Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With Austin Powers 4 in development, Aaron & Johnald RETURN to give their Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me Reaction, Recap, Analysis, & Spoiler Review! Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey dive into the outrageous world of 1999’s raunchy spoof comedy classic, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, directed by Jay Roach. The sequel to Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery brings back Mike Myers (Wayne’s World, Shrek) in triple duty as groovy spy Austin Powers, the maniacal Dr. Evil, and the bizarre Fat Bastard. Joining him is Heather Graham (Boogie Nights, Drugstore Cowboy) as Felicity Shagwell, Austin’s new partner in espionage, alongside Michael York (Logan’s Run, Cabaret) as Basil Exposition and Robert Wagner (Hart to Hart) as Number Two. Rob Lowe (Parks and Recreation, St. Elmo’s Fire) also hilariously plays the younger version of Number Two, while Seth Green (Family Guy, Robot Chicken) returns as Scott Evil, and Verne Troyer delivers one of cinema’s most iconic comedy sidekicks as Mini-Me. This outrageous sequel finds Dr. Evil traveling back to the 1960s to steal Austin’s mojo, forcing Powers and Felicity to stop him in a time-travel romp filled with over-the-top parody, ridiculous gadgets, and quotable one-liners. Famous scenes include the introduction of Mini-Me, Fat Bastard’s “I eat because I’m unhappy” gag, and the groovy “mojo” storyline that cemented the movie as a pop culture phenomenon. With outrageous humor, cheeky spy send-ups, and a now-legendary soundtrack featuring Madonna’s “Beautiful Stranger,” this entry remains one of the most beloved comedies of the late ‘90s.

More on them very soon.
Let's watch Austin Powers.
Oh, my.
Okay, before we read a couple questions, just a general thought.
Did this movie make you horny, baby?
Yeah, my God.
Did it make you Randy, baby?
Yeah.
Yes, yes.
It did make you, it made you horny open.
Check it.
Just check it.
There's some titillating scenes.
There's some titillating moments.
Very titillating.
So I wouldn't blame you if you did.
If you were.
Did it make you round?
Yes.
I am quite Randall at this moment.
I'm randolized.
I'm Randall Park.
I don't even understand.
Oh my.
Randulated.
But yeah.
Before we get into the things, how this will make you feel, man?
It made me, I had.
Good time.
It was fun.
I mean, it definitely is consistent with the previous one in terms of its brand of comedy.
For sure.
But it was nice to be back in the 60s.
It was nice to be, you know, on the moon and, you know, just taking the concept and, you know,
both doing all the sort of requisite bits that we've come to expect from the first movie,
but also just having more fun with the wacky 60s spy movie vibe.
Yeah, that's a good time.
Yeah.
How about you?
Yeah, it was cool.
It was a lot of fun.
I know that there were some stuff that I've seen either from my childhood
or remnants of my cultural osmosis with a fat bastard in.
And meaning me.
People, kids, like, when this came out, I remember, like, kids were always quoting
fat bastard, always doing this.
Oh, it was getting my belly in my belly.
I vaguely remember just the two of us.
Talking about crap.
somebody gave me the bigger chunks of corn and my crap thing at some point people would sing the
the baby bag yeah uh-huh yeah it was it was fun it was fun definitely totally consistent with
the first one i know why this is a cold classic uh yeah i i want to say like the first one slightly
more but i really appreciate all the flourishes in this one um just with even the i like the
the will
feral bit a little bit more
and this one I thought it was really funny
the diversity of the having the
three questions in a row
before you actually answers
that was a funny getting hurt yeah
yeah this movie definitely
it's like
70% story 30% bit
and I respect it for that
yeah I think it's a formula
that has proven to make this a cold classic
and yeah it continues to be a good time
sure in fact here was
Let's jump right into questions then because Michael Medina Couturio wants to know.
Jaron, hey guys.
Hey, you.
Thanks for chiming in.
What did you think of this one compared to the first?
Heather Graham was the highlight of the movie from me, Fat Baster,
and many me make their debut and definitely debut and definitely deliver as well.
Of the new characters, were there any faves?
Ooh, yeah, I felt like mini me and Fat Baxter were definitely my faves.
I like the, I think I like the first girl more.
I think Vanessa was it?
Yeah, Elizabeth Hurley.
Yeah, because I feel like there's a little bit more dynamic there with like them falling in love.
And she was like, no, you can't do that.
It's the 90s.
And then she like falls for his charms or Heather Graham was for him for the jump.
Yeah, she's much more on his wavelength.
So there's less of that like friction happening.
Yeah.
And I missed that bit of friction and the satisfying culmination of the two of them.
But, you know, she's still, she's still fun, you know, I feel like she, she leads with her sexual charms, her mojo, if you will.
And, you know, that was fun just watching the playoff of each other.
But yeah, definitely a fat bastard admitting me were my favorite new editions.
What about you?
Yeah.
I'm trying to think who else, who else did we get?
I mean, it was fun to have Robert Roblo playing Robert Wagner just for, you know, he just kind of showed up and did it.
uh part of me almost expected like more insanity out of that um but yeah i mean unless i'm forgetting
anybody yeah i feel like your your main introductions or fat bastard minnie me and felicity uh mini me is
obviously the most endearing and adorable because he's just like a little creature um i like
i do i really liked her energy i really like what she brought to it i like the concept a lot
i had a lot of fun watching her i think they could have done maybe a little bit more with the fact
that she's like
an American intelligence agent
and I don't know
like I think yeah
it's it's fun to me
to have a you know
romantic interest who's also like
in some ways is equal
and she you know
very is clearly inspired by his brand
of spy work
so I like that as a game
I just think that yeah like there were
instances and moments
where they could have
just thrown a little bit more flavor
on to what she had to do
on screen yeah and i feel like awesome did more spy stuff from the first one they did in this one
a little bit yeah yeah yeah that was another a bit uh a bit missing for me in this one i mean not
let's say that i didn't enjoy it but i like the he's the spy the the 60s groovy spy so
yeah i enjoyed uh that stuff i enjoy that aspect of of watching his character do stuff because he's
he's silly but he's also good at what he does yeah yeah yeah yeah and i think
think I like I appreciate that I think they could have maybe distributed some of that more evenly between the two of them at times just so that because so they can both again like be the team the pair of spies you know who are I don't know I feel like in a bond when you whenever you come across one of these characters who's like not just a femme fatale love you know bond girl but who is actually like an agent who is you know on a similar level but who is equally free with their inhibition.
and things yeah I feel like they gave more to Dr. Evil and his side of the story in this one they did the Austin Powers but even the Austin Powers are still very prevalent in the movie but yeah I would I would say those are the things that I like and those those are my reasons for liking the first one more yeah yeah I mean yeah it's I'm trying to I'm trying to choose I think the first one has at least that crackle of like okay it's it's fresh and it's new you know there's a moment I never you know I never got bored I was never like counting the minutes or anything
There were some moments in the, you know, three quarters of the way point where it's like, you know, you kind of know what's happening, you know what the movie's doing.
And there's not quite as much, like, there are new characters to add new bits and stuff like that.
But yeah, like, you know, you kind of, in terms of like what the movie is doing in its own dynamics, you know, there's not as much sort of building past a certain point.
but yeah i mean i feel like this was still really much in the spirit and really fun and uh i would put
them kind of neck in neck it's like there are certain elements of this one that i appreciate
that could bump it up to my to to being of my favor a little bit more than one there's certain
things i like about one a little bit more than this i'm going to have to reflect on that a little bit
um but i had a great time watching both for sure um thank you very much for inquiring though
and uh hey let's move on to brian reed
Do you think Minnie Me was the best addition to the Austin Power series so far?
He is my favorite.
Yeah, I thought he was great.
I thought he did a really good job.
He was hilarious with his minimal lines with mostly physical comedy.
My favorite bit was probably him like humping the laser.
That was hilarious to me.
I'm surprised they didn't go a bit longer with that bit.
I know this, these movies so far have had a trend of like kind of stretching their bits out.
it's part of the comedy like push like pushing it to the point where it's funny it's not funny and then
they've done it so long it wraps wrap back wraps back around to funny again yeah so i think that
would have been one for me um that could have worked but yeah i do i mean yeah i think of the three
obviously like fab bastard bastard bastard is supposed to be off putting uh i get a highly quotable uh you know
it's not my the first kind of humor i reach for as my favoritist uh and i do think that
Me was fun because you've got this mirror aspect of the performance where he and Mike Myers have to play off each other in that way. And also he gets to be this, again, little creature man. And there's a lot of stuff that's done with him that doesn't rely on dialogue, which is always a fun kind of prospect and idea to me. So, yeah, I would say, I mean, like, I thought all the editions were good. I mean, in some ways, I really like Heather Graham a lot. I don't,
expect her to stick around
I don't feel like any
it's the kind of franchise where obviously
the trope is that like whoever the
prominent female character was
last time is probably not going to be back this time you know
it's the rare James Bond
that features a returning
love interest of any
kind yeah or romantic
physical prospect
yeah but they'll probably make some kind of joke about it
this movie so far as soon to be very tongue-in-cheek
about their their tropes
and like is she going to become a fembi
also for the next
one or something like that. I do appreciate
that at least Elizabeth Early was here to do
the Fembaid thing. Yeah, that was very
fun. But yeah, Mini Me, definitely a good
audition. Addition, sorry, to the Austin
Powers series. Absolutely.
And I caught it, clearly,
clearly a good idea because
cultural osmosis, you know Mini Me,
without even having to watch the movies.
Exactly, no. It was one of the highlights
that stand the test of time.
Yeah, and when he showed up the first time, I had
forgotten, and then I was like, oh,
Oh shit, like a bunch of just, yeah, feelings from the moment back when came flooding back.
But yeah, thank you, Brian.
Let's move on to Captain Fernandez.
Don't worry, I'm kind of off-roading.
Okay.
I'm kind of trying to sculpt based on topics.
So Captain Fernandez wants to know that the series relies on a lot of tropes from spy films in the 1960s,
approximately 30 years from when the movies were made.
If an equivalent spoof series was made today,
what to spy and action tropes from the late 80s and 90s
would you like to see?
I don't know.
That's a quality question.
I wish I saw more like 80s, 90s movies
to give you a proper, you know, thing about this.
But, you know, there's tons of tropes that they can...
I mean, there's tons of, yeah,
there's tons of fashion and there's tons of like architectural earmarks i mean if it's the 80s i guess
everyone would have to be and the 90s you could have everyone doing cocaine uh you know um goodness
i guess we yeah is so an equivalent spoof series made today what spy and action tropes yeah okay
i guess an action movie i don't know maybe it's more of a superhero trope but the 2010s really
like to do i don't know this isn't exactly on the question but if we're going to trope movie things
the sky beam sky beams we got away from sky beams yeah the most think what are there a spy action
trope I mean like I'm trying to think what like fast and furious but that's that's later that that's
2010's tropes and stuff like that yeah oh golly the use of house of pain just at any point
jump jump around okay just would have to be there sure yeah um golly yeah I guess yeah the the crazy
fashions you have a lot of shoulder pads a lot of bright colors a lot of big loud patterns um i mean
machismo i guess you for the 80s and 90s you're dealing with like i'm like bad boys yeah so a lot
of slow mo for sure a lot of big explosions or guys don't look back at them yeah a lot of cool
ass shots a lot of yeah a lot of like swooping angles and like girls butts and like five angles on
an explosion
um freaking gadget i mean gadgets have only gotten crazy gadgets galore right i feel like
would you do would it still be like the maybe we can do a buddy cop a buddy cop parody would
be fun dude of the 80s and 90s if like those were 80s 90s were like the time for the the
the buddy cop odd couple starsky and hutch the movie definitely has that i would say i am not
star skiing hutch is yeah is like a
perfect buddy cop movie spoof oh yeah i want to watch that yeah and that movie did a 21 jump street
i think before 21 jump street did which is like let's do a reboot but it's funny but it's still
kind of the thing were they doing like a dukes of hazard kind of thing uh i haven't seen the
the movie version of dukes of hazard but i kind of assume probably i think i don't know if dukes
of hazard the movie maybe tried to more because you know duke's of hazard they're like rowdy
So, like, I could imagine that movie trying to more authentically capture what Dukes of Hazard was.
Whereas, like, Starskin, Hutch, I don't think was a comedy show.
It was like an actual buddy cop show.
So the movie is definitely, like, making a...
Oh, those are real things, Star Sken Hutch.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's real.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because the car and the two guys and, yeah, it's...
I'm going to look that up after now.
Yeah, yeah, God.
Okay, well, anyway, guys, if you've got any spoof 80s, 90s,
spy action tropes
uh leave them down below i mean i would have to imagine a lot of stuff borrowing from the
pierce brosnan bonds for sure uh and yeah more
puny titles in there yeah i feel like a lot of the tropes would probably be similar you
would just have more brooding heroes they would be more buff they wouldn't be as hairy obviously
that would be like greasy and hairless probably and one of the movie is too dead to die yeah
and you would get more verbose yeah your your hero would get more
verbose or have there will be more people
doing cool monologue I'm thinking of Pulp Fiction
you know like cool monologues and shit
yeah and uh
someone who's comically stoic yeah
and yeah the back story
I mean part of me is thinking like you know hot shots
does stuff that spoofs on like oh
you know got to bring you back from
you know for one last mission from your
hermit you know mountain top
hideaway where you've disappeared to for the last 30 years
there's lots options yeah like the
I'm too old for this trope you know
I guess again that goes back to the buddy cop thing
but yeah there's a lot of options and I would love to see all of them
absolutely thank you cap

than I am. So anyway, thank you guys
for bearing with my
hairbrainedness. I'm curious
what y'all's
favorite gag of the movie was
and my personal
favorite is definitely the tent gag
but I can't wait for
these reactions. I watched these movies over
and over as a kid. I could see why.
So I wonder like, that's the thing is
like I was not
given these at the time they were out
you know, as a kid.
So I'm retroactively jealous.
Favorite gag of the move.
I think mine would be the one with World Farrell
or maybe humping the laser.
But I also like just the two of us song,
but that was fun.
I thought that it tickled me
when they kept doing the exquisite corpse,
the sort of like the satellite
that looks like a guy is Johnson.
Get over here.
you know like and just the continuing yeah handing off of that uh it's always really impressive
when they do the like silly naked like oh what are we going to place in frame or have somebody
pick up to you know obscure his naughty bits um and just the trope of him losing his mojo as a physical
like substance was very funny to me uh but i mean it's hard to fault the 10 gag honestly yeah and
and and not that it was
always like the joke but I think they did a lot of just great split screen you know
Mike Myers and Mike Myers together gags you know and I think it's funny and fun and
interesting that in this movie it's like finding out last time that Jim Carrey was who
they had in mind to play Dr. Evil for this franchise then to become a thing where it's like
Mike Myers everybody you know he's not only Austin and Dr. Rehman and he's a fat bastard and now
he's also another Austin on screen and you get both the sets of teeth so I just think it's
funny that they took what wasn't originally
intended and made it like a major
trope of this franchise. It's funny.
Yeah, no, I think they did a great
job with that. Absolutely.
Yeah, let us know your favorite
tropes in the comments, or make your favorite
gags in the comments, y'all. All right,
let's see. We got
Jay Rushden. Thank you, Jay.
Favorite spy gadget in the
movie. Mine is the exploding
pen. If you click wrong, it
blows up. So this is like
any spy movie.
or uh i remember exploding pen no i guess it's just any any old spy movie gadget then
what do you got i'm always fan of like watch ones like watch gadgets where they got like
something protruding coming out there's why there's a good one and i don't know if it's in it must
be in one of the movies and i think in golden eye you could get a watched it's also like a grappling
hook oh you can like shoot a little cable out of it and like swing oh that's cool it's pretty six
I love that.
I would definitely pick that.
Didn't, many of me had like a little gadgety, like shot Wolfrow on the neck with it.
Yeah, I can't remember what it.
A little blow dart is a little, yeah.
Which I guess is just what it's just, it's, I feel like part of the fun of spy movies is always like, yeah, it's like, oh, it's lipstick, but it's actually a microphone or like this thing is a little camera, you know, or something.
Something like wacky.
Like, I don't want like a, like a tie.
that if you're like near water
you can take your tie off and turns into a raft
that's a great idea
holy crap that's a great
spy gadget you can
be fun yeah you keep your
your tie with you any time and
whenever it's water
water uh danger time
you're safe baby yeah
ooh or any time in a spy
well it's gotten out of hand but there was a time
where they would give you like a
contact lens
oh yeah it's got cool
friggin computer readouts
or some kind of bad man had yeah he did he did and they made that a lot more plausible than
i've seen it many a time past a certain point yeah um golly crazy i pulled up a list
a whole list of thing yeah like oh the exploding gum is a cool one exploding gum yeah i always
Remember that?
Yeah, you got to, what, chew both sides together to activate it or whatever?
Something like that.
Something like that.
Oh, my goodness gracious.
Yeah, or anything that's like a little reel-to-reel tape recorder.
Spycraft gadgets.
Man, that's another one.
Comment yours below, gang.
Okay.
Roby Bobarp Pirate.
For John and Aaron Austin Powers, a spy who shagged me.
Hi, guys.
How's it going?
We are doing well.
today I have a serious question
and a stupid question
number one
no such thinking the stupid question
well we'll see
if you could time travel
without any consequences
and paradox like Austin
when and where
that was a gag
to your previous question too
I thought that was very funny
the whole like
them looking into the camera
being like
don't think about the time travel
mechanics
don't ask any of these questions
about how any of this shit works
just go with it
that was fun
if you could
time travel without any consequences
and paradoxes like Austin, when
and where would you go
and why? Where'd you go?
Golly!
I would go
to the
I would go
back to when did the
Salem Witch
Trials to I would go to the 1690s
and I would see
if that shit was real
and to what extent it went down.
So what you want to get,
watch when you get burned at the stake?
I mean, I would try and intervene.
You try to intervene?
I would try and stop the way.
By yourself?
That's right.
What would you use to like try to...
I have no idea.
I don't know.
I would get a bigger torch
and a bigger pitchfork.
Use your 21st century technology
to spook them all the way.
Time travel to any consequences
and paradoxes like Austin.
Where would you go and why?
I guess I would go back to just a couple of different points in my life
where I would like have particularly strong regrets.
And I would just like try and pull myself aside and be like, hey, talk to this person.
I'm like, hey, go take this opportunity.
Hey, I feel like.
Would you be looking at yourself?
Would you like come as yourself?
Would you disguise yourself?
Or would you be like, this is me telling you?
If there are no consequences and paradoxes, yeah, I would just show up.
because if I show up to me and I have that experience,
I'm like, oh, my God, it's me.
Then I'll believe me, I guess.
I'd be more inclined to believe me than if I came in some random disguise.
That's, yeah, that makes sense.
I get better through to myself.
Ooh, yep, I got a few of those.
I would do.
I'm like, hey, stay away from that person.
Hey, you stick on this track.
Hey.
I'm trying to come up with like a good answer.
Don't step in that puddle.
I wish I wished I didn't kill that fish
um golly
I might just go back to when I was working haunted houses
clock in for myself
and just relive that moment again
yeah it'd be fun to relive Comic-Con 2018
2019
but we're going like real wacky with it
and not within our own lives
I think it'd be cool to go to like
go seeing Josephine Baker in her prime
you know get out of America
out of America because, you know, the thing is, being, being of my complexion and being
of my ethnicity, you don't really get a lot of opportunities that are friendly to you going
back in time.
So you got to have to go forward or go to other countries where it's, you know, a little
bit more welcomed.
So I think, you know, going to see Josephine Baker, not in America, it could be really a good
time.
Also, going back to the 90s.
Yeah, you see what the 90s are all about.
wear cell phones you know jump around
wear some big pants go live the
90s adult life yeah
go see what that was like
oh shoot yeah
take me back I want to go back
yeah some fun 70s clubs would be cool
or you know it would be also really dope
seeing certain movies
in theaters are really popular to see
what that would be sick
go to the opening night of so many movies
oh yeah dude oh man I would travel back
I wanted to see the white stripes.
I was getting tickets to see the white stripes
at the Greek theater
during the Akey Thump era
and then they disbanded.
I never got to see the white stripes.
So I would go back in time
to a point at which I was sure I could
see the white stripes and then I would see them play.
That's a great answer.
That would be pretty sick.
I would fill in that gap for myself.
I don't want to see Independence Day in theaters.
That would be a lot of fun.
I reacted to it.
But that's one of my things.
favorite reactions ever done that was an amazing film um yeah dude that's probably be one of them and
