Ever watched a movie that made you want to cook? Remember the film "Chef"? Let us take you on a gastronomic journey as we discuss the impact of this film on the culinary industry. Listen to the stories from behind the scenes, focusing on the mentor-mentee relationship between the filmmaker, Jon Favreau and Chef Roy Choi. This movie not only gave us cooking inspiration but also led to the creation of the Netflix show "The Chef Show." Our personal experiences in the restaurant industry have shaped our love for food, and we can't wait to share our thoughts on the film's Cuban sandwich recipe and its Latin-flavored soundtrack.

Lastly, let's switch from the kitchen to a quirky and unconventional universe with the movie "Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls." This film, with its unique blend of horror and comedy, introduces us to a new magic anti-hero and a talented cast, making it a perfect choice for a movie night with friends. But let's not forget the real debate here: when should we start decorating for Christmas - before or after Thanksgiving? Join us for a fun discussion as we try to settle this age-old debate.

Speaker 1: 0:03

You've stumbled into a podcast. It's been one of the podcasts with the original Johnny's spoiler. I usually only spoil the movies that I love and I'm joined as always by the Savage Screen Queen herself. That's what in Savage. I like to start the show with a joke, folks, but I can't read my notes. I don't even understand what this means. Here's my notes for the show tonight Apparently holidays, a food movie, depression After Turkey Day, national Food Day and Introduce Jordan. In a case of can't read my own notes because I'm hopped up on cough syrup. I generally have a cold. Those are reason. Anyway, I get sick once or twice a year, folks, and it's just perfectly timed with the holidays. I'm going to make sure I spread that mega virus around all my relatives and the cousins I don't like. Let's wipe them out off the face of the earth.

Speaker 1: 0:52

The third cousins who show up at the holidays. Well, now you're going to wish you never came, Steve.

Speaker 2: 0:58

It's a good way to like just not have future holidays. Yeah, for you know future dates, so but I do. I do not miss that. Like day, cool night, cool fog. It's just like this twilight zone. You're just constantly in until it goes away. It's so weird.

Speaker 1: 1:14

Oh yeah, time doesn't matter anymore. There's no sense of being or place, or time or motivation. I was like all weekend I'm just like do I have anything to accomplish? Do we have to do something? On Monday night? Like do I even exist? You know what I mean? Like a single cell, amoeba, just like de-evolving. You know, as I get more progressively sick how?

Speaker 2: 1:35

would I look like? You would have thought I was the one hopped off, since I forgot to watch a movie up until like two hours ago.

Speaker 1: 1:41

Oh yeah, it's really funny like you know, Last year Jordan got her holiday sickness in, and I think we were actually promoting a doctor's app at the time. So I'm like it's not an ad, folks, she's really ill, I actually am sick yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:57

But you know, like I'm okay with that because I'll get one or two mega viruses a year and then it's like germs just bounce off me like bullets for the rest of the year. Not that I want you to come at me like Dwight Shrut when he's on that episode. Have you seen the episode where he tells him to sneeze on the toast, right, because he's like, wants to spray? He wants to. He says germs are good and you got to be in germs. But I'm going to bring up a Seinfeld real quick too, because I think like there's an episode where I think he's asleep and he tries to write down the punchline to a jokey song or dream and then it makes no sense. You know what I mean in the morning afterwards, right, what is kind of like what my show notes look like? I'm like what did I mean? Was I trying to say like the holidays are depressing and like you got?

Speaker 1: 2:37

to get off the ledge.

Speaker 2: 2:39

You got to like get yourself back into that state of mind so you could like finish yeah.

Speaker 1: 2:44

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2: 2:45

Johnny sickness? What Johnny illness? What are we trying to tell me?

Speaker 1: 2:49

You know, like I have no idea but I did put together here's talking about prediction and manifesting your fate. I wrote the word sick and the notes but I was talking sick like cool. I have written down here's the sick T day playlist. And a different sickness came down the chimney. But I think Sun and Law people are going to be grabbing that Sun and Law movie with Paulie Shore right when he plays the Sun and Law. I mean the title hits right on the nose. It's a Thanksgiving classic since the nineties. I think people will be in for that. One Another suggestion I can make watch daddy's home part two, so you can see the daddy's dads and all the daddy activities, the daddy's, daddy's, yeah, yeah, the daddy's of the dad, and then if you want like a two for Will.

Speaker 1: 3:31

Ferrell and. Mark Wahlberg, if you want a two for watch the other guys where they play like bumbling cops. And Michael Keaton is there. I love that one. They're a captain who keeps quoting like TLC songs. Right, yeah, he's like he's like I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 2: 3:48

My favorite line is thanks for the F shack. Dirty Mike and the boys yeah.

Speaker 1: 3:52

Yeah, when the other guys folks like they stole the cops car and they write notes to him. When they find the car and that's what he's used for, like some kind of like Orgee homeless orgy.

Speaker 2: 4:02

My, okay, I have one classic Thanksgiving flaking. I don't even think Thanksgiving's incorporated it, but it's essentially like a full calendar year.

Speaker 1: 4:11

Season. Yeah, you're getting more into the season.

Speaker 2: 4:13

Yeah, it's just seasons, but meet me and St Louis. Like I love Judy Garland and so it's always a movie that I'll watch, like this, so musical.

Speaker 1: 4:21

Is that? One of her famous musicals.

Speaker 2: 4:22

Of course. Well, you have like her singing one of her more classic Christmas songs and it's just like absolutely beautiful. But there are fun like Halloween scenes and then it goes, like you know, into Christmas and the full year really.

Speaker 1: 4:36

So they hit all the seasons. That's cool, they do hit all the seasons. That's pretty cool. It's a black and white color.

Speaker 2: 4:42

Or they do one of those things where it was black and white.

Speaker 1: 4:44

Then they did pay in a vision and they're like game back out in color later.

Speaker 2: 4:47

It's possible, I don't know. I feel like I've only seen it in black and white, though, so I don't know no. I don't know. Here's the trippy thing I'm trying to sit here.

Speaker 1: 4:54

I'm trying to figure out if you've brought this up during the holidays before, if you've mentioned this movie and also you got one up on me because I don't know, I'm not familiar with this movie and obviously I love her because. Wizard of Oz is like your jam?

Speaker 2: 5:04

your favorite movie?

Speaker 1: 5:06

Yeah, it's a really, really good one. How about the Santa Claus? Like the original movie, not the series not the sequels, it's like go to the old school of the Santa Claus.

Speaker 2: 5:14

We just had this argument at work because we had to argue our favorite Christmas movie and he's like all the Santa Claus are together and I'm like, no, you just like. I can't argue that then, because I don't want two and three to be involved in one, but the first Santa Claus is just the best. It's the most believable Christmas movie that there is out there, One of the best.

Speaker 1: 5:34

It's pretty great, like if somebody accidentally kills Santa, you have to take his place and there's like a whole rig of a roll. And then Tim Allen's character is like I don't want to fall off a roof. How do we? How do we? You know, santa.

Speaker 1: 5:45

Claus, yeah, and it's kind of good because, like again, it's like one of those things like, oh, you're slipping into adulthood, give up on your dreams. And I mean, at the end of the day, we're not these really cynical, monstrous creatures, like we are, these balls of jelly with emotions, you know I mean. So I think it gets the most hardcore dude. You know what I mean. Whether they admit that, you know, go cry in the tool shed. You know what I mean Hide your emotions. But you know what I'm saying. Like each one of us, like somewhere, where ever our jelly lives, like, you know that jelly layer.

Speaker 2: 6:17

At our core, yeah.

Speaker 1: 6:18

Pack, us open.

Speaker 1: 6:19

It's like a molten core of jelly. Yeah, santa Claus rocks. Anyway, I love it. I know a ton of people yeah, every generation gets introduced to this movie. With Steve Martin and John Candy Plains, trains and automobiles two guys trying to get home for the holidays.

Speaker 1: 6:38

There's like a major, heartbreaking twist in the movie. I'm not gonna say exactly what it was but clearly if I'm ready to spoil it that means I love it. But I've just I've seen that movie like we're going like 19 times. So you know I can't. It's starting to the effect is starting to wear off, right. But I watch it a lot for like the John Candy scenes I mean Steve Martin's with us. Thankfully John Candy passed away, but if you go and like his, some of his acting in his comedies is dramatic and so if you go and look at it, there's these little moments, right, and that movie has a couple of gems. You know, if you want to pay attention to acting and you're looking at his stuff and you're like I've seen Uncle Buck, what else is there? And then, oh, last year I think we did probably like the ultimate holiday episode. We watched a movie with Nobody's fool. Remember where the dad it was like during the holidays and the dad's trying to Reagent control of his torn down hall like home.

Speaker 2: 7:32

Remember he's like human.

Speaker 1: 7:33

I can't remember the movie, yeah, where the Sun shows up with the grandson, yeah, and they're like kind of, you know, they're all kind of like a strange, but they kind of work together on this, how the childhood home with the dad or whatever. Yeah, yeah, that's a great movie, I'm like. I'm just like, if you want to dig up these movies, I was like, oh, I should probably mention last year's movie, because we freaking nailed it last year. See, I should just point out that I think it exists. But you know, tonight's movie actually, I mean well, I almost spoiled some of the bits. That's probably not good.

Speaker 2: 8:13

Last week and you're just about to try to skip five steps everything.

Speaker 1: 8:18

Listen to this little theme song. It's not holiday related, it's just our classic theme. And then Jordan will be back with the savage stats from the chef movie. Oh wait, I was gonna say up at the top, hold on before I even go to the theme song. I'm all over the place. I don't know what to say Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle, all the way here we go Open a movie every day to celebrate the holiday season.

Speaker 1: 8:43

Now offering movie admin boxes this season at our Trusty link love the game. Media comm for size binge. Get all the holiday movies. You can open a movie every day of holiday season. It's pretty cool. That's awesome. I saw their boxes. I'm getting one. I recommend all of our listeners grab the link. Go look at their movie admin boxes. It's kind of cool idea which cone size with. Pretty soon we're gonna be doing our stocking suffers where we are unwrapping movies to review. So it's like lines up anyway. We'll be right back with favorite. No, we'll be right back with savage stats from the chef movie right after this theme song.

Speaker 2: 9:17

Crack open a cold box of wine or pour something cold on ice, because it's the binge watches podcast.

Speaker 1: 9:50

You to be quoted by the New York Times. Why haven't you quoted us before? We have a podcast? You're listening to it. Like, just quote us. It'd be like you know podcasts are hopped up on cough syrup drop, holiday movies, the holiday movie.

Speaker 2: 10:10

Fever dream is what it is. Yeah, oh man, all right. Well, yeah, I got some savage stats for you. Tonight we're watching. Well, we'll talk about. We watched it already, but the chef movie. A head chef quits his restaurant job and buys a food truck in effort to reclaim his creative promise while piecing back together his estranged family. John Fargo did his own cooking and training with the food truck chef Roy Choi. Love chef Roy Choi. They also met, by the way, on the movie of Iron man, gwyneth.

Speaker 1: 10:44

Paltrow?

Speaker 2: 10:45

Oh, because he was doing the food service on part of the Iron man movie Gwyneth Paltrow I'm pretty sure had hired they do talk about it in the chef show and that's a stat that I'll talk about in a second here, but I think she hired the food truck that chef Roy Choi had owned for like yeah, you know, craft services while they were on the set of Iron man. So a little bit of history there. I'm pretty sure. It's like 99.9% sure.

Speaker 2: 11:14

John Fargo did his own cooking oh, we already discussed that. Did his own cooking with chef Roy Choi, but Roy Choi only agreed to train John to cook if he promised to be absolutely authentic in the portrayal of a professional chef. So he really had to nail the personality side of his role for being chef Carl. Eventually, five years after this film's release, fargo and Choi teamed up again to do Netflix's the Chef Show back from 2019, which is a cooking slash documentary show on Netflix. It is incredible. If you haven't had the opportunity to see it, it's super good. They take you all over. They go to like Skywalker Ranch and stuff like that.

Speaker 1: 12:01

And they cook some really and you get in the kitchen with chef Roy.

Speaker 2: 12:04

Yeah, and you get recipes and you get like you actually get like full like into it, nitty gritty, cooking, So-.

Speaker 1: 12:12

I saw one where John Fargo got obsessed with making sourdough bread, cause sourdough bread is like not made with yeast or it's not made with one ingredients that normal bread has, but also gathers bacteria from the air or something like that. That's what makes it sour, or something crazy.

Speaker 2: 12:25

I think they're called scobies and you have to like constantly feed your sourdough and it's you know people can get Crazy thought right yeah, this bread's alive.

Speaker 1: 12:33

We need to keep it alive.

Speaker 2: 12:34

Well, and people will get like their mother dough from places that have like 200 year old starters and that's like just kind of insane to conceptualize, but-.

Speaker 1: 12:44

Well, that's like the new thing now with pizza places is like they want specific water from a certain pipes in certain cities. New York is really thinking about that, yeah we're not making that pizza without that Brooklyn water. Yeah, I'm like what horrible things are actually in that city water that you know what they include in your pizza dough.

Speaker 2: 12:59

It's so authentic, yeah, but it makes it taste the best, and that's like my, I think food is like who's?

Speaker 1: 13:05

mine. Yeah, sourdough tastes amazing and you're eating bacteria. Crazy it's wild.

Speaker 2: 13:10

Yeah, it's like a pet. So does this bring us to the bits?

Speaker 1: 13:15

It brings us to the bits, but I wanted to. I don't know where to put this. I have the Cubano recipe. They're making these Cuban sandwiches.

Speaker 2: 13:21

I love the Cubano.

Speaker 1: 13:23

Essentially, they make a mojo sauce which is excuse me, it's a sauce made with sour oranges, so it's citrusy, and then so they marinate a whole pork roast in that, but then they actually also add ham, which this is crazy. You already have a pork roast, then you add a slice of ham, pickle onions, yellow mustard specifically, and then something called Cuban bread, which I couldn't figure out. A good example of Cuban bread, the best idea is it looks similar to like a French bread or an Italian roll. I feel like it has to be thin-ish and just like French bread.

Speaker 2: 13:58

You know how like the outside of a French bread is like really smooth in a sense, I don't know but it gets pressed, I don't know.

Speaker 1: 14:04

I don't know if it has to be before it gets pressed, but anyway, that's the Cubano recipe. Some restaurants I worked in I made Cubanos all day. I remember one day I was working Cubanos all day.

Speaker 2: 14:14

All day long I've had some fantastic Cubanos, so it's up there for me.

Speaker 1: 14:23

I've never dated a Cuban myself.

Speaker 2: 14:26

I would love to go to Miami, go to Cuba. Yeah, well, just like you would get like that Cuban flavor down in Miami, but yeah.

Speaker 1: 14:36

But Cubanos are really good. The sandwich and the people. I'm not gonna address the government, I'm talking about the people. I'm not gonna talk about the government. The culture Not gonna talk about the bitterness from the 60s. We're not gonna go to the Bay of Pigs Unless it's a sandwich place. Then we'll talk about it. Gubanos folks. Ever, you got some favorite bits from the chef movie so many.

Speaker 2: 15:01

I took so many notes this week. The thing is is that I came from the like restaurant industry, just like you said. You know like that but that Restaurant industry was like a pivotal moment in my identity as a young person. I got to work at like a James Beard award-winning restaurant, just like how chef Carl starts in what a way to like spoil your palate like right at an early age.

Speaker 2: 15:29

I grew up in like the most basic vanilla place, like super affluent but has like no culture, flavor out like whatsoever Colorado's Incredibly boring. And so then I move immediately to Boston and I was working right off a high street at a wonderful place called Radius restaurant and it's like a James Beard award-winning restaurant, did a stodge, they took and did a seven course tasting for me and in the the, the shadow position and it was from there. I just was like completely in love. So of course I got some notes. I got some bits for you tonight, so Let me see the soundtrack. First and foremost, fan.

Speaker 1: 16:10

I didn't even get, I hadn't considered that. Yeah, they have like these Latin beats.

Speaker 2: 16:16

Jam out. We jammed out to it today at work in my little home office, like it's something that I will frequently put on because it's so good when they're writing.

Speaker 1: 16:24

The one character who's like the father-in-law is a freaking. Like Havana, cuba nightclub yes, like lounging air, whatever.

Speaker 2: 16:32

Yep, I think the relatability of chef Carl's crisis.

Speaker 1: 16:37

Like he didn't quit his job, he got like pretty much fired right no, but like every average American worker is gonna have this moment at least once, maybe a few times in their working career when you you're gonna lose your shit, especially with the conflict of, like, it being your passion to do this type of career, but your Stifled creatively and he like, couldn't, you know, fly his wings, you know?

Speaker 2: 17:00

for talking about the other guy, yeah, let's lay it out real quick for the audience.

Speaker 1: 17:06

So the chef made a deal with the owner of the restaurant. That's a popular restaurant based on the talents of the the chef that he can make the menu. It brings in a critic who likes the chef menu. The chef wants to change it up and the owners like but we got a packed House so we're gonna keep with the same old menu because we're gonna buy the food and the owner's thinking more of a you know dollar signs, whatever. But the owner is right. But he goes about it kind of the wrong way, kind of pushes the guy too far, like we're gonna do the old menu and I'm really in charge, and blah, blah, blah, blah. And then he disrespects how often the cook is actually back there. He's like how often are you even back here as the chef anymore?

Speaker 2: 17:38

Well, in all reality too, like the owner doesn't realize the reason why they have a completely booked, you know, like their reservation doesn't understand the chef.

Speaker 1: 17:48

It's because the chef wasn't attached to the restaurant.

Speaker 2: 17:49

Yeah well and it's also because of the conflict between the food critic and the chef. Like he was there. Conflict is what had filled the seats and People are there to witness an event and then chef Carl's kind of pigeonholed into cooking the same thing and so he gets a do-over and he Essentially the critic is there in the restaurant. He's getting the same food that he had already criticized so heavily and realizes that chef Carl's actually not there.

Speaker 2: 18:19

Chef Carl storms into the restaurant and has a full-blown crisis. You know he's yelling, he's taking molten lava cake, trying to explain the reason why it's molten in the middle of the face. He's crumbling it in front of him and I think that's the moment that's so relatable is like being pushed or like mocked or Criticized to the point of where you like lose your cool and you lose your cool publicly Like I've been that person in the food that serve it in the restaurant industry before. So I thought that the relatability of his crisis what is an amazing bit. I think the relatability of facing an emesis in that moment is Is a bit. I think the relatability of the downfall is a bit.

Speaker 2: 19:09

You know who has to like go back to his ex-wife and Kind of surrender to her idea to get pushed.

Speaker 1: 19:17

But they sprinkle the stories to suggest that she's still rooting for him anyway.

Speaker 2: 19:21

Oh, absolutely.

Speaker 1: 19:27

It's like he takes a loan from the ex-ex-husband, gets the food truck and then he's gonna train his son on the truck. And then one of his one of his, the sous chef, john Lachizamo, quits the restaurant he's at and goes with him too, and then, like I mean that ties into one of my favorite bits Like putting having the extraction shoe helped them build the truck. The first, putting the truck together when the guy shows up and they're having beers.

Speaker 2: 19:48

So cute.

Speaker 1: 19:49

It's a faces, you know.

Speaker 2: 19:51

Yeah, I thought that something that was relatable to is the hot ass Scarlett Johansson hooking up with the chef. Like I just think that the restaurant industry if you're out there. If you're out there, then you know what I'm talking about. It's just this like hot ass hose hooking up with this like back of the house guy who, just like, lives in, breathes and dies for his that just shows you, how good his food is.

Speaker 2: 20:15

Yeah, and fantastic food. I thought the chef Carl buying the chef's knife for Percy, his son that's. You know, they're going to pick out the equipment for the food truck. And he buys a knife for his son and he talks about how you have to care for it, you have to sharpen it, and he says the chef's knife belongs to the chef, not the kitchen, and it's just this like so sweet coming of age moment, a little ride of passage for his son. But there's so many, I could keep going forever and ever.

Speaker 1: 20:47

I think I should pass it off to you and you tell me what some of your favorite Well, I mean I like putting the truck together, the Sabin New Orleans in Austin to meet the barbecue guy who was a real, a real barbecue guy in Austin. Yeah, those are highlights. I mean I love all the. I love losing our shit as well. Again, seems very rooted in a plausible situation.

Speaker 2: 21:15

Reality yeah.

Speaker 1: 21:17

And hooking up. I mean that's if you're in the kitchen industry. Yeah, your relationships are all because you live in this world. It's like high pressure, high intensity, super fast.

Speaker 2: 21:25

You know, yeah, your trauma bonded and you're put like in your own universe.

Speaker 1: 21:28

You're in true trauma, bonded yeah.

Speaker 2: 21:29

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1: 21:32

And I mean, yeah, I like the chef to get a little action, you know For sure. Let me say Ratings. We always say binge now, binge later, binge never, which means watch it now, get around to it you know on your holiday list or whatever, or just never watch it. You can't get the hours of time back when you land on this one.

Speaker 2: 21:51

It's a binge out for me. I've seen this movie before. It's a movie I'm incredibly passionate about. I love this movie. Like I would say it could be top five for me of all time. I don't know why, I just think it's my brand.

Speaker 1: 22:04

She texted me oh, this is my favorite movie that we watch. I'm like I'm gonna hit her back with. I've never met her before. This is the fourth time you would say this is the best movie we've reviewed so far.

Speaker 2: 22:14

You're gonna start striking out some of my notes to be like you can't say I'm gonna go back and look through like I'm here for it, your favorite the transcripts.

Speaker 1: 22:21

I'm gonna go to the transcripts and like start charting like a Excel spreadsheet, like how many times she says we're capturing, yeah, we're gonna start tallying, you know yeah. Because then they're kind of diluted, it's like could they really be all that great?

Speaker 2: 22:34

No, but this is like. This is up there for me. What about you? What did you rate it?

Speaker 1: 22:38

Yeah, I've been to now as well. I feel like if you're homesick, you're hungry or you like to watch food as art, you'll probably enjoy watching Chef.

Speaker 2: 22:47

Chef kiss.

Speaker 1: 22:51

What else is going on? Oh, we got to preview this movie dropping on screen box called Onyx of Pertuitous, and the oh, it's full name is something else the talisman of soul, onyx of fortuitous and the talisman of souls. Here's a little Think of a barber.

Speaker 2: 23:12

I wrote down.

Speaker 1: 23:13

I got something about this movie. Where did I do with it? Anyway, I Can't find it. But you know, like one of the persons is One of the characters from school. Rock plays the friend in this movie. Anyway, this is a weird movie. There's like a, an official cult book club or whatever, like they're like this guy's satanic book club and they're all gonna go meet him. They won a prize. It's like the Willy Wonka of Sorcerers or something, yeah, and so onyx is like this weird guy. I wrote down something funny. He says I'm proud of what we accomplished at the meat hut every day. I was like all right, it's got a lot of beetle juice references. That the ending is basically beetle juice. I, the floating people dancing. I loved that. Yeah, they were doing the Chuck E chance. Did you notice that in one part, like with the magic chant they're using is actually a Chuck E chant like?

Speaker 1: 23:58

really them baller or whatever it is, yeah, hmm, anyway, folks, if you're like a horror movie fan, if you like not stuff this, this is like fits into like Midnight movies, something you'd crawl upon, like how do I describe it? It's definitely like a movie for your friends. Crack up with some beers, hang out with the guys, whatever and watch this movie. It's just fun. I.

Speaker 2: 24:20

I loved it. It's all my favorite things a cold like and throat which is ghouls, dorky men like it's oh yeah, favorite things and.

Speaker 1: 24:29

They each sacrifice is like a special monster or something.

Speaker 2: 24:31

Yeah, they use a term I have never heard before, which maybe I am just naive and not very trendy, but he said chamber, which is the combination of shame and chamber. It's a shame, chamber, yeah, yeah, chamber.

Speaker 1: 24:45

And I thought that was a weird affection to how he talks. I guess, like onyx is like an internet character that he created.

Speaker 2: 24:50

Yeah, it's a viral video of his bit and I didn't really know that until my boyfriend made me watch it again. But you're right, there's this. So here's why I wrote it down.

Speaker 1: 25:00

You remember the best, the bass player from school of rock. Her name is a raeus and she plays like the love interest who turns into like the furry I don't know, she's the one who becomes a witch. By the end it was like floating.

Speaker 2: 25:11

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1: 25:14

She's in school rock. There you go. And Jeffrey combs, who's like a horror royalty. He goes back to like horror movies in the 80s and 90s. You know the guy, not the guy, the woman playing onyx's mom in the movie Barbara crampton she's also in a bunch of horror movies, okay, so I feel like, briefly, she's only in onyx for like two seconds. I mean, there's a, there's a kitchen scene where she's making dinner and then Then at the end where he's like look, I actually did well, come see my new school of magic.

Speaker 2: 25:41

I have to also add to there's an incredibly sweet moment in the movie, right, because it is rather dorky and it's like got all this stuff jumbled in it. But I think it was incredibly sweet and one of a fantastic watch. But he talks about he's what was the girl's name in them in the movie that he's like kind of got the fling with. Do you remember the? He refers to her as Z and he passes out and sees like tucking it, tuck in a man and she, she's feeling really lonely and he talks about how you're never really alone and if you look at the night sky you realize that you and your friends are all under the same moon. And it was just dang little moment. I just I thought it was so sweet. So, yeah, it was a good watch, it was a fantastic watch.

Speaker 1: 26:26

So you know what? We've arrived at the part where we tell people about what's going on. Now we got a couple more of these feel good movies for you. We're actually gonna do a movie that's been on my list for a long time to get a podcast out of vision quest, which is about an 80s I think. It's based on a book and Basically it's a high school wrestler who wants to drop weight so he can compete with like the best wrestler in the state, like. So he's like he's not exactly champion, but he ranks well on the high school team but he doesn't ever really have any moments and he's like I want to be known for something.

Speaker 2: 27:06

I gotta have my moment, moment.

Speaker 1: 27:08

Yeah. So he's gonna, you know, drop weight. And then he meets a girl, another waitress, right she gets kicked out of the bar, she's working out or whatever and she's kind of down our luck. So he's like come stay with me and my dad for whatever reason. So then he starts having a relationship with her and like he's obviously slightly more advanced than he is and they also go. But this is like the first movie, madonna's inch, where she's playing at a nightclub, they go to your whatever. Anyway, it's a good movie.

Speaker 1: 27:32

Speaking of movie stuff, I've been doing this real awards thing which Lala made. They have like a discord community. They were recently talking about Martin score saving movies, like what's the best Martin's for saving movie, and people are dropping good fellas. People are dropping the departed. I Drop Wolf of Wall Street, which they've been advertising as part of their collectibles, like they're about to do. Drop to, which is Naomi, enters the chat, which is the Duchess it's basically, if you remember, in the Wolf of Wall Street there's Naomi, which is like the wife. Well, lala's gonna have artists like tell the story of her character from the movie, hmm, and you can earn a bunch of points if you do that. But here's why I like this community. This is how I'm going about real awards.

Speaker 1: 28:14

So if I'm sitting here at like two o'clock in the morning and I'm watching some stupid romantic comedy with Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman and I go, the time travel in this movie is insane. Nobody has ever talked about the time travel in this movie. What a good idea. There's no place for me to put a conversation like that anywhere. My Facebook friends will be like what are you talking about? You know, it's not a Twitter thing, right? It's not an Instagram thing, because you can't really. You, well, they have threads now, but you can't really do text on Instagram. They'll be like why is he? Why is he just posting a picture of Kate and Leopold? You know what I mean? Yeah, but dropping into someplace like the real awards community with all the Everybody else on the Lala movie fan group, like they're gonna get it. You know what I mean? It's also they have that like anxious movie energy. I don't even I call them movie thoughts. If you're movie minded, there's no way.

Speaker 1: 29:02

I know the raven movie fans are out there, but I don't. I don't have adjectives to describe what I'm talking about, but I'm just pretty happy that I can do something like that. Like I was like, hey, what do you think about the next? Not for rot-tube? And I'm like, oh, who's playing it? I'm like, oh, dude, scars guards playing it, boom, they're doing a remake. And then like, oh, who's your favorite? Dracula, you know? And then I dropped a werewolf picture from Brahms or was Dracula, because he goes, he whoops out in that movie. I'm like, let me see if the real Dracula fans, like these hardcore movie fans, are gonna acknowledge. You know. I'm saying like, yeah, let's get real deep in the in the discussions here, like inside jokes, like let's see how far they can take it, you know. Anyway, I recommend hopping over there, try out real rewards. It's free, guys, and then you get rewarded for for watching movies.

Speaker 1: 29:44

What else is going on? Fans? There's no fanservice this week. I'm not pulling up YouTube comments Like my cold starting to kick in. I've been like stiffling coughs for, yeah, half an hour. Yeah, which?

Speaker 2: 29:58

when I was trying to describe.

Speaker 1: 30:01

Yeah, that's what it hurt. I was trying to get the moho. Try to describe moho sauce man. Oh man, you made it. Though this gal, ladies and gentlemen, is already decorating freeze with ornaments. I may have seen the pictures, I got the evidence, but she's also very proud of it. She's like I got my tree.

Speaker 2: 30:20

Represent. Okay, there's two types of people in this world. There's people who decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving and then there's people who decorate after Thanksgiving. I'm somebody who gets incredibly mad on black Friday when I'm like where the F are everybody's Christmas lights, like Does nobody celebrate holidays anymore? And it's just because I'm way too eager. I just think it needs to be a season. Spread the happiness. My tree is up. I have company in town. That's why I'm potting from my bedroom tonight. I have my full desk for work in here.

Speaker 2: 30:54

But yeah, I'm Tis the season so I guess get your tree up or you got no respect. Mm-hmm yeah.

Speaker 1: 31:04

Yeah, I mean. So how do you differentiate those people like Like the more classy ones and the after ones are not classy.

Speaker 2: 31:11

There's people who are right and there's people who are wrong. I put my Christmas tree down. Yeah, I.

Speaker 1: 31:34

I do. It's her way or no way.

Speaker 2: 31:35

Mm-hmm, my way or the highway baby. Yeah, yep, that's it.
