Fact Check: What's Up, Doc was not the first American movie to credit its stunt performers. A few other films did so, not the least of which was It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World in 1963.

Ben McKenzie's Crypto Documentary
00:00:00
Speaker
Oh my god, I saw something and thought of you today. um Did you know that our dreamboat of ah a fake husband, um Ben McKenzie, he did a documentary about crypto, but like, not in what you think. What do you think the hunk from the OC did?
00:00:20
Speaker
Like an expose? He did like expose on crypto? Okay. It's so good. And he's just like, and so I watched a clip from it and was just like, yeah, this guy's a fraud and this guy's a fraud and this guy's a fraud and this guy said he was donating to the Democrats, but really was just funneling money to the Republicans.
00:00:38
Speaker
Everything's terrible. I'm Ben McKenzie from your favorite 2000 show, The O.C.
00:00:46
Speaker
And I fell, found myself falling in love with him all over again. Yeah, that sounds depressing. That sounds like a rough watch. Yeah, yeah. This is why I don't watch streaming documentaries.
00:01:00
Speaker
Well, I only watched a clip of it on Instagram, and I was just like, whatever a refreshing what a refreshing take, Ben McKenzie. I love you. of a crypto documentary on Instagram. Here's here's a scoop. Here's a spoiler. k Crypto's terrible.
00:01:19
Speaker
I think that we knew that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that we knew that. um But yeah, I thought of you because I was just like, well, look who's making a sexy little comeback. I mean, he was on that Gotham show forever, right?
00:01:33
Speaker
Yeah, he was. He was on that Gotham show forever. Yeah. I had a friend who did a couple episodes on that. And that's the only thing I know about it. I've never seen an episode. Did they... I've seen, like, I try getting into it, I think, around, like, COVID, because I was like, well, what the hell am I going to watch now? Well, I guess there's 85,000 seasons of Gotham. 2014, 2019. There's only five seasons. Yeah, 100 episodes. So they did a clean 100. Really? Because probably a lot more.
Desire for Cartoony Remakes
00:02:00
Speaker
Syndication. Yeah, I... um Probably feels that way, because it was boring and bad, but... I mean, it was actually quite entertaining, at least the first few episodes that I watched. But then, like, just like... never watched it.
00:02:13
Speaker
Yeah. Because it was like, you know, a gritty take on... That's an oxymoron. That's what we needed, I think that man I think Batman is just too cartoony and silly and won't somebody do a gritty remake of comic book? waiting for someone to do with like a reverse Riverdale. like Can I see like a um a reverse Riverdale? so like Can I see like a cartoony, cheesy remake of like Twin Peaks?
00:02:46
Speaker
Yeah. Or like the Sopranos. like Just like us ah silly a silly Sopranos. Yeah, a reverse Riverdale, if you will. Yeah. Interesting.
00:02:58
Speaker
Yeah, I want to see like a gritty re... or a gritty I want to see a cartoon, silly, sitcom-y version of Charmed.
00:03:10
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, those things are pretty are pretty pretty silly. I mean, Twin Peaks has got a lot of silliness in it. That's true. But it is, you know, also extremely upsetting yeah and sad. Like a family-friendly Twin Peaks.
Nostalgia for Early YouTube Trailers
00:03:24
Speaker
Nobody wants that. Nobody wants a family-friendly Twin Peaks. It's like Gilmore Girls without all the drama. Oh
00:03:35
Speaker
umma Do you remember like this was like early, early YouTube. Like people did the recut trailers and the famous one was broke back to the future where it was like back to the future that was recut. Like it was a a romance between them.
00:03:47
Speaker
Was that, was that the, the one I thought it was Mary Poppins as a horror film. They did that one. and then they also did shining, which was the shining, but as a family comedy, it was like,
00:04:02
Speaker
uh peter gabriel salisbury hill playing underneath it that's what i imagine when you were yeah like family friendly twin peaks right goodness oh man i'm sleepy are you sleepy it's a sleepy time i'm not no i am we had game night last night and uh i went to bed uh fairly early and had a great had a great night's sleep i'm doing great it's a beautiful day The birds are singing. no Some guy's painting the door.

00:05:45
Speaker
ah youre You ready for it? Yeah. I'm a female Kramer.
00:05:55
Speaker
um very very current and relevant yeah im I'm sure the kids will know exactly who Kramer is yeah that that tv show that uh premiered almost 40 years ago yeah that'll be well wasn't that painting of him as a clown really famous for a minute there painting of him as a clown I don't know what that is I know the painting of the of him from the tv show that somebody did is that him as a clown No, it's just him as ah as a person. I mean, he is a clown in general, but no, I don't know a Kramer clown.
00:06:30

Speaker
um But my brand, that this movie particularly is extremely my brand. This is yeah ah very Katie Corp. Okay. but Everything about this movie.
00:07:01
Speaker
But like more specifically like one character or just sort of the encapsulation of the vibe? The whole vibe. The the whole vibe. I mean, to to to one part, you know, what I describe on um dating profile is Manic Pixie Nightmare Girl. um i feel that i feel like that's also my brand oh my god we've got the same brand yeah um but also the whole the whole vibe like the the the kind of like screwball nineteen thirty s aesthetic of this is very katie core um the chaos of it all yeah it's very chaotic the chaos but done with just such sweet intentions yes yes yes yeah yeah that's very katie core yeah
00:07:47
Speaker
chaos with sweet intentions uh i thought you were gonna say famously featured yeah famously featured in today's film that's right guys you guessed it this is go get your girl this is the podcast where emma and katie let's cast us as two plaid bags
00:08:12
Speaker
Emma and Katie lose their goddamn minds. And um become just two plaid bags who are joined by two more plaid bags. And there's some mix up.
00:08:24
Speaker
And Babs is there. And a really hot actor guy from the 70s who I was like, who is this guy? He's so hot. He's so hot. He's so hot.
00:08:35
Speaker
He's a drunk asshole who everyone who ever met him hated. um but he's so hot. He's so fucking hot. He's so fucking hot. He plays somebody's dad in something like later on. i was like looking up his IMDB and I was just like, yeah, whatever. But like him, especially when he's in just like the bow tie and his boxers. I'm like, what's up, Doc? That's right.
00:09:01
Speaker
I'm Emma. And I'm Katie. And of course, we are talking about 1972 screwball throwback movie What's up Doc? ah directed by peter bogdanovich who is a filmmaker who's maybe more famous as a film historian um he's like any documentary you would watch about movies in the 90s and 2000s like bogdanovich would show up on it he's not the pcm guy no no no no he's not um mankowitz no um This is, but he would be on those things for sure. He's always talking about old movies. He, um yeah, primarily like ah a film, an academic and a film historian who also made some movies.
00:09:47
Speaker
um love it he uh he wears an ascot um and has like glasses and is bald and he would show up constantly on stuff like i have so many like criterion movies that he has a uh a commentary track on including bringing up baby which of course he does yeah of course he does because that was like the main inspiration for this movie this movie is basically a remake of bringing up baby yeah yeah um he also made um um
00:10:18
Speaker
Paper Moon the next year which yeah um which is another kind of throwback to the 30s kind of thing that's in black and white and ah Ryan O'Neill is also the lead in that movie which ye as far as I know ada o'neill yeah who won an Oscar as the youngest person to ever win an Oscar um yeah and um yeah as far as I know is the only person to work with Ryan O'Neill more than once because yeah because let me tell you kind of this guy This guy has a no no, no, I mean Bogdanovich cast in years in a row.
Fun Facts and Filmmaking Chaos
00:10:52
Speaker
Yeah. Because this guy has a reputation for being the worst. Yeah. Ryan O'Neill um kind of problem.
00:11:01
Speaker
So does Bogdanovich because we're going to start even before we get into the plot of the movie with Emma's fun facts, Emma's fun facts. There's a lot of fun facts about this movie. Yeah. one such being um oh so many a lot of them about are about the director and about how he did not tell the city of san francisco what he was going to do no emma stop no okay because my friend my friend gia friend of the show gia who has seen almost none of the movies that we've done on this but listens every week she's like oh i told her last night
00:11:36
Speaker
We were recording this and she goes, oh my God, I love that movie. This is the one movie. Neither of us had seen this movie before. And this is one movie that Gia's seen. and she's like, I have a fun fact. So I promised her we would do a Gia's fun fact jingle.
00:11:49
Speaker
Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Well then I'll pause it because, well, I'm sure it's only one. Well, actually, I don't know. Maybe Gia's fun fact encapsulates all because there's many, many, many, many fun facts about what um this man did to the city of San Francisco.
00:12:10
Speaker
um ah Yeah. So you want to give us a jingle? you mean Yeah. Gia's fun facts. Gia's fun facts. Yeah. I went up like just like a little bit. I heard it. Like a little bit special. Yeah. Just for you. Just for you.
00:12:24
Speaker
um ah fun fact he did not have a permit for that car chase and destroyed those stairs uh in the um the alta vista the alta park al alta plaza park um the city was super pissed at them uh they destroyed the area and now the city requires specific scene-by-scene breakdowns for what is being filmed before they approve permits because of this movie Yep, this movie revolutionized filmmaking in San Francisco to be way more strict.
00:12:54
Speaker
Because not only did he that- They really tearing it down the streets. Oh, yeah. He just drove those cars down. And like there's you can still see the wear and tear on the stairs to this day. um Really?
00:13:07
Speaker
Yeah. they There's like permanent damage to the stairs. and um And also, one of the very first scenes of the movie- is barbara streisand walking around san francisco and cars just get crashing into each other as she crosses the street um she's crossing the street in there no they're cross she's crossing the street and they're trying to avoid her and they're crashing because she's just walking across the street without looking or or waiting for the lights to change or anything yeah um i figured but i didn't know if there's like any like deeper meaning behind it um
00:13:42
Speaker
But he didn't have stunt people for those shots. So he just told one of his PAs to go rent two cars and crash them into each other. And that's what they did. That's
00:13:56
Speaker
that's crazy. Well, it looks great. Yep. Well, it's pretty real. The finished product works really well. Yeah, he hooked up San Francisco. Yeah.
00:14:10
Speaker
We also still have this to go over. He also made The Last Picture Show, which is another very famous movie. And he directed the movie version of Noises Off, which is is fine, but it's yeah probably about as good as you could make a movie out of Noises Off, to be fair. Yeah.
00:14:28
Speaker
Yeah. It's a stage play. Leave it a stage play. um The screenplay is by Buck Henry, who wrote to The Graduate. Oh! And then there's the word and, meaning the second draft was by David Newman and Robert Benton, who wrote Bonnie and Clyde and Superman and Kramer vs. Kramer. Jesus! So, like, pretty big, um, like, uh, some pretty famous movies in the, uh,
00:14:57
Speaker
Not just for, like, um just in general, but, like, especially for, like, that decade and the, like, next following decade. Because Kramer vs. Kramer, is that 80s or 70s?
00:15:10
Speaker
It's late 70s, yeah. I think it's even 79, 78, yeah. Yeah. So, like, for that decade, those are, like, the heavy hitters. Like, you've got Bonnie and Clyde. You've got what What's Up Doc, which did very well. The Graduate. Yeah.
00:15:24
Speaker
The Graduate, which, you know, revolutionized toxic masculinity for the rest of time. um And ah Superman. Superman.
00:15:35
Speaker
um Like heavy, heavy hitters. Like those are blockbuster movies. um and uh and then this movie in between there which i mean this movie is famous like i definitely heard of this movie before i don't think it was like a huge blockbuster or anything yeah it did well um it wasn't like well bam um it i think madeline khan won a ah not a drama desk oh my god won a golden globe ah oh that makes sense yeah uh for best because did you know is another emma's fun fact emma's fun facts this is her film debut yeah it says introducing madeline khan in the opening credits Which is insane to me. Because she's as Madeline Kahn-y as Madeline Kahn can be, which I love. I love Madeline She's the best. We love Madeline Kahn. She's the fucking best.
00:16:26
Speaker
um So you would think that she'd been a a comedic just staple for decades at this point. but now I mean, I guess she did theater before this, but like, yeah.
00:16:37
Speaker
Yeah. she's She's fucking brilliant. I love her. um So yeah, we have Ryan O'Neill, we have who had been in Love Story before this, which was the biggest movie of that generation. like our I mean, I guess our parents probably were probably a little young for Love Story. My mom was probably in high school, I guess, when Love Story came out.
Impact of 'Love Story' and Modern Comparisons
00:16:59
Speaker
And my mom is you know a little older. What year was your mom born? 55. So she would have been 15 when Love Story came out. yeah Okay. Okay.
00:17:10
Speaker
Um, uh, yeah, my parents were both. Because my mom listens and not going to say how old my mom is. Oh, okay. Um, uh, yeah, my, my parents were older when they had me. Um, I'm the youngest, yeah.
00:17:22
Speaker
Same. and And, I, I, I, I knew I had old parents. Yeah. But Love Story was, i mean, probably even bigger than The Notebook. Like, an absolute phenomenon. it was It was a book and a movie, and nobody could stop talking about it. Like, it was it was ah a huge cultural phenomenon when Love Story came out. And it made Ryan O'Neill a huge star.
00:17:45
Speaker
Oh. Yeah, mean, the famous line from Love Story is, love means never having to say you're sorry. Oh, and they quote that in there Yes, they do. Yes. Yeah. That's so good. Yeah. And it has the, you know, the famous, the song, the theme from Love Story, all of that. Like, um it's it's really big stuff. um And so this movie is just a couple years after that. And he is kind of like doing a complete turn on his on his image from that movie. And it reminded me a little bit of Robert Pattinson. Oh.
00:18:16
Speaker
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's very much like, yeah, you like this heartthrob wants to do something kind of, or maybe even like Jon Hamm. Like ok who did after like Mad Men became successful, like did decided to do just a bunch of the goofiest comedy stuff he could like just real silly nonsense. Like Jon Hamm on 30 Rock while Mad Men was still on. Everybody was like, oh my God, he's funny too.
00:18:41
Speaker
He's so good. And every single time he would host SNL, just absolutely fucking brilliant. Yeah. I love him. I love that man. Jon Hamm's Jon Hamm. john john's hams john ham yeah come down to ham and bubbly it's one of my favorite sketches is ham and bubbly ham and bubbly yeah yes um so that was snl corner um yep but yeah this movie also has a little known uh singer actress uh called barbara streisand uh the lead role jesus sorry it's
00:19:18
Speaker
blew out my earbuds i mean you gotta you gotta scream for babs and let me tell you has barbara streis has barbara streisand been hotter than in this movie like i know that she's very talented and that she's got great performances in a lot of things but in terms of like how hot she is i feel like this is the peak yeah So hot. However, that i do, i did have a one complaint and that is probably because of the time. um Color theory.
00:19:48
Speaker
Color theory. um I feel like- think seventy two I know her hair needed to it was just like, it was not brown. It was not blonde. It was like in between the two and it washed her out I wanted to get it to go in one of the other directions. And I think she would have been absolutely drop dead.
00:20:04
Speaker
Stunning. Like when it was up and it was like more blonde than how it was when it was down, it looked fantastic. But like, it just was too many highlights, not enough toner.
00:20:15
Speaker
It's, it was hard to tell if they were highlights or lowlights. Yeah. If it was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't like your hair color. but it's yeah to be But to be fair, it is under a hat most of the movie. That's true. It is under a hat most of the movie. Many, many, many, many, many page four caps were not harmed in the filming of this movie.
00:20:36
Speaker
Big time. um So this is a classic farce. This is a straight up screwball heavily inspired by Bringing Up Baby. I mean, the characters, I'm i'm kind of i'm kind of disappointed that we didn't do Bringing up Baby before this. okay We will do Bringing Up Baby eventually. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. The characters are virtually the same um people. ah He is a hot nerd, ah the Cary Grant character. And she, the Catherine um ah the catherine Hepburn character, is...
00:21:06
Speaker
just a completely insane chaos gremlin um in in both who just decides to take a liking to her i was reading some letterbox reviews and there were a lot of reviews from men who are like i don't understand why what she sees in this nerd i'm like excuse me nerd is ah very very hot so fucking hot he's so fucking fucking hot Like, did they see, did they watch this movie? With the glasses and a little tie? Like, Jesus. Even when he's, like, trying to put on his pajamas, I'm like. Oh, my God. I know. Yeah. Clumsy hot nerd? Come on. He's. I know.
00:21:46
Speaker
Clumsy hot nerd who's not just a nerd, but a music nerd. he's He can play music with rocks. uh-huh and he can like throw you around too like yeah yeah he can he's really good at carrying around some uh some plaid cases some rocks yeah and some filled with rocks um this movie starts with barbara streisand absolutely um but riffing on you're the top uh the cole porter song from anything goes like no
00:22:18
Speaker
Just like, it's not how the song goes, but that's yeah what she wanted to do. And it it certainly sounds like Barbra Streisand. That's kind of her whole deal. ah um And as soon she started singing, I was like, oh, thank God. At least we get some Babs singing in this A couple of standards in this. A couple, yeah. yeah um And there's ah no less than four identical plaid bags yeah in this movie. Yep.
00:22:44
Speaker
One of which has a bunch of igneous rocks in it that belong to Howard, who is Ryan O'Neill's character, heard who was called Steve by Barbra Streisand just because she decided to start calling him Steve, which is i love just very classic screwball.
00:23:02
Speaker
Classic Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Yes, yes. um But again, like she's not a dream girl. She's a nightmare. She is She's Manic Pixie Nightmare Girl.
00:23:13
Speaker
yes manic pixie nightmare girl um and uh but she's definitely manic she's oh way person an agent of chaos thrown into this man's life um she tries to be uh destroy everything in her wake it just happens sometimes she does she does a lot of it on purpose when she sends When she sends Madeline Kahn to the criminal safe house, that's 100% on purpose.
00:23:45
Speaker
That's just, she didn't know that it was a criminal safe house. She just overheard a random address. Yeah, and gave it at to Madeline Kahn. And she didn't know what could be there. She thought, for all she knows, it could be an apartment building.
00:24:00
Speaker
Fair enough. Fair enough. um So yeah, we start off with a spy. A spy has this plaid bag full of top secret documents and it's just yeah just a straight up MacGuffin. We don't know anything about it.
00:24:12
Speaker
I didn't even realize the second guy was a cop until the very end. Like I thought they were just two different spies, right? Like an American spy and a spy and a Russian spy. It's very spy versus spy. Yes. like it's And you know that that's like very important top secret documents because the manila folder says top secret.
00:24:30
Speaker
top secret the end where he picks up those giant uh wire cutters and goes off after him just like perfect perfect cartoon nonsense perfect shit yeah yes oh maybe that's what i oh no because that would be a straight up riverdale
00:24:47
Speaker
what i was like what if we did like a a gritty rendition of what's up doc and then i was like no that's just a riverdale element that's not a yeah yeah that's that's just a regular riverdale yeah Um, so there's, there's these two spies who are trying to get this plaid bag. And then we see that dummy baby Ryan O'Neill, who is a musicology professor who is doing studies on how he thinks Neanderthals played rocks to make music.
00:25:17
Speaker
Yep. Um, and has got these rocks and is always hitting them with a tuning fork and listening to them. He's got a plaid bag that's identical. That's full of rocks. Yep. Then he and his fiance, Madeline Kahn, who's playing Eunice Burns.
00:25:33
Speaker
Eunice Burns, um who's a bit of a handful. She's just very particular. She's very type A. She knows what she wants and she's very traditional.
00:25:46
Speaker
Not written by a woman character, Eunice Burns. ah Obviously. She sleeps in a different hotel room than her fiance because they haven't gone all the way yet.
00:25:57
Speaker
Right. It wouldn't be proper. She wears this wig with like a, is it a gidget? Like, what is that? it's the like Ridiculous. Yeah. The like 60s flip. It's the most hideous wig ever. And it's, yeah oh no, it's, too months it's that girl, I think is what it is. Oh, okay. Yeah. yeah Well, she looks so much better without the wig. And I'm just like, girl, what are you doing? Who told you that wig looks good?
00:26:21
Speaker
I mean, she's not a stylish person. um They are both musicologists from Ames, Iowa, who are in San Francisco for Musicology Conference, where Howard is trying to get a grant.
00:26:33
Speaker
To study his rocks. And he's very into his rocks. And he's barely cognizant of anything else that happens. He just really loves his rocks. And he really wants this grant. And he's just. Yeah he's a bumbling.
00:26:48
Speaker
Oblivious idiot. Who thinks. indeed Who doesn't. The thing is Katie. None of these people. Even though there's so many like. Important things in these bags.
00:27:01
Speaker
Nobody checks the bags until the end. Nobody checks the bags. They're carrying the bags around without checking what's in them a lot. um We're introduced to would way different. Well, the rocks and the jewels probably would weigh the same, I would imagine. But the documents and Barbra Streisand's clothes. Well, she has a big book in it, remember? He pulls a big giant book Oh, yeah. That's supposed to make up for that. Maybe. Okay. So it's not a realistic movie. This movie is a cartoon, we should say. This is a live action cartoon, 100%. Yes. Down to the title. That's why it's called that. Yep.
00:27:38
Speaker
So we get, ah we meet Barbara Streisand, who is hungry. And um she doesn't appear to have any money. And she's following a pizza delivery man into this big fancy hotel. And like we said earlier, are causing car accidents all over the the city.
00:27:53
Speaker
yeah um She has an identical bag as well. Then we see a fourth identical bag with this old woman who checks into the hotel. um And we meet the Fritz, the hotel manager and the house detective who are plotting to rot to steal her jewels. Yep.
00:28:10
Speaker
Because she just brings an entire duffel bag full of diamonds. Like no explanation. She's just, she's just come to this hotel with an entire duffel bag full of diamonds. No other baggage.
00:28:23
Speaker
Mm hmm. Um, so there's four bags, one with rocks, one with top secret documents, one with clothes and one with diamonds. Yes.
00:28:34
Speaker
And I tracked all of them throughout the movie in these notes pretty meticulously, but I feel like it's probably not worth it to get into it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm all, I i made a note every time one of the bags gets switched.
00:28:46
Speaker
Oh, it is. Pay attention to that. It's just very farce. All of the bags are getting switched constantly because there's all these people. So we've got, The hotel manager and the house detective are trying to steal the jewels. We have the spy who's got his documents. And then we have, who turns out to be an FBI agent, who is trying to get the documents back.
00:29:06
Speaker
Yes. Then we have the rocks and the clothes, which are just their bags. And that's yeah they just all. Yeah, they're dummy bags. um Judy's there trying to steal food. So she calls room service and gets food sent to an empty room upstairs, which just yeah happens to be...
00:29:23
Speaker
The room right across the hall from Ryan O'Neill. But we don't know that yet.
Streisand's Charismatic Chaos
00:29:29
Speaker
First, weekend them hotel room he goes to a drugstore and she sees him and follows him in there and just decides to to insert herself into his life, which yeah again, very, very hot man.
00:29:42
Speaker
Yes. Very, very hot man. Who's looking at a rock. Legit. looking at a rock. He's real into rocks. It's like a rock that says like, you know, al Alcatraz souvenir or something. Yeah. And the first word she says to him are what's up doc.
00:29:59
Speaker
Yeah. They said it. She's the personification of, of Bugs Bunny in this movie. Like that is exactly what she's doing, which is, you know, also got like it's, it's roots in screwball. Like, because as we talked about it happened one night movie, uh, it happened one night episode. Uh, Bugs Bunny was largely based on, um,
00:30:20
Speaker
what's his name? And it happened one night. um Clark Gable. Yeah. um And, oh, where was I going with it? Oh, so does that mean that um Howard is um Elmer Fudd?
00:30:35
Speaker
um A little bit. Yeah. Yeah. yeah mean I mean, this is basically like um fanfic, right? This is this is Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd fanfic.
00:30:46
Speaker
yeah You might say. Yeah, what if Bugs Bunny was a hot lady in the 70s and Elmer Fudd was ah was a rock scientist? A hot rock scientist. And they yeah just needed to bang.
00:30:58
Speaker
um They're both very sexy in this movie. They are both very sexy in this movie. um And he we meet... And then there's Eunice, who is um nagging him all the time, which is yeah a... She deserves better. Eunice is... um bit of a problematic character in this but madeline khan is of course perfect yes and just abs like nails that like balance of like shrill and unhinged um while also making her boring um it's it's a really good like line it's where he says i don't think of you as a woman eunice you're just eunice which is just sort of like so heartbreaking you're like dude how are you engaged to this woman
00:31:43
Speaker
It seems like everything happens to him without him like doing anything. Like it's just probably it probably Eunice was like, well, and now we get engaged. Yes, exactly. Yeah. um So there's a party that night where he is trying to impress this man, Mr. Larrabee, who's played by Austin Pendleton, who's in tons of other stuff. He's in the Muppets movie, probably most famously. he looks um like the most 70s actor that's ever graced the screen. what if he What if there was a little guy? That's basically his whole deal. yeah um He's a teeny tiny little man with a... with There is so much floppy hair in this. So much floppy hair. I was like, geez Louise. Floppy hair for days.
00:32:27
Speaker
um And then we have Mr. Simon, who is Kenneth Mars, who is, of course... um I can't think of the character's name, but he's the playwright from the producers, the Nazi who wrote Springtime Hitler.
00:32:38
Speaker
Oh, yeah, yeah. And he's doing an absurd accent in this movie too. I believe he's supposed to be Hungarian. Oh, it came off as Russian. I was like, well, typical 70s.
00:32:49
Speaker
Basically, i think he says he's I think he says he's Hungarian. Yeah. um okay He's just making weird vowel sounds. um It is not an accurate accent at all. He's just he's doing a silly accent. yeah I was also very confused by his hair. I didn't know if it was a toupee or if it was his actual hair because he had like one just like strand of like really long hair that kept flopping in his face. And I was like, what is happening here?
00:33:14
Speaker
He's a real mess. Yeah. He's a real So Ryan O'Neill is supposed to impress Mr. Larrabee and he's in competition with Mr. Simon, the guy we just described um for this grant.
00:33:26
Speaker
And um he's at this dinner. And however, um Judy, who he met in the drugstore and told to leave him alone, um which she would not do. um just that like she's She puts a radio down is like, my husband will pay for it and like walks away. And he's like buying aspirin. And he's like, how much will it be? It's like $68. He goes, for the aspirin? He's like, no, for the radio. Your wife said. He's like, she's not my wife. and he goes she goes, why would you say that, honey?
00:33:53
Speaker
It's just- very much like just constant like little jokes and wordplay and she is weaving this like non-stop almost effortless like symphony of chaos around this man's life throughout the whole movie. She seems to know everything. Like he makes some kind of reference to rocks and she's like, oh, well, I'm not that interested in, in igneous rocks, but I love sedimentary and, um, whatever the other kind of rock is. Yeah. And then she starts listing a bunch of rocks and he just kind of like, doesn't know what to do with that.
00:34:30
Speaker
Nobody knows what to do when she starts talking because she's the most competent person. yes She talks a lot, but she just wants, she wants to have a good time. she's use She has a superpower of like remembering everything she's ever read, but uses it only to cause chaos and ah to annoy men, which is like such an aspiration for me.
00:34:55
Speaker
Love it. Get it, girl. of ah she She rips open his suit ah the first time that she meets him and then he has to explain that to Madeline Kahn.
00:35:08
Speaker
um So she goes she sneaks into the dinner. shes she She steals Madeline Kahn's name tag and pretends to be his fiancée, Burnsy, as she describes herself. Yeah.
00:35:22
Speaker
She's like, you discern, but you can call me Burnsy. Absolutely charms the pants off of all of these people. Randy Quaid is there. a Presumably, like, prepubescent Randy Quaid is in this movie. right Right. Very shocking. Yeah. It was it looks like he's about 16. Yeah. yep um they are all utterly charmed by her she makes up all these stories and he just can't get a word in edgewise like anytime he tries to tell the truth everybody just talks over him nobody wants to listen to howard or steve as she decides to call him yeah they just want to talk to bernsey that because she's she's the personality higher in that relationship yeah yeah even though they're not in a relationship
00:36:03
Speaker
the part where she tries to talk to him under the table and then everybody else comes down under the table and then it cuts to the waiter going like what kind of wine are you serving to the people at table one and it just cut shows Yeah. all of them under the table so it's just it's so charming it never stops like there's a joke every few seconds it's just it's beautiful very fun yeah it's a very very fun movie uh meanwhile madeline khan's trying to get in there and she's screaming that she's eunice and
00:36:34
Speaker
She gets past security And the security's all holding her And she's like Howard Howard And she sees him He's under the table With everybody else And they're like Do you know this woman? And the guy's trying To impress Larabee's like Who is this woman? And he goes I've never seen her before In my life Well even worse He goes Who is this unhinged woman? Yes Yes Yes And like He's just like Oh God I want this Grant More than I want My relationship So I guess Yeah We're gonna throw Madeline Kahn Under the bus Yeah. um And things progressively get more chaotic than there. um Meanwhile, upstairs, there's a um ah
Comedic Chaos in the Hotel Scene
00:37:13
Speaker
game of um three card Monty going on with the bags where the house detective goes in and steals the rocks thinking they're the documents
00:37:26
Speaker
yeah The spy takes the documents and puts them in the room next door to him, ah hides them. And then the spy, ah so no, no, wait.
00:37:37
Speaker
The house detective has the, hides the jewels in the room, in Ryan O'Neill's room. And then they get the bags mixed up where he takes the jewels and then the other guy takes the clothes.
00:37:50
Speaker
See, I just like let it all wash over me. I didn't try to even like work out which bag was which. I was like, it doesn't matter. I just know that they're mixing up bags. It's not important to track them.
00:38:00
Speaker
Yeah. And also so this is why having electric locks in hotels is so important now. Well, no, then you can just hack it. That's the thing. It's it's not any better. Yeah. yeah Well, nobody locked their door. Well, it's the first of all, it's the house detective who would have a key to everything either way, right? He works for the hotel, yeah. But he wasn't unlocking the doors. He was just walking in.
00:38:22
Speaker
So it's just like, this is a major metropolitan city. It is, yeah. the the Don't stay at the Bristol Hotel in San Francisco, y'all. Right? Your shit's going to get confusingly mixed up with other people's shit.
00:38:34
Speaker
um Then we have the scene where he gets back to his room. He has this bow tie on that he can't tie or untie. He takes off his shirt and the bow tie stays on. He looks like a Chippendales dancer. So much hotter than a Chippendales dancer. Yeah. He realizes that Barbra Streisand is taking a bath in his hotel room.
00:38:53
Speaker
She's just taking a bath. And it's just like, it's the funniest, sexiest scene I've ever seen in my entire life where she's just like, well, i'll get up. And he goes, no. And he's just standing there with his like his pajama pants down.
00:39:06
Speaker
Cause I guess in the seventies they had weird pajama pants that you had to like put on weird pants. I couldn't figure out how he was putting on his pajama pants. They were odd. They seemed very, very thin. And I guess they were a prop because she has to rip them in that scene, but they were very thin pajama pants. Yeah. Like there wasn't like a waistband really. i was just so confused. Yeah. I was was like drawstring with no elastic or something. Yeah. Yeah. I was very confused as to like how they would stay up because there was no way in hell that they were. It like, was he going to tuck them into his boxers? I don't know. Um, And ah and so like he's got his pants around his ankles with his boxers and this little bow tie. And she gets out of the shower in the teensiest, teensiest towel and making jokes and doing things. And Eunice is calling from next door going, what's going on and in there? And he's like turning on the TV going, it's the it's a documentary. There's a documentary going on
00:39:57
Speaker
And it's just chaos. But you're just like, these two very attractive people are being so charming and funny. And I just want them to make out. The spy is out or the FBI agent is outside with the the bag of rocks thinking that they're documents and he's creeping along the ledge. Meanwhile, Ryan O'Neill shoves her out onto the ledge. She's dangling. Madeline Kahn comes into the room. They start she starts accusing him of things.
00:40:23
Speaker
Room service that Barbra Streisand called comes into the room and starts making these sandwiches. One of my favorite jokes in the whole movie. barbara strides and pushes the fbi agent into the room madeline khan is trying to get him to get uh the tv to turn off but he broke the knob so he tries to pull it from the wire it catches well it catches fire the hotel manager and the house detective get there they and ryan neil are all trying to put the fire out meanwhile the room service man is very calmly continuing to make these sandwiches they
00:40:57
Speaker
pull the tablecloth out from under him at one point to try to put the fire out. He continues making the sandwiches as if nothing is happening. Yeah. Barbra Streisand finally bursts through, ah the, the wind, the, the window. Like it's, it's completely, it's just total chaos. Like the, the height of, it reminded me very much of like a George S. Kaufman, like farce play from the, from the thirties.
00:41:23
Speaker
Um, And everything goes to hell. the the ah He burns the hotel room down the next morning. He gets kicked out of the hotel. yeah ah Yeah, he's like apologizing to the um the hotel manager. He's like, I'm so, so sorry about the hotel room. He's like, the staff and I have a request for you.
00:41:41
Speaker
He goes, OK, what is it? And he and they say, leave. Yes. Yeah. um ah and he gets the bag, which at this point is the jewels. Barbra Streisand has the documents.
00:41:59
Speaker
um the spy has stolen her clothes and the house detective has ah the rocks still. But this is where I come up with a second question, which is Barbara Streisand at one point in the next scene that we're about to see is in a different change of outfit. She's in a different change of clothes.
00:42:16
Speaker
And um from her first outfit. And then she rewears that outfit again, that like first outfit again. So like we have two different outfits, but in order for her to get said second outfit, she would have to go in her bag.
00:42:29
Speaker
Maybe she took it out of her bag and hung it up in the closet in the room she was squatting in um before. Maybe. Because she's naked that night. in that Yeah.
00:42:41
Speaker
She's naked. Where are her clothes? I mean, she probably stole it from something else. She steals everything in this movie. That's true. She doesn't know how to not steal. Maybe she stole it from Eunice. Yeah. Eunice wouldn't wear those clothes.
00:42:54
Speaker
Yeah, that's true. That's true. They were jeans and a t-shirt. He gets in the, um, he gets in the elevator trying to go down, but the elevator goes up for some reason. Yep.
00:43:05
Speaker
He ends up on ah on an unfinished floor and he finds a piano. He starts playing the piano, but there's a sheet over it. And of course, under the sheet, Barbra Streisand has just been waiting for him. like Yeah, or she's been napping.
00:43:17
Speaker
It's extremely Bugs Bunny. Like, you know, it's an um an impossible, she shows up in impossible places. Yes. And she is like, you know, she quotes Casablanca and is like, play, she says, she she says play it, Sam. And she she teaches him how to play as time goes by. And she sings.
00:43:36
Speaker
Again, an idios an idiosyncratic cover of As Time Goes By from Casablanca. Yeah. Yeah. yeah But they sing it together and then they fall down on the ground and they make out for a while. And do they have sex? It's hard to say. I don't know.
00:43:49
Speaker
It fades to black. That is a TBD. And he's constantly going, but my fiance, my fiance, I don't know. It's like, who's Eunice? And they make out. And then, oh, and she shows him that she that he got ah the grant and he's supposed to come to this lunch tomorrow morning at um Mr. Larrabee's house. Yep. Which looks like the house from Charmed. Oh, I said it almost.
00:44:17
Speaker
I said it looked like the house from Full House. It looks way more like the house from Charmed. I was like, is this the house from Charmed? Is this Charmed? I think there's a lot of those row houses in San Francisco. Yeah.
00:44:31
Speaker
There's only one. Yeah. They're multimillion dollar homes. And there's. There it is.
00:44:45
Speaker
I couldn't tell what you're doing at first, but you. That was the Barbra Streisand version of the full house. Yes. I didn't know any of the lyrics. Yeah. Whatever ever happened to predictability? little do you The milkman, the paperboy, eating in TV.
00:45:00
Speaker
Oh, there we go. um know Why do I know that? Don't know. hey and i don't know I don't know where my keys are, but I know that. But you know the lyrics to the Full House theme song.
00:45:11
Speaker
and And the Family Matters one. Live your Live your life. Um, ah so they're on their way. Ryan and O'Neal is on his way there. He tells Madeline Kahn, she's like, it's going to take me a long time to get ready. So I'll meet you over there.
00:45:25
Speaker
Barbara Streisand calls her room. Oh, and then we find, we see the spy sees them with the bag. He realizes that he might not have the right thing. He checks his bag. He realizes that he's got her clothes.
00:45:37
Speaker
So he's following them to try to switch the bag back. The, um, the, the house detective has got the rocks and he's going to meet the fence, uh, or the criminal organization at a location.
00:45:50
Speaker
Barbara Streisand overhears the address of this. calls Madeline Kahn in her room and tells her to meet that the, the, the luncheon's been moved. It's been moved. to To this like criminal safe house. And so she gives her that address. So she takes a cab there.
00:46:06
Speaker
Yep. And it's just like poor Madeline Kahn. Like they're like, at first you're like, Oh, this woman's the worst. But then as the movie keeps going, you're like, Oh my God, poor fucking Madeline Kahn. Like look she's going to be fine. She's going be just fine.
00:46:19
Speaker
She doesn't know that in the moment, though, because, like, she just, she gets dropped off at this, like, abandoned, like, I don't know, fishing outpost. Very scary looking place. Yeah. Like, falling apart docks. Like, as she's going up the stairs, it looks like those stairs are about to fall off the side of the house. Mm-hmm. And she goes, are you sure this is the right address? And the cab driver goes, this is the one you gave me. And he goes, do you want me to wait for you? And she goes, yes. And he goes, nope.
00:46:49
Speaker
And he drives off. Drives off and leaves her there. She has to go up and she's just like the entire time going, hello? Hello? Howard? Howard?
00:47:02
Speaker
Goodness gracious. And then she opens the door and...
00:47:07
Speaker
There's rocks on the desk and a bunch of, um, uh, of like gangsters punching the what is it? The ah hotel house detective. Yeah. no it's opera it's the I don't know if he has a name. Yeah.
00:47:23
Speaker
the hotel house detective, but they like, they're all frozen as she opens the door and she's like, Oh, I don't think this is the location of the luncheon. I'll go now. Wait, those are Howard's rocks. And then they all are just like, what?
00:47:38
Speaker
And they kidnap her. Uh-huh. And so they go to, so they, I mean, imagine they, you know, they point a gun at her and she tells them the address of the, of the lunch. So They're on their way there. The spy is on his way there. The FBI agent is following the spy.
00:47:55
Speaker
um They're all there with Mr. Larrabee's house. um There's four bags and then people, everybody arrives and starts shooting. um There's this huge fight. Barbra Streisand keeps throwing pies, every one of which lands in Mr. Simon's face. The maid grabs the gun off the ground and just starts shooting it into the air. um Everybody's fighting everybody else.
00:48:18
Speaker
Somehow, Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal get all four of the bags. So this is when they realize what's in the bags. They're like, open the bag, and he opens it, and it's like, oh, these aren't my rocks. These are jewels. Yes.
00:48:29
Speaker
And then he's just like, oh, my rocks must be in the other bag. Because Barbra Streisand is like, and now Howard will play you some rocks. Yeah, he's going to play the rocks. Yeah. And he's like, he opens them and he goes nope, not those. And he goes, let me get your bag, Babs. And he opens her bag and it's the documents. And he goes, nope, not these. And he goes, these are not my bags.
00:48:51
Speaker
I gots to go, gots to go. In the chaos of these like four different groups of people all fighting one another, they escape with all four bags. They run to find, they find like a um ah bike like vendor that's yeah it's it's well it's a grocery bike so it's it's a yes that's what it is it's a grocer's bike so it's got like a big sort of compartment in the front of it so that you can put all the groceries in there that you're delivering and he's the the poor teen that they steal the bike from is delivering said groceries so it's empty so it can fit four large plaid duffel bags and they just hop on well barbara streisand hops on and she tells howard to get a running start yeah
00:49:38
Speaker
So they're riding down the streets of San Francisco, you know, famously hilly town. Yep. Which we've seen in many, many other movies we've done on this pod. He's on top of the ah of the the box and she's pedaling the bicycle. They have four cars chasing them. Yep.
00:49:57
Speaker
yeah They've got the spy in a cab, the FBI agent in a car following them, the criminals with the hostages of Mr. Larrabee, Mr. Simon and Eunice. And then finally in the back is, oh no, the FBI agent is in the back who found just like,
00:50:14
Speaker
who hijacked a car by this, a very friendly man who's game for anything. He's in a convertible. Oh yeah. He's just really, he's just like, okay, I'll drive you around. Yeah, let's do it.
00:50:26
Speaker
And i but what follows is an incredible car chase through the streets of San Francisco, up and down these Hills. There's this bit where it just suddenly cuts to these guys carrying this giant pane of glass. And like, obviously you know what's coming.
00:50:40
Speaker
Yeah. And then they do this stress the entire time. Cause it's like a five minute long sequence of them trying to avoid the bike, then a car, then another car, then another car, then another car. And then the bike can't go up the hill anymore because they're trying to go up the hill with too much weight on the bike. And then they go back down and then they try to avoid the bike again. And then another car. She goes down backwards. All the cars have to make a yeah U-turn on the hill to come after her. They, they,
00:51:07
Speaker
you're all going They go through the through the leg the legs of the ladder with the man on top. Finally, the very last car hits the ladder and he is on the on the sign he's hanging and then swings into the glass to break it. Yep. yep they They crash through a a Chinese like ah parade where there's the big Chinese dragon on them that they're chasing. Yeah, they get a dragon on there.
00:51:33
Speaker
It's very Looney Tunes. They go into a costume shop. they put on a bunch of They put on costumes to try to escape. They steal a Volkswagen Beetle from a wedding that's got Just Married written on it.
00:51:44
Speaker
Yep. It goes on. It's like 10 minutes long. Yeah. It's a 10 minutes long. Just yeah insanity. um Which brings me to what the next of Emma's fun
Tribute to Buster Keaton with Car Chase
00:51:52
Speaker
facts. Emma's fun facts. So there is a scene where just a random guy is being chased by all of the trash cans rolling down the hill that they've docked over. They hit every trash can on this hill. No, it's the bike messenger, isn't it? Isn't it the bike messenger?
00:52:08
Speaker
i thought it was just a random dude. okay um but every single trash can is all rolling down the hill but um that particular shot it is an homage to buster keaton's feature film seven chances which is another uh sort of i have not i've not seen that one um i love buster keaton though um yeah uh bogdanovich i think also has done like a documentary about buster keaton and stuff he's very into that yeah Yeah, there's a lot of sort of like homages to things like, um and that like, there's several homages to bringing up baby in this, obviously. Yes, very much. um
00:52:45
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. my um So finally, everybody ends up in the San Francisco Harbor. They are like, we're going to jump onto the ferry. i don't think we're going to make it. We're going to make it. I don't think we're going to make it.
00:53:01
Speaker
And there's the Yeah. incredible stunt the um the guy in the convertible at the end the car goes under this like canopy and he's standing up and his body oh yeah all the way down they go off the pier and into the river and he goes flying up out of the car i'm like that it's a that's a very impressive looking stunt because it's all real. I mean, it has to be. Oh yeah. Yeah. And this is actually one of the first movies to credit their stunt performers in the credits.
00:53:30
Speaker
Oh really? It's yeah. And it's the first American film to credit stunt people in the credits. on The first British film to do so was um a James Bond movie, Moonraker in 1979. So this was before that. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Until 1972.
00:53:48
Speaker
They deserve an Oscar. They really do. Yeah. um Then we go to a... Oh, so we do learn a little bit about Judy Maxwell, Barbara Streisand. When they're in the the piano scene, she kind of explains why she knows everything. She's just been going to college
Judy Maxwell's Educational Journey
00:54:03
Speaker
for years. yeah She keeps going to college.
00:54:06
Speaker
out. Because she's a nightmare. Yeah, because she keeps getting kicked out because she just like, some things are her fault and then some things aren't her fault. And the one thing that wasn't her fault and she was, she was like, and then it was like really working out. And then the building that I was taking class in just inexplicably caught fire.
00:54:27
Speaker
yeah i mean, exploded is a better word maybe. and Yeah, yeah. He's like, what was it, like some kind of like political activism? And she's like, no, chemistry major. Yep. i um ah And she's majored in all kinds of things, including geology, which is why she knows about rocks and politics and everything else. And she just remembers all of it. um And um she's like, I came back to San Francisco to explain to my father what you know i have to tell him that i got kicked out of another college so i don't know where i'm gonna go next he's gonna be so disappointed in me yeah um and uh so let me cut to the this judge who's a nervous wreck he's taking all these pills constantly he's like that what is it ah ah called when you're like an hypochondriac hypochondriac that's different
00:55:19
Speaker
bobiac that's different
00:55:23
Speaker
And all 30 people involved in this chase all get thrown into the courtroom all at once. All four bags get thrown on his desk. And he's like, somebody explain this to me. And of course nobody can because Ryan O'Neill's character can't communicate anything because he's yeah stammering and, and, double questioning himself and going back back to the beginning where that doesn't make sense and you're like come on dude howard none of that is relevant information like some aspirin um and and she's and she's my fiancee and my not wife and the woman who's not neither is neither my wife nor my fiancee and the judge is like i don't understand any of this barbara streisand's like hiding under a blanket yep And everyone's trying to explain it. Nobody can. And he's finally, ah he's like, we're going to straighten this out one way another. And he's like, you under the blanket, what's your name? And she ah pulls open the blanket she's like, hi, dad. And he's like, yeah Judy. Judy.
00:56:19
Speaker
There's a beautiful little button on this. Yeah. um And then we are at the airport. Yeah. And everybody is back at the everyone um airport. back the airport. Eunice and um big old money guy getting
Eunice and Mr. Larrabee's Compatibility
00:56:35
Speaker
together. Larrabee.
00:56:36
Speaker
Yes. He's like, Eunice I have been spending a lot of time, spent a lot of time together being held hostage in the back of that car. And we've grown to to have a lot in common. And he's like, that's a but that makes sense. Goodbye, Eunice. um But this is... So... um Mr. Simon got the grant because of all of the chaos. But then that's when Babs, like, using her geology knowledge, ah proves him to be a plagiarist. And so they give the money back to Ryan O'Neill. Yep. The woman with the jewels is like...
00:57:08
Speaker
Oh, yeah, I was going to say, well, first, he's just like, she's like, I'm so sorry that yeah I lost you $20,000. You know, if I pay you back $10 once a month, ill I'll pay you back in about 34 years.
00:57:22
Speaker
yeah And that's when the old the lady with the jewels comes up and she goes, well, as you all know that there was a $20,000 reward on my jewels. And everyone's like, no, we had no idea there was a reward on your jewels. And she goes, well, here are all the expenses I'm deducting from said $20,000. And she lists out all of the damages that have been done to the city of San Francisco.
00:57:45
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, all the cars that got to get pulled out of the harbor, like the paint of glass was $1,600. She goes and itemized lists she's like, I paid all of these things. So I took it out of your reward. So here's 50 bucks. That's what's left.
00:57:57
Speaker
Well, and then she's like, 50 bucks, and then it's going to be split by you and you and then the other, like, three guys, so everybody gets $10. Yes, right, right, right, yeah. Yeah. um ah It's um classic comedy, and then that's when the spy the FBI agent has the documents, and the spy is somehow not thrown and thrown in jail, and he goes after him with the biggest, like, like seriously, like, five-foot-long wire cutters. That he's keeping in his jacket.
00:58:25
Speaker
Yeah. um To get that, the the the jewel lady has like private security with her, and um he he gets his he gets his check, and he's going back to Iowa, and then Judy's disappeared.
00:58:39
Speaker
Yeah, he's no longer at the airport, and he's very sad because he doesn't have Eunice anymore because Eunice... understandably is with someone who understands her better and won't deny her. Who sees her as a woman.
00:58:51
Speaker
Who sees her as a woman and not just a Eunice. And so he's on he's on the ah on the plane and they start playing the in-flight movie, which I didn't realize they had in-flight movies in the movie too. they had They project her on the on the movie. Well then, how about that?
00:59:08
Speaker
And he starts playing Bugs Bunny. um And then you just hear in the background, you hear... Barbara Streisand talking to her, um, being the most obnoxious person you can sit next to on an airplane and just talking at a lady that she's sitting next to who's got her earphones, it her headphones in, um, her earphones. And is not listening to her, but she's explained that she's going to try out another college. She's going to try out this college in Iowa where she's going major in musicology. And she's going to study under this one professor that she's very excited to study under, which hopefully she doesn't because then that's problematic.
00:59:45
Speaker
It problematic. and I think she's just hoping he'll ah she'll ah he'll overhear her. Yeah, which he does. Yeah. And he, he says, do you know, did you know that I love you? And she goes, yeah, you can't fight a tidal wave. So I'm like, that's, that's very appropriate. And he says that he's sorry. And she says, love means never having to say you're sorry. And he goes, and that's the dumbest thing I ever heard, which is like,
01:00:09
Speaker
Love story found dead in the middle of the street. Like, absolutely bodied. Again, the movie came out two years ago. It's still a phenomenon. It would be like if Robert Pattinson made some movie a year after Twilight and was like, vampires are so fucking stupid. You know? like yes Yeah. i mean, love it. You love a good homage.
01:00:33
Speaker
Like being like a little wink, tongue in cheek. Yeah. um And they make out to Bugs Bunny. And then we have Porky Pig saying, that's all, folks. And over the credits, they're singing You're the Top as a duet.

Speaker

Oh, when Eunice finds him in the bathtub, finds the bathtub full of bubble bath and she goes, you were going to take a bubble bath. You've never taken a bubble bath in your life.
