Episode 232 - Mud and the Wind

[00:00:16] Hey everybody, it's another episode of Go Flix Yourself. My name is Ben Conowitz and with me as always is the Chevy Chase to my John Belushi, Brad Roman.

[00:00:25] Hey that's me! And you're not.

[00:00:28] Oh boy.

[00:00:29] And the Bill Murray to my John Belushi, Nate Lauchs.

[00:00:33] I don't have a good Bill Murray accent.

[00:00:37] He doesn't have quite the accent.

[00:00:38] I can't do the Bill Murray.

[00:00:39] Do his Caddyshack voice.

[00:00:41] I can't do it.

[00:00:41] Come on.

[00:00:42] I can't do it.

[00:00:42] Try it.

[00:00:43] I can't do it.

[00:00:43] Wow.

[00:00:44] I can't do anything.

[00:00:45] But by the way, who's a better person? Bill Murray or Chevy Chase?

[00:00:49] Oh, Bill Murray.

[00:00:49] That's what I thought.

[00:00:50] But I know a lot of people don't like Bill Murray.

[00:00:52] Yeah, Bill Murray can still be kind of an asshole and he's made some mistakes, but Chevy Chase is I think he's known as being the bigger dick all around.

[00:00:58] So he got that right.

[00:01:00] Yeah.

[00:01:01] Yeah.

[00:01:02] Pretty good.

[00:01:03] But also I'm still alive.

[00:01:05] So is Chevy Chase.

[00:01:07] So is John Belushi.

[00:01:09] Oh!

[00:01:10] Yeah.

[00:01:11] Oh.

[00:01:11] Oh, oh.

[00:01:12] Yeah.

[00:01:12] Well, that's fair.

[00:01:13] That's fair.

[00:01:14] Food fight!

[00:01:16] You got it from Animal House.

[00:01:17] Nailed it.

[00:01:18] That's what that's from.

[00:01:18] Yep.

[00:01:19] I'm a bumblebee!

[00:01:20] Yeah, that was that famous line from the bumblebee sketch.

[00:01:22] You remember that one.

[00:01:23] I would like to feed my fingertips to the Wolverines.

[00:01:26] To the bumblebees.

[00:01:27] Ha!

[00:01:28] Coneheads!

[00:01:29] Anyway, it's a movie podcast guys.

[00:01:31] You know what the deal is.

[00:01:32] We'll see.

[00:01:32] Brad, let's-

[00:01:34] Nate says we'll see.

[00:01:36] You know what the deal is.

[00:01:38] Uh, one of the things that we normally do on this podcast-

[00:01:42] Fuck around?

[00:01:43] And find out.

[00:01:44] Yeah.

[00:01:44] And now we're gonna find out who is our lovely actual-

[00:01:48] We tickle each other sometime.

[00:01:50] Okay, well that's new.

[00:01:51] You never had tickles?

[00:01:51] By the way, you do the tickling in a way that I don't like to tickle.

[00:01:54] Yeah.

[00:01:54] I'm sorry, you don't like this kind of tickling?

[00:01:57] Get the fuck out of here!

[00:01:58] You realize that this is only an audio medium, so it sounded like you were just tickling

[00:02:03] him right there as you-

[00:02:04] Wait, you don't really-

[00:02:05] You're actually tickling him?

[00:02:06] You can't tell him you don't really like this one?

[00:02:08] You don't like this kind of tickling?

[00:02:09] You like it?

[00:02:09] Look at your face.

[00:02:10] Look at your face.

[00:02:11] I'm sitting right next to you tickling me and you know you like it.

[00:02:13] He likes the tickling.

[00:02:15] So it looks like he's just-

[00:02:16] Make your hand like you're gonna be an Italian gangster and you're gonna be like-

[00:02:20] Hey!

[00:02:21] And now wiggle him.

[00:02:22] Yeah.

[00:02:22] That's what Brad did.

[00:02:24] An upside down octopus if you will.

[00:02:25] Okay, that's just weird.

[00:02:26] Well, you don't like a little bit tickles?

[00:02:28] No, I'm sorry.

[00:02:29] Little tickling bits?

[00:02:30] Hey, what's your favorite ticklish memory?

[00:02:34] Wait, when's your favorite tickle?

[00:02:36] When was it?

[00:02:37] Where do you like to get tickled the most?

[00:02:39] Okay, that's just- This is not inappropriate.

[00:02:41] Yeah.

[00:02:42] You're actually touching me.

[00:02:44] That is making me uncomfortable.

[00:02:46] Brad, what's the sponsor?

[00:02:47] He's only uncomfortable because he's aroused.

[00:02:50] Oh my, why-

[00:02:51] Why do you pull it off the rails so quickly every time?

[00:02:54] You do.

[00:02:55] Like, it's like-

[00:02:56] I'm not a conductor.

[00:02:57] We're on the train tracks.

[00:02:59] Yeah, we're on the-

[00:02:59] And you're just the-

[00:03:00] Getting a little warmed up.

[00:03:01] Getting a little warmed up.

[00:03:02] Puts a penny on the track and just derails the whole thing.

[00:03:04] First of all, pennies don't derail trains.

[00:03:06] That's a myth.

[00:03:07] Second of all-

[00:03:07] Wait, have you done it?

[00:03:08] Because I just saw one.

[00:03:09] I saw-

[00:03:09] You saw a train derailed by a penny.

[00:03:11] Right here.

[00:03:13] What?

[00:03:13] Yeah.

[00:03:14] That's not-

[00:03:14] Metaphorically.

[00:03:15] Metaphorically.

[00:03:17] I'm not George Carlin and Thomas the Tank Engine, alright?

[00:03:20] I'm not the conductor.

[00:03:24] Family guy.

[00:03:25] Family guy?

[00:03:26] What the fuck?

[00:03:27] Legend of make-believe.

[00:03:29] You can't even conduct that train.

[00:03:30] That's Mr. Rogers and that's a trolley.

[00:03:32] Seriously.

[00:03:32] Well, you can even conduct that.

[00:03:33] Doesn't even know fucking vehicles from his ass on the ground.

[00:03:35] He goes uphill.

[00:03:37] What?

[00:03:37] Yeah, some assholes are always trying to ice skate uphill.

[00:03:40] Hey Ben, what's your favorite train?

[00:03:42] Ooh.

[00:03:45] I'm gonna go-

[00:03:47] I'm gonna go steam locomotive.

[00:03:50] Nice.

[00:03:50] Yeah.

[00:03:51] Brad, what's your favorite train?

[00:03:52] The one that we're running on chicks.

[00:03:54] Oh my God!

[00:03:56] What?

[00:03:57] Again!

[00:03:58] Derailed!

[00:03:58] This was innocent.

[00:03:59] And it was a train joke.

[00:04:00] We could have some fun.

[00:04:01] We have a nice train conversation.

[00:04:03] Ben, let me ask you something.

[00:04:04] Is it about trains?

[00:04:06] What's-

[00:04:06] What's the most fun you have with baked goods?

[00:04:11] Did you add a boat before you came?

[00:04:13] No, actually.

[00:04:14] This is just all me.

[00:04:15] This is just all Brad, all the time.

[00:04:17] What's my favorite kind of baked good?

[00:04:19] Is that what you said?

[00:04:21] What?

[00:04:21] What was it?

[00:04:22] What's the best time you've ever had-

[00:04:23] With a baked good.

[00:04:24] With a baked good.

[00:04:25] Well, one time I took a-

[00:04:26] I took this crawler on a date.

[00:04:29] Whoa!

[00:04:29] Why you gotta derail it?

[00:04:31] Good apple pie.

[00:04:32] You know what I mean?

[00:04:34] Had the cream inside.

[00:04:35] Yeah, really Jason baked good.

[00:04:36] And it wasn't there before.

[00:04:38] Bigged it up.

[00:04:40] Yeah, my favorite baked good time that I've had is-

[00:04:44] I don't know man.

[00:04:45] Whatever.

[00:04:46] What are we doing?

[00:04:46] Nate, you like having some baked goods?

[00:04:49] I do.

[00:04:50] I like a good baked good.

[00:04:50] Yeah?

[00:04:52] This is so fun.

[00:04:53] Go on.

[00:04:56] I like apple pies.

[00:04:58] I like a good baked good.

[00:04:59] I like the pumpkin pies.

[00:05:01] Do you guys like sweet potato pie?

[00:05:03] No.

[00:05:04] It's like a pumpkin pie.

[00:05:05] No, it's not.

[00:05:07] It is.

[00:05:07] No, it's not good.

[00:05:09] It is like a-

[00:05:10] No, it is.

[00:05:11] No.

[00:05:11] You know, have you ever had like a-

[00:05:12] I forget what they're called.

[00:05:13] They're in the South.

[00:05:14] They're like a sugar pie, like a sugar something pie.

[00:05:16] Sugar pie honey bunch.

[00:05:18] Yeah, they're not great.

[00:05:19] I've never had one.

[00:05:19] There's people in the South that like them.

[00:05:21] They're not good.

[00:05:21] Had a beignet.

[00:05:22] Is it like a beignet?

[00:05:23] No, it's nothing like a beignet.

[00:05:24] Okay, then I don't care.

[00:05:25] Beignet is not-

[00:05:26] I know.

[00:05:26] You speak French now and you think you're better than Ben and I?

[00:05:29] Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

[00:05:30] Have you had the beignet?

[00:05:31] Have I the b-

[00:05:35] That was a good joke.

[00:05:36] Don't do that.

[00:05:37] If you- I swear to God.

[00:05:39] He just came in real quick.

[00:05:41] No, it's not-

[00:05:41] It's not-

[00:05:42] He came in real quick?

[00:05:43] We haven't talked to him in a while.

[00:05:44] We haven't had to talk to him in a while.

[00:05:45] Hey, he was literally here last time.

[00:05:46] No, you come back anytime, buddy.

[00:05:48] You're gonna hurt his feelings.

[00:05:49] Fuck off, Humorbot.

[00:05:50] You're gonna hurt his feelings.

[00:05:51] Is that his name? Jokebot?

[00:05:52] I don't know.

[00:05:53] It's Humorbot.

[00:05:54] You know that.

[00:05:55] You know that.

[00:05:56] And it's Humorbot 2.0.

[00:05:57] You were at the hospital at his birth.

[00:06:00] Wow.

[00:06:01] You know what, guys?

[00:06:02] Why don't you get a handful of this treat?

[00:06:04] Okay.

[00:06:04] Don't look at the front of the bag.

[00:06:05] If you look at the front of the bag, I'll cut your dick off.

[00:06:09] Good luck, Trini.

[00:06:10] Make sure you hand it back, too.

[00:06:14] Nate, if you look at the front of the bag, I swear to God, I will cut one of your testicles off.

[00:06:18] Is this something that I'm gonna want more than one of?

[00:06:20] Maybe.

[00:06:22] What, Ben?

[00:06:24] It's very sweet.

[00:06:25] Okay.

[00:06:29] How is it?

[00:06:30] What do you think?

[00:06:32] Is it cereal?

[00:06:33] Get some of the crunch in there.

[00:06:34] It's cereal.

[00:06:35] This is way too sweet.

[00:06:37] This is the cereal that your pediatrician tells you, oh my God, is that what they've been eating?

[00:06:46] Honestly, that's what it tastes like.

[00:06:47] What's it?

[00:06:52] It's a Chex mix of some sort with a...

[00:06:56] It's like a confetti flavor.

[00:06:57] Yeah.

[00:06:59] Ooh, very good, Ben.

[00:07:00] A funfetti?

[00:07:01] Is it funfetti or confetti?

[00:07:02] It's funfetti flavored Muddy Buddies.

[00:07:04] Mm-hmm.

[00:07:04] Oh, so they got the chocolate in there, too?

[00:07:06] I only have one with chocolate.

[00:07:07] No, it's a white chocolate because it's funfetti coated, so it's like funfetti frosting.

[00:07:11] What's muddy about it, then?

[00:07:12] That's just the name of the original name that they have for their chocolate peanut butter

[00:07:16] cover ones.

[00:07:17] But in this one specifically, why is it muddy?

[00:07:19] Well, it's white muddy.

[00:07:20] Hmm.

[00:07:20] That's not mud, and I think you know that.

[00:07:22] There's white mud.

[00:07:24] There's white mud.

[00:07:26] There's white mud.

[00:07:29] That's not mud.

[00:07:30] That's not mud.

[00:07:30] That's not mud.

[00:07:30] What is it, then?

[00:07:32] That would be like...

[00:07:33] Wood?

[00:07:34] It would be like a mixture of silt and dirt from the gravel, but that would not be mud.

[00:07:42] What makes it mud?

[00:07:44] You idiot.

[00:07:50] You dumb bastard.

[00:07:53] Yeah, I don't even know what mud is.

[00:07:55] I do.

[00:07:55] I do actually...

[00:07:56] Dust from gravel does not make mud.

[00:07:57] Well, genuine question, though.

[00:07:58] Does mud have to be defined by water and dirt?

[00:08:02] I feel like the answer to that is probably.

[00:08:05] You don't think mud could just be like...

[00:08:07] I mean, that's the way it used to be, but...

[00:08:09] Any kind of...

[00:08:09] Not these days.

[00:08:11] Now it identifies as something different.

[00:08:13] Wow.

[00:08:14] You don't think that mud could be like a different kind of dirt that has a different pigment to

[00:08:19] it?

[00:08:19] I mean, if you take potting soil...

[00:08:22] I can't believe we're having this fucking thing.

[00:08:24] But fuck it.

[00:08:25] Fuck it.

[00:08:25] Hey, you know what?

[00:08:26] Listener, buckle the fuck up.

[00:08:27] If you have potting soil and it's high-grade potting soil that you buy from the store in

[00:08:31] the white bag that's plastic, and you have to rip it open, and you take a handful

[00:08:34] of that, and you put it in a pitcher of water, and you mix it around, and then you

[00:08:37] drain it, and dry it.

[00:08:39] It's going to be clumpy and dirt.

[00:08:41] But then if you get it a little bit moist again, and it go around in your hands, you

[00:08:43] can make mud out of that, I'm sure.

[00:08:45] Right?

[00:08:45] Same thing happens outside.

[00:08:46] You dig a hole in the ground, put water in it.

[00:08:48] It's just...

[00:08:49] It's the proper mud.

[00:08:51] Mud means the proper dirt-to-water ratio.

[00:08:54] It has to just be...

[00:08:55] That's what my guess is.

[00:08:57] Because if you've got too much dirt and a little bit of water, it's not going to be

[00:09:00] mud.

[00:09:00] Nate, look up the definition of mud and see what it says.

[00:09:03] But I feel like it's going to be like, you've got to have enough water, but not too

[00:09:05] much.

[00:09:06] You bring up an interesting point, because I do wonder if it has to do with the consistency.

[00:09:10] Because does it have to be goopy to be mud, or can it be like...

[00:09:12] Because you say a mud puddle, but a mud puddle's not goopy, it's just wet dirt.

[00:09:16] I think that might be a misnomer.

[00:09:18] I think people just see wet in a pothole and go, oh, that's a mud puddle.

[00:09:21] But it's not really.

[00:09:22] Are you ready for the definition?

[00:09:24] Yeah.

[00:09:25] Did you bring up a Matthew McCartney movie?

[00:09:27] Hold on.

[00:09:27] The water in a pothole wouldn't be mud.

[00:09:31] That's a puddle, but it's not a mud puddle.

[00:09:33] But people would call that a mud puddle.

[00:09:34] I don't know if they'd call it a mud puddle, I think they'd call it a puddle, but they

[00:09:36] wouldn't call it a mud puddle.

[00:09:37] No, no.

[00:09:37] But for example, in the parking lot at La Portima's gutter, if I saw a puddle of the

[00:09:43] rocks in the gravel, I'd call that mud.

[00:09:44] Yeah, no.

[00:09:45] That's not mud.

[00:09:46] Hmm.

[00:09:48] Do you want to really look it up, Nate?

[00:09:50] I do.

[00:09:50] By the way, the listener on pins and needles right now.

[00:09:53] They're going to be just as invested in this as we are because they love us and who

[00:09:56] we are.

[00:09:57] You know what they're going to do?

[00:09:58] These fucking idiots don't know what mud is.

[00:10:01] All three of them.

[00:10:02] Because Nate hasn't just chimed in with, by the way, idiots.

[00:10:04] Here it is.

[00:10:05] I'm keeping quiet for a reason.

[00:10:07] Mud is a loam, silt, or clay mixed with water.

[00:10:12] Oh, so it's not dirt.

[00:10:13] See?

[00:10:14] So it's a clay.

[00:10:16] Well, loam is a soil.

[00:10:18] Loam would be considered soil, yeah.

[00:10:19] Composed mostly of sand, silt, and a smaller amount of clay.

[00:10:23] So loam is not dirt.

[00:10:25] Oh, well, so that's...

[00:10:26] That's...

[00:10:27] I'm wrong.

[00:10:28] It's not dirt and water.

[00:10:29] Well, but to be fair though, that's more of like the definition of like the mud that

[00:10:33] you would find to like make pottery and stuff like that, right?

[00:10:35] I think that that's what they're talking about.

[00:10:37] Like he's on the mud wiki.

[00:10:39] Huh, interesting.

[00:10:40] Yeah.

[00:10:41] That's weird.

[00:10:42] We just learned something today.

[00:10:43] We did.

[00:10:44] Mud is not dirt.

[00:10:45] Oh, wait, wait, wait.

[00:10:46] Oh, wait, wait.

[00:10:47] Wait.

[00:10:49] Um, so...

[00:10:50] No, Brad.

[00:10:51] You can't just push the fucking bike away and act like you didn't shovel four more of

[00:10:55] these fucking Chex Mix confetti funfittios.

[00:10:58] I'm having a money chat.

[00:10:59] Oh, you know what?

[00:11:00] I'll just put just like...

[00:11:01] All right, guys.

[00:11:02] Here's the thing is...

[00:11:03] All right.

[00:11:04] What you were talking about, that was limestone, I assume, right?

[00:11:07] The stuff in your...

[00:11:08] Yeah, it's...

[00:11:09] Let's just say that it is.

[00:11:10] Yeah.

[00:11:11] All right.

[00:11:11] No, a mixture of limestone and water is not considered mud.

[00:11:14] While limestone can contain some mud-like components, when mixed with water, it primarily creates

[00:11:20] a suspension of fine calcium carbonate particles, not a true mud consistency due to its rock-like

[00:11:26] nature.

[00:11:27] But see, but that is...

[00:11:28] That, I guess, presumes that the mud is again a clay consistency and not a mud puddle.

[00:11:32] This is all getting cut.

[00:11:33] I don't care.

[00:11:35] I don't care if we say the funniest thing ever next.

[00:11:37] This is all getting cut.

[00:11:38] There's no way I'm leaving this in.

[00:11:40] You don't edit anything.

[00:11:42] I will protest.

[00:11:43] Also, they're called mud flaps, but no one's driving through mud.

[00:11:47] I thought you were going to make a really inappropriate joke.

[00:11:50] I did too.

[00:11:51] You're like, they're called mud flaps, but I ain't seen it set on them until you turn

[00:11:54] 42.

[00:11:55] What the fuck?

[00:12:02] They call them mud flaps, I ain't never seen them.

[00:12:05] Shit.

[00:12:06] Shit.

[00:12:06] You ever seen the mud flaps?

[00:12:08] I ain't seen them.

[00:12:08] Well, guys, you know what?

[00:12:10] Funfetti money buddy is from Chex Mixer in stores now, so make sure you give them a shot.

[00:12:15] Well, hells Bill, give me a good look at them mud flaps there, Tina.

[00:12:18] Yeah, well, you've been working here two weeks.

[00:12:20] I ain't never seen them mud flaps.

[00:12:24] Anyway, welcome to IBM.

[00:12:27] What's that?

[00:12:28] The computer company?

[00:12:29] Yep.

[00:12:30] Bet you didn't think this kind of guy worked there.

[00:12:32] What's his job?

[00:12:33] Well, he's a computer programmer.

[00:12:36] Just because I get this accent, I don't know Python.

[00:12:40] That's really funny.

[00:12:43] Tech savvy redneck.

[00:12:44] I still want to see them goddamn mud flaps.

[00:12:47] He's horny, but he's a great engineer.

[00:12:49] Listen, I get the projects done, I get the projects done, you know what I'm saying?

[00:12:54] Oh my gosh, what's the last movie you saw, Ben?

[00:12:58] Hells Bill, I don't remember if I can drop this accent, you know?

[00:13:00] This is my best Bill Murray.

[00:13:01] Oh boy, that's not...

[00:13:02] All right, anyway.

[00:13:04] I have been introducing Ender and Rune, eight and ten year old Ender and Rune to Harry Potter series.

[00:13:12] We watched the first two, tonight is going to be The Prisoner of Azkaban.

[00:13:15] By the way, perfect around Christmas time.

[00:13:17] Yeah, great Christmas films.

[00:13:18] These have become Christmas movies for me.

[00:13:20] Absolutely.

[00:13:20] And you know, what's interesting is they're not really like Christmas-y.

[00:13:24] They have snowy scenes because there are moments that they place at Christmas, but they're not primarily set at Christmas.

[00:13:29] No, but they feel Christmas-y now.

[00:13:31] In the second one, in the Grand Hall, Christmas trees everywhere.

[00:13:34] Great Hall.

[00:13:35] Whatever, Great Hall.

[00:13:36] Oh, Jesus.

[00:13:38] Oh boy, here we go.

[00:13:39] You've freaking...

[00:13:39] Can't wait to have detailed conversations about the Potterverse.

[00:13:42] He's a muggle.

[00:13:43] I know, right?

[00:13:43] Well, actually a muggle is a mixture of dirt and water and magic.

[00:13:48] No, that's a mud blood.

[00:13:49] Well, that's just a half-breed.

[00:13:50] But it's not actual mud.

[00:13:53] Ah, kind of like more of a limestone mixture.

[00:13:58] And you thought it was going to be worth it.

[00:14:02] Calcium flores.

[00:14:06] Stupid.

[00:14:07] What the fuck are we doing?

[00:14:10] Brad hasn't done an edible.

[00:14:11] I haven't went to have one sip of alcohol.

[00:14:12] This is just what we do.

[00:14:13] This is just what we're doing on a Wednesday night.

[00:14:15] Tell us the mud flaps.

[00:14:17] No, but there is...

[00:14:19] In the Grand Hall, there are plenty of Christmas trees in the second movie.

[00:14:22] Oh no, for sure.

[00:14:22] And so there is an actual Christmas element.

[00:14:24] They have a proper Christmas scene in Sorcerer's Stone.

[00:14:26] You know, they go to Hogsmeade during Christmas time and prisoner of Azkaban.

[00:14:30] Brad, it's the Philosopher's Stone.

[00:14:34] Okay, Braden.

[00:14:35] Oh, British knight over here.

[00:14:36] One thing that I did notice about this,

[00:14:38] thanks for bringing that up actually,

[00:14:39] is yes, these movies were made in 2001.

[00:14:43] Started in 2001, yeah.

[00:14:44] And so the second one came out in 2002 or 2003?

[00:14:46] I think it was 2002.

[00:14:48] So I can't remember the first second one,

[00:14:50] but back then they really didn't give a shit about extra casting as far as teeth.

[00:14:55] Oh no, that's just British teeth.

[00:14:56] Well, I know.

[00:14:57] I know that.

[00:14:57] But also, like, you know, Harry Potter has good teeth, right?

[00:15:02] They know that it's important to have the character not have truly fucked teeth.

[00:15:05] There are a couple of scenes where they just cut to the crowd scenes in the Grand Hall.

[00:15:10] It's the Great Hall.

[00:15:11] Whatever.

[00:15:12] Grand Hall, Great Hall.

[00:15:13] Uh, holy fucking dentistry.

[00:15:17] There are some hurl, like they're just out there and you're going,

[00:15:21] that kid should not be captured on film because it's going to grow out of that hopefully or get surgery.

[00:15:26] But that right there is, that's a horror character.

[00:15:29] Like Nigel Underbottom.

[00:15:31] You talking about David Huckleberry?

[00:15:33] I will try to find the screenshot of it and send it to you.

[00:15:36] It's in...

[00:15:37] Neville Longbottom.

[00:15:37] He's, he's fine compared to this one kid.

[00:15:40] And plus Neville Longbottom becomes a fucking thirst trap by the time that, yeah, the end of the movies are done.

[00:15:45] Come on.

[00:15:45] Spoiler alert.

[00:15:46] Yeah.

[00:15:46] Wow, I get wet.

[00:15:47] More like Neville Long in front.

[00:15:49] I don't think to...

[00:15:52] You said it was 2001?

[00:15:53] Yeah.

[00:15:53] That was when the first one came out.

[00:15:54] Yeah.

[00:15:54] I don't think the missionaries have brought dental care to England yet.

[00:15:57] Yeah, fair.

[00:15:58] Which missionaries?

[00:16:00] What?

[00:16:01] The dentists.

[00:16:02] Dentistry missionaries.

[00:16:03] Oh, like from America.

[00:16:04] The dental angels from America.

[00:16:05] Are there dentists missionaries?

[00:16:07] Yeah.

[00:16:07] Yeah, they fix cleft palates and stuff.

[00:16:09] Yeah.

[00:16:10] That's not a dentist thing.

[00:16:11] Sure.

[00:16:11] It can be.

[00:16:12] It could be.

[00:16:13] It's not having anything to do with teeth.

[00:16:14] Why do you minimize the Lord?

[00:16:17] Yeah.

[00:16:17] You don't even know what mud is.

[00:16:18] And also you don't know what mud is.

[00:16:20] Seriously dumb.

[00:16:21] I know more about mud than you do.

[00:16:22] Well now we are all learned folks and we know about mud.

[00:16:25] We know about mud.

[00:16:26] The teeth are fucked in that movie.

[00:16:27] Anyway.

[00:16:28] How far into the franchise are you?

[00:16:30] We're literally, like I just said earlier, if you were paying attention.

[00:16:32] Two movies.

[00:16:33] We're starting the third one tonight.

[00:16:34] Oh, so you haven't watched the third one yet.

[00:16:36] Correct.

[00:16:36] So if he's finished two, that means he has now.

[00:16:39] I thought you were watching the third one last night.

[00:16:40] My God, no.

[00:16:41] What is wrong with you?

[00:16:42] So yeah, those have been, it's been fun.

[00:16:44] A lot of stuff that I just, I've seen those movies probably two or three times in my life.

[00:16:48] And.

[00:16:49] That's it?

[00:16:49] Yeah.

[00:16:50] And the first and second ones, I misremembered.

[00:16:54] They are more of course the children's version and then the third one amps up the maturity.

[00:16:58] But they're still pretty good for being, you know, the first two movies.

[00:17:02] They have some things I'm like, hmm, that's a little too kiddy-ish.

[00:17:06] But like it works for the vibe of the movies.

[00:17:08] And like in the second one.

[00:17:09] It's kind of supposed to be that though, right?

[00:17:11] The minister of the dark arts is, it's very overplayed that, whatever.

[00:17:15] The minister of the dark arts.

[00:17:16] Isn't that what I said?

[00:17:17] It's a professor of the dark arts.

[00:17:19] It's a school.

[00:17:19] It's not a fucking parliament.

[00:17:22] Is this how it's going to be?

[00:17:23] The minister of magic is later.

[00:17:25] Oh my God.

[00:17:25] Jesus.

[00:17:26] Just stop talking about Harry Potter.

[00:17:27] Just stop it.

[00:17:28] Okay.

[00:17:29] Just learn the terms.

[00:17:30] I don't care, man.

[00:17:32] So Darth Vader takes out his laser sword.

[00:17:34] Yeah.

[00:17:34] And he's swinging it around.

[00:17:36] And he says, I'm using the first.

[00:17:39] Using the first, Luke.

[00:17:41] Fucking idiot.

[00:17:42] That's what you sound like.

[00:17:44] Uh huh.

[00:17:45] Oh yeah.

[00:17:46] What's your point?

[00:17:48] You're dumb.

[00:17:50] Uh, yeah.

[00:17:51] So I saw those.

[00:17:52] Um, trying to think if I saw any other, uh, more mature films, uh, without the kids.

[00:17:58] It's gross.

[00:18:00] I saw any more adult films.

[00:18:01] Indiana, you have to be confirmed to see those films.

[00:18:03] You see some adult films lately?

[00:18:05] I don't know.

[00:18:05] Like Christian confirmed?

[00:18:07] No, you have to give your ID, right?

[00:18:09] Is that the rule?

[00:18:09] Oh yeah.

[00:18:09] There's a porn hub.

[00:18:10] You have to put in your zip code.

[00:18:13] Tell us how that changed.

[00:18:13] Yeah, Brad, how's that work?

[00:18:14] I don't even think you can do that anymore.

[00:18:15] I think that they're just not doing it in Indiana because of the age thing.

[00:18:18] Who's watching you?

[00:18:19] Who's watching you?

[00:18:21] Who's letting you know I'm watching you, buddy?

[00:18:22] Yeah, we'll take a look at you.

[00:18:24] Um, yeah.

[00:18:25] So, uh, we watched Prancer.

[00:18:28] All three of us watched Prancer.

[00:18:30] We're in the run up to, uh, to Prancerpalooza 2024.

[00:18:34] There will be one every year now.

[00:18:36] Yeah, uh, Prancerpalooza, they're gonna watch Prancer for 24 hours straight and see who

[00:18:41] can make it the longest.

[00:18:42] Uh, that'd actually be hilarious if we do that.

[00:18:44] Spoiler alert.

[00:18:45] Um, we'll, we'll wait until after we do Prancerpalooza or maybe talk about it more in earnest.

[00:18:50] But I will say it's just, it's a lot more depressing than I remember a Christmas movie

[00:18:55] to be.

[00:18:56] It does, as we talked about a little bit, it has a little more of a, there's a little

[00:19:00] bit of an indie vibe to this film more than I thought.

[00:19:03] Yeah.

[00:19:03] Like, honestly.

[00:19:04] It's a lot more of a family drama than it is like an uplifting Christmas movie.

[00:19:07] Yeah.

[00:19:07] And it has some moments of whimsy and like kindness, but.

[00:19:10] Some, but I don't think much.

[00:19:12] But yeah, no, it's, it's a tough movie.

[00:19:13] And I, I think that there's a reason that even though we had this on VHS, it was, it was

[00:19:18] not one of my favorite Christmas movies to watch every year.

[00:19:21] It's hard to watch.

[00:19:22] You can understand why I loved it.

[00:19:24] Oh yeah.

[00:19:25] It's a sad movie.

[00:19:25] Yeah, of course.

[00:19:26] And you're, you're like Sam Elliott.

[00:19:27] That's my dad.

[00:19:28] But, but here's the thing.

[00:19:30] It's a good, if not borderline great movie.

[00:19:33] Like I really liked that movie.

[00:19:34] No, no.

[00:19:34] It is.

[00:19:34] Yeah.

[00:19:34] It's, it's solid.

[00:19:35] Yeah.

[00:19:35] Maybe now like it more as an adult than I did as a kid.

[00:19:38] Oh, absolutely.

[00:19:38] Yeah.

[00:19:39] Cause Ben's like, I understand what he's going through.

[00:19:41] Yeah.

[00:19:41] These kids, you know.

[00:19:44] We'll, you know what?

[00:19:45] We'll save it.

[00:19:46] We'll talk about it after Prancer for Loser because we will be able to tell you guys, uh, we interviewed,

[00:19:51] uh, at that point we will have interviewed John Hancock, the director, as well as a litany

[00:19:55] of the stars of the film.

[00:19:56] Including the, the grown woman now who played the little girl at the time.

[00:19:59] So we might actually do a special episode about Prancer because why not?

[00:20:03] Yeah.

[00:20:04] Maybe we'll even release the Q and A here as like a bonus episode.

[00:20:07] That'd be kind of cool.

[00:20:08] Let's see when you get that done.

[00:20:09] Yeah.

[00:20:09] Charlie Young, you're up.

[00:20:11] And, uh, and maybe, maybe we'll, I don't know, make our own Prancer.

[00:20:15] Well, now it's a, I feel like that's a bridge too far.

[00:20:18] Like you, I was with you until then.

[00:20:20] And then it's like where we're going to film our own version of Prancer.

[00:20:23] Yeah.

[00:20:23] You don't want to do like a sweeted version of Prancer, like be kind rewind style.

[00:20:28] What do we use as Prancer?

[00:20:30] Anything.

[00:20:30] That's the thing is it's super low budget.

[00:20:32] You can do whatever you want.

[00:20:32] You can get a stuffed animal.

[00:20:33] It would be the same thing.

[00:20:34] So what would you use?

[00:20:35] It doesn't have to be the same thing.

[00:20:36] That's the thing is like for closeup shots, you can use like a detailed action figure

[00:20:39] for like far away shots.

[00:20:41] I could put our little cut out.

[00:20:43] Yeah.

[00:20:43] No, that's right.

[00:20:43] That'd be really fun actually.

[00:20:50] Sounds good.

[00:20:50] I'm ready to make my own Prancer with you guys.

[00:20:52] You know what?

[00:20:52] You've changed my mind.

[00:20:54] I'm totally in for remaking Prancer.

[00:20:56] Yeah.

[00:20:56] All you gotta do is just think about it and put your mind to it and you can do anything,

[00:20:59] Ben.

[00:21:00] I've been saying that for years for you.

[00:21:01] You know what?

[00:21:02] I gotta believe in myself a little bit more.

[00:21:04] Yeah.

[00:21:04] That's the place to start.

[00:21:05] Myself?

[00:21:07] Or making Prancer.

[00:21:09] Believing in yourself.

[00:21:09] Oh, sorry.

[00:21:10] I thought you were making Prancer was where to start.

[00:21:11] And you know what that's from?

[00:21:12] The theme song from Arthur.

[00:21:15] I'm very confused now.

[00:21:18] You know the kids cartoon Arthur?

[00:21:19] Oh, I thought you made the movie with Dudley Moore.

[00:21:21] Yeah.

[00:21:22] I figured that as well.

[00:21:23] That's why I was like, what's going on here?

[00:21:25] Was that Russell Brand redid?

[00:21:25] No, I'm talking about-

[00:21:26] Yeah, you were a big Russell Brand fan.

[00:21:28] No, I'm talking about the cartoon Arthur with the aardvark.

[00:21:32] A little before my time.

[00:21:33] Actually, it would be really funny-

[00:21:34] Or a little after my time?

[00:21:35] After your time.

[00:21:36] Yeah, because I never watched Arthur.

[00:21:37] There was also a Russell-

[00:21:38] But that was just because you were a pretentious little prick.

[00:21:40] There was a movie where Russell Brand played Arthur the aardvark.

[00:21:46] Really?

[00:21:46] No.

[00:21:48] Because now I'm like, I don't know.

[00:21:50] I give up.

[00:21:50] I don't even know what mud is.

[00:21:52] I can't be expected to know these things.

[00:21:54] Listen, why can't I take DW outside and shoot her in the face?

[00:21:58] Is that Dudley Moore?

[00:21:59] That's Russell Brand as Arthur.

[00:22:01] Okay, alright.

[00:22:02] But not the drunk Arthur.

[00:22:03] The aardvark Arthur.

[00:22:05] Oh.

[00:22:08] This is more confusing than I would like it to be.

[00:22:11] And again, I haven't had a sip of alcohol and I cannot keep track of what's going on now.

[00:22:16] I know you've had a sip of alcohol.

[00:22:17] I haven't had one yet.

[00:22:18] I don't believe that for a second.

[00:22:19] Hold on, hold on.

[00:22:26] That was actually Brad not me.

[00:22:27] I would be very clear that I don't drink like a fucking animal.

[00:22:31] Well.

[00:22:32] Anyway.

[00:22:33] Yeah, that's it.

[00:22:33] That's all.

[00:22:34] Those are the movies I've seen.

[00:22:35] That's all you've seen?

[00:22:36] I don't remember anymore.

[00:22:37] What about your same movie?

[00:22:38] I didn't have an assignment this week.

[00:22:39] Are you sure about that?

[00:22:40] I'm very sure about that.

[00:22:41] Okay.

[00:22:41] You all had the same movie.

[00:22:42] No, no.

[00:22:43] You had the same movie.

[00:22:44] Oh.

[00:22:45] And I swear to God.

[00:22:46] I swear on my mother.

[00:22:47] I did?

[00:22:48] Yes.

[00:22:48] The same one that you didn't watch.

[00:22:50] He knows.

[00:22:51] He knows what he's doing.

[00:22:52] Okay.

[00:22:52] I got a little upset.

[00:22:53] Like Alfalfa, he's a little rascal.

[00:22:55] Stop it.

[00:23:11] Got ourselves three stooges here.

[00:23:14] What is that?

[00:23:16] What is that laugh?

[00:23:18] Gunsmoke.

[00:23:20] Are you just naming things?

[00:23:22] What is wrong with you tonight?

[00:23:23] I'm just having fun with classic TV.

[00:23:24] You don't like that fun?

[00:23:25] Bonanza.

[00:23:26] See?

[00:23:27] That's good one.

[00:23:27] Yeah, you can do it too.

[00:23:30] I've got one.

[00:23:31] Oh, fuck.

[00:23:32] Yes.

[00:23:34] Classic TV processing.

[00:23:37] Scrubs.

[00:23:38] He's a slow computer and he didn't even reach back far enough.

[00:23:41] Yeah, exactly.

[00:23:42] Is that that classic?

[00:23:43] It is 30 years ago now, I guess.

[00:23:45] I know, but like 1999 to 2007.

[00:23:48] Yeah.

[00:23:49] Updating processing.

[00:23:50] Birth of a Nation.

[00:23:52] Oh my God.

[00:23:53] That's a movie.

[00:23:54] What?

[00:23:54] About racism in the Ku Klux Klan.

[00:23:56] It's from far away a long time ago.

[00:23:59] Funny.

[00:24:01] Humor bot, go upstairs.

[00:24:03] Okay, bye.

[00:24:04] Nate, what was the last movie we saw, buddy?

[00:24:09] Did he say Birth of a Nation?

[00:24:13] Holy shit.

[00:24:14] Yeah, we gotta get it worked on.

[00:24:16] Sure did, Ben.

[00:24:17] Well, hey, listen.

[00:24:19] There's something going on with his programming.

[00:24:20] Oh my God.

[00:24:21] I'm gonna call my buddy, he works at IBM.

[00:24:23] Commitment to the...

[00:24:24] He's gonna fix him.

[00:24:25] Son of a bitch.

[00:24:27] That stupid fucking universe you've created, where some fucking redneck works on humor bot

[00:24:32] and wants to see mud flaps, you fucking asshole.

[00:24:34] Yeah, welcome to my...

[00:24:36] Welcome to the Beniverse.

[00:24:37] You had to take something shitty and turn it into something hilarious.

[00:24:39] Yeah, that's what I do.

[00:24:41] Nate, what was the last movie you saw, hurry, before Ben comes up with another stupid character?

[00:24:44] So I recently watched a film where the character is disappointed.

[00:24:54] You okay?

[00:24:55] This is every movie you've ever seen.

[00:24:58] The main character is disappointed because she is celebrating a great win at her job.

[00:25:04] She gets named partner at the law firm she's working at.

[00:25:07] Oh no.

[00:25:08] And...

[00:25:10] Oh no.

[00:25:11] Fuck, I can't believe I fell for this already.

[00:25:13] After she gets named a partner, she realizes she has no one to celebrate this win.

[00:25:18] Oh boy.

[00:25:19] And her assistant, who is gay, feels bad for her.

[00:25:24] Yep.

[00:25:25] She meets this woman out in a cab and this woman, kind of like an angel, transports her

[00:25:33] back to the 90s.

[00:25:35] Oh boy.

[00:25:36] Yep.

[00:25:36] Because this woman who is lonely, who's experiencing radical career success at this point, is also

[00:25:48] hiding some demons.

[00:25:50] She's afraid to go back home.

[00:25:52] I don't stress how radical the success at work is.

[00:25:55] Mm-hmm.

[00:25:56] It's life changing.

[00:25:57] Yeah, it really was for her.

[00:25:59] But, she's running.

[00:26:01] She's running from her home.

[00:26:04] Because, she wants to be a career woman, but doesn't know how to balance being someone

[00:26:14] that is also a daughter and a sister.

[00:26:17] We've all been there.

[00:26:18] Yeah, who hasn't?

[00:26:19] And so, this angel...

[00:26:20] Hey Brad, I'm buying my time pretty good.

[00:26:22] How about you?

[00:26:22] Yeah.

[00:26:23] Okay.

[00:26:23] This angel transports her back to the 90s.

[00:26:27] Whoa.

[00:26:28] And this is the heart of Hallmark's A 90s Christmas.

[00:26:33] Okay.

[00:26:34] Okay, we got through that.

[00:26:35] Is it really called A 90s Christmas?

[00:26:37] You bet your ass it is.

[00:26:38] That's all they...

[00:26:39] That's the title they came up with.

[00:26:40] A 90s Christmas.

[00:26:41] Yep.

[00:26:41] And it travels back to the 90s.

[00:26:43] Not very 90s, might I add.

[00:26:45] It's like, they don't even de-age them because they got no money to de-age.

[00:26:49] Of course.

[00:26:49] They don't even add some special makeup to see if they're going to make them look a little

[00:26:53] younger.

[00:26:53] They just use the same actors looking the same way?

[00:26:56] Absolutely, they do.

[00:26:58] They just tell you it's the 90s.

[00:27:00] Well, to be fair, that's not an uncharacteristic approach for that kind of movie because Hot Tub Time

[00:27:06] Machine, they go back to the 80s and you see them in the mirror as what they look like

[00:27:10] in their younger selves, but the entire movie you see John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry

[00:27:15] as the older version of themselves.

[00:27:17] No, no, no, no, no.

[00:27:17] They're supposed to look younger.

[00:27:18] Hallmark didn't do that.

[00:27:19] No, no, I know, but they do appear younger in Hot Tub Time Machine to the people in that

[00:27:25] time.

[00:27:25] But they didn't set that up at all.

[00:27:27] Well, no, and they didn't have the money for that, I'm sure.

[00:27:29] Either way.

[00:27:29] For one scene.

[00:27:30] To pay for three extra actors.

[00:27:32] She does look...

[00:27:33] Yeah, so for instance, her sister is in the same way.

[00:27:36] She is in the scene in the current timeline.

[00:27:38] Yeah.

[00:27:39] But also, her sister is in the one from 20 years ago.

[00:27:45] Is or isn't?

[00:27:46] She is.

[00:27:46] Oh, okay.

[00:27:47] She's in the 99 one.

[00:27:48] Looks exactly the same.

[00:27:49] So does she ever see herself in the mirror?

[00:27:52] She does.

[00:27:53] And she looks into the mirror and...

[00:27:56] Is she younger?

[00:27:57] Well, she has bangs.

[00:28:00] But she doesn't look younger.

[00:28:01] But is this the same actress?

[00:28:02] Same actress, same look.

[00:28:04] Just with bangs.

[00:28:05] Same wrinkles.

[00:28:07] Okay.

[00:28:07] Just with bangs.

[00:28:08] But what's really alarming is...

[00:28:10] Okay, so you could take like a 35 year old and make them a little makeup and stuff like

[00:28:16] that can make them look a little bit 10 years younger.

[00:28:20] Yeah.

[00:28:20] The mom, right?

[00:28:22] So you do, as Ben and I know, you do a lot of aging from 40 to 55, 60.

[00:28:29] I mean, I did a lot of aging from 37 to 43.

[00:28:32] It's just embarrassing.

[00:28:35] And so like the mom, they didn't even try to de-age in any way with makeup or anything.

[00:28:41] Oh boy.

[00:28:41] It is...

[00:28:41] It's pretty bad.

[00:28:42] How?

[00:28:43] So on a rating of Nate's Hallmark sale from 9.5 out of 10 to 10 out of 10, how good was

[00:28:51] this film?

[00:28:52] Oh, this was really bad.

[00:28:52] This is the worst time I've watched so far.

[00:28:53] So the 8.9.

[00:28:54] Nate, let me ask you something.

[00:28:56] What do you get out of this?

[00:29:00] That's a real question.

[00:29:02] I like Christmas.

[00:29:03] Yeah, but why do you want to ruin it?

[00:29:05] Yeah, but why do you watch the crap?

[00:29:07] Like you're wasting time.

[00:29:07] Like this is time you could spend watching like really good movies.

[00:29:10] Here's what I like.

[00:29:11] I like the 90s.

[00:29:12] And I thought, 90s Christmas?

[00:29:14] No, no, no, no.

[00:29:14] You don't get that excuse because you do this all the time.

[00:29:17] If it's a new Hallmark Christmas movie, you're going to watch it.

[00:29:19] And it doesn't mean...

[00:29:19] No, that's not true.

[00:29:20] There's about 50 new ones that I've not watched.

[00:29:23] Yeah.

[00:29:23] But like it's still just December 4th.

[00:29:25] So I mean...

[00:29:26] You got time, buddy.

[00:29:27] Nothing but time.

[00:29:28] You put a good actress in there.

[00:29:30] Who?

[00:29:31] Anybody famous?

[00:29:32] Lindsay Lohan?

[00:29:33] No, not on this one.

[00:29:34] No, this one.

[00:29:35] Clearly, nobody that even has a Wikipedia page.

[00:29:38] Wow.

[00:29:39] Okay.

[00:29:39] Okay, so a good one.

[00:29:40] So I did watch...

[00:29:41] So you picked up the best one.

[00:29:42] Yep.

[00:29:42] I watched a couple other ones.

[00:29:44] Okay.

[00:29:44] I watched a film that Brad recommended to me.

[00:29:49] A Christmas film.

[00:29:51] Dear Santa.

[00:29:52] I did not...

[00:29:53] This is a story.

[00:29:54] You son of a bitch.

[00:29:55] Highly recommended.

[00:29:57] Sorry, Jack Black.

[00:29:58] I believe Brad said if you're going to see one movie this holiday season...

[00:30:01] You mother...

[00:30:03] This year.

[00:30:03] This year.

[00:30:04] It's this movie.

[00:30:06] This is...

[00:30:06] Dear Santa, this is starring Jack...

[00:30:10] Hey, don't disparage Jack Black.

[00:30:12] This isn't his fault.

[00:30:13] Oh, it's not?

[00:30:14] No.

[00:30:14] This is one half of the Farrelly brothers' fault.

[00:30:17] Bobby Farrelly.

[00:30:18] So this is Jack Black doing Jack Black, also Little Nicky.

[00:30:26] Okay.

[00:30:27] It is...

[00:30:28] Ben, you'll like this then.

[00:30:29] Yeah, Brad Biali.

[00:30:30] I guess I'm watching it.

[00:30:31] It is not good.

[00:30:33] And it's not the worst film.

[00:30:35] This is much better than a 90s Christmas, I'll say.

[00:30:38] God, could you imagine?

[00:30:39] It's worse than a 90s Christmas.

[00:30:41] But this is just the most phoned in thing I've seen.

[00:30:45] I feel like the sense of humor is very childish.

[00:30:47] It is.

[00:30:47] But it's PG-13.

[00:30:49] Yeah.

[00:30:50] So something that's made for kids.

[00:30:51] What's the most inappropriate joke in it?

[00:30:54] I don't know.

[00:30:55] I think there's some fart things or something like that.

[00:30:57] That's not...

[00:30:57] Exactly.

[00:30:58] That's what I'm saying.

[00:30:58] I don't remember anything really raunchy or anything like a PG-13 rating.

[00:31:04] But they have this...

[00:31:06] I don't want to ruin that name for you guys because I know you're going to see it.

[00:31:09] By all means, go ahead.

[00:31:10] No, no, no.

[00:31:10] Keep it spoiler free.

[00:31:12] Wow.

[00:31:12] It just came out.

[00:31:12] People might want to watch it.

[00:31:14] So I'll say this.

[00:31:16] The movie plays this up.

[00:31:18] The whole idea is this dyslexic kid...

[00:31:22] I'm not kidding.

[00:31:24] Can't spell.

[00:31:25] Has a hard time reading.

[00:31:27] Gets made fun of by his teacher for not being able to read again.

[00:31:30] Who the fuck is Nantas?

[00:31:32] Sends a letter and instead of going to Santa, it goes to who?

[00:31:38] Satin.

[00:31:39] Satin.

[00:31:39] Oh.

[00:31:40] Satin.

[00:31:41] Satin gets it, shows up, and this boy is so dumb he thinks it's Santa.

[00:31:48] This boy is so dumb.

[00:31:50] Maybe he's just an atheist household.

[00:31:53] Santa doesn't have anything to do with Jesus.

[00:31:55] Exactly.

[00:31:55] No, but Satan does, you fucking idiot.

[00:31:57] So if Satan shows up at your door, you'd know who he was if you believed in God and were a church-fearing people.

[00:32:02] But at the end of the day...

[00:32:03] You don't have to believe in God to know that the devil is like a thing in culture.

[00:32:07] And among us.

[00:32:08] And he's among us.

[00:32:11] Wait, he's in the game among us?

[00:32:13] Or he's among us?

[00:32:14] The devil is here.

[00:32:15] Oh my God.

[00:32:16] Chungus.

[00:32:17] Chungus among us.

[00:32:18] And so this boy, you know, he likes this girl.

[00:32:21] You know, it's all the typical like, you have three wishes, I'm Aladdin kind of thing.

[00:32:26] And so, but then there's this twist at the end where...

[00:32:31] All right, go ahead and spoil it.

[00:32:32] If you don't want to, you know, turn this off for the next two minutes if you don't want to hear Nate spoiling Hale Satan.

[00:32:36] Here's a second.

[00:32:37] Oh, sorry.

[00:32:38] Is it Hale Satan?

[00:32:38] Hale Satan's a documentary about Satan.

[00:32:40] At the end, so like one of the traumas is the mom and the dad are separating.

[00:32:45] They're getting...

[00:32:46] And you know, one of the wishes he has is their parents get back together.

[00:32:50] And by the way, Ben Stiller's in this as well.

[00:32:56] And so...

[00:32:57] Oh, that's like a surprise cameo.

[00:32:58] I didn't know he was in it.

[00:32:59] Yeah.

[00:32:59] He plays Lucifer.

[00:33:01] Oh, now I want to see it.

[00:33:04] And so, Jack Black is Satan, but he's really more of like a minion that is in trouble because

[00:33:14] he kind of ends up being not as bad as he should be.

[00:33:17] Right?

[00:33:18] So Satan isn't Satan?

[00:33:20] No.

[00:33:21] He's kind of pretending to be Satan.

[00:33:23] I gotcha.

[00:33:24] And so anyway, so at the end, Jack Black's character comes back and he says, hey buddy,

[00:33:31] I just really like spending time doing these kind of things, whatever.

[00:33:35] And he's like, but you get another wish because your parents actually got back together on their own.

[00:33:43] You didn't...

[00:33:44] That didn't need a wish.

[00:33:45] They got back together.

[00:33:46] And then he said, so what I...

[00:33:48] I wish you were the real Satan.

[00:33:50] So what he did is he actually says, I took what you wrote in the letter, which we've never

[00:33:59] read.

[00:33:59] The viewers never read this letter.

[00:34:01] Right.

[00:34:01] Right?

[00:34:02] And I granted that.

[00:34:04] And what was it?

[00:34:05] To bring his parent back to life.

[00:34:09] No, the parents are alive and they were getting divorced.

[00:34:11] You dummy.

[00:34:12] Do you listen to what Nate says?

[00:34:13] Oh, I thought that was like a remarriage.

[00:34:14] He wouldn't be stupid anymore.

[00:34:16] Oh, kill the parents.

[00:34:17] No.

[00:34:18] No.

[00:34:18] It's to bring the dead little brother back.

[00:34:20] There's a dead little brother?

[00:34:21] Yeah.

[00:34:21] Jesus.

[00:34:22] Oh my God.

[00:34:23] What the fuck?

[00:34:24] That comes out of nowhere?

[00:34:25] And I'm like, whoa.

[00:34:26] Wait, did they indicate that there was a...

[00:34:28] So now you know why the parents were fighting, right?

[00:34:31] Now you know...

[00:34:31] Wait, so they don't tell you?

[00:34:33] Nope.

[00:34:33] The whole movie goes, but you don't know that he's got a dead little brother.

[00:34:36] Nope.

[00:34:36] And that's probably why he's dyslexic.

[00:34:38] That's not fair.

[00:34:39] Yes.

[00:34:41] That's fucked up.

[00:34:43] Whoa.

[00:34:44] Like, you figure out, oh...

[00:34:46] So I think it's supposed to be like an M. Night Shyamalan a little bit.

[00:34:48] You see...

[00:34:48] Oh, now you know why.

[00:34:49] You know what really frustrates me about this is...

[00:34:52] Not only...

[00:34:53] That's a good movie.

[00:34:54] Yeah.

[00:34:54] Not only is the comedic premise for this movie hilarious and it's squandered,

[00:34:58] but just based on what I've seen in the trailer and what you've said,

[00:35:01] but you take a good story that suddenly injects a ton of heart into it at the end

[00:35:06] and you waste that too.

[00:35:08] Yeah, that's...

[00:35:09] You're absolutely right.

[00:35:10] There is actually a film here to be made.

[00:35:12] And Bobby Fairley didn't make it.

[00:35:14] I'm actually really frustrated that they didn't use this to its full potential.

[00:35:16] Like, you should have brought that up earlier in more ways.

[00:35:18] Actually, you should weave that pretty strong through the story about his brother dying.

[00:35:21] Yeah, that's the thing.

[00:35:22] Like, you can paint that as the little boy doesn't understand why the parents had divorced,

[00:35:26] but the viewing audience does because...

[00:35:28] Well, no, actually, I like that they...

[00:35:30] I just wish that they would have done it in a better movie

[00:35:33] because I like that idea of slow rolling that reveal.

[00:35:36] That's not a slow roll.

[00:35:37] That's a slap in the face at the end of the film.

[00:35:39] It is really, literally, the last two minutes of the film.

[00:35:41] Yeah.

[00:35:41] Yeah, so that's...

[00:35:42] There's a good way to do that and have it be,

[00:35:44] because I do appreciate swinging like that.

[00:35:45] Well, listen, if the Fairley brother couldn't do it, then what chance do we have?

[00:35:49] That's a good point.

[00:35:50] No one's done comedy like the Fairley brothers and...

[00:35:53] The Fairley brother.

[00:35:54] Oh, that's true.

[00:35:55] That's one of them.

[00:35:55] All right, I have two more films.

[00:35:56] You just want to eat your fucking fingernails into the microphone forever?

[00:35:58] It's not my fingernails, it's a cuticle.

[00:36:00] No, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:36:00] That's a good point.

[00:36:02] Your first fucking podcast ever?

[00:36:04] We're podcasting here.

[00:36:04] What the fuck is going on over here?

[00:36:05] I got a cuticle on you.

[00:36:06] Oh my God.

[00:36:07] I guarantee you.

[00:36:08] A slash film podcast is professional.

[00:36:11] Fuck you.

[00:36:12] Listen, nose hair goblin.

[00:36:14] I had a nose hair and I had to pick at it, okay?

[00:36:17] But I didn't pick at it.

[00:36:18] You know the fucking mic.

[00:36:19] You look like you've got Jack Black as Satan hiding in your nose.

[00:36:23] All right.

[00:36:24] I saw another Christmas movie, guys.

[00:36:26] Oh, boy.

[00:36:26] Fucking hell.

[00:36:27] This is a movie.

[00:36:28] Another movie.

[00:36:29] There's a big city attorney and she just won the biggest case of her life, but her dad's

[00:36:34] sick and the family farm, Apple Farm is up for sale and she wants to go home and leave

[00:36:41] her big city life behind to save the apple farm, leaving her fiance, who's kind of a dick

[00:36:45] but not really, for no unexplained reason, behind.

[00:36:48] She goes home.

[00:36:48] And he runs an apple store.

[00:36:50] Okay.

[00:36:50] Yeah.

[00:36:51] Yeah.

[00:36:52] It's called Apples to Apples.

[00:36:54] We did it.

[00:36:55] No, this one.

[00:36:56] I mean, you're not super far, but this is a film starring a guy that is a realtor, not

[00:37:03] a, not a, and he's a commercial realtor and his sister and brother-in-law die.

[00:37:12] Jesus Christ.

[00:37:14] Christmas.

[00:37:15] And he gets called in because his sister and his brother-in-law have kids.

[00:37:20] He's got nieces and nephews.

[00:37:21] Oh, I know what movie he's talking about now.

[00:37:23] And they need to find a foster home for them, but they need some time to get them foster

[00:37:28] care.

[00:37:28] Yeah.

[00:37:28] I actually just realized that I didn't talk about this movie on this podcast yet.

[00:37:31] This is a film called what?

[00:37:33] Nutcrackers.

[00:37:34] Nutcracker.

[00:37:35] Nutcrackers.

[00:37:35] Nutcrackers.

[00:37:36] With an S.

[00:37:37] I said it with an S.

[00:37:37] This is a new film directed by David Gordon Green, written by Leland Douglas and starring

[00:37:43] Ben Stiller.

[00:37:44] Cameo by Ben Stiller.

[00:37:45] No, it's a lead role.

[00:37:46] It's actually his first lead role since 2017.

[00:37:49] The movie was The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

[00:37:52] No, actually it was called Brad Status.

[00:37:53] This film hit me.

[00:37:55] I actually like this film.

[00:37:56] I was really shocked that this has such poor ratings.

[00:38:00] It has poor ratings?

[00:38:01] It's got like a 23% on Rotten Tomatoes.

[00:38:03] No.

[00:38:04] That's ridiculous.

[00:38:05] I actually like this film.

[00:38:06] You haven't seen it yet.

[00:38:07] Yes, I have.

[00:38:08] I watched it interview the fucking director, you idiot.

[00:38:11] Oh, I thought you were just going off of the trailer.

[00:38:12] In our text story, you said, Nate, you're going to like this film.

[00:38:14] Yeah.

[00:38:15] I watched this movie like three weeks ago, you fuck.

[00:38:18] And you're that bad at your job that you don't know that it's a bad movie?

[00:38:20] Oh my God.

[00:38:21] So you liked this film?

[00:38:22] I really liked this movie.

[00:38:23] I was surprised by how good it was.

[00:38:25] I will tell you this, when you go into this film...

[00:38:27] Well, when he said Halo Satan is his favorite film of the year, what are you expecting?

[00:38:30] It's called Dear Santa.

[00:38:32] Well, of course, you need to get it right for everybody.

[00:38:34] I got a pull quote on it.

[00:38:36] I mean, he would like it better if he did.

[00:38:39] But this film...

[00:38:40] It's the funniest Christmas comedy of the year.

[00:38:43] This film has a very unique tone.

[00:38:45] And I think this is why some people might not like it.

[00:38:48] It's very grounded.

[00:38:49] It is very grounded.

[00:38:50] It is almost slow at times.

[00:38:53] It is very...

[00:38:56] Not confusing in the plot, but it's emotionally all over the place at times.

[00:39:01] Yeah.

[00:39:01] That's really what I appreciated about it though.

[00:39:02] That's exactly right.

[00:39:03] In a good way.

[00:39:04] Yeah.

[00:39:04] In a good way.

[00:39:05] Where Ben Stiller is...

[00:39:07] It kind of almost reminded me of an early 2000s type of independent type of film that

[00:39:12] I really liked.

[00:39:12] For me, it just felt like a throwback to the kind of slightly edgy family comedies they

[00:39:18] used to make in the 80s and 90s.

[00:39:21] Name one.

[00:39:22] Like Uncle Buck.

[00:39:23] Okay.

[00:39:24] Name another one.

[00:39:25] Like Uncle Buck.

[00:39:26] Like Uncle Buck.

[00:39:29] Parenthood.

[00:39:30] Gotcha.

[00:39:31] Okay.

[00:39:31] I mean, good.

[00:39:32] I'm not going to ask you to do the third one.

[00:39:33] I know you don't have one.

[00:39:35] It's not a kid's movie.

[00:39:36] It's fine.

[00:39:37] He doesn't have a third one.

[00:39:38] I mean, if he had a third one, it'd be like the ones they always used to make in the 80s

[00:39:41] and 90s.

[00:39:41] He's got two.

[00:39:42] But I'm not going to ask you to do it.

[00:39:45] Please, Nate.

[00:39:45] I'm so sorry.

[00:39:46] I cut you off.

[00:39:47] No, I'm not going to do it.

[00:39:48] No, he's not going to do it because he doesn't have one.

[00:39:49] No, I'm not going to give it to him.

[00:39:50] I don't want to have a satisfaction.

[00:39:51] He knows he doesn't have one.

[00:39:53] He's reaching right now.

[00:39:54] There's certainly a heavy tone to this film.

[00:39:57] And...

[00:39:59] But also, the kid actors are just fantastic in this.

[00:40:02] Like they're...

[00:40:06] You genuinely believe they're siblings.

[00:40:08] Well, so let me tell you a story.

[00:40:09] Yeah.

[00:40:10] They are all siblings.

[00:40:11] I did not know this.

[00:40:12] They are all real brothers.

[00:40:14] Ben Stiller's kids.

[00:40:15] They are the kids of a woman that David Gordon Green knows personally that he hadn't met

[00:40:20] them since they were born.

[00:40:23] This is crazy.

[00:40:23] I did not know this because I thought...

[00:40:25] Yeah.

[00:40:25] These kids have a chemistry with each other.

[00:40:27] Yeah.

[00:40:27] So David Gordon Green, he apparently had a small role in Luca Guadagino's movie.

[00:40:33] What?

[00:40:33] The guy who directed Call Me By Your Name, Luca Guadagino.

[00:40:36] Luca Guadagino.

[00:40:37] Luca Guadagino.

[00:40:38] Luca Guadagino.

[00:40:38] He directed a movie called Bones and All with Timothee Chalamet and...

[00:40:42] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:40:42] I agree.

[00:40:43] The Armie Hammer one.

[00:40:46] Armie Hammer.

[00:40:47] Right?

[00:40:47] Because he eats in Bones and All.

[00:40:49] Wow.

[00:40:50] Anyway, he had a small role in this movie.

[00:40:52] It's funny because he was in a movie with Timothee Chalamet.

[00:40:53] And apparently it shot somewhere in Ohio and it was near where his friend lived.

[00:40:57] And so he went to go visit her, met her kids and that is their real house.

[00:41:03] That is their real farm.

[00:41:04] Their farm house.

[00:41:04] Their real farm.

[00:41:05] Those are their animals and everything.

[00:41:07] He met the...

[00:41:08] Whoa.

[00:41:09] The wind.

[00:41:11] Wow.

[00:41:12] Uh...

[00:41:13] Jesus Christ!

[00:41:20] Oh my God!

[00:41:23] Easy King Kong!

[00:41:23] I'm fine.

[00:41:24] I'm fine.

[00:41:26] Good...

[00:41:27] Whoa!

[00:41:28] The wind.

[00:41:29] You're too tall.

[00:41:31] Oh my God.

[00:41:32] This is the...

[00:41:33] We'll talk about off the fucking rails.

[00:41:35] Okay, so the wind thing that just happened...

[00:41:38] I said, oh, the wind and you were like, what the fuck?

[00:41:40] I think it was, whoa, the wind.

[00:41:41] Whoa, the wind.

[00:41:42] Because when that happened, the power went out and we were in the basement and it was pitch

[00:41:48] black down here.

[00:41:48] So it's very windy here in La Porte, Indiana where we're recording.

[00:41:52] And Ben's old house can't take it.

[00:41:54] So the power goes out and I went, whoa.

[00:41:56] And then in my head I'm like, oh, what's the culprit of this?

[00:41:59] The wind.

[00:41:59] The wind.

[00:42:00] Poor...

[00:42:00] If you listen back, very poorly acted.

[00:42:03] And then Nate just smashed this microphone with his big galump hands.

[00:42:07] He goes, okay, we're ready to start again.

[00:42:11] We're professionals.

[00:42:12] We'll blame it on the wind.

[00:42:13] So anyway, there were animals on a farm.

[00:42:14] Yeah, so no, those are their real animals.

[00:42:16] It's their real home and everything.

[00:42:18] And they just, they, they, uh, he wanted to craft a story around them.

[00:42:22] And initially, apparently it was a little more dramatic before.

[00:42:26] And then they decided to, or sorry, it was set during the summer.

[00:42:28] It wasn't a Christmas movie.

[00:42:29] And then they changed it up and they turned it into a Christmas movie.

[00:42:31] I like this as a Christmas movie.

[00:42:32] Yeah.

[00:42:33] This was, this is better than the rating.

[00:42:35] Uh, don't let that scare you away though.

[00:42:37] So definitely watch this in the right mood because this is not a, it is not an elf type

[00:42:43] of Christmas film.

[00:42:44] Is this a prancer type of Christmas movie?

[00:42:46] No, it's not, it's not, it's not that serious.

[00:42:48] There is a serious...

[00:42:49] Does he yell at the kids a lot?

[00:42:50] He, so he, he can be a little bit of a dick, but he's not like yelling at him like Sam Elliott

[00:42:55] does.

[00:42:55] He's just kind of, he just a bit, uh, detached and doesn't really care a lot.

[00:42:59] Almost, there's almost a little bit of like Royal Tenenbaums, a little bit of like,

[00:43:03] just kind of...

[00:43:04] Is it like, are you fucking kidding me?

[00:43:05] Like, is it that kind of like...

[00:43:06] He just, he just doesn't know how to connect with the kids and he's...

[00:43:09] They annoy him kind of.

[00:43:10] Yeah.

[00:43:10] And he's there to just try and get them like adopted or sent somewhere until, because like...

[00:43:15] Well yeah.

[00:43:15] Yeah.

[00:43:16] And the whole story is that they grow in him of course.

[00:43:18] Right.

[00:43:18] Exactly.

[00:43:18] And he doesn't know them all that well.

[00:43:20] Right.

[00:43:20] And they're kind of like earthy kids.

[00:43:22] Yeah.

[00:43:23] They're like...

[00:43:23] They're like...

[00:43:24] They're like...

[00:43:24] They're like, they're like, they're screwing around on the farm and everything.

[00:43:27] Like the kids from Hook?

[00:43:28] Uh, kind of honestly.

[00:43:29] Almost a little bit like the Lost Boys?

[00:43:31] Yeah.

[00:43:32] They're kind of like Lost Boys.

[00:43:33] Yeah.

[00:43:33] But I love this now.

[00:43:35] I love this idea that these are...

[00:43:36] I meant the Lost Boys where they just find a dead body on the train tracks.

[00:43:39] That's not Lost Boys.

[00:43:40] Is it not Lost Boys?

[00:43:40] Lost Boys is a vampire movie.

[00:43:41] You're thinking of Stand By Me.

[00:43:43] Oh yeah.

[00:43:43] So is it like Stand By Me?

[00:43:44] No.

[00:43:45] Oh, okay.

[00:43:45] But I do love this idea of them being real siblings in real life.

[00:43:48] And you, when you watch the film, I wish I would have known that watching the film,

[00:43:53] because there's a great chemistry there.

[00:43:55] I wish I would have kept going with that.

[00:43:56] This movie is, it is funny though.

[00:43:59] There's some really funny parts in this movie.

[00:44:01] But I think it's very heartwarming.

[00:44:03] Ben Stiller is very good in it.

[00:44:04] He has a certain brand of dry humor that I think we miss when he's not doing movies like

[00:44:10] this.

[00:44:10] Yep, I agree.

[00:44:10] I agree.

[00:44:10] It was good to have him back.

[00:44:11] Yeah.

[00:44:12] You think the critics didn't like it because it's kind of a tough nut to crack?

[00:44:17] He's just the fucking worst.

[00:44:20] A little bit of a tough nut to crack?

[00:44:23] A tough cracker?

[00:44:25] No, that's Brock Lesnar.

[00:44:27] Ha!

[00:44:28] White.

[00:44:31] White fight night.

[00:44:32] But you like this movie a lot.

[00:44:33] I did.

[00:44:34] Yeah, I did too.

[00:44:35] And if you would like to hear more about it, I interviewed David Gordon Green for about

[00:44:38] 20 minutes on an episode of Slash Film Daily that came out on Black Friday, I think it was.

[00:44:45] Nobody needs listening to that.

[00:44:46] We're not going to promote that.

[00:44:47] But yeah, you can listen to that interview and hear more about the making of the movie

[00:44:50] and how the idea developed and working with the kids and getting Ben Stiller on board and

[00:44:54] all that jazz.

[00:44:55] It was a fun interview.

[00:44:56] David Gordon Green's a good dude.

[00:44:57] Okay, good.

[00:44:58] Yeah.

[00:45:00] Ben, are you a fan of Dick Linklater?

[00:45:07] Huge, huge Dick fan.

[00:45:08] Okay.

[00:45:09] So Richard Linklater is-

[00:45:11] Who is that?

[00:45:12] You know who Richard Linklater is.

[00:45:13] I'm just joking.

[00:45:14] He's a famous writer too.

[00:45:17] He's a director, but he also writes films, right?

[00:45:19] Yes.

[00:45:20] He's a different type of storyteller where he does really enjoy the long game.

[00:45:25] I don't know what you meant by that, Ben.

[00:45:27] But Richard Linklater is like, he's kind of like a little bit of an indie filmmaker,

[00:45:33] but they're very accessible.

[00:45:35] And he likes to make movies that are set in Austin, Texas too, from Days and Confused

[00:45:39] to Everybody Wants Some to Boyhood, stuff like that.

[00:45:42] But this one is not set in Austin.

[00:45:44] That's what I mean by playing the long game.

[00:45:46] Boyhood takes place, he stopped filming for-

[00:45:49] Well, that's the only movie he did that with though.

[00:45:51] So to use that to describe his entire filmography.

[00:45:54] And then he made Everybody Wants Some a sequel to Days and Confused, what, 25 years

[00:46:00] later?

[00:46:01] 30 years later?

[00:46:01] It's not really a sequel, it's more of a spiritual sequel.

[00:46:04] Okay, but he's playing the long game is what I said.

[00:46:05] He's done it twice in two different ways.

[00:46:07] Okay, I will say this.

[00:46:07] No, more than that, Before Sunset, right?

[00:46:10] This is-

[00:46:11] Before Sunrise.

[00:46:12] Sorry, Before Sunrise.

[00:46:12] Yeah, and so he's telling stories of the same actors over a long period of time.

[00:46:15] So he's playing the long game!

[00:46:16] I was waiting to get to this before you decided to bump in here with your bullshit.

[00:46:21] That's not my bullshit.

[00:46:21] You just said, I don't know what you mean by that.

[00:46:23] Try to call me out.

[00:46:24] And I was right.

[00:46:25] He plays the long game.

[00:46:26] That's exactly what that refers to, Brad.

[00:46:29] But it's not all of his movies.

[00:46:30] Oh my God!

[00:46:31] Three different times he did it in three different ways.

[00:46:34] Twice.

[00:46:35] Okay.

[00:46:36] So this is so, for me, deliciously 1994 this film was.

[00:46:43] It has Ethan Hawke, who is really grungy, right?

[00:46:48] Just perfectly cast in this.

[00:46:51] Is it-

[00:46:51] Julie Delpy.

[00:46:52] Julie Delpy.

[00:46:53] I was going to say, Julie or Julianne Delpy.

[00:46:55] Who's just-

[00:46:56] It's Delpy.

[00:46:57] Just, I have a crush on in this film.

[00:46:59] How can you not?

[00:47:00] Honestly.

[00:47:01] That's a woman that's like, not my type and that's my type.

[00:47:04] Exactly.

[00:47:04] She's just wonderful.

[00:47:06] And it's really hard to do a film where essentially there's just two actors in it,

[00:47:10] right?

[00:47:10] Like the whole film.

[00:47:12] And they're just walking and talking.

[00:47:13] Exactly.

[00:47:14] Exactly.

[00:47:14] It's like this, saw.

[00:47:20] And so this is a film about essentially a day long-

[00:47:30] Meet cute.

[00:47:31] Meet cute kind of, right?

[00:47:33] I mean, I was going to call it that but I thought, well maybe not.

[00:47:35] No, it is.

[00:47:35] It really is.

[00:47:37] These two characters meet on a train.

[00:47:39] More like meet adorable.

[00:47:41] It's so good.

[00:47:41] And they decide they're going to, he is getting off in Vienna to get a flight back to America.

[00:47:47] He convinced her to get off as well.

[00:47:49] And they spend the day together.

[00:47:50] Essentially.

[00:47:51] That's what it is.

[00:47:52] They spend the day together.

[00:47:53] And it's the whole day.

[00:47:55] Yeah.

[00:47:55] But it's the conversations of what, you know, what I loved about it is it made me a little

[00:48:01] bit romantic about like, you know, I'm back on the dating scene.

[00:48:04] I've got a girlfriend.

[00:48:05] I've been dating for her for nine months.

[00:48:08] It reminded me of our early dates.

[00:48:10] Yeah.

[00:48:10] Right?

[00:48:10] Where you're talking about everything.

[00:48:12] You're talking about religion.

[00:48:13] You're talking about life.

[00:48:15] You're talking about, especially when you don't know each other at all.

[00:48:18] Right?

[00:48:19] And you're coming together and you're having these things.

[00:48:21] And then there's sparks.

[00:48:22] And there's a great chemistry between these two characters.

[00:48:26] And, and, and even your, this film is not about anything.

[00:48:30] Right?

[00:48:30] Even in those early stages, your disagreements are interesting.

[00:48:33] Yes.

[00:48:33] Right?

[00:48:34] You're like, oh, you want to know more.

[00:48:36] You want to know more.

[00:48:36] And you also want to impress that person.

[00:48:38] So you're like, interesting.

[00:48:39] You don't like the movie that I love.

[00:48:40] Okay.

[00:48:40] Why is that?

[00:48:41] And you're, you're willing to see the other side.

[00:48:43] It's so ridiculously romantic, but also real.

[00:48:46] If that makes sense.

[00:48:47] And so I really love this film.

[00:48:49] I was so surprised.

[00:48:50] I'm shocked that I have not seen it.

[00:48:51] I was so surprised you hadn't seen it.

[00:48:52] And I have a, I mean, we're 13.

[00:48:54] Ben and I were 13 when this film came out.

[00:48:56] Also, I've got some, I've got some really good news for you.

[00:48:59] There are two more.

[00:49:00] Are they as good?

[00:49:01] They, they are.

[00:49:02] Yeah.

[00:49:02] Okay.

[00:49:02] And in different ways before, before sunset isn't.

[00:49:05] I don't want them to add and super sad though.

[00:49:08] It doesn't.

[00:49:08] Okay.

[00:49:09] I'll tell you that.

[00:49:10] It does.

[00:49:11] No, it doesn't.

[00:49:12] No, I just don't want to be like, like towards like, you've got me.

[00:49:16] And obviously this one ends in a way that like, you know, like there's a cliffhanger.

[00:49:21] A little bit, right?

[00:49:23] Like I do love though.

[00:49:24] The same thing like, like where he puts the long game and he brings them back a decade

[00:49:28] later.

[00:49:28] And then a decade.

[00:49:29] Like it's, it's just a really nine years.

[00:49:31] Oh my God.

[00:49:33] I fucking.

[00:49:34] So it's not quite a long game.

[00:49:35] I can't stand you right now.

[00:49:36] A decade is when it gets long.

[00:49:37] I can't even admit that I had a point to what I was talking about and you can go literally

[00:49:41] go, go eat mud.

[00:49:44] So you don't know what it is.

[00:49:45] I would love to know.

[00:49:47] Speaking of mud, Matthew McConaughey is often in Richard Lincoln movies, right?

[00:49:52] He's been in at least one of them.

[00:49:56] I racked my brain.

[00:49:57] And I'm going, I'm not sure that's true.

[00:49:58] I was like, has he been in at least one?

[00:50:00] I'm like, nope, just mud.

[00:50:02] Just mud.

[00:50:04] And it was very early on in Matthew McConaughey's career.

[00:50:07] It also defines Matthew McConaughey, right?

[00:50:09] It does.

[00:50:10] It really does.

[00:50:11] So when did you see this film for the first time?

[00:50:14] I believe-

[00:50:14] He was seven.

[00:50:15] No, I don't know.

[00:50:16] You had to have seen it as an adult.

[00:50:18] Yeah, no.

[00:50:18] I think it was in college because I had heard that both before sunrise and before sunset

[00:50:23] were so good.

[00:50:24] They were both out at the time that you saw it?

[00:50:26] Yeah, yeah.

[00:50:26] They were both available on DVD by that point.

[00:50:28] Yep.

[00:50:29] And then by the time before Midnight came around, which is the third one, I got to see that

[00:50:35] at Sundance.

[00:50:36] I was at the premiere for that and that was incredible because by that point I had fallen

[00:50:40] in love with the two movies and I was so excited to see the third one.

[00:50:43] It didn't let you down?

[00:50:43] No, not at all.

[00:50:44] They're all three great in their own ways.

[00:50:47] And yeah, I hope that you watched the other two.

[00:50:49] Yeah.

[00:50:49] What I did-

[00:50:50] I love about those two.

[00:50:50] Sorry, in my opinion, it's not that they're sappy or saccharine or they don't do anything

[00:50:57] different than they do with the first one, meaning it's still very interesting to watch

[00:51:01] the complicated relationship between these two characters.

[00:51:03] He finds a different way to make it complicated but still fun.

[00:51:07] And you just feel the chemistry between Ethan Hawke and Julie Delphi.

[00:51:10] Yeah, this is what I liked about it is a film like this can take a turn where it's so heavy.

[00:51:17] Right.

[00:51:17] And it doesn't get heavy.

[00:51:19] Yeah.

[00:51:19] But it doesn't get saccharine either.

[00:51:21] So it's this, he does such a great job of balancing-

[00:51:24] It does a very good job of getting heavy for the characters.

[00:51:28] Yeah.

[00:51:28] Like in the moment you can see like, you've had those conversations where you're like,

[00:51:31] this is the most important thing.

[00:51:33] Yeah.

[00:51:33] But to the audience watching, you're like, these are two people going through it.

[00:51:35] Not that this is truly a world ending thing.

[00:51:37] Yeah, exactly.

[00:51:38] And it's so interesting the way that they can play that.

[00:51:40] Yeah.

[00:51:40] Yeah.

[00:51:41] I really like this one.

[00:51:41] Yeah, I can't wait for you to see the other two because you'll love those two.

[00:51:44] Maybe I will.

[00:51:44] You should?

[00:51:45] Maybe I will.

[00:51:46] Alright.

[00:51:47] Brady Bear?

[00:51:48] Yes.

[00:51:49] Did you see any films?

[00:51:50] I have seen some films.

[00:51:51] Oh boy.

[00:51:52] I have seen-

[00:51:53] I was at Sundance and I saw the-

[00:51:55] I saw the-

[00:51:56] What are you doing, Milton?

[00:51:57] I saw the sign.

[00:51:59] And then it opened up my eyes and I saw the sign.

[00:52:01] I'm pretty impressive with how you can throw your voice back into your throat like that

[00:52:03] and sound like an idiot.

[00:52:04] Yeah.

[00:52:05] And I can do it all the time.

[00:52:07] That's good.

[00:52:07] That's more of an old man now.

[00:52:09] Yeah, it's more-

[00:52:09] I've seen my better days.

[00:52:10] Do you remember where my stage was?

[00:52:12] I've seen better days.

[00:52:14] I've been star of many plays.

[00:52:16] I've seen better trailers.

[00:52:19] And-

[00:52:19] No, stop.

[00:52:20] I've seen better trailers.

[00:52:22] Hey, hey, it's not that part.

[00:52:23] But it's not-

[00:52:23] No, you're breaking the rules.

[00:52:24] You're breaking the rules.

[00:52:25] I've seen better trailers.

[00:52:26] This is how this podcast is done.

[00:52:27] And let's talk about them now.

[00:52:28] You're going to have to do it again later because you fucked it up.

[00:52:30] Nope.

[00:52:30] We just skip it over you.

[00:52:32] I watched-

[00:52:33] Nate, I don't remember-

[00:52:34] I think you talked about this and maybe if you didn't then I'm wrong.

[00:52:37] But I watched Will and Harper.

[00:52:39] Yes.

[00:52:40] Yeah.

[00:52:41] This is the documentary that's on Netflix that follows Will Ferrell and the blossoming of

[00:52:48] his new relationship with his longtime friend-

[00:52:51] SNL?

[00:52:51] Yes.

[00:52:52] Harper Steele.

[00:52:53] A trans woman who was a writer on SNL during the time when she was a man.

[00:52:59] And she transitioned when she was around 60 years old and kind of reintroduced herself

[00:53:04] to Will Ferrell and a bunch of people that she knew from Saturday Night Live.

[00:53:08] And so in order to kind of reconcile figuring out what their friendship is like under this

[00:53:14] situation, they take a road trip across America to like talk about it so that Will

[00:53:19] has an opportunity to ask any questions he might have.

[00:53:21] And Harper has a chance to talk to him and explain to him how she felt during the times

[00:53:26] when she wasn't sure who she was and what she wanted to do with her life.

[00:53:29] And it's just-

[00:53:31] First of all, it's funny because they are two very funny people.

[00:53:34] I was going to say, how could it not be right?

[00:53:37] Yeah.

[00:53:37] But second of all, there are some also really emotional parts to it.

[00:53:42] Especially, of course you expect it from Harper, but it was really touching to see Will Ferrell

[00:53:47] like cry and emote and like come to terms with some of these things and like realize-

[00:53:53] Not be known a bit.

[00:53:54] Yeah.

[00:53:54] And realize when he made mistakes.

[00:53:56] It's hard to see Will Ferrell not do a bit.

[00:53:59] And you do in this film.

[00:54:00] Yeah.

[00:54:00] You see-

[00:54:00] Do they talk about like, and this is, I'm not doing a bit to be very clear.

[00:54:05] Did they talk about like the Janet Reno stuff and like the dressing in drag on SNL?

[00:54:09] Funnily enough, not in the documentary, but they did address that during interviews they did while they were promoting the movie.

[00:54:14] I didn't see that.

[00:54:15] Because that jumps to my mind in the forefront of like, you know, does Harper think that Will should now look at that in a different way or-

[00:54:24] I'm not sure.

[00:54:24] Which I don't remember what Harper said about it.

[00:54:26] Or does Will.

[00:54:26] But Will definitely said, he said, I probably wouldn't do that today.

[00:54:29] And I think Harper said that she probably, you know, like wouldn't necessarily try to do it either.

[00:54:36] But they don't talk about that in the documentary.

[00:54:39] I'm just curious because that seems like, because I don't know these two other than SNL, that's my bridge, right?

[00:54:44] So I'm like, okay, this is an issue that clearly exists.

[00:54:47] And man, the, you know, willfare was in drag at a certain point.

[00:54:50] Yeah.

[00:54:50] One of the things I loved about this documentary too-

[00:54:52] Oh, you saw it too?

[00:54:53] Yeah.

[00:54:54] What the hell?

[00:54:55] He just said, we talked about this.

[00:54:57] Where was I?

[00:55:01] Okay.

[00:55:01] Okay.

[00:55:02] Hold on, Brad, shut up.

[00:55:03] First of all, okay, we've had conversations about our dads privately like off the air.

[00:55:07] And you said you would never, ever like act like my dad.

[00:55:10] And that's the most fucking, that's the most Tim Connors thing you ever-

[00:55:14] Shut the fuck up, Brad.

[00:55:16] We were over here and we promised each other off air, we'd say, I'll never make you feel like that.

[00:55:20] And then, and then just now, oh my God.

[00:55:23] Well, bye everybody.

[00:55:25] Bye.

[00:55:30] What I enjoyed about this film though too was, it really was, Will can ask Harper whatever

[00:55:36] whatever Will wanted, right?

[00:55:38] Yeah.

[00:55:39] And so, you know, sometimes, so I think this is an important documentary in that there's

[00:55:45] a lot of questions, right?

[00:55:46] No, I agree.

[00:55:47] That people have.

[00:55:48] And Harper knew that that's the role of this documentary.

[00:55:52] Yeah.

[00:55:52] This is a great gateway for anybody who feels like they don't fully understand trans people

[00:55:58] and like why they want to transition and what it's like for them and like the process

[00:56:02] of thinking and why it takes some of them so long to like make the decision and just

[00:56:06] the difficulties that come with it and what, what it's like to establish that new identity.

[00:56:10] And the fact that Will is able to ask some like basic questions and like work through

[00:56:14] it and Harper is able to express how she felt and the difficulty that she went through even

[00:56:19] though a lot of people didn't know what she was going through when, when she was confused

[00:56:22] and didn't know what she wanted out of her life.

[00:56:25] Yeah.

[00:56:26] It's, yeah, it's, it's very revealing and, and helpful in that way for anyone who feels

[00:56:30] like maybe they don't understand what that's, that's like and they have questions and they

[00:56:34] don't have anybody they can ask about it, you know?

[00:56:35] Yep.

[00:56:36] But yeah, wonderful documentary.

[00:56:38] I wholly recommend that you check it out on Netflix.

[00:56:41] It does.

[00:56:41] Oh, the accolades for good reason.

[00:56:42] It's great.

[00:56:43] Yeah.

[00:56:43] I also watched a movie called How to Have Sex, not instructional.

[00:56:48] Oh.

[00:56:48] You know what?

[00:56:49] We were, fiance Brittany was asking if you were going to watch this.

[00:56:53] I'm not saying I don't need it.

[00:56:54] I, I, as you saw, I pulled the mic, I got back into the room after Nate's comment.

[00:56:59] Mm-hmm.

[00:56:59] I grabbed the mic and then you said it's not instructional and then I went.

[00:57:02] Okay.

[00:57:02] Yeah, he was done.

[00:57:03] He didn't need to know anymore.

[00:57:04] No, this is a British sort of-

[00:57:09] Okay, hold on, I'm back.

[00:57:11] That makes perfect sense.

[00:57:12] How do you do it then, Governor?

[00:57:14] So-

[00:57:14] You put it in, innit?

[00:57:15] This is, you're gonna feel bad when I tell you what this movie is about.

[00:57:18] It's in, innit?

[00:57:18] No, it's-

[00:57:19] Oh no, wait.

[00:57:20] Sorry, can we, I'd like to preemptively apologize.

[00:57:23] I don't know what this movie is and now I feel like, Brad never, he normally just lets

[00:57:27] me hang out to dry and he's like, you're gonna feel bad.

[00:57:30] Yeah.

[00:57:30] So again, sorry.

[00:57:31] Uh, what's, what's this about, Brad, in a very serious tone?

[00:57:35] No, so this is a British coming of age story that follows, uh, these three, uh, teenage

[00:57:39] girls who go off on spring break and they're doing the normal, like, partying.

[00:57:45] They're, they're staying at a hotel that's like, has a poolside and everything.

[00:57:48] They're meeting boys and stuff like that.

[00:57:49] Um, but it's kind of like their, their like story of how they're kind of grabbing a little

[00:57:55] bit.

[00:57:55] One of them is still a virgin and like one of her friends kind of like makes fun of her

[00:57:59] for it a little bit.

[00:58:00] Um, and she's like trying to hook up with guys, but it's like a, a point of like uncomfortableness,

[00:58:07] you know, she's not really sure what to do or how she feels about it.

[00:58:10] And when the experience happens, it's kind of less than desirable.

[00:58:15] And like, like, like the dude was aggressive type thing or like she just didn't want it

[00:58:21] and it happened.

[00:58:21] Or it just wasn't good.

[00:58:23] It's, it's, it's, that's, and that's the, that's why I felt pressure to do it.

[00:58:26] Yeah.

[00:58:26] So that's what I like about this movie is it really hones in on like that, that strange

[00:58:31] intersection of like, you do want to lose your virginity, but you, and, and while you feel

[00:58:35] the desire to do it, the way it happens may not be like this, no, the way that happens

[00:58:40] may not be how you want it.

[00:58:42] And so like, while you kind of accept it, you're not really pleased with how it went and

[00:58:45] you feel like you were kind of like used because it was with a guy who was just trying to fuck

[00:58:50] somebody.

[00:58:51] And so like for me, I wanted to have sex with Carmen Electra and I lost my virginity to

[00:58:56] Margo Starkenstein and Margo was not, she, she was not gentle.

[00:59:03] Our listeners might know her as Dame Margo Starkenstein.

[00:59:07] Margo Starkenstein is, is a, is a, is now, uh, the queen of a country I will not, I will

[00:59:13] not mention on this podcast, but she moved, things got better for her.

[00:59:16] Not so much for old Benny Khan.

[00:59:18] Huh.

[00:59:19] The fun little side country we had.

[00:59:22] Dickenstein.

[00:59:22] But no, so this is, um, it's just a, a really like authentic portrayal of like that confusing

[00:59:27] time when you're like a teenager and it's all focused on, you know, the teenage girls

[00:59:31] and like the way it represents a lot of like what young women have to go through.

[00:59:36] And like, especially like in an environment that's like spring break where there's a lot

[00:59:40] of inherent, uh, you know, sex pressure and misogyny and stuff like that.

[00:59:46] You know, um, it was just, it's just a really good movie and I, and I liked it a lot.

[00:59:49] It's available on, uh, there's a streaming service called Mubi, M U B I.

[00:59:53] That's where it's easily available right now.

[00:59:55] But it's a, it's real or Margo.

[00:59:57] It's more of a, that's, that's the new streaming site.

[00:59:59] Margo.

[01:00:00] Mubi is more of like, uh, um, like to be, but with an M movie was around before to be

[01:00:06] actually.

[01:00:07] Um, but no, fuck you.

[01:00:09] You can't say shit like that.

[01:00:10] It's like movies.

[01:00:12] No, but it's true.

[01:00:13] Movies been around forever.

[01:00:14] It just sounds so silly.

[01:00:15] But to be is a thing.

[01:00:16] To be is a thing.

[01:00:16] That's great.

[01:00:17] Nate.

[01:00:18] Or not to be, but the movie is like a, it's kind of like a, like a criterion level,

[01:00:25] like streaming service where it's more artsy movies, international movies, that kind of

[01:00:29] would not be interested.

[01:00:30] Nate and I would not be interested right now.

[01:00:31] No, you guys would be like farting in bathtub instead of watching anything on movie.

[01:00:34] No, we need booby-tooby.

[01:00:35] Uh, I also watched Monkey Man.

[01:00:37] Dev Patel's movie.

[01:00:38] Oh, finally.

[01:00:38] I finally got around to it.

[01:00:39] What'd you think?

[01:00:40] Uh, I really liked it actually.

[01:00:42] Actually, it's a great movie.

[01:00:43] Well, but he's, so I was concerned because I had heard that maybe he was trying to bite

[01:00:47] off a little more than he could chew with how much he was trying to do with it.

[01:00:50] But I actually thought it all came together really, really nicely.

[01:00:54] It's, uh, stylishly shot visually.

[01:00:56] I've seen this.

[01:00:57] The action is incredible.

[01:00:58] Dev Patel is great in it.

[01:00:59] It's more than you.

[01:01:01] And you said this when you talked about, I think it's, it's the, the, what gets you

[01:01:04] in the door is like, Oh, it's John Wick with Dev Patel.

[01:01:06] It's so much more than that.

[01:01:07] It's so much more than that.

[01:01:08] Uh, and the story is deeper.

[01:01:09] The story is deeper than that.

[01:01:10] The fun part for me is it doesn't shit on John Wick at all.

[01:01:13] No.

[01:01:14] It's not like, Oh, this is, in fact, it makes a cheeky reference to John Wick.

[01:01:17] Exactly.

[01:01:17] It's a very much like, Oh, we know what we're doing.

[01:01:19] Yeah.

[01:01:20] We want to tell this story in a violent way.

[01:01:22] Yeah.

[01:01:23] And it's going to remind you of John Wick, but that's not what we're doing.

[01:01:24] And it's not to say that John Wick's a bad movie.

[01:01:26] It's honestly, to, to make a very surface level comparison.

[01:01:29] It's like if you took Slumdog Millionaire and mixed it up with John Wick.

[01:01:33] Yep.

[01:01:33] Um, because there's.

[01:01:35] Slumdog Millionaire.

[01:01:36] There are a lot of.

[01:01:37] Millonair.

[01:01:37] There are a lot of thematic elements that tie into like the, the Indian identity of a

[01:01:42] movie like Slumdog Millionaire.

[01:01:44] Uh, and mix it with John Wick.

[01:01:46] Say it again, man.

[01:01:46] Um.

[01:01:47] Slumdog Millionaire.

[01:01:49] Yeah.

[01:01:49] You gotta say it like that.

[01:01:50] You don't make this fun.

[01:01:51] It's, it's millonair.

[01:01:53] That's how you pronounce it.

[01:01:53] How you say it?

[01:01:54] Slumdog Millionaire.

[01:01:56] Can you say it like that?

[01:01:57] Can you say it like that?

[01:01:58] No.

[01:02:01] No, millonair.

[01:02:02] His brother died for nothing.

[01:02:03] Yeah.

[01:02:04] RIP Alex.

[01:02:06] Who's what?

[01:02:07] Oh, the brother.

[01:02:08] Oh, my brother.

[01:02:08] Oh no, he's still alive.

[01:02:10] Oh no.

[01:02:10] Just found out.

[01:02:11] Sorry Alex.

[01:02:12] Uh, but yeah, Monkey Man is great.

[01:02:13] If you haven't seen it, I hope, I highly recommend watching it.

[01:02:15] It's, it's, it's incredible.

[01:02:16] Uh, I also watched a movie called Sweet Hearts.

[01:02:19] Have you guys heard of this movie?

[01:02:20] I've heard of it, but is it good?

[01:02:22] Sweet Hearts.

[01:02:22] Yeah.

[01:02:23] It is a new movie that just hit HBO Max, uh, over the, the Thanksgiving break.

[01:02:28] Hit it with what?

[01:02:29] Hey!

[01:02:32] You know, Brad used to be fun.

[01:02:34] Yeah.

[01:02:34] We used to have a good time on the show.

[01:02:35] This is a rom-com.

[01:02:36] You also, you also used to do good jokes.

[01:02:38] Do you remember that?

[01:02:38] Nate's having a good time over here.

[01:02:40] No.

[01:02:40] You know what?

[01:02:40] Have an edible.

[01:02:41] Maybe you gotta take the edge off, okay?

[01:02:42] Mm-hmm.

[01:02:43] You used to be silly and fun, and now when you don't do an edible, it's like this hardcore

[01:02:46] brother, these are bad jokes.

[01:02:48] And if you were on an edible, you're like, I can't.

[01:02:50] You were watching.

[01:02:51] You know what he's eating?

[01:02:52] I gave you credit for your stupid Benverse that you created because it was hilarious.

[01:02:55] What you just did was lazy and you shouldn't be ashamed of yourself.

[01:02:58] You don't have to say every stupid joke that comes to your mind.

[01:03:01] You can discern which ones are gonna be good and put them out on this podcast recording.

[01:03:05] Here's my theory.

[01:03:06] Charlie is a friend of the pod, one of our favorite guests, Charlie, is gone for the

[01:03:12] week and you are house-sitting for Charlie.

[01:03:14] Yeah.

[01:03:14] Yeah.

[01:03:16] Just the way you answer that, I know where this is going.

[01:03:17] You're house-sitting for a dog.

[01:03:19] Yeah.

[01:03:19] And Ben is...

[01:03:21] You don't like that dog.

[01:03:21] No, I like the dog.

[01:03:22] Really?

[01:03:23] Because the other day he didn't look like he did.

[01:03:24] I don't like the dog when people are over.

[01:03:28] And Ben right now is reminding me of Alan, where he's just jumping around from joke

[01:03:32] to joke thinking, oh, here's a joke, here's a joke.

[01:03:34] He's just hopping around on five fucking different couches.

[01:03:36] Yeah, because...

[01:03:36] I gotta hop on these couches, even though it doesn't have a good reason to.

[01:03:39] He's excited.

[01:03:39] That's what you're...

[01:03:39] He's excited.

[01:03:40] Right now, you're Alan in a comedy store.

[01:03:42] Yeah, because he's...

[01:03:43] And it's fucking terrible.

[01:03:44] He's excited to be around his friends.

[01:03:46] And he's in a good mood.

[01:03:47] Having a good time.

[01:03:48] There's nothing wrong with Alan.

[01:03:49] Jumping on the back of a couch.

[01:03:51] He's just having a good time.

[01:03:53] Now we're here on the floor.

[01:03:53] Alan's a good boy.

[01:03:54] Your joke was bad and you should feel bad.

[01:03:56] Now give me a belly rub.

[01:03:57] Yeah.

[01:03:57] Sweethearts.

[01:03:58] Sweethearts.

[01:03:59] You know what, Nate?

[01:03:59] I like when you tickle me like that.

[01:04:02] Sweethearts is a romantic comedy.

[01:04:04] It's available...

[01:04:06] That's how you tickle.

[01:04:07] Don't make me nervous.

[01:04:08] Upside Down Octopus.

[01:04:09] It's available on Max.

[01:04:11] It stars Kiernan Shipka, who was in the new Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

[01:04:14] She used to be on Mad Men when she was younger.

[01:04:16] She's kind of a pretty big star right now.

[01:04:18] She was in one of my favorite Christmas movies.

[01:04:20] Christmas at 9th Street.

[01:04:23] No, it's like Snow...

[01:04:24] Oh, Snow...

[01:04:27] What is it?

[01:04:28] Snowmageddon.

[01:04:28] Snowmageddon.

[01:04:29] I know what you're talking about.

[01:04:29] Snow Angel in Hell.

[01:04:30] I love this film.

[01:04:31] Let it snow.

[01:04:32] Let it snow.

[01:04:32] Love that film.

[01:04:33] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[01:04:33] It's a genuinely great film.

[01:04:34] Let it snow.

[01:04:36] Let it snow.

[01:04:37] So she stars in this movie with a guy named Nico Haraga.

[01:04:41] Oh, yeah.

[01:04:41] And they play best friends who are at college together and they each have a boyfriend

[01:04:47] and a girlfriend back home that is kind of like...

[01:04:50] It's a bit of a nightmare long distance relationship and they're not really happy about it.

[01:04:54] And they're so close as best friends, of course, that they decide that when they go home for Thanksgiving

[01:04:59] break, they're going to break up with them.

[01:05:02] And so the idea is that they're so fun and cute together and they get along so well that

[01:05:07] you see where the romantic comedy aspect comes into play.

[01:05:12] But I will say there is something very interesting about this movie that does not go the way that

[01:05:17] you think it does.

[01:05:18] They don't get together.

[01:05:19] And I really appreciate what they went for in the movie.

[01:05:22] And so...

[01:05:23] What was the movie you had me watch with Daniel Radcliffe where he was just the best friend?

[01:05:26] That was What If.

[01:05:27] So...

[01:05:28] Swiss Army.

[01:05:28] Is it...

[01:05:30] Is there a little bit of that at all?

[01:05:33] Kind of, but it's...

[01:05:35] They're already best friends.

[01:05:36] They've been best friends forever.

[01:05:37] Gotcha.

[01:05:38] Because in What If it was like they become friends when she has a boyfriend but the whole

[01:05:42] thing was...

[01:05:43] He was interested in her.

[01:05:44] He was from the get and he kind of lies to her and not really because he can't...

[01:05:47] Yeah.

[01:05:47] She also is interested.

[01:05:48] In this one, they have been best friends for a long time.

[01:05:50] And there's never been anything.

[01:05:51] There's never been anything between them.

[01:05:53] Until.

[01:05:54] But it's...

[01:05:55] This movie is pretty funny.

[01:05:56] It has some fun bit part appearances including a small role for Chloe Trost, formerly of SNL.

[01:06:04] And...

[01:06:04] Man, we miss her.

[01:06:05] It's good.

[01:06:06] I wasn't expecting it to be as funny as it was but it is a solid script.

[01:06:10] There's also a funny guy in it named Caleb Heron who...

[01:06:14] My fiancee, Brittany.

[01:06:16] She was familiar with because apparently he has a podcast that is very popular and funny.

[01:06:21] And so he's this chubby gay dude who is very much like an additional comedic relief.

[01:06:26] And he's very funny.

[01:06:28] However, his character's role and what happens with him feels almost like it's his own separate

[01:06:34] movie.

[01:06:35] And I would have liked to have seen that as its own movie on top of his role in this.

[01:06:42] Caleb Heron, I know who this is.

[01:06:45] Oh, you do?

[01:06:45] Yeah.

[01:06:46] I just looked him up just to make sure.

[01:06:48] He did stand-up in Chicago and performed at the IO until relocating to Los Angeles in

[01:06:53] 2020.

[01:06:55] But...

[01:06:55] I don't know why this thing sounds so familiar.

[01:06:57] His career though...

[01:06:58] Yeah, here we go.

[01:06:59] He gained wider prominence in 2019 for his comedic Twitter videos.

[01:07:02] That's where I saw him.

[01:07:02] Oh, okay.

[01:07:03] If you look at his Twitter...

[01:07:04] I was totally unfamiliar with it.

[01:07:05] Holy shit.

[01:07:05] It's hilarious.

[01:07:07] That's why I talked to him.

[01:07:07] He's very funny in this movie.

[01:07:09] So yeah.

[01:07:09] But no...

[01:07:10] It's basically frequently up close and forward facing blah, blah, blah.

[01:07:12] But yeah, he's talking directly to the camera.

[01:07:14] He's fucking hilarious.

[01:07:15] Sweet.

[01:07:15] Yeah.

[01:07:15] He's funny in this movie.

[01:07:16] This movie is pretty good.

[01:07:17] I would give it a shot if you like romantic comedies.

[01:07:20] It's the kind of romantic comedy you don't get too often in theaters anymore.

[01:07:23] So it was nice to see it.

[01:07:24] I enjoyed it.

[01:07:25] Okay.

[01:07:26] What about your same movie?

[01:07:27] The last movie I watched was The Substance.

[01:07:32] Wait.

[01:07:32] I watched Alien Romulus.

[01:07:34] Did we talk about this already?

[01:07:36] You didn't.

[01:07:37] Yeah, I watched it.

[01:07:38] Okay.

[01:07:39] Yeah.

[01:07:39] So I wanted to let you know that I watched it.

[01:07:41] Cool.

[01:07:41] Just remember that.

[01:07:42] Go ahead.

[01:07:42] Yeah, just real quick.

[01:07:43] Just talk about it.

[01:07:44] Because I forgot.

[01:07:45] It's your podcast too.

[01:07:46] It's really good.

[01:07:48] Yeah.

[01:07:49] That's it.

[01:07:49] Just watch it.

[01:07:51] It's really good.

[01:07:51] No, I liked it a lot.

[01:07:52] It's my third favorite Alien movie.

[01:07:54] Ben.

[01:07:54] I would probably agree with that.

[01:07:56] Ben.

[01:07:57] Is it scary?

[01:07:58] It is.

[01:07:59] Oh, it is so scary, Nate.

[01:08:00] It's not so scary.

[01:08:01] For Nate, it's so scary.

[01:08:03] Yeah, it's so scary for you.

[01:08:04] It's more of a thriller for me.

[01:08:05] Okay.

[01:08:07] More of a comedy.

[01:08:08] It's, yeah.

[01:08:09] Alien and Aliens, we've had this conversation, are so hard to say, what do you like more?

[01:08:13] Because they're two completely different movies of the same caliber, I would say.

[01:08:16] They're both like nine out of tens on the horror and then action genre.

[01:08:20] Yeah.

[01:08:21] This is a different movie.

[01:08:22] It is, it's definitely back in the horror aspect of things.

[01:08:26] It focuses on a young group of, it almost reminded me a little bit of like an Elysium

[01:08:32] Ready Player One thing.

[01:08:33] It's a heist.

[01:08:34] Where, well it's a heist, but it's like the reason, they do a good job of setting up why

[01:08:37] they're even trying, right?

[01:08:39] Yeah.

[01:08:39] It's like you don't have enough credits to escape the system.

[01:08:42] Yeah, they're blue-collar people who will never be able to leave the planet and they

[01:08:45] figure out a way they might be able to.

[01:08:47] Fuck it.

[01:08:47] There's an abandoned ship, let's go.

[01:08:48] And guess what's on the abandoned ship?

[01:08:49] Spoiler alert.

[01:08:50] Guns.

[01:08:50] Fucking aliens.

[01:08:51] Oh, lots of aliens.

[01:08:53] Yeah.

[01:08:53] But there's good references to the original.

[01:08:55] There's, it's, man, it's really well done, man.

[01:08:58] Like I was, for, there are so many legacy sequels and sequels these days that the Halloween franchise

[01:09:03] is what I point to as like the first one of the remakes I really liked and then it kind

[01:09:07] of fell off.

[01:09:08] Mm-hmm.

[01:09:08] This is not that.

[01:09:10] This is a very true to form, like somebody had a lot of thought behind this.

[01:09:14] It's, it's well budgeted, it's well shot, it's well directed, it's well acted and it's

[01:09:18] very scary and very good.

[01:09:20] Yeah.

[01:09:20] Good set pieces, great, great new characters.

[01:09:22] Really, really happy with this.

[01:09:23] Yeah.

[01:09:23] I liked it a lot as well.

[01:09:24] I like this because honestly, Alien has needed the same kind of revitalization that Predator

[01:09:32] has needed.

[01:09:33] Mm-hmm.

[01:09:33] And with Prey we got that from Dan Trachtenberg.

[01:09:35] Yeah.

[01:09:35] We've been waiting, you know, there's been a lot of alien movies in the past.

[01:09:38] And then the Alien vs. Predator, whatever.

[01:09:39] I've been waiting and Prometheus is like, okay, it's a lot.

[01:09:43] This is a return to form.

[01:09:44] I wouldn't be surprised if at some point because of the revitalization of both franchises

[01:09:48] if we get a new version of Alien vs. Predator.

[01:09:50] I'm not against that whatsoever, but the bar for me would be so fucking low.

[01:09:54] Like it just, just don't.

[01:09:56] The bar doesn't even exist.

[01:09:56] Yeah, just don't fuck it up and you know, I'd be fine with it.

[01:09:59] Yeah.

[01:10:00] Because naturally those two things do go together like the Ultimate Prey, the Ultimate Predator,

[01:10:04] like come on.

[01:10:04] Yeah.

[01:10:05] I think that Dan Trachtenberg could pull it off.

[01:10:07] Oh man, I'd love to talk to him sometime.

[01:10:09] I did.

[01:10:10] I know.

[01:10:10] And that's again, it's another reason I hate you.

[01:10:12] He's a good dude.

[01:10:14] What movie did you watch?

[01:10:15] I watched The Substance.

[01:10:17] Oh, hold on.

[01:10:17] Another movie I watched.

[01:10:18] Motherfucker.

[01:10:18] Kidding, kidding, kidding, kidding, kidding, kidding.

[01:10:20] So with that Demi, Demi Moore?

[01:10:21] Demi.

[01:10:23] Demi.

[01:10:23] Demi Moore.

[01:10:24] No, Demi Moore.

[01:10:25] Margaret Qualley.

[01:10:26] Is it Qualley or is it Qualley?

[01:10:27] I think it's Qualley.

[01:10:28] Okay.

[01:10:29] This is a, this was a big movie earlier this year.

[01:10:32] A lot of people were talking about it.

[01:10:33] I missed it in theaters.

[01:10:35] But this was another movie that's available on Mubi.

[01:10:37] Well received though.

[01:10:39] Yes, very well received.

[01:10:40] Now, Striptease, Demi Moore available on Boobie.

[01:10:43] Funnily enough, I'm gonna, I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna say that there's probably more

[01:10:47] nudity in this movie than there is in Striptease.

[01:10:50] Okay.

[01:10:50] Can you at least admit that that was a good joke?

[01:10:52] It was, it was solid.

[01:10:54] Of Demi?

[01:10:55] Yes.

[01:10:57] Demi?

[01:10:57] Yeah.

[01:10:58] She shows more?

[01:10:59] Yeah.

[01:11:00] Or Dennis Quaid.

[01:11:01] Ooh.

[01:11:02] No nudity for Dennis Quaid, but Dennis Quaid.

[01:11:04] Is he hanging dog?

[01:11:06] I wish I could have gotten through that.

[01:11:09] Hey, is Dennis Quaid hanging dog?

[01:11:12] Um, this movie is gnarly as fuck.

[01:11:16] The, the premise of this movie is Demi Moore is this aging star and it kind of exists in

[01:11:22] this like surreal version of Hollywood where like the big thing that she's doing as this

[01:11:26] age star is she leads this like dance aerobics show that is very popular.

[01:11:32] Um, but she's kind of on her way out and they want to replace her with somebody new and fresh

[01:11:38] and young.

[01:11:39] And she's just feeling the, the burn of being an aging woman in Hollywood in a career like

[01:11:45] that.

[01:11:45] And so she gets this, uh, mysterious recommendation from her doctor's assistant, uh, with a secret

[01:11:52] phone number to call and everything.

[01:11:54] And she is given this like pitch for what is only called the substance.

[01:11:59] And there's a very secretive way to go about getting it.

[01:12:02] And the pitch is that it will make you feel like a completely new person, you know, younger,

[01:12:08] prettier, all that stuff.

[01:12:09] Is this like the pitches it's limitless, but for your looks?

[01:12:12] No.

[01:12:13] Uh, in a way, yes, but in it, but in a completely different way, because what happens when you

[01:12:18] take the substance is an entirely new person is born out of you.

[01:12:22] What?

[01:12:23] Yeah.

[01:12:24] Where you have to, where you, you spend seven days as the new younger person, but then you

[01:12:30] have to switch and you have to spend seven days as your older self.

[01:12:34] What happens to your older self while your younger self is happening?

[01:12:37] You, your stasis.

[01:12:38] Yeah.

[01:12:38] They, they give you, they give you like this, like liquid food to like feed yourself while

[01:12:42] you're, uh, away for the seven days and everything.

[01:12:46] Uh, and if you, so you're like on a cat feeder.

[01:12:48] Kind of in a way, but you're still aware.

[01:12:52] Yes, but you can't move or anything.

[01:12:54] You are, you're not in control of your body when you're not the one who is in, who is

[01:12:58] like, so do you share it?

[01:13:00] Where's your awareness?

[01:13:01] Yeah.

[01:13:01] So that's the big thing is you, you are, even though it's two, two bodies, you are still

[01:13:07] one.

[01:13:07] And so you still share the same, same consciousness.

[01:13:11] But you, when you're, when you're not active, you are not the person making decisions or doing

[01:13:15] things.

[01:13:16] But you can see what's happening and all your memories are there.

[01:13:18] Well, so not, not while the other person, like you don't see what the other person is

[01:13:22] doing while they're like, you're not wearing a VR headset.

[01:13:25] Right.

[01:13:25] You don't, you don't, you don't, you don't like you, when you awake after you're seven days

[01:13:28] away, you see what they've been up to and you're like, what the fuck basically.

[01:13:32] This is not an avatar situation.

[01:13:34] No, not at all.

[01:13:35] And so this is a body horror movie.

[01:13:37] And so it gets pretty grotesque and like, like Cronenberg style shit and like really

[01:13:42] like, like the thing kind of stuff too.

[01:13:45] Whoa.

[01:13:45] Really monstrous, really gnarly, really goopy, really, really bloody.

[01:13:50] Um, and it's, but it's, but it's, when you have to describe a horror movie, it's goopy.

[01:13:54] Yeah.

[01:13:54] Uh, but no, it's, it's really good.

[01:13:56] Like goopy like mud.

[01:13:57] Uh, Demi is great in it.

[01:13:59] Margaret Qualey is great in it.

[01:14:01] They're, they're both fantastic.

[01:14:02] And it's, um, it's just really good.

[01:14:04] It's, it's a lot, it's a lot of grotesque fun.

[01:14:08] Dennis Quaid is a super douchebag asshole in it.

[01:14:11] Oh, so like real life.

[01:14:12] Yeah.

[01:14:12] Um, I was a little surprised to see him in this because he's like only doing Christian films

[01:14:16] now.

[01:14:16] So yeah, it's, it's a very weird role for him to take.

[01:14:19] I really do wonder if like you, do you do this on paper and it's like Demi Moore is not

[01:14:24] an A-list actress anymore.

[01:14:25] Right.

[01:14:26] Um, but she's obviously very well known and so is Dennis Quaid.

[01:14:28] He's not an A-list anymore, but he's very well known.

[01:14:30] You take two classically trained and very good actors and actresses, uh, and put them in

[01:14:34] a movie that, you know, Oh, it's a little past their prime.

[01:14:37] But again, you need people that are pressed to prime to play these roles too.

[01:14:40] For sure.

[01:14:40] And I would, I would love to see Demi Moore get an Oscar nomination for this role.

[01:14:46] I think the movie might be a little too weird for it to happen, but they are making a push

[01:14:51] for it and she has a lot of acclaim and like, and that doesn't, they love to reward a long

[01:14:56] career and like the fact that you've been a good soldier for the industry and you've had

[01:15:00] scandals and she's pretty much played the game her whole life.

[01:15:03] Yeah.

[01:15:03] So yeah.

[01:15:04] So I, I would love to see it happen.

[01:15:05] She would be deserving of it for sure, but, uh, more or less.

[01:15:09] Can we give a shout out though to Margaret Qualey who is in so many like almost indie films,

[01:15:15] building a great career is, is I think a great actor.

[01:15:19] Plays Professor McGonigal in Harry Potter.

[01:15:22] Um, but is it well known Maggie Smith, but Margaret Qualey isn't well known as a commercial

[01:15:27] name yet.

[01:15:28] I don't think, I don't think it's a commercial name.

[01:15:30] I don't know who that is, but I do think she has a big following.

[01:15:32] She was, uh, she's in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

[01:15:36] As, that's Margot Robbie.

[01:15:38] She's the main, uh, the other main girl who lives on the Charlie Manson.

[01:15:41] Oh, okay.

[01:15:42] Yeah.

[01:15:42] The one who Brad Pitt picks up.

[01:15:44] The series called Made, it was fantastic.

[01:15:46] I've heard that's good.

[01:15:47] It was very good.

[01:15:48] But I mean.

[01:15:48] You'd recognize her if you saw her though.

[01:15:49] Sure, sure.

[01:15:50] The last couple of films, Poor Things, Drive Away Dolls, Kinds, did you see Kinds of Kindness?

[01:15:54] Not yet.

[01:15:55] Did you see Poor Things?

[01:15:56] Yeah, I saw Poor Things.

[01:15:57] She has a very small role in that.

[01:15:58] That's good right?

[01:15:59] Yeah, but it's weird.

[01:16:00] Yeah, it's weird.

[01:16:00] Yeah.

[01:16:01] And then she's gonna be in Happy Gilmore too.

[01:16:04] That's good.

[01:16:04] I'll see that one.

[01:16:05] Of course you will.

[01:16:06] That's what I'll see.

[01:16:07] Dipshit.

[01:16:08] And I'll see you in the parking lot, says Margot Qualey.

[01:16:14] That's pretty good.

[01:16:16] See, that's funny.

[01:16:18] Do stuff like that.

[01:16:19] But you gotta realize, like, that's not, I didn't have the time to realize if that was

[01:16:23] gonna be good or not.

[01:16:23] Oh, trust me.

[01:16:24] I know, but like, you know, you can know.

[01:16:26] I don't know.

[01:16:27] You know.

[01:16:27] That's my problem.

[01:16:28] You didn't know.

[01:16:28] You're quick enough that you know.

[01:16:29] That's the same as like, more or less to me.

[01:16:32] Those are equally funny.

[01:16:33] You got balls and strikes, right?

[01:16:34] If you just never know.

[01:16:35] You play the averages, Brad.

[01:16:37] Ben, you had a trailer.

[01:16:37] Right now I'm betting about 40%.

[01:16:39] Ben, you had a trailer.

[01:16:39] You know, though.

[01:16:41] I forgot the fucking song.

[01:16:43] No.

[01:16:44] Um, hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to the movies we go.

[01:16:48] With Ben and Brad and Nate and friends, let's watch some trailers and talk.

[01:16:51] Oh, yeah.

[01:16:52] That's fine.

[01:16:53] We had two trailer songs.

[01:16:54] Yep.

[01:16:54] I don't remember what the other song was either.

[01:16:58] Oh, it's I've seen better days.

[01:17:00] Oh, yeah, yeah.

[01:17:01] Yeah.

[01:17:01] Seen trailers in many ways.

[01:17:03] All right.

[01:17:03] So we watched Snow White.

[01:17:06] The trailer for Snow White.

[01:17:07] The new trailer for Snow White.

[01:17:08] Is it just called Snow White?

[01:17:08] Is it called Snow White and the Seven Dwarves?

[01:17:10] I feel like it just said Snow White.

[01:17:12] That's how they're selling it.

[01:17:15] Okay.

[01:17:16] Yes, it is just Snow White.

[01:17:17] There you go.

[01:17:17] I'm just over these live action whatever's.

[01:17:19] I just don't care.

[01:17:20] And the thing is too is like, it's the dwarves they've made with CG.

[01:17:25] I don't get it.

[01:17:26] I don't get it.

[01:17:27] I don't know why you wouldn't use little people actors.

[01:17:29] Why are you taking jobs away from them?

[01:17:31] And also-

[01:17:31] I think there were some little people actors that were upset about it.

[01:17:33] I'm sure they were.

[01:17:34] And also the thing is-

[01:17:34] Yeah, of course they were.

[01:17:35] Like fucking, you know, ah, okay.

[01:17:38] It's a Disney paycheck.

[01:17:38] Come on.

[01:17:39] But on top of that, they also look like fucking horrible Robert Zemeckis creations.

[01:17:43] Like what are we doing here?

[01:17:44] Now is it because again, we talk about this all the time, are they just unfinished because

[01:17:47] it's early?

[01:17:48] I don't think so.

[01:17:49] Oh, fuck.

[01:17:50] Then it's even worse.

[01:17:51] I mean, sure.

[01:17:52] It's worse than we thought.

[01:17:53] They might look slightly better, but it's the facial design that looks stupid.

[01:17:57] It's a little bit like we talked about last time, How to Kill Your Dragon, where-

[01:18:01] How to Kill Your Dragon?

[01:18:01] Oh, wow.

[01:18:02] Oh, damn.

[01:18:03] That is a dark sequel that only Nate knows about.

[01:18:05] I'd want to see that too.

[01:18:06] You know what?

[01:18:06] That should be the fourth movie-

[01:18:07] How to Kill Your Dragon-

[01:18:09] Where the dragon looks cartoonish still.

[01:18:12] Yeah, of course.

[01:18:14] But the live action in the cartoon mix, it's not Who Framed fucking Roger Rabbit.

[01:18:18] Make a live film if you're going to make a live film.

[01:18:20] Yeah.

[01:18:20] Right?

[01:18:21] It's very weird.

[01:18:23] I feel bad because Rachel Ziegler is already getting a bunch of flack for this movie because

[01:18:28] she's not your stereotypical white actress playing Snow White.

[01:18:34] Oh, I don't care about that.

[01:18:35] Stupid people are still hung up on the idea that like, oh, why aren't they white?

[01:18:41] Why can't-

[01:18:41] Because there's colorblind casting here.

[01:18:43] Yeah.

[01:18:44] So like, fucking grow up.

[01:18:46] But-

[01:18:47] Not my mermaid.

[01:18:48] So I feel bad about that.

[01:18:49] But aside from that, I'm just not interested in these live action remakes.

[01:18:52] I don't care.

[01:18:53] I could care less.

[01:18:55] Yeah, I'd still take a look at those mudflaps.

[01:18:57] I couldn't care less rather.

[01:18:58] Snow White's mudflaps probably.

[01:18:59] Oh, boy.

[01:19:00] I'm just saying, you know, that's not my mermaid, you know, not my white.

[01:19:03] That's not my white.

[01:19:04] I was also interested that they chose to make the original song, the musical driving force

[01:19:10] of it when you already have like a built-in like iconic song as part of the original movie

[01:19:14] when- and they only alluded to it at the very end with the-

[01:19:16] Hi-ho.

[01:19:19] That's my pitch.

[01:19:19] Nate, are you going to see this with your kids?

[01:19:21] Probably not.

[01:19:22] Um-

[01:19:24] So let's go through here real quick.

[01:19:26] Um, the remakes of animated works that Disney has done.

[01:19:31] Uh-huh.

[01:19:31] And let's talk about just real quick what we think was good here.

[01:19:35] Okay.

[01:19:35] There's only one.

[01:19:36] Okay.

[01:19:38] Oh, you got 1994's Jungle Book.

[01:19:41] Was that any good?

[01:19:43] What?

[01:19:44] That's-

[01:19:44] Well, I'm not sure.

[01:19:45] I don't count that.

[01:19:45] What?

[01:19:46] No, why?

[01:19:46] Why?

[01:19:47] Because this-

[01:19:48] We're just talking about live action remakes.

[01:19:50] That Disney did.

[01:19:51] But that's not part of the like this new-

[01:19:53] It doesn't matter.

[01:19:54] Reimagining.

[01:19:55] So then-

[01:19:55] You still need to.

[01:19:56] Just like 1996's 101 Dalmatians.

[01:20:00] I liked it as a kid, but I don't know if it's any good anymore.

[01:20:03] The Jungle Book.

[01:20:04] Did you like 101 Dalmatians?

[01:20:06] I enjoyed it as a kid.

[01:20:07] Okay.

[01:20:07] I think Glenn Close is very good as Cruella de Vil, but I don't think the movie was very

[01:20:11] Okay, so let's get into the more recent one.

[01:20:12] Maleficent.

[01:20:13] Don't care.

[01:20:16] Cinderella 2015.

[01:20:17] Cinderella was actually decent and I think it's probably the-

[01:20:20] One of the best ones.

[01:20:21] I think so too.

[01:20:22] Um, The Jungle Book in 2016.

[01:20:25] That one is also decent.

[01:20:27] Is that the Jon Favreau one?

[01:20:28] Yeah, decent but not great.

[01:20:29] It's because Alex Kano has worked on that film.

[01:20:31] There you go.

[01:20:32] My brother worked on that film.

[01:20:32] RIP.

[01:20:33] I think it's a decent film.

[01:20:35] He's not dead for real.

[01:20:36] I just don't think it needed to be made.

[01:20:38] Um, but if anybody's gonna make a good film, I think Alex Kano can do it.

[01:20:41] Um, sorry.

[01:20:41] Sorry, Alex Kano.

[01:20:42] Beauty and the Beast.

[01:20:43] No.

[01:20:44] Really?

[01:20:44] I didn't dislike that Beauty and the Beast.

[01:20:46] No, not for me bro.

[01:20:46] But a lot of people didn't.

[01:20:47] Not for me bro.

[01:20:48] Dumbo.

[01:20:48] No.

[01:20:49] Um, Aladdin.

[01:20:51] No.

[01:20:52] I didn't hate Aladdin.

[01:20:53] Um.

[01:20:53] It's the only one I saw.

[01:20:54] I didn't hate it.

[01:20:56] Uh, The Lion King.

[01:20:57] No, not at all.

[01:20:58] Not even close.

[01:20:58] Lady and the Tramp.

[01:20:59] I didn't see it.

[01:21:00] I did.

[01:21:01] Uh, Mulan.

[01:21:03] Eh.

[01:21:06] I think if it would have been a musical, it would have been better.

[01:21:09] Yeah, for sure.

[01:21:10] Yeah, for sure.

[01:21:10] Pinocchio.

[01:21:11] Didn't watch it.

[01:21:12] Didn't care.

[01:21:12] Robert Zemeckis.

[01:21:13] Peter Pan and Wendy.

[01:21:14] I didn't watch that one either.

[01:21:15] I like Peter Pan and Wendy.

[01:21:17] Okay.

[01:21:17] The Little Mermaid.

[01:21:19] It was, it was alright.

[01:21:21] And now we're at Snow White.

[01:21:22] So we're saying here, there's not really been a great film in it.

[01:21:26] As far as-

[01:21:26] They're batting worse than my joke ratio on this podcast.

[01:21:28] Not a remake of a full fledged animated movie, but if we're talking Disney remakes in general,

[01:21:33] uh, Pete's Dragon is awesome.

[01:21:35] Yeah.

[01:21:35] But that was a separate, that was a-

[01:21:38] Animation live action hybrid.

[01:21:40] Yep.

[01:21:40] Yep.

[01:21:41] Yeah, that's how you do it with a dragon.

[01:21:44] And it wasn't retelling the story.

[01:21:47] Once I'm saying, if you're gonna do it-

[01:21:48] Yeah, it was different.

[01:21:48] Toothless.

[01:21:49] And it was an original story.

[01:21:50] Yeah.

[01:21:51] It was good.

[01:21:51] I liked Pete in that track.

[01:21:53] Pete's Dragon.

[01:21:53] Pete's Dragon.

[01:21:54] Yeah.

[01:21:54] I like that one too.

[01:21:55] Alright.

[01:21:55] We also watched another kid friendly trailer for Elio, Pixar's new movie that's coming

[01:22:00] out next year.

[01:22:01] Does he have an eye or does he not have an eye?

[01:22:04] So I think that he, he, he puts something on to like make it look like he's kind of like

[01:22:08] a space pirate kind of person.

[01:22:10] Oh, okay.

[01:22:10] Cause it's really in there.

[01:22:11] He's just a reptile and a little, little, little nerdy.

[01:22:13] Yeah, he's just a little, little dorky kid.

[01:22:16] Um, and-

[01:22:16] One line of the trailer really made me laugh.

[01:22:18] It was really funny.

[01:22:19] I'm trying to get abducted.

[01:22:20] By aliens.

[01:22:21] By aliens.

[01:22:22] Um, but this, uh, you know, because of the implication that he'd be abducted and raped

[01:22:26] by somebody in a van.

[01:22:28] Oh my God.

[01:22:29] Uh, so it follows this kid who's, uh, precocious and he ends up getting abducted by aliens and

[01:22:34] they consider him an ambassador for earth basically.

[01:22:39] Like ruler.

[01:22:39] Yeah.

[01:22:40] Yeah.

[01:22:40] They think that he's like a ruler on earth and he comes to represent the planet in this

[01:22:44] like galactic council.

[01:22:46] Um, and yeah, so that, that's just the basic.

[01:22:48] It's a teaser.

[01:22:49] We don't really know what happens.

[01:22:50] Yeah, exactly.

[01:22:51] And I'm, I'm curious about it.

[01:22:52] I think it looks fun.

[01:22:52] It's a fun premise.

[01:22:53] I was like these days it's, again, Saturday Night Live kind of nailed this when they were

[01:22:57] like, uh, it's Pixar's luggage, the life of luggage when it's so like we're getting

[01:23:02] a little tired of like, okay, these are everyday elements that come to life or like whatever.

[01:23:06] So, uh, movies like Coco and movies like this are, are different where it's like, okay, let's

[01:23:10] explore something different than just what if inanimate objects come to life.

[01:23:14] So I love, I love that because I don't know what this is about, but I am interested.

[01:23:17] It's the first Pixar movie in a while that I've been like a little excited for.

[01:23:21] And again, it's probably cause it's just a teaser and I don't know much about it.

[01:23:24] What do you think, Nate?

[01:23:25] I agree.

[01:23:25] I think there's, there's enough to this.

[01:23:27] It is just a teaser though.

[01:23:28] Yeah.

[01:23:29] Um, we could see, you know, I want to see more from the characters, the side characters,

[01:23:34] these kinds of things, a little more of the humor, but Pixar still has enough karma

[01:23:39] built up that I don't look at this and say like, oh, this is a, this is a point where

[01:23:44] it's like a DreamWorks film of all of these characters that play the other world or make

[01:23:49] fart jokes and just fall down.

[01:23:50] I think there will be poignant moments.

[01:23:52] I think it'll be, you'll discover something about the boy and if he's on the spectrum or

[01:23:56] if his parents are fighting or there's always something with Pixar.

[01:23:59] Maybe he had a little brother that died.

[01:24:02] And in the last two minutes, like I wish he'd come back from the dead.

[01:24:06] And then you find out that he was just abducted.

[01:24:08] Or he was Satan.

[01:24:09] Yeah.

[01:24:11] The secret is I was Satan the whole time.

[01:24:13] The writer and director of this is the same one that did Coco, which I really like Coco.

[01:24:17] Yeah.

[01:24:17] Coco is fantastic.

[01:24:18] Um, so if it has a similar tone and just, just, uh, he seems to know how to tell a story,

[01:24:24] Adrian Molina, um, it should be good.

[01:24:28] I think it should be very good.

[01:24:29] Yeah.

[01:24:30] All right.

[01:24:30] That does it for us on this episode of go flicks yourself.

[01:24:34] Brad, uh, where can the people find you online?

[01:24:36] And I don't care.

[01:24:36] Nate, what are you doing?

[01:24:37] Whoa.

[01:24:37] Hey, that's really rude.

[01:24:59] We're raising funny.

[01:25:00] That's actually, oh shit.

[01:25:02] Nate.

[01:25:21] Don't take them like that.

[01:25:21] No, no, no.

[01:25:22] I'm much more proud of you than I am of Ben.

[01:25:25] No, I am too.

[01:25:26] Yeah.

[01:25:26] I'm so much more proud of both of you than I have me.

[01:26:27] That's good.

[01:26:28] No?

[01:26:29] You don't want to talk about it?

[01:26:30] I don't know.

[01:26:31] You don't care?

[01:26:32] Are we not on blue sky?

[01:26:33] You don't want more blue sky followers?

[01:26:35] I don't know what he's doing.

[01:26:38] Where did we get on blue sky?

[01:26:38] Are you having a stroke?

[01:26:39] Where did we get on blue sky?

[01:26:40] I don't think that he did that.

[01:26:41] You're on blue sky.

[01:26:42] No, I am.

[01:26:43] No, he is, but not the podcast.

[01:26:44] I've been on blue sky.

[01:26:45] No, not the podcast.

[01:26:46] You made it sound like we're on blue sky.

[01:26:47] No, I said, Nate, we're on blue sky, right?

[01:26:50] No, yeah.

[01:26:51] I'm sorry, the listener can't see you fucking fingering each other.

[01:26:55] I said, Nate, we're on blue sky.

[01:26:59] Which could mean the podcast.

[01:27:00] Meaning?

[01:27:00] I would have said the podcast is a blue sky account.

[01:27:03] No, you just looked at him like, remember when you said you'd sign Go Flix Yourself up

[01:27:06] for a blue sky account?

[01:27:07] That's exactly how everybody heard it.

[01:27:08] That's what I thought.

[01:27:09] We're on blue sky, right?

[01:27:10] As we're talking about the podcast.

[01:27:11] Okay, well maybe it's a hint that needs to sign us up for fucking blue sky.

[01:27:14] Nobody's on blue sky.

[01:27:15] Blue sky is huge now.

[01:27:17] What are you talking about?

[01:27:17] Has millions of users now.

[01:27:19] Are you on blue sky?

[01:27:20] I'm not, I don't even know what it is, but I'd love to be there.

[01:27:22] See?

[01:27:22] But he's not invited.

[01:27:23] It's not for him.

[01:27:24] I'm still on xxx.com.

[01:27:27] Ugh.

[01:27:30] Wilfred.

[01:27:31] Hey guys, Prancerpalooza, December 15th is coming up.

[01:27:34] We're going to be talking about that.

[01:27:35] Maybe do a special episode, especially if we can record the Q&A portion of that.

[01:27:40] It's going to be fantastic.

[01:27:41] But please, like, rate, subscribe, give us comments.

[01:27:44] Please make fun of Brad.

[01:27:45] I just love...

[01:27:46] Yeah, please.

[01:27:46] Give us your best Brad joke.

[01:27:48] It's the funniest thing in the morning.

[01:27:50] If I wake up and I literally see somebody commented and it's negative towards Brad, I'm like,

[01:27:53] my day's made.

[01:27:54] It's made the whole day.

[01:27:56] Your day must not be made very often then.

[01:27:57] It's not.

[01:27:57] Because it's usually in support of me and laughing at your mistake.

[01:28:00] Exactly.

[01:28:00] So that's what I'm trying to say.

[01:28:01] Please, you know, guys, I try.

[01:28:03] I try my best.

[01:28:04] Alright.

[01:28:05] Also, tell us which joke Ben made that you liked the least.

[01:28:08] You know, that's really...

[01:28:09] You got a big pick.

[01:28:10] A big pick.

[01:28:11] You got a big pick.

[01:28:12] Meep meep meep meep meep meep.

[01:28:14] What's wrong, Roadrunner?

[01:28:16] Meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep.

[01:28:17] Yeah, Roadrunner actually got hit by a car.

[01:28:20] He's Swedish Roadrunner.

[01:28:22] I'll leave you with my Swedish Roadrunner impersonation.

[01:28:25] Meep meep meep meep meep meep.

[01:28:26] Bye everybody, bye.

[01:28:35] Nah, cheat thing, eh?
