Muse

Shall we play a game?

Come on, honey, let's play the match game.

Aw, man. Are the summer games already reaching their denouement? Trying to use cinematic terminology there because we are on the last day. Thank you of the summer games. I'm Luke Burbank. That's my friend Andrew Walsh over there. Wow.

I'm your ingenue, if we're using those types of terms.

Yes, you very much are. Thank you. You're a real Mary Pickford.

Who's Mary Pickford? I know that name.

She was an early ingenue.

Oh, okay.

Doesn't ingenue mean sort of young female starlet who is in a lot of films?

Yeah, I always thought kind of a leading lady. but yeah but I with leading lady with a side dish of sexuality

am I right about that I don't want to put that

maybe that's not maybe the sexuality is maybe I'm I thought it was somebody yeah who's somehow like either being pined after or in a relationship or potentially the kind of a black and you new kind of character

what is it actually you know what an innocent or unsophisticated young woman especially in a play or a film so actually i think mary pickford was playing a slightly more innocent folks but i'm with you i'm wrong i'm very wrong but i've always been wrong but but i have i think i had sort of the same thought i never really knew what ingenue meant or ingenue or whatever that pronounced uh pronouncer just said but i think i assumed there was something a little bit like sexualized about it the kind of young screen vixen if you will and i don't think that's what it meant no actually

quite the opposite, and I see that there's kind of a male version as well, because that's a pretty gendered word, and there's a male version. The Anjahee? The Hesianoo. No, but it's kind of like, it translates to juvenile, sort of. So yeah, it's always kind of a wide-eyed, unsophisticated person. Interesting. We're learning things. Yes, we

are. All because our friend J-Dog suggested this little exercise that we started on yesterday's program called the movie trailer game where you play a movie trailer and see if your friend can figure out what movie it's from I was there was a point yesterday I'm going to give you credit Andrew because I was ready to wrap things up and you said let's just play one more trailer so that we've at least gotten a couple of these things you know checked off the list that was good because we actually only have three trailers each today which I think is probably the perfect amount six trailers total and then I got a couple of extras too that didn't work that I could always just play because they made me laugh or I thought they were interesting for one reason or another. But we wrapped things up yesterday with you playing a trailer for me. I think it was Under Siege starring Steven Seagal. So can I just go ahead and play this trailer and see if you can pick this up? Yes, I'm excited. All right, here we go.

Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam. Do you wake from your finest fantasy? Only to return to your daily nightmare. Is your mother about to look younger than you do? Oh, Brazil.

Whoa. You got it, man. Do you want to hear a little bit more of it? Yeah.

Then it's time to take a stand. To break out of your dough, humdrum life. and into brazil so pleased you can make it right this way

it's about flights of fantasy now i i thought of you and this film well first of all we make references to this movie all the time on the show even though andrew i don't know if i've ever seen this movie really yeah like i would the uh the vhs cover was omnipresent in my childhood it was always up at you know the like you go to a video rental place i would see that very iconic

it's like a guy whose brain is exploding right i can't remember i feel like i remember the font which was like kind of a just google brazil and do an image brazil the film and you'll see

this guy and i i remember looking at that picture endlessly as a kid seeing it on the vhs tape um it was the original exploding unicorn brain oh you know you know what i'm seeing a lot of

is yes i am seeing that now there's another one that there another big image is seems to be um like a human wearing big wings but now that you say it i have seen

this exploding brain one boy the idea of exploding minds whether it's a unicorn or a character in a 1980s movie really um really sticks with you yeah so right so this with you yeah this this cover the

cover that the one where brazil is written in kind of a hot pink neon font and i don't know if that's jonathan price's character or if it's somebody else but basically that whoever's being depicted there and their mind is exploding and all this stuff is coming out that was the cover of the particular VHS tapes that made their way into Seattle yeah and I just I just that picture is very very very indelible in my mind but I don't think I've ever seen Brazil but what I I know it to be from your description a film well what is the movie actually about now that I've seen the trailer I'm kind of intrigued I kind of actually want to watch it well it's been so long and I

only remember bits and pieces and as I'm looking at some of the images here I kind of forgot how bananas it gets but you know it's a sci-fi film that especially kind of targets the absurdity of well it's like they're under an authoritarian government but also it's about the the ridiculousness of I guess what's the word I'm looking for like processes or administration bureaucracy that's the word I'm looking for thank you and that's why it comes up on our show because

when there's something that's bureaucratic but kind of pointless where you're just being told to go stand in that line so that you can then go stand in a different line. You at some point said it's like out of Brazil and then I've just taken that little tidbit and run with it. So I'm constantly like now that movie just means weird pointless bureaucracy silliness watching the trailer though there were some things that jumped out at me one his mom who that was when you're it sounds like your brain immediately connected with it when they're doing Mona from from who's the boss And she gets a name check Like later on in the trailer They're listing all of the actors Also Robert De Niro is in the film Which is, it's just funny to see A version of Robert De Niro That's not Not Travis Bickle Robert De Niro And also not Meet the Fockers Robert De Niro

You just played two De Niros Playing non-De Niro roles Because in the last episode You played Jackie Brown And that's another very un-De Niro-y De Niro role

right like in in in um in this like oh shoot i started this over which was kind of dumb uh because otherwise i could have skipped to the de niro part he's like he seems like he's kind of a jocular fellow in this film and kind of a little bit of a nutcase he's got these glasses on actually let me just play this i'm sure we'll get there um can you fix it no i can't from terry gilliam

director of time bandits jonathan price

you know i think we need to skip forward a little skip back a little bit to hear the De Niro part let me see if i can find it trust me jack and late night shopping

true love you don't trust me trust you trust you the man who hijacks my truck loses me my job has every security man in town looking for me of course i trust you i'm done trying to help Yeah.

And creative plumbing. There's a problem. Can you fix it? No, I can't.

From Terry Gilliam. Okay, so it was a little short. He says, there's your problem. And then he says, can you fix it? He says, no, I can't. But there's just a lightness around this De Niro character, even in that, like, two seconds.

He plays an anti-government rebel, I believe. I think they're called plumbers, but, like, more plumbers in, like, the Nixonian sense, sort of. I think. I think he calls them plumbers. But I think he's working, like, kind of on the wrong side of the law.

But I just, like, I can only think of, like, young, physically imposing De Niro, and then old, I'm going to just basically say two words De Niro. It's interesting to see in between De Niro. So you got it right, my friend. All right.

Brazil. Are you ready for this one? Now, I would— I'm so ready. Well, I won't tell you. I have a theory about this one. Take a listen. Okay.

this is bob howard bob's the greatest pulp writer in the whole world i'm the boss typewriter's the employee no argument

i don't forget faces all women's figures The sweat piece of the forehead is a man's face and his eyes were like burning coal.

Why is it sex deviance? Hey, hell, you be careful with that. That thing is low. I say, the hell was what they say.

I said to myself, Robert Howard, there's a girl who's going to appreciate your moonlight.

I'm in the mood to write a love story.

Hold on. Okay, so you still don't know. Was that Denzel? Nope, we're getting to the key here I know Bob Howard I know that you haven't seen this Well, you know this trailer

Why don't you tell me about your character?

Conan. Conan is the damnedest bastard there ever was. To him, combat's a way of life.

So this is a movie about the guy that wrote Conan the Barbarian?

Yes, do you remember? It's this line that Genevieve and I always say, take a listen just to this line.

Combat's a way of life. It's all he's ever known. All he ever wants to know!

Do you remember? Why did we get on this topic at some point? What's the name of the film?

The name of the film is The Whole Wide World Which even I wouldn't have known That I had to look it up Conan writer movie I've never seen the film But we played this on the show As one of the greatest Worst trailers of all time And that line It's all he knows It's all he wants to know I feel like nary a week goes by That Genevieve Thorpe Don't yell that at each other In some way or another

The whole wide world I'm going to probably just Repeat exactly what I said The first time this came up But it's amazing to me that they made a film about the guy that wrote Conan the Barbarian.

There is so much that is amazing. There's so much that is amazing about that trailer. It looks so bad, Luke. And underneath, so it's a whole, that's Vincent D'Onofrio.

Oh, and it's Vincent D'Onofrio.

Yeah, that's the voice you're hearing. And here are some of the comments underneath. This was the best movie I had ever watched. I had to send away for it because I'm in the UK, Scotland. That was posted one year ago by somebody on YouTube under the name Exploring Biblical End Times. I'm not joking. Somebody with the nom de plume Samwise Gamgee just takes some of the script of the movie and writes it out here, some of the dialogue. I won't read all of that. Dream City two years ago says underrated film, poignant and real. People love this movie. miss la love one two three i've never this is just four months ago this is hot off the prices i've never felt more connected to the characters and then to find out that it is a true story too even better and it makes it that okay i'm on this page now someone called truth seekers

four two two says really cdc you're gonna use your hashtag art on that hashtag gif

Okay, I'll stop reading.

It's fun when I make jokes that are based on the last four hours of our life, even though it's the last four weeks of the TV show. This is now happening four weeks after it's recording.

I mean, there is something about, and I know reading YouTube comments is not the best use of our time. Oh, no, that wasn't, I wasn't trying to subtly tell you that. I mean, I got to say, that looks like the worst trailer and the worst movie I've ever seen but in or the movie I haven't the worst movie I haven't seen but I kind of like that the comments are just from people who love it like you don't need a bunch of me being like what is this shite you know or a bunch of people saying Vincent D'Onofrio is a I don't know was killed by a Clinton I don't even know what sort of conspiracy theory would be on there but I'm kind of glad to see it's just a bunch of people who just like love this movie now chances are I don't want to watch any movies with these people but But it's kind of nice to see a love fest in the comments section.

I can also see, I mean, it's got Renee Zellweiger in it. Remember I couldn't say her name? Well, I still can't, clearly. But there was some point where I was having real trouble with her name.

I don't remember that. But Zellweiger, Renee Zellweiger.

Yeah, I do love her. But she's obviously good at acting. And I think that probably Vincent D'Onofrio is a good actor as well. And so I can see this being the kind of film that my mom would tell me about. because I bet you that if you are watching the film and maybe not steeped in, like, I don't know, Tarantino and Brazil and other things that we've played, not that I'm saying I'm such a sin-ass. In fact, I'm really not. But, like, it's the kind of thing. My mom loves the Waltons. My mom loves Little House on the Prairie. My mom loves things that have pretty easily followed plots and characters, and you kind of know who the good people are, and you kind of know who the bad people are, and you want the good people to win, that sort of stuff really appeals to her. And my guess is this movie just traffics in that. And so if that's the kind of thing that you really enjoy, it's a real heaping helping of it.

Yeah, absolutely. And who am I to take away others' pleasure?

Exactly. Here's another one, Andrew. Actually, you know what? Let's do this. We're about almost 15 minutes in. Let's take our first little break, and then we'll come back, and we'll round out the last three here, or at least the last three that I have. coming up in a moment on tbtl it's so funny to me andrew you were saying oh let's play the hooray for hollywood music during the break because you were saying like oh you kind of missed that when we used to do those oscar shows yeah tom tangney and we'd be making food related to it

It's funny because I know you're not the biggest Oscars head. And I actually learned that I wasn't either once Jen, who went on her merry way. I was like, oh, that was 100% Jen, like, you know, hoisting the show up onto her back and carrying it to a fun Oscars. We used to play this basically underneath these kind of long, fairly elaborate shows that we would do about the Oscars. And we would bake food or make food that was related to the different movies and stuff. That was really fun.

It's a testament to you and Jen and Tom Tangney and what a good show TBTL was. I'm not saying was to make a joke about it now. I just mean when I was not a part of it and I was a listener. And it was a very different show then. Yeah, no, I wasn't interested in the actual Oscars or the ceremony or who won. But I could listen to you and Jen and Tangney talk about movies with this music underneath it for days on end and probably never get sick of it.

Yeah. So a little blast from the past for folks.

I am winning, by the way, because you didn't get A Whole Wide World, which, you know, maybe that's my fault for getting too difficult in there. But I do have three right. You have two right and one wrong. So that's kind of embarrassing for you.

I'd like to point out that I spent a lot of time picking films that you had heard of. Yeah. You're throwing me some D'Onofrio with his co-lead. I can't even say her name, Renee Zellweger, who, what?

Zellweger.

Okay, so let's see. I guess it's my turn.

Yeah, it's your turn.

I am losing two to three, but hopefully you'll get this wrong, and then we'll pull even. Is that how that works? Yes. I don't know. No. All right. Yes. Yeah, well, yeah. Here we go. Take a listen to this.

Across the sea of stars lies another world, a world almost exactly like ours. This is where he lives He's 27 years old Single, but searching Favorite sports, windsurfing and Aikido Favorite pastimes, cigars

What's that?

I just said, what? He has everything Except fulfillment And then one night, it happens

Now I have to pause it there Because it'll start to reveal itself But what do you think based on that intro?

Oh, oh Is it Howard the Duck

Wow Andrew

Not only are you not losing you're pulling ahead I saw that movie once When I was a kid but for some reason I was getting like Short circuit vibes from it but I'm like No I don't think that short circuit What's his name number one or whatever that robot Johnny five that's what I said If you go back to the tape which I'm about to edit Minus half a point I'm pulling closer but I was like I know That the robot wouldn't have smoked cigars At least not until he got human Humanified And for some reason The ducks I don't know the plot of that movie But I was just picturing cigars And for some reason I just had a feeling it wasn't Good job Oh man

I also thought you might get it Let me play a little more of this for you

Hey good buddy Are you home?

He has a very sudden Midlife crisis He lands In Cleveland What?

By the way I didn't remember that You'll be hearing that On the show my friend I didn't know that was part of any of this

I don't know why you were sent to me

Listen to me, small visitor I can explain how you got here

Maybe you're here for some greater purpose Some cosmic cause

I believe that's Leia Thompson Oh, that makes sense Here, he's forced to reassess his career goals

I gotta watch this To explore new relationships To redefine his self-image I'm sorry, we don't allow pets on the premises to adjust to a changing lifestyle. He still doesn't say anything. Just who he really is. Right. A duck in big trouble. There it is, a duck in big trouble. That's a duck, man. Howard the Duck, trapped in a world he never made. I'm watching that this weekend. Coming from George Lucas, a Willard Hike film, a Gloria Katz production. By the way, George Lucas. I didn't know that.

Me neither. He was in that puppetry.

But what I know about Howard the Duck from being a kid was, oh, that was a big flop. That's all I knew about Howard the Duck. In fact, to this day, did you hear the reason that I said it starts to reveal itself is because someone's singing a song called Howard the Duck. Oh, I didn't even notice that. Which sounds for all the world like the B-52s. Oh, I didn't even. Do you think? I'm wondering if they got.

I don't think it was. I mean, I'd be. I could be wrong about this. I'm not saying I know everything about the B-52s, but given the intense B-52s phases I went through not that long historically after this movie was out.

That long.

I feel like I know that they did, for example, the Flintstones. You know, they did the Flintstones movie theme song. I believe, or maybe the sequel.

Are you looking up Howard the Duck theme song? No, but I'm just fascinated by the Howard the Duck Wikipedia page. So it's a 1986 American science fiction comedy, and the screenplay was originally intended to be an animated film. Okay, who is this doing this song?

It's performed by Dolby's Cube featuring Cherry Bomb with Leia Thompson on lead vocals and George Clinton and Joe Walsh.

Strong, let's get crazy vibes.

Yes, you're right. Song of the Summer, indeed.

Wow, so that's Leia Thompson singing. That's the mom from Back to the Future singing and also the love interest from Some Kind of Wonderful. I don't need to read Lea Thompson's CV, but this is interesting. It was supposed to be an animated film, but it became live action because of contractual obligations, which I think was part of why, like, initially it was considered to be a flop because I think it was hard to really pull off the, you know, the technology of this, like, duck that's for some reason living in our sort of normal world. But this is what's interesting To me I just told you that all I ever knew about Howard the Duck Was that it was supposedly a big box office flop It actually wasn't The budget was $30 to $37 million And it made $38 million at the box office So, I mean, maybe it only made a million dollars But it didn't lose a bunch of money Yeah, that's true So I wonder where I got that in my head

I don't know But you probably have to make more than a million dollars To be considered a success A hit There might have been, like, a lot of expectation built around it, too.

Well, right, because it is a George Lucas film. Also, it has been considered among the worst films of all time, but has also developed a cult following. It was nominated for seven Razzie Awards. It won four. And, oh, that's interesting. It said it made, yeah, it made $38 million. I guess only $15 million of that was in the U.S. So it turns out the international market was a little more ready for Howard the Duck than we were here in the States. Okay.

I'm ready. I want to get to a couple more of these, so if you don't mind, can I jump in here? Now, Luke, on my list, we have done a – You're going to ride my ass. At least pull my hair. Come on. We've done a comedy, Brain Donors, right? We did kind of a heavy drama, The Whole Wide World. We did Under Siege, which was an action movie. And now, Luke, we're going to go with a very different tone. By the way, you have like two minutes and ten seconds, two minutes and 19 seconds before I have to pull the plug on this. So take your time and enjoy it.

All right. Divorced white female. Beautiful statuesque blonde. Witty. I already know it. Cultured. What is it? Basic instinct. Nope. Dang it.

Lizzie, this is your mother. Remember me?

You should give yourself credit for a lot. You're terrific. You don't have five brothers. and my mother was the clerk at a grocery store. I support them. I take care of them. I don't know you. You really don't know me. You have plenty of time. I can't figure this guy out. I have a present for you. We can take off your dress. Is that Travolta? Nope. If I tell you, you'll get it right away, but I'll give you a little bit more time, and then I'll tell you who it is. Is that Howard the Duck? I don't want you to leave. Does this excite you?

Yes.

I will have you. Yes, I will have you. I will find a way And I will have

I remember this song I'd like to watch you move

Do you like it?

No

Are you going to ask me how I like this? Put them all on It would mean a lot to me Is that Mickey Rourke?

It's Mickey Rourke Nine and a half weeks Indeed I knew you'd get there eventually Wow, and I'm the one who's not supposed to say boner patrol It's very sexual and it really is that was Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke yes without any voiceover clues but I

figured that with two minutes and 19 seconds a very sexy movie and I feel like that's kind of a because we're old men like sometimes if we're trying to make a sexy movie joke we'll go to nine and a half weeks well when When he said, I like to watch you move, it narrowed it down to like one of five terrible movies where people are just having sex the whole time. And the guy will say something to the effect of, I like to watch you move.

You know what would have given it away? And I don't think it's in the entire trailer. But if they had started playing that god awful song, you can leave your hat on. Yes. That would have really been the clincher.

I saw, I believe, Peter and I, sorry, Peter Williams, that I'm putting your business out there. But I believe we rented that film because, of course, as, you know, young teenagers, we were quite fascinated with the female form. So anytime we heard about a movie that had some nudity in it, we were there for it. And I guess I think we were allowed to rent that one because it was still like on the very upper end of Rated R. Really? And it's just I think that they took I think what happened was there was all this kerfuffle around if it was going to get like an NC-17 rating or a Rated X or whatever that was. at the time and i bet you that they cut they edited it down so that they could get it under the wire because i'm sure the hit to the business if you can't rent it in like you know a safe way would have been really bad because i know that we rented it and i remember just thinking it was such a bad movie and also it wasn't like i don't want to get too explicit but it was the kind of depictions of adults making love that i guess is supposed to be hot to other adults if that makes

sense you've seen the movie right yeah yeah i i mean i saw it pro well yeah i probably saw it for the same for the same reasons i was titillated by the idea of it and ended up really disliking it

well yeah because it's a lot of them just being kind of in like a house or apartment like feeding each other strawberries like in a supposedly erotic way but like again not to bring this Into modern life also not something that I find Particularly erotic as an adult but even but as A 14 year old I had no context for it And I'm like he's grabbing Food out of the refrigerator and just Throwing it at her and making her eat strawberries and I was Like I want to just see some Boobs here now you

Just want to eat strawberries yeah

Exactly like we strawberries I was into the movies that were Made that involved a nudity but also Were made for teenage boys like Porky's films and things like that This one it reminds me a little bit of like The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

I never saw that.

It's based on the Milan Kundera book. And again, I had no idea what was happening in the movie, but it just had massive amounts of nudity, which I sort of appreciated. But again, it was a little too grown up. It was like the nudity was serving some larger adult kind of narrative that was lost on me.

Yeah, yeah. I think I had similar feelings. So what do you think here, Luke? Do we take a break and then come back and maybe play maybe one more off your list or i have one more are you all out or you have one more no i got plenty i just wasn't sure if you were trying to get out of here but let's at least

take a break and then figure out where we are all right uh so you just did nine and a half weeks which again weird um but i've got one for you that's also a little i don't know not off of our radar but um but not howard the duck okay if that makes any sense take a listen to this tell me if you can figure this one out.

If I don't come back, you tell Mother I love her. Your mother's dead. Well, then I'll tell her myself. I've got a loose cannon here. You think this boy Moss has got any notion that the sword's dead are hunting him? I don't know. He ought to. He's seen the same things I've seen, and it certainly made an impression on me. just how dangerous is it compared to what bubonic plague oh crime you see now it's hard to even take its measure it's just all that war

sorry they decided to intersperse every stop what's coming they decided to intersperse every piece of dialogue with the loudest boom of all time and you don't understand this is just a big long loud build-up i'm gonna have to stop at

the end of this build-up or it's gonna give it away okay here's what i know i know i hear tommy lee jones i thought i might have heard some woody harrelson yeah two for two my friend But I can't think of what movies they were in together. This is clearly not Wag the Dog. That had Woody Harrelson in it. But it's also clearly not. It's the darkest trailer ever for White Men Can't Jump. It's not I Didn't Kill My Wife, The Fugitive. No.

But that is a Tommy Lee Jones.

movie that is a tommy lee jones movie um it feels soundtrack by ricky lee jones are they on an airplane no they are not okay um hold on though don't i okay because i feel like i'm getting like people describe auras and i i don't know exactly what that means but i feel like i get the aura of this movie something i haven't seen but it's probably been on when genevieve's watching tv and just lands on something um i'm gonna guess that woody harrelson is like is um tommy lee jones

a marshal no he's always of some sort he's always some sort of lawman and he's a lawman in this um can i give you a not even a hint so much as to steer you in a direction you've seen this movie it's not like some kind of slept on the 90s film that would be coming up on like the usa network

over and over this is a prestige film it's a prestige film with woody harrelson i'm proud of that one tommy lee jones you can always recognize his voice um i don't i don't think i don't have anything left in the oh oh no wait now i'm just making weird noises for a second i was gonna say for a second i was gonna say no country for old men that's a prestige movie but that doesn't have

woody harrelson is woody harrelson in that movie call it i had to cut it before it yes anton goes call it because that would be the dead giveaway it's no country you had to give me a

lot of clues there i'll give myself eighth um a third of a point i'll give myself a third of a

point they're not even a full half there's a great line that uh basically because of the vagaries of this trailer there was a few things it starts with the you know um this is how do you say his name even it's like oh the um i can't remember um javier like yeah javier bardem's character is like anton gurgic or something weird but he's going around with that like air compressor killing people and being super weird so it starts with him doing the call it friendo the coin toss so that was going to be a dick away and then there's uh you know some stuff with oh the first voice that you heard uh is um oh my goodness gracious how could i uh james brolin uh sorry not james brolin who's the who's the younger brolin it's not james brolin james brolin i feel No, James Brolin's the dad.

Oh.

I'm looking at Brolin actor.

I thought it was James Brolin.

It's J-something Brolin. I don't think it's James Brolin. Josh. Josh. Josh Brolin. So that's Josh Brolin. And then there's this great line, which I don't know if I'm going to needle drop this in the right place. But basically, Tommy Lee Jones shows up at some murder scene. And somebody, however, let's just play it and see if we find it. Call it. Okay. oh phooey sorry the way they have this stupid thing set up you want to leave a message yes this is the uh bad guy still wandering back and tell mother i love her your mother's dead oh phooey anyway there's a well i i want to find this because it's just going to bother me otherwise tommy lee jones has a great tommy lee jones line will you humor me let me just play this thing out.

It's a mess, ain't it, Sheriff? There we go. If it ain't, it'll do till the mess gets here.

So there's all these dead bodies and the underling goes, it's a mess, ain't it, Sheriff? And Tommy Lee Jones goes, well, if it ain't, it'll do till the mess gets here.

That is a really good line, yes. I'm still confused about the ending of that movie. I feel like I'm not smart enough for the ending of that movie, although I haven't seen it in a really long time. Pam Greer gets the money. He just gives a long kind of, he's talking to his father, right? And he just gives a kind of a long soliloquy about about stepping away from the law. Isn't that how that movie ends?

And it's that's not is that the Coen brothers?

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, I know.

That's an amazing. I mean, that movie is such a departure. Oh, I wanted to tell you that, like, I guess I don't have the audio right here. I could click on the link. But some of the other ones that I tried, I know that we're not done. You got one more to play for me. Right. But yeah, yeah. I wanted to play. There will be blood for you. But it's just like, oh, there is no way away from Daniel Day-Lewis's Daniel Plainview. I drink your milkshake. He doesn't even get to that. But I have a competition about me and that I will just see that no one else should win. And it's just like, yeah, you can't. There's no not knowing what's going on. But then after watching that, I was like, fuck. Sorry to swear. It's F it Friday, everybody, on the summer games. I just then I was like, well, dang it. Now I got to watch There Will Be Blood.

like the trailer is so good yes yeah you know i didn't enjoy there will be blood um and of course that's pt anderson right yeah um and i didn't really enjoy i saw it in the theater i thought it was too much scenery chewing too over the top i didn't i remember actually not enjoying it i might feel different

If I had the patience to sit down and watch it again Again it's one of those things where I kind of trust the filmmakers And the critics more than I trust myself on that one Maybe I was just impatient But like I don't know it just didn't pay off for me It felt like a pretty long slog that didn't really pay off for me personally

I mean I definitely thought it was about an hour longer than it needed to be There was long stretches where I was just sort of You know kind of checking out a little bit But, again, I would put P.T. Anderson's work kind of similar to Tarantino's in that even when I don't really know why people are doing what they're doing, it's all very watchable for me usually. And so I don't understand the Daniel Plainview character necessarily. I don't – I'm not good with allegory and metaphor and literary things and storytelling devices and what things are representing other things. like, but just his energy in this trailer, just to like reconnect with that energy of those scenes. Maybe what I need to do is just keep watching the trailer. The trailer has got most of the high points. Yeah, right.

We should start a show called The Trailer Park Boys and we just watch trailers. Alright, this one's going to make you mad. Here's my last one. I have two because I came up with an extra one in case we did have and of course we did have the same brain donors one. I have one that's a little bit more delightful but I'm going to go with this one it's going to make you mad though

on the streets of Boston

already that's making me laugh just like that terrible music on the streets of Boston

on the streets of Boston

this was no gangland assassination

it was way too sloppy something went wrong here an FBI agent is on a case

All the low lives in the quiet city of Boston Start dropping dead And you'd think it's unrelated They're all bad guys Now they're all dead bad guys The victims are the mob

I want to make sure that you heard this That's not walking I don't want you thinking along those lines Because it'll mess you up

The victims are the mob All we have here gentlemen Is the beginning of the first international mob war And the hitmen think they're on a mission from God. Anybody you think is evil, don't you think that's a little weird, a little psycho? Sort of like 7-Eleven. We're not always doing business, but we're always over. That is nice and pleasant. It was two shooters. Ben, freaking tastic.

This guy's very sharp. He hasn't figured us out yet, he will. All we know is what we found out from the neighbors. And the general consensus is they're angels.

Oh, wait. Is this the boondock faint?

I don't think I know anything about the angel plot. I don't remember. Is that Willem Dafoe? It's Willem. That's what I'm thinking was. Freaking Dafoe.

Yes. And I love Willem Dafoe's portrayal in this. And he's totally over the top. And I love it. But this movie does not stand up. The first time I watched it, I loved it because it was so weird, and I love Willem Dafoe. And don't forget, I always forget this until I watch the trailer. One of the boondock saints is Ned Sparks from Somerdale. Oh, really? It's the guy who played Sean Bean. Sean Bean, yeah, exactly.

He's the guy who played Sean Bean. That's funny because, well, that whole movie, I've never seen that movie, but its lore is so huge because the guy that wrote it was a bartender right isn't the story told that yeah yeah he was a bartender in LA and he sold I think his name is like Sean Black maybe and he like literally was that Hollywood dream of you're behind the bar and you have your screenplay and like you know whoever some Hollywood producer walks in and you hand them the script and they basically gave him like unprecedented control and um you know I guess maybe like the good version is Sylvester Stallone making rocky and starring in it what's seen as the less good version is this guy it's shane black is probably his name actually is this shane black guy having total control over his first project and making this movie that cost all this money and was a huge flop although now it's developed kind of a cult following um and it was just sort of i think it was a cautionary tale about about troy duffy is his name right where did i get where did i get shane black because i just i don't know

if we're talking about the person who wrote the screenplay is Troy Duffany and looks exactly like the guy that you've described like a lot of like bald head, mean mugging with a beard and like a black leather jacket and sunglasses on like he really had his moment of oh and fake punching towards a camera like he just looks like such a doofus

I think I just totally just transposed

a name because there is a Shane Black but he's like been in and directed a bunch of really good movies that are very popular things like The Nice Guys The Predator the remake Iron Man 3 Kiss Kiss Bang Bang so somehow in my mind I took that poor sumbitch and made him into the guy that wrote Boondock Saints. Did you watch

the documentary Overnight is that where you're getting a lot of these Overnight is a 2003 American documentary by Tony Montana And the film details the rise and stumble of filmmaker and musician Troy Duffy of the Boondock Saints.

I mean, I think I read a really long, like, Rolling Stone article. I don't – yeah, it was probably like GQ. I don't even think it was as highbrow as the New Yorker. But anyway, sorry, Shane Black. Keep at it. You look like you're doing some good work. And to Mr. Duffy, we hope that, you know, fortunes turn around. I'm sure that there's a crisp business in Boondock sainting up the cons, though. You know what I mean? like anything that gets a high enough cult status like that i'm sure that like if if the guy who made boondock saints comes to a comic-con i'm sure there's a long line right i guess so he sounds like a real piece of work though he is not our kind of person really i've forgotten well first of all i forgot his name but i've also forgotten the details of him so maybe he's not a great guy this was one of the ones and then we should go andrew lest we do lest we do an entire show how I mean, honestly. How dare we do that for our listeners? God, that would be a disaster. I tried this one. It didn't work because it gives itself away way too quick, but I'm just enjoying this. Based on that.

Is it Caddyshack?

No. That song is very associated with, well, I know.

The world's richest man and the world's poorest boy are getting into it.

Yeah, I recognize that, who is that band? That's the No Matter What band, right?

Oh, that's Bad Finger?

Bad Finger. I think they did all the music for this because they were also on, they were the first signatory on the Apple label. Right. Yes. Right, I learned that from you. I learned it from watching you. I learned it from listening to you tell the same half story.

I was trying to think if there was a way to edit around, but Ringo just keeps saying dumb shit. That's a giveaway.

You know what is today, the day we're recording this, not the day that we are publishing it is Ringo's birthday, I believe.

Huh. Peace and love. Peace and love. All right. I guess we're here at the end of the show. We're picking our last rocking classic. What would you like to finish this edition of the Summer Games out with?

I feel like this is a somewhat fitting song to end these two weeks. We will be coming back on Monday. And my question for you, Luke, and my question for the listeners is, will you still love me tomorrow? You know, I will off of the Lovin' Classics rock and gold cassette tape. It's not by the I think the chiffons might do the most famous version of this. But this is the Shirelles, which I'm guessing was slightly more affordable to mass to dub under cassette tapes and distribute to the masses for McDonald's back in 1986.

So that's how we'll wrap this up. Thank you, everyone, for hanging out with us the last couple of weeks. We'll be back here on Monday with a brand new live edition of the show. I'm sure I'll have lots of stories from gunk holing and getting up to all kinds of adventures. Andrew will have some stories about Theo's Thundershirt. It's just going to be a show you can't miss on Monday, so join us for that. Until then, have a great weekend. We'll see you on Monday, and please remember no mountain too tall. And good luck to all. The light of love

is in your eyes

But will you love me tomorrow Shining a everlasting treasure Or just a moment's pleasure Can I believe the magic of your size Will you still love me tomorrow?

Power out.
