Podcasts about grosse point blank

Greg and Jenius continue Off Brand April as they take stock in their lives by looking back at 1997's Grosse Point Blank!

Das Thekencast-Team wird diesmal nostalgisch: In dieser Ausgabe widmen sich Theresia, Schuk, Kühne und Stu der Kultkomödie „Ein Mann – Ein Mord“ (Originaltitel: Grosse Pointe Blank). Ein Film, der nicht nur bei einigen von ihnen nostalgische Gefühle weckt, sondern auch selbst von Vergangenheitssehnsucht handelt. Im Mittelpunkt steht John Cusack als Auftragskiller, der mit seiner Existenz hadert und für ein Klassentreffen in seine Heimatstadt zurückkehrt – wie es Profikiller eben tun. Doch verdient der Film seinen dezenten Kultstatus wirklich, oder trügt die Erinnerung? Diese und viele weitere Fragen werden im Podcast diskutiert. Viel Vergnügen!

Zero and Wiz RECOMMEND In Bruges Part pulpy crime story, part morality play with a crass, blackened humorist tinge, In Bruges is a film that is a hilariously dark with a surprisingly sweet aftertaste. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson carry a curse-laden, non politically correct yarn about two hit men waiting for their next assignment while they discuss what happened in the last contract. The film has a back and forth to it that is somewhat surprising but is effective when it sticks to the core of salty, bruising humor. Farrell plays Ray as a young man who has had enough and doesn't care who hears it. He's impulsive, distraught and a loose cannon (in more ways than one). Farrell plays him with an unsettled vibrancy that is arresting to watch while he's talking about midgets and retards with reckless abandon, not caring who hears it. And Gleeson's straight man performance is well fit: he provides a centering of the story that is charming to watch. And when the film sticks with The Odd Couple meets Grosse Point Blank, In Bruges has a lot of great lines and ludicrous laughs from the characters they engage with. But then, the film starts to go from dark comedy to dark dramedy and it slips ever so slightly. When it's revealed what happened in the last contract, the film takes on a more serious tone that tries to give the film a more dramatic edge but largely feels uneven. This is mainly because the film doesn't exactly pivot to a drama but instead just sprinkles it into the dark humor. Maybe I'm wrong on this, but it felt like the film wanted us to feel for Ray and his problems, but it's fairly hard to do that since the film wants to laugh at him as well, which doesn't feel quite earned. But then the best performance of the film enters and that's Ralph Fiennes. Fiennes plays a foul mouthed, quick tempered crime boss incredibly well whether he is yelling uproarious insults or looking intense into the eyes of a person he's angry with. It's a small role, but it has one of Fiennes best performances. When In Bruges sticks to the dark and foul humor, it is a hilarious time. Al three main actors do a great job with the comedy as well as the crime elements. But the film does falter when it tries to be a little more serious. And while that is a small portion of the film, it's a sticking point in what could have been an absolute favorite of mine. But even so, it's a hilariously dark good time.

Barry Carter drops by to extolls the virtues of the quirky Grosse Point Blank from 1997. Does it sell out its premise to become just another rom-com or does it never lose its edge? There's holes and Jimmy ineveitably falls into them.

Tonight was an amazing but slightly silly discussion about some great soundtracks for movies really give you the "mood" of the show.  We certainly missed a lot of good movie soundtracks, but this is what we could come up with in such short notice.     We opened with Six and the Sevens from Detroit - who may be playing their last show on 8-17-24 at the Cadieux Cafe... I'll be there - if you are in the greater Detroit area - join us !   We played music from movies like:   Napoleon Dynamite, The Blues Brothers, Grosse Point Blank, Eddie & The Cruisers, Some Kind of Wonderful, Pretty In Pink, 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club...   Honorable mentions of Risky Business, Repo Man, and a couple of  others...   As always, the Law Offices of Jamison, Walker, Statler and Walrorf have kept us out of prison for another week.     Join us for another Award Winning show next week.

My guest this week is one of the most enduring movie actresses of our (by which I mean my!) generation. Minnie Driver made her first film, Circle of Friends in 1995, and went on to follow that with a lead role in Stanley Tucci's gorgeous ode to Italian food, Big Night, an Oscar nominated turn in Goodwill Hunting. And my personal favourite Grosse Point Blank. Now 52, with a 13yo son, Henry, and over fifty roles under her belt, Minnie is still “doing Hollywood” very much her own way. As well as two albums and a podcast (Minnie's Questions), she's now written a memoir, Managing Expectations, a book about how things not working out for her inevitably led to other things working out.Minnie joined me from her LA home to tell me why being called outspoken makes her want to punch walls, overcoming the curse of other people's expectations (and her own!), why she always felt like a failure for not being married, how getting fired never feels any less unjust and embracing her vengeful streak! She also introduces me to the concept of is-ness, shares her big hair survival tips and has things to say about why Hollywood dudes can be creased, but women can't!You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at Bookshop.org, including Managing Expectations by Minnie Driver, Minnie's book recommendation Send Nudes by Saba Sams and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me!* If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com• And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com• The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and this episode was edited by Emily Sandford.

I'm still on vacation, so here's one of my favorite past episodes to tide you over until I'm back!I had an incredible conversation with comedian Chris Gethard about his spark of inspiration, the John Cusack starring comedy Grosse Pointe Blank.  But it's also so much more than that. We talked about Chris' relationship with Judd Apatow as well as Judd Apatow's movies. We talked about Andy Kaufman. We talked about Cameron Crowe. We talked about comedy in general.  It's a wide ranging and very exciting and super fun conversation. Seriously.

I think that had recorded off sky when we first got sky, and I watched it over and over why? Why did I watch that? Over and over again, is this guy on a bike pulls a gun on these mobsters I mean they look like proper extras out of good fellers. Didn't they go proper guns went they really were he shoots him before they before they can be shut, or this this main guy can be shot and they unload clip after clip after clip on this. This this, I don't know corpse on a bike really this fine yeah. I flying with this this cab on it, which I always like a stubbed. It should be more stuck than in filth and then the dormant appears and executes them all yeah, just standing there blasting away this guy is a character called grocer played by home. It's a Danaro Dan acro and favorite yeah, yeah, goodness yeah. You Lot don't need us to tell you where we know don a cold from did. You know, he's made money out of founding those house of Blues Music Venues in the states yeah and is currently Hawking Crystal Head Vodka, which you can buy a bottle which looks exactly as you expect it to John Forty eight quid on Amazon for seventy cents, a let a bottle is a favor list, as if you are going to buy one, please shop anywhere else for your alcoholics, an you all. We don't mind ousedog yeah, absolutely so later they meet up at this bit of waste land. Grocer is saying a e union, that's more of a club, it's more in a club to make sure they don't get mixed up on jobs. Yeah Grocer mentions that he sold tanks to Central America. These t thirty four tanks and I yeah I took a bath on those thud. A thirty four tax, not concident must have sold these T. thirty four tanks in the last ten years, right so height, six to ninety six, considering how long you know this guy's been away from school, but but probably more likely in the last couple of years in the mid night is Soviet built. Since one thousand nine hundred and forty they stopped building them in one thousand nine hundred and fifty eight would you believe yet countries that still have them I'll? Give you an extra point. If you can guess a country in the world that still uses these tags, you Gush Lavie County, an I just covered a alou could have been. You could have been right there actually, because Bob near is one of them. A Republic of Congo just in case this as you're, not sure, that's the democratic one. You tend to know that because it doesn't have democratic in the title. If a country is democratic in the title, it is mostly undemocratic, yeah, a e e edvantiges North Korea yeah exactly on that subject: North Korea as well. The Yemen, Vietnam, Guineyguiney, Beso, Namibia and Guba, of course, Cube Nice. If you want to learn more about Cuba, tune into our current episodes, O everything we love for the simpsons, where we get to go to Cuba with homer Simpson, which is just as much one as it ses, they must be reliable tanks them. If people are still using them, they're being used in Cuba, I can assure you they are still using cast from the ES. So I was I was listening to some of the conversation. It was even me secretary. I brot the Amalteo, the animal, the ison go for it sure one of them packed up on his with eshe was asking for steel core. No so steel, co pesame is illegal, Picis, a harder steel and it doesn't deform on contact. If you shoot Kevlar with it is it ll PS at source classes am Opson aminition right, but she also says something of it. Soft Point, billets, yeah yeah no show point, builds a prains for hunting with the deformation of the nose creating a lower expansion and greater penetration. I know as soon as I state panettone a thought is going to laugh and I didn't know that and then he realized there is difference between the tenses like drank to the mail. Okay, yeah I've got you yeah. She does a little bit later on which I might as well do. While, while we're talking about bullets, she mentions nine, she shouted nine millimeter subsonic rounds. subsonic ammunition is ammunition designed to operate below the speed of sound, which means it's less than MAC. Zero Point Eight zero and it avoids Super Sonic, shot, wave or crack of a super sonic bullet which influences the loudness of the shop. So, if you're shooting with the silence that so, if you don't any get caught, that's what you want to use guys at for assassinations. I would assume I bet that is absolutely grow year. Grocer says it's a concern that that I want we've got X, Starz we've got those butch Filipinos and I'm like okay yeah great, it's a really uncomfortable conversation and like they're watching each other, the whole time art there and kind of Oh yeah. We in like the S B, to pin the hand in a book and if you try t like o yeah, it's good, he buggers off and and a new job comes in through the car facts. Did you love this Caninis? This is something that I lost a lot of time on this morning. The car facts I couldn't find a particular type of a model or anything like that, basically lost to history in the Internet, but the Toyota Century, if you bought a toie century, had an option which replaced the glove box space with an in Carfax. But that is all I could find. That is crazy, madness and it is to maisure thing have and your car yeah. He turns down he's going to go in Miami, but he turns down a job of blowing up a green piece. Boat Is Co. factest, Bolshoy Green piece have a four ships Rainbow Warrior Arctic Sunrise, Esperanza and witness he's in Miami doing this job. He drops his camera through the vent in this sleeping man, and I R drips poison down this string and just as it's about to do, it falls on his face and wakes him up. I mean this guy is a really light sleeper. Why? Yes, since it touched his face, it was up yeah, so he jumps downstairs at the gun and blows him away. I says: No, IT'S NOT ME HES! Whatever I'm doing you know I'll stop! No! No! It's not me! It's not that I just blows him away. So it's basically failed twice here ye and that's as we go in through the film he's. Really bad at this lake manage let's say a five year career. Let's say I was in the army for four Ay years years: Five Year career doing this because he doesn't do anything right the whole time, but I think it's dot with mental state. Isn't it yeah, because you can't you can to get right? S may be a professional, so they're very unhappy and he's got one last all last job that he can do is meant to make it look like he died in his sleep and it just so happens. It's where his reunion is yeah yeah, because she's, the secret is reading the the year book stuff and she is yes she's reading out the kind of that the invite to the and you kind of like, Oh my God that sounds awful. Did you ever go to one of your reunions? John? So I no! I didn't so a couple of things. I was eaout these things, the American ones different from a as cause. What they do is it every five to ten years? Isn't it every five ten years to go there, but some people take their year book. So Ye book is basically just an annual record of what they're done in the highlight stuff. So they take it with them, so they can actually compare and just see because a lot of them rate comments thinking all you're going to be the funniest pierce. Now you the hardest worker, but we don't have any on that. No, I do might do now. I but yeah, no back then, but even no. Even then I was reinin Israel, but apparently the tradition is dying out and the USA, because the Social Mejeedee are, if you've got a view. These good fast thing you do. Is You had your friends on finish books so if you've got the mirror or attainments appointing beaten up yeah? That's that's fair enough! Yeah and to be honest, if you hate them, then like I probably did yeah, you bother yeah exactly it's talks to psychiatrists couch as we discussed already the wonderful Alan Arkin he's not his doctor, because he's afraid of him he doesn't like he does, but he keeps coming back and he's to to he's too afraid to not kind of listen yeah, but it loves him because he is rating. An is is something but it a couple of books, yeah yeah this that go go a looking at that. Just looking at gotras bet grocery, as as it says, in the ten three lines rates WHO Pentas and in Cadet to somebody else, which is weird, but what our dead looked at is the sheet amount of money that theodopus get a bet remained every time you watch an American form, it seems like everybody in the dogs got at the other person, but generally the prices range from sixty five dollars to two hundred and fifty dollars an hour. Wow Therapist, I'm thinking my God sound. That's a lot of what they've o there's a lot of people with her in therapist of therapists over there, so I was going to pick have gone to pack any sort of career over there. I definite gain us some sort of therapy yeah, and now we moved to a advert for our sponsor this week, better help as Pensi my bete help, but well that we were would be would be good but yeah. It is it's an expensive job and this G he's not getting his money worth here. Is He at all it's' been dreaming on the Juras Bunny and he said that's a terrible dream. It's a depressing dream: like aerospace, drink, some punch meet up with the girl, debbiamo, okay, who's. This girl, Derby, Duracell last Juel Bunny campaign in one thousand nine hundred a D. seventy three! That's that that's there's a lot more in the Durosey and Lote court cases around it. It is very boring and very dry okays. This is the one. It got me rates a couple of things, but that seemed so one was when it was seen: a boat, the jams, a boat Deby. Yes, I was looking at it Tassoun about and it could mean that you lookin for closure a Corti somebody called Terry O Barch. The JUNISEAN is sixteen years older than energizer bunny as Jun, one thousand nine hundred and senty three but energizer as a sole rate to sell rabbit, embroidered batteries and s in the US. That's so were on it that they're, the only one, the lethe us and Canada, and U and Grisel- has kind of the rest of the world wherever wherever they wherever they sell them. I'm glad you managed take that look at out of there, because I found that was a very dry series of articles that are read yea. I press that we bet longer that grocer finds that he's lost this Detroit job to blank and he calls these feds who are seemingly after him, but he says: Oh I've got your I've got your I've got your pigeon, so obviously they're. Looking for they're looking for someone to sell yeah as blank sets gets into town, it passes the radio station and he passes Debby, which is mini driver Hoba, Hoba, yeah, t good Enos. Yes, he's one of ours he's very young, though very young. Indeed she is she's the radio DJ and she seems to have a real kind of hard on for, like to tone and kind of like punk scared. She Y A I Yahaya, that's good. He pulls up put the school and sees his old teacher Miss Mrs Kanele. She says you did. Oh, your Detroit's best disappearing accents white flight. I kind of wish I hadn't learned about this. About white fly rightly, is a turn for large scale: Migration of white people from one area to another when an area becomes more racially or culturally diverse, right, so fuck off the water you get up in the mountains, if that's your ah to yeah and it's a term. That's been popular in America since kind of h s right when areas started to become a little bit more ethnic, let's say et nity diverse, so I kind of wasn't into that. I just yeah, not great, he says yeah. I went West like the Donna Party Mane. I love the story of the Dollar Party. I got a big kick out of this story. The Donna Party was a group of American biles. We migrated to California in a wagon train from the Midwest. They were so delayed. They spent the winter eighteen. Forty six eighteen, forty seven snow bound in the Seria Sierra Nevada mountain range, like the beer. Some of the migrants resorted to cannibalism, to survive in the bodies of those who had succumbed to starvation, sickness and extreme cold on the DONA party Esus. No thanks to the wagon train. We are still alive, so I did eventually make it that they had. They had a taste for flesh. I was gonna, say he's something e chick about harm yeah, he says: Are you still teaching Ethan Throne, ethen frome? I one thousand nine hundred and even book by American Author Edith, Watton and they're basically having this gun of he says. Oh you have this Mary Tyler, more kind of thing going on he's flirting with him, but I'm kind of like that's weird. It's got that he heads off home. He gets home, but home, isn't there what's there? Instead, it's an ultimate, which I tried to go. God tons, actually no a shot. It and Bookay Fosti really is yeah. He gets in, he walk, he's, listening to guns and roses live and let die, which of course, is a cover of the wings number eleven e Di di Te to the backbands I did. I was like jeous releases, an arcade game yeah I stupidly when I was young at I bought doom. Is I tanou tons it that's a sorrevet them too yea. It is yeah yeah t e e H to wasn't released in Arcades. Yes, is a just on this. Doom to, however, was release in one thousand nine hundred and ninety four and Mak Antro, one thousand nine hundred and ninety five right. Okay, Mackintosh, remember those he walks into this convenience store and the music changes the instant it gets since, like a music version, isn't it yeah? It's like the IT s like a left, yeah elevator in written specifically for this film that piece of that that arrangement yeah it was really good he's raging in he ate questions the guy, be the canter who looks just like rambling clerks. It he's like you know where who are you? How long have you been here? Where's, your manager, when you? Where do where do you live a because the Dando doesn't answer and he leaves a voice mat, and this line is Great. He says so it turns out. You can never go home, but you can shop. there. Is God good son, my child at home, so I can say that these feds that are following them. I didn't recognize that the Black Guy, but I did of course, recognize Hankerin o course go. Baby Hankes, Daria Yeah is man a many times. I go man of Man, I an he visits his mom in the hospital. It turns out, he's been sending money home, but obviously with her not being particularly well they've lost the house yea. She forgets him right away. He goes to see his dad. His Dad is a it's just. A grave basically is there for seconds. He opens his bottle of Glen Love. It proper single mole, eight years, yeah, yeah of it and and Pauls it o the grave and bogus off yeah yeah, which you now really loved them or really hated them, as is yeah. I think it's. I think it's the opposite. I don't think you like him too much just while we're talking about where he is gross point is in Michigan, and it's on the banks of Lake Saint Claire, which is actually not one of the official Great Lakes there's five Great Lakes. This is often called the sixth grade lake there's been a number of attempts to have it recognized, none of which have been made official. There are five gross points that make up the city Gross Point Park, Grosse, Point City, crose, point farms, Groson Woods and gross point shores. Now, stop saying gross point. Well, I hon then, on the is it down baste a bridge right, yeah, Yeah God, that's that I don't even know what the thing, but the Bassa bridges are told, and a mashed or suspension bridge across the Detroit River can connect Detroit Machia in the United States with Windsor Ontario, Canada sor it connects countries. A yes is it's just it's a massive masses structure be looking to it as read that one, the look in to replace it. I don't know why. That's because it's to go be a steel, it Senate, but there they build a wall yeah, but yeah. It was massive when it was Mefiedo us to cross or six six dollars, twenty five Canadian cents. Then, if you want to, if you want to travel across that, just adding those on that's great stuff back to the film next day, he goes to see die. I keep calling the die she's, not called dish called Demi eye they kiss ten years ago he stood her up on prom she's in a seven hundred dollar dress and she put a seven hundred dollar prom dress. John Yeah, you look o any pom de FAC. I didn't did you? Yes, so just googling pray range between them, but is here on the average the prom range ranges from one hundred dollars to section the doors. So I think I sent setting in a seven AEDOR dress is gone over board yeah, well that that Daddy's got a few Bob Anny yeah, seven hundred dollars us in today's money is one thousand two hundred and forty three US dollars. That is an increase of seventy seven percent Jesus and that is in Tattie. THAT'S CRAZY INFLATION! Isn't it yeah that is obscene inflation, proper procreant. You notice on facebook market place to sell a lot of these problem deses because as soon as they wear them this, this stick them Shet. For so I had not seen that if it's just man I got as gets in Promesso my life, a M S, S E C here for job. Don't en give me starting there, a snapchat, no we've already been told you're not allowed to be started on Snayoo d within fifty meters of snatcher. I don't know she admits on the air that she's confused by the feelings and he he leaves and then kind of, comes back in it because they've got this really weird speaker system outside yeah. Yes, we can at her the shots going on, which I think he's probably only set up just for that one particular part of the film yeah she weed in this prom dress and he didn't show so she asked the people. What should what should he do? What should she do and Esau rings up, making wear that prom dress? No, an Kazari calls up from across the road. Tell her why you're really in town, tough guy, like a t, no yellow, rabbins or someone to yellow ribbon, which of course is a TI, yellow ribbon the song, which is what you do when somebody returns from. I always assume that was supposed to be from from war, but I think it could also be prison unless you're in the green, green grass of home he's walking away and as he's leaving, he clocks the feds and this weird euro trash. Looking Guy who looks like he's faces been moulded on so yeah. I thought it was prosthetic. If I did too yeah, it's just a really unattractive man. This is real fish is to he's a Spaniard. Is it is a stunt coordinator? It's done a done. A lot of things like I box and all that sort of thing. So He's done a lot of mashas movies. I okay, that explains what happens a little bit later on yeah and it yes, it keeps walking and he sees this Guy Paul who's. A friend from school generally Pivi, I been yeah yeah on real. Remember him from a sin on Tashai think he is in an Tarag. I've never seen a frame of it is that another storm you've got me. Walberg is the main character that meant to be Donny Walberg in real life, as of totally a yeah yeah. But I don't know if, in the end of the series he ends up marrying an anti Vacco, I'm not in time show. I do really know what happens with him. Yeah. That's I'm sure, that's what that's about, but I've never had any intention of watching a set it just it just is not for me so pay this friend from schools in real estates. They meet this couple at this open house by the way right well who could afford this house today? Nobody more note with its Fouta kind of in police security, which is this guy, the police, you know, can you use? Can you lose use legal force, not really any an so s checking hook in America and that's kind of blow my mind, the me bat. So out of a hundred twenty seven point: Five, nine million households in the United States, only thirty six million of storm security, so at thirty present of forms in the US have any sort of security wow unexpected. I was expecting a lot, a lot more consenting every time you watch a farm or hear about America. It's like a the legit protect their own. It's like the fucking first page, that be a thing man, but no, I present have some sort of home security that that does surprise me at one hundred percent. I guess there's a lot of places that are in the middle of nowhere. I guess yeahs done either that do themselves. Yes out in a rocking chair out on the front exactly what are we? We, we bit of fashion lying across the front door, but the shot gun it now saying so: Micro Machines in the hall, a cans on the stairs, and I am ready to come to Intesi, really hot door, knob classic classic. Absolutely they drive past Debbie's. So it turns it look at why I figured out from this. was everybody stayed in town? Like he's? The only personal one I have left town is how it seems to me: They drive past debby's house and his brilliant. He said: That's Debbie Sous, it creeps upon you. Doesn't it he's like? No, you drove us here and I and is Lima Yeah Yeah that you bought from the everybody bought cars from the same guy. Nobody drives American in this town, which I would assume nobody drives American any more. I don't think so. He he admits he's a professional killer. Is it an open market? He says Oh yeah, absolutely and again it's another instance of him. Just a people just going yeah, okay, okay, five! Can I join yeah, yeah, absolutely yeah! You can yeah Martin calls his secretary. What's the secondary called by the way, I got made a note to say: I'm sure she hasn't he but yeah. He calls her she's brilliant at Martita, kin she's screaming about these bullets, which we talked about already and she's talking soup with family's like it's just a base, it's just a bit a yeah yeah she did has to conversations. Then she one is like talking about shipping. The next minute. She's shouting at the arms de Lerin, the superstar, the kids play in the doom to arcade game with the headphones on listening to the ace spades by most ending classic, be music or the SEIS called Masella Masella Coss. I think you may be only use the name once you're a trash guy comes in and there's this running gun battle, it's fantastic and the kids still playing the game he's missing the whole thing. It's brilliant kind of, like John Wou jump in sideway, some things yea. He runs out and, as Martin sees, that he'd put some Centex in some sea foreway. He stuck some pens and potty and stuck in a make a way. Martin saves the Kid, as the place blows up a lovely, proper explosion. It's good to see is an don't eat. Okay, we ar empty cottons of milk and stuff and a toilet roll. Are you? Okay? I'm not okay, I'm hurt I'm pest and I need to find a new job. They just makower walking away mumble it so, which I thought was absolutely seven. Instead of going, you need to see here and read for the poise just bug it up. I've got written here discover magazine at this very point, and I assume that at some point he picks up a discover magazine. I can't think why else I would have that written there, but discover magazine lunch in one thousand nine hundred and eighty, and is a science and lifestyle magazine you get digital subscription now for one ninety, nine, a month dollars and print and digital version for twenty four. Ninety five a year current stories include ancient humans had pets too, and four crazy facts to know about your nose only for a water, loder Click Baysei. Twenty five quitting a year for that, okay, gramps, okay, boomer he's agreed to meet Debbie at this place, the Hippo Club. She says you need to have Shahabu Ko, which I was certain was an s band. I thought I was a singer, its all looked up in the thought as a singer, and it was the a mix him up with Shaku. Ever then CABUCO origination, the Chinese bud the Chit in the Chinese buddist text. It's a real thing and it translates as break of negative thoughts. Jack a Bote Shashee me REC, the book, an IT's all I want to do. I'm gonna stop that some of the start right, there's that rang with start rap, so Jesus, the Stutter Rap O. that's a reference for nobody, I'm only just old enough to know what that is. A Cheche asks it to the reunion she says: no chance, you're still you're still in the you're. Still in a time out box, this woman, a by, turns up really drunk. So we make some excuses to go to the bar. It goes into the toilet and the feds. ARE THERE YEP? So he knows the Ronin and gross is in the toiler and he comes out as blank leaves and the las going back runs into the toilet. That that go is a junketer. All right is that is at an cusack, is a a name is Mikasa my Cusi Wow, now you're right and so in my bad yeah. I thought yeah, I know he's got a sister and I didn't know she was much of an actor, but then arguably he isn't either so it harsh baby. We like the film this whole point. We learn here that they can't do anything to him until he goes to the IMA with this, with this killing, so the everybody's holding on the waiting for this they go and leave he leans in for the winch, and she refuses him. He calls Marcella and she gives him the heads of the fence, the from the NSA and they're. Looking for a Patsy and they've been sailed by grocer. We also find out that the Eurotrash kind of Gil, weird the calling yeah, is a Basque separatist, now a separatist, a something that used to be big in the news. If you, if you remember you know, when we were growing up, the Basque region is an autonomous community in northern Spain and the bast conflict ran from fifty two years and only ended in thousand a eleven, because I remember, even in my s, there was bombings on TV news which were always attributed to bask separatists. I always thought a bas. separators were a guy that removed woman's underwear at asks, Goab to keep it on s, been a war, since I seen a good ask. Is that not one of those giant snakes with a big teeth? He explains he hasn't even looked at the job that he should have been doing. He hangs up and heads to see Debbie she's, staying at appearance because her apartment got burnt down. Did you catch when it was burnt down junk Halloween? So it's like the crew on it. The wait. What know? What does he matter? I you an this is this is weird this is. This is strange. Is this just something that happens? This is Flanan facts with an affair. Oh yeah, exactly that very first episode by the way, the crow, the boy we were different, then we have no idea what we were doing and I I I'll go. I Want T, go back and reedit that for an enemy we will re record it. When we get to under episodes. A hundred episode will do the Crooning Yeah. So the the whole thing here is right. He goes, he goes to the window and she opens open, but- and I I guess I wouldn't have known- had it not been for the the subtitles, because I was a it sub titles, it says in Jamaican accent and she's like you can come in Oh yeah. What why and then she's like you can call me in and then goes back to. The American accent. Again, like I mean is, is that okay is that? Are you allowed to do that? I mean it was a night easy, Doinyo fucking one in no very t. You should stop doing that. No, I'M! Not! Okay! With that I've been a little bit uncomfortable. Who wrote this? Oh Yeah, John Kosack. She agrees to go with the reunion, but only if he does the airplane, which is this really weird thing you and lift you sort of pull his feet just to do that. My sisters when I was younger, I did you a a fly. What? If, what? If Your Dad comes in, oh well, he can you can have an airplane to yeah. He says I as I could stay. We could watch cross fire on TV, something romantic like that. A cross fire was a political debate, show that ran one thousand nine hundred eighty two to two thousand and eight and then had some kind of little couple of little years post that two guests, one representing left and one representing the right of American politics, doesn't sound very romantic. Does it there's like a bag of shit just so back a ship? It sounds like you're. Not really trying to do news night is like he leaves, and the next morning he's getting breakfast grocer comes into the diner that he's getting breakfast, as, as I get a good scene, I at this scene a lot now the the waitress comes over and she says she says he's the specials we've got and one of them was the ALFALFA FA. On my mind, Omelet- and I was like we already know what Al Halfer is we leant two weeks ago when we talked about the R Pasan adventure yeah, so we couldn't even look at bloody of Alfa and he says oh I'll have an egg white omlet, please and what you want in it. Nothing, that's not technically a numble ever matter what you want, O Doin, an manias ran to s a good line, but rosman was sitting seeing a boat and we should get onions and as Salata solant and onions for the blood yeah yeah. So look that up with did you look up was real. No, I didn't. I did you know now. I've really dropped the ball this week and you are picking it up. Good man, so onions have an inflammatory es that may help reduce a high blood pressure and protect against blood clots, SOLANCO or coriander. As we call it is good for Laurin, bad cholesterol and encreases the levels of good cholesterol. That just sounds like an outlet joke that laws bad give it's very good for the digestive system. So I need to get both of those in my diet, I think the press up it, fine, I'm just overweight yeah. I just I just love pies and pints. That's my problem! Well, there good for your mental health, no for sure for sure! Absolutely with with with my bed, with my birthday coming up at a all, be pies and pine to me. I can assure you that I can assure you of that so and basks and Basso you, man, grocer, orders, two pots, eggs, bran, muffin and two toast scrape off scrape off the Ranana, the watery stuff, and I kind of get there with postings, and I was really disappointed. He didn't order two fried chickens and a coke liking. Blues Brothers Yeah a eive got that mixed up avanie orders, two slices of dry white, bread, dry, white toast, and it's and it's not elbowless those d d, The lucy orders, two chickens and a coke like every week. We got about this. The only way we fix it is just to cover it. We just got poet, would o black makes a run for the place before Grosser can shooting? But one thing I had missed is gross has got these. He says I what are those and he says, other the the herbal medicines or whatever groke says? No, you should you should be on. You should be on this. In said, Dureza. Yes, I guess Raza, it's a brand name for foxite. It's an antidepressant used for the treatment of Belem, depression, neuroses and obsessive compulsive personality disorder. It's been passed in the states for use on treating children aged eight and over with depression, which seems crazy to me. Was it called? It's called well, the his version was called Juris, but the Brat it's a brand name of fluoxetine right. Okay, it's used also for treating premature, ejaculation, so happy birthday to you as well. Jom, yes, come elut! That absolutely be I and he says, we're only two years away from the government putting this in the water in the water, yeah, okay, okay, so blank makes the run and Grosser can't shoot him.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to see, but John, I am currently writing with my own personal view, amount of seen that on that camera shore yeah, so that's important, we'll come back to that pen later yeah. This is again my thought. That's going to come back if you wanted two hundred and fifty of these pens, John Today, with with with with that company name on that, we that we shall not mention or potentially with the podcast name on not bad idea, they'll cost you he'll, cost your tenor, a hundred and fifty pence.

So at one point it says when his went to speak to Grossman patch me en I just looked up with her in business because the Regal Talford switch boards were boards and let a a patch cable. That's right, yeah, yeah, to train that when I was a nt used to expect the people how it used to work on really and and then how a switch works now. So he went to phone somebody from one land line to another. Lane line have the switches work, so it was all part of the kind of the train cause. If a switch went down yeah you may a yeah to explain what the problem was to accost, not only ever fucking did, but as that is portate, is it the de Nube? Oh, what's the denue, so he says he's and but the past yes, is obviously his. I can see on the T, not O, no, no, no, the Danube as a second largest revenue Europe after the Volga and Russia. It flows through most of central and sell in Europe from the black for us to the Black Sea, all right, okay, other things I've got is so because husband was informing on Martin. I was looking up the FBI or the informant and says that the on an art co says that the Pi and Thrigsbian formance, five hundred and forty eight million and recent years and many were towards command authorized crains.

Darkly funny, and a treat to watch, Lucas and Dylan pour over one of John's best films, Grosse Point Blank (1997). Full of accidental charm and beauty, the film takes a rote premise of high school reunion and expands it into unexpected places, giving nuance to what would inherently be overt. This movie is what John Wick wanted to be. We truly can't believe we made it this far. And it's not like there's like sixty films left to watch, still.

This time in the Machine Room we dabble a bit on the Presidential Debate happening live, Go quickly into remembering Grosse Point Blank and then discuss why Alan Moore is a douche.

Welcome to episode 74! This week, Emma heads down to the town of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, to discuss the Kelly Green Men (who, by the way, are silver, not green). Anish’s story is about a killer on death row for a single crime, but would later be linked to 22 more murders. He covers the story of Tommy Lynn Sells, and how a crime writer’s correspondence closed many cases — plus we briefly revisit an old case of Emma’s! As for viewing for the week, Emma’s February break allowed us to binge a lot. We watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to celebrate Emma’s first college acceptance! We also watched Grosse Point Blank (one of Anish’s favs), but the big binge was Amazon Prime’s Hunters, about a group of Nazi killers in 1977. As for Liverpool FC, they lost the 1st leg of their Champions League tie against Athletic Madrid, but there is still the 2nd leg to play at Anfield!

Since, “Rom-Coms R Dead,” we’ve been looking for a reason to have romance novelist and journalism professor, the lovely Sara Netzley, back for an episode.  We are very happy to have her back to discuss the 1997 quirky Rom-Com, “Grosse Point Bla This film is loaded with talent, and is a very non-traditional Rom-Com.  There are assassins and action in it, there are genuine good reasons why Debi doesn’t want Martin back, and there are some wonderfully quirky and cutting lines to quote throughout the film.   Surprisingly, this is not a complete love-fest for our panel, and it's not all Sean's fault this time.  There are characters we don’t like, we question the ending, and the only things we agree on are Minnie Driver and the awesomeness of the soundtrack.  Our scores for the film are mostly all over the board, and there is spirited discussion throughout about our differences.   If you’re an OG fan of Moving the Needle, you may remember this movie has come up a lot our first few years.  We finally found the missing ingredient to make this a full episode of memorable discussion.  We hope you enjoy this episode!

If you asked the guys at 1001 by 1 if they would rather watch this week’s film of discussion, “Bringing Up Baby”, again or be mauled by the leopard used in the film – without question they would be mauled by the leopard. This week, Adam and Ian talk about the lack of development of Katharine Hepburn’s character, the mishandling of the production by Howard Hawks, and not having enough wine to get through the film. Also, this week Adam recommends “Between Two Ferns” (currently on Netflix) and Ian recommends “Grosse Point Blank” (currently on HBO). You can support the show at patreon.com/1001by1.

Because the topic is worth repeating, the team is revisiting forgiveness.  Previously, way back in episode 73, Jeff and Mel (aka Mona) came to the conclusion that forgiveness and reconciliation are not at all synonymous. This time around, Jeff, Allen, Bonnie and Rajeev explore humanity’s need for forgiveness, individually and communally. They consider the relationship between forgiving and “letting go” of harms done or wounds inflicted. This leads the conversation to God’s role in forgiveness. Jeff acknowledges the baggage that words like “forgiveness” and “sin” tend to carry, especially for those migrating out of fundamentalist and evangelical backgrounds, and in Jeff-like fashion proposes taking the words out of circulation.  This leads to a short-lived attempt by co-hosts to talk about forgiveness without using the word itself. The only mature solution they find to this ends up with them referring to forgiveness as the “F” word.  If you’ve wondered about the value of forgiveness, the relationship between forgiveness and power, the constellation of other spiritual resources connected to forgiveness, or how forgiveness and superglue can be used in the same sentence -- you will appreciate this conversation. The episode closes with each co-host sharing their Staff Picks. Find out what things are currently making the team happy as they discuss film, tv, books, music, knitting and chairs.

Welcome back, Pointers! This week’s “Guilty Pleasure” is one of mine: the John Cusack (and most of his family) vehicle “Grosse Point Blank,” a movie about a charming professional assassin attending his 10th high school reunion.

Green Lantern does Grosse Point Blank on the latest episode of JUST ONE OF THE GUYS: A GREEN LANTERN PODCAST Kyle faces his toughest challenge yet...his high school reunion! Yes, running into all of those "friends" you completely forgot existed, the peaked in high school jocks who STILL want to belittle you, and the angry girlfriends who berate you for not noticing them enough are all on display here, as well as a nice meeting between Jenny and Kyle's very MILF-like mom, Maura. Plus we get a shock ending that leads into a couple of heavy issues following this up. And for our second book, I'm taking a look at GREEN LANTERN: EVIL'S MIGHT #1, an Elseworlds story that puts Kyle Rayner, Hal Jordan, Carol Ferris, and Alan Scott against the backdrop of the Boss Tweed era of New York City politics. It's Green Lantern does Gangs of New York...who says comic books can't be cinematic? So unless you want to be tastin' the back of my shillelagh, you best be fetchin' your mp3 player o'choice, downloadin' the show, and startin' ta listening (Okay, crappy accent mode off).Feedback for this show can be sent to: justoneoftheguyspodcast@gmail.comJust One Of The Guys is a proud member of the Two True Freaks!
