Amanda JanikGUEST
He doesn't say, but it stuck with him, that image of this kid with this bulbous head.
Amanda JanikGUEST
Plus, one of the movies that really influenced Sean Cunningham when he was younger was The Elephant Man.
Amanda JanikGUEST
So that's why they designed young Jason to look that way.
Amanda JanikGUEST
We only see him at the end when he pulls Alice back into the lake, you know, in the flashback to when he's drowning.
LuttsyHOST
We could do it.
LuttsyHOST
For me, the elephant man.
LuttsyHOST
Oh, yes.
LuttsyHOST
Specifically, I remember, I don't know where Mum and we used to get sort of babysat by one of my great aunties at Virginia.
LuttsyHOST
And I still remember I had two aunties, two houses apart.
LuttsyHOST
And I remember for some reason she thought it was a good idea that she would let us watch The Elephant Man.
LuttsyHOST
It was like the OG Elephant Man.
LuttsyHOST
Black and white? It might have been.
Neal E. FischerGUEST
Rick Baker was the first person to win an Academy Award for Best Makeup, which was given out in 1982.
Neal E. FischerGUEST
The reason it was only 1982 was there was actually an outcry because The Elephant Man came out in 1980, and it wasn't recognized for any awards because there was no makeup category.
Neal E. FischerGUEST
So they created it.
Neal E. FischerGUEST
Rick Baker received the first makeup Oscar and actually won six more, making him the winningest makeup artist in Hollywood history with seven Oscars, which is pretty crazy.
Brian KuiperGUEST
And I think Freddie Francis has so much to do with that.
Brian KuiperGUEST
He went on to make a lot of movies of his own, but he also returned to cinematography late in his career to work with David Lynch on a couple of movies, The Straight Story and The Elephant Man.
Brian KuiperGUEST
And so just beautiful films and just such an incredible cinematographer.
Devon TaylorHOST
Yes.

Mike SnoonianHOST
Pretty good, I guess.
Mike SnoonianHOST
It's okay.
Mike SnoonianHOST
Robert Duvall in The Great Santini, John Hurt in The Elephant Man, Jack Lemmon in Tribute, and Peter O'Toole in The Stuntman.
Mike SnoonianHOST
I've never seen Tribute, but I'm not taking Jack Lemmon out of anything that he's nominated for because Jack Lemmon's amazing.
Neil RogersHOST
And that's what I feel when I'm watching a lot of Carpenter films, right? I mean, I remember last year I was kind of watching a bunch of David Lynch films and I love David Lynch.
Neil RogersHOST
But I think I had watched in one weekend A Razorhead, Mulholland Drive and Elephant Man.
Neil RogersHOST
And I remember like Sunday night I was like, I actually feel shook by the level of just... everything's so heavy at the minute i had to go and watch something so i immediately reached for big trouble little china which immediately picked me up again and there is inherent comfort particularly in that movie but we're going to talk about them and a lot more i mean for me i'm with you um look i'm not a filmmaker like you but like i i am a diehard film fan like you and and for me i find comfort in his films i go to his films just to know as i said you're in the arms of a fantastic filmmaker who's absolutely going to give you the best viewing experience he can have.
Neil RogersHOST
He's also, sadly, kind of an unsung hero for a very long time in his career, right? He was kind of...
Eric MetaxasHOST
If you don't know about it, there's just a handful of these films, folks, that they're the greatest films ever made.
Eric MetaxasHOST
The Elephant Man, David Lynch, another one.
Eric MetaxasHOST
On the Waterfront by Elia Kazan.
Eric MetaxasHOST
These are some of the greatest films ever made.
Kyle MacLachlanGUEST
I'm very like, you know, I've got to figure stuff out.
Kyle MacLachlanGUEST
But then I watched Elephant Man, of course, and I was like, wow, that is very different.
Kyle MacLachlanGUEST
But I do see some similarities, visual similarities, you know, and this grotesque side of things, you know.
Kyle MacLachlanGUEST
And when I met David, I didn't know who I was reading, and I met David and I said, This is a guy from Montana.
Bradley CooperGUEST
But I just thought I would have felt even more guilty with that.
Bradley CooperGUEST
So I remember when he saw The Elephant Man, when I did it for my thesis, and I remember so clearly that moment where he looked at me and I saw him excited at the prospect that maybe his son can make a living as an actor.
Charlie RoseHOST
Because he saw you doing that?
Bradley CooperGUEST
Yeah, he liked it.
Bradley CooperGUEST
You know, I saw the story.
Bradley CooperGUEST
And I think he got excited that, you know what, maybe there's a shot.
Charlie RoseHOST
What is it about The Elephant Man that so grabbed your attention so early?
Bradley CooperGUEST
It was the emotion that it evoked in me, that's what it was, from seeing David Lynch's film.
PeteHOST
competitive.
PeteHOST
Because honorary was, I believe, The Elephant Man.
PeteHOST
Because the big gag with The Elephant Man is that we can't award this in a competitive category.
PeteHOST
So they just gave a special achievement Oscar.
Scott YoungbauerHOST
So they're saying, we can't not recognize what they've done in this
speaker_3SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Oh no.
PaulHOST
But Mel Brooks did secretly produce The Elephant Man which starred John Heard and that's how he was able to get Heard to reprise his role in that really funny parody.
PaulHOST
In What Another Clue we see as Ash stops him from killing it which allows it to go off and grow.
PaulHOST
This further damns the rest of the crew and we then cut to the bridge where we see Cain's funeral.
