Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:15

It's been down there for a while though, and I haven't fucked with it, and it's been just fine. So it's don't just don't even look at it. Yeah, like I'm afraid to even move it. It's like don't sneeze, don't look at it. I go down there and I'm like, if I ever have to fuck with anything down there, I'm like, I'm afraid to even touch it or move it because I'm like something's gonna fuck up with it. I know it will.

SPEAKER_03 0:32

One of these days you're gonna knock it to the floor. It's just you're gonna knock it to the floor, you're just gonna be like my heart's gonna fall out of my chest.

SPEAKER_02 0:39

Yeah, it's gonna sink in my stomach. Yeah, that's what's gonna happen. Uh man, Jesus. Uh, you guys watch anything new? Nothing, anything. What did we watch? New. Oh, we watched that uh um Good luck, have fun, don't die. That was a weird movie. Uh entertaining. Crystal didn't understand it, which I barely understood it. It was good though. It was entertaining.

SPEAKER_00 1:04

I watched uh Arnold Schwarzenegger Jackie Chan movie something like that. Oh, that one from like another cup country or yeah, something like Iron Mask or something like that. Yeah, something like that, yeah. That came out quite a few years ago, didn't you? Yeah. Whoa.

SPEAKER_02 1:21

I saw that advanced, mmm, I don't think I'll be watching that one.

SPEAKER_03 1:24

I watched a movie called Band of Brothers, it's like a modern retelling of Huckin' uh Tom Sawyer.

SPEAKER_07 1:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:31

And it's really fucking good. Should watch it. Told him to watch it. It was really good. It was funny. Seriously. There's like like they're it's called Band of Robbers. So instead of them being, you know, kids or whatever they're grown up, they like rob places, but they do it badly, and it's really fucking funny.

SPEAKER_02 1:49

Uh I don't we started watching that show on Netflix that just came out. Um uh something very bad is going to happen. Yeah, it's uh by the same people that the Duffer Brothers, I think it is, that did Stranger Things. Uh yeah, we're like four episodes in, and it's ext it's an extremely dark show. I mean, not like dark, like oh my god, scary dark, but I mean like it's it's filmed dark. Like everything in it, I'm like Crystal had like we have a one of those lights that you can change the color on in our bedroom. She had it tinted to red for you know, she's like, Oh, I want it red. I couldn't see any. I was like, you're gonna have to turn that fucking light off because I can't see anything on this TV. And like it is just darkly filmed, everything in the show. I hate that. I'm like, I don't I should have to squint to watch this show.

SPEAKER_03 2:37

Is that a face?

SPEAKER_02 2:38

But I'm intrigued with it because I'm like, where's this show going exactly? Like the first few episodes is like it's it's pretty wild. I don't want to give you anything away, but uh I I I would recommend so far checking it out just because of how ominous and creepy it is. But really, nothing horrific has really happened yet, which I think is even weirder because I've heard that the ending is pretty cra crazy. So I'm I'm interested to see how it all wraps together and everything. So it's it's pretty it's pretty pretty good so far. Um aside from that though, I don't think we've really watched anything. Um, I know stream seven just came out today on digital, and so did the new avatar came out on digital today.

SPEAKER_03 3:21

And you're gonna subject yourself to both. Yes, yes, I am.

SPEAKER_02 3:26

You're a glutton for punishment. I am, yes. Uh I've heard a few people tell me that stream seven is good, but I'm I I haven't even seen it yet, and I'm like, I disagree. I'm like, it's not gonna be good, but I'm gonna watch it anyway.

SPEAKER_03 3:39

There the people that have told me that it's good or the people that I see saying it's good, I'm like, I wouldn't trust you.

SPEAKER_02 3:47

Yeah, like my buddy Bob at work is like, oh, I really liked it. I was like, well, did you see the others? He's like, I haven't watched any of them since the first one. I was like, oh, you're missing out then, man. Like, you I don't even want to take he's like, I don't watch a lot of TV or movies. It's like I thought it was good though. Like, no, no, I don't I can't take you seriously.

SPEAKER_03 4:03

Yeah, like I'm I'm a movie snob, I've realized. Like, and and and like so, like, uh the the screen seven thing, I can't take it. I'm I'm I'm I'm so over it.

SPEAKER_01 4:14

Um yeah, well I'm so over it.

SPEAKER_03 4:16

I'm listening to all these people talk about it, and then I've seen these clips, and I'm like, AI, yeah, a fucking I. Are you kidding me?

SPEAKER_00 4:22

Anyway, um, I gave up after the third one.

SPEAKER_03 4:27

I watched the fourth one, that was the last one that Wes Craven did. Yeah, yeah, and that was that was good enough for me. He had a point for making a fourth one, and I was good to go with it. And after that, I'm done. Yeah, we watched the fifth one, and then that's where we dipped. Yep, I dipped out after that.

SPEAKER_02 4:42

I don't blame you. Yeah, the first four are great. Yeah, I love all four of them.

SPEAKER_03 4:48

After that, like the fourth is like the weakest, but it's I think it's supposed to be.

SPEAKER_02 4:51

The newer ones the newer ones, like the ones with the girls or whatever, those two. I didn't mind them. It was cool that they were trying to bring in a new crowd of people, but I felt like, man, like you're you're you're bringing in this new cast of people and you're kind of shoehorning them in, and you're using an old gimmick, which is the ghost face mask. Like, give us something a little different if you're gonna change it up like that.

SPEAKER_03 5:14

Well, then it wouldn't be scream. Exactly. So give us just a different fucking movie. Oh well, I agree, I agree. Let's stop with the the recycling. Uh, if you can't come up with the only good things that are coming out anymore is either like your independent A24, things like that. A24 so far has been really good. Um, you know, it used to be Blumhouse, but anymore they suck. Um, but like that's all the good stuff, and then you've got you know different video game movies that are coming out, and that's like the most original thing, but they're fucking video games, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:47

Yeah, like uh I know they just um they they got that trailer out now for the backrooms.

SPEAKER_03 5:52

Yeah, Jack showed it to me.

SPEAKER_02 5:54

Uh that doesn't look bad.

SPEAKER_03 5:54

I'll show you and it's A24, too, isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 5:57

Yeah, yeah. Um, and the original creator of the backrooms short uh is the one who's directing the movie. Right. So I'm like, that's awesome. I'm glad that they would give that guy that credit. Right. I mean he created it, you know. Right. I and then there's uh what other oh I shared that trailer with you guys today of the uh Cape Fear. Yeah, the Cape Fear. I don't know. Is that a series or is that a movie? Yeah, I thought it was a movie.

SPEAKER_00 6:22

I see it's all about new Masters of the Universe.

SPEAKER_02 6:24

Yeah, that's that's yeah, that's coming out. Um but like between that and the and the Man on Fire remake, I'm like, why are we doing this?

SPEAKER_08 6:32

Because Man on Fire was excited for Leto.

SPEAKER_02 6:37

I heard Skeletor.

SPEAKER_03 6:39

Yeah, I heard everybody hated it. Only because you're never gonna see his fucking face. Well, I heard everybody hated it. Like uh Alex sent me a clip of the voice or whatever, like him using the voice. I didn't think it was bad, but like there again, I'm not a huge he-man or whatever. I can give a fuck. I'm not a huge he-man.

SPEAKER_02 6:57

Honestly, dude, I'm gonna watch the movie and I'm not gonna watch it with any kind of bias. I don't give a shit. It's a TV show. What is Cape Fear? Kate Fears. Yeah, I thought so.

SPEAKER_03 7:06

Yeah, see, I don't I don't care. Like I was never a huge fan. Um, so yeah, neither was I.

SPEAKER_02 7:11

So I'm like, yeah, I'll watch it. You know, it'd be fun to watch with the kids.

SPEAKER_03 7:14

But I'll tell you what, like everybody loved, you know, the fucking Dark Knight and all that stuff, like the Dark Knight series and stuff. I hated Bane's voice, and nobody agreed with me then. Okay, well Tom Hardy is I fucking hated it. I hated it too. I fucking hated it. And everybody, oh it's so good. No, it's not.

SPEAKER_02 7:28

Yeah, like kind of like Batman's voice. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:40

Oh god, every time he would talk, it was like, say it, don't spray it, brother.

SPEAKER_02 7:44

I love it whenever people parody it. Like Pete uh Pete Holmes. He's so good. I love it when he parodies that shit. That's college humor, right?

SPEAKER_03 7:51

Oh god, I love that shit. I love it.

SPEAKER_01 7:54

SPEAKER_03 9:34

No, we've we've not monotonized because as soon as we do that, it's like we can't say retard anymore.

SPEAKER_00 9:41

Yeah, watch your language, watch what you said.

SPEAKER_02 9:44

But I was told that retard's coming back. Is it? I'm gonna hold them to that. I like that word. What? Stop being a fucking retard.

SPEAKER_03 9:55

My mom used to smack us for that word. Really? My mom didn't care.

SPEAKER_02 9:59

She hated when we said that sucks.

SPEAKER_03 10:01

Don't say that. See, mom, my mom never cared about like every mom I knew. Like if I was at Jessica's house and I'm like, oh, that sucks, and she'd be like, What'd I do? Yeah, you know, but like at my house, if you said retard, you got smacked. But if I said that that sucks, my mom would be like, I know. Yeah, I know. Like I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 10:19

Whatever. It was either it was retard or goddamn it. Those two got you smacked in the house.

SPEAKER_03 10:24

Well, yeah, yeah, you don't say cuss. Damn it, that's a cuss word. No, we weren't allowed to cuss at all.

SPEAKER_00 10:29

Yeah, so like I don't know why he's harping on that one word.

SPEAKER_02 10:33

Well, she was just very big on it's funny because I would sit here and let Madison say Jesus Christ all the time. But then if the if the guy the boys were like, bruh, like no, I will fuck you up, don't say it again.

SPEAKER_00 10:42

Because some of them are really annoying. Yeah, or yeah, even saying Jesus Christ got you smacked.

SPEAKER_02 10:49

Yeah. If you took it in mom said that's like Madison's favorite thing to say, Jesus Christ. Like Madison, you know that's a bad word. It is, yeah. Yes. When used in that way, yeah. Yeah, it's a bad word.

SPEAKER_03 11:04

Anyway, that's it's all about context, you know?

SPEAKER_02 11:07

It is talking about Jesus Christ, you know. I love Jesus Christ. But if you're like, Jesus Christ, that dude is awesome. How do you take that?

SPEAKER_03 11:17

I don't know, actually.

SPEAKER_02 11:18

Because are you talking about Jesus Christ or are you talking about somebody else who and you're saying Well, if the person can't be seen, then I think you're talking about Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_03 11:27

But if some dude's on a skateboard, I'm gonna go with the guy that's on the skateboard.

SPEAKER_02 11:30

Okay, yeah. That I think is Jesus Christ on a skateboard.

SPEAKER_03 11:33

Uh, French puppy, of course. Some of them books and then funny that it's called the French bitch. And it was actually about a French dog or a French bulldog or something, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05 16:17

Like a French poodle.

There you go. Gene Wilder. What's your guys' favorite? Blazing saddles.

SPEAKER_00 17:52

Yep. That's what I was going with.

SPEAKER_02 17:54

Uh Willy Wonku. I'm going with Willy Won.

SPEAKER_00 17:57

Uh he's he's blind. See New Evil, Here New Evil.

SPEAKER_03 18:03

We talked about that. There's not enough, there's not enough physical comedy in that for me. It's funny, but like for a movie about a blind and a deaf guy, I feel like there should be a lot more, like physical comedy. Yeah, like to me, the funniest part is especially whenever you have Gene Wilder in there. Yeah, like to me, the funniest part is when he's getting interrogated and he's like, you know, is was there or wasn't there a woman? And Gene Wilder's like, Are you serious? Fuzzy Wuzzy was a woman. It gets me every time.

SPEAKER_02 18:34

Um, but yeah, I don't that's it's good, but I'm going, yeah, I'm definitely going. He was he was my Willy Wonka, so that's I think it was great. It was a great movie. Willy Wonka would be like number three for me. Well, I just love I that movie I have fond memories of from when I was a kid. Yeah. I love that movie. Even the the scene through the tunnel, I know it's supposed to be creepier and everything, but I I love the whole movie.

SPEAKER_03 18:56

I just to me it was always about the very, very first scene when you see Willy Wonka and he comes out with the cane cane. That was his that was his idea. I know. And and and he walks out, and he was they were trying to come up with a way to convey that he's not like if you look if you're trying to find truth when Willy Wonka, it's not on the surface. Yeah. And they were trying to convey that because in the book it's very, you know, well written, so you can pick up on that. Yeah. But it's hard to change from media to media.

SPEAKER_02 19:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:25

And that that was the first indicator that yes, the first indication that you get that Willie's not quite, you know.

SPEAKER_02 19:31

Oh, what he seems, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:32

Yeah, it's that he, you know, he comes out, he's like crippled, and then he does a somersault. So yeah. Good idea.

SPEAKER_02 19:39

I like that. Anyway, that's Gene Wilder, everybody.

SPEAKER_03 19:42

Fantastic man. Yep. Alright. Let's talk about the movie. I love all the tropes. Like the this this is the thing that drives me insane. Are we gonna Oh yeah, we gotta talk about more for that? See, I told you I I don't remember what I do around here. I should probably get my shit up, huh? Yeah, you should probably pull up your shit. I probably should. I told you I don't remember what I do around here. What do I do around here?

SPEAKER_02 20:10

Uh we watched Young Frankenstein from 1976? Is it 76? No, I'm working on it. 74. 74? You think?

SPEAKER_00 20:26

75. Well between you two. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 20:30

Uh looking up here. 74. 74? Okay. Good guess.

SPEAKER_03 20:38

I wasn't I wasn't guessing I found it. No, I know him. Oh. I didn't hear you. I didn't hear you. Sorry. Uh currently, or sorry, go ahead. You don't uh a young neurosurgeon inherits the castle of his grandfather, the famous Dr. Vic Victor von Frankenstein. In the castle, he finds a funny hunchback, a pretty lab assistant, and the elderly housekeeper. Young Frankenstein believes that the work of his grandfather was delusional, but when he discovers the book where the mad doctor describes his reanimation experiment, he suddenly changes his mind. So Gene Wilder is Dr. Frankenstein, uh Peter Boyle is the monster, Marty Feldman as Igor, Madeline Kahn as Elizabeth, Cloris Leitchman as Frau Bruch, and Terry Gar as Inga. That's as far as I'm going.

SPEAKER_02 21:26

Uh movie currently sits at uh from critics, 95%, certified fresh. So uh critics consensus is made with obvious affection for the original. Young Frankenstein is a uh riotous riotously silly spoof featuring a fantastic performance by Gene Wilder.

SPEAKER_04 21:51

So there you have it.

SPEAKER_02 21:52

Uh so um I would have I I wouldn't have gone a day with that blonde lady around me before. Before I banged her too. Just uh putting that out. Yeah. Yeah. Terry Garr was beautiful. Yeah, yeah. I was like, dude, I don't know how you have the willpower.

SPEAKER_00 22:08

And she's like throwing it out there. Yeah. Like talks.

SPEAKER_02 22:11

Yeah, I'm like, I don't know how you have the willpower, dude. I'd be all over that. Like instantly. It took a little bit more. Yeah, he finally did, but I was just like, dude. And then and then at the end, whenever uh with the the fiance, and she turns into the bride essentially, and fucking Frankenstein's or the monster's got like he's like all you know articulate now and everything. So I was just like, what the fuck? It's been a long, long time since I've seen this movie. I don't I think I've only seen it once and I was like a kid, maybe, if I've even seen it at all. Because I don't remember anything from this.

SPEAKER_00 22:44

My first time watching it all the way through.

SPEAKER_02 22:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:46

What? Oh, dude, I'm I know I know I've seen bits really, but I don't remember I've never seen the whole movie. I love the whole movie. Like, I've seen this movie probably, I don't know, three or four times actually. Um, my favorite bit is what used to be the one like the part where he goes in and he's like, I don't care what I say or what I do, you know, don't open this door.

SPEAKER_05 23:08

And then he shut the door and he's like, Let me out! Are you kidding me? You know, but are you insane?

SPEAKER_03 23:14

Let me out.

SPEAKER_05 23:16

But I think my favorite now is actually when he's um when he's on the monster and it doesn't work, and he's like, you know, we must take take this with quiet dignity and grace. What are you doing to me?

SPEAKER_03 23:35

Yeah, nobody can do that like Gene Wilder, man.

SPEAKER_02 23:38

Like Gene, Gene Wilder is definitely the best part of this whole movie. I don't get me wrong, the monster is Igor. I Gorgon, I Gore, I Gor is absolutely the best part. Igor is awesome. He is absolutely the best part. He is the best part. You're right. Abnismore Abby something normal. Abby Normal. You're telling me to put an abnormal brain.

SPEAKER_05 24:02

Walk this way.

SPEAKER_03 24:05

And then he does it for like three steps.

SPEAKER_02 24:07

I take that back. He is the best part.

SPEAKER_03 24:09

Igor, 100%. And then the hump keeps moving, and then like whenever somebody brings that up, he's like, What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_02 24:14

They leave, and then he's like, He's always breaking the fourth wall.

SPEAKER_03 24:20

Damn your crazy eyes. Too late.

SPEAKER_02 24:25

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. This movie has a lot of comedy, it's got some seriousness to it at certain points too, but nothing like where it explains horror or like drama or anything like that. Definitely not.

SPEAKER_05 24:38

It's awful. And he goes to the blind guy's house. He pours that soup like in his lap.

SPEAKER_01 24:44

And I was watching that, I'm like, is that Gene Hackman? Oh, yeah. I was like, that is that can't be a young Gene Hackman. No, it was. Holy shit, it didn't.

SPEAKER_03 24:53

He did he just did it because he wanted to. And most of what he says and does in there was ad lip by him. Yeah, it was fucking hilarious.

SPEAKER_00 25:04

Yeah, he lights his tongue on fire, and he's like, Oh, yeah, he comes out when he gets up and just leaves.

SPEAKER_05 25:14

Yeah, right. He's like, I was gonna I was gonna make what?

SPEAKER_02 25:17

What was it?

SPEAKER_05 25:20

I was gonna make fun do.

SPEAKER_02 25:23

Oh, that's what it was. No, no, no. He was gonna make espresso. Espresso. He's like, hold on, I was gonna make espresso. Espresso? What the fuck?

SPEAKER_05 25:33

No, and then like the little girl. And they're like freaking out. They go upstairs and she flies.

SPEAKER_03 25:45

She kind of hit her head hard. She probably did, yeah. Dude, I the they don't make parodies like this anymore. Like it's always about the dick and fart jokes, or like it's very vulgar stuff.

SPEAKER_00 26:03

It's not a good thing.

SPEAKER_02 26:04

Yeah, you don't like but don't get me wrong, there's like you always say there's a lot of things. There is a place for it.

SPEAKER_03 26:08

But I I do genuinely miss the innocent spoof comedies. Not just innocent, like when when your parents would watch something with you, right? Yeah. And they liked it, but you also liked it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:22

Because there was like innocent while being humorous. Vacation movies.

SPEAKER_03 26:26

The vacation movies are a great uh you know naked gun. Naked gun.

SPEAKER_01 26:30

Those are good ones because there's not a bunch of digging fart jokes.

SPEAKER_08 26:33

The Val Kumer movies.

SPEAKER_03 26:35

Oh, uh Top Secret.

SPEAKER_08 26:36

Top Secret.

SPEAKER_03 26:37

Yeah, that was another good one. Yeah, you like you that kind of stuff, like that's the stuff that I mean, like I miss because I can't think of any, you know, like when that new vacation movie came out, I was excited. Gage had seen it. And that turned into like a bunch of yeah, we had seen every single one, Gage and I. And then when that came out, that was like our thing. We sat down, we watched it, and even Gage was like, This is shit.

SPEAKER_02 26:58

It was dumb, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 26:59

I'm like, I know.

SPEAKER_02 27:00

I mean, it was I wouldn't say it was it was funny, but it was funny in a different way.

SPEAKER_03 27:04

It could have had another name, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:05

It could have been any other it wasn't it wasn't a vacation movie, no, not at all. Yeah, I get what you're saying.

SPEAKER_03 27:11

Um, it was like it was like if you took uh the hangover and and put people's names from the vacation movie.

SPEAKER_02 27:17

Like, really, that's they did, they called it bridesmaids.

SPEAKER_03 27:21

Dude, that movie is fucking funny, though. Dude, I laugh every time when she's talking about doing laundry.

SPEAKER_02 27:27

Yeah, that shit was fun, though. That shit was very funny. She's like taking a shit in the fucking sink.

SPEAKER_03 27:32

Look away, look away, whatever it was. No, yeah, yeah. She's like taking a shit in the street, shitting in a wedding dress. No, I love the one the one lady who had like nothing but boys in her house, and she's like, every time I do laundry, every single time I find a blanket and I go to wash it, cracks in half.

SPEAKER_02 27:53

Uh so anyway, um, yeah, I I I don't really have much to say about this movie because there's not a lot to be said. Yeah, there's nothing.

SPEAKER_03 28:00

No, there really isn't. Um I'd say that the the biggest thing for me is that I really just kind of weep for this kind of cinema. Yeah, I miss when you could watch stuff like this.

SPEAKER_02 28:14

The age of of uh age of innocence. No, not innocence, the age of Aquarius? Um, no, what the fuck is the goddamn director? I forget his fucking name. I miss that age of his movies.

SPEAKER_03 28:28

Well, I'm scared, I'm scared for this the Spaceballs one. I'm not I mean I love that. I love the trailer. The trailer was, you know, the trailer had me.

SPEAKER_02 28:36

I was like, uh maybe this might not be bad.

SPEAKER_00 28:39

Yeah, but the last uh what was it? World or World Party. Oh, History of the World Part 2. Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_03 28:44

I think I felt so excited. He did. He felt I watched it all, I wasn't impressed. He fell asleep.

SPEAKER_00 28:50

Yeah, I was so excited for it because Mel Brooks, you know, he did the first one.

SPEAKER_02 28:54

Isn't he like 99 now or some shit?

SPEAKER_00 28:57

He's like 90 something. Yeah, he's old. So I'm hoping.

SPEAKER_03 29:01

I just I don't have high hopes though. I mean, it's just like the Beetlejuice movie.

SPEAKER_02 29:05

I was excited about he's not a dick and fork kind of guy. Oh no 99, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 29:12

Yeah, no, I guess in my mind, if anybody can do it, it might be him. Because he does have that um artistic flair. Does that make sense? You know what I'm saying? Like like he wouldn't want to um he wouldn't want to shame such a a legacy.

SPEAKER_02 29:28

Yeah, you know what I mean? Exactly, exactly. And I think that with what could happen, might not be bad, but I don't know, man. In this day and age, it's hard not to think that it's gonna be tainted in some way. I agree.

SPEAKER_03 29:43

So I mean, it's just it's you know, it's like a lot of people just don't quite get the um the background stuff, right? Because that's what made these movies, a lot of them. Look at space balls, 100%. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_02 29:56

I mean, you know, like you can watch Alien or all these other space movies, you had no fucking idea.

SPEAKER_03 30:01

Right. But you know, like, but the great thing about the Mel Brooks movies, though, like in like Spaceballs, for example, I'd never seen the core material. I had never seen Star Wars. But it was still funny. Yeah, it was still funny. I still got it, I still understood the references. Like, we don't have that anymore. It's like, you know, to watch some parody movies now, you're like, ah no, wait, hold on, you gotta watch Scream before you really try to watch Scream Movie because you're not gonna get a lot of the references, yeah. You know, but like back in the day you could watch a parody movie and you didn't have to watch the core material because they were gonna throw enough of their original jokes at you. The Schwartz, yeah. Yeah, I mean, you know, or like you know, like in the house too, everyone searched for more money every time they say her name and the fucking horses would whinny. Yeah, you know, or like I love nice knockers, like just and and nobody nobody goes back and is like, ah no, I mean they just nice knockers and they move on, you know? Or like, oh my favor you know what I take it back out of all the scenes, my favorite scene is the darts scene.

SPEAKER_02 31:10

Oh yeah, it's the darts, they walk out and all the tires are flat.

SPEAKER_05 31:15

He's even got a couple of and there's like twice when he like throws it, and then all you hear is you know, it's so subtle.

SPEAKER_02 31:24

He like turns around, he's like sticking all the things. Oh, that was the other guy, the the inspector Kemp. That dude was fucking hilarious, dude. Yeah, I love that guy. He his his comedy with the arm and everything was great.

SPEAKER_03 31:35

Did you notice this the first time I ever noticed it? I pointed it out to him. I've seen this movie two or three times, but the first time you meet Kemp, he goes like and he makes a whole deal of doing this and then lighting a cigarette, and then he throws the cigarette, and I was like, why would he throw it? He just lit it and then it comes back from the opposite side.

SPEAKER_05 31:58

He throws it and then comes back this way.

SPEAKER_02 32:00

I threw it all the way around the world.

SPEAKER_03 32:02

Chinese man smoked this. Dude, I'm I'm they don't make them like this anymore. I wish they would.

SPEAKER_02 32:10

It's probably yeah, yeah. They don't make they they definitely don't make them like this anymore. And it's you know, you change of times, which call us old, and you know, one day our kids will be saying the same thing about their movies, about their movies, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 32:23

Yeah, but I feel like it's really like okay, uh again, at the risk of sounding old, it's like idiocracy.

SPEAKER_06 32:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 32:30

Like, all I can think about is in 20 years, there's gonna be a show called Owl My Balls, and every it's gonna be the number one show on TV. Yeah, it's called Jackass. Yeah, but it's gone now. And we now they're making another movie. Yeah, they're making a one final movie. Yeah, but nobody's gonna watch it. I will. You'd fucking.

SPEAKER_00 32:51

I'm definitely gonna watch it. Kendra's growing up. I've seen every one of them.

SPEAKER_03 32:53

Why wouldn't I watch this one? I will say it started with us, though. Yeah, to be quite honest. I mean, it's we were in high school. I mean, well, no, I mean, like in general, you know, we had like the Beavis and Butthead, we had you know South Park, like all that shit really did start with our generation, so I'll take some blame for it. I'm just saying that like it seems like that is the core of it now, rather than oh, like I'm gonna watch Jackass because I am doing nothing right now.

SPEAKER_00 33:19

Yeah, instead of you know Kendra's grandfather, he loves stuff like Beavis Abbett.

SPEAKER_02 33:24

He loves Jesus. Yeah, well, that's no different than us loving like the new scary movie coming out or some of the new material that does come out. There are some bangers that have come out recently, yeah. Just not very many of them. Yeah, so it's okay to like some new stuff, but like you just feel like the old stuff is where it was at. Like the 90s was prime, dude, for like just all kinds of good content in the 80s. 80s and 90s, you can't go wrong with early 2000s, too.

SPEAKER_03 33:51

I would like to.

SPEAKER_02 33:51

Even some of the early 2000s, yeah. Like some of the stuff that was coming around out in that time period. I think that I honestly, honestly, and I I hate the 90s, but the movies that were released in the 90s, you that's the best era of of cinema right there. The 90s was to me. Because think of all the bangers we got in the 90s, even some of the ones that you may not like billions of dollars.

SPEAKER_03 34:15

I will argue until I'm blue in the face that I think the 90s was prime for thrillers.

SPEAKER_02 34:20

Yeah, yes, thrillers especially. Seven, uh, along came a spider, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 34:25

Kiss the girl, kiss the girls eighties through nineties was like prime for cinema, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_02 34:30

Yeah, 80s and 90s are the were the prime time for cinema. Comedies were at peak, fucking Jim Carrey movies. Uh, even like even in the 90s or 80s into the 90s, you had the fucking golden boys like uh Adam Sandler, John Candy, uh Rick Moranis. I mean, look at all those guys that were coming out around Steve Martin, Martin Short. All these guys were making movies in that time period, and they were fucking hits. Now, like, what do we got now? Ooh, Will Farrell, he yells all the time. Good for him. Or fucking who else is out there now that I just I fucking Seth Rogan and his stoner comedy. Like, it's not it's not funny. I don't think those guys really make stuff much anymore. They don't know. He produces everything because he got rich off of being a pothead. So, I mean, you know, just shit like that. I'm like, dude, like you're not funny. Some of these newer guys coming out, they're not funny. And some of the good funny guys aren't even doing it. Like Bill Hader. I wish he was still making why aren't you still making movies? You're not as funny as shit.

SPEAKER_00 35:28

Yeah, you're funny as fuck. So about the biggest names you got now is Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, another one.

SPEAKER_02 35:34

Another one that I'm like, he's outdone, he's overrated. It's the same thing. He plays the same guy in every fucking movie. Yeah. Same guy in every movie.

SPEAKER_03 35:42

There was a time when Ryan Reynolds was amazing.

SPEAKER_02 35:46

Yeah, before Deadpool.

SPEAKER_03 35:48

Yeah. Yeah.

unknown 35:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:49

Before Deadpool. When he did the Animeville, that really showed his Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:54

I went to theaters to see that because I was like, no way, Van Wilder's gonna do a scary movie. And then I watched it and I was like, fucking wow.

SPEAKER_02 36:00

But whenever you hit a banger like he did with Deadpool, he stopped having to try. Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 36:05

So same as like like Buried. And it is literally just Ryan Reynolds in a box for two hours.

SPEAKER_07 36:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 36:15

I will never watch it again. But it is I will tell everybody and their grandmother to watch it.

SPEAKER_02 36:22

Yeah. Because I mean, look, I mean, I I hate to sound like a broken record, but these people that are coming out now, I mean, you could name if you gave me five recent comedic actors, I could probably tell you why they're all bad right now. Like if you told if you gave them to me, I'm like, well, they're bad for this reason because they're the same, they play the same character, or you know, they're they have no acting chops or whatever reason.

SPEAKER_03 36:46

Well, it's like Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp started to suck when he did the same thing, when he just was playing the same fucking thing every time.

SPEAKER_02 36:53

Yeah, he was pretty much playing the uh the drunk pirate. He he got big off of that, so he didn't have to try anymore. He's he made millions of dollars off of them fucking movies, right? So I think that that was I mean, that's and that's the issue is franchising kills people, it kills their careers. Look at Robert Downey Jr. What the fuck has he done since Iron Man?

SPEAKER_00 37:13

Fair point. Oh no, he's gonna be Doctor Doom.

SPEAKER_02 37:16

Now he's playing, yeah. Now they're bringing him back to play Doctor Doom. Like, dude didn't make enough money off of that shit. Like you're bringing him back to the D- Oh, I agree.

SPEAKER_03 37:23

At some point in time, it's like they find this comfortable niche and then they just don't have to do, they don't work about, you know, they don't have to work for it anymore. Um, it it seems like the guys, like you were saying with John Candy and Martin Short, all them, they did their entire careers without that niche. Yeah, they did their entire careers continuing. You know, look at look at Steve Martin or Martin Short. They're still going. Yeah, and they're still making great content. I mean, that I guess I guess maybe it's a work ethic thing. Maybe it's it could, I think it is.

SPEAKER_02 37:53

I think it has a lot to do with it because I mean, like, look at uh Hugh Jackman is a great example. Yeah, Hugh Jackman could have just sat on Wolverine and played him till he died and just banked off of that role because he's everybody's Wolverine. He really is. You know, he's as infamous for being Wolverine as Ryan Reynolds is for Deadpool. Yeah. But Hugh Jackman didn't forget that he is a fucking classically trained great actor. Does a lot of Broadway stuff he does a lot of Broadway stuff, he can sing, he's done all these other fantastic movies while still being Wolverine. He did the greatest showman, a musical about you know the the circus and all that shit. Like he's done all kinds of stuff, and and but movie 43.

SPEAKER_03 38:33

Yeah, yeah, I don't care. That movie is fucking funny. I think the same thing.

SPEAKER_02 38:38

I think it's fucking funny. God, my favorite is all be ashamed for being in it, but I'm not ashamed for watching it.

SPEAKER_03 38:43

No, not absolutely no. I loved loved the homeschooling one, yeah. And the basketball one. The basketball one's my favorite. I love it. Yeah, I love them all.

SPEAKER_02 38:50

So uh, but you know, and and that's where I think that just movies and and actors are falling off. And no, you I think you're on to something with the with the they get too comfortable. Some of them still have some pride and they're like, you know, I you know, like what happened to movie theaters? Yeah, and we found ourselves going back to the theater a little bit more here recently. Um, just getting out of the house and things, you know. Uh, because uh what's coming out? There's a few movies coming out here soon that I want to go to the theater and watch. I'm probably gonna take the kids to go watch that new Mario Brothers movie because I love the Mario Brothers stuff. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go watch the new Mortal Kombat in theaters. There's a few movies coming out that I want to go see in theaters. I think we're planning on taking kids next week and so you know, just shit like that. And I think that it's great to be able to get back into the theater. I don't know if it's my age talking to me and that's why I want to get back into it, or if it's or if movie theaters are genuinely coming back. So I I don't know though. I know that streaming services kind of suck anymore. Um they're putting out some decent content, but if it's a streaming movie, then I'm like, eh, you know the quality's not there, you know.

SPEAKER_03 39:53

I don't know. Some of them I've seen have been pretty decent, but I mean they're all of them are okay, but I don't know. I I'm pretty particular about what I watch anymore.

SPEAKER_02 40:02

Right. Uh but anyway, let's you guys are you guys talk about everything? Yeah, we're good on this. I guess we'll go ahead and rate it, you know.

SPEAKER_04 40:13

Let's rug that's bench.

SPEAKER_02 40:20

Alright. So Jeremiah, what do you think of young Frankenstein?

SPEAKER_08 40:26

Oh, I love it. Uh I'd go probably a non to lapse a minute. I mean, I was lapping the entire time. You know, I grew up watching it, I've seen it probably five times or so. But yeah. I mean, if you see it, you know.

SPEAKER_04 40:45

Right, right, right.

SPEAKER_08 40:46

I mean, I I honestly probably couldn't find one bad thing. Really. I mean, it was all good for me.

SPEAKER_02 40:55

Yeah, uh, so this isn't my favorite from uh uh fucking goddamn it for Mel Brooks. Yeah, that's what I said. Mel Brooks. Gene Brooks. Gene Wilder, yeah, whatever. Yeah, Mel Brooks. Uh, this isn't my favorite of his. Um, but I do I do enjoy, I did enjoy this movie, and um, but this is by far not my favorite of Mel Brooks. Or Gene Wilder for that matter. Um, it is an entertaining movie, uh but it's not entertaining all the way through for me. Uh there's some parts where I'm like, eh. But it does have a lot of good laughs and giggles in it. So I think for me, I'm gonna give I'm gonna give it a seven and a half. Um, it is still a funny movie, and it's a classic, and uh there's a lot of quotable lines in this fucking movie that you just can't help but not say. So uh yeah, I'm gonna seven and a half.

SPEAKER_03 41:50

Okay. Um I love this movie probably more than everybody at this table. I've seen it a lot. I love the fact that they um used the original Frankenstein um equipment and set pieces. I love that they fought to film it in black and white, even though at the time, you know, everybody was pushing for color. Um I think black and white uh helps the movie. Absolutely. It absolutely does. Um what they do right in this movie, I feel like, is is a lot of the background stuff, the subtle uh humor that they throw out there is is by far way better than anything nowadays. Um I feel like that's probably one of the biggest things that we miss um in the newer parody stuff is you don't get a lot of like this has tropes, you know, the same thing happens whenever something else happens. Or like well, I guess tropes isn't the right word, is like repeatability or whatever. Repeatability in the jokes is that you know, like every time they say Frau's name, the horse is winny. You know, every time um that officer Kemp is on screen, there's something that happens with his arm, you know, or like uh Frankenstein, uh Dr. Frankenstein with his um, you know, callbacks. Yeah, the callbacks. There we go. Thought yeah, and they don't do a lot of that nowadays, I don't notice. Um and then, you know, there's there's in a lot of movies anyways.

SPEAKER_02 43:24

And there's a lot of movies we did we did notice that in one movie recently, remember? I can't remember what movie it was, but there was a callback that kept coming back.

SPEAKER_03 43:32

And I know what you're talking about, but I don't know if that's hard.

SPEAKER_02 43:35

It was uh it wasn't a new naked gun, was it?

SPEAKER_03 43:40

No, I don't I don't think well it might have been, but I don't think I feel like it was something we watched though for the show?

SPEAKER_02 43:46

Mm-hmm. It might have been because I remember something we were talking about, and we kept saying, Well, uh thank god they were doing this. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 43:54

So um, but I feel like that's what you're missing, is you and you're missing these background jokes, things that are happening in the background. That you know, like if like you know, when they're playing the darts and they're just throwing the darts, you know, and you hear a cat, you know, but they don't address it, right? Like it's not a front and center, like, hey, pay attention to the cat, but like it happens in the background, and you're gonna laugh.

SPEAKER_02 44:17

And Mel Brooks is known for that, though. He's known for putting that a lot of that kind of comedy in the back.

SPEAKER_03 44:21

But that's what I'm saying is like I feel like that's it's missing, it's missing in because it just adds, you know, and that physical comedy. The I miss that shit, you know. So I gave it a nine and a half. Dang, near perfect movie for her. That's right. Alright.

SPEAKER_00 44:37

Oh well, yeah, like, yeah, it's not my favorite. Top that, G Moder. Fucking 10. How about that not? No, uh I'm probably saying at eight and a half. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 44:56

8.6. What is that noise?

SPEAKER_03 45:02

He's back. It's your favorite.

SPEAKER_05 45:07

Is there a is there like a Lost Boys style motorcycle gang hanging out around your house?

SPEAKER_02 45:15

Right?

SPEAKER_05 45:15

That's David! Michael, get the hell out of here!

unknown 45:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:22

So 8.6. Yep. Alright. Uh all right. Well, uh, let's get into our recast.

SPEAKER_04 45:31

God damn you fucking piece of shit. It's not very nice. Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 45:38

Alright, so I'm judging. Uh does everyone remember what they had?

SPEAKER_05 45:44

Yeah, I got mine.

SPEAKER_04 45:46

I remember too. Tell them the bell. I had a horror. You're your last. Sci-fi.

SPEAKER_08 45:52

Oh, trust me. It fucking blows. I gave up. They gave up. I got something, but I stopped. Because like the first four times, it refused to put it in fucking English. And it was in Spanish the whole entire time. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_02 46:09

I would have read my shit in Spanish.

SPEAKER_08 46:10

I would have, I would have had it like translate to Spanish for me. And I got to a point where I said that's good. It gives me the one English one, and it's not even.

SPEAKER_07 46:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 46:26

Alright, you know what? Fuck it, Jeremiah. You go. He's not happy. All right. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 46:33

I'll fucking do it. I'm not happy about it. For the recast, um, for Frankenstein, uh, Joel David Moore, Inga, Anya Taylor Joy, Igor, uh, Pete Davidson, Elizabeth Emma Stone, and then the monster John Cena.

SPEAKER_00 46:51

Pete Davidson's a good choice. I like that. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 46:57

Uh, give me a second. You should have done the one that was in Spanish and just struggled through it. That would have been hilarious. No, that would have been biblioteca.

SPEAKER_02 47:12

Uh I have no idea what's going on, but I'm fully entertained by this. That's what I'm saying. It would have been good.

SPEAKER_08 47:21

This is where it goes. Okay. Key telenovela twists.

SPEAKER_06 47:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 47:27

The brain switch, episode 12, Cliffhanger. Igor intentionally gives Frederick the abnormal brain because the brain belonged to his mysterious past lover. Q Gasp, lightning. Zoom on eyes. Forbidden love triangle. Inga, Elizabeth, and the monster are all entangled emotionally. Yes, Elizabeth becomes fascinated with the monster in a scandalous twist. Hold on now.

SPEAKER_02 47:57

That sounds like the new Frankenstein movie. I don't know. I'm just briefing. No, I'm just saying, like, that's that's what happened in that movie. Well, I've never seen it yet. That is that the one with uh it's got uh um Oscar Izer in it. Yeah. And whatever his fucking name is. Is Christian Bale gonna talk back again? Since he Christian Bale's not in it. No, that's that's the bride. That's the bride, yeah. Which comes out next week, I think. I heard it was like this. That's what I heard too.

SPEAKER_08 48:24

I heard that like the second half just falls off, turns into some feminist agenda.

SPEAKER_03 48:29

I didn't have any interest in seeing it anyway. That's what I've read. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 48:34

I've heard that too. I've I don't know about the feminist.

SPEAKER_03 48:36

Watch Lisa Frankenstein, that's better.

SPEAKER_02 48:38

Well, I I do want to watch the new bride movie. I'm interested.

SPEAKER_08 48:43

So um, the hermit episode. Apparently, Telenovell have hermit episodes. The blind hermit.

SPEAKER_02 48:54

Oh, yeah. Isn't just comic relief.

SPEAKER_08 48:58

He becomes the monster's only true friend until a tragic fire separates him. He cries out, Why does love always burn me?

SPEAKER_07 49:10

All right.

SPEAKER_08 49:10

Uh Frederick's breakdown monologue, episode 25. I am not my grandfather, but what if I am worse? Camera spins, Thunder cuts to Igor smirking or Igor smirking. Dance scene, but dramatic. Putting on the writs becomes a make or break public redemption scene. The monster freezes, mid-performance, silence, then the crowd erupts. Or turns on him, depending on the episode cut. Um season finale. The monster is hunted by an angry mob, but Elizabeth throws herself in front of him, confessing, I have loved a man, but I feel for a monster. Frederick must choose destroy his creation or accept that the monster is the only one who truly understands him. The final shot, the lab, lightning strikes, the monster's eyes open again.

SPEAKER_06 50:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 50:09

Alright. Yeah. That was the best I got.

SPEAKER_02 50:12

It wasn't that bad, actually. I think you I think you're too hard on yourself.

SPEAKER_00 50:15

Yeah, I just Karen. Sci-fi. I want to hear the sci-fi.

SPEAKER_03 50:19

Sci-fi is like basically the same thing as the movie. Dude, he gave me horror.

SPEAKER_02 50:24

What do you think it was before?

SPEAKER_03 50:27

I'm just saying. Okay, so I had to do sci-fi. Um yeah, sci-fi. So my recast is um for Frankenstein, Adam Driver. I feel like um he could do it. Yeah, really? I think so. Um I can just see him yelling like the Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_02 50:51

I don't remember, it was two weeks ago that I did it, so I I think that's what it was.

SPEAKER_03 50:54

Well, I I can see him yelling like the Frankenstein is like in my head, that was kind of where and I feel like he would take like the science really seriously. Igor is um Taika Watiti.

SPEAKER_06 51:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 51:07

Uh the creature is Dave Batista.

SPEAKER_06 51:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 51:11

Inga, Anya Taylor Joy. Um Inspector Kemp is gonna meet um Idris Elba.

SPEAKER_06 51:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 51:22

Uh Elizabeth the fiance is uh Margot Roby.

SPEAKER_06 51:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 51:27

Okay. Uh so just envision this like kind of like VHS static kind of thing. 90s, we'll go with that maybe. Um classic distorted synth hum in a future beyond reason. In a galaxy where science has gone too far. Cut space station spinning slowly, lightning flashes for no reason in space. There is no lightning. Smash cut, Adam Driver slamming a console. It's Frankenstein. Record scratch sound effect, voiceover. One man will defy the laws of life, death, and basic common sense. Uh Igor holding two glowing brain canisters. Abby normal or do not touch. Quick zoom and dramatic sting. Voiceover, he chose wrong. Montage fast and over the top, electricity blasting everywhere, switches being flipped for no reason, someone yelling more power, a close-up of a random lever being pulled. The creature sits up, eyes glowing. Now the creation has awakened. Cut to the creature walking in slow motion as wind blows indoors. Inga, he is alive. Idris elbow pointing a giant sci-fi weapon. Shut it down, Doctor. Uh cut to Margot Robbie dramatically fainting into onto a futuristic couch. Saxophone riff randomly starts. Cut hologram performance scene. Creature awkwardly singing. Voice over this summer. Record scratch again. He's learning what it means to be human. Quick cuts, comedy hits, Igor's hump switching sides, mid-shot. Frederick double taking hard. A robot exploding for no reason. Creature gently petting something then breaking it. Someone screaming in zero gravity. Frederick, I didn't create a monster. Beat. I created perfection. Explosion, fireball in space. Who cares? Voiceover, max intensity, Adam Driver, De Patista, Anya Taylor Joy, and Idris Elba. Young Frankenstein. Neural Resurrection. It's alive. Yeah, we probably shouldn't have done that. Did you have cast as uh Igor? Uh Igor, I had Taika Watiti.

SPEAKER_04 53:49

That's it. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 53:53

Um, so for me, uh my recast is um as Frankenstein is Cillian Murphy.

unknown 54:02

Killian.

SPEAKER_02 54:02

Killian Murphy. Killian. Killian. Yeah. Uh Igor, I got Willem Defoe. Um the creature is Rory McCann.

SPEAKER_04 54:12

Uh Inga, I've got fucking Florence Pugh.

SPEAKER_02 54:20

And Elizabeth, I've got Margaret Qually. Um and the inspector Kemp is Josh Berlin. And then the Fr Fr Fral. Yeah, Frol. It was kind of a top-sun to me. I didn't know whether to do Helen Bohem Carter. I I kind of, but I lean more towards Tilda Swinton.

SPEAKER_03 54:40

I like both, but yeah, I think Tilda Swinton's a good one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 54:44

Okay. So mine's horror. Uh I definitely went with uh um something a little more sadistic. Um, okay, so so the tone and style. Think the thing meets reanimator, cold clinic, uh, clinical dread mixed with grotesque body horror. The humor is gone, replaced by tension, decay, and slow unraveling of sanity. Plot synopsis. Dr. Frederick Frank Frankenstein, now pronounced uh Frankenstein the original way Frankenstein, is a trauma surgeon obsessed with uh disproving his grandfather's legacy after a string of mysterious cadaver disappearances tied to his family estate in Transylvania. He reluctantly returns to settle the matter and bury the past for good. Instead, he finds it waiting for him. The castle is not abandoned, uh it breathes. Hidden laboratories still hum beneath stone corridors, and waiting inside is Igor, not a comic servant, but a twisted caretaker who has been continuing the experiments poorly. Uh bodies are stitched together incorrectly, limbs twitched or twitch independently. Uh some creations are still alive. Uh the experiment. Frederick uh Frederick discovers his grandfather's notes far more advanced and horrifying than expected. Not just reanimation, but uh conscious transfer. Consciousness transfer. Uh identity is uh identity is fluid, souls can be displaced. Uh driven by obsession, he comp uh completes the experiment. The result is not a man. The creature, Frankenstein's monster, awakens in agony, its body rejects itself, bones grind against mismashed joints, skin splits at the seams, it's uh it screams not in rage but in ex uh accidental terror. And then it starts to learn. Uh Escalation. The monster doesn't just kill, it rebuilds itself using victims. Villagers become disappearing or begin disappearing, their remains reappear as improvements to the creature. Frage realizes too late that the brain used wasn't just abnormal, it belonged to a violent sadist uh sadist who personally uh personality is bleeding through. Meanwhile, Igor begins his own experiments uh creating lesser unstable horrors that roam the countryside. That's pretty wild. Um key horror sequences the operation uh the operating room scene, surgery mid-reanimation goes wrong, organs begin moving on their own before being fully connected. The mirror scene the monster sees itself for the first time and begins tearing off parts of its body in confusion and rage. The village massacre, not a ramp, not a rampage and abduction, silent methodical harvesting of parts. The brain chamber shelves of preserved brains uh begin pulsing, reacting to the creature's presence. The climax. Frederick attempts to reserve the process, transferring his own consciousness into the creature to stop it. It works briefly. But now both minds occupy the same body. The final act becomes a psychological and physical war inside a decaying, mutating form, one trying to uh die, one trying to die, the other uh desperate to live no matter the cost. The ending. The castle burns, in the ashes, someone uh something crawls out, no longer fully human, but no longer entirely monstrous. It speaks with Frederick's voice, but hesitates like something else is still learning how to use it. Tagline. It's alive and it knows what it's made of. There you go.

SPEAKER_00 58:55

Joseph wins.

SPEAKER_02 58:58

So you keep the duck?

SPEAKER_04 59:00

I keep the duck.

SPEAKER_02 59:03

Yeah. Something like that, I didn't know how to do it. Like I told you guys, man. Plot synopsis. It strings it all out for you. It's so much easier. It gives you just a baseline. Instead of trying to I I feel like trying to read a trailer sucks. Because you're given all these plot points, and it's just it's hard to what? I'm just listening. You're staring at me like you're not.

SPEAKER_03 59:26

I'm not supposed to interrupt, remember? What the fuck? When did I ever we shouldn't talk over each other? It's not nice. I'm just listening. God.

SPEAKER_02 59:36

Okay. Alright, so uh anyway. Moving on. I get yelled at for listening. You were looking at me like I'm gonna punch this motherfucker in the face.

SPEAKER_03 59:47

I thought that was my nice face. Ooh, sorry. I don't read my facial expressions very well. Sweet ass trivia with carrot. Like stare at myself in the mirror, make faces, and be like, that's a bad face. That's a bad face. Don't do that. Don't do that one. I'm intimidating myself right now.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:02

Like, oh shit. I thought I wanted to punch myself there for a minute.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:07

Quit fake smiling. It's like that uh uh shit, half-baked.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:12

When he's looking in the mirror, he's like, I am not a fish. I'm not a fish.

unknown 1:00:17

I love that movie.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:18

I do too. Half-baked is one of my favorite movies.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:22

Girls like her only no three words. No, stop, and don't. Yeah, but when she gets with me, she's gonna be saying, No, don't stop.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:30

Was it Abba Zabba? Abba Zabba, you are my only friend. All right, young Frankenstein. Uh, the shifting hump on Igor's back was an ad-libbed gag. Marty Feldman had been servedly shifting the hump back and forth for several days when cast members finally noticed it was then added to the script. When Gene Wilder leans in to kiss Madeline Khan goodnight in her bedroom, and her last second quip, No Tongue, was Ad-Lib by Khan. Gene Wilder has stated that this was his favorite film that he had ever made. Uh, Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks got into only one fight during production, but it was a big one, with Brooks throwing a huge temper tantrum, yelling and raging, and eventually storming out of Wilder's apartment where the men had been working on the script. Roughly 10 minutes later, Wilder's phone rang, and it was Brooks, who had this to say. Who this is all in capital letters. Uh who was that madman you had in your house? I could hear the yelling all the way over here. You should never let crazy people into your house. Don't you know that? They could be dangerous. That, as Wilder later put it, was Mel's way of apologizing. Gene Hackman adlibed the blind man's parting line. I was gonna make espresso. The scene immediately fades to black because the crew erupted into fits of laughter. Hackman was unable to repeat the line without laughing, laughing with the rest of the crew, so the first take was used. Hackman was uncredited when the movie was originally released in theaters. Uh Melbrooke specifically wanted the actors who played the villagers and officials in Transylvania to speak with British accents. I forgot about that one. Uh he did this as a joke because most of the characters in Frankenstein from 1931, Bride of Frankenstein in 1935, etc., had people speaking with British accents, even if the film was set in Germany or Eastern Europe.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:26

They said that a lot with a lot of movies, though. Like they'll just throw British and English actors in there, even though they're in like off-world somewhere on like a different planet, but they all have English accents.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:37

But seriously, it's because like listen, us Americans, since we don't really like go a lot of places, like if we go someplace, think about it. It's usually just America, right? So like we're staying here, but like Europe, like over there, like they they travel to different countries all the time, right? Like all over the place. So us, if you've got a British accent, we're like, oh, you're different. You know what I mean? Oh my god, you're so cute. Or no, it's more so it's like, oh, well, they could be anywhere, they're speaking with a British accent.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:10

It's like people over here, they're like, Man, people with British accents and English accents are so hot of like, yeah, but over there it's just normal. Like it doesn't, you know for me, it's Australian.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:20

That's that's a good one.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:21

See, anyway. For me, it's uh Chinese because uh they they they speak like this. I don't know why. It just it's hot whenever a little Chinese man talks to me. Man, uh yeah, no, woman. Oh, obviously.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:35

I thought maybe you just like sneezed or something. Yeah, I sneezed.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:39

That was his name.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:40

Her her name. Yeah, her name. Yeah, that's what it meant.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:44

I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:45

In 1974, Aerosmith took a break from a long night of recording to see this film. Steven Tyler wrote the band's hit Walk This Way the morning after, in spider inspired by Morty Fogelson. Oh no, really?

SPEAKER_02 1:03:57

Yeah, that's awesome, right? Um, in the origin I'm gonna think of that every time I listen to that song now.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:05

I know, right? Walk this way. You're gonna see you're gonna see fucking Gene Mars.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:11

That should be the dance in the music video. What are you talking about? I guess should have been part of the street.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:16

All right, last one. Uh, in the original poster artwork, they had put a McDonald's on the mountain, having never received permission to use the McDonald's logo. They were forced to remove it from the key art due to copyright infringement. T-shirts and posters had already been printed and had to be destroyed and redone, removing the McDonald's logo. Fuck you, McDonald's. That would have been great.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:36

McDonald's, yeah. That's it. All right, well, uh, what's in the box?

SPEAKER_05 1:04:44

What's in the fucking box?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:46

Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:48

Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:49

Frank Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:51

Frankenstein. Frankenstein. Frankenstein pronounce. Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:56

Independence Day. Welcome to ERF. Welcome to Earth. ERF. ERF, bitch.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:02

He just says, Welcome to Earth, yeah. ERF. Shouldn't we be watching that one for if fuck it? We're watching it. It's ERF. ERF. It's been a while since I've seen this. ERF. Yeah. E R F. Or I R F. Guess what one we're not gonna do? The second one. Because it was garbage. I've never seen it. It was garbage. I've seen it once. I was like, this is complete bullshit. I don't even remember last time I seen Independence Day. It's been a long time for me, even. Well, I used to watch it a lot though.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:29

But was no one else bothered by the fact that he used a MacBook to connect to alien technology? Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:35

I used to think the same thing is like, so you're telling me there's just a way to connect to that motherfucker with a books back then were like the top-tier technology we had.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:44

Yeah, but we didn't have like a USB-COVID time.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:49

This movie goes very Michael Bay before Michael Bay happened. This is true. So wouldn't it just be easier to send astronauts to space?

SPEAKER_03 1:05:57

Shut up!

SPEAKER_02 1:06:05

Anyway, so uh where can we watch this movie?

SPEAKER_00 1:06:10

AMC Plus Apple TV. That's where I'm getting it.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:17

I feel like I need to own this movie though. It's a classic.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:20

It is a good thing. You know, I think that I think the thing about the 90s was the fact that like a lot of these movies were like um hits, and then now we watch them and we're like, oh.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:33

I'm afraid to watch it again, to be honest, because of that reason. But I feel like this movie holds out.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:37

Well, but honestly, it's one of those things though, because like we all watched Armageddon and we were all like fuck this movie, I don't want to watch it. It's so sick. Yeah, we watched it and we're like, this is that's why this is amazing. That's why this was a good or was uh a hit. Yeah, it was entertaining as shit. Like so it'll probably be the same way with Independence Day. I think so. I you know, I remember like that. Well, remember was it it was Randy Quaid in this where he was like a bomber or whatever? Yeah, like he's fucking great in this movie. So I'm back. Sorry. You know, do we have have we done um someone where Jack Black's like a had Michael J. Fox? Aliens, uh Mars attacks. Oh we done that? No, we should do that.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:23

I think it's on the list, isn't it?

SPEAKER_03 1:07:24

It might be.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:25

So what's our uh genres? Surprise me.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:29

I might see yeah, that's a good idea.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:32

You get to what if what if people choose the same genre then?

SPEAKER_08 1:07:38

Obviously, you can't choose the same one.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:40

Well, I mean we all gotta know who's choosing what, so that way we don't choose the same thing.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:47

Oh it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:49

You said we have to choose something different.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:51

No, he's saying choose something different from the genre that the movie is. Yeah. Oh, okay. Like you can't you can't do action sci-fi. Well, no shit.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:00

Well, I'm just saying if me and me and Jeff decided like we're gonna do comedy and that's fine.

SPEAKER_08 1:08:04

Yeah. One of them's gonna be funnier than the other.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:07

Yeah, it's true. Unless we get the same thing from Chat GPT.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:12

What if we all do the same thing and just a draw and I win? No, I mean like then it's a competition, just a straight competition. Oh, is that what you want to do? No, I'm saying uh no, I'm not saying we should we have to, I'm saying like what if we did, then it could be like a level playing field, is what I'm getting at. I like the idea to do our own thing. That's fine. I was only asking.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:38

I just don't want to do Noor or fucking what you just did, the telenovela.

SPEAKER_08 1:08:43

Yeah. Hey here, turning this into fucking telenovella.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:47

No, this this really won't be any good for me.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:50

Well Smith fucks the alien. What? Well, they're in the middle of the desert together. What else did you expect them to do? I know what I'm doing.

SPEAKER_08 1:08:56

Keep my alien name out of your fucking mouth.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:01

That's where she's from. Janet Pinkus Smith is not of this world. She is a fucking alien. That explains a lot. She doesn't have a have alopecia, she just can't grow hair.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:13

You would be fucked up if it was that uh the only cool thing she ever did was Demon Knight. Oh, 100% agree with that.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:20

Uh what's the bald-headed black chick's name from Wickers? Cynthia Rivero. Ariva. Ariva.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:26

Arivo? Yeah, Cynthia Ariva.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:29

Look at the back. She's got a fucking zipper. Fucking bitch.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:36

Dude, there's a fucking shit. She walks around like a fucking golem, dude. Like her long fucking nails and her like she's like her and uh uh what's her face are like Ariana Granda are like fucking disgustingly thin.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:49

Yeah. And they and they and they pawn each other.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:52

They're like, yeah, like they're fucking witch sisters or something. Like it's creepy. Well, I guess they were witches in the in the movie, but still, though, like it's creepy.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:04

I don't give a fuck. Like, I don't like it.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:06

They're so fucking they're from the witches. That's what it is. The movie The Witches, yeah, that's it.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:10

That's except they except they had makeup on. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like, you had Angelica Houston looking gross, which is hard to do. Yeah, yeah, turns in her mouse.

SPEAKER_08 1:10:19

I think you made me watch it. Luke.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:21

Yeah, yeah, Luke, yeah, yeah, yeah. Lucas.

SPEAKER_08 1:10:23

Yeah, he'd never seen it. Yeah, he never saw it when he was a kid. Didn't they just come out with a new one? Yeah, yeah, we're not watching it.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:30

I don't care. Yeah, yeah, we're not we're not watching that. No, I'm you're watching it. The original's great though. Yeah, oh yeah. But he'd never seen it. I said something about the witches, and he was like, What's that? And I was like, the one with the little boy gets turned into a mouse. And he's like, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm like, Are you fucking kidding me?

SPEAKER_02 1:10:44

Really? Have you seen it now though?

SPEAKER_03 1:10:46

Oh yeah, she sat down and watched it.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:48

It's a good movie.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:48

I think it was like that day. I was like, we can't. I don't blame you. Hold on, before I forget.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:56

Yeah, they did.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:57

Yeah, the the the good witch, the um the one at the end, yeah. Yeah, the one that was her assistant, and then she kept being mean to her, and then at the end she comes back and she turns Luke back into a little boy.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:09

And then she goes, she says, I'm gonna go.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:10

Yeah, because remember, I I remember because he broke the Ghostbuster house.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:14

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:15

Because he was sleeping in the Ghostbuster house and then he broke it.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:17

I was like, Yeah, he did. Yeah. Okay, all right.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:21

Yep.
