This is Brendan Stacy with Let's Wine with Brendan Stacy, and we're lucky enough to do another episode with Scout. He is back again. So we're gonna try and change the subject up a little bit. I thought we'd start with musicals this time if you're okay with that. Yes, indeed. Yes. What's your favorite musical?

SPEAKER_00 0:15

It is it's probably just Rocky Horror Picture Show.

SPEAKER_02 0:18

Mine too. I have literally this sounds insane, but when I lived in South Florida, that was, you know, people talk about going to the midnight movie. So it was every Friday and Saturday night. And you figure there's what, 52 weeks in a year. And I bought it when it was on VHS back when it first came out. So it was like $89 to buy it. I have literally seen it over a thousand times. Had to have.

SPEAKER_00 0:39

That is insane.

SPEAKER_02 0:40

No. Do you know her daughter is named Curry after Tim Curry? Yeah. The spelling is different. Her dad wanted the spelling different though, but she's a curry. Yes. That's my baby.

SPEAKER_00 0:54

Like Madame Curry.

SPEAKER_02 0:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 0:56

I always tell people that it sounds like Curry like the radiologist.

SPEAKER_02 1:01

Yep. Spelled like Madam but pronounced like Tim.

SPEAKER_00 1:04

Wow. That's awesome. Yeah, I really liked the musical. I think it's I think it's absolutely hilarious.

SPEAKER_02 1:11

I know. And little baby Susan Sarandon in there.

SPEAKER_00 1:14

Yeah, Susan Sarandon's super good in it. Even the first uh number, you know, Dammit Janet. Damage, it's a super good song.

SPEAKER_02 1:22

Yeah, I just used Google about the top musicals of all time. And it gave me number one as being Hamilton. How do you feel about Hamilton?

SPEAKER_00 1:30

I haven't seen it all the way through. I've watched the first, like, only 10 minutes, seriously, but I love the soundtrack.

SPEAKER_02 1:37

I know. I know people see it when it came in a movie, you know, they made a movie out of it, and Male's friend Roxy listens to it in the car. I heard for a long time he had that running. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 1:46

There's a lot of really good emotion in it, you know, like Eliza's character is really well uh expressed within just the soundtrack. And I haven't seen the musical or the movie. And her songs are my favorite ones. You know, Byrne?

SPEAKER_03 1:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:59

Byrne is like, wow, I really understand Eliza's character, and I know nothing I know nothing about the history or the musical or the movie, but I understand this character.

SPEAKER_02 2:07

It is worth a watch, but you have to set aside three and a half hours. I think it's pretty long.

SPEAKER_00 2:11

Yeah, and you gotta you gotta deal with all that. Leslie Odam Jr., Mitt Lynn Manuel. I mean, in my opinion, a lot of musical acting is not very good. It's it's it's a little too overdone, and that's just because that's what theater is.

SPEAKER_03 2:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:25

I agree with that with also Shakespeare acting, too, but I kind of give a concession to Shakespeare acting because the old English is so hard to understand that you have to overact it with your actions and your facial expressions just for the audience to understand it. Otherwise, it would be completely lost in translation from the 1700s to now.

SPEAKER_02 2:44

That's a good point. I had it written down and somehow we completely avoided William Shakespeare in the writing episode, but that's okay. What about the sound of music?

SPEAKER_00 2:52

I love the sound of music. Right.

SPEAKER_02 2:55

Love Julie Andrews. You know, like Mary Poppins.

SPEAKER_00 2:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:59

Okay. What did you see Victor Victoria?

SPEAKER_00 3:02

Never heard of that.

SPEAKER_02 3:03

You'll be Googling tonight and you better watch it tonight. That's a good one. Julie Andrews. She plays a woman who dresses like a woman, but she's playing a man. If that makes any sense. She's kind of trying to hide and finds herself in the drag world and Victor Victoria. Yes, Victor Victoria.

SPEAKER_00 3:19

Victor Victoria.

SPEAKER_02 3:20

I haven't seen me there. We watch it. Yes. We need to go in there and watch it. You gotta move your boy. Move the boy out of the way.

SPEAKER_01 3:25

He's in there snoring, we'll move him.

SPEAKER_00 3:27

Yeah, I love sound of music. The Von Trapp family is super That's a lot of kids. Super fun to look at because it's uh it's Nazi Germany, but it's also just a family.

SPEAKER_02 3:38

And you know damn well though, that many kids, that family would not be that organized in any way, shape, or form. Well, if you were the mom, they would. I don't know. There's a lot of order.

SPEAKER_00 3:51

Is that a musical?

SPEAKER_02 3:52

Yes. It is a musical and live. It was on Broadway.

SPEAKER_00 3:56

I guess it is, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:57

Yes, and we looked into seeing it in Tampa. And I mean, they're dressed as animals, and the music gives me goosebumps and they come out through the audience, and it is amazing. It's really amazing.

SPEAKER_00 4:06

I've I've actually, yeah, now that you're saying it, I have always wanted to watch the musical of it. And when it came to the Fox Theater, I wanted to see with my daddy. He was like, no, we're not gonna go watch The Lion King.

SPEAKER_02 4:15

Oh, it's an animated Nova.

SPEAKER_00 4:18

You don't need to say it.

SPEAKER_02 4:18

Well, there is one, but I mean, don't watch the mo that one. Watch the musical one. They even made it. I think they the Broadway one, I think they actually filmed it and put it on PBS, so I mean there is a live action out there somewhere. There is the live action movie too, but you don't want that one either.

SPEAKER_00 4:33

I haven't seen that. Yeah, that's the new one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:36

Yeah, you need to watch it.

SPEAKER_00 4:37

I mean, it's a it's a good on its own, the animated movie is good, and I guess it is a musical in a sense. There are a lot. Just can't wait to be kid.

SPEAKER_02 4:46

Hakuna Matab.

SPEAKER_00 4:47

Yeah, there's plenty, there's plenty of songs in that yeah. I know it's the characters are just so intriguing that I guess I forgot it was yeah, musical.

SPEAKER_02 4:56

Okay, now I'm gonna take you. This is a guess. Are you a West Side story person?

SPEAKER_00 4:59

No, but I should be. You should be. I always wanted to watch it, and you know, in my thousands of hundreds of hours of scrolling on different streaming platforms, I've never seen it available.

SPEAKER_03 5:10

Huh.

SPEAKER_00 5:10

Like if I ever saw West Side Story on Hulu, Netflix, Peacock, Tubi, Pluto, any of them, I would have clicked into it and I've never seen it.

SPEAKER_02 5:18

What about Singin'in in the rain? That came up as one of the top ones.

SPEAKER_00 5:22

Never seen it. Okay. I've s I've probably seen every single musical number from it, but I've never seen the movie in full. All right, fair enough. It's a cla it's a classic, just like you have to watch it. Also, my sister used to be in musical theater and dance, and she is a huge Singin in the Rain fan. Her top two are Hamilton and Singing in the Rain, if you ever asked her.

SPEAKER_03 5:41

All right.

SPEAKER_00 5:42

And also, man, what's it called? Hey, I think it's Judy Garland, and then it's two guys. And the two guys are kind of fighting for Judy Garland, but they're not maybe it's not Judy Garland. Man, what's that called? I don't know. It's this movie, and it's two guys that are kind of fighting for this girl, and they have constant musical numbers where they're doing dance and singing.

SPEAKER_02 6:01

I kind of want to know what it is, man.

SPEAKER_00 6:02

She loves that movie.

SPEAKER_02 6:04

Call her sister. I know. All right, what about Little Shop of Horrors?

SPEAKER_00 6:09

Never seen it. Actually, I've seen my sister's production of it. She did Little Shop of Horrors production.

SPEAKER_02 6:15

Was she Audrey?

SPEAKER_00 6:16

No, she was some background dancer.

SPEAKER_02 6:18

Fine.

SPEAKER_00 6:19

Her only main role was in uh a musical version of the Christmas Carol. She was the ghost of Christmas past and future. So she was Marley and the Reaper. And she was what's his name? Fezywig.

SPEAKER_01 6:34

How do you feel about your sister being creative in you are too? I mean, where do you think that came from for both of y'all?

SPEAKER_00 6:42

I wish it was more creative now. She's definitely dyed it down to become more of a scientist, mathematician.

SPEAKER_01 6:48

But nothing wrong with that.

SPEAKER_00 6:49

Nothing wrong with that. You know, that's where it all is.

SPEAKER_01 6:52

You know, you gotta make you gotta make the money.

SPEAKER_00 6:54

I think our parents were really big enthusiasts of creativity. My dad originally was an artist before he became an accountant. So he was an artist for a really long time and he was like, There's no money in art. I'm just gonna become an accountant. So since we were like seriously two years old, he was like, I'm gonna sit you down and we're gonna draw for an hour and a half, and you're not allowed to leave the room until an hour and a half passes, and all we're gonna do is draw. And then my mom would be like, Okay, I'm gonna sit you down and we're gonna listen to this entire record all the way through. And that's it. We're gonna sit in the room and listen to a record. So we interacted with music on a singular or not music, we we interacted with art on a singular basis since we were children. It was like, you're only doing drawing, you're only doing dancing, you're only doing music, you're only doing writing for a specific amount of time, and it helped both of us enrich our connection with art in all disciplines, which is super important. So yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:46

That's amazing. See, she instilled reading in both of her kids. She was an avid reader, and so she instilled they both they're both big readers. I'm not. My kids are both big TV watchers. Well, I mean, but they're smart and they do their things. And I mean, school was important and all of that stuff, but I wasn't I mean, I think my nanny read a lot, but I wasn't raised by like you have to read or you have to draw or you have to it was nothing creative, just always like around me. And I think that makes a difference.

SPEAKER_00 8:20

I really, really do. What was really important was that there was a sort of mysticism behind it. My parents were always like, you're gonna unlock something that even I can't explain. And just them telling me that gave me the energy to explore further. So if they were just like, you're gonna read this and know a story, I'd be like, okay, I'm gonna read this and know a story.

SPEAKER_01 8:40

Well, they told you there was a path behind not just you're gonna have to read this passage, you're gonna want to read more. The more you read, the more you want to read.

SPEAKER_00 8:49

They just flat out were explaining to me that there's a level to to interacting with art that no human can fully explain. And interacting and being exposed to that at a young age allowed me to realize the importance of art.

SPEAKER_01 9:04

That's cool. I know I got subject, I'm sorry. I mean, it baffles me of what makes people who they are. And I know you're just interesting. So I had questions.

SPEAKER_00 9:17

Yeah, I'll Okay, yeah, singing in the rain. What do you like about Singing in the Rain?

SPEAKER_02 9:20

I've seen it, I've watched it, you know, with older people. It's not one of my favorite movies. You know, everybody knows the song Singing in the Rain, but as far as watching it, I'll admit I kind of got bored with that one. It wasn't one of my favorite ones. And I hate to admit that because a lot of people love that one and they love all the dancing and the tap dancing in it. And all right, Grease, I wanted to get on Grease because of John Travolta being in there, and you know he's in Carrie.

SPEAKER_00 9:42

That's his debut. Yes. They they even say it right in the intro. Debuting John Travolta, and his character in Carrie is just like a trashy asshole with very few lines. I thought that was hilarious because he's way more interesting as what's his name? Danny something.

SPEAKER_02 10:00

Danny Zuko.

SPEAKER_00 10:02

It's Zuko? Yeah, Danny Zuko. Wow.

SPEAKER_02 10:05

I know. Now, this is off of musicals, but did you ever watch Welcome Back Cotter? He was in that. It's a show that was on in the 70s. I haven't seen that. Where he plays a high schooler.

SPEAKER_01 10:15

Yep. He's not born for 30 more years after the 70s. Why would he do that?

SPEAKER_00 10:19

The oldest show I've watched is Different Strokes.

SPEAKER_01 10:22

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:24

Maybe. I don't watch it too much. The only reason I really know about it is because I I was initially introduced to it when Robin Thick released Blurred Lines. You know that song Blurred Lines? And Robin Thick's dad, Alan Thick, made the song, the theme song for Different Strokes. So then I watched like the first season of Different Strokes.

SPEAKER_02 10:45

Maybe Facts of Life too. That might have been another theme song. There was another one out there that he did.

SPEAKER_00 10:49

Blurred Lines is a good song. Different Strokes is pretty good.

SPEAKER_02 10:52

I know. I feel like I don't mean to ask you too many questions. I feel like for me, this can be off the record, and maybe it's because I had older parents and the shows that they watched, but I was watching a lot of stuff that was on before I was even born. Like I know you probably heard of Bewitched. I Dream a Genie. Leave it to me.

SPEAKER_00 11:09

I dream a genie's good.

SPEAKER_02 11:10

Father Knows Best. My husband loved I Dream a Genie. And I asked him, I said, is it the whole Carum girl thing or is it Barbara Eden? He's like, it's Barbara Eden.

SPEAKER_00 11:18

Yeah. She's a good actress. Yes, loves. And she's good looking.

SPEAKER_02 11:20

She's still alive. She's still hanging in there, I think. That's not what my media room feels like you're in a genie's bottle. Yeah. I just feel like I knew something from every decade. And maybe it's where I work too that has exposed me to stuff before. So I don't I don't want you to feel like if I'm asking you something like out of your age range, but I'm pressuring you. You really are. I mean Welcome back, Hotter. What's John Travolta? If he still knows John Travolta, though, he'd know. I mean, he likes it. He knows a lot of older stuff though. He does. He's very well.

SPEAKER_00 11:50

I don't know much about Travolta other than he's a Scientologist now. Is he? No, I didn't know that. I loved him in Hairspray. He's good at hairspray. Hairspray's funny and realistic. There's so much good about Hairspray. About the original, I've watched the original production. Oh, the Ricky Lake. And the and the remake movie was like 2009. They're both really, really good.

SPEAKER_02 12:11

It's that didn't come up in the list of best ones, surprisingly, but here we are on it. And I'm okay with that because I love Hairspray.

SPEAKER_01 12:18

So you have a list of the top ten musicals in front of you. They're supposed to be the best ones, yes. Supposed to be. The best of the best.

SPEAKER_02 12:25

The only one that we haven't hit on is Annie. Annie's on there, did you see it? Tim Curry's in it. Or he's in the movie version of it. He's in the movie version of the Carol Burnett.

SPEAKER_00 12:36

With the with Little Black Girl, the new remake? Or the Shirley Temple version?

SPEAKER_02 12:40

It's not Shirley Temple, but it's an older version.

SPEAKER_00 12:43

I like the new one with the black girl. She sings, she sings. Now look at me and this opportunity. She's really, really good singing that. She's done nothing since that movie. She was like eight when that came out. She's like 20 now.

SPEAKER_01 12:57

That little red-headed girl in the movie. Did she grow up to sing?

SPEAKER_00 12:59

She's a crazy name.

SPEAKER_01 13:00

We didn't know you could sing. So now you have to sing us your Now you have to sing us your favorite song.

SPEAKER_00 13:07

Well, I'll tell you, funnily enough, I was in a musical fraternity in college. Shut up. Five U Alpha Sinfonia. And And during our brother's graduation, the president turned around and looked at me in the face and said, Stop singing, you're tone deaf. So I wasn't allowed to sing during our graduation. You just lipped it? During my girl in the graduation because I was tone deaf, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:29

You just lip synced it. You pretended you were singing. Eileen Quinn was her name. You pretended to sing.

SPEAKER_00 13:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:37

In your singing debut.

SPEAKER_00 13:40

Oh, brothers, we salute you.

SPEAKER_01 13:44

Good lord.

SPEAKER_02 13:46

What are we in for? I know. Okay. Okay. All right.

SPEAKER_01 13:49

That was a better writer than you are, singer.

SPEAKER_00 13:51

I am. I mean, I'm a good I'm a good singer when it comes to nothing with notes.

SPEAKER_01 13:56

All right.

SPEAKER_00 13:57

Here's her name. Quavincine Wallace.

SPEAKER_01 13:59

Yes, that's it. That's her. Is the girl you love from Amy? That's the version of the what year? That had to be like 10 years.

SPEAKER_00 14:08

2014. 2014, yeah. So 12 years ago. Okay. And opportunity, she's really good in that. And it's because her voice undulates at the top notes, so she sounds like a kid. It's really good.

SPEAKER_01 14:18

Did she have like a Shirley Temple quality tour? Would that be something that resonated like a Shirley Temple quality? Not you the phone for Yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_00 14:28

I think the Shirley Temple movies are great. When I was a kid, there was I don't know what channel it was, but some channel advertised the Shirley Temple collection every single commercial break.

SPEAKER_03 14:38

It was like, for three dollars! Shirley Temple collection.

SPEAKER_00 14:43

Alphabet Crackers and my soup, you know, over and over again.

SPEAKER_03 14:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:49

So I think I definitely think the the new Annie had that Shirley Temple quality to it. And it's more than just childhood innocence. It's like a belief. It's an eternal belief that the world will always be good, which totally rules. Because it's more than innocence or ignorance. It's a deep-seated feeling. It's a mess thought. Yeah, no matter what, it will be good. Even though I've looked these things, even though I've looked the hard knocks directly into life, I still believe it will be good.

SPEAKER_01 15:18

No, you can start singing hard knock like it has it has been and it can be. But eventually, the human spirit and the will to live and the will to survive makes us stronger. Like that's what we it has been a hard knock life. But if you think about Annie, that's it's all gonna be okay. I mean that's how I feel. I feel like there's always hope in the next day.

SPEAKER_00 15:49

At the minimum, that's the message of Annie.

SPEAKER_02 15:51

And that's how I wonderbooks could have gotten a damn car accident on the way home after he picked her up.

SPEAKER_01 15:56

So what? So then she's not rich anymore. But she still has the will and the ability and a strength. She's gonna move on. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:07

Mm-hmm. Hope that's definitely the hope is definitely the message of Annie. Musical, they can't not even they can't, they choose to express emotions through song because music is more engrossing than any other form of art.

SPEAKER_02 16:24

Yes. The biggest false hope there is.

SPEAKER_01 16:26

Yeah. Music makes you feel something.

SPEAKER_00 16:29

And you can do music while you can do music. You can listen to music while you're reading, you can listen to music while you're painting, you can listen to music while you're writing.

SPEAKER_02 16:35

See, no, I can't.

SPEAKER_00 16:36

Really?

SPEAKER_02 16:37

Yes. When I'm reading, I want it quiet.

SPEAKER_00 16:40

I guess it has to be a few more.

SPEAKER_02 16:41

I can't do music when I'm reading. I like my focus to be on it.

SPEAKER_00 16:44

If there's lyrics, I can't listen to it.

SPEAKER_02 16:46

Oh, you just put music classical or something.

SPEAKER_01 16:48

I imagine you just like dun dun dun dun dun. That's how I imagine.

SPEAKER_00 16:53

I like Ken Carson too. He's like a new gin gang rapper. You know, like hardcore, like, I want to kill you and murder you. Oh. I like to listen to him. He's one of the few new new gin gang rappers I listen to while I write. Other than him, it's mostly Schubert and Haydn, classical music.

SPEAKER_02 17:10

All right, we'll move on from musicals and these are bucket list movies, is what I looked up. And they're all before your time.

SPEAKER_00 17:16

What does that even mean? Like you have to watch it before you die?

SPEAKER_02 17:19

Yeah. It's one of those things where people, you know, have a bucket list, and these are movies that people, you know, think, oh, I need to watch that. Because it was like a big deal at the time. All right, like if I said Gone with the Wind. Saying it. All right, fair enough. Did you know?

SPEAKER_00 17:32

It's a good flick. I I'd want to watch it at least twice. I got bored with it.

SPEAKER_02 17:36

But I guess everybody's seen it. It's a southern thing.

SPEAKER_00 17:39

I mean, there's an intermission.

SPEAKER_02 17:40

It's a random pattern.

SPEAKER_00 17:41

And the intermission itself is three minutes long. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:43

It's like one of the most racist movies out there. But back in its time it wasn't.

SPEAKER_00 17:48

But Scarlet O'Hara, as God is my witness, and she Damn it, Scarlet! She's hitting her hands against the horse in the middle of the farmland, praying and hoping that she can find her way without a man. Yeah, it's super powerful and interesting. It's definitely a bucketless movie. I would agree. Well, that came up as number one, Citizen Kane. That was gonna be mine. If I if you asked me one bucketless movie, it'd be Citizen Kane. And it's really because it's a bad movie.

SPEAKER_02 18:14

You know, there's always gonna be the last time. The last time of everything. Like the last time you run down to whatever friend you had down the street, you know, you walk, can you come out and play? It's like there's always the last time.

SPEAKER_00 18:24

What's important about it is that he's searching the entire not him. He dies, and then everybody in the entire world is searching the whole movie. What is the importance of Rosebud? This guy's the most prolific, richest, important, most famous person in the world. Obviously, Rosebud means a lot to him. But the reality is that Rosebud is a secret that he has kept from the whole world because it's his childhood.

SPEAKER_01 18:45

And you haven't seen this movie, but you can't- No, I've seen I've seen Citizen Cain. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 18:49

It's George Orwell, okay. I have homework. What's important about Citizen Kane is that there's a there's a divide between childhood and adulthood. And even though there's a divide, childhood will always secretly be more important than whatever you achieve in adulthood. Because your childhood defines and directs whatever you do as an adult.

SPEAKER_02 19:10

You say that so well. That's kind of like.

SPEAKER_00 19:12

So Citizen Kane's a super important movie because I think everybody who watches it, once they reach the end, I mean it's like a three-hour flip. Once you reach that three hours and you watch the credits, or you're like, it's been 25 years since I've watched it.

SPEAKER_02 19:25

I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_00 19:25

And then I watched this fucking movie. That's what you think. And then 20 minutes later, you're like, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 19:31

He fell something. I know. Now I took heat at work for not watching this one. I still have yet to see Ben Hur. Ben. Am I missing anything? No. Everybody swears I am.

SPEAKER_00 19:41

Go ahead and go. You live in Atlanta. Go ahead and go to Movies 5-2. Ben Hur plays plays once a week on that movie. Yeah. Ben Hur is trash. And it and with ads, it ends up being four hours long and it's boring. You might as well watch Jason and the Argonauts or The Thief of Baghdad. It's just another one of those old movies with big sets in Hollywood where somebody's saying something important about Christianity, but they're also being pursued about it. There's nothing important about it.

SPEAKER_02 20:07

It doesn't look like it would thrill me. So I just kind of put that one on the back burner. Max Wizard of Oz.

SPEAKER_00 20:12

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:13

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 20:14

In my opinion, if as an adult, Wizard of Oz probably doesn't matter too much, but they've like really captured the magic of an alternate world in that movie. And when you're a kid, you can really zoom into that and be like, yes, this is so pretty and perfect and amazing. There is Oz. Oz is real.

SPEAKER_01 20:32

And people do need hearts and people do need brains and people do need courage.

SPEAKER_00 20:37

Whatever that lion wanted.

SPEAKER_01 20:39

Courage. All those things.

SPEAKER_00 20:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:41

I mean, really.

SPEAKER_00 20:43

It's so beautiful that you don't even care that Oz is a is a fake. You know? You don't even care that Oz is revealed as smoke and mirrors at the end. You're just like I know. No, Dorothy had to adventure through this whole thing. It starts off with the witches against each other, and then you you meet these amazing people, the mungigans, and then you meet these three different characters. It's a really, really good example of the hero's journey in the lens of young adult fiction. Okay. Godfather. I don't know nothing about that whole series. My sister says it's the best movie ever. My sister's like I haven't watched that one in your movie. My sister says Godfather 2 is one of the only sequels ever that's better than the first. Of course, I challenge her. Wayne's World Two is better than Wayne's World One. Guaranteed.

SPEAKER_01 21:28

Jeff likes the Godfather movies. And when he's watching them, I do I feel like I get sucked in. It's like, oh, I got something else to do. But then if I sit down for five seconds, you're in it to watch. I'm in it. Yeah. Those are ones like, you know, you can't once you're there, you're there. You gotta watch.

SPEAKER_00 21:47

Yeah, I haven't seen it, but I imagine it's it's in the same vein as all those other gangster movies where it's like, yeah, if you if you look into it enough, you really get sucked into that deep s sort of heart feeling. Where it's like I have to understand I have to understand how you're feeling because it it it's emotions driving everything. It's family. It's hard. It's love.

SPEAKER_02 22:07

Did you watch a Sopranos?

SPEAKER_00 22:09

No. That is before my time.

SPEAKER_02 22:12

It is before your time, but you should go watch it. All right. What about All About Eve? Is that on your radar? I don't even know anything. That's Betty Davis, and it's the old version of single white female. If you ever saw that where this young woman kind of tries to take over some other woman's life. Yes, and Betty Davis is amazing.

SPEAKER_01 22:29

That's one of those just Well, I imagine she I mean, there's a song about her, Betty Davis Eyes. Do you know there's a song about her eyes?

SPEAKER_00 22:37

Not a song about your eyes, though. You must be important.

SPEAKER_02 22:39

She is them eyes are all right. Now this one I expected to be on the list.

SPEAKER_00 22:43

Force Gump. Forrest Gump is uh it's good because Tom Hanks has a really good character in it. And and he's not Tom Hanks in the movie, he's Forrest Gump.

SPEAKER_01 22:53

Tom Hanks, has he ever been the same? Have you ever gone, oh my god, it's another Tom Hanks movie. I don't want to watch it.

SPEAKER_00 23:00

Never. Yeah, like Sully. It's like, oh my god, Tom Hanks is a good thing. I gotta go. Did you watch Sully?

SPEAKER_01 23:06

But Tom Hanks is good.

SPEAKER_00 23:11

Sully is not a good movie. And when I watched it, I was like, oh, okay, Tom Hanks, what happened?

SPEAKER_02 23:16

I don't think I watched it.

SPEAKER_00 23:17

That's the point.

SPEAKER_01 23:18

He didn't have one little bag. Well, I don't know. I mean, that was a very thrilling story. I mean, God bless Sully, and he saved a lot of people's lives and he landed in a river lake or something.

SPEAKER_00 23:31

Hudson River, New York.

SPEAKER_01 23:33

Yeah, that's where he landed. A river. But Tom Hanks's body of work is. I mean, it's like Tom Hanks and like in our era, like uh Robin Williams, they're up there. I would give those two a lot of credit.

SPEAKER_00 23:50

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 23:52

Mm-hmm. You're like, I don't know who these people are.

SPEAKER_00 23:54

I agree. Robin Rums is in a lot of good stuff. He's in Robots Incorporated, which is this really trashy, what's it called, animated film. And I watched it with my girlfriend, and she was like, you have to watch this movie. This is what I watched growing up. And I watched it, I was like, wow, this is probably the worst Robin Williams performance ever. And it's not even because he's bad, it's because the movie itself is really, really bad. But like I've seen his other films and they're super good, you know. What Patches Oh, Patch Adams. Patch Adams is super, super, super good. Not much.

SPEAKER_02 24:25

Waity means is a good one.

SPEAKER_00 24:26

I mean, the the secondary characters in Patch Adams are good. That's what makes really good. He's super good in Deadpool with Society of.

SPEAKER_02 24:32

How about It's a Wonderful Life?

SPEAKER_00 24:34

Never seen it.

SPEAKER_02 24:35

I have to watch it every Christmas.

SPEAKER_00 24:37

Jimmy Stewart. Really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:39

Black and white.

SPEAKER_00 24:40

I love Jimmy Stewart.

SPEAKER_01 24:41

Do you?

SPEAKER_00 24:42

I used to have his accent like down all the way, but I haven't I haven't listened to him in a while.

SPEAKER_02 24:47

Another one of his movies came up on this list. Rear windows. Yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 24:51

Rear window is super, super, super, super, super good.

SPEAKER_02 24:54

It is.

SPEAKER_00 24:54

And he's also really good in what is it, Vertigo with Kim Novak? Yes. Jimmy Stewart's a really good uh one-dimensional actor, I would say. He has one character, but he plays it really good in every single thing he does.

SPEAKER_02 25:06

And he's not, I wouldn't say he's overly attractive, but his voice could suck me in. I don't care him.

SPEAKER_00 25:11

He's good.

SPEAKER_02 25:12

He is so it's a wonderful life, is the it's him and Donna Reed. And it's one of those where he, you know, an angel comes to him as one of those like that.

SPEAKER_00 25:20

The movie was like, every time a bell rings, an angel, that's the movie.

SPEAKER_02 25:23

That's the one thing I can't stand in the movie. I love the whole movie except that little girl. Her voice just kills me. Every time a bell rings, and her name is Zuzu.

SPEAKER_00 25:32

That's not a good name.

SPEAKER_02 25:34

Well, she's living it.

SPEAKER_00 25:35

Wow. Yeah, Jimmy Stewart's a good everything.

SPEAKER_02 25:39

Mm-hmm. Love him. Then there's one more on here, Psycho. Never seen. I know. That's my girl crush's mama in the show.

SPEAKER_00 25:46

So there's two Hitchcock movies on here? Yeah. Wow. I know. And neither of them are the birds.

SPEAKER_02 25:52

Neither one of them are the birds. I know. That shocked me.

SPEAKER_00 25:54

Because the birds is good. And you know what's cool about the birds is they used real birds.

SPEAKER_02 25:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 25:59

And the blonde in the movie actually suffered psychological trauma because she got attacked by birds.

SPEAKER_01 26:06

Interesting. I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_02 26:07

Didn't you say a bunch of birds showed up here?

SPEAKER_00 26:09

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:10

Who scared you like all over your deck and stuff, eyeing you through the window?

SPEAKER_00 26:13

Yeah, there's sometimes when birds are just evil. Most of the time, birds they'll sing along, they go on their branch, they fly away. And then sometimes a bird looks you right in the eyes, and after doing that, they dive bomb.

SPEAKER_02 26:25

And then they That's why Ruby wants to come for your birthday. She wants to eat your face. No maybe.

SPEAKER_00 26:32

There's there's some specific type of weather that happens like maybe only three times a year.

SPEAKER_02 26:37

Well, did that freak you out?

SPEAKER_01 26:38

Were they like on the trees and stuff too? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I have pictures you can post on our let's line Brendan and Stacey stuff. I have pictures of them like pecking at the window like they're trying to get in our room. That's a horror movie waiting to happen. And they're big, ugly birds. And they were not intimidated by people. That's the scary thing. Huh. You know, most birds are skittish and like, oh, I have to go, somebody's coming. And these birds were like they look you in the eyeball and be like, I got you, I coming in there. But it's crazy. But uh they weren't flying in on me, but I mean they broke screens and I mean, oh my god. Like they were trying to pick at your head, eat your eyeballs. And I'm alive. It's scary. But I survived. I survived Bird Gate.

SPEAKER_02 27:33

Alright. Well, that was kind of fun going over musicals and movies, and I'm gonna have to watch Ben Her, maybe. I don't know. I know we have homework for Scout too. He's gotta watch Victor Victoria.

SPEAKER_00 27:44

Have y'all watched any Dracula movies?

SPEAKER_02 27:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:47

Which one? Battle Lagosi or the Coppola version with Gary Oldman.

SPEAKER_02 27:51

Well, yeah, of course I saw that one. No.

SPEAKER_00 27:54

The one with Oldman and Keanu Reeves is good.

SPEAKER_02 27:56

It is good. I want to say it was Nosferatu.

SPEAKER_00 27:59

Hmm. Really? Yes. Which one? Nosferatu is so good. The original, the black and white. Yeah, it's old. 1929. Yeah, the secret, the secret trivia about that, so Brahm Stoker's wife, after Brahm Stoker died, sued the creators of the original Nosferatu film. And we're like, it was like, you can't make this film. It's complete ripoff. And I think her name was Isabella or Elizabeth. Elizabeth Stoker. She was like, we're gonna burn every single copy of the original Nosferatu. Really? She like had like a court order to do that. And the only reason we can watch the original 1929 German Nosferatu is because there was like two to three super hardcore like cinema nerds in Germany who like hid away their film tape of the original Nosferatu. Good. You are a vessel of knowledge. And that's the only reason we can see the original version in black and white. If they didn't hide that away, it would have been burnt. And then the 1970 version by Werner Herzog, which is so, so good. That's one of my favorite movies, and the new 2024 version with Alexander Skarsgaard and Nicholas Holt and Lily Rose Depp also would know that happened. Because those are both remakes of that movie, which is technically a remake of the original Dracula.

SPEAKER_02 29:12

Yeah, I was waiting for that one to drop.

SPEAKER_01 29:14

Alright, well, that was fun. It is fun. And Scout, at your knowledge of everything in the world at your young age, I know. I feel like it's baffles me.

SPEAKER_02 29:24

I know. I'm baffled. Do you feel like you could get a top ten at anything?

SPEAKER_01 29:28

And he'd be like, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:30

Yeah. Top ten bananas.

SPEAKER_01 29:31

I know them all. I know. You would be like, yeah, there's plantains. Yeah. There's yellow bananas. There's green bananas. Yeah. I just feel like there's sweet potato bananas. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 29:43

I don't know. I feel like you could look at a banana and tell us where it came from. I know, but it has been fun. So we'll definitely have to have you back again for another round. Absolutely. And especially the more you write, the more we want. Yes. So y'all don't forget this name.
