SPEAKER_02

Above bird law.

SPEAKER_01

Harvey. Uh I'm always every time I hear bird law, I'm always torn between making a birdman reference or an always sunny reference.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I just am thinking, I know this is I'm making up this in my head, but like a bird that's a lawyer in like his commercial.

SPEAKER_01

A bird that's a lawyer? Yeah. That's kind of what Harvey Birdman. Oh have you never seen that show?

SPEAKER_02

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

Brick and mortar. Oh, you're a big one.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, that's um bird person. Bird person. Sorry. Come on.

SPEAKER_02

Anyway. Can birds be lawyers though? Back to that.

SPEAKER_01

Well, Harvey Birdman can.

SPEAKER_02

Was he a bird, though?

SPEAKER_01

Well, sort of. I don't know enough birdman lore to really answer that.

SPEAKER_02

What's he from? What universe is he from?

SPEAKER_01

He is, I want to say a Hannah Barbera cartoon. I used to see him watching the old. Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Jetson's. There's only Hannah Barbera.

SPEAKER_01

Not so silly. He's a bit more like.

SPEAKER_02

Is he a cartoon?

SPEAKER_01

Yes. A bit more like Justice League.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Like that kind of. That's good enough. However, it's not quite good enough. So Adult Swim well, well, I think Adult Swim eventually will be. Yeah, that's what I thought we were.

SPEAKER_02

That's what I thought you were going to say.

SPEAKER_01

They they did a there was a Harvey Birdman attorney at law.

SPEAKER_02

And it was like kind of Maybe that's why I have that in my mind.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but they would say Harvey Attorney, hey, escorpus.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, I remember that.

SPEAKER_01

It's pretty good.

SPEAKER_02

All right. Well, this is a podcast where we simulate waiting in line. Which we're getting it's becoming more real.

SPEAKER_01

It's becoming almost real.

SPEAKER_02

We're literally standing in a two-person line.

SPEAKER_01

You know what I think?

SPEAKER_02

In a turnstile.

SPEAKER_01

Is that what this is? Yeah. It's a turnstile.

SPEAKER_02

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Isn't that what they're called at um Disney?

SPEAKER_01

It's a uh it's a ballet bar with an with art.

SPEAKER_02

Shh no, it's not.

SPEAKER_01

Shh. Well, hang on.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

It looks like one kind of.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. Sorry.

SPEAKER_01

But it it uh hey, if you're just uh if you're if you're just watching, uh we have uh something that looks like a ballet bar, but it's arguably a turnstile, although gosh, I wish Harvey Bourbon was here to argue against that. Because I think you're wrong.

SPEAKER_02

But I don't possess the um I have a heavy sigh for a litigious skill set.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, good. Do I? You think I do?

SPEAKER_02

You can be litigious. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I guess if Charlie Day can. Um but I was thinking we'd have like we it'd be cool to have a uh a poster here.

SPEAKER_02

Rob's gesturing to the back of the show.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, if you're just uh if you're just uh listening. Uh what I'm doing is gesturing right now to the wall behind me. Um did you know hey, for if you um just watching, did you know there's a wall back here? It's not just a blanket.

SPEAKER_02

A moving blanket. But I was thinking, excuse me. Sorry, I'm just talking.

SPEAKER_01

So I was thinking we'd have a little poster of uh maybe T-Rex, Mark Bolin back here. Maybe uh Mark Bolin and the Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02

You mean like an AI is gonna put that on there?

SPEAKER_01

Well, we buy a new poster every year. Every week every week.

SPEAKER_02

That's a great idea. That that definitely fits into the plan of not spending any more money on this podcast. Right?

SPEAKER_01

We'll steal them.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, okay, that's fine. Where will we steal a T-Rex poster from? I haven't never seen one in my lifetime.

SPEAKER_01

Well, the hard part's finding it. The easy part's stealing.

SPEAKER_02

I have a I don't let me forget to talk about them at the end.

SPEAKER_01

About what we're going. I mean, we have we have we have set so part of this podcast, if you're just now joining us. My name is Rob Shoecraft. This is Leslie Shoecraft. Uh thanks for tuning in.

SPEAKER_02

I tried to already do the intro, just so you know.

SPEAKER_01

It I know. This is I'm kind of I was uh double intro. I was laughing at myself when I when I did that 17 times on the last episode. Um I'm getting it out of my system. I'll work it out. I like to do bits to death.

SPEAKER_02

It's one of the rules, first rules of humor.

SPEAKER_01

Uh so uh what what was I gonna say?

SPEAKER_02

Uh you were describing our podcast and how we're actually waiting in line and we're waiting in line for a concert.

SPEAKER_01

Waiting in line for a concert? We're here to see T-Rex.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, from the sixties.

SPEAKER_01

Well, yeah, late. Okay. They were Tyrannosaurus Rex. And then they became T-Rex once uh Tony Viscani kind of joined up with Mark Bolin and they kind of became T-Rex in 1970. That was the first album.

SPEAKER_02

I discovered that if you try to look up anything about T-Rex, then you're gonna get a lot more stuff about dinosaurs. Yeah, there's a lot of like lots of cutscenes from Jurassic Park.

SPEAKER_01

They were here first, in fairness. That's true.

SPEAKER_02

Um I think I guess that's where they got their name.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, was from dinosaurs? Yeah. I don't actually know how he settled on that.

SPEAKER_02

But it it was a dinosaur name. He didn't make up dinosaurs.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, he didn't make up T-Rex in Tracks. I don't think so. I think that it could have been like a retroactive thing.

SPEAKER_02

Could have. Uh but anyway, so while we're waiting in line to see T-Rex, you and I, I usually become we have some some good topics to talk about. Yeah. And so we will be doing that. And then the surprise twist ending, if you're just tuning in for the first time ever.

SPEAKER_01

Hopefully you're just now sitting down for this twist.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. It's not gonna be T-Rex after all performing it. It's gonna be It's gonna be you and me. You and me. Yeah, Robin Leslie.

SPEAKER_01

It's us. We do a cover. Hey guys, the format of the show is we like to talk. We do in line. We do for about an hour and a half.

Fifteen minutes. And 90 minutes.

SPEAKER_01

Ninety minutes. What did the 15 come from?

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_01

We stayed in line, we talked. This is like waiting for you know the doors to open at a concert, and then uh and then uh and then we perform a cover of a song every week. And we told we will talk about T-Rex at some point.

SPEAKER_02

We're covering Beltane Walk.

SPEAKER_01

Beltane Walk is the name of that song. Kind of a deep cut, a little bit of a deep cut. I wish more people knew about it so I could talk about it with them.

SPEAKER_02

Well, before before we get into our main topic and before we talk about T-Rex, they actually have a lot more uh hits than I realized that was them. I did a little homeworking part of me.

SPEAKER_01

But listen, it's it's cool because it's like, yeah, yeah, the cast is good. They got Michael Peña's in it. The guy from you know the guy in Ant-Man, who's kind of like the he's sort of like the comic relief. Yes. He's in it.

SPEAKER_02

Is he comic relief in it?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Well, no, okay, so here's the thing. So I've you know I've seen a lot of war movies. The last three, this has been this movie was a lot of fun compared to Paths of Glory, uh, The Deer Hunter, and uh Grave of the Fireflies, which I would argue is a war movie, which are the last three A plus for quality, yeah, D minus for fun. Yeah, maybe even F minus. Maybe an F, yeah. This is like just the right amount of atrocity uh for, you know, War as Hell, that whole truth, and a lot of ambiguous, you know, good and evils like the ambigu ambigu ambiguity?

SPEAKER_02

Ambiguity.

SPEAKER_01

I sat in the car, I practiced that word so long, I've been working on this.

SPEAKER_02

Why'd you go get in the car?

SPEAKER_01

I just this word, the only person can say this word is in my car.

SPEAKER_02

So you drive a truck, you liar.

SPEAKER_01

So uh I'm sorry, truth is out. And uh it's just uh there's just an action scene. They're just let littered throughout the movie that just keeps moving, keeps rolling, if you will. The treads, little tank reference. Yeah. And then I don't want to give anything away, but if you like last stand kind of movies, like 300.

SPEAKER_02

I did like 300.

SPEAKER_01

Um Assault on Precinct 13, is that what it is? You ever see that movie?

SPEAKER_02

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_01

With all the uh police it's a John Carpenter movie with all these cops in a police station, just these like kind of unnamed hordes are just coming at them, and they're just like you ever see the old 60s Swiss Family Robinson movie?

SPEAKER_02

No. I read the junior novelization, that's it.

SPEAKER_01

The with the little books, like the little tiny books, yeah, yeah. Um The Ness is another one. There's a lot of tons and tons of movies like that, but basically just uh hordes of uh Nazis in this case coming through, and they're it it's it's great. I like I liked it a lot. I did most of the watching actually not on the bike, shh. But um, while I was uh like packing lunches and that kind of thing in the morning.

SPEAKER_02

Do you want a couple extra days to get through some stuff a little faster? Like you could pack lunch every day if you wanted. Gosh, really? I could I would let the I would let you do that.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_01

But I'm assuming that's nine times twenty-four, right?

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_02

We're not going anywhere, are we? No.

SPEAKER_01

No way.

SPEAKER_02

No way. Yeah, it's good this so far, though. I wish we I do wish we could just keep watching it at the end of each episode. It's like the nature of the way it is is it doesn't end. No, it's yeah, just everything's just one scene of Cliffhanger. Unapologetically cliffhanger. It's built on cliffhangers. So I like that a lot. Really, really good.

SPEAKER_01

We gotta watch Cliffhanger too.

SPEAKER_02

Um we also witnessed some more music being produced by our child.

SPEAKER_03

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_02

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_01

Movie Superlatives Game Explained

SPEAKER_01

So, hey, do you want to talk about um what are we calling this? Movie superlatives?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, we're doing some movie superlatives today. I can't see how my hair looks now that I fixed it again. I hope you guys like my glasses too that I'm reflecting all the lights directly into the to the camera.

SPEAKER_01

Everybody's just like watching this.

SPEAKER_02

I know it's I said I'm like Cyclops.

SPEAKER_01

Scott.

SPEAKER_02

Took my visor off.

SPEAKER_01

We kept referring to him as Scott and something. It was a paradise. Yeah, Paradise. Paradise, yeah. The movie we the show we stopped watching. Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Alright, so what we did was we each picked seven movies that we would that we had a category that they would win. So like a the award show, like best picture, best director, best whatever.

SPEAKER_01

It's kind of like an inverse of if you watch the rewatchables. We're picking the movie. They pick categories within the movie. We're picking superlatives that this movie is had would win the award for above above all m other movies.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. And and I think too, um, that it'll become a bit more obvious once we just get going.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. You know what I realized? What? Um, I think you started this off with start in in your favorite movies, pick the pick the movie that what did we get an award for? Yeah. I don't think any well, maybe one of these is one of my favorite movies.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, these are all my favorite movies.

SPEAKER_01

Some of these are my least favorite movies.

SPEAKER_02

And I had trouble coming up with a f list of seven movies that I would consider my favorite movies. I don't re-watch a lot of stuff.

SPEAKER_01

I forgot about that. So, um, but we'll get to it. This uh hilarity will ensue, I promise you.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, it will.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Alright. So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take turns. And here's what we did to prep. We chose our seven movies, and then we chose the superlative that that movie won. And then we didn't tell each other the superlative, we just sent a short clip from the movie, and then that up like Rob sent me his movie list with his clips, and then I had to guess what I think those superlatives are, and he did the same. So he's we've each seen some clips from the favorite from our movies, and we're gonna go one at a time, I guess. I guess back and forth.

SPEAKER_01

You wanna start?

Casino Royale And Almost Heroes Picks

SPEAKER_02

All right. My first movie that I chose was Casino Royale, and it actually got first in two categories. Yeah. So the first scene um is when Daniel Craig is swimming and getting up out of the ocean. So, did you want to try to guess what the category won for that?

SPEAKER_01

I think the butter's face award.

SPEAKER_02

The what?

SPEAKER_01

It's like a butterface, but for dudes.

SPEAKER_02

But that's only if you don't think he's cute.

SPEAKER_01

He's got a hot body. He's got a little bit of a troll thing going on.

SPEAKER_02

Like a hot troll?

SPEAKER_01

A hot troll, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Oh hatchet face.

SPEAKER_01

Hatchet face.

SPEAKER_02

Mount Craggy Mount Rushmore. What do they call that? Who was Jeremy Wade, Jeremy Renner, Daniel Craig, and Kirk Douglas.

SPEAKER_01

Kirk Douglas. Craggy face Mount Rushmore. No, he's a hot, he's a hot fellow. He's a hot dude. But that was my guess. Um I was gonna say, uh, you know, he's wears that. So Leslie, you guys don't don't know her quite as well as I do. She uh ever since 2006, well, I think that's when Casino Royale came out, she's been talking about the swimsuit that he wears.

SPEAKER_02

I would like you to get one.

SPEAKER_01

Anytime I wear any underwear, or presume she sees anybody else wearing underwear, uh, she makes a comment about General Craig's bathing screen. Oh, there needs to be a bait. Like, I need a what is the comment? Would would you really like me to wear something like that?

SPEAKER_02

No. You'd look great in it, but other than everyone else would be looking at it.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know if I'd like great in it.

SPEAKER_02

You would. There'd be a lot of stuff on display, though. It's a little it's a little off putting from certain directions. Um anyway, he won the best spy in swimwear for that.

SPEAKER_01

I would love to uh try to argue that.

SPEAKER_02

You could how could you?

SPEAKER_01

In swimwear.

SPEAKER_02

Best spy in swimwear.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, though so best when you say best spy in swimwear, you mean the most capable spy, the most pretty capable person at SpyCraft who wears swimsuits?

SPEAKER_02

They just were the best all-around spy in a swimsuit.

SPEAKER_01

I guess until I can come up with a better one, I'll be able to do that. You can't dispute it. I'm pretty sure.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, honestly, I think these are already awarded. I I you can't tell me that it's not accurate. They already won these awards.

SPEAKER_01

I do actually agree.

SPEAKER_02

And then the second scene, and this is a spoiler, if you have not seen Casino Royal, maybe jump ahead like 25 minutes because God only knows how long we're talking about it. But um the second scene that I sent Rob to to see if he could guess what what it won was when Vesper, the love and trust, drowns.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I thought it was when uh he killed two guys with a nail gun. I skipped after that I turned the.

SPEAKER_02

You didn't look at the timestamp that I sent you? Right. So what was your category? What do you think the category was?

SPEAKER_01

I think it was okay. This is this is gonna sound like a joke, but this is what I think the category was. Okay. I think it was It's all a little bit of a joke, so I think it was I'm just gonna stumble fumble things.

SPEAKER_02

Usually that's how categories are hard to like come up with. I think they don't just roll right off the tongue.

SPEAKER_01

Um hottest example or the two two hottest people doing a kissing a still warm dead body.

SPEAKER_02

Oh wow, that's a great one. I think that's very close. I I almost want to award you credit for that.

SPEAKER_03

Wow.

SPEAKER_02

But what it really was was most romantic drowning.

SPEAKER_03

Right? That's pretty cool. That's pretty good.

SPEAKER_01

It was incredibly romantic, though. Like he really loved loved her.

SPEAKER_02

I really wished I was smarter and funnier because I really wanted to do something with like the fact that they're trying to talk to each other underwater, and she's and I just wished I could like come up with some funny.

SPEAKER_01

Pushes herself away and screams. Yeah. Is she I know you can't. She's just letting all of her air out. Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. But yeah, anyway, good job.

SPEAKER_01

I'm very impressed that you know, the way do you notice the way he was doing CPR there? I think he was having some liberties.

SPEAKER_02

He was doing liberty.

SPEAKER_01

It's like how Quagmire does CPR. You watch that again, it's just like, wow.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, dude. They were up good. Maybe did they just get into a car crash? Is that it's kind of on par on theme.

SPEAKER_01

It's right on theme.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's right on brand for us. Dead body kissing.

SPEAKER_01

I'm pretty sure CPR gets gets a little hotter.

SPEAKER_02

All right, I'm very I'm I feel like we're off to a great start.

SPEAKER_01

I do by the way, I'm not necrophilia is not something I I just think this is a humor podcast, so don't take anything too serious. If you're just joining us, I don't think I've ever actually explained why in the theme song I sing about kissing your still warm lips.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. Is that just because it's something the audience won't like?

SPEAKER_01

It's just uh it it's it's rooted in the yeah, well, yes, it is. But it's I've all ever since I was like a little kid, I've always thought because you see watch movies where somebody dies and somebody's in love with them and they hug them and they kiss them. And of course, I'm sure I do the same thing. But I just remember thinking, like, at what point is that not okay?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, when do you when you're like, wait a second, I don't want to hold this.

SPEAKER_01

But then like he got like uh uh what's his name? Frank uh Frankie Cavaliers, I can't remember his name. The Cavaliers. Uh the last kiss. Oh well, can I doesn't he kiss her? I'm pretty sure.

SPEAKER_02

I think so. Yeah, I have to look up the lyrics too.

SPEAKER_01

But she might have been still with us at that point right before. And then he's like, he's kissing her in the like, but also taking her pulse. He's like, Oh, I gotta stop.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, I'm done. Hands off. Hands off. Call 911.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I did call 9-1.

SPEAKER_02

That was another thing I did.

SPEAKER_01

All right, Dahmer. What's that?

SPEAKER_02

I did call 911 this week. That was another thing that took up some of my time.

SPEAKER_01

That was exciting. I'm glad everybody was okay. Yeah, I witnessed it.

SPEAKER_02

I witnessed a car turning left in front of a motorcycle. Didn't have to kiss anyone. No. I after I called 911, did my due diligence and saw that there were a bunch of people out sitting with those people in the ambulance. The police cars were coming. I just put my car in reverse and slowly backed away. I was like, see ya.

SPEAKER_01

I thought I just thought of a genius idea.

SPEAKER_02

What?

SPEAKER_01

Um, you're a pretty good writer.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

And it's pretty easy to self-publish on Kindle.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You should write a motorcycle romance novel about a motorcycle guy who there's a female truck driver.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

She cuts him off.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

He goes flying into it. She comes out. He's not quite okay, unlike this situation. She's got to give him mouth to mouth.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

He's dead, but he comes back. Oh my gosh. And we could be our the soundtrack for that.

unknown

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, yeah, we're diversifying. That's something to think about. Thanks for letting me uh. Alright, so that's the second one. Do we want to talk any more about that?

SPEAKER_02

No, that's good enough. It's your turn.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, so so two. Should I go two or should I go one?

SPEAKER_02

I only did one. One movie. I mean, I'm I only have two for.

SPEAKER_01

That's fine. I'll move on.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. This is with uh this is Almost Heroes, which I believe was 98. I'm not gonna know the dates for all of them, but I'll I'll try. Almost Heroes is a Matthew Perry and unfortunately. Well, shoot, Matthew Perry's dead too. Jeez. Matthew Perry and Chris Farley's last Chris Farley's last movie. Okay. Their last movie together as well. Okay. They're also the last movie.

SPEAKER_03

Aww.

SPEAKER_01

Um, this is the scene where Higgins, uh, I don't remember what Higgins played in the movie, but I I've seen the movie once, twice. Yeah, once-ish. I've seen this scene so many times.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and now I have too, twice. Well, I've seen it like four times, I think. I think you've made me watch it before the other night. It's a scene. Our poor care our poor daughter was having like a meltdown over having so much to do. It was justified. So Rob was like, here, watch this. This will make you feel better. I don't think it worked. Normally she's into it, but not, she wasn't.

SPEAKER_01

She wasn't. She was going through some stuff. So this is the scene where they're all around the campfire, and Higgins or uh Chris Farley tells Higgins to tell a story. And Higgins stands up and tells a story about the time. And this is a family show, so I'm not gonna use his exact language.

SPEAKER_03

He said a few lessons.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, sheepdongue.

SPEAKER_03

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01

Where Higgins tells a story about how he got his brother, and it's very proper his delivery, and he's very um very earnest, and just uh he's an interesting character. And he tells uh he tells a story about how he tricked his brother into eating a plum pudding full of sheep dung.

SPEAKER_02

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01

And um and everybody's laughing. Matthew Perry's just a little confused.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And then he sits down, like the story's over. That's pretty funny. Like that part is pretty funny. It's it's absurd. But then and then Chris Farler yells, tell him the best part. And then he's like, Oh, yes, yes. The truth is, I have no brother. I ate sheep.

SPEAKER_02

SH.

SPEAKER_01

SH. And Matthew Perry's like, ah, a little twist at the end there. What do you think?

SPEAKER_02

I I went with What is that the award?

SPEAKER_01

What did that get the award for?

SPEAKER_02

The the category that this award was all delivered in is best poop joke with a twist ending.

SPEAKER_01

Hmm. That's not it. I like that.

SPEAKER_02

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

Trying to think if there's a better one. Best poop joke.

SPEAKER_02

With a twist ending.

SPEAKER_01

With a twist. Do all jokes sort of have twist endings? Kinda? Isn't that sort of like a, in a way, a like a punchline is a bit?

SPEAKER_02

I don't normally think of jokes of having jokes.

SPEAKER_01

I think the thing is, I don't think he is a joke. I think Higgins actually ate.

SPEAKER_02

Alright, well tell me what it won then.

SPEAKER_01

If I was wrong, then the all-time funniest scene from an otherwise irredeemable movie.

SPEAKER_02

Oh wow. See, yeah. I don't have the meta view of having seen the whole movie to know whether or not it was irredeemable.

SPEAKER_01

I, you know, of course, all of this is incredibly subjective, but I there's definitely other drowning scenes that could have been more romantic. I really went through a lot. Honestly, one of the contenders I would say for this award is probably like another one on my list from Ace Ventura when Nature Calls. That movie's not very good. But uh I was surprised to see that on there. Ace Ventura two. Two. Two.

SPEAKER_02

I was like, Ace Ventura two? All right.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. So I I tried to find, I went through like all the bad movies. Like I literally like I sorted IMDB scores by under 5'5 and Rotten Tomato scores by under 10%, and just went down.

SPEAKER_02

Like, have I seen it's the most different people that have ever been?

SPEAKER_01

I I thought maybe I'd strike I I look like Little Nikki.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Because I love there's a six scene where they play Chicago the Chicago album backwards, and it just always cracks me up. It it's so stupid, but I love it. But the rest I think I like that movie a little bit more than I want to admit, so I couldn't say it's not redeemable. I watched, have you ever seen um is that Dana Carvey movie like the where he's like the Master of Disguise?

SPEAKER_02

Uh no, uh not that I know of that.

SPEAKER_01

I've never seen it. I watched seven minutes of the best clips. It was terrible. I watched it, I ended up cranking up to two speed, and I quit two minutes in. It is the worst movie I ever made, I think. It's terrible. So bad. It's so bad. And I don't really know it's on your list. Dana Carvey's amazing. But um, so I love Chris Farley. You know that. Like Chris Farley, I was like one of the only one of the one of the celebrities that very first celebrity I'd say that I remember being truly sad when he died. Um he this he was already dead when he made this movie. Like Yeah. And I'm not trying to be like, it's just this movie was such a waste. You know, it was made by Christopher Guest, who oh yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Did Waiting for Guffman and all that.

SPEAKER_01

You got Matthew Perry, who's like basically on top of the world at this time. Like Matthew Perry's pretty as Chandler Bing, anyway, is a pretty funny dude.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You got Eugene Levy's in it.

SPEAKER_02

Wow.

SPEAKER_01

You got Higgins, whoever that is. Higgins carries the movie.

SPEAKER_02

Wow.

SPEAKER_01

I think the reason I did the first when I saw this movie, I was just like, I felt like depressed afterward. Because I was like, this movie sucked.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And I miss Chris Farley.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I miss Chris Farley. I miss the old Chris Farley. So the healthy Chris Farley.

SPEAKER_01

Part of that subjective, you know, irredeemable part goes into. Truth be told, I'll watch well, I'll watch Chris Chris Farley do anything. He always cracks me up, but it was just, it was just, given all the circumstances, it was a bummer.

SPEAKER_02

That's great.

SPEAKER_01

But Higgins saved it. All right, Higgins. Thank you, Higgins.

SPEAKER_02

Great job for making that movie have any redeemable qualities with your poop story. Uh, about how you ate poop. It's funny, it is funny because it doesn't make any sense. Because you're like, well, but why? Why did you do that? Like, I love it. Yeah. Uh all right.

SPEAKER_01

It's one of my favorite scenes from mini-movie ever, which is insane. There's some bangers on here.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Alright, my turn?

Napoleon Dynamite And Nothing To Lose

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

All right, Napoleon Dynamite, it's my next movie.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

And it's the scene where Uncle Rico is, you know, he throughout the movie he's trying to sell that Tupperware, and he pulls out like the ship that she would get if she would buy the and she says I want that. So what do you think the category is that it won?

SPEAKER_01

Again, this is another kind of meta category or award. I would say Napoleon Dynamite would get the award f for having a quote that we use the most in our daily life.

SPEAKER_02

Wrong. It gets the award for movie with the best gift with purchase award.

SPEAKER_01

Oh. Oh man. I really want to do some homework on this. Because I don't like first of all, you gotta find a movie that has See, yeah, it's all it's just insanity.

SPEAKER_02

You're see, I here's how I went about this. I thought of seven Moonbies. Moonbees. Moonbees, and the reasons that I liked them, and then I decided what their superlative was based on my some of my favorite scenes from those movies. And then I didn't go to uh Rotten Tomatoes, I didn't look at IMDB, I didn't literally any of what Rob did. So just so you guys know, like it's it's not gonna be the same.

SPEAKER_01

By the way, please I want to hear your if you uh tack on to these. Find give us uh Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

If you know of a movie that has a better gift with purchase, please, please comment below. We would like to know so that maybe we could redo this episode with more accurate information. So your turn.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Well, uh so that that that that seemed, but but I just want to say the reason I chose that and honestly thought that's because we quote it. We say I want that all the time.

SPEAKER_02

The top comment on the scene I sent you was I say this every time I have materialistic greed. Something like that. You see something you want, I want that. And it's it's just so it's like a 30-second clip. He all he does is pull that ship out. And she leans over to her husband and says, I want that. And then they buy that stupid Tupperware.

SPEAKER_01

And he's like, It's like you look like a strong young pup. He like tries to do it and she's like kind of looks it up like disapproving.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, because he can't rip it, you can't rip the lid of a Tupperware apart.

SPEAKER_01

Uh there's a lot of people who think that's an irredeemable movie.

SPEAKER_02

Well, those people should be not our friends.

SPEAKER_01

I'd say watch it again. That's what I would say.

SPEAKER_02

I would say by the time you've watched it 25 times.

SPEAKER_01

I had so many people saying, dude, Rob, you would love this movie. You would love this movie. I watched it, I'm like, eh. I see why people think that for whatever reason I watched it a second time. It's like, how'd I miss this?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, this is great.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And now I've seen it 70 times.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. It's a good it's a good one I would like to put on to fall asleep a lot of times.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. It's great. Good, good, decent soundtrack, too.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, great soundtrack.

SPEAKER_01

All right. Okay. Uh, you got the promise on there.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, is that the song at the end?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, have you ever heard Sergio Simpson do that song?

SPEAKER_02

No, but I think that's a good one.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, he does a great cover of that.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I like him, so I'll have to listen to that.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, but then you got Jack White on there too.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, my glasses are hurting my ears, everybody.

unknown

I know.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

It's like they're too tight with these headphones on.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I bet. It's oh fine.

SPEAKER_02

It's oh fine, though.

SPEAKER_01

Do you have to see?

SPEAKER_02

I was thinking about that. I kind of don't, but for now I'm gonna leave them on.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Uh is it my turn? Yeah. All right.

SPEAKER_02

We have uh Oh my god, I gotta look my up what I wrote.

SPEAKER_01

The movie Nothing to Lose, starring Tim Robbins. What?

SPEAKER_02

Oh, that's not the one. I was thinking of Spies Like Us or whatever.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay. And uh and uh Martin. Martin Martin. Sorry. Sorry about that. Do you ever watch Martin?

SPEAKER_02

I think so, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Martin Lawrence?

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Um so yeah, it's a 90 1997 movie. I would say of uh to quote the internet, an underrated gem.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I'd like to watch it. Actually, that scene made me want to watch it.

SPEAKER_01

Well, you have watched it. You know how I know you've watched it? Or no, you maybe you just watched, maybe I just made you watch a scene of it. You yes, sir.

SPEAKER_02

Oh god.

SPEAKER_01

The John and I always weak. So there's this this is another completely random scene. Nothing, nothing, this is not the scene I'm gonna be giving the award to. Okay. Martin Lawrence's son in the movie. Because Martin Lawrence is like he's a criminal, but like a good dad. But we'll watch it sometime. Yeah, I won't. Anyways, his his son's like he's like, you do all your homework, you get you get you go in the saying your prayers, and the the kid's like, he, yes, sir. So you and your buddies. For whatever reason, John and I always thought that was hilarious. So whatever we'd ask each other a question, we to this day. It's been like I don't know how long we've known each other, 30 some years. But I would say, yes, sir. Okay. So the actual scene I want to talk about, not a random.

SPEAKER_02

It is a great scene, isn't it? Yeah. Also, is he from Silo? Is he okay? That's why I thought that he's much younger.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he's in a lot of things. 30 years ago. It was 30 years ago. Of course. Andy Dufresne. But 29 years ago. 29 years. Wow, that's sick. It's the scene where they're driving. I think they just robbed. For as much as I love this movie, I've only seen it a couple times. I think they just robbed somebody, robbed a gas station or something like that. And this movie's great, man. And anyways, he's he's got gas, he got some gas on his uh on his feet, and he's got a spider. Tim Robbins has a spider on his head. They're driving away, they're talking. Tim Robbins is upset about everything.

SPEAKER_02

This scene just covers so many wonderful gems.

SPEAKER_01

It's only like a minute and a half.

SPEAKER_02

No, it's like five minutes. It's three and a half minutes, maybe. But yeah, he's like, he's Martin Lawrence is like, you got a spider on your head. And he's like, I don't know, I don't understand that talk. Yeah. He's like, You have a spider on your head. On your mother.

SPEAKER_01

And he's like, get it off. He's like, I don't touch it.

SPEAKER_02

So then he gets out of the car.

SPEAKER_01

Which is that whole exchange is hilarious to begin with.

SPEAKER_02

That would have been enough. That's what I thought it was going to be.

SPEAKER_01

Because I love I love whatever that that deal. I can't think of another example right now, but I've seen several of them where somebody says something and somebody's assuming there it's some sort of expression or some euphemism or something. It's just a literal comment. You have a it slows it down, add a little F word for the punch, and it's just beautiful.

SPEAKER_02

So I thought that was the whole I thought that was gonna be the clip because he says, I don't understand your dive talk, and I thought that was gonna be I was gonna have to come up. But then they stop the car and he gets out to get the spider off of him. And Martin Lawrence has a video camera, which maybe explained earlier in the movie.

SPEAKER_01

We're gonna call that checkoff's video camera, because that comes back later in the movie.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. And he starts filming him because he's acting ridiculous trying to get that spider off, and then he's dancing around with gasoline on his shoes, and he steps on a matchbook and sets himself on fire, and it's like just it just keeps getting funny.

SPEAKER_01

While the scat man is playing.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, yes, yes, they play that. It was really funny. That's great. And then he falls out of the car laughing because he's laughing somewhere.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, he looks like he's genuinely laughing. Like it looks like Martin Lawrence is like the actor is just trying for it.

SPEAKER_02

It was like such a happy scene. I really, really liked it. I was like, man, I we've got to watch this movie. All right. So I had I had my fake one. We have this friend named JB Friday. Well, hang on a second. What's the name?

SPEAKER_01

What's the category?

SPEAKER_02

I know. I said I have a fake winner, and then I'll tell you what my real winner is.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02

I I mean my fake superlative that I know this isn't what it is, but I can't not say I thought you were going to the next movie.

SPEAKER_01

I got you. I'm so so hey, hey, listen to you.

SPEAKER_02

Does JB listen to this?

SPEAKER_01

I I know he has.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, well, I said most likely to be where our friend JB learned how to laugh at jokes. Because our friend JB, if he thinks something's funny, he just hits the ground. He just lays on the ground and laughs. And when Martin Lawrence fell out of the car, I was like, that looks good too.

SPEAKER_01

But it doesn't matter how many people are there.

SPEAKER_02

No. Um but what I really We love you, JB. What I really came up with was the best use of making a movie within a movie.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's I don't think that would win that, but just I Okay, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_02

You're so mean and critical.

SPEAKER_01

No, I love that. I love it. I love it. Um that's gotta be though, like uh, well, it's not eight millimeter. Uh won't tell you.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I mean, it's obviously a joke.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, you said it was a joke.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, the JD one was a joke.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I thought it was a real one.

SPEAKER_02

But anyway, that was my guess. Best use of making a movie within a movie.

SPEAKER_01

It's a great guess.

SPEAKER_02

Because he's filming him just against it.

SPEAKER_01

It's actually really straightforward.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, let's hear it.

SPEAKER_01

Uh best dance with an arachnid.

SPEAKER_02

Best dance with an arachnid. I yeah, I I was going that direction. Then I had that camera, man. I just knew I was like, I had to talk about that. He's filming, I'm doing it.

SPEAKER_01

I'm glad you did. Thank you. And you might be right. I might not be that mean after all. I might have been mean for no reason.

Singing In The Rain And Shaolin Soccer

SPEAKER_02

Okay. Back to me.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, what you got.

SPEAKER_02

My next movie is this is a pretty straightforward one, but this is Singing in the Rain.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Uh, so it's a scene that the um Cosmo was kind of like the sidekick to the main character, and he's singing a song called Make Em Laugh about how basically like the silent movie era is ending, and how comedy is like the way to go. And he's like, just you know, if you it's too serious, just make them laugh. And he sings this whole long song about it, and he tap dances, and it's like a very great scene. He's a great dancer, and he's a great comic, uh, physical comedy. Did you watch the whole thing or did you just skip to the end? Because I put a timestamp on there, but can I just tell you what I guessed?

SPEAKER_01

Sure. Um, but I think it I think Sing in the Rain gets most impressive uh take on physical comedy and a musical number done by one guy who smoked four packs a day, Donald O'Connor.

SPEAKER_02

Wow, did he smoke four packs a day? Apparently. Wow.

SPEAKER_01

That was insane. I I know I've seen that movie before. It is a great movie. I know I said I was like a big into musicals or whatever, but oh, I don't know. Maybe they had to film it all in one take.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, he was like I yeah, I Judy Garland probably would have been like 12 at that point. But I guess that's when she started.

SPEAKER_01

Was it 52?

SPEAKER_02

Oh, it was that late. I thought it was like 49 or something. It's fine. You know things.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Well, I don't know. Um, you know what's fine. Here, uh, so yeah, he was a vaudeville actor. Uh uh O'Connor was. Yeah. And he so what's his name? Gene Kelly, right? Yes. He's the he's the main guy.

SPEAKER_02

He's like the heart, the love and apparently incredibly demanding.

SPEAKER_01

Really tight choreography demands. We get in fights with a lot with people, but but it kind of probably in a way that like um Stanley Kubrick would, or something like that. They have a vision, yeah. And everybody kind of respects it, but it's just like, oh my gosh, dude, like really, yeah. They this is what I found out about it. He he did the did the deal. I don't think he'd done stuff like that in a while.

SPEAKER_02

Who don't know?

SPEAKER_01

Because he does like two backflips. He jumps up in the air a million times, he's falling around, he's jumped. If you guys, if you haven't seen it, like it is incredible.

SPEAKER_02

It's by any and he sings, he's singing through half of it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and he's singing.

SPEAKER_02

Wait, can I just tell you what the name of the award is? Because you're very close.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Mine was just a little bit more specific than yours. Best upside down tap dance. Because he my the thing my sister and I used to always try to do is when he runs up the wall and flips over. And he does it twice.

SPEAKER_01

I had a buddy who used to do this. Oh my gosh, but with his tap shoes on. Not with tap shoes.

SPEAKER_02

So there you go. Best upside down tap dance. So you were, I mean, that was basically a nod to the physical.

SPEAKER_01

And dude, he kind of has a breakdancing scene at one point. Yes. He's all over.

SPEAKER_02

And he like falls over like he's getting punched, and there's nobody. It was good. It's cool.

SPEAKER_01

So they did that soon.

SPEAKER_02

I'm glad you liked it so much.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I did. It's great. You know, I love I love physical. I'm always if you want to impress me and you could do a backflip, just get in line. I'll watch everybody in line do a backflip. I think it's the coolest thing. I don't know. I've I've never never done it. My my mom used to scream I was gonna break my neck when I'm like, Can you break a neck? She's right. I totally would have. Or what if I tried now? But the he he he did they took the shot. Look, it there's rumors going around that it was done in one shot. That's not how it was, but it was done in in one day, and again, he was exhausted. There was some sort of technical malfunction, so he had to do it again after and he was apparently laid up in the hospital for several days from like like serious exhaustion.

unknown

I believe it.

SPEAKER_02

All right, we should keep moving.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, let's keep moving. You're up 1952, by the way. Okay, you were right. Yep. Okay. Um, what do I have here? We have not pink flamingos.

SPEAKER_02

Nope. And never, it'll never make any other appearances on this show.

SPEAKER_01

It will, actually.

SPEAKER_02

Well, then I quit.

SPEAKER_01

No, it will in a moment, because I almost had it on there. What I was going to do, if we're gonna talk about Shaolin Soccer. What I was going to do is make an entire list of seven movies with eggs in it.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, okay. Just because this is the egg scene from Shaolin Soccer.

SPEAKER_01

It's the egg scene from Shaolin Soccer.

SPEAKER_02

All right. Describe it.

SPEAKER_01

Shaolin Soccer is an over-the-top movie by uh Stephen Chow, who did he's way way more well known for Kung Fu Hustle. If you haven't seen Kung Fu Hustle, honestly, I think Kung Fu Hustle's for everyone.

SPEAKER_02

Uh it's great.

SPEAKER_01

I think it's an amazing film.

SPEAKER_02

It's great.

SPEAKER_01

Top notch. If Leslie says so, because you're not a big you like action movies way more than I think people assume you do.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

But this is like fantasy, action, crazy storytelling, really interesting characters. That's Kung Fu Hustle. You okay?

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Shaolin Soccer, I like your earrings.

SPEAKER_02

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

Shalin Soccer is not as good as Kung Fu Hustle. But if you like if you like Kung Fu Hustle and you just want to watch a mindless movie that'll just tickle your early tickle you and very entertaining. Yeah. Watch Shawn Soccer. First time I watched Shallon Soccer, I watched it again. I ran down to your I ran down to Uncle Dan and Laura's house. Come back and watch this with me. I'm pretty sure I did. Uncle Dan, you can correct me. I'm sure he was just like, great.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. I bet he liked it.

SPEAKER_01

I'm sure he liked it.

SPEAKER_02

Describe the scene though.

SPEAKER_01

So the scene, this is the scene where Stephen Chow's character, I'm not even gonna go. They all have, they're all these Kung old Kung Fu brothers who now have like regular jobs now. Let's just say that. They're all washed up. And you almost even, at this point in the movie, you almost wonder if they even really know Kung Fu. And and this is like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon level, like X-Men.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, like flying through the air, anti-gravity.

SPEAKER_01

Crazy Kung Fu. Well, there's this scene where the coach is trying to get him. He he can kick the ball really hard, but he doesn't have any grace, he doesn't have any control. He's like wild things from from uh um major league. You ever see that? Nope, keep going. Okay, so this is what Leslie's here for to keep me going. And he so he gives him an egg. He says, You can't play with a soccer ball until you can kick this egg around without breaking it. So he throws the egg, lands on his foot. Cracks. Cracks on his foot. His brother, a small brother is what he calls him, lightweight. He comes running across the field.

SPEAKER_02

But he's not lightweight, he's a big old baby. He's a big boy. He's like sumo.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. And he's in kung fu hustle, too, I believe. I think he's his friend. He comes running around, running across the field. He sees the egg break on his foot. It was one of his eggs.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And he's screaming and it's slow motion, and he drops to the ground and starts eating it off of his foot, off of his shoe. Like eating the the broken egg off of the soccer cleat. And they they get him off of there, and it's just a ridiculous scene. And he gets they pull him away, and he's like crying because his eggs are gone. And the coach takes another egg and throws, let's try this again. He throws it and it hits Stephen Chow on his lap, and it cracks an egg on his lap, and the brother like breaks out of the people who are trying to hold him back and to go, and I I would guess it never happens, but he takes a egg off his lap. But the brother thinks fast and throws an egg in one of the other brothers' mouths, and then he s changes, he course corrects uh little brother, the big little brother wink wink, ironically speaking. Turns around, tackles the other brother with the egg in his mouth, and just starts eating the egg out of his mouth.

SPEAKER_02

So don't quote me. But I'm pretty sure the clip you sent me ended with him eating off of the shoe.

SPEAKER_01

Oh no.

SPEAKER_02

So that's gonna heavily influence the superlative that I thought this was winning.

SPEAKER_01

It doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. Okay. Well, would you like to know what I thought about?

SPEAKER_01

I would like to know, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I thought that Shaolin Soccer won the award for best use of a shoe as a plate in a movie.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's great. That's great. And I'm not even gonna say I wonder if somebody did that better, because there's no way.

SPEAKER_02

No way.

SPEAKER_01

No, that might be it. I I this is just honestly, it I it's it got the award for most passionate love for eggs as a food.

SPEAKER_02

Ah.

SPEAKER_01

Like I figured, like as birds.

SPEAKER_02

Well, as you continued the scene, I was like, well, maybe there's some lizards.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I was gonna go egg direction, but then I was like, shoo, it ended on the shoe, so well, that's why I was talking about pinkful mangoes, because Edie, if you haven't seen Pink Flamingoes, don't watch with your kids.

SPEAKER_02

Rob, don't. That's my tip for the day.

SPEAKER_01

There's an egg, the the egg lady. She's always screaming about eggs and she marries she marries the egg man. Sorry for the spoiler. Um, but I I really just want to talk about pinkful mangoes. But I love shallow in soccer, and uh there do you there you go. Let's move on.

Ever After And Spies Like Us

SPEAKER_02

All right, ever after, Cinderella story starring Drew Barrymore.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Uh I've never seen it.

SPEAKER_02

So I owned a VHS, and that was a big reason why I re-watched it. Because we did not have cable or satellite. And so, like in the summer when I was a teenager, I was home or whatever, I would just, you know, put a movie on and sit down and watch it, even if I'd already seen it a million times. So what do you think it won? So the scene that I sent you what was going on there. She her okay, so the house that she lived in, she's basically this is basically like a retelling of Cinderella. And she one of their um men like servants, the evil stepmother, sold him because of course they didn't have any money, and so they sold him and made it seem like he was a thief or whatever. So she was going and so sh she was like a servant herself or had been cast down like that as Cinderella is she dressed up like a proper lady to go and say that her she needed to get her servant back to save Oh, so she was hustling there. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

And then the prince came upon her and then they had their conversation. I figured she was a peasant, and then so one of my So she's not really a peasant, but she's treated like well, she's a servant in her own household, like Cinderella.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Oh, I see. I see what you're saying.

SPEAKER_02

But she was pretending to be someone she wasn't.

SPEAKER_01

I was gonna say something like Um If had this been real medieval Europe um award for you would be the one standing up for somebody in a cage, you would wind up in a cage yourself award.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, that's good.

SPEAKER_01

And then I thought there's also an award, uh oddly enough, it's called the Drew Barrymore Award for uh hot in one scene and not so hot in the other. Back and forth, back and forth. I thought she was hot here. She's a great line at Walmart.

SPEAKER_02

You haven't bought anything.

SPEAKER_01

I love Drew Barrymore. But she she is like uh I think uh I think that that as a as a whole, well, you know, she was in Freddie Got Fingered. She's pretty good looking in that.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Um I know it was another movie that I was seeing if it was I think I like Freddie Got Fingered too much for that to be irredeemable.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Um but she was yeah, she was married to uh Tom Green for a while.

SPEAKER_02

Yes. So back to the movie though. Okay, there's this that part at the end when she says, I'm afraid the only name I can leave you with is Nicole Delancre.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, what's that about?

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

I I was lost. I didn't know what to do.

SPEAKER_02

She won the award. You're not gonna believe this.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

For the best American accent speaking with a British accent, set in the 1600s, pronouncing her own name in a French accent with a cameo by a popular artist and inventor Da Vinci.

SPEAKER_01

Wow, that's pretty specific.

SPEAKER_02

It is the only thing I could ever remember about that is that her accent I felt was pretty bad for her like British. It was terrible, but then her mother's name was Nicole de Lancre, and she was French, and so then she's trying to say Nicole de Lancrey and she has to say it like 50 times during the movie because that's who people think she is once she introduces herself to Prince like that, and it's so bad.

SPEAKER_01

Is in this is that like part of the is that this kind of like part of the movie?

SPEAKER_02

No. Oh no, it's supposed to be good. Okay. She's just not very good at saying Nicole de Lancre.

SPEAKER_01

Is it a good movie?

SPEAKER_02

No, it's it's like a teen, you know, it was very much What was the movie with Heath Ledger where he was in the city?

SPEAKER_01

Ten Things I Hate Autos?

SPEAKER_02

Oh, first night or first. Was it first night? First night? I never saw it.

SPEAKER_01

Night's Tale.

SPEAKER_02

A Night's Tale.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I watched that. It was like I I enjoyed it. It was entertaining. But it okay. Okay, good. It was good.

SPEAKER_02

She was three accents deep. Yeah, she And losing a little with every iteration.

SPEAKER_01

Wasn't great.

SPEAKER_02

The only name I can leave you with is a good one. All right, go on, go on.

SPEAKER_01

Tom Green. Okay, okay. Uh let's uh Man, we gotta we have to fly. Okay, Spies Like Us.

SPEAKER_02

All right.

SPEAKER_01

This is the scene where the test scene? Yes. 1985, Spies Like Us, Chevy Chase. Have you seen Spies Like Us?

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. What's that look?

SPEAKER_02

It it's gonna influence my superlative.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay. This is pretty I'll give you a little hint. It's a pretty straightforward superlative.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Um it's the test taking scene where Chevy Chase walks in. I don't think I send you the full clip because he's like, sorry I'm late. I was in a meeting for a will. I didn't get any money. It's just like, and they're like stuck.

SPEAKER_02

And he's got a cast on.

SPEAKER_01

He's got a cast. He has a patch on he's behavior is just It's absolutely absurd. He farts in the beginning of it. He's gets up, he has a like a nervous breakdown while he's up screaming about how it's tests. He's trying to get Dan Aykroyd.

SPEAKER_02

Real quick question before I say what bribes the teacher in the in the beginning of it. What happens when the teacher like hits a button and these cameras come out?

SPEAKER_01

The cameras all come out and do they follow up on that? Or is it like Yeah, basically it's so the the just a five-second premise of the movie? These guys, Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase, are spies together. They think they're legit spies going over to like Pakistan or something to go on the Russians, and they get they're they end up being decoys for the real spies, but then they end up saving the day. They don't know that they're okay. And that's the angels in it.

SPEAKER_02

Um well maybe maybe my I'll have to rethink my what that what it won. But for me, it won scene most likely to convince me that I don't think I could watch this movie. I was so uncomfortable in that scene. What were you uncomfortable with? Because he was acting so crazy while they were taking a test, and I just kept thinking, like, why is everybody just letting him do this? It was it was like making me cringe.

SPEAKER_01

There are some pretty uncomfortable scenes in it where like, have you ever seen the bit you've I bet you've heard it before where the people are like, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor? They're like posing as doctors, and they have to do an appendectomy, but they don't know obviously. And there's like one scene where they're like getting tortured, and then he's like, I'll cut off a finger for every answer you give me that I don't like. He's like, wait, whose finger mine are yours? Like it's got a lot of those kind of jokes.

SPEAKER_02

Well, now that I know that they don't know that they're not the spies, that might make it easier to watch.

SPEAKER_01

But like I was watching that test scene, like thinking that he was Oh, you thought it was like maybe a kind of a like a bit of a less absurd movie?

SPEAKER_02

No, I just didn't know what to think about it, but it was like making me he was acting like such a a kind of a jerk dick sort of well he is. It's Jeffrey Chase. Yeah, well, now that I know that, maybe it was influencing after we watched uh community. But what did he w what did it really win?

SPEAKER_01

It just won uh best cheating on a test scene.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01

I I another one I I thought surely there's because I was gonna make it best cheating on a test with a fake arm and an eye patch or something stupid like that.

SPEAKER_02

But it like how all of mine have been.

SPEAKER_01

I love stupid, you know that. So, but they're not a lot of good test cheating on test scenes. There's like war games, but that's not really it's definitely the best one, I'm sure of it. Get school ties, maybe, but that's not really good. We gotta keep moving. Okay, okay, let's keep going.

Disney Dads And Final Movie Awards

So when I was little, I actually don't think I knew. I mean, I think I was confused. I think I thought he was her grandfather.

SPEAKER_01

He must be a grandfather.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but then she's calling him daddy. So and I've just always looked at it like, man, he's an old dad.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_02

I do have an old dad though, so he that's true.

SPEAKER_01

But then uh he's kind of hot. Yes, he's very hot. Um they say fish eaters, they're referring to humans. Yeah. What do they eat?

I've seen this scene a few times. So this is the scene where Henry Rollins is playing, he's he's I think this is I think this is even in like the plot synopsis, but like the the without the spoiler-free one, where he is Kane, like from the Bible. Uh and it's it's a it's like a gangster movie. It's pretty cool. It's like almost a little like the crow. Okay, I got I'll keep moving.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

25, 35.

SPEAKER_01

It's just it's hilarious because you know he's lived for thousands of years.

SPEAKER_01

And they're like, I did this for a while, several.

SPEAKER_01

Uh he's like uh prison. There's a lot of prison in there.

SPEAKER_02

And her eyes are just like confused because she's like, What? Like, because she of course doesn't know that he's like the original king.

SPEAKER_01

I've never been a waiter. She's like, Yeah, you'd be a terrible waiter.

SPEAKER_02

So my award was I think that it won an award for the most impressive resume. Oh yes, we each we got one of each so far. That's so exciting. Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, best resume in the movie. All right.

SPEAKER_02

So Star Wars Return of the Jedi. I sent you two clips that kind of go together. I could not find one that showed exactly what I was looking for.

SPEAKER_01

So But Return of the Jedi was the one because the first one was from New Hope. Or from sorry, the Cantina scene.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but that's his Cantina, right? It's Job of the Hut's place. Isn't it?

SPEAKER_01

Um I don't think so. Is it? Well, I thought Does he own it? Oh man, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know either. Gosh, I thought he did, because that's pretty important.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

We're gonna operate on as if Job of the Hut, that was his his own.

SPEAKER_01

I mean that's where he sees Hunt, right? That's where he meets Han the first time.

SPEAKER_02

In the in the cantina?

SPEAKER_01

Isn't he in the Well that's in the second that's in uh that's in uh Empire Strikes Back.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Anyway, and and Princess Leia is in her little slave outfit with a with Job of the Hut.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, is she? I didn't huh. I didn't I don't remember that.

SPEAKER_02

Alright, we ready?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

What do you think it was? You got nothing?

SPEAKER_01

Uh yeah, I got um uh most impressively diverse set of anthropomorphic characters in a movie set.

SPEAKER_02

Wow, I wish that's what it was. That's what it is. You did it!

SPEAKER_01

I was just really confused between the well, I think maybe I I'll be less confused when you tell me what it is.

SPEAKER_02

It's probably gonna be totally ridiculous if I'm because I'm probably blending two memories into one scene.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I was just like, these are two movies.

SPEAKER_02

Best human pet in a cantina.

SPEAKER_01

Was he in the cantina? Are you talking about the little rat guy? Oh, human pet. Right, right.

SPEAKER_02

She was in the there were wasn't she in there when there were people there.

SPEAKER_01

Gosh, I don't, I don't know. I don't think so. I thought the cantina was um Fire me from this podcast. I thought the Cantina was just uh Luke just shows up in the video. And that's where they met up. The first one before he meets Han, they shoots a guy.

SPEAKER_02

I thought that was I thought Jabba, when they went to see Jabba, I thought he was enjoying a I'm not saying no, I just don't remember. All right, comments, please help us out.

SPEAKER_01

I didn't think Jabba was even really shown until the second one.

SPEAKER_02

All right. It's been a while. It's been a while. Her in that costume with him is a core memory for me. I just was like, what's a core memory for a lot of people? Is this who is that gross booger? And what like she looks beautiful, but I don't this seems really like out of it's kind of disturbing. It's kind of yeah, and it's also a little out of the to me, it's a little outside like the what you would expect from the Star Wars universe.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

At at that time.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Well, George Lucas is a nerdy dude who's uh He was living his best life.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, for sure. You know what, Carrie? I got you this costume and this leash with the collar.

SPEAKER_01

She's like, I don't know. You're like, I have cocaine.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my gosh, she was Debbie Reynolds' daughter, and she isn't singing in the rain.

SPEAKER_01

This is this is random, but uh I love the way he's like he's like sleeping.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and then also he's like Yeah, it's a good puppet. This is really good.

SPEAKER_01

Java.

SPEAKER_02

Uh all right, you go. Okay, uh what uh you are up to he crocodile Dundee.

SPEAKER_01

Oh okay, yeah. So this is the scene, it's at the end. Sorry, a little spoiler here. But Mick, Mick Dundee, have you seen Crocodile Dundee?

SPEAKER_02

I've seen maybe one. My dad used to really like them, so I know they were on when I was home.

SPEAKER_01

It's an entertaining watch. It's an 80 staple. You pretty much gotta watch it. Um anyways, I won't review it. He is at the end. Uh I can't remember the woman's name. They actually got married in real life.

SPEAKER_03

Aww.

SPEAKER_01

And divorced. Um. So they she's le she was gonna marry somebody else. She decides she loves him. He's leaving, he's going on the subway. She tracks him down.

SPEAKER_02

And then the subway is so crowded.

SPEAKER_01

Subway so crowded.

SPEAKER_02

Just for the record, I was in New York City recently, and I never encountered a subway platform that had quite that many people on it. But what do I know?

SPEAKER_01

There's a lot of people waiting for that subway.

SPEAKER_02

There were.

SPEAKER_01

That subway was actually not a real subway. It used to be a real subway. They closed in 1975. Since then, they pretty much just do movie stuff in there. Like Joker was shot in there. That's cool. Yeah. Anyways.

SPEAKER_02

So she's shouting telephone style. She's like, Hey, I need that man in the hat. And so the guy closest to her, he calls out to the next guy down, and that guy sees Crocodile Dundee, and then he calls. So then they have this conversation back and forth, and uh and then they end up getting together.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's a pretty funny scene. It's not funny.

SPEAKER_02

So when they get together, it's my romance.

SPEAKER_01

I want to represent some romance in this.

SPEAKER_02

When they get together, then all the people in the subway are like rooting for them and everything.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, cheering.

SPEAKER_02

So I'm guessing that it is a scene most likely to have the audience clapping in the theater of the movie.

SPEAKER_01

Oh wow. No, you'd have to be.

SPEAKER_02

And then in parentheses, I wrote, and me leaving early.

SPEAKER_01

Well, it's the end, so you'd be getting to your car on top. No. Um you actually I'm gonna give you a second guess with a huge hint. You kind of got it while you were describing the scene.

SPEAKER_02

Telephone, best game of telephone.

SPEAKER_01

I was gonna go with the most impressive game of telephone in the movie. Yeah, yeah. I was gonna go with the book. The accuracy is amazing. I know it's just two guys in the middle.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know why the second guy changes it to first person. Because the the first guy's like, she says this, and then he's like, Why do you love me or whatever? Like instead of it.

SPEAKER_01

I think maybe he's in uh you know, I'd be honest with you. I don't think that guy was even a construction worker. I think he was more of a uh village people kind of guy.

SPEAKER_03

Dancer.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and he was just having fun. He's he did some some drama back in high school. He's like, I'm doing this. I'm gonna sell this, I'm gonna get these two get two together. That's right. Um, I was curious as to how they did the because he's like walking on people's heads. Like they it did there was just a beam. You can actually see the beam in the movie if you look real closely. You pause it at the right time. Anyways.

SPEAKER_02

Wow, it was the 80s of time to be alive.

SPEAKER_01

Did you see the second one?

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. I don't even remember that scene, so it's so cringy. I I hated it.

SPEAKER_01

It's the it's not the best movie.

SPEAKER_02

Uh alright. Um my final movie?

SPEAKER_01

Reginaldville Johnson's in it, though. So I missed that. Or the Lemo driver. Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Uh okay. My vinyl movie was Clueless. And the scene I sent you was the opening scene where Cher's like just like narrating, and then I'm this kind of person, and I do this, and I like this, and it's like the you know, kind of setting the stage for the movie. Here's all the cool stuff I have. Yeah. So what do you think that one, the award? And she's like getting ready for school.

SPEAKER_01

Um the uh teenage teenage girl choice award for the most enviable closet.

SPEAKER_02

I wrote Best Automated Closet. Yes. I love that movie.

SPEAKER_01

I'm sure everybody Yeah. Oh, you love the movie, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but yeah, I mean they nailed it with that. Like you were just saying, like, I wanted I wanted the outfit, I wanted it all.

SPEAKER_01

So I I I really I I watched that movie and when it came out, I saw it in theaters, and it was the first movie I ever went to where I really just I didn't wasn't interested in the movie at all. In fact, I was almost dreading it, but it there was just like I seen the trailer and there's a lot of really good-looking girls in it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and you're like, I I'll I can do this.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and I ended up really liking the movie. It's great. It's a great movie.

SPEAKER_02

Um what's her what's her boyfriend's name? Um Cher's boyfriend? Uh not Cher, uh Dion.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah. From Scrubs. Yeah. What's his name? I can't ever think of it.

SPEAKER_02

He's my favorite character in the entire He's pretty good. And the way that Dion talks to him. That's like my favorite sidekick dynamic right there.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we should talk about clueless sometimes. Good flick. HDO, same uh we should watch it. Same director did uh she did uh Fast Times of Regimont High, I think.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I liked how when we were listening to the rewatchables, I mean I've never listened to a full episode, but I liked it when they were like, what has aged poorly and what has aged well.

SPEAKER_03

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Did they do that in everyone? That would be fun to do on a clueless.

SPEAKER_03

Totally.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. All right. Your last movie is Ace Ventura 2.

SPEAKER_01

It was one of them, probably the first touch screens, too. Like I didn't think this is like what, 95?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I think I was in junior high, maybe.

SPEAKER_01

It's on borderline AI. Man, it's kind of advanced art.

SPEAKER_02

Video games. It's basically just wrote a video game for it. Yes. Okay. Ace Ventura 2.

SPEAKER_01

Ace Ventura 2.

SPEAKER_02

Describe the scene as briefly as you can.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Um fur, and there's a man with her. Ace Ventura's at a party, and there's a man with her, a very small man. I'm assuming for the sake of that shot that he does. Uh Jim Carrey must not be very strong. Um, anyways, she's wearing a fur. He's giving her crap for wearing a fur. Uh, and I don't remember the exact dialogue, but he punches the man who's accompanying her in the face after making references to her to him being the Monopoly guy. I think for the free parking. And he is walking around the party wearing this man as a like a boa. Is that am I using the right word? Yeah. And he says. And then he goes.

SPEAKER_02

I was like stepping on my headphone cord.

SPEAKER_01

And then at the very at the very end of the scene, he dips him, dips him, and then he like makes his talk. He's unconscious the whole time.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

He goes, Do not Basco. Do not collect. So cracks me up. That's my favorite thing.

SPEAKER_02

My favorite part of that scene. I mean, that was funny, but my favorite part of that scene was the beginning when he turns around and he has all that food all over his face. Yes. And then he just throws it on, and then he goes to people's plates and touches all their plates right before he goes to talk to the lady.

SPEAKER_01

So absurd.

SPEAKER_02

All right. I think that that one. This is pretty. I think I I think I might be right on the money with this one.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Best use of the Monopoly Man as a fur wrap.

SPEAKER_01

No, but it's definitely about that. And it's you're pretty close. Okay. But it's uh best and voluntary oppression of a mascot.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I like that. Yeah, that's a good one. I like that. You did good.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you, honey.

SPEAKER_02

That's a good one to end on that.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you so much.

Why We Cover Beltane Walk

SPEAKER_02

All right, let's switch gears. Okay. That was fun. I loved it.

SPEAKER_01

We we have uh I was telling uh Leslie we I I think I probably have enough of these to do. I didn't even do a single action movie. Can you believe it?

SPEAKER_02

No. Real quick, do you ever feel like we're like, well, I said this before where we're like, hey mom, look at us. Like when we'd say, I was telling Leslie, like we're literally in a basement alone talking to a camera and we're pretending there's people listening.

SPEAKER_01

It's like it's a little cringy. It is a little, yeah, it totally is.

SPEAKER_02

But we're gonna keep doing it. So anyway.

SPEAKER_01

I like it.

SPEAKER_02

You were telling me what we could do it again?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I have I could do this. Like, we would probably honestly just make a podcast, but this is all we do. I've seen a lot of movies.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I've thought of another idea for a podcast since we were sitting here for another show.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Not another podcast, but another show. But do you want me to tell you on air?

SPEAKER_03

Sure.

SPEAKER_02

All right. I'm I would come up with several prompts, and then you would be challenged to describe those things in 30 seconds or less.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's not even fair.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, but it would be gold. It would be gold.

SPEAKER_01

I can't.

SPEAKER_02

I can't do anything.

SPEAKER_01

The whole the entire reason for me to need this.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I would let you have extra consumption corner at the beginning. We could just do we could do it for just 10 minutes. Just 15, 25, 35, 45.

SPEAKER_01

I hate brevity. I like it in other people.

SPEAKER_02

Anyway, all right. Let's move on. We are doing Beltane Walk by T-Rex.

SPEAKER_01

By T-Rex, which is pretty much Mark. Well, this T-Rex is a is a full band.

SPEAKER_02

How do you say his last name?

SPEAKER_01

Bolin.

SPEAKER_02

Bolin.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I'm pretty sure. I actually know.

SPEAKER_02

It looks like it, but I didn't know.

SPEAKER_01

But yeah, Mark Bolin and then uh Mickey Fenn. Mickey Fenn, you did you see the the cover of that?

SPEAKER_03

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01

Uh where they're both kind of standing next to each other. Yeah. Mickey Fenn is the drummer. Okay. He's like the only at the time anyway, he was like the only, I think, actual set member of the band.

SPEAKER_02

Well, because here's the thing. I watched a top of the pops episode. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, hot with uh Hot Love.

SPEAKER_02

Did you see who was playing the piano in the one in the one that I saw? No. Elton John. Are you serious? Yeah, and it was on. How'd I miss that? I'll sh I'll send it to you.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Elton John is on the piano.

SPEAKER_01

Man. Um so yeah, he he paired up with uh with Visconti. Uh was it Tony Visconti? I think so.

SPEAKER_02

Sounds good, yummy.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it does. It's a delicious last name. Um, who's the one who did that guy is super talented. He uh he did it's either Tommy or Tony, but Visconti is the last name. But he worked with David Bowie. David Bowie, Bowie and Bolan were kind of like not head to head, but they're the whole weird glam rock kind of for sure. Like like Bolan's T-Rex is is credited for kind of starting glam rock. That's why I sent that video. Yeah, where he's got the tear, like the glittery tears and the set and jump.

SPEAKER_02

The everything. Everything the the presence of yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And his voice is just it's great. He's so wild, he's super, super prolific.

SPEAKER_02

He was there were so many songs that I like listened to it in Essentials, and I was like, this is them. This is this, this is yeah, I had no idea. They're just like staples of oldies that are like kind of rock staples.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's the cool that's I I love it.

SPEAKER_02

That's what Gilton Joe was playing on, was get it on.

Glam Rock Origins And T-Rex Context

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah. Gotcha. It's it's this like you know, like I made the David Bowie comparison, but I love it because it's this it's 50s music basically, but it's got oh just a really crazy subject matter. Like he's singing about fantasy land.

SPEAKER_02

Well, yeah, what is he singing about in this song? I have no idea.

SPEAKER_01

Well, uh we'll talk about a little bit. I know a little bit about it. It's funny because we go, it's it's it's basically like a pagan, a reference to like what the something they would a community uh community festival they would have done like Stonehenge or something. Bell Beltane. That's like yeah, uh it's like purification through fire, okay, but finding love and through community, that kind of thing, or something like that. Just like that. Yeah, just something that kind of stuff. Super straightforward. But he he he got his roots in like folksy he's had he had 12 studio albums. He died in a car crash.

SPEAKER_02

I know, I saw that.

SPEAKER_01

Um 12 12 like proper studio albums in a what a nine year period. He was doing his own thing.

SPEAKER_02

Jeez, 12 in nine years.

SPEAKER_01

The guys who who who worked with him musically over the years said that he just never had like a lot of people dry up when they're songwriting and he just always had more. He just cigar just like it's just a valid.

SPEAKER_02

You know what? He seems like he doesn't have a lot of um parameters on what's okay. Like he didn't he wasn't real self conscious. Right. And I feel like if you are don't really care about stuff like that, then you probably are more open to just sharing what's in your head.

SPEAKER_01

Totally. I you probably see on the outside. Yeah, but like I he's probably the guy kind of guy who had just compulsively had to. You know, I don't know, I'm taking some liberties there with what I know, but reading about him. A little bit and just just a just uh is that uh talk faster?

SPEAKER_02

I was like, I love you. We're having a foot tap off screen because we're marrying.

SPEAKER_01

For those of you who uh aren't watching, who are just listening, there's a foot tap.

SPEAKER_02

No one can see it, even the people that are watching. It's a secret foot tap.

SPEAKER_01

For those of you who aren't actually here in our basement, it's the clutter and the triples.

SPEAKER_02

Hey.

SPEAKER_01

Just kidding, it's clean. It is on the other side. It is on the other side, it looked great on the other side.

SPEAKER_02

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

We did that this week too.

SPEAKER_02

All right, back to T-Rex.

SPEAKER_01

So T-Rex, he um, yeah, he was. I guess uh Viscani saw him, he'd seen him perform. It was just like this guy's a genius. I'm going to but he Viscani's the one who added all the strings and would he's basically, I'm just gonna make this guy sound good. He's gonna do his thing, and I'm just gonna posture him up and make him like I I wouldn't say George Martin kind of guy with the Beatles, but because I think George Martin was a bit more of a creative force. I think Viscani was more not that he's not creative, he's a great musician in his own right, but he he's the one who added all the strings of this song and the kind of kept that uh just the pace of it and the feel. Yeah, this is one of my favorite songs of all time. Uh it's definitely my favorite T-Rex song. Beltane Walk is probably one of my favorite songs, like maybe top 10, top 20 for sure.

SPEAKER_02

It's a great fun song. I never heard it before.

SPEAKER_01

It's a blue shuffle.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Mixed with my favorite chord progression of all time, the one we use in our theme song, the do-wop. What do you what do you call that?

SPEAKER_02

One 1645, I think.

SPEAKER_01

1645. 16 minor 4'5.

SPEAKER_02

It's like the uh heart and soul. Do do do yeah, or Muppet Babies, if you will. Oh, is that Muppet Babies?

SPEAKER_01

But it I I thought there would be more, so I could not find another song that did a blue shuffle into a uh do-op chord progression, changing keys, too. Yeah, it changes keys, but it sounds like it should change keys.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, what is going on there? I don't know. I would be absolutely lying and just talking out my you know what if I acted like I knew. So the only so it's in the key of E major. It starts and ends in E major. That's usually you're tell what key it's in. But the chorus is in C major. And the only commonality that's in the chorus back to the verse is the A minor. Right before you when you have you have C, A minor, F, G, then C A minor, E. That's how the chorus goes.

Chords Key Change And Strings

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it takes you back to the E.

SPEAKER_02

Well, if you were an A minor and you wanted to you could use an E major. And then that so the A minor and the E major. Like the A the E would be the five of the A minor.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

But in this case it just takes you, it's just using the A minor to take you back to the E. I don't know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

We need someone more more uh Is that like five so that's like five of five but with them in a minor key?

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_01

That's not even the same thing. No. Okay. I don't know what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_02

You know, I and I don't really know that there's anything to do.

SPEAKER_01

But it just works really well.

SPEAKER_02

It sounds like it they use I mean there's some commonalities in the A minor and the E because they both have an E in them.

unknown

Gosh.

SPEAKER_02

And they use I think they use the A minor to get back to the E. Then there's also there's also, you know, it's popular to take the in a major key the third chord of the on the third, like in the key of C, E's the third note. Okay. That's a minor. But it's also popular to make that a major. We've done that many times. So whatever you want to call that, they're kind of doing that backwards.

SPEAKER_01

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_02

Or it's a flat six in the key of E. Is that would that be the C sharp and but it goes to C. But it wouldn't be major, it wouldn't be minor.

SPEAKER_01

But then the whole chorus just follows suit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So see, I don't know. I don't have an answer.

SPEAKER_01

Like I said, the cool part is it's not because you know a lot of times when you hear a key change or you hear it's kind of almost even if it's good, it's a little bit of a jar, like kind of jarring.

SPEAKER_02

I think they must use the melody um to to do that.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. I was gonna say in the common notes. If you want to win a song, it's almost cheating, put strings in it, right?

SPEAKER_02

Like you and like poppy strings. Like this wasn't like dramatic. These are like fun.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and Mickey Finn on the drums, he's keeping it going. He's super simple, but it's it's it's it's got it sounds like a walk. It sounds like you're walking. And it's this guy's going to like it. I love the lyrics. Like, again, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_02

Well, it's a walking bass line, that's why they call it that.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that makes sense.

SPEAKER_02

Not I mean, really, it's because you're walk literally walking from one note to another.

SPEAKER_01

The little riff, the boom, pff, boom, pff, boom, don't, don't, don't. It's such a it's this song sounds like I've heard this song a million times, but I don't think I ever have. Like, I again the structure I never heard it before. No, but I mean like the lyrics are obviously incredibly unique, but two very again, it sounds like the the the bones of a song that I've heard 20 times, but I think it's just because there's a million blue songs, a million doo-wop songs, but he's combined them both and talked about he's a big, I think he was a big like Tolkien fan, C.S. Lewis, and was big enough fan because Beltane, he talks about Beltane and um uh Ride the Right Swan, I think, I think, of Ride the White Swan, which is also on that album. So he kind of does like a little bit of a kind of building, just kind of loose lore. Like the Cosmere or something. And but I love the he's like he's just going on this little jaunt to I saw this guy and I saw this girl, and she's God still. I love this use of star hide. Yeah, whatever that. I don't know what it is, but it's just so weird. And the way he's give us love, give us little loves.

SPEAKER_02

I I wondered if you were gonna give a little shout out to Dennis because there's a little bit of a Dennis, a little for you. We picked the song for you, Dennis.

SPEAKER_01

And he uh pre-michael Jackson stuff. He sounds a little like Nico and uh Velvet Velvet Underground or like um Colin Bluntstone from uh the zombies. The you know the Odyssey and Oracle.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

That that singer, he he kind of has that like a little bit of a little bit of a lisp, but like um not but not enough to actually be one. Yeah, it's it's uh he's just really unique. Uh I love I love uh most of the stuff he's done.

SPEAKER_02

Uh it sounds like he's having a great time singing it. Yeah, I listening to a recording.

SPEAKER_01

It's kind of like a sort of thing. Like you don't often yeah, like almost like in a Jimmy Page way, like a good way. But like even playing it is like I screwed up. I'm like, I don't care. Like I I love this song. I I thanks for doing it with me. You were you nailed it on the so Leslie played keys. I played it I played acoustic guitar. I used a synth sound, though I wasn't like yeah, she played like a it was like a string kind of but I mean you you nailed it.

SPEAKER_02

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

The string kind of I don't want to say they make the song, but they were really great.

SPEAKER_02

Call for did you listen to any covers and give any cover awards?

SPEAKER_01

There aren't many covers.

SPEAKER_02

I saw some Asian guys.

SPEAKER_01

I didn't watch any of them, but give me a sec, let me switch tabs here.

SPEAKER_02

Uh at you and your cute little device.

SPEAKER_01

Isn't that cute? Um Yeah, Bell Tane Wall covers blooding blooding mask, blooding, probably blooding. Um I said it scared me a little bit, kind of some unsettling harmonies. I didn't really like it.

SPEAKER_02

I'll have to listen to that.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know if what that means. Um honestly, just it wasn't my sorry blooding mask. Sorry, blooding mask. Hey, kudos to you though, for uh we share a common bond and and our love for for the songs.

SPEAKER_02

Maybe they would only cover songs they hate. You don't know.

SPEAKER_01

This was kind of before Glamrock, by the way. This is that um this is kind of almost folksy, sort of. Like her stuff is a bit more folksy. Uh Gabby Moreno, maybe that's who you were thinking of. That's the only other one I could find.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I saw I didn't watch it, but I saw a group of Asian friends.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, man, what's it?

SPEAKER_02

And it was in Chinese, like it was in character, so I don't think it's Chinese.

SPEAKER_01

Sure. I follow you. I won't, I won't, I won't skin you for that. I liked I liked uh her version a lot. Female vocalist, great strings on it. They weren't doing the same thing, they were doing something completely different. Maybe something I didn't watch that either. I really liked it. It almost kind of had like a sluggish kind of sama groove to it. Really cool. Um did and you yeah, you you mentioned the uh might have been Mandarin folks doing it. Maybe not. Okay. I didn't say Mandarin, you did, but I think oranges. For oranges. I could go for some mandarin oranges.

SPEAKER_02

No, we can just peel them right while we're working here.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, peel. I was talking about out of a can. I want to drink the juice.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah. That's those are the good old days. When's the last time you had that?

SPEAKER_01

It's been a minute.

SPEAKER_02

And did you ever cut your mouth on that?

SPEAKER_01

I think I have, yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I have.

SPEAKER_02

Peeling that off the back of that lid.

SPEAKER_01

Don't they put cherries in there too?

SPEAKER_02

You can get them with that, but I don't it's not for me.

SPEAKER_01

Do you have a um you want to talk about uh B sides?

Covers B-Sides And Dream Versions

SPEAKER_02

Sure.

SPEAKER_01

Do you want to talk about anything else about this song?

SPEAKER_02

I got my B side. Mr. Bright Side by the Killers.

SPEAKER_01

Like it.

SPEAKER_02

Thank you. Nice. I almost went with uh I believe in a thing called Love by the Darkness. Is that what the Darkness is? Might have been a better one. But I just like Miss I just like the Killers a lot. And I I actually sometimes if I can't think of who I would want to put on a B side, I'll go to a playlist that's like inspired by and see who's on there. Killers was the first one, and I had already thought of the killers, and I was like, well, me and Apple we're on the same, we're on the same wavelength, so I'm going for it.

SPEAKER_01

Nice. What about you?

SPEAKER_02

What's your B side?

SPEAKER_01

Man, um I I I I I don't I okay. I was gonna I'm gonna say ELO, sweet talking woman.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I like that. Yeah, ELO's a great B side for that.

SPEAKER_01

It's kind of they got again more strings. I love ELO. Yeah. Yeah. In fact, their ELO might just kind of run the show on the next couple.

SPEAKER_02

Well let's hear that then.

SPEAKER_01

So if I can hear anybody cover the song, originally I had I was kind of going between between because I've been listening to a lot of BB King lately, um, who's kind of plays real melodically. I've taken the blue shuffle, uh-huh. Right. Who better than to give it to BB King? But then I was trying to find a song where he might have done like a 50s chord progression, see what he does. Couldn't find any. Uh in fact, I couldn't find like really any blues guys doing that. Um, of course, what's a blues guy? We could have that conversation, but we're not going to.

SPEAKER_02

Um I'm very, very unqualified.

SPEAKER_01

I like Bobby Wilmack a lot. He's got some cool, he's kind of got a little bit of like, I'm looking for a love groove to it. But then I thought, you know, traveling willberries. Roy Orbison, who the 50s, dude, dude, he could he would crush that hook. You got all those dudes could play blues. You got Jeff Lynn would be the Visconti kind of polish on it. Because he Jeff Lynn's the one who produced Wilberries and Harrison. That's how they met up.

SPEAKER_02

Well, who's Elizabeth? Dan ELO.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, yeah. Yeah. I thought Wizard, too, because that's that so Ron Wood was with Jeff Lynn in the original ELO, and then he went off to go the move, which is like an English band that never really made it over here for some reason. They're pretty good. And they did Wizard. We've listened to Wizard before. Glam rock, but like a bit harder, kind of honestly, probably weirder glam rock. They would dress up and stuff and uh um costumes, but they did they did a lot of 50s kind of sound.

SPEAKER_02

Cool.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, excuse me. But yeah, I'm gonna go with uh travelbury's.

SPEAKER_02

All right, well, I'd like to have an instrumental cover by the Glenn Miller uh oh like a big band type. Yeah, that'd be sweet. Wouldn't it?

SPEAKER_01

Great idea. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I got the idea from the bass line. I thought it'd be fun to hear that, like with low brass. And then of course the strings are already in it, and then you could have like trumpets playing the melody and just kind of getting swingy with it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Cool.

SPEAKER_02

All right.

SPEAKER_01

I'd listen to that all day. Soundtrack. Would instrumental on that, or would that be Yeah, we'll just do an instrumental.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, let the let the horns or like a like a sax or a clarinet have some melodies. Nice. They could trade them back and forth in the verse and chorus. Come on, Glenn Miller, you can come to our concert.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, totally. Uh absolutely.

SPEAKER_02

All right. So if you could Oh, the other reason I thought of it is because you know, in the mood, yeah. They double the parts a lot. Yes. There's like the whole whole orchestra is playing the same notes. You don't hear that very often, but then they do that with the bass line. Yeah. And they add the extra octave. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Gotta do the drums. I love the drums on that. It's so exciting.

SPEAKER_02

So that was the other, that was the other thing I thought of. Playing it in octaves would be they're already doing that.

SPEAKER_01

Excellent. I think by the way.

SPEAKER_02

I feel like it did so good today.

SPEAKER_01

I love that he talks about I love that I love it when the song sounds like he's bopping. Yeah, it's like he sounds like the whirlpool. It's such a cool song, man. I love it.

SPEAKER_02

I feel like I could see your brother uh bopping down by a whirlpool to this song. Don't you think?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I'm sure Joe would like this too. Yeah. Yeah.

Soundtrack Picks And Closing Thoughts

SPEAKER_02

Uh soundtrack.

SPEAKER_01

Soundtrack. If this could be the soundtrack for a movie uh or show or anything. Well, it's gonna be crocodile dundee too.

SPEAKER_02

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_02

All I can think of is like underwear. Crocodile done crocodile dundee dunderwear.

SPEAKER_01

Uh crocodile dundee too is I enjoyed it very much as a kid. I could, but pretty confident it's not didn't hold up very well. But I I have fond memories of it. Go ahead. He gets entangled with a Colombian drug lord of some kind. I don't remember. But anyways, he's in Australia and he goes on a walkabout, and there's this thing, he's got, of course, like tight with a bunch of Aborigines around there, and they and they uh there's like this kind of didgeridoo sort of sound. And whenever I hear Mark Bowler go, and then we'll walk out. That's what you hear. That's what you see. I love it. That's like this cock too, right there. Done too.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I thought it would be a great soundtrack for Captain Jack Sparrow.

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Just like that. Because I mean, isn't he kind of a bowie? Isn't he who's or McJer? Like, what was his what did John uh Johnny Depp kind of based him on?

SPEAKER_01

Like, I mean, probably Keith Richards was literally in the movie. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Um But I thought, I thought, because he's always like kind of staying around.
