Stuart Wellington
[0:00]
On tonight's episode, we watched Look Who's Talking Now.
[0:04]
That's right, listeners.
[0:06]
The Flophouse goes straight to the dogs.
[0:10]
Because there's dogs in the movie.
[0:12]
Because it's a movie with dogs.
[0:13]
Yeah.
[0:15]
All right.
[0:16]
I did it.
[0:30]
Hey, everyone, and welcome to The Flophouse.
Dan McCoy
[0:44]
I'm Dan McCoy.
[0:45]
And you know I'm Stuart Wellington.
[0:48]
And you probably had a premonition that Elliot Kalin would be here.
Stuart Wellington
[0:51]
Well, you were right.
[0:52]
That's right.
[0:53]
We're The Flophouse Podcast.
[0:55]
Starring.
Elliott Kalan
[0:56]
They're.
[0:57]
Us.
[0:57]
Us.
[0:58]
In The Flophouse.
[1:00]
The original.
[1:00]
Flop.
[1:01]
Bad Boys of Flopcasting.
[1:03]
I think the only Bad Boys of Flopcasting, which also makes us the only good boys of Flopcasting.
Stuart Wellington
[1:07]
Yeah.
[1:08]
Where's your yardstick for good versus bad boys?
Elliott Kalan
[1:12]
Well, Bad Boys are coming for you.
[1:14]
Or were they coming for the Bad Boys in that song?
Stuart Wellington
[1:17]
Well, they were coming after the Bad Boys, yeah.
[1:19]
Oh, okay.
[1:20]
Never mind then.
Dan McCoy
[1:20]
Never mind.
[1:21]
So this is a podcast where we watch a bad movie, and then we talk about it.
[1:25]
And tonight.
[1:26]
We did not watch a bad movie.
[1:27]
Well, tonight.
Stuart Wellington
[1:29]
No, no, we did not.
Dan McCoy
[1:30]
Tonight we're taking part in a little thing called a pod crawl.
[1:34]
Now, we've done this a couple times before, where we get together with a couple of other
[1:40]
podcasts, and we watch a series of connected movies.
Elliott Kalan
[1:44]
It's like a crossover where no one meets each other.
[1:47]
Mm-hmm.
Dan McCoy
[1:48]
And so we are running the Look Who's Talking series with Read It and Weep and Too Beautiful
[1:56]
to Live with Luke Burbank.
[1:59]
And so the Reader Weep guys, I believe.
Stuart Wellington
[2:03]
Read It and Weep a show that I think, have we all done a guest spot on at some point?
[2:06]
Yeah.
[2:07]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[2:07]
So, yeah.
[2:08]
And we've done the previous two pod crawls with?
[2:11]
Yeah.
[2:11]
The Star Wars one and the, what was the other one?
[2:14]
Yeah.
[2:15]
Any Which Way But Loose.
[2:16]
Nope.
[2:17]
That was with We Hate Movies.
[2:18]
Oh, okay.
[2:20]
Dan's Memory.
[2:21]
Zero.
[2:23]
Anyway, point is, we've done-
[2:25]
They watched Look Who's Talking.
[2:26]
They watched Look Who's Talking.
Elliott Kalan
[2:27]
The classic film about, hey, what if babies could talk and they sounded like Bruce Willis?
[2:32]
Yep.
[2:33]
Too Beautiful.
[2:33]
1989's Look Who's Talking.
Stuart Wellington
[2:36]
Yeah, yeah.
[2:37]
And that baby-
[2:37]
It felt so hot, the next year, Look Who's Talking 2 came out.
[2:43]
And then there was a little bit of a lag before our film, Look Who's Talking Now.
[2:48]
I'm assuming it went through multiple rewrites so they could get the perfect script.
Dan McCoy
[2:52]
I was going to say, Too Beautiful to Live did the second film in the series.
[2:55]
That's the one with the talking toilet.
[2:58]
Another talking baby.
[3:00]
Fill me up.
[3:00]
What's the heightening to one talking baby?
[3:03]
Two talking babies.
Elliott Kalan
[3:04]
They had to learn the lesson that Walt Disney learned with Three Little Pigs, where he said,
[3:09]
you can't beat pigs with pigs.
[3:11]
He couldn't just keep making Three Little Pigs cartoons.
[3:14]
He had to do other stuff that wasn't pigs.
[3:16]
He couldn't make cartoons where a pig beats another pig.
[3:19]
No, it's impossible, because pigs always form an alliance.
[3:22]
Against Humans.
[3:23]
Animal Farm by George Orwell.
[3:24]
I talked about it on your brother's podcast.
Stuart Wellington
[3:26]
Yeah, and there's no, they have no arguments in that book, right?
[3:30]
None of the pigs have anything bad.
Dan McCoy
[3:32]
Perfectly well.
Elliott Kalan
[3:34]
Yeah?
[3:35]
Nothing.
[3:36]
So, Look Who's Talking is about a talking baby.
[3:39]
But he's not really talking.
[3:40]
It's just what he's thinking.
[3:41]
Look Who's Talking 2, you got two talking babies.
[3:44]
Look Who's Talking 2, you got two talking babies.
Stuart Wellington
[3:45]
The kids have grown up.
[3:46]
But we have a gender balance.
Elliott Kalan
[3:48]
Yes.
[3:49]
Yeah, finally we've achieved gender Look Who's Talking parody.
[3:51]
After so many years of progress.
[3:53]
There was once a time when girl babies couldn't even vote.
[3:56]
And you know what?
[3:57]
They still can't.
[3:58]
They're babies.
[3:58]
Yeah.
[3:59]
They can't understand it.
[4:00]
Today, we're actually recording on the night of the New York primary.
[4:03]
And my wife took our son Sammy with her to go voting.
[4:06]
And he could not tell me which candidate they voted for.
[4:09]
What?
[4:09]
This two-year-old kid had no understanding of what was going on in Democratic politics.
[4:13]
Maybe he was just trying to keep his vote private.
[4:16]
Maybe.
[4:16]
That's true.
[4:16]
I asked him, so who'd you vote for?
[4:18]
And he goes, voted.
[4:20]
I was like, all right.
[4:21]
Close enough, I guess.
[4:23]
He was more excited about this.
[4:24]
Wait on.
Dan McCoy
[4:24]
The civic duty is the main thing.
Elliott Kalan
[4:27]
Oh, civic's not the only duty he's making.
[4:29]
Oh, dad humor.
[4:31]
Anyway, so look who's talking now.
[4:34]
The kids are grown up.
[4:35]
They're already talking.
[4:36]
To see a five-year-old talking is not impressive enough to go to the
[4:39]
movies for and pay.
[4:40]
At the time, $6 for a ticket.
[4:43]
Plus you got popcorn, plus Twizzlers probably.
[4:46]
Then you see the thing about the candy floating through space in the beginning.
[4:50]
And you're like, oh, gummy bears.
[4:51]
Of course you run out and get those.
[4:53]
Then you got to sit.
[4:54]
They didn't even have screen entertainment.
[4:55]
So it's not like you could buy time with that.
[4:57]
You had to hurry.
[4:58]
And when you get back.
Stuart Wellington
[4:59]
Is this back when there would be guys walking around with little boxes
[5:01]
hanging from their shoulders?
[5:02]
Yeah, there's the 40s.
[5:04]
The Will Rogers.
Elliott Kalan
[5:05]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[5:05]
Popcorn.
[5:06]
I thought you were talking about the Will Rogers Foundation.
Dan McCoy
[5:09]
You got to put in a couple bucks for that, too.
[5:11]
Oh, yeah.
[5:11]
Whatever happened to that?
[5:12]
That used to be at like every movie theater.
[5:15]
They realized that Will Rogers was dead and couldn't hurt them anymore.
[5:18]
They couldn't bring them.
Elliott Kalan
[5:19]
Is it just a projection racket?
[5:21]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[5:22]
He was totally by the edge.
Elliott Kalan
[5:24]
It seems he died in a plane crash 70 years ago.
[5:27]
Why are we still doing this?
[5:29]
So look who's talking now.
[5:31]
What's going to be talking now?
[5:33]
Who knows?
[5:33]
There are obviously a lot of options.
[5:34]
Cars.
[5:35]
You mentioned the toilet.
[5:36]
Plants.
[5:36]
Now, there is a talking toilet in one scene in Look Who's Talking, too.
[5:39]
It's a fantasy sequence.
[5:41]
And if you want fantasy sequences, Look Who's Talking Now is chock full of filler in the form of fantasy sequences.
[5:46]
Oh, boy.
[5:47]
So what's going to talk?
[5:48]
Is it going to be the sky?
[5:50]
Is it going to be fire telling people, Light me.
[5:53]
Burn your house.
[5:54]
Is it going to be like a television set?
[5:56]
Now, again, if I was talking, it would not be that impressive.
Dan McCoy
[5:59]
Okay.
[5:59]
Is it going to be like a talking doll?
[6:03]
Like an animal?
Elliott Kalan
[6:05]
I mean, you know one of those Chuckies or talking Tinas?
[6:07]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[6:08]
Here's what it is.
[6:09]
Everyone's clothing talks.
[6:11]
Oh.
[6:12]
That's what's going on.
[6:14]
And they're all saying, I'm touching your boobs.
Elliott Kalan
[6:18]
Yeah, all the clothes are perverts.
[6:20]
I'm touching your butt right now.
[6:21]
Oh, boy.
[6:23]
I'm all over your penis.
[6:24]
I'm brightly colored.
[6:26]
Well, there are a lot of brightly colored shows.
Dan McCoy
[6:28]
Yeah.
[6:28]
Brightly colored clothes.
[6:29]
It's a real...
[6:31]
Dick Tracy?
[6:33]
Dick Tracy of a movie.
Elliott Kalan
[6:35]
Now, Dan, what really is the extra talking element?
Dan McCoy
[6:37]
The extra talking element is dogs.
[6:39]
Dogs.
[6:40]
Dogs.
[6:40]
The series has gone to the dogs.
Elliott Kalan
[6:42]
As I think Stuart said already.
[6:44]
Oh, did he?
Stuart Wellington
[6:45]
Yeah, like 10 minutes ago.
[6:47]
I forgot.
[6:47]
Already this episode is starting.
[6:49]
Rough.
Elliott Kalan
[6:52]
Put this one in the pound and put it down.
[6:56]
Mm-hmm.
[6:57]
Or as they say when they're about to kill Danny DeVito's character rocks, to be destroyed.
[7:01]
Mm-hmm.
[7:01]
Which I think is supposed to be a less visceral word than kill, but it sounds way worse.
[7:07]
Yeah.
[7:07]
If you say you're going to kill a dog, it's like, oh, well, at least its body will still exist,
[7:11]
right?
[7:11]
You destroy it.
[7:11]
Destroy it.
Stuart Wellington
[7:12]
My soul has been banished to the other world.
Elliott Kalan
[7:14]
On an atomic level, it's just been torn apart into particles.
Stuart Wellington
[7:17]
Yeah.
[7:17]
It's like when I get a sandwich and I'm like, I'm going to destroy this sandwich.
[7:22]
Mm-hmm.
[7:22]
Like the guy that's selling me the sandwich is like, holy shit, dude.
[7:25]
Give me that sandwich back.
[7:27]
Here's your money.
[7:28]
Get out of my restaurant.
[7:29]
I couldn't let you do that.
Dan McCoy
[7:31]
You said that weirdly sexually, too.
[7:33]
Well, that's fine.
[7:33]
I'm going to destroy this sandwich.
[7:35]
That's how I talk to you service workers.
[7:37]
Oh, boy.
[7:38]
I'm just going to wreck this sandwich.
Stuart Wellington
[7:40]
Unleaded, please.
[7:42]
Fill her up.
[7:43]
Mm-hmm.
[7:44]
You guys are making it grosser than mine was.
[7:47]
Maybe.
[7:47]
So we open in a single shot.
[7:50]
So the year is 1993.
[7:52]
One shot.
[7:52]
A single take, long shot.
Elliott Kalan
[7:55]
It is irreversible.
[7:56]
Now, the year's 1993 when this came out.
[7:59]
This was the big movie of the year, right?
[8:02]
Mm-hmm.
[8:02]
Of course it wasn't.
[8:03]
Jurassic Park came out in 1993.
[8:05]
The biggest movie maybe ever made.
[8:07]
And the dinosaurs.
[8:08]
I think scientifically that's untrue.
Dan McCoy
[8:10]
I think that we.
[8:11]
I mean.
Elliott Kalan
[8:11]
Name a bigger movie.
Dan McCoy
[8:13]
Gone with the Wind.
Elliott Kalan
[8:15]
Dinosaurs are like 60 feet tall.
[8:17]
No one in that movie is over six feet tall.
Dan McCoy
[8:20]
Dinosaurs could eat Scarlett O'Hara very easily.
[8:22]
Incredibly easily.
Elliott Kalan
[8:23]
Think about the Civil War with dinosaurs.
[8:25]
It's called Abraham Lincoln Dinosaur Hunter.
Dan McCoy
[8:27]
I'm thinking about it and I'm loving it.
[8:29]
Here's $700,000.
[8:31]
Perfect.
Stuart Wellington
[8:31]
Thank you.
[8:32]
I'm going to make a movie.
[8:32]
So wait a second.
[8:33]
Are the.
[8:33]
In this case.
[8:34]
Are the dinosaurs plantation hooners?
[8:36]
Uh.
[8:36]
Yes.
[8:37]
Okay.
[8:37]
Well.
[8:38]
Another reason I hate dinosaurs I guess.
Elliott Kalan
[8:40]
No.
[8:41]
But I like dinosaurs.
[8:42]
Oh shoot.
[8:43]
Anyway.
[8:43]
So we open as Stuart said with a single long take shot of our heroes.
[8:48]
John Travolta and Christy Alley.
[8:49]
We've known them through the entire Look Who's Talking saga.
[8:52]
They met.
[8:53]
They fell in love.
[8:54]
Oh.
[8:54]
Sorry.
[8:54]
Christy Alley had a baby at a wedlock.
[8:56]
John Travolta married her.
Stuart Wellington
[8:57]
They had another baby in wedlock.
[8:59]
They are according to IMDB.
[9:00]
The tagline for this movie is.
[9:03]
The world's favorite family is back.
[9:06]
That is incredibly unearned promotional hype.
Elliott Kalan
[9:10]
Hyperbolic.
[9:11]
I mean.
[9:12]
As if.
[9:13]
The world's favorite family.
Dan McCoy
[9:15]
Name one more favorite family.
Elliott Kalan
[9:17]
Now let's just.
[9:18]
Now considering the movie is set at Christmas.
[9:20]
Jesus and his parents.
[9:22]
Hugely popular.
[9:23]
Throughout the world.
[9:24]
And I'm talking about both his dad.
Stuart Wellington
[9:26]
I was going to say the family from Married with Children.
Elliott Kalan
[9:29]
The Bundys.
[9:30]
The Bundys.
[9:30]
They were huge at this point.
[9:32]
The Simpsons.
[9:32]
Even bigger.
[9:34]
Let's not forget the Winslows and the Huxtables.
[9:37]
The Cosbys.
[9:38]
Well the Cosbys and the Huxtables are the same people.
[9:40]
Oh yeah.
[9:41]
I'm bad at TV.
[9:44]
And the Dick Van Dyches.
[9:47]
And the Bunkers.
[9:48]
And the family from the show Dinosaurs.
[9:50]
I don't remember if that was on the show yet.
[9:51]
All of the families on Family Feud.
[9:53]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[9:53]
All of them.
[9:54]
So all the people who under their breath.
[9:57]
While they're listening to this show.
[9:58]
On public transportation.
[10:00]
Who said the name of that family.
[10:02]
On Dinosaurs.
[10:03]
Please tweet it when you get off the bus.
[10:04]
Yeah please do.
[10:04]
I think it's the Sinclairs.
[10:06]
That makes sense.
Dan McCoy
[10:07]
But that doesn't sound like a pun enough.
[10:09]
Tweet it at Flophouse Cat.
[10:10]
Well no.
[10:10]
All the cat.
[10:11]
Tweet all of it at Flophouse Cat.
Stuart Wellington
[10:13]
All Dinosaurs related to correspondence.
[10:15]
Goes directly to my personal.
[10:17]
Hashtag.
[10:18]
Not the mama.
Dan McCoy
[10:19]
Oh no.
Elliott Kalan
[10:22]
Look you gotta love him.
[10:23]
He told you so.
[10:24]
Yep.
[10:26]
All the characters were named after oil companies.
Stuart Wellington
[10:29]
Oh wait.
[10:30]
The dinosaurs were?
[10:31]
Yeah yeah.
[10:31]
It was a joke.
[10:31]
I don't.
[10:32]
What's the joke?
[10:33]
Is it that their latex masks are made out of oil?
[10:35]
I think it's that when their bones would become oil eventually.
Dan McCoy
[10:39]
Yeah.
[10:39]
It was sort of a morbid joke.
[10:41]
Maybe.
[10:41]
These characters that you love.
[10:43]
Will eventually die and become fossilized.
Elliott Kalan
[10:45]
And then you'll burn them up in your car.
[10:46]
Considering the final episode of the series was.
[10:49]
The ice age coming.
[10:50]
And everybody is about to die.
[10:52]
Yeah.
[10:52]
Yeah.
[10:52]
It's pretty close.
[10:53]
Anyway.
[10:53]
So Kirstie Alley and John DeVolta.
[10:56]
America's favorite family.
[10:57]
Mm-hmm.
[10:58]
They.
[10:59]
World's favorite family.
[11:00]
Now you.
[11:00]
World's.
[11:01]
I forgot.
[11:01]
The world's favorite family.
[11:03]
Because in.
[11:04]
Because in.
[11:05]
In Namibia.
[11:06]
They're like.
[11:07]
What's going on with the look who's talking family?
[11:09]
In Japan.
[11:10]
They're like.
[11:11]
Oh.
[11:11]
What's happening now to the family whose last name I don't remember.
[11:14]
Even though they're my favorite.
[11:15]
Yeah.
[11:16]
Very complicated.
Dan McCoy
[11:16]
They get the poster.
[11:17]
It says look who's talking now.
[11:18]
And they're like.
[11:19]
Who?
[11:19]
Who?
Elliott Kalan
[11:20]
Who?
[11:20]
For God's sake.
[11:22]
Who?
[11:22]
Tell us who's been added to the family.
[11:25]
They did the same experience I had when I saw the poster for Gremlins 2.
[11:28]
And my mind exploded.
[11:29]
They made another one.
[11:31]
Just for me.
Dan McCoy
[11:32]
Oh man.
[11:32]
I remember seeing like the HBO first look for that thing.
[11:35]
And I was like.
[11:36]
A spider Gremlin.
[11:39]
Do I live in the best time that has ever existed?
[11:42]
Medically.
[11:43]
Yes.
Stuart Wellington
[11:43]
I.
[11:44]
I remember in that movie.
[11:45]
When Gremlins 2 was still in theaters.
[11:47]
I had all the collectible cards.
[11:50]
And I would just go on road trips.
[11:51]
When my parents would take me on road trips.
[11:53]
I'd read the backs.
[11:55]
Yeah.
[11:55]
Like you were watching the movie.
Dan McCoy
[11:56]
What was the.
[11:57]
What was the lobby card I gave you?
[11:59]
Was that.
[11:59]
The.
[12:00]
Was that PBK.
[12:01]
It's being terrorized.
[12:02]
Yes in the elevator.
[12:03]
When the Gremlins arms.
Elliott Kalan
[12:04]
It goes.
[12:04]
Fourth floor.
[12:05]
Woman's lingerie.
[12:07]
Because it's just a Looney Tunes cartoon at that point.
[12:09]
And when the elevator crashes.
[12:11]
There's literally like a boink.
[12:12]
Sound effect.
[12:13]
As they squish.
[12:15]
What a good movie.
[12:16]
We should have watched that.
[12:17]
There's tons of talking shit in that movie.
[12:19]
Yeah.
[12:19]
Anyway.
[12:20]
So.
[12:21]
These two.
[12:22]
Are dealing with.
Dan McCoy
[12:23]
Tons of talking shit.
[12:24]
You're like.
[12:25]
A normal movie.
[12:25]
Everyone just talks.
[12:27]
They don't make a big deal out of it.
Elliott Kalan
[12:29]
Look.
[12:29]
So once again.
[12:30]
Every movie since 1929 roughly has had talking in it.
[12:34]
For the most.
[12:35]
I mean.
[12:35]
There's some movies that haven't.
[12:36]
But most of them have.
[12:37]
Even Charlie Chaplin eventually was like.
[12:39]
I gotta get on this talking boat.
[12:41]
So in 1993 to release a movie where things are talking.
[12:44]
Not so impressive.
[12:45]
Yeah.
[12:45]
Kirstie Alley.
[12:46]
John Travolta.
[12:47]
They're dealing with the stress.
[12:48]
One.
[12:48]
Of being huge Scientologists.
[12:50]
Of their two children.
[12:50]
And two.
[12:51]
Of having these very stressful children.
Stuart Wellington
[12:53]
And then.
[12:54]
Right.
[12:54]
Or.
[12:55]
Right away.
[12:55]
The movie.
[12:56]
Loses its audience.
[12:57]
Because you expect the children to have the voices of Bruce Willis and Roseanne Barr respectively.
Elliott Kalan
[13:01]
Yes.
[13:01]
Why didn't they dove them into these child children's faces?
[13:04]
They would have been perfect.
[13:05]
And it would have made sense thematically.
[13:09]
You'd know that this boy is going to grow up to be Bruno.
[13:11]
And this girl is going to grow up to be She-Devil.
[13:14]
Yeah.
[13:15]
Yeah.
[13:15]
That's her character.
[13:16]
Yeah.
[13:16]
And so.
[13:17]
They're having.
[13:18]
It's a really stressful life having two young kids.
[13:20]
They don't want to go to bed.
[13:21]
Ah.
[13:21]
They don't want to take a bath.
[13:22]
Ah.
[13:23]
Blah.
[13:23]
Blah.
[13:23]
Blah.
[13:23]
Blah.
[13:23]
Blah.
Stuart Wellington
[13:23]
You're Benny Hilling around the apartment all the time.
Elliott Kalan
[13:25]
Oh boy.
[13:26]
Yakety Sax is always playing in their minds.
[13:28]
And occasionally.
[13:29]
On their stereo.
[13:30]
Because they love novelty songs.
[13:32]
Yeah.
[13:32]
They're like.
[13:32]
Take.
[13:33]
Put that Dr. Demento mix on.
[13:34]
This is going to be great.
[13:36]
Yeah.
[13:36]
They're like.
[13:37]
Fish heads.
[13:37]
Fish heads.
[13:38]
Roly poly.
[13:40]
Fish heads.
[13:40]
You know what honey?
[13:40]
Let me cue up the music video.
[13:42]
You know Bill Paxton directed this?
[13:44]
Yes I know honey.
[13:45]
Thank you.
[13:46]
Anyway.
[13:47]
So.
[13:47]
They love novelty songs.
[13:48]
We've established that.
[13:50]
That's their defining trait.
[13:52]
Now.
[13:52]
John Travolta.
[13:53]
As you know.
[13:54]
Is a pilot who's at a work.
[13:55]
And became a cab driver.
[13:56]
And he's like.
[13:56]
Kind of a goofy nerd do well.
[13:58]
And Christy Alley does.
[14:00]
He always wears shirts that are.
[14:01]
About five sizes.
[14:02]
Too big for him.
[14:03]
Because it's the 90s.
[14:04]
This is something I forget all the time.
[14:06]
Until I watched 90s movies.
[14:07]
Everyone's clothes were enormous.
[14:09]
Like everyone looked like.
[14:10]
A fucking Howard Chaykin drawing.
[14:12]
With huge shoulder pads.
[14:13]
And like.
[14:14]
Jodhpur pants.
[14:15]
There's a scene where.
[14:16]
The.
[14:16]
Where the son is.
[14:17]
Who's like.
[14:18]
What six.
[14:19]
Is walking down the stairs.
[14:21]
And he's wearing pants.
[14:22]
That look like they belong on a grown man.
[14:24]
Like they're so wide.
[14:25]
It's like.
[14:26]
What are you doing to these kids?
[14:27]
But that's.
[14:28]
You guys.
[14:28]
I assume.
[14:29]
Had clothes like that back then.
[14:30]
I certainly did.
[14:31]
Where my mom was buying me shirts.
[14:32]
That like.
[14:33]
Had so much excess fabric in them.
Dan McCoy
[14:35]
What I remember about the 90s.
[14:37]
Is that I wanted.
[14:38]
A Simpsons.
[14:40]
Emblazoned outfit.
[14:41]
Because that was the hippest thing.
[14:43]
For a while.
[14:43]
Oh yeah.
[14:43]
Was to have any Simpsons thing.
[14:46]
And so.
[14:46]
I somehow.
[14:48]
I settled upon.
[14:49]
The nerdiest Simpsons option.
[14:51]
That was possible.
[14:52]
Milhouse.
[14:52]
Which was.
[14:53]
Bart.
[14:54]
Giving the peace sign.
[14:55]
In front of a big peace symbol.
[14:57]
Saying.
[14:58]
Peace man.
[15:00]
And I thought I was the coolest.
[15:02]
Were you the coolest?
[15:03]
I was not.
[15:04]
So.
[15:05]
Where did you get that shirt from?
[15:06]
I think it was a Jay-Z Penny.
[15:09]
Sweatshirt.
[15:09]
A Jay-Z Penny?
[15:10]
Yeah.
[15:10]
A Jay-Z Penny.
[15:11]
Wow.
Elliott Kalan
[15:11]
I didn't know you started with retail.
[15:12]
Before you went into wrapping.
Dan McCoy
[15:14]
I had 99 problems.
[15:15]
And all of them were that shirt.
Elliott Kalan
[15:17]
See because my dad used to get a Simpsons stuff.
[15:20]
But he.
[15:20]
My dad used to work in Manhattan at the time.
[15:22]
He'd go in during the day.
[15:23]
So they were bootleg Simpsons.
[15:24]
And he'd just pick up tons of bootleg shirts off the street.
[15:27]
Do you still have them?
[15:28]
Probably somewhere.
[15:29]
My mom doesn't throw anything out.
[15:31]
And you.
[15:31]
They still fit?
[15:33]
Probably.
[15:34]
But my sister and my brother and I would always be wearing Simpsons or Ninja Turtles shirts.
[15:38]
Where the colors were all wrong.
[15:39]
Where Bart has like a yellow shirt and green shorts.
[15:43]
Or like.
[15:44]
This guy's got a red bandana.
[15:45]
But he's holding nunchucks.
[15:47]
That doesn't make sense.
[15:48]
Michelangelo holds the nunchucks.
[15:50]
And I remember very much the day when my dad came home with no bootleg shirts.
[15:53]
And he was like.
[15:54]
All I could find was Homie the Clown merchandise.
[15:56]
So I'm not buying that for you.
Stuart Wellington
[15:58]
But.
[15:59]
It was.
[16:00]
It was too urban for you.
[16:01]
It was too.
[16:01]
I mean.
Elliott Kalan
[16:02]
In retrospect.
[16:03]
Homie the Clown was an inappropriate character for a 10 year old to have emblazoned on.
Stuart Wellington
[16:07]
Yeah.
[16:07]
Because he's not eating shorts and then being an underachiever.
[16:10]
But.
[16:10]
And sewer surfing.
Dan McCoy
[16:11]
Appropriate for this movie.
[16:12]
Because it looked like it was.
[16:14]
The costume designer was the same person who did.
[16:16]
Everything for In Living Color.
Elliott Kalan
[16:18]
It was.
[16:18]
There were a lot of bold bright colors.
[16:20]
Yeah.
[16:20]
Big.
[16:21]
Big styles.
Dan McCoy
[16:22]
And at one point.
[16:23]
Jackets with contrast sleeves on them.
[16:26]
At one point.
Elliott Kalan
[16:26]
John Dremont.
Stuart Wellington
[16:27]
The Haberdasher in charge of this movie.
[16:29]
Oh.
[16:29]
There were so many hats.
[16:30]
There were so many hats.
Elliott Kalan
[16:30]
There were so many hats.
[16:31]
They should have called this Look Who's Hatting Now.
[16:34]
Or just Look Who's Talking Hats.
[16:36]
And the hats should have talked.
Stuart Wellington
[16:37]
Like in Lidsville.
[16:38]
But they're not big.
[16:39]
They're just normal little hats.
[16:39]
How did they not put fucking hats on the dogs?
[16:42]
They were.
[16:43]
They must have been littering the floor with hats.
Dan McCoy
[16:46]
Now what kind of hats do you think they would have?
[16:48]
Like a.
[16:48]
One of them have like a 10 gallon hat?
[16:50]
Or.
[16:51]
I mean.
[16:51]
Yeah.
[16:51]
Because it's a cowboy dog.
[16:52]
Or a bird.
[16:53]
I mean.
[16:53]
Dan you're having a conversation now.
[16:55]
Obviously the poodle will have a beret.
[16:57]
Of course.
[16:57]
The traditional poodle hat.
Stuart Wellington
[16:58]
But like.
[16:59]
Rocks would have one of those like.
[17:00]
Like a beat up old hat with the front flipped up.
Elliott Kalan
[17:02]
Yeah.
[17:02]
Maybe it has a press card in it.
[17:04]
Like a corner torn off.
[17:06]
All right.
[17:07]
And.
[17:08]
Or maybe like he's got like a Newsy's cap.
[17:11]
A Newsy's cap.
[17:11]
Sure.
[17:12]
Like a little bit of it's ripped.
[17:13]
And she's wearing a tiara.
[17:15]
Okay.
[17:16]
Oh.
[17:16]
That's technically a hat.
Dan McCoy
[17:18]
What if he has a hobo hat?
[17:19]
One of the.
[17:19]
Which is.
[17:20]
With the top.
[17:20]
Just a top hat.
[17:21]
Top flapping off.
Elliott Kalan
[17:22]
Yeah.
[17:23]
He could definitely do that.
[17:24]
Little dog.
[17:24]
Like a suit can.
[17:25]
Bindle over his shoulder.
[17:26]
He's wearing dog shoes with the toes open.
[17:29]
And.
[17:30]
She's wearing.
[17:31]
Like.
[17:32]
Hmm.
[17:32]
Like one of those old fashioned.
[17:34]
19th century hats.
[17:35]
With a real dead stuffed bird on it.
[17:37]
Yeah.
[17:38]
And glass cherries.
[17:39]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[17:40]
That would be great.
[17:41]
I would like to see a dog's neck.
[17:42]
Try and support all that weight.
Elliott Kalan
[17:44]
It would be very difficult.
[17:45]
So.
[17:46]
Anyway.
[17:47]
The.
[17:47]
Oh yeah.
[17:47]
And there's.
[17:48]
I want to.
[17:49]
So we don't forget.
[17:49]
I want us to point out.
[17:50]
Of the clothes.
[17:51]
John Travolta.
[17:52]
One point.
[17:52]
Yeah.
[17:52]
Paint us a tapestry.
[17:53]
He dresses up for a fancy dinner.
[17:55]
In a blue.
[17:57]
Sport jacket.
[17:58]
Or blazer.
[17:59]
Suit jacket.
[17:59]
That is.
[18:00]
The bluest blue.
[18:02]
And it is so bright.
[18:03]
It's like he took a blue screen.
[18:05]
From industrial light and magic.
[18:06]
And just.
[18:06]
Cut it into a shirt shape.
[18:08]
Yep.
[18:08]
And just stuffed his sleeves.
Stuart Wellington
[18:09]
His arms through it.
[18:10]
It's like you.
[18:11]
You were.
[18:12]
You're staring deep into the baby blues.
[18:14]
Of Paul Atreides.
[18:15]
You know.
Elliott Kalan
[18:16]
With this.
[18:17]
Far too much spice.
[18:18]
From the atmosphere.
[18:18]
In his bloodstream.
[18:20]
There's.
[18:20]
When he waves his hands.
[18:21]
In front of it.
[18:22]
It looks like.
[18:23]
He is a weatherman.
Stuart Wellington
[18:27]
Yeah.
[18:28]
He's like.
[18:28]
Yeah.
[18:29]
You'll just add a suit.
[18:30]
In post.
Elliott Kalan
[18:32]
You know how.
[18:33]
When the rancor.
[18:33]
Is fighting Luke.
[18:34]
There's like.
[18:35]
A green.
[18:36]
A process shot.
[18:37]
Line around it.
[18:38]
It's like.
[18:39]
John Travolta's hands.
[18:40]
Had that.
[18:40]
When they were in front of his jacket.
[18:41]
It was really weird.
[18:43]
Yeah.
[18:43]
It's a color that does not exist in nature.
[18:45]
In any form.
[18:46]
And somehow they.
[18:47]
Tore it from.
[18:49]
Some.
[18:49]
Like the.
[18:49]
The.
[18:50]
Hadron collider.
[18:51]
When two atoms exploded.
[18:53]
And turned it into a jacket.
[18:54]
That he wore.
[18:55]
It was crazy.
Stuart Wellington
[18:57]
Yeah.
[18:57]
It was.
[18:57]
And luckily.
[18:58]
And luckily.
[19:00]
It was so blue.
[19:02]
And he's with.
[19:03]
And Kirstie Alley.
[19:04]
And Olympia Dukakis.
[19:05]
His two dates.
[19:06]
Are also dressed.
[19:06]
Yeah.
[19:07]
Kirstie Alley.
Dan McCoy
[19:08]
Is what.
[19:08]
She's in a.
[19:09]
A bright red thing.
[19:11]
Yeah.
[19:11]
It was a red.
[19:12]
Has a purple.
[19:14]
Number on.
[19:15]
That matches her purple earrings.
[19:16]
Yeah.
[19:16]
So.
Elliott Kalan
[19:17]
They are stressed out from their two kids.
[19:19]
He's looking for work.
[19:21]
He's having trouble finding it.
[19:22]
Doesn't help that he has a light up tie.
[19:23]
That he wears as a joke.
[19:24]
He's kind of a goofy dad.
[19:25]
And she's kind of a stressed out mom.
[19:28]
And they are always trying to do it.
[19:30]
And always getting interrupted.
[19:31]
Yeah.
[19:31]
And.
[19:32]
So.
[19:32]
She.
[19:33]
Finds out.
[19:33]
She's been fired from her job.
[19:35]
At the same time.
[19:36]
He goes on an interview.
[19:37]
At what appears to be.
[19:38]
The headquarters of the Tyrell Corporation.
[19:40]
Yeah.
[19:40]
From Blade Runner.
[19:41]
With a woman who is.
[19:42]
A kind of.
[19:43]
Icy blonde CEO.
[19:45]
Yeah.
[19:45]
Who doesn't wear a shirt.
[19:46]
Just a bra with a blazer over it.
Dan McCoy
[19:48]
She's got a collection of blazers.
[19:50]
That.
[19:50]
Yeah.
[19:50]
The boobs are.
[19:52]
Front and center.
Elliott Kalan
[19:53]
It's like.
[19:53]
It's like the guys.
[19:54]
Hold on a second Dan.
[19:55]
Where else should the boobs be?
[19:57]
Like.
[19:58]
Back and diagonal.
[20:01]
Underneath.
[20:01]
And in circles.
Stuart Wellington
[20:03]
It's like.
[20:04]
What would happen if the.
[20:05]
The.
Dan McCoy
[20:06]
You know.
[20:06]
You know.
[20:07]
Sometimes they drift off to the side.
[20:08]
I guess.
[20:09]
Yeah.
[20:09]
Yeah.
[20:09]
And then you got to.
[20:10]
Push them slightly.
[20:11]
When you're going out with a Gumby.
[20:12]
That's what.
[20:13]
That's the main problem that women face.
[20:14]
Right.
[20:15]
They got to re-center the boobs.
Elliott Kalan
[20:16]
Every now and then.
[20:17]
That's what they go to.
[20:18]
So you got to calibrate.
[20:19]
Getting it recalibrated.
[20:21]
And re-geared.
[20:22]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[20:23]
I got to.
[20:24]
I got to re-rack these things.
Elliott Kalan
[20:25]
The suspension on these.
[20:27]
Is shot.
[20:28]
I got to go into.
[20:28]
Jiffy boob.
[20:30]
And get it worked on.
[20:33]
Oh no.
[20:36]
I don't know if their listeners.
[20:37]
Are going to hear literally the air escaping.
[20:39]
Stewart's body.
[20:40]
As that pun hit him like a punch to the gut.
[20:42]
Ow.
Stuart Wellington
[20:44]
Yeah.
[20:45]
His boss is basically.
[20:47]
If the weird science guys.
[20:49]
Scanned a Nagel print.
[20:51]
And she sprang to life.
Elliott Kalan
[20:53]
And so he gets a job as her private pilot.
[20:56]
And Kirstie Alley is instantly threatened.
[20:58]
By this beautiful young rich woman.
[21:01]
But what can she do?
[21:02]
They need to support the family.
[21:03]
And so he takes the job.
[21:05]
Yeah.
[21:05]
Little realizing that.
[21:06]
She has designs on him.
[21:08]
And also.
[21:09]
Will make him work all the time.
[21:11]
Taking him away from his family.
[21:13]
Now.
[21:13]
Their son wants nothing more for Christmas.
[21:16]
Than a DOG.
[21:17]
That's right.
[21:17]
A dog.
[21:19]
Four paws.
[21:20]
Took me a second.
[21:20]
But I spelled it out.
[21:21]
Yeah.
[21:22]
We had to do it.
[21:23]
In our head.
[21:24]
And.
[21:24]
Jewel.
[21:25]
Their little girl wants nothing more.
[21:27]
Than to defeat Charles Barkley.
[21:28]
In a one on one basketball game.
[21:30]
Which we see in a fantasy sequence.
[21:32]
That has no bearing on the plot.
[21:34]
And is oddly sexual.
[21:35]
Yes.
[21:36]
It's a weird.
[21:36]
She.
[21:37]
She stares at him on TV.
[21:39]
In a weirdly sexual way.
[21:41]
And.
[21:41]
It's.
[21:42]
It's.
[21:43]
I don't know.
[21:43]
And.
Stuart Wellington
[21:44]
I don't know about you guys.
[21:45]
But I was looking up at the IMDB trivia for this scene.
[21:48]
I was not.
[21:48]
And they specified that.
[21:50]
They had to slow down the basketball footage.
[21:53]
Like a.
[21:54]
Hong Kong martial arts movie.
[21:55]
Or else the audience wouldn't know what was going on.
[21:57]
They had to specify.
[21:58]
Hold on a second.
Elliott Kalan
[21:59]
Do they not.
Stuart Wellington
[22:00]
Wait.
[22:01]
So are basketball games slowed down?
[22:02]
Because people watch those all the time.
[22:04]
Well.
[22:04]
Normal basketball games don't happen at the speed.
[22:06]
That this little girl is dribbling the ball.
[22:08]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[22:08]
That's the thing.
[22:08]
She's so good.
[22:09]
And then.
[22:10]
Then.
[22:11]
Dropping a hot dunk on Charles Barkley.
[22:13]
Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[22:14]
They did bring in a wire foo master from the Shaw Brothers stable for that scene.
[22:20]
Now.
[22:21]
He wants a dog.
[22:22]
They don't want to get him a dog.
[22:23]
They live in a tiny New York apartment.
[22:25]
In a New York that looks suspiciously like Los Angeles in every single way.
[22:29]
Except that the cars have New York license plates.
[22:31]
But.
[22:32]
Or it actually.
[22:33]
They probably shot it in Vancouver.
[22:34]
So I don't know.
[22:35]
Maybe that's what Vancouver looks like.
[22:37]
Yeah.
[22:37]
I wouldn't know.
[22:38]
The only experience I have in Vancouver is seeing the movie.
[22:41]
The score with Robert De Niro.
[22:44]
Which takes place in Vancouver.
Dan McCoy
[22:45]
And the only experience I have of the score with Robert De Niro is.
[22:49]
When I mentioned it just now.
[22:51]
Is Marlon Brando saying to Frank Oz that he's not one of the puppets.
[22:56]
That he can stick his hand up his ass and make him do what he wants.
Stuart Wellington
[22:59]
Ironically.
[22:59]
My only experience with Frank Oz is watching Star Wars.
[23:03]
Star Star Wars.
[23:04]
He's not in that.
[23:05]
He's in Empire Strikes Back.
Elliott Kalan
[23:06]
But he's not in Star Star Wars.
[23:08]
He is in Star Star Wars.
[23:09]
Yeah.
[23:10]
That's true.
[23:10]
That's the movie where Star Wars is reinterpreted using real stars.
[23:15]
Andromeda.
[23:16]
Our own son.
[23:18]
Beetlegeist.
[23:19]
Beetlegeist.
[23:19]
Yeah.
[23:20]
Yeah.
[23:20]
And Sirius.
[23:21]
Altar.
[23:23]
Altar.
[23:23]
Sirius.
[23:24]
The dog star.
[23:25]
Speaking of dogs.
[23:26]
They're in this movie.
[23:27]
So the son wants a dog.
[23:28]
There's a mishap with a Santa Claus.
[23:30]
Kirstie Alley briefly has a job as an elf at a Santa Claus thing.
[23:33]
This is a very Christmassy movie.
[23:35]
And so pretty quickly I shut off much of my brain because Christmas.
Dan McCoy
[23:40]
Because you hate our Savior, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
[23:43]
Hate is a strong word.
Elliott Kalan
[23:45]
I have no emotional connection to.
Dan McCoy
[23:47]
Well, he is an emotional connection to you.
[23:50]
Nope.
Elliott Kalan
[23:51]
I have a pamphlet for you.
[23:51]
And potentially an ethnic connection to him too.
[23:54]
Oh, much stronger ethnic connection.
[23:56]
Potentially.
Stuart Wellington
[23:57]
Yeah, there's a lot of controversy.
[23:58]
I'm waiting on Elliot's birth certificate.
Elliott Kalan
[24:01]
I'm going to go on Finding Your Roots and they're going to do my DNA study.
[24:04]
It's going to say 100% Christ.
[24:05]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[24:06]
I'll check your birth certificate.
[24:08]
I knew you were a secret keybler.
Elliott Kalan
[24:12]
Born in a tree, huh?
[24:15]
So she gets a job as an elf.
[24:18]
There's a lot of Christmas in this movie.
[24:20]
And the movie is very, very heavily relying on the audience having an emotional connection to Christmas
[24:25]
and the idea of a family being together on Christmas.
[24:28]
And since Christmas to me is associated with easier to get a movie ticket, easier to get a table at a Chinese restaurant.
Dan McCoy
[24:35]
I mean, you're not a monster, right?
[24:36]
You can theoretically understand.
[24:37]
I wish I was a monster.
Elliott Kalan
[24:38]
You can understand.
[24:39]
Since I was a kid, I've wanted to be a monster.
Stuart Wellington
[24:40]
Can you be like a Howie Mandel, Little Monsters monster where you're peeing in apple juice jugs?
[24:44]
That I don't want to be.
[24:45]
Okay.
Elliott Kalan
[24:46]
I would rather be, okay, number one, Godzilla type monster.
[24:50]
Okay.
[24:50]
Oh, okay.
[24:50]
Number two, a Dracula.
[24:52]
Mm-hmm.
[24:53]
Number three, a wolfman, but I can control the transformations.
[24:56]
Number four, a Ducula.
[24:58]
A Ducula.
[24:58]
Oh, sure.
[24:59]
Yeah, come on.
Stuart Wellington
[25:00]
Number five, Bunnicula.
[25:05]
Yeah, there's a lot of Culas that I could be.
Elliott Kalan
[25:08]
Drac, Bun, Duck.
[25:10]
Mm-hmm.
[25:11]
Now, would you want to be a Godzilla-sized Dracula?
[25:14]
That would be silly.
[25:15]
How am I going to find a tuxedo big enough to wear?
[25:18]
I'm just going to be a naked Dracula.
[25:20]
And that's not something anyone needs to see.
[25:22]
So, Dan.
Dan McCoy
[25:22]
I was just saying that as a gentleman of the Jewish faith, you can still understand the
[25:26]
idea of wanting to be with your family on the holidays.
[25:29]
Oh, look.
Elliott Kalan
[25:30]
I'm-
[25:30]
The sympathy.
[25:31]
I have a wife and child.
[25:32]
Yeah.
[25:33]
Much more-
[25:34]
What?
[25:35]
Sorry.
[25:35]
Much more-
[25:36]
I was cheating on you with my family.
[25:38]
You son of a bitch.
[25:39]
A much more important holiday to me, Passover, is coming up at the end of the week.
[25:43]
We're recording this.
[25:44]
And it's very important for me to be with my family during that holiday.
[25:47]
I'm not going to make a movie about it.
[25:49]
Mm-hmm.
[25:49]
Maybe I will.
[25:50]
I'm going to call it Past Over.
Dan McCoy
[25:52]
You're going to call it Bitter Urb.
Elliott Kalan
[25:55]
It's like that movie, A Celebration.
Dan McCoy
[25:58]
Yeah.
[25:58]
Except it's at Passover.
[26:00]
That was the one, right?
[26:01]
Where it turns out everything's terrible?
[26:03]
I mean, yes.
[26:05]
Everything's terrible in a celebration.
[26:06]
So, wait.
[26:06]
It's an ironic title?
Stuart Wellington
[26:07]
What?
[26:08]
It's an ironic title?
[26:09]
Very ironic.
[26:09]
Like the comedy or entertainment?
[26:11]
Yeah.
[26:12]
What's entertainment?
Elliott Kalan
[26:13]
It's that Neil Hamburger movie.
[26:15]
Oh, right.
[26:16]
Okay.
[26:17]
Not that's entertainment, which is not ironic.
[26:19]
Very entertaining.
Stuart Wellington
[26:21]
So...
[26:21]
Or Gunsmoke.
Elliott Kalan
[26:23]
Also not ironic.
[26:25]
Oh, it's...
[26:26]
Let's think of some other movies that don't have ironic titles.
[26:29]
Yeah.
[26:30]
Hellraiser?
[26:31]
Not ironic.
[26:32]
I raised a lot of hell.
[26:33]
Candyman?
[26:33]
He appears in it.
[26:34]
Yep.
[26:35]
Tons of candy.
[26:35]
It's ironic, though.
[26:37]
Look who's talking now.
[26:39]
A little ironic in that it's not who's talking, it's what's talking.
[26:42]
It's more dramatic.
[26:43]
Death really did become her.
[26:45]
They looked great.
[26:46]
Yeah.
[26:46]
Come on.
[26:47]
Now, look who's talking now.
[26:50]
So, they want to be together on Christmas.
[26:52]
Who wouldn't want to be?
[26:53]
But his job keeps taking them apart, and they both worry about their marriage.
[26:58]
At the same time, John Travolta, to get on his son's good side, brings him to the pound
[27:03]
to get a dog.
[27:04]
Yeah, after his son realizes that Santa Claus doesn't exist.
[27:06]
Let's rewind to the introduction of Rocks, voiced by Danny DeVito, who is a dog who is
[27:13]
born in a litter of dogs.
[27:14]
Who rocks.
[27:15]
Each of the look who's talking movies, as kids' movies, starts with a scene that introduces
[27:21]
sperm flying towards an egg.
Stuart Wellington
[27:23]
And if you had been taking bets as to whether or not this movie would feature the song Hound
[27:29]
Dog, you would clean up on your bet.
Elliott Kalan
[27:32]
Yeah, although it is one-to-one odds.
[27:34]
You would win exactly the same amount of money that you bet.
[27:38]
I think that's...
[27:39]
You are literally...
[27:40]
You might as well just not make the bet.
Dan McCoy
[27:42]
Now, I'll be honest with you.
[27:43]
I think that seeing the original look who's talking with the credits of a sperm fertilizing
[27:47]
an egg may have been, up until that point, the...
[27:52]
The most erotic thing you'd ever seen?
[27:54]
I saw it at a church lock-in, and it may have been the...
Elliott Kalan
[27:57]
What kind of monster locked you in a church?
Dan McCoy
[28:00]
It may have been the clearest explanation of how an egg is fertilized that I'd seen or
[28:07]
understood up until that point.
[28:09]
Sure.
[28:09]
Like, I saw this in early high school, and it is the state of sex education in this country
[28:15]
that, look who's talking, probably got it across the clearest, like, what the deal was.
Elliott Kalan
[28:20]
Well, did they show you the PG-rated cut, or did they show you the R-rated cut where you
[28:24]
actually see the penis's head enter, and then it's the urethra open like the maw of a sandworm?
[28:29]
Mm-hmm.
[28:29]
Just spewing it out.
[28:31]
Childhood.
[28:32]
Yeah.
[28:32]
That didn't happen.
[28:34]
But in here, it's dog sperm and dog eggs.
[28:36]
A litter is born, and the one that nobody wants, the runt, if you will, is Rox, played by
[28:40]
Danny DeVito.
[28:42]
Voiced by Danny DeVito, although I'm assuming...
[28:43]
He's not in his dog costume.
[28:45]
Yeah, when they were blocking out the scenes, he and Diane Keaton put on dog outfits.
[28:50]
He and Diane Keaton put on dog outfits, and they staged it, and they go, okay, bring in
[28:54]
the real dogs.
[28:58]
What if they shot the whole thing with Diane Keaton and Danny DeVito in dog costumes?
[29:03]
They're like, this doesn't look good at all.
[29:04]
We'll just CGI some dogs in there over them.
Stuart Wellington
[29:09]
I just want to imagine these little kids acting with Danny DeVito on all fours.
Elliott Kalan
[29:14]
And Diane Keaton on all fours, wearing horrific latex dog masks.
Dan McCoy
[29:19]
And Danny DeVito is so excited on the premiere to see himself in the movie.
Elliott Kalan
[29:23]
He's just, what?
[29:24]
What do they...
Dan McCoy
[29:25]
All right.
[29:26]
And walks out, so angry.
Elliott Kalan
[29:28]
This is the Lorax all over again, even though that hasn't been made yet.
Stuart Wellington
[29:33]
So what did he say, Stuart?
[29:34]
I'm just glad...
[29:35]
I would have been really sad, because Rhea Perlman, I'm sure, dressed up really nice
[29:38]
to see her boy all up on the big screen.
Elliott Kalan
[29:41]
Yeah, she had a diamond dog-shaped brooch.
[29:44]
He actually wore his...
[29:45]
Mother of Pearl.
[29:46]
Oh, yes, right.
[29:47]
He wore his costume to the premiere.
[29:49]
So they didn't even know it was him.
[29:50]
They just thought it was some crazy dog man.
[29:52]
And they shoot him away with a broom.
Stuart Wellington
[29:55]
She said they shoot him.
[29:59]
They're like, get this dog boy out of here.
[30:00]
Go back to Rift.
Dan McCoy
[30:02]
Yep, they shot him.
Elliott Kalan
[30:04]
Oh, no.
[30:06]
You gotta understand.
[30:07]
You gotta understand.
[30:08]
It's me, Daniel DeVito.
Dan McCoy
[30:10]
Sure, sure it is.
[30:11]
The limoncello magnate, Danny DeVito.
Elliott Kalan
[30:16]
Magnate.
[30:18]
Last time I checked, Danny DeVito wasn't half man, half dog, you freak.
[30:22]
It's me, John Candy from Spaceballs.
[30:24]
Oh, I'm so sorry, sir.
[30:25]
Barf, it's great to meet you.
[30:26]
Come in, Mr. Mog.
[30:29]
Mr. Mog with Michael Keaton.
Stuart Wellington
[30:32]
Mr. Mog is my father.
Elliott Kalan
[30:34]
Call me Bernie Mog.
[30:36]
Now, anyway.
[30:38]
Rocks, he briefly pals around with a homeless man.
[30:42]
That doesn't work out because he gets caught by the animal control person.
Stuart Wellington
[30:44]
Shots of a dog running around and Danny DeVito providing voiceover.
Elliott Kalan
[30:48]
And Danny DeVito just throwing jokes, maybe ad-libbed, maybe not, onto the screen.
[30:54]
You have to assume Danny DeVito and Diane Keaton each did their jobs for this movie in about 90 minutes, maybe two hours.
[31:01]
One can only hope.
Dan McCoy
[31:03]
He goes to the pound.
[31:04]
Can we do another take on that, Mr. DeVito?
[31:06]
No?
[31:06]
All right.
[31:07]
Thank you.
[31:08]
Nope.
[31:09]
Miss Keaton, another take on that.
[31:10]
Okay.
Elliott Kalan
[31:11]
I prefer to think Diane Keaton kept them there really late trying to get every line perfect.
[31:15]
Yeah.
[31:15]
She's like, you don't understand.
[31:17]
This is Diane Keaton you're talking about.
[31:19]
Everything I do is important to me.
[31:21]
I have to become Daphne the dog.
[31:24]
Rocks gets, he's about to be destroyed at the pound, but luckily John Travolta and his son save him by adopting him.
[31:31]
But when they get home, they find that John Travolta's boss, the sexy British lady, she's British too,
[31:37]
the sexy British lady has given them a super fancy poodle dog with the voice of Diane Keaton.
[31:44]
Again, as we explained, not played by Diane Keaton physically.
[31:47]
Although, probably.
[31:49]
We can only assume the mo-cap was done by Diane Keaton in real life.
[31:54]
These dogs are a handful.
[31:55]
Daphne needs all the special treatment and a Rocks is always chewing up the shoes.
Dan McCoy
[31:59]
It was sort of charming to see old style dogs talking in a movie where they didn't feel like they need to, you know.
[32:07]
Old style dogs?
[32:08]
Yeah, my dogs, same.
[32:09]
I mean, they didn't have the technology.
Elliott Kalan
[32:11]
Hearing dogs in Art 6, we talk like this.
Stuart Wellington
[32:14]
I mean, they didn't have-
[32:15]
We still play poker around here, not those Game Boys.
[32:20]
Oh, I want to see a dog's playing Game Boys paintings so badly now.
[32:23]
Yep.
Elliott Kalan
[32:24]
They're not playing-
[32:24]
Game Boys.
[32:25]
Fucking Tetris?
[32:26]
Maybe one of them is playing Lynx.
Dan McCoy
[32:28]
Oh, okay.
[32:29]
Yeah, the other ones are all playing Tetris and they're not talking to each other.
Elliott Kalan
[32:32]
That's the modern thing that dogs do is they play Game Boys.
[32:36]
I don't know.
[32:37]
Candy Crush.
[32:38]
But Game Boys means something to me, you were saying.
[32:41]
No, I just like-
[32:41]
They don't have animated maps.
[32:42]
They don't have animated maps.
Dan McCoy
[32:43]
I mean, that started with Babe.
[32:44]
So it's not like they had the technology back-
[32:47]
The Babe with John Goodman?
[32:47]
That's right.
[32:49]
They animated John Goodman's mouth.
Elliott Kalan
[32:50]
See, I always thought they just put peanut butter on his teeth so that he would look at me.
[32:54]
It would look like he was talking.
[32:56]
That's right.
[32:56]
In fact, look who's talking.
[32:59]
That is John Goodman in the movie.
[33:01]
Yeah, but you're right.
[33:02]
There's no animated mouths.
[33:04]
There's no puppets.
[33:05]
It's just a dog with a-
Dan McCoy
[33:06]
Yeah, it's kind of fun to see the old style of like, I don't know, just putting a voice over a dog.
Elliott Kalan
[33:11]
I've got to tell you, Dan, I'm nostalgic for a lot of old movie production techniques.
[33:15]
This is not one that plucked at my heartstrings.
[33:18]
Oh, the laziest thing.
[33:20]
They're just having someone talk over footage of a dog.
Stuart Wellington
[33:22]
Yeah, they don't even try and match it up to the dog flapping its gums.
Elliott Kalan
[33:25]
Or even the dog doing an action that matches the dialogue sometimes.
Stuart Wellington
[33:29]
And they're able to communicate with each other.
[33:31]
So I guess they're all like telekinetic?
[33:33]
Or no, telepathic?
Elliott Kalan
[33:35]
Yeah, that has to be something.
[33:36]
Because they're not even growling.
Stuart Wellington
[33:37]
They're just thinking at each other.
Dan McCoy
[33:38]
Or is that them communicating using pheromones?
[33:41]
It's the old question of the Garfield comic strip, isn't it?
[33:44]
I mean, because those are all thoughts.
[33:45]
Yeah, but Garfield says something.
Stuart Wellington
[33:48]
My real question is, how does this cat eat so much fucking lasagna?
Elliott Kalan
[33:51]
He's very fat.
[33:53]
Garfield thinks something.
[33:54]
Does Odie hear it?
[33:56]
I think there's no evidence to believe Odie does hear it.
[33:59]
Yeah.
[33:59]
Nermal, on the other hand, he seems to be communicating with.
[34:02]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[34:02]
But that could be all body language.
Elliott Kalan
[34:04]
The look who's talking to, there the kids did the same thing.
[34:09]
They just kind of thought at each other.
[34:11]
And they could understand and have conversations.
[34:13]
Which, having grown up with a sibling, that is not how it works.
[34:16]
Not at all.
[34:18]
You have to communicate through a series of complicated fart codes.
Dan McCoy
[34:22]
See, that was because they had the grace of babies.
[34:25]
It was before they had sin, Elliot.
[34:27]
So they had the power of telekinesis.
[34:29]
I thought we were born.
[34:30]
Telekinesis.
[34:31]
Telekinesis.
[34:32]
I thought telekinesis.
[34:33]
Yep.
Elliott Kalan
[34:34]
Whoa, there's a full baggage there.
[34:35]
Whoa, it's a good life all over again.
[34:38]
He was born and the pain was so much that he destroyed the world with his telekinetic powers.
Dan McCoy
[34:42]
There's that deleted scene where they wish John Travolta into the cornfield.
[34:45]
And he just starts dancing in it or whatever.
Elliott Kalan
[34:48]
Now, I don't even, oh yeah, so they've got these dogs.
Dan McCoy
[34:52]
Yeah, there's dogs.
[34:54]
It's all over.
Elliott Kalan
[34:54]
The two dogs don't like each other.
[34:56]
It's a real, I mean, I guess Hollywood had never made a movie before about like a rich,
[35:01]
fancy dog first having trouble with and then falling in love with like, let's just call
[35:05]
it a tramp for lack of a better word, like kind of a dirty vagabond dog like this.
[35:10]
And there's a scene where they almost have spaghetti with each other.
[35:13]
Like that's, I mean, you got to give them credit for like an original gag.
Stuart Wellington
[35:17]
That's the scene where they leave a sleeping Kirstie Alley and then go out on the town and
[35:21]
walk past a full restaurant of people eating giant pasta meals.
[35:25]
Full Italian, I assume it's an olive garden.
[35:28]
Yeah, which is either an all night pasta place.
[35:30]
Or Kirstie Alley goes to bed at six or something.
Elliott Kalan
[35:33]
She's very tired from taking care of these kids while John Travolta's jetting around with
[35:37]
his posh spice boss.
[35:39]
Okay, Christmas is coming.
Stuart Wellington
[35:42]
Ah!
[35:43]
I didn't find any gifts for anybody.
Elliott Kalan
[35:45]
This movie does not let you forget it for a second.
[35:46]
It is constantly Christmasing up.
[35:49]
And that's another mark in the direction of this not having been shot in New York is that
[35:54]
literally until the day of Christmas, it does not look cold at all.
[35:59]
Anywhere.
Stuart Wellington
[36:00]
Yeah.
[36:00]
So we're to believe, we're introduced to the idea that the little boy wants a dog and it's
[36:07]
September.
[36:08]
Uh.
[36:09]
I believe when he first starts working.
[36:11]
Oh yeah, is he going back to school?
[36:11]
Yeah, he's working on his Christmas list in September and he says he wants a dog.
[36:15]
And that's roughly around the same time as Danny DeVito dog squirts out of the mommy dog stuff.
[36:20]
Yeah.
[36:21]
Uh.
[36:22]
So that means between September and.
[36:25]
He doesn't need to be too romantic about a dog.
[36:26]
I know.
[36:27]
Between September and let's say December.
[36:29]
Okay.
[36:29]
He becomes a pretty large dog.
Elliott Kalan
[36:31]
Let's say December since that's when Christmas is.
[36:33]
Let's just say December.
[36:35]
I hadn't realized that, but it makes more sense than if the whole movie takes place in December.
[36:39]
In which case, Rox would be like a jack of a dog where he ages four times faster than
[36:43]
everybody else.
[36:44]
It's a really sad movie.
[36:45]
It's tragic.
[36:47]
Dogs already age seven times as fast as humans.
Stuart Wellington
[36:49]
He's a Solomon Grundy of a dog.
[36:52]
That he was born on a Monday?
[36:54]
Yep.
[36:54]
But he died like he just lives a week, right?
[36:56]
Isn't that the whole thing?
[36:58]
That he's a mayfly.
[36:59]
Yeah.
[36:59]
Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[37:01]
There's a whole lot of kerfuffle over Christmas.
[37:04]
Is John Travolta going to make it there?
[37:05]
He keeps promising, I'll be home for Christmas.
[37:07]
I'll be home for Christmas.
[37:08]
I'll be home for Christmas.
[37:09]
I'll be home for Christmas.
[37:10]
Meanwhile, Christy Alley and John Travolta are kind of suspecting each other of being unfaithful
[37:17]
in that.
[37:18]
And this is illustrated by a double dream sequence.
[37:21]
Yep.
[37:21]
In which John Travolta dances with his boss, a tango of some kind.
[37:25]
And Christy Alley is just like making out with George Seagull as a Santa Claus.
Dan McCoy
[37:31]
Yeah, as Santa Claus.
[37:32]
Because earlier on in the movie, we didn't mention this.
[37:34]
Christy Alley, after she gets a pink slip from her high-powered business job, the only
[37:40]
job she can find is as an elf in a mall Santa Claus.
[37:44]
In a mall Santa Claus?
[37:46]
Inside a mall Santa Claus.
Elliott Kalan
[37:46]
After the kids fall into his butt in his outfit there, he hands them presents.
[37:50]
And she's like, hey, how you doing?
[37:52]
Have a spleen.
[37:54]
I mean, I guess.
[37:54]
Don't tell him I'm in here.
[37:55]
It's very warm and I don't have to pay rent.
Stuart Wellington
[37:58]
That entrance makes the most sense because it's probably the lowest entrance to the ground,
[38:02]
depending on dick length.
Elliott Kalan
[38:04]
Wait, so what?
[38:05]
All right.
[38:07]
I mean, we can go out of tape measure.
[38:10]
I forgot.
[38:11]
You know what?
[38:11]
Forget I introduced the idea of entering Dusana's butt.
[38:15]
Let's just erase that from our minds.
Dan McCoy
[38:17]
But the decision on what entrance to you is completely made on lowness to the ground.
[38:22]
For kids.
Stuart Wellington
[38:22]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[38:23]
What, are they going to get on a steps tool?
Stuart Wellington
[38:26]
The kids are like water.
[38:29]
They choose the path of least resistance.
[38:31]
They go into the first hole they find, dude.
Elliott Kalan
[38:33]
Yeah, they're like golf balls or gophers.
[38:37]
Okay.
Stuart Wellington
[38:40]
Yeah.
[38:40]
It's common.
[38:41]
I know a couple of things.
[38:43]
That's one of them.
[38:43]
The other is get on the floor.
[38:46]
Wait, open the door.
[38:47]
Get on the floor.
[38:48]
Everybody walk the dinosaur.
Dan McCoy
[38:49]
Look at this one of the things you know.
[38:51]
There's two things I know.
[38:53]
You're like, okay.
[38:55]
There's a filing cabinet.
[38:56]
It's on the outside.
[38:58]
It says things I know.
Elliott Kalan
[38:59]
This is in his brain.
[39:01]
Zoom into Stuart's brain.
[39:03]
There's a file cabinet with spider webs all over it that says things I know.
[39:07]
And it's mostly drink recipes and what different boobs look like.
[39:12]
And there's a video cabinet next to it that just has Head of the Family, Invisible Maniac, and Castle Freak.
[39:19]
Yep.
Dan McCoy
[39:20]
Oh, man.
[39:22]
And then there's the fact that you, a kid, enters through the lowest entrance to the floor.
Elliott Kalan
[39:27]
And also the steps to walking the dinosaur.
[39:30]
Okay.
Stuart Wellington
[39:31]
I open the door.
[39:32]
I think I can walk the dinosaur now.
[39:33]
Whoa, whoa.
[39:34]
Let me check.
[39:34]
I didn't get on the floor.
[39:37]
Yeah, you'll get crushed.
Elliott Kalan
[39:40]
So they have a double dream sequence where the dreams start interacting with each other.
Stuart Wellington
[39:46]
Yeah, and this is actually like, this is kind of a fun scene.
[39:49]
Yeah.
[39:49]
It's silly.
[39:51]
It plays with what you can do in film, I guess you could say.
[39:55]
Yeah.
[39:56]
And John Travolta, at this point, John Travolta is more charming as a...
Elliott Kalan
[40:03]
This does John Travolta entering the room.
Stuart Wellington
[40:06]
What, are you making fun of my movie?
[40:09]
What is it?
[40:10]
This is me, John Travolta.
[40:12]
I will say John Travolta does do a lot of voices in the movie.
Elliott Kalan
[40:15]
He seems to have thought like, I do a lot of good voices.
[40:17]
I'll bring them all out.
[40:18]
Stuart, so you were saying John Travolta.
Stuart Wellington
[40:20]
Well, I'm just saying that he is a very charming dance performer.
[40:24]
And that's kind of what he was...
[40:25]
Before Pulp Fiction, that was kind of what he was known for, right?
[40:28]
Was his dancing skills.
Elliott Kalan
[40:29]
Well, because Saturday Night Fever, along with Welcome Back, Hotter, I guess,
[40:32]
like those are things that made him a star.
[40:34]
And yeah, dancing was something that he always had in his back pocket
[40:37]
that he, when you look back at his career,
[40:40]
like didn't use anywhere near as much as you'd think he would.
[40:43]
I mean, he dances a lot in like fucking Phenomenon or Michael,
[40:46]
which is the one where he's like magic.
[40:48]
Michael is the one where he's an angel.
[40:50]
Phenomenon is the one where he has a tumor that gives him telekinetic powers.
[40:53]
Oh, okay.
Dan McCoy
[40:54]
I've seen a roadhouse in Michael where he's dancing around.
Elliott Kalan
[40:57]
Yeah, I think after Pulp Fiction, people were like...
Stuart Wellington
[40:59]
Which is the one where he's dancing to Spirit in the Sky.
[41:01]
That's Michael.
Elliott Kalan
[41:02]
Okay.
[41:02]
So after Pulp Fiction, I think people were like,
[41:04]
oh yeah, this guy can dance.
[41:05]
So they shoehorn dancing into like almost all of his movies.
[41:09]
But like in Get Shorty, he doesn't dance, right?
[41:11]
No.
Dan McCoy
[41:12]
No, I don't think so.
Elliott Kalan
[41:13]
He just throws James Gandolfini down a staircase,
[41:15]
which was another talent he had that people forgot about.
[41:17]
Yeah.
[41:18]
Gandolfini throwing.
[41:21]
He silver medaled in the Olympics.
[41:23]
So they're dancing.
[41:24]
Kirstie Alley enters John Travolta's dream and is like,
[41:27]
oh, this is just a dream.
[41:28]
We're not really cheating on each other.
[41:29]
And Kirstie Alley goes, if this is a dream,
[41:31]
I can do whatever I want.
[41:32]
And she makes the blonde lady disappear,
[41:35]
revealing just two boob implants,
[41:37]
which is like saline bags that fall around.
[41:38]
That doesn't make any sense at all.
[41:40]
Or silicone bags.
Stuart Wellington
[41:40]
If her clothes disappear, why do those not disappear?
[41:43]
I mean, maybe that like the Lord doesn't,
[41:46]
like because it's not technically part of her body,
[41:48]
he considers them unclean and so doesn't accept her spirit.
[41:51]
Yeah, he's not enraptured.
Elliott Kalan
[41:52]
Yeah, she was sending John Travolta back to kill John Connor.
[41:55]
And so like she couldn't bring the non-organic material with her,
[41:58]
I guess.
[41:58]
That makes sense, yeah.
[41:59]
But there was, it's like one of the many jokes in the movie
[42:02]
where like this is a, I guess a family movie,
[42:06]
but there's some, I guess the early 90s was a time
[42:09]
of very sexualized jokes in family movies.
[42:11]
Well, I guess nowadays they have that too.
[42:13]
They do it all the time.
[42:14]
Yeah.
[42:15]
Actually, you know what?
Dan McCoy
[42:15]
You gotta keep the parents interested.
[42:18]
I forgot.
[42:19]
Going to hell in a fucking handbag.
[42:20]
I forgot.
Stuart Wellington
[42:21]
Have you seen the way these kids dress nowadays?
[42:23]
Crazy.
[42:24]
What with the backwards baseball caps?
[42:26]
And those fucking shoes with the wheels in the heel?
[42:30]
Where are they going?
[42:31]
What do they gotta do?
[42:32]
They gotta get there so fucking fast.
Elliott Kalan
[42:34]
You guys reminded me,
[42:35]
I forgot that one day a hard,
[42:36]
real rain's gonna come and wash the scum off the street
[42:38]
in the form of kids.
[42:39]
Now, and they dance together
[42:41]
in kind of an Astaire Rogers type classic dance routine.
[42:45]
And long story short,
[42:48]
it all comes to a head on Christmas
[42:50]
where the boss creates an elaborate ruse
[42:53]
to get John Travolta alone with her
[42:55]
in a cabin in a blizzard
[42:56]
that I guess she arranged with somebody.
[42:59]
She's very wealthy.
[43:00]
She unplugs the phone slash fax machine,
[43:02]
it's 1993,
[43:03]
so that he can't call out
[43:05]
and begins to seduce him
[43:07]
by pretending she doesn't know how to dance
[43:08]
and he's got a teacher.
[43:10]
Kirstie Alley is back at home
[43:11]
with her mom, Olympia Dukakis,
[43:12]
and the kids,
[43:13]
and her dad,
[43:14]
who has no lines in the film.
[43:16]
He does nod once.
[43:18]
That's true.
[43:19]
He does not.
[43:20]
He got paid sag scale for that nod.
[43:23]
And she says,
[43:25]
you know what?
[43:25]
We're not gonna spend Christmas without him.
[43:27]
We're gonna go find him
[43:28]
because apparently...
Dan McCoy
[43:29]
We're gonna spend Christmas with the Cranks.
Elliott Kalan
[43:32]
Oh, no!
[43:32]
No, the Cranks don't want to celebrate Christmas this year.
[43:35]
They're tired of it.
Stuart Wellington
[43:37]
So they...
[43:38]
She says,
[43:39]
Mom and Dad,
[43:39]
you don't have that many years left.
[43:42]
See you later.
Elliott Kalan
[43:45]
Each one of these Christmases
[43:46]
is something I cherish.
[43:47]
You gotta split.
[43:49]
Here's the Kahlua.
[43:50]
Hang out here.
[43:52]
And they pile in the car.
[43:54]
They drive up to the upstate New York cabin
[43:57]
where John Travolta's staying,
[43:58]
but it's a snowy road
[43:59]
and a tree has fallen and blocked the path.
[44:01]
Yep.
[44:02]
I guess because either the wind knocked it down
[44:04]
or the American soldiers
[44:06]
are trying to block the Hessians
[44:07]
from making their way through Brooklyn
[44:09]
to force them across the Gowanus Creek
[44:11]
and then back into Manhattan.
Dan McCoy
[44:13]
But they don't know about the headless Hessian
[44:15]
who rides through those woods.
[44:17]
Luckily, if you cross a bridge,
[44:19]
he has no powers.
Elliott Kalan
[44:20]
Oh, okay.
[44:20]
What if you cross Jeff Bridges?
[44:22]
Because he's mad at me.
Dan McCoy
[44:25]
Yeah.
[44:26]
If you cross Jeff Bridges
[44:27]
just by making him angry,
[44:29]
then yes.
[44:30]
A Hessian can't soldier can't get you anymore.
[44:32]
You should be building Jeff Bridges.
Elliott Kalan
[44:34]
And not burning Jeff Bridges.
Dan McCoy
[44:37]
Uh...
[44:37]
Bow Bridges doesn't have any effect.
[44:40]
Yeah.
[44:41]
Yeah, so don't play that card
[44:42]
in Magic the Gathering.
Elliott Kalan
[44:44]
You're gonna spend four forest mana
[44:46]
to bring in Bow Bridges.
[44:47]
You tap him and it literally says,
[44:49]
has no effect.
[44:52]
Thanks.
[44:52]
Thanks, Maximum Bob.
Stuart Wellington
[44:54]
Yeah.
[44:54]
You keep it because it's a foil card
[44:56]
and it's rare.
[44:57]
Yeah.
[44:58]
I mean, it's worth something,
[44:59]
but you don't have to put it in your playing deck.
[45:00]
You put it in your deck
[45:01]
because you're like,
[45:02]
I like alliteration, I guess.
Elliott Kalan
[45:03]
I want to show off that I have this,
[45:06]
but I just hope Dingus Egg comes up instead.
[45:08]
Mm-hmm.
[45:08]
Or what was that,
[45:09]
Prodigal Sorcerer or something?
[45:11]
I don't know.
[45:11]
That was the one where
[45:13]
it would hit you for one life
[45:14]
and the really slimy kids
[45:16]
would just play it over and over again.
Stuart Wellington
[45:17]
So I didn't actually play that much Magic the Gathering nerd.
[45:21]
Oh.
Elliott Kalan
[45:23]
Now I feel nerdy.
[45:24]
Anyway, so they pile into the car.
[45:28]
This tree gets in their way.
[45:29]
They drive down a hill and they're stuck.
Stuart Wellington
[45:32]
Christy Alley, at this point,
[45:33]
she is-
[45:34]
At this point, she starts eating her children, I guess.
Elliott Kalan
[45:36]
She's trapped in a car with her children
[45:37]
in the middle of a snowstorm.
[45:40]
She is as calm as I could imagine
[45:42]
any parent being in that situation.
[45:43]
She's like, hey, kids,
[45:44]
let's start opening presents
[45:45]
and I guess I'll go out and get a stick
[45:47]
and then walk around.
Stuart Wellington
[45:48]
And luckily all her gifts are
[45:51]
like cold weather survival gear.
Elliott Kalan
[45:53]
Yeah, they're opening up hats and earmuffs.
[45:55]
They brought the dogs-
[45:55]
An ice axe?
[45:56]
Hooray!
[45:58]
A sterno stove?
[46:00]
Fantastic.
[46:01]
They brought the dogs with them too
[46:03]
because of course,
[46:04]
you're driving in the winter,
[46:06]
you want to bring two animals
[46:07]
that can't be put in seatbelts
[46:09]
and can only jump in your lap
[46:10]
and make you swerve off the road.
[46:12]
Mm-hmm.
[46:12]
And that comes in handy
[46:14]
when a wolf comes by.
[46:15]
Yep.
[46:16]
And this wolf is the best character
[46:18]
in the movie by far.
[46:20]
He's got a Catalan accent.
Dan McCoy
[46:22]
He has the fayest voice.
[46:23]
He's either Catalan
[46:24]
or he's, yeah, he's coded as gay.
[46:27]
I don't know.
Elliott Kalan
[46:27]
And this wolf is, for some reason,
[46:29]
coded as like a gay black man on the DL.
[46:32]
He's like a still-in-the-closet Titus Andromedon
[46:37]
from Kimmy Schmidt.
[46:39]
I was going to say Titus Androgynous,
[46:40]
which is a Flophouse joke.
[46:42]
Not a real thing.
[46:44]
And he fights with rocks
[46:46]
and rocks fights him off.
[46:47]
He doesn't fight.
[46:48]
And rocks is steady.
[46:48]
He doesn't throw rocks.
[46:50]
No, no, no.
[46:50]
We're talking about rocks the character.
[46:51]
Rocks the dog.
[46:52]
By this point also,
[46:54]
rocks the dog
[46:54]
and Daphne the dog are in love.
Stuart Wellington
[46:56]
Yeah.
[46:56]
So we get,
[46:57]
we are greeted to a classic
[46:59]
Jack London Call the Wild situation
[47:01]
where rocks has to face off against,
[47:04]
we'll call him Spitz, I guess.
[47:06]
Yeah.
[47:07]
Let's call him,
[47:07]
let's call him Gay Wolf.
[47:12]
I mean, there's a laser wolf,
[47:14]
but I guess he's not gay.
[47:15]
No, and he wants to marry Tidal
[47:17]
because he's lonely.
[47:19]
What were we talking about?
[47:20]
Okay, wolf.
Elliott Kalan
[47:21]
Fiddler on the Roof.
[47:22]
So Fiddler on the Wolf
[47:23]
is the story
[47:24]
is the story of a family of wolves
[47:26]
who are Jewish
[47:27]
and they've got two marks against them.
[47:29]
One, they're Jewish
[47:30]
and czarist Russia.
[47:31]
That's tough.
[47:32]
Two, they're wolves.
[47:33]
So even the right human Jews
[47:34]
don't want them around.
[47:36]
So they've got to go to America.
[47:38]
It's called
[47:38]
An American Tale,
[47:40]
T-A-I-L,
[47:42]
Fiddler on the Wolf.
[47:43]
Part two,
[47:44]
The Reckoning.
Stuart Wellington
[47:46]
I'm trying to come up with puns
Elliott Kalan
[47:48]
for the songs.
[47:50]
Somewhere out, wolf.
[47:52]
Yep, perfect.
[47:53]
There are no whatever
[47:54]
kills wolves in America
[47:55]
and the streets are paved
[47:57]
with whatever wolves.
[47:58]
Silver, yeah, yeah.
[47:59]
Silver.
[48:00]
Silver kills wolves.
Dan McCoy
[48:02]
That's deadly to these wolves.
[48:03]
Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[48:04]
Now the sequel,
[48:06]
Fiddler on the Wolf Goes West,
[48:07]
tells the story
[48:08]
of the same characters
[48:09]
but they go west.
[48:11]
How far west?
[48:12]
Too far west.
[48:13]
They drown in the Pacific Ocean.
[48:14]
Oh no.
[48:15]
Don't worry.
[48:15]
Luckily, they're saved by...
[48:18]
Sea turtles?
[48:19]
Poseidon?
[48:20]
Both.
[48:21]
Poseidon riding a sea turtle.
[48:23]
Okay.
[48:23]
And Captain Caveman.
[48:25]
We're reintroducing the character.
[48:26]
Removing him for the 21st century
[48:28]
is like a gritty Captain Caveman character.
[48:30]
Okay.
[48:30]
He's more savage.
Stuart Wellington
[48:32]
He kills people.
[48:33]
And he's got like a giant caveman
[48:35]
penis and balls hanging out.
[48:37]
Wait, what?
[48:38]
You're so into penis and balls.
Elliott Kalan
[48:41]
I thought you were saying dark and gritty.
[48:43]
Yeah, I don't understand how that's...
[48:44]
Do the dark...
[48:45]
Christopher Nolan super movies
[48:47]
involve giant penises hanging out?
[48:49]
I don't know.
[48:50]
I thought we were just blue sky.
[48:52]
You're right.
[48:53]
There's no bad ideas in this room
[48:54]
except for that one.
[48:55]
Yeah, I didn't know
[48:56]
there was all this judgment.
[48:57]
I gotta say,
[48:58]
nothing would be less dark and gritty
[49:00]
than if superheroes
[49:00]
walked around with their penises
[49:01]
hanging out.
[49:03]
Going,
Stuart Wellington
[49:03]
woo, woo, woo.
[49:05]
As they're spinning.
[49:06]
As they're spinning.
[49:07]
Yeah, how's he gonna fly around?
Elliott Kalan
[49:09]
Oh, I guess he's got that club
[49:10]
with a little bird in it.
[49:12]
Oh no, the club now,
[49:14]
because it's dark and gritty,
[49:15]
it's just a club that just beats people.
Dan McCoy
[49:16]
The only way that superheroes
[49:17]
could activate their powers
[49:18]
by doing a little pinwheel penis action.
Elliott Kalan
[49:21]
Frederick Wortham would have been right.
[49:23]
He would have been right
[49:24]
that comic books were distorting
[49:25]
sexually and in delinquent ways
[49:28]
the juveniles of America
[49:29]
if that was the only way
[49:30]
they could activate their powers.
Dan McCoy
[49:32]
But Dr. Wortham,
[49:33]
my character, the pinwheel,
[49:35]
is just an innocent man
[49:36]
who got bitten by a radioactive penis
[49:38]
and now he has to use his penis
[49:41]
for powers.
Elliott Kalan
[49:42]
I don't know where to start
[49:43]
with telling you what's wrong
[49:44]
or problematic
[49:45]
at the very least
[49:46]
with that synopsis.
[49:48]
Okay, my character, Batman.
[49:50]
He bats things away with his penis
[49:51]
when crooks throw them at him.
[49:54]
And Robin,
[49:55]
that's his underage lover.
Dan McCoy
[49:57]
He just lives with his ward
[49:58]
called Junior Butts.
[50:01]
Junior Butts.
Elliott Kalan
[50:03]
He's actually an old,
[50:04]
crusty sea salt
[50:06]
who served in the merchant marine
[50:08]
during the Spanish-American war.
[50:10]
Okay, so he fights off the wolf
[50:14]
and then he suddenly smells
[50:16]
John Travolta somewhere
[50:17]
probably because John Travolta
[50:18]
is so turned on by his boss
[50:19]
that he's pheromoning like crazy.
[50:21]
Yeah, musky.
[50:22]
And he runs off to get him.
[50:24]
He's wearing that blousy shirt
[50:25]
and you know how sometimes
Stuart Wellington
[50:26]
that just traps the smell?
[50:27]
Yeah, yeah.
[50:28]
And then whenever you move
[50:29]
it gets released
[50:29]
through your neck hole
[50:30]
and your sleeve holes.
[50:31]
Which, that was also the time
[50:33]
where the sleeve holes
[50:34]
and the neck holes
[50:35]
were meant to be super tight
[50:36]
but everything else
[50:37]
is extra blousy.
[50:38]
It was very billowy.
Elliott Kalan
[50:39]
It was a very billowy time.
[50:41]
Everyone wanted to look
[50:42]
like a circus tent.
[50:43]
That was just the fashion.
Dan McCoy
[50:45]
So, John Travolta, meanwhile...
[50:47]
It's like old times
[50:48]
where if you're fat
[50:50]
it shows you've got extra money.
[50:51]
In this case,
[50:52]
it's like if you have extra fabric
[50:54]
it shows you have money to burn.
[50:55]
If you were poor
Elliott Kalan
[50:56]
you'd only buy shirts that fit you.
[50:57]
Yeah.
[50:58]
You wouldn't get all this
[50:59]
extra voluminous fabric
[51:00]
that makes you look like
[51:01]
you're drowning in a parachute.
[51:04]
So, John Travolta at this point
[51:06]
is on to his boss.
[51:07]
She unplugged the phone
[51:08]
and she's trying to seduce him.
[51:10]
He drops her on the ground
[51:11]
and drops her from his heart.
[51:13]
And when she says,
[51:14]
you're fired,
[51:15]
he's okay with it.
[51:16]
Rox shows up at the door.
Stuart Wellington
[51:16]
Yeah, we have an immediate turnaround.
[51:19]
Yeah.
[51:19]
They're like,
[51:20]
look, we need to end this movie now.
[51:23]
Let's just wrap this up super fast.
[51:24]
I mean, to be fair,
Elliott Kalan
[51:25]
John Travolta never seems
[51:27]
to be attracted to his boss
[51:28]
throughout the movie.
[51:29]
That's true.
[51:29]
It was more like
[51:30]
she was always coming on to him
[51:31]
but he was always like,
[51:32]
all this work,
[51:34]
I don't know what to do about it.
Stuart Wellington
[51:35]
It was kind of like
[51:36]
that movie Obsession
[51:37]
where you're supposed to believe
[51:38]
that Idris Elba
[51:39]
is being tempted away
[51:40]
by this woman
[51:41]
but at no point
[51:42]
does he actually seem tempted.
[51:43]
And also he's married
[51:44]
to Beyonce in that movie, right?
[51:45]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[51:46]
One of the most attractive women
[51:47]
in the world.
[51:48]
I mean, it boggles the mind.
[51:50]
But anyway,
[51:50]
so Rox finds John Travolta.
[51:53]
Meanwhile,
[51:54]
Daphne runs off
[51:55]
and discovers
[51:55]
how to be a wild dog
[51:57]
and smells where the park rangers are.
[51:59]
Gets them,
[51:59]
brings them back
[52:00]
to save Percy Alley.
[52:02]
Rox takes John Travolta
[52:03]
back to the cabin
[52:04]
but along the way,
[52:05]
the wolf comes back
[52:06]
with his friends,
[52:07]
other wolves
[52:08]
and a fight breaks out.
[52:10]
John Travolta shows up
[52:11]
with a ragged bandana,
[52:13]
the bandana that Rox was wearing
[52:14]
and says,
[52:15]
oh, I was attacked by wolves
[52:16]
and Rox saved me
[52:18]
and here he is.
[52:19]
Rox walks in.
[52:20]
Everyone was worried
[52:21]
that Rox was dead.
[52:23]
Yeah,
Stuart Wellington
[52:23]
they waited outside
[52:24]
for a second.
[52:25]
They're like,
[52:25]
this will be a hilarious
[52:26]
Christmas prank.
[52:27]
We'll make everyone
Elliott Kalan
[52:28]
believe you're dead.
[52:29]
Do we prank people
[52:30]
on Christmas, boss?
[52:31]
Is that what we do?
[52:32]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[52:32]
It's a thing we do on Christmas.
[52:33]
We prank people.
[52:34]
We prank people
[52:34]
on every holiday.
[52:35]
He's like, wait,
[52:36]
am I technically your boss
Stuart Wellington
[52:39]
or is that like a new nickname?
Elliott Kalan
[52:41]
Do I have to pay you?
[52:42]
Well, you already pay me in food
[52:44]
so yeah, basically.
[52:46]
Should I be contributing
[52:47]
to like pension and health for you?
[52:48]
Yeah, plan for my future, boss.
Stuart Wellington
[52:51]
So John Travolta
[52:52]
comes to the ranger station
[52:53]
to find his family.
[52:55]
I'm only assuming
[52:56]
since we don't see him,
[52:57]
the rangers in the back room
[52:58]
like slowly oiling a pistol
[53:00]
to commit suicide
[53:01]
because his one moment
[53:03]
of happiness
[53:03]
and family connection
[53:04]
has been stripped from him.
Elliott Kalan
[53:06]
Yeah, by these squatters.
[53:08]
But the ranger turns up his radio
[53:10]
and they hear Santa Claus
[53:11]
over the radio.
[53:12]
The boys' faith in Santa
[53:13]
is rekindled
[53:14]
and the movie's over.
[53:17]
Or so you think
[53:18]
because that's
[53:19]
when the craziness starts.
Stuart Wellington
[53:20]
Yeah, this is the best part
[53:22]
of the movie.
Elliott Kalan
[53:22]
At the very end of the movie
[53:24]
during the credits.
Stuart Wellington
[53:25]
We were all expecting,
[53:26]
I at least was expecting us
[53:27]
a shot of like
[53:28]
Rox and Daphne,
[53:30]
the dogs,
[53:30]
running around
[53:31]
and then a bunch of
[53:32]
fucking puppies
[53:33]
that look like each of them
[53:34]
chasing after them.
[53:35]
Or a bunch of bloopers.
[53:36]
Let's just face it.
[53:37]
Yeah, bloops.
[53:37]
Run-of-the-mill bloops.
[53:39]
Or like
[53:39]
little versions
[53:40]
of the two babies
[53:42]
running after the babies.
Elliott Kalan
[53:45]
What, to signify
[53:47]
the passage of time?
[53:48]
Yeah, I don't know.
Dan McCoy
[53:49]
But instead,
[53:50]
suddenly the way
[53:50]
that things are filmed
[53:51]
gets changed
[53:52]
and I joked like,
[53:54]
oh, here comes
[53:54]
the music video
[53:55]
because it looked
[53:56]
like a music video.
[53:57]
It was a different
[53:57]
film stock.
[53:58]
And it turns out,
[53:59]
no, it actually
[54:00]
was a musical video
[54:01]
from famous
[54:02]
baby...
[54:03]
Yeah, famous.
Stuart Wellington
[54:05]
Trish him up.
[54:06]
Trish him up.
Elliott Kalan
[54:08]
Baby musical star,
[54:09]
Geordi.
[54:10]
Now, you may not
[54:11]
remember Geordi.
[54:12]
That's because
[54:12]
he is a French novelty act
[54:14]
who had his first hit
[54:15]
when he was a baby.
[54:16]
And Santa Claus
[54:17]
stops by the house,
[54:19]
a different house
[54:19]
than we've seen
[54:20]
previously in the film
[54:21]
that I'm living in,
[54:22]
and shoves this
[54:24]
super cool,
[54:25]
rad kid in sunglasses
[54:26]
and a backwards hat
[54:27]
and neon clothes
[54:28]
down the chimney
[54:29]
where the two kid
[54:31]
stars of the movie
[54:31]
are playing.
[54:32]
This kid starts...
Stuart Wellington
[54:33]
At first,
[54:34]
I thought it was
[54:34]
like an Oliver Twist
[54:35]
thing.
[54:35]
And Santa was like,
Dan McCoy
[54:37]
is Santa bringing
[54:38]
a new kid?
[54:39]
Is that what's going on?
[54:40]
Is this the stork?
Elliott Kalan
[54:41]
Did the movie forget
[54:43]
from the beginning
[54:43]
of the film
[54:44]
how babies are made?
[54:45]
And now Santa
Stuart Wellington
[54:46]
delivers them?
Elliott Kalan
[54:47]
This kid delivers
[54:48]
a message.
[54:49]
This French kid.
[54:50]
French,
[54:52]
not quite rap,
[54:53]
not quite techno,
[54:54]
not at all rock and roll
[54:55]
song about how
[54:56]
it's Christmas
[54:57]
with the laziest delivery
[54:59]
I think any performing
Stuart Wellington
[55:00]
child has ever had.
[55:02]
He's like,
[55:02]
hey, cool kid,
[55:03]
you're so cool,
[55:04]
you don't really have
[55:04]
to move when you dance.
Elliott Kalan
[55:06]
Yeah.
[55:06]
And he sings about
[55:07]
how it's Christmas.
[55:08]
Yeah.
[55:08]
Say Christmas.
[55:10]
It's called
[55:10]
It's Christmas
[55:11]
Saint Noël.
[55:12]
Saint Noël, yeah.
[55:13]
It's Christmas
[55:14]
Saint Noël, yeah.
[55:14]
And he brings to life
[55:16]
with magic dust
[55:17]
the dolls of the world
[55:18]
the girl has gotten.
[55:20]
And then it turns out
[55:20]
they're all in a dollhouse
[55:22]
and Christy Alley
[55:22]
and John Travolta
[55:23]
have been sleeping
[55:24]
through most of this
[55:24]
and they wake up
[55:25]
and they're like
[55:26]
peering into the dollhouse
[55:27]
and seeing,
[55:28]
I assume with horror
[55:29]
that their children
[55:29]
have been miniaturized
[55:31]
like a bunch of
[55:32]
Stuart Littles
[55:33]
and are now trapped
[55:33]
inside this dollhouse
[55:34]
with a functioning fireplace.
[55:36]
And they're being
Stuart Wellington
[55:37]
led to Santa
[55:38]
like a Pied Piper situation.
Elliott Kalan
[55:40]
I have to,
[55:40]
if I was them
[55:41]
I would see Santa
[55:41]
on the roof
[55:42]
and grab him
[55:42]
like King Kong
[55:43]
and shake him
[55:44]
and be like,
[55:44]
what have you done
[55:45]
to my children?
[55:46]
Bring them back
[55:47]
or I'm gonna crush
Stuart Wellington
[55:47]
your old elf skull.
[55:49]
I've watched enough
[55:50]
Puppet Master movies
[55:51]
and Demi Toys movies
[55:52]
to know that
[55:52]
that doesn't work
[55:53]
because he'd turn his hands
[55:54]
into buzz saws
[55:55]
and chop your wrist off.
[55:56]
That's a very good point.
Dan McCoy
[55:57]
I don't want to overstate
[55:58]
I don't want to overstate
[56:00]
the final credits
[56:01]
to this movie
[56:01]
but we watched
[56:02]
the rest of this movie
[56:03]
you know,
[56:04]
mostly like a normal
[56:05]
Flophouse movie
[56:06]
and then as soon
[56:07]
as the credits hit
[56:08]
hysterical laughter.
[56:10]
It's like
Elliott Kalan
[56:11]
we hit hyperdrive.
[56:13]
It was a nonstop laughter
[56:14]
we couldn't catch
[56:15]
our breath.
[56:16]
Tears flying
[56:17]
from our faces
[56:18]
like lusty
[56:19]
Japanese characters
[56:20]
in cartoons.
[56:21]
And it was like
[56:23]
yeah,
[56:24]
it was I think
[56:25]
because the movie
[56:26]
is pretty boring
[56:27]
and dull.
[56:28]
It's a normal
[56:29]
It's just a
[56:30]
by the numbers
[56:31]
Christmas family movie
[56:32]
with talking dogs.
[56:34]
And then suddenly
[56:35]
and also
[56:36]
very American.
[56:37]
It is such a snapshot
[56:38]
of America
[56:39]
middle class
[56:40]
white America
[56:41]
in 1993.
[56:42]
And then suddenly
[56:43]
this
[56:43]
The door to madness
[56:44]
flies open.
[56:46]
In only the way
[56:47]
that a European
[56:48]
novelty act
[56:49]
can do.
[56:50]
It just becomes crazy
[56:51]
and you're like
[56:52]
what is this?
[56:54]
What rules
Stuart Wellington
[56:55]
of the universe
[56:55]
is this playing by?
[56:57]
Because it has nothing
[56:57]
like I expect
[56:58]
there to at least
[56:59]
be a dog
[57:00]
in this music video
[57:01]
but there's no dogs.
[57:03]
But
Dan McCoy
[57:04]
It is crazy.
[57:06]
It's worth watching
[57:06]
He gets across the message
[57:07]
that it's Christmas.
[57:08]
It's Christmas.
[57:09]
Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[57:10]
It's worth watching
[57:11]
the movie
[57:11]
to get to that point
[57:13]
because I feel like
[57:13]
it's not going to have
[57:14]
the full impact
[57:15]
unless you see
[57:15]
the whole film.
[57:17]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[57:18]
Oh boy howdy.
Stuart Wellington
[57:20]
You know
[57:21]
what I liked about
[57:21]
this movie
[57:22]
is how much of it
[57:23]
takes place
[57:24]
so much of the
[57:25]
scenes are
[57:26]
the kids and the dogs
[57:28]
running around
[57:28]
this tiny little apartment
[57:30]
and it feels like
[57:31]
they're trapped there
[57:32]
like some
[57:32]
one act play.
[57:34]
Yeah it's the
[57:34]
exterminating angel
Dan McCoy
[57:37]
or no exit
[57:37]
or something.
[57:39]
We should give
[57:40]
our final judgments
[57:41]
on this movie.
[57:41]
we've gone way
[57:42]
long.
[57:42]
Is this a good
[57:43]
bad movie
[57:43]
a bad bad movie
[57:44]
or a movie
[57:45]
you kind of liked.
[57:46]
I'm gonna
[57:46]
I'm honestly
[57:47]
because it's such
[57:48]
a snapshot
[57:49]
of early 90s
[57:51]
America
[57:52]
as you said
[57:53]
and because
[57:54]
maybe
[57:55]
in no small part
[57:56]
of the
[57:57]
little push
[57:58]
over the edge
[57:59]
that final
[57:59]
music video gives
[58:01]
I'm gonna give it
[58:03]
a marginal
[58:04]
good bad movie.
[58:05]
I enjoyed this movie
[58:06]
a lot more
[58:07]
than I expected
[58:08]
maybe it's
[58:10]
because of the
[58:11]
I think it's
[58:13]
almost
[58:13]
it's almost
[58:14]
certainly because
[58:14]
of the curve
[58:15]
that we're grading
[58:16]
these things on
[58:17]
after watching so many
[58:18]
bad movies.
[58:18]
Danny DeVito
Elliott Kalan
[58:18]
was hilarious.
[58:20]
Yeah.
[58:20]
As the wise
[58:21]
crockin'
[58:21]
dragon dog
[58:22]
rocks.
[58:22]
I was gonna say
[58:23]
wise crockin'.
Stuart Wellington
[58:24]
Yeah.
[58:24]
Tomorrow Dan's
[58:25]
gonna have to
[58:26]
smear some
[58:26]
bruise cream
[58:27]
on his knees
[58:28]
because he was
[58:29]
slapping those
[58:29]
knees at all
[58:30]
them jokes.
Elliott Kalan
[58:31]
Dan I'm glad
[58:32]
that you
[58:32]
finally tied
[58:33]
your sides
[58:33]
shut because
[58:34]
they were
[58:34]
splitting.
[58:36]
Though actually
[58:37]
I agree with
[58:38]
you because
[58:38]
I think
[58:39]
similar to
[58:40]
Golden Child
[58:40]
if you grew
[58:41]
up in the
[58:42]
same years
[58:42]
that I grew
[58:43]
up in
[58:43]
then just
[58:44]
looking at
[58:45]
the clothes
[58:45]
that everybody's
[58:46]
wearing in this
[58:46]
makes it
[58:47]
worth having
[58:48]
fun watching
[58:48]
and yeah
[58:49]
that video
[58:49]
at the end
[58:50]
is like
[58:50]
what?
[58:51]
I almost
[58:51]
wish we
[58:51]
hadn't
[58:52]
mentioned it
[58:52]
so that
[58:53]
people would
[58:53]
be able to
[58:54]
discover it
[58:54]
on their
[58:54]
own.
[58:55]
But I'm
[58:56]
gonna say
[58:56]
marginal
[58:57]
good bad.
[58:57]
It's not
[58:57]
so bad
[58:59]
that it's
[58:59]
fun but it's
[59:00]
like if
[59:01]
you wanna
[59:01]
see a movie
[59:02]
where every
[59:02]
outfit people
[59:03]
wear is a
[59:04]
crazy trip
[59:05]
back in time
[59:05]
20 years ago
[59:07]
then go for
[59:08]
it.
[59:08]
Stu?
Stuart Wellington
[59:08]
Yeah let's
[59:09]
do three
[59:09]
for three
[59:10]
guys.
[59:10]
Marginal
[59:11]
good bad
[59:11]
it's
[59:12]
watch with
[59:14]
somebody you
[59:14]
love.
[59:16]
For a
[59:16]
movie that
[59:17]
opens up
[59:18]
with dogs
[59:18]
talking to
[59:19]
each other
[59:19]
and then
[59:20]
dog sperm
[59:21]
flying toward
[59:22]
an egg
[59:22]
and
[59:23]
ends with
[59:24]
a little
[59:25]
French kid
[59:25]
rapping about
Elliott Kalan
[59:26]
Christmas.
[59:26]
And in
[59:29]
between it's
[59:29]
all hats
[59:30]
and puffy
[59:30]
shirts.
[59:31]
Yeah.
[59:32]

Dan's

trying to
[1:01:41]
get in
[1:01:42]
on the

act

of wasting

Elliot

let's
[1:01:55]
count the
[1:01:55]
number of
[1:01:56]
ways he
[1:01:56]
can
[1:01:56]
waste
[1:01:57]

one
[1:02:06]
way

counting

waste
[1:02:08]
time
[1:02:09]

A Little Bit of Heaven
[1:03:44]
big fan
Dan McCoy
[1:03:46]
after your fateful findings episode
[1:03:49]
I had to write in
[1:03:50]
my partner and I
[1:03:52]
cemented our relationship
[1:03:53]
at a midnight showing
[1:03:54]
of Neil Breen's
[1:03:55]
modern masterpiece
[1:03:56]
which screened in a theater
[1:03:58]
to us and maybe
[1:03:58]
five other people
[1:03:59]
later on
[1:04:01]
we rallied a few friends
[1:04:02]
to attend another screening
[1:04:03]
and as
[1:04:04]
as incentive
[1:04:05]
I created a drinking game
[1:04:07]
I call
[1:04:08]
a knee
[1:04:09]
Breenated
[1:04:10]
after the film's writer
[1:04:12]
slash director
[1:04:13]
slash hunk
[1:04:14]
slash heavy
[1:04:15]
slash hacker
[1:04:15]
slash magician
[1:04:17]
which all
[1:04:18]
I think he's also the caterer
[1:04:19]
who also
[1:04:21]
may be supernatural
[1:04:22]
if you're interested
[1:04:24]
you can find it
[1:04:25]
in Salt's Glory
[1:04:26]
here
[1:04:26]
and he sends a link
[1:04:27]
to the
[1:04:28]
the drinking game
[1:04:30]
which I hope I remember
[1:04:31]
to put up on the website
[1:04:32]
only time will tell
[1:04:33]
I bring it up
[1:04:34]
because
Elliott Kalan
[1:04:35]
somebody
[1:04:35]
listen
[1:04:35]
somebody call Dan
[1:04:36]
on Saturday
[1:04:37]

Dan McCoy
[1:04:47]
how do you spell that
[1:04:48]

Colonial Williamsburg
[1:04:55]

Colonial booty call
[1:05:09]

Dan McCoy
[1:05:10]

[1:05:11]
because at the end of the drinking game
[1:05:12]
the winner
[1:05:13]
slash loser
[1:05:14]
was tasked with
[1:05:15]
calling Neil Breen
[1:05:16]

[1:05:18]
apparently he was
[1:05:19]
or is a real estate agent
[1:05:20]
oh still is
[1:05:21]
with a phone number
[1:05:22]
and I was promptly
[1:05:23]
added to the game
[1:05:24]
oh he must live in
[1:05:25]
Colonial Williamsburg
[1:05:25]
he has a phone number
[1:05:26]
and fellows I called
[1:05:28]
and Neil Breen
[1:05:29]
picked up
[1:05:30]
for real
[1:05:31]
I was totally paralyzed
[1:05:32]
I'm not an experienced
[1:05:34]
prank caller or anything
[1:05:35]
and I didn't think
[1:05:36]
there was any chance
[1:05:37]
I'd be talking to
Stuart Wellington
[1:05:37]
did you call him
[1:05:38]
sizzle chest
[1:05:39]
when he says
[1:05:41]
I did
[1:05:42]
learn from the best
Dan McCoy
[1:05:44]
I didn't think
[1:05:44]
there was any chance
[1:05:45]
I'd be talking to
[1:05:46]
Dylan
[1:05:46]
whoops
[1:05:47]
sometimes I call Breen
[1:05:48]
by his character names
[1:05:49]
he really disappears
[1:05:49]
into a role
[1:05:50]
he said
[1:05:51]
hello
[1:05:52]
hello
[1:05:54]
hello
[1:05:56]
and then waited
[1:05:58]
before hanging up
[1:05:59]
anyway I do have a request
[1:06:01]
is there any possibility
[1:06:02]
you could call on
[1:06:03]
the power of the
[1:06:03]
flop house fans
[1:06:04]
to dig up
[1:06:05]
Breen's older movies
[1:06:06]
double down
[1:06:07]
and especially
[1:06:07]
I'm here
[1:06:08]
ellipsis now
[1:06:10]
with an extra dot
[1:06:11]
in the ellipsis
[1:06:12]
is that the one
[1:06:12]
where he's like
[1:06:13]
a cyborg jesus
[1:06:14]
well that's what
[1:06:15]
he says
[1:06:15]
I'm here now
[1:06:15]
is the one
[1:06:16]
where Neil
[1:06:16]
appears to be
[1:06:17]
some kind of
[1:06:17]
robot space jesus
[1:06:18]
who enacts
[1:06:19]
revenge on drug
[1:06:20]
dealers or something
[1:06:21]
double down
[1:06:22]
was briefly
[1:06:22]
on youtube
[1:06:23]
but I left
[1:06:23]
before I could
[1:06:24]
but left
[1:06:25]
before I could
[1:06:25]
consume it all
Elliott Kalan
[1:06:26]
that's the one
[1:06:27]
where Neil
[1:06:27]
Breen is two
[1:06:28]
breaded chicken
[1:06:29]
patties
[1:06:29]
right
Dan McCoy
[1:06:29]
that one
[1:06:31]
I can't
[1:06:33]
explain
[1:06:33]
double down
[1:06:34]
I watched it
[1:06:35]
god help me
[1:06:36]
I can't
[1:06:37]
this is Dan
[1:06:37]
talking in the
[1:06:38]
voice of Dan
[1:06:38]
and not the
[1:06:39]
writer
[1:06:39]
yeah
[1:06:40]
I did however
[1:06:41]
witness an even
[1:06:42]
reckloser abandon
[1:06:43]
when it came to
[1:06:44]
laptop usage
[1:06:45]
in double down
[1:06:46]
and Neil's
[1:06:47]
exclamation of
[1:06:48]
oh geez
[1:06:48]
when his topless
[1:06:49]
girlfriend was
[1:06:49]
shot by a sniper
[1:06:50]
while she was
[1:06:51]
in a hot tub
[1:06:51]
is not to be
[1:06:52]
missed
[1:06:53]
Pete last name
[1:06:54]
withheld
Stuart Wellington
[1:06:54]
but he's got a
[1:06:56]
new one coming
Dan McCoy
[1:06:57]
up
[1:06:57]
pass through
Stuart Wellington
[1:06:58]
something like
[1:06:59]
that yeah
Dan McCoy
[1:06:59]
I'm not sure
[1:07:01]
what he's
[1:07:01]
calling us to
[1:07:02]
do when he
[1:07:03]
says is there
[1:07:03]
any possibility
[1:07:04]
you can power
[1:07:04]
call in the
[1:07:05]
power of the
[1:07:05]
flop house to
[1:07:06]
dig up
[1:07:07]
Neil Breen's
[1:07:07]
older movies
[1:07:08]
I mean they do
[1:07:09]
exist
[1:07:09]
you can buy
[1:07:10]
them from him
[1:07:10]
right
[1:07:10]
I don't know
[1:07:12]
whether the
[1:07:13]
earlier ones you
[1:07:13]
can still buy
[1:07:14]
directly from
[1:07:16]
him
[1:07:16]
website
[1:07:16]
that'd be
[1:07:17]
crazy
[1:07:17]
findings you
[1:07:18]
can only
[1:07:19]
officially buy
[1:07:20]
from him
[1:07:20]
I know that
[1:07:21]
if you dig
[1:07:21]
hard enough
[1:07:22]
both double
[1:07:23]
down and I'm
[1:07:24]
here ellipsis
[1:07:25]
now on the
[1:07:27]
internet for free
[1:07:28]
yeah what if
[1:07:28]
you're the
[1:07:29]
world's best
[1:07:29]
hacker
[1:07:30]
but that's
[1:07:31]
Neil Breen
[1:07:31]
why would he
[1:07:32]
steal his own
[1:07:33]
movies
[1:07:33]
what if I was
[1:07:33]
the world's
[1:07:34]
second best
Elliott Kalan
[1:07:34]
hacker
[1:07:34]
top government
[1:07:35]
secrets
[1:07:36]
yeah and the
[1:07:37]
second world's
[1:07:38]
best hacker
[1:07:38]
swordfish aka
[1:07:40]
Hugh Jackman
[1:07:40]
is busy
[1:07:41]
dancing up a
[1:07:42]
storm on
[1:07:42]
Broadway or
[1:07:43]
something
Stuart Wellington
[1:07:43]
so if this
[1:07:44]
all sounds
[1:07:44]
ridiculous to
[1:07:45]
you new
[1:07:46]
listeners go
[1:07:47]
check out the
[1:07:47]
film works of
[1:07:48]
Neil Breen
[1:07:49]
or just our
Dan McCoy
[1:07:50]
episode on
[1:07:50]
faithful findings
[1:07:51]
I did a
[1:07:52]
group watch of
[1:07:53]
both of these
[1:07:54]
movies with
[1:07:55]
the flop house
[1:07:56]
me
[1:07:56]
well with the
[1:07:58]
flop house
[1:07:58]
facebook group
[1:07:59]
oh
[1:07:59]
this is something
[1:08:00]
that a lonely
[1:08:01]
person does
[1:08:02]
oh wow
Elliott Kalan
[1:08:03]
damn that's not
[1:08:04]
true
[1:08:04]
I mean it kind
[1:08:06]
of is but
Dan McCoy
[1:08:06]
but they're both
[1:08:08]
worth watching I
[1:08:09]
mean my favorite
[1:08:11]
my favorite of the
[1:08:13]
two is I'm here
[1:08:14]
now I think that
[1:08:15]
I mean he plays a
[1:08:16]
robot space
[1:08:16]
Jesus
[1:08:17]
yeah I think the
[1:08:17]
faithful findings is
[1:08:18]
still the most
[1:08:19]
accessible one in
[1:08:20]
terms of if you're
[1:08:21]
looking for a bad
[1:08:22]
movie to watch
[1:08:23]
people but I'm
[1:08:24]
here now is
[1:08:25]
maybe the craziest
[1:08:27]
one if you're if
[1:08:29]
you love the
[1:08:30]
ending of
[1:08:31]
faithful findings
[1:08:33]
where he gets
[1:08:34]
all the corrupt
[1:08:35]
government officials
[1:08:36]
to commit suicide
[1:08:37]
you will double
[1:08:38]
love the end of
[1:08:39]
I'm here now
[1:08:40]
where he literally
[1:08:41]
crucifies the bad
[1:08:43]
guys on crosses
[1:08:44]
out in the desert
[1:08:46]
that sounds great
[1:08:47]
yeah
[1:08:48]
okay sold
[1:08:49]
I'll watch that
[1:08:51]
I'll buy that
Elliott Kalan
[1:08:52]
for a dollar
[1:08:52]
Neil Briggs
[1:08:54]
RoboCop
Stuart Wellington
[1:08:55]
oh no way
[1:08:56]
I guess that may
[1:08:57]
I mean that's
[1:08:58]
kind of what
[1:08:58]
RoboCop is
[1:08:59]
is a robo
[1:08:59]
space Jesus
[1:09:00]
yeah very much
[1:09:01]
so he comes
[1:09:02]
back
Dan McCoy
[1:09:02]
um this next
[1:09:05]
one is from
[1:09:05]
Alex last name
[1:09:06]
withheld who
[1:09:06]
writes I need to
[1:09:07]
know your answers
[1:09:08]
to a very
[1:09:08]
important question
[1:09:09]
Alex Mac
[1:09:10]
okay we'll find
[1:09:11]
out
[1:09:12]
let's say a
[1:09:12]
genie appears
[1:09:13]
to you and
[1:09:13]
offers the
[1:09:14]
following deal
[1:09:15]
you will receive
[1:09:16]
a no limit
[1:09:17]
credit card and
[1:09:17]
the genie will
[1:09:18]
pay your bill
[1:09:19]
you and your
[1:09:20]
family will not
[1:09:21]
just give you
[1:09:21]
infinite money
Stuart Wellington
[1:09:22]
can I call
[1:09:22]
myself a no
[1:09:24]
limit soldier
[1:09:25]
you can do
[1:09:27]
whatever you
[1:09:27]
want to do
[1:09:28]
okay wow I
[1:09:29]
guess you're
[1:09:29]
speaking for the
[1:09:30]
letter writer
[1:09:31]
you're the
[1:09:31]
genie
[1:09:32]
that's right
[1:09:33]
so answer my
[1:09:35]
question
Elliott Kalan
[1:09:35]
some kind of
[1:09:38]
game genie who
[1:09:39]
gave me 99
[1:09:40]
lives on contract
Dan McCoy
[1:09:41]
but made me
[1:09:43]
flicker in a
[1:09:44]
weird way
[1:09:44]
you will receive a
[1:09:46]
no limit credit
[1:09:47]
card and the
[1:09:48]
genie will pay
[1:09:49]
your bill
Stuart Wellington
[1:09:49]
well what I
[1:09:52]
like about that
[1:09:52]
is that the
[1:09:53]
genie like I
[1:09:54]
don't give a
[1:09:54]
shit if the
[1:09:55]
genie pays or
[1:09:55]
not I just
[1:09:56]
don't want to
[1:09:56]
pay
Elliott Kalan
[1:09:57]
the genie has to
[1:09:59]
write a check
[1:09:59]
I guess it's
[1:10:00]
just direct
[1:10:01]
pulled from his
[1:10:02]
bank account
Stuart Wellington
[1:10:02]
the credit card
[1:10:03]
company is more
[1:10:04]
powerful than a
[1:10:05]
genie apparently
Elliott Kalan
[1:10:06]
he's inside the
[1:10:07]
lamp sitting at a
[1:10:08]
desk with little
[1:10:09]
half glasses on his
[1:10:10]
nose writing a
[1:10:11]
check and putting
[1:10:12]
it in an envelope
[1:10:13]
if I make this
[1:10:14]
out to capital
[1:10:15]
one or master
[1:10:16]
card or what
[1:10:17]
I don't know
[1:10:17]
how does this
Dan McCoy
[1:10:18]
work I forget
[1:10:20]
I'm a thousand
[1:10:21]
years old
[1:10:22]
you and your
[1:10:23]
family will never
[1:10:25]
again want for
[1:10:25]
money or any
[1:10:26]
material needs
[1:10:27]
however in order
[1:10:29]
to earn this
[1:10:29]
arrangement
[1:10:30]
here's the catch
[1:10:30]
you must agree to
[1:10:32]
watch the movie
[1:10:32]
last vegas once
[1:10:34]
a day Monday
[1:10:34]
through Friday
[1:10:35]
you are not
[1:10:36]
allowed to
[1:10:36]
multitask
[1:10:37]
close your eyes
[1:10:38]
play on your
[1:10:39]
phone etc
[1:10:39]
if you miss the
[1:10:41]
day the genie
[1:10:41]
stops paying your
[1:10:42]
bills
[1:10:42]
last vegas is
[1:10:44]
105 minutes long
[1:10:45]
which works out to
[1:10:46]
about a nine hour
[1:10:47]
work week the
[1:10:49]
rest of your time
[1:10:49]
is your own
[1:10:50]
which you can use
[1:10:51]
to watch better
[1:10:51]
movies do rewarding
[1:10:52]
creative work
[1:10:53]
jerk off etc
Elliott Kalan
[1:10:54]
I can't do that
[1:10:55]
while watching
[1:10:56]
last vegas
[1:10:57]
well you can't
[1:10:57]
multitask
[1:10:58]
what if he's
[1:10:59]
turned on by the
[1:10:59]
babes in last
[1:11:01]
vegas
Dan McCoy
[1:11:01]
still multitasking
Stuart Wellington
[1:11:03]
how is this going
[1:11:04]
to be enforced
[1:11:05]
is there going to
[1:11:05]
be like another
[1:11:06]
genie with a gun
Elliott Kalan
[1:11:07]
at that point
[1:11:08]
the genie has
[1:11:09]
to work
Dan McCoy
[1:11:09]
apparently the only
[1:11:10]
repercussion is
[1:11:12]
the contract
[1:11:14]
is voided
Elliott Kalan
[1:11:14]
well but the
[1:11:15]
genie has to
[1:11:15]
watch the movie
[1:11:16]
with you to
[1:11:17]
make sure
[1:11:17]
and so that
[1:11:18]
means the
[1:11:18]
genie has to
[1:11:19]
watch every day
[1:11:19]
and he's like
[1:11:20]
why did I do
[1:11:20]
this I'm really
[1:11:21]
punishing myself
[1:11:22]
yeah
[1:11:22]
Mephisto is
[1:11:25]
just sitting next
[1:11:26]
to you watching
[1:11:27]
last vegas every
[1:11:28]
day
Dan McCoy
[1:11:28]
well Alex's last
[1:11:29]
name withheld
[1:11:30]
seems to really
[1:11:31]
want an answer
[1:11:32]
to this question
[1:11:32]
whether we take
[1:11:33]
this deal
[1:11:33]
sorry Alex
[1:11:34]
I didn't mean to
Stuart Wellington
[1:11:35]
get off topic
[1:11:35]
nine hour work
[1:11:36]
week
Elliott Kalan
[1:11:37]
I think I might
[1:11:40]
take that deal
Stuart Wellington
[1:11:41]
yeah
[1:11:42]
I mean you got
[1:11:42]
a son you got
[1:11:43]
a feed
[1:11:43]
I got to put him
[1:11:44]
to college eventually
[1:11:45]
duh
[1:11:47]
whoa
Dan McCoy
[1:11:50]
Dan's become a bad
[1:11:51]
boy
[1:11:52]
duh
[1:11:52]
sure you take that
[1:11:55]
deal
[1:11:55]
last vegas I mean
[1:11:56]
it's not even the
[1:11:57]
worst movie we
[1:11:57]
watched
[1:11:58]
nine hours a week
[1:12:03]
Dan I didn't
Elliott Kalan
[1:12:03]
realize that I
[1:12:04]
touched a nerve
[1:12:04]
by being tentative
[1:12:06]
about that
[1:12:07]
for unlimited
[1:12:09]
miles
[1:12:10]
does the credit
[1:12:11]
card expire
[1:12:12]
like
[1:12:12]
no
[1:12:14]
do I get
[1:12:15]
miles
[1:12:16]
I feel like I
[1:12:16]
don't know
[1:12:17]
the only way it
Stuart Wellington
[1:12:17]
expires is if you
[1:12:18]
stop watching last
[1:12:19]
vegas
[1:12:20]
are you going to
[1:12:21]
be able to
[1:12:21]
travel
[1:12:22]
you got to
[1:12:23]
watch it on a
[1:12:24]
plane
[1:12:24]
yeah do you
[1:12:25]
have to watch
[1:12:25]
last vegas at
[1:12:26]
like an office
Elliott Kalan
[1:12:27]
if you charge up
Dan McCoy
[1:12:29]
your laptop I
[1:12:30]
assume that you
[1:12:30]
can watch it
Elliott Kalan
[1:12:31]
wherever
[1:12:31]
yeah can I
[1:12:31]
bring last
[1:12:32]
can I just
[1:12:33]
download it to
[1:12:33]
an ipad and
[1:12:34]
that's my last
[1:12:35]
vegas ipad
[1:12:36]
and I just
[1:12:37]
watch that
[1:12:37]
does multitasking
[1:12:38]
include like being
[1:12:39]
on a plane or
[1:12:40]
a train an
[1:12:41]
automobile if you
[1:12:42]
will I think
[1:12:42]
a snowmobile
[1:12:43]
I interpret it as
Dan McCoy
[1:12:45]
multitasking just
[1:12:46]
means that if
[1:12:47]
you're doing
[1:12:47]
something that
[1:12:48]
would distract
[1:12:49]
you from watching
[1:12:49]
last vegas at
[1:12:50]
the same time
[1:12:51]
okay so I
[1:12:52]
don't think that
[1:12:53]
necessarily being
[1:12:54]
on a plane
[1:12:54]
qualifies but
[1:12:56]
that's just me
[1:12:56]
we got to talk
[1:12:58]
to this genie
[1:12:59]
what I would
[1:12:59]
really like is
[1:13:00]
for Dan to
[1:13:01]
take this bet
Stuart Wellington
[1:13:02]
with a genie
[1:13:03]
and then have
[1:13:04]
to explain it
[1:13:05]
the first time
[1:13:05]
he goes on a
[1:13:06]
date with a
[1:13:06]
young lady
[1:13:07]
so what do
[1:13:07]
you do
[1:13:07]
for living
[1:13:08]
so much
Elliott Kalan
[1:13:08]
last vegas
[1:13:09]
for a genie
[1:13:11]
check please
[1:13:12]
another one of
Stuart Wellington
[1:13:16]
these genie
[1:13:17]
guys
[1:13:17]
I'll have
[1:13:18]
what he's
[1:13:18]
having
[1:13:19]
now why
[1:13:24]
what does the
[1:13:24]
genie get out
Dan McCoy
[1:13:25]
of you doing
[1:13:25]
this
[1:13:26]
I mean I assume
Dan McCoy
[1:13:26]
that I get up
[1:13:26]
and watch
[1:13:27]
last vegas
[1:13:27]
first thing in
[1:13:28]
the morning
[1:13:28]
just to get
[1:13:29]
it over
Stuart Wellington
[1:13:29]
that's how
[1:13:30]
you would
[1:13:30]
schedule your
[1:13:31]
day
[1:13:31]
yeah you
[1:13:32]
want to
[1:13:32]
start on a
[1:13:33]
high note
[1:13:33]
why not
Elliott Kalan
[1:13:36]
watch it
[1:13:36]
late at night
[1:13:37]
when you're
[1:13:38]
sleepy and
[1:13:38]
maybe you
[1:13:38]
miss the
[1:13:39]
end of it
Stuart Wellington
[1:13:39]
no because
[1:13:40]
then you
[1:13:41]
avoid that
[1:13:41]
contract
[1:13:42]
dude
[1:13:42]
this genie's
[1:13:44]
tough
[1:13:44]
yeah
Elliott Kalan
[1:13:45]
so but
[1:13:46]
what if
[1:13:46]
let's
[1:13:47]
okay let's
[1:13:48]
look at my
[1:13:48]
day
[1:13:48]
sure
[1:13:49]
so
[1:13:50]
Sammy gets
[1:13:51]
up
[1:13:52]
730
[1:13:53]
I guess
[1:13:53]
Sammy's
[1:13:54]
your dog
[1:13:55]
Sammy's my
[1:13:56]
son that you've
[1:13:56]
met
[1:13:56]
almost two
[1:13:58]
and a half
[1:13:58]
year old
[1:13:58]
child you've
[1:13:59]
met
[1:13:59]
he's the
[1:14:00]
light of
[1:14:00]
my life
[1:14:01]
he wrote a
[1:14:01]
song called
[1:14:02]
lego chicken
[1:14:02]
nugget
[1:14:03]
and I really
[1:14:04]
like it a lot
[1:14:04]
he uh
[1:14:05]
so
[1:14:06]
he wakes up
[1:14:08]
around like
[1:14:08]
730
[1:14:08]
so do I
[1:14:09]
get up
[1:14:09]
before him
[1:14:10]
at like
[1:14:10]
530
[1:14:11]
and watch
[1:14:11]
the last
[1:14:11]
vegas
[1:14:12]
that way
[1:14:12]
I'm already
[1:14:13]
pooped
[1:14:13]
before I'm
[1:14:14]
even taking
[1:14:14]
care of him
[1:14:15]
but then
[1:14:16]
if I'm
[1:14:16]
I can't
[1:14:17]
take care of
[1:14:17]
him while
[1:14:18]
watching the
[1:14:18]
movie
[1:14:18]
I gotta
[1:14:19]
do it
[1:14:20]
what
[1:14:20]
during his
[1:14:21]
nap
[1:14:21]
or I guess
[1:14:22]
I mean we
[1:14:23]
have a nanny
[1:14:23]
now
[1:14:23]
maybe Sammy
Stuart Wellington
[1:14:25]
can sign up
[1:14:25]
for this
[1:14:26]
genie deal
[1:14:26]
and then
[1:14:26]
he'll have
[1:14:27]
to watch
[1:14:27]
it with
[1:14:27]
you
[1:14:28]
I don't
[1:14:28]
want him
[1:14:28]
watching that
[1:14:28]
much television
[1:14:29]
at his age
Elliott Kalan
[1:14:30]
certainly not
[1:14:31]
last vegas
[1:14:32]
what's he
Stuart Wellington
[1:14:32]
not watching
[1:14:33]
television
[1:14:33]
he's gonna have
[1:14:34]
unrealistic views
[1:14:35]
of being old
Elliott Kalan
[1:14:35]
he's gotta
[1:14:36]
understand
[1:14:37]
that it's
[1:14:37]
okay to
[1:14:38]
objectify
[1:14:39]
women if
[1:14:39]
you're an
[1:14:39]
old man
[1:14:40]
but he's
Stuart Wellington
[1:14:40]
gotta understand
[1:14:41]
that he's
[1:14:42]
got unlimited
[1:14:43]
money for life
[1:14:43]
as long as
[1:14:44]
he watches
[1:14:44]
this fucking
[1:14:45]
movie
[1:14:45]
that's the
Elliott Kalan
[1:14:45]
other thing
[1:14:46]
then
[1:14:46]
so
[1:14:46]
does that
[1:14:48]
pass on
[1:14:48]
to the next
[1:14:48]
generation
[1:14:49]
or
[1:14:49]
when I die
[1:14:51]
does the
[1:14:52]
credit card
[1:14:52]
get cut off
[1:14:53]
and suddenly
[1:14:53]
my family
[1:14:55]
is a bunch
[1:14:56]
of checks
[1:14:56]
for money
[1:14:57]
on the
[1:14:57]
credit card
[1:14:58]
the genie
[1:14:58]
pays that
[1:14:59]
off and
[1:14:59]
we're like
[1:14:59]
see ya
[1:15:00]
we've got
[1:15:01]
enough money
[1:15:01]
I just
[1:15:02]
charged a hundred
[1:15:02]
million dollars
[1:15:03]
worth of
Stuart Wellington
[1:15:03]
yeah I think
[1:15:04]
he just
[1:15:04]
loopholed this
[1:15:05]
genie
Elliott Kalan
[1:15:05]
yeah take
[1:15:06]
that genie
[1:15:06]
because I
[1:15:07]
don't need
[1:15:07]
infinite money
Stuart Wellington
[1:15:08]
yeah
[1:15:09]
I just need
[1:15:09]
a lot of
[1:15:10]
money
[1:15:10]
yeah you're
[1:15:10]
just doubling
[1:15:11]
down to
Elliott Kalan
[1:15:12]
Georgia
[1:15:12]
that genie
[1:15:13]
and now
[1:15:13]
here's the
[1:15:14]
other question
[1:15:14]
what's the
[1:15:15]
credit limit
[1:15:16]
on this
[1:15:17]
credit card
[1:15:18]
because it's
[1:15:18]
not like
[1:15:18]
it's a magic
[1:15:19]
card I think
[1:15:19]
it's got no
[1:15:20]
credit limit
[1:15:20]
it's a magic
[1:15:21]
card
[1:15:21]
there's no such
[1:15:22]
thing as a
[1:15:22]
free lunch
[1:15:23]
day
[1:15:23]
there's always
[1:15:24]
a catch
[1:15:24]
there's gotta
[1:15:25]
be one
[1:15:25]
there's probably
[1:15:26]
a catch
[1:15:26]
just last
[1:15:27]
vegas
[1:15:27]
there's probably
[1:15:27]
like a
[1:15:28]
ninety five
[1:15:29]
dollar annual
[1:15:29]
fee
[1:15:30]
but also
[1:15:31]
so
[1:15:32]
but it's like
[1:15:33]
can I only
[1:15:33]
charge up to
[1:15:34]
a certain
[1:15:34]
amount
[1:15:34]
for certain
[1:15:35]
times
[1:15:36]
or is this
[1:15:36]
just an
[1:15:36]
infinity
[1:15:37]
card
[1:15:37]
genie
[1:15:38]
write in
[1:15:39]
and explain
[1:15:40]
this
Dan McCoy
[1:15:40]
yeah
[1:15:40]
and we'll
[1:15:41]
see
[1:15:42]
then we'll
[1:15:42]
see whether
[1:15:42]
we're taking
[1:15:43]
your deal
[1:15:43]
or not
[1:15:43]
I was about
[1:15:44]
to call
[1:15:44]
him
[1:15:44]
John B
[1:15:45]
but that's
[1:15:45]
racist
[1:15:45]
Eugenie Levy
Elliott Kalan
[1:15:46]
Eugenie Levy
[1:15:48]
are you
[1:15:48]
straight
[1:15:49]
tripping
[1:15:49]
boo
[1:15:49]
you got me
[1:15:50]
straight
[1:15:51]
paying off
[1:15:51]
your
[1:15:51]
credit card
[1:15:52]
boo
[1:15:52]
um
[1:15:54]
are you
[1:15:56]
straight
[1:15:56]
tripping
Dan McCoy
[1:15:56]
boo
[1:15:57]
so
[1:15:58]
yeah
[1:15:59]
let us know
[1:15:59]
I would watch
[1:15:59]
that show
Elliott Kalan
[1:16:00]
shits creek
[1:16:00]
with Eugene
[1:16:01]
Levy if he
[1:16:02]
said that
[1:16:02]
line in
[1:16:02]
every episode
[1:16:03]
maybe it's a
Dan McCoy
[1:16:06]
fine show
[1:16:07]
I haven't
[1:16:07]
seen it
[1:16:07]
last
[1:16:08]
letter of
[1:16:10]
the evening
[1:16:10]
it's titled
[1:16:11]
I'm a
[1:16:12]
genie
[1:16:13]
it's titled
[1:16:14]
in response
[1:16:15]
to Dan and
[1:16:15]
the golden
[1:16:16]
child
[1:16:16]
asking if
[1:16:17]
people knew
[1:16:17]
what he was
[1:16:18]
talking about
[1:16:19]
and it goes
[1:16:20]
like this
[1:16:20]
this isn't
[1:16:20]
streganona
[1:16:21]
is it
[1:16:21]
I do
[1:16:22]
he's talking
[1:16:23]
about touching
[1:16:24]
his wiener
[1:16:24]
sent from my
[1:16:26]
iphone
[1:16:26]
rick
Elliott Kalan
[1:16:27]
oh
[1:16:28]
I don't
[1:16:30]
remember what
[1:16:30]
that's what
[1:16:31]
I was talking
[1:16:31]
about
[1:16:31]
I don't remember
[1:16:31]
what it was
[1:16:32]
in reference
[1:16:32]
to
[1:16:33]
I was talking
[1:16:33]
about touching
[1:16:34]
your wiener
[1:16:34]
you were touching
[1:16:35]
my wiener
[1:16:36]
yeah
[1:16:36]
why
[1:16:37]
why were you
[1:16:38]
doing that
[1:16:38]
when we were
[1:16:39]
recording
[1:16:39]
yeah just to
[1:16:40]
see
[1:16:41]
just to see
[1:16:42]
what if it's
[1:16:42]
still there
[1:16:43]
yeah man
[1:16:43]
just to see
[1:16:44]
what's going
[1:16:44]
on
[1:16:45]
just to see
[1:16:46]
what's going
[1:16:47]
on
[1:16:47]
I'm just curious
[1:16:48]
I'm the only
[1:16:48]
one with a
[1:16:49]
child
[1:16:49]
I'm the only
[1:16:49]
one who has
[1:16:50]
physical evidence
[1:16:51]
that he has a
[1:16:52]
penis
[1:16:52]
that functions
Stuart Wellington
[1:16:53]
he was doing it
[1:16:55]
as some kind of
[1:16:56]
fertility idol
Elliott Kalan
[1:16:57]
oh well that
[1:16:58]
makes sense
[1:16:58]
then okay
[1:16:58]
that's all you
[1:16:59]
had to say
Dan McCoy
[1:16:59]
for all I know
[1:17:00]
you're like
[1:17:01]
a kindle
[1:17:01]
down there
[1:17:02]
a kindle
[1:17:03]
a kindle
[1:17:04]
you're a kindle
[1:17:06]
down there
[1:17:07]
you're like
[1:17:07]
sort of a
[1:17:08]
pleasant experience
[1:17:09]
but there's
[1:17:10]
something a little
[1:17:10]
off about it
[1:17:11]
it kind of
Elliott Kalan
[1:17:11]
hurts your eyes
[1:17:12]
eventually
[1:17:12]
yeah you don't
Dan McCoy
[1:17:13]
really enjoy it
[1:17:13]
as much as
[1:17:14]
like
[1:17:14]
normal
[1:17:15]
no but that's
[1:17:15]
true my penis
[1:17:16]
is not a full
Elliott Kalan
[1:17:16]
substitute for
[1:17:17]
an actual book
[1:17:18]
yeah
Stuart Wellington
[1:17:19]
so now what
[1:17:21]
do we do
[1:17:21]
in this fucking
[1:17:21]
thing
Dan McCoy
[1:17:22]
now the last
[1:17:24]
and final
[1:17:26]
those two words
[1:17:27]
mean the same
[1:17:28]
thing
[1:17:28]
segment on the
[1:17:30]
show
[1:17:30]
the post
[1:17:30]
penultimate
[1:17:31]
segment
[1:17:32]
is
[1:17:34]
uh
[1:17:35]
recommendations
[1:17:37]
movies that we
[1:17:38]
watched that we
[1:17:39]
actually liked
[1:17:40]
that we would
[1:17:41]
recommend people
[1:17:41]
to watch
[1:17:42]
without the
[1:17:43]
usual
[1:17:44]
caveats
Stuart Wellington
[1:17:45]
okay so
[1:17:46]
there's a new
[1:17:46]
segment where we
[1:17:47]
recommend a movie
[1:17:48]
we like
[1:17:49]
not new
Dan McCoy
[1:17:49]
it literally
[1:17:50]
goes back
[1:17:51]
first episode
Elliott Kalan
[1:17:52]
of the show
[1:17:53]
we'll see if it
[1:17:54]
sticks
[1:17:54]
we gotta constantly
[1:17:55]
reinvent ourselves
[1:17:57]
try it out
Dan McCoy
[1:17:57]
we're like madonna
[1:17:58]
that way
[1:17:59]
goes back to
[1:18:00]
episode number
[1:18:00]
one
[1:18:01]
uh
[1:18:02]
is there a movie
[1:18:03]
i mean i'll go
[1:18:04]
if you uh
[1:18:05]
you're talking
[1:18:06]
keep going
[1:18:07]
sure
[1:18:07]
uh
[1:18:08]
i watched a
[1:18:09]
little movie
[1:18:10]
that
[1:18:11]
um
[1:18:13]
a lot of
[1:18:14]
people
[1:18:14]
i think
[1:18:15]
dismissed
[1:18:16]
without
[1:18:17]
seeing it
[1:18:19]
for a couple
[1:18:19]
of good
[1:18:20]
reasons
[1:18:20]
number one
[1:18:22]
it has a
[1:18:22]
totally stupid
[1:18:23]
title
[1:18:23]
number two
[1:18:25]
it had a
[1:18:25]
terrible
[1:18:26]
uh
[1:18:27]
it's called
[1:18:27]
jurassic park
[1:18:28]
number two
[1:18:30]
it had a
[1:18:30]
terrible trailer
[1:18:31]
number three
[1:18:33]
it was written
[1:18:34]
by someone
[1:18:35]
that the
[1:18:36]
internet
[1:18:36]
has decided
[1:18:37]
they hate
[1:18:38]
that's
[1:18:39]
diablo
[1:18:39]
cody
[1:18:39]
okay
[1:18:40]
but i watched
[1:18:41]
a movie called
[1:18:42]
ricky and the
[1:18:42]
flash
[1:18:42]
she made the
[1:18:43]
mistake of
[1:18:44]
being successful
[1:18:44]
yeah
[1:18:46]
and uh
[1:18:48]
i really liked
[1:18:48]
ricky and the
[1:18:49]
flash
[1:18:49]
it was
[1:18:50]
i mean
[1:18:51]
you gotta
[1:18:51]
i watched it
[1:18:52]
because
[1:18:53]
jonathan demmey
[1:18:54]
directed it
[1:18:54]
and jonathan demmey
[1:18:56]
is one of my
[1:18:56]
favorite directors
[1:18:57]
it's weird
[1:18:58]
he of
[1:18:59]
stop making
[1:19:00]
sense
[1:19:01]
and something
[1:19:02]
wild
[1:19:02]
and silence
[1:19:03]
of the lambs
[1:19:04]
uh
[1:19:05]
it's funny how
[1:19:07]
that first movie
[1:19:08]
is about music
[1:19:08]
and the last movie
[1:19:09]
is about silence
[1:19:10]
yeah
[1:19:10]
and rachel getting
[1:19:12]
married which i
[1:19:13]
like a lot more
[1:19:14]
than most people
[1:19:14]
do
[1:19:15]
like me
[1:19:15]
i don't like it
[1:19:17]
very much either
[1:19:17]
but hey it's a
[1:19:18]
free country you
[1:19:19]
can like whatever
[1:19:19]
you want
[1:19:19]
well then you
[1:19:20]
probably won't
[1:19:21]
like ricky and
[1:19:21]
the flash because
[1:19:22]
i feel like it's
[1:19:23]
a slightly worse
[1:19:24]
version of rachel
[1:19:25]
getting married
[1:19:25]
and that
[1:19:26]
it's about
[1:19:26]
meryl streep
[1:19:27]
as a rock star
[1:19:27]
right
[1:19:28]
well but it's
[1:19:29]
also like she
[1:19:30]
goes back home
[1:19:31]
first to comfort
[1:19:32]
her daughter
[1:19:34]
who is getting
[1:19:35]
divorced but
[1:19:36]
then to uh
[1:19:37]
go to the
[1:19:38]
wedding of her
[1:19:39]
son who is
[1:19:40]
getting gay
[1:19:41]
married and
[1:19:42]
or married
[1:19:43]
as it's called
S5
[1:19:44]
i'm going to
Dan McCoy
[1:19:45]
specify i'm
[1:19:46]
specifying that
[1:19:47]
because she is
[1:19:48]
she plays like
[1:19:49]
kind of a
[1:19:49]
republican uh
[1:19:50]
character in
[1:19:51]
the uh
[1:19:53]
ricky
[1:19:53]
movie so she
[1:19:54]
like it it's a
[1:19:56]
difference that
[1:19:56]
would not um
[1:19:57]
okay pass her
[1:19:59]
by her
[1:20:00]
character uh
[1:20:02]
but
[1:20:02]
it's
[1:20:04]
you know it's
[1:20:06]
the same sort
[1:20:06]
of like
[1:20:07]
a family gets
[1:20:08]
together and
[1:20:09]
then there's a
[1:20:09]
lot of music
[1:20:10]
sort of movie
[1:20:12]
that rachel
[1:20:12]
getting married
[1:20:13]
was oh
Elliott Kalan
[1:20:13]
yes you're
[1:20:14]
probably right
[1:20:14]
that i won't
[1:20:15]
like it um
[1:20:16]
but you never
Stuart Wellington
[1:20:16]
know yeah but
[1:20:17]
rachel getting
[1:20:18]
married had
[1:20:18]
ellie's ex
[1:20:19]
girlfriend so
[1:20:19]
you had some
[1:20:20]
extra baggage
[1:20:21]
right off the
[1:20:21]
bat i was not
[1:20:22]
into it and
[1:20:23]
also not my
[1:20:23]
ex-girlfriend
Elliott Kalan
[1:20:24]
it's a little
[1:20:25]
doesn't know i
Dan McCoy
[1:20:26]
exist it's a
[1:20:27]
little uh
[1:20:28]
self-indulgent
[1:20:28]
towards the end
[1:20:29]
with all the
[1:20:30]
um musical
[1:20:31]
numbers especially
[1:20:32]
because i don't
[1:20:33]
think that uh i
[1:20:35]
mean as good as
[1:20:36]
meryl streep
Elliott Kalan
[1:20:37]
self-indulgent
[1:20:37]
raves dan
[1:20:38]
mccoy
Dan McCoy
[1:20:39]
as good as
[1:20:40]
as good as
[1:20:41]
meryl streep
[1:20:41]
is in the uh
[1:20:43]
live musical
[1:20:44]
numbers uh
[1:20:45]
because they're
[1:20:46]
all they are
[1:20:46]
all done
[1:20:47]
like they're
[1:20:49]
all like
[1:20:50]
she's actually
[1:20:51]
doing it
[1:20:51]
performing
[1:20:52]
yeah as good
[1:20:53]
as she is
[1:20:53]
like she's not
[1:20:54]
necessarily as
[1:20:55]
good as you
[1:20:55]
would want her
[1:20:56]
to be
[1:20:56]
considering
[1:20:57]
she's a great
[1:20:58]
actress not a
[1:20:58]
rock star yeah
[1:20:59]
considering there's
[1:20:59]
like 50 musical
[1:21:00]
numbers in the
[1:21:01]
movie you'd be
[1:21:02]
like all right
[1:21:02]
that's enough of
[1:21:03]
this but she's
[1:21:04]
better than in
[1:21:04]
mamma mia right
[1:21:05]
she's definitely
[1:21:06]
better than
[1:21:06]
mamma mia what
Stuart Wellington
[1:21:07]
about into the
[1:21:07]
woods is she
[1:21:08]
better than
[1:21:09]
into the woods
[1:21:09]
she's better
[1:21:11]
than into the
[1:21:11]
woods okay
Elliott Kalan
[1:21:12]
is she better
[1:21:13]
than in
[1:21:14]
kramer versus
[1:21:15]
kramer where
Dan McCoy
[1:21:15]
she doesn't sing
[1:21:16]
no she's not
[1:21:17]
better than
[1:21:18]
kramer
[1:21:18]
okay
[1:21:19]
uh but it's
[1:21:21]
you know it's
[1:21:22]
got her and
[1:21:24]
kevin klein plays
[1:21:25]
her ex-husband
[1:21:26]
and i always
[1:21:26]
love seeing
[1:21:27]
kevin klein
[1:21:27]
basically any
[1:21:29]
fucking thing
[1:21:30]
mr fish odor
[1:21:31]
um so if
[1:21:33]
you were put
[1:21:34]

[1:21:35]
stupid fucking
[1:21:36]
name or as
[1:21:37]

[1:21:38]
terrible trailer
[1:21:39]
that's not a
[1:21:40]
bad name give
[1:21:41]
it and neither
[1:21:41]
of those things
[1:21:42]
give it a chance
Elliott Kalan
[1:21:42]
yeah if anything
[1:21:44]

[1:22:11]
invitation which
[1:22:13]
is a uh thriller
[1:22:15]
uh i can't
[1:22:17]
remember uh i
[1:22:18]
don't remember the
[1:22:19]
name of the
[1:22:19]

she's been around
[1:22:29]
and made a couple
[1:22:29]
of movies and
[1:22:30]
this is a fairly
[1:22:30]
small movie it's
[1:22:32]
a thriller it's
[1:22:33]
about a uh a
[1:22:35]
guy who is
[1:22:36]
invited to a
[1:22:37]

[1:22:44]
while and the
[1:22:45]
two of them uh
[1:22:47]
split up under
[1:22:48]
after some kind
[1:22:49]
of a trauma
[1:22:50]
and it is uh
[1:22:52]
really tense and
[1:22:54]
it's also i i
[1:22:55]
think in a lot of
[1:22:56]
ways very true to
[1:22:57]
life and it uh
[1:22:58]
it reflects the
[1:22:59]
way people kind of
[1:23:00]
get over uh
[1:23:01]
grief or like deal
[1:23:02]
with grief a little
[1:23:03]
bit um and it's a
[1:23:05]
great thriller so
[1:23:06]
check it out the
Elliott Kalan
[1:23:07]
invitation i'm
[1:23:08]
gonna recommend a
[1:23:10]
less new movie than
[1:23:11]
you guys recommended
[1:23:13]
which is no way
[1:23:14]
i'm usually pretty
[1:23:15]
cutting edge with my
[1:23:16]
recommendations you
[1:23:17]
usually recommend a
[1:23:18]
movie that comes
[1:23:19]
out in three years
[1:23:20]
yeah uh i'm gonna
[1:23:22]
recommend a movie
[1:23:23]
from the 70s called
[1:23:25]
uh china nine liberty
[1:23:28]
37 which i originally
[1:23:30]
recorded because the
[1:23:31]
title is crazy uh but
[1:23:34]
or it's a but it's a
[1:23:35]
spaghetti western the
[1:23:36]
italian title was
[1:23:37]
amore piamba i
[1:23:38]
fiori or something
[1:23:40]
like that uh which
[1:23:41]
is like love
[1:23:42]
something and
[1:23:42]
i don't know
[1:23:43]
perfect
[1:23:43]
it's a great
[1:23:44]
pronunciation uh
[1:23:45]
but i know it as
[1:23:46]
china nine liberty
[1:23:47]
37 it's a monty
[1:23:49]
hellman movie who
[1:23:50]
did you know like
[1:23:51]
two lane blacktop and
[1:23:52]
cockfighter and uh
[1:23:54]
it was just called
[1:23:55]
cockfight
[1:23:55]
cockfight i believe
[1:23:57]
and uh it stars war
[1:23:59]
notes who worked with
[1:24:00]
them a lot and the
[1:24:01]
italian actor fabio
[1:24:03]
testi and also jenny
[1:24:04]
agutter however it's
[1:24:05]
pronounced from uh
[1:24:06]
from uh walkabout
[1:24:08]
and she's on call the
[1:24:10]
midwife now
[1:24:11]
american war from london
[1:24:12]
yeah and it's the
[1:24:15]
story of a gunman who
[1:24:17]
is about to be hanged
[1:24:18]
and they say hey the
[1:24:19]
railroad wants this this
[1:24:21]
ex-gunman dead
[1:24:21]
they say hey hey
[1:24:23]
hey dude
Dan McCoy
[1:24:24]
it's kind of like that
[1:24:25]
salute your shorts
Elliott Kalan
[1:24:26]
the the railroad wants
[1:24:28]
this ex-gunfighter dead
[1:24:29]
if you kill him you're
[1:24:31]
off the hook we're not
[1:24:32]
gonna hang you uh but
[1:24:33]
he finds comes to like
[1:24:34]
the guy war notes who's
[1:24:36]
this ex-gunfighter who's
[1:24:37]
still a super tough guy
[1:24:38]
and unfortunately falls
[1:24:41]
for the gunfighter's
[1:24:42]
much younger wife and
[1:24:43]
it's like a spaghetti
[1:24:43]
western with a film noir
[1:24:45]
plot applied to it uh
[1:24:48]
and it's a movie that
[1:24:49]
i'm recommending partly
[1:24:50]
because i enjoyed it it's
[1:24:51]
not the most amazing
[1:24:52]
movie in the world but
[1:24:53]
it's a really good solid
[1:24:54]
spaghetti western and if
[1:24:56]
you wanted to see the
[1:24:57]
mother superior from uh
[1:24:59]
from call the midwife
[1:25:01]
nude she's nude in a
[1:25:02]
bunch of scenes in it
[1:25:03]
but uh the but it's
[1:25:05]
also a movie that has
[1:25:07]
never i think received a
[1:25:09]
home video release i
[1:25:11]
saw it because it was
[1:25:12]
on turner classic movies
[1:25:13]
and so it's one of those
[1:25:14]
movies i'm saying that
[1:25:15]
you should if you like
[1:25:16]
spaghetti westerns you're
[1:25:18]
not you might not see it
[1:25:19]
unless you're looking out
[1:25:20]
for it or you happen to
[1:25:21]
catch it it's got that
[1:25:22]
that catchy title yeah
[1:25:23]
but also the what is it
Dan McCoy
[1:25:26]
china 32 china 9 liberty
Elliott Kalan
[1:25:29]
37 which it turns out is
[1:25:30]
what two signs at the
[1:25:31]
beginning of the movie
[1:25:32]
oh it's not it's not
[1:25:33]
like a town called
[1:25:34]
not like a volleyball
[1:25:35]
score no well that's the
[1:25:36]
i was like i cannot
[1:25:37]
begin to understand what
[1:25:39]
this title means but uh
[1:25:41]
because it's i don't know
[1:25:43]
that it was ever fully
[1:25:44]
released on film uh it's
[1:25:48]
one of the few times
[1:25:48]
where i'm going to say
[1:25:49]
like you should download
[1:25:51]
this movie if you want to
[1:25:52]
see it because you
[1:25:54]
shouldn't i don't like
[1:25:54]
people who download
[1:25:55]
movies for free when
[1:25:56]
they could pay to see
[1:25:56]
them but if the owners
[1:25:58]
of the rights are
[1:25:59]
seemingly going out of
[1:26:01]
their way not to make
[1:26:01]
it available readily
[1:26:02]
then like go for it
[1:26:04]
and it's one of the few
[1:26:05]
times that i'll say that
[1:26:06]
about a movie so it's
[1:26:06]
almost partly for the
[1:26:08]
novelty of that that i'm
[1:26:09]
saying go see it but i
[1:26:10]
enjoyed it china 9 liberty
[1:26:11]
37 a title that sounds
[1:26:14]
crazy and dan is taking
[1:26:17]
pictures of stewart holding
[1:26:18]
archie archie's a cat not
[1:26:21]
a human
[1:26:21]
no art yet i'm not archie
[1:26:23]
andrews
Dan McCoy
[1:26:23]
it's adorable uh but as
[1:26:29]
you know no matter how
[1:26:30]
adorable it is all good
[1:26:31]
things need to come to an
[1:26:32]
end as seasons change so
[1:26:34]
does the podcast seasons
[1:26:35]
change with the scenery
[1:26:37]
weaving time in a tapestry
[1:26:39]
yeah hazy shade of winter
[1:26:41]
why don't you stop and
[1:26:42]
remember us two dogs a baby
Elliott Kalan
[1:26:45]
dog comes out uh and that
[1:26:48]
dog will one day have sex
[1:26:49]
with another dog and so
[1:26:50]
forth and so on
Stuart Wellington
[1:26:51]
returning to the earth like
[1:26:53]
so much dead dog
Elliott Kalan
[1:26:55]
really stop being a metaphor
[1:26:58]
at the end
Dan McCoy
[1:26:58]
okay well thank you for that
