	6:02pm chresti: Hi Jim thumb show!
	👍 6:02pm Folsom: Jim, since you follow Fabio, you need to have him stay a little later to discuss sports movies.
	6:03pm Jim the Poet: Question of the Week: Do you like movies better when they are based on true stories?
	6:03pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Song: "Everyone's Gone to the Movies" by "Steely Dan" That's enough. Lets talk movies.
	6:04pm chresti: ↳ Jim the Poet @6:03 Sometimes
	👍 6:04pm Folsom: Amityville Horror is "based" on a true story.
	6:04pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Jim the Poet @6:03 yes, mostly
	👍 6:05pm zachary: Hey Jim the Poet! Hello listeners! The question of the week: Do you enjoy movies more if they are based on a true story?
	👍 6:06pm Folsom: Human Centipede is 100% medically accurate.
	6:06pm dale: making of fitz is interesting...jason robards and mick jagger cast first.
	6:06pm ironybread: "chungle"
	6:06pm common: both great films. too bad people got killed
	6:08pm dale: and claudia cardinale - me-OW.
	6:08pm wenzo: Herzog makes up some parts of his documentaries too from what I understand
	6:09pm wenzo: Lost in La Mancha?
	6:10pm modern blaze: damn, Burden of Dreams
	6:11pm tom tom the pipers son: in a scene in burden of dreams herzog describes the jungle not in terms on flora and fauna, but fornication
	6:11pm dale: chicken man was canadian, no?
	6:11pm Tom from Stirling: The King's Speech, that was a good one
	6:11pm modern blaze: wish you could tell a thing about X-Men the first from those times of trilogies
	6:11pm dale: dudley dooright was certainly can con.
	6:14pm DjLorraine: Based on a real flashlight?
	6:15pm modern blaze: after oddity goes Dracula 1992
	6:15pm common: john larroquette got paid with cocaine to do the opening monologue for texas chainsaw i read
	6:16pm Listener Robert: I doubt I would've gone to see The Mothman Prophecies had I not been friendly with John Keel. He was the one who told me the movie was coming out.
	6:18pm Listener Robert: I think it added a little something that Cocaine Bear was based on a real bear. I probably wouldn't've seen that either without that hook.
	👍 6:19pm zachary: ↳ common @6:15 And he did a hell of a job. Classic opening.
	👍 6:20pm zachary: No remakes. That's the worst genre of movie.
	6:20pm wenzo: I think that would be very hard to do well 😂
	6:21pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Millie Bobby Brown is a Brit. So is Beth actress from Yellowstone.
	6:22pm dale: 'prairie madness' - i LIKE It.
	6:22pm Tom from Stirling: Gary Oldman was good in True Romance.
	6:22pm chresti: They all moved to California
	6:22pm Listener Robert: I watched "Lost" because friend Damon Lindelof told me it was coming. I guess it adds a teeny-tiny bit of something that it was very indirectly based on the historic loss of Engine 115 in Lindal, England in 1892.
	6:23pm wenzo: Apparently the BBC did make a Monty Python biopic called “Holy Flying Circus” in 2011
	6:25pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Albuquerque is a cool city to live in, but the homicide rate is 150-200 people per 650,000. 38 per 100,000. Wyoming has about the same number of people with TEN homicides per year or 1.5 per 100,000. Why the difference? If anything, there are probably MORE guns in Wyoming.
	6:25pm Henry Hudson's Distant Relative: I highly recommend "Good One," a real-life kind of movie. Opens in NYC in a week or so. I saw it at ND/NF.
	6:25pm Listener Robert: I guess likewise it added a teensy-weensy something that "1941" was based mostly on the so-called Battle of Los Angeles, with some contribution of other historic events of that time.
	👍 6:26pm Folsom: I wonder if Jim liked the Weird Al movie?
	6:27pm wenzo: I thought David Bowie was great as Andy Warhol personally
	6:27pm Vanessa tries: …David Bowie playing Andy Warhol?
	6:27pm RustyinBaltimore: Confessions of a dangerous mind is a good movie for this prompt.
	6:27pm common: ↳ zachary @6:19 agreed!
	6:27pm Listener Robert: Mostly what these connections add is the ability to tell your friends, "Did you know, and could you believe, this was based on a true story?"
	6:28pm RustyinBaltimore: Claims to be true but obviously far flung. Great movie. Love Sam Rockwell in it.
	6:28pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Vanessa tries @6:27 Bowie also played Pontius Pilate.
	6:28pm wenzo: @ Vanessa Tries… yea in “Basquiat”
	👍 6:30pm Folsom: Wiki says Haley Bennet born in Fort Myers.
	6:30pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: The Weird Al movie on Roku was HILARIOUS. It was "Based on real life". It was hilarious that he shows Madonna and Michael Jackson copying his songs. Over the top. By the way, I hand out flyers advertising WFMU to strangers wtih cool band tshirts or Zildjian cymbals or whatever. Metal dudes. Some dude that looked like a young hippy, I gave him one also. Rose colored glasses, long hair dude with a paisley shirt. I assumed he would like FMU. I gave one to our friends daugher who is addicted to her phone. With her mom's permission of course.
	6:31pm Listener Robert: Then there are the movies based on ALLEGED historic events that nobody would give much veracity to. Like the way "Northman" was based on the story of Amleth from Saxo Grammaticus's history of Denmark.
	6:31pm modern blaze: woman works, works, works, works... symptom of Dracula 1992
	6:31pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: ""Widow Clicquot"" by "Jim the Poet discusses" I don't know about the movie; however, there are Champagnes out there that blow away Veuve Clicquot. Love the program, JtP.
	6:31pm wenzo: Where did you get the flyers wild Neil? Did you make them yourself?
	6:32pm Listener Robert: ↳ Listener Robert @6:31 It's about like the way you can say Hamlet is based on a true story -- the SAME sllegedly true story.
	6:33pm wenzo: That was a hardcore Bucci fan
	6:35pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: When Angelika opened people were shocked movie tickets were FIVE DOLLARS in 1989 or so. It was the first theater I ever saw that had a pastry shop in it. Mind-blowing at the time. Fountain Theatre (historic adobe theatre) shows old movies in Las Cruces and they used to sell food and wine and beer. Renzo, here is the flyer: WFMU.org freeform college radio Every type of music you can imagine Goth, punk, noise, metal, pop, old country, polka, speedmetal Melvins, Tom Jones, Chrome, Merl Haggard, Joy Division, New Order, King Crimson, Bruce Springsteen, 13th Floor Elevators, The Byrds, The Who, Voivod you name it, they got it. Go to WFMU.org and listen to one of two live streams or check out their archive. Also fun is put in a name of a band in the WMFU band browser and see the shows it appeared in. Why do I do this? Because WFMU is free and really truly amazing music available for free. On the app on your phone you can download 3 hour long shows if you want. All FREE FREEFORM radio. There is NOTHING ELSE like this out there, except for maybe some college radio stations. Shows (at least 40 or more) to check out:Garbage Time, Irwin, Dianes Kamikazee Fun Machine (metal), John Allen (kinda noisy) , Ken, Feelings with Michele with one L, etc etc etc. The archived shows go all the way back to 2000.
	6:35pm Henry Hudson's Distant Relative: ↳ Henry Hudson's Distant Relative @6:25 Not a "true story," not based on a historical figure or a celebrity, etc. A fictional movie about a father on a camping trip with his teenage daughter and his best friend. Extremely anxiety-provoking in an understated sort of way. Kind of like "Camping with Ken and Andy."
	6:36pm modern blaze: she is hot!
	👍 6:38pm zachary: I forgot to mention the Talking Heads classic, True Stories: en.wikipedia.org...
	6:39pm modern blaze: hay spundles or ray pugg or jay york, hee-hee
	6:40pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Waking Life (2000?) had some actual people playing themselves, including Alex Jones.
	6:41pm Tom from Stirling: Alien: Romulus opens soon in a theater near onw.
	6:41pm modern blaze: i wanna see based on true stories of a kind man: Fallout 2nd screenings of season two
	6:43pm Tom from Stirling: Jack Black was good in School of Rock
	6:43pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ wenzo @6:31 Wenzo-Its just text, made it myself.
	6:46pm modern blaze: please be advised! don't call Vault-TEK on a number given in trailer
	6:46pm haricots verts: Dennis Hopper’s ‘metafictional’ THE LAST MOVIE (1971) “ROAR!”🦁(1981/2015) = brilliantly misguided jaw-dropper. 👏 yes to Linklater’s ’BERNIE’ (2011) = excellent viewing experience! Docu-demented ‘Jodorowsky’s Dune’ (2014) = stellar!
	6:47pm Tom from Stirling: Is this Siskel and/or Ebert on the line?
	6:48pm Danne D: there needs to be a movie about Jim The Poet
	6:49pm Danne D: Jack Black is a scene stealer in Bob Roberts
	6:50pm Danne D: Roger Ebert pride of the University of Illinois
	6:50pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Song: ""Didi"" by "Jim the Poet discusses" Is this about the kid who wants to be a skate-boarder?
	6:50pm Danne D: Q: if the movie is bad enough will you start rooting against the characters?
	6:52pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Danne D @6:50 Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker, unlike his other movies, is nearly unwatchable. So is the Ghost Story where the dead guy is a ghost and he wears a bedsheet with a couple eyeholes in it. I quit after 45 minutes and was SO pissed off.
	6:53pm Danne D: Ilya Sorokin wrote The Social Network?
	6:53pm modern blaze: who? plays? Fallout: New Vegas?
	6:53pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @6:52 Yeah, that was shite.
	👍 6:54pm Folsom: ↳ Danne D @6:50 The Rocky and Bullwinkle movie was so bad I just walked out.
	6:55pm Danne D: yeah saw Rocky and Bullwinkle on my birthday. I will say that the actors at least seemed to have fun making that abomination.
	6:57pm Steve Del Sol: What?? Trump losing would be a full on modern day tragedy. Vote him down!! Now that's' entertainment!!
	6:57pm drew: And The Honeymooners was based on The Life of Riley.
	6:58pm ultradamno: I saw Fly Me To The Moon recently, from meet cute to happy ending (complete with cheesy "they're finally doing it" visual innuendo) it was much more of a flat-out rom-com than I expected
	6:59pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Do NOT go see the animated Fly Me to the Moon. PURE GARBAGE. Fly adults and maggot children. Really just low grade trash.
	7:00pm ultradamno: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @6:59 They look like alien The Chipmunks on the poster
	7:01pm ultradamno: external-content.duckduckgo.com...
	7:01pm Tom from Stirling: What's a Drexel?
	7:03pm modern blaze: basic! ghoul would never cut the finger! ghoul of midwest, dummy!
	👍 7:03pm zachary: Thanks Jim! Thanks listeners!
	👍 7:04pm zachary: And thanks callers!
	7:06pm chresti: Thanks Jim!
	7:06pm Tom from Stirling: Now that was a good movie to write home about.
