Starting point is 00:01:55 We have a paramount plus subscription, so that's what we're watching this from all right super sexy royal rejects I forgot we changed your names, and we got to be religious about it royal rejects We're gonna hit play in the words of Andrew Gordon. All right, ladies and gentlemen, well, we just watched the 90s movie, The Adams Family. I want to thank Prepper for any of these highlights. This is probably a fun movie for them to edit. I hope you guys had fun editing it. And please subscribe, click that bell because we have more to do. And yes, our I think this goes up on Wildcard Wednesday, this particular video, but every Saturday, romance comedy reactions. One of the two. We do have some questions from our royal rejects
Starting point is 00:02:46 that we want to get to because we got a lot. But before that, let's give some quick opinions. Aaron, what is your first reaction thoughts? Can you please adjust your microphone to be closer to your lips? Yes, yes, yes. Yes, I can answer more style. This was fun. This was a fun 90s comedy. I think it really captured the the gothic aesthetic of the Adams family from all the things I've seen that are outside of this movie. I haven't had a ton but just through Krollstrasse, Moses, and through Wednesday I feel like they really did a good job of capturing that family. They're the, what's it called? Everything about them stays the same, but the world around them is the thing that changes.
Starting point is 00:03:28 And then going through Gordon's perspective into this and watching as he is kind of endeared to the family then ultimately revealing that he is Vester at the end. I thought it was really fun. I think all the humor and the way that all the characters were able to play the comedy straight is what made it hilarious. Kind of like a Renemy of Leslie Nielsen in an airplane, except it's not as silly as that. But yeah, the way they were able to find accessible ways for this to be entertaining for a feature length film, while staying true to the characters, that was really great.
Starting point is 00:04:01 I understand why this is a classic and I had a lot of fun with it. Definitely worth the watch. Greg, how you feel? I think it's a very, very charming movie. Folding my arms, not because I'm defensive, it's just, it's unbelievable. It's weird that we are having so many different, it's been a process here and sometimes it's boiling hot
Starting point is 00:04:21 or it's freezing cold, it's never in between. Right now it is freezing cold. It's very cold right now. I take it over boiling hot or it's freezing cold. It's never in between. Right now it is freezing cold. I take it over boiling hot honestly. It's appropriate because we're morbid like the dead. Yeah, absolutely. I'm fully with you there Aaron. Rate it way to make me feel better. So the yeah, this movie was a really good time. Like my most familiarity is the Wednesday show, which you only get tidbits of the Addams family. And like truth be told, they were one of the on my recollection, the actual Adam like seeing Gomez and Morticia, I believe I felt like they were one of the more least interesting parts of the show. But maybe on my rewatch, I'll like them more now that I have more familiarity.
Starting point is 00:05:07 But things that surprised me was like how well shot this is. That's one of the best things about it is like, yes, that on all the technical fronts, the costumes are incredible. The lighting of the use of shadows and framing and like my recollection of the of the Men in Black movies, I know that there's a quirky sensibility to Barry Seinfeld's erection, but that is such a different vibe than The Addams Family.
Starting point is 00:05:34 And I love how for a comedy movie, there's so much meticulous care into the storyboarding and knowing how to, like there was one shot I remember you pointing out when they're like bringing over the cyanide and you can see like in the in the background like a blurred moment of of Pugsley and Wednesday like torturing each other like things like that for visual comedy like the use of editing it's not just it's it's cool to watch a movie where a lot of the way the comedy is done doesn't just rely on the actors. It really does rely on how to use the camera as a character as well. And then making the house feel so alive.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Yeah, it feels like they really build a world here with a lot of themes about parenting and brotherhood. That's like one of the charming parts. It's called Adam's family. like one of the charming parts, it's called Adam's family. And they don't sacrifice the family side because as like macabre as it is as Gothic as it is as dark and twisted as it is. And as funny as it is, it the heart of family resonates throughout the performances by I mean, I see one of those things where I don't want to like, you know, completely I see a couple of
Starting point is 00:06:42 questions here that I don't want to just give away like what I want to say about it. But I'll generally like I thought everyone was perfectly cast. And I was surprised by the narrative of Gordon like I as someone who often can watch a lot of these movies and sort of predict how things might go based off structure. The thing I didn't see coming was the Gordon moment of him like falling for the family yet. As that movie, I remember when we were, as we were watching it, we both were like, this feels a little sudden, but the more you spend with Gordon and his mom, and then on top of that, to top it off with the twist of what the reveal is, it just makes perfect sense that it's not jarring at all. It's not weird. It's just in the moment. It's like, Oh, it feels like we're just coming from.
Starting point is 00:07:24 But yeah, like I think it's like a wacky good time. It's not weird. It's just in the moment. It's like, Oh, it feels like we're just coming from. Um, but yeah, like, uh, I think it's like a wacky good time. It's a wonderful music. We have to look up who the composer is. Cause you did keep asking me who the composer is and I have no idea. But, uh, yeah, this, this got me really in deer and I, I do want to watch the sequel. Like this was also really funny too and engaging is engaging throughout and every performance was brilliant. So much captured in the eyes. And I thought a lot of the comedy delivery too, like sometimes you could even see a joke is coming.
Starting point is 00:07:51 And sometimes when you see a joke is coming, that doesn't make it funny because you're aware a joke is coming, but I can never predict what the joke was going to be. It's a version of what, how you, you feel like it would typically go makes it harder. Yeah. I love the chemistry too, between, um chemistry too between Angelica Houston and Raul Julia. Like just how any moment something will sexually trigger them. Like it was funny and I could see why even though they're not like full on characters that are like super present throughout the movie, but when they are there,
Starting point is 00:08:22 particularly Christina Ricie as Wednesday, I see why she is an icon despite like maybe having 10 to 15 minutes in this movie on screen time. Like, I see why she's an icon because her delivery and her presence overall is so great. And I wonder if they use her more in this equal. Yeah. And, you know, Hollywood has a history of having kid actors that aren't so great. So for one to stand out so exponentially,
Starting point is 00:08:48 it really is impactful. Plus, yeah, she's a character you would want to follow because of how weird and obscure, just and perceptive she is as a character. I think the fact that they use her sparingly was a great strength of this movie. And yeah, do hope that she is more in the sequel. Yeah let's do some quite like is I don't know what I'd rate this movie like I guess I could have used some kind of thing of
Starting point is 00:09:14 like there was something semi missing for me and I can't I can't quite put my finger on it yet because we just react like it gives you exactly what you sort of expect. I found the stuff that wasn't with the Adams family Not as interesting not the stuff with like him and his mom but like the stuff with the lawyer and like these other side characters I weren't many immediately in the world of them. I was like, okay, let's go back to the Adams family But other than that, I was like, yeah, I enjoyed it. It's You know, it's not it's not Shakespeare. It didn't it didn't make me like go to the depths of my feels I don't think it was trying to I don't think it's fair to judge a movie on what it's not on
Starting point is 00:09:52 Something that it's not trying to be and I feel like for the most part of succeeded and everything that it was trying to Be I guess what I would have liked is to really feel When they are losing their home and shit like that Like I wanted to I like when a movie is able to surprise you with actually really caring about something like that as opposed to, like that's one of the times where I just feel like, okay yeah, we're just watching like a lighthearted comedy
Starting point is 00:10:15 and maybe you did feel for those moments, but I wish, especially when you have like the twist and Wednesday, you know, finding him, learning the truth about Fester in the, when she walks in the room, like stuff like that. I would love that if I felt some of the suspense and it is kind of cool. Like retrospect, when you think about the show Wednesday, which has comedy, but that leads so much into like the mystery and those things that I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:10:40 And it's like, that's a funny show, but like, this is primarily comedy because it's Adam's family. It's the McC the Cobb side. So I do kind of wish we had a little bit more Like actual tension to that because then I think it actually would have made the comedy even funnier But hey, that's just one little request. So yeah, let's get to it. My god. It is getting colder We're gonna we're gonna move me to distract us We want to clap before every question so it's easier for us to sync and put the image on screen because our editors are editing so much right now. So we want to make it easier on them. So instead of clapping, we're gonna snap into the mics.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Joyce Soto, first off, Greg and Aaron, love you guys and thank you for the great content. I love you personally. Second of all, would you want to be adopted into the Adams family? I would love to hang out with the Adams family. Would I want to be adopted? No, that sounds awful, honestly, but I would love to. I wouldn't want to even be their neighbors, but I would love to have to like there's so much about vibing with them. They're like, I love their their sense. It's their sense of humor. I can. Yeah, I can. I can hang out them for a couple of hours. I don't want to eat with them, though. No, no, no. That's awful. Yeah. I don't want my food to be moving and stuff. That's gross. Good. Cody Enos. Oh, nope. Cody Enos. How well can you snap your fingers? I cannot snap my left side. Really?
Starting point is 00:12:08 Nope, trying right now. Why? I've only learned how to do this when I was a kid. Snap happy. I think you can snap with these ones. Yeah. These, not as much of these, but yeah, middle and thumbs. All day, baby, both sides.
Starting point is 00:12:20 No, I don't. I always feel left out when people are like, like a poetry stuff, you know? You just get that one. I'm on the right one yeah unfortunately. Is the thing right-handed or left-handed? I think it's the right hand. All right good to know. All right next one. Mike Joyce who is your favorite character and why is it Wednesday? Is Uncle Fester your favorite Christopher Lloyd performance? These are very leading questions. Who is your favorite character in this? You got me Mike. I think it was Wednesday. For being a
Starting point is 00:12:55 child performer, I think that she did a great job and the fact that she was able to hit those comedy beats. Plus she was interesting. She was so smart, so dark and morbid at the same time. I think she's, yeah, I think just generally both Jenna Ortega and Christina Ricci play this character really well. And I can't say that Christopher, this one's my favorite of his because I, even though I don't remember the plots at all, really, I'm vaguely, I really love his performances as Doc Brown, but this was also a really good performance. That's good to know.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Makes note for the future. It's good, it's good information. I wouldn't say Wednesday's my favorite character in this movie. Oh God, it is a toss up between the husband or wife. Oh, shit. Here's what I'll say. I expected to like Raul Julia because it's Raul Julia.
Starting point is 00:13:57 I'm not that familiar with Angelica Houston. I was surprised by how much I loved her in this movie. She was great. She surprised me the most out of anyone in this movie, undoubtedly, and I loved her. I would still give the edge of my personal, I would give it to Raul Julia, yeah, as my favorite. That's a really, everyone actually has a hard job here because it's so heightened,
Starting point is 00:14:24 but you have to make it believable and sincere and they everyone did such a great job But he's really he is really the one like carrying this movie, and I don't know but sometimes I do feel like it's her but yeah, I just think I was so deliciously charmed by him like the devilish eyes and The the variations of emotion and yeah, I just love his eccentricities and idiosyncrasies. I thought he was amazing here. And yeah, I have to go to him. And no, I mean, Christopher Lloyd is definitely Doc Brown. I just know it's kind of impossible for me to top that. Like, he's a great here. He's incredible in this movie. No, like I love his performance as someone who is trying to stay in in character, like be to be in, you know, undercover.
Starting point is 00:15:13 But then also like trying to survive to the odd like, how can I possibly make it out of this? You know, yeah. And then he brought the heart, you know, when he's bonding with the children and stuff. I was like, this is weird. But then as it went on, I was like, aw man, I really feel for this guy. And he was the character I felt the most for.
Starting point is 00:15:31 So usually I would get the edge to the character I felt the most for, but no, my favorite would be relatively. Yeah, he's the eye-view character. And yeah, I liked Christopher Lloyd playing a guy playing Fester, and then the small difference in performance when he's actually playing Fester. I really appreciated that. But yeah I would say Roel, Julia and Jellekeeson were my second, third and then Christopher Lloyd would be my fourth favorite. Daphner, hello Greg and Aaron. Hope you're having a wonderful day. I was wondering
Starting point is 00:16:04 if there's any shows from this era that you think could be revitalized now for audiences today I'm thinking you could do Fresh Prince Bel Air, but it's a serious drama From that error, I don't know any shows from that air 40s as a black and white show wasn't it? I I don't know any shows from that era. Like, I think you would butcher I Love Lucy. Ooh. I heard, I remember the Fairly Brothers did the Three Stooges movie, which tanked.
Starting point is 00:16:35 I'd never seen it, but I've heard it is surprisingly better than one might expect. Really? Yeah, I've never seen it. I don't think I have either, but I grew up on the original one. Did you? So, I might as seen it. I don't think I have either but I grew up on the original ones. Did you? I might as well show me them. Yeah
Starting point is 00:16:47 Yeah, I mean it seems like really hard to top Rob Zombie tried the Munsters My mind went animated. I'd be curious to see like an updated version of the Jetsons. See how we like handle that today Oh, did we never do a live-action? No, they never did live-action only Flintstonesstones did I've never seen the Flintstones oh I vaguely remember from the 90s but I don't think they're publicly loved or maybe they maybe there's like a nostalgic factor to it I don't know I know it seems like we found an error here for Greg and Aaron reactions these like nostalgia trips that are adaptations of famous cartoons. Yeah. I'm not mad at it. I like that. Did they ever do? I don't know if they did Jetsons, but
Starting point is 00:17:29 yeah, I would. A Jetsons would probably be the best choice. Yeah. That's a great pick, especially, you know, with the populated, fantastic forward doing that retro 60 thing. If that really takes off, it'd be a perfect time to do a Jetsons thing. That's a great call, Aaron. That's an amazing call. Jackson Ryan, growler on, would you like to see a new trilogy of Adam's Family films as a spinoff from General Ortega's Wednesday or would you prefer a whole new cast? What's your preference?
Starting point is 00:17:56 I'd probably prefer a whole new cast. I remember liking Wednesday, but I don't think I remember liking the actor who plays Gomez in that show, as Gomez. But it's been a minute, so I could be wrong, but I think generally a new cast, a new film cast would be probably best, because I think the part of the charm is that they're two little kids, and in that show, Jennifer Ortega is already like a teenager. So yeah, let's go brand new with it.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I really feel like the Wednesday show was a very specific voice and tone and intention. So I don't feel like they'd be able to pull... I don't think it would complement doing like a trilogy from that Addams Family there. In fact, I felt like a kind of conflicted... I'm just going off of emotional memory. I could feel like totally different when I re-watch it. But yeah, I felt like they were like, yeah, we have to have the parents in there because it's Adam's family. But I felt like the, I didn't feel charmed
Starting point is 00:18:55 or complimented by it. So I would prefer if they do a new trilogy of films of live action that they do do a new cast. But after Wednesday's over, honestly. Otherwise it'll just be compared and shit pet my chicken gothic movies are my favorite genre of movies glad you guys are watching Adam's family if you could choose one Adam's family cork to have which would it be Aaron oh I love to speak cousin it okay yeah
Starting point is 00:19:24 speak cousin it just grow my locks fully down to my feet. I'll just be a giant cousin it that speaks in gibberish. A quirk to have God that's hard. I want to it's not really a court but I just want his golfing skills. He just seems so incredible at it. Yeah, macaculate aim. Immaculate aim.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Getting that cereal. Or Pugsley's ability to survive anything, apparently, at such a young age. Yeah. Yeah. Right, drinking poison, getting electrocuted. Yeah, that's a strong one. Get that immortality in. Jay Rashdon, Aaron, question, what Addams family are you
Starting point is 00:20:08 the most alike? That's a good question. Appreciate you, Jay. You're a cousin of it. That's me. Yeah, man, long hair. Let's go. That's long hair for the win. Uh, yeah, I don't know if I personally, outside of that, really feel kinship to any of them, but I like watching them, so that's why I'm going cousin it. What about you? Uh, in this movie, I mean, it might be why he's my favorite too is it would be Gomez, you know, having to the times where you have to lead, but also like the love of your wife. Like I, I constantly talk in private conversations with people about my wife all the time, about how much I love her. Like if there's one concept that I feel happy about that I'm happily married guy. So yeah, I would, I would say because of that. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Bia, I believe John said in a podcast episode that Wednesday, Adam was his childhood crush and I completely get it. Yes, he did. This character aspired. I didn't realize the influence this character had. This character aspired me to be my weird self since the first time I saw her on screen. Which character do you find the most interesting and relatable?
Starting point is 00:21:28 Most interesting and relatable. Are we going, if we're going just based off of this movie? I'll go off this movie. Yeah, that's fair. I would say Gomez, because I feel like kind of go back to what you said, at least with your experience, but I can also resonate the love of family
Starting point is 00:21:44 and the love of, you love of your siblings as well. I really love my siblings and I love my lady. So yeah, I would say that one. For me, it's like, I would say Gomez for sure, for both those answers, but I mean, honestly, a lot about like what Christopher Lloyd does in this movie of the person in me who is seeking approval and, you know, feeling out of place a lot of the time and trying to fit in. There's a lot I connected
Starting point is 00:22:20 to with that. So for just this specific question, I would go with void. All right. Cammy. Hi, Cammy. Okay. As you know, Wednesday with Jenna Ortega has been the buzz these past few years. I'm not sure if Aaron because I know Gregor act to do on the channel has seen it as a general sense of what the show is like. But do you think it manages to capture the essence of the films? That's question number one. Let's go with that. Do you feel like it captures the essence of the films? I mean, I feel like Wednesday, the show probably has to capture the essence of Adam's family, not so much these specific films. Aaron.
Starting point is 00:22:58 It's been a minute since I've watched the Evans family. I can't speak for the show as a whole, but I feel like Wednesday feels energetically like the same character. I can believe that the Wednesday from the show had the similar or same experiences as the one in this movie, and it can be like a continuation as far as life events go. So I would say as far as that goes, yeah, I don't know, again, I haven't seen it since it first came out. So it's been a few years, but I remember, yeah, that pretty much.
Starting point is 00:23:30 I can't remember how the Addams family feels comparison to this Addams family. But yeah, that's that's what I would say. Yeah, most of the rest of the question is because in a way I feel much of what the Addams family is and the values they stand for in their morbid way was lost on the show. I would agree. And I remember not connecting with what they're doing. I'm curious to know if you like the thought of taking a concept and rewriting it to fit current, fit current the generation with messages or lack thereof, in my opinion, they can handle.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Or if you guys like this bold approach to the Addams family. Oh, my God. Yeah, I prefer if they do Addams family that they just like commit to the boldness of it and not try to like fit into some generational box. I feel like that's the true charm of it. Like the one thing you probably have to update to make sure it can be accessible would be humor. And like, I didn't feel like this was even dated in its humor, like this from 91, but it's still very effective. But I think, I feel like for anything, they can go even more morbid, they can go even more Maca, they can go even more Gothic
Starting point is 00:24:31 if they did like a modern day rendition, but I don't feel like it has to be something to fit in with this generation. No, a lot of it to have its own voice doesn't necessarily need to have a whole lot of contemporary references, but I feel like with audiences being more open to weirder experiences, I feel like you could up that weird factor. And hell, I don't know if the Daniels would do it, but yeah, get
Starting point is 00:24:54 someone who's like really obscure as a director and throw it in their lane. Yeah. Really, I feel like James Gunn could pull it off. Yeah, that's a good golf. Hell yeah. KevB, the Adamses are far from what society considers normal. They celebrate their quirks and oddities instead of hiding them. How does the film use humor and its contrast with the outside world to challenge your own assumptions about fitting in?
Starting point is 00:25:21 Did you find yourself drawn to the world or did their brand of weirdness make you want to keep your distance? What does your reaction say about your own comfort with embracing the Kooky in real life? Aaron? That's a good question. What does it say about embracing the Kooky in real life? I feel like I embrace the Kooky. I think I like weird people.
Starting point is 00:25:47 I hang around artists and people that are sort of abstract. And I think that, yeah, I dig it. I dig the vibe. And this is a multi-part question. Does humor use its contrast with the outside world to challenge your own assumptions about fitting in. I don't know, I feel like when it comes to fitting in, it really, yeah, depends on the setting.
Starting point is 00:26:14 I don't know, I feel like I don't typically like to hang around places I don't feel drawn to. So yeah, I don't know if that fully answers your question, but that's how I feel. I can be a pretty judgmental guy, honestly, and that's my nature. That's the nurturing I actually had growing up. And because of that, I've had to really work on myself
Starting point is 00:26:38 to be someone that when I'm having that, to have the opposite thought, intentionally challenge my own thoughts and intention. And that's what I feel like makes me an all right guy in life because I'm someone where my nurture is that had I had I've really actively worked to change as a person. So when those thoughts do arise because yeah, I remember like growing up being around theater kids, I would be like very judgmental towards like how fucking weird they are. Like these are the weirdest people. And but as I, as I've gotten older,
Starting point is 00:27:11 but but like through growing up, you know, like I have found that they are not just theater kids, but anyone who is actually able to stay true to themselves, despite how weird or odd they are. What I don't like is something where it feels like they're putting up an act. What I don't like is if it feels disingenuous or like you're trying something or you're like loud and annoying because you think that's like I'm channel, I'm trying to be an energy that I'm not really not like, I'm not a fan of that. But like weirdness, darkness, no, I could totally vibe with that. You know, like I think that's like such a blast. And then that's the one thing I always want to encourage with people is for them to just be themselves
Starting point is 00:27:49 as much as they can authentically be themselves, you know? And I think like, I like the actors like that. That's why I, you know, this might be a controversial thing to say now, but that's why I think a lot of people, myself included, were obsessed with Johnny Depp because he was such a weird guy. And he made
Starting point is 00:28:06 weird like acceptable you know in a lot of ways so I love so this this film I don't feel like challenge me in that regard and I feel like a Greg earlier would have been challenged and but no I mean I was watching this like, I would totally hang out with these guys. I feel like these guys would make me laugh. So yeah, I would love to hang out with a group like this. Anything that actually feels like it's from a genuine spot I can completely vibe with as long as it's genuine. That's like my basic take.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Last one, Tim Pierce, as a group, are you more Fantastic Four or Adam's family? Are you asking as real rejects or as like individual families? I'm guessing they're asking as real rejects. Yeah. It's a good question. I think we're Fantastic Four.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Because we all have individual strengths that are different from one another. And we bond, we shoot, and we laugh and cry together. I don't know if that's fantastic for him, but what do you think? I think we're more out of a family. Yeah. I mean, none of us are like hooking up or something, but hooking up in something, but I think looking up in the Adams family, no, I mean, they're the parents and stuff. Oh, okay. But, uh, I mean,
Starting point is 00:29:31 fantastic for us a little more found family. So I guess I would make more sense, but Adam's family, I'm like, no, we're actually all kind of like odd and we have to deal with our weird personalities and when there's like, uh, you know, strife or tension that can arise from that. But we're all trying to just a lot of us feel like, you know, it's different like the editors know for sure they have to edit with different energies and different vibes and different personality quirks. And a lot of the time it is a challenge to just try to be yourself as much as possible when the camera is rolling and not try to try. And so and sometimes you're
Starting point is 00:30:06 trying without realizing, oh shit, I'm trying, you know, it's really hard to be aware of that. So I would say like, you know, we're all a little bit like quirky and odd and we'd like to lean into that, you know, we're doing like live streams and things are not going well. If it's buffering and you can't hear us and you can't see us, that's going to piss me off. But if something else is going wacky, like we're just like sweet opportunity, you know, like we like the wackiness of it. And like and the families don't really have missions to save lives, you know, like, yeah, we're just trying to connect. That's all they care about is connecting the Addams Family. And that's how I think we're just about connecting. Yeah, no. I think they're more scientific,
Starting point is 00:30:48 we're fantastic for. But now that I'm thinking about it, there's a video that's probably going to come out on socials that captures a weird moment between Tara and I. So I feel like when it comes to just weirdness and kookiness and us bonding, yeah, I would agree with that. Yeah, Tara would fit in the Fantastic Four. Come on, she's totally Addams Family. Fair, valid, valid, valid, valid. Anyway, do you think Tara would fit in the Fantastic Four? Come on, she's totally Adam's family vibe.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Fair, valid, valid, valid, valid. Anyway, that's it for today.
