Lauren Goode: I don’t.
Paresh Dave: It sounds familiar.
Lauren Goode: No. Was that…
Michael Calore: Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman.
Lauren Goode: I was going to say Costner. OK.
Michael Calore: Prince Under the Cherry Moon, which is terrible. I love Prince, but that movie is unwatchable.
Lauren Goode: What’s so bad about it?
Michael Calore: It’s unwatchable. It’s just a very poorly made movie. Sorry, Prince. RIP. Best guitar player ever.
Lauren Goode: And Neil Dash is going to have something to say to you.
Michael Calore: I’m sure he’d agree with me. Under the Cherry Moon, objectively bad. The Wicker Man, not the 1973 original, but the Neil LaBute remake starring Nick Cage. “The Bees, the Bees, not the bees.” You know this movie. It’s terrible, but it’s so bad that it’s good. There are a lot of movies in this collection that are so bad that they’re good. There’s also a lot of movies that are really bad, like Gigli, the movie with J Lo and-
Lauren Goode: Oh, with J Lo.
Michael Calore: Yeah.
Lauren Goode: Yeah. What else? Give us another one.
Michael Calore: Another one that’s bad?
Lauren Goode: Yeah.
Michael Calore: Xanadu. The Olivia Newton-John movie. A Cocktail is pretty bad. Ishtar is pretty bad. Barb Wire, the Pam Anderson vehicle from the mid nineties. That one’s actually OK. Freddie Got Fingered directed by and starring Tom Green is a fantastic movie. If you have not seen it, you must see Freddie Got Fingered. It won a Razzy. It made sense at the time.
Paresh Dave: So it’s bad.
Michael Calore: It’s bad, but it’s 23 years old and watching it now, it’s much better now than it was when it came out. It’s also just extremely unhinged and weird, so I highly recommend that. Anyway, yes, Criterion people, go to your app, find And The Razzy Goes To and watch these cinematic delights that are being served up for you by these great historical film preservationists.
Lauren Goode: Are you going to tune into the actual Oscars this weekend?
Michael Calore: Yeah, probably. Yeah. Maybe time delayed so I can skip all the nonsense.
Paresh Dave: An hour earlier this year, don’t forget.
Lauren Goode: Oh, right, because we’re jumping ahead?
Michael Calore: Yeah, right. It’s daylight savings on the 10th.
Lauren Goode: Yeah. That’s right.
Michael Calore: Yeah. And a new moon apparently.
Lauren Goode: And we’ve got a total eclipse coming up next month.
Michael Calore: A lot of astrological and astronomical things happening.
Lauren Goode: That’s right. We’re just going to pivot this podcast to astrology.
Michael Calore: We will not. All right, well, that is our show, astrology or not. Paresh, thank you for joining us.
Paresh Dave: Thank you for having me, and good luck for those of us that have to deal with it. The loss of an hour this Sunday.
Michael Calore: That’s right.
Lauren Goode: Yes. Like Kazu, is Kazu going to keep you up?
Paresh Dave: I think he’s not going to be happy.
Lauren Goode: We’re praying for you.
Michael Calore: And thanks to all of you for listening. If you have feedback, you can skeet all of us on Blue Sky. Just check the show notes. Our producer is Boone Ashworth and we will be back with a new show next week. And until then, goodbye.
