I thank you for joining me again, Beyond the big Screen.[00:00:00] Today, we are going to talk about the incredible 2019 Quintin Tarantino film. Once upon a time in Hollywood. Josh, are you excited to talk about this movie? I am extremely excited. I have been a Tarantino’s fanatic basically since reservoir dogs came out. And once upon a time in Hollywood, I've probably watched more repeatedly than, than any other Tarantino movie.So I'm stoked. Now, once upon a time in Hollywood, it's a difficult to place in an exact genre box. It's a historical film. It's alternative history. It's an action drama. It's a fairy tale of sorts. It stars, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot, Robbie, Timothy Olifant LPAA Chino, and much, much, much, much more.And as I always say, what these people with these films to people is an one we review them on beyond the big screen, at least that we're giving spoilers. So if you don't want spoilers, I suggest watch the [00:01:00] movie, listen to this episode, watch the movie, but you can do it in any order you want. Now going into this movie, you were, you're a Quentin Tarantino fanatic.What was your, kind of your expectations going into this movie? Yeah. Well, well, first off, , Steve, a quick word of agreement for you. , it's absolutely a genre bending film. Therefore it fits quite nicely into the coterie of queen. Filmography, , his films are famously hard to, to really diagnose with the genre., my expectations was my understanding was it was going to be something a backstory of the Tate murders a

This is part two of an episode discussing the story behind the 1980 miracle on ice team USA. Men's gold metal hockey team as portrayed through the 2004. Miracle. I highly suggest you listen to power. One of this episode before we drop the puck on power too.Don't worry. We'll be waiting for you beyond the big screen.Per Brooks got this team together just when they're getting ready to go to lake Placid for the Olympics, they played a series of games against different teams. How did those turn out for the team USA team did her Brooks [00:01:00] demonstrate and those early games that they were ready to take on the Soviet juggernaut team two to two examples.One is famous. Anybody who knows the story is going to get to know this one. They play. Team Norway. And they tied them three to three. And Herb's mind that is a game they should have won outright. No two ways about it. They should have destroyed team Norway because Hurd had been training them so hard that they were in the best shape of their lives.He said that you might not be the most skilled team in this. But I swear to God, you will be the most conditioned. And it's, it's funny. I have to deviate for a second with my own local team, the blue jackets, we got a new president of hockey operations a few years ago. I don't know if he consciously borrowed this from herb or if it was just the planets aligning or what, but he said, you know, we might not be the most talented team out there, but we will be the best condition we will [00:02:00] play all, all 60 minutes.And I thought that was a really good way to do it. Cause you can lose a game. And the flick of a switch. I mean, it, it's, it's very easy. And so you, you, you want to play all out all the time and, um, and that's what herb was doing to them and getting them in shape for, because. If they couldn't do that against a quote unquote puny little team like Norway, how would they ever do it against the very best against the Soviets who were routinely beating all-star teams from the NHL?How could they possibly accomplish that? If they, if they can't beat team Norway, he caught several players looking into the stands and this is featured in the. Uh, looking at some attractive young ladies and thinking about where they'd like to take them for dinner. And herb, herb caught him and he says, at the end of this really embarrassing three-three tie, you [00:03:00] don't want to skate during the game.You'll skate right now. So, uh, they, they get back on the ice and then that is what leads to the famous Herbie's in the dark. And, uh, he skates them, skates them into the ground red line to red line, red line to blue line. So on and so forth down the length of the ice. And when they're done, he has them do it again and again, and again, and again, he just, and he's yelling at him the whole time.He wants them to get t

I mean, that. I'm really excited to dive into. It's a great, a great story. And you have a really great podcast detailing the history. I love the history of sports. There's just so much there.There really is. I, I, uh, I kind of feel like there's almost not enough of it out there. It's, it's kind of something that people maybe don't don't think about. Um, you know, there's a history of warfare and all of that really juicy stuff, but sports kind of seem to fall by the wayside. Maybe you can tell us a little bit about yourself and your interesting backstory on how you got yourself interested in hockey and starting a hockey podcast.Uh, yeah, I'd love to. Um, originally I I'm, uh, from Colorado, I grew up in a little town of [00:02:00] about 5,000 people, uh, two or three roads, only one of which was paved, uh, that was in. Central Colorado. And I'm kind of up in the mountains a little bit. So it was always cold, always snowy. And, uh, I spent my winters there with my mom, my older brother, and a.I, I really owe a lot of my love for hockey to my mom, which is kind of funny because she's never, ever been a sports person. Uh, but she, she saw that I liked it and, and really encouraged me to do it. And, and we would sit down and watch games, uh, and my. Neighbor actually had an NHL sports package and he would let us come over and watch the games.And, you know, growing up, playing myself, we had about, uh, two sheets of ice. One was, was really, really big. It could fit tons and tons [00:03:00] of kids on it. And then one was, uh, about the, the size of a modern day. Just one zone of, of a hockey rink. Um, and so, you know, one was really big. One was small. And, uh, and, and both, I was so lucky they were very, very nearby.And, uh, so my brother and I would, would go out there and, uh, he he's older. So I would, I would cry more often than he would about getting cold. And, uh, I, you know, I I'd come home cry and swe

Passion in my life. I'm going to start off with a really short overview of this movie. And then we're going to really dive into a lot of the history and the context and the background of wrestling because this movie really [00:01:00] captures something about the indie circuit of wrestling and really the narrative arc of history of wrestling from the eighties until 2000, the early 2000 when this movie was produced.But, and now as usual, we feature plenty of spoilers. That's really what we're all about here on beyond the big screen, you can listen to this episode and learn a lot about the movie. Having never watched it. She'll definitely want to watch this movie and listen to this episode several times. You'll love it.We would definitely to hear what you have to say too.

We're going to dive into the history and background of professional wrestling. Professional wrestling has been a staple of the big screen and small screen for decades. It is a theater, a type of ballet. If you will, you could almost say I'll be at a version with beer, swelling and trash talking this episode.Help us understand and more deeply enjoy. Our next step is sewed on the 2008 film. The wrestler, you can enjoy these episodes separately, but they're an excellent pair as a tag team. And I know you're really excited to talk about this topic. Yeah. Because. I don't think people really understand just how deep wrestling history is and like how far back it goes and how, we're only going to be scratching the surface on this episode, but use this as a template.If you, all of this sounds interesting, like there's, as [00:01:00] you know me and you've been talking about it for weeks, um, there's so many different roads to go down in terms of a wrestling history. So yeah, I'm pretty excited. Yeah. Uh, introduce your audience to a bit of a wrestling history.We're, we're gonna be focusing mainly just on north American wrestling. There's a whole history in Mexico and Japan and different parts of the world. But, uh, in terms of, uh, just as using this as like a primer for the movie, the Russia. Just focusing on north America makes the most sense. Yeah.That's a really interesting thing. You bring up the history of wrestling. It goes back much further than I expected it to, and you're breaking it down into four major areas. And so why don't we start off with this first, um, most ancient era of professional wrestling. Yeah. So yeah, so basically it PR professional wrestling started off as a.Like legiti

Thanks again for joining us today. Today, we are going to wrap up our series on blade runner and blade runner 2049. And the past three episodes we've discussed these two movies and the really powerful themes they uncovered and discuss.Today, we're going to discuss how the two movies fit together and explore a few more issues that came up and just try and tie these two movies together. I'm very happy to be joined the gun by Eric of the reconsider podcast. And as we well know, since you've listened to the three previous episodes, we know that reconsider as a political and current events podcast, Eric, and as partners and or help you contextualize current politics and [00:01:00] history and broader forces and political theory reconsider helps you rise above the one-liners the 140 character politics and the tribal narrative and their motto is we don't do the thinking for you.Thank you so much for coming on for a fourth time, Eric. Yeah, my pleasure. I mean, obviously I love your show. And one of the things I really love about talking about movies, like this is it lets us look at. Um, and by like this, I mean, I mean really good movies that do a great job, exploring society, exploring humanity.They let us, as people really look into. Humanity and looking to society today through, in another place where it's sort of safe, right. Where we can say, or we can say, Hey, what, what does this tell us about humans as a whole about society, about government, about how we get along with each other as a whole, um, where we're not as emotionally tied up in it.Right? Cause this, this isn't our [00:02:00] world. It's, it's just a story, but we can learn a lot from it. And so it gives us this opportunity to ask some questions about ourselves that aren't as threatening. Whereas, you know, as, as I'm sure you're aware from the. Political climate. If someone from your not from your political tribe asks these kinds of questions in a way that's not comfortable for you, you can get very defensive.And so movies can be a great place to be able to have some of those tough questions. And when they're, well-built, they're they're questions that are open to everyo

Welcome back to beyond the big screen today, we are very happy to be joined by Eric of the reconsider podcast. And today we're going to take a deep dive into the movie blade runner 2049. And if you listened to last week's episode, we talked about blade runner from 1982.So these are two great episodes to listen to back to back. Uh, so I highly suggest you go back and listen to. Episode, but it's not required, obviously, uh, not so much because you need that as background knowledge for this movie or episode it's just because it was a great show. So thank you so much, Eric, for being on today.Yeah, my pleasure. I love your show and I love this movie and I love talking about great. Thank [00:01:00] you. So reconsider as a podcast about politics and news, but it's really much more than just the news of the day sort of thing that you can get on TV or radio Zander and Erik, which I'm sad to say. Zander, wasn't able to join us today.But they help you contextualize current politics and history and the broader forces and in political theory. Reconsider helps you rise above the one-liners the 140 character politics and the tribal narratives, their motto is we don't do the thinking for you and they really don't. And that's why I think it's such an amazing podcast.Do you have anything you could add to that, Eric? No, thanks, man. I, I think one of the things that I really like about reconsiders that Zander and I don't always agree on everything and we do a great job. I think showcasing how to discuss stuff in a way. Um, you know, in a way, which we're really learning.And one of these days I want to do a behind the scenes episode where we actually, [00:02:00] uh, you know, cause we build these, we build these episodes out with a lot of disagreement and then we do a bunch of research and, and learn some stuff as we go. So I kind of want to do one of these blind to, to show a little more of how we do that.But that's my, my favorite part is, is whenever we disagree and it's a good time. Yeah. It's a really cool, I'd love to listen to an episode like that. Now, um, this movie blade runner 2049 is currently in the theaters. If you're listening to this show in the 2017, 2018 time period, it stars Ryan Gosling as K Harrison Ford reprising his role as Decherd there's Robin Wright, Penn, and a bunch of other great actors.It was released in October of 2017. We will definitely have a few spoilers in this episode. So I think this is, yeah, but I think this is a good way to help you understand the movie
