00:02:06
vustudio608
We just did Twister to start off the 1996 season, and now we're back with Nutty Professor. I realized, like, I try, when then we do the first episode of the season, ah try to go, like, explain what we're doing to people. i mean, it's pretty obvious, right? We're two old white guys talking about movies, but i also like the
00:02:20
Jeff
Right.
00:02:21
vustudio608
some of the goofy shit we're doing. I'm like, I never, we'd never once, first of all, not one time did we say our names in that episode. I know that everyone listening is not brand new, but the guy with a deep voice ah and no mustache is Jeff.
00:02:33
vustudio608
And the other guy is me, JT.
00:02:34
Jeff
No. Deep voice? I have a deep voice?
00:02:37
vustudio608
Compared to me.
00:02:38
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah.
00:02:41
vustudio608
Were you stared for what you believed? Dude, we've been listening to, i got Wolf watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series. And then I, I showed him a little bit of the Ninja Turtles movie and I, and so he'll just ask for in the car, like T U R T L E power.
00:02:48
Jeff
Yes.
00:02:55
vustudio608
And he's like trying to learn all the words.
00:02:57
Jeff
Oh, those poor Patreon people that heard us rap that.
00:03:01
vustudio608
I know available on Patreon, by the way, if you want to support the arts.
00:03:02
Jeff
If you...
00:03:05
Jeff
Why did we stop doing that? Why did we stop recording
Eddie Murphy in 'Nutty Professor'
00:03:08
Jeff
versions of songs from the movies?
00:03:11
vustudio608
Because it's, it's easier to do movie episodes. We can barely keep up with that.
00:03:15
Jeff
No, I know.
00:03:15
vustudio608
Uh,
00:03:16
Jeff
Oh, man.
00:03:17
vustudio608
Yeah, and also someone on TikTok said this about, I said Bill Pullman's name so many times for Bill Paxton for Twister.
00:03:28
vustudio608
I couldn't get it right.
00:03:29
Jeff
Yeah.
00:03:29
vustudio608
I messed it up so many times. I apologize.
00:03:31
Jeff
I only caught you once. it Who cares?
00:03:35
vustudio608
i I can't get it right.
00:03:36
Jeff
Everybody knows what we're talking about.
00:03:37
vustudio608
I cannot, I can't do it. Anyway, Nutty Professor. i
00:03:41
Jeff
Yeah.
00:03:42
vustudio608
I was thinking when I did my notes that if if it were not for the two dinner scenes, this movie would be horrible to me. Because those were so far and away my favorite parts that they lifted the rest of it.
00:03:55
Jeff
Oh man. All right. So, um, I think we all know I love Eddie Murphy. I really like testosterone filled brash speed talking Eddie Murphy a lot.
00:04:02
vustudio608
Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:08
vustudio608
Buddy love.
00:04:09
Jeff
That's, that's what everybody likes. Um, But man, the whole time I was like, man, JT is going to get in here and be like, that was the best movie. Oh my God. I was crying the whole time. And I was too, but it was for a completely different reason.
00:04:23
Jeff
i was like, God, were they all just fart jokes? I didn't remember. i didn't.
00:04:28
vustudio608
they i read I was reading about it.
00:04:28
Jeff
ah My, my children loved it.
00:04:32
vustudio608
I was going to say, dude, if you know your audience, like you, if you're playing this, yes.
00:04:32
Jeff
Loved it.
00:04:35
Jeff
But they're eight and 13. Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:37
vustudio608
Like fart jokes is I'm going to clear my colon right now. Also, this came out when I was a senior, a junior, sophomore and junior in high school. And we loved the fart jokes too.
00:04:44
Jeff
Yeah.
00:04:46
vustudio608
All of those dinner scenes we were quoting, like we're just shoving each other and giggling and just like, I dropped this in a cracky OS clearance.
00:04:46
Jeff
Yeah, of course.
00:04:54
Jeff
Yeah. um
00:04:54
vustudio608
Like just all of that stuff.
00:04:57
Jeff
I can't believe and do the outtakes were from that scene.
00:05:01
vustudio608
I know.
00:05:02
Jeff
That was if they left the outtakes off, I probably would have lowered the score even more. But since the outtakes were on there.
00:05:09
vustudio608
The funny thing is that Jerry Lewis, who was obviously was in the original version of this from the sixties, he was one of the producers of this one and they offered him a cameo and he said no, because he was like, this movie is just fart jokes.
00:05:10
Jeff
It's good stuff.
00:05:15
Jeff
Yeah.
00:05:23
vustudio608
Uh, and I was like, he's, he's not, he's not,
00:05:23
Jeff
Smart man. Smart man. He did. He executive producer, though. He was there.
00:05:26
vustudio608
Yeah.
Plot and Characters of 'Nutty Professor'
00:05:27
vustudio608
yeah He's not wrong.
00:05:27
Jeff
Yeah.
00:05:28
vustudio608
It was a lot of fart jokes, but yeah, the just dude, give us the synopsis.
00:05:34
Jeff
I was shocked. i didn't remember.
00:05:35
vustudio608
give us the synapsis
00:05:35
Jeff
I didn't remember. didn't A lovable professor invents a weight loss serum that accidentally unleashes his swaggering alter ego, Stefan Urkel, who is way worse than the problem he was trying to fix.
00:05:51
vustudio608
The weird thing is that I was watching this and I was just thinking the whole time about Ozempic. Because I was like...
00:05:56
Jeff
That's literally because Jake was like, so wait, he makes a weight loss drink or what what is this? i was like, yeah, dude, he's working on a Zempick. And he was like, oh, I was like, not really, but really, that's what it is.
00:06:08
vustudio608
Yeah, pretty much. it Takes a little bit longer. In the movie, it's instantaneous. You just drink a little thing and then boom, you're skinny.
00:06:13
Jeff
Right.
00:06:14
vustudio608
But ah the side effects are kind of similar, seems like.
00:06:15
Jeff
Yeah.
00:06:19
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah, except no Olympic face and just is super angry. um The whole time he was getting dressed in the very beginning, I was like, well, like sitting next to the kids, i'm like, well, there's dad getting dressed on screen. Everybody could see. And then they show the screen, one of the old computers that says like, you know, 5'10", 400 pounds. And Jake's like, no, dad, you're taller than that. And you're not that fat yet. I'm like, all right, thanks, son. Appreciate it.
00:06:47
vustudio608
did you ah ah I was gonna say, did you also say that when he was jogging up the steps and his titties were flapping all over the place?
00:06:47
Jeff
I'm not that fat yet.
00:06:54
Jeff
I like that part, that part. And when he's doing the jazzercise thing and they're just going crazy.
00:06:58
vustudio608
The Jazzercise?
00:06:59
Jeff
ah love it.
00:07:00
vustudio608
Me too, man.
00:07:00
Jeff
Rick Baker, you're a genius.
00:07:02
vustudio608
Rick Baker. They said that Rick Baker is the freaking makeup guy who's obviously like we know from Star Wars and stuff.
00:07:07
Jeff
Yeah.
00:07:09
vustudio608
Like the fat suit was not only the normal whatever fat suit like stretchy rubbery material, but like they actually filled it with like water and stuff so that it was like a life like jiggling when he was running and jazzercising.
00:07:16
Jeff
Yeah.
00:07:20
Jeff
Yeah. So it would jiggle.
00:07:22
vustudio608
Yeah, it's genius.
00:07:23
Jeff
You gotta have a jiggle. Oh, that's freaking great. Oh, man.
00:07:28
vustudio608
$54 million dollars budget for this movie million dollar gross it's the sixth biggest movie between
00:07:29
Jeff
Good job, Rick Baker.
00:07:39
vustudio608
the bird cage and ransom
00:07:42
Jeff
Um... I mean, I don't have $54 million dollars I could drop on this so we can make a fart joke movie. But, and I know Eddie Murphy's carrying, ah doing a lot of heavy lifting with his name, but I'm saying that's that's a lot of money to make off fart jokes.
00:07:59
vustudio608
Dude, I i think this is this is strictly a testament to how what the draw of Eddie Murphy is at this point in time.
00:08:05
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:07
vustudio608
It's like, oh, because i like I got in my characters, Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy. like he's Because my favorite parts of the movie is when he's playing five characters.
00:08:15
Jeff
Yeah. But here's the thing, though. he They also try this again with like you know like Norbit and freaking Bowfinger and it doesn't work as well as it does for Nutty Professor.
00:08:25
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:08:29
vustudio608
No.
00:08:31
Jeff

00:08:55
vustudio608
i it It was not that far off the number one spot, which I think is Independence Day.
00:08:55
Jeff
Is it not? like
00:08:58
vustudio608
like Independence Day made like 300. We're real close to this being the biggest movie of the year.
00:09:02
Jeff
Golly.
00:09:02
vustudio608
It's crazy.
00:09:04

00:09:44
Jeff
I know it's a good, I know it's a fat suit. We all know it's Eddie Murphy, but like, it was real. Like even the hands every once in a while, I'd be like, Oh, you could tell he's got something on but dang, sometimes I'm like, wow.
00:09:56
Jeff
Yeah.
00:09:56
vustudio608
The scene when he's doing all the acupuncture and the guy's like, you're still thinking about food? And he's like, mm-hmm. He's put more needles in there. i' was like, that, I can't tell at all that that's not actually Eddie Murphy, except I just know that Eddie Murphy's ripped.
00:10:04
Jeff

00:10:08
Jeff
The part that he's at the end when he's got like the one diabetic hand and he's like beating himself up and they're fighting and it's like half him and half Sherman, half Buddy Love.

00:13:12
vustudio608
I mean, i kind of already said it, dude. Just the family dinner scenes saved the whole movie for me. They're so much better than the stuff around it.
00:13:17
Jeff
Yeah.
00:13:19
vustudio608
I liked it. I enjoyed it. It's 90 minutes. It's a tight 90 minutes. It's got a great soundtrack.
00:13:23
Jeff
Yeah, it was fast. Yeah. yeah
00:13:25
vustudio608
Really good cast, but I gave it a six. Six out of ten. Six chimmy dogs.
00:13:29
Jeff
Six. Nice, nice, nice. um
00:13:32
vustudio608
Yeah, the the family dinner scenes I would give a nine, but there was a lot of other movie there that was kind of weird. Yeah.
00:13:37
Jeff
There was there was other stuff that wasn't the movie. Dude, as much as I love Chappelle. And as much as I love Eddie Murphy, even those scenes, I was just like, what the hell is going on?
00:13:49
Jeff
I don't want, can we go back to the dinner scene? Like I, I was shocked at how much I didn't like the rest of the movie. I gave it a five and a half.
00:14:00
vustudio608
Yeah. Nice.
00:14:02
Jeff
Cause it was funny, but not like I remember. And I don't think I like fart jokes as much. Now are farts funny? 100%. Yeah. one hundred percent um
00:14:12
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:14:13
Jeff
Like, and don't know.
00:14:13
vustudio608
Dude, um I really liked all the Chappelle stuff because I had forgotten how many of the quotes I used to say came from that bit. Like all the Your Mama jokes is like, I don't know whether a smile or kick a field goal.
00:14:21
Jeff
Yeah. Right. Dude, that I remember hearing incessantly. Anybody with a gap tooth got that.
00:14:29
vustudio608
and And even like, even like the women be shopping.
00:14:31
Jeff
Yeah.
00:14:33
vustudio608
got in like, i still hear comedians make fun of that. That's like the, that's like the, we're making fun of how bad comics do like that's straight up from this movie.
00:14:40
Jeff
Yeah, they're talking about the trope. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And dude, the teeth that Chappelle had in were ridiculous.
00:14:49
vustudio608
Dude. Those are the, those are the stray hand originals.
00:14:50
Jeff
Ridiculous.
00:14:54
Jeff
He, having his t-shirt tucked into the underwear and the underwear pulled up extra high and the pants sagging super low and him just being over the top.
00:14:59
vustudio608
Yeah. Yeah.
00:15:04
Jeff
I don't know, dude. i It was ridiculous. All of it was so ridiculous.
00:15:07
vustudio608
Yeah, dude.
00:15:08
Jeff
It was...
00:15:08
vustudio608
It's completely ridiculous.
00:15:09
Jeff
And I know it's a movie and that's what they were going for. But golly, I just at some point, and ah kids die and laughing. Never heard any of these jokes before.
00:15:17
vustudio608
Well,
00:15:19
Jeff
Just cackling.
00:15:20
vustudio608
Even the opening, dude, the the credits, all of the freaking hamsters escape and they're running all over the campus. There's like 9 million of them.
00:15:26
Jeff
Yeah.
00:15:27
vustudio608
One of them gets launched into a lady's mouth. I kind of think that happened in the Jerry Lewis original because I did see that as a kid, but I don't remember it.
00:15:29
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah, it's not.
00:15:36
Jeff
i I didn't like the the the guinea pig thing in the beginning, and Cece absolutely loved it. She was like, it got shot out of the blower, and it went into her sandwich.

00:16:40
Jeff
Yeah, why wouldn't it be?
00:16:42
vustudio608
You can't listen, and you listeners should do this.
00:16:42
Jeff
Oh, God.
00:16:45
vustudio608
You can go on YouTube and watch just the family dinner scenes, and they are delightful.
00:16:48
Jeff
Just, yeah. Yeah, it's like we always talk about for SNL. You don't have to sit through the whole thing now. Just the parts that people say are funny.
00:16:55
vustudio608
Oh, my God. Like, there was shit that I was remembering that was cracking me up.
00:16:56
Jeff
Yeah.
00:16:59
vustudio608
Like, I'll cleanse my colon right now.
00:17:00
Jeff
Yeah.
00:17:01
vustudio608
It's like, you you'll walk over, but you'll limp back. Come on, Clarence.
00:17:03
Jeff
You live back. I ain't no easy.
00:17:04
vustudio608
but
00:17:06
Jeff
ain't no easy.
00:17:07
vustudio608
so Let me just get my gun put this old bird out of a misery.
00:17:08
Jeff
dude
00:17:10
vustudio608
it Come on, Clarence. ah But then there was shit that I'd totally forgotten that killed me. Like, Mike Douglas used to make me moist. Like...
00:17:17
Jeff
dude i definitely remember that because as soon as they said that i bust out
Eddie Murphy's Improvisation Skills
00:17:23
Jeff
laughing and of course cc's like what does he mean moist i was like all right um dude i'm telling you that's the part he's like he's only white man ever did that to me mike douglas that's right uh dude i that's one of my quotes i put that shit in there because it is hilarious
00:17:39
vustudio608
Oh my God, the granny dude was killing me.
00:17:42
Jeff
Cause she just kept going like her story.
00:17:42
vustudio608
ah
00:17:45
Jeff
It's all right to have relations. I mean, that's sometimes you're going to get a, you won't get somebody bring you some flowers, show me a nice time. I'm going to have relations on dude.
00:17:53
vustudio608
that's the ah That's the second family dinner. I got that in my scenes as well.
00:17:55
Jeff
Yeah, yeah. Dude, it's that's because those, you're right. That's what I had. I had that one and I put, that wasn't my first one, but I did have that one. And I put that this is the movie's comedic engine.
00:18:09
Jeff
This is what keeps the funniness going.
00:18:11
vustudio608
Yo, dude.
00:18:12
Jeff
If they don't keep going back to that, people are turning it off.
00:18:15
vustudio608
Yeah, no doubt.
00:18:16
Jeff
um The first one that I actually had is when buddy love first shows up and he's just running around yelling how thin he is and he wants spandex and he's freaking, he's like looking down and he's like, can see my deck.
00:18:22
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:18:26
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:18:30
Jeff
And he's like, my deck. And he's just dancing around. And I was like, Hey, Some of those jokes, i was just like, come on, man, this it's too much. But it was like a montage of all these different things that he's always wanted to do. and I threw that in there because it's you can see it's the fast talk.
00:18:46
Jeff
ah Eddie Murphy that everybody's going to like.
00:18:50
vustudio608
i like to that I liked that bit because I just assumed that most of that section was improvised.
00:18:50
Jeff
Here's my.
00:18:56
Jeff
Yeah, they just let him go. Yeah.
00:18:57
vustudio608
Like there were four writers on this movie, but I feel sure there was big chunks, like maybe everything Buddy Love said and everything that the family did at the dinner table was like, Eddie, go.
00:19:07
Jeff
Just ready. Go. Yeah. and So um here's my question. Do you remember that they, when he first shows up, that they say the testosterone is going to be high?
00:19:19
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:19:19
Jeff
Because I don't, I don't remember that part until afterwards. So when he first shows up, he's doing all the spandex stuff, but then he's kind of a douche. And I was like, why is he being a jerk again? I don't remember that part. And then they say the testosterone is also high.
00:19:33
Jeff
I didn't hear it the first time I heard.
00:19:34
vustudio608
Yeah, they don't say it. I don't think they say it initially. They just say it because nobody's there when it happens at first. And then they start like running the tests and it's like all this.
00:19:38
Jeff
Right.
00:19:41
vustudio608
Yes, testosterone is off the charts. I like that. I appreciate about this movie that they just basically say, like, if you have a lot of testosterone, you probably are a terrible person.
00:19:52
vustudio608
Because I agree. Yeah.
00:19:56
Jeff
Dude, they the fact that he is just crass and um just trying to like stick it in whatever, and it's constantly, um that's... I feel like Eddie Murphy probably did make a lot of that Buddy Love stuff up.
00:20:14
Jeff
Because he is just talking, talking, talking.
00:20:15
vustudio608
Yeah, dude.
00:20:17
vustudio608
Well, I mean, the people who wrote this movie, it's like it's it's two writers from SNL who wrote Coming to America and other stuff for Eddie Murphy. It's Tom Shadyak, who's a director, who was writing for Bob Hope when he was in his 20s.
00:20:25
Jeff
Yeah.
00:20:28
vustudio608
And it's ah a guy, Steve Odenkirk, who's written a bunch of movies.
00:20:31
Jeff
Yeah.
00:20:33
vustudio608
That said, if you're writing a comedy for Eddie Murphy, like why am I going to waste time typing shit out on my stupid little computer when I got Eddie Murphy right there?
00:20:41
Jeff
Right. You're just going to, you're, you're giving them an outline and saying, go.
00:20:44
vustudio608
Like I'm just gonna type in brackets, buddy love is very excited to be skinny and let him like go let him cook.
00:20:51
Jeff
Right. got a feeling that when he has to play five different people at a dinner table, you have to set up something, but most of that is just him going to town.
00:20:58
vustudio608
Yeah. Well, dude, that's, I went to go look that up because obviously it's all green skin your screen or i guess blue screen at that point in time.
00:21:00
Jeff
And then they edit it all together.
00:21:06
vustudio608
But I was like, how did they shoot that?
00:21:06
Jeff
Yeah.
00:21:07
vustudio608
I couldn't find any like featurettes or anything, but I did find an article where it talked about, they would just, obviously he could he played everyone at the dinner table except the little kid.
00:21:15
Jeff
The little kid, yeah.
00:21:16
vustudio608
and And Jada Pinkett Smith when she's there at the second dinner table.
00:21:19
Jeff
Right, right.
00:21:19
vustudio608
And he would just do one at a time, but he would have a he would have an earpiece in with audio from the other
Filming the Dinner Scenes
00:21:25
vustudio608
characters that he had done.
00:21:25
Jeff
Oh, nice.
00:21:25
vustudio608
And then he would just react to that. So he just he had to do each one of them more than once. So that must have taken like weeks to do that.
00:21:30
Jeff
Nice.
00:21:33
Jeff
That's awesome. Totally worth it. Do it again.
00:21:36
vustudio608
Totally worth it. Give me the whole movie of that.
00:21:37
Jeff
Let's just have yeah why couldn't it why couldn't you have a 30 minute the clumps at Christmas or something and just have them go back and forth at each other.
00:21:45
vustudio608
I know. I know.
00:21:47
Jeff
Just letting Eddie Murphy wild.
00:21:48
vustudio608
It was <unk> the freaking best. My non-dinner scene that I picked was ah was Buddy Love, Dave Chappelle, only because the stuff they were saying, like the Your Mama jokes and his freaking boxers pulled up over his T-shirt and his teeth and then women be shopping and like like just making jokes about the white guy's got a tiny pecker.
00:21:51
Jeff
Yeah.
00:22:05
vustudio608
like All of the like insult comic trope shit and the Your Mama jokes.
00:22:12
Jeff
Oh, Jesus, I can't.
00:22:12
vustudio608
And I was like, God, this is cracking.
00:22:13
Jeff
I don't know why it just made me laugh when you said pecker.
00:22:14
vustudio608
This is...
00:22:17
vustudio608
Dude, like the whole thing was, it was such a perfect stereotype of shitty comedy and I kind of loved it. Also, I completely forgot that Montel Jordan was in there performing This Is How We Do It live in the club.
00:22:24
Jeff
Oh,
00:22:27
Jeff
Oh, man. Yeah, as soon as CC heard that, she's like, oh, this is a good movie. i was like, oh, this one makes it good.
00:22:35
vustudio608
Well, I mean, you want to talk about the Russell Simmons connection?
00:22:37
Jeff
Oh, man.
00:22:39
Jeff
Yeah, yeah. I don't know the Russell Simmons connection. What is the Russell Simmons?
00:22:43
vustudio608
Russell Simmons of of Def Jam was one of the producers of this movie because he was the one who pitched the idea that they redo it with a black lead.
00:22:51
Jeff
Oh, nice.
00:22:53
vustudio608
So that's why he's he's credited as one of the producers of this movie because he was the he was the the guy the guy, I guess. I don't know if he told Jerry Lewis or told someone who knew Jerry Lewis, but ah Brian Grazer and Russell Simmons are producers, and Russell Simmons, who's Def Jam Records, is like, you should do Naughty Professor with a black guy.
00:23:02
Jeff
Yeah.
00:23:04
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah. um Yeah, I saw that the producer was Brian Grazer.
00:23:15
Jeff
We talked about him in a a few movies so far.
00:23:17
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:23:18
Jeff
He's he's awesome. um the I didn't know the Russell Simmons connection. That's cool.
Eddie Murphy's Career and Influence
00:23:24
vustudio608
Yeah. And so the soundtrack comes out on Def Jam and like tops the R&B charts and goes platinum. So
00:23:29
Jeff
Yeah, dude, you heard last night the As Yet song.
00:23:33
vustudio608
yeah.
00:23:33
Jeff
It's a Babyface and our boy Merv. Huh?
00:23:36
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:23:36
Jeff
Didn't Merv write that one with him?
00:23:38
vustudio608
Oh, did he?
00:23:38
Jeff
Isn't that who did that?
00:23:39
vustudio608
That's a good
00:23:39
Jeff
I think he was ah produced that one. Isn't that what he said in the thing? Isn't As Yet the... That's... um Yeah, Merv.
00:23:47
vustudio608
Producers, Babyface, Mervyn Warren. Shout out friend of the podcast, Mervyn Warren, who we had on for Sister Act 2.
00:23:50
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:23:55
vustudio608
Yeah. Babyface wrote it, but Mervyn Warren and Babyface produced it.
00:23:58
Jeff
he He produced it. He produced it. Yeah. Yeah. I remember when we we said, he said something about Mark, uh, Mark Nelson.
00:24:01
vustudio608
Nice.
00:24:05
Jeff
And, uh, that's when we talked about, dude, that's frigging great.
00:24:05
vustudio608
Nice.
00:24:08
Jeff
Yeah. The soundtrack's actually kind of good. I got that, got that Monica song.
00:24:11
vustudio608
Yeah, dude. Soundtrack's great.
00:24:14
Jeff
Uh, yeah, I, I used to, I didn't have the soundtrack big and had And I remember the, just Eddie Murphy in the fat suit smiling on the cover.
00:24:23
vustudio608
Yes.
00:24:23
Jeff
Um, but I didn't, I didn't have it. Um,
00:24:27
vustudio608
Yeah, what's your what's your next? My third scene is the other dinner scene. What's your next one?
00:24:30
Jeff
yeah Yeah, I had Buddy Love. I had the family dinner scene that the first one. um I didn't put the second one because I wanted to put the roast on there when he goes back as Buddy Love and starts roasting Chappelle back.
00:24:46
vustudio608
Yeah, that's the one that I had.
00:24:46
Jeff
Because I don't know whether to smile or kick a field goal and all of that.
00:24:50
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:24:51
Jeff
The only thing I didn't remember is when he was like over the top laughing, where he's like falling over the back of the booth.
00:24:51
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:24:56
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:24:58
Jeff
ah Like I, that was weird part to me.
00:25:01
vustudio608
I didn't remember him going up on stage and fist fighting the comedian and Dave Chappelle doing in the frickin'
00:25:04
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah. And you saw, dude, you saw who he's named at. So Chappelle's name in the movie is Dean. No, is Reggie Warrington.
00:25:15
vustudio608
Reggie something. Reggie Warrington.
00:25:17
Jeff
Reggie Warrington. And he's named after Reginald and Warrington Hudlin, the people who worked on Boomerang. They were the brothers that directed Boomerang.
00:25:24
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:25:26
Jeff
So they threw, they threw them in there too. That dude, i don't remember him fighting either and throwing them in the piano and, doing all that, but, you know, I mean,
00:25:36
vustudio608
Yeah. I did. I might've just, I might've just fired up the DVD, gone to the family dinner scenes and then, and then pieced out of this movie once I owned it. I don't remember, but yeah, that's, I got that scene at the second dinner scene as well.
00:25:46
Jeff
there's no reason not to. Yeah.
00:25:49
vustudio608
That's the one where the, he brings over Jada Smith, Jada Pinkett, I guess at this point in time, it's like, you chairman having relations.
00:25:54
Jeff
Yeah.
00:25:56
vustudio608
I love to have relations. I used to go out to a movie with a man. We have nice dinner, i have a nice time, come back home, have relations. I even have relations with myself.
00:26:05
Jeff
Dude, the whole time that And then the, when he's playing Sherman and he's got the knife up to his wrists and he's holding the knife and he's staring at all of them, trying to get him to shut up, but they won't.
00:26:18
Jeff
It's freaking great. And then the brother that's sitting next to him wearing the hoodie. Did you see in the outtakes at the end that Jada Pinkett cannot even control herself because she's like, you should hear the stuff Eddie's telling me over here in my ear. I can't, I'm not. And she's laughing and ruining every take. I do. There's no way I could work with Eddie Murphy.
00:26:37
Jeff
I would break every time.
00:26:38
vustudio608
No, there's no chance. That's, got I mean, I didn't go too deep into Jada Pinkett's filmography, but I have to imagine that's one of the tougher things she's ever had to do is sit at the dinner table while five Eddie Murphy's crack jokes for like three weeks.
00:26:40
Jeff
Every time.
00:26:52
vustudio608
Also, honest to God, this is the first time in my life, 1996, 15 or 16 years old, that I ever heard someone use the term relations and I've never forgotten it.
00:26:54
Jeff
Oh, man.
00:27:07
Jeff
Oh, having relations. Um, I don't know if it's because I just watched this.
00:27:10
vustudio608
Because we used to say, like, we used to joke, like, I even i have relations with myself.
00:27:16
Jeff
Uh, and then the birth, the brother turns around. That's what I'm talking nothing wrong with that. Um, I don't know if it's because I just watched this, but I'm doing this thing about the history of geographical history of American music.
00:27:27
Jeff
And when I played Al Green, I was like, yeah, you know, you see, you turn down the lights a little bit, get a glass of wine. Maybe it leads to some relations you never even know. And none of the kids laugh. So maybe they don't know what relations means either, um which is crazy to me.
00:27:39
vustudio608
I do that. Maybe it's just a funny way to talk about having sex.
00:27:42
Jeff
You're right.
00:27:42
vustudio608
I don't know. But, and dude, the fricking Eddie Murphy is the dad's talking to Jada Pinkett, Chicago, I was working on Scott's raping Chicago. When came blew my sandwich off a building in the crazy, you are fat ass.
00:27:54
vustudio608
We'll remember a sandwich. getting blowed All of that. i wish I could do it better justice, but I cannot. And it's on YouTube and you should watch those two scenes.
00:28:01
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah. Those two scenes with the outtakes is totally worth it, but that's it.
00:28:08
vustudio608
right, but let's do quote quotes. What's your first quote?
00:28:11
Jeff
a Hercules, Hercules, Hercules. um Dude, there's no way I didn't say that a thousand times.
00:28:16
vustudio608
Yeah, same.
00:28:21
vustudio608
Yeah, same.
00:28:22
Jeff
and the And the kid's got his arms up.
00:28:25
vustudio608
Dude, it's just freaking chubby arms. He's the only one at the table not played by Eddie Murphy. ah like I had his name a second ago. What's his?
00:28:33
Jeff
yeah
00:28:33
vustudio608
Jamal something. Jamal Mixon and Eddie Murphy's mom just clapping, Hercules, Hercules, yo, you're so strong, baby.
00:28:37
Jeff
yeah he yeah he's a twin his brother's an actor
00:28:45
Jeff
Uh, he does a great job acting like her. Like you could, I mean, I know it's Eddie Murphy because I know it's Eddie Murphy, but I don't know that my kids understood that that was Eddie Murphy.
00:28:49
vustudio608
Yes.
00:28:56
Jeff
Jake probably did, but CC might've not known that that was all the same person. You know what saying?
00:29:01
vustudio608
So the the dad the dad and the brother, you can tell are Eddie Murphy, but the mom and the grandmother, the makeup is so good and his acting is so good.
00:29:01
Jeff
Like that's how good the makeup was.
00:29:08
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:10
vustudio608
i um I'm i'm so like squinting. I'm like, i know it's Eddie Murphy, but I can't see him in there.
00:29:17
Jeff
Yeah, it's crazy. It's really good makeup.
00:29:23
vustudio608
Yeah, that's my first scene as well. I mean, my first ah quote. My second one is the one we just talked about is the the granny saying, y'all having relations? Because that shit never didn't make me laugh.
00:29:35
Jeff
I did. Yeah. I didn't put relations in there. I should have though, because I definitely said that recently. um Yeah. My second one's, I don't know whether a smile or kick a field goal. We said that one too. Cause dude, anybody with a gap tooth got that from people for at least a couple of years after this movie came out.
00:29:52
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:29:53
Jeff
feel bad. i feel bad for people that can't, can't fix that. Cause they definitely heard it. Yeah.
00:30:02
Jeff
I actually have four on mine. I just realized I put four. I wrote down four when I did it.
00:30:10
vustudio608
My third quote is, again, from the family dinner scene, again, from the grandma.
00:30:15
Jeff
Oh, no, you froze up. I don't see or hear you.
00:30:16
vustudio608
I can't do, she's just, she killed me. clai She's holding the butter knife. She clans, I dropped this in the crack of your ass. I used to say that all the time and I don't even know why.
00:30:38
vustudio608
dude, wait, so hit me with your third quote.
00:30:40
Jeff
Oh yeah, third quote is the Mike Luggs is the only white man ever made me moist. ah um is
00:30:46
vustudio608
I don't know, I was not, dude, I wasn't ready for that one and it, freaking, I've laughed out loud.
00:30:51
Jeff
When he's like, he's like, I, when I watched his show, I would get, I admitted I got moist when I watched his show. I only white man ever did that to me was, was Mike Douglas. Um, that is, that's some comedy right there. Cause Mike Douglas doesn't do that to anybody ever.
00:31:07
Jeff
Um, so that that's, that's fantastic. Um,
00:31:13
vustudio608
I also liked, it wasn't funny, but I just liked that they were talking about, because I remember this being a big topic of conversation in the 90s, was like Oprah's weight. Like you'd just be sitting around the table and people, like grownups would be talking about Oprah's weight.
00:31:22
Jeff
Yeah.
00:31:25
vustudio608
Did she gain weight or lose weight?
00:31:25
Jeff
Yeah.
00:31:26
vustudio608
And I love that they had that as part of the dinner scene.
00:31:29
Jeff
Yeah. I think...
00:31:30
vustudio608
And Luther Vandross too. I remember Skinny Luther kind of tripping me up a little bit.
00:31:32
Jeff
it's yeah I don't like skinny Luther. I had that conversation not that long ago either. I'm a fat Luther kind of guy. i don't i like big Luther. But... um Dude, you're right. Oprah, her poor Oprah.
00:31:46
Jeff
i I mean, I know she's drying her eyes with 50s, wiping up her tears, but I'm saying like poor Oprah, everybody was literally just, oh, she lost weight. How'd she do that? Oh, she cut back on this and exercise.
00:31:58
Jeff
No, no, no, she didn't. Just like, I mean, it's the same thing that people are going through now with Olympic.
00:32:00
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:32:03
Jeff
Like what's her name? All about the bass. She's not all about the bass anymore.
00:32:07
vustudio608
yeah
00:32:08
Jeff
She's frigging. it's just two like butter knives sticking out the bottom of her skirt now. It's freaking gross. I don't.
00:32:15
vustudio608
Just gotta run around the shower to get wet. i I don't care if people are fat or skinny and whether they have to take drugs to do it or whatever.
00:32:19
Jeff
but Right. Yeah.
00:32:24
vustudio608
ah i do like how all of the body positivity, Hollywood people, as soon as there was a drug they could take that made them skinny, abandoned that immediately and said, fuck all that. And then deleted all the pictures off their Instagram where they were chubby and now have only skinny, ozempic face pictures.
00:32:38
Jeff
Yeah.
00:32:39
vustudio608
It's like, do you?
00:32:40
Jeff
Yeah, that's whatever they want.
00:32:41
vustudio608
I i don't, whatever.
00:32:42
Jeff
Yeah, whatever they want.
00:32:44
vustudio608
I'm here in the regular world where some people are fat, some people are skinny. It's fine.
00:32:47
Jeff
Yeah, it takes all kinds of people. Don't you understand? Some of us is fat. Some of us is little. Dude, I did have a fourth quote. Mine was from Cletus. where he's du he's at the ball at the end and he's picking up the finger foods and he's complaining to the wife about how there there's not enough.
00:32:59
vustudio608
Yes.
00:33:05
Jeff
you supposed to get full off this? This ain't enough food. Look how tiny this is. Oh, they're finger foods and I love finger foods. I got a finger for them. And I'll, dude, every time I go someplace that has finger foods and I like, I'll ask Kat, I'm like, hey, what kind of stuff they're going to have to eat there?
00:33:22
Jeff
And she's like i don't know, finger foods, finger foods. I got a finger for them. And every time she's just like, yeah, that's really great. Good job. um So, yeah, I had to throw that in there.
00:33:32
vustudio608
this is This is a real, I'm glad you picked that. And that's a real issue because I also don't like when we go somewhere and it's in the dinnertime window and somebody will say like in the text message or they'll tell Winnie like, yeah, we'll have some food.
00:33:41
Jeff
No, that's stupid.
00:33:45
vustudio608
And I'm like, let's be specific. What the fuck is some food? Like if you got like a bowl of almonds, I need to know that because I'm going to have something before I come over.
00:33:51
Jeff
No. No, it's two pieces of white bread with some cucumbers in the middle. It's the cucumber sandwich. It goes great with the the tea that they're serving.
00:34:02
vustudio608
ah
00:34:02
Jeff
Mount.
00:34:03
vustudio608
Yeah, i want i want i want i want to have a menu.
00:34:03
Jeff
Yeah.
00:34:06
vustudio608
Yeah,
00:34:06
Jeff
Even if they're like, oh, yeah, it's going to be hors d'oeuvres, but it's heavy hors d'oeuvres. Even that is sometimes sketchy. And I'm always like, what does that mean?
00:34:14
vustudio608
yeah yeah, I'm like, maybe I'll just bring my my special recipe spinach and artichoke chip, where instead of spinach, I use sausage, and instead of artichoke, I use cheese.
00:34:24
Jeff
ah Ah, man. That stuff is still delicious.
00:34:29
vustudio608
It'll help you cleanse your colon for sure.
00:34:32
Jeff
It'll help you do something down there. um Yeah.
00:34:35
vustudio608
Who's your first character?
00:34:37
Jeff
My first character is the Klump family, played by Eddie Murphy.
00:34:41
vustudio608
Man, the freaking Eddie Murphy.
00:34:44
Jeff
um I didn't... So, like, I put... um
00:34:48
vustudio608
He played seven characters in this movie.
00:34:50
Jeff
Right.
00:34:50
vustudio608
Yes.
00:34:50
Jeff
And I don't... Of all all the characters he plays, I like the shy, chubby Sherman Clump character the best.
00:34:59
vustudio608
Yes.
00:34:59
Jeff
But Buddy Love is a close second, and I didn't know which one to put, so I just put both of them. um
00:35:05
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:35:06
Jeff
yeah Confidence without empathy that he has. for he has He doesn't care about anybody's... feelings. He's super manic.
00:35:18
Jeff
He's a narcissist. It's fantastic. it that's
00:35:22
vustudio608
Also, I'm being real, man.
00:35:22
Jeff
He plays it so well.
00:35:24
vustudio608
Eddie Murphy has never won an award for acting, and I'm not saying that like he's he's been snubbed, but if you watch the clump dinner scene, you can't tell it's him.
00:35:29
Jeff
Yeah.
00:35:35
Jeff
Yeah.
00:35:35
vustudio608
That's some good acting.
00:35:36
Jeff
Yeah.
00:35:36
vustudio608
He's being hilarious, and he's playing his grandmother and his mother and himself and his dad and his brother. That shit is, that's great.
00:35:42
Jeff
Yeah. yeah it's good yeah
00:35:45
vustudio608
The Richard Simmons, I don't like that much, but all the rest of them are fine.
00:35:49
Jeff
Yeah, they didn't name him Richard Simmons, but they, i didn't, what, um why, i guess that that needed to be that, to keep him like trying to lose weight kind of guy that he always watched that.
00:35:52
vustudio608
no
00:36:04
Jeff
But yeah, i didn't like that guy either.
00:36:05
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:36:06
Jeff
I like the guy either.
00:36:07
vustudio608
No. But dude, we've we've done this before with Eddie Murphy, but I think it's worth doing again because I think we did it on um Patreon when we did Coming to America. And also, it's freaking, it's absolutely astounding.
00:36:18
vustudio608
So Eddie Murphy's born in 1961.
00:36:20
Jeff
Yeah.
00:36:20
vustudio608
He's on SNL in 1980. He's 19.
00:36:23
Jeff
Yeah.
00:36:23
vustudio608
By the time he's 23, he's done four seasons of SNL, 48 hours, Trading Places, and Beverly Hills Cop.
00:36:29
Jeff
Man.
00:36:30
vustudio608
He's also done his first stand-up special, Delirious, by then.
00:36:33
Jeff
Yeah.
00:36:34
vustudio608
Then he does his second special, Eddie Murphy Raw. He does it at Madison Square Garden, and because of how good Delirious was and how famous Eddie Murphy was, they released Raw theatrically, and it grossed $50 million, dollars making it the 26th biggest movie of 1987.
00:36:46
Jeff
Jeez.
00:36:50
vustudio608
It's right behind Spaceballs, and it's ahead of like Princess Bride, Adventures in Babysitting, Wall Street, Hoosiers.
00:36:55
Jeff
man
00:36:56
vustudio608
He's 26 by then. He still hasn't done at that point, Coming to America, Boomerang, Nutty Professors, Shrek, Mulan, any of the shit, I Spy.
00:37:06
Jeff
yeah yeah yeah yeah he um i mean he did make some stinkers too
00:37:07
vustudio608
he's still He's still got like a whole career left that most people would be thrilled with.
Supporting Actors in 'Nutty Professor'
00:37:17
Jeff
um but yeah yeah he's super funny
00:37:17
vustudio608
Absolutely. He definitely did, but I'm saying like by 23, the amount of stuff he got accomplished is mind-blowing. Like he's he's one of the best SNL performers ever by age 23, and he's done 48 Hours, Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, and Delirious.
00:37:29
Jeff
yeah
00:37:34
Jeff
That's crazy. That's crazy.
00:37:36
vustudio608
it's it's And that's why even still when you look at Eddie Murphy and you're like, like oh, dude, he's like in his early 30s when he did this. Like he's always so much younger than you think he is because he was famous when he was a teenager.
00:37:45
Jeff
Yeah.
00:37:48
Jeff
Right. Yeah. God.
00:37:51
vustudio608
Who's your second character?
00:37:52
Jeff
My second character is Dean Richmond played by Larry Miller because he is the perfect just
00:37:59
vustudio608
My guy, man.
00:38:04
Jeff
institutional coward. He kills it. He there, I'm telling you, if you need a Dean and he needs to be a smug jerk or a dad that needs to make sure his teenager knows what it feels like to be pregnant before she goes out, you need Larry Miller.
00:38:23
Jeff
He's, he's great.
00:38:25
vustudio608
and know what they're doing out there. Don't think I don't know.
00:38:26
Jeff
Yeah.
00:38:27
vustudio608
yeah I know what's dope, what's whack, what's straight up booty. he I can't wait. I think 10 Things I Hate About You is my favorite performance of his, but dude, he every time I see Larry Miller, i'm like, Larry Miller, hell yes, I love that guy.
00:38:39
Jeff
God, he's, yeah, he's super funny. um I don't, he doesn't play the same person in every movie, but he plays the same type of guy.
00:38:50
vustudio608
No.
00:38:51
Jeff
And I like that. um There was one with
00:38:54
vustudio608
And we did, this is the, dude, what are we, this is the second movie that we've done where he's a dean, because he a dean in Necessary Roughness.
00:39:01
Jeff
necessary reference. Yeah. What's, um,
00:39:04
vustudio608
he's also sui He's also a dean last year in a television movie, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, with Kirk Cameron, which we did not we did not do.
00:39:10
Jeff
Nice. Yeah, we skipped that one. um
00:39:14
vustudio608
And, like, I'm looking at, if you look at his roles, like,
00:39:19
Jeff
They're all like principals and deans.
00:39:19
vustudio608
Dean, Dean, professor, chief, Dean, Dean, mayor, state judge, IRS inspector, reverend.
00:39:21
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah.
00:39:26
vustudio608
Like this, I'm just going, I'm straight i'm not skipping anything.
00:39:26
Jeff
Yeah. He played...
00:39:29
vustudio608
I'm going straight down.
00:39:30
Jeff
what did he He played like a reverend or a minister or something in the movie with Jason Lee. Remember where she's like, come on, we need to find my underwear. He's like, can I just mail them to you? She's like, yes, please. They're my only pair. What what movie was that? um Where he's going to marry Selma Blair, but instead he's he likes Julia Stiles and a guy thing.
00:39:51
vustudio608
A guy thing.
00:39:53
Jeff
He's in that and he's like the minister and he's hilarious in that.
00:39:59
vustudio608
Yeah, Minister Ferris.
00:40:00
Jeff
Yeah. Minister. Freaking funny.
00:40:04
vustudio608
he yeah He made my bonus characters because I put Eddie Murphy in there twice, but yes, I love Larry Miller.
00:40:10
Jeff
I like some Larry Miller. So who's your other character? That's not Eddie Murphy.
00:40:13
vustudio608
My second one was Jada ah jada Pinkett.
00:40:15
Jeff
Jada Pinkett. Yeah.
00:40:16
vustudio608
I thought she's really good. She's in a lot of this movie and it doesn't make any sense for her to be attracted to 400 pound professor clump, but then also want to fuck buddy love, but then tell professor clump about it.
00:40:25
Jeff
Right.
00:40:30
vustudio608
Like the, the characters written makes no sense, but I thought she was really believable. And like, I mean, she kind of like glues the whole thing together.
00:40:37
Jeff
Yeah.
00:40:37
vustudio608
And, uh, And yeah, I wanted to recognize that. Also, she turned down another movie that her new boyfriend, Will Smith, had asked her to do, Independence Day, because she was booked to do this.
00:40:49
Jeff
Oh, that's.
00:40:50
vustudio608
So one way or another, she was going to be in one of the biggest movies of this year.
00:40:52
Jeff
Yeah. um Well, that's crazy. I didn't know she was going to be in that.
00:40:57
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:40:58
Jeff
Yeah. She's in a few movies this year. She's in set it off too. I don't know if we're gonna do that one yet.
00:41:04
vustudio608
Set it off.
00:41:05
Jeff
We haven't decided, but that's yeah.
00:41:05
vustudio608
It's in the maybe pile.
00:41:07
Jeff
It's in the maybe pile. um She was also in a around this time. i don't know if it was before or after this. She was in a tales from the crypt movie ah that I used to really like, and I don't know why i liked it because it was weird.
00:41:23
Jeff
um but it was good. It was, I don't know, something about blood or something. I don't know. It was good though. It was a, it was a tales from the crypt movie. There was only a couple of those that came out in the nineties, but she was in it. um Is she, ah is she cray cray?
00:41:44
vustudio608
ah Yes.
00:41:47
Jeff
and There's so many people that keep talking about how crazy she is and I don't,
00:41:52
vustudio608
ah Dude, I just, like, i don't know, man. Like, I heard a podcast with ah Gwyneth Paltrow talking to...
00:41:58
Jeff
Yeah.
00:41:59
vustudio608
um
00:42:01
Jeff
She's kind of great, great too.
Cultural Impact and Legacy
00:42:03
vustudio608
And like, dude, she seems very sweet, but also like every third thing she said, I was like, why did they, why did the host just laugh and say like, that's so true? and I was like, that shit is absolutely ludicrous.
00:42:13
Jeff
Yeah.
00:42:14
vustudio608
I just think if you're that famous and all your friends are that famous, you're probably always going to be, how could you not be crazy?
00:42:19
Jeff
Yeah, because everybody...
00:42:19
vustudio608
There's no one in your life to be like, what the fuck are you talking about?
00:42:21
Jeff
Yeah. Nobody's going to stop her from taking her. What was the thing that Gwyneth Paltrow had? She had like a candle that said it smelled like her JJ.
00:42:32
Jeff
Like, I don't like who thought that was a good idea and greenlit that.
00:42:33
vustudio608
Yes.
00:42:36
vustudio608
And Gwyneth Paltrow said in this conversation with Amy Poehler, like three times, she was like, you know, I was just in there doing the research about bone broth and stuff. was like, bitch, you were not doing, typing bone broth into Google is not doing research.
00:42:48
vustudio608
You can't, that's not how research works.
00:42:51
Jeff
That is not how research works.
00:42:52
vustudio608
I mean, I know that's what everyone thinks. Like, I did my research, give me the ivermectin. But like, that's not what research is.
00:42:56
Jeff
Yeah.
00:42:59
vustudio608
We should stop saying that.
00:43:01
Jeff
Yeah, that that is different.
00:43:01
vustudio608
That's not.
00:43:02
Jeff
um She knows a lot of stuff, though, because you could take this jade egg and also stick it.
00:43:03
vustudio608
That's not the way that that works.
00:43:07
Jeff
There's a lot of stuff with her vagina, id feel like.
00:43:10
vustudio608
she She's made lots of money ah selling things that have to do with her vagina and power to her, I guess.
00:43:14
Jeff
Yeah.
00:43:15
vustudio608
I'm not mad at her. She seems very sweet, but I'm just like... Your parents were famous. You grew up famous. You've been famous for a long time.
00:43:21
Jeff
Nepo baby. Yeah.
00:43:23
vustudio608
How could you not be weird? I don't, I mean, you know what I mean?
00:43:25
Jeff
Yeah.
00:43:26
vustudio608
Like I know plenty of people who are almost as weird and it's just because they're dumb. Like that famous people have no, there's no guardrails because no one's gonna be like, you can't go, you can't say that out loud to people.
00:43:31
Jeff
Yeah. You
00:43:37
Jeff
can't do that. Yeah. Because everybody's. Yeah. Yes, man.
00:43:41
vustudio608
But yeah, but she's very good in this movie.
00:43:41
Jeff
Yeah.
00:43:43
vustudio608
Jada Smith, Jada Pinkett, shout out and shout out Larry Miller.
00:43:45
Jeff
Jada Pinkett Smith. Yeah, I had her too. That was my that was my third person was Jada Pinkett Smith.
00:43:49
vustudio608
Nice.
00:43:50
Jeff
Because Eddie Murphy would have filled up the whole thing.
00:43:54
vustudio608
Yeah, dude. Seven characters and at least five of them I thought were really good.
00:43:57
Jeff
Yeah.
00:43:57
vustudio608
um ah Writer, directors.

Jeff
Yeah, the director, Shadrach and Meshach and Abednego.

Okay. i don't know what that means. And he gets out and he's like trying to get the spider off and his lights, his shoes on fire. Cause he steps on the matches and his, he puts his feet out and the next scene they're walking to this place and his feet are still smoking. And the guy behind the counter is like, you must be fast.
00:45:54
Jeff
Dude burned into my mouth. Never ever forget that dude. It's so great.
00:45:59
vustudio608
There's like three or four Martin Lawrence movies from the late 90s that probably aren't that good and probably didn't make that much money that I cannot wait to talk about.
00:46:07
Jeff
Yeah, dude. It's just tell those guys you have a large cat in your pants.
00:46:09
vustudio608
Like Blue Streak. Blue Streak is my jam.
00:46:12
Jeff
the
00:46:13
vustudio608
said guys Sometimes you gotta to feel a little speedy to your ride, you know what I mean?
00:46:18
Jeff
He's ugly. He can't read good.
00:46:20
vustudio608
And then he said I was ugly and I can't read good. Chappelle.
00:46:22
Jeff
um yeah that's chapelle isn't it that does that part yeah chapelle um yeah that guy that guy's a good writer
00:46:25
vustudio608
Chappelle.
00:46:28
vustudio608
Yeah, and then the other two the other two writers for this are Barry Blaustein and David Sheffield, who are snl and an SNL writing team who wrote Coming to America and like a bunch of stuff for Eddie Murphy.
00:46:37
Jeff
yeah yeah daddy murphy stuff yeah yeah i remember those guys and yeah
00:46:40
vustudio608
And then, obviously, they said that Eddie Murphy improvised a bunch. So that's a that's a lot of cooks in the kitchen, but ah maybe why this movie is not that is's not as funny as it probably could be.
00:46:50
Jeff
Right.
Makeup and Effects by Rick Baker
00:46:51
Jeff
Yeah. You just have the one person. Maybe they should have brought in a Joss Whedon to punch up some of the jokes and have him
00:46:57
vustudio608
They made $274 million. dollars i think they're probably fine with it.
00:46:59
Jeff
They don't care. They don't care. Yeah, they're fine. We should definitely mention Rick Baker one more again because Eve.
00:47:06
vustudio608
Yeah, wait, real quick on Tom Shadiak, because I was trying to figure out, like what I'm like, what?
00:47:07
Jeff
Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:47:09
vustudio608
like, what was he doing? He did a bunch of movies, and he kind of took a break, in like and then i I'd forgotten this, but we did it when we talked about East Ventura.
00:47:12
Jeff
Yeah.
00:47:15
vustudio608
He like got in a car wreck and like had ah some kind of like mild brain damage and had like post-concussion syndrome and then stopped, and now has like become this...
00:47:20
Jeff
like Like a concussion something. Yeah, yeah.
00:47:24
vustudio608
like guy who is searching for the meaning of life like made a documentary called I am where he talked to a bunch of religious people about like the meaning of life and and I now I think the last thing I saw that he was doing was teaching um film at the University of Memphis was like oh shit that dude's like not that far away but I i don't think he's teaching at the moment but he was teaching as of a couple years ago but yeah like interesting pivot for him
00:47:42
Jeff
Nice.
00:47:47
Jeff
That's awesome. I, um,
00:47:51
Jeff

00:47:56
vustudio608
But yeah, get to people some Rick Baker.

Jeff
ah
00:47:59
vustudio608
No relation to Anita.
00:48:00
Jeff
No, but you, Anita, some Rick Baker on your movies because he kills it. Think about a movie in the 90s that has like ah aliens or monsters.
00:48:07
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:48:12
Jeff
he And you liked it? He probably did it. a bunch of those Batman, Batman's Batman's Batman's movies.

Jeff
Captain EO and frigging coming to America and gremlins and the rocketeer and men in black, nutty professor, the Batman's is is X-Men.
00:48:40
vustudio608
Yeah. I mean, Star Wars, he's like ah he's a second unit makeup person on Star Wars, so he's not like the person responsible for Star Wars, but he he goes back that far.
00:48:45
Jeff

00:48:49
Jeff
Yeah. um The newer Planet of the Apes movies, The Ring, Hellboy, Men in Black 2. He's killing it.
00:48:58
vustudio608
Wild Wild West.
00:48:59
Jeff
Wild Wild West.
00:49:02
Jeff
Can't wait to do that one.
00:49:02
vustudio608
I love Wild Wild West.
00:49:03
Jeff
Dude, I can't.
00:49:04
vustudio608
any Anytime I can get that in there, I like to...
00:49:07
Jeff
Oh, man. I like it, too. I can't wait.
00:49:10
vustudio608
Let's get some shut ass.
00:49:11
Jeff
Yeah. Every time I go, it's Louisiana. So the amount of times I get to go outside and go, it is a breath of fresh ass out here.
00:49:19
vustudio608
A breast of fresh air.
00:49:19
Jeff
I say it as many times. It's some shut ass. Oh man, that's, I love that movie.
00:49:30
Jeff
What is that? 99? Oh man, we're not going to make it.
00:49:32
vustudio608
Yeah. Somewhere like that. Coming up, coming up fast. You'll be fine.
00:49:37
Jeff
Yeah.
00:49:38
vustudio608
You got any more, got any more good?
00:49:40
Jeff
On the bottom, I said I mentioned the soundtrack and I wanted to also mention James Coburn. I like that guy.
00:49:51
Jeff
He plays.
00:49:51
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:49:51
Jeff
He didn't play like the the tough guy is too much in this. He didn't have to. But like, I
Comedic Legacy of 'Nutty Professor'
00:49:58
Jeff
like that guy.
00:49:58
vustudio608
No.
00:49:58
Jeff
He plays like he I knew it was James Coburn, but he plays it so well. Like I thought he did a good job. So want to throw that out.
00:50:06
vustudio608
it wasn't It wasn't that big of a part. He was the ah donor like that he he that had to was gonna him all the money.
00:50:09
Jeff
The wealthy donor. Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:13
vustudio608
What did we do him in um recently? Sister Act Two, Maverick, Maverick.
00:50:18
Jeff
Sister Act two, he was, yeah, and Sister Act two in Maverick of what I remember.
00:50:23
vustudio608
Yeah. Man, I love that guy.
00:50:25
Jeff
Yeah, he's good. But he's got the, he's got the crooked hands because his hands are all getting old.
00:50:27
vustudio608
Yeah, man. So,
00:50:32
Jeff
That's, I love that guy.
00:50:32
vustudio608
yeah. Worst, the only worst that I had was that Jerry Lewis, he was ah executive producer and a consultant on both of these movies. But then he said later on in his, I think maybe his autobiography, that later on he he he said like, he's like, Eddie Murphy is great.
00:50:49
vustudio608
He's like, but I wish in retrospect I hadn't done those movies because the movie that I did originally was perfect and now this I've just kind of like muddied the waters.
00:50:58
Jeff
Right now it's not the same. I don't know why you don't like lowbrow fart jokes constantly.
00:51:01
vustudio608
So I'm kind of sucks that the guy who's like,
00:51:06
vustudio608
They made a bunch of money.
00:51:06
Jeff
but it but excessive Yeah.
00:51:08
vustudio608
Fart jokes pay the bills.
00:51:09
Jeff
Yeah. Apparently boobs and fart jokes are all about all about that dude. I have Rick Baker's thing still pulled up. Excuse me at the very bottom.
00:51:19
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:51:20
Jeff
I didn't realize it. Tropic Thunder. He does makeup designer for Mr. Downey Jr. So he's the guy who makes Robert Downey Jr.
00:51:26
vustudio608
What you mean, you people?
00:51:28
Jeff
look like that. you we What do you mean, you people?
00:51:30
vustudio608
What do you mean, you people?
00:51:32
Jeff
Oh, God. We're definitely not going to make it for that, but I love that movie.
00:51:36
vustudio608
No, dude. Well, I saw that one of the, I think the ah the actual black guy in Tropic Thunder said that that Downey did that movie like method when he was in character. So he was doing that shit between takes. And he was like he was like, so when you saw me get annoyed with him on camera, that wasn't acting. I was really annoyed with him because he would never not do that the whole time we were shooting.
00:51:57
Jeff
Oh, that's freaking great.
00:51:59
vustudio608
Yeah, it's great.
00:51:59
Jeff
Yeah. Right. Yeah.
00:52:00
vustudio608
I don't have any worse for, I mean, it's, this movie's corny and there's a lot of fart jokes and there's a lot of inappropriate.
00:52:04
Jeff
yeah
00:52:05
vustudio608
It's just, i mean, the whole thing's making fun of fat people. Like you want to risk your life to not be fat?
00:52:07
Jeff
right
00:52:09
vustudio608
Absolutely do that.
00:52:10
Jeff
yeah
00:52:10
vustudio608
But I don't, I don't, I mean, as a fat guy, i don't care that much about that. That doesn't really hurt my feelings.
00:52:15
Jeff
Yeah, it doesn't hurt my feelings either. Body shaming isn't that big of a thing. But um being around younger people at school, I know that fat shaming is a thing and body shaming is a thing.
00:52:30
Jeff
And I know that it's ah it's out there.
00:52:30
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:52:34
Jeff
ah Does this do a better job at fixing that? Is this teaching us a lesson that it's okay to be like that?
00:52:40
vustudio608
It's supposed it's supposed to at the end, he's like, I'm just going be the size I am. Like he eventually makes peace with himself.
00:52:46
Jeff
He's played by Forrest Gump.
00:52:47
vustudio608
There's a little further. Jed A.
00:52:55
Jeff
Jaday, I took the serum, Jenny. Lost some weight. um Yeah, dude. um Also the giant Sherman King Kong sequence where he farts and you could just see the waves of grass of the gas as it comes out and people are like holding on the lamp poles.
00:53:08
vustudio608
I forgot about that.
00:53:14
Jeff
Yeah.
00:53:15
vustudio608
The best part of the of that dream sequence where he's the King Kong size is when he reaches through the window to Jada Pinkett and then reaches past her to grab the turkey leg.
00:53:23
Jeff
And he's like, a tiny little turkey leg because he's so huge. um Yeah, dude. And like old tech, I had some stuff on there, like the big 90s tubes and beakers and stuff like that. But like, I don't. i
00:53:39
vustudio608
Wait, have beakers improved since the 90s?
00:53:41
Jeff
Well, no, but I know. But like when they do it, like.
00:53:43
vustudio608
Are they digital now?
00:53:44
Jeff
No, now people are like doing the little suction thing and putting it into the little tubes. And that wasn't a thing to put into the the centrifuge.
00:53:50
vustudio608
Yeah, yeah.
00:53:53
Jeff
Now you have...
00:53:53
vustudio608
That's not the tube or the circle. know what the hell that was.
00:53:56
Jeff
Sometimes lightning is actually attacking the guy. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, and the whole like science will solve your self-esteem.
00:54:06
Jeff
I didn't, I didn't, I could see how they could put all that in the political incorrectness, but it doesn't bother me.
00:54:11
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:54:13
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:54:14
Jeff
I'm fat. Make fun of me if you want.
00:54:16
vustudio608
Yeah, dude.
00:54:16
Jeff
Who cares?
00:54:16
vustudio608
the Five questions. Is it okay for kids? Obviously your kids loved it.
00:54:20
Jeff
Mike, yeah I mean, it's pg thirteen but I'm okay with my daughter hearing him jokingly talk about seeing his dick.
00:54:23
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:54:30
Jeff
But there's tons of sexual innuendos.
00:54:30
vustudio608
Also like, There are sexual innuendoists, but like are you no no like preteen is going Mike Douglas making me moist, and then like understand what that joke is about.
00:54:41
Jeff
Right, right, right.
00:54:41
vustudio608
like It's going to go right past him.
00:54:42
Jeff
Yeah, she asked. She didn't know.
00:54:43
vustudio608
like Dude, that my four-year-old's watching Animaniacs, and I'm like, none of this half of these jokes are not for him at all, but he's not going to know.
00:54:48
Jeff
No, they no, no.
00:54:52
vustudio608
He thinks it's great. He has no idea what they're laughing about.
00:54:53
Jeff
Yeah, that's because the songs are great.
00:54:56
vustudio608
The songs are freaking so good, dude. He just will sing the whole song. um I don't know how he knows all the words. He doesn't understand it, but he will belt that shit.
00:55:04
Jeff
Wait till he learns every single country.
00:55:08
vustudio608
ah that's why That's why I started playing the songs. I like, this kid's going to know the countries and the state capitals, and it's all going to be through Animaniacs.
00:55:14
Jeff
Animaniacs. Yeah.
00:55:16
vustudio608
ah Would it get made if it were pitched now? I mean, I'm ready. I think we're about i think it's due.
00:55:19
Jeff
Yeah. Do it again.
00:55:21
vustudio608
I don't know if you can't, like, I don't know i don't know if politically you can make a movie where it's just like a guy drinks a drink and then gets skinny.
Potential for a Modern Reboot?
00:55:28
Jeff
I think you can. It's, it's in the news every day that they're talking about it. They're trying to bring the price down.
00:55:32
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:55:33
Jeff
um I don't know.
00:55:36
vustudio608
Well, now theyre now it's going to come in pill form.
00:55:36
Jeff
Yeah.
00:55:37
vustudio608
I think Wagovia said they're going to introduce semi-glutide in pill form.
00:55:39
Jeff
Yeah. yeah I think it is in pill form.
00:55:42
vustudio608
And then the day after that, i saw I saw a study that said that it's making people go blind.
00:55:42
Jeff
Uh,
00:55:46
vustudio608
So i was like, this is great. but I'm happy about this timeline.
00:55:48
Jeff
Well, it it doesn't like it doesn't solve it forever, right?
00:55:49
vustudio608
It's all going very well.
00:55:51
Jeff
It just stops it while you're taking it. So as soon as you stop taking it, and if you don't change your habits at all, don't you just get fat again?
00:55:57
vustudio608
I don't, yeah, but I don't know that we know that yet, whether or not you will regain all the weight or whether it will like help you change some habits enough so that they don't pop back up.
00:56:00
Jeff
I don't know. I don't know how this works.
00:56:10
Jeff
Nice. So it's not the blue serum.
00:56:11
vustudio608
Yeah, I don't, I don't know. No, it's not the blue drink.
00:56:14
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah.
00:56:15
vustudio608
ah Movie or TV show? ah I mean, movie for me.
00:56:18
Jeff
It's got, it's gotta be a movie unless it's just going to be a TV show of the of the clumps.
00:56:24
vustudio608
Dude, if there's if somebody wants to suggest a Klumps TV show and Eddie Murphy can just voice it and it's animated like the PJs, I'm in.
00:56:30
Jeff
yeah I don't know if I'd watch it, but I'd might, I'd give it a shot.
00:56:35
vustudio608
Yeah. Who plays the lead?
00:56:36
Jeff
Uh,
00:56:39
Jeff
dude, I don't know. Um,
00:56:41
vustudio608
I don't either, man. Because it just we um we don't have the same kind of stars, especially in comedy, as we did in the ninety s because comedies just aren't that big. So... Yeah.
00:56:48
Jeff
I started thinking about like Key and Peele though. Like Keegan, Michael Key could play a bunch of different, like on that show, they are in makeup and stuff and they look completely different.
00:56:51
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:56:58
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:56:59
Jeff
I feel like one of those guys could do it. I don't know. Like, do you have him play all the parts again? Or you're saying like, put Keegan, Michael Key in a fat suit and take him out. Or you're saying like one pie, one guy plays one thing and one guy plays another thing.
00:57:15
Jeff
I think it's gotta be the same dude, right? That's what,
00:57:18
vustudio608
Yeah, I mean, I think that would be the real question is if you're going to do this again, are you going to reboot the Eddie Murphy version are you going to reboot 1963 version? because it's not, it's really not the same movie and it's probably a lot easier to redo the Jerry Lewis version.
00:57:30
Jeff
It's not the same. movie
00:57:33
Jeff
I think I don't want reverse into that. And now that we've talked about the Eddie Murphy version, unless it's the dinner scene, I don't really want that redone either.
00:57:37
vustudio608
Yeah.
00:57:45
vustudio608
Yeah. I'm, I think I'm okay with, i I'm kind of on Jerry Lewis's like, we're good with what we got. We don't need to do any more.
00:57:51
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah. So let's not
00:57:53
vustudio608
Also, comedy is a great place to not reuse existing IP and just write new funny movies.
00:57:57
Jeff
new jokes. Yeah.
00:57:57
vustudio608
There's funny shit happening all the time. all Like, we don't have to...
00:58:00
Jeff
Everywhere, right.
00:58:01
vustudio608
You can keep remaking Batman movies. I'm into that. But, like, if it's comedy, just write something else.
00:58:03
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah.
00:58:06
vustudio608
Like, all my favorite comedies of the last 10 years have been completely original concepts.
00:58:10
Jeff
Yeah. Agreed. Agreed.
00:58:12
vustudio608
um Can you still watch and enjoy this in 2026? You can just watch the dinner scenes on YouTube and skip the rest.
00:58:18
Jeff
Yeah. Reinterrate the fact that you could just skip the good stuff the the bad stuff and watch the good stuff. Because his performance is undeniable.
00:58:27
vustudio608
I mean,
00:58:29
Jeff
It's super duper funny.
00:58:31
vustudio608
that that part is incredible. You can, walk I mean, you can, this movie's not streaming anywhere that I saw, but you can rent it, YouTube, Apple TV, all those places.
00:58:36
Jeff
Yeah.
00:58:38
vustudio608
But like, just watch the dinner scenes.
00:58:38
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah.
00:58:40
vustudio608
and if you're like, that's so funny, I got to see the rest. My kids really want to know. That's a good point.
00:58:44
Jeff
Right.
00:58:44
vustudio608
If you have kids between the age of seven and 17, it might be worth it It might be worth a go.
00:58:49
Jeff
Yeah. They're they're probably going to like the fart jokes. But also in addition to that. The other stuff too might, my I don't know. We'll see. You never know.
