Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Luke and Pete show, mine is Pete Donaldson and once again it is my honour, privilege and pleasure to be joined by one Mr Christopher Tilley, you alright mate? I'm great, thank you for having me Pete, I always love talking to you. You have a very gentle manner about you on a podcast and And you're a little bit more robust in real life. Is that right? Yeah, you have a very gentle manner. I'm not sure which Tilly I like more. Is it the Christopher Tilly of the podcast or Christopher Tilly in real life?
Starting point is 00:00:37 I'd like a mixture of the two, quite frankly. So you think I'm, oh God, I think I was pretty horrible on last week's Clash of the Titles towards the end. The quiz got pretty unpleasant. The quiz always gets unpleasant because there's a lot of competitive people in there and there's a couple of people in there that are silly billies as well. What they don't know is that I now do the quiz every week. So Vicky and Alex go against each other. What they don't know, and they'll only find out if they listen to this,
Starting point is 00:01:03 is I've actually been keeping score between them and i've bought a trophy which i'm gonna hand to one of them at the end of this year no i mean you realize it's getting if you're doing it face to face uh covid allowing uh in the next few months and you give them their trophy um if it's not alex he will snap the trophy um So you need to be careful. You need to carry a knife or a weapon to defend yourself. He does get angry, doesn't he? He does get angry, but no, I think Vicky gets angry sometimes about the nuts and bolts of the competition
Starting point is 00:01:39 more than Alex just gets angry because he's got one wrong or something. Alex gets angry if a film he likes doesn't get voted the best film at the end of the episode. He'll throw his toys out the pram. One week, he purposely... That's why it's a good show. That's why it's a good show. One week, he purposely picked bad films for the next week
Starting point is 00:01:58 to punish me and Vicky. Not realising he's punishing himself because he had to watch those shit films as well. Fantastic. So one of the things you do do at ClashPod on Twitter is you give a little movie clue about the movie you're going to be featuring on the Clash of the Titles that week. I've not looked at this week's, so maybe I can have a crack at the ones you've chosen this time. Yeah, do.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Because it's Thursday. It's Thursday, so the episode will be out where they get announced. So the clue on the episode last week was Oscar winners in orbit, and the clue on Twitter was time is not a flat circle. Oh, right. Oscar winners. What's the one about the mining?'s a few oscar winners in there aren't there um the mining and they and the the i think you featured it in in in clash of the
Starting point is 00:02:53 titlers once it's about these space miners who uh miners like the people who cut the rock rather than children and they uh and and instead of taking um clever people who can be taught to mine, they take up miners who could be taught to be clever. You're talking about Armageddon. Armageddon. That is such a weird way to describe it. You meant the meteorite movie is what you should have said. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:18 You said the miner movie. No, the clue is what's good is there. Do you know where the quote time time is a flat circle, comes from? It sounds like it might be like, oh, it might be... No. It's True Detective. It's True Detective. Oh, is it?
Starting point is 00:03:38 And Matthew McConaughey says it several times. And Matthew McConaughey is the big clue because he's an oscar winner who's in both of these science fiction films yes he goes through his daughter's bookshelf exactly so yeah it's that one it's interstellar space boy space boy aka interstellar and then contact is the other one where jodie foster is the oscar oh nice in contact and they're actually really super similar those two films yes uh well contact is one of those films that i've always gone oh i fancy that and i've never bloody watched it um but all i can think of is jodie foster's face and some big um receiving satellite dishes yes that's all i've got it's an emotional roller coaster that one and i really recommend it i'm hoping a few people will watch that for the first time because i think everyone's seen interstellar but hopefully um and as i said on
Starting point is 00:04:28 the last episode i'm sure it's going to mean two hours of alex doing impressions of matthew mcconaughey and i don't know if that's good or bad yeah you're gonna have a stinker even i can do an impression of matthew mcconaughey everyone's got a mcconaughey uh on the go didn't he wasn't involved in the athletic wasn't he one of one of the people who put a bit of money into the celebrated and yeah, football and NFL and NBA kind of venture
Starting point is 00:04:54 out in the US? Potentially. Well, you know that I go to Austin, Texas a lot. He has just built a football stadium there. Not personally. I think he paid people
Starting point is 00:05:02 to build it. But yeah, he's launching Texas's first professional football team. It was supposed to be this season, but with COVID, maybe it's been pushed back. But yeah, and that's completely him and his wife own the football team.
Starting point is 00:05:15 As in soccer team, yeah? Soccer team, yeah. Sorry, sorry. I call it football. I call it football, Peter. I'm just worrying about their, I'm just worrying about, you know, left back and left,
Starting point is 00:05:28 who are they going to find to fill those positions? Left back or left wing? Is this a joke? Yep. Don't get it. Because they'll be all right, all right, all right. What? They'll be all right, all right.
Starting point is 00:05:44 They'll be all right, all right, all right. It was actually a good joke. It was a good joke in the end. I just couldn't find a way of expressing it properly. Anyway, shut up about your bloody films. I'm going to talk about a fucking dentist. Check this new story out from like ages ago. Yonks.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Decades. Right? This came up a few days ago, and I cannot stop thinking about it. This happened in Detroit back in, I think, the 80s. A 15-year-old boy went to his dentist, right, with a demand for him to remove his permanent braces. Obviously, it's quite a traumatic experience getting braces, and I didn't enjoy my time with fixed braces. It was bloody painful and bloody horrible, and I looked like a big silly. permanent braces uh obviously it's quite a traumatic experience getting braces and and i
Starting point is 00:06:25 didn't enjoy my time with fixed braces it was bloody painful and bloody horrible i look like a big silly um and uh yeah he this 15 year old boy went to the dentist demanding the dentist to remove his braces um and so much so that he pulled a loaded 45 caliber automatic automatic pistol at the dentist, the orthodontist, Norman Castins, ordering him to remove the braces immediately. And yeah, the dentist did exactly that. Apparently the boy had gone to loads of dentists in the area asking them to remove his braces. Nobody would do it for him.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Yeah, and then he turned it with a gun and threatened the dentist. Well, I read that. It says the boy had apparently asked other dentists in the area to remove his braces before visiting Carsten's office. Did he leave a trail of dead dentists in his wake? I'm thinking, yeah. They don't make it clear if he was pulling the gun on all these dentists or not.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Yeah, exactly. So why would you go to a new dentist? Just go to the first dentist twice and bring a gun the second time it doesn't make any sense i had him in the chair and he leaned over and he pulled the gun out of his pocket and said would this make you change your mind and i said yes i pissed my pants yeah so incredible so so yeah again he had to he wouldn, he wasn't pointing the gun at the dentist while he was doing it. But the youth kind of sort of decided to just put it on his lap for a little while. So, interesting.
Starting point is 00:07:53 A dental assistant overheard the conversation and called the police. And then he got arrested. Well, the gun went off, though. There was a struggle. Did it? Oh, yes, it did. Oh, no. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:03 In the scuffle, the boy grabbed a detective's gun causing it to start discharge into the floor um so it got pretty serious it just it seems a little a little bit much doesn't it we're all a bit silly when we're that age um but you said this he really wanted his braces off did you say this was from the 1980s, this article? Maybe. It looks like the 1980s. I don't know when this happened. I just don't think it really matters. Because I have a question mark.
Starting point is 00:08:30 No, underneath the writer's name of this article, it says where it comes from. I've got a question mark about that. What does it say there, Pete? Robert Musial. Robert Musial
Starting point is 00:08:39 from the Knight Rider newspapers. Oh, Knight Rider. Is it Knight Rider newspapers? Was there a Knight Rider newspaper in the 80s uh night well night ridder newspaper yeah i mean that must be like a little kind of county newspaper surely night the night county or the ridder it i weirdly i saw a night ridder and i thought batman what's that about weird um but you've got why is he why is he you've got lovely teeth now um i i know i do have a little bit of that yeah i had i had a bit of a disaster i had i had braces as well when i was about 14 or 15 probably 16 and 17 actually
Starting point is 00:09:18 and then a few months after i got them removed uh on my 18th birthday I had too much to drink and I fell over on my face and knocked my teeth out so my lovely beautiful fixed teeth that I'd spent years having painful orthodontistry on um were no more Chris you're a you're a drinky drinky folly folly over person aren't you I'm clearly I'm a drinky drinky go homey person like I'm a I'm a drinky drinky go homie person I'm a drinky drinky wait until I can get into a taxi kind of person, I'm a drinky drinky chat to the taxi driver person you're a drinky drinky folly off a person
Starting point is 00:09:54 yes, yes, my face my face is a mess of scars very different, oh you do have a cut on your head as well, what you, it's Jiminy Cricket but you're looking good though, you're looking well what you jiminy cricket but you're looking good though you're looking tan uh the last time i saw you looking tan you're looking like uh the video game character max pain there's many people uh many people giving you that uh look alike he's
Starting point is 00:10:13 got a lovely beard growing and you've got um a shaved head and you're very tanned a lot of people are sending me pictures of max pain at the moment and I didn't understand it at first. I think you were the first person to say something. And I know Max Payne as Mark Wahlberg. So... Yes. I forgot about, yeah. Well, he had a similar troubled past when he was younger. I don't think his wife was killed by a burglar
Starting point is 00:10:40 or something like Max Payne was. But ironically, I, about a month ago, bought a shirt that is exactly the same as that shirt that he wears in the pictures that everyone's sending me apart from my one has has um critter aliens hidden all over it it's a horror movie shirt oh is it right yeah nice i like that a lot it's a bit i mean you could i mean yeah i mean you could get away with walking around with a revolver demanding that dentists fix your teeth yeah and your head that's halloween sorted i think it would be good that's halloween sorry what's gonna happen with the halloween parties are there
Starting point is 00:11:13 halloween parties happening i'm scared there's no halloween parties uh happening well you can have i guess you can have a halloween party but you can't have more than six people have a grouse shooting one i combine a bit of grouse shooting and a little bit of halloween fun um so yeah um oh i've got a new new story as well and it's all about the little animals the little water bears that are called tardigrades or tardigrades tardigrades tardigrades basically they're like little little things that live on moss and dirt. And they're very, very small creatures. And they look very, very adorable.
Starting point is 00:11:53 They look like little fat bears with little claws and eight little feet. Are they real? Yeah. Yeah, they're real. They're like the smallest thing ever. And I think they can live in really weird places, like really sulfuric water. Like it's the only thing that will survive in that kind of solution, like really high sulfur content. Because I'd never heard the word tardigrade until the new series of Star Trek.
Starting point is 00:12:16 It became quite a central plot point was there was this creature called the tardigrade. And I thought, oh, that's a cool name that the Star Trek people have made up for this invented creature and now and then the article you sent me the picture of it doesn't look like a real thing it looks like a cartoon character it looks adorable they're tiny little cute little bears things but are you telling me that's it oh no see that's a rendering of a tardigrade so that's someone drawing one that's a, that's a 3D model. Yeah, that's a rendering.
Starting point is 00:12:45 That's a 3D model from Getty Images. But yeah, it's somebody. But the story goes, this company, this company have made some kind of like Christmas bauble renders of these little water bears. So like large water bears the size of Christmas ornaments are on sale on like Etsy or one of those kind of like online kind of kitschy websites. And PayPal will not process any of the transactions if it's got the word tardigrade in.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Now, immediately people thought that it was something to do with the word tard. And obviously, remember when you couldn't use the word scumthop for a while because it looked like it. You couldn't use scumthop in a database because it had the C word in it. Tard, obviously, a shortening of the word retard, which nobody uses anymore. But yeah, people thought it was originally that. There's a company called Tardigrade Limited who are on the naughty list, the blacklist of doing anything in the US business-wise, of the Office of Foreign Assets Controls. There's a sanctioned company called Tardigrade Limited. And so basically, PayPal will not allow anybody to sell Tardigrade products if they've got the word Tardigrade in the actual title. So if you are thinking of making Tardigrade-shaped products or calling your company Tardigrade, don't do it, because PayPal will have no truck with your business.
Starting point is 00:14:13 They have no business dealing with you. So just watch out, guys. Or we need to speak to Slobodan Tesic, the arms and munitions dealer, and see if he'll change the name of his company. That might be an easy way of doing it. It's registered in Cyprus. That's not far away. It's in Limassol.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Let's go around. We've got the address here. It's got the registration number of C3787837. So you can pop over and just say hello and go, look, guys, for the sake of the water bear, for the sake of the tardigrades, just change your bloody company name for crying out loud. If you've ever encountered a tardigrade in the wild,
Starting point is 00:14:50 if you know anything that we don't know about tardigrades, which is literally everything, do get in touch. Hello at LukeandPeteShort.com. We're going to take a short ad break and we'll get your emails in just a minute. Hi, I'm Nicole Goodman. And I'm Lauren Mishkun. In 2020, self-care can seem like yet another overwhelming job for women.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Every week, we test out a new kind of self-care so you don't have to. Firstly, can we just clarify how we pronounce it? Kombucha? Kombucha. Yeah. Kombucha. Kombucha. Self-care club.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Wellness road tested. So that was the first day. You know, it was just the not slipping into the complete default mode of what I normally do, which is have a go at my husband for what he hasn't done. And, you know, all of that stuff, I kind of stopped. Okay, so it was more the absence of meanness rather than the projection of kindness at this initial point. Yes. Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.
Starting point is 00:15:49 This week we are testing out menstrual cups. How are you feeling? Dreading it. I know that you love to give a practice that's all about down below. I'm not interested. I've never even really thought about it since before I met you. Never thought about your vagina until you met me. It doesn't get a lot of air time. It doesn't get a lot of air time.
Starting point is 00:16:06 It doesn't get a lot of air time. No, it doesn't. The Self Care Club is a Stakhanov production. And we're back with the wonderfully titled Christopher Tilley from the Clash of the Titles podcast.
Starting point is 00:16:23 It's all about films and that. And I heartily recommend it. Luke's away. He'll be back on Monday. He's currently halfway up a mountain still. He loves a bit of Scotland as well, Luke. Oh, yeah. I like Scotland. It's beautiful, but only in the summer. I can't go near it in the winter.
Starting point is 00:16:40 No. Well, the rainy season's always kind of like August. I can't be handling it.'ve already ever really been sort of edinburgh and glasgow and um uh where and a place in the middle and aberdeen glasgow was the last place i went before lockdown or before covid properly hit i went to a horror film festival there called fright fest and it was very strange no one one was sure what was coming. People were shaking hands, but weren't sure if we should be shaking hands.
Starting point is 00:17:08 And I remember that one of the hosts came out on stage with a face mask on and it got a big laugh. The idea that we'd have to wear a face mask. So that was in February, the end of February. And of course, you know. Nice. Who's laughing now? Who's laughing now?
Starting point is 00:17:24 Well, for the first few weeks of COVID, like the government were just saying, oh yeah, don't worry about the masks. Maybe we should have adopted the masks. Yes. We might have flattened that curve a bit. Right, first had it right. Oi, oi, oi.
Starting point is 00:17:36 What is the most iconic movie mask? Would it be the Scream mask? Would it be the Jason mask? Would it be the Mask Mask? What's the Mask Mask? Just the film, the mask from the mask mask what's the mask mask just the film the mask from the mask oh yes
Starting point is 00:17:49 the Jim Carrey the Jim Carrey one I thought you were referring to a film called Mask about a young lad with a facial deformity and I was
Starting point is 00:17:57 oh no that's is that he's a redhead boy Eric Stoltz he's a little redhead the original Marty McFly
Starting point is 00:18:03 yeah yeah interesting yeah um interesting yeah i reckon the scream one is the most iconic um and obviously we're getting a new scream uh movie coming soon so that'll be back in the news um because the jason one i mean it's just a hockey mask so he can't take credit for popularizing that. Did, did, um, remember Casey Jones from the turtles? Does he have a hockey mask? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Yeah. Yeah. Cause he was a hockey player. Similar to Jason. Right. Okay. Yeah. I see.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Anyway, let's get some emails. Um, we, we are terrible for not having enough time to, to, to read up some emails, but we've,
Starting point is 00:18:40 we've piled through all of the content very quickly and the, and the content that was pre-planned anyway. So let's get to some emails. I'm going to kick off with an email here. Anonymous illegal rave whistleblower. Please keep my title anonymous. And I have done so for the first time in Look and Picture Show history. I always read out their names accidentally and we've always got to bleep them.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Please keep me anonymous as the person I found out this from listens to the show. So I don't want to look like a big grass, but I'm going to grass anyway, because this is too interesting not to share. Anyway, I'm writing in after listening to your episode a few weeks back. We talked about the illegal raves going on at the moment, and they are still going on. There's not a day goes by that I don't see some Berkshire police force tweeting a picture of some illegal ravers on heat detecting drone cameras. It's all going off like a frog in a sock a friend of mine told me about someone who'd been contacted um potentially having an illegal rave on their land the company in inverted commas maybe it's tardigrade limited
Starting point is 00:19:37 who offered said rave offered 1500 pounds to them and the promise that they would organize the whole thing with the stage music security tickets dj and all sorts and they will pay them the money and give them 25 free tickets for friends to attend i don't want a bit more money than a grand and a half to be quite frankly 250 people apparently are going to attend uh overall as part of the deal the company signs a waiver which says they will pay any fines if they get caught and also there is an inter i mean i wouldn't trust that promise either and also there is an internationally... I mean, I wouldn't trust that promise either. And also, there is an internationally renowned DJ coming to perform. All happening between 2am and 5am. That is all. I do have more questions, though, that I'd love to know.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Travel, as you mentioned, would be a big issue. How will all these people get to a remote farm in the middle of the countryside? There's no parking, there's no local station or anything. Where do they sleep? Do they sleep? It'll be mid-September. The weather might be bad. What will they do until 2am when it begins? Is there a snack table? Do you bring your your own drink are bucket hats required to be worn um it seems like these raves are much more well organized than i thought with companies setting them up and they must be making a lot of money off the back of them it's all very interesting i thought
Starting point is 00:20:36 you might be interested in a further peek behind the curtain in the world of a rave i won't attend it's not for me really it's way too late slash early thank you the anonymous illegal rave whistleblower very interesting um i'm annoyed that i've not been invited to an illegal rave chris have you ever been to an illegal rave or even just a legal rave in your past and will you be attending one in the cold uh winter nights this year you're saying that but you're saying that you haven't been invited but he does say that it's an internationally renowned dj performing could that be you i have been known to broadcast as far as the netherlands on a cold am night when it's easier to transmit those am signals um yeah look i am for pay i am i am hot to truck guys uh get in touch uh hello
Starting point is 00:21:27 at lookandbeatshow.com if you'd like me to attend and dj um i have in in a my last house move i did throw a lot of my cds away because they were covered in uh vodka and red bull uh from the last time that i dj'd so it will be spot only, unfortunately, though I do have one of those little portable DJ decks that you can mix songs with. So look, hellolookpeachshow.com. You can only ask. You can only ask. I mean, as you know, I'm a bit of an indie kid,
Starting point is 00:21:54 so I wasn't a raver. I think the closest I've come to attending anything like what goes on at a rave is sort of three in the morning at Glastonbury or something in some remote field with something, you know, a sound system being set up and people dancing until the early hours. I mean, our anonymous whistleblower does ask, where will they sleep? Do they sleep? I don't think he's really understanding what happens at a rave.
Starting point is 00:22:17 There's a lot of drugs taken. You are definitely staying awake. There's no one sleeping at five in the morning so um yeah i mean yeah it's an interesting experience but not not something i'm in a hurry to repeat no but but i could see you in a little bucket hat dancing to like a remix a breakbeat remix a breakbeat jesus christ how old am i breakbeat remix of the stone roses oh yeah i'll be all over i'll be all over that all right then let's get the next email uh simon orc has got in touch chris do you want to say this one uh i can do oh yes there we go um yeah hello luke and pete
Starting point is 00:22:59 listen to your latest offering you were talking about the fattest man in Leicestershire. Were you? Yes, we were. He's a man who you see every now and again on the bus stop. For some reason, he's a famous Leicester celebrity. I think this is before they found an actual king in a car park. But yeah, big fat man. Yeah, fat man. So Simon says, I think you may be talking about Daniel Lambert, who was born in Leicester in 1770 and died in Stanford in 1809, weighing in at 52 stone and 11 pounds. At that point, he was older than John Tenter, the wrestler. I think he managed to get a little bit older than John Tenter even. At that point, he was the heaviest man in recorded history. Stanford still has a pub called the Daniel Lambert, along with several other references to his renowned fatty around the town.
Starting point is 00:23:52 So you're saying you've seen this person around Leicestershire and Simon saying he died in 1809. No, I didn't see the man. I saw pictures of him and he looks magnificent. Imagine, how old is he? 39 and he's managed to get to 52 stone. How are they even weighing that? I don't buy the 52 stone business.
Starting point is 00:24:17 That's incredible. So you've seen, what are these drawings of him or are these photographs from the 1700s? Paintings. Paintings of him. Okay, good. Because 1700s paintings paintings of him okay good because i was slightly worried we were saying something liable about some poor man in leicester who's got a weight problem but no daniel lambert yeah but we're talking about an old bloke who died okay uh wow so i'm just saying it's a lot it's a lot 52 stone is a lot it sounds like um if this comes
Starting point is 00:24:43 up a lot on the show maybe you need to record an episode in the daniel lambert pub or in daniel lambert his cadaver imagine how his bones are desiccated with all that pressure it must be annoying though if he you know if competitive um growth is your thing and you're 52 stone and 11 pounds that's a shitter in it that's that's how high he got just put out just put something in your pants like just to weigh yourself down a bit more to get over the 53 stone mark awful awful business um hello to uh who we got here ian hello ian hello just catching up on some week old shows uh that could be spelt either way um and you got me thinking uh which is no mean feat i'm in my 40s now and i'm working from home and it's a blessing there's no commute there's
Starting point is 00:25:29 more homes under the hammer etc but when i think how me 20 years ago would have coped my life would have been so much more worse off we were talking about um the the double-edged sword of being able to work from home and how you know it's it for a lot of people may not um affect their mental health in a positive way uh but then for others might be a better way of doing things i met my wife in my first job after university i started my second job when i was 24 and i still have a close to a group of 10 friends friends who bonded through five-side football tours to play the head office in switzerland and many drug and misadventures in london likely none of that would have happened if we'd only interacted through a screen um i have
Starting point is 00:26:05 no point but i am i am enjoying a dog walking beer as a throwback to an old topic uh yeah we were talking about strange uh different kinds of beer um shower beer um like walkie beers walking out to to where you're gonna be um uh go to sleepy beers if you fancy that it's not okay but but yeah dog walking beer that's not one i've enjoyed myself beers if you fancy that it's not okay but but yeah dog walking beer that's not one i've enjoyed myself but i do fancy that i do fancy a dog walker beer it's not a bad show actually have you uh have you got a special kind of beer that you um you you rate massively while cooking beer what you have different beers for different activities different kinds of different beers you can um match it up with a particular brand if you want,
Starting point is 00:26:46 but it's just a different classification of beer. Shower beer, bed beer. If you're operating a threshing machine beer, risky. But there's different kinds of beers for different kinds of things. And what's a bed beer? I mean, are you literally talking about lying in bed drinking beer before you go to sleep? A drink drinking a beer. That is very problematic.
Starting point is 00:27:04 And then are you having another one when you wake up, your second bed beer in the morning? Exactly. One for sleepies, one for wickies. I rarely have more than one kind of beer in my fridge. This would suggest that you'd have like eight different kinds of beer ready to go in your fridge at any time. Again, this sounds like you might have a problem.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Yeah. If you're having a toilet system beer, maybe have one less until it might have a problem yeah if you hide if you're having a toilet system beer maybe maybe have one less until it's not a problem um that is my solution to everything guys just have one less until it's not a problem anymore i realize that's not how addiction works but just have one less until it's not a problem anymore uh but yeah um also um being at home a little bit more than you'd usually be at home, are you watching any sort of weird telly that you would not usually watch? Because obviously your job is film, so obviously you're watching a lot more films than you would usually get through,
Starting point is 00:27:52 I imagine. But is there any kind of really crappy telly that you just can't get enough of? I'll tell you what I'm watching a lot of, and it's not crap telly, or it might be. Some of it is. It's this channel I discovered on the high numbers called talking pictures tv oh that's what my dad watches you're turning into my dad oh black and white there was a steve mcqueen film on there last week yeah they pick up old films on the cheap and screen them and
Starting point is 00:28:16 you know it's not in high definition um but there's some real gems on there and some absolute classics as well like pal and press burgers movies i love but i like some of the old sort of classic british comedies i've seen all the famous healing ones but it's just some of these these more obscure very strange films um so i've just really enjoyed that of an afternoon watching a couple of old black and white films um does that make and they were short back then weren't they oh yeah yeah yeah you're not you're not you're not going much over 80 minutes, so it's not a whole afternoon. Am I turning into your dad?
Starting point is 00:28:48 Yeah. I think you are turning into my dad. Oh, my dad. My dad just constantly... Basically, when a man aggressively kisses a woman in one of those old films, such was the leading man would always grab the leading lady and sort of stoop with her
Starting point is 00:29:04 and kind of quite aggressively kiss her. And my dad will send me a clip of it and go, won't get that in a film nowadays. I go, no. And for the better. Cinema's got better. Cinema's learned that that is unacceptable. So yeah, it's basically just that.
Starting point is 00:29:17 And cameos from Steve McQueen when he pops in. Because Steve McQueen, I love Bullet and I loved Towering Inferno and stuff like that. But you do watch a lot of Steve McQueen when he pops in on some like really because Steve McQueen like I love bullet and I loved like towering inferno and stuff like that but you do watch a lot of Steve McQueen and he was all just presence wasn't he he would he didn't really do much he's a bit like uh who's in Blade Runner 20 whatever uh Ryan Gosling like he I could watch that man take out the bins because he's just got such great presence he doesn't really have to act at any point. Like the most acting I think he's ever done is like Lars and the Real Girl or that one where he took heroin as a teacher. Bad teacher, I think it was called.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Oh, God, what's it called? It's really good as well. Naughty teacher. But yeah, I think Steve McQueen got away with doing very little acting in his films. He would do lots of bits of business when you watch him. And do you know what I mean when I say bits of business? No. He would be fiddling with things. I'm pretending.
Starting point is 00:30:15 He would be fiddling with things. He would be touching things. He'd be moving. And so he was all about getting the attention on him from his co-stars. And I think when he sort of announced himself on the world stage, it was Magnificent Seven. And Yul Brynner was the movie star in that, not Steve McQueen. But there's a scene where they're together where it's Yul Brynner's doing
Starting point is 00:30:37 all the speaking, sitting on a stagecoach. But Steve McQueen's doing stuff with his gun, like doing little tricks. And he was really annoying Yul Brynner off set, apparently, by doing this. And then Yul Brynner got even more annoyed when he watched the film because he realised that whole scene, you're not watching him,
Starting point is 00:30:52 you're watching Steve McQueen. He's doing stuff behind his back. Yeah. Little cheeky scam. He's doing like a Rubik's Cube. He's brought in some executive toys. He's got a little Newton's cradle that he's fiddling with.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Oh, wonderful. He's got a stress ball.'s cradle that he's fiddling with oh wonderful he's got a stress ball oh wonderful very enjoyable half nelson we're at yeah half nelson did you just google that yeah you shit you should not be googling anything that's what this show is all about um well chris thank you very much for joining us thank you for um filling in for uh looky looky yaramua uh look we'll be back on monday unless he rolls his ankle on his big scottish mountain um yeah how could people uh get involved with your podcast uh clash the titles wherever you get your pods or we are at clash pod on twitter if you want to see what we're chatting about and also pete are you going to come and guest again i've told you the films i want you to do don't say them because it's got to be a surprise.

Starting point is 00:32:03 Was it that stupid one that you told me about um with the with with jared butler um no not playing for keeps which i believe there's the title that one um i think um if it wasn't goal three it might have been soccer dog european cup european pop i think it was a soccer dog yeah soccer might mean soccer dog where they where they went to scotland i can't really remember but there were some pretty dreadful ones. There was a good Portuguese one that was like a parody of the Cristiano Ronaldo kind of character. Very, very bizarre.
