Good afternoon welcome to cage t.x. 93 point one k.g. Exadata f.m. My name is Sam Gibson welcome to hot sweet hot for the next 2 hours I will be Hendrix his guide to film music culture fandom and a galaxy far far away I hope everyone's had a great week last week was our 1st episode of the season and I'm so happy to be back. You know that 1st episode was a lot of fun to plan it was a lot of fun to do but it was even more fun to learn what I'm going to do with this format going forward and it's going to be amazing and I've had a lot of ideas from the get into the later parts of this month November December I've had a lot of really great ideas. I'll unveil them as they come into effect but right now that's not the case we're just going to start off with a song because Philip we all need that right now to feel like it's going to be a pretty long week So 1st we're going to start off with a device Roy by Mack Demarco I hope you all enjoy it. always I'm always optimistic for what he's going to do next definitely my favorite stuff by him is your old dog and another one even though another one he sold it as like a mini album not a full album not me p. Just a mini album which is a bit weird but another one and this old dog fan asked Dick and he was let's get into talking about some stuff because I've had some stuff I want to talk about for a week now and honestly I started this radio shows that I could talk about the stuff my friends wouldn't really put up with so. Let's get into it this past week marked the release of Mario Kart to whore be mobile game version of intended famed highest selling racing series Mario Kart it's kind of obvious. On the surface it just kind of seems like you know you control awkward Lee You can either turn all the time or you can either drift all the time there's no in-between It's really weird but here is a big but. It is a paid a win absolute nightmare to play this game so basically to progress in the game you need stars to get stars you have to earn points in the races and earning points and raises you get more for if like you win 1st 2nd or 3rd place but it you don't that doesn't mean you win technically what influence is the amount of points you get and also the amount of items you get in the race is your character your cart and the glider you select and all of those influence how many points you get how many points you can get from combos how many points you can get from taking people down how many points you can get from doing drifts and. Yep. The big thing is how do you get the characters carts and items to succeed on specific tracks well you have to buy them you either get them with a premium currency or you just buy them outright or you just buy the currency and then you get a random one which has been a big topic of controversy in video games recently and 2017 with the release of Star Wars Battlefront 2 it's Lou box system it's surprises were kind of. So some friends espoused by virtue of. Its surprise mechanics as Electronic Arts would like to call them were very unfair basically it was a very random chance with the you got the best stuff or we got the worst stuff out of the loop boxes and you had to pay for all of them individually I think you got one free a day. But if you really wanted the good stuff you had to buy a really good loot box and then that's not even a guarantee if you're going to get good stuff it's very much a scam that's what it is it is a pedo in Mare and actually Disney were threatening to pull the Star Wars license after this whole controversy it was huge and the game was completely retooled because of it which good I have played quite a bit of it post them taking out the micro transactions and it's actually quite great with this will happen from our your current tour I don't know previous than 10 no mobile games like Animal Crossing pocket camp and fire on them heroes and regalia lost and Super Mario run all of these and even pokémon masters even though Nintendo doesn't own pogey Maan that's a whole other thing but. All of these mobile games are not as bad as this fireman heroes I think is the closest they've gotten to this gotcha that's the name of this kind of pay to when you get things at random that totally affect how you perform in the game gotcha that's what it's called it's a Japanese term but you know you can also double that as a gotcha got your money none of those games were as riddled with pay to win mechanics as Mario Kart tour is and it's very weird it is just weird I hope they take them out honestly the gameplay isn't really good enough for me to play it if they actually took this out but. Just for the ethics of it in my opinion. We shouldn't be shouldn't be doing this honestly it's not really. I think we've gotten past this but also this game's going to make so much money mobile games in micro transaction games makes so much money even like the m.b. Kate n.b.a. 2 k series with which also it's published by take 2 you pay $60.00 for the game and then they advertise things to you in game and then you can pay money for packs of players for your my team so. You know there's always going to be horrible break business practices but it's definitely on us to make sure that that doesn't happen we can't just oh this is a giant corporation whose only exists whose only purpose in existing is to make tons of money will totally treat me a consumer Well it's not going to happen anyways I like to play some great to my friends who got me in the group to throw out to Kate Phillips and Emily Pat Pat Emily Pickering sorry I just woke up it's violent by a great tooth hope you guys enjoy it. That was violent by grape too I hope you'll enjoy this is hot sweet Hoth with Sam Gibson caged the extended 3 point one Also k h d x dot f. And we have a bit of housekeeping to do 1st I'd like to give a shout out to my mom and my dad listening It also like to give a shout to my Aunt Kathy I love you it's been a while since I've seen you but I'm very happy to listen hopefully I see you soon. There's no housekeeping. I'd like to talk about a bit about. Just if you're familiar with the games you're most likely familiar with the game Doom this was its 25th anniversary this year and so they released new versions of the very 1st games in the series on new console's I'm not going to stay on this for too long so just stay with me here basically for a product in 2019 that you are charging money for. It will crash on start up a 25 year old game or crash on start up I haven't really played that much I don't have these ports I only have a bit of experience but just reading this they will crash on startup at launch about a month ago if you didn't have a Bethesda net account it would basically just boot you from the game and although these ports are $5.00 a week no one should be paying for that basically so. Don't trust corporations honestly I saw a film recently and like to talk about it a bit Hello shot to Leighton welcome past the booth. I'd like to talk about a movie a song recently that very much touched me and I've read reviews of it and those that aren't so positive as my own review would be. I got a lingering because this movie I feel is something incredibly special this is Ad Astra the new Brad Pitt film directed by James Gray James Gray also directed $2700.00 the lost city of z. I have not seen but apparently it explores very similar. Subject matter to this and also very it's also is a very similar adventure structure which is really cool so basically at Astra. Brad Pitt is an astronaut is when the most celebrated astronauts his he is famed because his heart rate can't go above 80 he just doesn't have the emotion there but the film is exploring that lack of emotion Why is that so few days after so few days after in a workplace incident there is a bring him in and say this mission your dad went on and he was last on we think he may still be alive and we need your help to go find him and I won't spoil anything else just in case anyone out there wants to see it but it is absolutely gorgeous movie shot by the great Hoyt vent hood who shot interstellar and done Kirk 2 of the most beautiful movies of this decade and I genuinely feel like Ad Astra joins them else I feel like Astra Joel in the science fiction ranks of this decade films like arrival and Blade Runner 2049 and the emotions Ville very similar to something like 1st man and a lot of times which isn't necessarily science fiction but it's this emotionless man who's just being caught up in his work to hide something in himself it's very poetic it's very nice I really love it. Also Brad Pitt is your Brad Pitts just serving up really great performances I didn't I did not love once upon a time in Hollywood but I can understand where the love for that film came from and Brad Pitt was exceptional in that film I was reading a review I think of the New York Times of once upon time in Hollywood and they said Brad Pitt is a character actor and a movie star's body and that's incredibly true his work on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and his work on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and his work on Ad Astra have reminded us all of that go see Ad Astra beautiful emotional spectacular Some people call it boring I wouldn't say it's very much a kind of space adventure but it's a personal story 1st if you aren't invested in that personal story you're probably not going to like it but I loved it you know so we're going to place more off the play list I think we're going to go with oh well Ok by Elliott Smith xo rest in peace Elliott Smith Every day I hope you guys enjoy this little one. Just things. With. This. Story. It's such That was well Ok but leave Smith up you guys enjoyed that one I had George Elliott Smith Oh my gosh oh my gosh that's. Sorry about that let's go on to our game plan so we're going to have a long conversation about the Oscars because I love talking about the Oscars even though they mean absolutely nothing I love them they're kind of the celebration of Golden Age Hollywood the glamour of it the greatness of it you know it's way more fun at the Oscars when there's either really interesting movies nominated or when there's these huge epics brawling films that's when it's most fun that's why Titanic won it's this sprawling movie I don't love Titanic but it is this just huge story Lord Of The Rings you could totally put Star Wars in there because it was nominated for Best Picture 978. We're going to talk about a few movies that have kind of caught my eye we and I'm going to play the trailer for 2 of them so this weekend is the release of Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix and directed and written by Todd Phillips also Bradley Cooper is a producer on this and Martin Scorsese was almost a producer on this. I don't know so this film has been the subject of quite a bit of controversy. We there it's manufactured Are we there it's real I could not tell you but this I will say there is. There is worry I do believe it's valid to worry about a 5th in a time where so often there are people who feel cast out by society who go on violent rampages and murders per use and that happens weekly if not day Lee Maybe we should be worried about how a film about a man who feels feels cast out by society and then goes on a murderous rampage maybe we should worry about how that film portrays its object now no one has seen this movie except film critics and a lot of filmmakers at the Venice Film Festival where it won Best Film I say that I think that's a big thing because it is a big thing. Not only is it the 1st comic book adaptation specifically. You know superhero comic book because the film perceptively was a graphic novel adaptation and it played it can I think a history of violence by David Cronenberg played at a film festival when it was released and that was also. Based on a comic book but this is the 1st you know when we think comic books we think super villains and super heroes this is the 1st superhero comic focused film to not only play at a film festival but also win award and the for 1st one it won Best Film which is rigged to kill is when I when I heard this news I kind of couldn't believe it I was excited about the movie Don't get me wrong but the fact that this is really like. This isn't a claim to movie it blew me away in there are movies like Avengers and game which I had to or which are critically acclaimed and there's a lot of those Marvel movies get a lot of really great reviews and it's and shows them got really great reviews and you know I wouldn't hesitate to say birds of prey in February will get great reviews but when a film like Joker gets 5 stars and the best movie of the year a crowning achievement a film in the 2010 so that's what it's really getting and I'll play the trailer for you guys. So. I think that news. This is the last time we'll be meeting. You know this and here. It is the same questions. Are you having negative thoughts. On why. When I was a little boy and. Everyone. Know. That . There's a good bit of the trailer for Joker. Coming out this weekend walking in Phoenix as he beats Robert didn't Nero Mark Moran Mark Marin as in this movie. It looks like the film was taking a lot of inspiration from the Killing Joke with the failed comedian who goes into a life of crime but it doesn't feel like he's going to be a scapegoat for something which makes him fall into a toxic waste more like i'm going insane I'm going to I'm going to become the Joker . Which taking a character like The Joker which especially in film has this pedigrees are being played by some of the great actors. It's really crazy I mean Caesar marrow which of your call Caesar Meryl one of the greatest actors of all time but I love Caesar Mero couldn't even be bothered to shave his moustache for that are all . He is like a great joker and then in 1809 Jack Nicholson throughout the eighty's in the ninety's you had Mark Hamill Luke Skywalker himself providing the voice for the joker on Batman The Animated Series and he also continues to do that role for tons of stuff in the Arkham games which he served which served as his kind of goodbye to the role and then he came back and he still kind of doing it it's weird but he's great at it and then he obviously Heath Ledger Rest in Peace want an Oscar for his portrayal of the Joker in The Dark Knight he. Died he is the 2nd actor to ever win an Oscar posthumously and a lot of times I think about if Heath Ledger would have won that Oscar if he was still alive but it's the fact that everyone agreed this performance is something incredibly special that kind of keeps me from really dwelling on that and of course now you have walking Phoenix who is has been nominated for an Oscar 3 times for Gladiator Walk the Line and the master walking Phoenix one of the most intense and one of the most. A claimed actors of his generation of the past 2 generations he isn't he is a beast specifically for the role of joker in this film he said he lost so much weight that it started to affect the way he felt his body that is an exact quote he said he could feel the fluids rooting around inside him and that it was very unhealthy for him which I I mean as an actor I would love to just go full method or one of these days and just I have to be paid for it and have to be I'm only doing this at the moment I'm only doing this show or this movie or this musical I would love to go full method but you know I can't do sky I can't do half my day in computer science and then and then come home and just be this other person that's ridiculous but Joaquin Phoenix there's a lot of Oscar talk around his. Around his portrayal of this character of course when we're talking about the joker in this context a person actor has previously won an Oscar for playing the Joker so there is precedent here I do think it's likely that he will get a nomination with or it's likely that he wins is a whole other ballgame and one we come back we'll talk about some of his competition in the actor's category this is going to be untitled 6 by Kendrick Lamar hope you'll enjoy it. These men are 6 of the natural forces now and they want to. Eat. The. Meat of. The book. Was that he. Made. Me. Promise only I was different the moment I was. No one should regulate them. It. Was on titled 6 for Kendrick Lamar That's probably my favorite song off of who outtakes e.p. Thing untitled on mastered really fantastic song so we're going to talk about another Oscar contender. So basically on one side you have walk in Phoenix as Joker. Being really hyped for the Oscars this year and there's another actor how thing. Please go as far away from masterful actor who has done almost nothing but a claim to movies as possible you have Adam Sandler Adam Sandler in uncut gems directed but were to Britain and directed by the safety brothers the they are the. Very much acclaimed filmmakers behind Heaven knows what which is one of the most realistic and disturbing portrayals of drug addiction ever captured in on film and then good time which is anxiety the movie uncut gems I know a lot of you probably haven't heard of this but this is kind of sand there's returned to dramatic roles which I am so happy about I love when he really trusts a director to direct him because there are some directors like Judd Apatow how when he used them in Funny People and then of course Paul Thomas Anderson when he used them and Punch Drunk Love Punch Drunk Love one of the most iconic movies of the 2 thousands but also Sam this performance just honestly masterful. And a commentary on that character that Sandler usually plays in his movies and a deepening of that character and it's the fact that he hasn't done more of that absolutely just. It's ridiculous I mean Jim Carrey after his kind of comedic heyday he's done a lot of really great movies and a lot of dramatic films the bad batch Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind is the big one and then the limited series and I don't think it's a limited series anymore I think the order season 2 of it but kidding on Showtime which I have watched and it's amazing where he plays a Mr Rogers type figure who's kind of losing it and it's really really really great but uncut gems is about and I'm saying they're playing how we are Howard who is a jewelry salesman in New York's diamond district and the film also stars a dino Menzel who is famous for being in frozen playing elso and frozen also playing. In wicked. Amazing actress like Keith Stanfield who you might know from get out or sorry to bother you or even this year's knives out directed by running Johnson. Kevin n.b.a. Superstar Kevin Garnett is in this movie couldn't tell you why but and also there is a cameo by the weekend the artist I'll play a bit of the trailer here for you. Know you. Were doing. Crazy. About the payoff. Want to stop. So I couldn't play a lot of it because a lot of curse. And I didn't really want to I didn't really want to go through the trouble of having sensory time but there there's just you hear on Sandler you get the movie he's making bets he's not a great person that's the movie. I have spoken to a few people who have seen it at a few film festivals recently and apparently it is just as anxiety inducing as good time but it's also just ridiculous and the kind of comedy it goes for is completely different than Sandler's usual brand which I'm very happy about I'm very happy about uncut gems Joaquin Phoenix versus out of Sandler's the Oscar race no one knew we wanted so it's going to be great but another person in the Oscar race is Robert De Niro not for joker but for the Irishman the brand new Martin Scorsese film also starring Al Pacino and Joe Pesci. It has just been screened and it is unsurprisingly for a Scorsese film getting glowing perfect reviews the film is over 3 hours long it is a crime epic I'm so excited to see it is a netflix movie but I very much hope that I can that it comes to a theater here in Arkansas and I can see it the way it was meant to be seen you know what I'm saying. Martin Scorsese The Irishman I have no idea when that's coming out but it probably will be soon we're going to play only son of the ladies' man by Father John Misty I hope you'll enjoy it. Close to. The soul and stuff stuff. Some. Gold The Sun sand strip. The legacy lewdly. Forgot to turn on the mike 1st. So that was only son of the ladies man by Father John Misty when I was in London I listened to that song a lot like a lot I would just put it on repeat and walk through the streets of London you know Father John Misty kind of cures man's idees. So maybe that's it maybe that's it we so we were talking about Joker and about it being kind of controversial so I'd like to read a few quotes from some film critics who've seen the film and what they think what's going on here Todd McCarthy The 1st thing that struck me while watching Joker is that it indeed feels like it's set in the real world not one populated by cartoon figures it's gritty and strongly evocative of New York City during a down and dirty period up to my eyes by the 8th Avenue horn blocks and overbearing graffiti in Times Square bearing no visual or tonal kinship to the Batman films of Tim Burton or Christopher Nolan in this film Joker lights a fuse that inspires massive mayhem meant to look entirely credible which is why it's inspired concerned commentary about potential copycat behavior we either will or not is another matter fringy slasher borderline slash ticking time bomb people are always out there and probably have active imaginations that go way beyond what sometimes pops up in movies but I'd be dishonest in saying that thoughts of unstable highly impressionable types with nothing better to do than be inspired by fantasies of our Q me are Anarky didn't cross my mind while watching the film. That is kind of important it's we I think it's interesting that they didn't say the Batman films of Joel Schumacher. The director of Batman Forever and Batman or Robin which a lot of people just kind of like for to forget but I get it so. There you go Lesley felt felt her in Phoenix is so mesmerizing that it's almost impossible not to be impressed with the movie just as a work of choreography and immersive character building but over the long haul I felt more resistant and not only to the violence there's something a bit cynical and shallow about the films co-opting of the progressive anti one percent sentiment that beats so strong days it reminded me in that way of v. For Vendetta film I also dislike even if I in theory should have been sympathetic to it supposedly leftist politics David's comparison with Fight Club is apt to remember the debates around that film quite vividly one of the loudest voices against it was that of the late Alexander Walker film critic for The Evening Standard who denounced the film as fascist and made the usual fuss that it will inspire violence. I thought a lot about how this film will compare to fight club in the fact that it's maybe portraying this very unstable type of thing but not indorsing it and something like Fight Club shows the Oehler of it but it also shows the absolute pits of it. And I do think it's important to understand that you can't there's some people who don't see the bad in this mass violence the bad in this fascism that is happening and understanding that all of us can be turned by it that is very important to understand whether the film with the Joker sympathizes with that is a totally different story more from Felt or And now interestingly the critiques of Joker seem to be coming from reviewers who are left who are left leaning David I agree there's something fishy about what's in sensually a currently motives conservative talking point of entertainment inspiring copycat violence but we can't just blithely dismiss the fact that representation does shape our consciousness and the way some kinds of violence are shown can make a crucial difference because our point of empathy in the film is Phoenix's troubled Arthur Joker basically dodges the question of whether we're supposed to read his acts of violence as a redemptive or a bore and I'm not sure of the film is obligated to choose one of one or the other position and I don't think Philip's Phoenix in the creative team really care they're mostly just high on their own talent here but they do leave themselves open to such charges of your responsibility that's interesting that's very very interesting usually the talking point that oh a kid is going to see this movie it'll he'll be violent a kid is going to play a video game he'll be violent that is usually like that here it's usually a pretty conservative talking point but the fact that so many people on the left are. Seemingly on the left are using that point is interesting I do think just completely ignoring the. The idea that the media that we consume the way we consume it and the way the media that we consume portrays things the idea that none of that influences us is complete hogwash but it's also completely it's also just dumb to say that I'm going to watch Joker and then I'm going to go kill people that's not really how it works. I saw a mother I'm not out here killing babies you know what I'm saying I don't know if anyone listening to this right now mom and dad I know you probably didn't see mother but yeah. There is definitely somewhere in between but the thing is. What kind of role in parts leaving the movie theater we have to we have there is this glue. Which is kind of referred to as phenomena over consciousness or watching a movie I'm really paying attention to the phenomena that's happening and we're not really conscious Roland Barthes wrote about this in a way where it was almost like a mind control and when you were just in the movie the ideas that the movie is portraying can get to you they really really can when I saw Schindler's List in theaters for the 20th anniversary last year No I think his 25th anniversary last year my mistake. That movie stayed in my mind for like 3 weeks and every day I was just kind of thinking about it because a really great movie will do that but also like Roland Barthes said we need to kind of watch movies with 2 consciousnesses at the same time one you know appreciating the phenomena and being completely lost in this world but also being. Conscious of the messages that are being spread being conscious of what is happening how it's happening how it's being portrayed as yeah someone just called Rooney. Has a quote here on Hollywood Reporter Rooney I have a problem with calling movies like Joker irresponsible sure it's productive to portray empathetically the evolution of a disenfranchised misfit into a homicidal maniac whose crimes strike a chord with his citizenry embittered with by the whining divide between the haves and have nots the fact that it takes place in a recognizable early eighty's in New York and not in the stylized fantasy world of Gotham City gives it even more menacing edge but treating joker like some reckless imitation to vigilantism strikes me as you suggest as a moralistic variation on that same old sensuous rhetoric we've been hearing for years from the n.r.a. And Republicans terrified of pissing off one of their biggest donors violent movies and video games are not the cause of the nauseatingly of mass shootings invent random gun deaths in this country because guns again this is not this is not my opinion this is not my opinion I am reading a quote now my opinion and this doesn't reflect hundreds college just figured I had to say that art doesn't create the culture it reflects it every advanced nation the world sees the same movies and plays the same video games but none has America's staggering gun violence is to fix. Of course I'm sympathetic to family members of victims of mass shootings like the road tragedy during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises in 2012 but I can't disagree with what Phoenix said in a recent interview that it's not the filmmakers responsibility to teach an audience the difference between right and wrong if that kind of self-censorship starts being implemented regarding the kind of content and character representation that's fit to be included in popular entertainment doesn't that put all villains off limits for fear of some nut job emulating their charges x. No more Hannibal Lector or Nurse Ratchet or Dr Evil no more Norman Bates that is a good point that is a very good point. That that's kind of the other part we have here it's not a filmmaker's job to treat to teach you what's right or wrong it's an artist's job to say yeah mass shootings maybe aren't cool it's really not him even as an artist it's not my responsibility to teach with the right and wrong it is you can definitely say that it is a filmmakers responsibility to reveal new facets of right and wrong and reveal new facets of every day ideas but it is not their responsibility to teach to teach people and that's a good that's a great point and I genuinely feel like that that's the other side to this another article Hollywood Reporter Joker New York City Police to deploy additional officers at theaters opening weekend apparently there were people on the message board for Chan and other various online message boards saying that they were going to commit acts of mass violence at screenings of joker this weekend and there was a tweet by a Twitter using j. Nicholson who I absolutely love said I can't wait to see Joker 2 weeks 2 and a half weeks later I was on a matinee at noon at a really bad theater just to feel safe watching this movie which is kind of. I'll read some more quotes but I think as we've noted here that the issue is the film's particular approach has to reflect as their character's ations were Jack Nicholson ne Ledger's Joker has inspired such widespread concerns despite the common origin of these are ter potations Phoenix's Joker is of another breed altogether far more realistic incredible one in being so clearly a product of a miserable life that's undoubtedly why this joker stirring such nervousness and fears he's an all too believe bullhead case it's the combined real ism of his characterization and the grungy New York setting that is giving people pause and making them believe that this joker could pose a plausible threat were previous ones have not because they were still cartoon like that's very important Jack Nicholson's Joker was portrayed as oh he's a gangster film to a valid toxic waste now he's kind of crazy and then Heath Ledger he gave 3 versions of his origin but he never. He never did anything we didn't really know what his origin was and we didn't know the full context with this joker we know the origin we know he is a man who feels like society has left him behind who wants to commit mass violence and maybe that is in the vein of kind of anti one percent. Things and I mean even if as someone who agrees with anti one percent and agree and agrees and kind of like in that that sort of stuff it's not worth the violence it's at some point it may be worth violence at some point if class conflict comes to that again my views do not reflect Hendrix College or cage dxed But right now it wouldn't thats it. Here's something interesting which is another quote from Hollywood Reporter but is more about the kind of scope of what a superhero movie is a comic book film here is I'm with you in having pretty much lost all interest in comic book movies a sub John or a bloated by oversaturation into an inescapable cultural monolith even when there's a strong case to be made for individual films like Black Panther or Wonder Woman for the representation of race and gender demographics too long shot out of the superhero excellence they're still cogs in the same bombastic industrial machinery I praye appreciated this movie simply for giving me something human scale in a comic book treatment sure it's social commentary might not run deep but at least excites it's psychologically rooted in some semblance of our messed up reality rather than in disposable escapism is a part of me that wonders of all this backlash that was going to have a similar effect to last year's attacks on 1st man that was another from the plague Well it's Venice premier but was followed almost instantly by a chorus of sanctimonious outrage mostly from people who hadn't seen the film making the ludicrous came claim that it was unpatriotic the director Damian Jazelle made the thoughtful and perhaps come commercially audacious choice to tone down the raw raw heroics in favor of fine grained pope portrait of Neil Armstrong as a profoundly introspective and humble every man the unfounded hostility to that film basically killed its release and then shafted the chances of the movie and Ryan Gosling's contemplated performance in the awards races I hope the same thing doesn't happen to Phoenix we'll soon find out that is a great point 1st man when it came out that the film wouldn't preacher a Neil Armstrong putting the flag on the moon. For some reason that was a big thing and as someone who has seen you saw the movie twice in theaters and I absolutely adore it. There is no reason for that backlash the film is not about America's race to them moon it's not about that it's not about the space race it uses the space race as a backdrop sure kind of in the same way that I'm going to talk about Star Wars Herzog and the Empire strikes but the Empire Strikes Back uses the rebel Empire conflict as a backdrop for character development it is not about the rebels and the empire although a new hope and turn the current of our But. You know empire is not about that 1st man is not about the space race it's not about America won it it is a portrait of extreme grief and emotional isolation. And what we do to escape from that and grow from it that's what that movie is about and in the fact that and a lot of kind of Fox News types made it out that this film was unpatriotic in hated America it's very unfair to honestly just ban Hassidic film which sucks it honestly sucks so this is usually the time where I switch over to the 2nd hour of Hoth sweetheart and I talk about Star Wars from an hour and I think I'm going to do it but I'm going to play a few songs and I'm going to let it can transition I'll talk about some more Oscar stuff you know just to just to make sure that nothing bad is going on we're going to play Friday I'm in love by Phoebe Bridger's this is hot sweet Hof case d x 93 point one or kitschy x. Dot f.m. Hope you guys are enjoying yourselves. Mr. Day to. You. You can phone. Wednesday and break. It doesn't even start it's for. Snyder.
