Hydration Discussion and Liquid IV Promotion
00:00:00
Speaker
Recently I've been trying to get in better shape by hitting the gym and making better food decisions and all those things that make a person generally healthier, but the most important thing is staying hydrated. Hydration is one of if not the most important things to living a healthier and better life and Liquid IV is your best ticket to achieving that goal. Liquid IV hydrates two times faster than water alone with three times the electrolytes of traditional sports drinks, which is pretty significant.
00:00:26
Speaker
I really enjoy liquid IV because it's easy to take. It's easy to take with you, which makes it super convenient, whether it's after the gym or if I need to pick me up in the morning, after a night out, or just a boost of hydration while I'm at work. Staying hydrated is so much easier for me because of liquid IV and I think you can do the exact same thing for you.
00:00:46
Speaker
Also, if you're worried about the flavors, don't be. They've got strawberry lemonade and lemon-lime, which are some of my favorites, and they are very good, but they got plenty of other flavors, so you'll find something you like for sure.
00:01:00

So if you want to start getting and staying more hydrated, you should try some Liquid IV. Get 20% off when you go to liquidiv.com and use code badmovie at checkout. That's 20% off anything you order when you shop better hydration today using promo code badmovie at liquidiv.com.
Introduction and Podcast Setup
00:01:21

You were like, we should do it. And I was like, yeah, we should definitely do one. And then you were like, I'm actually going to be in town next week or so. And I was like, let's fucking do it.

Speaker
Yeah, it's awesome. So we kind of like kick the can and like we're gonna get to it or whatever Yeah, exactly. This is actually gonna work out like yeah, I was like, can you do Thursday like any time when you're like, you know? And then we can talk about it and let's make it happen week and we get to go Oh, yeah, I forgot that was there Oh, yeah, so we're here we're gonna do it we're gonna talk about a let's say
Polarizing Nature of 'Movie 43'
00:02:36
Speaker
interesting movie yeah really yeah kind of an anomaly of a movie yeah it's it's odd that has a lot of people feel in a lot of different ways about it yeah um a lot of negative ways if you have read on the internet um but i think as you'll hear from myself today uh some some positive things too there are some positive it really is just a a film that makes you go
00:03:05
Speaker
This exists. Yeah, which I think is a neat factor of a film. Yes I remember when it first came out or like I first heard about it. I was like super excited. I was like, oh my god, look at all these people No way you see the trailer like no way like there's no way that's dumb like there's no way this could work and like it kind of does there's moments where you'd see the trailer for it and you'd be like I
00:03:31
Speaker
I feel like I should be hearing more about this because all the names are attached to it. So without further ado, you guys are probably wondering, well, what is this film that they are discussing? What is today's topic and subject? And it is the 2013 film.
00:03:51
Speaker
movie 43 movie 43 and it is It's something again. I can't I don't know what else to say. It's truly something It's um, so to give a little back story on this yeah, I want to tee this up for us So movie 43 was released at the very beginning of 2013 in January
00:04:12
Speaker
This is a film that is the brain child or the brain product of a producer named Charles B. Westler. And I'd have to do a deep dive to see what else he might be attached to. But this is something that I guess he had kind of cooked up in his mind of something he wanted to do that was just absolutely off the wall.
00:04:31
Speaker
And originally, he had a few other people and partners with him writing this idea of creating a newer version of that film, Kentucky Fried Movie. Oh, yeah. Which is something I've always heard about, but I've never seen. It's a little out of my date as far as like, I don't think it's anything we would have grown up on, but a film that is essentially a bunch of shorts put together.
00:04:53
Speaker
Yeah, with really crazy ideas. So they wanted to put together this just absolutely absurd film. And originally it had some other names attached to it like Trey, Matt Stone, Trey Parker from
00:05:09
Speaker
Yeah, from South Park. We're originally some of the writers. And in the initial pitch process, there's like two or three other directing partners who were part of this, and they had some good names attached to it, but they really just could not nail the pitch.
Production and Strategy of 'Movie 43'
00:05:24
Speaker
They were pitching it to different studios. Like, we want to make this absurd film. It's mostly just going to be these shorts. We're going to have a different director for each short. We're going to get these big names attached to it. I like stuff like that when it's like you bring in a different crew and a different director.
00:05:36
Speaker
I like a good anthology style film too. Those are usually always a lot of fun regardless. You know, you don't get bored because everything is just a little segment here and there. It allows for a variety of different acts within the film to exist. So anyways, they
00:05:54
Speaker
kind of pitched his film for a few years and it was not getting anywhere. Trey and Matt fell off. I think some of the other names fell off. But this Charles B. Wester guy was passionate about it and believed in it and pursued and was able to convince, I think the story goes that he met Hugh Jackman at a wedding.
00:06:15
Speaker
and was able to have a great connection with Hugh Jackman and convince Hugh to star in the first short that they were going to film for this project, which I'm sure we'll get to the shorts here in a moment. Very ridiculous set up.
00:06:30
Speaker
was like, that's something I have never done before. It's completely different from all my other roles. I'm down. And they filmed the short with Kate Winslet and Hugh Jackman to pitch to others. And when they had those names attached to it, they started to pick up a little more traction. And Charles also had a strategy of like, I don't care how long this film takes.
00:06:49
Speaker
I'm going to film this movie on the lowest budget with the biggest names I possibly can. Doing just like single day films for like union wages and getting people just to do these roles that are just so absurd and different from things they were normally doing that they agreed to them. Now some people's like agents had a little bit more foresight and some people I think like I don't know George Clooney's name is like mentioned that like they tried to get and they're just like you don't need to do this. They don't do this. Don't do this please.
00:07:15
Speaker
I believe it took four years for them to do and filming all over the place, flying out to New York to film with Richard Gere, all this stuff, but they were successfully able to put together this, like I said earlier, anomaly of a film. So he, I looked at my, it was Charles Wesley, right? Yeah. So he was a producer on Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary, Me, Myself and Irene, Shallow Hal, The Heartbreak Kid, Hall Pass, all before movie 43.
00:07:44
Speaker
Nice. I mean, that's a pretty solid track record. He saw a comedy track record already. He knew comedy chops, that's for sure. Absolutely. Now, the interesting thing about this film is there are two edits of this film. There's what's known as the kind of domestic edit and the international edit.
00:08:02
Speaker
and how you feel about this film really comes down to which edit you saw. Now the shorts are the same in both of the films and some of those are stronger than the others. Some are really funny and some are like really good on paper like you'd really like that's a pretty good idea.
00:08:18
Speaker
and executed okay but at least on paper like pretty funny ideas but it's the in-between and the setups for these films that are the short films that really make you feel one way or the other about it and the original edit I think is the one that is now known as the international edit is the one that
Plot and Reception of 'Movie 43'
00:08:36
Speaker
people
00:08:36
Speaker
Freely hate yeah, I do not like yeah, it is what has garnered I believe that 4% on rotten tomatoes Which we selected this film because we want a real stinker and if you guys look at the reviews for this Which I'm sure we're gonna get to as well. Oh, they're not Choice for they are not kind at all to this film But I think it totally depends on which edit you saw if you saw the original one it kind of takes place in a like
00:09:01
Speaker
suburban household there are some kids who are trying to upload a YouTube video and like the younger brother pranks one of them and Then they're like trying to get back at this brother For his original prank and it just becomes like this super ridiculous. Yeah, they're like very like They're like trying to find
00:09:22
Speaker
Movie 43 like they're trying to find this band movie They're like trying to the like younger brother who they're trying to get back to on a prank is like a super tech Genius little kid who's like able to hack like government agencies and things like that And they're like telling him that this movie exists that will like completely change your life if you see it It's like the ring but in a good way like yeah get to watch this whole film you'll be rewarded with treasures and glory and
00:09:45
Speaker
And so it's just this prank that they're pulling on him. But he starts hacking away and starts pulling up all these clips, which are in, of course, the short films that they're broadcasting the film in both edits. And then somehow links up with, I guess it's supposed to be some sort of Soviet mobster, and then the Japanese mob gets involved. And then they get a message from the future of being like, quit looking for movie 43 if you do. It's going to end the world.
00:10:13
Speaker
It's really, really silly, really, really dumb. It is a little interesting, though, too, because, like, in contrast to the short films, which were all individual directors, and I'm sure individual production shoots based on the fact that it was four years to film, but you've got, like, a short film that's got Halle Berry in it, you've got a short film that's got, you know, Hugh Jackman in it, and to have this, like, in-between with, like, kind of these, like, no names, that feels very just, like,
00:10:42
Speaker
teen Nick Disney channel ask, but trying to be like edgier. I mean, yeah, just the premise of that one sounds not as good as like the, the Dennis Quaid one. You're about to lay out. Now the setup for what became, I guess, the secondary editor of the film that they re-released or should have released in the first place is a much sillier concept and it has bigger names attached to it. Right.
00:11:09
Speaker
much better. It does work much better. Hilarious. It sets up the absurdity of these short films in a way that makes it cohesive, but also not at the same time. Yeah. Because they're not cohesive. It just makes it better. And of course it's like a
00:11:24
Speaker
super at his ends, Dennis Quaid, who is trying to desperately pitch this film. Real quick, can we just talk about his entire outfit and his hair? It's so good. He's got the Bieber, like, 2010 cut, like this swoopy hair. Swoopy hair, jean jacket with the sweatshirt sleeves on it, like black and white striped shirt. He looks like a fucking little 14-year-old emo punk.
00:11:54
Speaker
Like with Bieber hair. But he's playing Dennis Quaid. He's playing himself. He's playing Dennis Quaid who is pitching this movie to Greg Kinnear who's playing... Greg Kinnear who plays like a high up at a studio.
00:12:11
Speaker
And he's pitching these ideas to Greg and he's you know, he's saying this is gonna be this great film. It's gonna be Cross-generational everyone's gonna love it's gonna be a little bit of something for everyone and he doesn't really even know what he's pitching I think it's just he's doing it off the cuff Between scenes are pretty great. I'm a big fan of Greg Knier Yeah, they may like have to go and talk to like
00:12:34
Speaker
I think Dennis Quaid ends up holding Greg Kinnear hostage to try to get the film made. They have to go see the high up at the studio, which is common. Which I had completely forgotten about that part when I was watching it last night. I was like, it's fucking tough. And they're having a meeting with Seth MacFarlane. Seth MacFarlane.
Cast and Style Comparison
00:12:51
Speaker
And then I think Will Sasso plays the security guard. The cast for that in-between film on the secondary edit is a very good cast.
00:13:02
Speaker
You're like, it's Dennis Quaid, Greg Kinnear, Common, Will Sasso, Seth MacFarlane. That's pretty solid. That's awesome. And that one is just even more ridiculous. They have to go see Common when he's holding Greg Kinnear hostage to get the film made. And then Common's like, you can make any film you want. You're an executive. Exactly. Like, yo, you don't have to come in here and ask me every single time.
00:13:25
Speaker
I cheated on your wife and the next day you showed up for work early. Yeah, that had me rolling. He's like talking all his trash to him. And then they like break the fourth wall and it becomes even more ridiculous. I call it like ends up shooting Greg Kinnear and like the bullets hit and then the sound effects are like three seconds later. The fourth act doesn't go off right. Yeah. They like break the fourth wall and they're like in this film supposed to be all about just like short films anyways like let's just like roll the last shot. Yeah, we got one more right like just fucking roll it.
00:13:51
Speaker
And that edit is, like I said, it is very self-aware, very tongue-in-cheek, that it sets up for a pretty fun watch, in my opinion. I love the breaking of the fourth wall. As soon as they're cut, Dennis Quaid is like, can someone give me paper towels? I have such bad swamp ass in these fucking pants.
00:14:07
Speaker
They're self-aware about his outfit at the very end. It's so much better than some kids trying to find some movie online and the people from the future come and stop them from doing it. I'm pretty sure in the kid edit too, they do end up, the world ends and they find this laptop and he's like,
00:14:24
Speaker
go back and erase this protocol and it like teases them that it can. And it's like, you can't do it. You can't reverse all this, but you can watch this short film. You can watch this short film real quick and then we'll be fine. Yeah. Like, nah. Crazy lore behind this whole film. The two edits, the two edits having kind of very...
00:14:43
Speaker
subjective outcomes of like you're gonna feel one way or the other about them absolutely yeah really kind of set this thing up to get uh torn apart by critics to not be treated very kindly by the reviews rough it's rough um but it's true for that uh for that uh backstory because this one definitely needs some backstory it does because like i feel like a lot of people who like hear this like who haven't seen it are going to be like
00:15:09
Speaker
They're gonna be like all these people are in this movie and it's got that back that much hate and stuff and it's like well once you see it you'll kind of understand more because like because of the two edits the two edits is like It's crazy if they just stuck with if they just on the dentist grade one I think I think we could have hit your goal of 51 Know to be the film which was the to be fair the first edit I saw that film. I'm like
00:15:33
Speaker
That's the first. I've only seen that one. I thought I had seen the other one, but I couldn't find it. And I was like, maybe I didn't because I wouldn't have gone digging. You know, I didn't even know there was a second edit to you told me we were talking about. And I was like, they probably swept that under the rug real hard because you said you had to find it like I did. I had to do some searching. I definitely actually rented the same one a couple times. Me too. I did that too. Thank you.
00:15:56
Speaker
Shout out Plex. You had some real long ad runs in between the good content of your films but you provided the bad edit of this film for me for free so shout out Plex. Yeah hell yeah dude everybody use it. Go for it. Alright so we're gonna take a step back real quick and like now that we know what this movie is and how it came to fruition we're gonna go over our
00:16:19
Speaker
I mean, this is just there's no like there's not a lot of like sketch comedy like skit comedy movies. So we're just doing top five comedies. Yeah, it's hard to find a comparison that came to your mind. Like that's what I did. I was like, what are the first thing about it? I had to compare this film to like others, at least in tone. It is similar maybe to like.
00:16:39
Speaker
If you like some of the like scary movies or then there's like the offshoots of like epic movies. There's like a superhero movie one. It kind of has that tonal.
00:16:54
Speaker
What's the one with where they do the 300? Oh, we are Spartans. Meet the Spartans or something like that. Kind of has that total quality or it also has the same feel and energy as like the shorts that they will make for like before or during the MTV Movie Awards.
00:17:13
Speaker
Oh my god, yeah. Like it's one big movie that is just all of those set ups. Yeah, that's just like, as you like, you have to see these skits and it's a whole piece together. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Alright, so what's your top five, top five comedy?
Hosts' Favorite Comedy Films
00:17:26
Speaker
Alright, so top five comedies, that's a big one, right? Yeah. And, you know, there's so many good comedy films, which is a shame because I feel like they've really kind of stopped making a lot of comedies.
00:17:36
Speaker
Yeah, a lot of stuff. It's like dramedy at most. Yeah, I feel like dark comedy, which I love some good dark comedy. Yeah, I was playing a good dark comedy out there these days. Trying to pick more true comedies. Also, it made me reflect and realize like, I think we might have grown up on like, maybe the best time for comedy. Like we had enough of like stuff from the 70s, 80s, 90s. So we got to appreciate. There is plenty of people coming out of the 90s who are still like comedic figures. Oh, yeah. Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey, of course. Yeah.
00:18:04
Speaker
Then we've got like the early 2000s, which some of those comedies like don't age as well Like you go back like oh, I can't laugh at that. Yeah That was fucking hilarious, but now it's like that shouldn't have been funny in the first place like now like anyone's just like afraid to do anything I think there's that one that came with that Jennifer Lawrence one that came out in like the last year and
00:18:27
Speaker
No hard feelings. Other than that, there's been very few. And if they are, they're probably just studio releases on direct-to-streaming. Yeah, there's lots of good comedy shows that are coming out. I was able to think of a bunch of those. Yeah, comedy shows have been good since day one. But movies, you're completely correct about that. I agree.
00:18:46
Speaker
So for my list, instead of kind of coming up with five independent films, I did select five films, but they're more like encompassing of like either a certain director or like a group of actors who commonly make films together. Yeah. So like I've chosen a champion for like each of their camps, if you will. Yeah.
00:19:04
Speaker
But for number five, so real quick. I want to shout out Michael LaPage the you Hand handwritten notes just like my head written notes. Yeah, thank you and Mike were the only two have done handwritten notes Everybody else has got their phone or a tablet or something. Hell yeah, sorry the podcast office saying fellow nerd here, right? Michael LaPage, fuck you, Michael. Just kidding. I love you, Michael. One love, Mike
00:19:27
Speaker
All my oldest friends in the whole world. Oh, yeah, he's a good guy. So anyways, my list starts with number five. I wanted to show off my cool, edgy side. I'm very artsy. I like to think highly of myself when it comes to culture and creative things. But it is what we do in the shadows.
00:19:42
Speaker
Hell yes, dude. I wanted to throw Taika a bone. A big old bone, yes, dude. I think this film perfectly encapsulates that New Zealand dry-wet humor. Oh my god, yes. I just fucking love that movie. Wonderfully charming. Yeah. It also encapsulates the, like...
00:20:00
Speaker
mockumentary style comedy, which I wanted to. I was like trying to think there's like some really good mockumentary style comedies out there, like a big win, Spinal Tap, like The Best in Show. There's one that's like mascots or something. But I really like that. Obviously there is, you know, TV shows set up that style, The Office, Parks and Rec. I love The Mockumentary. Which is a lot better than I thought it was going to be when they first announced it. It's really good. It's fantastic. Final season's coming out soon.
00:20:28
Speaker
And great cast so I that is kind of like the encompassing for kind of that art house style independent number four Being a child of the 90s. I had to pick a Sandler film to put on the list fair
00:20:43
Speaker
And that one was tough, but I think happy Gilmore. Yeah, I would say happy Gilmore's probably There's a lot of good ones and there's a few you could say that I'm like, that's a good choice. Yeah, but Madison's up there Boy, yeah But happy Gilmore's just got so many good components. They're like RP Carl wasn't still er
00:21:02
Speaker
as the nursing home worker, young Julie Bowen, Bob Barker. There's just so many great components to that one. Happy Gilmore is kind of my Sandler placeholder or champion for that. Number three, I wrote two titles because I couldn't pick
00:21:21
Speaker
But this would be for the, uh, for the Rogan camp, if you will. Oh yeah. Pineapple Express. And then I also have 40 year old Virgin. Nice. Okay. Cause I really could not pig. Both of them have so many great, like one liners. Oh yeah. I almost put, I almost put a pineapple express on there because like that one's just so hard. And I was thinking about 41 year old Virgin. I mean, the Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, Seth Rogan. I mean, fantastic lineup there.
00:21:47
Speaker
I also really love Danny McBride in Pineapple Express. He's my favorite part of that film and his lines. This is the tiny gun I used when I was a prostitute. When the montage of them getting ready to go blow up everything. He's fantastic. He doesn't miss for me. Makes me more aerodynamic when I fight. He delivers every line in that movie. It's so fucking dumb.
00:22:14
Speaker
Everything he says in that film, the fact that you think he dies and he comes back to life, you're like, yeah, I lost a lot of blood. Lost a lot of blood. Like laughing about in the diner. So I had to pick a film from them. There's quite a few you can choose from. Yeah, absolutely.
00:22:29
Speaker
Number two, I also wanted to flex the artsy thing again, but I am a ginormous Wes Anderson fan. And I do really, really, really love the dry wit and humor. I like humor that doesn't dumb down itself for the audience. And as pretentious and annoying as it is, be like, I love Wes Anderson and all that. I do really appreciate that wittiness. And so for me, fantastic, Mr. Fox.
00:22:52
Speaker
Dude, Fantastic Mr. Fox is a top contender. Dude, I know people are always like, uh, Life Aquatic, which is incredible, Grand Budapest, which is incredible, but Fantastic Mr. Fox, when it comes to like, just the dry wit humor, just like, going and going and going and going. That's the one that just- The whole like, what the cuss.
00:23:09
Speaker
I think there's just a lot of layers there that it's like one of those like the more you rewatch you like pick up Yeah, I feel like that one's and I appreciate a film that awards you like more times Yeah weird as to say is like this Wes Anderson movies more thought out than the other ones cuz they're all very well thought out I think that one just like hits just like every single and they're all great. I see Jason Swartzman be witty and funny and
00:23:29
Speaker
You know, whether I chose Rushmore or Life Aquatic or Grand Budapest or Midnight Kingdom or, but Fantastic Mr. Fox is my number one for White Sanderson. I completely agree with that. That shit is so good. Beautiful. And then number one for my list of comedies, this is to me just like the comfort food of comedies. I think it just came out at the perfect time when I was probably like 13, 14, the dumbest sense of humor.
00:23:56
Speaker
It's gonna be Step Brothers. I don't know if any film, I mean Anchorman is probably the closest comparison but as far as just like the most quotable film growing up. It's one of those things like if I see it's on TV I'm gonna sit down and watch the rest of it. It is that
00:24:12
Speaker
the most comfortable sweater or whatever have you that makes you feel good. Cold, hot, raining, clear. If it's on, you might as well just watch it. Came out by like 2008, however many years and a half later, I still laugh at it. That will encompass the Farrell camp, the John C. Bradley camp, so walk hard.
00:24:32
Speaker
Talladega Nights and all those films. I love other guys. The other guys is such a good one. That was a sleeper one too. And Adam McKay too, right? Adam McKay is a fantastic comedy director. Fantastic director, but does do the comedy thing pretty well. Hard to create a top five list, but I think as those kind of being the champions for
00:24:52
Speaker
maybe like I said kind of different camps of comedy that that's my list yeah so I appreciate you going and having like a specific reason for why you put every single one on your list I just first five comedies that came to my mind I was like I love these movies every watched these are the ones I've rewatched probably that probably means more I just like these might came to me like these are the ones that came to me these are the ones that I rewatched the most like
00:25:19
Speaker
Um, well, uh, so, uh, and my, I'm not, not any particular order. Um, it's too hard for me to do particular orders when I do these lists. Uh, so just first one that came to my mind, super bad. Yep. Like super bad. So that would be the Joe Dapatas, that Rogan, uh, and stuff like love that he wrote that movie when he was in high school and he was going to play Jonah Hills character. But then he was like, I can't, I'm old now and it's finally happening. And like, but like Jonah Hill and Michael Sarah playing opposite each other in that situation. Like, like.
00:25:48
Speaker
You can't get better than that. Perfect casting. It's, yeah, across the board. Another film with just like so many great one-liners. Oh god. All the right people casted for like the smaller roles and everything. Just like Bill Hader being the other cop. They're being the only cop. So good. Fucking love it.
00:26:08
Speaker
I got one uh one here i love this movie so much hot fuzz dude hot fuzz everybody says shawn of the dead is the best out of the coronado trilogy because it's uh it's shawn of the dead hot fuzz and then the world's in yeah and like there's a everybody kind of agrees that the world's end is like good but like not as good as the other two there's a heavy debate between shawn of the dead and hot fuzz and i am in the hot fuzz camp dude okay i just think it is so much funnier especially because i think it's british comedy right and the way that they're able to
00:26:37
Speaker
do like like a spoof on action movies and still have the most ridiculous gun fights because they don't have guns over there like we do you know what I mean like it's hard to get guns over there it's like so put it in the country where everybody held on to their guns and then we'll just have a 30 minute shootout to like in this movie and it's just like so perfect I think
00:26:57
Speaker
I'm pretty sure so I've seen it but it was like oh dude on Comedy Central when I was in middle school or something like that Give it the give it the proper like like stream Yeah, like watch like so you can just like cuz like I mean it's it's British comedy So there's lots of bad words in it lots
00:27:14
Speaker
Lots of fucks a couple C words in there at like appropriately funny times Maybe Neil mention it on his list for like when y'all are coming up with action comedy It's phenomenal
00:27:30
Speaker
Honestly, just watch all three of them. They're all good. Next one, this is kind of a comfort food for me one. My dad and I are both super big Coen Brothers fans. Big Lebowski. Big Lebowski. We were just talking about No Country for Old Men the other day, and so this one came to mind. It's like, God, Big Lebowski, dude. You just can't, Jeff Bridges, man, the dude, you just can't be the dude. Fucking, oh my God, why am I blank? John Goodman.
00:28:15
Speaker
I can't ever remember the actors name but the guy who plays the Jesus
00:28:20
Speaker
He's got like a spin-off too. Yeah, the Jesus Rolls is the name of the movie. He directed it. It's like their blessing. Make a whole movie about the Jesus and stuff. It's amazing. Special shout out to Oh Brother, We're Art Thou. Love that movie, but I feel that's more...
00:28:38
Speaker
That's more of like an epic, you know, whatever. I agree, right? It's supposed to be like The Odyssey, right? It's based off of a graphic novel of The Odyssey that the Coen Brothers read and really loved. Coen Brothers also have an anthology film, right? Buster Scruggs. Yeah, and you get a...
00:28:55
Speaker
Oh my god, the dude from, oh brother, uh, Delmar, you get Delmar and Russ guys, which is amazing. Um, so yeah, Big Lebowski, huge fucking fan. Tim Blake Nelson. Yeah, that's it. I was like, I know he's like a three part name. Um, and then, uh, this one I watch every single Halloween time. Like I have to, no matter what.
00:29:17
Speaker
Excuse me, Young Frankenstein. Okay. Mel Brooks, man. It's his best one. All of his movies are good, but like Young Frankenstein is just like the whole fucking Dr. Frankenstein bit. It's hilarious. The putting on the ritz. Like dance. Something about a film that I can stand up to time to. Like I was trying to decide if I needed like a like a Monty Python on the list. Yeah, exactly. Or like an airplane on the list. Airplane crossed my mind. I was trying to be a little bit more true to just like
00:29:44
Speaker
You know, I'm 30 years old, born in 1993. So, you know, another one my dad raised me on was like, he's like, oh, you're in this vacation. Is that is it? Oh, yeah. I'm sure all these things deserve to be on it. Oh, yeah. But I'm like, I'm like seven years old. My dad's like, oh, you like spooky shit. You got to watch this movie and like watch it every fucking Halloween. Just the fucking love the story that like so, you know, the part where he's like he's like walk this way and he like uses the cane to get on the steps and then he hands him the cane and he does that.
00:30:14
Speaker
Aerosmith saw the movie, loved that bit, loved the words, walk this way. That's what made the song happen. Wrote the song. Which gets even crazier because then they re-released it with RunDMC, which made a
00:30:29
Speaker
like doing the verses and stuff which made rap into the mainstream pop culture and now we have rap music as like some of the best music that's constantly been coming out for the past 30 years and stuff. Like and like you can argue like Run DMC doing with Aerosmith that at the time like made a bunch of people who had never heard of rap because they weren't in New York or LA at the time. Like what do you mean there's this whole other kind of genre of music? Like everybody knew it at this point which is wild.
00:31:02
Speaker
Thank you, Mel Brooks. We appreciate you. And then finally, this one is always true and due to my heart. Every time Austin and I move, we watch this movie. We order pizza. We like do all the moving. Everybody else that helped us leaves. We order a pizza and I watched the entire movie. Austin watches as much of it as she can before she falls asleep as it were. Had a long day, you know, 21 jump street.
00:31:26
Speaker
Okay, watch it every single time we move into a new house like a new home like we're like, all right We're moving pizza 21 Jump Street and like and then and then we that one's like the next day, you know, I I like that one. That's a good one I've seen the second one. I don't think all the way through but the second one has enough cameos it enough like supporting cast and the second one's great just because they like they at the end credits they do like They get all the way up to like
00:31:55
Speaker
58 Jump Street and it's like doing like here's all the different kind of spin-offs and like at one point Jonah Hill leaves the franchise It gets recast as someone else and then he comes back like 10 movies later to like revitalize it They're like none school like culinary school Jonah Hill Channing Tatum pair up. I think they're a good combo fucking amazing Brie Larson that's in that movie James
00:32:26
Speaker
Rob Riggle yeah plays the stuff like oh my god. Yeah, that one just like it just cracked the Johnny Depp Cameo Like oh you guys are Jump Street. We started on Joe's like that's him and the guy from the TV show like his partner like they're like oh My daughter's just
00:32:45
Speaker
Immediately get just destroyed like it's amazing. I it just I think how you describe is that you put on pizza It's just kind of that feel-good comfort exactly it was just like it's just like all right like like it's for us It's like we're moved in yeah, we'll unpack tomorrow We did it like we're sitting on the floor like it's like couches like our new couches over here We already got rid of the other one We're sitting in lawn chairs in the living room like exactly what we did we moved into this place like amazing
00:33:13
Speaker
Alright, so we both obviously know comedy movies pretty well at this point I would say which makes this movie movie 43 an Interesting an interesting one because you're saying it's
Defending 'Movie 43'
00:33:24
Speaker
good. I am here to argue that film is it's not bad It's not great. It's no work of art, but it does deserve a better score than what rotten tomatoes I'm DB. Yeah 4% is pretty low. I
00:33:40
Speaker
You're pretty hard-pressed to find films with with lower scores. Yeah less than ten is usually an anomaly. Yeah Even with the terrible edit I do think that this film does deserve a better score than that because of the skits because of the skits skits So the skits are all
00:33:57
Speaker
written and directed independently from each other, and there's some pretty decent names attached to some of the sketches. Yeah, look at some good stuff going on. James Gunn directs one of the sketches, Elizabeth Banks directs one of the sketches, she's in a different sketch. Yeah, she acts in one, directs a different one. I think Bob Odenkirk directs one of the sketches, so like some names you guys will recognize, and definitely some actors you recognize. Yeah. And this gets very right, there's some good, some
00:34:22
Speaker
Some don't hit, some hit really good. But some are really good and I definitely laughed out loud to a couple things, but this film deserves at least a 51% rating in my opinion. I think I'm already kind of leaning towards you, but it's hard to do that with looking at the 4% Rotten Tomatoes and the audience 24. It's pretty rough. I guess we don't watch the same film, maybe. Or maybe. The same short films.
00:34:50
Speaker
Yeah, same short films, which is what it's like. That's the meat of it. But this thing is such a one off. The fact that it exists, the fact that you've got all these big names doing these like super absurd, ridiculous things, I think really adds to this. Like, no, this is not going to be nominated for anything. No one is going to be like, that's their best performance. But is this something you can put on on like a Friday or Saturday night with a group of friends? Have you all seen this?
00:35:16
Speaker
Holy crap, buckle up. Oh yeah, have a couple drinks ready to go and just like ride it through. Do whatever makes you feel fun and silly and you're gonna have a good time watching it and you're gonna laugh. And like I said, some of these sketches really do kind of sit with you. They do. I remember when I first watched a film a few years back.
00:35:34
Speaker
the, the Jeremy Allen white in leaf striver, Naomi Watson, like that one sticks with you. Okay. I was like, who is this fucking kid right now? And like, I was like, I know I've seen his face everywhere recently. Yep. That on it. So it's Jeremy Allen white before that blows my fucking mind, but that was who came out before shameless before. Oh yeah. This is definitely pretty young. Yeah. He plays a, he plays a teenage kid, you know, like, um, real quick, uh, IMDB 4.3.
00:36:04
Speaker
Pretty low Metacritic. They're like critic score 18 user 3.2. So we're all we're all
00:36:11
Speaker
Swinging and missing everybody everybody score wise I will say this, you know, we made the comparison earlier To those films that are like the meet the Spartans what have you like based on some of the things I've seen from those films Which I don't know if I've like watched ones who start to finish like they're they're pretty hard. I've seen Like you still get like a short film with like
00:36:34
Speaker
Johnny Knoxville and Sean Williams Scott doing silly shit with Gerard Butler as a leprechaun. The size of the names attached to this and the fact that each short film is no longer than five or six minutes each makes it very digestible and this is silly. Exactly. Before we get into the meat of our conversation, two reviews, good and bad, and then we'll hit it. The good review
00:36:59
Speaker
The one of two says, uh, this is from Michael O'Sullivan for the Washington Post. He said, quote, movie 43 is a near masterpiece of tastelessness. The anthology of 12 short interconnected skits elevates the art form of gross out comedy to a new height. End quote.
00:37:39
Speaker
Um, and then the, uh, the bad review, which again, there was lots of them. Uh, there's lots of those, uh, Richard, uh, Roper for, uh, the Chicago sun times, he said, quote, movie 43 is the citizen cane of awful. End quote.
00:37:51
Speaker
I think that's fair.
00:37:55
Speaker
which like that was there was again a lot of bad ones that one was the one that was just the most like brutal it's like damn dude like yeah citizen canes like quote unquote the best movie ever made and stuff like yeah so they say like and like and you're just so this is the worst movie that's ever been made like I've seen worse movies
00:38:15
Speaker
So I've definitely seen worse movies than this one. Like I think that's where I'm like is 4% the score deserves like I've seen some some pretty trash films that probably have higher ratings that prior more to one that Neil and I did fucking ghosted has a higher rating than 4% and like it's like it's like I think it's like 20 like something like and we both were like
00:38:39
Speaker
By the end of it, you're like, ugh, like, God, like, what a waste of time. I had more fun watching this than I had watching Ghosted. And that's the argument, right? It's like, is this a work art? No. No. Is this a film people are going to talk about because of people's performances, or they did a really great job? No. But are people going to feel like, I'm not upset that I watched it. Like, it's a unique enough thing that I'm like, that exists? That's real? Yeah, exactly. All right. Exactly. All right. So let's just go ahead and get into, can we just get into this first skit? Yeah.
00:39:08
Speaker
favorite part of the entire fucking movie is in the first skit. It's so subtle, but it's so fucking funny. Tea up what the premise of this first skit is for me. All right, so the skit starts and it is Kate Winslet getting ready for a date. Amazing. And set up.
00:39:26
Speaker
for a date through her friends with someone who is a successful entrepreneur or something. Hugh Jackman's character is some sort of notable figure. He's on like magazine covers and things like that. Which I thought was hilarious. He's on the cover of Gotham magazine. So it's like, so this takes place in the Batman universe. Perfect. Oh, this is him on the Gotham universe. That's amazing. I was rolling. I was like, all right. I was like, I remember this skit. This is amazing. Well, that's a fantastic new layer.
00:39:55
Speaker
So they're in the, they're in Gotham. They're going on a date, nice restaurant. And I guess in all of Hugh Jackman's PR, in all of his photo shoots and things like that, he usually dons a scarf. In the picture, he's wearing a turtleneck. The turtleneck, yeah. So you can't see. So it's like the classic Steve Jobs look or whatever. Oh yeah.
00:40:14
Speaker
And it is revealed when they get to the restaurant, and they're actually like comparing scarfs, I think. They're like, it's so nice, all this, whatever. That Hugh Jackman has got a pair of testicles on his neck. And we're just talking like a straight up ball sack hanging on his neck.
00:40:34
Speaker
to which Kate Winslet is horrified. Immediately horrified. Immediately just super off-put, as one might be if you were all of a sudden surprised with someone having a ball neck. And she just cannot keep it together. She is trying to focus on this date. They are talking about their childhood, all sorts of things. All sorts of shit. She starts asking them, you know, like, were you ever bullied or teased for anything when you're located?
00:41:03
Speaker
and i really like mentions at first like something else like yeah kids used to make fun of me a stunner for like the first nine years of his life and she's like okay and then she's like was there like maybe like anything else he's like oh yeah like you're probably talking about my neck right
00:41:19
Speaker
And he's like, yeah, I got like a small scar there and I was a little kid. And he has to lift the testicles up to show like a small, like tiny scar. Yeah, kids used to be so mean. Nonchalant scar. Just like kids are so mean. So they're on this date. Balls are out. They're doing all the tropes that you think they do in a situation like that where like all of a sudden like
00:41:42
Speaker
man is it is it kind of like chilly in here and like they do fun shit where like they bring out like soup like for starters and somehow they like fall into the soup yeah they run into like Hugh Jackman's friends who are like super adamant about like getting a photo of this like first date going on
00:42:06
Speaker
It's just on the forehead. The fact that Hugh Jackman was like, you want me to do what? Have some balls on the neck. Exactly. I'm so glad you mentioned that lore at the beginning. The fact that he that Charles, whatever his last name is, like he pitched.
00:42:23
Speaker
The Hugh Jackman first, the skit, and he was like, fuck yeah. And that's what made the rest of it. This is the skit that made the movie. Without this skit, none of the others would have come about. And it's just so ridiculous, but my favorite thing in the entire movie, it's so subtle and only the boys out there will understand. There's a moment where he scratches his neck testicles and he just sniffs his hand real quick.
00:42:51
Speaker
it's just like you go like scratch scratch like so subtle like mid conversation just like and it's just like I don't need to go into it I don't need to explain it boys you get it like you get the quick check like it's just like so fucking funny because it's so subtle because she's like trying to talk to him and he just it just it's I just think it's so ridiculously funny like I do not know
Sketch Analysis of 'Movie 43'
00:43:15
Speaker
why
00:43:15
Speaker
Something that... He went so hard. He went so hard for it. He did. He didn't have to go that hard and he did. I was trying to like... Because this was the first one filmed. It did take four years to put this film out. That would have been circuit 2008. Hugh Jackman. I'm like, what was he filming at that time? What was he doing? I'm sure like, you know, X-Men was in production. Yeah, like one of the last X-Men probably. Or like the Wolverine stay alone or something.
00:43:42
Speaker
I also love that he orders are like so at this restaurant They're on a date right and clearly Hugh Jackman's character goes to this restaurant often the whole staff knows how they adore it They're like super into him. Here's no one noticed the ball sack on his neck She's like so perplexed that no one is like
00:43:58
Speaker
She keeps aware of this. She's like, yeah, trying to be like, someone affirm with me that you also see this. Like this is happening, right? And they're all just like looking at her like, I have no idea what you're talking about, man. Like, I love the fact that they bring him out like a bottle of vodka, like as in presented, like wine.
00:44:14
Speaker
Yeah, it's just like this is all we'll be happy. He's like, oh, they're like they're like your usual Would you prefer wine and she's like no I need it Like trying to throw it back and he keeps being like cheers to like and stuff and she's like, please just let me take this shot and it's just I I get that it's just like which is funny though because it's like
00:44:36
Speaker
like blind date bad blind date like like i don't know it's like it's it's funny and like it makes sense you know what i mean like it's like it's never been that bad but then we go i don't know have you ever been on a bad date and you're just like there's just that one thing there's just that one thing exactly well that's why i love they were awesome no their family seems great they've got great job they got hobbies but they have they got a ball sack on their neck i'm like i can't do it it's pretty hard to look past we cut back we cut back to uh
00:45:06
Speaker
I go back to Dennis Quaid and the producer, the exec is like, I thought you wanted to make a movie with heart. And he's like, what are you talking about? He's like, this actually happened to a friend of mine. And he's like, no, it did not. And he was like, something similar. And it's like, yeah, like.
00:45:24
Speaker
everybody's had a bad first date like that so like that one like like I get why that was like the right like the first one done like the first one they needed that they had in their mind like you're like we already got Kate Winslow we got Hugh Jackman attached this exactly like that one actually has like like
00:45:39
Speaker
like something behind it like there's something there's it's not just surface level like shock value gross out humor like that one actually like has like stuff like taking a bad date to the extreme like and so i really really really love that one especially just the fucking just like it cuts right back and it's just dude he's just like i want to make a movie with heart he's like what are you talking about like
00:46:03
Speaker
I'm not mistaken like they're kind of talking like what are you talking about? Well, I have nobody of mine something similar. It's like well, like I want to make a film that's like for the whole thing Later when he's like he's like I mean told you about the Oscar knob stuff yet. Oh
00:46:35
Speaker
And oddly enough, I looked up the director, and he hasn't really done too much. And to be honest, I think the funniest sketch in the movie was a surprise. He just has some one-offs here and there. Fucking they only watched it. This one's called Homeschool. And the setup for this one is there are two couples in a living room, and there's a new couple that just moved to the neighborhood. And they're the established couple living there, the family. It's hosting them.
00:46:47
Speaker
I can't remember which one he teased that up with.
00:47:00
Speaker
And they're like, yeah, we actually homeschool our kid. He's upstairs doing homework right now. And they're like, wait, he's homeschooled, but he's doing homework. And they're like, yeah, we actually, in like a very serious tone, like want to give him just the most real authentic high school experience possible.
00:47:18
Speaker
And this is the one with Jeremy Allen White. Jeremy Allen White plays the child. Naomi Watts is the mom. Leave Shriver is the father. And the setup is they are giving him a legitimate high school experience full of all the shame and embarrassment and terrible things that happen common in high school movie tropes.
00:47:38
Speaker
um so like instantly they're just like yeah we want to make sure that he hates his life as much as possible yeah uh he has like the most normal experience at one point she's like she's like the first time he told us he wanted he wanted to die was 12 years old most kids don't get to that level of self-loathing until 15 so we're really proud of him
00:48:09
Speaker
I don't know the order of them that they do but they've got like
00:48:15
Speaker
obviously they're like teasing him and they're like graffiti like they're like kitchen door to call him the Jordans and they're like are walking down the stairs and like smash his books yeah she's like get out of the way fuck face like his mom yeah this is mom uh they're like is the scene where like Lee Shriver like opens up they're like showers like oh you got weird pubes man this guy's got weird pubes there's like all the embarrassment
00:48:44
Speaker
There's like him in class and his like mom gives him back the papers like F like you got to redo this. Got to be written in black ink, not green or black and like calls him like the wrong name. That's not my name. Just like detention. Yeah, like disrespecting me.
00:49:00
Speaker
My favorite, I think one of my favorite ones is the one where they're having the house party. And he like knocks on the door and she like, like his mom answers and was like, yeah, like, and he's like, can I come in please? And she was like, well, Stephanie, like who you asked out is here. And like, it'd just be really awkward if you came in. So like, I think it's going to be a no, like, sorry, you can't come in. He's like dancing up on a girl. And like, then we watch this goes back to like partying and stuff.
00:49:29
Speaker
and he's just standing outside like, like, please don't go to my room with this boy. And then of course, I think the pinnacle of the sketch is then like, and we got to give him like all the most like awkward moments, right? Like the first kiss. Amazing, dude. Just so awkward. I'm just like, like, so and so and so, so I think we should go all the way. But they do the cut with the mom and then they also do the cut with the dad where Lee Shivers like, Hey, don't, don't tell the other fellows, but like,
00:49:59
Speaker
I think you're a cool dude and like I'm not saying I'm into guys, but if I were like you'd be the kind of guy I'm into First first heterosexual experience first homosexual like testing like like seeing what's going on He's just like Jamie Allen White's just dead like there's a reason why my boy got a Golden Globe
00:50:22
Speaker
Like kind of been holding off to give it to him, you know, they've been wanting to from this moment. He looks so incredible in this entire thing. And then all the cuts, they go back to the couple that they're hosting and they're just kind of looking mortified based on what they're hearing of this homeschool experience. And they're like, actually like our son's here, Kevin's here, like you guys want to beat him? He's like, come down soon.
00:50:45
Speaker
And he's like, they're like, hey Kevin, these are the new neighbors. And he just gives us like super charming, delightful. And she's like, oh, you all moved into like the so-and-so's old house. Like welcome to the neighborhood. Yeah, he's lovely. I'm going to go meet up and like do this. I'm going to go on a date. Like I'm going to go on a movie with like Stacy or whatever the fuck.
00:51:02
Speaker
And they're like, will you just be sure to say hello to Stacy for us? At which point Jeremy Allen White's character pulls out this like broomstick doll that has a taped on picture of Naomi Watts face on the doll.
00:51:21
Speaker
I'm sure this exists on YouTube. I'm sure you don't actually have to watch the whole film to see this sketch. But this sketch alone is worth watching. Watch this sketch at least. And the fact that Jeremy Allen White's gone on to be this huge star now, a huge TV star. He's amazing. I know we also saw that Kevin Kline photo shoot like that he did. We all saw that. He did this first. He sure listened to this sketch a couple times too. It's fine.
00:51:44
Speaker
That one that one's just got it was just the the weirdness of all awkwardness Yeah, so we started out with two really really good one some super banger sketches In between I think there's even more of just the Greg Kinnear and Dennis Quaid silliness. Yeah, what is this? Which leads us to the third sketch I
00:52:08
Speaker
which has also got some big names attached to it. This one is called The Proposition and it stars Chris Pratt and his wife at the time, Anna Faris. And this one is all about Anna Faris really wanting Chris Pratt to...
00:52:24
Speaker
poop on her yeah it starts with it starts with a they're like at a picnic and like he's like by himself and he like has the ring out because like he wants to propose yeah like he's gonna propose at this picnic and then she shows up and is like oh i have to ask you something oh i have to ask you something too like like oh no you go first like oh we'll say at the same time and he's like will you marry me and she's like will you poop on me and he's like i'm sorry what
00:52:49
Speaker
like they talk about it and it's like okay I guess they're gonna do it and stuff cuz then we cut to the the grill scene with what he's talking to I think his name is JB smooth yeah
00:53:05
Speaker
I hope that's his real name, but I'm gonna say his acting name like his stage name is JB Smoove and he's just giving him all this advice. Oh, yeah She wants you to poop on her. Here's what you gotta do Yeah has all the home remedies favorite part of like that quick moment of this sketch is like one
00:53:22
Speaker
the quick cut of her she has an apron on that says bless this dump first of all which is amazing and then while he's talking to me he's like i just don't know like why she wants me to shit on him he was like oh uh you know you don't shit
00:53:37
Speaker
on your fiance. He says, I like, I hate to say it, but it's so funny. He says, shitting is something you do to a whore on your fiance. And he's like, okay, damn. Like, because like that ties in. It's a horrible thing. It's a horrible sentence, but in the context of it, it's so fucking funny.
00:53:56
Speaker
Like it's just like he drops a few good one liners and that I had originally had it written down I forget what he likes. It was like a two-shoot dookie like he's just like He's like what are you gonna eat? And he's like like tuna steaks nice salad some red wine. He was like no fuck that
00:54:12
Speaker
It doesn't need to be fancy going in and needs to be fancy coming out and it's like honestly he's right If you're doing this he's not wrong. That conversation ends and like he I think he knew what he was talking about. And he gave him a beat and he was like here you go and he hands him some turbo wax and he's like what the fuck is that and he's like Viagra. For shit.
00:54:33
Speaker
And the guy next to him there's a third guy there the entire time and he's like what the easy you just carry that all the time He's like hell. Yeah, dude. He's like cookouts like grill outs. You just have that and like as the scenes fading away He's like, yeah, I have a problem with meat like me. I need a little help getting it out of my system Like he's he's just so fucking funny like he's like him his lines honestly make that whole skin The whole skin is pretty funny
00:54:58
Speaker
But like at the end of the day, I think it's this is where the gross out Yeah, this is where like really starts getting sure I think cut to yeah, so cut to him Chris Pratt sitting on the toilet shoving bean burritos and salad down his throat The tummy rum here a couple stray farts Like here in there and stuff and he's like, oh god, here we go I guess we're gonna do this and then what does he do right before he leaves the bathroom?
00:55:27
Speaker
He drinks the entire bottle of Turbo Lax. He's like, you know what? I'm going to go ahead and drink some of this. But then he ends up drinking the entire bottle on a stomach full of bean burritos. Bean burritos. He's ready. I appreciate that he got the salad to get some roughage in there. A little fiber. Yeah, exactly. A little fiber. And he's ready. He comes out of the bathroom. He wants to get to it, because he's sweating. He's rumbling. He's prairie dogging. Oh, yeah.
00:55:54
Speaker
And Anna Faris wants it to be a very sweet moment. You know, it's all about that foreplay, right? We can't just go straight to it. Come on, guys. Foreplay's important, guys. Yeah, we got to make sure the conditions are right. And she's like climbing all on top of him. He's like super uncomfortable. Like, no, please. She's like, rub this lotion on my neck. And he's like, OK. And he just like slaps the back of her neck with it. And just like, OK, we're good. Like, please just let me do this. And he's just super uncomfortable. And like, finally, he's just like,
00:56:22
Speaker
come on, please just let me shit on you or whatever. And she's like, whoa, she's super taken back. And that's where we go back to the callback of like, oh no, shitting's what you do on someone that you don't care about, you don't love. The person you love, you poop on. You poop on them.
00:56:39
Speaker
Yeah, she gets offended. She runs out of the house. She's like, super upset. She's like, I can't believe you'd say that. I thought you loved me. I thought this was going to be a special. You're going to be my first time. She runs out to the street. Chris Pratt's like, falling in her like, no babe, come back, come back, or whatever. They're like, literally are out in the street. And then a taxi comes and hates Chris Pratt. And he flies in the air. And with that, poop flies in the air. It's just a ball. Yeah, it's like.
00:57:06
Speaker
All over the windshield, all over the street. It rains poop, uh, splatters are all over. It's a lot. And affairs runs out to Chris Pratt. She's like, oh baby, are you okay? Are you okay? He like pulls out the ring. Uh, they have this beautiful moment. She's like, wait, was all of this for me? You said you create, you made all this for me. It was gonna be for me. He's like, yeah, babe, this was all gonna be for you.
00:57:28
Speaker
Yeah, I guess so. He's like kind of impressed with how much came out of it. Impressive amount. I do love to the way she like turns to the dice guy and she's like
00:57:39
Speaker
Like she's like It's like so very like her like acting I love her. Honestly watching the sketch. It's like man. I did like them together It does make you a little go back and once more like what scary movie again. She's like kind of Dimbo Have you ever seen just friends with Ryan Reynolds? Oh
00:58:04
Speaker
Of course. Yeah, her side and she's like a pop star or whatever. She's so fucking good in that movie. Austin loves that movie. And she finally made me watch it. And I was like, I don't love this movie, but I love her in this movie. And she was like, I'll take it. That's fair. Like, that's good. So that was so that's a skit. That's a skit. And then we cut back to it because I was trying to like keep the pace of it and stuff of like, we cut back to the meeting, we cut back to the exec and he's just like, it's just close up of him. This meeting is over.
00:58:33
Speaker
And he like picks up to call security. He's like, we're done. And it's just so fucking funny, dude. And then we get the revelation. Not only do we get the revelation that the kids sitting next to Dennis Quaid is some busker that he hired 40 bucks to come in there with him because he's like, I'm leaving. Give me 40 bucks. I'll mail it to you. You don't know my address. Just go. We're like freaking out at him.
00:58:58
Speaker
We also learn how he gets inside of the building and the reason. How did you even get this meeting and stuff?
00:59:05
Speaker
Quote, I sucked off the security guard. He's like, excuse me? And he's like, he's like, I didn't know Jerry was gay. He's like, he's not. He's been through a lot today. He's had a big day. He's had a big day, which is, it's just a quick little like, what the fuck is even happening right now? It's just like the, the Dennis Quaid stuff gets more and more chaotic. Saying he blew Will Sasso earlier in the day to get into this meeting. Yeah. It's just like,
00:59:33
Speaker
It just gets more and more chaotic the entire time. This is real. Yeah, this is real. We're not just pitching this to each other. This is a real thing you can watch. And then this is when he pulls out the gun. Yeah. And is like, OK, I'm going to read you the next one. And the next one is... Next one is another.
00:59:50
Speaker
Super really good fucking sketch dude Fucking good. So this one's got two people who have also gone on to just become even more famous One of them might have been equally as famous. She's kind of been a superstar for over a decade now in there for a while Yeah, but Karen Culkin has definitely just
01:00:10
Speaker
Lily just won a Golden Globe. Golden Globe winner, just like Jeremy Allen. We have two award winning, three or four award winning people already. And then Emma Stone, they're in this one together. She's up for Oscar right now. Again. Yeah. Absolutely. So she just won a Golden Globe for the movie. She's up for an Oscar for like boom. It's amazing. Please, please.
01:00:35
Speaker
please describe this one to me. So this one is great. It's called Cinferonica. Cinferonica. And this scene starts with, it is a supermarket and you hear Karen Culkin, who is the associate at the store working the checkout line over the intercom, telling the good people the store about all the specials they have going on. Which the specials are like. The specials are great. There's like a senior special for like,
01:01:01
Speaker
Lambskin condoms All in like as we're as we're doing this all the people in the store are old people. Yeah, they're all old people which is hilarious Like some funny sketches of like a really tall lady like getting down like a box of steel for like real short guy then like Karen Colkin's like
01:01:27
Speaker
Continuing talking about the specialist. He's like we've got a special deal on Vaginal cream. This is cream for your beef like he's just saying And then all of a sudden you see a checkout basket slide in front of Karen Culkin aggressively and they accuse Emma Stone and it is clear that these two have got some sort of pass they have a
01:01:51
Speaker
Yeah, there is tension there. Oh, wild history. There is tension. And I forget what exactly the first line is, but they both start going at it at each other. And you can tell that there's a past. He says like, how's your something pretty nonchalant? I can't remember what it is, but then she's like, how's your HPV? And then he says, it's your HPV. I'm just carrying it for you. He's like, we've already had this debate. Chicken, egg, chicken, egg.
01:02:21
Speaker
But then after they get done yelling at each other
01:02:24
Speaker
And they did. Well, before that, you also realize how's Veronica? She's fine, Veronica. She's fine, Veronica. I can't believe you named your dog Veronica. It was like, I can't believe you sucked off that hobo for magic theme. He was a wizard, Neil. And the entire time the air comes on, everybody in the store can hear this conversation. And then it takes a turn. And then you can tell that's where that tension is. And Karen Colvin's like,
01:02:51
Speaker
I want to be in you. I want to be sticking his finger on you. I want to be all around your chin. And that's where it gets real sexy. It's real sexy. You see her lip quiver. She's like, oh, Neil. Yeah. The way the way they just go from anger to like, like, I want to I want to hit it real bad with you again is like, which is so good. It's some of the best acting in the entire career. Colgan's got like greasy long hair. He looks so bad. He looks great.
01:03:21
Speaker
awful to be honest like and then they're just they're going at it they start making out I'm pretty sure Karen Culkin's like I want to I want to what is it I want to give your vagina I want to give you a hickey on your vagina to which Emma Stone kind of dramatically pulls back for a second to get silent for a second she goes oh Neil you already have and it's kind of like one of those like
01:03:49
Speaker
Like they're like frankly darling. I don't give a damn like all of the wind time moments are like all of a sudden that Tingian's gone and they like call it like like oh, yeah like all of a sudden the one that got away and that my fair part of this whole sketch is they like break away or whatever and she starts walking away and she goes
01:04:08
Speaker
I'll see you at church. He gets super angry and doesn't quite say what he's going to say. But that exchange of that, I'll see you at church and his like, fiery response back. And then he's like, because like, he's like, not if I and he's like,
01:04:29
Speaker
Oh shit, the intercom's on. There's all these old people just standing there watching this whole thing go down. The entire store has been watching this conversation of hot tension going on. Dude, it's honestly some of the most heated tension you could ever see in a movie. Oh yeah. And you got, like, again, if you don't want to watch the entire movie, you gotta watch this. Yeah, this is definitely one of the best sketches. I put it in the top three. Yeah, homeschool, this one. I'm kind of thinking homeschooled, a Hugh Jackman and this one are the best. Yeah.
01:04:56
Speaker
So far we're hitting pretty good. The movie starts great. It takes a lull here in a second. Yeah, we'll get to it. So the whole store is watching, Emma Stone's character is walked out, and then an old man steps up, gets on the mic for the intercom, and is like, guys, I might not be an expert on love.
01:05:14
Speaker
And, but he's like giving this whole spiel, but he's like, but what we witnessed tonight was hot and heavy and true passion. And I know if I was in his shoes, I would do, I think he's like, I would climb over dick mountain. I would climb over dick mountain, open mouth.
01:05:34
Speaker
He gives this motivational speech and he's just like can we help this young man out? Five a.m. So I'll take two to four This cast of characters has been witnessing this speech going on volunteers to cover a shift So he can go out and chase Veronica his love amazing. It's a really great
01:05:58
Speaker
It's definitely one of my it's definitely I think it's the best writing It's the best writing for sure and just like the acting is amazing some of the premises for the other sketches are great But as far as like the one-liners like delivery of lines Yeah, hidden where we wanted to get like this one might be two great actors crushing
01:06:16
Speaker
Like homeschools up there for me too, cause I think they honestly just like Naomi Watson, Leaf Driver, just like the way they bully Jeremy Allen White. The premise of that one is amazing. And I think they hit it, but this one just has a little extra something, you know, that just like... Just both those carriers have this great comedic chemistry with each other and just nail it. Of this kind of like greasy teenage couple that's super chaotic. Oh yeah.
01:06:40
Speaker
It's amazing. So that one's amazing. You got to watch that one at least and then we get a quick cut to a The iBabe. The iBabe. Yeah. Just a quick cut. Just a quick cut of the iBabe. We'll come back to the iBabe. We're gonna come back to it. We kind of get like the commercial cut if you will. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
01:06:56
Speaker
Which the setup for this one is it's a similar thing to like the old classic iPod commercials where you'd have people like dancing around. They'd plug in their little headphones or their wired headphones. But the device instead of an iPod in this is a fully naked woman. Yeah. Yeah. And she has like a little screen on her like an iPod. Yeah. Like a little wheel. A little scroller wheel back in the day with the Fuji iPod. She's got one of those like right around her belly button. Games with the scrolling wheel where you play like
01:07:23
Speaker
breaker. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So you got one of those and little screen, but it's on a completely nude woman and apparently she plays music. It's not a real woman. It's a device for brand music. But it's a life-size, life-size device.
01:07:39
Speaker
they're dancing you see that it's a life-size woman they're dancing and it cuts away and then we're gonna we come back to it yeah we'll get back to it uh then number six is a real silly one this one's really yeah i i do have a i do have something special about this one for me
01:07:58
Speaker
This one's loaded with people. This one is called Superhero Speed Dating. It's just that. It's like take the most like 1960s Adam West silly slapstick style Batman, Robin, all the superheroes and it is like a speed dating set up. But then put 20 like mid aughts to 20 like 2015.
01:08:26
Speaker
vulgar comedy language. For sure. So this one you've got Jason Sudeikis playing Batman, Justin Long playing Robin. Even better. Uma Thurman playing Lois Lane, I believe.
01:08:39
Speaker
It's Bobby Kamal, is that how you say his name? You recognize him, that's who plays Superhero. Superman, yeah. And he's in a bunch of stuff. Oh, he's incredible. He's actually in that movie, The Watcher on the TV show, The Watcher with Naomi Watts. That's like a very serious, like, drama, like, mystery thriller drama. He's great. And he's amazing. I've seen him in. Oh, he's always good. You've got Kristen Bell playing Supergirl. You've got Leslie Bibb playing Wonder Woman. John Hodgman.
01:09:06
Speaker
If you might remember, uh, the PC to Justin Long's Mac is in there playing the penguin. It's that's pretty, pretty solid lineup of people. Who plays the Riddler or is that just some random guy? I looked it up like, yeah, I feel like I didn't get a good look at them. I'm like, this is a person that a lot of people know, but I didn't get like a.
01:09:27
Speaker
a good look at him um i will just say why you're why you're trying to check that out when uh so robin's on the speed date batman shows up and he's like hey there's a bomb here like somebody put a bomb here and stuff he's like i'm just trying to speed date like can i please just do one more and he's like okay bet and it's lowest lane and she's like oh superman and i broke up he was stalking me he was he's like he was i broke up with him and he was fucking stalking me and i was just like sitting in my apartment and there he was outside the window just
01:09:53
Speaker
floating, twirling his little fucking hair curl and masturbating. And he's like, Oh my God. And she's like, she's like, yeah, his jizz is like a shotgun. I broke my window. Like that line. I was just like, what a, what a sentence. It probably wouldn't be that way though. You know, I don't think anybody has ever said that, explored that side of Superman.
01:10:15
Speaker
I don't know because he shows up because like he shows up because the
Financial Success of 'Movie 43'
01:10:19
Speaker
Batman shows up. He's like, oh Lois, what's up? I'm gonna call Superman. And like, so obviously he's like, oh yeah, he's on a date with Robin right now. And he literally zooms out of nowhere. It takes him into the bathroom and like holds him up and he's like, stay away from Lois. And he's like, okay. And he's like, I'm going to beat the shit out of you. I just want to Lois Lois. I can't wait to go, go back to like banging Lois. Like that's like some, some hair gel.
01:10:40
Speaker
in his face. He like slaps it in his face and he's like fuck off leave her alone. That's exactly right. He's like I'm just trying to find love man like Justin Long being Robin on speed dating the entire time was just fucking amazing. So Will Carlo is the name of the guy who played the Riddler. Will Carlo.
01:10:57
Speaker
You know, it doesn't look like he's done stuff that I'm like super familiar with. Fair enough. Everybody else. Oh, he doesn't even speak. Yeah. So I mean, that makes sense. It just turns out, yeah, that supergirl ends up being the Riddler after, after, yeah. Give her, give her, give her, give her tongue, tongue, tongue, tongue, grab her butt, grab her boobies. Do it. I did want to do a little side note on this, though, looking at the IMDB. I did want to say that despite this movie having terrible ratings. Yeah.
01:11:27
Speaker
it was somewhat of a success financially. So because of the way they shot it and the fact that they did it over the course of four years and doing just single day shoots to be able to get these big actors on just smaller union wages, it only had a budget of $6 million. And I think it grossed somewhere around $32.4 million.
01:11:46
Speaker
Wow, I mean like it. Yeah That's a fucking success. Yeah, like that is a hundred percent of success like so I'm sure that you know The the producers and all them were like you guys can care or say or write whatever you want I was doing a little I was trying to find the
01:12:07
Speaker
the other edit because i couldn't find it on anything streaming and i like came across one article that was talking about him and i think i saw a quote from um the from charles that said something along the lines of like i can't remember the exact quote but it was like
01:12:22
Speaker
it was fun we had fun it didn't it made it made our money back and more leave me alone like he's like shoots weren't fun yeah like yeah we're gonna get you do none of this is serious you guys don't have to try to like get the role of your life on me we really just need your name attached to it you're telling a scene
Notable Sketches and Parodies
01:12:43
Speaker
where
01:12:43
Speaker
Robin is on a speed date and all these other heroes come up and Wonder Woman comes up and says, Batman, why didn't you call me when your bat condom broke? Do you know how embarrassing it is to go to the abortion clinic as Wonder Woman by yourself and stuff? And he's just like,
01:12:58
Speaker
Like try to like play it off and like it's what he says Why don't you make me make out with the Riddler you knew it was him the entire time and stuff? He's like, I don't know woke up with a case of the fuck around Just like, you know, like just gonna fuck it around have a good time today like Jason Sudeikis is a bad man. I need an entire movie honestly, yeah, I'm just doing that like him just riffing and
01:13:23
Speaker
just riffing off shit like it's super playful, super fun. And when you have a supporting cast like that, yeah, it's just amazing. It's nothing that's like the best, most hilarious jokes, but it's, you know, you don't, you don't need to make a smile. You're going to watch the movie. You'll enjoy this. You don't need to go out of your way just to watch this one.
01:13:40
Speaker
Yeah. You know what I mean? But it's probably the one that feels the most, I guess, SNL just based on who's in it. It's definitely the most SNL, like the plot, the like how quick it resolves and it's just over and stuff. Like both, you know, again, like some gross out like comedy, like vulgarness of like what they're saying, what they're talking about, like and everything.
01:14:01
Speaker
Oh, then we get another little quick. Another commercial. This one is, I think, really funny. This one I was watching it and I was like, is there more to this? And then the end of that was like, no, this is genius. This one just sounds like a real stupid concept. I'm not going to want my friends to come up with. I swear to God, like two years ago, I forgot I had seen this movie because I saw it like once or twice, like when it first about time it first came out.
01:14:26
Speaker
and then like just again last night and I was like I swear to god I had this idea like two years ago and I'm glad to know I didn't execute it because it's like I would have been completely stealing somebody's idea so the premise for this commercial is it's got a it's shot in black and white it's got a very serious tone the fact that it's in black and white it's like a PSA tone if you will
01:14:48
Speaker
Like, please donate to this, like, this cause kind of thing. Think of, like, what's the Sarah McLaughlin, like, dog ones? Like, yeah. The setup is that it shows a bunch of people getting angry at technology and machines and getting abusive to other machines. And it's reminding people don't be
01:15:13
Speaker
cruel to your machines because they have little kids in there.
01:15:28
Speaker
And that's the one kid putting the paper on his head. So that's the best part is like the commercial is going on for a part. There's a guy getting like really upset like a coffee coffee machine. He's like heating it and then like his friend walks up and you can like see him like tell his friend like in a pissed off tone like what's going on is like brain gets mad for him and starts hitting it and like spits on the machine for him. There's like both of them spitting on it together.
01:15:51
Speaker
Cut to the kid inside of it like putting a sheet of paper over It's like a little girl in the machines here tear going on her cheek. It's just a dumb enough concept It's executed just well when it comes up with like like don't be mean to your machines. There's kids in there It's like donate now at like kids inside like there there are kids inside the machines or something It's real quick it's like it gives you just enough time to be like
01:16:21
Speaker
That like like I did like is there more to this and you're like, all right No, perfect. Like they nailed it. So it felt very like a like crawl show esque. Yes Definitely crawl show. Yeah Definitely. Crawl sure. God, there's some good ones on that one. I need to go back and watch some crawl show to be honest So we get that we get the vending machine So we get the vending machine and then we come back to Dennis Quaid the disk wait stuff and he's like, what do you think about the commercials inside?
01:16:50
Speaker
How do you think like how do you think that's gonna play? And he's just like I don't fucking know man Like I need is I kind of play kidding at this point because he's being held up by a guy and he's like that sounds great Game-changing Then they kind of like banter back and forth and then this is when he's like I have to we have to go to My boss to like if we're gonna like fast-track this we got to go to my boss and like they're walking in the courtyard He's like act normal and he's like if you don't I'm gonna pull the pin on this turns out he's got a fucking
01:17:20
Speaker
Grenade yeah, man, too. He's like he's like I'm ready to go like He's like no, no, no, we're gonna fast-track it like we just have to go to get to my boss and then cut to
01:17:33
Speaker
I believe we go back to iBabe, right? Yeah, iBabe. This is where iBabe... They push it out a little more. Yeah, we can say that. So this is more of the iBabe sketch and the premise of this one is it kind of like cuts from the commercial to a board meeting. Like they're watching that iBabe commercial with the naked girl in it and then all of a sudden we're in like a conference room.
01:17:53
Speaker
and they are discussing that there has been some recent incident reports from the iBabe that people are getting their fingers and limbs cut off by a fan that exists because the fan that exists in the iBabe is in the...
01:18:11
Speaker
region of the privates Only place that it can go. Yeah, of course the fan exists in the vaginal area of the ibabe and They're talking about the issues like is the ibabe wrong like we did all this like R&D all these things. Yeah I Find this to maybe be
01:18:34
Speaker
the weakest or like maybe one of the weaker sketches. I think the only thing that makes it remotely funny is Richard Gere being like the head of the company and then what's his name? Jack McBrayer. Jack McBrayer being like the head of like the like development and stuff like arguing with the one woman who is like
01:18:56
Speaker
Teenage boys are putting their penises inside of it and their fingers because it feels and looks like a real woman So obviously they're going to why am I crazy? Yeah, she's room right now It was worth and she's like the only girl in the room and like everyone else was like I can't figure out why like like why I don't understand why this is like an issue
01:19:19
Speaker
You were in charge R&D. Did you like come across any like issues and y'all were like doing the field studies? He's like no
01:19:32
Speaker
and she's just like I don't understand now and like honestly there's not much more to this one than that besides when they roll out the iBabe 2.0 and then this this time instead of a white woman it's a black woman and they're like oh yeah and now you can pick your color and stuff and she's like and it goes back to Kate Bosworth and she's just like I'm
01:19:54
Speaker
Don't this is awful like she like she's like that self-worth. She's like this is terrible Sketch you see Richard here He's like I gotta you know, let me test this theory or whatever and like you see him stick his hand in the box to the area where the Fan would be and you kind of hear like this music. Oh, you're right. There's the fan Essentially the sketch, you know, why can't we put your hand in the air? No, no
01:20:19
Speaker
It won't work if we put the fan in the ear. It needs a bigger fan, it won't fit in the ear. This one is definitely the most middle school. It's like whatever that comment was on like, this is just gross filmmaking in its finest. Gross out comedy. That's the number one thing. And from my understanding, it was hard to get gear for it on my reading. They flew to him to film this scene. They're going to him and I'm impressed they got gear to agree
01:20:48
Speaker
Yeah, but he was like yeah, all right like I guess like how you gonna waste gear like that You know, I guess you got the name attached to it. You can show that the clip of him next to a naked woman It's all the shock value, but I do find this to be definitely one of the weaker sketches Definitely one of the weaker ones. Yeah, but like everything else has been like yeah, so I'll agree with that and then we and then we cut from the this to
01:21:17
Speaker
I forgot I wrote this down and somebody in that light in that eye babe sketch says none of us could have seen this coming Like so seriously like none of us predicted this was going to happen like no way like which is just it's just absurd and stupid but then we got to
01:21:34
Speaker
the pre-teens on a date yeah middle middle school day middle school day watching TV by uh elizabeth banks and it stars clue grace morton honestly it's elizabeth banks directing this one i think it's one of the only things that saves this one yeah because this one is like i
01:21:53
Speaker
So we watched this Chelsea did not like this one She thought it was one of the weaker number ones and it's it's not one of the better ones dumb But it has enough people in it and get said people and like some of like some of the moments are Just good enough to be like it is funny. Yeah, it is funny, but I was like, oh Elizabeth. Thanks like a woman to this one Elizabeth bank. It's also I mean, it's called middle school date This one is also a very like middle school boy came up with this premise and
01:22:18
Speaker
But the setup for this one is it's Chloe Grace Moritz and she's like at the house with her middle school boyfriend They're like watching TV. I think he's the only person in the schedule. I don't Yeah, but you've got Krista Christopher Mintz Plast is that his name? Mm-hmm. McLovin. Yeah, I think you know University
01:22:41
Speaker
He's the older brother. He's the older brother. And he's kind of teasing them. And Chloe Grace Mort's character excused herself to use the restroom or something like that. And it is revealed that she is experiencing her. She's wearing white jeans. She's wearing white jeans. And there is now a stain on the couch. And it is revealed that she is experiencing her first period as a young girl. And so the little boy is like, oh, man, McLovin spilled fruit punch on the couch. Mom's going to be so pissed, all this stuff.
01:23:09
Speaker
And she comes back in and she's like, hey, I don't feel good. I think I need to go home. I need to go. She comes in mortified. She's like, I got to go now. I got to get out of here now. We've got 30 more minutes until you're getting picked up. I guess we can just watch TV. I'm just going to stand over here because she's already aware that she's just trying to hide it. She leans up against a kitchen cabinet. Somehow it gets smeared. Mick Lovin's character comes back in the room.
01:23:34
Speaker
They noticed that she is now. Well, no, the little brother is like, oh my God, he spilled juice all over the cabinet too. Mom's going to be so pissed. And then they have a glove and comes in and then then he sees it. He like sees her from the back or something. It's like, holy crap. What's wrong with your girlfriend? Do you sit on a nail or something? One of them says, like, did you sit on a nail or something? It's like.
01:23:54
Speaker
Oh my fucking God. So now you've got two teenage boys trying to help a teenage girl experiencing her first period. They're all freaking out. No one knows what to do. McLovin's character is like running around the kitchen, like opening cabinets being like, so the first thing he says is like, is like, I'm going to find you some of our mom's tampons. Like, I got it. And then he like goes out and then he comes back in and he's like, you're way skinnier than mom. There's no way this is going to fit.
01:24:21
Speaker
Just like it's like that like I can't I have to admit that made me laugh I was like, it's just not Howard Like it's just like the ignorance of all the men Is hilarious. It's perfect. They have no idea what's going on all the sizing the fact is like I don't
01:24:39
Speaker
Like what is he's like I found a pack of frozen peas in the sponge I got this and that like all these different things I like can help and then he's like she's like I'm just gonna walk home and he's like you can't walk home in your condition like you can't walk home in your condition like
01:24:58
Speaker
They're all really freaking out. No one knows what to do. And that's when, um, the father of the two boys comes home and walks in and it's magic warburton. Solid. Hey boys, deep, deep ass fucking boys. The little brother is like, I'm calling 911. And he's like, he's like, he's like my girlfriend bleeding out of her vagina. Why are you laughing at me?
01:25:24
Speaker
It's a lot of chaos going on. There was like a lot of quick little things. And like right after Patrick Warburton's character comes in, he's like, oh, yeah, something birds and bees or whatever. I'm not exactly sure what he's talking about. Like it's like, uh, like it's like, I know what this is. Like it's fine. And then her dad comes in, I guess, to pick her up and it's Matt Walsh. Uh, yeah, which I'll know from the, from like so many things. Yeah.
01:25:48
Speaker
And I don't know what exactly is said but then somehow he says because I wrote this down he goes comes in and is like is he says like
01:26:05
Speaker
Like, how dare you guys squish a large tomato on my daughter's, on the back of my daughter's pants, and the dads start fighting? Because of that. He was like, what the fuck? I didn't do that. And they start fucking. It's Patrick Warburton and Matt Walsh going at each other for a second, just like really fighting. And then like, there's like, no, no, no, no one did anything. I'm just going through my period. And then like all the dads and the boys just like, oh, gross. She's like, I'm going to she's like, call mom.
01:26:31
Speaker
telling him he's at home and she like leaves and he's like Walsh is like he's like okay great and then like as he runs out he's like oh don't sit on the seats like you know he like chases her out and then the and then like the dad and the two sons are just like well that was gross anyway like getting ready for the game tonight like these are broken out immediately
01:26:52
Speaker
So no one's not great, but I think having the people in we get the slide into another commercial I forgot that is a bunch of women on the beach like yes like because at first it's like it's like it's like still the transition for this one is kind of clever because it's like because it like with no credits roll it like gets its own like somebody directed and wrote this like moment like this ad and it's like
01:27:16
Speaker
it's like these women like they're looking all hot at the beach and stuff and for a second you're just like just bros being bros like watching watching babes on the beach and stuff but then like it goes into the commercial and like two women go into the water one to the left one to the right and they're swimming for a second and the one on the left gets eaten by like a 50-foot giant fucking great white shark on the left side and on the right side it just says tampax
01:27:44
Speaker
Which both times I watch this film, I guess I somehow watched that short. And I laughed out loud, both sides of the shark. It's just so ridiculous. I had forgotten on the second watch the shark was coming. But I have to say, the way they transition from the period sketch to the tampon act is fucking genius. And she gets eaten in a pretty ridiculous way, like her arm flails off and everything. It's like 10 people's worth of blood going everywhere.
01:28:13
Speaker
Really the biggest shark that ever existed jumps out of the scene from the mag like and like does like a 50-foot jump like to grab her and it's ridiculous There's like 1 million of that 6 million dollar budget went into animating this giant shark
01:28:31
Speaker
Exactly, dude. That sketch is, yeah, I think it's not great, but I think having all his names attached to it. But there's moments, again, I think the... And I was like, you know, we've all been a very dumb, ignorant boy at some point. I think you can't walk home in this condition and...
01:28:46
Speaker
911 like those two like I think what you said too is just like I remember like learning about like this sizing Okay, like like fucking hilarious, but then we cut back to the real world and this is where common comes in and
01:29:12
Speaker
Okay. We've met, we've come into the meeting. Yeah. He's still going imposter. She's like, I've got to go get this approved by the head of the studio. Let's go talk to him. If he says that we can make this movie, then we'll make your movie, Dennis Quinn. He's like, okay. And so they are walking to him and catch Common, who is the head of the studio, like out on the lot somewhere. Like they catch him outside and start talking to him. He's just like, Hey, like, what's up, boss? Like,
01:29:36
Speaker
They catch him in the meeting Oh, you're right with Seth MacFarlane. Seth MacFarlane's pitching some like off-the-wall bullshit Like some crazy fucking movie that they want to do and Common's like yeah, yeah, whatever you want Seth like What he says is like it's something something combined with family guy. Yeah, it's family guy and Schindler's list
01:30:00
Speaker
Yeah, I think this is great. We should definitely greenlight this and stuff and they come in He's like can I talk to you and like he pulls him aside? And this is where he's like I fucked your wife and you came into work and stuff like just make a fucking boy He's like we got to make this film. He's got like a really explosive idea Like
01:30:23
Speaker
You gotta have a backbone, right? I fucked your wife at a party and then you came in early the next day at work. Like, come on bro, just fucking do it. And he's like, okay. Like, I guess that's what we're going to do. Um, he's like, he's like, he's like Seth McFarland, like, that's the second with Farland and the other guy. And he's like, should we leave? He's about time. He's like, no, no, no, no. Go over there and keep playing rock band. Like, we'll all be back with you. And there's like, go over there and start playing rock band, which is absolutely ridiculous. Um, but then, uh,
01:30:50
Speaker
So then, and then it cuts back to, they're back in, uh, the office, uh, the original executive's office within squade. And, uh, obviously the execs pissed about like everything he just heard and like pissed about. And he's like, you know what? Fuck it. We're going to bankrupt this movie, the shareholders, like whatever you want. What do you got next? Like let's go. And then this is when we get the Johnny Knoxville fucking leprechaun. Yep.
01:31:16
Speaker
This one's called happy birthday and this sketch stars Johnny Knoxville and Sean William Scott and Gerard Butler Which is like a lot of these like when you write them on paper It's like how that's gotta be at least sort of good. Yeah, right and this one's fine. This one's like it's very like kind of slapsticky It's very much. It's very Johnny Knox. Yeah, I like it because I wrote down this combination of people even though this came out in 2013 does feel very like
01:31:46
Speaker
2004. Johnny Knoxill. Sean Williams got Jard Butler. Superimposed face on as a leprechaun. Two leprechauns. Two leprechauns, actually. Him and his brother. And the setup is Johnny Knoxill's character comes in and he's just like, hey man, I'm really sorry that I
01:32:08
Speaker
Cheated on your girlfriend or like your girlfriend cheated on you with me like I know we're best friends. He's like packing up Yeah, he's like move out. I'm sorry. That was super lame me. Please don't leave I did something for you for your birthday Yeah, try make it up to you And it ends up which I guess they were both in dukes of hazard, right? I'm just realizing. Yeah, they were the dukes. Yeah, I
01:32:29
Speaker
And he's like, well, what is it? He's like, you're going to have to come down the basement to see it. Like, I think you're going to really like it. I think it's going to make you forget. This will be worth it. Come on. And so then I walked down to the basement and in the basement, tied up to a chair is a leprechaun. And it's Char Butler's face on the leprechaun. The leprechaun's pissed. And there's like, I captured this. Darnox was like, I captured this leprechaun for you so he can tell us where his pot of gold is. Yeah, we see him to tell us where the pot of gold is as we got him. Yeah.
01:32:57
Speaker
And so they're like trying to antagonize the leprechaun and he like it's like screw you guys You're not getting anything out of me. And in fact, my leprechaun comrade is gonna come see me Which sure enough a second leprechaun shows up starts doing a bunch of like crazy ninja stuff and rescue Tarantino
01:33:20
Speaker
And then Sean Williams Scott and Johnny Knoxville have to fight these leprechauns. And I don't remember exactly what the sequence is. I know, like, one of the leprechauns takes out Sean Williams Scott's eye. He takes out his eye and shit, and then Johnny Knoxville, like, gets a gun. And he's like, and like, John Williams Scott's like, one of, like, the brother leprechaun has, like, got him, and he's fighting him off and stuff. He's like, shoot the leprechaun. He shoots the original one. He's like, not that one. Shoot this one. And then he shoots that one.
01:33:48
Speaker
So then they're good. Yeah. And then it cuts to them outside with the pot of gold, right? Nope. Well, they get the pot of gold. The, the brother got like the pot of gold was on the doorstep. That's right. Like, Oh my God, we got the pot of gold. They're bringing it and he was inside of the pot. Yeah. That's when he burst out to like, to like, but they,
01:34:08
Speaker
They put the two, they walk outside with two normal sized trash bags with the implication that their bodies are in the, and they just throw them in the bin. Like everything's normal. But then he's like, Oh, I forgot. I got one more present for you. They're covered in blood. Yeah. Like with this whole thing and patch on the eye.
01:34:27
Speaker
And they go upstairs, and what's in the other room, Zach? He's a very beautiful tooth fairy. And he's like, well, what am I supposed to do with the tooth fairy? And what does she tell him? She says, I suck cock.
01:34:43
Speaker
for gold coins. And it kind of cuts to like both of them. You know, you see Sean Williams Scott just kind of smile and it just kind of pans out. Smile and that's it. Feels super, like I said, kind of 2004. The humor is very of that era. It's the casting of that era. Absolutely. That one is not the funniest to me, but there is something just like weirdly nostalgic. Honestly, it is a bit nostalgic in terms of the comedy, but then also like the
01:35:08
Speaker
Tarantino level of like like the plot and stuff like they got somebody tied up in a basement and they're like Beating the shit out of it like torturing him for answers that somebody comes to save him and there's a big brawl is like it's worth Watching.
The Absurdity of 'Movie 43'
01:35:21
Speaker
Yeah, it's definitely not the best one. This whole film is worth watching. Yes one time Yeah, you gotta watch it at least once
01:35:27
Speaker
Yeah, again, Quaid edit, of course. Yes, Quaid edit, of course. So then we cut to the exact. This is when he confronts the common with the gun in the lot. Does he? OK, because I know there's one more sketch before they're just like just cut. That is the Mexican restaurant. All right. So they cut to common in the lot. They're like outside and the execs got the gun to take it to common to be like, fuck you. I hate you. Somehow the security guard shows back up.
01:35:58
Speaker
It's like what do you want me to the comments like what do you want me to do? He's like, I want you to blow Jerry's like Jerry's like, oh god It's just like a man James kind of already had a day Like
01:36:16
Speaker
I think that's one of the best parts of the whole movie. It's like Jerry's kind of already had a day, dude. Like cut him a break. That's why, like, that's part of the reason why the Dennis Quaid edit isn't better. Because like that narrative is like, well, this is Jerry. I also want to say that to me, honestly, really, before watching this film, Dennis Quaid has always been because I am a child of the 90s.
01:36:37
Speaker
The dad from oh, yeah parent trap The fucking rookie. Yeah, fucking. Oh my god things like he's always just been that like father figure like kind of still weak Not necessarily like a super straight character, but like to see him play just something so absurdly silly It's so fucking funny and then like
01:37:05
Speaker
I forget exactly how, but then we cut to the Truth or Dare sketch. Yeah. So this next sketch is. And this one is so wild that it's Halle Berry. Dude, this one is the most probably like, I don't know how they got her to do this. I don't know how they got her to do this. Like everyone else, even with the balls on the neck for Hugh Jackman. Hugh Jackman doing the balls, like he's Australian. I get it. Yeah. Like I can see him being like, yeah. And like even like the rest of the way he plays the character in that sketch, it's like, yeah, it's just like Hugh Jackman. It's just like he's not doing absurd things, but that one part of him is absurd. Yeah.
01:37:35
Speaker
Halle Berry in this skirt does some really silly things. So Stephen Merchant. Okay, who is like a staple in British comedy and acting? You guys should all recognize him. He is the super tall, lanky, British comedian, always plays sort of a charming dude. Yeah, he is a staple in British acting and comedy specifically. He's great. He's awesome. Everything he's in, he's amazing.
01:37:57
Speaker
Including this because his acting is just this is definitely the most out there of all of them The cut back to the real world. I loved you in a second. It's so funny And so this one's called truth or dare and we're it is another date sketch So it had it cuts to Halle Berry and Steven Merchant and they're on a date in a Mexican restaurant
01:38:20
Speaker
casual daytime Mexican restaurant day. Yeah. There's kind of like, you know, doing the regular conversation and decide to start playing truth or day. Halle Berry is like, I don't want to just have another boring conversation. I'm tired of blind dates. Like, you know, like my father, you don't care that my father is like a garbage man. He's like, Oh, your father's garbage. She's like, no, that's the point.
01:38:40
Speaker
like and stuff and like like no fuck that let's play truth or dare and he's like all right let's do it so she has this idea to really spice up the date it like starts with like something like I dare you to go touch that guy's butt yeah that big that big beefy strong man I think he like chooses some truths first yeah there's a couple truth you know they're playing it safe
01:38:58
Speaker
It's when the dares start. And then it's when the dares start where this thing really takes off. He or she dares dares him to go touch guys, but he gives like a silly reaction. Then she gets dared to go blow out this blind kid who's having his birthday party at the Mexican restaurant. Go blow out his candles before he can. Yeah. Which is like, which is funny. So funny. And then this thing just like goes zero to 100.
01:39:23
Speaker
And then I think one of the, the next ones is, uh, he dares her to make, uh, so she dares him to, uh, at this, again, most of this takes place in the Mexican restaurant, which I wrote down. I can't believe they didn't get kicked out of this Mexican restaurant. Like, first of all, this must be quite a bit. This must be the most casual Mexican restaurant in the world. She's like, they like this, like, uh, bachelorette party. And they actually go back to the Mexican restaurant because there's definitely like some surgery and come back and
01:39:52
Speaker
Oh god the surgery but uh like oh they hired a Chippendale stripper like go be the stripper like take over and like so he does that and then he's like Then he dares her to make guacamole with her boob. Yeah, you see Halle Berry with her Huge tit out. I think it's like a huge fake tit. Yeah, it's like looking and stuff It's like if I think it's like CGI like there's like a moment where it's like another million fake tit like
01:40:21
Speaker
But so she's making guacamole with her boobs. They like both get crazy plastic surgery where she gets like huge boobs, huge lips. They make him like a very like offensively stereotypical. So you know the Looney Tunes?
01:40:37
Speaker
uh episodes that they did like skits back in the day during world war two when uh bug's bunny was like tricking uh the japanese like uh soldiers i do like those those ones they make him look like they make him look like yeah down to the buck teeth historically offensive caricature of yeah like
01:40:59
Speaker
one of the ones that they that would be Goldberg comes out and prefaces we're not gonna censor it because we need to remember this so we can learn from it but be prepared it's gonna be pretty rough they make him look like make him look like it's insane plus also a huge tattoo of a veiny dick on his face yeah yeah yeah so they're doing that I think there's like a sequence of like Halle Berry like
01:41:22
Speaker
Basing like turkey basting like salsa into your vagina like the hottest like El Diablo like sauce They are doing just all sorts of crazy tomfoolery in the sketch to try and outdo each other at some point. There's like Snooki is reading Moby Dick Snooki has to read Moby Dick to him and he has to listen to the entire thing and stuff I love that she did that to be honest. I love that she was like
01:41:52
Speaker
Oh, this is like a bit like this is a big torture for people to do like the self-awareness of it. Yeah. I love that. Good for her. I think she's gone on to have some self-awareness, which is fine. She knows what she's like. Yeah, she's cashed in on what exactly. And I and I appreciate that from her because that was hilarious.
01:42:09
Speaker
And then, uh, is there any other, like, super silly stuff I do? I don't think there's anything... I just know it cuts to them. I guess, like, Halle Berry's character's staying at a hotel or something. So it cuts to them, like, back at her hotel, like, in front of the room. And it's just kind of like one of those, like, oh, like, had a lot of fun, great date. It's kind of now this, like, awkward point of the day. Yeah, exactly. Are we? Are we not? And she's just like, oh, I'm sorry. I'm just not attracted to Asian men.
01:42:37
Speaker
which is what she says, rubatum. And like I said, they have made him very, very offensive character of a nation. And like, you just see him go like, Oh man, like you seem to get like all sad. And she like kind of closes the door. And then I forgot this too until I rewatched it last night. And she goes,
01:42:56
Speaker
Psych! It opens up the door real quick and goes, get in here, Yao Ming! Get in here, Yao Ming! And then she rips open her blouse with her, like, triple J fake tits he dared her to get, and he's like, let's put these to good use. And like, bobbles it, and he just runs in. And he just runs in.
01:43:18
Speaker
It's super absurd. The door closes. That's it. I think out of all of the performances and people they got, I'm just like, how? This is the most shocking. This is the most shocking. It is. What was your conversation to get her to be like, sure? Yeah. How did you get her to commit to this?
01:43:35
Speaker
She does not hold back, she leans all the way into it. She's hilarious. And I appreciate Halle Berry, right? She's like the person who brought her Oscar out to her razzie. That's that level of self-aware, it's like, yeah, I can be it on the joke. I've already done this. I did this thing, you guys are all trying to do. Let's just have fun. Shouts out Halle Berry. Oh, it makes me like you more. Exactly. She's awesome. You've been cool and hot my whole life.
01:44:01
Speaker
This skit is worth watching just because of how absurd it gets and stuff. And he's a great like secondary to play on. He is the perfect one dude. The fact that they would put them two on a blind date anyways. Exactly. That's why I'm like this one's so fucking worth watching because even though it's like so absurd and it gets like
01:44:18
Speaker
Hella offensive, obviously. But I love the self-awareness and the Dennis Quaid cut because then it cuts to a common kind of thinking. And then he's like, nah, I don't like it. And he's like, why not? And he's like, it's offensive to Asian people. We're not doing that.
01:44:34
Speaker
He's like, we're not doing that. And it's like, okay, cool. They realize this was like, even in this set up movie, even this type of movie, they were like, I know you're going to hell. And he's like, like, just the way he's just like kind of rubbing his chin, thinking about it. And he's like, nah, it's offensive to Asian people. We're not doing that one.
01:44:52
Speaker
Like, which is just so fucking funny to me. And then this is where the fourth wall gets broken, because Common pulls out his gun, choose to do, but then the shit doesn't go off right. Turns out Common also has a gun. He's ready for this moment. Greg Kinnear is holding him, but somehow, like, gets distracted, so Common pulls out his gun, blasting to Greg Kinnear. It's super ridiculous, because you see the, like, bullet holes appear in Greg Kinnear's shirt. Yeah.
01:45:18
Speaker
And then the sound comes like two, three seconds later. You see, you see him go, oh, pop, pop, pop, like, and then it's like, all right, cut like that. All of a sudden, the fourth wall is broken. You see a whole production crew, 30 people standing there, like what the hell is going on?
01:45:39
Speaker
He's like in this movie just about like shorts anyway like can't we just cut the last short? It's just when we got like that more like let's just do it like let's just do it Which is exactly how it goes and then we roll to the next short Which this one I think on paper is so great like no dude I think it's good
01:46:00
Speaker
Hills it in this one. So this one's called victory's glory and it takes place probably like maybe in the 60s It's like 50s segregation Uh, remember the titans but it's got to remember the titans feel to it But it's the basketball takes place in in the locker room before the game and it's a basketball team and they're like coach We are just nervous about this game. What if we can't do it?
01:46:26
Speaker
What about their fundamentals? And Terrence Howard plays the coach. And he's like, guys, here's the thing. Y'all are all black. They're white. They're white. This is basketball. We're playing basketball. Y'all don't have to worry about it. Don't worry about it. You got this. I just love all the fucking they're like, they're like, so coach is saying if we work as a team, he's like, that's not what I'm saying.
01:46:50
Speaker
Y'all are black. They're white. Y'all are gonna win. And he's like, so what you're saying is the Lord walks with and he's like, no, the Lord already blessed you. Y'all are black. Like you are going to win this fucking game. Like just the entire, the entire thing is him just being like, he's like, I don't know what you want me to say.
01:47:08
Speaker
This isn't hockey. This is basketball. And then when the white team comes in and squares up all of them, and they're like, look, y'all aren't ready for a white man's game. And one guy has really, really, really hairy shoulders for some reason. And one has the classic 50, 60-squints glasses and stuff. And then we get a montage of the game.
01:47:33
Speaker
They just fucking do The game goes great for our original team that we're rooting for In fact, they're like the only drama of the game is when one of the athletes we're saying address in the locker room gets a technical for dribbling the length of the court with his foot and a half long penis Like he's like come up here like stand up. He's like how big is your penis? He's like, I don't know foot foot and a half and turns out I was like He's like
01:48:06
Speaker
Yeah, but like technicality and then like so the white guys get a shot At the end of the game and he fucking granny shots the free throw makes it all the white boys freakin Cuts to the score. It's like whatever 105 to 1 games over and then
01:48:29
Speaker
the movie ends.
01:48:47
Speaker
What's this one with the Elizabeth Banks? Yeah, I was like, I don't remember seeing that, but then it's like, OK, here's this one at the very end. So you get one more. You get one more post credit skit. This one's called Bezel. This one. This is the one James Gunn directed. I was very curious to figure out which one he directed. So I was very much like.
01:49:07
Speaker
When it started, I was like, man, I love Beazle. He's funny as fuck. Like, this is hilarious and stuff. And as it grew, I was like, I don't know about Beazle. This film or the short is it's live action, but there is Beazle, who is an animated cat. Yes. And it stars Elizabeth Banks and Josh Dommel. Yeah.
01:49:26
Speaker
Amazing, honestly. Which are like solid, y'all got good people. And then Beezle, the animated 2D cartoon cat. And it kind of has like a Looney Tunes-esque opening with like the circles and all of a sudden Beezle appears.
01:49:41
Speaker
Beazle is Josh Donald's cat and loves him and Elizabeth Banks is his girlfriend and I think they're like trying to start a life together Yeah, like she like just recently moved in or something like they're making out on the couch and Beazle shows up. Beazle get kind of jealous of the new girlfriend She's like, oh we got this new person in-house taking all the attention. Yeah, like oh your cat doesn't like me and stuff and he's like
01:50:05
Speaker
No, definitely the way he's petting him to like, yeah, like his cat is tables just straight out and he's just like The way they the way they like did like combined all that was hilarious. Yeah. Yeah, so and then She's you know, I think your cat is like jealous or something Later on Josh Donald's doing something else, but you catch Elizabeth Banks walking in on bezel and bezel is
01:50:36
Speaker
pleasuring himself to, no, no, no, no. I'm just pledging himself to a photo of Josh Dommel. It's like, oh, isn't just like you love, like pull photos. Yeah. Like when we say pleasuring himself, not like when, like for those who have cats, you know, you see them clean themselves. They bathe himself. He is full on human pleasuring himself.
01:50:56
Speaker
He's going to town. Like a man would. Like I think there might be like an animated bottle of lotion or something. Yeah, it's a full send on the cat. Yeah, so is it? Thanks. It's just like, wow. Like, all right, it's clear you are jealous. Like you're in love with your owner. You're not just the pet, but in love. And.
01:51:15
Speaker
then like Beezle's like, oh no, you're not gonna find me out and get me in trouble. And so they go into like a real cartoony ass like back and forth, like trying to like get each other and attack each other and it becomes very looney tunes in that aspect. And somehow they like end up at this like children's birthday party.
01:51:34
Speaker
So so he so what there's a they got this first instance when she catches him, you know, you're gonna He goes out they go outside he attacks her he sprays all over her. That's right. He's like no like like
01:51:50
Speaker
That just means he likes you and she's like, no, the fuck it doesn't. And she's like, I can't be with you with this cat. And he's like, we'll find a new home for the cat. And like they start making out while she's covered in spray, which is disgusting. Um, and bees was like, fuck this.
01:52:06
Speaker
But I was like, but like I did make a note. I was like, I was like, nah, man, don't get rid of your cat for this girl. I was like, I don't care how bad the cat is. Like, don't get rid of your pets for, don't get rid of your pets for people. Come on, don't do that. That always works out good. Yeah, exactly. Don't do that. Never seen it ever. So they decide to like, so yeah, there's like a cut scene of like, they're trying to like live mutually and stuff, but then the day comes where they're getting rid of Beazle and taking him to his new home and
01:52:34
Speaker
I can't remember exactly what happens, but at one point, Bizil pulls out a 12-gauge shotgun, double barrel, and shoots a little bit. It's a cartoon shotgun, but it works in real life. But she gets fucking straight up shot in the back with a fucking 12-gauge shotgun. Shotgun, yeah. And so she picks up a shovel that just happened to be outside somebody's landscaping, I guess, and she starts beating this cat down the street. Boom. And they end up at the kid's birthday party as she's just pummeling this cat. Yeah, just murdering this cat.
01:53:03
Speaker
Somehow, Josh Shammel's character ends up at the birthday party too. It all gets framed against Elizabeth Bang's character. Yeah, because all these kids are like, she's beating that cat to death. Like, I'm freaking out crying and stuff. And then the kids proceed to...
01:53:18
Speaker
murder elizabeth banks yeah there's a quick shot where one of the kids picks up like a knife and like stabs her in the head and like blood comes out but then it but like it very quickly cuts to um to him and the cat walking away yeah and like cuddling and like this
01:53:36
Speaker
song starts playing that is like written for this exact moment and that like the lyrics i was watching it with subtitles on and uh some very interesting lyrics they wrote a bezel tune where they wrote a bezel tune and it was like when your cat really loves you yeah your cat it says like gay cat really like it was like gay cat like was in there and stuff and i was like oh my god what is happening like and so
01:54:00
Speaker
And then the movie actually ends. Then it ends. Then it ends. And we have completed the movie 43 internet or not international edit. U.S. edit, I guess. The real. Yeah. The real one. The Dennis Quaid edit. The only one that you need to watch. Yeah, it really is. And and like it's an interesting film. It's very interesting. And like, you know, like, I don't know, I hate to do this, but it's like, you know, you were saying it was good. I was saying it was bad and stuff and like,
01:54:31
Speaker
If you look at the reviews, you know, people are going to want to watch this movie. If they just look at reviews, if they're one of those people, it's like reviews mean everything and stuff like that. But I'm just like, I, I had some points to talk about it, about how it was bad and like, why it's like not worth watching or it's not good. And like, honestly, just going through every skit, it was just so much fun reminiscing about this movie piece by piece, the pieces.
01:54:59
Speaker
themselves or not. I want to rewatch Veronica. The Veronica was so bad. It's just so perfect. Like I can't like, I, I was going to go, you won. Like it's good. It's a good movie. Everybody needs to fucking watch this movie. I want to select a stinker film. We're going to keep talking, but like, it's just like, just watch it.
01:55:20
Speaker
like highly recommend you know bad movie debate this is technically a bad movie that i'm going to debate that it's not yeah it's not a great movie that's not what we're doing but it's not a flop it was easier for me to find bad to talk about this is gonna be crazy uh
01:55:36
Speaker
a night's tale, like things that I had issues with that and like moments I didn't like. And so this one, it's like, even when it's like a skit that doesn't hit, it's going to be over in two minutes and you just move on. And like, you can just enjoy and like, you know, that's not taking yourself seriously, right? You know, like, Oh, this is some guy who had like,
01:55:54
Speaker
really bad dialogue you're like well bad dialogue kind of plays into it here that's the point that's literally the point of half of it literally Jason Sudeikis as Batman underneath the table yeah saying some off the wall shit ridiculous like just like ad libbing like just like saying like crazy shit and stuff and that's how he figured out
01:56:15
Speaker
Amazing like you can't beat that like on I agree like you can't get mad at that like so I get I understand the 4% But I think I agree 50 51. Yep is like you need I don't think it deserves anything higher than that, right? But I know yeah that On its am I gonna say it on a straight corner and like preach that people need to watch this movie You know what I mean? Yeah
01:56:39
Speaker
Nothing like that. But I will say that about Dune part two. So I'm on the issue of good. Watch rewatch the first one. Watch this one. Shit's good. Anyway, that's my preaching. That's my preaching about doing all shocked. I haven't brought it up before. I also think that 2013 is a very interesting time for this film to come out because I think that is right before and for the better. Right. I think as society, we kind of were like, hey,
01:57:06
Speaker
We've been probably making jokes that aren't the coolest or like people who are being the butt of jokes or even content that we're bringing up that like isn't the most kosher, the coolest, right? And that, you know, with all the movements and all in the right direction, I think.
01:57:22
Speaker
this kind of comes on the tail end of the films that we were talking about earlier. They're like, maybe some of those like even late 2000s films that come out like didn't quite age as well. Oh, this doesn't have anything that's like, I mean, we discussed the Asian aspect in homeschool. But the fact that even if they like kind of are self aware of it and the film is like, nah, fuck that. I don't know if this film would ever get remade or if it could even get made in 2024. But I do think that's like an interesting time capsule. Yeah.
01:57:51
Speaker
Cause like in homeschool, like the graffiti that's on the, that's like supposed to be his locker, but it's the, like that phrase that they have on there. Like, no, like, like it, like you watch it and it's like,
01:58:03
Speaker
when I was in high school. But was that something you heard a lot in high school? In high school? Yeah, that happened in high school. So it makes sense in this sketch. It does. It's not cool. It wasn't cool and stuff. But I guess the best way to say is you could get away with it. It was something you could do in comedy back in the day. A lot of the stuff in this movie is like, you could do that in comedy on a mass scale.
01:58:30
Speaker
and nobody batted an eye and stuff and like should have happened in the first place probably not yeah is this movie funny and worth watching absolutely it is what it is you know what i mean like it's one of those like you can't make that kind of move anymore it's like you can just not like that you know i mean like you can you can do that but not
01:58:50
Speaker
Yeah, not as which intense. I don't know. Do they make movies like this? I mean, we've talked about how they don't really make comedies. Is there still like a production team that's making the like meet the Spartan type film? I don't think so. I want to say I think like Meet the Spartans are like disaster. Yeah. Well, they tried to do I think they made like a scary movie six or like five or six. And that was like late like that was like twenty seven. I mean, we didn't need anything like three or four.
01:59:19
Speaker
No, honestly after one two and three is all you needed out of that But like I think they made like a five or six and that was like 2015 2016 and like then there's one there was a couple of like it's called haunted house and it was like kind of the same Premise where it's like it all happens in this one house But here's a bunch of horror tropes that are like we're making fun of and like it's comedy and like yeah
01:59:39
Speaker
but to the scale of scary movie. We're making fun of them in this way. Shock value, gross out value, jokes and stuff like that. But honestly, I don't know. This movie is just so absurd. I'm trying to think of anyone who has played a version of themselves like Dennis Quaid and another. The self-aware, just the- Him playing himself, but a different version of himself is just so good. Almost like the Lex Grossman or whatever his name is, like Tropic Thunder.
02:00:09
Speaker
Seeing someone do something just like so different. So why? Like I haven't worked in years. Like that's just so like it's like, when was last week was last night was so discreet and fucking movie. I remember hearing about him maybe playing Nixon or Reagan in a movie. I think it was Reagan.
02:00:27
Speaker
Like I remember seeing, um, which I don't want to watch that movie. I remember like I was produced by a company that you've probably heard of. Yeah, exactly. We don't, we don't need to worry about that one. Uh, but I remember seeing something that was like.
02:00:42
Speaker
I was like doing a little bit of like looking at stuff and it's like, I think one of the, I think it was one of the like major reviews being like, like cool to see Dan's Quaid doing stuff, like hard to get away from his brother, Randy Quaid and like all the bullshit he's talking about on Twitter right now. I'm like, Oh yeah, I forgot they are brothers.
02:01:00
Speaker
Isn't that wild that, like, Dennis Quaid, like, totally, like, seemingly totally normal dude, just like, was in Hollywood, not really in Hollywood anymore, does some stuff. His brother is fucking Randy Quaid, who was in some great movies and great roles, and had a great career, but now is... You're just like, you are that person that you play. Yeah, it's like, you are an insane... Yeah, it's like, you really are Uncle Eddie, huh? You are. Turns out, that was not that far off.
02:01:26
Speaker
politics reflected and you're letting and you're letting the world know in mass like you know with your social media post so it's like and you've got Jeff who is right right and he's amazing that he's the only Quaid he's kind of past so like I guess both the the older Quaids are just like for your time yeah Jack Dennis is like I'm just gonna live a nice light quiet life Randy's going off the fucking wall
02:01:54
Speaker
Jack is here. We have a quaid still. I think we're going to be okay. Jack is that nice. And he's good. Yeah, everything I've seen him and he's I haven't seen him in anything outside of the boys. This place, how we great. I haven't seen this movie that it's on Netflix. It's not a Netflix movie, but there's a movie. It's like it's like a rom com kind of thing. I think I've heard. But I've heard of it. I heard it's really good. He's got really good. I can't remember what's called. He seems suited for that. Oh, it's the plus one. OK. It's like where it's like the premise is like it's like a rom com where it's like.
02:02:24
Speaker
like somebody has go into a wedding and like they just need a plus one and he's like either the one going to the wedding or the plus one and like it turns out it's like a nice little fun rom-com and apparently that's really good sure he does great i'm sure he does think he probably plays that kind of like
02:02:37
Speaker
safe guy character, two degree, they're like, yeah. I would imagine so. He's good. He is good. All right. Well, again, there's not much to discuss because you won. Like, again, I was like, I had some stuff like lined up. It's like, well, this part or like that part. But like, it's also self-aware that you can't. Yeah. You just can't really. Now we can talk about the bad stuff that came from the edit that I don't think you got to watch with the kids. That one's pretty bad. Like it is like.
02:03:05
Speaker
Kid's like jerking off to his mom camming and he doesn't know it's like his mom It's like there's not a really well thought-out set up any of this. That's awful. He's like trying to get porn viruses on his little brother's computer to get back on his little brother for like pranking them and like his thoughts just like well I'm just gonna like look at porn on my brother's computer and that'll do it. And that'll do it and like oh this one's hot oh it's my mom oh no like yeah it's like a playoff and like
02:03:30
Speaker
I mean this like you or I right now could brainstorm a better setup for like how I set these skits up and it is a little like jarring when you like go back and look like oh like this is what y'all originally started with like it is bad it feels like a
02:03:45
Speaker
and screw this dude, but like a Dan Schneider production. Yeah, fuck Dan Schneider, dude. Cover up them feet, ladies. Yeah, hug them toes. Hug them toes, girls. Just like of that quality, just like very silly.
02:04:02
Speaker
takes place in the teen kid's bedroom. And yeah, that's where the bad stuff. Yeah, I think that and like we've said, time and time again now, the absurdity of Dennis Quaid playing a version of himself. Yeah. I mean, Greg Keneer having Will Sasso having Common, then throwing in all these stars in their ridiculous shows like when you write it all out, like it's hard to like think that this movie would have a four percent. Right. I can understand it not being treasured as a work of art.
02:04:25
Speaker
Yeah, this isn't going to be certified fresh. But is it fun to talk about with your friends? Can you talk about the silliness? Can you quote some of the stupid lines from it? Oh, absolutely. Is it something like you could get together with your buds, get real silly on a weekend night and watch it and have a good time? Yeah, absolutely. I'm 100 percent going to rewatch the Veronica one because it's just like the acting like that is the peak of the acting. If anything, after this podcast, I do recommend watching the Veronica sketch and the homeschooled sketch.
02:04:51
Speaker
Yeah, if you if you only watch a couple sketches or like any of them Those are the two that you have to see and the actors I'll say blind date the Hugh Jackman one Watch that one just because how absurd it is and like that's what started the whole thing It's like if you really want if you watch that one first and you're like, all right, this ain't bad Just watch the entire movie. Yep, you know, I mean if you're like and fuck that one then just watch home school and Veronica and you'll be fine Yeah, and you didn't miss out too much. But like it's worth watching
02:05:19
Speaker
It's good. It's not like terribly long. It's like an hour and a half. It's not long at all. Like I think the like, yeah, the longer version is the displayed one and that's an hour and like 35 minutes. Like, yeah, like it's not, not, it's a really easy watch. Um, you'll, it'll be over and you'll be like, Oh.
02:05:37
Speaker
I laughed a lot. It's over now, great. Well, thank you so much for being here. Again, glad to be here. I want to make this happen in person. Absolutely. The fact that that lined up was fucking awesome. Absolutely. I'm so happy about that. It's been a treasure. What am I going to do? Outro stuff. Follow me on Instagram and all that stuff. Buy liquid IV. Yeah, that'd be great. The ads at the beginning. Yeah. All right. Well, I think we're out.
02:06:05
Speaker
Alright nerds, till next time. Bye!
