Welcome to the Never seen a podcast.
Any podcast called, I never seen a podcast that is worth listening to
for five very simple, easy reasons, of course reason number one, Mr. R.
Arding the one man parties here.
Arnold Callego, Mr. Alex Gallego, the brothers Calego, a.
K. daily dares, a.
K. Filipino Grigio,
the cousin Caligo, Mr. Donny apple seed
is here, and of course we have Mr. Justin
and A. Shibbs the zombie and there's me boots too big.
What are we talking about today?
What really quick.
I want to say this is a slightly somber version of
the never seen the podcast because we lost the late great
David Lynch earlier this week.
David Lynch, of course, the mad genius find such films
as Mullhall and drive blue velvet and
erasererhead twin peaks and the original done.
He was the first done Goon Arnold.
You thought you were the goon guy here now it was David Lynch
and uh yes, he did pass away at the ripe age of I think he was 79 years old.
I probably should have looked that up before we started, but that's fine.
You know, he lived a long life.
He was a true artist and now he's gone.
But
with that said, I would pour one out for him.
I'm not drinking whiskey, but these guys are.
Maybe you guys can pour one out for him later.
We'll see.
This is this is the never seen podcast course we're talking about
the movie the 2003 film directed by Soia Copola lost
in translation.
Starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansen, log
line, two lost souls visiting Tokyo, the young neglected
wife of a photographer, and a washed up movie star shooting
a TV commer.mercial find an odd solace and pensive freedom to to be
to be real in each other's company away from
their lives in America.
Ians are about somber.
There's a somber story for you lost in translation.
I've seen it.
I was in high school and this movie came out.
It's crazy to think this movie came out over 20 years ago now at this point.
We''
not in my
Surprise surprise but
um awesome well hey but really quick I got give a shout
out to you Donnie for creating these cool shirts.
I've never seen a party
you the brandnold
take off your shirt right now and put it on right now.no
just a shirt off your shirt off right now. you go.
Oh no.
Oh, he's going to really do it too.
I did not consent.
The ban did it This is going to live forever in infam.
Oh my god. for those of you listening to the show
um Arnold just kind of streaked on by uh literally and figuratively.
Arnold, uh please come back as long as you're decent.
Is that his dog?
I believe so.
I believe so.
Sorry, I forgot the exit was that way.
You want to talk about censorship.
Now we need censorship after that show.
Whoops.
I apologize, everybody.
No, you're I forgot to tie my my my sweatpants
and they're a little a little loose and and so as
I was running, it was kind of falling down.
Okay, well, let's move on from that.
um but no, but seriously, so Arnold, you're the only one here who
has not seen lost in translation for real I want to
I want to start with you.
What did you think?
Okay.
All right.
So the movie starts off um with a flat butt uh
uh very similar to this show.
allergies.
Wow, why why thank you.
I um think it's pretty flat.
I don't know if that's good though, uh because anyways, um
this movie, man,
talk about, um, I don't know, would you sexual
tension or like, uh you you just keep thinking, are they?
Oh, what you you could they did such a good job
in the ah,
like speaking without words,
just, you know, by the way they look, like you can totally like
it really felt like you
you uh see it actually actually happen in life where
you're like, oh man, you you can you
can feel that something's going on between those two over there or or even if
it happens with you, you're like man,
uh and I I'll go into a
little bit more later..
I feel like one of the biggest themes of this movie is like loneliness, isolation.
I mean, were you able to relate to that at all Arnold while watching this?
Well, uh so I guess I'll I'll I'll talk about it now.
So
now, this is probably around the same time that the movie came out.
I used to work at the courtyard Marriott and um
I remember uh, so
other Marriotts in in different cities, they'll,
especially around Christmas time, they'll reach
out to other Marriottes like, hey, will any of your people
cover for us so we can have our Christmas party?
So then
I remember going to uh
one in San Diego and then I went with
um a coworker who, which I
was uh always trying to uh holla at at that time.
But then, um she she had a
boyfriend so yeah, I was I was one of those guys, but but
we had like history from like school We're like
friends and then it was one of those situations where like
you can you can um and everybody
that I worked with there just like they thought that we had something going on.
Like there's always like flirtatious vibes and everything.
but uh and so we went up there together to
work and cover for that for that um that Marriott's uh Christmas party.
And then um this was way before I was married um
and uh I thought that something
was going to happen, but the one person that
was working there at at
that Marriott who didn't want to go to their Christmas party, um kind of hit it off
with her and
um uh it
made me think of that just like just just right off the bat, like the vibes and everything and
uh I'm glad you say that because
this movie would do numbers with Jen Z because they're
all about the vibes and this movie is so vibey. isn't
it like it's it's it's not obviously there's a story, but like the
atmosphere of being in Tokyo, the lights
of the city and stuff.
But if you notice, it was filmed in a
very flat color profile, like when
I see Tokyo on social media now, it's like, oh, this big, bright, colorful
city, but this movie, she went for a much more dull
color palette.
Did you notice that like visually that sort of vi?
I agree with that.
They uh uh she really toned it down, but in the scenes that really
uh she needed to express the excitement
of the the moment.
She really amped it up and they went to locations that
were really vibrant.
Like they were, you know, they had all the lights and
that you know when you think of Tokyo and, you know other parts of Japan.
Arcade games, Claon..
The way I saw it was kind of like
uh you know, I agree with Alex, you know, the the stylistic
choice and and using colors properly in in certain scenes.
But I also feel like um maybe it's maybe it's just like
um a way for them to show that you're like
this is just kind of everyday life more than anything. um
Maybe it's, you know, not always so bright and colorful,
especially when you're just there for business, something so
uh drastically boring, you know, even though he's
famous and he's like shooting commercials and stuff like that, uh I feel like, hey, calm down back there.
I feel like, uh
it was more of a thing where it's like,
you know, maybe this is kind of more of a realistic approach
to what the city is actually like.
You know, it's not all, you know, sunsets and rainbows all the time.
It's it's uh is it isn't it
was it is it Japan or China that's like
Tokyo Japan, I mean, like is it China
or Japan, uh where it's like, uh
it's just like a uh what do they call it the concrete jungle or something like that?
I think that's
like China or something like that.
But, I mean, give or take.
It's a big city type of thing and there's not a lot of color.
I mean, most cities are very
monochromatic, uh if you think about it.
The way the way I see it, though.
But the way I see it,
though, was uh she was expressing the
the loneliness she felt that these two people felt
with their monochromatic sort of tones that she they took.
This is just another way of conveying that emotion, because like
they're both feeling this loneliness, you
know, even though they're in relationships.
I think one of the things that I put down in my notes is like,
um one of the uh we
often think the loneliness as just being solo
as a one one person, but some a lot of times the loneliest times you
can be in be lonely is with a person.
Like I I mean, in my own personal experiences, you know,
I was married, you know, but even during those
times that there was like, especially the last maybe
year and a half to two years.
Those were probably the loneliest moments of
my life, you know I can relate to that.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
It's crazy.
The idea that you can be with someone and
still feel lonely, even though you're married to them, you see them every day and stuff.
Yeah, that that that definitely tells you that there's something to uh
to rethink. or even maybe
even like slightly like burdened by them, you know?
I actually feel like that's kind of a thing because like
one of the notes that I, you know, noticed or that I took from this movie is that like
um when his wife calls him, uh when
what is her name Lydia calls uh Bob and
she's like, hey, you know, what was it her daughter's son?
I couldn't really get it that.
But um she was like, oh, you know, come say hi to your dad.
And
um she's like, no.
And then, um and then he's like,
hey, and then later on in the movie, he's like hey, uh
um, you know, I want to start eating healthier.
I want to eat more Japanese food and then she's like, you know, then
why don't you stay there and you can have it all the time.
And she's just super passive aggressive
and you know, even though he's going through this
moment where, you know, he's kind of like on the fence of his marriage,
um it's like she's kind of passive aggressive
and and he's almost like he almost feels burdened by that.
That's what I got out of that.
Yeah, that's interesting.
And what I found interesting was that
uh Scarlett Johansson's characters with Giovanni Rabisi's
character and that kind of goes back to the whole thing.
Like you can tell like from the beginning that like they're not
like they're together, but are they together?
You know what I mean?
Like they like they're like the vibe is off, right, with their relationship
I I want to point out, um speaking of um what's his name, uh
John?
Gianiovanni's character.
One thing I did notice, um is
that like, he's kind of like a fast paced trying to go
somewhere, do photography stuff.
One thing I noticed, which I thought was a pretty neat
way that his
character was portrayed, was that he spoke like
really fast, almost to the point where you couldn't really understand him.
Like he was kind of like all over the place when he was talking.
And half the time, I feel like
when I'm when I'm watching him speak, I don't really, truly understand him.
And quite frankly, I actually understand what
the other Japanese folk were like talking about, even though like I
couldn't understand what they were saying, I kind of got the gist of what
they were trying to direct Bob to do or, you know,
it felt like it felt like John um
was, you know, a little bit less understandable than everybody else in the room.
I don't know if you all noticed that. as
you were explaining that, uh I was I was just thinking about that.
I'm like, oh yeah.
because you was kind of just like, yeah,
like like you said, just moving fast, talking fast.
And but then like when they're talking about stuff in
the hospital, even Bill Murray, he's like,
didn't fully understand it, but he was like, yes,
yes, all right, yeah, okay, that way, or something like that.
You know what I liked about this film was uh the uh
the dual meaning of a lot of things that
happen in the film, especially the uh um idea
of being lost in translation.
The the choice to not put subtitles for
all the Japanese people at times that they they they put they have people speaking in Japanese
was a great choice because it's kind of like another
layer of um meaning to it.
Like they are literally lost in translation.
They can't understand the language.
They're trying, they're doing their best.
And if you think about it like
that's what they're trying to do in their own relationships.
They're trying to communicate yet
like with like Justin brought up the with Bob
Bob, his wife, Lydia,
she doesn't understand understand what he's
going through and he's trying to communicate it, but he's not
she's not getting it and she's not she's just so caught
up in herself and what she's trying to do and trying to um
like take care of the kids and she thinks like
what Bill Murray's doing is not important or
whatever, you know, or maybe he it's like he's still living this
like Hollywood actor lifestyle
when she's trying to live this like regular life that
she thought or there's obviously a lot of like miscommunication
in the relationship and same thing with um Charlotte and uh John.
They're they are not communicating or they they
Charlotte's trying to communicate, but she does it sometimes in
these passive ways like in the scene where he
she she's like he's like packing up to go to a photo shoot. um
She's in the room.
They're all talk they're talking together and,
you know, she's, you know,
John saying something to him and then she's like, yeah, you know.
It's like, he's like, that's what I said.
And then all of a sudden, but like she's trying to communicate in all these other passivegressive ways.
Like she's she smokes and she's smoking a
cigarette in the room and she's like, that's just kind of her
passive aggressive ways of like trying to
get attention from him.
You know, and then there's also like him,
like her just like walking around, basically like
half naked, like in front of him, like, like look at him.
I'm naked in front of you.
Like I like just in her underwear.
I don't know.
Yeah I know like was it Bob?
He like, there is a point in time, because I don't
think he ever mentioned it to his wife at all in any phone calls or messages or whatever.
But like when he's talking to Charlotte,
uh he mentions he's like, yeah, I got this whiskey
deal um and it I forget verbatim
what he says, but he he's like, I'm getting like two million dollars out of this deal.
That's why he's here.
He doesn't necessarily enjoy it.
He's just doing it for the paycheck and his wife, who's probably
pounding them about it, just doesn't understand
that he's he's out there to make this money for them.
You know, it's it's not necessarily he doesn't
want to be there with his wife or his kid, because he obviously cares
about them in some shape or form to be going out to this
by himself, doing all this, um
getting put in these situations
while working that he's clearly like not very comfortable with
and he just wants to get in, get out.
It just he has a he
sees Charlotte as like this familiar that
can relate to the situation.
She's not having a good time.
He's not having a good time.
Let's meet up and have a good time together regardless of what
may come of it, you know. at least what
I get out of it is that even though it may not have been like
a relationship or maybe like a like lost love opportunity, you know, they still
um enjoyed spending time
together regardless of the outcome at the end of it.
Well, I think that's just what it was, right?
Like what they were both missing in the relationship they found in
that other person, just just in a in a random place.
And so
it's like they fulfilled the needs that was lacking in their own personal relationships,
which I found like very relable, right?
That's.
Oh, sorry, I was going to say real quick that um
what do you guys think?
I know what I think, but what do you guys think is worse?
Emotional cheating or physical cheating?
Because to me, emotional cheating is actually worse, but that's just me.
personally I I've experienced um
and sadly sadly, uh I kind of participated
in um both sides.
You bastard.
Well, I mean, so like, so
my, you know, I've experienced um the emotional
uh infidelity.
I and that was, you know, I don't
want to like get into it who did it and you know, that's like not
here and or there. um but I have participated
in it was like before the pandemic, it was like it
it was one of those things that you just like you're lonely and
you you the opportunity was there.
and, you know, it
it didn't feel good to after it happened, it didn't
feel good, you know, it it like I felt really bad
about it and looking
back on who this
person was was it was just like a a one night fling, you know?
It happened like really fast
you know.
And she was drunk.
I was walking her home actually to her hotel.
and it happened, you know, and,
you know, I don't even like, but she was also about to get married.
She even told me like when when we first, when she
when you first when when he first met, like it was at like one of the stuff, like I was at
um I was working, you know, I was I
was like, and uh we were we kind of hit
it off talking, you know, but then over like
over the evening, she progressively got drunker and drunker
and they they they
uh they were like, hey, so can somebody walk her home?
And I was like,
you know, she she made the move on me, you know.
I want to see that ind film, Alex.
We should write that.
I'm that would actually be a good indie.
You know what part of the Palm Springs film.
There you go.
I want to win all the week.
No, I're I know what you're saying.
I've never I haven't had that, but I have
been like emotionally felt when I was in a relationship.
feelings towards somebody else for a very brief period of time.
It was really weird.
But, you know, it is what it is, right?
I feel like uh the people who are not monogamous are always
like, yeah, man, humans aren't meant to just be with one person, dude.
But there is some there is some truth to that I feel like
if you're not if you're not with the right person, if you're not happy with the person you're with, you're
you're going to feel stuff for somebody else..
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
loneliness is a big is a human condition that we all feel.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, Ifortunately
I've never want to sell you courses and I' not be lonely anymore, but that's a whole conversation.
Go ahead.
No, no, no.
I no, it's it's like I've
I've I've never this is my perspective.
I've never cheated.
I've been cheated on a few times and it's a really, really shitty feeling.
Have I thought about it in the past, yes,
but the thing is is that I've I'm like so
hard on myself or I was so
hard on myself and so self-conscious of myself that
like even if there were ever an opportunity
that arose in that shape or form,
I don't I don't think it would ever even remotely happen.
At least in the past, I never been like been like,
oh, you know, I'm confident enough to
do something like that because I never saw myself as
attractive enough to um I
don't know, for anybody to be like, oh, you know, like who cares if you're a relationship?
I want to sleep with you.
I've I've never experienced that before
uh because of that reason, because I never really thought I was like
attractive enough to be in that situation.
But I have been cheated on and uh
and going to back to your question if
I would rather be I would rather not be cheated at
all emotionally or physically, but honestly,
I think from my experience, it
it hurts knowing that they
cheated on me physically, but in
my mind, it's like, I have been in that moment where it's
like, even though I didn't see it, I kind of knew it was happening.
I'm like, I think that's the worst part is that you're
sitting there stewing and brewing in it and
you're like, man, I I know for a fact that they're probably out there with somebody.
And then and then being right
is is the worst part being right about
it and it really fucking sucks.
You know, and it's funny because we're talking about cheating, but in this
movie, they don't really they don't cheat on their rest respective partners, but there is an emotional
cheating going on, right?
And I was thinking, he does definitely.
I feel like they they really tread that line.
They really walk out that line that that line very carefully.
Like
Charlotte and Bob never crossed that line.
I mean, they they
kiss in the end, but that's
I'll talk about that what what it said later on.
Well, what I wanted to say was that the setting is right for that sort of thing, right?
Because like you're in a foreign land, you're away from your home
and your partner well not in her case, I guess.
But you know, it's like you' in this might as well be miles away.
Yeah, might as well be.
And and it's like that's like the classic like
scenario for like cheating emotional or otherwise where it's like
you're in a big a big foreign city and you're
getting lost together in your own like fucking sadness and loneliness.
They were like at the restaurant together she was even with her husband
and she just like turned around, looking
at looking at him while he's there while her husband's right there and then sends him a drink.
I'm not sure if it's that scene, but like, uh or
where there's like two scenes where like she just
gets up and leaves that whole conversation and goes
and sits with him and her husband doesn't even uh
like say anything or do anything or My
theory on that is that she maybe like
she has like an idea because I mean, just the way that she was judging
anifarious or what's her name?
uh Kelly. um the
way she was like judging her in the beginning and looking at her, like,
you know, oh, this little spitf fire, you know, dressed in red blonde lady
is talking to my husband, you know?
So maybe she like has an idea that
maybe he would have is just she didn't necessarily
really care in that moment in time because when she
was like calling her friend in the beginning and she was
like, oh, you know, I went out and I saw some monks doing like a ceremony.
I felt nothing.
And I think that's kind of how she felt was like
she just felt a nothingness from from this entire situation anyway.
Yeah.
You know, going back to what Arnold was saying, um
I've met couples in person in real life where one
of them, one of the people in the in in that relationship
was like either super oblivious to everything or like so
aloof that the other person could like bang somebody right in front of them and they wouldn't even notice.
You know what I mean?
Like I met couples like that.
So it was like J character is like, that's
so true with people in me because I don't.
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing.
It's like I feel that um where
where she where Charlotte was,
um she didn't necessarily
feel that um she
was trying she just wanted attention, you know,
like like how Justin was saying and like there was this like this numbness
that she was feeling for everything around her and she was just
trying to feel something and those
those quick glances at this that she she she probably obviously like recognized Bob
as a celebrity and them like having
these glances and these like these looks at each other.
And it's it's it's not something that you like
will deny, especially somebody who's just like wants
to feel something and
not feel so numb about like just being alive.
Yeah, when you're missing something in that relationship, it's like you're going to go look for it elsewhere, you know?
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, that's the truth.
Yeah, yeah.
But I I think in this movie, it was like they they needed each other, right?
In a way, they kind of saved their their marriage, or at least that's how I interpreted at the end, right?
Because it's kind of like they were they were missing an element in their
own relationship and they found that in each other.
But it also at the same time, it helped
them realize, you know, the reality of things and where
they what they need to work on personally to make their actual relationship works.
But um
I I think they, yeah, they they they kind
of it kind of saved their their marriage or, yeah, their marriages, I think.
I don't think it necessarily saved their marriages.
I think it saved themselves.
Can I go back to the the question that you pose uh what's worse, physical or emotional?
Okay, uh but I also have a question is
um is like, would you consider porn?
or or or liking um uh
some some posts uh on social media, uh
or or like, um I have a question to pose for you.
hold on, hold on No, it's wait wait.
I want to answer.m I'm going to say that it's
not cheating, but it could cause issues in your relationship
because you're going to make your woman or the other person
feel insecure about if you're looking at somebody else social media for example.
So it's not cheating.
Go ahead.
Sorry.
Don.
No, no, no, I'm just saying it's just, you know it's not
I agree with Don Don, he's he's you
have to communicate that you are doing these things and
like, yeah, it's it's okay to do these things
to like look at to watch porn, to like,
look at posts to like posts even of like pretty girls.
It's it's not okay if you try to hide it.
you know?
But on the other side, though, I
was going to say, there's there's there's no emotional and there's no physical.
You know what I mean?
Like it it's it's crazy, but it's just looking.
It's like casual looking.
observation, just
showed up I don't.
Well, really quick.
So Justin, what was the question you now I'm curious, what was the question you were ask?
No, I think what I was going to ask is like
Arnold, are these like in my opinion,
in my opinion, I think if you're like liking, other people's photos and
they're just like complete random internet strangers of
just like supermodels or porn stars that you follow.
I think that's all it's all fine.
It's like it's like, are you ever going to like be in that
situation unless like you're a porn star model yourself?
Is there ever going to be a scenario where you're going to be that one random lucky guy
that is going to get in bed with them?
I feel like I feel like the line is drawn
where it's like it like either becomes an obsession
thing or if are any of these people, like people,
you're close with, like coworkers, is it like close friends or something like that that are
female or male, whatever, you know, uh
whateveriderron, I guess it's like is this becoming like
a noticeable like habit and communication,
I feel like that is when it gets to the point of crossing the line, especially if you have a partner already.
Yeah, but it's not like I'm not like responding to like Alexis
Texas's story posts and and, you know, responding and saying like, hey, we should do a collaboration.
I do a podcast.
Here's a link.
You know, I don't do anything like that.
Yeah, that's the thing.
There's no like if there's no intention behind your actions,
I think it's, you know, it's it's fine.
But when you start, he's not to Texas, right?
That difference.
Can I just say really quick, by the way some people on letterbox
have no chill like this person left to fucking review saying the
earliest hints of scarlet Johannes's Asian heritage can be traced back to the filming of this movie
worst movie of all time what?
This is a great movie of review yeah this is one
of my favorite movies of all I was like one of my all yeah obviously
why are they genuinely both so lonely well I wonder that's the question of the movie idiot
um anyway I just wanted to share that really
quick but so talk to me because I feel like so
this is one of your favorite movies of all time tell me what this movie means to you
Well I just find it like very relatable, right?
Like I feel like we've all been in a situation where you're in a relationship
where you feel like the other person isn't isn't
really there with you or in the same place as you at that time, right?
Like you're just
I don't know.
I've been in numerous relationships where we're just not seeing eye to eye anymore.
We're just in different places in different points of our life, right?
And I think this movie captures out really well.
That's a great point.
Yeah, I mean,
I I see it as very relatable as well, especially
now more as an adult because when I watched this as a teenager,
there's a there, you know, the relationship stuff you know, I couldn't really relate to at that point in my life.
But now that I now that I watched it as an adult,
I almost feel like more related
to a to Bill Mary's character, you know, Even
though I'm not an out of work aging actor, I
guess just the fact that he's like this guy and he's like not happy
and he's like, you know, low-key kind of sad and shit, even though
he's getting paid good money to do a whiskey commercial.
I guess that aspect of it as a as
a low paid 39 year old man is actually very relatable.
So now we're just out of work and aging.
Yeah.
Not in Trump's America, damn it.
Not on Trump.
Yeah, It's like his
line of work uh he's successful, obviously, right, or he
was successful as an actor that movie, but at the same time it damaged
his relationship because you remember when he's talking about how
his wife used to go with him and in all the places he would shoot, but now
they have kids and like she's at home and it's like it
like it all it it helped them, but it also it it's
just it's part of the reason they they drifted apart.
Yeah, it's it lost its shine.
You know, that's kind of like the whole sort of thing.
It like when in relationships and why they well
why people constantly say, your relationships need to evolve
and grow and continue to date that person.
Yeah.
Exactly.
You have to continually date that person because
it's not like just this easy thing where like the communication needs to be there.
Date night.
And let me ask you guys this.
What do you guys think about the city of Tokyo as a character?
Because I feel like this movie wouldn't work if it was set in like Topeka, Kansas.
You know what I mean?
I love
it too.
That was actually that was like one of my notes.
I was like I love how instantly um
this uh this movie just felt like a dream.
They make like so they
have that initial shot that like here's what like a couple of my notes.
Like first note, automatically hooked by scarlet
soft curves, her slight movement, see through
underwear and the music of my bloody valentine.
She instantly became one of my favorites of all time, you know.
And then second I was like I love how instantly they make
Japan feel like a dream, where like they cut from that
shot of her ass.
And then, you see Bill Murray waking up in
a cab in Tokyo And so it's like
it feels like Japan
to me and I feel like it probably is the same for you guys.
to go there, I it's one of my dreams to go there, right?
And if like I
know when I when I do go there, it will feel like a like I'm living in a dream
because it just everything feels so unreal, you
know, like we we've lived in America and like everybody
says that all the time whenever they come to they they go to Japan.
It's like it just it's a it's another world.
And that's what it feels like in this movie in that scene where they cut from
the first shot to like Bill Murray waking up in the cab.
He's just like, like befuddled and amazed
and like, like like surprised by
everything he's seeing through the window of that cab.
It's like incredible to me.
Like that's
what this whole journey feels like.
They're like going through this journey of a
dream in Japan together.
I like the.
No, I was just going to say, like I like the I like what
you're talking about in in it does have like dreamesque
scenes to it like like the scenes where they're out uh out and about in the at night
um and then they're going through like the pacinco casinos and then the
arcade, everything is just so static and noisy
and lively and just so fast pace.
Everything's just moving super fast and during those scenes of them having a night out.
It's just one thing after another and just seems like
the craziest, like, like whenever
you're in like a dream situation and everything just seems
to be flying by you like really fast, yet you can you
can't really recollect the whole lot of like what's going on around you.
You just know that you're you're living in that moment
uh in this dreamscape.
So I I see I kind of see what you're
talking about when it comes to it being like a dream.
Yeah.
Like even the choice of the music, too, from my bloody Valentine is so dreamy.
That's so early 2000s, by the way.
Yeah, I love it.
I heard somebody say once that you'll actually hate going to
Japan because when you come back to the US, you realize what a shithole it is here.
I'm like is that's that I just go.
I I feel that way just why I've been watching YouTube videos.
Come on.
You know Copola
chose the the location before she created this story, so
she she knew she wanted to shoot in Japan.
It's kind of cool.
I think that's great because um not
to get to too inside baseball, but like, you know, I I do a lot of writing and I read about writing a lot and stuff like that.
And one of the big things you always read about is um hall
location and setting is is also a character in your story.
you know, um so that's why I was that's why I was wondering
what you guys thought about Tokyo as a character because it's such
a different city than, especially compared to any even like
New York here in the U. like it's just not the same vibes, I think, right?
I think that's the perfect place to get lost, right?
That's.
I think this past year, there were so many people
that I knew that I know that that went to to Japan, like, um,
I don't know.
It's it's like a hotspot right now.
It's and we're all going to Japan.
We're what I hear very
clean bathrooms, even the public bathrooms, they're like
t got to be afraid to go over there guys. use
the public bathroom that that's something you're worried about.
I plan my I plan my trips around it.
where people have a fear of.
All right, comfortable place at auntie's house.
I can go bathroom.
Oh, mom's over there.
Okay.
Oh, there's that upper upper bathroom at the Marriott.
Dude, I used to work in a resort
where the bathrooms were basically like big fancy wooden closets.
Like the doors were huge.
It was so private.
It was so fucking fancy in a better bathroom.
What's that?
Upstairs bathroom at theott.
I'm not going to tell you which one, which city's.s for public bathrooms, Arnold
a traveling show, bro.no
it Vegas Vegas is h
thing
that for sure will make me go a bathroom, you know whatever
big meal, but then I'll have it like with like, say
a beer, but then eat ice cream, the beer and ice cream don't mix for me.
really quick, really quick.
Arnold, have you ever walked into either a Ross or
a Barnes & Noble and you had to take a dump?
No, but I have to Macy's.
Macy's?
Oh, one time it was so bad and and because my wife she loves to
craft and uh we're at a hobby
lobby and we she would she could just be in there for hours and I
was like, oh, we just got there and like like,
okay, well I'll go and take a look at this bathroom over here.
I'm like, wow,
this is going to take a look at it.
This is this is really nice. almost like I don't need to put the seat cover on.
I mean, the the toilet seat cover on.
But um I did I raw dog it.
I ain't used enough to get
I don't care.
I raw dog this shit on.
Okay.
You know the tip to go to find a good bathroom,
always go to hotels, always the third floor.
If they have a mezzanine and there as an open bathroom there,
nobody goes to the third floor.
Nobody wants to
What's?
Nobody wants wants to work out their legs.
Exactly.
All they were talking about just nothing to
do with the movie. in the park.
I was just going to throw in my quick bathroom story
when I went to the Philippines and they charge you by the square for
toilet paper and I I didn't know I was just I'm like I
thought they were giving me one roll and they're like, how many squares?
And I'm like, how many squares?
That's crazy.
Are you serious?
I'm serious and I went to the I went to the store right.
I was just going to say I went to the store right after that and bought bought rolls of the toilet paper to carry with me everywhere I went.
Speaking of taking shits um and
eating food, um vice versa, um
I I wanted to like kind of like bring it back in and throw it out there.
So like remember do you remember that story that
Kelly was telling at the table before um
Charlotte like got up and she was like talking about like,
oh like kind of it was it her dad?
It was anorexia and stuff like that?
So I don't know if you notice this.
They kind of do like a little bit of a flip.
um, you know, because they say like, oh hey, like because
he was like a prisoner of war and then like they like poisoned his food um
uh, you know, and that's why he got anorexia or they said they poisoned his food.
That's why he got anorexia.
Well, like they um
like bring it back a little bit later on
in in the movie. um was it
uh I had it in my notes here.
Give me a second.
really quick um um I I did
want to talk about the ending because we're trying to get into that point now.
But it does have a very famous ending in
which uh Bill Murray's character Bob
whispers something into Scar Joe's ear and
it's I guess it's left up to the audience to decide what
he says to her. before we get to the ending, can I can
I mention that, um, you know, just to touch base on, I guess on Scar Joe, um
uh she how I don't know, to
me, it looked like, you know, they made her look very plain looking, but
then just throughout the movie, then uh
she she started look a lot more beautiful.
It seemed a lot like hotter, I guess people would say I didn't
like talking about like just like more makeup and stuff.
Yeah.
Like maybe because like she found like like there was like a little spark there, right?
So she started getting ready more for another character.
Yeah.
And even though's like, you want to eat healthier.
Yeah, because like they're all they're trying
to up to each other's game, you know, like like when when he
like catches that glance and like talks to
a Charlotte in for the first time in
the bar, he goes and he gets on that elliptical and is like working out.
He wants he wants to look good.
He wants to make him.
And then same thing with Charlotte.
She like catches his eye and they're like,
you know, why not?
Like I want to like she's trying to get attention, like somehow, you know.
And then some of those things too.
Like we were talking about like how like the weird thing about
polymery and I like, oh, we're
not supposed to be with like this one person that's like, I think the whole idea of this
like it's not it's like this like meeting
of them get like not even getting together, but like it's
sort of this thing where um
in love, in in like the ideology
of like polyamory, people fulfill
certain aspects of things that they need.
Like in in a polyamist in polyamous relationships, they
one person it's not necessarily a sexual and
another person is not necessarily um like
they all fulfill certain needs.
They don't always have to be sexual, you know, that's that's the false narrative of
like that people try to portray of polyamory.
So when Kelly was talking about her the um uh
the thing about um the poison
food, her dad being in Vietnam prisoner award and stuff like that.
So like it actually comes back um later
on in the movie where uh Bob is having a conversation with his wife and then
uh his wife is trying to get their kid to eat um
that I that that was actually kind of a thing I noticed that kind
of was like a little bit of a callback earlier on. uh
when they're talking about like trying to get someone to
eat uh and involving like anorexia.
So that I just thought that was a pretty pretty neat little detail.
There's like a lot of little details.
So I took like a lot of little notes about those little details.
So it was it was just a kind of an interesting little nod
to things that they discussed like earlier earlier.
Well, really quick, I wanted to talk about some facts about this movie that I thought were really interesting.
And one of them was that Sofia Kopla wasn't even sure Bill
Murray was actually going to show up to do this movie because apparently he
famously works without management and he only has like a fucking
voice recorder that you like a like a landline, a voicemail box.
And it was only until Wes Sanderson told her that
Murray's a man of his word because he worked with him previously on
Rushmore and royal tenoms. and then sure enough, Bill Murray showed up
and and and was was on set to do the movie and all that.
And then the other thing about Bill Murray that I'm reading about is that
she wrote the movie specifically for him and
later said that if Murray had turned it down, she wouldn't have done the movie, so I thought that was great.
Um Wow.
It's a great fact anyway.
Uh, and Francis Fort Copola, Sophia Coblo's
father urged her to shoot the movie in high definition video
because it's the future, but she chose film
because film feels more romantic and thank God she did that.
As we now know, HD video, not
as high quality as film, and if they had shut her on HT, it would be a low resolution
cut of the movie right now that would exist.
But some HD video that I see is
very, very good.
Like good quality.
certain videos in HC have held up well over the years, yes, Arnold.
National National Geographic
porn on
on like film, like on high quality film digital
at the point now where it's basically like film, but I get what you're saying.
Go to iMx and watch a Alexis Texas.
you do we talk about quickly about Bill
Murray and um just how famous he is like there was a time
in the like early 2000s where he was famous for like dropping in on college dorm parties and shit.
Like he would just show up and just drink with people and hang out.
like it's come out years later that like Bill Murray is kind
of a dick the word he's like an alcoholic he cheated on his wife
basically.
I love I love him as an actor.
He's like one of my favorite actors and you to separate that what he's.
Well here's some additional trivia for you guys too.
So um I I went to years ago, early 2000s,
I went to a show, uh my friend's uh um
this band called uh Dusty Rose and the River band.
Donald knows them and I still have listened to them too.
but I went to go see them live and they they were opening up for this band called steel train.
Now a steel train, the lead singer, his his uh
name is uh something I can't remember, but he he used to date
uh Scarlett Jo Hanson before um
Scott right almost like right around the time that like they
would have filmed this or like a few years before they
filmedost translation. like 17 when they filmed this movie.
That's crazy.
Say what?
they went to school
and they were like kind of kind of school sweethearts.
I don't know if it was high school sweethearts, but they were like school sweethearts.
Anyways, like my friend, uh
Kyle, he leans over to me while as we're watching Steel train and he's like,
you know the song he wrote it for Scarlett Johansen.
They used to date.
And I was like which song so there's
it's a song called um a better Love.
And so basically the song is it kind of details her
rise to um start them
and like how they like were
like drifting apart because of the fame and, you know, her becoming a bigger celebrity.
But yeah, she he still loved her, but it was just like breaking his heart and everything.
Like that that album, that whole album I think has three or four songs that are
actually written about her.
Let's um let's get into our final reviews guys.
I feel like uh we don't want to get too bottom heavy.
I don't know.
Arnold likes the bottom hes, but this is one of those things where where we want to
not, not. not, uh not get too crazy heavy on the show, I think anyway.
But yeah, um Justin, I don't you got some notes.
So why don't we start with you?
What are your final thoughts on this cinema?
thoughts, um quick notes.
I'm just going to read them out.
Adrian, you've
yeah, I Adrian and Alex have covered like.
So like there there's a point in
in the movie world like I was like, man, like uh,
I should like watch this with some kind of like subtitles or something.
I think that's the the allure of it all is not watching it with subtitlestit so you can kind of get an
understanding of like, you know, the perception
of not knowing what anybody is saying.
But I just wanted to point out like the moment that
they were in the doctor, uh he was pretty much, uh I
I found out that what the doctor was saying is like, hey,
you fractured your toe because she stubbed it earlier.
uh you fractured your toe, um but
putting tape on it will be fine, meaning that like it's not going to be a big deal.
You fracture your toe a little bit of tape, uh will help you out there.
And then like, when Bill Murray
or Bob was talking to the person with the cane in the doctor's office
as well, and they're like having this like weird interaction.
Well, what the person was like trying to get across to
Bob was just simply asking,
how long have you lived in Japan?
Because obviously, if if you're in a Japanese hospital,
and I'm sure not a whole lot of tourists go there unless like it's a dire emergency.
They probably even assumed
that they've been living in Japan the entire time.
So that was kind of a funny thing for me.
I ever seen those ladies in the back just laughing.
Apparently, apparently
that was kind of like an offthe-cuff Bill Murray thing that that happened.
It wasn't wasn't necessarily fully scripted.
Like some of it was, but not all of it.
um So pretty improvised. um I like the
scene when they're at the um the shabu shabu place
and uh Scarlett Johansen or Charlotte is like, um
everything looks the same and everything there's like the the same picture of meat on the menu.
It's like that's fucking hilarious.
That is so funny.
um was
it uh a scene I noticed also that
I kind of appreciated is um when they're saying
like they're long final goodbye in in the lobby,
uh well, not really final goodbye, but they were saying their goodbyes in the lobby
um and they had that like weird, intense,
awkward moment. uh Charlotte goes into the elevator and
I remember earlier in the movie, um like the
elevator's doors close on Bob and he sees like a reflection of himself.
But in that scene, when the mirrored
elevator doors closed, it actually, instead of saying a reflection of
himself or her or whatever, it was actually a reflection
of his luggage that he was getting loaded up, which was
I felt was a little a bit of an interesting detail,
just kind of like, you know, the reality that you're
leaving or in Alex's case, the reality
that the dream is almost over. um
And, um,
I'm going to save the other note for Alex.
I'm sure Alex wants to talk about that, but uh,
I think another scene that I thought was interesting was
you know what?
Yeah, I think that's pretty much it.
I'm just going to save the rest of it for Alex.
Anyway, lost in translation. uh good movie.
Fantastic movie. uh I I'm
going to change change it a little bit because I did my research.
So I think uh before I gave it like a three and a half or
four or something, I think I'm going to change it to a five because all
the little details in between make it to
a really good, relatable story.
that I think definitely
deserves a watch, at least a couple times.
I would say a couple times because there's a lot of little things that are in
between that you can kind of catch and that I didn't see before.
So I like the detail.
Sophia Copola is an amazing director with uh lots of attention to detail.
So five out of five,
great movie. uh I'll say, I'm going to add it to my Mount Rushmore.
I'll say that. um
And you can find me, uh Shibs the zombie
SHI, BBS, the zombie on Instagram and you go into my bio.
You can go to all the links that I have in there and check me out.
I like to post a lot of memes and other stuff.
and uh that's my review, boys.
All right.
Awesome.
Thank you for that, Justin.
Alex, let's go to you next.
What do you uh what are your final thoughts and what do you.
I'm going to rattle off a few quick notes that I had that I thought
So, uh, let's see. uh,
Bill Murray looks so much younger in this film, even though he's probably in his 50s.
uh douchey American businessmen always ruined
the vibe, like in the always.
uh Scarlett looks so fresh faced in this film, you know.
She is a teenager, so that makes sense.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Scarlett talking about how she went to a temple oh, we worry about that.
uh, I
want to be friends with Charlie and his buds if I ever go to Japan.
uh the karaoke scene reminds me of the smashingumpkins lyric
that goes that goes you're all I notice in a crowded room.
It's kind of like, you know, when they when they're singing and like, you know, they
look they're looking at each other and it's a room full of people, but they only notice each other.
So that I thought that was really cool.
The intimacy of sharing a cigarette.
I remember the times when I was a smoker and I would
share a cigarette with a girl that I liked.
I was always something like felt very special, you know, like I know it was bad for
Basically.
That's what they didn even say.
People would say you might as well have been kissing, you know that
people with.
slightly racist moment when Bob pronounces
the word black with an R. um
and then by getting to the bigger questions, like, well,
this is something for the for the group and that I was going to going to bring up
the the trivia that I found. uh what do you think Bob's said to Charlotte?
oh, do you want you want to know what I
I've listened to it a few times um but I'll
I'll wait on because you guys might answer it before me.
made me back in the States.
My phone number is seven six four six nine four two,
no real phone numbers.
I just made up that phone number four six nine four20.
What's the song five Oh, what's that one song?
Yeah,
Any any other thoughts?
Justin, really quick What do you think?
What's your theory on that?
And I'll give my theory right after yours.
So like oh so I listen to
it and it all every time I've watched this movie,
I've never wanted to look it up for some reason.
Now I have looked it up and there's like
a few different theories, but looking at
the few different theories, um I broke it down to
one of them, uh just by I I repeated
this scene like a few times just to kind of see if which
one like made more sense and lines up
to me. um Mine is,
um, let me see, it says, uh, promise
me that the next thing you do is go
up to that man and tell him the truth.
And then she says, okay.
That's exactly what the notes that I got from the trivia.
And I I do feel like that's
what they needed.
Like if if anything, if you think about like what
they went through and what they were going through,
they'd need to tell the truth to their partnerers.
They not about what happened to the, but
like how they feel and what they're feeling.
And that's honestly what
will save them, I feel,
you know, as as people.
So I
have um exclusive never before heard audio of what was actually said in that scene.
I'd like to play that for you right now.
how you doing you
knowing yang twins
and then rather than like go off and like talk about like
any other you guys talking about this on an emotional level
when I come in with that go ahead um
what do you think uh Sophieop what do you guys think that Sophia Coppola was trying to say this Spike Jones?
what was this what was her message to Spike Jones?
about their relationship, their faltering relationship.
Who's Spike Jones?
There's a lot of um I was going to say
there's a lot of elements in the movie that she confirmed that parts of
it did reflect how he was and also how she was.
You know, every relationship is so different.
Like, I don't even want to try to begin to interpret
the relationship of the daughter of the one of the most famous directors there is with Spike Jones.
Like, I just I wouldn't even know where to begin, you know, but
yeah, I like that it's left open
ended where it's really up to you, like up to the audience to decide
what he says to her, you know, so I
I'm not even going to try and uh interpret it, but I I think it's interesting that that that's how they ended it.
You know what I mean?
But I mean as overall tone of the film,
like, I I feel like like she
has trying to communicate her loneliness
in that relationship.
I would I feel like she's trying to communicate um
that she was trying to communicate.
I think it was
Sorry, good.
And how she felt like all
her attempts kind of fell on deaf ears, possibly, you know?
If it was me, I would say, you know, everything's going to be fine.
You know what I mean?
Like something along those lines.
Maybe not that short and curt, but
like she was trying to say that to her to him?
He was saying he would he was saying that to her, you know,
like oh, you're relationship in real life, not in the movie now.
Oh yeah, I don't
I
mean, uh art imitates life, you know?
uh I think she had a very deep
message and probably even
a warning, you know, I'm going to murder you.
No, I'm just kidding.
Um, no, just just like a deep, like heartfelt
nod to, hey,
you know, either either wake up or,
you know, all this will
soon pass.
Well, I think they were already they're already broken up by this point.
I don't know the relationship too much, but it just seems like a
Taylor Swiftifty kind of thing to do.
Make a song about it.
Which movie came out first?
All right, great.
Alex, uh any any final thoughts on that so
like Justin, I
over all the uh the multiple viewings
of this film, I like my appreciation for it has
grown over the years, uh from as like you,
Adrian, uh we with when we watched it first, it was like three of these younger eyes
of like, you know, with
the lack of experience in relationships.
But then as as we grew up and got an older and experience other
relationships in our lives, we see more of ourselves
in these in the art forms that we appreciate.
And I I feel that I have a stronger, much stronger
connection now to it than I have ever felt.
And even found more meaning to the film.
So I I it's I I've always
seen it as a five and I will it stays at a five for me.
And uh you could find me at D daily dares
uh on all the socials.
Nice.
Arnold, uh let's go to you now, what
are your final thoughts and where can people find you?
I just thought that the whole um interaction
between them was just so beautifully done.
um and there are so many uh
things about it that I can relate to where just how comfortable
that he seemed to be around her. um I I remember I remember um
kind of being that way or trying to be that way when
I was younger to, you know, I when
I was younger I wanted to come off like, oh yeah, like like I'm not nervous at all, but deep down I'm like,
you know, and and um maybe
that's why I was friends owned so much. um and
uh, uh, but so I kind of related uh, you know, it made me think of of those times
um, and, um,
gosh, uh, I mean, this this type of movie
is not a movie that I would normally, I mean, you
guys probably know, not one that I would normally pick,
but this was so well done and
um towards the end, um, especially
on those uh, like final goodbyes, the
the first goodbye went when they're down at the lobby and it's like, oh, I got my jacket.
and it was like, I don't think they even hugged.
I was like, what?
Oh gosh, wow, really?
And then and and you know
when she when the elevator door closes, like she didn't even look at him and
she just kind of, I was like, oh damn, she's she's pissed at him.
I't or you know, she's hurt.
She's hurt.
But then um how he spots her
and he's like, wait, stop here.
And and you know, it kind of like startles startles
her like the fact that uh, you know, that
he spotted her and she was she was like kind of startled and was like,
whatever he said to her, um
it was enough, and, you know, and then they kissed and whatever it was
was enough that that um
when they both uh went their ways,
um, I don't know, closure or or
almost like, okay, you know, they're they're they're okay.
and, um I love how
how it was that's one of those few times where it kind of, we
watched so many movies where we're like, oh man, I don't I don't like how
you know, it's kind of open ended and leaves it open for interpretation, but like
this was done in a way that I I really enjoyed it.
And I thought, um, you know, it was really well done.
And
um I I really enjoyed this movie a lot.
And uh I I wish I
rented this movie on on Amazon.
I wish that I bought it.
for some reason, I thought that back when I had the insurance claim
back in like the early 2000s that I had uh um
put this movie as one of the movies that I had lost and then then they insurance sent me a bunch of DVDs.
Anyways, um
side side story. um
but uh you for you Arnold
copy for you Would you say the movie
uh got you to completion?
that I finished?
I mean yeah, of course I don't finish the film.
Oh yeah yeah I forgot about the rating.
So uh
I was going to watch it yesterday, but then I last
minute came up on some Justin Timberlake tickets.
So so um uh I went to
the to the show last night and then and then uh
I tried watching a little bit, um,
but I watched about half an hour last night and I was like, I'm tired.
I legit.
I'm tired.
It wasn't because of the food.
It wasn't because of the six slices of pizzas I had up and up over there
in the sky box.
Yeah, in the sweet
sweet life. um but I
finished it today uh right right before the show and um zero zero rating
and um I would give it
a letter box four and a half out of five.
Part of me wants to give it a perfect score.
I don't know why.
Probably good, but I'll say four and a half out of five.
You can find me Arnie Collego, um on all the social media platforms.
And that's my score and I'm sticking to it.
Thank you, Arnold.
That was perfect.
Thank you for finishing that thought.
Donny, let's move on to you.
Where what are your final thoughts and where can people find you?
Yeah, um man, I love this movie. um I watched
it when I I was a lot younger as well in my 20s and I liked it back then.
And now um as I as I rewatched it older,
uh I noticed a lot of things kind of like flew over my head.
This was way funnier also than in comparison to when I watched it the first time.
but I was dying on the part where Scarlett buys him a shot and
then he turns around and he walks away with all the clips still in his on his uh on his blazer.
I was just like dying.
But um yeah, it was so beautifully written.
It was uh the way it was shot.
I just loved everything about it.
It was amazing.
Like, um I'm definitely giving it five out of five.
um totally I own it.
I own it.
I just couldn't find it so I had to rent it, but I don't know where I put it, but it's
in my collection somewhere, but uh, yeah, I recommend
it to anybody who who hasn't watched it.
And also the I got that Centauri whiskey.
I didn't get the exact one because it's like $300, but this this is also a five out of five.
Good job,
Yeah, yeah.
You could find me on Instagram, underscore Donnie Appleeed all one word, no spaces.
Thank you for that.
And for me, you know, final thoughts pretty simple.
I mean, I I
like I said, I enjoy this movie more now as an ad adult than as when I watched it as a teenager.
And here's the thing about a good storytelling ages
like a fine wine or a fine whiskey in your case.
It sort of transcends time and culture and socioec economics and all that, right?
Like a good story.
You talk to any filmmaker worth their weight and gold and
you ask them what their letter box top for, whatever is,
and they'll they'll name movies from like the 1940s and shit, right?
Because good storytelling, you know, it lasts forever.
And I think I think this movie's up there in the pantheon,
like, especially as like good independent cinema, right?
You know, this isn't a big studio movie.
There's not like crazy, big cast and set pieces.
This is a small,
but very relatable story, as we've all heard tonight, right?
So I think that's what makes it one of my my top favorite movies, like thematically,
it's very relevant in a lot of ways, you know, especially as somebody who's
been married and not married anymore and and, you know,
just thinking about, you know, people throughout
your life that you felt things for and it didn't work out for one reason or another.
So believe me, Arnold, I know all about the friend zone.
So, which is, you know, he was just he was just being a gentleman and not I think
about it. was a gentle
how rationalize.
I was I
was going to say, uh Anthony Bourdain once said, uh,
good something good is always good.
I like that.
I like that a lot.
And this movie is um a prime example of that.
So, you know, as far as my letterbox reading, I rated this on letterterbox writing.
I gave it four stars on letterbox and uh
and you can find me on letterterbox and you can find me
across all social medias, social mediaias, social
medias atoot too big, and of course, you
can find the podcast uh, on all social mediaias that never seen a podcast dot com.
