Listener comments!
	6:02pm chresti: Hi Jim and thumbers!
	👍 6:02pm Franco Twinkie: Howdy Jim!
	6:04pm Jim the Poet: Call 201 209 9368 to tell me I'm wrong about movies
	6:05pm Sean: a poet and you know it
	👍 6:05pm Sean T-Rex: Hello Mr. Poet!!! & All!
	👍 6:05pm Folsom: How often does a DJ have two shows during the week?
	6:06pm ?: ↳ Folsom @6:05 ken has 2 in a day
	6:06pm Mark Hurst: I thought we were the "Poetz"
	6:06pm ?: clay has 5
	6:07pm P-90: “Thumbsters”?
	6:07pm chresti: ↳ Folsom @6:05 Ken is on 2 shows
	6:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Jim and Thumb Bums! 👍👎👍
	👍 6:07pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ chresti @6:02 Trend setter chresti!
	6:07pm common: hello! tried to watch hit man. yikes!
	👍 6:07pm Folsom: How about the "Jaw Droppers" after Ebert?
	6:08pm THUMZ: THUMZ UNITE
	👍 6:08pm Sean T-Rex: Where the other comment board go? It was filled with fun!
	6:09pm Kat in the chat: Thumbelinas?
	6:09pm Tom from Stirling: Alien: Romulus starts later this summer. That looks good.
	👍 6:10pm Sean T-Rex: The trailer is a huge part for me
	6:10pm Niall: I think the only Star Wars thing I really like post original trilogy was the first season of the Mandalorian and Andor. I’d watch a lot more Star Wars if they made some bolder choices to make decent movies and shows. Bertolucci’s “The Conformist,” set after “Return of the Jedi?” I’d watch that.
	6:10pm P-90: “Alien: Thumbulus”?
	6:11pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Hello Jim and moviegoers. The last movie I saw was Barbie, the one b4 that was Ford vs. Ferrari, pre lockdown. Trying to get the courage to see some new movies.
	6:11pm chresti: ↳ Kat in the chat @6:09 I had a thumbalina!
	6:12pm Tom from Stirling: Little Annie Fanning
	6:12pm RustyinBaltimore: I’m rooting for Peter and also think we should be called moviegoers.
	6:13pm Marie in Chicago: I despise M Night SWamalyan (sp.) -- seems to pander to whatever seems hot
	6:13pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @6:13 I meant to type Shamalayan
	👍 6:14pm Sean T-Rex: I don't think you can offend Franco
	6:14pm common: ↳ Marie in Chicago @6:13 with you
	6:14pm chresti: Watching movies takes a big chunk out of the day
	6:14pm UWS Joe: Anyone see Under Paris on Netflix? It’s technically a movie!
	6:15pm DonJuanTijuana: Thank you for eliminating Bucci
	6:16pm P-90: When a poet stabs you in the back, it’s always with a wink and a smile
	6:16pm Tom from Stirling: Garfield? Really?
	6:16pm Kat in the chat: Hi chresti! There were Thumbelina dolls? I don’t think I had one.
	6:17pm Listener Robert: Yeah, it's so unfair, people think the claim is staked for the voice-over by the first to play the role, and that's so wrong.
	👍 6:17pm Sean T-Rex: Chris Pratt didn't do a good Mario. Also, HOW CAN HE VOICE GARFIELD AND MARIO?!?! Makes no sense!
	6:17pm chresti: ↳ P-90 @6:16 And poetic?
	6:17pm RustyinBaltimore: This show is for Garfield heads only. Not a complaint!
	6:18pm chresti: I keep conflating Garfield with Morris
	👍 6:19pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ RustyinBaltimore @6:17 This is like the Jim Davis house sketch from 'I Think You Should Leave' lol
	6:19pm Listener Robert: The classic example is Dagwood, whom everyone seems to try to voice like Arthur Lake, who played him in live action. Arthur Lake got SOME of the character right, but there's plenty of Dagwood balloons I hear in a very different voice from that.
	6:19pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Sean T-Rex @6:17 Chris Pratt is over-rated.
	👍 6:20pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Tom from Stirling @6:19 Thank You! I'm with it
	6:20pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Tom from Stirling @6:19 Channing Tatum as well.
	👍 6:21pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Tom from Stirling @6:20 Yea, but I don't think he takes himself seriously. Not a bad trait
	6:21pm Land Phil: Are we still talking about Garfield?
	6:21pm RustyinBaltimore: Yeah, but it’s like a complete party house.
	6:21pm Land Phil: no complaints, just need to know if I should grab my Garfield slippers.
	6:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Summer of Garfield
	6:23pm Bruce S.: Garfield has influenced and impacted a lot of people's lives Thanks Jim
	6:23pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Sean T-Rex @6:21 Yeah, he's okay. But not really a great actor.
	6:23pm RustyinBaltimore: Thumber of Garfield
	👍 6:23pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Tom from Stirling @6:23 I think we are on the same page, lol
	👍 6:24pm Sean T-Rex: Have Franco play Jim Davis
	6:24pm Tom from Stirling: Hope this guy Franco calls back
	6:25pm chresti: ↳ Kat in the chat @6:16 Yes! I had one when I was about 5 or 6. Also a Chatty Cathy
	6:27pm xoxo: You need to watch better movies bro
	6:27pm common: preach jim the poet!
	6:28pm Bruce S.: all roads lead to Garfield
	6:28pm Land Phil: Six degrees of Garfield
	6:29pm chresti: The Internet Archive is where I go to the movies
	👍 6:29pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Bruce S. @6:28 Rule #1
	6:29pm Shama-Llama-Ding-Dong: 🤩😄🥳😉
	6:30pm Tom from Stirling: There's a monster in Garfield?!
	6:30pm Bruce S.: ↳ Sean T-Rex @6:29 it seems to be true on this show
	6:31pm Tom from Stirling: Is it true monsters live such interesting lives?
	👍 6:33pm Sean T-Rex: 'Parks & Recreation' - A show which starred Chris Pratt....who voice Garfield! All roads must lead!
	6:33pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Sean T-Rex @6:33 Aubrey Plaza thankfully counterbalances
	6:33pm Shama-Llama-Ding-Dong: Was ‘OLD’ worth the effort? Always great casts, a manipulator of actors as pawns, sometimes works, sometimes don’t. The VISIT (2015?) is perhaps my fave of his.
	6:34pm Mark Hurst: Agreed, Jim - something soulless there.
	6:34pm Marie in Chicago: I despise CGI @)
	6:35pm Bruce S.: cgi sucks
	👍 6:35pm Sean T-Rex: The original Jurassic Park had puppets. Remember the raptors in the kitchen scene
	6:36pm P-90: Jim’s Yoda is gnarly
	6:37pm tom tom the pipers son: poor things had a lot of cgi (backgrounds) in it...what did folks think? i'm on the fence, but when i think about it it worked because the film was a fairy tale
	👍 6:37pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ P-90 @6:36 Sounded like Garfield
	6:37pm RustyinBaltimore: Practical effects!
	6:38pm Marie in Chicago: I think reality rules--even CGI can't compete with it
	6:38pm Destroit: Oh wow Jim has a talky talk show! Totally down for this.
	6:38pm Shama-Llama-Ding-Dong: Re CGI; if one has seen original PACIFIC RIM (kaiju) by Guillermo del Toro, on a big theater screen, it’s so beautiful (for a monster movie!) it seriously shrinks the experience on a big flatscreen.
	6:38pm tom tom the pipers son: i think the difference is conceptual and deep seated in the brain
	6:39pm Tom from Stirling: Florence Pugh on the other hand is a great actor.
	6:39pm P-90: “the monkey movies”
	6:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:38 its hardwired into "watching"
	6:40pm ∫ydniuß: 🐸 are we married now Jim?
	6:40pm Shama-Llama-Ding-Dong: We Loved the Fun that was The FALL GUY. Surprisingly better than the tv show!? - hahaha 😜
	6:40pm Bruce S.: cgi looks so fake and is usually so over done I'm like who cares about this? there is no wonder in it, no awe, although i did like the Matrix
	6:40pm Rich in Wading River: Saw The Bikeriders last night. Really good. Tom Hardy was amazing. Also starred Jody Comer, Austin Butler, and Michael Shannon. CGI probably limited to blood splatter.
	👍 6:40pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Destroit @6:38 Don't voice actors act to nothing tho?
	6:41pm Marie in Chicago: I do like Studio Ghibli animated movies though. I think the might have a lot of cgi...
	6:42pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Bruce S. @6:40 I agree
	6:42pm P-90: that station manager sounds like he’s got an “opinion” about everything
	6:42pm Marie in Chicago: Wait, Jim got a celebrity guest?
	6:43pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ P-90 @6:42 Colonel Ken
	6:43pm goes211: I’m seeing Fabio recommended movies recently. Just saw Au Hasard Balthazar. Good, interesting but not sure it’s a top 100 of all time as many critics maintain.
	6:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Marie in Chicago @6:41 it must be different thing, process that popping a dinosaur into a scene
	6:43pm Mennlinn Rebarts: Today would be Roger Ebert's 84th birthday.
	6:43pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Rich in Wading River @6:40 You recommend? Is it rated R?
	6:44pm KWilde: The problem with CGI is it leaves less and less to the imagination of the viewer. People have been going to the theatre since the beginning of time expecting artifice - suspending disbelief. I also think it’s ridiculous to cast voice actors solely because they are known stars but I suppose that sells tickets or helps in funding the film - selling it to investors
	6:44pm Shama-Llama-Ding-Dong: I am infatuated with Flory Pugh - so my thoughts don’t count.
	6:44pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ goes211 @6:43 I saw the original of that and it tipped me into a bit of a depression
	6:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ KWilde @6:44 right...
	6:45pm Marie in Chicago: Hollywood loves CGI cuz it's cheaper, right?
	6:45pm P-90: Chekhovian quiet ROCKS!
	6:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Marie in Chicago @6:44 it hasn't been remade
	6:46pm Tom from Stirling: Florence Pugh is my favorite.
	6:46pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Mennlinn Rebarts @6:43 I met him once, in physical therapy
	👍 6:46pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Marie in Chicago @6:45 Probably. Compared to what tho?
	6:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Sean T-Rex @6:46 and it also makes the process of filmmaking seamlessly corporate
	6:48pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:45 I'm thinking of EO, which i guess was inspired by the original. It too follows the life of a donkey
	6:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Marie in Chicago @6:48 oh u huh... ;)
	6:49pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Sean T-Rex @6:46 more original animation? real sets or going on location?
	6:49pm goes211: @Marie in Chicago…I’ve heard many have that reaction. I’m just as much an animal lover as anyone but I guess the odd film techniques and acting had me somewhat distracted. The final “pastoral “ scene was powerful.
	6:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ goes211 @6:49 bresson filmed mainly with non actors
	6:51pm Bruce S.: are all these cgi blockbusters shot on video? does anyone know the percentages?
	6:51pm Tasha: What’s the title of the film he’s interviewing the actress from?
	6:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ goes211 @6:49 how do you think the film techniques were odd?
	6:52pm tranewreck: "The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed"
	6:53pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ goes211 @6:49 I think it was beautiful movie, visually. A really good movie. I just can't stand to hear/see animals not being treated well. And to know that kind of thing has been going on for centuries...
	6:53pm Tasha: Thank you
	👍 6:53pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:48 Jim, you are a poet! We got you here
	6:54pm P-90: “I’m a poet and I work in a bookstore” is catnip to the single ladies
	6:54pm tranewreck: JTP is not giving her room to talk
	6:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Marie in Chicago @6:53 bresson was catholic, suffering is a thing for catholics
	👍 6:54pm Franco Twinkie: Tell me about it!
	6:56pm Bruce S.: Jim, we are a ruff audiance I guess, But great job enjoyed the show thanks
	6:57pm goes211: I guess it was mostly I had a hard time following the actors motives. I’m glad the director didn’t use “regular “ actors. It’s interesting technique but acting is a skill. Still, a good movie. Glad I watched it. Will look for more of his films.
	👍 6:58pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you Joanna and Jim.
	6:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ goes211 @6:57 a man escaped is a good one to start
	👍 6:58pm Sean T-Rex: Thanks Jim! Please let's discuss Garfield next week!
	6:59pm Marie in Chicago: thumbs up, Jim! Thanks!
	6:59pm chresti: Thanks Jim!
	7:00pm goes211: @tom Tom…thank you

	6:49pm goes211: @Marie in Chicago…I’ve heard many have that reaction. I’m just as much an animal lover as anyone but I guess the odd film techniques and acting had me somewhat distracted. The final “pastoral “ scene was powerful.
	6:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ goes211 @6:49 bresson filmed mainly with non actors
	6:51pm Bruce S.: are all these cgi blockbusters shot on video? does anyone know the percentages?
	6:51pm Tasha: What’s the title of the film he’s interviewing the actress from?
	6:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ goes211 @6:49 how do you think the film techniques were odd?
	6:52pm tranewreck: "The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed"
	6:53pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ goes211 @6:49 I think it was beautiful movie, visually. A really good movie. I just can't stand to hear/see animals not being treated well. And to know that kind of thing has been going on for centuries...
	6:53pm Tasha: Thank you

	6:56pm Bruce S.: Jim, we are a ruff audiance I guess, But great job enjoyed the show thanks
	6:57pm goes211: I guess it was mostly I had a hard time following the actors motives. I’m glad the director didn’t use “regular “ actors. It’s interesting technique but acting is a skill. Still, a good movie. Glad I watched it. Will look for more of his films.
	👍 6:58pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you Joanna and Jim.
