The Last Episode
39 Plays7 days ago
We recorded this over a year and a half ago, and I never had the heart to mix it and release it... More so out of spite because I didn't want the show to end. But endings are a part of the cycle.
I hope you can enjoy laughing with us one last time.
From all of us at On Second Watch, thank you...

Farewell to 'On Second Watch'
00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome to On Second Watch, the first time in like a year, ah where we used to review movies to see if they're better or worse than what we remember. um Since it's been about a year recording, I think it's about time to hang up these microphones and roll the credits on this podcast. But first, we have one last hurrah in store, one last plot summary Mad Libs.
00:00:22
Speaker
And we're going kind of go through this pretty quick here. But first, I want to take you on a quick history lesson of the show. So we started out just Chris, Dana, Spaz, and I in December of 2019. Was it really that long ago?
00:00:39
Speaker
It was, it was right before COVID. Oh, wow. You brought that shitty card table to our house. Okay, first off, you know what? You and I delivered. I know. I didn't even have a table.
00:00:52
Speaker
You brought the table. I brought the single microphone for the four of us to share. And I made a lot of food. And spat and brought. Oh, God. Yes, he did. Oh, my God. That house smelled. That was a bad night of Home Alone.
00:01:08
Speaker
But, yeah, we did Home Alone. We did Bad Boys at the house. And then we did Jaws. And then funny thing happened. ah The whole world turned upside down.
00:01:19
Speaker
ah COVID came and we everyone was home. But we decided to kind of keep this going and started recording online, just kind of learning the ins and outs of what it would take to do it.
Key Moments and Guest Contributions
00:01:30
Speaker
And then we had our first guest, which was Nikki. You joined us for Clueless. The best. got us Got us all to watch Clueless, right? That was, ah I don't think, Dana, had you seen it before? I forget.
00:01:49
Speaker
come on. What's my track record here? Like one for five. hundred Good call. So yeah, you introduced Clueless to us. It was, it was a great watch. That was funny.
00:02:01
Speaker
I had a blast with that. And then, Let's see. Then Carrie officially joined the podcast when we did Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in April of 2020. And she's been with us ever since. And then Nikki, you finally gave in and joined us full time 2021 when we Batman. here are 2023. will be episode number 115. Wow.
00:02:24
Speaker
this will be episode number one hundred and fifteen Wow. Jeez. um We didn't record that many. I did a lot on my own, but... I just had to keep it going. We did like 10 and Tim did like 90 something. You guys did... It was greater than 10. 11. So...
00:02:39
Speaker
like nine something you guys did it was greater than ten ah lao It's around. No. A number of them. But, um yeah, Carrie's off doing science stuff, like speaking at conventions. She's totally dropping shit and beakers and stuff. Totally Dr. Dreadful style.
00:02:58
Speaker
That's how I imagine it, at least.
00:03:01
Speaker
Creepy crawlers. Yeah. I think she, at Comic-Con, she hosted some panel, something like, um Seriously, Guys, The Last of Us and Cordyceps are fucking terrifying. think that's what it was called, officially. Fantastic.
00:03:15
Speaker
Spaz is doing his best to stay off any lists from the government. I don't know how successful he is, but he's not here today, so... Time will tell. But we got Chris, we got Dana, we got Nikki.
00:03:28
Speaker
So we are going to bring you some bring you some good old-fashioned Mad Libs one last time, Ice.
00:03:37
Speaker
Should be fun.
00:03:40
Speaker
So I thought... Nikki, you almost, you kind of brought this up a few minutes ago. And, uh, since it's been a year since we've done a Mad Libs, I feel like we need to warm up a little bit.
Crafting the Final Mad Libs
00:03:51
Speaker
And I thought there's no better way to warm up on a plot summary, Mad Libs, then to offer up some help to our good buddy, Chris. Oh man.
00:04:05
Speaker
And Mad Libs the shit out of a dating profile. Fantastic. I will probably actually take Mad Libs and implement it into my dating profile, seeing about they get as much traction as like a bald tire in the middle of a wedding.
00:04:25
Speaker
Oh my gosh. That was a great analogy.
00:04:31
Speaker
um All right. So let's, um let's dust this thing off just like your profile and let's, it's funny because it's true. Let's start with some nouns.
00:04:41
Speaker
I both i need three nouns.
00:04:48
Speaker
Oh, okay. So these are all about Chris. Yeah. More or less. you put You put a pressure on here. Towel. Towel or tall?
00:05:01
Speaker
Nouns, not adjectives.
00:05:09
Speaker
o Man. Wow. We're really swinging for the fences there, Nikki, aren't we? I'm glad you did this, Tim. I think we desperately need some...
00:05:23
Speaker
but i'm Stretching, if you will, before we actually get into the Mad Libs. Yes, it a good thing. man Thank you, Nikki. Okay, I'm going go really weird now, okay?
00:05:36
Speaker
Let's go for it. I'm going to follow Armadillo.
00:05:41
Speaker
Perfection. And you know what, for the last noun, because I thought Nikki said towel, I'm going to say towel. Here we go. Oh my gosh. like yeah but Are we going to stick with the man as an noun?
00:05:54
Speaker
and need an noun. Man. Thank you, Nikki.
00:06:00
Speaker
And for those that didn't listen, that were privy to it earlier, she's been exercising her eyes, trying to think of words in while she's been in her room. So man is pretty good. We could have gotten something like floor or carpet.
00:06:14
Speaker
So so man man is pretty good so far. we're we're yeah we're dusk bed.
00:06:26
Speaker
all right I need two adjectives. ah so Okay. To be fair, I thought we were supposed to be describing Chris. So I was like, no how can we describe this? I get it now. I get it now with Armadillo. I was like, okay.
00:06:43
Speaker
Like I said previously, there's significant chance I take this and I dump this into my dating profile. Let us know what happens. if i start getting hits, you'll know it's a success.
00:06:55
Speaker
Or I might get banned. I'll start a business. but Yeah. um Harry. there i wish i I said thick before that, so there you go. so but Are you saying I'm fat? No. I mean,
00:07:14
Speaker
you wouldn't be wrong. Gosh, no. I'm kidding, Dana. You better be kidding. Oh, God. I'm totally kidding. All right. How about I need two verbs.
00:07:29
Speaker
I feel like I should take a step back and really let Dana and Nikki agree with it. Oh, my gosh. I feel like that would add more to this. I might chime in here and there, but I'm going primarily leave it to Nikki and Dana to fill this out. Oh, God.
00:07:44
Speaker
My verbs are the hardest. like Words are hard, I know.
00:07:51
Speaker
No verbs. Which is a word. what about Dan here? Action words. Action words. yeah Things that do. I'm like, ah all of them that I think of are so lame. I'm like, fishing.
00:08:05
Speaker
um i feel like that would add to the overall humor of the Mad Lib though. Okay, fishing. Let's go with that one. All right. I
00:08:25
Speaker
don't These are the hardest ones. Thanks for making me feel better, Dana. She's doing that for my benefit, guys. No, we are. No. I love you, but that's not why I'm doing it.
00:08:37
Speaker
I find verbs to be the hardest one. um Sweating. perfect
00:08:47
Speaker
um
00:08:52
Speaker
All right.
00:08:55
Speaker
Now I need a pet name you'd call a lover.
00:09:03
Speaker
but I got one. oh you want me to do it or you guys got one? Yeah, go for it, Chris. you should do it Lunchbox. so my Oh, there's so many layers to that one. I have a, I have a ghost busters lunchbox down on my collectible shelf. And I saw that and i was like, yes, lunchbox.
00:09:24
Speaker
yeah so i see we all yeah that Oh, that's how I do it half the time. I just look around the room around the room. That's ah yeah it's a pet name you'd call a lover. Okay. not I mean, I haven't. Maybe this is why you're single. Wow. I mean. Because I have unique pet names, Nikki? Is that why? Like, so what?
00:09:44
Speaker
So instead of a like a muffin, I call somebody lunchbox? Maybe Tupperware?
00:09:52
Speaker
It's Valentine's Day and Chris shows up with a lunchbox. as like I was thinking of you. Here's an Avengers lunchbox. Right? assemble see so that was pretty good actually that was pretty good oh my gosh that's assemble the lunch because i'm hungry we got some pin particles for you all right i need a distinguished profession a professor an animal
00:10:23
Speaker
an animal
00:10:27
Speaker
well we already have i think Dana has the best animals.
00:10:32
Speaker
Give me a sec. For some reason, a tree frog came up, but I don't know if I want to use it. I thought you literally meant a tree frog just showed up in our living room. So did I. I was like, there's a tree frog near you right now. Where are you? I like the fact that Dana's like, wait a second, no. I need i need a back pocket tree frog. I may need this later on.
00:10:53
Speaker
ah okay guys there's a reason you guys get no no my train of thought you guys will understand this i am looking at my kids toys and there happens to be a baby yoda costume and it made me think of frogs so that's where i got to treat frogs that's very cute there's a there's a process to your insanity that's fine rationalize it all you want
00:11:20
Speaker
All right. And finally, I need something that animal is known for. So that tree frog. what What's something that a tree frog is known for? Climbing. Climbing. Yeah, being sticky.
00:11:37
Speaker
ah First off, they're not sticky. It's suction cups. Oh, my God. Well, that's totally sticky. That's a way to be sticky. You make something stick with suction cups.
00:11:50
Speaker
It fits. ah I like how she's going to justify this this time around. All right. Fine.
00:12:05
Speaker
All right.
00:12:08
Speaker
All right. Here we go.
00:12:13
Speaker
Should i read it like Chris too? I don't know. What what does that even mean? but the
00:12:21
Speaker
got a lower, lower the active of my voice and just kind of just, no, why don't you just like smooth, smooth dance, like slam 10 cups of coffee and talk to the micro machine guy. Like I normally do.
00:12:33
Speaker
I'll talk like bowls of the clown right here. Also spaz. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it works. No, talk about, yeah, Alan Allman from, like, Late Night Talk Radio. There you go.
00:12:45
Speaker
No, I don't, I do not have that kind of a voice. could not hit that, that tone, but I'll just read this. Hey, Lunchbox, my name is Chris, and I could be your next thick armadillo.
00:12:58
Speaker
um my gosh
00:13:03
Speaker
I'm a professor by day in a hairy towel trying to fish a man by night. Oh, oh boy, howdy. ah Oh, no. My astrological sign is a tree frog because I like to climb and get sticky.
00:13:20
Speaker
i'm I'm like 90% sure putting this on my profile.
00:13:25
Speaker
ah If you like what you see, sweat into my DMs and let's get to know each other. Nice. That works. ah Yeah, this actually worked out a lot better than I imagined it would be.
00:13:39
Speaker
Wasn't that too bad? I mean, this seems like on on par for what is usually in those dating apps.
00:13:47
Speaker
Oh, man. Yeah, that's true. Just be blunt about it.
00:13:53
Speaker
All right. That was fantastic. I think we're yeah and i think i' probably pretty warmed up. yeah Totally warmed up. that was That was a good exercise, Tim. Thick armadillo. Thick armadillo.
00:14:09
Speaker
All right. right I am not going to tell you this this movie that we're going to do. We're going to keep it a little bit a little bit of a mystery. Oh, man. But I will give you the teaser that it is a movie we reviewed before, but it was previous to our evolution into Mad Libs. so Ooh, nice.
00:14:31
Speaker
So let's ah see if anyone one has any guesses later. But I got to figure out the order of all of us, all six of us, even though two of them aren't here.
00:14:44
Speaker
Two roles are specifically for the dudes, two for the ladies and two more could be for anyone. So who should occupy the two specific male dudes?
00:14:58
Speaker
Oh, let's and let's go you do spaz.
00:15:06
Speaker
and Yeah, that seems good. My thick armadillo has to take the other role.
00:15:14
Speaker
but All right, let's go spaz. All right, who are the two designated ladies?
00:15:26
Speaker
I mean, Carrie has to be just for old time's sake. True. Yes. I feel like that's necessary. Yeah.
00:15:35
Speaker
I can go either way. i'm fire one and I'll take the other one. It's fine. Yeah.
00:15:45
Speaker
right
00:15:49
Speaker
So Chris and Nikki. These two anybody slots. They end up kind of being rivals. One would be considered the good guy. One would be considered the bad guy.
00:16:05
Speaker
Oh, must be the bad guy. Yeah, absolutely.
00:16:09
Speaker
All right. Yeah, that's that's a given. It's settled then. it' done All right. Now, are you, are you, is your brain exercise enough? Nikki, are you ready for this? Yeah, I'm ready.
00:16:24
Speaker
all right. I need six nouns.
00:16:30
Speaker
All for me. You just mean the group? ha Yeah. just
00:16:37
Speaker
That's a lot of pressure. Rapid fire. Any nouns that you got.
00:16:44
Speaker
Pumpkin.
00:16:50
Speaker
right, you got you have five more, Nikki. Let's go. Oh, it's me. It is all me. you mean Are you really making Nikki take a dog? No, I'm kidding. You guys go ahead. Okay. No, I didn't realize that was the thing. Yeah, but Nikki only has 20% battery on her phone. All right, all right. Seriously. got what? We have pumpkin and dog.
00:17:09
Speaker
yeah And car. Car? Nice. Mm-hmm.
00:17:14
Speaker
This car, you don't want to like a specific kind of car? specific kind of dog?
00:17:23
Speaker
A Pomeranian. you can make yeah And you can make the car a Bronco because they want mine back. There you go. I'll pick the noun pillow. Pillow.
00:17:38
Speaker
yeah You are. You're also lame all of a sudden. How about toothpaste? Yeah, but see, it's those really lame ones that are weird, like toothpaste and pillow that always make it really awkward. That's how we end up with things like moist box.
00:17:51
Speaker
Yeah, that's true. This really very true. That's true. It was greasy box from the moist princess. Oh, yes. That's what it was. Thank you.
00:18:04
Speaker
Greasy box from the moist princess. That's what it was. and all It all just blurs together. All right. It's just too slippery.
00:18:16
Speaker
One more. How about tattoo? Oh, blood is better. Go with blood.
00:18:25
Speaker
I don't know why. That's a good one. All right. Let's have some fun. 10 adjectives. This a lot.
00:18:34
Speaker

00:19:32
Speaker
All right.
00:19:35
Speaker
Well, you're unlucky. Even though you guys hated verbs, you only need three of them.
00:19:40
Speaker
I feel like we have to use fishing again. We're on a nautical theme here. that's Right? asleep
00:19:49
Speaker
Two more verbs. Okay. What about driving? Driving.
00:20:02
Speaker
Lumbering. It's so lame. I cannot even like. I like it though. Just like it's just straight like driving and then then lumbering. why and Lumbering. Lumbering.
00:20:15
Speaker
Is that cutting wood? No, it's like you're going to lumber your way. It's like a like a kind of a weird stumble walk. like You're lumbering towards something. Like you're sauntering. No, not a sauntering. Or like a lumber, like a Frankenstein lumber.
00:20:28
Speaker
You're lumbering. Like when Spaz gets out of a chair after a few beers, he lumbers towards the bathroom. Okay, all right.
00:20:43
Speaker
Nikki's like, that's not a word. I'm it is. No, I'm going with it. i I'm okay with it. All right.
00:20:53

00:21:07
Speaker
Malls will always be busy in our hearts. Mm-hmm.
00:21:14
Speaker
I remember the mall. What is that? Sit around and listen. Let me tell you about a tale about stores that were in a bigger store that you drove to. That's right. Just walk around aimlessly and buy a pretzel. Maybe maybe a smoothie.
00:21:28
Speaker
Great pastime. All right. I need a medieval title.
00:21:39

00:22:46
Speaker
You're so welcome. Ruined everything. I'm going to get to go out on a bang with this one. oh Dana, make it better by pick.

00:23:45
Speaker
Alright. Um...

Hey, this is our this is our potentially our last Mad Libs, so just go wild. I got two body parts I need. but we We know what he would say. That is up to you if you want to put that down on paper. What would he say, Chris?
00:24:16
Speaker
I'm not saying it. You said coccyx like four times in the previous man's list. It's the closest he can get.
00:24:26
Speaker
I feel like he'd say something like taint.
00:24:32
Speaker
He would. He totally would.
00:24:37
Speaker
Channel your inner spaz. Yeah, so I just think of the most vulgar. Yeah, the whole worst. Basically anything below the waist is a fair game for Dan. Oh my god.
00:24:50
Speaker
Below the waist above the decaps. Yeah, we're keeping a very small margin of... Alright, what's another body part we can use?
00:25:02
Speaker
Give me ah one second because I'm going to come up with something really weird. Oh no. was going to say, what's that like, what's the ridge above your lip in between your nose? This is like Frenum or something like that.

Speaker
Yeah. Yes. I probably slaughtered saying that correctly, but oh well. So chest. i believe the term is yeah I believe the term is chesticles. ah yeah there you yeah Tim's face is just like he's Googling it now. He's like, he's regretting his decision.

Speaker
How crass can we get in one phrase? Let's think of Dan. um I need a word to describe the size of something.
00:26:47
Speaker
Big or small. Doesn't matter.
00:26:54
Speaker
Rotund. Minuscule? Oh, there you go.
00:26:59
Speaker
Polar opposites. Yep. Our last one. I need a low-paying job. Fast food worker. I was going to make that personal, but I like that better.
00:27:14
Speaker
ah Maybe dog walker? I don't know.
00:27:23
Speaker
All right.
00:27:27
Speaker
The movie that this is based off of is the classic. The one that Dana thought very highly of.
00:27:40
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:27:43
Speaker
Chris loved it. Spaz loves it. I forget what Carrie and Nikki think because they weren't here for it. Oh, no. Oh, man. Big Trouble, Little China.
00:27:54
Speaker
I knew as soon as you said that, that's what it was going to be. It's a classic. It's a great one. Big Trouble in Little China. Who doesn't love John Carpenter?
00:28:08
Speaker
I can name two people. um I can name a few. All right.
00:28:18
Speaker
Spaz is a slippery pumpkin trunk truck driver who who alongside his longtime friend, Tim, the Dewey Pomeranian restaurant owner. Oh, my. What but dog?
00:28:32
Speaker
To the mall. Nothing like Dewey Pomeranian.
00:28:38
Speaker
They take a trip to the mall to pick up Tim's fiance, Carrie, the nasty Bronco who just arrived in America. One more time! I know!
00:28:51
Speaker
Another poor one out. Yeah.
00:29:02
Speaker
I hope she doesn't hear this until it's live.
00:29:08
Speaker
ah Suddenly the Chinese street gang called the Knights of Denial appear.
00:29:16
Speaker
They fish and kidnap Carrie. Spaz and Tim track them to Chinatown where a battle breaks out between two ancient warrior societies. When the three storms played by the crunchy Timothy Oliphant, the muscular Denzel Washington and the timid Ryan Gosling.
00:29:33
Speaker
Oh, there you go. Thank you. ah Somebody was looking out to me there. Yeah. ah When the three storms drive, one of the society's spaz uses his truck to try to flee, but accidentally runs over Nikki, who happens to be the limp pillow sorcerer. right Oh, no, not the limp pillow.
00:29:58
Speaker
this actually a makes makes sense the limp pillow sorcerer who needs to sacrifice a girl with rotund chesticles to break a curse like every plot of every 80s young adult action film that's right they flee on foot but Spaz's truck is stolen they seek the help of Chris the old defeated toothpaste sorcerer
00:30:26
Speaker
and Part-time dog walker to learn how to... ah Okay, that needs to go to the dating profile. Occupation toothpaste sorcerer.
00:30:37
Speaker
yeah Part-time dog walker with it.
00:30:45
Speaker
Just Colgate my way around town.
00:30:49
Speaker
thats And they seek the help of the old defeated toothpaste sorcerer and part-time dog walker to learn how to rescue Carrie, who just happens to be a girl with rotund chesticles.
00:31:02
Speaker
There, partner up with Dana, a mammoth blood lawyer.
00:31:09
Speaker
God. Who also happens to have rotund chesticles as well as the loving affection from Oh, my gosh. ah
00:31:22
Speaker
Will Spaz ever find his truck and lumber toward Dana?
00:31:28
Speaker
Will Tim ever become the stocky hero he's destined to be? Will Carrie and Dana be respected for the women they are and not because they have rotundant testicles?
00:31:43
Speaker
And finally, will Sorcerers Nikki and Chris end their fight after wiggling their taints at each other? but quite the quite the battle kind of movie yes
00:32:02
Speaker
sounds like we've got trouble ah big trouble and we got something that's for sure
00:32:09
Speaker
What is this? It's a tank off.
00:32:15
Speaker
No, no, no, no, no. What is it? It's the pinkies or is it the thumbs? It's the pinkies. Yeah, he grabs it. No, he grabs it around his thumbs and his pinkies are.
00:32:26
Speaker
It's pinkies. Yeah, like that. Yeah, I think that's right. Yeah. weird. It's weird. Or maybe it is the pinky. You know what? Google this. I'm not Googling. I don't know. not Googling. Big trouble looking at a hand pinky. That'll get you something you don't want.
00:32:43
Speaker
Exactly. I'm really ah not looking forward to the the AI translating this transcript and then adding all sorts of weird stuff to my feed, but yeah so be it. oh That'll be interesting. hu Well, that's all I got, guys.
00:32:58
Speaker
um You guys want to know what our top rated films of all time were?
Favorite Films and Reflections
00:33:02
Speaker
Sure. Yeah. yeah Cool. Let me figure out how to do this now.
00:33:11
Speaker
We had a couple popular ones.
00:33:16
Speaker
We did. ah For some reason, I feel like Jaws was popular.
00:33:24
Speaker
i can be wrong I think Super Mario's made me laugh. Post watch. o All right. So let's see. can Can you guys guess any of the films that are in our top four? I'm going say Jaws.
00:33:42
Speaker
I would say Super Mario since that was one of my favorites. Episodes. um yeah um I'm talking about movies. Our our final ah rewatch review of the movie.
00:33:53
Speaker
Oh, like the score of the highest. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were talking about more. Totally misunderstood. Yeah, I thought you said popular as far as how many listens we had. oh no i know I switched platforms like three times. I have no clue how many listens we've had. gotcha ah So so our our favorite movie as far as the group.
00:34:12
Speaker
Our rewatch. This is going to come out so horrible. I'm going to guess The Big Lebowski because I feel like it was one of my favorites.
00:34:25
Speaker
But I feel like some other people really liked it But I can't remember if everyone did. Some people probably didn't. it That's one of my guesses. Big Lebowski. I want to say rewatch wise, one of the highest scores was Girl Interrupted. who yeah Yeah, that probably was.
00:34:47
Speaker
hello how ah What about into the future Back to the Girl Interrupted was number 13. Really? Wow. Big Lebowski was number 14.
00:34:59
Speaker
Oh, dang. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
00:35:07
Speaker
That was number 9. I'm getting closer. Back to the Future. Back to the Future was number 3. She got one. got one What about Inception? Inception. Inception was number one.
00:35:20
Speaker
There you go. Wow. Come on, Dana, you got this. obviously Obviously, in my heart, it's the fog and Big Trouble in Little China.
00:35:31
Speaker
I knew that was what it really was. so I got to scroll really far to get to the fog. by the way It's just me.
00:35:40
Speaker
It's all right. It's not for everybody. want me to tell you i mean i got I got one of them. and we got No, two of them. yep So number four was Jurassic Park. oh yeah Number two was Hocus Pocus.
00:35:54
Speaker
Wow. so I forgot we ranked it that high. I know, obviously, I gave it a 10. I gave it a 9.75. Because we won't talk about the sequel.
00:36:07
Speaker
Because that was never made. That never happened. You know, I never actually watched You were doing yourself but you were doing yourself a favor then. ah Good. See, that's what I was afraid of, which is why I wanted to i decided to ignore it. Let me just go grab my little soapbox over here. Hold on a second.
00:36:22
Speaker
Tuss it off. No, i I won't go into it. I will not go into it. It was just it was Disney Channel-fied and mass marketed. It's just not at all what it should have been. Yeah.
00:36:38
Speaker
Yeah. So we reviewed a total of 40 films. Wow. Not too bad. Some of those, i mean, uh, you know, the way we do this is we basically have to talk twice per movie. So we, we talked quite a bit.
00:36:56
Speaker
inception was the highest. Our average total was a nine.
00:37:02
Speaker
um and our lowest score. Anyone want to guess what the score was? Super Mario Bros. Negative one. we're going to go It was below zero. Super Mario Bros.
00:37:13
Speaker
yeah I couldn't go below zero because it just throws everything off. the actual Super Mario Bros. is actually number two in terms of no worst rated ever. no yep We had a film that was worse.
00:37:27
Speaker
Is it The Fog? Nope. You guys don't remember this one, do you? No, probably blocked it out of my head. Wait, was it a shark one or something? Oh, it was. I know what it is. the sand. That's right. Gosh, it was like something to do with the beach.
00:37:43
Speaker
That man was in a barrel for half the movie. I know. I was like, did he ever get out of the barrel? got sucked in. Yep. Oh, boy. Oh, God. Glad I missed that one. I can't block that one from my memory. Oh, I'm glad you did, too, because it was awful. We live streamed. We watched it together. It was awesome.
00:38:01
Speaker
We did. That's fun, though. there was There was a lot of laugh at it because we were just that stunned. That movie was so bad. And I love shitty movies.
00:38:12
Speaker
But, man, that was like Birdemic bad.
00:38:20
Speaker
it was It was pretty bad. It was. Yeah.
00:38:25
Speaker
So bad. That deserves last place. I still think Super Mario is it still just as bad. It was 0.8, so it wasn't that was much higher. so That makes sense.
00:38:41
Speaker
yeah the The sand came out to be 0.1. point one yeah Oh my gosh. there was no reason That's higher than I thought. There was no redeeming factors of that movie at all. That's why. I mean, at least Super Mario Bros. had Bob Hoskins and Dennis Hopper and John Leguizamo and Big Bertha. I have a question. Was the only reason The Sand had that high of a rating was because it was a movie?
00:39:06
Speaker
I think it's because at one point there was also boobs. I'm not going lie. Yeah, there was a lot of boobs in that movie. yeah I mean, Spaz voted. i mean so Well, actually, Spaz gave it a 0. Chris, you gave it a 0.
00:39:18
Speaker
The rest of us gave it a 0. Why did I give it a 0? What did i do? because it Probably because it was a movie. Yeah, that sounds like something you said.
00:39:29
Speaker
i think I think it's because I have a soft spot for like shitty horror movies. And despite... like This being absolutely atrocious acting wise, someone was like, we should make a movie about killer sand. And to me, I'm like, that deserves credit.
00:39:43
Speaker
That deserves credit. You had enough wherewithal. You're like, I to make a movie about about sand. And it'd be deadly sand. And I'm like, yeah, I'm here for this. Let's go. Isn't that essentially Tim?
00:39:56
Speaker
That was Tim and me. Tim texted me and I was like, yeah, I'll do And then Tim's like, we should get everybody involved. And I was like, yeah, it was all Tim though. We saw the trailer and said, this is like, looks like the hottest garbage ever. Let's do it.
00:40:08
Speaker
Tim, that was, the that was right there. I think we, you were sharing, we were sharing trailers. It was the sand. And then there was, i think it was a ghost shark or it was ghost shark or Santa shark. One of the two. sand Yeah. There was two of them. Yeah. But yeah, ghost shark was another one.
00:40:21
Speaker
The sand. was was definitely a one that you were talking about and you were able to find it streaming and we went with that. It's funny, the sand, we had a nostalgia, just anticipation of like a 3.5. So we knew it was going to be bad. But the fact that it dropped so far, it was actually the the biggest drop that we had between our nostalgia and our watch score of a, it drops 3.38 points.
00:40:47
Speaker
I mean, would none of us have seen it as far as nostalgia. no So we were going in with this, this assumption that it would be somewhat redeeming. And there was a man in a barrel for an hour and a half. Do you want to know what this, do you want to guess what the second most dropped movie was?
00:41:05
Speaker
Oh, that'll be interesting. So yeah um I'm going to, was the Jurassic Park? No. Jurassic Park, I think, went up. i'm Oh my gosh. I'm going to see. let's see The biggest gap.
00:41:16
Speaker
um What was the one with the robots? The robots and the old people? Like the aliens? That movie is not included. You guys ruined my childhood. but That movie was about robots making robot babies at the end. and It was really uncomfortable. yeah and I wanted to live that blissful idea that it wasn't that, and now I'm like, oh my god, that is an awful movie. What the hell?
00:41:47
Speaker
Yep. That movie was just like, that yep. That movie was very like, i remember watching it as a kid and thinking like, Oh yeah. Robots. Yeah. Cute old robots and old people. And then watched again. It's like really dark.
00:42:00
Speaker
They're getting like evicted. They're like destroying it And they're like, you know what? We saw this by making these two robots bang. And I'm like, this is getting uncomfortable. Nice. And they all watched it. They're all like, look at all the lights. Look at the lights show. I'm like, give them some privacy. They're making little tinfoil babies.
00:42:18
Speaker
Oh yeah. I am. I am proud of us though, that after doing 40 films, we only have 13 that actually scored lower than our nostalgia, which shocked me. Cause I thought doing this, it'd be closer to 50% or more. Cause know, you see movies as a kid, you think they're going to be,
00:42:36
Speaker
not good when you're older, but only 13 of them dropped. Wow. Wow. I mean, because i mean, I mean, nostalgia is a heavy, ah heavy thing. So I, it is powerful. Yeah. So which one's all dropped? Can you yeah go through the way I'll go from most to least. So the sand, obviously, and batteries not included.
00:42:57
Speaker
Conair. That was a huge surprise to me. That's there's individuals of this podcast that didn't like it. We all went down in our rating after watching it again. I mean, Nicolas Cage's hair can only save so much.
00:43:11
Speaker
That's Then Super Mario Brothers. It was worse than we thought it was going to be. um The Matrix went down. That did not hold up like it like we thought it was going to. You know what? that Yeah, you're right, man. That's crazy how that didn't hold up.
00:43:25
Speaker
um Meet the Parents went down. i did not. Chris skipped that one. Yeah. Batman and Robin went down. I'm shocked that went down.
00:43:36
Speaker
right movie so bad First five minutes was entertaining. I remember that. And then it was like, okay. I think half the reason I hate that movie is I just do not like Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy.
00:43:51
Speaker
Yeah. you got a big problem with her. Not her in general. I just heard as Poison Ivy. Yeah. It was a stupid one. Jingle All the Way, The Fog, Batman. Wait, before The Fog, which one?
00:44:04
Speaker
Jingle All the Way. It went down? It went down. That's right. I remember why I hated all you people. Your score went down too, sir. So, you know, I don't include, don't, don't meet with the people. All right. Me and dad and Arnold, we're going to go and have ourselves a very happy holiday.
00:44:21
Speaker
See nostalgia. It's powerful. He doesn't even remember not liking it as much. It's already back up in his head. Nikki. I don't even remember what happened last week. Yeah. That's the thing. A lot of these films that went down, i would i would go back and re-watch them anyway.
00:44:33
Speaker
yeah I'll watch Conair again. I'll probably watch Matrix again soon. yeah Jingle All the Way. Jingle All the Way like every year. yeah Jingle All the Way is like my dad it's like one of my dad's favorite like Christmas movies. so We watch it all the time.
00:44:47
Speaker
That's cool. That's probably why I like it. Because it's like a nostalgic thing. Right. Batman. Pacific Rim went down. of love Pacific Rim.
00:44:59
Speaker
and Not as much as you thought you did. Yeah, I mean, where were you on the minute podcast re record rewatch day or whatever? Nostalgia day. what I'm probably giving it a lower score than I remember doing, yeah.
00:45:13
Speaker
And then there's um Dog Soldiers and then the other guys. You know what? Did I go down on Dog Soldiers? No. No, you didn't. No, right. Because it's great.
00:45:24
Speaker
That was totally me. It was really bad. don't even remember watching whatever this movie is. I watch again. No. half I need to watch it with subtitles. there was no yeah yeah We watched it on YouTube because there was no easy way for those that did not own the DVD.
00:45:42
Speaker
There was no streaming services that provided. it Now there is. I believe it is... and want to say it's Amazon Prime that has it available for streaming. Not only that, they offered a like collector's edition Blu-ray. So if you're ever in town, I now own that as well. Yeah.
00:45:59
Speaker
But yes, Soldiers is like the de facto werewolf movie. And it is fantastic. And for those that are listening, you should go, oh, there we go. Dana remembers now and how much she hated it. And she ran it through the mud. And yep, I didn't forget.
00:46:16
Speaker
Sorry. She took a Bronco, put it in a mud pit, hit the back tires all over my movie. I remember really liking that house. Don't you lie to me, Dana. You're not sorry. You hated that movie.
00:46:32
Speaker
So many movies for me. I'm just like, I'm so sorry I did it once or twice.
00:46:39
Speaker
Fog and Dog Soldiers. Everyone's like... And the fog, I get the defense because it is a very slow. and I was, I was actually, I think dog soldiers is my fault, Chris. I was real pissed about that. I still remember you being, hated yeah I was very mad, but I didn't, it turned out, you know, you explained the things that I was like, this is, this made no sense.
00:47:00
Speaker
And then it was like, Oh, I just couldn't see it because it was a crappy YouTube version and it was too dark. So. yeah I do need to rewatch that Watching it on YouTube was painful. I owned a copy...
00:47:14
Speaker
of the DVD because I found it in a bargain bin one when me and my ex-girlfriend went to Kmart. That's how old this was when I bought it. yeah It was at Kmart. Wow.
00:47:26
Speaker
My ex and I walked in and I was like, oh God, bargain bin. And I went there and like was sifting through it I was like, oh my God, Dog Soldiers. so The show that I watched on the Sci-Fi channel. And she's like, what?
00:47:37
Speaker
was like, werewolves? And she's I'm like, I'm buying this. And she was like, oh, okay.
00:47:46
Speaker
But to her credit, I believe she actually sat down and watched it with me. so
00:47:50
Speaker
Very nice. yeah I think the um the most successful film on here in terms of going up from our nostalgia was actually Back to the Future. So the fact that it's, what was it, number two on our list?
00:48:03
Speaker
Yeah. so Number three. you Overall affected... Yeah, that' that sounds right. ah The fact it went up 1.58 points, which is our really her biggest gain. Wow.
00:48:14
Speaker
um We thought pretty highly of it, but then I think just all of it came sweeping back after watching it again. so Back to the Future is a de facto winner of the podcast if there is such a thing.
00:48:25
Speaker
You know what? and and I think it deserves it. i mean like I think I was in that boat because like I was like, oh yeah, Back to the Future. it's not a bad movie, you know i haven't but I haven't seen it in forever. And I watched it. like, man, for being, what was it, 80, 85 it came out.
00:48:41
Speaker
you know So being 38 years old, 37, give or take, I don't know. I was like, this movie holds up incredibly well. Yeah.
00:48:54
Speaker
So yeah, for some reason I have, I have all the release dates for all the films, but for some reason back to future is one hundred percent wrong. It's the only one that's wrong. So really I'm, umm tell you what came out i I'm almost like 80% sure it was 1985.
00:49:08
Speaker
That sounds about right. I think it was when we were born. Yeah. It was like 85 and 88 for the sequel. Then like or for the third okay and sounds right you know it was put it this way it was in the it was between the 80s and like like late 80s when they all came out so yeah all right well that's uh then really quickly before we wrap up here just call out some highlights just of things that i think are of significance so we joke about super mario brothers but
00:49:44
Speaker
For those that were there, we ended up raising over $900 for charity, which is awesome.
Charitable Achievements and Podcast Legacy
00:49:52
Speaker
She's amazing. love that. We bought a couple Nintendo Switch ah lights and a bunch of games and a bunch of activities and donated it to Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor.
00:50:03
Speaker
So that was awesome. That was made it worth it. um Going down the list. Ah, The Wedding Singer. So I sang Somebody Kill Me, Please. I wasn't there for that one, yeah.
00:50:14
Speaker
um that was That was a fun night. I had to warn my neighbors that I was going to be singing at night in the garage. the kids but That was good, though. I don't know if anyone reported they heard me or not, Dana. Did our neighbors say anything?
00:50:31
Speaker
don't remember. yeah But you did warn them. I did. They were what? What? What are you doing? You're like, don't worry about it. Hey, don't worry. um That was fun. I think those were the big ones. And then, oh yeah, can't forget. We started out doing over under just for fun.
00:50:51
Speaker
and And then we started doing Mad Libs. Yep. Let's see. what When did we start that? That was...
00:51:03
Speaker
Mad Libs was... Was it the other guys? I think so. Bill and Ted? It was a few movies there. No, because I wasn't there for Bill and Ted, and I was there for the introduction of Mad Libs.
00:51:17
Speaker
But it was after... It was like four or five movies there, because you were like, let's mix it up a little bit. um And you introduced to Mad Libs. I want to say, it was it Con Air?
00:51:28
Speaker
Um...
00:51:31
Speaker
I got it right here. Um, plot summary. Mad Libs was introduced
00:51:41
Speaker
with the other guys. That was the first one we did. All right. Well, there you go.
00:51:46
Speaker
It wasn't good, but it started, it started to be down a ah path of, uh, learning and, uh, Dana's favorite word iterating. and God, I gotta use those buzzwords.
00:52:00
Speaker
That's right. Made it, uh, humorous. That was good times. Yeah.
00:52:07
Speaker
I think that's, that's everything. Anyone got any closing words before we shut this down and who knows if we'll ever do it again. It was a fun run. It was, it went certainly further than I thought it would. I thought it would be a kind of, uh, you know, kind of a COVID thing. And we went in what four, four years running. So, uh, it was certainly a lot of fun and, uh,
00:52:29
Speaker
glad we had the opportunity to do it. Yeah. I mean, thank you for making me watch a lot of movies that I wouldn't have ever otherwise watched.
00:52:40
Speaker
That was the secret goal of this entire thing, was to make sure she watched at least at least two or three John Carpenter movies. right You guys succeeded if that was the goal. You succeeded so well. We still need to make you watch The Thing, though.
00:52:55
Speaker
You may actually get me to do that willingly oh yeah at some point. We'll have to get together, all of us, and watch it because it is a fantastic movie. Yeah, I agree. it was super Dana, same thing. I got to watch a lot of movies that I never would have watched and really appreciated enjoyed that. And it was a lot of fun.
00:53:14
Speaker
And also, i will every once in a while, I think of a Soft Schlang Painter, and it still makes me laugh. don't know what massive was anymore, but it was just so perfect.
00:53:30
Speaker
It might have been batteries not included, actually. I got it. remember It was batteries not included. stop Because it was that creepy like perv painter dude. yeah Yeah. He's this the soft schlong painter. So if there was one good thing to come out of that movie, was the Mad Libs. Anyway.
00:53:50
Speaker
Yes. There's and we can oh there's so many value nothing else yeah there's so many fun Mad things. Mostly Carrie. Yeah, poor
00:54:04
Speaker

00:54:16
Speaker
No, it was worse than that. It Nasty Bronco, I think. Nasty Bronco. um I'm pretty sure I'm to call her that moving forward and be like, oh, you're like a nasty Bronco.
00:54:28
Speaker
Are you nasty? Buck nasty. For Carrie. That's right. um so yeah i i appreciate you guys uh dealing with my crazy ideas to do things like this you guys were just yeah whatever you got pizza and it just started a thing so much know i didn't offer food anymore there's so much halloween candy pizza and home alone it's for the best yeah i'm glad we didn't we stopped with the food i just i don't think we'd be able to survive if we continued doing that that that house was a war zone of those are bad odors
