Remember, it's not worth winning if you can't win! Hello, hello, hello. What is up, everybody? This is the Cake Eaters podcast. My name is Brandon, aka America's favorite box shower. I've got my very special co-host here with me. He is born and bred on the mean streets of Iowa. Heath, how are you? Brandon, I just, number one, I don't appreciate you starting this podcast off that way like you you woke up this morning and you chose violence for the three you did for the three people that like regularly listen to the podcast it's going to be a great callback though they're going to fucking love it okay and for those people let me just let me just clear the air on this whole heath iowa nebraska conspiracy

theory that you have thrown out into the the world with reckless abandon it's not a conspiracy theory you were you said it yourself you were in fact born in iowa okay this is a 100 identical match to leslie no leslie no front like just is a pawnee person through and through but her parents didn't trust the pawnee hospital so they ran over to eagleton so technically she was born in eagleton but she grew up in pawnee her whole life that's me brandon ask me brandon ask me if i've ever once had a physical address in iowa ask me have you no the answer is no i have not been would have been a great plot twist if you said yes it would have been so good real fucking m night sham but no, I have not ever once, but I was born in Iowa.

I like that. You bring up the Leslie no comparison because she solved that issue in a way that I think you need to solve this issue. Okay. Where Nebraska needs to absorb Iowa. Just how hostile takeover, how Pawnee and Eagleton merged. Yeah yeah and then you had old eagleton that's what you need to do you need to iowa nebraska need to become one that's the only way to solve

this issue it's the only way hard pass they're on their own again they can deal with their own shit all right anyway Speaking of good west Good old-fashioned middle America Midwest Let's dig into this movie One of my all-time favorites Today's episode, we're going over The 1993 classic starring

None other than Pauly Shore But also Lane Smith A.K.A. Coach Riley And that is Son-in-Law Alright, alright, all right, all right, Brandon. I cannot fucking wait. I was waiting for him to break that out. Oh, he never did,

though. I was, too. I was kind of hoping for it. I thought that would be a really fun wrinkle. This came out a year after the Ducks, so he has already portrayed Coach Riley, so this would have been a great callback if he would have broken an all right, all right, all right. Yeah, but I mean, he's a know, so he's going to really invest in each role.

And that's true. He doesn't, he, he, he doesn't strike me as like a, uh, an improv guy and ad lib or he's not, he's not going off script. He's by, he's by the book. Yeah. He's a true professional that Lane Smith. Yeah. 100% the definition of one, one one might say but he absolutely

delivered on none other than the uh the one of the main characters the main character's dad yep walter warner walter warner jr jr that's true walter warner jr because you also have walter warner senior played by Mason Adams. I want to talk about this cast since we're already going through this here. This cast is star-studded to say the least. These people have no business being in this terrible of a movie. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Brandon. I don't know if you saw on just for the listeners out there.

This is not on any streaming services. I just out of the goodness of my heart purchased this bad boy on Amazon, where at that time it had a five star rating. Did you see that? I didn't. I didn't see that. I have IMDb up here, though, and it has a five point nine out of 10. So I'm not not looking the the hottest right there well go to go to amazon prime rotten tomatoes 21 percent oh that's that's

not very good but rotten tomatoes doesn't know hoopla it has a 4.1 out of 5 though i don't know what the fuck there you go that's that's where it deserves to live it's uh it's a little gem out there well i would say i would say 21 is solid um where's the amazon so yeah well amazon the product um the product the dvd product on amazon has 4.8 out of 5 stars but i'm assuming boom i'm assuming that those ratings are about how timely the shipping was and how it came in a perfect and how great of an experience it was watching this movie with their families like it was for me this is not a family friendly movie brand the the amount of awkward sexual conversations that the family members have with each other is unbelievable it is

unreal i just but but back to back to the cast back to the cast do you want to do favorite poly should you want to end the cast discussion with favorite poly shore movie because there's only five to choose from we can we can start in that conversation right now it's biodome and that's it it's the only watchable movie of his only watchable okay so for the listeners no offense to paulie shore with paulie shore biodome yes correct is his number one movie number two behind that is probably son-in-law uh number three easy number, almost number two is in the army now. Number four, Encino man, which might surprise some listeners. Cause that is one of his best, but ah, they're almost all tied. Those four. They're just, they're so great.

They're all just in the exact same row. Jury is fine, but it's not on the level of the rest of these. Pauly Shore should never be your leading man. If we're, if we're leading off with Pauly Shore, we've already made the mistake. Brandon, do you know what that tells me? You're just not wheezing any juice right now. No offense to Pauly Shore. I think he is a great comedic actor in a supporting role.

He should not be your lead man though ever oh him as lead man in these in these four to five movies if you count jury duty just an absolute gold in the 90s young the seven to ten year old he thought this was the funniest fucking shit in the entire plan that makes so much sense but the poly shore in the 90s is just the definition of nepotism the absolute definition of nepotism you know his parents you know who his parents are right mitzi shore and sam shore i think is his dad's name sammy shore they owned and operated the the comedy club in la that was they they his they're like legends in the comedy uh the comedy circle especially on the west coast like they they're they're responsible for for breaking out so many stars like like chris rock i believe uh started

there there's just so they but so that that's that's where Pauly, those are Pauly Shore's parents. He's a spoiled, rotten comedy kid, essentially. Well, these movies were still great. All right, so Pauly Shore, those were his movies in order. Let's keep going through this cast because it

really is fucking awesome. Who do you want to talk about next? Do you want to talk about the kid from Sandlar? Yes, Patrick Renner. The big green? I haven't watched that in forever. I need to. It's on Disney+. It's on my list, actually. Patrick Renner.

Everybody will know him from Sandlot. Ham Porter. The big Bambino. Right? Hambino. That's right That's right I haven't watched Sandlot in forever too We could do that one right?

Isn't it Jesse and Sandlot? And Luis Maybe we'll wait until after D2 To do that one since Luis is in it And Star is in it So Patrick Renner, he's from Big Green as well, as you mentioned. Fantastic. He fucking kills it in this

movie. He's the best part of this movie. Between him rummaging through his own sister's panty drawer and then migrating over to the doormates. One of my favorite lines is they just drop her off at the dorm room and he's going through

her suitcase and pulls out like the the tighty whities the grainy panties and he goes he goes cotton white way real thrill seeker over here and then he then he wanders over to her dorm mates and starts going through her shit and pulls out her bra real real fucking pervert dude all of this while he's wearing a shirt did you see the shirt he was wearing when they first get to la that says seduce me please this kid's like 12 years old 11 years old my favorite is that he somehow got a prescription a subscription to playboy too yeah i mean you could you could do that real easily back really yeah man i did i did not have those kind of means in the 90s.

But yeah, he was absolutely. You needed to have a steady allowance or some kind of money-making opportunity. But yeah, there were kids that I grew up with who had weird-ass subscriptions. One kid I grew up with had a penthouse subscription. How? I don't fucking know. He was a real weirdo, though. Real thrifty in the wrong kind of way Real thrill seeker that guy

Yeah yeah Probably cooking meth these days Probably But yeah We'll talk about some of his one liners In here because We gotta move quickly because I have so many Highlights of this movie

brandon like literally the first hour of it is considered a highlight from me but anyway so so the the other the other people in this cast so the the the main actress okay the main actress carla uh gugino gugino i'm i butchered that last name but Everybody I don't know about everybody I know her from the Did you ever watch the haunting Stuff on Netflix Like the haunting of Hill House the haunting of blind man Oh no the haunting of Hill House is

Fantastic TV Is it a scary TV show though I mean you'll probably Get you'll probably be real scared of it but it's not like a scary see i can't i can't take that kind of yeah but it's it's yeah it like it's not like scary it's not like a horror thing or anything but there's like ghosts and shit you know um yeah i don't know dude i already have crazy enough stress dreams and i tell you it's so it's so good though dude it's so good the

other day i was delivering a training during the end of the world and like meteors were crashing down it was just you know stress dreams man i can't watch scary stuff because then it bleeds into like work stress dreams and then i get maybe not for you but every everybody else check out haunting everyone else um and she plays she plays the mom in that and fucking crushes it okay and then she's in so many other she's a i just well-rounded famous actress yeah watchmen american gangster that denzel piece dude denzel is just wonderful san andreas she plays the san andreas the mom to the rock in that one so yeah she was in uh one She's in a ton of shit Gerald's game

The new Gerald's game that came out a couple years ago Yeah She's all over the place Fantastic actress Way better than this movie Then you have You have Cindy Pickett Who plays her mom

Fantastic actress What is she in i wasn't familiar as familiar with i mean she she's a little older uh actress so i don't know how how familiar you would be with her some of her stuff yeah but she's uh she's in ferris bueller's day off she plays his uh his mom i believe okay okay and ferris bueller's day off she didn't do a great job um she was in sleepwalkers did you ever watch that that's uh that's a weird ass fucking movie dude oh jeez i was i was so much more bold with like scary movies and stuff when i was younger and then i got older and life was so stressful that i didn't need to stress myself

out while watching tv that one's not scary i would say but it's like um it's it's about a couple that like. They like shape like shapeshifters or something like shapeshifting the cats, and then they like they're like doing evil stuff on the side or whatever. But that movie is there's a there's a real weird, creepy twist in it that I won't spoil for anybody. But if you're into if you're into not great really out there bizarro movies that go check that out well we haven't even talked about important person on the cast yet i'm gonna get to i'm gonna get to her um we got a couple more though because we have uh dan gothier who plays travis who's uh Did you ever watch Teen Witch? No

He's the boy from Teen Witch He also, I don't know if you're a Friends fan At all I fucking hate Friends He plays Chip Matthews Rachel's prom date That stands her up and goes and sleeps with somebody else On prom night

That's very high school I have controversial opinions on some certain movies and tv shows where i just don't like them but then i like like really bad cheesy movies like this so you know my my movie opinion tastes you can take or leave i'll call myself out on that but yeah okay who else do we got on the cat after travis we got who i think you're talking about is uh good old tiffany amber thesen otherwise known as kelly kapowski yes who is saved by the bell my first love ever braided my first love everybody's first love everybody was kelly kap Kapowski Kelly Kapowski have you ever

have you gone back and watched Saved by the Bell recently at all no I would I was never in to Saved by the Bell I just it never it never hooked me the only reason I ever like really watched it was for the Ike yeah I loved Saved by the Bell because it was on after school all the time growing up so I in like on the weekends right like saturday mornings you would get it uh but i think i'm just i think i'm a little too young i think i missed it yeah it was like five years younger than you i think i missed the the saved by the bell wave yeah oh man it was it was so good but like if you go back and watch it now like zach morris is a real piece of shit i idolized zach i thought he was the coolest dude ever and we both had

blonde hair so i was like yeah dude i want to be zach morris and then i went back and re-watched it i was like this kid fucking sucks dude like he's a real piece of shit i feel bad for mr belding some of the time like one of the times he just manipulates everyone there's like a whole funny or die thing about it but um i shouldn't say that Is that what it was? I was trying to think Zach Morris is a piece of shit What did you say it was? Funny or die

But more importantly Why you actually can't Go back and rewatch Saved by the Bell Is that it's out of order No matter where you go the episodes are out of order and so it'll be like classroom and then like that those like beach season remember when they did like the beach stuff and they'll like go back and forth between the classroom and

the beach and there's no episode continuity out there it's just all jumbled and it drives me so insane i've never gone back and watched it i leave it on for the dogs sometimes like when i when i go when when kelly and i go downtown yeah just you know throw a little say bye about the bell on but anyways kelly kapowski crushed it there she does a great job in this movie too it's just my love for kelly kapowski knows no bounds i it's i i honestly think it's why i ended up with kelly just just in it for the name just in it for the name that's it we don't even like each other but all right that's that is a star-studded cast.

And I've got nothing but endless favorite parts of this movie, Brandon. Do you want to start digging into those? It's fantastic. Before we start digging into favorite parts, though, I want you to speak to going back to your Iowa background here. I just said, Brandon, I've never lived in Iowa. All right, keep going but but you are you are very familiar with the small town aspect you're very familiar especially this specific small town region because they're in south they're in south dakota lincoln high school i don't think

they ever mentioned what city they're in but south dakota yeah so you you, this farm life, you are, you are well, well-versed in, can you speak to how authentic of a, of a representation this is? Okay. So there's a few things that I need to call out for this, because like, this is pretty small.

Like I would say this is probably town of like 800 to 1,000 people tops. They looked like. In the middle of America. So where I'm from, Wayne, Nebraska is northeast Nebraska. It looked like a graduating class of like 80, I want to say. I don't even think it was that. It looked a little smaller than that. I was trying to remember it and that it looked a little smaller than that. I was trying to like, do like, remember it.

He's a math in my head, but I think it looked like a graduating class, like 35, 40. And there wasn't very many kids in that, in that crowd. And that's like, that is what I pictured. It's just a little bit smaller than where I'm from. So I'm from a town of five, 5,600 people in the middle of nowhere. This actually like the farm region where they showed all the corn is probably really close to where I'm from because it's like, what is that? Southeast South Dakota. Um, and so it, it

looked the farm when they like drove in on the truck through those country roads looked like where we used to do what we call gravel travel when you would put beer in the car with you and you'd go drive the country roads like you drive past farms like that all over the place um so yeah this was spot on to farm country and like some of it was a little dramatized because like, you don't always have a lot of barn dances, but like, I actually, you know what, I take that back because I used to, I used to bartend for polka dances in Randolph. There was like a dance hall in Randolph and I would go after I would work for the city and then I'd go ref games after that, summer league games. And then I would go to the big dance hall in Randolph, Nebraska, and I would bartend polka nights.

And I got a lot of quarter tips, Brandon, at 25 cent. Don't put it all in one place. Actually, oh my God. Speaking of the Randolph dance hall, one time there was a biker rally there and it was that biker rally had concluded with what I consider the worst wet t-shirt contest of all time. It was, Oh my God. I cannot.

The mud wrestling in this movie. Oh my God. Oh, it was so much worse. I'm just, Oh my, I forgot that happened. Oh my God. Yeah. It was so much worse. I'm just, Oh my, I forgot that happened. Oh my God. Yeah. It was like a real fucking like biker rally with like small town Northeast Nebraskans

and people were just fucking housed all day drinking a 75 cent, but heavies and oh my god that was god maybe they were like a dollar 50 i can't remember speaking of hometown stuff though do you see uh some of the beers they were drinking uh in son-in-law on the beach pounding some rocky mountain water dudes that's fine well and then he he keeps saying he constantly says chill all the time. That's their slogan, their catchphrase. Oh my God. This is pretty authentic when he went there.

Not all the farm stuff was super close. I actually have it in my notes that Big Mike would point out some of the stuff on the farm that was incorrect when they were going through it. You're like, yeah, that's not happening. You know, that's not.

I've got it in here. The scene they have where they treat it where he's like feeding the grain or whatever. Yeah, they treat it like he finally figured out what he's doing. Zero of that grain lands where it should. That's drove big Mike nuts like, oh, geez, what a waste. That's a big mike nuts like oh geez what a waste

that's a big old bag of feed that he just you know dumped it all at the end didn't even get any in the fucking truck real stickler also the driving of the combine really just and be like you know like you're not jumping in a combine like that and driving it around where you can write your name and it just you know that's it's a big mistake if you're crap big dumb ass like that is crashing that combine but you know what would get him when he would uh when theo would catch him with the oh that first gear is a little tricky and and the tractor jumped up and drove to the fence oh man big mike, Big Mike loved some of that. Really cracked him up.

Because he was a farmhand. So my dad grew up in Laurel, Nebraska, which is spot on for this. Okay. Where it's just like all farms. They don't even have a grocery store, I don't think, there. They have to drive to Wayne to go get groceries. That's where Grandpa Norb and Grandma Tizzy were from. Okay. The big city.

They'd come to the big city of Wayne, America. But yeah, he got a big mic as a former farmhand. And growing up as a farmer his whole life, he got a big kick out of this yeah he would like turn like orphaned baby raccoons into pets all the time and stuff oh yeah there's a i get it i get a lot of it from from big i blame him so does my mother all right so dude should we talk about so another thing before before we switch away From small town Pauly Shore multiple times throughout this movie Mentions that how inbred

Everybody is from the small town Farms in South Dakota Can you speak to that Okay so this is like Say I took a Random sampling of ten Ten people how many of those are inbred Seven Alright Brandon like I'm gonna chalk I took a random sampling of 10, 10 people. How many of those are in bread? He's seven.

All right, Brandon. Like I'm going to chalk. This is the annoying shit that people ask. Like when you first, this is like, this is why this movie was so fucking authentic. Cause that reaction,

those reactions are legitimate. Like when I. He walks up to multiple people and call some inbred. Inbrereders. That's when he gets his rustic wear is also one of my highlights. But no, you get those stupid fucking questions like that all the time. When you move out for the first time, people are like, oh, did you have running water? It's not the fucking 1930s.

Like, yes, we had. I grew up in the city. I didn't learn how to drive a tractor until i started working for the city when i was like 18 you know like it just ah that's that's that's the same right up there with the fucking do you have running water or did you do you drive your tractor to work or oh do you do you drive horses to and from where you go like no god it's like the internet hit when i was like 12 like yes it is like going back in time every once in a while you were there you know that

like it's just it feels like you're going back in time because it's just you know it's a slice of americana and sign me up for it with a help healthy uh topping a homemade ice cream yeah the pie and ice cream social don't get me fired up about a ton of pie and ice cream social that was a fun that was a fun barn dance the barn dance dude you play boot scooting boogie and i'm fucking there no matter where it is i mean that's i mean that's another thing i wanted to touch the soundtrack for this was pretty spot on. You had Boots Hound's Boogie. Was it the John Denver

I'm a Country Boy? Yeah, well, that's another one of my highlights. The combine scene when he thinks it's a video game and then he starts singing, thank God I'm a country boy and he writes Crawl in the... And then there's a bunch of they play at

the um the barn scene they play uh or not the barn scene at the bachelor party they play a bunch of travis tritt songs and then um rebecca has a bunch of travis tritt posters in her room which is you know nice love a good love a good travis tritt song uh i just all right so can we go back through my highlights so yeah we can touch are you done pissing me off about small town america we can i know you did that just to get me worked out yeah it really does like or like you know what i would get to i would get um oh mr corn eating some corn? You're from Nebraska, you eating your corn? Corn fed, man. That's how I like my football players. Corn fed.

Corn huskers, but that's it, people. Now, granted... Corn fed shooting up steroids, Heath. I don't want to... Is that shooting up steroids? Although, like... Me and all my friends... No, dude, they were not shooting up steroids. like well i'm specifically talking about the nebraska corn those beers don't fucking dr tom osborne bro you don't fucking bro don't at me don't at

brandon let's get back to sun and law because we're about to really fight if you're gonna at dr tom osborne yes there were some Situations where players May or may not have dragged People up or down the stairs By their hair yes that happened at Lawrence Phillips but you know Don't I've read extensively

About that period of Nebraska College football and Nebraska Specifically The travelers In the ears I have no idea what you're talking about do not put i'm not saying it diminishes it at all i i so i am one of the people where i if you gave me the option i would i would unban steroids in every sport let them fucking do it i don't give a shit i don't fucking care people just end up killing each other because they got too too strong um but that's why that's why i want that's why i want to watch sports i want to see people do

shit that normal people can't do you know what normal people can't do steroids well they could but it would be a nightmare but i don't know i would love to watch normal people do olympic sports now well i mean you want to watch one just so you could get you watch what what's the what's the i forget where there's a meme about yeah it's like would you let one guy one normal guy go through just so we know how good they are could you could you imagine me going through some of those olympic sports i was i've been watching i'm good i've been watching all the two feet i am not good on shit i've been watching because i love the winter olympics i i don't i don't care for summer olympics i don't need to that in my life but winter olympics i just love

winter sports in general that's fine so i've been watching uh all like the ski like the high jumps uh and like the the freaking i don't even know what they're called but the ski shit where they jump off the 60 foot whatever yeah and they're you know flying like a squirrel for 700 feet i love that shit but i always turned to i always uh turned to my roommate uh danny and i'm always like i could fucking do that dude i've been skiing a grand total of like 20 times in my entire life i could fucking do that i the the one time you just you just go go down the hill that's what I always tell Danny. It's like, you just go down the hill, dude. That's all you do. First and last time I went skiing,

I was struggling with the green bunny hills and I was taking some hits and I was just like, I'm the world's worst skier, but I could fucking do it. Anyways. All right. Let's get back to son-in-law Brandon to talk about some fucking highlights. So they do also do a really great job i thought of the family's

reaction when they landed at the college and how they were all fighting after two straight days on the road and like oh that was all four of them drove out out to la in that that tiny little truck that would be the fucking worst and maybe I also related to this movie so much because it was kind of our family dynamic too. Right. Like big Mike, mama D Heidi as the older sister. And then me as the snarky little brother.

It was a little pervert going through everybody's. I wasn't a little pervert, but like, you know, it was a snarky little, I was nice, but like, you know,

I had my moments. I had a real rough temper. One thing I want to talk about is her... It's attached to her house, but she has that weird little lighthouse tower shit. Coolest fucking room ever.

What the fuck was that? It was just probably an addition. A lot of old old farmhouses and stuff you have to do things like like that right because they need to just make the most out of their space and so like they'll just do like a nice little add-on and that was that was the coolest fucking thing coolest room ever i agree probably get a little cold in the winter you don't get a little space heater out there, you could tell she didn't like sleep in it. That was just like a, it was like a playroom for her or whatever.

Oh, really? Yeah. It wasn't her bedroom. Oh, was it? No, no. It was just like, it was like a, it was like a, it was like a, what I first thought it was, was like a tree house, but then I realized it was like a, yeah, but yeah, it was like a playroom.

It wasn't a, um, a bedroom. Yeah. All right. Can we talk about that? Yeah. Well, but speaking of that would get super cold And then they kept talking about sleeping in the barn In the middle of November

In South Dakota The fuck are we doing dude I know that we can just call that out really quick The they just You can't Shoot a movie in South small town South Dakota In November because everyone's gonna be in

coveralls and like stuff like probably not even stocking hats like i'm gonna call face masks i'm gonna call bullshit on that because you know what movie filmed in the middle of winter in minneapolis mighty ducks yeah but they were all bundled up and stuff they would have been like joshua jackson went on record about how terrible it was shooting them in the snow. Well, and they wouldn't have been able to do all the farm tasks and stuff. It would have been a much

different version of doing all that stuff. So why put it during Thanksgiving then? Well, because they needed a reason for her to i mean they should have came back or spring break though yeah yeah would it but that would have made a lot more sense for her to come back at spring break with all those changes to like happen over time not

just like two months yeah you know but you know that's neither here nor there brandon don't don't so but when they arrive that first moment when he's like oh let me go grab a screwdriver and we first get introduced to paulie shore's character and he comes swinging down he's like oh i need a screwdriver and he's like oh sorry i'm all out of vodka oh my name's kral. Don't leave me hanging. That's great. I am a carnivore and I smell fresh meat. Some of the stuff in this dorm is inappropriate.

He has like three or four different lines where he's talking about new women right undiscovered country discovered country yeah fresh meat there was one other thing he says about one of them uh i don't know and then he always talks about their cones yeah oh i love that too that's i feel like that was like super 90s to like not call things what they were you would have like clever clever you know things that were that just sounded so much grosser than just actually saying the word like when he calls everybody when he calls girls nuggets baby fresh nugs that that was the other one where it was baby fresh nugs. Yikes. That whole college scene was real dicey.

His costume at the Halloween party is the Chiquita Banana Lady. Fantastic. Absolutely cool. I really fucking need to do that as my Halloween costume one year because that was so good. The Steven Tyler PJs?

Steven Tyler PJs. Steven Tyler. Oh, I didn't know. I absolutely love that too, but my favorite part of the Halloween, besides it moves the plot line along, but when we see the dude from Encino Man, we see Link there from

Encino Man, and he tries to snack on the frog. Brendan Frazier. Yeah. That, so that was, so I forgot when talking about the cast, I forgot to talk about some of the extras or like the people that are in the background that aren't main characters.

You had Brendan Frazier. Yeah. Reprising link. Yeah. Awesome. You had flea from the red, hot chili peppers. Yes.

That's it. Oh, that's it. That was coming up. Is it right after he, she starts to mingle and i love that paulie shore thinks that flea is the weirdest fucking thing he's ever seen did you like what he said about tattoos too my mom would jump on that like the ink sets into his

skin and it fucks up his brain waves and my mom would be like did you hear that? hate my cop? I ain't that's why you don't get tattoos who needs a pat that's fantastic little mama D for the crowd and then oh Adam Goldberg

that was the other weird cameo that I noticed he plays one of the college kids it's duringo that i noticed he he plays the it was is he plays one of the college kids it's during the holiday party i think he's the the one that's incredibly offensively dressed as an indian that like she's like walking down the hall in her normal clothes and he runs up to her and he's like oh i know what you are you're the laundry wench from the midwest or some shit like that yeah yeah the he's uh the one of

the nerd kids from dazed and confused yeah yeah he's a yeah adam goldberg he's in a bunch of shit um yeah yeah that's uh that's but yeah the so halloween party is going she's she's ready to go home brandon but this is where and then pauliely Shore is like, no, you got to mingle. And so they do a whole nineties Venice beach. I was just out at Venice beach last summer. It's not bad. I mean, it's, it's nowhere. I mean, Venice beach in the nineties was like pretty much pretty much now it's, it's, it's in, it's in rough shape now. It's that, I mean, there's certain pockets that are still like real nice,

but otherwise it's just like tourist trap. Yep. Surrounded by homeless people. Yeah. That's, that's basically what it is right now. That's, but like,

oh, and then the butterfly tattoo with flea, right? Like that was the super nineties, but then, yeah. And so she's, she's mingling the mud wrestling scene with brawling bunny thumper. That was just, that was them mingling the mud wrestling scene with Brawlin' Bunny Thumper.

That was just the weird. That was them mingling. She sets Crawl up. He takes her out in L.A. to mingle, and he takes her to mud wrestling. Yeah, absolutely. That makes perfect sense. What's more L.A. than mud wrestling, bro? Oh, man.

I love it. They're on the beach. Oh oh they're talking about the cones yeah she's like his cones are bigger than mine yeah that's when they're drinking uh coors light and he's only he sees the he sees the girl uh in the bikini and he's like i'm gonna marry her gimme gimme gimme or something like that yeah oh my gosh it's he has fucking binoculars on the beach to check people just unreal uh i also love that his mom is a pit boss in las vegas that's like a perfect background for crawl um so then since since he can't go back to Vegas for Thanksgiving, my other favorite part is when they land on the tarmac. I'm assuming they flew into like Sioux Falls or maybe Vermilion just because it was really, really small.

And since they had to meet him on the tarmac and um she comes out they filmed it it was filmed at wasco uh wasco airport or whatever which is a it's a tiny like you can see the sign in the background they didn't do a very good job of editing that out but it's it's a tiny town in california oh nice but anyways yeah she comes back and that outfit she is wearing is every Midwestern mother's nightmare when they send someone off to college in California. I just that was like when that happened. And I was like, oh, and that happens all the time where like, you know, people go out to college and the town and then they come back for Christmas. And you're like, whoa, city sure hit that one. Didn't you?

You said you stayed in town for college, right? Well, I went to Fremont, which was like an hour away, tops. And that didn't really count, just for a couple of years. And it just got too expensive. And so I was like, fuck it. I'm going to go back to Wayne America. School's easy. Got some academic scholarships.

Go Wildcats. Go Wildcats. Go Wildcats. Honestly, if you need a nice state school that is not going to challenge you super hard, Wayne State's for you. If you want a real easy way through college, I got the school for you.

Wayne State will accommodate that for you. I don't know how i made it through but i graduated with academic honors and i don't remember school mostly yeah i'm gonna tell my i went to the metropolitan state university of denver so i know exactly what you're talking about yeah i love love that just state schools man if you don't know what the fuck you're doing with your life just go to a state school yeah it'll save you in the long run i paid my student loans off without a ton of trouble yeah that's what that lane smith was telling that to uh to rebecca too yep he's like just go to state what's wrong what's wrong with state bro that's that's what i was saying you know what lane nothing's

wrong with state no she should have stayed home and state she got she could have been a she could have been a goddamn jackrabbit you know what we You know what we didn't talk about yet that we need to, which is my favorite wrinkle for Lane Smith, is how he kept getting Kroll's name wrong. Oh, he kept calling him Crotch. Crotch, Crap, Cram. Just like every version of Kroll. I got a real kick out of that.

But then when she comes out and she howls at him she's like family what's up buddies check out my weasel wear so that's every midwestern mother's nightmare right there brandon that's all i could think of i love that she called it weasel wear because there's with with all of these movies that paulie shore is in even once that he's in after this not like the five that you mentioned so paulie like a real nickname for paulie shore is the weasel the we easel and that gets worked in to every fucking movie he's in the the weasel somebody calls him a weasel or they you know i it's so weird huh it's just oh i love i absolutely love it and then when paul like uh when paulie short comes out the first thing he does is start

pinching tra uh puffy cheeks dude he calls them puffy cheeks all the time oh chill puffy cheeks chill what about old nick walter had a farm and on that farm, he had a son with squishy puppy cheeks. Oh man, that's some good shit. And then he introduces himself to Walter on the tarmac. It's like, remember me right after you left, I popped your daughter's trunk. Oh man, the fucking stones there.

And then one of my favorite parts too but this is another part that big mike always had to call out is when they're driving back from the airport and he crushes that a rendition of green acres and he's like south dakota north dakota east dakota west South Dakota, North Dakota, East Dakota, West Dakota. Green Acres is the place to be. But they are flying down a gravel road, one rogue pothole, and Pauly Shore is fucking dead. Not to mention it's the middle of November in South Dakota, and he's out there with no coat on. I think we can all just surmise that they they fucked up the whole Timing piece and it's Summer in South Dakota It just that should have been

Either spring break or summer break But instead we get it as an All-time classic Thanksgiving movie It's not All-time Classic Thanksgiving movie Oh wait My other last favorite part of,

it's the final kind of part of his intro, is when he has one of them hold the camera, and he's like, middle America, ripping the fields, getting barrel, pipeline. Oh, oh, oh, my God. And then he freaks out over the chickens. Chickens. So you guys got chickens? Are they extra crispy or original recipe?

See you are just backing me up With how fucking hilarious this movie is And then he's like There's some hilarious parts in it But it's one of those things In the 90s that they did so much Where they found especially with all like the snl people and everything where they found one joke that worked or one like bit that worked and then they made it into a 90-minute movie and it's it doesn't need to be a 90-minute movie guys night at the roxbury ladies man keep it to a five

minute sketch we're good whatever the whatever the one with Will Ferrell and that other superstar. Yeah. Yeah. All those movies. Oh man. But that's, but this is where we get introduced to him munching on some grindage. And I love the first interaction between him and Zach in the room where he's like spectacular quarters.

Me matey. And Zach is instantly just like we got one rule don't touch anything oh man I love it when they become best friends after he's like you're just a hacker

disguised as an idiot Zach had some great one liners in like his sign forbecca he's like go home rebecca oh man it's a great stuff patrick patrick yeah him and uh paulie shore that dynamic was the best part of the movie for sure oh and then when he goes and gets the rustic wear and we're reintroduced to tiffany amber thesen and he's doing the assless chaps and he doesn't have any pants under him did you catch what he called him he has and he's doing the assless chaps and he doesn't have any pants under him did you catch what he called him he has a nickname for him i forget what he called

them i wrote it down no a whole close cheek chillers yes that's it cheek chillers oh man that's what he pulled they pull up to the store and he's like in breeders yeah and did you catch the lady pull her daughter away and she's like get away from them and she's like inbreeders did you catch the lady pull her daughter away and she's like get away from them and she's like mingling like I said every fucking Midwest mother's nightmare bringing a guy home

like that man oh it's so good all right and then they go to the dinner and crawl is in the fucking most insane cowboy outfit ever yeah and like everyone on the family is trying not to not to laugh and her fucking poor dad is like traumatized they're at the country club yeah yeah so it's like everybody in town is there. Oh, real people down home cooking people. And then you get fucking Travis.

Travis is a fucking piece of shit. Dickhead townie. You know, like his public proposals. We've talked about this before about public proposals. Same, same. You're just like like if you ask someone to marry you in public i hope they fucking say no yeah that's a private moment and don't put that that kind of pressure on someone to start the relationship dude yeah that well that's that's

my biggest issue is the the pressure like it's one thing and again we've talked about this before so this is rehashing but yeah no nobody listened to that episode right nobody let's talk percentages 50 of all divorces began with a pressure-filled public proposal but like mark it down yeah but the public proposal is it's it's it's fine if you have talked about it before, but to spring a public proposal on your partner is the worst thing you can do. Let's also talk about the fact that – I would rather you cheat on me than spring a public proposal on me. Freshman in college? Long distance?

Oh, yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, the long distance. That's trouble. I have that written. It's like one of the first notes I wrote, though. like dude long distance never works bro and i so i love especially especially because they like planned it out there are like three months i'll come back and then when i cut when i graduate i'll come back and then we'll get married and everything will be that's way too long of a plan what's what's the rule works what's the rule

you can't never make plans longer than you that are farther away than you've been together right that's the rule sure like if that's a good rule if you've been dating for two months you can only plan in advance two months i don't know how long they were dating probably probably four years at least right they seem like you know yeah going way back yeah but but as we find out he's been fucking banging tracy for god knows how long yeah the whole time you know so i don't know why he's the whole time the whole time she's gone for sure yeah um it's no they implied it even like their graduation okay seemed like they were canoodling a little bit but and also he didn't even kneel in his proposal supposed to be salt of the earth midwesterner didn't even kneel what a fucking piece of work travis was well he didn't even kneel in his proposal. Supposed to be salt of the earth Midwesterner didn't even kneel.

What a fucking piece of work Travis was. In Travis's defense, he did try to first propose. Oh yeah, in the barn. After he stepped in the huge cow pie. Oh, and it just ate up his whole shoe. That's hilarious.

Oh man, that was great. He did try a non-public proposal first and she faked a uh a fucking uh a dizzy attack or whatever yeah and i my favorite is that crawl jumps up and it's like sorry you're too late i love that that's his go-to is now we're we're already engaged and so all of this leads to some more of our favorite moments that we've already kind of discussed a little bit but to you know so her dad is super pissed that crawl proposed proposed and corners him it's like how are you going to support my fucking daughter and he's like i'll be a farmer join the family business and so he puts him through his paces And to kick off Kroll's farming Is one of my favorite scenes

Again Theo takes him to the manure pile And Kroll goes He just throws him in there Mmm steamy like a jacuzzi Just like the fake spit Oh my god that cracked me up Theo just shoves him right in the manure pile Dude and like they have pigs too pigs fucking stink

and like pig farmers like it's hard for them to get that smell off their clothes like they have a they have a lingering kind of you know musk and it's fucking pig farm and it's it's unfortunate if you grow up farming pig not to Not to besmirch pig farmers. Great, hardworking people, but you just, you know, they kind of sting. It's not their fault. Pigs sting. Anyways. Same with cow farmers, though.

Like the small town, like up north from where I grew up. Loveland? Yeah, well, that area, but specifically Greeley. Greeley is not a small town anymore because they've expanded the university there, so they're growing. But that place is like

that's where are all the cattle farmers in Colorado. Not all of them, but the huge chunk of that town is cattle farmers. And you can like, you get within, you know, 10 miles of it, is cattle farmers and you can like you you get within you know 10 miles of it you can fucking smell it yeah the you get the uh the wrong wrong wind on a swift but like let's say when when they're spreading manure on the fields like in the spring and stuff um you get the you get a stiff breeze coming from there And the whole fucking town stinks For the morning it sucks But you know it happens sometimes

You know what else stinks is chicken plants There's a chicken plant by Wakefield Another really small town Tyson chicken plants I don't know why I still fucking Eat chicken I know what they do to chickens In those plants and it's Unsettling

Especially Tyson Yeah it's rough it's unsettling yeah especially especially tyson tyson's uh yeah it's rough yeah tyson and what's what's the other terrible one purdue right purdue purdue i only know tyson you know i think it was right there had to drive through wakefield and smell it all the time but anyways all right so we can we already talked a lot about like this the oh we for the the one one part of him being a farmhand that we haven't talked about yet is when he goes to milk the cow. Oh, yeah.

That was another scene that Big Mike would just lose his mind. But first, he would correct him and be like, listen, he's sitting behind the cow when you milk it. Oh, that is asking for trouble, Brandon. That's how you get kicked in the head and you milk it oh that is asking for trouble brandon that's how you get kicked in the head and you fucking die like legit like that was oh man that's a brain dead moment even by the casting you cannot milk a cow from behind there you're asking for some real fucking trouble dude like that yeah getting kicked in the head by a cow it'll kill you oh absolutely but it still cracked me up when he pulls on the

other don't pull on that one they're going zach comes back to teach him how to do it and he's like don't pull on that one that's the wrong button oh man this is just this is that's why i love this movie so much right because it reminds me of watching this with my dad and him like correcting all the farm shit oh man that was that was the one last thing that i had to mention about the farming was when he oh and then he's like and he comes in for lunch he's like down home don't worry you guys gonna get my farm going on soon but anyways all right the combine scene once again very oh billy ray cyrus eat your Heart out that was another great line From the combine scene so

When he comes in for lunch after the First day after he's been just Fucking put through the ringer right and Lane Smith is expecting him to quit And throw in the towel yeah He probably sure has a good line he goes He goes oh no I'm getting back Out there I'm gonna do this I

Got a love for him and I haven't found my groove yet Oh man and then We have to Let's transition to the barn dance And just right before the barn dance When he like Dude With her mom the scene with her mom

This is like I was talking about there's so much Odd sexual conversation He walks in on her mom the scene with her mom this is like i was talking about there's so much odd sexual conversation he he walks in on her in the bathroom and he tells her i'm sorry i thought you were rebecca you gave me a semi yeah it gave me a semi semi yeah did you did you hear what her response to that was no oh thank you oh yeah your fucking response That is not why That should not be your response What a compliment We'll just kind of skip That was insane dude

That was in fucking scene That and then I loved when That's to skip ahead a little bit But after the barn dance when uh when lane smith and uh cindy pickett are uh you know they're getting their they got the groove back whatever yeah and then gets to their bedroom and he's pushing the two beds together because they have two separate beds loved it yeah that was oh man that was so good and we he literally turns to rebecca and he goes did you see the wood i created for your dad

that's so fucking good all right speaking of the barn dance can i are you gonna let me do the crawl line dance go for it go for it are you are you are you sure can i do this can i rip into it you can you can cut me off if it gets to be too much okay all right so just for the set it up for the listeners they're in this barn dance and they're doing a line dance and it's getting called by this guy and he's dancing to boot scooting boogie dancing to boot scooting boogie and and the guy goes and takes a break and so crawl decides hey let me jump up here and start djing this is where i thought i was going he doesn't even take a break he he got off the stage to grab a drink and come right back on and paul paul sure like saw the two seconds of him being off and was like here's my opportunity yeah this is this is my inspiration

for starting a podcast this moment in time when i was eight year old heath was like damn i need to be on the mic after seeing this so as paulie shore grabs the mic as crawl grabs the mic he says now grab a nug whose cones are busty weezer gig and make her crusty what's what's we is that like a dance a weezer gig i'm assuming right like a dance well if you're wheezing her gig and making her crusty i don't know oh it's wheeze her gig yeah oh okay i thought it was like weezer gig no weez her gig and make it crusty okay that makes more sense then very inappropriate all right now now grab your dude and don't use roughness moving close and groove is buffness buff the wood buff the wood buff the wood that is the best best moment moment in the whole show.

Watching those old ladies buff wood was not what I was. I was not ready for it. That was classic. And then they started just grooving a little bit. And so the guy's trying to take the mic back, trying to take the mic back. And he's like, no, they love it. They love it. Let me hit it.

And so he says, if your gal is finger licking, come on now and do the funky chicken. And then he gets some crowd interaction with some buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck. But he's like doing like a, you know, man, more good stuff to, to close it out. And he says, now spin together. If your nuggets will and shake your booty then start chill and say chill and then the crowd that's more crowd interaction and then he jumps into

crowd surf it's a beautiful moment and then he turns to the original guy and he's like hey come on cut loose go jump in there and then no one catches the old dude when he tries yeah what a fucking what way to fucking leave him hanging man real pieces of work oh man but thank you for letting me do that because that is definitely

one of the best moments move in close and groove his buffness buff the wood dude buff that wood dude buff that wood chow that box you know Just grab your dude and don't use roughness. Like the first line of it, too. I know we broke it down already, but it's just, now grab a nug whose cones are busty, wheeze her gig and make her crusty. How is that in a movie how did i see this as a small child yeah dude 93 i didn't understand any of it that's not even the

worst that's not even the most egregious part of the movie oh no that's like small small potatoes but oh man that was just that's another really really great moment and yeah not even the worst because after this after when when he we we get the bachelor party yeah the and they fucking slip them date rape drugs oh my gosh i was gonna say like wow they just really just just went for it just went for it just Just right out there. Like, yeah. And like, I don't know. That's just,

I am. Yeah. We won't talk about that, but that bachelor party was some kicking off with karaoke, just chugging beers. And they had Theo called him city. It's like, one thing I like about you city,

you sure can't drink a beer. And he's like, and, and Pauly short tries to tell him like, no, you need to get a bong for it. Do you like that? It's like, no, you need to get a beer and he's like and and paulie shore tries to tell him like no you need to get a bong for it do you like that it's like no you need to get a beer bong he's been in college for six years of course he can drink oh that was that was another great line when she rebecca asked him how long he's been there and he's like i've been here for six years i've majored in almost

everything yeah and did you hear some of the... That was a fun wrinkle to it. Some of the really crazy shit he majored in for like a semester. It was like Taekwondo was one of them or something like that. What else was it? It was... There was quite a few that he threw in there.

I can't remember them off the top of my head, but yeah. But then Kelly Kapowski comes in as a stripper for the bachelor party was she supposed to be a stripper yeah okay because it she was supposed to be a stripper but it got shut down early because they slipped crawl the date rape drug and they slipped crawl and kelly kapowski the day well they did crawl first and then he passed out and then after she got done dancing they were like no chug the beer chug the beer and then they they threw them both in the barn together and the next morning at thanksgiving dinner theo says he heard a lot of huffing and puffing coming from the barn

and that's where rebecca walks in and sees there there they are you know and they're and they're undies canoodling canoodle what they think is canoodling but we've wait hold on did you like this when she kicks crawl out of the house, no one gives him a ride. He is hitchhiking with a cardboard sign. Why would anybody give him a ride? Oh my gosh. I just thought I was like, geez,

at least give the poor guy a ride into town. He just cheated on your daughter. You're going to give him a ride into town. Someone make Theo, give him a ride into town on Thanksgiving. You're just going to make him fucking hitch into town on thanksgiving you're just gonna make him fucking hitchhike on his way home to that's it's absurd but but anyways tiffany amber thesen he cheated on your daughter in your barn he's uh i mean i get it but like i don't know

it's it's fine but long story short tiffany amber Amber Thiessen realizes, oh, my gosh, my seat is way back. I obviously didn't drive this car last night. Finds the drugs that they drugged them with. And so she picks up Kral and they come rushing back to Thanksgiving because this is a Thanksgiving movie, Brandon. Do we need to talk about where they tried to make him catch the Turkey and it died and then they pulled the feathers in the Turkey ran away. No, that sums it up.

Yeah. Okay. That pretty much sums that up. So end of the movie, we can kind of wrap this up because it's, it's two of my favorite lines are at this end of the movie and fucking Travis tries to propose again yeah right after she breaks up because he cheated on her the next day he tries to propose again what a fucking clown that no time

to lose bro i guess um but then at the end of the thanksgiving they come and it's the big reveal so they kick travis out they kick theo out theo fired. So they're all out of there. And then Lane Smith finally gets his name, right? He says, crawl. But before that, they all get kicked out. We have my favorite line where Walter Warner senior says, Travis, it really tweaks my melon to see a buff bro like Crawl here get wheezed on by a greasy scumbag like you. So just chill. So that brings up a great line, but that brings up more questions about the song. So the song goes, wheeze her gig and then walter warner senior he his line is i hate to see

a buff bro like crawl get wheezed on by you so what what is like a squeeze like like he's squeezing um you know and then and when you're wheezing a girl, maybe you're hugging her close. You're squeezing her gig. What's her gig? Is that the G spot? I think that was left to be assumed. Brandon. Good God. All right. We can start wrapping this bad boy.

I'm trying to decipher the hidden meanings here listen as soon as you start deciphering these insane hidden meanings you're just you're setting yourself up for nothing but trouble hold on did you see the tagline too for this movie it's just he's a relative nightmare yeah that's pretty solid though that's a great tagline. And then it all ends and our boy, Lane Smith, closes us out with a gem and he says, Now it's time to bunch on some grindage. A quick message from our friends at Broken Forest Collective.

south dakota to experience some good old family fun right and he gets here and what does he find heath a dysfunctional family right yeah and you know what he says he goes crawl you know what we need to do we need to knit this family back together and that's what he says? He goes, Kroll, you know what we need to do? We need to knit this family back together. And that's what he does. That's what he does. Him and Kroll together. He is Kroll. Well, whatever. It's fine. Pauly Shore and Kroll

together. They work together. He's a hero, Brandon. He knits his family back together. He gives Cindy Pickett, Connie, he gives the mom her newfound confidence, which, you know, helps the sexual

healing between her and Walter. He rejuvenated a dying relationship. Exactly. And then he came in and he was able to bridge the gap between Zach and Walter, you know, because he's like a little less creepy to a little less creepy too a little less creepy and then uh and then he's able to give rebecca you know the the the solid

footing to where she can finally say goodbye to travis you know get rid of that fucking dead weight town and then he exposes theo as the prick that he he always has been you know yep yep real piece of work if he would have been nice and helped him, maybe, you know, Kral would have picked up the farming a little bit sooner. Wouldn't have caused all that damage. Exactly. Running the tractor through the fence.

Exactly. Knitting families back together. What a hero. What a fantastic Thanksgiving moral. Pauly Shore in a real coming of age heroic story son-in-law about family bonds yeah this movie yeah this is a movie about family about honor so you're walking back on your sexual healing i don't know where i'm going i'm not no it's still i'm not walking back it's it's not a good movie guys It's still not a good you're you're walking

back on your previous statements and you're saying that not only is this a good movie, but it's a good family friendly movie. It's not family friendly. He talks about wheezy energy spot Keith multiple times. Listen, Brandon, it really tweaks my melon to see

a buff bro like crawl here get wheezed on by a greasy scumbag like you so why don't you just chill just chill puffy cheeks chill it's i i'm not walking back though it's not it's not a good movie it has a few uh uh funny spots but it is it is not i would not recommend anybody well i wouldn't all right so since we're at recommendations let's talk rating rating wrap it up here we are the end of son-in-law out of five cakes what are you what are you sticking son-in-law with out of five cakes, Brandon? Out of five cakes, five delicious moist cakes. I'm going to go with probably.

I'm going to hit it with a, with a 2.2. 2.2. 2.2. Wow. That is preposterous. Just slightly less than 50%. That's a shit rating. It's not a good movie.

Oh, it is. I loved every second of watching this. Like, every second that I was watching this movie for this podcast was a great second in my life the only reason i enjoyed this movie a little bit was because of the the ridiculous people that are in this movie and the stuff that they've said is fucking absurd and awesome yeah if if you replace patrick marina with anybody else this doesn't work if you replace carla gu Moreno with anybody else, this doesn't work. If you replace Carla Gugino with anybody else, it doesn't work. It just, you know, it was perfect. It was perfect.

So you said perfectly cast. Very well done. I will say, other than, yeah, I'll say perfectly cast. I'll say perfectly cast. Literally. But that's it. That's the only saving grace. Only downfall of this movie is that the Thanksgiving South Dakota just doesn't timeline doesn't add up. That's the only negative.

It's the only nitpick. The only nitpick. Only nitpick that you can give this movie. So I after saying that, I give it 4.1 cakes out of five. You give it a 4.1? Are you fucking serious? I love this movie, Brandon. 4.1?

I'm heading back. That's insane. 4.1? That is insane. Technically, it's low if you're looking at Amazon star ratings. I don't know if you want to go off of that, though. I saw nothing but endless five-star reviews. And then one grumpy old dude pissed off that he had to buy it for his kid.

And now he's got his fucking kid saying, you know, Pauly Shore wheezing in the gig. Munching on some grinded. I'm telling you, I'm going back to Nebraska In April for a visit And Heidi and I are going to watch this We're going to have some brother sister Movie night and just you know Just hang out maybe play some pool In the basement with Big Mike and throw son-in-law

I was curious about The reviews Because you mentioned Amazon It had what did I say It had on IMDB it was like I was curious about the reviews because you mentioned Amazon. It had what? What did I say it had on IMDb? It was like five out of ten. 5.9 out of ten.

So I clicked on the user reviews there, and there's one of the ten star ones caught my eye. The title of the review is, oh, Pauly. And then the review says, Pauly Shaw would have to be one of the most underrated actor in the world. Nice. But he said Pauly Shaw. He doesn't even get the guy's name right. Pauly Shaw. Seems legit. And isn't Pauly spelled?

He spells Pauly P-A-U-L-I-E. Isn't it just P-A-U-L-I-E. Isn't it just P-A-U-L-I-E? No, it's just Y. Yep. So he spelled both his first and his last name wrong. Great review there, bud. Yeah, exactly. 10 star review from this guy too. So anyways, 4.1 cakes out of five.

You heard it here first. Go do yourselves a favor if you don't want to buy it for $17. Go for it. Dude, this movie from beginning to end had no negatives.

Let me read back because I got them right here. Let me read back some of your reviews. Some of your ratings here. So you're giving Son-in-Law 4.1. 4.1, easy. Do you remember what you gave Breakfast Club? No. A 3.95.

Oh, nice. That's about right. That's about right. You're saying Son-in-Law is better than Breakfast Club. Wait, hold on. Didn't we just talk about how I have trash movie opinions? Yes. Because I love terrible movies and

hate really good movies like you know just like this is same thing with ferris bueller's day off right like just some really really good movies i'm not a big fan of some really really bad movies i love yeah we remember how much you loved buddy games too to not talk i was actually thinking about that this weekend too about like like literally i was like man at least i like the movie that we're watching for this one it's not some fucking dog shit sandwich of a movie like buddy games it's not that far no way this this movie is so much better than buddy games although i will say it's just so rift with nostalgia for me that like, it just,

that's it's completely. Yeah. It's probably a one and a half cake rating boost for me because it just reminds me of my childhood so much. And I just remember this movie so fondly and watching it all that it was on all the time. You know, it's like,

I just like drop dead Fred. I love drop dead Fred. It was on all the time. It's like Drop Dead Fred. I love Drop Dead Fred. It's an amazing movie, but it's not that good. But I will tell it. That's a batshit crazy movie. It's so funny. I enjoyed Drop Dead Fred, though.
