Austin Lugo: All right. You recording? Yep. All right. Me too.

We're back. We're back in a big way.

Andrew Harp: That's right after. After. Show

Austin Lugo: the, the show. After the show. So I've been watching a lot of television lately because I've realized. My job just doesn't require my full attention. So I've been kind of getting, getting into television for the first time in honestly, a long time.

So did I ever talk to you after I finished Sopranos?

Andrew Harp: I don't know if we had a formal conversation about it. I mean, it's a great show. I mean,

Austin Lugo: we talked about it a lot on the author show, but I did finish it and, uh, nothing but great things to say. I can see why people were frustrated by the ending.

Especially

Andrew Harp: if you've been watching it for a very, very long time. For like

Austin Lugo: years. Yeah. Yeah. I think it helped that, like I knew how the ending was gonna be. Like I, I knew a lot about the ending, so it didn't affect me as much. I, I think it's still a good ending. Um, but I can understand why people might be, Frustrated by the ending cuz there's no real, there's no real sense of closure.

Yeah. Despite the fact that they kill almost everybody this last year. So it's like there's killing left and right. Yeah. Which I found people that have been, you know, surviving for like six seasons, just suddenly, like they just, just getting slaughter. All of 'em . But I think the ending was fine. I, I think it was.

and Traching and I, I understand why people like didn't love the ending and there's kind of, uh, this like weird sort of like lack of closure in it. But yeah, I don't know. I, I'm fine with that. I'm okay with it. It's no big deal. Yeah. I feel you. It's a good show. Yeah. It's, it's pretty right. And I also, I also watched, uh, I got through all of Breaking Bad, so I just finished it like two days ago.

I finished

Andrew Harp: it not too long ago as well for like the second time through. And, uh, yeah, it's good. It's a good show. Yeah. That, that, that has a very satisfying ending, I will say.

Austin Lugo: Yes. Yeah, it was, uh, just a real good sense of, of closure. Like everything just kind of, uh, wraps up itself nicely. Have you watched the movie?

Andrew Harp: No, not yet, but, but we intend to soon. Have you?

Austin Lugo: No, I haven't watched yet. I'm watching, uh, better Call Saul. So I just watched the

Andrew Harp: first episode of that. Yeah, we started watching that show too a little while ago, but we haven't, we kind of stopped watching it. I thought it was all right. Yeah, I'm,

Austin Lugo: I mean, again, I've only seen the first episode and.

I'm not really all that impressed so far. I mean, I love, like, you know, me and you talked about this earlier, but I think, uh, Bob Odenkirk is definitely the most intriguing character in Breaking Bad. So I understand why, why they did it. But again, I've only seen first episode, so it's, it's too early for me to give a, a true opinion on it.

And I'll probably watch all of it, cuz again, I gotta watch something, but I'm not impressed yet. So we're still really early, so maybe, you know, maybe some later seasons I'll get better. We'll see. We'll see. What have you been watching,

Andrew Harp: Andrew? I don't, I don't watch a lot of tv. I mean, yeah, we watch Breaking Bad, which was, you know, fun to watch.

And I'm trying to think what other television, if any television I've been watching. I can't really think of anything off the top of my head. , you know, I don't really watch television very much. Like I said, I've had like, kind of like a dip in my movie watching, but I've been picking it back up the past few weeks or so.

Like for, you know, preparing for the episode I watch. Um, Like four other Keana movies. All of them are kind of like Yakuza cop related and I would recommend them all. Honestly, like the first, his first, uh, film Violent Cop is like a really good debut film. Very violent. It might be a detriment, but some people might like it a lot, but like it's, I think his style is very, very like on display in this movie to the point where it might kind of take you out.

So a lot of like very short scenes that just start and then end out of nowhere and very quick violence. And I think there's a little bit less heart in it, but it's still a very good movie and very tragic movie. The his other film Boiling Point, which he came out later, I liked a little bit Less, but it was still good.

Gaetano plays like a very weird character in it that isn't really like the main character of the movie, but he plays like an insane like Yakuza guy who's not like a Yakuza anymore, but he acts like one and he acts crazy. He does crazy ass. Like he just, he just loses mind in that movie and is a good looking movie.

So I, I've noticed that. I think Catana likes sports a lot. So like Boiling Point has like a lot of like baseball stuff in it. And I know his, some of his other movies, like he has a movie that has like boxing in it. He has like a movie that has like, there's another sport Oh, surfing. He has a movie that's like about surfing.

So I, I think he likes sports a lot, but I think the best like Ketana movie that I watched, That might be even a little bit better than Habe is a soine, which is like you were talking about how like, um, fireworks doesn't have like a lot of action in it. Soine has a lot of action. It's very violent, but it still kind of has the same like, just kind of, it kind of has the same trajectory as fireworks does, where there's like a crazy ass beginning and then there's this kind of portion in the movie where they're just kind of chilling and hanging.

That has kind of like all these like weird stuff going on. Great music looks great, variety of different like locations, but it's way more violent. It's way more brutal. Guns, explosions, car chase shit. Like, it's just like a really good. Movie. I like fireworks a lot. It's great. But I think I like Soine a little bit more.

I think there's something a little bit more dark about it. Fireworks is a little bit more light, which I like. I don't know. They're both kind of, they're sort of end to end, you know? They're kind of like right up against each other. Sort of. The only other, uh, Kitana movie that I watched was a very weird one called Brother.

It's a movie where Kitano. He has to leave Japan. So he goes to LA where his like, um, little brother is, and he builds like a drug empire with his brother, but it's in Los Angeles. So Katana like directed a movie in which there are like English

Austin Lugo: speakers in it. Is it a Japanese speaking movie or is it English?

It's both.

Andrew Harp: It's both. Okay. Okay. Yeah, like everybody, you know, there are characters in it that speak Japanese, and there are characters in it that don't speak Japanese. It features, uh, the famous African American actor Omar Epps, who's been in, like, in a number of movies. But I don't know. I, I, I liked it. It's a good movie.

It's, it's really nice. Honestly. It's, uh, it has a, it's a very propulsive movie. It's very diverse, you know, like, you kind of basically have every type of person in it. It's pretty violent. It's pretty funny. You know, there are moments where people are hanging out, you know, like a, like a typical Kitana movie.

I recommend it. It might be my least favorite that I've watched, but it's still like, really good. It's really, really, I recommend that one for sure. I

Austin Lugo: thought fireworks was great, so I'd love to to get into more of his stuff. And that sounds that I'm definitely gonna check out, uh, Soine. That sounds incredible.

But his other films sound great too.

Andrew Harp: Yep. I, uh, he, he, he has a very diverse group. I mean, you know, he, he's made like comedies. He's made, like, you know, these, of course these crime yuckies like caught movies, but he is also made, I think like coming of age. Movies and dramas and romance movies and, you know, he, he, he's, he's got a pretty wide gamut of stuff.

Austin Lugo: I love it. I'm excited to get into it. I think it'll be, it'll be fun. I went to the, the movies on Thursday, went to a movie theater. It'd been a. Let me see. When's the last time I went to movie theater? Oh, I guess I haven't been that long. It'd been like, no, it'd been almost a month since I had gone to movie theater.

So I saw, uh, saw the ban sheets of Rin. Nice. One

Andrew Harp: of your favorite

Austin Lugo: directors I believe. I do like Martin McDonald a lot. I loved in Bruce. Uh, that was kind of one of my, uh, when I was first getting into like watching films in Bruce was very kind of early influential film. I like seven Psycho Pass Three Billboards.

Is is okay. It's not as probably as weakest film, but you know, it's still enjoyable. I think this film is definitely his darkest film by far. You know, his films always kinda have like a dark tent to it, but there're, there's kind of like a, almost a silliness that underlies all of it. This one, uh, is just, it's really dark and, uh, it's not a happy, it's a pretty depressing film.

I mean, some incre absolutely incredible performance from, you know, everyone involved. I mean, Colin Ferrell is incredible and so is, uh, Brendan Cleon incredibly small cast. There's only like 10 people in this film, and it's, it's like just a super low key, probably pretty low budget film. I mean, it's basically just like this island off of Ireland in like 1923 and Colin Ferrell and, you know, Brin Gleason just kind of have.

It's arguably the most Irish film I've ever seen. Like they all have those like super thick. Irish accents and Irish dialects. So, uh, you know, they say like, Beckin and uh, and they say like, so after every sentence it's uh, it takes a minute to kind of get into cuz it's almost, you know, as a dialect you're almost outside of English.

So, uh, you know, there can be moments that kind of like hard to figure out what they're saying. Yeah. Uh, cuz it's just like a lot, especially cuz it's also a period piece. So it's like 1923 Irish slang, but it. A very beautiful film. I mean, I think anytime you shoot anything in Ireland, it's just gonna look beautiful Cause it's just like, it's a beautiful area.

So it's hard for it not to look beautiful. It looking good. Great performances overall, especially cuz they're not given, I mean, other than, you know, dialogue, they're really not given a whole lot to work with and just, uh, A really depressing film about, you know, this idea of, you know, what it means to be great versus like what it means to be nice and kind of these, these juxtaposing views.

I think you'd like it.

Andrew Harp: No? Yeah, I gotta see it. I would like to see it. Yeah. I've heard,

Austin Lugo: I've heard enough good things. It's very good. And I think it was, it was worth a theater experience. I mean, I think. I don't think experience is gonna be that different at home just cuz it is. You know, there's not like a whole lot of action or anything.

So I wouldn't say it necessitates a, uh, theater experience, but if you happen to, uh, have the time and it be showing a in a theater near you, I think it's worth the experience.

Andrew Harp: Yeah, I will definitely need to check it out. Definitely gotta check it out. I haven't even seen Three Billboards though. I haven't seen that one.

Never got around to it. Probably a pretty

Austin Lugo: overrated. It's fine. I, I, like I said, I think it's Martin McDonough's weakest film, but. It's all right. The kind of like a plot twist or I, I don't even know what you would call it. The kind of main plot point is very fairly made fun of a lot cause it's kind of dumb.

The thing that like everything kind of turns on is, is is pretty stupid. But there's some good parts in it. You know, there's some good writing and you know, Peter Dinkle is great in it and there's some good bran, thurmond's good, it is good performances, but the kind of main plot thing is, is kind. Dumb. And it's uh, it's definitely his, like most saccharin, like I would say.

What's interesting about Three Billboards, uh, being his last film, it's a very interesting juxtaposition to, uh, the Bans instrument because Three Billboards is like very melodramatic and saccharin almost to the point of being like silly, where this film is just so dark and almost depress. It's definitely the opposite end of the spectrum.

I mean, it's obviously the same director and you can tell, but he's definitely moved from like one extreme to the other. And I, I think this extreme is, is much better than uh, three billboards I think. And Bruce is still my favorite of his, but that might mostly just be a nostalgic thing at this point.

Yeah, but this is probably, even though in Bruce is my favorite of his films, this is probably, uh, his best film.

Andrew Harp: Well, that's good. That's, I'm, I'm, I'm glad, I'm glad to hear I gotta, I gotta check it out. I will watch it. I'm trying to see the theaters. They really should play at the cinema, but they're not playing some bullshit at the cinema.

I watched a, uh, a bit of a, a bit of a mid-tier film from one of your favorite directors of all time. Mr. Uh, Paul ve Hoen watched a mid-tier film of. What'd you watch? I watched a Hollow man. Hollow man. Hollow man. Yeah. Starting Kevin Bacon. It's a movie about a guy who becomes invisible and he is terrible

He does terrible things cuz he is now invisible. I liked it. It's not like a one of his best movies. I could see some people saying that. It's terrible. But I thought it, I thought it was decent. It's kind of, yeah, it's like a, it's like a nice little movie about like, obviously it's not as good as to recall or Robocop or Starship Troopers, but it, it's still kind of a fun little movie where like, Kevin Bacon, like, like I said, becomes a visible and he goes absolutely insane.

And he goes on this horrible like rampage where he's just like, fucking people up for what reason? Like

Austin Lugo: just cuz he

Andrew Harp: can just cuz he can. That's it. I mean, there's obviously like more stuff to this story going on. There's like, kind of like a love triangle thing. There's like a, like an experiments like military contract thing going on of course, as well.

Always, always. I'm not gonna explain any, any of these things, but it's, it's, it's funny, it's very funny and, uh, a nice little, uh, uh, film pretty, you know, low key and I thought like the effects were pretty good. The way that they kind of, I don't know. There's some weird stuff in it, but I think the way that they kind of like show people being invisible is interesting.

Like they'll show like a, like a, like somebody laying down on like, kind of like a stretcher and it'll show, it'll be like imprinted as if like an invisible Oh, that's cool. Like there's some like really good effect stuff in it, as usual from a fair Hoven movie. But yeah, it's like a mid level. Bear Hoven movie.

It's good.

Austin Lugo: Perhaps worth to watch. I mean, I've only seen two of his films, Robocop and Toll Recall, which Robocop wasn't my favorite film in the world, but, uh, we talked about it. Toll recalls great. It's a little silly. It's a little ridiculous, but, uh, so great. I, I think that'd be a, I think that'd be enjoyable.

Watch it might, might get around to that. Sometimes

Andrew Harp: we prob we probably gotta watch Starship Troopers for the podcast sometime. I think like out of all of his movies, I've seen that movie. Than any of his movies for some reason. Like I think I've seen it probably like four or five, six times at this point.

That's a lot. It's not my favorite of his. I would say like, you know, Robocop Total Recall, Starship Troopers, but I love Starship Troopers. It's just so like, it's funny and it's good and it's just, it's fun to watch. I would also recommend his most recent movie that he came out with, uh, last year. Beta. Yeah.

Rocks.

Austin Lugo: Good movie. I remember seeing the trailers. It looks, uh, it's on the list. It's a bit steamy. Steamy. Yeah. It's pretty steamy. I've heard Well from you. I've heard it from you. It's steamy , which is saying a lot because you, you watch some pretty steamy shit.

Andrew Harp: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I watch anything and yeah, I saw Ben Dun in the theater and that was good.

Yeah. I recommend it. I'm, I'm, I'm on the VE Hoven train. I love him. He's a great, great director. His movies are out there.

Austin Lugo: They are. I, I think, you know, if nothing else, his movies are very, Yeah. You, you have to respect him for, he definitely has, uh, his own vision of, and, and great incredible world builder.

All of his worlds I builds are just, yeah. Star

Andrew Harp: Troopers is a, is a good example of that as well. Yeah.

Austin Lugo: Awesome. Yeah. We'll do it. We'll do it. We'll do it sometime. We'll get to it. So I went and visited my parents for two weeks back in Indiana and. This was like a couple of days before Halloween, maybe it was like a day or two before Halloween.

And I was working and mom was like, do you wanna watch a Halloween movie? And I'm like, no, I gotta like, I gotta, I gotta work. Like I can't, I can't watch a movie right now. She's like, I'm gonna turn on Halloween movie. I'm like, okay. And uh, apparently my mom, who is like the sweetest lady in the world who, uh, you know, watches like, Fucking like romcoms, like just like sweet, uh, light romcoms.

She's like, oh, I've seen one of the final destinations before. She's not sure which ones she's seen. It wasn't the first. But she's seen one of them, so she turns on the original final destination, which I had never seen before. We've talked about before in the podcast, because I know you watched all of them not too long ago.

Andrew Harp: I watched them all in like, like a day or two, I think. Like I was just like, that's a lot of final destination. They're all very readily available and, uh, yeah, . But

Austin Lugo: I, I watched the first one and, uh, not bad. Not bad. It's, you and I talked about it a little bit. It's a bit silly. A bit saccharin. Sometimes the dialogue can be like a little cringy, I guess is the best way to say it.

And you know, the performances aren't anything to die for. And you know, the overall plot's a bit silly, and perhaps it's a little melodramatic, but there's some pretty inventive deaths. Which of course you know is really all you ask for. At the end of the day, the final destination. I imagine this isn't the case with the others, but I think my biggest complaint with the original found destination, and maybe this is just because I know what final destination is like I'm very aware of like the plot line.

I feel like it takes too long to get into like the. This is how it goes. You know, like person dies and then like all that, like I, it feels like it takes like 30 minutes to get into that, which I, it's too long. Like, I think that should be like five minutes in and we're into it. I don't

think

Andrew Harp: I, I have that complaint just because like, that is like an apparent thing that happens in the sequels where like everything is more streamlined now.

I kinda like all the extra talking and plots and just everybody kind of hanging out, talking. I love the build. To the initial like event. I think that has done very well where he has the vision and then there's this buildup and they're all running around and stuff, and I don't know, I, I, I like that stuff a little bit more.

I don't know. Maybe you'll like the sequels more just because like Yeah, like those movies are way more apparent with, with just, yeah. The, the gimmick, I guess

Austin Lugo: is the second movie. It still has, are there any of the original characters in the second movie?

Andrew Harp: I mean, Eh, , sort of like some characters, some characters kind of stick around like in the sequels, but I would say that like, kind of like the core cast and each of the movies are different.

I won't spoil anything. Um, but yeah, for the most part, like there's different characters for the most part,

Austin Lugo: every movie. Honestly, I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would because like, as you know, I'm not like a huge. They're not horror movies. I don't know how you would,

Andrew Harp: they're kind of horror.

They're kind of horror movies. Yeah.

Austin Lugo: Yeah. It's like, it's like a specific genre of horror though, isn't it? It's like a, I don't know, I can't put it in like the same range as like a saw or a Yeah,

Andrew Harp: it's kinda like, it's very similar to the Saw movies. Yeah.

Austin Lugo: But still haven't seen, saw, I wanna See Saw Still, um, seen 'em all.

I don't know if I can watch any of them in the first one because they seem too intense. Uh, for. Yeah, they get pretty grizzly,

Andrew Harp: which I like, but you

Austin Lugo: know, I can't, it's not the horror part. That part doesn't scare me. Uh, it, it's mostly the, the grizzlys that, uh, I don't think I can, I can get through. You

Andrew Harp: don't wanna see people cut off their own stomachs and no ,

Austin Lugo: no, not, not me.

That, not for me. I'm,

Andrew Harp: I'm okay with it. I like it. I find it very, uh, funny. The final destination. Sequels aren't that bad. The, the second and third movie are good, but you can pretty much stop after that. I would say the fourth movie is bad, and then the fifth movie is just like pretty bad. The second and third movie are honestly, you know, it, it feels like a continuation of the first movie more or less.

Did

Austin Lugo: I ever talk to you that I saw the, I saw Edward Scissors hands for the first time. I don't

Andrew Harp: think we talked about it. I haven't seen it. It's a big, big

Austin Lugo: blind spot for. It's a Tim Burton film, which is very obvious, you know, it has all of the kind of Tim Burton things, the kind of, you know, emo Winona writer and the, uh, you know, like perfect suburban houses.

Honestly, I like the idea of the film and some of the ideas Tim Burton kind of suggests in the film more than I like the film itself. I'd never been a big Tim Burn fan. You know, I'd seen a lot of his stuff up to before. I watch Edward set his hands, and I'd seen a lot of Edwards hands before, but I finally watched Edwood cuz I found out the library a couple months ago,

Andrew Harp: which one of the best movies ever made.

I don't think you and I ever talked about

Austin Lugo: that one. I don't think we ever talked about Edward. We should talk about Edwood. I think that's a, that's a better conversation. .

Andrew Harp: Edwood was one of the greatest movies ever. It's probably the

Austin Lugo: best. Tim Burt movie by far The best. Tim Burton movie. It's probably Johnny Depp's Best Performance.

Andrew Harp: He's so good. He's so fucking funny. We don't have a permit run. .

Austin Lugo: Such a funny film. Such a beautiful film. The cinematography is incredible. All performances are great. And you know, just an inspiring story, right about filmmaking and being a filmmaker, even though like this guy's career is kind of. I don't know, maybe depressing is not the right word.

Andrew Harp: Well, he did die a penniless drunk,

Austin Lugo: so yeah. So I guess it is a bit depressing. But I mean, you know, he did the thing he loved more than anything else, right? He made movies.

Andrew Harp: Well, my next one will be better. Is the worst thing you've ever seen. Well, my next one will be better, I guess.

Austin Lugo: It is depressing, but there is something, um, and I think Tim Burton, you know, really.

Lays heavy on this, which is like, there's something really inspiring about the story of Edwood, which, uh, you know, of course in the movie right, he parallels with, uh, Orson Wells career, right? It's kind of a, uh, his hair at Orson Wells also died, right? This kind of like having to do like these cheap. Well, I mean, it's a little different, but Right.

He, he ended up having to live with like his friends, like in their basement

Andrew Harp: and, you know, Edwood, he ended up like, you know, having to make like pornos and stuff like that. And I think Orson Wells like, I think ended up working with a lot of people who made Pornos or shot him. Yeah. You know, .

Austin Lugo: Yep, yep. Yeah, I think that's one of my favorite scenes in the movie is when Edward meets with Horse and Wells.

Cuz it's, it's interesting to watch those kind of parallel paths and. Sports and Wells, right? He, even though he went through all these kind of had like a shitty career in the way Ed Wood. It's still known as the Orson Wells, right? Everyone knows Orson Wells where Ed on the other hand. Yeah.

Andrew Harp: And, and I've heard that like some of Ed's movies like Glen or Glenda and even Plan Nine from Outer Space, I've heard those movies are actually like not bad.

Like people like, obviously like Ed has this reputation of being like the worst director who has made the worst movies, but I've heard that like those early films of his are like, not like bad movies. You know, I've heard they have had a lot. They have a lot.

Austin Lugo: I've never seen him, his films, I, after watching Edward, I would really love to see his films.

I think they're, I think they're pretty easy. I'm sure they're probably not hard to find. They're probably pretty easy.

Andrew Harp: Yeah, you could probably find 'em on YouTube, honestly.

Austin Lugo: Yeah, probably. Um, I doubt there's any copyright in any of those films. I think they'd be, and Glen or Glenda

Andrew Harp: honestly has like a, has kind of like, has a subject matter that is very, uh, ahead of its time, honestly.

Oh,

Austin Lugo: yeah. Yeah. I'd be really interested to, to see some of his work. Edwards, his hands is not as good.

Andrew Harp: I, I'm also a big fan, honestly, of his first movie that he ever directed. PeeWee's Big Adventure. I've never seen it. It's a great comedy movie. It's just a really good, like, funny, like slappy, like just silly movie.

Like, it's just really, it's legitimately like great movie. I haven't seen any peewee shit. I don't know much about the character. I haven't seen the show or any other movies. The movie's really good. It's honestly up there for me in terms of Tim Burton's movies.

Austin Lugo: Wow. That's. It's big words. I know people love, love their Tim Burton,

Andrew Harp: he's a hack now.

I mean like his late career is just like completely just,

Austin Lugo: it's hacking everything. After the year, what, 2000? I don't think he's done anything good. Yeah, it's been trash. Uh, Sweeney. Todds trash does Alice Wonderland movies are trash.

Andrew Harp: Not really a big fan of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Yeah.

People. People really like that movie for some reason, but I, I've never really been, I've never really identified it with it too much, especially compared to the original. Yeah,

Austin Lugo: I think there's definitely, like when it first came out, people didn't like it, but I think there was definitely a resurgence of people who kind of enjoyed it.

I don't know, I think there's something intriguing about it. I don't really love. His Charlie and Cha factory, but I do kind of like some of the storylines that he, uh, has in his film that of course aren't original and you know, there's no cheer up Charlie. So there is the advantage of that. But there's

Andrew Harp: a lot of songs in Charlie and the Chakra Factory and none of them are very memorable or interesting.

Yeah, that's a good point. Can you name me a tune from Charlie and can you hum me? Mpa

Austin Lugo: Lupa.

Andrew Harp: Oo. But that's from the original movie . They probably together, they probably do play that song in the, yeah, in the new one too.

Austin Lugo: Yeah. The only thing I can remember about the movie, I remember the scene really well.

He's like walking around and there it's like, it's showing like all these different flags, right? Like suggesting like he's traveling the world and he is just like at a, a museum. It's, it's a great scene. It's a, it's a genuinely funny scene and I think about that scene a lot and it's probably. One of like only two scenes I remember from that movie.

It's like that scene and then like the scene early on where he has like that, like big braces headset and he wants to eat chocolate.

Andrew Harp: I, I, I re-watched it recently and um, I still didn't like it, but maybe I'm a little too harsh on it. Maybe it's not as bad as I think it is. I don't know. I'm such a big fan of the first movie that like, I don't know, it's just maybe a little harder for

Austin Lugo: me.

When I was a kid, I watched that, that was like my sick movie. Um, whenever I get sick, I'd watch Charlie and Chocolate Factory. I watch the movie all the. Oh yeah. I've seen it so many times though. Gee, it's great. Gene Wilder incredible. I trying to think if I saw something new, which not new, but like for the first time with Gene Wilder in it.

Maybe not. I don't know. I watched Joan Frankenstein for Halloween, as we do every year,

Andrew Harp: the movie's. All right. You know, I like that movie, but I was never like a big fan. Like I watched her for the first time, not too long ago, and I thought it was good, but I'm not. Super gung-ho about it. I don't know. I don't know what it is.

I think

Austin Lugo: it's, it's probably one of my favorite Millbrooks films. I really like G Wilder, that film. I

Andrew Harp: dunno why I like blazing. I think I like Blazing Saddles more. I don't know why.

Austin Lugo: Yeah. I mean, blazing Saddles good. I think I've just, I've seen Blazing Saddles a lot. Yeah, me too. You know, I don't think I love Blazing Saddles as much as I used to.

I think if I'm gonna go Mel Brooks, I think I'm gonna go with Young Frankenstein. Honestly. No, no. Producers. Definitely producers.

Andrew Harp: Producers is good. I'm still blazing saddles all the way though. I still find that movie really funny. I shoot with this hand like .

Austin Lugo: It's so good. It is. It's really good. Are you gonna go see uh, the Felman?

Andrew Harp: Yeah, I will. I'll, I will. I'll go see it. I'll go see the Fable Men's. I'm definitely gonna go see it. Two and a half hours. There's too many like movies to go out and see. Honestly, you know, it's like, it's that time of the year, man. I know. It's that of the year. All the good movies come out. You got Fable Men's?

Yeah. Ban Cheese. I kind of missed the, I see the new Avatar. I, new avatar. I kind of missed the boat on tar, which I feel a little disappointed about, but That's okay. I'll, I'll see it again. I'll see it as soon enough. I'm not gonna go see that menu. Decision to leave Triangle of Sadness. That's another movie I don't think I'll see in theaters, but you know, the new, uh, Luca Guino movie, um, which once again, I don't know if I'll see that in theaters.

Probably not, but yeah, fable Men's gotta see in theaters. Gotta see it in theaters. Yeah. Gotta see it in theaters. It, it's about him and his weird parents.

Austin Lugo: I mean, he finally, finally does the thing cuz that's all his movies, right? They're all about. His divorce, he finally made the movie. Good job. Good job, Steven Spielberg.

You did

Andrew Harp: it. It's probably pretty good. I've, I've seen a lot of mixed reviews, but what were we gonna say? Sorry. I was

just

Austin Lugo: gonna say that I saw that David Lynch plays John Ford and I wanna see the movie just for that, just for that reason, for no other reason, . Cause that sounds awesome. I

Andrew Harp: wonder, I've heard, uh, I heard the Steven spiel when we did ours, John Ford, uh, when we talked about, uh, My darling comment on, I did see like, um, that, uh, Boish documentary where, uh, Steven Spielberg tells a story about meeting John Ford.

I wonder if it's the same thing that happens. Oh, probably, yeah. It's probably the same story and he puts it in there. I'm, I'm gonna go see Felman. Honestly, it's probably a good movie. Like, I

Austin Lugo: mean, it's Spielberg. It's not gonna be bad.

Andrew Harp: It's, I don't think it's gonna be bad either. I think it's gonna be interesting and good and nice and probably pretty sad cuz you know, he is all bent outta shape.

About his parents and, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna peep it.

Austin Lugo: I'll see in theaters, you know, I used to not be a Spielberg fan, but I've, I've grown to really like Spielberg,

Andrew Harp: so he's got so many movies. It's like, I don't know, it's kind of hard. You haven't even seen Jurassic Park

Austin Lugo: yet? I don't think.

Still haven't seen Jurassic Park. It's, it's always on the list.

Andrew Harp: I, you should just not see it. You should just go your whole life. Never seeing it. I just think that would be funny if you just never saw it.

Austin Lugo: I mean, honestly, at this point, it, it, that might be the case.

Andrew Harp: Well, there's still some, some, some, I haven't seen, like, I still haven't seen Schindler's List.

Like, like that's the one big spiel work I still haven't seen yet.

Austin Lugo: Yeah, I know people love Shin's List and you know, we've talked about it a bit before. Personally, I think they kind of like, there's always the problem of like making a Holocaust movie and that whole thing, but then also like, I don't think it'd be nearly as celebrated as if it wasn't a Holocaust film.

I think it's not bad at all.

Andrew Harp: Yeah, it's probably suitable.

Austin Lugo: I'd honestly, I'd rather watch like catch me

Andrew Harp: if you can. Yeah. Honestly, you're right. Like honestly, people can talk about how Grace, there's this all they want, but at the end, end of the day, people wanna see Jurassic Park Jaws Catch me if you can.

The first Indiana Jones movie. Like that's just how it is.

Austin Lugo: Yeah. Jus is great. Indiana Jones is good.

Andrew Harp: The only other thing I watched is I watch a really funny movie called Man on a Ledge, which sucked. That was a funny movie.

Austin Lugo: Ok. Funny. Like purposely funny or funny because it was. Wait, sorry, one second. Well, you do your thing.

I'm gonna read the synopsis for Man on a Ledge. You can only push an innocent man. So far. An ex cop turned con friends to jump to his death from a Manhattan hotel rooftop. The N Y P D dispatch, a female police psychologist to talk him down. However, unbeknownst to the police on the scene, the suicide attempt is a cover for the biggest diamond heist ever Polled.

Andrew Harp: Sorry. My headphones died, I think. Or like what happens, happened with them. Um, I don't know. Anyway, I watch, man Ledges a really funny movie. You should watch it. It's really bad. It looks bad. It's just like a really badly made, like heist. Well, like a, just like a really badly male inside man type movie.

Sucks.

Austin Lugo: Sky's only made three films. Oscar left and it looks like he made 'em all back to back. I know nothing about this film. And apparently letter boxed knows almost nothing about this filmmaker. It's a famous movie. How

Andrew Harp: did you find this film, man? On a Ledge. It has like 40,000 people that watched it have un letter boxed.

Like, it's not like a, like an obscure movie. It has like stars in it.

Austin Lugo: Yeah. But like how did you decide to watch this movie? Like what

Andrew Harp: was the, I don't know. I was just on Netflix and I was just like, I wanna watch something. Yeah. It wasn't, it wasn't a good movie. It was just like a really like not good movie.

That's really funny. One good movie. I will say that I watched that. That's kind of similar Cellular, which. Is a movie directed by this guy named David Ellis, who actually directed the final destination to and four. He also directed this movie called Cellular, which, um, the story was, uh, written by, uh, one of my favorite, uh, the, the reason why I watch It's, the story was created by one of my favorite film writers, uh, Larry Cohen, uh, show who, whose films we featured on a show, of course.

And yeah, 2004, very 2004 movie starring Chris Evans. Jason STAs in it. He's the antagonist. William h Macy is in it. He's good. It's just like a really fun, kind of high octane movie with a nice concept that I think wraps around really fun and it's a little vulgar and I recommend, I do recommend that movie was a good movie.

There's not a ton to say about it except that it's just like kind of a nice 90 minute, 2004 kind of action thriller movie with, you know, dirtbag humor. It's.

Austin Lugo: Black Caesar was incredible, so I would love to see some more writing by Larry, Larry Cohen. I will

Andrew Harp: say that it says nothing like Black Caesar .

Austin Lugo: Well, yeah, I kind of figured

Andrew Harp: it's the screenplay actually isn't by him.

The stories by him. So in letter box it says he's a writer, but when you look at the credit, the credits on cellular, it says story by, and the screenplay is by some guy who writes for all the fashion furious movies. So, but it's suitable. I think the, I think the, the concept is good. It's good, but that's pretty much it in terms of my movie watching lately.

Like I said, I'm gonna try to pick it back.

Austin Lugo: Yeah, same. I've only watched three movies this month. No, four. I've watched four movies this month. The one we just talked about found this Nation Hotel Sylvania two, which I watched with my little sister and, uh, ban, she's an instrument. But that's it. I mean, I need to, I need to get back on my game.

I need to get back into this shit. But the movie theater, the sound system's being put up this weekend, so come Monday. I mean, all the chairs are set up come Monday, like, we'll officially like be able to watch movies in there. So I'm ex I'm excited, pumped. It's gonna good.

Andrew Harp: Did you watch, uh, Jurassic Park?

Austin Lugo: What should that be? The first movie I, I watched in the theater? I don't know.

Andrew Harp: Just put on something you like, I

Austin Lugo: guess I turned on the Shining the other day, but we didn't, there was no sound, but still it looks good, so I don't. I mean, obviously the first film we're gonna play at the theater is Playtime.

Right? Which I think, you know, I think it's the perfect choice for a first film. I mean, you can't, you can't get better than Dr. T. So,

Andrew Harp: podcast episode, we did .

Austin Lugo: Yeah, you'll listen to it. ? Nope. Well, I think that's pretty much it then. Yep. All right y'all then, uh, until we meet again.

Andrew Harp: Cool.

Austin Lugo: Thank you.
