DanHOST
The selection this week is the 2014 film Whiplash, written and directed by Damien Chazelle.
DanHOST
starring Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons and some other people who don't really end up mattering all that much.
DanHOST
It's really a two-hander.
DanHOST
And this is the first film that Damien Chazelle released as a wide release.
DanHOST
And I thought that was silly but wonderful idea.
DanHOST
So here we are in Train Month.
DanHOST
And this film is about a student-teacher relationship, Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons being the student and the teacher respectively.
DanHOST
This is a film I'm guessing, if you're listening to this, you've seen.
HenryGUEST
Yeah.
HenryGUEST
But like, you know, Mr. Dick, like Mr. Dictovich, the landlord, Betty Brandt, J.K. Simmons is one of the best casting decisions ever.
HenryGUEST
Yeah.
HenryGUEST
The chocolate cake scene with Mr. Dictovich's daughter.
Justin BakerHOST

JackHOST
J.K. Simmons, Willem Dafoe, Bruce Campbell, Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst.
JackHOST
Not really James Franco anymore, but at the time, James Franco, you know? It's just great.
JackHOST
It's a phenomenal lineup.
Random Randy SavageHOST
If you were already a fucking asshole, you get turned into a literal asshole when the demon gets in you.
BeatEmDownHOST
So we get treated with a really dope-ass J.K. Simmons cameo.
BeatEmDownHOST
And I love me some J.K. Simmons, and I love how...
BeatEmDownHOST
JK loves burying himself into any role, whether it be serious or funny as fuck.
BeatEmDownHOST
And I loved his character.
BeatEmDownHOST
Horrifically.
BeatEmDownHOST
He's getting slaughtered.
BeatEmDownHOST
J.K. Simmons character is like, that's right, son.
SimonHOST
The town is devoid of joy, and the residents are more interested in fighting than sending letters.
SimonHOST
Jesper's fortunes change when he meets Klaus, played by J.K. Simmons, a reclusive carpenter living in the woods with a cabin full of handmade toys.
SimonHOST
Together, they embark on a mission to bring happiness to the town's children, inadvertently creating the legend of Santa Claus.
SimonHOST
The film's animation is a standout feature, blending hand-drawn techniques with CGI lighting to create a visually stunning experience.
SimonHOST
Jesper's journey from a self-centred brat to a caring individual is both entertaining and touching, as he learns the value of kindness and community.
SimonHOST
The voice cast delivers strong performances, with Jason Schwartzman bringing charm and humour to Jesper's character.
SimonHOST
J.K. Simmons provides a gruff yet endearing portrayal of Klaus, while Rashida Jones, Joan Cusack and Norm Macdonald add depth to the supporting roles.
SimonHOST
The film's soundtrack, though occasionally featuring modern pop songs, complements the story's whimsical tone.
KyleHOST
Episode 141, we had five actors we threw onto the wheel.
KyleHOST
That included Maya Wasikowska, J.K. Simmons, Alan Cumming, Russell Crowe.
KyleHOST
But it didn't matter because the wheel selected Bill Pullman, who has 106 credits, two directing, one producing, three soundtrack, and has a little bit of theater packed in there as well.
KyleHOST
So we always kind of talk about the highs and lows, the things we love, the things we didn't love as much, you know, nostalgia.
BrendanHOST
Whereas this film, okay, there are characters, but it's really carried by...
BrendanHOST
Miles Teller and JK Simmons and it's all about their relationship and I think they both just do like great performances and like Teller's vulnerability and like youth and versus like Simmons being like really cynical and mean like I think they do a really good performance and my even better if it's something I kind of alluded to which is like I wanted to see more of an example of like well what would it be like if someone played jazz like soulfully and without this really sadistic kind of disciplinarian mindset like let's have maybe that
SaraHOST
doesn't exist
BrendanHOST
well I mean that's that's dark if so is that the moral of the story there's no such thing as uh kind of jazz music yeah do you have another moral of the story
Adam RitchieHOST
It was four bucks with a 20% off sale for Ride the Eagle.
