We drink a mystery drink and discuss cursed objects while reading the action packed sequel to the Robin William's hit Mrs. Doubtfire.

Transcript

SPEAKER_03 0:09

Mrs Doubtfire two Made of Steel Written by Jordan Wisdowski Interior A Large Studio Midtake A few millabout taking care of things, but mostly everyone watches. The studio head, the producers, the director, the crew, a small audience of children, all eyes are on the set, made to look like the warm, cozy living room of a kind older woman, and watching Daniel Hillard perform as Euphagenia Doubtfire. Everyone watches. Daniel's daughter Lydia holds a small child of her own. This child cannot take their eyes off Mrs. Doubtfire. Miranda stands with Stu and their son Monty watches. Natalie and Chris stand off to the side whispering and making each other laugh, but they still keep their eyes on their father. And that's why you should never trust a monkey. Everyone laughs. A ratty old monkey puppet sitting on the couch.

SPEAKER_08 1:08

Hey now!

SPEAKER_03 1:09

Oh quiet you. If you behave, we're time for one more letter. The puppet's mouth does that embarrassed puppet pucker. Mrs. Doubtfire pulls a small envelope from her bag. Ah, one more. This one comes from Emily, age seven.

SPEAKER_02 1:28

Emily writes, Mrs. Doubtfire, my birthday is in two weeks. Well, a very happy birthday, Emily. But this will be the first one without my dad.

SPEAKER_03 1:42

However, we resurrect Robin Williams really nails this next bit. It's a performance that makes it feel like Daniel might be reading this letter for the first time, and so it blindsides him with how much he is affected. But because he's so good, it's almost better than we saw little Daniel and Mrs. Doubtfire this time. And this is a large studio production, so it's definitely scripted.

SPEAKER_02 2:04

Oh Emily. He would always do my hair when I wanted to look like a princess. And he called my birthday the most important day of the year. Everyone says he is in a better place. But what's better than being with your princess on the most important day of the yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:27

Mrs. Doubtfire wipes a tear out of her eye with a handkerchief.

SPEAKER_02 2:31

Such a big question for such a small envelope. You see, grown-ups have a habit of trying to make hard things sound soft for children. We say better because the truth feels sharp and fragile, and we don't want to have to hold that something so sharp and fragile. You're right. If it is a better place, why can't you visit him on the weekends? Why can't he come see you on your birthday? Why can't you call just to hear his voice? Your father has died. Emily the letters I'm going to get about this one. And when someone dies they aren't coming back. Their chair is empty, they don't answer when you call and that hurts. And that hurt is love. Because if you didn't love them so much it wouldn't hurt so hard. And when it hurts you remember them. Little things about them. A word they would say, a joke they would tell, a perfect royal title for a perfect little princess. And then one day you'll hear or see one of those memories echoed in something that you do. And you will remember them still because you are the person you are because they loved you. That's how love works. It doesn't vanish when they're gone, it doesn't pop like a balloon. It travels. It finds new places to live. So when they say he is in a better place, perhaps it's because they see so much of him in you.

SPEAKER_03 4:28

During this long monologue, there has been a masterful transition that moved from a tender close-up on Doubtfire's face into a wide of a set, as if we're seeing it from the POV of a studio camera. This shot changes in resolution a bit as we then zoom out farther and realize we are Exterior Street, outside Prometheus flagship and headquarters.

SPEAKER_02 5:06

And that's a lot, isn't it, especially when you're seven? But you're all stronger than we give you credit for. And sometimes we need to start trusting children with things we don't trust ourselves with.

SPEAKER_03 5:18

The video cuts dramatically, and the overpolished face of Stu's son Monty, now an older Elon Musk type, comes on screen. No one took care of family like Mrs. Doubtfire. She cooked, cleaned, told jokes, sang, and gave advice. And we miss her. And that's why here at Prometheus, we want to bring the warmth and functionality of Doubtfire into each and every home. So she can be a part of your family again. Chris grits his teeth, looks up the towering monolith before him, and he walks into the Prometheus headquarters.

SPEAKER_08 6:08

Get the Bible ready!

SPEAKER_04 6:14

Lab at your Speaker Tone.

SPEAKER_03 6:21

I was just wondering. Assuming, you know, with um unlimited resources, like what would your ideal podcast cave look like? Just the cave where I listen to all my favorite podcasts? No, the ki the cave where you're recording.

SPEAKER_02 6:41

I've never even dreamed about that. Just a den for listening to There's a lot of people that think about it.

SPEAKER_03 6:47

Yes, studio, your your ideal studio den.

SPEAKER_02 6:51

This is not it. This uh three mics screwed into a glass coffee table in a hot living room. In a hot living room.

SPEAKER_03 6:59

I mean I'll never forget. I'll never forget, but I'm just um I just want to like picture like this is something that a psychiatrist would ask a uh a you know a serial killer that was a podcaster, you know, to get to know more about.

SPEAKER_02 7:12

And if they answered like they if the all they said was like, well, I need to replace this mic with this mic and get this taken care of and then do this and this and this and this and this, then they'd be like, okay, that man is psychotic tenants.

SPEAKER_03 7:24

Exactly, exactly. And have like weird facial ticks. And like a lot of people would just be like, Well, I'd have like a really big, like, uh glow-in-the-dark pizza poster behind me.

SPEAKER_02 7:35

I would have one of those uh finger electricity things that you would find in a 90 Spencer's.

SPEAKER_07 7:41

Yes. Those are nice.

SPEAKER_02 7:43

Yeah, and then people might think you're a wizard.

SPEAKER_07 7:45

Yeah, it has a nice touch. Homey touch. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 7:50

You're kind of wizard-coated shrimps. Do you have any wizard affectations in your home?

SPEAKER_07 7:56

Uh like wizardly material.

SPEAKER_02 7:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 7:59

I do have a lot of magic books.

SPEAKER_02 8:01

I mean, that sounds incredible.

SPEAKER_03 8:04

That's that's on brand.

SPEAKER_07 8:06

Um a couple cursed artifacts that I believe are cursed. I fear them.

SPEAKER_03 8:12

Can you take us through some one of these artifacts?

SPEAKER_02 8:15

Cabinet of curiosities.

SPEAKER_07 8:17

And the magic books are all like not like wizard magic, but like magic tricks.

SPEAKER_02 8:24

Well, that's what they appear to the layman. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 8:29

You can read the invisible ink. They're not.

SPEAKER_03 8:32

The language beyond language. Yeah, the sigils.

SPEAKER_07 8:35

Um, Curse Artifacts. I have two, at least two. One is a Ouija board classic. Okay. That I bought, but it's more the context that I bought it in, is what makes me hear it a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 8:49

You bought it from Jeffrey Dahmer.

SPEAKER_07 8:51

Yes. No, I bought it um at a like oddities flea market type of thing. And at those things, if you've ever been, like everything is like super expensive, like all the taxidermy and even just like the bones, like the nut bones and stuff is like really expensive. Um but the Ouija board was like way cheaper than everything else. It was like 25 bucks. Oh, it's like random vendor. And it's like an antique one from like I asked when it was from I'm not for sure, but it was like probably from the 50s. And it's got this crazy like white, like bleached spot, a couple spots like in the middle of it, like ectoplasmic little spots where something could have potentially emerged.

SPEAKER_03 9:35

Perhaps orbs passed through.

SPEAKER_07 9:37

Yeah, either that or someone blasted a huge load on it.

SPEAKER_03 9:40

Yeah, or that's what comes out of ghosts when they do that.

SPEAKER_07 9:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:44

Yeah, or you just fold it in like quarter pieces over the course of 60 years.

SPEAKER_07 9:49

No, it's not foldable. It's unfoldable. No, it's made it's made of wood. It's like uh or at least like particle board. But it's not it's not a fold up one. It's very nice, hefty. They didn't they don't make them like that anymore.

SPEAKER_03 10:00

That's really fucking spooky. And I love it. It I would almost love it more if you went over to try and buy it, and the guy was like, Oh, it's not for sale.

SPEAKER_07 10:07

Yeah. And then I was like, Well, what about 25 bucks? And then he said, Alright.

SPEAKER_02 10:11

You put it under your arm, and there's a fucking demon locked inside.

SPEAKER_07 10:14

As a matter of fact, I am trying to get rid of this because it's cursed.

SPEAKER_02 10:17

So um, but yeah, that's I thought one of your magic books was cursed. The like coin uh trick one.

SPEAKER_07 10:23

I just love that one. It's just a old one.

SPEAKER_02 10:24

It's about coin tricks from hell. Yes. Oh wow.

SPEAKER_07 10:27

That is true, but it's not cursed. Um, and then I have a book. Both of the cursed items came to me by way of being cheap because this was also something that was underpriced for where I saw it. And I was like, oh, it was$3.50,$3.50 at like a antique mall and in Pennsylvania. And they had, you know, just a lot of books, and they had this book called Possession and Exorcism, which is a book that is referenced in the Exorcist, the book of The Exorcist, as the like kind of like not the Bible, but like the encyclopedia of possession and exorcism cases and what to do from different cultures. So it is a very interesting uh anthropological book. Yeah. But um, it's in the exorcist. That's why I bought it because I felt like it was like a movie, horror movie memorabilia, because the priest and the exorcist uses this book as reference when he's like, I don't believe that this is a possession item to like books and stuff like that. Yeah. And then when I went and bought it, the guy that I was checking out with, he was like, Oh, this is the book from the exorcist. I said, I know.

SPEAKER_03 11:37

He also said PTW, it's cursed. Yeah. Yeah, he also said six dollars and sixty six cents. Yeah, when you pick it up and you hear a B sound, that's normal. That's a that's a feature in Autobug.

SPEAKER_07 11:48

Yeah. It's got like the front of it, it must have been in well, maybe it wasn't a new or edition, but it's got like the Pazuzu statue from the Exorcist, like on the cover. It's very spooky and the pages, the bond and not the binding. But the page edges are like red. It's very it has an incredible amount of aura.

SPEAKER_03 12:05

And every time you look at it, like a clock just like stops.

SPEAKER_07 12:08

Yeah, I'm genuinely afraid to throw it out. I've had moments where I started thinking about it too much, and I was like, in every movie I've seen, when they just try and get rid of the cursed item, it's it's too late. So then I would be like still cursed, and now I won't have this book.

SPEAKER_02 12:22

Yeah, also if you're ever thinking about that, gimme that curse. Give me that curse. I want that curse.

SPEAKER_07 12:28

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 12:28

You're thinking about that? You think about I was thinking about naming my daughter Pazoozoo.

SPEAKER_07 12:33

It's a beautiful name.

SPEAKER_03 12:34

It's actually kind of bull, like, lovely.

SPEAKER_02 12:36

Um I would I mean, it's cute. I was thinking that it was like half cookie, half pizza, like that kind of thing. Pazookie. Oh, pazuki. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:49

Or like half bazooka, even like bubblegum.

SPEAKER_07 12:55

Yeah. Pazuzu.

SPEAKER_03 12:57

Yeah, you know, honestly, and even uh that carburetent azuzu. That could have been curse as well. It could have been named by an ancient Sumerian demon. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 13:06

It's also kind of just like it sounds like baby's talk for pizza. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:13

Oh, he wants his Pazuzu. He wants his Legion of Demons.

SPEAKER_02 13:17

I would want that book so that if the demon came after me, I would be have a breakdown and I'd be like, okay, well, I need to get this urban.

SPEAKER_07 13:27

Yeah. I understand that it's irrational because if there was a book to be cursed, it probably wouldn't be the one that explains how to get rid of the curse.

SPEAKER_02 13:34

Maybe it is, and then the person who knows has the knowledge is forever burdened with this curse.

SPEAKER_03 13:41

I think the only thing that doesn't track is that books are the things that are still haunted or demonic. I feel like in this day and age It's MP3s. It's MP3s, it's websites, it's GeoCities domains.

SPEAKER_07 13:58

Uh Undertone just came out not that long ago. Yeah. It was very scary, and it is essentially about it's like a creepypasta, like a cursed YouTube video, cursed epithet.

SPEAKER_00 14:09

Yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_07 14:10

It's scary. And that's the future. Cursed digital downloads.

SPEAKER_02 14:16

Uh we're in a cyberpunk game right now, and they believe that like hell is the internet, and when they cut essentially like humanity off from this network, they like built a wall that is now keeping hell at bay, and now all of humanity exists on like a closed network. And the internet that was before is like some chaos space that just is run rampant with like disgusting AI and stuff.

SPEAKER_03 14:45

So they're trying to like keep it out, like K-pop demon hunter style. Yeah. That's that's great.

SPEAKER_02 14:51

It's a cool concept.

SPEAKER_03 14:52

I really like that one a lot.

SPEAKER_02 14:54

Welcome to Squeakels. It's a sequel podcast. We haven't done this yet. It's also a lifestyle podcast. We have three tenants here.

SPEAKER_03 15:02

Jude, if you would like to I would like to say that we believe in every individual's ability to to gump up, uh, to join a collective gump and to one day reach a period of peace and harmony where we collectively ascend to gumpism. We believe in the power of the voice. We listen to the voice. Um and the third one is That's the one I'm always forgetting. It's probably rocking out with your cock out. Yeah. I love rocking out.

SPEAKER_07 15:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:41

My cock is out. Is it the one that you hate Jim Henson? No. That's my own. Oh, that's your own lore. That's Jordan Lore.

SPEAKER_02 15:49

That is the curse I carry with me. That is a curse. Uh I swear vengeance against uh Jim Henson, but sadly it is now passed along to his line, his kin. I love them, but my uh oath of vengeance will send me hurtling towards you it.

SPEAKER_06 16:04

An oath is an oath. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:07

Sorry. Could that be considered like a legitimate threat?

SPEAKER_03 16:12

Oh, an oath is an oath? Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 16:14

This is a satirical podcast.

SPEAKER_03 16:16

Yeah, oh, I was just following oath. It's like I was just following orders, but I just had to follow the oath. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_07 16:24

More biblical.

SPEAKER_03 16:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:25

How can they argue with that?

SPEAKER_07 16:29

Legally?

SPEAKER_01 16:30

Legally?

SPEAKER_07 16:30

They can argue with it in a lot of ways. Spiritually, you're I think you're good.

SPEAKER_03 16:38

Is there a movie where um the the guy from uh Nick Offerman plays a sovereign citizen? Yeah, sovereign. What is that? That was boring. I didn't see it. Oh, I didn't like it. Oh, okay. I was almost gonna watch it last night, actually. What? Really? Are you serious? Something's in the air.

SPEAKER_02 16:57

Yeah. Nick Offerman is rid of it. You know, it's the it's the smell of like leaves burning now, once again.

SPEAKER_03 17:06

Yeah. Bringing it back. Just like sense memory. You're you're back on that.

SPEAKER_02 17:10

Well, whenever I hear like or smell yard work being done, fresh cut grass, woodworking, the smell of sawdust, you know, that little burn of the wood too.

SPEAKER_03 17:18

How does Nick Offerman? How does he translate to like the woodworking space? Is he like a highly respected, or are you like, fuck this guy? He's not real. I have no clue. I've just got even thought about.

SPEAKER_02 17:30

I watch this like guy on YouTube sometimes, and he's like, I tried six more carpentry hacks from TikTok. Uh, and on his like um wall he has like the hope poster, but it's like Nick Offerman, and it says it should just say bacon, but it says like in Ron we trust.

SPEAKER_03 17:52

Oh, this is good. Actually, I think Shrimp, you can help us with this because there are things that I think our generation is getting made fun for fun for that I swear to god I knew was happening, but now it's funny. But like one of them was a uh a TikTok, and it was a guy being like, Welcome to the Millennial Restaurant, and it was called Stomp Clap.

SPEAKER_07 18:13

Yeah, the Millennial Burger Restaurant.

SPEAKER_03 18:14

That's a big TikTok trend. Okay, alright. That made me laugh and also feel uncomfortable because I was like, oh wow, like this is this is this was happening.

SPEAKER_07 18:23

Two fun brothers with a crazy dream.

SPEAKER_02 18:28

That's true.

SPEAKER_07 18:28

That's what it that's one of the things.

SPEAKER_02 18:31

I just like the thing with something becoming so memeable is there's just like so much trash content too. And so the amount of unfunny stuff I saw about it turned me off to this particular one.

SPEAKER_07 18:42

But that was attacked, but mostly is uh adjacent to that that you keep sending me the Shepherd videos. Not Shepard the Shepherd the Band, to be clear.

SPEAKER_00 18:53

Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:54

Our entire communication on Instagram has become me sending him We Are Shepherd the Band.

SPEAKER_06 19:01

Geronimo Geronimo.

SPEAKER_01 19:05

Um they have a new hit coming out.

SPEAKER_07 19:07

Is it just the re-release of that or they're actually making the music?

SPEAKER_02 19:10

No, they have on the other videos I maybe sometimes send you. It's like, can't believe we're headed to America to promote our new hit.

SPEAKER_07 19:18

Yes, say Geronimo 2.

SPEAKER_03 19:20

Man, if if Edward Sharp and all the magnetic zeros had been on that plane, United 93, like they were supposed to be on that morning. Were they supposed to be on that?

SPEAKER_01 19:30

No, but if that was gonna be the most loaded plane.

SPEAKER_03 19:35

It was actually Edward Sharp and uh Broken Social Scene were on United 93 with um uh the Wall Street. And um and the guy from Finn. Yeah, yeah. Um no, but I think that that that would have uh really up-ended our entire culture.

SPEAKER_07 19:56

Is it what other questions do you have about the burger thing?

SPEAKER_03 20:01

So it's if you're being made fun of? It's that, and then I think Harry Potter is like another one that they make fun of our generation for.

SPEAKER_07 20:11

Well, there's a lot. I'm a not Gen Z, just to be clear. I'm a millennial.

SPEAKER_03 20:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 20:18

I'm on the lower end millennial, but I am still millennial.

SPEAKER_03 20:22

Okay, okay. Yeah. You know, but she like is like late Gen X, I think. That's how I view her.

SPEAKER_07 20:35

Like Yeah, that's a that's a unique Gen X is a unique thing that I can't get into right now.

SPEAKER_03 20:42

You don't want to get into it.

SPEAKER_07 20:43

Millennials. Uh yeah. Yeah, I made fun of.

SPEAKER_02 20:47

When I said you are of a different generation, I think three weeks ago now at this point. Um, what I meant was that you are like and in the millennial age range, we talk about this with my brother. Um We're all millennials, but we each had such distinct perspectives on a very strange time. You know, yeah. Based on what pop culture we were feeding into. And I think those chunks are more like you know, eight to ten year chunks.

SPEAKER_07 21:20

Sure.

SPEAKER_02 21:21

Even less, because like my brother and I have completely different perspectives on a lot of things, and we only have a like four to five year age difference. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 21:28

I think that it's probably true with most generations, but I think I stay in touch with the pop cultural.

SPEAKER_03 21:38

Yeah, you're desperate to appear young. Yes. Well, you told me that you're hair out. You're really into having sex with a fifteen year old, you said.

SPEAKER_07 21:46

I'm not saying that.

SPEAKER_03 21:48

You got that, you recorded that, right? We were recording when he said that, right? Oh, oh shit. Okay. Well, that's a shame. Because it was a funny joke. It was a joke, right?

SPEAKER_01 22:02

Um Alright, let's get back into it. We don't let you defend yourself.

SPEAKER_02 22:13

Interior. Uncle Frank's home, night. The door slams open. Chris stumbles into an extravagant modern villa, sweaty, bleeding from the forehead, jacket torn. He carries a bundled up, half-assembled doubtfire suit with him. His uncle Frank is arguing with his husband Jack. They're both in silk robes. Because I'm not doing caffeine after seven anymore. It's a degestif. They both stop. Look at Chris. Look at the blood. Oh. It started. Jack moves quickly out of the room.

SPEAKER_07 22:40

They're trying to kill me.

SPEAKER_02 22:42

They can't kill you. They need you alive. Doesn't seem like it. Jack returns carrying and assembling a gigantic rifle. How many are out there?

SPEAKER_07 22:50

I didn't stop to count them.

SPEAKER_02 22:51

I'm heading to the roof. Keep comms open. I know. Jack exits to the roof. Chris slams the suit down on the marble countertop.

SPEAKER_07 22:59

It doesn't work.

SPEAKER_05 23:00

I know.

SPEAKER_02 23:01

Frank approaches Chris and the suit.

SPEAKER_05 23:03

You put this on?

SPEAKER_07 23:04

Yes, and nothing happened.

SPEAKER_05 23:06

Did you engage the empathy engine and initiated the mind stick?

SPEAKER_07 23:10

I did everything I was told would activate it, and nothing worked.

SPEAKER_02 23:14

Show me! The sound of a high caliber rifle firing from above over the radio. These guys are amateurs.

SPEAKER_07 23:21

I didn't feel anything. I didn't SHOW ME!

SPEAKER_02 23:25

Chris half-heartedly gives a Hello!

SPEAKER_05 23:28

You aren't ready. It's a good thing that wasn't the real suit, or your brains would be scrambled. I'm sorry? It's a decoy in case something like this happened. Or rather, because we knew something like this would happen.

SPEAKER_02 23:43

Chris looks at the suit, back at them.

SPEAKER_05 23:46

You gave me a fake suit? We didn't give it to you. You broke into our lab and you stole it. Then where's the real suit?

SPEAKER_02 23:54

Frank sighs, he calls Jack on comms. I'm showing him the suit. Is he ready? No. What choice do we have? Frank looks at his nephew for a long moment as if really trying to see if any of Daniel lives on in his son.

SPEAKER_05 24:08

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 24:12

Frank presses a hidden button and the marble counter splits open, emitting billowing the flowing fog illuminated by clean modern LED lighting. Inside, the real Doubtfire suit. Not flashy or mechanical. It's almost respectful, like the entombed body of Chris's father in costume. However, there is warmth to the skin, as if it is alive.

SPEAKER_07 24:37

That's it? That's it. That's what they're sending people after me for?

SPEAKER_05 24:44

From what I know, they already have some version of the Doubtfire Protocol. But it's broken. Corrupted. They need the suit because the full mind of your father is stored within it. They need you because you are the key to unlocking it.

SPEAKER_07 25:04

Okay. So let's do it. Get the suit on and take care of business.

SPEAKER_02 25:08

Two more shots from above. Return fire from automatic weapons in the distance.

SPEAKER_05 25:12

You don't understand. It's not biometric. Well well, it is partially, but that's just the first lock. It reads you your memory, your intent, your emotional patterning.

SPEAKER_02 25:25

A mnemonic gating layered over a genetic lock. Frank looks impressed. Jack over PA. Oh, now you've done it. It's just nice to know that someone appreciates my genius.

SPEAKER_07 25:37

I am actively believing.

SPEAKER_05 25:39

Right. Even if you had the right suit, it wouldn't have worked. Why? Because you're resisting it. You don't want to accept that your father is actually in there with you, and that there are things you wish you would have done differently while he was still around.

SPEAKER_07 25:57

I'm not resisting it. I'm rejecting it. That's not my father. That is a suit.

SPEAKER_05 26:03

Your father created Doubtfire because he didn't know how to be himself and still show up. He initiated the Doubtfire legacy when he had become more himself he had ever been and realized he wasn't gonna be around much longer. I know this sounds crazy, but for this suit to work, you're gonna have to meet me halfway. Meet what halfway? A voice? Costume? If you don't want to think of it as your father, then think of it as a responsibility.

SPEAKER_02 26:39

More automatic gunfire. Closer. Frank casually reaches over, turns off a lamp, the room dims. You either accept this, or we're all dead. Chris paces, runs a hand through his hair, smearing blood. They said they could put him everywhere.

SPEAKER_07 26:56

Every house, every family. That's the plan. And why shouldn't they?

SPEAKER_05 27:01

Because when you actually take a moment to talk with it, you'll realize that it's not just some digital neural mapping AI bot.

SPEAKER_02 27:10

Chris stares at Doubtfire 2.0 for a long while. Let's do this. Cut to Interior Home Lab moments later. Frank puts the finishing touches on Chris, donning him completely in the Doubtfire suit. Chris looks awkward and uncomfortable. Jack comes in over calms. We hear shouts of soldiers and gunfire. You'll want to make this quick, deers? It's getting messy up here. Frank rushes over to a high-tech control panel, a soft tone as he boots up the suit. The suit tightens a bit, finding the contours of Chris and trying to match his physicality. Chris freezes. He overcorrects his posture and tightens his jaw. A soft jet of air shoots from the nexene as it seals and ruffles his lacy collar. The sound drops out of the room and we only hear Chris's breath. Then a soft hum. A consciousness. Probing, eternally curious. Chris. Everything stops. Chris hears his father clear. Alive. Oh my god. Look at you. Chris's face hardens immediately. No. The hum grows slightly static, like it's confused. Stop. Now, Chris, dear the suit tightens again, trying to complete the sink.

SPEAKER_07 28:22

I said stop.

SPEAKER_02 28:23

Chris! Don't push it away! Listen to your father, Chris. Get it off me! Chris fights the suit, but the suit mid-boot fights back. It jerks and twitches out of sync. Chris is trapped within his body, operated like a puppet. The voice system loops fragments, escalates. It begins to speak through Chris's mouth.

SPEAKER_07 28:43

Good morning, Vietnam!

SPEAKER_05 28:47

Get me out of this thing! Get to the chopper. It's searching for a stable identity.

SPEAKER_02 28:53

Lucy? You got some splendid the door! Chris stumbles forward, trying to gain control of the suit. He is in panic, thousands of character voices invading his mind, one louder than any of them. His father. Chris! Please! Chris! The room feels smaller now. Chris's vision begins to blur and fade. Suddenly Frank is in front of Chris. Chris! Chris! He grabs Chris. Chris! Make a noise if you can hear me! Chris's eyes are barely tracking his uncle, but he manages to let out a pained moan. Frank continues in a calm but firm voice.

SPEAKER_05 29:30

What's happening right now? That's not the suit. That's you. No it's him. It's both. It's your memories of him and the suit trying to work with what it's got.

SPEAKER_04 29:49

I can't.

SPEAKER_05 29:51

You don't have to accept all of it. When your father couldn't be there, he made Doubtfire. So if it's too hard to talk to your dad, maybe you could try talking to Mrs. Doubtfire. Chris breathes ragged.

SPEAKER_07 30:06

I don't know how to do this.

SPEAKER_02 30:10

Neither did he shift. Chris stops pulling away. Not embracing, but not resisting. The suit responds.

SPEAKER_04 30:19

Hello?

SPEAKER_02 30:21

You talking to me? The suit jerks, but instead of resisting the movement, Chris allows it to inform a gesture.

SPEAKER_07 30:28

Mrs. Dowfire?

SPEAKER_02 30:29

The voice system tries again, a soft hum. At your service. Frank moves back to his panel and observes readings.

SPEAKER_05 30:38

How does it look? Stable. Not great, but stable.

SPEAKER_02 30:42

That's enough. That's all we need. Chris looks down at his hands. They're steady now, mostly. More gunfire in the house now.

SPEAKER_04 30:51

I guess this is goodbye.

SPEAKER_02 30:53

Chris looks at his uncle with love and determination. I don't know why you say goodbye. A mischievous smirk reminiscent of his father. I see. Chris looks towards the ceiling. The bottom of Doubtfire 2's sensible flats begin to glow with blue repulsor energy. Doubtfire 2 blasts up to the ceiling at incredible speed. A crash, dust, and debris fall into the lab.

SPEAKER_03 31:29

I don't know what to say. I I really don't know what to say. Truly incredible.

SPEAKER_02 31:36

So yeah, I want this, you know, for you guys to fill in the empty spaces. Um, why has it gotten to this point? Obviously, there's been something with Stu or Monty trying to like create uh a doubt fire for every home.

SPEAKER_07 31:53

Mm-hmm. An AI prototype.

SPEAKER_03 31:56

Yeah. Okay. I was getting in the sense that there were like kaiju or something, you know, in the in this world. There probably are. Okay. And this is what it's created. Like you need to fuse your so I was getting a lot of like shiny from Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like like Chris is Singy in the in this scenario, and he he doesn't want to like take on the suit, but he's got to.

SPEAKER_02 32:17

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 32:18

Whoa.

SPEAKER_01 32:19

And because the suit is, of course, the legacy of his father, which is that's all that I ever write about.

SPEAKER_03 32:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:27

Past legacy.

SPEAKER_03 32:28

And just imagining like your your gay uncle behind that plate glass. Dude, let me just say, fantastic, Frank. Oh, the it was written really well, I have to say. I mean, the impression was fine, but like the words activated the emotions.

SPEAKER_02 32:46

Fantastic. Um this is one that it I think is like as dumb as I've ever written, but I also like I can't write without like trying to write something, you know? Right. And so uh I did write it a bit more like how I would write a regular script with like lines separated and like beats and intention and the lines like that. And you did it well.

SPEAKER_03 33:11

I just really connected to the to the to the stakes of it all. Hell yes. Um yeah, just putting on that suit and knowing that you have to be that adult, you know. This is a story about growing up.

SPEAKER_02 33:25

True. Shrimp's not paying attention to what the Gen Z you're you're focused on their style and their vernacular. Gen Z?

SPEAKER_01 33:32

Yeah. As opposed to what? What the cool kids are doing. The millennials going to breweries and wearing baseball caps.

SPEAKER_07 33:39

I'm not focused on wearing an obita brewery shirt. That is the I'm also wearing a brewery shirt and hat. So let's not you know, I'm a blend. I study the craft of the Gen Z, but I'm a millennial. Hell yes, hell yes.

SPEAKER_01 33:56

Nice.

SPEAKER_07 33:57

Trying to reverse age myself spiritually.

SPEAKER_02 34:00

That's cool.

SPEAKER_07 34:04

It's not working.

SPEAKER_02 34:05

Aura can protect you from aging, I've heard.

SPEAKER_03 34:08

Well, you know what's timeless? Fine wine. Oh yes.

SPEAKER_07 34:14

That's so true.

SPEAKER_03 34:16

And I think I would like to introduce, and I'm sorry to like derail everything, because that script was truly beautiful.

SPEAKER_02 34:22

Well, it's still we've still got another scene to go. Oh fuck.

SPEAKER_03 34:25

No, I'm just kidding. No, we can do it. Let's do it.

SPEAKER_02 34:28

Segment in between reads.

SPEAKER_03 34:30

I would love to do a blind tasting of wine, if that's good for you guys. Oh, shrimp's really good.

SPEAKER_07 34:37

I like blind tasting. Okay, alright. It's good to know anything about wine.

SPEAKER_03 34:41

It's good to know that Gen Z is still in on it. Okay, so everyone as their spokesperson. As Gen Z spokesperson, um, because Clavicular will be dead by the time this is. He is not Gen Z. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_06 34:52

I think he's Gen Alpha.

SPEAKER_07 34:53

He's only 20.

SPEAKER_03 34:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:55

Or something like that.

SPEAKER_03 34:56

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02 34:57

Yeah, I think he's 21.

SPEAKER_03 34:58

Hmm. So young to die. Um, so if everyone would kindly close their eyes, keep them shit.

SPEAKER_02 35:04

It's only blind in the fact that our eyes are closed.

SPEAKER_03 35:07

Alright, well, just uh don't look at me pouring it, is the point.

SPEAKER_07 35:10

Can we look at it when it's in the glass?

SPEAKER_02 35:12

Alright, since I said that on the last one, I've now grown in reverence for clavicular, and I don't think it's cool for you to make jokes about his dad. Yeah, it's kind of fucked up, dude. Can I open my eyes?

SPEAKER_01 35:25

Oh! Is this a buzzball? Uh it that's closer.

SPEAKER_03 35:29

Alright, so we'll start off by looking at the legs, swirl around a little bit, and we'll see how long.

SPEAKER_07 35:37

Oh. Wait, am I supposed to like identify like what's the game of this?

SPEAKER_03 35:41

We're trying to identify what kind of wine this is. So drink it without passing out.

SPEAKER_07 35:46

Drink it without passing out.

SPEAKER_03 35:49

Oh it smells rancid.

SPEAKER_07 35:51

It smells like pink lemonade.

SPEAKER_03 35:54

Well, give it a sip. What would you say are you going to know?

SPEAKER_07 36:04

But it's wine, you think?

SPEAKER_03 36:06

It's something. It's it's a it's a thing.

SPEAKER_07 36:10

Is it Moscato?

SPEAKER_03 36:12

No.

SPEAKER_02 36:12

No think about wine.

SPEAKER_07 36:14

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 36:17

Yeah. Yeah. So I mean they've already identified the flavor.

unknown 36:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 36:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 36:24

Which is great.

SPEAKER_07 36:25

That's it's not a buzzball.

SPEAKER_02 36:31

It's a double bean.

SPEAKER_07 36:36

You know what this is? Oh yeah. Oh my god. Do we not yet or yet?

SPEAKER_03 36:40

I said yeah.

SPEAKER_07 36:41

Oh, so it's just me doing the blind.

SPEAKER_03 36:43

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm enjoying it though. And it is glowing in your glass like very beautifully. It's a beautiful pink color.

SPEAKER_02 36:49

It is a hot spring day, and so this is actually incredibly refreshing.

SPEAKER_00 36:54

Yeah, it's actually good. Is it double B?

SPEAKER_03 36:56

Double B. And you're so close with um Buzzball.

SPEAKER_07 37:02

Is it a beatbox?

SPEAKER_03 37:03

It is a pink lemonade beatbox.

SPEAKER_02 37:06

Yes. How many X's are in that? Just one.

SPEAKER_03 37:09

I think just one, yeah. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_07 37:11

Wow. Listen, I know my crappy drinks.

SPEAKER_03 37:15

No, that was good.

SPEAKER_07 37:16

I've seen all the Shark Tank episodes.

SPEAKER_02 37:18

That was that was really good. People might think because I have a home that I've like set up a studio in and all these things, that I'm some sort of refined home bar alcoholic. No, I'm a I'm a resident street alcoholic. Yeah. I mostly drink out of brown paper bags.

SPEAKER_03 37:34

Well, and I in all honesty, uh, I think as the years go on, it's gonna become a thing where we're gonna have Psalms that are gonna try to, you know, make a Colt 45. Yes. Or a buzz ball. Yeah. Or a um things that were called like electric buzz or something.

SPEAKER_02 37:54

I thought you were gonna say that you thought public drinking was gonna become so prominent and regular that there would just be Psalms on the streets that are like trying to recommend things to do.

SPEAKER_03 38:03

Oh yeah, be like, you know what you should pair with this half-smoked menthol? I've got this Chateau Briand. The Chateau Briand would go perfect with that um, you know, that that burrito that you're eating off the ground.

SPEAKER_02 38:17

Did you already say Chateau Briand this podcast? No. No. Did you say it?

SPEAKER_03 38:22

No. I don't even know that.

SPEAKER_02 38:23

Wow, I just pulled that out of my ear.

SPEAKER_03 38:24

Yeah, you did color. It actually is a very beautiful color.

SPEAKER_01 38:27

It doesn't, the coolest part about it is that it doesn't change at all when it's in light or when it's yeah, it's still glowing.

SPEAKER_07 38:34

Yeah. It's got opacity to it, cloudiness.

SPEAKER_03 38:40

Yeah, it's funny too, because like when you go to a wine tasting, they say that when you look at the legs, you know, or how long the uh the liquid stays on the side of the glass is how alcoholic it is. This just sticks the side and then doesn't even go down.

SPEAKER_07 38:52

And I guess the ABV, do you know? Yes. I remember. Do you remember? No, I don't know. Is it 12? No. Uh it's 11. Oh it was close. That's a shame.

SPEAKER_03 39:03

It'll never be a Chianti.

SPEAKER_02 39:06

It's tasty. It's just, yeah, creating a film on the glass.

SPEAKER_07 39:11

That is a little odd. But it's good. Shout out Beatbox.

SPEAKER_02 39:16

Shout out to Box. Yeah. Buzzball's a family corporation, family company. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 39:23

Yeah. Oh, well, if you had read my post that I posted into the Instagram, you would know that uh Buzzball is a family woman-owned corporation.

SPEAKER_07 39:30

Oh, I did see that. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 39:32

A mother started the company with her sons.

SPEAKER_03 39:34

That's nice. She was like, I gotta get my sons fucked up.

SPEAKER_07 39:38

I think alcoholism, that is a millennial.

SPEAKER_03 39:42

Oh, definitely.

SPEAKER_07 39:44

Signifier.

SPEAKER_03 39:44

Yep.

SPEAKER_07 39:46

The younger generations, they're not drinking.

SPEAKER_03 39:48

They're not drinking. And they're not fucking. They're just school shooting.

SPEAKER_07 39:54

But they talk about. It's a joke. It's deniilism, once again.

SPEAKER_03 40:03

I haven't seen the goth mommy milkers.

SPEAKER_07 40:06

Like you have you're not familiar with the the culture of the big titty goth girlfriend.

SPEAKER_03 40:12

I'm I my goth girlfriend, I think, is different. Like, so my goth girlfriend is wearing I want to call them like black capris. Right? And they've got like chains on them. And I think you would like trip pants? I don't know. You would wear them to the warp tour with vans.

SPEAKER_02 40:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 40:34

Um, so this is my goth girlfriend from like eighth grade.

SPEAKER_02 40:37

Do the chains go in between the legs, connecting the legs, or are they just separate to one leg?

SPEAKER_03 40:42

They're like in a pocket. They're like so just a pocket and not like bondage pants. No, no, no, no. They're not erotic. Um and then there's like a corset type deal, but that also seems very like warp tour-like. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 41:01

That's fine.

SPEAKER_02 41:02

There's a myriad, a spectrum of goth mommies out there.

SPEAKER_07 41:06

There's a lot of goths. Well, the growing thing is a mommy.

SPEAKER_03 41:10

Yeah. Um so like goth mommy is like a it's a an erotic uh fixation, or yeah, I would say.

SPEAKER_07 41:20

Like a cultural killer meme. Yes. But it's also often attributed with like that all the people that say they want like a goth girlfriend are always like business majors type.

SPEAKER_03 41:37

Okay, alright.

SPEAKER_07 41:38

Um so it's like a way of like being, I guess, like uh I'm just trying to translate this from what I have understood. But it's sort of like a way of like I don't know. It's become a signifier of like, oh, I'm different. I want like a goth girlfriend, I don't want like a blonde.

SPEAKER_03 41:54

Okay. So maybe for like I'm just trying to speak millennial here.

SPEAKER_02 41:58

But um I don't like that we've gotten on this d division of the generations.

SPEAKER_03 42:04

Oh, you wanna we wanna make it all one generation.

SPEAKER_07 42:06

We all one long generation from the beginning of time.

SPEAKER_02 42:11

Yeah. Drew, do you feel significantly uh now like caught up on goth mommy milkers? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 42:18

I feel like I have a bigger sense of-get there. Yeah. Well but when you say goth mommy milkers, I'm picturing huge, busty goths.

SPEAKER_00 42:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 42:27

Like uh medieval almost in that sense. And I don't think I really I don't think that was really a because my goth mommies were uh skinny and on pills.

SPEAKER_07 42:37

We're not talking about your goth girlfriend. We're talking about the idea of the goth girlfriend. But there's you can expand on it by like with the size situation of like I want to be and getting stepped on, there's like a BDSM humiliation.

SPEAKER_03 42:53

So the goth girls are getting bigger.

SPEAKER_07 42:56

In theory, yes.

SPEAKER_02 42:57

Okay. Like giantess bigger? Yeah, a little bit.

SPEAKER_07 43:00

Like there's like or just a general, like, dominate like the goth girlfriend is also a dominating figure in your life.

SPEAKER_03 43:07

So BFG stands for bondage, fem dom, goth.

SPEAKER_01 43:11

Yeah, it could.

SPEAKER_07 43:12

It could.

SPEAKER_02 43:15

Um are any of you into like um Giantess Vore?

SPEAKER_08 43:20

No.

SPEAKER_02 43:22

Like being eaten by like a big woman picks you up and is like, oh, you're so little and I've actually I've seen a video like this.

SPEAKER_03 43:30

My my feed. I think it came up on my Instagram. Yeah. Um, but yeah, yeah, they they treat you like you're a tiny uh tiny person.

SPEAKER_02 43:37

Maybe sometimes it's a little snack, a little treat. Well, I don't want to die. Well, you won't, because it's fantasy. It's all right. It's all fantasy.

SPEAKER_07 43:46

But even in my fantasy, I don't want to die.

SPEAKER_01 43:48

Why? Every day I wake up, I I just woke up from beautiful dreams about death. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 43:54

Now I have to do this. That's that's the thing that's life. Hot living room.

SPEAKER_03 44:00

Well that's the thing that was what Freud was talking about when he was, you know, discussing, you know, like his first subjects. They were like, I wish that a giant goth with huge titties would shrink me and put me and suffocate me in her bosom.

SPEAKER_07 44:14

Who said that?

SPEAKER_03 44:15

Uh Sigmund Freud.

SPEAKER_07 44:17

He's a good man. Smart guy, good guy. Smart guy.

SPEAKER_03 44:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 44:25

Prometheus corp is in ruins. Monty lies in a small crater of concrete, his super nanny suit sparking and broken. Chris Doutfire 2, now fully synced, walks up to Monty's broken body. Monty's nostrils are covered in a powdery red substance. What did you do to me?

SPEAKER_07 44:45

Oh just a little cayenne pepper routed straight into your suit's respiratory apparatus. The voice of Daniel. Like father?

SPEAKER_04 44:56

Like son. Do you think I did all of this for money? Of course it would have come, but no. I did it because people are failing each other. Every day. Constantly. Parents don't show up. They get tired, they get overwhelmed. They leave. And everyone says it's normal. Cause it human. Says it's complicated. But it doesn't have to be. Doubtfire showed us what being human actually meant. She was consistent. Reliable. Do you have any idea how valuable that is? And you've locked that away. How many people don't get that security now? Because you've decided it belongs to you. You didn't save him. You just made sure no one else gets what you had. Why? Why did you get to decide?

SPEAKER_02 45:56

Because he's my fucking father. The voice of Daniel speaks to Chris. Do it, son. Thou fire two's shoulder pads lift and a hundred mini missiles fly out and target Monty. He dead. Cut to Exterior San Francisco home day. Chris walks up the street to his home. He looks at the cute little house and smiles, finally understanding the beautiful weight of the future ahead, but knowing.

SPEAKER_07 46:23

I've got this.

SPEAKER_02 46:25

We've got this. He looks down at the briefcase containing the Datfire 2 suit. Together. Chris walks up to his door, finally ready to give his husband the love he deserves and start talking about adoption.

SPEAKER_01 46:40

Fade the black and the credits.

SPEAKER_03 46:54

This is like the only one I think I'd want to see that we've done so far. Like I kind of need to see it. The special effects are amazing. Well, I actually was kind of picturing it as like an anime.

SPEAKER_02 47:06

Oh, that'd be fun. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 47:08

Like seeing that like Mrs. Doubtfire, like side missiles on the shoulder come up with like the huge like trails on the back of the damn.

SPEAKER_02 47:17

That would be cool. I can imagine like Doubtfire 2 is like enhanced in ways that like you can tell through animation, but like still kind of look like a normal, you know, dress or something or an apron. But it's like through anime, you can tell like little flourishes show it's like made out of Kevlar or something.

SPEAKER_03 47:37

Yeah, and it's like five inches short of the Doubtfire dress, so it's like you're still like sexually out of the room.

SPEAKER_02 47:41

I think it's a younger Doubtfire too. Uh if you were going to resurrect Robin Williams for this movie, what would you what would be your method as like a filmmaker?

SPEAKER_07 47:53

To resurrect him?

SPEAKER_02 47:54

Yeah, because you're gonna need like a vocal performance that's on spot with all new lines. You're gonna need like probably at some point some facial replacements. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 48:04

My first thought was an Eldritch invocation.

SPEAKER_02 48:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 48:08

To resurrect him from the dead.

SPEAKER_02 48:10

He's got these magic books I heard.

SPEAKER_03 48:12

Okay. I was going like um Frankenstein grafting route. Like I was gonna kill the impression guy from SNL and get his like vocal chords, you know, to get his impressions. Uh, and then we need someone as spry in the body.

SPEAKER_07 48:31

Physical comedy ability.

SPEAKER_03 48:32

Pliable physical comedy, like a Tom Holland. Yeah. So have him. And then last we need the the face of a beautiful clown.

SPEAKER_02 48:40

Um, that Skarsgard, the um the the uh really are putting together like kind of a Voltron of actors just to equate to maybe a percentage of what Robin Williams just came up with.

SPEAKER_07 48:55

We're killing multiple successful living actors to reassemble them as one Robin Williams Frankenstein's monster situation.

SPEAKER_03 49:04

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 49:06

And that seems worth it to me.

SPEAKER_03 49:08

Yeah, to make Patch Adams too.

SPEAKER_07 49:09

Yeah. And hook too.

SPEAKER_03 49:11

Hook two. Hooktua. Hook to a that's good.

SPEAKER_07 49:16

Hold on to that. Don't mind what I do.

SPEAKER_02 49:19

This person disagrees with your thoughts about Robin Hooka.

SPEAKER_07 49:25

Hooktua's very good.

SPEAKER_02 49:28

Umster on Letterboxd says, you know what? I won't be ashamed anymore. I don't think Robin Williams is funny in the least. I just find him annoying. This particular film is no better than Mrs. Brown's boys.

SPEAKER_01 49:47

Anyone who says otherwise is a hypocrite. What's Mrs. Brown's voice? No idea.

SPEAKER_03 49:52

Does he just live near like a family named the Browns and the kids are really funny? And he's like, Robin's Robin Williams has nothing on these kids. I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying to figure it out.

SPEAKER_02 50:05

Uh, this is pertinent to us. Denny Half Star says the last time Chris Columbus ever spoke to Robin Williams was a phone call in April 2014, in which they discussed the prospect of a sequel to Mrs. Dadfire. Having grown somewhat alienated from film sets after the birth of his children, a friend of Williams later went on to claim that he recrete he agreed to the sequel purely out of necessity before his eventual suicide that August.

SPEAKER_06 50:33

Whoa.

SPEAKER_03 50:33

Whoa.

SPEAKER_06 50:34

They gave it a review. That was a review?

SPEAKER_03 50:36

That was a review. How close was that to how close was that to Benghazi? That's a good question.

SPEAKER_01 50:42

Hillary had something to do with it?

SPEAKER_03 50:44

Yeah, I think the last thing that Robin Williams tweeted was I have information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.

SPEAKER_07 50:50

People don't want to talk about that.

SPEAKER_03 50:52

Yeah, because he was set because the whole Mrs. Doubtfire, the new costume for two was like a pantsuit.

SPEAKER_00 50:57

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_07 50:58

It was 21st century.

SPEAKER_03 51:00

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_07 51:01

Did that what was the rating on that?

SPEAKER_02 51:04

Half a star. All of these are half star reviews.

SPEAKER_07 51:06

He was mad at Chris Columbus.

SPEAKER_02 51:08

The real question is what's Mrs. Brown's voice? That is the real question. And we're straying from the funniest thing in the world. Um TBH mom just needed a GF, and dad just needed an excuse to do drag. I think that's fully a real take on this movie. Valid. This person gave it a half star and says, never watched it because it gave me childhood nightmares. That's fair.

SPEAKER_07 51:33

Never watched it one star. That is a Supreme made me scared. Confidence move.

SPEAKER_02 51:40

With that being said, um your thoughts finally, last thoughts on Doubtfire.

SPEAKER_03 51:46

I want to put it to bed, but the same way that you'd put to bed a kaiju. I want to be prepared in case that a son of a doubtfire or daughter needs to inhabit that suit to fight for what's right and for love.

SPEAKER_06 52:07

Hell yeah. That's beautiful, you know.

SPEAKER_03 52:09

Yeah, thank you.

SPEAKER_07 52:09

Thank you. Shrimps? Well, firstly, R.I.P. Robin's. That's my first thought. Okay, I love that. Yeah. Second thought. I haven't really seen the movie since like a long time ago. So a lot of it feels like a dream. And that may just be the sublime quality of the movie. Dream like strange. Yes. Transfixing.

SPEAKER_02 52:36

Here's Braz. He's great. Unless we forget.

SPEAKER_03 52:39

You can adapt to any situation.

SPEAKER_02 52:40

And that is, you can say the same about the Doubtfire suit. Adaptable, transformative. Yes. Adaptable, transformative. I think the suit is a good vehicle for sequels because it's like, well, now Chris is putting it on, but what if in the next movie, at the end, the little girl needs to put it on? She's now grown up. She's like a goth writer and goth barista their neighborhood thing.

SPEAKER_03 53:04

And then she puts on the suit. In a lot of ways, we're all wearing a suit made out of our dad's skin.

SPEAKER_02 53:10

That's kind of what I wanted to put into this.

SPEAKER_03 53:13

Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_02 53:14

Well, thank you, Jude, so much for reading my script with me.

SPEAKER_03 53:17

Jordan, thank you so much for writing something so full of generational awareness. Uh, the beauty of life, what death means, um, and a way to cope with it. And um, I'm gonna be thinking about this one a lot.

SPEAKER_02 53:33

Hell yeah. Shrimps.

SPEAKER_07 53:34

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 53:35

Thank you so much for being here.

SPEAKER_07 53:36

You're so welcome. Always a pleasure. He needed me to say it out loud. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 53:41

Alright. Thanks. Bye. Bye. See ya.

SPEAKER_02 53:56

Um. Do you wanna do Doubtfire 2?

SPEAKER_07 54:01

What is Doubtfire 2?

SPEAKER_02 54:03

It's like Chris's version of Doubtfire.

SPEAKER_07 54:06

Uh well.

SPEAKER_02 54:08

It's like an updated for a new generation.

SPEAKER_07 54:12

Okay. Is it the same ish voice?

SPEAKER_02 54:15

You can do whatever you want. I'll do my best.
