Who knew a dodgeball game between Robert and Eric Christopher Walken,

5:26.3

Diamond Skull,

14:26.3

and Bob Crane of Hogan's Heroes and his double life that he had, how would you compare those two movies?

14:33.3

Well, I love that reference. Joe Otto focus, I think is an incredible film. I've talked about a lot with Rikowski.

14:37.3

I think it's a brilliant movie from Paul Schrader because Bob Crane is this guy again, very likable personality, charming father next door.

14:44.3

And then he's got this unbelievably sorted sex addiction, which is kind of pulling him under ground.

14:49.3

I mean, there's one great shot where he comes out of the pool and he's kind of assessing his life in slow motion.

14:53.3

Schrader said, that was his homage to apocalypse now. I think Otto focus is the much better film. I think it's one of those great underseen movies, those who have seen it love it.

15:01.3

By the way, once referenced on Kirby Enthusiasm, when Jeff and Larry David get a girls gone wild video, one of them says, this is like an Otto focus moment. I was dying.

15:11.3

I said, I don't know how many people actually get that joke, but that's an incredible joke. It's why those guys are so good in propping it.

15:16.3

Otto focus, I thought, was it kind of went deeper and was more hard hating, especially when Bob Crane's dissent, whereas here they kind of hint at Rockwell losing his mind a little bit as Chuck Bears.

15:26.3

But it's a good point, Joe. They're kind of companion pieces in that likable TV personalities with very, very dark sides.

15:33.3

Right. Let's just do better. David News, then we'll get to Tudkoker. This is devastating news. I could not wait to see Pixar's soul.

15:39.3

It's supposed to be amazing. They're putting it now in Disney Plus. That's right. European cinema operators saying the move has shocked and dismayed them and deprived many audiences across the continent from watching the film.

15:50.3

The decision on soul is doubly frustrating for operators who were counting on the release after the film was previewed at a number of key European film festivals.

15:56.3

Soul had its rule premiere, the BFI London Film Festival on Saturday. It's going to play at the Rhoneful Festival later this month.

16:02.3

Disney Plus in time for Christmas is going to launch on December 25th. Originally was supposed to be in theaters right around late November. So that's disappointing here.

16:10.3

I mentioned Charlie Kaufman. I love him. The writer of Confessions of Adangerous Mind, although he says he's a terrible relationship with George Clooney. He's including never consulted him.

16:18.3

Didn't talk to him. Want to do things in a completely different manner. But we love Kaufman because it and kind.

16:22.3

He's an Oscar screener and he's working on the memory police new film the handmade stale director Reed Marano and Kaufman are teaming up with this.

16:30.3

Marano will direct and produce. Coppen will write the script for the memory police described as an or well you novel about the terrors of state surveillance cannot wait for that because Charlie Kaufman's involved.

16:40.3
