Hey, it's your old pal Slim, and this is 70mm a podcast for film lovers just like you.
Every Monday, I chat about recently watched movies with my close friend and artist, Danny
Haas.
But what's stressing me out the most about squatting is I fall in love with these two guys,
and I'm like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna be pissed if they get kicked out of this house.
That was just like making me angry, and then I was just getting stressed thinking, when's
the shoe gonna drop?
And our close friend and movie insider, Protolexus.
Horse week is coming.
Every month we have a new theme that guides our main discussion later in the show, and
this time it's Proto pendants.
Proto gives us a new theme each week at the start of the show with options, and from there
we choose the movie.
Last week, Danny chose A24, and from the options, he picked the last black man in San Francisco.
And you can use the chapters to skip right to that discussion.
Is A24 the gold standard in cinema?
Is this the best representation of male friendship on screen?
Let's find out together.
All the buzz online this week, everyone's been talking about, threads from Instagram.
The Twitter killer, Twitter's finished quote, it's over.
You want threads yet Proto?
I am on threads.
I may have been day one.
I don't know which day was the first day.
It was like yesterday, I think.
Okay.
Maybe it was a day one thread.
It was yesterday day before it was like fairly recently.
What are they called?
Are we called threaders?
Is it a rethread if you re-stitch?
It's a re-stitch.
But I think you might have had a viral thread on there, like it was like your first thread.
No.
Yeah.
It was all like 50 likes, if I can quote it here on the show.
I mean, you could follow us on threads, thread.
I don't even know if it's plural singular.
Find me on thread.
Gen Z having an emergency summit to determine if threads is cringe, said Proto, on threads.
That's a good one.
Did they make a determination?
Is it cringe?
Can we proceed?
I don't know.
No, you're not sure.
They don't let me into this kind of summit.
You got to be Gen Z.
I don't know.
But they're pretty united, those kids, so I'm assuming they're all lining up.
To conform.
I like threads.
I'm ready to ditch Twitter.
Ditch it.
Right, I'll leave it in the past.
We all want to.
Might not have a choice.
Some say that the choices are already been made for us in certain ways, more ways than
one.
What do you think of threads, Danny?
I haven't opened it since I signed up for it.
Okay.
So is your answer?
I don't, I don't, I don't, it's, I just don't care.
Yeah.
I think I don't care enough.
I have Instagram.
I love Instagram.
So do I.
Just love Instagram.
Do we need more social media in our lives?
That's a great question.
I refuse to answer.
Just a reminder last week was the first episode of our Proto pendence month.
We got sick and tired of Proto, a spiritual advisor on this podcast, movie insider.
I'm trying to come up with a new thing for Proto, some kind of new, new, new name.
I'm, I'm workshopping a few things.
It's about time, I think, for a new one.
Threadspert.
Threads correspondent on the 70 millimeter will come up with something.
But we got sick and tired of his complaints.
We put it to Proto.
You give us some themes for this month and Danny picked from one of those themes.
And that's what became the last black man in San Francisco.
So at the end of this episode, I will choose a movie.
But first Proto has to give me the themes.
And then I will choose the themes, he'll give me the movies and I'll marinate before the
end of the show before I make a decision.
The themes.
Let's go over them once, once more, I'll post them here in the chat.
We have number one, modern bangers, two normal men, three horse week, four.
Laffer die, five LB top, two fifty narrative, six AFI, seven crime lovers, and then eight
mystery all toward director.
We have not yet covered on the show.
Goodness.
No, and I can just say that all of these categories have great picks in them.
Absolutely.
You do not need to fear making a mistake in this moment because there is a movie for you
and every one of these kind of things.
I'm not afraid of making a mistake, these are great themes and I appreciate your effort
putting it together.
You know, I saw some great photoshops in Discord this week.
I think I saw Proto's face photoshop on George Washington's horse, maybe at some point
this week.
So there's a lot happening.
Be sure to join our Discord or Patreon, but I'm down to two of them.
It's between crime lovers and the LB top two fifty narrative.
That's a good one.
Because there's some great movies in that top two fifty, great movies.
And I feel like crime lovers, you probably have selected some kind of dirty New York city
movies, maybe at least one or two in there.
But at the same time, I'm very interested in hearing what you have selected from the
top two fifties.
So, my theme is the letterbox top two fifty narrative.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my.
Yeah.
Hello.
Okay.
Wow.
What do we got?
Lay it on us.
What are my options here?
Okay.
One sec.
Let me just confirm.
Okay.
All right.
So the four movies you get to pick from, number one, the Truman Show.
Oh, which I can't remember the director of that.
I wasn't like, is it like we're Peter Weir?
Is that the direct?
No.
Isn't that Ron Howard?
Wim Wenders.
Wim Wenders.
Wenders.
Mosh points out a newly released on 4K Peter Weir.
Is that accurate?
Look at the.
I was right.
I was right on that.
A movie that I was very excited about doing.
At some point, the life and death of Colonel Blimp.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
This is from 1943, Technicolor, ever heard of it?
Something to consider.
Is there 4K of that?
I don't know, but it looked like dynamite on a Max or whatever I watched on.
Okay.
The third movie, maybe it's time to return to a journey that we were on that I'm
going to mess up the pronunciations.
His cockassons.
That's not right.
His cockassons.
His cockassons.
Real Wingo.
Oh.
Whoa.
Okay.
And finally, for our dear friend, Art, Doss Boot.
Oh my gosh.
Doss Boot.
Doss Boot.
So those are the four movies.
I think there's a little bit of something for everyone in there.
What has had more chances to have his desired movies on a podcast than anyone in the history
of audio?
It's never been done.
Doss Boot not streaming.
I'm just going through this list right now.
Rear Window.
Also not streaming.
Is that real?
Get the heck out of here.
Everyone should probably own that movie, really.
Chris Kelly.
You kidding me?
The blackout showers?
Vava Vum.
Shhh.
Human show.
Peter Weir.
Peter Weir.
It's never failed us.
The life and death of Colonel Blimp.
From I might add, the team that brought us the Red Shoes.
The Technic other team.
The dynamic duo of Emoryk Pressberger and Michael Powell.
And that's streaming on a few places.
Okay.
I got a lot of thinking.
You got to marinate.
I got a lot.
You have a lot of thinking to do.
Yeah.
Great job, Pearl.
Did you saw Asteroid City today?
I saw it today.
Walk us through it.
Early morning viewing.
I had to see it in the theater.
I didn't want to miss this one.
I feel like it's probably not going to last much longer.
And I had an incredible time.
West did not disappoint me.
It's a story that if you saw the trailer,
it's not like the trailer.
I mean, that's kind of vague.
It's just, it's a different story than I expected.
Very, it's a very cool narrative.
It's got, I mean, West is on top of his game,
cinematography-wise in this.
This is a beautiful film.
The color, the performances.
I had a great time watching it.
Just kind of in love with what I was seeing on screen.
He just, he never really disappoints me.
I put in my letter box from view that I think
my favorite West Anderson movie
is the one that I'm currently watching.
Because it just feels like he never really,
he doesn't disappoint me.
I know what I'm getting with West.
And no one tries to copy West.
You know what I mean?
That doesn't feel like 50 different type
of Michael Bay action movies in a summer.
This is like, West Anderson owns his style.
And no one can copy this.
And it's art.
It's cinema.
It's what I want out of a theater experience.
Would you say there's a standout performance
in the film?
I thought Scarlett Johansson was awesome.
Oh, wow.
Really liked her in a hearing right now.
Yeah, Scarlett and she like,
not on your top, 500 list of actresses.
She's not, and it's just,
I don't think I ever have seen her in a role
where I just kind of was like, yes,
but this one felt like yes.
I liked her in this a lot.
Tom Hanks is really rad being in a West Anderson film.
I liked him in this.
Schwartzman is, you know, Schwartzman, a game.
Schwartzman.
Try and think if there's, I mean,
there's everyone's in this.
So it's a lot of fun.
Is there really is?
Michael Sarra in it?
He's not, can you imagine?
I mean, yes, it'd have been a fun one ever to me.
Yeah.
What could have been?
But yeah, this is a fun movie.
I had a great time watching it.
It was a good one.
Okay.
If Michael Sarra was in this,
it would have been a five star from Danny.
Oh, yeah.
I'm waiting, I'm waiting on digital release
for Astrid City, I think.
What about MI3?
You're still in your mission impossible journey.
Did I, I logged that?
I finished it.
I can't remember finishing it.
Yeah, you logged.
What did I say?
What did I say?
What did I say?
What did I say?
What did I say?
You said that you compared it to like the trajectory
of the fast movies, I think.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it really does kind of have that like,
we're only gonna get crazier.
Bigger, bolder,
Toretto jumps from a building in Dubai,
Tom jumps from a building in Dubai.
Okay.
They line up identical.
Three's good.
I don't think I enjoyed it as much as one and two,
but three is a lot of fun.
The best part about three is Philipsy Warhoffman,
just an incredible villain.
He's his performance in that is like scary.
Like he's terrifying in that film.
MI3, I probably said this many times,
so apologies in advance,
but MI3 was one of the HD DVDs that I got
for my Xbox HD DVD player who won my mind
in my apartment way back when.
You see the quality of his picture?
HD will be your forever.
It's wild that this was also JJ Abrams first director,
directing gig.
He's only done pretty big movies.
He never had his chance to do a small debut,
the next Spielberg mission impossible,
two star tracks, super eight,
and then the two Star Wars.
Did you get any of what I had said recently about?
It's very lost-ish.
Oh, yes.
It's pretty crazy how similar it is.
He just, he has his style.
That's really what it is.
And I don't think he fit very well in this.
I don't know.
You don't think JJ fit?
That's a five star movie for me.
Easy.
Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
I feel like a better director would have made a better movie.
Whoa.
Like a Ryan Johnson.
Well, my word.
Ryan Johnson's going to be doing poker
and mystery movies probably the next 20 years.
Yeah, you're right.
It's not going to be an even though it was just fine.
It was just, it was fine.
I really just love Philip and I think he's insane
on that movie.
Mm-hmm.
And he took away Tom's long hair
so I can't forgive JJ for that.
Oh, never forgive.
I have to call out our new patrons
who joined this week, Cody, David Luke,
Dino Neal, Hilary, and Amber all joined at patreon.com slash 70MM
got access to the VHS Village discord
to see all the Proto Horse Photoshop's
for Proto Pendants, Month at Discounts on Danny's Prince
and the Mission Impossible Watchalongs
have been going hard.
I guess fallout just happened.
So everyone's waiting for this week
for dead reckoning part one.
Do you believe?
I believe.
It's a big week.
Big sh**ing week.
Big week.
Proto, you had a big week too.
The big avatar way of water rewatch.
Oh my gosh.
I've been waiting a long time.
Are you fanning yourself?
He just started fanning himself.
He started thinking about it.
He may be fanning myself, maybe swatting a fly.
Yes, I did.
I did get to put the way of water back on.
And you know, there was some talk.
People were fearful, you know?
Would the hype die down watching this in the home?
I don't care to say no.
This movie does not lose any of its luster
when you watch it on the small screen and your home.
I was weeping all over again.
Three or four weeping sessions while watching this.
I love this movie.
And you know, I've read reviews where people say like
stories lame, it's boring, haters, you know,
it's vanilla, whatever.
I just don't see it at all.
I mean, it's, yeah, it's not very inventive story-wise.
But I just think it's so executed so well.
And I just, I just eat it up.
It's, you know, is it three hours long?
It's very long.
But it doesn't feel that way to me at all.
Like I love every scene.
I love every minute of it.
The water stuff is still incredible.
You know, I also watched,
I also watched Infinity War this week.
And then of course, style of destiny.
And just comparing the CGI and those movies
to what's in Avatar, like Avatar,
every single thing is crystal clear.
Like it all looks amazing.
Rather than like speeding things up and them looking muddy,
James Cameron slows it down.
So you can see everything clearly.
It's amazing.
It's just like one of the best looking movies ever.
And I love it.
So five stars.
Pretty cool.
Yeah, but part of,
haven't you heard of Fern Gully?
Don't you know it's the same storyline,
but Pocahontas.
Don't you know that?
I'm the one who's been trepidacious
about rewatching this at home,
but I need to.
I need to make time this weekend.
Yeah.
Shut the lights.
Get myself some beef jerky.
Maybe some peppered farm goldfish.
And have myself a day down there.
Gosh, that sounds amazing.
Yeah, I need you to have this.
What about pneumonia?
Is it pneumonia, right?
Yeah, I made a movie.
Yeah, Disney like canceled this
when it was 75% done and then Netflix eventually got it.
Oh, is that what happened?
Yeah.
Oh, I like that.
75% done and Disney pulled the plug.
I think the first time I heard of this
was a review that came through the letterbox feed.
I had never, I didn't even know this was a thing
being worked on, whatever.
And then yesterday, after dinner,
I was like, let's sit down and watch a movie with the kids.
So I was like, oh, I got one for us.
So we put it on pneumonia.
And it's a cute little story.
I would compare it to,
there was, Netflix had that sea monster movie
that came out.
It might have been called sea monster.
I can't remember what it was called.
So it felt similar to that.
I want to say this was like,
it didn't blow me away.
It's actually kind of interesting,
the world that they created.
It's like medieval themed,
but it's like in the future.
So there's like flying cars.
It's actually like Blade Runner meets like medieval.
What?
Stop.
So there's like nights who have still used swords,
but then they have like crossbows that are laser guns.
Why?
So the world doesn't necessarily make sense.
And it doesn't have to, you know,
it's just kind of like, it's just fun.
And that's why Disney pulled the plug.
Yeah, it was too different from what they're typical.
It was too different from every Pixar movie
being about like two different people
finding common ground for the last three Pixar movies.
So I would definitely,
it's definitely worth throwing on with kids
and having a good time.
But you know, I don't think any more than that.
Calling back to our comic history,
it's from the same creator,
N.D. Stevenson of Lumbergains.
And there's a graphic novel, Nemona.
And he also show Ran Shira in the princesses of power
a couple of years ago.
I remember that.
I think Dirk was watching that
and maybe raped about that a couple of years ago.
Actually, I do wonder now that you say,
and I have no idea.
But the movie, the main character is gay.
And like there's a relationship with like another dude.
In a kid's movie.
So I don't know if that has like any.
Disney waited until 75% of the days.
I mean, I thought it's great.
But it was kind of like,
it was very much like, you know, very clear.
They didn't try to obscure it at all.
So it was kind of like,
oh, this is, I mean, this is great to see,
but it's also a little surprising,
just from Netflix or even if it was Disney.
Every week we give out a free year of letterbox patron
disclaimer.
I'm a letterbox employee.
Tag your reviews, 70 mm pod.
If you want to be included in the pool,
old friend of ours won this week.
J. Well, logged the last black man in San Francisco,
rewatch, the movie equivalent of sleeping in a sun beam.
Whew.
A lot of praise for the last black man in San Francisco.
And those reviews come through.
Congratulations, J. Well.
Congrats.
Do I want to talk about it?
Let me see what I watch.
Please.
Uh, I watch lines for lambs.
I thought you'd bring it up.
Tom Cruise, Robert Redford, the wig.
They call it.
I don't disrespect that.
Everyone's going to yell at me.
Actually, it's not a wig.
Uh, what movie did I see him in that had looked wig-ish?
It was, I think it was a Marvel movie.
It was, yeah.
Civil war in civil war.
I don't know.
It looks like a child wearing a adult suit and wig in that movie.
Someone put like an exploding pin in his pocket or something.
Says, there's some Loki.
I don't want to get to talk about anymore.
But anyway, I watched lines for lambs.
Uh, I've never seen it.
Most people don't even know about this era of Tom.
I'm a big Tom fan for those listening.
I do a Tom Cruise retrospective podcast.
That's why I did it interview with the podcast vampire.
But 2007, so it's right after MI3.
And we talked about it on that episode,
but I didn't realize that like he had a really kind of like tumultuous breakup
with Paramount right before this.
And he and his sister kind of ran United Artists.
And this was the first movie that they had done.
And then Volkrey was right after it, which I believe was Chris McQuarrie's first work
with Tom Cruise.
Oh, okay.
And I thought it wasn't bad.
I gave it three and a half stars lines for lambs.
Goodness.
Merrill Street, Tom Cruise, Robert Redford, Andrew Garfield.
I think it's Andrew Garfield's first movie.
It's a 2.8 on letterbox, though, pretty harsh.
That's not far from Dune.
That's true.
We looked at Dune's score earlier in a separate conversation.
It's only one star separation once.
Danny looking to start something tonight with somebody.
I don't know.
So anyway, lines for lambs, not bad.
We got to watch Volkrey next.
And then we get into, you know, actually, we're still into the, like, the,
what I call it, the weird era of Tom night and day, Tom's weeds.
And eventually he comes back with ghost protocol, two paramount,
all is forgiven enough years had passed from his couch, incident,
and his Scientology videos, but they're like, let's start making some money again.
And all is right with the world.
That was my week.
I think maybe it's time to get into our feature prezo.
The last black man in the sin, Fran Sisko.
This is Danny's pick of the aforementioned themes from last week.
Part of what is this movie?
Jimmy Fales loves the home he grew up in, a Victorian three-story home in the
Philmore District of San Francisco.
He says that it was built by his grandfather in 1946, but in recent years was lost to his family.
Now him and his friend Monty returned to the home daily to help maintain it since the new
residents fall short as caretakers.
But when the home falls vacant, Jimmy and Monty take it as an opportunity to move into the house as their own.
As Jimmy talks to his aunt, father, mother, and childhood friends,
a clearer picture of who he is and where he is from comes into frame.
Monty is struggling to finish a play is inspired by recent events and puts on a performance that he hopes
will show Jimmy that he is more than the home he knows and there is more out there for the last black man in San Francisco.
Just got a new threads follower.
Oh my gosh.
It's got a notification.
It's goodness.
We do have to say right off the bat, Jonathan Majors is a co-star in this movie for those living under a rock.
Jonathan Majors was arrested for assault allegedly choking his girlfriend.
I think that's cleared up now.
However, Rolling Stone put out a story with many people going off the record about Jonathan Majors having a really awful history with a lot of people.
A legit assault behavior, onset behavior, offset behavior.
So I highly recommend people to educate themselves, read some of this stuff to see what is happening behind the scenes of these movies, these big Marvel movies.
Majors is a big part of the Marvel future, maybe not anymore.
So definitely do some reading to see what is happening with Jonathan Majors at all.
So just wanted to say that off the bat.
Obviously we're against domestic violence.
Maybe people would be upset that I didn't say that.
Sure.
That's a little obvious at this point.
Yes.
So, Proto, how did this movie get on your radar to be put on your A24 list when you were putting this together?
Well, I remember when this came out and there was a lot of buzz around it of it being a beautiful picture.
I don't know.
I didn't get a chance to see it, but I don't know if there was like Oscar buzz around this.
So, and that was 2019.
And in that year, that was also like the parasite year.
So, you know, I don't know if it maybe didn't get as much time because it was just like a lot of good movies that year.
And then kind of 2019 passed me by and I didn't see it.
So, I had it on my watch list.
I never forgot about it, but I just had never got around to it.
So, when I was putting this list together, I was like,
I heard great things about this.
It has to go on.
And I mean, that's why I picked it really.
I mean, this has been a movie that I've wanted to watch.
It's A24, so I'm already kind of drawn to their style of films.
And every time I saw like a review come through, it was always either talking about the cinematography
or the performances, the story, a lot of love for this film.
So, I had been really wanting to watch it and I had said for a while to myself,
at least, that if there was ever an opportunity for me to pick that this movie would fit into a theme,
I was definitely going to pick it.
I really wanted to do this film.
I saw the four that was a part of the four that Proto wanted to do for A24 Week.
I knew it was a no-brainer for me to pick this film.
The A24 effect.
Yeah.
I'm affected.
I'm affected.
They get that little poster, that little post it on a poster.
It's coming to A24 Presents.
People lose their minds.
Yeah.
It's like the modern day Beatles when it's a movie studio distributor, wherever they're there.
I watched this for an episode of the Letterbox show.
Maybe last year or the year before, so I didn't have a rating for this as is my tradition
unless it was a five-star at that time.
Oh, gosh.
When did I log this?
May 2022.
Did I watch this?
So, that was my backstory.
I think I remember seeing some stills of this movie at the time, but it wasn't really on my radar in 2019 at all.
So, we'll go around the room, round table style.
Each host shots down three things we want to bring up in our pretty loose discussion,
and then we'll give our Letterboxed rating at the end.
So, Danny chose this one officially from the theme.
What do you want to talk about, Danny?
I would love to talk about, I guess, the friendship between Jimmy and Monty.
I think when I thought about this film, I never saw a trailer.
I thought it was going to be, and it is.
It's gentrification.
It's race-driven a bit.
I wasn't prepared for the conversation about toxic masculinity and the friendship between two males.
And I was kind of in love with that bit of storytelling.
It kind of what I connected to the most in this film.
And I think Jimmy and Jonathan were amazing as two friends coping through their city changing.
I was just shocked at this kind of storytelling.
I loved their interplay with the gang, the local gang guys on the street.
And seeing how toxic masculinity, the toxicity got the guy killed.
Kofi.
I mean, he pushed too hard.
I was shocked by this storytelling.
I wasn't prepared for it.
And I think it's one of, if not my favorite kind of male friendship on screen,
the story's something that I've ever seen.
I think it's really well done.
And it comes from a place of, it definitely comes from a place of love.
And I just was impressed by it.
And the performances were incredible too.
I think what kind of shock me right away was in the beginning when they're skateboarding,
Monty hops on the back of the skateboard and just kind of puts his arms on the shoulders of Jimmy.
And I was just like, oh, this feels like this is like pure friendship.
This is like love for each other.
And I don't know why that scene struck me right away so fast, but it just kind of did.
And I just, I loved it about this film.
Yeah, there's a lot of great, just I would call it like natural storytelling with them,
where the moments with them is kind of just day-to-day life of them together doing things,
traveling around the city, going to the home, working on the home, just hanging out.
And through that, you kind of, that is what shows these little moments of their friendship.
I think the skateboarding scene is great.
Another one I loved was when they were in the house, Jimmy's house,
and they were cleaning and like dusting stuff.
And Jimmy says to him, like, he's like, Monty, you can have a room here too.
And Monty's like, oh, no, I can't do that.
And he's like, no, like, this is your home here too now.
And just like the way Jonathan Majors like, I don't think he responded, but like,
just like he kind of like gave him a nod.
It was just like really great.
And just like the, it felt like these guys were actually friends.
It was really convincing in how they communicated with each other.
Yeah, the scene, like, to the toxic masculinity scene, I mean,
after they find out that their friend was shot, they're having like that argument on the street,
and the one dude is like, it looks like they're about to fight based on how angry they are,
and the one dude, like, right about, like, when you think, oh, is he gonna punch our boy,
and he like starts just crying in his chest, in an amazing scene,
and then towards the end, where Jimmy is like, I gotta leave.
Like, this house thing is all I have.
Like, I can't, and he's like, well, we can go back to my house.
Major says, and he's like, I can't go back there.
And there's like this long shot on Jonathan Majors, and you can just see like this tear,
like, go down his cheek.
Oh my God, that was nuts.
Just an incredible scene.
Yeah, and I like that, like, the Megan posted the shot on the skateboard with,
you know, his hand just resting on Jimmy's shoulder, and you're right.
I honestly didn't even think of that while I was watching it.
It just felt so right in the movie, the relationship,
and they do get like, poked fun at, from their friend on the streets,
about that night, where they spent together.
They're just like hanging out, talking, sauna, you know,
be asking around.
But yeah, that's a great aspect of the movie.
Pro, what's your number one?
My number one, I was surprised how funny this was.
Funny and also lighthearted at the same time.
I mean, there's a good amount of weight to it with Jimmy's,
with his family, like his situation, like you feel, you feel for him,
and this pain that he's going through.
And like, this connection he has with this house.
But it's really so well, I thought offset with just a lot of like these,
like random characters coming into the movie.
There's like, it's just a lot of like, one-off,
just kind of like, locals of San Francisco.
These colorful characters coming in.
And yeah, I found myself like laughing throughout the movie.
And kind of having, yeah, like that lighthearted, uplifting feeling,
while at the same time dealing with, you know, heavier stuff.
I love the one scene.
This was like, it almost felt like a bit,
like this little like skit in the middle where,
I don't even, I don't even remember what the context
or why they were showing this, but they're in the house.
And this guy was trying to buy twizzlers at this table.
And she thinks he wants 60 twizzlers.
And he's like, how am I going to eat 60 twizzlers?
And the girl will be on the counter.
She's like, I don't know your life.
I don't even remember what the context of that scene was.
But there were so many things like that that were so funny.
Also like where he goes to sit at the bus stop
and the nude guy comes along and sits down.
And then there's like this, this trolley car of like,
just like, you know, a tourist come by who are all drunk.
And then they just start yelling, you know, this guy fox.
And it's clearly they're talking about the naked guy.
But it's funny in the context because Jimmy's sitting there as well.
God.
I feel like that, I mean, I've only been to San Francisco once.
And I think I've only been to like,
the bad parts of San Francisco.
I feel like I've probably seen 30 nude men walking down the street.
Oh, sorry.
Really?
Yeah, I feel like there's a normal thing.
Let's see my number one.
I have to talk.
We have to talk about squatting.
I'm so fascinated by the idea of squatting on a property long enough
to eventually own it.
And they talk about like his dad talks about how they squat it.
I think in a warehouse and he paid taxes on it.
And I'm thinking about how what the mechanics of such a statement
that like you're paying taxes on something that you don't actually own.
But you do it long enough to the point where you can say you own it
because you squat it long enough.
It's just so crazy.
I was actually googling some state squatting laws.
Some of them have like really long.
Like you have to be squatting on a property for 30 years
and not have like a week long break at all.
And then the state will grant you ownership of that property.
Some are like seven years and shorter.
But like I always feel like I hear horror stories.
I don't know where I see this.
Maybe it was reddit or somewhere like woman leaves house.
And like someone squats in her house and like loses property.
I don't know if those stories are at all true.
But that's like my backstory of squatting where it like scares me
that like someone will come into my home and just squat there.
And I have no recourse due to like you know 300 year old laws.
So the aspect that Jimmy would in his head just wait
for them to leave the house or he sees an opening.
Like no one is living in the house.
Ownership is in question.
Let's just go in and move in.
And this is like this is how I grew up.
My dad did this.
We did this a bunch moving around.
This is normal.
Like that whole thing just blew my mind kind of like on this rewatch.
Part of have you ever squatted anywhere for ownership?
No, I mean I have like enough stress owning a property and you know
paying a mortgage.
The thought that like you could be investing in a property
and like not have any ownership of it.
Like I don't I don't know how I would live.
But you know I'm you know I imagine people have no other option.
And it's like either I'm on the street or I just try to live in this house.
So that's like the best thing they have going for them.
I was I was reading a couple articles.
And this might have been outdated from like a couple of years ago.
But I think it said that there's like over 10,000 vacant houses in San Francisco.
So I guess it's it's a pretty and there was like over 17,000 homeless people
at the time.
Yeah, like you could see why there's a homeless problem.
That's why I do this gigantic homeless problem.
But don't worry Elon must spend $44 billion.
So we're going to make our way out of this.
I was actually pretty stressed out at the squatting situation in the film.
Yeah, and he like ran away.
He's like trying to get the the power in this name.
Like how do you I don't understand how you can just start paying for power without even a house.
I was like where's the verification?
Where's the verification?
Like what how does this I don't know it doesn't make sense to me.
But what's stressing me out the most about squatting is I fall in love with these two guys.
And I'm like I'm gonna I'm gonna be pissed if they get kicked out of this house.
I was like making me angry.
And then I was just getting stressed thinking when's the shoe going to drop?
Like when are they gonna get beat up by the cops or some other ridiculous, not ridiculous because it happens.
But I was not I was like so stressed in those moments when they're just laying on the floor
enjoying that beautiful home.
I just like I got squatting stresses me out.
That house I mean the house is amazing.
Yeah, they said it was like three million dollar home at some point during the movie.
But I was almost like why are you both leaving the house at the same time?
Have someone stay in the house?
God forbid someone you know knocks on the door just keep it closed.
And then there's the one scene where the previous homeowner is on the stoop.
And she's like they changed the lock.
So she didn't know that they were squatting in the home.
So they just kind of like turned around at Jimmy James the locks.
Yeah.
But yeah, that was just something that was so crazy.
And obviously that ties into the plot.
He says his grandfather built the house.
But there's some questions there and he you know he thinks he has a right to that home.
So that was an integral part to the story.
Number two, I'd love to talk about the cinematography of this film.
When I before coming into it, it feels like it was praised a lot a lot.
And I was kind of shocked that I wasn't falling in love with it.
There was something weird about it that I didn't connect with.
It felt like the outdoor scenes in the beginning I thought something was wrong with my TV.
I was like it's either too bright.
It looks like a soap opera.
We switched from one from canopy and went ahead and rented it on prime thinking it was like the canopy stream.
Really?
Nothing changed.
I wasn't enjoying it.
But when they got inside the house, I thought it was some of the best shots I'd ever seen.
The light coming through the windows.
I mean, I think the house lends itself to be shot quite well anyway.
There's not a bad angle to look at the inside of that house.
But that's when I felt like there was some moments of brilliance when it came to the cinematography of those scenes.
When he's sitting at the organ looking up or even the dust falling on him in those scenes, I was just kind of taking back.
And there's a few moments outside that I loved, like him skateboarding and etc.
But I was kind of, I don't know if you guys had that same experience where it was like,
it felt honestly felt like two different people shooting the film to me.
The outdoor and the indoor felt so disjointed.
It was kind of throwing me off.
Yeah, I don't know what lens is at a new port better than the cinematographer used.
But there was a definite look that I think he was trying to achieve in those outdoor shots.
Where it almost looked that it was like super lit at night.
And like the backdrops looked very strange because when you first see that guy preaching on the stool,
like there's something weird about the vibe and like that they were trying to achieve there.
I love those visuals, like I loved all those visuals.
I love the choices they made for that style, outdoors and indoors obviously.
Yeah, I thought it looked like the iPhone cinematic mode.
Yeah.
Because it looked like the people were popping off the screen more.
Yeah.
Especially when they were at the bus stop sitting there.
And then of course the street preacher.
My theory was that maybe the director or somebody had a background in theater because it kind of reminded me of like a stage performance in the scenes,
especially with the guy standing on the soapbox.
And then them sitting there together at the bus stop waiting for the bus that never comes.
And then also even the crew hanging out on the street.
They kind of, I thought it was almost like a Greek chorus kind of vibe,
which in Greek plays was there was a chorus that would kind of like tell the broader points of the story and communicate it.
But in this movie it's like these five guys who do nothing but argue and fight and you can't make sense of what's going on.
So I felt like there was maybe some kind of like theater things going on with those choices.
I definitely can see that.
So I think that this had a kickstarter at some point that helped drum up some attention that they eventually got funding for the film.
So that makes me wonder of like they kind of like used what they had.
So maybe it would obviously shot digitally.
Yeah.
It's like, I don't want to say red camera because I feel like we trash red cameras on like the Matrix Resurrections recording, which we love.
But those things have a specific look.
I feel like they got the best out of that look in my opinion.
Yeah, the kickstarter was so that they could make the short film to present at Sundance.
And then when they presented at Sundance, I think they got best director and something else.
They were playing B, which would be Brad Pitt's production company picked it up and then they produced it with A24 after that.
The full theatrical.
Do Talbot.
It's the director.
I mean, now, I don't think he did a bad job.
There was just, there's some of the outdoor shots that just bugged me about.
Sounds like you're saying you did a bad job.
No, I would follow Joe.
Pro, number two.
So how about Jonathan Majors?
I think this is actually my first Jonathan Majors performance.
So I don't really have anything to go off of or compare it to.
But I was really impressed with this character and how he was portrayed by him.
You know, he's very different than everyone else in the movie.
You know, he's he's passive.
He's quiet.
He's a writer.
He's an artist.
Well, every, every other guy around him is not that and much different.
And while, you know, confronting them or being in their presence, he's not really, he doesn't really retreat.
He kind of stands his ground and is very, very positive or very confident in who he is.
And there was just like a lot of subtleties about his mannerisms and the way he carried himself.
And like when he did like his acting or when he would impersonate somebody into their voice, I just thought it had a lot of depth and was really impressed with that.
And I know, I know, Slim, you, at least, I'd at least seen Creed III.
So you've seen him and other stuff.
So I'm curious as to what you guys thought of him in this.
I thought he's amazing in this movie.
I'd looked at the first thing I'd seen him in was love, craft, country.
Remember that?
You watched that.
Yeah, I did watch the first season.
Was there only one season?
I think I, maybe I kept it under the vest that I watched it.
Of course you did.
But he's very good in that.
He's great in Creed III.
He's got magazine dreams coming out soon, which is a big release for him.
And honestly, that's like what pisses me off.
And he's in these Marvel movies.
So then the stuff came out about the arrest and everything.
This dude has had, I don't know what's going to happen, but he has literally the world as his oyster in film.
These roles, this guy is going to be the biggest thing in movies and TV, whatever the hell he wants to do.
So I was just kind of like a major downer that all these stories are coming out.
And he turns out that he's allegedly just a total deadbeat.
We'll see.
But he's an amazing actor.
Like the play scene?
Stop.
It's like wild what he's able to do in these moments.
So I'm obviously conflicted.
He's an amazing, he's stunning in this movie.
And then at the same time, it's like, oh God, what the hell?
What's going to happen now?
But yeah, fantastic in this film.
I was literally telling Casey tonight that it pisses me off to know in that I have to talk about how much I love Jonathan in this film with knowing his current state as a human being.
It's just like, it's so frustrating because in this, I could not believe the performance he was giving.
Like it's just an incredible character actor moment.
I mean, I don't know if he was portraying someone on the spectrum or what, but it just felt, it felt so real.
And I couldn't keep my eyes off him for the whole movie.
I just every, every, every like mannerism, him sitting on the curb drawing.
Oh, yeah.
Or just when he walks up to the gang and it's like directing them as if they're a part of his play.
I mean, his confidence, his vulnerability when he's facing Jimmy leaving him.
And in the play at the end, the play at the end was like masterful.
I mean, it's just watching him in those scenes.
You know that this guy could have done anything in film.
I remember I was at Planet Fitness and there was like this.
There's, Alicia said there's so much daytime TV crap.
Does anyone that has cable, you don't even know what's on during the day.
It's bad.
It's real bad.
But I don't know if it was Eleanor, whomever they had like Jonathan majors on and they had like his acting coach call in.
And it was like this big moment like, oh, the success of Jonathan majors.
We got your acting coach to call in and he's like crying having this amazing moment.
And then I was like, I felt like literally the next day like all this stuff came out and like, oh my god.
But yeah, his performance in Creed III is also phenomenal.
He plays like a, you know, the younger friend of Creed who eventually was in prison for years and comes out.
And like Creed takes him under his wing.
You know, he feels like somewhat responsible.
So that whole storyline of them together is amazing in Creed III.
Gosh, the in performance of the play moment in the song really reminded me of Winston Duke's performance in nine days.
Remember his that final scene he had slim in the desert?
Remember nine days?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
God, Winston Duke.
Have you seen that yet, Proto?
No.
I haven't heard Winston Duke's name in a while.
I need Winston back in my life.
Winston call us.
My number two is probably the music.
The score, the soundtrack, whatever the hell you want to call it.
I mean, you get the vibes like right off the bat and the star of the movie.
Everyone has talked about the skateboarding scene to start things.
But everything is perfect musically in this movie.
Oh, yeah.
It's, it's the soundtrack is wild.
The score, the musical decisions.
Who's the composer?
Emil Masseri is, oh my god, the same composer as Menari.
Oh, there you go.
But yeah, just phenomenal.
And Proto was singing it in the uncut episode.
I don't think our live listeners heard it, but Proto started off the uncut recording
with singing one of the San Francisco songs to start.
And even that was just so powerful.
And that's, you know, the guy singing on the street and they eventually add the music to it.
Just wild decisions that all paid off.
I just got the chills thinking about that scene again.
I don't think I've heard that song performed so well in my entire life.
If you're going to San Francisco,
be sure to wear flowers in your head.
If you come to San Francisco,
you're going to meet some gentle people there.
And that was another one of those like visual outdoor kind of close-ups to the character too.
Oh yeah, stunning moment.
Cheers.
Yeah, I was, I was really curious of just like to read thoughts about this movie
and to kind of get like more depth or kind of understanding.
I felt like a little, there isn't too much juice in the movie about like explaining exactly what's going on.
What's the situation with Jimmy and his parents, you know, what are the finer details?
Like what's a Monty's deal?
So I was reading a couple articles, reading some reviews.
And there was a vanity, the vanity fair review brought up the music.
And the writer in there said that they didn't like the music.
Specifically calling out the Joni Mitchell song that played at one point.
It's on blue, which is an amazing song.
Saying that like, I think in that moment that was playing.
And then it was showing like a bunch of like black guys kind of arguing and fighting like throughout the city.
And saying in the article they said like, well, there's a lot of like black music that they could have used in that moment.
So kind of like not liking some of the choices and how like broad of like different songs that were used.
But I actually liked that because I felt like that kind of correlated to the idea that San Francisco is multifaceted.
And even how they say at the end that like people aren't just one thing.
Like all people are multifaceted and there's you can't just know a person from like one perspective.
And there's no way to know like all the different versions of a person.
And I felt like that was communicated through the soundtrack as well, which was really impressive.
Because it was all so good and it like you were saying something.
It was it fits so well in the movie in all those moments.
Danny number three.
Number three.
Gosh, we've covered so much.
I loved one of my favorite moments.
Well, moments plural is was every time Danny glove was on the screen.
I loved the grandpa character.
I loved his relationship with Monty.
Him explaining what was happening on the movie screens, talking him through what was happening and their reactions to the scenes.
I thought were so adorable.
And I thought there was an amazing scene where it was really subtle.
But when Jimmy started to get all consumed with this house and Danny walks through.
He kind of let some walk through without helping him.
He's blind.
He's like trying to walk through past the phone cord, et cetera.
It was like it was just it was a subtle, but it was like, oh Jimmy's starting to kind of be super obsessed with this house.
Right now.
And he's letting like the little things slide.
The man that has been putting a roof over his head.
He's now starting to kind of ignore.
But I thought Danny was incredible in this film.
I always think of, you know, like silly lethal weapon stuff and Danny Glover.
But I liked seeing this kind of lighter side of him.
And him and he's had good chemistry with the guys.
Yeah.
Him and Monty laughed on the couch.
Yeah, it was adorable.
Yeah.
What a great scene.
Yeah.
That, that scene was great.
And then also how like Danny Glover was communicating with Jonathan Majors about like, you know,
he can hear him packing things up and he's like, yeah, what are you, what are you doing?
And he's just like, oh, I'm just kind of getting some stuff together.
But even like that relationship, like what Monty has with the Danny Glover care.
Was it his dad or his grandpa?
I guess his grandpa.
Yeah.
It's just like the complete opposite of what like Jimmy has.
You know, like Jimmy has no one really.
Like his parents really like aren't in his life.
He's all he has is his house.
And then here's Monty who has this father figure who he cares for, of course.
And he's kind of bound to him.
But he has this like this deep love and affection and this great relationship with him.
And they're in this home that is like the opposite of what Jimmy has in this Victorian house.
But even like going to the ending of how like the reasons for Monty staying versus like the reasons for Jimmy leaving.
I thought it was really beautiful.
Yeah.
Part of number three.
Well, yeah, I guess that would be my number three of just like how this movie ended.
I mean, him leaving the note.
Oh my gosh.
Thanks for being my best friend.
Oh God, that was that was beautiful.
And yeah, I mean, what a what a position to be in for Jimmy.
Like he's like literally holding on to like the one thing that he has in his life, which is like this house.
It's like the place he grew up in.
It has like such deep meaning for him.
Like those scenes, even when he's in the house.
Like there's when he's up in the witch hat and he's just like laying on the floor.
He's not going to cigarette like he just that's all he wants.
He just like wants to be there for probably so many reasons and like reasons I that aren't really fully explained.
But it's it's so well expressed in the movie.
And just at that ending of him like making the hardest choice to say I'm going to I'm going to leave this house.
I'm going to leave San Francisco.
I'm going to leave everything that I've known to try to, you know, to find something else, you know, and let it go.
And then even just like that what Monty has, you know, like Monty can't go with him.
You know, he can't leave because he has his grandfather.
So like leaving that note and probably knowing that like he couldn't say goodbye to him face to face.
Yeah, no way.
So that's like why he had to write the note.
I just I thought it was it was beautiful.
Where do you think he's going?
I don't know.
The other side of San Francisco.
I don't know where that bay leads to.
The tenderloin.
They all have goofy meat names, I think.
Broadcut.
There's something.
I don't know.
Yeah, the ending.
I had for some reason in my head the ending of the movie was them on the bus where he overhears the two women in like, you know, the tech startups talking about San Francisco.
And he talks about how you, you know, you don't get to hate something unless you love it.
And I saw in the Wikipedia that that's the same actress from Ghost World that Joe Talbot loved as a teen.
And he there's a scene in Ghost World that takes place on a bus.
And it's allegedly a very, you know, hismit connection to the two films that she appears on a bus at the end of this movie.
In that way.
So it almost kind of makes me want to watch Ghost World finally for the first time.
I was her name.
I didn't say her name because I don't remember it.
I don't know.
The actress from Ghost World.
I thought that was the old lady in the bed.
Maybe Thora Birch.
Thora Birch, yes.
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah.
She's the two with the conversation about, you know, how they ate San Francisco, et cetera.
Yes.
Yeah.
Great.
Yeah.
So what I was all that says, I thought that was the last scene.
So I had forgotten about the note that he left.
I had forgotten about the boat scene at the end.
So very powerful.
My number three squatting music ending.
So I guess that also was my number three.
Let me see if I got all my quotes there.
Yeah.
And him remembering, like the big blow up was in the play, he kind of, you know, they're
talking about like, you know, we're not just one thing.
And he tries to tell Jimmy that like your grandfather didn't build the house.
And he was almost like kind of telling him, that does look like Casey.
Casey just goes to the photo of Thora Birch.
What is going on?
Is that a real photo?
That's a Photoshop photo of Casey D faced on this Thora Birch from Ghost World.
Oh, this is creepy.
So yeah, he like tries to tell Jimmy that
and explain to him that, you know,
your grandfather didn't build this house.
And then Jimmy like remembers that it was that way
the whole time and that was like his way of holding on
to the memory of that house that they did live in,
but they lost the house.
I just find that ending so fascinating
that that's like that's how he mentally held on to the house
and the memories in the house.
And it just became like this mental thing for him
to try to repair the house and want to own it
and want to be there.
So yeah, it was pretty crazy.
Either for you guys have like things from your parents
or your parents like lie to you about something growing up
and then you realize later that it wasn't true.
I'm sure I have a list about a long time.
I think I told this story before,
but I also remember like we used to go to my aunts
and uncles for like every holiday.
We would all go to either like their house or our house
or another aunt and the adults would always play
trivial pursuit like at the end of the night.
Like everyone ate like all the adults like 15
or all the couples.
So like my parents would play aunt and uncle play
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
And then on the drive home one day,
my brother brought up, he's like,
we gotta talk about something.
Oh gosh.
I saw dad cheating and telling mom
when she had a right answer and trivially pursued.
It was it was men versus women.
And my dad and my mom had a system
where when she would say something out loud
as like I guess when they're discussing potential answers,
my dad would give her a signal to tell her
that she was right.
It would be like I guess like a nod or a wink,
but my brother caught it at one point
and it was like this hilarious conversation
that we had one night and everyone knew
or I mean we knew after that point on.
That's the best.
That's great.
Actually, one thing I have that actually
you revealed to me slim.
Oh gosh.
It wasn't really, this isn't like a lie
that my dad told me.
But my dad always, when we were young,
he would say bed time for bonzos.
Oh yeah.
And I always thought that was like something
he came up with and said,
but it's actually a movie.
I think it's Ronald Reagan from like the fifth.
Yeah.
It's a movie called Ben time for bonzo.
And like you said that at one point
and I was like, wait, what?
How do you know that time for bonzos?
And I was, wasn't it because your dad said it too?
Yeah, he always used to say that.
That's crazy.
Time for bonzo.
Sometimes I say stuff to James all the time
and he like, well, now he grins,
but he used to hate it when he was younger
when I used to say what my dad said.
Danny, on a woman's letterbox rating, closing thoughts.
Let me think.
I was gonna bring up the actor,
the guy that played Kofi,
the one that was shot and killed.
Talbert and Jimmy were casting the kids actors
for some of the scenes where the kids were throwing rocks
and stuff.
And they met the Kofi actor.
He was working at the facility there
and they were telling him what they were casting for
and they told the character of Kofi to him.
And he said, oh, that's exactly me.
And he was talking about his story
and he had just, he had served,
he had six years in prison for murder
and it came out that he was framed
by the San Francisco Police Department.
God.
And so they gave him,
I mean, they cast in a row and while filming,
he won his case and settled for $10 million
against the San Francisco Police.
Oh my God.
Wow.
In a wild, that's crazy.
Wow.
Cheesh.
There's that story.
When Jonathan Majors said you exist beyond these walls
in his moment of talking to Jimmy in the play,
I got the chills.
What a moment.
I loved this film.
It was, it was almost exactly what I had hoped
from this movie and wanting to do it
and watch it for the podcast.
I'm glad to finally get around to it.
I connected very much to the friendship
between two guys.
I really loved watching that story play out
between the two of them.
I'm at five stars.
Whoa.
I really loved this film.
I couldn't get enough of it.
Five stars.
Is there some kind of a 20 KC mute app?
Is there some kind of like a 24 release
that you've already scooped on the internet?
I'm looking, there is a nice 4K box that they have
that would go really good with my mid-somar director's cut.
Oh.
It looks nice on a shelf.
It'll be, it'll be on like a birthday wish list.
Wow.
The A24 shelf.
I love this film.
I'm happy to watch it.
I'm glad we did it.
Yeah.
Great selection.
Proto.
Proto pendants does it again.
Jonathan Major's wardrobe in this.
You could pull it off.
I would love to pull it off.
Yeah.
I don't know where you, I think of,
I don't know how anyone affords a wardrobe like that.
Those threads aren't coming cheap.
Right.
Unless they like it.
You gotta look at good.
Those could be those, they tread the line of like
probably being so chic now that they're expensive.
But then also, if you go to the right goodwill,
you could find the same thing.
Love this wardrobe.
I love the scene with his dad when he went to his dad's house
and his dad was like wrapping the CDs.
I thought that performance was great.
The chemistry between Jimmy Fales and his dad was really good.
One of the thing about the ending that I liked was that
when they went to see the real tour,
when Monty went there and said that you can't see the bridge
from the house, which was true.
You know, they listed it as that,
but you couldn't actually see it.
But then the fact that the movie ended with like
Jimmy craving this house and wanting to be there,
but it ended with him on a boat just looking out
over the bridge is a really nice moment.
Man, I love this movie too.
I thought it was gorgeous, like the cinematography.
I loved everything about it.
Like we said, like the soundtrack,
I felt like the story was heavy, but also funny
and like a great story about friendship.
I'm struggling to find any faults with this movie.
I'm not five stars.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
Crypes alive.
How do pendants?
That's less.
Let me see my notes here.
Bring us home, son.
What lenses we use in here?
That was my second note.
I want to find out more about how I filmed this,
the cinematographer.
You never own shit.
Great.
How about those like white nerds on the Segways?
Oh my god, amazing.
So before the black thing, this was all Japanese
until they were rounded into camps.
Gosh.
What did we bow?
The, yeah, him saying he got my own place.
When he's talking to his aunt, got my own place.
I'm like, already starting sweating.
I'm sweating so much.
I was so loud.
Like, come on.
We're playing a dangerous game here.
I bet his dad making those CDs, right?
That was CDs, he was cutting up.
Movies.
Was it movies?
Yeah, bootleg movies.
I think I saw cliffhanger in there.
Do we need to get in the bootleg movie business?
I may.
bootleg DVDs.
Remember getting your first ever CD.
CDR?
CDR.
CDR, you got a CDRW.
CD rewriter.
You could rewrite CDs.
What a time.
This is like me explaining guitar hero.
No Gen Z knows what you're talking about.
Listen, way back when you used to have CD drives.
So when I had my HP Pavilion as a kid, I wanted to get a CDR.
So I could burn my own CDs, music.
And then you can get like a CDRW where you could rewrite CDs
more than once.
And then I eventually got a DVDR.
DVDRW, that thing was shit.
Barely even worked.
You also needed the right drive that would be able to write them.
Yeah.
Which is actually kind of crazy to think that you could have a drive
in your house like at right CDs.
Technology work.
It's probably $1,000 now.
Getting a CDRW to attach to a Macintosh computer.
How about him reading the social media posts in his play?
That was pretty cool.
And playing both characters in that scene?
Yeah, he was nuts.
That was nuts.
I'm in four and a half stars for the last black man
at San Francisco.
Fantastic movie.
What a pick.
What a friggin' pick.
Yeah.
Is Proto-Pen is the greatest idea we've ever had?
Yeah.
We did it, Slum.
We forced his hand.
He can't take that from us.
Megan and Chats has let's do Proto pendants
for the rest of the year.
It's a great idea.
Horse week is coming.
The first bad movie and it's over.
What if, no, let me, I don't want to say that.
That's right.
I want to, I'll roommate on that before I say anything,
probably.
All right, so Proto presented his picks
from the theme that I chose of his,
which was the letterbox, Top 215 narrative feature recap.
The Truman Show.
Okay.
Rear window.
Okay.
Doss boot.
And the life and death of Colonel Blimp.
Just got another Threads follower.
This is so dumb.
Can't wait to six months for now.
No one's these in Threads.
Don't quote me on that.
So it's down to two movies.
Okay.
It's down to the life and death of Colonel Blimp,
our Red Shoes Boys.
Interesting.
And the Truman Show.
Oh my gosh.
Art, bad news, I'm not choosing Doss boot.
But I am very excited about rewatching the Truman Show.
So that is my back.
Oh my gosh.
The Truman Show had a recent 4K release
for those that are so inclined.
I haven't seen the Truman Show.
Oh.
Maybe since DVD release of that movie.
Jim Carrey back on the main show.
I think I've only ever seen it once.
Really?
Was the Truman Show covered in a tape tech adjacent pod?
It feels like it was recently.
Well, let's check the tapes.
But let me read the synopsis for the Truman Show from 1998.
Austin Dangerpod did the Truman Show.
Thank you, Josh.
Truman Burbank is the star of the Truman Show.
The 24-hour-a-day reality TV show
that broadcasts every aspect of his life without his knowledge.
His entire life has been an unending soap opera
for consumption by the rest of the world.
And everyone he knows, including his wife
and his best friend is really an actor,
paid to be part of his life.
Jim Carrey, Laura Lennie, Ed Harris, Paul Gianmati.
He's back.
Paul back on the show.
This is number 246 on the top 250.
So it's just making it in here.
You know another Paul Gianmati movie I wouldn't mind watching
for the show or otherwise?
No.
Sideways.
The wine movie?
I'd never seen it.
I just remember vaguely that movie
having one of my favorite movie quotes
that I have lost forever.
Paul Gianmati Thomas Hayden Church, Virginia Madsen.
Sandra O.
I thought you were just describing
amazing Spider-Man again.
Oh my God.
Danny, how do you feel about that pic, Truman Show?
Oh, I'm very excited for Truman Show.
I think I thought about it a lot while we did Man in the Moon.
So this is gonna be fun.
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
I mean Jim Carrey, we all saw him Jim and Andy.
Jim and Andy, that's what it was.
Would you call it?
I got it at the man in the man.
Let me just say, Truman Show, streaming right now
on Amazon Prime.
Oh, there you go.
Frodo, any closing thoughts?
Any closing thoughts?
I guess I didn't have a closing thought other than,
I had a short, I had a light week for my AFI journey.
I'm not done, I'm not done, I'll be back next week.
I've got a man on the inside.
A conversation out of streaming,
movies available to be streaming,
but I've got a man on the inside.
Oh my gosh.
Local library feeding me DVDs.
Oh my gosh.
We're gonna get this thing done.
Is this legal?
Attack of the Clones Give is this legal?
I cover this with tape deck legal.
It's legal to borrow a DVD.
I forgot to mention I watched Super Bad
and there's a line in there where someone quotes Yoda.
He's like Yoda, Attack of the Clones.
That's what he's referencing.
Yoda voice.
Amazing.
We'll see you right next week.
