Behind The Mics: ATRM Patron Q&A

Interactive Transcript

spk_0 All the other movies.

spk_0 Hi everyone, welcome to this extra special podcast from all the right movies.

spk_0 My name is Luke and Delvin into the ATRM meal bag with me are Matt.

spk_0 Hello, John.

spk_0 Hi everybody.

spk_0 And Westy.

spk_0 Hello.

spk_0 This is our half yearly time out from our regular podcast where we feel questions from our biggest

spk_0 fans, the glorious ATRM patrons.

spk_0 Being shout out to you guys.

spk_0 Yes, lovely stuff.

spk_0 Always, yeah.

spk_0 Thank you to everyone who's contributed with a question.

spk_0 We do try and get round to everyone who chips in and try not answer questions from the

spk_0 same people all the time.

spk_0 We had a lot to choose from this month's sore.

spk_0 Many thanks once again.

spk_0 Yes, thanks.

spk_0 A lot of good ones as well.

spk_0 A lot of great ones, so we have to be particular with them.

spk_0 We will get to you eventually though.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 So let's just dive straight into it, shall we?

spk_0 I'm good.

spk_0 Let's do it.

spk_0 Our first question comes from Stuart McDee.

spk_0 Hi, Stuart.

spk_0 Hello, Stuart.

spk_0 Stuart says, what film gave you that first love of movies which has seen you end up on

spk_0 this podcast?

spk_0 Gone all the way back.

spk_0 John, over to you first.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I mean, the easy answer for me would be Star Wars.

spk_0 Singing that as a kid was like having my brain rewired to be honest.

spk_0 I think it was for a lot of people.

spk_0 Yeah, definitely.

spk_0 Some of that 80s classics are so as a kid.

spk_0 Like Ghostbusters back to the future in the end.

spk_0 I mean, those kind of films, what seemed to have a kind of magic to them as a kid?

spk_0 Yeah, yeah.

spk_0 And they still deal with me.

spk_0 How much do you have that just nostalgia or not?

spk_0 But the hard news, I'm sure.

spk_0 No, no, it's definitely still there.

spk_0 It's still there for Stuart.

spk_0 It's no denying that.

spk_0 But honestly, what led me to what we do now, it wasn't just movies.

spk_0 I've always been drawn to like creativity in general since I was a kid, whether that's

spk_0 music or books or films, whatever, always been fascinated by the whole like creative

spk_0 process and art in general.

spk_0 And most of my working life has been spent in creative industries and one way or another.

spk_0 So why we did this, I think movies are this like perfect combination of loads of different

spk_0 kinds of creative.

spk_0 And we like talking about writing music, visuals, design, loads more.

spk_0 So how we do the podcast, it does feel like a kind of natural extension of what I've

spk_0 kind of always done.

spk_0 Plus, I get the talk about stuff like Ghostbusters basically full time now, which here all of

spk_0 me would have thought was pretty cool, I think.

spk_0 Yeah, yeah, definitely.

spk_0 Although not as cool as playing for Sonland.

spk_0 Obviously, that wasn't ever happened.

spk_0 Fantastic.

spk_0 And what about you, Matt?

spk_0 I'll just go back to a film we covered a few episodes ago.

spk_0 Of course, Point Blank, because it was a teenager.

spk_0 As I said on that episode, it was the first time I went to the cinema by myself and

spk_0 thought, actually, this isn't social suicide, which if perhaps was seen as back then.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Like I said, then if I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have kind of say your whole rough

spk_0 to films I came after that, you know, so the likes of Magnolia, Banger, I'm Alkavitch

spk_0 and probably Ghostbine Bang, it's probably the first film I can remember thinking.

spk_0 I want to talk about this film with people.

spk_0 Very nice.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And Westy, first love of movies, first love of movie, I try to go all the way back like

spk_0 the very, very first one I remember seeing and just being incredibly excited about not

spk_0 quite knowing what it was.

spk_0 And that ultimately was Jason, the organ, and just seeing Taylor lost come around the

spk_0 whole.

spk_0 What are you, Westy?

spk_0 That's not telling me.

spk_0 I didn't watch it in the fucking cinema.

spk_0 I didn't watch it in the video.

spk_0 It was on the talent.

spk_0 It was fine.

spk_0 I mean, we dad Paul's in it because about the toilet was like, well, I put him, he

spk_0 paused it on the video and I was like, oh, this right.

spk_0 Okay, and we came back down to just to remember, vividly sit watching.

spk_0 I must have been about five, I think.

spk_0 And it was just incredible.

spk_0 Like, what is this?

spk_0 Why does the skeleton's fight in this guy?

spk_0 And the skeleton's still gray on the, yeah, it's still fantastic.

spk_0 You know, the harbys seen it, but it looked like Pension Monument like where we're from.

spk_0 She was just pretending it was there.

spk_0 And it was like this kind of art and a tape and a life type of thing.

spk_0 That was incredible.

spk_0 And then I got a little bit older and I missed out on going to say Batman in 1989

spk_0 because it was the first of a 12 and I was 11.

spk_0 So I mean, I didn't want to take the risk.

spk_0 Because the thought I would go to prison or something.

spk_0 I was like, just take the risk.

spk_0 It took one year, like, sure.

spk_0 And then I saw that and that had such an impact on me, just the visuals of it,

spk_0 just the whole feel of it, just really made sense.

spk_0 And then later on, films that I really wanted to talk about, it was just before I went

spk_0 at the uni, just as I met Matt when I was working in the cinema.

spk_0 And just before that, I saw the likes of seven and that changed me completely.

spk_0 Of just a craft of it, just the technical and just like leaving you with just

spk_0 just such an empty feeling at the end of it, everything I thought films had to have a happy

spk_0 ending. I saw that and I was just completely changed by it.

spk_0 And then films with a happy end, like the Shawshank redemption, I think has a massive

spk_0 impact on anyone who sees it for the first time.

spk_0 No matter what age you are.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And I think that might be a bit of a cliche now, but it is that good.

spk_0 It's turned into a cliche.

spk_0 So from all of their moments and all of them films where it was just this brand new thing

spk_0 that always came to us.

spk_0 And the people that I used to talk about all these experiences with were predominantly

spk_0 youth free when I was grown up.

spk_0 I mean, so that we remember the story.

spk_0 Yeah, but of course, impossible to forget is rambling it out your throat.

spk_0 Oh, yes, where's the fucking brace yourself?

spk_0 Can I get rid of this?

spk_0 So that's the whole point.

spk_0 And I think I was coming together because we just, it's just such a natural thing.

spk_0 We've just done it for so long.

spk_0 And we all seem to have very similar tastes and very similar ions in the fire, but we all kind

spk_0 of bring something different.

spk_0 So it was just, it was an all brain.

spk_0 I really just, we all enjoy doing so much as well.

spk_0 Do it properly.

spk_0 A natural step.

spk_0 Yeah, I think so.

spk_0 Hmm.

spk_0 No, no, no, no, no.

spk_0

spk_0 I don't know about that.

spk_0 That was too fucking.

spk_0 It's a struggle for me if I'm honest.

spk_0 I've said on a number of occasions that I grew up in the VHS boom.

spk_0 We all did and very similar to you, John, I watched all the ones that you would expect

spk_0 of an 80s, Kades back to the future Ghostbusters Raider, the reanimator, you know, all the classics.

spk_0 But there were two that I would say are classes my favorite films when I was like in single figures,

spk_0 well, I was really young.

spk_0 And the first was Mary Poppins.

spk_0 Loved everything about it.

spk_0 It was a world that was familiar, but it also took me to this place of wonderment and those penguins.

spk_0 I mean, I just can't get enough of them to this day.

spk_0 Yeah, incredible.

spk_0 Just covered obviously didn't meet me.

spk_0 Is there still magnificent?

spk_0 Oh, yeah, it's a wonderful thing.

spk_0 Yeah, it's to completely timeless.

spk_0 It's just just something of itself, isn't it?

spk_0 Really?

spk_0 Yeah, it is.

spk_0 I get really.

spk_0 Yeah, it's still grace.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And secondly, following a similar path of being taken into a magical world, it was the Wizard of Oz.

spk_0 Just blew me away.

spk_0 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

spk_0 That technical transition into Muriel Land of Oz is still breathtaking.

spk_0 It is.

spk_0 Absolutely brilliant.

spk_0 Yeah, yeah.

spk_0 The lie in is still one of my favorite characters.

spk_0 There's all the time.

spk_0 Yeah, hell area.

spk_0 It's pretty much.

spk_0 Put them up.

spk_0 It dies through that window at the end.

spk_0 That's hilarious.

spk_0 Unbelievable.

spk_0 It's all good.

spk_0 And the wick of which to the west is still better up.

spk_0 Great.

spk_0 Yeah, brilliant.

spk_0 I'll never win you again.

spk_0 The water thrown out of the end and just like what a world.

spk_0 What a world.

spk_0 Yeah, it's amazing.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I saw a shone of that at the sphere in Vegas and it was unlike anything I have ever seen.

spk_0 Wow.

spk_0 Nice.

spk_0 The one with all the CGI added background stuff.

spk_0 Yes, that's right.

spk_0 And it kind of goes back throughout the the whole auditorium.

spk_0 It's like a five day experience.

spk_0 It's magnificent.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 It's unbelievable.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 So if you get the chance, I would recommend it 100%.

spk_0 Great.

spk_0 And then once you've got those two films under your belt, you're aware.

spk_0 Where do you go?

spk_0 And it led us.

spk_0 It led us to kind of meeting together because we all met at university.

spk_0 Doing something around films.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And that led us to the podcast.

spk_0 It did.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 The yellow brick road.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Wonderful.

spk_0 But thanks for getting the ball rolling stews.

spk_0 Great question.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Thank you, mate.

spk_0 Which one of us is Dorothy though?

spk_0 Well, you obviously.

spk_0 You obviously.

spk_0 You've got a dog.

spk_0 My wife.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 You've got the dog.

spk_0 That's a reason.

spk_0 Next up, we've got a question from Keir Tbarowski.

spk_0 Hello, Keir.

spk_0 Keir is a wordy question.

spk_0 She said, I found that after watching, discussing and rating bridge over the river

spk_0 pie when it came time to do the same for growth point blank.

spk_0 And especially the future, I found myself thinking too hard about whether I thought these were worthy and great movies.

spk_0 So I asked myself, how do I judge the quality or worthiness or importance of a film?

spk_0 Something that gets a little further in description, then I really liked it.

spk_0 Sounds silly.

spk_0 I know.

spk_0 And I came up with an answer that led me to the future.

spk_0 It is definitely a ten.

spk_0 It definitely is.

spk_0 Wow.

spk_0 Nice.

spk_0 OK.

spk_0 So long build up.

spk_0 Her question is, how would you answer the question?

spk_0 What makes a movie great, important, worthy?

spk_0 Three big words.

spk_0 And just to add a bit of context, Keir said, she's got a grad degree in painting and wonder this every time she reads art critics or historians opinion.

spk_0 So right.

spk_0 Why was that?

spk_0 OK.

spk_0 Can't you understand that?

spk_0 She knows that stuff.

spk_0 Matt, do you know your stuff?

spk_0 I think we're established by now, definitely.

spk_0 Wow.

spk_0 He's not in Kansas anymore.

spk_0 Cowdy line can take this one.

spk_0 I mean, I imagine a emotional conundrum that I'm certain you contemplated when you gave Gremlins a ten math, right?

spk_0 Still bringing that over here?

spk_0 That's nice.

spk_0 Right?

spk_0 OK.

spk_0 That'll never lie.

spk_0 No, do you know what that's a great example to bring up because I think what I've learned on this is to not get too caught up about what the eventual score is going to be because sometimes the score can.

spk_0 It really can differ on the mood.

spk_0 I mean, sometimes the film doesn't quite connect because of other reasons.

spk_0 And I think it's probably a bit lower than I might give it on another day.

spk_0 So don't worry about it as much as a year, too, because I think there's different types of tens.

spk_0 You know, you mentioned Gremlins, but another one cross-point blank.

spk_0 I gave that a ten because that's got a deep, deep personal connection for me.

spk_0 A different type of ten is the ten that I gave, for example, Godfather Part II.

spk_0 I don't have a particular connection to that on a personal level, but it's placed in cinematic history and the craft behind it simply can't be denied and argued against.

spk_0 It has to be a ten.

spk_0 That's just the way I look at it.

spk_0 It just has to come from the gut now rather than kind of obsessing about it too much.

spk_0 So yeah, I just think there's different types of tens and that's just the way I look at it now.

spk_0 Where's your thought process on that one, Westy?

spk_0 I mean, it's very much the same if I'm honest.

spk_0 I mean, we've gone through it and I have had these moments of like,

spk_0 waking up at six in the morning just feeling, ah, right?

spk_0 Okay, I've got to get up anyway, but what does that do that for?

spk_0 That doesn't reflect what I really kind of think of it, but it really does,

spk_0 but it's not what people want it to hear or expect it to hear.

spk_0 And I've got friends who listen to the podcast and they say,

spk_0 I can't believe he gives such and such.

spk_0 They say, I can't believe it's not a, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a,

spk_0 it's a 10 more to matter with you.

spk_0 And this is like, what people forget me in that just

spk_0 matter, but this is, this is not a science.

spk_0 It's an art form and it's subjective.

spk_0 And there's lots of things that you could look at.

spk_0 I mean, I look, especially at the confidence in the filmmaker and the technical

spk_0 prowess that's in there, the performances, I also look at the pacing of it.

spk_0 I look at the legacy behind it, look at the direction, look at the cinematography.

spk_0 All of these things kind of tick boxes for me, put down for other people.

spk_0 So I think, obviously, it's something that speaks to you.

spk_0 That's the most important thing.

spk_0 If you find something in there that you that resonates with you that moves you,

spk_0 that takes you somewhere else, then to me, that's a really positive thing.

spk_0 That's then you're on a five and you're just going above that.

spk_0 You just kind of work on how much is it affect me?

spk_0 How much does it touch you?

spk_0 How much does this resonate with what you're going through or what you have been

spk_0 through? There's an incredible discussion with Ethan Holt.

spk_0 That's our nine if you want to listen to it.

spk_0 And he's just talking about poetry and how important that is and how important

spk_0 songs are and how important art is.

spk_0 And it's not until you've gone through hell, do you realize that you're

spk_0 actually need that?

spk_0 You actually need that with you to say people have gone through this.

spk_0 And you put films on for different reasons.

spk_0 You'll come up from the poem.

spk_0 You'll stick something on to feel a certain way and you'll be feeling melancholic.

spk_0 You'll be feeling lonely and you want to just watch something that has that similar

spk_0 feel. So you know, you're not alone in the world.

spk_0 And I think a lot of that is really personal.

spk_0 And to turn around and say, well, yes, this is definitely a 10.

spk_0 A lot of that for me is based on legacy.

spk_0 A lot of that is based on the longevity of it.

spk_0 Like Matt said, Godfather Part 2 taxi driver.

spk_0 I want to have the conversation where Raiders for all to years attend,

spk_0 but people turn around and say, well, no, it's not.

spk_0 It's like an aided.

spk_0 It's all how it's been done before.

spk_0 It's what it's when you say it.

spk_0 It's how it resonates.

spk_0 And that's a thing I'm in case you get now.

spk_0 I don't think she needs to worry so much about what she's paying.

spk_0 And I think what she needs to worry about is how much of a self she's putting into it.

spk_0 And not worry about how critically that's received much like film.

spk_0 You put yourself out there.

spk_0 If people resonate with it and get it great.

spk_0 If the don't, you've still lost nothing.

spk_0 And you've put something out there and that's what people are going to remember you by.

spk_0 So that's the most important thing.

spk_0 What I can't stand is a cash grab something, get put out there just purely to make money with no,

spk_0 no resonance, no emotion, no point behind it.

spk_0 Just out there just for the pure fact of making money, I can't get behind that.

spk_0 But if something's got heart, if something's got soul, if something's got meaning,

spk_0 if something's got a reason to exist, it started to five and works.

spk_0 It's way up for me.

spk_0 But the earlier point there was, I was at yours yesterday and you were watching the matrix revolutions.

spk_0 I know.

spk_0 Lovely.

spk_0 Yep.

spk_0 How did you find it?

spk_0 Three.

spk_0 That's great.

spk_0 Of course.

spk_0 Did you have Zulu on in black and white?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I was on the laptop on the black, white and I was going upstairs to make a brew right in the matrix.

spk_0 It was a different kind of vibe.

spk_0 No, I had it on the other night.

spk_0 I thought I've really got to give this a try.

spk_0 A calm piece by it as I remember.

spk_0 And it really is.

spk_0 So I mean, the first marriage is my speech.

spk_0 We're not going to get into that.

spk_0 That's not what we're talking about.

spk_0 But anyway, that's my point.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 And a great point of Wars, Westy.

spk_0 Thank you, Luke.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I think I've certainly, you know, films that are easy tens and then films where people are surprised

spk_0 that I've given a 10.

spk_0 I've grappled with given like the Godfather and midnight runner 10 on some levels at least.

spk_0 Two very different films.

spk_0 But for me, they're both undeniably a 10, but for different reasons.

spk_0 Exactly.

spk_0 I think a distinction needs to be made about certainly my rate and tactics.

spk_0 I don't know if it's the same for you, fellas, but I largely rate based on other movies in

spk_0 that genre.

spk_0 So the Godfather, I'm stacking it up against the big boys and girls in the crime drama category,

spk_0 for example, right?

spk_0

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 Midnight run anything in the buddy cop action genre and they're both best in class for me.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Anything else directed by Martin Brass, basically.

spk_0 So you just put in that by Brass.

spk_0 Which are both tens, let's be honest.

spk_0 Me, Joe Black.

spk_0 Anything like that.

spk_0 Jesus.

spk_0 Everything got to be alright.

spk_0 For kids question, I think it's a covenation of a lot of things.

spk_0 What a film means to you personally, what impact it had on cinema.

spk_0 Did it break through into popular culture in general?

spk_0 Is it still relevant?

spk_0 I think a lot of those things are quite obvious, but some not so much.

spk_0 I'm not a massive fan of the six cents, but I'm well aware of its cultural impacts.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And it's absolute place at the table of our classic podcast.

spk_0 Something like 28 days later, may seem like a fairly innocuous zombie movie.

spk_0 A bloody good one.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 But its influence is absolutely massive and largely unsung.

spk_0 We likely wouldn't have trained a person and the walk and dead without it.

spk_0 Exactly.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 So it's a lot of different factors and a combination of all those things from me.

spk_0 Kater, I think what about you, John?

spk_0 Yeah, I think it's a good question.

spk_0 I think probably shown by the fact that we've all entered it slightly differently.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I think it kind of ties into our tagline for the podcast, the story of Hollywood one film at a time.

spk_0 Because the word we often use when talking about films to talk about is significant,

spk_0 which can probably mean a lot of things.

spk_0 I mean, a film could be significant because it was massively influential.

spk_0 Even if it's not that well known, it could have been an influence on other bigger films.

spk_0 It could be significant because it was very successful.

spk_0 Like box office wise and had an apartment Hollywood is a business or how things are marked.

spk_0 They didn't Hollywood or could just be significant because we love it.

spk_0 All of the story of how it was made.

spk_0 So we do keep a personal as well.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And I mean, for me, from doing the podcast, I think what makes a movie really significant is when it hits a few of those marks,

spk_0 ideally all them say George, which we won't stop banging on about made

spk_0 important.

spk_0 Then there's some of love, but the influence countless filmmakers that making of stories are

spk_0 rages and I still love it.

spk_0 So that's how I describe a film can be significant or worthy.

spk_0 But it's hard trying to explain what makes a film significant or worthy.

spk_0 I think I mean, it's like trying to explain why Cardi's shot the taste good.

spk_0 I think it's like really difficult.

spk_0 I tried that and it's really hard.

spk_0 Take it out of the freezer.

spk_0 So you need to do a step one.

spk_0

spk_0 Great points all for us and a great question.

spk_0 Okay. Thank you.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Thank you.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 Good luck with the pin.

spk_0 By the way, absolutely.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Good.

spk_0 Let's say again, the moment.

spk_0 Here we are.

spk_0 So you're going to get one.

spk_0 Absolutely.

spk_0 We'd love to see you.

spk_0 We'd love to keep up the doodling.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Always.

spk_0 I keep up the doodling.

spk_0 Always.

spk_0 And next we have another great one from Damian Lanx.

spk_0 Hi, Damian.

spk_0 Hello, Damian.

spk_0 Damian says, all right, top lads.

spk_0 Well, you know, as well.

spk_0 I love these areas.

spk_0 Thanks.

spk_0 He says, individually, what would be a film you would love to cover,

spk_0 which wouldn't have a chance on the pole?

spk_0 Now, Westy.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 You know what mine is.

spk_0 I can only guess Highlander.

spk_0 No, but one that wouldn't even be touched on it,

spk_0 even double feature just wouldn't get looked at.

spk_0 There's a different kind of branches for me.

spk_0 One that I'll go down there.

spk_0 It's not incredibly popular kind of cinema or really accessible.

spk_0 It's probably seen as being overly pretentious.

spk_0 I would imagine, but I love anything like that.

spk_0 I would literally say anything by Bellatar,

spk_0 the wreck master harmonies is not going to happen.

spk_0 And I think Damian has asked that question.

spk_0 So I would give that answer because it looks at films well and I know that very well.

spk_0 And also a little of films that I really like that I don't think have,

spk_0 like John's just said, the significance of it.

spk_0 I mean, I'd love to do strange days by Catherine Bigel.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0

spk_0 Don't know if that's just, is that too small?

spk_0 Will that make an impact?

spk_0 I'd like to people want to hear about that film,

spk_0 little things like that.

spk_0 And little ones that I kind of grew up with that I really love talking about.

spk_0 But again, the significance isn't really there.

spk_0 Like lethal weapon three, predator two.

spk_0 You know, it's not the opposite.

spk_0 Gary is a very good predator.

spk_0 We've already been lethal weapon, but lethal weapon three.

spk_0 I've watched that so many times.

spk_0 I love it.

spk_0 It's such a great fun.

spk_0 But like good stuff.

spk_0 Yeah, cop killers.

spk_0 It's never going to hit a classic episode and we're never ever going to be able to talk

spk_0 about that for longer than 30 minutes and four points, you know.

spk_0 So it's one of them things.

spk_0 But yeah, I think my real kind of love is that, you know, really long pretentious black

spk_0 and white cinema, especially the work of Bella Tards.

spk_0 Just, you know, took off skin, anything like that.

spk_0 But I don't really think there's room for that at the moment.

spk_0 I might have to branch off on paper and do like a little Westie's Westie special

spk_0 visual.

spk_0 Westie's called.

spk_0 Oh, yeah, Westie.

spk_0 Westie under the under the stairs or something like that.

spk_0 I'll figure something out.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I'm in Western corner in black and white.

spk_0 Great.

spk_0 Well, I mean, I don't think we have enough time and the show for me, real of all the

spk_0 shit that I'd love to talk about.

spk_0 I would embarrass itself on the pole.

spk_0 But one that just stands above every other one, head and shoulder.

spk_0 As I mentioned it before, it's been a few door feature polls and came up short.

spk_0 It's blow out.

spk_0 Yes, of course.

spk_0 Address to kill and dress to kill.

spk_0 Yeah, it's a back feature.

spk_0 I mean, that is the best double feature offered.

spk_0 Anybody could get nobody likes it.

spk_0 You've ever learned me ever.

spk_0 And then you kept asking for them back after two days.

spk_0 Can I have them back please?

spk_0 Have you watched them?

spk_0 Was I?

spk_0 Yeah, well, and the 19th of the law, if you have a for any length of time,

spk_0 then it's yours.

spk_0 So I want to avoid that situation completely.

spk_0 That's theft.

spk_0 Yeah, so blow out.

spk_0 Departments best, Travolta's best, maybe it's one perfect film for me.

spk_0 I can't get enough of it.

spk_0 And I revisited it regularly more and more as I get older.

spk_0 So I'm just good to go when the time arrives.

spk_0 So whenever you're ready, everybody who's voting, listening, you know, I'll pay for votes.

spk_0 You pay for votes.

spk_0 What about you, John?

spk_0 Yeah, I think there's musicals tend to not do well on polls, which is the same.

spk_0 I love to do some of them.

spk_0 I agree.

spk_0 Meaning,

spk_0 I agree.

spk_0 Yeah, I agree.

spk_0 And singing in the rain, I mean, talking about worthy films, so they don't come much more significant than that.

spk_0 I don't think huge.

spk_0 What Hollywood generally doesn't do great on polls either.

spk_0 No, I'd love to do Psycho or mentioned it.

spk_0 The Wizard of Oz, the making of story for the Wizard of Oz is one of the very best there is.

spk_0 It's absolutely madness.

spk_0 That would be great.

spk_0 So if I'm picking one, I'd like to do a might go network,

spk_0 though wild behind the scene story of some others, maybe they're still good, but as a piece of drama,

spk_0 especially a piece of writing, it's just extraordinary.

spk_0 I'm pretty sure I've had a crystal ball when you roll that film and the cast on the mass of great performances,

spk_0 Oscar's records coming out of its back side.

spk_0 So yeah, network might be the one.

spk_0 Network is, yeah, that's really good for you to replace your Amadeus.

spk_0 It really is.

spk_0 Yeah, that's the next one.

spk_0 It's right into that hall.

spk_0 Amadeus is here for the issue.

spk_0 It's like network.

spk_0 And you just keep putting it on polls.

spk_0 I'm not going to take any more of this shit.

spk_0 Perfect.

spk_0 What about you, Matt?

spk_0 What film do you want to talk about?

spk_0 Well, I'm a bit like John in that out.

spk_0 I'd like to really push to do more like classic Hollywood pre-97ies films.

spk_0 So a big one for that pay.

spk_0 It's been a few polls and I would never come to close, but I think

spk_0 me, Wesy and John would be all over the searches if that came.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 John Ford, John Wayne, we don't do enough Westerns as is.

spk_0 Definitely that one.

spk_0 But then at the opposite end of the scale, I'd also like to do much more recent films,

spk_0 you know, films just from the last few years that I've really put through and made an instant impact.

spk_0 Like, I mean, I'm sure we'll put up films from these decades,

spk_0 but I generally look at the 70s, 80s, 90s and think I'm kind of done with most of those.

spk_0 There's not many from those decades that I'd like to do now.

spk_0 It's right before or after.

spk_0 And I'm also like a big fan of the smaller films, you know,

spk_0 the ones which are much more kind of character based and dialogue based, not so much action.

spk_0 So something like Lady Bird to me would be a great choice.

spk_0 Yeah, great.

spk_0 To great film was critically clear and a thing.

spk_0 Greta Gohig's a really important director for our times.

spk_0 So Sean and one of the best actresses working today.

spk_0 But if I can after it would be the searches in Lady Bird.

spk_0 Yeah, I mean, there's quite a few in that.

spk_0 Oh, isn't that?

spk_0 I mean, like little Miss Sunshine, I can't be fantastic.

spk_0 Yeah, they're all.

spk_0 Yeah, yeah.

spk_0 Sideways.

spk_0 Yeah, sideways would be great.

spk_0

spk_0 Yeah, I mean, the only way that any of those films are going to win is if they're on a

spk_0 pole with similar films with some cells.

spk_0 The box programming.

spk_0 Yeah, yeah.

spk_0 Well, exactly.

spk_0 Yeah, which I think to be honest, I think we're going to end up doing because these films need to be covered.

spk_0 Yeah, the last four we put up with four black and white films, wasn't it?

spk_0 Yeah, right.

spk_0 We meant one.

spk_0 Yeah, exactly.

spk_0 Have to start doing that.

spk_0 Yeah, yeah.

spk_0 Teen Pauls, maybe that's the way they go.

spk_0 Mm-hmm.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Well, thank you very much for the question, Damien.

spk_0 Yes, thanks, mate.

spk_0 Thanks, Damien.

spk_0 Wonderful.

spk_0 Next on our list is a question from Andrew Hunter.

spk_0 Hi, Andrew.

spk_0 Hello, Andrew.

spk_0 Hi, Andrew.

spk_0 Good, I.

spk_0 Good, I, yes indeed.

spk_0 Good, I, yeah.

spk_0 Austria.

spk_0 Well, that.

spk_0 Andrew, if you couldn't already guess, Andrew.

spk_0 He's too used to be for Australia.

spk_0 Just because the question's really embarrassed, it wasn't anything to do with Andrew.

spk_0 Andrew says, greetings, ATRM from the Antipodes.

spk_0 Perocule question, what's your favourite and least favourite Australian film?

spk_0 Does Paul Hogan star in both of them?

spk_0 Cheers.

spk_0 Wow.

spk_0 Very specific.

spk_0 When I think of Australian cinema, I instantly think of Brian Brown and Mad Max.

spk_0 Yes, you do.

spk_0 Imagine if Brian Brown was Mad Max.

spk_0 Oh, no, I'd love that.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 But if you do think about it for a moment or two further,

spk_0 there's just been so many great Australian films.

spk_0 Happy, yeah.

spk_0 Walk about, wake and fry, crocodile don't dig.

spk_0 Strickly ballroom, talk to me, the dry, the proposition, animal kingdom.

spk_0 You could go on and on and on.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 The truth is I haven't seen a bad Australian film.

spk_0 Optineph.

spk_0 Right, OK.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 So I'm taking this opportunity to talk about two Australian horror films that I really like.

spk_0 OK.

spk_0 And neither of them star Paul Hogan on fortune.

spk_0 OK.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Why are the both both quick?

spk_0 And the first one is Wolf Creek to

spk_0 Newbie and it's not the AIDS Wolf Creek.

spk_0 Lovely.

spk_0 Yeah, a very nasty little horror movie written director by Greg McLean 2005.

spk_0 If you don't know it, it's about British backpacks who come across when they encounter

spk_0 the antithesis of Hogan's McDon Dey.

spk_0 John Jarrett's Mick Taylor, not that one, not the one from the storms.

spk_0 It's certainly not for the fear and harder than maybe hits a little too close

spk_0 to real life, considering when it was released.

spk_0 But it is relentless and chilling and will stay with you for days.

spk_0 The other one is a bit of a cheat because it has a US cast in the shape of Stacey Keach

spk_0 and the one and only Jamie Lee Curtis, ATRM favorite.

spk_0 Very nice.

spk_0 Well, look favorite.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Well, John just let him have it, man.

spk_0 I think it's everyone.

spk_0

spk_0 No, I guess we'll hold it good.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Good.

spk_0 The film is Road Games directed by Aussie native Richard Franklin.

spk_0 Nice.

spk_0 Keach and JLC Sparkle, but an unlikely relationship in the Desolate Australian Outback

spk_0 as they attract down a serial killer.

spk_0 It's a bit of a forgotten film now, not perfect, but it's a sleazy gem.

spk_0 Very nice.

spk_0 You feel like that kind of thing.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Just like me.

spk_0 Aussie cinema?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I'm sure that you look the first one that brings a mind.

spk_0 It was always Martin Maxx.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I think one of the most raw visceral pieces of filmmaking you could ever see.

spk_0 George Mill, I made it for about $12, I don't think.

spk_0 So I'm like that, yeah.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I love it.

spk_0 I'm the sequel, which goes absolutely crazy.

spk_0 But another one that we've not mentioned is picnic and hanging rock.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I knew of it, obviously, but I only watched it for the first time when we cover Master

spk_0 and Commander.

spk_0 Yeah, it's Peter Wierd, isn't it?

spk_0 Peter Wierd, isn't it?

spk_0 Peter Wierd, yeah, exactly.

spk_0 And I loved it.

spk_0 I mean, it's Donnie by Maxx, but it's a mystery.

spk_0 And I guess a lot of people haven't seen it.

spk_0 So a quick snopsies, I think, should get people in.

spk_0 Set in 1900, a girl's boarding school goes in the picnic to hanging rock, hence the name

spk_0 probably.

spk_0 But for the girls, go off exploring.

spk_0 Only one of them comes back and she's too traumatized to explain what happened.

spk_0 I mean, that's all pretty good, right?

spk_0 Yeah, yeah.

spk_0 It's a different level from the 60s, I think.

spk_0 So it has a great narrative, but it's so cinematic.

spk_0 It's got this like really dreamy surreal feel to it, which I really like.

spk_0 So if anyone's going to watch it, I think you showed Bar Warney at the end.

spk_0 It's my drive your mind, but it is brilliant.

spk_0 Yeah, it's got a very David lean look to it, doesn't it?

spk_0 Yeah, yeah.

spk_0 And least favorite Australian film, John, do you have one?

spk_0 No, I've not watched it.

spk_0 I want to be honest.

spk_0 There's nothing I think similar.

spk_0 I've not really seen anything else really in that I've thought.

spk_0 I don't like that very much.

spk_0 I see a toughest to watch was definitely the proposition, which was the first to

spk_0 punish.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 Christmas.

spk_0 I asked you to like you to watch it.

spk_0 Test of season.

spk_0 What's wrong with that?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Oh, no, it was good.

spk_0 Yeah, Christmas day withings.

spk_0 So yeah, yeah.

spk_0 Yeah, yeah.

spk_0 Australian films where you're at?

spk_0 Yeah, very similar.

spk_0 The obvious one was Mad Max, Fivre Ward, but I've mentioned that so many times.

spk_0 The thought was just to mention that again.

spk_0 And to kind of skip to the end again, I've not seen enough Australian films to think of

spk_0 a really bad one.

spk_0 One that I'll say I just liked.

spk_0 I did think about picnic at Hangard Rock, but the other one I'll go for is a film from

spk_0 2001 called The Dish.

spk_0 I think 2000.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 Very nice.

spk_0

spk_0 I mentioned this when we covered a pull or 13.

spk_0 I'm already fascinated by the whole era of NASA and the London on the moon.

spk_0 And this is a true story about a radar dish in Australia that I was pivotal to getting

spk_0 the signal from the moon and transmitting it around the rest of the world.

spk_0 And it's just in this really small farm town in Australia.

spk_0 And it was famous for that one thing.

spk_0 And it stars Sam Nale and it's just a proper heart warmer.

spk_0 It's very, very funny.

spk_0 It's a great story.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 The dish is one I want to mention.

spk_0 It's a really, really great.

spk_0 Beautiful.

spk_0 It is very good.

spk_0 And something you can't really go wrong with in the past.

spk_0 Oh, some needs brilliant.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 A dish recommend and the dish, which is very nice.

spk_0 There we are.

spk_0 It's a little bit moving.

spk_0 Mark the dish bottle.

spk_0 I'll take that.

spk_0 You're stacking up the nicknames as neat as possible.

spk_0 I kind of keep on.

spk_0 Good dish, too, mate.

spk_0 The butcher.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 We're just going around.

spk_0 The kitchen over really good.

spk_0 The blade is the butcher.

spk_0 The dish.

spk_0 The whisk.

spk_0 Mother whisk.

spk_0

spk_0 Westy Australian films.

spk_0 Yeah, love them.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 She was until this question that I started looking at.

spk_0 We're going, actually, I really love Australian cinema because it does have this fearlessness

spk_0 to it.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 This independence to it.

spk_0 There's like a big foot you.

spk_0 Do you know there's no big studios going out there and you need to pile this into it.

spk_0 One I've seen recently that I really enjoyed is the roar.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 If you've seen that on DiPias.

spk_0 Very, very good film.

spk_0 Really enjoyed that.

spk_0 And then going back to the ones that seemed before, I mean, I love Chopper.

spk_0 I think that's an incredible.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 Probably one of the best debuts of recent years for Andrew Dominic.

spk_0 I think that's an incredible film.

spk_0 Wagon Fright, I love.

spk_0 I thought that was really a big, big, tough watch, tough one.

spk_0

spk_0 Gallipoli is fantastic.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 That's really underrated war film.

spk_0 So it gets absolutely fantastic.

spk_0 And that ending of John's talk about endings that will drive you mad.

spk_0 That one will just complete you destroy it, but it's fantastic stuff.

spk_0 Yet, BMX Bandit.

spk_0 Which is probably one of the greatest lost really phones ever made.

spk_0 And I've got the DVD and it says the citizen came of BMX movies.

spk_0 Which is up from the review.

spk_0 I can't deny that that's absolute gospel truth because it is.

spk_0 You've got Kevin, isn't it?

spk_0 You can't get into me in that debut.

spk_0 It's fairly may fun.

spk_0 The kids absolutely love it.

spk_0 It's great fun.

spk_0 But when BMX used to be like really kind of cool.

spk_0 And it still is, I guess, but not in that way.

spk_0 Yeah, and I mean, try to think of ones that were bad, but not necessarily for the right reasons.

spk_0 I think they're just poorly constructed.

spk_0 I very quickly made and the one that's broke to mind was the one from 1970 with the Ned Kelly biopic with Mick Jagger.

spk_0 Oh, brilliant.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 And I just felt very rushed and very like, well, it's got Mick Jagger in it.

spk_0 You know what I mean? It's not freejack.

spk_0 Thank goodness.

spk_0 It's kind of on a par.

spk_0 It's the Australian freejack.

spk_0 And then you're too maybe beyond ThunderDome, but that's because you're comparing it to one of two.

spk_0 They're incredible.

spk_0 So you can't really go wrong with Australian cinema.

spk_0 I think there's some incredible, incredible films to check out.

spk_0 And if you're not savvy on it, then get on it because it's just constantly reward nothing.

spk_0 I turned around that one.

spk_0 So just turn 60's pop stuff.

spk_0 Everybody's all these Australian films.

spk_0 Exactly.

spk_0 Yeah, that's the problem.

spk_0 Was Rod Stewart in the proposition?

spk_0 When the South believe scene.

spk_0 So a lot of favourites, not many least favourites, and no Paul Hogan.

spk_0 No, I love Droughton Aldon, Dave.

spk_0 That's just too much.

spk_0 You love too, don't you?

spk_0 I love too.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 You're the best sequel ever made.

spk_0 Very specific question, Andrew, but a great one.

spk_0 Nonetheless.

spk_0 Yes, very, very good.

spk_0 Very good stuff.

spk_0 And next on the mic is Philip Beatty.

spk_0 I feel it.

spk_0 Philip says, what movie images or scenes are you constantly reminded of in everyday life?

spk_0 Philip says, some of my ones, if the moon is out during the day, I always think of the Death Star hanging over Scarif in Rogue One.

spk_0 If anyone ever says the whole time, I have to try hard not to respond with a bad impression of Sally Field.

spk_0 I've got a whole lot at the end of this.

spk_0 I have to be really good.

spk_0 And seeing a packet of juicy fruits, chewing gum always reminds me of Warnflue of the Coosness, of course.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 John, what about you?

spk_0 Yeah, I've got a couple.

spk_0 Whenever I'm driving and see someone doing a 3.2 and it always reminds me of awesome powers.

spk_0 And you're corridors.

spk_0 Yes, it's ridiculous.

spk_0 And when you're doing it yourself, you're like, awesome powers.

spk_0 Awesome powers.

spk_0 No, what are you talking about?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Just like four, three phones, isn't that?

spk_0 You know exactly what the toilet is?

spk_0 Yeah, it's great.

spk_0 Whenever I'm in Morrison's and see someone buying apples, I've always wanted to say to them, how would you like their apples?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 When they have, yeah, making glass in the Morrison's I go.

spk_0 Yeah, I was going to get back down here.

spk_0 And getting in a lift for years, I used to always think, imagine if like T1000 on daggathins

spk_0 thought, shoot them down through the ceiling.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0

spk_0 Over that one now, thankfully.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Thank goodness.

spk_0 Just through the door now.

spk_0 Is it not the roof?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Close the door quick.

spk_0 Over to you, Matt.

spk_0 Whenever I make a cup of tea, I'll circle the spoon around the rim like cutthin' caida and get out.

spk_0 No.

spk_0 Try and hypnotize yourself into the sunken place.

spk_0 Excellent.

spk_0 And the work too.

spk_0 We do one-chink, sink, do that.

spk_0 Because that if you're making a proof of someone.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I only do when it's only me now, obviously.

spk_0 Come round a mat.

spk_0 Do you want to cup a tea?

spk_0 Definitely not.

spk_0 Oh, no, really.

spk_0 Excellent.

spk_0 What about you, USD?

spk_0 Few.

spk_0 A few of you.

spk_0 And I wasn't, I didn't know how many until I started thinking about it once I read this question.

spk_0 And I'm like, oh God, I need to stop.

spk_0 But every time I get out the car, you know, when you put your foot down, you know that low angle at every, every film,

spk_0 where you say the shoe and then it comes up, make kind of like cranes up with the guy when you shut the door.

spk_0 I imagine that every single time I step out the car, put one foot down, wait for the camera to start going up,

spk_0 then I kind of just picture it in my head every single time.

spk_0 When I used to shoot weddings, used to have disposable cameras that used to give to people and used to go around.

spk_0 And they just take these shots to kind of throw away stuff.

spk_0 And every time I pressed a shutter on that and wound it on, was just shone of the dead.

spk_0 I used to be in the slaughter.

spk_0 Great.

spk_0 Every time I wind film on, it's just that really slow.

spk_0 And every day, I kind of get away from it.

spk_0 Just the noise of it, just brings home.

spk_0 A couple of things I say all the time is, this is a bummer man from Big Lebowski.

spk_0 This is a bummer, man.

spk_0 And it's like, it kind of takes the edge off some things.

spk_0 But people don't quite know what it is yet.

spk_0 And then it's like, I'm enjoying my coffee.

spk_0 I'm thinking about what I'm having.

spk_0 If I'm having a fight with someone, I'm seeing here, I'm enjoying my coffee.

spk_0 I'm doing that whole entire time.

spk_0 And then every single hotel corridor, I don't care how long it is, it's the shiner.

spk_0 No matter where I am in the world, it's just if it's a long hotel corridor, that is it.

spk_0 It's the shiner.

spk_0 I thought we were going to see an exception there.

spk_0 I thought it would be an exception.

spk_0 It's like upside down, it's gone.

spk_0 If it's a long, creepy corridor, no matter what it is, it's just like that's always smacked at the shiner for me.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 It's totally Zoom effect in your head.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Always.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Yeah. I mean, love this question because my ideas are filled with affectations from movies and TV shows.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Some of the ones that came to mind, whenever I make a sandwich, I always tap the top of the bread like a young Henry Hill and Goodfellas.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 For some reason, don't know why.

spk_0 Don't know why.

spk_0 Just do it.

spk_0 I always give a good sign to a hand dryer when it turns it on like Mr. Orange and Resort.

spk_0 Is that what dogs?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And a strange one, whenever anyone mentions an 80m, I always pause for a second and then say an 80m like Aton Shiger in no country.

spk_0 Oh, somebody don't know why it's in there.

spk_0 It's really weird.

spk_0 If you get confused, going, are they talking about us?

spk_0 Is it 80 or?

spk_0 Not 80.

spk_0 Lots of fun on that question, Philip.

spk_0 Very nice.

spk_0 Thank you.

spk_0 Yes. Thank you, Philip.

spk_0 Thank you.

spk_0 And next we have a question from Lou Pellegrino.

spk_0 Hi, Lou.

spk_0 Hello, Lou.

spk_0 So the greatest name of any 80m, Peter and ever.

spk_0 Yeah, this guy is.

spk_0 And you love this guy.

spk_0 Lou says, what is your favorite movie in which the main character does what you do for a living?

spk_0 Or something close to it when you aren't podcasting.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 He says, I'm a public school teacher in the US and I find that most movies about teachers are pretty bad,

spk_0 but I really enjoy who's used and children of Alessagod.

spk_0 Thanks for a great podcast.

spk_0 It's inspired me to watch a lot of movies I wouldn't have otherwise.

spk_0 It's an absolute pleasure, Lou.

spk_0 You're welcome.

spk_0 Yes, thank you, miss.

spk_0 Very kind word.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Matt, over to you.

spk_0 I've just got a very nice job.

spk_0 So this is a difficult question.

spk_0 It is, yeah.

spk_0 Well, involves watching a load TV.

spk_0 What do that with?

spk_0 Yeah, fair enough.

spk_0 Maybe the Truman Shore.

spk_0 Just the idea of watching that 24 hours, I think.

spk_0 Okay, lovely.

spk_0 Yeah, well, yeah.

spk_0 Like I say, it's a nice job.

spk_0 So it's not being represented accurately on film ever as far as I can tell.

spk_0 Well, there's a niche that you need to exploit.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Well, you know, we've got a question coming up about what film would we make?

spk_0 I'm going to make a film about my job.

spk_0 Brilliant.

spk_0 Excellent.

spk_0 Boom's on seed for that one.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0

spk_0 Rivid and stuff like that.

spk_0 See what the video drum.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 What about you, Westy, your job?

spk_0 Well, I'm a photographer.

spk_0 There was quite a few of you to choose from.

spk_0 And I like to keep myself to myself.

spk_0 So I thought of one hour photo.

spk_0 And this kind of type of list.

spk_0 And I really enjoyed Civil War because that's what I think I do.

spk_0 You know what I mean?

spk_0 So I'd say what your parents think you do.

spk_0 What you think you do is kind of civil war.

spk_0 Yeah, the White House is falling and I would shoot film.

spk_0 Like that's not going to happen.

spk_0 Is it not a million years?

spk_0 And every time I'm editing because there is an element of retouch.

spk_0 There is an element of post process and that you have to go into.

spk_0 It would normally be in a dark room.

spk_0 Now everything is digital as the nor has been for years.

spk_0 But every time I try to enhance something or I take something out.

spk_0 Or as I can take a light switch out the background or something.

spk_0 I always zoom into it.

spk_0 And every single time I just say enhance 224 to 176.

spk_0 It's a massive murder to Blade Runner.

spk_0 Every time I zoom into something and do that in my head or I say it out loud.

spk_0 And some people sat next to me and was going, what did you say?

spk_0 I was like, doesn't matter.

spk_0 It's a matter of hands to 24176 every single time.

spk_0 So yeah, that reminds us of that.

spk_0 Great.

spk_0 The one that came to my mind was Scott says he's after hours.

spk_0 Griffin Dunn players Paul Hacker did a day there at Entry Clerk.

spk_0 Now this isn't what I'd do for a living.

spk_0 But I've certainly done jobs as mundane as this in my time.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Paul's life mirrors his job as Dull and Bore.

spk_0 And just another face in the crowd.

spk_0 No action, no excitement.

spk_0 And then he goes on the wildest of rides downtown New York.

spk_0 Phil with lots of weird, sexy and threatening situations.

spk_0 And all he wants to do is get back to his boring world or keep on getting thwarted.

spk_0 And there were many times doing a similar job that I wish I could have been whisked away

spk_0 to downtown New York for a few sexy rides.

spk_0 It's kind.

spk_0 We have a great way to put it.

spk_0 Yeah, well, I mentioned before, but I worked in the creative digital industry for a few years.

spk_0 So I think the social network is a pretty obvious one.

spk_0 Less lawsuits and deposition from me, thankfully, but of course late nightcording sessions and building something is a team.

spk_0 That's all very familiar.

spk_0 And I've worked with a couple of pretentious douchebags in fuck you flip flops as well.

spk_0 I think you have yet.

spk_0 That's just a streak.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I was being a designer and the film that I didn't love but thought nailed parts of that kind of design industry experience was a devil wears prada.

spk_0 Yeah, yeah, yeah, fashion design.

spk_0 But yeah, impossible deadlines, a crazy boss who's never happy getting feedback, which makes no sense.

spk_0 And people who have no eye for like design or anything, thinking that they're experts all that stuff really rings true.

spk_0 And also it's not a film, but madmen.

spk_0 I love this.

spk_0 I know, now we're just going to bring pictures to the clients.

spk_0 Yeah, absolutely brilliant.

spk_0 Yeah, excellent.

spk_0 Thank you very much for the question, though.

spk_0 Yes, thank you, Luke.

spk_0 Thanks a lot, Luke.

spk_0 Our next question comes from Catherine Price.

spk_0 Hi, Catherine.

spk_0 Hello, Catherine.

spk_0 Catherine says, what two movies would you say you've seen the most times in your life?

spk_0 Not necessarily favorite movies, but the two movies you've rewatched the most.

spk_0 You can exclude Christmas movies if you want.

spk_0 Westie will be very happy to hear that.

spk_0 I'm over the moon for that.

spk_0 Thank you, Catherine, because none of them would be in contention anyway.

spk_0 Let's be honest.

spk_0 What would be Westie?

spk_0 There's a few that are kind of tied, but I've had a pick one that I just, yeah, that kind of pipped it.

spk_0 Highlander.

spk_0 Brilliant.

spk_0 Probably watched that more than any other film.

spk_0 Brilliant.

spk_0 Because it was one of the very first films I got in VHS.

spk_0 And I just kept watching it and just how it works.

spk_0 That's how it works.

spk_0 I was like, if I like my film, nobody else has seen it.

spk_0 Nobody else knew what it was.

spk_0 My mom was annoyed with me, dad, because he got us in for Christmas and said,

spk_0 you know, they have to kill that.

spk_0 I've cut the heads off.

spk_0 So it felt like I was kind of knowing anyway.

spk_0 So I just watched it, watched it, watched it.

spk_0 And I love it.

spk_0 I still absolutely adore that film.

spk_0 And from the age of about 17 onwards, I think every single month, I watch the shining.

spk_0 So it'll be the shining for me to just constantly.

spk_0 If it's not on physically, it's playing in my head somewhere.

spk_0 So yeah, then two films for me.

spk_0 In Hotel Room corridor.

spk_0 That's why I keep thinking about it.

spk_0 I mean, all the answers could probably relate to the shining if I'm on the screen.

spk_0

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Yeah, I've seen that countless times.

spk_0 I know what inside out.

spk_0 Yeah, well, I've mentioned one of them already.

spk_0 It's midnight run.

spk_0 The film I've seen hands down more than any other.

spk_0 Well, well.

spk_0 Two hours of the most beautiful character right in situations, comedy action and

spk_0 locations to die for all of them.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 The other one I think is the burbs.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I saw it when it first came out late eighties.

spk_0 I've watched it regularly since that's well over 35 years of rewatchers.

spk_0 I really wouldn't be surprised if it's at least once a year on average.

spk_0 Mm-hmm.

spk_0 Never gets old.

spk_0 Never gets tired.

spk_0 I like the wonderful thing.

spk_0 I do like to sometimes look out the window, spend some of my days looking out at my

spk_0 nib is just hoping that one of them is the club X.

spk_0 Just a little, just a little day of dream to myself.

spk_0 This is coming out here in the garden.

spk_0 I'm just trying to get some goddamn sleep.

spk_0 Smoked fuser guys, outside.

spk_0 Outside, obviously.

spk_0 Yeah, outside, obviously.

spk_0 All those are beauties.

spk_0 You got to mix them in with those.

spk_0 And of the you, John, most watched.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Well, there's loads I've seen many times.

spk_0 Obviously the original Indiana Jones and Star Wars trilogy from when I was a kid.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 As a teenager, I had the Maid Wixon repeat for a good while.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Brilliant.

spk_0 Not revolutions, obviously.

spk_0 No, no.

spk_0 I'll leave this to the US.

spk_0 No better than that.

spk_0 But Catherine asked for two.

spk_0 And this term won't say because the only film is I remember watching as an adult.

spk_0 And as soon as they were finished, put the atmosphere back on again.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 So one's back to the future.

spk_0 Yeah, it is.

spk_0 Yeah, okay.

spk_0 Pretty much perfect.

spk_0 I think.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And the other is Amadeus, which is obviously the whole weird choice.

spk_0 Three hours of classical music and F. Marie Abraham being furious.

spk_0 But get those on back to back.

spk_0 And you've got films about one of history's biggest musical geniuses.

spk_0 And then Mozart.

spk_0 So I agree.

spk_0 A combo.

spk_0 We finally put Amadeus and I'm still going on about it as if we haven't.

spk_0 I know.

spk_0 I thought we would have put that in the bed.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 No, no.

spk_0 No, we'll bring that work in there.

spk_0 That can replace it.

spk_0 That's right.

spk_0 Ed, what about you, maths?

spk_0 You're most watched.

spk_0 Well, the verbs would be one for me as well because I'm raised.

spk_0 Like you, I watch when it came out.

spk_0 I'll just remember it to me.

spk_0 It's a summer holiday film.

spk_0 So I remember it's a kid summer holidays.

spk_0 I literally would rent it to take it back and rent it again.

spk_0 So good watching to our three more times during the week.

spk_0 And I would do that for about three or four summers.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 As a kid.

spk_0 Obviously group a little bit.

spk_0 But even now it's one of those added to early rotation every summer.

spk_0 Of course, big.

spk_0 And a lot of time the verbs goes on.

spk_0 So that would definitely be up there.

spk_0 And the other one would probably be the thing to serenity pivotal film for me.

spk_0 One where I really like played it with me.

spk_0 Pounds like will you buy it for us?

spk_0 Like it's not going to give us nightmares.

spk_0 It's just brilliant.

spk_0 And I remember for some reason it was all something I would watch last thing

spk_0 on a Sunday before going back to school on the Monday.

spk_0 It would just put us in the right frame of mind to get it.

spk_0 The right frame of mind.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 But it's got to be better than the bleakness of this end.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 This Sunday is scary.

spk_0 The Sunday news.

spk_0

spk_0 You're warning at the school on the Monday with that massive hat on.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 JNB straight down the neck.

spk_0 Nobody trusts anybody anymore.

spk_0 I'm going to roll by each time.

spk_0 And it's Monday morning.

spk_0 Great.

spk_0 Thank you very much, Catherine.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Thank you, Catherine.

spk_0 Thanks a lot, Catherine.

spk_0 Now, our next question is from Tim Bruce Lair.

spk_0 Hi, Tim.

spk_0 Hello, Tim.

spk_0 Tim, great question.

spk_0 In all of world history, who would you pick as the fifth member of A.T.R.M. to talk

spk_0 movies with on your show?

spk_0 Wow.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 All of world history.

spk_0 Wow.

spk_0 A lot of question, Tim.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 You know, it'd have to be somebody we all get along with.

spk_0 Who would get our sense of humor, who would add a different dimension.

spk_0 I had a number of content as to the crown.

spk_0 Gandhi or Nelson Mandela, you know, it's a tough choice.

spk_0 Of course.

spk_0 Yeah, but I'm keeping it fairly modern.

spk_0 Well, very modern, actually.

spk_0 I'm going with Natasha Leone.

spk_0 I've mentioned mine over in the past.

spk_0 She's in Russian dollopography.

spk_0 It's orange is the new black history.

spk_0 Daughters.

spk_0 Lord's more.

spk_0 She I just think she would be a perfect fit.

spk_0 And this is a shout out if she's interested.

spk_0 Because she would get all the pop culture references.

spk_0 She'll add a Lord of her own.

spk_0 She's incredibly funny, smart, articulate, magnetic, engage in.

spk_0 It's an orbiter.

spk_0 Very nice.

spk_0 It's not her then Eric Morgan.

spk_0 If she's not available.

spk_0 Oh, lovely.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Very nice.

spk_0 Funny bonds.

spk_0 Fifth member of the 80 hour on crew.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I mean, the first name that spring the mind, probably because we're talking about

spk_0 Michelle Muttra's Roger, are you but Roger the director?

spk_0 Oh, lovely.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Nice.

spk_0 Very, very, very big, big Rod's think.

spk_0 Greg asked for real.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 If you were still with us, it surely have a podcast.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Of course, of course, of course.

spk_0 Of course, of course.

spk_0 Thank God he's not.

spk_0 We'd be done for.

spk_0 In terms of filmmaking, I'd love to pick the brain to Billy Wilder.

spk_0 Great one.

spk_0 Nice.

spk_0

spk_0 I know.

spk_0 I'm obviously an stunnedy Kubrick as well.

spk_0 Get him to explain himself once and for all.

spk_0 But I'm going with a very left field choice in Dorothy Parker.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 So she was this legendary writer and critic from the 1920s onwards.

spk_0 I think.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And then you, you know, she was a screenwriter as well.

spk_0 And she won the Hollywood blacklist in the 50s.

spk_0 Mm-hmm.

spk_0 But she's so great.

spk_0 If you've not read her writing, I'd highly recommend it.

spk_0 She's hilarious.

spk_0 I never pulled any punches when right.

spk_0 You know, Hollywood fighting.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0

spk_0 Which is basically more of a bloodlisted.

spk_0 So she's fitting in nicely.

spk_0 I reckon she won 100% have a podcast as well.

spk_0 Have you ever still around the day?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Definitely be listening to it.

spk_0 So brilliant.

spk_0 Either Parker or Ebert together at last.

spk_0 Nice.

spk_0 Excellent.

spk_0 On a similar vein to Ebert really, but I'd have a big buzz Norman on.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 I love it.

spk_0 I mean, somehow we've never mentioned him like his opinions on films.

spk_0 No.

spk_0 But we really should have, because for listeners outside the UK for a while,

spk_0 he was like the preeminent British film critic.

spk_0 It was what's Barry Norman think for you.

spk_0 You know, film 92, 93, whatever the score of the year.

spk_0 It was like a staple for me.

spk_0 It was.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 I came out.

spk_0 I wanted to know what does Barry Norman think of it.

spk_0 He was on the deal.

spk_0 So obviously sadly no longer with us.

spk_0 But if he was, I'd love to get Barry Norman on.

spk_0 There was a time I would say all of the night, these days,

spk_0 like if he used to talk about films, he'd be like,

spk_0 are you Barry Norman?

spk_0

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And that was an insult apparently.

spk_0

spk_0 I'm not talking about films.

spk_0

spk_0 Westie, 5th member of the 80 RM group.

spk_0 Gang is gone.

spk_0 No, I would go.

spk_0 I mean, I have to go direct as I kind of looked further.

spk_0 But I don't quite know where they would, where other people would sit.

spk_0 Hitchcock, I would love to have involved.

spk_0 He'd have the answer to everything, but he would just have so much intellect

spk_0 in their thoughts.

spk_0 Just a bit of massive cigar in there.

spk_0 Just a plume of smoke.

spk_0 It was incredible on the video.

spk_0 And the score says he, I mean, he's going better.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Living now knows more about film.

spk_0

spk_0 And he's just been a cyclopedia and he's really engaged and really funny.

spk_0 And I think you would like literally know everything.

spk_0 But at the same time, be really interested.

spk_0 Know what everyone else has thought to wear on things.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And he's just a very accessible guy.

spk_0 And finally, just selfishly, I don't know how well it would do,

spk_0 but just to kind of get somebody else's view on visuals and how they've changed

spk_0 and how important that is and how it looks now.

spk_0 I would write back at someone like Edward Hopper and just say like,

spk_0 what do you think of this?

spk_0 Oh, really?

spk_0 I'd get Caravaggio and then show them all the petition.

spk_0 Just be like, I'd get them show them Godfather.

spk_0 Be like, look at that.

spk_0 I'd be like, wow, it's this move and imagery.

spk_0 It just got you in me.

spk_0 Yeah, exactly.

spk_0 The show is the light and dark.

spk_0 And just I would just, you know, even just one episode just to go with

spk_0 like cinematography with a period of time.

spk_0 Of course, Caravaggio doesn't it?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Just something like that will be incredibly impressive.

spk_0 I can't give a definitive answer apart from Martin's course is.

spk_0 So that's my show.

spk_0 Brilliant.

spk_0 Good one.

spk_0 Marty.

spk_0 Yeah, four great choices.

spk_0 And thank you, Tim.

spk_0 Lovely stuff.

spk_0 Yes, Tim.

spk_0 Thanks, Tim.

spk_0 Alpinultma question comes from Kim Jackson.

spk_0 Hello, Kim.

spk_0 How you Kim?

spk_0 Kim says, has your amazing ATRM journey unfolded the way you thought

spk_0 when you recorded your first podcast?

spk_0 What outlandish dreams do you have for the future?

spk_0 Can you tell us about the book?

spk_0 Thanks for inviting us to be part of the ATRM family.

spk_0 I'll tell you what, beautiful words.

spk_0 Thanks for being part of it, Kim.

spk_0 Thanks, Kim.

spk_0 Thanks a lot, yeah.

spk_0 I'll be there from the start.

spk_0 Yes, indeed.

spk_0 John, do you want to take that first?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I mean, has that unfolded?

spk_0 How I thought I would say not really?

spk_0 Because I mean, what we do is still such a young thing, like digital content creation,

spk_0 it's still evolving all the time.

spk_0 So it's really hard to know where it will be from kind of one year to the next.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 You can have an educated guess.

spk_0 But also you've got to roll with it.

spk_0 Is a great thing.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 One sign.

spk_0 I've just gone full time with the ATRM I would six weeks ago, which is exciting and terrifying

spk_0 at the same time.

spk_0 So looking forward to seeing where we can go in the coming months.

spk_0 And as far outlandish dreams, I mean, I'd love to have an ATRM office, a full time team

spk_0 of like great people helping us out on various things, making stuff that we love.

spk_0 Not sure if it's possible, but we're going to try.

spk_0 So I guess time will tell.

spk_0 We're on the book.

spk_0 Yes, coming along.

spk_0 Came thanks.

spk_0 We have to submit the manuscript next month, another month after November to our publisher.

spk_0 And the publisher is like 2026.

spk_0 So though that's not confirmed and takes a while to go through all the editing processes and stuff.

spk_0 So watch this space.

spk_0 Please.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Exciting stuff.

spk_0 We'll keep you updated.

spk_0 Your ATRM journey?

spk_0 I'm similar to John.

spk_0 No.

spk_0 I didn't think it would be anything like it has been like, no, no.

spk_0 No.

spk_0 You know, when I first jumped on to do that, Ryan can cue big.

spk_0 I thought, oh, this will be a laugh.

spk_0 And it might be one.

spk_0 You were wrong.

spk_0 I'm not like, yeah, I want to.

spk_0 Like, see if I was going to be one and don't know in a long haul.

spk_0 Trapped.

spk_0 Yeah, Trapped forever now.

spk_0 I just think of some of the mental thing, not necessarily me that's done that, but some of the crazy things that happened with us, like if he'd said,

spk_0 we'll do a podcast with Kurt Astagas, talked about his favourite movies.

spk_0 Well, no, that's not going to happen, obviously.

spk_0 What was our each out was.

spk_0 Some of the interactions with hard, do you remember the kind of mild panic we all had when we put up the hot fuzz tweet thread in Ed Graffs on a fact checkered one by one.

spk_0

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Ed Graffs actually fact checkers.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 This is all right.

spk_0 If you say it went well, you said it was 98.5% correct.

spk_0 So I'll take that.

spk_0 I think he also said while at the truth get in the way of a good story, which I love that quote.

spk_0 Exactly.

spk_0 That's great.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 So if you said that to me at the side, I said, no, that's you.

spk_0 You can't happen.

spk_0 That's just really outlandish.

spk_0 So yeah, it's just been constantly surprising.

spk_0 And I imagine there'll be many more surprises still to come.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I mean, the direct is I've been in touch.

spk_0 Christopher McCory got in touch.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Yeah, I miss this year where you love what we did.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 It's very nice.

spk_0 Popular.

spk_0 Popular in more ways than what?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Let's look.

spk_0 It's lovely.

spk_0 What about you?

spk_0

spk_0 I mean, yeah, I don't really tend to stop to reflect much, because I think we're just, we're

spk_0 going to add a pace where it's just, it's just very enjoyable.

spk_0 And there's always something to talk about.

spk_0 There's always something new coming up.

spk_0 So we don't really get the chance to sit and go, wasn't that lovely?

spk_0 Because we're writing them.

spk_0 I love it.

spk_0 So it's just, you know, it's, it's part of the journey and it keeps going.

spk_0 I mean, it's gotten a lot more streamlined than it has.

spk_0 I think it's gotten a lot more professional.

spk_0 I think we've trimmed a lot of the fat off from where we've come from.

spk_0 But I think the beautiful thing is that you can see where we've come from.

spk_0 Maybe sound repair, you can go back to them earlier episodes and you can kind of see how we've

spk_0 actually shaped the episodes and everything that we're putting it.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 I think it's a real commitment from everybody and a real commitment to our friendship as well that we're still here doing it and still, you know,

spk_0 entertain by each other, which is really nice and really kind.

spk_0 But I think it works because we've all got the roles and we all have respect for each other's roles and respect for each other.

spk_0 And I think we'll bring something new to the party, even when it's a film that we've all spoke about

spk_0 400 times, you know, we'll get a focus on it and say like, well, you know, we're talking about

spk_0 RoboCop, we'll talk about Lord of the Rings again.

spk_0 It's like, yeah, but we're really going to talk about it this time.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 You know, so there's different elements of it.

spk_0 But yeah, I mean, it's just such an enjoyable ride.

spk_0 You know, I'm not looking at the second drop of the rollercoaster because I'm still on it.

spk_0 So I'm just having a good time with my hands in the air to be perfectly honest with you.

spk_0 I don't remember Q1 for the ride.

spk_0 I just remember being on it and it's good and I'm enjoying it and we all are.

spk_0 So on what, not what are you?

spk_0 Two rights.

spk_0 Absolutely.

spk_0 We were talking about Lord of the Rings the episode and that before when we, I'm going

spk_0 way for that.

spk_0 It's going to be hilarious, I reckon.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Absolutely epic.

spk_0 So one of the things where you just, there's lots of things that I'm looking forward to talking about where, you know, if we're sitting in the

spk_0 pulpit, we wouldn't actually get to it and I'd come home and be like, oh, shit, I should have mentioned that.

spk_0 Where is this?

spk_0 We're getting a chance to write it all down to guess we're talking about it all.

spk_0 We're no, we're fitted all in.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 So it's nice to have the structure to it.

spk_0 We're put at the same time.

spk_0 Have that relaxed vibe.

spk_0 We're going to bring what we need to bring to it.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Absolutely.

spk_0 Stirring a lot of unique elements into the pot.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And it works.

spk_0 It certainly does.

spk_0 And when John Westy and I went to see his golden messenger, live in Leeds, I didn't expect a slightly drunken conversation to have morphed into what we've created.

spk_0 I think it's a shop or a pizza restaurant, sorry.

spk_0 Yeah, that's right.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Incredible.

spk_0 Went back and recorded aliens on the phone.

spk_0 We didn't have any minute of aliens.

spk_0 We talked about aliens with no, we talked to them and I must have that somewhere and I don't know where it is.

spk_0 No, we don't have it.

spk_0 It's somewhere.

spk_0 We'll have it somewhere, but I mean, never hear it.

spk_0 Non-sensical, absolutely garbage.

spk_0 No, I want to hear that.

spk_0 It was a good idea and I think me and Luke drove back because John was living in Leeds at the time.

spk_0 We thought, well, listen to it in the car on the way back.

spk_0 I'm actually, you know what?

spk_0 This isn't bad, you know?

spk_0

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 But I think I was still drunk.

spk_0 You weren't because you were driving.

spk_0 I think I went a little bit crazy into the early hours.

spk_0 So I was like, this is great.

spk_0 And you're like, well, you know, some of it's all right.

spk_0 How's your doing now?

spk_0 I'm not supposed to be a show like that.

spk_0 That's amazing.

spk_0 Like, Westy, let's just, you know, yeah.

spk_0 Well, it's done now.

spk_0 It's not for me to be refined.

spk_0 That's fine.

spk_0 Yeah, that won't make the end.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I love you three just to walk around every day with this and just be like, don't you say?

spk_0

spk_0 Just sniff it out.

spk_0 Just chewing the fun of all the bullshit as I go through.

spk_0 That would be perfect.

spk_0 Live editing.

spk_0 I don't think we expected too much from those first few episodes.

spk_0 And we didn't get lords, but considering we were absolute nobody's, I think we did very well.

spk_0 And we've grown well beyond our expectations since that open and day.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And what I will say is that, yeah, we've created this, of course, but one of the things that makes us who we are is our listeners.

spk_0 The engagement we get from you guys, the wonderful words we get, particularly from our incredible Patreon community as well.

spk_0 So again, thank you.

spk_0 Future plans, I mean, you know, skies the limit for us, I think we're not just limited to podcasting all of that is our first love.

spk_0 I think my ultimate goal would be movie producing.

spk_0 That would be now with the what?

spk_0 Hey, you know, I'm going to hear a few sniggers in the back there, but you watch us go.

spk_0 Let's do it.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 So yes, a little snapshot of the future past and present there Kim.

spk_0 Very nice.

spk_0 Thank you for the question.

spk_0 Thanks, Kim.

spk_0 And our final question comes from Ryan Chippor, another long time listener.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 Ryan, a big one, he said, I'd be interested to hear what film each of you would make.

spk_0 What's the plot?

spk_0 What's the title of the film?

spk_0 Who's direct and who's starring?

spk_0 You've got an unlimited budget from the studio.

spk_0 In brackets, Westy will probably include a DP as well.

spk_0 You're absolutely right, Ryan.

spk_0 Correct.

spk_0 But Matt, it's over to you first.

spk_0 What's your magnum opus?

spk_0 There's a Stephen King novel called The Dark Half and it did make a version of it.

spk_0 I think early 90s, but it's pretty bad.

spk_0 If anyone has read a bit, it's about obviously because it's Stephen King.

spk_0 It's about a writer who has like issues, but he's created a pseudonym to write some other

spk_0 more successful novels, but he kills the pseudonym off.

spk_0 And he does a fake burial for it.

spk_0 But the pseudonym character actually comes to life and so it's going on a rampage, tries to get the original off and tries to take all his life.

spk_0 Like King Kill and Batman.

spk_0 Yes, that's exactly what it is.

spk_0 It's King Kill and off back then, but back comes back for revenge.

spk_0 It's really underrated novel.

spk_0 And I think it would do really well as a film if someone could do it just to so I would make that.

spk_0 I would have Rose Glass direct to Bigger.

spk_0 She may have seen more.

spk_0 So she's got horror trolling life.

spk_0

spk_0 And then she made love like splitting.

spk_0 So she had the ability to go from a very provincial British horror to this American film.

spk_0 So she could do the American aspect of the justice.

spk_0 I would have Oscar Isaac is the author.

spk_0 And then as a kind of sinister pseudonym come to life Tom Hardy.

spk_0 Right?

spk_0 Oh, wonderful stuff.

spk_0 Excellent.

spk_0 I know, God.

spk_0 What about you, Westy?

spk_0 Here it comes.

spk_0 The whatever one's waiting for.

spk_0 Well, I've already been written.

spk_0 It's fine.

spk_0 I've had this in remind for a while, you know, from the day day dot really.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Okay, it's Stanley Kubrick's Western.

spk_0 Oh, yes.

spk_0 Because Kubrick is made a perfect film and every genre I think and never got to make a Western.

spk_0 So that's your first pitch.

spk_0 This is Stanley Kubrick's Western.

spk_0 Obviously he's not around anywhere to direct this.

spk_0 So it's called a town called redemption.

spk_0 Brilliant.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 So there's a retired hired gun settles down.

spk_0 So I think like kind of unforgiven territory.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 But this guy is played by Daniel Deilois.

spk_0 Of course it is.

spk_0 I mean that four big chops settles down.

spk_0 Get some land.

spk_0 Only to find the residents of the closest town and not what they've seen.

spk_0 Because you go into town it gets applies.

spk_0 Everything's just a bit weird.

spk_0 So.

spk_0 Nice.

spk_0 Direct by Scorsese.

spk_0 Lovely.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 So we've got a little bit of pull.

spk_0 Not Kubrick.

spk_0 Although he's in Kubrick's Western.

spk_0 Kubrick's dead.

spk_0 This is actually going to happen.

spk_0 Oh, right.

spk_0 Sure.

spk_0 Like if Kubrick was going to direct the Western.

spk_0 It's shot like Kubrick would shoot.

spk_0 Is it like AI?

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Is it like AI in the hands of Spielberg.

spk_0 This is in the hands of Scorsese.

spk_0 That kind of deal.

spk_0 That kind of thing.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 You know, I'm annual Lebesque.

spk_0 He's going to shoot it.

spk_0 Or high fan high tome.

spk_0 Whoever's whoever's available.

spk_0 So it's going to look fantastic.

spk_0 Whoever's available.

spk_0 It's your fantasy.

spk_0 You can choose over your.

spk_0 Oh, Lebesque then.

spk_0 So he's going to shoot.

spk_0 It's going to look fantastic stuff.

spk_0 Towncore redemption.

spk_0 Unlimited budget.

spk_0 Lovely.

spk_0 So.

spk_0 They're not what the scene in the town.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 But.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 He'll go.

spk_0 He has the twist.

spk_0 Vampires.

spk_0 Brilliant.

spk_0 But.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Moonlight kills them.

spk_0 Not sunlight.

spk_0 We're kind of a reverse vampire.

spk_0

spk_0 It's the mythology I love it.

spk_0 Exactly.

spk_0 So a mess with them.

spk_0 So the only thing that can kill them is silver.

spk_0 So he finds a silver bullet.

spk_0 Now, down your day, Lewis's character has built his homestead.

spk_0 And he finds a silver mine underneath it.

spk_0 So he's the only one who can take these fuckers out.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 So it's kind of quick in the dead kind of thing.

spk_0 Where there's this whole kind of quick draw thing where they always win.

spk_0 And I'm working on it.

spk_0 I'm working on it.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 So Lewis is in there.

spk_0 Anthony Hopkins plays his neighbor.

spk_0 That's going to be.

spk_0 But he tells him the story of these reverse vampires.

spk_0 And he's like, what you're talking about, then goes into the finds out.

spk_0 And the bad guys Al Pacino plays the oldest one who's like, you know,

spk_0 crystal old vampire dude and Gary Oldman's in there with him.

spk_0 Brilliant.

spk_0 So that's the idea of the build the squad around that.

spk_0 That's a town called Redemption.

spk_0 It's going to be good.

spk_0 Reverse vampires.

spk_0 I love it.

spk_0 Lovely.

spk_0 Excellent.

spk_0 Oh, brilliant.

spk_0 Of course.

spk_0 All in spanish.

spk_0 It's on the Mexican border.

spk_0 Yellow tiles.

spk_0 She will.

spk_0 You've got to end with Hopkins seeing all you think about Redemption,

spk_0 all the damn vampires.

spk_0 Brilliant.

spk_0 Maybe.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I'll put that in the first draft.

spk_0 I'll see.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 You might eat someone's liver.

spk_0 We'll start.

spk_0

spk_0 Well, I've always had in mind a sweeping crime epic set in New York.

spk_0 I mean, obviously, obviously about the eighties crack epidemic that hit the shores,

spk_0 covering all the five burrows from the decaying Bronx to the upper five wall street.

spk_0 It's cultural.

spk_0 The societal impact.

spk_0 Looking at all walks of life.

spk_0 I genuinely do think that would be a great story.

spk_0 I think it's an untapped narrative.

spk_0 The only thing that comes close to it is New Jack City.

spk_0 But this would blow Van Peoples out of the water.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Of course.

spk_0 I'm having Spike Lee in the director's chair.

spk_0 And the film is just going to be stuffed with all my favorites character actors.

spk_0 So it's going to have John Lengwiz Amod, Louise Guzman, Keith David, Michael Imperioli,

spk_0 Bobby Kanavali, we'll even A.I. Dennis Verena in there as a Toothnose cop.

spk_0 Love it.

spk_0 Get it all in there.

spk_0 Love it.

spk_0 And we're calling it solid rock.

spk_0 Oh, that's bad.

spk_0 There it is.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And that's on wax now.

spk_0 It's just in case anybody steals the idea.

spk_0 Our episode of Time Stamp.

spk_0 So if solid rock comes out in three years time, I'll be furious.

spk_0 That's a doubtful.

spk_0 That's why it's your own productions, obviously.

spk_0 Yeah, there you go.

spk_0 Lovely.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And John, you're going to bring up the rear.

spk_0 Bring it home.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Well, this kind of goes butterwashed that earlier when I was younger.

spk_0 I loved writing stories like we're roll loads as a kid.

spk_0 And then later on, I actually wrote a couple of pretty detailed treatments that will flesh out enough.

spk_0 That could have been turned into screenplays if I'd been so.

spk_0 Oh, yes.

spk_0 Happy to bore you with what the main one was about.

spk_0 If you'd like.

spk_0 Go for it.

spk_0 Everybody's bated breath.

spk_0 So I describe it as a bit like Blade Runner, a bit like Escape from New York.

spk_0 Brilliant.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Although probably as good as Escape from LA.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Don't put yourself down.

spk_0 Don't stop what you bitch on a night.

spk_0 Some people like that.

spk_0 It was called where city falls.

spk_0 So in dystopian future, obviously, where the US government has created all these manmade islands off the coast to combat over population.

spk_0 And the main in the biggest island has turned into very much the rich on one part of the island.

spk_0 They're not rich on the other.

spk_0 So it was an action adventure thing set on that one island.

spk_0 Massive.

spk_0 It would have cost $400 million to me.

spk_0 But Christopher Nolan's style action, but with big themes about like society and class capitalism identity, you know, like all the light stuff that's used.

spk_0 You would like to.

spk_0 I was a money on it.

spk_0 So yeah, I reckon $40 million to me, it gets probably 300 million to market it because no one's heard of it or me.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 From the right room brought you nothing.

spk_0 So yeah, I'll be sticking to the podcast, I think, but that was all fleshed out into an entire story end to end.

spk_0 Nice.

spk_0 Very good series for Netflix.

spk_0 Yeah, we could work as a series.

spk_0 Yeah, in terms of who was going to do it, I was hard when I was writing it.

spk_0 I had a Ryan Gosling in my mind as the lead.

spk_0 Really?

spk_0 I remember.

spk_0 And directing it.

spk_0 Westy, obviously.

spk_0 Oh, there you go.

spk_0 I mean, I might be going to the sound call redemption, but we'll see what we've got.

spk_0 Blown as out.

spk_0 Well, I'm going to have to say I might be busy.

spk_0 I might be doing.

spk_0 I'll give you a call.

spk_0 I'm going to give you a call.

spk_0 Good class, call whatever it's called.

spk_0 Sorry, mate.

spk_0 I've got a lot on.

spk_0 Loots on.

spk_0 I'm not doing any massive Netflix series.

spk_0 Wonderful stuff.

spk_0 Well, thank you very much for the question, Ryan.

spk_0 Our final question.

spk_0 Yes, thank you.

spk_0 It was excellent.
