The best thing is, I might be on say. The best thing about that joke is that Stuart just invented a whole new thing that Elliot doesn't- Then I wish I did too.

To get- But out of monster costume and invite the pizza man to deliver a pizza. Yeah. If he dares. Yeah, you guys are going to be joining. And then you scare him and he drops his pizza and runs away And you don't have to pay and that's how you get a free pizza. Yeah, that's the only way put that put that in your books guys Free ladies

Uh-, we technically it's 66.6 repeating. Oh God. I was always bad at the percent. You know, math class. Yeah. I'm pretty good at them. It's a part of

math and I'm good. I'm not good at other math. Okay. What about the plusing and the minusing? Yeah, no, it's big. It's not that we can do. Yeah, you're basics. Your plus minus times divide those I can handle. What about your I was thinking more like calculus I'm not so good at what about your reading and your writing I'm well I enjoy reading and I am a professional writer So I'm at least good enough to make it Well, I'm a man. Well since I'm a member of the writers guild of America east Well, I remember the writers guild of America East and I remember the writers Guild of America East That doesn't make me a professional writer to shake

To shake sir. Is that like one of those those world of warcraft guilds? I wish we don't get leather aprons. We don't get anvils. We don't get to fight orcs. Do you get experience points? Yes Okay I mean in a short answer I suppose. Yeah, it's called Experience points. No, well that's just what I said. Oh was it so the moral is Stewards getting married Yes, so she was getting married starring in half the way. I'll eat best friend

Since yeah since high school Best friend. Yup, since high school. Buzzam pals. What was it like when you guys were dating? Never happened. So, uh, okay. That's the one she dated. She dated a guy in my art class.

Yeah, okay. Was he good at art? I don't remember. Mm-hmm. I almost said it. What a boring anecdote. It's always. Well, I didn't bring you the subject of originally

So what are we what do we do? Oh, this is a podcast about watching bed now that most of the women who listen to this podcast have committed Suicide now that they know that steward is no longer available like the women who killed themselves when Jack and Jan Had a love interest in one of his early films and thus he never had a love interest ever again. Yeah, that's a fact Do you think that awesome take that to the take that to your Jackie Chan no more than the next door ninja or whatever it was called Next door ninja would have been a better. I agree Now that that's over with We can talk about the movie I watch the movie movie called Old Dogs. And it's not a film about expired hot dogs or a documentary about a pet cemetery that would be Gates of Heaven, the

Arrow Morris film. It's a... I was kind of hoping it was a movie where you had dogs who computers like made their lips move and then they talked with like celebrities releases. Well you would love a little film called Cats and Dogs, the revenge of Pussy G allure. Okay, it's crazy. Kitty G allure is the original that is sure to racy. But Kitty is okay for kids to hear because it merely hints at the word pussy which kids of course cannot know just as the slogan for the smurf movie is smurf happens uh... which hints at the phrase shit happens but kids don't need to know that

so yeah but kids know a lot about smurfs right uh... today's kids probably don't know anything about smurfs well you have the book everybody smurfs so that's right like all kids have that. Yeah, the government hands it out. For sure, it's like they convert our box to a lot. It's stockpiled in hospitals.

For when babies are born. Well, face it, at some point you're going to have to teach your children about smurfs. This has just been a tremendous amount of nonsense. So, it's time to decide. Well, let's talk about old dogs. Maybe the worst thing ever in history, not even movies outside of the movie category. Yeah, nice. It's crossed a lot of boundaries.

Yeah, a lot. I felt, I, I, usually after seeing a bad movie, don't feel molested, but I do after having watched this one. Sure. You feel like a gorilla, maybe raped you. I feel like I happened to Seth Green in the end of this film. As it's implied, yes, we'll happen to Seth Green. Normally, when you would say something about being feeling molested, I would have made like a witty joke. There would have been hilarious, right?

Like totally hilarious. Yeah. But this movie's sapted all out of me. It's, yeah. I can't even laugh about molestation. Yeah, this is a man who just got engaged people and all of the joy has left his face. Yep, and he's a shell of a man. Yeah, his soul has been torn in two as if absorbed by what was that sword that I'll

recuse? With its ebond blade. Yeah, it's something like that uh... fuck let me go read my Michael Morco this is a movie about two uh... high power high power to sports are they sports agents sports agents

because i mean like and stormbringer Kelly stormbringer stormbringer thank you they are so impressed in his in this film by the way it was also in Jerry McGuire just to point up like to make you hate the fact that sports agents even more Well, they're almost there sports agents who work mostly in marketing It seems like they're in sports marketing and they're two and that green follows them around everywhere too Yeah, well their friends they've been friends since they were kids junta vault and robin Williams Now they are two old dogs

old dogs we find out their friends for a while title sequence shows photoshopped pictures of the two of them as young men just like you know yeah and where it looks like they took a photograph of two human beings someone cut out pictures of john drivolta and robin's faces and then pasted the mon yeah over it and then pasted them on

over it and then they shot that. Like, you know, like stills from like, Mork and Welcome Back Cotter, they put on there. Yeah. That was a show, like a crossover show. No, I'm talking about the show's Mork and Mendy. Welcome back Morker. Welcome back Morker. It was the crossover show.

Yeah. So, that's, that's an odd choice. back was the crossover show uh... so that's sounds that's an odd choice i mean low and behold the codders not even in it well i'm the whole kelly christian show back up well we we uh... we find out robin Williams is the straight-laced one

and uh... john drival to is the wild man who is also a ladies man a wild hog a wild hog they're playing against type in that Robin Williams, as we all know, is manic in real life. And John Travolta is possibly gay in real life. So they're playing against type. It's like Ishtar. Except not as successful. OK.

And I guess Robin Williams has some kids that he didn't know about. Well, okay, let me tell you the story of all dogs. Let me tell you the tale. Let me spin you a tale. Yeah, we'll be more entertaining and shorter than the film we want. My hope shorter, because it's an 87 minute film.

Yeah. And I don't think I should tell it in that sort of detail. I tell it in real time. Okay, we open on New York City. Inside and out. In the office. Smash got to. sort of detail. I tell it real time. Okay, we open on New York City. Inside in August. Smash got to. Okay, the earth is a boiling mass. What right now? We have to get to the space arc. So the two of them are high powered sports marketing agents of some type.

They're about to do a big deal with a Japanese company that does something. We're never quite sure what that is what they did what that yes so what they basically do is japanese business like it's it's a throwback to the eighties when japanese business and all the rage uh... and john drivald tells a story about how when rob Williams was reeling from his first divorce he tricked him into going down to Miami for a wild bachelor weekend.

We're in. He got drunk and got married to Kelly Preston and then got a tattoo that was supposed to say free man on his on his chest, but it came out saying free month. And that's a running running gag in the film. The weird thing about it is that just the size of the tattoo, it would have taken multiple visits. I mean, there's no way one drunken night he could have gotten that entire thing, then like ran around with it exposed. I mean, it got infected. They could have had gone, been on like an, like an 84 hour bender, where they kept going back to the tattoo. Like a, like a fear of the lowly type of bad choice over and over again. But like a, like a groundhog day. And the Japanese businessmen are being interpreted by Lori Laughlin of TV's Full House, who is doing speaking Japanese.

But this radio is full house. The original that ran from 1941 to 1952. You are like an encyclopedia of fake radio knowledge. It turns out that, uh, Romuliams secretly got in touch with the woman that he was married to for a day in Miami. She has come back out of nowhere and brought with her two adorable seven-year-old moppets who are his children.

She is, she is, uh, going to jail. I'm trying to remember the nonsense plot. She is going to see him because she's about to go to jail the next day. Yeah, she needs to have an excuse to leave him with these two children. Yeah, she is she trespassed on a she trespassed on a factory site. Now she's going to jail. They've let her leave town and go to New York. She's like an incoterist, right? Yeah, she's an inco terrorist yeah, and then go to what's that you leave Ink everywhere. No, she she's an eco terrorist, but somehow they've led her leave town even though she is going to jail within days Drop her kids off. It's kind of a bullshit thing to be

Go to prison for right? Yes, I mean well, I think it's only implied by the movie but she actually killed three people interactively applied as it never mentions that's part of my old dogs fanfic that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that. I know the close-ups in Mexico that her soul has gone. Yeah. As yours is after watching the movie. Yeah. Her, she drops her kids off.

It's like in the middle of the zoo. I'm leaving out the part where her. She's a little alert. I'm leaving out the part where her friends, the hand model, is supposed to take care of the kids, but Robin Williams slams a car trunk on her hands. Ruining them. Ruining them and her livelihood.

Which, by the the way is then never mentioned again apparently that woman's life has just been ruined cavalierly in passing I assume she died in the hospital yeah well especially because the moment of her getting her fingers smacked like the moment of her mutilation she just makes a bunch of like like Jerry Lewis style faces. Well, they played big girls don't cry really loud. They play about why she makes faces for like five minutes. There's like five minutes of facing her eyes. Your crawler long sticks out. Yeah, there's like we should just mention this.

Listen, Mrs. Tom Hanks. This is the most over acted movie in the history of the world, I think. It's certainly the most over acting movie we've watched for the flop out. Yeah, it is. Manic. The whole movie is edited as if it was a trailer. Just really fast scenes, really fast cuts. Everyone talks really fast.

Huge loud mutant pop songs everywhere. No connection from one scene to the next. No like no like. Oh okay. This scene is ending with a question that's going to be answered to the next scene. Yeah. No. The next scene is going to take off.

There's that hilarious scene where they take the accidently mix up each other's pills. Well, we'll get to that. Okay. We'll get to that. So anyway, yeah, they end the shark, unfortunately. So I guess some on a downward slant. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. We're thinking of replacing you with a new new character. Well, it's like moon lighting, like the Stuart Charlie and sexual tension was there, and it jumped the shark when you proposed to her. Yeah, like in the ex files.

Exactly. We'll also ruin your sexual tension with the two of us. That's true, right? We will never mention that again. That is not something we need to put in the minds of our listeners another time. I mean, the forbidden element of, because you guys are clear

like you're married and you're engaged like and you know I was just kind of single so that forbidden element was really hot. Yeah it was less about the sex and more about the boundaries that were being broken. Absolutely like like David Cronenberg movie or something. I don't know exactly. Yeah like video drool. It's like we're leaving the flesh behind. I don't know if know the new world of consciousness they were pulsing oozing orifices or anything like that well not yet okay talk about

anyway so roboleums has to take care of these kids john drivolta for whatever reason decides that's his job too even though they have a lot of work to do well not to land this japan deal because of the car it's because of the contrivance that that uh... means that robin lambs has to move in with john faulta which is that

robin lambs it lives in an adult only uh... you know some sort of gated community and amy cedaris and her one-scene comes out c's kids freaks out to like an alarm goes off and then smash cut to robin lambs moving in with john faulta and john Travolta just kind of has samurai swords on his apart in his apartment all over the place. Well, he's a wealthy bachelor. Goes goes without saying. Yeah. The company. And he has a way what? What are you involved? And all he is only life mate. He's only life mate is an old dog.

Hmm symbolism. Oh, I left out the part where robin Williams gets locked in a man who hasn't married his only life mate is an old dog mhm symbolism i left out the part of rob Williams gets locked in a tanning booth and sprayed with tanning lotion well please continue for for a hundred hours yeah i wish the movie at all so i think that it comes out looking like georgia molten and uh... he comes out and mysteriously disappears within they do a bit he told they they get a couple of good like pakistan and make some good that they they go to grand central station where he's going to meet kelly prestin uh... john jimaldisk convinced him he's got a tan up to look like a

man sure and he all he looks like is a man with a very fake tan but in indian man and then a hispanic woman both stop him and ask him for directions in their native languages because rob Williams looks so ethnic with the stand that's a tough scene for an actor to pull off but you know what robin Williams he's got the chops oh yeah they're making a point they're making a point about our divided society guys that we should see beyond color to the only comfortable talking to people of their own race or creed to the two-dimensional manic flat cardboard character underneath or we can all join together

and hatred of old guys. So they go through a series of hilarious adventures involving going to a miss advent. Miss advent, thank you. Uh oh. Watch out because when the old dogs are in town trouble follows. Somebody will probably get hit in the groin. Many people get hit in the groin. They will go to a camp for some reason.

They'll go to a Boy Scout type camp where there are no activities for children only for adults and people get beat up and a statue gets blown up and Matt Dillon is there. What I didn't understand was they made the decision to go to this camp really at the last minute. Where do they get uniforms? You know for the for the old dogs. I think the same place that Rob Williams later gets the king costume that he wears well casually playing tea party with his daughter and the same place that he gets the puppet machine you mean the exoskeleton he wears that allows John Dervol to control his actions yes because he doesn't know how to play yeah that's provided by famous

puppeteer blues artist Bernie Mac who appears in the movie and then disappears instantly is final by the way it's called a real horse and well situation it's called it's called uh... having an avatar yes exactly you're saying this movie was just ahead of its time a little bit yeah okay so they go to a voice-out type camp where uh they're are mistaken for gay uh hilarious in a kids movie and they put their their own I don't know why to aging confirmed bachelor's who are living together and their best friends would be they go to a rest they go to a restaurant they

go to a restaurant where they are thought to be grandparents embarrassing uh... their pills get mixed up and they go through and uh... well here's okay here's the thing Rob Williams has these two kids John Travolta is his business partner they have a huge account they have to land that involves playing golf with a Japanese CEO because again this movie was originally written I assume in 1983. Why? That's how business is done.

Because the main goal is to get the... If you guys are laying the account the businessman is going to bulldoze their family car watcher. Their community center. Yeah, that's why they have to break dance their way out of it. Why does John Travolta take the kids to his girlfriend's beach house or Lori Loughlin's beach house and I need his girlfriend and why does Robin Williams go play golf with the guy when really Robin Williams should take the kids and John Travolts should just go about his business.

Good point. One might as well ask why Seth Green tags along with every personal event too. That's true. They're assistant Seth Green who for some reason decides that he is there opair i guess i don't know one might also ask why you know somebody who's got has a pretty successful little career you know uh... being the producer of robot chicken a variety of other types of programs like he's you know he's probably get to paycheck why uh... why why all dogs it's a request you're constantly asked throughout your shows that whatever your individual opinion of them to like carry some sort of like uh...

minor credibility with like younger people and then it was like i'm going to go in with this uh... this this john fault uh... uh... robin lambs family comedy he's not the only there's constant this stream of actors that you wonder why they're in this amy cedaris louise goosebond that's that's shepard uh... i mean that's just a long also i think that's mat dillian uh...

like you just wonder why kelly breaston reader wills read a wilson's husband is tom hanks she doesn't need the money that old dogs is paying and coon hanks probably gives her a fairly good stipend. I know at this point I don't think she needs a I laugh genuinely at three Times in the movie and they're all just like stupid lines provided by Louise Goodsman

Back Shepherd and Justin Long It just the side characters and as I said during it It's like they stopped by to remind you what jokes were just to like crush your spirit more when the rest of the movie happened. Oh, we know what a funny joke is. We'll give you one. Now you can sit through 45 more minutes of this garbage.

Oh, well, what other, okay, but I forgot. So you almost forget what it's like to laugh or smile. It's like, oh, joy. It's like all joy. That's a thing. Like afterwards, I was looking at a bazooka joke comic, and I couldn't even get a stick around it. Even the turtle. Impossible.

Not even the faintest shadow of a grin. Even one with mort. Yep. Mort the dead teenager. What? Former Marvel Comics character. I was loved smearing ashes on my face in morning. yep uh... worth the dead teenager who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who who he's super hungry and his face is bizarrely twisted into a malformed smile. No, it's a smile x gas smile. It looks exactly like Batman. It looks like the original Tim Burton Batman. But why would that be in this movie? No. You say that as if you say that as if no come on

it's perfectly logical to go to a smile x gas Joker smile in old dogs. It's just exactly what it is. But it's a great to see we saw Batman. Oh just give us that. It's just exactly what it is. Like, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great that lower lawful and has taken him to that and margaret is for some reason presiding over why and margaret like it doesn't yeah uh... one of their adventures to they have uh... they they're you know they get burning they get the exoskeleton from bernie mack and uh... and uh... mulliams moves around it's a lot like face off

noted it's a it's a john javald puts on a cat like puts on a weird sensor suit and he's able to control Robin Williams. Yeah, not unlike got like Andy circus controlling golem or or being John Malfovich or Michael C Hall controlling those guys in a gamer gamer. Yeah, I can't want to call it surrogates to a different movie. But wait a minute in Sir gets you did the same thing right? Yeah, you were but you were lying prostrate on a on a bed. Oh, well, there's only a port in their head brain in their head brain. Yeah, as opposed to the knee brain. So there's that and then they said and these scenes are all about six or seven minutes long and they will buy with lots of loud music and they will

have a i would i i would say i got whiplash at least four times in this watching this movie yeah but they all seem to take much longer they feel like they take a hundred thousand years but um... of solitude set set green is sent off to uh... japan he's gonna take point on this but then he like like apparently falls under the spell of karaoke and is not. And disappears. Yeah, it disappears. So, um,

John Travolta and, uh, Rob Williams have to go to Japan to sell this. They're gonna move to Japan when they, the problem is that Rob Williams realizes, you know, the thing that's missing in my life is these two kids that, um, you know, I, I had with this my life is these two kids that, you know, I had with this woman. And I've known what night stay. And I've known them for two weeks.

Yeah. Known them for two weeks that I figured, you know what, they're awesome. And the kids have zero personality. They are boring kids. What are you talking about? They're one of them's a boy and one of them's a girl. Well, you're right. Speaking as the boy half of Boy Girl Twins, Boy Girl go to the way more interesting than this movie makes them out to be

and i mean like i'm glad they didn't put too much effort into like the wacky shit the kids do because kids are really interested no no but they do so are kids listen to it sorry juniors sorry flopp has junior commandos uh... your decoder rings are in the mail but uh... but really but Robin Williams throws the the big meeting Well, he got he meets up with the family and says I'm sorry. I have to move to Japan. They are heartbroken

No, yeah, cuz they really like this. They really love him after two weeks. Yeah, he is like out like a Mrs. Doutfire Yeah, I mean they act as it's 10. He wears outfits. I's a mean that everything he screws up everything he complains about everything and he's probably significantly wealthier than they are yeah so i have to assume so uh... they go to japan yeah he sees a video of them at an amusement park while he's supposed to give his big presentation to the japanese bosses

like his computers trying to tell them something he and john java have the computer war tennis shoes it's it's exactly what it was like it's like a comp USA john javulte and rambulance have the end of act to fight between the two friends that puts them in different

directions john javulte finds that is immediately resolved yes because john jolte finds that his dog has died and rolloom shows up the very elaborate dog funeral uh... that he has thrown with all those dog buddies yeah there are a lot of dogs there they make up after the break up and then decide to go shake up

that family by making rolloom's a part of it again and make some shaking which involves them and set green for lord knows what reason breaking into a zoo set green is it's implied raped by gorilla uh... rob uh... john faulty is attacked by penguins and robin Williams straps on a sort of jet pack and flies over to the kids are

we're like a super Dave Osborne. Yeah, like a patriotic jumpsuit with a helmet. So what you're saying is this is like, it's a seamless movie. I'd say it's seamless plotting. It's like a John Waters absurd surrealist. It's a very amodovar film. Well, the thing is it's like this whole movie,

it has all these little elements, and they all build up to this magnificent crescendo at the end of the movie. Oh yeah. It's like a nice little fine clockwork. Mm-hmm. Everything meshes together. Oh.

Beautiful. Like a watch. Well. That would be an example of clockwork. Yeah, okay. Like an orange? It all ends happily, I guess. It all ends.

It's for us. Who watched? And then at the end they What I guess they have a lot they're all successful or something they're all successful and happy and they get on I'm one year later John Travolta has a boat and he's married to Lori Laughlin and they have a baby That's it. I thought that was Robin Williams It's one of their listen. They co-own everything. Yeah, they share their wives and children alike Oh man like that like like at a key party. Yeah, they're like changoning and they've got a polyamorous relationship And um, they switch off every month. Okay. Yeah, it's just really make it work together

It's kind of hot. It may keep things well Robin Williams and John the Volta involved so it's not that hot. Yeah He's got that tattoo though right that makes him get a better. Yeah that says free month. It's weird because they make a big point of how they open his shirt to give him the tattoo and he's really got a hairy chest so I have to shave his chest to put the tattoo on and I guess the tattoo dead-end the hair follicles because they never grow back. Yeah, that's science. Yeah, super science. So what, this was a well-made film. Yeah, you learned something interesting about this by the way of all, yeah.

Oh yeah, Conrad Hall's work was all over this. You learned. I think they brought in, they brought in Tech Koo Jamoto to a, I've never seen an uglier movie in the way it's shot but you learn something interesting was on the internet and why you share that trivia about how it was originally meant to be or according to uh... Wikipedia i think no more made no current i m d b so take it with a grand salt but i believe it

this was meant to be and comedy for adults at one point to be released via the touchstone imprint of Walt Disney or touchstone division that test audiences hated it so much and an already a movie it says and that test audiences Hated it so much that it was cut down from like a hundred and seven minutes or 117 minutes to 88 minutes and to get a PG rating until release it for kids But it's but it makes a little bit of sense that this would have been an adult comedy because there's so much in it That is like the two of them complaining about the ailments they have as they get older the kids don't come into the movie for like 20 minutes and that 20 minutes so much of it is the story of Robin Williams and John Trafalto getting drunk in Miami and having a whirlwind fake like a one night stand

wedding like like there are a lot of two men who have like a great like aching hole in their lives and they need to fill it whichever way they can kind of through collecting curios and sleeping with underage women or in the case of robin Williams, I guess being being a dad. Being a dad. No, like being a dad. But there's also like, there's a joke where John Travolta is talking to the kids and he's like, is this something like Casino?

He's like, he ever been to a casino and they're like, no, and he goes, well, you ever seen the movie Casino? And they go, no. And to get why that is supposed to be a joke, you have to to know that casino is not an appropriate movie for kids to have watched right if the joke if there's any reality that joke then the child audience of this movie doesn't know what casino is wouldn't get the joke you know it's like right after he makes a comment about you know he's like hey these kids have never seen Friday the 13th part one and or two and you're like oh my god I can't

believe it and later on they're watching a Friday the 13th part one and or two and you're like oh my god I can't believe it. And later on they're watching a Friday the 13th movie not even one of the first two movies. Yeah it's infuriating. That's a very, that's also a very strange thing. I mean that's a plot hole. Yeah. As a line of dialogue that's also strange too because like why does he stop there? Like it seems like he would be like he would either say these kids have never seen Friday the 13th or these kids have never seen a Friday the 13th movie but he singles out the first two specifically he feels like the hockey mask was really what made that series go downhill he loved when Mrs. Voorhees was the killer spoiler alert

he loved bag head Jason did not like the hockey mask I and I even when even taking Manhattan was not enough for him to like Jason again. Yeah, even going to space Or hell or going bananas 1317 Jason goes bananas or being in Monte Carlo Which is also another herbie reference See guys I can play too. What's yeah, that's yeah, that's right anyway, so I wish there was a Friday the 13th Jason in love That's a girl or a guy it's 21st century who knows they can get married in California or a smurf maybe like that Yeah, the smurfs crossover

Here's something I'd like to talk about. I've pitched successful films before. We all remember how I pitched Ziggy and it went on to be a number one film, make over $700 million worldwide. I know, remember that. I've been trying to get the idea of film crossovers off the ground for a while. For instance, short circuit three slash Terminator five. World's not ready for it. World is very ready for it

or say Rocky or Johnny five Justin Bieber Justin Bieber in a cardboard box yeah all his dialogue is turning to be people and all of his stunts would be performed by Amanda Bines from she's the man I don't know Amanda minds is not a stunt man I don't know like she would do that. Oh guys, by the way, guys, by the way, she came back to acting after briefly retiring. So I know you guys were worried when she retired from acting for a week. Justin Bieber. Amanda Bines.

Oh, she now. Amanda Bieber. Amanda Bieber. Justin Bines. Bieber, Bobo. Why can't I find Amanda Bieber anyway beaver anyway come on now to Justin beepers the best place for beepers cellular telephones it's so forth that'd be a business I would start so you got a strike while the end well I guess I'll

work on my film crossovers pitch I'm trying to get Rocky six Rambo five off the ground also sure Rocky and Rambo finally together. So wait, what brought this up to the crossovers? The Smurfs and Jason Boyke is being in love with the Smurf. But this is Angelina and herbie all the time. This is our rated thing. Like, this is like, that makes this the modern Kangaroo Jack, which was also like supposed to be an R rated like action copy and then they're like, oh, all people care about as the modern kangaroo jack, which was also supposed to be an R-rated action comedy.

And they're like, oh, all people care about it as a rapping kangaroo. Let's make it into a children's room and cut out all the swear words. And we'll let's advertise the film as if it's about a rapping kangaroo. But that was a success. That movie, like it worked. Yeah, you know why that was a success? You know why that was a success? Because the advertising lied and maybe people think it was about a talking rapping kangaroo.

Which everyone wants to see. Every single shot almost in the commercials was from the same like five minute section of the film. Brilliant. I cannot imagine how disappointed the children must have been to watch the movie and... Where's the kangaroo? When is Jack going to get there?

I find David when I'm to be irritating. I'm glad Jerry will come not lost the weight but still you seem smug uh... but yet this was a meant to be a different movie still going to be a bad movie i assume this is not if this is not a new year it's a

little fight it all dogs you know this is not uh... the magnificent ever since where you know where if a masterpiece was almost was almost was spoiled you know you know it almost feels like you can't get angry at this movie wrong

no for it for independent they like you can't like object to like individual things that they don't make sense just because the whole movie doesn't make sense like i was going to it is as a a completely bad movie. It is it yeah, it is of a piece But yes in that way it is maybe a perfect work of art I was going to complain for instance that like okay, there's a scene where like all of the

The the pills you like get dropped into the sink and so the all get mixed up So he's taking the wrong pills in the wrong day and he ends up like hallucinating things I'm like there are no medicines where that would actually be what happens when the well you don't know what kind of Combinations okay, I don't know I don't I think there are there might be medicines that cause hallucinations, but I don't know Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it'd be like medicine, so much as like some kind of like a like a like a recreational drug. Mm-hmm. Well, I guess that's what that's what we, you know, is not spelled out, but it is implicit.

I have to say. It was not unlike when a movie features a scene where characters take like drugs, like maybe smoke weed or eat like pot brownies. And the scene is clearly written or directed by somebody who has never done those things. So they just make it the craziest. So they start hallucinating and seeing things that are out there.

Transformers to the right. Attack of the clones. Both of you are thinking about the same joke as they do, I'm going in different directions. Did that, is there a scene like that in Transformers 2, Breaking? I'm Bougaloo. Yeah. The most famous.

It was before, September 11. I got it wrong. I just did it up. It was before they discovered the secret of the news, I think. Was it another stakeout? It was through the port hole of time. The port hole of time. Not the port hole of time. The port hole of time. Not the portal of time.

The port hole of time. In the time vote. They're not a cruise. They're a cruise. Like, there's around the Caribbean and through time. Well, not only to go out through the port hole. All right. Stay on the boat.

The captain asked me to give you a quick word of advice about your cabin. You are the one cabin that has the port hole of time. Please don't go through it. Because you'll end up in time. Otherwise, enjoy it. We've got the spa on deck two. Shuffle, you know what? Here's two free spot coupons. Just don't open the port hole of time. I cannot emphasize this enough to not go through the port hold time. Let me just tell you that again. I don't know why you'd go through a port hold at all. There's so much to do on the ship. I don't know why you'd try to leave it.

But just this particular port hold. The phase on the ship. Midnight by day every night. And you don't have to stay up late because it starts at 11. If you do happen to fall out of the port hold time. Do you not step on a butterfly? Please do not drop any with the kids to bed with the kids on a butterfly Please do not drop any shuffle boards equipment in the that might crush a butterfly would change the history Let me just tell you that your buffets. Don't mess with the port holes in general time or not

I'll make an announcement to the whole ship just stay away from the port holes. Don't open them. Don't worry about it Listen, we've got a whole mall on the ship there's a pool why why are you investigating the windows again with the port holes don't you worry about the breeze it's air conditioned is turn off the thermostat or down in the cabin yeah anyway so see you tonight at the karaoke dinner If you have any questions I Again the purse are The boason recommended the wheel Soul on the poop deck a Turn and don't go up in the crow's nest On the poop deck, a stern.

And don't go up in the crow's nest. Stayed of the rigging. If you need to go ashore, the coxen will... We're on a boat, you don't have a lot of time. You tend to shorten words. So, we, even the portal of of time, we called the poor time. So if you could just stay away from the poor time, that would be wonderful. Well, I know. No soap. I'll talk. We'll get there should be soap in the bathroom. If there's not, I'll

get it for you now. No towels are in the closet right here. Okay, great. The soap, I don't know why that is. I'll check it. Well, people tend to stay out of this cabin. We try not to book it because again the poor whole of time So maybe they just didn't refill the bathroom last time because there's no one staying in this cabin on the ship But I'll get it for you. Well, no that thank you. Oh very generous. Thank you. That's I mean again Not necessary but very much appreciated Theater is over. That was a tip at the end. I understand. That's where you go back in and do the...

That's where my one-man show, Port Hall of Time. We're gonna do the sound effect. Go back in and put the sound effects in afterwards. Yeah, go, go, go! She's gone! You can just go back and edit and loop those. Yeah, really great. Lay it.

Okay, layers, but layers. Stereo, multi-track. I'll split up one on the left channel, one on the right channel. That would be great. So it's like, it's going through your head. Mm-hmm. And then I'll switch him. It's how humans hear things.

They're doing these two years. Anyway, now that we've wasted all that time, it's time for final judgments. Final judgments. So, is this a good bad movie? What's it? Bad bad bad. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Or, I already, I already said what the prize was.

The entry was to review us on iTunes. And everyone did a great job. Yeah, a lot of fantastic reviews. I read the reviews aloud to Elias and because I am blind. There was some good critiques. You know, there's some tough moments reading over there. I did not appreciate being called Fussy in one of them. Sure.

But the otherwise that review was spot on. I think that was one that mentioned noises made with people's mouths, or songs from people's mouths, and also one that reviews mentioned that we enjoy lists of words that sound like other words. So, two for two. Yep, very accurate. So a lot of good reviews, and keep them coming. Even though this contest is over, we'd still appreciate you writing reviews.

Yeah, we just, this last much we just surpassed 50,000 downloads over the course of all of the episodes. Woo! And we got a dollar for every one of those downloads. No, we didn't get any money. What? But that's still, I mean, considering that we've been doing this for almost three years now, it still seems shamefully low to me.

So I appreciate all the support, but out Wow and spread the gospel guys. Yeah, well, I don't find it shamefully low But you just but we can always go higher. Yeah, so let's make it happen team Team lab house Okay, we have delayed so who is the winner?

yeah what else would be our film recommendations films that you should watch instead of old dogs oh yeah well if you have the chip if you can watch anything Instead of all dogs. If you have that's our recommendation if you have the option of turning your head slightly away from the screen look out the window Do so. Yeah, or stare at the floor The stare into space look at anything. We'll stare at the floor appreciate the Crashing ship and enjoy the the crash and ship. The blue eyes and in your brain of the ability. Injury deprivation. Enjoy the flashes of color that happen when you close your eyes.

Or like close your eyes and push on your eyes with your hands. You don't do it for too long though. Well, yeah, I'm not suggesting people blind themselves. Well, if they're watching old dogs, yes, I would suggest that. I mean, that's a lot of stuff. I mean, that's a lot of stuff. The flop house lawyers insist that we make that display. The flop house lawyers, do we, I uh... displaying the floppout lawyers uh...

do we i can't remember the name that that joke that they do on car talk and really do you know how do you do you know how using similar is this guys at car talk everyone on the uh... the uh... the local work from the car talk yeah those guys are criminals law of illegitimate children we're gonna get a lot of work forimate children. Well, they're going to get a lot of work from us now for the liable of the statement.

You just made. But Ellie, you're doing a- They taste a fricking frack versus Vee the flop house? What did you see recently that you enjoyed? Recently, a movie that I watched many years ago as a young child, but watched again- I don't know. I did watch that years ago as a young child, but that I just watched again recently was the hit film Capricorn 1, which many people may

remember as having an all-star cast of James Brolin, O.J. Simpson, Sam Warrison, Hall Hallbrook, Elliott Gould, and it's a movie from the 70s about a, I think it's the late 70s, about the first manned mission to Mars is coming up, but there's a problem with the spacecraft. So it should be called off, but the head of the space agency, Hal Hallbrook is worried that if there's another screw up, the budget's going to get cut. So instead they fake the Mars landing on a sound stage, and there's a whole big conspiracy, the astronauts are not into it, so they're going to have to be killed, but they escape. Elliot Gould is a reporter who gets on the case, and it's not a really great movie,

and the kind of suspense action scenes are not particularly well done, but there are a lot of good dialogue scenes between Elliot Gould and different small supporting characters, and like Telly Svalis has a very funny scene at the end that comes kind of out of nowhere right before the climactic helicopters versus crop duster flight battle. But it's this kind of movie that's kind of like a fairly passable kind of conspiracy thriller of the 70s with this ludicrous plot but there's a lot of good like funny scenes that are well written. It's almost like the writer who is working that was like I'll do this plot but there's a lot of good like funny scenes that were are well written and it's almost like the writer who is working I was like I'll do this plot but

you know what I'm gonna throw in like some like funny scenes that are not really related to what's going on but the characters are really like sharp and funny in those moments so it's a it's a it's a little long as a movie it's like two hours but it shouldn't be that long but it's a fun movie to watch well speaking of conspiracy thrillers i'm gonna read you also see James rolling slid open a snake and eat its belly you saying uh... uh... now i i've got also recommended thriller

uh... roban polanskies the ghost writer which i think that the pbs children show the same name uh... niggalus kade is in the right now Yeah, you're thinking of Ghost Rider based on the Marvel Comics character. Demi Moore is in that though, right? No, you're thinking of something I'm not sure what you're thinking of. The one where Patrick's Waisies in it? Oh Ghost, you're thinking of him. Oh, that's right. Well, Bill Maries in it. Oh, you're thinking of Groundhogs. The old switcheroo. Bill Cosby? I guess dead. Oh.

Actually, I was thinking of Leonard Parts 6. Okay. Really? I don't think anyone else is thinking about that. Oh, all the time, I think about it. No, that's even older, switcheroo. You know the same switcheroo. No, a Ghost Rider is a good thriller of a kind that they don't make anymore.

Good. I think that thrillers may be John Ruffett, Modern Hollywood has forgotten the most how to make because they're all based on stupid twists nowadays. But this is a much more sort of old style. So it's got a good twist. Hitchcocky and Trillette. There's stuff in it that you can maybe consider a twist,

but it's all nice. The twist is that it's a good movie. Yeah, go with the whole movie because No, no, it's an alien. The twist is that he is a writer the whole movie wait them title says that yeah You think it's a different guy. Oh, the twist is that he didn't actually use a ghost writer. He wrote the book himself But I have some great performances from Chubby checker from little Richard performances from Chubby Checker from Little Richard from Shit, I can't remember the main guys you're gonna be a Gregor I couldn't remember his name for saying oh, yeah, Obi-Wan Kenobi Yeah, but his brother is in it too, right? God who I like

pretty much whenever he's not playing James Bond Olivia Williams is very good in it Kim Cat Katrell is not good at it, but Jim Belushi is surprisingly good in a very small role in a completely dramatic turn. Star of Canine. Yeah. And what, taking care of business, was that the... Okay, well... Which one was... I don't remember that one. I'm gonna pass it along to Stewart. I don't have a... It sounds like the name of a Jim Belushi movie though. Yeah, I am going to recommend a contemporary film.

A modern film. a modern film, as opposed to the one that Dan mentioned, which was released earlier this year, so is therefore not contemporary. I'm going to recommend a movie called Bronson, starring, starring fan favorite Tom Hardy. favorite Tom Hardy. Fans of Inception. Yeah, fans of Inception and of the movie, Bronson. And it's a bio-pick about Charles Manson. About Charles Manson. It's about the Britain's most violent criminal,

a guy who, this larger than life personality, and it's, who, it tells a story, but- Inspiration for then came Bronson. And in many ways that, like, it's kind of filtered through his own perception of his life, and he, it's basically just a story about a guy who lives for the moment that the guards break down his cell door and he just starts fighting him. And there's this really great scene where he strips down completely naked and starts

smearing gasoline all over himself so he can better avoid the grasp of the guards when they beat him up. And it's really hilarious. So yeah, what happened to Bronson Pinchot? Yes. It was when they were filming Second Site with John Lerket. Bronson Pinchot. Yes, it was when they were filming second sight with John Lerakette Bronson Pinchot. He was so like he'd been doing so many drugs. Yeah, because he was trying to like he was He was bouncing behind the scenes of me go the sitcom where he was an alien who befriended a little kid wait He was a me go Not a not a not a not a fungy from you got All right, so

Might as well be gibberish to me. I'm gonna sign off We can talk about lovecraft in the mythos for a while. Nope. Okay. Let's Let's let's put this podcast through the portal of time It's a launch the ages now.
