And now let's get into it. Last week we talked at length about milk money. As one of our commenters on Discord called it, it's a film that aged so poorly, it curdled. Oh yeah, that is from Discord user, fast and a furious Anna.

Thank you for that great tagline. Now we, of course, had questions about milk money. And we might have even missed a furious Anna. Thank you for that great tagline. Now we of course had questions about milk money And we might have even missed a few things. It is now your chance to set the record straight Fact check us if you will it is now time for corrections and omissions If you have emissions Chris Persell, nice job. Love that theme song. Let's go to the discord. Rye Rye 80 writes, When the fire alarm has pulled the school dance, there's a couple of great 80 R lines from Nakamikdal, when he yells,

I hate fire! And I don't like closets. I did not hear either one of those. Also, Kasey Somanso isn't just murdered by Nakamikdal. The news report says it was a ritualistic mutilation. And apparently he cut out his heart. This was all in a family film, oh man, I missed the 90s. You said it as best as I could.

I feel like this is a movie where Richard Benjamin, who had made a lot of weird movies, just kind of let people go on ADR and was like no one will care no one will listen. It's a fucking kids movie and you know what? He was right except for when it came to Rye Rye 80. Rye Rye 80 was on to you. Joe Tangella writes my favorite piece of trivia about milk money is that one of the kids in the montage where they're selling porn in school was former Red Sock rate and two time World Series champ Kevin Euclis. He is the kid collecting money outside of the bathroom. Apparently they filmed this scene at his school in Ohio. Now I did actually mention this in the show, but I kind of messed up his last name and I

have to say that oftentimes when I do talk about sports on how did this get made, especially in front of a live audience, it goes dead. I remember one time I referenced Steph Curry. The audience had no reaction to it to the point where I was like, Steph Curry, right? You all know, no, nothing. Now I will say, I was just with June the other day and we were talking about going to see Joni Mitchell

and we were with a woman who's a little bit older and she's like, oh, what concert did you see and I said? Oh, Joni Mitchell And she's like, oh who's that and I feel like and I'm my question to all of you is That's a name that even if you're not familiar with the work. You know the name right? Joni Mitchell Bob Dylan Frank Sinatra like their names that are synonymous with music I would think and this woman was older than us. So she should definitely know. I know, I felt like an idiot, but when I brought up Bob Dylan, she said, oh yes, I know Bob Dylan.

He sang Rocky Mountain High. And so maybe it was just, maybe it was just a wrong person to ask about music. Maybe she was a, how did this get made fan? JXL writes, what the hell was going on with the kids leather jacket, the kids in the movie all seem like they wanted to fuck it more than Melanie Griffith. And during the opening air porn market scene, there was a queue of girls paying a quarter a piece to wear it for three seconds. Yeah, that was weird. I remember wanting objects like that, like I think whenever

I could at an earring that was a big deal. But like I remember there was a gun earring that was like a magnet and people really wanted to put that on their ear to kind of live vicariously through it. And maybe a leather jacket had that same kind of cache. I don't know that clearly seems like something that is out of somebody's childhood. So I'm gonna air on the side of that is real somewhere. Let's go to the phones, no from Albuquerque, what do you got? Hey Paul, this is no with Albuquerque.

You'll also know me as the twin dad to Evan and Elliott from the milk money episode, which we absolutely loved. But I do have a quick correction in a mission. In the episode, you guys talk about Kevin and Kevin's dad, but you leave out a little bit of the fact that Kevin's dad is an OCD compulsive meat-free, which is why when he gets out of bed to call the Anne Hays character, he makes the bed as if he wasn't in it. And this comes back later in Kevin's reaction

that learning that his dad is lying to them and cheating on his mother with V, and Kevin's reaction to go full on Pickpen is a reaction to that kind of OCD compulsive necrete that Kevin is medicating. And we see this also in the credits where Kevin's dad character has only reference is as Mr. Clean. So I think that kind of carries through in those two characters and what's going on.

So anyways, we love you guys. The babies love you guys. Babies love Jason. We'll definitely come and visit when we're back out in LA, talk to you later. Okay. Well, first of all, hi to the twins. I buy it. Okay. You make a good point. You set a lot of things, hi to the twins. I buy it. Okay, you make a good point.

You said a lot of things that I don't remember. So honestly, based on my lack of memory of this film, I'm going to say that you are 100% right. Thank you for clearing that out. Kevin's dad is an OCD neat freak. Thomas from Santa Clara writes, well, he doesn't write anything. He actually just calls and leaves a voicemail that sounds like this

hey this is comical center clara i just wanted to say a poem on your side of the movie is crazy uh... between the child solicitation and the uh... child management all the adults in the movie should be in jail uh... but the thing about it in the most of the attention which was the two hundred fifty thousand dollars that he gets at the end how does that pay for everything? Well, I did some basic inflation math.

And that amount of money and today's money is about 513,000. And the average cost per acre of land in Pennsylvania right now is around 30 grand. So in that time period, you figure $14,600 per acre, something five acres, not a lot of land to save. So that's about $73,000 plus $17,000 for a brand new Chrysler LeBaron convertible, wild choice for a car. So with those two things, she's only in at about 90K. So that leaves $160,000 for however much you cost to franchise or buy a small town ice cream shop and all of the liability Insurance they're gonna need for that marshland because kids and people are gonna get hurt and they're gonna have to pay for it

But I guess it's plausible. That's the only part of the movie that makes sense All right, wow that is absolutely shocking Wow, I guess $250,000 was good. I mean, you know, he's right about the insurance, but I guess I could get around that again. It was a different time. Maybe insurance rates were down. All right. I'm impressed with that, Thomas. Anyway, let's go to Abby. Hi, Paul. This is Abby. I was just listening to the milk bunny episode and I remembered something kind of hilarious right off the top.

I thought you would have known. I thought in an episode of Party Down, Megan Mulali gets really stoned and you're in it and she keeps referring to you as Ed Harris and she goes, oh, I love milk bunny. And that's just always been in my head, but I don't, it's been years and such, many of this though. Anyway, it was really funny. Thank you, bye. Abby, I don't remember this at all, but good thing our producer Scott does

and Scott actually pulled a clip from Party Down. Your memory was correct, Abby, take a listen. Dude, I am sorry about this whole thing. It was petty of me, it was small. You deserve better. Yeah. How do you know ad Harris? Wasn't he wonderful in milk money? I feel depressed. How do you fix that? Alright, that was... Yeah, that's a great episode. I really love that episode. Uh, well, that's not a great episode. I love being in that episode. I'm a huge fan of party down.

And if you've not watched the new season of party down on, uh, stars, get to it. It's just, it gets better and better. Jettner is in it and she's great. Uh, Camerino, so funny. Martin Star, the whole, the whole, the whole, Ryan Hansen, everybody. I could name them all. They're all great. Uh, Adam Scott, of course. Um, people are upset. Adam Scott has not come back. And I'm Reno, so funny, Martin Star, the whole, the whole, Ryan Hanson, everybody, I could name them all. They're all great. Adam Scott, of course, people are upset. Adam Scott has not come back and we will get to him. We'll get a response from Adam about Fast and Soon enough. Okay, what is up next?

Oh, we got a phone call from Margaret about kids PJs. All right, I'm in. Hi Paul, this is Margaret. I am calling with some info about children's PJs. I used to sell them. And this is kind of crazy. But the reason that children's PJs are supposed to be tight fitting and flame retardant goes back

to the time of people smoking in the 70s. And falling asleep while smoking and accidentally setting their houses on fire. So the smoking industry pushed to make furniture and children's PJs flame returned so that they would not catch fire and not be liable for children's staff. It's crazy.

But that is the reason why PJs, children's PJs still are cut very tightly for the body, still are fitting, and they are flame retardant. And the only reason that they can get away with not being flame retardant is if they're extra, extra form fitting. So I thought that would be interesting info for y'all to have things, bye.

Wait, so we have now kept pajamas tight on kids because when we used to smoke, can't we just loosen that up a little bit? I'm now well, I'm glad that June is right, but I also feel like she's wrong because it's you know a relic of a bygone era But anyway, the pajama talk continues on the discord as Amanda's Amy writes everyone mock June about her views on tight-fitting pajamas to prevent burns and fires But as a mom, I know that all kids pajamas come with a big tag attached to them about this exact thing. There are actually rules and regulations mandating that pajamas are either flame retardant or

tight-fitting. Now, she posts this picture. I get this. Like I order pajamas all the time for making that all the time, but a lot. And I've seen this tag. It says, for children's safety, the garment should fit snugly. This garment is not flame resistant. Loose fitting garment is more likely to catch fire.

Okay, well, I see that and maybe that's what June said. I always find that on really cheap-o stuff. But anyway, Scott Chimes, and this is our producer, Scott. And he goes, in 1996, the Consumer Product Safety Council Commission introduced a loophole into children's sleep wear regulations that says, kids, PJs, do not repeat, do not have to be fire resistant, as long as they are snug-fitting. Why?

Well, because tight-finged pajamas are less likely to ignite if the child is near an open flame, and they are less flammable due to a lack of oxygen between child's skin and the garment. So why wouldn't a parent simply buy a regular fit PJs that are fire resistant? Well, flame resistant chemicals sometimes irritate the skin and maybe linked to health problems. Does this vindicate June?

Well, one discord user chimes in. Richard Ballshaft says the pajamas are already designed to be close fitting at the correct size. There's no need to size down. Well, okay, but here's the thing. Why are we so worried about fucking pajamas? What about regular clothes? Like, like, we only are gonna catch fire at night.

Like, we're only escaping a fiery inferno at night. I call bullshit on it. All clothes should be tight fitting then. But we can't just go like fire start at night We're not cave men and women people anyway, so many great corrections and omissions this week But there can only be one and honestly the the winner is clear I don't want to get into all the pajama talk Abby amazing year for remembering that I was referenced as the main character of this film, but truly, the person who brought it all home from me was my friend Thomas from Santa Clara who did the actual math and found out how much money a V got at the end of this movie. And honestly, the time he spent there means that you, sir, are a winner and you get this

amazing song from hominem. Hit it. All right. If you want to take part in this kind of discussion, please do hit us up on the discord at discord at dot gg slash hdtgm or calls at six one nine paul ask, but if you want to submit a tagline like I introduced a segment with today, you can also do that as well. There's all these forums and boards. I love discord. It's great.

Coming up, Jason and I answer some listener phone calls and recommend TV shows and movies that we're currently in two plus. I reveal next week's movie and at the very end of the show I will share an exclusive deleted scene from our milk money episode. So you don't want to miss that stick around. All right people. You probably noticed that the hadids get made feed on every Monday. We are pulling out an old episode and re-releasing them back into the rotation. This week's Matt named Monday was Holy Matrimony and next week's will be my stepmom is an alien

directed by milk money director Richard Benjamin. So keep on checking out these replays of old episodes. I just get made every single Monday and let's let's just go into just chat but it's a little bit different because Jason and I decided for just chat this week we're gonna open up the helpline one more time and offer up our expert advice and we even toss in some TV and movie recommendations to rob from Long Island take it away We occasionally do this. A chance to talk back to people, give them advice, help them with their lives. We got some phone calls. Should we go to the phone and see what people have to say? Sure.

Why not? Why not? Boom. Hi, Paul. This is Nate from Cincinnati. I had a question that he's getting brought up over the course of the, how did this get made podcast? All three of you have brought up coffee drinking and tea drinking at one point or another and it always makes me thirsty

for a good cup of tea or a good cup of coffee. During one of the episodes that I can't remember, you and brought up that you, Paul, make a fantastic pot of coffee in the morning, but she never went into details on what makes this pot of coffee in the morning, but she never went into details on what makes this pot of coffee so damn good. So my question to you is, what do you do to make your coffee the best in the world? Thanks, Paul, take care. Well, it was a very good question.

I feel like we both can kind of tackle because I know Jason you also have some techniques. I'm gonna tell you this. Yeah. First and foremost, I was in London at one point and I was in this very famous T shop. Amazing. It's like a floor of T. Oh, well. And I was looking around and I said to June, I sent her a text. It's a June. Should I get some tea?

Look, anything you like and she's like, hard-passed as what she set me from the world's greatest tea company here. And I like tea. I like a tea. I will make a tea. I like a tea at the end of the night. You like a tea during the day, or I've seen you kind of have a...

I'm a coffee day, tea night person. Okay. Unless I'm wanting, yeah, that's pretty much how it shakes out. Okay, because I'll tell you this much, I don't drink hot coffee, I don't love hot coffee, I have a latte, I'll do different things, I like an iced coffee. I found myself loving this new brand.

I'm gonna probably mispronounce this name, but I think it's called Commatier. Or Commatier, I don't know. And it basically is like bull-yong cubes of coffee. They come frozen in a little pod, but they're from some of the best coffee places around the country. And then you would drop that into a coffee cup and then pour hot water over it and it becomes coffee. But it's not like instant because it's frozen like an ice pop. And I actually use

it for great ice coffee. It's the first time I've really loved my ice coffee because the coffee's so good. So we go get them tiger. It's from all these cool places and you can kind of dictate what you want out of the box. But that has been my new go-to for like an iced beverage because I feel like I can't figure out the cold brew thing to my liking. It's always a little too much for me. I get that. But yeah, I mean, but I will say this, I make a great pot of coffee for June. I don't know what it is. I think it's just, I think that June likes

a very basic coffee. She likes pizza, major Dickinson blend. That's what she likes. I've tried to change likes. I've tried to Change that I've tried to bring other coffees into the house and she sniffed them out from a mile away. I've tried to Sell her on grinding beans and and doing it like that sure. I won't do it I like all that stuff. I love all that's it. That's my whole that's my whole gig is my whole morning is like I'm making it takes me A minute to make a I'm making I'm grinding beans in a Big Bird grinder. I make a French I make a French press

Every morning if you want to see me make a French press actually. Yeah, from many many many years ago over 10 years ago But it's the same I still do the same exact thing now that I did then. I did a video for Amy Polar's Boys Minute when she had that channel going where, what was the channel called? The segment was smart girls. Smart girls, thank you.

There was a segment called Boys Minute. And in my minute, I talked about how I make a French press. And so I grind beans. And in my minute, I talked about how I make a French press. And so I grind beans. I traditionally use go-getting beans or counterculture or a couple of other. Counterculture is part of this. Yeah.

Come material. Oh nice. Yeah. So I'll grind beans. I'll make a French press every morning. I subscribe to, I'll shout out James Hoffman, who is a British YouTube, uh, coffee expert. He's a British coffee expert who has a prominent YouTube coffee channel.

Uh, I use his French press. I've altered, I've actually altered my French press method that is in that Amy Poler, uh, in the boys minute video, slightly to accommodate James Hoffman's method, which I actually think is a little bit better. By the way, I want to just say that Jason, very easily, all you have to do is type in, Jason Minsky is French Press. First thing that comes up is you right here with boys minute. Great.

So that's it. I make a French press every day and I have for 20 years. Now, I like that idea. You see, I like process. I like getting in and smelling the beans. And it's also when I watch, that's when I'll watch something that I might wanna watch, that I might just wanna have,

it's when I oftentimes will process that week's SNL or certain things that don't demand my full attention, but I want to watch. I'll put it on the iPad while I make my coffee or just NPR or Howard Stern. No, I love that. I love that idea. This is what I feel like I'm often trying to sell Junon. You know, this idea of like, let's try, let's up it, let's upgrade it, but no, she has very specific things. Now I'm gonna say this to you, Jason. Yeah. 10 years ago, you let cameras into your house.

Isn't this crazy? Yes. I'm watching it. I watched it recently and I was like, wow, I can't believe, this is a period though, when it didn't occur to me, this is not my house now. This is not my house now. This is where I lived many, many years ago. But yeah, that's like, is that nuts?

It is truly shocking. Yeah. Yeah. That's my biggest takeaway from that, and it looks great though. But yes, so we use a quiz and art pot. Very basic. Everything is okay. Super, super basic. I've tried to up the ante. I will do different things like when I was making my cold brew, I would be like putting, I would be grinding up some hazelnuts

of different different things. I tried to like cinnamon and all that sort of stuff, trying to make it, you know, but you know, simple wins the race for June. And now that I have this like way to make my ice coffee in the morning, I really liked it because they all some still taking that time. You know, I'm like, it just, I like the preparation of it. I like having it. And then I put it in a big Yeti and I walk around and they get to sip it. But let's talk T for a second, just quickly with some T stuff. Are you rocking T-bags or are you putting a little C? Okay, all right. I'm almost always doing a T-bag.

I have loose T, I almost never go for it because that's when I don't necessarily want process. Got it. It's T is usually like, it's late. I want, I just want some T to kind of wind down. I would rather just throw a T back in and do that. I mean, this is where I mean, look, I'm no offense to anyone out there who loves making their own T, but celestial seasonings, this is where I'm getting into, like, just give

me something nice and basic. Give me, yeah, I love it. Yeah. Give me a Moroccan mint tea. Give me a... I love that. Or just straight up give me something like chamomile or something very ginger, very mellow, very easy, end of night kind of tea.

And I will say this, which people don't know, but I feel like I should share it. A lot of people say when you have a sore throat or some of that, you should be drinking tea and that's the exact opposite apparently. I've talked to a lot of singers. So you should not exacerbate the vocal cords anymore than they are by putting hot liquid on it as well. Yeah. But I will, I will tell you that Jason and I often talk about,

you know, the website WireCutter, which we like, and they have a whole section on the best teas. Like, are they really? Oh, yes, a smooth, Ruby Black tea with honey notes. He is us too. It's Taiwanese Black tea, Manhattan Black, and they also talk about like a, a black tea for those who like it with milk, that's Taylor of Herrogate, Scott Ashbreck-Fastine.

Oh, that's not right. Yeah, a lot of different stuff here with the links to go get it. So that's why our cutter has a whole big thing. Oh, nice. All right, check that out. Hit us with another call, Scott. Hi, this is Victoria from San Diego. I just wanted to say I just finished listening

to the Fat Decks, the Fast Ex-Las Looks with Jason. And it was super fun fun but I just kind of wanted to describe it as it felt a lot like when mom goes out with her girlfriends for the first time in a while and dad has to watch the kid and kind of doesn't really know what he's doing on his own. Well Jason let me tell you first of all people love you as well. People say put some respect on Jason's name to as host. We always know that you're going to deliver, you know, and, and you get to come in

and have to do this from tip to tip to tails. I appreciate it. Oh, happily. But I'm, and I think, you know, I'm, I'm trying my best to give big substitute teacher energy. I love that. Look, when, when June goes out, I do this thing that is not, it's not indicative of our household at all,

but I get my sons to start chanting, boy, it's night. Yeah. Boy, it's night. Boy, it's the same as every other night in our house. Sure. But it is like, but it is like so fun to feel like someone's not there and you get to, you get to kind of run run the show the way that you want to do it.

Uh, I'll tell you this much. Shocked that by the time you were releasing that episode, fast 10 on video on the man. What is going on that the movie was in the theater for three weeks. Do you think that's indicative of it underperforming at the box office? for three weeks. Do you think that's indicative of it underperforming at the box office? So I did a little research on this and I found out that that is just universal studios. Oh, that's their way of acting. Okay. Because they, I guess, it oddly is as profitable as keeping it in the theater. So three weeks in the theater, and then you're charging people $19, $24 per buy, because I think it's 19 to rent and 24 to buy.

By the way, I bought it. I had to. And what I really love about Fast Furious being out so quickly is the amount of rips that people have just taken little moments, like Jason Mamoah just going, woohoo, and then jumping, the, you know, no spoiler alert here because hopefully you've already watched it. Gal Gadot the smile at the like everything about it. It like you get

to enjoy it while it's still a part of the the cultural conversation in the Zeke. I style like that. I haven't I haven't body yet, but I did by John Wick for. Oh, yes. Just so I can rewatch it. I've I've already watched it twice. So good. It is fantastic. I know we're not currently talking about what we've been watching, but boy, I just love popping in and watching a bunch of it. It's great. Oh, it is such a fun movie. I bought that as soon as I could get a Oh, it is such a fun movie. I bought that as soon as I could get it. Donnie N. A flawless addition to this universe.

Okay. Now, the very large gentleman that is plays, he plays cards with, right? Did not realize that was all like a nutty professor suit. Oh, yeah. That's got Atkins. I did not know that. And then when I looked and I've, you know, I've, I've, I didn't, I did not know all of his, uh, I know that.

Scott Atkins is like a prolific, um, you know, like B movie action star. Okay. And he's like a huge, he's, he's an incredible, um, a performer. He's, he's really, he's also, uh, he's in at least John Wick one. He's also in Ippman four. Yeah. Donnie and again. I did not know that much about this guy. And so when I saw that, I was like, whoa, this, it was really, I mean, that transformation is pretty off. Yeah. It's a good, it's a good suit. It's, he looks, he looks very compelling. Especially when you see how cut he is. And, and, and he's, and he's able to fight well in it. It's a good suit. He looks very compelling. Especially when you see how cut he is.

And he's able to fight well in it. The movie is fucking rad as hell. It's so, so good. All right, what do we got? What's the next call we got? Oh, wait a minute. Can we pause for one second? I just wanted to say, I like that the vibe of me hosting last looks is

Dad's away Moms away Dad's away the kids are running the kingdom. That's all I want. I love it. I mean the reviews are like uncles in charge Look, I love it That it is happening like that. Hi Paul. This is Aaron and Boston and Megan and his life also a deep dive fan. Yes. And we kind of have a dilemma that we need your help solving. So we moved to Boston back in 2019 and as huge fans of the show, we were really excited. We moved here because we're like, they always come to Boston.

We'll see a show. Now, of course, the pandemic happened and a lot of change in our life since then. So the only problem now is we're moving away from Boston in December. And July 25th, we're having a baby. So we kind of have a dilemma here of what do we do? What's the precious baby you can bring to a show? Yeah. So any help or advice on this much appreciated. Thanks. What's the precious baby you can bring to a show? We've had very, we've had very young babies. I mean, we've had really, we've had newborns. Somebody brought like a three week old baby

to a show once at least, and maybe even, maybe even less, I don't know. You know, I think that the thing that I would say is this, if you're just bringing the baby to bring the baby, God bless, but you know what, this is also supposed to be a time out for you all as well. Like, if it's gonna be too much of, I'm not saying it for us, I'm saying it for you, the audience.

I think if it's too much for you to deal with a baby that's not gonna be sitting still for you, I don't think you should bring the baby just because I think you won't enjoy it. But a lot of people bring these young babies that are just sleepin' and then it's great. Oh yeah. If you think you can,

if you think you can get by without it making you or let's be honest, the people around you distracted or uncomfortable or anything like that, then bring the baby. But also like don't prioritize seeing this show live over being good parents. Get it together. It gets, you know, stay home with your goddamn baby. Now baby, you're gonna have a break a brand new baby

to, let me be clear. You're gonna bring a brand new baby to a crowded show of all places in Boston, my hometown. You know, some, you know, there's some fucking fan, some Boston fan is gonna think that baby thinks it's better than them and that the person's gonna wanna fight the baby because Boston is what happens. That's what happens.

You think, you think you're smarter than me, baby? Watch out, that's what's gonna happen. And you gotta be careful. You don't want baby fights. You gotta protect your baby from fucking drunk Boston maniacs, which is 90% of our audience when we're there. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful.

You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful.

You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful.

You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. chance to get out of the house with a brand new baby and you can relax for two and a half hours to get a nice meal. Like, as a parent, I say, embrace that. Embrace that. You know, just enjoy that too. Don't, don't sacrifice a night out just for a chance that Jason may bless your baby. And also, don't bring your baby thinking that's what I want. Well, that's the whole thing. I don't want you people, I don't want bringing, people bringing babies that shouldn't be there.

If a baby don't think that having a baby at a show grants you on tray to talking to me, getting near me or anything like that, not interested. The baby tried to murder me in Houston, Texas. Let's be clear. By the way, I will say that, you know, the truth of the matter is, after that baby gave you COVID in Texas, you're a little more suspective babies. Oh, I haven't touched a baby since. Yeah, there you go. And I didn't even touch that baby that night. So I guess the question comes down to this July 25thth, we do a show on 8.8, is it too soon?

You know what? It may be the perfect time. You gotta call it as you see it. We don't charge extra for baby peace. But if your baby is not colloquy, not weird, then jump on in and embrace the embrace being a new parent. But yeah. and embrace the embrace being a new parent. But yeah. Oh, somebody is showing us on screen right now,

a picture of some people brought twins to Largo recently. Yeah. Oh my God, they were amazing. Twin babies, one of whom I believe was named middle name June. Yeah. So far haven't heard of anybody naming their baby Jason or Even more preferred zoos. Why not why not why not me? I want to just

First name there you go. That would be interesting. I like that. Think about it everybody All right, I was gonna say before we wrap up. Can I just shout out a few things that I've been watching that I want to give some attention to? I absolutely I was gonna say maybe we should just each list off three things we want to like clue people in on because we haven't talked about it for a little bit time. So we'll just kind of make it quick, but we just kind of touch on three things. Okay. So a couple of things that I want to shout out, I've talked about them a little bit. So you might have heard me talk about it, but polite society, the Neetamanzur movie,

the same creator from the peacock show, we are Lady Parts, which show I loved. This movie is incredible, beautiful, British coming of age comedy, it's hilarious, it's fantastic. Polite society, it's, you can get it now, buy it, rent it, support, please support it. We're, we talk so much about big IP fast and furious, and starwars, and marvels. Let's support smaller things. So to that end, polite society. Um, I love that.

I'll, what do you got? What do you got? What do you got? What do you got? What do you got? And say, uh, uh, friend of the podcast, uh, frequent guest on the podcast, uh, Seth Rogan has a great show called Platonic, which I really have been enjoying. Oh, I haven't seen it yet. enjoying on Apple TV. It's really funny and I don't know. I think that this handles this idea really

well, which is like, I love the relationship between him and Rose Byrne. They are just male and female friends, but they do a great job of taking the sexual energy out of it and really making it about great friends. And that's's I'm a huge fan of Nick Stoller and I and I think As much as I love his movies. I actually love seeing him When he does television as well because I feel like he can even breathe longer in these scenes You get these nice bigger scenes. I just think that his writing is always so great Nice character. So high recommend of Platonic and a shout out to Carla Gallo, who is very, very funny in it. Oh, nice.

Great. I will shout out the other two, which is absolutely pound for pound, the funniest show on television right now. I think they are about to finish this season, season three. It's on max. It's absolutely so fucking funny this show while also having moments of genuine heartbreak and heartache that are so real and land so well. I don't know any other show right now that is so successful at both heartbreak and absurd hilarious comedy. It's fantastic.

The other two absolutely dynamite. What else you got? I'm going to give a location out here. If you're in Los Angeles and you live on the East side, I live on the East side. So excited that Videots is now open for business. Videots is one of the premier video stores here in Los Angeles. It used to be all the way out in Santa Monica. They still rent movies. They built a giant video store. You can rent tons of great stuff.

Stuff you can't find anywhere else, but more importantly, they have an open, beautiful theater. They've converted this like this whole church and the the screenings that they have. This is just from like last month, like on a Saturday, you could go in the afternoon and see who Framerado Jarebitt and then at night go see One Eye Jacks. You could go see Rippo Man and Fantastic Mr. Fox, the Bird Cage and Cricklin. It's like having, and it's a very specific L.A. reference,

a new Beverly on the East Side. And that to me is thrilling. Oh great. Great programming. Wait, tell me again where it is. Oh great. Great programming. Tell me again where it is. It's in Eagle Rock. Great. And it's right on the main strip in Eagle Rock.

It's beautiful location. Fun shows, great interviews going on. Directors are popping up there all the time. And the theater is completely brand new, beautifully redone, giant every Saturday and Sunday afternoon as a kids matinee or kids film, fairly movie. And then they're just doing a tremendous programming. And I think it's going to just build and build and build and build.

Okay, great. I'm going to throw in just a couple of quick things on free V, which is Amazon's ad supported network where I've talked about the Tegan and Sarah show high school that I loved coming to the age story. Another incredible coming of age story, Primo. Oh, yes, this is the Shesurano. Yes, Shesurano show produced by Mike Sure. One of the writers is friend of the show Jason Concepcion who does his own fantastic podcast X ray vision. I can't recommend him this show enough. It is another coming of age story, very funny, but also such good heart, such a great heart show,

really human stuff, really fun. In a category that I feel like is really underserved right now, it's just really teen coming of age stuff that is very funny and not like goofy or not. It doesn't have a lot of added stuff. It's just great coming of age storytelling. It feels like a John Hughes movie or something, you know. I wanna bring up one thing that I just felt like I reopened my eyes to.

Obviously, Indiana Jones fever, I don't know if it's sweeping the nation, I don't know if it's sweeping the nation, but it's here, you know, the new one. I heard the vaccine coming it's sweeping the nation. I don't know if it's sweeping the nation, but it's here. You know, we got to get that. It's the, that fever is high. I know. Well, you got to get that that wall of bridge vaccine. The, so now I will take this. I have been getting ready for Indiana Jones and I rewatch Temple of Doom, which is not the one that I would ever really reach for. And man alive, I love this movie and it's worth it. You watch it.

So weird. It's so dark. It's, I don't know. I was having a conversation the other day about it. It is truly two men who at a point in their careers were like, we are unstoppable. And every note that someone would give them to make it more family friendly, more for quadrant, they did not take. And I think that the recipe,

some people may hate it, I think it's wonderful. And it's kind of like the Empire Strikes Back of candy because it's darker, it's harsher, it's not, it doesn't have a, it's like, it's a much harder movie. Yeah, Indy likes to fuck in that movie and kids are being tortured and kidnapped and there's voodoo and it's really fun. I hear there's a thing I'll say.

The larger point of it is, it's unfortunate that that movie had such a critical backlash or people are like, oh, it's too dark. You know, it's the reason I PG 13 came into existence because of the heart rip scene, which my sister, because we went to it. My dad took me in my sister to it and had to like take my sister out of the theater. And she still will talk about how upsetting it was to watch him reach in and pull someone's heart out. A moment when which molar arm reaches into someone's chest,

pulls out their heart, no blood. And it is fucking, it's scarred me as well. It's scarred me as well. It's so good, but I'll say this, if only people were on board with it, because I think that the wrong lessons were taken from that movie, which was like, let's try to recreate the first one,

where this was such a crazily fun departure from the first one. Sure. I don't know. Anyway, it's worth a look back. I was kind of like to, when these trilogies are coming out, like, kind of catch up on all that sort of stuff. Oh, yeah.

And that was a fun one to watch. Let me just shout out a couple of other things just because I want them to get the attention they deserve. The second season of somebody somewhere, the Bridget Everett show on Max is back and is so beautiful. Our friend Jeff Hiller again, doing absolutely incredible work on that show.

Kyle Kanane has a new comedy special out that's very funny. We were talking about Joni recently. The folks in our care in Dalton has a beautiful documentary about her called in my own time. I loved American born Chinese. Are you watching American born Chinese? Oh, no, I haven't watched it yet.

Holy shit, this show's good. American born Chinese based on an incredible comic. So I, not just is the show fantastic, a reunion of almost everybody from everything everywhere all at once. The show is fantastic, but the comic is fantastic. So I can't recommend it enough. If you like the show or if you want to get into it, this is a great entry way for young people comic, this is a good comic for young people. This is another great coming of age story. I love them. I'm going to shout out one thing too. If you're not watching Star Trek, Strange New Worlds, new season has started.

And I really like this show. It's, it is, like technically a prequel, but it's a week by week, episodic, fun Star Trek show, back to basics, not mired in a lot of the stuff that I think a lot of people have been reacting negatively towards even though that seems to be where they're following up with more shows, but this is a nice clean slate.

And I like, I like a lot of the new stuff too, but yeah. That's a great segue for my last recommendation, which is predicated entirely on you. Oh, I have watched season three of Picard and holy shit. Am I right? Fantastic. Isn't it great? Isn't it great? Isn't it great? Fantastic.

And this is coming from someone who I've not watched any other seasons of Picard. Nope. You did get it. Great. That's the only the most cursory knowledge of Star Trek. The next generation. I'm not a, this is not a, I don't know the canon. I don't know the history.

I don't know any of this stuff, but it didn't matter at all. This was exciting. How great is it? It's a who done it in space. I mean, great self-contained, who does, it felt like what I was saying a couple of weeks ago, but all these Agatha Christie's that I've been watching. Yes. It felt like a self-contained mystery in space, though.

I loved it. And I mean, can we just say Jonathan Frakes, amazing performance, amazing performance, right? And then I just have to shout out Michael Dorn as well. You know, I wanna call out one thing because Avril Halley are amazing movie picking producer. She heard us have this conversation about murder mysteries, right? And so she wrote me and she goes, I want to give you a few recommendations.

So these are Avril recommendations. And I can speak to one of them, which I love. The Last of Sheila, 1973 written by Stephen Sondheim with Anthony Perkins. The cast is phenomenal. This movie is amazing. It was brought to my attention by Ryan Johnson. I think when he was talking about the inspirations for a nice app. She said her personal favorite, Perot adaptation was the evil under the sun. Peter used to know. Oh, okay. Yeah. Peter used to know is Poirot in a bunch of

them. Yes. I haven't seen that one. I've seen some of the other ones. And then she said, uh, death trap, so funny, so cynical, so twisted. I don't want to spoil anything else. So those are three great recommendations from April who we forcer to pick shitty movies, but also has amazing taste, uh, across the board. So I wanted to give her a shout out. Oh, no, that's good.

And those are good wrecks. Okay. Good. I'm glad. All right. Great. Oh, Jason, that's good. And those are good wrecks. Okay. Good. I'm glad. All right great Oh Jason. We will talk again soon. I'm run. All right. Bye. Bye All right. Thank you Jason for just chatting with me just giving advice with me. Uh, I hope we gave you some good Recommendations there, but now that we got milk money out of the way let's talk about next week's movie We're going from boys learning to fuck to Ben Affleck in a what the fuck movie. That's right. Next week we are watching Robert Rodriguez's 2023. That's right. 2023

thriller hypnotic. It just came out a few weeks ago and boy oh boy, it's a doozy. Here's a short breakdown of the plot. A detective investigates a mystery involving his missing daughter and a secret government program. Actually, that's pretty concise. Rotten Tomatoes gives us a 35% score on the tomato meter. And James Baradini from Real Review says, this is what happens when a less talented director tries to make a Christopher Nolan movie. Ooh, shots fired. Anyway, listen to the trailer. Are you familiar with the concept of hypnotics? Hypnotics.

Hypnotics. Hypnotics have the ability to influence the brain. It's very hot today. To make you see a version of the wall that doesn't exist. I have to know everything. Now look, Hypnotic just came out in theaters last month. It's already available to rent as a premium VOD title, and I know it's going to be expensive. So I'm going to say this. Please try to watch it. But if you can't, I think you will be able to get it nonetheless. Maybe watch a clip or two just so you get an idea of what we're talking about. But again, I think you're going to get it. Now, before we wrap up the episode, I want you to check out this bonus scene from

our milk money show where we answer an audience member's question about the scene between Melanie Griffith and Philip Bosco. Okay, yes, your question. Uh, yeah, to get back to the $250,000, she spends all that in this suburb that's what, like a couple hours bike ride outside of the town. Immediately after. By the way, she walks home. So I think it's, I think it might be 45 minutes out. In heels.

If that. And she does it immediately after getting her freedom from the guy that the money is stolen from. And right after he tells her that he just murdered Malcolm McDowell, like there's no concern about this blowing back to her. Well, that's what I, that's. I really, we can't get into those details.

Well, I had a real question about that scene because they set up, and maybe I'm wrong, but that's the only time we see Phil Bosco in the whole movie. Correct it. It did feel they gave him a way to like, well, here she comes with you again. And you're like, how have we seen?

Well, but that's like, there's a moment. He's been mentioned. He's been mentioned, but not seen. This feels like a scene we miss. But there's just a moment where he's like, I'd like to have my freedom. And he goes, you're good to go. And then she walks for the door,

and you want him to go into a full monologue. But if you go, let me tell you about your life. No, she just leaves. That's it. Like, you're gonna go for the shock. He's given that we've been kind of running for the last two hours. The movie's also such a delicate balance.

If you get too deep in the weeds of the crime story, you really have to look at the harsh reality that these children are in abject harm. Like they are on the precipice of disaster. So you really have to broad strokes the crime story so that you can get on board for the romance with the coming of age stories. That's what one would argue,

you don't even need the crime story? It doesn't do anything. Of course you do, Paul. Of course you do. Paul, I think you need it. I think what happened, my, what I was working with, no, I think what happened is that there probably was a different ending.

There probably was something different that was going on with Johnny the Pope or Jerry the Pope. But, and there were probably different stakes at the end. But I think what happened is they started filming and saw how good this little boy actor was. Incredible. How good Melanie is, how good at her is, is what these scenes feel like?

What they feel like. And I think they said, you know what? Fuck it, we want them to be together. Who's saying this? Them. All of us. All of them are. K-P humanity.

So are you saying in the middle of the movie, the director's like, we need to change the third act? Richard Benjamin's like, you know what? I think so, because they are walking such a fine line here of how much we as an audience can take. And we also have to explore other characters, or we've got Kevin's dad, and we've got this one in that one. I don't understand why Casey Smanzko has a wine rack by the front door where you would put your keys

Why isn't it in the kitchen? We got to go deeper on that character. Oh, I keep my wine in the foyer All right people that is it Please remember to rate and review the show it helps and if you listen on Apple podcasts Make sure you are following us on that you can visit us on social media at HDTGM.
