How'd it go? Really well, really, really well. Both performances were really well received. Opening was good, and the Saturday was just as good.

Theater Night Adventures with Charlie
00:00:52
Speaker
only seven shows.
00:00:55
Speaker
Yeah. In and out. I wish that there were more, but you know, it's a lot. Yeah. Charlie says don't. Well, um, brought Charlie to the theater and he had to drive with me. He drove me to the theater because he was like, uh, I want to drive you for your opening night because you've been working really hard and you know, that way you can relax.
00:01:20
Speaker
It was not more relaxing. it's it's a little bit probably stressful too yes with a new driver driving yeah yes on the highway um and then we get there and i was like are you you're gonna come in and meet everyone he goes do i have to and i was like yes you have to and so then i i forced him to come inside with me and then um he said hello and uh oh thomas stop thomas is attacking this new toy that we got them um And then he went off and was in the car on his iPad, killing time before the show started. He sat in the car.
00:01:58
Speaker
He sat in the car. i was like, you can hang out with us. He's like, nah, I'm going to sit in the car. And so I was like, okay. Oh my And right. Antisocial, grumpy, grumpy. cloudy man i just don't understand introverts i think is the thing yeah right like i wanted to show off my husband i talked about him so freaking much to everyone yeah and so then he had to like come get something from me think it was god i can't i think it was like a charger And so I was just, he was like, can you meet me by the back door of the theater? i was like, I'm in costume and I don't have any shoes on. So you have to come in the theater, baby.
00:02:33
Speaker
yeah So he came inside and um and made him meet even more people and to which he was just like, okay,
00:02:44
Speaker
The entire time was just like, this is my husband, Charlie, everyone. He's real.
00:02:53
Speaker
My real husband, Charlie. um But yeah, it was it
Meaningful Gifts for a Special Show
00:02:58
Speaker
was good. It was a good time. I'm very, very excited to... We have a pickup rehearsal tomorrow, and then um we've got more shows this coming weekend. And I started thinking of like... i don't I'm nor not usually the type of actor that does like opening or closing night gifts, you know?
00:03:16
Speaker
I'm always just like, ugh, just like so much work. It was just like... Plus there's like 30 people in the show. Like that's a lot of gifts. Exactly. Yeah, but I'm doing it for this. Yeah.
00:03:28
Speaker
But so I made the six-year-old and the nine-year-old little friendship bracelets that have the initials of their characters on them. That's cute. And then I got some thank you cards. I'm going to write some thank you cards to everyone.
00:03:40
Speaker
ah But like, yeah, I don't usually do it for shows, but like this one's had like a lot of really big impact on my little creative heart.
A Day Off: Errands and Movies
00:03:47
Speaker
So I thought it would it feels right to me to do that um and i'm sure i'll write some soppy sappy notes to you know the people that i've spent a lot of time with and really grown with on the show um yeah yeah that's so nice yeah yeah i love the theater do this oh sure no yeah yeah i can say it's the thought that counts it's the thought that counts
00:04:14
Speaker
um And, you know, plenty of people now listen to the show that are in the show or involved with the show. So um and i this is holding me accountable. That's true. I mean, like a full five weeks after this, when the show has been over for ah quite quite some time, we'll see if she actually did this. Wait a second, I didn't get my thank you card from Emma?
00:04:37
Speaker
What a bitch! Yeah, I'm sure that's what they'll say. Exactly right. but But how are you? Oh, fine. You know, the same as always.
00:04:49
Speaker
I haven't done anything interesting in weeks. Living dread.
Digital Frustrations and Humorous Comparisons
00:04:53
Speaker
You know, like always.
00:04:57
Speaker
Pretty much. Always. It's my day off and I've i've been doing something since about 830 this morning. So what have you been doing? uh errands laundry uh i had to had to watch this movie ah um ah i had to go to staples to print off of w9 and a direct deposit form so i can get paid for my play yay yay is this for the california production Yeah, yeah.
00:05:27
Speaker
so so i sent So I had to i to print it, sign it, and then scan it at Staples um because they wouldn't accept a digital signature. so Why, why, why, people? And it's 2025.
00:05:39
Speaker
Like, can we just like not, can we do stuff without having to have a printer? Like, I have a printer, but the cost of ink is just insane. Like, it's forty five dollars for eight it's like And it runs out pretty quickly, yeah.
00:05:52
Speaker
Yeah, da fuck, which is why i use my parents' printer, and I print off everything I need to in one go, um which my dad does not appreciate. Your parents who live like 1,500 miles away from you now?
00:06:05
Speaker
You betcha, baby. And when I go back in May, I'm to print off some more sewing patterns. I'm going to print off maybe some scripts. One of those big like copy paper boxes and just fill it up. Yeah.
00:06:18
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, hey, they they have they can afford ink. I'm a millennial. I can't afford a house. Exactly. Much less, much more expensive than a house. Ink. Yeah.
00:06:32
Speaker
Right? Absolutely insane. Absolutely insane. like how you're just playing with the cat toy now. i know. ah Well, you can't see, but Thomas is also, he's very, he's over here. He's very interesting. he is. Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:45
Speaker
Yeah, not just listeners. She moved to the camera and there's no cat there at all. She's just doing it herself.
00:06:54
Speaker
It's like that of
Introducing 'Go Get Your Girl' and 'Splash'
00:06:55
Speaker
SNL. Actually, I don't know if it ever made it on, but it was Will Ferrell's one of Will Ferrell's audition bits was him just playing being a businessman and playing with cat toys.
00:07:06
Speaker
I feel like I've seen that. Yeah. my man yeah gramer Where he goes, Karen, Karen, hold my calls. Hold my calls. And then he's just got like a little ball and he goes. That sounds like Will Ferrell.
00:07:21
Speaker
Yeah. Cats famously not featured in today's film. ah um No, I don't think there's a cat in this movie. Yeah. Plenty of fish. Lots of fish. Yeah. Well, honestly, yeah you know, just a few fish.
00:07:35
Speaker
um oh guess late at the there's fair amount of fish at the end there's some fish yeah yeah yeah there's there's there's a fair amount of fish and um i mean if you would qualify our lead daryl hannah as a fish then there's a she's a it's hard to say i mean she's she's definitely a mammal right like would you classify a mermaid as a mammal or a fish I mean, it as we see, we see her breasts several times in the movie, and that is the definition of a mammal. So have a lot of questions.
00:08:15
Speaker
Anyways, let's get right into So that's right, guys. You guessed it. This is Go Get Your Girl. This is the podcast where Emma and Katie... ah fall off a boat in Cape Cod when they're children and have a little cute little meet cute with a mermaid and then years later realize that they can't fall in love until they see said mermaid again uh said mermaid changes their life as they um continuously bang said mermaid um that's yeah my name's Emma
00:08:50
Speaker
and i'm katie and we are talking about the 1984 film splash uh directed by ron howard um ron howard very famous director directed lots and lots of movies um apollo 13 a beautiful a beautiful mind the the grinch um willow cocoon ah coro People like Ron Howard. I have never really liked Ron Howard. I think Apollo 13 is really good and
00:09:21
Speaker
And that's about it.
Tom Hanks' Breakthrough and Disney's Struggles
00:09:23
Speaker
um Well, i hate the Grinch. We've had this conversation, right? No, have we? just looked at me with such shock. I think The Grinch is one of the most unpleasant looking movies I've ever seen in my life. Oh have said this. yeah We've had this conversation because we can't we can't deny Christine Baranski and the cuntiness, but yes as, oh my God, what is her name? Jackie Kennedy. Oh, who?
00:09:51
Speaker
Martha May Houvier. Martha May Houvier. Yes. um Because I watch it every year. Charlie's favorite Christmas film. It's absolutely terrifying. um And he quotes it.
00:10:05
Speaker
Yeah. I think that movie is very bad. But... um This movie, Splash, directed by Ron Howard, this was his first big movie. He directed a couple of other things before.
00:10:18
Speaker
He's famous, of course, for being in Happy Days and The Andy Griffith Show. um And he started directing. her Yeah, he started of directing movies. This was his first big hit, for sure. um He had a movie called Night Shift a couple years previous, which had Henry Winkler in it from Happy Days.
00:10:35
Speaker
About... morgue attendants who start a brothel um which I can tell you when watched that movie for the first time in like 2020 that is not what I thought that movie was about when I started watching
00:10:53
Speaker
um I mean like it's a really interesting concept I just it seems a little bit for the time of like what late 70s early 80s Because this what, 84? 82? This is 84, yeah.
00:11:07
Speaker
And Night Shift was 82. Yeah, it's it's fine. um and But this movie was a big hit. This movie made Tom Hanks famous. This followed by Big a few years later really kind of cemented it. But he was in basically nothing before this movie. He had a TV show which was not well received called Bosom Buddies where he and Peter Scolari...
00:11:32
Speaker
had the there were In the 80s, there were a lot of sitcoms with like ridiculous premises. like In Three's Company, famously, you know John Ritter has to pretend to be gay because the yeah landlord won't let a man share an apartment with a woman.
00:11:47
Speaker
So in this movie, there's no men allowed in the apartment. In this show, there's no men allowed in the apartment at all. So Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari have to pretend to be women. And they're in drag. ah when then yeah like It's very silly.
00:12:02
Speaker
um So he did that, which was not not a big not not well rated and not well received. And then he got this movie because he guest starred in an episode of Happy Days.
00:12:13
Speaker
After Ron Howard, Ron Howard had already left, but he, I think he was a producer on the show and he saw it, him, and that's how he got the part. And also because like everybody else turned it down, um which we'll, we'll get into.
00:12:28
Speaker
um Yeah. This was.
Touchstone's Success with 'Splash'
00:12:30
Speaker
like Don't blame him. Yeah, yeah. um It's kind of strange this movie became such a hit. Oh my god.
00:12:39
Speaker
So this is a Disney movie. um yeah This was in the doldrums of of Disney's like worst period in the late 70s Disney really started to hit a decline.
00:12:51
Speaker
They couldn't get any live action hits. They couldn't get animated hits. They were scraping the bottom of the barrel. They kept trying to like open up to do more adult-oriented movies.
00:13:04
Speaker
um yeah see the The later CEO, Michael Eisner, who took over, I believe, in 84. I think it's the same year this movie came out, Michael Eisner took over. He was obsessed with getting an Oscar, and he really wanted an Oscar. he And he eventually spun off another company called Hollywood Pictures, which is also a Disney imprint for adult movies. very I don't know why they had two.
00:13:26
Speaker
But this one is called Touchstone. Oh, yeah. Listeners, you'd probably recognize the Touchstone Pictures. like it's a It's a blue circle with a lightning bolt through it. Yeah. Yeah. Ding!
00:13:39
Speaker
Every now and then they will release a movie. I think they released a movie like five or six years ago. And that was the first one in like five or six years or so with that imprint. It's just, it's kind of strange. But in the eighties and nineties, that was Disney's like, okay, these are movies that aren't kids movies, but Disney produced them completely. It's not a separate, it's not, as it's not, it's not, it's not even really a shingle. It's just ah a name they could put on something so they wouldn't have Disney associated with it because Disney was kind of box office poison.
00:14:09
Speaker
um at this point in in time people didn't want to work for Disney which is why all these people turned down this role when this movie was getting made because they didn't want to work for Disney because Disney hadn't had a hit in a long time years and years at this point really oh I thought that like I don't know read the script and felt weird about
00:14:30
Speaker
um It's hard to say. Maybe a little column A, column B, but ah but the disney like the Disney bias was was was very real. And it wasn't until, and this movie was the first movie released under Touchstone. And it's called you'll notice it's called Touchstone Films instead of Touchstone Pictures. They changed it a few years later.
00:14:47
Speaker
Um, but this was the first movie released under touchstone and it was a, it was a huge hit. Um, and then, you know, Disney kind of brought themselves back, you know, um, Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, who was the head of the studio, um, wing really brought, you know, the Disney Renaissance, you know, they started the revamp to the animation department and all kinds of stuff. Beginning of the nineties. Yeah.
00:15:10
Speaker
Yeah. And then everything got, uh, better for Disney and worse for everyone else. Uh, Yeah. Which actually- Because now they're one of four companies that owns everything.
00:15:22
Speaker
That owns everything. Like a terrible game of Monopoly. But it's with our lives. That's true. That brings me to a fun little Emma's Fun Facts.
00:15:33
Speaker
Emma's Fun Facts. um So the fountain that is in this movie that Madison- Oh, yeah. I know this. And Daryl Hannah- purchases for tom hanks's character um the actual fountain prop is at uh disney's hollywood studios in la so you can go see it um that's how proud of this movie that they are that they were yeah um they put it there they didn't it's in florida but it's in it's in florida oh yeah hollywood studios i made an assumption sorry
00:16:05
Speaker
Hollywood Studios is what, was about to say, it would say is is the one I saw fake? Because I remembered seeing it. and I haven't been to the one in Los Angeles. Yeah, Hollywood Studios is the name of the park and in part of Disney World. used to be called Disney MGM Studios. And now it's called Disney's Hollywood Studios. But it's in Orlando.
00:16:21
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Walt Disney World. Sorry. Walt Disney World. um So that's my bad. Which is my favorite park and was my favorite park the last time I went to Disney World, which was interesting my senior trip.
00:16:33
Speaker
Well, yeah, because it had the Tower of Terror. It had the Aerosmith rock and roller coaster, which were across from each other. And you could just go boom, boom, boom, multiple times.
00:16:43
Speaker
um If you want Aerosmith blared in your ears. Yeah. Well, if you need you needed like, you know, um a palate cleanser from ah Tower of Terror, which is my favorite. Have they rebranded
Favorite Disney Park Attractions
00:16:56
Speaker
that yet? Is it still Aerosmith? Surely not.
00:16:59
Speaker
Yeah. I think it is still Arizona. The Rock and Roller Coaster? Let's I remember at the time it was so famous because it would take you from like zero to ah bunch of miles per hour in like 10 seconds. Okay.
00:17:14
Speaker
So they closed Muppet Vision 3D, which first of all, yeah why? Yeah, know. It's awful. They're re-theming the Rock and Roller Coaster to feature the Muppets.
00:17:26
Speaker
Oh. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I mean, Muppets versus Aerosmith is an easy choice. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And I mean, like, how fun would that be to go from the Tower of Terror to the Muppets rock and roller coaster?
00:17:39
Speaker
Why are the Muppets on a rock and roller coaster? Because it's roller coaster. You do whatever you want. Yeah. But it also has the Brown Derby restaurant there that I really liked. I just really love Hollywood. Like an I Lucy.
00:17:52
Speaker
Me too I know when I was a kid and I went there for the first time, I really wanted eat at the Brown Derby because I'd seen the episode of I Love Lucy where they eat at the Brown Derby. Yes. And I was like eight years old. I'm like, oh, this is a restaurant.
00:18:04
Speaker
Okay. Fair enough. Yeah. Yeah. Right. you know i I didn't realize. I was like, but like, will this take me back into that time? Because that's what I want. No, everybody's just wearing Hawaiian shirts and cargo shorts and flip flops.
00:18:19
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. But um yeah, and MGM or Hollywood Studios is one of my favorites um because you can do the back lot tour.
00:18:30
Speaker
Well, not anymore. They've canceled everything. The Great Movie Ride, which was super cool, and they closed that. Apparently now it's like a Mickey Mouse thing.
00:18:40
Speaker
The Indiana Jones stunt adventure is still there. Fun fact, I've been on stage at the Indiana Jones stunt. You were the lucky kid? Yeah. ah like like three people out of the audience I think yeah um yeah it's ah it's easy because we were there this was an I think i've mentioned this podcast before in high school on spring break my theater department went to Disney World every year we did like We did like improv on the street.
00:19:06
Speaker
It was really embarrassing. and But we did get to go... like We did have like some behind-the-scenes tours and stuff. And like um got to do some like exercises with some of the... What they call cast members. ah there behind We did the...
00:19:21
Speaker
Behind the scenes of the Beauty and the Beast show. We did behind the scenes at um one of them in the Magic Kingdom. I don't remember. But every spring break, we would go and do that. And one year, one of the chaperones, who was like, you know, 25 probably, yeah ah turns to us and goes, if you want to get on stage in the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, just make an absolute ass of yourself and run down the stairs and wave your hands over your head. And so I did it. And it totally worked. I got to go on. Yeah.
00:19:48
Speaker
Nice. Nice. Oh, my God. I'm so jealous. i I always wanted to be the kid. um But I mean, like the last time I went, it was for my senior high school, my senior year high school trip.
00:20:01
Speaker
i And I was too cool. um Yeah. I had black hair and wore Hot Topic corsets everywhere. um But at the same rate Yeah. In Florida? tower In Florida.
00:20:17
Speaker
I mean, they were with jeans. Oh, no. Um, and I, but I still really love Disney. So it was a nice little dichotomy and, um, yeah, that was, it was a good time.
Diving Back into 'Splash'
00:20:30
Speaker
um anyways, so splash. Tell us about this movie, Katie. Um, yeah, so this is ah Splash. um Oh, yeah, so I mentioned it was directed by ah Ron Howard.
00:20:43
Speaker
It is written by a whole bunch of people. um Based on a story by Brian Grazer, who is Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment, you know, his producing partner. They, this was their second movie they worked on together. Brian Grazer is also, you know, a huge Hollywood bundle.
00:20:59
Speaker
um The two of them. Brian Grazer? no Okay, because if it if this was just a story he thought of, it makes me think that he might be a little bit of a creep. um I mean, as far as, I mean, who knows? But in terms of like public perception, like he's not canceled or anything. There's no allegations against Brian Grazer that I'm like aware of.
00:21:21
Speaker
Here's the thing. I remember watching this movie growing up and I remember when watching it, feeling a little uncomfortable with the way that women were portrayed in this film.
00:21:33
Speaker
Oh, you think Really? Wow. I don't think noticed. John can't. I mean, it starts with a child dropping coins to look up ladies skirts. And I remember feeling a little disgusted by that.
00:21:44
Speaker
You will be surprised to know it was written by five men. Five, five. Oh man. What? You don't say no no women on that writing team. yeah Sorry. Four men, four men.
00:21:56
Speaker
And I feel like this movie is for men. um ah Yeah. I mean, it's hard to say, like I don't know if this movie is for anyone, but like, I mean, I did talk to Caitlin about it too. Like she used to watch this movie all the time when she was a kid. all the time It's yeah.
00:22:10
Speaker
We loved this movie. um And it is, it's one of those things that like really didn't age well at all. It did not age well at all. But you're a child, you know? And you're like, oh, mermaid. They're for the mermaid. Pretty. I had a huge mermaid thing. I think I've talked about it on this podcast before.
00:22:28
Speaker
I was obsessed with The Little Mermaid. It was the first movie I ever saw in theaters. I used to like wrap a towel around my waist and and make my cousins play Little Mermaid with me. It was um it was a whole thing.
00:22:40
Speaker
um yeah Ariel was like my princess. Yeah. mean, who hasn't played Mermaids in the Pool? Oh, well, of course. Yeah. um yeah it's ah Yeah. We actually have ah a blanket now that ist that's it it has like a mermaid fin at the end of it. It's very cute. Oh, I want one. Yeah. It's in our it's in our blanket ah basket. I should have got it out.
00:23:03
Speaker
um I should have put it on and watched this movie this morning. But maybe it would have made you feel better about all the sexualization. Maybe this is like, but it's a little bit. It's for it's a little. I mean, essentially, this movie is released for adults. I mean, it's rated PG, but it does have nudity and plenty of swears in it to be rated PG.
00:23:23
Speaker
And that was kind of what it was like in the 80s.
00:23:27
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Because PG-13 wasn't invented until 1984 because Temple of Doom was the first 19... Temple of Doom was the first... um No, no.
00:23:39
Speaker
Temple of Doom and Gremlins both came out in 84 and they're why the PG-13 rating was released, was was and was created. And then I don't remember what the first PG-13 movie was, but it came out afterward.
00:23:51
Speaker
um because up until then you could get away with a lot of stuff i mean the right stuff has full frontal nudity and it's rated pg and also like three fucks i think like it's yeah it was very different time um yeah this movie um so it's based on a story by brian grazer who apparently his screenplay had poseidon in it um was very different uh story i think um and then more like little mermaid Yeah. um Lowell Ganz and Babalu Mandel, the unlikely named Babalu Mandel, who have their they they're a screenwriting team in the early 90s. They wrote A League of Their Own. They wrote City Slickers ah and this and then also Fever Pitch, which I guess we'll get around to eventually. yeah.
00:24:36
Speaker
yeah it um And then also Bruce J. Friedman. From my understanding, the Bruce J. Friedman screenplay was adapted from Brian Grazer's story and then it was thrown basically thrown out completely. And then Gans and Bobbi Mandel have the screenplay that's on screen.
00:24:53
Speaker
That's what we saw. so So they're the ones that made it horny. It seems that way, yes. Because, I mean, like, it's been a while since I've seen the movie League of Our the league of our Own, and i the TV show League of Our Own is stuck in my head. But, I mean, like, a League of Our Own is fairly feminist, right?
00:25:11
Speaker
Oh, it's very feminist. Like, the film? Yeah. I know that movie, like, the back of my hand. i did a staged reading of that. I love that movie. I played? um Gina Davis? Yes.
00:25:22
Speaker
I was Gina Davis, yes. Yeah. um Another six foot tall queen, much like Daryl Hannah in this movie. Hell yeah. um um But like, yeah, Lickin' Their Own is like a really, it is very feminist.
00:25:37
Speaker
and Also has Tom Hanks in it. um But this whole movie, I had to like, I felt very frustrated at the end of this movie, watching this movie, because not only did it like, you know, burst some childhood bubbles, but like, it's very much that also,
00:25:54
Speaker
Very much that. i was just like, Jesus fucking Christ. Why is there a whole sub-genre of rom-coms where it's lady is baby brain and she gets fucked into becoming human adult?
00:26:10
Speaker
Because that's a male fantasy. It's exactly that. It's it's because that's what that's what men want is a child that they can like groom into the partner that they want, which is like, you know it's the it's the cool girl monologue from Gone Girl, right? Exactly. Who is docile and pliant and opens her mouth for fucking, right? like Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:26:34
Speaker
um Because Daryl Hannah, for the first... third of this movie doesn't say a goddamn word before even like they have sex before she learns how to talk oh well they absolutely do yeah yeah yeah um it is it is very much uh it's yeah there's some there's some there's some iffy like consent things. I mean, there's the the, I guess the idea is that she's an adult, you know, like yeah she's as old as he is. She was a child when he was a child at the beginning.
00:27:06
Speaker
Yeah. And yeah she, but the thing that I think part of the, um I'm just trying to puzzle to think about this as like, as a screenwriter, like you would have to, in order to explain like her consenting, and I'm not saying this is good. Yeah.
00:27:24
Speaker
yeah you No, no, no. In order to explain... trying to get in the mindset. Yeah. In order to explain her ability to enthusiastically consent to sex would require a lot of lore that this movie doesn't have time for.
00:27:40
Speaker
you know what mean? Yeah. She has a language. Maybe it was in the OG. If she speaks the language, it shatters glass, right? She says her name and it destroys all the televisions in Bloomingdale's. Like...
00:27:53
Speaker
Blooming Tales, I guess, used to have like an electronics department. Did they still? Blooming Tales? don't think so. i Yeah. They have a home section. Maybe not as big anymore, but it's just sort of like a fancier Macy's.
00:28:06
Speaker
They don't have like TVs and stuff like that, do they? When TVs first came out, yeah. Well, no, I'm saying now. I knew that they did in 1984. I'm saying, do they still do that? No, no, no, no, no. Now they just have to be in the furniture.
00:28:19
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, because the Macy's, um ah because regular Macy's don't. Like a Macy's that you would go to anywhere else don't. But the Macy's in, um the Macy's at Herald Square does. Like the Macy's at Herald Square hat is like ah an old, still an old school department store. Like they have, every they have a kids section. They have a book department. They have like electronics. They really do have everything. Yeah.
00:28:41
Speaker
um but that's the only one and actually i mean I haven't been there in over a decade so maybe they don't anymore but they did the last time I was there um I just wasn't aware Bloomingdale's did not really a Bloomingdale's shopper kind of poor for that I'm not going to answer that okay I'm not going to respond in, am I a Bloomingdale shopper or have I been a Bloomingdale shopper? and more of ah Absolutely, I've been to Bloomingdale's. Well, I've been to Bloomingdale's. I'm just saying, you know, like, i've I'm sure I've bought something from Bloomingdale's. I'm just not a regular Bloomingdale's shopper. like It's not my preferred department store. My preferred department store is Nordstrom's.
00:29:24
Speaker
Oh, it is. Jesus.
00:29:30
Speaker
Which growing up when I was infronting the bill was my absolute fave. And I used to go to the gallery in Houston, Texas and like wander around and, you know, go to the Lancome aisle and get the like juicy tubes and other things.
00:29:45
Speaker
ah But now I can't. Dare I ask what your, what was your weekly allowance when you were in high school? I didn't have one. Oh, did you have a credit card?
00:29:56
Speaker
I, No, I was just anytime I wanted to go shopping, I just asked my mom. And she would just give you money? She would take me shopping.
00:30:07
Speaker
Oh, okay. So you would go with her. Okay, yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't go when you- Love's a good shop. I wouldn't go anywhere in public with my mother. I was too embarrassed oh not to be seen with my, not specifically of my mother, but just to be seen in public with my parents. Like, yeah, couldn't do that. No, I loved it. I loved it. Especially because my sister hated shopping with my mom. And so I got all the love, which meant more clothes and more stuff, which has developed into sort of a very bad love language of where I want gifts.
00:30:39
Speaker
Sure. Okay. Yeah. I love stuff. I'm a physical touch, um ah quality time ah kind of person. Yeah. Yeah, I'm a stuff person.
00:30:52
Speaker
You got to give me stuff. It's gifts. It's just called gifts, right? Is it? No, it's this there's a better name for it, right? It could be gift giving or gift receiving and gift giving. Like I feel an obligation to like, I guess that is my language.
00:31:06
Speaker
Love language gifts because I feel like, I mean, i just talked about how I want to do something for everyone in the cast individually. That's true. Whether or not I'll do it. Um, it's the question.
00:31:17
Speaker
Uh, but I, I, I like stuff. Um, you can give me stuff. I will say, however, my mom did make me get a job at age 16 and I, I've been had a job since I was 16 and then that was money that I spent.
00:31:32
Speaker
Yeah. um Um, so, but I spent that on drugs. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, hi Donna. Um, ah Hi Donna, she knows, she's aware We've talked about this Yeah the um I mean to be fair like i i was not I was not poor as a child My parents were middle class um I had also had a A penchant for Expensive to me clothing Which would be like you know Banana Republic And Express Most of my clothes came from Express in high school and That was my thing Mine all came from New York's rooms Okay
00:32:11
Speaker
And Urban Outfitters. Okay. Wow. Well, there wasn't an Urban Outfitters within 100 miles of my hometown. so
00:32:21
Speaker
Well, that sounds like a you problem. Honestly, i don't know if there is still. Like, I'm sure there's an Urban Outfitters in Knoxville. But that's that's a little over 100 miles from where I grew up. Yeah. Actually, I bet there's one in Asheville. I bet there's an Urban Outfitters in Asheville. That's much closer. Yeah.
00:32:37
Speaker
um No, there's definitely not an Urban Outfitters anywhere in the Tri-Cities, Tennessee, which is where I grew up. um And there's not a Nordstrom either. I mean, we had Belk, which is a Southern ah department store.
00:32:49
Speaker
um And we had Profits. And we had Sears and Goodies. And those were the department stores. And JCPenney. Like, those were the department stores. We didn't have anything like that. we didn't have Macy's. I mean, there's a Macy's there now in my hometown, but there wasn't when I was a kid.
00:33:04
Speaker
We had, um yeah, for Christmas. For clothes, it was Express, Banana Public, Gap, American Eagle, Hollister, Wet Seal, you know, if that tells everybody how old I am.
00:33:16
Speaker
Delia's. Delia's. I mean, I had friends. i had friends who worked at Express. I had friends who worked at Victoria's Secret. I had friends who worked at American Eagle and Hollister and Abercrombie. Abercrombie was a little too expensive for me. Like, Express was about the limit of what I could afford.
00:33:33
Speaker
um Yeah. a I had, like... ah Yeah, my friend Ashley works at Abercrombie and she could get us stuff for discounted stuff. But like, yeah yeah, I had like one pair of Abercrombie jeans and then like, I think maybe a shirt or something, but that's it. Yeah.
00:33:48
Speaker
Yeah. I just wasn't interested in Abercrombie. I was more interested in Hot Topic. Well, we had very, we were different. I was a prep and you were an emo. was very different. An emo kid.
00:34:00
Speaker
Yeah. um But anyway, Splash. Tell us, what is the plot of Splash? Okay, so we start off. It's 1964. They're playing Wooly Bully on a boat for some reason.
00:34:12
Speaker
Wooly Boater! Which I, of course, associate with the Chipmunks movie. And I don't know if you're familiar with the Chipmunks movie. But it was something that I used to rent. No, the one from like the eighty s Or maybe the 90s.
00:34:26
Speaker
i don't remember. i haven't seen that It was, yeah, I watched it a lot when I was a kid. It was a V, we never owned it, but I would rent it a lot from Blockbuster when I was like, you know, five or six years old. And um they have a big scene. It's the chipmunks and the chipettes.
00:34:41
Speaker
um And they are like go around the world and they have like this big concert in Mexico at the end and they sing Willy Bully. And that's basically the only thing I remember from the chipmunk movie, but I was way into it. Yeah.
00:34:53
Speaker
Love it. um There's this scene we see. Yeah, these two brothers, these two little kids. um The mother says to the father, talk to him. The father hits the little boy in the head. And then she says, listen to your father, which I thought was funny. Yep.
00:35:08
Speaker
ah ah This was all into reaction of younger John Candy dropping coins on the floor to look up ladies skirts like a pedophile. He's not a pedophile yet.
00:35:20
Speaker
But boy, oh boy, is that the makings of a sex offender. A pedophile? I mean, they are adult women, right? Yeah, i rent I meant sex offender, but it came out pedophile.
00:35:32
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fair enough. Yeah. um And then Tom Hanks is staring at the water and jumps off the boat. um And it's also this like sepia toned thing. It's like, it is another thing. Like again, i just don't like Ron Howard. I don't think his movies are very good.
00:35:51
Speaker
ah This is one of the, like previously, I mean, Caitlin and I did rewatch this movie, I think in 2020. And so at that point I've known like what it's like, but before then I would say like Splash and Apollo 13 are the only Ron Howard movies I like.
00:36:04
Speaker
yeah And now we can eliminate the since Since I've seen it as an adult We can eliminate Splash from that But we have to do it because it yeah it's It's a quintessential rom-com And like it's canon Well of course we do bad movies on this thing All the time yeah offensively ah Sexist movies yes Yeah, this is but it it just seems very amateurish. And I know he's very young and I know this is his second movie, but it is like, yeah, the sepia tone in the flashback, some of the camera movements, some of the it the very cartoonish like stuff with ah with Eugene Levy, like getting like beat up repeatedly. it's just, I think it seems very amateurish to me. um i'm not ah I'm not a huge fan of that. Just the directing in general outside of the story.
00:36:51
Speaker
It also just feels very like 80s comedy. Like it's like. Oh, yeah. Tropes of 80s comedy that you which it's 1984. So like you're. It it is not out of place, but like it felt like I've seen things like this in Ghostbusters. so I've seen things like this in, you know, a thousand other movies, you know, Animal House and stuff like that. I've never seen Animal House.
00:37:18
Speaker
Second time it's been brought up on the spot. That's right. boy We will not be doing it on this movie. I saw it once on a date. ah and Yikes. and Didn't watch a lot of it.
00:37:29
Speaker
Oh, okay. Fair enough. Yeah. Yeah. um Stuck in face. Oh, that's... I didn't think you were going to say set face for a second. The... um
00:37:46
Speaker
Feel free to cut that out. The um mermaids. Mermaids. Yes. So he jumps out into the water and he's underwater and he sees this little girl ah mermaid and they're just staring at each other. She has this necklace on.
00:38:01
Speaker
They're just staring at each other. And then his father like pulls him out of the water. And this is like Cape Cod. He jumped off of a boat. Like that's very dangerous. It's amazing. He survived.
00:38:12
Speaker
um Yeah. Yeah. And then we see the girl and she's crying. And then she swims away and you see her mermaid tail. And then it's the wildest sub subtitle. It says New York City this morning.
00:38:28
Speaker
Like this morning. That's just a weird thing to to say. yeah Like present day. Yeah. yeah yeah Like it's this morning is odd.
00:38:38
Speaker
um and run we meet tom hanks and his brother john candy which okay sure whatever man yeah and john candy is so excited because he was featured in penthouse magazine by his brother is basically not changed at all since he was like 10 years old He's just a girl now.
00:39:01
Speaker
He literally, later on, he literally just drops coins to look up women's skirts again. Like that is like arrestable behavior. Offense. Offense. At a wedding.
00:39:13
Speaker
Like what? And then there's, there's one moment of like, um, when he's, Tom Hanks is being bombarded by the press and John Candy goes, are any of you from Penthouse magazine? If not, we have nothing to say.
00:39:32
Speaker
He's a horndog. um Which, fair enough. anod drumm And And a gambler. yeah And he's just an all-around not responsible guy. He's a man-child. A liar. He's constantly lying to... He tells that like business guy that that Tom Hanks was in Vietnam. It just... yeah
00:39:52
Speaker
ridiculous yeah um he uh his tom hanks his girlfriend breaks up with him because he can't say i love you because he can only love fish um which is an undercurrent to this movie i mean well yeah he has like two he has an aquarium in his office he has two aquariums in his apartment like the man loves fish um i guess the i wonder why I guess the idea is that like they met as children and it's like their fate is tied together or something, but that's yeah so stupid.
00:40:24
Speaker
Like you can sort of see the undercurrent of like what the lore was, which would have been helpful, which is like they had this connection as children. And so that therefore, like you said, they're destined to be together.
00:40:35
Speaker
And so he can never love anyone but Daryl Hannah. yeah right And that's also why he breathe. Exactly. And also why he can breathe underwater when he's with Daryl Hannah.
00:40:47
Speaker
um That is the implication. Because their love. Yeah. Yeah. There's no lines about that, really. I mean, she just says at the end, she says, you can breathe because you're with me. And he's like, okay, fine. I guess I'll jump in the East River.
00:41:00
Speaker
Anyway, and we're not there yet. Yeah. He gets super drunk. um His face is in the pretzels and he sits up and goes, oh, I'm on the bar. And I thought we've all been there.
00:41:13
Speaker
We've all been there. Sometimes when I'm back in May, baby, you and I are going to be back there. i don't want to be on the bar. emma Why don't we have like, why don't we just have a nice time?
00:41:26
Speaker
We don't have to go Angelino's and then the Wake and Bakery. then get very crossfaded in public. We don't need to do that. we can, we can hang out in my apartment and like watch a movie or something.
00:41:39
Speaker
Right. Oh, that has does sound really nice. That sounds really nice. Can we go to Mariano's and get drunk at Mariano's though? I guess. I miss it so much. Does that say Chicago to you? Getting drunk at Mariano's?
00:41:52
Speaker
Absolutely it does. It's the cheapest bar in town. For those that don't live in Chicago, Mariano's is a grocery store. It is similar to Stop and Shop or Stu Leonard's.
00:42:03
Speaker
um That's an East Coast thing. It's a Kroger is what it is. Like it's explicitly a Kroger. um Like it's owned by Kroger and they have Kroger branded products. Yes, exactly.
00:42:15
Speaker
However, their whole shtick is that they um have at least not every single one, but a good chunk of Mariano's will have a bar, ah piano bar.
00:42:27
Speaker
And um also like a hot food place where you can like go buy your meat upstairs and they'll cook it for you downstairs. And like some of them have like an oyster bar and it's it's a bougie grocery store. Yeah.
00:42:40
Speaker
Yeah. The grocery carts have special holders for your wine glasses so you can walk around while you're drinking. And I will say it is effective because there have been many a time when Charlie and I lived in the city that, ah well, number one, I would send him to do the grocery shopping. He would go with friends.
00:42:58
Speaker
our friend Sarah and then he'd come back wasted with no groceries and just hot food hot bar with no groceries no groceries and said just I had to my margaritas and then times that I went with him that we um had to because it's like the cheapest you can get ah a beer for three dollars and a glass of like a pint of wine for like five we took our friends lot wine It's a lot of wine.
00:43:24
Speaker
We took our friends and Laura here, um, or there when they came to visit Chicago from the UK and it was their favorite place out of all of Chicago.
00:43:36
Speaker
It was Mariano's. Um, and You can, so like there was one time Charlie and I went and we had just like, it was after work. So on an empty stomach, a glass of wine and a beer and we're tipsy. And so we're going, what do we want for dinner?
00:43:52
Speaker
I guess we'll buy this $10 thing of almonds. Might eat them.
00:43:58
Speaker
and we spent like $150 on like two days worth of food. So it is effective. You will spend more money than you need to. Yeah. Go to Mariana.
00:44:10
Speaker
So but while he's drunk, he decides to take a cab to Cape Cod because Cape Cod calms him, I guess. um Yeah, and whatever. he gets in a cab and makes them take him to Cape Cod, which is 300 miles away.
00:44:24
Speaker
And that's yeah that's, I don't even know how much that would be in 1984, let alone now. Although to be fair, when I was driving- Cape is in Massachusetts. that That is where it is, yeah. When I was driving for Lyft, I did take someone to Milwaukee once, so- That's not necessarily that unheard of though, because um we've had um friends that our, our friend Mark came in for a work trip and his company didn't want to put them up in like, um it was either Milwaukee or Kenosha.
00:44:55
Speaker
And it must've been Kenosha. Cause I feel like you would find a place in Milwaukee. So they put them up at like the wit in Chicago and they would take Ubers on the company's dime up to Kenosha every day.
00:45:07
Speaker
Oh my God, that's crazy. Yeah, which is insane. Absolutely insane. But that's what they did. So. it's it's It was barely worth it, I think, for me to drive to Milwaukee. Because, you know, you you got to drive back alone. Like, you not you're not going to get a fare back from Milwaukee to Chicago. So. um Yeah. It was fine. It was it was late at night.
00:45:29
Speaker
And, you know, I had, I could listen to podcasts or something. But, ah yeah, it was like, I got paid like, I think it was like $130 or something. to drive in. Milwaukee's 90, like 90 minutes away from Chicago. Yeah.
00:45:42
Speaker
would say, is it only $130? I've spent like $75 going from Chicago to my parents and they're like, seventy five dollars going from chicago to my parents and they're like Well, I mean, it depends on the traffic. It depends on the time of day. depends on like all that stuff. That's how much I got paid that time. It was it was it was like after it was like after 10 p.m. I think, but not like, you know, super late when it gets when the rates go up again.
00:46:04
Speaker
um It's not the most money I ever made driving for Lyft. The most money I ever I made almost $200 driving these people to the Rugby World Cup or not the Rugby. It wasn't the Rugby World Cup. It was it was a rugby game.
00:46:15
Speaker
Between the New Zealand national team who had won the rugby. yeah I don't remember. They talked to me a lot about the rugby. I don't remember. yeah And and some of and an american the American team, maybe? I don't remember. But it was out i get it was where the Chicago Fire play or where they used to play way out in like Bridgeport or something. And that was that was like over $200. Because like we get we're were in traffic for it for a lot of it. yeah you know The longer you're in traffic, the more money you're making.
00:46:44
Speaker
Yeah, I guess so. um We have to imagine he was in no traffic, but also that that cab driver was not pleased to drop him off in Cape Cod because he drops him off at the wrong part of Cape Cod.
00:46:57
Speaker
Apparently, yes. um So he meets Eugene Levy. Eugene Levy is on the beach with these two idiot Mainers who are have ridiculous accents and are very stupid. And he's he's in Massachusetts.
00:47:14
Speaker
They're from Massachusetts. Oh, it sounded like Maine to me. I guess it's very similar. Yeah. ah New England, baby. Yeah. um And he ah he's yelling at them and he's he's doing some kind of research in Cape Cod. We find out later he's looking for the mermaid.
00:47:31
Speaker
um We don't. Yeah, the mermaid hunter. Again, lore. It's all very not paid attention to very much at all. It's very... very lightly sketched like i mean last shot of this the last shot of this movie is an underwater civilization and that's it's atlantis you have to assume it's atlantis right what other underwater city is there like she's from atlantis and the only way to get there is from swimming through cape cod well they don't swim through cape cod they swim from the east river like from the east river and do they swim all the way to cape cod we don't know reefs
00:48:05
Speaker
I didn't know that there was a coral reef in the East River, but, you know. There's not! There's dead bodies and cars. And the water's very clear, also, to be the East River. Yeah.
00:48:18
Speaker
No, no. East River, full of poo. Yeah. Well, it's honestly, it's almost more like, i mean, they it's... neither here nor there but they also they get in that car at the american museum of natural history and in like two minutes they're at wall street i'm like wow they are going so fast like that is a long drive my friend boy oh boy they were in a hurry um i don't know is i guess that south street seaport is where they're supposed to be at the end or is it the battery i don't know i thought i thought it was the port authority
00:48:54
Speaker
Well, no, that would be the wrong side of the island. Yeah, well, no, they say on the the, the cops on the radio say they're in the Wall Street district. So it's got to be South Street Seagull. Oh, okay. Yeah. I just i remember thinking, because like, it would make a lot more, yeah.
00:49:07
Speaker
yeah would make so much more sense if it was the Port Authority. Right. If it was, that would be the, that would be the the other river, but it would be so much closer to the American Museum of Natural History than Wall Street. Yeah. yeah Exactly.
00:49:21
Speaker
And also, i don't know. but just Doesn't that like go out? or Actually, no. but Hold on. I'm thinking that's the west side of Manhattan. Not the east. Yeah, that's the... um um That's the... Oh my god.
00:49:37
Speaker
The other river. The Hudson River. The Hudson? The Hudson. Yeah, but So, he gets in this little boat to get across this comically small boat.
00:49:51
Speaker
um the There's another thing that I think is genuinely funny where the guy goes, the engine dies and he's like, ah it's right. I'll go get the little boat. And he jumps out of the water and swims away. And Tom Hanks goes, the little boat.
00:50:07
Speaker
He is such an asshole because Tom Hanks is like, yeah, i can't swim. Because the guy's like, ah why do you look nervous? His name's like Fat John or something like that. Fat Jack, yeah.
00:50:19
Speaker
Fat Jack. And he's like, why you look so nervous? He's like, oh i can't swim. You know, just a little like unnerving. And he
00:50:28
Speaker
he goes, oh, so me doing this, rocking back and forth, would that scare you? And then he floods the engine doing that, yeah.
00:50:40
Speaker
um he ah He falls into the water because he's trying to get the engine going again, and it does, and then he knocks himself out with the boat, and he should have died, and that would have been a better ending for everyone, probably.
00:50:52
Speaker
But instead, Daryl Hannah finds him again and takes him to the shore where they see each other. She walks up to him completely completely naked. She dries off very fast, I i assume. she's She's a very fast dryer. very, very fast.
00:51:09
Speaker
Her hair dries fast. It's amazing. You to think that it's mermaid speed. Yeah, I think it's that's supernatural um in some way. Mermaid speed. um And she's also like, it's her hair is crimped. And like that yeah wig, is it's it's a lot of hair. Because it has to cover her her breasts, right? Not to mention in the previous version of this, her butt. so um she sees him and then like she jumps into the water and you there's, you can see her, her butt in the movie.
00:51:41
Speaker
Disney plus when they first released this movie on, on Disney plus edited out her butt from the movie. What? Yeah.
00:51:52
Speaker
So it's, you can find it on YouTube. um Yeah. Cause when Caitlin and I watched this ah in 2020, I believe is when we watched it for the first time since we were kids, that was the version we saw. And we're like, what the hell is going on? It looks ridiculous.
00:52:06
Speaker
They like use CGI to extend her hair to cover her butt. And it looks awful. And there's another, like the scene where she's in the tank later. Yeah. They do this like weird cropping thing. There's ah if if you're interested, you can go on YouTube, I'm sure. And and see like like side by sides. I'm sure somebody has done that. I haven't i haven't taken taking a look at it, but it's I'm sure it's fair um because she's naked throughout a lot of this movie. And oh yeah, it does not know what clothes are.
00:52:34
Speaker
It's visible. um And so they, I guess when Disney Plus started, they didn't really have adult content on there or like, you know, adult content. They didn't have PG rated movies on there. And so they edited all the nudity out in a very bizarre way.
00:52:49
Speaker
But like also, what are you going do? Tell kids that butts don't exist? Everybody's got butts. yeah it's not It's not sexual nudity. I mean, there is sex in this movie, but it is all off screen.
00:53:01
Speaker
Like, you never actually see them have sex. You never see it. And it's only, it's never really mentioned that they're doing it. She just kisses him a lot. and Well, i mean, the reporters mention it.
00:53:12
Speaker
The reporters mention it a lot. The guy who fucked a fish. Yeah.
00:53:21
Speaker
Um... ah Anyway, so... Yeah, yeah go ahead. yeah You'll go through this faster than me, probably. I do have a question, um which I answered when I was going through my fun facts.
00:53:34
Speaker
um So, and one of the first scenes that we see of Daryl Hannah, so Tom Hanks drops his wallet after he gets hit on the head with the boat. Right. And...
00:53:45
Speaker
the wallet falls down and she finds it. And that's how she knows to go to New York city. And so she swims into like an abandoned, like shipwreck ship in the bottom of the sea. And it's almost a shot for shot of the little mermaid.
00:54:00
Speaker
So like, I have to wonder if they were inspired by the little mermaid so much so that this brings us to another of Emma's fun facts, Emma's fun facts. I couldn't find if they were directly inspired by that scene.
00:54:14
Speaker
Um, But I do know that, number one, Daryl Hannah had been swimming mermaid style with her legs bound together since she was a child because she was fascinated with the original OG Hans Christian Andersen Little Mermaid story.
00:54:26
Speaker
Wow. Which is why she's so good at swimming with that fishtail. um And also ah that in the original concept for The Little Mermaid, there The Little Mermaid was really supposed to be blonde, but they had to change it to red hair because they didn't want, um because they thought it would be too much like Sposh.
00:54:51
Speaker
Oh, yeah. She would not look good blonde. It's much better with red hair. I can't even imagine her blonde. Yeah. Right. The red hair, it also fits Ariel's personality. Yeah, for sure.
00:55:01
Speaker
She's fiery redhead. She does similar stuff like with the maps and then like she's got almost like a flounder type in that giant sea turtle that goes swimming by her. And it's like almost exactly the Little Mermaid. I'm waiting for her to sing Part of Your World.
00:55:19
Speaker
Yeah. ah Yeah, that's interesting because a Little Mermaid was, I mean, Disney, obviously, and it was, I think it came out in 89. So it been five years after this. So I'm sure, you know, it was probably, had at least started development at this point. There's really long development times on those Disney cartoons.
00:55:34
Speaker
Oh, yeah, because um were originally all hand-drawn, so. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, um she finds his wallet. She follows him to New York. She goes to Liberty Island. She gets seen by a bunch of tourists.
00:55:47
Speaker
She has his wallet on him on her. They call him from his work. Because she gets arrested. She gets arrested for nudity. Yeah. He finds her, takes her home. They immediately have sex in the elevator.
00:56:01
Speaker
In the elevator. and the elevator. the elevator. Not even, they haven't even said anything. He just says hi and she immediately makes out with him. And then they get to his building and then he's like saying something and she makes out with him. And then they have sex in the elevator. And then they get to his apartment and they immediately have sex.
00:56:19
Speaker
And then he's like, I got to go back to work. And then she's just like, she doesn't say anything. She just kisses him. And he goes, nah, that can wait. She has not said a goddamn word. No, she hasn't. um He doesn't know her name. He doesn't know anything about it I mean, like, did did he have a condom on him in the elevator before they got to his apartment? Like... Either that or he just doesn't give a fuck.
00:56:41
Speaker
Well, she probably doesn't even understand what an STD is. So, you know. Exactly. Exactly. Let alone... Would their babies be a third fish? Hold on. Now I'm thinking about, like, mermaid menstruation and, like... Like...
00:56:57
Speaker
you There's a lot of questions. There's so many questions. does she lay eggs or does she carry a baby like mammal? Do fish menstruate?
00:57:08
Speaker
Fish lay eggs and then those eggs get fertilized. Yes, so they don't menstruate. don't think, hold on. No, no, nothing that lays eggs would menstruate.
00:57:23
Speaker
How do you spell menstruate? Oh, I'm not the first one. Does fish menstruate? Do fish have menstruation cycle? No, if you lay eggs, you don't menstruate.
00:57:33
Speaker
I should not have a menstrual cycle. Yeah. So, but she does, which would make her a mammal.
00:57:43
Speaker
And there's also another on another Google ah answer, which is do catfish have menstrual cycles? The answer is catfish are not cats. They act like fish.
00:57:55
Speaker
Yeah. i'm Yeah. Certain bats and elephant shrews experience menstruation. okay.
00:58:09
Speaker
Bats and elephant shrews are still mammals. Google's worthless. Yeah. um Because I googled are mammals the only the only creatures that menstruate and it said no, some bat species and elephants trues experience menstruation. Those are mammals.
00:58:26
Speaker
Remember when Google worked? Before AI ruined everything?
00:58:33
Speaker
Anyway, um if you're a scientist, let us know. Do lizards lay Lizards lay eggs. so next There are some animals that have, that give live birth that aren't mammals.
00:58:49
Speaker
Like sharks are fish who give live birth. So maybe they do. I don't know. I'm not going to Google every animal I can think. Well, whales are mammals, but sharks aren't. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
00:59:02
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. But, um, yes so Yeah, is a question does a mermaid, I guess it has to be is she in water or is she dry when she's pregnant? What's the thing? Is she in two states? What happens if she gets pregnant and then like has like moves from legs to no legs? like What happens to her her parts inside? Is it just the legs?
00:59:26
Speaker
I don't know. Are we thinking it's an ACOTAR situation? Spoilers for ACOTAR. Is she cold or warm-blooded? is Is like her insides, like if she has sex in one form and then she has a little mermaid baby in her uterus, like does her, if she then transforms back to being a human, will she then die because her body cannot handle said uterus?
00:59:49
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like an ACOTAR. Or like Superman and Lois Lane, you know, like.
00:59:57
Speaker
Just like an ACOTAR. Yeah.
01:00:04
Speaker
um these are all the questions that um that the the public is dying to know about the 1984 movie splash for sure absolutely i mean i just i had a lot of questions about consent most of all because a lot this movie is just okay so basically fast forward she learns how to speak by watching tv which is like the umpteenth movie that we watched where that's a thing yep
01:00:29
Speaker
ah It is now a trope of this podcast. um And she can speak perfectly. And there's a very funny moment when she's in Bloomingdale's and she's doing, you know, jazzercise. It's Richard Simmons. Yeah.
01:00:41
Speaker
Yes, Richard Simmons. ah And she's doing a little jazzercise as they're trying to close. And Tom Hanks finds her and he's just like, oh, don't worry about her. I know she seems weird. she's She doesn't speak English.
01:00:54
Speaker
And she goes, hello, Peter. Or is his name Peter? Alan. Alan. Alan and then the guy's like well that sounds like English to me i I might not be fancy but that sounds like English to me and yeah so then yeah oh sorry so I was going to say she goes to Bloomingdale's because she sees a commercial that says, Anne Klein at Bloomingdale's.
01:01:17
Speaker
Anne Klein at Bloomingdale's. At Bloomingdale's. Anne Klein. And so she learns the word Bloomingdale's. She gets the doorman to give her a cab. She's wearing his suit, which she's totally pulling off, by the way. She looks great. absolutely.
01:01:30
Speaker
She looks so good. And it's so funny the line that the saleswoman has to her because as she's walking around, I was just like, man, she looks like ah Diane Keaton in Annie Hall. And then the lady goes, oh, honey, this out this look is out.
01:01:44
Speaker
What, have you seen Annie Hall too many times? Yep. This look is over. She says, like, come on, let's get you some lingerie. Yes, because she's like, a lady like you shouldn't be wearing boxer shorts.
01:02:00
Speaker
Like, so she knew she needed to put on clothes. She put on his clothes because that's what was there. And she went to Bloomingdale's on her own. Then she changes into an outfit. And then they're walking down the street. He picks her up from Bloomingdale's and walking down the street. And he's like, so you speak English? And she's like, well, I learned from watching TV. It was very easy. He's like, okay, whatever.
01:02:19
Speaker
Whatever. what's your name? What should I call you? Because she tried to tell him her name and it shattered all the TVs in Bloomingdale's. Yeah. And they see the sign for Madison Avenue and she says, Madison. And he's like, that's not a name.
01:02:31
Speaker
Yep. And that I we sort of hinted And we about previously. Yeah. Yeah. This was sort of, it is credited with the creation or the, um it's the popularity of the name Madison in the eighties.
01:02:47
Speaker
This is why we have Madison as a girl's name. Yeah, just a few years after this, it was the number one name for girls in America. It was Madison. It seems like, were you watching this movie?
01:03:01
Speaker
I don't know. Would you go to this movie? They all voted for Reagan, Emma. We can't understand their minds. The woman who has been objectified this entire film as just a baby sex object.
01:03:14
Speaker
I want to name my firstborn daughter. this This person's name. Yeah. Yeah. um Well, we should talk to Madison's mom about that probably. yeah Christine!
01:03:31
Speaker
um She says that they have six days until the moon is full and that's when she has to leave. and That's all we get. more We don't understand. yeah We don't know. why can And then then she says later when he goes with her, he says, you can never come back. He's like, do you mean you can never?
01:03:46
Speaker
Why not? why why can you be here now but not later? It seems like any time you get dry, you grow legs. Yeah, exactly. And it seem like they go through a portal or some magical thing. They just swim and see a bunch of fish.
01:04:01
Speaker
And then all of a sudden they're at Atlantis. like it makes What I would love is a remake of this movie where they put all that lore in, take out all the sexual predator nonsense. And I don't know, we have a nice fully rounded character.
01:04:15
Speaker
Well, I mean, Channing Tatum has been trying to do it for years. um You know, Channing Tatum as the mermaid. Yeah. Channing Tatum has been trying to get a gender swapped version of Splash made for like, I want to say like a decade.
01:04:28
Speaker
Oh my God. I need that in my life. Let's see if it's still in development. but Wouldn't that just be the 13th year?
01:04:36
Speaker
but i don't know. um ah um in 2016 Deadline reported that Jillian Bell and Channing Tatum will star uh with Bell as the female human and Tatum as the merman uh as in in in February 2023 someone had had rewritten the script they apparently it's still in 2023 it said it was moving ahead but that seems like that's the last news I can I can see so I don't know if it's It'll probably be in 2053. Turn around or whatever. um Yeah.
01:05:11
Speaker
yeah But that sounds cute. I would watch that. Yeah. um By the time it gets made, it's probably going to be starring Timothee Chalamet. And I don't know. what What if the mermaid was a twink? Gen Z, right?
01:05:24
Speaker
um
01:05:27
Speaker
Dove Cameron. um I mean, that would be good. So, yes, she goes into the bathtub to like, I guess it like, it seems like maybe it's uncomfortable for her to have legs because she sneaks into the bathtub, fills it with salt water and like yeah relaxes and lets her tail unfurl. But then she doesn't want him to see her. And he's like knocking on the door. he's like, what are you doing? She's like, I'm taking a bath. He's like, can I come in? And she's like, no. And he's like, I can't have that.
01:05:55
Speaker
I have to have access to you at all times. And he busts down the goddamn door. What if she was taking a shit? Like, can we let her have modesty, please?
01:06:06
Speaker
He's like a cat. He has to be next to her at all times. Jesus. And then he questions her and he's like, why why didn't you open the door? And she's like, I don't know. i'm i was shy. And he goes, well, you weren't shy earlier.
01:06:20
Speaker
i'm know. It's very creepy. it's Why couldn't she just say she was taking a poo? it's i mean like it does It doesn't matter. like He demands access to her at all times. like He is her owner now and like and cannot accept that she has any interiority whatsoever. yeah can't.
01:06:40
Speaker
I can't. Oh my god. meanwhile i mean yeah There's a thing with the fountain. He says he likes the fountain. They're gonna tear it down. She buys him the fountain by selling her like gold necklace or whatever. um Puts it in his apartment.
01:06:52
Speaker
like i yeah We don't get any explanation as to how that happened. Or how the water functional. It's hooked up to the water. and like, he's rich, we should say. He and John Candy run, like, this major produce, ah like, supplier.
01:07:07
Speaker
And he drives a BMW in Manhattan, okay? Yeah. Aw. Has a big, huge apartment. We're not exactly sure where it is, but it seems like it's in, um like, Upper West Side or Midtown, probably. Yeah.
01:07:20
Speaker
Yeah. Meanwhile, Eugene Levy has seen her in the newspaper, has come back to New York, somehow found out where Tom Hanks lives. I don't know how he did that.
01:07:32
Speaker
Don't ask questions. And is constantly trying to splash her with water. He's gone to the American Museum of Natural History where he presumably worked. And his mentor yeah like tells him, like you've you've made an idiot of yourself. And he's like, I've got to improve it.
01:07:49
Speaker
Yeah, I've got to prove it. And he had two different- like ah He's a living version of that aliens meme of the guy on all those documentaries of like ancient aliens going aliens.
01:08:00
Speaker
Yes. But he's like- they with the hair yeah yeah Yes, he's obsessed with mermaids. He keeps trying to splash Daryl Hannah, but keeps getting the wrong woman. And her husband keeps beating the shit out of him because of it.
01:08:12
Speaker
um He has his arm in that cast that's like connected to his hip with a rod. So it's always sticking out. um It's funny. It's very cartoonish and and silly, but it's it's pretty cute. Yeah. We love eugen that you Eugene Eugene Levy does a great job with what he's given. He does a great job. He was Charlie's favorite part of this entire film.
01:08:31
Speaker
Oh, yeah. He's the most normal person in this movie. Yeah. He actually has like a character arc. Like we see him grow and it's very nice and believable. And it's very like, it should be said a testament to Eugene Lovey's talent.
01:08:48
Speaker
But um Charlie, so one of my favorite moments of watching this with Charlie was um the second time that he splashes water on what he thinks is Daryl Hannah.
01:08:58
Speaker
and it And Charlie goes, oh, it'd be so funny if it's that same woman and her husband. And then it is. And he just like died laughing. And he was like, classic.
01:09:11
Speaker
oh It's the little things that entertain. Audiences in 1984 thought the same thing. so Yes, exactly. it is it's that that's That's funny. There are funny things in this movie, but almost most of them have nothing to do with the central plot.
01:09:24
Speaker
Exactly, which is a little disturbing. But then it should be said that somehow, somehow, Tom Hanks... Goes to president's dinner?
01:09:36
Speaker
Well, hold on, hold on. First, they go to the World Trade Center. First, they go to Windows on the World. And he asks her to marry him. She eats a lobster straight through the shell. um yeah And she says no. And he throws a temper tantrum.
01:09:50
Speaker
He does. He throws a temper tantrum. This is where Caitlin says, not one. This is Caitlin's corner. Caitlin's corner. Caitlin's corner. Caitlin's corner. Not one man deserves a woman, not one.
01:10:04
Speaker
That is Caitlin's I thought you were going to say hetero nonsense. but Basically the same thing. ah Not one man deserves a woman, not one.
01:10:15
Speaker
That's Caitlin's reaction to this. And again, Caitlin watched this movie a thousand times when she was a kid. She was obsessed with this movie just like we were when she was like yeah seven years old. But then rewatching it as an adult with agency, you realize how little agency Madison the mermaid has.
01:10:30
Speaker
With agency? Yeah. God, it's really
Mermaid Marriage and Media Frenzy
01:10:34
Speaker
dire. um ah He talks her into getting married and he's like, we'll get married. and Because he thinks it's an immigration thing, right? He thinks the reason she has to go home in six days is because of our visa.
01:10:44
Speaker
ah little He does not know that she's a mermaid. um But he's he's a real like spoiled little child about it. um And she just forgives him because that's what women do. Because she doesn't know any better.
01:10:57
Speaker
She only knows him. Yeah. Well, I mean, are there mermen in her society? Is it like a and Wonder Woman island thing where it's only women and they have to go get men from the mainland in order to procreate? I mean, she knows to make out with him.
01:11:12
Speaker
I don't know. And she apparently she knows what sex is. Is it human nature to try to kiss? Like if you didn't know what a kiss was, would you still feel the impulse to kiss? Like I feel like we see that a lot in movies and TV shows. And i know that like sex has to be like primal instinct, right? Like having yeah sex. Yeah, that's instinctual.
01:11:32
Speaker
is definitely instinctual. Like people who were like, what people who were like completely cut off from, from culture or society or something would still have sex because that is a, a a natural instinct, but kissing, I don't know if it is. Yeah.
01:11:48
Speaker
I don't think it is. I honestly don't think it is. I think that's something that we as humans have sort of developed over time. And I have thought about it. I've gone on many a ah mental spiral thinking about how weird it is that we kiss.
01:12:02
Speaker
um Like, what is it? It's just touching mouths. Why are we touching mouths? Yeah. You're putting a part of you inside the other person's body, which is the same thing as sex. It's just like a little bit less intrusive. Only if you use tongue, Katie.
01:12:17
Speaker
That's only if you use tongue. And that's apparently only if you're French. Who's not using tongue, Emma?
01:12:25
Speaker
I've had to do many a stage kiss lately and there's no tongue involved. Thank you. Yeah. And that's at stage kisses are an abomination.
01:12:35
Speaker
I mean, it's an actual kiss. It's just on stage. And there's no tongue because it's not necessary. Well, it depends on how close you are to the audience. um ah I'll go ahead and tell Jeremy that. Oh, actually, Jeremy will hear this.
01:12:49
Speaker
Yeah. Number one fan of the pod. um They're talking about getting their blood tests to get married, which is like, yeah, you used to have to do that. You used to have to get a blood test before they would let you get married. To prove that you weren't related. Related. Yeah, yeah.
01:13:04
Speaker
Yes! And then he goes to the dinner with the president who's not and Ronald Reagan, we should say. It's a fictional president. um And I then wrote, I wrote, Levy's still trying to get a woman wet.
01:13:16
Speaker
Yes!
01:13:20
Speaker
He's got this apparatus. He doesn't have foresight to think that he's going to look like a terrorist. or a He's very single-minded. He's all mermaid all the time. He has this big apparatus of like this backpack full of water with a hose on it.
01:13:35
Speaker
um I guess what I think what he's done is he's taken he's taken like the soda gun from the bar of the restaurant, maybe with the tank on it. That's what he's got. Yeah. And he's got like his rain jacket over it. And then the Secret Service are like, yeah, that guy's definitely going to try to assassinate the president.
01:13:51
Speaker
And they take him. Yeah. Daryl Hannah Tom Hanks are outside leaving at the same time because she's like, i got it I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna, do my secret I have to tell you. And he's like, okay. But then Levy gets her with the water and then she turns into a mermaid in front of everyone and the media finds out and it's whole thing. It's weird slow motion thing and it's a whole thing. And she's like laying there screaming for Alan and Alan's just in shock like, what?
01:14:16
Speaker
And being a dumb bitch. doesn't do a goddamn thing. He doesn't do a goddamn thing. Yeah. She is obviously in distress and terrified. And he just stands. He's worried about and his feelings because she didn't tell him that she was a fish. Well, get over it. Do write the fish.
01:14:32
Speaker
Exactly. And then um yeah we go immediately to the ah Museum of Natural History. and ah My favorite place in New York.
01:14:44
Speaker
I haven't actually been yet. so i need to You've never been to the Natural History Museum in New York? Oh my God, it's amazing.
Critique of Unethical Experiments
01:14:50
Speaker
It's the best. Not in recent years. um yeah Not since I moved to the East Coast. ah Maybe when I was a child. I do not remember. yeah I've been to the Met.
01:14:59
Speaker
I remember going to the Met. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But yeah, apparently the basement has a CIA ah like testing center.
01:15:11
Speaker
I think what it's supposed to have had i think what's what's happened is that the government is just guarding this guy's research. I think that's what they're trying to imply. Because, first of all, the American Museum of Natural History would never kidnap a sentient being and perform tests and eventually a dissection on her. They go full ET with this shit. They kidnap both of them.
01:15:31
Speaker
Sovereign citizen of the United States put into a black site in the American Museum of Natural History. AMNH would never. It's selling the good name of the American Museum of Natural History.
01:15:43
Speaker
Get out of here, Ron Howard. As a former member of the American Museum of Natural History, I'd like to register a complaint. um Make sure to ah write them a letter. Yeah.
01:15:55
Speaker
He says, i am not a fish in a big tank because they're trying to get him to into a merman,
Rom-Com Car Chase and Underwater Escape
01:16:00
Speaker
too. he's covering his junk. Yeah. They bring her in and she's like, you said you'd understand.
01:16:06
Speaker
Which like, he did. Yeah. He did say he'd understand. did. But he's and liar. said he would understand no matter what your secret is. Yes, he is a liar. And it makes you immediately get mad at Tom Hanks, which you might think you could never do.
01:16:18
Speaker
I was angry at Tom Hanks the whole movie. Yeah.
01:16:24
Speaker
I didn't think it was possible for him to play to play a worse villain than he does in You've Got Mail, but this may be worse. It's hard to say. I was charmed in You've Got Mail.
01:16:35
Speaker
I was not charmed by Alan. Alan's on my shit list. um He finds Eugene Levy and he and John Candy and Eugene Levy, because Eugene Levy feels bad. Like, he's like, what do you mean you're going to dissect her?
01:16:49
Speaker
And he's like, this is a, she's a, she's a person. and And the, like, eyebrows, as I called him, his, like, the doctor who is, um but his his boss is like, why don't you go find a unicorn? He says unicorn, weird. Yeah.
01:17:04
Speaker
I felt like I needed to get called out. Right, but to which I immediately screamed at the TV, he's the one that found the fucking mermaid. Yeah, you didn't believe him. eyebrows.
01:17:16
Speaker
So if he finds a unicorn, and or if anyone to find a unicorn, it would be him. That's true. um Tom Hanks and Eugene Levy and John Candy break in there. They sneak Daryl Hannah out and John Candy stays in the tank too because, you know, two people went in, two people have to come out.
01:17:34
Speaker
Yep. Then they drive to the, as we've already said, they drive to the East River. They're getting chased by cops. as a car chase in this movie. um yeah Not often you get a car chase in a rom-com. Yeah. Nope. um And she's like you he's like ah she's like, he's like, you can't stay here. They'll never leave you alone. They know your name. They know my name. They'll they'll find you. And he's she's like, I got to go back. And he's like,
01:17:57
Speaker
Okay, well, she's like, you could come with me. You remember when you were a kid, like, you you were safe in the water because you were with me. And he's like, okay. And they jump in the water. and no no.
01:18:07
Speaker
First, he's like, nah, I'm good. And then he takes a second. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. First, he's like, nah, I'm good. To which you get very mad. And you're like, bitch, what do you have to stay for? John Candy?
01:18:20
Speaker
John Candy, apparently. Apparently. And he's going to run that produce business into the ground without Tom Hanks there. But she's like, yeah, you can never come back. You'll have to come with me and live underwater and eat lobsters with their shells on and eat bugs basically for the rest of your life.
01:18:37
Speaker
Exactly. But he doesn't get the benefit of fins. He does not get fins. Because I thought in my, as when I was a kid, i I could have sworn I remembered him, he turns into a merd man at the end of this. That's what had happened in my in my kid mind.
01:18:51
Speaker
Because they do, like, they swim away. They fight off the divers. They're, like, ripping their air hoses out and stuff. And they swim away. And they swim all the way to, and the credits start coming up. You're like, oh, the movie's over.
01:19:02
Speaker
The movie, like, suddenly ends. It's like, just pop, pop, hang. Oh, it takes a turn. yeah And then no like the camera pans over to like this underwater city and that's it. The end.
01:19:14
Speaker
No explanations. um While being played ah ah under or underneath some ridiculous 80s ballad. Oh yeah. it pure It sounds older than that. It's a very cheesy move song. It sounds like that. That's exactly what it is. Yeah.
01:19:35
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. yeah um But you know that it's it's the ballad that was written for this movie because at the beginning of the movie, at the beginning of the credits, it says, and a song written by.
01:19:47
Speaker
yeah. I don't think I noticed that. So you know that there's going to be a featured song and that is the featured song. um Yeah, this was nominated for best screenplay at the Academy Awards in 1985. It did not win.
01:20:05
Speaker
What lose to? Oh God, maybe? Let's see. I mean, anything is better. Katie Googles the Oscars.

01:21:26
Speaker
Amazing. you have any other thoughts, feelings, questions, opinions? I think that's it. Yeah. What do we got here? Oh, it should be mentioned that ah Tom Hanks' receptionist was struck by
Eccentric Subplot and Movie Conclusion
01:21:40
Speaker
lightning. Uh-huh.
01:21:42
Speaker
And she's wearing bra outside her clothes. And she's getting letters from dead people. Like, just a very minor subplot in this movie. They just sort of glaze over it.
