Kindergarten Cop: It’s Not a Tumor!

"Who is your daddy, and what does he do?"

Grab your juice boxes and secure your nap mats, because this week on Entertain This!, Mitch and Tom are going undercover. That’s right—we’re strapping on our holsters and heading into the high-stakes, high-caffeine world of 1990’s Kindergarten Cop.

Join us as we analyze Arnold Schwarzenegger’s pivot from unstoppable cyborg assassin to... a man trying to manage a room full of toddlers. Does Arnie have the range, or are the kids actually the ones pulling the strings? We’re breaking down the film’s iconic quips, the jarring tonal whiplash between "gritty drug bust" and "finger painting," and why this movie remains an essential artifact of 90s cinema madness.

Whether you have fond memories of this childhood staple or you’re watching it for the first time with cynical adult eyes, this episode is a mandatory field trip.

Tune in, settle down, and try to keep your hands to yourselves while you listen. And remember: You’re not a patient boy!

SPEAKER_01 0:59

Crispy and frazzled. Just like his hair was sticking up. He was really red. Crispy branded. He was frowning. His eyebrows were like blonde because he's been in so much sun.

SPEAKER_00 1:08

He's always frowning.

SPEAKER_01 1:12

He might. He said he was having to deal with some difficult people.

SPEAKER_00 1:23

He just has a migraine. I'm sure you've guessed it by our horrible owner of the impressions. Well, mine. We're doing the 1990 American action comedy film classic Kindergarten cop. Detective John Kimball. Boys No, no, I won't do that one.

SPEAKER_02 1:41

Boys have him. Girls have him.

SPEAKER_00 1:45

SPEAKER_01 2:48

Although we could find a way to boost our huh. Give me your phone, Tom.

SPEAKER_00 2:56

So you ready? Are you ready, man? I can't hear you. Kindergarten cop. I love this movie.

SPEAKER_01 3:08

It's been a long time since I've seen this movie.

SPEAKER_00 3:10

I saw it recently, and it's still like it's charming. And some of it's kind of like, alright, alright. But it to see Arnold just dealing with children. Because like, you know, Predator Arnold, Terminator, you know, running man.

SPEAKER_01 3:27

Well, yeah, because I I did a a uh whatchallow comedy movie with him in it as well. So it it is a different look to what everything he's doing, but it's like he shouldn't have been able to do it.

SPEAKER_00 3:39

Why is that? Because it's Arnold, like it's like you can't do comedy, and then he's like, watch me, I'm very funny.

SPEAKER_01 3:46

Well, knock knock. It makes it more funny because he's so big, and then he's trying to just like be this normal person.

SPEAKER_00 3:54

It's like and sometimes they like try to like not gloss over the fact he's jacked, yeah. But other times, and then in the movie, they're just kind of like, yeah, he's yoked. It's like he's Arnold. It's like, how could he not be?

SPEAKER_01 4:08

Of course it is.

SPEAKER_00 4:09

It's like you're that's what you're expecting. And then just watching him get like roughed up by children and like lose it.

unknown 4:17

Shut up!

SPEAKER_00 4:21

But some facts about this film. Okay, it was directed by a man. That man was Ivan Reitman, screenplay by Murray Salem, Herschel Weingrad, and Timothy Harris. Story by Murray Salem, produced by Ivan Raman Brian Grazer, starring the governor himself, Arnold. Penelope Ann Miller, Pamela Reed, Linda Hunt, Richard Tyson, and Carol Baker. Cinematography by Michael Chapman. Music by Randy Edelman. I was about to say, it was like Elfman? And I was like, no, no, different person, different person. Released December 21st, 1990, with a budget of $26 million, made 202 at the box office.

SPEAKER_01 5:08

I I like how the the lady, I know this is kind of a sidetrack. I like how the lady uh Linda Hunt that plays Mrs. Schlauski. I think everything she's in, she's like this small, fragile looking woman, but she always like stands up to the big people. Like I know. Because she's the voice in uh the incredibles of the lady. Is she Edna Mudd? I think so.

SPEAKER_00 5:26

Because she looks like Edna Mudd.

SPEAKER_01 5:28

I think that's why they based it in the world. She looks like that.

SPEAKER_00 5:30

You are a last to go. Pull yourself together. All right, fine. I fixed a hub of us suit.

SPEAKER_01 5:36

I don't know if she is or not, though. She looks like it. My god, you've gotten fat. Actually, she's the uh the narrator for God of War in the video games, too. Hmm.

SPEAKER_00 5:47

You did you know kindergarten cop was the second highest grossing film behind Home Alone during the week of January 8th, 1991? Oh I don't know why we needed to know that. The one week grossed 94 million dollars in North America and 105 internationally.

SPEAKER_01 6:04

Which is what was the budget for it?

SPEAKER_00 6:08

20 million. I mean, it made it 26 million for was the budget. It made it's money then. I'd have to scroll up and give you the exact number, but I can't be bothered. Can't be bothered to do things around here. Uh Rotten Tomatoes has a 54% based on 39 reviews with an average rating of a 5.6 out of 10. Arnold Schwarzenegger substitutes his action brio with some refreshingly adept comedic timing, but kindergarten cop is too grim for children and too cloying for adults. Cloying. What does cloying mean? I don't know, I'm not a dictionary.

SPEAKER_01 6:44

I don't know, I'm not gonna bother to look it up.

SPEAKER_00 6:46

I can't be bothered to look it up. Metacritic has a score of 61 out of 100 based on only 15 critics, indicating generally favorable reviews. And audiences polled by Cinema Score gave it an average grade of an A minus on an A plus to F scale.

SPEAKER_01 7:02

I did see where the the uh Arnold Schwarzenegger won the Kids' Choice Award, the blimp award for favorite movie actor in 1991 for the movie.

SPEAKER_00 7:12

Roger Debert, good old Eberts, said the film is made up of two parts that shouldn't fit, but somehow they do, making a slick entertainment out of the improbable, the impossible, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and gave it three out of four stars. Which is which is pretty pretty high praise for uh for Roger Giebert because normally he's like, I hated it. Yeah, unless it's like some kind of like skillful, artful masterpiece. Yeah, unless it's like The Godfather. I don't even think he liked I think he liked Jaws. I don't know. Let's get him on the show. He's dead, but let's get him on the show. Let's hold a seance. We'll dig him up. No. This also has like a legacy. It's like several of Schwarzenegger's memorable lines from the film were used in soundboards for prank phone calls that became popular in the early 2000s. I believe it.

SPEAKER_01 8:02

Which is uh as someone who perpetrated some of the few can assure you they definitely were.

SPEAKER_00 8:11

Yes, because every every all the ones you could find these on YouTube, yeah. Where it's like, you know, like it's like Arnold at the drive-thru or like calling for like a pizza. It's like, hello, how are you? And it's just like, shut up! You ready to dive in?

SPEAKER_01 8:27

Sure. I was gonna look up uh right here. It says that uh as often this is like a goof or something that happened in movies. As often happens in Hollywood productions, when one fire sprinkler was set off during one of the scenes, the others were also set off. So basically, when the they set off the sprinkler for the scene, it set off the whole building. Not everyone was quite prepared. It sent like different uh staff stuff running from the building as well.

SPEAKER_00 8:54

That's hilarious. In Los Angeles, ruthless drug lord Cullen Crisp murders a man who had provided information about the whereabouts of Crisp's ex-wife Rachel, who went into hiding years earlier with their young son Cullen Jr. Crisp.

SPEAKER_01 9:13

I'm just gonna say Crisp, like the the dad, he looks like a scumbag.

SPEAKER_00 9:17

Yeah, like that is 1990 scumbag. With like his slick back hair in the ponytail, yeah. Oh, it's it's it's it's kind of like J uh Steven Seagal. Yeah, kind of, but it's like more sleazy, which is kind of hard because Steven Seagal looks pretty sleazy.

SPEAKER_01 9:33

Well, he just had that ugh, you know.

SPEAKER_00 9:35

He was constipated, like he's just or he's thinking about something that like really made him mad. Yeah, like he's just like it's like he has a paper cut like between his finger or something like that.

SPEAKER_01 9:44

This is pretty much the for crisp. This is pretty much the only movie he did other than uh Blackhawk Down. He was in that for some.

SPEAKER_00 9:52

That's right. He's one of the Delta guys.

SPEAKER_01 9:54

Oh, he is? Yeah, okay. I knew it says he was in that, but other than that, that's pretty much it for his career as far as anything notable.

SPEAKER_00 10:01

Well, I mean, hey, Arnold and then you know, Blackhawk Down. Two pretty big movies.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

Yeah, yeah. That's pretty much it.

SPEAKER_00 10:10

Well, thank you for interrupting my trade of thought while I tried to explain the plot to you. Anytime, anytime. So let me reiterate in Los Angeles, ruthless drug lord Cullen Crisp murders a man who had provided information about the whereabouts of Crisp's ex-wife Rachel, who went into hiding years earlier with their young son Cullen Jr. Crisp. Crisp is arrested by John Kimball, a gruff, hard-driving LAPD narcotics detective who's pursued him for years, and is detained based on the testimony of sex worker Cindy, who witnessed the murder. Believing Rachel's testimony is essential to securing a conviction. Kimball is partnered with detective Phoebe O'Hara and sent to locate her in Astoria, Oregon. The opening of this movie, because they're in a mall. Yeah. And he's like, and Arnold has like a beard. And he's got like the like the the 1990 Ray-Ban sunglasses. Yeah, he's like the circular kind, but he stands out a little bit. He has a trench coat on with a shotgun.

SPEAKER_01 11:05

He's supposed to be undercover, he looks like a suspect.

SPEAKER_00 11:07

He looks like a yeah, he looks like he looks like a terminator. It's it's not believable. Yeah. Because I mean you're what it's so hard to watch Arnold be anything but Arnold. It's just Arnold in as in this situation. Yeah. It's just like tonight on Arnold, he's like, he's gonna go do this. And it's like, he's just because doesn't he like shoot like a television? I can't remember. It's better than that. I might be confusing that with another film.

unknown 11:33

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 11:34

I might be confused with another film. But he just like he's like, is he smoking a cigar? I don't think in this world, or not not at this point, because he's just strolling around with like scruffy face, glasses on, and he has like a shoulder holster with like a beretta or something. He's got the trench coat, he's got a shotgun, and they kill this dude, and there's like a hiding hooker, and it's like there's like mannequins, it's it's creepy, and it's like, what mall is this? It's like, is this what malls look like past the back?

SPEAKER_01 12:05

The mall of America. Is it the mall of America? We don't know what mall it was.

SPEAKER_00 12:09

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 12:10

Let's see, I can try and look it up. Let's see. Well, you continue. Oh, I'll look that up to you. It's been my time.

SPEAKER_00 12:15

And then he gets his partner's funny because she's like not having any of his nonsense. She always reminded me of one of my aunts. Yeah, she is like, she kind of looks like an aunt or an aunt, depending on where you're from in the United States. But she's like not having any of his BS, like, oh, I'm Arnold Muscles. She's kind of like talking down to him and giving him the business a little bit in some of these scenes.

SPEAKER_01 12:39

Well, yeah, I mean, she's she's she's very authoritative with him, but it's at the same time, she's like almost like she doesn't care. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

Little bit, little bit, but I mean the beginning of this movie is by and large, as you can tell from the two of us, forgettable. Because I remember the scenes with the kids, because it's just it's pure gold, it's hysterical watching him deal with it, and and he does it so well. But what's really funny or at the and then you have like the shooting at the end, like those you really remember, but a lot of this movie is just kind of like oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:16

I mean, I just remember him work you know running around with the kids when they wouldn't listen, and then when they finally do listen, he's like marching with them. Yeah, he puts them through like police training pretty much, and he has a fit side note this movie the mall scene was filmed at Westfield Main Place Mall in Santa Ana, California.

SPEAKER_00 13:34

Yeah, I believe it's California. Because the crisp guy, he's like getting his nails done. What? Yeah, yeah, and like his mom is there, and she's like a like the biggest B. She's like part of the the bad guys. Like, she's not just there, she's she's not like the she's like she's like consoliary trying to like deal. Like, I don't know how to describe it, but she is a ruthless broad, she is mean, yeah, yeah, like super mean. He's like walking around with like that suit when he has like the coat hanging over it. He's just like but it's like greasy 1990 ponytail guy, yeah. He he he's a forgettable villain, yeah. I couldn't even tell you this name until you told me to go up against the Arnold. Well, because he I mean he's not gonna physically challenge him, so I don't know why they no, you so you know you gotta sneak up behind Arnold, hit him with a bat. Unless the whoever the choreographer is, he decides who you know how much hits you get on Arnold.

SPEAKER_01 14:29

Right.

SPEAKER_00 14:30

Before Arnold just rips rips you in half. Like a sandwich. Unaware of Rachel's new identity, the pair plan to find her through Cullen Jr., believed to be enrolled in kindergarten at a local elementary school. O'Hara intends to pose as a substitute teacher to observe the class, but when she falls seriously ill, Kimball is forced to take her place, despite having no teaching experience and very little patience for young children.

SPEAKER_01 14:57

And I know that the uh the school knows about what's going on, like that he's undercover. But at what point are they just like, oh okay, yeah, you're you're qualified to just be with kids all day long? Because somebody's still gonna teach them. Yeah. And I mean, obviously he's not the same person, so how's he qualified? That I just don't see it going over.

SPEAKER_00 15:20

I mean, I get if it was like a one-day yeah, but but even then, like you're never they're never gonna do that. You're not gonna put kids' lives at right. Like, it's not gonna happen. Like, it just isn't.

SPEAKER_01 15:31

Even if it was the other the woman that was like had the teaching degree or something like that, they're not gonna just throw kids in the middle of it all.

SPEAKER_00 15:38

It just to do I mean, because they don't know where the crisp guy or the crisp guy's in prison.

SPEAKER_01 15:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:43

Or they thought he was. Allegedly. Allegedly.

SPEAKER_01 15:46

Does he break out or was he in prison?

SPEAKER_00 15:49

We'll find out as I keep reading the plot.

SPEAKER_01 15:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 15:53

Kimball's first days in the classroom are chaotic, and Principal Ingrid Schlotzky doubts his suitability. Over time, however, he establishes order using firm discipline. Like discipline, structured routines. There is no bathroom. And unconventional methods. Pick up the toy, bring it to the carpet. One toy, one toy, one toy only. Drawn from his police background, he gradually bonds with the children, earning their trust and affection while discovering he enjoys teaching. His pet Ferret becomes the class mascot, and his growing empathy reveals a gentler side of his personality. Meanwhile, O'Hara recovers and remains in Astoria, posing as Kimball's Austrian sister while continuing the investigation.

SPEAKER_01 16:38

I like how when he starts using the whistle and he's like, it works, it works, it works.

SPEAKER_00 16:43

Because he like he gets so mad and he runs out of the school and he's just on the steps.

SPEAKER_01 16:48

He's like, Yeah, when he runs out, he's got like his coat and his tie, just like fling it. That whole thing's hilarious. He's just like, he's about to flip out.

SPEAKER_00 17:00

He's like questioning them, like they're actual suspects. He's like, I'm going to play a game. Who is your daddy and what does he do? Well, like, because like and the kids' responses are hilarious. It's like, my my daddy says all women are ding bats. He drives a taxi.

SPEAKER_01 17:15

Well, I like how on that first, like, I don't know if it's the day or the first week, like every time that the the uh principal and the other teacher walks by, they just look through the window and then go back away. You got kids going everywhere, things flying across the room. You got the one little kid, all the girls are standing on the desk, he's like looking up dresses. I know it's like, what is going on?

SPEAKER_00 17:36

I went to kindergarten. I was like, it was not like that. No, never, not once. No, not once. It's like you Oregon kids are out of control. Your parents should be ashamed.

SPEAKER_01 17:45

And then you got the one kid that's sitting over there eating everyone's lunches, and he's like picks them up and he's like, Stop it. The kid just like just spits out ones in his mouth. He's like, Did you eat everyone's lunches?

SPEAKER_02 17:57

He's like, mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 17:58

He's like nod said, he's like, bad. Yeah, he brings his ferret in and they all start petting it. Yeah, be nice, be nice. That's ferrets. Have you ever had a ferret?

SPEAKER_00 18:11

No, I've never had a ferret.

SPEAKER_01 18:12

I had a cousin that had a ferret, those things stink.

SPEAKER_00 18:15

And I'm like, why like why do you have this pet? Like it that yeah, like they just kind of shoehorned it in like Arnold, he has a pet ferret. Yeah, it doesn't make sense because it's like he brought it with him from Los Angeles, undercover, like they flew, right?

SPEAKER_01 18:30

They flew and they were undercover, but they brought the pet ferret.

SPEAKER_00 18:33

Ferret got to come with him, and he's like, the ferret always comes with me. He's my partner, he's my buddy. He fits under doors. He's a police ferret. But like he's like the little lady, uh Linda Hunt, she's just like yelling up at Arnold. It's like she has to look like up goliath over this little woman. But it is funny, it's a little kiss. Like, you know, he raises his hand, he's like, What? And it's like, Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina. And he's just like staring, like some of the expressions he makes are so believably real. Like he's even like it looks like Arnold's like almost in over his head. Like he's just like, like, why am I doing this movie?

SPEAKER_01 19:14

Well, I was reading something before we started, and it was talking about how he said remembers this role as like one of his favorites just because he got to work with the children. He said it was something different from what he'd been doing day in and day out for all the other movies.

SPEAKER_00 19:26

So I think he said he really enjoyed it, but because even like he reads to the kids and like they're all like napping, yeah, like on the carpet, and he's like sitting there, just like he's like looking for a drink. Yeah, it's like where's the flask?

SPEAKER_01 19:41

Ferret? Yeah, he gets the uh the whistle, and then they start marching down the hallway.

SPEAKER_00 19:46

And then the kid's mom, who he's looking for, is one of the teachers, yeah, and she's like helping him out, and like two of them, you know, obviously developing some sort of an attraction. And then his his the O'Hara lady pretending to be Austrian to him who is Austrian, and she's just like going way over the top. It's like she was imitating him half the time, and it just it's so stupid.

SPEAKER_01 20:10

Well, then and then of course you have like all the other uh moms of the kids.

SPEAKER_00 20:14

They're like they're like, Oh, so Mr. Kim's like it's probably like I think one is like you think he's gay. Well, no, I don't know, I don't remember the and then they see it's like they're like all just staring at Arnold. They're just like they're like Mr. Kimball's like, that's him. He's like flipping her hair.

SPEAKER_01 20:27

Yeah, she's trying to get her hair right once getting her dress, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:33

It's like, hello, Mr. Kimball. It's like he's not wearing a wedding ring.

SPEAKER_01 20:38

Yeah, because I like that when they finally see who he is. They're like, oh, I'm gonna get makeup straight and all that stuff.

SPEAKER_00 20:43

Like checking their hair, like looking at like I don't have any makeup on.

SPEAKER_01 20:48

They're just like, hi. I thought that was funny.

SPEAKER_00 20:52

As Kimball settles into his role, he becomes increasingly invested in the children's welfare. When he suspects one pupil is being abused by his father, Kimball confronts the man and ensures legal action is taken, impressing Schlopsky. He knocks that guy. He beat the crap out of that dude. I mean, he didn't really beat the crap because he's like, it's not worth it. Yeah, because like the one kid he like puts his hand on his shoulder, it's like, oh hey, because he's like, Oh, sorry, we're laying. Well, doesn't he like punch him once or something like that? No, I think he I think he two taps him.

SPEAKER_01 21:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 21:20

Well, I remember like I thought he was got him like pinned up against the car and he's like cocked back, ready to just knock his head like across the hood of the car. Yeah. And then he sees like all the kids and the teachers, and he's like, You're not worth it.

SPEAKER_01 21:31

Yeah, and he's like and then the principal, after the kids go, she's like, come boo! I loved it.

SPEAKER_00 21:38

She knows he's not a teacher. She's like, I can't find a single record. She's like, but you're really good at teaching kids. It's like your it's like it's like your police background, so it's like it's really working. And she's like, Now I got one question how'd it feel to punch that son of a and he's like, Great, it was awesome. Yes. Want to do not because he's uh because even the mom's like, Oh, he's fine. He's like, You guys always have the same excuse. Yeah, oh, he fell, he's clumsy, the stairs, the skates. It's like he just starts like rattling them off, and the devil's like, Oh, you must be Mr. Kimball, and he's like shoves him. He's like, You hit the kid, I'll hit you. Yeah, and the guy's like, You get him, he's like, You peace, and he tries to swing it. Yeah, like I don't know why he thought he was gonna win.

SPEAKER_01 22:22

Eh, he must have been drunk. Had to have been.

SPEAKER_00 22:24

He looked like he might have been in the bag. He looked like he was in the bag. Uh, he grows close to fellow teacher Joyce and her son, Dominic, one of his students, and reveals he has a teenage son living with his ex-wife. Dominic quickly comes to see Kimball as a father figure. Joyce explains that Dominic's father is absent, refusing to elaborate. Despite his observations, Kimball deduces Joyce is Rachel and Dominic is Cullen Jr. Meanwhile, Cindy dies after using cocaine, tainted by Crisp's mother and accomplice, Eleanor, eliminating the prosecution's key witness. With the case collapsing, Crisp is released and travels to Astoria with Eleanor to reclaim his son. Because like the mom like totally sets it up. Like she's like, like the girl's like dying. The mom's just like how in like a background shadow figure, just like, hmm. Yes, good, dead. She's like, all right, the case is over. Like, let's go. We gotta go to Oregon and go get the grandson. Like, she's like totally on board with all this.

SPEAKER_01 23:24

I can't remember. Is it at this point where the kid shows him like he has like the radio tower or something like that he wants to go to?

SPEAKER_00 23:30

Or because he has like his like fort in the woods, yeah, with like lights and all kinds of stuff going on. Like, it's it's a wild. How's he running power out there? And he has like his like special space weapons, it's just like tinfoil.

SPEAKER_01 23:41

He's got a water mill in the corner over there.

SPEAKER_00 23:42

It's like all kinds of nonsense. Because that kid's just like, Are you my dad now?

SPEAKER_01 23:49

My mom says you're gonna be my dad.

SPEAKER_00 23:51

He's just like picking his nose. I pooped. Can you wipe my butt?

SPEAKER_01 23:57

Well, like, because like she I mean, she goes full on out. It's like she's fixing dinner. She she goes, she's gonna get her a man.

SPEAKER_00 24:02

She's like this guy. She's like, I gotta lock this down before the hordes of other women at the bus drop off come after this guy.

SPEAKER_01 24:13

But yeah, I mean I because is it I think it's later on, I guess, that where he talks about.

SPEAKER_00 24:18

He's like sneaking through the house, too.

SPEAKER_01 24:20

Well, because he's talking about like a radio tower that he's gotta put this antenna on for to keep his family safe. Yeah, something like that.

SPEAKER_00 24:26

I don't know where I think he realizes like in like a childish kind of way, yeah. That his dad is probably like a horrible person. Because I think he at this point he's realized they've moved several times to stay away, yeah. To get away from him. Which I mean, hell, I would too. That guy's a dirt bag. I mean, who even goes out with a greasy ponytail guy?

SPEAKER_01 24:44

Maybe he didn't have the greasy ponytail at the time.

SPEAKER_00 24:47

It's just started growing and growing, and then like the more the red flags start to appear, it's like the longer his hair got, the worse he got. So as soon as they broke up, that's when the that's when the greasy rat tail thing started growing. So, like if he shaved his head, bam, born-again Christian.

SPEAKER_01 24:59

Maybe, maybe that or skinhead. Yeah, he wasn't in jail.

SPEAKER_00 25:05

That or skinhead. Realizing the danger, Kimball confronts Rachel and reveals his identity, promising protection if she cooperates, though initially furious at his deception.

SPEAKER_01 25:16

That's right. I forgot because she had something that belonged to the dad. That's she had either some money or some information or something like that.

SPEAKER_00 25:24

Yeah, I think it was the money. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:27

That's where they were pretty much like because they were getting ready to run towards the end of the well, yeah, towards the end of the film. Anyways, continue.

SPEAKER_00 25:32

She's just like, I'm gonna go to some other place, and I'm gonna go. I'm not Joyce, I'm Janice. Dominic, your new name is Will.

SPEAKER_01 25:41

Just keep changing it to D's. He's now Daniel.

SPEAKER_00 25:44

Daniel. He's a little Danny now. Realize Nager Kimball confronts Rachel and realizes his identity, promising protection if she cooperates. Though initially furious at his deception, she is persuaded to stay with Kimball after he admits that his ex-wife prevents him from seeing his own son and does not want to lose Rachel or Dominic. Oh, he's trying to be a good dad. But I mean, so's greasy ponytail guy. He kills a dude for a toy transit that he wanted to get his son. Like he was like, he was like paying like he was all right. Uh for reference. Because I know this because I was looking at it yesterday, because I was looking for a mile trans set for my son. Oh, okay. Granted, quote unquote his son. Well, yeah, well, I mean, I I have to set it up and I have to turn the dial, but you know, it's a father-son activity.

SPEAKER_01 26:30

Don't mind that he's wearing the train hat.

SPEAKER_00 26:33

Yeah, you know, mind your business, sir. I'll have ye know. My dad has a mile train set. I grew up with it. I wanted to do the same thing with my son because it's fun. Okay. It's uh it's oddly fun to just sit and watch it go in a freaking circle and just you know put some trees up in like a little crossing in a car. It's all you need.

SPEAKER_01 26:50

Some goes to touch it. Don't touch the sun. Don't touch the sun.

SPEAKER_00 26:53

But on average, they're like 300 bucks. I I believe it. Like high like nice ones are like 500.

SPEAKER_01 26:58

Because I used to go to a model stod, not we're not model train store, but model store. Because we had like these uh, I forgot what they were. They were like gas-powered um RC cars, kind of, and you had to buy the parts and stuff to keep them running there. That stuff it gets real expensive. Like even just like the miniature trees to put on the area, it's like 20 bucks for like four of them.

SPEAKER_00 27:19

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 27:19

It's like this is just you can go outside and get a weed and make it, but yeah, though that stuff gets expensive. Yes. It's like Lego, like the high dollar Lego pieces.

SPEAKER_00 27:29

Yes, it is obnoxiously expensive. And I'm like, and I'm like looking on eBay.

SPEAKER_01 27:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:33

Because like Amazon has a few too. And it's like, you know, Bachman, you know, Aethern, you know, tradition. I'm sorry, I know these brands.

SPEAKER_01 27:38

So I'm probably just like, loser. Yes, he knows the brands of model trades. Yeah, yeah. And you know what?

SPEAKER_00 27:45

I'm still married.

SPEAKER_01 27:46

Yeah, she's stuck now.

SPEAKER_00 27:48

I was like, it's too late. I have the ring.

SPEAKER_01 27:51

Yeah, my wife found out I loved comics and stuff afterwards.

SPEAKER_00 27:55

Sucks to be hurt. What can you do? So I was looking at him and then I'm like seeing the movie, and like the guy probably spent like $20, which I mean, granted, that's probably a lot of money then. But this crisps guy, he's just like shelling, he's like $50, $100, $300, $500 right now. Like he's like, it's like you could put kids through college in 1990 for like $500. And the guy's like, no, no, and then he's like, looks at it, he's like, Oh, I'm sorry I couldn't persuade you. And then it's just like dead. It's like totally kills that guy. How about a knife? Seamless transition. Crisp arrives at the school and starts a fire in the library as a diversion, enabling him to seize Dominic. Now, one thing I did want to talk about because I had like the field day thing, and you could tell Rachel and John Kimball. Yeah, the hots are like the hots are hotting. The tea is bubbling. They had the passion. The passion. And all the kids are just like Kimball, and like all the parents are just like, oh my god, like our kids like aren't aren't misbehaving anymore. It's like, and like all these women are probably like looking at their husbands, like, why can't you be like that guy? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:04

You can't be like that guy.

SPEAKER_00 29:05

Look how big he had not. It's like that guy like bench presses a car. Like, like I don't like, I don't even know how long you take it takes to get that big. Too long. Too long. And that's also probably like pure genetics.

SPEAKER_01 29:18

Yeah, I mean, well, kind of like the other movie, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:22

Yeah. Yeah. So Crisp makes it to the school and like he just like wanders in. Like he's just like, hmm. Well, yeah, they just like I mean that. But this is also like 1990, like the security checkpoints and like guard towers you have to go through to get to a school now.

SPEAKER_01 29:39

Yeah, I was gonna say they pretty much like let him walk in for the first time.

SPEAKER_00 29:42

Uncontested, unchallenged. And then he like lights a fire in a trash can. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:48

And then he's just like, all right, because then after the fire, like he was he steal a fireman's stuff or knock out a fireman and steal his stuff or something like that. Because at one point he's dressed as the fireman.

SPEAKER_00 29:59

Yeah, I think at one because he starts the fire, and then the fire department, you know, obviously responds to a fire, uh the school, but they have like the full fire drill, and like all the kids are going out, and Dominic like runs back into the classroom to get the ferret and has the ferret with him, and like I think he puts the ferret like in his backpack, yeah, or like in his shirt, like or something like that. He has the ferret, right? Yeah, I think it's in his backpack, and like Kimball's like getting all the kids out, and then like that's when Dominic gets intercepted by Crisp.

SPEAKER_01 30:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:28

And I'm like, How long has it been since you've seen your kid? I'm like, how do you immediately recognize him? Because the kid's just like, ah, stranger, danger, that's my purse, I don't know you. And he's like, shut up, shut up, shut, shut up, shut up.

SPEAKER_01 30:46

Well, I mean, I would imagine that he would he's like, I'm your real dad. I imagine he would still kind of like know what he looked like relatively.

SPEAKER_00 30:54

You don't have to be like looking at all these kids and just like no. Well, because I mean if he's in Kidd. Maybe what if he grabbed the wrong kid? Like, what if there was a kid with a black ponytail and he was like, There he is.

SPEAKER_01 31:04

He grabs like an Asian kid, you're not Mike Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 31:08

Because I I saw something, there's some guy, he's a truck driver, he's suing his biological parents and the hospital he was born in because they switched him and another kid on accident when like the day that they were both born. The parents did, or he went with like a single mom who was like struggling and like poor her whole life, and he was like a truck driver and like just like living life, and the other dude's parents were like affluent business owners and millionaires, and that kid went to like private schools and like had money and like businesses, like they were like executives, and he's just like that did the hospital or the parents accidentally switch him. The the hospital.

SPEAKER_01 31:46

Oh, okay. I'm like, damn. That's when when my uh my first was born. I was like, I'm on the struggle bus, and I could have been when my first was born. My wife was like, She doesn't have her her her wristband on stay with her. I was like, okay.

SPEAKER_00 32:00

Yeah, I was really worried about that too when my kid was born.

SPEAKER_01 32:03

I didn't really think about that, but yeah, I guess that because like a lot of babies look similar.

SPEAKER_00 32:07

When they took him away for like, you know, the little snip snip and then they brought him back. I'm like, I I'm like studied, but he was like scowling at me. And I'm like, I'm like, that's you. Because I already had a picture of him like grimacing, he's like his brows all furrowed, and he's like three hours old, and he's just looking like he's like, damn.

SPEAKER_01 32:24

You get that old man frown. He does, he he still does it. Yeah, yeah, he did it to me the other day when I walk him over.

SPEAKER_00 32:30

He's just like staring, like he judges harshly. We're not here to talk about our kids. That's not that's not this show. Kimball confronts him, but crisp takes the boy hostage. Kimball's ferret, hidden in Dominic's sweater, bites Crisp, allowing Dominic to escape. Crisp shoots Kimball in the leg, and Kimball returns fire, fatally wounding him. Because it like the shower thing's going, aren't they in like the locker room?

SPEAKER_01 32:56

Well, they're in the locker room or yeah, like the of the gym or something like that. But it's like I don't know very many elementary schools that have like showers in their locker rooms.

SPEAKER_00 33:05

No, we we had that in middle school. We did not have that number.

SPEAKER_01 33:08

I didn't even have it in middle school. We had it in uh in high school, but that was it.

SPEAKER_00 33:12

Our middle school locker room, like it looked like where like it happened. Like it was creepy now that I look back and think of it like it was kind of dark, and we had like the lockers, but it was like the the grates that wasn't like fully like where you couldn't see inside. Yeah. And it was just like depressing, like it was dimly lit, everything was gray and like cinder block.

SPEAKER_01 33:30

Well, I remember where when I went to middle school, all our lockers were like the little square lockers. We didn't even have big ones.

SPEAKER_00 33:35

You couldn't even put stuff in there.

SPEAKER_01 33:36

Yeah, you can put like shoes, and that's about it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 33:38

It's like I can't put all my stuff in here. Like, what's the point of this? It's like I'm just gonna leave it unattended. Yeah. Outside, Eleanor strikes O'Hara with her car before entering the school. Finding her son dead, she shoots Kimball in the shoulder and demands Dominic's location, but O'Hara arrives in time to knock her out with a baseball bat. Which is hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 33:58

Oh yeah, she knocks out the mom.

SPEAKER_00 34:00

Or the grandmom. The mom not runs over or like hits Lady with the car and she's like, and she just got taken out by like a buicless saber. And then she like wanders into the school and like finds the gun. She shoots Kimball, and she's like walking up. She's like, got him at like, you know, obnoxious gunpoint. Yeah. Yeah. You know what obnoxious gunpoint is. Like three inches from the face. Yeah, just like, where's my grandson? Tell me, Detective Man. Detective man. And then O'Hara like stumbles in and just goes and like hits her right in the back of the head with a wooden baseball bat. Dead right there. And it's like probably killed her, but just knocks her out cold. Yeah. And she like I forgot what her quippy line was. I'm blanking on it because she says something like quippy, like Arnold would. Like, stick around. I don't know. She like she has she has a line. Like she does like a like, you know, gotcha. And then Kimball is hospitalized with his injuries, and to the distress of his students, both he and Hera recover. Afterwards, O'Hara returns to Los Angeles while Kimball leaves police work and remains in Astoria as a full-time kindergarten teacher. Joyce stays with him and the two share a kiss as the children cheer. How does he get the job? What credentials does he have? He doesn't have a teaching degree. He doesn't have does he have a teaching license? He just proved he could teach.

SPEAKER_01 35:22

That's all.

SPEAKER_00 35:23

It's like I could take on bad guys. I can get shot twice and walk it off. Briefly, I have a pet ferret. I'm Arnold. Let me that's all I need. Come on. Come on. I got it.

unknown 35:33

I got it.

SPEAKER_00 35:33

I could do it. It sounds sounds like Hayden.

unknown 35:35

I got this.

SPEAKER_01 35:37

Yeah, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. We'll figure it out.

SPEAKER_00 35:39

Because they don't even put in here, um, because there's a scene where like because there's the him and O'Hara staying at like a motel. Uh-huh. And like he like opens the door and she he just hears like weird noises. And he's like, what? And he's like pulls out his gun and he's like clearing the rooms. Yeah. And he gets she's in bed buck naked. And she's like, ah, and he's like, what's going on? And then like, and it's Bob Nelson, the comedian. And he has on her bathrobe. Yeah. But he's like a chef. And like, because her whole thing is food. She just loves food. Like she's just going nuts eating stuff. Because that's how she ended up with like food poisoning to begin with. Oh, yeah. And was like violently ill. And he's just like, oh, he's just like, oh, this is my fiancee. And then he's just like, and she's like eating like food. She's just like, oh, this is so good. And he's like, all right, I'm gonna go. Because like there was, they weren't even stopping what they were doing. He's just like, all right, I'm gonna, because you guys are about to have like fettuccine Alfredo coitus over here. Because he's like trying to feed John. He's like, here, try this. Like the four cups to him, and he's just like, no, not happening. It's not, it's not happening. It's not. But I get why this movie has like a six out of ten.

SPEAKER_01 36:47

Yeah, I mean, because there are parts where it's just like, okay, let's keep going. But there are a lot of funny parts that come with it, especially when it's Arnold and the kids.

SPEAKER_00 36:55

Yeah, but the whole movie isn't Arnold and the children.

SPEAKER_01 37:00

Yeah. And to me, that's where it like kind of falters because all his scenes with all the other adults kind of seem forced. More so than him being a teacher.

SPEAKER_00 37:10

But it's it's also like you could kind of see how Arnold's like journey full circled. Because you like what we talked about in Commando, where he's like picking up Melissa Milano, yeah, and he's just like shaking. It's like I love you. Don't you understand? Tell me what the cookies are. Put the cookie down. And versus like him with like these like little kids. Yeah. And he like they're crawling all over him, and he's just like, I'm Arnold, I'm doing this. I'm a strong father figure.

SPEAKER_01 37:40

Yeah. But then he uh he goes to jingle all the way. I feel like he he does his best work with children in that movie.

SPEAKER_00 37:48

Eh. I disagree. Because he doesn't have a lot of time with kids.

SPEAKER_01 37:54

I'll pull a hey, you can be wrong.

SPEAKER_00 37:56

He doesn't have a lot of time with kids in uh jingle all the way. Yeah. I mean Anakin Skywalker's his son. Yeah. You got Phil Hartman, who's great as like his jerk neighbor. And Sinbad. And Sinbad. He got two.

SPEAKER_01 38:13

I love that movie. I love Sinbad. I can sit and watch his comedy all the time. The movie's great. It's my go-to every Christmas.

SPEAKER_00 38:21

But even like with him getting like the job, it's like he just hangs up being a cop. It's like, were you close to retirement? Like, weren't you pensioned, like invested? Yeah, because he was a detective. It's like you like, it's like, did you do your 20 years? It's like, what happens with your wife and your son? It's like, what about your kid?

SPEAKER_01 38:34

Yeah, it's kind of left out, you know, thrown out the door.

SPEAKER_00 38:36

It's like, I have an ex-wife and I have a son. He's like 15 now or something.

SPEAKER_01 38:39

I have a new wife and kid now. Don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_00 38:41

It's like, and I'm like, isn't there some sort of ethical boundary? She was like, you were sent to go find her and like protect her and get her away from this guy, and you're just like, hey, I'm your new show.

SPEAKER_01 38:49

And then you find out she did have the money.

SPEAKER_00 38:52

Yeah. And I was probably like, you know what? The hell with this. It's like I'm tired of making $10 an hour chasing bad guys.

SPEAKER_01 38:59

That's what that's why I wasn't worried about it. About the pension, because she had the money. Yeah. Oh, Arnold, you slide on you. He got the money and the girl.

SPEAKER_00 39:10

And a stepson. Yeah. Yeah. Flucky him. I know. What happens at that point? Where it's just like, you know, are you my new dad? And he's like, yes, now go to your room. I need to talk to your mother. Privately.

SPEAKER_01 39:22

If you hear loud noises, don't open the door. That's something I would never want to hear. Arnold making a stick around. Oh Lord. I just don't. There's images that go through my mind when you say that, I'm like, mm-mm, nope.

SPEAKER_00 39:49

You've been erased. It's like what Arnold like quippy line is his like, you know, boom goes the dynamite. I'll be back.

SPEAKER_01 40:03

I was thinking, hmm, maybe.

SPEAKER_00 40:04

That's what he says when he leaves the room to go freshen up and slip into something more comfortable. Yeah. I'll be back.

SPEAKER_01 40:12

Blow off some steam.

SPEAKER_00 40:17

Baby.

SPEAKER_01 40:19

I don't know. I don't know what what good good lines would work.

SPEAKER_00 40:22

I don't know. There's so many Arnold lines. A lot of them are like leaving though. He's like laying on the bed. Come on, I'm right here.

SPEAKER_01 40:38

Yeah. I can see that one.

SPEAKER_00 40:41

This devolved in the nonsense. Yeah, it did. We're sorry we wasted your time. Well, Mitch is, I'm not. Yeah, yeah. Oh well. But if I had to rate this film six and a half out of ten. Yeah, I mean it's it's quality Arnold. It's 90s, it's 1990 Arnold. We're still in like the peak of Arnold, the plateau of Arnold.

SPEAKER_01 41:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 41:03

Of like 84 to like the mid-90s.

SPEAKER_01 41:06

I mean, I still like some of his stuff a little bit later, but yeah, this is probably the better time frame.

SPEAKER_00 41:11

I feel like it's one of his better comedy movies.

SPEAKER_01 41:14

Comedy, yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_00 41:16

But I think this also kind of just showcases Arnold can just do whatever he wants. No, the man cannot be stopped.

SPEAKER_01 41:22

Well, because at this point, he's been in a bunch of movies and he's he's become like a favorite Hollywood actor. So now people like to see him in comedies at this point.

SPEAKER_00 41:31

Because I think what Twins was the first comedy he did. Yeah. And that was 1988. Yeah. So and everybody's just like, what are you doing?

SPEAKER_01 41:36

Pretty much.

SPEAKER_00 41:37

And he's like, I'm gonna be in a funny movie.

SPEAKER_01 41:39

Watch it. I'll kill you. He's acting across from Daniel DeVito. It it works.

SPEAKER_00 41:44

It just it shouldn't, but it does. But just like this, it's just like Arnold. He's like, he's doing another comedy movie. It's just like he's gonna do a movie with kids. He's a cop. It's just like, oh okay. And then everybody's just like, no.

SPEAKER_01 41:54

I mean, while while he's funny, I feel like this one is like you said, a like a six, six and a half, because he's having to carry the whole movie because he he is the star. Like there's nobody else that's like a big star in there with him.

SPEAKER_00 42:05

There's no there's nobody with the probably the acting shop, or I don't say the acting shops. There's way better actors than Arnold Schwarzenegger is, but contending with his screen presence alone. Right. It's nigh impossible. Like there's certain people who have done it on screen where you're like, you're not just completely fixated on him being there, it's other people. Well, Mitch, could you have more of an opinion?

SPEAKER_01 42:31

No, I mean I agree with you. I agree with you. Well, yeah, I I concur. I concur. Alright, well, I have some news. You do? I do. Like that transition, nothing at all. It was just I got some news. Seamless transition. Um the uh there's a I did you know that there was a live action Moana being made? No. There is. It comes on July 10th. Yeah. Very interesting, huh?

SPEAKER_00 42:59

I mean, I've Moana has been on the television at my house. Yeah, my kids still love it. But it my son falls asleep through it.

SPEAKER_01 43:07

The rock is gonna be you know, Maui, just like in the live action.

SPEAKER_00 43:11

Of course he is.

SPEAKER_01 43:12

And I and I'm hoping that they stick to the actual live action or to the CGI movie. I mean, I'm sure they'll change stuff here and there, but Disney seems to like to try and change a bunch of stuff. Like they had Mulan, and other than Mulan being a girl pretending to be a guy at one point so that she could be in the army, that's pretty much the extent of how the movie followed each other. Which it would have been a lot better if they would just kind of follow the the Disney's cartoon story. Kind of like Beauty and the Beast and all the the live action maids, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 43:43

I have some T V news. Okay. I actually have news. That that's amazing. I know. Uh Code Lioka. I don't know if you ever watched that. What was that? T V show? It's like an anime kind of deal. Never heard of it. Um well it's coming back. 'Cause it was um It aired in like 2004. And they did like four seasons. Okay. But they just confirmed that they're gonna I mean I Koleoko now is actually kind of like prophetic if you watch it. But uh I mean what is it about? So you have because it's actually a French animated series.

SPEAKER_02 44:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 44:19

But you have these four kids or teenagers at like some like fancy European French school, and they're you know smart, you know, athletic, you know, weird kids, and they find this like old abandoned factory, and beneath it is like this old AI, like supercomputer that they turn on, which they universally like awaken the AI that had been shut down and like because it's evil, yeah, and trying to destroy humanity. So like they think it's a video game initially, okay, and like load into it because they like sit and it's like their consciousness goes into the into the computer, yeah. And like they're in like you know, the worldly oko running around like fighting these monsters and like learning cool skills and swords, and they have like their little avatar people that look like them, but just kind of like doctored up.

SPEAKER_01 45:04

Okay, I have never even heard of this.

SPEAKER_00 45:06

But like they would do it, like they would they figured out, but also they figured out it released the AI like amalgamations into reality. Okay, so now they have to fight them in like real life, but obviously in real life they're way more dangerous and like can totally kill people. And I think I think a couple times like people have died, but then they've figured out that there's like a reset to the system where it basically sends them back and done 24 hours. Okay, or um, you know, and it's just like and and it's like this big like white explosion happens of light, and everything's like all right, back to where we were.

SPEAKER_01 45:38

Interesting. I know like I never even heard of the movie.

SPEAKER_00 45:41

I really liked. I mean, this was probably you're probably you're older than I am. Well, you are, yeah. So probably more targeted to my age when this was coming out, when I was like 11 or 12, watching it's like, oh man, this is a cool show. Um I'll watch Power Rangers now. I'm sure I'm pretty sure we'd be okay. Yeah, yeah, sort of. I think you'd like it. Um, but they're coming back with a fifth season. Okay, and it's all the original writers and people who did the show, they're gonna they're all coming back to do it.

SPEAKER_01 46:12

Okay, I'll have to look it up. It says code code Lyoko.

SPEAKER_00 46:15

Code Leoko.

SPEAKER_01 46:17

I'll look it up.

SPEAKER_00 46:18

Some people I just unlocked like a core memory in their life, but they're just like you like like those dreams like you didn't think it was real, and it's just like, wait, what?

SPEAKER_01 46:25

I they did uh I have some game news. They announced the last Ronan Ninja Turtle game is coming out.

SPEAKER_00 46:32

I know you're excited.

SPEAKER_01 46:33

I am because it's being made by the same people. It was made by the same people that made God of War. There, so it it's a uh the last Ronin is basically it's a Ninja Turtle that all the other brothers are killed. He's the last one. That's Raphael. And well, I'm not gonna you know the people the people that have read the comic know who it is, but uh I'm not gonna reveal, but they uh he's the last one, and he's basically trying to get revenge on Karai, which Shredder's dead because it's in the future, and Karai, her grandson, is the one that's taken over the moniker of Shredder, and they've they're having to fight him, and like because Casey Jones is dead, Splinter's dead, the all the other brothers are dead, and the one turtle that's left has learned all how to use all the weapons, and it's all serious, and he just wants vengeance. It's pretty cool, it's a really cool comic.

SPEAKER_00 47:21

You've calibunked for the last time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 47:25

Well, because like in the comic, he considers just committing suicide, like Seppo, and then as he's about to do it, his brothers kind of like come to him as like a remember in the the Ninja Turtles movie where Splinter comes in the fire? Yeah, his brothers come to him and tell him, like, hey, you know, this isn't this isn't what we would want. And they basically they want him to You must fight. Yeah, they want him to keep on living. So he he goes out and tries to get revenge. Nice for like I guess almost like unfinished business for the rest of the turtles. But it's it looks really cool. Um, it's gonna be made by made by uh the people that are making God of War, but it's also like Paramount Plus, or Paramount is like funding as the producers of the game. So they're trying to get into the game stuff, I guess. But it looks pretty cool.

SPEAKER_00 48:14

I'm excited.

SPEAKER_01 48:15

I know you are because like the they just did a trailer, and it's all they've done, and it doesn't even show gameplay or nothing, but it looks pretty epic.

SPEAKER_00 48:23

I did see a minute game blurb that uh Xbox is really hammering on trying to get GTA out and then Elder Scrolls, like their main titles that they well.

SPEAKER_01 48:34

I know they just released it's either today or yesterday, the uh the the cover art for GTA 6. Finally saying that you know that the pre-orders are gonna start. I want to say the pre-orders will start sometime this year or sometime like before the fall or something like that. I'd have to look back at it, but yeah, they released the cover art that you and they said pre-orders would be soon or something like that. So that's interesting.

SPEAKER_00 48:58

I'm I'm I'm looking forward to it because I get to go back to Vice City because I love Vice City, it's like it's my favorite Grand Theft Auto. Yeah, and I I want all the radio stations to still be the same ones in the same order.

SPEAKER_01 49:10

Yeah, I would always I'll always find my one station that I like the most, and that's that's what it stays on.

SPEAKER_00 49:14

And every car I get into what was your favorite one? I'm like VCPR, and it's like the MPR channel. I'm like, oh yeah, like it was hilarious, and now it's like it was there. I saw somebody like there was a YouTube video of it, like all of it was just like audioed onto it, like just seamless, seamless transition. And the comment was I I would play this in the car, like just like on a low volume with like friends as we're driving along, and none of them play Grand Theft Auto, and they're just like, What radio stage? Like, who are these people? Because they that's like they thought it was real because it was just that crazy, yeah. I can believe that. With like some like the guests they have on like the crap that they were saying. It's just like uh like modern as hell.

SPEAKER_01 49:56

See, I'd always just find like the the the the Grand Theft Auto Rock station or whatever it is.

SPEAKER_00 50:02

Um uh V-Rock. Yeah, because that game's soundtrack was the best.

SPEAKER_01 50:08

I mean, it's pretty cool that the the game has its own radio stations.

SPEAKER_00 50:11

That's pretty cool that you could cycle through as you drove on carjacking people running over hookers and killing cops.

SPEAKER_01 50:16

Well, you know, when I steal somebody's car, it's gotta have the right, you know, the right soundtrack as you're driving.

SPEAKER_00 50:20

Yeah, I know, but I gotta change it over. Yeah, there we go. It's like, yeah, video killed the radio star. Woo! Oh, hey, the outfield.

SPEAKER_01 50:29

But yeah, I mean, there's that. Um, I do want to talk about Call of Duty, but I want to take a little more time than what we have.

SPEAKER_00 50:38

We can talk about that on the next one.

SPEAKER_01 50:39

Um, let's see. There's I'll I'll kind of mention it here because I uh there's not a whole lot of information, but the uh me and Brandon have been talking about that dungeon crawler Carl. Have you seen anything about that? Well, I I've listened to I think I'm five books out of it that eight that they have at the moment. It's hilarious because I've been listening to it on Audible, but they're making a TV show from it, and it's gonna be on Peacock, Peacock, and it's gonna be live action. I know a lot of they said a lot of people were wanting it to be animated just because of the absurdness stuff that happens, but it's supposed to be live action, and then uh Seth McFarland is gonna be his the Fuzzy Door Productions, his CGI company is gonna be the one working on it. They're the ones that did all the CGI for Orville and Ted, the TV series. So, I mean those their CGI in both of those is pretty good. So I'd imagine that this this show would be well taken care of.

SPEAKER_00 51:28

Yeah, and I'm happy it's gonna be on Peacock because I already have it.

SPEAKER_01 51:32

But it I mean it's it's an out there, it's like basically like d D D where this person aliens, I forget what they say, they're like Earth is a uh like a seeded planet where they just they put these people here and they've been watching them for years, and then they come back to collect, and basically they collapse all the buildings, and anyone that was in the building has been turned into part of the machine, essentially, and anybody that wasn't in a building at the time or in a car, they had they open up these stairways that allowed them to go into the dungeon, or they could stay on the surface and just fend for themselves until the end of the world. But if you go into the dungeon, you have a chance to live and do all sorts of different crazy stuff. And this guy and his cat go down in there because he wasn't inside because the cat jumped out the window, and when he went out to get the cat, the building just crushed, and that's that's the only reason he survived. He's like, ah, and then in the very first, like like because it has levels, I think it's level one through eighteen, and on the very first level, he gets some kind of box that gives him a pet biscuit. He gives it to the cat, and the cat becomes sentient and can talk. And it's pretty funny. She's called Princess Donut. It's a great, great book. I I really encourage you to listen to it. Alright, I buy it. And then I also it's been made into a comic, so I got the graphic novel of chapter one so far. Which I don't know how far chapter one or volume one of the comic goes because I haven't read it yet. But it's pretty pretty neat to see it animated as well. It's definitely not for kids. Yeah. But the the verbiage and the uh the graphic deaths of some of the stuff. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 53:10

The profanity.

SPEAKER_01 53:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 53:11

A lot of words you're gonna have to explain to your kids.

SPEAKER_01 53:13

But I am interested for however long it takes for this to become a uh the actual TV show. I'll definitely be watching it.

SPEAKER_00 53:19

I'd be excited to watch that. Yeah, when's it gonna come out, Nina? They don't have to working on it.

SPEAKER_01 53:24

Yeah, I mean they just they just reproduction. Yeah, they just announced that the Peacock's working on it because they had said that they wanted to make it a TV show and it just released that Peacock is working like to kind of get the idea off the ground. So it's nowhere near ready, but it's exciting. I love that, I love the book because basically I started on book one in April and I'm on book five. And they're like some of them are 24 to 32 hours long.

SPEAKER_00 53:49

Damn. Yeah, like so like four hours of a book.

SPEAKER_01 53:53

The last one that I did had like 64 or 72 chapters, somewhere around that. Oh my god. Yeah, there's a lot of chapters. It's it's a book, it's a big book. Big old books. And I think he just released book eight last month or earlier this month. And I think it's supposed to go to book ten. But that's like his his stopping point that he has planned.

SPEAKER_00 54:15

And then like people just go like, all right, well, more.

SPEAKER_01 54:17

Well, I mean, there because it's different things in the story, there's options where he could have like a spin-off and things like that, but I have to see how it goes.

SPEAKER_00 54:24

Nah, I guess we'll see how it goes.

SPEAKER_01 54:26

And there's like, I think it's from what I've seen, there's one guy that does the voice for all pretty much all the characters. The girls, the guys, the cat, everything. And it's it's amazing that little to watch him change between characters as he's like reading.

SPEAKER_00 54:41

That's that's so hard. That's so hard to do.

SPEAKER_01 54:45

But yeah, I'm interested to see that become a show.

SPEAKER_00 54:48

So do you have any other news?

SPEAKER_01 54:50

Uh I do, but I'm gonna save it for the next episode.

SPEAKER_00 54:52

Okay, I'm out of news, which should not be a shock to anybody. But the fact that I had some says a lot. Says a lot. He tried. Thomas gave it an effort. I'm doing my part. I was gonna say, I'm not doing you ain't doing. That's what that's Hayden's part. Yeah, that's but he's not here.

SPEAKER_01 55:16

SPEAKER_00 56:00

SPEAKER_00 56:15

Yeah, yeah. He probably needs the money anyway.

SPEAKER_01 56:17
