or with hey, because I am actually.

00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.000
Currently having a Margarita.

9
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:35.320
Okay, good to know. Next time on on Hey, I

10
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:36.240
can walk back.

11
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.399
I can talk you. Oh hell yeah, hell yeah.

12
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:44.600
In medieval times, a sport arose embraced by noble and

13
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.240
peasant fans alike. The only noble knights could compete. The

14
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:54.359
sport was jousting. Angela, let's talk about a film by

15
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:59.479
Brian Helgeland, his two thousand and one medieval anachronistic action

16
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:29.640
film maybe action comedy, A Night's Tale. Hello everybody, I'm Jeff.

17
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.359
Johnson and I'm Angela Norris.

18
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.319
And this is a film by Podcast. So last week

19
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.799
we began our month of nas Knights and Nascar with

20
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.719
two thousand and one's The Fast and the Furious. This

21
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:48.239
week we shift our focus to nights and maybe one

22
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:53.879
of my all time favorites for this genre. Angela. Yes, okay,

23
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:58.439
So if you're talking about movies about knights, I think

24
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:04.519
maybe the top three has to be ex Caliber Kingdom

25
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.240
of Heaven, the Director's Cut, Mind You, and Monty Python

26
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:08.919
and The Holy Grail.

27
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.400
I was gonna say if you didn't mention that one

28
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.360
in the top three, I was gonna be teeky. Yeah.

29
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.199
Yeah, Yeah, that's that's a pretty good cover.

30
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.360
Yeah, this one, this one, I mean the first joust

31
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.879
with when William William takes over and the crowd is

32
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:30.639
doing that we will rock you. This the clap and

33
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.520
the stomp and we hear queens, we will rock you.

34
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.280
The movie wins me over immediately first time I see

35
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.680
it back in two thousand and one, and I'm like, wait,

36
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:41.199
what are we doing? You know? And I kind of

37
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.719
mentioned this is a an anachronistic movie because it's a

38
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.120
little it's using music that's out of place at a time.

39
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.240
This has got an incredible rock soundtrack, and I know

40
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.360
we're going to talk about that, but I just it's

41
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:53.560
just such a fun movie.

42
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.759
Yes, I think they did a great job with that.

43
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:57.960
And even the director when he was told why didn't

44
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.000
you use an orchestra. He's like a show's work around

45
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.639
on the fourteenth century either.

46
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.560
So, you know, while we do see those types of

47
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.960
movies set with a really good, you know, orchestral soundtrack,

48
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.240
you know, that was the argument for that, which is true.

49
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.759
Yeah, so I think with the.

50
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.800
You know, it being a good story about you know, friendship,

51
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.560
you know, a guy trying to change his stars and

52
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.000
his you know, and and be be the master of

53
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:31.199
his own you know, destiny rather than it being dictated

54
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.719
by you know, others or birth because you know, okay,

55
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.919
and just you know, having a good it's a good

56
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.319
fun time and I think that really adds to it.

57
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.159
If it was orchestral one, it's not that kind of movie.

58
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:44.319
It's definitely more I think.

59
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.680
The adventure comedy, you know, adventure calmed, lighthearted, it's got

60
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:51.080
it's just got a really good mix.

61
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.120
And yeah, if you did an orchestra, it would what

62
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.439
are we even doing here? And it would have been crap.

63
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.199
So this was the appropriate creative direction with it. And yes,

64
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.879
it definitely adds to it. I feel like it's actually

65
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:03.280
another character.

66
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.120
Yeah, it's a great, great direction. By the way, let's

67
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.319
talk about this director. Yes, Angela three things you may

68
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.800
not know about Brian Helgeland, and I'll even give you

69
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:18.720
a quote. First, he won the Oscar and Razzie Award

70
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.800
the same weekend in nineteen ninety eight.

71
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:22.720
I did see that.

72
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:26.759
Yeah, best screenplay for La Confidential for you know, which

73
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.480
is just one of my all time favorites, app all

74
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:31.399
time favorite. Yes, yeah, if there's a way for us

75
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.439
to do that, Yes, we need one of our Patreon

76
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.920

I told you about his the Oscar and the Razzie

110
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:16.120

His mantle and why why wouldn't you.

112
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:22.240
Well, why wouldn't you? But keep in mind but humble, Yeah,

00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:27.240
he's only the fourth person in Razzie history to voluntarily

00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:29.839
ask and accept their award.

115
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:31.959
Okay, yeah that yeah, that I.

116
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:33.759
Gotta I gotta look that up because whoever the other

117
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:35.439
three are, that's just fun people.

118
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.800
They Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely, because I think I one

119
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:40.680
of the things he because he talked about he said

120
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.160
he puts him side by side just to basically kind

121
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.399
of remind him about the spectrum of yes, you know,

122
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:47.240
Hollywood and.

123
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.959
The creative things. So yeah, I mean, you got it.

124
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:56.279
You gotta take the you know, that's wins wherever you get.

125
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.160
I mean, it's just just kind of cant pullet yourself

126
00:06:59.160 --> 00:06:59.600
and move on.

127
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.720
Yeah, this guy, he he holds, he holds film directors

128
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.120
in very high regard. He also, I mean, when we're

129
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:10.560
talking about screenwriters who become directors, which is what he did,

130
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.079
he's a big fan for them. But his mentor famous

131
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:16.600
director Angel you want to take a crack at it,

132
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.480
and he guesses who his famous Who who his mentor was?

133
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.000
Oh gosh, I didn't put that in my notes. I

134
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:23.319
know where his screen.

135
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.839
Just take it. Take a guess. No, take a guess.

136
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:29.399
You're not we're not cramming for the Take a guess.

137
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:30.399
We're not cramming for that.

138
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.600
I know, I know, I feel like I'm being tested.

139
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.160
I'm trying to think of like a screenwery about the no.

140
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:36.759
No, just a director, famous.

141
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:38.879
Director, direct Steven Spielberg.

142
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:39.639
I don't know.

143
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:43.079
That's partly not it, that's not that's a good guy.

144
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:47.720
His mentor, Man, you got you got all flustered there,

145
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:48.680
I know I did.

146
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.800
I'm so sorry. I was prepared for anything else.

147
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.920
I'm like, I know a student.

148
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.600
Who's just hey, when you ready for me, when you're

149
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.000
ready for me to zig, I'm gonna zag. That's how

150
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.839
His mentor was Richard Donner. And this was after after

151
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.680
they had worked Yeah it was. It was after they

152
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.480
worked together on Conspiracy Theory. So okay, i'll tell you

153
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:12.519
right now. Yeah, we've covered Richard Donner a couple of

154
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:16.560
times now, yeah, you know, and we'll cover him again.

155
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:19.959
But I'm telling you right now, I am pulling hard

156
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.360
for Conspiracy Theory. I love that film. It's such an

157
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.680
amazing movie, and I don't think it gets the the

158
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:31.120
cloud that it deserves. So anyways, moving on from a

159
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:36.399
screenwriting perspective, he cites Tony Scott as the director he

160
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:41.159
felt closest to sensibility wise, because they both happen to

161
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:46.679
believe that any single moment in a film can be ordinary, absurd, tragic,

162
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.720
and funny at the same time. And that's absolutely that's

163
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.919
that's a writer's perspective. If I if I've ever heard

164
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:58.799
one lastly on screenwriting, he says, and I quote, it's

165
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.679
okay to lie if you reach a higher truth doing so.

166
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.159
That's an interesting concept.

167
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.840
That is, Yeah, if it leads you to.

168
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.440
Yeah, I don't yeah, enlightenment.

169
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:11.159
I suppose that.

170
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.639
Yeah, sure, Angela. I'm gonna challenge you with a five

171
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.279
word synopsis. Tell me what a night's tale is all about,

172
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.039
using exactly five words.

173
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:24.759
I actually came up with several of them, but I'm

174
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.279
going to go with this one, all right. So self

175
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.000
proclaimed night winds favor.

176
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.360
That's good, thank you. That's a that's a head scratcher too,

177
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.360
because if I'm listening, you know, we mentioned a couple

178
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:38.639
of movies about nights, and now I'm like, wait, self favor,

179
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:40.840
and it's all in the it's the devil's in the details,

180
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:45.000
it's self proclaimed night. That's it. That's very good, very good.

181
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:51.840
You I went more uh rudimentary. I'm not I'm not

182
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:57.759
the critical thinker. You are today. How about how about

183
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:02.720
medieval nights with rock music? There you go, yeah, I

184
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:04.360
mean that's pretty cut and dry.

185
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:08.240
Yeah, I think that would be definitely a good bringing

186
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:11.039
in the audience, like huh nights, yeah, Friday with some

187
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:11.679
rock music.

188
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.000
Yep, sure, sign me up.

189
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:15.840
I feel like it works, right, Yeah, all right, Well, look,

190
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:17.879
we are going to take a quick break and when

191
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.519
we get back, we'll talk about this rock soundtrack, we'll

192
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.960
talk about this cast, and we'll even do a little

193
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:29.360
bit of background. I'm sure when we return. Welcome back.

194
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:33.279
Angela and I are discussing Brian Helgelin's two thousand and

195
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:38.919
one action comedy medieval action comedy A Night's Tale. Angela,

196
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.279
take me back to two thousand and one. You've got

197
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.600
a type. I know you do. Yeah, But in two

198
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:49.279
thousand and one, what were you thinking about Heath Ledger

199
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:54.519
in the role of William Thatcher or otherwise known as

200
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:59.000
Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland. I know, that's a mouthful.

201
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:01.480
It is a say that three times.

202
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:03.639
It's like and Stean Stein.

203
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:10.679
Well, he Fledger was definitely on the radar, especially uh

204
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.919
after seeing him with Julia Styles and ten things I

205
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:16.840
Hate About You, which is still one of my favorite

206
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.279
like nostalgic pieces to go to.

207
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:20.840
That came out when I was in high school, so

208
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:22.279
he was definitely on the radar.

209
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.240
I think about the same time, if not the same

210
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:30.120
year I think The Patriot came out, If not your prior, yeah,

211
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:32.279
I think it might be might have just I think

212
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:34.320
Patriot might have been two thousand and this one was one,

213
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.240
if memory serves, So yeah, he he was definitely on

214
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:46.840
the the the hotty watch list, and you know, one

215
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:51.399
one of the heart throbs of yeah of that time.

216
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:55.000
So I remember seeing going to see this in the

217
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.679
theater strictly for him, and I remember having a really

218
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:00.000
good time in a chorus, laughing and I get injured

219
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.960
duced to you know Alan Tudic.

220
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:04.440
Who I freaking love that guy.

221
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:08.639
Who does We'll get to Oh, I know I'm trying

222
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.440
to jump the gun, but yeah, just uh And then again,

223
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:12.559
you know the rock music.

224
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.279
We're like, okay, this is you know, a little bit

225
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:17.120
different because then later that year we had Mulan Rouge

226
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.919
coming out with that modern juke box you know, those

227
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.519
music and stuff like that. So it was an interesting creative,

228
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:26.759
you know, choice of using that kind you know, that

229
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.440
fourteenth century setting with rock music and you know, just

230
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:34.240
having a good, good fun adventure about you know, a

231
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:38.080
decent guy that you a very likable character who refused

232
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:44.200
to you know, be you know, pigeonholed or to not

233
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.679
you know, reach his dreams just because of you know,

234
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.399
he wasn't born in a certain you know manner and

235
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.799
that every man can you know, make his own destiny

236
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:53.240
things like that.

237
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:55.120
He was a very firm believer with that, and it

238
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.679
was it was a fun watch.

239
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:59.200
Yeah, here's the thing about Ledger at this at this

240
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:03.159
time in his career, we we know he will bring

241
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.919
the audio. He'll he will bring the Angela's into the

242
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:10.840
He'll pack the theaters full of Angela's and Angela's friends

243
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.039
because you know, he's easy on the eyes, right. But

244
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:19.759
he's also in The Patriot and he is showing and

245
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:23.080
and then this movie hits, and this should have been

246
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:26.759
the sign for Hollywood to say, this is our next

247
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:31.120
big blockbuster star. He's gonna do action. He's gonna do

248
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:34.200
He's gonna do whatever he wants. He's gonna be He's

249
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:36.960
he's the He's like a new Tom Cruise, is what

250
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:40.000
he what I think Hollywood probably expected him to be,

251
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:44.320
and yet Ledger is just taking the roles he wants

252
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:47.480
to take because he wants a challenge. For him, it's

253
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.600
all about the art, and he goes on to have

254
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:56.279
this incredible career, uh tragically cut. Yeah, but I cried,

255
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.399
I did. I I agree? Yeah, but I mean this guy,

256
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.639
you know, William Thatcher who looks like he's you know,

257
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.159
hey that whenever if they ever get to make in

258
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.480
like a ThunderCats movie or he man in The Master's

259
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:12.200
of the Universe, which they're about to do that one.

260
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.279
This is the guy, right, it should be the guy.

261
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:19.600
But I mean I never expected him to play the Joker,

262
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.200
and I certainly didn't expect him to play my favorite

263
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.559
iteration of that character, because you know, say what you will,

264
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:29.080
we all have our favorite Joker actor. But I mean

265
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.080
Ledger's mind no, his was just.

266
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.320
Yeah, yeah, completely mind blowing and just nothing like you've

267
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:38.360
ever seen or I think will at least in our lifetime.

268
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:40.679
What do you think about what do you think about

269
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:41.480
young Mark Addey?

270
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:41.639
Here?

271
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.600
This is this is Robert Rafian.

272
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:51.519
Long before Yes, oh Roland he Yeah, he was a funny,

273
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.039
funny guy and a very a good uh you know,

274
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.600
right hand man, trying to be the sensible you know.

275
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:00.600
Of the trio and uh and and then I just

276
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:01.720
laughed whenever.

277
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:04.120
He just always got starry eyed when the.

278
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.519
Noble woman came around, and he just dull tongue tied

279
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.399
and Twitter paid it and it was just funny.

280
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.039
I'm like, I want to see that guy.

281
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:17.039
Yeah, let's yeah, Yeah, they're having fun. He Okay, So

282
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:18.519
he's one of the squires, and we get you know,

283
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.519
the the quick the quick version of the synopsis would be,

284
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:25.759
you know, we got three guys. They're squires for a

285
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:34.120
night who you know passes away, uh embarrassingly untimely, and

286
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:38.639
rather than tucktail and run, Heath Ledger's character William Thatcher says,

287
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.679
I could do this guys, you know, and they're like,

288
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.759
you're lying, You're not noblee. So they put on this

289
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:47.480
whole soul charade where he's just going to go from

290
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:51.879
town to town in these contests, these jousting contests, and

291
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:53.360
you know, then the other two are going to act

292
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:58.279
as his squire. Mark Addy could not be having as

293
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.279
good a time if we didn't have your guy. Yeah,

294
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.799
Alent Di yes in the in the role of as

295
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.000
uh as what as it's why isn't it? Yeah?

296
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:14.279
I will yeah, And he's just so quick, like he'll

297
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.320
say so funny and then immediately like want to go

298
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:17.360
into a fist fight.

299
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.279
Yeah, talking me about al you love he?

300
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:22.919
I love this guy.

301
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.720
And of course one of the favorite scenes, you know, after.

302
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:31.279
Shannon Sossiman's character, you know, Jocelyn basically you know, play

303
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:32.360
Kate's William.

304
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.000
Of like, oh, he's just a boy with a stick

305
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:34.679
and dah da da.

306
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.120
Dad and she walks away and ald like it's called

307
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:38.879
a lot.

308
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:41.639
Hello, Hello, Hello.

309
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:44.639
So I feel like that was one of the more

310
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.159
like memorable scenes.

311
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:50.759
Just he's just so funny. He just cracks me up.

312
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:53.559
He just goes from you know, like zero to sixty.

313
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:56.240
You know, I kind of feel like he might be

314
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:01.440
my favorite character in the movie. The comic relief that

315
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:04.160
he's providing is just amazing.

316
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:08.759
But it fits so well. It's not like overly you know,

317
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.240
it's just it still fits in with the.

318
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:13.559
Realm of you know, it's not making this whole thing

319
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.559
a total silly thing, but yeah, it just it's a

320
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.920
very nice, blended balance and he just does.

321
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:22.039
It in the only way that Alan can do it.

322
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.279
I mean he I mean this was kind of like,

323
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:26.400
this is kind of what put him on the map.

324
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:27.799
If you think about it, he had done I think

325
00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:31.039
he did Patch Adams in maybe ninety eight, yeah, the

326
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:34.400
wonderful one of the Yeare movie and maybe two thousand

327
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:38.279
so god, yeah, but think about that one. Yeah, but okay,

328
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:40.240
so and I'm probably I'm not gonna get him an

329
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:43.480
order obviously, but yeah, think about After a Night's Tale,

330
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.440
we get him an ice age, we get him as

331
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:51.680
the crazy pirate guy in Dodgeball the Yes, and then

332
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:57.359
two thousand and five Serenity where he's now he's feah, Yeah,

333
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:03.160
he's arrived from what to Wash. Yeah. I I love

334
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.079
Alent Tudic. And we you know, I was with the

335
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:09.279
con Men last last season. We were I want to say,

336
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:12.119
we were in Michigan. We're motor City con mm hmm.

337
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.599
Tudic's there and he is a crowd favorite.

338
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:18.599
I'm gonna tell you that, right well, of course, yeah.

339
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:20.599
Now, and the great thing I gotta I gotta, I

340
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:23.000
just gotta shout out Alan Tudic here for a second.

341
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.000
You know, in the in the event, in the possibility

342
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.960
that he ever hears this, uh, Tudic is one of

343
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:34.480
the consummate professionals when it comes to these conventions. The

344
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.440
guy wasn't just there to sit there and sign things

345
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.839
and take photos. He was engaged with his fans. He's

346
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:44.440
been I'm watching people. They're bringing all kinds of like

347
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.319
things from Serenity and Firefly, they're bringing things from Superman.

348
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:54.079
They're bringing everything, right, and he's he's like, oh wow,

349
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:55.759
look at it. And he's taking an interest in what

350
00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:56.119
they're what.

351
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:57.240
They're talking about.

352
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:02.000
Uh Dave. And I talked with him. I want to say,

353
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:03.960
it's a little I felt bad because I was like, man,

354
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:06.559
we are There's a ton of people behind us that

355
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:08.720
are like shutting up and get out of here. But

356
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.079
we just we kept having a great conversation, right, and

357
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:14.640
I happened to you know, he's he knows what people

358
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:16.720
are gonna be asking me, like, let's talk about Firefly,

359
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:20.200
let's talk about Superman, Let's talk about And I said, Alan,

360
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.680
I got I gotta be honest with you. You know,

361
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:24.680
I love all your work, but Tucker and Dale versus

362
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:28.640
Evil is your crowning achievement. And he got this wide

363
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:32.400
eyed and smile on his face. He's like, thank you man,

364
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:35.240
Like no one talks about Tucker and Dale. I was like,

365
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:37.799
well they should, it's so good.

366
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:39.440
Oh I have to look that one up.

367
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:40.319
Yeah, I haven't watched that.

368
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:44.200
Oh I'll take Okay, listeners, we all know Angela is

369
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:46.200
a bit of a fraidy cat. Horror films are not

370
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:49.359
her thing, and slasher movies are definitely not her thing.

371
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:54.200
But Angela this is a a horror comedy. Yeah, and

372
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:55.359
it's is.

373
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:57.119
It kind of like in the realms of like Slither,

374
00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:58.680
Like I was able to watch.

375
00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:01.200
That one, like Nathan fo Oh yeah, okay, so it's

376
00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:04.880
it's in that realm, but but goofier and funnier. But

377
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.200
you will laugh, like I don't think you're gonna jump

378
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:10.880
too if at all. You maybe will, but you're gonna

379
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:13.359
laugh a lot. And Tutic is incredible in it.

380
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:14.960
I will up.

381
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.480
Okay, that's okay. Maybe he's my favorite character, but I

382
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:22.519
think the best character. And you know, maybe maybe a

383
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.759
hot take, but I think Paul Bettany wins the movie

384
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:27.759
as Jeffrey Chaucer for.

385
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:32.279
Sure, and you definitely will get more than your lifetime's

386
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:33.759
worth of his bear.

387
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:39.839
But ex can we talk about his introduction for his character? Right?

388
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:42.839
I'm like oh, if I ever see his beare butt again,

389
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:43.799
it'll be too zu.

390
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:46.279
But yes, you will definitely get your fill of fitness.

391
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:52.240
So I know, uh, dipping a little bit into production

392
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:55.799
history if if I'm not if I'm not mistaken. The

393
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:59.799
film takes its name from Chaucer's story, The Knights Tale, right.

394
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:02.640
A Canterbury's tale, I believe.

395
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:04.119
Yeah, they took you out one of them.

396
00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:06.519
From the canter Tales.

397
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:09.519
Yes, but yeah, and it was written ye Jeffrey Chaucer.

398
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:11.839
And I think I think the whole idea, I think

399
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.240
I think Hegelnd's whole whole idea around this story is

400
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:19.799
it's from Chaucer's point of view, like a at a

401
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:23.839
lost time in his life before he becomes Jeffrey Chaucer. Yes, right,

402
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:26.880
I mean that that works. That absolutely works. I love it.

403
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:27.880
Absolutely.

404
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:31.799
He the way he is like his Harald, Okay, he's like, hey,

405
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:33.920
you know he he kind of joins this ragtag group

406
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:36.279
as the Herald, right, because he's gonna split some of

407
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:38.519
the profits. He's got a gambling problem. That's why he

408
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:40.519
keeps losing his money and his clothes and everything else

409
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.400
nearly his life a few times. Yes, But the fact

410
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:48.400
that he's I mean, he's kind of like a hype man,

411
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:50.759
a ring announcer if you will. Yes, you know the

412
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:53.079
way he called you know, he it's like it's like

413
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:56.000
fight night. I love it is.

414
00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:58.480
He is the medieval pr man.

415
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:05.279
Yes, he is fantastic, absolutely fantastic. And you know, we

416
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:06.799
could we could talk all night about him. I'm gonna

417
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:08.440
move on because we yea, we gotta we gotta, we

418
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.000
gotta show to do. Yeah, can we talk about the

419
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:12.599
lovely Shannon Sossaman.

420
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:14.960
Yeah, little Joscelyn.

421
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:19.720
Yeah, yeah, playing Joscelyn, lady Jostly. Okay, well tell me,

422
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:22.440
tell me, tell me your thoughts on on her performance.

423
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:23.880
I think she's adorable.

424
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:27.039
She is, I you know, and of course, you know,

425
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:30.640
they had the costuming and like the hairstyles, you know,

426
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.200
was a little bit more you know, Mono two, but

427
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:35.920
I think it kind of matched along with that rock

428
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:37.240
you know.

429
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.640
The music, and and that likable enough.

430
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:43.799
You know, there were a few things like about her,

431
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:48.160
her you know character that I was just like, why okay,

432
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.440
but butt any who, this is a medieval tell so

433
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:52.880
they're all supposed to you know, fall in love like

434
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:55.480
at first sight and then basically just you know, whatever

435
00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:58.480
you say, madam, you know, I will do silly men.

436
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:04.599
But uh but in that yeah, she was cute.

437
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:06.200
I mean, I know she was in a she was

438
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:08.400
kind of you know, for a minute, they're like the

439
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:10.559
it girl around this time, and then she just kind

440
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:12.720
of like drifted, you know, off. Didn't really see her

441
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:14.319
in anything. I even looked her up, like she really

442
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:17.039
hasn't you know, done anything, which you know, you know,

443
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:18.640
all for her if that's what she wanted to do.

444
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:20.839
But I was just kind of surprised she doesn't have

445
00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:23.759
a you know, more things.

446
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:27.079
That she you know, well, okay, so it's it's the mystery.

447
00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:29.480
I guess that is what I'm getting at because think

448
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:32.359
think about this. She'd done a little bit of TV, yeah,

449
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:36.440
and then A Night's Tale is her feature film debut. Yeah,

450
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:39.720
way to knock it out of the park, and following

451
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.519
yeah with each nothing but this a year later in

452
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.680
two thousand and two, not one but two big projects.

453
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:50.960
She's got forty Days and forty Nights with Josh Harden

454
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:53.640
and then she's got the Rules of Attraction with uh,

455
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:57.839
well it's like an ensemble cast. Yeah, but you know,

456
00:23:57.920 --> 00:23:59.559
James Vanderbeek would obviously be the star.

457
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:01.200
That's right, Yeah, the.

458
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:05.799
Late James Vanderbeges. Okay, So a year after A Night's Tale,

459
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:08.759
her feature film debut, she does these other two big movies.

460
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:12.119
Two thousand and three, she's in The Order, which I

461
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:14.720
don't think was that good. I definitely think that kind

462
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:17.559
of was a miss, not on her, not at all.

463
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:20.440
Was that the one where it was like four guys

464
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:22.839
like in a secret confusing?

465
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:27.839
Yeah? Well, she basically like, well it was. It was

466
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:30.839
a thriller. Now here's the thing. It's basically it's like

467
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.759
a reunion because the in two thousand and three of

468
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:36.640
The Order, it's it's written and directed by Brian helgiland

469
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:42.960
it stars Heath Ledger and market He basically got the

470
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.680
band back together, and it's kind of like a mystery thriller.

471
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:49.359
Mystery thriller. I remember seeing it in the theaters. Its

472
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:52.640
just it didn't hit like it just wasn't wasn't a

473
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:57.599
good film in my opinion. Now think about that, because

474
00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:00.960
it's by two thousand and five, she's in Shane Black's

475
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:03.759
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, which Andrew Blakely and I covered,

476
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:05.640
hyeh last season.

477
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:08.119
Not man, man, it's been a minute since I've seen that. Man,

478
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:10.599
I must have blinked and missed her that.

479
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:13.440
Well you did, because here's why. In two thousand and one,

480
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:15.920
she's playing Joscelyn, the lead female role.

481
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:16.799
Yeah.

482
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:20.000
In two thousand and five, she's playing the role is

483
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:25.359
credited as pink hair girl. Wow, what what happened to

484
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:28.079
Shannon's awsoman? I don't understand it?

485
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:30.200
Well again, that just goes back to the hole you

486
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:32.640
put an oscar next to a razzie like first year,

487
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:35.240
like you know, and then something. Yeah, because I don't

488
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:37.200
think it's necessarily for her lack of.

489
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:40.039
I don't know. Could it could be, and that could be,

490
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:43.920
you know, I mean, yeah, she's like a Phebe Kates.

491
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:46.000
She just decides that I'm done, I'm gonna retire and

492
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:47.680
I'm gonna go do what I want to do. Yeah.

493
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.640
Absolutely, and if that's hey, more power to you girl.

494
00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:50.880
Yeah.

495
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:52.680
You know, as long as you're happy, you do it.

496
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:54.960
She's yeah, she's doing she wants to hope she's happy,

497
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:56.759
but it would have been nice to have more of her.

498
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:02.079
Yeah, rufus Sewell, he plays such a good battie.

499
00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:05.079
He is, he is on like, I don't know, maybe

500
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:08.440
it's just the English in him. But he's like he's

501
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:12.960
like Jason Isaac's evil in this Yes, yeah, he is

502
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:16.079
so good in this He's playing uh what is it

503
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:21.680
a count? Yeah, yeah, he's such a dick in this movie.

504
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:24.680
So I know, and you're just the whole first interaction

505
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:28.799
when he's sitting next to Joscelyn and just going off,

506
00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:29.920
and you just know in her head.

507
00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:31.400
She's like, oh my god, I want to elbow this

508
00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:32.319
guy in the nose.

509
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:34.440
Like he's going full gust on.

510
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:36.759
Like just oh yeah, just fool on, look at me,

511
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:37.720
just puffer, you know.

512
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:39.880
And then she but she still manages, you know, with

513
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:42.480
her you know, little comments of waying to you know,

514
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:45.720
kind of somewhat put him in his place, you know, indirectly.

515
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.400
And and the of course the crack me up the

516
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:52.680
scene when they have their their dance, uh and he's

517
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:57.279
just just standing there behind a table, just few switching and.

518
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:01.319
You know he's into believe because he's trying to make

519
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:02.200
fun of the guy.

520
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.440
But you can have all of these euphemism jokes about okay,

521
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:09.039
you can joust, but can you joust?

522
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:10.160
Can you job?

523
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:12.880
Yeah?

524
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:16.799
Let's uh, Angela, I I gotta be honest. I gotta

525
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:19.279
I gotta ask you because I don't know a lot

526
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:21.839
about the background of this movie. I know, I know

527
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:23.640
they filmed it in the Czech Republic.

528
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:25.400
YEP and Czech Republic.

529
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:28.319
Yeah, I know they were kind of sharing studio space

530
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:32.440
with the Hughes Brothers from Hell, which we also covered

531
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:34.400
that one. That's been a couple couple of seasons ago.

532
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:38.119
Scott Hoffman and I talked about from Hell. Okay, but yeah,

533
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:40.319
I think that's when that's when Ledger meets a Heather

534
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:43.599
Graham and they yet the moment.

535
00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:45.240
But then they were Yeah, they were together for for

536
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:45.599
a bit.

537
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:47.720
Yeah, Well, can you tell me about the background of

538
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:49.440
this movie aside from aside from.

539
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:53.759
All that, uh that that was pretty much okay.

540
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:56.920
There really wasn't a lot that they talked about that

541
00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:59.200
I can find with this, But then I know we

542
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:06.119
already covered basically what uh inspired uh the director to

543
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:09.559
to do this was was covering the six months in

544
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:12.680
which Chaucer had gone missing in like thirteen seventy two.

545
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:14.519
So this was his way of, Hey, this is what

546
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:17.799
he was doing, you know with that, you know, walking

547
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:20.680
around naked, owing gambling.

548
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:24.440
Debts and helping a peasant rise to knighthood.

549
00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:28.480
So unfortunately, yeah, no, I I didn't find anything else.

550
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:32.400
Unfortunately, I just so unfortunately, I just uh, I just

551
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:36.079
stepped deliver your your uh your background information. I was like, oh,

552
00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:38.240
you're good. Happy to do it like that.

553
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:40.839
It's a fun I mean, it's nice to take.

554
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:43.240
You know, it's not necessarily you know, I mean it's

555
00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:45.480
it's it's based on an actual you know, writing, but

556
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:47.599
it is kind of cool to actually use the real

557
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:49.920
person who wrote it, Like, hey, what did he do

558
00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:54.359
in these you know, these missing months because uh, you know,

559
00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:57.319
some some films, you know, we'll do that, you know,

560
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:00.400
like take a tale, you know, like The Raven was

561
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:02.680
you know, like a period of like like how they

562
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:03.680
think editor around.

563
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:05.680
But you know, it was just a creative spin to it.

564
00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:06.640
But it's just fun.

565
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:08.920
All right, Well, let's talk Okay, I'll tell you what.

566
00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:11.119
Let's take another break and then we I want to

567
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:13.519
talk about the music. We got to talk about the music.

568
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:20.039
We'll be right back. All right, we're back, and Angela,

569
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:23.119
it is time to talk about what might be one

570
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:27.640
of the coolest soundtracks of the two thousands for a

571
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:31.319
Night's Tale. So I got I got a list here

572
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:33.319
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna run down this list,

573
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:35.799
this soundtrack list, and then I kind of want to

574
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:38.720
talk about their placement in the movie. Yeah, and I

575
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:40.400
kind of want to, you know, I want I want

576
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:42.039
to talk it. I want to talk it through because

577
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:45.640
I want to hear what your favorite moment is, what

578
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.519
your favorite music note moment is. So obviously, we we

579
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.359
begin with Queen's We Were Rocky, and that sets the

580
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:54.240
stage that now we know what kind of movie we're in.

581
00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:55.759
Now we know what kind of fun we're gonna have.

582
00:29:57.079 --> 00:30:00.920
From there, we go to his training montage. Listen, I'm

583
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:03.359
a sucker for a good montage. We get a couple

584
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:08.400
of them in this movie. First one Lowrider by War Yeah,

585
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:10.160
that one he's training in the woods.

586
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:12.079
Yeah that that was a crack up.

587
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.559
I was like, how about how about taking care of

588
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:19.160
business for the tournament montage. Now he's at the tournaments,

589
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:22.839
he's winning. You're you're calling the shot, right, that's the one.

590
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:25.599
Okay, well yeah, okay, I think that Yeah, that would fit.

591
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:27.920
Yeah, well okay, well give me you're so you're saying

592
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:30.720
that would fit for the montage. You're not saying that's

593
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:31.119
your pick.

594
00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:32.519
No, no, no, that's not my pick.

595
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:36.079
So okay, okay, oh no, no no, I thought you

596
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:41.839
had on that one. Okay, let's let's let's all right, okay,

597
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:44.440
could could be could be the fan favorite here, Yes,

598
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.359
Golden Years by David Boy Okay, all right, we'll put

599
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.759
that put We're gonna talk about that scene. We also got, uh,

600
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:56.480
this one's too good. They finally come back to London

601
00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.640
for the World Championships. The boys are back in town.

602
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:02.759
By then Lizzie Hm, I love that song. I absolutely

603
00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:06.599
love this song. And then obviously we get our closing credits,

604
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:08.319
we get you Shook Me All Night Long by a

605
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:11.079
CDC and that kind of fades into We are the Champions,

606
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:14.000
which I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you like

607
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.000
you gave me Queens. We were Rocky with Freddie mrcury

608
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:21.039
at the beginning. Yeah, why didn't you give me? We

609
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:26.079
are the Champions with Queen and Freddie Mercury to bookend it,

610
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:27.680
because this is Robbi Williams.

611
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:29.880
Robby Williams, Yeah, it's not even Freddy Mercury's.

612
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:36.519
Yeah, Brian Heglund, come on, man, that's no one's perfect.

613
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:39.119
But yeah, it's a it's the closing credits. Well, we'll

614
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:43.359
forgive him Angela. I'm gonna I'm gonna assume that The

615
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:46.839
Golden Years by David Bowie is maybe your favorite musical moment.

616
00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:50.480
All right, well, can we sure? Let's let's talk about

617
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:54.920
a scene because I kind of feel like maybe, no,

618
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:56.480
you know what, maybe we won't have the same scene

619
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.640
to talk about. But let's talk about the scene. Whether

620
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:03.319
you're picking this for its cinematography, it's a. It's a

621
00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:08.319
strong performance, it's uh, it's the pivotal moment. Is is

622
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:11.480
the dance the banquet with with Bowie? Is that your

623
00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:12.839
Is that the scene you want to talk about or

624
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:14.039
is this just you want to talk you want to

625
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:16.640
talk about regardless, all right, let's just talk okay, just.

626
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:17.200
Because of the song?

627
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:21.039
Yeah no, yeah, I just brought that music right, Yeah,

628
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:22.880
but that's not okay.

629
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:25.119
So here's here's why I think it's the best musical moment.

630
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:28.720
It starts off, you know, he's kind of showing off,

631
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.400
like you said, Uh, Suell's being a being a dick, Like,

632
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:34.039
why don't you show us one of the dances from

633
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:41.440
and he he is at Ledgers William Thatcher's kind of

634
00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:47.519
fumbling through his Foxy Lady though Shannon Sossoman Joscelyn, she

635
00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:50.559
kind of picks up the rhythm with them and they

636
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:53.279
find it and they they create, they create this great moment.

637
00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:56.880
I'm gonna put you on the spot. Yeah, I need

638
00:32:56.880 --> 00:33:00.640
you to, I need you tell me best damance moment

639
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:03.000
where someone was supposed to be made fun of and

640
00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:05.880
then it turns into a massive hit. Is it this

641
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:09.559
or is it Ronald Miller doing the African Anteita ritual

642
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:12.240
and Can't Buy Me Love from nineteen eighty seven? You

643
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:14.920
don't remember Can't Buy Me Love where the geek buys

644
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:16.640
the cheerleader for like a Moneague.

645
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.960
Yeah no if I yeah, it's been a long since seen.

646
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:24.079
I'm so sorry for some reason, immediately I had like

647
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:25.680
Napoleon died and might pop in my head.

648
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:33.400
Listeners Angela, Angela's, Angela's young, She's we're gonna work okay,

649
00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:36.799
and I don't listeners, Angela will watch that. We'll give

650
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:39.200
her that homework. But let us know, tell us, you know,

651
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:41.599
whether you're on social media, you email us. I want

652
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:46.039
to know what is the better moment where a goofy

653
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:48.079
dance where we're supposed to make fun of the hero

654
00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:52.079
turns out being like the the hit moment? Is it?

655
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:52.359
Is it?

656
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:52.599
This?

657
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:55.079
Is it Nights Tale with gold with the David Bowie

658
00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:58.759
or is it Ronald Miller's African ant eater ritual when

659
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.960
he thinks he's watching bandstand and but it becomes a

660
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:04.279
hit because the entire prom is doing it. So we'll

661
00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:06.039
move on, We'll, we'll, we'll figure that one out.

662
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:09.360
Angela couldn't show a dance from where he's from, because

663
00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:11.599
you know, you can't dance with a stick up yours?

664
00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:14.559
All right? So now, Angela, I think maybe we do

665
00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:16.480
have the same scene what we won't talk about. But

666
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:20.039
I'm gonna, you know, because because I I I want

667
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:22.719
to be nightly, I'm gonna say, ladies, first, why don't you,

668
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:24.440
why don't you tell me yours.

669
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:25.360
Chivary is nuts?

670
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:25.880
Chivalry.

671
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:32.360
I love the scene where William has been arrested for

672
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:36.559
falsifying his lineage, and he's there, he's he's got his

673
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:39.760
head and his hands in the my goodness a stockade,

674
00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:44.320
thank you, and you know mob suddenly you know who

675
00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:47.599
used to cheer for him is now throwing vegetables at him.

676
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:48.880
But his friends are sticking there.

677
00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:52.400
And then this is when the print shows up to

678
00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:55.760
speak on his behalf and silencing the crowd. And what's

679
00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.079
so great about that is because earlier we see we

680
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:04.679
learned that the Prince has also gone under disguise and

681
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:08.199
trying to go under another name, so he could fight

682
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:11.800
in these jousting, you know, to participate in this. But

683
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:16.639
when other people know, including uh uh what's his face,

684
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:25.199
Adham Art or the yeah, the dick count, he withdrawals

685
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:30.719
rather than fight him or joust with him. But William decides,

686
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:33.400
you know, no, he's going to fight because he feels

687
00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:36.679
like that's the more respectful thing to do, even though

688
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:41.280
knowing uh, because you know, of given him his moment

689
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:46.599
in the competition. So and then you know, they have

690
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:49.519
their exchange, you know, and the prince like and you

691
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:51.559
still did it even knowing this, and you know, and

692
00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:54.360
that's still an honorable thing to do, so yes, and

693
00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:54.719
it is.

694
00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:56.800
It's the nightly thing to do. It's like, why should

695
00:35:56.840 --> 00:35:57.800
I make a choice, you know.

696
00:35:57.800 --> 00:35:59.000
For you or any you know.

697
00:35:59.360 --> 00:35:59.800
Uh.

698
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:03.559
So he treats him, you know, with that kind of

699
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:07.000
respect and that honor, and that comes back into his

700
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:11.760
favor when he's now being you know, booed and humiliated.

701
00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:15.760
His friends are sticking by him, you know, while he's

702
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:18.360
going through this, and the print shows up, and then

703
00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:24.079
that's when he properly knights him, yes, in.

704
00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:24.800
Front of everyone.

705
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:29.800
Uh, for being a good man and displaying nightly behavior.

706
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:32.480
That you know that's not something you can worn with.

707
00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:37.159
Yeah, well, well the title, but that character, you know

708
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:40.880
that that was put more ahead.

709
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:41.679
Of just a title.

710
00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:42.480
Yeah.

711
00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:44.039
Yeah, it doesn't mean that you can be.

712
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:46.000
A good person. But I absolutely love that scene.

713
00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:49.199
Yeah, this is this is a we didn't mention earlier,

714
00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:52.800
but this is James Purefoy. He's now he is moving

715
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:57.760
through this this movie. He's kinda in disguise as I

716
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:00.440
think of a guy named Colville mm hmm. And then

717
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:02.800
people he just wants to jounst he wants to be

718
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:06.599
in it, and people find out like, okay, that's not

719
00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:09.679
he says his name's Colville, but that's actually Edward the

720
00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:14.599
Black Prince. Yes, and then no one is going in

721
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:17.760
their right mind is going to strike someone of royal

722
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:20.840
blood and everyone. Every time he shows up to fight

723
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:23.679
and people figure out who he is, they throw the

724
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:26.800
white flag and they they forfeit and you see, like

725
00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:30.400
the the disappointment on his face the first time we

726
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:35.960
see this happen. And you know Thatcher, our guy, Heath Ledger,

727
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:38.760
he's They're like, whoa, whoa you are forfeiting? We just

728
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:41.360
figured out who the guy is. He's like, no, he

729
00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:42.320
knows the risk.

730
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:46.079
Yeah, and he goes here. I mean he didn't have

731
00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:46.639
to be there.

732
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:51.119
The fact that he knights him in this moment, and

733
00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:52.840
then you know he kind because he's kind of standing

734
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:55.840
up for H's like, hey, h you know, my word

735
00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:58.480
is not to be challenged. And we found out he's

736
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:01.119
an ancient blood line and mm hmmm. And then he

737
00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:03.559
knits him right there as William Thatcher. He's no longer

738
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:08.039
having to hide hunder the guys of Sir Oric Liechtenstein Lichtenstein.

739
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:14.599
He's Sir William Thatcher. It's as a maybe the pivotal moment, right.

740
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:17.679
Mm hmmm, yeah, yeah, definitely, just a very just a

741
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:23.039
good display of character, you know, belief in oneself, the

742
00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:26.039
friendship you know, and your friends believe in you, and

743
00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:28.880
what happens when what goes around does come around and

744
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:29.840
those good things.

745
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:33.480
Coming back when you just you put something good out people.

746
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:36.519
Yes, exactly, when you just to treat people with respect

747
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:39.480
and not letting the title dictate your behavior towards them,

748
00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:39.840
just like.

749
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:42.639
You wouldn't want that, you know. For Yeah, so Angela,

750
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:46.000
my scene could be could be the writer in me,

751
00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:51.199
could could be the romantic in me. I love when

752
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:55.800
everyone is working together to write this letter to Jocelyn.

753
00:38:56.679 --> 00:39:00.960
That is funny, yes, because it starts off comedic because

754
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:06.440
you've You've, he got, you got Alan talk about our breasts, yes,

755
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.559
and then Kate's like they're not that great, like talking

756
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:12.159
about go go higher. He's like her neck, you know,

757
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:19.000
like these are just like frat boy conversation. But Kate,

758
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:22.719
I love Kaate. Yeah, the blacksmith. Kate, the blacksmith who

759
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:25.880
is responsible for making him his badass armor. Love. Her

760
00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:31.880
insignia is basically the Nike swoosh. Yes, yeah, we fashion,

761
00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:37.440
we fashion this this very romantic letter and and it

762
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:41.639
brings Jocelyn to tears. And she's like, this guy is

763
00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:44.440
not some ruffian, he's a poet. He's you know, and

764
00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:45.599
she falls.

765
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:48.400
For him and he can't do it in person.

766
00:39:48.639 --> 00:39:55.559
Yeah, in person, She's like, you know, compared, where's the

767
00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:58.559
poet compared me to his horse, like what are we doing?

768
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:00.840
You know, it's kind of reminded me like him thour

769
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:02.360
when he's like your face.

770
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:03.599
I like it.

771
00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:07.719
I like it, Yeah, the Neanderthal kind.

772
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:16.039
Yeah it could work, Angela, I'll put you, not to

773
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:17.440
put I feel like I'll put you on the spot

774
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:22.119
a lot. Let's let's run the numbers, because uh, yeah,

775
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:24.480
I didn't. I didn't do my homework. What can you

776
00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:25.480
tell me about this movie?

777
00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:29.480
It made sixteen point five million during its opening weekend,

778
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:31.559
and it came in second place to The Mummy.

779
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:33.239
Returns It's respect.

780
00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:37.760
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, and then it earned fifty six point

781
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:40.840
six million at the North American box office and then

782
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:44.920
an additional almost sixty one million internationally, so we had

783
00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:48.199
a worldwide total of almost one hundred and eighteen for this.

784
00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:50.199
I looked over and missed.

785
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:52.400
I don't know what the budget was, but I can

786
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:55.199
certainly say it was not one hundred and eighteen million dollars.

787
00:40:55.199 --> 00:41:00.320
So yeah, there's no way. I'm just I'm one ding

788
00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:01.960
in your opinion.

789
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:02.760
M hm.

790
00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:06.360
Now, I know, I know. Recently, I want to say,

791
00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:12.760
in recent years, Helgeln was hitting Netflix up for like, Hey,

792
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:15.400
I've got an idea for like a series on the

793
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:18.719
night on a Night's Tale. Is this something that could

794
00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:21.840
have at the time? Obviously I'm not talking about a

795
00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:25.119
legacy sequel now, but could we have seen something that

796
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:28.159
could this could a sequel to this have worked back

797
00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:30.760
back then? Do we not or do we not need it?

798
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:33.320
I'm just thinking, like, it's just so fun, you know,

799
00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:37.719
because I clearly he wanted to get this group together

800
00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:40.599
because I pretty much everyone but Alan Tutik is back,

801
00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:44.360
you know in the order, which wasn't you know, wasn't

802
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:46.679
a hit. But I don't know, like I I just

803
00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:48.800
wish we could have had some more time with these characters.

804
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:52.280
This this group is so so fun to watch, right,

805
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:53.159
Yes it was.

806
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:54.239
It was a lot of fun.

807
00:41:54.360 --> 00:42:00.719
Yeah, that's just there, just their camaraderie, their goal, but

808
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:02.400
also you know, trying to like, hey, if we don't

809
00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:03.840
you know, you know, you could hang and all tho,

810
00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:05.880
you know, but they all still were just like, no,

811
00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:09.119
we're all willing to you know, put our necks out

812
00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:11.360
there because one, well we don't want to starve, because

813
00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:14.440
that's where we started too. Because if since there the

814
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:17.239
night that they were squires to you know, diet, it's like, well,

815
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:21.079
we haven't eaten already in a few days what y have?

816
00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:24.119
So it's just you know that those are the moments

817
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:25.599
that you know, you really got to dig deep and

818
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:27.400
whe it's like, okay, you know, how can we do

819
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:30.400
because it you know, is that really the worst thing

820
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:33.119
you could have done, just to make sure yourself is

821
00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:35.639
taken care of and you're fed and you've got you know,

822
00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:38.639
some some money. You know, there could have been worse

823
00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:42.400
ways to have done that versus just yeah, you know,

824
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:44.960
faking your you know, your lineage for it.

825
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:47.920
But this, uh, I'll tell you who got it wrong?

826
00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:50.360
People people talking about this movie in two thousand and

827
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:52.519
one Rod Tomatoes score of fifty nine.

828
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:53.960
I know I saw that.

829
00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:55.920
Yeah, what are we doing it a little bit?

830
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:56.119
Bro?

831
00:42:56.519 --> 00:42:58.840
Yeah, it's like you it's one of those movies where

832
00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:01.599
you just it's not meant to be like a historical

833
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:06.039
it's just part of the setting. It's just the setting

834
00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:08.719
of it, and it's just supposed to be you know, fine, yes,

835
00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:11.920
we're there are a couple of things ridiculous about it, absolutely,

836
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:17.159
but it was just fun for what it was, and

837
00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:18.880
it's good fun fluff.

838
00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:20.920
You know, he figured it out, you know, who got

839
00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:23.199
it right back. And then Roger Ebert, he gave it

840
00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:24.159
three out of four stars.

841
00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:26.840
I did see that. Yeah, he actually he understood what

842
00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:27.079
it was.

843
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:30.559
Yeah, he understood the assignment, right.

844
00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:32.320
Yeah.

845
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:34.440
I do want to mention this other little fun fact.

846
00:43:34.519 --> 00:43:36.440
Just you know, if if if Amber listens to this.

847
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:39.800
So I she's always listening. The Voice of Reason is

848
00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:42.400
always listening to this film.

849
00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:46.719
For the MTV Movie Awards, was nominated for Best Kiss

850
00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:50.000
and the Best Musical Sequence. However, it lost the musical

851
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:53.480
sequence to Malonders, which you know I can't.

852
00:43:55.960 --> 00:43:57.840
Oh boy, yeah.

853
00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:01.119
I know it's gonna be like our long running you

854
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:06.320
asked both side story, yeah, rivalry, I guess.

855
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:12.960
Yeah. Yeah, if I would have known the firestorm that

856
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:14.719
moved kicked off.

857
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:21.920
A house divided, Yeah, taken stride that it's it's okay.

858
00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:24.519
I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you one one

859
00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:29.440
last nugget I forgot about kind of interesting. You remember

860
00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:32.760
when this movie came out, When when A Night's Tale

861
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:36.400
hit DVD in VHS. I love that I get to

862
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:41.239
say that. Yeah, this was uh September twenty fifth, two

863
00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:41.840
thousand and one.

864
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:42.679
Yeah.

865
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:44.679
Yeah, so you know, and you go with this.

866
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:45.000
Yeah.

867
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:49.880
Uh, they actually it was delayed. The video release was

868
00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:54.840
delayed because Sony had to remove the teaser trailer for

869
00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:58.079
Spider Man, you know, after the September eleventh attacks, because

870
00:44:58.400 --> 00:45:00.000
famously they're like, we don't want to, we don't want to.

871
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:02.679
We're not gonna dishonor the towers. We're not gonna show

872
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:06.199
the towers. Yeah. So this one actually got bumped the lease.

873
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:08.519
You know, they bumped a couple of days so they could, uh,

874
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:13.559
they kick it out. So Angela. As we wrap things up,

875
00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:20.119
someone sees a Night's Tale. They love it obviously, and

876
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:24.360
they say, hey, this this director Brian Helgeland. Anything you

877
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:29.519
can recommend Angela, whether it's written by, directed by, or

878
00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:34.559
even starring Brian Helgeland, what underrated project would you suggest?

879
00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:37.880
And before you give me your answer, I'm fifty to

880
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:40.239
fifty here. Either we are going to give the same

881
00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:44.079
answer or I'm gonna give you my answer and you're

882
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:48.239
gonna be like, oh my god, I've got to see it.

883
00:45:48.599 --> 00:45:52.360
So again, I'm gonna be nightly ladies.

884
00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:57.280
First, we're excited about this one because I didn't realize

885
00:45:57.679 --> 00:45:59.079
he directed.

886
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:04.119
Legend, starring my man Tom Hardy, who no.

887
00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:08.039
Only plays one character, but two characters because it follows

888
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:08.760
the rise and.

889
00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:12.719
Fall of twin brother gangsters in nineteen sixties London, so.

890
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:15.119
It is based on a true story. And now we

891
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:18.440
all see how you know, Michael B. Jordan was amazing

892
00:46:18.519 --> 00:46:22.280
as twin brothers in the Sinners and but Tom Hardy

893
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:25.480
did it back in twenty fifteen, and they're very different.

894
00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:30.639
But it is a really interesting movie.

895
00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:31.639
And just to get to.

896
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:35.559
See his I mean, how he kept these all straight.

897
00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:40.719
But he's Tom Hardy. He's amazing. So highly recommend legend

898
00:46:41.159 --> 00:46:41.519
with this.

899
00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:42.800
I don't listen.

900
00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:45.519
I don't think it got the attention it.

901
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:49.280
I I should have known better. I thought I'm gonna

902
00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:50.360
knock her socks off.

903
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:52.440
No, when I saw her, I was like, no, why

904
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:53.159
have a movie?

905
00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:55.400
Why have a movie starring Tom Hardy when you can

906
00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:59.119
have a movie starring too Tom Hardy's Angela? She can

907
00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:00.639
she even handle that? I don't know.

908
00:47:01.960 --> 00:47:04.719
It was very hard, but because the one was so

909
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:07.639
very different, Yes, you can hand them, Yeah, you can

910
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:08.519
handle them.

911
00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:12.119
So when you guys watch it, you understand.

912
00:47:12.360 --> 00:47:15.159
Yeah. Yeah, Reggie, I think Reggie and Ronald, isn't it

913
00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:18.880
I guess? Yeah? Pretty cool movie. It's like a true

914
00:47:18.920 --> 00:47:22.880
crime biopic about the Kray brothers. There were gangsters in

915
00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:29.320
uh in London, Tom Hardy, So they shoot this amazingly enough,

916
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:31.960
they shoot it in thirty five days. He's playing both

917
00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:34.920
parts in thirty five days. He basically would film like

918
00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:37.920
whatever the call sheet had that day, whichever brother had

919
00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:41.440
the most dialogue is the role he would do first.

920
00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:44.920
Then they would break. He goes back to the trailer

921
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:47.559
for hair and makeup so he could become the other brother.

922
00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:50.880
That is some damn fine acting.

923
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:53.920
I mean, he yeah, it is so good.

924
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:57.159
Yeah, well it's you know, because we've seen plenty of

925
00:47:57.880 --> 00:48:01.159
movies where one actor is playing multiple parts and you know,

926
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:03.679
you're like you're just you're that guy, but you're that

927
00:48:03.719 --> 00:48:07.239
guy with a beard. Now, Ronald and Reggie Cray are

928
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:11.239
very distinct personalities, and I think he nails it. He

929
00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:14.840
knocks it out of the park. Very cool movie. Like

930
00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:19.280
you said, what is it twenty fifteen it came out. Yeah,

931
00:48:20.119 --> 00:48:25.400
if you haven't seen Brian Holgan Helgland's Legend, you know,

932
00:48:25.519 --> 00:48:28.599
check it out. And remember there's there's really Scott's Legend,

933
00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:32.480
Tom Cruise and Miasarrow about that one. Tim Curry, very

934
00:48:32.559 --> 00:48:37.800
very different, very different. One has one has.

935
00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:38.440
Party, the other has zero zero to two make.

936
00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:42.119
And in Angela's world, both are fantasies. I would think,

937
00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:49.039
all right, well, Angela, I I have to believe you're

938
00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:52.639
You're gonna recommend a Night's Tale. Yes to our listeners.

939
00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:57.119
Absolutely, it's a fun adventure. Uh you know about friendship

940
00:48:57.239 --> 00:49:01.800
with set to a modern rock soundtrack featuring the Yeah

941
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:07.079
Too Soon taken Heath Ledger, And yes, highly recommend.

942
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:10.480
There you can, you can? You can rent this on

943
00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:13.119
Apple Prime. You know all the all the streamers. I'm

944
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:15.800
gonna say, go go ahead and get the Blu Ray

945
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:19.199
because you are treated Sony did like a theatrical cut

946
00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:23.920
and an extended cut. Check it out. It should be

947
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:27.280
in your collection. As far as I'm concerned, next time

948
00:49:27.599 --> 00:49:30.519
on a film by Angela, I think we're gonna stay

949
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:33.480
in the realm of medieval times. We're gonna talk, We're

950
00:49:33.480 --> 00:49:36.239
gonna we're gonna stick with knights. I don't I don't want,

951
00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:38.880
I don't wanna tip my hand, but I don't know

952
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:41.719
that we're gonna have as much love. We may not

953
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:46.000
be as excited to talk about our next film. No,

954
00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:48.239
we will be taught.

955
00:49:48.840 --> 00:49:52.400
The content is I mean, yeah, the storm.

956
00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:55.719
Which is would you guys call it in the chat

957
00:49:55.760 --> 00:49:59.400
you labeled the chat.

958
00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:01.880
And Joy, which actually it's it was the base it's

959
00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:02.920
part of the basis.

960
00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:04.000
It was loosely based.

961
00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:07.239
Yeah, it's not a Shakespeare story that it came out

962
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:09.320
several centuries before Julie.

963
00:50:09.639 --> 00:50:12.159
But yeah, I labeled as yeah, the other Romeo and Juliet.

964
00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:14.000
But Angela, give it, give us the title.

965
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:20.440
