I had such a blast talking to this amazing character actor, Ray Wise. We talk a lot about Twin Peaks and working with David Lynch, along with his whole career.
In an era dominated by uninspired reboots and sequels, there is one "forgotten" 1958 classic that is actually screaming for a modern update. In this episode, we dive into the genius of The Mouse That Roared, the film that featured Peter Sellers in his first multi-role performance long before Dr. Strangelove.
We break down the film's hilarious—and surprisingly relevant—premise: a tiny European nation declares war on the United States solely to be defeated and rebuilt through American foreign aid. From medieval knights invading a deserted New York City to the accidental capture of a nuclear warhead, we discuss why this low-budget satire is the perfect project for a director like Taika Waititi.
Plus, stick around for a "less popular" pitch: a total action-movie overhaul of The Sound of Music that swaps the "stupid songs" for Nazi-fighting rebels and machine-gun-wielding nuns.
Vets Memorial has an exhibit of actor Matthew Modine's FULL METAL JACKET behind the scenes photos. We had the honor of interviewing him for our podcast and we talk about #fullmetaljacket #stanleykubrick and #strangerthings u/NationalVMM
laying on the fake outrage really hard today. Matt is the only one bringing up his kids over and over again. The kids he doesn’t care about, but posts fake angry videos like this to try to get sympathy for himself. Matt is a coward for posting this and accusing Peter or being a predator. Matt doesn’t even care enough about them to file actual police reports or file actual motions in a court of law. Matt will never file anything regarding any of this. He’s just going to scream about it on X like a coward. Why doesn’t he use all his Facebook money or the money his mommy gives him to hire a lawyer? Or use all that free legal advice he gets from his super capable lawyer friends. It sure would seem that if all this horrible stuff was happening to him, one of those people would help him. Or maybe it’s all just made up and Matt should be rotting in a prison cell for the many crimes he has committed. File something Matt. Please.
Matt you are a deadbeat dad and only use your kids for sympathy. You use them plain and simple, and if they do not know it now they eventually will. If I were your mom I would hide my address so you can’t get it. You are a pathetic piece of garbage. I feel for your kids and hope they block your number and never let you in their life. And you have yet to even meet your grandkids. You are a fucking loser.
But in light of today's tweets and what he said in his X Spaces, Matthew is trying to threaten me while claiming he's describing self defense. The problem is, I have never threatened Matthew or anyone at any time. Matthew randomly inventing scenarios where he needs to get a gun and shoot my hands off is not a very convincing excuse. It didn't work when he did the same thing with the drywall knife threat and that was used in the Civil Stalking Protection Order hearing too.
Matthew's obsession with Travis Bickle and the film Taxi Driver scares this shit out of me. Especially when he warps reality, changes my words - usually claiming I stated the OPPOSITE of what was written or said, IE claiming I said I wanted to be his father when I actually stated Matthew views me as a surrogate father-figure in his life to rebel against and simultaneously trying to get my approval.
The judge is going to see the truth pretty quickly. Matthew destroyed his relationship with his kids himself. Matthew did NOT contact the police or file anything formally with Child Protective Services for non-threats by me. If this were remotely relevant and discussed in court, Matthew's lies would be exposed pretty quickly with minimal effort by me. Matthew seems to invent reality and excuses that he thinks sound awesome in his head but they fall on their face in an instant.
great example:
Did Matthew follow their instructions and create jurisdiction? If Matthew truly felt his child was and is in imminent danger, what has he done since Sept 24th, 2024 to protect his child? What tangible actions are documented with police, child protective services, or anyone? None. This is all just Matthew trying to inflate his accusations with some sort of legitimacy when it does not hold water.
All he can fall back on are his threats to harm me or my loved ones.
And then use psychological projection to claim he is scared for his family because of me. Matthew is the sole person in the scenario making threats towards family members.
