Dave,

what's your hidden gem? My hidden gem would be Breakfast on Pluto because I saw that was on some TV there recently and it's 20 years old, 21 years old now at this stage.

It's not.

Yeah, 2005.

But, um, yeah, that movie, I love Velvet Goldmine.

It's up there with my movie- with one of my favorite movies, um, Breakfast on Pluto.

Oh, those two movies are one of my...

Anytime, Velvet Goldmine, Breakfast on Pluto.

Yep.

And what I was also gonna say is, uh, about Velvet Goldmine, 'cause seeing Ewan McGregor in I Love You Phil- I Love You, Philip Morris, I'm like, "Hmm." So in Velvet Goldmine he got together with Batman, and in this movie he got together with the Riddler.

And if you get a chance to, do check out Velvet Goldmine.

It is a good fucking movie.
