00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>and on current events. Alright, So this time when get

15
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.359
<v Speaker 1>my thoughts by the aspects of John Hughes and his

16
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 1>legacy with a recent article that came out about him. Alright,

17
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 1>here we go. Alright, So, to be exact, there was

18
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 1>a Variety article talking about this e excuse me to

19
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>be exact. Last week, uh August eighth was released about

20
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Marcoholl talking to a Variety saying that John Hughes

21
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 1>did have plans and for a sequel for The Breakfast Club.

22
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>It was very interesting cause he was saying that it

23
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.599
<v Speaker 1>would have been something like uh them being in their

24
00:01:54.599 --> 00:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>thirties and recanting uh uh r talking about hashing out

25
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 1>what it was like and everything else, and that that

26
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>would have been really interesting and and N so I'm

27
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna get into that now. Initially, N me finding out

28
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 1>about John Hughes film films, and uh it started with

29
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>sixteen Candles and then the uh Breakfast Club and then

30
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Pretty and Pink. And when I was about fifteen, you

31
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>know that was that was back when it was still

32
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 1>video stores. And I I A, yeah, I was. I

33
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.080
<v Speaker 1>heard about John Hughes, but I was like, okay, let

34
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>me check it out for myself. And so John Hughes

35
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 1>it was really in it wa I I I don't know.

36
00:02:55.159 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>He really had that down with the aspects of being

37
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 1>honest about the experiences teenagers go through. And and when

38
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:19.479
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Michael Hall was talking about him speaking to John

39
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Hughes and having and John Hughes talking about everything, cause

40
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>he was saying this was this was not not too

41
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 1>long before his untimely death and he w and it

42
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 1>wa It's just it's rough when you have uh illnesses,

43
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and especially from what I understand John Hughes had a

44
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 1>heart attack. That's that's really devastating. So you know, he

45
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>was saying, ye, he had all these plans and and

46
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, and then Anthony Michael Hall was like, oh, yeah,

47
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, and and his uh perspective about it, and

48
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>and n y'all linked this for you Andy, It's it's

49
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 1>really interesting even though, and that says a lot about

50
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>someone's character too. You know, even though a lot of

51
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 1>time has passed and careers and everything else has developed,

52
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 1>with John Hughes and Anthony Mark Hall and all these

53
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of things, you know, to still have that kind

54
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 1>of rapport with ther each other, reach out to each

55
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 1>other and have that dynamic that that's that says a

56
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.439
<v Speaker 1>lot and it and it it really comes across very

57
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>well in the A and and in respect to the

58
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 1>way his movies were Jon Hughes, because they were very

59
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:59.160
<v Speaker 1>a they were coming of age, but they weren't vacuumed

60
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>where it it it y. You know, it's very pretentious.

61
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 1>And that's what got the ball rolling when other w

62
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>w you know, when we getting in the aspects of

63
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>movies that came out in the nineties and so forth.

64
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.439
<v Speaker 1>They help John Hughes helped l lay the foundation in

65
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 1>the aspects of you know, talking about what young people

66
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.199
<v Speaker 1>go through and everything else doesn't quite work when you

67
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 1>have actors that are actually adults trying to portray that.

68
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, because you know, before movies like Him Hi

69
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>His came along, and you had assorted films that were

70
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>touching on the aspects of adolescents and stuff like that,

71
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.240
<v Speaker 1>but they were either overly dramatic the and there was

72
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 1>no it was just an extreme There was no in between.

73
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>And that's what was really interesting to me. And going

74
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>back to when I was looking for movies to watch,

75
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:23.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, back still when cause I was uh still

76
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.360
<v Speaker 1>towards the end of when uh Bogbuster Hollywood video was

77
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:32.639
<v Speaker 1>still think you know, when we get into the early

78
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>early to mid two thousands, right, and so they really

79
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.519
<v Speaker 1>it was really they It really caught my attention, uh

80
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:55.759
<v Speaker 1>when I was reading these films because I could easily

81
00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:08.759
<v Speaker 1>relate and because you know, unfortunately, uh, when you get

82
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.279
<v Speaker 1>into high school and you know of sort of things

83
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.279
<v Speaker 1>like this, Uh, you have the all those different experiences

84
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>that you necessarily go through. But it's like it it

85
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>it's something where you know, does it really have to

86
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:31.519
<v Speaker 1>be that way? Right? And that to from my point

87
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>of view, when when you initially see it as a

88
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.759
<v Speaker 1>a a teenager, like if you choose to watch these

89
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>films as a teenager, or if you are interested in

90
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 1>watching these films as a teenager, and then you know,

91
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>like if a a anniversary comes out of it about

92
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.600
<v Speaker 1>it and then you uh happen to be an uh

93
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.439
<v Speaker 1>adult at the time or or so forth, or you

94
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:58.839
<v Speaker 1>wanna revisit it when you know you're an adult. You

95
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>when you look at it, you know, it's like does

96
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:10.279
<v Speaker 1>it e a you realize you know, when you're a teenager,

97
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.120
<v Speaker 1>it's either does it really have to be that way?

98
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, certain circumstances, it seemed like it might

99
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>drive up for things to be to have that kind

100
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>of dynamic, and you know it and then you realize

101
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>that things are as serious as it seems then versus

102
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.320
<v Speaker 1>now and all these kind of things and it and

103
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:42.840
<v Speaker 1>it it makes you realize that and then uh, he

104
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 1>didn't always and what was really interesting when about John Hughes,

105
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.559
<v Speaker 1>he didn't always stay in that realm with the aspects

106
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 1>of coming of age films. Of course, that's where he

107
00:08:52.919 --> 00:09:00.039
<v Speaker 1>got his frame fame and made his UH notoriety. But

108
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:10.279
<v Speaker 1>but films like movies like uh, Uncle Buck it gotch planes,

109
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:18.879
<v Speaker 1>trains and automobiles, Home Alone, w W ver versus sixteen

110
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.080
<v Speaker 1>canels bru you know in this instance the Breakfast Club

111
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:25.960
<v Speaker 1>and everything else. What are these films have in common,

112
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.039
<v Speaker 1>even though they're vastly different than the subject matter. They

113
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>have in common is the aspects of family and isolation. UH.

114
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Family are coming to terms or something and when in

115
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.080
<v Speaker 1>being honest about something when you really don't want to.

116
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:54.399
<v Speaker 1>And it's really interesting too when you add in the

117
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:59.399
<v Speaker 1>aspects of UH fan theories. Cause most of the time

118
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 1>when and you a in the aspects of fan theories.

119
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to John Hughes films, they either have

120
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>to do with Christianity or they have to do with

121
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 1>the aspects of UH. In the case of Home Alone,

122
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, UH operative or you know and also s

123
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 1>more sinister the aspects of evil or when you break

124
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:32.080
<v Speaker 1>those downs, they c can have you know, religious undertones

125
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:42.879
<v Speaker 1>if you look at it too, and that in Itsel

126
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:49.159
<v Speaker 1>says a lot about also his disposition, cause he said

127
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot when he was interviewed, and they were he

128
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>was a He was aksed different questions about what is

129
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:01.399
<v Speaker 1>your inspiration uh with uh your films, like W you

130
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 1>know what inspires you? And he he said, when you know,

131
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm trying to think exactly, you know, from what

132
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.559
<v Speaker 1>I remember. So he was saying along the lines of,

133
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:15.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just wanted to be honest about my

134
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.799
<v Speaker 1>experience when I was growing up, cause you know, he

135
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 1>grew up in the Midwest, you know, around Chicago and

136
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 1>around the area, and that is a h a very

137
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:36.519
<v Speaker 1>different experience for someone who you know, grew up out

138
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:42.039
<v Speaker 1>in the south or who grew up uh more up

139
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 1>north where you know where you get into uh the

140
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 1>New York territories or you get uh the uh you

141
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.080
<v Speaker 1>get uh someone who grew at in the W the

142
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:58.559
<v Speaker 1>uh West or East or something. But most of the time,

143
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:10.919
<v Speaker 1>W what W in, which is very poignant about you know,

144
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.240
<v Speaker 1>W what I what I was saying with UH tie

145
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>this into W you know what I was talking about

146
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:23.000
<v Speaker 1>last week with the aspects of things that are successful

147
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>as far as you know, s what some people consider

148
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:31.440
<v Speaker 1>it with spin offs and then you know, just rein

149
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:39.200
<v Speaker 1>uh rehashing what has already been done. That when someone

150
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:49.519
<v Speaker 1>takes the liberty to take a chance on showcasing, they

151
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.799
<v Speaker 1>experience that they lived in in our artistic way, and

152
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 1>they're really genuine about it. That comes up across quite well,

153
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:04.559
<v Speaker 1>and you can give it time. A lot of people

154
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:08.159
<v Speaker 1>respond to it pretty well. And John Hughes is a

155
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:11.960
<v Speaker 1>really good example of that, and I think that's why

156
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:18.960
<v Speaker 1>his movies are will always have a lot of relevance

157
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the U no matter what time period it is or

158
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>generation it is. There's something in his films that somebody

159
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:38.399
<v Speaker 1>can take away from and and even though it's unfortunately

160
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:43.200
<v Speaker 1>being pushed where you know, there's something normalizing the aspects

161
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.799
<v Speaker 1>of not having nothing new to their family or it's

162
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.159
<v Speaker 1>not important to have an extended family or family it's

163
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:53.960
<v Speaker 1>not really important. What's more important. It's self indulgence. Are

164
00:13:54.039 --> 00:14:01.919
<v Speaker 1>more important to always internalize what's all all in your

165
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:06.000
<v Speaker 1>own head, not really taking consideration of what other people think,

166
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.200
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not. You know, we we being even

167
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.600
<v Speaker 1>though it's you know, it's that same adage when you

168
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:19.639
<v Speaker 1>look at it, you know, the loudest wagon gets the

169
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:23.879
<v Speaker 1>most a attention because there's nothing in it, and it

170
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:28.000
<v Speaker 1>makes the most noise, right, But that's the only reason

171
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.759
<v Speaker 1>why it's getting attention, because it's making them the more

172
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.799
<v Speaker 1>most noise and there's nothing now, so you know, people

173
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:40.480
<v Speaker 1>are shouting all these ridiculous things because they're very voistous

174
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:48.279
<v Speaker 1>with nothing to say. But you know, if we uh

175
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>uh uh wanna be really honest with ourselves, you know,

176
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:57.320
<v Speaker 1>thinking like that, you know, having selfish, selfish mentalities and

177
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:02.639
<v Speaker 1>just having all these extreme agendas, you no, normal people

178
00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:05.679
<v Speaker 1>don't really you know, relate to that kind of stuff.

179
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:14.200
<v Speaker 1>And if you never perpetually go through milestones are y y,

180
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:18.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're not really seeking those things out. They

181
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.919
<v Speaker 1>really play themselves for a wrong in a wrong direction,

182
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's very detrimental in the aspects of of cultural

183
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:36.200
<v Speaker 1>development and and also when you think the fabric of

184
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:42.200
<v Speaker 1>UH what can be passed down and so uh A

185
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.679
<v Speaker 1>lot of times when we look on a with the

186
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.200
<v Speaker 1>uh John and also w A W what I think

187
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.879
<v Speaker 1>is very relatable in the aspects of John Hughes films.

188
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:58.679
<v Speaker 1>They call these the the the characters to come to

189
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:05.279
<v Speaker 1>times with milestone s right, And that's what's so odd

190
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.919
<v Speaker 1>about a lot of things that are uh coming out now,

191
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.639
<v Speaker 1>which with that with what they have the the label

192
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>as it got it. They have to meet these agendas

193
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:23.240
<v Speaker 1>in order to you know, be uh appeasing to the

194
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:28.039
<v Speaker 1>higher ups in entertainment when it's just very polarizing, right,

195
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:34.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, for instance, the Odyssey. Now, now I'm gonna

196
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.679
<v Speaker 1>rehash this because it you know, it's like, uh, it's

197
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:40.320
<v Speaker 1>so many other people that have said it and I've

198
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:42.799
<v Speaker 1>said it are already, but I'm just gonna rehash this

199
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:46.559
<v Speaker 1>cause it's on top of another level of a really

200
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:52.000
<v Speaker 1>good example. Now, the Odyssey is one of those things

201
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:58.600
<v Speaker 1>where when you look at the rich history of it,

202
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you have to be very respectful of the source because

203
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:12.119
<v Speaker 1>the Odyssey is pertaining to the aspects of things that

204
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.440
<v Speaker 1>are s relevant are si you know, still relevant to

205
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Greek culture. And if you don't take the time to

206
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:27.039
<v Speaker 1>understand that all all of these an uh notations and

207
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>references and you come in it with their agenda, oh, well,

208
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, we have to put uh our own politics

209
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 1>into it. And it doesn't really matter about the natural

210
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:48.839
<v Speaker 1>the uh the uh develop source of where it came from.

211
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:53.559
<v Speaker 1>It d it does. It seems disingenuous and people aren't

212
00:17:53.599 --> 00:18:00.200
<v Speaker 1>are are gonna you know, not give it it it's

213
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the a any credit or just written off as another

214
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.880
<v Speaker 1>thing that somebody has done to push an agenda on,

215
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:13.759
<v Speaker 1>when that's really unfortunate because there's a lot of pr

216
00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:17.759
<v Speaker 1>uh relevant messag messages in the Odyssey that a lot

217
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:20.839
<v Speaker 1>of people can relate to. And then it t also

218
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.279
<v Speaker 1>ties back with the aspects of you know, touching on

219
00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:27.960
<v Speaker 1>milestones in life in order for people to become more

220
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:32.400
<v Speaker 1>productive in uh culture, in order for their culture to

221
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:39.759
<v Speaker 1>strive and move forward and be more enlightened. And I

222
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:46.440
<v Speaker 1>think that's what needs to be treasured and protected, you know,

223
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:49.839
<v Speaker 1>when we come to the arts and we come to

224
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.160
<v Speaker 1>a and when we come when we think about entertainment

225
00:18:54.079 --> 00:19:02.720
<v Speaker 1>because for instance, uh uh before uh before and after

226
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.400
<v Speaker 1>John Hughes came along. You know, the actors who were

227
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:08.839
<v Speaker 1>a part of the brad Pack, they have contributed and

228
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.319
<v Speaker 1>they still contribute to a lesser extent in different ways,

229
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:15.079
<v Speaker 1>even if it's an unfortunate that some of them just

230
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:22.039
<v Speaker 1>have these weird mentalities about their disposition with the woke mentality,

231
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:26.119
<v Speaker 1>which is unfortunate because that's you know, that's them personally,

232
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:32.279
<v Speaker 1>their issue. But you also, even though they're personally doing

233
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.519
<v Speaker 1>things that are not really I don't agree with are

234
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:42.599
<v Speaker 1>n very harm or harmful to the fabric of mar

235
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.039
<v Speaker 1>uh uh the development of American values and the development

236
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:53.359
<v Speaker 1>of Western civilization. Here, that's neither said nor none. What

237
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.920
<v Speaker 1>what's important is them being a part of something bigger

238
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:00.759
<v Speaker 1>than themselves, right, which that that that's what you give

239
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.599
<v Speaker 1>respect to me, and that's what you think about, right alright,

240
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:13.400
<v Speaker 1>So let's get back to that. Okay, So now, bef

241
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:16.759
<v Speaker 1>na I now before as I I mentioned er uh

242
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:22.599
<v Speaker 1>reh reiterate this again. You know, there was just this

243
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I g uh for for example, even though it's uh raunchy,

244
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, porky's uh something like that, uh sh uh,

245
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.759
<v Speaker 1>movies like that, they they were y and then you

246
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:40.839
<v Speaker 1>know an animal house. Uh. You know, they were like

247
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:44.400
<v Speaker 1>a a very niche things that would be you know

248
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:47.240
<v Speaker 1>more you know some some people would would refer to

249
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:51.839
<v Speaker 1>that more as uh male humor. But they happened to

250
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:58.799
<v Speaker 1>be things that were youth oriented, but real are It

251
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:09.039
<v Speaker 1>was a a thing where or something melodramatic happened and

252
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:13.039
<v Speaker 1>uh something like uh and uh and in uh uh

253
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>like uh with the u y uh the boy the

254
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:25.000
<v Speaker 1>boy in the bubble with uh John Travolta or something

255
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:28.519
<v Speaker 1>like ice Castles or something like Love Story. And then

256
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:32.480
<v Speaker 1>also Greece was very interesting because Greece was tipping, tipping

257
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:35.359
<v Speaker 1>the toes and move moving them in mento in their

258
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:40.079
<v Speaker 1>aspects of doing something new, where you know, before Greece

259
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:43.480
<v Speaker 1>it was just you know, when it comes to musicals,

260
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.680
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't a break up to where uh it was

261
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:52.680
<v Speaker 1>a variation of people y. You know, it was one

262
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:55.880
<v Speaker 1>of those things where you know, I like musicals, but

263
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:58.880
<v Speaker 1>at at a point I was like, oh my gosh,

264
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:02.960
<v Speaker 1>because in and it was a you know, very appreciative

265
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:08.440
<v Speaker 1>of uh movies like Greece, and then Greece in in

266
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:14.039
<v Speaker 1>itself because they understood that, you know, it's off putting

267
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:19.000
<v Speaker 1>for to sit there for however long and all they

268
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:22.359
<v Speaker 1>ever do is just seeing everything and there's no like

269
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.640
<v Speaker 1>a you know, kind of situational uh place in the

270
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:33.200
<v Speaker 1>movie where they're just you know, talking, con conversing, and

271
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:36.519
<v Speaker 1>Greece was one of those that did that. But at

272
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:39.319
<v Speaker 1>the same time, it was the campiness and not being

273
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:43.480
<v Speaker 1>very genuine with the aspects of teenage experience. It was

274
00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:46.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of all over the place. But that was really

275
00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:48.200
<v Speaker 1>neat what they were doing. They were taking a chance

276
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.599
<v Speaker 1>with that and it really worked well. Now, when John

277
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Hughes came along, he said, okay, well I bet you

278
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:03.160
<v Speaker 1>want more tier here less be even more genuine the

279
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:08.519
<v Speaker 1>aspects of the teenage experience. But instead of doing the

280
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:13.000
<v Speaker 1>same whereas older people and the adults portraying in a

281
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:16.599
<v Speaker 1>teenage life, is actually teenagers who are doing this, and

282
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:19.359
<v Speaker 1>see how that works. And it worked very well because

283
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:23.839
<v Speaker 1>it was more genuine and it's more relatable. And that

284
00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:30.480
<v Speaker 1>was that they you know, that was very successful. And

285
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:34.119
<v Speaker 1>so my whole point of bringing all this up is

286
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:38.839
<v Speaker 1>that it's I think, you know, moving forward. You know,

287
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:42.079
<v Speaker 1>when we think about the a aspects of what impacts

288
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:49.680
<v Speaker 1>culture and the aspects of things that are healthier for

289
00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:56.400
<v Speaker 1>culture and help with you know, more engaged conversations people

290
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.480
<v Speaker 1>un you know, things that it can be better official

291
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:05.759
<v Speaker 1>for the growth of success and successful for culture and

292
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:12.839
<v Speaker 1>other generations. It's to look towards things that give more

293
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:21.799
<v Speaker 1>th that that engage more meaning beyond oneself or that

294
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:26.839
<v Speaker 1>it's mindful of those things, you know, where it's not

295
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:34.279
<v Speaker 1>something hard to do and when and I I you know,

296
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I'll close with this. Uh So, when that was a

297
00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'll say it again. It's still on I'm

298
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:48.359
<v Speaker 1>not mistaken, it's still on Hulu. I give a lot

299
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:56.559
<v Speaker 1>of respect for this documentary I'm trying to think about. Uh.

300
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Andrew McCarthy was the forerunner of making this uh big uh.

301
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:09.559
<v Speaker 1>I think you know, he was giving his interpretation of

302
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the aspects of w W what it was like with

303
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.640
<v Speaker 1>youth entertainment, uh, before they came along with Backpack and

304
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.720
<v Speaker 1>after and then the article that came out by saying

305
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:31.119
<v Speaker 1>that you know, their pretentious. When it turns out this

306
00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:34.759
<v Speaker 1>guy who came out with this article uh slandering, you know,

307
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:39.160
<v Speaker 1>trying to slander really and it was unfortunate that they

308
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:41.720
<v Speaker 1>they uh took that to heart when they should have

309
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.160
<v Speaker 1>just ran with it and just said, okay, you know,

310
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:47.720
<v Speaker 1>but it's just it's one of those things. It's a

311
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:50.839
<v Speaker 1>life lesson. But they was they s you know, like

312
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, what was really good at like uh you

313
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:55.519
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, you know uh uh most of

314
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:59.799
<v Speaker 1>them still just managed to transition themselves into other careers

315
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.920
<v Speaker 1>and MA made it work for them. But really good

316
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.279
<v Speaker 1>example of that and say okay whatever and they learn

317
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:10.880
<v Speaker 1>learn and that it's unfortunate. It's one of those things

318
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:20.559
<v Speaker 1>sometimes and tra a tragedy, opportunities happen unfortunately. But when

319
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:23.400
<v Speaker 1>you think about the transition, uh, and I'll get back

320
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:30.920
<v Speaker 1>to this documentary with Andrew McCarthy. So the nineties when

321
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:34.920
<v Speaker 1>um uh Nino two one on, you know, that kind

322
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:39.119
<v Speaker 1>of crowd came along. No, they they they took it

323
00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:41.400
<v Speaker 1>and ran with it, and they say, hey, this is us,

324
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:44.640
<v Speaker 1>uh like it or not, Hey, we're gonna, you know,

325
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:47.400
<v Speaker 1>make this work for us. And it really did, and

326
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:51.160
<v Speaker 1>it it was really interesting how that transition and change

327
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:54.799
<v Speaker 1>the cultural landscape the nineties too, with this aspects of

328
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:59.440
<v Speaker 1>teenage life and gen X and all that, so that

329
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's another really good example of cultivating something

330
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:08.359
<v Speaker 1>uh for for good or for the a bad And

331
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:15.680
<v Speaker 1>you know it's there's not uh the you know, the

332
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:19.559
<v Speaker 1>the gen X is one of those strange things where

333
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:28.160
<v Speaker 1>they they are very uh the best way I can

334
00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:32.480
<v Speaker 1>describe that, they they they were really gen xers. That

335
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:35.160
<v Speaker 1>from you know, I'm just saying from my point of

336
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:39.480
<v Speaker 1>view where you know, from even though I'm a l' millennial.

337
00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:42.119
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's just it's one of those things where

338
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:46.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, you may do with what kind of label.

339
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:48.400
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I don't I know, I am who

340
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:50.559
<v Speaker 1>I am, even though I happen to be a millennial.

341
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:59.279
<v Speaker 1>But the way it this position is like Jena at

342
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:03.799
<v Speaker 1>having that mean mentality with gen X making the best

343
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 1>are bad situations like you know, that's kind of like

344
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.680
<v Speaker 1>their their thing, their their trademark, you know when you

345
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:17.319
<v Speaker 1>look at it. And Okay, So going back to the

346
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Brackpad with UH Andrew McCarthy, Now, I really appreciate this

347
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.480
<v Speaker 1>documentary because it was really candy in the aspects of

348
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:39.119
<v Speaker 1>UH saying that UH, you know, well see you you

349
00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:42.480
<v Speaker 1>at some point have to come to terms with something.

350
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:46.279
<v Speaker 1>You have to come to terms, uh with mistakes and

351
00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:50.079
<v Speaker 1>everything else and then trying to figure out solutions and

352
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:56.039
<v Speaker 1>all of that. And the documentary really highlighted that very well.

353
00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:01.759
<v Speaker 1>And I can't stress enough I really appreciate the aspects

354
00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:06.200
<v Speaker 1>of what John Hughes has given to UH pop culture.

355
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.039
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I think that, you know, closing out

356
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.160
<v Speaker 1>on my thoughts with the week, I think that's what

357
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:19.160
<v Speaker 1>needs to be UH protected and thought about. You know,

358
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:23.519
<v Speaker 1>when we move on and we UH look at things

359
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:26.960
<v Speaker 1>that are are relevant in pop culture, you know, h

360
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:31.319
<v Speaker 1>it's w what is what's the give and take of it?
