How Did This Get Made? - Ronal the Barbarian LIVE!

Episode Date: March 22, 2024

Paul, Jason, and a delighted June dive balls deep into the 2011 raunchy Danish animated comedy Ronal the Barbarian—a film that asks, "What if you took a kids movie, but made the villains Lord of th...e Rings style leather daddies?" LIVE from Brooklyn, they discuss the boob slap scene, the villain's hairy butt crack, how this is actually a movie for women, and so much more. Plus, Paul asks the weighty question, "Are men's boobs boobs?" and we're introduced to John Dillermand—a Danish cartoon about a man with a long, sentient penis.  UPCOMING TOUR DATES IN: Belfast, Dublin, Glasgow, & London!

Starting point is 00:00:00 It's how to train your dragon but replace dragons with balls. No, literally there are balls in this movie. We saw Ronald the Barbarian. So you know what that means. I'm the man who's forcing me to go back to this belly I can't stop this one with me, Justin and Kelly I'm ready to see a bird last show with Nick Crowe And take a bullet speed to hit the hoops control J.D. big call in the pool to do it Gonna take you from the pool while the wheel is rolling

Starting point is 00:00:56 Julis making sure all the monkey shots get paid Man, just a bunch of movies while they're making the grade Here's a real question for you, how did this kid pay? What's up people of ours and what's up people of Brooklyn? We are live at BAM to talk about the first animated movie ever on how did this get made. Ronal the Barbarian is about a weakling barbarian descendant from a long line of the strongest barbarians who goes on a quest to beat a bad guy. I don't know. This movie is R. It's weird. It's really just a simple kids movie, but with a lot of shits and fucks and, like I mentioned, balls.
Starting point is 00:01:53 It's like what a 12-year-old might do in his bedroom to, like, fan dub a movie, like, fuck you, you asshole. Eat shit, cocksucker. It feels like the curses are just snuck in there willy-nilly. And I loved it. And to break down this movie tonight,
Starting point is 00:02:17 I have two of the best. Two of the best animation experts, two of the best barbarian experts. Please welcome to the stage, Mr. Jason Manzoukas! What's up jerks! How we doing Brooklyn? That's right BAM, why did you make me watch this movie? It was a beautiful day in New York! I sat in a hotel room and I watched this piece of shit for you!
Starting point is 00:02:51 Jason. Paul. I felt like this movie was gonna be right up your alley. Why? What? I take offense to that. I feel like that's the meanest thing you've ever said to me. I just thought...
Starting point is 00:03:11 I just see you watching and be like, oh, Jason's gonna love this. I think people thought you might have picked it. I don't pick anything. I'm subjected to these just as much as you are. Sure. I did not like this. I didn't like, you know, is it really the first animated movie you've ever done?
Starting point is 00:03:35 Yes, the first animated movie I've ever done. I was like, okay, cool, animation movie, great. I love animation movies. Boom, put it on, and within, I'm going to say one minute, one of my very first notes is what the fuck is this? It does jump out at you, but I'll tell you, I know you watch this in your hotel room. Our next co-host, well, we watch it together
Starting point is 00:03:58 while eating brunch. In a restaurant? In a restaurant. On separate iPads. That wait staff has a lot to say to each other. And we both were laughing pretty loud and I gotta tell you, I think she might have enjoyed it more than all of us. Please welcome my other co-host, June Diane Raphael.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Welcome June. Hello Paul, how are you? I'm well, how are you? Okay. I'm gonna say it right here, I'm gonna say it loud, and I'm gonna say it clearly, I enjoyed this film. No! I enjoyed it! Holy shit! Here's, this is, this is, I think, is it possible we have Freaky Friday'd this tour? I liked last night's horny romance movie
Starting point is 00:05:07 and thought for sure you would. I hated it. And Paul thought for sure that I would like the animation and you loved it. And I was with you, Paul. I was like, as I was walking here, I was like, Jason's gonna be so happy. Jason's gonna have loved it.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Who do you think I am? I'm gonna talk in therapy about this. Who do you think I am? I'm gonna talk in therapy about this. Listen, it flew by. Well, it's an hour and 20 minutes. Thank God. That's the best news I had all day. You're telling me you didn't have some real laughs during this movie?
Starting point is 00:05:40 No. I will say. Paul did, Paul did, I did. I'm sure I did, but I was really like shocked at how absolute dog shit this was. Honestly, Jason, loosen up. That being said, you're right. I was in the hotel in bed suffering from jerk off elbow so the tagline for this movie is babes balls and muscles in 3d for the whole family oh wait there's a 3d version of this animation we just watching with 3d glasses at brunch wait what is 3d animationD animation? I think 3D animation is this style of animation.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Like 2D animation is more like Beauty and the Beast, and then 3D animation is like Toy Story. Like that, a little bit more three-dimensional. Now here's what I'll say. This movie came out in 2011, and if you go to find it on your Amazon or anything like that, a streaming service, it is put next to children's films. I might, one of my main questions was, who is this for?
Starting point is 00:06:53 Because it presents like it's a how to train your dragon, a crude, a something like that. And boy, oh boy, is it not. It is from the jump close-ups of balls and crotches and titties and I was like what? The first joke is I mean the opening is kind of very traditional right you're seeing this this opening of like this big battle cool characters and then someone cool characters? I thought they were kind of cool looking right? Yeah you're a big Kron head.
Starting point is 00:07:25 You love Kron. You won't stop talking about Kron. I mean, come on. When Kron's fighting, I'm like, cool. So, the... When Kron bleeds for seven days and seven nights and everybody drinks his blood. So cool! Kids! Everybody! Kids, right? This is for you, right? But here's what I would say. That open. you have a little kid drinking it, he's like,
Starting point is 00:07:47 gets muscles, and then that little weak, like, barbarian drinks just a drop, and either his dick or balls grow big. I don't know which one. That's when I, that is literally when I wrote, what the fuck is this movie? Right, because up until that point. I rewound. I rewound to be like, is that what happened? Well, I think one of the reasons why I enjoyed it, and I'm not too proud to say that, I enjoyed it. Maybe the movie is for me.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Maybe I'm the intended target. But I- We have finally broken June. I think this movie is for me. It's taken 13 years. But I also, Paul, you had, there was a lot of setup going into this movie. There's a lot of talk about, it's an animated movie, June, like get ready. And I was like... You had to be prepped? I did.
Starting point is 00:08:35 I was like, Paul, I got to work out this morning because I'm going to have to let some energy out before I sit down and watch this. I mean, I was prepped for such a nightmare. And again, because we had done Jonathan Livingston Siegel here in New York. You're welcome. You're welcome. You loved it.
Starting point is 00:08:55 You loved it. That I was like, I guess we're giving another gift to the city we love. And I'm going to have to suffer through this. And you had also said it's a sex comedy you said those words a number of times well I do think a number of times he kept on saying we're gonna watch an animated sex comedy I said it once once and I was like okay I don't know what that could mean I don't know what this is gonna be so then when it went down so smoothly.
Starting point is 00:09:26 This movie. So smoothly. This movie should be in the restricted section with the pornos at the rental store if that exists. Here's what I wanna say about the comedy and why I believe this movie's sense of humor is elevated. What is happening? Wow.
Starting point is 00:09:43 There's the comedy. And this is what you might have missed Jason if you weren't watching closely. This is my favorite episode of the show so far. Go ahead. There's a comedy. You are tearing team Fred apart. Sorry. There's the comedy in the foreground, the scenes and there's some built in comedic beats to those scenes, some funny lines. But what you may have missed, and I suspect you did, is the background comedy in this movie. The BGC?
Starting point is 00:10:12 Yeah, the background pieces, the ADR, the things that are on the, the throwaways on the side, the stuff they added in months after the animation had ended, that's where the real jokes were. And that's where it was genuinely very funny. What I found about this movie is it's kind of like all the perverted jokes that you hear. It's like, oh, did you see in The Little Mermaid, the castle actually looks like a dick? Or in The Sun, there's an image of tits and lion king.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Please stop sending me those. But I'm aware of them now. You get it. You get it. Keep sending me those images. But sometimes they're high res. Joe Camel's nose has a dick in it. Joe Camel is still a thing. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:11:00 No Joe Camel. No Joe Camel heads. Jason saw this right before the show started. I said, I want to go back and watch the opening scene again. When I tell you, never in my life have I witnessed June re-watch part of a movie, willingly in the green room, interrupting a delightful conversation we were having about New York City. She was like, excuse me, I just need to re-watch the beginning.
Starting point is 00:11:29 I saw that before I went out here and it unnerved me. And I'll say this. And not only that, sorry, Paul, but Jason said, oh, oh, I'm so sorry, you haven't finished it. And I go, oh no, I want to watch the first scene again. Oh, yeah. Because it's not uncommon. It's not uncommon for us to need to finish the movie when we're in the green room or something the last 10 minutes or something. But for you to have finished it and want to bring all your gear, that means you brought your iPad to the wow. I did. see it again. You didn't bring all your gear. That means you brought your iPad to the, wow. I did.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Forget it. I did, and not only that, but what I just wanted to say is on second viewing of that opening, the first 10 minutes. Is this a second opinion? The second viewing of the first 10 minutes of the film, I had noticed one of our villains had red marks on his ass. And I didn't know why. one of our villains had red marks on his ass.
Starting point is 00:12:27 And I didn't know why. And then when I rewatched it just about 20 minutes ago, I saw that to get the horse going, he had been saying, hi-yah, and whipping his own ass. And I laughed. And if you forgot that scene. You missed that the first time? I missed that. I missed that in the first viewing.
Starting point is 00:12:42 I wrote it in my notes. I did too, and I'm gonna say say that's even longer than the first 10 minutes if you watch that deep in. Because check out scene four, just so if everyone can get on the same page as June. Here we go. All sons of Kron are gathered, Lord Varkazai. Then the time has come. Crotch.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Cool characters. Now, I will say what I noticed in watching that again is that that character is kind of an S&M character. I didn't get that. Oh, is it? Oh, oh, oh, oh, I didn't get it. I didn't notice. Oh no, I love the movie. Until seeing it on the big screen, I didn't notice that it's...
Starting point is 00:13:32 This is a movie that needs to be watched on the big screen. This is, yeah, we should, I advocate we stop doing the podcast and just watch the movie here. And I am shocked that no one's here dressed as characters from this movie. This movie is like, what if a kid's movie, but the villains are Lord of the Rings style leather daddies. And that's what we're doing. I would also- Later it's ball gags.
Starting point is 00:13:57 I was like, what? Even the book, where the book is on the roof of the elvish thing, is somebody like... I loved it. The lectern? Loved that part. The lectern? I thought that was clever. Clever?
Starting point is 00:14:14 I did too, Paul. I did too. Show your sons this movie. Well, that's what I'm afraid of. But I will argue this, that maybe June is onto something because according to the Nordic Film and TV website, this film opened very high, and not only did it open high, it is in the top five of the most, yes. Where?
Starting point is 00:14:39 The Nordic Film and TV website. Where is that? In the Nordic area. Yeah. You know, we often- The top film where? Where is that? In the Nordic area. You know we often... The top film where? In... with Youth 11 Plus in Denmark. Denmark.
Starting point is 00:14:52 This is a Danish movie, isn't it? Yes. Admit it. Yes. It is. It's a goddamn Danish movie. I said when we started this podcast, I said I will never do it. I told you... got Dane if Dane DeHaan is here I'm gonna be furious Dane's love this movie and it was a movie that was already supposed to be
Starting point is 00:15:21 for English and Danish audiences and and what I found weird though was yes, we're in this Conan the Barbarian world, but the English dub, and I watched both. No, I didn't. They really lean into the New Yorker version of this world. Like, hey, yeah, what do you want over there? Like, I was like, huh? I thought you meant the magazine, The New Yorker. Which I also would have loved. They have a monocle. But there was this energy where it was like,
Starting point is 00:15:51 their stereotypical American voices. There wasn't an energy to be like, we are all these kind of characters. It was like, no, no, we're just going to do like, hey, you piece of shit. You know, it's like. And I will now say, I did Google it, looked it up, and saw that all of the cast were Danish actors,
Starting point is 00:16:10 including my boy, Grand Admiral Thrawn himself, Lars Mikkelsen. Yes. Is a voice I guess in the, he's not in the version we saw though, is he? No, the one that we saw did have Brigitte Nielsen. She's the head of the Amazon Queen. She was amazing. of the Amazon queen.
Starting point is 00:16:25 She was amazing. And the Amazon, I will say the Amazon section was phenomenal. It's fantastic. I have no problem with that section. If they want to spin that off. I know. Here's the thing. Honestly, like this is what Amazon's jumping rope. I will get into it because I'm like, if we're going to go there, let's fucking go there.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Like, this movie feels like it is, like, we're an adult movie. But they don't show... That's what I'm saying. The movie is... thinks it's so close to being Heavy Metal, the movie. Yes. And it is not Heavy Metal, the movie. It is... it feels more to me like How to Train Your Dragon, unfortunately. With balls and-
Starting point is 00:17:07 So much balls. Balls have their own set piece. And it works. By the way- It works. That set piece, that set piece. This is the most insane June take in history. You're telling me that that scene of those balls
Starting point is 00:17:24 going up the staircase. Jumping around, it was. It was funny. That's funny. That's what I call comedy. And then it gets shot with tiny arrows. Perfect. I love those balls.
Starting point is 00:17:32 I had trouble... What? I love those balls too. Pull that quote. Pull that quote, put it in a song. Keep it in. Keep it in. But I couldn't figure out the physics of where the body was.
Starting point is 00:17:44 I was following the balls, but I was like, how would, where would the body be to get the ball? Frankly, the body hit the floor. But that sequence of, of the balls being out, like little bouncy things on a karaoke, you know, singing follow the bouncing ball. Yes. I thought it was such a crazy sequence. But it made me uncomfortable, especially when the codpiece
Starting point is 00:18:11 stared and we saw some fleshy balls. Well, OK, so that was my question. That was my question is, why was he still, why was his, why were his balls still covered by a leather satchel? So I think... Because Mousentia had to get naked to rub the invisibility stuff. No, you don't. You just have to rub it on yourself, I think, and then things get invisible.
Starting point is 00:18:35 So, yeah, that's where it ran out. I thought he walked around the stone so that he could take all of his... Not all of his clothes, but his... Him walking behind the stone appeared for no reason because it seemed like they just needed to get him off screen so we wouldn't see him not rubbing his balls. I guess, I don't know. I feel like what you were after, Paul,
Starting point is 00:18:57 was you wanted to see more like animated full sex scenes. And I think what must have happened, and maybe that's both of you on it, but I think what must have happened, and maybe that's both of you on it, but I think what must have happened was they must have for that rating had some sort of like negotiation of like, well, we can show balls, we can show real balls at one point in flesh,
Starting point is 00:19:20 but we can't have these others, like we can't have the scene actually with the Amazon women. My question would be because this has got to be rated R. It is. Just for language alone. So why couldn't you have like nudity? I'm not saying like show penetrative sex, although please show penetrative sex. We're in a world in which everybody's like I don't want sex in my movies, no more sex scenes. And I'm like, show penetrative sex in animated movies now.
Starting point is 00:19:50 It's such a tough platform to run on and yet you are. Listen, I am, I need your votes. His name is Woody for a reason. And you're running for Speaker of the House. I'm running for Speaker of the House. Wow. That's right. My only platform. We need Congress needs to get back to work and we need full penetration in our animated movies.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Full funding, a full penetration animated Pixar movies. That's it. That's it. Bring it hap- oh boy. There is, but to me I felt like I don't need to see sex, but maybe some boobs too. Maybe some dicks. Okay. Why are we seeing?
Starting point is 00:20:31 Why are we seeing boobs? They don't even make them sexual, but like, it's just like, it's a- I feel like I saw a lot of boobs personally. I didn't see any and I wanted to. Covered. They were barely covered. Covered.
Starting point is 00:20:44 They were barely covered, but covered still They were barely covered but covered still. Gross. When they go to that Amazon tribe and he was used as a mating device. Show us that you cowards. Show us that you Danish cowards. I did feel bad for him because he's clutching at his dick and balls for that whole scene. You know what could have happened? Yeah, like they really- The best night of his life! But that- See here's the thing- Do you think Ronal was a virgin? Well, okay, so I- this was the only problem I had with the movie, and I mean only,
Starting point is 00:21:16 is I never knew if Ronal- Ronal? Ronal. Ronal was like- Ronal was- Scronal. Was like 14 or 42. I was like, at first, when we first saw him, I thought this is a 12 year old or a 16 year old.
Starting point is 00:21:35 And then as the movie progressed, we got some close up shots of him. And I did think the way that this movie deals with body hair and animates it, I found it to be so, almost too realistic. You know? In the scene that we just saw, with the ass whipping on the horse,
Starting point is 00:21:57 he has a hairy butt crack. That's what I'm saying. Somebody in Denmark animated a hairy butt crack cell by cell. This is what I'm saying. Almost too much. They took all the freaks that put all that crazy shit in Disney movies, like come over here and let your freak flag fly.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Like there were a team of animators for months working on little balls, a ball sack, just running around. What are you working on? Oh, I'm working on the the ball set. To the Nutcracker Suite, by the way. Talk about layers of jokes. There it is right there. That's exactly right. Like you have to be awake for this movie. You have to be awake and watching. You missed it. It'll fly by you.
Starting point is 00:22:41 I did like... Talking about some of the backgrounds, if I did write this down, I did laugh at like when they saw a scene of like warriors being attacked, there was an arm coming out of somebody's asshole. What? Oh no, a sword put in somebody's ass and then an arm like shoved into someone's mouth. So that's the background you gotta watch.
Starting point is 00:23:03 And that's some solid jokes. Again, it's in the background. Let go of the foreground, you know, as a concept and really train your eyes to see the background. Maybe we need to re-watch this in a future episode, but just the backgrounds. I mean... But anyway, but what I was gonna say about body hair is that Ronal... Careful. Ronal? Careful. Ronal.
Starting point is 00:23:28 In the close up shots, like he does have a lot of facial hair. Well, in fact, in the Amazons, they pluck one out of his face and are like, this woman has hair on her face. That was a funny sequence that they- Again, 10 out of 10 for the Amazons. When Ronal said, I don't know if it was Ronald or Elberta, when one of them said-
Starting point is 00:23:48 You know the other names? The bard, I don't know what his name was. The other guy, Elberta. Is it Elberto? It's Alibert. Alibert. Right? When Alibert says-
Starting point is 00:24:02 Can I just say for a brief moment, it is absolutely categorically insane that you remember side character names from one of our movies. He stayed with me. This is next level. I love every minute of this. But when he said, wait, we're women?
Starting point is 00:24:22 I laughed so hard. I mean, that fully, like Soup to Nuts, that's a great sequence. The Amazon sequence is a great sequence. Nuts. Soup to nuts. Soup to nuts. Well, let's actually see that Amazon scene. Great. Scene nine. Are those real? Let's actually see that Amazon scene. Great. Scene 9. Uh, just a second. I'm about to lose control. Take me! Take me hard! Mama's home!
Starting point is 00:25:08 Let me eat your baby! Bring out the woman in me! Take me hard! Stop! I found you very sexy, Miss Queen, but my friend needs me and I have to go. What? Listen, just have your girls
Starting point is 00:25:25 capture me get on my way back I didn't I wanted Alibert to get love at the end I agree and I felt like they had a connection there but she chose to say to go and help his friend but yeah I mean like he can get at least something going but this is the thing I wasn't worried about him. I wasn't focused on him. Here's my issue with that this movie. You're all Roanel all the time. All the time, all day long. But there's a there's a thing and I guess by the way Brigitte Nielsen only did the Danish version because that's definitely not. It does look like her though. It does look like her. It definitely animated to her. Yes and it's odd they didn't just take her to do it. They have a southern woman being the head of the Amazon's. Bizarre choice. I'm sorry though when she takes one boob and slaps him across the face with it. What more? We work so hard. We have such difficult lives. Like that made me laugh. Is that so wrong?
Starting point is 00:26:23 Like that made me laugh. Is that so wrong? No And I'm sure I'm sure for some people for some people that is how a fetish is born. I Want that to happen to me? there is something though about this movie where I feel like again, I just want to go back to this idea that I Just wanted them to push it a little bit more because at the end of the movie it just becomes a straight-up Lord of the Rings like the end of the movie is just like oh we're just watching a battle nothing it's just like fucking dick like that's like those are just shot in to be like no no it's still adult don't worry about it like but I feel like that's the thing that bummed
Starting point is 00:27:02 me out that the bookends were just a basic movie with weird ADR in the background. And I really just wanted, you know, maybe defeat them with your dick, defeat them with your balls. Like, let's do that. Do you think these, do you think they thought they were making
Starting point is 00:27:17 a sausage party-esque, raunchy, blah, blah, blah? Or were they making a, you know, slightly more risque movie for young people? Well I will tell you that this is what the director said. After decades of Pixar, now Rango and Wreck-It Ralph, which are solid movies. Love Rango. Rango's great. Which are solid movies.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Audiences have matured. Yes, we have. And people are catching up and trying to make films that match American movies in terms of story and character. So that was his idea. He was like, hey, if you saw Wreck-It Ralph, now you want to see Wreck-It Ralph's balls. Like, let's grow with the audience.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Like Taylor Swift, let's start with the audience. Like Taylor Swift, let's start them young and then pull them into their 30s and 40s. I'd rather see Fix-It Felix's balls. I'd rather Jack McBrayer be like, y'all this is crazy. Bonk bonk bonk. Fix it! By the way, in 2016 a Chinese company did buy the rights to this film because they are going to make a live action remake. How fantastic. That will be... Can we just announce that will be the final episode of the podcast?
Starting point is 00:28:35 Whenever it comes around to it, probably not for a while, that will be the final episode. Oh, my God. You're going to tell me though, Jason, in the world of all of the movies we've had to watch, that you didn't enjoy this? Oh, it was fine, it was fine. It was just, it, I guess I'm butting up against
Starting point is 00:28:54 a little bit of, my sausage party question is kind of what I wanted. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it was just a complete embracing of the insane gonzo nature of it. Sure. That movie I could have gone on board for, the version of it that is an actual, like, that I'm meant to care about the Samwise character coming to the rescue and the fellowship
Starting point is 00:29:16 coming back together and defeating the bad, like all of the plotting, I was like, no, no, no, no, just give me nonsense set pieces, and I'll enjoy this more. But I think the movie wanted us to care about the dumb quest. The quest. Which in the back, when you were playing the trailer and we were listening in the back, June said, why couldn't he just go on a quest? I did ask that. Which is a valid question.
Starting point is 00:29:41 I did ask, like, why was he so against going on a quest? Why is he so quest-averse? Yeah. They never really underlined a couple of things that we needed. He didn't want to be a part of it. I guess that's my question for the barbarians. You know, what kind of- The barbarians that are here tonight?
Starting point is 00:30:01 All of them. Well, they're all up there. They're all on that. Oh, yeah. No, the barbarians- They're all there them. Well, they're all up there. They're all on that. Oh, yeah. No, they're on the balcony. They're all there. The barbarians are up there. This, the mezzanine, these are very respectful people.
Starting point is 00:30:13 But why, I wanted to know what kind of quests had they been on before? What happened? Well, the barbarians are super strong. They defeat everybody who comes to them. But we never see that. And the minute they are challenged, they are so easily crushed. Like, it is really like, you know what? I think they deserve to go extinct. You know?
Starting point is 00:30:37 They're literally defeated by like Lord Zerg. It does look like they are like, somebody saw Toy Story, like, that's our villain. Like, it's like, this is the Lord Zerg. But I will talk about saw Toy Story like that's our villain like it's like this is the Lord Zerg But I will talk about the shield maiden because that's our love interest and that's our heart of the story Shield maiden was interesting to me because she was a fighter But it seems like if you're a shield maiden You wouldn't have a sword If you're a shield maiden now, that's interesting. That's
Starting point is 00:31:02 If you're a shield maiden. Now that's interesting. That's a good point. Like I wouldn't go through all the the happens as a shield maiden shield maiden and then be like but she fights and looks exactly like anybody else in this movie that we've seen. She is dressed just like a barbarian.
Starting point is 00:31:18 She's looking for the barbarians. And in the very brief flashback because I was like oh maybe we'll meet more shield maidens and everybody seems to know immediately upon seeing her, oh, you're a shield maiden. Nothing. I don't ever understand anything about it. Okay, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:31:32 But yeah, it doesn't that just connote that she would be carrying the shield? Simple as that. Just give me a shield for a character who is called shield maiden. Like, it does seem like... Listen, it's a movie, you know, not everything's gonna... This... I'm gonna remind you of this.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Just let it go. What was last night's movie called? Beautiful, beautiful disaster. I would so much rather the nonsense and the jokes the hilarious jokes in that movie than in this movie because I laughed so much more we are having wow June I don't know you we have to go to couples therapy don't know you at all we have to go to team Fred therapy we will show this in couples therapy we should go on the Showtime show couples therapy and
Starting point is 00:32:23 show clip five and then see who found it funny because I think that therapist on couples therapy would find it very funny here we go Shut the fuck up ugly! What do you want? Uh, we were looking for a guide. There's only one left. In the back behind the shitter. Ask for Elric. Hey! Who wanted a beer in a government hat?
Starting point is 00:32:56 Get you another one of these! Okay, thanks. Great character, fun character. That fairy is stacked. That fairy also is serving Manhattans. Yes, a double Manhattan. A double Manhattan. Well, she can never find its rightful owner, though.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Including when the place blows up. She dies trying to deliver a double Manhattan? The women of this movie, you know, I do think that the movie has more of a feminist bend than maybe both of you are ready to see. Oh no, I think you're right. I think it's there. I mean, the most, the fiercest worry in their party is the female character. Absolutely. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:43 And also like there are these side characters, her. And I would watch an entire movie about this bar wench. I would love to know how she ended up there. I'm with you. And also like we never, I wish. Paul, now we're back. June and I are back. We want a side movie of the fairy waitress who has human-sized D tits. Trust her.
Starting point is 00:34:08 I'm listening. I'm listening. If I'm going to get any side character, it would probably be the oracle who needs his asshole wiped. But... Are you the nurse? The nurse to just wipe his ass? What? Who comes intermittently when he shits? But anyway, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Like, he goes, are you the nurse as if she shows up occasionally? Oh, I see. Like, it's like, oh, like it's like almost like he has a medical alert braces, like, time to take a shit, ding, you know, and then the nurse comes in. Be careful of the hemorrhoids. What I found disgusting about this movie.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Everything? Well, it goes there with that like little arrows into balls I'm like ooh you know and I'm like and then in that moment where he wipes the characters ass the next scene he's like sniffing his own fingers and wiping it he's he's washed wiping his finger so much I was like, what is this? This is incredible. But then he gags, he gags on smelling the shit finger
Starting point is 00:35:08 and I'm like, ooh, that's more upsetting to me than anything I could possibly ever see. I feel like this movie is about leather daddies, shit play, cock and ball torture. Like this entire movie is built off of Pornhub categories Now would you be surprised? Would you be surprised to know that in the new Saw movie Saw 10? Every one of the characters being held hostage is being forced to watch this. That's the only trap
Starting point is 00:35:39 I would not be surprised. Are you leaving? Already surprised. Are you leaving? Already? We just got started. So sorry, Paul. Do you have somewhere to be? I will sit back down. I'm trying to second at Gutenberg tonight. Sit down. I am happy to sit down. Relax! I've barely touched my notes. These people, most of them probably, a lot of them probably got a sitter. Let's hear from whoever got a sitter. Yes!
Starting point is 00:36:15 Parents night out, getting sloppy at BAM, hand jobs outside. I will say, for the record, this is the time I normally go out, but I will sit here, because I have a lot more notes myself. So much, there's so much titty twisting in the movie. Well. That I was like.
Starting point is 00:36:38 And it's wonderful because there's so, it's wonderful. It's wonderful. Because, I will say, it's wonderful. It's wonderful. Because I will say it's not every day where you see a movie present like men's nipples. As such a- Beers, beers. Piers nipples as such a like-
Starting point is 00:36:58 You guys are right, I should not have gone into the crowd. This is great. Continue. As such an area of like fixation. Like we really have to spend a lot of time. Everybody's got full on nipple clamps and harnesses. And by the way, that's when you guys said there aren't enough boobs in this movie,
Starting point is 00:37:15 I was like, I feel like I've saw many boobs. Oh, you're right. You're right. They were men's boobs, but there were boobs. All the bad guys' boobs. Are men's boobs, but there were boobs. All the men, all the bad guys men... Are men's boobs boobs? No. Now we're, see, now I'm glad you're not in the audience.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I agree. Because it's, our men's boobs boobs is the t-shirt, without a doubt. That seems like a borders on the dirty. But I think it's our men's boobs boobs question mark Paul Scheer. It's very much so where does the butt start? Yeah. In that area. Can you call men's boobs boobs? Of course. Yes. Really? Yes. Wow. Audience? Audience can? They're breasts. Are men's boobs boobs? They're breast plates. Yeah. Or do, are men's boobs boobs? Breast plates, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Or do we call men's boobs like a chest or something different? Chest. What is that? Balcony is with me. Can we get house lights? What is the or... some librarian I'm gonna guess. Is there a librarian here who can tell me the etymology of boobs? Where did we get boobs from? Don't force a librarian to... No, I only want a librarian here who can tell me the etymology of boobs? Where did we get boobs from? Don't force a librarian to... No, I only want a librarian.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Is there a medical doctor in the... We have to have a medical doctor in the house. Oh, is there a boob doc in the house? No? Cowards. Oh, back here. Back there. Back there.
Starting point is 00:38:40 I see one. Okay, hold on. I'm going. What are you going to ask? Are men's boobs boobs? All right. Where... who do we have? Hi, how are you? Yeah OBGYN family medicine Well, what's her name for your service? Okay, and to true or false you'll be doing pap smears in the in the lobby after all night great all night paps, baby
Starting point is 00:39:02 That's right best part. So yeah, men have breast tissue and those are moobs. Those are big... That's a technical term? No. What? But yes, so breast tissue on both.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Yeah, we got to do like... Like if you have a mass in a male, you have to still do a massogram. Okay. And it's still breast cancer, I assume. Yes, it is. Thank you. All right, we did it. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Great work. Fantastic. Great work. It always makes me worried when doctors listen to the podcast. We need it. Well, I answered that question. I should have asked her about the butt too. I like the idea of a doctor performing surgery and being like, you know, I'm just going to
Starting point is 00:39:48 play something while I do this. As they're putting the propofol in, they're like, come back from 10, 10, 9. And it's like, boom, how did this get me? Oh my gosh. I did have a colonoscopy recently and and the anesthesiologist, so cool, I know, and the anesthesiologist literally seconds before putting the propofol in my body went, big fan, man. No.
Starting point is 00:40:14 No. No. Big fan, man. Big fan, big fan, man. And I was like, cool, bro, get ready to see the inside of my asshole. That's wild, wild stuff. Wild stuff.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Big fan. Big fan, man. I can't believe I have the chance to kill you. Big fan, man, you're gonna feel a little cold and then you're gonna have the best sleep of your life. Robbie. Oh no. I didn't know you could be put out for colonoscopies. That's great
Starting point is 00:40:47 news. You can be. I simultaneously had an endoscopy as well. Not simultaneously, but in the same. So that's, you don't have to be put out for a colonoscopy. I'd prefer to be. And you guys didn't want me to go out into the crowd. See, we would have missed all of this gold. Cut out all of this stuff about my colonoscopy from the podcast. That's just for you, Brooklyn. Wow, man. That's right, Brooklyn gets the butt stuff.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Brooklyn loves butt stuff. There are some weird turns of phrase in the film. It says like, mama's tits can't save you now. Could they ever? Yes, actually. And I felt like that was an interesting moment because again, you guys, you might have missed a lot. You might've really missed a few things
Starting point is 00:41:48 because when we cut into that bar scene, there's a whole discussion, there's like a lot of mom jokes. And then that one villain guy who threatens to fight Zandra at the end of that scene. Yeah, I know her name. Never before. Never before. Never before.
Starting point is 00:42:06 You can name three people's names. You don't remember my name sometimes. Wow. But that guy who comes out swinging at the end wanting to fight her and conquer her, when we cut into that scene, he's having a conversation where he's making some your mom jokes and
Starting point is 00:42:26 specifically like your mom's tits jokes. But then strangely, there's like a little pause and he goes, yeah, but I really do love my mom. Yes. And I was like... Yes. I heard that too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:41 I will say to your kind of background point, there is a, there are a ton of funny side, weird jokes that I only got because I had closed captioning on because they were a lot of times conversations that we were passing by. Every time, every time I mention turning on closed captioning, big pop from the audience. That's a middle-aged audience right there. By the way, last night as we were driving... Not a Gen Z in the house. Everybody's like, colonoscopies, yay! Closed captioning, yeah!
Starting point is 00:43:25 That's my story too! Gen Z has brought in closed captioning because of social media. It's a young thing. Closed captioning is a young thing. Wait a minute. Are there Gen Z people here? Thank you.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Get them out of here. I will say this, just talking about mom and mom jokes, on the way home last night from New Haven to here, our son called us and very seriously said, can I talk to you guys in private? And we said, yeah. And he goes, okay. Now, this is not true. And we're like, okay.
Starting point is 00:43:59 He's like, yeah, it's not true. And he pulled himself away from our nanny who was in the house, his little brother, and I was like, here we go. Whatever could this be? And he goes, okay, but this is not true. And we said, okay, all right. And he goes, your mom was so fat that when she sweats, it's maple syrup. And then-
Starting point is 00:44:33 Did he deliver it just like that? Just like that? He did because he really wanted to make sure we knew it wasn't true. He's like, that's not true. It's not true. And then did like four more, but in that cadence. Yeah. It's like there was a sadness to it.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Yeah. Just, I have to get these out. I'm so sorry. I just have to. I've got to say all of them. I have to say all of them. Your mama's teeth are so yellow that when she smiles at traffic, cars slow down. And I did say to him, I said, well, my mom's dead.
Starting point is 00:45:07 So this is really hurtful, actually. Please tell me he had dead mama jokes, because that's where this is going. But now, how about this joke? I know that you like that mama joke, but what about the jokes like, you're as boring as a yeast infection? That felt to me like, huh, boring, not a woman, but boring doesn't seem like the way you would describe a yeast infection.
Starting point is 00:45:35 This ye, I'm so bored of this yeast, this yeast infection is boring. You're as annoying as a yeast infection. How's your yeast infection boring? Honestly, I've never had one, I can't speak on it. I don't know, infection boring? Honestly, I've never had one. I can't speak on it. I don't know. Maybe they are boring. I've never had one. That was... My friend saw the Who at Madison Square Garden and Roger Daltry was on stage and the audience was like,
Starting point is 00:45:56 Yeah! And he goes, Viagra! Never needed it! Never will! And then the audience went like this. Huge mistake. it never will and then and then the audience like this and then he had to be like but it's okay all right now I'm going to the all right what okay it's okay all right so okay, it's okay All right, so who has questions you want to have a question come here all right you come to me all right your name James James all right give me your question about Ronald the barbarian Speaking of penetrative sex was the implication in the scene in the tavern the man was gonna fuck the goat on the second floor or the goat was gonna fuck him great question and
Starting point is 00:46:50 This is to the background jokes that June is the scholar of this movie June studying this movie like the Torah I actually don't remember that scene. I'm devastated to admit I don't remember that scene. Is it a goat's mouth tied shut? I remember it and it felt to me like the movie was going for the goat fucking him. Great. You know what? We need more goat fucking dudes.
Starting point is 00:47:22 I am in balcony one. Be careful Paul. Where are you? Which...oh there you are. Alright I have a question here from balcony one. Balcony one. Okay yes, what's your name? Luna. Luna, what's your question? If you were in charge of making a happy meal for this movie, what would you make the toy?
Starting point is 00:47:44 What would you make the toy? Great question. There's gotta be a couple of toys. There's gotta be a couple of toys. Because I feel like there's a couple of big items. Yeah, I definitely think that some sort of like strap on balls. Yep. Would be important. I was literally gonna say like Benoits would be a great thing. No, I think like a, I was gonna say like a pouch for your balls, like a ball pouch or, or just straight up nipple rings. That's great. Because everybody's got them.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Yeah. If not a character in this movie doesn't have pierced nipples, it's everybody. I would say a cigarette. So you could act out your little fantasy as like that bar wench. A loot, I guess? I think she was smoking a joint. Really?
Starting point is 00:48:30 I thought a cigarette as well, but I wish it was a joint. They definitely smoke out of bongs. Oh yeah. Like skull bongs. And they're like, good stuff, bro. It's like, what the fuck is this movie? Did anybody watch it in Danish? Are there any Danes in the house? Remember Jason hates the Danes fine. All right. Yes, you're who edit yes, Patrick Murphy. Thank you
Starting point is 00:48:56 Yes full names everybody Hey guys full name and profession like you're in the movie Address guys Hey guys full name and profession like you're in the movie Oh all of it and address guys don't talk to yourself security number last four digits in your social security number and then go ahead and ask your question mothers maiden name and then begin Murphy wait when I apologize for not remembering his name when Ronal mounts his dying guardian did you notice I wondered if you noticed that he did full face waterfall? Yes! He did, it was awesome.
Starting point is 00:49:29 I wrote that down. Wasn't it awesome, Paul? It was awesome. What? It was awesome? Well, we don't get to see face waterfalls and everything. Oh yes, no. We need more, we need to,
Starting point is 00:49:42 actually, the three of us need to commit to putting Face Waterfalls in as many projects once we're back to work as possible. Listen, I don't know, this is a real Easter egg, but in Burning Love, I did Face Waterfall Michael Cera. What? And nobody ever picked up on it. Wow, oh, that's awesome.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Here's a guy in an outcast shirt from our Jonathan Livingston Segal episode Great work. All right, your name your question Jason asked if there were any Danes in the house. My name is Dane Boom you did it. All right. Hey Dane. No, that's not what I meant. I So my question is especially for June what age should this be shown to children what what age when do we start yeah when do we start showing this to we don't hey we don't it's not a children's movie let me say that clearly it is out of curiosity D, do you have children? No. Okay, so for you, never.
Starting point is 00:50:46 So don't worry about it. Yeah, don't worry. For you, you shouldn't be showing this to any children. Totally fine. Dane. Balcony 1 is fucking creeps and weirdos. Who knew?
Starting point is 00:51:04 Hey, how old? When can I start showing this movie to children? Not ever. Not ever. Hey, kid, you want to see a movie? It's got balls in it. Not ever. Hey, you guys want to see a movie? I'm Dane.
Starting point is 00:51:21 And now I'm in the real balcony the upper balcony where the real balcony monsters are Wow and a Place that I had to take an elevator to get to it did not realize that now someone here has a ball gagging Am I right in that there are has a ball gag in their mouth. Yes I'm gonna come over to you. Great job. This is a tough costume to pull off. And I'm glad that you did it. Hi, how are you?
Starting point is 00:51:51 Hi, Paul. I'm well, how are you? What's your question? Okay. So I'm gonna give a little bit of context for this. So at the beginning of the film, we see the whole sequence when everyone drinks the blood of Kron, right?
Starting point is 00:52:11 When the little weakling gets the one drop, the only thing that gets big is his dick and balls, right? I kind of went into this assuming that Ronal is like descended from this person. But his uncle doesn't get the loser gene. So it's like, does it like skip a generation? Is it a recessive trait? And if so, why hasn't this been like eugenics out of the barbarian race?
Starting point is 00:52:41 June, you have met your historical match. Wait, so your question is pro-eugenics? To be clear, you took the ball gag out of your mouth to assert a pro-eugenics theory. This is... Wow, just when I thought balcony one was nuts. Upper balcony, absolute fucking heroes. Ha ha! Holy cow! It was great.
Starting point is 00:53:14 And I didn't know... Shouldn't Ronal be put to death? Because he's weak? She does ask a fair question in... in the sense that these barbarians, he doesn't seem to have offspring or where did it, you know, what happened. I also don't think that his dick and balls are that impressive. Ronal or the? Ronal.
Starting point is 00:53:38 How do you know? Because he doesn't use them to do anything. He fucks all the Amazons, Paul. But that's a side quest. By the way, sign me up for that side quest. He ain't so anti-quest, but he's like, I'll quest in this pussy. Your question.
Starting point is 00:53:58 So this is a fairly horny movie. Really? So why does everyone have flat Hank Hill asses? Great question. Where are them juicy asses at? Honestly, I thought about that too, because there were a lot of- What?
Starting point is 00:54:17 I did, I had that same question. Because there were, again, there was a lot of like nipple play in the movie, and there was a lot of like nipple play in the movie and there were a lot of emphasis on the male breasts, the male breast tissue and nipples. And not a lot of emphasis on the male buns. And I appreciated that new framing of the male body. Like, let's let go of the asses as an idea and let's focus elsewhere. Here's what I'll say. I felt like those are some flat pancake Danish butts. Oh you think so? But then, but then all of the Amazonian women had high and tight and high high high asses. Yep, they're not Danish.
Starting point is 00:55:06 They're Amazon. So you're saying all of the animators just drew themselves? Correct. Oh, interesting. Absolutely. By the way, every single one of them. Would it surprise you to know that the director and writer of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the Danish version, was a script consultant on this film?
Starting point is 00:55:24 No, it wouldn't. Wow. Holy shit, what? I'm gonna go to our other costume person. The audience, your name and your question. My name is Brooks and my question is, I'm wondering if you guys noticed in the credits there is someone named Trowell's Christofferson who is listed as... No one would ever know.
Starting point is 00:55:45 Oh, you were wondering if we noticed this. Yes. Were you surprised we haven't talked about it yet? Yeah. I guess I'm surprised you guys haven't mentioned that... I'm just a little surprised. In the credits, there's someone named Sherwell Christofferson, and that if you did a bit of research...
Starting point is 00:56:02 For me, I'm surprised. ...you might find out. I'm surprised. His title in the movie is Reindeer Wrangler. And I'm wondering what you thought his role might have been in this film. Wait a minute. That's a... Okay, hang on a second.
Starting point is 00:56:20 That's... Whoa. Reindeer Wrangler for... He plays the voice of the Reindeer Wrangler before That's the he plays the voice of the reindeer Wrangler. No It would mean that he's wrangling reindeer in what it's an animated movie I know but maybe there was some sort of like you think they were one of those caps You think there's reindeer with mocap suit I for this movie I think that Danish people the animators get hungry and they want fresh meat and that's like craft service to them.
Starting point is 00:56:47 So it's sort of like, oh yeah, feed the animators. They're working on this ball sequence. Okay, so I think the title is misleading. It's Chef. Paul, is it raining outside? You're soaking wet. I just ran up like four flights of stairs and ran down four flights. I'm wearing a sweater. It wasn't a good choice. You look great. It was a lot of stairs. It's hot up there. You're getting a workout tonight.
Starting point is 00:57:12 This tour, you're getting a workout. I did. I shouldn't have done the pushups to open the show. Okay, here we go. Obviously we have opinions about this movie, but there are some people who just agree with June. It's now time for second opinions. Isn't he scrawny, this barbarian?
Starting point is 00:57:42 Horny Pixar, come on Ronal He quests far so we go online And give it five stars because if there's something missing in my life, it's a floating ball sack Great job amazing Amazing job! Our last one. Here we go. You ready for it?
Starting point is 00:58:11 I feel good. I feel good about it. So here we go. I'll be honest. This is going to go great. Everybody else has sucked. Only up from here. And now it's time for second opinions. I'm Ashley. Five stars. Give it five stars.

Starting point is 00:59:21 Holy cow. So just so you know, normally when we do this. What about a Flintstones adaptation in this style I Would see that horny Flintstones. What was that comic that they made? They made like the adult mark Russell's comic is fantastic That's a great comic book. Okay, I will just there is an incredible Flintstones It's great book by Mark Russell. There's he also did an incredible snaggle push comic book. That is fantastic Check them out. I urge everybody to read them.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Okay. Normally, when we do this, we'll see how popular a film is. So say a smaller film that we do on the show, 400 reviews. You know, more popular film, couple thousand. This film, 20. Popular film, couple thousand. This film, 20. Are there...
Starting point is 01:00:08 Is it just that it is... So is it... Has it been out in English since 2011? Yeah, I mean, I've never heard of this film. Yes, it came out in 2011. Most of the reviews I'll be reading tonight are from 2013. Okay. Are any of them going to be in Danish?
Starting point is 01:00:24 They are. And a lot of, some of them are in French, some of them are in Danish, they're translated, so I won't read you the French or Danish. Oh damn. But M. David wrote this, Ronald the Barbarian is one of the funniest animated movies I've ever seen. June, is this your pen name? A movie that deserves to be known but not for children. Pass it on. Five stars and that's from French. That's that's a French reviewer okay reviewed in France. Get ready for this next one. Just wanted to kind of lay the groundwork with this. Rush and Schill in November of 2013 wrote a review titled Great Movie. And here we go. The Young Mariner Society is a small nautical
Starting point is 01:01:15 league of aspiring seafaring boys that I run from my boat here in Iowa. Hang on a second. This is a confession. I'm so sorry. True or false, Iowa landlocked? We spend countless nights on my boat just a few yards from the lake. Is this admissible in court? I'll turn it over to Lockhart and Gardner to figure out if they can figure it out. That's right, I'm into season five of The Good Wife everybody. Get ready when I show up. Who am I? Oh I'm a lawyer. Okay here we go. I love that show.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Eventually when the repairs are complete we'll take the boat out on the water. I know I worked those boys hard this summer. But it was the only way I knew how to prepare them for manhood. Much of their training was based off the television show Deadliest Catch, along with movies Cabin Boy and Down Periscope. What? Kids should not watch some of those. Upon graduation, several of my well-instructed little semen have taken upon themselves... No! Little semen?
Starting point is 01:02:33 That's the T-shirt. The Young Mariner Society little semen? That should be his shirt. Upon graduation, several of my well-instructed little seamen have taken upon themselves the distinguished title of Mariner. Winning the rope swinging competition this past summer with my boys, I gave them a night off from our rigorous activities. I just gotta remind everyone, this is an Amazon review. Yeah. I just don't want to get lost in the sauce. Like someone wrote this. This isn't an article where they're like, we uncovered this journal entry
Starting point is 01:03:05 from the most prolific Iowan pedophile in history. This is... Amazon review, okay? Winning the rope swinging competition this past summer with my boys, I gave them a night off from our rigorous activities to enjoy a little R&R with a movie night. Without a doubt, they earned it.
Starting point is 01:03:23 This movie was selected for its theme of maturation from boy to man. To everyone's delight, this movie was a hit. Family values galore and no home should be complete without it. Five stars. I don't know what's going on. Unless that has been written from jail. Without it. Five stars. I don't know what's going on. Unless that has been written from jail.
Starting point is 01:03:52 I am flummoxed by that. Now, I think a lot of you want to know where this came from and you know what I said this earlier today that this film out of a list of 542 titles the most popular films in Danish animation, Ronal the Barbarian is the second most popular film in their list after Ninjago, Masters of Spinjitzu. So it's Ninjago, Ronal. Wait, that's a Danish production? No, no, this is like the most popular films. Oh, I'm sorry, I get it now. I thought you meant that they themselves had produced, but now I understand.
Starting point is 01:04:31 No, this is just the list of the most popular. So the Ninjago movie and then Ronal, before a Toy Story or any Disney animation. A list of 542 movies. These are the top two. Now, you might be thinking, well, how did this movie come to be? Well, I want to tell you. I would ask, how did it get made? Well, I will tell you that the director of this movie was known for kind of pushing the
Starting point is 01:04:56 boundaries and continues to push the boundaries because in 2021, he released a new TV show called John Dillermund. Translation, John Penisman, or John Willimon, or John Dongman. And it's a Danish stop motion animated television series about a man and his very long penis. Long? I don't like long as a descriptor. Big, okay, long?
Starting point is 01:05:25 Concerning. John Penis Man is a middle-aged man who wears a red and white striped bathing costume and has a penis that can extend to a length of dozens of meters. Whoa. He uses his prehensile penis, which stretches through his clothes as a tool
Starting point is 01:05:41 to tame lions and fly like a helicopter. What? But his penis. Please tell me we're gonna watch as a tool to tame lions and fly like a helicopter. What? But his penis also... Please tell me we're gonna watch the first episode right now. But his penis also acts independently of John getting him into trouble. Oh, he has a sentient penis.
Starting point is 01:05:58 The series is aimed at four to eight-year-olds. Oh! It was on for two seasons. It is aimed at four to eight year olds. It was on for two seasons, had about 40 episodes, and upon release over 250,000 children viewed it. But mostly all on a boat in Iowa. Well I don't like that. All of those views are coming from a boat in Iowa that is up on cinder blocks. I don't like that one bit. And in fact, the more I sit with this movie, the more I'm like, I think only adult women
Starting point is 01:06:37 should watch this. I don't want anyone else watching it. You don't want them getting the wrong idea? This is a movie for women. That's it. I don't think it's right for anyone else. This is for us. I would love it if groups of women like they were going to the Barbie movie started going
Starting point is 01:07:03 to the Ronald the Barbarian movie. That's it. Dressed in like. I don't want other people watching it and getting the wrong ideas. And now we will watch the opening of John. Thank you. Thank you, Paul.

Starting point is 01:08:11 What the fuck? Then that's a kid's show. Four to eight year olds. Imagine if they tried to do an American adaptation of that. How much people would lose their fucking mind. They're trying to show us kids a man with a 12-foot dick. Well, now I'm going to say... I'm like obsessed with that. That is some nuts level stuff. Guys, we really fucking did it tonight. This was... I am shocked beyond belief by so much of what has transpired on this stage.
