Watch this with Rick Ramos. This is what I'm talking about. And listen, you know me, dog. I get the best weed. I get the best fucking sneakers. Not because I'm better than you because I strive for that shit. You got to go with the best. And as far as movies are concerned, I got a thousand fucking friends that know movies.

Nobody knows them like this cat right here. No, thank you very much. So we want to do. And also, my little brother, the Christ killer, the original is this season. Chris Domingo. It's on the guy. What was it Christo? Mato Christo.

Mato Christo. Honek is the 12 days that Jews get the eight days. Jews get together like we fucked that motherfucker up. Was that the 12? Eight days of them planning to kill Jesus? No, it's eight days then getting together party and like saying we're not to. We're badass. We just got our temple sacked.

We only had enough oil for one day. God's like, you know what? You need oil for eight days. So now we get presents for eight days. And we get to eat lachkas. That's amazing. shit. That's a shit they tell you.

That's the shit they tell you. It's good. It's good. It's not. This is the eight days where they get together. We got that cuck sucking. Guess what?

I see a bunch of them getting together again. We're going to start fucking shooting again and blaming our nicest. Let's start killing Catholics, blaming our nicest. You know what I'm saying?

Anyway, the holiday season's upon us, man. And you got a couple free days. Yeah. And there's nothing worse. And yeah, you want to fucking binge watch

some of your favorite shows, Seinfeld and friends or fucking King of Thorns. But let me tell you some. Been doing this podcast the last couple of years, working with Rick, talking to other guests that have come on the show. I've learned something. I learned that a lot of the younger generation doesn't know about a lot of great, great movies. Listen, I'm like you guys.

When I came from Cuba, I'm not even being a kid. I wouldn't watch Black and White, Rick. Rick, if it was Black and White, I wouldn't watch it. You know what the only show I tolerated Black and White? The Honeymoon is maybe. Once the honeymoon is came, it flipped me. And then I started watching the Jack Benny show, Bill Co. And so we get this thing that, oh, it's an old movie or whatever.

That's great. Now, I'm not going to sit here with Rick today and talk to you about the godfather, all those movies we discussed. These are odd films. Like, you know what's a Christmas film? He was getting home for Thanksgiving. Yeah, playing strange. It's a Christmas film. It's a Christmas.

It's Thanksgiving, but it has more of a Christmas feel to it. and it's a it's a celebration of the holidays and then you know what this is the weirdest thing is that whenever you see a movie and they play it and they get a character like del griffith john candy who's fucking brilliant in it i'm not sure anybody else could have played it to the emotional the emotional mountains and valleys that he brings to it because when when steve martin starts yelling at him and shits on him and does that thing it was like we're like you tell fucking stories that have no end and you're like a chatty Kathy doll except you're pulling your own goddamn string and the hurt in John Candy's eyes is he looking at him he's like it doesn't make

you feel good to hurt me the whole thing has been built up for you to understand why Steve Martin feels the way he does but in that moment you automatically sympathize with John Candy and you know he's just the guy that all of his life he's been trying too hard he's just trying to be a good guy making people happy and in that moment you're tearing up with him I'm tearing up with John Candy because I know what it is to be that fat guy who tries too hard and gets fucking hurt because of it and it's powerful man

and that's that's barely the fucking middle of the movie you still gotta go through the burnt up car listen don't I know that movie that movie got me when he took his shoes off on the plane and said his dogs were on fire Right there, when I saw that, I knew I was in for a fucking roller coaster ride. You know, my dogs are on fire. He was like rubbing his feet and shit.

The car scene, when they both see the devil, that is one of the funny, because I don't like EIG. I don't like none of that shit. I don't like fucking super, like when I was, I was putting the show together last year with some friends. and they kept telling about Jesus coming up and every time they said it my blood pressure went up to 200 over 340 during the talks I was telling him yeah it'll work

but as we got close I'm like I don't want this in the fucking show I don't like that shit in the show and that was the only time when I really really fucking laugh my ass off so do me a favor if you have I don't know how you could get it I don't know if it's on Amazon Prime

I don't know what it's on but if you have not seen you know if you're 29 30, 25, and you see Steve Martin, you see a fucking old fucking white hair. That's on Facebook with a banjo. And you're like, what? You know what I'm saying?

Joey, why you point me at this guy? Because if you're a young actor and you're trying to attack acting in a comedy sense, this is the movie you've got to see. In my world, this is acting 101 for the comic. You know, it destroys my insides, guys. I don't see more comedians on movie.

in TV. It destroys me. You have no idea how much of a fighter I am. You know, this morning I got one of some of the best news, and he'll never remember it. You know, for a time there, I didn't speak to Mark Marron. There was

a time him and I just didn't speak over a situation that was stupid. It was a drug thing. No big fucking deal. And I talked some shit, and I got back to him, and he got, you know, whatever.

We just had a misunderstanding. But when that movie came out with James Cameron about the writer, where he plays the concert guy, that thing goes, hey, you know, the movie I like with the Maryland liked

a lot about the young kid who's the writer from San Diego. And he goes to work for Rolling Stone magazine. Almost Davis or something? Yeah, that was the service. Cameron Crow.

Cameron Crow. When fucking Mark Marin is in that scene, I'll never forget going up to him behind the store and going, hey man, I don't know how you feel about me, whatever. But I had to tell you something, you were really good in that scene.

I go, you were really good in that scene? I go, have you considered fucking really acting? This has to be 2004. When he was doing his play, he came, he went to Israel and came back, and he was doing that play, and he was doing in L.A. He was doing a couple nights in L.A. I congratulated him, and I told him, you're a good fucking actor. You should really go after. Tell these agents to send you out for acting. He got nominated today. For what? For glow. For glow. And he's great in it.

For glow. He's fucking tremendous in it. I'm telling you, guys, it breaks my fucking heart. I am fighting for dear life. You know, when I got here, nobody respected me as a comic at all. So I went back door, and I just went back door on them. And I didn't take no. I don't give a fuck.

You know, I'll send you an audition tape. I'll make it myself. I'll drop it off in your office. I don't give a fuck. That's the attitude you got to take. So I started booking shit. But after the fucking election, after the election, the strike in 2007, everything changed. Yeah.

You know, like Joe, I mean, everything changed. For example, I still remember shooting a fucking NFL promo on Christmas Eve at 7 a.m. call in Venice. I still remember shooting a Mars bar commercial. The 20th of December, up in fucking Kalabasas, all the way up there in the desert. Yeah. Where there's wind, and it was dusty, and it was like a desert. and the week is ending Friday the 15th that's it the year is over

there's no more additions there's no more right now there'd be 10 additions a day for commercials for the Super Bowl yeah so when you get back on the fort you're already fucking working yeah when you get back on the sky you know what type of holiday you have when you know you're gonna come back and shoot an episode of fucking of the TV show

even if it's one day even if it's one fucking day and it's scale you have no idea and I'm a fucking like when I saw comedian. The movie wasn't a 10, you know, I watched on the plane, but it was great to see Jim Norton and great to see Hannibal Barris.

Just sitting there, because these agents have forgotten that that's the final frontier for us. And we can go head to head. Not all of us could act, but the ones that could, look at that dude from San Francisco. He was in that movie with fucking that now he's pretty, he's in everything. He was usual suspects.

He was in fucking the movie about Cuba. Oh, oh, Kevin Speedy. Kevin, Kevin Nealyn. No, not Kevin Neal. What was his name? Kevin. Oh, God.

I know. He does the Colombo. He does Shatner. Kevin Pollock. Kevin Pollock. Yeah. You know, so the comedians range, and this is a movie that,

all right, I don't know if he never really did comedy, John Candy, but he was part of a troop up in Canada. Well, he was part of Lampoon. He was, SCTV. Second City, Lampoon, and then he came down here, and he did Second City over here.

And I think they wanted him for Saturday Night Live. But at that point, Saturday Night Live was Chase, Akroyd, Bill Murray, Balushi, and then the girls, Gilder Radnor Jane Curtin. So they were pretty solid with what they did. And what John Candy did was smart, is that they did SCTV, which a lot of people haven't seen. But if you've seen some of those old characters, he played curly, he played Johnny LaRue, this big-time Hollywood scumbag type of talent agent. He played the Schmengi Brothers, which was like these Polish, German polka dancing maniacs, him and what's his name, Eugene Levy. So what John Candy had was on a whole other... I mean, I'm glad he never came down to Saturday Night Live because it would have destroyed him.

It wouldn't have been a good fit because what he did was he created personalities and characters that weren't sketches. He created real life people. When you watch him in stripes and he's sitting there talking about his weight problem and I was going to come in and he's good. What do you got a 12 week wait program? That's perfect for me. I'm going to walk out of here, a lean, mean fighting machine. He's got Harold Ramos sitting next to him. Just looking at him like, really?

That's what they're going to do? But there's so much, there's so much boyish kind of naivete in everything that he did, which was beautiful. If you've seen a movie, one of the later movies that he did was called Only the Lonely. Now, it's not a great film, but it's got so much heart and soul to it because he's a 40-some-year-old man. He's a 47-year-old cop living in Chicago with his mother. And he falls in love with this kind of wayful. girl played by Ali Sheedy who works

applying makeup to dead bodies in a morgue and it's like he falls in love with her she feels like no one would ever love her because she's so mousy and her job but he has this mom this overbearing mom played by Marino Hara now a lot of the film doesn't work because of these

really shitty dream sequences that Chris Columbus the director puts in it but when it does work. And watching John Candy play a romantic lead, yeah, he's a big fat guy, but there's something very lovable about him. Well, that should leave on trains and planes. Why give him a shitty movie and then you lose credibility.

No. Let's leave him on trains and planes. Chris Columbo, who gives a fuck? Let's go with trains and planes. Plains and automobiles. One of the great holiday films that you will ever watch. I'm telling you right now. And that's what it does.

As soon as I thought about that, I said, planes, trains, and automobiles. not because it's one of my favorite films but because of just what it makes you feel like Oh yeah You feel it and if you've ever traveled during the holidays You just want to fucking get home

Yeah I don't give a fuck what you charge me Just get me to fuck home At this point put it on my credit card I'll take a part-time job Watch the shit Just get me to my family So I could be happy

What's up dog? Well like what do you guys think And I want to like at the beginning of the podcast Because you could You could say like a lot of the listeners Are my age or younger So they'll be like Why aren't you talking about more current movies?

And I thought this movie was pretty funny, but just in comparison, when you guys said transplants and automobiles, I started thinking about due date that came out a few years ago. It obviously was very inspired by that. Gallifacus and Robert Donnie Jr. Right. But why are you going to watch a bad remake of something that was so much better when it was made originally? You know, in that movie, Galaphanacus and Robert, it's a very similar story. but here's the thing Gala Finacus

and I think he's been good in certain films he's good with what he has that's offered to him but a lot of times he plays a character especially like in the hangover films where you're sitting like

this movie would never happen because we would kill this fucking idiot we would just kill him we would kill him bury him in the desert and that would be it with John Candy in planes trains and automobiles

you're sympathetic to him yeah he gets on your fucking nerves yeah he drives you crazy and you want to kill him but there's heart there there's soul There's this feeling that at the end of the day, I want to take care of this guy. And that's, you know, Steve Martin does what he does in that movie.

He's the straight man. John Candy is the fucking laughs. But without the two of them working together. But that's a good question. And here's the beauty of it. That I don't go to concerts anymore. I have no desire to go to concerts anymore. And sometimes I think I'm losing my passion for music.

and I listen to everything Lee, when I'm in my desk and it's 4.30 in the morning and I got nowhere to go and nothing to do. I'll listen to anything. I listen to people I don't know.

People who have recommended it to me. You know, people send me their music on you on whatever. And I'll listen to it. Do I write shit? No. Whether I like it or not, no.

I'm still a fan of certain music regardless of whether I listen. to it. Nothing really knocks me off my pants anymore. There's a couple new bands, songs I hear that are like good songs. I look to see what it is,

but nothing really throws me out of the water anymore. Like I told you, I don't know much about much. I'm not a five beta cabba, but I do know a trailer. I know how they cut trailers in the 70s. I know how they cut trailers in the 80s. It's changed. It's interesting.

It's really interesting to learn the study of reading the trailer. Well, they used to put the whole movie in the trailer. And I learned the experiment. So over the last 15 years, when you ask Rick Ramos, how is the movie? He goes, watch the trailer.

They put the best shit in the fucking trailer, you know? Or, so when I watch something, when I see a trailer, it's like broccoli. Yeah. You ever got to play the broccoli and people say to me, well, it doesn't matter. You've never had my broccoli.

I put cheddar cheese and, feather cheese and this goat cheese and it's blended. You know what? I don't know if I, you heard me right. I don't fucking like fucking broccoli. It's the same thing with me with movies. I could watch a trailer today and tell you if I have a slight interest

because of the trailer. And I don't even do the homework and look to see how I did in the box office. That's how creepy I am. That's how creepy of a guy I am to see if America bought it or America didn't. And even though they bought it,

they bought the movie off the trailer. I've studied that because I thought, you know, for a while I didn't know what the fuck I wanted to be. So to answer your question, I didn't fucking, that movie I had no interest in watching it. And when I heard that they were trying to base it. Now I really have no, you know, a couple of years ago,

some of you told me Shooter was the director, Antoine Foucault was, homage to Charles Bronson. So I watched it, and I enjoyed it. If you told me he was remaking Charles Bronson, like when I was looking up for the trailers for Death Wish, they're releasing Death Wish in a few weeks or something. I'm not going to sleep that week.

I have to light candles all night and put a food out, you know, Polish food for Charles Bronson out. That's going to be a bad week for me. Put a picture of them out, you know, because that goes against everything. Death Wish. No, you're right. Death Wish is probably number two of my Christmas films to watch

because I saw it in a movie theater as a child when it first came out. And I had seen the Velocci Papers with him before. I had seen the Indian movie. Chatosland? Chatosland. Hard times had already come out? I don't know if I had seen that at that time. I was a young kid.

But I went to see Death Wish. And again, you know, like I said, I didn't want, when I spoke to Rick about doing this show, I could just come here and tell you 10 movies. I wanted, some of these movies mean something to me. Death Wish is something I've always wanted to be. I always wanted to stick up for the little guy. And not to mention, just shoot people. Just shoot people for fucking up at night.

You know what I'm saying? Somebody's fucking up at night. You're walking down the street. You just fucking blast them. That's it. We're like a 22. Let them live. But shoot them in the legs, you know,

like the Jew did. Alan Berkowitz did on the train that time. You shot him in the legs of the 22. That's always been, you know what I'm saying? There's people who are too fucking confused. Yeah. Who don't really know who the fuck they're fucking with. Death Wish is a movie that came out in 74.

It was the first of, you know. They did five. Five of them when don't even think of watching five. Don't even think of watching it. they show Charles Bronson running you want to fucking shoot yourself. He's 64 and he's chasing the skinny black guy and he catches him.

Not on my clock. It's not going to work. Did he jump on the back of a pickup truck? By this point I had stopped. I had stopped. Like I had just gave up after three, I think I stopped. But the first one just stayed with me because I lived in that neighborhood.

I knew that park. I knew that area. I had walked that park as a kid and just as a scene. a scene that he's on a train. Let's see if you could find a death wish train scene. Yeah. That's where he's baiting. He's putting bait

out there. Remember? He's got it. And Gardini even talks about it. He got the bag, the grocery. That's where people, you know, they do that. And he's got the newspaper and the guy switchplate and Bronson don't fuck around, man. This is the thing though. Tell me when you found it. With your question about

these things that that due date would have been your generation. Plainstreens and Monobobiles are hard. You also got to remember what? It's nowhere near the level. And there's like Brody's in it. He was very funny. It's not a bad movie.

And I'm not saying it's at all the equal of it. But I'm just, it's, there's a difference, but there's a choice to be made between the current versions or going back to the 60s, 70s. This is the thing about that is that when the movies that we are talking about, These are movies that stand out among Thousands of movies that were released during that period In Hollywood's heyday They're released 400

400 plus movies a year Jesus You know So anywhere between 300 and 400 movies a year Okay this is the Bronson versus Muggers Go ahead So it's two You know and uh

What's his name is in this movie also He's one of the muggers in the first scene That actually Oh Jeff Goldblum Jeff Goldblum is one of the that rapes the daughter and spray paints the house and does all that creepy shit.

So here's two other dudes. New York's in the 70s. When the trains were on the clean side, that's when they were new. No, I think they cleaned these up for this movie because they wouldn't allow them to show shitty, graffiti trains. The problem with the only thing

I only knock I have against 70s movies were how they dressed up the villains. Oh, yeah. Like both of these guys are just horrible. got fucking Zucco from fucking Greece you know and the other guy

I don't know what the fuck he's wearing he looks like Willie Cologne yeah there's no nuance to it it's just like blatantly he's a scumbags you know they don't even try the second film's even worse

you know how many times I took the A train you have any fucking idea from it goes all the way up Broadway yeah and I would take the express from 178 to like

90, you know, I took this A train, so I can't, you know, to me right now, I'm getting goosebumps. Yeah. This is, this is memory lane for you. This is remembering shit. Yeah. I get that. Bye, yeah, one more, cock, sucker. So if everyone listening, the two guys are dead.

The funny thing is, Charles Bronson, they always said he couldn't act. Now, look how good he was. Yeah, he was beautiful that, because he showed fear before he shot the guy. It wasn't like, I'm ready. It wasn't as confident in death hunt And death hunt He buried himself in the ditch And he shot the guy

And this he was a little bit more hesitant So I like this is the only scene I could find down there It's weird because Bronson had this quality That he didn't need to speak He didn't need to have Long monologues Or real like lengthy discussions

He could say more with his eyes And a look at somebody And Everything is said right there You know You know Going back to you're just to what you were talking about, Lee, is that the films that we're talking about have survived all those other shitty films.

So we're still talking about them all these years later because they resonated with us. Now, you're going to see movies today that are going to touch you and are going to be the films that you're going to be talking to your kids and your grandkids years from now in the same way that, you know. And like, Death Wish isn't even a movie from my era. I was born in 74. I didn't see it until the mid-Ead. ladies, you know, but in the same respect to what we're talking about right now, my dad showed me it, you know? So it was like, it was like this passing on of what men were supposed to be and that that cool,

calm, collected, you do the right thing because it's the right fucking thing to do. And that's what Paul Cursey is in this movie. He's, yes, he wants revenge, but he also wants to clean up that city. And it's a, it's a powerful film. It's a really good. It's a damn good film. Now, again, when you watch this film, this is a movie from the 70s. Yeah. It's a very slow-paced film.

It's a very, any movies that were suggesting to you, they're very slow-paced film. They're telling a story. They're in no rush to tell you the story. The director is giving you imagination. Okay, another movie that I really, really, really enjoyed over the years. It fucking made me how? at times because of two characters in the movie. And nobody discusses this movie anymore.

It's a film called Things to Do in Denver when you're dead. It was released on Friday, and it was yanked from the movie theaters by Tuesday. It did God-awful. But it's a story about five fucking hoodlums who refine themselves after years, and they put together this thing, but they get one guy called Critical Bill,

who's played by... Is that Treat William? No. Treat Williams. Treat Williams. It was Treat Williams. Come Back in a Way. Treat Williams was great when I was growing up. He had done like Once Upon a Time in America.

He had done the Prince of the City. Prince of the City. Just those two right there. You're good in my book. But this is one of the best scenes I think I saw. I've seen the last 25 years. Like this is the comedy I like. The comedy that's not written.

I don't like when you write dumb comedy. This is the life I lead, hittingly. Concealed. Here's Tree Williams working on the funeral, Paula. He's down in the embalming room. And he's working out. But he's beating the fuck out of a dead guy with a suit on. You hear the bony snap.

Don't bother him much. I'm smarting with you, man. Why you show some respect for the debt? I knew this guy when he was alive. He was a mammary. You don't mind much. My carladi know you're doing this? He don't mind much.

Bill, we're doing an action for them. One night's words. It's good for ten large. Ten large? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I guess. Oh, Bill, you're still crazy, man? Because you're still crazy. I say you stay here and you beat up on all your old friends. Because we don't need you, Bill, if you're crazy.

Well, I am what I am. Back of Beyond, right? Same as always. I'm in the back of Beyond. Bill because you never went up against a guy. Bill didn't put the guy in a critical condition at the very least. But in the days, there never was a better

wing man. Fucking tremendous scene. There's another one that I want to show you from... You know what the problem with this film was that it had? Is that it came out right after that whole pulp fiction period. Yes. And everybody was

trying to find a new pulp fiction and this movie was better than all the pulp fiction imitators, but it got swallowed up and all that bullshit and people didn't see it. It scrolls down a little bit. There's a scene here where I keep going. Keep going.

No, shit. Oh, I know what it is. Go up, go up, go up, go up. Put things to do and then when you're dead scenes. And it's Andy Garcia talking to the guy from back to the future. Keep going. Right there, the third scene. this is a beautiful

scene to me this is how I was raised this is the fucking mindset now they're getting hunted down by a guy they're all going to get killed they all gotta leave

this guy Alden is working at a fucking porno place playing movies Andy Garcia knows him for years he's his friend How are you I'm all right See that? You see Critical Bill around?

I can't find the man anywhere. I haven't seen him. Listen, I have something for you. What's going on? Charterfly leaves in the morning. You got to layover in Rome. Ah, get out of here. The Greek islands.

You'll be having Musaka Mikonos by dinner tomorrow night. I don't think so, too. Hey, hold in no more porn theaters. No more scumbags stroking it around you. The cool blue waters in the Mediterranean. Ah, why? I ain't gonna run. What are you talking about, Alden? Listen to me.

I've been thinking about this guy. My neighbor next door a few years ago, a citizen. Never married, no kids, just a sweet guy. A cancer. He was dying. I've been thinking about him. Thinking how if, in his last days, when he was laying on the bed, staring up. At the ceiling in this shitty little apartment,

knowing he was going to die? Was he sorry? He never did nothing. Was he sorry? He never did the Foxtron with a $2,000 a night, Booker in a Paris nightclub. Well, then I appreciate what you're saying. But listen, I need you on this island, man.

Jimmy, Jimmy, I'm... I need you there. I don't. I'm not going to stare up at the ceiling. Maybe I could have been a better... Old man to my kids. Maybe I shouldn't have pulled as much time as I did. But shit to me.

Days, that rim hat. You walk into a joint. Forget about it. All right, I want you to take this money. Please, take it. You do something good with it. You really do the Fox Travel with a $2,000 night hook into Paris and a club.

He kills it, John. He kills it. He kills it. This is a great movie. Oh, drinks. Oh, thanks, Jenny. Jenny McCarty. Oh, Christopher Walken.

Fucking, this guy that played Gotti. This has a fucking Bill Nunners in this movie. This has a fucking great cast. Again, another slow movie. I think came out in 96. About that time. I was living in Seattle. I saw it in Seattle.

I still remember a movie theater. And I went back two days later to see it. It was gone. You know, it breaks my heart is that it's hard as hell to find movies like that. They're like there's like a Weird group of films that they won't put on Netflix. They won't put on Amazon Things that I've I've seen things to do in Denver when you're dead I saw it when it came out on video at Tower Records back in the day when they put everything out

They put it all out trying to recoup whatever they didn't make in theaters So I saw it then but it's a movie that I've and you know how I collect movies Yeah I I this movie I've wanted to own for so long. And you can't find it? And I can't find it. This movie, check it out, Lee. This movie was released, I think, like, in 96 or 7,

but it came out on video, August of 97. Yeah, 97. It was, it got released probably March or something. This is a good movie. It's a damn good film. It's one of those movies. You know what, and you're right.

This is the era when all those movies are coming up. All those junkies. Yeah. All those movies. All those movies. And this one, I was just lonely one Friday afternoon.

I saw, and what it was crazy was, I was at the Janet Jackson concert. Yeah. And guess who was sitting in front of me? Andy Garcia. No shit. And I asked him what he was doing that.

And we started talking. I didn't know him. I just go, you know, I'm Cuban. I live here. He goes, what is it like? He goes, it looks great. I'm shooting a movie. That was an understanding.

And then the rest of the movie, you know. And then I saw him up at the store one night for, what's his name's Wake? Freddy? Freddy, Asparagus, his wake that night. And I don't know if you remember me. And I met him a few years later. Fuck him.

What's the release date, Doug? I'm sorry. I had to restart YouTube. They were kind of upset with us. Why? Because we're playing video clips. So from now, and we'll just have to play it, and you guys can only listen to it.

Oh, man. Yeah, I was going to ask you about that How they get on your ass about music and... They eliminate the things. People don't get to see them. I just want them to understand. We'll watch them if you're watching the show live. We'll just talk about the rest of the movies.

I get it, I get it. It's no big fucking... 95. 95. See, that's what I... Jesus Christ. Because it's what I said. Pulp Fiction was 94.

As if I was 92. I was in Seattle, 95. I mean, it makes sense. But I got to Seattle and fucking... June of 95. Yeah. When did this come out exactly? There's a show.

Let's see. I think they buried this at the end of summer, beginning of winter. End of summer. Yeah, beginning of fall, maybe. You know, somewhere around there. December 1st. Yeah. Fall.

See, they didn't have any, they had no faith in it. No, just December 1st. Yeah. December 1st. They got released on DVD or VHS August of the next year or something like that. Yeah. Probably on videotape back then. because I don't know if I ever saw a DVD release.

Oh, my God. So the budget was $7 million. Guess how much it grossed? Half a million. $529. Yeah. When you yank a film out on Monday, you know, they always give you the week.

Yeah. It had no advertising. Nobody knew nothing about it. You know, a lot of movies, what was the movie that our friend was in, that he was a hot dog man? We have a friend. Yeah.

Amando Cascio. Amando Casillo. We have a friend of Amando Casillo that he got a part in a movie as a hot dog, and it's a great movie. Listen, it's with Ray Leota. It's with Justin Timberlake's girlfriend as a fucking stripper. Oh, that's that Adam Agoyan film. Yeah. Yeah.

And I asked, I mean, I mean, Mando, yeah. I enjoyed that film so much that we could not figure out. And you know, when I question our friend, I said, how was it working? And he goes, I don't know, I did it for a night. He goes, that was a $100 an night movie. With Ray Leota, Justin Timberlake's girl. Now, Jessica Beal, yeah.

Jessica Beal, fucking somebody, I mean, she plays a, oh, the strip club owner was the guy who died, Roadhouse. Oh, Sam Hilley. No. Patrick Swayze. That's right. Brilliant film, slow-paced, $100 a dollar day movie. What happened with that movie was, they shot the fucking movie.

They shot it all over El Camaj. It shot, I mean, they shot it so dumb. Like, for people who don't watch, who don't live in Hollywood, they would know the difference. Yeah. But for people who lived in Hollywood, you're like, oh, my God. Why did they do that? Okay, Lee, they shot half the movie.

You know, we went to that? What's Nerd Melt? On Sunset, yeah. Okay. They shoot scenes from Nerd Melt when they're in the Hindu restaurant. Remember on that block, you got toy. Yeah. You got toy.

Then you have another Thai restaurant. Then you have like a Middle Eastern restaurant. Like a no, no, it's not Middle Eastern. It's Hindu. It's a red. I remember it's red. It's got that. It's like a temple kind of thing.

Curry. Yeah, yeah. That's where they ate lunch. That's where they ate lunch. In that film, they eat lunch in there. But then they turn the camera around and they go to nerdist. Yeah. And they show.

there her shoplifting. Okay. I mean, and then they have something else where they actually show the corner. How do I know? Because I lived in that area for a fucking 10 fucking years. I remember that. So that's what, you know, there's a lot of films that they get a budget, they shoot, shit happens during the film, and then guess what?

They have no money left for fucking marketing. Well, they don't have money for marketing or something else comes out that's similar to it. Or a lot of times, they'll, like, whoever, is running the company in that point because they go through, they go through head people all the time left and right, boom, somebody loses the job, somebody gets the job

the person who gets the job doesn't want to push the films from the guy whose job it once was because if they, because if it's a success, they say to themselves, well, I had nothing to do with that. Well, the other thing they do is here's what they do. Let's say they have two million dollars for fucking

for market. And they do those. test scores of the films. So you have five films. Okay? Lee Syatt's film is scoring fucking high, bro. Rick Ramos film is

scoring men's amends. Don't say nothing. Yeah. Don't say the reshoots. Somebody got fired. It's a million dollars over budget. It is God awful. But don't say nothing.

You know, it's just business, guys. It's like when you are an attorney and you have a couple clients, but one of them pays you a lot of money. Guess what? If it's between Lee and Joey Dears and Lee is paying, Joey Dears is taking a fucking hike. That's right.

You know, listen, you've got to get Lee off. No, no, Lee was creepier. No, well, Joey, no, Lee was creepy, okay. Well, Lee is also paying there. Okay, well, then it's the same thing. They take what they have, and they drop it on the movies that they have. The three, you know, your movie,

Lee's movie, and they won't put a dollar into my movie. Well, that's the thing. It's like, like they say now, it's easier to make a 50, 60, 70 million dollar film than it is to make a three to five million dollar film. Because unless you're willing to gamble big, the return isn't going to be big, you know?

Three to five million, they're thinking to themselves, what am I going to get with that? What kind of a star am I going to get? How am I going to push it? Every once in a while, something like Get Out happens, boom, it goes through the roof.

But that's not going to change anything. There have been a number of films that have been made on a three, four, five million dollar budget that go on to make a hundred million. It's not going to change anything because they still want to go. They still would rather fund Avatar at $250 million. So the chance that they might make a billion with it. But even with that, $250 million, you're going to spend another $150 million in marketing. And remember, you've got to market all.

around the world now. So it's not limited to the United States. Now you got to you got to hit the Asian market. You got to hit the European market. You got to print them up in different languages. It's a whole other fucking thing now. It's a fucking nightmare. Yeah. There's no way that you can just do small films that really grab a hold of an audience. And sometimes those are the best films that you're going to get. I'm going to tell you what's another artist, actor. That's fun to watch over the holidays. A lot of fucking fun. And again, a lot of people

don't know how this guy is he was one of my fucking comedy idols. I mean, his movies were always sensational. You could go either way with this guy. But when you watch this guy, you got to watch three or four of his movies, maybe three automatically.

However you watch him is up to you. You can either go Revenge of the Pink Panther being there or the third. The other one. Return to the Pink Panther with the safe. Or you could go being there. It doesn't

matter what order you go. Again, these movies are from the 70s and you have to give them patience. Being there comes across, it's it could be the year... It could be the year 2 million five and being there. It's still one of the most beautiful

holiday film. My mom just bought it for me for Hanukkah. Did she? Did you watch it yet? Not yet. I just got it yesterday. I think you're going to love it. I mean, and Lee, eat some stars. So it fucks with your head. So you've got to watch it again.

Oh, my God. Okay. He plays such a sweet character. Yeah, I just watched it again. About two months ago when I cried, I thought about Maryland, and I thought about a lot of things. That was the movie that made me go back to the comedy store.

Really? They called me that Friday and said, uh, fuck, oh, ain't here no more if you want to come back. If you want to call them for spots. And I was like, you know what?

Yeah. And that Sunday, I was taking the colonoscopy, leave was taking me to the hospital four in the morning to get a camera up my asshole. I couldn't sleep, so I'm there up all night and guess what's coming on? Being there. I go, no, it's not.

I'm sitting, like, by myself, like coming up there, like being there. Like, I had 10 minutes. Like, that's when you get up and make a salami sandwich. You don't care about weight watches, diets. You got weed, you know, This is great. It's the kind of thing where you tell you something.

I'm going to have a rough day tomorrow because I'm watching this shit. I'm watching this all the way through. I'm not following this thing. And the thing about being there is that he's beautiful. But she's. Oh, Shirley MacLean is great. It's beautiful. Again, none of people don't even know who Shirley Maclean is.

I was a mediocre and Shirley Maclean fan until I watched that movie. So there's another holiday movie that is just, you know, I was telling somebody there their Jiu-Jitsu, that one of my favorite Pink Panther scenes is when he's at the costume place. Yeah. And they knock on the door, and the guy gives him a bomb, you know, special delivery,

a bomb, okay. A bomb, okay. And then he comes and goes, a bomb, and when he throws it up in the end, it blows up, and it blows the top layer of his clothing off. Yeah. But underneath, it's got a red warm-up, and on the front it says balls. Like, this is, you know.

And I went to I went to see these films when I was a fucking child. I had to be 13, 14. We would take a bus to Jersey City and fucking catch these films and giggle and smoke a little bit of pot and fucking. But if you get a chance, revenge, the Pink Panther strikes again. You know what? I mean, they did so many.

I can remember. Revenge. The one with the moat was very funny. Yeah. The one with the Italians. And the fucking, when he dresses up like Al Pacino, he swallows the cotton and all that shit. The one with the guy with the monkey and you got a monkey. And he lights the fucking garbage on fire.

All that shit is priceless shit. You know. But that was Peter Sellers. And what Peter Sellers brought to it was just as he was a go for broke kind of guy. He just didn't give a shit. He went all the way with it. And that, I mean, you can't. I heard he was crazy as shit, but you kind of have to be to inhabit all of those different characters.

Bro, when you watch him, when you watch him, there's one movie that you turn me on to where he's like a go-go, a hippie with groovy, like, whatever. Yeah. Let me tell you something, bro. That, everybody stole from him as an actor. As an actor, everybody stole from that guy when you watch that. What the fuck movie was that? You told me that. And I watched it like a month later was on fucking something.

It wasn't take the money and run, but it was something... No, no. I love you, Alice B. Toakler. Something where he's like a hippie. Yeah. Everybody stole from him and that. If they watched that shit, so many people watch that and said, where does he get his fucking balls, this guy? Yeah.

Great, great actor. One of my fucking... I think one of the greatest American films, and people forget about it. They really do. I don't think it gets enough airplay I don't think any gen. I think this is a movie that's a must watch. If I come to your home

and I'm going to consider you a friend and I look at your movie collection and you don't have this in there, I don't think we could really hang because this movie is, this movie was basically, again, situational comedy. This shit you can't write.

One fool of the cuckoo's nest I think is a fantastic, fantastic, fantastic holiday film. I just had a clip before. I think I'm going to figure out a way to play. That's crazy because I was just watching it last night. Look at that. You know? Martini playing poker.

Yeah. And Martini reminds me of Lee. He keeps saying, hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me. And he's fucking looking at it. Look at this is when Martini gives him the two fucking cigarettes. Come on. You know, what's crazy is, that with the exception of Nicholson, you had no idea who any of those guys were.

They looked like mental patients. Danny DeVito looks like a mental patient. Christopher Lloyd. This is not a dime. Cartino is a dime. If you break it in half, you don't get two nickels. You get shit. Try and smoke it.

Understand? He looks like me when I first met him without the bid. We had a little bit of a head. There's barely any. I think it's a freak. Look it all day. Hit me. Hit me. Hit me. Hit me. I can't hit you because it ain't your turn. You understand? You see these other people? These are the real ones. These are real people here.

What's the stutter his name? What do, chess hitters? Brad Durf? Brad Durf. What's his name in the movie? Billy. Billy? Billy. Bill, boom. Bo, boom. I love this guy. Yeah, me too. This guy with the glass. He killed me. All right. Tabor, you're busted. Give me this. 20. Huh? Hit me. Shut up! Taver.

Come on. I'm next, Tabor. You're not next. Huh? Hit me. Ace. Hit me. That's four or 14.

Don't want me more, Billy. Hit me. Huh? You didn't make a bet, Martini. I can't hit you. Jesus Christ. Yeah, that's your new name, Martini. Martini.

Oh, thank God. I was leaving your name. No, but what's the help? Martini Mush. It's 10. 11. This is another great film, man. I just want one.

I'm a queen here. You understand? You don't count to this and to this. Hit me. You got 20 short. Hit me again. It's crazy because the relationship's so real. It's so great.

I love that guy. Dedication time. This isn't it queen? Ah, queen. Medication. Max. Hit me. I want.

Who's, who's pitching the opener? Hit me. Jesus. Christ almighty. You nuts want to play cards or you want to fucking jerk. Play the game. Can't even hear myself. That's a great film.

Did you remember seeing that in a theater? Did you go see it in a theater? I can't lie to you. I do not remember. I do not. But I probably did because I saw it. I was still in Catholic school when this came out. Because we were talking about Nurse Ratchet.

That's how I still remember. I was still. at Sacred Art School for Boys. So I think I did see this in the movie theater. You know, I saw, if I did, I saw this, when we spoke on the phone, I thought about a movie theater that I used to go to watch all these movies.

And I watched this there, I saw The Exorcist there, I saw Tommy there, I saw the Longest Yard there, I saw Rob, there. I saw Enter the Dragon there. I saw Chinese connection there. I saw all my top, top movies there.

But one of the movies that I remember walking out of there just blown away from was the original longest shot. Oh, yeah. That's why when they did it, I was against it, but in the way I'm like, wait a second. That's me. Let me go in there and fight for that fucking role in respect. Because I

still remember who I went to that movie with. I still remember. remember being on our chairs yelling mean machine. Yeah. So if you get a chance, watch the original longest yard. Again, this is all, you know, guys, and I was very

fortunate because I was in that age. When I was, at that age, if a movie was rated at all, they'd still let shit. Oh, yeah, I remember that. You know, I still remember going to see, like, the exorcist. You had to bring, like, an ID and your parent. Fuck that. If you had money to get in, you

getting in there. You know what I'm saying? Even if you had your all these high heels on and all this shit. This is one of my favorite. This was just to show you, if you're watching this, I want you to see, even though we knew we had a wig, this is what cool looked like in 1973. It was Steve McQueen, James Coburn, who else was hot at that time?

You know, Coburn, McQueen. Of looks. Oh, Paul Newman, Paul Newman. But at the same. time, this guy was the sex biggest man in America where we play it. Look at this shit. And you watch this, the suit he had on.

He just finished smacking him in the head. And he smacked her to the ground. He threw to the ground and choked. There's more of the smash. Blended skin it on. Recently released. Give me the police. You know what's crazy?

Why did the remake? I didn't know. They told me they were shooting in Long Beach. That they were shooting the opening in Long Beach. And they invited me down there because they have a party in Long Beach. They were shooting two things at once. They were shooting the party where he kidnapped her from. And they were shooting the car scene that night.

The car shoot was going to be an all-night scene in the longest yard. The one I did. and I knew that if they got hit with the shit to drive the car it wasn't going to be this was tremendous in the movie theater you were rooting for them to go

yeah we're like get out the fuck out of there fire by the pina goddamn we can drive back then to do that no really I mean that's some amazing stunt work right there oh yeah this the bridge is lifting Dane people listening.

They escaped. You got to remember, back in the 70s, there was nobody cooler than Bert Reynolds. Nobody. And with Lenin Skinn it playing, that adds to the, and he lights a cigarette, the whole fucking deal. Now he's going to get out, what's he going to do?

He's going to go right into a bar. Man, they were putting out some good movies around this time when I was a kid. How would he do that? Because it's her car. Look at this fucking savage. Yeah. One of the great car chase scenes. So what was your guy, like when you were sitting down to write your list, what was the criteria for you guys?

Like, you can watch a movie any day of the year. If you're sitting down Christmas. No. No. For me, the criteria was what were the films that shaped me into the man that I am today? That was part of it for me. Yeah. And I think we already had done a chap like this.

This was more of the ten. movies that you know I was here I don't know who the guest was and I gotta tell you something this is the only time that I could sit here with him

and show him leave something and he'll tell me I'm like I'm gonna watch it in a week ago just here he goes now I've been busy I know he didn't like it when I played boogie nights the firecracking scene like the Chinese guy

two days later he called me he's like Johnny hi hey and I was blown away yeah I didn't know what got him to even go home and bring it up, like, Markey Warburg, you know. And I get sad because

I get sad because I thought Lee knew about this movie. Yeah. You know, and I think that there's a lot of times I talk to, I put movies on here and people's head blow up, you know, King of New York or when I compare comparisons of the acting of, you know, and then I watched that movie

for about an hour. I had nothing to do. It was late night. I did something. in Sacramento. Friday night, that movie was on. Boys in the hood. Oh, wow. Boys in the hood was on. And I went to sleep. I was a little tired. I had to go tap out, but I watched the first hour of it

when they're sweeping. He gives them he goes to off ice queue, whatever, and he gives him the thing and he tells him I'll be back later on this afternoon the garbage bags of there. I watched all that. That movie, Lawrence Fishburn to me is fucking brilliant. I don't know.

I'm not suggesting you watch Boys in the Hood for Halloween, you know, for the holidays, supposed to be in-laws around and stuff like that. I'm just saying that I forgot how good of a movie this was. Also, number two, Rick, I put some of these movies down thinking about our previous conversations. Like, listen, we could sit here, I can tell them a million stories about Man on Fire.

Yeah. And I love Man on Fire. I feel Man on Fires in the top three movies that come up in the last 20 years. But I also feel that for me to get the man on fire, I had to watch Death Wish first. Yeah. So before you watch Man on Fire, it's in that vein.

I wouldn't even tell him to watch the mechanic, which I enjoy. Yeah. I rather than watch Death Wish. That's what I think you're right. I think it's a progression. Yeah, it's a progression. Yeah, it's a progression. You have to get to a point where you understand movies

and you understand the genre that's being depicted there. And it's like when people ask me about, about watching movies. I say find a director you like and then jump into their work. For me, their early films were Scorsese. I wanted to watch as much Scorsese.

And the good thing about Scorsese is he will lead you off into other directors because he's such a passionate film fan. But then you start getting into people like the Cohen brothers. You get into Brian de Palma. You get into, because I know I'm like,

Like for everybody who loves Scarface, and I think Scarface is a brilliant film, I sit there and I watch Carlito's Way and Carlito's Way blows it out of the water for me. I like Harley's Roy. It's such a beautiful film. The clip was there awesome. Now let me ask you this. Yeah. The reason why I used, I didn't even play it yet. You know, I know you and I both enjoy him.

And we've got a couple mutual, you know, as far as Michael Chimino, you're the Dragon. Yeah. We got Mickey Rourke in there. you know, we loved them in the wrestler Yeah. You know, we loved them in In fact, I was going to play a clip from Angelheart, but I didn't want to play it

because it's when he finds out he's Satan. I was going to play the clip when, you know, which we watched earlier. Yeah. This is another movie that if you could find, I'd suggest you watch early Mickey Rourke, his early shit. Never mind the, what's the one when he put,

makes the chick put pumpkins in a pussy in the shit. He does some crazy shit. I can't remember. The one that everybody steals from now. Everybody's trying to remake that movie. Nobody can't ever make that. Him and Kim Basinger. Nine and a half weeks.

Nine and a half weeks. You know, nobody can. You know, uh. Why is there a pumpkin in there? I don't know. I don't even know. I just, there's a food sex scene.

It's crazy. It's fucking crazy. But I always enjoyed Mickey Roar. You watch him in diner. You watch him in Diner? He's a fucking star in Diner. I forgot how good diner was. You know, so I included,

I always really included Angel Hard. Angel Hardin is one of those movies that I enjoyed so much because it fucked me up. Yeah. I don't like things, not fucking me up. Listen, we could sit here, like I told my friend today, who I also called and we discussed films for a little while. I go, you know, I could sit there with Rick all night tonight and talk about the Godfather. Yeah.

People are going to listen for 10 minutes and then just go, I'm going to go fuck myself. Yeah, we've done this before. But I don't like, you know why I like the grandfather? You know why I really like the grandfather? Because I went to watch the Godfather in the movie theater, and it fucked with my head. Because there's a scene in there where he explains Duval to the girl. And he goes, Sonny found him on the street when they brought him home, and he's family. He's been there ever since.

He's a great attorney. And I remember going home then, I go, my listen. I asked you for a little brother What, 15 fucking times already And nobody showed up I'm fucking 11 I'm a little brother So instead I'm gonna find one of these little kids

That runs around and bring them home We can feed them And I can make them my brother And it ended up Two or three years later My mother died And my friends took me in So I relate to that movie

To completely A different way Of most people relating to that movie That's the thing The mob aspect Don't give a fuck to me The mob aspect is interesting And it's really well done

And for me, for me, if you want to watch a mob movie, and The Godfather is amazing as far as what it is. And now especially with the six hour one. Oh, yeah. With that six hour one, that's a Christmas. That's something that you have to plan for. You know, it's unbelievable. That's the one you sit on that six.

You ain't already. Your family fucking left. The kids are in bed. Your wife took a Xanax and drank wine. You're not even going to give her a stabbing. And you could stay. out because you don't give a fuck. That's the thing.

That's the beauty. These movies are there for you, you know? Like, can you watch something for six hours directly or do you have to turn it off with a three-hour mark and go, let me put something else and get back to this right now? I can't do it at home. Like, I'll give you an example. Once upon a time in the West played a couple of times out there

and I think the arc light. And I own it, but I can't watch it all the way through at home. But if I buy a ticket, I'll go. and I'll sit there for five hours and I'll watch it. And I won't get up to piss. I won't get up to move around. I don't look at my watch. I don't yawn.

I'm just enthralled by it. And I've seen it a few times. I've seen it 82 fucking times. You've seen it 82 fucking times. Yeah, I've seen it too many times basically, you know. Lawrence of Arabia, that's four hours. I can see it in a theater. Seven Samurai.

That's four hours. I can watch a four, five, six hour long film if it's in a theater. If you're at home, there's too many, distractions. The phone is there. The computer is there. Somebody's going to, you know, you tell yourself, I let me get something to eat real quick. I taught you, I told you to leave on purpose.

Yeah. I know he's watching something, so I want to stop him. So I just call him and fucking ask him creepy questions and shit. What he's thinking of doing with his future? And his girlfriend sitting there sitting there staring at the ceiling with the movie on pause, because he's a nice white kid. He's not a savage like us.

He's going to answer. He's going to ask. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So no, it's I but I enjoy two hours listen I enjoy anything that's good yeah

if you could keep me in a movie theater for three hours today I'd be ecstatic listen mercy gets dropped off at nine if a movie starts

11 it's still 2.30 I got you yeah I just have to get up early and do a little work yeah I can't sit there

for two and a half hours knowing I got work to do that that's the focus I have yeah That's where my focus goes. That's when my problem starts. Because my phone rings.

It's my agent. This movie's a waste of time for me. So that's why I never get involved in those things. Because I know I do not have the time in the daytime. Like, I just don't have the fucking time. It's funny. When I don't travel, those weeks I don't travel, I go to acupuncture. And I do it to get me out of the valley.

Yeah. Especially this week. I'm not going to the store. I'm not doing shit. this will be the only time I leave the fucking Valley all week was today to go to that. I can't, won't you? Because I'm a lazy fuck like that, you know. I would love to, for me to go to a movie, it has to be like a late night movie.

Yeah. When I've done my work and I can't focus. I can't focus. I love going to movie. I wish there were more like 24-hour theaters. Yeah, always be the best. That's what I need. If you can see a midnight movie.

At midnight, home all the way. But I don't know. Because if you call me and go, September 24th, I don't fucking know, guy, you don't know. Who the fuck? I'm talking about, you're sitting there. I'm sitting in the living room. You know, I don't want to do fucking comedy. I don't want to do shit.

I go on a computer, look up your theater, and you have the mechanic coming on at midnight. Yeah. I will probably call Lee and Lee go. You got any stars here that are at your office. Why? And I'll put Lee together. I'll tell him I'll eat something good at 1030. We'll take them over to fucking Morton's to get the stakes.

sandwich. We never been a warm. And after that, we'll fucking shoot over. Yeah, you've been the moor- Yeah, no, I'm joking. But the late night, but they open until 10, right? Probably. Yeah, they suck like that.

They fucking 10. This whole town shuts down. They got a steak sandwich at 10. They got a steak sandwich there at the bar that I would keep open until midnight because Savage is like me a lurking. I'll go somewhere to watch ESPN lead a steak sandwich with Lee. Horse radish and shit.

Fuck yeah. That's the thing. I can do this by myself, though. I mean, there's only one. Mike Black is the only person that will call me out of fucking nowhere. What are you doing tonight? I was like, I got nothing.

They're playing hard times over at the Beverly. They're playing Goodfellas over at the Egyptian. They're playing Charlie Verrick at the North. See, that's the other thing. Oh, there's a lot of shit I don't want to see. I see it too much. It's been too, it's got to be the right thing and the right night to grab me.

There's things. It's like every, like, like DIA Hunter on a Tuesday night at 7.30 for $5 in Hollywood. Yeah. Before the comedy.

You know what I'm saying? Like there's just certain things. That's all. Yeah. That's my big problem with focus. That either, did I do my work for the day? Yeah.

Who the fucking might have be sitting here at 2 o'clock in the afternoon? I'm missing payments on me. You're right. You're right. That's the attitude. I'm one of those doing. So.

But back to the Christmas movie. movie thing. Christmas movies. The Dea Hunt is another one to watch for Deano. And again, it's a little too fucking intense for the holidays, I think. You know, it's a lot to absorb. You know, I was watching, I did an episode

on the Vietnam War. We did a bunch of different films. Isn't that the one where the guy goes Mao? Yeah. And they do that. Didi Mao. And he smacks him in the face. That's not a Christmas movie? No, that's what I said. It's a little too intense.

It's too intense. But, you know, it's weird because I'm watching Born on the Fourth of the Born on the 4th of July, I'm watching the deer hunter. Wow. And you can see, and I think Tom Cruise is very good in Born on the Fourth of July. But you can see the acting. That moment where Christopher Walken has survived the river, and now he's in that hospital, and the soldier, whoever it is, the MP comes up to him and talks to him.

And Walken doesn't say a word. He just sits there, and he's so distant. And you could see him slipping away. You could see the, you could see the PTSD taken over. You can see the shell shock in him. And he just starts crying. That breaks me up.

I fucking tear up every time I see that. And it's like sometimes, like, the reason I own so many movies is because, not because I want to watch the movies again, but because I want to go back to a certain scene and watch that again. And watch it. I was like, how the fuck did he do that?

That's what I'm the scene. That's what I'm, I go to YouTube. I don't buy the fucking movie. I'm cheap. I go to YouTube and pray for the best, all right? I'm not going to buy a bunch of fucking movies and pop it and sit there like Lee on a Friday night looking for the fucking. I don't have that type of time.

Oh, that's what I do. And I find everything. Yeah. I pretty much find everything that I'm fucking looking for. It's really crazy. Sometimes you got to use capitals. Sometimes you got to go scenes and click the scene before. Like, you know, I enjoy the scene.

in it's a set-up lead and it's the humor that I enjoy he goes to visit and things are doing when you're dead he goes to visit that dude

who beats up the bodies and he tells him he asks him are you still crazy you know if you're crazy we don't want you on his job and what they don't have I hunted all afternoon

was the second scene when they meet in the diner he gets into the fight with Bill Nunn Yeah. They get into a fight at the fucking diner and went at the meeting. And there's kids in there. Isn't there?

I think so. There's a kids party. He goes, I think he goes, I said, then he goes, sorry parents, sorry kids. And then they go outside. And now I just saw you beating up a body. A dead body, yes. A dead body. And now you just got into a fight with a black dude that you've known for 20 years over something.

and, oh, what did he get into a beef about? That he ate a piece of shit when he was in jail. That's what the whole beef was about. Who ate the shit? Treat Williams. But again, the story progresses. You don't know this.

You don't know this is why they're fighting. So now, they all step outside. They all agree to the job. But Barnacle Bill, whatever his name is, isn't in with his job. He wants to be one of the cops in the job. So he pulls Andy. Garcia and he goes, listen.

He goes, I know, I know you think I'm crazy, but ever since the prison psychologist put me on my new training program, I haven't hit a live person in years. Right? This is what he tells me. He's like, you gotta let me be the cop.

And he goes, but Bill, you're beating up on corpses. And he goes, I know, man, that's the thing. He goes, it keeps my power to drag. Jimmy, it keeps my power. Jimmy. It gives my powder dry. You're fucking dying.

The first time I saw that scene, I'm fucking... I don't know if everyone's loving. No, because they don't understand that mentality. Not everybody's going to get it. You're breeding up on a corpse. And now you want to play one of the cops? No, no way. And he works him.

Listen, man, ever since the prison shrink, put me on my little program. Listen, I haven't heard of a person in years. A live person. A live person in he is. And he's like, you're beating up. I know, that's the thing. That's the thing, Jimmy.

Beating up on those corpses, it keeps my powder dry. It keeps my powder dry. And he sells it. This is a guy that I've met 20 of these guys in my life. But you, after a while, you're like, you're in. You know what I'm saying? Like, fuck it. You know that crazy that.

There's something about an actor like that. that brings you along that journey and you believe him. So now they fuck it up and it's because of him. He pulls the kid out of the van and beats the fuck out of him. That's not what the job was

if he was supposed to scare him. So now the mob boss, Christopher Walken, orders buckwheats which a guy comes up played by... I don't remember. I haven't seen the film was so long. What the fuck? The guy from the Sopranos that played Tony Sopranos' cousin

from Pope Fiction. Oh. In Pulp Fiction. Yeah, he's in Pulp Fiction, too. He does something. He did all those fucking, who played Tony Sopranos cousin? Oh, Bishemi. Bishammy. He's the hit man.

See, I forgot Bouchemmy's in it. Bouchemmy's in it. Bishamys. I haven't seen it in so long. Tons of fucking people in this movie. The chick, that playboy, the playmate, the dude from the 70s show. I mean, this has a fucking... It has a cast that nobody's ever seen this movie. Nobody's seen this movie.

And I can't get it. I got a video store not too far from me in South Pasadena. I'm going to go in there. You have to go online. You have to go to all the streaming services. Nobody's got that movie. If you couldn't find it on DVD, you're not going to find them in the rental. Yeah, it pisses me up.

That is on the computer. They have the full movie on YouTube, but I tried watching it. No, no, no. Yeah, the quality is usually shitty and I can't get into it. It's like, ah, fuck bad, you know. So now. He fucks it up. They're going to get hit.

They're all going to get killed. Except for Andy Garcia. He's got five days. So he's got to go tell everybody that they're going to get killed. He can't find Barnacle Bill. He finally goes to an apartment. They don't have done online either. He knocks on his door.

He lets him in. And he's talking to him. And he's asking him if he's hungry. Can I get you anything? Sit down. He goes, sit down. Right? And he goes, first he frisk him, sit down, and all of a sudden he goes, how he doing, Jimmy?

Because listen, Jim, I'm just coming here to tell you, Bill, that they're going to kill you, you should leave. And he's telling him, he's not going nowhere. But in the process, he has, you know, milk containers with the handle, a bunch of them on top of the refrigerator. And they're kind of yellowish. And he takes one. And he takes it off. He takes his dick out. And he puts it in there, and as he's talking to fucking Andy Garc's.

see it. He's pissing. He's like, I'm not going nowhere. He goes, I'm the head. Remember he's telling him, I'm the head. I'll go out there and kill the fucking head. And then he goes, listen, they got the black guy. They killed the black guy. He goes, I know you had an argument with him. He goes,

they killed the black guy. And he goes, fucking moon cricket. He goes, he was coming to him, whatever. And then he goes, fucking guy spreading rumors. Like, right away, he tells the story. He goes, fucking guy spread rumors. And he goes, well, what are he talking I'm like, ah, we were in the joint.

You know, Jimmy, you got to do what you got to do. The guy gave me the, he goes, he gave me the small 500, so I ate it. Jimmy goes, you ate what? He goes, a little piece of shit. He goes, it didn't taste like nothing. And Jimmy's like gagging, he goes, it was kind of fluffy. Oh, wow. Remember, he throws something in, then Jimmy leaves.

But the next time they show Barnacle Bill, who Shemi comes in his house. Yeah. And Bushemi sticks a knife in him thinking he's in bed, but the lights pop on, and all of a sudden you hear, and he goes, I am Japan. You, no, he goes, I am Godzilla. You are Japan. And he shoots, what's his name, but as he goes to shoot him in the head, Bushemi shoots him with it, and then they both died together. It's not even, it doesn't even have a great ending. It's a

It really doesn't It's one of those So maybe we don't watch it anymore Yeah no Sometimes it's like You gotta weld up It's the characters It's the acting

It's the delivery I wanted you guys to know It was out there Like last week I threw You know In the history of fucking movies They did one movie With Will Smith

And the hot chick That they worked areas But they never just Did a movie About pick pockets But there's a movie I told Lee With Harry in your pocket

It's Michael Saracin Our boy James Colburn and their professional pickpockets when I was a kid I saw that movie and I always wanted to be a pickpocket so I used to train I used to get like a dummy from the store like a mannequin and you get bells on the thing and you put bells all over him and just practice that's how you practice yeah bumping into him and shit pretty soon you get pretty good I wasn't bad at a certain age like a pickpocket the bell wouldn't go off because you gotta tap over here put them

over here. So that's why people bump into you, but you got to be slick and clean. You got to get a chick to do it. It's too, I got to train somebody. You got to train them and then teach them to shut the fuck up. What's the thing? Con men movies were always a good time. You know? What's that? Conman movies? The long con

versus the short con, the grifters. The fucking Sting is still Sting is a great film. I bring it up, but it's so fucking old and so, I watched, I tried watching a couple years ago. I'm like, ooh. Yeah. It's a little bit, it just goes along.

Every once in a while, something like that comes up up and you're just like, ah, but you know what? You find magic out there. I remember one time, Mike Black and I were sitting and we were looking through the Egyptian calendar of what they were going to play, and we saw Sam Peck and Paul's

bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia. And Peter Gates is the friends of Eddie Coyle. And we read it up, but we were like, Warren notes in one, Robert Mitchman, another. I was like, fuck it, we ain't doing anything else. Let's go.

And it was the greatest double feature that we had ever seen. And we didn't know anything about either of these two films. We just went in there and we're like, sometimes you have to trust that the actor is going to do good work or the director is going to bring something. And you just, you fall all over yourself. You lose your mind. That's one of the great things about late night TV

is that you turn something out of you're like, what the fuck is this? What is this? The beauty about this is that they, There's thousands of great things that we have not seen. Oh, yeah. Because you got to remember, there's a thousand things they're doing abroad. Oh, that are fantastic and brilliant.

You just need the patience to read subtitles or go, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's just kind of weird. We don't, you know. It's going to be interesting. I hadn't even thought about this before, but they have these devices now, these earbuds that translate things. It'd be kind of interesting to know if you could watch a movie. movie with those. Well, that's the thing. It's like I like a movie in the language in which it's

supposed to be set. Now, when I was watching Coco, I saw it in English, so I had a pretty good understanding of it. I went to watch it in Spanish, knowing the storyline and knowing the jokes and everything. But when they cut into the songs, those are Mexican songs. Those are songs that I remember hearing at my grandmother's house and my grandfather's house where they would listen to Oh, Vicente Fernandez, Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrette. They would listen to those songs. And that took me to a whole other level when I was watching the movies so that by the end, I was tearing up.

I teared up because it reminded me of not my growing up, but my grandparents what it must have been like for them, you know? Well, I took movies. You said it best before, even for Lee. Lee has a few movies that he'll take. Now, there's a few movies that you'll take. Now, there's a few movies that you'll take with you that you'll watch 20 years from now and go. Boy, I was eating too many stars and I was like, Joey, this movie's got awful.

I don't know what the fuck was that guy. But there's some movies that you put on with you, and you still get kind of fucking impressed by little things. Like the acting you forgot about. You know, I'll watch, I'm a little stubborn. And as you get old, you do get stubborn as a human being. I'll watch something that I kind of like that I've seen before

over something new if I don't like what I see so far I don't want to waste my time Rocky, I won't if Rocky's on and if it's something new I could always go into Rocky any scene and I'm right there

so it doesn't really matter so I'll watch something new you don't know? Yeah I know Like my TV hours are so precious now I enjoy watching TV on a plane. Like if I could fly around the world for 24 hours, that would be I would take meth.

I would take like meth tablets and just sit there and sweat and watch movies with a towel, like the fat guy from Narcos, Gordo, whatever's fucking name is. And this is what I've discovered lately with Netflix, with the Spanish shows. Like Narcos, they shot some. lived in Spanish and some of the English.

This show I'm watching now and I'm giving it a second run is a fucking great show. What is it? Hota Hota the story of Paupea Pablo's hitman. It's a Spanish production company.

I've seen three of their shows. And they've impressed me 150%. The Spanish acting is tremendous. They take their job serious. They're committed. they use all types I even call Rudy

and I go Rudy you always fucking complain that this is the company you should be sending your headshots to because they don't care it's Colombian they use Mexicans the head of the jail of the Colombian the communist is Cuban

the head of the one guy you can tell he ain't Colombia you know the chick is Argentine his girlfriend is Argentine and so if you're Spanish and you're in And you could speak it? Like, well? Yeah.

Well, like, fucking, even if it's Mexican, it's Spanish, that's a great production company. So that's why. I remember as a kid watching one of my first ever black and whites that I kind of gave a chance to. And I don't know why until today. And I watched it three or four times. Every time I go to his house, I'd make him play it for me at this time.

Was the seven samurai. Oh, yeah. You know, and from that game. the one with Bronson and all that. Magnificent Seven. And all that. But I really enjoyed that and I enjoyed that remembering till today because of him speaking Japanese

and the subtitles. Until today, Chinese connection, on the other hand, is one of my all-time favorite Bruce. If you asked me what my favorite Bruce Lee movie, another holiday movie. Oh, I suggest the Chinese collection. I suggest, Just the Chinese connection any time you got fucking two hours.

Because it always brightens up my day because it's my childhood. You know, I love when they do all these Bruce Lee memorabilia shows. No of these people were alive. I saw the upbringing. I saw the fucking, I still remember being a kid and going to Miami with my mother and coming home on a Sunday night and getting home in the green house. Horn is starting. Yeah.

And I must have been five. So it was 1968, you know. Yeah. Well, you, if I go to your house ten times, you're showing me parts of that movie four out of the ten times. I love the Chinese connection from him hanging the people to him, uh, at the end, the fight scene at the end. Yeah. The fight scene at the fucking restaurant.

And when he walks into the place and brings him the portrait back and he says, you know, We Are Not Sick Men. All those scenes, I think it was his best work. He was raw. Fitz the few was on last week for Thanksgiving, that whole weekend, I watched it. The end is good.

The middle parts, I was getting up, moving around, I'd go check Twitter. You know what I'm saying? See, he was fucking around on Facebook, and then I come back. I knew I had it kind of timed, you know, but no.

I think Chinese connection still, enter the dragon is a phenomenal movie, But to me, it's not Chinese connection. That's the thing. It's like there is something about being, it's like when people lose their shit over Star Wars, there are a certain group of people who were of a certain age when that film came out and it captured him. It got you. And I can't shit on them.

Listen, I do shit on them because I don't want to hear it. I don't like Martian movies. I don't like Star Trek. I got you. I've ever seen Star Wars. The only movie that I've ever seen outside my realm. was alien and I fucking loved it. That's way outside my realm

and there's a point in predator where it loses me also. Okay. Predator at first hour with fucking the dudes and the guns and the dude that looks like a, he looks like that creature. The Indian?

Yeah, yeah, the creature. Well, the creature looks like every defensive back in the NFL today. That's why they all get that moppy fucking Jamaican looking ad dude. That's fucking true. That looks like candlesticks or some shit. but that's who you know pred that i can't watch all the way through

there's a couple movies that once you start getting too sci-fi um i tip yeah you can't you can't that's it that's why am i and that's understandable i mean i like movies with heart you know right there you know so um no i'm not a star wars guy i've never watched indiana fucking jones okay i've never no i'm lying to you i saw the one with the newchucks the first one yeah yeah okay that was it I watched the first one. And I love Harrison Ford. Yeah.

I love Harrison Ford. But I mean, it's like Yeah. You got to like that type of movie. And if you don't, what's the fucking point? And I'll tell people all that all the time. I'm not going to go see that. Why would I want to go see that? I'm not going to go see that. I got a movie that again. Put YouTube on again for a second. Okay. I'll let you go back on it. I want to see what you can find in a movie called 29th Street.

Okay. Oh, I saw it one time. I saw it one time It was on It was on video That's when they thought Anthony Leopoglio Was gonna be huge

And I don't know what happened Because he's good We were just talking about The other day Until this I shot I did a A cold case

Mm-hmm No I did a What's the show? He was no No no I did What am I talking You did analyze that

With him Yeah But it's like So I scroll down A little bit Keep going Keep going

It's him that's Denny Gallello. I mean, it was... This is... Well, this guy, that's who the movie, scroll up. Full movie right there, see it? Because I watched it before, and I had a time. That's not the full movie. Scroll down more.

More. Right there. to give it to you there, my brother. Nope. All right, go up. That means you gotta go to the top one. The one that looks right on the top. Hey?

What fucking think you're dealing with, Joey bananas? Go to the 103 mark. This, you know, this movie's about a lottery ticket. Yeah. No volume. Okay. You don't want us to go?

Well, it's a bad thought. Get it out of your head. Let's go. It's getting late. No, Pop, forget about it. I'm going by myself. Get on, Frankie? What is it?

We'll put too much pressure on you, my right? I mean, you're afraid if you don't win, we're going to be disappointed in you. Well, forget that shit. Let's just go and enjoy ourselves. Whatever happens that happens. Going up to my ring, I'm getting my ticket, and I'm going on my sick. What hell's wrong with you? What are you doing?

You know what this means to us? This is the most important moment of our lives, for Christ's sake. No, Pop, it's not your moment. It's my moment. You leave this house without us. We don't lose. Don't come back. When you set in the example, I stand a good chance to lose him.

What the fuck did you say? What the fuck did you say? You were. Are you calling me a loser? I'm not a loser. I'm not a loser. All right, you're a loser! Is that what you want to hear?

You're a winner? What the hell did you do that? It was so great, huh? Except gamble, all I have everything you had a wrong, including your own fucking business. I stayed. I stayed for 35 years. I stayed and raised a family for 35 years.

I did anything I had to do to keep a roof over our heads. That's what the fuck I did! Who stayed in my fucking deal? You stayed this is what you're supposed to do. It'd be better if you left him and put up your shit by all life. He's squashed every dream that I ever had. It's not bad if you got pissed your own dream against the fucking wall. You took me down with you.

You don't know shit about my dreams. Not a fucking thing about my dreams. You think I gabbled my business away. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I love my business. It was the only thing that I fucking owned. I didn't gamble it away. They took it away.

A big explanation. In less I could say, we were doing pretty damn good until you came alone. And I didn't want you. Your mother did. And she nearly died having you with you. Sorry, son of the bitch. And I borrowed the money to keep you and your mother alive.

You're fucking down! On my fucking knees! And I paid Louis Tucci to give me the money to pay off the hospital bills. And when I couldn't pay it back, he took control of my company and my life. You get this straight, you ungrateful, son of a bitch. I am not a loser.

Is it my son- A loser? It's the funny thing about this movie that it's fucking hysterical. Yeah. Like, this is why this movie is so great. It is a Christmas movie. This happened around Christmas time.

It's about a guy who gets a lot of me to get that. It's the first New York straight. And the guy's name is Frank Pesh. He plays his brother in this. It's a real life story of him. Of his brother. Look at this. Look at this.

Lee, keep it going. Look what this is. Paulie Walnuts. Wow. This has some great... Again, you can find it. You know where this movie is always on?

WGN. Yeah. I wouldn't doubt it. It's a weird period where... Movies like this, because this ain't a cheap movie to make. This is a period piece. It's the 60s.

Or like the 70s, maybe? It's like the 70s. It was made in the... the mid-90s. Okay, turn that up. So, so, but it was weird how films like this didn't get theatrical releases, because I don't remember this in a theater. Me neither.

No, I caught this in Boulder. Yeah. I used to go to a video store in Boulder on 28th Street by a Rappahoe Boulevard there. It was like the biggest fucking video store in like 10 states. Yeah. And I became friends at them. And I would always go and get stand-up tapes. And one day the guy recommended.

ended this and I was blown yeah fuck away so would they have movies that were just released in the video stores they weren't released well there have always been movies that were just released in video stores but there were movies well not major releases there were movies that were supposed to be

major releases and for whatever reason we just talked for me on the contrary reasons at the end it's putting money on brittany spears yeah concert film or putting it on lees iat's 40 year old we've already seen him play a gangster ad. Right.

You know, so it's common sense, business, you know. It was weird because they should have had more faith in La Paglia because he was a good actor. And he could have been a star. He could have been much bigger than what he ended up being. And you had Danny Aiello, who was just hot off of do the right thing. So it should have got, even at the smallest, it should have got like an art house distribution.

and it didn't get that. It got nothing. It's... Especially moving here and living here and doing movies and seen... Do you know how many stories I heard? Oh, yeah. You want to IMDB me and I could show you how many movies were supposed to be Hollywood blockbusters.

You know, for every CBS show and NBC show, there's three shows that you'll never hear. Ever hear of. And you'll go, Joey, what was this? And I'll go, that was a guy that had the show. sold at CBS and it's garbage, it's fluff on my resume doesn't even mean nothing to me if it was

up to me I'd take it the fuck down but I don't even know how to do it because it's the same thing sometimes they just it's just stupid shit that people want to do let me see ChipTang okay like the dogs who saved

Halloween and all those when I did those they told me right off the bat that they were going to go to Disney TV they didn't know what area of Disney TV that if we shot them a certain way they were going to

go to Disney TV and they ended up on whatever's on whatever Nickelodeon one of those kids channels ABC Family or so ABC Family and on the 25 days of Christmas you know like three of them ended up on there and then they stopped fucking buying them

the Bronx Bull they still can't release that they've released this movie 18 fucking times. Okay. You know, like a lot of this shit you look at and you go, wow, it keeps, you know, all this is real. You know, Marin, TripTank, Brooklyn 9-9, Partners was a show that got canceled.

The mentalist is real. Leader of the Pact. That was a deal. NBC got, that's a short film I did with a bunch of stars. NBC put it on hold. They would never send me to fucking, you know, Stoneville, the Sinatra Club, the Russian, Stacey's mom, the deported. You'll never see that. Felipe is in that with me.

My life at 26. Keep scrolling. I know you get recognized for your kid stuff too. Well, yeah, because there's a ton of kids, but keep scrolling. I mean, it doesn't end. Wizards of Waverly, yeah. Yeah, look at this. But for every good thing I got, white pants, you know.

I still remember that was going to be huge. They were going to sell it to Adam Sandler, fucking Murder 101. That was my favorite role ever. That was your boy, Dick Van Dyke. Oh, my God, yeah, I remember that. And I played a bookie. I was about 380.

I had to chase him up the stairs. I almost had a lot of time. You got to bring me water to poor old bastard. and he kept rubbing my back. Are you okay? Are you okay? You know, you look at this 18 fingers of death. This motherfucker got this on Showtime.

I gotta sue him. I've never got to die from him. A fine line. You'll never see that. Accidentally on purpose. That's a dog with flees. You know, but then again, you see taxi. The mafia type.

That's garbage. Mop Beck by midnight. That's Rodney Dangerfee. feel. Spider-Man 2 Law nor the co-case ER. These are real.

You know, the mezzo's that was also supposed to be an NBC show. Another Bobby O'Hara story, that was going to change the world. That show,

the people blew so much smoke up our asses that it was fucking unbelievable and we never heard from them again, not a dime. So do you understand

me a lot of this American gun, the gun smuggler? That's what your boy, James Coburn. Okay, I remember. Women versus men, one line with Chaz Pomerick. You Got Nothing is probably one of the saddest stories that I did,

and I'm happy nobody saw it, because they fucking spent money. Remember that was the remortgage era? Where year is that, Lee? 2002. No, 2001. And then I was also on 18 wheels of justice. Oh, shit. That's fucking hilarious

What's El Chupete? I don't know. That's somebody else, but if they want to pay me resigials, it's 1973. There's no way, huh? There's no way. Are you a child actor? Are you in over it?

I was fucking 10. Unless I'm doing porn. Chubeta means dick sucker. Little dick sucker, Chupette, or whatever the fuck. That's the craziness of this business, though. It's like, you think, you know, so many times it's,

you're going to be working with this star, or that star and it's going to blow up but you keep on going you got to keep on going because what else is there no listen I I grew up like you and I love film yeah I'm a stoner so I love to go into a film and dive into a film

from the same perspective as you I look at all those characteristics but it's weird that you also said earlier films that kind of carved your career you know I love Michael man I know you enjoy Michael Mann. In fact, today, Jeffrey Collins said he was having a time with mine.

What is it? What's the introduction to Hannibal Lecter that day? Man Hunter. Man Hunter. He was having a hard time with it, and I was giggling because I enjoy Manhunter. But the Michael Man movie that I always enjoyed, my favorite, because it stole my soul. As soon as I saw that movie, I know that's what I want. want to do and that's the movie thief yeah with james conn willie nelson

belushi's brother Tuesday well Tuesday well just the old man the old Russian guy named robert prosky that fucking guy is scary yeah yeah no we had the scene there but it doesn't you know it's uh when i saw this movie that was it as soon as i saw this movie i was like this movie was on hb oh it was on hb o and it was on hb o every night after the raging bolt Yeah, I remember that. And before, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, I would, I would, I would just go, I wouldn't go, I wouldn't go to, I wouldn't go to, I wouldn't go to, but I go to, fucking the classes, and, uh, bless you, pardon me, and, uh, I saw this movie by mistake, this movie won something big, but I go to, something big, and, uh, and, uh, I saw this movie won something big, at the Cannes Film Festival or something. I didn't know what that was,

no, did I give a fuck? That's not the reason why I watched. I watched it because it was on HBO, and it was after Raging Bull, and I couldn't go to sleep, and it just got, I became a thief after that. I still remember trying to break into places legitimately, like trying to cut the glass with circles and stuff.

And I go, why am I wasting my time? Where's the hammer? Boom, right there, right. But let me open the door for a second. Yeah. So. But it's so crazy, man, because you watch these movies and they, they do shape your life. Like, I was, like, I was, when we started talking about the movies that you wanted to talk about and what would, because you told me, the movies that mean something to you, the movies that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, I sat down.

the first 20, 25 movies were easy. I knocked those out like that. I got up to about 52 movies. It shaped your life? Yeah. And then I just started cutting it down from there. Listen, man, that line I use fucking stay black, that's from do the right thing.

Yeah. When I tell you people don't forget about me, I took that line from another movie we should have had on this list. I slipped. Listen, I've had a lot on my mind. Yeah. This is a science project.

I'm just trying to give you something out of the obscure. And it's to live and die in L.A. Oh, it's a great film. It's one of my fucking favorite films when they chased, what's his name? The fucking counterfeiter. John Tattourouro. Oh, Tituro.

Tarturo is a counterfeiter. It's one of his earlier roles. And when the guy, you know, the guy that plays Jesus and all those movies comes to visit him and he tells him, hey, don't forget about me. Till this day, I used that one line. I love that line. That line

just fucking killed me. Don't forget about me. So all these movies that I've watched, yeah, they've influenced me in one way or another. You know, I forgot to have Harlem Knights on here for the other days. Every time they tweeted that she died, nobody

tweeted my pinky toe. You know what I'm saying? This guy shot me in the fucking pinky toe. Lee, you still haven't seen Harlem Knights. I don't think so now This is something This is what I said to you This is why

I'm not putting down Any generations Or anything like this The same way When I was 13 And I would tell somebody I saw Charles Broughton

They go hey Go see the My name Go see Yeah The 7th The fuck am I gonna watch that And one day

I went over there And I was blown away Yeah I was blown away I enjoyed Bruce Lee movies I enjoyed Sunny Cheba movies But that, and I've seen that movie

18 fucking times That's a movie I paid maybe six times to see Then I bought it Then I got lost And now it comes on once a year And I'll fucking tape it And watch it like Three nights later

I'll watch the first hour Then I'll delete it I'm good Sometimes you can't go through the whole thing But that's why That's what's great about this town is that they will play it in a theater and I will go and I was like you know what

I'm canceling the rest of the night look I don't have a woman I don't have a kid I got nothing holding me down and if I can spend three hours watching a movie and then come home and be inspired to write something it's fucking worth it because that's the investment because sometimes you'll find yourself how many times do you find yourself

watching a comedian usually an older comedian and you think yourself God I would have loved to have written that that's a fucking great joke every once in a while I'll listen to Bill Burr now and I think he's fucking brilliant and I'll listen to him and I'll think

I had an idea like that a long time ago he was just the one that that had the fucking balls to sit down and flesh it out and say these things that weren't politically correct and not be afraid of how bad it might make you look you have to invest the time in shit that you love

so that it'll pay off in some kind of artistic output that you're going to find later and there are times when I'm watching a movie where I'm just like I have no movie in my head I don't have a narrative but I have a bunch of scenes that I want to lay down

to make something happen and you know and it's usually just people conversing with each other talking about bullshit as much as I don't like Tarantino in the early films he did that better than anybody else just conversations between people and how they relate to one another

as it exists around whatever crazy fucking job that they have. You know, Travolta. I know... Let me give some shoutouts. Hold on, brother. Frankie Barker, you know, I love you down, Australia. Lorne Rosencour,

Brian O'Shea, Stephen King, Holly Hathaway, hang in there. Jeff Massey, Rae, Irving, Albert Hemenez and David Lilder. Now, there was maybe, let's see, you know, you can go to the old Reliables, Casablanca if you haven't seen Bogart in a while.

If you're just in the mood to just catch a certain, to catch a certain actor, you could just watch Casablanca. You know what, though, with Casablanca, if you want to know how beautiful a woman can look on screen, Ingrid Bergman Standing there In the smoke

Backlit That skin that face The makeup She's fucking gorgeous Incomparable I mean I love that movie It's a great movie And Bogart is wonderful in it

But there's something about just looking at her I'm like god damn That's a lucky man To be in love with her That's a lucky man Buggy nights Oh I want you to watch

Watch goodwill hunting. And, you know, I mean, these are just films that, listen, guys, I got a thousand movies ago. I'm sitting here. I've sat here in a vast lead and clicked something that I even forgot about. That's the beauty about this. I've watched, you know, I worked at a video store for a year. They had nothing when I went to work at that video store. I had a replenish it.

Like, you guys don't have this, this, this, this, this. I had that radio store going from A to Z because of my movie selections, plus they would fill me in on what was coming out at that time. That was 1985, Captain Video. That's how much I love videos. I love video stores. I loved it. And I was a one-man operation, and I talked them into me delivering videos.

Netflix. So I would go to your house with a video thing. and three movies. And it would be, I forgot what it was at that time. To rent the machine and two movies, it was like 1995 a night. This is going back to, and people would come in and like people,

everybody rent the machine for a night. You know, Lee would bring movies over. I would bring over faces of debt. So what year did people start having VCRs in their house? Probably 82, 83 maybe? 283, 80. Yeah. Gotcha. Yeah, 82. Because I remember

selling, stealing one, and selling the pop-up one, the VHS, the pop-up one like that. If you had one of those, you were cool. Once you started popping movies in, and there wasn't a wide selection in the beginning. No. It was what you got. But I still remember snorting

up a storm watching Scarp face. Like, that made a ton of money on fucking VHS. Yeah. How much was the VHS when they first came out? A VHS tape? Yeah. They were like $100.

No. No, no. A tape. I remember a tower. 59.95. When I worked at the video store in Aspen, I used to deal with one particular. That might have been retail or wholesale. No, no, because I was dealing with the wholesalers.

So we had to buy, you know, we had to buy, movies were like to buy a fucking movie. You know what? Mr. Ramos, it was about $89. Yeah, are you serious? Yeah. Because it was 59. We bought it from the retailer for 49, 59. Yeah, there were movies you got on bargain.

So that's why video stores existed. In the beginning, they made it killing. Then Blockbuster came in and raped it like everything else, ruined it. But they were little guys. The guy I was working for, let me tell you something, I was stealing 200 a day. I was still making money. I was in there fucking six days a week because I knew I could steal 100 to 200 a day

He had no idea what was out Do you follow me? Yeah, I got you right? He had no idea what was out So I would cut deals with people People come, especially for porn When people come in and I told them Like the popular chicks

The chick that was 16 that was doing porn Tracy Lords I told him get 10 of each No, I caught get 10 of each These people coming into They wanted to see Tracy Lodge and snort Coke. And finally he listened to me. I kept ordering him behind his back.

Sure enough. Fucking, I would rent out five and he would rent out five a night. So five movie payments would go to Uncle Joey and five would go to him and he wouldn't even know it. You know, it was like stealing. That's what I did. But I ran the business. I opened it. I closed it.

I cleaned the windows. I cleaned the counter. I dealt with everybody. He was paying me. you know, 12-50 an hour. I should have been getting a piece of the action, so I stole the piece of the action. You gave yourself a piece of the action. But at the end, I just took everything.

At the end, I just cleaned them out one time. Jesus Christ, I think so. Something happened. Are you sure the statute of limitations is open? What are you going to go? Seven years on something like that. What are you going to know? It wasn't no seven years ago.

That's it? No, but that's all it is. Seven years? No, at the end, you know what happened? I think I took cash out of the cash register. Perhaps. Over night. Yeah, yeah.

Listen, I was so broke, it was a bank, Lee. You know what a bank is? It's $50. I went in there and took the bank. I was so fucking broke. Because he fired me, but I kept the key. You always keep the key. You always make a double.

Make a double. Yeah, and if you're stupid enough not to change the locks. That ain't my fault. That's not my fault. I got to get you from what you're working. It was a... That was a crazy time back in the early 80s when it came to video stores. Oh, my God.

They had two of them. They had one in... both. They had one in Snowmast Village and one at Aspen. So, and I know these guys still have movies to think about, but like, that could be a cool question. Like, what I'm thinking about my Christmas break. We'd go to the video store and get, like, my brother and I, we'd each get one. So you guys have this list. Is there one at the end that, like, if you could only go to the video story, my mom, like, one video? Like, which one would it be? Oh, wow, that's a fucking hard one.

And you can answer it at the end of the podcast. Okay. No, even for me, let's say, how old am I now, at the age of 54, or when I was 12? Whatever you want to do, either one. See, it's a different thing, you know? 12 years old.

It's kind of weird. How many times do you go to a video store thinking you want to grab something and you get there and you get something else? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay, or because of the blockbuster days, see, I go back to video stores

where they used to run out late. You have no idea What it is to walk into a video store with a chick You're about to take home And give the high Cuban helmet And you go in there to get this movie And the next thing you know They're fucking sold out

The high Cuban helmet And you're like whoa whoa whoa whoa Listen to me She's hot But she's got to see this movie You know what I'm saying This is it This Richard Giaboy

When he shows his ass It's American Jigolo After she sees Drop the lights on her And I just fucking you know, start swap and spit with her and let the pieces fall where they made. What's all that, sir? There was a time, Lee,

where movies were done. They were just to sell out at my movie theater. Oh, they would? No, no, I'm movies. A movie or video. I'm talking a video store. I'm talking video store where every fucking movie, you're like, what the fuck are you talking about?

And you'd come back. Then there was the people who would sit there, like those people who sit in the parking lot waiting for somebody to pull out like fucking maggots. Then there was people who would sit there. there by the thing all day, by the returns. I'm waiting for movies to come in. You just go in, you adapt, and you get a new fucking movie.

I'll tell you what, man. I grew up on the March of the Wooden Soldiers for Thanksgiving. And then this month, I hope it's on the Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Oh, I love it. That is one of the most brilliant films. Phil Silvers kills it every time. Phil's Silver has been killing it since Jesus' less Chicago. Phil Silvers kills it.

I watch, you know, I watch Channel 20. Yeah. So, do you have it? I think on my TV, it's Channel, Channel 2. So you get Honeymooners on Sunday night. Yeah. And you get Colombo. You get, Jesus, you get tremendous shows.

Why don't you just buy the DVD? Of what? He doesn't do that. On that movie. Of what movie? Whenever movie you're going to do. Oh, I got the DVD of that. You just said, you hope it's on.

But it's the, this is the, There's something all... Okay, look, it's good to have it on your shelf, but when you just turn something on your TV and all of a sudden it appears, that's magic. That's a whole other thing. Yeah, but I can't watch those commercials. I can't do it.

Sometimes it's not on with commercials. Sometimes it's on Sunday. Sometimes, you know, Lee, it's kind of weird for me. You know why I left New Jersey beside everything else? You know what I really hated about New York? That I could go with any time and whatever I want.

there if I had the cash yeah a boat to Shanghai a machine gun 20 fucking black chicks who want to snort coke and suck dick or just a pound the coke when you have something that available to you it's not good yeah with me I worked at that video store and I don't know you you guys know how oh man this is embarrassing stories but this is why I get on Lee and this is why I've been getting on Rick for years. Because when I was 21, in Aspen and all those resorts,

there's a downtime, Rick. So you work from November 15th to April 1st, and then businesses close. I mean, it's Clint Eastwood type shit. And some people luck out and they get job

shoveling snows. My first whatever up there, because I left one year in February. but my first whatever up there I had that job working at the video store part-time then there's a manager and another girl but the owner was a paying he has to work for

but he wouldn't give me no fucking hard time because I would tell him shut the fuck up bitch Jesus gracious you know and then I started borrowing money from him to buy Coke that's why at the end I couldn't work from no more because I was borrowing money from him and I would give him money when I'd come back I would borrow $5,000 for $6,500

but then he would go don't give me the $1,500 just give me $1,500 in Coke. Like he was getting a fee. But that sounds a complete different fucking story there. But at that time, I had the keys to the fucking thing. And they're not renting movies. All the movies are there. There were, Rick.

There were thousands of movies that I had gotten. Now, some movies, I would pop in the daytime when I was there. Yeah. But again, I'm on my feet. I'm answering phones. Who's not coming and asking me creepy questions about a movie? What do I know about it? If I could order him a movie.

So if it was available, I would take it home now. So at that time, my girlfriend said to me, listen, I really love you and all this shit. But do you mind if I go down the fucking boulder and see my bag? I go, what the way can go? So for four weeks, I didn't have a job. I didn't have to leave the house leave for like six, five or six weeks. And the only thing, I had a puppy. had a German Shepherd puppy

She had got me a puppy named Hercules So all I had to do was go outside And throw snow fam and play with him And I would go upstairs and make banana Vanilla ice cream Or banana milkshakes And I would sit there and watch

Every Charles Bronson movie Like I watched everything All over again From Valachi Dirty Dozen Like all those movies you asked When was the last time you saw there was six weeks there

that that's what I did I mean all day get up at 9 go downstairs walk the dog make a few calls and at 10 o'clock go upstairs

and put fucking movies in till two then eat a big lunch then watch more movies to 6 then go out and get fucking half a pizza and then come home

and watch movies till midnight there's nothing in the world like it especially when you're smoking fucking reef like a savage and you got munchies and your metabolism and you don't give a fuck. That's a bad habit to get into it. Yeah, it is.

And that's what I would do. So as soon as a movie came in, if they didn't rent it the first night, I brought it home and watched it. I was watching, you know, three movies a fucking night, guys. I caught up on all those movies I had watched as a child

and my mother died because for six years I didn't really have a TV. I didn't really watch TV until like 86. That sounds like my dream job. Yeah. I don't like that from high school. That's why I hate that shit because I know

the stagnant feeling that you feel. But I was 21. I was in shape. You know what I'm saying? I wasn't, but I was just living all the fucking milkshake. I mean, it's a great feeling, man. You just sit there and you lose yourself in it. When you opened up my freezer leave, it was just

container upon a container of vanilla ice cream. I would leave every three days just to go get fucking bananas. Jesus Christ. That's it. Just to go get bananas. You don't want to eat any food? And I was, I'm not, I would, everything in the town was closed.

Yeah. So except the supermarket. So I don't have to go to the supermarket cook my own meals. So let's like that. The only time I went downstairs was to shovel snow and to lift weights to keep in shape a little bit. But besides that, I'd watch fucking movies all day, guys. So like, that's what, I'd pray for that shit. I prayed for that shit back then.

When in Colorado, when there's a two-foot blizzard or three-foot blizzard, you live up in the mountains, they tell you to prepare for that shit. Those are the days that I know. In fact, I was telling him two weeks ago, him and I just did a podcast and we're talking about my fear of comedy, how scared I was. Okay. In January, it's two weeks. There's two weeks, Colorado only gets cold two weeks of the year. The last two weeks of December or the first two weeks of January, and we were down for a few days.

So my wife would go to work and the baby were going to daycare. That meant I can watch movies. Oh, my God, in peace, without a woman asking your questions. Because once you get married, you forget the question element during the movie. So you also lose that element. Once you get a girlfriend and then you try to show them your movies, that never works. Let me show you Charles Bronson. Why is he shooting a black man?

Because he took his horse. Because he took his fucking horse. That's why. I don't fucking know why he's shooting him. I didn't write the fucking script. So sometimes it's bad. Dude, just go deep, deep. Oh, yeah, I get flashbacks.

Like a flash. Oh, she used to ask me the worst questions when I was deep in a movie. I'm telling you, even to this day, I dread. If I'm dating a woman, I dread the moment when she's like, let's go see a movie.

Because I know. you're going to ask your fucking questions you're not going to shut out and I can't hang I want to watch my fucking movie I was like You're a professional Yeah I was like here

Here's a fucking notepad Here's a pen Write down your questions for At the end of the movie we could talk about I figured it out I figured it out Driving movie theaters Driving movie theaters were great

They still have them And that way Very few of them And that way The girlfriend can talk And it's not interrupting anybody else Listen I don't know what the fuck

You're talking about All right. If they're going to talk, they're going to interrupt anything. They're going to interrupt. That's what they do. How many podcasts do you release a week? I do at least one a week. One a week.

And we're putting one up. I'm recording tomorrow and putting it up tomorrow night. Like I said, I personally endorse Rick Ramos for film. If you're really a student of film, listen, there's a couple times how to cut them off because forget about it. It's like an NYU course. He'll tell you the day the guy, that, that's a student. The guy shot the thing. There was 62 degrees, and the film doesn't take in 82 degree weather.

This guy's an encyclopedia. And I just wanted to share thoughts about the fucking holiday films this year. Again, I didn't want to come to you with the easy shit that you already know. Oh, yeah. There's people that already know shit. You know, that's what, you know, and why did I want to, I just want to give you maybe something obscure. I'm sorry that we didn't play video on a lot of them. YouTube, like, got mad this week.

We had great footage of Andy Garcia and the other guy, but just take our fucking list. We'll take our word for it because these are good. We're not wasting our time on shitty films. No, planes, trains, automobiles. Things are doing them when you're dead. The thief. Outlawed Josie Wales. Death Wish.

Man on fire. Being there is highly recommended. Huckoo's Nest. Highly recommended on this list. Boogie nights since leading to know about it. Highly recommended. If you haven't seen the original longest yard, Highly recommended.

Don't watch Boogie Nights with your parents. All right. The Pope of Greenwich Village, highly recommended. The Poseidon Adventure, the original, highly recommended. Carrie, the original, highly recommend.

This is a movie that I'm going to highly recommend to you. This is definitely a Rick Ramon's film. I haven't seen it. And last week, did you watch 60 Minutes? I didn't see it. It was about Donald Sutherland.

Never got an Oscar. Yeah. And how he thinks he's an ugly man. It was very interesting. and the break he got was in Kelly's Heroes. Kelly's Heroes is great. Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, and

here's the best one, Carol O'Connor, and fucking Donald Sutherland. So that's all another interesting war movie to watch. Like I said, I could sit here and tell you apocalypse now. You know that already. Kelly's Heroes, it's maybe

something new. Maybe there's something that you like. What's up, do you? The one I feel like maybe a missing from your list is comedy like I feel like I don't know sometimes during Christmas if I've worked like when I used to work full time I wanted to just relax and show like

I was thinking about like the jerk another Steve Martin great brilliant film the jerk like the well I like uh what is it a blazing saddles like just something like those stupid ones I can just turn on and tune out what I think about you is you're very open

like you know you watch cheers you've gotten involved in some shows. And you saw the beauty of the 70s and the 80s type of film TV. If you see that show, Cheez, besides it being a great show, look at how many stars came out from that show.

You got to find the casting director and suck their dick and juju juice. That's another one of those things. It's like, who produced that? That was James Burroughs. James Burroughs did that. He did Taxi. If you watch Taxi, that's one of the great ensemble pieces of all time.

Davido, Christopher Lloyd, Judd Hirsch, Andy Kaufman, Mary Lou Hennan, I mean, just across the board, a great cast because this guy knew what he was doing as far as putting things together. You want to watch some comedies? Check out Robert Zemeckis's used cars. I love that movie. Jack Warden giving a dual performance. Fucking brilliant all the way through. Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence in Life? Do you remember Life?

That was, that was, I mean, he really knocked it out of the park with that. and the greatest ensemble film of all time, Young Frankenstein. I mean, I love Blazing Saddles, but Young Frankenstein hits it on every note. There's not a bad actor in the whole film. It's fucking brilliant. When I thought about the comedy realm, I don't mess with it. Yeah. I'll tell you why.

Because it would throw people off completely off about me. Why? What do you mean? Because there's not a lot of comedies that I enjoy. I enjoyed growing up. There's not a lot of comedies that hit it out of the park with me. I enjoyed the Peter Sellers films. I enjoyed the Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor.

Stir crazy and the other one. You know, I enjoyed those comedically, but some of the shit that they wanted me to enjoy, even as a kid, I didn't enjoy. Like I would go, what the fuck of these people laughing about? This corny-ass fucking shit. Corny as shit. Like what?

What was an example of that that you just know? You're talking about way back? You're talking about the Marks Brothers? You're talking about the stooges? No, no, no. No, no. I was never a fan of Santa Ana Live. Okay.

Okay, so that threw me off right there. But there was something early on that threw me that I knew I was not into this realm, this genre. I just wasn't into it. And then the breakfast club. Mm-hmm. I like comedies, but I want it to have heart. I don't like, ha, ha, ha, not all the way. I can't fucking do that.

Even as a kid, I couldn't do that. Why? I don't know, except for maybe. Especially with the weed. Even Pete and Chong movies, I enjoyed them. Oh, yeah, that's a little bit. But they weren't might to go. I don't know.

I'm with you. I'm with you. I like a comic film that has heart. Like, if you mentioned Cheech and Chong, born in East LA, maybe because I relate to it differently, but the very fact that he's understanding who he is, and now he values his experience over here when it's taken away from him.

You know, I saw that on a 30th anniversary, like, a month ago, and I was just blown away about how good it was. I mean, I fell in love with it again. I still remember giggling at Cheech and Chung movies in Jersey City, though. I'm not going to bullshit you. They're fun. I still remember giggling. But I know what you're talking about with the heart,
