"So we have from scooter. One of our chat mods in our Discord, the explanation of that Gucci ad, Gucci has been doing shots from scary movies in their ad campaign, including one from The Shining, I actually, it's all Stanley Kubrick. That's what it is. That's what's in common. 2001, a space Odyssey clockwork orange and eyes wide shut all Stanley Kubrick movies with fashion week 2022 outfits added eyes. Now it makes a lot more sense. I don't know if it makes well if it makes sense to you, I guess. It's fashion. What are you going to say? High fashion is a little strange. Well, fashion doesn't only make limited sense to me, but I know Stanley Kubrick and his movies. I love Stanley Kubrick movies. That's where that's where it comes together.

"Around the buildings, but we can't see much evidence of firefighters presumably they are closest to the building and maybe hidden from the cameras. I don't think so. I think it's, I think it is very, very difficult to get near. The potential on the river is tiny by the typically French in a way because there is a lot of disorganization. But also, as we have in Latin countries, a lot of improvisation, that ended up to something quite positive. When I shot it, you know, my days of shooting were very different, sometimes it was huge fires that I did in that lot of the studio recreating large sections of the cathedral identical to the cathedral. And the next day would be the slapstick kind of event where, you know, the only man who can rescue the most precious treasury we have in France, missing the strain, has to rent a bike that, of course, auto bikes in Paris. Broken. And all that adds a flavor of comedy, a great relief when you have a movie with a lot of tension like we have to have moments where you smile and even laugh. Audiences love to see something that is real based on a true fact. I've always tried to make movies that are entertaining as well as movies that can bring you some information about life in general. So here that was new for me to be so close to reality as I was the first time I don't want to get into a genre, I like to jump from one thing to another. When I did years ago, the name of the rules was shown country. After that, I did a movie with a bear called the bear because I wanted to change and after that I did a movie called the lover. So I like diversity. If not, I feel very dangerous for directors to do the same kind of movies. You know, if you do, let's say political movies. Well, then if one day you feel like doing a comedy, nobody will follow you. My sort of master was a Stanley Kubrick, because he would do a comedy, then a sexy movie. And a war movie. I like to feel renewed when I do a movie. And I think the next one will be entirely different. And I was a French film director Jean Jacques anot on his latest project, Notre-Dame

The director who neither of us were really familiar with like at all. I had seen his name before on this movie and then on the devil but i never put together. I never like thought anything of it. I never looked but barely. He's like a pretty prolific director who even like francis ford coppola and stanley kubrick and a few other like big directors have cited in references. Like kind of a inspiration or vica. They're striving to like make some of their shots or scenes like his yet which i think is super cool late because yeah i mean like you said i. This name did not ring a bell to me whatsoever and after watching this movie. I'm like man like if he did this and eighty eight like what else has been doing. I'm super interested in checking out his catalog. And this isn't a movie that people talk about when you look at his name and in reference to him. This is one of the smaller things he's unlike like we said. If you look a vampire stuff this pops up in those lists but like as far as his movies go. This isn't really one of the big ones i mean. He has a movie called devil. He has another movie with very it got it. Threw me off as a movie. Just called a whore and i was like. Wow that's bold lack something just going for. It is just like straight to. The point is like yeah there you go. This is what this is about And then the one with drew barrymore. What was it called again. I keep brand the name.

He is showing us the viewers that That there is the secret society secret group that is pretty sinister pulling the strings as it were and Interestingly of course or maybe not so interesting he died right after the movie was made I believe right if the movie came out and Yeah this is the idea that kubrick was kind of exposing the secret organization that was Sort of manipulating mankind You know pulling the strings as where he does this one thing so you just one thing that he does That is one of the reasons. I like kubrick. So much as he uses different techniques one of the things that he does really effectively eyes.

Is good luck was good. I have not seen that really tony. There's haters there's haters of dr sleep. Oh absolutely there go fun because it was a good movie. It was a great all modules to the shining and it made it a bigger a bigger thing as fantastic. Was it also book by stephen king or was this movie yes. It was a book by king. Yeah okay so i. I'm surprised that this didn't come up. And maybe it was my Deficiency as a kind of a host over here but we didn't even talk about the red rum that's kind of the the people quote and talk about one other. what what other one the. here's johnny. Yeah yeah so. Let's dig into that whole sequence of the final of this part of it. What was your thoughts on a you know. We talked about kind of the camera angles and movements. That were going on. Because i think that definitely enhanced it. Where did you believe that was actually happening. Were you sucked in at that point tony. I think it's absolutely terrifying jack. Jack nicholson is terrifying that same. But this is the moment where we've talked about like continuity errors and stuff and whether they are intentional or not. This is the one moment in the movie were out. It was absolutely unintentional. A the amount of like holes in the door changes from charter shot and that is because they only had several they only had so many doors and that was something they couldn't help but being you know someone who works in the business. That's the kind of stuff that i noticed. And then that annoys me like there was two holes last shot and now there's three or this whole bigger than it was then all the other stuff that may be a continuity. Error is probably anticipate as stanley. Kubrick is like an autour but and this scene they should. They should have done better than there's a reason it the reason they heads only so many doors and then jack nicholson which they didn't know had trained as a firefighter and he said his he literally was cutting through that door like it was like paper. He actually knew what was happening. He could hit it and just knew how to cut. You know which is why it looks so real. But i agree. There was like a two shots. And i remember cutting back and i feel like i'm kinda like watching the psycho scene of the shower scene. You know because you're seeing things that just don't quite one hundred percent and i agree with you on that side of it because but that was the reason and they just didn't and they actually had to go to a thicker door because he was going through him so fast like in. That was one of the problems. So well notoriously bathroom doors are pretty shitty in pretty fast and you can even notice them one of the shot. Shelley duvall closes the bathroom door..

Trying to seemed normal like try to be the good dads even though it's impossible for him to seem normal at this point right like i don't think he really gives a shit if at that point if if if he's happy there i think he's just like trying to be a normal bad or appear that way now he's actually return to normal or dry. Yeah yeah let's talk about sammy because you know tiny was shocking to you. Know he had you know two personalities there. I don't remember if in doctor sleep. They addressed who. Tony was either and i just missed. It has another long movie. wasn't it is good especially dry. It was. I did think dr sleep was a good movie. And it was a fucking. Oh maggio's to the original shining. Fucking brilliant henry thomas. Jack nicholson holy shit outta scheckter. Listen but as jack torrance but is very get. But yeah i wanna i want to know more about tony and scattered from you. Know one thing about scab. i guess There was a lot of issues with him. Not knowing not knowing what from what i understand when i was reading a little bit about that he there was a lot of changes in the in the script. So even jack got to a point where and and if you watch some of the behind the scenes kind footage of of the shooting the you're seeing stanley kubrick constantly on the typewriter type you know. He's typing stuff up so he was constantly making changes to the script. You know as they were going along so the script was always changes so it got to a point where jack nicholson would just learn at once. They gave it to him and it was like. We're going to be shooting the next little bit but that really through some of the other actors that are like more know deeper. I guess and scott man had a terrible time with and matter of fact. There's there's even a. I've heard that that was the guinness book of world records for most takes on the scene around the table with With with the boy was one of the longest take or not take but multiple tanks of a shot of anything ever so And there was just all these kinds of thoughts about it as well as kubrick was known for taking a lot of takes so he would take. That was not something unusual. He you know we'd take a hundred takes on something To get the that he was looking for because he was a perfection. And so can you imagine that the business. Yeah god do not do that. Unless unless you're working with david fincher to. He was that way i'll give takes. That's it. wrap it up into the best of me already and if you got you got the us. The first take was a but i'll give you a safety. I mean i. I will say coming from director side of it. I will say most cases. You're going to get it in early.

"And then that created this controversy in the controversy end just spread with that film but he. He was smart on so many levels. And you know. There's just i i can't say enough good things about him because i think he's influence a lot of different people across the board but getting back to the bad of this film. You know the only things that i can think is. I thought there would have been there some continuity issues but may they were done on purpose. You know and that's hard to say whether that was the case but you know from a visual standpoint of watching this film from a visual standpoint of just understanding and the score of the music that just pulls you and your own poll and now you hear those that you know exactly what it is. You know there's no question so you gotta give them credit for being able to do that. And he's one of the few guys that took a lot of sort of orchestra. I guess that's how you said that word music or orchestral. Thank goodness there. It is and that's where we're trying to get for coming from the guy's not drinking from on average is an adult message. Yes yes that's right and shiny water so but that's what he puts all those pieces together and make up so you know any other thoughts that you can say that are bad about this them. It's just that. I wished that jack had a place to to start from a better place as a father. So we're not like do. Yeah i wish more so that. I was more upset when he turned into a monster. Because i really wasn't surprised he's a dick like he's an alcoholic. Oh now he's a grumpy. nana very child-abuser. Yeah and even gets worried. What he's what he's talking to the ghost about the incident he had with danny and psyche even kind of lies a little bit and yet he's making and it was just like oh you alcohol. There's another incident that is only mentioned once and it's like implied that that's when he starts talking to tony. Is this this mysterious incident that they never speak about. It's not where he yanks him up and breaks collarbone because they talk about that but there. There's this other mysterious thing. That's like sometimes implied as child molestation or incest or something and it's not stated is just sort of a feeling that you get that it's like dirty and you don't know why no one said that but maybe it's more subliminal. I didn't get that part of it that that was the case with jack. Now with the you know the the guy in the room with the the dog guy. That was hanging out different. Yeah the job situation. That was josh story but Yeah door guy. Blowjob truck going out. Maybe i wonder if that's what is i m. Mvp credit says trapdoor guy yeah bj. But i didn't get that feeling. But i could see where you're coming from on that side of it. There is some sort of like deeper things that went on and like the looks are two lingering. He the the sitting on his lap like that scene where they're talking about. How ride hired and did you like it here. And why are you asking me these things are you grooming me for something. What is going on here. What is this ooh. That's very creepy. Sounding yeah sorry. What's the deal with tony. More as like.

There's a little things like that. You know that were like well. Well once again ghost. Yeah who really choked danny right. If it wasn't either one of them was the woman he says it's the woman. So who really did you know. That's the whole thing. Is you know. I think it touches on. You know the supernatural aspect of it as well as the psychological aspect of it you know. I think what kubrick does really. Well that i don't any of us have talked about is sleep deprivation you know. Jack is going through this whole thing. We can't sleep. Remember there was sitting on the bed. I can't he's not sleeping you know. And and of course his son sitting there and they're having a conversation but he's not there he's somewhere else and you know sleep deprivation doesn't take seventy two hours of no sleek you become you start hallucinating. It's i mean it's part of it so those are things that happen. You know once you're starting to not have those sleep patterns that you need you start going into this whole nother world of like. I'm not really sure what's going on. You know is this. Real is not real you know. Obviously something was going wrong because he kept writing the same words on the typing. The same words on the page right. But but here's here's thoughts those are just dos in that and i don't know how you get past that other than you have to take it for what it is and then say these are things that are happening that that's questions.

The bird's eye of the car ride pity but in the car where it doesn't danny asks him what is Can't remember what the question was he goes. What's blah blah. Well he says. I'm hungry yes. You should've should've eaten breakfast. He's just said from from. He is totally. he's totally at dick. But he danny also else. What's something and he gives them this answer. Each got this really glib look on his face like he's a deck. Jonathan cannibalism right. Yes yes party right. What's the donner party. And jack explains it to them like he's just a deck And he's addict throughout the movie. He's a misogynist. He's you know. The the whole movie felt very misogynist. Felt like What's her name olive oil. There was just like shelley duvall. Sally was shelley. Divall was just there to serve him food and to take care of all of his wants and needs until he completely completely completely fucking loses inches. We might be in trouble and then you know strong like she is so weak up until that moment but it annoys me and it's probably more if it's a sign of the time it's a sign of the relationship. Maybe it's in the book. I don't know but it's hard for me to watch a woman that week And him such a deck. I is actually in the book. She's very beautiful and much more strong willed. So it's a completely and also wasn't that what that was the issue that stephen king of the movie is well sure Was he's like. There's no character like arc or jack becoming this murderous jackass. He's exactly exactly y- apparently in the book he's a loving father and a good husband. And then slowly. He descends into madness. And that's the movie he's just goes from being a to being more of a dick to being a psycho right like the fact that he's not the book to get like. He warned them in the book to get up to get away. I don't have no one's read at the check checkoint. At the last moment of redemption he warns the son to go away well. There's a lot of warnings throughout the movie to just people warning them about this and kind of giving you that that. This is why he has. Even jack has the dream while he's asleep that he's gonna to kill. Cut them up and kill both of them..

But there are these topiary. He's animal topiary is that it's fucking coolish shit and apparently closer to the book. I had heard it's true. That's i heard. Stephen king wasn't happy with the The coupe version because it strayed from his stuff so much and i heard kubrick thin. Really give a shit. Why would they make her a very lyndon care about anything. Right guy only had an i q over two hundred so you know he according to him. Now that's according to so. I mean he was a compulsive. Compulsive reader compulsive knowledged person. And he's just constantly. There's a lot of. I think miscommunication about who kubrick really was. And you know you hear from one side that he was like this jerk and all this and then you hear from people that worked with him. There's no he was and that he was like his way or the highway. There was only his way but that wasn't the case. Everybody that worked really close with him actually said no he collaborated was very collaborative. Wanted to know from every single person working on set what their thoughts were on things and he used that to build his. You know build to get the best so he was always looking to try to improve and he was super super smart and very comprehensive just like he thought about everything every little tiny detail I listened to a Hard cast recently.

"Unfortunately this Shithole has more fucking leaks in the Iraqi navy. Fuck Yourself. I'm tired from fucking your wife. How's your mother good? She's tired from fucking my father. You have a job Tom. I'm a firefighter. Oh God bless you a hero. I'm not hero. We'd all be here. We could use the petroleum. No excuse me Christmas. Utah a lot of fucking money. What did you do? I mean if you take away nothing else for my class from this experience let it be this. If you're not a genius don't bother right. The world needs plenty of electricity and a lot of them are happy and they can help. It really can't be that we can always do. Better let me keep trying. If you guys keep trying I'm shawn fantasy and this is the big picture. A conversation show about Mark Wahlberg. This episode may break the all time record for big picture dissonance later in the show. I have an interview with Kelly. Reichardt the writer and director behind independent film classics. Like old joy. Meek's cutoff in the new film. First cow which might be the best movie of Two Thousand Twenty so far. I hope you'll stick around for that but I were joined by the frog. Sheriff Chris Ryan. I heard that Mark. Wahlberg actually dropped out of first cow. He was gonNA play the cow Alao. But you're already doing animal. Humor here on driver too is calling. Chris. You're here because you're a fan of Mark Wahlberg work. He's The star of a new movie. That is hitting Netflix. This Friday called Spencer confidential. I think gets his fifth film with Peterberg. The actor turned director of such films as lone survivor and deepwater horizon. This is a very strange movie but I think it's going to be a a very watched movie because the corona virus is scaring America into staying inside their house. And so I think that there's a potential for a lot of viewership of this movie. So we're talking about Mark Wahlberg one of the most resilient and persistent movie stars. I guess of the past twenty five years so let's just start with WHO is Mark Wahlberg. How did this happen? That Mark Wahlberg became one of the signature figures of movies in the twenty first century. I would not say I'm a fan of Mark Wahlberg as like I'm a I'm agnostic as a citizen. Yeah I would say that. I am very interested in the way that he has conducted his career. Which is kind of a weird throwback to a studio systems our he makes three to four movies every eighteen months somehow and just releases them at like a hugely prolific rate at. I'm fascinated by all the little pockets of his career that he has created where he repeats. You know he goes back to these little micro genres that he and he works a lot of people over and over again by the way he kind of has conducted his career to me is almost unique among Hollywood movie stars anymore. I mean most of the time when people achieve a certain level success. They just like see in three years for my next blockbuster or award fodder and he's just like nope. I'm grinding out. Family movie violent action film and then every once in a while Raunchy comedy and it's just like pretty pretty like unique among all Hollywood stars so I'm fascinated. What do you make them Amanda? I was fascinated when going back to you. Remember how many great directors he's worked with and how many actually excellent movies he's been in. Chris was asking me how much we watching I had to do for this podcast and the answer is a lot. Because I wouldn't say that Mark Wahlberg stays with me besides certain shots that will certainly be discussed on this podcast but he especially I guess in the first decade of this century just goes on a tremendous run. I really from Boogie nights on and works with a does a lot of really great movies and then kind of decides to just become like the Peterberg comedy guy in the second decade of the century. And I it's a really interesting shift. He just Kinda decides no. I'm going to do this now. And it's very fascinating to me I can't really make sense of. I also is Christmas talking about his efficiency. Just pulled up his daily schedule. Do you guys remember the days? Will he wakes up. Like four o'clock in the morning posted this on his own instagram typical daily scheduled to thirty. Am Wake Up. What don't you forty five prayer time. Three fifteen am breakfast. There's a lot of work work. He's golfing from seven thirty to eight. Which is the golf people? And there's a chamber recovery at nine thirty that takes more time than golf workout number two lunches and our so our meeting slash work calls also an hour and he goes to bed at seven thirty PM and which in Los Angeles for. I'd say six at least six months of the year. That is still broad daylight. Yeah Yeah Su. There is real efficiency baked into this. He's clearly very deliberate guy. He's making choices. And I think that pertains to his daily life and also his his career. There is clearly thought going into this. It's not a type of thought. I can access. I still don't know why you would wake up at two thirty and I don't know why you would do like five deep water horizons. There's a rumor that he has a routine. I think you. I'm speculating here. But I think he's a member of Wilshire Country Club here in Los Angeles. My husband told me this last night and he likes to play alone. He likes to play. And that's why he's playing so early in the morning and he's trying to get in like a quick nine or quick eighteen. I don't know five days a week which I'm who among? Us would love to do that if I could wake up before five. Am I would do it. I'll tell you I would love to do that. I'll tell you something else I am. I find golf to be social and I get crippled like when I play by myself. I'm like all the neurosis is creeping like. Should I take another shot now like it really playing golf? If you're not playing with anyone can just tell you. He's got three snacks on the schedule. Including one that takes an hour and a half from eight to nine thirty. Am is snack after seven. Thirty to eight am golf. Probably a euphemism. Oh Okay so you think. His sessions are ninety minutes. So you're saying to jump off something. Amanda said You know who? He reminds me of a bizarre way Cruz. Where it's like that run. Where cruises like I'll just work with Barry Levinson Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg and every great director at it seems like I'm just the most important factor in the whole world and then one day he wakes up and says I'M GONNA make action movies for the rest of my life? It's very unlikely though. I mean his origins restraints obviously member of this very well known family. He's from Massachusetts. He starts out as a a rap artist and ultimately becomes a Calvin Klein M. C. An. Mc Yes we watched the vibrations video. Recently I took my top five twenty two. Would you make of good vibrations? And and how did you feel about the funky bunch all these years later? It's just really bizarre that this was a thing that we lived through. Who is the funky bunch? I I still don't know who's in it. Were you in a Chris? Thought it was the backup dancers. I mean yes. That's who they were but like do you know anything about them and where they are now. I was pretty. Yeah I was pretty. I was pretty authentic back then so I was. I was already listening to deep deep newer. Grab I love talking about the early nineties with you. Can we talk about the Calvin Klein ads for a second really really important? You're almost put these on my list. And it's and my honorable mention boxer briefs. Yeah I was still a boxer sky back then that was not interested in the product. Would you just tear the ads out of the magazine? Crumpled them up and throw them in the garbage. I think that the those are the signature moment in his career without the advertising campaign he would not have become weirdly Tom Like sub Tom Cruise but he you know. He soared to a of fame on that ad campaign. They're just extremely important. Ninety s imagery obviously came as also in them. And that's where the whole K. Moss thing starts Them Hating each other. Great early celebrity feud they're very important that's all and also it looks great. I mean he and his image was of basically like a tough guy with a bad attitude whether that was true or not he obviously got into some altercations and his his personal history is pretty complicated. We're not gonNA spend too much time talking about on this show. But I think that he basically leveraged his complicated persona in the public into a movie career and if you look at the first few movies that he makes replays these kind of like weird intimidating Undeveloped YOUNG MEN. You know in the basketball diaries in. Ryen Russillo favorite movie fear And even in boogie nights. There's something like violently adolescent about his his persona which is very different from the kind of actor and movie star that he is right now so a lot of times. I think that we could. You could write like a series of essays about how much actors of his generation have attempted to mimic the kind of like rough and tumble blue collar upbringing. That Walberg apparently had like how how often like DiCaprio Damon or these guys have tried to be like no I'm Jim Carroll and he's just a function Carol I'm the real thing but it's weird like even in his authenticity. If you WANNA call it that he still lacks like any kind of emotional intelligence or psychological depth to portraying those things and you could write all these essays. But you could just watch the departed. Because that's what this does that. Do you need that from an actor? Do you need to feel like this person is like in control and has that depth that Chris was talking about? I think I do ultimately. I think that there is a reason that I gravitate to Matt Damon instead of Wahlberg. And I think that you not just because of the departed and the Boston. Bill will talk about that a lot as a comparison but I like I said I really remember a lot of Walberg performances. Even though he's been given a lot of great ones and I think that's because they have a I don't WanNa say surface level. That's unfair. They're actually a lot of depth but they aren't the emotional depths and I think I personally don't hang onto those. I think I'm always wondering how in command of the Ark of his career. He is because you pointed out he makes he's. I mean he's just been a lot of great movies a lot of movies that are going to stand the test of time and it always seems like he's being cast the way that a lot of young actresses or cast as the. Nayef as the like the naive and innocent who gets corrupted when put into a system and like did someone in a room. Say That to him. This is your lane man will early like you think so. Well I just don't think that he I think he's largely in charge of the movies that he makes. Now he's like. I think that the movies that we see our movies that Mark Wahlberg once made for the most part and my suspicion is the reason he made that transition. Amanda was referencing about just mostly doing action. Comedy movies now is because those movies are more fun and easier to make for him there either like a physical challenge there like a day on the set whereas making boogie nights as hard Russell Smart. Yeah I think that he is both like sinking very strategically as the schedule would suggest and also like not over thinking it i. That's the VIBE. I guess sometime at the end of the day he's going like it very much is what it is. He is a very Surface level or just immediate actor. That's that's what you're getting and so I think he wants. He gets to produce the movies himself and make the decisions. You just kind of like. Yeah action comedies. Got There before we get into our top fives and I think we should figure out what we mean. When we say top five if it's five performances or his top five movies because there's some complexity. There is a very strange celebrity. The the nine eleven thing is you're staring right at. It's just hanging over my head as I think about him as a public person. So in twenty twelve Walberg was quoted in a magazine interview regarding. What would have happened if he had flown aboard American Airlines Flight? Eleven on September eleventh. Two thousand one. He'd been booked on a flight on flight. Eleven but his plans changed the day before the scheduled flight and he cancelled his reservation. Walberg received public criticism for stating quote. If I was on that plane with my kids it wouldn't have went down like it did and there would have been a lot of blood in that first class cabin and then me saying okay. We're going to land somewhere safely. Don't worry Warburg apologized for those statements. But they're actually the sort of thing that kind of inform his public persona and when we watch him in an action movie. We think that he's the kind of guy who's like I would have kicked some ass on nine eleven which I don't know if you like complicates the quality of the films that he makes but I can't get stuff like that. Outta my head once I've read or heard about it and I feel like we've referred back to it even in a joking fashion over the years right. Yeah it is definitely one of the top three things that I think about. When someone says Mark Wahlberg schedule yeah nine eleven yeah and the last night of prosthetic but like you know. I'm human beings. It's the point of the movie full movie as leading to that so yes I agree. It's funny he is both. I think very funny as a comedic actor like entirely humorless and it's that some things he's in on the joke on some things he's just kind of being like no I would have save. I would have stopped nine eleven. Which is just a ridiculous thing to say. And that's the joke of Andy Sandberg's say Heidi Mother for me. Yeah you know portrayal of him is this is like he's kind of total rube but also not. There's something very elusive about. Whatever's going on with an entourage thing it's like. Do you watch entourage because you think it's completely ridiculous or do you watch entourage because you think it's like six awesome representative drama and I dare to say that Mark Wahlberg is like Yup? That's how it went. I you probably think you're right. Insulin entourage Ari comes on and it's really like Whoa but most but he's like that's accurate me. Like Vince is very much living my experience. He's like we should make a show about it. I think. I think that you guys are right. Do you think that this should be five performances or top five movies I choose? I don't know I don't know where I landed. I think I did I tried to be interesting here but I I wouldn't say that any of these performances leap out at me except for my number one and number two as like excellent performances. They're more like movies. I really like was he ever given a truly great performance. Yes I I think. There's one and a half great performances on this movie and it's just a half is the end of boogie nights. No no I. Well that might be the case now. There's another movie I still did performances but I think they are. They are a little bit also an award for the movie knowing how best to use him right. Okay well then let's get into it. Let's go into our top five Mark Wilbur performances slash movies number five Amanda. Why don't you start us off? This goes out to Bill Simmons and apparently to right who I still have never met. Hello Ryan. I'm going with fear. Why not whow revisit? Yes I did okay okay seen Djing

Kirk Douglas, Towering Icon of Hollywood’s Golden Age, Dies at 103
"So that's from the nineteen sixty film Spartacus it's Kirk Douglas in one of the best known scenes of his long Hollywood career Kirk Douglas died yesterday at the remarkable age of a hundred and three throughout the fifties and sixties he embodied a certain romantic idea of Old World masculinity in his films he often made movies about cowboys and soldiers prize fighters and rebels his most famous movie was Spartacus but the movie that made him a Hollywood star with the nineteen forty nine boxing movie champion the person he was in real life often mirrored the tough man that he portrayed on screen Kirk Douglas had a difficult childhood he grew up in New York in extreme poverty he actually was a wrestler and spent time in the navy before his success on Broadway he later went on to make movies that now define the era of Hollywood classics in nineteen eighty one Kirk Douglas received the presidential medal of freedom and fifteen years later he earned an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement Jason Gorder he's a movie critic and a big fan of Kirk Douglas is work and he's here to reflect on the actors impact on the film world to chase and thanks for being here my pleasure and honor to speak about this giant of talent what do you think when you think Kirk Douglas I think somebody that helped change what we think of of modern cinema frankly he's he bridge is very much the gap between sort of the traditional Hollywood leading man that's sort of you know the beautiful dimple in the middle of his chin the incredible physique a sort of sense that we had of the strong man the strong big actor but is also somebody that brought a great deal sensitivity to his character system the steps two wasn't simply a matinee idol who somebody that sort of brought through his performance a dramatic richness that would we'd be exhibited in many of his contemporaries people like Burt Lancaster but also into people like Marlon Brando who get celebrations and more but he also brought a very political a sophisticated political angle to his films he somebody that absolutely shifted the conversation but what it was like to be a performer not simply studio tool but somebody that could take charge of his own career and shift at and that's when the look of the great things that he did everything that we saw after the fact of of these performers that are able to shape their careers much more explicit way he was a pioneer on that front would you consider that is greatest contribution or what for you just it gleams above all the rest I mean for me my personal connection or to serve master pieces which are the films that he did with Kubrick puzzle glory was a film that nobody wanted to make nobody wanted to make this sort of anti war sophisticated look at World War one it was sort of it was a war that nobody was particularly interested in such a grisly film that about moral ambivalence that wasn't really to be taken up and he and his production company Brina named after his mother foster got the money together now a great deal the budget went towards him but nonetheless he gave a shot to this this quirky New York filmmaker called Stanley Kubrick an fifty seven nineteen sixty while he was doing Spartacus the other our grand collaboration there's another director and after a week Douglas realize this is not going to work and he brought in correct now that the dynamic between the two of them was a little tenuous but none the less he brought this to start the superstar director to one of the sort of last big epic Hollywood cast of thousands films and still injected with the with this real subtlety and real intelligence of performance and finally with Spartacus again the connection Douglas Trumbull is it was Kirk Douglas who unapologetically said this blacklisted armed writer is going to get credit actually John F. Kennedy cross the picket line in order to see Spartacus this is what broke the blacklist the famous arms those that were accused of being communists so in so many ways I Kirk Douglas of star power was used for good he was used to bring stories to screen that would have been brought otherwise he brought directors that otherwise Hollywood didn't think that were I'm sufficiently commercial and you brought to light the hypocrisy of actually bring these writers to to dream if for the if you only watch two forms of Kirk Douglas these are ones actually fully sober in you know a lot of people will be doing that tonight I want to play you a clip from almost thirty years ago no looking back I realize I was much more successful when I forgot about being a hit for years I proclaim loudly that a movie must be good entertainment no messages for me but I've changed it must in some small way touch improve humanity that was Kirk Douglas accepting a lifetime achievement award from the American film institute and you can hear that Douglas was ingesting this chiseled jaw line or a typical Hollywood celebrity of the era is like you say he was a man of principle and you're quite cranky I hear that a lot of people didn't get along with him but is that how he will be remembered do you think is a man of principle was incredibly philanthropic and and again his story is fascinating he has for his father was a smart the dealer a rag command in upstate New York came from nothing I'm dealt with severe anti semitism the sun changes name sort of inculcates himself into Hollywood as a sort of brash fully American leading man from that he saw the the division between high and low and he really took that film trophic spirit that's that moral spirit the moral conviction through his career what a hundred three is a long time to live but he lived a very very full life and I believe when he was getting at AFI award he had just been in a tragic helicopter accident then here he is again I'm coming to the fore because he was called his performance he was there to actually have the signs that he also had a stroke he's kind of had nine lives and his son Michael Douglas was watching all of this and he's an acting icon in his own right do you think that that what is it from Kirk Douglas that you see that Michael Douglas has it has in him I mean I've said the drive the conviction but of the the big deal is that once a problem OR one flew over the cuckoo's nest was a Kirk Douglas production he actually did the stage production he got the rights again he saw this very quirky very politically charged project his son would eventually produce the film in the Afghan Oscar glory because of that so so the the tradition certainly carries along with Michael Douglas but the I mean it's it's for for viewers who are not familiar with this film we just don't really have a Kirk Douglas anymore the system doesn't really work with that but we have certain people the Brad Pitt's of this world who are stars but also bringing in these films after their production so it's quite remarkable thank you so much Jason Jason is a film critic he joins us live in the studio to talk about the death of Hollywood actor Kirk Douglas who died yesterday at the age of a hundred
Stuff To Blow Your Mind
A Look Back at '2001: A Space Odyssey'
"Wasn't step to blow your mind. My name is Robert Lamb and Joe McCormick and Robert. Do you remember about seventeen years ago. How disappointing it was that? The year two thousand one was not like the year two thousand one in the movie. The two thousand one a space odyssey. Well certainly it did not resemble the nineteen sixty eight film. Two thousand one space Odyssey did not resemble that that vision of the future. Not Not exactly. We were not not traveling. We didn't have a moon base. I I want my milk. Carton of corn destructor Straw. Well that can be arranged if if that's if that's the definite futuristic experience you're looking for but yeah this is the this is a classic science fiction film perhaps the League Classic Science Fiction Film. I mean you can. You can certainly make the case for other pivotal works of sci-fi cinema but Stanley Kubrick and and Arthur C Clark's two thousand and one has a film that has stood the test of time inspired countless other sci-fi visions. And and and yeah definitely gave us this sort of benchmark to look for in the future so the reason we're talking about two thousand one space odyssey. He is because this year. That movie is actually fifty years old. Yeah it's hard to believe it half a century old. It was released in April. The one thousand nine hundred sixty eight and so because of the fiftieth anniversary because the movie so endlessly fascinating to talk about. We thought we would vote today to a discussion of two thousand one the film itself. It's ideas and its legacy Robert. How old were you when you first saw two thousand one? ooh I saw it when I was pretty young so I don't have a very very concrete memory of it. I think my dad he either he had headed the H. S. copyrighted playing or it was on TV. I'm not sure but I'd I'd say cu maybe eight or something. I'm not sure about Barack being a very interesting film to watch because it was it. has this dream like in quality to it. That is is there no matter. What level of a awareness You're approaching with viewer. You know whether you understand the more complicated science fictional or philosophical aspects of its message. They're still this hypnotic quality to the film that draws as you in I have a weird question about it I wonder if a kid For whom the plot pretty much goes over their head actually understands the the movie better than an adult who can grasp more of the content of the plot because the movie is in many ways. It's almost almost like a more like a painting or like a work of art that is radically open to interpretation where the stuff that the characters do. Well I'm not so sure that it matters as much as more the kind of visual themes established in the questions raised by you know the the spectacle gold before your eyes. Yeah the spectacle is Is a huge part of it. I actually was tempted. I I'd I thought well should. I let my six year old seat at least part of two two thousand and one I am just see what his take is on it and I did not quite get around to to to performing a test of that sort But I have a feeling he would be drawn in by the visuals for sure. Just thinking about the visuals alone. It's hard to believe this movie's half a century old. Like we were saying a minute ago. It still feels so weird and so fresh and so intellectually adventurous. Apparently you know when it premiered. One of the things about the movie is that it's it's mostly silent. They're only actually very limited parts of it were characters are speaking to each other. And according to the stories about the premier the first audience is just Hayden. Hayden not everybody. There were some people who saw okay. This is revolutionary something very different and new and original is happening here but a lot of the Hollywood hotshots shots who were in attendance just hated it There were tons of people. Walking out of the theater. Allegedly Rock Hudson walked out saying out loud. Will someone tell me what the hell this is about. Talk it's interesting because it is a film in which a lot of stuff does not happen. A lot happens. It's a film that that that kind of sums comes up the scent of humanity and where humanity might go beyond the beyond our planet but at the same time every any time. Something seems to be happening. We kind of get a cut. The scenes where characters are having pivotal discussions about what's happening is becomes just sort of a staple of so many other film like most films are missing. The murder that occurs to in the film is not actually seen so it. When you're watching two thousand one space odyssey there is almost this sense that someone is messing with you by removing these key? Bits of information. That should tell you what you're supposed to think about well. I can understand people hating it at first because it is in a way an intentionally challenging film it's it it goes against narrative conventions in a very Deliberate Way and another thing about it is just. I'm not usually a person to call out special effects. I as a thing I love about the movie but the visual effects in this movie movie are just unparalleled in so many ways. They look astonishingly realistic for for a time in the nineteen sixties when we hadn't even been to the Moon in yet when this movie was made we had not been to the moon. Space photography was very limited. So it's amazing. They could get something looking as accurate to the experience of outerspace as as they did. But then at the same time it so D- realized so monreale and It has almost kind of a Dario are Gento kind of quality though. Of course predates are Gento. But I mean like the you know the strange lights and The way the colors color our moods. I it's so oh good I'm glad Argenta did not directed by the way is very different than the monk. The the the the the dawn of man sequence might have been similar but The yeah the special effects in this film are just so breathtaking. I feel like if anyone out there is wondering what is it like to watch two thousand and one a space odyssey with Robert Atlanta. It's like every five minutes may saying aloud. Why can't we make? Why don't we make movies? That looks like this now. Why can't why can't why don't spaceships look like this anymore? Films and basically they don't look this good in anything else for instance nineteen seventy-two silent running another one of my favorite sci fi films was directed by Douglas. Trumbull who worked on two thousand one worked on the effects and silent running looks fabulous but it. It's not as pristine as two thousand and one in garbage can point to a lot of different reasons for that. But then there's you know you can. You can say well. These other films were not directed by Kubrick they. Maybe they did not have the budget. They didn't have the right key key. Artistic people in place this kind of perfect storm of creativity and intent. But but but you end up with this film that yeah just look so unlike unlike anything else and every single frame of this film I feel like you could you could print out and you could put on the wall and and no one would question the choice. It's also somehow a movie that many people I think have tried to copy and been unable to. It's a movie the style of which is uncopyrightable In my I've talked about this a bit with my friend Dave. He's he often points out that you have the the sequel to the two thousand and ten which which correct Kubrick did not direct came out in the eighties.
