Ep 186: Sal Vulcano

.
- Yo!
- Yeah!
- We got a hot ep today.
- Hot ep, you're looking swole, man.
- Really?
- I can see it coming through.
- Really?
You're looking, you're fucking fit, dude.
- No, I mean, aside from the gay French Parisian shirt,
you are cooking. - Ah, it's pretty gay.
- No.
- I'm coming out.
- We got a real baguette over here.
- All right.
I went to Paris, I used that like eight times.
- Just on strangers, like,
"Can you stop saying that to me?"
Kind of racist and homophobic.
- Fucking Americans.
- Dude, I was complaining about the candy.
All weekend, my girlfriend's bringing home candy.
Like, so much candy!
I'm opening drawers, there's candy.
I got no willpower.
I'm like, "Stop with the candy!"
- Well, once it's in the house, it's over.
You gotta not have it in the house.
Nothing good.
I have no ice cream in my house, no candy, nothing.
- There's so much junk in the house.
I just, when she does it, and then I find it,
and then I throw it out.
- Yeah.
- 'Cause I'm gonna eat it.
- Chocolate?
Gummy?
- All kinds.
Well, so one thing we did over the weekend,
I had a friend come to, my buddy Chase,
we saw Film Forum was playing Indiana Jones,
Raiders of the Lost Ark.
- Hell yeah.
- That's gonna be fun to see on a big screen.
- The face is melting.
- Oh, dude, awesome.
- Nazis.
- Fuck, yeah, so easy.
I always, what do they do with the Nazi flags
after the production?
- Ooh.
- They just keep 'em in a warehouse?
You think they bit 'em off to some fucking creep
on Facebook, not Facebook back then,
but when a movie is Nazi paraphernalia,
I always wonder what they do.
- Melted Facebook.
- What?
- Melted Facebook.
- And I also wonder if they,
if like a real Nazi, what do you call it,
like a, what do you call it, memorabilia,
if they're like, this is from a movie,
I got the real shit, you know?
It's like fakes, like with a baseball card.
- Oh, you got the Indiana Jones shit?
- Adolf Eichmann right here, this is the good Nazi shit.
- I got Goebbels, you got Spielberg, all right?
Some Jew touched that one.
- I'm watching it with my friend,
and my girlfriend's a fucking, she's a Texan,
so she's like, oh really, he still has bullets?
I'm like, that's your problem with Indiana Jones?
- Ah!
- He's fucking breaking,
he's getting their guns out with a whip.
- Yeah, right, right.
- So many great scenes.
You know that scene where the guy has the two crazy machetes,
and you think, yeah, he just shoots him immediately.
- Great bit.
- As a kid, that was like, I laughed so hard.
- Same.
- I remember watching it with a cousin who was like,
he just killed him.
I'm like, oh, you're gonna grow up to be a pussy.
- Ah!
- You suck.
- Yeah, it's a great misdirect.
How about the scene?
This is why Indiana Jones changed the game.
When he's up on the plane,
and he's like trying to do something,
and the big guy's like, come on, come on,
and he goes, that is everything.
You never see a superhero guy or the protagonist like,
oh, I gotta fight this fucking guy.
The guy's huge, shirtless buff guy,
and he's like, all right.
He doesn't back down, but he's not happy about it.
- That's such a good point.
And also, I think that was the first time
they did the propeller from the plane to kill the guy,
that I had seen at least.
I was like, holy shit.
- I think so.
- They've used that since a ton, but.
- To George Lucas' credit, he got the script to this,
and he sent it to Spielberg.
He's like, you would be better with this.
You gotta make this.
- Wow.
- So, yeah, Lucas produced it,
but I think Spielberg directed it.
- They were playing a ton of good shit at the film
for him all weekend.
It was just like a lot of, it was like best of eighties,
they called it.
But they had like, you know, like the Palma,
they'd like dress to kill.
They had like, they had like fun movies playing there.
After Hours.
- Oh, nice.
Love After Hours.
- That's a fun one.
- Yeah, you, that's such a you movie.
- The whole movie, no cell phones.
That's the base of the whole movie plot.
There's no phone, there's no GBS.
- That's Seinfeld.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Those whole like, you know, miscommunications.
That's West Side Story.
- Right.
- We could clear this up with a text.
- Right.
- No one's dying.
- Yes, a misunderstanding could carry a movie.
- Carries a movie.
- Oh yeah, great, great film.
I watched On the Waterfront.
- Have you never seen it?
- Never seen it.
- Oh, it's incredible.
I'm on a Kazan kick, it's so good.
- Isn't that, that's like one of the best scripts too.
- And the acting is just everything, you know,
Marlon Brando.
- And Karl Mulden was he?
- Yes, yes, the priest.
- That fucking nose.
- Oh, quite a beak on that guy.
- He had a beak for a priest.
- Yeah, Jim Blossom, but yeah.
- That movie's so good.
- So what do you think Orson Welles meant
when he said this movie celebrates the snitch?
You've just seen it.
- He's a snitch.
- Yeah, he did snitch, but he snitched in a good way.
- Right.
- I didn't love the ending.
I don't want to give it away.
- Is there snitching in a good way?
- He did.
- Okay.
- Yeah, I mean, he snitched on the bad guy.
- Yeah.
- But Orson Welles' point that we played,
I think on a previous episode was, you know,
he was a snitch and he found an example
of where snitching was good.
And he's making like, he thinks that's like,
this is my story to tell.
And it's like, nah, you snitched on fucking commies, man.
- Yeah.
Yeah, so good.
- You named names.
- Right.
- And I do love at the end of that.
- Good point.
- At the end of that interview, Orson Welles goes,
but I must add, he is a very good director.
Even after trashing him.
No work that he's ever, we've got to find the clip again.
It's such a good fucking clip.
- Yeah.
And I couldn't, there's a lot of Tyson parallels.
He's a boxer.
He has pigeons.
He's short.
He's against Brooklyn, against the world.
- He raped.
- Oh my God, did you see the clip of Tyson and the guy on Morning News?
You've got to find this.
- No.
- Tyson with a guy.
He said, so you were convicted of rape, but you've got to see what Tyson says
back.
- What?
- This is crazy.
- This is old, huh?
- Yeah, it's old, but it's crazy.
This is it.
- Oh, I have seen this.
- This is incredible.
- I had to pull that up quick.
Nice.
Google bitch is back.
- Some of your critics would say, you know, there's a race for mayor.
We know you're a convicted rapist.
- Oh, that was it.
- He joins us right now.
- What is he thinking?
- Alex, thanks for joining us, both of you.
Some of your critics would say, you know, there's a race for mayor.
We know you're a convicted rapist.
This could hurt his campaign.
How would you respond to that?
- Hey, I don't know who said that.
You don't even know who said that.
You know what I mean?
And I have no comment to that, you know, because it's negative and you being
negative.
And I met the mayor and nothing they can do about it.
It's so interesting that you come across like a nightmare, but you're really a
piece
of shit.
Hey, come on, man.
Come on.
Fuck you.
That was a piece of shit.
You know, we're doing live TV.
I don't care.
What are you going to do about it?
Is it nerve-wracking for you to do something like this, or is it more nervous
for you to
box?
How does it compare?
- I don't know.
It's more nerve-wracking for you to hear us talking to a rat piece of shit.
Is that Chaz Balmantieri?
No.
No.
Okay.
That guy thought he was going to segue his way out of that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So which is more nerve-wracking?
Oh, no, no, no.
Fuck you.
He thought he was going to segue calling him a rapist.
Right.
So which do you prefer?
Wow.
Chocolate or vanilla ice cream?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Here it is.
Oh, this is killer.
Well, you have chosen the wrong metteur-en-scene.
You have chosen the wrong metteur-en-scene.
Because Ilya Kazan is a traitor.
Wow.
He is a man who sold to McCarthy all of his companions at a time when he could
continue to work in New York at high salary.
At an time when he could continue to work in New York at a price of salary.
And having sold all of his people to McCarthy, he then made a film called On
the Waterfront, which was a celebration of the informer.
I never put that together.
And therefore, no question which uses him as an example can be answered by me.
I have to add, I have to add that he is a very good director.
He keeps it so real and he also speaks as a writer.
Right.
Every line is so well put together.
The build is great.
That's true.
He's so dramatic.
Yes.
Everything he says is so dramatic.
And that's why, fuck that book, I told Adam Egett to read it.
I read it on the toilet.
It's so funny.
That's great.
But he sent me him reading it on the beach on a vacation.
Adam Egett's reading it.
And he, the part that he found hilarious, that I found hilarious is, you know,
this young director trying to get Orson Welles to do his movie, his first movie.
And Peter Bogdanovich is like, I'll tell you where he's staying is in New York
City.
I probably told this in the pod, but it's such a great story.
And he goes, I'll tell you where he's staying, but, you know, he's not going to
do your first movie.
Shows up to his hotel.
He opens the door in like purple pajamas.
He said he looked like a giant grape.
And he said, he goes, who are you?
And he goes, I'm a director.
I need you in my film.
You're my favorite filmmaker.
And he goes, I'll never do a director's first film.
Never.
And he goes, that's not true.
You did your first film as you, and you were a director.
And he goes, I won't do it.
I get out of here, leave.
And then he goes, I know you're a magician and you play a magician in this.
And he just paused.
He goes, could I wear a cape?
That's how he got him.
He just did it.
Can you imagine showing up to your hero's hotel?
And by the way, I mean, just like, he's the most interesting guy.
He's the weirdest, most fascinating.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, in the book, you're just like reading along and it's all normal.
And he's like, I should say he was a red man, a Choctaw.
And you're like, where did that come from?
But he just slides it in.
He'll be like weirdly racist against the Irish in the book.
And you're like, who's racist against Irish people?
It's like your old bit.
Yes, yes.
So you loved On the Waterfront though?
Yeah, I loved it.
I mean, it's so cool because it's a New York movie, but it's in this one little
bubble.
And it's not, there's not a lot to it.
It's pretty bare bones, but it still packs a punch.
And it looks beautiful.
For like an old black, some old black and white movies, they don't like,
the look doesn't hold up sometimes.
Yeah.
But this one looks gorgeous.
Looks great.
And of course, as you know, he changed the game with method acting.
And this is really where it showcased.
And he was kind of a nobody, right?
Brando was not a big name.
I think Streetcar was before this.
Oh.
But he, I mean, yeah, he was like a hunk in this too.
Hunk.
And 5'9".
Yeah.
Helps out the five foot club.
And James Dean, 5'7".
No shit.
Yeah, that's all.
Actors.
Actors, man.
They're always smaller than you think.
Tiny.
I think Tom Cruise is what, 5'8".
Is he?
Yeah.
On heels.
Rogan, 5'1".
So yeah, crazy.
Peter Dinklage, weirdly 6'7".
He's that good an actor.
Brando was in the streetcar in 51.
Oh, 51.
Wow.
That's a big number.
53.
Oh.
Wild one in 53.
And then on the waterfront right after that.
But he found him.
Kazan found him.
Yeah.
Or propped him up at least.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he's so good, man.
You know what?
I got a good record for you guys.
There's a show on Apple called Slow Horses.
Slow Horses.
It's phenomenal.
All right.
Gary Oldman plays like an out of shape, like greasy, doesn't shower, farting,
belching head
head of this, they're called the, it's Slough House.
They're like the MI5, you know, they're CIA basically.
And it's like, this is where the castaways get sent.
The people who fucked up are now in Slough House, the Slow Horses.
And he's the head of them and he's an asshole to everybody, but he's brilliant.
And he was like a great spy in his day, but now he's kind of like a washed up.
He's still
