[PREVIEW] Patreon Exclusive: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

[MUSIC] Welcome out to another special Petron only episode of It's All. I'm sure for this time we're talking one floor of the Cookers Nest. We've been talking about it, especially me ever since the great Louise Fletcher showed up on D-Face 9. Finally, we revisited this classic, it's still a classic, it's out there, go check it out. And then come back and listen to this. And if you've already seen it, you're right there. Thank you again, Petron, folks, for supporting us the way you do. And as a reward, you're going to listen. Let's talk about how great Louise Fletcher is, how great Jack Nicholson is, how great the 70s were. And this is one floor of the Cookers Nest on It's All, Ben Trekk before. >> Welcome out to another episode of It's All, Ben Trekk before another special bonus episode. Your regular hosts are here. >> This is Steven and Keith. >> And Livia James. >> We are here to talk the film One Flue Over the Cookers Nest, 1975 film, which was eight years before I was born. First impressions. >> Well, I had a lot before. >> And then the revelation of how young I am just three. >> It did, actually, I don't know why, I just didn't know. >> You were both born before this movie, right? >> When was this? >> I definitely was. >> 1975. >> Yeah, barely. >> Yeah, you say you were a little Keith, but Steven was already in college. >> I mean, I was a child prodigy, but yeah. >> So this is one I had meant to watch a long time ago. And I just kind of, the windows would have passed where I would be what have been interested in doing it and following through. And this just kind of stuck in my head as being something like, I don't know if I'd ever really be in the mood to watch this. I don't think I read the book, and just, I don't know. I think there's something about the idea of, you know, prison movies and asylum movies and things like that, where I was going to like, I would, I liked it a lot more than I thought it would. It was, there's something very smooth and modern about the feel that I didn't expect. I felt like I was going to be taken out of by the something, maybe it was remastered or something, maybe it was clean up or something, but it was nice and crisp and everything just something about the acting style just was very grounded and realistic without being. I mean, for people, you know, it's just, you know, they, I suppose the time period was even better for people being what it just like cast regular, real looking people, essentially. Well, so they, they filmed a Oregon State hospital and actual hospital and they actually used a lot of the people there as either extras or actually worked on the cast or worked on, not inmates right staff. Actually, some, some of the people that yeah, some, some of the 70s, they still let them use inmates. Patients, they let the, yeah, you're right, this patient's not inmates, but I mean, they never flood today. They got compensated too, but yeah, I, yeah, I think you get in a much trickier area, but yeah, a lot of them built sets and did all that kind of stuff very much in the background. It's interesting, you mentioned, you know, a couple of the other things I kept coming across as I read reviews and other things about it, Keith, but some people thought it was too, too clean. Like they wanted a murkier, a darker kind of asylum thing and I think some of them come from it also being based on it's a book that had a play that became a movie. And so I think the movie reflects a lot more of the play and Ken Kesey who wrote the book will also tell you it definitely reflects a lot less of what he thought it should. He wasn't as crazy, he, it wasn't what he wanted to see and I kind of get that, but yeah, but sorry to get in my for and also the acting was very middle of form and likes a lot of improv. Jack Nicholson likes to do a lot of improv and it's a hall of fame. Cast from, you know, both Louise Fletcher. Who we've talked about a lot, we're going to talk about a lot here, and Nicholson, one of Oscar's game to videos there. Yeah, I was, I didn't realize that's who that was until I saw that I just happened to catch the end credit and I was like, what? Yeah, I just didn't, didn't register at all, but that was the individual also slipped on my notice, he looks so different from, I mean, my, I know he wasn't gray when I first noticed him, but he was already bald and the, the frills of dark hair, you know, not. Yeah, so it was very different, but once I saw it with him, I was like, oh, yeah, of course. He and, and I would invite everyone listening to the sunny podcast that he's on the, he's on a couple episodes with the first one that was guys having a month, he tells the story of essentially he was doing one show either on Broadway or off Broadway. And it tanked, but again, it's one of the, it's one of those lava and kind of stories where it's like, yeah, but the director loved me in it. And then Milo's form and saw me in it or something and was like, hey, you should come check this out. And then all of a sudden, he's often, you know, he's often running.
