The Weekly Planet - Son Of The Mask - Caravan Of Garbage

Episode Date: June 3, 2021

Look. We all agree that The Mask was an absolute flawless classic 1994 screwball comedy. Which is why it came as a shock to all that the 2005 sequel Son Of The Mask is also bad. Sorry I mean just bad. This time Jamie Kennedy, plus a baby plus a dog take on the roll of The Mask and let me tell you something , the hilarity is at 11 (out of 1000). They shouldn't have made this and this is a truly awful movie.

Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. Mason, you son of the mask. We're back to talk about Son of the Mask. Oh, you got me already. I love it. So last week we talked about The Mask, a movie I do not like and probably received a lot of flack for, and a movie that you thought was not without its charm and horniness.

Speaking of a movie that is not with its charm, but still a little bit of horniness, plenty of horniness, I'll be honest. In a way, yeah. Folks, if you're looking for a movie that features a series of nut shots, a veritable torrent of piss, you're in for a treat with Son of the Mask, a movie which I had not seen.

And boy, has it changed my view on things? I don't know. Yeah, it's definitely altered some of my brain chemistry. Leave a like if you could because we are talking about, of course, the much anticipated, but also by the time this kind of went into... By who? Creeps? Perverts?

I think also by the time this went into production and more information came out about it, nobody was interested in another kind of Jim Carrey minus Jim Carrey sequel. No, there's already been a couple of those, haven't there? Or maybe there hadn't. Maybe Evan Almighty wasn't out at this point at various others. But famously, Jim Carrey said, look, I'm not coming back for this after Ace Ventura 2.

He was like, I don't want to do any more sequels. That has obviously changed since then. So, you know, off the back of that, we get a great cast. We've got Bob Hoskins. I meant to write Tiny Little Odin, but I wrote Tony Little Odin, which is fine. That's fine. Alan Cumming, who I genuinely think is pretty good

in this. Bob Hoskins is in this. He's Odin. Is he? Huh. Probably should have looked up the cast before we started this. Don't worry about it. Stephen Wright, Cal Penn, there's some names in it. Some people you thought maybe were from the Australian teen drama series Heartbreak High. It actually turned out they were from the Australian TV drama series Head Start.

Easy mistake to make. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You mean one of the stars of The Wannabes. Not Drasic is what I'm saying. Not Drasic from Heartbreak High. I love Drasic. Right? Yeah.

He's in a DC movie and a Marvel movie. Not many people get that. That's right. Yeah. And here's the thing, when this movie came out, you mentioned the loss of goodwill from the previous movie.

I think the reason I didn't go to see this at the cinemas, having really enjoyed the last one, was because it was like, they were introducing a baby, et cetera. And having watched this, I do respect what this movie was trying to do,

which is make a buck by riding on the coattails of a better movie. But the other thing that I do respect that it was trying to do was it was trying to do like a Wile E. Coyote versus the Roadrunner, but in live action. The problem with this movie is it takes almost an hour to get to that, and there is so much filler in at the start. And it's just, we have,

you know, obviously because the son of the mask, we have to get another mask. Got to get him in there. A big, a big head is, is what the character was originally called. And Jamie Kennedy is not as good.

No, he's not. And I want, I don't want to talk about the casting of him in particular, but yeah, that element of the baby versus the dog, it's a good idea, genuinely. And I think it's one of those things where they've done it

in like a Cats and Dogs movie. And probably look who's talking and whatever. Like it's a tried and true thing that if you did this hyper amplified kind of universe, then yeah, this could work. But like you said, there's not enough of that going on. Yeah, and even the special effects of the time were pretty good. And if they'd done an hour of that, just an hour of effect shots of a maniacal devil baby fighting a maniacal devil dog,

I would have been happy with that. But yeah, it's a combination of it's not Jim Carrey, obviously. The voice that Jamie Kennedy uses for the mask feels like old Elvis. Yeah, and you know what it's not Jim Carrey, obviously. Yep. The voice that Jamie Kennedy uses for the mask. What is that? Feels like old Elvis. Yeah, and you know what it felt like to me? You know that really tall guy who gets out of the tiny car in The Simpsons? Yes. And he's like, this was the most expensive car I could have bought.

Whatever, you know, it's that. He's like, hello, everybody. I'm here at the party. I wonder if it's, oh, and there's a party. My goodness. The one thing, my feeling is maybe that either one of two things, either he didn't want to do maniacal Jim Carrey voice. You can't.

You shouldn't. But also I wonder if it could also be the fact that the mask, like the physical mask, was a lot cheaper, and if he did attempt some big expressions, the mask would literally just tear off his face. They're like like don't don't emote too hard in this movie about a character who is you know has an absolute rubber face don't do that because it will it will tear we've only got we've only got the money for one

that's really interesting because i think yeah one of the things that this movie lacks is the movement and physicality of jim carrey because this has the dance numbers yeah but like it's not even has the worst dance number it's not even close, it's not even... It has the worst dance number. Yeah, it's not even close. Like, it's so far... And, again, I'm not a fan of the first movie, but the physicality of Jim Carrey and the dancing and the stunt people they get in

to kind of fill in the more spinny, spinny stuff and whatever, that all works, but he's just got this giant fucking terrifying grin on the entire time. Yeah. And, yeah, that didn't occur to me, but he doesn't emote and the hair doesn't help because it's just kind of locked into his fucking head.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. It's horrible. So the plot of this one basically is that there is a couple. Yep. One is a regular normal human woman and one is playing a Game Boy Advance in the car man-child. Yes.

And the wife wants a baby. Yep. And she shouldn't with this man because, again, he's not in the car man-child. Yes. And the wife wants a baby. Yep. And she shouldn't with this man. No. Because, again, he's not driving the car. He's sitting in the passenger seat just... So close to his face. Right?

Get some glasses. Anyway, he needs to go to a costume party. Yeah. So he finds a mask. Yep. He puts on the mask. He becomes the mask. And then, later that evening,

he fills his wife with mask sperm is what happens. Yeah, that's a whole sequence, isn't it? I've just written here, it's a nightmare of a film. And it's just like seeing that imagery and also the fact that he comes back and the lights go off and she doesn't recognise that he's changed into the mask. But what you didn't notice is screaming, spinning dick coming at you or whatever would have been going on there.

But I wanted to say he also works at an animation company. He's in the mascot role, but he wants to become one of the big-time animators, so he has to impress at the office party, which is the worst office party. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't good and he didn't fix it. Well, that's the thing. He does a rap though, doesn't he?

He gets up there and he does what I consider to be maybe the cringiest musical number in movie history. But it's also not even that much better than what anybody else was doing. Like he's got magical powers and he can do anything. But his performance is not much worse than it's it's it's not really any better than what anybody else was doing no it's really not and you'd be like this guy sucks and he's wearing a weird mask and the other thing is he hasn't improved the night at all they also know who he is because one of the big things about the first movie is it's like who was this guy in the green mask like rubber band rubber banding around? But here they're like, great job at the party last night, mate.

And it's like, I can't tell who that is. Like, I know that's Jamie Kennedy, but I still can't tell that that's him. It's very bizarre. But, okay, so this is the line of thinking for casting. Because they initially went Jack Black, who turned it down, which, quite frankly, I think could do something School of Rock-esque definitely with this. But also, good work.

You didn't do it. This was pointed out. I saw a tweet about this that suggested that Jack Black is the only person you could see him in any situation and it wouldn't surprise you. So, yeah, I'd definitely watch him in a Mask sequel. He'd be great in that. He'd do a killer musical number as well, yeah. Marlon Wayans was considered along with Matthew Lillard and Ryan Reynolds.

So, but Jamie Kennedy though, he was there. Well, he was kind of, you know, he was big off screen. Romeo and Juliet, he was in as well. He also had the Jamie Kennedy experiment. So off the back of this, like he wasn't sure whether he was going to do it or not. And he tells a story on his YouTube channel how he met with Jim Carrey, and he was like, I'm thinking about doing this, but it's a very iconic role that you took on,

and I won't do it if you say don't do it. And Jim Carrey was like, no, you should do it. Go have fun with it. And then he was like, you just got Jim Carrey'd. I've got my own reality prank show. I tricked you into doing this movie. So it was initially offered $1 million. You got carried to an embarrassing situation.

So he was initially offered $1 million for the first movie, $5 million for the second, and then $10 million for the third. He wasn't going to do it. Then they doubled the offer because they really went all out on this. The first one was like a $25 million movie. This was an $84 million to $100 million movie. You say they went all out in this movie. first one was like a $25 million movie. This was an $84 to $100 million movie. You say they went all out in this movie. No, budget-wise.

But they did film in Australia. Yeah, that's the other thing. And speaking of, it's funny you should say that because Jamie Kennedy reportedly hated his time in Sydney filming the movie. Hardly anyone recognised him in public. This is from IMDb, by the way. And he was repeatedly turned down by local women who had no idea who he was now i've done a bit of digging on this so we'll come back so we'll come back to some stuff i've found at the end okay because i'm like this might be just one of those things that's just

thrown up by a local tabloid piece of shit australian newspaper of which there are several but anyway we'll come back to it we'll get into into it. Anyway, Jamie Kennedy, his wife, produces a son. Not before having a nightmare about his wife just firing out a hundred babies. All of whom are vampires. Oh, they're all vampires. What traumatic experience did this man have in his life prior to this that he's like, if I get my wife pregnant, she'll have a hundred vampire babies. And there's also new...

Oh no, I got pranked on a prank show. There's also... Vampire babies., I got pranked on a prank show. There's also... Vampire babies. There's new rules to this universe, one of which being the mask, I guess, just works in the daytime because you see the dog walking around with it. Because it only worked at night last time, yeah. Whatever, it's fine, I don't care.

There's mask sperm, as mentioned. And also, I feel like if you were capable of being fertile whilst wearing the mask, there'd be a million of these kids. They'd be everywhere. Because you're saying that the mask amplifies your natural tendencies and most people's natural tendencies are super horny all the time. Apparently, at least in this universe. The other thing that's not as good in this movie, the dog Otis.

Now, I hate to throw shade on a probably dead dog. Milo and Otis, I only just twigged now. There you go, yeah. But I feel like this- You should have made one a cat then. Yes, maybe. Because this one kind of balances on stuff or balances stuff and plays hockey, but there's no subtlety to it. Do you know what I mean?

I feel like the dog acting, and we talked about it in the last one. The dacting. The dacting. So this is re-dacting in a way. Yeah, he's doing like little turns of the heads and nods and things like that that works. Also in this movie, it's two dogs. So it's two dogs doing the job of one dog.

So you know. So in this instance, I'm glad they're both dead. Yes, in a way. I can't believe you're being critical of dog acting. They're doing their best for a little treat, James. I'm just they're both dead. Yes, in a way. I can't believe you're being critical of dog acting. They're doing their best for a little treat, James. I'm just saying it's too much. That's what I'm doing here. Just my best for a little treat.

What do you think of the baby, though? I just wrote, I fucking hate that baby. What a nightmare. That baby has three dicks. Because there's a moment where it's pissing. The torrents of piss, yeah. And then it's like a giant jet. i've written a note here that says the baby is smart enough to fake his own death in an explosion and you've got to respect that because at one point he does i've written

here if it was a normal baby jamie kennedy would have killed it with electricity because he tries to feed it a shattered light glow yeah i have a, I have a note here that says, hey, Jamie Kennedy, maybe don't glass your baby. So I don't know if that's for the character or for the actor. I don't know. But even, yeah, because if that baby wasn't filled with mask sperm or however it was made. He would have stabbed it and electrocuted it. He would have electrocuted it, yeah.

Just, ugh. But, yeah, like you said, though, that idea of a jealous, Muttley-esque dog going up against a baby, that's like classic Warner Brothers, whatever era. I know Muttley's not Warner Brothers. You know, that era kind of stuff. But then instead of getting that, we get stuff where Jamie Kennedy's wife finally arrives home and he beats her up.

And it's not like a trick. It's not Loki, who, by the way, is looking for the sons of the mask. Alan Cumming as Loki. I think he's pretty good despite the hair and the inexplicable American accent. Yes. Besides that, I think he's doing great in this. But look, to Jamie Kennedy's credit as well, when he went into this, he was only supposed to wear the mask once,

and it wasn't supposed to be his movie. He was supposed to be the straight man. And I think maybe they went, we'll just kind of improv on the day because you're a comedic actor and we'll just kind of improv on the day because you're a comedic actor we'll just kind of see what we get and because also on on set you know on any given day there's really nothing is there because it's mostly cg so they would have been like they would have been sitting around like a pretty quiet nondescript set and sydney basement exactly and they would have just been like hey jamie kennedy just mug for the camera do some silly stuff and

we'll see if we can integrate it into the thing. So in a way, it's not his fault. Yeah, well, that's the thing. So yeah, I think the idea of a straight man works, but also that's not really, to me, who he is. Do you know what I mean? He is this kind of larger-than-life kind of character actor kind of doing wacky stuff.

He's always doing pranks, or he was doing pranks. You know what I mean? Until he got Jim Carrey that time. That's right. You know, he's putting on prosthetics and doing stuff and voices, but here it's like, hello, I'm ready for dance time.

I'm the mask. Hello. Look at me. Oh. Now, what kind of wig am I wearing? Who am I now? What do you think? Oh, is that the strains of the Cuban Peter Rumba?

Don't remind people of a better movie in your bad movie. Don't do it. Just to clarify, I don't think The Mask 1 is a good movie. I think it is a good movie. It also ends, there's a final showdown where he has to fight Loki. And it's like a

it's a boxing match. And it also leads into like a cartoon off. And again, I like that idea of two characters with the infinite powers of the mask going head to head. but it's nothing. But that idea. There is a classic line there where Jamie Kennedy does say to Loki,

you can't fight me if you're locked in a trunk. You know, that classic expression. You can't fight me. That's classic Jamie Kennedy, isn't it? I think it is, yeah. Do you want to hear about a deleted scene in this? Yes. Okay, so. I mean, not really, but deleted scene in this? Yes. Okay, so...

I mean, not really, but I'm a yes and guy. Okay, cool. Well, great, because here we go. Even if you said no, I would have just read this myself later. That's true. You could have just cut a clip of me saying yes and put it in later. I never would have known. Yes, I love Son of the Mask, I would get you to say.

I would have been Mr. Sunday Movied, which is your upcoming prank show. This is from Jamie Kennedy. We did a scene where Alan went to a pet shop to make a special potion. Alan being Jamie Kennedy's character's name? No, Alan being Alan Cumming. Okay, great. Yeah. And I played a Jamaican woman.

I was in makeup for like five hours to become a 300-pound Jamaican woman. And Alan said, I need a parrot beak. And I'd be like, what do you need a beak for? That's not right. You need to buy the whole bird. It was a lot of funny stuff. Unfortunately, it got cut. Because of the blackface.

I'd imagine so, yeah. I mean, you know, blackface was still. Yeah, people were loving it then. Yeah, and they'll still try and sneak it in to this day and be like, you guys have just been. You don't get it. You don't get it. It's actually funny.

Cancel culture is actually. We're allowed to do this because White Chicks was made. I don't know if you're aware of that. That balances everything out. I don't know if you know that. So, yeah, there you go. Unless you've got any more notes, which you might, I can then launch into my expose, if you will.

There's a moment where the baby is just on the floor in the living room in the middle of the night watching cartoons. And I'm assuming that Jamie Kennedy put the baby to bed and the kid got out of the crib on his own using his mask powers. But I also can't rule out that he just left the baby to fend for himself just overnight. That's entirely possible.

Because he wanted to play Game Boy Advance. Magda Zubanski is in this movie. She turns into a big nose woman. Australian comedy legend Magda Zubanski, also known as the wife of the a big-nosed woman. Australian comedy legend Magda Zubanski, also known as the wife of the farming babe. And babe two-pig in the city. That's right. She's in this for a minute.

Yeah, that's right. I don't disagree. Yeah. As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors, like high blood pressure developed during pregnancy, which can put us two times more at risk of heart disease or stroke. Know your risks. Visit heartandstroke.ca. FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship

between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. Do-do-do-do.

Ah, no, that's about it. I did have a note from earlier. It says this baby is an actual monster and should be put down. But you can put that anywhere, I guess. That's true. Maybe I'll just add it up top. I'll just put it right at the start of the video.

Okay, so on his time filming in Australia, Jamie Kennedy spoke to a number of news outlets to just kind of spin his wheels and talk about being the mask and being down under. Did he talk to Australian youth TV show Recovery? No, he didn't. Wow. Did he talk to Cheese TV?

He didn't even talk to Richard Wilkins. Oh, my God. What reputable news outlets are left then? We've got Jay Leno for one. Okay. He said, I love the Gold Coast. I love Brisbane. I love Melbourne.

No arguments there, mate. That's right. The Gold Coast bit, all right. Yeah. We'd have some fumes coming off that mask, you know what I mean? It might arguments there, mate. That's right. The Gold Coast bit, all right. Yeah. Wow. We'd have some fumes coming off that mask, you know what I mean? It might just be, yeah. But he said, Sydney thinks it's Paris, but it's really Nebraska,

is what he told Canada's Toronto Star. And he said, first of all, clubs close at 2 a.m. That's too early. I don't disagree. That's kind of insane. But, I mean, I'm not going to a club now. Sure, yeah. It doesn't affect me at all, but that is insane. Second of mean, I'm not going to a club now. Like, it doesn't affect me at all,

but that is insane. Second of all, people drink excessive amounts of alcohol to the point of being blue in the face. Three, the guys shave their chests and are all pumped up. Who shaves their chest?

It's not a service orientated country. $15 an hour for a waiter. The guy is not going to want to get you the bread because he's like, I'm making more than you. In America, we tip, but I tipped everyone and they were freaked out.

I mean, it's called a livable wage, but fuck whatever. There's a lot to unpack there, but let's just leave it to hang in the air. You can print this. I don't care, he said to one outlet. Oh, there's more. Sydney acts like it's not impressed by celebrity. Yes, they are. That's the funny thing.

London is not impressed by celebrity. They don't care. Sydney acts like like it isn't but it is and it goes out of its way to say f you uh but then son of the mask co-star uh trailer howard who people might know also from me myself and irene and two guys and a girl shows as such says this could have been kennedy's problem uh he did not get recognized i think he was so used to the ladies recognizing him i think it had a little bit to do with it so So, yeah. So, there you go. We didn't get the Jamie Kennedy experiment here.

The only thing I know of that show in Australia was I saw an interview on Oprah where he was talking about it. And he's like, we're doing situations. And Oprah's like, that's very funny. And, you know, that's my Jamie Kennedy experiment. Wow. In a way, yeah. Successful experiment. Result, light entertainment.

Here we go. That being said, he is currently retelling the entire story of how this movie came to be in multiple parts on his YouTube channel. And he hasn't gotten to this part about Sydney at the time of recording this, but he will.

So he's going to tell his version of how many women turned him down if you are if you if you if you're so inclined to go over there and check it out because i certainly will be if you're uh if you're from uh if you're from sydney and you're one of the ladies that turned him down email in leave something in the comments we'd love to hear it leave whatever line he gave to you in the comments uh do you want a runk update yes Yes. For those who are unfamiliar, Runk was a person who won the competition

through Nintendo Power to appear in The Mask 2, right? And because that movie was on hold, it didn't end up happening so you get a bunch of prizes and etc. So this is a slight update on that. You got to chat to the voice of Princess Peach. Exactly, yeah. The film was technically on hold so Runk could have chosen the role or the money.

This is just a bit of a recap. And merchandise. Runk, who was 12 at the time, chose the money and received $5,000, a film crew jacket, which he later lost. Update. Can you believe it? And several Super Nintendo video games,

including Pilot Wing 64 on Nintendo 64. Someone needs to edit this. This is a mistake. I don't like this. This whole situation Sounds very fishy I'm pretty sure They just killed him And dumped him in a gutter

What should we tell the press They're pushing him Into a sewer grate And they're like What should we Tell them we got Tell them we got Pilo Week 64

On the Super Nintendo He later claimed That it was absolutely the right call. And he's right. It was the right call. But maybe he could have gone to Sydney also and got turned down in bars. Who knows? He could have lived out that Hollywood lifestyle. Or he could have cut Jamie Kennedy's lunch every night.

The runk's just cutting through, mate. That's right. Mate. The runkatron. He's back, baby. The runk would only need to be a slightly better dancer and he'd do all right. You know what I mean? Which I think it's entirely possible he could be.

He's not one of those desperados out at 2am when the bar closes. He's the Runkmeister. If he's not dead in a ditch. The Runkmanator. He's dead. He's dead, though, isn't he? So this movie made $59 million.

It was a massive bomb. Critical commercial panning. Everybody hates this movie. I actually thought it was pretty good. Just kidding. It's an interesting oddity, though commercial panning. Everybody hates this movie. I actually thought it was pretty good. Just kidding. It's an interesting oddity though, I feel, right? It really is, yeah. I can see all the lines of thinking. I can see why you

would get Jamie Kennedy. I can see why you'd put the money into it. I can see the special effects. I can see certain ideas thinking that this would work. Yeah. But crap. Jim Carrey though, I teased this last week he might be open to a sequel and we know this of course because

since the 90s he has done a sequel to Dumb and Dumber he wasn't in the prequel and he's of course doing Sonic 2 why not but he spoke to comicbook.com in 2020 and he said it depends on a filmmaker really, I don't just want to do it to do it, but I would only do it if it was some crazy visionary filmmaker sure And he said, Sure.

So there you go. Darren Aronofsky's The Mask. Oh, my God. You would, wouldn't you? Yep. You bloody would. Mm-hmm. Had to be about his father also.

This would be the son of The Mask we deserve. That's right. Oh, my goodness. Anyways, this has been The Mask 1 and The Mask 2. If we get a Mask 3, we'll come back and we'll do the Thor movies. Aye, perfect. That's fine, right? It's all going to tie together, yeah. Oh man, what a time though.

And here at Caravan of Garbage, you might be like, I love it when you guys talk about movies that I've never bothered to watch. People love that, don't they? They love it.
