Yeah! It's the Beaks of Glory, interviewed a dude named Edmund created ducks videos,
chatted all things ducks and had so much fun.
It's the Beaks of Glory.
This is the Cake Eaters podcast.
My name is Brandon, that's Heath.
What it is.
With another beautiful sing song for us.
Riddididoo, Cake Eaters.
We have a special episode for everybody today.
We talked with Edmund Haneland,
who's the creator of Minor Character Theater.
He does these great mockumentary episodes,
or mockumentary videos on YouTube,
playing minor characters as the title would suggest,
of various 80s and 90s movies.
And he does a three part mockumentary one for each D, my deducts installment.
D1, D2 and D3.
And they're fantastic.
Real bangers.
Let's be honest.
Like these you sent these videos over to me, Brandon and found him on TikTok.
He was a random. He was a random TikTok scroll find.
So it was amazing.
Oh, shout out.
TikTok bringing the world together because my God, as soon as I dipped my
toe into it and he was doing an interview as a member of the Hawks team from the
point of D1 calling out all the things, right?
I think that that's what like stuck out to these videos the most to me was like he called out all of the things that we saw, you know, and it was very
validating. Yes, it was the most validating video watches ever. It's like, you know, yes, we agree
with every single point that was made in these videos. Have you seen the meme where it's from,
in these videos. Shout out. Have you seen the meme where it's from, what's it called? What's the Tarantino movie? The
latest one that he did with Leo and Brad Pitt about the Manson murders?
Oh, oh!
What's Upon a Time in Hollywood.
It's the scene where Leo is like watching TV and he's like, oh, oh, oh, oh, and he's
pointing at it. That's how I felt throughout all of his, uh, mockumentary.
I brought that up.
It was all of the Brandon things, right?
From the articles to the Trinidad and Tobago, although he does not agree with you on D3.
And it was very, nobody does.
It was very validating for me to hear someone agree with everything I've ever said about D3.
You're not, I'm in the minority for D3, you know.
Brandon, I think the point you're missing is that I'm always right.
Anyways, Brandon, yeah, the, these minor character theater episodes were fantastic, Honestly, from beginning to end explaining the, the wormholes that
were created through Fulton's shot, the velocity of Fulton shot in the first
one and what it would take to push the goalie through the back of the net.
The velocity would have created a wormhole in his testicle.
Um, and we had a lot of fun talking about him too, right?
Like, you know, this is just carrying the ducks torch.
I was somewhat validated about Game Changers only for it to be concluded
that it is unfortunately.
We finally put an end to that debate, Brandon.
We put an end to the Game Changers debate.
That's I don't know how much of a debate it was. I agree with you. Game Changers is objectively
terrible. My point that I've been trying to make though is that it still exists. It's there.
But they're trying, they've wiped it from there.
And you know what Heath? You can't let them. You can't let them.
Okay. I guess, I guess I-
You can't let me, you gotta stick it to the man.
You can't let them win.
You should have let Disney do whatever they want.
I guess you're, I mean, you're not wrong, you know?
Like, I guess I just needed to hear it
from a different point of view that it's still canon.
Kelly says I do this to her all the time.
She's like, well, you just need to hear it from someone else
and then y'all believe it.
And so I guess this is just one of those moments again,
I guess.
Spot on Kelly impression.
She'd be so mad at you for saying that.
It kind of sounds like my mom.
It did say it was definitely more mama D than it was Kelly.
Mama D all over it.
But yeah, so I guess, you know, I have to just shut up now every time that we do these game changers movies and I have to start.
We haven't done one in a long time.
We haven't, but I got to start approaching it like our friends down in Permian, right?
With full eyes and half and black.
Wait, hold on. Full hearts and
your eyes, full hearts.
Son of a bitch. I had it. I had it clear eyes, full hearts. I fucked that up.
That would have been good, but I messed it up. Yeah. Got tongue tied.
We haven't done a, um, we haven't done a game changer thing in a while.
And good news for you, I don't think we have anything lined up.
That's, that's perfect.
Cause we're doing Dawson's Creek again soon.
And by George, I cannot wait.
I don't want to wait.
We're going to, we're going to tee up season two soon.
Tell me, I won't know right now.
Will it be?
I just don't know if you can get better soundtracks and Dawson's Creek.
That would have been another, I wish.
Do you think has, we need to dig into, um, Edmonds videos a little bit further
because, um, we might need to do like a collab on Dawson's Creek or something.
Yeah.
You know, you know what I mean?
I got to see if we.
That might be too, cause he, that might be too late for him.
I don't know if that's in his wheelhouse.
Hmm.
We can check.
That's like, that's, that's, that's creeping into the 2000s.
He's more of an eighties, nineties guy.
I know, but like, dude, a couple, a couple of co-conspirators doing season one
of Dawson's Creek and doing a minor character video, like from, God, who's it?
Who's a minor character in that town?
Oh, this is actually a fun game that we could play.
Like who is a minor character in the show or movie that we're watching
that would actually tell a hilarious story from their point of view.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like a customer in the video store when the, when the teacher is hitting on
Basie, it's like, Hey, I've never felt more uncomfortable in a video store.
It would be sweet.
Now that you mentioned that it would be really easy because it's such a small
town. You would just, you just do a random townie and then he just happens to
be at all the places that shit's going down.
You know,
like there's an episode of community where, um, they're like suddenly Jack
Black is there.
And then they just show clips from like the first half of the season. And he's just like randomly.
It's like, yeah, like throw like chiming in on like the random scenes.
Very well done.
Yeah.
You can do something like that.
Um, yeah, I'll go check out Edmund, uh, is his YouTube channel.
It's my minor character theater.
It's on YouTube and TikTok as well.
The videos are fantastic.
He's got three parts of the ducks.
At the end of the third part he alludes to heavyweights, which that video he dropped
a little while ago, so heavyweights is up there too.
He mentioned his favorite video that he did was Over the top, which is a great, great movie. Um,
the only question I thought about bringing up,
cause that's the kid from rookie of the year, right?
Not the main kid from rookie of the year, but his buddy, right?
I think so, man. It's been a while since I've seen over the,
over the top is not, it's not his fat friend, but it's the,
it's the weird little friend.
All I can think about from over the top is just turning the hat backwards.
Go Mo just, just getting,
Oh no, it's not him.
Nevermind. I'm thinking of something else.
Have you seen the YouTube video of Braun Strowman being like a real prick to this
professional arm wrestling dude?
And so the professional arm wrestling dude is just like, dude,
you're being a huge jackass right now and then he just works him and gives him this like brawn is screaming and
freaking out and that you know just gives him a little smirk and crushes him you know it's a work
right oh was it oh ross ron was not that big of an asshole. Are you sure?
I know exactly what video you're talking about.
Those are always.
Oh, damn it.
I'm such a mark.
My God.
I was. It's not the kid from Rookie of the Year.
I was thinking of.
I was getting my movies mixed up.
I was thinking of the Hulk Hogan movie, not the not the Stallone movie.
What's the Hulk Hogan movie name where he's like the nanny.
Mr. Nanny.
Mr. Nanny.
Come on.
That's the kid from rookie of the year.
Brandon, were you, were you taking a lap on my purchased prime movies again?
No.
Do you have it on there?
Come on.
Is it, is it an obscure nineties movie that makes no sense for someone to own?
Yeah, dude. Of course I have it.
Is there a...
There's Hulk Hogan. That movie was on HBO all the time when I was a little kid.
We rented that bad boy from Captain Video. We were a Captain Video family, not Hollywood.
Captain... I've never heard of Captain Video.
It might have been just a Wayne America thing.
We, cause they had, I was a blockbuster kid, like a true American.
He's we didn't have blockbuster and Wayne, um, but captain video, the non new
releases were only a dollar.
And so we would, we would go grab, you know, scrounge some quarters and go rent
all the wrestling VHS is that they had.
I think I watched the 1992 Royal rumble a thousand times.
Like the one where Rick Flair goes to war song.
What where Rick Flair goes the distance with a tear in my eye.
Brandon.
You shit me. You don't know Brandon. You shit me?
You don't know anything.
You don't know anything about the Royal Rumble, Brandon.
My God.
This is why we don't have nice things.
Anyways, what else do you have to say
before we kick it over to this amazing interview
that we just did with our boy Edmund,
the new, our new number one YouTube channel that the pod supports, right?
Yeah. Any new hatreds you want to talk about, Heath?
I do hate the fact that my boy Ran Tannen got his revenge on the Avs. I was pretty sad. I was pretty sad about that.
Did you see the game last night, though? He put up a big goose egg like the fucking loser he is.
Yanks, I feel like that was a little unnecessary.
The dude's dead to me.
Rand Tannen is dead to me.
I haven't watched a single second of it, but the NBA.
Well, I mean, like sometimes I'll put it on while I'm playing FIFA,
but the NBA playoffs have been better than expected.
Yeah, I do love the Celtics implosion.
Wait, this might not age very well.
So I'm going to timestamp this.
This is this is right before game three starts.
So the downo to their employee right now.
Yeah, now that I've said that, it's I probably just jinxed it
and they're going to win four in a row.
Oh, 1000 percent.
1000 percent. that it's probably just jinxed it and they're going to win four in a row. Oh, 1000%. 1000%.
I do.
We do have to talk about the, the Winnipeg jets and their Stanley cup video song.
We got to talk about that brain.
And that might be, I've never so unanimously been like, I, I will never root
for this team, Like I was rough.
It was rough.
I hope that Winnipeg never sees a cup.
My God, that was, I've never rooted for speaking of like, you know, AI saying
that I'm actually the hater on the podcast.
Like, but I have never so quickly turned on a team where I was like, I don't
really give a shit about the jets.
Like, you know, like I always feel bad for the Canadian hockey teams that don't
really win a lot. You know what I mean? Like I always kind of like, I'm like,
good for them when they win.
Like I get excited for Canadian teams winning cause they just, they love it so much.
But as soon as I like a half a second into that video, I was like, my God,
it was like, um, the jets I'm out. Yep. They, they, they're definitely not going to win this year.
That that's still did, still the fate for sure. It's like, um, during one last
night during March madness, um, St.
John's like right before March madness started St.
John's went on Jimmy Fallon and they did like, uh, you know,
you remember when, uh, sea shanties were a big thing.
They're not anymore. Love, sea shanties were a big thing? Oh, they're not anymore. I love some sea shanties.
They're not exactly.
No, they're not anymore, but they went on Jimmy Fallon and they did a
Soon may the Wellerman come to bring a sugar and tea and rum.
They did that song, but they, you know, turned it into a St.
John's basketball song.
And this
once was a ship that put two C in the name of the ship was the Billy O T. Yeah, but it's, it was like St. John's basketball song. Once was a ship that put two C in the name of the ship was the Billy O T.
Yeah, but it was like St.
John's theme.
So you gotta, so you're, you're singing the wrong song.
But, um, I just, as soon as that dropped though, I was like, they're not going
that they, they sealed their fate.
They're not winning and they didn't.
Um, and it proved, uh, two things.
One, um, making parody songs is a quick death. It's a surefire jinx, which
is why you start every single episode with one. That's why our podcast numbers are so
terrible. But and then number two, it's still the fact that Jimmy Fallon fucking sucks.
What do we do with the drunken sailor? What do we do with the drunken sailor? What do we do with the drunken sailor?
Lying in the morning.
I would not be surprised if it comes out that Jimmy Fallon was behind the Winnipeg Jets song. I bet you he is. That fucking son of a bitch. God damn it, I hate Jimmy Fallon.
Yeah, I don't know what your beef is. I mean, he's I, I really used to love a lot of his old sketches.
Like, his sketches are terrible. His movies are God awful when and he, he is, he's not
single-handedly responsible, but he is majority. His, he has the majority of the responsibility.
He bears the majority of the responsibility for making lip-syncing a thing again.
Oh, what's... dude, we won the fourth grade lip-sync with Womp There It Is.
Yeah, and that should have been the end of lip-syncing and then Gob...
It was!
It was the end of lip-syncing.
Tag team back again!
What?
I said that was the end of lip-syncing. It died out. And then fucking Jimmy Fallon gets a late night show and he starts bringing it back like an idiot.
Did we.
The guys that I one of the guys that I did the fourth grade lip sync with was the one that got married in Cancun and it was like a mini high school reunion and did you want to perform.
Oh, we threw down on someone there it it is. Brandon. Like it was,
did you perform it though? Yeah. Everyone, you know,
like Kyle and I were just hanging out singing in the middle of the crowd.
We didn't stand up. There's no stage or anything. Brandon.
It's just like wedding dancing where they do like the circles, you know,
like they do like the circles and you know,
through lip sync or what a broad stage.
Well, we didn't lip sync. We were, we were feeling good. So we were singing,
screaming it off key. Great. Great.
Well, you're a hater Brandon. Um, I do have to say the one thing that I wish I
would have asked that I forgot was, um, he did a nod to Mary Kate and Ashley.
And I didn't get to bring that up.
We didn't bring it up.
And I didn't get to ask him what his favorite Mary Kate and Ashley, uh, movie
was. Yeah. You know, I was curious because you know, me, I'm a big, um, double
trouble for Halloween to
grandmother's house we go for Christmas.
Those are those are fresh from the childhood.
You know, because what's it rare?
Not rare Ripley, Ray Perlman crushes it.
Grandmother's house we go talk about that.
But that was a matter of Rhea Ripley in an American national movie.
That'd be amazing.
Sign me up.
Brandon, I don't even know how to tell you how disgusting you just sounded right there. Like, there are so many, like you can't be putting a goddess that, you know, like Rhea Ripley in
a children's movie. She is- I didn't say a children's movie. I said American National
Movie. Those are children's. Oh, I thought you meant a kids movie.
It's like, what's wrong with you?
Do you Ray Ripley into grandmother's house?
We go is disturbing.
Honestly, I would watch that too.
But my point was we need to dust Mary Kate nationally.
They're career off here.
We bring them back current day still fighting crime those detectives.
And then you bring realhea can be the villain.
Then speaking of you, you,
you're, you always bring them whenever you bring a Mary Kate and Ashley,
you always bring up the early when they're like little tiny kids.
Did you ever watch the older movies? There weren't no, cause I got too old.
That was my jam. Like The New York Minute, right?
Yeah, New York Minute.
Billboard Dad, dude. That's a great one.
Kelly made me watch one, but I fell asleep during it.
What's the fuck? What's the other one?
Billboard Dad.
While you're looking that up, Brandon.
Passport to Paris?
Holiday in the Sun?
Our lips are sealed when they're in Australia. That's when I say,
dude, some of those like looking back at those Mary Kate and Ashley movies,
it reminds me a lot of like what they did with Elvis in his movies.
And I just hope that I just hope that they were drugged a lot less.
It's a good correlation. They were probably, I don't think.
Yeah. Honestly, that's a very spot on spot on comparison.
Yeah. That's how I have a hard time with those movies sometimes.
Although I did watch a blue Hawaii with my mom.
Blue Hawaii is Elvis movie. Oh, I was like, I don't remember that Mary
Kate and Ashley movie. Yeah, it's an Elvis movie.
And we always, we always watch McClintock when I'm back, the John Wayne classic.
We just, um, and that's how, like, anyways, it's, it's, there's just many good lines
in McClintock.
Uh, one of the, our family always, so we always yell people, people, people, cause that's
what the guy always does to get everyone's attention.
So that's, and then, um, on a coffee mug from that exact movie, he said, um, he
says, curly, don't say it's a fine morning or I'll shoot you.
I always thought that was a good, that was a good line to kick off the movie
because he's hung over from, you know, partying.
Cause his, his wife is in New York being an aristocrat. Really complex layers in that movie.
When you think about it, I'm looking at our lips are sealed here.
The it came out in 2000, but the 90s, I guess 90s and early 2000s fashion
that these all of these actors are sporting is crazy.
What a wild time the late 90s, early 2000s were men.
How quick do you think Edmund blocks me when I start recommending he do minor character
theater episodes on the unhinged movies that I like that no one else likes?
I mean, it's that he, he brought up over the top as his favorite thing, and his Jean-Claude Van Damme knowledge
was unparalleled.
Yeah.
So you might be right up his alley.
Thanks Brandon.
I actually, I appreciate that.
You know, like that's, cause like usually when I start thinking about things that I
like, I just assume that like, you know, it's like, well, I have terrible taste
in 90% of the things that I do, fashion, music, movies.
Like, Kelly roasts my Spotify rap all the time.
She's like, all right.
She's like, this is the Spotify rap
of someone that's unwell.
He's like, this is.
So I appreciated that validation there.
But anyways, you know, I, you know, long story short,
we kind of did what we do best,
which is talk about nothing as we kick up the,
the interview,
but I had an absolute blast talking ducks with Edmund
because, you know, I think,
I think my favorite thing Brandon is it like you and I are
unhinged psychopaths about the ducks and
yes, to find someone that brought the same level of detail and care into like
his, the way he watched the movies to prepare for those.
It, I think it's what made it so much fun is it's not just me and you
talking shop about the ducks like we
always do. It's like, no, there are other humans out there that love and appreciate
the ducks movies for everything that they are just like we do.
Yes. Yeah. His, uh, like I, like I mentioned earlier, it was very validating
watching his videos because it was, he brought up a lot of the points that I brought up. And then he brought up,
he went deep diving into other stuff that I didn't even think about.
Like when he pinpointed the exact sports illustrated swimsuit edition that they
were looking at, it was amazing.
The cover model, actually Montana, dude, actually Montana.
It's like such a good 90s Sports Illustrated cover model name too.
You know, he even mentioned the, the swimsuit, like the actual swimsuit, um,
when the hat and the, and the exact hat she was wearing.
Yeah.
He got it all.
Oh, you know, it was the best.
We definitely need to have him back on.
Yeah.
Take the fall act hurt, Hurt. Get indignant.
Without further ado, here's our interview with Edmund and Minor Characters Theater.

Welcome listeners.
It's your good friend Heath, joined as always by Brandon.
Today we have an extremely special treat for you as we welcome Edmund Handlin, hope I said Brian Heath, joined as always by Brandon. Today we have an extremely special treat for you
as we welcome Edmund Handlin, hope I said that right,
the creator of Minor Character Theater.
Make sure to hop on his YouTube,
subscribe and check out his videos
where he dives into a lot of your favorite movies.
But today, as always, we're here to discuss
The Mighty Ducks and his rendition of the movies
where he put together Beaks of Glory,
where he tells the story through three variations
of the same character.
Welcome, Edmund.
Edmund, just tell the folks a little bit
about yourself quick.
Well, thanks guys.
I'm a reality TV editor by trade,
and I started doing these minor character theaters
as just
sort of a way to stay kind of like busy and kind of keep up with practice in between shows.
And it sort of kind of took off with the Ninja Turtles one and then after a couple other
ones, I was like, I got to do Mighty Ducks. And I did the first one and it was kind of
a big hit and I was like, well, I got to do a second one and the second one did really well. And then by the time I was, I was not going to
do D3. D3 is not my favorite of the three by far. But there was such like a response
to it. And a lot of people ask great questions about like, you know, Gunnerstall being in
both D2 and D3, the principal from Mighty Ducks 1 being the English teacher.
So I just kind of wanted to,
I felt like I had to do it in many ways.
So it was interesting to figure out a way to do that one.
Oh, that's amazing.
And it kind of actually leads into my first question,
cause you mentioned one of my other favorite trilogies,
the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
We won't talk about the amount of hate I got
for my takes on the newest movie.
We'll just move right past that.
But I'm just curious,
what is your process going into your selection of the movies?
Like what kind of inspires you
and what inspired you to make that first Ducks movie or video?
The first, wow.
I mean, what inspires it?
I mean, I'm an eighties, nineties kid at heart.
So like I grew up with these movies, Ninja Turtles,
I wore out the VHS on, Mighty Ducks, similar situation.
I mean, it was always on growing up, I felt like,
especially the first one.
So I just loved watching those movies growing up in like, sort of, you know,
in a similar way to, you know, things like honest trailers or pitch meaning. I just sort
of kind of was trying, you know, taking what I know from reality TV editing and documentary
filmmaking and sort of applying that, you know, in a comedy, documentary, mockumentary format. I love mockumentaries too.
That's another like spinal tap or best in show.
And with The Mighty Ducks,
how do you not love The Mighty Ducks?
It's like such a classic like kids sports movie.
I never played hockey growing up, but like that didn't matter
cause it's such a relatable
timeless classic tale.
Yeah, I guess that's how it all started with the Mighty Ducks.
For jumping onto D2 and D3.
I'm glad you mentioned that you wore out the VHS when you were a kid because we were wondering
how big of an actual Ducks fan you are because the attention to detail is insane.
The thing that stood out to me was I love the fact that you were able to pinpoint the
exact Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition that they had in the box.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, I did a little bit of research for this one and learning a lot about Minnesota hockey
culture and like the name of your guys' podcast, Cake Eaters podcast.
I had no idea.
I thought that was just sort of like a, I don't know, some sort of insult because you
hear it I think in Clueless in a very different context.
But, yeah, knowing that it was based on like a hockey team, correct me if I'm wrong, from
like the 1930s.
Yeah, yeah, back then for sure.
Yeah.
And, yeah, so it was interesting to do so much research on D1 and D2.
D3 was a complete left turn as far as what I did,
just because I just completely ignored the actual plot
of the movie and created a new narrative
based on Shutter Island.
Yeah.
I did not put that together until right now.
Oh my gosh, it all clicked.
That's fantastic. Awesome.
The other thing, there were so many in the first, the D1 that you brought up in your part one,
Sports Illustrated obviously. Then I love the fact that you pointed out the speech he gives when he's teaching them how to fall and all that stuff.
And he brings up, get indignant. I think we did a whole,
a whole like five minutes on there's no way any of these kids know what that word means.
Right. I don't think I knew what that word meant when I was there.
I'm like, you're going to ask carp what indignant means.
Like, yeah, that's not happening.
Yeah. We had no idea. I had no idea what it means.
I had to look it up before we did the episode. I was like, what exactly does that mean?
Everyone Googled it.
Or back then we all had to pull out our dictionary from the bookshelf.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Or the encyclopedia Britannica.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
My parents actually still have their full set of world books.
It is astounding.
Oh, yeah. I think I said the world books.
You can't get rid of those. Those are for life.
The information is so outdated at this point.
You paid how much for them in the 90s? You can't just throw them away.
Another thing I love that you pointed out, that you brought up was the number one hockey
publication. I forget what it's called in the movie, but the news articles they do. Let's play hockey magazine. Is that what it's called? I think. Yes. The number
one news hockey organization in the world. Number one hockey publication in America. It's such a
bold claim for a newspaper. And that is your byline. It stood out to me. And then, you know, looking closer at the image and you
see all those like horrible grammatical errors in the actual text of the art. And I don't
know if you guys noticed this, but the two authors that are mentioned in the in the articles
are actually the editors of the movie. Oh, I don't think we picked that up. Oh, my gosh,
that's a layer. One of them is, is them is John Link, I think is the name.
And then there's like a different name
that I mentioned in the video.
And yeah, they're the two editors of the first two movies.
Okay.
Oh, that's an amazing layer.
Cause that is the step that Brandon picks up on
that just it always like,
I'm just always in there for good vibes and having a good time.
And then Brandon comes to me and he's like, Keith, did you zoom in on it?
It was nonsense.
And I was like, what?
I paused it, zoomed in and I read it line by line.
Every article was.
Yeah.
There's when you read it as a whole, this doesn't make any sense at all.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Some of it's just, you know, gobbledygook, but,
yeah, but it gets even worse in D2.
Yeah.
D the, the news articles in D2, uh, those ones are even worse.
Those ones, I literally just copied pasted like the, the random, you know,
stuff that populates whenever you're, you're doing articles.
Well, it's funny in D2 cause I had to go through almost frame by frame
at one point, because it is taken from USA Today,
some of the articles.
So you do see Brian Boitano does well
at the Olympics or something like that.
But I think there's even at one point where,
I could be wrong, but somebody controversial,
it might be OJ Simpson or somebody else.
Like there's like a snippet of an article about them.
Nice.
Yeah, I have to go back.
Yeah, I can't remember.
There's definitely something along those lines where it mentions somebody.
I think there's one, there's one little snippet in one of those articles from D2 where it
starts, it like shifts from talking about the hockey game to like, it starts talking about like a,
not a terrorist attack, but like an event that happened
that was like, you know, I forget exactly what it was,
but the additio articles are wild.
Yeah.
I just have to get this ADHD thought out of my brain.
I now will have the South Park Brian Boitano song
stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Like it's over.
I don't know if you're familiar,
but like I just, like my brain just went full speed
into what would Brian Boitano do?
Yeah.
Yes.
Anyways, speaking of D2
and the amazing Trinidad and Tobago Jersey
that you have on, we also are, we went all in on a,
I loved Cool Skates, but we agreed 1000%.
I think we spent almost six episodes
on building out this movie.
Talk to us about this.
Yeah, Cool Skating's like,
I honestly think they could do this
as a legitimate legitimate plus series.
Yes. And I like it.
It writes itself.
I mean, you know, you already know how it ends.
Like they clearly don't win the junior Goodwill games.
But like, who cares?
Like we already knew how cool running was going to end.
So why not just like, like make an awesome show that's like set in the 90s?
Why not just make an awesome show that's set in the 90s, that's a mirror to what the D2 ducks are going through?
You can somehow even have Kenan Thompson play his own dad as a character somehow.
Russ Tyler's dad, I hadn't thought about that.
I think there's a really funny, smart way that you could do it that's still Disney appropriate
and heartwarming and tells a good story.
But it's insane when you watch it back.
I hadn't even noticed it until I watched it probably about a year ago.
You see the Trinidad kids and you're like, wait a minute, why am I cheering for the ducks?
This is the real underdog. This is the real story here. Like kids from a Caribbean island that
probably doesn't have ice. And like I did the research on it, there is no ice rink on Trinidad
or Tobago. Like there's one on an island like next to it,
but like, or there used to be one
and it closed down or something like, yeah,
but there's no possibility
unless it's like all street hockey.
Yeah.
I envision it like the end of Rudy,
where it's like the climax is Trinidad and Tobago
scoring that goal against the US of like,
we have conquered, we have scored our first goal in the tournament. And then the eruption of steel
drums. Does it get any better than the eruption of steel drums? Yeah, I think, I think it could even
be played out that they come in third. Like, oh, that gives them like a medal to compete for.
Yeah. I don't know. I think it could have, it could have, they take down Italy in the third place game.
Those Italians, it's wild that like, I had forgotten how just like, like,
I don't know if the word is racist or just sort of like ethnically slurring
Goldberg is to that point. It's really, it's like worse than Alan Arkin in So I Married
an Axe Murderer, when you try to up the talk against Mike Myers' friend. You know, he's on, you know, it's so ridiculous.
Did you have enough meatballs today or whatever he says?
Yes.
Oh God.
Yeah, that was, yeah, that's crazy.
Oh, that was, because we did a whole bit about that,
about his Goldberg slurs and yeah, crazy.
But yeah, the Trinidad Tobago, though,
we talked about it. We were jokingly
like trying to, you know, how can you expand the Mighty Ducks universe? And that was like the one
legit idea that we were like tossing around was the Trinidad and Tobago movie. Because yeah,
like you said, there's so much potential. It would be amazing, I think. Even if you did a shitty version of it, I still think it would be great.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
I think you could have a lot of fun in a great tropical location.
I do like that you mentioned the...
Because there's no ice, so you'd have to do the street skating.
Because that's one of the great scenes in D2 is when they're doing the roller, the roller
skating in downtown LA. So you could, you could mirror that really. But it's also, it's also how
they kind of did it in cool runnings too, with the sort of like bobsled races that they sort of trained on. Yeah, I think, yeah, there's
so much potential. And I think there's like a lot of interesting like problem solving
you could do, you know, teaching the kids how to skate on actual ice like versus, you know, street or, you know, road services.
Um, I don't know. Disney's, if Disney's listening, we're here for it.
We, we, we are there with bells on for it. This is my last question for you on it though,
because John Candy was such a big part of the original movie, right? Who would you potentially
cast in that? Cause he, you know, I loved Dougie Doug as the coach, right?
Come on, that's like on the nose,
but like maybe John Candy's more of a GM or something.
Like what, who would you cast in that?
Well, it's, I mean, that's interesting.
Cause like, do you go the sort of cool runnings route
of sort of like a disgraced, you know, former athlete,
you know, who's now like sort of like an disgraced former athlete
who's now sort of like an expat living on the islands.
Because clearly there is like the sort of the coach
in the movie who I sort of joke looks like
Daveed Diggs could play him.
And, but yeah, I wonder who would be like
the John Candy equivalent. Jack Black I who would be like the John Candy, like equivalent.
I think Jack Black, I think would be too broad, like for like too big of a personality for that kind of a role.
Um, I mean, just, I'm just thinking in terms of like physicality and like like comedy sort of stylings.
Um, God, who would be the John Candy role?
And who would be the John Candy role?
I always go Kevin James, but it's just because I have a weird affinity
for his terrible movies.
Like here comes the boom stuff.
You do love Kevin James.
I do, I don't know what it is.
It was like his early standup about him jumping rope,
like sweating, the bit he did about sweating.
He's like, did you just jump rope in an attic?
He's like, no, I peeled an orange about an hour ago.
Nothing spoke to a young, big, sweaty dude,
like to me than that, you know what I mean?
Like we were just, he really spoke to me.
I think like for something like,
it's interesting because John Candy
doesn't really look like a bobsledder.
But I'm trying to think of like,
who like could plausibly be
a former hockey player. And I like just randomly Woody Harrelson popped in my mind. So that's
a possibility.
Woody would be good. Yeah, that would be fascinating.
Sort of like living the tropical life to escape, you know, his, his troubles.
Yeah.
You could, you could bring some of like the hunger games, ask into it,
have them be like a drunk, you know,
drunk guy.
What is it?
A Hamish something or other?
Yeah.
Hamish Abernathy.
You pulled that way too quick.
Oh, I, my audio listening, like my audible collection
would be embarrassing.
It kind of looks like a 13 year old boys or girls,
if I'm being honest.
Nothing but the YA novels.
Yeah.
Yeah, a lot of Harry Potter, a lot of Hunger Games,
you know, no big deal.
Look at it.
Another thing from D2 that I loved was the knuckle puck explanation.
The vortex.
Yeah, you described it as a wormhole, I believe.
So funnily enough, in the first one, I used sort of the Stephen Hawking interview that happens off screen as a device to talk about Fulton
Reed's Slapshot.
And then I kind of used it the same with the Knuckle Puck.
And my initial plan was to use sort of like a voice modulation of Stephen Hawking, which
there are websites where you can just type in.
Yeah.
And I sort of drew sort of an ethical line at that, that's almost getting into AI recreating
someone else's voice, even though it's Stephen Hawking and it's a digitally created voice.
Just a little too on the nose.
It felt a little too on the nose,
maybe a little too mean spirited
that I'm like putting words in his mouth.
Like, so I left it as just sort of like a joke
that happens off screen, but I think it still works.
I loved it.
And also, sorry, also about the second movie.
I thought this was great.
You learned Icelandic, like you had a line that was-
I did learn a little bit of Icelandic, yeah.
I don't know if I actually like 100% got it right
or like the pronunciation totally right.
Okay.
But yeah, the so, would you like to discuss
the Junior Goodwill games?
I loved every second about that.
I was like, hold the phone, like talk about commitment to the bit.
Like that was actual Icelandic and you fooled me on the pronunciation.
So I was curious.
Did you get any feedback from listeners on that at all?
No, I actually thought I would that some like, you know, professor or student of,
you know, Icelandic or somebody from Iceland would sort of call me on it.
Um, yeah, it hasn't happened yet yet. Doesn't mean it won't.
Yeah. I think you're safe though, because I feel like if you would have, they would have,
they would have jumped on you if you would have pronounced it wrong, you know?
It's not a lot of grace with that.
Yeah. Yeah. Another bit from the part two that I loved was anytime you were talking about
Team Iceland
being goons and taking cheap shots,
you kept saying, that's just a common response in Iceland.
Common response in Iceland.
Well, it's funny, and somebody actually pointed this out
in the comments that maybe it was supposed to be
Soviet Union and the fall of the Soviet Union
happened right in the middle of production or pre-production and they had to switch to Iceland as sort of like a default like, we
don't know much about it but it sounds scary and vaguely threatening from a European perspective.
When everything I've ever heard about Iceland is that it's a very beautiful place with very
lovely people.
Lots of people go on like amazing vacations where you get to see beautiful waterfalls and like, you know, volcano stuff. Um, so I, it, it
is funny to me that like Iceland is sort of turned into the like typical 90s vaguely European
villain, um, for GQ. But I do wonder if it was like a historical like timing thing with the fall of the Soviet Union
Which would kind of make sense like timing wise
So we we looked into it when we were trying to eat to you and it wasn't it wasn't necessarily the Soviet Union timing
But the Stephen Brill together writer he he just mentioned that every everybody did Soviet Union
So I think he kind of wrote it as a Soviet Union, but he was like, maybe we should switch it up just to be different. But the reason they
chose Iceland is because he was roommates, or his roommate was best
friends with Maria, who's the the blonde the trainer in the movie. His best
friend was roommates with them. And so his roommate was best friends with her.
And so he was like, Oh, you're Icelandic.
I'll let's do Iceland.
Yeah.
So that's, that's how they settled on Iceland.
Okay.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
It's interesting.
Okay.
Um, and so I want to transition this to the last movie cause you kind of
touched on it a little bit, D3 where they play for what I consider the
lowest of stakes in the history of sports. Stakes in the history of sports movies. Like it, it, it counts for nothing, nothing.
It's a scrimmage in the middle of the season.
Well, it's, it's so interesting because I was thinking about it, like, like D1 and D2 are very
much Gordon Bombay movies. Like, like he is the main character in D1 and D2 in both regards. In
D1 it's like his journey of becoming a coach. D2 it's his journey of rejecting capitalism
but ultimately embracing it. But then D3 is this weird journey of Charlie. And you try
and boil down Charlie's problem in it.
And it really just boils down to,
he can't play for a team that isn't called the ducks.
And it's like, and I just thought about it,
like extrapolating further in life.
Like he goes to like, you know, pub trivia and it's like,
yeah, Charlie, we try and make like a fun little team name.
And he's like, no, we're called the ducks.
Oh my God.
I never thought of it that way either.
Like I just some mental block.
And it starts.
You see hints of it in D2 when they first
are handed the Hendrix USA jersey.
He's like, what is this?
We're.
Yeah, we.
It's like I got so mad about that.
You're playing the team.
You as a America, like the dream team is like happening around this time.
Like you should be proud. Like you're upset that it's not green and yellow and with a duck on it.
Like it's sort of it's hinted at in D2. But then that's like the crux of D3 is he just can't get over not playing for Gordon and not being
on the ducks.
The only thing that made sense to me was to sort of treat it as this like, I was very
careful to not use like language around like mental illness because like I don't want to
stigmatize that.
So I used like I kept calling him criminally Delulu.
Yeah.
It's sort of just a way to like,
like it's so ridiculous that he thinks this way.
Because I've got to be honest with you,
when it first started, those first few minutes,
I was just sitting there, I was like,
I do not know where we are headed with this.
And then once you started explaining
like some of those characters coming back,
I lost it.
I was like, oh my God, oh, that's where we're landing.
That is fantastic.
Like how long did it take you to get there?
Like, cause it doesn't make sense as a movie really, right?
Like it's just like this, it was like, we need a third one.
We need a third one.
And it's just like, I It was like, we need a third one. We need a third one. And it's just like,
I don't know much about the story
of the writing of the third one.
Maybe you guys can enlighten me on that one.
But it's sort of like, like, did you go to high school?
Do you not understand, like,
like the structure of seniors to freshmen?
Like, I don't know.
It just felt like, like, like nobody knew how a high school worked
and or how like the difference between varsity and junior varsity and what other schools
they play and schedules and what was Charlie just gonna like make his way onto the varsity
team like banks like, thanks to me, Banks earned his way onto the team.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
The third one's wild.
I remember when we did the third one, I looked into it.
The original, I think, pitch for the third one was to do another Goodwill Games, but
that got scrapped and then they landed on Eden
Hall.
But yeah, yeah, it was definitely a rushed attempt there for sure, not knowing anything
about high school.
I guess they couldn't do like a high school state championship because they've already
done the Peewee State Championship, which that's an insane endeavor in itself with
only nine teams in the whole state.
Yeah, I,
it's so weird to think that that was gonna be like,
boy, I really hope the Ducks win this game.
It didn't matter.
Brandon is a known fan of Coach Orion from the third movie.
Like Brandon is, Brandon loves that guy from top to bottom.
I'm curious if you have thoughts on Coach Orion,
coaching stuff.
Coach Orion, I'm not sure that actor's name,
but he killed it.
He like did such a good job in that role.
Like, you know, you feel the heart
when he's with his daughter.
Like, you know, you feel the heart when he's with his daughter. Like, you know, the speech a lot of people call that like one of the best, you know, speeches in
movie in sports movie history. Yeah. I have nothing but great things to say about the
guy who played Coach Orion. Like, yeah, like, it's like a thankless role because you're not Gordon Bombay.
Yeah.
Um, so like, I think people just sort of like, don't remember him or write
him off for that reason.
Um, but yeah, yeah, he killed it.
I think it's the stakes though.
Like kind of just like circling back to some of the things you were saying,
like imagine some of his motivational speeches
if the game actually mattered.
Game mattered, yeah.
Yeah.
Ooh, that would have given you chills
instead of just at a practice when he's coaching up Charlie
to not be the worst.
Yeah.
Coaching the biggest baby in the world.
It is so wild how he just like drops out of school
for like a couple days, him and Fulton
to go hang out from all of America. And Fulton has to be like, so we're not doing this every day.
We should go back to school.
And Charlie's thought is like, we'll go to Canada and we'll play for like the junior league there. You're a great player and you know, I'll
do something. He doesn't actually say like, I'll play there too. He kind of just sort of like,
you're a great player with your slap shot, they'll take you.
Can't skate, but that's a killer slap shot.
Well, I love, Volta's response to that is great though. He's like, I don't
want to play hockey that long. He's like, I don't want to play hockey that long.
Like this is just about high school, dude. Yeah, Charlie's really has such horse blinders on
for life in general.
It's like, that is all you think about
is your Peewee Hockey League team name.
It's, speaking of, and we can kind of start wrapping it up after this with a
couple more questions. But have you ever been to the Mall of America? What are your thoughts?
I've never actually been to Minneapolis. I don't think unless I stop over for a flight,
but I've never like hung out there. I've loved the idea of Mall of America as a kid. Like
like a 90s kid,
you watch Wild and Crazy Kids,
which I think had a couple episodes that were filmed there.
Great show.
Great show, loved Wild and Crazy Kids.
And yeah, just like the thought of a mall that was so big,
it has its own zip code,
and it's got a roller coaster in it.
And now it's like, with 20, 25 eyes you know, 2025 eyes and like, you know,
seeing a lot of malls that are like closed down or like,
you know, a lot of stores are closed down.
And from what I heard, Mall of America is like,
still thriving, but not as like it was.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Would you participate in a mall skate?
A mall skate? Oh, like from the movies, from the movies. Wow.
Yes. I've gotten back into skating recently, which is good.
And matching a guy's hat off of his head like Charlie does.
Sorry. D2.
Yeah, that that might be a bit much. Do you guys go there? Like,
I went there as a kid, when I was a little kid, like this movie came out and my parents took me afterwards and I thought it was the greatest thing that's ever.
I rode the roller coaster that Charlie and Fulton did. I got a,
I got a Timberwolves Jersey, a Kevin Garnett Jersey. When I was there,
like I look back at that 10, I was 10 years old when we went there.
And I was like, my God, this is the greatest place ever.
I've never been though. I've never been to the mall America. I have a,
one of my friends went when I was,
when I was growing up and they brought me back a couple like gifts.
And one of them was
like giant like squishy slippers and they were Vikings colored. That's my only recollection
of the Mall of America is you can get giant slippers there. Speaking of shopping in malls
though I do need to ask where did you get all these jerseys? And I was one one
um, I wouldn't say disappointment, but one heartbreak I had for your part three was I
was waiting for the Eden Hall sweater to come out. Yeah, I thought about it. I mean, the The thing about D3 was it was a reluctant episode.
And I sort of like kind of play into that a little bit
at the beginning when I saw it and sort of call it like,
you know, a terrible disaster, it ended poorly.
And sort of like, I don't wanna talk about Eden Hall.
So I played that up a little bit.
So I didn't want to like, I had already spent probably 170 bucks on jerseys.
So the Hawks Jersey, I found, I found a seller on Etsy.
It's called retro city threads.
it's called Retro City Threads. The Vikings one, I actually now own two Vikings jerseys because the first one I ordered and it just like I was in Etsy seller limbo for a solid
like six to eight weeks and I thought it was never coming. So I ordered a second one, which is actually the one you see at the end of my
D1 episode. But in the D2 episode, I am wearing the one that finally arrived. And then this
guy I got from a company called Sublimation Kings that makes a whole bunch of like hockey and basketball and other like jerseys.
Some, you know, from movies and stuff, but some just also you can make your custom ones there.
I'm not getting paid for them.
It's a great app though.
Great app.
Yeah.
Welcome guys.
And yeah, that was like, that was like the big expenditure of my budget, which I don't really have much
of a budget for these episodes.
But for the D3 one, I did have to get a specific action figure called Egghead from Marvel Legends that looks like a doctor.
And I had already had a custom action figure made of myself,
so I just stuck my head on it.
So when I'm Charlie's doctor, that's where that came from.
That's awesome.
That is.
That's fantastic.
I have a super quick question.
Did you know that Disney Plus came out
with a Duck spinoff television show a couple of years ago
that's been wiped off of Disney Plus called Game Changers?
Yes.
Oh, yes, it was called Game Changers.
Yes.
So I never watched it.
What I had read in the announcement of it
was that it was about a,
and did you guys watch it?
Oh yeah, unfortunately we did.
So what I had heard was that it's like,
like the ducks are now the hawks
and now like these kids change their names
to the no names or something like that.
Don't bothers, the don't bothers.
And I was like, what in the world is,
like I heard, like I read just that synopsis
and I was like, I don't need to watch this.
Smart choice. It was an abomination.
I've heard that like a lot of the like former characters
do pop in for some appearances that are just sort of like,
Yeah.
For like nostalgia.
Yeah.
They did two seasons, yeah. And the first season season Bombay isn't all the first season.
And then I think it's episode seven is when they bring back Connie and Guy and Banks pretty
much Averman. There's no Keenan and no Joshua Jackson. No Charlie, no Russ. But Fulton's
in there.
No Goldberg, obviously.
No, not at that time. He was, he was, cause he's good.
He's gotten better now, but when they were filming, he was still in the
rough spot for sure, but yeah.
But yeah, so like if you, if it, if they ever put it back on Disney plus, all
you really need to watch is episode seven of season one, scrap the rest of it.
Okay.
I was just curious.
I like secretly wanted to prove a point because I hate that show and I think it's an abomination
and Brandon still makes us talk about it sometimes.
It's still it's still canon.
It's still part of the universe.
Okay, I'm going to lose this debate.
Okay.
No, I get that it's still canon, but like just reading the synopsis, it felt
like, like, like a missed understanding what the ducks were about. And maybe I could be
totally wrong and I didn't watch it and maybe it redeems itself in some ways, but it just felt like it was not what I would want from that.
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
But along those lines,
Emilio did a podcast like a month ago,
two months ago, something like that.
And he mentioned that he had wrote a Mighty Ducks 4 script and he had pitched it to Disney and
he wanted Charlie and Russ involved but Disney shot it down right away.
They didn't even meet with him.
Oh, like written like recently?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If I remember correctly, it was, it was, it was, uh,
it would have been a women's like professional team that they would have,
um, like, um, brought along or whatever. Um, and like, um, I think it was like
Bombay was down and out and he was coaching like a roller derby team.
And then the, the, the plot was like, they turned the roller derby team
into like an expansion professional team. And then the plot was like they turned the roller derby team into like an
expansion professional team.
I don't hate it. I don't I don't hate it. I was on board. I'm on board. Yeah. And it's
a little bit of a hockey like it's it's like, it's almost like cutting edge but like, reverse
for hockey. I kind of like it. Yeah. Great reference. Gotta love a cutting edge reference
where you keep throwing in, right?
That's fantastic.
Well, I guess this, I don't know,
Brandon, if you have any more ducks questions,
but I wanted to ask a question more
about your YouTube channel,
just to kind of like round us out.
Cause you did a ton of episodes over like a ton of movies,
but I'm curious if like, number one, what was,
I guess it's a two parter,
but what was your favorite one that you've shot?
And number two, which one got the most like traction
with like comments and likes and all that?
Oh, wow.
Favorite one I've done.
I was really partial to Over the Top. I mean, a lot like I feel like it's
one of those obscure movies that maybe not a lot of people saw and like, like it didn't
like perform as well as some of my other yeah, I flipped it, you turn the switch and you
turn and become a machine. I have like a like a like a soft spot in my heart for that movie.
And I just love being able to bring all the different other like universes into that.
So like there's like Star Wars, Transformers, Marvel, like all kind of like converging at
this arm wrestling tournament where everyone is somehow arm wrestling for the custody of
their child.
And because it's such a ridiculous premise to begin with, like, Norm MacDonald once did a really great SNL
skit with Sylvester Stallone about his terrible movies
where like he's in a car accident
and Sylvester Stallone is saving him.
And Norm MacDonald is like, oh God,
I can't believe I'm dying and I'm being saved
by the star of Cobra.
And it just escalates from there and, and Silester
Sloan gets more angry about it.
Um, where was I going with this?
I forgot.
Um, it was just your favorite episode that you shot.
My favorite episode.
Yeah.
So that that's one of my favorite ones.
The one that I think is performed the best is, um, my episode that's
titled Confessions of a lost boy about hook.
And my goodness.
And that one has gotten a lot of comments cause I sort of had a question going
into the, the ending of it and I figured out like a twist ending.
I don't know if you guys have watched.
I'm about to Google it as soon as we wrap this.
There's a really interesting twist ending that I sort of came up with at the
last last minute and I was really.
Like proud of that one. So don't, don't read the comments. It might spoil it.
Um, but that, yeah, that one kind of hit a, hit a corp with some people.
I love it. That sounds like a great one. I got to watch that.
And then the other one that I saw that I had, I saw on your page,
but I didn't watch it. And you tease, you tease it at the end is the heavy
weights, heavy weights, heavy weights. That one, I,
I had forgotten about heavy weights in many ways. Um, and a lot of my,
my viewers were sort of like, you got to do heavyweights,
you got to do heavyweights. I first was like, oh, you know, am I going to, you know, I don't
want to make like a joke about like, like fat camp kids. And then I rewatched it and
I found like, there's so much heart to that movie. And it's not about that at all. And
I think I was able to like, kind kind of like make like a really good funny
spoof of that without like delving into like cheap jokes like that so I was I
was really happy with how heavyweights turned out I just finished and just
released yesterday my episode on demolition man where I play the inventor of the three seashells.
If you have any memory of that.
Yeah.
Oh my, I haven't thought about demolition man in the longest.
I feel like it was on either showtime or HBO all the time.
Yeah.
There was a period where it was on.
It was on for a while.
Yeah.
Oh, cool.
Well, I mean, that kind of wraps it up.
I don't know, Brandon, if you have anything else that kind of wraps it up for questions that I might have, but I wanted
to tee it up for you Edmund one last time, just to be able to plug what you're up to
plug your channel where folks can find you.
Yeah. So yeah, you can find me on YouTube and Tik Tok. It's called minor character theater.
We do funny parody, mockumentaries of classic movies.
Just did Demolition Man and The Shining.
Might do Grease Next, we'll see.
Yeah, check it out.
But before we go, I actually have one little bone to pick with you guys about your sudden
death episode concerning Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Okay, let's go. I can't remember who said it but
There was the the point made that
Jean-Claude's accent is never explained
Okay, that was me. That's brain and I argue that it's almost always explained
Is it okay? He. Because, for example, Legionnaire, he's in the French Foreign Legion,
Lionheart, he's gone AWOL from the French Foreign Legion. I think it's hard target.
He's like a drifter from the French quarter of New Orleans. There's another one where
he's a Canadian police officer. In sudden death, he says, I where he's a, um, a Canadian police officer, um, in sudden death.
He says, I used to play a little hockey up in Canada.
Yeah.
So that was my point was that sudden death explained it, but a lot of the other ones
don't my, my main gripe was, and I think we've been talking to a street fighter where he
plays like a, an American soldier and they never fucking talk about his accent.
So I actually, my first job in LA was,
I don't live in LA anymore,
but my first job in LA was doing DVD special features.
And one of the DVDs I worked on
was Universal Soldier Special Edition.
And that one does not have an explanation.
What they do is like,
like there's a part where the actress from the show show profile, I can't remember her name right now. Um,
she says, uh, what about your accent?
And he says, what accent? Like that's it. That's the explanation.
Oh, I do have to say,
white bread, like, like mom and pop Kent, like farmhouse parents
that he like end up at their farmhouse at the end. And like, somehow he's got
this Belgian accent.
Nothing tastes sweeter than some comeuppance for Brandon and being proven
wrong. Like, my God,
I did.
It's a tasty morsel.
I did forget about the because yeah, those ones where they mentioned that he's like,
yeah, a French Legionnaire or he went AWOL.
I forgot about those ones.
Yeah.
My main grab was Street Fighter though.
Street Fighter or yeah, some of the other ones where he plays like an, he's like an
American hero.
Kickboxer.
Yeah, there's also a double impact where he's twins.
Yep.
Yeah.
They sort of like, sort of chalk it up to the fact that
he was born to ambassadors in Hong Kong or whatever,
and that's why it's an accent.
Yeah.
Are you a sudden death fan?
Am I a sudden death fan?
Yes.
It's been a little while since I watched it,
top to bottom, but yeah, I love sudden death.
I love it.
That was the first time I'd watched it. I was like, my God, where did I miss this beauty? Game seven of the NHL finals. We saved the world
terrorist attack. A helicopter crashes through the arena. Howars booth is like just chomping on so
much in like the best possible way.
So good. And when you get like good powers booth, like, oh, that's just like.
Yeah. Yeah. His whole thing,
all the scenes with the with the fucking vice president are amazing.
I mean, we talked about it in the episode, but he spends
cards, we spent like 30 minutes telling the I think he's telling the mayor, right?
He's telling the mayor that he's going to kill his wife because she's like crying or whatever.
He's like, shut the hell up. She spends 30 minutes being like, I'm going to kill your wife. And the
mayor just sits there and doesn't, he doesn't do anything. It doesn't try to, you know, it's like,
put up some kind of a fight. He's telling you he's going to kill your wife, like do something here,
buddy. And then he does in fact kill the wife. Yeah. Yeah. And the period.
And the dude just, dude just sits there. Doesn't even, doesn't even bad.
And I,
he has a, he has a fight with the mascot that if you watch this movie back,
you will enjoy. Yeah. Yeah. That's,
I went to mascot anyways. Anyways, anyways, sorry guys.
Sorry to delve into it.
So no, no, no, love it.
Love it.
