Brandon.
Beautiful rendition, he's, that is, uh, we mentioned, I mentioned in the last
episode for the, the motion picture about how they had a couple
different, um, original songs.
We didn't delve into this one, though.
This one, which they used for the trade.
montage in the in the motion picture and then the uh we see he stops the fight with it right at the
this one yeah yes um original song original song for the movie so i actually like thought this was a song
that like they use then sampled from someone for it like at the end of the the show like i kind
of had this stuck in my head for a little bit i was like this kind of a catchy outro we had going on here
you know um so they got they got me with that one um but brandy what a journey what a hot american
summer first day of camp first day of camp uh a good 14 years later yep and this was released in
2015 uh and a prequel this was at the height of netflix and you know them just making
things and and maybe
this was like the first wave the first wave
of them that South Park
eventually parodied right because
like the boys are like oh we've got a show
for you and they're like we can say yes to everything
except your idea it sucks
yeah
they just they just put everything and that was
the first thing I thought of after the first
episode I was like you know
I don't know if we needed this
and if we did need this it probably could have been
could have been
an hour and 20 minutes
movie.
Yeah.
You know?
I just kept it tight.
Yeah.
I kept thinking that as well throughout the process or throughout watching the whole thing.
I was like, this is, this is too much.
This is, this is, this is, this is greed.
This is greed.
A prime example of greed.
It was an absolute nostalgia of money grab, the first wave.
And they tried so hard.
And like, it was.
the first movie was off the rails in kind of like a charming way almost right like it was zany
it was weird like it was absurd and then this was like let's try as hard as possible to
absurdly explain away the absurdities in the movie like the depths and lengths they went to get the
talking can my god brandon i i was i was like as soon as i was like oh my god it's how are they
going to turn him into the can when i saw it in the first episode i was like how do we get there
with the can and the military sludge i just i was like oh my god this is i i had i enjoyed the sludge
i thought the sludge was good the whole government backstory was a lot though although this i
didn't love the trial was amazing the that was a great part to you when when michael sarah tells
uh i forget that dude's name the other lawyer when he when he tells the other lawyer he's old
enough to take a shit on his chest or what was he said there they're just a shit on your
face is what he says it yeah michael sarah stole the show dude my michael sarah was as uh what was john
piss pot or jimmy piss pot yeah it's his nickname for anyways all right how do you want to break this down
because i don't i can we can breathe through the episode i have like a synch i did a chat i did i stole
your idea i did a chat gbt all right and i've got the eight the eight episodes pulled up here we can
run through the eight episodes i i will say i think i mentioned this to you offline for me
the biggest thing was just I thought it was hilarious
that they just brought Coop
back you know and that guy has not been in acting
for an incredibly long time you can tell
he's the co-writer and
the co-writer of the whole thing
oh he's okay I didn't yeah it's Michael
Michael Showalter
yeah right yeah Michael Showalter he's the co-writer
of first day of camp
and the all three of the um franchise uh entities here but them giving him did you know
the same haircut but with a wig and making him wear the exact same stuff in like this i like
the same sizes it looked like because he did him no favors as we all he's a little more he's a
a little over he weighs a lot more than he did when you know 14 years ago yeah i'm pretty sure they
kept the same wardrobe and we're just like you know what go and squeeze into that coop i think i might
be the only person that doesn't i just found a picture from 14 years ago from when jenkins was a
puppy um and it was after i'd spent a few years uh about a year and a half in texas two years in texas
And I look like I enjoyed a lot of delicious Texas eats, you know, and especially
As you should have.
Right.
And especially the dichotomy of Jenkins as a puppy where I could fit him into the palm of my
hand.
So I'm just like the biggest version of myself.
It's like 250 holding the tiniest dog in the world.
And it looks hilarious because I'll have to see, I'll have to grab the picture.
I can't get into my face.
I got locked out because it's my Nebraska phone number and my college emails.
And it was I was logged on on a computer that I don't have anymore.
And I went to I was like, oh, no.
And they won't let you like log in through Instagram.
It's like you're connected to my Instagram, but you won't let me go over there through my
Instagram.
It doesn't make any sense, Meta.
Get your fucking shit together.
Dude, I just want the pictures of my dogs as puppies, you know?
Like, that's it.
I don't give a shit about anything else.
Anyways.
But yeah.
There you go, Brandon.
That's, um, but,
but Coop with the hair,
did you close?
Like the same.
Just,
did you know, uh,
because I didn't realize this until the,
because he's wearing a jersey,
uh,
uh,
like a,
a t-shirt,
like a,
a,
uh,
a t-shirt jersey on the first episode that had his name on the back.
I didn't realize his last name was,
uh,
Cooperberg.
dude the fact that they made him jewish is amazing cooperberg right is he is he's jewish oh
they didn't make him oh that's right that's right i forgot because of the it's like what is the
joke at the end of the movie where he's like no her nose is normal but like it's like he's he's
on the phone telling him how he kissed katie yeah he's uh his you don't hear it but his parents ask is she
Jewish and he goes I don't think so she does have a big nose though yeah that's what it is
but yeah the fact that they gave him the same haircut but it's a wig um they just had him in the
tightest clothing like it just it was too much at the tight clothing and he just looked
no incredibly old next to the he looked so old next to those kids when he was in the scenes with
the kids like i've never seen someone look older when he's chasing kevin around that was
that was too much the the whole the whole joke the whole joke of the first uh of the movie
was that they were 35-year-olds playing 16-year-olds and so now that they're 50-year-olds playing 60-year-olds
it's it's a it's a stark contrast between them and the camera it's it's hilarious um did you hear
the joke at the very end when he's the can and he's like this summer is going to be so great
that it's going to make all of you look 15 years younger by the end of it that was that was good
everything in between that just you know it's fine it was there's uh there's a lot they
like you said they they went to such lengths to explain stuff in the weirdest ways
and they tried to like explain the absurdity with more absurdity and for me it just kind of fell a little
flat yeah it just there's just we talked about it with the originalist picture
in that one there's so much going on the plot and the timing timelines don't make any
fucking sense but it confined to that you know 90 minute whatever movie yeah it's okay now that we're
building on it so you're getting twice the stuff twice the confusion it just it gets lost a lot of it
gets lost four hours is too many hours you know we cut this down by two and a half hours and
we're if they turn this into another 90 minute movie it's way better yeah um but yeah eight
eight episodes and I believe the 10 years later it's like eight episodes as well that one I remember
being a little bit better better but yeah the first the first episode campers arrive it's the first
morning you know they're doing their thing making moves on each other it's because the original
movie is the last day of camp so this is I believe they say it's two months
camp is two months so this is two months before on the first day of cape and we have uh so we figure out
we find out can of vegetables h john mitcherman is the original camp director yeah uh we have is it jason
schwartzman yeah he's the co-count co-head counselor guy can i say what may might be an
unpopular opinion what's that i do not like jason schwartzman i don't think i don't think i don't think i like
the single movie he's ever been in i like this included i like the hbo show with ted dancing and
zack galophanacus that was good that was okay but that was he contributed zero enjoyment to that
show for me it was all jack alcanacus and ted dancing great like they carried that show and he was
like he was the perfect character for that character though i feel like you know what it like i feel
like he was well cast for that character what was that it's not better off dead what
What is it?
Baskets.
Is it baskets?
No, it's not baskets.
That's Zach Kalanfenakis on FX.
That's right.
Whatever.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah, I don't like Jason Swordsman.
Don't care for him.
And we get the reintroduction to all the camp counselors, and they're just all old.
They're old.
And then they introduce other camp counselors that are younger.
younger and then she gets her period and then she's the makeout girl with the gum she actually
well no that wasn't incredibly that was a camper not a counselor oh she was a camper that got
her period and then turned into a counselor that was the joke she became a woman she became
a was it abbey right abbey yeah yeah abbey so wait so wait in the original movie did i miss
this was abbey i thought abbey was a counselor yeah okay but but she's originally
And so again, they don't mention any of the stuff in the first movie.
You're not going to be able to draw it.
Oh, okay, sorry.
All of these backstories were made 15 years after the fact teeth.
I don't know if you got that from the giant gap, but there's going to be zero mentions of anything in the first movie, sir.
I miss that joke.
Like, I, I know she's not older after she got the period, but I just, yeah.
It's either the first or the second episode.
Connie or Katie is in the bathroom, whatever, and a tiny little camper girl comes to run it.
No, I picked up on all that.
I just didn't real.
I just, I missed the joke on this one.
Like, it just, the joke did not land with me at all.
I think what they were, what they were trying to do, because at the end of the first movie, Abby ends up, you know, making out with a 10-year-old camper.
So I think they were, this was like a.
retroactive thing to be like she was she's a kid too you know it's fine yeah I mean I
I want to be nice but like as our resident podcast hater according to chat GPT I just
this wasn't good you know like I didn't it's too much it's too much there are there were some
great um so so I'll run through I'll just run through a script synopsis of each episode
and then we can we can hop you know hop around but so they
come back in the first one um we get uh we find out jean has a that's that was the other thing
the vietnam cook jean has a different name and a different hair i hate it all um and then he
becomes the crad just i hated all that that i think that could have been good having him like
you know blocking out his his uh his um PTSD and all that kind of
kind of stuff yeah the whole separate identity didn't really you didn't need to do that you could
just had him be like ignoring that and then you you um you know tap into it with the code and he
snaps but so that whole thing's going on and we find out he was engaged to get to gale
the whole gale where she she goes through three ex-husbands in the in one day why
yes uh it was uh jim halpert yeah agent jim
And then the dude from 30 Rock is the plays Ron her last one the uh he was in 30 Rock with Tina
Fay um oh yeah I forget his name um he's one of the writers so yeah yeah um and then we have
At first I was thinking third rock from the Sun when he said 30 Rock and I was like no he said
do you remember that show though that was actually a really incredibly like clever
show and like funny and absurd wildly progressive to you if i remember correctly yeah yeah it was
they were doing same-sex couples and and all that kind of stuff way back when so far ahead of
its time i feel like it was just i rewatched it a while back and i just remember thinking like this is
i miss this show like i just never really tuned in and i wish i would have yeah it's yeah
great show highly recommend um but so that that's essentially episode oh and then also episode one
Ben and Susie are we see them they're they're getting a play together and they're
going to produce it in one day as well um so they're doing that and uh so the the creepy
director that's she hooks up with it's the dude from madman what's his game I can't
remember the Claude Dumay is the John Slattery Slater Slater Slatery John Slatery is the guy who
plays the creepy director um
I did love
after the play finishes
and he's
after he seduces Amy Poehler
and sleeps with her
he's like
you got you're coming to New York with me
obviously right and she's like no
I don't think that's a good idea
I'm 16 years old
like this is probably
inappropriate
this is probably inappropriate although I'm sure
you'll find another 16 year old girl
who will be head over heels for you
yeah man um but so that's uh episode one episode two oh and then we're introduced to some kids to
kevin we mentioned he's chasing around he's just uh he's just little kid coop that's the
correlation there and then um then the redheaded kid is the bully fucking sucks yeah yeah yeah
yeah he gives all redheads a bad name huh brandon he does dude drew drew was his name
Thomas Barbusca is the the actor who uh oh that's right he was I was I was like I know I knew that
fucking kid you know what he was in he was in the real bros of Simi Valley with the movie
he was yeah the movie was good not great I think my expectations were just too high
they were just way too high you went and way too you went and way too you went and way
too hot you you well because you you you found out about robert
rose simi like right before they released that movie and that movie was like eight
like five six years in the making of them trying to do a season three and then they
ended up just having to do the movie because nobody wanted to pick up the the tv show um so
you you didn't have the you know the five-year gap of of waiting for it so i think you came in
too hot the movie i thought the movie was pretty solid though when they they have the
fucking step ladders for their trucks that's amazing
yeah anyways
but anyway drew drew fucking sucked um
but the the kid the kid playing him did a great job of just being the worst yeah
just a shad kid yeah yeah the insults he would throw around were
unbelievable yeah
Dude, really incredible kid insults, too, like Dr. Farts or whatever it was.
Like, just so good.
Yeah, fart bag or everything. Everything was either a dick or a fart joke.
Oh, dude, I think he called him dick farts, right?
That's right.
That's right.
Yeah.
Then I think he farts out of his dick.
Well, no, that's, I'm pretty sure.
So he does call Kevin a dick fart, I think a couple times, but also Victor and, um,
Neal, they do a prank.
When they do the prank call, they tell him his cooking has been contaminated by dick farts.
And then Neil, Neil does the motion and the sound effect.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, the dick frats.
That prank hole is wild, too.
Oh, God.
When he doesn't hang up the phone, it's Victor.
It says his name, I guess six time.
that was one of the the chase after it was fine but like that that prank phone call to
to see he's like he's like I'm gonna I'm gonna kill you like a soup
unbelievable but so okay episode two we get introduced to the rival camp tiger claw
which is where Katie's boyfriend is yeah what do we got here um Andy's trying to
to do you're getting the the foundation laid for that relationship yeah um jean meets the the the can
we get we get that meeting so the uh and then that's what this is when they introduced the whole
fucking president reagan yeah um zen star fucking nonsense um what else i think that's pretty
much all it's episode two episode three um
What are we got here?
Oh, so episode two is when they introduce Elizabeth Banks is, uh, yeah, like backstory stuff.
And then episode.
Yeah.
Is it key or is it?
It's Peel. Peel is her editor.
Yes.
And then, uh, it's Peel and then, um, Paul Shear is the, the, the skinny dude with the, the hair
that's like, uh, that she works with.
And then I forget the, the red-headed girl's name, but she's in a whole bunch of stuff, too.
but yeah so that was at the beginning of episode two and then episode three is when she gets to camp
i think and she's yeah she tells everybody she's 16 she's a counselor uh she infiltrates them
what's what's is it rock and roll world magazine is the it's like rolling stone
yeah um we get the the start of some some play rehearsals for electro city
will say that musical at the end they had some bangers not bad that's him i forget oh damn i need to look up
the lyrics for that song because it had me the electric chair song was so good i was like yes this is
incredibly catchy the fact that it was a death row in may and he gets the electric chair that was that
that did make me laugh a little bit too like i was like this this is a catchy song um with the
electric chair they kind of the uh the dude um that they have uh during this and that so
episode that's episode three episode four they do a bunch of auditions for electro city we get some
more uh backstory of ben coming to grips with him being him being gay you get him and uh oh yeah
mckinley certainly sir plurton um but the the auditions the the blonde uh kid that they have um
audition and he gets the part before Andy does.
I forget his name.
The song that they have Paul Rudd sing is just so bad.
And then they act like it was just this incredible folk song.
That was real.
That was, oh, my God.
That was on, yeah.
They, well, and then we, I forget if it's, if it's, I think it's episode three is,
fucking Weird Al Yankovic
He got his little hypno thing
That was crazy
He has all the kids
Just
In full attack mode
Oh and episode four is when we get the Falcon
Which is John
John Ham
And he disguises himself as Weirdall
Yankovic
To do the epno thing
And yeah he's the Ronald Reagan's personal assassin
Yeah
Yeah
Oh my gosh
So what I
was going to say was a search party so the the yeah so the the the blonde kid that they had
that they give the role to before they give it to andy and then he ends up being like the warden
or something uh the actor's name is john early and he's fantastic in it amazing did you ever watch
the show search party no he's in that too it's with uh alia shakot who is maybe from arrested development
You know what I'm talking about?
You don't know anything.
God damn.
Sorry.
Go watch Search party though.
Search party.
Search party?
I believe it was, I think it's HBO.
But it's hilarious.
It's a search party.
It's like it was on TBS.
It was on HBO Max.
It started on TBS and then it got picked up by
HBO. It's hilarious.
Essentially, like, it's her, it's the, the actress from Arrested Development, maybe,
the John Earl early, the blonde guy, and then these two other people, they're like,
mid-20s, just graduated college. One of their friends goes missing, and it's about them,
like, they like, get, like, internet famous from it. And like, it's, it's hilarious.
It's incredibly hilarious. But he's in that show and he fucking kills it.
Wait, hold on.
Can I, I have to ask a dumb question because I haven't watched Arrested Development a long time.
Is that girl's name maybe in Arrested Development?
In the show, yeah.
Okay.
My brain thought, I was like, dude, I don't know.
And you kept saying maybe afterwards.
And the way you kept saying it, it made me think that you were like questioning yourself.
It's like, yeah, it's the girl from arrested development, maybe.
and i was like maybe just look dude like you're the one telling the story like why the
fuck is it maybe like that is this i just my brain kept going like why the fuck is he saying maybe
at the end of this this stupid asshole like just like the girl from arrested development maybe
is like a is she or is she not brandon you think i was doing like an albert and castello a
no i thought that you're who's on who's on first
Yeah, that's what, I mean, that's what was happening in my head, but I genuinely thought you were just saying this without actually knowing and I'm like, just look quick.
Like, like, we're bad at research.
Like, we don't do anything, but like, wouldn't be the first story either of us has told where we didn't know where it was going.
Yeah, I guess that's true.
But I just, I, it's just getting so frustrated with you right there.
It's like, where is he doing?
Like, what? Like, maybe, from arrested development, maybe, what?
Like, why are we talking about her? Like, if you don't know if she's in it or not, you know?
It's like, why, anyways, all right, I forgot what you were saying.
It's because you don't know anybody either. You wouldn't know in the fucking, well, that's also, yeah, that's why. That's why I had to ask. That's why I had to ask it for a, because I was like, wait, wait.
I think her names maybe.
Maybe her name is maybe.
That's all right.
What?
Who?
Okay.
And so Jonas is Jean, right?
Like that's Jean's name is Jonas.
And that's Gail is episode four is when Gail is starting to do invest.
What is the, what does she go to?
She reads the newspapers in the library.
Just of the Hall of Records.
No, but like I forget what they call
Like they do like when you read the
Newspapers like in the library
But it's like on the Scantron machines
Oh yeah there is a weird name for it
I figure what it is though
Shit I do too
Like they
They said it and I was like
Oh my God
When's the last time you've heard that in a sentence
That was I was wild
That was part of like learning how to do that
In the library and it's so annoying
but yeah
Gene his
his original name is
Gene Jinkinson
and then he changes his name
to Jonas Jurgensen
I believe maybe
yeah
yeah
did you get that
you like that call back
that's
I did
it did feel so much better
when he got like
into his like cook gear
it's like this feels
this feels a lot
better.
The fight scene between him and John Hamm at the end is pretty fantastic.
Microfish.
Microfish?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what it is.
M-I-C-R-O-F-I-C-H-E, Microfish.
And it's standard way for viewing historical
newspaper collections as it was a practical way to store vast amounts of information in small
spaces is it pronounced fish yeah maybe fiche i'm gonna get it for us whoever named that
could have done a better job i don't know i kind of like absurd names like that
microfiche okay so you got a little bit of drawn out on the e then okay yeah
microfiche okay microfiche that's how the lady said it micro fish that was a
pretty solid uh um syri alexa impression oh i would have been great i feel like it
something like that and just it was at the wrong place at the wrong time just i made a mistake
no she's talking to me oh nice that was my bad i fucked that up my bad i probably i
probably if for the three people that are listening i probably ruined it for you too she's
probably talking to you now i apologize it's like that uh south park also did that yeah
was a there was a wasn't there a whole uh commercial bit where i forget who did i think it was
like a fast food or anyway there's some company like did a commercial where they said hey
alexa order you know whatever and then it caused people to actually or people's alexus to actually
or stuff sick bastards yeah but okay so yeah uh so we're doing auditions for electro
city um ben and mckinley hitting it off um jean jenkinson is going through his fucking nothing
katy and andy are fighting as always uh coop like you mentioned uh or i don't know if we mentioned
but coop is getting roped into a devil's three way here with uh yarrow the girl the girl the
girl that is his girlfriend um is someone that i recognize but couldn't name she's a new girl like
she's just in stuff she's just she's just she's just classically in stuff you know who what's her name
i was freaking her character name you know what's the character name what's her name was it

Lake Bell, Lake Bell, yeah.
All right, hold on.
I'm going to look at her because she's in, um, new girl.
She's one is in the girl.
Isn't she in the episode with, uh, when, uh,
Schmidt's like, damn, damn, everyone in here.
My towel is damp again.
And Nick's like, no, that's, that's a different one.
That's, uh, what's her name from, uh, I'm sorry.
I feel like we're so terrible at
at names and I feel like we're especially terrible
at women's names.
Don't say that right now.
But it's the girl from Mean Girls
is the one of the episode that you're thinking of
because that's the, her, the, when he's dating the lawyer.
Next thing the lawyer, what is her name?
Lizzie Kaplan is the,
actresses name
Lizzie Kaplan
I'm
there's
no way
Blake Bell
in mean
girls
or in new
girl

Amanda
Amanda
oh she's the
she plays
it's like
really early
in the
show
she's the
other bartender
at the bar
that works with
Nick
and they have
like the weird
oh that's right
sarcastic
yeah where they're like oh we should definitely fuck
and he's like I don't know I don't know how to read this
is are you are you serious
she's like oh yeah we should yeah yeah
yeah yeah like
like the overly sarcastic relationship
and he doesn't know how to play okay okay
I mean you can't blame me there
there's nothing I can do about getting
her mixed up I'd also loved Chris
Pine as the rocker
like that was the most random
casting ever
yeah it was just when they when they showed it was him was like is that chris pine why is he in this
wasn't he doing star trek at this time like he was an actual like this was in the middle of
star trek yeah yeah like what the fuck is he's doing this for if he's doing star trek yeah yeah
gotta pay the bills man does this before or after he got spit on when did he get spit out you
don't remember that whole controversy i can't remember who's spit on him hold on
he was a famous person he was spit on maybe no well they it was that was the whole like controversy is
like it looks like and he reacts like he got spit on but then everyone came out and he's like
no no no no it wasn't that bad I don't remember that at all
Harry styles wait
So you're going to have to clarify.
All you said was a name.
So is, is Harry Stiles the guy you spit on him or did, are you, did you confuse him for Harry Styles and Harry Styles was a guy that I got spit on?
No, no, no.
So Harry Stiles.
You see how I'm confused.
No, yeah.
I just said it all out order.
And my, my brain is really good at organizing thoughts.
So this is, we're struggling this episode.

worry darling because there was like this is way before that don't worry darling was like
2019 oh was it okay oh okay i didn't know but then um supposedly they
They, it was just a, it was just a joke that between them, but I think that they were beefing before that.
And it looks like he actually, I don't know.
Yeah, don't, don't worry, darling, was 2022.
Just too, so you know.
Yeah.
Either way, that's what I think of when I think of Chris Pine now and his hair when he got spit on is wild.
He's had some crazy hair looks.
Yeah.
Including this, this, I don't know.
if his if his long hair in this was a wig or not
I wasn't paying it totally awake
really I wasn't paying attention enough
but uh yeah I know a thing or two
about hair Brandon
long flowing
majestic locks
those weren't it
okay
what's the next episode
so uh
star studded cast by the way
like whoever
whoever like
yeah because the original
the original had so all the people that were in there
the original movie were
it's a star-sided cast
and then they just added people on top of it
yeah we had a john ham we added the madman dude
slater Kristen Kristen Whig
Michael Sarah John Ham
Chris Pine
I don't know some of these other people
Michael Sarah
by far the best new edition though
he stole the show for me
Stoll Lake Bell
Jason Schwartzman
I don't care for that guy
But yeah, that's all really big.
And then the guest appearances were Paul Shear, Jordan Peel, Weird Al Yankovic, you know, those are big ones.
Yeah.
So we're working, so we worked through the auditions.
Episode 5 was dinner.
That's where we're getting closer and closer to the Devil's Three Way with Coup.
Oh, and that's where we get the prank call.
Frank Hall
and then that pushes into
episode six which is we get the
we get the play
the huge play
yeah
um
electricity getting that
freaking electric chair musical
nothing like it
and then we get some more camp
tiger claw as uh
katy's boyfriend
slash ex-boyfriend
starts getting more and more jealous
and they start planning some sabotage
to to ruin
camp firewood
firewood came firewood yeah and um the trial too did you say the trial they're in the
they're in the court oh yeah the trial trial is so the michael sarah trial is so good dude
so good and then he get they get they fucking uh they murk him at the end him and schwartzman get
yeah by the falcon yeah take it out dude ronald regins assassin i was i honestly was uh
uh anxiously awaiting the for them to kill jesus schwartzman because he's not in the
original so they would have to get rid of him somehow and i was like i hope they i hope they
fucking kill him i'll be killing kind of sound like a psycho there brand him but that's fine
hope you're okay i just i just really don't like jacques schwartzman i don't know what it is
i don't know what it is that's the although he was uh i
would have to double check
if he was actually in the band
at the time, I believe he was
but he was in a band called
Phantom Planet
and they did
the theme song for the O.C. Heath
California
That's a great song.
That's the only good thing is ever done.
One thing that we probably
haven't talked about enough
that like throughout this
Connie
Marguerite
Oh, shit.
What was there?
What's their name?
It's the same last name as the character.
Marguerite,
do you not remember Connie's last name?
No.
Conroe.
Monroe, Murrow.
Connie Monroe.
Not Monroe.
Connie Murrow.
Yeah.
Marguerite Murrow.
There you go.
Nailed it.
Crushed.
We've been doing this.
this podcast or god knows how long now and you still don't know her name if anyone doubted my
my struggle with names it's like it's like talking to my dad my my dad I dated a girl
throughout high school and into college for eight years and he always got her name for eight
fucking years dude can you imagine like when when my little one brings friends over
there's i'm gonna call them all the same name probably you just got to you just don't use names
you just got to you got to use buddies hey buddy hey pal you know or you or you
do you call like your girls friends do you call them buddy and pal you can what gal
you can go sport hey sport sport or you could do you could do us uh you could start a bit where
you call everybody the same name that's okay i see that's what i'm sorry hey johnnie come
here you just call everybody johnny yeah that's it that's what i'm saying like you just like
she has a best friend in first grade named like Stephanie and after that's like
oh hey it's uh is Stephanie over here again no dad I've been friends of Stefan is his first
grade dad see that's why I think you got to go a completely random name that nobody has had
like like Johnny like hey Johnny come here that's I'm gonna go to Genevieve because I
I really was pushing for that for the middle name but that's I got axed but I mean it's
it's just hilarious but i would feel that's a mouthful for a middle name not only is it a mouthful
but could you imagine that poor girl having to spell that in school you know how they make you
spell your name out and stuff hardly ever your middle name maybe like maybe like once a year
oh we need to learn to write our full name like 50 times and i just remember being like kind of like
I remember I struggled with Michael you know I that that A E L got me Brandon it
I still I still second guess that every time now yeah M-I-C-H and then I always I always
hit the E-A-L and I was wrong yeah that's Michael yeah hey I don't know what
that was too I'm so sorry okay I've lost so we had the the play with all the
great musical the numbers oh and very very
Victor and Neil, we missed this.
They made a pact on who could lose their virginity first.
I mean, to bet.
I got a, I saw.
Victor and Neil was actually the only part I liked.
Yeah, that was it.
Victor and Neil was, I wrote that a bunch of, a bunch of Victor quotes.
Yeah, Joe La Caglione or whatever his name is.
It was him and that guy were the saving graces, the guy from Party Down and then the guy from Brooklyn Nine Nine.
To jump ahead to episode seven for the staff party and Neil brings his high school girlfriend, Sherry.
Everybody's they do the nose game and they're all super mean to Sherry.
Though JJ, that was such a wild fucking scene where they do the nose game, you know, where the last person touched the nose is like out.
But they they took it a step further and they called her a pig and they said,
started doing squeal noises, JJ got on all floors for a while.
They took it way too far.
It did lead to a great scene where Neil chases after Sherry and they make up and they're
in the middle of the, they're not even in the woods, they're just in front of the bunks.
Yeah, they're just in an open space with the sleeping bags all put down.
And so there's, Leo's losing his virginity.
Can I put it in?
Should I put it in?
Can I put it like, really kept asking her if he could put it.
she's like yes but stop saying it stop saying and then he he literally does one one good solid pump
and it's over that's all you need sometimes he's just one good solid pump that was that I was
when they were like done is I was like okay that was pretty good um oh uh Judah Friedlander is
the guy you were talking about before that's Ron um Gail's other husband from Third Rock
yeah uh okay i got to
but uh so
can you on episode seven
because there's this is
Victor steals the show in this episode
because he starts
uh talking up the
the older uh choreographer lady
that's helping with the
with the play and she's like
uh she's like you know
hitting on him and they're flirting back and forth
and she's she goes
she goes uh so what do you
what do you like to do for fun
and he goes
do you remember this quote it's amazing
he goes oh you know just pretty much like like like like fucking and stuff like that I could show you if you want and she's like yeah that'd be cool let's do that and he goes oh yeah yeah it's like you know I do it all the time so like why should tonight be any different
when he gets the contraceptives and yells at the gas station attendant because the layba the decoy that he was trying to have the keychain he's like
I need a price check for this keychain.
And then did you hear the lady behind him as he's even like fucking perverts in their keychains?
Fucking keychain pervert.
And he's like, he like turns to her.
And he's like, the keychain's for a friend.
It's for a friend.
She's like, okay, whatever, fucking pervert.
Yeah.
And then he goes.
And when he's trying to put the condoms on.
The Jimmy hats, dude.
Jimmy hats.
He blows up the first one.
that's now that that meme of like whenever i hear riz i think of this it's it's like every 90s
account has that me has posted that meme at some point in the last year oh hey kitty but
victor has to go back to the bet they had uh which neil wins but then he denies it he to to save
uh victor's feelings he says oh no me and me and sherry didn't uh
didn't seal the deal but in the the first or second episode Neil is a man of
honor Brandon and a lady never asks and a gentleman gentleman never tells isn't
that how it goes well he's a man of honor he's also a like the greatest sidekick ever
yeah he's a good wing man it just he's a good wing man in brooklyn like he kept that um you know
throughout his acting career is a good way but to go back to the these are the first
to the second episode when they're making the bet
and Victor's like
he's like we should make a bet
on who loses their virginity first
and he was like well what are you talking about dude
you've you've made love like
a thousand times right
and he's like well yeah yeah so it'll be a bet
of who loses their virginity first
or who gets laid for the millionth time
and then he calls it he calls himself
a fuck machine right in front of all the camper
well and
doesn't
poop make out with his girlfriend every time in front of their cabin full of campers like
they're always watching their interactions oh yeah yeah yeah they make out twice like on the
bed in the cat and then like at the start of the scene it's just them in the in the cabin
and then once they start making out they turn and look and yeah it's all it's all filled with
the campers yeah but the victor victor was amazing um he had a
couple
what else did he have
you know they had the
prank call like we said
who's the virginity first
oh when he's
in the first episode when they're like
debriefing all the
counselors yeah
and he gets up to talk and they're all
over here
and he goes
settle down suddenly on you fucking scumbags
and then he
he starts
Neil mentions Sherry's
come in so everybody be cool and he goes up and he's like would it be cool if I showed
my uh showed my dog and Sherry's ear and then he starts he starts doing it to
Neil oh my god what an insane person Victor is he was the saving grace him and him and
Michael Sarah saved this this season because like you like we've mentioned it was
just it it's wildly unnecessary and it
it's just it's too much it's too much they they took it all too far in a not funny way um like
it didn't feel authentic you know like yes it didn't have the same genuineness that the original one had
yes and it honestly felt like like it felt like you know to not to quote the youths but it felt
like like a cringe aunt and uncle that are just trying so incredibly hard to be like irreverent
and like quirky this is one of those movies where like at like you in like not saying you
but in like you know 15 years when you're when you're your daughter's in high school or whatever
and you're like I want to show you my favorite hilarious movie and you put this on and she's
like this is what the fuck this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life yeah that's how
I felt I felt like some old person was being like this is my favorite thing in the world
it's so hilarious and it's like okay okay boomer yeah look at how funny we are yeah it's
it really was like the once i saw it was made in 2015 i was like oh like this makes perfect
sense like this is at the height of like you watched a show or a movie on netflix and it was
like huh i can't believe they went i can't believe they made that like i can't believe people
paid money to make that that's it's interesting and this is it almost kills
it like almost killed netflix it like almost killed netflix that making such bad content for so
long oh yeah well i mean not this i think this this actually has like rave reviews i believe oh
really um but um it's terrible it just wasn't as like yeah but and it's it's this crew of people
at 2015 is just past their prime like parks and rec is over with amy at all of these people
are no longer on SNL, whoever was on SNL.
It's like on the down swing of their popularity.
And so, yeah, it just, it comes across, like you said, a little cringe, a little try hard.
Yeah, sorry, can't Jesse just ate my.
I can see him non on your cord there.
Well, he was not on my cord.
Now he's not on my thumb.
He likes to chew on my thumb.
And like, he, like, puts my thumb.
thumbnail in between his teeth and like like and just like picks is like flossum yeah like kind of yeah
it's it's really weird I thought it was normal until like I was like oh yeah just like another cat
owner I was like oh does your cat are you shitting me you see him just put the whole cord in
there he pulled it out earlier he keeps putting the whole like headphone cord in his mouth and
just like pulling at it if you're going to take the thumb away he's got to you on something yeah
that's exactly what he's doing he pulled it out earlier i don't know if you saw me like frantically
scrambling over here see fucker just pulled the cords out like from the headset just uh he's being
the worst it's just he i've said it a million times but he is just he's really struggling with
not being the constant like all of kelly's attention going to him all the time like he's not the baby
anymore yeah he's not the baby anymore and now so now he comes to me and he expects me to dream
like the baby so anyways catch us he being a huge dick aside um oh that was too hard now you're banished
come here all right episode seven is the staff party brandon yep we cover we pretty much
covered that um yeah that's right that's right every everybody everybody's fucking except for victor
Yeah, Lindsay's hooking up with the rocker and she wants to publish her article.
That's the episode, yeah, that's the episode where she does publish it and they all find out, right?
Yeah, and Andy and Katie fell in love in the musical.
They kissed and her boyfriend saw him kiss in the musical and that meant war.
Yep.
And then, yeah, so episode eight is Camp Tiger Claw.
They're coming over.
for uh to to start a word breaking a treaty did you catch that from coop yeah 1978 uh i forget
the name of the lake uh treaty of versai i think is what they said brandon it's definitely not what
they said they said some weird lake name like winnie winnie taha something like that um
but so they break the sorry i know i've been referencing south park a lot but before it left
to HBO I went on a huge tear the episode where they do um lake tardy caca with like jimmy and his fight with
mimsy and like dude that episode makes me and it tally anytime you get tally in there
and tally's like strung out and covered and come and he's like supposed to be a towel so guy we need
towels down here we got wet kids on the beach where's that towel he's that towel he's
tying off some heroin in the bathroom and then like the I forget the kid's name but
mimsy is like his buddy and mimsy keeps messing up have you seen the Shane Gillis thing where
they're like what what celebrity do you look like the most he's like it's not a
celebrity but a lot of people say it look a lot like mimsy from South Park I don't see
that no because he does he like after he said I died because I was like oh my God
Shane Gillis looks a lot like Mimsie from South Park.
Anyways, um, he does.
Right?
Like, does he look a lot like Mimsy?
It's really incredible. Mimsy!
Damn it, Mimsy!
Okay, uh, yeah, so we get, um, that, um, Ronald Reagan and the tanks show up to blow.
campfire would yeah and then that's where the uh chris chris pine comes out and sings his song to save
everyone yep and then he gets fucking popped again gets shot in the head but then we see at the end
you know he's just on to his next life yeah faked it yeah just like Elvis
see Elvis faked his death i think Elvis faked everything geez
I shouldn't I don't know what to tell you but so yeah so that's that's the the show and so that's the end of the first day of camp and then we have two months of shenanigans until the motion picture takes place I have a couple like fun little connections here before we do that I just have to say Marguerite Monroe regardless of me struggling with her name did a great job it was like she was the
one of the few it was her and elizabeth thanks like you like you said the the musical numbers that they
do that her and paul rudd do for the play are great yeah like she crushed it like it was it was
really good and i thought she did such a good job of like she just recreated that character 15
years later like it was like i thought she did a really good job of like staying incredible just like
coop you know like is stayed very true to her character that she played the first time around i would
say her character of the main ones that you actually like are involved with is the most consistent
from the first one to this one um because paul andy's all over the place in this one um
even even coops all over the fucking place in this one yeah um i guess i guess i guess i
guess ben and mckinley are pretty consistent from the first one to this one as well yeah but
amy polar's characters all like they all go so absurd yeah that it's it's hard to be it's hard
to realize that these are the same even though they're connecting the they're writing the backstory of
the first one it's like these feel like different characters yeah um except for uh connie and then
i would say uh probably ben and mckinley where another good one but yeah everybody else is all
the place.
Yeah, but so I have a, yeah, I got a couple.
There's, uh, well, these are.
Wendy's most important deal of the day has a fresh lineup.
Pick any two breakfast items for $4.
New four-piece French toast sticks, bacon or sausage wrap,
biscuit or English muffin sandwiches, small hot coffee, and more.
Limited time only at participating Wendy's Taxes Extra.
these here never mind these i said i had i had chat gbt i was like give me some connections here
uh between the first and the the first one and this there's no way that it did that well
there's no way i asked it and then never like pre-read it until just now and i'm reading it and
this is fucking terrible yeah you do you may as well be a seventh grader handing in a fucking
chat gpt report without proofreading it you know that's how you that's how you seem right now
maybe you got proof read your work dude get it together i don't i don't proof read anything
and i never will brandem no chat gpt is always going to do that with the stuff that's it
that was the the fault of the last one you know anyways um
but yeah this fucking robots man this show it wasn't terrible like it wasn't the worst thing
i've ever watched but it also like i probably could have gone without watching it you know
like i could have it's wholly unnecessary yeah and that's and i kind of give it a pass
because at this time netflix paid them i'm assuming to do this and like
like if Netflix they did too I built so I believe did this one come out um like I'm taking the
paycheck to make this if Netflix comes calling you know thousand blame them for doing that but you
can and and I don't even blame Netflix because this was when Netflix admitted I think they
actually came out and admitted it right like we didn't know where we were doing with the original
content we went too hard in the paint and made
some shit stuff but like now they've come back and like they do a better job i am a sucker
for netflix like the the the Netflix version of hallmark christmas movies oh my god those
are some solid there's some real bangers like anything with Vanessa hudgeonson in it oh my god
dude i'm all the way in knights tale um what's the one where she's like a she's like a baker and
she goes out to Genevieve and goes and does the competition and the princess switch the
princess switch are you trying to say Geneva maybe yeah maybe that was it um she she goes
out to Genevievee um do you don't talk about though the princess switch ah dude no I haven't
watched like two or three of the Netflix ones I do need to I do need to get into them
they have Vanessa Hudgens by the way not Hudgenson they have her I do that
every time I just like Hutchinson better I think don't they do have a bunch of Lindsay
Lowhan ones too yes okay yeah all all great stuff there's there's one way so now
they poached the girl from mean girls Gretchen Wieners they poached her
Lacey Shebeer yeah yeah they poached her from Hallmark and
And so, like, yeah, last year she, they did one where it was like hot frosty, it's called.
And like she put, I heard about that one.
I loved it.
Yeah.
Oh, my God, dude.
I loved it.
It was, I thought it was just so dumb and clever all the same.
That is like the one thing.
Like, dude, we have not had a lot of good original content coming out lately.
But you know what has gotten so much better is Christmas movies.
Like, they're incredible now.
or maybe my standards are just lowered i don't know yeah i think you're just you're you're you just
care anymore i mean that's that's the best way to to come at i i think that's the best way to come at
entertainment is to just like i saw uh what was this you know dan soda the comedian yeah he has a
bit where he's like he's like god i wish i was dumb he was like i wish because dumb people have
the most fun and he he the the bit he uses he's like just
imagine like walking in a movie theater seeing fast in the furious on screen and being like
fuck yeah dude it's like they're just so much happier uh that's how i approached my
entertainment is i'm i am the dumbest person in the world i am just here i'm here for just the vibes
dude i don't care about uh as as as persnickety as i am yeah i do i do notice these things i will
point them out but i still love the like we we dissected mighty ducks for
We dissected those three movies for 50 hours, right?
If you added up all those episodes.
Brought up a lot of problems.
I still love them all.
Still love them all.
It's, yeah, and maybe it's also me.
You know, I'm going to turn 40 in April.
And so, like, I've also just hit that age where terrible Christmas movies, you just
start liking them.
I don't know.
I hit that age at 16.
Dude.
I really, I, like.
Like, Hallmark ones are fine, but those Netflix ones, my God.
And like, what's the other, like California Christmas?
Ooh.
And then California Christmas City Lights.
I love those.
Always watching those.
Every year.
That's, that'll be my homework this holiday season is to delve into the Netflix ones.
Because you've.
Brandon, I cannot holiday with the, Emma Roberts and the Australian or British guy.
Yeah.
So good.
Okay.
Okay.
yeah that's i'll put those on my list those ones um to check out this holiday season
because yeah yeah i've uh i die you know we we need more uh speaking of which we need more
marguerite morrow um we need to get her on either the back on the hallmark uh train or on the
netflix train yeah because we got fucking dude love always santa was a masterpiece
it was it was pretty good but yeah i just as someone like you who loves hallmark christmas
movies i cannot believe that you haven't even i can't even believe you haven't even gotten
princess switch dude i can't believe it i didn't do princess switch i did
i evergast it it was there's like four of them those kelly loves those movies and she's
what was the uh what was the big one
Netflix had a huge one, like, I want to say, like, 2017, 2018 time frame.
It was about, I mean, they're all about fucking princesses,
but they made, like, you know, seven sequels.
Oh, and then the baby, they did a baby one, too.
What the fuck was that one?
I can't remember, and it's the girl that's, she,
she's in stuff you know the main girl she's got like kind of red hair sorry it is this
stupid it's a stupid thing to say that's the best description it's the girl she's in stuff
uh oh this one dude yeah i gotta get dude carry uh i always i never know how to say his name
carry yules the dude who plays despero um then he's in princess bride that guy he's got uh he's got a
he's got a netflix a couple of netflix christmas movies here i'm gonna get into that what the
fuck i just watched princess bride the other day actually a christmas prince is the one i'm thinking of
a christmas yes that was the big one that like set it off and and it that had a it's like christmas
prince royal baby i watched all three of those royal wedding royal baby i watched all three of those
but those are the only ones netflix you're gonna get our girl coming out of high school
musical it's all in this together with princess switch night the christmas night one is is i
really like that one they you know what they they're because i'm looking at this netflix article
about their christmas movies you know it gets lumped into here what family switch the one we did
yeah technically it's a christmas movie it's okay it's just i did not i did not care for that one
wasn't terrible but compare compared to like all the other
Netflix Christmas movies, it's just not as good.
And the Lindsay Lohan one was good.
There's one where like she gets into an accident and forgets who.
She like forgets who she is and then, yeah, like she falls in love with the lumber
jack.
Yeah, I love a good.
What is it called?
Amnesia.
Amnesia.
Love a good amnesia tale.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Oh, anyways.
you know what I was going to tell you about, which maybe it doesn't need to be on the podcast, but I guess we'll put it on there. I thought of you the other day because I don't know how it got on. I had to put like, did not like, what did you put this sad boy on my TikTok for? Like what the fuck is wrong with you? But it was like, I can't remember where it came up anyways. It was either Instagram or TikTok and it was a kid that was like, oh, grief is handled in different ways. Like it's been three years and no one asked me about my mom.
and i made me think of you because this kid his mom and i was like he's he's like grief
farming for like pity farming for people i guess as the use would say and it made me think of you
because you would have just hated this kid like he would have just he's mad because
when he says nobody asked about his mom is he's like just in general because she's
like or like his his family like i don't know i think he meant in general like i think he was just
looking for pity because no one asks about
his mom and she's been dead for three years
and I was, okay, so three, that is.
What are your thoughts? It made me think of you.
Because I was like, I think Brandon might
thought this kid needs to like, you know.
I mean, he needs to, yeah, he needs to fucking
cut the shit on.
Nut up or shut up, bro.
But, uh, get the shit on Instagram.
Three years. Yeah, I mean, posting it on
Instagram, go talk to a therapist, dude.
That's what I thought.
Listen, man, if you're having troubles like that,
like don't put that on your friends, man.
That's a lot of like emotional baggage to put on friends.
That is that I'm a I'm a huge proponent of your friends or not your therapists.
That like that shit drives me crazy when people do that shit.
But three years is a weird time frame because with stuff like and I get it probably
depends on how they pass away.
Yeah.
But if it's if it's a sudden thing.
Yeah.
There is like a good three plus year.
say time frame where yeah people especially like like family close families you you don't bring
it up because it's it's still people still you don't ask people are still yeah so you there is a good
like three year time frame where you just don't bring the person up um because you're like i don't
you know i don't want to i don't want to ruin christmas you know um so he's he's like he might
still be stuck in that time frame where his family just refuses to acknowledge it yeah don't get
don't get there give it give it a couple years and you'll be you'll
and you'll be you'll be you'll be you'll start talking about it again yeah like one one thing you
should stop doing though is posting a sad video of you drinking a beer for god's sake go to a therapist
yeah it's sad video of you drinking a beer on instagram it's not going to help it's not yeah it's not
yeah you know i felt bad for the guy but i'm i'm glad i came to the expert opinion yeah yeah
i totally get where what he's saying without having to actually watch
watch the video but i totally get what he's saying but yeah go to a fucking therapist dude
especially now it's so easy you can do you just you it's covered by all major
insurances now and there's fucking apps you zoom call you just hop on a zoom call you talk it through an app
you can chat them it's so easy to do it now chat gpt is going to give you the same advice
because it's going to pull it from like all of the medical journals online as paying
a million dollars for a therapist so just make sure you're putting the right inputs in though
to chat gpte you know like yeah i wouldn't recommend that just i mean they they bongled my
fucking uh tv show synopsis i don't know if i trust them with my mental health well you just i
guess that's true because if you're depressed you might not be thinking very logically about your
inputs there but i'd be worried about their outputs too you know i don't trust robots my throat
know be nice to i mean i just you try and be nice i'm tough but fair like if it gives me a bad
answer sometimes i'll be like ff yikes like did you even read the prompt i don't damn are you
are you one of the people that will like this like type in response to a robot like fuck you
no okay good good because i've seen that before where people will like like fuck you you fucking robot and
like send it to the chat and it's like dude this is what do we need that's
accomplishing nothing no I have like gotten stuck in the customer service loop
where oh yeah yeah and and I have gone fuck you do you do it out loud but like to like type it
out and send it away is weird no I type that one time I was like fuck I had the
to just see if it like triggered anything because it just kept sending me in the infinite loop and i was like
you know what let's see if this at least triggers like an escalation response it didn't did it
no it just started over again that's the worst dude yeah that's the fucking worst it was exfinity you know
the exfinity endless loop it's a nightmare yeah i so i had a customer service thing like that uh fucking
nightmare i it was 20 it was right when i moved back in 2023 like at the beginning of the
year all right because i'm on i'm on boost mobile um and i tried to switch to visible verizon's
like uh budget one i tried to switch to that and i don't i i'm sure i messed something up along
the way but they both fucked it up royally to where i didn't have phone service for like a week
And it was like going back and forth with, thank God I was like living with my dad at the time because I just came back.
So I had somebody else's phone that I could use to like call them and like talk it through.
Because otherwise it was a bit, I would have done everything through chat and that was just giving me a fucking rigmarole.
Yeah.
But that that was like the worst week of my life.
Week is a strong, I think it was like three days.
It was three days with no phone.
It felt like a week.
Yeah.
And it was the worst thing.
days of my life it's it's scared me from ever switching because what ended up happening is I just
stayed it like instead of switching to visible I stayed at boost mobile because they fucked it up
so bad that was like the easiest way to solve it was just to be like hey take me back boost
mobile um and so and then I'm still on boost mobile because I'm too afraid to ever try that
again now because I don't want to I don't want to go through that might have to go in store
that sounds that sounds like a lot yep do they even have i don't do they even have fucking boost mobile
stores anymore no verizon if you if you don't switch to verizon see well the thing with the switch
is because i mean i really want to i should not be talking about you switching your phone
playing on the pot but it's like i'm not giving out the number you know it's fine
i know does this is where we bring in the listeners keep going
they enjoy it i mean it's better than the fucking nonsense show that's true but uh because i wanted
i really want to keep i don't want to change my phone number you know i've had it for 20 years at this
point uh longer like you can't at this point like how do you even go about like i mean honest
do people still send the text like hey got on a new phone honestly i did think about it to where i was
like you know if i like during that whole fiasco i was like maybe i should just
you know cut my losses and change my phone number and i started thinking and i was like you know it
probably wouldn't be the worst thing to cut you know cut some people out of my life just you get a new
phone number and not tell them you know i could clean house you know um not so it's an option but uh
oh but yeah that was that was the thing is i wanted to keep the phone number and so in order
to do that because technically the number belongs to boost mobile there's like a like a there's
going back to the TV show,
there was a secret military code
I needed from Boost Mobile
to tell Verizon in order to get the switch going.
And that's what, like, fucked it up is
I couldn't get the code from Boost Mobile
or they gave me the wrong code
or there was some fucking nonsense, but...
Sounds nonsensical, that's for sure.
It was, it was honestly
three of the most stressful days of my entire life
because it was no phone
and then having to,
like I has spoke
to 20 different customer service reps during those three days you know just calling Boost
mobile then transfer me around calling of you know Verizon those kids in Guatemala I
don't know what the fuck you're talking about like I ain't used to have to do that
yeah you're you're the problem heath of boost mobile
is sucking up here exactly but anyway anyway anyway um
yeah we went on some tangents there uh we covered the show we covered the show it was it was it was
made just all you don't need to watch it it's wholly unnecessary what you should do if you're interested
watch the original movie watch the original movie or if you if you want like a snippet of this one
just go to youtube and type in like victor victor highlights just get just get the victor highlights and
and that'll that'll be more than more than enough yeah victor and neal they were the the
saving grace yeah uh so do you do you have a cakey rating lined up here he's oh geez um let's see
2.48 now 2.37 2.37 okay i'm gonna be right in that ballpark i'm gonna do you
2.25 yeah wasn't the worst thing i've ever seen in my life wasn't good but you know it was
it yeah it wasn't terrible but there's just just you don't need it there's no need yeah if the
original movie is like your favorite movie and the history of movies and yeah you should
you should throw this on if because it's such like you mentioned it's it comes off kind of cringe
because like this this group of people is such a niche
like comedic taste yeah like you have to you have to really be in that niche if you
to you know for this to be amazing for you um because like I said they're all
they're all 50 years old we're past the prime yeah it's it's just it's just too much
them trying to make coop young was probably the highlight for me that was that just that tickled my funny bone every time i saw him i was like
that was good my my my i the two highlights that i had victor and uh michael sarah michael sarah as the lawyer
was great those are the only two that's those are the two that's like in uh this is the end when michael sarah just
steals the show at the beginning of the movie
Coked up
smacks Rihanna's ass
Yeah
Great
Yeah
Yeah this is it was
It's totally unnecessary
If this is your
niche of comedy
And I enjoyed this
Like this is kind of my niche
I enjoy it but I'm not like super
Into it
But if you are then this is right up your alley
But again the original most of the picture
Does it way better
Yeah
Yeah this is just a worst
version of that exactly um on that note on that note we do have one more wet hot american summer
i remember granted i haven't watched it again since it first came out in 2017
but i remember 10 years later being better being good we'll see though we'll see
we'll see that's next on the list 10 years later
You know,
I think of it.
