Kiss Your Franchise Goodbye Andy Wilson

It's the Beatles! And we've been working like a dog! We're all George fans. The evolution of The Beatles as artists and where this movie fits in-- the bridge between Beatlemania/boy band and later Beatles. Monty Python. Elvis movies vs. Beatles movies. Paul's grandfather is a great villain.

Next week is HELP! (not to be confused with The Help)

It's JB's birthday pick and he has chosen the 1927 Fritz Lang classic Metropolis, restored and given a new soundtrack in the 80s by the King of 80s Soundtracks, Giorgio Moroder. Felt like homework to Kitt. This is Andy's superhero origin story: the literal zeitgeist of Weimar Germany and what this film was saying. Melissa hated this movie!

What songs would we have picked to put in the movie?

Studio notes for a remake version?

It's a Mark birthday movie-- the very non-franchise-y Crazy Heart which won Jeff Bridges an Oscar. Unlike the Academy, the rest of us hated this movie to various degrees. Andy goes on a 25 minute rant about country music fans and the Fast Car remake. Mark says Andy needs to calm down. Melissa and Kitt still don't like the movie. Alcoholism. Schroedinger's Single Mom. The age difference thing. We do like the music though. JB appears just in time for studio notes. Can we separate art from artist?

Next week is JB's birthday movie, the Moroder version of Metropolis, which you can see here.

It's the final(?! for now!) Clerks movie and boy is Melissa sorry. Having sex with dead people in heaven. Mark's hot take on Cleopatra: Not Hot.

Mark's birthday movie is Crazy Heart starring Jeff Bridges which is streaming on HBO Max.

JB's birthday movie is Metropolis: The Georgio Moroder version, which is available on YouTube.

Once again-- this episode is even more filthy than normal, because Kevin Smith.

It's mostly just the Andy and Melissa show until BAM a wild JB and Mark appear at the very end. So much wrong with this movie. Mark likes Clerks 2 more than Clerks? Name 5 Soul Asylum songs. ⁠Sweet Relief: A Benefit for Victoria Williams⁠ is the name of the album.

Next up we finish off Clerks with the third (and final?) entry. And Mark and JB will announce their birthday movies!

WARNING: This episode is extra filthy. Just warning you.

Because it's Kevin Smith's debut, Clerks. What is it about this movie? Much of it has not aged well, yet... maybe we shouldn't change a thing about it? Andy's and Kitt's mom introduced Andy to this movie. Perfect time capsule. Dante is a bad person. No, he's worse than a bad person-- he's a neutral person. Dante died! That soundtrack. Berkerzer!!! Handwaving over the Weinsteins. Andy's Kevin Smith phase.



Next up, it's Clerks 2 (featuring Ahsoka Tano). Get Clerkin'!
