"We send out a weekly newsletter and every month you have the opportunity to get a bonus show for April, Adam mentioned it in our mirror discussion. We did dive into spike jonze's her at ten, family members look for that. It is waiting for you in your feed. We've gotten some feedback on it. Michael Phillips, how about this? A blurb from Michael Phillips. A Michael Phillips blurb. That's like gold, man. He said, great at Ben, best film of that year. Okay. Michael was a big her fan, apparently Andrew Howell also said it was a blind spot for me, so perfect timing to catch up with it, great discussion, and Mike merrigan shared this revisit was an outrageously good episode. Well, thank you, Mike. Who's going to argue with The Godfather of film spotting madness, and we're patting ourselves on the back a little bit there, perhaps. They're using other words, but I do think it was a very good discussion. And if you like that film and you're inclined to seek out some additional film spotting every month, her is a good episode to start with if you become a film spotting family member. Now you can also access our archive as a family member. If you go all the way back and I'm not saying anyone should listen to these for the record, but they're there. Andrei Rublev and solaris, Sam and I, we talked about those two movies together, joint tarkovsky discussion as part of our overlooked O tours marathon. So we were admitting then with that name that they were overlooked or tours by us. Three O tours, tarkovsky, ozu, Sam fuller, where the filmmaker. So back in February 2006, we talked about Andrei Rublev and solaris in the same show. Josh, I don't know exactly how long we just spent on mirror, but do you want to guess how long the entire segment was about both of those films? Oh man. I'm going to guess, I'm going to say those were a little more formidable. So you might have gone a tad longer, 14 minutes. Okay, see, I knew you were going to rightfully guess something really low. We were actually over 25. Okay. But it was both of those films. And it's kind of funny to think about. We also did a top 5 on that show. The entire episode was about 51 minutes. Inconceivable today. Inconceivable. Now, before we finally close out this show, I do want to mention how good a film solaris is and how much it's come up over the course of this show's history. We have to thank for this knowledge. Bill McLaughlin, a listener who embarked on a project Josh to listen to every show in the archive and make a letter box list of every movie that's ever been mentioned. Now, not only that, he would list in the notes, the show it was talked about on the date and why. Why it came up. I've mentioned this before or plugged it before, but it was maybe a couple months ago, and he was up to 2012 or something. Well, now he's done. The film spotting guide to the archives. That's a letter box. It's insane. It's such a good resource. And I used it today to find out about solaris 3848 individual titles that have been mentioned over the 18 years of film spotting. Quick list, solaris, 88 top 5 dystopias slash visions of the future. One 14 top 5 mindbenders, one 33, top 5 scariest moments. One 71 top 5 movies about memory. Two 34 top 5 movies about mortality. 360 8 top 5 losing my mind movies for 16 top 5 doppelganger movies. Number four 37, top 5 movie locations we wish we could visit. I remember feeling like I was going out on a limb with that one. 5 40 top 5 streaming sci-fi movies and 5 75 top 5 films of 19 72. Sounds like saliva should be in the Pantheon. I was going to say that as well. It probably should be put away, but I also wanted to highlight that letter box list and say our thanks are sincere gratitude to build McLaughlin for taking that time and is devotion to the show. We'll link to that letter box list in the show notes for this episode over at film spotting dot. Ned, again, if you want to check out the film spotting family and all those benefits, go to film spotting family dot com. Streaming, one of the movies that made Josh's list his questions about the summer movie season where you can answer your question about the mother with Jennifer Lopez is a deadly assassin that is out now directed by Nikki Caro. Why? Well, you can also see the other film that came up as part of that question Ben Affleck's hypnotic make your choice bennifer battle. That's correct. I think I should probably jump over here and ask. They're together. I think they're married again. Okay. All right. I think so. That's directed by Robert Rodriguez. Book club is out the next chapter. That's Diane Keaton Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary steenburgen. Fool's Paradise directed by Charlie day, and in limited release, you can see BlackBerry, the social network, but BlackBerry. We'll go with that. Directed by Matt Johnson that did just play the Chicago critics film festival. Next week, a lot of potential films to talk about may have a review roundup of sorts or we might dive in to Paul Schrader's master gardener with Joel Edgerton and Sigourney Weaver.

"Appear in the play at all. It's just a theme of the participants in the plays how the participants view their lives for the gods don't actually appear. And then I think the sense of general weirdness in Thebes, which is something that would be apparent to an Athenian audience of the plays that Thebes would be like some other backwards like Appalachia for us where family relations are chaos. Anything can emerge from this. You'll be like going to Thebes to submit like the novel of the movie deliverance. You're going down into the depths into someplace. You don't know how people relate to you. You don't know what people are. Their primal. And so that I think is both off the times, but also perennial. So Thebes just place that you feel where things got mixed up. And there are depths that come out in Thebes. When trying to explore universal themes like this, it helps to look at radically different times and places to help gauge what's similar and what's different. And the example that you offered in the series was a film by yasujiro ozu, a Japanese director. The film, in particular, he talked about was late spring. So first of all, do you see differences broadly speaking in eastern culture on these types of family drama and family dynamics and then could you also talk specifically about this film? Yeah. There were big differences. In general, the Confucian societies which are most East Asian societies tend to be societies that subordinate the individual to the family unit, even subordinate children to parents. So filiality is a huge thing, maybe the most important aspect of East Asian culture. So there's a kind of reverse from what we've seen in the west. Those cultures have gone a different way. And this hasn't always been the case. I mean, you see this in ancient Chinese history when you read you probably familiar with as so much the records of the historian first century VC masterwork kind of vast must work one of the great historical works in the world, where you see in that as he gives a description of emperors of the different rings from the beginning, and of the different dynasties from the beginning you see how filiality emerges as the central thread of what became Chinese culture. You know, it wasn't there from the beginning. You know, it was something that was created as being ethically the most important shaping influence in human life. And that lodged politely. And so the struggle for individuation in East Asian cultures is somewhat different from what we see in the west. And of course, you know, in modern times, especially in Japan and the films of orzu where after World War II, the U.S. has taken charge of the country and even before World War II you have from 1900 on also you have a lot of western insurance in Japan and China, then you start seeing the modern Asian wrestling with an alternative. Like is there an alternative to filiality? And they're attracted by the individualism of the west. So in modern Asian culture, you start seeing a conflict between filiality and individualism. And it's a difficult conflict. It's not just a philosophical conflict, because I think what many westerners don't understand about East Asian is that full reality is as much a feeling or an aesthetic as it is an ethical virtue. So children in East Asian societies actually feel different towards their parents than children in the west too. There's a sweetness to it. There's a fondness that you don't really get here. And it's partly because in the East Asian society is kind of the traditional relationship of parents to children doesn't involve a kind of competition that you see between individuals when you get individualistic societies. So parents have to prove themselves to the children, children have to prove themselves to the parents. Children of the parents that they respect them as individuals, as human beings, you don't have that in traditional East Asian societies. Parents give children affection, they take care of them, and children respect parents as their parents, there's no kind of egalitarian demand for universal respect. So I've often thought about this because I want to buy with my friends in China, you know, I taught in China 30 years ago and many of my friends are now my students and almost my age, but they're living three generations under the same roof even in the same smaller apartment and seemingly harmoniously, and I know looking at my western Friends that if we tried that, you know, somebody would die within two weeks. So there isn't that Internet conflict. And it's an interesting, it's a wonderfully fascinating mystery to me. And it's not that, you know, in the east, they don't know bad parents or that in the east, they don't know abuse or humiliation, but they found a different way of dealing with it. So in particular, the movie late spring, how do you see these scenes play out that you described? Late spring is the story of a widowed father played by tissue Rio great Japanese actor, and his grown-up daughter was about 30, I guess, played by the great actress sets kohara. And they live together. And they've lived together since the war. I think it's suggested that the mother died during the war. But it's a father and daughter team that is extremely harmonious, extremely sweet, and this father then gets pleasure from family members that he needs to marry off his daughter because what's going to happen when he gets too old and she's going to be too old to marry and she won't have her own life she won't have her own family. So isn't it incumbent on him to find her husband and she is then also pressured to take on her husband. So the story of the film is basically I mean it's very simple is that the husband is bound for her and by the end of the film she's married and the father is left alone. That's the storyline of the film. The film is set in late 1940s Japan, a Japan under American occupation. This is hinted at in the film but never explicit. And I said, Japan where the U.S. has written the constitution. And the constitution has incorporated democratic principles like gender equality, and so now divorce is possible. And women can divorce their husbands. And so some new ideas have crept into a very traditional society. And the young woman's young daughter's best friend is a divorced woman with a job with a career and a strong personality of her own. So you have that element of modern society that is a main thread in this film too. Marriages and everything that families and everything. So there's the sense that things are changing. Nonetheless, the daughter gets married off in a traditional Japanese wedding. And or fusion of traditional Japanese wedding and western marriage, and the last shots of the film are of the father alone at home. It's very sad movie. It's a profoundly sad movie. Have you seen it? I have not. So this is an area where I really can't contribute a whole lot to the conversation. That happens quite a bit, and this is one of those moments. Yeah, you should see it. Everybody should see it. I think ozu maybe is one of the greatest 5 directors of the world. In fact, his film Tokyo story is the one that is best known in the western is also of intergenerational issues and Tokyo story regularly comes up as the greatest film of all time. So I think that also just one of the great directors. So if you have the time, he's really got his son or family dynamics

"Pretty respectable bout, but umbrellas only getting 46%. Does that mean we're out of musicals? Or is there one left? We must be. We must be. Well, that's just a crime. You can see all the round two results at film spotting madness dot com. Also have a link to the bracket there where you can see how everything is shaping up and we are down to the sweet 16. So just 8 matchups left and we are truly getting to the point Josh where all of these films could make a reasonable claim as the best of the 1960s as usual. We'll run through this where I'll give you some of my easiest and some of my toughest and we'll talk them through in real time. Sound good? Let's do it and I'm gonna vote. So I had of these 8 matchups, I only had three that really gave me fits. That doesn't mean any of them were super easy, but here are the ones that I didn't hesitate much on. The first easy pick, doctor strangelove, going up against Ingmar Bergman's persona. And this is where if I haven't said it already here in madness, I'm gonna say it one last time. I love Bergman and I haven't seen persona since the one time I saw it. As maybe a sophomore in college, which I am said to inform everyone was quite a while ago. And it was my first bergmann, Josh. So I wouldn't recommend that to anybody having now seen a fair amount of bergmann persona would be in the 5 to 7 range in terms of when you should see it. You gotta build up to persona. I was definitely not ready for persona. But even confessing that, I'm still gonna go with strange love. I can corroborate that because I just watched persona, believe it or not, for this tournament. And so yes, I'd seen a handful of bergmann before and I'm glad I did because it's a challenge. Yes. I mean, that makes it sound inscrutable, and I don't know if it's inscrutable, but just formally. It's a challenge. And recency bias may be a play here. I'm lower on strange love than most people, so that's also at play, though I do like it. I think I'm gonna go with persona on this one. No kidding. Yep. Okay. That formal audacity is certainly why it was a top 20 seat. Speaking of recency bias, as much as I do, love Paul Newman and cool hand Luke. We just revisited psycho. That's a pretty clear choice going without for Hitchcock there. Yeah, I mean, cool hand Luke in terms of just looking at star ratings where I give movies sometimes four to four or 5 to four for both of these, but that doesn't indicate that I agree. There's still a significant gap between these two films, psycho for me. La samurai, very good film. From Jean Pierre Melville, starring the incredible land a law. But his piercing eyes going up against Peter O'Toole's piercing eyes against the desert as David Lean depicts it. That's a pretty easy one for me, going Lawrence. And I'm voting against the samurai just because it took out hard day's night. So this is a punishment vote for me, as well as the fact that Lawrence of Arabia is amazing. So I love all four of these movies I'm about to mention. I actually love all of the movies I've mentioned so far. So I'll ten of these easy choices, even if I did admit I really badly need to revisit persona. But that doesn't mean these were as tough as some others for me. Because of how strongly I feel about the film that is the higher seed. 8 and a half in Bonnie and Clyde should be extremely hard. Except, I love 8 and a half so much that there's really only one or two or three, maybe at the most titles in the entire bracket that I'm gonna pick over 8 and a half. So sorry Bonnie and Clyde, you're just the next victim for that fellini film for me. So we're out of fellini if 8 and a half goes. Is that correct? That's correct. I don't like that. But I do like other fellini films better than 8 and a half. So I don't know if I can do just a save fellini vote here when it's up against something that we've talked about this, what represents the era better, not that 8 and a half doesn't, but in terms of the era and the transitions that were happening in American cinema at least and how Bonnie and Clyde stands for so much of that. So given that and my love for other fellini films more, I'm going to go by incline. You know how people in the 80s and you can still buy them, I think they made those save Ferris t-shirts. We'll make film spotting save fellini t-shirts. Okay, good. Thank you. 2001, the number one overall seed is going up against. Once upon a time in the west here, if you're going punishment, I know you're definitely going for 2001 since west took out the umbrellas of Cherbourg. Get love, love once upon a time in the west. But it's going down if it's facing Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece. Yeah, I mean, this is a clear one. 2001 has a chance of taking this whole thing and should have a chance of taking this whole thing. And maybe this will go into your next pairing, but I prefer the good, the bad and the ugly. I think it's the better film. And if there's going to be a Leone that proceeds, it should be this one. I love that you said that because I'll make another confession, which is, my gut, whenever once upon a time in the west, and the good, bad and the ugly are talked about, is to favor my instinct is to favor once upon a time in the west for some reason, even though I love that man with no name trilogy, and I love the good the bad and the ugly. I always, for some reason in my mind, put it slightly higher, even though I saw the films with a huge gap of time between them. I've never really been able to compare them right up against each other. But the good the bad and the ugly is for me, one of the three matchups in this sweet 16. They really gave me pause. It's going up against rosemary's baby. The Polanski thriller starting Mia Farrow, John cassavetes, one of my all time favorite horror films. And as much as I do appreciate that Leone western and as much as I'd love to see one of those Leone westerns advance, I'm voting against both of them. I just love that film too much. See, and this is where looking at the film's remaining as a whole is helping me out because I'm voting for the good the bad and the ugly then I'm going to look ahead and vote for night of the living dead as the horror. I just think it's the better film compared to rosemary's baby, which I do love a lot and here I'm arguing against myself in some ways because rosemary's baby very much of its time, right? In terms of the themes it's exploring. But as we talked about last show, so is night of the living dead and that one is in my top ten horror films of all time. So that's why clicking on good bad and the ugly. In this case and yeah, night of the living dead over the graduate. 60s film. The graduate. This is not easy at all. You see I've had to employ some tortured logic to get there. I think if you ask me which film I want to watch again, think about more, explore more deeply, actually between these two, it would be neither the living dead over the graduate, which I do love. It's my number one toughest matchup. It's the one I held off the longest in voting in, but you know me, Josh, up to this point, I have advanced both horror films every round. And I'm doing it again. I would have thought that impossible. Certainly before we talked about night of the living dead on the show a few years back when we gave it the sacred cow treatment, I want to say around Halloween. It was the Halloween special here on the show. They're both great films. I do love the graduate. But that a living dead is the more significant film. Music to my ears. My last one that was really hard. We're going to talk about a Japanese master here in a moment. One who has been overlooked for the most part over the past 60 years or so of cinema. Largely in favor of other Japanese masters, yasujiro ozu, and of course Akira Kurosawa, and Kurosawa was yojimbo, a film that of course feels nicely connected to some of those Leone films we talked about because it was the inspiration for the man with no name, trilogy, at least that first film, a fistful of dollars, explicitly, but

You'll tune in parenthood, you'll find that you're in the part of parents in the early years where it's an endless scene sort of a bit of bursts. There's lots and lots of fun. And then when you get to like my part of it, when they're 16 and 18, it's suddenly a lot of laughs and then first. But you did an amazing thing yesterday suns out, what do you do now? Your boys won. We blew up the air first, they have a kiddie pool. Yeah, you're so loved that as a kid. It's in plain and paddling pools. That was like the summer was in the UK and you'd only have that paddling pool out for a day because the summoners were not long, so I spent grew up a lot of time in freezing cold tepid pools. Our Australian summers how I remember it is we'd fill it up at the start of summer and then it would slowly get sticky and gunky. It's the grass that gets in there and stays in there and that sort of film as well. I guess the bacteria that you don't know chlorine in there. It's just hose water. Did you also do like the slip N slide as well? No, one thing at a time. Now what I meant for you, you've got to show him show him what he can upgrade to in the next couple of years is that slip N slide. The slipper slide into lepore. No, I haven't even been in the kiddie pool myself yet. But you write a show. What are you like a lifeguard? Sat there. On the outside. Supervising. Of course. Patsy, how was your day? As you go excited about a lunchtime invitation. This is K two. Once you're 50, you know you're getting old, is when you get an invitation like weighted yesterday to a friend's 50th to a very nice venue.

That means we get home in time for Netflix and jammies. The hater on. The over 50s next Netflix show. We were so excited. Oh my God, lunchtime birthday is that the phase of life that I'm heading to in 15 years.

You are so social when you like mankind. What would you rather what would you prefer? Long lunch or a dinner. Definitely long live. Yeah, far more enjoyable because it's not the pressure of, oh God, it's 8 o'clock I'm actually 'cause you know when you seasoned like us to getting up early. Your body clock doesn't know it's the weekend. It's like, hey, it's 8 o'clock. We should be gone a bit soon. Yeah, I love that feeling sometimes when you see, oh, it's caught to 5 ounces afterwards. You got it. Oh, God. We're suddenly when it's like four or 5 hours into a dinner on that, you really are trying to eat that yawn. You know, when you're pushing it, well, someone's going on and telling you that story about the third time. When can we go now? He's been even saying four hour dinner is scares the hell out of me. You all went to dinner by myself last night, 24 minutes I was there, Japanese restaurant. Yeah, no, but I love to know. Kind of general lunch myself. On my own, I'm so gross.

It's actually just by myself. But Christian O'Connell show podcast. That's he just talking about the joy of invited to a birthday party that is at lunchtime reminds me of this recent clip from great actress Jamie Lee Curtis. I've long thought that rock and roll band should do matinee tours. Especially if you look at the average age now, gig fans, you're going to see some of the Foo Fighters or Billy Joel. A lunchtime show, what are the one in the evening? Cheaper on babysitting as well. I am going to just say this now as a taunt and as a suggestion. You too. Doing that. Coldplay. Do a matinee. What about a 12 noon concert Coldplay? What about it? Bruce Springsteen. Do a matinee. I wouldn't you let me come see you, Bruce Springsteen in your glory days. Pun intended. And do it at noon or 1 o'clock 2 o'clock. I will come and hear your 5 hour concert Bruce at 2 o'clock, and I'm going to be home and in bed by 7 30. See, that's why it's worse than Jamie Lee Curtis there. I think that's an awesome idea. This year we should put on a Matt knife festival. Yes. For everybody who can make it 12 p.m. show. Do you think there are any shows at the Melbourne comedy festival that are matinee shows? They all start in the nighttime. What are we like to try and do stand up like midday in the sun? In the sun who was eyes blinking I could see that working, but the matinee for music shows. Let's definitely do a mat and I show you how this year definitely.

"Why European countries are giving teens free money to spend on books, music, and theater. By Armani said for a growing number of European citizens coming of age now has the added perk of hundreds of Euros to spend on culture. Be that highbrow opera performances, or action packed comic books. Earlier this month, Germany became the latest European country to announce a culture pass for youth to spend on books, theater trips, music, museums, and movies. All young people in Germany turning 18 and 2023, which is estimated to be around 750,000 people, will be eligible for the €200, about $208 pass. The credit will be available to use over a two year period and citizens can make purchases via an app or website. My hope is that the culture pass will make young people go out and experience culture. See how diverse and inspiring it is, says Germany's culture minister Claudia Roth, who championed the initiative. They can see a pop concert, go to a museum, or watch a play, all of that is culture. Roth says the motivation behind the past was twofold. The first was in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which deprived young adults of cultural activities amid waves of lockdowns and school closures. But she says the second and more long-term reason is to provide further relief to Germany's struggling arts sector. In June 2020, the German government allocated €1 billion or $1.039 billion in emergency aid for arts and culture as many stayed home because of COVID-19 restrictions, which was then topped up with a further €1 billion in February 2021. The culture pass is the product of an additional €100 million investment, and could be followed by additional funds for 15 to 17 year olds if it proves successful. After two years of the pandemic, and now Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, and the implications it's having on energy prices and inflation here in Germany, a lot of cultural institutions are struggling with empty seats, low numbers of visitors, an audience that is reluctant to come back, says Roth. Now, she hopes the scheme will kick start a return to the cultural landscape and bring new audiences to national institutions. But Germany is not the first EU country to launch such an initiative. In March, Spain announced its own €400, equivalent to $415 youth, cultural bonus, or 18 year olds to spend within a year on events and physical media. Similar to the German initiative, the vouchers aimed to inject life back into the creative industries that have suffered under years of funding cuts, and then the pandemic. In a statement sent to time a representative for the Spanish government said that the program seeks to promote loyalty that generates the habit of consuming cultural products in young people so that, as adults, they continue to consume cultural products regularly. As many as 281,557 young Spanish nationals, as well as legal residents and refugees were eligible for cultural aid at the time, the €210 million project was launched. The statement added that inaugurating autonomy among its young citizens was a key aspect of the initiative, which allows users to decide within reason how they spend the money. It has a €200 upper limit on live arts and a €100 cap on purchasing physical or digital products. Both the German and Spanish culture ministries say they were inspired by the success of Francis culture fund model, which was established by the nation's culture minister rima Abdul Malik in May 2021. For over a year, French 18 year olds have been eligible for a culture pass worth €300 or $312 to use within two years via an app that hosts cultural offerings from over 8000 arts businesses and institutions. As The New York Times observed, French teenagers were mostly drawn toward Japanese manga. Figures by the organization behind the culture pass app recorded that 75% of all purchases went toward books and two thirds of book purchases were for manga, which is an incredibly popular form of media in France. Some critics of the French pass dispute how much freedom teenagers should have over what they buy. A kid from the projects will lean toward what he already knows. I can't for one moment imagine a kid using the past to go listen to baroque opera, Pierre ozu is a senator for the French Communist Party, told The New York Times. But others say the passes, even when they are spent on mass media instead of highbrow arts, have lasting social merit by encouraging young people to have a lifelong relationship with culture. They don't just lessen young individuals budget constraints and cultural expenditure. But impact broader life preferences and behaviors says Elizabeth lazzaro, a cultural economist and professor at the university for the creative arts in England. Manga purchases might not financially benefit French artists, but French users have a €100 cap on online media offerings, which are provided by French companies, and any video games purchased must have a French publisher. And directly, any further spending on culture could help boost one of Europe's most important sectors. In 2019, the cultural and creative industries contributed €509 billion, equivalents to $529 billion, or some 5.3% to the EU's total GDP, according to culture action Europe, a leading network of cultural groups. The slate of new culture passes has precedent in Europe. The UK has universal free admission to national museums, while other countries, such as Belgium, have long boasted free tickets for under 18s, and discounted culture tickets for students under 26. Meanwhile, Italy became the first European nation to establish a culture pass in 2016 worth €500, equivalent to $519. Despite reported attempts by Italy's populist leaders to scrap it in 2018, the fund has been upheld by the culture ministry across changes in government..

The film that directors admired the most is Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi masterpiece 2001, a space Odyssey for its mind boggling treatise on mankind's evolution. Directors rank Orson Welles Citizen Kane at number two as every shot has a symbolic idea with actors growing bigger or smaller depending on their emotion. The Godfather ranks third thanks to Francis Ford Coppola's symbolic imagery of sons becoming their fathers amid a corrupted American Dream, and fourth is Tokyo story as Japan's yasujiro ozu uses a static camera at floor level to show the pain of grandparents craving more time

"You can identify that he. So he says here to his friend, it's pointless to have a daughter. You raise them and then off they go. If they're on we D, you worry, yet if they do marry, you feel let down. I'm not quite there yet with our daughters in terms of meeting the house, perhaps, to live with someone else, but you could see on the horizon. I hope that's not how I feel about it in the years ahead that's can sound maybe a bit harsh, but in the context of late spring, it's a poignant observation coming from this man in this context. So incredible stuff from ozu late spring currently available on the criterion channel if you subscribe to that. And yeah, homework that was solid enough to be my number one father, daughter duo, shaming me with your number one pick. And I think not only shamed by you, but shame by my own daughter, Sophie, appropriate here for this top 5. I think she was one of those voices on Twitter. She said, is it the late spring memorial list? Yeah. It has to be. She knows it. And I haven't seen it. So I can not put it on my list. I can only list it as a regret. Not only late spring though, for mozu and possibly other films, but definitely an autumn afternoon is another blind spot for me that could make this list wanted to call out both of those films if you didn't get to either of them on your list, Josh. My number one, I'm going more recent. And I'm going with a film that if I remembering correctly, you were tougher on back when we reviewed it initially, but during our Nolan oof review came around on a little bit and had a re appreciation for it. That sounds right. You're talking, of course, interstellar. I am Cooper and Murph. A filmmaker in Nolan, known more for the way his movies make you think versus how they make you feel. I think fair to say, and yet what do I focus on here with this pick is my number one. The interdimensional climax, spoilers, the bittersweet touching reunion at the very end, the rebuke message when 23 years are lost that reduces McConaughey to shambles and me or how about the goodbye when coop leaves for the mission. Goodbyes are tough with kids anyway. I can't even wrap my head around a goodbye where you are heading into complete uncertainty and truly can't know for sure that you'll ever see each other again. We have no idea when you're coming back. No idea oh. I don't know my dough make me leave like this. Come on, Murph. Don't make me leave like this, Murph. Hey. I love you. Forever. You hear me? I love you forever. And I'm coming back. And the hardest part to watch might actually be the nonverbal moment that you can't get in that clip that culminates his goodbye. As he's leaving, as he's driving off, McConaughey lifts up the pile of stuff, a blanket, maybe a few other things that's next to him. Hoping it's a callback to an earlier scene in the film where she's not supposed to follow him. She wants to go with him. And there she is hiding out in the passenger seat, lifts that up, hoping that she might actually be there this time that she's hiding out in the car and it'll see her again. The face McConaughey makes just slays me in that moment, Josh. And when I think about the strength of the bond between Cooper and Murph, the determination across decades and dimensions to get back to each other, no dead and daughter movie is more powerful for me. I love interstellar. I appreciate it even more myself. The second time I watched it, I've got some support here from Scott Ross and derwood, Maryland, who had it as his number one. He said, this is one of the most moving depictions of the family sacrifices required for having to travel for work and the resentments that can breed when the reasons for this travel are not fully understood. Work in this case being saving humanity from extinction using a black hole's singularity. That's Scott Ross, who has a few more picks we'll get to Josh in our honorable mentions, but interstellar my number one Cooper and Murph. Yeah, even in my original review, which was very mixed on the film. I did say something about, you know, I grant the yearly scenes between those two have a poignancy that resonated with this father of girls. So that is an aspect. I liked from the beginning, but I have to give you credit, make you feel even better here Adam about your take on interstellar. You talked about how you were proud of your close encounters letterbox to review on a recent show. I think even better is what you wrote a bit of a retort to me about interstellar. And this has to do with the Dylan Thomas poem that is used three times. Totally turned me around on that. It was something I wrote off as too much, but yeah, some great criticism there that did convince me still interstellar, you know, probably middle to lower the pack for me among Nolan's filmography. But yeah, the needle is moving. The needle is moving on this one. Well, I'm happy to hear that. And of course, I appreciate the kind words. You're right. I have looked back on that review on occasion when I see people pop up and comment or like it. And it's one I am proud of. And purely because I actually think that even though I'm focusing on a specific element of the film, I do hopefully successfully get at something fundamental about Nolan and his films. I think there is, I think there's legit criticism in there that isn't just about saying Josh, you're wrong. It goes a little deeper than that, yes. That was just the spark. Those are our top 5 father daughter screen duos. We both have acknowledged some honorable mentions already. I'll lead off real quick, Josh with the rest of Scots list. He had Tony erdman from your list at number 5, he had paper moon from my list at number four, a movie that hasn't come up yet at number three contact. And one, we're going to get some emails saying, okay, I'm glad you guys honorably mentioned it, but why wasn't it in your top 5? He has it number two Deborah granny's leave no trace. He has will and Tom Ben foster and thomasin McKinsey from that film. We also got that pick submitted by Jeremy Webb to Berman in Philly.

"Comparisons became a recurring source of amusement. Was it Tom or Wayne? Or Jeff? You could just take back that one line. Yeah. Was it Tom? Or Wayne? Or Jeff? That relationship between her and her father that you do explore here in this film. If you read her new book, which I'm just a little ways through, but the first chapter of it, Pauly's memoir called run towards the danger, that first chapter in particular. I'm sure others do as well, but that first chapter in particular really is about her interesting life as a child actress and the dynamic between her and her father that really had them. It harkens back to say anything a little bit, really had them as equals, but they never should have been. She was way too young, and he was almost surely allowing way too much. And was it providing enough guidance and enough guardrails. So if stories we tell was a film that connected with you and you were interested in that relationship, you can dive in even further in that new book from Polly. Yeah, I can't complain too much on this cheat. It is a nice pairing and I love stories we tell as well an honorable mention for me on this list. Absolutely. Okay, I think we're down to our number one picks. We're here. Mine is shukichi and noriko from late spring. It's homework time. As soon as listeners started sharing suggestions on social for this list, I knew that I would be catching up with a yasujiro ozu film for consideration. On Twitter, Aaron bergstrom. He put a plainly when I asked what titles I should put on my list. Most ozu movies. And then on my lesson on film, Facebook page, former production assistant, Andy Mitchell Gregory. He named late spring his number one pick, listener Kevin mcclendon, posted an image after that from the movie and added there is one correct answer to this question. So I did indeed watch late spring, not only because of Andy and Kevin's nudging, but also because it's one of the titles still embarrassingly left on my official blindspotting list. We put that together out of. I think it was 2015. I've had plenty of time to watch late spring, but it wasn't until now that I finally did it. The story centers on shuichi, a 50 something widower played by Chi Shu yu, who lives with his 27 year old daughter, no ricoh played by Hara. They have a teasing tender relationship, noriko wears this wide smile in the early scenes, walks around with an air of contentment, laughs off her father's gruffness about bringing him tea and things like that. They both seem very happy with their lot in life, even if it's a bit unusual compared to how other families are structured or at least young women's lives are structured at this age. Even so shukichi, who is influenced by noriko's medley ant suggests to his daughter one day that she strongly consider getting married. And then to move things along, he even hints that he's considering marriage himself to a younger widow. Now, if you've seen any ozu and sadly, this is only my third film of his, so I still have more work to do. You know that this familiar family drama is told with quiet reservation. You have static carefully composed shots, reserved conversations, but ozu brings piercing perception that has this emotional intensity brings an emotional density to the material. And the demure but powerful lead performances. They have a lot to do with this as well. I don't even want to say how things unfold. It doesn't seem like it, but suspense, you know, plays a role in this narrative. I do want to point though to one late film conversation that shukichi has with a friend.

"Couple of films. I've logged over on letterbox Josh and it's the new weird owl movie and a documentary about the influential Chicago chef Charlie trotter. You've got ozu's late spring and PTA's the master. Are you trying to make me look bad? Hey, anything can be great at him. Anything can be great. Hopefully hopefully weird Al was for you. Well, later in the show, I'll have some thoughts on weird the Al Yankovic story. The trotter Doc comes out on the 18th, so I'll get to that next week. We'll also have a review on this show of after sun, the debut feature from Scottish director Charlotte wells. It's the film that inspired this week's top 5 father, daughter, duo. So we're not going with father, daughter, movies, though they all presumably are, but we're focusing on our favorite father daughter relationships on screen. How else would you like to set up your list, Josh? Yeah, I think that's an important distinction. My number 5, for example, probably would not be included if we were doing the entire film. So I did try to focus on those relationships and I also, that still left a wealth of options, so many movies to choose from. So I tried to narrow it down by taking a little bit of a personal angle for it. As you mentioned, both dads of daughters, so I thought, what's you need about this father daughter relationship in this film that might reflect something of my own experience, just a way to winnow away from all of these great choices we had. I love that introspection, but as I looked over my potential candidates, I didn't see myself in any of these great dads. Unfortunately. Yeah, I could go there. I don't know that I see myself in all of them. I don't know that they're all great dads. That'll be interesting, too, to see if we have a list of model fathers or maybe a few misfits. That's a really good point. I think I've got at least two who start out that way or who should qualify as great fathers. After that, a little bit more complicated as these family dynamics are, you referenced it earlier. I wasn't going to bring it up. You weren't a big fan of To Kill a Mockingbird. One of our earliest sacred cow reviews, of course I am going to call this the Atticus and scout Finch, memorial list. And I think it's appropriate because nobody can really live up to saint Atticus. We got to go ahead and just set him aside as the dad we all really want to be. The problem is you've got the other side of that equation. Mary badam scout. I mean, come on, Adam, don't make me be mean to the child actors. You can refrain, Josh. I've never once watched To Kill a Mockingbird and thought that performance was a detriment. That's all I can say. Rough, rough watch. Okay. Let's dive into our list then. What's your number 5 father daughter duo? Woody and Troy from crooklyn. Now there's been a lot of talk about autobiographical movies lately. We have a bunch of them that have either just come out or are coming out in the next couple of weeks and Kirkland is probably the closest Spike Lee has come to making one. His 1994 family drama was written by him. His sister joy and his brother cinque, set in 1973, Brooklyn, in the brownstone and on the block of a busy young family, headed up by a school teacher mother, alfre woodard's Carolyn, and a musician father, delroy lindo's woody. The central figure is Zelda Harris Troy, the 9 year old girl of the family. So as I said at the top, it's really the film more about Troy's experience coming of age than specifically her relationship with her father. But their dynamic is given plenty of attention, especially near the end of the film when for reasons I'm not going to spoil in detail. Woody finds himself parenting on his own and trying to help Troy process their new reality. Everybody was wondering when he was going to break. Even clean and quiet. And he please don't make me move away. I know what my thing wants me to go along with her. Nobody's going anywhere. I love the gentleness that lindo gives to Troy here to be clear talking about saintly fathers. He isn't exactly that throughout the course of this film, we see a guy with strengths and flaws, but here he meets the moment with a softness that's maybe normally thought of as maternal and personally what I liked about crooklyn in this relationship is it does remind me of the way having daughters has encouraged me to lean into the softer side. Now I like to think I'd be the same way with sons. Maybe I would. I don't know. I don't have any, so I can't say. And to be clear, I'm sure I could be like this more often than I already am. But this scene in curricula and the tone, that lindo brings to it. It's just a nice model for what that can look like for fathers. Now Kirkland isn't a Spike Lee film that comes up a lot when people talk about his greatest. I do think it's one of his better efforts though and I would encourage people to catch up with it if they haven't seen it. It reminds me a lot Adam of Cooley high. The Chicago set film that was part of our blaxploitation marathon back in 2012, both movies see black urban life for its harsh realities, but also especially through the eyes of the children here and the teenagers in Cooley high. As a playground too, something a place to have fun and to enjoy life as well. So starting my list off here with Troy and woody from crooklyn. I love the pick. It's one that wasn't vivid in my mind because I don't think I've seen crooklyn since I was a film student and that was over 20 years ago. But I agree a very good Spike Lee film. Spike, of course, I've probably got 7 8 or 9 films ahead of it just because that's how much I love work, but crooklyn, great pick. My number 5 is Mac and Juno mcguff from Juno. And to go back to what we were saying off the top. I did weigh the extent to which the movie is about the relationship, meaning you could call these, even though I'm focusing on the pairs, you could think of these films for the most part as fundamentally father daughter films. That relationship is what's core to the movie. And that's certainly true with four of my 5 choices. So what do I mean when I say a great father daughter duo that maybe isn't core to the movie? You mentioned lady bird earlier. As much as I love that performance, it's about many things is probably even more about the mother daughter relationship than the father daughter one. Perhaps arguable, but as much as I love it, I kind of ruled lady bird out. I love royal and Margot tenenbaum from Wes Anderson's the royal tenenbaums. But again, didn't feel as central to the movie. Joe and Michelle from all that jazz. There's lots of great screen fathers and daughters, but maybe they didn't quite have enough substance or the movie didn't explore those relationships in enough detail for me to consider them. The exception then on my list is Mac and Juno. I think it's one of those films where maybe you could say the father daughter dynamic isn't so crucial to the movie, but actually try to imagine Juno without J. K. Simmons performance as Mac macguffin. Yeah, it's one of the first things that comes to mind when you think of Juno, for sure. And the role that character plays in his daughter's life as she goes through her pregnancy and adoption. I think subversive probably carries too strong a connotation, but certainly one of the reasons the movie is so good is the way Diablo Cody, the screenwriter, constantly subverts our expectations of what a high school teen pregnancy comedy should be. And the character of Mac is maybe most crucial to that. Think about every mom, dad, I'm pregnant conversation, you've ever seen play out.

"And the reason it's number one for me, Josh, is besides being a masterpiece. We're talking about the best films of their respective genres. There are certainly some of the best films of their respective genres. And M is a hybrid that was basically the first noir. The first crime procedural, the first serial killer movie, and there's a sequence in it that amounts to what became the first heist sequence that influence every other bank robbery movie every other crime movie that followed. I think maybe because we were preparing for our bonus content discussion for our family members on Patreon have sin city, I was putting this list together and thinking about that film. Listen to what Roger Ebert had to say about it. He said, certainly M is a portrait of a diseased society, one that seems even more decadent than the other portraits of Berlin in the 1930s. Its characters have no virtues and lack even attractive devices. In other stories of the time we see nightclub champagne, sex and perversion, when M visits a bar, it is to show close ups of greasy sausages spilled beer, rotten cheese, and stale cigar butts. And it all does take place within this underworld of Berlin, where these horrible atrocities are being committed by the killer. And then you have the criminals themselves who are out to exact justice on him. So it's a movie that might actually be a nice double feature with sin city if you were looking for such decadence. And I mentioned that site and sound list from 2012. Number 56 on the critics list number 75 on the director's list and available on almost all of those platforms we've been mentioning, including Amazon Prime and iTunes. And still blood curdling. I mean, it will really unnerve you. Sometimes as we were saying, these musicals give you some distance in some comfort. This is one film that is going to upset you as many, many decades later. Yeah, it is, before we get to any other honorable mentions, I'll read some feedback from Zack in Chicago, wrote in said, I don't know if dodsworth from 1936 cracks my top 5 1930s movies. There are so many contenders. But I think it might crack my own top 5 movies about marriage list. What's remarkable is this 1930s William wyler movie about a disintegrating marriage still seems modern today. It can't escape being a product of its time. It does side more with Walter Houston's husband, especially in its final third, but the wife gets her moments and you understand why she wants to break free. I think she's more sympathetically portrayed than some critics do today. Anyways, if you've never seen it, you need to decide for yourself. It's no marriage story, but and I think Michael Phillips might have my back here. It makes Kramer versus Kramer look like it was the one made 80 years ago. Thank you very much for that Zach. And Josh, are there any films that we haven't touched on? You definitely want to give a little attention. Yeah, I definitely want to throw some more titles in case people want to go beyond the ten we've mentioned and more of a deep dive. I wish my list had been had more international titles beyond Renoir. Here's one I'll throw out there. Ozu's, I was born, but also maybe a good place to start with him as a filmmaker. We've talked about 1939 being such a great year. Here are two more reasons why you have the women and you have stagecoach. How about 42nd street, a non Fred and Ginger musical that definitely deserves your time and a couple more here. We've done a few marathons, Adam, you've mentioned the Dietrich von sternberg one. I think Shanghai express it would maybe be my representative of that marathon that people might want to check out. We also did a marks brothers marathon and longtime listeners know probably no surprise that they're not represented in our picks, but I do think if you wanted to get a flavor of their work in the decade, you'd have to one that you would have to and one that I think we both really liked was a night at the app. My romantic comedy pick, natsuka, I had some backups there, including the one you said, Josh, the awful truth with Cary Grant and Irene Powell, but also the thin man with Merrill loy and William Powell, and you could go with another lubitsch as well, trouble and Paradise a very good romantic comedy. You mentioned stagecoach, which surely if you're going to talk about a western, you have to talk about that, John Ford film from the 30s, but how about his young mister Lincoln as a biography? I do really like Barbara Stanwyck in Stella Dallas, king wielders melodrama from the time and in terms of a political drama. There's always Frank Capra's mister Smith goes to Washington. And yeah, there's probably about 20 other films. We'd love to mention. But those are our top 5 films of the 1930s are starter pack. We'd love to hear your picks or any other comments.

"Me is incredible. So I don't know. You know, today I feel like I would entertain it, but it would depend on what it is. I never thought about being a filmmaker because of the occupation, the job of it. You know what I'm saying? And when you say working director, I've never thought about it in that way. And I think I've always thought, oh, God, if I had the opportunity of putting something out in the world that affected me, you know, the way it has. And I would love to make that. So that's what I'm trying to balance out. So but I don't know the answer to it, you know, honestly. But I'm open to consider things. But I also know the kind of cinema that I love you. I'm very excited to see what you do next. I wish you well. I really love the first two films. We end every episode of this show by asking filmmakers. What's the last great thing they have seen? This is a particularly, this is one of interest for me since I know that you are a great watcher of movies. I can see all your blurays behind you, so I'm excited. You need to have I wish we had longer to talk and get really nerd out about our collection behind I'm here, man. I'm available to you. This is my favorite thing to do. Okay, good. Well, we should. We should have a separate conversation. And it's nice that we both have physical media behind us. It's so important.

You know, because it's moving and so obviously driving my car, but I had a friend who sent me an early work of his called a touching the skin of eeriness. It's like an under an hour. I watched that the other day and God, I'm still trying to figure it out. I heard that he made a solaris and I've got to find that film. I think that was his student film, I believe. Okay. Have you seen it? No, it's not been made available, but I read the same and got intrigued by that. But I think it is an ultra low budget adaptation of solaris. Yeah, yeah, I would love to see that. Touching this kind of eeriness, he found a link online. I was able to watch that if anyone wants to watch it. You know, I was in New York and I also saw a play, the Lehman trilogy, which I see is now playing in LA or is about to, you should watch it. It was, you know, when I was in New York a few weeks ago, I saw the Lehman trilogy and then drive my car the next day. And I felt so small. So humbled by those works because it was like greatness.

"It's such a strange process that I'm not even sure how much change from the, you know, the rough cut or the sort of that first thing that I saw that made me panic to the end. I think that scene is relatively the same. It's just how, you know, you approach it and the perspective of all. I think I panicked because I didn't know anything about post. As an actor, I say goodbye at rap parties, you know? And we had a rap party in Idaho and I was crying. I thought I had like accomplished, you know, I climbed Mount Everest and you've done nothing, you know? Like, nothing. And it's just so funny. So I think getting in and seeing all the dailies and not being able to see the bigger picture yet made me freak out. I mean, those were some of the moments I think some of my biggest mistakes, meaning where I probably created crisis crises out of that weren't necessary just in my own sort of panic attacks.

Just to kind of even just get a sense of the blocking and how it should look. I loved we talked a lot about Ken loach, we liked his realism. I Daniel Blake. It's not like there's it's not as if it's not a movie in a room. It's just a kind of he has a way of not you don't feel him as a director. You know, he sort of disappears. And it's just reality presented to you. And I love that. That was really important to me. And Robbie Ryan, the cinematographer for I Daniel Blake. He also shoots some Andrea Arnold movies. And which are very different in the sense. We talked a lot about American honey, which is obviously not a comp to mass, but we talked about about the handheld photography and things like that that we talked a lot about Robbie Ryan Ryan Jackson healing my cinematographer. That's his favorite cinematographer. And this just kind of happened. It was a total coincidence that I brought up Robbie Ryan. And he was like, he's my favorite. So we really, we always were referencing him in terms of we want to start the movie as Ken loach, and we want to deteriorate into a Robbie Ryan Ken loach into a Robbie Ryan entry Arnold. We wanted to. We wanted to have this sort of more formal, stable perspective and slowly deteriorate into a sort of handheld more emotional photography. We also talked about yasujiro ozu. I'm a big Japanese cinema fan. Asian cinema in general, but he had for the opening of the film, I didn't want any close ups. You know, I wanted the first close up to be a Martha Clinton. And the mother..

"Me that this trophy was disgraced and disrespected by being thrown as if it was a real football. I didn't sleep for the past two nights because of this, I was that upset. Because I know the passion that goes into this trophy and how my dad and all his fellow silver Smiths are so proud to make this I personally would like An apology. Not just to me and my family and the other silversmiths but to the fans. So that was Lorraine. Gross. Okay, let me just frame this with some perspective. Don't think that she needed to lose sleep for two days. Okay, that does feel a little melodramatic. It does feel little melodramatic that she would lose sleep or not sleep for two days. And demanding an apology is a little hottie here. I mean, it's one thing to criticize the behavior. Don't know Tom Brady Ozu a personal apology. Okay, so it's kind of making it about you of you need a personal apology. But I saw this video And I started looking at the comments. And everybody absolutely annihilated her. I mean, just One after another annihilated her Everybody. I was like, man, This is kind of unfortunate. No, The Twitter could be vicious. And I know there's a mob mentality that happens at the same time. I would think somebody would be like, Yeah, I could see your point. And I just tweeted. Wow. So there's not one person in these mentions that will support Lorraine. I said, I think she has a point. In 01 Tampa for Tom Brady cherishes that trophy in 2021 in Tampa Bay. He doesn't care if it hits the bottom of the river. I think that's an arguable. His first championship. That trophy's everything he would never throw that trophy to a different boat by 2021. It's the seventh It's one big, fat party. Now you can say, Well, that's what happens with perspective. D A. That's fine. But there's no doubt it's inarguable that he doesn't value the piece of metal the same way that he did 20 years ago. So there's nobody that could understand where Lorraine Gross is coming from that Lorraine grows. Her family designed and created the Vince Lombardi Trophy. That's her family's claim to fame. This is their passion. And she's like, Yeah. You know what I mean? Would be nice, too, but they didn't treat it like a beer can And she's totally in the wrong So you should have seen. When they say you get ratio. It means your comments are really, really high because everyone slamming you and your retweets or likes a really low because nobody agrees with you. So that's the ratio. I got ratio. I then followed up with? Well, you know what? Look, sometimes being popular isn't always right and being right. Isn't always popular. Of course, that only stoke the flames and then After I just kept getting hammered. A said, Look just as a different viewpoint. This woman's family spends her life perfecting their lives perfecting this craft, and every player coach ever has viewed it as a near sacred object. So can't you see her point? Being sleepless about it. That's a little much demanding an apology. That's a little much, but I could understand her being uncomfortable. Forget it. Forget it. Fangs were out by everybody. And so It is time to read D a show mean tweaks..

"First hour here of the money Monday edition and talking about your money can't do much better to kick off your week than Stephen Moore, chief economist Donald Trump, one of the architects of Donald Trump's greatest Just economies in the world. But you can do pretty darn good with this guy Who's a dear friend of mine. One of the best broadcasters, I know, certainly out in New Jersey, whose show up Politically direct podcast on insider and J is killing it. Numbers are going up at all times. And Fernando, you re page Hey, How are you? John. All right. Hope you enjoyed the Super Bowl. It was all right. I had a good time with my friends had a few cocktails, but nothing. Nothing really crazy that you know, I kind of I bet the game. I'm a big gambler. I bet the game. I bet Tom Brady and the page and the bucks to win outright. No money. I took him on them. Will plus 1 50 to win the game outright, which I won that one, but I thought it might go over. I thought they'd be more scoring, But the Tampa defense really brought the heat yesterday. Remember that? So, um, lots of debate out there. Um, about this new stimulus check the new $1400. The unlike the first ones, this comes with some conditions. If you make XY Ozu don't get the whole thing. And Bernie Sanders is livid about it. It appears. What do you make of this? What's interesting is first of all the fact that you know Bernie Sanders, the chairman of the Budget Committee, we got doesn't know anything about budget to begin with. So it's kind of ironic. Because even you know, Joe Manchin from West Virginia who's you know, known as the most conservative member of the U. S. Senate is concerned about some of these chicks going out. High income earners who send them did not lose employment during the pandemic, So I think what we're gonna have here The first of the next few weeks is Democrats, both sort of And they're really far left one's arguing about what income threshold should be eligible for these stimulus checks, And in the meantime, Americans are still struggling. Johnson just seems like it's a lot of You know, philandering, Just a lot of semantics. Right now. You know the day it's taxpayers that are getting the short end of the stick, and I think that's what we should really upset people. I mean the amount of something that we decided it's all of this just posturing within the Democratic Party specific since they have majority site majorities in both chambers to get this done, and I just think it's disappointing overall right now for Americans Yeah, I'm with you. And now, um, you know also, I don't have a problem with people who aren't affected, not get You know, I I don't disagree with Bernie Sanders on that. Um, but now they're talking about this new child tax credit that's coming coming down the pipe of something. What's this new tax reform yet? Well, it's interesting, though, John, because when we look it against some of these numbers, and just for our audience, you know they have it. Really? I mean, we're talking about $3000 per child. And, of course, in certain age demographics here that will be part of the package, for example, you know, good between you know up until brother up into the age of six. We're looking at You know, $3600, but any any child between 16 17 I was, and I think that first of all if you looked at National standards. People are sure having less kids, John, I think even before the pandemic, we started seeing many Americans in couples specifically, we're looking to Child, No child rearing as a very expensive avenue. I know it sounds kind of like everybody for me to say that, but believe it or not. You were down in the last couple of years. So I think couples around the country of seeing that having a child is expense having more than one child expensive, especially in this economy. Now, with coded it sort of amplified morn. Again. I think it reminds us about this president and how he feels that. Hey, we can just throw money at a problem and it goes away in John, Listen. President Johnson back in 1968 allow Congress created, You know the great society. Remember that the war on poverty started, and since then we've had over a trillion dollars of federal money. Going to poverty programs reducing poverty, right. We've seen an increase in Medicaid and other programs and John get In percentage of people living in poverty today is commensurate with what was going on in 1968. So these programs haven't worked, and I just think the Democrats are falling to this whole of just throwing in some sort of, you know, money at a problem that quite frankly, I think Needs to be addressed at the state level. I want to appease a lot of the progressive wing. He wants to appease a lot of the liberals within the party of saying, Hey, listen, we need a child tax credit. We need a bond. We need this stimulus. Check her. That's similar check. John. I think it's just scary when we think that Throwing money at problems solve them when we know that for over 50 years, poverty has not been southern United States shop. No. And by the way, these, you know, arbitrary lockdowns kind of even making poverty worse because you got small business owners, especially like restaurants and bar owners. Who have a lot of 10 99 workers. They weren't even eligible for the P P P. Some of these people have a hard time getting even unemployment. Aren't necessarily even going in my view to the people who need the most. So you know, Stephen Moore said. There's still like 500 million left from the last stimulus that we haven't even used yet. Maybe. You know, I had an old boss when I used to say, Hey, I need bigger credit lines with my clients. I got to do more business. You got 100 million with this guy and you got 40 million left on. I said, no, I need more. But he would say, Well, why don't you use the other 40 and fill it up and then come back and make the case to me. Let's maybe use the money we got before we start spending more. It's almost like a drunken sailor. John, you actually write about that? Here's something else about this upcoming simplest. Worry all of us. I mean, I live here in New Jersey. And just like you in New York, you know, it's just it's become very evident that Governor's Cuomo and Murphy, for example, our governor Wittmer in Michigan. You know Democratic governors who have just spent the responsible in their states. We're not managing their state. It's you know, in a very physically responsible manner. Mistreating to build him out with some of these, you know, ridiculous aid packages at the state you're demanding. It's sort of like we're rewarding bad spending with Hey, let's just kick the can down the road, and that's just a bad message. And right now again with this administration that seems like you know, they think that we're printing money. It's just that you're responsible. Somebody keep an eye out for Years because again, these states are spending their responsibly. No more Muffy are doing our secret service and they want the better going to build them out. I just think it's wrong. I think people hopefully will wake up to it, especially this year giant New Jersey, where Governor Murphy is up for re election. And by the way, history is not on this side, where a Democrat is not won re election as governor since He's a Brendan Byrne. That's a long time ago. John and I'm sorry. It's these Democratic governors. They're putting themselves in a really bad position by sort of having their hand out, saying President Biden. Democrats in Congress, Please bail us out. It's just the wrong message, Child. Yeah, there's no doubt about it. I mean, you know these governors they've they've caused some of this. Jersey and New York Bolt have deficits in their pension plans, which is another ticking time bomb. And I really wish this money will get into the right people instead of bailing out poor leadership, but Not the poor about your leadership, certainly on politically direct on eyes on and J and all the great things you do in New Jersey. Always there for me on Monday and any time I need you, Thank you. My brother appreciate it. Thank you more. John. Stay safe. All right. That's Fernando. You rebate. He's the host of politically direct on eyes on N. J. You got to check him out the guys on the money..
