Did your comment work?

[@chunniecorn]

Wow totally did not know that she is the late Minnie Riperton's daughter! Love that she made a name for herself by her own talent and how down to earth she is. Love both her and her mother!

[@aidansinger9281]

I had no idea either! now it makes sense why Le Fleurs was playing during Maya Rudolph's scene in Inherent Vice.

[@1mancult]

[@atzrys]

Man, I wish I was married to PTA and have our children surrounded by Turner Classic movies in our household! Also, from Conan's classic line story, I now realise where those Breaking Bad episode titles came from!

[@Fuliginosus]

I love the idea of Maya pushing TV at her kids; so unlike most parents.

[@knaxor]

Well first it was books to get their minds off TV, now it's TV to get their minds off the internet, and later it'll be the Internet to keep their minds off of alternate reality or something.

[@RootbeerAndBeans]

+David Maxfield haha, Turner Classic Movies is like the shining light in the modern era of crappy TV programming that does nothing but distract and numb the senses. Older film reminds us of where we come from, the values of past and present, film as art, cultural representation, acts as a socio-political timeframe. It's a very good and loving act she is gifting to her children.

[@pvthitch]

My favorite line from an old Cagney movie: "What are you gonna do? Turn yellow and squeal?"

[@Allagi22]

My favorite classic old timey line is "Mr.....you aint got a leg to stand on" Because anyone can say "OH THAT IS BULLSHIT" but that line is not only classy, it is literally saying, you are so full of it, that you can't even support YOURSELF let alone your "argument". Bring back the old slang! It'd be the bees knees daddyo.

[@manlystump4240]

ahepperl How is that even old lingo? Not having a leg to stand on is still in common use today!

[@classicmovies2619]

Well can you tell me what movie this line is from? It would be a great help

[@salas7146]

Maya she's amazing actress.

[@Masaladas]

My old English teacher calls weed "Hippy Lettuce". I love that man.

[@spdadventurer1754]

[@juddhayes4072]

I love Maya Rudolph! Her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner is one of THE funniest things I've ever seen in my entire life.

[@trizzHHS]

In the jazz world people still do talk like this. It's actually super hip lol

[@andreimileti]

Sweet Smell of Success is really one of the greatest movies of all time

[@sin8800]

Wow, I just learned she's Minnie Riperton's daughter! She's very talented.

[@brendanlittle2498]

PTA and Maya Rudolph just loading film knowledge into their kids' brains like it's The Matrix

[@Sjekster]

I'll take the silly 50's talk over the "it's like, like, like" talk any day of the week

[@Sjekster]

***** I hope that's a funny like in your sentence, hahaha ;)

[@peanutbuttercup115]

Actually, a University of Texas study showed that people who spoke using fillers ("like", "you know", etc) do so because they are very conscientious and thoughtful, and want to make sure that what they say is accurate, while avoiding awkward silences during a conversation. It's noticed throughout MANY different languages. Or, you could just keep on assuming that anything connected to young people or women (or, more specifically, young women) is automatically stupid. You do you.

[@daneofurexistence]

That cut to Jimmy Vivino lol

[@RichardX1]

Meanwhile, La Bamba's just glad not to be the one they cut to for once...

[@D34N6232]

50's talk is good, but I would love it if everyone spoke old or middle English

[@HoneyMike]

D34N6232 Ren fairs are for you

[@beatlesarelove1]

D34N6232 that's funny because real old English is essentially German

[@BaileeWalsh]

That's so funny! My TV is literally on TCM whenever I have it on, unless I'm on Netflix / Hulu or using my blu-ray player.

[@zora99ny]

Breaking Bad had two episodes titles (1.2 and 1.3) which refer to "the cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river."

[@amrit44b]

andy always comes up with the best one line punches!!

[@IveGotToast]

Apparently Vince Gilligan was a fan of The Sweet Smell Of Success.

[@malvavisco10]

IveGotToast I was going to say! Yeah, "The Cat's in the Bag...." and "...and the Bag's in the River" are two Breaking Bad episode titles! Gilligan is a major film buff.

[@Bob27Fat]

Who isn't?

[@nikolap92]

Is she married to PTA?

[@youmeandi100]

Nikola Popovic Yes!

[@kwastimus]

Nikola Popovic I think they're in a civil partnership, not married.

[@mnchaos]

Konstantin K (what's the difference?)

[@kwastimus]

mn chaos A marriage is an official procedure, legal and / or religious which makes a couple "official". A civil partnership is when people are a couple and live together, but didn't go through any sort of marriage ceremony. It's a subtle difference.

[@mnchaos]

Konstantin K nice, thank you!

[@tombomb81]

For some reason in the uk if you turn on tcm at like 3AM conan is on (this conan not the barbarian)

[@ashleywindham5016]

He comes on at about 11:00ish on the Atlantic coast (at least I think so) in the us, so it'd be about the same time, just different time zones.

[@juliag.5114]

monkeybombsquad the only good tcm is the american one, i mean god knows that on tcm brazil they show everything, except classic movies! And I've heard a lot of complains about tcm uk also

[@tombomb81]

Júlia Guerra yeah conan is the only good thing on it

[@rukhsanazaidi629]

It's the first time I scrolled through the comment section and there's no vulgar comments. I'm impressed, good work boys:)

[@andrewroberts8139]

Excellent plugs for Turner Classic Movies

[@johnn.5033]

What's so funny about Conan calling that "classic speak" is that Sweet Smell of Success was about Burt Lancaster playing a big shot New York columnist (a la Walter Winchell) who exercised his huge influence over the entertainment industry by using excessive force and manipulation. Tony Curtis is playing a wise guy who uses "hip" language that supporting actors from the theatre like Cliffton Webb and Tony Randall would never have considered classic. It was the same junk, different era that we enable the "Cash Me Outside" to make money off of.

[@danmanjones]

man these guys... i could watch them shoot the shit for hours

[@NellieKAdaba]

I love 50s language.

[@mattd501]

Of course she's Minnie Rippertons daughter!!

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

That will definitely not get them bullied in school. Nu-uh. Nope. Kids _love_ a schoolmate who is different from them.

[@DrMcMoist]

Ghost81 That fear of yours is gonna seep down to your children no matter what you do, Ghost, and chances are it will affect them. If you really want to do your children a favour; deal with your own demons.

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

DrMcMoist Hm. Sounds like you're not up-to-date on bullying and child psychology, doc.

[@DrMcMoist]

Well then we have something in common.

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

DrMcMoist Nah, what I said is easily verifiable and has been true and observed for decades. You are just being contrarian.

[@DrMcMoist]

You think it's healthy for the long term mental health of a child if you tell them never to stand out, never to find their own way in the world because you worry that other children will bully them because of it? You were clearly bullied yourself, what made you stand out so much that you were targeted?

[@TheBigdaddyremi]

I still say dig, I know other people that say ya dig, ya dig?

[@PoppyDada27]

Ah! Love TCM! I miss Robert Osbourne. I'm so happy Maya's a fan.

IgotDis14 Not sure if you're reffering to all religions... Are you taking Islam seriously or not? Didn't get what you were talking about sorry...

[@vahnn0]

IgotDis14 They don't force them to watch, but she said it plays basically 24/7 in the one place everyone in the house has to go on a regular basis (not the bathroom). Those poor kids are being brainwashed into becoming some new breed of Super Hipsters!

[@madisongreen7975]

2:44 Connie?

[@goawaynow6395]

When she talks in her 50s voice she sounds like Connie from B.M. Like if you know what I mean

[@maybeimbiased]

I like how she's exposing them to a different era, ways of talking, and dressing, but what about the cigarettes? They are going to grow up thinking that smoking is cool, poor kids!
