Speaker 1:

All right. Welcome back to binge. Watch this podcast tonight's episode is called. Whatever happened to baby Jane Charles started loses it in an American psycho thriller last time on good wharf's podcast. Let's see, we're cranked out one hell of a conversation. Look it up. Download it. Subscribe on your favorite podcast app everywhere. And let's mix it up a little bit. Actually. I was going to tell a story, but I'm not in the mood, so I'm just going to keep cruising right along. Um, tonight's movie. Let's see. I want to hear

Speaker 2:

The story. Oh my God.

Speaker 1:

Okay. Okay. Okay. Well, okay.

Speaker 2:

I can open a cold box of wine or pour something cold on ice because it's the bench watches[inaudible]

Speaker 1:

Um, so like every social media platform has their own sizes for videos. There's no, there's no uniform size, right? Sometimes some have long triangle rectangle things for websites and other ones have these stupid vertical thing that QB or Quimby tried to launch off the ground is, Oh, you're going to watch this in the vertical size, nine, six or nine 16, whatever it is, it's really dumb. It's like this, and it's only exists because of I-phones right. Cause this whole vertical size thing. Right. So there's just stuff going on in the background and I'm distracted and like, uh, getting hollered at. So I'm talking like concentrate on like trying to figure out if this resize tool is any good and first time on the internet doing like, you know, the free stuff, right. Like the freeway. But then I get the, the, the, the hanging circle of death on my, on my Mac book air. Right. You know, that circle that just, we'll just spin for hours. If you're talking about video editing, like if you're rendering, you're waiting for the graphic is to complete their cycles. So you can finish cutting. And like, if you see that circle, you know, it's too late. Like it's never going to end. It's like corrupted, it's over with. So like

Speaker 2:

I spent an hour on this crash, they just do the circle.

Speaker 1:

I feel like after like two hours of trying to figure out where the resize tool was, I got the freeway here. I, I post the video and then I'm just waiting, waiting, and waiting. And it's not a small fire, right? Cause like it's a 45 minute video. So I mean, it was compressed by streaming at one time when we recorded it as our video from the night of the creeps episode. So I'm waiting for this thing to render out, to resize it to vertical. So you can see our video. That's a square from Facebook scrunched down. So people can look at it on Instagram TV. Why Instagram decided to change the square videos into the vertical in the first place makes no sense because they allow you to post a minute long video on the regular Instagram. Right. But they don't allow you to post anything longer than that, which they could easily unlock. There's nothing magical or special about Instagram TV, except for your video must be the vertical phone size. And it could be longer than a minute. It can go up to an hour, but I'm like, why would they separate the apps like that? Why wouldn't they just let you post directly to your Instagram profile? A video that's longer than a minute, you know, anyway, like none of this stuff, like I'm not, I mean, I used to edit videos, whatever. Like you got to take a job when you get out of film school, whatever. I've done. Some gigs where I was video editing only because that's what was, that's what was available. But I'm not like I'm more of a creative guy. Like I've come home.

Speaker 3:

You just, you just say an editors. Aren't creative,[inaudible] creative. Oh, you're just digging a ditch. Dude. I call. I think editors are the most creative people

Speaker 1:

Direction. It wasn't going in, but I don't want to debate if I think video editors, I'm saying basically I'm I was trying to, what I was trying to explain was I'm not technical enough as a video editor to figure out this problem. So I need to go and buy it.

Speaker 3:

Got you. Got you. That makes more sense.

Speaker 1:

So then while all this stuff is going around in the background, I clicked the wrong side of the screen. You know how there's always a button toggle when you go to buy. Cause then I found the resizer thing that you have to pay for. Right? I was like, Oh, every month it's$20. Or you could buy the whole year,$200. I hit the button was on the wrong. It was toggled in the wrong direction. And I'm like, Oh, what just happened? I'm like, Oh man, so much background noise that I, that like I had to like undo it. And it was too late because now I had to go through the cycle of like, Oh yeah, you'll get refunded in however long it takes, you know? Um, but thankfully I posted the video on Instagram TV. He got some comments. It's basically our night of the creeps episode. Reshared is a now Instagram TV video. Um, and whatever. So I'm led to believe it has like 70,000 views. So that's pretty good after fighting with it for like two days the posted up there, it's at least competitive. It's in the same ballpark as the rest of our thins. Right. So, you know, videos on Facebook, you're getting like a hundred thousand views videos on a YouTube, 30,000, whatever I'm still playing around with. I don't know how to market to YouTube. It's the algorithm is really difficult. We cracked Facebook. Instagram's all right. Um, and we're doing good audio wise, you know, we still crack, you know, 60,000 an episode or whatever. So we're like, uh, we're a little decent podcast here, little engine that could you. So, um, but we had to branch out like all podcasters are having to go to video now because it's just different. Like there's so much content out there. You have to be like on all the platforms. And like Adam pointed out the other day, like what if something happens? Like, you know, Facebook had a problem the other day and took a video down and we had to repost it. So that like how long does that take? You know, we like the audience couldn't watch it for two days or, you know, podcast server gets hacked. And so, you know, a hundred thousand podcasts are offline at the same time for a day, but you know what I mean? So that's like thousands of downloads wasted or not, not available. Right. So who knows, we just take all these

Speaker 4:

Frustrations and put into the next script.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. There will probably be a binge waters movie about podcasting and something. But I think it would be about obsession, which is kind of ties into tendonitis movie. Like, um, whatever happened to baby Jane. Let's see, let's see what happened to baby Jane. She was a child star. She, uh, loses her stardom because he's aging out of being a child star. She becomes a raging alcoholic. And then she gets blamed for crippling her other sister, her older sister who becomes a star as they get older. And the sister was bringing in these Hollywood bucks until she gets crippled. And then baby Jane becomes more of like an obsessed, abusive caretaker. Betty Davis plays, baby Jane and Joan Crawford plays blanche, typic stars of the era. This is like what? Early sixties or mid sixties or whatever. And they were stars. They started out in like the forties, I think. Um, going back to the twenties actually. Yeah. You got some trivia for her, Steve.

Speaker 4:

Yeah. I mean, I think there's a mega day. Hi, he's here that I don't know where that's from. It's from the stadium you're in. I think it went away. Um, yeah, John, uh, these actually these two ladies were kind of on the down slope when they took this movie and they ended up taking it because it was a starring role for each of them. Um, these two had like a big rivalry behind the scenes for years. Um, and they had a behind the scenes rivalry during this movie. Like they play the director against each other and that kind of thing. Um, Joan Crawford ultimately really off Betty Davis because Betty Davis was nominated for best actress award for this. And, uh, Joan Crawford approached Anne Bancroft, who was another nominee that night and said, uh, if, if you don't, if you win, I'll go in and accept your award. Cause she couldn't make it because she was in a play or something like that. Well, and Bancroft did win and Joan Crawford rushed up the stage to get the award just to off Betty Davis. She knew that would get under her skin are brutal. They, they made a whole mini series about this called feud, Bette and Joan, which is actually good. It was a good mini series. Actually.

Speaker 1:

You were saying like the behind the scenes stuff is just as like riveting or whatever, like they're feud or whatever. Oh, absolutely. Cause like they just, they were vicious

Speaker 4:

With each other. Uh, you'd have to go see that, uh, that doc or a mini series to see all the behind the scenes stuff. I have a question it's also like, yeah. Is it Betty Davis or is it that Davis?

Speaker 1:

It's spelled like bet, but it's Betty. They say Betty. Oh,

Speaker 4:

Hey Betty. Yeah. It's always Betty Davis. Yeah. I don't know why that is because there's another Betty shape of her eyes. Yeah. Uh, but this movie also created a sub genre during that time called hacks flotation, which was about like old weathered, uh, ladies, like, uh, after this, uh, Bette Davis did hush hush sweet Charlotte. Um, Joan Crawford did a bunch with, uh, not, not Roger Corman, the other guy, uh, the gimmick guy, ah, KA William castle. She did like William castle movies, like straight jacket. Um, so it just became a thing after like old Hollywood stars made

Speaker 1:

Clothes hanger though. The closet hanger was that crap.

Speaker 4:

Well, that was Joan Crawford. That was in a real life. Well, yeah. Joan Crawford had a movie made about her called a mommy dearest, which is actually a fun movie. Well, one of those movie, it was one of those movies that aim to be a drama, but failed so badly. It became camp.

Speaker 1:

Oh. So you're saying that's heads to pollution to even the movie about like

Speaker 4:

In a weird way kind of in a weird way kind of uh, yeah. So interesting fun. Interesting behind the scenes on this movie. Uh,

Speaker 1:

Yeah. Joan Crawford had some difficulty in real life, which is funny. They're portraying alcoholics in the movie or whatever, but I guess her personal life was still pretty crazy here.

Speaker 4:

Um,

Speaker 1:

So we'll get into our favorite bits, but we're going to jump into our, we like to do at the top of the show, we'd like to do home video headlines, which is like what's going on in the world of TV and movies. Uh, they just had the golden Globes. So I guess I'll run down some of these, uh, awards that I thought were interesting. I wrote, so I wrote some, some cliff notes down or whatever real quick to add to our headlines. Uh, that movie Noman land got best drama. And uh, the director got best director and Sasha Ben Cohen. He got an award for best musical comedy actor in Bora to Rosemont pike. From that movie we were talking about the other week. I care a lot. And we talked about that on the stereo app for our bonus content. The other day, she did it for a Netflix movie. She got like best actress in a drama. And then Andrew Day, who's playing Billy holiday and this new Billy holiday movie that just cropped up out of nowhere on Hulu. She already got an award for that. And she got best actor in like best actress, whatever in a musical or comedy. Um, Jason today is one for that comedy that he has on Apple TV called Ted Laszlo. So like best actor in a TV, musical comedy, um, something like that. And, but they're joking about this, the hoodie that he wore, like people online are more impressed by his tie night hoodie and that's media for you. They care more about that than the fact that he actually won the award for the show that he's in. Right. But they're saying he's like living his best life. Like he's getting divorced actually. Cause his wife went off and had an affair with, uh, Henry styles, kid or whatever. Uh, Olivia whatever. Yeah. They're saying she's talking to them before they were, before they were divorced

Speaker 5:

Partner

Speaker 1:

Tabloid stuff. It's like Taplin level.

Speaker 4:

That'd be arranged. I mean, who knows what people actually care about? One another, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1:

I think I wanted to touch on is black Panther won an award? Well, the guy that played him anyway, you know, Chad with Bozeman, who unfortunately recently he got best actor in a drama for a Mar Rainey's black bottom. I haven't, haven't seen the movie, but they said like his last couple of movies were like really strong performances. Cause he was like, he's like really pushing to have really great.

Speaker 5:

He was gone. He was gone for it. Yeah. Yeah. I have seen that movie and I'd say he was worth the win and he did a good job in that movie. It's kind of funny when you know you're going to die. You just go for it. Right. Like

Speaker 1:

Is the laundry list of headlines that I came up with? Like so much happened this week. I didn't even know how to encapsulate all of it. So feel free to react to whichever one you think is cool or just let it go. Um, lady Gaga had a dog Walker get shot and two of her dogs got kidnapped. Like that's like a Hollywood movie, but it really happened dudes in the hospital. Her dogs are missing and there's like a huge reward. Yeah.

Speaker 5:

No one, no one cared about the guy who got shot. Everyone. What? I was just going to say, like really this guy got shot and was like, where's the dogs four times. Yeah.

Speaker 4:

Oh my gosh. He's alive. After four bullets, must've been 9 million.

Speaker 5:

I'm not, I'm not sure. But I'm just saying like the new dogs. No, no.

Speaker 1:

So he's like an assistant that walks the dogs probably. Right. So if you've ever worked celebrity, like he's probably clinging to life because he's so afraid of how much he's going to take for having lost the dogs.

Speaker 4:

Me terrible hot that like, but Hey, you know, if it keeps you alive. Yeah.

Speaker 5:

They put it in a word up for the dogs and then this guy, I hope they pay for his medical bills. I'm more worried about this guy's medical bills, right? Oh, I'm sure lady Gaga is not, I certainly hope

Speaker 1:

Like a DAGA incorporated or something. Right. So you think like she would take care of it.

Speaker 5:

She better take care of it or if not, I'm going to be. I'm just saying,

Speaker 4:

Yeah. You're going to send an angry letter, right Nick.

Speaker 5:

Yeah. And I'm going to do it right here. Just rage hard on the podcast. I'm just like lady Gaga paid for this guy, his medical bills. He took me down.

Speaker 4:

you. Unless you do what we think is medical bills,

Speaker 1:

Superman coming from JJ Abrams of all people. And then, um, they text a pretty good writer. I forgot who writer was, but has like comic book and other movie titles behind the writer. But fans are pushing hard for Michael B. Jordan, which would be kind of cool. Um, he was like the Black Panther, but he wasn't really agonist because you feel bad for the guy, you know why he ends up where he does in that movie. And uh, he wears the other black Panther armor. So he just is heroic. I don't know as the other guy. So

Speaker 5:

He's, he's a great actor. I can, you know, if you take the B out, he's just Michael Jordan.

Speaker 1:

Well, I mean he put the Dean there to distinguish himself from that.

Speaker 5:

I'm always wearing Jordans,

Speaker 1:

American Ferrera. She's really funny. I think she started out in like the sisterhood of the traveling pants when she was like a teenager, but she was also in this, um, this Walmart centric, uh, Superstore sit-com or something recently. Uh she's she's been in other stuff too. I can't remember what else he's been in, but she's been around for a loop that ugly Betty show for she's super famous for ugly Betty. And uh, so she's getting ready to wreck her first feature. And so that should be pretty cool. Um, he's pretty, I mean, I've always liked the stuff that she's been in, so we'll see. You have good. That comes out. Um, Amber heard officially fired from Aquaman too. They were talking about that. Good, good. Yeah. That's what I said in my notes. I literally wrote good.

Speaker 5:

As far as I can tell with everything that I've heard in the media. No, she needs to go. Yeah. She's canceled. Dan's account or what, what? Nothing. Nothing. No. I'm going to tell about Johnny Depp stuff, but I don't know what that is. Yeah, no, no. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay.

Speaker 1:

I didn't even hear what you said.

Speaker 5:

It's only fans user only fan stuff.

Speaker 1:

Oh, does Amber heard having only fans?

Speaker 5:

I don't know. Uh, does she? I thought I heard that she did

Speaker 1:

Celebrity that has like the most famous, only Fanar. Um, what's her name? She was a child star, but now she's

Speaker 5:

No, the girl with the red hair,

Speaker 1:

It's like a punk rock. She wasn't cheating.

Speaker 5:

I don't know. She's the one that broke the algorithm or whatever.

Speaker 1:

See, you're throwing us off. She's not part of the headline.

Speaker 5:

Sorry. My bad. I have no idea on punky. Brewster shows are dropping here pretty soon.

Speaker 1:

We already mentioned the new punky Brewster like weeks ago and Dave watched it recently, but that'll probably come later in the, what did you watch section? So you're getting really ahead of us now. Uh, let's see. Um, you said Butthead or getting a new movie from parents. This is pretty cool. Um, well we ever going to do a show where they were getting a no show, so maybe they just decided to make it a movie. I don't know.

Speaker 4:

Um, and you can we get both?

Speaker 1:

No, but the commercial for it was, they were on a zoom meeting themselves on their couch. So it makes sense that you were having a hard time figuring it out because they were in two cameras where they were in one, one place. Right. So playing workaholics is going to get a movie. Um, we'll see if they, if the movie comes out, they'll probably get another, they'll probably do a re like have a new show, you know? Um, but it's gonna, it's going to show you like what happened to the guys and workaholics who were like, where are they? Like 10 years later. So that's kind of cool to see if they still work in the same office or they finally grew up. That'll be interesting. A new Reno, nine 11 movie. And they're going to make a lot of jokes about probably the stuff at the Capitol. But I'm reading number one is kind of, kind of funny. I w like you guys ever watched the Miami movie or any of the show, like, it's like a fake cops,

Speaker 4:

The show. I wasn't a huge fan of the movie though. I gotta say,

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay. Um, but I love the show, Dave. The last thing I had on my list was something that you brought to our attention in Facebook messenger was you were talking about some loss film with George Romero popping up. Oh, that's yeah.

Speaker 4:

So they, yeah, they've restored this last movie of his called the amusement park, which is about, I guess somebody's aging. There's like real tight lipped on what the plot is about, but I guess it's going to be premiering soon on a virtual film festival or I can't remember which one and like a shutter. No, I think I heard that shutter's going to release it at some point, but they didn't give any dates yet. Yeah.

Speaker 6:

We're exclusive when we get to see it, but it goes to the film festival first, right.

Speaker 4:

Something like that. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Um, did we miss anything, Nick? Is there anything we need to add or headlines here?

Speaker 4:

How did you guys like Dexter? Cause they're filming the next season right now. Yeah. I like the first four seasons. I feel like we also had to say, yeah, that's what everybody says. Cause I would, I wouldn't be though. Nick, I got over it after that, but I'm just saying, and I, and I kept going with it up until eight and I gave up on eight. I'm just saying, but I ever seen the final episode I did and it was bad. I felt like, I was

Speaker 6:

Guess what? Guess what, Dave? It's not the final episode anymore. Oh no, no, no.

Speaker 4:

I, I, they can try to erase everything they want. I mean, I'll still watch it.

Speaker 1:

Let me go ahead and give us a mini review of punky Brewster though. Yeah.

Speaker 4:

Oh, meet, uh, I I've watched two episodes and Oh, meet Adam. Oh, Adam, go for it. Uh, why?

Speaker 6:

I didn't want to talk about punky Brewster. Really? I wanted to just say I'm excited about the new Cohen brothers Scarface. I don't know why they're doing Scarface. I don't know why it's

Speaker 1:

Okay. Like, you know, Scarface has been remade already. Like the, the, uh, the, are they doing the thirties version? I don't know.

Speaker 4:

I bet you that's going to be the differences. They're going to go back to the, if they do a third version,

Speaker 1:

I'm in, I'm already. You can't do them. Cohen's is the only reason

Speaker 4:

I'm sorry. D I'm sorry. I'm just like, I don't even know what to think right now. You've busted my brain. Cause I hate this. I'm in the minority. I can't stand the Pachino Scarface. I just can't.

Speaker 1:

It's easier in the string yard app to talk over each other than it used to be in the Skype days. Stay hello to my little friend. All right. We'll be right back after these messages. Um, Oh crap. Actually I was supposed to do something at the very beginning of the episode. I'm supposed to do a pre-roll for our freaking, uh, puzzle people. I forgot to do that. There's no way to go back in time. I don't know what I'm going to do. Um,

Speaker 4:

Mad DeLorean and go back in time. Did he go flux capacitor, John?

Speaker 1:

Um, I know what we'll do. I'll just move them around. I'll say. Okay. So tonight we're brought to you by a couple of different people. We'll write to you by a puzzle company called union dragon and make these exquisite puzzles. We're also brought to you by the stereo app. We'll let you know more about them in a little while, and we're going to let you know that we're supported by sponsors and also affiliates to keep the podcast, uh, chatting along. So I'll just rearrange the episode. That's what I'll do before we go to our exclusive messages, uh, craft, I'll tell you about this puzzle company. Um, let's see.

Having a better ad instead of up at the top, we'll figure it out. Um, what else is going on? We've been diving into this thing called stereo.

And you'll be involved in our stereo.com/johnny spoiler discussion every week on stereo. Adam, what are your thoughts on stereo?

Speaker 6:

Uh, I like it a lot. I mean, I've talked to a whole bunch of people on there, um, about everything, about all kinds of stuff. You had the most amount of anonymity when you tie in to somebody else's, uh, you know, whatever they're talking about and you hold this button down and you get to say a comment and that comment enters a queue. And then the person that's hosting the show gets to play the comments. It's pretty neat. Like you wouldn't think that. And the other thing is like, it's not a camera on you, so you can like wake up first thing in the morning, not have your hair done, you know, not even having eaten breakfast first or whatever, and then you're automatically getting your day started talking to somebody. Um, they just fun, you know, talk to strangers. Some people I've seen, I've heard people get into fights on there. Like are they were disagreeing where even the people that were, I mean, it was neat. I liked that kind of vibrance, you know, uh, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I would say they're fighting. I think it's more like casual banter, which you don't hear on like other social media platforms. I think like stereo is kind of like the exclusive place to have a really free conversation. So if you want to join in, go ahead and meet us up. Follow us stereo.com forward slash Johnny spoiler. And now we're going to get back to our show. So let's roll into favorite bits from whatever happened. Did David Jane, uh, Hey Nick, you got our favorite bit from this movie.

Speaker 7:

Favorite bit is actually the performances of the two ladies. I just, the,

Speaker 5:

They were such great actresses and hearing the behind the scenes stuff makes it interesting. And I, I just thought that like, it almost felt like I was watching a play. That makes sense. Yeah. I don't know if I felt like, I felt like it was watched. I felt like I watched this in like a theater or something. Like, it felt like a good, I felt like I was watching more of a play than actual movie. I don't know. But this, this movement is kind of hard for me sometimes because I kept falling asleep.

Speaker 1:

Like all the old acronyms were melodramatic theatrical. So that that's basically it like plays you're right. Yeah.

Speaker 5:

You have to take the math before you start watching the movie. I guess. So

Speaker 4:

Like method watching instead of method.

Speaker 5:

Oh no, you got me man. We're on the same wavelength. I of course I wouldn't be making a crass joke.

Speaker 1:

He gets nervous. He immediately goes, let's talk about drugs instead of talking about the movie at hand, I guess. So last time he was talking about gremlins on drugs. Now he's talking about, you got to, in order to watch baby Jane, you gotta be on drugs. All right.

Speaker 5:

Hey, we saw that one, caffeine. That's all. And we were drinking in the movie theater and the experience was magical. Do you remember what movie that was? John?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, but you keep bringing it up. Like if you want to get

Speaker 5:

A speed racer, great racer. Like the arms were saying her movie

Speaker 1:

Speed racer, the ample speed racer. I thought you said he racer. So it's just the live action with our buddy

Speaker 5:

Email. Yeah. Okay. Gotcha.

Speaker 1:

We're going to get rung up by his people and they'd be like, he knows his name is the man.

Speaker 5:

Oh, is it email

Speaker 1:

Dave? Do you have any favorite bits from baby Jane? We'll see if we can get this podcast back on track. Um, yeah.

Speaker 4:

Yeah. I think you and I can combine our discussion because we actually talked right before and we just cited or we discovered that we both have the same favorite bits, which was serving of the rat for a dish and

Speaker 1:

Yeah, this is incredible. So baby Jane has to cook her sister blanche dinner every day, make all our meals and she like loses it over it. Right. Um, yeah, funny, like, I don't think blanche necessarily has a bad attitude during the movie, but maybe like, you know, baby Jane just finally snapped and doesn't want to do it anymore or whatever. I don't know, but

Speaker 4:

Just holding it in for years. Cause she has it out with her at the end. Like, you know, like I held it for you. And even though you were mean to me, like she was finally like

Speaker 1:

Rat old fashioned dinner platter, like Nick was talking about how theatrical the movie is and like take the time to put it on the serving tray with the tea and they open it up and boom, biggest rotten you've ever seen in cinema. It was mainly besides princess bride where they have the rodents of unusual size, but it's a big, it's a big rat to have to eat for dinner. That's for sure. Um, that's also one of my,

Speaker 6:

Then how has it taken then to see Betty just like go nuts over that? Or like laugh maniacally, like little, almost over the top of just the right amount.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. So, um, cause you guys talked me into talking about my experience with trying to make an online purchase for a video editing tool. And then having things exploded in my house. Uh let's let's tie in obsessive dreams. So Adam watched this movie and it freaked him out or something. Cause then he was telling us about a dream he had where he was serving us food.

Speaker 6:

Yeah. Nick wasn't at the apartment because he was like late, but it was like a situation was like, yeah, me Dave and John, the were living together and I made some food for, uh, John and Dave was like, not hungry and I'm like, hold on, hold on. Like, and I was going to get the garnish, but the garnish was something I made that was kind of fancy. It was like a castle or something.

Speaker 1:

See, my face was on it. Didn't you say my face on it and you put it on the plate.

Speaker 6:

I okay. Um, I'm getting ideas confused, but yeah, I was making a collage, uh, and I was making a face out of what was going on on the plate with the collage. It's too complicated. Dreams are weird. But the whole point was I was like, okay, don't eat it. I want you to see what I've made. I left.

Speaker 1:

That's what it was.

Speaker 6:

One second. I left the room and come back. John's already done with all the eggs. He's like, I ate them already and I'm coming in late.

Speaker 1:

This is, uh, you know how I know this is just a dream because Adam made me Abe one time. And since that day I've refused to eat any eggs that Adam will ever make ever again. What do you do

Speaker 6:

Talking about my eggs? You'd be begging no, that must be one of your nightmares or something. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Half a bottle of garlic into my scrambled eggs. And like, it was bad.

Speaker 6:

What's a bottle of garlic. I've never had that garlic extract.

Speaker 1:

No, I think it was the real, like, you know, little garlic. It's like little mince garlics in a jar. Um, well I think you just said it then Scarlet. Yeah. Minced garlic. Um, must've been the preservative anyway. So, so like, like, um, I don't traumatize me with scrambled eggs and then he got traumatized by watching baby Jane and he had a nightmare about serving us food. Like a baby Jane that's basically it

Speaker 6:

And y'all were unappreciative. And then

Speaker 1:

I read this psycho movie study and it was talking about how in cinema history, they freaking aren't really that crazy. They're like Darth Vader's of archetypes. Like, like even pinnable up, they're not a true psychopath to psychiatry, but uh, Anton sugar from no country for old men, a true psychopath. So stuff like that, like I dunno how many movies they watched 45 or something and they compiled this study. Right. And I just thought, yeah, it's really cool. It's an interesting idea that like, Oh yeah, movies, just, this are just saying, this is a psycho killer, but it has nothing to do with psychopaths. It has to do with like intention premeditation and creating these boogeymen, you know, to tell movie stories or whatever.

Speaker 3:

Um,

Speaker 1:

I mean, I, I would think you can make an argument that like baby Jane or sister have issues, but then like what they do is mostly intentional. So maybe neither of them are crazy, even though this is considered like one of the most popular movies about crazy stuff of like all time. Right. It's on everybody's list. It's on INDB it's on Rinker it's on, if you just Google it, it comes up on like four or five lifts. Right. So that's kind of interesting. Um, my other favorite bit is probably everybody's the ending's really good, right? Like there's like a whole dance sequence at the beach where she's like totally lost her mind. Um, and spoiler alert, why wouldn't be a binge Watchers with us boiler of some kind. Right.

Speaker 3:

Okay. We go,

Speaker 1:

Why don't we live up to my name sake? Uh, so the other sister may or may not be dying. The one who's crippled, she may or may not be dying. And the other one is like totally snapped and is like dancing while eating ice cream. And the police are looking for those sister on a beach. And like that to me was pretty magical for this, for this movie, you know? Like that was pretty great, good stuff.

Speaker 6:

I feel like they weren't even looking for her. They were just kinda like taking a stop, you know, grabbing a bite to eat and they just happened.

Speaker 1:

Maybe Jane recognizes this as like maybe her last time to perform before a crowd that's gathering. Right. But she thinks of it as her audience.

Speaker 3:

I will say, if you're really bingeing with this movie, you can take a drink every time. She's like, well, don't she know who I am. I'm baby Jane and everybody just like, yeah, yeah. That's great. You're like, I know a lot of people like that though. Like where you, like don't you knew who I am, who are like kind of like faded, you know? It's like, uh, I hate that. Yeah. Just saying

Speaker 6:

I got that treatment from, uh, one of the Neptunes, Chad Hugo, when I worked at the music store, I don't even know who that is.

Speaker 3:

Actually. I literally, don't my point.

Speaker 6:

I'm not trying to throw anybody under the bus cause Chad's a nice guy. But uh, when I first met him, he was like, don't you know who I am? And I'm like, no. And he's like, yo, just pick up a magazine. And I was like any magazine. So you're like in publishing.

Speaker 3:

Wow. I literally don't even know what this guy is.[inaudible] sorry.

Speaker 1:

Well, let's do some, uh, some fan service. So I don't know how often these guys stalking me on Instagram, but um, actually I made a friend on freaking stereo and uh, they commented on our killer Joe episode. So majestically official is his name of his Instagram. But he actually is, uh, I think his name is Lee, but he goes by majestically during his shows on stereo. When he was saying on the killer Joe post, he was saying like, wow, never heard of this movie. Definitely on the fence about watching it though. Laughing, smiley face. So I was thinking, Oh yeah, um, you are an offense a lot. It will be like that. And we were honestly, I think we were on the fence about watching it, but we got talked into it. So

Speaker 5:

I got to talk more about that episode. I got more airplane that episode for not being in it. It was amazing.

Speaker 3:

It's mostly me being like, Nick, why aren't you here?[inaudible] this guy that's missing.

Speaker 5:

I know it's perfect.

Speaker 1:

Which brings us to another favorite. Well, it's kind of growing to be a favorite segment is what should I watch? Where we try to convince each other to watch things. We don't have to be brutal tonight. I'm like I said, it kind of earlier, I may have said it in the episode that I'm in the middle of a Billie holiday movie, but I didn't really watch anything this week outside of the, uh, baby Jane that we're supposed to watch to talk about. Um, Nick, did you watch anything this week outside of the show?

Speaker 5:

Uh I've I'm about six episodes into an amazing show called 60 days in where you take normal people. Oh, you're watching

Speaker 1:

From last week.

Speaker 5:

No, I didn't watch that last week. Did I? You already mentioned the prison show. Maybe I did like four, six months ago. I'm watching a new season. So yeah, I'm just saying like, dude, guys, watch this show. It's so good. Normal people and you put them in prison and it just, it's crazy.

Speaker 1:

That's funny. You can just say like you take going on people, you corrupt them. You turn them into prisoners against you.

Speaker 5:

Yeah. It's literally like, you're like, wow, look at what happens in prison. Like, or it's crazy or jail. But yeah,

Speaker 1:

If you don't stab somebody the first day and like take somebody's ramen, then you're, you're the. Right? You gotta like

Speaker 3:

Really lay down the law.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, no it's jail.

Speaker 1:

It does a private company owned it. Or does the state owned the prison?

Speaker 5:

Don't know it's an, it's an Alabama and it's pretty scary.

Speaker 1:

Uh, Dave's writing like a musical comedy about jail right now. Dave, can you send one of the numbers?

Speaker 5:

Uh, what? Just seeing one of the numbers real quick. Like the title. I haven't worked out the lyrics yet.

Speaker 1:

The music in his script that just says joke, joke. And then there's a couple action words. Then it says insert song. Then it goes back onto the, you know, Bobby stab Steve. Then it says joke, joke, insert song. So he's not really credited with the, but there's

Speaker 5:

Still tap dancing though. Right? What? Tap dancing.

Speaker 1:

Oh, there's definitely going to be tap dancing. Nice. What Nick didn't tell you about 60 days in is like the tap dancing episode is episode two.

Speaker 5:

I've never seen that sounds good. Oh, sorry. I just spoiled the next episode.

Speaker 1:

Dave, what, what do you watch? Anything else this week?

Speaker 4:

Uh, yeah, I've watched a few things. Uh, one nostalgia watches. Um, I rewatched high fidelity for the first time,

Speaker 1:

I guess on this episode, you're trying to say like, you're the best Ben to watch her. I watched, I watched several things this week. Well,

Speaker 4:

A lot of stuff was in the background. So while I was there,

Speaker 5:

What I watched wasn't exactly noteworthy, but I figured it out again after over all its great lessons. Anyway. Sorry. Uh, I dunno.

Speaker 4:

I forgot how quotable that movie is. Um, but the other thing, um, we talked about that I couldn't convince anybody, but uh, the new wrong turn is actually really good. Actually might even be better than the original. And I shouldn't have been called wrong

Speaker 1:

In the woods, horror movies. Like I don't even want to because they didn't change the title. I don't even want to watch the new one. Well then

Speaker 4:

You're cheating yourself. Cause it's actually really good. So it has more in common with like the original Wicker man than it does. Right.

Speaker 1:

In a weird way. Dean has like a huge gambling bill or like he owed somebody money or something. Cause like, why is he in the movie?

Speaker 5:

Sometimes you need a paycheck. Yeah. I thought Modine was something you put on a wart to get rid of it. I don't know.

Speaker 4:

He liked the original wrong turns. Watch it. If you don't like it, then still watch it because it's not like the wrong turn movies, even though it has the name, uh,

Speaker 1:

Adam's talked a lot. So we're just going to skip over if he watched anything else this week

Speaker 5:

That's so bill, I barely said anything you watch. Yeah. I watched something pretty cool. It's a movie with Donald Sutherland in it. It's got, it's got uh, you know, uh, Leonard Nimoy in it, Jeff Goldblum, but uh, invasion of the body snatchers, the 78, uh, version. It's so beautiful looking it's it's a lot prettier than it is

Speaker 1:

That one officially we've talked about it. Maybe offering candidly talking about those actors, but yeah, that's actually a podcast worthy Adam. Good choice.

Speaker 5:

Yeah. A great memory. Oh my gosh. The end when he went down was, I mean, I don't even want to say it. I'm sorry. Uh, just the end is great. Yeah. You just want to spoil the end. We've mentioned the movie. That's John's job.

Speaker 1:

I'm not in anything, but if you want to find out what you're supposed to want to do it, but you're too late. I'm too moving on John, would you watch, I know you didn't watch anything, but if people want to go deeper in the conversation with us and find out whether or not I have anything interesting to say, or we're going to spoil anything, I don't know. Don't miss out then to watch his after party on the stereo app, we're going to be live every, uh, every week. We want to hear from you our first area of show. Wouldn't a bit like, uh, me and Dave playing around with the app, uh, random people joining the conversation, Adam, click the comment button a few times, Nick, uh, couldn't figure it out like a boomer, but he's doing his best to try again. And he promises. He'll be able to send some audio clips our way. And just as a reminder of stereo is the live conversation app. It's kind of like social audio. You can talk to us directly. And if you want to join in on some of the jokes here, let us know if you actually think that invasion of the body standards is a good movie or whether or not you think lady Gaga should pay the bill for her dog Walker who got almost annihilated and for clothes, what's more valuable. The person who's working, walking the dogs or the dogs themselves. So you can ask questions about these types of topics and anything else we're talking about for binge-watch podcasts. We want to hear everything down when it now joining us every week at stereo.com/johnny spoiler and connect with all the binge Watchers on the crew. And then let's now play this new game that Dave and I came up with. This is how we're going to choose movies for the rest of the year. It's a new section on the show. So at least there might be one reason to listen to this episode. You're going to hear about a new segment called this or that. We're actually based on the titles. You here will determine what is next week's movie. And then Nick will remind you to watch it. And then he'll give us a really great ending for the show. Cause we're getting ready to wrap it up, but you can join us on the stereo app because after every show, now we're going to go do our cool-down movie mashup or movie trivia or whatever the hell we're doing on stereo. You can join us there after the official show. But I'm stalling now because I'm trying to find my list of titles to tell you for this or that.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. I need to tighten up. This is a weird episode. I forgot the pre-roll at the pre-roll time and squeeze it into mid roll time. I don't know what's going to happen with the puzzle. People will find out, you know, they're going to pay us or they're going to drop the ad. Well, we'll find out, I guess. Um, so, okay. Do you guys want to watch a movie called love me deadly or a movie called the Stanford prison experiment. Love me deadly, because it sounds more like a Skinemax movie. Interesting.

Speaker 3:

Well we know what Nick wants nervous. Yeah. Okay. Let's get it.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to say Stanford prison experiment. Okay. Let's see. Adam's going to do a tie breaker or if he's going to make any sense.

Speaker 3:

That's me deadly baby.

Speaker 5:

Adam knows. Adam knows.

Speaker 1:

Um, Dave, you lose. I'm also a love me, deadly guy. So I do want to see that one too, but yeah. So no complaints. Uh, I think it's hiding out on somebody's YouTube channel. So it might be the whole movie on YouTube. But if you're worried that it's not the entire movie, then it's like 99 cents on Amazon. So have you found the movie that involves necrophilia? You've found the right. Love me deadly. Other than that, I don't know what movie you're watching. It's too late to change my vote title only. It might be a little skinny maxi from beyond the grave. Oh my gosh. This is stomach. This is from 1973. This is going to be like,

Speaker 5:

Oh, Oh wow.

Speaker 1:

I feel like it's going to be a Honda Skinemax. This is like

Speaker 5:

Grandpa. Oh man did. That could be fun.

Speaker 1:

So this is like Cougar date night.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, it's going to be crazy. Oh wow.

Speaker 1:

All right. This um, um, all right, we're going to do this. I just need Nick over in his Barbara Bush wig. Somehow this movie still made 18 million in the seventies. Wow. He likes to say comments. He has any frame of reference for like Adam showed a picture of naked a wig because Nick does YouTube videos and he wears wigs as different characters. So Adam's referring to one of the wigs looking like Barbara Bush. Like you leave our audience out in the dark. What else? Like look, all you gotta do is take Nick's image. Put a white wig on it. Boom. Barbara Bush. Give us your best. Barbara Bush, Nick real quick.

Speaker 5:

Uh, I, I, I am Barbara. I don't know how to do it. I don't even know what she sounds like. I guess if that's what she sounds like. I don't know what my revisions,

Speaker 1:

Uh, you need to help us out here.

Speaker 5:

Oh. Oh. So stuff got real tonight. Guys. Check us out on social media, chicken or YouTube chicken on her Instagram. Check out us on stereo. We're going there live right now. And also check us out in general. Like a good or everything page anyways, everything page. Wow. Anyways stuff got real. I love you guys get

Speaker 1:

Real. Cause we talked about how Adam makes scrambled

Speaker 5:

Eggs, scrambled eggs. And he puts a lot of garlic in it. Right?

Speaker 1:

I never told the end of that story, but John died.
