273: Out on the Street

Reporting to you from a bush. He's not kidding, folks. Movie Meltdown. Movie Meltdown. Oh, man.

Get out the DVD player. This is Michael Winslow from Belize Academy 1 through Infinity. And Space Paws at Malbrooks. Movie Meltdown. Movie Meltdown.

The following feature has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. It is intended for mature audiences and parental discretion is advised. It's showtime, folks. Enjoy the show. Our nuclear reactor pumping out one million kilowatts of power.

What's up and welcome to Movie Meltdown. I'm Brian. I'm Ken. I'm Christian. And we are coming to you live via digital.

Recording from the street? Yeah, corner of. Bush and sidewalk we are loitering around and decided what better a place to hang out and talk movies than out here on the sidewalk many a time on movie meltdown have we done it in weird and unusual places i was talking about podcasting by the way and this is no exception so we've decided to loiter around on the street until we get run off by the cops and talk about movies yeah So we're glad to have Ken with us. You've been on somewhat recently. Yeah, back for the Horror Hound convention stuff in March, right?

I believe so. A few months ago. So you're roped back into it now. Yeah, this is awesome. Thank you again.

And Christian just can't escape. Much as you may try. So with that, let's play Geek Activities. What have you seen. Lately, Ken?

Well, let's see. The last one I saw was the new X-Men. Days of Future Past. I just went and saw that yesterday. Oh, okay.

So we can go there. Are you okay with that? I am. Have other parties not seen it? Would you like to go stand over by that tree and go la la la?

Go call that cat. Yeah, go talk to the cat for a minute. That cat is too good for the show. Are you okay if we spoil it? Yeah, go for it.

Okay. I mean, we can do non-spoiler, and then you can wind her away for a minute while we spoil. It. I just don't want to ruin it for her. I mean, there's not totally a ton.

There kind of is, but. We can talk about other stuff. I saw Hell Up in Harlem. Have you seen that? I'm familiar with the trailer.

Okay, yeah, sure. I've been working through a lot more Blaxploitation trailers lately. Oh, awesome, yeah. We work many of those in the old music episodes. Oh, right.

Okay. Blaxploitation appreciation. Those are the greatest. I'm a big fan of Black Caesar, Fred Williamson, Larry Cohen. Yeah.

And then this is the sequel where it just goes off the rails. As opposed to most, you know, well. Oh, yeah. No, we thought this one out. Really?

Yeah. Well-maintenanced blaxploitation films. Really keep a tight operation going. It does have a really awesome scuba diving, like, attack from the beach that it's supposed to be. It's supposed to be Florida, but it looks like Chicago.

And it looks like they are miserable because it's overcast and everybody looks like they're freezing. And it's just hilarious. But Fred Williamson is always awesome. And it's got Julius Harris, who is one of my favorite, like, He just shows up, you know, a lot of stuff. He's probably best known as Teehee, the guy with the claw hand in Live and Let Die.

Nice. Yeah. And he plays Fred Williamson's dad. So he's Caesar's dad, whoever that guy, whatever the name of that is. But he's pretty awesome.

Yeah, it's not a good movie. You know, I mean, flat out, I'll tell you, it's not a good movie. But it's fun, just like most of the genre is fun, you know. Since you're kind of visiting this town, are you familiar with Sheba Baby? I know of it.

I've not seen it. Was that filmed here? It was filmed here. Oh, yeah. Those are authentic street noises, folks.

That's a truck. Yeah. He's backing up. He's either moving or just getting ready for a barbecue because there's a couch in there and a grill. Nice.

It's not a barbecue without a couch. Yeah. But, yeah, this is the home of a couple of those... William Girdler Classics. That one, I think another one that sort of falls in, there was like a zebra killer that was shot here.

Yeah, he did several weird, he did a lot of weird movies here, but yeah, he did several that fall under the Blaxploitation section of the video store. I had no idea, man. Because in Indianapolis, where I'm from, I don't think we've, well, okay, we've had a few movies, but nothing like that. Nothing cool like we did. I'd rather have a Shiba baby than Hoosiers.

That's just me. They're breaking away for that matter. Did they even shoot Hoosiers then? Part of it, yeah. I think.

Maybe most of it. Nah, I don't know. What else have I seen? Sure. Let's see.

Godzilla. Which just, I believe I mentioned it last week, but yeah, we're planning a special episode. So give us about a week or so and we'll be back with a full Godzilla discussion. Probably more than you guys want. And it may or may not have a special guest.

Or two. We'll see who we can rope into it. So we'll skip Godzilla for now. Let's see. Last thing I saw was Spider-Man.

Two? Two. Was it amazing? It was not amazing. No.

And it made me so glad that I didn't pay money to see it. And then I kind of snuck in the theater. But, like, oddly enough, I stayed to watch the ending. And I thought it was getting ready to end about three times. And then it kept going.

And then, you know, I really regretted my decision for staying. But then I was like, well, maybe I'll be able to get better. And it just never did. So. never did. Yeah where do you place the blame because i have my theory but i haven't even seen it so.

I mean i don't know i think it was all just kind of it could have been so much better but spoiler. Alert sure throw it out there um. Emma stone's character i can't remember her name right now because i just didn't care. Anymore that would be gwen stacy. Yeah gwen stacy when she died i didn't care Didn't care.

What? Didn't care. I was just like, okay, well, that happened. Whoops. Okay, see, now we're not cool.

Because that's the only part of that whole franchise I could give a rat's ass about. Yeah, Emma Stone. Emma Stone is awesome. I know. And so then after that, it was just a shitty movie.

It was a shitty movie that just got shittier. I'm not thrilled with the whole goings on there. But the only thing that was good was Emma Stone. Wow. Yeah, I mean, you know, I may... receive public ridicule for this, but I was pretty okay with Tobey Maguire.

I've said that many a time now. Yeah, Tobey Maguire is a good Spider-Man. This other weirdo, he can... He can go back to where he came from. He's kind of...

I don't know. I don't know Andrew Garfield personally. I don't know what he's like. Well, I mean, the few times that we've hung out... He kind of comes across as a dick.

And it's like Spider-Man should never be a dick. Extreme. Well, and that's just in the real world for me. He seems like a dick. Yeah, he just.

But he brings that to Peter Parker. And I'm like, Peter Parker, as a normal guy, as Peter Parker, is pretty, like, understated and totally, like, stays out of everybody's business. Yeah, he's... Like, that's the thing. He's just... loiters in the background and takes photos and then when he becomes Spider-Man he kind of talks smack and he gets a little more attitude because he's got superpowers and like you know he can hide behind the mask so he can say whatever he wants.

Well and correct me if I'm wrong I don't even remember seeing a camera like around his neck. Maybe one time. No they've never put that in the movie. Yeah. In this batch of films that There's been no Daily Bugle in there, so there's been no.

Yeah, I just didn't care for it. Which maybe they haven't gotten to. They did start a little earlier, so is he still supposed to end up... Because now they're bringing in the whole. Yeah, Sinister Six thing with the.

Yeah, and then he's moving on to the new... Girl, what's your face? Mary Jane. And see, that's the thing, too. I'll save you, Mary Jane.

You know, I've never been a comic book nerd. And so, like, you know, just going into these dry, a lot of times it's like, it should be able to function as a standalone movie without having, you know, knowing the whole story behind everything. It should. They don't always. You know, yeah.

And I don't feel like this one, well, this, you know, particular new batch, I don't feel like it did, you know, because I didn't necessarily know what was going on. Which, I mean, again, you know, not a comic book nerd, but. What did you think of the relationship stuff? Like, as far as what? Like, just, you know, the way it was shot, the way it was, you know, the banner between Pete and Gwen, did you think that was, you know, decent?

Because that's what that guy. I feel like it was really strange. Mark Webb did the first. Did he come back and do the second? I thought he did.

Yeah. That's kind of his wheelhouse. That's what he wanted to focus on, as I remember him talking when he first started making that first one, is he wanted to get into more of the personal story and, like, not as much superhero stuff, which is, to me, it seems just like bad version of the other ones and it focuses just as much on bad cg swinging around the city but but yeah he was supposedly going to make it more of a personal story or well and that's what. I'm saying because there was never it never tugged on the heartstrings you know when yeah because it was like it seemed too forced it wasn't natural you know i i never saw that natural chemistry with Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, you know, there's just, it's just not there for me.

Which is, it's funny because they're an item, I guess, in real life. Yeah, I know, which is still strange. It makes you wonder, what is that? It seems strange in real life, you know? It's true too, yeah.

What does that say about their relationship? Well, you know. Emma Stone will come to her senses soon? Maybe. Hopefully.

She can get a hold of me if she wants. Just saying. Do you have a hotline? Yeah, actually. Anyway.

Yeah, you know, it's a mixed bag if there ever was one. I mean, they haven't, I really didn't care for the first one that much. It had its moments, but it does have like one of the best Stan Lee cameos. It's in the library thing, but the ending was so God bless America, that was just ridiculous. And then the second one, you know, it really comes down to Jamie Foxx for me.

I'm like, who is this? You know, I'm not that, you know, I know, like, you know, race was an issue when they did the casting. Like, how dare you? Elektra's a white guy. You know, it's like, whatever.

You know, I don't mind that at all. But I just mind the nutty professor way of playing this character that I'm like, there's no menace, you know? I mean, even when, you know, he does flip the script and becomes evil, it's just, it's so hacky. Well, yeah, and that's what I didn't quite understand. I was like, wait, what now?

Just because, what? Like, I didn't understand like where all of that was coming from. It just, it didn't, it didn't seem cohesive to me. It was just like, all of a sudden he's a bad guy, you know, and these, these things happen to him and no, he's a bad guy. Yeah.

And if we want to get into the race issue, they were going to have problems. They should have shut up at the Donald Glover idea. Cause that would have been great casting. Like it really would have been. And like, he could have pulled it off where I don't think Andrew Garfield is like, I think he would have brought not just something new to it, but like, a real sense of like humanity that like that really comes through with Donald Glover stuff.

So again, they kind of missed the boat on that one. Cause now, you know, by the time they get around to doing a reboot again, he's going to be too old. So they miss, they miss their chance to do something really interesting with it. That's a good point. I like the use of the word humanity because that's exactly what this movie is missing.

There are moments where you, you know, you know, you're telegraphed into, you know, Oh, I should feel emotion at this point, you know, But it's really just going through the motions, I think. And it's so funny because, you know, I've seen Cap, the Winter Soldier, Captain America Winter Soldier. Yeah. I saw it four times in a movie theater. Because it's awesome.

Because it's awesome. It's so good. I don't have anything bad to say about it. No, no. I just, I think it's just, you know.

And I think that was part of the problem with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 because we decided to double feature it. But we saw Captain America first. And I don't think Spider-Man 2 would have been so bad had I not preceded it with Captain America. And then I was just like, well, this sucks. Whereas I had nothing bad to say about Captain America.

It's like I have nothing good to say about Spider-Man. And I couldn't help but compare the two to each other. So it makes me wonder. It would be nice when they released Cap on Winter Soldier on Blu-ray that they would package it with a copy of Three Days of the Condor and Parallax View. So, A, more people would know about those movies and, like, fall in love with them like so many of us have.

And B, just because, well, okay, see A, I guess, because they're just freaking awesome. Right. I, you know, I just, I really, you know, and that was a guy too, you know, when they talk about casting, I wasn't a big fan of the guy playing Cap. I can't think now what his name is. Evans.

Evans, yeah. Chris Evans. Yeah, Chris Evans. I wasn't a real big fan of his going in. I honestly wanted Paul Walker, which, you know, truthfully, you know, the acting.

Now I don't know what to think about that. Yeah. But it's one of those, I think I was, like early on I'd seen, Chris Evans do other stuff and I liked him in those and then when he started getting more of the like Fantastic Four kind of roles when they were putting him in that category it seemed like a lot of his stuff started to suffer and it wasn't until right around that time he started kind of coming back and like that first Captain America like you can see like he's he's actually a good actor and they're giving him something good to do so it's I don't know that that definitely brought him back around and what I've seen of him in the real world, like he seems pretty cool. Yeah. It seems like he's pretty, you know, well invested in what this is and what it's trying to say.

So I think, I think it's important too, that like, especially with that character, cause that's such a weird character to try to create now. Like it's something that was so based in like war, war two, literally like when it was created, like the idea and the ideals of what captain America is, is like, not the same and can't be the same so trying to take that character and jam him into this modern day and this weird way that we run our government now and the way that everybody's kind of doing shady underhanded things and that's just how we operate and it's like having this boy scout in the middle of that is is really interesting i think. So it's a nice um you know like you know great movies you know often be a parallel to events in reality whether they're a sci-fi film or a film noir, you know, whatever Westerns, whatever, but you know, it's kind of, it's, it's really neat that, you know, watching that and, you know, going, okay, yeah, they're talking about Edward Snowden and, and all that stuff.

And, you know, regardless of where you feel personally about those issues, you know, it's just, it's a, it's a fun story. Yeah. There's explosions and punching and whatever, but there's also a little bit more in there for wanting to dig deep, you know? So it is interesting. And I'm kind of glad they, Brought that one out when they did, and I don't know.

I wonder where they're going to go. Are they going to be able to continue that storyline that was sort of going on as they get into the second Avengers movie? Because it's going to be another year after that, I think, before they get back to do another solo or semi-solo. Because it wasn't really solo in this one either, which, again, is one of the best parts. Absolutely.

Black Widow is awesome. in this again and I'm just like they I see that coming down the line I'm like they have to be planning her own movie oh sure she's again out of these last couple movies like she's just turned into really amazing performances but she's written you know the character itself is written to be really smart and to actually be able to do something with the story that most characters don't let alone female characters in action movies at this point so It's really cool what they're doing with her, and I'm kind of looking forward to seeing her get more. So, yeah, I don't know how that's going to come into play in the second Avengers movie because there's so many people, but he balanced it pretty good the first time.

It'll be really interesting to see if they come out with a movie based solely on her butt because there are even some pretty good butt shots in the Captain America movie, too. That'd be interesting. Under the skin. Black Widow booty. Black Widow booty.

Black Widow's booty. Booty, booty, booty. If you haven't, maybe you should check that one out. Because as big a star as she is, I wasn't sure she was going to bother going down that road outside of a random selfie ever once in a while. I think it's leaked.

But, yeah, she does not mess around on the art house scene. Oh. Yeah, I guess I won't go into it too much because I wrote an entire... Oh, right. He's slobbering over it.

I was told, how did John describe it? It was, I think he did, I think he may have referred to it as drooling on it. Which I can't argue. I was amazed with that movie. And I think it's, again, it's her turning in these terrific performances for somebody that most people probably wrote off because she's a hot chick.

But as time's gone on, you're like, no, she's kind of consistently done really impressive roles and like has gone out of her way to do these weird indie movies from the beginning from her being a teenager so oh that's true she's it's like she's continued to kind of become a better and better actress and you finally get her thrown into you know some really smart movies and this one in particular is just kind of odd and not every going to take to it I've heard a few negative responses to it lately but again I think it's not none of them can be like oh this movie sucks like everything is just like I've got a list of reasons I don't like this movie. It's a polarizing kind of movie. You either are amazed with what they're trying to do or you're like, this doesn't work for me and here's why.

And you're ready to just lay it out there. Again, I prefer those movies. If it's that good that it can upset you that much, that means it's doing something right. Even if it's not something that works for you. it's just the director and the writer, like whoever's is putting that much effort in to make it worthwhile. Absolutely.

If it gets that kind of response out of you. Yeah. You know, I totally agree with that. It's, it's really interesting to see those, you know, kind of actors that do the mainstream stuff and then find ways to, incorporate some off the wall choices. You know, and one for them, one for me.

Yeah, exactly. Right. Yeah. Well, and she's got a ton like the, uh, Lucy, the new, the new Besson movie. I'm just like, I don't know where they're going with that.

It looks, the trailer looks interesting. Yeah. Could be badass. Could be, what the hell is he doing again? He occasionally turns out stuff that is just confusing for everyone.

So I, I'm definitely interested in it. Absolutely. I love the concept of taking something like the professional. Cause I mean, he really, I mean, he strays from that plot quite a bit, but it is like a, you know, and an old friend to him, you. Know, Nikita.

Yeah. Professional. Yeah. But then, you know, like, you know, I was saying to a buddy of mine that it felt like where that's going just made me think of the end of the old Corbin flick, the man with the x-ray eyes. It's like, it's just going so far out, you know?

And you're like, wow, you know, what's an action guy, a guy known for his action movies going to do with this? Cause you know, is it going to be like a matrix thing or is it just going to be like, you know, some crazy, you know, um, art house kind of. The trailer looks like all of the above. Right. Yeah.

You know, absolutely. Which is again, could be, could be interesting. And also going back to Cap, I really liked Anthony Mackie to his Falcon. Yeah. I just, uh, What else has he been in?

He was in Hurt Locker. That was the big thing. Because he was really good. Yeah. Was it an interview?

I think it was on Geek Dad, maybe, or one of these websites. He was interviewed recently, and they were talking about what it was like to play the first black superhero. And, you know, I was like, well, what about Blade? And then, you know, but they were like, you. Know, straight up.

He's not really a superhero. He's a vampire. It's more of a horror franchise gone comic book-y. Yeah. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. And he was just like, he was thrilled. You know, it was, it was neat to be like a role model, you know? And, and, uh, but then he went on in the interview to talk about going back to, to women and playing superheroes that, you know, he was like, yeah, there should be a Wonder Woman movie and it should be really easy to do.

And it should be, Even if it loses money, it should be done. And it's just like hearing an action guy or a guy who's known for these kind of films now coming out and saying that, I just think it's really important. Because, again, Marvel's putting a movie out with Bradley Cooper playing a raccoon. And DC. And it's going to work.

Yeah, Warner Brothers. Yeah, it's going to work. I've seen the new trailer, and I'm just like, damn. Like, again, I'm like, how can they just be nailing it? Especially something that's that weird a tone that it seems like usually when Hollywood gets a hold of those kind of properties, they're just like way off.

They just don't get it. Yeah, right. But again, you give it to James Gunn. You give it to somebody who gets the property, and they're putting together something cool. Absolutely.

Assuming it holds true to the trailer. It looks like it totally understands the type of movie it's making. And I think that's the problem with some of the DC stuff is they don't know what to do with it. Specifically Superman. Yeah, exactly.

It's directed by committee. They overthink everything because they're looking at demographics and test audiences and things like that. And it's like, You know, a Superman movie should be really simple to do. It should. And yet they haven't been able to do one the last two times out.

Right. And all the money they spend, you know. And at least in this one, he punches somebody instead of getting shivved in the back in a real estate deal. But, you know, it's just like, come on, Superman. It's not that hard.

And, you know, not that I'm saying I could do it. I mean, when you're, you know, managing that much money, you know, you've got to listen to those guys or they're just going to kick you out and get somebody they want. Yeah, I feel like... See, I feel like Zack Snyder just doesn't get it. He has his own weird...

And I don't think he's untalented. I think he's actually really... Again, he is an auteur. He has a specific visual style that he wants to do. He has a very specific concept of what he goes into each movie with.

And I feel like he's talented in a way, but he has almost his own weird agenda that comes first. before the movie itself before the idea and it runs through like all of his movies even when he's adapting somebody else's property sometimes it feels like it's more of his stamp than even the original idea so i don't know i feel like that got in the way of the superman movie like he was trying to do so much of what he wants and what he usually tries to cram into his movies that like you kind of lose the whole superman idea and what he is supposed to represent like he seems like he totally misses the concept of what Superman as a concept is supposed to be and has been since they created the comic book.

It was kind of along the same lines as the Captain America thing. It stands for something and has changed very little over the amount of time that Superman's been around. It's like it's still supposed to represent something And he just made a superhero action movie with it. It's like, you're, you're missing, you can do that with any other superhero, just about one of the few that you can't stray too far one way or the other. Like he has to stick to some sort of basic setup and some, you know, rules that, that have been, you know, at play since they started doing the comic book.

Sure. Yeah. And, and, you know, it's, you know, I just, I don't get it. I mean, you know, it's like you got all these Christ allegories in it and it's like, you know, again, I just feel like it should be like the simplest thing to do. And Warner, you can get, you know, Warner Brothers getting caught up, you know, all the drama about casting a woman for, for Wonder Woman, you know, I can't think of the, the, the actress's name, but, um, you know, everybody's got their pick.

It's just, you know, come up with something, come up with something cool and, and, uh, basic, you know, and God help me, another origin story probably. I'm sure. So, Well, that's one of the, I do feel like that's a hard one to make work. Yeah. Only, and I don't, again, not because it's a woman.

Again, we've seen Black Widow kicking ass. I think it's more of the weird powers version. Sometimes the powers just don't transfer to screen. Because I've said that, that's what I think is the huge problem with Green Lantern. I think as a comic book, it's cool.

Even as an animated, you know, watch the cartoons and it's cool. Sure. Trying to watch that three dimensionally with actual humans doing that just looks silly. Like it just, you can't make, and I grew up reading the Green Lantern comics. I like that character, but I'll be the first to be like, it just doesn't look cool on screen.

It looks ridiculous. And then Wonder Woman kind of falls into that sometimes. Like you look back at how, not that, you know, she wasn't super awesome on the TV show, but, but it was pretty silly. It's pretty bad, actually. Yeah, it's like they didn't take themselves real seriously anyway.

And then on top of that, it's just like, how do you make an invisible jet not seem laughable? It's like, how do you. I don't know. When you get into the better version, again, the animated ones do a great job later when they make her more Amazonian and she can fly. She has all these badass powers, which that might up it a little bit.

But if you go with the bullet reflecting bracelets and a lasso and an invisible jet it's hard to make all that cool that all sounds kind of silly and i don't know again it's that is an uphill battle if you ask me it's not that it's a female character it's that she kind of has silly powers at least in the old version but again if if you go with the more badass amazon chick like you know you might be able to pull that. Off i still think like gina carano and i know that you know is another divider too but okay, she may not be the strongest actor in the world, you know, but I didn't mind, um, Haywire, you know, I thought it was pretty good, but, um, she, you know, she's got the physicality down, just give her stuff to hit and, you know, a decent message, you know, to thread through.

And I just, I don't know, uh, you know, kids, you know, I don't know if kids even really pay attention to superhero movies as much as, yeah, you know, but, um, Yeah. Do they, you know, so I just, you know, it's, I think for a girl, especially, you know, in, in, you know, the, you know, this current era that there ought to be somebody that you can kind of look up to. And, and when so much of media is, is interested in just tearing down, you know, or just pigeonholing, you know, and not to get on a soapbox up too late, but, you know, I just feel like, you know, that's, there needs to be some positivity out there. And I think it's a good character to do that with, you know. Just like Cap, you know.

Just like that. I don't know. You know, it's just, yeah. I mean, like Cap and, you know, just, I don't know where I was going to go with that. But all of a sudden, traffic.

Good times, man. This is... Like Cinema Verite, right? This is podcasting verite. It's hanging out on the street.

You like Sean Cassidy and that girl. What was that girl she was in other stuff yeah what was her name didn't. She have like Dallas or.

Came back. Even without JR. God rest his soul. God rest his... God.

Rest his merry soul. Hey, a cat. A cat. Up next, we interview a cat. Hey, cat.

Come here. Here, kitty, kitty. So, what did you think about Godzilla? Godzilla, kitty. Yeah.

And then, you know, again... I don't know if you saw the Flash trailer for the CW show. I heard they're making it. I saw, like, a screenshot of him, I think. They did, like, a 30-second or a minute mini preview, mini trailer for it.

And then he went back and did a five-minute trailer. And I'm like, it's as good as, like, I think the Tobey Maguire Spider-Mans, the one and two. Because it's got the whole, you know... heroic arc vibe, you know, like, you know, uh, what is the, uh, the old, uh, line about responsibility, the, uh, you know, great power. Yeah. It's got that whole vibe to it.

And that's interesting. And I'm like, well, maybe, you know, cause Arrow is doing really well. I don't, I haven't got the chance to watch it yet. It's so weird that that of all characters found it's like found its own, you know, it seems like to me again, reading the comics, like He always, as cool as he was, like, his power versus he always hung out with Green Lantern. I'm like, Green Lantern's damn near, you know, can do anything within reason, within those little guidelines.

Other than that, he's damn near Superman. But, like, he's got an arrow. I always thought it was such a weird counterbalance of, like, hey, I can shoot that thing over there. So it's funny that that, like, to me felt like such a light superhero. again and we sometimes you see like they kind of come through and even the more human ones even looking at the avengers are some of the more useful ones sometimes but it was just interesting that that they paired him up with this like super super superhero But then at the same time that he like spins off on his own and now like on two weird cable shows now, I mean, he almost took over Smallville by the end of that character anyway. Like he brought him in and I think that's what kind of gave them that window to spin it off into not officially spin it off, but definitely somebody sitting behind a desk going, Hey, we can take this guy and make our own show.

There's something interesting. And they, yeah. So it's funny that that character has come through in two different, you know, cable TV shows now. And it's really, kind of found an audience for somebody that I didn't think had one, you know, even if you were going to make a big budget movie kind of thing, I didn't expect the kind of following that he's sort of developed. Yeah.

Maybe it just helps that he's cut and he takes his shirt off a lot. You know, probably. Whatever works for him. Yeah. You know, whatever.

Yeah. But, uh, yeah, no, I just, I really, you know, I just, I really feel like they've whatever, you know, magic they're working on the TV series. They just, they need to transfer that over to the movies. And it's, you know, I mean, I'm a Marvel guy, you know, and I've been that way most of my life. But, you know, it's not like I want DC to fail.

I just want them to be better. See, I used to, as far as reading stuff, I read a lot more DC. And I'm sort of, I mean, I knew of all the Marvel characters. And I probably, like, watched more of the animated stuff. But, like, it was just a handful of comics that I had.

But I had a ton of, like, the Green Lantern stuff and Green Arrow and, like, Even Batman, I was way more into as a comic before, you know, getting into all the Marvel stuff. I think it was mostly the movies that made me go, oh, this is a lot of really good characters and a lot of, and then I think started learning more of the history of like, you know, just what they were doing with them as, as they were, you know, in the comic form, how much they were sort of revolutionizing what was going on in the comic scene. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.

So I kind of wish DC would come through. I kind of wish they would get their act together because Marvel is just schooling. Yeah. And it's funny because DC, like in the 90s, was all about legacy. And you started seeing junior characters take over for main characters.

Maybe that was in the 80s a bit, too. But it was definitely a thing. Legacy was definitely a thing. Yeah. And it's like Marvel is starting to do that now.

In the Cap movie, they reference S.H.I.E.L.D. Starting out of the 50s after Cap is gone, is lost. And then you've got supposedly the new Ant-Man movie, although that's kind of up in the air now too. Yeah, I was going to ask you what your thoughts on that were. I don't understand.

If you want to go that route, I don't understand. I don't know the details yet, I guess. Yeah, I haven't heard much about it. I just heard he... like so much that I read before that is like how much he was so into that idea, wanted to do this movie was again, he doesn't phone anything in. He doesn't know how to make a movie half ass.

Even if you don't like them, they're visually amazing. And he has such style. And on top of that, he weaves in these stories that are so above and beyond what you would expect out of the property that you're getting. He usually takes a very silly like genre and, And then turns it into something a lot smarter than you'd expect. So it would be, yeah, it would be really interesting to see him do that with something as well established as like a comic book character.

Right. But yeah. So for him to walk away, they really must've been screwing him over. Yeah. Or tying his hand so he couldn't do it.

That's what I was thinking was, yeah, probably tying his hand in some way, but it's a shame. I just, you know, going that route, then I'll rethink what I was going to say. But, I was going to say, you've got these guys like Robert Rodriguez and Guillermo del Toro, and there's others. Those are two of my favorites, and they're easy to come up with off the top of my head. But directors that are like, oh yeah, I want to do this, and I want to do that.

And then you hear rumors about stuff, and then nothing ever happens. And it's like, okay, maybe don't tell us. Maybe just, you know, in the mountains of madness, maybe just don't ever say a word. Because in my mind, I'm seeing... What could have been, you know, and I'm watching Prometheus.

Well, somewhere down the line, maybe they'll do a Dune movie for that. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. What could have happened if he could have gotten to make Mountains of Madness? Yeah, in the Mountains of Madness.

Yeah, and that's another one I've seen. I kind of wanted to bring Christian in, too, because I don't want you to be bored. It's not supposed to be all guy talk, but yeah, you're all right. Okay. Okay.

But yeah, I saw Jodorowsky's Dune recently, and that should probably be coming on to VOD or iTunes. Soon, right? I mean, it's not much of a window these days. It's like you get some sort of really small theatrical run in like two weeks, three weeks later, or sometimes before. I mean, a lot of them now, that's the strategy.

That's the rollout is like, it will hit VOD first and then maybe start making a limited, you know, city to city run in some of the bigger cities, which seems like an odd choice, but I think for some of them, it works like for sometimes the word of mouth works the opposite way. Like people watched it on VOD and then tell them like, Oh, I think it's coming here this weekend. So it's an odd way to go about it, but I guess, you know, if it's, if it's the new way, if it's the new way things are going to work, it'll be interesting. But, Yeah, I'm sure it should be coming up pretty soon for everybody. I would highly recommend it.

I mean, in case you don't know the story, Alejandro Jodworski, the guy that did El Topo and Holy Mountain and Santa Sangre and a bunch of other arthouse movies. Tusk. Tusk? Was that one of his? That's the one.

Is that it? I think it is, though. Really? There was a weird one that was, like, almost supposed to be his kid's movie. Oh, really?

Like, it's the most dialed-back, semi-normal one of the bunch from what I've heard. I watched the trailer when we did Santa Sangre, and, like, again, it looks slightly weird, but it looks way toned down for him, which I don't know what to think of with that. Yeah. Yeah. Huh.

Very strange. But, yeah, this is just the, it's about his, you know, it's a what-if story, and it's He is in contact with some producers that want to do a film based on the Frank Herbert novel, Dune. Eventually, it gets made by David Lynch and Dino De Laurentiis. Yeah, this was years before. Years before.

This is early 70s before Star Wars. And it's all about his, in many ways, batshit crazy design concepts. He brings in H.R. Giger. He brings in Salvador Dali.

Which is all amazing. Yeah, he gets Mick Jagger. He's got all this crazy awesome stuff. And it's like he builds this whole concept with everybody interested. Uh-oh, we got a chopper.

We've been spotted. It's going to turn into an Ice Cube video if we're not careful. There's some weirdos down on the street. Get the spotlight. The, uh, um, yeah, but, uh, yeah, it's just, it's, um, you know, about what could have been.

And it's, he gets all these people together, he's got producers and stuff, and then he just couldn't find a distributor. He couldn't find anybody to give him the money that he needed to come up with this. I think he ran into that a lot, if I remember. Yeah, yeah. I mean, trying to make the stuff that he made is damn near impossible anyway, so.

That's just it. One of the interesting things, though, out of it, too, is, um, what kind of spirals out of his defeat becomes pretty much science fiction and fantasy films, you know, from that point on. Yeah, exactly. Star Wars owes a debt, you know, Matrix films owe a debt. Um, everything that's, you know, gone after is, is, uh, owed to the alien, you know, things like that.

But, uh, it's definitely, I would highly recommend it. It's really interesting. You know, some interesting visuals, a great soundtrack, you know, for a documentary. It's, it's really great. And, um, Yeah.

It's just, it's a, if you like, if you're at all creative, like, you know, if you have a creative interest, if you're a writer or an artist or something, you're going to see something here that's inspiring, you know, which is really neat. So, especially in this day of prefab concepts and, and, uh, you know, the grindhouse in the wrong, I'm not talking about the seventies and sixties stuff, but like just the reboot of what it's become. Um, it's a good, it's a good, um, flag waiver for creativity and for artistic expression. So anyway, uh, on that weird artistic expression note, uh, I, I, I just wanted to say something on the Giger thing. Cause I, I'm sure we'll have to come back in art, you know, tribute once we go through everybody of the past year, but I don't know.

That was just such a huge thing for me. I, I, he was probably one of the most influential people as far as just art. Like, I think that was one of those as a kid that that's one of the reasons I latched on to art. Oddly enough, Dolly was another one, but like those weird, surreal, creepy, perverted images. Like, I just remember seeing those and like, they just clamped onto me. my brain.

And like, that's one of the many reasons I'm as weird as I am now, but it's like, so I don't know. It was one of those, it is kind of sad. Like I know he, he, you know, he rarely came to the U S these days and, It's just one of those you kind of would have hoped to run into at one of the shows or something. Right. That would have been their big one.

Because I know we talked to somebody who actually did an interview with him. Oh, wow. I think it was a phone version. But still, the fact that they got to talk to him. I don't know.

I thought that was one of those. It would be cool if at some point he came here for some sort of event. So that was sort of sad that now he's gone. And that we're... kind of going to be deprived of more of his artwork because he continued to work you know he has all these pieces he's well known for from you know a lot of them from the late 60s and early 70s but like he continued to work and keep making weird creepy stuff you know all the way up till the. End absolutely and just you know the sad tragic nature of his death too just falling down a.

Staircase simple as that you know we're. Witnesses right now folks to an attempted parallel parking job This should be interesting background noise. It was a team effort, and actually they were pretty successful. Yeah, I think they might have it. Judges, what do you say?

Probably an 8.5. Yeah. I'd go with a yeah. As long as they don't hit my car. Yeah.

I think you're, well, yeah, you're okay. All right. That's cool. Yeah, also just his impact on film. Like, very few artists have had the impact on film that he did.

You know, he came in with such an original design and changed not just that film series, but I think every other... You know, I mean, nobody had ever conceived of an alien that looked... anything other than like a bug eyed monster or a green guy or, you know what I mean? It's like everything was sort of normal in its own weird way as normal as, you know, extraterrestrials can be. But like, I don't think we would have some of the weird aliens that came after it until you had, you know, Giger's version of the alien. And, And continued with, you know, Species is a much lesser film, but that creature design is awesome.

Oh, sure. It's like you see him come back in and keep working even, I think they even did, didn't he do consultant work on Prometheus? Yes. Yeah. So, I mean, they kept bringing him back, you know, sort of unofficially part of that series.

Officially, unofficially, depending on who you talk to, including viewers. But yeah, I don't know. I just, yeah. I just wanted to mention that. That was just sort of a big thing.

It was kind of sad. Very much so. Yeah. Cause yeah, I mean, you know, an alien with diamond teeth and shoots acid, you know, it's messed up. Yeah.

And I think that's the thing. I wonder how much of a change on that film it had alone. I mean, just how much, how like, up in the air Ridley Scott probably was about this creature until like you had the full on Giger design for it and how much that had to change the way that he shot everything from that point on. And so, I don't know, it had so much impact on that series, obviously, but I think just in on film in general. Yeah.

It could have easily been parasite, you know, one of those alien knockoffs, you know, because, you know, without, you know, it's Giger show it's, you know, it's just the old, you know, this old, I was gonna say this old dark house, Like it's a PBS haunted house story. But yeah, the old dark house, it could just be that. Oh, and they gave up. Parking's hard. Parking is so hard.

This is why you just get fancy new vehicles that do it for you. That's what I'm hoping because I don't like to park either. And it's not like the other side of the street didn't have tons of parking. Seriously. It's not like the car in front of them didn't have a whole space.

Yeah. They just like the challenge. I guess. That's what they do. It's a roving pack of female party goers who just willy-nilly travel to Parallel Park.

Let's go out in Parallel Park! It's a three-day weekend. I've been waiting for this for a long time. I'm so sober. No, guys.

No, guys. We're just going out. We're going to get drunk in Parallel Park. Woo-hoo! I just want to dance.

In Parallel Park. In Parallel Park. Yeah, this is a great place. You should make this an ongoing thing. Can we?

Can we really? Movie Meltdown, man on the street. I can't wait until the episode where you start asking homeless guys and stuff like, what have you seen lately? I considered that this weekend. I've seen my own brain.

No, I don't know. Instead of homeless people, just random Beatle fans. Oh, okay. I really didn't want to talk to random Beatle fans. I was at This was years ago.

I was at a comic book convention in Chicago. And it happened to be... The convention was in a convention center. It was in the Rosemont Convention Center there. Rosemont, Illinois.

But next door... It was the hotel that I was staying at, and they had a Beatles convention going on there. And, you know, I mean, I like the Beatles. You know, not too many people hate the Beatles. I think.

There are a few, but. Probably, yeah. But they're pretty well received. Yeah, right. I would say, most people, you know.

Spoiler, people like them. Yeah. A lot of people. At that thing, there were so many people all trying to sing Beatles songs with acoustic guitars. I felt like Bluto in Animal House, just walking downstairs.

I'm like... smashing guitars left and right like you're welcome seriously go do something better with your life says the comic book and movie guy who loves nothing more than. Just talk comics and movies with friends and we'll sit outside next to a plant and talk exactly comic books and movies that's it that's how we roll. For life oh man yeah it's yeah it's good to be passionate about things I you know I don't know I think a lot about like fandom you know and it's you go to these conventions and, you know, you see these people and we're all in black t-shirts. Hey, that's why I wear gray. I'm different.

You are. It's perfect. You know, it's, it's, it's, it's, you know, we're in our tribe, right? You know, it's, it's, you know, we go to those things and even if, you know, everybody around you is a sweat elemental that just, you know, hasn't been out of their parents' basement in decades. It's still your tribe, you know?

It's still fun on some level. Even to bitch about it is still fun. I mean, we've been doing that earlier. You missed that episode. That was its own episode.

Yeah. Nobody wants to hear that. Nobody wants to hear a bunch of people bitching. I don't know where I was going with that other than, you know, it's fascinating when you see people that are fans of things that you're not a fan of. You know, like whether it's sports or, you know.

I've said that for years, though. I was like, everybody's a geek. You just pick your thing. You're a geek. If you can name, you know, rattle off stats about baseball, you're a sports geek.

Just face it. Like, it's cool. It's fine. Enjoy your sports. I'm just saying, like, it's the same thing.

It's the same thing as me naming off creatures in the cantina. It's like it's the same geek gene in everybody. It's just you pick, you know. Do you like the Westminster dog show? That's your thing, man.

You're a dog geek. It's cool. Have fun with it. That's one of my favorite moments, I guess, so far in this life is that I live in Indianapolis and I go to Gen Con usually every year. And there was one year where down near the convention center in Indy, there's a Steak and Shake right beside the mall downtown.

And it happened to be on a weekend where the Colts, Indianapolis Colts, had a preseason game with the Chicago Bears. So that covers most of Indiana. Yeah, pretty much. You know, northern Indiana. That whole part of the country.

Yeah, exactly. So, excuse me. So I'm standing there in the corner waiting for a friend to come by and we're going to go to dinner. And I'm standing there looking and I'm seeing all these guys in Zubas sweatshirts with, you know, helmets on them and guys wearing helmets and face paint. and et cetera, all walking down to the convention center one way. And I'm seeing a bunch of elves, stormtroopers, superheroes, fairies, you know, furries, you know, all walking towards the convention center.

And it's like this melting pot. And it was like this weird, like, I don't know, like a vanilla sky kind of moment where I'm just like standing in the middle of the street, like going, wow, we are all the same. It'd be cool if as they passed each other, they high-fived. Like it's a little league game. Instead of giving the fish eye.

Hey guys, it's cool. It's cool. Hey, yeah. Your thing's cool. My thing's cool.

It's all right. We're cool. It's all right. And that one rare dwarf that has a football helmet on and be like, yeah, man, you know, I cover all the bases. I'm into both.

It's cool. Yeah, you know. You can straddle the line. I just, you know, that's what I love. I just love it when people are passionate about stuff, you know, because so much of this world is so boring and prefab and, set up to consume and forget, you know, that it's neat when people are excited about anything, you know.

It used to be a rare few. I think we've expanded it in these last few generations. Oh, yeah. It's a pretty wide group of people now. But I still feel like there's people that are very genuine.

It's very ingrained in who you are. And there are other people that just sort of go along with things that become popular. But there's nothing wrong with that. Sure. Cheesy pop stuff.

But there is a different level, I think, for people that are super hardcore. Right. I may or may not resemble that remark. Yeah, no doubt. Sitting on a side street talking about movies at midnight, one o'clock, whatever.

Because we're cool like that. Yeah, that's how we roll. Is there anything else we wanted to cover? You want to cover anything with silent? You have like some kind of words of encouragement to fandom?

Yeah. Yeah. Life plan. Do you have a song that you sing when you're down that is somewhat nerd-related? Yeah, just start busting it out here in the middle of the street in the middle of the night.

Yeah. This is, I mean, seriously, this is like West Side Story right here. Right here. This is Annie. This is, you know.

I don't know about you, but I feel pretty. And witty. And kind of dorky, actually. But whatever. That's a pretty standard operating.

Oh, my God, it's a possum. Oh, seriously? There's nothing more adorable than possums. Hey, possum, so what did you think about the new X-Men movie? What about that new possum superhero they added to the X-Men?

That was crazy, right? Looks like an R.O.J.S. Hey, fellas, I just want to be on the show. So, possum, I like where this character's going. Yeah.

Are you a big Kurosawa fan? I am. Where do you watch these possums? Usually, I. Got Netflix.

It's not on Netflix. I don't know what I'm doing. Seriously, it's late. I'm being stupid. I just like the idea of a movie going possum.

Because they're up at night. I just figure he peeks in the windows. That house around the corner. He hangs in the tree by his tail and looks in the window and just watches movies. What are you doing, guys?

There's a house around the corner that every time I pass by, they have the whole front window. They have a huge picture window. It's always completely open. No curtains. The front door is also standing open.

It's just like an open glass screen door. Open windows. And no matter what time of night, they've got the TV on, which I'm like, I like these guys. That's usually what I'm doing. I'm probably asleep in front of it, but I like that they've constantly got the TV running.

I appreciate that. So I only assume that possum runs over there and peeks in their window, and he's just like. What you guys watching? Hey, are you watching Ikaru? I like Salesman.

This is a good movie. I know his samurai films are way more popular, but I prefer... His human interest stories. That's been the Possum Minute. A new running feature.

Possum on the street take on modern cinema. Possum Minute. Wait till you hear my opinions on Godard. This is going to have to be a running thing. Uh-oh.

You've roped yourself into a running feature now. I welcome the opportunity to speak my mind about any and all things cinematic. Seriously, I don't know. Well, with that, the house across from us here is... They've been wandering around in this way.

Again, their blinds are open. People at home, if I were you, I'd close your blinds and windows and drapes because some creepy podcasters probably across the street from you. I'm just saying. I think I saw Raymond Burr over there hiding a body. But more importantly, they were wandering around in the kitchen over here, but now they've retired to this room over here and the lights are turned out.

So I think it's pretty late. They've wrapped it up. I guess we should wrap it up too. Thank you very much for the opportunity, Brian. This has been great.

I was glad to work you in this week. I think Christian's already gone to sleep until she got creeped out by the possum. I'll protect you. But you are the possum. Dun, dun, dun.

Twist ending. Otherwise, that about does it. We will return next week. Same geek time, same geek feed. Thanks for listening.
