Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome back to the Hub on Hollywood and iHeartRadio podcast.
I'm your co host James Rojas.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm Jamie Blanco.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
On this week's episode, it is Zendia Mania in Boston,
as she and Robert Pattinson are here in the city
filming their new movie in the area. Locals, they're going crazy,
They're going nuts over the two A list actors come
from movies and shows that are helping us get through
this election, tips and tricks that are also being offered
(00:33):
to make this movie going experience a better one for everyone.
And of course Sine quotes movie trivia at the end.
But first, Jamie, it of course was Halloween this past weekend.
How is your your festivities? How do they go?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
We had a great Halloween. The whole family came over.
We did trigger treating with three little kids, six adults.
My father in law, who you know, he's a he's
a quiet dude, but he pulls out the stops for Halloween.
So he actually showed up with one of those inflatable
dinosaur costumes, which is like, yeah, which and it blew
(01:12):
me away. But look, he didn't even make it halfway
down the block with it. Oh god, No, uncomfortable, So
so then he just busted out the Jason mask and
that's that's you know, Try and True goes to for Halloween.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Isn't this supposed to be like the most comfortable thing ever,
because like you're just in a pocket of air and
it's super light. Or was this just not like the
movements the motion?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I think it was the walking in it, like I
don't know something about it wasn't working. So but we
appreciate the effort. What about you, James?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
That costume went extinct. Yeah, my experience was great. We
have one and a half year old, so my wife
and I we took our baby lion. She dressed up
as this amazingly beautiful lion with this big hair of
mane and and te ill at the end of it.
And we did this block party in a local town
and it was very fun. They closed off main Street
(02:06):
for two blocks. The businesses, the restaurants, they're all closed,
but offering treats and whatnot. We did not partake in
the candy. She does not have enough teeth for that yet.
But we did walk around, take a lot of photos
and checked out a lot of the Halloween costumes. There
are a lot of really good ones, Like I said,
the inflatable dinosaurs.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Those were very popular that we saw on the block.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Also, my favorite part possibly was when three people were
dressed as three different versions of the mask, like Jim
Carrey's mask. You had like the Zamba mask, you had
like the Gangster mask, and there's another version of the mask.
But we saw them like a block away and I
was like, yo, and it looked really good. So a
(02:51):
lot of a lot of really good ones out there
this year.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
You know. I got to give props to my husband,
to James, he went as the Rizzler from Rizzler.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Oh is it that? Isn't that little kid? Huh No,
it's like, is it that little kid?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
No? Like the Rizzler, Like he's full of riz So
he just he bought like a sweatshirt that says the Rizzler.
And then he bought like a curly wig because you
know how the kids wear with their hair with you know,
the big pop of curly forehead, the broccoli heads or
the Lama hair or whatever. So he got he got
the Lama hair. He got a shirt that said the Rizzler.
(03:28):
He's shaved. Okay, good for like the first time in
ten years he was clean shaven, and so yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
So the.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Question I was raising was because I recently, unfortunately learned
about this family. They're like called like the Boom father
and son who go to Costco and they have like
this weird, obnoxious like catchphrase. And then there's like this
other kid who's like the Rizzler and like he does
like the riz face with the.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Chin and then eyebrow, and I'm like, what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I think society has gone beyond its its its expiration
date and this is not good. And so I thought
he was dressing as that kid who has just exploded
because they were on Jimmy Fallon this past week, and
I'm like, oh.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
God, no, no, we didn't keep doing this.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I think he's just dressing as every teenager that we
see right now. So yeah, that makes you feel better. Oh.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You know what did make me feel better though, was
a lot of people were embracing the Beetle Juice Beetle
Juice film. People were dressing up as, of course the
titular character Beetlejuice, but also I keep saying Wednesday Adams,
but it's the you know, Jenna Ortega's character in Beetle
Juice and some other beetle Juice characters and also like
a Willem defoex character with the brain exposed. Betlejuice as
(04:45):
predicted was very popular this year.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
That's that's awesome considering that it was filmed here in
New England at least the exterior parts of it were.
That's really exciting. Did see a lot of beetlejuices also,
so out on my travels, both in Salem and now
out of Salem. But James, you said that you were
(05:08):
were you in Salem for Halloween?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
So I was working reporting Salem morning, so fortunately I
left before it got crazy, which is the best. There
are reporters who have to be there like in the
afternoon and at night, just in the in the thick
of it. I am so glad in days like this
where I'm the morning reporter. Why show up at four
thirty in the morning and there's hardly anyone on the street,
(05:31):
but you do run into the people who do start
the party, like before the sun comes up. Like they
just flew in that morning of landed at Logan, went
straight to Salem and just started wandering. And that was
their game plan, to just wander the streets all day
and all night long. And then you have people from
like Texas who I spoke to who were ouved the
night before and then showed up and planned to do
the same thing. And so I was there for maybe
(05:54):
from like four thirty to eight, maybe seven thirty at
the latest. So I got in, got out, and then
like got the heck out of there, which is perfect
because again it turns into bumper bumper traffic. Driving there
is pointless, It's useless. And then when you do get there,
good luck finding parking. You are told repeatedly to go
(06:16):
find publish transportation, and then you know, then you know,
have a game plan. So fortunately I was able to
get in and get out early.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Woo. Yeah, you got to have a game plan. What
a special time. I love being able to get down
there to Salem. I don't think I mentioned it to you,
but I did get to go down there this last Sunday.
I was working in double shift. Oh but but on
my lunch break I actually got to go down there
for a little bit and we got to I got
(06:44):
to see our good friend Bora Bora witch who is hurting,
and all of the great monsters and musical acts and
just what a vibe? What a vibe? Really tried to
cherish it as a as much as I could. Did you
know that Bora officiates weddings?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I know that she does it all. There's no rest
for the wicked, I guess.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I guess, And there's no rest for the on Hollywood,
and there's no rest for Hollywood in New England, James.
Like we talked about Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice was filmed both in
Vermont and Melrose, correct the exterior shots. And we've got
a number of other projects that are getting underway creating
(07:33):
huge buzz. I'm going to talk about one that's brand new,
but one that's underway now and has got people super
excited is the Zundaia and Robert Pattinson flick called the.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Drama move Over. Spider Man. Batman's in town.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
She's going out with all the man's, all the superhero
I guess. So hey, but so they've been around town.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Right, Yeah, so Zendia, I guess. Like her favorite place
to go when she's in Boston is to I never
know how to pronounce it correctly, either tat taut Bakery
or taint Bakery. Yeah, Tate I don't know, but it's
really it's really good bakery where they have like really
good breakfast and breads. She goes there seemingly every time
(08:21):
she's in town, whether it's with Tom Holland like a
year ago or now again with Robert Pattinson, but she
was seen I always. I think it's funny and also
kind of creepy, maybe a little bit sad when you
do see the video. I sent you a video where
somebody is driving by and you can hear them commentating like, oh,
I heard Zendia is around here, and they're driving slowly,
and then they see her like biting into a croissant
(08:42):
and they zoom in like, oh, there's that.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
There she is. I'm like, we get it.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
And everyone sitting around her they were very nice and
you know, minding their own business. But then you could
see Zendea look up and make eye contact right went
like she took a bite of the sandwich with the
camera person. So it's like one of those things where like, yeah,
they're keeping their distance, but you're so you can't help
but feel like you're an animal in a zoo whenever
you're out and you are a celebrity of that stature,
(09:06):
but leave alone, Leaves and daya alone, but again seemingly
she's doing well. She was also seen at a local
like art shop and art studio, and then Robert Pattinson.
He was seeing a lot of video, a lot of
pictures popping up of him like on the set, so
kind of walking in between sets and whatnot on the
street in the Financial district, I believe, and people were
(09:27):
talking to the local news channels saying, oh my god,
like it was great. I walked right by Robert Pattinson
then he was like walking offset or something, and people
love love it that that Boston has turned into like
Minny Hollywood, Hollywood East over here.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So we welcome them. I think a lot of people
have been on their best behavior. Don't want to, you know,
make Batman angry or also will Clock you want or two.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
But it's great to see them in here filming, as
you mentioned the drama an a twenty four film, you.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Know, and people are always excited when the A list
celebrities are in town doing their business making movies. We've
been talking James about how there's been such a slow
down right in the number of productions underway here usually
throughout the summer in the fall, we are just chock
full of all kinds of projects, with all kinds of
(10:16):
celebrities running around the area. It's been very slow. It's
been very slow since the dual strikes, and the industry
is slowing it down a little bit even before the strikes.
So I'm very, very happy to see these productions back
in town. A brand new one on top of the
drama is a project called A Very Philly Christmas, A
(10:41):
Very Philly Christmas filming not in Philly, but here in
Boston that is being shot right in and around town.
So look out for that one. Boston Casting is handling
background stand ins, et cetera, et cetera for both A
Very Philly Christmas and the drama. Other projects, some of
(11:03):
the other bigger projects are south of town. Right now.
We've got the latest season of Oh gosh, what's it called.
We've got the latest season of the one in Rhode
Island with the.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Rich people, Downton not Downton Abbey.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh my gosh, we're gonna have to edit the you know,
sometimes my brain I'm so ready and I've got everything,
you know, and then it just like plunks out of
a hole.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
The Rhode Island.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah yeah, oh is the one Nicole.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Kidman noosed to keep track of.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Grant Wilfree Casting is handling both Happy Gilmore two, which
is filming in New Jersey. But if you sign up
Grant Wilfree g w C n y C, they can
get you into background work on that one and the
Gilded Age. There we go. I found it again, you know,
(12:07):
adhd brains. Sometimes things fall through holes and then you
just got to found it. But the Gilded Age latest
season of that filming in Rhode Island right now, that
is also Grant will Free Casting. If you want the
opportunity to get to where are those beautiful dresses right
or those suits and ties and get transported back into
(12:28):
the eighteen hundreds and be a part of that very glamorous,
glamorous show. So I'm happy to see that projects are
ramping back up. Hopefully this continues to trend that way.
Stay with the Hub on Hollywood. We can continue to
bring you these up casting calls, and we want to
get you in.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
The movies absolutely, and I know we forgot to mention this,
but for those who do want to enter the cinematic
world without actually being an actor and acting on set
for like twelve hours. You can actually hop onto the
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice set in a way because Airbnb, there's an
(13:10):
Airbnb house or house on the platform that looks just
like the Beetlejuice House in the both first film and
second film and has all like the intricate workings of
like the the Beyond Life, the Weird Tunnel. Like what
else do they have in this airbnbat us being offered, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
They've got a lot of the interior sets, right, They've
got like the attic with the with the big miniature
of the city of East Corinth, Vermont, where this house
was originally built. But this is like a pop up
reconstruction in New Jersey, and it's actually it's a day experienced, James.
(13:49):
So you you book it, you get down there. You
can spend an entire day inside of this house doing
all kinds of activities. There's a you can paint with
a delia with iliadiads and have a painting experience inside.
You can there's all other kinds of activities that you
can do inside and explore the pop up home, and
(14:10):
Airbnb will also give you a night's stay at a
at an actual Airbnb where you can with real beds
for the night. If you book this experience there in
New Jersey, you have a price for this. I didn't
see a price. I think you have to process of
(14:30):
booking it. I would assume it might be a little
pricey as well. But hey, if you're a big fan
and you're looking for a unique experience right in a
little mini trip, this is go for it. And you're
gonna want to hurry because this coming week is the
last week to be able to book this experience. So
(14:52):
if you'd like to be at the beetlebe Juice Beetlejuice
House for a day, head on over to Airbnb. We
don't get paid by them, but you know that's what
that's what you're gonna want to do, if you want
to do this.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Excellent well, you know, speaking about unique experiences, there are
those who want to make going to the movie theater
a unique experience once again, and we talked about, you know,
in the last episode, I did an interview over at
the Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline Theater that is known
for doing a lot of like quote gimmicks to try
to make the theater experience more unique, personable difference and
(15:30):
worth leaving the couch and driving and going to a
place to enjoy a movie not only on a digital
screen or a digital projector, but the actual film, the
film classic screen is beautiful. And so there are movies
and movie directors who are talking about, you know what
they would suggest to make the theater experience more welcoming,
(15:51):
more enticing. And there's one coming from Todd Phillips, the
director of Joker, Joker Too, and the Hangover films. He
came out with the suggestion and I wholeheartedly agree and
I've I've ranted about this before. Jamie so very passionate
about this, but okay, basically says, stop showing commercials before
the movies. I was being interviewed recently and he made
(16:14):
the suggestion that could help, you know, theaters come bat
the desire for people to stay on the couch and
stream stuff. He says, quote, stop showing commercials before the movies.
We've paid for our tickets, We're excited to be there.
The commercials tend to take the air out of the room.
And I cannot agree with this statement more. I remember
growing in an era, in a day, an age where before,
(16:39):
before the trailer started, they would actually have movie trivia,
like movie quotes and movie trivia, and you'd be there
with your friends or family sitting there eating popcorn and
like having fun, and like it just adds to the
feeling and the emotion of going out to a place
together to enjoy this communal experience. And then I don't
know when it happened, but they saw realizing, hey, we
(17:01):
can make more money. And I know theaters are struggling
and this may have been a way to increase rejuvenate
some revenue to have ads play. And but like, like
like Todd Phillips was talking about, it takes it sucks
the air out of the room where you're just being
inundated with more ads. You get hit with ads at
(17:21):
home on TV, on your phone, online. Now you're at
a theater to get away from all of that stuff,
away from all these distractions, and you get even more
ads on a gigantic screen that you can't ignore.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Now he says, just get rid of them.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Now does he mean just the ads, like you know,
ads for businesses and things like that, or is he
also talking about the trailers, Because I know you've ranted
about the trailers as well, Like I enjoy trailers, but
it's gotten to the point now where the trailers playing
eat up about half an hour or forty five minutes
before the movie even starts.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, so I think he's only talking about the co marshals,
the ads that run before the trailers, though I do agree.
I feel like trailers used to run and the the
theory used to be, Oh, you could show fifteen minutes
late before you know the movie starts, if you're running
late to a showtime, and that's fine, you'll be there,
you'll be able to see see the movie the beginning
(18:17):
of it. But now it's stretched to twenty twenty five,
thirty minutes and thirty minutes of trailers where you're like,
I got things to do after this. And on top
of the trailers that run this extended period, now you
also have and I've given Imax, you know, you know,
I've critiqued criticized IMAX for this too, especially for you know,
(18:38):
the IMAX showings or the Dolby Surround sound showings. They'll
have like another minute or two minute, like like hype
up video telling you like you're about to.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Experience IMAX like never before. Sounds never before.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Like, I'm already in the seats, I'm already in the theater.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I've already bought tickets for this said experience. You don't
have to sell me. I'm gonna be so don't do that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
So that's that adds more to the length and the
time and the waiting, and so yeah, we need to
cut down on this. Trim it down, please you.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
You would have loved this. I don't remember what it was.
One of the last movies I went to go see.
They had the amc ad where like the people are
dancing with the Coca cola and whatever, right, and then
they had Nicole Kidman. Right, they had the Nicole Kidman
a mc ad you know movies feel great, heartbreak feels
great in a place like this. And then they had
another Nicole Kidman ad like doing the exact same thing,
(19:34):
was slightly different like dialogue. And there was like three
of them, three of them in a row, and the
people around me were all groaning like what it's like,
I know, Nicole Kidman is beautiful, but come on, like,
why why are there two of the ad mads in
a row and the other a MC thing? And right,
(19:55):
the the like IMAX or Adobe or you know whatever. Intro.
But I personally am a big fan of the trailers.
I don't mind how long the trailers take. But yeah,
I think we can trim the fat off off of
pretty much anything else. Now you mentioned like trivia and
(20:16):
stuff like that. You know who does it really well
is uh, you know that place if you talk, they
kick you out Draft House, Alamo Draft House. They have
their own they have their own pre show entertainment that
they produce in house for for the movies, and it's hilarious.
(20:37):
So I always say, if you do enjoy that sort
of stuff, try to make it out to Alamo Draft House.
It's really cool. Just don't get kicked out.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
No, don't talk, don't text, don't disturb. But speaking about
the trimming the fat and trimming unnecessary things, you know,
there are some short films that beat some other two
and a half three hour films that are out there
just because they trim the fat. They focus on what's important,
the story, the beats, and you know, they get you
(21:07):
in and they get you out. And I'm curious, what
do you think about what these movie theaters in South
Korea are experimenting with right now? Because they're experimenting with
what they're calling snack films, and what snack films are
are as I mentioned, like short films, anything that could
run to an hour, forty five minutes, thirteen minutes, things
that are are short, concise, sweet, straight to the point,
(21:30):
but enjoyable. And so right now they're offering up these
snack films with lower ticket prices, citing they say, quote
the format has been fueled by the popularity of social
media and demand for brief but engaging contents, And I
think there may be a market for this, especially in
big cities where you have, say you're out with friends
(21:52):
and you have like an hour an hour or so
to kill before you go into the movie, to a theater,
to a bar, to an advent or what have you.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
You're like, oh, what do we like?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh there's a there's a thirty minute showtime over here
at this movie. Let's go pop in, pop out. And
I think that might be a good way to entice
people who are done with.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
The two and a half three, three.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
And a half hour movies. They're like, Okay, I just
want something digestible. I want to get in and out.
And then it got me thinking, like, who else made this,
these snack films be useful for and it may be
useful for families who You mentioned that you have two
children and they kind of differ when it comes to
watching movies. One I think you said, Desi is the
(22:33):
one that can sit and watch a movie in its entirety,
and Nikki, after like a certain point, may be like
a little wiggly in the chair. This may be for
families who like, hey, we need to get in watch
something enjoyable and then you know, and get on with
our day.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Kind of a thing. What are your thoughts on the
snack films theory?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
All right, I've got two thoughts on this, and I
do agree. I think this would probably be the most
successful for families with kids. And you're so funny, You're like,
oh and Nicki wiggles in his chair. Nicki, okay, climbed
over the back of the seats and wedged himself between
the wall and the recliners in the movie theaters. So
(23:14):
like he he gets into trouble right when we're in
the theater. You take your eye off of him for
a second, and yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
No house for Nicki.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
No no, no, no, not for a while, not for
a while. The boy has energy, it's it's fun but
also terrifying. So yes, I think that that would be
really successful for movies. And like we've been talking about,
theaters are looking for ways to be sustainable to make
more money. We love the theater going experience, and I
(23:44):
would love for them to find more ways like this
to think outside of the box to bring in more revenue.
And you can also turn around your theatergoers more often.
You're maybe you're selling these movies for a little less money,
but you can get more people in and out, more
people in and out. So I'm down for any kind
of ideas like this that will keep theaters alive and thriving.
(24:08):
Also really great for filmmakers and indie filmmakers, people who
otherwise might not get the opportunity to have their film
in theaters. Something like this would be I mean a
really really great opportunity for up and coming New York
indie filmmakers to have a partnership with theaters and create
(24:30):
this kind of content. My only gripe James with this idea,
My only sort of like little gripe with this is
that are we really as a society heading into direction
where we can't even sit through a whole movie. Like,
I know people's attention spans are shrinking, but I don't
(24:51):
know if I want, personally, like my movies to shrink.
Like I want to go there and be there for
the full experience, spend my three hours and my dollars
there for the whole experience of relaxed throughout that time.
But pros and cons, pros and cons.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, they're definitely pros and cons. I think a big
pro would be yeah for the people who want like
a shorter experience in the movie theater. Again, a good film,
it can't be just a you know, like a bad
short film, but hopefully a good film of a good substance.
But a three dollars price tag, do you have two, three,
four people with three dollars each. That's a really good deal.
That's a really really good deal, especially if you're doing
(25:31):
like a family fun night or even like a date.
Say if you're going now with somebody you like and
you're like, hey, let's go get a movie and a dinner.
Sometimes you know that's a big commitment, like an hour
and a half two hours for just the movie plus
thirty minutes of commercials. They'll get me starting out on
the commercials and the trailers. But add that together and
then you're like, Okay, let's go and have dinner. Now
I'm like, now dinner, Like this is this is how
(25:52):
long are we hanging out? This is our first date?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Like I want to get in and out. I don't
want to.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Invest too much time on the first date. And so
this could be perfect for like, yeah, like high schoolers
or people just starting to test the waters with somebody else.
I gauge their their their endurance for a film, and
also how aboud do they do in a film? Because yeah,
and I joke about this and it wasn't really the case,
but I joke with my wife that on one of
our first states, we went to a movie and she
(26:18):
may be of a movie talker maybe, And so we
joked that that was close to being a deal breaker.
And so say, for example, yeah, you're like, hey.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
That is a deal breaker for me.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
You go to a movie, forty five minutes you find out, okay,
they're they're a movie talker.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
This, uh, this isn't gonna work out. I may in
and out.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So pros and cons, pros and cons. So hey, look
I think this is cool concepts.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, yeah, but if I'm going on the first day
with someone, I want the whole experience. Okay, I wanted
to dinner. I want the three hour movie. I went
to this set and the other thing. But it's so
funny you mentioned that about your wife. So one of
the worst dates I ever went on. And I'm not
I won't say the guy's name, good friend, good good
(27:04):
friend now, but he very energetic person who we went
to go see one of these Superman movies, one where
a Superman has a kid with Lois Lane. It was
a very long time ago, and he not only talked
throughout the entire movie, he loudly was ragging on this
(27:26):
movie the entire time, and like everybody was like looking
at him and and shushing at him and trying to
get him to shut up, and he would not stop
the whole entire movie. So, uh, yeah, movies are a
great place.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
To test goodness. I feel stressed. I feel stressed.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
So that's why we should talk about what soothes us,
what comforts us. And in a time of electing our
future in America, let's talk about what what helps us
forget the good and the bad, maybe just the bad
in the world.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
And uh topic is comfort movies and TV shows.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
That's right, because I feel like we're we're all, We've
got all this tension right right now. People are dealing
with the vitriol that is the election and the NonStop
bombardment of ads and whatnot, and I think sometimes we
just need to step away, We need to take a
(28:26):
deep breath, things in perspective and realize that, you know,
we're all okay. Okay, So James, not only are comfort
movies something that can just take you away for a
little bit, comfort movies are things that can actually heal you, Okay.
They are things that can that that can make your
life better. And I bring you this example. I had
(28:48):
a uh, I had a sense I had a martial
arts instructor.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Sounds awesome.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, Michael Veltrie's sense who was actually a cancer survivor,
and the way that he got through his chemo therapy
was was watching funny movies. Was just watching funny movies NonStop.
And there is research games that supports the fact that
making yourself happy and diving into these comfort things increases
(29:22):
all of those good hormones, decreases stress, lowers inflammation in
the body. So I'm just telling you these movies not
only do they make you feel good, but they can
actually you know, change your physiology, heal you, what have you.
I'm gonna go all the way out there and say
like these these are your healing movies, not just your
(29:44):
comfort movies, but but in the in those times, James,
we're gonna talk about what you and me find the
most comforting. What is our go to? I'd love to
know what other people's go tos are, but if you'd like,
I can kick it off. Yeah, with my I feel
like my number one comfort movie that, no matter what
(30:05):
is happening in my life, will will put a smile
on my face and take me, you know, out of everything,
is The Princess Bride. You know, from from start to finish,
I could probably tell you know every line of dialogue.
It just makes you smile, and it's it's simple but
adventurous and fun and joyful and joyful in the in
(30:29):
the filmmaking and all aspects of that film. So The
Princess Bride, I feel like, is on a lot of
people's list. What's what's on yours?
Speaker 3 (30:38):
That's a really good one.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I think if you know the hop on Hollywood, I
think you'll know some of my favorite movies and might
go to two comfort movies or or of course Paddington
Paddington One, specifically Paddington Too.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
They're just so wholesome.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
And those are movies that when I you know, when
they're out in the in the theater doing their theatrical run,
I thought, yeah, there's a kid's movie about a bear
based off this series of books, and never would have
guessed that they were actually really great films, some of
the best films I've actually seen. And not only because
it has a great storytelling, great characters, but it does
(31:19):
really put you and myself specifically in a really nice
mindset where I feel like, you know, when you're watching this,
you feel comfort, literal comfort, you're laughing, you're feeling emotions,
and you're just enthralled by the characters and the genuine
goodness that they have and love for each other, and
that love if you could feel a radiating off the screen.
(31:42):
And so those are movies that whenever if I'm feeling
down or if you're having a rough day, I'll pop
it on, maybe not pay attention to it fully because
I've seen it in a million times, but it will
be on the background but just having it there with me,
I think that's it brings a great comfort, and I
know it brings a lot of people great comfort as
well too, So that's why I'm really looking forward to
Paddington three, Paddington in Peru. But Paddington films, they're fantastic, Yeah,
(32:06):
feel good.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Movies, excellent. This other comfort movie that honestly was called
out in the Barbie Movie. It was one of the
funniest moments of the entire Barbie movie just because of
how seen. I think it was criminal, how they called
(32:29):
everyone out. Pride and Prejudice. Okay, Pride and Prejudice is
something that I feel like a lot of women have
in common, obviously based on the Jane Austen novel of
the same name, but there are a lot of versions
of Pride and Prejudice. I am talking specifically about the
(32:49):
BBC dramatization version the limited series because it's the best
version by far, the nineteen ninety five drama from the
BBC that is my go to. It's so beautifully done,
well paced, the characters are are are amazing, and it
(33:14):
just makes you feel good and the payoff is so perfect.
It's delightful. It's delightful. So whenever I'm particularly stressed, my
husband will come downstairs and find me watching that for
the millionth time. It's just it's an easy go to
and it makes me feel better every single time.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
No, that's awesome. Yeah, that's uh. They've made They've made
so many different versions.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
So I think there's like each version is somebody else's
comfort show or movie, and so I think that's really
good that, you know, people harp. There's so many remakes
and and I think it's different based you know, for
movies that are based off books.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
But yeah, I think they're you know, different versions.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
People have that specific one that resonates most with them
that they you know, that they find soothing and they
love those those actors in those roles. So that's good
to hear that. That's your that's your pick. My next
comfort movie go to is a movie that came out
just last year.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
I was raving about it. I want.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I think it was the best film that I saw
last year, and that is The Holdovers starring Paul Giamatti
and Devine Joy Randolph and Dominic Cessa the great movie
about the curmudgeon league instructor from New England in Massachusetts
who remains on campus with with the school's cook as
well as the student, and they are holding over their
(34:40):
holdouts holdovers I guess on I don't know proper sentencing,
but they're stuck at school during Christmas. And then you know,
throughout the film, they in the beginning, they you know,
more so the teacher and the student, they don't get along.
They're very hot, I want to say, hostile towards each other,
but they don't under stand each other. They're just tolerating
(35:02):
each other. And then by the end of the movie,
through their stories and tellings and experiences, they come to
respect each other. And it's a very heartwarming seasonal Christmas
movie that I really really really loved. And so that's
one movie that is definitely now in my rotation from
now on.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Wonderful right that the thing that's kind of getting me
through these days, these final days of the election right now,
and I've talked about this in our last episode as well,
is one piece. I feel like the Netflix live action
(35:44):
version is one of the best adaptations of media ever,
right from taking the source material and making it into
live action, right and it's all about adventure and friendship,
enjoy and loyalty and overcoming adversity and being there for
(36:06):
each other. And in the live action in particular, just
every single frame is so beautiful that it just it
makes me my eyes happy just just to look at it.
I'm also going through the entire anime. But if I
had to pick an anime, which which I love that
(36:26):
is my go to comfort show where I can just
throw it on mindlessly, smile NonStop and feel good, it
would have to be Or on High School Host Club?
Is this anything you've ever heard of? Noay's good. So
it is very good. It's about this, uh, this girl
(36:48):
named hot dou He who ends up in this super
wealthy school and she's there on a scholarship. She's the
only like poor person in the school and she gets
sucked into this club, into this host club, and host
club is a thing in Asia. It's like you treat
young women and you make them happy, and like that's
(37:10):
your job, and so how do he's actually pretending to
be a boy to pay off a debt in the
host club by making other girls happy? And it's just
it's a super super super cute, happy, joyful show. So
Or on High School Host Club? If I had to
pick my one most comfort happy joy anime. It would
(37:31):
have to be that awesome.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
My next I guess yeah, my next comfort show would
be if you heard the show Psych with James row
De Rodriguez and Doula Hill. I don't know many seasons
they have, but they have many seasons and several psych movies.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
That's a great, great series.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
And so basically if you don't know what Psych is,
it's based off this character who is very observant and
and pays attention to very key details and kind of
like Sherlock Holmes, where he can like eventually deduce and
help solve crimes just by you know, looking at details,
and he's very attentive to that. However, he is pretending
(38:15):
to do it with psychic abilities psychic powers, and he
does that because in the first episode he like lies
to law enforcement saying he's psychic for you know X reason,
and then he gets off you know this this this
thing he was accused of, and then he has to
just go with it or else they'll be like, oh,
you lied, You're not psychic. And so that's basically the
whole premise of the show. And he does it with
(38:36):
his with his best friend and they go off. It's
like a serial series where each each week is you know,
the crime, the solving crime of the week, and has
a great supporting characters, great acting, super funny, super lighthearted.
It's one of those like those like TBS. They're called
like always sunny shows or like daylight shows, I forget
(38:57):
the term, but their show is kind of like Monk
or shows like burn. Notice those shows, those serious where
it's it's just it's it's there's enough drama and like
really fun police work and detect work in there, but
it also doesn't take itself too seriously and it's it's
such a great show to have on whether you're watching
it for the millionth time or it's on in the background.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Psych is one of those great conference shows, right.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
And the last one I'll mention on my list, James,
is a musical. I know it's one of your favorites too.
Is Just Hamilton. The Hamilton that they've got on Disney Plus.
They put it up on Disney Plus during the pandemic
to bring joy to people and to make people not
too but also to help give people access to this,
(39:45):
you know, amazing show that otherwise most people might not
be able to pay to go see a Broadway show,
but it just made it that much more accessible when
everyone was stuck in lockdown. But that's another one that
you know, any given day, I can just throw it
on and it's playing in the background in my house
and you know, dancing around the house doing what I've
(40:06):
got to do, because you know, anything lin Manuel Miranda
Touches is just magic and gold and fire. So I
love it. Hamilton rounds off my list for top comfort
movies and shows to throw off.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
All right, all right, I think that's all I have too.
I think I've had to throw one more in there
and be Coco.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Great film, great movie, very emotional, so at very an
I'm always usually crying. But it's a very very nice, beautiful,
visually stunning film. Cocoa, which is in rotation perfect. Well,

Welcome back to the Hub on Hollywood and iHeartRadio podcast.
I'm your co host James Rojas.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm Jamie Blanco.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
On this week's episode, it is Zendia Mania in Boston,
as she and Robert Pattinson are here in the city
filming their new movie in the area. Locals, they're going crazy,
They're going nuts over the two A list actors come
from movies and shows that are helping us get through
this election, tips and tricks that are also being offered
(00:33):
to make this movie going experience a better one for everyone.
And of course Sine quotes movie trivia at the end.
But first, Jamie, it of course was Halloween this past weekend.
How is your your festivities? How do they go?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
We had a great Halloween. The whole family came over.
We did trigger treating with three little kids, six adults.
My father in law, who you know, he's a he's
a quiet dude, but he pulls out the stops for Halloween.
So he actually showed up with one of those inflatable
dinosaur costumes, which is like, yeah, which and it blew
(01:12):
me away. But look, he didn't even make it halfway
down the block with it. Oh god, No, uncomfortable, So
so then he just busted out the Jason mask and
that's that's you know, Try and True goes to for Halloween.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Isn't this supposed to be like the most comfortable thing ever,
because like you're just in a pocket of air and
it's super light. Or was this just not like the
movements the motion?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I think it was the walking in it, like I
don't know something about it wasn't working. So but we
appreciate the effort. What about you, James?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
That costume went extinct. Yeah, my experience was great. We
have one and a half year old, so my wife
and I we took our baby lion. She dressed up
as this amazingly beautiful lion with this big hair of
mane and and te ill at the end of it.
And we did this block party in a local town
and it was very fun. They closed off main Street
(02:06):
for two blocks. The businesses, the restaurants, they're all closed,
but offering treats and whatnot. We did not partake in
the candy. She does not have enough teeth for that yet.
But we did walk around, take a lot of photos
and checked out a lot of the Halloween costumes. There
are a lot of really good ones, Like I said,
the inflatable dinosaurs.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Those were very popular that we saw on the block.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Also, my favorite part possibly was when three people were
dressed as three different versions of the mask, like Jim
Carrey's mask. You had like the Zamba mask, you had
like the Gangster mask, and there's another version of the mask.
But we saw them like a block away and I
was like, yo, and it looked really good. So a
(02:51):
lot of a lot of really good ones out there
this year.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
You know. I got to give props to my husband,
to James, he went as the Rizzler from Rizzler.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Oh is it that? Isn't that little kid? Huh No,
it's like, is it that little kid?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
No? Like the Rizzler, Like he's full of riz So
he just he bought like a sweatshirt that says the Rizzler.
And then he bought like a curly wig because you
know how the kids wear with their hair with you know,
the big pop of curly forehead, the broccoli heads or
the Lama hair or whatever. So he got he got
the Lama hair. He got a shirt that said the Rizzler.
(03:28):
He's shaved. Okay, good for like the first time in
ten years he was clean shaven, and so yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
So the.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Question I was raising was because I recently, unfortunately learned
about this family. They're like called like the Boom father
and son who go to Costco and they have like
this weird, obnoxious like catchphrase. And then there's like this
other kid who's like the Rizzler and like he does
like the riz face with the.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Chin and then eyebrow, and I'm like, what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I think society has gone beyond its its its expiration
date and this is not good. And so I thought
he was dressing as that kid who has just exploded
because they were on Jimmy Fallon this past week, and
I'm like, oh.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
God, no, no, we didn't keep doing this.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I think he's just dressing as every teenager that we
see right now. So yeah, that makes you feel better. Oh.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You know what did make me feel better though, was
a lot of people were embracing the Beetle Juice Beetle
Juice film. People were dressing up as, of course the
titular character Beetlejuice, but also I keep saying Wednesday Adams,
but it's the you know, Jenna Ortega's character in Beetle
Juice and some other beetle Juice characters and also like
a Willem defoex character with the brain exposed. Betlejuice as
(04:45):
predicted was very popular this year.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
That's that's awesome considering that it was filmed here in
New England at least the exterior parts of it were.
That's really exciting. Did see a lot of beetlejuices also,
so out on my travels, both in Salem and now
out of Salem. But James, you said that you were
(05:08):
were you in Salem for Halloween?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
So I was working reporting Salem morning, so fortunately I
left before it got crazy, which is the best. There
are reporters who have to be there like in the
afternoon and at night, just in the in the thick
of it. I am so glad in days like this
where I'm the morning reporter. Why show up at four
thirty in the morning and there's hardly anyone on the street,
(05:31):
but you do run into the people who do start
the party, like before the sun comes up. Like they
just flew in that morning of landed at Logan, went
straight to Salem and just started wandering. And that was
their game plan, to just wander the streets all day
and all night long. And then you have people from
like Texas who I spoke to who were ouved the
night before and then showed up and planned to do
the same thing. And so I was there for maybe
(05:54):
from like four thirty to eight, maybe seven thirty at
the latest. So I got in, got out, and then
like got the heck out of there, which is perfect
because again it turns into bumper bumper traffic. Driving there
is pointless, It's useless. And then when you do get there,
good luck finding parking. You are told repeatedly to go
(06:16):
find publish transportation, and then you know, then you know,
have a game plan. So fortunately I was able to
get in and get out early.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Woo. Yeah, you got to have a game plan. What
a special time. I love being able to get down
there to Salem. I don't think I mentioned it to you,
but I did get to go down there this last Sunday.
I was working in double shift. Oh but but on
my lunch break I actually got to go down there
for a little bit and we got to I got
(06:44):
to see our good friend Bora Bora witch who is hurting,
and all of the great monsters and musical acts and
just what a vibe? What a vibe? Really tried to
cherish it as a as much as I could. Did you
know that Bora officiates weddings?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I know that she does it all. There's no rest
for the wicked, I guess.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I guess, And there's no rest for the on Hollywood,
and there's no rest for Hollywood in New England, James.
Like we talked about Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice was filmed both in
Vermont and Melrose, correct the exterior shots. And we've got
a number of other projects that are getting underway creating
(07:33):
huge buzz. I'm going to talk about one that's brand new,
but one that's underway now and has got people super
excited is the Zundaia and Robert Pattinson flick called the.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Drama move Over. Spider Man. Batman's in town.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
She's going out with all the man's, all the superhero
I guess. So hey, but so they've been around town.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Right, Yeah, so Zendia, I guess. Like her favorite place
to go when she's in Boston is to I never
know how to pronounce it correctly, either tat taut Bakery
or taint Bakery. Yeah, Tate I don't know, but it's
really it's really good bakery where they have like really
good breakfast and breads. She goes there seemingly every time
(08:21):
she's in town, whether it's with Tom Holland like a
year ago or now again with Robert Pattinson, but she
was seen I always. I think it's funny and also
kind of creepy, maybe a little bit sad when you
do see the video. I sent you a video where
somebody is driving by and you can hear them commentating like, oh,
I heard Zendia is around here, and they're driving slowly,
and then they see her like biting into a croissant
(08:42):
and they zoom in like, oh, there's that.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
There she is. I'm like, we get it.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
And everyone sitting around her they were very nice and
you know, minding their own business. But then you could
see Zendea look up and make eye contact right went
like she took a bite of the sandwich with the
camera person. So it's like one of those things where like, yeah,
they're keeping their distance, but you're so you can't help
but feel like you're an animal in a zoo whenever
you're out and you are a celebrity of that stature,
(09:06):
but leave alone, Leaves and daya alone, but again seemingly
she's doing well. She was also seen at a local
like art shop and art studio, and then Robert Pattinson.
He was seeing a lot of video, a lot of
pictures popping up of him like on the set, so
kind of walking in between sets and whatnot on the
street in the Financial district, I believe, and people were
(09:27):
talking to the local news channels saying, oh my god,
like it was great. I walked right by Robert Pattinson
then he was like walking offset or something, and people
love love it that that Boston has turned into like
Minny Hollywood, Hollywood East over here.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So we welcome them. I think a lot of people
have been on their best behavior. Don't want to, you know,
make Batman angry or also will Clock you want or two.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
But it's great to see them in here filming, as
you mentioned the drama an a twenty four film, you.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Know, and people are always excited when the A list
celebrities are in town doing their business making movies. We've
been talking James about how there's been such a slow
down right in the number of productions underway here usually
throughout the summer in the fall, we are just chock
full of all kinds of projects, with all kinds of
(10:16):
celebrities running around the area. It's been very slow. It's
been very slow since the dual strikes, and the industry
is slowing it down a little bit even before the strikes.
So I'm very, very happy to see these productions back
in town. A brand new one on top of the
drama is a project called A Very Philly Christmas, A
(10:41):
Very Philly Christmas filming not in Philly, but here in
Boston that is being shot right in and around town.
So look out for that one. Boston Casting is handling
background stand ins, et cetera, et cetera for both A
Very Philly Christmas and the drama. Other projects, some of
(11:03):
the other bigger projects are south of town. Right now.
We've got the latest season of Oh gosh, what's it called.
We've got the latest season of the one in Rhode
Island with the.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Rich people, Downton not Downton Abbey.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh my gosh, we're gonna have to edit the you know,
sometimes my brain I'm so ready and I've got everything,
you know, and then it just like plunks out of
a hole.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
The Rhode Island.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah yeah, oh is the one Nicole.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Kidman noosed to keep track of.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Grant Wilfree Casting is handling both Happy Gilmore two, which
is filming in New Jersey. But if you sign up
Grant Wilfree g w C n y C, they can
get you into background work on that one and the
Gilded Age. There we go. I found it again, you know,
(12:07):
adhd brains. Sometimes things fall through holes and then you
just got to found it. But the Gilded Age latest
season of that filming in Rhode Island right now, that
is also Grant will Free Casting. If you want the
opportunity to get to where are those beautiful dresses right
or those suits and ties and get transported back into
(12:28):
the eighteen hundreds and be a part of that very glamorous,
glamorous show. So I'm happy to see that projects are
ramping back up. Hopefully this continues to trend that way.
Stay with the Hub on Hollywood. We can continue to
bring you these up casting calls, and we want to
get you in.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
The movies absolutely, and I know we forgot to mention this,
but for those who do want to enter the cinematic
world without actually being an actor and acting on set
for like twelve hours. You can actually hop onto the
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice set in a way because Airbnb, there's an
(13:10):
Airbnb house or house on the platform that looks just
like the Beetlejuice House in the both first film and
second film and has all like the intricate workings of
like the the Beyond Life, the Weird Tunnel. Like what
else do they have in this airbnbat us being offered, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
They've got a lot of the interior sets, right, They've
got like the attic with the with the big miniature
of the city of East Corinth, Vermont, where this house
was originally built. But this is like a pop up
reconstruction in New Jersey, and it's actually it's a day experienced, James.
(13:49):
So you you book it, you get down there. You
can spend an entire day inside of this house doing
all kinds of activities. There's a you can paint with
a delia with iliadiads and have a painting experience inside.
You can there's all other kinds of activities that you
can do inside and explore the pop up home, and
(14:10):
Airbnb will also give you a night's stay at a
at an actual Airbnb where you can with real beds
for the night. If you book this experience there in
New Jersey, you have a price for this. I didn't
see a price. I think you have to process of
(14:30):
booking it. I would assume it might be a little
pricey as well. But hey, if you're a big fan
and you're looking for a unique experience right in a
little mini trip, this is go for it. And you're
gonna want to hurry because this coming week is the
last week to be able to book this experience. So
(14:52):
if you'd like to be at the beetlebe Juice Beetlejuice
House for a day, head on over to Airbnb. We
don't get paid by them, but you know that's what
that's what you're gonna want to do, if you want
to do this.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Excellent well, you know, speaking about unique experiences, there are
those who want to make going to the movie theater
a unique experience once again, and we talked about, you know,
in the last episode, I did an interview over at
the Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline Theater that is known
for doing a lot of like quote gimmicks to try
to make the theater experience more unique, personable difference and
(15:30):
worth leaving the couch and driving and going to a
place to enjoy a movie not only on a digital
screen or a digital projector, but the actual film, the
film classic screen is beautiful. And so there are movies
and movie directors who are talking about, you know what
they would suggest to make the theater experience more welcoming,
(15:51):
more enticing. And there's one coming from Todd Phillips, the
director of Joker, Joker Too, and the Hangover films. He
came out with the suggestion and I wholeheartedly agree and
I've I've ranted about this before. Jamie so very passionate
about this, but okay, basically says, stop showing commercials before
the movies. I was being interviewed recently and he made
(16:14):
the suggestion that could help, you know, theaters come bat
the desire for people to stay on the couch and
stream stuff. He says, quote, stop showing commercials before the movies.
We've paid for our tickets, We're excited to be there.
The commercials tend to take the air out of the room.
And I cannot agree with this statement more. I remember
growing in an era, in a day, an age where before,
(16:39):
before the trailer started, they would actually have movie trivia,
like movie quotes and movie trivia, and you'd be there
with your friends or family sitting there eating popcorn and
like having fun, and like it just adds to the
feeling and the emotion of going out to a place
together to enjoy this communal experience. And then I don't
know when it happened, but they saw realizing, hey, we
(17:01):
can make more money. And I know theaters are struggling
and this may have been a way to increase rejuvenate
some revenue to have ads play. And but like, like
like Todd Phillips was talking about, it takes it sucks
the air out of the room where you're just being
inundated with more ads. You get hit with ads at
(17:21):
home on TV, on your phone, online. Now you're at
a theater to get away from all of that stuff,
away from all these distractions, and you get even more
ads on a gigantic screen that you can't ignore.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Now he says, just get rid of them.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Now does he mean just the ads, like you know,
ads for businesses and things like that, or is he
also talking about the trailers, Because I know you've ranted
about the trailers as well, Like I enjoy trailers, but
it's gotten to the point now where the trailers playing
eat up about half an hour or forty five minutes
before the movie even starts.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, so I think he's only talking about the co marshals,
the ads that run before the trailers, though I do agree.
I feel like trailers used to run and the the
theory used to be, Oh, you could show fifteen minutes
late before you know the movie starts, if you're running
late to a showtime, and that's fine, you'll be there,
you'll be able to see see the movie the beginning
(18:17):
of it. But now it's stretched to twenty twenty five,
thirty minutes and thirty minutes of trailers where you're like,
I got things to do after this. And on top
of the trailers that run this extended period, now you
also have and I've given Imax, you know, you know,
I've critiqued criticized IMAX for this too, especially for you know,
(18:38):
the IMAX showings or the Dolby Surround sound showings. They'll
have like another minute or two minute, like like hype
up video telling you like you're about to.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Experience IMAX like never before. Sounds never before.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Like, I'm already in the seats, I'm already in the theater.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I've already bought tickets for this said experience. You don't
have to sell me. I'm gonna be so don't do that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
So that's that adds more to the length and the
time and the waiting, and so yeah, we need to
cut down on this. Trim it down, please you.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
You would have loved this. I don't remember what it was.
One of the last movies I went to go see.
They had the amc ad where like the people are
dancing with the Coca cola and whatever, right, and then
they had Nicole Kidman. Right, they had the Nicole Kidman
a mc ad you know movies feel great, heartbreak feels
great in a place like this. And then they had
another Nicole Kidman ad like doing the exact same thing,
(19:34):
was slightly different like dialogue. And there was like three
of them, three of them in a row, and the
people around me were all groaning like what it's like,
I know, Nicole Kidman is beautiful, but come on, like,
why why are there two of the ad mads in
a row and the other a MC thing? And right,
(19:55):
the the like IMAX or Adobe or you know whatever. Intro.
But I personally am a big fan of the trailers.
I don't mind how long the trailers take. But yeah,
I think we can trim the fat off off of
pretty much anything else. Now you mentioned like trivia and
(20:16):
stuff like that. You know who does it really well
is uh, you know that place if you talk, they
kick you out Draft House, Alamo Draft House. They have
their own they have their own pre show entertainment that
they produce in house for for the movies, and it's hilarious.
(20:37):
So I always say, if you do enjoy that sort
of stuff, try to make it out to Alamo Draft House.
It's really cool. Just don't get kicked out.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
No, don't talk, don't text, don't disturb. But speaking about
the trimming the fat and trimming unnecessary things, you know,
there are some short films that beat some other two
and a half three hour films that are out there
just because they trim the fat. They focus on what's important,
the story, the beats, and you know, they get you
(21:07):
in and they get you out. And I'm curious, what
do you think about what these movie theaters in South
Korea are experimenting with right now? Because they're experimenting with
what they're calling snack films, and what snack films are
are as I mentioned, like short films, anything that could
run to an hour, forty five minutes, thirteen minutes, things
that are are short, concise, sweet, straight to the point,
(21:30):
but enjoyable. And so right now they're offering up these
snack films with lower ticket prices, citing they say, quote
the format has been fueled by the popularity of social
media and demand for brief but engaging contents, And I
think there may be a market for this, especially in
big cities where you have, say you're out with friends
(21:52):
and you have like an hour an hour or so
to kill before you go into the movie, to a theater,
to a bar, to an advent or what have you.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
You're like, oh, what do we like?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh there's a there's a thirty minute showtime over here
at this movie. Let's go pop in, pop out. And
I think that might be a good way to entice
people who are done with.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
The two and a half three, three.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
And a half hour movies. They're like, Okay, I just
want something digestible. I want to get in and out.
And then it got me thinking, like, who else made this,
these snack films be useful for and it may be
useful for families who You mentioned that you have two
children and they kind of differ when it comes to
watching movies. One I think you said, Desi is the
(22:33):
one that can sit and watch a movie in its entirety,
and Nikki, after like a certain point, may be like
a little wiggly in the chair. This may be for
families who like, hey, we need to get in watch
something enjoyable and then you know, and get on with
our day.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Kind of a thing. What are your thoughts on the
snack films theory?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
All right, I've got two thoughts on this, and I
do agree. I think this would probably be the most
successful for families with kids. And you're so funny, You're like,
oh and Nicki wiggles in his chair. Nicki, okay, climbed
over the back of the seats and wedged himself between
the wall and the recliners in the movie theaters. So
(23:14):
like he he gets into trouble right when we're in
the theater. You take your eye off of him for
a second, and yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
No house for Nicki.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
No no, no, no, not for a while, not for
a while. The boy has energy, it's it's fun but
also terrifying. So yes, I think that that would be
really successful for movies. And like we've been talking about,
theaters are looking for ways to be sustainable to make
more money. We love the theater going experience, and I
(23:44):
would love for them to find more ways like this
to think outside of the box to bring in more revenue.
And you can also turn around your theatergoers more often.
You're maybe you're selling these movies for a little less money,
but you can get more people in and out, more
people in and out. So I'm down for any kind
of ideas like this that will keep theaters alive and thriving.
(24:08):
Also really great for filmmakers and indie filmmakers, people who
otherwise might not get the opportunity to have their film
in theaters. Something like this would be I mean a
really really great opportunity for up and coming New York
indie filmmakers to have a partnership with theaters and create
(24:30):
this kind of content. My only gripe James with this idea,
My only sort of like little gripe with this is
that are we really as a society heading into direction
where we can't even sit through a whole movie. Like,
I know people's attention spans are shrinking, but I don't
(24:51):
know if I want, personally, like my movies to shrink.
Like I want to go there and be there for
the full experience, spend my three hours and my dollars
there for the whole experience of relaxed throughout that time.
But pros and cons, pros and cons.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, they're definitely pros and cons. I think a big
pro would be yeah for the people who want like
a shorter experience in the movie theater. Again, a good film,
it can't be just a you know, like a bad
short film, but hopefully a good film of a good substance.
But a three dollars price tag, do you have two, three,
four people with three dollars each. That's a really good deal.
That's a really really good deal, especially if you're doing
(25:31):
like a family fun night or even like a date.
Say if you're going now with somebody you like and
you're like, hey, let's go get a movie and a dinner.
Sometimes you know that's a big commitment, like an hour
and a half two hours for just the movie plus
thirty minutes of commercials. They'll get me starting out on
the commercials and the trailers. But add that together and
then you're like, Okay, let's go and have dinner. Now
I'm like, now dinner, Like this is this is how
(25:52):
long are we hanging out? This is our first date?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Like I want to get in and out. I don't
want to.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Invest too much time on the first date. And so
this could be perfect for like, yeah, like high schoolers
or people just starting to test the waters with somebody else.
I gauge their their their endurance for a film, and
also how aboud do they do in a film? Because yeah,
and I joke about this and it wasn't really the case,
but I joke with my wife that on one of
our first states, we went to a movie and she
(26:18):
may be of a movie talker maybe, And so we
joked that that was close to being a deal breaker.
And so say, for example, yeah, you're like, hey.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
That is a deal breaker for me.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
You go to a movie, forty five minutes you find out, okay,
they're they're a movie talker.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
This, uh, this isn't gonna work out. I may in
and out.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So pros and cons, pros and cons. So hey, look
I think this is cool concepts.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, yeah, but if I'm going on the first day
with someone, I want the whole experience. Okay, I wanted
to dinner. I want the three hour movie. I went
to this set and the other thing. But it's so
funny you mentioned that about your wife. So one of
the worst dates I ever went on. And I'm not
I won't say the guy's name, good friend, good good
(27:04):
friend now, but he very energetic person who we went
to go see one of these Superman movies, one where
a Superman has a kid with Lois Lane. It was
a very long time ago, and he not only talked
throughout the entire movie, he loudly was ragging on this
(27:26):
movie the entire time, and like everybody was like looking
at him and and shushing at him and trying to
get him to shut up, and he would not stop
the whole entire movie. So, uh, yeah, movies are a
great place.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
To test goodness. I feel stressed. I feel stressed.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
So that's why we should talk about what soothes us,
what comforts us. And in a time of electing our
future in America, let's talk about what what helps us
forget the good and the bad, maybe just the bad
in the world.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
And uh topic is comfort movies and TV shows.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
That's right, because I feel like we're we're all, We've
got all this tension right right now. People are dealing
with the vitriol that is the election and the NonStop
bombardment of ads and whatnot, and I think sometimes we
just need to step away, We need to take a
(28:26):
deep breath, things in perspective and realize that, you know,
we're all okay. Okay, So James, not only are comfort
movies something that can just take you away for a
little bit, comfort movies are things that can actually heal you, Okay.
They are things that can that that can make your
life better. And I bring you this example. I had
(28:48):
a uh, I had a sense I had a martial
arts instructor.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Sounds awesome.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, Michael Veltrie's sense who was actually a cancer survivor,
and the way that he got through his chemo therapy
was was watching funny movies. Was just watching funny movies NonStop.
And there is research games that supports the fact that
making yourself happy and diving into these comfort things increases
(29:22):
all of those good hormones, decreases stress, lowers inflammation in
the body. So I'm just telling you these movies not
only do they make you feel good, but they can
actually you know, change your physiology, heal you, what have you.
I'm gonna go all the way out there and say
like these these are your healing movies, not just your
(29:44):
comfort movies, but but in the in those times, James,
we're gonna talk about what you and me find the
most comforting. What is our go to? I'd love to
know what other people's go tos are, but if you'd like,
I can kick it off. Yeah, with my I feel
like my number one comfort movie that, no matter what
(30:05):
is happening in my life, will will put a smile
on my face and take me, you know, out of everything,
is The Princess Bride. You know, from from start to finish,
I could probably tell you know every line of dialogue.
It just makes you smile, and it's it's simple but
adventurous and fun and joyful and joyful in the in
(30:29):
the filmmaking and all aspects of that film. So The
Princess Bride, I feel like, is on a lot of
people's list. What's what's on yours?
Speaker 3 (30:38):
That's a really good one.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I think if you know the hop on Hollywood, I
think you'll know some of my favorite movies and might
go to two comfort movies or or of course Paddington
Paddington One, specifically Paddington Too.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
They're just so wholesome.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
And those are movies that when I you know, when
they're out in the in the theater doing their theatrical run,
I thought, yeah, there's a kid's movie about a bear
based off this series of books, and never would have
guessed that they were actually really great films, some of
the best films I've actually seen. And not only because
it has a great storytelling, great characters, but it does
(31:19):
really put you and myself specifically in a really nice
mindset where I feel like, you know, when you're watching this,
you feel comfort, literal comfort, you're laughing, you're feeling emotions,
and you're just enthralled by the characters and the genuine
goodness that they have and love for each other, and
that love if you could feel a radiating off the screen.
(31:42):
And so those are movies that whenever if I'm feeling
down or if you're having a rough day, I'll pop
it on, maybe not pay attention to it fully because
I've seen it in a million times, but it will
be on the background but just having it there with me,
I think that's it brings a great comfort, and I
know it brings a lot of people great comfort as
well too, So that's why I'm really looking forward to
Paddington three, Paddington in Peru. But Paddington films, they're fantastic, Yeah,
(32:06):
feel good.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Movies, excellent. This other comfort movie that honestly was called
out in the Barbie Movie. It was one of the
funniest moments of the entire Barbie movie just because of
how seen. I think it was criminal, how they called
(32:29):
everyone out. Pride and Prejudice. Okay, Pride and Prejudice is
something that I feel like a lot of women have
in common, obviously based on the Jane Austen novel of
the same name, but there are a lot of versions
of Pride and Prejudice. I am talking specifically about the
(32:49):
BBC dramatization version the limited series because it's the best
version by far, the nineteen ninety five drama from the
BBC that is my go to. It's so beautifully done,
well paced, the characters are are are amazing, and it
(33:14):
just makes you feel good and the payoff is so perfect.
It's delightful. It's delightful. So whenever I'm particularly stressed, my
husband will come downstairs and find me watching that for
the millionth time. It's just it's an easy go to
and it makes me feel better every single time.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
No, that's awesome. Yeah, that's uh. They've made They've made
so many different versions.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
So I think there's like each version is somebody else's
comfort show or movie, and so I think that's really
good that, you know, people harp. There's so many remakes
and and I think it's different based you know, for
movies that are based off books.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
But yeah, I think they're you know, different versions.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
People have that specific one that resonates most with them
that they you know, that they find soothing and they
love those those actors in those roles. So that's good
to hear that. That's your that's your pick. My next
comfort movie go to is a movie that came out
just last year.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
I was raving about it. I want.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I think it was the best film that I saw
last year, and that is The Holdovers starring Paul Giamatti
and Devine Joy Randolph and Dominic Cessa the great movie
about the curmudgeon league instructor from New England in Massachusetts
who remains on campus with with the school's cook as
well as the student, and they are holding over their
(34:40):
holdouts holdovers I guess on I don't know proper sentencing,
but they're stuck at school during Christmas. And then you know,
throughout the film, they in the beginning, they you know,
more so the teacher and the student, they don't get along.
They're very hot, I want to say, hostile towards each other,
but they don't under stand each other. They're just tolerating
(35:02):
each other. And then by the end of the movie,
through their stories and tellings and experiences, they come to
respect each other. And it's a very heartwarming seasonal Christmas
movie that I really really really loved. And so that's
one movie that is definitely now in my rotation from
now on.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Wonderful right that the thing that's kind of getting me
through these days, these final days of the election right now,
and I've talked about this in our last episode as well,
is one piece. I feel like the Netflix live action
(35:44):
version is one of the best adaptations of media ever,
right from taking the source material and making it into
live action, right and it's all about adventure and friendship,
enjoy and loyalty and overcoming adversity and being there for
(36:06):
each other. And in the live action in particular, just
every single frame is so beautiful that it just it
makes me my eyes happy just just to look at it.
I'm also going through the entire anime. But if I
had to pick an anime, which which I love that
(36:26):
is my go to comfort show where I can just
throw it on mindlessly, smile NonStop and feel good, it
would have to be Or on High School Host Club?
Is this anything you've ever heard of? Noay's good. So
it is very good. It's about this, uh, this girl
(36:48):
named hot dou He who ends up in this super
wealthy school and she's there on a scholarship. She's the
only like poor person in the school and she gets
sucked into this club, into this host club, and host
club is a thing in Asia. It's like you treat
young women and you make them happy, and like that's
(37:10):
your job, and so how do he's actually pretending to
be a boy to pay off a debt in the
host club by making other girls happy? And it's just
it's a super super super cute, happy, joyful show. So
Or on High School Host Club? If I had to
pick my one most comfort happy joy anime. It would
(37:31):
have to be that awesome.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
My next I guess yeah, my next comfort show would
be if you heard the show Psych with James row
De Rodriguez and Doula Hill. I don't know many seasons
they have, but they have many seasons and several psych movies.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
That's a great, great series.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
And so basically if you don't know what Psych is,
it's based off this character who is very observant and
and pays attention to very key details and kind of
like Sherlock Holmes, where he can like eventually deduce and
help solve crimes just by you know, looking at details,
and he's very attentive to that. However, he is pretending
(38:15):
to do it with psychic abilities psychic powers, and he
does that because in the first episode he like lies
to law enforcement saying he's psychic for you know X reason,
and then he gets off you know this this this
thing he was accused of, and then he has to
just go with it or else they'll be like, oh,
you lied, You're not psychic. And so that's basically the
whole premise of the show. And he does it with
(38:36):
his with his best friend and they go off. It's
like a serial series where each each week is you know,
the crime, the solving crime of the week, and has
a great supporting characters, great acting, super funny, super lighthearted.
It's one of those like those like TBS. They're called
like always sunny shows or like daylight shows, I forget
(38:57):
the term, but their show is kind of like Monk
or shows like burn. Notice those shows, those serious where
it's it's just it's it's there's enough drama and like
really fun police work and detect work in there, but
it also doesn't take itself too seriously and it's it's
such a great show to have on whether you're watching
it for the millionth time or it's on in the background.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Psych is one of those great conference shows, right.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
And the last one I'll mention on my list, James,
is a musical. I know it's one of your favorites too.
Is Just Hamilton. The Hamilton that they've got on Disney Plus.
They put it up on Disney Plus during the pandemic
to bring joy to people and to make people not
too but also to help give people access to this,
(39:45):
you know, amazing show that otherwise most people might not
be able to pay to go see a Broadway show,
but it just made it that much more accessible when
everyone was stuck in lockdown. But that's another one that
you know, any given day, I can just throw it
on and it's playing in the background in my house
and you know, dancing around the house doing what I've
(40:06):
got to do, because you know, anything lin Manuel Miranda
Touches is just magic and gold and fire. So I
love it. Hamilton rounds off my list for top comfort
movies and shows to throw off.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
All right, all right, I think that's all I have too.
I think I've had to throw one more in there
and be Coco.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Great film, great movie, very emotional, so at very an
I'm always usually crying. But it's a very very nice, beautiful,
visually stunning film. Cocoa, which is in rotation perfect. Well,
