FH Mini 6 - Missed That Movie! - Rusty: A Dog's Tale

Stuart Wellington

[0:00] uh okay guys so uh thanks for joining me tonight uh tonight is the inaugural episode of a new

[0:11] flop house thing that i am calling missed that movie that's right we are going to be talking

[0:18] about a movie that we have uh missed for whatever reason for the podcast okay uh and in this case

[0:24] i've taken it upon myself to watch that movie and i will now describe this movie uh you can ask for

[0:31] further information if it will help you make the final decision at the end of this episode where

[0:36] you have to decide either a you're glad we missed this movie b maybe we should have watched this movie

[0:44] for the podcast or c fuck that i'm gonna watch that movie tonight okay i think so so let's call it glad

Elliott Kalan

[0:53] to miss that movie sad to miss that movie or had to unmiss that movie had to unmiss that just to get

[1:01] a little bit of rhyming in there that's the kind of punch-up i was looking for this premise arrives

[1:05] fully formed i think i am uh right out of stew's head yeah it's leaped from stew's head fully formed

Stuart Wellington

[1:13] just like his cat now as uh as i was explaining before we started recording i'm going to start uh

[1:21] i'm going to start explaining this bit and if you guys interrupt me i'll be furious oh that's kind

[1:26] of not the opposite of i mean that is the opposite of what you said you said we can interrupt a lot but

Elliott Kalan

[1:30] let's do first i want it first before you get into the movie i want to thank you for your service

[1:34] in watching this film uh in your off time your non-flop time yeah yeah i was just a civilian

Stuart Wellington

[1:41] watching this movie guys yeah if there was a crime being committed i couldn't be like stop i'm an

Elliott Kalan

[1:46] official podcaster no this is the uh this is the articles that say like an off-duty podcaster

Stuart Wellington

[1:51] watched a bad movie the other day i'm like just you know just doing my citizen's job uh ma'am and

[1:58] fellows uh okay so uh the movie in question is a movie called rusty a dog's tale from 1998 i'm guessing

[2:07] we missed it because it came out in 1998 yes if we had been doing the podcast 21 years ago or 22 years

Elliott Kalan

[2:14] ago i guess perhaps we would have now what kind of punctuation is used in this title there's only

Stuart Wellington

[2:19] one colon and it's at it's at the end of rusty just like rusty the dog rusty colon a dog's colon tail

[2:28] that's not it yeah no usually there is a colon near the tail though um now stew you've already

Elliott Kalan

[2:34] fallen into my first trap i believe there's probably an apostrophe in dogs right and that counts as

Stuart Wellington

[2:41] punctuation it does count yep oh you got me uh so yeah i guess kids so that's one point on the board

Dan McCoy

[2:48] for me ding okay i'll tally those up at the end of the game still unclear about the point system but i'll

Stuart Wellington

[2:55] continue to play now i actually watched this movie twice the first time i watched recently

[3:00] god damn it the first time i watched it recently on a twitch stream with my uh with friend of the

[3:07] podcast alex smith for his twitch show big howl and possum uh but let's just get right into this movie

[3:15] now normally you would look at a movie with just a single written imdb review that is 10 out of 10

[3:21] featured plenty of animals and family 2 10 out of 10 you're like that's probably a good movie

[3:28] and yes right off the bat i'm gonna have to explain i mean that would count as 100 on rotten tomatoes

Elliott Kalan

[3:34] right that's 100 that's one review for 10 out of 10 that's 100 i mean dan you're the expert but

Stuart Wellington

[3:40] that's sort of fried fresh right sort of fried fresh it's sort of fried green tomatoes i was thinking

Elliott Kalan

[3:48] about fried green tomatoes yeah you took that's you took you took a serta pd serta mattress you fried

Stuart Wellington

[3:54] it up and you served it fresh yeah see in the apocalypse when we have to we have to fry our rat

[4:02] burgers on top of the burning serta mattresses that we've stolen out of the husks of buildings um

[4:08] so i have to explain that uh the first thing you have to understand is that this is a talking animal

[4:14] movie all the animals in this movie have their mouths digitally manipulated or possibly they could be

Dan McCoy

[4:21] very talented dog actors okay so what's the quality of this is this like you know your high quality babe

[4:28] manipulations or is this a talking cat sort of like the mouth opens and you're into a black void

Stuart Wellington

[4:34] kind of look oh that's a tough one i would say it's probably in the middle okay because it doesn't

[4:41] look like somebody just like cut a triangle out of the film yeah to simulate a mouth does it look like

Elliott Kalan

[4:47] the animals are trying to get peanut butter off of their teeth or does it look like that are they

Stuart Wellington

[4:51] making the shapes of syllable sounds with their mouths they they are shaping some syllables with

[4:57] their mouths it depends on the animal of course like uh the the raccoon it looks like his tongue's

[5:03] going all over the place uh it's very dirty um now the other thing you have to understand is that

[5:08] this movie has an all-star cast that's right hal holbrook rue mcclanahan lorraine newman

[5:15] charles fleischer that is roger fucking rabbit uh and the club keeper rodney dangerfield dog me

[5:23] rogerfield himself bobcat gold plate also an animal version of his name steward hold on there's

Elliott Kalan

[5:30] already a perfectly good dog version of rodney dangerfield's name rover dangerfield which was

Stuart Wellington

[5:36] the subject of its own film it's not dog knee roger dog they did it's not dog knee roger dog you think

Dan McCoy

[5:44] they didn't say rover dog knee fell because it sounded too much like carl lagerfeld guys my guess is

Elliott Kalan

[5:53] that's probably why i assume that's probably why and they didn't want to get the wrong audience

[5:57] the only other thing i can imagine is that rodney dangerfield had such a low name recognition among

[6:02] children already that they didn't want to make it even harder for people to understand who this is

Stuart Wellington

[6:06] supposed to be complicate the pun and at this point you're probably like that's all the stars this movie

[6:13] could possibly have and you're totally wrong at this point because patrick duffy's in it

[6:17] suzanne somers dougie doug it's a step-by-step reunion yep and they and they play a married couple

[6:23] now granted they are a married couple of dogs but still um and in a strange twist bobcat goldthwaite

[6:30] does not play a bobcat nope he does the voice for jet the turtle uh and also dougie doug does dougie

[6:36] doug do the voice of a of a dog no he does turbo the turtle a dougie wait who does dougie doug oh so

Elliott Kalan

[6:44] he and vodkhead are both turtles yeah they're a pair of turtles they're kind of like the greek chorus

Stuart Wellington

[6:49] of the movie okay um and and in a credited uh in a accredited performance vincent chavelli is in

[6:57] this movie as well uh yeah you know um okay so he can move things himself exactly dan um so

[7:05] not not the other vincent chavelli you're like at this point you're like okay so the players are all

[7:13] assembled give me a setting steward okay so this movie takes place in and around a ranch owned by

[7:21] the callahans an elderly couple of course hal holbrook and rue mcclanahan and maintained by them and

[7:26] their grandchildren a pair of orphans jory and tess in california florida arizona one of those things

[7:34] could be one of those florida ranches yeah yeah now the movie takes place over a couple of days

[7:39] could be in alaska could be i mean i mean based on based on uh you know the mountains in the background

[7:46] it's probably not new york city no maybe washington dc new york does have mountains in the background

[7:51] example a rumbling the bronx yep yep you keep bringing that up i don't know why i agreed to it

[7:58] agreed to it the first time and now you always have that in your back pocket so the movie takes place over

[8:03] a couple of days the movie begins on jory's birthday yep one of the orphans now conflict is introduced

[8:09] that's right when bart and bertha our old friend conflict rears his head in this drama

[8:16] bart and bertha are trying to run a scheme they're uh related in some way to jory and tess now who plays

[8:25] that's uh charles fleischer and lorraine newman oh okay great so they're kind of wacky they are as

[8:32] wacky as so they are played like as if the disney channel was trying to make a remake of the movie

[8:42] blood simple but using the cast crew and production value and locations of disney's hey dude television show

[8:49] was hey dude a disney show that was on nickelodeon that is it was nickelodeon it doesn't it all blends

Dan McCoy

[8:57] together now that goes near to the top of my list of explanations that just made me more confused

Elliott Kalan

[9:04] i mean this is where you and i part ways dan because it could not be clearer to me yeah so bart and bertha

Stuart Wellington

[9:12] are trying to run a scheme you know that's what they do uh where they can find a way to adopt these two

[9:17] orphans because the orphans have trust funds and they're expecting some big inheritance and while

[9:22] boyd and edna that is the callahans uh they might lose their ranch if they can't make their monthly

[9:29] bank payment at the end of the month okay so we have a ticking clock here sure the orphans are being

[9:34] fostered or these are their grandparents they're it's their grandparents okay and they're and they're

[9:40] somehow related to a bart and bertha i think they mentioned that they're cousins at one point and then

[9:45] they give them ten dollars to leave and are bart and bertha are they a couple are they married or

[9:51] they i'm assuming uh they there's a chance that they're uh they're like brother and sister or

[9:59] something there's at no point do they express any kind of romantic interest in each other so i don't

[10:04] know but then they could also have been together for a long time and after a while you know romantic

Elliott Kalan

[10:08] interest can kind of like wane a little bit oh yeah those embers cool but it's a different instead of the

Stuart Wellington

[10:13] heat of passion it's the warmth of affection yeah that like it's the warmth of like a homely hearth

[10:18] yeah a homely hearth rather than rather than a raging bonfire yeah an unattractive hearth yeah

Elliott Kalan

[10:27] okay as opposed to one of those those uh outside the home hearths that's just like tempting you you know

Stuart Wellington

[10:32] so let's introduce ourselves to the animals now uh the their ranch is filled with all your typical

[10:39] uh farm animals you have uh our hero is rusty the dog he's a little beagle and he has uh he lives in

[10:47] the barn with his mother and father and their litter of puppies uh there's chickens there's these two

[10:52] turtles that i mentioned before there's a pair of ducks uh who are always fighting over who gets to sit

[10:58] on an egg and then your classic farm animal an elephant now wait hold on just a clarity for the egg thing

Dan McCoy

[11:04] are they fighting that's what you want clarity about dan is the fight that they that one of the that they

[11:09] want to sit on the egg or they're trying to get the other person to sit on the egg they each want to

Stuart Wellington

[11:14] sit on the egg and it's it's uh i think it to each of them the egg is both a status symbol and it's a

[11:21] last final thing they can grasp on to is some kind of connection to their uh right to maybe their

Dan McCoy

[11:27] four because they're i don't know because my i mean this says something about you know my fitness to be

[11:33] a parent of any kind but i would be arguing to not sit on the egg i that would be my position

[11:40] like please don't make me sit on the egg there you know there's feed and and bread that i want to go

Elliott Kalan

[11:46] eat elsewhere well i i have two i have two i have two possible explanations to this one this is a classic

[11:52] king solomon's duck scenario in which both ducks are claiming the same egg and the only way to

[11:57] prove who's the real parent is to threaten to cut the egg in two and scramble that yoke number two

[12:03] now i don't know if there are any specifically uh anal erogenous zones for a duck but perhaps sitting

[12:10] on the egg provides a certain amount of pleasurable pressure in areas that ducks like to have touched i

[12:15] don't know i have not experimented that much with the backsides of ducks maybe in the future

[12:21] yeah stay tuned guys you this the part that dan i think it's that's covered in an article in play

[12:27] duck magazine probably oh yeah yeah well of course well because well i mean in in in the in duck world

[12:33] it's just taken for granted that that's where you would you know you'd be attracted now uh if i can uh

[12:40] ask the question that i thought dan was gonna ask why do they have an elephant on their farm okay

Stuart Wellington

[12:45] it's never explained although later on the elephant ellie uh who can talk uh plays baseball with the

[12:51] kids so and who does the voice the elephant jane singer who also did the voice for coo the pigeon

[12:57] no kidding uh okay so uh the only animals once again i mentioned the animals talk all of them

Elliott Kalan

[13:03] so jane jane singer it appears to say mostly a voice uh actor a number of different video games

Dan McCoy

[13:09] yeah on her imdb i will say uh if if you know aficionados of uh animal voiceover if you were

[13:18] wondering whether frank welker is in this movie he is in this movie as boss oh good oh he's the boss

Elliott Kalan

[13:26] duck okay so this is a frank welker joint something i want to i want to point out about uh jane singer's

[13:31] imdb is that her most recent credit is from a video game call or perhaps a cartoon a cartoon

[13:38] called marvel superhero adventures frost fight in which she voices mrs claus now as far as i knew

[13:44] santa claus and mrs claus were not officially part of the marvel universe canon but apparently they are

[13:49] here so i guess uh look forward to a new santa claus comic from marvel uh yeah dan do you have any

Dan McCoy

[13:56] opinions on the whether or not santa claus is part of the marvel universe well i do think that i mean

[14:01] i believe that i've seen him in marvel comics before it's i mean not that uh i mean usually though it's

Elliott Kalan

[14:08] like the rhino dressed up for a heist yeah uh yeah i mean i don't know whether these are mastermind

Dan McCoy

[14:16] what if stories or like outside of canon or whatever but i'm pretty sure i've seen at least a story

[14:22] where some like some hero helps uh save christmas and that involves santa claus is it great if there

Elliott Kalan

[14:28] there's a what if issue that was what if santa claus was real and the watcher just opens up and is

[14:33] like look everybody sometimes i get lazy because because santa claus i'll just say santa claus does

[14:41] have amazing powers he can squeeze through any small opening he can travel at close to light speed he's

[14:46] like the silver surfer that way because he goes around the whole earth living presence in one day

[14:49] and he's an anti-semite which is a powerful power now i don't know where's the right you're right

[14:56] i don't he dislikes all he dislikes all non-christians i shouldn't have just singled out

Stuart Wellington

[15:00] all right uh now if you are wondering yes this movie is absolutely brick walled with constant singing

[15:09] scat goofy music farts etc uh if you are ever bored for a moment you will not be bored in a second

[15:17] later because there will be a new song or a new person talking as an animal um i'm just gonna say

Elliott Kalan

[15:23] with that many animals on set i would expect a lot of scat yeah okay uh yeah uh so

Stuart Wellington

[15:31] so after a perfunctory birthday party we uh the kids go to the fair where bart and bertha are dressed

[15:39] as clowns and they attempt a minor crime of of taking a wallet they just find uh and that crime

[15:46] is foiled by rusty and that causes mild havoc at the fair and bart and bertha lose their job putting

[15:53] them in a kind of desperate position where they don't have enough money to buy lunch so of course they

[15:59] come up with a new scheme where they are approached by a wealthy man and they decide they're going to

[16:05] steal some puppies to sell now while the kids are playing baseball with the elephant bart and bertha

[16:11] then sneak onto the ranch and steal the puppies in order to cut off the old people's source of income

Elliott Kalan

[16:17] oh no wait guys if i want to i want to issue a late correction for something i said earlier

[16:21] i got uh i got the voice i got uh charles fleischer the voice of roger rabbit mixed up with john

[16:29] cassir the voice of the crypt keeper i think i mentioned i think i credit him as the crypt

[16:33] keeper earlier that i just got them mixed up yeah everybody if you if you were writing your angry

Stuart Wellington

[16:38] letters find something else to write it about but i've also made this organizing some like pun based

Elliott Kalan

[16:45] correction and i don't know why for some reason they're associated i mean it's similar the voices

[16:50] are a little similar in some ways but uh and charles fleischer was in an episode of

[16:56] tales from the crypt and i think and one of the movies but not maybe that's where the uh

[17:00] the confusion comes from but so okay so stewart uh long story short they they're

Stuart Wellington

[17:06] everyone's in trouble right yeah so they steal these puppies they of course take the littlest puppy and

[17:11] just leave it in the middle of a field to die it's very strange russie then goes on a quest to save

[17:16] his brothers and sisters all and uh along the way he meets some new animal friends he saves his little

[17:21] sister from an alligator he has a dream journey where he remembers his life from birth up through the

[17:26] events of the movie he drinks some cow's milk he hitches a ride from a cool beheaded skateboarding

[17:31] dog named rebel before eventually just going home to get reinforcements uh any questions up to this

Elliott Kalan

[17:37] place so okay i no i think that was a pretty i mean you painted a real word picture for us yeah

Dan McCoy

[17:42] now i mean the basics of this movie are still uh confusing to me mostly because uh a combination of

[17:50] constant derailing uh by both of us and uh just my general lack of comprehension of things now bart and

[17:58] bertha they're animals no they're human beings are they they're sort of the cruelles de vil of the

[18:07] of the of the film i would describe them as desperate schemers okay and so the perhaps and perhaps

[18:14] desperate dreamers the major conflict is that uh the people who own the puppy farm

[18:22] are having their puppies stolen by these schemers

[18:27] yep because the schemers don't have money is that what's happening uh huh yep and yeah and the old

Stuart Wellington

[18:33] people don't have money either it's a because they're about to lose their their puppy farm so

Dan McCoy

[18:38] rusty was he was he stolen and he's coming back like an incredible journey no rusty is trying to

Stuart Wellington

[18:46] rescue the puppies all on his own initially and then he realizes you know he's he is only a strong

[18:53] a single fist isn't strong enough but many fists raised in anger now that can do it so he gets all the

Elliott Kalan

[18:59] animals together to save the puppies remind me remind me to talk to you guys about uh the director of

[19:05] this movie according to mdb shuki levy or levy who is mostly a composer and composed among other things

[19:11] the theme songs for inspector gadget he-man the 90s x-man animated series lots of things and was a

[19:18] very very big part of the mighty morgan power rangers

Stuart Wellington

[19:22] yeah because this is uh this is saban entertainment oh okay so yeah so he was a big saban entertainment

[19:27] guy yeah um so all the animals go to save the puppies now at this point you're probably saying

[19:31] there's a lot of animal action what are the humans up to and i'm going to tell you not much the kids

[19:36] are occasionally like talking about how they like why do bart and bertha want them to be adopted

[19:43] uh what's uh what it's like to be an orphan etc like why are animals great um so bart and bertha leave

[19:51] their uh their very overly decorated shack to sell one of the puppies uh the animals arrive and the

[19:57] elephant destroys their home uh bart and bertha are on the run from the last pup and all the animals

[20:03] team up using their unique talents whether it's being scary looking or being able to shit on a van and uh

[20:10] and upend it and have it drive fall down a cliff i mean wait wait hold on an ability that any animal

Dan McCoy

[20:15] would have like i don't feel like that's a specialized ability to shit on i mean i think it's a i think

Stuart Wellington

[20:20] it's a targeting ability okay i mean i mean stuart i could shit on a van if that's what you need

[20:27] yeah yeah i think it's time for you to put some money where your mouth didn't happen dan i'm gonna

[20:32] need pictures or video of this yeah so yep so which that's what your tiktok account is all based on

[20:38] right when you realize you couldn't do those synchronized dances you're just taking shit

Elliott Kalan

[20:43] yeah but set to huge to huge hit tunes yeah all right no one wants to hear that but stuart whose

[20:50] whose power is whose which what are the animals which animals have different talents well the uh the

Stuart Wellington

[20:55] the turtles mainly spend the movie trying to travel from one area to the next area but every like the

[21:04] action passes them by and then they have to turn around and make it uh you know slowly yeah okay

Elliott Kalan

[21:09] what about the so what's the elephant's talent is that the shitting one well no the elephant destroys

Stuart Wellington

[21:14] their home and then chases their vw bus uh or vw van uh around the raccoon jumps onto ratchet the

[21:23] raccoon jumps and scares them uh the snake whose name i forget who is constantly talking about wanting to

[21:29] bite humans it's an albino boa constrictor dude it's a beautiful creature and that's not even a

[21:34] biting snake though that's a constrictor no i mean they bite yeah it's not a venomous snake but i mean

Elliott Kalan

[21:38] it bites at some point it has to latch on before wrapping its coils around you i mean maybe love bites

Stuart Wellington

[21:44] maybe like in the throes of passion yep uh so of course at this point uh the animals team up they

[21:52] destroy the barton bertha's last remaining possession their van uh and they save the

[21:58] little puppy barton bertha go to jail the puppy gets sold everybody's happy the end so guys here's the

[22:06] all-important question uh you have to decide are you glad we missed it sad we missed it or what was

[22:14] the third one or uh i got to unmiss it yeah had done had to yeah gotta unmiss it are you sad to miss it

Elliott Kalan

[22:22] glad you missed it or gotta unmiss it so stewart i have a question for you i think that fits more

Dan McCoy

[22:28] into our sort of vibe as a podcast elliot the lack of consistency now stewart are there any

Elliott Kalan

[22:37] sequences or scenes that really stick out to you as being particularly memorable because i feel like

[22:43] any any movie no matter how great could be described in a way where you don't want to see it like for

[22:47] instance a movie like uh what's the greatest movie you can think of um the abyss exactly the abyss yeah

[22:55] and so it's like oh they're underwater and there's like a big water snake and it has a face at the end

[22:59] of it and everyone's like oh we're underwater what's going on like that doesn't make me want to see the

Stuart Wellington

[23:04] abyss but okay so you're saying you're giving me one final chance to kind of sell this movie to you

Elliott Kalan

[23:11] yeah okay i'm in the okay let's play role play we're in the video store it's 1998 you are working

[23:17] at the video store and uh the girl of your dreams because you're a teenager the girl of your dreams

[23:22] is going to give you a big kiss a big smackerooni on the lips uh it's 1998 right so that would be

[23:27] what like kathy ireland or something yeah kathy ireland is going to give you a big smackerooni if you can

[23:33] convince me to rent rusty a dog's tail you can't lie to me you can't tell me things that are not true

Stuart Wellington

[23:38] about it yeah so what pressures on star of necessary roughness might give me a smooch-a-rooni

Elliott Kalan

[23:44] so let's see i mean i don't know if i'd call it the star of the star of bacula is more of the

[23:48] or sinbad like those are kind of the bigger marquee names necessary roughness i don't know i mean that

[23:55] but football with the that football with the horns and the hat and the sunglasses

[23:58] that's not even a character in the movie i mean that's the most disappointing thing about the movie is

[24:04] that that guy never shows up which is too bad because he's got star part written all breakout

[24:09] character written all over him like him and spuds mckenzie that was certainly speaking to the person

Stuart Wellington

[24:14] who was the when he would when i was a kid growing up every time i'd watch the super bowl i was most

[24:19] excited for the animation of the bud bowl you know between that movie and major league it was real

Dan McCoy

[24:25] it was a real renaissance for sort of b-minus level uh ragtag ragtag uh loser sports comedy

Stuart Wellington

[24:35] i feel like major league is at least one step above necessary no i know this definitely i was just no

Dan McCoy

[24:40] no but i was averaging the scores out i thought you were saying it was gonna i thought you were saying

Elliott Kalan

[24:45] it was a golden time for sports ball related mascots that aren't actually in the movie because major

[24:51] league has that baseball with the sunglasses and the mohawk right wait he wasn't in the movie

[24:56] not oh that was charlie sheen he's sort of a charlie sheen avatar that ball but now not the same

[25:03] dan that poster promised me a talking baseball that was super cool and had rad attitude yeah you're

Stuart Wellington

[25:09] hoping that when he was when charlie sheen got up on the mound to pitch that like the ball would appear

[25:14] over his shoulder like his persona or his stand or something yeah exactly and it would like he would

Elliott Kalan

[25:19] be on his shoulder like a like a little helper that's like yeah throw a fastball now chas but uh

[25:24] or like uh why wasn't there a hockey movie where there's like a puck that had like a hawaiian shirt

[25:29] and like a puka shell necklace why wasn't there a basketball i mean that's because uh slap shot had

[25:34] already been made right yeah right and you can't do another hockey movie uh mighty ducks d2 d3 steward

[25:41] you're roasted so or goon or the sequel yeah it's like uh or yeah slap shot too slapping it or what

[25:49] if there was one where there was like a golf ball with like bifocals and dentures or one where there's

[25:53] like a basketball and the basketball has like a pith helmet and also a welder's mask because it doesn't

[25:59] really know what its thing is yet yeah yeah no i like it it's also very hard to tell it's a basketball

[26:04] behind that welder's mask so okay kathy ireland she's like sure yeah back in the video store okay i

[26:11] want to kiss you but i can only do it if you can convince this guy to to rent rusty a dog's tail

Stuart Wellington

[26:16] what part of the movie do you tell me about that really like brings it home my magnetized name tag

[26:22] is slightly askew my family video polo just doesn't fit right uh and my pitch is this

[26:31] there is a scene in the movie where bert is talking to a guy in a white suit and a white like

[26:39] panama jack hat and the the man's explaining how he would like to buy a puppy and charles fleischer

[26:46] looks at him charles fleischer aka bert looks him dead in the eye and he goes puppies

[26:53] like baby dogs and the man says yes like baby dogs that's and that at that point that's when you know

[27:01] it's the right movie for you yeah oh no it's a funny joke i don't mean like i don't know if that alone

Elliott Kalan

[27:07] sells it to me here's a question i think i'm it's 1998 right uh i'm on my hand is reaching towards

[27:13] that copy of lawnmower man uh so but dan what are you disappointed uh my question well i mean my

Dan McCoy

[27:22] expectations are very low yeah yeah so uh my question is how does the cast equit itself because you know

[27:28] it's a galaxy of stars as you said and i say that only semi-ironically because the well none of these are

[27:34] huge names let's say i look down the list and there's no one i uh am unhappy to see like the

[27:41] closest it comes to that is i have no particular feelings about patrick duffy one way or another

[27:48] but uh how does the cast equit itself in this film i mean i want to i and after you answer that

Elliott Kalan

[27:53] steward i have a rebuttal to something that dan just said okay is it patrick duffy related no it is

[28:00] saying that there are no big stars in the cast a cast that includes rue mcclanahan a golden girl

Stuart Wellington

[28:05] but stewart continue so i was gonna say all the human actors do a very good job but i would say

[28:13] some of the animal actors leave a little bit to be desired i'm looking at you rusty the dog

[28:24] however uh i would take a bullet for rebel the dog who wears a hat and rides around on a skateboard

Dan McCoy

[28:30] wait who did the rusty voice is it just a dog lawrence it says lawrence who's that

Elliott Kalan

[28:36] that i don't know is the youngest oh he's the middle brother of uh joey lawrence so joey

[28:42] lawrence is the oldest oh matthew lawrence is the middle is it mrs doubtfire it looks like

[28:48] he was on boy meets world played the part of billy and the hot chick

[28:54] was of course in the show brotherly love because that was the show with all the lawrence brothers

Stuart Wellington

[28:58] all right all right so you guys have asked me a lot of questions let me ask you are you glad we missed

[29:05] it sad we missed it or oh boy had to not miss it i'm watching it now you know uh i'm gonna say i i

Dan McCoy

[29:14] can't go so far as to say that i'm gonna go run out and watch rusty a dog's tail now but i will say that

[29:23] you had a lot more joy and verve recounting this to me than i feel from a lot of flop house movies that

[29:30] we watch so i'm gonna say that i'm i'm sorry i'm sad we missed it i guess that's correct we got a

Elliott Kalan

[29:37] sad we miss it elliot i'm gonna say to be honest i'm glad we missed it but i because it's not like i regret not

[29:47] watching it and i don't how to watch it i'm not gonna go watch it i don't have to unmiss it i don't

Stuart Wellington

[29:52] know you have you have kids and they probably like looking at animals do stuff they do like animals i

Elliott Kalan

[29:58] mean we did recently watch babe with my two children and the younger one especially just

[30:02] liked pointing out which animals were on screen as they appeared on screen just going horse pig

Stuart Wellington

[30:08] sheep horse that child would have a field day with rusty colon a dog's tail i can also get the same

Elliott Kalan

[30:16] effect from just looking at a book of animal pictures with him is the thing so do those pictures

[30:21] sing elliot no that's a good point uh i think stewart i i think i'm so glad that you told us about

[30:29] this movie i appreciate you're watching it i think i enjoyed hearing about it more than watching it

[30:33] so i'm gonna have to tell you i'm sorry but you will not be receiving the kiss from kathy ireland
