Step right up to the time-warping carousel of sound and culture as Mark Smith, Lou Calico, and I whisk you through the neon-lit corridors of 1980. Our 140th episode is a technicolor tapestry of the year's groundbreaking albums, from Genesis to The Durutti Column, with a playful detour through the top 10 fashion faux pas that still have us chuckling. We're tossing the script aside and doubling down on memory lane, playing games and sharing laughs with you, our live audience, in a celebration of the era's pulsating beats and pop-rock anthems.
As we wade through the vinyl-rich waters of 1980, we'll reminisce about the unmistakable riffs of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" and debate whether Joe Perry's solo flight did indeed let the music do all the talking. Our banter veers seamlessly from Springsteen's "The River" to the hidden punk influences that shaped music's trajectory, laying bare the raw energy that bridged genres. We're not just about the past though; we'll spar over modern-day cinema, comparing Tarantino's tense frames to Hitchcock's mastery, and even question if Margot Robbie's portrayal of a 'sunshine girl' could be the new benchmark for blonde bombshells.
Don't let the hindsight of four decades fade your love for the electric '80s – we're here to rekindle it with tales of 'Dirty Mind' and 'Wild Planet', both albums that still echo in today's airwaves. We'll explore the quirky side alleys of forgotten TV shows, speculate on the best directors left Oscar-less, and even ponder the eternal debate: sweet or salted popcorn? With Mark and Lou by my side, we guarantee a rollercoaster ride through the sights and sounds that shaped a generation, peppered with the kind of insights only friends sharing a mic can provide. So, lace up your high-tops, tease up that hair, and let's crank this nostalgia up to eleven.

Lou:the stove there. No, I grilled burgers and asparagus.
Scott:That's what we did Imagine if Lou did it from his kitchen and in the background you see a fucking jar of ragout lit like the brand. Ragout like which? Is the bottom of the line. Like sauce, you get prego before you get ragout.
Lou:I think Francesca Rinaldi is below ragout. Even what's that? Francesca Rinaldi is a step below ragout. Yes, I agree. Of course, if that did happen, there would be a hit put out on me.

Scott:Let me see I got it. Was that mine? That was mine, right, yeah, yeah.
Mark:Actually, scott. Scott, I'm going to be honest here. You went out of order. You did Lou me and then you. You should have been the second. So really I should give war to you.
Scott:Oh, you're an honest man. Okay, so brother Johnson was.
Mark:Lou, yeah, you said me and I just totally forgot. I thought I went out of order.
Scott:I was like how? Did this go so far and you get gallery. Yeah, so all right. Well, this changes things a little bit, changes the dynamic. Lou.
Lou:Not for me. You're out.
Scott:So, once again, lou is the judge. So Mark has gallery. Oh, it's so nice to be with you. Right, he has Jefferson Starship miracles. Only you believe, like I believe. Your favorite. Like God. That's a great song, but what's your third one, mark? Do that to me, one more.

Mark:Dim all the lights by Donna summer Big hit and Pacific gas and I, like I don't even know the name.

Mark:I could put it on.
Lou:There's the judge Well based upon, we know of it.
Scott:I'll give it a shot. Yeah, take that mother.
Lou:Captain, captain, captain, it's just too bad.
Mark:No cursing your dad's watching. Yeah.
Scott:Not for that.
Mark:All right, 45s until next week.
Lou:Four in a row. So what was that? Ps Public service elected.
Mark:You put it away, I got it All right.
Lou:Well, I'm sure they don't have a whole bunch of hits either.
Mark:You know, lou. If you didn't know it, nobody knows it, because you know everything. I've heard of the band, though, yeah.
Scott:Yeah, all right. So we got that out of the way. Let's jump right into the albums of 1980. Yeah. Albums of 1980. There it was. It was a really good year for albums. I'll tell you that yes.
Mark:Yep yes.
Scott:Really good year. So the first album. I'll just jump in with the first album that came out in 1980. The Romantics debut album. The Romantics Now I know they get they catch some flak right, but when they first came out, they, they, they were putting hits out on the radio Hell yeah, you still hear what I like about you.
Scott:Exactly, you still hear, and I hear secrets that you keep when you're talking and you sleep, you know. So that came out on January 4th 1980. Oh, wow, yeah, right away. Like these, some of these record companies I guess, probably it's like movies they just like we have a release date and we want to be the first ones to put it out. Yeah, you know who knows? Yeah, but Mark, what do you have? Give me an album from 1980.
Mark:I'm going to go with their transition over to pop, and they did a damn good job. Genesis Duke.
Scott:Yeah, well, that has my favorite Genesis song on it. Yeah, yeah. What do you think it is Misunderstanding? No, no, it's on.
Lou:Duke On Duke, behind the lines, no no.
Mark:I'm pulling up these songs.
Scott:Turn it on again. Yeah, yeah.
Lou:That's on Duke Okay.
Scott:Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on again. That's a great song it is. If you haven't listened to that song and you listen into this podcast or watching it, go listen to that. Turn me on. Turn it on again.
Mark:And I used to love Genesis In the 80s when they would do it as their encore. He would do a whole Motown medley. At the end they would just go on for like 15. Yeah. Really.
Lou:Turn it on. Turn it on. Turn it on. No, that's a pop song, but the time signature is in the playing. It's not straight ahead. It's very those drum fills down, down, down down. It's not typical. No, it's not. Oh, they crushed over the pop. It's still kind of proggy, it's just in the unusualness of the rhythm.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, in the keyboards, heavy keyboards in there. Yeah, you know when it was like, when was the 80s? That was the beginning of it.
Lou:Yeah, well, they were kind of a keyboard band a lot of ways. Yeah, all right, lou, oh, blue Oyster. Cult Cultosaurus Erectus.
Scott:Yeah, no one here Like you love that album, don't you?
Lou:Yeah, I love that band. Yeah, I love it too yeah. They have a new album coming out.
Mark:Really.
Lou:Yeah, yeah it's. They took all these older masters that they're redoing stuff, so it's got a lot of original lineup on it Should be interesting, Should be interesting.
Mark:Give them credit. Two years ago they put out a new album, All New Songs. The Symbol Remains. It's amazing, it sounds like a young band.
Lou:It does, and the album before that was the one, scott, you mentioned. One of the worst songs of all time. On it I've got the name of this.
Scott:Oh, that album cover.
Lou:That album kind of destroyed them too. They didn't make an album for like 20 years after that.
Scott:That was I said it was the worst album cover ever. And then there was some song on it.
Lou:There was a song on it. Yeah, it was like what the fuck? Terrible From a once great band.
Scott:There's no better way. It was probably I don't know this band's last big hurrah. Maybe Jay Giles loves Stinks, yeah Right. They came out with. Does that have a centerfold on it?
Mark:No, that was centerfold.
Scott:That was the name of the album. That was the name of the album.
Mark:Yeah, stinks was Stinks. That was the big hit off. That was a big hit.
Lou:Yeah, and it was Come Back, baby, come Back.
Scott:Yeah.
Lou:So that came out in 1980.
Scott:Mark.
Mark:I'm going to go with one of my favorites of the David Lee Roth era, women and Children. First, it's such a loose album More talking on it than any other Van Halen album and it just jam. There's really not many songs on it. Great album, right. That's a quick album, right. All of them are 30, 35 minutes. Yeah, that's true, I could never understand wow, it's money. But why didn't they put Van Halen one and two on one CD yeah, women and Children First, and Diver Down on another? They could have easily done that, yeah.
Lou:Yeah, lou, the Ramones Into the Century, produced by Phil Spector. Okay, murderous Madman, it's got a rock and roll high school Baby, I love you on it. Do you remember Rock and Roll Radio?
Scott:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lou:They were a poppin'.
Scott:Let me see. So this band I and this is going to be part of our conversation of you know new music that we've been trying the Ramones suck Todd's right. So I heard I caught this song and it's from a group called the Darudy column. You know what a Darudy column is, lou, I don't need that. I never looked at it. I thought maybe you know. I don't know what a Darudy is, but this song right here is what caught my attention. So that's kind of the undertone of the whole song. Girls get a beautiful voice and I was like huh, this sounds like you know something current. No, this band came out like 1978. Wow, right, and I'm like it's pretty hot ahead of their time, even for the 80s. Yeah.
Lou:Right, this sounds like a 90s, or whether they're still around, but yeah, it sounds like something would have been more modern, or yeah that yeah, and their first, the interest. The intro sounds familiar.
Scott:It's a it's a great song. The song's called future, perfect there you go. It's a really good song. Yeah, right, but yeah, this album came out, the return of the Darudy column in 1980. I was like, wow, wow, you know you hear these bands. You don't really, you know, you don't think much of it because you're trying to gauge it by the sound. Yeah, yeah, you know and you're like all right then. They've been around since that for that long.
Lou:You know a long before that. Probably too, because the first album came out in 80 or whatever. Yeah, yeah, it's a Rudy column.
Scott:Where are they from? Yeah, d U R U T T I is an American man or? Yeah, yeah, american man. All right, mark.
Mark:Mark His first solo album, but not my favorite. The second was Ozzy Osbourne, blizzard of Oz with Crazy Train, of course. That statement in heavy metal.
Scott:Yeah, that fucking launched him into the stratosphere and he never looked back, never Like Ozzy. No matter what he did, he never tumbled, it seems to me. Lou, would you agree? Disagree, I agree.
Mark:Yeah, he had a few stinkers on his in his discography, but he always had a touch of them, though it never, never comes back to haunt. And he didn't put out a truly bad album. They just didn't sell a lot, you know right, he stayed through the whole grunge. When metal fell out, he stayed popular.
Scott:Yeah Well, having the Osbons didn't hurt your attention. You know that was a train wreck. You know every one of those families that were on those reality TV shows, like Gene Simmons and his and his girlfriend there, shannon Tweed, and they all, like Jessica Simpson and her boy. They all ended up breaking up. Yeah, now Ozzy and Sharon got back together, but they did break up for a long time, did they?
Lou:Yeah, yeah.
Scott:He was. He was banging his assistant, she was banging him. One of the other.
Mark:But yeah, that was a big thing that they were, they were powerful like a year, and there was a daughter that didn't want to do the Osborn. There's another daughter, kelly did it, but there was another one that refused to be a part of it. She probably made a wise decision.
Scott:Yeah yeah. She's got millions waiting for it. She probably got millions in her bank account right now. Go one of them, like black Onyx cards or whatever they're called. Buy a country with it.
Lou:What's the, what's the son's name?
Scott:Jack, jack, yeah, yeah, he him, and they did something together for a little while watching A ghost show. A ghost show, yeah.
Mark:There was a where they were traveling in a in a Winnebago, and they remember did you ever see the episode? They went to where they make Tabasco sauce on the road or something and Ozzy sneezes in the vat and they well, my vats gone.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, and the producers had no problem paying for that whole thing. You know, right, right.
Mark:Right.
Scott:Because reality is not real reality, right, that's all there is to it, right? Who's up? It's me, I just Lou.
Lou:Yeah, the second record by the neck, but the little girls understand. Oh, you know there was a single after I thought was not a bad song, called can't put a price on love, and I was had like a Stones Stonesy feel to others. A pretty good song from there, you know it wasn't. No, the rest of the they get criticized for their creepy lyrics, which they had, they had, but it just it didn't match the follow up and that's pretty much all that was for them.
Lou:You know they still made records but that was considered a disappointing, considered the first record was a smash and they were supposed to be the next Beatles.
Scott:Yeah.
Lou:Yeah.
Scott:Um, that'll doom you. You know what came out in 1980? The monster, the monster, monster song, and it's a song that that affected an entire generation of white people, of white people. All right, sugar Hill gag gave you help.
Scott:Yeah, that, that is what that. That didn't. That blew up the walls to the suburbs, Just blew them up every, every party. You went to every and they you know it was mostly white people. I was with, yeah, that they would play that and even the most hardcore heavy metal dude would be tapping his toes because, because it was so original, it was just nothing like we'd ever heard before in that sense of music and, uh, you know the lyrics and telling the stories. That brings you right into the stories. That's what. That's what was good about the writing of that song. It was poetry. It put you right there. Yeah, do you have a go to your friend's house to eat and the food just ain't no good. The macaroni soggy, the chicken, the chicken's all soggy and the peas just taste like wood. Right, it just puts you right there, you know, and it was just a great, relatable song and it's still, to this day, a monster. People play in a club, people dance. Yeah, it's timeless. Rap is delight.
Lou:It's produced by Sylvia. I forgot her last name. She was a, a Mickey and Sylvia.
Scott:Smart woman right there. Yeah, that girl. Yeah, she got that song for free. Dude gave it to her. This, this rapper in the neighborhood rapper. He's like yeah, yeah, that was the writer of it.
Scott:He wrote the song, yeah, the lyrics, and she took it and got those guys to sing it. Oh, okay, and then they, she produced it with the uh, you have that album from that year? Yeah, yeah, todd sent me his records, um, and that's how that became like. And then the dude was like yo, uh, that was my song, like you gave it to me. Well, yeah, you gave it to me. So rap is delight was a fucking. I mean that just prints money for that lady. To this day she did some other things too.
Scott:She was a pretty shrewd woman. I don't know if this is, wrote she wrote Love is Strange.
Lou:You know that was a. That was a big hit single. We always searched these.
Scott:Yeah, yeah.
Mark:Now Lou, I met her. She came up to CPI in like the early nineties they tried to relaunch that whole thing and she came up and she handed me the. I held the original mix down, you know the two track and uh, but it didn't go anywhere. It was the wrong time in the nineties. It just was not a good time to release something like. They should have waited another 10 years Probably. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lou:Very nice, let's cut, said it was. It was a big thing for white people.
Scott:Oh, that, that again. That's what brought rap into the suburbs. Yeah, that song was what brought rap into the suburbs.
Lou:I think that invented the white guy overbite dance Can you show us oh yeah, yeah, the bottom lip, the bottom lip, the fist goes out and your feet do not leave the floor ever, because you'll fall I think I'm going to bring that back.
Scott:I think I'm going to bring that style back. It went away. I guess it's in eight, in white people, it's just in eight. Yeah, it's in our DNA. Although. I'm pretty smooth dancing because I always had some of us white boys have some rhythm.
Lou:That's why we do, we do, we do, we do. I'm a drummer man.
Scott:There you go, buddy.
Lou:There you go. That was recorded in West. Was that West Orange, new Jersey?
Mark:Yeah, yeah Now when Sylvia came up, they were living. Her and her husband were living in Anglewood. They were actually no, they always lived in Anglewood and so it was a quick trip. So a lot. Yeah, that was local for us, you know all that stuff.
Lou:Anglewood was a big town for a lot of Black celebrities. Any questions?
Mark:Yeah, and musicians Miles Davis was coming over there early on and Stan I can't remember the guy's name the studio, the jazz studio, who was there? It recorded a lot of those Blue Note albums. It's a big music town.
Scott:Oh, okay, go right.
Mark:Who's up Me Gonna go with the first jam album I ever heard. Sound Effects came out in 1980, contains a song that reminds me very much of the Taxman Start, and of course that's Entertainment is on that album.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, another one of those songs that has a happy kind of upswing, but if you listen to the lyrics it's a little doc kicking the balls, the little doc. Yeah, not a happy song. Yeah, it just tells it like it is.
Mark:And you know, someone gave me their record of it and it was so scratch, but it didn't skip. You ever have one of those records. Yeah. And when I got a CD I didn't like it. I liked the scratch version better.
Scott:Well, yeah, that's what you grew up with, right? That's what you got used to, lou.
Lou:Yeah, Rush. Permanent Waves.
Scott:Yeah, we talked about that last week. We did, yeah, monster that that launched them.
Lou:Yeah, I think they were known for the term at that point.
Mark:Salesman.
Lou:That was. That was what you heard, spirit already. What the hell was that?
Scott:Salesman Good call Salesman. Echoes with a sound. Now I'm never going to fucking hear that song right again. You just built in an airworm for me.
Lou:Good it leads into the guitar solo too. Yeah, yeah.
Scott:Oh man, let's see what do I got here. So this album well, he was already. This launched them into the 80s. Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band against the wind yeah, that was a big record. I've heard like the song against the wind and I've heard talk of this before. It kind of rivals night moves as far as people you know which one do they like better. You know, night moves doesn't have a runaway with that. I've just heard people compare it. It's in the same level against the wind. It's one of those timeless songs also.
Lou:Do you have a preference between the two?
Scott:Well, I like night moves, that's just you know that record has a better time.
Lou:I like the time, the record is better and I mean all the musicians on both records. He's a lot of Memphis guys, yeah, on that in his own band, but I mean, I just think it's our main street.
Scott:Yeah, our main street, or the fire down below, yeah, you know, but then hook is, it's always down a main street. About a stripper, right? So he was, yeah, he was digging his Detroit, you know tight pants points. Yeah, all the room. Yeah, let's see what do you got, mark.
Mark:Well, so Ozzy came out with his first solo album and Black Sabbath continued. They got Ronnie Dio and they did Heaven and Hell Another one that helped usher in the metal in the 80s. These were just big albums.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, lou.
Lou:I'm going local here, local New Jersey, the Phillies, the band the Phillies. The album was Crazy Rhythms. There's their debut album, quirky Record, indie Pop, very Velvet Underground. They backed up Blue Read at the bottom line in New York for a bunch of shows. They're great bang. They're almost like a guitar. They had guitar gems in Indie Rock when it wasn't cool to do it, yeah, but they were really good. So they had a couple like five minutes songs. They weren't long epics but we're really good. Their second record was produced by Peter Bach. Okay, ram, good Earth, but yeah, they were really good. They're still together, actually, but never got to see them. I don't know Peron, I were both fans. I don't think he saw them either. But good local band, good New Jersey band. All right.
Scott:Dave Phillips, king of the 45, just commented in off of Night Moves Her Stret Great song. Just love to watch her strut.
Lou:The way he wrote it is her strut, her strut.
Scott:Should be an umla over that you. What are they saying? Should be the umla.
Lou:The umla, the double dots, it looks like. It looks like German, he wrote the professor knew it was an umla. Not talking to Western umla or Denver umla, we're talking a regular umla.
Scott:Oh, this, this, this was a biggie. This one was a biggie in 1980 and it's still today, is a big, uh, a big album. And uh, scott, let's see one, uh, two, three, at least three hits on it Glass houses, billy Joel. Yeah, you may be right, don't ask me why I'm still. It's still Rock and Roll to me, um, yeah.
Lou:Big transition form too, right. Yeah, there's some good album cuts in there too. Yeah, remember, all for Lena, all for Lena.
Scott:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Lou:That was his rock album. That was his. He was like a rock album. Yeah, yeah.
Mark:Uh, what do you got, mark? Uh, one more metal album, another one big one for Bridge Steel by Judas Priest. I had Livin' After Midnight Breaking the Law. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and it was recorded in Ringo Starr's house. He had a studio in his house, I can't remember the name of it. It's kind of odd, you know. Yeah, yeah.
Lou:Yeah, lou, the police Zenyatta Mondara. Yeah, my favorite police album.
Mark:Is it yeah?
Scott:Yeah, that's, that's a good album, that's a good album. Um, that, that's the second album, right, the third, my third album. The second one was out. No, the first one was out. Lando Stia Moore.
Lou:Regatta de Blanc was the second, then Regatta de Blanc.
Scott:That's right. Yeah, you know, I was up with all that.
Lou:Then it was Penne Regatta.
Scott:Geez Blanc blanc. Oh man, all right. So you talked about a local band earlier. Right, I did. Yeah, the Phillies, the Phillies. But we had our own local release that year, 1980. The Joe Perry project came out and let the music do the talking. Yep, let the music do the talking, I like his version.
Mark:I like his version better than the Aerosmith version.
Lou:Yeah, yeah Did they do it after him or before him yeah.
Scott:After right, oh really Right.
Lou:I remember his, his he had a radio and I got some radio play.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, he did he kind of made a little bit of a movie. He was always touring around New England and you know, but never really caught the national spotlight, you know. But he I don't know how much money he had at that point from Aerosmith. I'm sure he had enough to survive on?
Lou:Probably survive him, didn't he probably snorted most of it. Probably, yeah, yeah, yeah, he had contracts shot most of it.
Scott:Yeah, and I think that album only had that one hit on it too. No other songs from that album really were released by the record company. I don't know, I just remember it being. You know, everyone was like the Joe Perry project man, and I was like what's fucking 15, you know 16. So you know, we loved it. But not much longevity, though Not not a lot of longevity with that one.
Mark:I remember the cover because I was like 11 years old and I was with my sister in garden state Plaza, went into Sam Goody and you remember they used to an album came out. They would put like 20 of them on the wall. It just was like it was an interesting album cover.
Scott:He's. He's in a board meeting, like right at a big glass table Yep, right. And all these guys in suits sitting around and like cool Joe Perry and his like denim shirt or whatever. He was the coolest. He was pretty cool dude. Yeah, yeah. Now he plays with what the Hollywood vampires right? Yeah, yeah. So all right, mark.
Mark:I got to stick with metal. Iron maidens first album came out in 1980. Ah, okay, Beginning of the new wave of British heavy metal starting. You know, was it called iron maiden? Yeah. With the song iron maiden, yeah All right look.
Lou:Bruce Springsteen the river yeah yeah. Double album. Yeah yeah, and the drumming is all over the place at times, is it really?
Lou:Oh yeah, oh yeah, I noticed it after the album max the great drummer, but he had to address some. He was in a slump. He said so making that record. So the tempos go up and down and we're here at Cadillac Ranch. If you listen to the end, you can't rush it fast enough. It's that's the sax part of the end. At the very end he just does these three hits on it but it's just completely rushed. But even out in the street it's not that steady. It's very live sounding. I think it's a great performance a lot of ways, but it is very yeah, some things were just a little little shaky there.
Lou:He had playing in the studio was a little more difficult for him at that point of being live drummers, you know he can rush things around. I've heard live Springsteen from that period and some of the songs are so fast. Well, yeah, it's almost. Yeah, it's almost weird. I didn't like the uh that live set. He put out the 75, the first Bruce's first live set In like that. No, no, I thought the band sounded weird at times.
Scott:So is it not up to him to keep that under under control?
Lou:Well, it was once they were listening back to tracks from when I I've read I guess it's they said you know you're, he had a tendency to rush the beat.
Scott:So he said, but they don't notice it. Like Bruce Springsteen was supposed to be like this attention to detail guy. He didn't catch it. He didn't.
Lou:While they're playing it on, they said what worked live did not work in the studio at that point. So when? But they put the album out. But I don't know if you know how would happen with that record. And you know, I think when that came out, you know maybe he didn't notice it, I would think they did, but they just did what they could. I think, yeah, you know, because that was he did it, bruce did that, and then he did Nebraska, yeah, and then didn't do much until born in the USA. But he even said born in the USA, he goes.
Lou:Max was the best thing about it. So max went to, he took lessons of, he said it with Bernard Purdy and didn't you know other things, just to address it. But he, max, said he goes. I was relaxed all the way down to my wrists and then he started speeding up. I know what it's like, you know some it's a hard thing not to do. But he said it was the drum fills. Where he was, he would start to rush the beat and then it was. It was a runaway train. So I think Bernard Purdy wanted to drum. I said when you do your fill, keep your bass drum going. So max. So when he do a fill, he would stop playing the bass drum and then get into it and that was a problem. But if he kept his foot steady, it's like a metronome, it kept him in line. It's simple enough idea, but you know yeah implemented is another thing.
Scott:Yeah, pete Townsend empty glass record so well. Probably one of my favorite Pete Townsend songs, rough Boys, it's a weird song.
Lou:When you listen to the lyrics it's a little bizarre, it's totally gay, isn't it?
Scott:It varies very gay, yeah, even the video even the video has like those gay uh undertones. Yeah, yeah, remember the video. He's just following this kid around the, you know the thing, and it's kind of a creepy song, but it's a great song. It rocks, yeah, it rocks, and he's he's in peak form with that. Yeah, that also had let my love open the door, right, right, um, yeah, it's so the album. I think they had like three songs that were released off of it. But uh, supposedly he imagined if the who did Rough Boys.
Lou:I can hear Dolter saying it Right.
Scott:So evidently he withheld these songs from uh because they did a who album, face dances, face dances which was what's that? Oh Jesus, um. And supposedly he withheld some of these songs for his own album. So it shows you where he was at, wow, when Pete Townsend was at at that point in you know, with the band and in his career. Uh, he's like I need some hits If I'm gonna go solo, I need some hits.
Mark:You know and Lou compared drummers. He had Simon Phillips on that album playing drums who they should have drummer when, when Moon died.
Lou:they should have got Simon Phillips, oh he played with the who.
Mark:I saw him when they did. I figure what Torah was, but he played one tour with him and who was he explained to the audience Uh, simon Phillips started. He was with Jeff Beck and then he went to. He played all over and then, most recently, toto. He played with them for about 20 years. He replaced Jeff Piccaro. He's that good, um, and he's can be fusion. He's like fusion gets into that stuff, but he can play a good rock beat, great rock beat.
Lou:So when he was on town, that stuff after.
Mark:Yeah, Uh, no, the who. He was with the who, like when they're one. I think the fifth farewell tour.
Lou:Well, what I'm the Townsend do on barefoot, there were all the best cabbys of Chinese eyes. That might be Simon Phillips on that.
Mark:Yeah, I think he's on that album.
Scott:He was a good album too, yeah.
Mark:He was Pete Strummer for a good long time. Yeah, yeah.
Scott:You know what one of his best songs is and it's never played on the radio, in the video is fucking great for it and the song is just gets like. If you're driving and you hear this song, put it on tomorrow when you come. I'm telling you this fucking song will get your toe tapping and get your bouncing in your seat face to face. Yes, yeah, yeah.
Lou:You must have heard, and it's this bill, right, yeah Right. Who's the girl in there? His daughter. That's his daughter. Okay, that's his daughter. Yeah, watch the flakes.
Scott:Yeah, watch the flex.
Lou:Yeah, and she's in the video too. Yeah, he was on a bit of a roll right there at that point in the early eighties, that song though gets you that fucking get your pumping man. It's a driving song.
Scott:Yeah, yeah. And then do gets hits in with the harmonica and it just gets bigger and bigger, like the song literally grows, build, yeah, you know, to the end it's just one big crescendo. If you, if you haven't heard it in a long time, people, and you listen to this face to face by Pete Thompson, and if you're not tapping your toe or bouncing in your seat, then there's something wrong with you, something seriously wrong with you.
Mark:And don't dance like this.
Lou:Wait, if you have to, what the white guy?
Scott:overbite, the white guy overbite.
Mark:I think I do it better. All right.
Scott:Everybody do their version of the white guy overbite doing it. Whoa, that's going to be an outtake right there. That's going to be a clip That'll be put out on Facebook tomorrow.
Mark:Oh boy, I just look like a dead head.
Lou:I'll put some like I'll put some rap song on and I'll just add on a loop To make sure we're really out of time.
Scott:Yeah, exactly that's what's going to the milk crates and turntables presents the white guy overbite dance party. White guy overbite dance party. All right, who's up, I am.
Mark:All right, an album that I can listen to all six sides, and I don't get tired of it, but a lot of sides. Sandinista.
Scott:I love that album. The call up is one of my favorite songs. A lot of people do my call I want to die. Yeah, right, yeah. What else is on there?
Mark:I don't know songs by titles and owned by the rhythms. It just it was had a few dubs on it. And that's what I love.
Scott:It was the rare three album set.
Mark:Yeah Right, they did two in a row, though Didn't yeah. Yeah.
Scott:Well, no, what was the? What was the next one before it? Combat Rock, combat Rock was that was, that was, that was after.
Mark:Yeah, they did a they didn't know three records, said I wasn't London calling three records, or was London calling was two. Okay, all right so, but they did five records. When you think about it in a couple of years, right, it's pretty wild.
Lou:All right, lou Tommy, two tone. Oh man, with the hit, yeah A con a conic at eight, six, seven, five, three or nine.
Scott:One of the great one hit wonders.
Lou:Check this out. Scott, I thought so too. Apparently not. He had another song in 1970 song it was Angel say no. It cracked the top 40. I never heard it. I don't remember hearing it no, top 40 is a hit Okay.
Scott:Yeah. Let me see something here, that that that came out. Yeah, all right, it's my turn. Yeah, yeah. Well, the clash London calling that came out on January 1980.
Lou:That was an okay, I thought it was 79.
Scott:No, well, it was released in the UK in 79. Okay, in December of 79.
Mark:So the same year on the cost.
Scott:So they stopped the year off, with London calling, and then they the same year they do San D'Anise. So the five, five album five albums right there.
Lou:A real punk band wouldn't do five albums in that minute.
Scott:They couldn't About a triple and a double, but they, they start. They see, they weren't. They got caught up in that punk. That's like I always say Tesla got caught up in the hair metal yeah. But they're more intelligent than him.
Mark:They were more talented yeah.
Scott:And more talented they just got caught up in. So the clash had the punk look in, the punk attitude, right yeah, but their influence was punk, reggae, rock, rock, like they incorporated it all. So they were that really their own animal. They were their own. They were an island unto themselves, and that's what made them great, is they were that they had that much. They can go in any direction. They love scope and they had rhythm. They liked rhythm. Yeah, you know, I liked them.
Lou:They were very talented, but not slick.
Scott:Yeah, mick Jones goes on to do big auto dynamite. That's all rhythm music. Yeah, yeah, it's all got beat, you know, and it's all. I mean, it's just that's, and that's what made them so great. So they weren't real. A true punk band can't make two album where they could think it just go and release an album. I guess they could.
Mark:I always said real punk sucks. I don't like punk music because it's got. You're supposed to be out of tune, You're supposed to be at a rhythm. That's not my thing, you know. Another band that got lumped in was the jam. They got lumped in with the punk scene.
Lou:Yeah they were, they were, they were lumped in with punk Others more than they were.
Mark:Yeah, In the 70s they were. They were lumped in with the punk. Yeah, it was that English movement thing.
Scott:Yeah oh, everything was was looked at and it depended on how they dressed and how they acted. I mean, punk was an attitude. Yeah Right, they blondie was never punk, right, but they were in that group with, you know, the CBGB gang, you know a long talking edge would never have a punk, but they had a punk attitude.
Scott:They had that kind of a wild streak in them. They did to be different. They were going against the norm of sound. You know what was going on at the time, which was disco, and you know and stand in pop, bals and rock.
Lou:And talking heads were a total art school.
Scott:Really they were a total art school band, yeah, but they were CBGB's regular, which that's how they get that label. But blondie was never punk. I can't see that. I never really agreed with that. They liked it. They liked having that label because it was publicity for the rock and roll band. They were rock and roll band and they put out pop hits. Yeah, you know, when they wanted to stop making money, they got smart.
Scott:Tied his high Tied his high Fucking hard to class Rapture. I love Rapture, rapture. Yeah, as campy as it is, it's, it's. It's again one of those iconic songs, yeah, just like the Tom Tom club. You know uh and uh and her husband from.
Lou:Chris Franz.
Scott:Chris Franz and they, they did, you know, uh, then it, that, then it. James Brown, yeah, they went in that direction and that's that was.
Lou:That was a weird song in our team and I was.
Scott:I'll tell you what there's still another fucking song, just prints money for them.
Mark:Yeah, it was sampled by Gangster of love.
Scott:Yeah, Gangster of love that's. I mean, that's just prints money for them. What's his name?
Lou:Miller, the gangster of love.
Scott:Yeah, you know, I saw a thing today, yeah exactly. I'm going to get a little bit off but I saw this thing today, this little documentary on Massey star, right Fade into you, right, and so I'm always curious. So, uh, the guitar player, the guy that started the band he was like eight years older than her, her name is, uh, he's a Mexican girl, hope Sandaval.
Scott:Hope Sandaval Pretty little thing but shy and you know very, uh, yeah, yeah, and she, they did it that way. They did a. They did a show in Australia on time in 2018 and it was in the dark, like they had a screen on behind them and they were just in the dark, like, so you had to be there to listen to the music and they. They kind of got beat up on social media. And then there was other people that loved it, because you're there for the experience. But so I got curious. I'm like so Nasi star never really made it. They had that one big hit and that fucking song is one of those songs, right, when everybody listens to it, right, yeah, again, even the most hardcore metalhead listens will listen to that song and they're car by themselves and, um, she's worth $3 million, wow, and you know it's all from that song, yeah.
Scott:Because they came out with. You know, they, they, they took a break, they, they made music together but then they didn't want to release it A very kind of very independent, uh type attitudes that they had. As far as their music, um, yeah, she's worth $3 million and it's not because of album sales. Well, that album, but that song that that song was on is a good album.
Lou:Yeah, that's always a fade into you.
Mark:Yeah, in the nineties, all those overly dramatic teenage soap soap dramas that were on at night, you know, like Dawson's Creek, they all use that song, all of them, yeah, movies, remember the video.
Scott:Yeah, she's just kind of staying in the desert. It's very yeah, yeah, and it's just her Nothing.
Lou:The band like they all died.
Scott:Really.
Lou:No, she's alive. They all died of cancer is weird, but she's still alive, I think there was only her and the guy I forget.
Scott:I forget his name. Yeah, the guitar player, but there was.
Lou:There was like the backup. There was a drummer and there was there was a core there. But yeah, there was a core there. A friend of mine is a big fan of them and we're talking about them and he goes. You know, they're all. Everyone in the band is dead except for her. But you know, and young, unfortunately.
Scott:Yeah, and she, she was from a family of eight. She was the youngest of eight kids in LA. She like grew up in like the most popular drug street in LA. Her brothers, some of her brothers, were gang bangers so they never, she never got bothered, you know. But she, you know her father was like into one type of music. The mother loved Mexican music or sister loved father loved jazz and big band. The mom liked, loved her her Tejana music and like her sister was listening to like rock and stuff like that. So she had all this music going around and nice girl Like she was just a shy little thing you know with the, with the very like mysterious, a little mystique about her dark hair dark eyes, yeah, just not active on stage, like all about her voice.
Scott:Which kind of built that?
Lou:whole thing and when you, when you hear that on the radio and then you saw the video, you know you're, she pulled you in.
Scott:She had this very, very alluring you know it's again, she's not hard to look at, which is another reason you just kind of it's kind of mesmerizing yeah.
Scott:You know, she's not like Deborah Harry, who was one of the most beautiful women ever to play music in her, in her like prime in her younger days, and I fucking I know women get upset when I say shit like that. I said something like that the other night around some women that, some friends of mine, and they I said something about a girl. You know women starting like in their fifties they're older and it's and they all went what Like I was like oh, I really misspoke and they let me have it, buddy.
Scott:Five of them. Let me have it. Oh, what do you know? You're a man.
Mark:Oh shit, that's almost as bad as making Italian jokes on Facebook.
Scott:Let's get back to the albums. Let's do a. Let's do a couple more.
Mark:Okay, the first time I heard them on Casey Kasem's TV show remember he had this TV show where he showed this top 10. Well Hall notes. Voices came out, so I had kiss on my list. You make my dreams come true. You've lost that love and feeling every time you go away. Then there was an unreleased track called I'm going to burn your house down someday. Never been heard, but they just recently released it.
Lou:That's what John Hall is going to play when he burns Darrell's house down for these royalty.
Mark:I was joking with that unreleased track.
Lou:Are you? Where are you?
Mark:Yeah, they did like good, good songs on it. That was their big pop come. Yeah, they just went total pop in eighties on that.
Scott:Yeah, yeah.
Lou:Lou. There's a shit ton of albums that came out. There's so many good ones there, I know, but we're already into an hour here and right.
Scott:Never get out of it.
Lou:Right Diver straights making movies. Or third record, yeah, produced by Jimmy Iovine. That was, that was a good in New York. And make a rock record with Roy Bitten of the East Street band and it's got. It's got a skate away on it.
Scott:Good rhythm, that's your favorite. Tune right, that's my favorite. That's my favorite, that's my favorite. Diastrates.
Lou:Romeo and Juliet. There's one. There's one clunker on the album Les Boys.
Mark:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lou:Not to be confused with rough boys. No, rough boys kids, it's another kind of thing Not to be confused.
Scott:That's what he mentions.
Lou:You know, it's about an old male dancing troupe in Berlin in 19th.
Mark:This is weird. It says something in French. It's a clunker. Les Boys, hey, john A or something, yeah.
Lou:Yeah, it's like yeah, the album is all great except for that one fucking song. It's just terrible.
Scott:I hate that when you have an almost perfect album. I listened to Sinead O'Connor's the Lion and the Cobra again yesterday and I, you know, even the worst song in the album is a fucking good song, like it, just it's. And I say it when I say it's a perfect album to me, because every song is a good song. Some are better than others but they're all listenable and in the way it was produced and the way the tracks were put together it fits, because it kind of takes you on a little bit of a ride. You know it's just such a fucking great album but you know you get those albums like Lou just said, and the Dio Straits album great.
Scott:And then there's that one shit song, shit song on the album and you're like, yeah, you know if you're sitting in a beanbag chair with fucking headphones on eight feet away because you got the long stretchy cord you're not going to get up to go change one song.
Lou:That's the thing you never get up from a beanbag Once you're in the beanbag. I had an orange bean, my brother was saying that the other days.
Scott:He said I was always in that orange beanbag chair in our middle room with the headphones on, with all the albums, and I would just sit there and listen to music. When I was a kid, he even admitted. He said I was pretty advanced for a, you know, 10, 11, 12 year old kid. That's why you're doing what you're doing now. Yeah, well, that's it. It all stored up in my head.
Lou:Yeah, I was ridiculed by elder siblings for singing Moon River around the house. It's a beautiful fucking song, man, I wouldn't have. I wasn't listening to Moon River, but I knew about it. I'm a little older than you, Scott, like seven years older than me. Now, no three. I was 12. That's what you were saying the other day. I'm doing good for an eight year old you know what came out in 1980?.
Scott:What's that? Tp, the album TP.
Mark:Tom Petty Nope.
Scott:Nope, one of the greatest voices of a generation, teddy Penegras. Oh yeah, he left Harold Melvin in the woods when Soul came out with TP right and the name of the album and the song off the album, the big hit, looking for another love TKO, love TKO. With the great Bobby Womack on there, right, bobby Womack, yeah, buddy, no, so underrated. Bobby Womack does not get, he gets the credit in the in, like you know that songwriter, songwriter category. I think. But his voice, that dude's voice, was giant.
Lou:He wrote a voice. J Gallo's covered looking for a love. That's a Bobby Womack song.
Scott:Yeah, listen to Gorillaz. What's the name of the song? I'll send it to you. I'll send it to you guys. The video's good. The video's got Bruce Willis in it. But that's one thing that Damon Albin is good for. He'll bring in these like legends, and he came in and had it in Bobby Womack's like, yeah, man, I'll do a song in your album, you know he goes by Hamdog.
Lou:What's that? He married Sam Cooks widow.
Scott:Did he really?
Lou:Yeah, and then then married the daughter after oh shit, Wow. I didn't know that I. I was wondering who Bobby Womack was. I remember like hearing about him in all these R&B circles and I knew that J Gallo's covered that song. I read about him. I don't know if he was in Sam Cooks backing band or like so. He married the wit is Sam Cooks widow, I think not long after Sam Cook was. Sam Cook was a hand dog too.
Scott:That sounds like something off the off the podcast. Disgrace Land. Right, it sounds like a story off of that. You know, like how he. You know it's always that one moment. That's what I love about that podcast Disgrace Land. It's always one moment in the career, not the career. It's like one moment in time in that career. You know, he said they did a great heat. The guy did a great Sam Cook episode.
Lou:You know, does he believe there was a conspiracy in Sam's death?
Scott:I heard it a while back, but you gotta go back and listen to it, it's, it's a good.
Scott:He breaks it down pretty well, he tells the story and he, you know, and it's done really, really well. That's an admirable podcast in my eyes. But you get, you know, podcasts like that you need money. You're really doing. You need people that are like. You know, you got to strike lightning, yeah, yeah, like that, when my buddy, phil Kelly, told me about that. No, this was six years ago, Right, and for a while, uh, disgrace Land had a, had a like a singular contract with Spotify, I believe it was. And, um, like that, one got like podcast, best podcast of the year. Like it really like skyrocketed, yeah.
Lou:Um, so they got sponsors now and then the whole.
Scott:Oh yeah, I mean it's it's, it's a big, it's a big podcast, yeah it's, and it's done really well and they're not like over the top it's. He found that niche, yeah, and they're like that one story which I mean we could go in a direction one episode and say give me a story about you know whatever.
Lou:You mentioned buddy Holly's glasses. Yeah, you know like that. They fell off his face in a plane crash and went to a field, ended up in a file and they're back in his ex-wife's, his widow's, rather his. Uh yeah, and it's been a museum, I mean Yep.
Mark:Yep.
Scott:All right, Mark, what do you got?
Mark:Well, this is how I sneakily put two into my final. I was going to say Goucho from Steely Dan, cause Lou loves the bass drum sound on it so much. But I'm going to say another album that announced the beginning of some new, something new in the eighties, with Dirty Mind from Prince Uh, that was to Ian, an album before that.
Scott:That's a good album. That's a great album.
Mark:Part of the Prince say eighties was here.
Scott:Uptown is on that album. Um, let me see. Uh, what is it Dirty Mind Uptown? Uh, what's the track listing?
Mark:Uh, held on, that's what I'm getting to. I shoulda Dirty Mind.
Scott:That's when he really started like getting attention when he has the duster jacket on and the fucking stockings.
Mark:It's a picture on his first album isn't too good.
Scott:No, no, no.
Mark:Dirty Mind. When you were mine, do it all night. Got a broken heart again. Uptown head yeah, they used to play that a lot in Boston.
Scott:Uh, party up and got to, got to got to party up.
Mark:Yeah, yeah, only 30 minutes long, only 30 minutes yeah.
Scott:Dr Fink is the only guy the keyboard player that stayed with him through all those transitions.
Mark:Did he have the surgeon mask?
Scott:Dr Fink, look him up, he was ahead of his time, wasn't he the dude? The dude was talented, evidently, if Prince is keeping you around, then you. Then you got some talent. Yeah, like there was some there was. He had probably a little bit of say on how things went also. Yeah.
Lou:You know cause Prince would go through these bands? Yeah, A lot of keyboard guys put things together.
Scott:Yeah Well, Dr Fink did pretty good with Prince. But whatever, I'm gonna desk Dickerson Not after after. He kind of left that nothing.
Lou:Really Nothing, yeah, studio work or something.
Scott:Yeah, probably studio work.
Lou:Yeah, so his voice was kind of cool, contrasted to Prince's. Yeah, he had that low gutter roll. Yeah, that low voice yeah.
Scott:Yeah On a party on 1999, right.
Lou:Yeah, yep.
Scott:In controversy. He played on controversy too.
Mark:I totally didn't realize something. I totally slipped there, Dirty Mind. I thought it was the second album. He had two albums before that. For you was his first album in 1978.
Scott:Yeah, yeah.
Mark:Wow.
Scott:Yep, did all his own music, did everything, yeah, all the instruments, everything. What do you got Lou?
Lou:Let's see Peter Gabriel's third solo album, just called Peter Gabriel, known as Three with a Melting Face.
Mark:Oh, is that Sprat Okay.
Lou:With Games of that Frontiers. That was a big song in 1980.
Scott:Oh, it really was. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mark:I just thought that when I heard it and I was a kid, I thought they were saying she's so fucky. I thought they were cursing on the radio.
Lou:Sure Sasha plays with Britt.
Scott:Yeah, all right, I'm going to end this segment with one of my. This is a tough call Now. The first B-52's album was fucking great, right, a great album. But the second one that came out in 1980, wild Planet, it has Potti Out of Bounds. Give Me Back my man, which is my favorite B-52 song, private Idaho, right, oh yeah, yeah, strobe light, but this song, this song right here, this is one of the greatest songs ever.
Speaker 2:There we go. The Skies Are Charcoal, gray, fred, it's a dreary downtown day, but at the end of my 30-foot leash my little friend Keesh. Keesh La Poodle is her name.
Scott:And having a good time on a grumpy day in our game. Keesh La Rae, keesh La Poodle my 30-foot leash has anybody seen? Let me see I got to get that part on. This is definitely getting taken down. I'll probably get a strike from you two.
Mark:All this work into the show for nothing. I'm sure.
Scott:Let's see they usually just they block that part out. I think yeah.
Mark:So they're going to see us with no noise gone. That guy, you're right, that's part of it.
Lou:Mark did you read that pitchfork article I sent you, michael Stite. No, I haven't read it yet, I can send it to you too. He talks about records that influence him, and he mentioned the B-52s. He goes they couldn't do Run Touchable.
Scott:Who said that?
Lou:Michael Stite oh yeah. Yeah, he's talking about early records. You know, patty Smith, he mentioned the B-52s. He goes. They had such a huge influence on R-E-M and that whole scene. You know they were.
Scott:They need to be in the Rockwell Hall of Fame. I agree, I agree they need to be. I think the time of that everyone you know the quirkiness and other they have to be kind of thought about as influential. They toured for a long time. They still put out albums, they're relevant. They're relevant.
Lou:They survive tragedy. They survive, tragedy.
Scott:They have record sales they have. I mean, there's no reason. Again the time for them to say, oh, you know the people like, oh, it's just, it's kind of kitschy and it's kind of like no, they need to be taken seriously, because the music is really good too.
Lou:They have to be a great party band.
Scott:Greatest party band in the world. That's the role of that. All right, we've done with that.
Scott:Done with that segment. Let's move on. Let's do this. All right, I'm going to need one of you guys to keep. I'm going to need for you to keep tabs, because you make the call, you make the call. It's kind of changing it up a little bit this week, so let me see when is it. Here we go, all right. So I'm going to give, I'm going to give you guys a or the three of us, a choice of four picks. All right? No, I'm going to. I have four picks, four choices. I'm going to do two at a time and the winner of each one. Then we go into the final round.
Scott:So for instance, the first category is best director, to never win an Oscar. You make the call. Okay, I'm going to start Mark and this is the. I have four names. This is the first two and the winner will go.
Mark:Are you? Are you saying that some of these are wrong answers?
Scott:No, none of these are wrong because they none of them. These are always. It's never a wrong answer, okay, and you make the calls Never a wrong answer. So you make the call best director, to never win an Oscar, and you make the call for the Hitchcock or Stanley Kubrick Best directed to never win an Oscar mark.
Mark:I'm gonna say a lot of people would say Stanley Kubrick because of the movies he made, but Hitchcock set a precedent as a director. So I'm gonna go with Alfred Hitchcock.
Lou:Okay, Lou, I agree. Did Hitchcock ever make a clunker? Kubrick did I? Think. I think I was right. It shows bad, really awful. It's kinky, whatever. No sexual chemistry between the two stars.
Mark:And they were married.
Scott:Yeah right sure they were. So you're going with Hitchcock. So you're saying that the birds is better than 2001?
Lou:I think all you know what I mean Like so I think all body of work, I mean you know they're both iconic, but Hitchcock came around the television show. Remember Hitchcock presents.
Scott:Right, but he was just a presenter in those.
Lou:Yeah, but he was the director of them. Influenced by him, though.
Scott:I mean, I'm just throwing it out there. It's tough Full metal jacket is probably better than any Alfred Hitchcock movie.
Lou:I think there's. Well, you have to go back to that.
Scott:Different types of movies, so I shouldn't really say that I would just say for the time that Hitchcock was making movies like Psycho.
Mark:when I was little I saw it in a freak V-Out, but I can only imagine what people said when it actually came out that year. That was gore, that was gory. Same with the birds. That was pretty heavy stuff for the time it came out.
Scott:Yeah, imagine if Hitchcock was around when the shining could have been made. Think of that. Yeah, right Was the shining, you know because there's Stanley Kubrick.
Lou:There was good things of the shining too, from.
Scott:Stephen King. Well, Stephen King didn't like that version of it.
Mark:Did you ever read the book? There is a lot more in the book than the movie, but that's usually the case.
Scott:Yeah, I'll go with Hitchcock. I'll go with Hitchcock again. Psycho is the the like, the horror movie, right, all right. Part two here, best director and now the winner of each one. So Hitchcock is gonna face off against the winner of this. You see where I'm going.
Lou:I see where you're going, okay.
Scott:Gotcha All right. You make the call, best director, to never win an Oscar, quentin Tarantino or Ridley Scott.
Lou:Is this for best, best director.
Scott:Best director to never win an Academy Award.
Lou:Tarantino, and who's that one?
Scott:And Ridley Scott, ridley Scott.
Mark:I love Ridley, I do. I love his movies. You know I, Quentin Tarantino, made my favorite movies of all time some of them and I was late in life when he made some of those movies, you know. So I'm going to go with Quentin Tarantino.
Scott:Lou. So let me just get a, let me see, let me do this first. All right, so Ridley Scott, his movies, like he made, let's see Alien, just so we can get it. So we did the dualist alien, blade Runner, legend Black Rain, dalmar and Louise Gladiator, hannibal, black Hawk Down, kingdom of Heaven, american Gangsta, prometheus, the Councilor, the Martian Alien, covenant House of Gucci Napoleon. They're coming out with the Gladiator too. That's a fucking mistake. What.
Scott:That's another conversation for another time so he came out with those movies, never won an Academy Award for Best Director, right, and so let's go back. And I probably should have done this with the other. Well, we know the other two and let's go with. So we have a reference, right, oh sure.
Mark:You give Lou all this reference before. Yeah, yeah, sure, I know, I know Thank you, I probably should have done this. In the first round.
Scott:We're gonna do more of these, though There'll be more of this. I like this kind of so. Then you have Reservoir Dogs, pulp Fiction, jackie Brown, kill Bill Volume One, kill Bill Volume Two, death Proof and Glorious Bastards Jango and Shane. Hateful eight, very underrated movie, yes, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I mean this is fucking hard.
Mark:That's Once Upon a Time. Not really something I did more, but so you're going with Quentin Tarantino, I think, in of all his movies, Jackie Brown's my favorite of his, but I think Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is one of the best movies ever made. Hands down, just love it.
Scott:So you're saying that's better than Gladiator?
Mark:I like it better. Do I not entertain you? I love Gladiator because it gives Lou his little thumbs up thing.
Scott:Did you know that's backwards? Did you know it's backwards? You know, we always look at thumbs down means to kill him. Right, the thumbs up meant to kill him.
Mark:Oh yeah, thumbs down means don't kill him. It means spare. It was a positive to kill him.
Scott:Yeah, but we do this like thumbs down, like kill him, like that's how you know that whole Mandela effect. Yeah, anyway, that's right. Yeah, so you're going with Ridley Scott? Yeah, mark no.
Mark:Quentin.
Lou:Quentin Tarantino. Lou, I haven't seen a little Quentin Tarantino's movies. I've not seen the Kill Bill movies, but I'm thinking on of all that list that you said of Ridley Scott's. I'm going Ridley Scott just on output Only, because I've not seen I've seen most of his movies. I've not seen most of Tarantino's movies, although, like, there are a couple of my like. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is my new favorite movie right now. You guys see, I mean it's so entertaining. I watched it with my son last night. It's a great movie. It is a great movie, yeah, great. But I mean you think about the impacts. A lot of those things I saw in the theater too, but Ridley Scott's, that even I never saw. I never saw a film on the movies. But I understand how important it is. But I think, just on what I know of him, even though I'm kind of going against my instincts, I think Ridley Scott, okay, okay.
Scott:I love Tarantino but I got to go Ridley Scott's movies. I got to. I just have to. Tarantino's a very entertaining and that they can be thought provoking. There's no better dialogue than in a Tarantino movie. I get Good point. Nobody can top the dialogue because that's a big part of what he does. That's why he tells these actors do not deviate from the script. He will not let it happen, but I told you last week.
Lou:He doesn't really know improv lines.
Scott:Not improv, but there was a few improvs in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Yeah, you know.
Lou:one of them was when Quentin Tarantino, when Brad Pitt said Beena from Boston, or whatever that one.
Scott:No, when Brad Pitt was in the car and Leonardo DiCaprio was walking away and he was, all you know, all upset and all nervous. And what was his name? Rick, what? Rick Dalton he goes, your Rick, motherfucking Dalton, that's right.
Scott:Don't forget your Rick motherfucking Dalton. That was because that whole character and I think I said this was based on Kurt Russell and his bodyguard and the story goes that's what Kurt, his stunt double, that's what his stunts double said to him, to Kurt Russell, your Kurt motherfucking Russell. That wasn't in the script but Tarantino loved it. And the other one was when DiCaprio goes into the trailer and he had fucked up the lines and he starts starting to fuck I fucking and he tears the whole thing apart, that was Ad Lib.
Scott:That's a very rare moment in a Tarantino movie that he let that go.
Lou:Wow, yeah, Good thing he did, because you know, watch with my son, and that's. I said what Cause when Rick Dalton's off camera he has a stammer.
Scott:Yeah.
Lou:And they never addressed the swore.
Scott:That's the beauty of that. They never addressed that.
Lou:No, they don't. There's no reason why they don't.
Scott:There's no reason why they just fucking. That's the brilliance of that. So and he goes, I'm gonna stop drinking.
Lou:And he takes a sip of the flask, throws it out the door of the trailer, but then when he looks in the mirror he goes I'm gonna blow your motherfucking head off. It's totally intense. You know it is. It's not.
Mark:If it's things in a movie that you say what read the book. Quentin wrote a novelization and he opens up a lot of things that you don't know in the movie. My little touch that Leo did that I like is, if you notice, cause he smoked a lot, when he coughed his lips were like he was like gagging. Every time he coughed, like either he was dying of emphysema or those red apple cigarettes were just like really bad.
Lou:Yeah. The one that was in the truck was hey, whiskey sour, just just get it. Just get it.
Scott:I evidently Bruce Lee's daughter did not like this portrayal. Oh no, she didn't, she didn't like that at all. She's like that never would have happened, but you know that's the legend. So all right, you're going. Goodnight, gentlemen.
Mark:Thanks for keeping me company on my drive home Big head talk.
Scott:It's rocket, my buddy, my friend, I love you, my friend, I'll talk to you soon. Enjoy the second half of the show and you're right into work tomorrow, Even though you are a pain in my ass. Yeah, so okay. So we, ridley Scott wins that one, cause it's two to one vote.
Lou:Tarantino's movies are kind of similar. He's not done a science fiction or anything I mean from Dustle Dawn.
Mark:He wanted to do Star Trek, remember? No, he did. He offered to do that. That never made.
Scott:He didn't direct Dustle Dawn, he wrote it. Yeah, he didn't direct it.
Lou:He was in it. There's this other song that says did Klingon storage.
Mark:Yeah, Robert Rodriguez directed Dustle Dawn.
Scott:Okay, let's see. So it comes down to this. Mark you make the call. All right, best actor to never win an Oscar, alfred Hitchcock or Ridley Scott Actor, I'm sorry, direct Too much coffee.
Mark:You know what, at this point I feel bad saying this. I think at this point I'll have to go with Ridley Scott.
Scott:Okay, lou you smoking them red apples, over there you coughing all of a sudden.
Mark:Yeah, lou, you want to. You want to bowl of ice? Yeah, I was like and there's less throat burn too.
Lou:I was like I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it, I'm not gonna do it. Let's, let's go. My name is Leslie Harwinkel. All right, lou, I'm calling for Ridley Scott, ridley Scott.
Scott:I'm going to say Alfred Hitchcock, I lose. You guys got the two to one because Hitchcock. Hitchcock was doing what he was doing in an era when nobody was doing it. Nobody could come close. He was so dominant in those years of making those nobody can make a horror movie or a very um, uh how can you put it?
Scott:Like, uh, psychotic thriller. You know, uh, nobody could keep you on the edge of your seat better than he did. Uh, the camera angles, the whole thing, and so I think he dominated more in those days. I just don't think the genre got the respect.
Lou:Yeah, it was from the.
Mark:Academy you know, psycho was so, uh so shocking. You'd think that would have won something, but you know what? It revolted a lot of people. The birds, Birds.
Scott:Yeah, like this is Stephen King before Stephen King, you know what I mean, by the way, worth worthless remake, was it?
Lou:was Vinsvahn's.
Mark:Vinsvahn's uh uh psycho. It was. It was like every scene was exactly the same. So why do it? And nothing against Vinsvahn, but why? Why?
Scott:Lazy.
Mark:Yeah, it wasn't hey, most of the.
Scott:They tried to appeal to a new generation, and the new generation can just watch the old movie.
Mark:Yeah, it's like it's not.
Lou:It was anti-cashable, you know.
Mark:I will say that prequel with Norman as a kid was really good. Did you ever see it?
Scott:No, I won't see those.
Mark:Uh, it was good. No, it was a series. Uh, I forget what station was on, but I showed him as a kid growing up with his mom and he saw the beginnings of his issues. Right and it was really good. And then the end of it is when he actually, you know, kills his mom. I just gave it away, but um.
Lou:Did you ever see? Psycho too?
Scott:No, I think I did, I think I did and it's not memorable, so it's pretty fun.
Lou:Somebody hits his mother and he has a shovel at the end of it. You know his, uh, his wife, his first wife, was one of the people in one of the World Trade Center, the second tower. Oh, yeah, it was Marissa Berenson. Yeah, oh, wow, whose wife? Uh, anthony Perkins. Oh, okay, it was. They were divorced at the time. Yeah, she was. She was a lot of movies. She just had a pretty good yeah, I can career.
Scott:All right, here we go. Best blonde bombshell. All right, I'm going to go with, uh, the first. I have four names. The first two best blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe. Or Farrah Fawcett Mark Marilyn Monroe, you make the call or Farrah Fawcett, best blonde bombshell. Oh, I think he's muted.
Mark:I'm gonna go sorry about that. I was pouring wine. I'm sorry, you know, I'm like a guy calling into a radio show.
Scott:Sorry, I was on mute. Why in this point, are you fucking shy about pouring wine? It's been a year. We've done a lot worse on this show.
Mark:It's only my second glass, colin. I'm gonna go with Marilyn Monroe because she set the standard for Blonde Bomb shell. She, to me, was yeah, so yeah, and I genuinely liked her more Lou.
Lou:I wasn't a big Farrah for us, the guys. I was Jacqueline Smith.
Scott:So I like Jacqueline Smith too.
Lou:I'm going Marilyn Monroe, I think iconic. Yeah, I just think, if you want to go just by bombshellness, I think she was more of the bombshell than Farrah. Farrah was a poster girl. I Don't right I think, but you know she had a blonde bombshell.
Scott:It's kind of like you know. So she was the blonde of the 70s though. Yeah, oh yeah, farrah Fawcett was.
Lou:She was Derek, who's a?
Scott:bow Derek to Bo. Derek came later, though that's later in the, but Farrah like really set me For the 70s need.
Mark:Neither was great, and then.
Scott:Cheryl T that poster.
Lou:Right, you know that's right.
Mark:Yeah, neither was great at acting, but Marilyn could do the acting, I think, better Farrah Fawcett Logan's run.
Scott:She was horrible as the new you remember she wasn't in it for long, right.
Mark:Yeah, yeah, no, she just, but still it's like her acting was very flat. Yeah, yeah.
Scott:But Marilyn was no, she wasn't fucking winning any award.
Lou:No, but she was the same character every time. Bubbly, yeah, I banged the president.
Scott:Yeah, that going for, and then they killed her for it.
Lou:So and then attorney general too, yeah, yeah, but yeah she. You know, I just think, as far as sexiness I I mean, farrah Fawcett was beautiful and stuff I think overall just earthiness, so that allure, that, what they call it, the the screen charisma, I think was Marilyn. Okay, all right, that's yours.
Scott:Although I gotta say Farrah was like the and I just said it a minute ago, the the Poster girl, for she set that whole trend For for boys to put up those posters in their room. That's that poster, yeah, that poster. And that set off, like I said, the Cheryl Teague's poster with her kind of, with that little bikini on, standing there with her hand on her hip, you know.
Lou:Mom clean a lot more sheets than she should. Because of that, yeah and Bo. Derek you know came along.
Scott:Though Bo Derek was just another Farrah Fawcett, right? So yeah, I mean, yeah, farrah, kind of. Hey, you know how. You know how Farrah Fawcett got that role in Logan's run, how? What's his name? The star, the British dude, david York, michael York.
Scott:Michael York Saw her. He was, he was somewhere at a like in a restaurant or something, and she walked by and he's like that is one amazing Looking woman and he was just like infatuated when he said she's got to be in this movie because he was making Logan's run. So they contacted her and that's how she got the role. Michael York, he had a term for her, but I forget what it was, but it was because he saw her just like kind of walking by. So you know, we saw our own posters on TV. We never saw her in real life, so you never really know. But Marilyn Monroe was the the Well, you know what? She wasn't rich, all right, she Dominated the 50s, like now, like Farrah Fawcett dominated the 70s. In that respect, I Guess I, but I got to go Marilyn. I guess Marilyn was. Does that iconic shot of her and the subway Great? Yeah, you know, when the wind blows up the skirt, I mean that's it.
Lou:So that was risque for the time yeah well, anyone ever read a song about Farrah Fawcett?
Scott:No, yeah. How can we sleep when our beds are burning?
Mark:Talk about a power couple, lee majors and Farrah Fawcett. What are?
Scott:fussing majors. Yeah, the four guy, all right. Pot two yeah, best bond blonde bombshell, you make the call Pamela Anderson or Mago Robbie.
Mark:Where's Margot Robbie from?
Scott:From side squad. She played Holly Quinn.
Lou:Barbie. She played on. Barbie she was Sharon Tate, and what's upon a time on.
Scott:Halloween, sharon Tate once upon a time in Hollywood. Yeah, oh.
Mark:Then I'm going with Margot Robbie. I don't have to think about it, I'm going. Really, yeah, I think that she has a way of Winking at you on the screen. She's got that cute demeanor. No, she's adorable, there's no doubt about it. And Goal me real, I never thought Pam. I know Pamela Anderson. She was doing a different kind of blonde bombshell, was a Little skivvier, you know, yeah, yeah, silicon. But Margot to me, this is my personally I think that she likes boats.
Lou:Hey, I saw the video. I saw Margot Robbie.
Mark:Yeah, I'm going with Margot Robbie.
Lou:Lou, I say Margot Robbie, I.
Scott:Gotta go. Pamela Anderson really, anderson, was you? You like boats? Oh man, you see the movie barbed wire? Yeah, she's just in latex and high boots. The whole, I mean Pamela Anderson, was a smoke show. She just did a photo shoot with no makeup. Like no makeup. If she's in her, maybe late 50s now, no, maybe right late 50s still looks good. She still looks good. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, oh, dean Farron's hand, when now he's doing what big head Todd the wet spark does. Oh, you can start the show now. Thanks, thanks. I'm ready to go to bed with Dean. Farron, who's the best bomb?
Scott:Blunt, the blonde bombshell from porno movies. But I guess so it's two to one. So you guys get Margot Robbie, and so Comes down to this who's the best blonde bombshell? Would it be Margot Robbie or Marilyn Monroe? Who's first? I go with Lou this time.
Lou:Hmm, I'm gonna Margot Robbie Mark, just based on my own preference. I.
Mark:We can't go by acting. Because it was acting, I'd go with Margot Robbie, but as far as just the blonde bombshell, I got to stick with Marilyn Monroe.
Scott:I'm gonna go up Margot Robbie. I just she is, there's something about her.
Lou:I get a hotty man. Yeah, she, they said when she did once upon a time in Hollywood. I said why does she have more lines? And Tarantino said he didn't want her to show what she was like without you know well the dialy she had dialyped with just how she went about her day.
Lou:Yeah, you know, just there's a side to Sharon tape, but you know she was like a sunshine girl, she was looking like a happy person, but yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that really came across, but there's a certain charm to her and then Dean Farron said Terry got, I loved. Do it. I had a fucking then, but she's not a bombshell, though she's beautiful, she was beautiful.
Scott:She's, really she's. Terry guy had a really natural, like very nice girl, wholesome, nice body, nice fit, like she wasn't like Pamela Anderson with the big lips and the no.

Lou:Thunder lips yeah he's great.
Scott:So okay, we'll do this. Rocky three or rocky one mark Rocky one.
Mark:It remains my favorite and I love some of them. I like the last one where he fought that young guy, tommy morrison, because it was just so sad to watch he was he. I love that he had. He would allow them to show rocky as a sad sack of shit. I love that. Yeah, but um, nothing beats that rocky one because it was rough around the edges. He didn't have so much influence over it, yet it was still. Whatever's the guy that directed, I can't remember his name.
Lou:Yeah, um, but yeah, john abelson, I think, yeah, yeah, blue tough one.
Scott:Rocky one or rocky three, you make the call. Hey fool, rocky three, all right, yeah, you know the two totally different moves they have two totally different feels to them. You know too. I mean, rocky three was over the top and it was entertaining and it had a lot of characters in it and had a real. You know it was the same formula, you know, as all the other ones the. You know, you got the. The. What do you call it? The protagonist? You know the. What's the opposite of the protagonist, the?
Scott:uh antagonist antagonist and it's, you know, uh rocky one. Was that hot, just pulling the hot strings and and the dog and you know it was very kind of low but you know they they wanted to pay him like six million dollars to not be in the movie.
Lou:Really.
Scott:Nope, he goes. I'm gonna be in this movie. This is my movie, Really Wow. Yeah, the studio is gonna pay him not to be in the movie.
Lou:Yeah well, he didn't wait, He'd not direct the first one.

Lou:No, he was john john abelson.
Scott:Yeah, but he. They didn't want him playing rocky right, they were gonna pay him to stay out of it.
Lou:They love the movie he's like no, they want ryan o'neill to play him or something stupid, you know it's a fucking movie executives, tv executives, they don't know record executives.
Scott:They don't know shit.
Mark:You know what was great about rocky one? The reason I picked it. I scott. Have you ever been to philadelphia? Shithole, south fruiting, gritty, gritty city that movie was? The gritty means is nice.
Scott:I'll tell you what you're right bridgeport, canada.
Mark:Kid is gritty. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I never was happy going to philadelphia. I always felt shithole dirty. They made that movie. Look like you were in philadelphia. It's not pretty, you know. Everything, even his apartment. The walls had smears on them, if you look close like yeah.
Scott:Uh, but I have to. This is a tough one for me. Um, I'm gonna go rocky three. I just it was just more entertaining. It was just when you went there you had an expectation and they met it.
Lou:I'd like seeing rocky when he was like. You know he made it.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, you know he was a champ finally and there was more action in it he was the build up to him. Fighting apollo creed was kind of a very Slow but steady build, that's when you don't think no character building in there. And you know, and a recent piece call withers.
Lou:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Scott:Absolutely.
Mark:Um he, you know he did that right. He did a couple series like the um uh. Rambo right, the first Rambo movie was very dark.
Lou:Actually, that's my favorite too, and it was actually you never seen her, have you seen?
Scott:enough of Rambo. One Say I've seen it yeah.
Mark:That it went off the boat because, like Sylvester did kind of take over these series of movies Rocky and and Rambo and and he probably he did good with Rocky but he ended so good with Rambo, he, no, all right, he versus Bowlingill.
Scott:TV series. Tv series from Rocky TV series from 1980. Yeah, let's see what do we got. I'm gonna start off with kid Does the spider-man behind you have a woody? These are things I notice.
