Introduction and Setup
00:00:01
Speaker
um We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you some breaking news. There's been reports all over the area of something crazy going on. Something big. People's homes, their minds even, are being taken over by something called, what is it they're calling it? They're calling it Bad Movie ja Debate.
00:00:19
Speaker
What up nerds? It's me, Jacob Badd, from Bad Movie Debate here for another debate episode. This one's going to be funny, question mark? I don't know. You tell me. hey say Say hey. Say hey, Sam.
00:00:31
Speaker
Say hey, Sam. Hey, I'm Sam. Hell yeah. It worked. We did
Exploring 90s Slapstick Comedies
00:00:37
Speaker
it. um Okay, so today we are going to be talking about Biodome, the Pauly Shore whoever else is in this movie. Stephen steve Baldwin, which I didn't even know there was that many Baldwins.
00:00:51
Speaker
Did you know? I know that there's a Stephen Baldwin, but who where was he in this movie? i like He was the second character. The main the two dummies. With the weird little tits. With like the dreads. The frosted dreads.
00:01:04
Speaker
Holy shit, though, I did not realize that that was him. I knew it was like, yeah, that's Pauly Shore. yeah Which i haven't seen lot of his. Which honestly, between the two of them, I think Pauly Shore is the the talent oh being silly.
00:01:18
Speaker
he's like He's like the king king of silly. Yeah, he was definitely like the lead out of the two. Yeah. And Baldwin was just kind of was like kind of bouncing off of him. He was. It worked. Yeah.
00:01:29
Speaker
But yeah, Pauly Shore was definitely the lead. So yeah, we're doing Biozone. um So you know we're going to go over ratings and reviews and all that. and But first... We're going to our top five slapstick comedies of the ninety s because that's exactly what this movie is and it's nothing else but that. This movie is insane.
00:01:50
Speaker
But I think there's some pros that go along with that. um yeah has like It has that feel to it, but we'll we'll get into that more. um So what are your top five slapstick comedies?
00:02:02
Speaker
So as I've gotten older, I feel like I don't like slapstick as much. Like, I feel like, oh, maturity has hit. Like, this is cringy as hell. But I did, when I was looking back at all the different 90s slapstick movies, I was like, wow, i actually watched a lot of these.
00:02:17
Speaker
Yeah, same. And I was like, hmm, how do I pick a favorite? Yeah, was like, wow. Like, i was like, because I was like 10 minutes into Biodome and i was like, oh, shit. Like, I need to find, like, my comedies. Yeah. I was like, like if there's even five, and I was like, damn, I gotta like narrow it down.
00:02:33
Speaker
I was like, damn, I've seen a lot of these, and really like lot of these. I guess because whenre when we're younger, you know, it's like we just want to lean into that silliness, and I feel like how many Mountain Dews did I drink while I was, you know, watching these? And I can't even drink one Mountain Dew without that yeah wanting to throw up now.
00:02:50
Speaker
ah no it's insane But no, my top, i okay, so my number one, and I think this is probably because of how I grew up, but Tommy Boy. oh yeah. I love Chris Farley and David Spade. Really, David Spade, I could watch anything, but like their duo together. That's a really good one. like that's really They're very much like um kind of like the dynamic that Pauly Shore and them have. They have the same energy for sure. yeah you just like to and what's the It's been so long since I've seen it, but that scene, new guy's in the corner puking his guts That phrase, I use that phrase all the time, and I probably haven't actually watched that movie in 10 years.
00:03:29
Speaker
ten years right or like the big guy in a little coat and rips it like such a classic line oh yeah holy shnikey yeah oh my gosh holy shnikey oh my gosh god uh chris farley yeah r.i.p. he was one of the best yes he's one of the best Speaking of another good one, though. Yeah. Another good one,
Spotlight on Ben Stiller
00:03:52
Speaker
though. Another good actor, Ben Stiller. I feel like he was in a lot of these oh plastic ones.
00:03:56
Speaker
um And um something about Mary was one of like my faves. yeah Did you ever watch that one? I i don't think so. It's one of the ones that I've like, there's no way i haven't. But when I like see clips or like people talk about it, I'm like, i don't maybe I haven't. So I don't think i have. I mean, it's not as slapstick as some, but like basically the premise is like Ben Stiller gets the super hot Cameron Diaz as his prom date, goes to pick her up and he goes to the bathroom and then he zips his wee-wee up in his zipper.
00:04:24
Speaker
And that's how the movie starts. And then it's like to fast forward and he's trying to get her back. And it's kind of like this. That's where it becomes kind of like more slapstick because it's like,
00:04:37
Speaker
He's competing with this other guy. But right yeah really good. i Highly recommend it. Also, just anything with Cameron Diaz I could watch all day. got Cameron Diaz one on. yeah Also, on the Ben Stiller kick, Heavyweights was on there. Okay, i when I Googled it, that came up and I was like... I was like...
00:04:53
Speaker
I was kind of surprised, but then I kind of thought about it, and I was like, yeah i was like just because there's like the main cast as kids doesn't mean it can't be schlapstick. Exactly. Yeah, I would say that. fault like movie And like Ben Stiller, I didn't realize like played the same type of character in Dodgeball. Exactly, dude. I was just about to say, I've seen people be like, like that's the same guy, right? He just changed his name and then like started this Dodgeball gym and stuff. like like They're one and the same. He's just like,
00:05:24
Speaker
I can't remember how heavyweights is, but like he like may or may not have committed crimes at that camp. Oh, 1000%. And then, yeah. Okay. And it's also cringy as heck too. Oh yeah. It's super cringy. I mean, the entire premise is insane. yeah Like it only could be made in the nineties, but, uh,
00:05:39
Speaker
Which is why it's a treasure. And I do like that movie, even though it's kind of wild. um But yeah, I like that theory that it's the same guy. He just moved to a different city and changed his name, changed his look. but he's because it's He's literally the same energy. yeah He didn't have to practice for that character at all. he' like He's like, I'll just pick this right back. I don't know when Dodgeball came out. Was it after Heavyweights? I think it was. Yeah, that was like mid-aughts.
00:06:02
Speaker
Maybe like 2005 or 2006 or something like that. five or six or like the like So he's already had good practice. That's why he was so good at dodgeball. I remember watching it middle school.
00:06:14
Speaker
like In middle school. lot Not even high school. Because it was a Disney movie. We watching it on Disney Channel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. No, think Dodgeball came out in 2005 is what I'm saying. Oh, yeah, yeah. But I think Heavyweights was early 2000s. Yeah, they're 1995.
00:06:30
Speaker
Okay, yeah. Oh, yeah. wrote down there. The year I was born. Yeah, it's a good year. So, love that movie. I saw a $5 bill the other day come through my cash register, and it was from 1997. Yeah.
00:06:42
Speaker
was like, wow, I haven't seen a bill like this. And I'm like, wow, am I old for being like, wow, I haven't seen a bill like this. I saw a 20 come through the other day, and we have some pretty young coworkers, and she was like, that looks weird. And I'm like, no, it doesn't. like, no, that looks like childhood. looks like childhood. Shut the fuck up. You idiot. I'm almost 30. Shut up. Leave me alone.
Adam Sandler's Touch on Slapstick
00:07:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:07
Speaker
ah man and heavyweights yeah yeah love heavyweights heavy um ah but also like ah well the last two are another two like great actors for this series like for this era but um is an Adam Sandler movie a Big Daddy yeah I don't feel like that's as slapstick as some of the slapstick like of the Adam Sandler ones that was my fave slapstick of Adam Sandler yeah you know cause like There are some of his that are really lean really lean into it, and they're don't get me wrong.
00:07:41
Speaker
But that one's that one's less... There's more story to it. Yeah, yeah the plot is isn't just kind of like random bullshit yeah it's like more wholesome yeah it's more wholesome and there's like a bit there's like actually a message yes yes there's actually a message and stuff like that that's like you can actually like glean something from that movie uh but when the humor comes it comes in a slapstick kind of format i would say so yeah great movie though love that one and then um last one is a uh jim carrey liar liar Damn.
00:08:12
Speaker
That's such a good movie. I mean, anything 90s Jim Carrey is going be slapstick across the board. So the the craziest thing, with no overlap. I don't think I have any of those online. I thought for sure that we would have overlap. Which just shows how many there are and how many good ones there are. But also, I'm a female, you're a male. I grew up with an older sister and a younger brother. So all the ones that I watch when I watch these movies, I was with my friend's older siblings.
00:08:38
Speaker
Fair. I was like not hanging out with my family. Right. And they were all like girls, like older girls. So I wonder if that has something to with I only have the one older sister, but watch these movies by myself.
00:08:53
Speaker
I watch every single one of these movies by myself. think my sister may have watched a couple of them, yeah but just because. you yeah Honestly, my sister and I, what we mostly watched is after my parents went to sleep.
00:09:06
Speaker
So back in the day, for the youngins out there. So back in the day, the only thing, the only kind of streaming you had was Comcast and there was on-demand movies you could do at home, right? Where if you had the box, you'd go and there'd be free movie channels and you could watch those.
00:09:23
Speaker
There was one called FearNet. where it was just a bunch of, I'm talking like Z list horror movies, like some of the worst, dumbest, just absolute garbage horror movies.
00:09:35
Speaker
um And we would stay up late and watch like two or three of those ah night and just like shit on them because they were so bad. Oh, I love that. Which is crazy, though, because my sister does not fuck with horror in any shape, form, or fashion now, and I'm deeply up obsessed with it.
00:09:51
Speaker
Yeah. Still to this day. But we literally just watched it and laughed. Went to different directions. And, like, we were just like, yeah, it's one of the free channels. Like, this one sounds dumb. Like, let's go. Like, kind of honestly, kind of like what we're doing right now. Yeah. Like, you know, like, and everything. So I watched those. All these comedy movies. Yeah.
00:10:10
Speaker
All me by myself just being fucking like middle school kid. be like And all the dumb jokes. What was the number one for you?
Jim Carrey and Other 90s Icons
00:10:19
Speaker
Number one. So I don't know if I have a number one.
00:10:22
Speaker
It's hard. What's tied? What's your tie? So I think.
00:10:28
Speaker
My two number ones that came up. i looked at a few lists and obviously there was repeat. But again, as we just as we just established, there's a ton of these. Because we're about to say completely different movies.
00:10:41
Speaker
um The Mask. Oh, The Mask. That's the Cameron Diaz one. the mask is absolutely incredible very good and just the entire story it's just so weird you but in a but there's also so much slapstick humor to it yeah that it's like classic you know um so i absolutely love that one and then uh there's a special place in my heart for wayne's world i thought about putting that one on my list i it's another one very like the same type of dynamic of
00:11:14
Speaker
silliness. The two characters being super, super silly the whole time. It's just ridiculous. they're just like improv-ing almost like... Right. Well, they just did like entire bits. Like, they did like Like, when they're doing the... Like, they weren't taking themselves too seriously. And that's why I really like that one. Because um the scene where he's, like... ah He goes to play Stairway to Heaven.
00:11:37
Speaker
guy's like, hey! and he points to the sign and says, no stairway. That was a bit because they couldn't afford to get the rights to Stairway to Heaven to play in the movie. So, like, that they literally made that entire bit where they both look at the camera and go, bogus! Like...
00:11:52
Speaker
because like they were like oh we can't get the rights that it's just writing this quick little bit like like talking like like and so i was like they're just not even taking it that serious but it plays just super well so yeah the mask and ace ventura not ace ventura but wayne's world ace ventura is also on my list because i also love that detective it's so funny that one's a good one it's so funny i hate his fucking hair and just everything about him his entire persona i think it's the first one yeah when he's opening and shutting but the thing just like screaming like oh like just the entire all that stuff jim carrey is just amazing they're just so silly yeah um and then i've got happy gilmore that's my adam sandler one okay i was debating between that and billy madison but happy gilmore i think just
00:12:43
Speaker
I don't know. That one just has a little bit of a leg up for some reason. it might because Carl Weathers is in it and he's incredible with his fucking hand. It's absolutely insane. Happy Gilmore is great and there's a lot of like people that pop up in there which is awesome but that one I think just is a little bit better.
00:13:00
Speaker
um And then my last one because I would be remiss to not put if we're gonna go not like I was looking at 90s specifically. I'd be remiss to put Robin Hood Men in Tights, the Mel Brooks Robin Hood slapstick movie.
00:13:16
Speaker
I admittedly have never watched it. So you've seen, um, oh my God, why am I blanking? Like the princess bride. Okay. Yes. So very similar. Princess bride, the, um, dread pirate Roberts plays Robin hood in this movie. That's perfect. And it's literally just the story of Robin hood and like all his merry men and stuff like doing their thing done by the guy who did space balls.
00:13:44
Speaker
okay i need to watch it yes so it's really called robin hood men in tights i love that it's so freaking good it's not mel brooks's best one but it was like but he he was doing slapstick like i mean space balls was in the 80s young frankenstein like was yeah like way older than all this like there is like biodome and all these other movies um are nothing without mel brooks you know it's very true so i was like it's like i gotta put i was like and that one came out in the 90s because i was trying to limit to the 90s especially after i was looking and i was like holy shit there's so many from across multiple decades that i literally like right i'll go 90s i'll go 90s only to narrow it down special shout out though to austin powers um i was very close i didn't know which one to pick though like first one genuinely First one, International Man of Mystery is the best one. All of them are good. Yeah.
00:14:38
Speaker
but I don't watched a lot of Goldmember. Goldmember is great. You got Beyonce in there. It's incredible. You get Michael Caine as the dad and like you find out that they're brothers and stuff. like Great lore in that one.
00:14:50
Speaker
But... That first one is just so good with the FemBots. Oh my god, they're so good. she I'll never forget that. It's absolutely up absurd. And then the twist.
00:15:02
Speaker
Spoiler alert. Shocker. um ah You find out she's FemBot too the entire time. They all so good trick you. So good. No, I love it. So good.
00:15:14
Speaker
um Okay, so we know our slapstick movies, I would say. and i agree. So Biodome though. This one's... Did you look at the Rotten Tomatoes? Yeah, I know. I saw it today, actually.
Critiquing 'Biodome'
00:15:27
Speaker
that really, really rough.
00:15:30
Speaker
Would you say it's the roughest that you've done the podcast? think this might be the lowest score, especially for the tomato meter. it's definitely It's not the lowest popcorn meter one, like the audience score, but it's definitely it's also the lowest IMDB and the lowest Metacritic score I've ever done across the board.
00:15:50
Speaker
But, like, okay. It's insane. I'm not, like, a huge, like, i'm I'm arguing against the movie or whatever. We're discussing it. But I still i still love Slapstick. I love the movie. Yeah, of course. I think it deserves more than four. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I was going to.
00:16:04
Speaker
Like, for sure. And it was movie. feel like it wasn't long. didn't drag or anything. So, yeah. So, I think it deserves more than the four yeah that it got on Rotten Tomatoes. Four.
00:16:15
Speaker
It got a fucking... for on the tomato meter. The audience score, which is now apparently the popcorn meter, was a 51, which i've done lower than I've done lower than audience scores is 51. So audience ah does think it deserves more than that. Audience is like pretty 50-50 like it's ass or like Or like, yeah, it was fun.
00:16:36
Speaker
You know? Yeah. Like, so, that's not bad. IMDB, who is literally always between 5.8 and, like, 7.1, 4.4. seven point one four point four Wow,
00:16:52
Speaker
Really low for IMDB. He was usually, like, down the road, in the middle, impartial yeah about everything. Now, Metacritic. know. So before I say this number for their critic score, their critic scores, their critic scores are out of 100, like out of percent at like a percentage. So like out of 100. And then their user score is like out of 10. So they kind of combine the Rotten Tomatoes thing and the IMDB thing. And that's how they do it.
00:17:20
Speaker
So I'm going to do the user score first because the critic score is wild. User score 3.7 out of 10. So yeah pretty bad. They're usually harsher over on Metacritic. like There's no doubt about that.
00:17:32
Speaker
their critic score one oh poor paulie short i literally looked at it and was like i had to go i went to the home page of metacritic when i looked it up to be like i thought that was out of 100 not out of 10 and like the first thing that came up was like wicked like on their home page and it was like 92 and i was like you're like it is out of 100 oh it is out of 100 it's just That's just how rough. Metacritic wants this movie off streaming. They're like, you need ah this needs to go die. i mean...
00:18:06
Speaker
like I had to rent it. was It wasn't it. like You can't watch it for free. like You have to pay to watch this. Oh, no. You should have just come over to my house. i Wait, you own this movie? No. Oh, okay. a Wink.
00:18:21
Speaker
um Fair enough. um So, yeah, that was just insane. I was like, I legitimately was like, I've been doing this for a while. I'm pretty sure it's out of 100 for the Metacritic. But yeah, literally a one. A one. So this is definitely the lowest movie that I've ever had to do. But is it low or is it high?
00:18:38
Speaker
Is it number one, though? Because it's one, does it mean it actually is number one? No, because... I don't think they would put like Wicked at 92. 92 was bad. you know like and it was Maybe they just don't like musicals. Well, the score was also really... like or Not the score, but the um like the ah graphic was bright red one.
00:18:59
Speaker
And the 92 is bright green. Like happy. Like a hard stop. Red mean stop. Yeah, you're right. That's unfortunate. Yeah, it was pretty rough. yeah it was is And to further that point.
00:19:15
Speaker
So, so I like to do a good quote, bad quote, right? Like, uh, my favorites are the bad quotes, which there was a ton of. Um, um so the good quote, this is my favorite good quote that I've ever done.
00:19:27
Speaker
It comes from Rob Blackwelder for Spliced Wire. The only positive review i could find on IMDb. I usually do the top critics only, meaning that they're like people who work for like papers or like online things and stuff.
00:19:43
Speaker
I had to go to all to find somebody. So Spliced Wire, I don't know what it is. It's not as fancy as the New York Times. Like, so it's not top critic status.
00:19:55
Speaker
Three out of five. it That's it. That's it. Literally no. There's no quote. There is no, i clicked like read full review. but there there is It's not hyperlinked to a full review. It's just this guy Rob said three out of five, which is where the 4% comes from because every other one is a splat.
00:20:18
Speaker
Every other review out of like the like 30 or so on Rotten Tomatoes is a bad review. Wow. So this is my favorite one because there's literally no words. This is just literally a bad movie me. z iss like there's usually where the quote is, it's blank.
00:20:34
Speaker
And then underneath, it's like, read full review, like some ah this, that, that. And then it's like, their rating. And it literally just says three out of five.
00:20:45
Speaker
Wow. No comment. Yeah. we're really gonna make you listeners want to watch this movie yeah it's insane um but the bad quote plenty to choose from there and coincidentally this does come from the new york times uh this is steven holden ah who said quote inept in almost every respect end quote My favorite kind of bad review.
00:21:09
Speaker
Short, sweet, brutal as hell. Just absolutely inept. Like, the acting, the cinematography, the plot, everything was terrible in this entire movie.
00:21:22
Speaker
And I... Love that comment. That's so good. I love it so much. It's so bad, but it's so Those kind of comments make me so happy. um So yeah, that's what we're working with here. it's really i believe I feel like before we do these podcasts, um like we need to prepare a our own review.
00:21:44
Speaker
like our own like like posting it like quickly look if somebody was goingnna like yeah post If we were going to post something on there, what review would you get? What would I say? Well, you wouldn't. I mean, obviously, don't have to put you on the right now. But I'm saying like in the future, in the future. Yeah. I feel like that would be like. Give me your critic. Your critic review. Your critic review quote. Yeah. Okay. That's interesting. Yeah.
00:22:06
Speaker
That'd be fun. Okay, cool. We'll do that going forward. As we were just being critics. We are critics. We literally are. are our critics, yeah. We are criticizing this movie. Exactly. Which is really hard to do because it's good.
00:22:16
Speaker
Because i'm I'm defending it. I know. I really gave you a good one defend. I literally Googled it as it was starting up and I was like, holy shit, 4%. No, well, I was like, oh my God. It's hard. It's hard because i like I like the movie, but I know it's a bad movie. So i was like, it could be fun to defend like defend but It was better than I thought. yeah I will say that proudly. but I enjoyed it a lot more.
00:22:41
Speaker
but and think it would be yeah I think it was more fun to to say it's bad. Absolutely. You mean easier. ah Easier to to say it's bad.
00:22:54
Speaker
It's fine. so To get kind of get the just you know general conversation flowing. ah You're saying it's bad. I'm saying it's good. What's something you really don't like?
00:23:09
Speaker
or Or rather, what's something you do like about this movie? And i will I'm used to doing it the other way. I know, I know. I'm usually attacking. So what's something you do like about this movie or like that what you thought was like a positive?
00:23:20
Speaker
And I'll say something that is a negative just to kind of get a spitball here. I feel like the thing I really do like about the movie is the amount of energy that they put into it.
00:23:33
Speaker
So like Pauly Shore alone is just like his own enigma. um And you have to watch the movie. ah he He actually has his own podcast now. It started in 2023. And he's still this. He's like the same guy.
00:23:46
Speaker
He's his. yeah his ah Yeah. but Anyway, I'm going off a tangent, but. My favorite thing is that he brings so much energy and the soundtrack brings so much energy. Soundtrack great. And it's like constantly just like boop, boop, boop, you know? And then before you know it, it's over. Yeah, I was kind of shocked. You're kind of along for a ride. It was a good hour 30. Yeah.
00:24:05
Speaker
but it felt it was a good hour thirty yeah Plus or minus. like yeah Yeah. No, I agree with that. The energy of the movie, it's very upbeat. And even when, like, as with all slapstick, like, even when, like, the, like, oh, no, everything's going wrong, we gotta fix it moment, like, it was still, like, moving at a good pace. Yeah. We didn't get bogged down in, like, the, like...
00:24:26
Speaker
oh, we're going to be real sad. And like everything's gone real bad for like a long time. Right. Which I think is good for this kind of movie. Yeah, because it's pretty cringy. Yeah. Because when you don't want to live you don't want to live in the cringe for too long. No, exactly. That's never good.
00:24:40
Speaker
um But I would agree with that, especially with the soundtrack thing. like ah Yeah. The soundtrack was a lot of fun. um I will say. um So two things now, because that did remind me of something. So the title sequence.
00:24:53
Speaker
i hated i hated the title sequence with all the random like like ah like just random cuts of like random bullshit. like They did do that. and it was The reason I hate it is is because like here's an entire punk song.
00:25:12
Speaker
You know what i mean? Yeah. They literally played an entire two and a half minute punk It is a long intro. And let it play while they did all the opening credits. Isn't that a thing they did, though, in the 90s? So, yeah, it was more of a thing because like it would get like you know like music out. like You could listen to the entire song on a soundtrack doing that.
00:25:31
Speaker
And before you could, like, fast forward through it, like, you had to sit there and wait. You would sit there and watch it. Yeah, exactly. Because, like, if you wanted to go see this movie in theaters, you obviously can't fast forward. But then, like, in the 90s, like, you have to wait for the tape to come out. Yeah. But, like, you don't want to miss the new movie, whatever it is. So, like, yeah, there would be extended ones for that. But this one...
00:25:52
Speaker
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I don't like punk music. don't Don't get it twisted. Just the images and stuff were just like so intense. and like I was just like, okay. my A little overwhelming. Yeah, it was very overwhelming for working a 10-hour shift and having to wake up to go oh like to doing a clope-in.
00:26:13
Speaker
I watched it last night and I was like, like fuck, man, I got a clope. This is way too much energy. but I got to bed like almost as soon as this movie is over. You should have watched it to pregame for your next thing. like you know like right that's a good I feel like that's a good movie to like put on when you're pre-gating with your friends. Perfect background movie. You'll be popping at any moment and you'll know what's happening. yeah Which is a good thing.
00:26:33
Speaker
It So that just kind of was... Maybe bad timing on my part, but literally the first thing I wrote down was like, this intro's too long and I'm stressed. First thing I wrote down.
00:26:47
Speaker
um But also, the thing I really, really do not like about this movie, I do not like the SA joke, the sexual assault joke. That's where the cringe, yeah. with Like, that was really cringey. It was not okay then. It's not okay now. But, like, yeah apparently in the 90s you could get away with that and, like, put out a movie in theaters yeah and make that, like, a comedy and and stuff. Like, when they, um the first night when they're like, oh, I can't sleep, like, in this fucking closet when they get stuck in the biodome.
00:27:20
Speaker
And they're like, oh, like, we gotta to go find a bed. And they go into, like, the... but The female scientist. but Yeah. Like, it's not like, like if they had just gone in and like, like snuggled up and stuff like, and like went to sleep and then they yelled and like kicked them out and stuff.
00:27:35
Speaker
Okay. Not great, but better. Yeah. But they like, You know, like they like they're creepy and they do. They were being creepy. They do weird stuff. And I was like, i literally had to be like, it's the If it doesn't go any further than that, they don't keep doing that.
00:27:50
Speaker
Okay. But like, yeah, I just hated that. I had to like be like. I hate like you know what I mean like I had to forgive it because of when it came out you know what I mean exactly and like that was a bummer for sure and it doesn't happen again like nothing like really happens like that again like they're trying to like get with the scientists and stuff but it's in a much more like tasteful I mean as tasteful as this movie can be like right manner but like you know what i mean so I did not like that um but only happened once it was in the I'm not trying to forgive it it's not right but it is what it is
00:28:22
Speaker
Yep. Can't anything about it. So bad writing by whoever wrote this movie. The whole movie is bad. Bad. But. But.
00:28:34
Speaker
Entertaining, I'd say. Alright, thank you for listening. It's over, dear. Do you ever give like do you give like the the spiel on what the movie was about so that the like the listeners know what we're
The Plot and Humor of 'Biodome'
00:28:45
Speaker
talking about? Or do you think that people like just know what movie we're talking about? so I feel like I talk a lot. I feel like not a lot of people know this movie. I feel like this movie, because I've never seen I know of it, and I know it's like...
00:28:55
Speaker
like the basic yeah premise you know but like yeah why don't you hit us with that in a more in-depth thing because feel like out of any polyshore movie this is one of the most random because encino mans is number one with uh brendan frazier where they um where they're a caveman, but then they, like, come back alive in the 90s because they're, like, frozen in ice or some shit. Like, that's Brendan Fraser and Pauly Shore. So that's, like, his number one movie, yeah obviously. So everybody's seen that one. yeah There's another one called In the Army that's apparently like not that bad. but
00:29:27
Speaker
But I feel like this one's, like, lower tier. So, yeah, why don't you go ahead and hit us with the, like, what the fuck are we even talking about? right, so this is just, like, the Wikipedia, but...
00:29:38
Speaker
Bud and Doyle get simultaneously dumped by their eco-conscious girlfriends, Monique and Jen, in the middle of the desert. Needing a bathroom, the two friends enter what they think is a mall. but soon realize it's a high-profile, secure biological experiment.
00:29:52
Speaker
As they engage in a year-long battle with the Dr. Faulkner and the other scientists, Bud and Doyle are forced to confront recklessness of their behavior. This is a very nice way of saying what movie It's a very nice way of putting It's like, oh, they stuck in this biodome. They grew up. Yeah, and then there's a theme and actually a message. there's themes and morals. I feel like there's not at all, to be fair. I found some that are not that, and we'll talk about later. That's fair.
00:30:16
Speaker
But, um ah yeah, that's a very nice way of putting it. They're literally trying to... What does he say? He's trying to win their girlfriends They're trying to win their girlfriends back because they're like, they don't give a shit about the environment, but the girlfriends Yeah, but they're super hot. But they're super hot. So they're like, gotta get back together with them. They're dumb. They're like, they're gonna leave us for these swimmers because they're so bad. They get a phone call. They're like, yeah, these Arizona Tech swimmers. They're like, not these fucking swimmers, dude. Like, hell no. Yeah.
00:30:44
Speaker
And so they trick him, blah, blah, blah. But yeah, they're literally like, he's like, I got to go pee. And he's like, oh, stop at this new mall that's opening up. And then he throws a firecracker so they can sneak in Yeah. like Which is, you know, arguably an act of terror.
00:30:58
Speaker
Right. Yeah. On a major thing. People are like, shots, shots. People are freaking out, dude. And they just have firecrackers on them, too. Okay. So I did write that down. Because when they were going to like first try to meet the girlfriends at like the lake that's no longer a lake and it's full of trash. This is like an eco like like statement from the girlfriends.
00:31:22
Speaker
He says as they're driving, he says, it's not like we don't care about the environment too. And then he throws, Pauly Shore throws a firecracker out the window. and then it cuts to what's obviously a fake rabbit.
00:31:33
Speaker
And it lands next to the fake rack fake ah fake rabbit and it blows up. Like no blood or guts or anything. But it's just like, obviously we we care about the environment. Flows up. And a rabbit just explodes. and so Which is a pretty funny bit. But, um yeah, so he has firecrackers on him. It's established. Yeah. That's all I'm saying.
00:31:54
Speaker
doesn't just randomly have them. Well. He brought them from home. and has the lighter and ready for mayhem. Okay, okay. There's no way these two don't have a lighter on them at all times. Yeah, that's a very good point.
00:32:05
Speaker
Well, are they stoners or are they just chronically insane? Chronically insane? I don't even know what the right word is. They are. They're chronically insane. They're just insane.
00:32:16
Speaker
Chronically. Wink. You get what I'm saying? Chronic. Chronic. Yeah, exactly. ah People still call it chronic? like I mean. don't know. I don't. should have said that. But I know what you're talking about.
00:32:31
Speaker
Because we're 30. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, dude. dar Dr. the chronic. Great album. Yeah. Yeah, but they're chronically insane. um They drink a lot. That's for sure. Yeah. It's like kind of like what they do all the time.
00:32:43
Speaker
um Which is fine. We're drinking right now. Yeah. But yeah, I just thought that was funny. Like, so he does have firecrackers. He blows up. He does that as distraction so they can sneak in. Because they're like, why won't you let us in this fucking mall? And like, which is kind of one of those things with any slapstick movie, and this is a negative thing about all of them.
00:33:02
Speaker
Literally, all that guy had to do, the security guard, instead of like flexing his authority and being a douche, ah like mall cops usually are, he could have just been like, this is not a mall.
00:33:16
Speaker
This is a, he could have explained what it was. Even if they didn't fully understand it, he could have been like, this is not a mall. This is not a bathroom. This not a public place that you can come and find a bathroom. If you go that over here, that's where a bathroom is. You know what mean? Because there was an event going on, like like like the like op like the first day of going into the bio-dow. They should have had the doors locked. a people. The doors should have been locked where they couldn't come in until the actual people needed to go in. was kind of the whole point. The homeostasis was the whole point.
00:33:46
Speaker
And I know I'm supposed to be defending this movie, but this is just this is kind of a critique on slapstick in general. Yeah, it's true. Obviously, it's not part of the point, you know, of like what slapstick movies are supposed to do. um It could have been like, there's porta-potties over there. I had to imagine there's porta-potties for these fucking, all these guests who were coming for it. Yeah, they were all coming for the ribbon-cutting, yeah. Yeah, the ribbon-cutting, like the reporters and stuff there. There had to have been a bathroom they could he could have directed them to. But instead, he went...
00:34:13
Speaker
Get fuck out of here, you fucking idiots. Yeah. I'm strong. I'm better than you. I'm better than you because I'm getting paid to guard this today. Because I'm a mall cop. yeah you know like so alma All of the mall cops can be convinced to do something else. They always have a distraction for somewhere else.
00:34:31
Speaker
Exactly. Granted, this the firecracker, pretty big distraction. Very big distraction. Very, very fair. very But why wouldn't they have more security guards? But that's the point. i mean again that Again, that's part of what saying.
00:34:44
Speaker
It's just the nature of... ah slapstick comedy. Think of Happy... Not Happy Gilmore. Happy Gilmore makes a little more sense. ah Billy Madison. Yeah. The plot of that movie is insane.
00:34:56
Speaker
Why would anybody anywhere ever agree to that? Like him, he has to take every single grade over again so he can like... What is it? Take over his father's company? yeah like Is that what it is? It's been a while since I've seen it. Like...
00:35:12
Speaker
Why? Like, that's insane. But nobody questions that. So, like, I guess no no logic. Like, if you argue this movie is good or bad, you can't even use logic because timing, being in the 90s, you know, very cringeworthy hundred events.
00:35:31
Speaker
And then, like, just the whole premise of Slapstick not being... like not making sense as opposed to it's both the whole point of that's a comedy which is why as you get older it becomes like way less attractive to you because you're like ah this isn't real you know but then oh yeah when you watch it back over you're like ah so dumb i wish i could just be innocent and like silly right um and dumb and just like not give a shit but at the same time like you watch these like serious topics like the ecosystem the climate change you know and they're like which again yeah get to it we'll get to it because yeah it's my saving grace saving about this movie um i did think the um i did think the uh like main investor um him kind of like saving face because again at the beginning we did not know that there was a back door
00:36:23
Speaker
you know yeah like that you could actually like unlock and like come in and out and stuff the the doors were like he was what do you say like a hundred million dollars yeah which like i mean today that's a lot of money but the 90s that's a shit ton of money yeah in the ninety s so obviously he's like he spent a bunch of money and so like he put those doors could not open for any reason that was like part of like the whole shtick of the biodome I think he did have a good save with being like, these guys are here to introduce chaos theory because you can't have a perfect... war like Exactly. world's not perfect. You can't account for everything.
00:37:05
Speaker
So these guys are here to disrupt, and here they are already doing it. That was on the fly. hate that shit up. I was like, that is a perfectly normal, sane... That's a genius cover. Everybody didn't care. yeah Everybody was like... like wow That's a great idea. Like, wow, they're thinking about chaos theory with all the, like, biology and, like, I can't ever remember, like, the bug stuff and, like, all the, like, ecology and stuff. They're like, like wow, they're thinking of everything. i was like, that's a pretty good save for, like, the, like, beginning of this movie.
00:37:43
Speaker
I agree. Because I was like, they're literally going in there they're just going to get stuck and they're not going to be able just pop them out. But then he says that and I was like, that's actually... a good way to like force them to stay there you know like looking at like like narrative and structure of like a movie to like tell the like and like storytelling and stuff i was like that's pretty pretty solid actually yeah like like that like and like you know dude's fucking rich so he's got to be decently smart he comes up with shit on the fly to like fix problems so i mean he is a leprechaun wait what
00:38:16
Speaker
Don't you remember? it the Sorry. Different movie, but the same actor. Same actor plays in the leprechaun movie, the Disney Channel one. Look of the Irish? Yeah.
00:38:27
Speaker
He's the leprechaun in Look of the Irish? Isn't the investor guy? The investor guy with the white hair. He's short. oh my God. Yeah, no, I know. the i have to look this up. I'm so curious. Leprechauns are sneaky. They know how to.
00:38:41
Speaker
I mean, you're not wrong about that. Once a leprechaun, always a leprechaun no matter what movie you're in. Shit, dude. Are you looking it up? I have to. I'm pretty positive. pretty positive. I love Luck of the Irish.
00:38:54
Speaker
Henry Gibson. Yes, that's him. Mr. Leakey. Okay. I'm not going to be able to focus on anything else if I don't look at this. If I don't check this.
00:39:07
Speaker
Fuck, when did Luck of the Irish come out? my god, he's Riley O'Reilly, yes! Yeah! Oh my fucking god! is He had the best ears for being like his little... Yeah, there he Oh my god, yeah, that's insane. Okay, alright.
00:39:22
Speaker
Alright. This movie, I think, Biodome came out before Luck of the Irish, but... Doesn't matter. thought was a good actor in song. That's why they cast him for it. Wow. We'll talk about other cameos later. There's a great cameo later. They get in and think totally awesome way to get them and keep them while they have to stay. And then...
00:39:40
Speaker
um but yeah so you know they get in and they get in in like i think totally awesome way to get them in and like keep them why they have to stay and then um I did think it was funny. Like immediately after he says that, he goes in and talks to Faulkner through the thing. And he's like, we have to get them the fuck out of here. Like, and stuff. I was like, this is a businessman. This is great.
00:40:04
Speaker
And Faulkner's like, no. Like, no. Like, we can't. Like, and stuff. So, they're stuck. And um I just think that... I don't know. It was like...
00:40:18
Speaker
Maybe it's just me again being older and stuff. But I was like, man... They get, like, help and, like, do stuff. But they're just, like, bullshitting around. They really are. Which is their life, obviously. They're chronically insane. And they're chaos. They are chaos. They are chaos. So, like, it didn't work. You know? Like, and, like, because they were really fucking shit up and, like, bothering everything because you literally can't account for stuff. So, like, don't know. That through line really just worked for me. Yeah. Like, and I was, like...
00:40:44
Speaker
pleasantly that's when i started being pleasantly surprised by this movie i think um i don't know what's something what's something negative because i can't okay i can't get off that because i was just so no about that's crazy that is that was really good good points no i think honestly a few of the cringiest parts of the movie for me were yeah let's do deep dive on cringe obviously like what you mentioned earlier that i say but um Mostly, like, ah mostly the scene that pops up to me is at the end when they throw the party in the biodome. Oh, God.
00:41:19
Speaker
How, like, they they legit, like, found an open door in, in like, the... In, like, the desert part. In the desert part of, like... back door With a key that was left there. Again, yeah got five forget you have to forgive slapstick. But they get out, basically, and they go out into the real world. Mm-hmm.
00:41:39
Speaker
they're like, dude, we gotta throw this party. And that just hurt me. So i was just like, no, like, the chaos theory makes so much sense and, like, they can fuck shit up, but, like, don't invite a whole... I mean, they had a rager. It looked it was like a dope party. It looked really fun. And they were insane. Like, with their big, like,
00:41:59
Speaker
hats on and costumes and everything and people were just like yeah like they totally wrecked the place and that just hurt to watch yeah honestly because like i don't know i care about the environment care about my i care about my my what is it the ecological footprint what is that actually called i think that's it yeah um let's call something else But anyway, I care about all that. Carbon footprint. Carbon footprint. Thank you. um This is catchphrase. We're just doing little. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. No.
00:42:30
Speaker
We love catchphrase. Another cringe moment. But I actually, i think one of these, maybe one of my favorite scenes is, when they're locked in the storage closet to sleep, but they find, like, the food and the laughing gas. Yeah, they, like, sneak their way through. they're just, like, they have, like, these laughing gas masks on. And, like, it just, like, made me think of when we were kids and how, like, we would just chug Mountain Dews and just... Yeah, exactly. That was our drug. It felt very much like...
00:43:00
Speaker
like sleepover like slap happy eating junk food late at night causing mayhem and then like the two uh the two female scientists come and like find them because they're trying to fucking sleep because they're responsible they're like what the hell is going on in here it's like yeah it seems they're like we've eaten every snack yeah and Yeah.
00:43:20
Speaker
yeah And they were like, literally, it was like it was almost kind of like that stepbrothers scene where they're sleepwalking and they're just destroying everything. Like, they were taking tanks and just like throwing them into the walls and breaking stuff. Oh, yeah, dude. They go fucking crazy. It was so cringe. And you're just like, you're adults. Like, how old were they when they went into the biodome? Because i'm going to say they're acting like they are...
00:43:44
Speaker
11 years old yeah they're acting like no more than 11 maybe 12 not no manners no manners yeah yeah yeah no man god no i'm thinking nobody raised them i'm thinking they were o mid-20s at most yeah no less than that because they're because they went to arizona state Oh, right. because like Because there's a scene where the girlfriends are at Arizona State and then they go to the Arizona Tech like eco party. Right. Being like, forget them and stuff like that. So they're they're in college.
00:44:22
Speaker
So like anywhere from 18 to 21. Okay, I guess that's fair. I feel like that is pretty like prime age for... you know causing mayhem yeah you know because you're like yeah the fucking laughing gas and eating junk food yeah i mean college was fun but it wasn't that fun it wasn't that crazy i will say something that i did like which is i know i have a lot that i don't like but one of things i did love and i forgot until i watched re-watched it recently and
00:44:54
Speaker
was the cameo by Tenacious D. that is that I wrote that down. I was like, holy fucking shit, it's Tenacious D. They're like, in the background. Not only are they there, they are they are students of Arizona Tech in this movie. And I'm like, hell yeah, dude. They go to the like actual school. like No offense to state schools, but like you know like they're like they're at the Arizona Tech. like They got in there and they're doing that eka they're playing the eco rally. yeah Fuck yeah, dude. Because I was like,
00:45:24
Speaker
Like they started singing and I was like, I know that song. I know that voice. I was like, Oh my God. What the fuck is that? And it just cuts to him as fucking young as fuck. Tenacious D like so fast, but so good.
00:45:35
Speaker
And I was, I was very happy about that. I was very stoked. That got that. like Like i was I wasn't losing my way in the movie, but I definitely like that. Like reeled me back in real hard as a huge Tenacious D Jack Black fan, mostly Jack Black, but but yeah Tenacious D is great. Obviously.
00:45:53
Speaker
Oh my god, yeah. That shit was so funny. um i also... ah had a couple of jokes that I thought were pretty good. ah thought ah So at near the beginning, we're going to cut back a little bit because when she's like... So they try to get out of the eco-rally thing by...
00:46:17
Speaker
uh shorzy or not shorzy completely everything polly shore hitting um baldwin and in the head with a book and stuff and like they play rock paper scissors to like hit him see who gets hit in the head to be like oh like he's hurt he can't go and they're like oh this is bull they like see the imprint and stuff which is funny and like they're like oh you're full of shit and the monique uh polly's girlfriend says uh Says, this is just like Hands Across America all over again. And Pauly says, I have arthritis.
00:46:52
Speaker
um I was like, that's actually a very, very funny joke. Like, that is so funny. Like, oh, I can't do the Hands Across America thing. I have arthritis. I was like, that's really funny, actually. like So there was a lot of like pretty good jokes like that in there, which I was like...
00:47:12
Speaker
Shocked to see because a lot of the reviews negative reviews were like, Pauly Shore is the least funny, dumbest comedian that's ever been born, and this movie is terrible, more or less. Yeah. I'm paraphrasing, but that's basically what they're, like, a lot of them were shitting on Pauly Shore. Yeah. ah He's my favorite part.
00:47:28
Speaker
I know. And like, ah he was great. Like, I thought he did. I thought he was good. And like, I thought like for the role that they were doing, like the acting was like exactly what it should have been. And the timing and delivery of everything was great. Cause like the way he delivers that line specifically, i was like genuinely cracking up. I was like, that's ah like, that was a great excuse. That, that is a, that is a genius excuse to get out of hands across America. Right. I have arthritis. So I can't Like, that's, like, you can make that joke now. Yeah. know, like, and it woulds in it would land, i think. So there was a lot of surprisingly funny jokes um in this movie, I thought.
00:48:05
Speaker
I want to know how much, like, they actually did improv. Like, how much was that just, like, Pauly Shore leading... the The way. Yeah, just like kind of like doing it or how much was like actually like you say this. Yeah. Like couple takes. Did he just come up with that on the fly? And that was why it was so funny. So I do know for so for the Deadpool movies, a little bit of a side, but for Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds has a writing credit.
00:48:32
Speaker
in that movie, even though he did not touch the script, it wasn't a part of the script writing because they used so much of his improv for scenes that he like, it like merited him getting a writing credit.
00:48:48
Speaker
Cause like, they're like, like, cause like, you know, haven't read the script, but like, it could have been like, okay. And then Ryan say something like do quick little bit or something. And then like they use that.
00:48:59
Speaker
But, um, like Ryan Reynolds like is good at those kind of like He is the perfect person to play Deadpool. yeah like Say what you will about him and Blake Lively and all the shit with that Colin Hoover movie and stuff. But he is the perfect person to play Deadpool because he can do those kind of like quick little things like that.
00:49:17
Speaker
So he got a writing credit on all three movies... It started with the first one. I'm pretty sure the story goes he was not ah part of the writing room, doesn't wasn't one of the head writers, but just ad-libbed so many things that they were like, that's just too perfect not to use.
00:49:35
Speaker
yeah So the the point being... um Pauly Shore doesn't have a writing credit on this movie, I don't think. So, maybe So, he probably did improv a lot, but not as much, not enough to, like, get a writing credit.
00:49:49
Speaker
You know what I mean? um But I can't imagine he didn't, like, sneak some just, like, I'm going to do this during this take. And like, it got in there kind of a thing. So like, I mean, there's no way, I mean, cause he was like, was, is a comedian. Yeah. So there's no way he didn't just like off the dome hit shit.
00:50:06
Speaker
Cause that's the beautiful thing about comedy. Some of the funniest scenes you've ever seen are stuff where the entire crew was dying laughing. Cause no one knew it was coming and it just hit them in a stroke of genius. Yeah. Like and stuff. So, which, so how much does that happen in this movie?
00:50:23
Speaker
I don't know. Point being, there's a ton of way funnier moments than I thought there going be. Like, I was... That joke really got me at the very beginning.
00:50:35
Speaker
and it was And it continued to be decently funny. You know, betwixt all of the cringe of other scenes and stuff. So I'm not going to deny that. Yeah. But... I don't know. I'm... Overall, though, like... I don't know...
00:50:50
Speaker
how much I loved that they actually did have kind of a wholesome ending. I feel like most slapstick does though.
00:51:00
Speaker
Like, I don't think any slapstick, except for the argument, the one, the one that comes to mind, maybe Austin powers, the first one, cause you find out that she's a fem bot too. Right. But that's just to set up for another one. Right. They saved the world, but then it's like,
00:51:14
Speaker
you I can't, you know, be in love with you forever. But also, Austin Powers can't be tied down. So, it also doesn't make sense for him to get tied down forever. Am I right? there That's fair. That's fair.
00:51:26
Speaker
So, but, other than that, like, I feel like all of them end having a happy ending. Like, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, like, all that. I guess it is supposed to be comedy, so. Yeah.
00:51:39
Speaker
Have a good, hopeful ending, but. yeah it's hard to have. know, just felt with this how much mayhem they caused, like, they should have gone to jail. Oh, yeah, they absolutely should have gone to jail. Like, they should have had some consequences. Yeah, there should have definitely been consequences them. Yeah, but there's logic, you know? Slastic doesn't have logic, apparently.
00:51:55
Speaker
You can't get too deep into logic for something like that. No. know? Yeah. Because it's like. but What are you going to do? Like, you just can't, like, can't ruin the movie, quote unquote, by being like, okay, and then they went to jail for, like, six months. Yeah. And now they're fine.
00:52:12
Speaker
You know what I mean? like It's like, or do they just, like... Yeah, maybe they go to jail. Okay, alternate ending. They go to jail. They make friends with everyone in the jail. Of course. Sequel is... That's the sequel. yeah good Bio jail. Bio jail. They start recycling in jail and stuff like that.
00:52:34
Speaker
Honestly, yeah, I can see it. But they just keep getting stuck and put into the little safe. rooms because they cause so much mayhem in the jail. Oh yeah, the um those calls solitary confinement. Yeah, the straitjackets. Not safe rooms, punishment. Yeah, you're right. yeah I call it a safe room, but you're right. mean, it is a room where they can be safe from the other prisoners, but it's also like, okay, you're going to be locked in this room with no contact for month, you know? even imagine. Yeah, our prison system's broken, but that's for a different podcast. Bio-jail, next time.
00:53:04
Speaker
Well, they're going to have to one day when are when we are forced to live in shelters fallout shelters or biodomes or whatever because of the environment i mean it's great great to know this stuff ahead of time Yeah, honestly, so that was that's one of my biggest things about the movie that I think is a genuine positive.
Science Communication in 'Biodome'
00:53:26
Speaker
And this isn't an original thought. This is something that I had seen couple people um on on TikTok kind of talk about in the like scientific community and stuff. Because i you know obviously I follow a lot of movie stuff, but I follow a lot of all kinds of stuff.
00:53:44
Speaker
And I saw a few different people talking about like people who are scientists and Talking about how... So today, there is a ton of pseudoscience that a lot of people believe.
00:53:57
Speaker
Whether it's, like, people who are anti-vax. Whether it's people who believe, like, archaeology is wrong and stuff. And I'm not going to bullshit. I have a whole...
00:54:09
Speaker
alternative archaeology section up here in my in my library because I think it's interesting. you know yeah Some of it's complete bullshit. Some of it I'm like, that's kind of interesting.
00:54:20
Speaker
um But they the these scientists were kind of positing that There's a disconnect. There's such a disconnect from science and like layman at this point, um which, you know, could be a comment on like just education in our country or in the world at large, where it's almost like a foreign language.
00:54:44
Speaker
trying to understand like someone who's not a scientist to understand the things that scientists are trying to do understand and like let people know is important it's almost like trying to learn French or Chinese like it used to be there used to be a little bit not be as hard to explain this right and and I kind of thought this movie had that kind of vibe like you have two really dumb fucking people and who instead of Faulkner kind of taking them by the hand and explaining like what they were doing, like, and like he immediately comes in and is more or less like, Hey, um, fuck you guys.
00:55:28
Speaker
Don't touch anything. Don't ruin anything. yeah You're stuck here with us. Please don't fuck shit up. Instead of like, Here's what we're doing. Embracing it. Here's why we're doing it. And like, here's what you can do to help. And here's how you can understand. like Again, not like babying them, you know, but like, let it just kind of like. Gentle parenting. Gentle parenting, maybe. Yeah, might be even the right way to say it. They didn't have that in the ninety s No, of course Born in 95, born in. 94. Okay, so yeah, we know. Yeah. um I love my parents, I will say. I will say. There's a way, yeah.
00:56:03
Speaker
But. There's no wrong way. No, there's no no right right way. There's no right way, there's no wrong way. Yeah, there's just a way, and you just go. yeah And you try it. You gotta do. Lie by the seat of your pants. Exactly.
00:56:14
Speaker
um But, all that's to say, like, I was thinking about that watching this movie. I was like, because, you know, obviously by the end of it, they they reach 100% homeostasis, and it's because, like,
00:56:27
Speaker
Like they help and stuff and they like start showing them stuff. But then they're like, what if we did this? And it's like, oh, wow. Yeah, that could actually work. Which again is a little like, how the fuck do they all know about the science all of a sudden? They're like, you're like, have all these great ideas. And why wouldn't they just give up the experiment after that huge rager? yeah Why would they even continue? Because hundred million dollar investment.
00:56:50
Speaker
Well, no, the reason they don't is because they were going to leave, but then they ah fucking dude swallows the key. Oh, you're right. And says, no, we're going to do this. They get inspired to fix it.
00:57:01
Speaker
Right. Because their girlfriends are so mad at them. They're like, we're fucking yeah done. Y'all ruined everything. Coming of age moment. where Exactly. they We gotta make a difference. Exactly. But I kind of felt that a little bit in this movie. I was like, it's kind of like, yeah, like,
00:57:20
Speaker
I don't know. Like there's like, there is a disconnect between like scientists who are doing really, really hardcore shit and like just layman. Like I get, I'm not a scientist. Like I, I'm all for the environment. I'm all for fighting climate change. I'm all for like, you know, going into space and doing all that. I think all that's important and like to us right now and the future of humanity.
00:57:46
Speaker
but I don't understand fucking Jack all about it. You know what I mean? Like I, I'm not smart enough to like do that. And, you know like I think Neil deGrasse Tyson like is a great like segue for like the astronomy stuff or like the and like like all the astrophysics stuff because like he does a good job breaking it down. you know like and Carl Sagan was breaking it down before. yeah and stuff and people Some people still aren't getting it. Some people still think the fucking Earth is flat and that we've never been to space.
00:58:17
Speaker
Because there's a disconnect. and like As we learn more, as as scientists learn more, we don't. yeah Like in schools and stuff. But science talk maybe.
00:58:28
Speaker
Maybe. Science TikTok. Yeah, exactly. No, they've definitely got that fine tune now. They're not going to. I just went down a rabbit hole yeah of people, like kind of like scientists. like kind of like and i was like I'm seeing a lot of like like people our age talking about it like and stuff. like um Them being like, I can barely talk to my friends about my job.
00:58:52
Speaker
because they aren't in this field. Like, they just genuinely don't understand it. And, like, to me, it's second nature, because I went to school for it and stuff, but, like like, there's, like, I feel like there should be, like, some kind of a middle, but it's hard to get there.
00:59:06
Speaker
And I felt like this movie kind of, like, push that thought yeah and stuff in the 90s like like if these guys just really understood and like paid attention to how important this was they could be a part of the solution so all the flat earthers need to go into a biodome And learn some shit. oh yeah. That'd be great, dude. Let's fucking get rid of them. Like, fucking walk them up in a fucking biodome for science. and like so they Forget prisons. Just put them in a biodome. Yeah, figure have to run that shit to survive. Yeah, but make it flat so they feel safe.
00:59:42
Speaker
If you make it around, they'll feel weird about They'll bitch and moan and say it's fake and they're not in a biodome and all that bullshit. But the point is... that was i actually got that from this movie watching it. I was like, just kind of talking about like the disconnect between science and laymen. like And how if we could if there was an easier way to kind of explain everything, we could maybe make some actual progress. yeah like In the fight for the environment and climate change and other ah areas of science. So I did actually genuinely like this movie. I was like, it's low-key funny as hell. it i you know like There was some genuine... ah
01:00:18
Speaker
again A lot of cringe as well. Like, I understand the four, but I disagree with that. I feel like they had, yeah, i feel like they had a good premise, right? Like a good message of...
01:00:31
Speaker
Messages important. and we need We're going to eventually need to live in some sort of biodome. So we got to figure out do Somebody's going to need to figure out some shit. Which I think is cool because I love that kind of stuff. I love like end of the world. Like how are we going to live? How do we save this? Mostly because I want to have kids at some point. And I'm like, I'm kind of terrified to have kids for that reason. It's like, okay, what's going to happen? I know a lot of people who are like, why bother?
01:00:54
Speaker
And so it's like nice to know that there's like progress being made out there. But I so like you said, I don't know what's going on and what progress they've made. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know where to get my news and how to trust it. So like I love just watching movies for that reason, even though they're kind of like not not realistic.
01:01:11
Speaker
It just it's a perspective change. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's like it's like whenever there's a positive article in the fight for climate change, it's like.
01:01:24
Speaker
like I'll read it and be like, okay, yeah, this is good news. But I'm also like, but how? I don't know exactly how. like and they'll they like Whoever's writing the article will like dumb it down for a mass audience. And i'm and sometimes I'm still like, okay, I don't really know, but I see a lot of quotes from scientists saying this is important and this is a good thing, so I'm going to just agree with them.
01:01:50
Speaker
It'd be nice to... know a little bit more. think that was the message. I think that was the message of this movie. And even though it was a dumb as fuck movie, and thank I think the message was pleasant. Deserving of
01:02:09
Speaker
more than a 4%. More than a 4? Or a 1 on Metacritic. More than that. More than 1? 1 out of 100? 1 out of 100. Or 4 out of 100. Yeah. ah one person one out of a hundred why out of a or four out of a hundred yeah or 3.7 out of 10 or 4.4 or 51 out of 100 kind of nuts well 51 out of 100 feel good about i feel that's which is like a straight 50 50 almost straight 50 50 it's pretty rough yeah but the four and the one yeah yeah no i think about that and i'm like who like people really don't watch this movie
01:02:45
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. They see it, but they watch it like we did. They're not really watching it. watching this movie, dude. Come on, guys. Wake up. Fucking sheep. Fucking open your eyes, dude.
01:02:58
Speaker
Biodome. Fix everything. Honestly, these we should turn it into a drinking game. We should figure out. Let's rewatch every time that Pauly Shore... goes, you have to drink and you'll be drunk by two minutes in. Absolutely. Anytime they anytime either of them make any random bullshit noises. What do they say? Well, they call it going tribal.
01:03:21
Speaker
Going tribal. They're so funny. I just... So dumb, cringe, but i don't know. I mean, I like two friends, ah you know, always having a good time no matter what. Yeah. You know, I love that. That's a good energy always. And then um going tribal, they literally just dance and like love dancing. So, mean, I get it, but.
01:03:46
Speaker
Them two together are just like a party together. exactly yeah like they're just always having a good time and they literally had the good time the entire time in the biodome even when they got serious and dude swallowed the key and it was like hey we're all gonna be stuck in here and the scientists were like we're gonna fucking die like they were like we're dead we're 100 yeah yeah they were very upset about it um but uh you know, they figured it out. They had a, they had a good time.
01:04:11
Speaker
The, um, again, another stupid slapstick thing that I just love because it's so slapstick. Um, when, um, the, uh, I'm referring to him as the leprechaun, the leprechaun, when he got the like,
01:04:29
Speaker
riot like hostage negotiator guy to... like He was like, okay, like if you think this is going work, he's like, I've done this before and it works. And he bla they blast a safety dance.
01:04:40
Speaker
Oh, yes! And it cuts to them and the scientists all just like... ah running around the place just having a good time dancing and stuff I was like I was like this is so stupid but it makes me very happy yeah it's like very wholesome it's just like they're all having a good time because they're doing a good job and then I loved when they were like getting the updates to all the people in the crowd so when it was 69 they were like yeah like everybody was freaking out I was like I was like i was like this is nice was like this is nice I do have one question though I think I missed this
01:05:15
Speaker
Why did Falkner go crazy and, like, abandon his entire mission and become the bad guy all of a sudden? Because, like, they had the party. They locked him up.
01:05:27
Speaker
he chewed out of his thing apparently. cause they're like, it looks like somebody chewed through these. Like it looks like an animal. Like he chews out of the handcuffs after they lock him up. Cause like, no, we're having this party. Like, fuck you. Like this stuff. We're helping when they're still being dumb.
01:05:42
Speaker
And then he's rigging coconuts to explode. So he can blow up the biodome. Like I i think he just didn't. I think the whole point of him going crazy was because he had, this was his baby.
Character Analysis and Slapstick Moments
01:05:56
Speaker
and And not only did they mess it up, but they opened it. And I think that he was just like, there's no going back. We're just blowing the shit up. You know, like maybe I think he just didn't want to have his name put on this.
01:06:08
Speaker
Fair. But there's also that's all I see. But there's also that whole thing when he's like with the parrot. The parrot's like, I'm God. I am God. And then he's like, no, I am God. And then it cuts away and then it cuts back to him after like a period of time. And he's wearing the parrot as a headdress.
01:06:27
Speaker
I think I missed that. It's like when he's like making, he's like working on making the explosive. I mean, I know this, but I think I don't think I like, yeah i was I don't think I caught it. i was like, okay, so he's having like a Frankenstein playing God complex right now. yeah It just seemed like that came out of nowhere.
01:06:46
Speaker
Again, slapstick. I agree with that, but honestly, it could mean nothing. could mean everything. Yeah. I don't think ever read into it. How do we get him to become the bad guy? Because he doesn't leave.
01:06:57
Speaker
he stays when they get locked in. um Also love the bit when they're giving the speech, he's going to eat the thing. And stuff.
01:07:07
Speaker
And then, like, one last party goer comes up and is like, hey, I don't want to be locked in here. Can you just, like, let me out real quick? Like, he's, like, giving the impassioned speech about how they should stay. he's like, hey, could you just let me out before you eat that key real quick? And, like, oh, yeah. And, like, pop him out and stuff. And he's like, okay, thanks, guys. Like, he leaves. And then they're like... And then he eats the key and stuff. I was like, that's that's just a good bit. That's a good bit. It was a good bit. But, yeah, like, Faulkner, I just don't understand, like... Again, i don't really...
01:07:36
Speaker
I don't know, maybe because they needed, they couldn't just go wholesome after that. They like needed a little more mayhem. Yeah, you absolutely need, because like, again, you literally made bombs out of coconuts, which is crazy. Yeah. um But um I just don't, I feel like I missed the shift.
01:07:54
Speaker
You know what i mean? It was during the party, but I missed exactly when the shift happened, I guess. I don't know. Yeah. Well, Faulkner is the main scientist. So this was his experiment. This is his baby, yeah. Yeah.
01:08:07
Speaker
That's the only thing I can think of is like once they opened up the door again, he's like, well, there's no going back. Yeah, he said, fuck it. And he was like, so I'm just going blow this whole thing and stuff. I mean, sure. i mean, again, that's my logic.
01:08:20
Speaker
But then there is no logic. So could it be? For slapstick, that's more than enough logic. You know what i mean? And that's fine. I was just like, oh, did I miss like, was asking like, did miss literally like a sentence?
01:08:32
Speaker
You know what mean? Like, did I miss like one sentence about him ah him being like, I'm going to take this place down because of ABC, which is... Something that happens in slapstick when you're like, okay, we need this guy to be the bad guy.
01:08:45
Speaker
Because again, everything is very surface level when when it comes to the characters. You know what I mean? Like, the bad guy is the bad guy because he fucking sucks. Yeah. like And that's the longest of it. I think he kind of did suck the whole time.
01:08:56
Speaker
but he oh he absolutely But he wasn't like evil bad guy until the end. Yeah. Like actual. But even then he wasn't even. He was like going. He was a oppos to be pretentious asshole. Yeah. time Yeah. Sure.
01:09:09
Speaker
But. But not like villainous. Not. Not. Yeah. Exactly. Not like a yeah true blue villain. Yeah. So. But again. Doesn't matter. They needed a bad guy and they... And that was the bad guy. And it made... Honestly, out of anybody else to become the bad guy, he's the best one.
01:09:28
Speaker
Yeah. Because the leprechaun, he was kind of a bad guy because he was like... the investor. He was like, you're messing with my investment. on We're done. We're done. Like, I've lost all this money. But started making money and they're like, they're making t-shirts. Yes, i love that they were making t-shirts. Loki kind of wanted one of those t-shirts. Thought the t-shirt was was great design. Looked cool.
01:09:49
Speaker
Would totally wear it. Yeah. Um... Pauly Shore, if you hear this, send me a t-shirt. Send me a and Sam a t-shirt. Exactly. From BioDome. And then, like, because the end, he's he's all, like, you know, break them out of there. Like, let's we're done. But then, like, he has, like, his little cronies, like, come up being, like, oh, like...
01:10:09
Speaker
like the, what was it called? The bladder blaster was the soda, like the soda company they were always drinking. like they want to do a deal with them. Like, like they want them, these scientists want them in Geneva next week to like, like as soon as possible to like talk about chaos theory, like all this stuff. And he's like, just, you know, dollar bills, like, i so he's like, let's go. Like, he's like, he's ready for it. marketing Yeah, exactly.
01:10:36
Speaker
Insane. Um, I think that was my only big burning question for, like, shockingly, I think that was my only, like, plot-wise, like, oh, what did I miss? Like, how did we get here?
01:10:49
Speaker
Yeah. How did Faulkner become evil? Because after he becomes evil, you know, it rides out. Like, he's doing his little evil plan. um Don't understand how he made coconuts bombs. Coconut bombs. With...
01:11:01
Speaker
detonators that he could trigger and stuff like well there was this one one quote where paulie shore's like what are you a scientist or rocket scientist or something and he was like yes i am so maybe that's your all the logic you need i know i did i did love that bit because i knew he was i knew he was gonna say it yeah but i was like that was a throw-in yeah he's like because he's like okay yeah like yeah you're right you are a scientist absolutely like back down to the layman yeah he's like wait you are a scientist i forgot for what's happening right now where i am exactly and what we're doing fucking i i do genuinely like this movie i think it i guess at the end of the day what i'm really trying to say is i think it deserves more
01:11:55
Speaker
It deserves way more than a four. Way more than a four. What would you rate it? So out of a hundred... Because you've rated a lot of movies. So I can get technical. Yeah.
01:12:07
Speaker
I still think it would be something that's worthy of being on Bad Movie Debate. so less So less than 50. So less than 60. Oh, less than 60. It's going to be less than 50. Yeah. But I would say...
01:12:25
Speaker
I think this is a solid 42 to 46. Wow. like I really enjoyed this movie a lot more than I should have, I feel like. You know what I mean? Yeah.
01:12:41
Speaker
I was like, it was funnier than I thought it was. like I actually genuinely laughed more than I thought I would, um which was...
Environmental Message and Final Thoughts
01:12:52
Speaker
awesome and like i literally thought i was gonna be rolling my eyes the entire time but i was actually like like this is pretty funny like and then like kind of once i uh got into like the like train of thought of like the disconnect between scientists and like layman thing and like like wow this a lot of thought-provoking like a lot of this would be ah solved if they just
01:13:19
Speaker
communicated with them better like if these really smart people just talk to these like chronically insane people just like and like try to like instead of blowing them off or like you know what I mean like I was like kind of a vibe oh yeah they finally get it um again they start to get it not because of the scientist efforts but because of ah their girlfriends are gonna leave them yeah and that's obviously their main vast mistakes yeah exactly um but they finally get it and once they get it they start to help and they end up saving the day you know and stuff and i'm like yeah you know because like it does it takes all of us you know and i was like like
01:14:03
Speaker
all right. Awesome. Message is good. It was more wholesome than I thought it was going to be. um I thought the entire goal was going to literally just so that be that they don't lose their girlfriends. thought that was going to be the entire goal, but it was like, no, they're like, we want to save our girlfriends, but also we actually do genuinely care about the environment now because we understand we've like learned how it works and how to deal with it. On a small scale. Exactly. And they understand. Yeah, exactly. you you look You're thinking, look,
01:14:32
Speaker
locally we're thinking globally now great bit great great thing loved that so much that was so funny yeah because at the beginning he's like he's like you're thinking globally and you think locally and then the biodome he flips it on her and she's like wow so funny so fucking funny um but yeah i just think that like Obviously, their main goal was to not lose their girlfriends, but they actually grew and learned a lot about what their girlfriends cared about, which is something that affects all of us in a way. So I was like, yeah, it's pretty fucking good. It's a shit movie still. yeah like Don't get me wrong.
01:15:16
Speaker
It's way cringey. There's a lot of issues with it. it's It's not nearly as good as... any of the 10 different 11, 12 slapstick comedies we talked about the beginning of episode by a mile.
01:15:32
Speaker
Yeah. Definitely not like my number one. I feel like it's, it would, yeah. It's not even top five. It's not even top 10. Not even top 10. Not even top 10. But it's not 4%. poor percent No. It's not 4%.
01:15:43
Speaker
That's the main thing. Yeah. I will, I will say, i will say, okay, my my rating, man, i would say it's I would say it's like 40%.
01:15:55
Speaker
A 40? Okay. okay I think 40% because... We're about to the same spot. Because like, for me, a movie rating is... um is a mix of like entertainment and like movie quality.
01:16:08
Speaker
like The production. like I think it's really cool that like for the production of it, they like i don't I need to actually look into like the special effects and all that. but I feel like they have a cool premise of like where they're filming is in a biodome. The biodome is...
01:16:23
Speaker
like especially for the 90s like i mean just like even very advanced that's all just straight up they ah built that shit yeah that's all they built a biodome to shoot in yeah like it's a sure maybe the plants weren't real yeah you know and like they only had like the few times you see animals walking around that we very very very rarely see when he loses all the butterflies my god so cringe that poor man he turns around they they get him on his side and he comes around to like him and stuff which is you know a fine but that poor man that poor man um but yeah all of that like
01:17:01
Speaker
very minimal animals around but like you know it don't cost that much to rent a goat for a day like that's real so like like all of that's obviously practical and real and stuff but like the fact that like building an entire biodome to shoot these scenes and stuff obviously the biodome itself Did they actually build a biodome? don't know. They did not build that full-size thing. Okay. I would say... Like, just the sets and stuff? would the wide shots where you see the biodome is a Star Wars and Anna Jones model.
01:17:33
Speaker
Got it. But then those scenes where you see it is, like, they did construct, like, here's the desert, so we can do a big wide shot of the desert. But a lot of that could be studio. yeah Like, of the, like, where they're, like, walking through the forest. all right, you build up a fake thing. Like, literally, like... literallyie like um like high school play where it's like you build up a fake waterfall get some water running fake plants but you don't ever see the top or the bottom boom done yeah so all practical setting and stuff they didn't build the full biodome yeah i do love the way that they did that though that's like that's like something for for me a rating in a movie is um oh yeah where they're setting it and for me like i said earlier i really like um apocalyptic um
01:18:19
Speaker
Yeah. Shit and like... Oh, yeah, like the time. how are you How are these creators imagining what our future looks like? I just love seeing all the different perspectives. It's the... It's a...
01:18:31
Speaker
30 years ago and we're still there i know and i'm like i just watched fallout recently and i feel like that was like and yeah oh i need to watch the show they have movie oh i knew they had a game well meant like like you watched fallout like like oh like it's like i'm saying i've never played the game yeah i haven't watched the show wasn't die hard to watch it I haven't played the game either. But I really like Ella Pornell, so. Yeah, she's awesome in it. And I love the yellow jackets. So wait, you haven't seen at all?
01:18:58
Speaker
I haven't seen it at all? I haven't seen um the ah trailers. Please watch it. I haven't single moment. Honestly, that should have been a good precursor for... this movie too because just feel like fallout shelter biodome like yeah that's true i'll watch it you should watch i love i love her i didn't ever play the game and i really and brett kind of filled some stuff in for me but most of the i feel like most of it is people i heard from people uh that have played the games that the show did a really good job like adapting the lore because there's like yeah
01:19:31
Speaker
four or five games now? Yeah. there's a fuck ton of games. But like, the general world, like, hey, we're gonna do this. Yeah. Excuse me, they did a good job. of Yeah. So, I will watch it.
01:19:43
Speaker
yeah Back to.biodum, though.
Nostalgia and Recommendations
01:19:45
Speaker
like i ah Doing some like research, um found out that Pauly Shore his own podcast. It's called PMS. Now I just want to watch it.
01:19:57
Speaker
What does that stand I don't think it stands for anything. It literally says Pauly Shore's Podcast. Is his middle name M? Maybe. but it didn't it literally didn't say. you know how like If you had your logo BND, it
01:20:12
Speaker
It wasn't like that. It didn't say like what it was. yeah But in my research, that i they had like a they even had Stephen bal Baldwin on the podcast. And they look just they both are just like old.
01:20:23
Speaker
They just look really old. And they're not even that old. They're like in their late 50s or something. Yeah, because I'm... Yeah, because, again, they were in college in the store. like, almost 60. Yeah. So, like, they had to have been, like, 30. 30 years ago now. Yeah. So, they were, like, probably mid to late 20s.
01:20:41
Speaker
When the movie actually happened. Was filmed. Yeah. So. But they look so old. I know. But now I want to listen to this podcast, honestly. yeah I might check it out. I mean, like, again, like, Encino Man's great. If I always, like, just need, like, a little pick-me-up, like, I'm on my dog walks, and I'm just, like, I just really need some, like, energy. I'll just have Pauly Shore laughing. feel like. If just listen to Pauly Shore laughing, like.
01:21:00
Speaker
honestly yeah like that'll get me going yeah again all these fucking haters i'm gonna say it on um i'm fucking rotten tomatoes saying paulie shore's a piece of shit and he's a terrible comedian and stuff okay maybe he's not good at stand-up and stuff but he's good in this fucking movie he's good in encino man i haven't seen it in the army but apparently that's a pretty fun movie too so fuck you dude I'm just jealous that you get paid to do movies. I just want to be friends with Pauly Shore. that's Yeah, he seems like a chill dude. So it's fine.
01:21:31
Speaker
don't know. It's fine. So I'm going to get, I am genuinely going to give this like, ah I'll narrow it down. I'll go to one number. said 42 to 46. go with 43. I'm going give this genuine 43% out of 100. And you said 40. Yeah. Yeah.
01:21:45
Speaker
okay out of a hundred and you said forty yeah yeah Unfortunately, that does still make it a bad movie. Still bad. But it is one of those which, like all movies that we do on this podcast, every single one of these movies is worth watching.
01:22:03
Speaker
Some more than others, I think this one's absolutely worth watching. If you only watch movies based on what reviews, like, ratings are, you're going miss a lot of stuff. This movie was...
01:22:17
Speaker
funnier and more thought-provoking than I fucking thought it was going to be. Again, I had literally just seen these TikToks that these scientists were saying, like, less than a week ago.
01:22:28
Speaker
So, you know, maybe if I didn't catch those, I would have, but I wouldn't have had a thought-provoking but i still would have been like yeah it's a funny slapstick movie like it's yeah ass but like it's a funny slapstick movie like yeah watch it if you just want something dumb to watch like yeah you know like fun to watch with friends probably and stuff like like drinking cracking jokes at the at the movie itself like yeah this is absolutely up there like with those movies and stuff again it's not as good as any of the other slapstick movies we talked about ah because those are genuinely really funny and like a little more well thought out but still bad movie and that's fair and I got Jacob to watch it and he had never seen it oh really?
01:23:09
Speaker
you um like oh me? I thought you were talking about Jacob Nicholson no got you to watch it you did and I loved it i genuinely like it I'm not going to go out you know have you not seen any of the movies that you've rated on here like that you have you seen every movie Every movie that's been on this show? Yeah.
01:23:27
Speaker
I have... Have you had to watch a lot of movies? So, most of them I have seen before. But there's probably like... Done.
01:23:37
Speaker
This is the 51st episode. Wow. Well, it's down. um I would say... not all of them are specifically about movies.
01:23:49
Speaker
I would say i probably for the first time had to watch...
01:23:55
Speaker
I would think 10 plus or minus for the first time have to watch like the fucking dumb ass fucking ah Christmas movie. Anteen made me watch for our Christmas episode. I did with her not this past year, but the year before most wonderful time of the year. oh so bad. So fucking bad.
01:24:11
Speaker
She loves it though. She loves those hallmarks. And I love that for her. Yeah. But that one. It was rough. Well, I'm glad that you're not the only one that's watching these for the first time. So I think our listeners will feel more confident. I hope so. I know I am. When I listen to your podcast, I feel like if there's a movie hadn't seen, I'll go and watch it after I listen. Or I'll see the title and I'll be like, okay, I'm going to watch it and then I'm going to listen to the podcast. I love the debrief. Yeah, I always recommend watching the movie before kind of like getting your own thoughts about it. But like...
01:24:49
Speaker
But also, i feel like with this movie, specifically in like this episode, I feel like listening to this and then watching it might make you appreciate it a little bit more. I agree. And stuff. Because again. Four?
01:25:00
Speaker
That's four. Four. That's insane. A one on Metacritic. Absolutely not correct. Bonkers. Bonkers. Bat shit crazy.
01:25:11
Speaker
Honestly. Chronically insane. Chronically insane. Time to go tribal, you guys. Time to go tribal.
01:25:22
Speaker
I honestly, don't think there's any other way to end it. I think that's the perfect way to end this episode. Go tribal, boys. Love it. And girls. And everybody in between. I'm by the way.
01:25:35
Speaker
All right. Well, follow on YouTube, Instagram, all that, all that bullshit. Um, bad movie debate or bad movie debate pod on Tik TOK. Cause I had to change my name because of a bunch of shit. Anyway, it's fine.
01:25:50
Speaker
Um, I'm on, uh, all of that stuff, uh, except for X. I'm not on there. Uh, refuse to be, uh, at this point. Uh, but follow on there. um Anybody let me know what you think about this movie because ah I am shocked still that I like this movie as much as I did.
01:26:08
Speaker
i li i literallyly it was four percent and i literally, ah like times ten literally times you did like this movie so much more i gave it 43 like i'm like over time anyway everybody else's rating is on on insta oh yeah i'll put up yeah put up on an insta uh follow on insta for sure because i'll do a like a poll i love doing the polls to see what people actually think and stuff like the last one i did with nick secret life of walter middy we were both like yeah it's fine but like yeah it's a good movie and stuff and it was like i think it was
01:26:41
Speaker
me and austin were the only people to vote bad and she only voted bad because she knew that was my stance to give it a little extra juice yeah yeah like and stuff like everybody else who voted was like good movie and i was like damn okay so like i was personally way off like because i was like it's fine and people will like that movie too yeah i'm really curious what people think about biodome i am curious too because i know there's a lot of people out there who have seen this movie but people don't talk about it you know i mean it gets lost again like it gets lost in the slapstick yeah the like the like 20 30 year old slapstick now it gets lost for sure but this one's fucking worth watching because they're talking about something important you still need to fucking talk about and be fixing today thank you polly shore
01:27:33
Speaker
And thank you, Sam, for being here with me once again. um Thanks for having me. Absolutely. Is there anything you want to anything you want to plug, like direct people to?
01:27:45
Speaker
it could be like, watch this other movie. It could be as simple as that. I'm to say, again, watch Severance. It's the best show on TV right now. been talking about it for like three weeks every episode I've been doing. Well, if you need another podcast to listen to after you listen to Bad Movie Debate. PMS?
01:28:00
Speaker
No, well, PMS. We need to listen to Pauly Shore. Plug. Second plug, Giggly Squad is one of my favorite um easy listening, super low-key. They just talk suck shit all day.
01:28:13
Speaker
They just talk shit? they're so and Yeah, and they just giggle. That sounds great. So if you want something similar to what we do, yeah but with less substance, Giggly Squad. Hell yeah. I love it.
01:28:24
Speaker
That's one of my mains. Fucking check it out. We'll be back whenever we're back for for more. Cool.
