How Did This Get Made? - Sinbad of the Seven Seas LIVE! w/ Jessica St. Clair

Episode Date: May 30, 2025

Honorary fourth host Jessica St. Clair returns to help Jason and Paul cover the 1989 Lou Ferrigno vehicle Sinbad of the Seven Seas—a movie that lies about being based on an Edgar Allan Poe story. LIVE from Boise, the gang discuss all the wild ADR, if Disney's Aladdin ripped off this movie, Italian talking snakes, how Sinbad inflated a hot air balloon simply by blowing into it, and so much more. Plus, Jessica reveals how the film reignited a primal sexual awakening and gives her theory on the best way to kill a zombie. Our movie picking producer Avaryl is fighting brain cancer and needs some words of support—messages, fan art, anything—to lift her spirits up.

If you don't like this movie blame Edgar Allan Poe We saw Sinbad or the seven seas so you know what that means I'm the best rock rippin' Justin McKelley I'm making see a bird last show with Nick Crowe And take a photo speed to hit the crew's control J. Liv, Dick Paul, and the beautiful Drew Gonna take you from the crew while the way this roll Rain again, the street fighter hope to blow off steam Just a sucker punch the on-line, so tip it to great shot Little the murder demig, how he standin' alive They call him when you're bad ass and he's on the line

Crankin' they skate limits cause they cool as ice Cause they're bad Jim Bonny looking kind and nice Paul and Joe getting literal, Jason is getting lame Julis making sure all the monkey shots get paid They're just a bunch of movies, one be making the grade Here's a real question for you, how did this kid pay? Hello people of Earth! Hello, people of Moise! Alright, we are live at the Tree Fort Music Festival to talk about a little film called Which shockingly came out in 1989. 1989.

One year before 1990. Just want you to pull that all together. I'm out of breath. Trying to break out of that cage. I got a lot more respect for Lou Ferrigno. IMDB describes this movie as Simbad and his shipmates and a young prince must battle an evil wizard to gain a hand of a beautiful princess. Kinda. I don't know.

Doesn't feel exactly like it's catching it. Kind of seems like Simbad goes on an adventure, he cuts to get some jewels, and sometimes plots are just completely dropped. Like, mentioning the prince is offensive to me because I rewatched the end of this movie four times just to make sure I didn't miss that the prince is not there. The prince ceases to exist. Oh, by the way, if you've not watched this movie, it's completely 80 yard, which means

that no dialogue was recorded on set. A little child is voiced by what I would say is a 30-year-old woman. And just in case you're wondering, we'll get into this a little bit later, this is not based on any Edgar Allan Poe story that we can find. I mean, yes, he wrote a story, but this is not based on that. Tagline is, he must conquer evil on land and at sea. Okay, again, not too exciting of a tagline. There is no box office, there is no domestic gross. This came straight to DVD, videotape, whatever it was, thrown out with the trash at one point and we are lucky enough to get it.

Now we are gonna break down this movie, every beat of it, and there are a lot of beats, but first let me welcome my co-host. Please welcome to the stage, Mr. Jason Manzoukas. Yes! Yes! What's up, jerks? Let's go! Let's go, boysy!

There's a boat outside we're all going to see! It's happening! Oh, I'm out of breath now. I am too. I don't know what it is. What altitude are we at? I thought that was just a Denver thing. I don't like it. Now I'm equally out of breath for doing nothing.

I'm like what's happening? We're gonna die on this tour? Wow, wow, wow. Look at us. Look at us. Look at us. Look at us. Brand new city. Boise, baby. I believe the only city on this tour we have never been to. Yeah.

Right? Yes. So you better fucking bring it, Boise. You better fucking bring it. Soise. You better fucking bring it. So many people say, so many people say, no one comes to Boise. And we said, we will come to Boise. We will come, Boise.

By the way, love these doppelgangers. Oh, they are amazing. We got them to stand up. Home run doppelgangers. Well, hold on. The doppelgangers were great, but're amazing. We got them to stand up. Home run doppelgangers. Well, hold on. The doppelgangers were great. But watch this. Jafar, are you still here?

Whoa! Oh, wow. And Jason, one more. My only note, the guy overacted more. You could have overacted. So Jason. Paul. Has this movie ever come across your... Wow. Never once, right? But this bears such a striking resemblance to a movie I saw as a child,

which was Lou Ferrigno playing Hercules. Yes. It's the movie where he throws a bear into space and it becomes the star constellation Ursa Major. Which, didn't we do that on this show? Did we? Yes. We did? Yes.

OK, then I also, then I must have told this story about seeing it as a child then. Well, tell it again. I don't care. I saw it as a child. We all walked out. So I did have a moment at the beginning where I was like, hang on, wait a minute.

And then I was like, oh, whoa. This is a full on other Lou Ferrigno. Yeah, crazy And the fact that you just said that the Edgar Allan Poe at the beginning was a lie is blowing my mind Well, not a lie, but it's not fiction. Well, it is Edgar Allan Poe never existed true That's what you said in all the stories written look it up. All the stories written by him were written by Marlowe. That's exactly right. Oh, not a big Marlowe audience. Interesting.

Interesting Boise for a city that on its library has an exclamation point. That's right. That's right. Library! Yeah, we'll get into the Edgar Allen Poe of it all in a second, but before we do, let's bring out our very special co-host, a person who has been subjected to so many abs and so many pecs on this tour, and I feel like- I would argue we should maybe rename this tour the Beefcake Tour.

I mean, it is shaping up to be that. Please welcome Jessica St. Clair. Welcome. Hi guys. Let's go. Yeah. Jessica. Cuties. Jessica, Jessica. Yes. Is this your first time seeing a Lou Ferrigno film? So, Lou Ferrigno was briefly my neighbor. Whoa! He lived on my block. He had four tiny dogs, which he walked. What era, like what general, how, like somewhat recently? Yeah, like 10 years ago.

Nine years ago. Oh, that's great. Anyway, so what was confusing to me about this film is, this is the type of movie that was like around when my sexual awakening was happening as a young girl. Which was when? 89. 89?

Yeah. Who is that? So it was, how old was I? It's 89? Who is that? So how old was I? 17? No, no, no. Before high school. Yeah, before high school.

Yeah, yeah. So Flash Gordon, people tying people up. You know, casting spells. This type of stuff got me blowing. People tying people up, casting spells. Like these are two very different kinks. It's like a different time. Maybe it's space, maybe it's not,

maybe it's the olden days, maybe it's not. No, no, movies were hornier. They were hornier. Kids these days, they don't know how to be horny because the movies aren't telling them. That's right. We're not getting enough horny movies. I mean, there is a whole level or a whole genre of movies

that were just like sex crimes, right? It was just like, that's it. She fucks them and kills them. Silk stockings, you know? And we had to find it. Okay, now wait a minute, that's Skinimax. Okay, but we had to find these things on basic cable. Do you know what I mean?

We had to find it on a Satria 2. Now our sex symbol is Mr. Beast. What the fuck is Mr. Beast? Who? St. Clair just said who's Mr. Beast. Who's Mr. Beast? That's mind blowing because even I know who Mr. Beast is, and I'm a fucking idiot. Who's Mr. Beast? Mr. Beast is, well, he's got a big reality show on Amazon.

He's an enormous YouTube personality who does like stunty things like if you can stand in one place for 46 days I'll give you, I'll give you five million dollars. No but then my joke is that he's not sexy. Okay well if you have to explain your joke it's not funny. Well it was based on that you would know who he was. Halfway through the tour, St. Clair doesn't give a fuck. Also, St. Clair shows up to shows having not talked to anyone all day, and then it's straight nuts. I know.

And I like to go up to everyone's spouses like, anybody fight today? Because I'm all alone. I'm like, yeah, it sounds really annoying. Fight more. Anyway, so what I was saying is when I saw this film, to be honest, deep in my loins there was a stirring. Wow. Well.

There was. Well, this is a horny movie. It is a horny movie. And also it's got like a oiled up jacked, Yes! Hairless for you. Which I love. I know, jacked, hairless for you. Which I love. I know, I'm reminding them.

Which I love. And not the thin waist we saw last night with the Barbarian Brothers. He's pretty proportionate. But at the same time, I'm juggling that with watching him walk his elderly pugs. You know, so there's a lot of different things going on. Because he's still a big guy.

Like he's not, he didn't lose the muscle. No he didn't. He's a wonderful husband and spouse. I used to stare in at them while they were eating dinner. Think like how does he sit in those tiny chairs? Would you talk to, would you say hello? Just a little smile, a little Mona Lisa smile. What do you mean? Just like a little, hmm. I see you. Wow.

So anyway... Now what happens if one day he comes knocking at your door? This older Lou Frigno wants to borrow something, maybe some protein or whey. And you know... A cup of whey, please. A cup of whey powder. Can I have a cup of whey? You've just gotten out of the shower, no one else is home.

Do you invite Lou in? Do you invite Lou into your house? I'd give Lou a roll in the hay, for sure. Wow. I would. I have to tell you, I kind of enjoyed the film. Yeah. I did.

I don't know why. I'll say this. Once again, and I'm so grateful, this tour has been very enjoyable movies, with the exception of Craven that are not too long Right this went down smooth. It went down right and I could do your makeup while you're watching it No, you know you all did hot rollers, you know while you're watching it, but yeah, so anyway I that's a lot of conflicting feelings, but it's bringing back something, you know, very primal in me. Well, it's so glad then that you were able to watch it alone in a hotel room.

Now, is that why you got kicked out of that hotel? Now I just want to talk about the Edgar Allan Poe of it all. Let's pull up one of these stills here. We can pull up still one. This is the title screen that we see. Did anybody else feel like Edgar Allan Poe has Jason's eyes? of these stills here, we can pull up still one. This is the title screen that we see. Did anybody else feel like Edgar Allen Poe has Jason's eyes? Show me, show them.

Show them, look out with your weird eyes, look out. Does anybody see that resemblance? Am I right? Would you call them sexy eyes? Nope. Creep eyes, creep eyes. Hunky eyes? Creep eyes.

Now, I will say when the Edgar Allan Poe picture arrived, I was like, oh, maybe this is the production company, like Poe Productions. It's like, oh no, okay, we're getting a little history about Edgar Allan Poe. Don't know how this connects to Simbad at all. And then we get to slide two, you know, we're learning a little bit about him.

We're seeing that, you know, he is the inventor of, you know, various liter, literary trends like thrillers and science fiction. And we get to slide three here, which, you know, kind of sets up that he wrote this book, the thousand and second tale of, and this is the word I will not be able to Shahara's odd, Shahara's odd. Now's odd now Here's the thing No Similarity can be found between the plot of that tale and this story

Hmm, if anything is it a thin bed story though is the title this it says no similarity can be found Between its plot and the story it says it does borrow many elements from the 1940 film theief of Baghdad. Okay. So I feel like they stole from something else, but they kind of put you off the path. Yeah, or maybe they were trying to legitimize it

to say this is a family film and not the jerk-off fest that it obviously is for pre-teen girls. I don't think that Edgar Allan Poe screams family film. Well, I felt like this was an effort to make this movie feel like it had more gravitas or more weight. That it's like, oh, this isn't just a beefcake Sinbad movie with cheesy nonsense. This is based on an Edgar Allan Poe story which, check your

records, is pretty important. And then it's like, no, this is Lou Farigno doing absolute, like knocking down like dozens of bad guys holding as a weapon one of the bad guys. Which we need more of in our movies. More horny people and more bad guys as weapons. Yes! Yes! Now, I want to cut to slide five here because this is where I knew we were off the rails. And this is it.

That's how they end the opening crawl. Even Edgar Allan Poe doesn't look happy to be here. I've never seen something that's like, this is based on a true story. Yeah, that's true! And here it is, you motherfucker. Enjoy it. Like they serve it, like that, this has an energy to it. If I was the Edgar Allen Poe estate, I would sue Canon films.

Please don't though, we love Canon. We love Canon. When I saw that it was this, this was a Canon movie, I was like, oh, thank God. Well, I knew it was a canon movie when I saw, let's just cut to clip number one here, the ADR in the film. Here, take a look at. Now, if you're listening, just know that these voices

do not match. This is clip number one, and you'll just get a little taste of the voices in this movie. Starts off Princess Bride style, mom telling the daughter daughter story I'll read you a story it's a very strange story but you'll have to promise me you'll go to sleep afterwards I promise I promise it's mommy what happens to sin bed mommy I promise mommy

mother I definitely promise I'm a young girl, and I promise you. This is basically the voice used in The Exorcist. Yes. I am so disturbed by this little girl's room. First of all, it looks like she's living in a dorm. Some sheet is just put up on the wall, a blue sheet. And I don't know if we could rewind it, but there is also a head shot,

which is clearly the daughter's headshot Okay, like when they cast her yeah, and they're like oh People won't know it's a headshot. They'll just think it's a picture right her own headshot adorns her bed That is a weird choice Well, this movie is I will say this there isn't a single normal choice in the movie. This movie is wall to wall weird choices. But that's why I think it's great. Absolutely, fully agree.

Because there's not even one normal. Nope. Nobody's trying to have a normal scene. Nope. This is an insane, it's an hour and a half long bedtime story. Oh yeah. Oh. Where the mom.

It's 1.30 a.m. by the time they're done. Oh, it's so much mom... It's 1 30 a.m. by the time it's done. It's like sunrise has happened. She's just like... Her eyes are bleeding, like, what happens next? When do I get to sleep? Clearly, the director saw Princess Bride and was like, I got it,

but wouldn't it be more interesting if the narration never stopped? Wait, so... And... And he goes... And the mom goes off track multiple times. Like, well, mommy, what's going on? She's like, well, I think that he just felt

that he wasn't into that. And she was probably like, I don't know. She's just riffing. Oh, the daughter... Like she's not reading. The daughter at a certain point should absolutely have been like, this story has narrative problems.

Yeah. This story has act three three problems I don't understand what's the all hope is lost moment yeah what I mean the daughter I was confused when I had to write down all the names it's like we have the Viking we have poochie we have boy that we have guys bald cook the bald cook and po bald cook and Poochie, let's be honest, are useless. And why? The bald cook looks like he's got a couple guns on him. He could do something. He hides all the time.

The bald cook. He just hides. The bald cook, at the only time in the movie where they eat, the Poochie comes out like, I made dinner. Well, why wasn't the bald cook making dinner? Is Poochie from The Simpsons? Poochie is the cool dog from The Simpsons. OK, cool.

Just making sure. Yeah, and when Poochie, Poochie P, I believe, and when Poochie does find my favorite part of the movie, where Poochie does overhear Jafar talking to a mirror, which is not possessed. He's just talking into a mirror. He's not having any larger conversation. He and then we watch the scene, Pucci hears him, then goes out and then repeats it. And then there's also voiceovers like, this is the plot. We're underlining, this

is what's going on. Don't be confused. Well, and I appreciate that, because then we go on some tangents. And some sidestepping. Well, the whole movie is just a series of quests, right? Every, it's a vignette, every, it's like he's, at the beginning of the movie, Jafar scatters. Also, we don't even start the quest for like so long. No. You know, I was like, so anyway,

Jafar sends all these gems all over the place and so now they've gotta go and recollect the gems and bring them back, blah, blah, blah. So that's the whole movie. They just go on one thing after another and they always fight him. Some sort of a guy in a big rubber suit who's either supposed to be rocks or slime or.

It's the same actor, for sure. Same suit every time. The movie is going at a clip until they get to the island of the dead and then it's like, you know what, let's chill out here for an hour. Okay, let me ask you this. Every other quest, five, ten minutes. Let me ask you this, because the island of the dead made me think of it is,

what is, well, I wish we had cut back to the mom telling the story right as he shoves his hand into the king of the dead's chest, pulls out his heart which has his face on it. Yep. Like what's the story she's telling the little girl? Squeezes it, green goo comes out of it. Yes and Sinbad punched straight through his chest like the daughter would be like what? Yeah like it's...

Don't worry daughter his heart was in the shape of his own face, but that's the way the Legion of Death have their own hearts. Like Minnie Me's, Austin Powers, I read the script, it's coming out soon. Ha ha! Does my heart have a face, Mommy? What does my heart's face look like?

Why would your heart have your own face? I mean, though, I say that as someone who was one of the actors in a movie called Meet Dave, where Eddie Murphy was the captain of a spaceship that looked like Eddie Murphy. That makes sense to me. Makes some sense. It does. Did anybody, was anybody disturbed by how much Jafar and the and The king the whatever his name is. Yeah look like the Aladdin character. Yes

No, no, these are all characters that are in one, but they look exactly like the drawings Yeah, right, but the drawing Yes Yeah, right, but the drawing Yes, so you think you think Aladdin ripped this movie I'm really concerned does anyone else is anyone else concerned They look exactly the same. I feel like this when you go out there. I feel like some smart person Maybe there's a librarian the audience is gonna explain what's where you mean a librarian Librarian the audience is gonna explain what's what you mean a librarian There's always a librarian in the audience Disturbing no you're right It definitely reminded me very much of Aladdin because I think it does steal from the story that Aladdin was based on now

You do bring up Jafar, which is by far the best performance By Jafar the best performance it Jafar is by far the best performance. By Jafar? By Jafar, the best performance. Jafar, in a way, the best performance. I... Ha ha ha ha ha! Jafar brings it and is only knocked off his perch for, and we'll talk about her in a little bit, by Sucra.

Sucra? Okay, now, so this is interesting because we've talked extensively about how the movie is all ADR, which is additional recording, whatever, dialogue recording, which is recorded after. So in almost every scene in this movie, they are not capturing sound on set, right? Which is a normal thing for Italian productions. Yes. Except, yes.

Like all the spaghetti westerns are dubbed. Everything's dubbed. Except for these scenes on set. Yes. So Sucra and Jafar are talking. Those are their voices. And those scenes, as a result, are incredible. I mean.

Because Sucra is like, what's up? I'm Sucra. I'm here. Let's do this. Sucra walked out of like Gold's Gym on Venice Beach I was like, what's up? I'm Sookra, I'm here, let's do this. Yeah. Sookra walked out of like Gold's Gym on Venice Beach into, I was like- Glamorous ladies of wrestling vibes.

I was like, fuck yes, there's a red Sonya here? Let's fucking do this. I'm coming for him, I'll get him. And I was so excited to see Sookra's fight. Never happens. Never. I know. Heartbroken. Literally the movie says, she's like, I's fight. Never happens. Never happens. I know.

She literally, the movie says, she's like, I want to fight him. And I'm like, don't ever see it. Culture wasn't ready for it. They weren't ready for a woman to fight. Sinbad doesn't even fight Jafar. They weren't. Yeah. Sinbad fights himself.

I thought at one point, I was like, maybe I missed Jafar turning Sucra into Sinbad. But no, he just turns air into Sinbad because he could have also turned himself into Sinbad. Wouldn't it have been great if when Sinbad shows up, Jafar is first, like, Sucra, get him? So we get a big battle scene. That would have been a big fight scene. I love Sucra. I love Jafar.

Everybody is, I think, incredible in this, with the possible exception of, what's going on with Viking Warrior? What's this guy's deal? He does not talk, full stop. Yeah, he has a few lines, and his accent is all over the place. All over the place, and he is constantly getting his ass kicked.

Well, how old is he? He's the Warrior. Is he old? Oh, I think he's old. I think he might be older than the rest of them. Well, how old is he? He's the warrior. Is he old? Oh, I think he's old. I think he might be older than the rest of them. Well, here's my thought. My thought is this. They're coming back from an exciting journey.

We don't know what that journey was. And he's like, finally, take some time off. Samar and R. Yeah, and he's like, I got to go back. Some weight off the joints. And I feel like he just is, you're seeing him suffer from, it's like almost when basketball players play like a back-to-back. It's like he's playing a little tired. I feel like he just is, you're seeing him suffer from like, it's like almost when basketball players play like a back to back. It's like he's playing a little tired.

I feel like he's definitely carrying that energy. The only people, worthwhile people I feel like on this team are the Chinese Soldier of Fortune and Sinbad. They are... And Poochie. And Lil Poochie. Poochie's incredible, but Poochie and the bald cook are always like... Poochie's a rat.

We've got to get the little rat in there to figure out what's going on. Poochie and the bald cook are always like... Poochie's a rat! We've got to get the little rat in there to figure out what's going on. Poochie's great. I wish they'd use Poochie more, but they keep... That's what I couldn't figure out. Like, they spend all this time putting the team together, like it's Fellowship of the Ring, and then they're like, okay, there's bad guys. Poochie, bald cook, you guys hide in the boat. We're going to go over here and all separate.

And then everybody gets either captured or turned into like... They're always getting captured.'re not always getting captured getting captured and tied up yeah I I do there is a moment early on where they come back to Bascar and they're they're in there you know they're in the castle they're being held captive Lou Freigignot is down in the dungeon. And when this scene happens, when Lou Freignot talks to a snake, like... He's so validating.

Who hurt you? Who hurt you? He's so validating. And for that age, at 89, for him to know how to validate another person's experience and to say, I see you, snake. I see you, I understand you're afraid. Those are the 10 things we're supposed to talk

to our kids like that. Isn't it interesting that he would rather validate the snakes than the women in this movie? Wow. Jason, you are an America's hero. Makes you think. Why you're still single, nobody knows. Makes you think.

Nobody knows. Here's what I will say. I felt like, wow, he really gets these snakes. We should actually watch a clip of that. That's clip three. Please. I need your help. Come here.

He's got a real connection with this snake. Yeah, he does. Nervous, huh? Nervous, huh? I know where you're coming from. This is what he'd talk like this if you're on a date No, it'd be like right before sex. Well to me. I felt like he was grooming Yeah, you want because he winds up doing is hurting the snakes very badly

Yes, no snake would survive that survive you can't when he's tying he's tying tails like I was like... Let's be clear, those aren't tails. Snakes don't have tails, they have bodies. That's their body. That's the snake's body. And he's ripping it to shreds. It doesn't have a tail.

So he is putting his full body weight on those snakes, and he's talking so sexy to them, and then seemingly leaves those snakes hanging. I'm sorry, you're forgetting... It's shreds. You're forgetting an essential part of it. He, full, his full body weight. That's what I'm saying, yeah. They are, these snakes are so dead. They're so dead.

It is, but they might be part alive. That's the sad part. You know that like when you cut off, like it's still alive, the earthworm part of it, and they're, and they know that, like, when you cut off, like, this still-alive-the-earthworm part of it, and they're... and they know that they're gonna die and they're hung there? One of the things that I wish that this movie would have done would have been to have, like,

10% more craziness. Like, let the snakes have voices. Sure. Like, he's really... Ah, you don't know what I go through. Jafar's always making me bite people. You know, they're... Listen, and they're Italian snakes. So maybe they've got an Italian accent. Right, right. It's like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh And I look like a spaghetti. Why is it so high pitched? But I really thought that he I mean you went straight to like so high pitched

Ayy my guy, ayy Oh it's Luigi Mamma Mia, oh Simba Spent a lot of time alone in those hotel rooms. Oh yeah. Where did you guys fall in the pun-ishers? Ugh, that the

torturer has a clever, has clever wordplay for everyone. He's got your hair. That's another, oh yeah, that's another one that I was like, give me ten, give me more of this guy. Let this guy be like, hey guys, remember, I've got to show this Friday night. I'm doing improv with some friends, so this is just kind of what I do. Oh the piranha love to eat you because you're gonna have they don't like hair and their teeth. Yeah. And I was like but the man has a full beard so the joke doesn't really even work. And he screams that out. I have a beard before they lower him in. But I have a beard.

I think a lot of these decisions were being made on the day. Yes. You know, and people were all, it was like, there, you know, it wasn't like, oh, the actors and the writers are separate. It's like, we're all doing this together, you know? And we're only going to be shooting for four hours today because we've got to knock off and have that pasta lunch. And by the way, I keep on cutting back to the girl hearing the story. Like, uh-huh, uh-huh. Like, and then another one's thrown

into the piranha pit. People get thrown into that piranha pit. And they don't ever seem to even fight their way out. Also, also, the pit's not that big. No. The pit's not big enough for six men to be put into. Also, in this scene, he says, he says to the snakes, like, things haven't been good for you since Eve and

I was like does this story exist? Biblical in a post the Old Testament time. I Couldn't figure that out at all. Yeah. Well, there's that religion major For you, but is it also that all snakes are connected? Like, does that snake know the story of Eve? Like, do they share one brain? It's not like, oh, well, yes, I was reading the Bible. And you're right. We've really gotten a fair shake.

Is that all snakes, like, shared trauma? Yeah. Generational trauma. Wait, but I thought what I really, I can't believe we're spending this much time on the snake scene. But I really thought that he was going to, like, motivate them we're spending this much time on the snake scene, but I really thought that he was gonna like motivate them

to like get up in the palace and bite people. It was all to tie a snake rope. That's all that was? It was all so he could tie, like that's what I'm saying, he was grooming them to do evil to them. That's fucked up. Yeah.

And that's like the opposite of a save the cat moment. That's a kill the snake. Kill the snake moment, yeah. Yeah, and we don't like him. Read my book about screenwriting, Kill a Snake. How to make 10 movies for $40. Yeah, and have them be horny as hell. When they go to that island of- The island of pussy?

Yes, the island of pussy. Incredible. I knew something was coming. I was so excited for that. Oh, it was. Yes, it was. It was something weirder, though, than I imagined. I wanted...

It was, whoa, when that woman turned into an old lady Game of Thrones style, I was like... I was like, uh-oh. No, your first uh-oh is when... The first woman they see is just doing multiple... Oh, yeah. Back handspring, back handspring, back handspring through the woods.

And then the other one attacks that man with her crotch. Yeah. How did this come in? How did this come in? Lou Ferrigno's girlfriend was very beautiful. Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. Beautiful, beautiful. And is she the Amazon queen?

Yes. Yes, the siren. She is referred to as a mind vampire. That's right. Oh yeah. Now, yes mind, she is exerting some as a mind vampire. That's right. Oh, yeah. Now, yes, mind. She is exerting some sort of mind control or something like that. How is it vampiric?

She's sucking away his will. Is that it? OK. Well, because I think that there is a bit, but this is what I didn't understand. One woman gets one guy by crotch, the other woman gets the other guy by butt dart. Why are they, why are they so varied? Like, they just want to hold them there right yeah so why like

was that a what do they all have special skills I think so okay so but darts are Prince Ali gets the butt dart right that I wanted to see was them all fucking them to death or something like that. Yeah. Like honestly, that's where and we were even on the boat setting up and bring the ointment. Yes. And I'm like, uh huh. A lot of weird lotions. I'm like, yeah, there's lotions coming. Pause and good idea.

I'll get the ointment. So many ointments there. It's so nice. The hotel provides ointment. So I feel like there were a lot of missed opportunities. You know what I mean? I don't know. Now, can I just say, I'll ask this question very openly

and honestly, that woman when she turns old, that's a white woman in blackface, right? Is it? Yes, it was very disturbing. I think I clearly could not find an older black woman. This will work. And it's doubly shocking. The first it's an old woman, whoa, and then you're like,

oh, oh, oh. There are shockingly offensive images, music cues. There are stuff, there's stuff in this movie that's truly reprehensible. This guy is working off of fortune cookie logic. Yes, oh, it's nuts. But I will say that some of the things that Confucius did say were, I was like, Oh, that's interesting. You wrote it down. Yeah, I did. A lot of plastic to hold down the princess. Or when she's in that lair, she is in that much technology.

Yeah, that's the thing is in Jafar's lair, it's they have machines, they have tubes, they have lucite, plastic, lucite, they have machines, they have tubes, they have lucite, plastic. Lucite. They have clear lucite. She's in clear lucite, like, hand guards. I was like, what's going on? Tubes with, like, stuff. And then later, multiple people shoot lasers.

And out of the gems. Multiple people straight shoot lasers. Well, sometimes out of the gem, but sometimes out of their hands. Yep. There's moments in this movie where, I mean, are there cameras? Because Lou Farigno looks right in the camera like, all right Jafar, I'm coming for you. Like he's in the running man or something like that. Sometimes Jafar is watching them on

like a primitive iPad. On the TV. Well, but that's okay. Jafar can be watching them. No, I agree. But you can't be watching Jafar like there's no other. No, what's the hell? What happened? Shiny surface. I agree. But what's so fun and I agree. It's so funny because there'll be action and then Lou Farigno Sinbad will win and then it'll be like, yes, Jafar, blah, blah, blah, blah. But they don't then cut to Jafar looking at the screen, seeing Farigno yelling at him. So it just is strange. Connective tissues missing. Yes, it just feels weird and you have to be like,

why is he doing that? Oh wait, maybe he thinks, but what if Jafar's just not looking at the thing right now? What if Jafar is like gut diarrhea? Right? Right, yeah, it's not like a ring doorbell where you go back and go who was oh Yes, I would love it. I would love it if Sim bad was like I'm coming for you

Jafar get ready and it cuts to just an empty room And Sukruz just like whatever By the way, there are so many things that are just out of the world like Suk, Sucre's like, did you take your meds this morning, Jafar? You take your meds? Look, the fact that they all have Brooklyn accents is so shocking at first. Oh, yeah. Do you know what I mean?

And they are speaking so modern. So casually, like the girl that Sinbad falls in love with, she's like, yeah, anyway, my dad's kind of crazy, he made a fucking helicopter, and we go ahead and get it, anyway, we're here, that's a souffle. I was like, oh, you mean her dad, Salvador Dali? Who speaks like a gibberish language? I was like, what kind of terrible clown show have I been admitted to, to watch this man perform?

But why does she speak English? Yeah. She's only been her and her dad for like, I don't know, 20 years? Her dad, whose name is only been her and her dad for like, I don't know, 20 years. Her dad, whose name is Nadir, who I believe is like the lowest level. Doesn't that mean the bottom of? I think it does. By the way, when they do fly away on the little, the little, what is it, like...

Oh, the hot air balloon? Hot air balloon? The hot air balloon that Sinbad inflates by blowing into it. I'm pretty sure his, what comes out of his lungs is not lighter than oxygen, making them able to fly, right? I don't know. All I know is that the daughter has a cup of coffee. She's like, well, I'm just going to enjoy this flight. She's drinking out of a cup.

Like she is like getting table service in the little hot air balloon. And then at one point, they throw everything overboard that's too heavy. And then you seem to have had tons of bags of sand in there. Yeah, that was weird. Oh, they all are doing is throwing bags of sand overboard. Oh, my God. The other thing I wondered about Sinbad is really he's doing all of this up until he meets that girl the

redhead he's doing all this just so the prince can get his dick wet yes yes for Sinbad just adventure yeah just adventure I don't think that's enough story on well really I don't and I think he's on a quest to retrieve the things so that peace can be brought back to the city. I guess so. Because they become beasts. But every so often that prince who looks like an extra from Wham is like, Do bands have extras?

I'll be honest. I gotta take a piss. Can you play this song for me? Yeah, yeah. Get that extra in here. Guys, who else's mom was obsessed with George Michael and Wham? My mom was so in love with George Michael. What's the reverse of putting my hand down?

Yeah. I love that you said that thinking everybody would agree. Right? He was. No, everybody loved him. Wait, let's see. There's a couple hands up. Were people, did people have moms obsessed with?

You were obsessed. Yeah, we all thought he was strange. And just had, like, great eyes, great eyeliner. My mom liked Simply Red. Oh, wow. Makes a lot of sense. Yeah, that.

Simply Red. Those curls. How did she feel about Inexcess? Oh, well, she took away my Inexcess CD. Why? Because it has a song called Suicide Blonde on it. And she thought that if I listened to it, I was going to commit suicide.

Because you were so blonde? Yeah. She's like, you're already blonde. You're halfway there. My mom was like, I need to listen to this. So you don't commit suicide. Do you see it clearly? No, she was like, I'll take this.

Yeah. You're telling me this is a brunette version of Simply Red Man? It's so thick for mommy. Oh my gosh. I get it. While I'm at it, I'll take this Soundgarden CD. I did want Sinbad to kiss Sinbad.

Oh. Yeah. That was, it was so eerie because last night, again, we did a movie in Denver, it starred the Barbarian Brothers. Yes. Two beefcake, muscle-bound, bodybuilding twins. And so that scene was so eerie. I was like, I'm going to have a panic attack on this tour if all I do is see doubled up beefcakes. Yeah.

So many pecs, so many abs. There was also the beefcake who tries to trap him with the chain. Oh yeah. In the torture chamber. Yeah. Then I was like this is straight Toms of Finland here. This is in the, and if you don't know what that is,

just go and check it out of the library. No, that was a sensual moment when you're trying to break out of that. Screaming. Yeah, they're screaming. There's a lot of, you must have liked it because there's a lot of people being tied up. Kira is also tied up at one point. Love it. And he has to rescue her.

And I believe that's maybe the green monster that's after him. There's also, it seems to me to be quite a bit of random foam on this set. Like, the baddies were having like a foam party or something, and Sinbad showed up and was like, get ready. The other thing that's interesting about the Isle of the Dead is how do you know when a dead, already dead person is really dead? That's a great question. Because like, at a a certain point that would be the last day it crumble

But like he's already dead Zombies you can't kill them what you would think is what you can you would how you eat their brains they eat yours wait How do you know zombie you bite them? What do you do to them? Wait? You first of all you kill this is the mate just keep on going. What do you kill a zombie? You bite him? What do you do to him? Wait, you kill a, you think you kill a zombie? This is amazing, just keep on going. What do you think? You said so many things so quickly. First of all, you said you think you kill a zombie

by you biting it? And then you said you eat their brains? I really don't know. Honestly, I'd love to. How do you kill a zombie? Give us just a rudimentary. Shoot it in the face? Your rudimentary understanding of how zombies work.

Go. They... somebody bit them, they became a zombie. They want to eat your brains, they bite you, you become a zombie. How do you kill that zombie though? You what? You destroy their brain? Yeah. So I was right. You destroy their brain?

So I was right. You eat their brain. No. If you eat their brain... What would happen to you? Wait, so... What would happen to you? You're thinking...

Everybody, zombie is always biting you, but what happens if you bite a zombie? Why is biting the only methodology at play? Why do you think that if you have to destroy their brain, you must ergo bite it by the way also? What why but what I love about this is that? Jess has seen any zombie movies, but now we know you haven't that would mean that the big final act would just be a bunch of people with spoons To get at their brain to get at their brain? To get through their skulls.

Yeah, it would. But here's then how do you do it? You blow their head off? Chop their head off. Oh, that's easy. Why are these zombie movies so hard then? Blow their head off. I would love.

And they move so slow. Not all the time. Why? Sometimes they're fast. Why? Danny Boyle invented the fast zombie. There's thousands and thousands and thousands. Oh, I'd love to see.

I would love to see you try and battle zombies. Fine. It seems pretty easy. I'm going to write that movie. Fine, do it. Just give me a cookbook and I will fight all the zombies you want. I would love it. A movie in which a zombie apocalypse happens,

you walk out and you think to yourself, I gotta start biting these brains. What happens if you bite a zombie? We're always worried they're gonna bite us, but what if you're gonna kill a zombie? Why? Because it's about the blood. When they bite you and infect you,

when you bite them, you don't think you're getting the same junk? I don't know What is that actually getting you their saliva? Wow, wow, wow So much let's go out into the crowd Okay, all right. Hi. All right. Here we go. All right. What do you got here? Stand up stand up for me Here you go. Okay, great. All right. Now you're making okay. You're making a child stand up, okay I own 200 physical copies of the movies you guys have watched

I'm so sorry for you. Yeah, I'm so sorry. I'm not out of the virtue not you sir the child Please don't call CPS Yeah, so she enjoys the sleepover. Everything that's directed at her, you know, she's like, why are they doing this? Twilight is good. So you're saying she loves the movies, hates the podcast. Yeah, yeah. Well, lovely to meet you. Nice to meet you both. All right, who has a question? Great work. Adorable. All right, what's your name and what's your question? My name is Andy.

I was looking on Wikipedia about this and I'm going to pull it up to make sure I get it right. The original director was replaced by Enzo G. Castelli. The original director was Luigi Cosi who directed The Legend of Hercules, the 1983 one. Sorry, did you just say 83? Yeah, 83. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The original director was Luigi Cosi who directed The Legend of Hercules, the 1983 one. And they said that... Sorry, did you just say 83? Yeah, 83. Great, thank you. Yes, this is...

I have this... I have some more backup of this, so here we go. Yeah, go with what we got. So they mentioned that Enzo shot three hours of unreleasable footage. And given what we saw, how bad is that unreleasable footage? Well, I think I can clarify this in a second because I can walk us through the thing. All right, let's see.

All right, hi, how are you? What's your name? I'm Scott. Okay, what's your question? So I saw this movie twice. And so both times when I saw the scene with Sukra and Jafar, I thought this scene would be so much better with Jason and Jessica.

Wow. Bless you. I agree. Jessica would look amazing in that outfit. Bless you. So my question is, Paul, you're a handsome guy. Which part in this movie would you like to play? Well, it's a parent, the bald cook.

You've got more range, Paul. Don't sell yourself short. You've got more range. You know what? When I do a good got more range. I'm gonna take it I'm gonna get that good ball that good ball money And ball bucks, baby I'm gonna come over to this guy over there. Who do I got a question? Oh, yeah I'm the doppelganger. All right. All right, you got to come to the it's a gorgeous. All right. Here you go. Hi

How are you? I'm doing well. How are you, Paul? So I actually have a couple things. The first one is in my research I found that in 2015 there was a documentary called Capitan Cozy, which is an Italian language German-made documentary about the making of Sinbad of the Seven Seas and other cozy productions, which was released by Freakorama Productions in 2015. I could not find it. I do not speak Italian or German, so I feel like I couldn't do much with it if I did. It's nice to know it's there. Yes.

And it is. What the fuck? Did anybody, was anybody successful in finding this or watching this or anything? I'm curious? No? Okay, got it. Okay. You know, sometimes somebody has.

And then my second thing is, Jason, earlier when you asked if this is set in biblical times before Kira Sinbad and Nadir get into the flying machine, Kira says, Nadir, the famous wizard, he's been a member of the Baghdad fraternity since 82. Yes. What is that? What is that? What is that? What is the Baghdad fraternity?

What is happening? 1982? That is all. Thank you. Probably 1982 She also says that he's making his famous couscous, which is finger licking good. Fish couscous Finger licking. I'm like whoa whoa wait a minute. And then I think at one point I don't think we can do finger licking good for something that's not chicken. I thought at one point Lou Freedman also said, dino-mite! Yeah.

He did say, gosh, you're beautiful. I was like, that's so earnest. I mean, like, come on, Sinbad's so earnest. Do you think he's a virgin? You think Sinbad's a virgin? Yeah, of course. Boy, he keeps getting interrupted every time he's about to get some.

You don't think he fucked a snake? Pfft. Can you? Can you fuck a snake? I don't know. That's a question. All right. Let's find out at the library! All right, what do you got? It's her birthday. Hi. Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Okay, we're hoping for some clarity on the seven moons.

So it says he has seven moons to find all the gems, is that seven days or seven months? And both is way too long to stay on that plastic table for the princess. That's true. Wow, I bought seven days, like, for score. Like, I was like, but seven moons would be- Wait, you went for score? Where are you going with for score?

Well, like, I was like, seven moons. I was like, oh, like, like, in my mind, I was like, oh, seven moons is like, like like I look at my mind I was like oh seven moons is like like just a week but I you're right it's a weird way to say it. Moons might be a month. Yeah I I would also say that but you know. And they seem like they were gone for quite some time. Well you really did. When you're traveling by boat. Yeah. I mean it's very. So seven moons. She's been on a table for seven months. That's it. She would be so dead. Yeah, she is unwell. Without any food or water?

I do think the movie wants you to think it's seven days. So at one point... Who the fuck are you? Dad! Say your name, say your name. Introduce yourself. Oh, my name is Mark. Give it up for Mark, everybody. Yeah, Mark!

I didn't mean to scare you. Yeah, bald brother! I didn't mean to scare you, Mark. No, at one point point gibberish talking dad they're like loading up on the the balloon and he says something I only saw this movie once so maybe you guys caught this but we only watch it once you know I barely watched whatever you're confused by logical expression basically he said he speaks his gibberish and then she translates for Sinbad

and it's something to the effect of, we're coming for you Jafar and we will see to it your name is canceled from the list of accredited magicians. And it just seems to me like, isn't that a really, like, is being an accredited magician such a big deal? What a weak threat. That would stop Jafar from doing whatever he's doing. What a weak threat, absolutely.

I wrote that down too. What a weak threat to be like We're gonna come and we're gonna have your papers revoked. Wait, but wait, but I have an issue with this which is our Magicians getting accredited. Yeah, like I mean I just say is this even doing that they can't like sometimes on free range We're gonna take away your tenure You won't get good. You won't be fired. We're taking away your driver's license. All right, what do we got over here? Yeah, hi, my name is Richard.

Hi, Richard. I have two questions. So number one, do you think that Nadir was like supposed to sound like he was speaking a different language, but they were kind of mocking or parodying? Like there's a an Italian singer named Adriano Selentano who has a song that is pure gibberish. You want to play it for us? Hit that play.

That's the famous gibberish song isn't it? It is made to sound like English but it sounds nothing like English. But it has no English words. I think it has no actual words. I think it's all pure made-up words. Except that I feel like what Nadir is doing is like, you know, I feel like they are making him look like Salvador Dali, and then they are giving him like Italian gibberish nonsense sounding stuff.

And the fact that they wouldn't ever translate it, and my closed captioning referred to it as native dialogue. Mmm. That's problematic too. And I was like, huh? To where? Yeah. I think they just needed comic relief. Is this how they speak on the Isle of the Dead I think they needed comic relief. They just made it crazy. I'm going back to the side of the theater that Alright the rogues gallery over here. Let's see if we can pull us out. What's your name? What you got? Hello guys

My name is Connor. And so with all this ADR all this weird anachronistic dialogue what stood out to you I mean hey long man got the gosh you sure are beautiful yeah the other one wrestler lady glow hey Jeffar says go do your stuff I'm gonna tell you if anyone I just got those air pods you know max or whatever and you do feel like you're in a surround sound theater. And I have to tell you, the movie with those is a whole different experience, because you're hearing every, oh, ow, ow, and like in like those death, the dead people that they're fighting, the first ones, the skeletons, they're like this.

How did the oracle sound with noise canceling headphones? Yes. Ooh. Oh. Oh. Oh. What the? How did the oracle sound with noise canceling headphones? The oracle was crazy too. You know, I don't remember him as much. But yeah, it's a whole, you really, I think the voiceover artists are the heroes of this movie. Oh yeah. Truly, the fight people.

They really bring the heat. Yeah. All right, what do you got? I just had a question. So what if when he fell down in the snake pit, what if he actually died? And this was like a Jacob's Ladder scenario. Yep, get out of here.

And then here we go. I'm just gonna have security escort her out. Ha ha ha ha. Bring us home, I guess. Let's see, what do you got? All right, name's Gavin. So we established that this movie was originally three hours long, and then it was cut down

to an hour and a half. God bless. So, to try and make it less confusing, they added the mom and the daughter to fill in the gaps. Do we think when we're cutting down movies, as far as the Justice League, if we had established a mom and a daughter telling a story, could the J. the JJ Abrams version been better than the Snyder cat? I, you know, look this is a good Joss Whedon version. Wait, do we think that they added it after? Is that what they did? I actually know the whole, I know the whole thing. I'm gonna come to you

because I have a feeling you're gonna have a good one. What? I'll tell you the whole thing and I'll make it all make sense. Okay. All right, what do you got? Okay, two questions about the love stories here. One, Poochie and the bald chef. Right? In love. Yeah, absolutely. Two, Sinbad's love story. Did anybody involved in the production plan on that being part of the story at the beginning? Because that came out of absolutely fucking nowhere,

and all of a sudden, Sinbad's getting married at the end. I will say, it did seem to me that they rushed into that. That was like the love is blind type of scenario. They had just met. I was very glad that they found each other. I believe in Sinbad and Kira, but to get married that quickly is putting a lot of pressure on them. Yeah, especially with, have they discussed that Sinbad's always on the road?

Right, yes. Is she gonna travel with him? Yes. You know what I mean? What is this, the Odyssey? It felt very much like the end of speed. It's like, that relationship's not gonna work out. Oh wait, we've switched off hands. What is going on?

So my name's Ben. Great. My question was, at the end, in the great battle where they're fighting through the palace, we have this moment where Sinbad tells the bald cook and Nadir, you guys deal with the monster. And then they have a little bit of where they're like, yeah, we got to deal with the army. And then Nadir says, bit of where they're like, yeah, we gotta deal with the army. And then Nadir says, it's gibberish. And oh yeah, we gotta deal with the soldiers. Oh no, we gotta deal with the monster. Did I have a dissociative break or something

or did we never see the monster? What is the monster? No, we never, this is what I'm saying. We don't see, we don't see. Sucra disappears after she literally says, I can't wait to fight them. Justice for Sucra. And Jafar is like, oh, you like a battle.

And then we don't ever see it. I'm starting to think. Double justice for Sucra because for some reason, after her first scene, they put her in a weird hat. I loved her hair. I loved her hair. 1989. That was the hair I wanted in New Jersey in the 80s.

My question was, did her hair change or is that a different actor? What? There were times where I was like, is that the same actor? Or they do, like what's the, because they were almost obfuscating in her appearance at times. I don't know. I now think the t-shirt should be a 1989 presidential campaign with Sucre and Pucci. Oh, that's so great.

Yes. We want to see. They are. Sucre Pucci, 89. They're part're part of like the and it's what's the town's name by land and by sea? Land and by sea something about America, right? Wait talking about America. Yeah, cuz they're running for president. Oh, no, I think they should be running for president of Basra Oh, Basra. Yeah, make Basra great again running for president of Bosra? Oh, Bosra, yeah. Make Bosra great again.

Make Bosra. Boo. Mabas. Mabas. Mabas. Mabas. All right. What are you?

I get it. Oh, boo? Oh, boo? By the way, thank you everybody for asking questions. You all did a great job. You all did a great job. You did a great job. I loved it.

You guys are great. OK, so screenwriter Luigi Cozzi was originally set to direct this film in 3D in 1983. Which would have been awesome when Lou Ferrigno is like, I'm coming for you, Ja'far. But what had happened is before they started production, he was fired. And they replaced him with Enzo G. Castellari

at the last minute, who changed Cozy's script drastically. Okay, so then Castellari goes millions of dollars over budget and submits three hours of unusable footage and they're like, well, we can't release this right so then after a couple years like three or four years later they go we just bring back that original director and see if he can do something with this so they bring back cozy who never shot a frame but they said can you piece together yeah and he goes well maybe give me five hundred thousand

dollars and I'll shoot some extra scenes which was the mother and daughter scene and some other connective tissue to make it make sense. Wow. In 1980s half a million dollars to shoot that bedroom scene. Yeah. Well you see. Like check that guy's pockets. Yeah for sure. I think he's Italian what do you mean what do you mean what about that what do you mean about and I also think they added music and lasers so the other thing that he added in was he actually found old stock footage of a movie called leader of the moon men weird yes so he actually sorry he actually found stock footage of a movie called Leader of the Moon Men. This is weird. Yes.

So he actually, sorry, he actually found stock footage from Hercules against the Moon Men from 1964 and used the bad guy of that, the leader of the Moon Men, for one of the villains in this movie. I believe that was the Oracle who told them to go to different places. So then they use light effects and voiceover to change it enough.

And then... This is wild. What a lot of effort to go, like, why not just build some, like, puppets? Yeah, no. And then finally, Lou Frigno has said this is his favorite film that he's ever made. God bless him. God bless him.

Well, I mean, he probably was, like like living in Italy for months at a time. I bet this was a blast. Yeah, it probably was. He's so happy. To put some context on it, the reason why they shelved this movie and then kind of pulled it back out is because they need Canon films needed to make money because they had just made Masters of the Universe and Superman 4 and those are such big flops they're like we got to put something just throw more shit

out there because maybe a dollar will come back so that's that's wow what a backstory yeah it's an intense backstory there and and this and the original director the guy who directed the unusable footage, Enzo Castellari, did also make the film The Inglorious Bastards, which Quentin Tarantino gave him a small cameo in and a special thanks, because Quentin Tarantino had to buy the rights to his film so they could add the same title.

Wow. Incredible. Yeah, so that is have the same title. Wow. Incredible. Yeah, so that is all the stuff there. That is a very big. That's great. Yeah, that is a lot. Well, with all it went through, knowing that, knowing the journey it took, the many seas that it traveled to get to be this film. Seven of them. I'm really proud of it.

I think they really- You're proud of it? They strung something together. You're proud of it. You know, it's You're proud of it? They strung something together. You're proud of it. You know, it's like when you're on your way to school and like your fucking planet, you know, your planet project falls apart and you're like, shit, I got to get this back together and you get something that looks a little bit like the solar system, you know? Why do I feel like that's an episode of the Brady Bunch? That's not your real life. That's an episode of the literal Brady Bunch. Here's the your real life. That's an episode of the literal Brady Bunch.

Here's the thing that I found interesting, which was the line that Jafar couldn't quite sell to me, the only line, because I thought it was incredible, was in the name of all that is evil, budge. Budge. I was like, is he saying budge? What a strange word Exclaim budge here's another great line of his I can trust no one let alone a woman

Here is my favorite now now now I'm getting it now. I'm on Jafar's side My favorite line of Jafar was and he was hiding and going good. Don't come any closer No, like they're really good to far My favorite line of Jafar was when he was hiding and going, no, don't come any closer. No. That's a really good Jafar impression. Oh, thank you. Not as good as our person dresses Jafar. Now, let's see. There have never been a more scary moment in my life

than to say this. Oh, boy. Do we have to? Skip it. Skip it. She gets it. She gets it. Obviously we've had opinions about this movie but there are people out there with a second opinion. It is now time, God help us, for second opinions. Alright, my name is John. I've got another impression to make on this movie. Farygnos flexing his pecs all day with his pal Pucci. The horniest movie doesn't show any boobs.

I'm gonna give it five stars, five stars, five stars, five stars review. On Amazon, five stars, five stars, five stars, five stars review. Nice! Amazing! Wow! Boyzie, you brought the heat! You redeemed yourself! Great job to all the Katies, all the Gabbies.

Everybody did great. This is what we get. It's a music festival, not an Ask Question Festival. But we will be back for your springtime Ask Question Festival. So much fun. So many different question tents. All right. So the average prime rating of this is 4.3 out of 5 stars.

100... And when you say prime rating, you don't mean the Logan Paul drink, right? I mean now that I yeah because I'm always like the prime is the best drink of all time. So now everything is out of five prime? Yeah. Okay. 117 reviews 64% are five star only 4% are one star and I will say this the second opinions tonight will sound like the questions from the audience. Franzi W. writes in 2006, that's a really really good movie. Buy this DVD and you will not repent it. Five stars. You won't repent it? You won't repent it. Wow. Vaxia wrote in 2020,

Jafar, I'm coming for you. And you know it. Including, colon, skilled pillow talk. Take notes featuring, colon, I always wear my purple pants to town. And a hot air balloon. The title of this, I've watched hundreds of films, five stars. Weird.

Like I feel like that person wrote that while having a stroke. Yes. This one is Lou, this This one is from Rdeal. Lou Ferrigno acted his heart out as Sinbad. Truth. Representing not one, nor two, but all seven Cs. In this feel good movie of the decade, Sinbad makes me love being a man.

What? Yes. What? Yes. I get it. What? Yes. I get it. I get it. I don't want to give away too much, but yes, there is some Simbad on Simbad action.

Ooh, mommy. And the princess is so hot. Preteen boys could so watch this at sleepovers after the parents fall asleep This is this is a wow, this is creep city and then time Continues by saying and Sinbad is hot too Everybody's happy Gotta go dot dot dot outside. What? What? Five stars.

Oh my God. What does outside mean? Why is he outside? Gotta go. Cool down? Outside? Is he here now? Gotta go dot dot dot means I turned myself on

so much writing this review. Yeah. I've gotta go jerk off. But outside? Well, I mean that is what a creep would do. It's true. Now, this is what a creep would do. It's true. Now, this is a first and second opinions. There is no review.

This is only the title. I've never seen this before. My name is Tim Bergman. When you sold me Sinbad, it was in Spanish. I am not Spanish. I am English Tim. Five stars. That's a haiku. Wait a second, I'm looking over there and it says,

I'm from Boise. Weird. Oh my god. Interesting, Maybe I am English Jim. Maybe using a computer at the library to post that review. Holy cow. This movie, what a treat. Wow. It does. You got a good one. You got something. You got one for the record books. Would you recommend this movie Jason? Fuck yeah man. Fuck yeah. Like I said it's like not even an hour and a half. It's dumb as hell but like very watchable. Yeah. In ways that are truly confounding. I will say that it doesn't answer any of the questions I had which

kept me interested. The movie is playing hard to get Jess Absolutely, you know what I'd like to do is have like a Sunday gathering and just put this on in the background You know, there's no threat of zombies in it. There's no threat of anything. You have a smile on this kind of zombies in it Yeah, there's definitely the undead But they're not scary, they're fun. The slime monster, the rock monster. By the way, this man never uses his sword. He always takes it out and then immediately throws it away.

He throws it away or it breaks on the first thing. The other thing that is constantly happening throughout all the battle sequences is they're just dropping in the sounds of clattering swords, even when no swords have hit. Or clattering, I know. Like, it'll be like, somebody will punch someone, it'll be a clang clang. And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's not what just happened.

So go ahead, you want to play in the background. And the other thing would be fun is to do like a costume party where everyone comes dressed as a character. Ooh, I like this. You know, that would be fun. I also feel like, if you told me that the costume designer was given $50 and said to go to Party City and just see what they could find and they built a story around that, I would believe it.

The best set is the set in like Jafar's little studio. The studio. Yeah. Where the princess is captive in the machine. Which makes me think that the director came back on board and might have shot those scenes as well. And it was available. Right. Somebody else had it.

It was like Buck Rogers had like a side swing set. That was another one. Boy oh boy. Did I want to get it from both of them by Buck Rogers. That's right. BD BD BD BD BD. Yeah baby. Both guns. Yeah baby. By the way, which Buck Rogers? The one with the be-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee It's not like I didn't know until the end of the movie. They were in an active volcano. Yeah. Had no idea. Wait, they were. What? Yeah. He throws them into molten lava at the end.

You don't just have lava around without a volcano, do you? Can you wait? Real talk. We were they in a volcano? Can you ever get an established shot of that? Like lava and magma and no volcano? No. I mean, I guess you go deep, deep, deep underground. Yes, yes, yes, of course, of course. Okay. Well, again, one... one plot hole.

What maybe... what maybe supports this theory that these are reshoots is that Sucra maybe never fights Lou Ferrigno because they never worked on the movie together. Right. Like, she and Jafar shot all that stuff later. Right, because that's the only scenes that are not ADR, too, which makes me think he had enough money. He's like, half a million dollars, I'll record audio on the day, and I'll give you a great mother-daughter story.

Yeah, and by then, Sucra has three kids and is living in Boise. By the way, she's like giving up acting. She's like, fuck this noise. Let me go live a quieter life. I will say it is kind of progressive to have it be a mother daughter telling the story. Like in a way, right? I mean, no, everything's wrong with I, if you told me that that woman abducted that child and that

they are on the run boy wouldn't that be interesting like if the blue curtain fell away and they are in like a post-apocalyptic yes like it's like go to sleep go to sleep mommy to sin bad save them? Yes, yes. Will Sinbad save me? Yeah. We hope. We hope he does. I loved it. I just thought that once we got to the Island of the Dead, I was like, wow, we're still here. It's very repetitive. It's very repetitive. You can't fight two separate dead armies.

You also can't just fight slow. You can't fight slow. They get slower as the movie goes on. That's not fun. And there's a lot of just like, even the hand to hand is just like, errr, errr, errr. It's not, there's no fight choreography. There's nothing really going on. They might not have had the budget for it.

Certainly not. But, what a great film. Jason, want to promote anything? Oh yeah, I'll shout out Invincible, season three on Amazon Prime. Woo! Just wrapped up. I was walking here and two lovely young men were like,

are you Rex Blowed? And I was like, wow. I like that. To be recognized as an animated character was pretty cool.
