00:01:25
Speaker
One, two, three. Breaks it. um The mouth gets him to open this door. He's like, I got naked pictures of your mom the bathtub. I've taken all I can take and that's all I can take from you. Yeah, they go down in there.
00:01:40
Speaker
Chunk gets stuck. Oh, because they found a freezer. Because Chunk has super fat guy sense. He smell ice cream. Super fat guy sense. So it's not even just that. He's like, they have pizza. ever Pepperoni. It was cooked three out three three minutes ago with love. It was somebody named Michael.
00:01:56
Speaker
Michael cooked that pizza. I can smell it. I need Michael's pizza in my life. Yeah, I love this old Domino's fucking placement. It's back when Domino's was good. and was.
00:02:07
Speaker
I mean, pizza is young. No, no. I just think pizza used to be better. they Every year they find a different fucking way to chemically cut corners. Different podcast. um Welcome back to Crazy Cast. Welcome back to q and on and on and on. It's actually not good
Cultural Humor: Irish vs Scottish
00:02:25
Speaker
that's a good title. it's Actually, not a bad title. We're starting to Q and on podcast, dude.
00:02:31
Speaker
We can even do I think it's Erykah Badu Queuing on, on and on and on I'm sure she would really appreciate that We're not going ask her I'm going to get into Corey and go fucking full Weird Al style I'm going to go full Ross Perot on her You can't make a song tell me ain't a jingle They find the freezer and there's a dead body in there Because these guys are dumping one body at a time Yeah, different places, not together.
00:03:01
Speaker
But if you're going to go out with a body in your vehicle, get them both out of the way, right? Yeah, do them both at once. Don't be going back and forth. It's crazy. like I'm not a lawyer, but I would say you're going to get in the same amount of trouble for one body versus two.
00:03:15
Speaker
I mean, who are we kidding? They're not stopping for the cops anyway. We've already seen them have one shoe stout. They're going to have another shoe stout. Yeah. That's what they do. That's the Fratellis, which is the first band name.
00:03:26
Speaker
Fratellis! In this movie. I can think of two bands that got names from this movie. Fratellis are one. They are a much larger international band. Okay. Yeah, they're Irish?
00:03:39
Speaker
I want to say Irish. Or it could be Scottish, though. I mean, really, what's the difference? I mean, I can tell you right now they're all the United Kingdom and they love it.
00:03:49
Speaker
Yeah, I was going to say they they love being referred to like that. Like if if there was somebody on right now from Scotland and we call them United Kingdom, they would not try and fight us. They wouldn't fucking fight us, that's for sure.
00:04:00
Speaker
If there was someone who was Irish and I called them the United Kingdom, they wouldn't fight me. They wouldn't fight each you. They'd plant a fucking bomb while you drive, you know. You start your fucking car one day and then boom, no more Derek. He said that fucking thing about the United Kingdom.
00:04:13
Speaker
What do you think the I in the IRA stands for? The Irish Republic Army. It is. I know. Right. I zoned for a second. Sorry. So what's going to happen is... She just came back to you doing Irish speech. Now we have to kill your fucking wife too.
00:04:27
Speaker
We've got Darius getting a car bomb and Whitney's getting a fucking vape bomb. You're going to go get a little taste of strawberry shortcake. Take a little puffer. Boom. Dead. Gone. Thank you. I love it.
00:04:39
Speaker
Death by i don't have to clean it up. Yeah, that's a fact, sister. That's the next man's problem. I'd like to leave a dirty house if I'm getting evicted, you know. i I like to leave a house full of dead bodies.
00:04:51
Speaker
I'd like to leave as many dead bodies a con around here. um If you could import some of your enemies into my room, I can help kill your enemies too. Has anyone wronged you? Has anyone ever done this this United Kingdom bullshit?
00:05:05
Speaker
But yeah, so Chunk ends up getting locked in the freezer with the
Comedic Scene: Chunk in the Freezer
00:05:08
Speaker
body. And this is actually just really funny because this thing is just like falling over on him. pretty sure it's still a person. I'm not. no don't think this was a dummy. No, this is an actor. It's 100%.
00:05:19
Speaker
yeah did you can feel funny You can see a little bit of facial stress like when he's like falling and stuff. Not bad. Better than I could do. But not as good as the actor Men at Work. Trying to keep eyes from focusing.
00:05:30
Speaker
Yeah. Trying keep eyes from focusing. like The guy from Men at Work might have been better than Bernie. yeah Well, and I mean, to be fair to this guy, he didn't know people who were going to be watching it in 4K.
00:05:42
Speaker
Very valid point.
00:05:46
Speaker
But yeah, he's locked in the freezer. The kids are in the fireplace.
00:05:51
Speaker
Which looks like it had a burning log. Like there was like red embers on it. like Well, you see it later. It's like painted. But I'm pretty sure the first time they showed it was actually like a burning...
00:06:01
Speaker
Yeah. I used to paint. Yeah. um Oh, and they also found out, and it doesn't really matter, but the reason that the Fratellis are hiding out here and they're wanted is because they have a money counterfeiting
The Fratellis' Escape Plan
00:06:15
Speaker
machine. Oh, yeah.
00:06:16
Speaker
A terrible one because it's only printing one side, and I don't think that's how bills work, but Well, these kids just turned it on premature. They didn't flip the plates or nothing. Yeah, you got to flip plates. Allegedly. ah
00:06:29
Speaker
You do one side first, put new plates in there, do the other side next. But I do like that the kids are like, the only way out of here is down through this fireplace passage. And then when Chunk gets out of the freezer and the Fratellis are coming down, they're like, all right, Chunk, go get help. And he just goes out the window. And I'm like, you could have all gone out the window That window was covered up until Chunk like fell and and moved some shit because Chunk is the hero.
00:06:50
Speaker
I also want to say, if you're going to counterfeit money, you don't do a high bill. Do ones and fives. They don't fucking mark those bitches. Oh, yeah. But this is 80-something. They weren't marking. You didn't have some snot-nosed kid at the grocery store with a fucking marker.
00:07:05
Speaker
That kid has so much power now. I feel nervous every time. I didn't even make the money. I'm what if somebody gave me a counterfeit 20? They just look me in the eyes when they mark it off. Ooh. Looks like a that will accept.
00:07:18
Speaker
Fuck you. Fuck you, Scott.
00:07:23
Speaker
Hello. I have a nemesis, by the way. I've heard I'm gonna fucking blow him up like Chunk immediately gets caught because he goes running out to the the road car stops for him and he doesn't just say like hey I need to ride back to town which would be the smart thing he expounds all the information they just learned and the car light gets turned I could reckon I could just describe all their faces yeah figure don't figure it don'll figure it all yeah And yeah, you got the Fratelli brothers in there.
00:07:54
Speaker
The brother brothers. The brother brothers. I love me some Joey pants, dude. Dude, right? Fucking great. I don't have a hairpiece. don't wear a toupee. I don't know if i noticed it when we watched it in the theater a few years ago.
00:08:06
Speaker
But we when we were started watching this, I was like, what? Joey pants is a Fratelli? Yeah. You didn't notice it in theaters? I don't remember. oh I mentioned, I was like, this was my introduction to Joey p pants and Derek's like, well, it had to be right. And i was like, not understanding. He's like, cause this came out in 1985. Yeah.
00:08:25
Speaker
I mean, I did. I think I'm kind of on Derek's boat though. Like when I watched this younger, I didn't know who the fuck Joey pants was. So he wasn't a name to me. It was just, he was a Fratelli and especially with that hair piece.
00:08:36
Speaker
Yeah. It's different than what we get later on in life. It is. um And he's not quite as like... like he He leaned into the Weasley-ness later on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I do... I really like the part... It's it's just a stupid like...
00:08:53
Speaker
It's a Chris Columbus fucking gag. Right. ah When they're trying to run away and they find the room with all the pipes. First of all, I think it's Steph is like, hey, your dad's a plumber. What are these pipes?
00:09:05
Speaker
My dad does a job, so I know these pipes. But of course, it's mouth. So he's got an answer. Also, you just get it. He's always there. What are these pipes? They're pipes. When he's like, uh, gray water, this is sewage. this but He's making this shit up. He's like, know god because he points and it says gray water. And that's the one that ends up shoving that fucking, uh, drinking fountain or pulling that dude down. Who's drinking out of the drinking foun That was a funny scene.
00:09:30
Speaker
I do like this part. I like this. Cause they're like, they're shaking the pipes and it's the country club. And yeah, the fucking guys are going drink and gets hit. Uh, the dude's in the shower. Just all the fucking ah showerno or shower knobs getting pulled through the wall. Troy gets the most fucking tsunami bidet you'll ever have. Did you see the um his seat pole?
00:09:53
Speaker
No. watching it this time Oh, you could totally you could see it clear as day. um Just the pole for the seat, just shooting him up. It's like right behind his leg.
00:10:04
Speaker
I do like that he instantly he was like, Daddy!
00:10:09
Speaker
Of course. And then one of the also i get you're right. Chunk is the hero because the next good scene Chunk also because they they've grabbed him and they're asking him questions.
Chunk's Humorous Confessions
00:10:20
Speaker
And like, tell us everything. OK, OK. Made vomit. And then I went to a movie theater and then I that is the best one. That is the fucking best one.
00:10:32
Speaker
And then I dumped my fake vomit over and then everybody was trying to run around. And they all got sick. And they're just like, yeah and they're just throwing up on everybody.
00:10:44
Speaker
And you see the the brother that's holding him is loving this. last Like he is just listening with like, yeah, you made fake vomit. Then they threw up on each other. Oh my God. That is great.
00:10:55
Speaker
But he starts with other ones. He's like, I cheated on a test when I was in first grade. I took my sister's dolly. Like it's everything. i pushed my sister down the stairs and played my dog.
00:11:09
Speaker
Dude, that's the most fucked up one if you think about it. Because, like, he pushed his sister down the stairs. She could have died. They probably that dog. And then the dog dies. So then now Chunk has killed his dog and his sister. That's okay. He's got Sloth, which is kind of dog sister.
00:11:23
Speaker
Well, not yet at that point. He's gonna. That's why he's paired off of them so well. He wouldn't have been on this adventure if he had been taken to jail for killing his sister and his dog. It's the 80s. They didn't care about the dog yet.
