WHO REMEMBERS? The UK Nostalgia Podcast
Who Remembers........When Liar Liar Was On ITV2 Every Week?
Remember turning on ITV2 at any given weekend and finding Jim Carrey's face staring back at you? "Liar Liar" wasn't just a 1997 comedy film – for many Brits, it was practically a constant fixture in our television landscape, something we've all seen dozens of times, but rarely from beginning to end.
In this nostalgic deep dive, we attempt something both foolhardy and fascinating: reconstructing the entire plot of "Liar Liar" purely from memory, without rewatching or researching beforehand. The result is a hilarious journey through half-remembered scenes, confidently incorrect character names, and surprisingly accurate plot points that reveal how deeply certain films embed themselves in our cultural consciousness even when we've never given them our full attention.
What makes this challenge particularly fascinating is how it mirrors the way many of us actually experienced "Liar Liar" – not as a film we deliberately sat down to watch, but as something we absorbed in fragments through repeated casual exposure on television. Our collective memories fill in each other's gaps, creating a surprisingly complete picture of a film neither of us has intentionally watched in years.
Whether you're a fellow child of 90s British television or simply enjoy the nostalgia of revisiting films through the imperfect lens of memory, join us for this unique experiment in collaborative reminiscence. And if you've got suggestions for other films we should attempt to remember, we'd love to hear from you – especially those movies that seemed to be permanently playing on television during your formative years.
Who remembers Liar Liar being on ITV2 every week? Stop sharking Fish scoop. But none of the locals go paddling. Yeah, that's for me. No bottle this kit. I can't speak, you can't win anything with kids. Heck, no One of the superstar video games in the business, do you know, threaten to overrule me. If you're a fool, you can't get fooled again. Remember when it's the lowest form of conversation. This is history.
Speaker 2:This is history Right now. Right now, this is history. So yeah, I don't think that's a false statement. I think there was a period of time where it was on every week.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I mean, like I say we were going to, because obviously we're doing this in, we'll put it as a UK nostalgia pod. I'm quite wary that we've done Sopranos, which is obviously American, and this is an American film, but it's not the. The reason we've picked this as the first film to do is because it's almost like a staple of British TV, isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 2:At one stage it was like a running joke in our group that if you turned TV on Laia, laia would be on.
Speaker 1:Always RTV too. We were either that or Small Soldiers, but I think, like a liar would definitely on a lot more um. So what we're going to try and do today is we're going to try and go through, because I think you, it's definitely the film I've seen the most, because it's on itv2 all the time, and I think you, how many times would you say you've seen it? Liam?
Speaker 2:I genuinely think I've seen it about 15 times, not all the way through, but just in background or whatever I've seen it all the way through once, maybe twice, and then, yeah, I've seen, I've seen bits of it hundreds of times, um, but sort of the same bits as well. So I don't know how we're going to get on with this. We're doing a completely untried and tested format and we are going to try and remember live. So this is going to be live remembering live remembering.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, we're going to sort of try and take you through the story and then what we're going to do at the end is we'll summarise. We'll actually probably get up the plot synopsis to see what we've missed, if we've missed anything. See if we could have made it better or worse, or yeah, so we're going in blind.
Speaker 1:so, basically, we've not watched this film for ages, really, or certainly not all the way through, but it it's a challenge, isn't it, liam? It's a challenge, it's a mental challenge.
Speaker 2:How much can we remember of Liar Liar, and I'd be interested to see at the end what we've missed out it seemed like quite an easy sort of suggestion, but actually now I'm thinking about it, I'm wondering how much of it we are actually going to remember.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we with Thrice Bronze Medalist, it'll be a really short episode.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Thrice, yeah.
Speaker 1:Thrice Bronze Medalist as well of the South Yorkshire Remembrance Chalice. So it should be. You know this is a tricky one, though, for us. So first, obviously Jim Carrey's in it, I know that much. Not one of his more successful films. If you were a Carrey man.
Speaker 2:I would have said Carrey or Carrey both.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do like him, but this, this were after Ace Ventura.
Speaker 2:yeah, and Dumb and Dumber and yeah, this is kind of right in the sort of back end of the success of Ace Ventura, I would say. And the Mask, yeah the.
Speaker 1:Mask. Obviously the other one as well.
Speaker 2:I've not actually looked, but when are we saying when do you reckon this would be? Would this be?
Speaker 1:1997?.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think that's a terrible shout. Yeah, yeah, I'm willing to go with that. We'll have a look at this at the end.
Speaker 1:Yeah, jim Carrey, I don't think it were a massive commercial success.
Speaker 2:If I remember rightly, I think it was seen as not a flop, but not anywhere near, obviously, as big as well, yeah, and he'd gone from playing sort of these madcap characters in into he's playing a real life person. I suppose he's in the mask, but he also turns into the sort of mad loathe type character, so I think it's based on a true story the mask? Not as far as I know now.
Speaker 1:We'll check it out don't worry, he's playing a normal person. Any lloyd christmas, yeah but hugely exaggerated.
Speaker 2:This could be a real person In a way.
Speaker 1:But yeah, so he's like right. First thing and I thought I'm not locked because I don't want to ruin it Can you remember the main character's name? No, no, I can't. This is how mad this is. This is mad. So, pete, is it Pete? Is it Pete? I don't know, we'll have to just call him Jim Carrey from like all the way through.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm putting Pete out there, but we'll check it at the end so what I think happens is he's a lawyer.
Speaker 1:Where do you think he starts?
Speaker 2:the first scene? Yeah, no, but that's. That's more general, isn't it in my head. The film starts and he is dropping his big haired kid, who I think he's the one who does he see dead people? Is it the same?
Speaker 1:I don't think he sees dead people in this film, but which is not, I'd, be a massive twist like the other one yeah, that's a lie. Yeah, but no, he's uh, but no, I think my my first thing this is my not be him.
Speaker 2:He's like he's got sort of brown hair and yeah, I can picture him. Yeah, I can definitely picture him I think he's dropping him off at his ex-wives and he's telling him they're gonna have a great weekend or week coming up, or yeah, maybe it's his birthday.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah I think it's his birthday. Yeah, that's right, it's his birthday, because obviously he makes the wish yeah, I think he drops him off.
Speaker 2:I think his mother sort of comes to the door how do you remember his mom?
Speaker 1:because I might. I know this isn't right, this is weird. This is what's so good about remembering this one. I'm glad we did this as a pod because I didn't want to pick a film. That's like really famous you know like star wars or something like that, but this is a film that I have seen a lot of, maybe not, like you say, not all the way through all the time. I can't picture his mum or Jim Carrey's wife in it, and in my head I'm picturing a fucking Home Alone woman Kevin.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:I know it's not her.
Speaker 2:I think she's got quite a sort of dry voice and very slightly puckered up lips. Maybe I can kind of picture in my head, but I can't think of anything else she's been in. I'll be interested see if I've got that memory right. If you're remembering along with us, you picture what you think she looks like there is a massive lie of life.
Speaker 1:On that I apologise. This is why we wanted to do this one, though and also, by the way, it's coming to me now.
Speaker 2:This is real life remembering. I think the new partner is played by the younger detective in Beverly Hills Cop that likes his guns, is it Billy?
Speaker 1:We'll get on to it. I remember feeling really sorry for this character in the film, but we'll get on to that later, I think it is him, though, isn't he, and I think he's. Never seen Beverly Hills Cop, oh right.
Speaker 2:He's got a fantastic name because Tom, our mate, tom, right, he's got a fantastic name because tom, our mate, tom mentioned him and I thought he was mentioning the character he's playing, but that is his name.
Speaker 1:Well, again, we'll, we'll fill you in, we'll fill you in if you know at the end, yeah, if you get him really, if you get him really annoyed the setup is he's great with his kid, but he's obviously very, very into his job, and then the mum's new partner.
Speaker 2:I think he's kind of trying, but it's clearly not good with kids. He's not being around kids. I think that's the very early setup.
Speaker 1:Jim carrey's character is like a cool dad, you know he's like sort of playing baseball with him and stuff like that. This, oh, I remember it. And then he tries to do it and he's crap and you know he's trying to be funny and yeah, he's genuinely funny.
Speaker 2:Obviously, jim carrey's character he's got the big suit on and the flash car. I mean, in my mind he's got like a sort of oversized suit jacket on. But that must be the style that I can't believe.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that was just his style too.
Speaker 2:But the big thing is, I think he says I'll see you at the weekend for your birthday, and then he doesn't turn up and he makes a lie up because I think he's either working or he's he promises him that he's going to be there for his birthday, yeah, and and he sort of either says or pulls a face that suggests, oh yeah, another one of your promises, and he says, no, no, honestly, I will be there. I think he sort of gives him his word he'll be there. Yeah, you know, if it's because he ends up with some woman that he doesn't go I don't know if it's a woman or if it's his job.
Speaker 1:I presume it's a woman, because that makes him more of a bastard, doesn't it? Do you know what I mean? So that's what I reckon they're going for. So I remember this. He doesn't turn up and he says, oh, dad's not here, and she has a go at him for letting him. She's always saying like you always let him down, you always let him down.
Speaker 2:What's his?
Speaker 1:name Billy, no.
Speaker 2:I think I'm thinking of the Beverly Hills Cop Detective again.
Speaker 1:We're going to have to just call him what did you call him? Yeah, we'll have to just call him the kid, the Bruce Willis kid. I can't remember the film, what you just said.
Speaker 2:No, because it's not him, is it? That's Hayley?
Speaker 1:George, no, it's not him, it's not him, it's not him.
Speaker 2:What else has he been in? He's been in the big brown-haired boy.
Speaker 1:But he's always saying he says like oh, dad says he's going to come this time. Dad says he's going to come and his mum says like, no, no, no. He always says this. And then he doesn't come to his birthday. And I think she phones him and says, basically, you fucking wanker. She doesn't say that because it's a family film, but she says like going, oh, come on, mckinnon, he's not up for it all, so he's blowing his birthday candles out, um, big-haired kid. And he's like he goes go on, then close your eyes. You have to have one wish. And he wishes for his dad to not be able to lie anymore. And this is when the fun begins.
Speaker 1:It's a great idea for a film yeah, yeah, good the invention of lying with rickie gervais is basically nicked it, but he went in a more, as he does, like it was sort of like an anti-religious sort of thing, weren't it that he did?
Speaker 2:The burden of proof. I cannot believe he's talking about the burden of proof. That's a limit, isn't it? I think it's a time-related wish, though, isn't it? Wishes he could not lie for one day, or for the whole weekend, or something like that.
Speaker 1:I don't know if it was just forever.
Speaker 2:It could have been forever, I don't think so, I think he, I think, yeah, let's go through it In my mind he almost knows he's got to kill time for a day, because then he'll be able to lie again the next day. So I think he's kind of asking.
Speaker 1:Is this all set in one day?
Speaker 2:But doesn't he beat himself up because he wants to get like a mistrial, but is that just because he doesn't know what's going on, I don't think that's anything to do with the date. I think there's a time element to the wish.
Speaker 1:I don't think there's a time element, I don't think it's a day thing, because I think I remember they get on a plane like towards the end and that's I don't think they'd have a birthday and then get on the plane all in the daylight and stuff like that. So I don't think this is. It can't be set in one day because the court case is I'm sure that goes through like different days and stuff like that. But what do you remember about his first? Could it be a week or Could be. It could be, I don't know, or maybe I I don't know, what did you wish for?
Speaker 2:like so obviously like. This is the next bit of story, I suppose. So yeah, he wakes up the next morning and he obviously the wishes come true. So so, jim, jim carrey cannot lie, he physically can't lie, and then we? So I suppose the next bit is the sort of montage of funny scenes where he says things quite salty to people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I don't think. The first one I remember is actually it's not a lie is when that good-looking woman's in the lift and he goes and she goes. Oh, yeah, he goes. Oh, you're enjoying your first day. She goes, yeah, yeah, everyone's been really nice. He goes yeah, that's because you've got big. Then he shows you like obviously the thing opens.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she whacks it yeah.
Speaker 1:That's not a lie, though, is it? I mean it is a lie. I mean it didn't. I don't know Like is that? It's almost just like Tourette's, isn't it, rather than anything else?
Speaker 2:Yeah, no. But what he's going to say is something along the lines of oh yeah, that's because I'm sure you're really good at your job. But he can't say that. He just says the truth, which is what he's thinking. See right, it is a kind of threat, isn't?
Speaker 1:it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Say what you see. If you see it, say it. That's what that's. He should have said that. That should be his wish. See what you see. If you see it, see it.
Speaker 2:But the bit that's not kind of made clear in the way so if you want to get technical and you've kind of just captured it quite well there why doesn't he just not say anything.
Speaker 1:If he's, what does he say? He's in a bad mood, just like a shrug. Yeah, just I don't know. Everyone's being really nice to me. Yeah, I wouldn't know anything about that. But but he's got this case on, hasn't he? Where it's for the custody of some children and it's like a nice guy and this horrible woman and he's defending the horrible woman.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she is.
Speaker 1:Jennifer Tilly I think of. Did she play? Was she in Dharma and Greg?
Speaker 2:No, she was in Bride of Chucky.
Speaker 1:Bride of. Chucky Bride of. It's a completely separate thing, but I do. I can picture her definitely.
Speaker 2:And she's kind of sort of famously, sort of that, like I'm going to say slightly gothy, but it's not necessarily that. No, she's got a bit of an ice cream head, hasn't she? Yeah, her hair's sort of like lumped onto her head, isn't it? Yeah, I get where you're coming from.
Speaker 1:yeah, but so he's defending her and that is like the sort of the In this film, do you?
Speaker 2:think she's black-haired or blonde-haired, Because I'm not sure. I think she's got blonde hair. I think I associate with black hair, but yeah, I'm willing to go with you that she's blonde in this. I think she's got blonde hair on this and I think, like.
Speaker 1:So the main plot, really the main plot is obviously about him not being able to lie. I feel you get more of the court case or the court case, but the funniest scenes are definitely in the court cases than they are in the family things.
Speaker 2:You know him trying to meet his yeah, and obviously the sort of premise is he's a really top-light lawyer because he finds little loopholes and he sort of clever answers and ways of not quite answering things and effectively kind of lies his way through cases.
Speaker 1:I think I know now why he has to go through this day, because I hope some people are monitoring him. Is he like in line for a big promotion or something? Because I remember I'm sure there's like some people watching him and they're going to recruit him to their firm or something yeah something like that and he really needs this job, like he's desperate for this job and obviously he can't lie.
Speaker 2:And so normally this would be like a walk in the park for him. He would. He would sort of make something up about her reasons for why she's acted the way she has, get the other guy sort of thrown out no custody of the kid, she'd win it easy. So that that's kind of who he is before this wish is made.
Speaker 1:But now he can't do that because he can't use his usual tactics so he's really struggling in court, obviously trying to get custody for this, uh, for this, for the, for this woman, for the kids and, like I said, she's, she's horrible, she calls them brats and all this and where the other, the other, like the dad, is really like sort of caring of it and stuff. And there's some brilliant scenes here. I mean that one like when he, when she because she's having an affair, isn't she, with someone who looks a little bit like Alexis Sanchez, the old man United player, you know, the tallest guy in the suit.
Speaker 1:I don't know if she had an affair with him or she's going out with him and I think they want custody of the kids just for money reasons. So they're doing it for all the wrong reasons and they're like sort of and I think there's from memory.
Speaker 2:There's lines like so he says, your Honour, you have to delay this trial. And she says I think it's she. Is it female?
Speaker 1:No, no, no, it's the black judge, isn't it?
Speaker 2:Ah, yeah, yeah. And he says something like what possible reason could you have for a delay? And he says absolutely none, your Honour, it's something like that.
Speaker 1:It's like there's really where he's trying to say I can't remember what they're talking about, but he's saying to the other guy and he's going is it true that you and my client made right in his face?
Speaker 2:yeah absolutely brilliant which, again, I don't quite get, because I get, he can't lie but I don't know what has to make him into an absolute?
Speaker 1:madman, but he's having a breakdown and he's having a breakdown.
Speaker 2:This, by the way, this sort of section now, is really probably why he got the gig. I think this is him really over-hamming the Jim Carrey dial right up, isn't it?
Speaker 1:He's prancing about, he's marching, he's beating himself up in a toilet, beating himself up, and that bloke goes because he's punching himself in the face, and that bloke goes. What are you doing? He goes. I'm kicking my ass.
Speaker 2:Absolutely brilliant, yeah. And then doesn't somebody say, oh, who beat you up? What did he look like? And he says same height as me, same hair, something like that.
Speaker 1:Same height as me, same hair. Yeah, then he goes can you? Because he wants this case to be obviously cancelled, because he wants to be able to lie again. So he, he wants to be able to lie again. So, exactly, he thinks that's the only way he can win it.
Speaker 2:And it's a brilliant, that's a brilliant bit actually where he go, where the judge goes, can you?
Speaker 1:carry on. Yes, he obviously wants to say no, well, you're a very commendable man, because is that brilliant where he goes? Uh, he goes, I can't lie, he goes. Well, yeah, that's a really nice thing to say, but I'm not really interested. It's absolutely fantastic, but it looks like he's gonna lose and she's obviously paying top books and he's got this thing going on.
Speaker 2:But then I mean obviously, we're skipping through it, but there is a bit somewhere in all that Sorry, somewhere in all that. There is a bit where he kind of realises something's happened, because I'm sure there's a scene where he either phones or drives to go and see his son and says what did you do, what did you wish for? Yeah, so he can't lie, the wish is cast.
Speaker 1:So he knows by this point he can't lie and like, oh, you might be right. Then I wonder if he said that, how long does it last for?
Speaker 2:I think he says the whole week or a weekend or whatever it is. I'm sure there's a deadline, so that's why he kicks his own ass?
Speaker 1:isn't it Because he wants to get out?
Speaker 1:of it pretty calm, I think so yeah, and they, he's just a madman and obviously all these people are watching him. I think, like I said, they want to recruit him or whatever. They're looking at each other, like them, what I thought this guy was like, supposed to be like the best lawyer in town and obviously, you know, this case is only going one way because this, this woman's obviously just I can't remember like the actual reasons but this woman is never going to get custody of these kids for loads of reasons and it, you know it comes out that she only wants money. That's the only reason she wants these kids and stuff. But then he finds a loophole, don't I? Um, if you remember this bit? Um, no, so it turns out that she I'm pretty sure she has sex, I think at 16, so she's technically a minor, so then she's not I can't remember full thing, but it's like a loophole which he gets and he says like no further questions.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like a legit. So it's actually like it's good lawyering rather than just bluffing his way through it.
Speaker 1:He's like he found something. She's underage for something. I can't remember, it might be when she conceived, I can't remember what it was, but she's underage. And then, yeah, he says like yeah, no, and then he wins it and those people watching go the son of a bitch has done it. And they can't believe it. And then she's snatching the kids away. Do you remember? It's a really sad ending this, because I don't. That's it, isn't it? He's crying the father who's lost custody, and she's going get in my car. Yeah, she's going, you're mine now, get in your car. And he's like looking right upset, basically knowing what he's done. Do you know?
Speaker 2:he's like why like? So? There's obviously been some sort of like soul searching then, hasn't there? But there must be some scenes where he starts to regret the way that he lives.
Speaker 1:In all that, then well, there's another little bit here and I can't remember how this happens. He gets, does he get arrested? Does he get arrested? Does he hit her or something? Because at the end Strikes a woman. I don't think he strikes her. Something happens because near the end they're on a plane and he's got to meet his son again. I think it's. Is he late?
Speaker 2:He's late because he's doing a trial. Something genuinely happens that he can't get out of. He's doing something well-intentioned this time, isn't it?
Speaker 1:yeah, and it's more obviously, the mum don't know about the wish, or she might be told, but you don't believe about the wish or anything. So she's like going, he's let you down again. He's a fucking prick. Blah, blah, blah. We're getting on this plane and they're getting on a plane to move away. So I don't think that they'll ever see him again, or obviously not. It'd be a long-distance relationship relationship, because he runs after the plane, doesn't he? And he's going. Oh my god, it's dad, look at him. And he gets him to stop the plane. And that's where I feel real. I'm obviously at the end sort of here because we will go through it properly, but this is sort of what I remember of it. And then at the end, erm, she just fucks that guy off, doesn't she? Her new?
Speaker 2:husband. I don't think that can be right, can it? I'm sure? I think at the end.
Speaker 1:it's just Because I feel so sorry for him.
Speaker 2:I think they've just got a better relationship and I think his dad turned it up to take him fishing.
Speaker 1:No, no no, no, I don't think it's just get rid of him, kick him to touch. No, no, I'm sure she does. And he goes right, blow your candles out and then the lights go off. For whatever reason maybe because he's blown candles out or whatever Turns the lights off and his mum and Jim Carrey are kissing and he goes what did you wish for this time? And he said nothing. You know what I mean. So the thing is that he actually wished this time for his mum and dad to get back together.
Speaker 2:Yeah, which again would imply that they weren't then at that stage, wouldn't it?
Speaker 1:No, I don't think she runs off the plane to go with him, but I'm pretty much sure she kicks him into touch. Before you know what I mean. They're going to live a new life together.
Speaker 2:Is there a moment where she sort of says she realises like oh, fuck off you boring bastard. Yeah you're not good with kids. You don't want this. This is not good for any of us.
Speaker 1:I don't know if that scene happens.
Speaker 2:And he goes off to Beverly Hills. Cop then, doesn't he?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't remember that scene happening, but that's how I remember it ending Do you want to go through it. Do you want me to go through it, or is it too early?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I don't think it matters, I think we can both get. I think we can both type Wikipedia into Google well, alright, first off.
Speaker 1:So it's Classes of Fantasy Comedy 1997.
Speaker 2:That's what I said innit well done, well done yeah yeah, jim Carrey, maura T, jennifer Tilly that's what you're talking about. That's the other woman?
Speaker 1:yeah, who was the other one. Who's the guy then? Oh you, that's the other woman. Who was the guy then? Oh, what did you say? His name were.
Speaker 2:He's got like a mad name but I think he's Billy in the Beverly Hills Cop no no, no, sorry.
Speaker 1:I mean you're on about Swoozie Kurtz, then, aren't you?
Speaker 2:I don't know, I'm just trying to get my live research.
Speaker 1:What I meant is what did you mean? I know that's the mum, I think. Anyway, what did you think? Jim Carrey's character was called Pete Fletcher.
Speaker 2:As soon as I saw it, I thought yes, Fletcher, Fletcher. I don't know if I got that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's one day. You're right. Sorry, Liam, you're right, it's one day he was unable to live.
Speaker 2:We're doing research now I think I'm completely wrong about Billy from Beverly Hills Cop, because he's nowhere to be seen. No, I can't see him on there. No, he's not.
Speaker 1:So basically after oh yeah, so he misses his son's birthday because he's having sex in the office with another woman.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we kind of got that right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then it is one day, so you were right about that. It makes a bit.
Speaker 2:He can't lie for a day, so obviously he. Sorry, just to fill in there. Maura Tierney is the mum. The character is Audrey Reid. She is kind of similar to what I thought, so I do kind of recognise her, jennifer.
Speaker 1:Tilly is what we thought. I do know Jennifer Tilly.
Speaker 2:The kid is Justin Cooper, who plays Max Max yeah. Max Max yeah. Max, I don't remember him doing anything else. And you're right, it's Kerry Elwes, it's Jerry. They don't even give him a surname, just Jerry, just.
Speaker 1:Jerry, is that boring. So Fletcher soon. Obviously he can't lie because of this thing that we said, obviously. And his newest client is a gold digger who wants a net sum from her husband, richard cole. So that's it. So they've split up and he gets, she gets more money, she gets custody of the kids, yeah, but obviously um, audrey meanwhile is his man audrey, obviously the, the max's mom is going to uh, move to boston, to boston with jerry to protect him from Fletcher, basically because Fletcher just keeps letting him down. So obviously, as you said, you were right he tries to delay the case by assaulting himself and he knows that he can't. She's what he couldn't get around is she did cheat on her husband.
Speaker 2:And that is something that breaks the kind of what do you call it? The pre-nup. So if she was at court cheating then she wouldn't be able to make this claim, and he knows she was.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so obviously he can't win the case, but she signed the agreement, the parental consent, as a minor, because she was only 16 or underage, whatever that is in America. So he wins it on that. So and obviously he watches it and that's it. We've pretty much done alright there. He hijacks a mobile plane Fletcher says to Max, I'll spend more time with you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and actually you were right. I don't quite remember the sort of sincerity of Fletcher in that moment, but he watches her drag the kids away, crying from the dad who clearly loves him and wants to be with him, and he's horrified and he kicks off saying the decision should be reversed. But the judge holds him in contempt, so is this why he gets locked up maybe.
Speaker 1:Ah, yeah, that's right, because he starts shouting, that's why he misses it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So he says he's going to meet him and then he can't meet him. That's right, yeah, so he has to run after the plane and then to be fair, I didn't know this it's Jerry apparently tells Audrey, you've got to remain in California with Max. Basically, I think Jerry's probably just pissed off with Max, like I'm fucking trying right hard with this little prick and he just keeps fucking saying I Greta, played by Anne Haney.
Speaker 2:It was her, and she pays his bail to get him out because she realises he has turned over a new leaf. But I'm not entirely sure what. I don't know if she works at a law firm or is like Ah right.
Speaker 1:Is it his assistant or something? Maybe his?
Speaker 2:landlady. Yeah, no, that sounds right actually. Yeah, I think it might be. He might be his personal assistant, yeah.
Speaker 1:So then at the end, one year later, they're celebrating his next birthday and he makes a wish that well we don't know. He does make a wish and then to a kiss in Fletcher and Audrey, but Max says he only wished for Rollerblade. So basically the nice, happy, romantic ending is they got together organically rather than from what Max wishes.
Speaker 2:I wish that my dad could be in the Truman show.
Speaker 1:He did that next. I think I think we've done alright there, liam.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean to be fair. We did start by saying we've seen it hundreds of times. Yeah, but only a bit, if we weren't close.
Speaker 1:It's one of them that it's in the background, right. I don't know if I've sat down. I mean, there's obviously a joke on Family Guy where he says he can make a scene-by-scene reenactment of. We didn't do that, but I'm fucking happy with that.
Speaker 2:That's a shame actually if we've kind of got more time and effort. I'd like to try that to reenact it.
Speaker 1:I've seen a lot of Family Guy.
Speaker 2:I didn't know that was a thing.
Speaker 1:We missed one probably my favourite scene in it actually where she comes in and he's already like having a breakdown. He goes here, she comes to wreck the day. I'm happy with that, Liam, If anyone's got any more films that they want us to do. Obviously a bit of a quip on that, but if anyone's got any more films that they want us to do, please do let us know.
Speaker 2:Obviously, I haven't seen that many so it's got to be something that we've both seen, yeah, or know it too well. It doesn't really work. So try and think of those films that are always on in the background, but maybe you've not watched too closely.
Speaker 1:That's kind of what we're after and, to be honest, even if I've seen a bit, or one of us has seen a bit and the other one has to help us through, that's fine. Like I say, don't give us like I mean, think of a film that everyone knows.
Speaker 2:I mean, I could do Home Alone scene by scene. I think I could probably do Jurassic Park scene by scene.
Speaker 1:Snowman obviously not really a film. We've been through that recently as well. I want it to be something that we haven't seen for a couple of years. I could do Rocky 3 or 4. That's an interesting one.
Speaker 2:I could do Universal Soldier as well. I've seen that so many times. I've never seen that.
Speaker 1:But yeah, that's the sort of stuff we're going, maybe Back to the Future or something like that. You know what I mean. Stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, three maybe. I think I know one and two too well.
Speaker 1:Let us know. Let us know in the comments, since we've actually gone live. So thanks to everyone who's commented on everything so far. We will be doing listeners' feedback episodes once we get more episodes out.
Speaker 2:But you explain this, liam, about the yeah, so, as it stands, we're releasing this podcast on our old feed, which is the Living With Maidly one, and on the new one. Who Remembers? This is potentially the last time you'll be able to find us on the living with mainly feed. There might be one more, but you are going to have to make that switch at some point. So most I'd say probably what 90% of our listens for the first couple of episodes are currently still on the living with mainly feed. That's fine, welcome, but they're not going to go on there for ages. I mean, well, the truth of it is we're sort of paying twice, aren't we? So we don't want to pay twice.
Speaker 1:We don't want to pay twice, so what we're going to do is put a link on to the. I think you might have by the time you hear this actually we've probably done it to the last couple of episodes a link to the new platform, basically the Uremembers platform, because we don't we're putting out on two separate platforms at the moment, so he's going to go to that one, so just sign up to that, basically we are on Blue Sky, we are on Twitter, so if you're Hall Members, yeah, hall Members pod, you can find us.
Speaker 2:Just find us. Basically, give us a follow, give us a like.
Speaker 1:If you feel up for it, let people know if you're not on any social media, then, just like I say, just follow the link to what we're going to put on, to the episode description.
Speaker 2:The main thing is kind of now, if you do want to keep listening, you need to make sure you subscribe to the new podcast, because you will no longer get the notification. Imagine that. Imagine not getting that.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean. Half remembering Liar Liar. I don't think people can live without that. Imagine not getting that. You know what I mean. Half remembering Liar Liar. I don't think people can live without that. I don't know about anyone else.
Speaker 2:No, I understand.
Speaker 1:Another thing that we're going to do. A new change is we've just decided this. We normally say at the end of the show what we're going to do next week, but I find this as well where we might say I mean, for instance, when we did Robot Wars series, it took us about three weeks to record it. So I wanted to do a good job of it and get some clips and all this sort of stuff. But because, like I don't know, liam didn't get time to research, or I didn't get time to research, or one of us goes away, we sort of set ourselves up every time for to do something. So rather than miss a week, we're just going to like decide on the day. If we don't get a week where we don't get a chance to do much research or whatever into something, we're not just going to miss a week, we're just going to do it.
Speaker 1:So if Liam's got, a holiday and then we could do like a LILI one that we've done today, where there's no research whatsoever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's certain things that we could do with minimal. I mean to be fair, we never do huge research.
Speaker 1:We're not at huge research. There's ones that are a lot easier. Yeah, anymore. It's a secret, but if you follow us on the socials we'll definitely give you an heads up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because obviously we particularly enjoy any sort of pre-recording comments, that sort of let us think, because at the minute we're still recording ahead of release. We haven't had any of that yet, but as we get into the I don't know the next sort of four or five episodes, it would be great if you can let us know your comments kind of before recording, so we could try and mention them at the end. That would be great, yeah, or we?
Speaker 1:could probably do it. I mean, we'll probably do a listeners episode again, like we normally do anyway. But yeah, thank you for that. Then, liam, I'll see you next time. Could be anything. I think how exciting that is. Could be anything next week yeah, yeah, all good.
Speaker 2:So thank you for listening. Like I say, yeah, just uh, do us a favor. If you've not done it already, just switch over to the new place. Um, yeah, by all means, keep listening to madley, no problems with that, but we are not going to be putting content on there for the first yeah, yeah, we're going to change across to there, so get across there, um, and smash a like.
Speaker 1:I love saying smash a like. Anyway, I'll see you next time, leroy jenkins. Yep, au revoir. Thank you for listening to who Remembers.
