00:00Hi, everybody. Welcome to another episode of On Cinema at the Cinema. I'm your host,
00:15New Heidecker, and we are here at the VFA, sorry, the ESA campus of the High Network,
00:22which I've got some big news about that later in the show that we're going to be talking about.
00:25And we are here to talk movies, a lot of movies. We are now in the Halloween fever.
00:33Everyone's got Halloween fever, so we will be getting into some scary movies today.
00:36But not a new Halloween movie, curiously.
00:39And I'm going to introduce you before we jump in on commentary and start blathering on.
00:45We are joined by Greg Turkington here from the EFA.
00:49Thank you. I'm glad to be here.
00:51It's always nice to share expertise with true blue movie buffs, and that's who our viewers are.
00:56And I'm reminded of that as I get these letters and emails and cards and things from people who are asking for more movie content.
01:03And so we will be providing that on this episode.
01:06Ugh. I've been like these weird muscle spasms running up my neck and shoulders the past couple days.
01:15Okay. Today we're going to actually be reviewing two movies.
01:22We are going to be talking about Halloween movies and everything, but a little order of business with you I need to discuss
01:30is because my dad has been going through, we've been going through his estate, making sure everything is up to date on his estate.
01:41And he seems to be fairly adamant about some property of his that is in your possession right now.
01:52Some of the movie memorabilia, the props from the Pep Boys movie that we made, and since he's the legal owner of that property, he wants all that stuff back.
02:02He wants to get everything together, and I'm assisting him in that right now.
02:06Well, he doesn't own those props, because those props were purchased for a specific purpose, which was to be used in the Pep Boys movie.
02:15I was the prop master, so I was given the job of procuring props for the movie, which I did.
02:21I completed the job. The props were seen in the movie.
02:25And generally, after a movie shoot, said props would be discarded or liquidated or given to the crew as souvenirs,
02:35which is how those fell into the hands of collectors anyway.
02:39Like the broom from Mrs. Doubtfire obviously not ended up in the hands of...
02:45Can I just ask you as a, I don't want to say friend, because that's not how you're acting, and I don't see you that way,
02:51but as somebody I work with and somebody who works for me, would you do the courtesy of providing this,
02:58whatever it is, this crap from that movie that you bought, give it back to him, because he owns it,
03:04and then when the time comes, okay, I guarantee you get that crap back. It's that simple.
03:11Well, it's not crap.
03:13Whatever it is, props from a movie that never got finished.
03:17Mon Pa Kettle and Mrs. Doubtfire got finished, and the props actually came from those movies originally, so they are prices.
03:24Bring it here. I need it by next week, and it'll shut him up, and it makes my life a lot easier. If my life's easier, your life's easier.
03:33So do me that courtesy and get that...
03:35But he can't, but if he has those, he has to take good care of them, because they belong to me.
03:38He will. He's going to put it, he wants everything together. He's not stopping. He does not leave me alone about it. It's driving me nuts.
03:44Will you do me the favor of putting that crap in a box, getting it back to me so I can give it to him, and you'll shut the fuck up about it? You do that.
03:52But I'll get this stuff back.
03:53You'll get it back at some point, believe me, in the near future.
03:58Hmm.
03:58Dad.
04:00I've got to take a ten-minute break.
04:02Well, do it after we review the movie.
04:05Why don't we do this? We're going to take... We'll be right back.
04:07No, no, no, no.
04:08Here's a popcorn classic from Greg Turkington.
04:11No, but I don't...
04:11I'll take something for this. Hold on.
04:13Hey guys, it's time for another popcorn classic, and today's popcorn classic is Ghetto Dog.
04:33This is a very cool movie from 2006.
04:37It's 89 minutes, which is a little shorter than we like our popcorn classics to be,
04:41but because this movie has so much going for it, we've gone ahead and certified it as a popcorn classic,
04:48despite being under our minimum recommended running time.
04:51Now, this one stars Jay King,
04:55Drayna De Niro, no relation,
04:57and Gianna Palminteri, basically as some illegal gambling people that what they're doing is dogfighting.
05:09So, kind of an unpleasant movie with some violence and cruelty to animals.
05:14Definitely not something I'd recommend for kids.
05:16If a child wants to see a Scooby-Doo movie, and you see dog in the title, this is not your Scooby-Doo movie.
05:24It's rated R, but it actually is one of the more unpleasant things that you'll ever see.
05:31Back to you, Tim.
05:32All right, thank you guys so much.
05:41I appreciate that, filling the time.
05:43I laid down for about 20 minutes and feel much better,
05:46and took an Aleve muscle relaxer.
05:50All right.
05:51So, we're back on top here.
05:53We're going to talk about Halloween movies.
05:55We got The Black Phone 2, directed by Scott Derrickson, starring Mason Thames, Ethan Hawkey, and Jeremy Davis.
06:06As Finn, now 17, this is a sequel to Black Phone, struggles with life after his captivity,
06:14his sister begins receiving calls in her dreams from The Black Phone,
06:18and seeing disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp,
06:24known as Alpine Lake.
06:26It's kind of the phone from hell.
06:28It's interesting when you think about how phones have changed over the years.
06:32If Hitchcock had made this, it would be a very different type of phone.
06:36I see.
06:37And it's very cool that you would put something like that out during the Halloween season
06:41when Hollywood has dropped the ball.
06:43No new Halloween movie, no new Friday the 13th.
06:46So, move over Freddy and Jason.
06:49And then there's a new Bowie Man on the scene, and it's The Black Phone from Black Phone 2.
06:56And I love the original, but I have to say this one's at least twice as good.
07:01Okay.
07:01So, I'm going to give it five bags of popcorn.
07:04Anyways, The Black Phone 2, I don't need to see these kind of movies anymore
07:08because there's so much horror in the world that you don't need.
07:12You can just look at the news.
07:15But even during World War 2, they had movies coming out, so that doesn't make sense.
07:18Okay.
07:19I'm not sure if that's true.
07:20I think there was a pause on movies during that period.
07:23There's never been a year without movies since the motion picture was invented.
07:27Actually, look that up.
07:28Yeah.
07:30Get Grok on it.
07:31There might have been fewer, say, in 1944, but there were still plenty of movies.
07:36Ask him to name ten movies from 1944.
07:38Were there any movies during World War 2?
07:42It seems like you might be asking about movies from the 1900s or 1910s, since 19 is a bit vague.
07:49But I'll clarify and also address your question about movies during World War 2.
07:53Yeah, you're not an expert.
07:54If you're talking to me, I'll assume you want me to provide the info directly.
07:57For the first part, assuming you mean early 1900s, here are ten films from that era.
08:02Yeah.
08:02No, we said during World War 2.
08:04Well, we wanted movies during World War 2, which was 1925, was it 1930?
08:101925 to 1930.
08:12To 1945, when the war ended.
08:15What are the movies from 1925 to 1945?
08:22All right.
08:24So, none.
08:26Well, come by the VFA by our main storage facility, and we probably have 500 movies from that era,
08:34including Wizard of Oz.
08:38It came out during World War 2.
08:40Congratulations, you were able to name one.
08:42I'll give this five bags of popcorn, because it is a good horror movie.
08:46And anything else on that?
08:48It's a Wonderful Life.
08:49Also came out during World War 2.
08:52All right, let's talk about another movie set during World War 2, Blue Moon, directed by Richard Linklater, starring Ethan Hawkey, again.
09:03Margaret Qua'ali, and Barbie Carnival.
09:06The synopsis tells the story of Lauren's heart struggles with alcoholism and mental health, as he tries to save face during the opening of a play.
09:19Oklahoma.
09:19Oklahoma, which was also a movie that came out when?
09:24During World War 2.
09:25Okay.
09:27And your thoughts on Oklahoma?
09:31No, Blue Moon, which we're doing this time.
09:34Right, Blue Moon, yes.
09:35I love Oklahoma, but I love Blue Moon also.
09:38Yeah, it's kind of curious that there's two Ethan Hawke movies released in one week.
09:42Usually Hollywood won't do that, because the films compete with each other.
09:45Or in the case of an Ethan Hawke, they know that the fans are going to go see both of them.
09:50But I do wonder, wouldn't it have been a cool thing to put these out as a double feature and call it Black and Blue?
10:00Because you have the Black Phone 2 and then the Blue Moon.
10:04And this isn't even the first time that Ethan Hawke has made movies with Black and Blue in the title, because of course you have the Black Phone 1, but he also did a movie called Born to be Blue.
10:18So that would be a second double feature, those two and then these two, for the Ethan Hawke heads.
10:23And your review?
10:24Five Bags of Popcorn.
10:27Okay.
10:27And it should be served in, normally with popcorn, it's a yellow and red bucket, a black and blue bucket to commemorate this Ethan Hawke weekend.
10:39Alright, well it's big news for Ethan Hawke, big exciting developments for him going on, and we're proud of him and happy for him as a movie star.
10:48Does he have a Walk of Fame star?
10:50He does, he does.
10:50Does he really?
10:51He does.
10:52And it's something you should visit if you get the chance.
10:55Do you consider him Hollywood royalty?
10:58I do.
10:58Okay.
10:59Because it's only somebody like him, or a Brad Pitt, or a Tom Cruise, who you love, that could get away with two movies in one week.
11:07That's something you don't see very often.
11:09Alright.
11:09And hopefully we'll be seeing a lot more of it, not just from him, but from others as well.
11:15Well, if you're looking to fall asleep, sometimes people are looking to fall asleep, and having a hard time sleeping.
11:20Almost like melatonin or something.
11:25NyQuil, this movie's, they could call this a great movie to go to sleep to, because I fell asleep.
11:30Not with Ethan Hawke in it, though.
11:31Nobody's going to fall asleep with Ethan Hawke on the screen.
11:34Well, I sure did.
11:36I fell asleep right as the movie began, and then woke up at the end of the credits.
11:41That's because of the pills you're taking, it's not because of Ethan Hawke.
11:45I still do give it five bags of popcorn, because it was very well crafted, and that's Blue Moon.
11:50Alright, I think that's all we have time for today.
11:53Except for a new movie, starring.
11:58Excuse me.
12:02After the Hunt, Julia Roberts' new movie.
12:05Excuse me?
12:06Julia Roberts, her new movie, that you said we were reviewing.
12:12I don't know anything about that.
12:15What?
12:17After the Hunt.
12:18Should people see it?
12:19Yeah, they should.
12:20Okay, thank you, everybody.
12:21No, no, no.
12:22And also, we were going to do a segment on my new stickers.
12:27Alright.
12:31Well...
12:31Go ahead.
12:37I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to getting out of this room.
12:41I can't be here anymore.
12:42I can't do it.
12:45Well, I'll just do the show next week on my own, then, since I actually watch all three
12:49movies, and I actually like being in this room.
12:51So, you just stay in your room.
12:53We have a new thing at the VFA that we've been...
12:56We've actually been retooling the VFA a lot to make it more of a resource, I think, for
13:03people, and so one of the things that we came up with in the aftermath of some of these movies
13:08that are coming out this year that have the title, The Movie, in them, we realized that
13:15most movies should have that included, because otherwise you get that confusion with, is this
13:20a series, as we talked about, or is it a book, or is it a movie?
13:23So we've put together these new stickers, The Movie, which you can buy from the VFA, or you can make
13:30yourself, and basically, you can add these on the...
13:35Here we go.
13:48So basically, you peel it, and then you take whatever movie you have, except if it's a movie
13:55that already has the movie and the title, and you place it under title.
14:02So now you have Ghetto Dog, The Movie.
14:08Okay, great.
14:10You're providing those on your web store?
14:12Yep, we're going to sell these.
14:13Okay.
14:14Well, I don't know why anybody would want that, but if you want to get your The Movie stickers,
14:19visit vfa.expert, correct?
14:23Correct.
14:23That's all the time we have for today, unfortunately, but we'll be back next week with some really
14:28big news about the future of On Cinema, an entirely new format, that we'll be announcing
14:34next week, so stick around for that.
14:35You're going to be really glad you did.
14:37Thanks so much for tuning in.
14:39What do you mean by an entirely new format?
14:42Yeah, I'm not going to talk about it until I am confident that it's going to happen.
14:46But more movie reviews.
14:48Like, you're going to...
14:49Again, you'll know if it's on a need-to-know basis, and you're going to need to know at this
14:55point.
