We're home. Let's go. One, two, three.
Look at you up.
She is one ugly cross-burning redneck tuckle a police bitch, man.
All right. Move.
The episode of THR Presents Stream Feens.
I'm your host, Brian.
With me as always is my brother Nez.
What's up, man?
Yo, man.
What's going on up there?
Anything new?
After a few days of sunshine, it's just been raining.
Rainin.
I wish.
It was hot today.
I think it was like below 80s.
I'm like, oh, my wife's got the cooler on now because she's burning up.
I'm like, I'm cold.
I mean, once the sun goes down, it gets cold again.
But she got every window in the house open.
I'm here in the studio freezing.
Nothing but trouble.
Chevy Chase, Dan Ay, John Candy.
To me Moore, all they wanted was a little getaway.
Me the keys, Mike.
What is this place?
Okay, let's eat.
Hans on a lot, man.
How about a nice Hawaiian punch?
All they got was nothing but trouble.
Hey!
Read at DG 13, now play at a theater near you.
Yeah, horror, comedy, question mark.
I guess let's just jump right into the synopsis here.
Let's go to Google first.
While attempting to seduce gorgeous lawyer Diane Leitzen, wealthy Gadabout,
I guess, Chris Thorn agrees to drive her to Atlantic City, New Jersey.
But when some reckless driving draws the attention of a deeply critical cop,
they and the flamboyant
Brazilianaires
who are tagged along
end up in the court of a
grotesque and vengeful judge
who has special
vendetta against the wealthy
and
erudites
I don't know
there's words out now
IMDB
what do you have
of course
short and down version
a businessman and his friends
are captured by
sadistic judge and his equally odd family in the backwoods of a bizarre mansions.
That's a better one.
This stars Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroy, John Candy, Demi Moore,
a bunch of other people.
Remember that one guy's name?
This was directed by Dan Aykroy, screenplay by Dan Aykroy.
budget was $40 million and a box office 8.4 million so this was a flop
Liz what did you think um I saw this back when it came out as one of those ones it
was we were at the drive-in and we went seeing something else but this was the
second movie and for what it was I mean you got mainly
three big huge 80s,
uh,
comedy stars,
uh,
two SNL alumni and then Demi Moore.
Uh,
she's still hot now.
She was hot here.
John Candy's always funny.
The movie's goofy and
Dan Aykroyd's like really going overboard with his character.
But I liked it,
man.
It was funny.
It just made me laugh.
Um,
after I kind of,
to find out how Chevy Chase really is it kind of I don't know he kind of just
rubs me the wrong way now yeah as I agree yeah he's it did the start him get
to his head I don't know was he like this before he became famous I don't know
if the feel was here he could tell you a little bit more because he met him
and he said he wasn't very cool
Dan Akroyd seems like he'd be cool
No matter what
I think he has a podcast
I know because he talks about
Alien stuff
Yeah I had seen him
He came on like the Joe Rogan podcast
And he was talking about aliens
And had his little
Branda
I think it was vodka or tequila
Or one of those
One of them
But
Everybody in it
I mean, John Candy's funny, no matter what.
I've always loved him.
He played dual roles in this.
Dan Akroyd as well, he did.
But for what it is, man, it was funny.
Was it an early 90s classic, comedy classic?
I don't know.
Not too many people have heard of this film for some reason.
I mean, the only place we found it was streaming on YouTube.
But I advise you not to watch that one.
There's some stuff that was cut out of it.
And I was like, okay.
But I understand.
Yeah, listeners, if you don't know, we chose this in honor of the legendary Shockjee from Digital Underground and Past.
And they perform a song in here that whoever uploaded this to YouTube took out the song.
So kind of defeated the purpose.
But I know, as you said, you went and watched the video clip.
Yeah, someone else put the video clip of just that performance.
So, because I couldn't remember what song it was.
And I was wondering, because when you start the movie on YouTube, it's just silent.
And you're seeing the Manhattan skyline.
You know, what's happening here?
And then once the dialogue started, the sound came back on.
So each time there was, like, music.
like a song, like the digital underground song, and I think it was a four seasons song.
It went silent and whatever the theme was at the song at the end, it went silent.
I think they went silent for, because we get a Baldwin, Daniel Baldwin cameo, I guess,
if you want to call it cameo, I think when they were playing whatever music on their stereo,
I think they kind of cut part of that out too.
Yeah, Daniel Bald, I forgot he was in this.
He was a dealer one.
Dealer one.
What?
The one that always, every time I see him on the screen,
Taylor Negron, I think that's his name.
He was one of the Brazilian bazillionaires.
Fausto.
Yeah, I've loved him in just about everything he's been in.
He was awesome in Rodney Dangerfields.
Easy Money
and the Stone Dage
for a little party he had,
Matt.
He wasn't a TV show.
I can't remember.
I saw him one time
when I was down living
in the Bay Area.
I saw him walking his dog.
I happened to be driving by.
If you guys have seen that movie,
Easy Money, he was the one going,
I'm the man.
And I just yelled that out that window.
I went, I'm the man.
He at least looked and kind of smiled.
He's also one of the villains.
and the last Boy Scout.
That's right.
He was, huh?
Did we do that one?
Not yet, but we're going to.
Okay.
Yeah, to call everybody by their whole name
in that movie.
Yeah, but
Taylor had passed away
a while back from cancer.
I was kind of shocker.
That one came out of nowhere,
but I mean, every time I've seen him
in something, he's always funny.
And he was hell of funny in this.
Hey man, his wife.
that was his sister oh is this yeah sister rinald yeah it i can see why you get a little confused
because kind of talked to her sometimes like that was the girl
i mean everybody in this i mean you see people in it other than the main cast and oh there's
there's so-and-so there's so-and-so but the movie was what it was it was it was funny
it made me laugh uh through the whole thing i was kind of like uh like this was my first
watching it because I
completely forgot
about this movie.
The only thing I really remember is
Digital Underground was in it.
And Dan Aykroyd had a dick nose.
But it was
funny though.
I like the whole movie.
Yeah, it's probably been,
I don't know,
20 years since I've seen this movie.
And I didn't remember a whole lot of
course,
the digital underground
I remember them.
I remember the weird-ass characters.
Dan Aykroy plays John Candy plays
Officer Dennis and also his sister
Eldona.
And re-watching this now,
I'm just like, I don't know what they were trying to go for.
I don't.
At times, I guess you can call it a horror movie.
But it's like they were just trying
to give subtle hints that this is kind of a horror movie, but it was more of a comedy.
And I kind of felt like this, I don't know, I kind of wanted to dig more deeper into this
because I kind of felt like it was uneven.
Like maybe they had to cut some stuff out or maybe they filmed too much and I don't know,
it went over budget.
I don't know because it just kind of seemed like some things didn't make sense to me.
I mean, it was what it was.
It wasn't any,
wasn't a complex story or anything.
Chevy Chase,
maybe he just did it for a favor for Dan Aykroyd.
I don't know.
Because it seemed to me like he,
he actually same in every movie.
Not as goofy as when he's,
Clark W. Griswold.
That's what he won.
He phoned it in this one.
Oh, yeah.
He just,
he seemed like he didn't even want.
want to be there.
So, but I don't know, to me more.
I mean, she acts the same just about and everything.
I didn't mind her.
Her character was, was what it was.
They did that thing, though, when she's supposed to be dirty.
You can tell somebody just like dab a little dirt on her face here and there.
I know, because she was falling and crawling everywhere and wearing white and still
look nice to clean.
John Candy.
I mean, I just love him
and just about everything he's in.
I think my favorite movie of his is
the one he did with Dan Aykroy,
The Great Outdoors.
Oh, yeah.
That movie is hilarious.
I loved him as Who's Harry Crum?
Uncle Buck.
Summer rental.
Yeah.
Armed and dangerous.
Oh, man.
That one was hell of fun with Eugene Leffey.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
He's got so many good, good films.
But this one,
maybe yeah
hey my friends are doing it
I'll join them and all that
so but me
it was what it is
what's his name
he always worms his way
into these type of films
Brian Doyle Murray
Bill Murray's brother
oh yeah
he popped up in
but
Daniel Baldwin was the one
that kind of shocked me
I had totally forgot he was in it
he was only in it for like a second
but
maybe
the beginning
of his career? I don't know because
what time
period was the end
say good night
copper
I don't know I assume
this was maybe filmed if not
90 89 I don't know
and of course they had to have
every drug
possible on them
I was like
wow
had a whole car full of stuff
but this one it was just Chevy Chase was
well he was a lawyer oh no no he wasn't a lawyer
financial advisor yeah living in Manhattan
living that life and kind of runs into
demean more she was a lawyer
Diane Leitzen
and
what they met at a part first they met the elevator then they met at a
party.
And I can't, why was she trying to go to Atlantic City?
Um, I guess she was the lawyer of, one of her clients that I think she was having a
relationship with.
I think he did kind of some shady deal that was going to make her look bad as far as
her career.
And I guess she figured because they were messing around that he would have gave her heads
up and he didn't.
And for some reason, she needed Chevy.
Chase is Chris Thorne to give her a ride?
Yeah, well, you live in Manhattan and you're a lawyer.
Well, then again, not a lot of people who live in New York have cars because you can just jump on the train and go everywhere.
For the sake of argument, let's just say that was the reason why she didn't have a car.
So she kind of hustled Chris Thorne, Chevy Chases, give her a ride down to Atlantic City.
and the two
Brazilian
Alstowe and
Rinalda
It was
It was Chevy Chase's
Clients
The obnoxious
But wealthy Brazilian
And Argentine siblings
They were funny
Every time they were on the screen
They were funny
So
They just wanted to go along
They heard their conversation
And they yeah
We'll go
And they said
I will meet
in the garage at 12 or whatever.
So I don't think Chevy wanted them to go, but when they were getting ready to leave,
they showed up, hey, let's go.
So they all jumped in the car.
Said a Brazilian air never forgets.
So they started making their way to Atlantic City.
Have you ever been to Atlantic City?
I have only been really in that area, the East Coast like once.
And next time I go, it would probably be like me being there for the
the first time. That's how long ago it was.
I've been in New York many times, Boston, New Jersey.
That's about it. I've never made it down to the Atlantic City area, which I would like to.
I don't know how far it is. I think Newark was, Newark and Red Bank, New Jersey, as far as I've gone.
So they're making their way down to Atlantic City.
for some reason
the Brazilianaires
wanted to
pack a picnic lunch
let's stop in the country
and eat
Demi Moore kind of
Shett Chevy just wants to get down there
and do what he got is doing
hopefully some way worm his way into
Diane's
riches
So
she's like yeah let's go driving the country
and he's like
All right
So they kind of veer off the
highway and I don't know where they were going they ended up in some like industrial quarry part of
new jersey um it's got vents and stuff coming out of the ground and yeah they ended up uh in an old
rundown village of vulcan vana vana vana valkenvania yeah which i'm seeing here i guess that was
the original name of the
movie before they changed it well that's right the the title nothing but trouble
that was referencing uh... de m or something she said he's like damn i'm nothing but
trouble and okay you got shoehorn that the name in there somewhere so they uh they're
driving through uh vulcanvania uh and they're not really sure where the hell they are a bunch
of shady people, kind of like a little
hick town.
They're riding around.
Chevy makes a right,
but doesn't really completely stop
at a stop sign.
And the police,
I think it was the shares or, no,
like the Vulcan vanya constables.
Yeah. And that turned out to be John Candy.
And what was
his deputy's name?
That was his
cousin and I think her name was Purdy, Miss Purdy.
Okay.
So they're kind of riding behind them.
The cops are riding behind them.
And then he turns on his lights and then Chevy's like,
oh, damn it, man, the cops.
And the, the Brazilianaires are like, man,
this is a Mercedes, whatever, whatever.
No, it was a BMW.
And he goes, punch it.
And there's like, he goes, man, you can outrun him in this.
you can't beat you that police car
can't beat you
it was a BMW
733 I
I don't know my car's that wrong
but that's what it says here
so
he's
he punches it and then the cops
are chasing after him
and then the cop must have like
what did he have some kind of power
boosters or supercharger
engine or something
yeah it was like he just
all of a sudden went fast and furious
and just like pulled a little switch and then just took off.
And he just chased him and chased him.
And while they're just a hauling ass down this road, there's like I said, it's like a quarry area.
There's all these big giant tractor trucks mining for something.
I don't know, but they're trying out in and out of that traffic.
And then they end up finally getting, they said, hey, just pull over and let's see what he wants.
And then it pulls him over.
Turn out it's a John Candy.
He's Officer Dennis Volkenheiser.
Okay.
Oh, but he basically, all right, man, you guys are not under arrest,
but I'm going to cite you, but you have to go to court in front of the judge.
I'm like, what?
And he goes, yeah, just follow us.
So they end up going, it looks like they went through a,
they went through the town, then they went through like a junk.
yard and they had to cross this moat with a drawbridge and everything they didn't know where
the hell they were going and then they pulls up to this big old mountain and this big mansion in the
center of yeah i could see where a lot of the budget went oh yeah clearly um either that was a real
junkyard and they just built that big house or did they actually make this area for them but
I can really see a lot of budget was wasted on this,
this setting right here.
I bet I'm 100% they probably built that moat too.
Oh, yeah.
Everything.
I mean,
for this,
um,
for the actual movie set for what they did.
I mean,
it was creepy and cool.
But yeah,
um,
40 million dollars and it only made eight,
eight million back.
Yeah.
Yeah, you can clearly see where all the money went.
I mean, for the sets, for special effects,
probably the prosthetic effects of Dan Aykroyd
and those two chubby fat guys with diapers.
Bobo and Little Devil.
And El Dona, El Dona or whatever it was.
John Candy was his.
twin sister.
So they get there, they go in, all right, you guys got to deal with the judge.
And what was Dan actually?
Judge Alvin J.P. Volkenheiser.
I guess he was 160 years old.
He looked at.
So they go into his courtroom and the house just look like.
It was a big mansion type and it kind of reminded me like a horse.
house because there was just piles and piles of crap everywhere so they end up in the
courtroom and here comes the judge he comes out of the ceiling in a chair and no no he didn't
come out of the ceiling I think he came up from the below because we couldn't see him at first
yeah because he was hiding behind a bunch of books that were on the desk but he was just kind
of basically reading and the rights and what they had done and what's going to happen
it turned out that
he couldn't make a
decision until
like the negative day
for some reason
but I guess
they needed it to stretch the movie out
this all happened in like one night
one day and a night
I think he said something about how he thought he was a banker
and he doesn't let bankers go
oh yeah that's right
but he kept telling him
I'm not a banker I'm a financial
advisor and he was like yeah a banker
because
Chevy Chase
Chris Thorne he tried to
he kept he kept trying to talk his way out of it because it says here
after Chris offends the judge the yuppies are locked in a hidden room under the
courthouse to be judged
judge the next day
and they overhear the judge violently
executing a group of convicted drug dealers
oh okay I'm jumping ahead but yeah
he just didn't
like lawyers
or bankers or anything
but Chevy Chase did kind of
was getting a little smart with him like this is stupid
why can't you just give us a ticket
and send us on our way and
that's when the judge was like nah you guys got to spend
a night here and we'll deal with you guys
in the morning so
he goes yeah come a little closer they step closer
and he hits this trap door
Chevy
just kind of falls straight
down. No, no, no, they
both did, or all of them did. No.
Yeah, all four.
Did they split up when they were in the basement?
Yeah, I was after this part. They all fall into a
pit of, I guess, squeaky toys.
That's what it looked like, or sounded.
It's like that's kind of
fucking weird and creepy.
Well, I think it was a soft landing. They didn't just
come down to fall to the ground.
So it looks like they stayed there for a while.
because they were laying on them asleep.
So I assume maybe a couple hours had passed.
But then the four of them tried to figure out how the hell they were going to get out of there.
The brothers and sisters, the Brazilianaires, they ended up taking off.
And they got out of the house, out of the mansion.
And they were running around through the junkyard, I guess.
Yeah, they got out during the dinner.
Oh, that's right.
I think it was after the dinner is when they escaped, right?
Yeah, when they fucking just jumped through the window.
Yeah, oh, that's right, because they all slept,
and then they came down and woke them up and said,
yeah, you guys got to go out.
We're going to have dinner.
And they were eating, uh,
he said hot dogs,
but I don't know what it was.
I don't know about that.
Look like old, uh,
Bratworths or something.
I have in a nice, warm cup of Hawaiian.
punch.
And it had one of those, some of you younger guys, gals and guys and gals, probably don't remember.
Back in the day when oil, motor oil, it came in cans.
And you had to have this kind of like a spiket.
You stabbed into the top of the can.
And that's how you dumped the oil into your engine.
Not like today, we just twist the cap off.
I hadn't seen one of those in forever.
Yeah, he jammed that in top of the wine punch can.
And I remember that too.
That's how old I am, everyone.
Hawaiian Punch didn't always come in a nice plastic container.
It wasn't a tin can, and you had to cut it.
There was can openers where you just pulled holes in it to dump it out.
Yeah.
You didn't have that.
Then you dangerously used a knife.
Yeah, I've been there too.
So.
When they were eating or they, they go, hey, you ever had an ant on a log?
I don't know what that was.
I think it's celery with peanut butter and raisins.
Oh, okay.
I don't know, whatever it was.
And he put it on the plate, it sounded hard.
Yeah.
So they were like, yeah, and then they came out, what's her name?
El Dona.
Was that her name?
Yeah.
She was the one bringing out the dinner.
her and she didn't speak.
So she just kind of giggled
every now and then.
I think they said she was mute.
Okay. So while they're sitting there,
you're getting ready to eat.
The judge flicks some switch,
and then this train
comes out of the table.
And it's chew-chewing around
in a circle. And it had
the condiments on it.
Like the ketchup and the mustard
and everything. But that train was going by
like hella fast. I'm like,
I don't know how you'd be able to get anything, but...
It seemed like it only stopped for the judge.
Yeah, because it stopped in front of him.
He got what he needed, and then it kept going.
It did stop when he shot that pickle at Fausto.
And this is another thing.
They probably built this table so they can have this scene.
It's another thing the budget went to.
I mean, everything.
I mean, even the traps and the...
the slides and
everything. I mean, they had
to have built all that.
So, even like outside,
like there was like a pile of
toasters and they didn't
really look that old.
Yeah, I mean,
I had to have gone and bought
everything and just
threw piles of it everywhere.
So
why
did those two jump out of the window
where they just
scared or I can't remember what led up to that?
I think everybody was getting the impression they're not going to be able to leave.
And I guess he just took it upon himself to grab his sister and jump out the second
story window.
Yeah, they got out.
I mean, after they crashed out of the window, I thought they died because they dove out.
Did Chevy and Demi try to escape?
Yeah, they tried to run and
El Dona like grabbed them
Oh, that's right
Because the Chevy can run around the corner
She stood there and blocked him
He just do hit her and then fell
Backwards
And then because I know
How did
Because okay
The brother and sister got out
And they ran through the junkyard
And they made it to the moat
And they were like
Well, how are we going to do it
And they kept saying it smelled like something
And I can't remember.
So they were like,
fuck it,
let's just do it.
So they push,
went through the water as they're,
I don't know why they jumped in.
They could have just walked in and climbed in.
But then they were,
because whatever that moat was was all,
it looked gross.
So they ended up making it across.
And then,
um,
to me and Chevy were,
I think they loved.
Locked them back in the basement?
No, it was at a bedroom.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Yeah, I'm thinking of a lady.
Yeah, so they locked them upstairs.
And then here came the sheriff or the constable, Dennis, John Candy.
Him and his deputy, they came rolling in with someone else.
Oh, no, they ended up pulling over Daniel Baldwin and his crew.
Yeah, dealer number one.
Yeah.
So they brought them into the court and everything, and they found out, yeah, man, they had this and they had that and everything.
So it was like, all right, well, we'll deal with you guys in the morning, but come closer.
So the same thing, trapdoor.
But instead of falling into the basement, they fell off to like to the left and it was a slide.
And it slid them all, I think it was four of them, two guys and two gals.
And they fell into this, like a little small little roller coaster.
They fell into that.
And then the roller coaster started going and, ah, going in circles and down these little hills.
And then it ended up at the end, there was, it kind of reminded me of like a fun house type of thing.
It was a big, huge giant face.
And they had these metal, sharp things.
They looked like pistons going up and down.
Mr. Bonescripper.
Yeah.
So they went into that and got chewed up and spit out the other side.
So I assume Mr. Bonescripper must have just peeled off all the skin.
Because when they went through it, when it came out the other end, it was just bones,
went shooting out into another big pile of bones.
So I don't know how many years this judge has been doing this with everybody.
But, yeah, all of them were dead.
I think this is when Chris and Diane were finally, like, we need to get the hell out of here.
So they tried to escape.
And I think they were going through, like, the walls.
Yeah, because Dennis had made a deal with the Brazilians to get them out.
And they said, can you help our friends, too?
and I think he was kind of, you know, hitting them switches so things would open up so they would find their way out.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, that's right, because Dennis caught them.
Yeah.
And they said they were rich and they would help them out.
He was like, all right, cool.
Yeah, it was like, you look like you need a vacation.
So, that's right.
Okay, I was wondering who was pulling all the switches to open these secret doors.
everything so I mean it's not a bad deal I mean you can stay in Balkanvania or you can go
live the the life in Brazil because they got separated she went down a slide and ended up
shooting out of the house and um Chevy ended up going I think he he was in the house still
because I think he was crawling around the walls yeah it was like a pile of bones I was like
why is there a slide leading there
and why would you dump bones there?
Yeah, because when Demit
slid out of the house, she just fell on a big
old pile of dirt.
And when you're
trying to hide from people
that are eventually going to kill you,
you don't start yelling and screaming
for whoever you will with.
Because I'm like, why hell's she yelling?
So,
this is when
Chris was
hiding in the walls.
and he ended up by the judge's chambers or his bedroom.
And he was getting ready to go to sleep and he pulled off his nose.
So he couldn't go to sleep.
I didn't realize it looked like a dick.
Yeah, because certain angles you can really see.
You can see the head.
I was trying to put it delicately.
but yeah, it was there.
Because I was watching and then
I wasn't sure. Yeah, but when they got, when they did the close
up, I was like, oh, fuck. I don't think it was there all the time.
I think they kept switching it out because there was a scene where he was
looking at him and he didn't have it. And then he looked at him and this was
at the dinner table. And then he looked at him again. And then you could
clearly see it as like a dick nose. And then
Chevy Chase just like shakes his head. Like what the hell? And then
I think it was going.
I don't know why they kept switching it, but it, yeah, it was kind of fucking gross.
You could see the helmet.
Yeah.
At one point.
So while that was happening, he was peeking in.
And yeah, he was, Chevy was, there was a big hole in the wall, but there was a big old pile of bones.
So I, were they just killing people and throwing the bones in the walls?
I don't know.
there was a lot of stuff of this movie
couldn't be explained
there was basically a big fun house
I thought
so
um
Chevy gets a call
yeah we got some more people
because when we go outside
and we see
Dennis and his deputy
and a big
hearse pulls up
and then the hearse opens up
and out comes
Humpty and Tupac
and the rest of
the digital underground.
And they were like, well, what hell happened?
All these guys were, were they speeding?
Yeah.
And she didn't know the, she called their limo a hearse.
They were speeding in a hearse.
I thought it was it.
It looked like a hearse.
It might have been.
Now that I think about it.
So he gets him into the, um, the judge, they get them all into the courtroom and they're like,
well, who are you guys?
And they kind of told them.
They didn't say, we're digital underground.
They just said, we're performers or whatever.
And they were just kind of pleading their case.
And then he told him, well, why don't you guys perform something?
Or then he goes, well, where's all your stuff?
And they said, well, all our equipment is outside.
And they said, well, go get it all in here.
And you guys need to perform for me.
So they all ended up bringing everything in, setting it all up.
And then they ended up playing the same old song or is the same song?
Same song.
They ended up playing that song.
But if you watch the YouTube one, it goes silent.
So there's no, I mean, the video is there, but there's no, there's no sound.
I had to go click on another video just to watch that scene.
I do like that song.
It's got Shaggy.
I love how they always do it.
You see Humpty standing in the background, but he's like facing the opposite.
direction. And when Shaqjee's
up there rapping and everything, and then
when he turns around, Humpty spins around.
And then Shaq J's behind
them and you can only see the back of him.
So, I
liked how they did that. And a really, really
young, uh, Tupac
that was there.
Did he say, I think he did
say one thing. I think he had a line.
Yeah. And if you, well,
not in a movie, but if you go listen
to the actual song, he has a verse.
because he was just singing backup
yeah
he does he for people that don't know
he he started out as a what you might call
a roadie for digital underground
and he kind of worked his way up
yep you gotta do something
so they performed that song
and then even the judge jumped into it
he started playing his organ
and that was really Dan Eckward playing
because he can't play
So I thought it was basically just a music video and it was funny
Because they're out there dancing and Humpty's doing this thing
The judge joins in and then those two
Dancer girls whatever go up and
Rubbing on the judge and he's giggling around playing the organ
So he got after that now all right
Well that was fun cool right on you guys are good
All the charges are dropped
Get out of here
He asked him to do one more favor
because he was telling
Chevy Chase if you want to live
you got to because he ends up catching him
from hiding in the wall
and he tells him if you want to live
you got to marry my granddaughter
oh that's right
and the one more favorite
from Digital Underground was they had to
be the wedding band basically
there were the witnesses
and they played the wedding march or whatever
tie the knot
tie the knot
tie tie the knot yeah so yeah and uh chris had to marry uh el dona and uh oh
she's she's a she's a fine woman you'll never have car problems oh man it was all buddy
you're like yeah and the part that made me laugh the hardest is when then when it came down to
to kissing the bride and you know
He was like, oh, no, it's all right.
He wanted to, like, shake her hand or something.
And you could clearly see, John Candy did.
He probably, it seemed like he didn't give a fuck.
Chevy seemed like he was, do I have to?
I want to know how much he got paid for this.
I'm sure he got the biggest check.
Oh, of course he did.
He ended up kissing her and, and just, all right, get upstairs and make me some grandkids.
So, yeah.
Humpty and the gang all packed up and took off.
Okay.
Demi was still outside trying to just figure out what she was going to do, how to save Chris.
But when she was outside, she came across Bobo and what was the other one's the name?
Little Devil.
Yeah.
And these two, they look like big fat, big fat, fat,
babies with like those pinheads with the pointy head weird and they were mechanics as they
were fixing stuff and saying all kinds of crazy shit they were actually funny yeah this was
another thing that was just i kind of felt like there was more to it because you just get you just
get introduced to them and you just got these two giant baby looking pinheads and
I think there was a lot cut out.
I was wondering, like, why are they like this, first of all?
I mean, I don't know.
So, what is you say here?
Bobo, that one was Dan Aykroyd and little deeble.
Debel?
What was it?
Little, whatever his name is.
It was played by John.
Davakis, I think that is.
He said the judges severely deformed the grandchildren.
He says earning the creature's friendship with Diane catches glimpses of Eldonia
destroying Chris's BMW.
Chris sneaks into the judge's personal quarters, but is quickly caught.
Volkenheiser punishes him according to the House policy, which decrees at Christmas.
Okay, we already went through all that already.
Yeah, weird-ass law, whichever, whichever man touches Aldona, she gets to keep.
Okay, you're right.
The band leads without understanding him and the furious Alvin sentences Chris to die and Mr. Bonestripper.
All right, that part was funny because, yeah, he, from the court room, he goes sliding down,
and I slide it into that little roller coaster and then falls onto the conveyor belt that goes into Mr. Bonestripper.
but he kind of he was crawling like hella fast I don't know why he tried it why he didn't try to jump up
and run but um all of a sudden the machine like the the the belt the conveyor belt broke and
mm-hmm did somebody break it or did they just break I think it's just broke okay so as I think
I think by this time I think Dennis was long gone because you get a scene of him packing his bag
all right
it says the machine breaks down
and the instant before Chris
is fed into it
and he escapes
all right yeah
because the little
teeth things were going up and down
and then when it started to fall apart
they just stopped
and then he kind of just
slid through it
um
so
uh Bobo and the other fat dude
were running after
um
no they jumped in like a car or something
and they were driving after
uh
Diane, because she was running through the junkyard screaming and yelling.
And then, what's her name showed up?
The deputy.
Because she showed up and jumped in with Bobo.
What was the other guy's name?
Debo.
Yeah.
I don't think.
And jumped in with him.
And they were running.
Chris ended up, they ended up finding each other.
Chris and Diane.
So they were hauling ass running through all the junkyard.
They got through the moat, got to the other side, and then you heard a train.
So they're like, well, here, come on, let's go this way.
And then we'll make it to the train.
So while they were running and they were climbing up the rocks,
so here come the two big babies and the deputy.
And she had like an M-16s and she was just letting off rounds at them.
they jumped up to the top to the train to the train track as the train was going by
and they were running and they jumped onto the back and then the deputy made it up there
she was lighten out rounds and um they i don't know where the train went were they
ended up getting all the way back to new york city right yeah that's what it says here
it looked like they went to some like government building yeah because they made it they
they escaped they got away they went to i assume the fbi or whoever and they were telling them
the whole story on what happened uh in vulcanvania so they were like all right well let's go over
there and uh see so it was like everybody showed up i mean it was like the state police and and the
regular police they all charged over to the mansion and then uh they told uh chris and diane they're
hey, you guys need to come with us so you can, I deem.
And they're like, well, we don't want to go.
And they said, well, you have to go.
Come on.
So they ended up going with them.
They got to the house.
They go, hey, why don't you guys go up to the door and get him to come out?
So they go up and all right, they open up the door.
And then, uh, did the judge come out?
Yeah, he comes out trying to act like a super old guy.
Oh, that's right.
And they're like telling him, like, cut the act.
And then he's like, there's a Vizness behind you.
And then when they turn around, like, all the cops are like, hi, Judge Alvin.
Yeah, so they were all friends of him.
I can't remember why they all, or they all knew him.
Yeah, they said they didn't agree with the way he does things, but it's just what it is, which I was like, okay.
Yeah, so they were, they were.
like, okay, whatever.
Then all of a sudden,
the,
um,
uh,
it was like an earthquake and things started to blow up.
Oh,
they actually blew up the,
uh,
or was that later?
No,
that was before we skipped over when they escaped.
Yeah,
when they escaped.
What,
would they blow up?
He lit a,
like one of those oil cans on fire to set,
make a diversion so they can get away.
Oh,
because it blew up wherever Bobo and Diebel were at.
Because it seemed like that whole area.
blew up before they jumped on the train.
Yeah, I think somewhere in the movie,
Judge Alvin said something like the ground
was bad or something underneath.
He mentioned some kind of like mine pits.
Yeah.
So, they also mentioned something about sinkholes.
So when they were,
uh,
I assume before they could get arrested or whatever,
there was an earthquake.
And then,
because the stairs,
opened up and Diane fell in it and Chris had to pull her out and and then they everybody was ah because the judge started screaming everybody run and everybody was running in all kinds of directions and uh how'd they get away they just ran away
well because I think she fell in one of the cracks and he had to save her and then they got away and then you didn't see what happened to the judge or el dona and all the cops were running
And then it flashes forward to, I guess they're at his little penthouse.
And he looks on the news and he sees that the judge is still alive and he has his ID and he's telling everybody he was like, we're going to go live with my grandson-in-law.
And I fucking hated this ending where he just runs through the wall like a, like a cartoon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So the judge, I mean, because the judge went back into the house.
But then the whole house kind of caved in.
And the cops and everyone else just ran for it.
So, yeah, they got away.
And then, yeah, that's when they saw the news.
And he was going to go stay with his grandson's in law or whatever.
Crashing through the wall.
Dumb.
And then we go to Brazil and we see the brother and sister.
And John Candy, Officer Dennis.
He's with him.
And he's like their head of security.
So was he,
Officer Dennis hooked up with,
uh,
um,
Renova?
Yeah,
because,
because he was like,
the brother was talking about how he's the head of security.
And then the sister was like,
and my lover.
I was like,
I also,
you came out on top.
Yeah,
he did.
I mean,
he,
he was in tuxedo and living the life in the hills of Brazil.
So,
and then that was your movie.
I mean, the movie was what it was.
It's entertaining if you just like goofy.
Don't try to make sense out of it.
If you have seen it and Brian and I talking about it, you do see where the budget went.
All the sets, the special effects, the makeup and everything.
So, yeah, and I'm sure Chevy got a big huge check out of this.
Because he just acted like he didn't even want.
want to be there. But you can clearly see Dan Aykroyd was all in it and he was having the best
time of his life. To me more, I think at this point, she was like, hey, well, I'm working
with these classic comedy actors. So at times, I'm after sure it was just John Candy's character
when he was playing Officer Dennis. Because he kind of seemed like he didn't want to be there.
But when he was Eldona, I was really going for it.
So I liked his role, his dual role.
I thought he was good.
Dan Aykroyd was funny.
Chibi Cheve-chee's got on my nerves.
Demi Moore was just beautiful to look at.
The Brazilian air is Fausto and Rinalda.
They were funny every time they were on the screen.
So, but the movie is, it is what it is.
It's, you don't mind the music not being there.
You can watch the whole thing on YouTube or rent it at one of these places.
Yeah, watch it on YouTube and then go watch the Digital Underground clip after.
Yeah.
They did have a big part in it.
It wasn't like just there.
I mean, Shaggy and Humpty had lines in it.
The one line.
I can't remember what he said.
Something about crossburning crackers or something.
And then one of the other guys is like, white man's heaven.
So, I mean, Dan Aykroy wrote it.
So don't, don't get that shocked G and Humpty.
This house is extremely draclified.
But it is what it is.
I mean, early 90s and it's funny.
I mean, how often do you see the three of them in movies?
I'm reading here
it looks like the studio
wanted Chevy Chase
because Dan Aykroy was going to play
his character
oh was he
yeah that's that's what he
that's what I'm reading here
so the studio was like
let's let's get Chevy Chase in there
um
I thought Dan Akroy was good
as the judge as Judge Alvin
yeah I mean he he's funny
I mean
Dan Akra is good
no matter what you put him in
what role of him just being
yeah this movie would have been different
here says uh
the script caught the attention of Warner Brothers
who wanted John Canney to co-star
uh
Ackroy wanted to play the parts of Judge
Balkenheimer and oh he wanted to play
both the judge and Chris
and I guess the studio was like no
it would have been hard
yeah I mean he can do we've seen him play
like a snobby banker type in trading places.
That's how he wasn't.
That's right.
I'm on Rotten Tomatoes.
Tomatoes.
The tomato meter gave it a 13%.
And the audience is almost half, 47%.
But audience is usually right.
Yeah, I never really read the critics review.
because I just
I don't know
if you had
like if we were
horror reviewers
yes where we watch a billion
horror movies these people just watch
whatever's big
yeah so I don't know
here's one unfortunately
this isn't even half as fun as
the shortest bumper
car ride
whatever that means
so for the most part
however the humor depends
upon the audiences
finding the movie
movies repulsiveness funny
I mean
it was it is what it is I mean
it's goofy funny
uh
slap sticky type of
type of humor
Roger Ebert famously hated the movie so much
that he refused the right of review
after going
after giving it one of the most
emphatic thumbs down
I mean it is what it is
if you like goofy comedies
then this is this is probably for you
We were right right here.
Chevy Chase did not like the script, but took the leading row because he wanted to work with his friend, Dan Aykroy.
Yeah, I mean, I could see that.
I mean, especially those three.
I mean, those are three, two from Saturday Night Live and John Candy.
He was everywhere.
To me more, how old is she now?
She's like, got to be almost 60.
pushing 60, I would say.
58.
She didn't look that bad in, uh, was it songbird?
I was just as much to say that.
She looked hella good in that, but that movie is garbage.
I don't know what they were trying to.
I mean, it had potential until the love story and all that.
Oh, my love story in a pandemic.
Fucking Archie from Riverdale.
ride his motorcycles
yeah
but yeah
that's nothing but trouble
I'm gonna say it's your pick
huh
what do I want
do we want to laugh do we want something
serious
and we do enough horror movies
oh speaking of horror movies
this was kind of an idea that
it just came to me.
Brian and I, we do
the most out of everybody
out of both networks.
But I love all you guys.
Everyone that helps us out and does stuff.
We watch a lot of mainstream things,
new movies that come out.
But I kind of want to start doing something.
Another side one.
Just another one to add to our collection.
Uh, find horror.
It's just strictly going to be horror films.
Uh,
we're going to find horror films that we've never seen before.
But, um, the more obscure, um, stuff.
I know everybody loves this movie and it's a cult classic.
Brian and I hated it.
We didn't even finish the movie.
Um, what's that shit we saw off?
Take this Frightmare.
Uh, oh gosh.
Uh, Velocel pastor.
I, I finished it.
Oh, you did?
I couldn't go back to it.
Yeah, exactly.
So those are the type of movies we're going to find.
That we're going to bring it to you guys.
We're not going to really go for something that's,
I don't want to say mainstream or basically like B-movie type.
Yeah.
So if you guys have any suggestions, shoot them to us and we'll find them.
And we'll talk about them.
See some trauma stuff coming.
Oh, yeah.
There's a lot in there.
So, but that's what, uh, I'm not sure exactly when that's going to be, but, uh,
I also had another idea for a side show.
All right.
You and me kind of got into the, uh, short films last, uh, 31 days.
So I was thinking maybe, because there, there is a lot of horror shorts,
sci-fi horror, comedy horror, you know,
there's so many of them out there that maybe we give the listeners,
like maybe just a little quick episodes of little short horror films.
Okay.
But I don't know when that'll be coming either.
We got 20 other shows we do.
All righty, already.
Oh, man, I just said no horror.
I just immediately went to that.
You have Peacock, don't you?
Yep.
All righty.
I had to upgrade.
I got the no commercials because of the other one with commercials.
Oh, my God.
They were killing me with the commercials.
All right.
Here's one.
Film came out in 1984.
I love this movie.
It's a little goofy and everything, but it was kind of a kid thriller type of.
type of film. And this is
the Dabney Coleman
and Henry Thomas
Was that the name? Henry Thomas?
Yeah. Henry Thomas
and Dany Coleman in Cloak and
Dagger.
I have not seen that since
I don't know when.
Yeah, that was the reason I'm
picking it. I have not
seen this in forever.
I'm just kind of taking advantage
of Peacock. And
I saw that it was on there. I think it's
Disney Plus 2. I want to say I saw
it there, but I just never watched it, but yeah.
It sure is Henry Thomas.
Yeah, so
that'll be the next stream theme.
It's Cloak, 1984's Cloak and Dagger.
All right.
As far as
East Society, a new episode coming.
That's it.
But if you haven't
listened to our last episode, definitely check
that out as well as
the latest episode
of the Magnus Podcast.
29. I think that's what it was. That's out there. We just dropped ESPs Fight Society 5. That's over on anchor, or you can listen to it on Spotify or Apple Podcasts wherever you hear. Just search E Society and have at it. I always put the links on the either the East Society Facebook page or the horror returns community page. I put it on there as well as a bunch of other places. Or follow us on Twitter. There's always links.

So definitely check those out.
Brother Courtney came back to help me with Fight Society 5 and we got more because, Brian, of course, you're coming back.
I got to get the Zsuit to get it in gear and pump out a couple with me.
I don't know.
We'll see.
Hopefully I'll go see him tomorrow.
I'm not really sure yet.
As far as that, that is all that's happening with me.
So everyone, just be safe out there.
Let's get through this together, everyone.
I just see a lot of arguing and fighting in the world.
Not here, just here in America.
I mean, everywhere, everyone's at each other's throat.
With that, just be safe.
out there, everyone. Be safe and
come back next week or whenever
we put these shows out.
Brian and I do so many.
It's hard to say when they're going to be out,
but they'll be out.
Sometimes we don't even know what show we're doing.
Yeah.
Until that, everyone, please be safe and party on.
Yeah.
