Aye Will, Tips from an audio engineer... your pop filter doesn't work when it's against the microphone, and you're swallowing it. It should be 3 inches from the mic, and you should be 3 inches from it. If you want to be right on the mic, use a dynamic mic. You're physically overloading the capsule, which will kill your mic if you keep doing it. A dynamic mic will reject way more ambient noise as well, which should help in your environment. Otherwise, for the love of all that is good, BACK AWAY FROM THE MIC
Criterion are incredible. One of my favourite companies ever. Most of my own RUclips channel is devoted to talking about Criterion movies. Keep up the great work :)
Just watched 'Mikey and Nicky.' This film was truly ahead of its time. Only the most cutting edge filmmakers today are even starting to unpack the issues raised by Elaine May in this movie. The writer/director of this masterpiece needs much better recognition of her pioneering contribution to the American independent film movement of the 70s.
There's an interesting debate that's related. Do you own the whole slice of Earth to the core under your property? Or can Chevron set up and frack underneath? Or a city build a subway underneath?
About 6 months ago I donated 8 boxes of books to the Friends of the Library. I'm proud to say that as I was dropping off the boxes I only retrieved 8 books which I just couldn't part with. Giving up books is so difficult.
Can you imagine if there were an earthquake in Adam's cave? How long from the time he crawls out of the giant mound of medieval artifacts and Star Wars projects to the time he refiles the last little washer?
Sitting on my DVD/Blu-ray shelf are the following Criterion Collection films: Gojira/Godzilla (1954), Jean-Luc Godard's Band of Outsiders, Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator, The Princess Bride, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Fritz Lang's M, Equinox, and Jackie Chan's Police Story I and II. I hope to add the recently announced Bruce Lee collection. I also need to pick up Lone Wolf and Cub sometime.
Kurosawa is great, but my favorite is Masaki Kobayashi. If you don't know him yet, check out his movie "Hara Kiri" on Criterion. It's my favorite classic Japanese flick. He plays with camera angles and movement in a super cool way, without being overly artsy and self indilgent. Its a stinging indictment of the way the powerful use ideas of honor and nationalism to manipulate the larger populace for their own selfish ends. He's super subversive. I dig him and think you will too.
Know a lawyer who bought a volume of casebooks for... a lot of money just months before they went online. He's only ever used as very expensive set decoration for client interviews and tv appearances
Interesting, several films have used my city (Glasgow) to represent scenes set in San Francisco. I guess both cities have lots of hills! Cloud Atlas is one example.
Different time zones it's probably like 12 ish for him because he's in San Francisco and I'm in Sacramento so were not to far apart and its 12:08 for me
Watch the movie "My Man Godfrey" from 1936 I believe. It a Criterion movie and it amazed me how the similar it is to today. The people out of work while the big city rich don't care about them unless they are making fun of them.. It's a good posative movie with the rich people being given a clue by the poor person.. It stars the same leading man as the Thin Man movies.. Right at the this moment we have people with no Jobs, Money and who are about to loose their houses and cars while we also have Rich Celebrities laughing at them online just becsue they want to work.
zooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom. No clue how it became so popular. Never heard of it, then the first I hear of it is that the security model is non existent.
Hi there, quite a while ago you were talking about maybe reading and discussing the Book series „Kingkiller Chronicles“ on the podcast. I would love to hear all your thought about those books. Also with the current Situation you should have some time and its a great Book to forget the World for a while. :) Since you'll probably not read every comment I decided to go for Cato the Elders Tactic (who ended all his speeches with „Ceterum censeo or Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam“ (English: "Furthermore, I consider that Carthage must be destroyed")) and adding „Furthermore, I consider you all should read the Kingkiller Chronicles and Discuss it on the Podcast“ to every post from now on. And I highly encourage everyone else to do so, too. ;)
Hey adam I know that you and Jamie can't really get along but if guys patched things we probably would see a revise of the mythbusters but doubt it would happen.
On antiques roadshow A NASA Connected family recently discovered a stainless steel air tunnel model of an Apollo era return capsule with the attached escape rocket tower which looks like a hot water heater with rocket nozzle cones under it connected to a ham radio tower mounted on top of the cone shaped return capsule. The appraiser said it could fetch $80k at auction and should be insured for $120k on antiques roadshow. I know your a mega fan of all things NASA. Just in case you want this piece of history. I wanted to make you aware of it! While your watching classic films Adam please dig up the bloody Sam Peckinpaw collection of films. Watch them all their 😉 amazing
@@erispe Agree to disagree :) , it's the same cameraman Ron Fricke, who in my opinion only kinda made a copy of the original concept, I also love baraka and samsara but they are both derivatives of the original concept as far as I know. but they are more refined Indeed, because of the newer technology I presume...
@corps diplomatique yes it is :) if you have watched the last season of stranger things they used Satyagraha act II Confrontation and Rescue, and that's actually an Opera from Philip Glass. the director of the qatsi trilogy Godfrey Reggio wanted the music for Koyaanisqatsi be based on that opera :) If you listen to the part I mentioned you will hear it immediatly :)
Little neighborhood libraries? It's a national organization! Plans, maps, actual library boxes (but of course you'd make your own): littlefreelibrary.org/
I think "Mickey and Nicky" has plenty of laughs - dark humor laughs, but laughs. "Hey, Ma, if anything happens to me, Mickey did it!" Wouldn't work as a play, because there are too many locations, and you'd lose that constantly-on-the-move feeling with too many scene changes. Why wouldn't you mention some of Elaine May's other great films, like the original "The Heartbreak Kid" with Charles Grodin (SO much better than the Ben Stiller re-make), or the fantastic "A New Leaf" with Walter Matthau? The discussion spoiled rotten Matthau has with his harried accountant, who is trying to explain to him that he no longer has any money, is priceless.
So how they were talking about aliens decoding are languages from one language. The alien equivalent of Adam savage I wonder it these interesting people joked about are discovery.
Please buy real books when I was in college I watched the library go from real books to everything put onto computers and just a tiny shelf of actual physical books left for reference..
Notorious for saying "we'll link it in the description below!" And it's never there.

That’s good to know
thanks for this.

Adam: "We moved the fiction section from downstairs to upstairs."
Me: "I chased a rat away from my Ramen noodles today."
The upload of this podcast is how I'm now measuring the passage of time.

When I think of movies set in SF, I immediately think of "The Rock" or Mrs Doubtfire.
Z-axis - my old boss used to say "we pay rent up to the ceiling".

Thank you for the quick look at your office in 2020, Adam!
If it's one good thing from this worldwide mess, it's that pandemic Adam Savage makes fantastic videos.
About 6 months ago I donated 8 boxes of books to the Friends of the Library. I'm proud to say that as I was dropping off the boxes I only retrieved 8 books which I just couldn't part with.

Eddie Brock lived in the attic of Peter's apartment above Christopher's Books. a couple of nice interior shots were included in the film.

Can u please do a show and tell on the head hanging from your ceiling from John Carpenter's The thing
adam i just watched meaning of life with old eyes. it is prop heavy and worth a look again.very surprising.
This show helps with the boredom of quarantine
My favourite channel
Another classic movie I love with San Francisco scenes is the Bogey and Bacall movie "Dark Passage".
Just Like Heaven is one of my favourite romance movies. I love the slightly supernatural fantasy rom com genre. See also Enchanted and The Lake House.
I remember the glory days when Google gave every engineer a Firesword. I love mine a lot.
Have you looked into the security issues of Zoom?
Couldn't make out all the movie names that were mentioned. Could someone make a list? At 19:23 it sounds like Adam is saying "Mancar Wisend".
Wong Kar-Wai _"In the Mood for Love"
www.imdb.com/title/tt0118694/
Thanks!

I don't think wounds are supposed to breath. That just dries them out and makes them take longer to heal.
Adam you should try DMSO for that finger ,it takes swelling down and helps reduce scaring ,helps healing in general .
I think the first place the Beatles played in the US was the Ed Sullivan Theater where Stephen Colbert's Late Night show is.
I'm sorry tech focused podcast using zoom currently after the security issues?
The audio coming from WIll has some *serious* popping. It's nigh unlistenable.
Nah you're just a wuss
I thought my headset had a wire loose. Drove me crazy.
he's using his pop filter wrong
My personal favorite movie set in SF is Star Trek 4: A Voyage Home
The Night of the Hunter.
Another San Fransisco movie is Sneakers, Robert Redford, Sydney Poitier, Dan Akroyd, River Phoenix, Mary McDonnel, Sir Ben Kingsley
Just watched it last night, so under rated.
If you need a great show to watch, the mini-series "Upright" with and mostly by, Tim Minchin is absolutely amazing.....
Lost Weekend Video on Valencia had a San Francisco movie section that was great.
Will! GREAT background! Looks like something from my own garden!
Studio Ghibli - Totoro wallpaper 😉

Two Criterion titles I love to recommend are La Haine & Rififi! Check em out!
La Haine is so good!
@@TheMaximilianwagner yessssssir
The Friends of Eddie Coyle is a fantastic film and a great adaptation!
"BH-Niner"?! Adam, you do have guilty pleasures.
So I Married an Axe Murderer is a great San Fran 'recent' movie
Hiii love the content
Children of Men! Fantastic film!
I was literally noticing the mad Science book that I also have) as the subject of bookcases came up.
Interesting, several films have used my city (Glasgow) to represent scenes set in San Francisco. I guess both cities have lots of hills! Cloud Atlas is one example.
Why post at 2:03?
Different time zones it's probably like 12 ish for him because he's in San Francisco and I'm in Sacramento so were not to far apart and its 12:08 for me
I thought it was time to sleep but I guess not
... I can't find bcredibility anywhere :-/
found it! twitter.com/BCredibility
One of my favorites is Foul Play
Adam, how are you NOT using one of Ghibli's backgrounds they made available for free???
Links in description?
How about "Children of Men" - current events make it x3 more powerful
The film that should had won Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay.
If Norm's astroboy is a external drive, that would be amazing.
Movies in SF (I think): Bullit, The Pursuit of Happyness, The Bridge :'(
Watch the movie "My Man Godfrey" from 1936 I believe.
It a Criterion movie and it amazed me how the similar it is to today.

8:20 The two titles I can see clearly are Mad Science and Aliens. You sure you didn't put any thought into that Adam? LOL.

Will picks good backgrounds. Is this one from The Secret of NIMH?
It's a "moomin" one i think
It's from Totoro, you can just make out the "Studio Ghibli" trademark in the lower right corner.
3am activities in New York Quarantine... still untitled: the Adam savage project. ;)
Please Adam savage make one more episode of myth busters. Please get the gang back together!

"Ehhhh that's still gross but it's better"
That's not gross. It's not pretty, but it's not gross. At least it stopped looking angry.
Movies in SF...Dirty Harry!! Gotta be “Dirty Harry”...”you’ve gotta ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do you, punk?”
If I may suggest a movie that changed my view on life, and may be intresting to talk about is Koyaanisqatsi :)
I liked Baraka more, it's like a more refined version. Samsara was a bit too weird for me though.
@@erispe Agree to disagree :) , it's the same cameraman Ron Fricke, who in my opinion only kinda made a copy of the original concept, I also love baraka and samsara but they are both derivatives of the original concept as far as I know. but they are more refined Indeed, because of the newer technology I presume...

The Bed-Sitting Room. Spike Milligan.

Adam can you please release a copy of the millennium falcon bible.
YES! I would love to see it!
Brian B. I want to build one that’s actually accurate

If you could see what I can hear
Bit of a swine not being able to Criterion in the UK.
Harold and Maude
Wrong Adam, it was his third film after TARGETS and Last Picture Show, and it's a completely lame effort from the xerox director.
ZOOOOOOOOOOMMM
