The episode’s April Showers rain motif finds its perfect match in The Crow (1994), Alex Proyas’s gothic superhero revenge film. Brandon Lee stars as musician Eric Draven, murdered with his fiancée, Shelly, the night before their wedding. One year later, a crow guides Eric out of his grave and back into a devastated Detroit to punish the gang responsible. Michael Wincott’s Top Dollar rules that underworld, while Ernie Hudson’s Sergeant Albrecht and young Sarah give Eric human connections beyond vengeance.
Henrique and David trace Eric’s pursuit of Tin Tin, Funboy, T-Bird and Skank through the pawnshop explosion, fiery crow symbol and chaotic nightclub showdown. The cathedral finale turns the film’s rain, gargoyles and lightning into comic-book spectacle as Eric confronts Top Dollar and transforms Shelly’s suffering into justice. The hosts find the story deliberately simple but emotionally potent: grief fuels the mission, friendship keeps Eric human and the conviction that real love survives death gives the violence its soul.
Proyas’s music-video background and Dariusz Wolski’s desaturated photography create a rain-soaked world of miniatures, blue-gray shadows and red accents unlike any other superhero movie. The Cure’s “Burn” anchors a soundtrack inseparable from the film’s legacy, while comic creator James O’Barr’s Joy Division and Cure influences carry into the adaptation. The discussion also maps major comic changes: Eric becomes a musician instead of a mechanic, Top Dollar becomes a crime boss, Sarah and Albrecht expand, and the crow itself becomes Eric’s supernatural power source.
Production history moves beyond rumors of a cursed film to documented chaos, including a hurricane, punishing schedules, numerous accidents and cost-cutting. The hosts carefully explain Brandon Lee’s fatal prop-firearm accident and why production pressure can never excuse skipping safety checks. They also cover the body doubles and early digital compositing used to complete Lee’s scenes, the roughly $23 million budget and $50 million theatrical gross, and alternate Eric Draven possibilities involving River Phoenix, Christian Slater and Johnny Depp.
One host’s lifelong bond began with a flea-market VHS bought alongside From Dusk Till Dawn; the other remembers seeing The Crow theatrically with his older sister and hearing its soundtrack throughout the house. Their recorded reaction to the 2024 remake—after one host watched it three times—only sharpens their appreciation for Lee’s humor, athleticism and humanity. One calls the original essential viewing and at least a rental; the lifelong fan gives its action, music and lasting emotional power an emphatic buy-it verdict.

Rolling on both also is it as what it?

12
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.400
Uh is? What it is? That's a great way to

13
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.239
start the show. I mean, as if it wasn't enough

14
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.120
that I have to put a warning at the beginning

15
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.760
that if anyone has recently watched American History X, why

16
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.519
is it aimed to be prepared for your hair cut every.

17
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.599
Time I shave my head? That that's the joke?

18
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.719
Well, first of all, I mean you answered your question

19
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.400
with the every time because you do it, You do

20
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.879
it enough that you know a good joke is worth remembering.

21
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.239
Yeah, but this was kind of a mental health shave

22
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:43.040
this time around.

23
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:46.560
Uh do I dare?

24
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.040
I mean I'm not going to go into it, wonder. No,

25
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.000
I'm not going to go into it much this time.

26
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.040
Okay, because I mean, like, in general, shaving your head

27
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:55.280
for mental health is not.

28
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:57.480
Man It was an episode. No, I was on, was

29
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:58.719
in a manic episode.

30
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:01.359
This is the first time hearing about it.

31
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:01.439
No.

32
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.560
I texted you right after it happened, when I said,

33
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.840
am I being Have I been off to you lately?

34
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.120
Oh? Well, no, there's that. But you didn't say I

35
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.080
shaved my head in a manic episode?

36
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:13.199
No, because I mean I did it didn't really have

37
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.319
a reason to say that just yet, So.

38
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:19.479
You saved it for now when I was trying to

39
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.159
politely banter about your.

40
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.800
Haircut basically, yeah, sure.

41
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.680
I mean if I had known that you shaved your

42
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.479
head out of a moment of like of like a

43
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.400
mental struggle, I probably wouldn't have made a joke about

44
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.680
you looking like a skinhead from American history X, at

45
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.759
least not so immediately. Yeah, I might have tried to

46
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:40.800
like cushion it.

47
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.319
I did also make a Facebook post that said, sometimes

48
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:45.319
you have to shave your head and clean your apartment

49
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:46.800
and then all about mental health.

50
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:49.919
I know if only I, I and I should have

51
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.199
read it. I wasn't doing anything over the weekend.

52
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:53.400
I was.

53
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.639
I was definitely on the on the web the whole time.

54
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.520
I mean I did see that you were cleaning your apartment.

55
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:05.120
Yeah, which definitely needed it. And who doesn't, well my

56
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.199
my situation. So basically what led what led to me

57
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:13.280
getting rid of my hair was a combination of I

58
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.319
had my six month review at work and then also

59
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.439
on top of that too, like I had been struggling.

60
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:21.199
I mean, as as I said on the show before,

61
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.520
I'd been struggling with with what to do with my hair,

62
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.599
and when it wasn't for anything of lack of not

63
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.759
having solutions, it was lack of action.

64
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.199
You you refuse to own a hair brush?

65
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.280
Yeah, well no I own a hair brush now like

66
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.319
I owned I own a hair brush. It's more so

67
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.840
like it didn't didn't buy a hair dryer, didn't change

68
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.719
my shower routine at all. I was I was in

69
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.919
a very depressive state on and off for a bit,

70
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:48.520
and it was just genuinely no guidance, like no, no, no,

71
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.879
no path for me to go on. So I was

72
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:54.439
just going loosey goosey, which when I had my six

73
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.319
month review, that was brought up, and I was honest

74
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.159
with my boss on that matter too, because my boss

75
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.919
is an awesome person and she is a cancer survivor.

76
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.800
She's genuinely like one of the best bosses I've ever had.

77
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:09.360
And she expressed concern like it wasn't even it wasn't

78
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.199
even about work. It was it was mainly just like, hey,

79
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.879
not even out here, not even in there, like you know,

80
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.160
are you are you okay? I'm concerned, was like basically

81
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.360
how she started. And I straight up told her, I

82
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:23.839
was just like, you know, I just have felt very off,

83
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.600
and I mean, there's no other easier way to say that.

84
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:31.319
It was simply that. So sure, when I got out

85
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.480
of the meeting, it was it was a combination of

86
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.439
told her that I was going to absolutely try to

87
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.680
do better obviously, and I mean, and she was very

88
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.839
receiving to the information and also like had feedback for

89
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:45.879
it was like giving me mental health podcasts and like

90
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.199
some stuff that she listened to as well. So it

91
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.399
was a really good meeting. But when I got home,

92
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.240
I was like, what's the one thing that I could

93
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.680
possibly do that would show her that I not only

94
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:57.720
heard her, but also that I'm like taking what she

95
00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:58.759
said to attention, and.

96
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.759
You were like killing animeahborhood cat.

97
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.879
Kill a neighborhood cat. Indeed, No, but no, no it was,

98
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.800
and I can I can say it on on here

99
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:09.240
for the first time. That like the when I took

100
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.600
the when I took my razor to my head and

101
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.360
did that initial just stripe down the middle, which is

102
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:18.600
usually how I start. It's instantly just felt better, just

103
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.839
instantly felt the electric razor like clipper clippers. Okay, first,

104
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:24.639
not like a straight razor.

105
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.720
I think it was a straight razor, I thought, but

106
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.240
I was like, not like a shaving.

107
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.399
Like electric electric clippers, And it was just that initial

108
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.399
down the middle just immediately fell off my shoulders and

109
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.519
then you know, ten minutes later I was looking in

110
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.279
the mirror and I was just like, fuck, I feel

111
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:39.959
so much better.

112
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.519
The freedom from being skunked. That's the term that like,

113
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:49.360
especially like cranks. Well, but but just any shave right

114
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:50.680
down the middle was cold sunk.

115
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.240
Yeah, yeah, but no, it was when I say a

116
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.120
manic episode, it was mainly I had texted several friends

117
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.879
you included, and had been had you andly asked like,

118
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.079
how have I been the last few months? I mean, honestly,

119
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:06.879
most of twenty twenty five where we're you know, as

120
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.160
we're recording this, we're rapping towards the end of April,

121
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.079
we now, so, I mean we're almost into five months

122
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:15.319
into the year, and it's been it's been a struggle.

123
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.519
But when I took the clippers to my hair and

124
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.879
also decided that I was going to take my Friday

125
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.959
off and clean my apartment topp to bottom, which is

126
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.319
what I did, and then the next day also went

127
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.720
and got a chore like chart basically like to put

128
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.079
on my fridge and like keep myself in a routine

129
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.079
because that's what I need. That's what I came to

130
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:35.959
the conclusion of was that if I don't have a

131
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.839
routine and just go at it, Lucy Goosey, I will

132
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.560
lose my fucking mind because I just don't have any

133
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.839
balance and I will not put my feet to the

134
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.680
fire on action if unless it unless it needs to be.

135
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.240
And that was kind of a wake up of just

136
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.720
being like depression hairstyle whatever we want to call it

137
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.000
at this point, like it was, I didn't do anything

138
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.680
with it. I picked it out, I you know, shampooed

139
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.160
it and everything. When I showered, didn't call barber, didn't

140
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.639
even try until literally that day I tried to get

141
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.879
into I called my text, had like gone through like

142
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.759
three of them, like right or after my meeting, had

143
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.240
gotten on the website of a couple of them and

144
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.680
checked none of them had openings because it was good Friday.

145
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.399
It was Easter weekend, so everybody who had appointments for.

146
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:17.920
Everybody was giving their hairs up for lent.

147
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:22.519
Yeah, I was giving their up for lent. But no, yeah,

148
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.079
I mean it was just you. You've made the comment

149
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.120
that I've shaved my head before. Yeah, I like, I

150
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.360
I've gotten pretty damn good at it at this point,

151
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.199
because I don't think you can really fuck it up.

152
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.120
Oh okay, that's what that was my look. When you

153
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.199
said you gotten pretty good. I was like, yeah, but yeah, yeah,

154
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:36.480
I can't.

155
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.600
You can't really fuck that up unless you just miss splashes,

156
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:40.759
which I did a couple, but I plucked those on

157
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.160
the drive too, on the drive to pick one, I mean,

158
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.240
fair enough, not like patches, Like it was just like

159
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.920
a few stray hairs like behind my ear that I'd missed. Yeah, yeah,

160
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.560
but yeah, no, it was I me on this show

161
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.800
right now, has probably felt the best I have and

162
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.720
in a couple of months. Honestly, like it's just I

163
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.199
This past weekend has been a refresh for me looking

164
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.720
at my apartment as a whole in regards to like

165
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.079
cleaning it. I had been looking at dust bunnies. I

166
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.439
had been looking at like, you know, just stuff in

167
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.079
the corners and whatnot, and had been like, yeah, I

168
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.399
should get to that. You and I share a similarity

169
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.399
though that sometimes when I look at something that needs

170
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:19.639
to be done cleaning wise, I'm like, that's gonna take

171
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.680
me all day and talk myself out of it.

172
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.639
Yeah. Yeah, adderall helps with that, I bet. But but

173
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:29.439
I mean, but instead I work all day. Yeah, uh sometime,

174
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:31.959
I mean my average days could be twelve hours or

175
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.320
more and I'll see the mess and be like Jesus,

176
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.360
I wish I had an hour. Yeah, Like I would

177
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.799
kill to have that hour to clean that. That's been

178
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.440
a big change since I started ADHD treatment. Yeah, has been.

179
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.200
I used to just completely avoid it. I just be like, ah,

180
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.120
I forget it. Now I'm just like, ah, if only

181
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.679
I didn't always fill my cup with work.

182
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:54.200
I get that.

183
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.799
Which, uh, It's it's hard to explain I was talking

184
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:00.799
to somebody the other day. Not to steal your thunder,

185
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:03.679
but I was talking to a friend. I think it

186
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.240
was actually Michelle I was talking to about it. But

187
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:10.039
I mentioned that the way I live is I wake up,

188
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:14.559
I get out of bed, and then within two or

189
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.879
three minutes, I am in my office and I'm fully

190
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.000
in work mode. And she was just mortified. She was

191
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:23.799
just kind of like, how, And I was like, I

192
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.039
don't know how. It's it's just what you do. It's

193
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:27.919
it's my thing, that's.

194
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:29.879
Your routine, that is your routine.

195
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.879
Well, sure, sure, and and but most people, you know,

196
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.320
they have like a little bit of a transition time

197
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:43.000
from a wake to work, you know, the old cliche

198
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.159
like reading the funny pages and drinking your cup of coffee.

199
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.559
Do you think that you go directly to it because

200
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.480
you just see your workload as never ending.

201
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.919
No, it's because it is never Yeah. I mean no, no, no,

202
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.000
I was just being silly, but no, no, I mean

203
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.720
that's part of it. I'm obsessed. I was actually the

204
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:05.480
other day I was watching Top five. I'd love that movie,

205
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.840
the Chris Rock movie. I was rewatching it and he mentioned,

206
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:12.120
you know, as an alcoholic, how he was at a

207
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:14.120
restaurant and he saw a guy just leave his beer

208
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.000
half of drink on the table, and he was like, man,

209
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:19.720
how do you do that? And that made me think

210
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:25.360
of the story in Stephen King's autobiography on writing about

211
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.879
how he had to at the end of every night

212
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:29.759
he had to pour all the beers left down the

213
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:31.799
drain because he couldn't sleep if there were beers in

214
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.240
the house undrank, and I was like, man, that sucks

215
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.600
to be that addicted. And I was in the middle

216
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.240
of an incredible battle with my printer, with my disc printer,

217
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.679
which is really important to a major facet of my business.

218
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:46.919
Was this before or after you had run doss to

219
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:47.360
get it to a.

220
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.720
This was during during? Yeah, this was during And I

221
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:52.360
had that moment where I was like, man, that would

222
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:53.759
be really awful. And then I stopped dead, and I

223
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.679
was like, could I sleep if this problem we're still

224
00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:58.120
going on?

225
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.879
Maybe maybe I wouldn't.

226
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.440
I wouldn't be willing to say I couldn't, because I've

227
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.200
definitely had points where, like I've been working because problem

228
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.600
solving is a massive part of my job, I've had

229
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:11.519
moments where, you know, at about one thirty in the morning,

230
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.000
I'm like, I gotta go to bed. I'm gonna hit

231
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:15.960
it tomorrow. I'm not like, you know, I'm not like

232
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.559
literally manic about work often, you know, but last week

233
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.519
was extra crunched because the plan was for the week

234
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.360
to be easy, and then I had the audity show

235
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.480
get tacked on, which I'm happy about. I mean, it

236
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:34.840
was a really cool experience. But because of that, then

237
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:39.799
the week became normal load and then when problems persisted

238
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:44.240
or joined the call, then it became you're screwed. You've

239
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.000
got to work as hard and fast as long as

240
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.679
you can, and that is never fun. And I promised

241
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:52.600
myself I was going to step away from that, because

242
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.480
I did that in October and November and in most

243
00:11:55.480 --> 00:12:00.440
of January and then leading up to Wasteland, and you know,

244
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.080
so most of March was that as well. So I'm

245
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.919
trying to ease up on that, sure, But it's important

246
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.240
to keep in mind that a routine is very important,

247
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:19.000
especially if you're relatively solo living. When I lived like

248
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:22.919
all on my own in Jersey, I like my weekend.

249
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:26.240
I had to have like a regimented weekend or else

250
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:32.080
it would just suck. And like when I first started

251
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:35.360
working for myself, the routine was pretty much non existent

252
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.840
because I didn't even know what the days would be like.

253
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:42.240
Now things have grown to a point where there's so

254
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:46.080
much to do and there's always something that could be done.

255
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.960
It used to be that I would sometimes spend two

256
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:55.559
or three days just generating a new project or new

257
00:12:55.720 --> 00:13:00.279
thing to work on. And now I do that mind set.

258
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.919
I do that mindset while I'm already on something else

259
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:08.080
because there's so much to do. And it's a blessing

260
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:10.399
and a curse, because I mean I was also like

261
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.279
super broke all the time during that period where I

262
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:15.240
could like run to the movies three days a week, Yeah,

263
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.320
I was. I was like dead ass broke. I would

264
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:20.440
literally be like pushing together quarters to see if I

265
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.000
could get a coke at the theater because I'd be like,

266
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.559
oh my god, like you know, so now it's like

267
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.240
I don't have I could I get whatever I wanted

268
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.399
the movie theater if I can find the time to go,

269
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:37.240
So you know it. But my point is you suck, no, no, no,

270
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:40.320
but no. My point is like, so do you feel

271
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.480
like your routine did you feel like you had a

272
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:47.000
routine going and you lost it like from I know.

273
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:50.320
I'll be I'll be perfectly honest. When when I went

274
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.320
when my partner and I split up last year, it

275
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.919
was it was a situation to where we we we

276
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.200
had had a routine obviously, of course, and I've got

277
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:03.840
my routines in the sense of like you know, you

278
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.879
and I record on Tuesdays. I've got stuff that happens

279
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:11.039
like usually Thursdays with another podcast or with friends or whatnot,

280
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.279
and then Friday with you guys. So it's like, it's

281
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.480
not that I don't necessarily have a routine. I don't

282
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.200
have a routine for like you perfectly made like said it,

283
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:23.000
my solo time, My solo time is spent a lot

284
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.519
that was spent a lot of me sitting at my

285
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.320
apartment or thinking about being at my apartment, being free

286
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.320
at my apartment to do all these things, and then

287
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.759
overthinking every single fucking thing I could do and doing

288
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:34.559
nothing instead.

289
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:38.639
David, this is a family show. No, there's a thing

290
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:40.159
and I'm trying to remember the name of it that

291
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.200
I was. I learned about when I first got my diagnosis,

292
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.600
and it was called like revenge relaxation or something along

293
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.480
those talk about Yeah, and I think that's a thing

294
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:52.879
that a lot of people deal with, where they'll have

295
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.720
some time to themselves and then decide that they're not

296
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:01.000
doing a good enough job doing something for fun.

297
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:04.080
It's not uncommon for me to pull I don't want

298
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:05.559
to say an all nighter, but I mean it's not

299
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.080
uncommon for me. Like so, for example, Friday, when when

300
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.559
the guys left my place, which is little after twelve

301
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.879
thirty or so, I saw seven am.

302
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:17.279
Geez, yeah, you have had that's been a problem in

303
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:18.600
the past that we've talked about.

304
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:20.399
And that was and that was even after this, but

305
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.279
that was mainly just the fact it was just like,

306
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:24.960
had a day off, you know, took the day off

307
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.519
and clean. The guys come over, smoked cigars, eight pizza,

308
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:29.480
watch movies, and then they left, and I was just like,

309
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:31.240
you know, I want to watch a couple things, and

310
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:34.240
I did. But then I did realize, like after a while,

311
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.480
I was literally pushing myself to like stay awake for

312
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:38.080
this movie, and it was just like, dude, I can

313
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:40.639
go to bed anytime and finish this tomorrow. Well it's

314
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:41.759
even weirder today.

315
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.320
It's even harder when you think about like you don't

316
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.519
work Saturdays anymore. No, so you could literally get up

317
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.159
whenever you want on Saturday and just pick up whatever

318
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:52.480
you want exactly, but you kind of push yourself. Yeah,

319
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:55.519
And that's something I've been really trying to fix on

320
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.799
my end, is like I have a really hard time

321
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:01.919
with deciding what I'll do with the little bit of

322
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.159
free time I get, Yeah, and then I'll end up

323
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.000
wasting most of it, and then I'll be mad.

324
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:06.679
Yeah.

325
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:09.799
So I've been pushing myself to just like I have

326
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:12.240
to watch some like I just this is what I'm doing. Yeah,

327
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:13.840
there's not a debate.

328
00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:16.879
I basically. So along with along with the cleaning routine

329
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:18.759
that I made for myself, I've also made it so

330
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:21.399
that I that I make myself read a chapter of

331
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.799
whatever book i'm reading a day, and it doesn't have

332
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:25.399
to be just a chapter, meaning you know, if I'm

333
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:27.840
reading and want to read more, obviously I can, but

334
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:30.600
I need to have just that separation at least you

335
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:34.080
get my phone out of my hands, get anything distraction

336
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:35.960
wise way, and just like focus on my book because

337
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.919
I love reading, and this this year especially, like I've

338
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.200
been reading more than I have in the past, which

339
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.440
has been enjoyable naturally, though this like last month, I've

340
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:46.320
barely touched my Freendil one ray book and I'm in

341
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:51.080
the last like fifty pages. So I mean, it's it's

342
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.000
hard for me to pinpoint exactly, you know, what is

343
00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:57.519
causing it. It's just I mean, it could be a

344
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.840
clump of things at this point. But what I sole like,

345
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:04.319
what I solely realized in all of this in the

346
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:06.720
past week, is just that I have to have some

347
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.640
kind of schedule. I have to be able to have

348
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:11.200
something that I can look at and be like, Okay,

349
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:13.279
I need to get that done and that done, and

350
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.839
then you know, also making progress for myself on whether

351
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:18.839
keeping my apartment clean or just like you know, tasks

352
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:21.279
that I need to have done. That's been the hardest

353
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.359
thing is just kind of figuring out what's gonna get

354
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.799
me to do that. And luckily, I am now three

355
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:28.480
days into having this short chart up and I have

356
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:29.880
not missed a single day of my chores.

357
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:30.400
That's good.

358
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:30.759
Yeah.

359
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:35.200
See, It's funny because from my perspective, I'm envious of

360
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:39.079
your work schedule because that would anchor every day or

361
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:43.720
five days a week to me. So it's interesting to

362
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:48.839
hear you know, somebody struggle with with constructive time for

363
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:50.440
just the evenings and weekends.

364
00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:53.759
I think it's because that combating the fact that I'm

365
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:55.440
also in night out. I mean, you know, it's not

366
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:58.920
hard for me to stay up, like I am nocturnal

367
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:02.359
as far as I'm concerned. So I mean, it's not

368
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.759
hard for me to stay up. It's literally harder for

369
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:06.079
me to sleep, which is why I sit on the

370
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:07.599
show a while back. Like you know, I've started trying

371
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:09.079
to be in bed at ten, so that way, at

372
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.400
least I'm laying down, and for the most part, that

373
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:13.559
has been working out. But like when I choose to

374
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:16.359
stay up, oh, I will go as long as my

375
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:19.039
body will let me, or as long as I'll make

376
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:19.920
my body.

377
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:22.319
Go for that matter. Yeah, I was gonna say, I mean, I.

378
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:24.200
Mean, because Jeff and I drank a cup of coffee,

379
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:26.640
like when we started long Good Friday, and so I mean,

380
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:28.759
like nine thirty we each had a cup of coffee.

381
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.359
But that wouldn't move well. But that wouldn't that wouldn't

382
00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:32.799
carry me to seven am.

383
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:36.039
It could carry you further than you realize though, Like

384
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.640
you know, you know that the experts recommend you shouldn't

385
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.799
consume caffeine after like three or four pm.

386
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:42.400
What do they know.

387
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:46.119
I'm just saying. I'm just saying, like that's their their recommendation,

388
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:49.319
So having it at like eight thirty at night, that's

389
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:49.799
pretty late.

390
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.240
Yeah, but I also wasn't planning to go sleep any

391
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:52.920
times soon too.

392
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:54.799
Well yeah, and there you go.

393
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.319
Yeah, but no, I mean it was it's it's been

394
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:02.559
a lot better the last few days. I genuinely am

395
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.039
trying to stick to this because I want to, and

396
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:08.200
it's like I have not had that feeling in a while,

397
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:11.240
and I don't I'm if that sounds sad, it probably is.

398
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:13.960
But at the same time, it's just like I've had

399
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.200
a really tough twenty twenty five so far, and it

400
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:19.480
really hasn't even been that much of it except for me.

401
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:21.400
We're almost a halfway point, like two months away from

402
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:25.160
it at this point. But like, not even a lot

403
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:28.680
has happened in regards of like negative stuff. It's just

404
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.240
been changes, and I think the changes have just thrown

405
00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:34.440
me off. Well, you're a warrior, oh big times.

406
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:36.559
I know I didn't think. I didn't think you didn't

407
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:40.160
know that. I'm just saying, but oh, now, you're worried

408
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:43.599
about what I meant by that. That makes sense, But

409
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:49.359
but you know, just having that mentality of of everything

410
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.400
that comes up could be a new big problem. Yeah, Well,

411
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:57.599
whether they are or not, the way your mind and

412
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.960
your body take it will be as if it is. Yeah,

413
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:04.839
And that's something to consider as well, is you know,

414
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:10.319
you have to try to find perspective on your problems

415
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:13.599
as they come. And that sounds easy, and it kind

416
00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:18.599
of is, except if you over diminish your problems, then

417
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:21.839
you'll just have a horrible time, yeah, because you'll be like,

418
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.319
I'm really worried because I'm stupid and I shouldn't be worried,

419
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:27.839
and then you're beating yourself up instead of having a

420
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:29.640
healthier mentality towards your problem.

421
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:34.559
What's harder for me, and what really does become the

422
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:38.000
biggest obstacle sometimes is that I love to help people.

423
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:39.599
I love to be there for people as much as

424
00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:42.799
I can be and everything, and in doing so, that

425
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:45.680
will make me cut pieces out of me that I

426
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.240
should probably hang on to for my own spoons for

427
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:50.960
that matter, And then I can't really hold on to

428
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:54.240
helping people if I'm not well myself, and like that's

429
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:56.079
that's kind of been to come to Jesus. It's just

430
00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:58.799
been like I don't I don't have the spoons to

431
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:01.920
deal with a friend messaging me sometimes, and I hate

432
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:04.720
it because it's just like I can't be like, I don't,

433
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:06.359
I can't deal with this right now, even though I

434
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:08.960
absolutely can, and I mean that's my right, but as

435
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:12.079
as David, I can't. Like it's hard for me to

436
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:14.240
tell somebody like I just can't help you right now.

437
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:17.960
Well, and it's hard if the habit has become that

438
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:20.680
they come to you to ask you for things, yeah, often, Yeah,

439
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:22.319
because that's kind of the catch twenty two.

440
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:25.559
Luckily, I don't have really many of those. I did.

441
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.039
I mean I did back in the day, I remember, yeah,

442
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:29.960
But like I mean that that has kind of been

443
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.400
cut out that that was more so twenties than it

444
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.960
has been thirties, luckily, because it's gotten to a point

445
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.680
where it's just like if you if you're in your

446
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:39.119
thirties now and you're asking me for money every week

447
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.359
or you know, every month or anything, I don't know

448
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:42.240
what I'm supposed to do.

449
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:46.720
I mean, Jesus Christ, that was yeah, that that was

450
00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:48.079
That was a couple of things.

451
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:49.960
Yeah, that's not okay, No, it wasn't. And I had

452
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:51.599
told that person. When that person got mad at me

453
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:53.480
for telling them, I was just like, we're no longer

454
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:56.799
friends because this is not Yeah you're you're not You're

455
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:57.839
not receiving me on this.

456
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:01.599
Hell no, No, that's like that's way the way the line.

457
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:04.880
So I mean that, you know, it's it's been a

458
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:08.359
really really good couple of days. I'm I'm holding onto

459
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:10.519
this feeling, not in the sense of how long can

460
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:12.799
I make this last? How do I make this last?

461
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:14.880
Is how I'm feeling right now, because you know, normally

462
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:16.519
you feel happy and you're just like, oh man, I

463
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:19.319
hope this, you know, last a while. I'm feeling good

464
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:21.640
to a point where it's like if I keep this going,

465
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:24.759
then I can at least stay focused on this and

466
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:26.559
make the progress and build off.

467
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:28.240
Of that that makes sense.

468
00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:29.680
And just have a regiment at that point too.

469
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:34.359
I mean, having something to focus on, having something to

470
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:39.480
keep you on track is very important, yeah, and very valuable. Yeah,

471
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:43.759
but yeah, it it sounds like, I mean, you've went

472
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:47.079
through a lot of changes, especially in the later half

473
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.920
of last year, so and it's going to make you

474
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:54.440
feel a certain way. As you head into the into

475
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:59.640
the anniversaries of multiple changes, you're going to feel a

476
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.960
certain I mean, I'm going through the anniversary of both

477
00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:04.480
of my dog's deaths right now. Yeah, and there's that

478
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:09.519
moment of just like wow, so much time already, and

479
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.759
you have to you have to find where to put that.

480
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:15.640
You know, you have to arrange the furniture of your

481
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:20.119
mind and you don't want that furniture getting knocked over. No,

482
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.240
So it's a it's a challenging thing. I mean, I

483
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:26.200
appreciate that you're talking about it candidly, little annoyed because

484
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:27.880
I tried to see how you were doing earlier and

485
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:29.519
you just said fine, yeah.

486
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:33.640
Because so this is no offense to you. There are

487
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:35.920
there's times I want to talk about it, and there's

488
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:38.759
times I don't. And given you know, I'm not I'm

489
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:40.279
not going to say what I was just telling you

490
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:42.079
out in the in the living room about what what Well.

491
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:44.400
That was very that was very yeah, yeah, no no detail.

492
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:46.240
But what I'm saying is that also that kind of

493
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:49.559
brought me to where it's just like, okay, like this

494
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.200
is something that like I've done all I can with it.

495
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.759
Now and I need to let it go. And that

496
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:55.079
was just kind of the thing where it's just like

497
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.759
me being like, Okay, you've helped the friend out, you've

498
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:00.200
done what you can. Stop dwelling on it, stop thinking

499
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:02.519
about it. If anything else comes of it, we'll deal

500
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:04.480
with it tomorrow. Don't think it, don't say it. Don't

501
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:05.680
think it, don't think it, don't say it.

502
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:06.240
Bye bye man.

503
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:09.079
So, but I mean, yeah, it's no, it's no offense

504
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:11.720
to you on that. I mean, And I know, I know,

505
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:13.960
I'm stubborn. I know, but there's also times that I

506
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:15.839
just genuinely don't want to talk about it, and then

507
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:17.880
there's times where it just pops out of me.

508
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:20.839
I understand that. It's just sometimes it comes with anger.

509
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:22.960
I get that, and that can be frustrated.

510
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:24.440
Yeah, I know, I absolutely get that.

511
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:30.160
So Luckily I I first studied anger management when I

512
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.880
was very young, and I'm pretty good at catching myself

513
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:36.720
once I'm pissed, and that helps a lot with I mean,

514
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:39.079
with all of my relationships in the world. Yeah, because

515
00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:41.319
when people I care about piss me off at first,

516
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:44.200
I almost never you know, fully snam I.

517
00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:45.759
Mean, and to be perfectly honest with you. I thought

518
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.079
the text had kind of given you an idea of

519
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:50.440
what I was going through, but you didn't know the

520
00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:51.160
after of that.

521
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.200
Yeah, and and I think it may have not been

522
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:58.559
very clear how taken away I was.

523
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:01.720
And that's one of the last it is in the

524
00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:04.160
sense of you hadn't when I sent that text. That

525
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:06.279
was Thursday, and you hadn't left yet, so that so

526
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:08.680
that was you haven't. Yeah, you and I haven't really

527
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:10.119
spoken much since then.

528
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:10.559
Sure.

529
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:13.039
Yeah, it was just a hell of a hell of

530
00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.440
a trip to pull together all at once.

531
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:16.880
Oh yeah, man, I understand.

532
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:21.279
No, I'm not saying you're you're denying that. But but

533
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:27.279
with that all being said, you probably need Jesus, Which

534
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:31.119
takes us to our movie that we just saw before

535
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:35.359
we came into the studio. We finally got to catch

536
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:43.519
Ryan Coogler's Sinners and overall really liked it a ton.

537
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:46.720
It feels like it's been a while since we had

538
00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:53.079
a vampire movie in the most in the most pure sense.

539
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.279
Of being a of being a well of being a

540
00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:58.880
successful vampire movie, or I.

541
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:01.680
Mean, like, it's not a Racula movie. No, it's not

542
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:05.839
a sequel, it's not a it's not it's original. It's

543
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:08.799
an original vampire concept. You know, it's a bunch of

544
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:12.440
vampires doing vampire stuff. Yeah, you know, like from Dusk

545
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:14.720
Till Dawn or Interview with the Vampire, which we're like,

546
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:16.519
although I think that was based on a book, but

547
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:19.119
it doesn't matter, no Interview.

548
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:20.480
Of the Vampire interview. Yeah.

549
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:22.400
But I mean, like, we had a lot of these

550
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:25.279
vampire things in the eighties and nineties, you know, Near

551
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:30.079
Dark and stuff like that, but we've had quite the

552
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.200
drought of successful vampire movies. Doesn't mean they weren't good.

553
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.880
I mean, we had Abigail, although technically that's loosely tied

554
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:40.200
into a Dracula universe thing, but that doesn't matter. It

555
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.440
was really good, but it didn't do well at the

556
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.039
box office. Yeah, and I got really curious and started

557
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:49.200
pulling up info. And it's been a really long time

558
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:52.480
since a non Dracula. Well, first of all, even with Dracula,

559
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:54.880
Dracula Untold was twenty fourteen. That was a big hit.

560
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:57.640
I was that it was not either, but I'm just saying, like,

561
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:00.119
but apparently that one was considered a hit. Yeah, but

562
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:01.839
then you had like No s Faratu, which is a

563
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:04.039
remake but it was a hit. And but before that,

564
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:07.519
like according to the research I was doing, like it

565
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:10.200
was Hotel Transylvania was like the biggest vampire movie that

566
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:13.759
mal and then Twilight. Yeah, so it's really cool to

567
00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:16.440
see Sinners right now. If it can keep the momentum going,

568
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:18.480
which it really looks like it is, yeah, it's going

569
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:19.200
to be a big hit.

570
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:21.480
It's got the best word of mouth that I've seen

571
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:24.279
of a horror movie in a while, because I like,

572
00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:26.359
I had non horror friends asking me if I'd seen

573
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:27.799
Centers yet, and I was just.

574
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:29.880
Like, the I do you have literal like horror friends?

575
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:31.839
They're just like ghouls and goblins.

576
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:34.279
I mean, you know it is, but yeah, No. I

577
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:36.319
had friends that normally don't go see the horror movies

578
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:38.160
that I go see or in general, and it was

579
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:39.839
just like, have you seen Sinners yet? And I was like, no,

580
00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:41.440
have you? And They're like I loved it, and it

581
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:43.759
was just like, Okay, this is this is something big

582
00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:46.599
And for those who aren't aware, it's uh, it's basically

583
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:49.759
about these two brothers that have got gotten out of Chicago.

584
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:53.559
There they're little uh like not I guess they I

585
00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:56.000
guess they worked for capone, is that what the idea was.

586
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:58.480
Well, they keep hinting that they were in organized crime,

587
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:00.920
but they would horror crime. They went to war and

588
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.160
then organized crime because this I forget the exact year

589
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:03.880
was nineteen thirty.

590
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:07.920
Yeah, and they've basically come back to their town. They're

591
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:11.920
buying this little mill it was a former mill, to

592
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:14.160
turn into a chery, to make it into a juke joint,

593
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:17.039
and then some vampires end up stumbling upon it one night.

594
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.799
Well, and it takes place in Mississippi during Jim Crow,

595
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:25.400
So there's segregation and a lot of hostility a lot

596
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:30.039
and the setting was really great. We didn't really get

597
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:32.799
a hint of vampire until about thirty minutes or so in.

598
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:35.440
Yeah, about thirty Yeah, I think you're right, Yeah, because

599
00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:37.440
the first the first appearance, and then from there I

600
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:39.720
just kind of even even with that first appearance, it

601
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:42.079
still takes like about an hour twenty for it to

602
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:44.240
really get into vampire territory.

603
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:44.319
Something like that.

604
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:47.920
Yeah, Because I mean it's a it's a period piece

605
00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:50.759
horror movie. Musical is the best way that I could

606
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:51.160
put it.

607
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:52.839
I mean, I wouldn't call it a musical, but it

608
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:55.720
has a few pretty big moments of a lot of

609
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:57.920
music numbers do well, and the theme is music. I mean,

610
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:01.160
the element the concept of like a fire starting for

611
00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:04.400
music is a very old concept. I mean goes way

612
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:09.160
back to like mozart Era and those two brothers. They

613
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:11.559
start their juke joint up and basically they have this

614
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:18.119
incredible almost seance transcendent performance yeah, at their juke joint,

615
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:21.839
which attracts these vampires to come and want to crash

616
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:22.319
the party.

617
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:22.640
Yep.

618
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:26.720
And it's it's really fun and spooky.

619
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.400
It goes places you don't expect it to. I would say, like,

620
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:32.960
not not so much like story wise, it's more so

621
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:36.880
like the musical element that carried even over to the

622
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:39.799
vampire side. I wasn't expected, oh like them performing to

623
00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:42.559
them performing. Yeah, that was That was really cool And

624
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:44.839
I really wouldn't consider that a spoiler much because I

625
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:46.519
mean that happens a lot.

626
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:49.519
The little moments of voodoo in there, yeah, were pretty

627
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:52.279
cool and interesting things really.

628
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:54.559
Moving minded me. A lot of idle wild meats from

629
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:57.000
us till Okay, Yeah, I can see that.

630
00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:58.799
I mean it definitely. It had tons of from dust

631
00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:01.119
till Dawn vibes. Yeah, going for me for.

632
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:02.359
Sure, especially the last thirty minutes.

633
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:05.799
Yeah, well, and we had like the main character is

634
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:07.960
a guitar the guitar player who kind of summons everything,

635
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:10.519
and he's the son of a preacher yea who's expected

636
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:11.359
to become a preacher.

637
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:11.680
Yep.

638
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:14.160
So you've got like a lot of those elements going

639
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:17.440
for it. It was pretty creepy. It had some great

640
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:18.160
jump scares.

641
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:18.440
Yeah.

642
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.079
I wouldn't consider it like super scary all the way through,

643
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:22.720
but it had some great scares.

644
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:25.000
It had some. It had some really good violence too,

645
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:27.000
I would say, especially towards the end of the siege,

646
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:29.200
like it was very violent. It was very violent at

647
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:30.519
that point especially.

648
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:32.039
No, but I mean like the the the blood spray,

649
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:36.519
it was. It was really crazy. And I thought overall

650
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:38.720
it was just it was a solid film. I wasn't

651
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:41.920
a huge fan of like the last fourth but it

652
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:44.559
wasn't bad. I just I just wasn't as into it

653
00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:46.720
as I was the rest of the film. And that's

654
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:50.799
a very minor critique because also the there's a mid

655
00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:54.359
credit sequence that is excellent and I think really ties

656
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:57.200
the film together even better. So don't be like the

657
00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:59.599
people sitting next to us who got up and left

658
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:02.960
you know. I guess they finally decided to go talk

659
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:03.799
somewhere else.

660
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:06.039
But were they talking the whole movie?

661
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:07.559
Ah, A bit, a bit.

662
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:10.279
And the guy seemed annoyed when I had to go through.

663
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:12.079
Yeah, he was annoyed when I did too. I was like,

664
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:14.960
it's not my fault, you have long legs, but no,

665
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:17.440
it was. It was a damn fine film. And one

666
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:19.680
thing that's really interesting is if this film becomes a

667
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:22.519
huge hit, and I want to mention and I did

668
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:24.640
not get this vibe from the trailers in the marketing.

669
00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:27.880
I did not get the vibe this was a big movie,

670
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:31.359
and it is. It clearly cost ninety to one hundred

671
00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:34.960
million dollars. But one of the really interesting things about

672
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:37.119
this film that they just started reporting about, I think

673
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:40.920
in Variety is Ryan Coogler. You know, he came off

674
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:45.400
of doing two Creed movies massive hits, and two Black

675
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:46.039
Panther movies.

676
00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:48.240
Mattered with Fruitvale Station, though with Michael B.

677
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.079
Jordan Oh yeah, nice h But so he's had four

678
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:54.880
monster hits in a very short span of time. Yeah,

679
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:59.680
And when he made this film, he basically chose his

680
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:03.000
own deal, and he made a deal that's really uncommon

681
00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:06.319
for movies this big. He gets a cut of gross

682
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:10.559
profits or not profits, just gross earnings, which, for those

683
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:14.119
who don't know, net means after expenses, gross means immediate.

684
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.319
So that means that from the moment tickets starts selling,

685
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:21.000
regardless of how much the movie's made, he begins to

686
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:23.559
see a portion. We don't know what percentage, but he

687
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:26.920
begins to see money. That is a big move. But

688
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:29.559
the even more surprising one was he was able to

689
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:32.279
make a deal with Warner Brothers that after twenty five years,

690
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:34.279
the film is going to revert back to him like

691
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.680
in its entirety. And that is something that filmmakers have

692
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:41.039
made those deals, but not at this scale, not with

693
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:44.680
a movie that costs one hundred million dollars. It's extremely unusual.

694
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:47.119
Yeah, and it's kind of made the industry panic a

695
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:49.319
little bit. From what I've read in the articles too.

696
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:50.920
I think that was just how they got us to

697
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:52.880
read it, Yeah, because I don't see why they'd be panicked.

698
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.200
It's like, well, you're afraid that somebody's gonna want to get.

699
00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:57.079
To see Ben Stiller go off on Variety by the way,

700
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:01.079
Why Because Variety had put up a article basically saying

701
00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:02.759
you know it's a huge hit, but it's got a

702
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:04.400
ninety million because it.

703
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.079
Made sixty some million, well against ninety the.

704
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:09.960
Advertising campaign and Stiller was just like, this is a

705
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:12.200
really fucked up way to say, like how this movie's

706
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:14.119
like a hit, Like the movie like this doesn't deserve

707
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:14.880
a headline like this.

708
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:17.079
Yeah, but they're trying to get you to read it.

709
00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:17.400
Yeah.

710
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:19.759
I mean, and when I saw the first box office,

711
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.119
I was like ah, And then when I saw the

712
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:24.319
next few days, I was like, Okay, no, it looks

713
00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:27.119
like it's gonna upswing really great. Yeah, because I'd like

714
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:28.720
this to be a very big hit because it was

715
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:31.839
a really great film. Yeah, it was surprisingly packed and

716
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.599
on a Tuesday night, So I think it'll do well.

717
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:38.480
I think if anybody is debating going to see it,

718
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:39.599
it's not really a debate.

719
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:41.839
This is a movie made for theaters. Oh sure, this

720
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:43.599
is a movie made for movie sized screens.

721
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:46.799
Ah. Well, they shot it in sixty five millimeter and

722
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:50.319
seventy millimeters, so it's I'm out. I mean, we saw

723
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:53.240
an XD look great. That looked really good. It was

724
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:55.880
a bit dark on purpose, yeah, Like it was a

725
00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:57.680
bit dark, and I think that served it.

726
00:33:57.799 --> 00:33:59.880
I think vampires only said one time, by the way.

727
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:02.200
I was surprised it was said one at all. Yeah,

728
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:05.079
I thought it wouldn't be said at all. So I

729
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:09.440
I really really dug Sinners, and I think I think

730
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:12.920
people should go see it, support it. I think it's

731
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:16.039
a it's gonna be a very interesting It's gonna be

732
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:19.320
interesting to see where things go from here with Ryan Coogler,

733
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:20.920
Like is he going to go back to making box

734
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:22.960
office hits or is he going to insist on making

735
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:26.679
original things now that are his because his four box

736
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:31.119
office hits were all other ip you know, Creed was

737
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:33.119
to take off of Rocky, and he did an incredible

738
00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:36.480
job of both of those, obviously Black Panthers Marvel. So

739
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:41.079
I'd be very curious to see what's next, assuming this

740
00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:43.239
trends the way it is, And I do think that

741
00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:45.840
it's very likely the word of mouth will push this

742
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:47.440
way over the top.

743
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:48.000
I would hope.

744
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:50.840
So, I mean it, I mean it worked for Knives Out.

745
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:54.519
Knives Out was a great film and it came back one.

746
00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:57.440
I'm so sorry what like I did, Glass Onning was

747
00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:58.960
a lot of fun and I want I want a

748
00:34:59.000 --> 00:34:59.800
third one already.

749
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:04.039
I don't know, right, you know, right, your congressman. So

750
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:11.119
but speaking of congressmen, oh, tonight's film Okay, No, I

751
00:35:11.199 --> 00:35:13.559
just I just was like we should probably segue. That's

752
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:16.719
fair so well, and not just because you know, we

753
00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:19.519
should get to the movie, but because this is a

754
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:23.599
you know, kind of a seminal movie for you today time.

755
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:29.360
So it's it's funny because our ages aren't massively different,

756
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:31.320
but but they're different enough that like, there are a

757
00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:33.920
lot of movies you really like that you weren't there

758
00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:37.679
when they first came into existence. And I was, yeah, yeah,

759
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:40.719
I mean I was what year was it, ninety three, four,

760
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:44.280
ninety four? Ye, so I would have been eight ish

761
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:48.719
somewhere in that neighborhood. So I remember the the in

762
00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:51.920
the moment pop culture, noess, I remember the news pieces,

763
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:55.599
I remember the commercials, and I remember the VHS releases

764
00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:57.760
of a lot of these as well, yea, like when

765
00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:01.239
they got pushed out. So tonight we're talking about nineteen

766
00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:04.440
ninety four's The Crow, Yes, as part of our wrapping

767
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:08.119
up the April Shower Showers. Yes, because in this film,

768
00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:09.440
it can't rain.

769
00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:11.639
All the time, but it fucking does almost.

770
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:14.679
Its damn near does so and this is a film

771
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:17.119
that I know you've wanted to bring onto the show. Yeah, you,

772
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:19.480
and honestly, you kind of just cheated so you can

773
00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:21.559
get two birthday picks out of doing this.

774
00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:23.320
I still do't even know my actual birthday picks. Go

775
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:25.679
to be it might be nothing but trouble, but we'll

776
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:26.079
find out.

777
00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:28.079
Oh I thought it would be. Uh, I'll always know

778
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:28.840
what you did last time.

779
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:30.960
No, that's that's your birthday pick for me.

780
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:33.719
You're right, I'll just make that my birthday pick.

781
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:36.679
There we go. Yeah, but no, I mean this was

782
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:41.440
this was a movie that I did not realize was

783
00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:44.880
going to honestly change my life. Like I mean, that's

784
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:48.360
the best way I can put it. Is because I

785
00:36:48.599 --> 00:36:51.599
remember being aware of this movie, and I remember how,

786
00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:52.920
and I'll tell and I'll talk a little bit more

787
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:54.440
about it when we get into how how I got

788
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:57.760
a hold of this movie. But this movie and From

789
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:00.199
Dusk Till Dawn ironically were bought the same day on

790
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:02.840
VHS and taken home, and I watched both of them

791
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:05.639
the same day, and Lo and behold got two of

792
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:07.960
my favorite movies of all time. But The Crow is

793
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:10.239
one that I could not tell you how many times

794
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:12.400
I've seen it at this point and getting busy.

795
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:13.800
It's sick, it's not sex.

796
00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:20.079
It's more than six. But I mean getting to see

797
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:21.960
it on the big screen last year around my birthday

798
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:24.960
was is an ultimate gift, and I mean it was.

799
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:27.519
It's just a movie that I have that I absolutely

800
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:30.280
have a lot to say about. But also it's become

801
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:32.639
a way of me to connect with a lot of

802
00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:33.519
people in my life too.

803
00:37:33.559 --> 00:37:37.760
Honestly, people have been murdered, people have been so it

804
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:38.760
makes sense, makes sense.

805
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:41.320
The Crow from nineteen ninety four is one hour and

806
00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:43.880
forty two minutes rate. It r for a great amount

807
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:46.559
of strong violence and language, and for drug use in

808
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:47.840
some sexuality.

809
00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:49.800
Well are you just gonna steamroll past? Or did you

810
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:50.679
want to watch this clip?

811
00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:52.239
You brother? Oh no, I'm I'm gonna get there. Okay,

812
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:54.639
I'm gonna get there, Storry, there's a place for it.

813
00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:56.199
Oh okay, Well, it'll be nice to know since on

814
00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:57.320
the one has I set you everything?

815
00:37:57.360 --> 00:37:58.639
We kind of we kind of just rolled into it

816
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:01.480
and that's my and I was literally this freaking my apologies,

817
00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:03.840
but anyway, i'mdd synopsis says the night before his wedding,

818
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:06.840
musician Eric Draven and his fiance are brutally murdered by

819
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:09.679
members of a violent gang. On the anniversary of their death,

820
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:12.280
Eric rises from the grave and assumes the mantle of

821
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:14.079
the Crow, a supernatural avenger.

822
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:17.840
That's an okay, I mean it gets all the points.

823
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:21.039
Yeah, my synopsis. When he and his fiance are murdered

824
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:23.599
the night before their wedding, Eric Draven rises from the

825
00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:26.199
grave one year later to take vengeance on those responsible,

826
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:28.679
assisted by a crow with supernatural powers.

827
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:30.039
Yeah that works.

828
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:30.639
Yeah.

829
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:30.920
Yeah.

830
00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:35.159
Taglines, Oh yes, yes, can't rain all the time?

831
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:37.719
Oh that was actually a literal tag It can't.

832
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:39.880
Ran all the time was a tagline yet Okay, okay,

833
00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:40.880
nothing is trivial.

834
00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:43.679
Hmm, okay, that's not a good tagline.

835
00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:45.960
This is one that I knew like verbatim because it

836
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:48.440
was on the T shirts and the poster Believe in Angels.

837
00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:51.199
It's on every single poster for the most part.

838
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:55.800
So freaking like teenage girl cringe.

839
00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:59.000
In a world without justice, one man was chosen to

840
00:38:59.039 --> 00:38:59.719
protect the.

841
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:02.840
Inn since it makes them sound like the Phantom or

842
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:07.679
something real. Love is Forever No one works. Okay, And

843
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:11.119
finally you'll love this one. So keep in mind ninety

844
00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:14.400
four what superhero movie would have just come out tail

845
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:19.440
into the eighties Batman darker than the Bat, But that

846
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:21.760
one works better because it would be darker than the Bat.

847
00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:24.320
The Crow, Yeah, because it was like it leads into

848
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:28.079
the title. Okay, uh yeah, No, I don't like very

849
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:29.320
those taglines much at all.

850
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:31.199
It can't read all the times the best one next

851
00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:32.639
to uh nothing is trivial.

852
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:35.480
Yeah, I mean I think that if you're I would

853
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:38.119
probably say that the best would be the loved one

854
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:41.239
forever because that would get I mean, because this movie.

855
00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:44.000
You've got to understand, David, This movie lived and died

856
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:47.480

which he is the he wrote, I think The Specialist

00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:44.280
novels or something or had a credit on that. I

923
00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:47.119

938
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:37.079
as the cinematographer for one of the most underrated neo

939
00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:41.440
noirs that I've seen and also cannot recommend enough, Romeo

940
00:43:41.519 --> 00:43:47.079
is bleeding with Gary Oldman, Roy Schreider. Who else is

941
00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:49.119

942
00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:52.639
Are there any overrated dio noir thrillers?

943
00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:55.880
I mean sure, but I don't know that.

944
00:43:56.079 --> 00:43:58.360
I was just saying, when you say underrated dio noir thriller,

945
00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:00.280
my first thought is, I think that's all of them

946
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:01.599
are underrated.

947
00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:03.679
Neodo war is also a turn that gets thrown around

948
00:44:03.719 --> 00:44:04.320
a lot nowadays.

949
00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:05.280

ten years. Like crazy, You shoot.

just recently revisited, and that movie is shot beautifully.

976
00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:22.079
Sure. No, but but like man, I mean, I've seen

977
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:25.079
a good eighty percent of that of that last bunch

978
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:26.960
you were talking about, like News of the World, and

979
00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:28.679
although I mean they're all really new, the world was

980
00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:31.280
really it seems like he got pulled into that kind

981
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:35.079
of Burtany Ecosystems.

982
00:45:34.679 --> 00:45:37.800
Shoot the Martian and the Walk back to back pretty crazy.

I know that it was released in three D.

985
00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:44.599
That's a good question. Actually I don't know. So moving

986
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:46.559
down to our cast, we have Brandon Lee, who plays

987

in ninety four. As I'm sure most of our listeners know,

994
00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:06.159
he was tragically taken from us on this production at

995
00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:10.159
age twenty eight March thirteenth, nineteen ninety three, accidental gunshot

996
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:13.320
wound from a faulty prop revolver. To explain it in

997
00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:16.480
a little bit more basically, a scene was filmed two

998
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:18.599
weeks before Lee had been called by the same gun

999
00:46:18.639 --> 00:46:20.639
that had been chosen for a close up in the movie.

1000
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:23.639
Revolvers often used dummy cartridges fitted with bullets but no

1001
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:25.960
powder or primer during close ups, as they look more

1002
00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:28.880
realistic than blank rounds, which have no bullet. Instead of

1003
00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:32.480
purchasing commercial dummy cartridges, the film's prop crew, hampered by

1004
00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:35.280
time and money constraints, created their own by pulling bullets

1005
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:38.360
from live rounds, dumping the powder charge but not the primer,

1006
00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:41.760
than reinserting the bullets. Witnesses reported that two weeks before

1007
00:46:41.840 --> 00:46:44.320
Lee's death, they saw an unsupervised actor pulling the trigger

1008
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:46.159
on the gun while it was loaded with powderless but

1009
00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:49.039
primed round. Since the primer was still live, it could

1010
00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:50.840
launch the bullet with enough force to push it out

1011
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:52.760
of the case and wedge it into the barrel in

1012
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:54.519
the fatal scene, which called for the revolve to be

1013
00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:57.039
actually fired at Lee from a distance twelve to fifteen feet.

1014
00:46:57.079 --> 00:47:00.000
The dummy cartridges were exchanged for blank rounds, which feature

1015
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:02.320
sure a live powder charge in primer but no bullet,

1016
00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:04.400
thus allowing the gun to be fired without the risk

1017
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:07.320
of an actual projectile. As the production company had sent

1018
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:10.159
the firearm specialist home early, responsibility for the guns was

1019
00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:12.199
given to a prop assistant who was unaware of the

1020
00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:15.840
rule inspecting all firearms before and after handling. Therefore, the

1021
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:18.199
barrel was not check for obstructions when the time came

1022
00:47:18.239 --> 00:47:20.480
to load it with the blank rounds, since the bullet

1023
00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:22.400
for the dummy round was already trapped in the barrel,

1024
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:25.400
a condition known as squib load. This caused the forty

1025
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:27.119
four magnum bullet to be fired out of the barrel

1026
00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:29.079
with virtually the same force as if the gun had

1027
00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:31.199
been loaded with the live round, and it struck Lee

1028
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:34.239
in the abdomen, mortally wounding him. Basically, it went through

1029
00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:37.280
his stomach got lodged in his spine. He did not

1030
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:40.239
die on impact. He made it for about twelve hours

1031
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:41.519
and then passed the hospital.

1032
00:47:41.840 --> 00:47:45.199
And it was a serious tragedy and a big wake

1033
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:48.280
up call. Yeah, And as we'll find out when we

1034
00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:51.159
talk about the Crow a little bit later. Yeah, there

1035
00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:55.440
were a lot of unsafe corners being cut yea to

1036
00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:59.199
make this production, because it was a big, big movie

1037
00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:02.599
with not that big of a budget in comparison. And

1038
00:48:03.639 --> 00:48:06.719
I mean, people get hurt on movie sets more than

1039
00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:09.599
they should, and a lot of that has to do

1040
00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:14.960
with the homogeny of following the director's lead, of the

1041
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:17.199
fact that everybody wants the movie to get done, and

1042
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:19.000
then when you get into the nitty gritty of it,

1043
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:22.159
everybody wants to go home, everybody wants to make their day,

1044
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:26.039
everybody wants to you know, whatever goal they have, it

1045
00:48:26.079 --> 00:48:29.960
always leads to we need to wrap up today. And

1046
00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:35.559
when you cut corners like that, it can usually it's

1047
00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:38.880
annoying ye at worst, but sometimes it can be deadly.

1048
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:43.440
And we had that incident with rust, which although that was,

1049
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:49.000
as far as I can tell, such an incredible dereliction

1050
00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:52.480
of duty on the part of the armor. The last

1051
00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:56.119
I heard there were actual live rounds of ammunition on

1052
00:48:56.159 --> 00:49:00.800
the set, which is completely not even but like like

1053
00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:03.000
not just irresponsible.

1054
00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:03.440
Yeah.

1055
00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:05.280
But when I say like live round should not be

1056
00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:06.960
on the set, I don't mean they shouldn't be on

1057
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:09.360
the set that day. I mean they should never be

1058
00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:13.159
anywhere near the set, even on an off day, because

1059
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:18.519
if one live round ends up anywhere, somebody could die.

1060
00:49:18.599 --> 00:49:21.079
Yeah, and unfortunately we've seen that firsthand.

1061
00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:25.480
Yeah, and that's that's something that's shocking to me that

1062
00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:28.159
you would that you would ever think, oh, we'll take

1063
00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:32.360
live rounds out there for fun later on. That's insanity,

1064
00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:38.400
that's true insanity. And the idea of a bullet being

1065
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:40.960
lodged in the barrel and then getting shot out by

1066
00:49:41.119 --> 00:49:46.480
a blank round is a real danger, and it's why

1067
00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:51.199
generally after the crow firearms are usually inspected by the

1068
00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:55.280
director and the two actors involved. Anyone who's near the gun,

1069
00:49:55.320 --> 00:49:57.880
and anybody who's firing the gun, they all inspect them,

1070
00:49:58.079 --> 00:50:01.800
whether they're real or not. And that's also really important.

1071
00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:04.199
I remember working on a movie once where somebody had

1072
00:50:04.199 --> 00:50:07.760
to shoot themselves with a gun, and we don't use

1073
00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:10.159
real firearms on the set unless there's no other choice.

1074
00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:13.400
There have been a few times, but there's no live

1075
00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:18.559
ammunition anywhere near us, and we definitely don't use blanks.

1076
00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:23.000
And the gun was airsoft so that it recoiled when

1077
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:27.280
it shot, so it looked very convincing. And I remember saying, like,

1078
00:50:27.519 --> 00:50:29.920
you can hold it to your cheek and pull it.

1079
00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:32.719
It won't do anything other than like a little puff

1080
00:50:32.760 --> 00:50:34.800
of air. And he was like, it makes me nervous.

1081
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:36.199
I was like, I totally understand. I put it into

1082
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:37.719
my hand and I pulled the trigger like eight times,

1083
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:40.119
and I was like, if you still don't want to

1084
00:50:40.119 --> 00:50:42.280
do it, that's fine, if you want to do that

1085
00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:45.000
to your hand and see like but I felt nothing,

1086
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:47.960
and he ended up doing it because it felt like nothing.

1087
00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:51.440
But that was a very good like. There was no rush,

1088
00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:54.039
there was no urgency. It was just like, hey, I'd

1089
00:50:54.079 --> 00:50:56.880
like to do it this way. I will do it well.

1090
00:50:56.880 --> 00:50:57.760
And it's not dangerous.

1091
00:50:57.760 --> 00:50:59.519
Pretty much on any set, you should be able to

1092
00:50:59.519 --> 00:51:01.679
call an arm or over anytime to check a gun,

1093
00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:02.199
no matter what.

1094
00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:07.119
If there are real firearms capable of firing real bullets, yeah,

1095
00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:10.800
then yes, because even a blank by itself can be

1096
00:51:10.920 --> 00:51:14.519
dangerous if pointed in your direction. Generally speaking, I think

1097
00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:17.840
it's up to ten feet. It's really not a danger

1098
00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:20.119
anymore because the projectile it could shoot out it you,

1099
00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:23.079
was basically a little tiny piece of cardboard, yeah, or

1100
00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:27.320
wadding if it's a shotgun. So generally speaking, it can't

1101
00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:30.480
go very far. But even so, if you actually look

1102
00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:32.239
back at some of your favorite movies where people shoot

1103
00:51:32.280 --> 00:51:34.320
at each other, you can actually see they're they're aiming away.

1104
00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:34.480
Oh.

1105
00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:36.920
One of my all time favorites is how noticing on

1106
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:40.159
rewatches of Diehard they do not show you Hans Gruber's

1107
00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:42.000
face when he fires that gun half the time.

1108
00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:44.119
Well, they had a double loaded there, which is twice

1109
00:51:44.159 --> 00:51:47.960
as much gunpowder as would be in a normal cartridge. Yeah,

1110
00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:50.239
to give a big, big fireball.

1111
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:52.800
Yeah, they cut away a lot because he was apparently

1112
00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:53.880
wincing when he would fire it.

1113
00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:58.199
Yeah, because it was insanely loud and right. And that's

1114
00:51:58.239 --> 00:52:03.119
the thing. So I'm glad that the crow that, if

1115
00:52:03.159 --> 00:52:05.519
anything could happen from it other than showing how good

1116
00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:09.639
branded Lee is as an actor, as tragic as it is, Yeah,

1117
00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:12.400
it is good that it got a conversation going about

1118
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:16.400
like should people be in danger making movies? And the

1119
00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:18.639
answer is no, no, never, And that's coming from somebody

1120
00:52:18.639 --> 00:52:20.599
who like, my entire life is movies in every way. Yeah,

1121
00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:22.360
my favorite things are movies. But I make a living

1122
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:25.000
on our movies. Everything is movies. But I I don't

1123
00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:27.239
even think. I think that if you get a sprained

1124
00:52:27.239 --> 00:52:31.320
ankle on a set, somebody should be in trouble. Yeah,

1125
00:52:31.400 --> 00:52:33.760
you know, unless the actor is straight up like I

1126
00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:35.719
just ran up that hill like a dumbass or whatever.

1127
00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:39.199
On Not Quite Hollywood, the the Ouspilitation documentary, there's that

1128
00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:41.639
scene where they're talking about the movie Turkey Shoot and

1129
00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:44.079
Steve Railsback is talking about how David Hemming's had the

1130
00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:46.320
scene where Olivia Hussey was going to chop off what's

1131
00:52:46.320 --> 00:52:48.599
his face's hands with that sword and he goes, okay,

1132
00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:52.039
cut and she did not. Nobody instructed her about cutting.

1133
00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:54.079
So she's about to literally take the sword and chop

1134
00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:55.840
dude's hands and he had to come and run it

1135
00:52:55.840 --> 00:52:57.840
and be like no, no, no, no, don't don't cut, don't cut.

1136
00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:00.719
I mean, it's there's a lot of a that needs

1137
00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:02.239
to be brought to those kind of things.

1138
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:04.440
Well and well that's a whole other thing, a whole

1139
00:53:04.480 --> 00:53:07.280
other with actual sharp blades and stuff. I have a

1140
00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:08.960
friend I don't know if she'd want me to talk

1141
00:53:08.960 --> 00:53:11.800
about it, but who got very hurt by handling a

1142
00:53:11.800 --> 00:53:14.559
blade that she was handled handed and not told that

1143
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:19.960
it was sharp. Yeah, Usually, unless it's a very brief sequence,

1144
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:21.880
we would never have a sharp knife on set at all.

1145
00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:24.840
We would have a knife that had been dulled, and

1146
00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:27.039
we would maybe warned that the tip is still pretty pointy,

1147
00:53:27.079 --> 00:53:29.079
because it's hard to get rid of a tip. But

1148
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:35.000
it's safety should be the number one priority. Absolutely, And

1149
00:53:35.079 --> 00:53:36.960
now as much as it is it, you know, some

1150
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:39.440
people hate it because it's you know, they're purists or whatever.

1151
00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:42.480
For the most part, I just don't see a reason

1152
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:44.880
to have blank firing guns on.

1153
00:53:44.840 --> 00:53:45.880
A movie set.

1154
00:53:46.440 --> 00:53:48.920
CG does it great, And I know that it's like

1155
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:50.920
but all the movies we loved watching were like that.

1156
00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:54.400
It's like, yeah, but that's not a reason. Well, and

1157
00:53:55.079 --> 00:53:57.599
but people did get hurt. Yeah, and you can you

1158
00:53:57.639 --> 00:54:00.559
can watch well pieces about people getting hurt.

1159
00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:03.320
We were just talking about it last week. How There

1160
00:54:03.400 --> 00:54:05.840
on the Road of British episode how the Tommy gun

1161
00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:08.800
was first introduced in nineteen thirty two Scarface, and there's

1162
00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:11.000
rumor that they were literally firing at people and telling

1163
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:13.480
them to get out of the way. Yeah, given that's

1164
00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:14.760
you know, that's thirty two.

1165
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:17.440
And granted though, and if that was true, we're probably

1166
00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:22.079
missing some detail that made it at least half as dangerous, yeah,

1167
00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:24.639
if not more, because even in nineteen thirty two, like

1168
00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:29.519
lawyers existed and people could still die. Yeah, so I'm

1169
00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:31.880
pretty sure that death and lawyers were invented within six

1170
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:32.639
years of each other.

1171
00:54:33.159 --> 00:54:34.800
In the seventies, we didn't believe in death yet, we

1172
00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:36.039
didn't believe it was the eighties.

1173
00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:38.639
We didn't know kids could die yet. That's quoting my

1174
00:54:38.679 --> 00:54:40.880
own movie yet, quoting your own moviet Yeah. Yeah, but

1175
00:54:42.079 --> 00:54:43.639
it was the eighties, we didn't know kids could die.

1176
00:54:43.800 --> 00:54:46.320
Also says that's so perfect. He does he had children

1177
00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:50.079
in the eighties, so he got it. But no, So

1178
00:54:50.360 --> 00:54:52.719
I just wanted to harp on that because I really,

1179
00:54:53.599 --> 00:54:57.159
I so desperately care about that.

1180
00:54:57.239 --> 00:54:57.559
Yeah.

1181
00:54:57.639 --> 00:55:00.679
Well, and it's not just injuries either. I heat stroke,

1182
00:55:01.320 --> 00:55:05.400
extreme cold, frostbite. I worked on a movie last year

1183
00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:09.360
in March, and I got my thigh and I was prepared,

1184
00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:13.039
and my thigh got so badly frostbitten that it didn't

1185
00:55:13.079 --> 00:55:15.199
regain full feeling for almost eight months.

1186
00:55:15.239 --> 00:55:15.719
Jesus.

1187
00:55:15.800 --> 00:55:18.760
I actually I didn't talk about it because what can

1188
00:55:18.800 --> 00:55:21.239
you do. But I actually, for a little while when

1189
00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:23.079
it would have been months and it was still kind

1190
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:24.719
of numb, I was actually worried that I had like

1191
00:55:24.760 --> 00:55:25.480
a nerve disorder.

1192
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:26.079
Jesus.

1193
00:55:26.599 --> 00:55:28.559
I mean, it would have been mild at that time,

1194
00:55:28.679 --> 00:55:33.000
but I kept an eye on it because the side

1195
00:55:33.000 --> 00:55:35.199
of your thigh is not full of nerve endings anyway,

1196
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:37.000
like when you scratch it, you can't feel how many

1197
00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:39.199
nails are on it or whatever anyway, because it's just

1198
00:55:39.239 --> 00:55:42.159
not that advanced of a feeling. But like that was,

1199
00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:46.639
with me wearing long John's and thick pants and trying

1200
00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:49.840
my best to stay safe, I still ended up too

1201
00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:53.480
cold because you can only do so much. And I

1202
00:55:53.599 --> 00:55:55.840
once got heat exhaustion on a movie set and it

1203
00:55:55.920 --> 00:55:58.880
wasn't my I mean, it was my fault. At the

1204
00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:01.239
end of the day. You know, the production had said

1205
00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:03.119
multiple times, like we have water over here and stuff,

1206
00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:04.440
and I was like, yeah, but I want to get

1207
00:56:04.519 --> 00:56:07.440
all the stuff done. And I'm nineteen and dah dah dah,

1208
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:09.880
dah dah. And that's why I have a saying on set,

1209
00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:12.360
which is remember four minutes for you to drink a

1210
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:14.639
bottle of water beats the hell out of forty five

1211
00:56:14.679 --> 00:56:17.079
minutes waiting for an ambulance. Yeah, so don't be afraid

1212
00:56:17.119 --> 00:56:18.440
to say, can I have a second just to drink

1213
00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:20.559
a bottle of water? Because you'll never hear no.

1214
00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:22.079
Yeah, you just won't.

1215
00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:24.679
I mean you might hear uh, we'll get a bottle

1216
00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:25.960
of water to you in five minutes.

1217
00:56:26.119 --> 00:56:26.280
You know.

1218
00:56:26.400 --> 00:56:28.079
That's the worst you're gonna get, is like, where's a

1219
00:56:28.119 --> 00:56:30.840
bottle of water? But usually they're never far away anyway.

1220
00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:33.440
No, And I mean, and I remember, I'm not gonna

1221
00:56:33.679 --> 00:56:35.840
name names, but I remember there's people that we've worked

1222
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:38.920
with on set, on your sets that would not seek help.

1223
00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:40.519
And you were just like all right, I like, if

1224
00:56:40.599 --> 00:56:42.519
you're gonna do this, you're not gonna impress me like

1225
00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:43.119
I would rather you.

1226
00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:45.760
I used to say, remember you don't get bonus points

1227
00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:48.199
for suffering. Yeah, that was my favorite thing to say

1228
00:56:48.239 --> 00:56:50.119
to people who were just kind of like, oh no,

1229
00:56:50.159 --> 00:56:51.559
I'll just keep walking. I don't need a chair to

1230
00:56:51.559 --> 00:56:53.480
sit in or whatever. I'm like you should. There's a

1231
00:56:53.599 --> 00:56:56.119
chair just empty right there, sitting it for five seconds. Yeah,

1232
00:56:56.199 --> 00:56:59.000
rest your damn feet, like you're not gonna get like,

1233
00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:00.800
I mean, the only way gonna press me as if

1234
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:03.880
you crucify yourself, and even then only if you rise

1235
00:57:03.920 --> 00:57:06.400
after three days. Sorry, Easter was just that's okay.

1236
00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:09.239
So yeah, moving down to our cast, we also have

1238
00:57:12.079 --> 00:57:15.039
not realize this man's resume until I was looking. Oh yeah,

00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:01.119
like his Ni Sholl introduction to that movie, when he

1256
00:58:01.159 --> 00:58:03.679
stabs a cop is one of the most brutal scenes.

1257
00:58:04.320 --> 00:58:07.719
As opposed to how generally childlike and cute stabbing a

1258
00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:08.199
cop as.

1259
00:58:08.119 --> 00:58:10.239

Is I'll never forget that sequence. Yeah, because it was

1275
00:58:48.679 --> 00:58:50.719
one of those things that it started happening and you're

1276
00:58:50.719 --> 00:58:52.039
just kind of like watching it. We're just kind of

1277
00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:54.599

1279

you guys, really some people hated it. I mean, some

1283
00:59:07.880 --> 00:59:11.440
people hate everything, but I really liked Nope. So I

1284
00:59:11.639 --> 00:59:13.800
was just kind of shocked when I saw people just

1285
00:59:14.039 --> 00:59:15.440
bitching and bitching about it.

1286
00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:18.280
So many good moments too. The opening alone makes that movie.

1287
00:59:18.320 --> 00:59:21.840
The opening, the opening, The opening of Nope alone makes

1288
00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:22.280
that movie.

1289
00:59:22.679 --> 00:59:25.079

00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:36.559
It didn't surprise me, but I guess I just didn't

realize how much he has been working and it's been NonStop.

1298

of the episode of Blossom where they make a home

1322
01:00:41.159 --> 01:00:45.599
movie and it's hand that chokes the baby. That's why

1323
01:00:45.679 --> 01:00:48.440
I chuckled, because they did a couple of day did

1324
01:00:48.440 --> 01:00:50.760
an Aliens parody one time too, that was very funny.

1325
01:00:51.400 --> 01:00:53.559
I love Blossom growing up. I'm not ashamed.

1326
01:00:53.760 --> 01:00:56.199

01:01:17.119 --> 01:01:19.480
lands a little series called Oz.

1335
01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:23.639
Which is one of his finest roles. Yeah, because Leo Glynn.

1336
01:01:24.280 --> 01:01:29.840
He plays the warden of the prison. He's so multifaceted,

1337
01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:33.119
he has so much going on. He's so complicated. You

1338
01:01:33.360 --> 01:01:36.039
think you have him figured out and you never really do. Yeah,

1339
01:01:36.440 --> 01:01:38.920
he's it's one of the best roles he's ever he's

1340
01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:41.760
ever portrayed, and he's portrayed so many great ones. I

1341
01:01:41.840 --> 01:01:45.760
mean his When I revisited Ghostbusters as an adult effort,

1342
01:01:45.760 --> 01:01:48.320
not seeing it for nine ten years or something, Yeah,

1343
01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:53.079
I was shocked how much his character was my favorite

1344
01:01:53.400 --> 01:01:56.679
bar nune Ye, because everybody else was a cartoon and

1345
01:01:56.760 --> 01:01:57.880
then he was just a guy.

1346
01:01:58.159 --> 01:01:58.360
Yeah.

1347
01:01:58.519 --> 01:02:00.440
And and now that you know, as as an adult,

1348
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:03.079
I'm watching it and like him saying like I'm saying, like,

1349
01:02:03.119 --> 01:02:04.599
do you believe the parently is like I believe in

1350
01:02:04.679 --> 01:02:06.559
whatever gets to be a paycheck. And I was like,

1351
01:02:06.840 --> 01:02:09.119
I I identify with this man.

1352
01:02:09.440 --> 01:02:12.000
If I do have bills, I'll believe whatever you say.

1353
01:02:12.079 --> 01:02:14.119
Yeah, I'll believe whatever you say. No, And he's but

1354
01:02:14.280 --> 01:02:17.639
he's so earnest in it too. He's not He's not cynical.

1355
01:02:17.719 --> 01:02:21.079
He's just very honest about the fact that his pragmatism

1356
01:02:21.679 --> 01:02:24.719
is I got a family, Yeah, I gotta make money.

1357
01:02:25.280 --> 01:02:27.559
I'm just I'm just happy to be here, you know.

1358
01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:30.840
So Oz in ninety seven, then Shark Attack in ninety nine.

1359
01:02:31.800 --> 01:02:34.880
Okay, I stand corrected, that's finest performance.

1360
01:02:34.519 --> 01:02:36.360
The Watcher with Keanu Reeves in two thousand.

1361
01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:37.960
I stand corrected again.

1362
01:02:38.239 --> 01:02:42.000
Miscongeniality in two thousand, I ever would in two thousand

1363
01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:44.679
and two with Treat Williams. Oh yeah, mis congeniality to you,

1364
01:02:44.760 --> 01:02:46.719
Armed and Fabulous in two thousand and five, You are

1365
01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:48.960
Hood of stoop Dog's Hood of Horror in two thousand

1366
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:51.280
and six, kind of like, do you remember his story?

1367
01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:54.639
It's been so they did a remake of the story

1368
01:02:54.679 --> 01:02:56.960
and teal from the crip with the military or the

1369
01:02:57.000 --> 01:02:59.320
military guys that are in the institution that the guy

1370
01:02:59.400 --> 01:03:02.440
takes over completely, like takes away their blankets, takes away they're.

1371
01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:04.599
Like the House for the Blind. Yeah, in the original

1372
01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:05.280
talesmen cripp.

1373
01:03:05.440 --> 01:03:08.320
Yeah, because it's that that the chick and the and

1374
01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:10.719
the military guy move into their place and they fuck

1375
01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:12.320
up the same thing, and that's and then they turn

1376
01:03:12.400 --> 01:03:14.280
on them. Man, I need to revisit that. I need

1377
01:03:14.360 --> 01:03:16.920
to watch Bones, Bones holds up. I still like Bones

1378
01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:18.960
a lot. Hood of Horror has problems.

1379
01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:23.440
I would I'm I'm now getting so old that things

1380
01:03:23.519 --> 01:03:27.320
I kind of liked. Yeah, the nostalgia and age on

1381
01:03:27.400 --> 01:03:30.000
them makes them great. So I would be really curious

1382
01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:30.880
to revisit that one.

1383
01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:33.280
Bones is a lot of fun. Desperate House five, two

1384
01:03:33.320 --> 01:03:35.159
thousand and four, Bones in two thousand and eight.

1385
01:03:35.280 --> 01:03:38.400
Well, but for the record, Bones doesn't need nostalgia. Bones

1386
01:03:38.480 --> 01:03:40.159
is just a solid fucking horror movie.

1387
01:03:40.239 --> 01:03:45.039
Yeah, Dragonball Evolution. Torch would Hearted Dixie Scandal, Ghostbusters twenty sixteen,

1388
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:48.159
leave the Weapon, the series in twenty sixteen, Ghostbusters Afterlife,

1389
01:03:48.239 --> 01:03:50.800
and most recently Firebugs in twenty twenty four, which is

1390
01:03:50.800 --> 01:03:52.679
a TV Seriously, he does a voice on. He does

1391
01:03:52.760 --> 01:03:53.960
a lot of voice work.

1392
01:03:54.119 --> 01:03:56.320
Well, dude's got an incredible voice.

1393
01:03:56.400 --> 01:03:59.920
Yeah, absolutely does. So what was your first time watching the.

1394
01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:03.039
Well, you know, if you had told me that, or

1395
01:04:03.079 --> 01:04:04.880
if you'd asked me that question a year and a

1396
01:04:04.920 --> 01:04:07.639
half ago, I would have said I would guess that

1397
01:04:07.719 --> 01:04:12.800
I watched it on tape or on TV. But when

1398
01:04:12.800 --> 01:04:14.280
I went to see it in the theater with you

1399
01:04:14.480 --> 01:04:19.360
when it was being revived, I realized, Well. I started

1400
01:04:19.400 --> 01:04:21.920
to say to myself, like have I seen this in

1401
01:04:22.000 --> 01:04:24.599
the theater before? I asked my mother, and my mother like, oh,

1402
01:04:24.639 --> 01:04:26.480
your sister took you, And I was like, of course

1403
01:04:26.519 --> 01:04:29.559
she did. She was like sixteen years old, she had

1404
01:04:29.599 --> 01:04:33.400
a car. I was eight or so, and I loved

1405
01:04:33.519 --> 01:04:35.559
movies and it was one of I'm sure it was

1406
01:04:35.599 --> 01:04:37.280
one of those like well, take your brother. He likes

1407
01:04:37.360 --> 01:04:40.119
that stuff. And I was obsessed with Bruce Lee, like

1408
01:04:40.400 --> 01:04:43.440
very obsessed. My sister was obsessed with The Crow. We

1409
01:04:43.599 --> 01:04:45.880
had the soundtrack and she was always playing it on

1410
01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:50.559
her fucking June Your boombox in her bedroom. And I

1411
01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:53.760
remember very little, but I remember seeing it in the theater,

1412
01:04:54.280 --> 01:04:56.119
being startled by some of the violence because it was

1413
01:04:56.239 --> 01:05:00.800
very like in your face, very MTV, and it obviously

1414
01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:03.159
left an impression. Then I remember, you know, a year

1415
01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:05.760
and a half later, renting it on tape. I remember

1416
01:05:05.840 --> 01:05:08.360
catching it on cable here and there. The Crow has

1417
01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:13.159
always been around, and I don't know anybody who doesn't

1418
01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:17.280
like the Crow, to the point where it is funny

1419
01:05:17.400 --> 01:05:20.000
to me to say I don't like the Crow to

1420
01:05:20.119 --> 01:05:22.000
you because you like it so much, because I literally

1421
01:05:22.039 --> 01:05:24.599
don't know anybody was like, eh, the Crow's kind of overrate.

1422
01:05:24.639 --> 01:05:25.599
I don't know anybody like that.

1423
01:05:25.719 --> 01:05:26.079
I don't.

1424
01:05:26.519 --> 01:05:29.639
So when I think of The Crow, I think of

1425
01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:33.679
the fact that it was like, it was very representative

1426
01:05:34.280 --> 01:05:37.920
of gen X, which I was looking up to being

1427
01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:41.239
an older millennial. All my sister was gen X, all

1428
01:05:41.280 --> 01:05:43.880
of her friends were gen X, so and that movie

1429
01:05:44.039 --> 01:05:48.519
was just such a seminal gen X Movieah, so that's

1430
01:05:48.840 --> 01:05:50.280
I mean, that's how I remember seeing it. And then

1431
01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:55.599
I think I revisited it on DVD in my early twenties,

1432
01:05:55.639 --> 01:05:59.920
like I rented it from somewhere, and I've always liked it,

1433
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:02.159
but it was really awesome seeing in the theater that

1434
01:06:02.280 --> 01:06:05.639
last time. It made me realize how how much I

1435
01:06:05.760 --> 01:06:08.280
do like the movie, but how silly it is in

1436
01:06:08.679 --> 01:06:11.519
some ways great and in some ways just really silly.

1437
01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:15.239
Like him. I had completely forgotten until we were in

1438
01:06:15.239 --> 01:06:17.000
the theater that he like shreds a guitar on top

1439
01:06:17.039 --> 01:06:19.599
of the building. Yes, And I was like, oh my god.

1440
01:06:19.960 --> 01:06:23.400
I mean it's cool, but like it's almost too much,

1441
01:06:24.199 --> 01:06:25.679
Like it's almost too much.

1442
01:06:25.840 --> 01:06:27.400
It's a little too much. So if you want to

1443
01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:32.159
pull up that video, I'll explain. So, oh geez, the

1444
01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:35.320
crow is seminal to me because this is this is

1445
01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:37.599
one I had on VHS and the way that I'm

1446
01:06:37.679 --> 01:06:41.559
able to figure out my movies is VHS two DVD

1447
01:06:42.159 --> 01:06:44.880
ratio in that sense. And I had gotten my first

1448
01:06:44.960 --> 01:06:47.119
two VHS tapes that I had ever bought in myself

1449
01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:49.679
at the flea market, and one was Ferris Bueler's Day

1450
01:06:49.719 --> 01:06:52.199
Off and the other was Ransom and Ransom just so

1451
01:06:52.400 --> 01:06:56.400
happened to have this trailer on. It's on the tape which.

1452
01:06:56.239 --> 01:06:59.239
We're about to take a look at. Here goes Nothing.

1453
01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:06.320
So this is the first time that I'm ever seeing

1454
01:07:06.400 --> 01:07:07.320
like anything about the Crow.

1455
01:07:07.400 --> 01:07:07.639
Really.

1456
01:07:08.199 --> 01:07:10.480
Oh so you got Judge dread.

1457
01:07:12.119 --> 01:07:13.039
Some bitchy stuff.

1458
01:07:13.159 --> 01:07:18.320
Then we go into terminal velocity, only showing the scenes

1459
01:07:18.320 --> 01:07:18.679
at the end.

1460
01:07:19.039 --> 01:07:20.760
Well, of course, because that's where all the action. I

1461
01:07:20.800 --> 01:07:22.840
love Tombstone, but that's where the big action is. Yeah,

1462
01:07:25.719 --> 01:07:29.679
dimension of course, the finest of them for the Crow.

1463
01:07:30.719 --> 01:07:34.039
So my initial look of this movie is, Okay, it's

1464
01:07:34.079 --> 01:07:35.159
just it's it's a horror film.

1465
01:07:35.920 --> 01:07:37.760
It does look like a horror movie. And I would

1466
01:07:37.760 --> 01:07:40.599
say that it's debata Pillar of Night. Of Night. I

1467
01:07:40.599 --> 01:07:42.360
would say it's debatably a horror movie.

1468
01:07:42.559 --> 01:07:44.159
I mean, it's in horror if you buy it. Meth

1469
01:07:44.159 --> 01:07:46.679
Wade hand rocks the cradle, the hand that chokes the

1470
01:07:46.719 --> 01:07:51.440
baby Crimson inside. Wow.

1471
01:07:51.679 --> 01:07:54.559
Yeah, oh yeah, I remember the music and everything, the

1472
01:07:56.800 --> 01:07:58.880
era of the music videos at the beginning of your

1473
01:07:58.960 --> 01:08:01.760
DVDs and the residents.

1474
01:08:01.840 --> 01:08:04.800
Yeah, again only showing the end of the robbery.

1475
01:08:05.159 --> 01:08:08.920
Well, you'd also get really interesting combos Bad Company Company,

1476
01:08:09.280 --> 01:08:11.400
you'd get like a really interesting combination to pulp fiction

1477
01:08:11.559 --> 01:08:14.639
fiction because sometimes stuff would be released nowhere near each

1478
01:08:14.639 --> 01:08:16.359
other in theaters, but they'd all come out on video

1479
01:08:16.399 --> 01:08:19.079
at the same time, especially when DVD came out, because

1480
01:08:19.079 --> 01:08:20.920
then it would be like, we're releasing everything from the Night.

1481
01:08:22.880 --> 01:08:23.560
Pulp fiction.

1482
01:08:24.119 --> 01:08:26.279
Yeah, and now we're getting a recap of all these

1483
01:08:26.600 --> 01:08:33.840
excellent releases. Man, I mean, this stuff is just is

1484
01:08:34.079 --> 01:08:35.279
so early too.

1485
01:08:35.560 --> 01:08:38.960
I remember the music like Verbatos continue, and what hilarious

1486
01:08:39.079 --> 01:08:41.600
is to find that trailer to send to you. I

1487
01:08:41.720 --> 01:08:45.680
literally just typed in the Crow Tombstone, Color of Night,

1488
01:08:45.880 --> 01:08:48.439
Guilty of Sin and found it because it's a pitching

1489
01:08:48.520 --> 01:08:53.840
guitar solo like Hollywood Pictures, Mirrormax, et cetera lineup basically.

1490
01:08:54.119 --> 01:08:57.000
So so that was my initial concept of the Crow.

1491
01:08:57.199 --> 01:08:59.880
So fast forward about a year later, maybe even half

1492
01:09:00.039 --> 01:09:02.560
year later, and I'm at the I'm at Caesar's Creek

1493
01:09:02.600 --> 01:09:04.279
flea market with my dad. We've actually set up to

1494
01:09:04.279 --> 01:09:09.479
sell there, okay, and so I went there specifically to

1495
01:09:10.039 --> 01:09:11.840
hang out with him and also sell some stuff, but

1496
01:09:11.960 --> 01:09:14.640
also shop. And there was a booth that had a

1497
01:09:14.680 --> 01:09:16.079
bunch of horror stuff, and I wanted to get a

1498
01:09:16.119 --> 01:09:18.680
copy of from dustilled On. Got my copy from dustilled On.

1499
01:09:19.079 --> 01:09:21.600
I was happy. That's really all I needed. So then

1500
01:09:21.920 --> 01:09:24.079
it was towards like midway through the day or so,

1501
01:09:24.159 --> 01:09:26.000
and Dad's like, why don't you go like walk around, like,

1502
01:09:26.039 --> 01:09:27.159
you know, see what else is out there? And I

1503
01:09:27.239 --> 01:09:29.600
was like, okay. So I find myself over by this,

1504
01:09:30.079 --> 01:09:32.680
by this booth and there's just these two rubber maid

1505
01:09:32.680 --> 01:09:36.159
containers full of VHS tapes and two guys are talking,

1506
01:09:36.239 --> 01:09:37.680
and I go into one and I pick up the

1507
01:09:37.720 --> 01:09:39.479
crow right on the top, and I'm just like, I

1508
01:09:39.560 --> 01:09:41.680
bet I would like this movie. Didn't really know anything

1509
01:09:41.680 --> 01:09:43.920
about it at this point, just had known that trailer

1510
01:09:44.119 --> 01:09:46.279
and had known that like it was an action movie

1511
01:09:46.319 --> 01:09:47.560
with some horror elements and whatnot.

1512
01:09:47.720 --> 01:09:49.840
I want to mention I feel like at a flea market, Yeah,

1513
01:09:49.840 --> 01:09:52.880
anytime I see a rubber maid container, I'm like, that

1514
01:09:53.039 --> 01:09:58.119
better be full of VHS tapes or baby alligators. If

1515
01:09:58.159 --> 01:10:03.159
not both, Oh, go ahead and get one. No, they

1516
01:10:03.199 --> 01:10:05.319
can barely take your finger yet, that's fair.

1517
01:10:05.720 --> 01:10:08.560
So funny enough. I pick up the crow and the

1518
01:10:08.640 --> 01:10:10.600
guy is like, I was like, oh, yeah, I watched

1519
01:10:10.600 --> 01:10:11.920
that last night. It's a great movie, you know, it's

1520
01:10:11.920 --> 01:10:13.720
sad about the guy, which I didn't even know about

1521
01:10:13.760 --> 01:10:15.600
Brandon Lee's death at that point, so I was like, yeah,

1522
01:10:15.720 --> 01:10:18.039
you know, just making small talk with an adult. And

1523
01:10:18.159 --> 01:10:19.720
so I grabbed the crow buy it from him for

1524
01:10:19.800 --> 01:10:21.520
like a dollar, and then this guy comes and buys

1525
01:10:21.520 --> 01:10:23.479
the entire tub of VHS tapes that he was talking to,

1526
01:10:23.720 --> 01:10:25.760
So go home with from Dust Till Dawn and the

1527
01:10:25.800 --> 01:10:28.680
Crow watch him both. And I remember the Crow ending

1528
01:10:28.960 --> 01:10:31.479
and me actually being like I kind of want to

1529
01:10:31.479 --> 01:10:34.399
watch that again. And I watched it again right after,

1530
01:10:34.479 --> 01:10:36.800
and I don't do that often, Like that's were you exactly?

1531
01:10:37.199 --> 01:10:40.119
I had to pretend like twelve thirteen.

1532
01:10:40.640 --> 01:10:44.399
Oh probably yep, yep, yeah, you were, like I am

1533
01:10:44.640 --> 01:10:47.359
Eric Craven. That's how every teenager or.

1534
01:10:47.479 --> 01:10:49.680
I mean, I may I may even been in eleven eleven, eleven,

1535
01:10:49.720 --> 01:10:51.680
twelve thirteen, we'll say it somewhere in there, but yeah,

1536
01:10:51.840 --> 01:10:54.319
it was. It was a it was a feeling of

1537
01:10:54.399 --> 01:10:56.479
I want to watch that again immediately, and I hadn't

1538
01:10:56.520 --> 01:10:59.239
really done that like that was that was not something

1539
01:10:59.279 --> 01:10:59.920
I did often.

1540
01:11:00.039 --> 01:11:02.399
I just imagine after the second viewing, just like walking

1541
01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:04.039
into the doorway of your mom and dad with like

1542
01:11:04.039 --> 01:11:06.520
a blanket round your shoulder and my mom dad, where's

1543
01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:07.239
the hot topic?

1544
01:11:08.960 --> 01:11:11.680
If I it's so funny story enough, If I, if

1545
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:13.720
I had planned the show a little bit better, I

1546
01:11:13.840 --> 01:11:16.039
was going to try to institute a gag where the

1547
01:11:16.159 --> 01:11:17.840
more we just kept cutting back to me, just crow

1548
01:11:17.880 --> 01:11:20.760
makeup kept playing going on the cop if I talked about.

1549
01:11:20.760 --> 01:11:22.159
Part of me was like, if we weren't going to

1550
01:11:22.239 --> 01:11:24.199
the movies, I wouldn't be shocked if you had you'd

1551
01:11:24.239 --> 01:11:24.520
done that.

1552
01:11:24.800 --> 01:11:25.960
It was, it was, it was a thought.

1553
01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:28.199
It's one of my favorite gags in the South Park movie.

1554
01:11:28.399 --> 01:11:30.760
Nobody dress them like the crow by the time of

1555
01:11:30.800 --> 01:11:31.039
the movie.

1556
01:11:31.079 --> 01:11:34.399
That's just how that's the seperwin right after his passage.

1557
01:11:34.399 --> 01:11:39.239
Oh yeah, but yeah, So ended up loving it and naturally,

1558
01:11:39.319 --> 01:11:41.319
you know, ended up upgrading on DVD. And it was

1559
01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:43.119
one that I showed to a couple of friends even

1560
01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:45.399
I think I even showed to my parents honestly, And so,

1561
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:48.319
I mean it was it was a seminal moment that

1562
01:11:48.399 --> 01:11:51.720
that that when that tape hit my VCR. Sure, so

1563
01:11:51.960 --> 01:11:54.439
it's one that I go back to. I this is

1564
01:11:54.479 --> 01:11:56.479
a movie that I literally watch every year, if not

1565
01:11:57.319 --> 01:11:58.359
multiple times each year.

1566
01:11:58.520 --> 01:12:01.199
So as a teenager when you went through a breakup,

1567
01:12:01.279 --> 01:12:03.279
did you like blare the opening theme and like put

1568
01:12:03.319 --> 01:12:05.079
on makeup looking in the mirror at yourself.

1569
01:12:05.159 --> 01:12:09.000
For the record, I did not get the soundtracked until

1570
01:12:09.079 --> 01:12:10.920
like probably like two or three years of owning the

1571
01:12:11.000 --> 01:12:13.600
VHS or even the DVD at that point. And then

1572
01:12:14.000 --> 01:12:16.560
once I got to the soundtrack, there was no going back.

1573
01:12:16.680 --> 01:12:18.319
No, there is no that's a good soundtrack too.

1574
01:12:18.439 --> 01:12:19.600
And I mean, and to be honest to you, I

1575
01:12:19.680 --> 01:12:24.199
didn't watch the sequels for years. Well. I remember specifically

1576
01:12:24.279 --> 01:12:26.840
getting City of Angels for a Christmas gift one year

1577
01:12:26.840 --> 01:12:28.319
because I told my dad because that was back in

1578
01:12:28.359 --> 01:12:30.880
the days of Dad doing eBay constantly, and I was like, hey,

1579
01:12:30.920 --> 01:12:33.279
can you look for this? And sure shit, it surprised

1580
01:12:33.399 --> 01:12:34.680
under the Christmas tree the net last year.

1581
01:12:34.800 --> 01:12:37.319
I remember the first Crow sequel because I remember my

1582
01:12:37.399 --> 01:12:39.560
sister when it was over, we watched it on tape.

1583
01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:41.880
I remember when it was over her hitting the rewind

1584
01:12:41.920 --> 01:12:45.439
button with anger. I'm serious, I believe she was pissed.

1585
01:12:45.560 --> 01:12:45.680
Was it?

1586
01:12:45.880 --> 01:12:47.279
It had to have been City of Angels, right.

1587
01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:49.720
I'm assuming that was the first one, the first sequel.

1588
01:12:49.800 --> 01:12:51.840
It was that one for sure. Yeah, yeah, she was

1589
01:12:51.920 --> 01:12:55.960
like literally just like like I'm taking this back, but yeah,

1590
01:12:56.039 --> 01:12:56.319
it was.

1591
01:12:56.600 --> 01:12:59.039
It was a movie that made an impact on me.

1592
01:12:59.159 --> 01:13:04.279
And then also genuine love for Brandon Lee and sadness

1593
01:13:04.319 --> 01:13:06.279
that he was taken from us because I think this is,

1594
01:13:06.640 --> 01:13:09.199
you know, his absolute best performance.

1595
01:13:09.520 --> 01:13:13.960
Well yeah, although he was actually really so I love.

1596
01:13:13.920 --> 01:13:17.119
Him in Rapid Fire is he's really good and showdown

1597
01:13:17.119 --> 01:13:19.279
a little Tokyo And even most recently, I just saw

1598
01:13:19.399 --> 01:13:21.720
Legacy of Rage, which is the Hong Kong movie he did,

1599
01:13:21.880 --> 01:13:25.279
which is done by the director of Bride of Chucky.

1600
01:13:27.399 --> 01:13:31.279
Is escaping me around? Yeah, it's uh shit, yeah it's

1601
01:13:31.319 --> 01:13:31.880
it's annoying.

1602
01:13:32.079 --> 01:13:35.319
I'll look but yeah, no, I but I mean Lee

1603
01:13:35.800 --> 01:13:40.600
Lee's performance in this movie is memorable. Ronnie, you yeah,

1604
01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:44.800
is memorable. It is when you when I tell you

1605
01:13:44.920 --> 01:13:48.079
who was up originally for this movie, you will ship.

1606
01:13:48.359 --> 01:13:49.039
That's all I'll say.

1607
01:13:49.079 --> 01:13:50.960
Well, I also want to mention my sister had Rapid

1608
01:13:51.000 --> 01:13:53.439
Fire and Laser Mission in her personal VHS car.

1609
01:13:53.520 --> 01:13:55.960
I've never seen Laser Mission to this day. I want

1610
01:13:56.000 --> 01:13:59.520
to pathetic. Well, it's it's public domain, so I don't

1611
01:13:59.560 --> 01:14:01.920
know what is a good copy. How the hell did

1612
01:14:01.960 --> 01:14:04.439
laser Mission become public dame, it's public domain. I think.

1613
01:14:04.600 --> 01:14:06.600
I'm pretty sure because I've seen a lot of releases

1614
01:14:06.640 --> 01:14:06.800
of it.

1615
01:14:07.520 --> 01:14:07.840
Could be.

1616
01:14:08.479 --> 01:14:11.760
Yeah, but yeah, I want to see that one. But yeah,

1617
01:14:11.840 --> 01:14:13.960
legacy erasers when I knocked off the list finally. But yeah,

1618
01:14:14.000 --> 01:14:16.680
I mean this this is just fuck it. Let's just

1619
01:14:16.720 --> 01:14:17.159
get into it.

1620
01:14:18.079 --> 01:14:18.439
Okay.

1621
01:14:19.119 --> 01:14:21.279
So we open on Devil's Night. We are in a

1622
01:14:21.520 --> 01:14:23.880
wide shot. We're seeing a lot of fires in these

1623
01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:27.479
city scapes, and the city scapes are are miniatures, really

1624
01:14:27.920 --> 01:14:29.840
well done miniatures for.

1625
01:14:29.880 --> 01:14:31.520
Their budget, for their budget. I mean, I'm not trying

1626
01:14:31.560 --> 01:14:33.600
to pick on them, it's just the four K especially

1627
01:14:33.840 --> 01:14:36.760
just really shows the limitations of what they could do

1628
01:14:36.880 --> 01:14:40.279
with the miniatures and with the cars, with the cars,

1629
01:14:40.439 --> 01:14:45.079
with the the compositing of the fire and stuff like that.

1630
01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:49.279
You can, but it feeds that kind of comic bookiness,

1631
01:14:49.680 --> 01:14:51.039
just like when he's on top of the roof and

1632
01:14:51.079 --> 01:14:55.199
it's so clearly not real. It does feed that aesthetic

1633
01:14:55.319 --> 01:14:55.760
quite a bit.

1634
01:14:55.840 --> 01:14:57.359
Oh it does. But I mean, and the Gramm Ravelle

1635
01:14:57.399 --> 01:14:59.760
score kicks in throughout this movie and starts right at

1636
01:14:59.800 --> 01:15:03.680
the and we hear Sarah, a voiceover of Sarah say,

1637
01:15:03.720 --> 01:15:06.239
people once believe that when someone dies, a crow carries

1638
01:15:06.279 --> 01:15:08.359
their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes

1639
01:15:08.399 --> 01:15:11.000
something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried

1640
01:15:11.039 --> 01:15:13.920
with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just

1641
01:15:14.039 --> 01:15:16.479
sometimes the crow can bring that soul back to put

1642
01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:17.560
the wrong things right now.

1643
01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:21.199
I don't know what people, but that was my first

1644
01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:23.800
thought when I was watching it today, is I was like, Okay,

1645
01:15:23.880 --> 01:15:25.159
that's one of those things you do where you go

1646
01:15:25.279 --> 01:15:30.239
people say this. Yeah, So it's a sweet opening though

1647
01:15:30.359 --> 01:15:30.600
it is.

1648
01:15:30.680 --> 01:15:33.279
And we're flying with the crow. The crow eventually comes

1649
01:15:33.359 --> 01:15:35.560
up to Eric and Shelley's apartment window, where we see

1650
01:15:35.600 --> 01:15:38.399
all brick Ernie Hudson standing out of a broken glass window,

1651
01:15:38.520 --> 01:15:40.279
and we look down we see Eric is dead on

1652
01:15:40.359 --> 01:15:43.680
the street, Shelley is inside being taken care of by medics,

1653
01:15:43.800 --> 01:15:46.439
and basically we get the reporting that there's one hundred

1654
01:15:46.439 --> 01:15:48.560
and forty three fires in the city going on right

1655
01:15:48.600 --> 01:15:51.880
now for Devil's Night because Top Dollars gang that's their tradition.

1656
01:15:52.000 --> 01:15:54.319
Well, and one of the cops comment says like they

1657
01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:57.319
must have been lazy this year because last year was worse. Yeah,

1658
01:15:57.439 --> 01:16:00.720
which tells you, well, this takes place in Detroit.

1659
01:16:00.840 --> 01:16:04.159
Right, Detroit, yes, yeah, and a ravage in a ravaged

1660
01:16:04.239 --> 01:16:06.840
and decrepit Detroit as Wikipedia described.

1661
01:16:06.479 --> 01:16:10.840
It, Detroit, so I said, Detroit.

1662
01:16:11.000 --> 01:16:11.159
Yes.

1663
01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:14.319
So we find out that Shelley has been assaulted and

1664
01:16:14.399 --> 01:16:17.000
she's seriously wounded. The medics are attending to her. Eric

1665
01:16:17.159 --> 01:16:18.920
was thrown out of the window or shot out of

1666
01:16:18.920 --> 01:16:20.800
the window. We're not one hundred percent sure at that point,

1667
01:16:21.199 --> 01:16:23.199
and that tomorrow was going to be their wedding. So

1668
01:16:23.279 --> 01:16:26.159
they are murdered before, well, murdered an attack before their wedding.

1669
01:16:26.199 --> 01:16:28.039
Well, and one of the haunting lines and somebody says

1670
01:16:28.159 --> 01:16:30.920
who gets married on Halloween? Gets married on Halloween and

1671
01:16:31.079 --> 01:16:34.680
Hudson says, no one, nobody, because they're both dead. Yeah.

1672
01:16:35.039 --> 01:16:37.600
So Albrecht is told by the medic he's like, you know,

1673
01:16:37.640 --> 01:16:38.800
we got to move her, and he's like, you know,

1674
01:16:38.840 --> 01:16:40.600
go ahead and do it. So they get her outside.

1675
01:16:40.680 --> 01:16:43.399
By this point, Sarah rolls up on her skateboard and

1676
01:16:43.520 --> 01:16:45.319
she's like, you know, what's going on and he's like,

1677
01:16:45.359 --> 01:16:48.159
you know, hey, you know, Shelley your sister. She's gonna

1678
01:16:48.199 --> 01:16:51.119
be okay. And she's like, oh, you know, Shelley's not

1679
01:16:51.279 --> 01:16:53.600
my sister. She just takes care of me, her and Eric. Yeah,

1680
01:16:53.880 --> 01:16:55.920
and he's and she's like, you lied to her because

1681
01:16:55.960 --> 01:16:57.920
she even asked on Eric. And he's like, oh, he's okay, Like,

1682
01:16:58.000 --> 01:16:59.239
you know, we just got to get you taken care of.

1683
01:16:59.279 --> 01:17:00.720
They get Shelley out. He's like, you're lying to me

1684
01:17:00.760 --> 01:17:01.439
about Shelley too.

1685
01:17:02.239 --> 01:17:02.439
Yeah.

1686
01:17:03.039 --> 01:17:07.640
Now that's probably the thing that I didn't recall until

1687
01:17:07.680 --> 01:17:11.199
I rewatched it much later. Yeah, was how sad that

1688
01:17:11.439 --> 01:17:14.880
whole element is. Yeah, because Eric and Shelley appear to

1689
01:17:15.000 --> 01:17:19.720
be bizarrely good people living in a place where not

1690
01:17:19.760 --> 01:17:20.840
a lot of good people live.

1691
01:17:20.960 --> 01:17:21.880
No, and.

1692
01:17:23.680 --> 01:17:28.760
The cruelty of that city just kind of swallows everybody up. Yeah,

1693
01:17:29.600 --> 01:17:32.800
So it's kind of a it's not kind of it's

1694
01:17:32.920 --> 01:17:33.840
deeply heartbreaking.

1695
01:17:33.920 --> 01:17:34.119
It is.

1696
01:17:34.279 --> 01:17:34.319
No.

1697
01:17:34.439 --> 01:17:37.159
And we also meet one of the ship bag cops

1698
01:17:37.199 --> 01:17:39.359
I'll call him, which is played by Marco Rodriguez who

1699
01:17:39.399 --> 01:17:43.039
was Torres, and he's the superior to Albrecht and basically

1700
01:17:43.079 --> 01:17:45.479
tells him that they shouldn't move Shelley without his authorization.

1701
01:17:45.720 --> 01:17:47.319
And this is where we kind of get a taste

1702
01:17:47.319 --> 01:17:48.520
that him and Allbrick don't get along.

1703
01:17:49.119 --> 01:17:49.840
Don't say.

1704
01:17:51.640 --> 01:17:51.680
So.

1705
01:17:52.279 --> 01:17:56.079
One year later, we see that Sarah's visiting the grave.

1706
01:17:56.279 --> 01:17:58.239
We also see that a crow flies to the grave,

1707
01:17:58.600 --> 01:18:01.239
lands on it, and pecks it. And shortly after that

1708
01:18:01.920 --> 01:18:03.279
Eric rises back from the grave.

1709
01:18:03.760 --> 01:18:06.199
Yes he does, and we don't waste a lot of time.

1710
01:18:06.279 --> 01:18:09.279
We don't, Unlike twenty twenty four, what do you mean?

1711
01:18:10.199 --> 01:18:14.159
You know where? Technically he is crow adjacent forty five

1712
01:18:14.239 --> 01:18:16.520
minutes into the movie, you mean, and then the last

1713
01:18:16.600 --> 01:18:18.319
twenty minutes he's full on crowed.

1714
01:18:18.600 --> 01:18:21.840
But in their defense, that time was necessary for them

1715
01:18:21.880 --> 01:18:25.319
to establish the deep depth of love. You're gonna fucking me.

1716
01:18:26.279 --> 01:18:27.159
You brought it up.

1717
01:18:27.840 --> 01:18:28.680
You brought it up.

1718
01:18:28.800 --> 01:18:30.560
Man, I don't know what to tell you.

1719
01:18:30.680 --> 01:18:32.800
I'd make My favorite part of our experience of seeing

1720
01:18:32.840 --> 01:18:34.640
Crow twenty twenty four was you just leaning over to

1721
01:18:34.720 --> 01:18:36.359
me and realizing it was okay for you to make

1722
01:18:36.520 --> 01:18:39.000
jokes finally, because I I sincereously want to know you

1723
01:18:39.079 --> 01:18:39.960
wanted to be a good friend.

1724
01:18:40.199 --> 01:18:42.279
And I was like, what if what if Dave really

1725
01:18:42.359 --> 01:18:44.239
digs this like this movie and I just don't. I'm

1726
01:18:44.279 --> 01:18:46.760
not gonna piss all over And I was like this

1727
01:18:46.920 --> 01:18:48.840
is not good. And then I was like no, I know,

1728
01:18:50.079 --> 01:18:53.000
I know, no, Because because they do such a good

1729
01:18:53.079 --> 01:18:57.079
job in the original Crow of establishing how in love

1730
01:18:57.600 --> 01:19:01.159
Eric and Shelley are and how deep their love goes,

1731
01:19:01.279 --> 01:19:03.920
and how and how important they were to each other.

1732
01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:07.319
Whereas Scars Guard and FKA Twigs are two toxic people

1733
01:19:07.439 --> 01:19:09.439
that break out of a rehab center together.

1734
01:19:09.399 --> 01:19:11.439
They knew each other for weeks. I mean, wouldn't you

1735
01:19:11.600 --> 01:19:13.640
rise from the dead for a when you met? You know,

1736
01:19:13.920 --> 01:19:14.520
a week or two?

1737
01:19:14.800 --> 01:19:15.000
Yeah?

1738
01:19:15.199 --> 01:19:16.439
Yeah, yeah, actually you might.

1739
01:19:16.560 --> 01:19:18.279
I think it's a week. I don't even think it's weeks.

1740
01:19:18.439 --> 01:19:19.319
It could be that short.

1741
01:19:19.399 --> 01:19:20.039
I think it's weak.

1742
01:19:20.399 --> 01:19:23.119
I I don't. I don't trust your memory of such trauma.

1743
01:19:23.239 --> 01:19:25.600
Well here, so here's the thing. I have now seen

1744
01:19:25.680 --> 01:19:28.479
that movie unfortunately three times? What twice in theaters?

1745
01:19:29.479 --> 01:19:29.640
Who?

1746
01:19:30.159 --> 01:19:30.199
What?

1747
01:19:31.640 --> 01:19:33.520
Why did you do? Why do you hate you?

1748
01:19:33.840 --> 01:19:33.880
So?

1749
01:19:34.079 --> 01:19:36.520
You and I saw it for the first time obviously right,

1750
01:19:36.640 --> 01:19:39.239
And then my friend Tosh asked me because she was like,

1751
01:19:39.279 --> 01:19:40.880
no one else will go with me? Will you go

1752
01:19:41.079 --> 01:19:41.319
see this?

1753
01:19:41.439 --> 01:19:42.760
And they're all correct.

1754
01:19:43.520 --> 01:19:44.880
I mean I did say that. I was like, I'm

1755
01:19:44.920 --> 01:19:46.640
not gonna have a good time, but yeah, I'll absolutely

1756
01:19:46.640 --> 01:19:48.680
go see it with you. So we went to see it.

1757
01:19:48.800 --> 01:19:50.279
At the very end, she was like, that's not very good,

1758
01:19:50.279 --> 01:19:54.159
and I was like, I know, right then, Slice and

1759
01:19:54.279 --> 01:19:57.119
I and our friend Melissa the day before Valentine's Day.

1760
01:19:57.239 --> 01:19:59.319
I wanted, I wanted. They had not seen it yet,

1761
01:19:59.319 --> 01:20:01.359
and Melissa is a huge Crow fan, so I was like,

1762
01:20:01.479 --> 01:20:02.479
So you were like, don't watch it.

1763
01:20:02.720 --> 01:20:02.760
No.

1764
01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:04.560
I was like, if you're gonna watch it, let's all

1765
01:20:04.600 --> 01:20:06.640
watch it together. I will put myself through it, and

1766
01:20:06.920 --> 01:20:10.279
we like to give you perspective. I was streaming my

1767
01:20:10.640 --> 01:20:12.800
my laptop to my TV and we were watching it

1768
01:20:12.880 --> 01:20:15.279
through Discord, so like I had a screen like.

1769
01:20:15.319 --> 01:20:17.399
This big on my TV and it was too big.

1770
01:20:18.239 --> 01:20:19.600
That was too much, too much.

1771
01:20:20.079 --> 01:20:22.359
Yeah, so yeah, I've seen twenty twenty four and I

1772
01:20:22.520 --> 01:20:24.439
technically own it digitally in four K, Now.

1773
01:20:25.079 --> 01:20:25.760
I I.

1774
01:20:27.359 --> 01:20:30.000
Don't know why, Like people say, you pick on Dave

1775
01:20:30.039 --> 01:20:31.800
too much. Do you see like Dave treats himself.

1776
01:20:31.880 --> 01:20:34.720
I am kind of a cinemasochist, I guess you could say,

1777
01:20:34.840 --> 01:20:39.119
and in the sense I'm not touching that one, that's fair. Well,

1778
01:20:39.159 --> 01:20:41.399
I mean no, I mean that's it. But yeah, anyway,

1779
01:20:41.520 --> 01:20:44.840
back to the good movie. So by this point, yeah,

1780
01:20:44.960 --> 01:20:47.159
he comes out of the grave. He's screaming and like

1781
01:20:47.279 --> 01:20:49.159
the rain's coming down. At this point, and also all

1782
01:20:49.199 --> 01:20:52.119
this is going on, we meet T Bird and fun

1783
01:20:52.199 --> 01:20:54.640
Boy and the rest of the little party pals as

1784
01:20:54.680 --> 01:20:56.840
he calls um, they're getting ready to blow up an

1785
01:20:56.920 --> 01:20:59.439
arcade and uh, like you do, Yeah, just like you do.

1786
01:20:59.680 --> 01:21:01.279
So we see them set a bomb, we see them

1787
01:21:01.279 --> 01:21:03.319
smashing machines, we see him set the bomb, and then

1788
01:21:03.359 --> 01:21:06.199
they go out. They're driving. While this is all going on,

1789
01:21:06.520 --> 01:21:08.479
Eric's climbing out of the hole. He's trying to figure

1790
01:21:08.520 --> 01:21:10.680
out what's going on. And we also see that Sarah

1791
01:21:10.880 --> 01:21:12.920
is now friends with Albrecht, who's at a hot dog

1792
01:21:13.039 --> 01:21:15.600
stand and he's getting his hot dog. Sarah rides up

1793
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:17.520
and he offers to buy her dinner. Then behind them

1794
01:21:17.560 --> 01:21:20.079
the building explodes and that gets their attention pretty quick.

1795
01:21:20.279 --> 01:21:23.720
One quick question though, Yes, it would be fair to

1796
01:21:23.840 --> 01:21:26.920
say that Draven climbed out of his hole just to

1797
01:21:27.000 --> 01:21:27.840
run rock and roll.

1798
01:21:29.199 --> 01:21:32.520
I saw where you were going with that. I love

1799
01:21:32.600 --> 01:21:34.199
that cover her.

1800
01:21:35.680 --> 01:21:39.800
Demo demo recording Man Behind the Mask.

1801
01:21:39.920 --> 01:21:43.159
Done to what became the song trick Bag by Alice Cooper.

1802
01:21:44.960 --> 01:21:53.199
Title available on Constrictor. So why T Bird and his

1803
01:21:53.319 --> 01:21:55.720
gang getting a car? They're driving They passed some cops,

1804
01:21:55.800 --> 01:21:57.840
but the cops don't come after them. By this point, though,

1805
01:21:58.039 --> 01:22:00.479
Eric has gone back to his original apartment building and

1806
01:22:00.640 --> 01:22:03.399
he's gone up. There's still caution tape on the door.

1807
01:22:03.439 --> 01:22:04.760
And keep in mind this is one year later, so

1808
01:22:04.920 --> 01:22:06.800
the building is basically empty at this point.

1809
01:22:06.800 --> 01:22:09.119
They were already the only people living there appeared.

1810
01:22:09.279 --> 01:22:12.720
Yeah, yeah, So he goes in. He finds his old cat, Gabriel,

1811
01:22:12.760 --> 01:22:14.920
who bites him. And while this is going on, while

1812
01:22:14.960 --> 01:22:18.000
he's inside his apartment, we get flashbacks of what happened

1813
01:22:18.079 --> 01:22:21.319
and Shelley was home alone. T Bird bust in because

1814
01:22:21.359 --> 01:22:23.479
we find out that Shelley was fighting a viction in

1815
01:22:23.600 --> 01:22:26.760
that building owned by Top Dollar and she was basically

1816
01:22:26.800 --> 01:22:29.079
putting out that like the building was not safe, there

1817
01:22:29.319 --> 01:22:31.560
was a lot of code violations and all this stuff,

1818
01:22:31.680 --> 01:22:34.520
and so Top Dollars sent them in to deal with her.

1819
01:22:34.640 --> 01:22:36.840
So she gets attacked by them. She gets raped by them.

1820
01:22:37.279 --> 01:22:39.119
Eric comes in, he gets stabbed as soon as he

1821
01:22:39.159 --> 01:22:43.119
walks in the door, sees them basically assault Shelley, and

1822
01:22:43.159 --> 01:22:44.800
then they end up putting him in front of the window,

1823
01:22:44.920 --> 01:22:47.560
shooting him and he falls out. While all this is happening,

1824
01:22:47.560 --> 01:22:49.640
we're seeing the flashback, and he also jumps out of

1825
01:22:49.680 --> 01:22:52.760
the window, grabs onto this glass and swings and comes

1826
01:22:52.840 --> 01:22:55.279
back in and we see his hands completely heal themselves.

1827
01:22:54.920 --> 01:22:57.319
Which is a great showdown tell moment to really get

1828
01:22:57.359 --> 01:23:00.239
across that he's some kind of supernatural being. Yeah, has

1829
01:23:00.520 --> 01:23:03.640
his cut up hands, heel and it's a very it's

1830
01:23:03.680 --> 01:23:06.439
a it's a classic moment of the movie. One of

1831
01:23:06.479 --> 01:23:09.920
the most memorable images of him swinging through Yeah, it's

1832
01:23:10.000 --> 01:23:13.199
it's all. I mean, any moment where where Brandon Lee

1833
01:23:13.359 --> 01:23:16.479
is the crew crow is doing something physical, Yeah, became

1834
01:23:16.720 --> 01:23:18.960
like everything to every teenage girl.

1835
01:23:18.960 --> 01:23:21.319
Well hey, and speaking of physical activities, then we cut

1836
01:23:21.359 --> 01:23:24.600
to the pit, the local bar, yes, where we find

1837
01:23:24.680 --> 01:23:27.399
t Bird and his party pals taking bullet shots. And

1838
01:23:27.520 --> 01:23:29.319
no that's not just the name of the shot. They

1839
01:23:29.359 --> 01:23:33.199
are literally swallowed swallowing bullets and taking a shot with it.

1840
01:23:33.319 --> 01:23:35.279
Which I don't really recommend.

1841
01:23:36.239 --> 01:23:38.159
Would that like if you farted, that would would that

1842
01:23:38.279 --> 01:23:39.479
like blow out.

1843
01:23:39.359 --> 01:23:42.680
Of your It would depend depend on your barrel size.

1844
01:23:42.760 --> 01:23:46.800
Yeah, Like I just don't know, like what that would

1845
01:23:46.880 --> 01:23:47.800
essentially do to you.

1846
01:23:48.359 --> 01:23:51.520
I mean it wouldn't be good. You'd probably get lead poisoning.

1847
01:23:51.640 --> 01:23:54.399
Oh yeah, depend I don't know, or it might just

1848
01:23:54.479 --> 01:23:55.960
pass out as one whole thing.

1849
01:23:56.960 --> 01:23:59.119
That's a horrible thing. I just imagine just going to

1850
01:23:59.159 --> 01:24:00.840
ship that out and just like shooting.

1851
01:24:00.560 --> 01:24:03.199
Your toilet like Elvis Presley.

1852
01:24:04.680 --> 01:24:07.720
I don't like the show, so naturally they're they're they're

1853
01:24:07.760 --> 01:24:09.760
having a good time, swallowing their bullets and also doing

1854
01:24:09.800 --> 01:24:13.000
their fire it up, Fire it up, Fire it Up.

1855
01:24:13.800 --> 01:24:16.520
That draws over Darla, who is the waitress at the

1856
01:24:16.560 --> 01:24:19.600
bar and also fun Boy's girlfriend, and that's when we

1857
01:24:19.840 --> 01:24:22.239
meet fun Boy, Darla, the rest of the whole crew

1858
01:24:22.239 --> 01:24:22.720
at this point.

1859
01:24:23.119 --> 01:24:27.079
Yes, yes, and they're all just living their best incredibly

1860
01:24:27.199 --> 01:24:31.720
shady lives. Yes, everything is so dirty and sad, yes,

1861
01:24:32.520 --> 01:24:33.359
deeply so.

1862
01:24:34.760 --> 01:24:37.000
Later on we also see that t Bird has to

1863
01:24:37.079 --> 01:24:39.279
go see Top Dollar and he goes into the club

1864
01:24:39.520 --> 01:24:42.000
and we see that the band's performing. We also meet

1865
01:24:42.079 --> 01:24:44.239
Grange played by the late great Tony Todd, who is

1866
01:24:44.600 --> 01:24:46.399
Top dollars right hand man, and he's like, you know,

1867
01:24:46.680 --> 01:24:48.239
is he busy? And he's like he's having a meeting?

1868
01:24:48.840 --> 01:24:52.000
Where is He's actually just I think killed a prostitude

1869
01:24:52.079 --> 01:24:54.319
or a young woman, I can't tell which, and they're

1870
01:24:54.359 --> 01:24:55.680
getting ready to cut her eyes out.

1871
01:24:56.000 --> 01:24:57.279
Well, like you do, like you do.

1872
01:24:57.680 --> 01:25:00.319
Tony Todd's performance in this movie is really interesting. Yeah,

1873
01:25:00.560 --> 01:25:03.760
because everybody is larger than life except him.

1874
01:25:03.840 --> 01:25:05.159
Yeah, he's just.

1875
01:25:05.279 --> 01:25:06.039
Like their accountant.

1876
01:25:06.119 --> 01:25:07.239
Yeah, like he is just a.

1877
01:25:08.880 --> 01:25:12.880
Very normal guy in a very abnormal situation.

1878
01:25:13.039 --> 01:25:14.920
Well, I mean you've got so You've got David Patrick

1879
01:25:14.960 --> 01:25:17.159
Kelly who plays t Bird, which is he's the guy

1880
01:25:17.279 --> 01:25:20.199
from the Warriors. He's in k Pax, He's in Twin Peaks.

1881
01:25:20.239 --> 01:25:21.760

01:25:33.079 --> 01:25:35.960
So we meet top Dollar and his sister, who is

1887
01:25:36.159 --> 01:25:38.079
who's played by Bi Ling, whose name is Micah, and

1888
01:25:38.399 --> 01:25:40.560
we just get a sense that Top Dollar is a

1889
01:25:40.640 --> 01:25:42.279
guy you don't want to fuck with.

1890
01:25:42.800 --> 01:25:43.560
What makes you think that?

1891
01:25:43.800 --> 01:25:48.159
Well, the deep Michael Wincott voice for one, Yeah, and

1892
01:25:48.279 --> 01:25:51.359
the hair, and he also is looking at a snow globe,

1893
01:25:51.399 --> 01:25:54.479
like a really gothic snow globe, and he basically says

1894
01:25:54.520 --> 01:25:56.560
that my father told me childhood's over the moment, you know,

his sisters. They're also smoking that chick's eyes at one

1898
01:26:07.640 --> 01:26:09.000
point in the next scene.

01:26:08.800 --> 01:26:13.199
To yeah, yeah, these villains are something.

1900
01:26:13.840 --> 01:26:17.039
So cutting back to Eric, he decides that he is

1901
01:26:17.159 --> 01:26:20.359
going to uh get himself all crowed up, and he

1902
01:26:21.079 --> 01:26:23.439
has flashbacks of what happened to Shelley. He gets Rachel,

1903
01:26:23.520 --> 01:26:25.640
punches the mirror, puts on his makeup while the Cure

1904
01:26:25.720 --> 01:26:27.439
plays burn which is one of my favorite songs off

1905
01:26:27.479 --> 01:26:28.039
the soundtrack.

1906
01:26:28.119 --> 01:26:31.760
He chooses the look of the crow based on a

1907
01:26:31.880 --> 01:26:35.359
mask I'm assuming he was going to wear on Halloween, Yeah, which.

1908
01:26:35.319 --> 01:26:38.000
Was a min Yeah my mask. What there's a name

1909
01:26:38.119 --> 01:26:41.880
for it with with it's the laughter and the sad face.

1910
01:26:42.920 --> 01:26:44.520
Well that's the drama and comedy faces.

1911
01:26:44.640 --> 01:26:47.920
Yeah, but there isn't there another name for it? Yeah?

1912
01:26:47.920 --> 01:26:49.840
I think there is. But yeah, he punches the mirror.

1913
01:26:49.960 --> 01:26:52.600
We slip into Burned by the Cure and he's putting

1914
01:26:52.640 --> 01:26:55.359
on the makeup. He's putting on his coat. Comedy and

1915
01:26:55.439 --> 01:26:58.119
tragedy mask codan trend may Okay, So then he is

1916
01:26:58.279 --> 01:27:01.399
just jumping from rooftops rooftop because he is now on

1917
01:27:01.560 --> 01:27:04.319
the hunt for Tintin. And we meet Tintin, who is

1918
01:27:04.399 --> 01:27:07.119
visiting Gideon's pawn shop because he's just robbed and or

1919
01:27:07.239 --> 01:27:10.279
killed somebody, and Gideon is like, you know, oh, you know,

1920
01:27:10.319 --> 01:27:12.119
well there's blood on this purse. You know, I'll give you.

1921
01:27:12.199 --> 01:27:13.840
I'll give you twenty bucks. That's the best I can

1922
01:27:13.920 --> 01:27:16.359
give you. Him and ten Tin have a relationship of

1923
01:27:16.399 --> 01:27:18.279
selling stuff, but he knows exactly where it comes from.

1924
01:27:18.800 --> 01:27:19.000
Yeah.

1925
01:27:19.279 --> 01:27:22.520
Yeah, So Gideon kicks Tintin out and he locks up,

1926
01:27:22.720 --> 01:27:26.760
and that's when Eric eventually reaches Gideon's pawn shop, knocks

1927
01:27:26.800 --> 01:27:29.159
on the glass and Gideon's like, we're closed. But that

1928
01:27:29.439 --> 01:27:32.439
is not going to phase mister Draven. As he breaks

1929
01:27:32.479 --> 01:27:35.359
through the glass, the crow flies through, and he quotes

1930
01:27:35.439 --> 01:27:38.159
Poe as he walks in and says, suddenly there came

1931
01:27:38.159 --> 01:27:40.399
a tapping, as is someone gently rapping, rapping at my

1932
01:27:40.479 --> 01:27:40.960
chamber door.

1933
01:27:41.079 --> 01:27:41.760
That was a raven.

1934
01:27:42.000 --> 01:27:46.880
Yeah, I'm sure, oh, speaking of ravens that wait for

1935
01:27:46.960 --> 01:27:51.399
the trivia Oh okay, oh yeah. So he basically says,

1936
01:27:51.439 --> 01:27:53.159
you know, I want to know where Tintin is. I'm

1937
01:27:53.199 --> 01:27:55.439
looking for an engagement ring. And he's like, you know,

1938
01:27:55.479 --> 01:27:57.680
you're looking for a corner. Shit for brains shoots him

1939
01:27:57.880 --> 01:27:59.920
right in the hand and that's when he looks at

1940
01:27:59.920 --> 01:28:01.920
it hand. He's laughing, he's acting like it's hurt, and

1941
01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:04.199
then he shows Gideon as his hands completely just closes

1942
01:28:04.319 --> 01:28:05.199
up and laughs more.

1943
01:28:05.600 --> 01:28:05.800
Yeah.

1944
01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:09.520
It's a it's a pretty great like superhero moment. Yeah.

1945
01:28:09.680 --> 01:28:12.159
So he ends up getting it out of Gideon that

1946
01:28:12.239 --> 01:28:13.680
where the rings are, and he goes through and we

1947
01:28:13.680 --> 01:28:15.840
see him going through the box and he finally is like, no,

1948
01:28:15.920 --> 01:28:17.640
that's not it, that's not it, and then he finds one.

1949
01:28:18.079 --> 01:28:20.159
Flashes back to him giving Shelley the ring, which was

1950
01:28:20.199 --> 01:28:22.520
a really sweet proposal of her going into the attic

1951
01:28:22.560 --> 01:28:24.560
and he had everything set up for her. So the

1952
01:28:24.840 --> 01:28:28.880
they were together for years at this point. Yeah, versus

1953
01:28:29.199 --> 01:28:30.920
twenty twenty four, which was a week.

1954
01:28:31.000 --> 01:28:34.119
Again, I didn't even bring it up.

1955
01:28:34.199 --> 01:28:36.720
No, I'm just I wanted that movie to be good

1956
01:28:36.880 --> 01:28:37.319
so bad.

1957
01:28:37.479 --> 01:28:40.079
I know, buddy, I know, I know, And but you know,

1958
01:28:40.199 --> 01:28:42.479
watching it two more times did it help it made

1959
01:28:42.479 --> 01:28:42.760
it better?

1960
01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:43.000
Right? No?

1961
01:28:43.039 --> 01:28:45.840
No, it didn't. Actually no, although I will say the

1962
01:28:45.920 --> 01:28:48.159
soundtrack on that movie's not bad. It's got some It's

1963
01:28:48.159 --> 01:28:50.680
got some pretty good songs, not not as great as

1964
01:28:50.720 --> 01:28:53.359
the Crow soundtrack. The Crow soundtrack from ninety four is amazing.

1965
01:28:54.079 --> 01:28:56.119
Twenty twenty four soundtrack has a couple good cuts.

1966
01:28:57.279 --> 01:29:00.560
What I feel like the best response to just look

1967
01:29:00.600 --> 01:29:02.319
at you, just keep looking. Yeah.

1968
01:29:03.199 --> 01:29:06.199
So he gets the ring and he confronts Gideon and

1969
01:29:06.279 --> 01:29:08.760
he's like, you know, h Tin or oh wait, no,

1970
01:29:08.840 --> 01:29:11.960
I'm actually getting ahead of myself. So he actually falls

1971
01:29:12.039 --> 01:29:14.000
off a roof in front of ten ten and that's

1972
01:29:14.000 --> 01:29:15.760
how they get into the fight. So Tin Tin is like,

1973
01:29:15.840 --> 01:29:17.520
you know, what are you all paying up for? Crackhead?

1974
01:29:17.520 --> 01:29:20.199
Halloween's not until tomorrow. They get into a fight. He

1975
01:29:20.279 --> 01:29:22.439
can even Tintin confesses that, you know, he's the one

1976
01:29:22.479 --> 01:29:25.399
that killed Shelley, and then Draven stabs him with all

1977
01:29:25.479 --> 01:29:27.640
of Tintin's knives because tim Tin is a knife guy

1978
01:29:28.640 --> 01:29:30.960
mostly yeah, And so he gets all his knives stabbed

1979
01:29:30.960 --> 01:29:32.119
into him, and that's when he's like, you know, do

1980
01:29:32.159 --> 01:29:34.279
you like the coat when you're seeing Gideon confesses that

1981
01:29:34.319 --> 01:29:35.680
he killed Tin Tin. He can fight it to me

1982
01:29:35.680 --> 01:29:38.000
before he ran out of breath is the line, and

1983
01:29:38.119 --> 01:29:39.920
so that's when he tells him that fun Boy and

1984
01:29:40.000 --> 01:29:41.840
all those guys hang out at the pit. So now

1985
01:29:41.920 --> 01:29:43.640
his target is fun Boy and he's gonna go find

1986
01:29:43.680 --> 01:29:45.439
fun Boy because he lives above the pit.

1987
01:29:45.640 --> 01:29:46.199
Right right.

1988
01:29:46.399 --> 01:29:48.960
But he also by this point is pointing a shotgun

1989
01:29:48.960 --> 01:29:50.880
at Gideon and pouring gas over the place and says,

1990
01:29:50.920 --> 01:29:52.319
you have one chance to live, and he's like, take

1991
01:29:52.359 --> 01:29:55.359
anything you want, and he's like, thank you. And then

1992
01:29:55.439 --> 01:29:57.039
as he's walking out, he's like, you know you're they're

1993
01:29:57.039 --> 01:29:59.359
gonna erase you. You're nothing but street grease, motherfucker. And

1994
01:29:59.399 --> 01:30:01.720
he's like, is that asilen I spell? He dumps the

1995
01:30:01.840 --> 01:30:04.600
rings into the shotgun and goes outside and blast and

1996
01:30:04.720 --> 01:30:08.359
blows up Gideon's paunch shop. He sure does, and Gideon

1997
01:30:08.399 --> 01:30:09.399
makes it out in time.

1998
01:30:09.760 --> 01:30:13.319
Yes, just barely the skin of his dick. And and

1999
01:30:13.720 --> 01:30:15.520
that's the thing. I mean, most of what this movie

2000
01:30:15.640 --> 01:30:20.199
really is is like the hyper romantic Gothy moments. Yeah,

2001
01:30:20.520 --> 01:30:23.880
with Draven kind of accepting his circumstance and then pretty

2002
01:30:23.920 --> 01:30:28.800
straightforward but very creative vengeance killings. Yeah, that's pretty much

2003
01:30:28.840 --> 01:30:30.560
the Crow. Yeah, yeah, no, it absolutely is.

2004
01:30:30.680 --> 01:30:33.159
So from this point now he goes to see fun Boy,

2005
01:30:33.279 --> 01:30:35.319
fun Boy, and Darlar above the pit getting high in

2006
01:30:35.399 --> 01:30:39.279
his apartment. Eric comes in and like they're high, so

2007
01:30:39.359 --> 01:30:41.039
they don't even think he's real. And he's like, you know,

2008
01:30:41.159 --> 01:30:43.199
you should take your burd and leave Freako. And then

2009
01:30:43.239 --> 01:30:45.239
once again he's like, you know, take your shot, fumboy,

2010
01:30:45.279 --> 01:30:47.359
you got me dead. Bang fun Boy shoots him in

2011
01:30:47.359 --> 01:30:49.760
the hand. We get the whole laughing thing again, and

2012
01:30:49.880 --> 01:30:51.760
that's when he's like, holy shit, like don't you ever

2013
01:30:51.840 --> 01:30:54.760
fucking die, shoots him some more. And that's when I

2014
01:30:54.920 --> 01:30:58.039
love it, because he uh, he shoots fun Boy and

2015
01:30:58.239 --> 01:31:00.319
right in the leg and he goes, look what did

2016
01:31:00.399 --> 01:31:01.239
to my sheets?

2017
01:31:01.600 --> 01:31:04.520
Yeah? I remember that even from when I was a kid.

2018
01:31:04.560 --> 01:31:05.439
I thought that was hilarious.

2019
01:31:05.439 --> 01:31:07.600
So by this point, Darla is hiding in the bathroom.

2020
01:31:07.680 --> 01:31:10.079
She's got a straight razor Eric bust In and she

2021
01:31:10.239 --> 01:31:11.960
tries to swing at him. He knocks the razor from

2022
01:31:11.960 --> 01:31:13.960
her and then he takes her arm and he's like, look,

2023
01:31:14.279 --> 01:31:16.199
you know, mother is the name of God on the

2024
01:31:16.239 --> 01:31:18.560
lips of children. Your daughter's out on the street. Because

2025
01:31:18.600 --> 01:31:20.680
we find out that she's actually taking care of Sarah.

2026
01:31:20.800 --> 01:31:22.399
Yeah, well she's Sarah's mother, Sarah's mother.

2027
01:31:22.520 --> 01:31:27.079
Yeah, And so she is taking her arm and he

2028
01:31:27.399 --> 01:31:29.800
sucks the morphine out of her arm as he's as

2029
01:31:29.840 --> 01:31:31.560
he's talking to her and he's like, you know, go out,

2030
01:31:31.600 --> 01:31:34.720
your daughter's on the street. Leaves, and then fun Boy

2031
01:31:35.079 --> 01:31:37.199
is on the ground. Eric goes to him with a

2032
01:31:37.279 --> 01:31:39.119
syringe and he's like, you know, no, don't do it.

2033
01:31:39.199 --> 01:31:42.199
You're wasting it. By this point, Grange has now gotten

2034
01:31:42.199 --> 01:31:44.800
into fun Boy's apartment because Gideon has been found at

2035
01:31:44.840 --> 01:31:46.640
the pit, and he's like, you know what's going on.

2036
01:31:46.800 --> 01:31:49.840
Darla comes down screaming, and when he gets upstairs, he

2037
01:31:50.119 --> 01:31:52.640
sees Eric go sh and ducks out the window, and

2038
01:31:52.760 --> 01:31:55.760
then Funboy now has a syringe in his chest of

2039
01:31:55.960 --> 01:31:57.359
blood of the crow symbol.

2040
01:31:57.960 --> 01:32:01.800
Yeah, yeah, no, no, Like I said, it's it's the

2041
01:32:02.239 --> 01:32:06.520
imagery strong. The revenge is very creative. Yeah, you know,

2042
01:32:06.600 --> 01:32:10.079
my comment wasn't to negate the film movie or that

2043
01:32:10.279 --> 01:32:13.319
there's a simplicity to the Crow. There is, which is fine.

2044
01:32:13.359 --> 01:32:14.439
It works very well for it.

2045
01:32:14.560 --> 01:32:16.239
Yeah, no, what I mean, and that's I think that's

2046
01:32:16.279 --> 01:32:18.600
what twenty twenty four is. I mean, there's a lot

2047
01:32:18.640 --> 01:32:20.279
of things that twenty twenty four is missing, but that

2048
01:32:20.479 --> 01:32:25.880
is one, especially where our villain is completely supernatural at

2049
01:32:25.920 --> 01:32:28.760
this point, there's a whole storyline going on with him

2050
01:32:28.800 --> 01:32:33.920
infecting younger people. And yeah, I could talk about that movie,

2051
01:32:34.000 --> 01:32:34.680
but I don't want to.

2052
01:32:34.920 --> 01:32:38.439
You don't know. Oh, I'm sorry, I'll stop bringing it up.

2053
01:32:38.520 --> 01:32:40.359
Then it's hard for me.

2054
01:32:41.520 --> 01:32:47.359
I know it's called trauma. David. I'm surprised that a

2055
01:32:47.479 --> 01:32:50.640
year later, on the anniversary of the Crow remake coming out,

2056
01:32:50.760 --> 01:32:53.600
you didn't rise from the grave and get vengeance on.

2057
01:32:53.880 --> 01:32:58.840
It's coming everybody, It's coming literally next month. Actually, yeah,

2058
01:32:59.319 --> 01:33:02.039
because wasn't it, because it was right before my Bert. No, No,

2059
01:33:02.359 --> 01:33:03.479
it was October, wasn't it.

2060
01:33:03.960 --> 01:33:05.119
I don't think it was October.

2061
01:33:05.199 --> 01:33:06.159
Fuck it. Well, now I'm curious.

2062
01:33:06.520 --> 01:33:07.000
I'll look at it.

2063
01:33:08.039 --> 01:33:10.960
So anyway, by this point, Allbrect has now found Tintin's

2064
01:33:10.960 --> 01:33:12.920
body and he's like, you know, this could be a

2065
01:33:13.000 --> 01:33:15.960
gang hit. We don't suspect anything. And also after Gideon's

2066
01:33:15.960 --> 01:33:19.000
pawnshot blows up, all Breck pulls up and he stops Draven,

2067
01:33:19.520 --> 01:33:22.000
and Draven immediately recognizes him and he's like, you know,

2068
01:33:23.479 --> 01:33:25.079
stop or I'll shoot, and he's like, I thought the

2069
01:33:25.119 --> 01:33:27.039
police always said freeze. And he's like, well, I'm the

2070
01:33:27.079 --> 01:33:29.640
police and I'm saying stop or I'll shoot. And I'm dead,

2071
01:33:29.880 --> 01:33:33.880
so I move. It's Draven's line. Basically, we find out

2072
01:33:34.000 --> 01:33:36.640
that Draven still remembers all Breck, still remembers what he did,

2073
01:33:36.680 --> 01:33:38.680
and they kind of form an alliance at this point.

2074
01:33:38.760 --> 01:33:40.680
But that's when he goes to seem in As apartment.

2075
01:33:40.880 --> 01:33:44.880
That right now August twenty third, Okay, that's the release

2076
01:33:45.000 --> 01:33:46.800
date of the Superior Crow.

2077
01:33:46.880 --> 01:33:50.279
Superior Crow. I'll fucking kill you, I know. So he

2078
01:33:50.359 --> 01:33:52.079
goes to see all Breck, and all Brek by this

2079
01:33:52.199 --> 01:33:54.840
point has both alerted us as the audience that he

2080
01:33:54.960 --> 01:33:56.920
has been put on the beat by Torres because he

2081
01:33:56.960 --> 01:33:59.479
got a little too close to something back, and also

2082
01:33:59.680 --> 01:34:02.600
he's kind of suspecting that something might be up with

2083
01:34:02.760 --> 01:34:05.359
the anniversary of their death. He's even got a picture

2084
01:34:05.399 --> 01:34:08.560
of Eric's band Hangman's Curse, and he's drawing on him,

2085
01:34:08.640 --> 01:34:09.960
like the face makeup.

2086
01:34:10.119 --> 01:34:12.720
Yeah, yeah, trying to put two and two together.

2087
01:34:12.920 --> 01:34:14.760
So we meet all Or. We go to all rex

2088
01:34:14.840 --> 01:34:17.039
apartment and he's got his hat on. He's looking at

2089
01:34:17.079 --> 01:34:19.359
the picture and Eric comes in spooks him, and he's

2090
01:34:19.399 --> 01:34:21.319
looking at the picture and he's like nice likeness, So

2091
01:34:21.479 --> 01:34:22.199
he's figured it out.

2092
01:34:22.359 --> 01:34:25.600
This is one of my favorite scenes. Yeah, because I

2093
01:34:25.640 --> 01:34:28.960
remember I said, like, it's funny, and then it's also funny.

2094
01:34:29.039 --> 01:34:29.399
M hmm.

2095
01:34:30.039 --> 01:34:33.079
It's funny because it is legitimately funny. Yeah, and then

2096
01:34:33.079 --> 01:34:34.880
it's a little funny because it gets silly a few times.

2097
01:34:35.039 --> 01:34:37.239
But this is one of those really great sequences, genuine

2098
01:34:37.279 --> 01:34:39.640
where he's just talking with him. I love you know,

2099
01:34:39.720 --> 01:34:41.479
when he takes the cigarette from himuffs it says, you

2100
01:34:41.479 --> 01:34:43.640
should smoke these d But.

2101
01:34:44.600 --> 01:34:46.399
My favorite, though, is when he comes in and he's like, uh,

2102
01:34:46.439 --> 01:34:47.720
He's like, you still have your hat on because he

2103
01:34:47.760 --> 01:34:49.479
doesn't have any pants, you still.

2104
01:34:49.319 --> 01:34:50.960
Have your hat on. But the way he says it

2105
01:34:51.119 --> 01:34:53.000
is so like matter of fact. My point is that

2106
01:34:54.439 --> 01:34:57.199
that that these are the moments that make you see

2107
01:34:58.119 --> 01:35:01.600
what a fucking movie Brandon Lee was ready to be

2108
01:35:02.600 --> 01:35:07.560
because his levity is humanity goes right through the lens

2109
01:35:07.680 --> 01:35:10.119
and into you, and he had it.

2110
01:35:10.880 --> 01:35:11.159
He did.

2111
01:35:11.439 --> 01:35:15.680
And that's kind of the part that I hate about

2112
01:35:15.880 --> 01:35:18.239
those sequences where he gets to say the funny thing

2113
01:35:18.359 --> 01:35:20.800
here and there, because and like toward the end, you know,

2114
01:35:20.880 --> 01:35:22.840
when he's when he has the little levity moments when

2115
01:35:22.880 --> 01:35:26.079
he realizes he's you know, he could die again. Yeah,

2116
01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:30.039
I love that stuff. Because but I hate it because

2117
01:35:30.960 --> 01:35:35.279
he's so good and it's so clear even if the

2118
01:35:35.359 --> 01:35:38.680
Crow would come out without that accident and had been

2119
01:35:38.840 --> 01:35:42.239
like a minor hit or even a kind of a flop,

2120
01:35:42.600 --> 01:35:44.520
I think he still would have ended up getting cast

2121
01:35:44.640 --> 01:35:45.720
and he would have a huge movie.

2122
01:35:46.640 --> 01:35:49.279
And I mean this, this scene in particular both builds

2123
01:35:49.319 --> 01:35:51.600
the relationship for him in All Breck, because not only

2124
01:35:51.680 --> 01:35:53.960
do we find out that all Brecks stayed with Shelley

2125
01:35:54.079 --> 01:35:56.439
the entire time while she was fighting for her life,

2126
01:35:56.680 --> 01:35:59.039
and and he gets that by great by He's like,

2127
01:35:59.119 --> 01:36:00.920
you know, Shelley, you know, passed at this point. And

2128
01:36:01.039 --> 01:36:02.920
by this point, Eric goes up to grab his head

2129
01:36:03.119 --> 01:36:05.159
and he like sees his thoughts, sees or sees his

2130
01:36:05.239 --> 01:36:07.880
vision and everything, and he passes through it and he's like,

2131
01:36:07.920 --> 01:36:09.920
you know, can I help. He's like, don't touch me. Yeah,

2132
01:36:09.960 --> 01:36:11.359
and he's like, you stayed with her. He's like, I

2133
01:36:11.439 --> 01:36:13.159
saw I saw her through your eyes. You stayed with her.

2134
01:36:13.199 --> 01:36:14.720
And he's like, yeah, I was hoping she would come

2135
01:36:14.760 --> 01:36:16.319
out of it, and like, give me something to go

2136
01:36:16.479 --> 01:36:19.560
off of. And he basically says, you know, little things

2137
01:36:19.640 --> 01:36:21.680
to so Shelley seems so trivial, but now I found

2138
01:36:21.680 --> 01:36:23.680
that nothing's trivial because we also find out that all

2139
01:36:23.720 --> 01:36:26.159
Reck and his wife are separating, Yeah, and that's kind

2140
01:36:26.159 --> 01:36:28.439
of a moment for them to relate and everything. And

2141
01:36:28.680 --> 01:36:32.119
my favorite point of this whole thing is he basically

2142
01:36:32.560 --> 01:36:34.439
go he goes, so are you going to disappear now?

2143
01:36:34.439 --> 01:36:36.039
And he's like, actually, I thought i'd use your front door.

2144
01:36:36.239 --> 01:36:38.760
Yeah, that's another great line. Actually I thought i'd used

2145
01:36:38.800 --> 01:36:41.640
the front door. He's so good at saying those things

2146
01:36:41.680 --> 01:36:45.960
so matter of factly. Yeah, And honestly, you couldn't have

2147
01:36:46.039 --> 01:36:48.520
asked for a better person for these scenes, especially for

2148
01:36:48.600 --> 01:36:52.239
your big feature debut, your huge feature debut. Yeah. Then

2149
01:36:52.399 --> 01:36:55.520
being in these scenes with Ernie Hudson, who is just

2150
01:36:55.680 --> 01:36:59.039
one of the best actors of a generation. I mean,

2151
01:36:59.079 --> 01:37:02.920
he's so good at being subtle and earnest and authoritative

2152
01:37:02.960 --> 01:37:05.399
all at once. He could be so many things yeah

2153
01:37:05.520 --> 01:37:08.640
at the same time. So their chemistry is just right

2154
01:37:08.680 --> 01:37:10.600
there from the moment it starts. And I think that

2155
01:37:10.680 --> 01:37:12.560
a lot of that has to do with Ernie Hudson's experience,

2156
01:37:12.560 --> 01:37:14.520
because one of the best things you can do for

2157
01:37:14.640 --> 01:37:17.880
a younger actor is put them with somebody with much

2158
01:37:17.920 --> 01:37:21.159
more experience. Absolutely, because they'll they'll feed off each other.

2159
01:37:21.239 --> 01:37:23.159
It's very rare that somebody's so bad they make an

2160
01:37:23.239 --> 01:37:26.640
experienced actor worse. It's usually always the experienced actor makes

2161
01:37:26.680 --> 01:37:27.319
everybody better.

2162
01:37:27.399 --> 01:37:29.359
Yeah, I actually so. I actually got to meet Ernie

2163
01:37:29.399 --> 01:37:32.680
Hudson back in two thousand, probably been like twenty ten

2164
01:37:32.760 --> 01:37:35.039
or so. It would have been at Scarefest, and I'm

2165
01:37:35.119 --> 01:37:37.159
naturally I was a huge Crow fan at that point too,

2166
01:37:37.279 --> 01:37:38.880
So I asked him, you know what it was like

2167
01:37:38.920 --> 01:37:41.279
working with Brandon, and he said, Brandon was just a

2168
01:37:41.680 --> 01:37:44.640
was just so human that he was just so fun

2169
01:37:44.720 --> 01:37:46.520
to talk to. He had a great sense of humor,

2170
01:37:46.560 --> 01:37:50.359
but also just loved being like there in the moment,

2171
01:37:50.439 --> 01:37:52.600
and that's why they had such great chemistry. And even

2172
01:37:52.800 --> 01:37:54.319
Ad lived most of that scene too.

2173
01:37:54.640 --> 01:37:55.960
I believe that, yeah, for sure.

2174
01:37:56.479 --> 01:37:59.560
So by this point now he knows that he's got

2175
01:37:59.640 --> 01:38:02.159
to go after t Bird, Skank and a couple other people.

2176
01:38:03.000 --> 01:38:05.199
So t Bird has gone to top Dollar at this

2177
01:38:05.279 --> 01:38:08.720
point told him that one of his crew got himself perished.

2178
01:38:08.760 --> 01:38:10.800
Tintin got all his blades stuck in his organs in

2179
01:38:10.840 --> 01:38:14.279
alphabetical order. One of my favorite line alphabetical order, and

2180
01:38:14.359 --> 01:38:16.039
I love it because he's like, oh well, homent of

2181
01:38:16.119 --> 01:38:17.960
silence for Poro Tintin does blow.

2182
01:38:18.359 --> 01:38:23.399
Yeah, yeah, Top Dollar he's you know, he's he wears

2183
01:38:23.439 --> 01:38:24.600
his heart on his sleep. Yeah.

2184
01:38:24.920 --> 01:38:27.119
So Top Dollar reminds me and he's working for him tomorrow.

2185
01:38:27.199 --> 01:38:29.039
But also by this point, Gideon has been brought to

2186
01:38:29.119 --> 01:38:30.800
Top Dollar because they want to know why his pawn

2187
01:38:30.880 --> 01:38:33.239
chop exploded, and that's when he tells him that it

2188
01:38:33.399 --> 01:38:35.319
was His name was Draven, he had a bird. And

2189
01:38:36.000 --> 01:38:38.279
that's when Top Dollars heard enough of him and sticks

2190
01:38:38.319 --> 01:38:40.039
a sword right through Gideon's throat.

2191
01:38:40.319 --> 01:38:41.319
Yep, yep.

2192
01:38:41.880 --> 01:38:43.720
Gideon played by the Great Joe Blito. By the way,

2193
01:38:43.760 --> 01:38:45.920
Oh yeah, yeah, Joe Alito is fantastic in this movie,

2194
01:38:45.960 --> 01:38:48.119
but fantastic and pretty much everything he's hit and.

2195
01:38:48.159 --> 01:38:50.079
He was just that guy, yeah, like all of the

2196
01:38:50.199 --> 01:38:51.640
nineties in the early two thousands.

2197
01:38:52.000 --> 01:38:55.520
So by this point now he's moving on to T Bird.

2198
01:38:55.640 --> 01:38:59.239
So T Bird and Skank have gone to T Bird's car.

2199
01:38:59.319 --> 01:39:01.680
They're waiting on to show up, but obviously fun Boy's

2200
01:39:01.720 --> 01:39:04.479
not gonna show up, huh. So that's when he sends

2201
01:39:04.520 --> 01:39:07.239
Skank into the gas station for road beers and smokes.

2202
01:39:07.279 --> 01:39:11.039
I love the line road beers, road beers, yeah.

2203
01:39:11.319 --> 01:39:15.800
Smokes, road beers, be quick. So fun story deleted scene

2204
01:39:15.840 --> 01:39:19.640
wise or chopped out of the movie entirely when this

2205
01:39:20.159 --> 01:39:22.720
was in the work print. There are two kids that

2206
01:39:22.760 --> 01:39:24.720
go into this convenience store when Skank's in there, that

2207
01:39:24.840 --> 01:39:27.680
start robbing it. Skank gets shot. That's why he's limping

2208
01:39:27.800 --> 01:39:28.880
when he's chasing the car.

2209
01:39:29.399 --> 01:39:30.399
Oh yeah, he is limping.

2210
01:39:30.479 --> 01:39:32.920
Mm hmm. Yeah, he gets shot by the kids that

2211
01:39:33.000 --> 01:39:35.359
are trying to rob the convenience store. So anyway, uh,

2212
01:39:35.640 --> 01:39:38.239
Draven is actually in Tiebird's car and tie Bird goes

2213
01:39:38.239 --> 01:39:40.880
to light of smoke. The wind blows and Draven pops out,

2214
01:39:40.920 --> 01:39:42.439
points a gun on him and says, you know, you know,

2215
01:39:42.479 --> 01:39:44.760
who the fuck are you? And he's like, I'm your passenger. Drive.

2216
01:39:45.520 --> 01:39:47.640
So he's driving tee Bird through the city. They get

2217
01:39:47.680 --> 01:39:50.199
the cops attention by this point. But anyway, fun Boy's

2218
01:39:50.319 --> 01:39:52.479
chasing him and he ends up stealing a car and

2219
01:39:52.560 --> 01:39:54.840
also chasing him, gets ran into by the cops. It's

2220
01:39:54.840 --> 01:39:55.880
a whole fucking sequence.

2221
01:39:56.039 --> 01:39:58.399
Fun Boy, by the way, runs in the middle of

2222
01:39:58.439 --> 01:39:59.880
the street to see what's going on, gets hit by

2223
01:39:59.880 --> 01:40:01.920
a car. Oh sorry, what was his name?

2224
01:40:01.960 --> 01:40:02.560
Skank skank.

2225
01:40:02.560 --> 01:40:04.640
Oh yes, skank skank gets hit by a car.

2226
01:40:04.760 --> 01:40:04.960
Yeah.

2227
01:40:05.000 --> 01:40:06.399
The guy gets out of the car and goes, what's

2228
01:40:06.399 --> 01:40:09.000
wrong with you hit my car? Stupid ass hair, You

2229
01:40:09.159 --> 01:40:14.199
hit my car with your body. Stupid ass hair, you

2230
01:40:14.279 --> 01:40:18.279
hit my car. But like you're a pedestrian. He's yelling

2231
01:40:18.319 --> 01:40:20.319
at the pedestrian you get with his car, and then

2232
01:40:20.359 --> 01:40:21.199
he steals.

2233
01:40:20.920 --> 01:40:22.359
The seals his car, gets him in the nuts, steals

2234
01:40:22.359 --> 01:40:25.600
his car because I love god damp Ford cars. Because

2235
01:40:25.600 --> 01:40:28.479
then you also have the cops. So Teebird is racing

2236
01:40:28.479 --> 01:40:30.479
because he dreams got his gun on him. They go

2237
01:40:30.600 --> 01:40:32.680
past his alley and the cops are having their coffee

2238
01:40:32.680 --> 01:40:34.399
and he's like, what is this creamer? I can't believe

2239
01:40:34.399 --> 01:40:36.920
they can't even call it creamer legally. They speed past.

2240
01:40:36.960 --> 01:40:38.760
He goes, what the crap and then the cops just

2241
01:40:38.800 --> 01:40:42.880
get coffee dumped on them. Yeah that's going ah so,

2242
01:40:44.000 --> 01:40:45.920
So by this point they get away from the cops

2243
01:40:46.039 --> 01:40:49.039
and he takes a teber to the docks and he

2244
01:40:49.159 --> 01:40:50.960
ties him up in the car. He gets a road

2245
01:40:51.039 --> 01:40:53.239
flare and by this point, like tee Bird's like, you know, oh,

2246
01:40:53.359 --> 01:40:54.960
you know what, what what are you talking about? Man?

2247
01:40:55.119 --> 01:40:56.840
Like you can't be here, like we put you through

2248
01:40:56.880 --> 01:40:58.880
the window. There ain't no coming back. There ain't no

2249
01:40:59.000 --> 01:40:59.479
coming back.

2250
01:40:59.560 --> 01:41:01.560
Yeah, And he's he says it so matter of factly.

2251
01:41:01.800 --> 01:41:03.760
So scared, Yeah, terrified.

2252
01:41:03.439 --> 01:41:07.560
And t Bird through the movie quotes Paradise lost, bash

2253
01:41:07.600 --> 01:41:10.199
the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is. He's

2254
01:41:10.279 --> 01:41:12.680
doing this quote the whole time, like that they're attacking Shelley.

2255
01:41:12.720 --> 01:41:16.199
And he also starts doing it here because Draven takes

2256
01:41:16.239 --> 01:41:19.800
a road flare lights it throws it right into his crotch,

2257
01:41:19.880 --> 01:41:21.520
So his crutch is going to be gone even before

2258
01:41:21.560 --> 01:41:23.800
the car explodes. By the way, because those flames burn.

2259
01:41:23.720 --> 01:41:27.800
Hot experience, I think it. It looked it up one day,

2260
01:41:28.319 --> 01:41:31.279
right of course, so college man.

2261
01:41:31.479 --> 01:41:34.920
So by this point Tebird is now sent down the dog.

2262
01:41:35.119 --> 01:41:37.800
Eric's also got gasoline going, the flare is going, there's

2263
01:41:37.840 --> 01:41:39.760
a grenade in the trunk. And also and by the

2264
01:41:39.840 --> 01:41:42.000
time he goes off the dock, the cars already exploding

2265
01:41:42.039 --> 01:41:45.159
before it hit the water. Yeah, And naturally, after he

2266
01:41:45.319 --> 01:41:47.439
does his little explosion, he does a little thing with

2267
01:41:47.520 --> 01:41:50.159
some gas on his end and lights the infamous crow

2268
01:41:50.319 --> 01:41:51.720
in flames symbol.

2269
01:41:51.600 --> 01:41:53.399
Yeah, which is I mean, one of the most memorable

2270
01:41:53.439 --> 01:41:56.800
images of the entire film. Yes, is that big fiery crow.

2271
01:41:57.239 --> 01:42:00.680
So by this point, Allbrect has been brought to attention

2272
01:42:00.760 --> 01:42:02.720
by Taurus that they found Tebird's car. They got to

2273
01:42:02.720 --> 01:42:04.279
figure out who it is, but they don't know it's Tebird,

2274
01:42:04.279 --> 01:42:06.399
And he's like, oh, that's te Bird. You know, I

2275
01:42:06.399 --> 01:42:08.039
guess he should have zigged when he should have zagged.

2276
01:42:08.479 --> 01:42:10.600
Torres is pissed. He's like, you know, who's the cartoon

2277
01:42:10.720 --> 01:42:12.560
character with the painted face? And he's like, I don't know.

2278
01:42:12.600 --> 01:42:14.960
You're the detective. You tell me. That ends up getting

2279
01:42:14.960 --> 01:42:18.239
all Breck suspended. Yeah, so all Breck is now off

2280
01:42:18.279 --> 01:42:18.640
the case.

2281
01:42:19.039 --> 01:42:20.680
Well in theory.

2282
01:42:20.880 --> 01:42:23.880
In theory, yes, but also we see that the next morning,

2283
01:42:24.039 --> 01:42:27.680
Sarah wakes up and her and Darla actually reconcile because

2284
01:42:27.800 --> 01:42:29.359
she's trying to make breakfast and she's like, you know,

2285
01:42:29.399 --> 01:42:31.600
I don't like eggs, and she sees that Darla is

2286
01:42:31.720 --> 01:42:32.399
trying well.

2287
01:42:32.760 --> 01:42:35.119
She also said, I don't like eggs to be a dick, yes,

2288
01:42:35.199 --> 01:42:37.560
because it's not like her mom has ever been has

2289
01:42:37.640 --> 01:42:40.439
been very good to her. Yeah, so she's really just

2290
01:42:40.560 --> 01:42:42.479
kind of resistant to it because she's like, oh great, Well,

2291
01:42:42.479 --> 01:42:43.840
because her first thing is she's like, so what did

2292
01:42:43.880 --> 01:42:44.640
you What are you on now?

2293
01:42:44.720 --> 01:42:46.760
Yeah? What are you making you mother of the Year?

2294
01:42:46.880 --> 01:42:47.119
Yeah?

2295
01:42:47.199 --> 01:42:48.800
Yeah, And she's like, oh fuck it, like I wasn't

2296
01:42:48.800 --> 01:42:50.600
even good at this, mommy shit, and Sarah stops her.

2297
01:42:50.640 --> 01:42:53.119
She's like, over easy, I like my eggs over easy.

2298
01:42:53.039 --> 01:42:56.079
Which every little girl likes over easy eggs.

2299
01:42:56.399 --> 01:42:58.760
So also by this point, she sees that something has

2300
01:42:58.800 --> 01:43:01.960
happened to Darla, and she's curious because she's seen glimpses

2301
01:43:02.239 --> 01:43:04.000
of Eric around the city but hasn't been able to

2302
01:43:04.000 --> 01:43:06.319
confirm it. So she goes to the apartment and she's like,

2303
01:43:06.439 --> 01:43:08.640
you know, we find that Eric's also burning some pictures

2304
01:43:08.680 --> 01:43:10.800
and everything. He's also played the guitar by this point

2305
01:43:10.840 --> 01:43:15.199
as fashioned, so he's burning pictures in the apartment. Sarah

2306
01:43:15.279 --> 01:43:17.680
comes in and we see the apartment's desolate as it

2307
01:43:17.800 --> 01:43:19.520
was when he walked in and everything, and she's calling

2308
01:43:19.560 --> 01:43:21.319
to him like, you know, I care about you, and Shelly,

2309
01:43:21.399 --> 01:43:23.319
you know, why don't you talk to me? Screw you.

2310
01:43:23.439 --> 01:43:25.239
I thought you loved me. And then he appears in

2311
01:43:25.319 --> 01:43:27.039
the window and he's like, Sarah, I do care. They

2312
01:43:27.119 --> 01:43:29.640
run up and embrace, So now she's confirmed that he

2313
01:43:29.800 --> 01:43:32.039
is back for the time being, and she kind of

2314
01:43:32.159 --> 01:43:33.319
just known, Yeah she did.

2315
01:43:33.479 --> 01:43:33.680
Yeah.

2316
01:43:34.880 --> 01:43:38.159
So top Dollar at this point decides that he's also

2317
01:43:38.319 --> 01:43:42.159
going to hold a meeting because his people are dropping dead.

2318
01:43:42.399 --> 01:43:44.239
And also now it's Devil's Night. They got to figure

2319
01:43:44.279 --> 01:43:45.079
out what they're gonna do.

2320
01:43:45.439 --> 01:43:47.880
Yeah, you're having a staffing issue on Devil's Night.

2321
01:43:48.079 --> 01:43:50.680
Yeah, so they're having a staffing issue. And Eric's also

2322
01:43:50.800 --> 01:43:52.840
playing guitar on the roof and then ends up smashing

2323
01:43:52.920 --> 01:43:56.039
the guitar on the amp and breaking everything, and we

2324
01:43:56.159 --> 01:43:58.640
cut to the meeting where My Life with Thrill Kill

2325
01:43:58.720 --> 01:44:00.399
Cult is playing in the club below. By the way,

2326
01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:02.880
of course, what the hell else would we play? And

2327
01:44:02.960 --> 01:44:05.079
Top dollars meeting is just all his henchmen at the

2328
01:44:05.119 --> 01:44:07.439
table loading guns, all kinds of guns.

2329
01:44:07.560 --> 01:44:10.279
Yeah. Yeah, No, it's very cartoony. I mean what I

2330
01:44:10.319 --> 01:44:12.800
mean with the villains are cartoony. Yeah, so it's it's

2331
01:44:13.119 --> 01:44:15.880
it fits very well. Yeah in the rest of the film.

2332
01:44:16.000 --> 01:44:18.039
And by this point, they rounded up Skank because they

2333
01:44:18.119 --> 01:44:20.119
know that Draven is working his way back to the

2334
01:44:20.199 --> 01:44:22.600
speed Freak as they call him. Yeah, and so they

2335
01:44:22.680 --> 01:44:25.199
put Skank into the meeting and he top Dollar basically

2336
01:44:25.239 --> 01:44:27.079
says to his guys. You know, well, Devil's Nights upon

2337
01:44:27.199 --> 01:44:29.439
us and you know this year, you know, I don't

2338
01:44:29.439 --> 01:44:31.199
know what we're gonna do, Like, you know, I had

2339
01:44:31.239 --> 01:44:33.199
an idea. You know it's ran. You know what they

2340
01:44:33.239 --> 01:44:36.720
have now, Devil's Nights greeting cards. Isn't that precious? Now?

2341
01:44:36.760 --> 01:44:38.199
I guess it is like the best time to quit.

2342
01:44:38.319 --> 01:44:39.800
And he's like and the guys are like, well, let's

2343
01:44:39.800 --> 01:44:41.000
no reason to quit, and he's like, no, it's the

2344
01:44:41.039 --> 01:44:43.720
best time. But I want to have one more night.

2345
01:44:43.840 --> 01:44:46.000
I want to light as many fires as we can.

2346
01:44:46.720 --> 01:44:48.279
I want to look at you boys one more time

2347
01:44:48.359 --> 01:44:49.760
and say are we having fun?

2348
01:44:49.920 --> 01:44:50.119
Or what?

2349
01:44:50.720 --> 01:44:51.720
What a romantic?

2350
01:44:52.000 --> 01:44:54.239
And he goes, hey, skank you are What do you

2351
01:44:54.239 --> 01:44:55.640
feel like? I feel like a little worm on a

2352
01:44:55.680 --> 01:44:56.920
big fucking Oh the.

2353
01:44:56.920 --> 01:44:59.039
Way he says it to he just blurts it out. Yeah,

2354
01:44:59.079 --> 01:45:01.640
he's like being as on this he could possibly be, Ah.

2355
01:45:01.600 --> 01:45:03.640
Billie worm of a big fucking hook. Well, boy, your

2356
01:45:03.680 --> 01:45:05.159
mother must be damn proud.

2357
01:45:05.800 --> 01:45:07.119
No, it's it's a great line.

2358
01:45:07.520 --> 01:45:09.359
So the guys are all into it, and then all

2359
01:45:09.359 --> 01:45:11.479
of a sudden, the bird flies in and he's like,

2360
01:45:11.640 --> 01:45:13.920
how'd that thing get in here? And then Draven walks in.

2361
01:45:14.359 --> 01:45:16.720
He tells them that he just wants skank, and Top

2362
01:45:16.880 --> 01:45:18.840
dollars like, well, you can't have him, and Draven goes, well,

2363
01:45:18.840 --> 01:45:21.520
I see you've made your decision. Now let's you enforce it.

2364
01:45:21.680 --> 01:45:23.119
Stands on the table in front of the guys, and

2365
01:45:23.159 --> 01:45:25.119
Top Color goes, this is already boring the shit out

2366
01:45:25.159 --> 01:45:28.520
of me. Kill him, and everybody fires into dravens.

2367
01:45:28.199 --> 01:45:30.720
Yeah, and uh, it doesn't really matter.

2368
01:45:30.920 --> 01:45:32.880
This was rumored to be the to be the scene

2369
01:45:32.880 --> 01:45:34.359
that they left in the movie of his of his

2370
01:45:34.439 --> 01:45:38.439
Demise for the longest time, by the way, but that's

2371
01:45:38.479 --> 01:45:40.760
the kind of thing, the urban legend stuff that happened

2372
01:45:40.760 --> 01:45:43.239
all the time I found out what scene it was. Yeah,

2373
01:45:43.359 --> 01:45:46.359
wasn't in a flashback flashback. Yeah, it's a flashback because unfortunately,

2374
01:45:46.680 --> 01:45:48.359
and I may have kept in the tripe some of

2375
01:45:48.399 --> 01:45:50.000
that stuff I kept out of the trivia because it's

2376
01:45:50.359 --> 01:45:53.079
very sad in that sense. But Michael Massey, who plays

2377
01:45:53.159 --> 01:45:54.840
fun Boy, was the one who pulled the trigger and

2378
01:45:54.960 --> 01:45:58.199
he left acting for a long time. It haunted him

2379
01:45:58.199 --> 01:46:00.199
and we actually lost him a couple of years back.

2380
01:46:00.199 --> 01:46:02.960
I want to say, Yep, very tragic, but by this

2381
01:46:03.079 --> 01:46:05.560
point so they've shot Eric. He's fallen under the table

2382
01:46:06.039 --> 01:46:08.640
and top collar goes, well that's that. One guy goes

2383
01:46:08.680 --> 01:46:10.600
to look and he's like he's gone, and then gets

2384
01:46:10.600 --> 01:46:12.319
shot in the head. And then this is probably one

2385
01:46:12.359 --> 01:46:14.079
of the most violent sequences in the film.

2386
01:46:14.199 --> 01:46:17.039
Oh yeah, yeah, I spit everywhere. Well, I mean where else.

2387
01:46:17.159 --> 01:46:21.840
Hey, So he's just shooting people, slicing people. If you

2388
01:46:21.920 --> 01:46:23.760
want to see the violence that was cut out of

2389
01:46:23.800 --> 01:46:25.720
this movie on the Blu ray of the DVD, the

2390
01:46:25.760 --> 01:46:27.880
four K is the deleted scene, and like he's chopping

2391
01:46:27.960 --> 01:46:30.479
hands off, he's cutting people's throats with bottles, like, oh yeah,

2392
01:46:30.600 --> 01:46:34.279
it's insane. It's and just NonStop, NonStop. So naturally the

2393
01:46:34.359 --> 01:46:36.800
cops get called because a chair goes out a window

2394
01:46:36.840 --> 01:46:38.319
with a guy in it into the club, so the

2395
01:46:38.399 --> 01:46:40.880
club gets flee they're they're shooting all over the place.

2396
01:46:40.920 --> 01:46:42.560
He catches up to Skank and he's like, you know,

2397
01:46:42.680 --> 01:46:44.119
I guess it's not a good day to be a

2398
01:46:44.159 --> 01:46:46.239
bad guy, is it, Skank? And he's like, I'm not Skank.

2399
01:46:46.319 --> 01:46:49.000
That's Skank over there. Skank's dead and he's like, that's right,

2400
01:46:49.560 --> 01:46:51.439
throws Skank out of a window as he lands right

2401
01:46:51.520 --> 01:46:52.560
on the top of a cop car.

2402
01:46:52.760 --> 01:46:55.079
Well, I mean perfectly placed.

2403
01:46:54.880 --> 01:46:57.199
Perfectly placed. So the cops come in, they're like, you know,

2404
01:46:57.640 --> 01:46:59.800
that's all, it's all she wrote, move and we shoot

2405
01:47:00.000 --> 01:47:01.720
and he does a little dance towards the window and

2406
01:47:01.800 --> 01:47:04.479
they shoot. Now he's running on the rooftops, like all

2407
01:47:04.560 --> 01:47:07.359
the cops in the city. You're after him. Helicopter running

2408
01:47:07.399 --> 01:47:10.000
from the rooftops. Helicopter's going after him, and also all

2409
01:47:10.039 --> 01:47:12.520
brecks on the street and ends up like landing right

2410
01:47:12.560 --> 01:47:14.279
where he falls off the roof at Well.

2411
01:47:14.199 --> 01:47:17.680
He's following him, yeah, he's he's following the helicopter, Yeah,

2412
01:47:17.680 --> 01:47:19.960
because he figures that's how he can follow the action.

2413
01:47:20.119 --> 01:47:21.680
Well, he even has the line where he's like, so

2414
01:47:21.760 --> 01:47:24.039
many cops you think they're giving away free donuts. Yeah,

2415
01:47:25.880 --> 01:47:28.079
So they're driving through the street. At one point he

2416
01:47:28.279 --> 01:47:30.119
pulls over and Eric gets out and he looks over

2417
01:47:30.159 --> 01:47:34.279
He's like, no, you were gonna do that. So by

2418
01:47:34.319 --> 01:47:37.000
this point Eric is wandering the streets. The cops are

2419
01:47:37.199 --> 01:47:39.720
looking for him elsewhere. Top dollars also driving the streets,

2420
01:47:39.760 --> 01:47:41.199
and he's just like, look at the city. There should

2421
01:47:41.199 --> 01:47:43.920
be a thousand fires going on right now. And Grange

2422
01:47:44.359 --> 01:47:47.279
and Micah. Both are talking kind of about the crow

2423
01:47:47.399 --> 01:47:49.920
and like, that's the infamous Eric Draven the crows his power.

2424
01:47:50.319 --> 01:47:52.479
Take the crow, you can take his power away. So

2425
01:47:52.560 --> 01:47:54.760
he gets this idea of what they're gonna do. They

2426
01:47:54.840 --> 01:47:57.279
end up driving to a cemetery or driving to the

2427
01:47:57.359 --> 01:48:00.479
church near the cemetery and waiting because Sarah is waiting

2428
01:48:00.520 --> 01:48:02.439
at the grave. But before we get to that, there's

2429
01:48:02.479 --> 01:48:04.439
a really sweet scene I love where Eric is just

2430
01:48:04.479 --> 01:48:06.600
walking the street and he's like, you know, Shelley, I'm

2431
01:48:06.640 --> 01:48:08.359
coming home to you soon, because as he sees it,

2432
01:48:08.680 --> 01:48:11.439
his time's almost done. Yeah, he's got the one day

2433
01:48:11.479 --> 01:48:13.000
to basically do what he needs to do and then

2434
01:48:13.159 --> 01:48:16.319
he's gonna be back. And so he's wanting the street

2435
01:48:16.319 --> 01:48:18.000
and he's like, Shelley, I'll see you soon. And then

2436
01:48:18.119 --> 01:48:20.399
right has that happen, this flashlight falls on his face

2437
01:48:20.439 --> 01:48:22.680
and it's these kids in Halloween costumes running up to

2438
01:48:22.760 --> 01:48:25.399
him and they circle him and make him laugh, and

2439
01:48:25.439 --> 01:48:27.520
there's a really sweet freeze frame before they go away.

2440
01:48:27.800 --> 01:48:30.720
Yeah, it's a nice little moment.

2441
01:48:30.640 --> 01:48:30.840
It is.

2442
01:48:30.920 --> 01:48:33.039
It's a really good moment. He smiles. It's really sweet.

2443
01:48:33.399 --> 01:48:36.079
So he finds Sarah at the cemetery asleep at his grave,

2444
01:48:36.239 --> 01:48:38.000
and she's like, you know, you're gonna be mad at me,

2445
01:48:38.039 --> 01:48:39.600
and he's like, actually, it's the safest place to be

2446
01:48:39.680 --> 01:48:42.119
and she's like yeah, because everyone's dead. And he's like,

2447
01:48:42.159 --> 01:48:43.800
you know, it's really late, Sarah, and she's like, I

2448
01:48:43.840 --> 01:48:46.239
wanted to wait for you, and he's like I can't

2449
01:48:46.279 --> 01:48:48.039
always say bye, Like this is gonna be something you're

2450
01:48:48.079 --> 01:48:49.520
have to forgive me for. And then he ends up

2451
01:48:49.560 --> 01:48:52.880
giving her Shelley's engagement ring and he's like, you know, Shelley,

2452
01:48:53.199 --> 01:48:54.840
I gave this Shelley, she would want you to have it.

2453
01:48:55.359 --> 01:48:58.319
Sends her on her way, and then Grange grabs her,

2454
01:48:58.439 --> 01:49:00.399
pulls her into the church, and that it's when Top

2455
01:49:00.479 --> 01:49:03.039
Dollar takes the ring off of her, and now they

2456
01:49:03.159 --> 01:49:04.359
have their captive.

2457
01:49:04.439 --> 01:49:08.760
And now we're heading into the very finale. Yeah, an

2458
01:49:08.840 --> 01:49:13.000
incredible finale that I always remembered. Yeah, because of the

2459
01:49:13.439 --> 01:49:19.359
gothic rooftops and the pouring rain. It's it's iconic, without

2460
01:49:19.359 --> 01:49:19.720
a doubt.

2461
01:49:19.840 --> 01:49:21.720
Yeah, Sarah has been abducting the church. At this point,

2462
01:49:21.760 --> 01:49:23.920
she's calling to Eric because the crow can actually see

2463
01:49:23.960 --> 01:49:25.800
a vision. So Eric sees with the crow sees and

2464
01:49:25.880 --> 01:49:28.199
he sees Sarah calling for help, so he walks into

2465
01:49:28.239 --> 01:49:31.039
the church, the epic poster posed as he goes through

2466
01:49:31.079 --> 01:49:33.800
the giant doors into the thing, and that's when we

2467
01:49:33.840 --> 01:49:36.479
also see the crow fly in. Grange has a really

2468
01:49:37.439 --> 01:49:40.680
serious rifle. Crow sits down on a perchase, on a

2469
01:49:40.800 --> 01:49:43.680
on a a pew and Grain shoots it, and Eric's like,

2470
01:49:43.720 --> 01:49:45.239
what the hell's going on? And then we have one

2471
01:49:45.239 --> 01:49:47.199
of my favorite top Dollar lines as he comes out

2472
01:49:47.199 --> 01:49:50.920
and he goes quick impression for you caw cow bang, fuck,

2473
01:49:50.960 --> 01:49:51.479
I'm dead.

2474
01:49:51.960 --> 01:49:56.720
I as a kid, that was like the epitome of humor.

2475
01:49:56.960 --> 01:49:59.239
So Eric tells him give me the girl and I'll

2476
01:49:59.279 --> 01:50:00.880
let you live. He's like, let me think about that

2477
01:50:00.920 --> 01:50:03.399
for a second. Fuck it shoots him and by this

2478
01:50:03.520 --> 01:50:05.319
point Eric is just like, oh, well, no big deal.

2479
01:50:05.359 --> 01:50:07.760
But then he actually sees that he's bleeding now it's

2480
01:50:07.800 --> 01:50:10.680
not ceiling, and he goes, oh fuck. It falls over and.

2481
01:50:10.800 --> 01:50:14.640
He realizes that this invincibility is not permanent.

2482
01:50:14.880 --> 01:50:17.119
Not permanent. So by this point the crow is limping

2483
01:50:17.239 --> 01:50:18.840
and Grange is like, the crow is still alive, and

2484
01:50:18.960 --> 01:50:20.279
he's like, you know, well then kill it is what

2485
01:50:20.359 --> 01:50:22.399
top Dollar says. Grain is getting ready to fire on it.

2486
01:50:22.479 --> 01:50:24.239
Then all Brett comes in with his shotgun and his

2487
01:50:24.399 --> 01:50:28.000
pistol kills Grange. They get into a firefight as Micah

2488
01:50:28.520 --> 01:50:30.960
takes Sarah up to the to the tower and also

2489
01:50:31.039 --> 01:50:35.119
Top Dollar flees as well. So that's when Albrett goes

2490
01:50:35.159 --> 01:50:36.600
over to him and he's like, you know, got a

2491
01:50:36.640 --> 01:50:39.199
great idea. You stand in front of me, let them shoot.

2492
01:50:39.199 --> 01:50:40.880
When they run out of bullet's all rest them. And

2493
01:50:41.199 --> 01:50:43.359
Draven's like it's a great idea except for one thing.

2494
01:50:43.479 --> 01:50:45.119
And he's like, I thought you were invincible. He's like

2495
01:50:45.239 --> 01:50:46.560
I was. I'm not anymore.

2496
01:50:46.720 --> 01:50:49.079
Yeah, And it's and it's a great moment of levity

2497
01:50:49.119 --> 01:50:52.359
in this like very tense yeah showdown is where he says, yeah,

2498
01:50:52.359 --> 01:50:52.600
it was.

2499
01:50:53.720 --> 01:50:55.000
So he's like, I guess you're gonna be my help

2500
01:50:55.000 --> 01:50:58.199
after all. They end up going up the steps and

2501
01:50:58.680 --> 01:51:01.239
Micah shoots on to all Breck. He gets shot and

2502
01:51:01.279 --> 01:51:02.800
he's like, I thought you were gonna stay behind me,

2503
01:51:02.800 --> 01:51:05.279
and he's like, I messed up. So now Albrek's out

2504
01:51:05.319 --> 01:51:07.680
of the picture. He goes up and faces up against

2505
01:51:07.760 --> 01:51:10.319
Micah and she's like holding the crow and she's like

2506
01:51:10.439 --> 01:51:13.119
this is all the power you ever had pity. Then

2507
01:51:13.159 --> 01:51:15.920
the crow comes to life and pecks her fucking eyes.

2508
01:51:15.720 --> 01:51:19.399
Out, which is considering her obsession with eyes, Yeah, is

2509
01:51:19.479 --> 01:51:21.640
a delightful little turn of events.

2510
01:51:21.800 --> 01:51:24.560
Yeah, So gets her eyes pecked out, falls down the tower,

2511
01:51:24.760 --> 01:51:27.479
and by this point Top Dollar has Sarah out in

2512
01:51:27.520 --> 01:51:28.960
the rain on top of the tower, on top of

2513
01:51:29.000 --> 01:51:32.039
the cathedral, and he's like, you know, uh, this isn't

2514
01:51:32.079 --> 01:51:33.840
about her, this is about me and you you know,

2515
01:51:33.920 --> 01:51:36.920
and he's like, all right, if you Eric actually surrenders himself.

2516
01:51:36.960 --> 01:51:38.520
He says, you know, I'll get you can have me

2517
01:51:38.960 --> 01:51:41.239
let her go, and he's like, I will throw Sarah

2518
01:51:41.279 --> 01:51:42.760
to the side off and she's hanging on to the

2519
01:51:42.880 --> 01:51:45.000
cathedral at this point, and that's when they get into

2520
01:51:45.079 --> 01:51:48.520
a giant sword fight, except top Dollar has a sword

2521
01:51:48.720 --> 01:51:51.399
and Eric has a lightning rod.

2522
01:51:51.760 --> 01:51:55.039
Yeah it's a lightning catcher, but it's a it's just

2523
01:51:55.159 --> 01:51:58.079
a oh gosh, like a weather vein weather vein.

2524
01:51:58.199 --> 01:52:00.319
Yeah, yeah, giant weather vein. So they're fighting in a

2525
01:52:00.600 --> 01:52:03.520
storm on top of this church and it's epic. There's lightning,

2526
01:52:03.600 --> 01:52:07.560
there's rain, and naturally, uh, he gets the upper hand,

2527
01:52:07.600 --> 01:52:09.920
but then Top Dollar betrays him and stabs him with

2528
01:52:09.920 --> 01:52:13.000
a little blade, and that's when he's sitting down there.

2529
01:52:13.079 --> 01:52:14.399
He's like, you know, well, you know, I'm sorry for

2530
01:52:14.479 --> 01:52:16.359
spoiling your wedding plans. Friend. You know, nothing in this

2531
01:52:16.439 --> 01:52:18.600
town happens up. I say, so, I cleared that building,

2532
01:52:19.399 --> 01:52:21.039
you know, I will say, though you put a smile

2533
01:52:21.119 --> 01:52:22.760
on my face. I am gonna miss you. And he's

2534
01:52:22.760 --> 01:52:25.359
getting ready to gut Eric, and Eric looks at him

2535
01:52:25.359 --> 01:52:27.399
and says, I have something for you. I don't want

2536
01:52:27.439 --> 01:52:30.520
it anymore, grabs on a top Dollar's head and says,

2537
01:52:30.720 --> 01:52:33.720
thirty hours of pain, all at once, all for you.

2538
01:52:33.880 --> 01:52:37.439
He's basically passing everything that Shelley went through onto him,

2539
01:52:38.319 --> 01:52:41.000
and we see top Dollar taking this pain and everything.

2540
01:52:41.079 --> 01:52:46.000
He's completely disoriented, falls off of the church below, onto

2541
01:52:46.079 --> 01:52:48.239
a spike, on top of a cathedral, or on top

2542
01:52:48.279 --> 01:52:51.199
of a fucking gargoyle, and.

2543
01:52:51.640 --> 01:52:55.720
The blood starts, starts pouring out of the gargoyles. Gut

2544
01:52:55.760 --> 01:52:59.800
her mouth, yes, and what an image, yes, but all

2545
01:53:00.119 --> 01:53:02.439
so like one of those those moments in a movie

2546
01:53:02.479 --> 01:53:04.079
where you're like, well that guy's dead as.

2547
01:53:05.600 --> 01:53:05.680
Ye.

2548
01:53:06.319 --> 01:53:09.039
So so top Dollar is now out of the picture,

2549
01:53:09.119 --> 01:53:10.760
Mike is out of the picture, Grains out of the picture,

2550
01:53:10.880 --> 01:53:15.399
everybody that basically wrong. Draven has been corrected at this point,

2551
01:53:15.399 --> 01:53:19.560
I guess correct. Okay, I like that. So he rejoined Sarah.

2552
01:53:19.720 --> 01:53:22.239
They gets her off of the ledge. They walk back

2553
01:53:22.279 --> 01:53:23.960
down to all Breck and he's like, you know, stay

2554
01:53:24.000 --> 01:53:26.239
with stay with him until the cops arrive. And all

2555
01:53:26.279 --> 01:53:28.479
Brick's like, give me a cigarette, takes it, lights it,

2556
01:53:28.520 --> 01:53:32.640
and he goes, yuck, I'm quitting now if I live and.

2557
01:53:32.960 --> 01:53:35.359
D to the record, he quit if he doesn't either, yeah, true, true,

2558
01:53:35.640 --> 01:53:36.199
he's gonna win.

2559
01:53:36.439 --> 01:53:38.920
Draven thanks him. He's like, you know, thank you, what

2560
01:53:39.079 --> 01:53:41.520
you kept in here saved me. And he's like, you know,

2561
01:53:41.560 --> 01:53:43.319
I couldn't have done it without you. And by this

2562
01:53:43.439 --> 01:53:45.960
point they're talking at him and Sarah and then look

2563
01:53:46.000 --> 01:53:48.720
back and Eric's gone, and he's like he does that sometimes.

2564
01:53:49.079 --> 01:53:53.159
Well, and that's a really beautiful moment because what he gave,

2565
01:53:53.560 --> 01:53:58.720
what he did was care about her life. Yeah, And

2566
01:54:00.119 --> 01:54:03.479
that's what ends up saving Draven was being able to

2567
01:54:03.960 --> 01:54:07.000
project that into somebody, project all that pain and suffering, yeah,

2568
01:54:07.000 --> 01:54:08.479
which was caused by top dollar.

2569
01:54:08.640 --> 01:54:10.760
Yeah. And I mean, by this point, Eric is a mess.

2570
01:54:10.800 --> 01:54:12.800
He's been stabbed, he's been shot, and he's feeling all

2571
01:54:12.800 --> 01:54:15.319
of it now. As he's basically limping back to Shelley's grave,

2572
01:54:15.640 --> 01:54:17.760
he gets to her gravestone, He's like, I'm coming, Shelley,

2573
01:54:17.880 --> 01:54:20.960
and then right behind him, Shelley walks into the cemetery.

2574
01:54:21.039 --> 01:54:24.199
The spirit of Shelley touches his head. They share a kiss,

2575
01:54:24.439 --> 01:54:26.560
and then we see that the holes have filled themselves

2576
01:54:26.600 --> 01:54:29.560
as they're back together, and we see also the next day,

2577
01:54:29.640 --> 01:54:31.960
the crow is sitting on the tombstone with Shelley's wedding

2578
01:54:32.039 --> 01:54:34.239
ring in its mouth, and Sarah comes up takes it

2579
01:54:34.840 --> 01:54:38.640
and we hear basically Sarah say, if when some oh

2580
01:54:38.720 --> 01:54:43.039
my god it let me get this line right, was forever?

2581
01:54:43.159 --> 01:54:43.520
What is it?

2582
01:54:44.399 --> 01:54:45.920
The people we love are stolen from us. The way

2583
01:54:45.960 --> 01:54:47.479
to have them live, the way that had them live

2584
01:54:47.560 --> 01:54:50.800
on is to never stop loving, never stop loving them.

2585
01:54:50.840 --> 01:54:54.479
Buildings burn, people die. Real love is forever, and that

2586
01:54:55.079 --> 01:54:57.560
is nineteen ninety Four's the crow?

2587
01:54:58.159 --> 01:55:01.560
But which I mean? Okay, Alley doesn't really hold a

2588
01:55:01.640 --> 01:55:02.800
candle to twenty twenty four?

2589
01:55:02.920 --> 01:55:05.520
Oh you're right, yeah, yeah, but what happened in twenty

2590
01:55:05.560 --> 01:55:07.359
twenty four? Go ahead? Can you recall?

2591
01:55:07.560 --> 01:55:07.600
No?

2592
01:55:07.840 --> 01:55:08.800
Oh? I can I know?

2593
01:55:09.039 --> 01:55:12.279
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's your own fault, Like you're looking

2594
01:55:12.279 --> 01:55:14.239
at me like I like it was me really gonna

2595
01:55:14.239 --> 01:55:15.840
be like, well, I know because I had to watch

2596
01:55:15.840 --> 01:55:17.520
it a Bunchet's like, dude, I only went the one time.

2597
01:55:17.560 --> 01:55:20.000
Yeah, fair enough. So do you want to know guess

2598
01:55:20.039 --> 01:55:21.239
what the budget was on the film?

2599
01:55:21.359 --> 01:55:21.520
Uh?

2600
01:55:22.199 --> 01:55:26.720
Wasn't it like forty It was lower twenty twenty three?

2601
01:55:27.000 --> 01:55:30.520
Okay, estimated twenty three million dollars opening weekend. It takes

2602
01:55:30.560 --> 01:55:33.720
in eleven million, which is May fifteenth, nineteen ninety four. Worldwide,

2603
01:55:33.720 --> 01:55:37.399
it ends up grossing fifty million dollars. It was a huge, huge,

2604
01:55:37.600 --> 01:55:40.600
huge hit on this video. No, yeah, that's what brought

2605
01:55:40.640 --> 01:55:41.079
the numbers.

2606
01:55:41.479 --> 01:55:43.319
Well, but even back then, I mean back then that

2607
01:55:43.359 --> 01:55:46.600
would be a hit anyway, Yeah, fifty against twenty. That

2608
01:55:46.760 --> 01:55:49.880
was back before things got so out of hand spending wise.

2609
01:55:49.960 --> 01:55:53.279
Yeah. Movie releases so filmed in Los Angeles, California, as

2610
01:55:53.319 --> 01:55:56.960
well as Wilmington, North Carolina. Filming begins on February first

2611
01:55:57.039 --> 01:56:00.439
of ninety three. First round of filming raps marts thirty first,

2612
01:56:00.479 --> 01:56:02.399
ninety three with the death of Eric or with the

2613
01:56:02.439 --> 01:56:05.720
death of Brittan Lee. Unfortunately, filming then resumes for reshoots

2614
01:56:05.800 --> 01:56:08.239
May twenty six of ninety three and wraps June third

2615
01:56:08.279 --> 01:56:11.359
of ninety three. Body count in the film is thirty

2616
01:56:11.399 --> 01:56:15.960
one Pretty handy. James Obarr originally began writing The Crow

2617
01:56:16.000 --> 01:56:17.920
as a means to cope with the unexpected death of

2618
01:56:17.960 --> 01:56:20.479
his fiance, who was killed by a drunk driver. Obarr

2619
01:56:20.560 --> 01:56:22.640
had a meeting with a major studio to adapt the

2620
01:56:22.720 --> 01:56:25.439
comic to a film, but Obar left the meeting after

2621
01:56:25.680 --> 01:56:27.600
that had heard the pitch of their idea as a

2622
01:56:27.720 --> 01:56:32.800
musical with Michael Jackson as the lead. Obar eventually oversaw

2623
01:56:33.159 --> 01:56:35.920
three different script treatments before he ended up working with

2624
01:56:36.000 --> 01:56:38.960
the writer and producers Jeff Most and John Shirley. Shirley

2625
01:56:38.960 --> 01:56:41.159
would end up penning the third and fourth drafts himself,

2626
01:56:41.239 --> 01:56:44.279
earning himself the screenplay credit from the WGA. David J.

2627
01:56:44.439 --> 01:56:45.199
Scow was brought in.

2628
01:56:45.279 --> 01:56:47.319
For rewrites that sounds right yeaheah.

2629
01:56:48.039 --> 01:56:50.560
Producer Edward Pressman was encouraged by Jeff Most to look

2630
01:56:50.560 --> 01:56:53.000
into music, video and commercial directors to give the film

2631
01:56:53.079 --> 01:56:55.239
a specific look and feel. Eventually he would land on

2632
01:56:55.279 --> 01:56:58.039
Alex Proyes, while Paramount Pictures picked up distribution rights for

2633
01:56:58.159 --> 01:56:58.520
the film.

2634
01:56:59.359 --> 01:57:01.159
Yeah, there was a lot going on with them. In

2635
01:57:01.199 --> 01:57:01.720
the movie made.

2636
01:57:02.039 --> 01:57:04.840
Paramount Pictures initially developed and finance this film, but after

2637
01:57:04.920 --> 01:57:07.319
Brandon Lee's tragic death, which caused production to shut down

2638
01:57:07.359 --> 01:57:10.600
with an incomplete film, they wrote the project off. Entertainment

2639
01:57:10.680 --> 01:57:13.520
Media Investment Corporation was created for the purpose of buying

2640
01:57:13.560 --> 01:57:16.479
the film and completing it, using the groundbreaking CGI special

2641
01:57:16.479 --> 01:57:19.119
effects and body doubles for lease scenes. The film would

2642
01:57:19.159 --> 01:57:21.600
return to Paramount's hands in twenty twenty after the studio

2643
01:57:21.680 --> 01:57:24.279
bought a minority stake in Miramax, which picked up distribution

2644
01:57:24.439 --> 01:57:25.600
rights after Paramount left.

2645
01:57:25.920 --> 01:57:28.600
Oh Yeah, River.

2646
01:57:28.520 --> 01:57:32.439
Phoenix, Christian Slater, and Johnny deppt turned down the role

2647
01:57:32.800 --> 01:57:33.720
of Eric Draven.

2648
01:57:34.760 --> 01:57:38.239
Wow Yeah, How the hell did they land on Brandon Lee?

2649
01:57:38.279 --> 01:57:41.720
Then Oh Barr wanted Depp. The studios wanted River Phoenix

2650
01:57:41.760 --> 01:57:42.720
and Christian Slater.

2651
01:57:43.199 --> 01:57:46.720
Were They wanted them both to play Draven. Two Dravens, Yeah,

2652
01:57:46.960 --> 01:57:48.079
The Tale of Two Dravens.

2653
01:57:48.359 --> 01:57:50.760
Alex Proyes originally wanted to shoot the entire film in

2654
01:57:50.800 --> 01:57:53.079
black and white, closer to the comics and using only

2655
01:57:53.159 --> 01:57:56.279
color in Draven's flashback scenes with high contrast theme, but

2656
01:57:56.399 --> 01:57:59.239
the studio executives didn't allow him to experiment with the approach.

2657
01:57:59.439 --> 01:58:02.359
This made shoot much of the movie in monochromatic color

2658
01:58:02.439 --> 01:58:04.159
theme mixed with red and dark gray.

2659
01:58:04.840 --> 01:58:07.640
Yeah. I I yeah, shooting things in black and white.

2660
01:58:08.439 --> 01:58:09.079
Uh, it's tough.

2661
01:58:09.199 --> 01:58:12.920
Well, the studios are terrified of it because it because

2662
01:58:12.920 --> 01:58:15.319
of the well, yeah, people will think it's old. They

2663
01:58:15.399 --> 01:58:17.079
just won't go to it. Remember do you remember when

2664
01:58:17.439 --> 01:58:19.680
when they did Young Frankenstein in black and white? They

2665
01:58:19.760 --> 01:58:22.000
literally put in the trailers it's in black and white,

2666
01:58:22.000 --> 01:58:23.000
which is really not a big deal.

2667
01:58:23.119 --> 01:58:26.960
Yeah, like yeah, Freya said that Brandon Lee was unhappy

2668
01:58:27.000 --> 01:58:28.640
with the way his face paint looked when the makeup

2669
01:58:28.680 --> 01:58:31.319
department applied it to him before shooting. Lee and Froys

2670
01:58:31.439 --> 01:58:33.560
then agreed that it would be best if Lee applied

2671
01:58:33.600 --> 01:58:36.039
his own makeup every night before going to bed, so

2672
01:58:36.159 --> 01:58:38.039
that when he woke up, his face paint would naturally

2673
01:58:38.159 --> 01:58:39.039
look more worn out.

2674
01:58:40.439 --> 01:58:45.279
So I feel bad for the hotel maids. Okidding, right, Yeah,

2675
01:58:45.640 --> 01:58:48.600
they were like, wow, this horror wore some really strange makeup.

2676
01:58:48.800 --> 01:58:51.840
Brace yourself, we're here. There was a lot of cost

2677
01:58:51.920 --> 01:58:54.119
and corner cutting on set. One of the crew recalled

2678
01:58:54.119 --> 01:58:56.039
they were trying to make a thirty million movie for

2679
01:58:56.119 --> 01:58:59.000
eighteen million. The film was filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina.

2680
01:58:59.039 --> 01:59:01.800
Because North Carolina was a right to work state. This

2681
01:59:01.920 --> 01:59:04.960
allowed the producers to get away with pay conditions and crucially,

2682
01:59:05.079 --> 01:59:08.560
production schedules that would have been new by unionized Hollywood.

2683
01:59:08.920 --> 01:59:12.239
They began filming at night outdoors, but the aforementioned hurricane

2684
01:59:12.319 --> 01:59:15.279
destroyed the sets, so they moved the production indoors without

2685
01:59:15.319 --> 01:59:17.720
changing the schedule. As switching production from nights to day

2686
01:59:17.720 --> 01:59:20.520
as requires a twenty four hour turnaround time, the Harry

2687
01:59:20.600 --> 01:59:23.000
production didn't have it, and it was still so cold

2688
01:59:23.079 --> 01:59:25.439
that camera rails had to be de iced during filming

2689
01:59:25.520 --> 01:59:28.680
by riggers with blow torches hiding out of the shot.

2690
01:59:28.960 --> 01:59:32.399
Jeez well, and for the record, doing it non union,

2691
01:59:32.920 --> 01:59:36.399
I mean the unions would have worked those long hours, yes,

2692
01:59:36.479 --> 01:59:38.600
just they would have been murdered by the overtime. Yeah,

2693
01:59:38.840 --> 01:59:39.880
by the cost of the overtime.

2694
01:59:40.000 --> 01:59:40.199
Yeah.

2695
01:59:40.680 --> 01:59:43.439
There were several accidents that befell production crew. The carpenter

2696
01:59:43.479 --> 01:59:45.800
suffered serious burns on his upper body during the first

2697
01:59:45.880 --> 01:59:48.640
day of filming. A manual worker had a screwdriver get

2698
01:59:48.680 --> 01:59:51.640
embedded into his hand, an equipment truck burst into flames,

2699
01:59:51.920 --> 01:59:54.520
a stunt man broke several ribs after falling through a roof,

2700
01:59:54.640 --> 01:59:57.680
a rigger was horribly electrocuted. A disgruntled set sculptor went

2701
01:59:57.720 --> 02:00:00.239
berserk and drove his car through the prop rooms, destroyed it,

2702
02:00:00.600 --> 02:00:02.560
and a hurricane destroyed several of the sets.

2703
02:00:03.279 --> 02:00:05.920
The only one in there that is not that unusual

2704
02:00:05.960 --> 02:00:08.720
as the broken ribs. Yeah, because stunt guys break ribs

2705
02:00:08.720 --> 02:00:11.760
a lot. Yeah, my god, dude, that's ridiculous.

2706
02:00:11.960 --> 02:00:15.479
According to Empire magazine, cocaine abuse was rampant on set,

2707
02:00:15.560 --> 02:00:18.640
with cameraman shooting whilst high crew going into toilets, a

2708
02:00:18.640 --> 02:00:22.000
snort between shots, and people cutting around. One crew member

2709
02:00:22.039 --> 02:00:24.079
recalls hearing the sound of a sneeze on set one

2710
02:00:24.159 --> 02:00:26.680
day and an annoyed Brandon Lee equipping someone just lost

2711
02:00:26.720 --> 02:00:27.359
fifty dollars.

2712
02:00:28.279 --> 02:00:32.399
That's funny. That's really really funny.

2713
02:00:32.560 --> 02:00:35.039
The production didn't have money or the space to shoot

2714
02:00:35.039 --> 02:00:37.239
a car chase sequence, so they did it with miniatures instead.

2715
02:00:37.840 --> 02:00:38.640
I think it worked fine.

2716
02:00:38.680 --> 02:00:39.319
Yeah, I think so too.

2717
02:00:39.680 --> 02:00:39.760
Uh.

2718
02:00:39.840 --> 02:00:42.039
Darius Wolsky achieved the look of the film by filming

2719
02:00:42.079 --> 02:00:44.680
with Sepia filter and then in printing adding lots of

2720
02:00:44.680 --> 02:00:46.920
blue to eliminate the brown. This meant that the production

2721
02:00:47.000 --> 02:00:50.279
designer Alex McDowell. Art directors John Marshall and Simon Merton

2722
02:00:50.399 --> 02:00:52.640
had to leave out any instance of color blue because

2723
02:00:52.640 --> 02:00:55.079
it would get overly saturated. They had to be so

2724
02:00:55.199 --> 02:00:57.640
strict that certain smoke machines had to be removed because

2725
02:00:57.680 --> 02:00:59.960
the smoke producer had elements of blue in it. Blue

2726
02:01:00.239 --> 02:01:01.880
was only used in flashbacks.

2727
02:01:02.319 --> 02:01:05.239
Wow, that would be a lot to manage.

2728
02:01:05.600 --> 02:01:08.119
According to James Obarr, he didn't like casting Brandon Lee

2729
02:01:08.159 --> 02:01:10.159
as the main lead for his comic book adaptation. At

2730
02:01:10.199 --> 02:01:11.960
the time. He had only seen him in Showdown in

2731
02:01:12.000 --> 02:01:13.720
Little Tokyo and feared it would end up like a

2732
02:01:13.800 --> 02:01:16.279
kung Fu movie and go straight to video. But he

2733
02:01:16.399 --> 02:01:18.319
was thrilled when he first met Brandon on the set

2734
02:01:18.399 --> 02:01:20.520
with the makeup and the crow outfit. He was amazed

2735
02:01:20.520 --> 02:01:22.279
by Brandon's take on the character when he spoke the

2736
02:01:22.359 --> 02:01:23.600
exact line from the comics.

2737
02:01:24.399 --> 02:01:26.680
I mean he owned it. There's no doubt.

2738
02:01:26.840 --> 02:01:29.479
Brandon Lee lost forty pounds for the role. Alex Proys

2739
02:01:29.520 --> 02:01:31.399
recalled that he and Brandon Lee had a long talk

2740
02:01:31.439 --> 02:01:34.000
before filming began about how the main character, Eric Draven

2741
02:01:34.039 --> 02:01:36.399
should be presented as a well oiled machine that came

2742
02:01:36.479 --> 02:01:38.680
back from the dead already built for the sole purpose

2743
02:01:38.760 --> 02:01:41.960
of killing. Alex specifically said that Eric should be someone

2744
02:01:42.039 --> 02:01:44.800
who was made of nothing but muscle and bone. Brandon

2745
02:01:44.840 --> 02:01:47.159
agreed as well, so he devoted himself to an intense

2746
02:01:47.239 --> 02:01:50.479
regiment of diet, a regimen of diet and exercise to

2747
02:01:50.520 --> 02:01:53.039
achieve a specific athletic look before filming began.

2748
02:01:53.520 --> 02:01:55.119
I mean, and luckily, I mean, it's not like he

2749
02:01:55.319 --> 02:01:57.800
was a slouch anyway. He was always athletic.

2750
02:01:57.880 --> 02:01:59.880
He was always athletic. While most of the scenes of

2751
02:02:00.000 --> 02:02:02.319
Bran and Lee's death were digitally composed, there was in

2752
02:02:02.399 --> 02:02:04.399
fact a mask that had been made directly from a

2753
02:02:04.439 --> 02:02:06.279
mold of Lee's face. It had been intended for the

2754
02:02:06.359 --> 02:02:08.920
use of stunt doubles if needed. They attempted to create

2755
02:02:08.960 --> 02:02:11.319
the scenes using this mask. However, the cast and crew

2756
02:02:11.399 --> 02:02:13.279
were far too unsettled by the prop that it was

2757
02:02:13.319 --> 02:02:16.600
destroyed and digital means were used to fill in the gaps. Yeah.

2758
02:02:16.920 --> 02:02:20.600
If you watch shutters Cursed films, they show pictures of

2759
02:02:21.039 --> 02:02:23.640
the stunt guy in the moss. See it's very creepy.

2760
02:02:23.760 --> 02:02:23.960
Yeah.

2761
02:02:24.640 --> 02:02:26.760
The phrase it can't rain all the time is inspired

2762
02:02:26.800 --> 02:02:29.000
by an encounter that James O'Barr had as a team

2763
02:02:29.359 --> 02:02:32.159
while living in Shepard, Michigan, prior to enlisting in the Marines.

2764
02:02:32.319 --> 02:02:34.479
Down on his lucko Bar found himself unable to pay

2765
02:02:34.520 --> 02:02:37.680
for groceries. Frustrated, he decided to just buy rice, to

2766
02:02:37.720 --> 02:02:39.520
which the man in line of him stated, you can't

2767
02:02:39.520 --> 02:02:42.640
eat rice all the time while paying o'bar's groceries. The

2768
02:02:42.720 --> 02:02:44.640
man turned out to be Lee Coughlin, the mayor of

2769
02:02:44.680 --> 02:02:47.359
Shepherd himself, and is also the basis of the character Albricht.

2770
02:02:47.680 --> 02:02:51.439
Oh wow Yeah. One of Brandon Lee's favorite movies was

2771
02:02:51.479 --> 02:02:53.880
The Warriors from nineteen seventy nine, which created a breakout

2772
02:02:53.920 --> 02:02:56.359
role for classically trained actor David Patrick Kelly, who plays

2773
02:02:56.399 --> 02:02:59.039
Tebard in the film. So naturally, Lee was overjoyed to

2774
02:02:59.079 --> 02:03:01.399
have a great character act known for his villainis roles,

2775
02:03:01.439 --> 02:03:02.479
starring in his own movie.

2776
02:03:02.960 --> 02:03:03.520
I could see that.

2777
02:03:03.760 --> 02:03:05.600
That's really cool. The latter part of the scene in

2778
02:03:05.640 --> 02:03:08.159
Aubreck's apartment was ad lived by Brandon Lee and Ernie Hudson.

2779
02:03:08.239 --> 02:03:10.560
The line about Shelley believe me nothing as trivial was

2780
02:03:10.640 --> 02:03:11.359
not in the script.

2781
02:03:11.960 --> 02:03:14.560
Wow really mm hmm. That's a hell of a thing.

2782
02:03:14.840 --> 02:03:16.800
Even though the movie based on the comic is called

2783
02:03:16.840 --> 02:03:18.880
the crow. None of the birds using the film were

2784
02:03:18.920 --> 02:03:21.560
actually crows. All of them were, in fact ravens, which

2785
02:03:21.560 --> 02:03:24.560
are much larger than crows and have longer, more impressive beaks.

2786
02:03:24.760 --> 02:03:27.039
Oh yeah, and there from what I heard, they're easier

2787
02:03:27.079 --> 02:03:30.039
to train. Yeah, so that's a big, big element.

2788
02:03:30.359 --> 02:03:32.119
Eric shirt is cut down the back when he first

2789
02:03:32.159 --> 02:03:34.239
emerges from the grave. This is a common practice in

2790
02:03:34.279 --> 02:03:36.880
funeral homes as it makes it the dead easier to dress.

2791
02:03:37.279 --> 02:03:40.239
Yes, yes, I didn't even notice that detail. Yeah.

2792
02:03:40.600 --> 02:03:43.079
James Obarr constantly listened to the songs of Joy Division

2793
02:03:43.119 --> 02:03:45.319
and The Cure while shaping and creating the graphic novel

2794
02:03:45.359 --> 02:03:47.239
of the film is based on. He was delighted when

2795
02:03:47.319 --> 02:03:49.359
Robert Smith of The Cure agreed to write an original

2796
02:03:49.439 --> 02:03:52.640
song for the movie. Although a hugely popular song, introducing

2797
02:03:52.760 --> 02:03:55.199
legions of new fans to The Cure, they only performed

2798
02:03:55.239 --> 02:03:58.840
Burn live once nineteen years after the film's release, even

2799
02:03:58.840 --> 02:04:01.279
though it was often requested. When a fan asked if

2800
02:04:01.279 --> 02:04:03.880
they'd play the song on a concert, bassist Simon Gallip replied,

2801
02:04:04.000 --> 02:04:05.960
did we do that one for a soundtrack? I don't

2802
02:04:06.000 --> 02:04:08.319
remember it. The Cure has since played the song on

2803
02:04:08.359 --> 02:04:12.279
their twenty sixteen North American Tour. Wow Yeah. Although the

2804
02:04:12.319 --> 02:04:14.000
tone of the film is very similar to the comic,

2805
02:04:14.039 --> 02:04:16.359
there were many changes in the comics. Top Dollar is

2806
02:04:16.399 --> 02:04:18.279
a member of t Bird's gang as opposed to heading

2807
02:04:18.359 --> 02:04:20.680
up the crime in the city. Micah and Grains were

2808
02:04:20.680 --> 02:04:22.760
also not present in the comic, and there was never

2809
02:04:22.840 --> 02:04:25.600
any mention about the Crow being a power source. Also

2810
02:04:25.720 --> 02:04:27.840
in the comics, Skank was not involved in the murders

2811
02:04:27.880 --> 02:04:30.199
of Eric and Shelley. Instead, a character named Tom Tom

2812
02:04:30.439 --> 02:04:33.479
was Sarah also served as a minor role, first meeting

2813
02:04:33.600 --> 02:04:35.720
Eric after his death, and Albrecht as he appears in

2814
02:04:35.760 --> 02:04:38.239
the movie is a combination of street officer named Allbreck

2815
02:04:38.279 --> 02:04:41.560
in the comics and police captain Hook. Another major change

2816
02:04:41.600 --> 02:04:43.399
is Eric is a mechanic in the comic and his

2817
02:04:43.520 --> 02:04:45.920
last name was never mentioned. He was changed to him

2818
02:04:45.920 --> 02:04:48.600
as a musician as an homage to all the music

2819
02:04:48.680 --> 02:04:51.479
references that James Obarr had in the comic. In the comic,

2820
02:04:51.560 --> 02:04:53.560
the murders are actually a twist of bad luck with

2821
02:04:53.600 --> 02:04:56.159
te Bird's gang while high on drugs and bushing Eric

2822
02:04:56.199 --> 02:04:58.800
and Shelley when their car breaks down, and in the comic,

2823
02:04:59.000 --> 02:05:01.199
Eric is actually the one who lasts for thirty hours

2824
02:05:01.239 --> 02:05:04.119
of intensive care, with most defense implied as possibly being

2825
02:05:04.159 --> 02:05:05.960
a revenge fantasy as he lies in a coma.

2826
02:05:06.560 --> 02:05:08.319
Okay, I mean that all checks out.

2827
02:05:08.439 --> 02:05:11.560
Yeah. The following scenes were completed after Brandon Lee's death,

2828
02:05:11.600 --> 02:05:14.079
as follows. During the scene where Eric Draven first enters

2829
02:05:14.119 --> 02:05:16.760
the apartment after digging himself out of the grave, footage

2830
02:05:16.760 --> 02:05:18.439
of Lee walking through an alley in the rain was

2831
02:05:18.479 --> 02:05:21.000
digitally composed. In the scenes where he walks through the doorway,

2832
02:05:21.359 --> 02:05:24.039
computer technology added drops of water to the doorframe to

2833
02:05:24.079 --> 02:05:26.159
make the water on his back not seem out of place.

2834
02:05:26.600 --> 02:05:28.680
The face in the smash mirror was Lee's. It was

2835
02:05:28.720 --> 02:05:31.520
digitally altered to fit the shards. The shot of Eric

2836
02:05:31.560 --> 02:05:34.600
falling from the window was made by composing Lee's face,

2837
02:05:34.640 --> 02:05:37.720
complete with simulated blood, onto a body double. The scene

2838
02:05:37.720 --> 02:05:40.319
where Eric puts on his makeup was filmed using the double.

2839
02:05:40.479 --> 02:05:42.520
The image of Eric walking towards the window with the

2840
02:05:42.560 --> 02:05:44.920
crow on his shoulder was a double with Lee's face

2841
02:05:45.119 --> 02:05:49.000
digitally added. After lightning flashes, and when Sarah visits the apartment,

2842
02:05:49.079 --> 02:05:51.159
we never see Eric's face. It is actually a double.

2843
02:05:51.479 --> 02:05:53.000
I never realized it was that. I thought it was

2844
02:05:53.039 --> 02:05:54.199
a lot less yea to be honest.

2845
02:05:54.640 --> 02:05:57.319
The film was submitted to the MPAA five times before

2846
02:05:57.359 --> 02:05:59.920
receiving an R rating. Each previous time resulted in an.

2847
02:06:01.680 --> 02:06:02.800
It's a pretty violent movie.

2848
02:06:02.920 --> 02:06:05.640
Yeah. The song a Grave Mistake from American metal band

2849
02:06:05.720 --> 02:06:07.720
Eisteine Kills is based on the story of the film.

2850
02:06:07.800 --> 02:06:10.359
The song comes from the Silver Screen, the band's fifth album.

2851
02:06:10.479 --> 02:06:12.479
Each song on the record comes from a different horror movie.

2852
02:06:12.479 --> 02:06:15.319
You cannot recommend both of those albums enough. And finally,

2853
02:06:15.439 --> 02:06:18.399
The Crow was ranked thirty seventh in IGN's Top one

2854
02:06:18.479 --> 02:06:20.840
hundred Comic Book Heroes in two thousand and five. Creator

2855
02:06:20.920 --> 02:06:23.479
James Obarr claimed The Crow was the best selling independent

2856
02:06:23.560 --> 02:06:26.479
black and white grack novel of all time, translated into

2857
02:06:26.520 --> 02:06:29.119
almost a dozen languages, and has sold over a quarter

2858
02:06:29.239 --> 02:06:32.279
million copies worldwide. The second American comic book to get

2859
02:06:32.520 --> 02:06:36.760
its author the Storyteller Award by the Angelet International Comics Festival,

2860
02:06:36.840 --> 02:06:38.520
held annually in Anjebe, France.

2861
02:06:39.399 --> 02:06:41.199
Wow, Okay, I don't know any of that.

2862
02:06:41.399 --> 02:06:44.439
Yeah, what are your final thoughts on nineteen ninety four's

2863
02:06:44.720 --> 02:06:45.079
The Crow.

2864
02:06:46.159 --> 02:06:48.720
It's it's a hard that's a hard question for me

2865
02:06:49.159 --> 02:06:53.399
because I don't know if it's quintessential enough to me

2866
02:06:54.199 --> 02:06:57.840
to be a by it, but it is an important

2867
02:06:57.880 --> 02:06:58.560
movie to watch.

2868
02:06:58.760 --> 02:06:58.800
It.

2869
02:06:58.960 --> 02:07:03.880
It's very it really represents the time frame very well.

2870
02:07:04.399 --> 02:07:08.840
It became such a major part of pop culture. So

2871
02:07:09.000 --> 02:07:10.359
I don't know if you need to own it, but

2872
02:07:10.439 --> 02:07:14.119
you definitely it's more than worth a rental to. If

2873
02:07:14.159 --> 02:07:16.319
you've never seen The Crows, It's a movie you should

2874
02:07:16.760 --> 02:07:17.520
desperately see.

2875
02:07:17.680 --> 02:07:21.199
Yeah, it's a buy it for me, simply for the

2876
02:07:21.279 --> 02:07:25.199
fact that, unfortunately it is Lee's last performance. I think

2877
02:07:25.279 --> 02:07:28.960
the soundtrack is unbeatable, It's got great action sequences. It's

2878
02:07:29.000 --> 02:07:32.840
a superhero movie to the extent that we don't really

2879
02:07:33.439 --> 02:07:34.920
get like this anymore.

2880
02:07:34.960 --> 02:07:37.159
I would say we just had one.

2881
02:07:37.439 --> 02:07:42.399
Well, I mean I will kill you. Yeah, Yeah, but no,

2882
02:07:42.560 --> 02:07:44.079
I mean it's it is nineties as fuck.

2883
02:07:45.159 --> 02:07:45.439
It is.

2884
02:07:46.039 --> 02:07:50.359
It is a It is just that I'm trying to

2885
02:07:50.359 --> 02:07:51.640
think of how I want to say that. It is

2886
02:07:51.720 --> 02:07:55.079
that concept of a revenge tale that we've seen a

2887
02:07:55.159 --> 02:07:57.960
thousand times obviously, but in this sense of the way

2888
02:07:58.000 --> 02:08:00.159
that it's executed, in the emotion that it had, as

2889
02:08:00.159 --> 02:08:02.840
in the performances that it has. I think the movie

2890
02:08:03.079 --> 02:08:07.119
just has a lasting power that has that has carried

2891
02:08:07.239 --> 02:08:09.039
even to generations today.

2892
02:08:09.119 --> 02:08:11.119
Now, Well, I think and I think you're right and

2893
02:08:11.319 --> 02:08:15.439
having it be Lee's such a tragic story of Lee's

2894
02:08:15.439 --> 02:08:17.880
final performance, Yeah, has given it a lot of staying

2895
02:08:17.920 --> 02:08:18.840
power with a lot of people.

2896
02:08:18.880 --> 02:08:21.399
And I think that's rightfully so absolutely has, so we

2897
02:08:21.479 --> 02:08:23.640
always like that in the show. With a couple of recommendations,

2898
02:08:23.760 --> 02:08:26.960
My first one this week is nineteen ninety eight's Blade,

2899
02:08:27.079 --> 02:08:30.119
which is currently rentable on Prime and Fandango. Half vampire,

2900
02:08:30.239 --> 02:08:32.600
half mortal man becomes the protector of a mortal race

2901
02:08:32.640 --> 02:08:35.479
while slaying evil vampires. If you haven't seen Blade in

2902
02:08:35.520 --> 02:08:37.880
a while, it's definitely worth a rewatch a lot of fun.

2903
02:08:38.319 --> 02:08:41.359
And second, I'm gonna go with nineteen nineties dark Man,

2904
02:08:41.600 --> 02:08:45.239
currently available on AMC Plus rentable through Prime and Fandango

2905
02:08:45.239 --> 02:08:47.800
as well. A brilliant scientist left for dead returns to

2906
02:08:48.000 --> 02:08:50.279
Zach revenge on the people who burned him alive.

2907
02:08:51.640 --> 02:08:54.399
Dark Man would have been my pick? Dark Man, Yeah,

2908
02:08:54.399 --> 02:08:56.680
I have a feeling would have been my pick. I'm sorry,

2909
02:08:57.600 --> 02:08:58.840
so I had to rack my brain.

2910
02:08:59.039 --> 02:09:00.119
Yeah, that's fair.

2911
02:09:00.079 --> 02:09:01.920
About what would my pick be? And I think you're

2912
02:09:01.920 --> 02:09:04.920
going to be surprised because I think my pick would

2913
02:09:05.000 --> 02:09:12.600
probably be twenty eighteen's Mandy Solid solid because it's about

2914
02:09:12.800 --> 02:09:17.079
love and revenge. Yeah, it's visually so striking for those

2915
02:09:17.119 --> 02:09:18.920
who have not seen it, that's a good one. It

2916
02:09:19.039 --> 02:09:20.159
stars Nicholas Cage.

2917
02:09:20.239 --> 02:09:20.800
That's a good pick.

2918
02:09:21.199 --> 02:09:23.600
The enchanted lives of a couple in a secluded forest

2919
02:09:23.640 --> 02:09:26.359
are brutally shattered by a nightmarish hippie cult and their

2920
02:09:26.399 --> 02:09:30.079
demon biker henchman, propelling a man into a spiraling, surreal

2921
02:09:30.239 --> 02:09:33.039
rampage of vengeance. That's maybe one of the best descriptions

2922
02:09:33.279 --> 02:09:36.840
of a movie I've ever heard. That's so accurate. It's

2923
02:09:36.880 --> 02:09:41.760
a hard movie to describe, but a fascinating movie to watch. Yeah,

2924
02:09:42.319 --> 02:09:47.079
and yeah, I think that that would be my pick.

2925
02:09:47.239 --> 02:09:49.640
I will throw another recommendation out there that's basically a

2926
02:09:49.880 --> 02:09:53.880
female crow called Avenged, that is about a woman, a

2927
02:09:53.960 --> 02:09:56.119
deaf woman that is driving back from the country to

2928
02:09:56.960 --> 02:09:59.079
meet up with her fiance. She ends up having a

2929
02:09:59.119 --> 02:10:01.439
car break down. He gets attacked by these people and

2930
02:10:02.000 --> 02:10:04.199
has a Native American spirit bring her back and to

2931
02:10:04.239 --> 02:10:07.079
seek vengeance. And it's a really really good flick, very violent,

2932
02:10:07.399 --> 02:10:11.479
very horror based, extremely violent actually the more I think

2933
02:10:11.520 --> 02:10:13.960
about it, But yeah, Avenge really good. Flick as well.

2934
02:10:14.319 --> 02:10:16.199
Should we check in with our buddies to see what

2935
02:10:16.279 --> 02:10:17.119
they thought of the movie?

2936
02:10:17.279 --> 02:10:21.560
I suppose so if I didn't I pull that up,

2937
02:10:21.760 --> 02:10:24.439
I don't know here it is, you know what, Like

2938
02:10:25.199 --> 02:10:26.760
you're the one who sends me this stuff, and I

2939
02:10:26.840 --> 02:10:28.800
have to I only this is the first.

2940
02:10:28.640 --> 02:10:30.199
Time I sent you to videos that I wanted to

2941
02:10:30.239 --> 02:10:30.920
pull up on the show.

2942
02:10:31.039 --> 02:10:33.000
Yeah, because you realized you could be a bigger prick

2943
02:10:33.079 --> 02:10:33.359
than ever.

2944
02:10:33.520 --> 02:10:39.840
Hey, you know, hear him Avenger.

2945
02:10:40.760 --> 02:10:41.119
A little bit.

2946
02:10:42.079 --> 02:10:44.479
Brandon Lee plays the Crow in that scene, a murdered

2947
02:10:44.520 --> 02:10:47.039
rock musician who comes back to life and vows revenge

2948
02:10:47.359 --> 02:10:50.000
against the evil mastermind behind a gang of thugs who

2949
02:10:51.800 --> 02:10:54.640
on the eve of their wedding wells everybody knows. Brandon

2950
02:10:54.720 --> 02:10:57.359
Lee himself was accidentally shot dead during the filming of

2951
02:10:57.439 --> 02:11:01.520
the Crow gun mistakenly a lethal charge in it, and

2952
02:11:01.640 --> 02:11:04.239
that adds a special poigns to this movie, because not

2953
02:11:04.359 --> 02:11:07.560
only does the story ironically mere real life, but Lee

2954
02:11:07.720 --> 02:11:09.720
is so good here and the movie is so good

2955
02:11:10.079 --> 02:11:11.680
that this could easily have been the beginning of a

2956
02:11:11.760 --> 02:11:14.840
starring career for him. Just look at the visual mood

2957
02:11:14.880 --> 02:11:17.680
of this scene where Lee as the Crow burst from

2958
02:11:17.720 --> 02:11:20.319
the grave and prepares himself for his mission of vengeance.

2959
02:11:22.359 --> 02:11:27.720
Oh yeah, I'm going to talk over that son. He

2960
02:11:27.840 --> 02:11:30.720
still might I mean.

2961
02:11:32.479 --> 02:11:36.920
Something, something though, would have been responsible for. The two

2962
02:11:37.039 --> 02:11:38.000
murders have.

2963
02:11:43.159 --> 02:11:44.279
Just exclusions.

2964
02:11:46.000 --> 02:11:46.439
Oh there you go.

2965
02:11:46.920 --> 02:11:48.479
Yeah, there's the big Fiery Crow.

2966
02:11:48.920 --> 02:11:51.800
The story of the Crow is a pretty straightforward revenge fantasy.

2967
02:11:51.880 --> 02:11:53.840
The murder man comes back from the grave and goes

2968
02:11:53.880 --> 02:11:56.960
looking for those who destroyed his life. What's special about

2969
02:11:57.000 --> 02:11:59.640
the film is it's look, it's style, and it's energy.

2970
02:12:00.119 --> 02:12:03.039
Director Alex Kroyis has put together sort of a cross

2971
02:12:03.079 --> 02:12:06.439
between Blade Runner and Batman, but darker, grungier, and more

2972
02:12:06.520 --> 02:12:07.439
threatening than either.

2973
02:12:07.319 --> 02:12:08.159
One of those pictures.

2974
02:12:08.560 --> 02:12:11.399
And Brandon Lee, in his last performance, shows here that

2975
02:12:11.439 --> 02:12:14.119
he clearly had the potential to become a major action star.

2976
02:12:14.479 --> 02:12:14.640
Well.

2977
02:12:14.720 --> 02:12:17.359
I don't compare this film favorably to either Blade Runner

2978
02:12:17.520 --> 02:12:19.239
or Batman. I don't think it's as good as either

2979
02:12:19.279 --> 02:12:21.600
one of those, and I think it does borrow from

2980
02:12:22.039 --> 02:12:24.880
Blade Runner, in particular the physical look and that I

2981
02:12:24.960 --> 02:12:28.319
think History is one of the most influential art directed

2982
02:12:28.439 --> 02:12:30.640
pictures of all time. And I do think that the

2983
02:12:30.720 --> 02:12:34.039
story is, as you described it, straightforward revenge fantasy.

2984
02:12:34.079 --> 02:12:36.680
What I like I do like the comic book camera angles.

2985
02:12:36.840 --> 02:12:37.560
I do like him.

2986
02:12:37.600 --> 02:12:39.560
I think he is charismatic. But I can't recommend the

2987
02:12:39.560 --> 02:12:41.359
picture because the story bored me so much.

2988
02:12:41.439 --> 02:12:45.119
Roight wow, gene go.

2989
02:12:45.359 --> 02:12:48.399
But this is a very daring attempt to film a

2990
02:12:48.560 --> 02:12:51.359
comic book. I think that the whole movie is a piece.

2991
02:12:51.359 --> 02:12:54.399
For example, all the heavy metal music on the soundtrack

2992
02:12:54.760 --> 02:12:58.039
is very effective. The look of the film is sensational

2993
02:12:58.279 --> 02:13:00.520
when the camera is flying over that city.

2994
02:13:01.800 --> 02:13:02.279
For example.

2995
02:13:02.359 --> 02:13:04.119
I thought that the stories in both the pictures you

2996
02:13:04.279 --> 02:13:07.359
named were more complicated. Both Batman another comic book story,

2997
02:13:07.520 --> 02:13:09.039
and also uh.

2998
02:13:10.760 --> 02:13:13.720
Is actually pretty complicated. There's a lot going on his

2999
02:13:13.880 --> 02:13:15.079
love interest Joker.

3000
02:13:15.319 --> 02:13:17.279
That is't the point here. You know this movie is

3001
02:13:17.319 --> 02:13:20.279
in your It's not a story. All these stories are made.

3002
02:13:20.319 --> 02:13:21.359
Why did you Why did you?

3003
02:13:21.960 --> 02:13:24.600
Why did you describe it as a stay straightforward revenge

3004
02:13:24.640 --> 02:13:26.119
And I'm using your own words.

3005
02:13:26.199 --> 02:13:29.359
Because you know this story is that I was criticizing.

3006
02:13:30.079 --> 02:13:32.439
Criticizing it because but all of the good looks and

3007
02:13:32.760 --> 02:13:34.680
all the good look in the picture, it got very

3008
02:13:34.800 --> 02:13:35.720
repetitive to.

3009
02:13:35.720 --> 02:13:37.239
See a movie like The Crow. In order to have

3010
02:13:37.319 --> 02:13:38.279
a nice subtle.

3011
02:13:38.479 --> 02:13:40.399
No I go to see a movie like the Crow

3012
02:13:40.560 --> 02:13:42.840
have some complication of the story, so that all that

3013
02:13:42.960 --> 02:13:46.239
I don't see is the raining, the rain and the visual.

3014
02:13:47.199 --> 02:13:50.199
Damn, damn, that was brutal.

3015
02:13:51.000 --> 02:13:51.840
That was brutal.

3016
02:13:52.079 --> 02:13:54.920
I mean, I take back all of my review. I'm

3017
02:13:54.960 --> 02:13:55.399
with Ciskel.

3018
02:13:55.880 --> 02:13:57.640
I will leap over this table.

3019
02:13:57.880 --> 02:14:00.239
No, No, but I get what he's He's coming But

3020
02:14:00.359 --> 02:14:04.640
like I mean, I think Ebert is onto something more. Yeah,

3021
02:14:04.880 --> 02:14:08.680
just because this I think the problem is Ciskel wasn't

3022
02:14:08.720 --> 02:14:11.439
interested in the style. No, he was more interested in

3023
02:14:11.479 --> 02:14:13.880
strictly the substance. And I even opened my points with

3024
02:14:14.000 --> 02:14:17.079
saying that it's relatively simple. Ye, it's just executed in

3025
02:14:17.159 --> 02:14:20.079
a really amazing way, and you've got a really charismatic lead.

3026
02:14:20.159 --> 02:14:20.359
Yeah.

3027
02:14:20.720 --> 02:14:22.760
So and I do think again, like I said, time

3028
02:14:22.800 --> 02:14:26.880
has been incredibly kind to revealing how poignant this movie

3029
02:14:26.920 --> 02:14:29.119
would be for like all of gen X. Yeah, so

3030
02:14:29.359 --> 02:14:31.600
I could see where Siskel's coming from. I mean, he

3031
02:14:31.600 --> 02:14:33.279
didn't say it was a big pile of poop, although

3032
02:14:33.319 --> 02:14:35.800
he did say he was bored. Yeah, which is damn.

3033
02:14:36.359 --> 02:14:39.720
I just I think what I think that Ebert nails

3034
02:14:39.760 --> 02:14:41.960
it though. Just the style of the movie in and

3035
02:14:42.039 --> 02:14:46.800
of itself is nothing that I've seen in a good while.

3036
02:14:47.079 --> 02:14:48.439
And I mean, and that could be the fact that

3037
02:14:48.439 --> 02:14:49.319
the movie from ninety four and.

3038
02:14:49.279 --> 02:14:50.840
I guess was this. I mean that well everybody was

3039
02:14:50.880 --> 02:14:52.520
doing that for a minute. Yeah, they were a bit

3040
02:14:52.720 --> 02:14:55.319
yeah here and there, but a dark city, no dark

3041
02:14:55.359 --> 02:14:57.279
city especially. Yeah, but this is this is one that

3042
02:14:57.319 --> 02:14:59.000
it's just like, every time I watch it, I'm just

3043
02:14:59.119 --> 02:15:01.239
I'm sucked into the that this movie creates. Oh, I

3044
02:15:01.239 --> 02:15:03.039
would have. I mean, without a doubt. I mean, the

3045
02:15:03.079 --> 02:15:06.239
colorful characters, the not so colorful literal world. Yeah, I

3046
02:15:06.279 --> 02:15:08.520
mean there's a lot that really pulls you in.

3047
02:15:08.720 --> 02:15:08.880
Yeah.

3048
02:15:09.439 --> 02:15:11.560
And I do think that the story is simple, but

3049
02:15:11.600 --> 02:15:13.800
I think that it's kind of like there's a beauty

3050
02:15:13.840 --> 02:15:17.279
to the simplicity that it's just about love making death

3051
02:15:17.399 --> 02:15:18.680
not really a factor.

3052
02:15:18.800 --> 02:15:20.720
Well, and like you and I said off Mike, it's

3053
02:15:21.039 --> 02:15:23.479
it's unfortunate to say that. I think the movie was

3054
02:15:23.560 --> 02:15:26.520
made lasting and stronger by Lee's passing. Oh, without a doubt,

3055
02:15:26.600 --> 02:15:28.239
because they had to cut the corners that they did

3056
02:15:28.439 --> 02:15:30.119
and do the things that they had to do. One

3057
02:15:30.159 --> 02:15:33.079
of which we should mention is that Michael Berryman was

3058
02:15:33.119 --> 02:15:35.359
originally in the film as the Skull Cowboy and the

3059
02:15:35.399 --> 02:15:38.560
Skull Cowboy in the text of the Crow is the

3060
02:15:38.800 --> 02:15:42.000
crow Guide. Basically, he's the spirit guide to him and

3061
02:15:42.039 --> 02:15:44.560
tells them what's going on. So there is footage out

3062
02:15:44.560 --> 02:15:46.760
there of Michael Berryman as a skull cowboy, but when

3063
02:15:47.439 --> 02:15:50.119
Lee unfortunately passed, they couldn't shoot the remainder of the

3064
02:15:50.199 --> 02:15:52.239
scenes with him, so they just completely cut him out

3065
02:15:52.239 --> 02:15:53.039
of the movie entirely.

3066
02:15:53.359 --> 02:15:55.840
Honestly, the thing that surprised me the most about watching

3067
02:15:55.920 --> 02:15:59.840
that clip was I'm shocked that Gene Siskel didn't rise

3068
02:15:59.880 --> 02:16:01.800
from the dead on the day the remake came out

3069
02:16:02.520 --> 02:16:08.399
to get vengeance for the original movie. In rip, Dave

3070
02:16:08.600 --> 02:16:10.079
is angry. Do you want me to get on a

3071
02:16:10.119 --> 02:16:11.680
weiji board we can see what he thought of the remake. No,

3072
02:16:11.760 --> 02:16:14.079
maybe it'll make it feel better. Okay, Okay, I just offering.

3073
02:16:14.399 --> 02:16:15.079
It's just offering.

3074
02:16:15.159 --> 02:16:17.319
Even let me see what the IMDb rating is on

3075
02:16:17.439 --> 02:16:22.199
that right now, because it was low for you. It's

3076
02:16:22.239 --> 02:16:23.720
not snow white low, but it's low.

3077
02:16:23.920 --> 02:16:24.479
It's it's.

3078
02:16:25.840 --> 02:16:29.520
Lord have mercy. So do we have any emails this week?

3079
02:16:29.640 --> 02:16:32.680
I know for a fact we have one. Okay, because

3080
02:16:33.040 --> 02:16:35.200
this feeds into something I wanted to mention on the

3081
02:16:35.239 --> 02:16:37.479
show anyway, But before I do, I want to remind

3082
02:16:37.520 --> 02:16:39.520

02:16:51.200 --> 02:16:54.159
what's up, guys, longtime listener, first time emailer.

3087
02:16:54.319 --> 02:16:54.719
Awesome.

3088
02:16:54.840 --> 02:16:57.079
Firstly, love the show week in and week out. I

3089
02:16:57.200 --> 02:16:59.440
get so many recks from y'all and even more from

3090
02:16:59.559 --> 02:17:03.239
Dave's life boxed. Anyways, I was just reaching out for

3091
02:17:03.360 --> 02:17:06.079
a link to your store. I'd love to buy a shirt,

3092
02:17:06.159 --> 02:17:08.920
but when I click on the store the pod pages,

3093
02:17:09.000 --> 02:17:11.639
it takes me to store Env's page, Baine page, and

3094
02:17:11.760 --> 02:17:14.000
I can't find a shirt. Well, the good news is

3095
02:17:14.159 --> 02:17:17.120
I fixed it. I have no idea why that happened.

3096
02:17:17.200 --> 02:17:18.799
Yeah, shout out to our buddy Mike, who brought that

3097
02:17:18.840 --> 02:17:19.319
to our attention.

3098
02:17:19.360 --> 02:17:21.280
By the way, while I was in the midst of

3099
02:17:21.440 --> 02:17:25.000
working at a conventional weekend. Yeah, but when I got home,

3100
02:17:25.200 --> 02:17:27.120
I took a look at it, especially when I saw

3101
02:17:27.159 --> 02:17:30.079
that email which I got earlier today, the day we're

3102
02:17:30.079 --> 02:17:32.719
recording this, and I was able to fix it as

3103
02:17:32.799 --> 02:17:35.319
far as I can tell it's working. So all you

3104
02:17:35.399 --> 02:17:36.719
have to do if you want to grab a shirt,

3105
02:17:36.719 --> 02:17:39.760
which we would very much appreciate the support, all you

3106
02:17:39.840 --> 02:17:41.680
have to do is go to dooevenmovie dot com and

3107
02:17:41.760 --> 02:17:44.079
click on store. There's a T shirt as well as

3108
02:17:44.120 --> 02:17:47.639
a water bottle and a latte mug because I just

3109
02:17:47.680 --> 02:17:51.079
thought it was neat fair enough. But yeah, so dooevenmovie

02:18:25.319 --> 02:18:26.399
I mean, if you want to, if you want to

3126
02:18:26.440 --> 02:18:27.879
hear me be if you want to hear me be

3127
02:18:27.959 --> 02:18:29.879
shitty on a little bit more of the Crow, our

3128
02:18:29.879 --> 02:18:32.639
buddy Mike Ashuey. On this week in Geek, we did

3129
02:18:32.680 --> 02:18:35.920
an episode all about The Crow and its sequels. So

3130
02:18:36.000 --> 02:18:38.280
we talked about City of Angels, we talked about Salvation,

3131
02:18:38.399 --> 02:18:40.920
we talked about Wicked Prayer, we talked about the TV series.

3132
02:18:41.200 --> 02:18:43.440
So you can find that episode anywhere that this week

3133
02:18:43.440 --> 02:18:45.959
and Geek is carried at. And that is where I

3134
02:18:46.159 --> 02:18:48.639
really go off on some things. Oh wow, I.

3135
02:18:48.719 --> 02:18:52.680
Mean thank god, you were so so dued here. Yeah goodness.

3136
02:18:52.840 --> 02:18:54.559
No, no, I didn't start the show talking about a

3137
02:18:54.600 --> 02:18:55.920
middle breakdown basically.

3138
02:18:55.959 --> 02:18:58.920
Howdy no, no, no, it would only it's nothing. A

3139
02:18:58.959 --> 02:19:00.319
spike bracelet can't fit, right.

3140
02:19:00.479 --> 02:19:04.479
So this wraps up April showers and fuck you, this

3141
02:19:04.639 --> 02:19:07.200
wraps up April showers. So that means we are moving

3142
02:19:07.280 --> 02:19:09.159
into May. Would you like to know what we are

3143
02:19:09.280 --> 02:19:11.280
talking about the month of May? And also kicking May

3144
02:19:11.399 --> 02:19:15.520
off with sure So we unfortunately in twenty twenty five,

3145
02:19:15.639 --> 02:19:18.360
have lost some big names that have had some great

3146
02:19:18.479 --> 02:19:20.719
careers in great films. So we are doing a theme

3147
02:19:20.840 --> 02:19:23.000
called May They Rest in Peace, where each week we

3148
02:19:23.040 --> 02:19:26.120
are going to feature one of the recently past and

3149
02:19:26.360 --> 02:19:28.319
one of their favorite movies or one of our favorite

3150
02:19:28.360 --> 02:19:32.399
movies from them, kicking it off with the respect to

3151
02:19:32.399 --> 02:19:35.399
the late great Michelle Trachtenberg with nineteen ninety six is

3152
02:19:35.559 --> 02:19:36.079
Harriet the.

3153
02:19:36.079 --> 02:19:39.159
Spy, one of my first favorite movies as a kid.

3154
02:19:39.200 --> 02:19:41.440
Currently available on Paramount Plus. Does not have a Blu

3155
02:19:41.559 --> 02:19:43.559
ray at this time, even though I argued with him

3156
02:19:43.639 --> 02:19:44.200
that there was.

3157
02:19:44.600 --> 02:19:46.680
But you know, it was funny because I was so

3158
02:19:46.719 --> 02:19:47.959
out of it because I was like, David, if there

3159
02:19:48.120 --> 02:19:50.280
was a blue ray be on Amazon, and yeah, well

3160
02:19:50.319 --> 02:19:51.680
it would be on my shelf. Yeah.

3161
02:19:52.479 --> 02:19:55.760
I swear that it was announced or something.

3162
02:19:56.319 --> 02:19:59.280
I don't know, but I got nothing for you because Good.

3163
02:19:59.200 --> 02:20:02.239
Burger's on blue. They've got I think the Ruggar Arts

3164
02:20:02.280 --> 02:20:03.760
movies even all blue right now too, So I mean

3165
02:20:03.760 --> 02:20:05.639
they're going through some of their nick catalogs. So this

3166
02:20:05.719 --> 02:20:10.479
one's gotta come soon, I would think, I especially now. Unfortunately. Yeah,

3167
02:20:10.680 --> 02:20:12.280
but yeah, we'll be talking about Harriett the Spy from

3168
02:20:12.319 --> 02:20:15.280
nineteen ninety six next week, currently available on Paramount Plus.

3169
02:20:15.360 --> 02:20:18.360
So if you want to revisit and cry along with us,

3170
02:20:18.600 --> 02:20:19.959
that's what we're talking about next week.

3171
02:20:20.239 --> 02:20:23.479
What a sales pitch. Yeah, So on that note, it's

3172
02:20:23.559 --> 02:20:25.600
time to take off. So thank you guys so much

3173
02:20:25.639 --> 02:20:27.879
for joining us for do you even movie? We really

3174
02:20:27.920 --> 02:20:31.239
do appreciate it. Make sure you're subscribed, YadA YadA, et cetera,

3175
02:20:31.319 --> 02:20:35.920
et cetera. And uh, Dave, I'm gonna let you have

3176
02:20:36.000 --> 02:20:39.600
the final word, okay, because this is no, because this

3177
02:20:39.680 --> 02:20:41.040
is like one of your favorite movies of all time.

3178
02:20:41.079 --> 02:20:41.719
No, absolutely, we.

3179
02:20:41.719 --> 02:20:43.680
Talked about Terminator too. I'd hope you just shut.

3180
02:20:43.520 --> 02:20:47.959
That's fair once in your life. So to wrap up,

3181
02:20:48.040 --> 02:20:49.959
I would say, if you have not seen the Crow,

3182
02:20:50.600 --> 02:20:52.840
whether ever you've seen, if you've never seen the Crow,

3183
02:20:52.959 --> 02:20:54.040
or if you haven't seen it in a while, it's

3184
02:20:54.040 --> 02:20:57.200
absolutely worth the rewatch. It's a great time to check

3185
02:20:57.239 --> 02:20:59.000
it out now with the four K transfer as well too.

3186
02:20:59.479 --> 02:21:00.920
And I think I think the only way for me

3187
02:21:01.040 --> 02:21:02.799
to say this and end this is it can't rain

3188
02:21:02.840 --> 02:21:08.319
all the time, or at least not next Tuesday.
