The Flop House: Episode #78 - Gooby

[0:00] In this episode, we discuss the terrifying tale of one boy's descent into madness.

[0:05] We talk about Gooby.

[0:31] Hey everyone, and welcome to the Flophouse.

[0:37] I'm Dan McCoy.

[0:38] Hey, I'm Stuart Wellington.

[0:40] And I'm Andy Rocco.

[0:42] Yeah, uh, Elliot is out this week.

[0:45] He, as always, he did...

[0:46] Pulled a hammy.

[0:47] Yeah, sure.

[0:49] I was gonna say...

[0:50] That's a sports term, I think.

[0:51] Sure.

[0:52] He's in, uh, France, right?

[0:53] No, no, no, he was in France before.

[0:55] He came back.

[0:56] This time, he pulled one of his classic Elliot's, which was to not tell us exactly why he wasn't available.

[1:02] Just to say he was busy.

[1:04] Mysterious.

[1:05] Yeah.

[1:06] Secret Daily Show business, I'm sure.

[1:08] Yeah.

[1:09] Probably spying on, uh...

[1:11] The Colbert Report.

[1:12] Okay.

[1:13] Probably going in undercover.

[1:14] Principal competition?

[1:15] Yeah.

[1:16] That's...

[1:17] They spy on the Colbert Report to use their material in the Daily Show.

[1:21] Yeah.

[1:22] It's weird.

[1:24] Yeah.

[1:25] It's kind of a synergy between them.

[1:28] Like, uh, like Sister Sister?

[1:31] Nickelodeon program?

[1:32] And That's So Raven?

[1:34] Yeah.

[1:35] Shows about sisters.

[1:36] Oh, okay.

[1:37] So, Andy.

[1:38] Yes, sir.

[1:39] Tell us a little bit about yourself.

[1:41] Uh, my name's Andy Rocco.

[1:43] I'm a big fan of the show, first of all.

[1:45] Thank you.

[1:46] First and foremost.

[1:47] So...

[1:48] So, this must be a dream come true.

[1:50] I've said that so many times.

[1:51] Yeah.

[1:52] Like, you feel like you're in a dreamscaper.

[1:54] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1:55] Or a nightmare.

[1:56] Yeah.

[1:57] Um...

[1:58] A frightmare?

[1:59] Yeah.

[2:00] Definitely a frightmare.

[2:02] Um, and, uh, I have a show at the UCB.

[2:05] I do it.

[2:06] That's the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater here in New York City.

[2:09] The original.

[2:10] Yes.

[2:11] Not the Los Angeles one.

[2:12] Right.

[2:13] Don't confuse it with DLA.

[2:15] I have a show that I do the first Saturday of the month called Underground Americana.

[2:20] It's a variety show of sorts.

[2:22] I have guests that are musical and, uh, comedians and sketch and stuff like that.

[2:28] And I like to eat.

[2:31] Okay.

[2:32] And, uh...

[2:33] That's probably why we invited you.

[2:34] Yeah.

[2:35] This is a culinary podcast, first and foremost.

[2:37] Yeah, I have to say, according to the, your logo banner,

[2:40] there's this implied that there's going to be cheese doodles here,

[2:43] but there's no cheese doodles here.

[2:45] Look, I provided corn chips.

[2:47] No, I know.

[2:48] I'm happy to get corn chips, but I had this impression of cheese doodles.

[2:52] He was starving himself all week, not eating any cheese doodles.

[2:56] Yeah.

[2:57] He's going to get his entire dairy and doodle intake tonight.

[3:02] I apologize for that.

[3:03] No, that's okay.

[3:04] Where's the doodle on the food pyramid, Stuart?

[3:06] It's right in the bottom.

[3:08] Really?

[3:09] It's the foundation.

[3:10] So you've got to get a lot of doodles.

[3:11] You've got to get a lot of puffed cheese.

[3:13] Yeah.

[3:14] All right.

[3:15] This makes up a balanced breakfast.

[3:18] Yeah.

[3:19] Maybe.

[3:20] Well, if you enjoy comedy and staying up late,

[3:23] you should certainly go see Andy's show.

[3:25] Yes.

[3:26] Which I've only seen the one time when I actually appeared on it

[3:29] along with the other Flophousers.

[3:31] Yeah.

[3:32] I'm an old man.

[3:33] Yes.

[3:34] Flophouse super fans, check back through the archives,

[3:36] and there was actual video footage of it, yeah?

[3:39] Yeah.

[3:40] Right?

[3:41] And I was doing a really, you guys were really funny,

[3:44] and I remember doing a really bad interviewing job.

[3:47] But, yeah, I loved having you guys on.

[3:51] We should have you on again.

[3:53] Yeah.

[3:54] I'd stay up for that.

[3:55] Yeah.

[3:56] Right in.

[3:57] I'll take a night off of work.

[3:58] You probably won't.

[3:59] I probably won't take a night off work.

[4:01] You need the money.

[4:02] Maybe we could do like a thing where we use a webcam.

[4:06] Like a remote?

[4:07] Yeah, a remote webcam.

[4:08] From your job?

[4:09] Right.

[4:10] We could do a big, like, cardboard cutout of you that we drag on.

[4:15] You've got to do your job, though.

[4:17] I mean, those glory holes need to be filled.

[4:19] Yeah, absolutely.

[4:20] That's my job of a glory hole, I don't know, operator is the term?

[4:26] An operator?

[4:28] So speaking of glory holes, we watched a kids movie today.

[4:32] We did watch it.

[4:33] So we're doing our social duty of letting parents know what kids movies,

[4:40] Yeah, we've talked about doing this movie for a while, and we haven't.

[4:44] You have, pretty much.

[4:46] We haven't watched it up until now, with good reason.

[4:49] Elliot and Stuart were against it.

[4:51] Well, it was released in, I think, 2008, maybe even 2007.

[4:56] 2007.

[4:57] Okay, wow.

[4:58] It's okay, it's more recent than I thought.

[5:00] We usually do movies that are fairly new to either DVD or premium cable.

[5:07] Just to, like, have, like, a veneer of currency to what we do.

[5:11] You know, like, give us a reason to exist.

[5:14] Because a lot of the movies we review, honestly, are forgotten about fairly quickly.

[5:20] This movie, that's the other reason why it's odd that we did this movie,

[5:24] because this movie was not forgotten about because no one knew about it.

[5:28] It was never a thing.

[5:29] Yeah, forgotten about implies that someone remembered it,

[5:32] and then there were only five reviews for it on Rotten Tomatoes.

[5:35] Yeah.

[5:36] But Gooby was a minor internet sensation based on the trailer.

[5:41] Yes.

[5:42] I don't know if I'm allowed to tell you, but you said,

[5:47] would you like to see some of this?

[5:49] And I was like, ooh, Gooby, because that looks horribly bad and funny.

[5:53] Yeah.

[5:54] And that's why I said I would like to see Gooby.

[5:57] And then you're like, okay, Gooby it is.

[5:59] And sure enough, I got to see it.

[6:02] And boy, did I get more than I bargained for.

[6:05] Yes.

[6:06] That's called a mistake.

[6:08] A mistake to say yes to that.

[6:11] We'll make them.

[6:12] I thought it was going to be, well, I mean,

[6:14] when you're going to be the guest host of the show, if you're going to sub in.

[6:18] Sure, it's tough.

[6:19] Yeah, it's tough, because I'm not going to be able to live up to Elliot at all.

[6:23] Well, that's the thing.

[6:25] You can't be Elliot.

[6:26] Right.

[6:27] So I was like, you know what I'm going to do?

[6:28] I'm going to make this great by getting a really great, crap, bad, great movie.

[6:34] And I thought Gooby, that was like always betting on black.

[6:37] Sure.

[6:38] Yep.

[6:39] Always bet on Gooby.

[6:40] Yep.

[6:41] That's the star you're going to ride into the cosmos.

[6:44] I mean, I think your problem, first of all,

[6:46] is that you were taking advice from Wesley Snipes when you were making your selection.

[6:51] He's had some tax problems from what I hear.

[6:53] Yeah, you shouldn't listen to that guy.

[6:55] Not right now.

[6:56] Yeah.

[6:57] But Gooby, it's a movie about a large bear.

[7:01] Or a man in a large bear suit.

[7:04] What's a bear, Dan?

[7:06] Well, it's a gay man.

[7:09] Okay.

[7:10] A larger gay man.

[7:11] Sure.

[7:12] Often hairy.

[7:13] Okay.

[7:14] And they're liked by a certain subset of the gay community for their fatherly characteristics.

[7:18] Okay.

[7:19] So what was going on with this bear, you say, and little boy?

[7:24] In this case, the bear was actually a teddy bear.

[7:27] Okay.

[7:28] Forget everything else that I said.

[7:29] Voiced by Robbie Coltrane from Fame of Harry Potter.

[7:34] Yeah, you may know him as...

[7:35] Hey, hey, cat.

[7:36] He played Harry Potter in the Harry Potter movies.

[7:39] That's a little podcast bonus for you.

[7:42] Me yelling at my cat.

[7:44] Everyone will enjoy that.

[7:45] I don't think I ever heard you yell at your cat.

[7:48] Normally she doesn't claw at the furniture in the middle of our podcast.

[7:52] She, you know, has a little sense of decorum normally.

[7:55] Not tonight.

[7:57] Yeah, no, Robbie Coltrane.

[7:59] You'll be awakened, the beast within.

[8:01] You may know Robbie Coltrane from Hagrid in Harry Potter.

[8:04] Yeah.

[8:05] You may be familiar with him from the BBC series Cracker.

[8:08] And the movie The Pope Must Die It.

[8:11] Sure.

[8:12] Or The Pope Must Die.

[8:13] The film Nuns on the Run, where you might remember him in particular from the scene where he sits in the shower room

[8:20] while all the young aspiring nuns are showering around him.

[8:25] Yeah, he's just ogling them.

[8:27] It's kind of creepy.

[8:29] So that's Robbie Coltrane for you.

[8:31] He's the kind of guy who spies on nun students.

[8:34] He has an appearance in Black Adder, which I always thought was funny.

[8:38] Black Adder nut.

[8:40] He's a talented, he's a good actor, and I have no idea why he decided to do the voice for Gooby.

[8:48] I'm guessing it was money related.

[8:51] Yeah.

[8:52] I think that if you're like a, you know, if you're a...

[8:55] Or maybe the script called to him.

[8:57] Sure.

[8:58] If you're a good actor, like, sometimes you do these, like, movies assuming that no one's going to see them.

[9:04] And rightfully so in this case.

[9:06] Like, there's a certain threshold where it can't do any damage to your career.

[9:10] Yeah.

[9:11] Maybe the director disguised himself as a paparazzo and followed him around

[9:16] and, like, recorded things he said and spliced it together to make it into Gooby's dialogue.

[9:21] Sure.

[9:22] Wow.

[9:23] He's also been working for so long.

[9:25] I guess just all these projects just kind of meld together at some point where he's just like, I don't know.

[9:30] Aside for him, there was Eugene Levy's in it, and I like Eugene Levy most of the time.

[9:36] Yeah.

[9:37] About, like...

[9:38] SCTV.

[9:39] But I just...

[9:41] I have, like, a thing where I don't...

[9:42] American Pie.

[9:44] I feel always reluctant to shit on, like, anything that somebody was in, like,

[9:49] because it's, like, so hard to make a movie or any kind of art.

[9:52] Well, you're at the right podcast.

[9:55] But, like...

[9:57] The Respect House.

[9:59] We're just here to give a...

[10:00] respect to people's effort no no but at the same time

[10:03] like uh...

[10:05] like i feel like you jim levy has done enough good work i think in crap on this

[10:09] yes this was pretty

[10:12] not one was at his fault i mean i think we all look at this movie and uh... but

[10:16] there's a recognized that you jim levy

[10:18] is not the problem

[10:20] yet even with the usual of the scenes like

[10:23] you know when you see what he has been given gold to work with the right he

[10:27] spun into a crap

[10:29] uh... i have to admit though he uh... stewart pointed out

[10:32] during the movie he has

[10:34] the best name in the movie which is he's a teacher and his name is

[10:37] mister nerdlinger

[10:38] and like i feel like how can you go wrong with a name like that that's so

[10:43] implied

[10:45] so he's a nerd

[10:47] let's back up let's uh... go through this

[10:50] uh... i guess i'll try i'll try to take elliot's place

[10:53] you wanna

[10:54] since he's not here i guess you want to be the summary the summary i could try

[10:58] well you know what i mean he tried to give it a shot on that

[11:02] movie is a movie about a young boy who moves into a new town

[11:07] and he doesn't really have friends

[11:09] or and he's being picked on by a bully okay and he's uh...

[11:13] an irish-looking chap

[11:14] yes he's also scared of imaginary monsters uh... called i think

[11:18] he calls them hooties hooties or honeys

[11:21] sort of something like that

[11:22] at one point he said homies and i thought

[11:25] that sounded like the figurines

[11:29] i don't know uh...

[11:31] so he

[11:32] has no friends he's being bullied a little bit

[11:34] uh... his parents are kind of light bullying

[11:37] yeah very light you only really see one scene and he doesn't actually get

[11:40] bullied

[11:41] like there's just like a kid bullied somebody else in the other kids like

[11:45] we don't want to get bullied by that guy

[11:47] yeah

[11:49] followed by that uh... his parents are just not there a lot

[11:54] and they hired a english nanny

[11:56] who is

[11:57] incredibly creepy

[11:59] yeah well also not really that connected they don't they don't form like a very

[12:03] good nanny

[12:04] uh...

[12:05] person who's being nannied uh... relationship yeah there's no bond there

[12:10] so his mother like a mrs. doubtfire sort of thing

[12:13] that's what that movie's about right

[12:14] i think you missed a key

[12:16] uh... twist in that film

[12:18] okay so the british nanny does form a good bond

[12:23] the nanny in that movie was robin williams in drag he was doing it to spend more time

[12:27] with his children wait like nathan lane or something

[12:31] well i mean i guess like nathan lane

[12:35] like nathan lane could have played that character though

[12:38] that's what i'm saying nathan lane can play anything stewart

[12:41] well i think that when they make mrs. doubtfire 2 or 3 or wherever they're at

[12:45] they should probably try nathan lane for that role okay i think the harvey

[12:48] firestein should try for that role

[12:50] i think that's a little too

[12:52] it's a little too on the nose

[12:55] uh...

[12:56] so at one point i don't really exactly remember how it was phrased but his mom

[13:01] was like

[13:02] you don't need a friend uh... here use

[13:05] gooby you remember gooby your teddy bear

[13:08] and

[13:09] and he's like i don't want that teddy bear that teddy bear's for babies

[13:14] and then uh... this is all before they move to the new place

[13:20] during the time that they moved to the new place the bear was left at the old

[13:24] place

[13:25] he kind of transforms into a i guess like electricity shoots all over yeah

[13:29] there's no explanation for how he transforms we just cut back to the old

[13:33] place

[13:33] gooby in the corner we see animated electric effects go over him

[13:39] like attack of the killer tomatoes or something or the movie shocker

[13:42] sure or the movie shocker

[13:45] and it's not only gooby's in the television

[13:47] what a movie

[13:50] no gooby does not go on the television

[13:52] he comes alive and he's like a i guess five foot six foot tall no he's not that

[13:57] tall he's only like a foot taller than the kid right

[14:00] he's not that tall but he's

[14:02] oddly proportioned yes like he's got a great big chubby body and a tiny head

[14:06] he looks roughly kind of like

[14:09] fozzie bear and

[14:11] sullivan from or sully from monsters inc

[14:14] sure and your worst nightmare and yes it not take all the cuteness of

[14:19] fozzie bear and

[14:21] sullivan or sully from monsters inc and make it as creepy as possible

[14:26] imagine if they took one of the country bears and left them in the garbage

[14:31] like a garbage dump for a few years and then they got him out and like the

[14:35] animatronics don't really work that well and the face doesn't move that much but

[14:39] they're like

[14:40] it's ok let's use it

[14:42] and hijinks ensue when he's come to life and is now in uh... willie who was the

[14:47] boy

[14:48] his life and is invading his life and such and

[14:51] the movie actually is kind of very convoluted and confusing after the

[14:55] points when willie comes alive

[14:58] there's a lot of you mean

[14:59] gooby

[14:59] because willie's been alive the whole mid-time i'm sorry

[15:03] no you missed a spot

[15:06] willie was a zombie steward

[15:09] it was like the sixth sense and then after getting the amulet he becomes a real boy again

[15:13] it was very uh... it was based on there's a lot of uh... vignettes

[15:20] it wasn't like a

[15:23] there's a strong plot thrust so there's a lot of uh...

[15:26] hiding gooby from the

[15:28] the nanny

[15:30] and there's a lot of like gooby comes to school and uh... causes some

[15:35] distraction outside the window and eugene levy gets mad

[15:39] and uh... gooby goes to the store

[15:42] yeah well before we touch on that there's a lot of scenes where there's like

[15:45] a montage of the little boy and gooby hanging out while like

[15:49] a love ballad plays in the background

[15:51] that seems strangely out of place for like a friendship scene

[15:56] whoever the director of this movie

[15:59] uh... the director of this movie uh... i forgot his name but his last name is

[16:02] wilson coney bear

[16:05] his actual name

[16:07] uh... but

[16:09] he uh...

[16:11] yeah he doesn't seem to understand music cues like they are all music cues

[16:16] from like say

[16:18] a late

[16:18] eighties

[16:19] romantic comedy

[16:21] you know when there's a scene

[16:22] like if there's a scene where they're not mickey mouson

[16:26] yeah like there's a lot of uh... score things where like gooby's like walking

[16:30] around like

[16:33] like sort of like score but then like uh... yeah if there's a pop song

[16:37] it seems like they're the message is really that

[16:39] there's some sort of love relationship between these two

[16:43] i miss the smell of your fur on my face

[16:46] that's my best singing voice by the way so if uh...

[16:50] if

[16:51] carson daly's out there listening i am available as we all know that carson

[16:56] daly just loves to book people for musical contracts you can reach me at

[17:00] steward wellington at the flop house house cat dot internet

[17:06] so that's my flop house house cat fan site that i operate

[17:11] yeah but okay just to speed it up to give you like uh...

[17:14] just uh... really rough outline

[17:17] so uh... gooby

[17:19] helps this kid make new friends

[17:23] at his new school

[17:24] but then that backfires on guby because now the kid doesn't have as much time

[17:28] for guby

[17:29] so guby goes away for a while and they're strange and love ballads play

[17:34] and then guby just comes back there's no

[17:36] real like

[17:37] like all i gotta get guby back guby just shows up back again and everything's

[17:41] fine this movie had like no consequences to any of the actions that happened to

[17:46] it throughout the movie yeah

[17:48] nothing like there's a point where you're like oh my god no one's supposed

[17:50] to see guby

[17:52] and there's times where tons of people have seen guby

[17:55] and nobody really cares yeah or is it like talked about brains don't melt from

[17:59] seeing a giant walking teddy bear yeah well basically it's either like

[18:03] you know eugene levy is the ineffectual guy seeing guby and like no one's gonna

[18:07] believe him like he's basically playing his role from splash i pointed out

[18:11] you know it was like

[18:12] i'm gonna prove there's a mermaid you know it's the same thing here

[18:15] or it's the equivalent of you know like one of those movies where

[18:18] someone sees something crazy

[18:20] and then they rub their eyes and then they throw away the bottle of booze that

[18:24] they've been drinking and then that's all there's a scene where guby has some

[18:28] hijinks because he thought the father in the movie

[18:31] is an architect of some sort and they go to a construction site

[18:34] and somehow guby gets hooked onto the

[18:37] the big mechanical crane

[18:38] and is hanging there and the crane operator

[18:41] who steward says looks stoned yeah he does he looks very drunk or high

[18:46] makes perfect sense when you're operating such a heavy dangerous piece

[18:49] of equipment and guby is just like

[18:53] hey

[18:54] and the crane operators just like

[18:57] hey this is a good way to end a scene

[19:00] and then the scene ends and we don't see how that resolves at all

[19:05] but uh... but anyway to tie it up into a bow

[19:08] uh... guby

[19:10] returns he's like stop trying to wrangle us dan

[19:13] no i just want to get through the synopsis and then we can go back and pick it

[19:16] apart a little bit more and then talk about something completely different

[19:19] other than this movie

[19:20] but uh... ducktales for instance

[19:23] i can't wait to get into the ducktales portion of the show

[19:26] don't worry about it we'll get there later ok dan so what were you saying about

[19:29] once guby comes back he's like i think that my job here is to take you back to

[19:33] where your dad used to live

[19:36] i don't know where he gets this idea

[19:38] the weird thing is the way you just said it

[19:41] is pretty much how it's said in the movie

[19:44] i think i finally figured out what i'm here to do

[19:51] so he takes him back to this old like abandoned building basically

[19:54] and the kid falls through the floor

[19:57] and is dangling off of a pipe

[19:59] and uh...

[20:00] uh... that comes to rescue and we'll get into the details of how because that's

[20:03] crazy

[20:04] but uh...

[20:05] then they're all back together again and uh... the dad is reading himself mary

[20:09] poppins style

[20:10] and you know it's all go fly kite and they meet you'll be

[20:13] and the mom needs to be and seems like i guess to be down a little bit them but

[20:17] then later in the henderson's

[20:19] it's not that uh... dubious given away like and another needy little girl

[20:23] theater movie

[20:25] and a lot about place for the critics

[20:27] which is a great

[20:29] in a weird way i don't think that little girl really needed a

[20:32] friend she didn't look like on a happy fine

[20:35] because it is a decision board to submit a book and that there are a couple of

[20:39] others do you have a look at it

[20:41] there are a lot more you are there are like uh...

[20:43] you know i got home

[20:44] home depot sort of how many relationships and

[20:47] gruby invaded just like

[20:50] you look like you need a friend i'm just kind of bored i'm waiting around

[20:53] now now you need me i need to i need to be in your life don't understand

[20:57] need aggressively interpolate myself into your life and call the giant bear

[21:02] i hope you have plenty of uh... marshmallow cookies for me that all

[21:06] yes that is uh... he made baskets that is uh... cookie sandwiches as movies

[21:11] uh... achilles heel in the movie so i can't resist marshmallow cookies i think

[21:15] that

[21:16] or malamars

[21:17] there's another yes

[21:19] but there's another absurd things in this movie that i kinda wanna go like a

[21:23] little more structured than normal and just be like

[21:25] like ask each of you which of your what was your like

[21:28] favorite like absurdity in the film like that's what you want to do is that what

[21:31] we are doing

[21:32] uh... that's what i'd like to do and then i'm sure that is not going to

[21:36] happen okay so stewart

[21:39] uh... my favorite

[21:41] thing about the movie like what

[21:43] uh... i'd probably say uh... a loved the fact that when do these

[21:49] uh... we're not going to be said to me doesn't have a daddy's affair

[21:52] uh... when willie's dad comes to rescue him

[21:55] uh... he you know before he gets there he had gotten a phone call that his son

[21:59] was in this abandoned building yeah and you know we of course you wrote the

[22:02] directions down on the page of some like nice full-color photo book

[22:06] that he has a little bit of a jet which is really weird

[22:09] and then he gets the hair

[22:11] uh... finds his son

[22:13] the and he's trying to save his son and then the police show up and then you

[22:16] know he yells at the police and uh... i guess let him just say the sun it's

[22:20] really weird

[22:21] and it all turns out that uh... do we use the one who flew phone call which

[22:26] from what i didn't know that you we could manipulate uh... cell phone

[22:29] because he's got a giant fucking pause yes i have all

[22:33] he doesn't have a phone on and you said that willie had a phone on and so we

[22:37] borrowed it

[22:37] now i do that like to use the force like and i think that i think that i was

[22:42] part of the and if you have that ability what need to say

[22:45] the located what you're going to go over it even like crazier absurdity in this

[22:48] film which is like

[22:50] they go to this abandoned building

[22:52] uh... the willie falls to the floor makes sense of uh... he's dangling from

[22:56] a pipe from the ceiling

[22:58] okay we doesn't know what to do

[23:00] then we cut to the home

[23:02] and the dad gets a phone call is like

[23:05] i'll be there right away and like you see him like pulling up outside the car

[23:09] he comes in and the kid is is still dangling from this pipe so basically

[23:13] the kid has fallen he's dangling from this pipe gooby makes a phone call

[23:17] his dad drives up to this house

[23:19] yeah and this this kid has been dangling from this pipe this entire time

[23:24] while the phone call was made while the drive was made you would have liked there to be

[23:27] like a scene of the willie character being really awesome and doing like chin-ups or something

[23:33] the other weird thing i mean he would have done like on the flexed arm hang

[23:36] in in in school he would have been like presidential level for sure

[23:40] yeah absolutely

[23:42] uh... the other weird thing too about that movie is that two cops drive by in that scene

[23:46] and they're just kind of sitting out there waiting

[23:49] i don't know what for and they're like something's they're like oh something's suspicious

[23:53] like they hear something well it's on their beat right yeah the old abandoned house is on their beat

[23:58] well you gotta go check that shit out you don't want squatters or but they don't but the thing is they don't

[24:02] actually go into the building until the dad goes into the building

[24:06] and then they were like

[24:08] and then like the dad's like i thought you guys called me to come and save my son

[24:14] and then the cops are like we didn't know you were coming we didn't call

[24:19] and then they leave and then they're like case closed and give each other a high five

[24:26] well let's just let this guy wander around the abandoned building a little more

[24:30] with his terrified child

[24:32] but he leaves the kid and the dad wanders off by himself to find his old apartment and runs into gooby

[24:37] and that's where they have their you know to find his old room okay here's another thing

[24:41] he runs into gooby like gooby was like lurking in his dad's old like private room like the secret place that his dad would go to

[24:50] and that room apparently has not been changed everything else in the building is you know like decrepit

[24:55] everything's been taken out

[24:56] also gooby knows where it is

[24:58] but his dad's old like crayon drawings are still on the wall in the secret space

[25:03] he has a view master

[25:06] this is unchanged by time

[25:10] also there's like there's no payoff for it but at one point like then like this is the first time gooby actually talks to the dad

[25:18] and gooby's like I you

[25:20] it's like it's like Hamlet's dad's ghost in a conversation right

[25:24] I definitely associate that

[25:27] there's a point where gooby's like here I I want you to have these these are your old plans for like a tree house I think or a clubhouse that you're supposed to like build for your son

[25:37] that you drew when you're obviously little that's here and it's just like there's a thing where the father's like it's like no way are these gonna be safe

[25:47] first of all there's a dragon holding this up

[25:51] unless because there's talking talking teddy bears I guess there could be dragons I don't know and they keep referring to him as a monster

[25:59] granted he's pretty horrible looking but I would assume he's a bear or an actual normal creature

[26:04] well he's supposed to

[26:05] a normal creature sorry I'm getting so loud

[26:06] yeah

[26:07] I'm getting feisty tonight

[26:08] yeah

[26:08] well it's a crazy movie

[26:10] but like he's not really a monster I would admit like he's got a scarf on and he's gross but he he's basically like a bear right

[26:19] well let me I mean let me chime in with one of my crazy moments and this is you know this is not the craziest but I want to leave something for Andy

[26:28] you know I don't want to I don't want to eat up every crazy moment on the plate

[26:31] but like a crazy moment hog that you are just like oh I'm crazy moment delicious they're like marshmallow cookies to goobie

[26:42] thanks for telling me that's something I can relate to but the audience can't because they have no idea what the fuck we're talking about

[26:50] because no one's seen Goobie

[26:51] and shouldn't probably

[26:53] but here's a you talk about how he's not scary but I want to talk about one one moment in the film

[26:59] so they go to like on Halloween you know like the dad's too busy to take the kid out to do trick-or-treating I guess except for they don't go trick-or-treating

[27:10] but anyway we'll get to that in a second but the kid has a brainstorm like oh now's the time I can take Goobie out because everyone's just going to assume that he's a guy in a bear costume

[27:18] which honestly if he looks enough like a guy in a bear costume for them to assume that on Halloween they would assume that at any time

[27:25] you know like Goobie is not like such an anthropomorphized like realistic bear that everyone's going to be like holy shit there's a talking bear walking around

[27:34] yes they're just going to figure out like oh this is look at this fucking plushie over here but anyway

[27:39] sure so he takes somebody who gets some kind of sexual gratification from Percy

[27:44] exactly thanks but uh so on Halloween instead of going trick-or-treating actually they get dressed up in costumes and apparently every kid gets dressed up in costume

[27:53] and goes to see a movie down at the multiplex sure and saw three didn't we watch that I'd like to note that there's a point where Goobie Goobie was like

[28:04] what do you want to see he's talking to the other kids he's like what do you guys want to see big adventure and he points to a movie poster of a family friendly movie

[28:12] and then the kids are like no way and I'm not joking I forgot the title of the movie but they're like no way we want to see action death 2000

[28:21] it's Jeff action I believe it's two it's actually the sequel and there's a sequence where you see them watching the movie and it's all screaming chainsaws and gunshots

[28:32] and like squealing tires which frankly I kind of want to see I want to see sound effects real 2000 but all right but that's after Goobie has pretended to be his father so they can buy tickets and then later on he said he confesses that he really liked pretending to be his father and then there's another like cue another love ballad

[28:54] well you'll be seen in the movie here I was like being your dad you're talking like I say that to all my fucking friends no but I wanted to get back to like the moment I was really wanting to talk about was when the bully that we talked about before actually finally

[29:08] threatens the kid and uh this this kid is ret this big redheaded kid in a hot dog costume comes over

[29:16] to menace Willie and uh and Goobie um all of a sudden you know breaks out the like the fucking fangs like he like growls at the kid and all of a sudden it's like this large marge moment in the movie

[29:32] Goobie actually looks genuinely terrifying for a second and then the hot dog pees his pants the hot dog the bully in the hot dog outfit pees his pants

[29:43] yeah so do you feel that they like he escalated it too much or is it like is it any worse than the scene in little monsters where Howie Long

[29:54] popular comedian Howie Long

[29:58] Howie Long and Terry Hatcher

[30:00] uh... yeah

[30:01] uh... later in the movie

[30:02] when he said what he did when he peed in that gets out of it

[30:06] like i think that's way worse than that just scared the shit out of some kid

[30:09] with your

[30:10] christians of his head out there that's okay thank you

[30:13] i would like to see you

[30:14] i was a biological waste i if i find it more pleasant the piss-drinking but in

[30:20] terms of actually

[30:22] but an alarming moment

[30:23] but do be actually looks kind of alarming in the first place

[30:26] so for that mass to be pulled back

[30:29] shipment

[30:30] and that she's like really go for to be terrifying disturb me

[30:34] there is a point where i think the scary face that he does

[30:37] looks like it's a little cgi

[30:40] you're not wrong

[30:41] yeah i i i think there's a point where the director had to be fighting this at

[30:44] one place like

[30:45] now i want all practical

[30:46] i want all to be all these practical barefacts but it is like no come on it

[30:50] needs to be a scary phase was do a little cgi's like

[30:53] all right so i'll do it so you're not going to be the real weight of the bear

[30:57] that they had originally likes place in footage of just like a grizzly bear

[31:02] growling that that that that that uh... if you want to go for if you're in the

[31:07] mood for i mean

[31:09] i don't know my recommendation is on the same it obviously

[31:12] but there is a there is a lawyers but uh... there is a thought of like if

[31:16] you're into like movies that look really bad of like just like

[31:20] the mouth sink sinking uh... to the dialogue that will be actually says

[31:26] isn't atrocious there's times as mouth does not move at all right in the movie

[31:30] and that is just like classic nineteen seventies in eighties like

[31:35] and isn't that is there's dialogue is mixed so low that i

[31:38] because it was a and he's english so it's all a lot of the report will be

[31:42] dropped

[31:44] the ship

[31:44] it

[31:47] what's all this and i hope all of us like daniel grant that's my uh...

[31:51] favorite impression is uh...

[31:53] this is my impression of uh...

[31:55] any cop

[31:56] approaching a Sherlock holmes death scene in the beginning of the story

[32:00] well it's all just a little bit

[32:04] so that i could have been to be

[32:05] yeah sorry robbie coltrane

[32:09] so uh... and there's a great great scene in the uh... the supermarket where

[32:14] twenty minutes in our you know it was a great like running around and yeah

[32:18] there's there's

[32:19] i'd i'd like to get to that scene in any kind of barbaric cartoon where people

[32:23] are running in and out of doors in a hallway sure walled pop song plays

[32:27] because there was a pop song playing

[32:29] like not a pop song that i had recognized first of all i would like to

[32:32] just defied that pop song implies popular and then uh... like we would

[32:39] recognize what the song it is yeah this song with every song there is a lot of

[32:44] original songs in this movie

[32:46] and all of our

[32:47] pretty grating on and there's not original in the sense that they're

[32:51] unique

[32:53] there is a little bit of a shock

[32:55] and just like in any other barbaric cartoon day

[32:58] you know in the middle of the sequence there is a moment where they do you know

[33:01] they

[33:02] pause the music

[33:03] yeah and uh... in this case do we sees a uh... stand-up of a bear

[33:09] that's advertising i guess gummy bears yeah and there's something that he

[33:13] mentions that because it like looks like him

[33:16] uh... and then he goes over and starts eating the gummy bears which is really strange

[33:20] yeah that's what you do when you see something like it

[33:21] if you were in a store and you're like oh look there's these gummy stewards over

[33:25] here sure you are then immediately compelled to just shove those into your

[33:29] mouth you're like i bet this is more delicious to me

[33:31] because it looks like me

[33:33] yeah you know i don't find it disturbing

[33:36] to eat something that's an effigy of myself even if they weren't gummies

[33:40] you know like even if they were i don't know like little meat sacks right little

[33:44] clones of you

[33:45] that's basically like little homunculi little stewart fetuses

[33:50] well they kinda look like a fetus

[33:54] with a little mustache on them

[33:56] i mean fry it up

[33:59] well i don't know where you're gonna get a frying pan at that part of the uh...

[34:02] grocery store but

[34:03] maybe in the deli section?

[34:06] you can buy it in that situation

[34:09] stir fry stew

[34:10] yeah exactly like a little

[34:13] so what we're trying to say is that

[34:14] uh...

[34:15] you're wait you're crazy for thinking that or i'm crazy i don't know

[34:20] uh... the weird thing also about that grocery store segment

[34:23] which is not even my craziest moment

[34:25] uh... of the movie but

[34:27] is that gooby goes to the grocery store without willy knowing

[34:31] and willy approaches him and is like

[34:33] what are you doing in the grocery store

[34:35] you're not supposed to be here

[34:37] what are you doing you can't just eat things off the rack

[34:42] he was more mad that he was eating things off the rack

[34:45] and that he just escaped without

[34:49] countless people must have seen him come to the grocery store yeah like it's not like the grocery

[34:53] store there's like a back door that goes immediately to the woods

[34:56] yeah like you're imagining the non the nightly news they're like a strange bear thing

[35:00] that wanders down main street

[35:02] well then imagine ten minutes of them running back and forth like from

[35:06] eugene levy on one side and then elderly stock boy on the other side like

[35:10] oh no someone's gonna see gooby more than the

[35:13] couple seconds that they've already seen gooby the other thing i didn't like is zany

[35:17] running around

[35:19] the other thing i didn't like about the store scene is that there's a point where

[35:21] there is a cart

[35:22] full of fruit that you see

[35:25] and i remember just thinking to myself like oh obviously that's gonna explode

[35:30] roots in just go everywhere

[35:32] yet to do a fruit cake yeah he's gonna a fruit but it's gonna get knocked over

[35:35] and big mess is going to happen in

[35:38] i was just come on and then they did it and it was just not as big as i thought

[35:42] it would be it's just like a mild push over like the art department's like i'm

[35:47] not getting all that fruit

[35:48] i don't want to go around looking for every single apple

[35:52] the union guys said two boxes max

[35:57] uh...

[35:58] this movie has

[36:00] uh... this movie has a plethora of

[36:02] bizarre crazy scenes i think that are worth mentioning

[36:07] probably to a certain degree probably not worth them

[36:10] renting or buying to see them

[36:13] but i

[36:14] the my craziest moment in the movie and it makes no sense and i'm having a hard

[36:18] time figuring out and like when we saw it

[36:21] i think we're all going

[36:23] wait what

[36:24] if i think we had rewinded because like wait how did that

[36:28] so there's a scene where uh...

[36:31] when uh... willie becomes friend more friends with the kids at school

[36:35] and he abandons gooby to a certain extent and gooby's staying home and like

[36:39] watching old movies and masturbating or whatever

[36:43] whatever gooby's do when they're lonely

[36:46] he's at school he's having a good time he's hanging out with his friends he's

[36:50] really clicking in

[36:51] and at a certain point

[36:53] uh... he's in the middle of playing a soccer game

[36:55] and a soccer ball is twirling toward his friend

[36:58] and you assume it's toward his friend you don't actually you can't see no it's it's

[37:02] toward his friend and then

[37:04] his friend willie willie goes oh no it's going to hit my friend

[37:08] and he pushes willie out of the way

[37:10] no

[37:11] it's like jumping in front of a bullet yeah

[37:13] uh... a soccer ball by the way

[37:16] which is as stewart pointed out

[37:18] the main thing that hits your head a big part of a soccer game is the ball hitting

[37:23] parts of your body yeah

[37:26] uh...

[37:26] at that point that we cut to home where gooby is staying in the shed

[37:31] and there's a point where

[37:33] uh... gooby is looking inside and the father's like what

[37:37] there's an emergency

[37:38] oh i guess i better get going

[37:41] gooby hitches a ride with the father

[37:43] thinking that willie was endangered because he got hit with the

[37:47] soccer ball

[37:48] but really it was an emergency at work that the father had to go to

[37:51] gooby goes to the construction site there were some hijinks we talked about

[37:54] that earlier yeah but like

[37:57] but the thing is like and then later on uh... he gets hurt gooby gets hurt at the

[38:01] construction site

[38:02] willie's suing him up

[38:04] and then there's a point where gooby's like

[38:05] i thought they were

[38:07] how was your head did you get hit by the soccer ball

[38:10] there's no way that gooby would have known that and then he's like that's why i went to the

[38:15] construction site i thought you were i thought your dad was talking about the

[38:19] injury that you got in soccer that i knew about somehow and it's just like

[38:24] the whole thing would have made more sense if they just said gooby's psychic a little

[38:28] yeah or he has like a certain telepathic link

[38:32] but they just like e.t. like you said right yeah like e.t. or like you know like

[38:36] you know they're linked by childhood dreams yeah but there's just like

[38:40] but there's just there's no two players

[38:43] tied together by fate uh... it's not as funny as those other moments but there's

[38:48] just this thought of like oh

[38:51] there's like no explanation to why gooby knew

[38:54] about his it was the how inexplicable it was i think that made it interesting

[39:01] every good piece of art contains one one thing that's just unknowable

[39:06] that's the one thing that's the one thing that's the single thing

[39:11] everything else is tied up

[39:13] it's like that

[39:14] it's like that sculpture the thinker you want to know what he's thinking or why

[39:18] gooby knew

[39:21] i want to say like

[39:22] at some point director wilson uh... candy bear or whatever is going to come out

[39:28] the reason he knew was uh... there was an email

[39:34] uh... one of the kids was tweeting about how this dork named willy got hit in the head

[39:38] with a soccer ball that's in the commentary

[39:40] like oh we had to delete this scene

[39:42] yeah this email scene

[39:45] because we just figured the audience didn't care

[39:47] and well they figured the audience would put the pieces together

[39:50] they filled in the gaps

[39:51] but that's uh...

[39:53] i would you safely say that's bad filmmaking right there

[39:57] uh... is uh... maybe occasionally overestimate

[40:00] your audience that they'll make it

[40:02] i don't think so

[40:03] so i want to

[40:05] before we move on but i don't doubt you know it's true

[40:08] before we go out they know i don't have to be spoon-fed every little bit

[40:12] before we move on to the ducktales portion of the show the traditional

[40:16] ducktales portion

[40:18] or a bad movie and ducktales podcast

[40:22] come for the bad movies, stay for the ducktales

[40:25] on itunes that's our secondary category is ducktales

[40:31] now one more thing i want to talk about

[40:36] one more thing i want to talk about is uh...

[40:38] the odd usage of the secondary characters in this film

[40:42] so we have this uh... nanny slash housekeeper character

[40:46] who is set up to be kind of like

[40:48] an evil

[40:50] an evil babysitter a little bit like she thinks that like you know like gooby

[40:54] steals the cookies and she thinks it's like she shakes babies and stuff

[40:57] not that evil

[40:59] you don't need like a nanny cam or anything according to most subway ads

[41:02] i've been informed not to shake any babies

[41:06] i mean i don't ride the subway

[41:08] i don't watch ads for subway sandwiches

[41:13] if it's a salt shaker it's better

[41:17] or if you're putting a baby in a

[41:20] in a cup with some ice cream and root beer

[41:23] those are tough

[41:25] anyway

[41:26] so uh... this this this character is set up to be like maybe an antagonist like

[41:31] you know she she thinks that the kids

[41:33] stealing the cookies but it's gooby and like uh... we gotta hide gooby from the

[41:38] the uh... the nanny

[41:39] and then she disappears

[41:42] for basically the entire second half

[41:45] of the film to the degree

[41:46] that we were all kind of like so

[41:48] is that she was she fired? she probably moved on to a secondary career of sweater

[41:53] modeling

[41:55] there are a lot of sweaters in this movie

[41:57] uh... but then she shows up like asleep in one scene late in the film oh yeah that

[42:01] was a character

[42:02] that the film

[42:03] used and then discarded. it's called an arc Dan. there is um

[42:07] there are a lot of red herrings in this movie that is not a mystery at all

[42:12] well i also wanted to talk about eugene levy because like eugene levy is like sort of an

[42:15] unusual character

[42:17] i feel he has an unusual hairstyle that looks like the owl from marvel comics

[42:22] well i was like

[42:23] uh... when eugene levy shows up

[42:26] he comes in. mr nerlinger

[42:27] mr nerlinger he comes in and he talks about his

[42:30] his fish comics his fish uh... books for young people that no one has read

[42:35] that he writes

[42:36] uh... and he

[42:38] is very carefully

[42:40] i like that he described it as fish books for young people that nobody's read

[42:45] that helped me paint a picture in my mind of what he does

[42:49] i like the fact that at one point i pointed it out

[42:52] during the he's like

[42:54] today we're going to be studying alice

[42:57] in wonderland is the book we're reading and i'm like

[43:00] what school studies alice in wonderland like

[43:04] as like a as part of the curriculum you know like it's

[43:07] usually it's something like uh... i don't know like the diary of ann frank

[43:11] or something like that. the catcher in the rye or bridge of terabithia

[43:16] who wants to like what is there to learn out of the pedophilic alice in wonderland

[43:23] i love alice in wonderland like i think the reason that schools don't teach it

[43:26] is it's too good

[43:28] there's no there's no message in it

[43:30] and that's what's great about it

[43:32] yeah uh... why aren't there all the cgi battles like in the movie

[43:36] back up though

[43:38] i was going to say was uh... there there's a scene where when eugene levy

[43:42] first comes in he's very carefully folding a napkin

[43:46] and the uh...

[43:48] kid willie has uh... some of his

[43:50] ever useful voiceover which is always just saying something that we're already

[43:54] seeing on screen. yeah we can connect with him

[43:56] and he's like

[43:57] you ever have one of those moments

[43:59] where you just know you're not gonna like your teacher

[44:02] like it's like it's very specific. it wasn't like you ever had those moments where you

[44:05] realize your teacher is really weird

[44:08] and like yeah we got it. he's weird

[44:11] he's putting a sandwich on top of a napkin

[44:13] which is

[44:14] kind of anything but but that was like the worst

[44:17] but he's set up to be this like crazy teacher but

[44:20] he never does anything that bad in the movie like

[44:23] like he's this failed children's book author

[44:26] who wants to get a picture of gooby and as you would if you see a giant bear

[44:31] but he's not like doing anything evil at any point. i'd like to note for some

[44:35] reason i thought gooby when i first heard the name i thought the character

[44:38] would be more like slimy sticky like gooey

[44:42] or like... gooby implies... i believe at one point gooby himself makes reference to

[44:47] his name sounds like snot

[44:49] oh yes he does. he does say that quite a few times throughout the movie

[44:53] in uh... another great scene that didn't matter at all

[44:58] there was a lot of just yeah a lot of the scenes in the movie have

[45:01] very little consequence to do with anything else

[45:04] in the rest of the movie. like the one where gooby's just hanging out looking at

[45:09] child drawn pictures

[45:10] yeah

[45:11] well that had a consequence. he saw the picture and then he built a uh...

[45:16] soapbox racer style car

[45:21] jumped over a chasm

[45:23] which went right into traffic

[45:25] and all the people in traffic including mister nerdlinger

[45:28] saw gooby in the goat cart fly overhead E.T. style

[45:32] yeah and everybody was kind of amazed and like... it's like gooby's on a collision

[45:37] course with this nerdlinger fellow

[45:39] like they're two like

[45:41] opposing forces that are being drawn to each other. i'm sure there must be a big

[45:44] payoff for that eventually steward. oh there isn't

[45:49] but there's that scene where at the end he bends uh... mister nerdlinger

[45:53] bends over and then gets picked up by a forklift

[45:56] which prevents him from using his uh... recently purchased disposable camera to

[46:01] take a picture of gooby. he's closed. all the loose ends are all

[46:07] taking care of him. it's like the ending of animal house. we know exactly where every character is going

[46:12] alright so we've actually talked a fair amount of time on gooby so i think we need to wrap up

[46:16] alright now it's time for the ducktales. we've picked its bones clean. did you ever see the episode of ducktales?

[46:23] which one? flint and heart gone gold

[46:25] and scrooge went for that competition of who has the most money and they had to do it

[46:29] on the two scales. it's a two-parter. yeah yeah of course. that's a good episode. yeah it was a really good one. flint and heart gone gold.

[46:34] i love that. that's my favorite character.

[46:38] the natural enemy of any irish duck is the scottish duck.

[46:43] you know it's uh...

[46:45] both characters created by carl barks. one of the greatest comics artists

[46:50] of uh...

[46:51] the twentieth century

[46:53] uh...

[46:54] you can read more about carl barks on the internet.

[46:57] way to make it less fun.

[47:01] brilliant uh...

[47:02] still not as much fun as it was before.

[47:05] what are we doing? we want to tie up gooby. we want to talk about the ducktales nintendo game.

[47:12] which is a really good one.

[47:14] you can hit diamonds with your game.

[47:17] and it's like the confidence bottle of video games. it's kind of easy. you can beat it.

[47:21] makes you feel good. now i just want to quickly do our final judgments.

[47:25] leg cramp. was this a good bad movie? a bad bad movie?

[47:30] or a movie you actually kind of liked?

[47:32] uh... and i'm going to take it over to you first.

[47:35] uh...

[47:37] i said this earlier uh...

[47:39] i feel like there are certain movies...

[47:41] i would watch a movie where i'm like oh this is going to be bad and i would watch it by

[47:45] myself

[47:46] and there's this thought where i'm like uh...

[47:48] why did i watch this movie by myself? it's just bad and boring and i'm going to like

[47:52] fall asleep kind of thing.

[47:54] this is kind of like... i don't

[47:56] i don't know. i feel a little mixed about it. i think this was a fun movie to watch

[48:00] if you're going to watch with friends. so it's like kind of a good bad movie in that sense.

[48:04] where if you're going to watch this with friends this is pretty ideal because it's so

[48:07] wacky and it has like numerous moments that we mentioned that are worth like seeing

[48:12] and are stupid. but it's ultimately bad bad because it is kind of boring.

[48:17] uh... like without... if you're going to

[48:20] i think you might get questioned by your friends. you're like oh i got a great good bad movie

[48:24] to show you. and he pulled this out so

[48:28] uh... i'm going to have to go

[48:31] i'm going to have to go with bad bad i guess because i just didn't think it was...

[48:36] i mean unless you see it with some people and you're ready for an evening of

[48:39] fun. yeah i think that's a fairly comprehensive response. i mean it is

[48:44] pretty terrible. i think i made more of an effort than i have in the past with

[48:48] really shitty movies. i tried not to spend too much time

[48:53] surfing the internet. there was only like a fifteen minute span. yeah i know. there was a point

[48:59] you did surf the internet a little bit. yeah well i have to. to your credit

[49:04] dan checked the internet too himself. but it was all gooby related.

[49:08] i was looking at movie reviews of gooby. some people said it was great family fun.

[49:12] they were wrong. they are liars. those people are on dope.

[49:17] so you're saying you kind of liked it a little bit. no i didn't like it a little bit.

[49:22] no thanks. thanks dan for making me watch gooby. skyline and gooby.

[49:27] punch my mom in the face maybe. i'm going to give this one a marginal good bad movie.

[49:32] okay. because uh...

[49:33] because you suggested it. i'm probably grading on a curve at this point. sure.

[49:37] but compared to a lot of movies that we've watched

[49:39] where it's just boring and it's just uh... mediocrity is what makes it bad

[49:44] this is very ill conceived. there's a lot about this movie

[49:48] that is just wrong on all levels. and it's easy to watch

[49:53] because it's on netflix watch instantly. you can dial it up tonight.

[49:56] pop it into your queue.

[50:00] watch it now sure okay it's more accurate than your previous explanations

[50:05] about Netflix works all right so um now let's let's do our final segment which

[50:11] is uh what's it what's a good movie that we would like to recommend a movie

[50:15] that's not gooby but let's let Andy start uh well I actually have two and a

[50:26] do it make up for me so uh because I love bad movies and this was a ball by

[50:33] the way I had a great time I had a really I had a really great time thank

[50:37] you for having me by the way no problem um but uh and I I'm sorry for laughing

[50:42] so much because this was a lot of fun and peeking and I'm sorry for the

[50:45] listener who had to take their earbuds periodically and be like oh god damn

[50:50] let's do that anyway um but uh so because this is the flop house and you

[50:56] guys do good good bad movies or you're looking for good bad movies I'm going to

[51:01] recommend one which is sin bad of the seven seas or I think it's it's called

[51:07] sin bad it has Lou Ferrigno in it that is probably one of my favorite good bad

[51:13] movies of all time I don't think a lot of people know about it it is truly

[51:18] awful and I feel like there's a point in the movie where the audio to the movie

[51:22] was lost and they had to supplement it with horrible tedious narration the

[51:28] acting is bad the score is bad the story is bad the it's just so bad all around

[51:36] and there's some memorable so many memorable parts to it it's really worth

[51:40] watching so if you are a bad movie aficionado I would say go see this if

[51:45] you haven't seen it already it is probably really worth seeing I don't

[51:49] know if anyone's recommended on the show but yet no but it is a good one it is it

[51:53] is a really great one I I'm not surprised that it has not reached it

[51:57] should reach like troll to or the room status but like it is it has so many

[52:02] great words yeah I but then my second recommendation is just kind of a genuine

[52:08] a genuine movie that I didn't enjoy like in an ironic way and I don't think it

[52:14] got as much play and if you like Conan Brooke Coen brothers movies I recommend

[52:19] a serious man I really enjoyed that movie a lot I thought it was good Jewish

[52:23] friends of mine have told me they thought it was too Jewish but but I

[52:29] think it's self-hating a lot of Jewish friends were like I thought that was too

[52:34] Jewish but maybe because I didn't grow up Jewish I thought it was thoroughly

[52:39] entertaining you converted is what you're saying I converted culturally and

[52:42] comedically yeah because it was just Julie enough yeah I don't know what it

[52:47] was I really enjoyed it because I think there's a thing where it's like oh I'm

[52:50] learning so much about Jewish culture by watching this movie but it's a really I

[52:55] think it I was very entertained by I really like it and it's very I think in

[53:00] one one of the podcasts you guys were talking about you're like I kind of want

[53:04] my Coen brothers movies to be more Coen brothers this ask and this is very

[53:09] very corny yeah Coney and thus less likely to receive enough critical

[53:16] attention yeah yeah it didn't mainstream it didn't get a lot of like attention

[53:20] when it came out right it's yeah I mean it was very well received critically but

[53:25] it was not like a hit in a way that right you know no country for old men

[53:30] before it or true grit after it I but I really liked it I watched it again I

[53:34] still thought it was pretty entertaining and there's parts of it I just think are

[53:38] just like fun just to watch and and it's just the acting is really well

[53:43] done and and I I thought I just watched the King's speech last night and I

[53:48] thought that was all right too by the way I want to make it clear that I

[53:51] didn't forget the existence of burn after reading which actually came

[53:55] directly after no country for old men but I was just talking about I have yet

[53:59] Cohen hits I have yet to see that but I heard I I loved that movie actually like

[54:04] I think that movie is like a really good it's actually a good companion piece to

[54:08] like the Big Lebowski it's like a more cynical version of that hmm like the

[54:12] lady killers no Stuart what were you gonna recommend you were chomping at the

[54:19] bit no no no I can't think anything this week I would probably just what I what I

[54:24] would normally do in a situation like this is just fall back on a like a

[54:27] tried-and-true favorite like telling people they should go watch Dead Heat

[54:31] again or possibly the Invisible Maniac right or maybe go watch movie trailers on

[54:38] movie trailers on demand and scoff at them for a while like I like to do but

[54:43] yeah I can't think anything offhand since I've been watching a lot of

[54:46] television instead of movies which is pretty lame I will admit so what do you

[54:51] have to recommend today Dan oh so if you're so if you're passing yeah I'll

[54:56] pass never I mean never been a thing before but apparently Stuart's passing

[55:00] no I mean I could have I recommended fantasy mission force all right with

[55:05] I should recommend fantasy mission force if I haven't okay because it's

[55:11] shockingly violent at times and it rewrites history in a strange way we're

[55:15] in World War two I believe the general for the American forces is Abraham

[55:21] Lincoln and he gets captured by the Chinese or maybe no maybe the Japanese

[55:27] and then a team is this awesome team is assembled to save the generals of the

[55:32] Allied powers and in the process they fight hopping vampires this weird cabal

[55:39] of female warriors who attack you with tennis balls with like strings on them

[55:44] and then it culminates in a battle against a road warrior style gang and

[55:51] almost all the good guys get murdered horribly including a guy getting killed

[55:56] by a spear up his ass so a fantasy mission force it's awesome

[56:01] you had a great recommendation I just thought I'd recommended it before yeah

[56:10] I don't I haven't watched a lot either so I'm gonna recommend something not

[56:14] overlooked at all because it got it got a Best Picture nomination this last year

[56:19] story three I recently watched winter's bone okay that was I was gonna say had

[56:28] delight from start to finish but that's not a that's not a good way of

[56:31] describing winners but I mean it's kind of a bleak movie in some ways unless you

[56:36] saw the porn version which is winter's boner

[56:40] hey I got this guy it was another sitting on that all night no I you wait

[56:46] until you hear the joke I've been sitting on all night well we'll close

[56:50] with that but uh but um no winners bone so you had some laughs enjoyed it it was

[56:57] good it was a popcorns you know like there's there's been a real renaissance

[57:01] in sort of a hillbilly crime recently between this and the television show

[57:09] justified sure the same cop justified is justified is heavier on the like the

[57:17] genre elements and this is more of like just a drama about people living in the

[57:22] Ozarks and it's kind of like it has genre stuff to kind of like make it go

[57:28] down a little easier but ultimately the crime stuff doesn't really matter so

[57:32] much as the character stuff and winners bone but it's just a beautiful movie

[57:37] beautifully acted like a like it's like a crime mix-em-up is what you're saying

[57:41] like a Guy Ritchie movie not at all okay so Dan recommended a Guy Ritchie movie I

[57:47] recommended an early Jackie Chan feature and we got a serious man and what was

[57:52] uh Sinbad Sinbad that's a good one and uh Rick knows and Andy what's this joke

[57:57] you've been sitting on oh I guess that toward the end of the podcast I just

[58:01] wanted to say it is Tuesday and we saw Gooby and all I wanted to say is

[58:07] goodbye Gooby Tuesday on that note I've been Dan McCoy I've been Stuart Wellingdon I am

[58:18] been sitting in for Elliot Kalin and I'm Andy Rocco good night everyone Gooby Tuesday

[58:27] that uh is a good one

[58:29] I'm gonna write a flop house insider sure they just feel like an expose yeah just before the

[58:38] show started McCoy and Wellington quibbled sure like old lovers yeah that's that's how we quibble

[58:46] I guess like elderly lovers where's the soup I want soup okay and three meaning sex two
