Little Muppet Sesame Things #97

Kermit: All I can see are millions of frogs on tiny crutches.

This line is the start of Max's road to a heel-face turn. His little "Crutches?" comment is sadly adorable as he's realizing that this whole organization isn't right.

And we see him trying to fight back, but he hasn't reached that level of thinking for himself fully.

Doc Hopper: Max, I've done my best with that frog, now's the time to do my worst. Open the door. Max: No, YOU open the door! Doc Hopper: What? Max: I'm through, Doc. The frog is right. You're asking him to do something terrible. I can't be a part of it. It's a moral decision and I'll stand by it. Doc Hopper: I'll double your percentage. Max: I'll open the door.

You're not there, yet, Max, but good attempt.

Also:

Doc Hopper: Listen, we're a small business but we've expanded. Expanded! Just like you frogs expand. Don't you frogs expand? [puffs his cheeks] Kermit: That's a myth. Doc Hopper: What? Kermit: Myth! Myth! Myth: Yeth?

Hi again, Carol.

Joe the King

Summary: A semi-autobigraphical account based on the life of director Frank Whaley and his brother.

Minimalist bridge between fiction and non-fiction with bleak cinematography and excellent performances all around.

Rating: 3.5/5

A BEAUTIFUL MIND 2001

Imagine if you suddenly learned that the people, the places, the moments most important to you were not gone, not dead, but worse, had never been. What kind of hell would that be?

290 - The Front Page (w/ Roxana Hadadi) (70s Spectacular - 1974)

1974 brings us to one of the final films of Billy Wilder, which also reunited a screen duo beloved by both Oscar and audiences, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. Vulture writer Roxana Hadadi is back to the show to talk about The Front Page, an oft-adapted farce about newspapermen getting wrapped up in the case of an escaped convict. Most famously retold in a gender swapped version in His Girl Friday, this version stumbles to deliver the best of this director-star trio and missed Oscar's good graces despite multiple nominations in the decade for Mathau and Lemmon, including Lemmon's win the previous year.

This episode, we talk about the victory lap made by Francis Ford Coppola with The Godfather Part II and The Conversation both earning Oscar love. We also talk about the film's apoliticism was atypical of the moment, our love for Ingrid Bergman's Supporting Actress speech, and the hubbub over the acceptance speech for Best Documentary Feature Hearts and Minds.

Topics also include disaster movies becoming the splashy Hollywood product, The Godfather Part II Supporting Actor nominations, and Anderson Cooper talking about his mom hooking up with Marlon Brando.

What’s Up Doc? (1972) Peter Bogdanovich

January 16th 2023

[wdr2-rlbmut]

From Zeus DVD: Skidoo (1968)

Director - Otto Preminger

Writer - Doran William Cannon

Starring Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, & Frankie Avalon

Producer and director Otto Preminger reportedly experimented with LSD in the late '60s, which inspired him to make this notorious comedy in which Jackie Gleason plays Tony, a mid-level gangster and former hired killer not very happy with his life. He bickers a lot with his wife Flo (Carol Channing) and isn't sure what to make of his daughter Darlene (Alexandra Hay), especially since she started dating a hippie named Stash (John Phillip Law). Two of Tony's superiors, Angie (Frankie Avalon) and Hechy (Cesar Romero) order him to get arrested, go to prison, and once behind bars whack "Blue Chips" Packard (Mickey Rooney). Though he's not pleased with the idea, Tony grudgingly goes along, but once inside, he's accidentally dosed with LSD by counterculture activist the Professor (Austin Pendleton). His consciousness expanded by his trip, Tony leaves his violent lifestyle behind him and with the Professor's help plans an escape after turning the entire prison population onto acid. Certainly, your only opportunity to see Groucho Marx play a character named "God," not to mention a supporting cast that includes Slim Pickens, Peter Lawford, George Raft, Frank Gorshin, and Arnold Stang, Skidoo is also remembered as the film in which Harry Nilsson sang all the credits.

Little Muppet Sesame Things #95

Doc: Max, follow that frog! (Max starts to drive off, leaving Doc behind) Doc: MAX! (Max backs up) Doc: Follow that frog with me in the car!!

First of all, Charles Durning was a great villain here. Second, I love these jokes.

Also, Max is adorable.

📽️ Uptown Girls (2003)

Have you ever watched a movie when you were young, and you can remember snippets of it but never the whole thing or the name of it, and you spend years wondering what the movie was until you finally find it, and it’s nothing like what you thought you remembered even though you’re sure it’s the right movie? Yeah, that was this movie for me. I did not remember Brittany Murphy’s character being so annoyingly immature. And Dakota Fanning’s character is a total brat. Even though both of those character traits are main parts of the movie, and they do get better at the end, they’re still tough to sit through. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy the movie. It ends up being very cute, and both characters help each other. The teacups scene is especially touching. I would probably watch it again.

Sex/nudity: 3/10 (upper female back and side nudity, some sexual content with the adult lead)

Language: 3/10 (the little girl flips people off several times, a lot of God’s name)

Violence: 2/10 (comedic fighting, some slaps/hits/kicks)

Overall rating: 6/10
