Let's start killing catholics blaming on ices. You know what I'm saying? Anyway, the holiday holiday season is upon us, man, and you got a couple free days Yeah, and there's nothing worse than yeah, you want to uh fucking binge watch Some of your favorite shows sign felden friends are fucking king of thorns, but let me tell you something Been doing this podcast the last couple years working with rick Talking to the guests that have come on the show. I've learned something I learned that the a lot of the younger generation Doesn't know about a lot of great great movies that listen. I'm like you guys when I came from kube

I'm even being a kid. I wouldn't watch black and white rick. Oh rick. If it was black and white I wouldn't watch you. You know was the only show I tolerated black and white the honeymooners. Maybe yeah Once the honeymooners came and flipped me and then I started watching the jack betty show Bilko and yeah, so we get this thing that all its 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? Uh, he was getting home for thanksgiving. Yeah playing strains. It's a christmas film. It's a it's a christmas It's thanksgiving, but it has more of a christmas feel to it

And it's it's a it's a celebration of the holidays and 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 dawg I know that 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, oof my dogs are on fire. He's not like He was like rubbing his feet and shitting 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 computer. 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 during the talks. I was telling him. Yeah, it'll work Well as we got close. I'm like, I don't want this in the fucking show. Yeah, I don't like that shit in the show That was the only time When I really really fucking laughed my ass. 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 like it, you know, if you if you're 29 30

25 and you see steve martin you see a fucking old fucking white. Yeah. Yeah, that's on facebook with a banjo And you're like, what? 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 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 movies and 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 and he'll never remember it You know for a time there. I didn't speak to mark mary 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 he 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 he goes, hey You know the movie I like with the the maryland lights a lot about the young kid was the writer from san diego And he goes to work for rolling stone Cameron crow cabin crow when when fucking mark marynd 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 I have to tell you something. You were really good in that scene

I go you were really good in that scene. I go 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. He was doing an la or he was doing a couple nights in la 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 glow and he's great in it for glow. He's fucking tremendous in it Talk 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 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 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 calabasas all the way up in the desert Where there's wind and it was dusty and it was like a desert And the week is ending friday the 15th. Yeah, 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 fourth, you're already fucking working. Yeah when you get back on the screen You know, 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 at a 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 could look at that dude from san francisco He was in that movie with fucking uh That now he's pretty he's in everything. He was usual suspects He was in fucking the movie about cuba. Oh, oh kevin spade. Yeah, kevin, um

Kevin kneeling. No, not kevin kneeling. What was his name? Kevin? Oh god I don't know. He does the colombo. He does a shadner. Yeah, kevin pollock kevin pollock. Yeah, you know, so the The comedians range and and this is a movie that all right, uh I don't know if He never really did comedy john candy, but he was part of a troupe Up in canada. Well, he was he was part of lampoon. He was uh sctv second city Lampoon and then he came down here and he did second city over here

And I think they wanted him for uh saturday night live But at that point saturday night live was saturday night live was chase acroid bill murray Uh, uh, belushi and then the girls gilda radner jane curtain So they they were pretty solid with what they did And what john candy did was smart is that they 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 larou this uh this big time hollywood um

scumbag type of uh Italian agent he played the schmengi brothers, which was like he's polish german Uh, uh, uh polka dancing maniacs him and uh, what's his name? Eugene levy so What john candy had Was on a whole other let I mean i'm glad he never came down to s uh to saturday night live Because it would have destroyed him it wouldn't 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 gonna come in and he's good. What do you got a 12 week weight program? That's perfect for me I'm gonna walk out of here a lean mean fighting machine. He's got herald ramus sitting next to him Just looking at him like really that's what they're gonna do and it but there's so much there's so much Boyish kind of naivete and everything that he did which was beautiful If you've seen a movie one of the later movies that he did was called um Only the lonely now. It's not a great film

But it's got so much heart and soul to it because he's uh, he's a 40-some year old man He's a 40-some year old cop living in chicago with his mother And he falls in love with this kind of way fish girl Played by ali sheedy who? who works Put 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 harrah Now a lot of the film doesn't work because of these really shitty um, uh dream sequences that christ 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's just they want trains and planes Why give him a shitty movie and then you lose credibility? No, let's leave just leave my money Sometimes chris colombo. Who gives a fuck? Let's go with trains and planes trains 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 knockers is 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 At this point put on my credit card. I'll take a part-time job. Watch. Oh, you should just get me to my family So I could be happy. What's that dog? Well, like what do you guys think?

And I wanted 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 and I thought this movie was pretty funny But just in compare when it when you guys said transplants and automobiles I started thinking about due date that came out a few years ago. Mm-hmm. It's obviously was very inspired by that Galifianakis and Rob and Robert Downey 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 Galifianak in that movie Galifianakis and Robert it's it's it's a very similar story But here's the thing Galifianakis 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 and 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 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 Now without the two of them working together, but that's a good question and here's the beauty of it. Yeah that I don't go to constant 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. I got no where to go and nothing to do I'll listen to anything I listen to people I I don't know People who people have recommended to me You know people send me their music on you on 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 whether I listen to it. Nothing really Knocks me off my pants anymore. There's a couple new bands songs. I hear the like good songs I look to see what is and 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 kappa, 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 experiments over the last 15 years

When you ask rick ramos, how is the movie goes? What's the trailer? They put the best shit in the fucking trailer, you know, or So when I watch 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 Feta 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 fuck the like fucking broccoli. All right 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 how we even do the homework and look to see how I did in the box office. That's how creepy I 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 and when I heard yeah that they were trying to base it Now I really have. Yeah. No, you know a couple years ago Some of you told me shooter Was the director Antoine Foucault's 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. Yeah, I'm not gonna sleep that week I have to light candles all night And put a food food out You know polish food for Charles Bronson out that's gonna be a bad week for me put a picture of him out You know because that goes against everything death wish. No, you're right death wish is probably number two My christmas films To watch because I saw it in the movie theater as a child

When it first came out and then just like I had seen the velachi papers with him before I had seen the indian movie Chateau's land chateau's land. Yeah hard times that 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 Uh death wish 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 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, uh like the like the jude did Alan Burkowitz did on the train that you shot him in the legs of 22 That's always been you know, I'm saying like there's people who are too fucking confused

Who don't really know who to fuck their fucking with death wish is a movie that came out in 74 It was the first of you know, uh, they did five five of them and 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 it's not gonna work. Did you jump on in the back of a pickup truck? By this point I stopped. Yeah, I had stopped like I had just gave up after three. I think I stopped Yeah, but the first one just stayed with me because I lived in that neighborhood. I knew that park

I knew that every I had walked that park as a kid And uh, just as a scene that he's on a train. Let's see if you can find a death wish Train scene. Yeah, that's where he's he's baiting. He's he's he's putting bait out there Remember he's got that even and gardenia 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 Switch played and Bronson. No fuck around man. This is the thing though if um Tell me when you found it with your question about these things that that that um Due date would have been your generation plane streams and model mobiles are you also got to remember what?

It's nowhere near the level of and 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 at the equal of it But I'm just it's there's there's a difference, but there's a Choice to be made between the current versions or going back to the 60s 70s 80s 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 At Hollywood's heyday, they're released in 400 400 plus movies a year. She is you know, so to anywhere between 300 and 400 movies a year

Okay, this is the Bronson vs. Muggers. Go ahead So So it's too, 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 raps Jeff goblum Jeff goblum is one of the muggers That rapes the daughter and spray paints the house. Yeah Does all that creepy shit. So here's two other dudes new york's in the 70s

When the trains were a little on the clean side That's when they were new no, I think they clean these up for this movie because they wouldn't allow them to show shitty graffiti trains The problem with the only the only thing I really knocked I have a good 70s movies Where how they dressed up the villains. Oh, yeah, like both of these guys are just horrible. You got fucking zuko from fucking greece you know And the other guy I don't know what the fuck he's wearing he looks like willy cologne

Yeah, there's no nuance to it. It's just like blatantly. These are scumbags, you know, they don't even try The second film's even worse You know 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 a this is memory lane for you. This is remembering shit. Yeah, I get that Yeah

By one more So if everyone listening the two guys are dead The funny thing is charles bruntz and they always said he couldn't act now look how good he was Yeah, he was beautiful there because he showed fear Before he shot the guy it wasn't like I'm ready It wasn't his confident 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 brunson had this quality that he didn't need to speak. He didn't need to have uh long monologues or 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, um, you know going back to 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 80s, you know, but In the same respect of 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 was were suggesting to you They're very slow paced film. They're telling the story. There are 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 howl 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 a friday

And it was yanks from the movie theaters by thursday. Yeah, it did god awful But it's a story about five fucking hoodlums who will 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 uh once upon a time in america He had done the prince of the city prince of the city. What's up? Those two 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 hiddenly I Could see old So here's treat williams working on the funeral parlor. He's down in the imbobbing room And he's working out But he's beating the fuck out of a dead guy with a suit on You're the bonus now

Don't bother him much Smiling with you man. Why don't you show some respect for the dead? I knew this guy when he was alive He was a manly rammer. You don't mind much. You know you're doing this You don't mind much Bill Uh, we're doing an action for the man with a plan Small time one night's work. It's good for ten large you wanted Ten large? Yeah

Yeah Okay, I guess good Go 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 whatever

I'm in the back of beyond They call him critical bill because you never went up against the guy bill didn't put the guy in a critical condition at the very least But in the days there never was a better wingman when things got Fucking tremendous scene now There's another one that I wanted 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 Scrolls down a little bit. There's a there's a scene here Where I keep going I keep going No shit Oh, I know what it is Go up go up go up go up put uh 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 the fucking mindset Hold it now they're getting hunted down by a guy. They're all gonna get killed They all got to leave This guy all then 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 seen critical bill around I can't find the man anywhere. Um, I haven't seen him He's gonna have something for you What's going on Tartar flight leaves in the morning you got to lay over in Rome Greek islands you'll be having moussaka and me kudos by dinner tomorrow night

I don't take such a home to normal porn theaters the most comeback stroking it around you The cool blue waters in the Mediterranean White I ain't gonna run. What are you talking about? I've been thinking hold and 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

And he got a cancer a bad one 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 No one he was gonna die Was he sorry he never did nothing

Was he sorry he never did the foxtrot in the $2,000 a night booker In a Paris nightclub Jimmy We did the things Well, then I appreciate what you're saying But listen I need you on this island, man. Jimmy. Jimmy. Um, I need you there I don't

Yeah, Christopher Walken Fuckin this guy that played Gotti Uh, this has a fucking Bill Nunn is in this movie This has a fucking great cast I'm getting another slow movie that they came out in 96 About that time 97 I was living in Seattle. I saw it in Seattle. I used to remember the movie theater And I went back two days later and it was gone

You know what breaks my heart is that It's hard as hell to find movies like that There's like a weird group of films that they won't put on Netflix They won't put on Amazon 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 I, this movie I've wanted to own for so long And you can't find it? 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 like, it got released probably March or something This is a good movie and it just It's one of those movies, you know what, and you're right This was the era when all those movies were coming out All junkies, all those movies And this one, I was just lonely one Friday afternoon I saw it and what 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 there 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 wasn't anything, nothing else 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 Freddie? Freddie, his father gets his wake that night And I don't know if you remember me 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 on we'll just have to play it and you guys can only listen to it Oh, man Yeah, I was gonna 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 When we're watching a movie, watching this show live We'll just talk about the rest of them I get it, I get it

It's no big fuck 95 95, see, that's what I Jesus Christ Because what I said, Pulp Fiction was 94 As of where I was 92 I was in Seattle, I'm 94 or 5 I mean, it makes sense, but I got to Seattle in fucking

June of 95 When did this come out exactly? There's a show Let's see I buried this at the end of summer, beginning of winter End of summer Yeah, beginning of fall, maybe, you know, summer around there December 1st

Yeah, fall, see, they didn't have any, they had no, they had no faith in it No, just December 1st December 1st, 95 They got released on DVD or VHS August of the next year or something like that Probably on video tape back then, and it, because I don't know if it ever saw a DVD Oh my god So the budget was $7 million? Guess how much it grossed

Half a million $5.29 Yeah, see, 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 Casillo Amando, yeah We have a friend, Amando Casillo, that he got a part in a movie as a hot dog And it's a great movie, it's a, listen, it's with Ray Leona It's with Justin Timberlake's girlfriend as a fucking stripper Oh, that's the Adam McGoyan film, yeah Yeah And I asked, I mean, I enjoyed that film so much that we could not figure out

And you know, when I questioned 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 a night movie With Ray Leona, Justin Timberlake's girlfriend Jessica Beale, yeah Jessica Beale fucking somebody, I mean, she plays a, oh, the strip club owner was the guy who died, Road House Oh, Sam Hilli, no, Patrick Swayze Patrick Swayze, that's right

Brilliant film, slow paced $100 a day movie, what happened with that movie was they shot the fucking movie They shot it all over Elk and Podge Yeah It's shot, I mean, they shot it so dumb, like, for people who don't watch, who don't live in Hollywood They wouldn't 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 NerdMelt? On Sunset, yeah Okay, they shoot scenes from NerdMelt when they're in the Hindu restaurant Remember, on that block, you got toy You got toy, then you have another Thai restaurant Then you have like a Middle Eastern restaurant, like, no, no, it's not Middle Eastern, it's Hindu I remember it's red, it's got that, it's got like a temple kind of thing to it

Yeah, yeah, 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 fucking ten fucking years, I walked around there I remember that, do you? 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 at that point Because these, 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 marketing And they do those test scores in the films So, you have five films, okay? Lee Syat's film is scoring fucking high

Yeah Rick Ramos film is scoring men's amends Don't say nothing Yeah Don't say nothing to nobody Joey Diaz's film Oh my god Yeah

We had 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 Diaz and Lee is paying Joey Diaz is taking the fucking hike That's right You know, listen, you gotta get Lee off No, no, Lee was creepier No, well, Joey, no, Lee was creepier Okay

Well, Lee is also paying now Okay, well, it's the same thing They take what they have And they drop it on the movies that they have The three, okay, 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 to make a three to five million dollar film Because unless you're willing to gamble big The return isn't gonna be big, you know Three to five million They're thinking to themselves, what am I gonna get with that? What kind of a star am I gonna get? How am I gonna push it? Every once in a while something like Get Out happens

And boom, it goes through the roof But that's not gonna 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 gonna change anything Because they still want to go They still would rather fund Avatar at 250 million dollars

So the chance that they might make a billion with it But even with that, 250 million You're gonna spend another 150 million in marketing And remember, you gotta market all around the world now So it's not limited to the United States Now you gotta hit the Asian market You gotta hit the European market You gotta print them up in different languages

It's a whole other fucking thing now It's a fucking nightmare 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 gonna get I'm gonna tell you what's another artist after That's fun to watch over the holidays A lot of fucking fun

And again, a lot of people know 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 gotta watch three or four of his movies Maybe three automatically However you watch him is up to you

You're gonna go revenge on the Pink Panther Being there What's 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 could be the year two million five And being there is still one of the most beautiful holiday films My mom just bought it for me for Hanukkah Did she? Did you watch it yet? I think you're gonna love it I mean at least eat some stars or fucks with your head

So you gotta watch it again Oh my god, okay He plays such a sweet character I just watched it again about two months ago And I cried and thought about Marilyn And I thought about a lot of things That was the movie that made me go back to the county store Really?

They called me that Friday and said Fuck away in here no more If you wanna come back Fuck If you wanna call him for spots And I was like, you know what? Yeah And that Sunday before I was taking the colonoscopy

Lee was taking me to the hospital Four in the morning They got a camera up my ass So 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 by myself Coming up there Being there I had ten minutes 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

This is going to be It's the kind of thing where you take yourself I'm gonna have a rough day tomorrow Because I'm watching this shit I'm watching this shit all the way through I'm not following this thing You know, and the thing about being there is That it's, he's beautiful

But she's Oh, Shirley McClain is great He's beautiful Again, none of you don't even know what Shirley McClain is I was a mediocre Shirley McClain fan Until I watched that movie So here's another holiday movie that is just You know, I was telling somebody the other day at Jiu Jitsu

That one of my favorite pink pantoscenes Is when he's at the costume place Yeah And they knock on the door And the guy gives them a bomb You know, special delivery, a bomb A bomb, okay A burn

And then he comes and goes, a bomb And he throws it up in the end And 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 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 pant, the strikes again You know what I mean, they did so many Yeah, yeah, yeah Revenge The one with the moat was the mother Very funny

Yeah The one with the Italians And the fucking When he dresses up like Al Pacino Yeah He swallows the cotton And all that shit 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 this

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 hippie With Groovy, like whatever Yeah Let me tell you something, bro That everybody stole from him as an actor

As an actor Oh yeah 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 It was on fucking something

It wasn't Take the Money and Run But it was something No, no I love you Alice B. Toklas Something where he's like a hippie Yeah Everybody stole from him And if they watched that shit

So many people watched that And said, where does he get his fucking balls Yeah Great, great actor Great house 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 some must watch If I come to your home And I'm gonna 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 This movie is This movie was basically Again Yeah Situational comedy This shit you can't write One fool over the cuckoo's nest

I think is a fantastic, fantastic, fantastic holiday film I just had a clip before And I think I figured out a way to play it That's crazy because I was just watching it last night Look at that You know? Martini playing poker And Martini reminds me of Lee

He keeps saying hit me Hit me And he's fucking looking at 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 get shit Fry and smoke it You understand? Yes You understand He looks like me when I first met him When I was a kid We had a little bit of hair

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 Yeah 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 Yeah That's how I still remember

I was still At Sacred Heart School for boys So I think I did see this in the movie theater Mm-hmm 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 To watch all these movies And I watched this there I saw the Exorcist there I saw Tommy there

Mm-hmm I saw The longest yard there I saw Rocky there Yeah I saw Enter the Dragon there I saw Chinese Connection there I saw all my top top movies there

Yeah But one of the movies that I remember walking out of there Just blown away from Was the original longest yard Oh yeah That's why when they did it I was against it

And the way I'm like Wait a second That's me Mm-hmm Let me go in there Fight for that fucking role Respect I still remember

Who I went to that movie with I still 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 eight When I was at that age If a movie was rated out They'd still let you in 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're getting in there You know what I'm saying Even if you had your father's 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 look like Yeah In 1973 It was Steve McQueen James Colburn

Who else was hot? At that time You know Colburn McQueen Of looks Oh Paul Newman Paul Newman

Paul Newman But at the same time This guy was the sexiest man In America When we played Look at this shit And you watch this The suit he had on

He just finished smacking In the head And he smacked her He threw her to the ground He threw her to the ground And choked her This is more of this man Let it skin it on

Recently released Give me the police You know what's crazy Whether the remake I didn't know They told me They were shooting in Long Beach Yeah

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 Yeah And they were shooting The car scene that night The car shoot Was gonna be an all night scene In the longest yard

The one I did And I knew that If they got hit with a shit To drive the car It wasn't gonna be This was tremendous In the movie kid You were rooting for him to go?

Yeah We're like get out the fuck out of there Bye Bye Now they can drive back to the Really? I mean that's some amazing stunt work Right there

Oh yeah The bridge is lifting, people, isn't it? Oh, oh, they escaped. You gotta remember, back in the 70s, there was nobody cooler than Bert Reynolds. Nobody. And with Lennon Skinner playing, that adds to the, oh, and he lights a cigarette. The whole fucking deal. Now he's gonna get out, what's he gonna do?

He's gonna go right into a bar. Man, they were putting out some good movies. Oh, that's good, that was a kid. Why would he do that? Because it's her car. Look at this fucking savage. Yeah. It's one of the great car change 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 chapter like this.

This was more of the 10 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, like, I could sit here with him, show him, leave something. Yeah. And he'll tell me, I'm gonna go watch it in a week, like, or just say it goes, now I've been busy. Yeah. I know he didn't like it. When I played Boogie Nights, the firecracker scene, the Chinese guy.

Oh, my God. Two days later, he called me. He's like, Joey, hey, hey, hey. And I was blown away. Yeah. I didn't know what got him to even go home and bring it up. Like, Marky Wahlberg, 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 him, people's head blow up, you know, King of New York or when I compare comparisons of the acting of, you know, I watched that movie for about an hour. I had nothing to do. It was late night. I did something. I was 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 to tap out, but I watched the first hour of it when they're sweeping. He gives them, he goes to off ice cube, whatever. And he gives him the thing and he tells him I'll be back later on this afternoon.

The garbage bags are there. I watched all that. That movie, but 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. There's the 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 and I could tell them a million stories about Man on Fire. Yeah. And I love Man on Fire. I feel Man on Fire is in the top three movies that come up in the last 20 years, but I also feel that for me to get to 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 them to watch the mechanic, which I enjoy.

Yeah. I rather than watch Death Wish. That's why I think you're right. I think it's a progression. Yeah, it's a progression to a point where you understand movies and you understand the genre that's being depicted there. And it's like, people ask me about, about watching movies. They say, find a director you like and then jump into their work.

For me, the 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 Coen Brothers. You get into Brian De Palma. You get into, um, 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 Carlitos Way and Carlitos Way blows it out of the water for me. It's such a beautiful film. The clip was there also. Now let me answer this. Yeah. The reason why I used, uh, I didn't even play it yet. You know, I know you and I both enjoy it.

And we've got a couple of mutual, you know, as far as Michael Cimino, yeah, the dragons. Yeah. We got Mickey Rourke in there. Uh, you know, we loved them in the wrestling. Yeah. You know, we loved them in, uh, in fact, I was going to play a clip from Angel Heart, 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, uh, you know, what's in 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, uh, what's the one when he put makes the chick put pumpkins in her pussy and shit. He does some crazy shit. I can't remember. The one that everybody steals from now.

Everybody's, everybody's trying to remake that movie. Nobody's going to remake them and Kim Bassenger. Uh, nine and a half weeks. Nine and a half weeks. You know, nobody can be, you know. Why is there a pumpkin in there? I don't know. I don't even know.

There's a food sex scene. It's crazy. It's fucking crazy, but I always enjoyed Mickey Rourke. You watch him in diner. You watch him in diner. He was a fucking star in diner. I forgot how good diner was. You know, so I included, uh, I always really included Angel Heart.

Angel Heart 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. People will 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 Godfather? You know why I really like the Godfather? Because I went to watch the Godfather movies here and it fucked up my head because there's a scene in there where he explains, uh, 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, he's sent, he's a great attorney. And I remember going home that night, going, my listen, I asked you for a little brother what 15 fucking times already nobody showed up.

I'm fucking 11. I want a little brother. So instead I'm going to find one of these little kids that runs around and bring him home and we can feed him and I can make him 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 in a completely different way of most people relating to that movie. The mob aspect don't give a fuck to me. The mob aspect is interesting and it's really well done.

For me, for me, if you want to watch a mob movie, 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 film. That's an event, that's something that you have planned for. It's unbelievable. That's the one you sit on at six, eight 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 stab. And you could stay up because you don't give a fuck. That's the thing. That's the beauty of it. These movies are there for you.

Can you watch something for six hours directly or do you have to turn it off for the three hour mark? 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 three or four times. You've seen it 82 fucking times. You'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 that's four hours. I can watch a four, five, six hour long film if it's in the 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, fine, let me get something to eat real quick. I told you, I told you Lee 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 is he thinking of doing with his future? And his girlfriend sitting there, sitting there staring at the ceiling with the movie on pause. Cause he's a nice white kid.

He's not a savage like us. Yeah. He's going to answer. He's going to answer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 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 at eleven, it's still two thirty. 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.

No, that's... That's the focus I am. Yeah. That's where my focus goes. That's where my problem starts. Because my phone rings. It's my agent. You gotta go.

This one was always the time for me. Yeah. So that's why I never get involved in those things. Because I know I do not have the time and the day time. 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. I go to Acupuncture 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 focus. I can't focus now. I love going to movies. I wish there were more like 24-hour theaters. Yeah. Those would be the best. That's what I need.

I need like a midnight movie. You can see a midnight movie. Yeah. Home all the way. 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 the computer.

I look up your theater and you have the mechanic coming out at midnight. Yeah. I will probably call the only go. You got any stars? Yeah. They're at the office. Why? And I'll put Lee together.

I'll tell him I'm going to eat something good at 10.30. We'll take him over to fucking Morton's to get the steak sandwich. And after that, we'll fucking shoot over. You know, yeah, you've been the Morton. Yeah. Now I'm joking. But the late night, but they open till 10, right? Probably.

Yeah. They suck like that. They fucking... 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 till midnight because savage is like me a lurking. Yeah.

So I'm going to watch ESPN and eat a steak sandwich with Lee. I'll be horseradish 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 good fellas over at the Egyptian. They're playing Charlie Varick at the bar. No, I don't see that. 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 on the right night to grab me. There's things. It's like every... Like do you hunt there on a Tuesday night at 7.30 for five dollars in Hollywood before the economy's... 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 fuck am I to be sitting here at two o'clock in the afternoon? I'm missing payments. You know what I'm saying? You're right. You're right.

That's the attitude. I'm one of those two. But back to the Christmas movie thing. Christmas movies. The D-Hunt is another one to watch for D-Hunt. 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...

We did an episode on the Vietnam War. We did a bunch of different films. Isn't that the one where the guy goes, Mao? Mao and they do that. Diddy Mao. At least Mao 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 July, I'm watching The Deer Hunter. 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 to talk to him. And Walken doesn't say a word. He just sits there and he's so distant. You can see him slipping away. You can 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, because I want to go back to a certain scene and watch that again. And watch it. I was like, well, how the fuck did he do that? How did he get to that? That's what I'm saying.

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 in 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 live for. But that's what I do.

And I find everything. I pretty much find everything 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 and it's a set up Lee and it's the humor that I enjoy. He goes to visit and things to do when you're dead. He goes to visit that dude who beats up the bodies and he tells him when he asks him are

you still crazy? You know, if you're crazy, we don't want you on this job. And what they don't have that I hunted all afternoon was the second scene when they meet in the diner. He gets into the fight with Bill Nunn. They get into a fight at the fucking diner and went at the meeting and there's kids in there. Isn't there kids in there?

I think so. There's a kids party. I think I said to him, sorry, parents, sorry kids. And then they go outside. And now I just saw you beating up a body, 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 what did he get into a beef about? So he ate a piece of shit when he was in jail.

That's what the whole beef was about. Who ate the shit? I 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. All right. This is what he tells me. He's like, you got to 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 powder dri- Jimmy, it keeps my powder dri- Jimmy, it keeps 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. Not everybody's going to get it. You're beating up on a corpse and now you want to play one of the cops.

No, no way. But, and he works him. Listen, man, ever since the prison shrink put me on my little program, listen, I haven't hit a person in years. A live person. A live person in years. 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- it keeps my powder dry. And he sells it. This is a guy that I- I've met 20 of these guys in my life. But you after a while, you're like, you- you're in, you know what I'm saying, like, fuck it, you're 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. 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 in so long.

What the fuck? The guy from the Sopranos that played Tony Sopranos' cousin. From Pulp Fiction. Oh. From Pulp Fiction. Yeah, he's in Pulp Fiction too. He does something. He did all those fucking- who played Tony Sopranos' cousin?

Oh, Buscemi. Buscemi is the hit man. See, I forgot Buscemi's in it. Buscemi's in it. I haven't seen it in so long. Buscemi's in it. Buscemi. Tons of fucking people in this movie.

That 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 to all the streaming services.

Nobody's got that movie. If you couldn't find it on DVD, you're not going to find it on the rental. Yeah, it pisses me off. That is on the computer. They have the full movie on YouTube, but I tried watching it. No, no, no, no. Yeah, the quality's usually shitty and I can't get into it. It's like, ah, fuck that, 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 that online.

He knocks on this door. He lets them in. And he's talking to them. And he's asking them if he's hungry. Can I get you anything? Sit down. Yeah. He goes, sit down.

Right? And he goes, first he frisk them, sit down. And then all of a sudden he goes, how are you doing, Jimmy? He goes, listen, I'm just coming here to tell you, Bill, that they're going to kill you. You should leave. And he's telling them 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 Garcia, he's pissing. And he's like, I'm not going nowhere. He goes, I'm the head.

And remember, he's telling them 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-cracking. And he got what was coming to him, whatever.

And then he goes, fucking guy's spreading rumors. Like, by the way, he tells the story. He goes, fucking guy's spreading rumors. And he goes, what? What are you talking about? Ah, when we were in the joint, you know, Jimmy, you got to do what you got to do. The guy gave me this. 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. And he goes, it was kind of fluffy. And something, remember? He throws something in.

Then Jimmy leaves. But the next time they show Barnacle Bill, Buscemi comes in his house. And Buscemi sticks a knife in him, taking him to bed. But the lights pop on. And he goes, ah, I'm Japan. You, no, he goes, ah, I'm Godzilla. You are Japan. And he shoots, what's his name?

But as he goes to shoot him in the head, Buscemi shoots him with a, and then they both died together. It's not even, it doesn't even have a great ending. It's, it's a, just, it really doesn't. It's one of those. So maybe you don't want it. Yeah, no. Sometimes it's like, 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 pickpockets. But there's a movie, and I told Lee with Harry in your pocket. It's Michael Saracen, 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. What kind of thing? And you put bells all over them and you just practice. That's how you practice. Yeah. Bump it into them and shit. Pretty soon you get pretty good. I wasn't bad at a certain age.

I got a pickpocket. The bell wouldn't go off because you got to 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, they got to train somebody. You got to train them and then teach them to shut the fuck up. What's the thing?

Conman 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'd bring it up, but it's so fucking old and so...

I tried watching it a couple of years ago. I'm like, ooh. Yeah. It's a little bit, it just goes a long time. Every once in a while, something like that comes 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's The Friends of Eddie Coyle and we read it up and we were like war notes in one, Robert Mitchum in 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 were 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 to something guy and you're like, what the fuck is this? Right. What is this? The beauty about this is that 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 talked 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 with those.

Well, that's the thing. It's like, I like a movie in the language in which it's supposed to be said. 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, they would listen to all Vicente Fernandez, Pedro Infante, Jorge

Negrete. They would listen to those songs and that took me to a whole other level when I was watching the movie 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. What's with movies? I thought 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 with you that you'll watch 20 years from now. Oh. Boy, I was eating too many stars and I was like, Joey, this movie's got awful. I don't know what I was thinking. What the fuck was that, guys? But there's some movies that you put on and you still get kind of fucking impressed by little things like the acting you forgot about, even, you know, I'll watch, I'm a little stubborn and as you get older, 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 at any scene and I'm right there, so it doesn't really matter. So I'll watch something new, do you know what I mean? Like my TV hours are so precious now, I enjoy watching TV on a plane. If I could fly around the world for 24 hours, that would be, I would take meth tablets and

just sit there and sweat and watch movies with a towel and the fat guy from Narcos, Gordo, whatever his fucking name is and this is what I've discovered lately with Netflix, with the Spanish shows. Like Narcos, they shot some of them in Spanish, some of them in English, this show I'm watching now and I'm giving it a second run is a fucking great show. What is it? The Hota, the story of Bobbe, Pablo's Hitman, it's a Spanish production company. I've seen three of their shows and they've impressed me 150 percent.

The Spanish acting is tremendous, they take their jobs seriously, 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 selling your headshots to because they don't care, it's Colombian, they use Mexican Cubans. The head of the jail of the Colombian, the communist is Cuban, the head of the one guy you can tell he ain't Colombian, the chick is Argentinian, his girlfriend is Argentinian so if you're Spanish and you could speak it well, even if it's Mexican-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'd go to his house I'd make him play for me at this time, it was the 7th Samurai. You know and from that came the one with Bronson and all that. Magnificent 7 and all that but I really enjoyed that and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed that remembering till today because of him speaking Japanese and the subtitles. Till today, Chinese Connection on the other hand is one of my all time favorite Bruce, if you ask me what my favorite Bruce Lee movie, another holiday movie, I suggest, oh I suggest

the Chinese Collection, I suggest the Chinese Connection any time you got fucking two hours it always brightens up my day because it's my childhood. I love when they do all these Bruce Lee memorabilia shows and none of these people were alive. I saw the fucking Swyster, I remember being a kid and going to Miami with my mother and coming home on a Sunday night and getting home and the green horn is starting and I must have been five so it was 1968. 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 at the end, the fight scene at the end, 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, Fist of Fear was on last week for Thanksgiving that whole weekend, I watched it and it was good, the middle parts, I was getting up, moving around, I go check Twitter, you know what I'm saying, he was fucking around on Facebook and I come back, I knew, I had it kind of timed, you know, but no, I think Chinese Connection still, Enter the Dragons

a phenomenal movie, but to me it's not Chinese Connection. 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 them and I, I 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 never seen Star Wars and 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.

Predator, the first hour, we're fucking the dudes, the guns and the dude that looks like a, he looks, that creature, the Indian, or the creature, well the Indian, 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 looks like candlesticks or some shit, but that's who, you know, Predator I can't watch all the way through. There's a couple movies that once you start getting too sci-fi on me, I tip. Yeah, you can't, you can't.

That's it. That's my mind. And that's understandable, I mean. I like movies with heart, you know, so no, I'm not a Star Wars guy, I've never watched Indiana fucking Jones. I've never, no, I'm lying to you. I saw the one with the New Chucks, the first one, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was it.

I watched the first one and I love Harrison Ford. I love Harrison Ford. But I mean, it's like, you gotta like that type of movie and if you don't, what's the fucking point? And I'll tell people all the time, I was like, I'm not gonna go see that. Why would I wanna go see that? I'm not gonna go see that. It's not a movie that, again, put YouTube on again for a second, see it'll let you go

back on it. I wanna 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, and that's when they thought Anthony Lapoglio was gonna be huge. And I don't know what happened because he's good. We were just talking about the other day, I shot, I did a cold case, no, I did a, what's

the show he, no, no, I didn't, what am I talking about, I didn't analyze that with him, yeah. But it's like, I scroll down a little bit, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. Well, I'm right there, full movie, I wanna see how it looks compared to the other one, if we can find that. All right, pop it back, it's him, that's Denny Gallello, I mean, it was, it was, this is, well, this guy, that's who the movie, scroll up, full movie right there, see, because I watched it before and I had a time, that's not the full movie, scroll down more, more,

right there, see if they 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 up at the top, see, we'll fucking take a deal and enjoy bananas, go to the 103 mark, this, you know, this movie's about a lottery ticket, yeah, no volume, okay. All right, you don't want us to go with it, 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, pop, forget about it, I'm going by myself.

Come on, Frankie. What is it? We're putting too much pressure on you, am I right? I mean, you're afraid if you don't win, we're gonna be disappointed and you won't forget that shit, let's just go and enjoy ourselves, whatever happens, that's what's gonna happen. I'm going up to my room, I'm getting my ticket, I'm going by myself, let's get out of my way. What the hell's wrong with you?

I'm not a loser. You know what this means, Nuss? 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, win or lose, don't come back. When you set me example, I stand a good chance of losing. What the fuck did you say? You're a loser.

Are you calling me a loser? I'm not a loser. I'm not a loser. I'm not a loser. I'm not a loser. I'm not a loser. I'm not 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 and everything you had around, including your own fucking business. I'm not a loser. Alright, you're a winner. 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 and everything you had around, including your own fucking business. Now, you've stayed. That's what I did. 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.

You stay, uh, you fucking deal. You stay, that's what you're supposed to do. You buried your life in there and put up your shit my whole life. You squashed every dream that I ever had. Stop that if you 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.

So you think I gambled my business away? You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I loved my business. It was the only thing that I fucking owned. I didn't gamble it away. They took it away. That's your fucking big explanation. Same shit there.

You know what I'm saying? We were doing pretty damn good until you came along. You know, I didn't want you. Your mother did. And she nearly died having you. You sorry son of a bitch. And I borrowed the money to keep you and your mother alive. Fucking got you 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 trade, you ungrateful son of a bitch. I am not a loser. I'm not a loser. I'm not a loser. I'm not a loser.

I'm not a loser. And here'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 there.

It's the first New York Strait. And the guy's name is Frank Pesh. He plays his brother in it. It's a real story of him. Of his brother. 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. This ain't a cheap movie to make. This is a period piece. It's the 60s. Like the 70s maybe? It's like the 70s. It was made in the mid 90s.

Okay, turn that off. 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. I used to go to a video store in Boulder on 28th Street

by a rapper, a whole boulevard there. It was like the biggest fucking video store in like 10 states. And I became friends with them. And I would always go and get stand-up tapes. And one day the guy recommended this. And I was blown. Yeah, fuck away.

So 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 about it. For the monetary reasons. At the end, it's putting money on Britney Spears. It's a concert film. Or putting it on Lisa Yat's 40-year-old.

We've already seen him play a gangster at. Right. You know? So it's common sense business, you know? It was weird because they... 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... 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. And it's... Especially moving here and living here and doing movies and seeing... Yeah. 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. Mm-hmm. You know, for every CBS show and NBC show, there's three shows that you'll never hear of. Ever hear of. And you'll go, Joey, what was this?

And you'll go, that was a guy that had the show sold at CBS. And it's garbage. It's fluff on my resume. It doesn't even mean nothing to me. If it was up to me, I'd take it to 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. Triptych. Okay. Like the dogs who say Halloween and all those. Oh, yeah.

They 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. If we shot them a certain way, they were going to Disney TV and they ended up on one of those kids channels. ABC Family or something?

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 Nine-Nine. Partners was a show that got canceled. The mentalist is real. Leader of the pack. 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, Stonerville, the Sinatra Club, the Russian, Stacey's mom, the deported. You'll never see that. Felipe's in that with me. My life at 26 keeps growing.

I know you get recognized for your kids stuff too. Well, yeah, because there's a ton of kids, but keep scrolling. I mean, it doesn't end. Wizards of Waverly. 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. He had to bring me water to poor old bastard. He kept rubbing my back. Are you okay? Are you okay?

You know, you look at this 18 fingers of debt. This motherfucker got this on showtime. I got to 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 fleas. You know, but then again, you see taxi.

A mafia type. That's garbage. Mop back by midnight. That's Rodney Dangerfield. Spider-Man 2 Law and Order. Co-Case. ER. These are real.

You know, the Mezzos. 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. 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 that. Women versus men. One line with Chaz Parmentary.

You got nothing. It's probably one of the saddest stories that I did. And I'm happy nobody saw it. Because they fucking spent money. They re... Remember that was the re-mortgage era? Yeah. What year is that, Lee?

2002. 2002? No, 2001. And then that 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 make me residuals... It's 1973. There's no way, huh? There's no way. Are you a child actor? Are you an over? Yeah, I was fucking 10.

Unless I'm doing porn. Chupete means dick sucker. Little dick sucker Chupete. Whatever the fuck it is. That's the craziness of this business. So it's like, you think, you know, so many times it's... You're going to be working with this star, that star, and it's going to blow up. And it's like, you know, but you keep on going.

You got to keep on going because what else is there? No, listen, I grew up like you. And I love film. Yeah. I'm a stoner. 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 Mann. I know you enjoy Michael Mann. Love him. 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? My manhunter. Manhunter.

He was having a hard time and I was giggling because I enjoy manhunter. But the Michael Mann movie that I always enjoyed, my favorite, because it stole my soul. As soon as I saw that movie, I knew that's what I wanted to do. And that's the movie, Thief, with James Cahn, Willie Nelson, Belushi's brother. Tuesday Wells. Tuesday Wells. The old man, the old Russian guy named Robert Protsky. That fucking guy is scary.

Yeah, yeah. We had the scene there, but it doesn't, you know, it's, when I saw this movie, that was it. As soon as I saw this movie, I was like, this movie was on HBO and it was on HBO every night after the raging bolt. Yeah, I remember that. And before, this is, this is, this was winter. This is the mid 80s. No, it was on HBO.

I was a junior in high school. And at that time, there's days I would go. My mother was dead. So there's days I would go. There's days I wouldn't go. Most of the times I would, I would just go, I wouldn't go to home room, but I go to fucking the classes and bless you. Pardon me.

And I saw this movie by mistake. This movie won something big. Look at the con 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 it. Cause it was on HBO and it was after raging bull and I couldn't go to sleep. And I 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? Right there. But let me open the door for a second. So, but it's so crazy, man, cause you watch these movies and they, they do shape your life.

And like I was, like I was, when you, when we started talking about the movies that you wanted to talk about and what would, cause you told me the movies that mean something to you, the movies that, and I took that to mean the movies that, that, that, that shaped your life. And I, 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 to get down from there. Listen, man, that line I use fucking stay black. That's from do the right thing. 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. Yeah. And it's to live and die in LA. Oh, it's a great film. It's one of my fucking favorite films. When they chased, uh, uh, what's his name, uh, the fucking, the counterfeit it.

John Turturro. Oh, Turturro. Turturro is a counterfeit. 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 me, don't forget about me till this day. I used that one line. I loved 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 Nights on here for the other days. Every time, 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 Nights.

I don't think so, no. This is something that, 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 Bronson. They'd go, hey, go see the 7th Samurai. I'm like, what are you talking about? I'm gonna watch that. And one day I went over there and I was blown away.

I was blown away. I enjoyed Bruce Lee movies. I enjoyed Sonny Chiba movies. And I've seen that movie, 18 fucking years. That's the 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, and that's what's great about this town is that they will play it in a theater and I will go. I'm 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 to yourself, God, I would have loved to have written that. That's a fucking great joke. 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 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 and 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 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. Travolta.

Let me give him some shout out. Frankie Barker, you know, I love you down in Australia. Lauren Rosencurve. Brian O'Shea. Stephen King. Holly Hathaway hanging there. Jeff Massey. Rave Herving.

Albert Jimenez. And David Lilder. Now there was maybe, let's see. You know, you can go to the old Reliable's Casablanca if you haven't seen Bogart in a while. If you're just in the mood to just 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, back lit.

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.

Boogie Nights. I want you to watch Goodwill Hunting. And you know, I mean, these are just films that, listen guys, I got a thousand movies you go. I'm sitting here. I've sat here in a vastly to click 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 replenishment. Like you guys don't have this, this, this, this, this, this. I had that video 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. Yeah. That was 1985. Captain video. That's how much I love videos.

I love video stores. I loved it. And that 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. Oh God, I remember that.

1995 a night. This is, this is going back to, and people would come in and like, people, everybody rented 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? 82, 83, 80.

Yeah. Gotcha. Like it was, yeah, 82. Cause I remember selling a stealing one and selling the pop-up one, the VHS. The boom, boom, boom. Pop-up one like that. If you had one of those, you were cool. Yeah.

Once you started popping movies in, and there wasn't a wide selection at the beginning. No. It was what you got. But I still remember snorting up a storm watching Scarface. 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. It was crazy. No, no, a tape. I remember a tower. $59.95. Were they that?

When I went to the video store and asked me, I used to deal with one particular. That might have been retail or wholesale. But 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. Holy shit. We voted for the retailer for $49.59. Yeah. There were movies you got on bargain deals. So that's why video stores existed. In the beginning, they made it killing.

I mean, then blockbuster came in and raped it like everything else ruined it. But there were little guys. The guy I was working for, let me tell you something, I was stealing $200 a day. 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. He had no idea what was out.

So I would cut deals with people. Especially for porn. People come in and I told them 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 in, they wanted to see Tracy Lords and Snort Coke. And finally he listened to me.

I kept ordering them behind his back. Sure enough, fucking, I would rent out five and he would rent out five at 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. 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. At the end I just took everything. At the end I just cleaned them out one time. Jesus Christ, Joey. I think so. Something happened.

Are you sure the statute of limitations is open? What are you going to do? Seven years on something like that. What are you going to do? No, it wasn't no seven years ago. That's it? No, 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. Lapt overnight. 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. He always keeps the key. He always make a double. Make a double? Jesus Christ. Yeah, if you're stupid enough not to change the locks.

That ain't my fault. That's not my fault. That's not my fault. I got to get you for what you were. It was... 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 Boat. They had one in Snowmass Village and one in Aspen. I know you guys still have movies to think about, but that could be a cool question. I'm thinking about my Christmas break. We'd go to the video store and get my brother and I. We need to get one. You guys have this list. Is there one at the end that if you could only go to the video store and get one video?

Which one would it be? Oh wow, that's a fucking hard one. You can answer it at the end of the podcast. 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. 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 know, you're about to take home and give the high Cuban helmet. And you're going 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. Listen to me. She's hot, but she's got to see this movie.

You know what I'm saying? This is it. This is Richard Gereboy when he shows his ass. This is American Jigalov. American Jigalov. After she sees that, I drop the lights on her and I just fucking, you know, start swapping spit with her and let the pieces fall where they may. We're sold out, sir.

There was a time when movies were done. Oh, they were still selling at the movie, at my movie theater. Oh, they were? No, no, I'm movies. I'm movie theater. I'm talking movie or video. Video store, yeah. I'm talking video store where every fucking movie you're like, what the fuck are you talking

about? And you'd come back to, then there was a 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 by the thing all day, by the returns, 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 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 Silver kills it. Phil Silver kills it every time. Phil Silver's been killing it since Jesus left Chicago. Oh, God. Phil Silver kills it. I try to watch, you know, I watch Channel 20.

Yeah. So you have it? I think on my TV, it's Channel 2. You get Honeymooners on Sunday night, and you get Colombo. You get Jesus. You get tremendous shows on there. Why don't you just buy the DVD? Of what?

He doesn't do that. Of that movie. Of what movie? Whatever movie you're going to do. Oh, I got the DVD. I got the DVD of that. You just said you hope it's on. But there's something, 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. But it's not on with commercials. Sometimes it's on Sunday, and 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 without any time, and whatever I wanted was there if I had the cash. Yeah. A boat to Shanghai, a machine gun, 20 fucking black chicks who wanted snorkeling coke and some dick or just a pound of coke. When you have something that available to you, it's not good. With me, I worked at that video store, and I don't know, do 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. 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 jobs shelving 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 pain 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 Christ. You know, and then I started borrowing money from him to buy coke. That's why at the end, I couldn't work from November, because I was borrowing money from him, and then I would give him money when I come back. I would borrow 5,000 for 6,500, but then he would go, don't give me the 15, I'll just give me 1500 and coke, like he was getting a fee. But that sounds like 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, but again, I'm on my feet. I'm answering phones. Who's not coming in asking me creepy questions about a movie? What do I know about it? If I could order 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 fuck, why can't you go? So for four weeks, I didn't have a job. I didn't have to leave the house, leave for like six or five or six weeks. And the only thing, I had a puppy. I had a German shepherd puppy. He got me a puppy named Hercules. So all I had to do was go outside and throw snow for him and play with him.

And I would go upstairs and make banana, little ice cream or banana milkshakes, and I would sit there and watch every Charles Bronson movie. Like I watched everything all over again from velace, dirty dozen, like all those movies you asked me. When was the last time you saw? There were six weeks there. That's what I did. I mean, all day, get up at nine, go downstairs, walk the dog, make a few calls, and at ten

o'clock go upstairs and put fucking movies until two, then eat a big lunch, then watch more movies to six, 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 reefer 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. Yeah, it is. And that's what I would do.

So as soon as the 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 there was, for six years, I didn't really have a TV. I didn't really watch TV until like 86. It sounds like my dream job. Yeah.

They don't like that high school. That's why I hate that shit because I know the stagnant feeling that you feel. Yeah. But I was 21. I was in shape. You know what I'm saying? I wasn't, but I was just living on a 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 container of vanilla ice cream. I would leave every three days just to go get fucking bananas. Jesus Christ. That's it. Just go get bananas. You know, you don't want to eat very food?

And everything in the town was closed. Yeah. So except the supermarket. So I don't have to go to the supermarket and cook my own meals. So 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. In Colorado, when there's a two foot blizzard or three foot blizzard and 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. We had a week in January. It's too close.

There's two weeks. The 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 would go to daycare. That meant I could watch movies. Oh my God, in peace without a woman asking you questions. Because once you get married, you forget the question element during the movie.

So you also lose that element. Once you got 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. Do we just have a deep, deep feeling of memory like a flashback? Oh, she used to ask me the worst questions when I was deep in the 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 question, she's not going to shut out.

Yeah, you don't like it. And I can't hang. You don't like it. I want to watch my fucking movie. You're a professional. Yeah, I was like here. Here's a fucking no pen. Here's a pen.

Write down your questions for at the end of the movie. We can talk about it. I figured it out. I figured it out. Drive-in movie theaters. Drive-in movie theaters are great. They still have them. 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. No.

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 of times I had to cut them off because forget about it. It's like an NYU course. They'll tell you the day the guy shot the thing that was 62 degrees and the film doesn't

take any two 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? Well, I don't really know shit. You know, that's when, 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 got mad at us. 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 outlaw Josie Wales, deadwish, man on fire, being there is highly recommended. Highly recommended.

Cuckoo'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 recommended.

This is a movie that I'm going to highly recommend to you. This is definitely a Rick Ramos film. I haven't seen it. And last week, did you watch 60 Minutes? I didn't see it. It was about Donald Sutherland. Oh. 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 his, the best one, Carol O'Connor and fucking Donald Sutherland. So that's 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 is maybe something new. Maybe there's something that you like. Yeah. What's up, dude? The one I feel like may be missing from your list is comedy. I feel like, I don't know, sometimes during Christmas, when I used to work full time,

I wanted to just relax until like I was thinking about like The Jerk, another Steve Martin great. Brilliant film, The Jerk. Well, I like, what is it, Blazing Saddles, like just something like those stupid ones I can just turn on and tune out. What I dig about you is you're very open, like you know, you watch Cheers, you got involved in some shows, and you saw the beauty of the 70s and the 80s type of film TV. If you see that show, Cheers, besides it being a great show, look how many stars came

off in that show. You got to find the casting director and suck that dick to you and juju juice. That's another one of those things is 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. DeVito, Christopher Lloyd, Judd Hirsch, Andy Kaufman, Mary Lou Hennig, 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' 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, I don't, do you remember life? That was, that was, I mean, he really knocked it out of the park with, 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 was, it would throw people off completely off about me.

Why? What do you mean? Because there's not a lot of comedies that 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, the Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. Still crazy. Still 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 was going, what the fuck are these people laughing about? This corny ass fucking shit, corny ass shit. Like what? One example of that that you just, no, you're talking about way back, you're talking about the Marx Brothers, you're talking about the Stooges, cause I thought those guys were phenomenal. I was never a fan of Silent Night 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, I was not into this realm, this genre, I just wasn't into it. And then the Breakfast Club is kind of, I like comedies, but I want it to have a heart. I don't like, I'm not, I'm not all the way, I can't fucking do that, even as a kid I couldn't do that. Why?

I don't, I don't know. Except for maybe. Actually with the weed. Even Peter, like even Cheech and Chong, because I enjoyed them 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, 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 Chong 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, where it's like, where's that moment that you want to, that you're really pushing for this guy? There was, you know, when I came, I thought I really sat there and I thought about comedies, and I, the guy who struck out the most was, the guy who struck out the most was Trains, Plains and Automobiles, which is my true lesson into comedy acting.

And then, you know, I thought about Splash, I thought about, I thought about, you know, I thought about a lot of movies that I didn't think people would really, because I look at the performances, I think, and Splash, John Candle, he was fucking up there. Like he just headed out of the park from talking the guard into the porno, you know, to just everything. You know, there's just certain films that just grabbed me that we've discussed before on this podcast. So that's another reason, but no, that's a, I'm more Christmas filmed out for tonight.

You covered a lot of space, though. No, this is good. This is good to get out there. I want to, you know, listen, I don't know if this is even your genre of film. We're just talking to you from the heart here. You know, I also had Goodwill Hunting out here. Goodwill Hunting is a weird movie because so many people hate on it now. Why?

Because they don't like it. Every woman in that movie had a certain dick to be in it. There's that. That's a Harvey Weinstein production. Everybody in that movie had weird breath. Oh, let me show you. Let's, let's wrap this fucking up and let's go do something. Maybe the taco stand is still open today.

That's how it's going to fucking send Icky Ricky down there. Why not? Icky Ricky Ramos.
