00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:01.720
Come and get me boys.

2
00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:07.559
Every man wanted her stop, but one man dared to

3
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:08.119
love her.

4
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:12.240
Count fall in love with anyone fall from the visionary

5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.599
director of Rum Shakespeare's Rogo and Julia.

6
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:18.760
The music.

7
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:20.960
The Magic.

8
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:31.480
Called Mulan Rouge Only in theaters and on today's episode,

9
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.920
we're going to talk about a film by Baz Lherman,

10
00:00:35.600 --> 00:01:06.519
his two thousand and one high concept comic tragedy Mulan Rouge. Hello, Ladies, Hello.

11
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.640
Hello, Hello, Hello. Make sure it's a film by podcast

12
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:15.680
with an exclamation point. Yeah, this movie has.

13
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:25.159
Has the expert good point listeners. I was sorry, listeners.

14
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:28.319
I was not originally scheduled to appear on this episode

15
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.560
as host, but I gotta tell you. When I saw

16
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:38.280
Amber and Angela backstage disagreeing about certain things on the movie,

17
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.760
I thought I'd mediate to make sure the studio is

18
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.200
still standing when it's over. So I know we're going

19
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.159
to have a great conversation based on messages that have

20
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:52.319
been followed back and forth over the last couple of

21
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:57.239
weeks on social media and in dms. But we'll get that.

22
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.239
We'll get to there first. Before before the starts, flying, ladies,

23
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.760
I want to tell you three things you may not

24
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:07.400
know about Baz Lerman, And I'll even give you a quote.

25
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.919
Mark Anthony Lhman was given the nickname Baz in a

26
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.919
high school on account of his hairstyle looking similar to

27
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:24.319
a popular British children's program puppet called Basil Brush. And

28
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.360
while still in high school, Lherman used a deed poll

29
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.759
to change his name to Basmark, which was a combination

30
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.599
of his nickname and birth name. And since you're about

31
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.560
to ask what is a deed poll, I'll explain that

32
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.800
it's a legal document binding on a single person or

33
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.560
several persons acting jointly to express an intention or create

34
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.719
an obligation. It is a deed and not a contract

35
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:56.520
because it binds only one party. So before you have

36
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.199
your agents come after me with deed polls, just there

37
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.039
with a for next season, you know, and your your

38
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.159
list of demands. What know what? Know what it is though,

39
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.560
Bas Luhrman, Like when I was a boy, I was

40
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:13.280
learning how to play baseball and ride bikes. I don't

41
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.719
know about you, guys. Bas Lehman was learning ballroom dancing

42
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:17.479
as a child.

43
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.680
Yeah, both of his parents for ballroom dancers.

44
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:22.080
Both of his parents. That's pretty cool.

45
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:23.919
Yep, and we can.

46
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.439
I know we'll we'll talk a little bit later.

47
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:25.800
But yeah.

48
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:30.800
His his directorial debut was based on Strict Yeah Ballroom.

49
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.159
Yeah all right. Uh do you guys remember the song

50
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.439
Everybody is Free to Wear Sunscreen that was popular in

51
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:37.280
nineteen ninety nine.

52
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.400
Yes, I had that on my list because it may

53
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:41.800
or may not a situation.

54
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.800
It was, it was. It was played at every graduation

55
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.000
that year. That's bas Lerman. Then I was shocked to

56
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.039
find out that that's you know that that guy use

57
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.520
sunscreen and it's like just a it's a cool beat

58
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.039
with like life advice. I can't believe that's bas Learmon.

59
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:03.599
I dig that though. Now his suggestion on watching Mulan Rouge,

60
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.520
and he actually said this, I'm quoting him from the

61
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.560
audio commentary from the incredible two disc DVD collection, which

62
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.560
is just amazing. Uh. He was they were talking about

63
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.399
how you go into Mulon Rouge. You know, him and

64
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.000
production designer and the DP and the writer. It's a

65
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.959
great audio commentary with all four of them. Bass had

66
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.839
this to say, quote, don't be passive. You've got to

67
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.560
keep up with this, stay awake, You've got to be involved.

68
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.160
You've got to choose to engage in it. You can't

69
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:40.040
sit back and be passive. That's that's bas Lehrmann's advice

70
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:45.839
on how to experience the film mulon Rouge. Amber's already

71
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:47.279
shaking her head.

72
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.519
Cut an hour, I want.

73
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.040
To cut an hour? What here we go?

74
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.839
Everything is boring as shit?

75
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.879
Oh okay, okay, okay.

76
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.600
Well, okay, are you including the old Tango de roxent

77
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:06.240
or ah?

78
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.120
Okay? I didn't have to bust over artillery?

79
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:12.079
Okay.

80
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:17.240
For those of you that were listened back in January,

81
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:23.240
there's a world. There's a world where people like Tom

82
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.439
Hanks in the Da Vinci Code, which was leveled that

83
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:31.519
that city was destroyed by the voice of Vengeance Amber Lewis,

84
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.759
and as they're they're slowly rebuilding and trying to find

85
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:37.839
a new way to live. I'm here to tell you

86
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.759
Amber's ready to demolish another city. I think you know

87
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.600
I'm worried. So before we get into that, though, the

88
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.000
five words synopsis, So let's see who who's got the

89
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.160
best one, Angela, because I know you love the movie,

90
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.600
I'll give you first DIBs. Here. What is mulin Rouge

91
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.000
in exactly five words?

92
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.839
All right, I did a centipile version and then I

93
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:03.680
did a backup.

94
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.800
So Garrett, everyone's got the back I just I just

95
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:09.519
want I just confident.

96
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.680
Yeah, freedom, beauty, truth and love.

97
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:25.439
Well, if you're Garrett Gibson or Bradcoso, then yeah, what's

98
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.959
this movie about? Yeah? Because remember the game is you

99
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.079
got to say you got to describe the movie in

100
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.199
five words exactly. And I then that gives the person

101
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.720
playing like, Okay, that's this movie, you know. So that's

102
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.839
you're you're cheating a little bit there, What's what's what's

103
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:41.319
your backup?

104
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.079
I was just trying to be a little snarky. Cortison

105
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.000
chooses love over riches. That's good.

106
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:50.839
Well, there's a lot.

107
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.399
Of other things involved with yes, but yeah, I think

108
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:54.519
it does generally.

109
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.600
I'm feeling better and better about mine. I was feeling

110
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.639
like I'm tired.

111
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.360
Now I like, I like, I like the Amber's uh,

112
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.120
I like Angela's uh Courtisan version.

113
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.040
Okay, that completely shows like her opinion of this movie.

114
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:20.199
Okay, Okay, so that's you know what. That's interesting. That's

115
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:25.720
interesting because my hold on as uh world renowned psychologist

116
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.720
Amber Lewis might be hoto something here because you know

117
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.040
you you you painted a very beautiful picture of what

118
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.079
this movie and maybe that says something about you. Maybe

119
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:37.920
mine will say something about me. We'll find out, Amber,

120
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:39.480
what is your five words?

121
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.279
Synopsis writer sings to coughing courtesan.

122
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:50.160
Okay, little little darker, little a little more morbid the

123
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.040
coughing courtisan. I mean it's true, it is correct, it's accurate.

124
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.240
Uh yeah, that says something about your thoughts on the movie.

125
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:00.639
I think for sure. All right, I'm will give you mine.

126
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.480
You guys, tell me what you think about this one.

127
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:09.040
I have Bohemian poet loves and loses. I like that.

128
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:10.399
Oh I like that.

129
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:12.240
I feel like that's the ding Ding the winner. Yes,

130
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.560
because it win's one of the only good things about

131
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:15.160
this movie.

132
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.480
So one, well, thankfully we agree with that, because I

133
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.639
was like, please, don't tell me you're gonna bash on

134
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:22.519
because I O.

135
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.000
Well, besides that.

136
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.600
So I gotta I got a question for Amber because

137
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.080
I know she's gonna be a little more critical today.

138
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:39.759
Baz likened Mulin Rouge to Warner Brothers cartoons, The Wizard

139
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:46.679
of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Bollywood, and Benny Hill. Is

140
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.000
it is that a fair pedigree for this film, Amber,

141
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:49.840
I mean.

142
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.080
The Bollywood one hundred percent.

143
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:57.759
Like Oh, Goshaven inspired by that, Yeah, in his idea

144
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.000
for for the movie, So that definitely makes sense.

145
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.480
Yeah, Angela, I know Ambers. I know Amber's answer, so

146
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.480
I'm not gonna ask her. I'm gonna give you this one.

147
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.159
Mulin Rouge is the third film. You guys mentioned this

148
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.440
just just a minute ago. This is the third film

149
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:17.720
in Baz Luhrman's Red Curtain trilogy. It began with Strictly

150
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:21.919
Ballroom in nineteen ninety two, then followed by William Shakespeare's

151
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.559
Romeo and Juliet in nineteen eighty six. Amber are all

152
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:30.639
time most downloaded episode ever, a chartbuster as it were

153
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.840
games you were you were? Can I just brag about you?

154
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.200
You were great on that episode, So, oh thank you.

155
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:39.919
I love that one. I love that one.

156
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.399
It's still got one of my favorite garbage songs Nicole

157
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.200
for that soundtrack, number one, Crush. That is still absolutely

158
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.879
one of my song favorite bangers of absolutely.

159
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.360
But Angela, the question, yes, when you look at the

160
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:57.159
Baz Lherman Red Curtain trilogy, is Mulin Rouge the best

161
00:09:58.159 --> 00:09:59.799
in the in the trilogy or is it Romeo and

162
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:02.120
jul yet, because I can't imagine either one of you

163
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:04.639
are going to say strictly ballroom. I just not being mean,

164
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:05.320
I'm just being.

165
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.080
I did a lot of Yeah, I did that.

166
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:14.799
I enjoyed Strictly ball very much, and like Amber said it, it's.

167
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.879
A lot of fun Romey and Juliet.

168
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:22.240
Obviously that that allowed a bit a very modern take of,

169
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:27.000
you know, opening up that Shakespearean world to a to.

170
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:27.840
A new audience.

171
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:29.879
So I mean, I can appreciate for that, and like

172
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:33.679
I said that, that soundtrack was was pretty bang on.

173
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.320
But I have a lot of certain feelings about Romeo

174
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.200
and Juliet and of itself that has nothing to do

175
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.320
with the film, but you know, that's still going to

176
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.320
kind of influence my decision.

177
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.759
But I would definitely say, mul on interesting.

178
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.919
Would it surprise you talking about Romeo and Juliet. Would

179
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:53.200
it surprise you guys to know that Leo wanted the

180
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.759
role of Christian And Bass said, no, I am.

181
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:57.559
So glad he did.

182
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:03.080
Yeah, okay, I see him anything, but I could not.

183
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.960
Yeah, well, I mean I do like the fact because

184
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.879
they even talk about this on the audio commentary everyone,

185
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:12.440
or at least when this movie was coming out, everyone

186
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:16.159
wanted to know who is singing and who isn't. And

187
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.279
McGregor is singing, kid Min is singing. Everyone else is

188
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.799
like getting some help from other people, but you can

189
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:25.720
hear it, like I think, and I think McGregor is

190
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:32.320
a great singer honestly. Oh well, I'll tell you the biggest,

191
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.440
the biggest swing. The riskiest thing he does is when

192
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.960
he when when he's singing the uh what he used

193
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.679
and stuff? And I'm like, and he holds it, he

194
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:44.279
holds it, he doesn't crack. I was like, wow, all right.

195
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:46.200
I remember watching that and like, you know, I mean

196
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:49.279
obviously he was already obi wan to us with the

197
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.480
Phantom Menace coming out, and I was like, oh damn,

198
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.320
I mean I've seen it, but like trained Spotting and

199
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:56.559
things like that, I was like, oh.

200
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.919
Good, all right, are you guys?

201
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:00.759
Uh anybody else?

202
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.679
Are you? Ladies? Fans of the the beat Nick Bohemian

203
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.919
poet McGregor? Is that like your is that your go

204
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:07.679
to McGregor?

205
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:08.039
Or?

206
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:10.799
Is there is it more obi one? Because I know you,

207
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.840
I know you both are Star Star Wars fanatics, So.

208
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:18.519
I wouldn't necessarily call myself a fanatic. I know a

209
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:19.200
lot about it.

210
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:23.440
I'm I always say I'm more Trek than Star Wars.

211
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:26.960
Well, you're both listen, you're both track he's you're both

212
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:27.720
Star Wars nerds.

213
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:29.159
But I would I love the.

214
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:36.759
Okay, yeah, Amber Amber uh Ewan's coming over, uh for

215
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.279
for a visit? Which which which one's walking in your door?

216

00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:53.840

He can he can sing me your song all day long.

220
00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:57.759
All right.

221
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:02.399
Well, we'll talk more about Hugh McGregor when we get

222
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:08.720
back after these messages. Welcome back. We are talking about

223
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:14.279
Baz Luhmann's Mulin Rouge celebrating its twenty fifth anniversary. I

224
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:15.679
can't believe it's twenty five years old.

225
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.000
It doesn't I can't be either.

226
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.039
Well, you know what I think what you know what

227
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:26.080
I think it is, ladies, is there's no overly young people,

228
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:29.759
no overly older people in this movie. And you got

229
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:33.159
to give credit to like Nicole Kidman, you McGregor, Jim Broadbent,

230
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.159
you know, Richard Rock, like these they kind of look

231
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.759
the exact same. You know, time has been good to

232
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:38.440
all of these actors.

233
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:41.200
I feel like, right, plastic surgery has been good to Nicole.

234
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.720
But yes, still fabulous.

235
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.879
Oh yeah yeah Oowen is his age like fine wine?

236
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:55.279
Yes? All right, you know what. Let's you know, Amber

237
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.720
never really laced up her gloves, so let's the gloves

238
00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:59.360
are off. Let's just let's just get into it. Let's

239
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:02.320
let's start with Nicole Kidmen playing Satine.

240
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:07.039
Now, I've got lots of interesting convo pieces. So Amber

241
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:11.279
chili scoche, Chili scoche.

242
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.360
Let's talk about let's talk about something that would have

243
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:15.159
made Amber happy.

244
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:16.600
Don't pull out.

245
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:22.360
Initially, initially it wasn't Nicole Kidmen. This was this was

246
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:27.759
Kate Hudson's movie. She lost the role when Baz reconsidered

247
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.840
Satine's age because in the original draft, Satine was a

248
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:36.480
nineteen year old woman of the streets, which made Hudson

249
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.960
an ideal choice in two thousand and one, but Baz

250
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.320
decided to aige her up because he had the chance

251
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:46.200
to work with Nicole Kimmen. So Amber with.

252
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.159
Kate Hudson either, I love Nicole Kimmen. I just wish

253
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:53.960
to god anybody would have dubbed her singing like like

254
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:57.879
Leah Slanga is right there? Why why why? Why?

255
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.799
So it's not the performance, it's it's her singing. Is

256
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:01.759
that what I mean?

257
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:05.039
There are there are bits of her performance where like

258
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.120
she needs to spit the scenery out, but mostly no,

259
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:14.000
she's pretty good, but the singing is so goddamn awful.

260
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:16.000
I just can't even.

261
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:22.440
I will admit, yes, it's not the best vocal performance.

262
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:25.480
Or there, I think they got her in totally the.

263
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.759
Wrong key and yeah, I mean that that that's.

264
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.840
Like it's like trying to lame this thing where he's

265
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.080
a baritone. They're trying to game to sing at tenor

266
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:37.000
you know, it's the same thing with her. They've got

267
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.279
her screeching like a and that is not Yeah, she's

268
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:41.399
her jam at all?

269
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.720
Okay? Can we can we respect her work ethic and

270
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:47.159
I'm not talking about herself. Absolutely. She did her own

271
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.919
trapeze work forty feet in the air, which I was

272
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.000
shocked when bas was talking about this on the commentary track,

273
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.320
because they lower her down. She's on that trapee thing

274
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.000
swinging around. That's really her. She trained with the circus

275
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:04.039
performers because she felt it needed to be authentic. She

276
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:08.399
needed you needed to see her perform. I think that's amazing.

277
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:10.559
You know, Yeah, she did that parts done free and

278
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:14.440
of course she got some you know, his bruises and injuries.

279
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.200
You know with that. Yeah, but I don't know if

280
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.919
it was while on set filming Mulin Rouge or if

281
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.000
she met Amber in a dark alley, but she does

282
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.639
end up fracturing two ribs and tears knee cartilage and

283
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.720
fun fact, many scenes that you see of her where

284
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.600
they shoot her from the chest up, she's actually sitting

285
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:38.320
there in a wheelchair.

286
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.000
I read that. Yeah, I didn't have it.

287
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:44.720
Yeah, yeah, Baz was again. I know I'm getting I'm

288
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:47.840
talking about this DVD audio commentary a lot, but it's

289
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:49.320
just one of it's a it's such a good one

290
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:53.159
with these four individuals. But yeah, he he, he was

291
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.159
telling you everything you ever wanted to know or not

292
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.879
know about Mulan Rouge. Have you guys seen Panic Room

293
00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:58.639
with Jodie Foster.

294
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.519
Yeah, now I knew of it, but I know that

295
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.880
was the one that she Nicole couldn't do that movie

296
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:06.599
because he said injuries.

297
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:09.839
Amber, you are spared Nicole Kimmen and Panic Riom because

298
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.279
her injuries forced her out of it. They had to

299
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:17.359
call Jodie Foster to take her place. Yeah, Jody's read.

300
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:17.839
And she's awesome.

301
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:21.400
Well, I know, before we talk about your al boyfriend again,

302
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:24.240
let's talk about the chemistry. Like, tell me about the

303
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.400
chemistry between ewan And and Nicole. Was it there for

304
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:28.079
you guys?

305
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.720
I mean, well, parallel was there in real life.

306
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.359
But oh well, okay, I don't know this. What do you?

307
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:35.359
What do you? What are you? What are you alluding

308
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:35.640
to him?

309
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.880
Oh? That's like the hugest gossip from this movie is

310
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:41.480
that the two of them were hooking up. And that

311
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:43.920
was like the nail in the coffin of her marriage

312
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:47.319
to Tom Cruise and his too, I can't remember his

313
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:48.039
first life's name.

314
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.680
Say yeah they had like wow, kid, I thought they

315
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.519
divorced quite a bit like later, but I don't know, maybe.

316
00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.000
Saying look, it's a rimmor He swears it didn't happen.

317
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:02.799
But I know Nicole, Tom, they were already on there, yeah,

318
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:03.839
on the out.

319
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:08.799
So but that was the rumor was everybody was one

320
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:11.920
hundred percent like, there's no way these two have this

321
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:12.640
much chemistry.

322
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.839
There are you telling me? So? Wait? Well he he

323
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:21.079
breaks up Tom and Nicole. He breaks up Anakin and

324
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:23.240
padme homework.

325
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:26.200
Maybe that's how.

326
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:34.000
I don't know. Okay, Angela, we have sponsors. We gotta

327
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:36.400
you gotta better watch yourself.

328
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:40.160
Exactly.

329
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.720
You two when you get together, just.

330
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:46.279
Just dipping the toe in the water, you think what

331
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:47.160
you want to.

332
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:52.319
Every time I get you guys together, this is like

333
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.640
the more you guys are Yeah, the more you guys

334
00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:59.480
get together, the more it's like we need one of

335
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:11.119
those uh warnings. At the beginning of the episode, like, hey, well.

336
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:15.160
We're still on with Nicole, I wanted to throw out

337
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.519
because I know we talked about like Kate Hudson, who

338
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.799
then you know she eventually popped up in in the

339
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:25.480
movie nine in a small singing role, but a couple

340
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:28.079
other ones that were considered as well were Some of

341
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:29.680
these were really weird.

342
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.960
Kate Winslet, which I love that Kate Winslett, but no

343
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:36.519
Renees Elwigert, but she.

344
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.279
Wanted to do that all.

345
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.839
I loved her as Roxy Hertin in Chicago, so I'm

346
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:46.240
glad she was in that one. I think it's but

347
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:48.240
he also, I know probably a lot of our listeners

348
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:51.039
may not know who this person is, but she's been

349
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:55.880
one of my favorite British singers and performers Sophie Ella Spexter,

350
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:58.079
which she would have been pretty awesome too, But I

351
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:00.400
don't know if maybe it was because she was too

352
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.599
young or not really known for that.

353
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:08.839
To ask this, yeah and take us back, go, let's go,

354
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:11.000
let's go back twenty five years. It's two thousand and one.

355
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.480
If Nicole Kimmen doesn't do this movie? Can I interest

356
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:15.279
you guys in?

357
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:15.480
Like?

358
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:18.359
And I'm saying this because of you know, Angela bringing

359
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.240
up Chicago? Can I can I interest you in? Like

360
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:23.440
a Catherine Zita Jones? She was She played the team.

361
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:23.920
Up for it.

362
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.640
They were considering her and Heath Ledger for the role,

363
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:30.079
and Heath wound up being so mad that Baz didn't

364
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:32.039
choose him that he refused to work with him in

365
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:36.279
the movie Australia. Yeah, Catherine was the epitome of Velma

366
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:38.319
Kelly Huh in Chicago.

367
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:40.160
Yeah, I quit reading my notes is what I said.

368
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:42.839
I want I want to talk about you and like, yeah,

369
00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:47.319
Heath led you said a Heath Ledger. He loses the

370
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.799
role because he was too young, kind of holds a

371
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.720
grudge like forever Baz comes calling, like hey, Australia, and

372
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:57.680
you would think that's the ideal. Heath led your role

373
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.200
and he told him, no, didn't want to. I want

374
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.079
to hear it refused for the two thousand and eight

375
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:03.880
Filmost Tris, and.

376
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:05.920
Thus the Joker was born in the dark.

377
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:09.079
Hey, that was the right.

378
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:11.839
Villain origin story.

379
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.799
Yeah, greatest joker ever. Yeah, I'll take I'll take Joker

380
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:21.480
over heath Ledger, Christian and Mulin Rouge any day. Yeah

381
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:25.079
all right. Uh, we're not gonna be here all night,

382
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:27.839
so let's I'm gonna thought, I'm gonna thought some names.

383
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:31.640
So we got John Lequizamo as help me out here,

384
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:35.960
amber to lose. I got it right, Okay, is a

385
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:36.680
real person.

386
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:39.880
By the way, his painting is behind me in the street.

387
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:43.000
Oh you've got this amazing paint Wait wait, hold on, wait,

388
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:46.680
am I I'm probably wrong. I'm wrong. I see the

389
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:49.200
floorboards on the painting. Now never mind. I thought I

390
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:51.359
was gonna be impressive, but I'm not because I've got

391
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:54.400
the wrong. Have you ever heard that, you know, the

392
00:21:54.440 --> 00:22:00.240
painting the Island of the on the Lagrange Jacht. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

393
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.039
I like that painting, and I thought I thought, wait,

394
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:05.519
did he paint that, but no, I see the floorboards

395
00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:09.359
that they're like, this is the she's doing the king.

396
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:10.799
Oh yeah, she's doing the cant.

397
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:13.279
Can behind my head. But she's doing it so real

398
00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:14.960
guy because uh.

399
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:17.440
Person Harold Zidler. Was he a real guy?

400
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:20.200
Mm hmm yeah, I mean I don't think that was

401
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:21.279
his name, but there.

402
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:25.240
Was a Zidler, okay, because that's who Jim Broadband plays part.

403
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:29.759
Of yeah my notes, But there was a person Zidler okay.

404
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:32.319
So then and then we got Richard Rocksburgh as the Duke,

405
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:36.160
so uh play play Let's see the lightning round here? Uh,

406
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:40.680
your guys, you're alls take Liquizamo. Well, I think I

407
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:41.200
think he's.

408
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.680
Thinking, yeah, thinking of his work in Ruby and Juliet,

409
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:51.799
like where he was so just and here he's so

410
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:54.359
vulnerable and sweet and he.

411
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:58.319
Wants love and you know the art, and drinks too

412
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:00.480
much absinthe angela.

413
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:06.400
No one cares. What's your ridiculous dogma? Moving up? Hey?

414
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:07.880
Richard Rocksburgh as.

415
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:10.000
The Duke, Oh he's so gross.

416
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:14.000
Yes, he plays well, yes, and then it's so funny

417
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.799
then that he's Dracula and van helsing.

418
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:20.279
Hey, I'm gonna tell you right now. I do not

419
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:22.680
like Van Helsing. I think that movie is terrible.

420
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:25.920
Oh I haven't seen it, but don't wait. My son

421
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:28.000
was like, hey, that's Dracula.

422
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:29.960
If you I mean, if you're like, hey, let's get

423
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:31.720
let's get drunk and make fun of him.

424
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:36.680
Sure, Oh well yeah, you know it's like okay, back

425
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:38.160
and so yeah, he's.

426
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:42.519
Not even can save it? Just watch Underworld, you know,

427
00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:44.759
fine for sure.

428
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:47.279
Yeah, I thought that the Duke was just he's kind

429
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:50.640
of boring. He's like a one note kind of villain.

430
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:56.759
I can't and who has no personality, and just yeah.

431
00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:59.680
I can't not laugh hysterically when they're doing the cover

432
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:01.680
of Like a Virgin and that there's that scene where

433
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:02.880
he's on the table and he's doing that.

434
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:08.680
Yeah, you know, it's so ridiculous.

435
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:18.319
So absurd. Yeah, Jim Jim Broadband.

436
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:19.400
So much in movies like this. He always plays the

437
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:22.079
same guy, Like he's the same guy in this that

438
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:23.039
he is in Harry Potter.

439
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:25.799
You guys like him, but is he a bit much

440
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:29.200
like I feel like I feel like we said, hey,

441
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:32.359
could you keep it at like an eight? And he

442
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:35.880
cranked it to like eleven, you know, like his went

443
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:38.640
to eleven, like in.

444
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:41.319
A competition to see, like how batshit crazy can I go?

445
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:45.440
Yeah, yeah, I guess I think it fits more with

446
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:49.680
him than than with her. I still get awkward at

447
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:53.400
that elephant room.

448
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:55.680
That's awful. Yeah, I'm like.

449
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:59.240
Why, I'm like, I don't get it. That's the best

450
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:00.000
you can come up.

451
00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:04.119
With, Broadbent. Here's my theory. I okay, So, first off,

452
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:08.279
credit to the hair and makeup affects people. He spent

453
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.440
two and a half hours every day on set so

454
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:13.680
that they could put him into this padded like fat suit.

455
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:15.559
I had no idea. I just thought he was just

456
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.839
Jim Broadbent. Like he didn't look ridiculous.

457
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:20.880
It's not like, you know, yeah, it wasn't like a

458
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:21.839
clownish kind.

459
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:24.400
Of No, it wasn't. So my thought is maybe he's,

460
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:26.319
you know, just being pent up. He takes two and

461
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:28.119
a half hours to get into his costume. He's he's

462
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:33.359
just gonna go he's gonna go bat shit crazy, he's gonna.

463
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:35.960
I liked it in that form with with him. I

464
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.519
thought that kind of Yeah.

465
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:40.880
I just feel like there's certain scenes where okay, like

466
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:44.440
the Duke's looking for seteene. Yeah, but like I like

467
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:46.640
the Duke's looking for Setine. Towards the end of the movie.

468
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:48.519
He could have been he could have just walked up

469
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:50.839
and said, she's confessing she wants to be ready for you,

470
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:54.240
you know, but it said he goes, he's like shouting

471
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:57.720
at everyone. I'm like, dude, I'm right here, Like I don't.

472
00:25:58.119 --> 00:26:02.519
I mean, you got a little bits based.

473
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:08.400
Yeah, maybe he's he's quite chatty when you watch the

474
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:10.440
audio Comaria so well maybe, but.

475
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:13.559
Also the little creek factor, which you know with the rewatch,

476
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:15.599
I was like, oh, yeah, that is a little weird,

477
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:17.720
you know, when he's checking in on Satin and how

478
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:20.079
she's doing with the Duke and he's got our freaking telescope.

479
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.200
He's a creeper.

480
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:25.839
Oh my goodness.

481
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:28.559
That wasn't by accident. He's not looking for constellations. He's

482
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:33.680
he's looking for something else. Let's talk about the background

483
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:37.440
of this movie, because I know you both. I know Angelia,

484
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:39.720
I know you probably have a couple of things, uh Amber,

485
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:43.039
you might have a few barbs, as it were, a

486
00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:46.799
few few jabs as it were, but uh, as we

487
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:51.200
talked about the film's creation was inspired by Bollywood films.

488
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:56.640
Benjamin Britain's opera A Midsummer Night's Dream and help me

489
00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:04.119
out here, Amber, Giacomo Puccini's opera. Yes, I am ready.

490
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:09.920
I am almost fluent, Amber, I am almost fluent in French.

491
00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:13.559
I know just from doing episodes with you like you

492
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:22.279
you always correct my French dialect. So the market I'm getting, uh,

493
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:24.279
and then the one I really dig And we didn't

494
00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:26.599
really talk about you. Guys were swooning over you and earlier,

495
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:29.039
so we didn't talk too much about what was informing

496
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:33.079
his character. But bas also credits the Greek tragedy of

497
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:38.319
Orpheus in You're a d C. You're thank you. That's why.

498
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:41.720
That's why Amber's here. Everybody, I can't help, but I'm sorry.

499
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:45.000
She's the voice of reason, but.

500
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:46.160
It just happens, the.

501
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:48.759
Voice of reason, but you're also the voice of education.

502
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:50.279
The education.

503
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:55.759
Had fun, entertainment and you know, good good learning.

504
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.000
Yeah. But if you guys know anything about this, this

505
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:03.160
Greek tragedy, all the kings, okay, Amber, you want to

506
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:04.559
tell that, you want to tell the listeners if if

507
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:05.920
they're like, who's Orpheus?

508
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:09.680
Well, the problem is is that Orpheus and Euryticy have

509
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:10.799
like almost nothing.

510
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:13.839
To do well, I'm gonna let me, let me get there.

511
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:20.000
And I'm only tangentially in her, like Amber, plot specific coughing,

512
00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:28.680
but so it's kind of you, but only it's important

513
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:31.039
to the plot. She's like, oh, ship, yeah, I got

514
00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:34.480
a cough Do you want to tell us briefly what

515
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:35.480
what Orpheus is about?

516
00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:39.079
Or you want to you know, Amber, what's what's seven

517
00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:43.200
times seven? Well, if we can talk about ancient for

518
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:46.240
a minute. Orpheus.

519
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:50.640
The story of Orpheus and Eurytic is the story of

520
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:54.079
a boy who falls in love with a girl, she dies,

521
00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:57.079
and he travels to the underworld to bring her back.

522
00:28:57.680 --> 00:28:59.440
You're missing the point where I was gonna, I was

523
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.680
gonna connect the here. What what is his? What is his?

524
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:07.960
His superpowers? Oh, he's a songwriter, the greatest songwriter of

525
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:08.359
all time.

526
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:09.400
Heals the world.

527
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:11.559
He yeah, he heals the word.

528
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.519
So the thing here, Friends, go watch Hadestown, forget Milras

529
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:17.400
and just listen he settle.

530
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:22.119
Hey, okayd be nice, save yourselves, go watch the movie.

531
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:25.240
Move on, okay, okay, hold on, I ynew this is

532
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:28.279
gonna happen with you two. All I'm getting all I'm

533
00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:32.279
getting at is the idea you know, and I know

534
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:34.119
we don't have a whole another hour to talk about

535
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:37.640
the music of this movie. But the whole idea, the

536
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:42.319
whole idea about using popular current music at the turn

537
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:45.039
of this you know, eighteen ninety nine or whatever this is,

538
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:50.880
is that Christian human Gregor's character he is like Orpheus.

539
00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:54.319
He's he's so far advanced in the future, like he's

540
00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:57.880
creating music for these people that they have never heard

541
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:00.359
or never will hear. You know. It's he's he's kind

542
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:00.799
of doing like a.

543
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:05.200
Market you're too lazy creativity that all you want is

544
00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:09.599
a jukebox musical instead of slaying the shit yourself like

545
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:11.960
a really talented person would do.

546
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:15.559
Amber No, it's like it's like that.

547
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.440
There's a scene in the movie Heartburn where they find

548
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:20.319
out they're having a baby and they say, let's sing

549
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:22.839
all the songs we know about babies, and it's funny,

550
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:27.359
and that's this entire movie. Let's sing every song that

551
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:29.200
has the word of love in it, and we're only

552
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:32.880
gonna sing like one sentence. So it just becomes this

553
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:35.440
like string of pop culture references, like how many can

554
00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:36.559
you name in ten seconds?

555
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:39.519
It's awesome, and not every song is about love. They

556
00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:41.440
got the show, queens, the show must go on. One

557
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:42.359
of my favorite parts of this movie.

558
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:43.079
Oh I love that.

559
00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:47.200
Yeah, all right, we're moving on. Because Amber's distant queen,

560
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:49.279
I'm trying to mediate between the two of them.

561
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:52.359
I'm checked out all of it.

562
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.559
Okay, just briefly, just briefly staying with music for a minute. Uh.

563
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:01.119
The Green Fairy played by the minute Kyle An Oak

564
00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:06.880
almost wasn't Kylie Minoak original draft. The Little Fairy is

565
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:11.000
a long haired muscle man, and Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince

566
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:13.680
of Darkness, was hired to do the voice, and he

567
00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:15.880
still gets right to help the film. That would have

568
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:16.359
been awesome.

569
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:18.240
He's giving the idea.

570
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:21.319
He's part of the scream when she turned evil before

571
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:23.680
they start making their way into the movie.

572
00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:29.160
So the one song that Amber, I guess will appreciate,

573
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:30.039
come what may.

574
00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:36.039
Original, original, original, But if it was only sung by

575
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:38.079
anyone else, it is it is amazing.

576
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:42.720
I love the song. It was disqualified from Oscar contention though,

577
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:47.839
because it was not originally created for this movie. Amber, Well,

578
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:49.599
that's an unfair rule.

579
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:50.680
Like, I don't like that rule.

580
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:54.359
Hey, I agree, I agree, was released or anything?

581
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:56.279
It wasn't used in that other movie.

582
00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.680
So I know well that that other movie Romeo and Juliet,

583
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:02.279
it was made for that one and they never they

584
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:07.559
never used it. Yeah, this one, this one, I love.

585
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:11.240
I love this little this little tidbit. So production Baz

586
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:16.680
runs a little over. Uh it's intended schedule at Fox

587
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:20.359
Studios in Sydney. They got kicked out to make room

588
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:23.640
for the next film scheduled to shoot there. And this

589
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:28.519
caused everything and everyone to get uprooted and finish the

590
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:31.960
shoot in Madrid, well everyone except you McGregor.

591
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:32.480
Uh.

592
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:34.559
He had to stay behind because he was in the

593
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:36.559
film that was taking over the studio space.

594
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:37.359
Uh.

595
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:40.519
And that was Star Wars episode two, Attack of the Clones.

596
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.839
The calls Packet, the calls Packeter shut up, and he's

597
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:50.200
just like, hey, uh, I'm Kdobe.

598
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.480
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta put on the robe

599
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.599
and the sandals. Yeah yeah, bust out the lightsaber.

600
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:59.000
Yeah he's going. He's going from the Angela McGregor to

601
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:07.559
the the amber. He's a man, I guess Angela. Any

602
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:11.680
anything you know, I listen, there is a extensive amount

603
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:13.599
of knowledge about the making of this movie. But anything

604
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.119
fun you want to you want to drop on us.

605
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:18.640
Well, obviously it's not just a film, but it was.

606
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:24.400
It's now a very successful theater production. It took him

607
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:29.039
ten years to put the show together and then another

608
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:30.759
six of getting the rights.

609
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:32.960
It's a lot of fun.

610
00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:36.400
Obviously they have upgraded the music. It's still in the

611
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:41.039
same jukebox style, but they have updated it a lot

612
00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:44.279
to match, you know, the modern time. I'll only keep

613
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:48.039
a little bit of the original soundtrack in the film.

614
00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:49.480
It's a lot of fun. I've seen it.

615
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:52.519
I saw it in London's West End where they have

616
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:56.680
a main stay there. It's a it's a beautiful theater.

617
00:33:56.720 --> 00:33:58.200
All that was definitely one of my things was like

618
00:33:58.200 --> 00:33:59.680
I'm going here, I'm like, oh, they got to add

619
00:33:59.680 --> 00:33:59.920
them all.

620
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:03.720
It was just absolutely a ton of fun. That the

621
00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:04.599
cast was great.

622
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:10.400
And then I've seen it on the traveling production here

623
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:12.920
in Ohio down in Cincinnati, did.

624
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:17.280
A fantastic job. Like the choreography is just freaking mind blowing.

625
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:21.400
You mentioned all those dancers and so forth.

626
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:22.039
Let me.

627
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:23.920
I got a question because I was I was doing

628
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:27.280
some research, and you can answer this since you've seen

629
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:32.480
it more than once or twice. My understanding is that

630
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:37.599
Baz goes after the Rolling Stones and says, hey, I

631
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:39.679
want some of your music for the movie, and they

632
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:44.079
are like, no, we're not doing that. But years later

633
00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:46.960
stage it makes it. In the stage, he I guess

634
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:50.000
there's a scene between the Duke and Setne where it's

635
00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:52.760
a medley of symphony for the devil and you can't

636
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:54.960
always get what you want. Is that is that in

637
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:56.079
the stage? Yes?

638
00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:57.159
That is in the stage play.

639
00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:57.400
Yes?

640
00:34:57.480 --> 00:34:58.880
Would I say I would have wanted to hear that

641
00:34:59.039 --> 00:34:59.840
and the Dukes?

642
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.480
Yeah, seeing that, Yeah, basically trying to you know, hey, baby,

643
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:07.960
you know he's I remember correctly. I believe that was

644
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:10.760
Actually I'm not even gonna say it because I feel

645
00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:12.960
like I'm gonna get the timeliner on the stage production.

646
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:16.880
But are we I guess we're better off not having

647
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:19.480
Richard Roxburgh seeing the Rolling Stones.

648
00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:27.639
Yeah. I've heard the the OBC soundtrack of the stage version,

649
00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:32.519
and I can't remember the actor's name that that plays

650
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:36.239
the Duke, but he is he'll make you think twice

651
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:37.519
about telling him No, I'll tell you what.

652
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:42.960
His voice is amazing and his version on the stage

653
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:44.079
is definitely.

654
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:49.480
More like mobster like okay, ooh, I like, yeah, like

655
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:55.800
more Godfather type type. So he's definitely very different from

656
00:35:56.000 --> 00:35:57.400
like the squirmy we like.

657
00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:01.679
This guy has power, he knows, Yeah, he's he's basically

658
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:04.000
kind of like the god Father type.

659
00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:09.400
Doesn't need a man servant like Warner, his own little

660
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:10.079
mini army.

661
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:14.400
But yeah, but he would not be afraid to uh

662
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:16.159
get you in the head himself.

663
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:19.960
Okay with this, Yeah, so he definitely has.

664
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:24.800
A little bit more of that brute Yeah, that fearfulness

665
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:25.960
do not get from.

666
00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:30.559
The all Right, So I know there's a scene that

667
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:33.599
we're all gonna discuss. Maybe we'll be talking about three scenes.

668
00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:35.320
Maybe we'll be talking about one scene. I don't know.

669
00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:41.519
We'll find out when we come back. Okay. So I've

670
00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:43.199
been having a lot of fun with this one this

671
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:48.360
season because it is the scene, and we're gonna choose.

672
00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:50.400
Each one of us have a scene that we want

673
00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:54.360
to talk about. But before we're gonna tell the listeners

674
00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:56.239
what the scene is, we're gonna we're gonna say why

675
00:36:56.440 --> 00:36:59.119
we chose it. So uh, and we've got these these categories,

676
00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:04.000
so uh, Angela wants start with you, and I want

677
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:08.320
you to tell me why you chose your scene is

678
00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:11.960
it for the cinematography. Is it for a strong performance,

679
00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:16.280
A pivotal moment? Did it? Did it piss Amber Lewis off?

680
00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:19.360
That's a that's that that that category is cemented. I'm

681
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:20.199
waiting for somebody to use it.

682
00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:24.159
It made her cut from earlier's comments, so I feel

683
00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:25.599
like that part is at least safe.

684
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:33.559
Yeah, I know, I kind of. I chose Hey, none

685
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:36.280
of your dying coffee during this podcast, ma'am.

686
00:37:41.719 --> 00:37:51.800
Sorry, it's it there, all right, Angel what why why

687
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:53.239
did you pick the scene that you want to talk about?

688
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:56.880
I picked it for all of the above, the editing,

689
00:37:57.000 --> 00:37:59.960
the choreography, the production, in the direction that at the scene.

690
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:05.000
I mean, mcgreg it's fine, but I absolutely love the

691
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:11.719
El Tango Deve Roxanne scene. I they in the stage production,

692
00:38:11.800 --> 00:38:15.880
they they changed it to a backstage romance where they

693
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:17.000
incorporated Lady Gaga.

694
00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:20.119
All right, well, hey, we're on the movie.

695
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:23.519
I know, I'm just giving some extra little tippets.

696
00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:26.360
He doesn't.

697
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.840
He just like, I'm sorry, but okay, it's for everything,

698
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:32.880
and it's also very pivotal, you know, it's telling and

699
00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:35.440
moving the story along through the lyrics of the dance.

700
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:36.079
I mean, I just think the.

701
00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:38.960
Choreography is amazing, and it's also pivotal moment because that's

702
00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:42.320
the part where the production is at a standstill because

703
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:44.880
they need to wait. Well, which direction is their story

704
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:48.320
going based on Seteen's success.

705
00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:50.480
With the Duke? Are we going to have the indie

706
00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:52.000
the Duke's way or.

707
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:54.800
The way it was? I'm gonna going off topic here.

708
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:58.039
You remember the beginning or you know, close to the

709
00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:01.519
beginning of Jurassic Park, when the the game, Warden's like, clever,

710
00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:05.960
go I never said that you had to pick just one,

711
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:08.360
so you've you've out smart to me there. You're like,

712
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:12.360
I'm picking it for everything, you know. It's like I'm

713
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:14.639
raising fine prince, and I'm like, yeah, I goesn't say

714
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:16.880
that you can choose one. So well done, I mean

715
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:17.119
it was.

716
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:19.840
It's just my favorite. It just happens to check a

717
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:20.400
lot of them.

718
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:22.400
It does check all the boxes that yeah, this is

719
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:24.960
uh yeah, that that whole It.

720
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:26.880
Wasn't trying to be sneaky with it. It just happens.

721
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:28.199
It is sneaky.

722
00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:30.159
You were clever, you know what you are.

723
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:31.920
It is my favorite scene.

724
00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:35.000
It is a good scene. It's a good scene. Uh, Amber,

725
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:38.119
I know you're gonna say whatever the hell you want

726
00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:39.960
to say. So just what what's your scene? Like, did

727
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:42.039
you do you? Did it piss you off? Or is it?

728
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:45.000
Ah? No, it's it's one that that actually did not.

729
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:51.280
And it's interesting because this is gonna really get everybody.

730
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.840
Not the biggest outon John fan in the world over here,

731
00:39:56.519 --> 00:40:00.840
Bernany Tobin's lyrics are just jibber jabber. But the scene

732
00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:04.960
when Ewin sings your song and the camera pans out

733
00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:07.159
of the elephant and you see Paris and all the

734
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:10.320
lights come on, Like, I got goosebumps. That is the

735
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:11.639
most beautiful moment.

736
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:13.000
Damn good moment.

737
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:17.159
I absolutely literally got goosebumps. It was It was beautiful.

738
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:21.039
And I love him singing that song, like his youthful

739
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:25.559
exuberance and he's so happy and just into you know,

740
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:29.239
everything he's feeling. And I just love that moment.

741
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:32.400
Amber am I out of line saying that I'll take

742
00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:35.039
the Hugh McGregor cover over Elton John's original.

743
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:37.360
Guess yeah.

744
00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:42.760
Good. You mentioned how they're panning out and you see Paris.

745
00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:47.639
What blows my mind because they talked about it at length.

746
00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:51.159
We're not really doing a bunch of CGI stuff. This

747
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.719
is a just a set of miniatures on top of

748
00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:58.639
a set of other miniatures. And like the Elephant, I.

749
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:02.599
Wondered, because it has a very like Disney Dark Ride

750
00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:04.039
Peter Pan's Flight kind.

751
00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:07.760
Of And what's crazy is so like the Mulin Rouge

752
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:12.599
itself is it's a four walled set that has no ceiling,

753
00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:15.360
so they use the red draped curtains to block and

754
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:18.159
hide a lot of stuff. And then the giant sixty

755
00:41:18.199 --> 00:41:21.840
foot elephant that Setine lives in is a giant sixty

756
00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:24.920
foot elephant that they've got sets inside of it. Yeah.

757
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:28.280
I mean so when you it does have like this,

758
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:31.000
like you know, like you said, like that like the

759
00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:34.800
Disney Ride vibe to it because it's real stuff. It's

760
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:37.440
just real miniatures that they that they use. I love

761
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:42.039
it about the cinematography and the set design just amazing.

762
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:46.320
Then the Moon starts to saying like, yeah, little.

763
00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:49.840
Mustache showed Moon. Yeah, that dude's awesome. Yes, all right,

764
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:52.719
so I'm gonna give you mine, and I chose mine

765
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:56.239
for performance. Uh And I'm talking about the scene where

766
00:41:56.239 --> 00:42:00.480
they are pitching spectacular spectacular to the Duke and it's

767
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:05.760
it's almost claustrophobic but not in a a negative way

768
00:42:06.199 --> 00:42:08.800
because there are so many actors working in sync here.

769
00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:11.719
And I'm not specifically talking about the singing and dancing.

770
00:42:11.760 --> 00:42:14.079
I'm talking about how the scene is blocked in this

771
00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:17.880
tight four wall set and everyone has to have a

772
00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:21.559
rhythm and everything has to have a rhythm or it's

773
00:42:21.559 --> 00:42:24.519
a total mess because while you might be focused on

774
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:29.760
Jim Broadbent, who's front and center, you know, uh, John

775
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:33.119
Leguizambo's crew, they're they're they're bouncing around the background too.

776
00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:35.960
They have to be in time with everything, and it's

777
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:39.360
it's amazing, you know. And they talked about the rehearsal

778
00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:42.039
process because like you can't do something like this because

779
00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:44.920
it's it's a lot of steady shots. It's like there's

780
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:46.119
not a lot of broken moments.

781
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:51.360
Well and there's something going on that set like ewhere.

782
00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:53.119
Oh you know what. I didn't even pay attention to

783
00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:55.360
this until they pointed out to me the set designer

784
00:42:57.320 --> 00:42:59.199
on the the in flight movie, Like when you know,

785
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:01.840
movies have to go through a certain kind of MP

786
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:04.800
double A but for the airlines, and they were like, hey,

787
00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:07.639
we got to fix some of your backgrounds. So inside

788
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:10.639
the Elephan the Elephant. Next time, you guys watch it

789
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:13.239
and for Amber it probably won't be anytime soon. But

790
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:15.119
the next time you check it out, there is a

791
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:18.960
ton of Karma Sutra stuff all over the walls. There

792
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:26.360
are naked people doing naked things. Yeah, yeah, like naked things. Yeah.

793
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:29.159
But I was like, oh, look at that, and bad like,

794
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:30.760
oh yeah, there's one. There's one right there. Look, you

795
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:31.480
know he's pointed out.

796
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:34.039
If you're watching it, it's like the little Easter eggs.

797
00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:35.920
Yeah, a little little Easter eggs. If you want some

798
00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:41.440
some like sixteen hundreds porn. Uh, check out Ulan Rouge setines.

799
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:44.039
She's a kinky one. She's got all kinds of stuff

800
00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:47.239
on her walls. So all right, let's uh, let's run

801
00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:48.159
the numbers on this one.

802
00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:48.679
Uh.

803
00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:53.119

Yeah, I forget that.

832
00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:22.360

Are you kidding me?

834
00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:24.639
Yeah?

835
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:26.119
Deuce Bigelow, male jiggle?

836
00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:28.920
Oh what how about some more numbers? Amber? You got

837
00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:31.360
more numbers for us? Because that's that one was as

838
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:31.760
her mine.

839
00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:34.559
But Angela's got the box office for us.

840
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:38.400
Got a. It was on a budget of about fifty

841
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:40.840
three million, and the box office was one hundred and

842
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:42.440
seventy nine worldwide.

843
00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:44.599
It did, it did alright, then it sounds like.

844
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:45.400
It did fairly well.

845
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:48.679
And then of course the soundtrack had massive commercial success,

846
00:45:48.760 --> 00:45:53.079
so it went platinum uh several times over in the

847
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:57.519
US and Australia and in uh Europe, and and then

848
00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:00.800
the musical itself has since profited about two d and

849
00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:01.760
seventy seven million.

850
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:04.840
Well, I've got a I got a couple. I'll add

851
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:07.480
a couple numbers, uh, just to just to make it

852
00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:11.880
a well rounded running of the numbers. Eighty people were

853
00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:17.199
hired to create three hundred costumes for this, uh, this

854
00:46:17.320 --> 00:46:21.039
little musical. All right, then I'll tell you what, ladies,

855
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:23.480
let's take uh, let's take one last break and then

856
00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:28.320
we'll wrap things up. Okay, this one, I'm gonna be honest.

857
00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:31.639
I struggle with a little bit because Baz Luherman is

858
00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:38.519
not known for making small, unknown, underrated movies. And you

859
00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:40.719
know this season where we're flipping things because we're talking

860
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:44.400
about big budget, blockbuster type films, and then we're trying

861
00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:48.760
to recommend something that's a little more underrated not easy sometimes,

862
00:46:48.840 --> 00:46:53.519
and I've got one. I don't know what you guys got,

863
00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:56.440
but uh, I'll ask. I'll ask Amber first. Uh, Amber,

864
00:46:56.480 --> 00:47:00.719
written by, directed by, or starring, you have an underrated

865
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:02.480
project from a Bass that you would recommend.

866
00:47:03.239 --> 00:47:06.000
I mean, I'm not even gonna bother with underrated, because

867
00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:10.159
everybody needs to watch The Great Gatsby because it is

868
00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:14.760
one of my favorite books. It is the best novel

869
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:18.039
to screen adaptation I've seen in a very long time.

870
00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:22.719
Everything about it I just absolutely adore. And I can't

871
00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:25.480
stand Toby maguire, so the fact that I can see

872
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:29.199
a movie where he's like the lead and carrying the

873
00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:33.440
whole thing, playing like not a likable character, so there's

874
00:47:33.480 --> 00:47:36.400
even less to like. I just watched it again the

875
00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:39.360
other night, and I just love everything about it.

876
00:47:40.239 --> 00:47:42.960
I am going to double down on this with Amber.

877
00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:46.880
Twenty Thirteen's to The Great Gatsby written by and directed

878
00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:51.199
by Bass, And You're right, Amber, this is an amazing cast.

879
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:57.760
I enjoy everyone, Kerrie Mulligan, Leo Toby, Joel Edgerton. I'm

880
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:03.199
a big Edgiton guy. Great Gatsby two Oscar wins Best

881
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:08.079
Costume Design, Best Art Design, both going to Catherine Martin,

882
00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:12.360
who just happens to have won two Oscars for Mulin

883
00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:16.159
Rouge for you Guessed It, Costume Design and Best Art Direction.

884
00:48:16.880 --> 00:48:20.119
And his wife, she's Bass's wife.

885
00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:27.639
Spectacular, Well, thank god, she's talented. Can you imagine she

886
00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:30.719
gets the job because she's his wife that she's like terrible?

887
00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:34.840
Isn't Christopher Nolan's wife?

888
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:40.239
That's producer, producing partner?

889
00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:43.360
Okay, okay. I couldn't quite remember what her but I

890
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:45.400
knew she Yeah, she had a sign.

891
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:49.280
But they're they're marrying brilliant, talented woman. It's fabulous.

892
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:55.360
Yeah, Angela your choice, Written by, directed by, or starring.

893
00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:57.679
What Bazz Learman project would you recommend?

894
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:01.159
Well, he he wrote and directed it, but I would

895
00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:03.480
go with his directorial debut, The Strictly Ballroom.

896
00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:05.760
It has a lot of fun. I mean it's mostly

897
00:49:05.800 --> 00:49:09.719
an Australian cast. I don't know how popular it got

898
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:13.239
over here. I mean, I mean I was like twelve

899
00:49:13.239 --> 00:49:13.880
when it came out.

900
00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:17.320
It was yeah, it was niche market.

901
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:19.639
Yeah, and I kind of and tell you how I

902
00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:22.280
kind of came up. I don't remember how how I

903
00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:25.400
came across it. I just remember somehow, you know, watching

904
00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:27.119
it and I'm like, this is just it was a

905
00:49:27.199 --> 00:49:27.760
lot of fun.

906
00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:28.519
It was a little different.

907
00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:30.440
I didn't know any of these you know people that,

908
00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:33.000
like I said, it's it's basically an Australian you know

909
00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:37.639
cast and uh you know, and I, like we talked

910
00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:38.199
about earlier.

911
00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:39.239
It's a lot of fun.

912
00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:42.840
It's uh it's a nice you know, romantic comedy with

913
00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:46.239
lots of great you know, ballroom dancing. And it's basically

914
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:49.000
this pro dancer decides to do something a little different

915
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:53.719
and unconventional with a brand new dance partner into a competition.

916
00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:56.400
So it's a lot of fun to do and it's

917
00:49:56.480 --> 00:49:59.400
like over the top, but like also that's really what

918
00:49:59.559 --> 00:49:59.880
it's like.

919
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:01.880
Yeah, so you know it's.

920
00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:02.599
Yeah a little bit.

921
00:50:03.280 --> 00:50:06.559
Yeah, it's almost like one of the world like reality

922
00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:09.239
type like pageantry type shows, you know things.

923
00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:13.079
So you got you know that one Crazy Blonde Girl.

924
00:50:13.199 --> 00:50:15.960
But it's streaming free right now.

925
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:19.440
So okay, So I would ask this because I think

926
00:50:19.559 --> 00:50:22.760
the two of you know me pretty well. I intend

927
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:25.599
to see you guys have seen it. I have never

928
00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:28.119
seen it, but I need to see it to complete

929
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:31.360
the Red Curtain trilogy. Am I am. I gonna enjoy it.

930
00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:32.480
I think.

931
00:50:32.920 --> 00:50:36.119
I think it's funny, it's got it's got good humor,

932
00:50:36.239 --> 00:50:39.480
it's got hard, it's got you know, you know, exaggerated,

933
00:50:39.559 --> 00:50:41.320
it's it's okay, and you don't have to worry so

934
00:50:41.480 --> 00:50:42.199
much about.

935
00:50:42.119 --> 00:50:45.280
You know, well, it didn't need a big, huge name cast.

936
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:47.800
It was I haven't seen and it's like ninety minutes

937
00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:48.679
you're in, you're out your.

938
00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:52.599
Well, I'm just gonna be fair too to bass. I

939
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:55.159
haven't seen a bas learning movie that I haven't enjoyed.

940
00:50:55.599 --> 00:50:57.880
You know, some of them. I loved some of them.

941
00:50:57.920 --> 00:50:59.760
Like that's all right, I'm good with that.

942
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:03.320
Yeah, I mean I trashed this one, but like it's fun,

943
00:51:03.559 --> 00:51:05.760
Like the whole beginning is a hoot, you know.

944
00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:10.719
So on that note, uh, Amber, uh your recommendation? Would

945
00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:13.119
you would you recommend Mulan Rouge to someone if they've

946
00:51:13.159 --> 00:51:15.280
never seen it and they're like what is this all about?

947
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:16.840
Like are you going to give them time to give

948
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:17.239
it a chance?

949
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:21.400
Or yeah? I would, because it's hard to get people

950
00:51:21.559 --> 00:51:25.719
into musicals. Yeah, and they can be very like resistant,

951
00:51:26.239 --> 00:51:28.920
and a jukebox musical is not a bad way to

952
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:32.280
go because it's familiar, it's things, you know, these are

953
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:35.920
people that you know, and it's a you know, it's

954
00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:38.199
a good time. I hate that it's so long. It's

955
00:51:38.280 --> 00:51:39.320
so damn long.

956
00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:43.199
You you mentioned, you mentioned the musical thing, and I

957
00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:46.599
didn't this kind of bring musicals back back in a

958
00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:48.239
way because like it wasn't correct me if I'm wrong,

959
00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:50.440
But wasn't like Beauty and the Beast the last musical

960
00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:53.760
to be even nominated for Best like in ninety one,

961
00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:55.960
it was like ten years earlier that it was a

962
00:51:56.000 --> 00:52:00.880
decade or yeah, okay, all right, Angela, Yeah, you have

963
00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:05.280
seen the production, the stage show several times. You went

964
00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:09.159
to London, you know, you you are a diamond dog.

965
00:52:09.599 --> 00:52:12.599
So you're saying, you're saying, now this isn't don't watch

966
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:13.280
it right or are you?

967
00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:15.800
Oh yeah, no, it's a total total waste of time. No,

968
00:52:18.480 --> 00:52:19.679
definitely check out the movie.

969
00:52:19.719 --> 00:52:21.559
But if you do have a chance to see the

970
00:52:21.599 --> 00:52:24.239
stage production, it's it is a ton of fun. And

971
00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:27.519
like I said, they do they have updated the soundtrack

972
00:52:27.679 --> 00:52:34.000
so it's, you know, so newer audiences can enjoy and recognize,

973
00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:37.280
you know, the variety of singers that.

974
00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:41.079
Are included that from the last decade. It's it's a

975
00:52:41.199 --> 00:52:42.039
ton of fun. They do.

976
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:47.000
I mean, a fantastic job with with everything. And and

977
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:51.039
also they made Christian actually hail from Ohio Go Bucks,

978
00:52:51.440 --> 00:52:54.159
all right, yeah, they made them come from the Midwest

979
00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:55.880
versus a love like in the film.

980
00:52:56.000 --> 00:52:58.079
So when they said that when I was a London

981
00:52:58.159 --> 00:52:58.920
stitch pruction.

982
00:52:58.760 --> 00:53:01.239
I was like, yeah, it's awesome.

983
00:53:01.559 --> 00:53:06.719
Okay, representing Mulan Rouge, I never would have thought that comment.

984
00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:08.119
They didn't have it.

985
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:08.920
I didn't either.

986
00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:12.199
Yeah, they didn't have him have he was American accident everything.

987
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:15.039
I was like, oh, dang, okay, all right, Uh, it's

988
00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:17.920
it's bul just streaming on Netflix. Is that where you

1002
00:53:55.639 --> 00:53:58.199
think is awesome. Has a wealth of extras. If you're

1003
00:53:58.239 --> 00:54:00.360
so inclined to know everything, and I do mean everything

1004
00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:04.679
about Mulin Rouge. You'll find out in uh in this,

1005
00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:09.519
in this set. Next time on a film buy, we'll

1006
00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:14.159
be talking about Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion. I

1007
00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:16.480
have not seen it. Amber has been twisting my arm

1008
00:54:16.519 --> 00:54:17.920
for a while, and it just so happens.

1009
00:54:18.039 --> 00:54:18.159

we'll be talking Robert Oltman. I don't even know if

1045
00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:07.079
I don't even know what it's about. I'm gonna I'm

1046
00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:08.840
not gonna watch a trailer. I'm just gonna go win

1047
00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:12.599
cold and just watch the film see what happens. But

1048
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:16.079
thank you, thank you for for being here today, and

1049
00:56:16.199 --> 00:56:19.000
thank you. Like you definitely I feel like based on

1050
00:56:19.079 --> 00:56:23.440
what I was reading off off Mike the past two weeks,

1051
00:56:23.480 --> 00:56:27.079
I feel like you definitely were much more reserved, uh

1052
00:56:27.480 --> 00:56:28.920
than I thought you were just gonna come in and

1053
00:56:29.159 --> 00:56:32.239
go full Godzilla on Nicole Kevin and just torched this movie.

1054
00:56:32.280 --> 00:56:34.079
But I even had I.

1055
00:56:34.119 --> 00:56:36.280
Even had like a like an Olive Bridge because I

1056
00:56:36.559 --> 00:56:39.559
went back as like, who else was nominated that year.

1057
00:56:41.360 --> 00:56:46.679
For Best Actress? And and honestly I still stand by that.

1058
00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:50.639
I don't think Caller Berry want it. But Reneeselweger was

1059
00:56:50.719 --> 00:56:53.599
up for Bridge Jones Iary that I absolutely loved. That's

1060
00:56:53.639 --> 00:56:56.000
one of my favorite movie series.

1061
00:56:56.119 --> 00:56:58.000
And and her and what she did for that Cissy

1062
00:56:58.079 --> 00:57:01.360
Spasic in the Bedroom, which is a Nuther movie because Jeff, you.

1063
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:03.920
And I are be covering now we're talking about that one, yes.

1064
00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:07.199
And then Judy Dench and Iris, which was fantastic, and

1065
00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:12.280
uh actually for that one jan Jim Brobitt what won

1066
00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:16.559
the OSCAR for Best Supporting Actor in Iris that year

1067
00:57:16.599 --> 00:57:20.159
he was nominated for Mulan But Jim Brobent was, Oh, I.

1068
00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:23.400
Feel bad now because I was like, because Dame Judy

1069
00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:24.880
Dench is amazing no matter.

1070
00:57:24.760 --> 00:57:26.480
What she does, and that's a great movie.

1071
00:57:26.559 --> 00:57:28.480
And then I was like, you said, Iris, I was like, wait,

1072
00:57:28.559 --> 00:57:32.599
what's I I distinctly remember last month I was talking

1073
00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:36.320
about Jim Brodbent and Irish me and Garrett because we

1074
00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:38.079
were talking about like who should have won what, And

1075
00:57:38.159 --> 00:57:40.360
I was like, Iris, I mean it's.

1076
00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:41.920
Been a minute since. Yeah, I've watched it, but I

1077
00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:42.599
do remember that.

1078
00:57:42.960 --> 00:57:46.880
I retract my my comment on Iris now that I

1079
00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:48.239
know that Dame Judy Dench is.

1080
00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:52.000
I like Nicole. I was happy when she won for

1081
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:53.320
the hours. I love that movie.

1082
00:57:53.440 --> 00:57:55.599
So see. My only thing with that is because she

1083
00:57:55.800 --> 00:57:59.480
was only in it for like five minutes.

1084
00:57:59.599 --> 00:57:59.920
But she.

1085
00:58:01.519 --> 00:58:03.639
And I didn't. And I'm not saying that she wasn't.

1086
00:58:03.800 --> 00:58:06.519
I just I don't know. I I just felt like,

1087
00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:09.079
if she was gonna win it for one, but you know,

1088
00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:09.760
win it for this.

1089
00:58:09.920 --> 00:58:12.519
But looking at the actual list, I would have gone

1090
00:58:12.599 --> 00:58:15.840
with pretty much anyone except for halle Berry in that

1091
00:58:15.960 --> 00:58:18.719
particular movie, not that she's not a great actress.

1092
00:58:18.800 --> 00:58:21.719
But I was like, get get it out of your system.

1093
00:58:21.719 --> 00:58:23.400
You've been for months now, you've been wanting to fight

1094
00:58:23.440 --> 00:58:26.679
about halle Berry. So you're like, I'll get to it

1095
00:58:26.719 --> 00:58:27.960
when we talk about Mulin Rouge.

1096
00:58:28.159 --> 00:58:30.559
I'll tell you she's I'm not saying she's a bad actress.

1097
00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:33.679
I just in that in that group of those movies

1098
00:58:33.880 --> 00:58:36.119
and the performances, she should not.

1099
00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:38.719
I don't know, I think she should have. But we'll

1100
00:58:38.760 --> 00:58:41.519
fight about that at a different time. Angela, you've been

1101
00:58:41.559 --> 00:58:44.800
giving us some fantastic movie reviews on our website with

1102
00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:48.960
your column. A typical film review. Uh, sometimes a little cheeky,

1103
00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:52.519
but but always very insightful. And I love what you're doing.

1104
00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:53.679
I appreciate it.

1105
00:58:54.199 --> 00:58:56.880
We got we gotta, we gotta, we gotta, we gotta

1106
00:58:56.880 --> 00:58:58.599
finish this. But I'll give you a quick I'll give

1107
00:58:58.599 --> 00:59:01.320
you a super quick movie review. I saw this when

1108
00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:06.000
it came out last month, and Sam Raimi's new film

1109
00:59:06.119 --> 00:59:12.199
called Send Help, and I'm gonna tell you he's here's

1110
00:59:12.239 --> 00:59:14.639
my spoiler, free of you, and it's specifically for you too.

1111
00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:19.360
It is the most Amber and angela Ish movie you

1112
00:59:19.440 --> 00:59:26.760
will watch this year. Like Rachel McAdams is playing, she's

1113
00:59:26.840 --> 00:59:29.679
kind of well, I don't want her to be playing

1114
00:59:29.719 --> 00:59:32.079
you guys, but you guys will cheer for her like

1115
00:59:32.159 --> 00:59:33.280
you guys will be rooting her on.

1116
00:59:33.800 --> 00:59:35.440
Is it as good as drag me to Hell?

1117
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:39.199
That's not fair. I mean, Sam Raimi's awesome, but it's

1118
00:59:40.199 --> 00:59:43.920
I'll say this again, spoiler free. You're gonna see a

1119
00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:47.679
movie where a bad guy goes up against a bad

1120
00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:52.039
guy and you have to determine where your allegiance falls,

1121
00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:55.800
like like who Who's who's the better of the bad guys?

1122
00:59:57.199 --> 00:59:58.760
The lesser of two evils, the.

1123
00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:00.960
Luster of two evils, because you if you watch the trailer,

1124
01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:05.880
you're like, this guy's a dick and this poor administrative

1125
01:00:05.880 --> 01:00:08.079
assistant or secretor or whatever she is, like she's getting

1126
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:11.920
crapped on and oh, now the table's turn. But maybe

1127
01:00:13.679 --> 01:00:16.480
maybe she's not. Maybe there's more to it. Yeah, I

1128
01:00:16.559 --> 01:00:18.079
think you guys would love to hear you, guys. I

1129
01:00:18.199 --> 01:00:20.360
was curious to talk about this one. Yeah, it's a

1130
01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:23.800
good fun movie. Definitely a fun movie. Uh, you know,

1131
01:00:23.840 --> 01:00:27.320
I want to thank you both. And I imagine, or

1132
01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:29.880
at least I hope to imagine that the next time

1133
01:00:29.880 --> 01:00:33.360
we're all three together, you guys will probably be even

1134
01:00:33.440 --> 01:00:36.679
more agreeable. Or maybe maybe you won't. I don't know,

1135
01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:41.360
but we're doing a top ten favorite Meryl Street Rolls episode,

1136
01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:44.159
you guys are you're going to create this, this top

1137
01:00:44.239 --> 01:00:46.960
ten list. I'm excited to see which, uh, which one

1138
01:00:47.039 --> 01:00:49.039
you come up with, because, as you guys know, you know,

1139
01:00:49.239 --> 01:00:51.280
earlier this month we talked about the Devil Worst Product.

1140
01:00:51.320 --> 01:00:53.960
I had never seen it, I loved it, and I

1141
01:00:54.039 --> 01:00:59.400
thought Meryl was just amazing in it. So well, I run,

1142
01:00:59.559 --> 01:01:02.920
I run hot like Devil Wars Prada and River Wilde

1143
01:01:03.000 --> 01:01:06.480
and death becomes her. Sometimes I'm like, I don't care.

1144
01:01:07.159 --> 01:01:08.840
Yeah, yeah, the new Barrow Street movie.

1145
01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:10.440
So we'll see, We'll see what you guys come up with.

1146
01:01:11.559 --> 01:01:13.719
