we induct the TV show last year that
[TS]
◼

that was one of these choices that was
[TS]
◼

it was perfectly valid and it's my fault
[TS]
◼

for calling it the whole holiday movie

►
volt includes television that's just how
[TS]
◼
►
it is it's called the holiday movie

in Miracle on thirty-fourth street so
[TS]
◼
►
you can you can learn all about the
[TS]
◼
►
holiday movie evolved last year that's
[TS]
◼
►
incomparable number 71 71 look it up
[TS]
◼
►
people and and that brings us to today
[TS]
◼
►
where we have new selections for the
[TS]
◼
►
holiday movie evolved and I'm wondering
[TS]
◼
►
who would like to go first and tell us
[TS]
◼
►
what thing that they love that they want
[TS]
◼
►
to permanently Preserve in are very
[TS]
◼
►
high-quality fault that we ordered on
[TS]
◼
►
the Internet is this like do this by the
[TS]
◼
►
same people who made the disney vault or
[TS]
◼
►
we could not afford that
[TS]
◼
►
unfortunately the pole vault actually so
[TS]
◼
►
it's really not really awkward it's the
[TS]
◼
►
people maybe the Keitel gold records
[TS]
◼
►
solid gold vaults interesting I sure
[TS]
◼
►
i'll go first I was shocked shocked i
[TS]
◼
►
tell you to find that nobody last year
[TS]
◼
►
picked the seminal 1983 classic a
[TS]
◼
►
christmas story which you've seen
[TS]
◼
►
because he runs for 24 hours during xmas
[TS]
◼
►
on TBS yes it does mr. ossible for you
[TS]
◼
►
not to have seen it
[TS]
◼
►
oh I love watching it like two in the
[TS]
◼
►
morning it's great it's really a ball
[TS]
◼
►
with the best part about it is that you
[TS]
◼
►
can start watching at some point and
[TS]
◼
►
then yes and you can go to bed then you
[TS]
◼
►
can get a meeting gets the resin dip in
[TS]
◼
►
and out and you know you come up as we
[TS]
◼
►
know the most ridiculous thing we bought
[TS]
◼
►
a DVD of it when you're have no idea
[TS]
◼
►
what we can see that is correct that is
[TS]
◼
►
just ridiculous ruins the experience
[TS]
◼
►
that's not what was that about
[TS]
◼
►
so it perfectly supports that sort of
[TS]
◼
►
dipping in and out right because it's
[TS]
◼
►
kind of well it is an overarching has an
[TS]
◼
►
overarching plot there are like sort of
[TS]
◼
►
these little scenes that serve as
[TS]
◼
►
vignettes so it really does a good job
[TS]
◼
►
of letting you sort of drop in and pick
[TS]
◼
►
up just you know a thread and then you
[TS]
◼
►
could just let it go and then come back
[TS]
◼
►
later and watch another thread and it's
[TS]
◼
►
it's it's just a lovely movie iight shot
[TS]
◼
►
is what you're saying
[TS]
◼
►
exactly i remember it i remember it's
[TS]
◼
►
scaring me a little bit when I was a kid
[TS]
◼
►
because the Santa seen the Santa scene
[TS]
◼
►
where he kicks and down the slide was
[TS]
◼
►
like oh very nice and also the shooting
[TS]
◼
►
your eye out was very traumatic for me
[TS]
◼
►
oh yeah sure I with that thing i had a
[TS]
◼
►
BB gun and I had that same fear was like
[TS]
◼
►
we want to get him
[TS]
◼
►
it's dangerous and I got my co-host
[TS]
◼
►
interest i hope i don't misuse it and
[TS]
◼
►
accidentally somehow shoot and I out of
[TS]
◼
►
mine or someone else's I here's the deal
[TS]
◼
►
ken jennings considers jeopardy winner
[TS]
◼
►
and gentlemen commence collecting his
[TS]
◼
►
new book out about childhood myths
[TS]
◼
►
things our parents told us that were
[TS]
◼
►
wrong and just came out a couple days
[TS]
◼
►
ago and one of them is about your I
[TS]
◼
►
would be begun it is in fact true most
[TS]
◼
►
mrs. book he disapproves but in fact
[TS]
◼
►
there are enormous number of merchants
[TS]
◼
►
your room visits of people having shot
[TS]
◼
►
there I with their guns and BB gun while
[TS]
◼
►
your eyes are pretty sensitive so it's
[TS]
◼
►
not really a surprise we talk about the
[TS]
◼
►
air those airs those intense airsoft
[TS]
◼
►
rifles are we talking about like a
[TS]
◼
►
little like one of the ones that you can
[TS]
◼
►
pump up and maybe guns i think I'm packs
[TS]
◼
►
of Indian rifles are these guns can
[TS]
◼
►
produce like a crazy amount of psi so it
[TS]
◼
►
is an actual worry and that was this
[TS]
◼
►
week's installment of blending with
[TS]
◼
►
they can work your plan works you and
[TS]
◼
►
Jeffery 100 I've erased all memory of
[TS]
◼
►
me too oh yeah yeah yeahs a couple
[TS]
◼
►
things I really love about this movie
[TS]
◼
►
one I really love the the little brother
[TS]
◼
►
Randy whose I think my favorite
[TS]
◼
►
character in the meantime people fight
[TS]
◼
►
because the Santa got this movie with me
[TS]
◼
►
when he's under the sink
[TS]
◼
►
no that was one of the better one for me
[TS]
◼
►
as always okay why are your arms down
[TS]
◼
►
when you get to school but also daddy's
[TS]
◼
►
gonna kill Ralphie which is that is that
[TS]
◼
►
is a around my family my extended family
[TS]
◼
►
that that quote comes up fairly often or
[TS]
◼
►
around around Christmastime can we get
[TS]
◼
►
some praise for darren mcgavin they're
[TS]
◼
►
always and you are a man what a great i
[TS]
◼
►
mean he's a great actor and
[TS]
◼
►
underappreciated but this it's so
[TS]
◼
►
actually great and he passed away a few
[TS]
◼
►
it's so great that as delivery that he
[TS]
◼
►
isn't the kind of thing guy deserved to
[TS]
◼
►
be in a in a classic I don't in a
[TS]
◼
►
timeless classic and this is it the
[TS]
◼
►
boxes from juillet must be Italian
[TS]
◼
►
the duck is smiling at us but this is
[TS]
◼
►
dog its tether little mexican smooth up
[TS]
◼
►
the mechana seen that always comes back
[TS]
◼
►
to me is of course the changing the tire
[TS]
◼
►
oh I the only he doesn't say yeah my
[TS]
◼
►
cabin is great and easy particularly
[TS]
◼
►
great in this because the I think for me
[TS]
◼
►
the best thing about this film is that
[TS]
◼
►
is the relationship between Ralphie and
[TS]
◼
►
dad made a most at least american males
[TS]
◼
►
I it and certainly myself you know dad
[TS]
◼
►
is basically this sort of vague presents
[TS]
◼
►
that that appears after work in the
[TS]
◼
►
evenings and seems to exist solely to
[TS]
◼
►
scallops you and tell you you're doing
[TS]
◼
►
things wrong and it's me and it's just
[TS]
◼
►
it's absolutely beautiful where you know
[TS]
◼
►
he's he's asking for the gun from every
[TS]
◼
►
single entity he can he can consider and
[TS]
◼
►
you never even thinks of the dad and in
[TS]
◼
►
the end it's a daddy was aware enough of
[TS]
◼
►
his son's needs and wants to be the one
[TS]
◼
►
that sneaks the gun into the house I
[TS]
◼
►
think that's just great it's so it's a
[TS]
◼
►
it's it just encapsulated the whole
[TS]
◼
►
father-son relationship thing to a tee
[TS]
◼
►
and it does a good job making
[TS]
◼
►
three-dimensional to write like you know
[TS]
◼
►
like you're saying there it's just he's
[TS]
◼
►
he's a natural character there and I
[TS]
◼
►
don't know I mean I assume like many of
[TS]
◼
►
you probably that there is an element of
[TS]
◼
►
that reminds me of my own relationship
[TS]
◼
►
with my father so i came to this movie
[TS]
◼
►
really late I this movie was already a
[TS]
◼
►
classic and I hadn't seen it until like
[TS]
◼
►
five years ago or something and I you
[TS]
◼
►
had that moment where you're thinking
[TS]
◼
►
well it's really on and it is it's great
[TS]
◼
►
it feels like it's a document that fell
[TS]
◼
►
out of a you know a time warp from like
[TS]
◼
►
50 years ago because of the setting and
[TS]
◼
►
all of that and it it and as a result is
[TS]
◼
►
so timeless and it's great and and the
[TS]
◼
►
fact is yeah it has so many of those
[TS]
◼
►
vignettes in it that it it's in some
[TS]
◼
►
ways it whoever thought to run it 24
[TS]
◼
►
hours a day over christmas on TBS is a
[TS]
◼
►
genius because you really can kind of
[TS]
◼
►
chop it up in a blender and it doesn't
[TS]
◼
►
matter it's just kind of charming and
[TS]
◼
►
fun and nice to see it and I use
[TS]
◼
►
sometimes i use the word charming a lot
[TS]
◼
►
to describe the certain kinds of movies
[TS]
◼
►
and TV shows but i really believe
[TS]
◼
►
there's something to be said for for
[TS]
◼
►
that kind of quality of like it just
[TS]
◼
►
makes me feel good to watch it and it
[TS]
◼
►
fits nice and it's enjoyable and it's
[TS]
◼
►
nostalgic in a way and it's just it's
[TS]
◼
►
got all those all those pieces to it
[TS]
◼
►
it's got its got a great get tie into
[TS]
◼
►
that I that I discovered recently which
[TS]
◼
►
I hadn't thought about which is that the
[TS]
◼
►
the character of scut Farkus the bully
[TS]
◼
►
who beat Amon did not realize the
[TS]
◼
►
recently that he appears in those two
[TS]
◼
►
sort of flashforward episodes of
[TS]
◼
►
dollhouse the ones with felicia day he
[TS]
◼
►
is he's like this because he's this tall
[TS]
◼
►
redheaded kid and like for some reason
[TS]
◼
►
when especially when I was growing up
[TS]
◼
►
because this movie is set
[TS]
◼
►
it's from the eighties but it is set
[TS]
◼
►
much earlier I always sort of assumed
[TS]
◼
►
because it's done so well as a movie of
[TS]
◼
►
that time I was assumed it was from that
[TS]
◼
►
era and so when I realized that no this
[TS]
◼
►
is from the eighties and thus the actors
[TS]
◼
►
you know who are now in their thirties
[TS]
◼
►
or forties you know like if it started
[TS]
◼
►
really strange to see them on TV shows
[TS]
◼
►
that are modern and like his second
[TS]
◼
►
house that guy only like 30 now it
[TS]
◼
►
doesn't make any sense that was the only
[TS]
◼
►
thing that caused me to disconnect that
[TS]
◼
►
movie because the mom has this 1980 Cape
[TS]
◼
►
Kate Capshaw style hair that says they
[TS]
◼
►
didn't wear hair like that in the
[TS]
◼
►
forties did they and the dad is Aggies
[TS]
◼
►
perfectly cast but he's kind of old to
[TS]
◼
►
have such a young son may be the age
[TS]
◼
►
difference always intrigued me because
[TS]
◼
►
she's so much older than his wife and
[TS]
◼
►
the only way I can explain it as maybe
[TS]
◼
►
he spent the thirties thinking he'll
[TS]
◼
►
never have a family there with
[TS]
◼
►
depression was on you couldn't start a
[TS]
◼
►
family then it's just because he's an
[TS]
◼
►
Oldsmobile man it ages you have a vague
[TS]
◼
►
some historical explanation for these
[TS]
◼
►
were the days when like you know people
[TS]
◼
►
used to die in childbirth like we're
[TS]
◼
►
very very high rates you have to marry a
[TS]
◼
►
lot of different women just to ensure
[TS]
◼
►
that one of the would survive to raise
[TS]
◼
►
the children the 1950s 47-43 this is way
[TS]
◼
►
more thought than I'd ever given to this
[TS]
◼
►
but you know you know for you you do
[TS]
◼
►
know physicians were washing their hands
[TS]
◼
►
by that point right i mean childbed
[TS]
◼
►
fever was installed a thing in charlotte
[TS]
◼
►
was urging shouts idea the on temporary
[TS]
◼
►
gene Shepard of resin traffic right
[TS]
◼
►
Urlacher e-book I like you imagine gene
[TS]
◼
►
Shalit Christmas still that's a very
[TS]
◼
►
yes year you're going to have a halt
[TS]
◼
►
holiday thanks to the Christmas story
[TS]
◼
►
that there's my house i'm wearing that
[TS]
◼
►
crazy kid pop otay Shepherd served in
[TS]
◼
►
Korea didn't he was in those World War
[TS]
◼
►
he was in a single course so in fact
[TS]
◼
►
these stories he's telling them in the
[TS]
◼
►
sixties movie was made the eighties but
[TS]
◼
►
he was really talking about the thirties
[TS]
◼
►
originally I don't know the movies
[TS]
◼
►
center of an indeterminate time that
[TS]
◼
►
seems like it might be the fifties but
[TS]
◼
►
these are about this really the thirties
[TS]
◼
►
he was born in 21
[TS]
◼
►
so he's nostalgic for someone else's
[TS]
◼
►
childhood well now i have to recalibrate
[TS]
◼
►
I'm thinking that the old man is
[TS]
◼
►
shell-shocked from his trench warfare
[TS]
◼
►
were one that's that's my new historical
[TS]
◼
►
one of the trench foot and pick your
[TS]
◼
►
poison hero palms next steak frites ass
[TS]
◼
►
and they just weren't appreciated and
[TS]
◼
►
now he isn't it suspicious that he
[TS]
◼
►
didn't actually know Italian then I mean
[TS]
◼
►
think about you clearly he appears to
[TS]
◼
►
have been I've nothing I got nothing i
[TS]
◼
►
just running out the next and you drop
[TS]
◼
►
you drop that that that kid was on
[TS]
◼
►
fringe but i think last year now a
[TS]
◼
►
dollhouse for dollhouse right but last
[TS]
◼
►
year we we dealt with the fact that
[TS]
◼
►
Peter Billingsley is in elf
[TS]
◼
►
yes yes and Marilyn line apparently an
[TS]
◼
►
iron man two original original iron man
[TS]
◼
►

[TS]
◼
►

[TS]
◼

[TS]

I'm not necessarily genre-specific the
[TS]
◼
►
kind of enjoyed by geeks billingsley is
[TS]
◼
►

[TS]
◼
►
alright so so a christmas story and more
[TS]
◼
►
in in in the holiday movie halt forever
[TS]
◼
►
flying and must be discovered that it
[TS]
◼
►
did steroids and then we might take it
[TS]
◼
►
out later but otherwise it's in forever
[TS]
◼
►
whoo-hoo would like to choose next I
[TS]
◼
►
would like to choose next I stand step
[TS]
◼

for starting value to the bolts & lock
[TS]
◼

yes so my film the volunteer condition
[TS]
◼

to go ahead there's no air bizarre
[TS]
◼

condition holiday in a 1942 American
[TS]
◼
►
musical which is a terrific film it's
[TS]
◼
►
got being cross be in it it's got Fred
[TS]
◼
►
Astaire it's musics by Irving Berlin
[TS]
◼
►
it's like the Christmas see is the
[TS]
◼
►
American musical easiest thing you could
[TS]
◼
►
possibly imagine and also is not just
[TS]
◼
►
about Christmas it's about all kinds of
[TS]
◼
►
holidays being called holiday and so
[TS]
◼
►
that the conceit is that being Crosby
[TS]
◼
►
he's tired of the big city life up there
[TS]
◼
►
in Manhattan he wants to move out to the
[TS]
◼
►
country like Greenwich Connecticut or
[TS]
◼
►
somewhere where it's still country and
[TS]
◼
►
everything's quiet small in those days
[TS]
◼
►
and so he wants to start farm and farm
[TS]
◼
►
doesn't do so well so he decides that
[TS]
◼
►
he'll take his acting and singing talent
[TS]
◼
►
and production production town and
[TS]
◼
►
having left first airing a club in the
[TS]
◼
►
big city and having lost his girlfriend
[TS]
◼
►
stare he sets up shop with the idea that
[TS]
◼
►
he'll run and in just on holidays like
[TS]
◼
►
Christmas and groundhogs day maybe I
[TS]
◼
►
well that's it that's a business model
[TS]
◼
►
that can't fail you can feel that's what
[TS]
◼
►
spawned a successful the successful
[TS]
◼
►
hotel chain named after la quinta right
[TS]
◼
►
and no way that that wrong
[TS]
◼
►
sorry it's just concerning though that
[TS]
◼
►
now holiday and has an entirely
[TS]
◼
►
different meaning than what it actually
[TS]
◼
►
meant when the movie was made it was
[TS]
◼
►
confusing the first time I saw the movie
[TS]
◼
►
I thought something was wrong that hotel
[TS]
◼
►
that hotel you so only be open on
[TS]
◼
►
holidays too and they decided you know
[TS]
◼
►
what we're paying all the staff just to
[TS]
◼
►
sleep in the bed for 29 days on the
[TS]
◼
►
it's a pretty thing well you know that
[TS]
◼
►
long gap in April and May so the movies
[TS]
◼
►
full of fantastic music they the one
[TS]
◼
►
that's best known for of course is white
[TS]
◼
►
Christmas and there's this tremendously
[TS]
◼
►
wonderful surreal bit at the end where
[TS]
◼
►
the front of stair character whose name
[TS]
◼
►
is Ted Hanover if you created Jim Hardy
[TS]
◼
►
and Ted Hanover convinces Hollywood to
[TS]
◼
►
make a movie about holiday inn in the
[TS]
◼
►
movie holiday inn and so they cut and
[TS]
◼
►
show you a set at some point and the set
[TS]
◼
►
is the set we've been watching the
[TS]
◼
►
entire movie and then they pull back and
[TS]
◼
►
you see that its asset but they're
[TS]
◼
►
showing you a set as asset because
[TS]
◼
►
they're filming it with all the cameras
[TS]
◼
►
in it as if they were filming the set it
[TS]
◼
►
is a little surreal for a movie made in
[TS]
◼
►
1942 I liked that bit too but full of
[TS]
◼
►
great music and we try to watch it every
[TS]
◼
►
year it's one of the film's in my house
[TS]
◼
►
set out my wife and I try to bring up
[TS]
◼
►
your cousin music and it's just a silly
[TS]
◼
►
plot and that's got you know great
[TS]
◼
►
singing dancing that kind of thing in it
[TS]
◼
►
also racism right also raised oh no wait
[TS]
◼
►
should we just brushed under the carpet
[TS]
◼
►
snow likely also races absolutely what
[TS]
◼
►
did anything so it's got a senior so the
[TS]
◼
►
American tradition religion to be fair
[TS]
◼
►
christmas story also has its a brief
[TS]
◼
►
races scene 2 so what's the regular
[TS]
◼
►
racism I think about the Chinese
[TS]
◼
►
restaurant is already
[TS]
◼
►
which is it possible bad because it is
[TS]
◼
►
so hilarious but at the same time yes
[TS]
◼
►
terribly rich with so this basically
[TS]
◼
►
you're saying that this is the racist
[TS]
◼
►
wing of the holiday movie ball basically
[TS]
◼
►
saying that Christmas is racist and
[TS]
◼
►
having been white and Christmas hello
[TS]
◼
►
lump of coal I mean come on
[TS]
◼
►
having been in chinese restaurants as a
[TS]
◼
►
Jew before I married someone who's not
[TS]
◼
►
Jewish on Christmas day I will say that
[TS]
◼
►
the you know the Christmas story scene
[TS]
◼
►
is relatively accurate in many regards
[TS]
◼
►
so the so the in holiday am that issue
[TS]
◼
►
is of course lincoln's birthday where
[TS]
◼
►
the performers apply black face and sing
[TS]
◼
►
a song called Abraham and it's a little
[TS]
◼
►
terrifying another the terminally
[TS]
◼
►
classics from what I was just looking
[TS]
◼
►
this up to make sure that's right they
[TS]
◼
►
refused to edit movies they want to show
[TS]
◼
►
them on edited so they in fact will show
[TS]
◼
►
the film with this extra tray classic
[TS]
◼
►
movies and AMC will show the movie with
[TS]
◼
►
the Abraham seen it and it's usually cut
[TS]
◼
►
and the first time I saw I'd seen Holly
[TS]
◼
►
and for years and years and i'm watching
[TS]
◼
►
I'm like I don't remember them doing
[TS]
◼
►
abraham lincoln's birthday
[TS]
◼
►
I don't remember being Crosby putting on
[TS]
◼
►
blackface old no no
[TS]
◼
►
and the thing about that scene is like
[TS]
◼
►
its it opens up with Bing Crosby singing
[TS]
◼
►
in French first of all being Crosby
[TS]
◼
►
singing anything that it you know you've
[TS]
◼
►
screwed up when you do anything that
[TS]
◼
►
overshadows Bing Crosby singing one of
[TS]
◼
►
the best vocalist in the 20th century
[TS]
◼
►
and so it's bad enough because he's he's
[TS]
◼
►
in this uncle remus costume and it's bad
[TS]
◼
►
and you're you're like oh my god what a
[TS]
◼
►
different error this was this is
[TS]
◼
►
horrifying this is horrible and they
[TS]
◼
►
started gets the end of the song realize
[TS]
◼
►
okay they're going to move on to the
[TS]
◼
►
next holiday is and then the female lead
[TS]
◼
►
comes onstage in out four hundred times
[TS]
◼
►
worse most great more racist stereotype
[TS]
◼
►
like all this it's like it's like a real
[TS]
◼
►
springtime for Hitler moment for your
[TS]
◼
►
job is you just know and your job is
[TS]
◼
►
like on your chest because the phrase
[TS]
◼
►
like I'm not saying they're not
[TS]
◼
►
yeah like some part of you is going to
[TS]
◼
►
look at least get that keyboard
[TS]
◼
►
background your head saying okay totally
[TS]
◼
►
different time racism was far far far
[TS]
◼
►
far different than that was now and then
[TS]
◼
►
you're like I had no idea how did this
[TS]
◼
►
get released and people not just like
[TS]
◼
►
breaking excuse a little bit then you're
[TS]
◼
►
like okay not that much nobody know but
[TS]
◼
►
i think the business there's a thing of
[TS]
◼
►
the time which is that minstrel ism had
[TS]
◼
►
a long history wasn't purse a racist as
[TS]
◼
►
a point where developed into that we can
[TS]
◼
►
have a whole discussion about that black
[TS]
◼
►
people actually dressed up as minstrels
[TS]
◼
►
and performed is it's a very often but
[TS]
◼
►
the weird part to me is not just that
[TS]
◼
►
but then while these people are singing
[TS]
◼
►
black face behind them are the black
[TS]
◼
►
servants in the house including Louise
[TS]
◼
►
Ellen beavers I look up her name here
[TS]
◼
►
was plays mammy and like every movie
[TS]
◼
►
during her lifetime and including this
[TS]
◼
►
one and her kids are singing along and
[TS]
◼
►
of course they're black they're not a
[TS]
◼
►
black face their black with these white
[TS]
◼
►
people in blackface singing and it's not
[TS]
◼
►
set up to be funny it's an absolutely
[TS]
◼
►
serious moment so if you take it for
[TS]
◼
►
what it is it's actually fine it's just
[TS]
◼
►
terrifying insight into what was
[TS]
◼
►
acceptable portrayal wasn't it wasn't a
[TS]
◼
►
parody or Lampoon but anyway it is just
[TS]
◼
►
an odd moment movie but you know where
[TS]
◼
►
we're not confronted with having to see
[TS]
◼
►
it it actually turns out that all your
[TS]
◼
►
favorite movies have black faces that
[TS]
◼
►
have been cut another our shows busters
[TS]
◼
►
these diehard the die-hard black facing
[TS]
◼
►
the top that's really true actually you
[TS]
◼
►
know the worst one is in 2001 a Space
[TS]
◼
►
Odyssey that is the most offensive
[TS]
◼
►
blackface scene i have ever ever seen
[TS]
◼
►
but you got to get the bootleg David
[TS]
◼
►
really overdoing it
[TS]
◼
►
yeah yeah it's really it's really
[TS]
◼
►
horrible you know it's funny what I
[TS]
◼
►
think I think we may have touched on
[TS]
◼
►
this briefly in previous podcast but it
[TS]
◼
►
is fascinating not to get off of holiday
[TS]
◼
►
movies into crippling racism and culture
[TS]
◼
►
that's what every podcast involves and
[TS]
◼
►
the one that always gets me it again not
[TS]
◼
►
a I'm not holiday-themed per se but
[TS]
◼
►
actually a tradition that that I i got
[TS]
◼
►
from from Lisa's husband
[TS]
◼
►
Oh ducts which is which is a which is
[TS]
◼
►
the Marx Brothers & duck soup every yes
[TS]
◼
►
3 New Year's Eve we want we watch duck
[TS]
◼
►
soup and the marketplace duck soup and
[TS]
◼
►
there is there's actually a number in
[TS]
◼
►
there that does have a lot of a slightly
[TS]
◼
►
horrific black facing right in the
[TS]
◼
►
middle of it with with all four marks
[TS]
◼
►
reference yes and they're there are
[TS]
◼
►
several other Marx Brothers movies with
[TS]
◼
►
similar either lines or or in fact in
[TS]
◼
►
one movie a whole production number data
[TS]
◼
►
races that and and that one blows me
[TS]
◼
►
away because it's like guys you're
[TS]
◼
►
Jewish you yourself are an oppressed
[TS]
◼
►
group do you not see what you're doing
[TS]
◼
►
here but it again it's just something I
[TS]
◼
►
watched all those movies as a kid and I
[TS]
◼
►
have no recollection of this i feel like
[TS]
◼
►
my parents were that's kind of parents
[TS]
◼
►
would like sit me down and had a talk
[TS]
◼
►
about it but apparently justice i'm
[TS]
◼
►
almost i'm almost tempted to change my
[TS]
◼
►
vote to duck soup and duck soup has
[TS]
◼
►
nothing to do with the holidays and all
[TS]
◼
►
but it's a wonderful holiday tradition
[TS]
◼
►
and it's a it is such an absurd movie to
[TS]
◼
►
there's ever a little things i like
[TS]
◼
►
about it's a great hungry New Year's Eve
[TS]
◼
►
thing and it's short I was my favorite
[TS]
◼
►
Marx Brothers movie grown ups
[TS]
◼
►
yeah that's where I got one of my
[TS]
◼
►
twitter icons because for one of my
[TS]
◼
►
Twitter streams i have Margaret Dumont
[TS]
◼
►
is my car Oh from that movie with you
[TS]
◼
►
have been spalding my house but no one's
[TS]
◼
►
gonna answer the whole Lake that the
[TS]
◼
►
market marshmallows yes other than the
[TS]
◼
►
hundred and the occasional bits of of
[TS]
◼
►
quite disturbing racism lovely lovely
[TS]
◼
►
sunday and holiday and so I guess we
[TS]
◼
►
have to indulge holiday in glitter we
[TS]
◼
►
inducting it without mr. lincoln's
[TS]
◼
►
birthday I don't important historical
[TS]
◼
►
record I think we'll be able to see if
[TS]
◼
►
you rent it i don't know what the DVD is
[TS]
◼
►
like and if you rent it rented out if
[TS]
◼
►
you can read it if you watch it on
[TS]
◼
►
television get the DVD it's you know
[TS]
◼
►
it's part of the history of
[TS]
◼
►
entertainment what people watch the time
[TS]
◼
►
what our grandparents watched was first
[TS]
◼
►
out so i think we induct it without the
[TS]
◼
►
scene with the important recollection
[TS]
◼
►
that movie was made with this seemed
[TS]
◼
►
alright fair enough
[TS]
◼
►
as the inductor you get to decide how we
[TS]
◼
►
how we view this movie for all time so
[TS]
◼
►
thank you but one last night I'm holiday
[TS]
◼
►
inn which I've which I found fascinating
[TS]
◼
►
they actually took the exact same sets
[TS]
◼
►
years later when they made white
[TS]
◼
►
christmas and the holiday the the
[TS]
◼
►
holiday inn like club is the exact same
[TS]
◼
►
set they use for the generals lot of the
[TS]
◼
►
ski lodge in white Christmas
[TS]
◼
►
so if it's the they turned it around a
[TS]
◼
►
little bit but it is exactly stick for
[TS]
◼
►
stick to the same one and you can tell
[TS]
◼
►
because in holiday in white christmas
[TS]
◼
►
which is a Technicolor movie they didn't
[TS]
◼
►
even bother to paint this
[TS]
◼
►
black-and-white set it is it looks like
[TS]
◼
►
a black-and-white movie with like the
[TS]
◼
►
only one that's been colorized with like
[TS]
◼
►
human skin tones in it i should also
[TS]
◼
►
point out that that indian taco has his
[TS]
◼
►
own equivalent of a holiday movie vault
[TS]
◼
►
and it's a it's down in his basement and
[TS]
◼
►
that's where white christmas has been
[TS]
◼
►
locked up and he doesn't feed especially
[TS]
◼
►
if it's changed out of it puts the
[TS]
◼
►
lotion on its skin and never ever gets
[TS]
◼
►
aired again no it's it's the same as the
[TS]
◼
►
same vault that like they used to put
[TS]
◼
►
the Hulk in like the first issues the
[TS]
◼
►
comic to prevent it from getting out and
[TS]
◼
►
wreaking havoc upon innocent people is
[TS]
◼
►
the same philanthropy with which I
[TS]
◼
►
protect people from white Christmas
[TS]
◼
►
thank you we appreciate it do you
[TS]
◼
►
spoilers spoilers are you gonna ruin
[TS]
◼
►
somebody's a beloved holiday movie again
[TS]
◼
►
this year I i actually have had many
[TS]
◼
►
requests to lie creature like repeat
[TS]
◼
►
that episode I am actually in the early
[TS]
◼
►
stages of preparing what a twitter
[TS]
◼
►
follower pre professionally described as
[TS]
◼
►
the detractors commentary of white
[TS]
◼
►
Christmas I'm going to do my own like
[TS]
◼
►
rifftrax that's not joking it just
[TS]
◼
►
simply go shot-by-shot beautiful hissing
[TS]
◼
►
okay now here's here's the part where I
[TS]
◼
►
think you could kind of see you kinda
[TS]
◼
►
see Bing Crosby's but underneath those
[TS]
◼
►
tighty-whities because the director just
[TS]
◼
►
didn't care i was framing it didn't even
[TS]
◼
►
give him a new pair of Underpants I
[TS]
◼
►
wouldn't say so much
[TS]
◼
►
there it is everybody look forward to
[TS]
◼
►
that will be everybody understands
[TS]
◼
►
remember for next year preview of any
[TS]
◼
►
the strategy it's gonna be a big project
[TS]
◼
►
it's gonna be good let's go from the
[TS]
◼
►
from horrible racist scenes and hot 11
[TS]
◼
►
holiday movies to Steve lots of natural
[TS]
◼
►
transition i don't know how i feel about
[TS]
◼
►
what are you gonna do Steve well well
[TS]
◼
►
actually it might turn out to be a
[TS]
◼
►
better segue than you think but only
[TS]
◼
►
very tenuously oh boy ok so we look I
[TS]
◼
►
no no Skeletor ball
[TS]
◼
►
I mentioned at the end of last year's
[TS]
◼
►
holiday vault that that I was bitter
[TS]
◼
►
that a christmas story had mentioned and
[TS]
◼
►
I really wanted to induct that this year
[TS]
◼
►
but then I caught wind that Dan might
[TS]
◼
►
want to choose it so in the spirit of
[TS]
◼
►
Christmas i decided to let him have all
[TS]
◼
►
because i'm a giver
[TS]
◼
►
but I did pick another film from the
[TS]
◼
►
great Bob Clark who is for modern fee
[TS]
◼
►
it has been marked with peaks and
[TS]
◼
►
valleys but i believe the peaks are very
[TS]
◼
►
high indeed i'm talking about like a
[TS]
◼
►
christmas story he did Porky's baby
[TS]
◼
►
geniuses to electric babylou i think was
[TS]
◼
►
his one of those Peaks is the film i've
[TS]
◼
►
chosen for this year's holiday movie
[TS]
◼
►
evolved and that is 1974 black christmas
[TS]
◼
►
you are going to get international
[TS]
◼
►
production starting it is it is a
[TS]
◼
►
delightful tale of a sorority house at
[TS]
◼
►
Christmas break and the psychotic killer
[TS]
◼
►
living in the Attic who periodically
[TS]
◼
►
emerges to kill the ones that didn't go
[TS]
◼
►
home for the holidays was the call
[TS]
◼
►
coming from inside the house this is
[TS]
◼
►
great this is great is is the killer see
[TS]
◼
►
so he stood the killer starts to kill
[TS]
◼
►
the girls in the sorority house why
[TS]
◼
►
don't the rest of them leave saying
[TS]
◼
►
there is a killer there was a horrible
[TS]
◼
►
kit murder here or if there's a good
[TS]
◼
►
reason that Jason don't know it'sit's
[TS]
◼
►
actually brilliant the because it is
[TS]
◼
►
Christmas break and the girls are you
[TS]
◼
►
know periodically leaving the sorority
[TS]
◼
►
house to go home for the holidays or go
[TS]
◼
►
skiing and naturally just before most of
[TS]
◼
►
them get dispatched they say something
[TS]
◼
►
along the lines of I might not be here
[TS]
◼
►
when you get back because my dad's
[TS]
◼
►
coming to pick me up and then lo and
[TS]
◼
►
behold when the person gets back that
[TS]
◼
►
that person is our molecules but is in
[TS]
◼
►
fact there because the killer is keeping
[TS]
◼
►
his his his trophies in the Attic
[TS]
◼
►
oh just like John McCain no one ever
[TS]
◼
►
notices the smell or nothing really
[TS]
◼
►
apparently not although i excuse you
[TS]
◼
►
have up there it's you do get perfect
[TS]
◼
►
and it's apparently soundproof as well
[TS]
◼
►
because this guy does as Glenn mentioned
[TS]
◼
►
make quite a few phone calls to the to
[TS]
◼
►
the residents of the sorority house
[TS]
◼
►
really it's really awkward but it's on a
[TS]
◼
►
party-line to write get off the phone
[TS]
◼
►
kill your mom come on the phone but no
[TS]
◼
►
this is easily the best of the Christmas
[TS]
◼
►
based horror movies and I think one of
[TS]
◼
►
the best horror movies at the seventies
[TS]
◼
►
period i hesitate to call it a slasher
[TS]
◼
►
film because i think it is higher
[TS]
◼
►
quality than most of those but pretty
[TS]
◼
►
much every slasher that came afterwards
[TS]
◼
►
crib from it in that black christmas i
[TS]
◼
►
think introduce the sorority house
[TS]
◼
►
setting the camera shots taken from the
[TS]
◼
►
point of view of the killer which i
[TS]
◼
►
think most people would attribute to
[TS]
◼
►
halloween was done here for years
[TS]
◼
►
earlier the repeated phone calls from
[TS]
◼
►
the killer as i mentioned and these are
[TS]
◼
►
much much worse than just the check the
[TS]
◼
►
kids this is actually some really creepy
[TS]
◼
►
schizophrenic sounding stuff with the
[TS]
◼
►
guy uses multiple voices and speaks as a
[TS]
◼
►
child sometimes and occasionally just
[TS]
◼
►
drops into totally normal speech
[TS]
◼
►
patterns and indeed plan the call is
[TS]
◼
►
coming from inside the house so you work
[TS]
◼
►
you were correct there I was worried for
[TS]
◼
►
a second we're going to pick a black
[TS]
◼
►
yellow Christmas notes that's a good one
[TS]
◼
►
too though right you know i just i'm not
[TS]
◼
►
i'm not super familiar this but I
[TS]
◼
►
wouldn't look at the wikipedia page what
[TS]
◼
►
we're talking and notice that this in a
[TS]
◼
►
tie into our earlier discussion cured
[TS]
◼
►
aaliyah's in this movie here 2001 Fame
[TS]
◼
►
also Olivia Hussey who was in romeo and

[TS]
◼

[TS]
◼
►
evolve ever so it's wonderful it's a
[TS]
◼
►
wonderful film whose Andrea Martin plan
[TS]
◼
►
this film well I don't seem it and she's
[TS]
◼
►
got more Andrea Martin he's somewhat
[TS]
◼

attractive semi amusing friend
[TS]
◼
►
well the sorority girls with the curly
[TS]
◼

hair and glasses who she's really more
[TS]
◼
►
of an accessory she doesn't really rise
[TS]
◼
►
to or two I do i think the fast lane
[TS]
◼
►
choice her talents but it's it's a
[TS]
◼
►
wonderful summer film this is a
[TS]
◼
►
Christmas Eve and you only a scary one
[TS]
◼
►
it's it's a good thing thrown the DVD
[TS]
◼
►
player wire wrapping gifts or stabbing
[TS]
◼
►
gifts with a knife over and you're
[TS]
◼
►
somewhere so when the cancer sleep
[TS]
◼
►
upstairs you're assembling all the toys
[TS]
◼
►
there you go you have after you've put
[TS]
◼
►
together the bike with the Japanese
[TS]
◼
►
instructions and you're in a bitter
[TS]
◼
►
bitter mood this is the this is the way
[TS]
◼
►
at least somebody's having a worst
[TS]
◼
►
Christmas Eve than I am just don't have
[TS]
◼
►
don't have the volume up to louder
[TS]
◼
►
one of your kids will come downstairs to
[TS]
◼
►
be like what do you want God it does
[TS]
◼
►
have very little blood so if you happen
[TS]
◼
►
to be somebody who's squeamish that's
[TS]
◼
►
actually a pretty decent film for for
[TS]
◼
►
you know horror beginners and contrary
[TS]
◼
►
to the template that Halloween started
[TS]
◼
►
the Virgin dies first
[TS]
◼
►
so it's actually an improvement over
[TS]
◼
►
what came later it was between this and
[TS]
◼
►
I think you did a good job by by another
[TS]
◼
►
psychopathic keeps picking people off
[TS]
◼
►
one-by-one during the holidays and
[TS]
◼
►
inside a house that's right
[TS]
◼
►
die hard 2 also somebody skulks around
[TS]
◼
►
killing people inside a big house that I
[TS]
◼
►
think about our mothers our headlight
[TS]
◼
►
different holiday and no one is killed
[TS]
◼
►
to my knowledge accepting the same that
[TS]
◼
►
they removed spoken of murder see all by
[TS]
◼
►
briefly considered I hard to for my
[TS]
◼
►
choice this year but us decided that
[TS]
◼
►
it's not as good as die hard one
[TS]
◼
►
it's not the sequels rarely are still
[TS]
◼
►
still decent still better than a lot of
[TS]
◼
►
crap your action movies but you know
[TS]
◼
►
what it doesn't quite capture the magic
[TS]
◼
►
I think we should move on because I'm
[TS]
◼
►
yes I know it's starting to get dark in
[TS]
◼
►
let's all it so let's go to Andy next

back of the values extremes to put

◼
►

legitimate sincere beloved holiday TV

►
robot robot Christmas crowd cartoon of

[TS]
◼
►
same show each and every season each
[TS]
◼
►

[TS]
◼
►

[TS]
◼
►

◼
►

[TS]
◼
►
always the same script as oh it always
[TS]
◼
►
kills only yeah you mentioned that she
[TS]
◼
►
wasn't she was in Victorian clothes
[TS]
◼
►
her hands were in a month pause for the
[TS]
◼
►
laughs from the audience every time okay
[TS]
◼

Jay Thomas comes on as a guest
[TS]
◼

[TS]
◼
►
David Letterman gets it but you can see
[TS]
◼
►
every single time they really really
[TS]
◼
►
want to be the one who
[TS]
◼
►
it's two knocks the meatball off the
[TS]
◼
►
tree this year and then but the but the
[TS]
◼
►
the best part of all
[TS]
◼
►
Darlene love singing christmas baby
[TS]
◼
►
because problem yeah and maybe the first
[TS]
◼
►
time they ever did this it was done like
[TS]
◼
►
almost any other musical appearance on
[TS]
◼
►
the show extremely well produced well
[TS]
◼
►
done but nothing spectacular about it
[TS]
◼
►
but you can sort of you can also tell
[TS]
◼
►
that everyone associated with this show
[TS]
◼
►
wants this to be the best five minutes
[TS]
◼
►
they do every single year there's they
[TS]
◼
►
bring a chorus that bring an orchestra
[TS]
◼
►
they bring soloists they find a new way
[TS]
◼
►
to get the saxophone player in for his
[TS]
◼
►
big saxophone solo I'm really looking
[TS]
◼
►
forward to it especially this year
[TS]
◼
►
because the sex of their regular
[TS]
◼
►
saxophone player left earlier this
[TS]
◼
►
season and now there's a new guy in
[TS]
◼
►
there I don't know if he's going to fill
[TS]
◼
►
in where they're going to get the old
[TS]
◼
►
you can tell by this is a smile on my
[TS]
◼
►
face that's about eight miles wide
[TS]
◼
►
I love this each and every year and
[TS]
◼
►
possibly it's because one common thread
[TS]
◼
►
through a lot of these things we've been
[TS]
◼
►
talking about our favorite favorite
[TS]
◼
►
Christmas shows a lot of it is just its
[TS]
◼
►
associated with so many really great
[TS]
◼
►
memories that we a christmas story comes
[TS]
◼
►
on at some point and we're gonna be
[TS]
◼
►
seeing it through the course of the day
[TS]
◼
►
it's gonna be tied into whatever we do
[TS]
◼
►
on Christmas each and every year
[TS]
◼
►
Letterman shows but I've been watching
[TS]
◼
►
the show since I was a kid it what
[TS]
◼
►
didn't exist before be before I was a
[TS]
◼
►
teenager and it wasn't designed to be
[TS]
◼
►
this this commercial sort of thing
[TS]
◼
►
that's going to sell products and sell
[TS]
◼
►
advertising it just feels as though it
[TS]
◼
►
just grew naturally and organically and
[TS]
◼
►
everybody including the audience is just
[TS]
◼
►
enjoying every damn second of it so I'm
[TS]
◼
►
looking forward to if ever I i got my
[TS]
◼
►
schedule screwed up and I missed it i
[TS]
◼
►
would really have to petition like the
[TS]
◼
►
internet saying that somebody record
[TS]
◼
►
this and post the video because I can't
[TS]
◼
►
have my christmas until I see the
[TS]
◼
►
lettermen christmas show amazing that
[TS]
◼
►
they you know they essentially do the
[TS]
◼
►
same thing over here every year why not
[TS]
◼
►
david has the same show every night
[TS]
◼
►
that's true oh zing you got a point for
[TS]
◼
►
backpack that's right Dave I'm sorry he
[TS]
◼
►
couldn't hear you over the sound of the
[TS]
◼
►
kennedy center honor that you receive
[TS]
◼
►
as one of the leading contributors to
[TS]
◼
►
American entertainment now I just didn't
[TS]
◼
►
hear about that because I stopped
[TS]
◼
►
watching him 10 years ago when he
[TS]
◼
►
stopped being funny you know you weren't
[TS]
◼
►
always sing bird finding worried so what
[TS]
◼
►
do you have to contribute to the the the
[TS]
◼
►
increasingly crowded and come on holiday
[TS]
◼
►
movie volt the 1968 classic the lion in
[TS]
◼
►
thank you it's the story of Christmas
[TS]
◼
►
with Henry the second Eleanor of
[TS]
◼
►
Aquitaine and their three squabbling a
[TS]
◼
►
surviving sons to give you a little
[TS]
◼
►
backstory Henry and Eleanor one of
[TS]
◼
►
history's original fun couples she tried
[TS]
◼
►
to have him overthrown and in turn he
[TS]
◼
►
had imprisoned but because they were big
[TS]
◼
►
on appearances he freed her for
[TS]
◼
►
Christmas every year and during so this
[TS]
◼
►
takes place with her being you know
[TS]
◼
►
wrote on a barge up from prison to the
[TS]
◼
►
family stronghold where Henry has been
[TS]
◼
►
shacking up with his son's fiancee
[TS]
◼
►
this is fine by his son Richard because
[TS]
◼
►
Richard wasn't exactly into the ladies
[TS]
◼
►
and over the course of the next I want
[TS]
◼
►
to say 36 hours that the movie takes
[TS]
◼
►
place the sun's conspire to kill one or
[TS]
◼
►
both of their parents Henry and Eleanor
[TS]
◼
►
squabble reconcile squabble reconcile
[TS]
◼
►
blah blah at infinitum and the whole
[TS]
◼
►
thing is just a meditation on the
[TS]
◼
►
madness of going home for the holidays
[TS]
◼
►
and seeing the relatives you know you
[TS]
◼
►
know will drive you nuts and the the
[TS]
◼
►
dialogue the odd katharine hepburn place
[TS]
◼
►
Eleanor of Aquitaine peter o'toole is
[TS]
◼
►
brilliant as Henry the second a
[TS]
◼
►
comparatively young Anthony haha Anthony
[TS]
◼
►
Hopkins is Richard Timothy oh god
[TS]
◼
►
Timothy Dalton that's his name Timothy
[TS]
◼
►
Dalton plays the King of France who
[TS]
◼
►
happens to have had been having things
[TS]
◼
►
to do with Richard on the side and and
[TS]
◼
►
BB you come for that you you come for
[TS]
◼
►
the 1183 imager you stay for the
[TS]
◼
►
dialogue because it's got some of the
[TS]
◼
►
best lines that you're ever going to
[TS]
◼
►
hear in cinema i love that bit but she
[TS]
◼
►
throws herself doses every family has
[TS]
◼
►
its ups and downs but now there's
[TS]
◼
►
there's a scene where after after after
[TS]
◼
►
the Sun seven prison both Henry and
[TS]
◼
►
and stuck them in the in the dungeons to
[TS]
◼
►
figure out what to do with them
[TS]
◼
►
there's this beautiful scene where
[TS]
◼
►
Katherine Hepburn turns to Pedro to
[TS]
◼
►
lances I have a confession i'm afraid i
[TS]
◼
►
don't much like our children
[TS]
◼
►
well this that I think aaron sorkin
[TS]
◼
►
frequently quotes the line about the
[TS]
◼
►
about the man falling down which i
[TS]
◼
►
believe is from here which was
[TS]
◼
►
yeah it'sit's when the falls on all that
[TS]
◼
►
was left yes it matters anyway I don't
[TS]
◼
►
know how you fall one of the Alliance
[TS]
◼
►
that we used to what shall we hang the
[TS]
◼
►
Holly or each other is one that comes up
[TS]
◼
►
a lot i'm not a huge katharine hepburn
[TS]
◼
►
fan I think she tells I think she I
[TS]
◼
►
think she veers towards the gimmicky I
[TS]
◼
►
mean it's a hell of a screen it's a hell
[TS]
◼
►
of a screen presence but i'm always
[TS]
◼
►
going to prefer Rosalind Russell to
[TS]
◼
►
Katharine Hepburn in terms of grand old
[TS]
◼
►
downs and but i have to say that I can't
[TS]
◼
►
see Roz Russell doing this one and
[TS]
◼
►
there's a point where cats were on
[TS]
◼
►
Elinor's fondly recalling when she went
[TS]
◼
►
on the Crusades because she was a huge
[TS]
◼
►
backup the Second Crusade and she went
[TS]
◼
►
out and it's kind of a big deal but I'm
[TS]
◼
►
and the line is I even made pour lui her
[TS]
◼
►
first husband King of France Louie take
[TS]
◼
►
me on crusade how's that for blast to be
[TS]
◼
►
addressed my maids Amazons and rode bare
[TS]
◼
►
breasted halfway to Damascus Louie had a
[TS]
◼
►
seizure and I damn near died of wind
[TS]
◼
►
burn but the troops were dazzled equinix
[TS]
◼
►
just circle maybe it's in the every line
[TS]
◼
►
is this beautiful setup and the
[TS]
◼
►
knockdown and setup and the knockdown um
[TS]
◼
►
and and the music is fantastic
[TS]
◼
►
I best of all it's not a ren fair or in
[TS]
◼
►
SC a type of oh the nobility is clean
[TS]
◼
►
and and the sets are gorgeous and rumors
[TS]
◼
►
gowns I it's just it's grainy the only
[TS]
◼
►
way you can tell Henry that the king is
[TS]
◼
►
you can be bothered to put on a circle
[TS]
◼
►
and he's just as grainy and and shovels
[TS]
◼
►
everybody else there are dogs sleeping
[TS]
◼
►
under the table people are sleeping on
[TS]
◼
►
piles of strong the Florence is very
[TS]
◼
►
true to life it to what it was and I
[TS]
◼
►
think that had something to it as well
[TS]
◼
►
it's again if you are going if you're
[TS]
◼
►
going home for the holidays only with
[TS]
◼
►
the greatest of reluctance or you are
[TS]
◼
►
stealing yourself for some inevitable
[TS]
◼
►
relative showing up
[TS]
◼
►
watch this movie ahead of time because
[TS]
◼
►
you will be smirking to yourself the
[TS]
◼
►
rest of the holiday season and this is a
[TS]
◼
►
screenplay is James golden who's the the
[TS]
◼
►
brother of william goldman yeah there's
[TS]
◼
►
there's a remake they did a couple years
[TS]
◼
►
ago the BBC did were i believe it's the
[TS]
◼
►
BBC it's patrick stewart as Henry the
[TS]
◼
►
second and Glenn Close is Eleanor I
[TS]
◼
►
haven't worked out for the DVD yet and
[TS]
◼
►
I'd love to see Patrick Stewart I'm just
[TS]
◼
►
not not sure I want to see Glenn Close
[TS]
◼
►
that makes sense but maybe youtube can
[TS]
◼
►
do a mashup where it's patrick stewart
[TS]
◼
►
and Katharine Hepburn that sound again
[TS]
◼
►
gauge but it's well worth i'm not i'm
[TS]
◼
►
not sure returning classic movies is
[TS]
◼
►
going to show it during the holiday
[TS]

[TS]
◼

it out they create new scenery to shoe
[TS]
◼
►
and spin it again and it's historically
[TS]
◼
►
barely accurate peter o'toole is
[TS]
◼
►
fantastic because he makes you what he
[TS]
◼
►
make he makes you understand than half
[TS]
◼
►
of being a king is convincing other
[TS]
◼
►
people that your kingly and then that's
[TS]
◼
►
in the other actors who are stuck with
[TS]
◼
►
planning & Sons actually do a fantastic
[TS]
◼
►
job of explaining how the Plantagenet
[TS]
◼
►
dynasty was kind of do before it started
[TS]
◼
►
because that you know Henry the second
[TS]
◼
►
was kind of the peak of it was all
[TS]
◼
►
downhill after that even though Richard
[TS]
◼
►
was technically the lion-hearted he
[TS]
◼
►
bankrupted England and you know John
[TS]
◼
►
prompted the Magna Carta it's come for
[TS]
◼
►
the dialogue stay for the acting I just
[TS]
◼
►
really this is one of my desert island
[TS]
◼
►
movies as well as one of my Christmas
[TS]
◼
►
favorites so I really love this movie
[TS]
◼
►
you handing back on his heels like Lou
[TS]
◼
►
visualize that's a good sign to know
[TS]
◼
►
that they had it so I had a sort of war
[TS]
◼
►
myself to say Andy shut up because this
[TS]
◼
►
is sort of movie you can spend 30
[TS]
◼
►
minutes talking about another let's say
[TS]
◼
►
we get a word in edgewise is it is an
[TS]
◼
►
intensely solid choice it is also it is
[TS]
◼
►
also on that list of movies where it's
[TS]
◼
►
like okay well i only get it at that's
[TS]
◼
►
great i put in a lot of work together to
[TS]
◼
►
finish this thing on time and got maybe
[TS]
◼
►
another 45 minutes worth of work but
[TS]
◼
►
they're not expecting it till noon and
[TS]
◼
►
that's two or three hours away
[TS]
◼
►
I'm good I'll definitely make this the
[TS]
◼
►
consensus on time like all
[TS]
◼
►
wrap this movies on this my husband and
[TS]
◼
►
I can I know I can't do anything but
[TS]
◼
►
oh damn it will act of god what I do
[TS]
◼
►
it's America know and it's just there's
[TS]
◼
►
it's such a good movie
[TS]
◼
►
oh yeah maybe it really it really
[TS]
◼
►
underscores absolutely like why Peter
[TS]
◼
►
O'Toole is one of the greatest actors
[TS]
◼
►
that that the passing of the years I've
[TS]
◼
►
ever you get that had been working the
[TS]
◼
►
past 50 years because you see him when
[TS]
◼
►
he's on you see like a Richard Harrison
[TS]
◼
►
peter o'toole the other actors like when
[TS]
◼
►
they are mostly down to playing you know
[TS]
◼
►
Richard Harris or peter o'toole exactly
[TS]
◼
►
that you have to see you see him on the
[TS]
◼
►
chalk shows and they have these great
[TS]
◼
►
stories about being drunk actors in
[TS]
◼
►
their early twenties and they're great
[TS]
◼
►
stories but you forget that these are
[TS]
◼
►
these people who were on some sort of
[TS]
◼
►
reality show and that's how the name is
[TS]
◼
►
out there they got there they became
[TS]
◼
►
famous actors after 15 years of nothing
[TS]
◼
►
but great role after great role after
[TS]
◼
►
great role and this my I think I i think
[TS]
◼
►
that this is only my second favorite
[TS]
◼
►
peter o'toole performance beyond the
[TS]
◼
►
only second only to his role in the
[TS]
◼
►
stuntman because if there is ever a
[TS]
◼
►
stuntman te plaît plays he plays as
[TS]
◼
►
that crazy director exactly please King
[TS]
◼
►
in in that movie he plays God in this
[TS]
◼
►
one because he plays a direct a director
[TS]
◼
►
who like within this for this realm is
[TS]
◼
►
like any if I want something to happen
[TS]
◼
►
it happens because I wanted it to happen
[TS]
◼
►
if you're on my set I control and really
[TS]
◼
►
completely you don't know whether he's
[TS]
◼
►
insane or a genius but that is the
[TS]
◼
►
that's the only other roller can say oh
[TS]
◼
►
it's such a hard choice to make between
[TS]
◼
►
those do anyway you can practically see
[TS]
◼
►
Anthony Hopkins picking up tips and his
[TS]
◼
►
scenes quickly and Hawkins has a good
[TS]
◼
►
seem to when to let you have a family
[TS]
◼
►
dynamics put up there are five minute
[TS]
◼
►
there are six main characters Alice the
[TS]
◼
►
mistress Henry and Eleanor the
[TS]
◼
►
squabbling monarch / parents and then
[TS]
◼
►
the three sons Richard Jeffrey the
[TS]
◼
►
conniving little Sun and then John
[TS]
◼
►
two-out-of-three these guys become kings
[TS]
◼
►
the way the way the loyalty split up is
[TS]
◼
►
Richard back to his mother when she
[TS]
◼
►
tried to overthrow Henry and put their
[TS]
◼
►
now deceased brother and put their now
[TS]
◼
►
deceased son Henry on the throne
[TS]
◼
►
there's a lot of Henry's and John back
[TS]
◼
►
his father and Jeffrey plays
[TS]
◼
►
both sides against the middle and
[TS]
◼
►
actually tries to make an end around and
[TS]
◼
►
run around everybody but there's there's
[TS]
◼
►
a scene where Henry is wondering why
[TS]
◼
►
Richard never warmed to him and and why
[TS]
◼
►
there's this huge disconnect and anthony
[TS]
◼
►
hopkins you could have called you could
[TS]
◼
►
have called anytime and i would have
[TS]
◼
►
come to your side and you never once
[TS]
◼
►
looked at me and I've seen this movie
[TS]
◼
►
about I'd say 1015 times and everytime i
[TS]
◼
►
see that seen it still breaks my heart
[TS]
◼
►
and that's because it feels fresh every
[TS]
◼
►
time that it's it's good acting
[TS]
◼
►
it's it's not hackneyed it's not cliche
[TS]
◼
►
it's not one of those things where you
[TS]
◼
►
know what's coming you can practically
[TS]
◼
►
mouth the dialogue it's just it's very
[TS]
◼
►
fresh organic moment and again the
[TS]
◼
►
writing a snap-in brilliant there is not
[TS]
◼
►
a bad performance of a lot the
[TS]
◼
►
historical details really throw you and
[TS]
◼
►
22 of the mindset we understand how it
[TS]
◼
►
can be that parents and children are
[TS]
◼
►
actively scheming to kill each other
[TS]
◼
►
I'm just ended set of Christmas so it's
[TS]
◼
►
best we can but it really basically the
[TS]
◼
►
same plot as Black Christmas so but most
[TS]
◼
►
most film spring spring from Black
[TS]
◼
►
Christmas there are no virgins to be
[TS]
◼
►
killed in this film so you know everyone
[TS]
◼
►
loves her a Jason confused about
[TS]
◼
►
something I think there's still one
[TS]
◼
►
package left to open tonight
[TS]
◼
►
contact it's left to open yes that's
[TS]
◼
►
right we could save for the next night
[TS]
◼
►
of Hanukkah is it isn't alone offers a
[TS]
◼
►
full of burning crap or is it full of
[TS]
◼
►
something delightful it is full of
[TS]
◼
►
delightfully burning crap i have my my
[TS]
◼
►
selections and first I'm going to say
[TS]
◼
►
that that the guy i had to choose
[TS]
◼
►
between two episodes of animated TV
[TS]
◼
►
series that aired on fox
[TS]
◼
►
so it was it was a close one because I
[TS]
◼
►
dearly love and perhaps will induct a
[TS]
◼
►
future holiday movie vault the episode
[TS]
◼
►
of futurama called xmas story where in
[TS]
◼
►
where in Santa is a murderous robot that
[TS]
◼
►
duh strikes fear into the population of
[TS]
◼
►
Earth as he tries to kill everybody
[TS]
◼
►
voice of John Goodman which I believe
[TS]
◼
►
they actually didn't air originally
[TS]
◼
►
because they were afraid of how awful i
[TS]
◼
►
think i confirm this with david cohen
[TS]
◼
►
sorry glinting when I when the
[TS]
◼
►
mysterious came on and
[TS]
◼
►
it was they had a delayed i think a year
[TS]
◼
►
because it was so horrifying and
[TS]
◼
►
terrifying to the studio executives and
[TS]
◼
►
only they could bring themselves to air
[TS]
◼
►
it but by the next year they'd already
[TS]
◼
►
destroyed the show viewership enough the
[TS]
◼
►
studio was willing to bet that was going
[TS]
◼
►
to show it because i didn't think i was
[TS]
◼
►
watching it because Cassandra is like
[TS]
◼
►
weapons and he tries to kill everybody
[TS]
◼
►
that's a and and uh not as good as Black
[TS]
◼
►
Christmas it's it's good and that's how
[TS]
◼
►
they celebrate xmas in the year 3000
[TS]
◼
►
this is they they honor the murderous
[TS]
◼
►
Santa and the the episode here's a
[TS]
◼
►
little trivia bit the episode begins
[TS]
◼
►
with the super title based on a true
[TS]
◼
►
who why but no i'm not i'm not actually
[TS]
◼
►
gonna gonna pick that one instead i'm
[TS]
◼
►
going to pick an episode of the Fox
[TS]
◼
►
animated series the tick called the
[TS]
◼
►
tickle of Santa but it was a saturday
[TS]
◼
►
morning cartoon show on Fox before it
[TS]
◼
►
became a brief and brilliant light
[TS]
◼
►
action comedy on Fox and primetime and
[TS]
◼
►
the animation is crude but the writing
[TS]
◼
►
is incredibly sharp the writing is a
[TS]
◼
►
sharp as the animation is crude and Fox
[TS]
◼
►
actually aired this episode in primetime
[TS]
◼
►
as a kind of a Christmas special and
[TS]
◼
►
it's great it's really clever the idea
[TS]
◼
►
is there's a department store addresses
[TS]
◼
►
a department store Santa and he he he's
[TS]
◼
►
a criminal and he gets accidentally
[TS]
◼
►
electrocuted but rather than dying he he
[TS]
◼
►
has this superpower where multiple
[TS]
◼
►
versions amount of himself created and
[TS]
◼
►
this is created a super villain known as
[TS]
◼
►
multiple Santa multiple Santa decides to
[TS]
◼
►
go of it ultimately to the city dam
[TS]
◼
►
which is hydroelectric power and he's
[TS]
◼
►
going to electrocute himself and create
[TS]
◼
►
an army of millions of multiple Santa's
[TS]
◼
►
each of whom basically just says 00 over
[TS]
◼
►
and over again as they swarmed the city
[TS]
◼
►
creating chaos and and just horrible
[TS]
◼
►
crimes that happen
[TS]
◼
►
so that's that's the that's your
[TS]
◼
►
superhero plot and it has to be thwarted
[TS]
◼
►
by the tech in his sidekick arthur but
[TS]
◼
►
maybe the best thing about it is the
[TS]
◼
►
tech is this character who is a who is
[TS]
◼
►
very innocent and and we learn early on
[TS]
◼
►
in this in this episode that he believes
[TS]
◼
►
in Santa completely you
[TS]
◼
►
is he he's a believer in sand and this
[TS]
◼
►
episode walks a line because it's the
[TS]
◼
►
children's cartoon that adults watched
[TS]
◼
►
include me but it is it was on
[TS]
◼
►
originally in you know the daytime it
[TS]
◼
►
and and so it never takes a position on
[TS]
◼
►
Santa being real or not but the tick
[TS]
◼
►
does the tick believes that's that Santa
[TS]
◼
►
is real and Arthur doesn't and what ends
[TS]
◼
►
up happening is because he's upset that
[TS]
◼
►
the multiple Santa because he thinks
[TS]
◼
►
it's anna turns out it's not Santa
[TS]
◼
►
however Israel and in fact Santa is a
[TS]
◼
►
almost a he's surrounded by Secret
[TS]
◼
►
Service like group of elves and big red
[TS]
◼
►
is on the rooftop big red is coming down
[TS]
◼
►
the stairs now so so big red santa the
[TS]
◼
►
real Santa decides to meet with the
[TS]
◼
►
ticket Arthur and they see his whole
[TS]
◼
►
security contingent which is elves
[TS]
◼
►
literally Secret Service agent elves
[TS]
◼
►
they've got dark glasses and little ear
[TS]
◼
►
pieces and the tip comes and briefs them
[TS]
◼
►
about about how it gives him a pep talk
[TS]
◼
►
and says you got to take care of
[TS]
◼
►
multiple Santa and as he's doing this he
[TS]
◼
►
occasionally just hands presence to them
[TS]
◼
►
just like it here have this and
[TS]
◼
►
communities talk because that's that's
[TS]
◼
►
it Santa Claus right so is taken streets
[TS]
◼
►
like okay Santa Israel and then they
[TS]
◼
►
have to go and they they have to stop
[TS]
◼
►
the multiple Santa and and you know it
[TS]
◼
►
was ridiculous and just I think that the
[TS]
◼
►
the climax at the city damn where
[TS]
◼
►
they've got the hydroelectric plant and
[TS]
◼
►
any and of course it all works out and
[TS]
◼
►
and Santa thanks them for their service
[TS]
◼
►
and all that but i love it because it's
[TS]
◼
►
it's a it's funny it's a it's got a nice
[TS]
◼
►
take not quite as murderous as the xmas
[TS]
◼
►
santa from futurama but still it's funny
[TS]
◼
►
the bad guy is not just one Santa but
[TS]
◼
►
many many Santas and who they're up to
[TS]
◼
►
no good and then the real Santa has to
[TS]
◼
►
come and and give the assignment and
[TS]
◼
►
he's treated with a sort of proper
[TS]
◼
►
reference so it's a it's a it's a gym
[TS]
◼
►
and I think it's on
[TS]
◼
►
I don't know if it's on streaming but i
[TS]
◼
►
know that the tick a season two I
[TS]
◼
►
believe is on DVD of the animated series
[TS]
◼
►
is all on DVD now and i love it and it's
[TS]
◼
►
a great series but the tickle of Santa
[TS]
◼
►
great episode so I want to toss it in
[TS]
◼
►
the vault original comic books i read
[TS]
◼
►
the original cartoon series one area and
[TS]
◼
►
reruns and I even mildly enjoyed the
[TS]
◼
►
crazy live-action series our little
[TS]
◼
►
which I love because the Creator has
[TS]
◼
►
been was last name is lieutenant yeah
[TS]
◼
►
but his thing is you know we were
[TS]
◼
►
negotiating for the cartoon my lawyer
[TS]
◼
►
said just keep something back he was
[TS]
◼
►
going to keep something back so we
[TS]
◼
►
decided to keep back the live-action
[TS]
◼
►
rights because no one's ever gonna make
[TS]
◼
►
a lot of action version of this while
[TS]
◼
►
Ben Edlund who went on to work on Angel
[TS]
◼
►
and firefly believe and also
[TS]
◼
►
supernatural well very clear that the
[TS]
◼
►
tickets a great character and that is a
[TS]
◼
►
don't let don't let the cheap cheap
[TS]
◼
►
animation fool you that the three
[TS]
◼
►
seasons of the animated tick and the
[TS]
◼
►
live-action 1r are great but being
[TS]
◼
►
married holiday everyone was trying to
[TS]
◼
►
think what TV episodes have had TV shows
[TS]
◼
►
with Christmas episodes have I really
[TS]
◼
►
liked my thought about I thought about
[TS]
◼
►
it for a while i was thinking about
[TS]
◼
►
dramas and very special Christmas
[TS]
◼
►
episodes and also kind of modeling
[TS]
◼
►
christmas episode of mash and things
[TS]
◼
►

[TS]
◼
►

[TS]
◼
►
of the Charlie Brown Christmas that
[TS]
◼
►
would be the next place i would go for a
[TS]
◼
►
tad animated Christmas think so strongly
[TS]
◼
►
Caldwell related tick trivia which is
[TS]
◼
►

[TS]
◼
►
