Dan MurrellHOST
I liked that movie a lot.
Dan MurrellHOST
say anything is also up there for me i remember watching it i didn't see it for the first time until I was well into adulthood and I watched it just because, you know, it's got the John Cusack boom box.
Dan MurrellHOST
I was like, well, I should watch this movie because it has this moment that's been referenced so many times, but I kind of expected maybe a little bit of a dated 80s teen movie.
Dan MurrellHOST
And it's so much more than that.
Dan MurrellHOST
And it tapped into something so kind of universal, even though it is dated in the sense that you can tell it was made in the 80s.
Dan MurrellHOST
There's something that's so... just relatable about that movie.
Dan MurrellHOST
So I'd say Say Anything is a close second.
Dan MurrellHOST
I love Jerry Maguire.
Henry ZebrowskiADVERTISER
It's my time to flip out.
Jackie ZebrowskiHOST
How dare you, MJ, ever say anything about my...
Jackie ZebrowskiHOST
It's because MJ wants my wicker husband.
Jackie ZebrowskiHOST
I can feel them.
26 MINS LATER
MJHOST
But it is so fucking funny.
MJHOST
So, of course, we've been laughing about John Cusack on the show for years because of this email we got telling us about him doing a coffee enema on set.
MJHOST
And this is especially very funny to me because my husband's favorite movie is Say Anything, and he has a tattoo of John Cusack from Say Anything on his body.
Jackie ZebrowskiHOST
And so I've always been like, oh, John Cusack, the nicest guy ever, or maybe not because of his coffee anymore.
Heather GreenePANELIST
So she looks much younger here than she did in The Conjuring.
Heather GreenePANELIST
She also at the time was in Mystic Pisa and Say Anything.
Heather GreenePANELIST
If you are a Gen Xer, you will know what movies those are.
Heather GreenePANELIST
Catherine Zeta-Jones, this is when she was super popular as well.
Dick ToledoHOST
He did it in Lloyd.
Dick ToledoHOST
Lloyd in Say Anything.
Dick ToledoHOST
That's the same character.
John HolmbergHOST
Yeah, but it's, I don't know.
Luke FerrisHOST
Just culturally, it hasn't stayed the language and the themes.
Luke FerrisHOST
Say Anything, Fast Times, The Outsiders, which is not set in the 80s.
Luke FerrisHOST
But again, this is more of like going back to the 50s, I believe.
Luke FerrisHOST
But you have another auteur director using this genre or teenagers to talk about coming of age, angst.
Zach HallGUEST
So that's also a part of it is like you have like this aspect of like, oh, this person's hot or we're talking about these concepts.
Zach HallGUEST
I think that are really, really like taboos for teenagers up until this point.
Zach HallGUEST
Um, but I mean, there's also just really great romance like teen teen rom-coms to like say anything is huge for me.
Zach HallGUEST
And it brought John Cusack.
Frank SantopadreHOST
I'm going to connect it to last week's, where I talked about the great Polly Platt.
Frank SantopadreHOST
This was another film that she produced because she worked with Bogdanovich early in her career, and later in her career she worked with James L. Brooks, another director that I like a lot, on movies like Say Anything and Terms of Endearment.
Frank SantopadreHOST
And this movie, I know you know, is Broadcast News.
Gilbert GottfriedHOST
Oh, yes.
Marc KulkinHOST
I was trying to come up with a clever analogy.
Marc KulkinHOST
How many of you remember that 80s movie? What was it called? Say Anything.
Marc KulkinHOST
John Cusack.
Marc KulkinHOST
I think the character he played, Lloyd.
Stefanie Wilder TaylorHOST
And
Cecily KnoblerHOST
I also wanted to say, yes, but before people get mad that you're like, that's our Lloyd Dobler from Say Anything, which is, I don't know about you, but it's one of my all-time favorite rom, it's not a rom-com, but romance movies.
Cecily KnoblerHOST
And Um, the thing about it is that we were never, I said this before and I was really proud of myself.
Cecily KnoblerHOST
We were never in love with John Cusack.
Cecily KnoblerHOST
Cause he pulled me over and he was like, Cecily, you just, you just interviewed me for the, you did such a great article.
Cecily KnoblerHOST
Do you want to meet Cameron? And he pulls me over and he's like, this woman is the most amazing writer ever.
Cecily KnoblerHOST
He didn't say anything about him, like Cameron Crowe.
Cecily KnoblerHOST
And I like floated home.
