"So I just want to, since you brought it up, I wanted to ask, I wanted to ask just a little bit, because when I first read this, I was thinking, and this was probably the influence of just having watched Greyhound. I was thinking, I'm looking at I'm looking at a movie with Tom Hanks here. But the more I thought about it, I mean, this is really the character really reminds me more of Bogart, right? And not even really Rick Blaine Bogart, but more key Largo, Bogart. So Frank McLeod and just the fabulous key Largo, which is really just still one of my favorite movies. Oh, really? Yeah. G Robinson is the bad guy. Yeah, the one with that. And. So I am wondering. Now I know you thought about your daughter as maybe the face of the female character. Did you have in mind as you were writing it? Someone who was the face of the captain or of the submarine commander. Well, yes, unfortunately, none of them are available. Heath Ledger would have been great a young Harrison Ford would have been, well, he maybe not so much Harrison for. I wanted someone who was quite a submarine captain before, right? He's played. Or Russell Crowe, a young Russell Crowe. A tough guy who's very empathetic. And you see him, the darkness in their eyes, and lately I've been watching the show like the rest of America. Yellowstone. And one of the actors is Luke Grimes. He plays the son, the only living son of John dutton, and he's got that empathetic tough guy, even though he's not huge, but he would be nice for Miriam Natalie Portman was someone else I thought of. You know, I'm not sure who else, because it's got to be someone who's small but tough, but capable of humor, those are hard things for actors to all bring to the table, but I would love to see that happen. Sarah Michelle Gellar is active again. And I mean, she might feel some of those roles. Yeah. Josh Brolin would be another one. Actually, there's another name that comes to mind. He's a little bit older now, but he has, he has that character.

"Adam West. Adam West is a good choice though. Underrated Batman. I think about that. The bat tuci. The pure west. But I would go, Joker was, man, that's tough. Jack. See Jack's my number. Yeah. I'm gonna go Jack. Number one guy. My number one. Guy. I'll go, Jack. I'll go Mark Hamill, and then Heath Ledger. Pop three. Jared Leto is a distant tenth. I honestly kind of forgot about him. And I don't mean that rudely. He was like, I just been like, I didn't even think about him. I wouldn't even consider him a Joker character. No. To me. No. He's barely a Joker character. I'm just gonna hurt you real. Bad. It's almost peewee Herman ish. I just didn't like him with the grill and all the tats. I'm like, ledger made it his own, but Leto tried to do the same. And I was like, oh, no. I mean, that might have been David ayer as well, but whoever followed heath ledger was going to have a hard time. Yeah. So we knew it was going to be a throw away. Duncan on him. He is a good actor. I've seen him in other things. Maybe not morbius. I think walking Phoenix following that up is like, that's the Joker we needed after Leto. I agree. We knew Leto was going to be a throwaway because he was the one that followed heath. I'll still watch Suicide Squad like director's cut if they ever drop it. No. The air released the Snyder cut. Release. If I'm really drunk, I might do that. If I'm too drunk to know what I'm watching. You'll do a four hour Snyder cut. Cut of suicide. Squad. Yeah, it's been another episode of cinema. God.

"'cause she looked very familiar. I'm not sure we'd have to Google that. She's been another stuff. And I just can't think about top of my head. Ned Beatty was nominated for best supporting actor for his role as the corporate boss. Basically for that also for one scene. Is that monologue? Just that modeling was amazing. Yeah. So yeah, Peter Finch was the first posthumous Oscar winner and the only one until Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight. He was the next and second one. So yeah, we're gonna discuss the plot a little bit. Fair warning for you guys. I'll see you all talking about the wine really quickly. This is the roto Cabernet that's a Chilean Cabernet. We're doing both cabs. Just to keep a thing together, the first one for the previous Obi-Wan, many so that we talked about, we did freak show Cabernet, freak show kind of fit the theme of this movie because it is a carnival of craziness. You know, it's just wacky. I mean, this is a much more, I think it's almost like an earthier you guys just had like a synchronized drink though. I know. I didn't get the cue. Sorry. This is a much more smoother than freak show, I would say. It's different, for sure. It's fuller. I would almost have kind of a leathery texture to it, I think. What the fuck? I think it's got some leather to it. Hold on, yeah. Try that again. Let's do another synchronized hold on, shit. Okay. Kind of an earthy leathery like it's weird, almost like very dry. So I don't understand the design tasting. You said leathery and pucker. I thought you were weird. And then I took a sip, and then I was like, sure enough. Leathery works perfectly. Let's drink a belt. Yeah. I just need that's what I need when I'm eating food or drinking something. I need somebody to tell me about it as I need Guy Fieri. To tell me like, oh, this is a balsamic vinegar and a glaze. Yeah, that would make me enjoy my food more. You need a guide through flavortown. Exactly. Yeah. You need a flavor. I need a tour. I need a flavor tour. Yeah. And this was like a $10 cab from Chile. So I would recommend it. It's called roto..

"So presumably if we get another one, it'll be the cops have been cleaned up a bit. A little bit less dirty. Yeah. It'll head the way that no one's did where it's like I mentioned it's all cleaned up. It's too clean. And then somebody comes in to take advantage of how clean it is. Bane or you know, it was like victory is defeated you. Anyway, I enjoyed it. There were things about it. I did not enjoy. But what did you not enjoy? I mean, what were the demerits? I mean, like we were talking about earlier. It's three hours. It's a 175 minutes. And there are for a movie to be that long. It is very humorous. It is very dark. It is very dour for that long. It's definitely not a lot of humor in this movie. No. So it is exhausting in that way. It's like we're talking about 7, where it's like for a movie to be that dart for that long. It's a lot to take in. Especially for superhero movies, especially for a movie that not only that, but has a lot of Batman movies before that to compare it to. Where you can remember not only scenes that were iconic, but funny. Movies, even Heath Ledger had some humorous moments in his movies. Oh, Heath Ledger had a great comedic timing. I think that was, he played such a good Joker because of the comedic timing. He was a little Clowney. Yeah. Like when he's jamming the detonator and it keeps not going off and then it blows up behind him. Yeah. Which I think was unscripted. It was an improv. Yeah, I think that was improv. Yeah. So it's like, I think about that. And those movies, it's like, when you have to compare it to movies, because those of you who are dark, but they still, you think about the funnier moments when you think about them. You think about the comedic timing of those actors had. And some of that was missing here. Not a lot of comedy. But you do get fully hatched characters. Yes. The three hours gives you enough time to see catwoman's story arc. And you get C resolution on the story arc. I agree. It doesn't get left. It's not a half story. No. We get to see all of her and we get to see her from beginning to end. I think that's something to really be happy with. Yeah. Because I think a lesser movie would leave that as just like a half baked story. And bring it up later for a different movie. Yeah, just like leave it unresolved. Yeah. So it reminds me of the YouTube channel, the honest trailers when they break down and infinity war, where they were like talking about. This is a lot of movie. It's like there is so much movie in this movie. The Batman is that way. It's like, I feel like there was a lot of movie crayon at the end of this movie..

Matthew McConaughey's Wild Hair Story
"One area that receded a long time ago was Matthew McConaughey's hairline. And if you look now, it's completely back. It's all back. I'm talking about a straight hairline in the front, like that could have been drawn better with a marker. He looks fantastic. His main is his manly as it ever was when he came up the ranks. It was one of the reasons why I thought this guy can't be a romantic comedy guy. His hair is he had like the Heath Ledger. Heath Ledger had a hair had a hair set that you knew eventually was gonna go. And he thought if you shave it and he was in like his late 20s when it started to go on him. And you thought, well, if there's anything that will hold him back, not to say hair is that important. You go, okay, he flex is gonna have a hair issue. I have a hair issue. Fuck everybody knows that. I shave mine off a couple of years ago because I got tired of looking down so thin on top. And in every man, every man grows a bolt on every man. Let's say let's say he's 75% of men in their 50s grow a bowl spot in the back of their head. It's natural. But since very few of us see pictures of us from behind, when you finally do eagle wait, wait, that's what my hand looks like from behind? Holy shit, I gotta shave this off. And that's what I did. I'm a Connie. He's hairstyle getting back to him. It just got better and better, and it's thicker than usual.

"He'll be interesting. So the next thing is talking about batman the new paddison trailer A colin i had a long discussion on. This guy said okay. This looks like a seriously psycho batman and he said on tired of the cycle batman. I'm like i. Don't think the the christian bale or michael keaton and all the other guys. They weren't real psycho. This would look psycho. He looks as psycho as joker. Honestly i think i agree and i i. I haven't always enjoyed seeing the hardening of characters like that. You and i mean wolverine has gone through various different bases of really being a killing machine or really having a heart and so as batman and so as we can start naming the characters that have kind of the punisher was created to be a very much an anti hero mass murderer. But then if you direct command the human trafficker people. Yeah go kill them all. Go get them so don't france. Hey it's out. I'm i i in the same way that i thought nobody could out. Joker jack nicholson and then heath ledger. Kind of did it. I'm always looking forward to see what they do. I don't actually go in with. Oh we can't do it. That's not good. I was very curious. Even from every fourth michael keaton announcement of just. Because i really had that alabama is not a well man you know. He's learned to play bruce wayne. He's really batman. If you will and persuaded aid jazz mask at. That's the mask. So i'm curious i don't i don't know that. I know pattinson enough from other work to say that he was like teen-idol vampire type embarrassing. And i mean i didn't think he was embarrassing in that. I thought that was still okay. I get by that. You know what i mean it i. There are some actors. I think are so light that we really be hard for me to put them into that role. Tom holland would not make a good batman. Maybe that's it. He's in to maurice too boyish. If stu like innocent and cheerful and you need to have a certain grit and barashi in the guide is not experiment. Hasn't been through tragedy and yet he's we have big was the wisecracking angry not the The brutal est angle. You know what. I mean so so speaking of spiderman two. We know the movies coming out a little over a month for my birthday. That's what we're doing. We know it has to do with multiple universe the quantum universe doctor strange they end up bringing in some of the older dylan's and actors. So here's my thing. Here's what they need to do. And i i would. I would buy the forte version of this movie. They did this lead. Have a four gate. Tv so we know were pretty. Sure michael keaton's go be in that as the vulture of wolter we're going through all these universes wouldn't it be sweet if he transformed into batman even just for a moment on screen it a spiderman movie. Wouldn't that be cool. I hope that studios and especially the people that are running now. There is a is a possibility is not only about money and protecting the character that they're such fans that they wanna see that ready player one moment where every single video game character is on the screen that has framed roger rabbit..

All right, Ryan, do you have a Facebook? Be able to just send it to him on Discord? Oh, send it to Ryan. There we go. Did you get it right? Don't read it, though, don't read it. No, no, no, I got in my mind. Okay, wait, wait, let me go back. Okay. In your best creepy storyteller voice. Okay, you ready? Okay. Is this a poem? The first phrases of the palm. Oh, it's based on Edgar Allan Poe's the Raven. Oh, okay. I think didn't know that. That's very helpful. Okay, ready? Yes, please. Once upon a midnight supple while I pondered frog like and stinky. Over many a quaint and curious clydesdale horse of forgotten Popeye. While I snorted nearly napping, suddenly there came a DVD copy of the movie jaws. This guy's having a stroke. As a butt gently rapping, wrapping at my floor and store. Tis some denials but I muttered Tapping it forward store. Only this and nothing more. I distinctly, I remember it was in the opalescent December. And each separate fisting Ember rot, it's forward form by four pick up. Eagerly, I pounced the morrow. Blissfully, I had sought to borrow from my Rodrigo's surcease of sorrow, sorrow for the weathered lenore for the slimy and pristine maiden whom the angels named Priscilla, nameless here forevermore. Bravo, Ryan. Bravo. Holy shit. That was. That was weirdly beautiful. Yeah. And it sounds like a guy that we're good. Just it was Edgar Allan Poe, just having a fucking mushroom trip and also having a stroke. You just very good. Well, those were good. Those were good Halloween scary stories. Are you guys are you guys feeling like getting into this? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Because I want to talk about horror movies in general, and I feel like it'll be more constrained if I have a specific movie to talk about. Sure. So right, we'll start this off by you said you've seen this movie budget times, right? You watch it like every year. So not only was this movie straight to DVD, like it didn't go to theaters. But I own the Blu-ray. Wow. So yeah. I'm one of the select few who have seen the commentary. Okay, tight. So how many times do you think you've seen this movie? Probably 7 or 8. Okay, that's pretty good. That's a pretty good as a pretty good amount. Jace, this is your first time watching it. It is. Yeah. Yeah. Me as well. This, of course, is a Halloween themed movie. It's called trick or treat. Released in, well, Ryan, do you have who has the synopsis? I think it's Jace, right? I do. I did somehow. I did one really recently, so. Yeah, I believe Jace has a synopsis. Jace, you want to just take it away? Sure. Yeah, tell me about. Okay, we can get in, you know? Yeah, we watched the movie trick our treat. Really was a treat. So the movie is non biased review, Jason Jesus Christ. Can't be throwing out stuff like that. Yes, he does it, man. This movie is a it's got a real Halloween pathology based horror that surrounds a small town in Ohio. That has a large Halloween festival every year. And where things are a little wacky. We get about four major plot lines that follow the principle, a group of young women, visiting the town, a group of children, and an old dude. They're probably more. But we were kind of just presented in non linear time. Actually, I think kind of moving backwards. I think we started at the end and then we segment our way of fiction. Yeah. Yeah. We get some history of the town. We see that the principle is a murderer. The murderer gets murdered. We're introduced to saw Wayne. How you say it? Yeah. And Gaelic saw Wayne. And the cutest little murderer drop ever. Sam, who is probably my favorite who, so Sam is the little devil incarnate, the spirit of Halloween. And he pretty much will just murder you if you do anything that's antithesis to Halloween thematic events. So if you blow out your jack-o'-lantern, you're going to get stabbed. If you don't give a kid candy, you're going to get stabbed. If you're not wearing a Halloween costume, sad. All justified. Yeah, if it's Halloween, and you still have a 2014 presidential election stand a thing in your stabbed GTS staff, wearing a Joker costume, like the Heath Ledger's Joker. I'd probably stab for that. It's like seriously still doing that. Walking Phoenix Joker is also stabbed. Yep, absolutely. Any other stabs? They're probably a lot. I was gonna say Napoleon Dynamite, but I think that's come back around like an answer pretty cool. It's pretty cool. Actually, by for that one. Yeah. Yeah, go ahead, sorry. I think we're just, I think we need to talk about the movie itself outside of the story. And the. Anthropology. Now, dinosaur based horror movie on Halloween. So on a day when the veil between the living anthro means like human. I thought it was a would be like paleo. I had to have the cool clothes that are on like three racks. They rode dinosaurs.

Did Brittany Murphy's Relationship With Simon Monjack Kill Her?
"If you remember correctly, she dies in December 20th, 2009, she's 32 years old. The autopsy lists her death as an accident caused by pneumonia, anemia, and a bunch of drug intoxications. And I remember when I went to the hospital 5 years ago with a bad cough, I woke up and I said to my wife, I feel like Mike Tyson is punching my kidneys and my chest at the same time. I gotta go to the ER. I never thought of ammonia. I get there, they come back from the x-rays and shit and they go, you've got super pneumonia in your left lung. Your kidneys are failing. And I thought, oh, wow, I'm just like Heath Ledger. And they come back and go, wait, you're also anemic. And I thought, great, now I'm Brittany Murphy. Either way, I'm gonna die. They both died, so I guess this is it for me. This is curtains. I pulled through. But Brittany dies, 5 months later, Simon monjack dies at 40 years old in the same room as Murphy did. And with all of the exact same cause of death, acute pneumonia and severe anemia. Now Brittany was on a period, okay? Simon wasn't. So what's with the anemia thing? They don't really get into that. But it's a big stunning coincidence, and it's been hanging over their deaths. This big mystery has been hanging over their debts for a long time, and a lot of people say that maybe they were murdered. And the film kind of considers these theories, but also it uses a lot of its time to examine the toxic and ultimately lethal ramifications of Murphy, meaning Simon monjack, because that's when she really began to die. I hate to say it like that, but that's

"Yeah and he doesn't say anything he doesn't respond to because that's not who he loves so it. I think the movie does a really good job of telling you like with just the story the these guy that this is a a love affair that these two guys have as opposed to just like a lot of other movies that would just be like They're gay so they'll go for anybody right of the same sex like i thought the ebert did a really good job. A call out in reviews as you know. People are kinda gay cowboy film which is like a cruel joke. Good like a trivia this movie. Yeah that's that's a one hundred percent. And i think that's like i. I do wonder though like sometimes like how movies like this do shape the public perception. Because it's very hard to watch this movie and think that the i mean the the viewpoint anything else than the only crime that's committed here is the fact that these men were made to hide the truth about themselves to themselves to each other society and all the pain to themselves and the loved ones at that caused that deception the murders the murders or crimes. But right well. I mean that's i guess that's the thing is like weather like i 'cause i that's something to talk about like the final scene with heath ledger and finding a beta of his lovers like did that really happened was the same transposing.

"I did see one being brought in and it was used so you bring up a really really really good point And i have a really good question on that. You're talking about production and film crews things like that you sent me something the other day about conjuring okay in about the show crews conjuring and all that stuff so when you're a production so i do production to we all do this thing right but i haven't done it on scale you have but if you're in a production and you're doing a movie like the conjuring and you're doing a movie like the exorcist in you're you're in there and you say odds things in your standing in the center of pentagram shit like that. Do you think that during the filming of these movies that you're opening up things even though you're acting in you're doing this for the bottom line in the budget and you're doing this for the For the box right. Do you think that movie film. Productions can open up certain things i will answer accidentally opened things up during production will answer you that it depends on the belief system of the actors involved in the intent and the belief of those actors. It's just like voodoo more. You believe in it. The more it works. I'm in new territory. Radio brother of actors on a said that are bunch of catholics and they have the belief of good versus evil. Satans real you know. Don't look around with this. And that and they go in there acting and they do their thing can the accidentally open something of absolutely with them absolutely and that same scenario that you're talking about also happen when they were filming the exorcist. Yeah i now right yeah. So there's a lot of bad shit that happened during that as well. So i mean you have to remember. It's the cycle psyche of the person. You know what that person's belief system is along with like you said you know there Intent when all this is going on and you gotta remember actors when they're acting us a lot of intent to get across their their and their their personality and the emotion. That's traveling through them at that time. So so they get into character so because of that. You know if you have an actor that's really into character and he's pushing it and pushing it and pushing it. Think of the amount of energy they're expanding they're going on a whole new wavelength. So they're they're getting into character and they're getting into who they are as an actor in acting the part out as a demonic person or somebody possess or something like that and then all of a sudden like think about Heath ledger right..

Bradley Beal Bam out of bio. Draymond Green Game. Dollar is on their Jayson Tatum. They've got a pretty good lineup. So they lost to Nigeria. Wait a minute. There's some Nigerian players who are actually NBA players. Right there are and there are a few NBA players missing from that team that are still playing in the finals. No Djourou HOLIDAY.

Make those changes. I wanna see those changes made. That's cool definitely go with it. I don't like they had the make and tony. Drake off the taskmaster. I feel like the entire movie. They could have had a different person playing. You know taskmaster. Maybe we could get. We have got the proper. Tony masters being taskmaster this entire movie and had a fucking villain that had a personality that had a personality that was like interacting with black widow and fucking with her. It's like there's something to be said about a villain that's got a personality. That's interacting with the main characters. It just kind of elevates the story like that's where you get heath ledger joker that's where you do get a fan of that that's actually interacting with our characters and like fucking like you just have to see how they react to these characters and like them talking back and forth during battles but this whole movie is dependent upon this one scene at the end of the movie.

Right is that i think kind of to work with time travel effectively in fiction to me like time travel or time management stuff it needs to be a complication rate. There needs to. There's something about the fact that time is real and it's not man it time is something that you can't grab you can't touch it. It's a thing that all all of humanity and even the even the god of mischief right we're also at the whim of the passage of time and it's barely real but it's also the realist thing in the world and we all die right like if you're if you're gonna make plots based on the idea of time mischief.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
Best Moments of the Golden Globes 2021
"Think of the globes as an entertainment event that are really big. Audience still watches in part because a lot of people see it as the kickoff for oscar season. Let me just say if you're queasy about these awards being granted any weight at all you will get. I think no argument from us. That is certainly not our position so to the degree that they mean much. There certainly were some good property. Some good movies and television that were honored Start with nomad land. Which one sort of the top top movie prize. Best motion picture drama and also best director for chloe jau. We just covered this Recently on pop culture happy hour so we don't necessarily need to rehash that whole thing but we were big fans. I loved seeing khloe jowl win. Yeah yeah The top prize for a motion picture. Musical or comedy went to borat subsequent film a movie that i like to say not for linda's but i know people who who love it really love it also winning for that was sasha baron cohen who won best actor for a musical or comedy. The best actor in a drama this one delivered one of the best moments of the night for sure that award went to chadwick boseman for my rainey's black bottom boy that was that was quite a moment accepting the award on his behalf was his wife. Taylor simone lead word and look the globes are trashy and meaningless and then something real happens out of nowhere and that was a really effective speech and a really effective moment in an evening. That felt shambolic in chaotic. Otherwise something beautiful something inspiring something that would amplify that little voice inside of all of us that tells you can tell you to keep going calls you back to what you were meant to be doing. At this moment in history he would think it kind of felt similar to the moment of that whole series of heath. Ledger getting his posthumous awards for his role in dark knight and it felt really earned and it didn't phillips just because he had passed away like this was the role of a lifetime for him and i'm really glad to see him being honored in that way. Yeah it was a very very moving speech. If you didn't see it. I encourage you to seek it out. It's all over the place that award. I think was wonderful to see not too surprising. One that i think was surprising was Andrew day for the united states versus billie holiday aisha. You saw this to the surprising not too much. I think that there was a lot of buzz for her. And i think that it was more likely she was going to win award for this. Then she might be to win for an oscar if she were to get an oscar nomination but she does a really great job of sounding like billie holiday without sounding too much like her like. It's feeling like mimicry. And she is by far the best thing about the movie and we'll actually be covering it in our tomorrow so everyone can check it out fantastic. I'm extremely excited. I haven't seen it yet. In addition to that the first award of the night actually in of of presentation was daniel. Columbia for judas. The black messiah. They had a little glitch with his audio. You know they were figuring it out. We've all had that glenn said the motto of the pandemic was going to remind your muted. It was a little bit of a mom. You're muted kinda moment. But i was not surprised that he that he won that he's wonderful in that movie. I think you didn't pay on. Is this on. Is this on a cool cool. He really is. And it's a solid win. I mean like he started speaking and you heard millions of voices crying out. You're on mute. Dan mute and i think that moment should make the montage in years to come if there is still a golden globe sincere to come because who knows but like that will be the most emblematic acceptance speech of two thousand twenty one easily that will crystallize this moment in time.

Everything we know about The Rock's antihero movie 'Black Adam'
"Okay, So the rock, right? I'm already interested. No, right. This is I mean, this is dark too. I think and quote unquote heavy. So are you familiar with black Adam? I am not so black. Adam is a fictional character who appears in the DC comics. And I guess he first appeared as a one time villain. For the first issue of the Marvel family comic book in like 1945, but Black Adam was revived. Ah has a recurring character. After D C comics first licensed and then acquired faucet characters, blah, blah, blah. Then it just goes, they begin publishing what was the captain? Marvel family stories? And she exam so it goes back to all of that, and he was a corrupted ancient Egyptian predecessor of Captain Marvel. Okay? So black, Adam fought his way to modern times to challenge the hero and his Marvel Family associates. But now he's been redefined by DC comics writers. And so he is going to be black Adam, who is ranked as whose I G n Idea. It's like a movie website. OK, 16th greatest comic book villains of all time. So so he's going to be a villian. Interesting. Well, you know what in wrestling fans will remember this aboutthe rock? He plays a great A great villain because he was hell for many years, meaning like a bad guy, okay? And and he was fantastic as a hell still likeable, Which makes him sort of like an anti hero, but but really, really good. So So if you're having trouble thinking, we'll wait. The rock is always so winsome and always the good guy. He could play the bad guy in a way that there will be some people rooting for the bad guy sort of not Not in the same way in terms of what the performance will be like. But you know, Heath Ledger's turn. Is the Joker in the Dark knight. You're You're like you want another joker senior, like, Bring back the Joker. I want to see Joker get ultimately you're hoping for good to win out. But I wonder if the rock as a quote unquote villain will have

Senna: The Early Years
"Dan Pass Gas. We're talking about the early years of Ayrton Senna. You know him as the legendary driver famous for winning multiple Formula One championships in nineteen, eighty, eight, nineteen, Ninety and nineteen ninety one he won an incredible forty one gram freeze on seventeen different tracks over the course of nine seasons. You probably also know how the story ends. At the age of thirty four while racing at the nineteen ninety four, San Marino, Grand Prix Senna crash on lap, set on leaving the track and a speed over a hundred eighty miles per hour, slammed into a concrete wall, killing him on impact. The. Final Jenny home two with L.. Tragic death cut a storied career short and much like Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger or to park. It froze centers, accomplishments, and magnetic personality in amber. Deprived of the slow decline to any great talent at the top of their profession will eventually fall. Victim to these names are instead forever frozen their lawyers, and so they remained. Forever Young. Senator is now a legend. But where do legends begin with an origin story of course? So what senators version of being bitten by a radioactive spider, finding a weird lamp, genie or floating down the Nile in a basket made of Reeds? Well like Spiderman Aladdin or Moses Senna his monogamous, but before Senate was sent off, his last name wasn't even Senna at all. His parents worry that he was uncoordinated and even had him test report. He was born into wealth, but although wealth can definitely give you access to the world of bracing, it can't make fast and Santa wasn't just fast. He was the fastest. So what was the moment Senna truly became Senate to answer that we need to start on March twenty first nineteen sixty the day. When in Sao Paulo Brazil. Ericsson senator silver was born. Welcome to pass gas. That was a long intro. Great Man I'm. I got a little choked up there for a second. I mean this guy is so important and just such. Like I, don't know he's just a legend, and he's just like so important to so many people, and I'm really excited that we're going to die, have really deep into his life, but I mean just. A man just. I got a little teary eyed. When you're talking about the forever, young stuff is yeah I sure. Senna is a like I said an intro. He's a legend. Almost like a mythic figure at this point. Just such a hallowed name so revered in in in motor sports and the car world in general. Just like Oh yeah, you hear senators like he was I mean he was the greatest, but like it's just like an instant assumption of just like. Perfection basically right. Yeah, he's like Michael Jordan. Yeah, no thought given to, and we're going to see why that is because. There's a lot of good reason for that I. Think the moment where it hit where I was like Oh, damn was when? You when I I didn't realize he was thirty four when he died and I'm just about to turn thirty four, and so I'm like. I gotTA. Do. Joe You're the air and of automotive podcasting damage. Out Year Man. Is talking about how I am scared about dying. But what I've noticed is a lot of a lot of pieces that talk about center. Don't really dive into his early life. which is what we're going to do today? And I'm really excited about that. Hopefully will give people some insight into where this dude came from, and I, think yeah without further ado. Let's get into the life. The early life of one Ayrton Senna. Are you guys ready? I'm ready. Ready sale ever be. Ready, legit. You WanNa give. Fired up I think my new my new thing is. Fire Dub! Different words fired up. I could see that on a shirt for sure, but D. U. P. Oh, yeah, fire! Up I get a man. It's great. It's solid. C. memes are better when you explained. A Ayrton Senna Da. Silva was born in nineteen sixty in Sao. Paulo Brazil at the pro Ma tre. I'm going to by the butcher every Brazilian. Names Zillion were. Portuguese Brazilian. I'm going to butcher at all today. Just letting you know. Pro Monterey! Maternity Hospital of Santana a hospital I assumed was named after the legendary guitarist areas. Warn! Ayrton's father Milton Dasilva was a landowner and factory owner, and among other businesses Milton owned an auto parts company, and his knowledge and connections within the industry would become a key entry point for Airton into the world of racing
The Big Picture
'Joker' Is Getting Serious Award Show Buzz
"This being the Oscar show we are of course talking about movies that may or may not contend for Oscar's just before we get began recording we were we're discussing the Venice Film Festival's winner of the Golden Lion and that movie of course Amanda is called Joker now jokers for those of you who've been sleeping under under a rock todd Phillips's. I guess you just described it aptly as a remake of taxi driver but with the joker we think that's what that movie is going to be. Neither you nor I have seen correct and until we see it. I think is going to be difficult for us to weigh in specifically on whether it's a problematic movie whether it's a wonderful movie. I don't know I also also just candidly I'm looking forward to it. Though I think we've started on the show a handful of times were not looking forward to the discourse around the movie that we don't have to look for it. It's already here. It's here. It's here I. I'm not really a part of it and I said that I would not be a part of it. I continue to not be in part because as you said we haven't seen it yes. We're only citing it here. Because the idea of joke entering the Oscar race I think is significant. I noted this over the weekend but just four of the previous forty Golden Lion winners have gone on to become best picture nominees two of those four of them in the past two years. Those movies are the shape of Water Roma both of which were if not major favorites significant contenders so it's possible that as as things evolve maybe Venice's evolving into perhaps a bellwether for the academy I it's very hard to say because in addition to joker being acknowledged they also acknowledged alledged Roman Polanski's new film officer and a spy which won the silver lion and it's notable that the academy expelled Roman Polanski last year from the academy so I do think that a festival like Venice which you and I discussed a couple of weeks ago as we previewed the season has the chance to significant significantly influence where we're going the season and I feel a complicated question in the sense that you and I are having this conversation now and a bunch of people lost their minds on twitter this weekend about joker winning the Golden Lion. I you know I think that happened on Saturday afternoon. A PS and you watched all the tweets role in it. Everyone being like Oh. Oh Shit Oscar racist change like Fam- It is early September calm down you know that is the nature of the Oscars at this. Wayne is like a bunch of people just like hidden at retrieve Biden and being like game changer so I guess it's a game changer I also so there was instant hand ringing ringing of being like a Venezia's responding to the discourse and they are saying no you will not shame us we will not that'd be politically correct which is like. They're not at all. It's Venice. It's just like a bunch of people taking boats around and being like we're having a nice international time like I promise Lucrecia Martel who is the president of the jury this year like did not read your tweets and doesn't care so to the extent that all of this okay so you're just you really feeling it right now and it's great. I just like Lucrecia. Martel was just chilling in a boat somewhere. That's what you're saying. She was in a Gondola. I hope she had what a great time watching hangover three director. She deserves it. I hope she got some time like on a plaza somewhere with an imperative because that's what you gotTa do when you go adventist okay it's not read stupid people's tweets about like what joker reflects about the twenty first century masculinity or whatever she doesn't care they. I don't care so in that sense no but in the sense that we are in a prison of our own making and all of the Oscar discourses now but because of people reacting and just kind of shutting each other across the void I just did a monologue about it and the Oscar Shell. You're participating of course participating and we say we're not going to and then we do. I think you definitely put your finger on something very smart. which is that the reactionary nature of certain movies or at least the way they're perceived to be reactionary canary invariably influences the races you know the green book conversation happened in part because there is at least the expectation that older members of the academy did not not want to be told what they could or could not like now joker is not exactly the same as green book even though we haven't seen joker? I feel pretty safe assumption that they don't have the same posture. Let's say but I do think that there is a chance that a movie like this could sneak. Its way in because of what you're saying because there is the sort of like. Don't tell tell me what kind of a movie I'm allowed to like not like. I'm not totally sure. Todd Phillips is not necessarily historically known as a awards filmmaker and Joaquin Phoenix INEX- is a bit of a circuitous personality in the world. You know he's not the kind of person who I think is going to go to one hundred after parties and kiss babies to get his nomination despite the fact that he's understood to be the master of his craft etc etc.. We'll have to just wait and see you know we're. We're not far away from seeing this movie. The only thing I would say flip side of that is that it would be so Oscars for them to finally recognized the Superhero Genre with this movie that is a remake of an odd to all the seventy s movies that these these academy jokers grew up on. I don't think that that would be a fair recognition of what soup the superhero genre is in the industry and I don't think that would be a fair recognition this movie which I haven't even seen but you can see you can see them get. The one thing I'll say is though there's one thing working for them working the thing working against it. The one thing we're going forward is the sort of like elevated seventies thing that you're mentioning which gives it a perhaps a measure of credibility in some people's minds. The flipside is this character has already been celebrated by the Academy Heath Ledger already one thing this character so we know that the academy is maybe more open to the idea of a chaos agent in its mix. You know what I'm saying yes but the academy recognizes like the King of England and a character like every three years so that doesn't doesn't really matter okay the one thing that we can say about joker is that it's clear that he is this week's winner of is he running because joker is running. It is clear the joker is here to stay for the Oscars conversation so we'll get into him more. I suspect that we'll do a little bit of a deep dive on the show in October. I WanNa ask you about the article the because it's very clearly titled Joker and calling I mean I understand that the joker is the character but I think they're also trying to do something by not having him be the joker. It's it's a word play has also he's a joker because we're all joker rate so the collective joke asking you. I want to set some intention for Oscar season. Are we going to call him. The joker are we just going to call him joker. Can we just see the movie and find out what if he's not the canonical joker. Tell okay. It's Ah you're editor. Brain is working on this Monday morning. We'll just have to wait and see because it's completely plausible that this is not operating in the traditional Batman Mythology. Oh Gee and so thus it's just a reference to how all leaders and men with power jokers of the world listen. I'm just trying to respect the film and the filmmakers occurs and engage with the text people. Don't think that I'm going to do that was movie but I am well. We appreciate your your candor.

Celebrities Play Roulette With Drugs
"But what I have a problem with is I kind of use the example of people playing Russian roulette. If you have a gun and you put one bullet in the chamber and you spin the chamber, you got to one in 6 chance, you're going to be killed. If you play with 6 bullets, you got a 100% chance you're going to die. Exactly. I think these celebrities know when they're taking percocet Vicodin and Xanax valium and whatever the hell else they're putting their system. They know they're probably putting three to four bullets in the chamber and there's a great chance they're going to die. But I think a lot of them have this sort of self fulfilling prophecy this romantic thing about dying young and leaving a good-looking corpse et cetera. I live fast without young, exactly. I think that's part of it. I know that he, I don't know if you know this, but heath was Heath Ledger was obsessed with a young English singer named Nick Drake, who committed suicide at 25 years old by taking pills. Press conference where he talked about that, yes, I did know that. And it's terrifying how people glorify the celebrities that are gone too soon and never forget the anniversary of prince's death. It's just, it's so painful to watch such a wasteful loss and when there's people who do have the knowledge around. But these celebrities are not turning to those of us who can actually help them. Some do, some do believe me, I've been privy to a lot of secrets of a lot of them. And a lot of them.

AJ Shares Heath Ledger's Poignant Statement Months Before His Death
"I remember hanging out with heath at a Hollywood nightclub after the document wrapped. And he seems somewhat stressed. I mean, he would tell me more as the night went on and he dropped his guard, but really we talked about being fathers to young daughters and how great it is, and yet how terrifying it is at the same time. He also described the feeling as a bit of a catch 22. He said something like, you know, I feel good about dying now because I know I'm alive in her. But then how could I die when I want to be around her for the rest of my life? And I completely understood what he meant. But that comment would take on a bigger, deeper meaning a few months

Why Did Heath Ledger Die?
"At two 45 p.m., January 22nd, 2008, Heath Ledger was discovered lying naked and unconscious in his New York City apartment by his housekeeper and his masseuse, Diana will lose him. They call paramedics who arrived at three 33 p.m. three minutes later, ledger was pronounced dead. By the time they stuffed him into an ambulance, there were already about 300 people outside his loft at four 21 broom street and Soho. Ledger's death was completely unexpected. Rumors immediately spread that he committed suicide. But that was very unlikely. At only 28 years old, physically very fit and at the peak of his career, ledger was already midway through filming a party really enjoyed, and he had a daughter he was crazy about. In other words, he had no reason to intentionally kill himself. The autopsy concluded that he died from a cocktail of prescription painkillers that his doctors would not prescribe precisely because of the fatal effect they would have when taken together. So who gave these drugs to ledger? And why did he take such a dangerous dose? Is it possible that he was tricked or forced into taking the medication? In other words, as some people think was Heath Ledger murdered? On the Internet, fans in a conspiracy theorist immediately concluded he was on a long list of stars who've died surprisingly young, especially in their late 20s. Like Joplin, Hendrix, Morrison, Cobain, Winehouse, all of whom died at 27. And there are some crazy, even highlighted that the strange imagery in his final film, the imaginarium of doctor parnassus, could be interpreted as satanic or Illuminati symbolism. They said, maybe ledger is some kind of sacrifice in a greater ritual to obtain more power in the film industry. That's all
