MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1007.252

It was an offensive amount of time that went by. Let me just tell you right now. I had not only fretted you, but I'd actually commented on one of your reviews. I know.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1034.904

I was like, okay, we work on a film podcast together. We're like in communication pretty much every other day. I know. I friended this guy because I want him to feel included in what we're fucking doing around here. And it took him a year. To follow me back. Anyway, I'm just, I'm just saying. Sure. That broke me for a while, but then you, it fixed itself and I forgive you.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1058.498

And now we're obviously doing a podcast together.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1063.061

I've let it go. Well, and like, there's other functionality on there too. Like you can come up with lists. I'm a big list person.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1070.326

I also, you know, like I actually love the review component because there are people, like I said, who are using it like as like they're writing for Roger Deaver dot com type of thing.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1081.111

But then there are people who are like putting one, two sentences about, you know, the thing that they've watched. That's how I do it.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1093.797

Oh, I know. And a lot of times it's like, and this is the way I do it, but other people do it this way too. It's like the funniest observation about a movie.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1102.721

And I actually had one go sort of vi-vi, I got to say. Wow. My review for A Complete Unknown, where I talked about, I don't know if you've seen it yet. I won't spoil it. Haven't seen it. Wow. There's a moment of that movie that happens, which is a non-spoiler. Sure. But it was like the weirdest thing to me. That was like the one thing I couldn't stop thinking about.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1123.472

And then I wrote it and then all of a sudden it's like ping, ping, ping. Everyone's like, we love it. We love the review. So that's what I like about Letterboxd is that it's kind of like, again, I think it's a high-low scenario where you can either be really like deliberate and professional about it or you can be a fucking goon like me.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1171.756

That's right. I mean, if Letterboxd wants to give us a check, we'll take it. But I'm just saying, this is what we're going to be using. Let's go into this film diary. Fabulous. So in the past week, I've gone down this kind of strange rabbit hole. So I discovered this Japanese director recently, and I don't actually know how I discovered him.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1193.663

I feel like I'm following some kind of Instagram account that's like an Asian film archive. I think it's actually what it's called. And they posted a trailer or something about this movie. And the movie is called Haru. H-A-R-U. Okay. It was directed by this Japanese director. His name is Yoshimitsu Morita.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1217.262

This movie's from 1996, and for some reason, when I saw the trailer, I was like, this seems so charming. Like, I think his filmography, if I'm not mistaken, I'm not, like, a scholar on him yet, but he was making movies in... Like, most of his movies came out in, like, the 80s and 90s, which is a real, for me, kind of, like, a gap.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

122.757

Also, we're going to talk about drinking in the movies. So, you know, movies that feature complete drunks or people that are trying to get off the stuff, whatever it is, we're going to be talking about it. But we're also going to really, like, hammer into one movie in particular, and that is 2018's A Star is Born, featuring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1238.227

I don't... I have... You know, I started thinking, like, have I watched a lot of Japanese movies from the 80s and 90s? Like...

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1245.629

And then as the more I kind of was reading about him and sort of that era, I think actually, and like I said, I don't want to say that this is the general attitude, but I've read that, you know, people kind of actually perceive that Japanese filmmaking in the 80s wasn't very good. Like they weren't making good movies generally in the 80s.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1265.859

And so I came into it going, okay, so this is supposed to be like an era of like bad Japanese filmmaking, yet I walked into this movie and was like completely charmed by it. It's essentially a movie. I mean, this movie is probably like as close to this film podcast as we can get. It's essentially a woman who is a cinephile.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1287.262

She's a single woman, a school teacher living in Japan. And she's a cinephile. And then she gets on like a movie message board. And this is 96. So this is early internet days.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1302.31

I know.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1306.952

Yeah, and it basically, it's like, a lot of the movie is there kind of like literally on screen, like sending messages on the message board. It's like her and this other person.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1317.375

And the other person at first is, you know, kind of presents as a woman, but then it's actually a man, you know, because back in the day you could really fool people about being, you know, like, I mean, I guess you could still catfish people now.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1332.079

Yeah, thriving. But back in, like, 96, man, you could literally be anybody. And so they kind of developed this, you know, I don't know, this online sort of epistolary relationship. And they're kind of like, he's in a bad marriage, or he's in a kind of weird spot in his life, and they just kind of bond together. And it's this kind of, like, you got mail in Japan in the 90s over the internet.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1360.653

And I'm like... Oh, it was lovely.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1391.147

Yeah, and then I actually watched another one because I liked Haru so much. So there's this movie that he made in 1984 called Main Theme. And I got to tell you, I don't think it's online anywhere. I had to go through, you know, the dark web. The dark web.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1409.697

Always. Yeah, I mean, actually, I get my groceries from the dark web.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1413.859

You know, it's, you know. I just use it for everything now. Why not? Yeah. But this movie main theme, oh my God, that movie was also incredible. It was also kind of a romance, but it had this like super whimsical, it was kind of like an Umbrellas of Schoenberg feel. Yeah, yeah. And it was, the colors were amazing.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1434.607

I don't know, just the setups, the camera work, the colors, the costumes, everything. I was like, who the hell is this director and why have I just figured him out?

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1447.239

So what about you? Now you've got to tell me.

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1542.31

I mean, I was a grown-ass woman in a full-time job when those movies came out. I have no business. But, you know, here's what I will say about that. I actually kind of feel that I might like them better now knowing who Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart became. True. Do you know what I mean? Absolutely. Like, I go backwards now and I'm like, oh, these are like two cool people making cool films.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1775.323

Well, okay, now we're moving into our main discussion, which is, again, like I said, 2018's A Star is Born. We're going to talk about drinking and movies. But first, Casey, I have a question for you. Do you participate in what they call dry January?

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1804.286

Ah, yes.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1854.288

Sure. Okay. Okay. That makes sense. I was thinking about this, obviously, because it's such a huge topic right now. Yeah. Because we're at the beginning of the new year. Happy 2025. And a lot of my friends are doing this dry January thing.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1867.634

White knuckling it. Yeah. It's so interesting because I'm kind of like, okay, A, when did we start? Like, I don't remember dry January when I was a kid. Like, I don't remember people's parents.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1880.239

Yeah. Yeah. And then it's sort of that feeling, too, where I'm like, I get that it's in sort of the mode of, you know, we're in a New Year's resolution phase where we're trying to be better people for a little while and then it all falls apart. But I'm also, like, I guess it's because I... I'm not like a huge drinker. So I don't need a dry January, if you know what I mean.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1918.328

Well, so it got me thinking, you know, because, you know, it's our first episode. It's the first of the new year. And so I was like kind of thinking, let's maybe talk a little bit about, you know, classic movie drunks. Sure. Like movies about drinking and, you know. Not all of it is fun all the time. Yeah. Like charismatic drunks, but mean drunk. Yeah. And, you know, the whole gamut.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1957.364

Well, and, like, so I started thinking about, like, what was the last movie that I remember seeing that just really was truly about alcoholism, the darkest alcoholic? Like, maybe a movie you'd watch that would inspire you to adopt a dry January.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

1975.295

Like, something really hardcore. And I was like, I think the last one I saw was A Star Is Born, the remake, the most recent remake of it. Yes. Which was such a juggernaut when it came out. Did you not feel that?

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

2035.188

Yeah, yeah. Like, so I decided that I was going to rewatch it, actually, during the Christmas break because I think it was on, like, I don't know, Paramount. You know how it's just like movies. I was like, oh, cool, a nice holiday movie where Bradley Cooper drinks himself to death. Amazing. So I watched it at my parents' house, and I gotta say, it's still really enjoyable.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

2059.329

And here's the thing that I thought was really interesting about this version of it, because if you don't know, I don't know how you wouldn't at this point. A Star is Born is this very storied franchise, really, at this point. Yeah. It almost seems like it gets remade every 20, 30 years. The original, the very first A Star Is Born, was made in 1937. And it was a William Wellman movie.

My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

MFM Presents…Dear Movies, I Love You

2085.585

I'm a huge fan of William Wellman, the director. And that is my actual favorite version of the story. Wow. Is the 37. Because... First of all, it's like, well, it's the original, meaning the story, you know, sort of is contained in its own, like, little universe, right? But also, the lead actor of that film, Frederick March, who is... I don't know if listeners really know Frederick March.

I mean, he's kind of... He's a very famous actor of the 30s, but, you know, isn't like a Gary Cooper type. He was very, you know, like, kind of... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

3461.37

Well, this is kind of the trajectory that I think is really interesting about this franchise because it's like, okay, the first movie was kind of a dark drama in certain parts. And it was really mostly about... the Alex Pettifer character who was kind of like, like cause Channing Tatum, like magical Michael, if you will. Well, yes. He was already in the world. Yeah.

And then you as a viewer were with the Adam character, the Alex Pettifer character who was like, I'm new to this. I need some extra cash. I guess I'm going to like start, you know, down this road of exotic dancing and drugs and women and all this stuff. And that was kind of more about his descent into the world.

Mansion of exotic dancing men, like whatever this private club was. And that in and of itself is, has a lore that needs its own movie. Totally. Like that house needs to have its own franchise.
