Starting point is 00:00:00 Today. You ready? Okay, let's go. The hunt for the wildest movie of the summer. Everybody run! Ends here. This is your super friendly and not aggressive reminder to buy tickets immediately. Borderlands, now playing.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Can rats and mice procreate? Now we're fucking talking. So a mule is the product of a donkey and a horse, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, a donkey that is absolutely punching. Yeah, how fucking well is that donkey doing? Hello and welcome to the worst idea of all time, emergency season. It's time to start your rockin' day with Tim the Dingo and Guy the Mustachio Captain of the Airwaves. Guy, can you hear me?
Starting point is 00:01:08 Absolutely, Tim. I genuinely don't have the energy to engage in your morning radio horseplay, but fuck I love the offer and I'm really sorry I couldn't meet you halfway. Sometimes it's a funny old thing because you go into the record so tired you don't think you've got any gas in the tank, but that just puts you in the silliest mood of all and all of a sudden you open your mouth and this comes out. I'm excited to be in your company, Dingo. Tell me, what have you been doing to occupy the last hour and 45 minutes of your life i drank three beers and that was enough to make me so fucking sleepy while i was watching this movie that my eyes were like they were like uh acme weights from an old cartoon i can really see the visual yeah i found this to be a very dispassionate screening of home alone 3 uh a sixth watch i hasten to add um thing is though here's what sucks about this season usually it's like we're five percent done we're fucking we're 12 12 watchings out of 52 who knows when this ends you know this was the original concept as well when we first opened our big dumb mouths in 2014 in february
Starting point is 00:02:15 and we were like hey let's do a podcast and we'll watch grown-ups too until we can't that was that was the og premise imagine if we were still doing that fuck man i don't think yeah imagine i i actually i don't think i could handle it i don't we would have seen it over hold on six years times 50 is we would have seen it like 100 over 300 times yeah we've not managed that but we have certainly put our minds to uh various different menial consumption tasks and yeah there's something about the the landscape in which we're watching this which there are a lot of familiar feelings um being stirred up during this screening sort of just that that angst that sort of just dreary gnawing kind of
Starting point is 00:03:06 frustration at myself um for subjecting us to this and it was it all just felt too familiar and then the broader picture obviously is that this is not familiar terrain at all i have what i can only describe as a deep yearning to be tucked in by my mum oh shit that sounds very dangerous that's not a good place to be emotionally woken up the next morning uh at a reasonable hour to be told to go and walk the dogs what is walking the dogs is that a metaphor or genuinely you just want to get out yeah it's a it's a metaphor for um taking the two jack russell dogs we have for a walk i see so it's a pretty poetic woman with charlotte it's a pretty literal metaphor she's still here charlotte fucking rocks dude i say what else rocks the fact that this is undoubtedly one of the 1990s foremost feminist texts
Starting point is 00:04:06 did you know this is the first home alone film to feature a female burglar alice ribbons fucking hells to die on your internet's cutting in and out which is almost as frustrating as this thesis you perpetually push on to me that this home alone 3 is a feminist text i don't know what's more annoying and you know i fucking hate a dicey connection you know that you know that about me i i actually think my connection's strong although the uh warning screen on my computer that just told me my internet connection is unstable begs to differ i'm gonna overwrite that with the knowledge that my internet connection is stable, my relationship to you is stable, and my takes on cinema are among some of the most stable in recorded history. I've been given direct advice from both me and your computer that something is the reality of the situation and you're throwing it out the window.
Starting point is 00:05:03 You clearly don't know what the fuck you're talking about. How many other movies in 1997 showed the mum doing the cleaning up and having fun with stuff in the attic while the dad cooks dinner with four pots? Four pots on the go, Tim, and we see him empty one of them. It's a big pot.
Starting point is 00:05:20 This is a family of five, three of them are children. It's all together too much food all the pots are boiling simultaneously it wasn't the fucking 50s dude it was the 90s we were only two years out from the matrix coming out you know the matrix of course is one of the foremost feminist texts in the history of cinema. Correct. That's, I mean, it's not a hell I'll bother to die on, but it's a hell I'm building brick by brick.
Starting point is 00:05:54 I fucking, I tell you what, I think you are going to die on this hell. I think you've been dying every episode you bring it up. You're dead to me, guy. Why don't you put a sock in it, Tim? Because then we don't have a good podcast going. I mean, you're fucked. Then you just got Captain Guy, but you're missing the dingo.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Everyone loves the dingo. I hate the dingo. I sent you a screen grab not long before this call when you were bothering me to set up a link on which we could communicate. Yeah, I got confused by that. I thought you drew it. No, I did not draw that. bothering me to set up a link on which we could communicate which i got confused by that i thought you drew it no i did not draw that we are to believe that was drawn by one alex pruitt as he taped it to the fridge i want to talk i don't want to talk about the movie i just watched it tell me about something else tell me i want to talk to you about why anyone would have to put a hand-drawn sign
Starting point is 00:06:47 telling them to keep the pet mouse out of the fridge. Surely this is the sort of information that is widely understood amongst the family. We don't want the mouse in the fridge. Why would you have to go to trouble specifically explaining that? And Tim, this isn't an ordinary mouse. Doris is totally in cahoots with alex to the point that their relationship transcends the normal relationship between owner and pet they are in cahoots they are allies they are teammates they are the dingo and the captain
Starting point is 00:07:18 they are up to their fucking eyeballs in conspiracy theories and they are building towards something that i think becomes realized in the 2000 and can't remember when text sex in the city 2 home alone 3 walked so brady could run i really thought you were going to throw stewart little out there stewart little is in my opinion one of of the foremost feminist texts of the movies from that sort of late 90s, early 2000s bracket. Okay, so the thing you're reading into the relationship between Doris and Alex is the feminist overtones of that in the film. It's not the mouse bit of it. No, no. It's the fact that Doris is a woman.
Starting point is 00:08:01 A woman mouse. It's the mouse thing. It's the mouse thing. It's the mouse thing. The feminist thing is a sidebar. The mouse thing's what I'm talking about. I want you to imagine a world in which Brady Brady or Brady Hobbs Brady
Starting point is 00:08:14 or Brady Brady Hobbs or Brady Magda Hobbs Brady is sitting at home being neglected by his parents in a way that is not altogether too dissimilar from the way that Alex Pruitt is consistently neglected by his parents in a way that is not altogether too dissimilar from the way that Alex Pruitt is consistently neglected by his parents in his moment of need
Starting point is 00:08:29 while he's under siege by terrorists and sick with the chickenpox and seeing a little of himself in the young whippersnapper. I want you to imagine a world where Brady says, hey, this kid Alex, he's left his own devices a lot of the time. He's got a close relationship with an elderly woman who's in constant proximity to him magda mrs hess he's harnessing the power of a mouse
Starting point is 00:08:51 or a rat to do his bidding to help him and realizing his goals do you know how wild shit would get if brady and alex teamed up because dude like there's a couple of ways that alex could go and i guess one is sort of a jimmy neutron boy genius you know lovable adventures type of thing but to be honest he in this film seems to be showing early signs of channeling his skills into just fucking bloodlust and really injuring people he's basically he's the unabomber in training and if he had that level of skill and disdain for adults at such a young age and he teamed up with brady who's got such ambitious goals i mean they're fucking they're unstoppable but it's also very dark isn't it well it's it's tip if you think about it by the time that brady's on the scene, harnessing the power of a million rats,
Starting point is 00:09:47 Alex has probably grown up and grown out of this phase to be, I'm imagining someone who works in startups. He's in tech. He's in Silicon Valley. That sounds like Dick Bott to me. He's probably quite restless. He's probably bounced around from company to company. He's taken his fair share of
Starting point is 00:10:05 stock that's turned out to be quicksand beneath his feet it's worthless here's what he's been five years at theranos before he got muscled out he is too nervous to have my reckon yeah go ahead he's one of those incredibly gifted young programmers who gets brought into a startup and then like invent some algorithm that saves the company a tremendous amount of money or unlocks this huge potential and then they kind of just take his toolkit and then give him a severance package and uh and he gets out of there but he like it's his fucking special source that made the whole thing turn into a billion dollar empire that's a disgruntled employee he looks down at his feet in the parking lot while he's on his way to his Toyota
Starting point is 00:10:45 Prius. And what does he find? But a newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle blows across his Eddie Des Dan Smith on his right foot. He picks it up and there's a little story on the sixth page in the bottom right corner about a young boy in New York City who's harnessing
Starting point is 00:11:02 the power of rats. I want this to be a musical. What do you think of that? Do you know, so often you want these things to be musicals. I quite like musicals. What can I say? Because it sounds quite fantastical, which I think would translate well to musical theatre.
Starting point is 00:11:18 He reads the article. He looks up Brady. He says, hey, kid, I don't know if you want to hear what i've got to say but i pretty much wrote the book on rats and brady says alex d linds who played alex pruitt in home alone 3 i fucking pretty much was brought up on that film let the professional chemistry begin it's a terrifying thought but there's a pretty good chance as well that alex owed to his love of technology will actually go and join dickbot instead of brady you know or or he could he could see two powerful figures you know warring for the universe
Starting point is 00:12:03 and identify pretty quickly strengths and weaknesses in their respective battle approaches as someone who is familiar with both rats and technology and perhaps work towards unifying saying the three of us could consolidate our powers and rule together he could pick a side or he could say I can rise above all of this with the power of rats and technology. I would be virtually unstoppable. Here's an equation that no one else has bothered to look at. Is Doris a mouse or a rat? It's unknown.
Starting point is 00:12:39 I think Doris is represented as a mouse. It's referred to as a mouse. So it might be a mouse, but... I mean, like, that's on us. Most people would be able to look at a creature and go, that's a mouse, that's a rat, you know? I think it's a mouse. We're dummies, guy.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Can rats and mice procreate? Now we're fucking talking. So a mule is the product of a donkey and a horse i'm pretty sure a donkey that is absolutely punching they yeah how fucking well is that donkey doing to get a horse can you imagine that donkey showing back up in the yard and being like you'll never guess what i just fucked donkeys are historically historically the symbol of the worst bit of work and being stupid and shitting everywhere. Horses are beloved.
Starting point is 00:13:33 You put princes on a horse. You give horses as the ultimate birthday gift for the richest girl in the world, but a fucking donkey is beating one of those? My God. Worse yet, imagine the horse who found out that their horse wife cheated on them with a donkey at the birth of their child the whole time during the pregnancy they just fired up fuck i can't wait for my spawn i can't wait for this young stallion i'm so excited at the prospect of raising this child together. And the mama horse is just like, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's yours. What a mare.
Starting point is 00:14:11 That's the dingo for you. Yeah, that is the dingo. And then you'd see this mule come out of the vagina and be like, what in fuck's name is that? A mouse and a rat, I reckon, are way closer together than a donkey and a horse both on the social ladder um but also genetically i think so i reckon there'd be a greater chance of um of offspring that i wonder if this gets factored in the fact that both mice and rats procreate tons like they have no trouble fucking and uh siring you know lots and lots of their young
Starting point is 00:14:48 so actually you finish and then also i was just gonna say i think if rats and mice figured out to crossbreed that could potentially accelerate the rate at which they are creating themselves do you think and also just create a stronger union between the two subspecies and i just think it's a more efficient path to victory it is interesting to think about how close um a thing can be to fuck another thing and and successfully sire Sire humans and chimps it's not on the cards is it I don't think so right like I feel like we'd know about that if that was a thing yeah
Starting point is 00:15:32 and chimps chimps are the closest to us bonobos apparently are pretty pretty close yeah and they've got fantastic deals on clothes we're not sponsored he's shaking his head at me. Today. You ready?
Starting point is 00:15:53 Okay, let's go. The hunt for the wildest movie of the summer. Everybody run! Ends here. This is your super friendly and not aggressive reminder to buy tickets immediately. Borderlands. Now playing. Do you feel like we're in the trenches?
Starting point is 00:16:10 It's pretty early to be down here, but I feel like we're down here. No, we can't possibly be in the trenches at watch number six. I think it's just a night watch is probably a silly idea. But then doing it in the morning sucks as well. I guess our podcast format is just fucking bad. It's broken. I'm in a bit of a malaise, man. I'm in a malaise.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Are you? Just generally speaking? Yeah, man. I want to... I think that's understandable. I want to see you. What are you craving right now, man? If you can fucking wave a wand, do you want to go to the pub?
Starting point is 00:16:42 What's your number one? Right now, it is literally to be tucked into bed by my mum but beyond that i think the the underlying thing is just um physical contact with my nearest and dearest i think it's walking into a room and seeing someone i love and respect physically in the same room as me and giving them a hug and saying fuck yes uh and it's just like it's the it's the open-ended and we're lucky but it's the open-ended nature of what lies ahead i just i i've just felt this overwhelming need to um for some semblance of normalcy to return to just like you're an affectionate guy this is why it's good that um you've sort of got a young ward now because i feel like that's a fantastic combination for
Starting point is 00:17:30 someone who loves giving cuddles as kids i know but cuddles are so good for them yeah yeah but you know it's it's one of those situations where if you want the cuddle you're not going to get the cuddle uh yeah kids are like dogs they can smell fear and they can smell need and you know you really gotta not my dog man god he's pathetic he's so cute but like as soon as i will walk anywhere in proximity he'll just flip onto his back waiting for a belly rub legend that's the dog you raised by the way that is the dog my wife raised guy and you know that that is my dog fucking raised him like that you need to look at this as a as a uh something that you worked on together you and zoe did not raise two separate dogs no that's true but um i think
Starting point is 00:18:18 if we get another dog i get to raise that one a bit more i think we've got to even this out you're gonna raise a little rough and tumble Can I ask you a question? Where the fuck does Stan's self-confidence come from? This guy drops some of the worst jokes I've heard in the history of cinema with the confidence of Rodney Dangerfield in his prime
Starting point is 00:18:37 Rodney Dangerfield was supremely confident but he did earn it and Stan is a hopeless dickwad The thing is though, he's also the eldest and they can go one of two ways they can either be very sort of unsure because they're the first to kind of go forward or very cocksure where you know they're kind of no one's written the rule book for them yet yeah uh the first joke he does which tells me beyond the sort of exposition that we're given of his character who is just this detestable little fuck uh is he says when they find out
Starting point is 00:19:14 that alex has got chicken pox and scarlett johansson's just as guilty but her face isn't quite as detestable he says uh this is great because you know the parents are tending to alex and scarlett johansson says uh does that happen to include his buttock region and then stan says this is great if he scratches his chicken spots we can call him scar but that kills me i honestly think if my son said a joke like that i would hammer him for lacking basic just like respect for humor and i think maybe he passes it passes muster in terms of joke structure but what are you getting at there like scarface was that the Is that the reference? I mean the fact that we have to ask Tells me it's quite simply not good enough
Starting point is 00:20:10 And then so Maybe you give him a pass there Maybe you're like He was just trying to make a joke And he scrambled and he panicked And he didn't quite stick the landing But then later on When he says
Starting point is 00:20:19 Alex They're at dinner And he says Alex could you please pass me This is after Alex has called the police twice And they've said that there was no one there, Alex, could you please pass me, this is after Alex has called the police twice and they've said that there was no one there. He says, Alex, could you please pass me the false alarms? Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:20:31 I'm sorry. I meant the peas. This one kills me because peas and false alarms don't sound anything alike. False alarms, in turn, does not sound like anything that you would have on a dinner a dinner table like it doesn't it doesn't fucking got him there monty that's such a good point they don't sound they don't sound the same at all you're really you're really sticking it to stan the one that confuses me that he says it's not a joke it's just how fucking stupid he is or it's kind of i don't know it's not it's sort of how stupid he is. Or it's kind of, I don't know. It's not, it's sort of how stupid he is.
Starting point is 00:21:06 It's when he goes, he's just mad. Oh, he's just lying to get out of a science test tomorrow because someone killed his bug. And at that point, Alex doesn't know that his bug has died. No one knows that his bug has died, except for Cap Price Buzz price buzz aka stan who
Starting point is 00:21:26 killed the bug and it's just such a weird like way to reveal it because it's like he's preemptively trying to defend himself but he's he's sort of um out of himself as the murderer but he's also throwing it at alex like it's some sort of slam which it isn't it. Yeah, he's all over the map. And I don't think he's getting the attention he needs at home. So often the issues with these guys is not within them, it's within the environment. Who's older, Stan or Molly? Stan. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:58 He's the oldest. And honestly, it's one of those classic sibling dynamics where him and Molly have a kinship purely because they're closer in age and Alex is markedly younger than both of them. But you can totally see Molly's going to outgrow Stan and her and Alex might form a bond, or they might not. But I don't like what's in the future for Stan at all.
Starting point is 00:22:20 How awkward will the senior year be for Stan when he... And, like, I... Look, people look different, and that's fine. Stan's got quite a strong look. He's got a very strong look. Scarlett Johansson's starting to come into her own. She's probably, like, 16 or something, you know? The girl is turning into a young woman,
Starting point is 00:22:43 and Stan has to fucking deal with all his friends with scarlett johansson that's hard fuck yeah that would absolutely kill him also like when you're on the slide and your siblings are on the rise it'll break your heart i just he just he just rubs me up the wrong way man and i probably shouldn't be taking it out on him but he was well i do i do object to you taking it out on his face, Guy. I will say that. I think that's uncalled for, especially for children. His face is framed by his hair.
Starting point is 00:23:16 And his hair is one of the things I have a huge problem with. His taste in music, his entitled nature, his sense of humor, the way he sort of oscillates between being a young thug and an upstanding... When he's trying to intimidate the FBI agent, who, by the way, is woefully out of his depth. Holy shit. Can we take a moment to talk about how fucked the FBI are in this? This guy, Detective Stucky, or whatever his name is,
Starting point is 00:23:44 these are high-end crooks. He's been trailing Mr. Bro Prey for seven years. The head of investigation is only now. He's been tracing these criminals for seven years. Only now is he introducing his team of 13 other investigators to who exactly they're looking for and what the scale and stakes of the situation is he literally no no no hold on guy hold on i think that mr poo prey has been on the radar for a long
Starting point is 00:24:13 time but i think this is a new grift i think this is a new bunch of bandits this is a new group right because he because the reason why we know that he's been looking for seven years for him is right at the end when Alex is going, there's an old woman who needs medical attention for her cold feet and some soup. That's right. It's a good line. There's a guy locked up in the closet. There's a woman in the attic. There's a guy frozen in the pool.
Starting point is 00:24:40 No, there's two guys frozen in the pool. There's a woman in the basement, and there's another guy who we don't know where he is. Who got away. And the, did you get his name? Stucky. Yeah. Pulls out a photo of Mr. Pupre, and he says, is that him?
Starting point is 00:24:54 He goes, we've been looking for this guy for seven years. As if they've found him. That's the other thing that gets me. It's said in a way of like on a cop show. When you go, we've been trying to track down this guy for seven years. It's like, yeah, you still don't fucking have him. Now we're in year eight, my dude. He got away.
Starting point is 00:25:12 It's from this iconic era of like, you know, saying you're in the FBI and wearing a camel long coat over a suit is enough to suggest like you know someone who's in control or in charge but he's up against it man 13 detectives he's literally explaining to them what they're looking for i mean why has he not introduced these people to what they're looking for before or alternatively why does he have to keep explaining to the same army of 13 detectives what exactly the stakes are here this is the f This is meant to be the top agency. And then later on, when he's like, you know, he's realized he's at the school and he realizes he's got the wrong kid. He's got to go to the Pruitt's house.
Starting point is 00:25:55 And Stan steps up to him and says, she asked you a question, sir. And then he's like, I've got to go. And Scarlett Johansson goes, the id you're referring to is my little brother and then he's like all right i'm gonna flex on these kids i've just been intimidated by stan fucking loser and he says and i think the actor really relishes in this line i love it so much he's like all right i'm gonna flex on these kids i'm gonna tell them a thing or two about top-end espionage and he delivers with all the sort of suave debonair cool of a fbi detective he says we think he intercepted a top secret electronic device stolen from a defense department contractor by a group
Starting point is 00:26:36 of international criminals working for a north korean terrorist organization and that's like him being like yeah your brother's done a job i've been unable to do for seven years i also get a strong feeling that if those are the stakes you probably shouldn't be telling children that that's going 100 because you got stepped to by stan you're gonna start blabbing about all of these you know. Let me tell you let me lay something on you. I for a brief time in my life worked in the public sector and I'll tell you one thing
Starting point is 00:27:12 it's really hard for people to get fired when you work for the government and government departments. Here's what I think has happened. I think that Stucky's dad was very good at his job and was a career fbi agent who rose up the ranks and got his son enlisted early i think that stucky has been hanging around like
Starting point is 00:27:35 a bad smell bringing every operation down that he's been a part of and his superiors have put him on wild goose chases and on the most like stupid um waste of time operations yeah keep him occupied get him out of the office but now he's kind of getting wise to it and he's been making a lot of noises and maybe his dad still has a bit of clout at the country club with still serving management at the fbi so what they've done is they go fuck we gotta sort stucky out i know what we'll do we'll give him this guy who may or may not even fucking exist who knows the guy's a ghost he probably isn't even real all we've got is this photo of him and we're going to give him uh this the special
Starting point is 00:28:15 unit and what this special unit is is it's 13 agents in the fbi who were also mistakenly hired who all suffer from amnesia and so stucky is in this groundhog day situation of starting every day by having to outline who they're looking for i love it it's 51st dates it's groundhog day it's home alone three it's detective stucky attorney at law um i reckon that's what's happening here man he's been stuck with um it's called stuck with dozen stuck with stucky and uh in the theme song when it kicks off it's got like we've got the intro sequence of stucky putting his shoes on and um fixing his shirt collar and making him look all good but he's
Starting point is 00:29:01 he's like spilling coffee on his shirt because he's completely incompetent and he backs over his leader box while uh wheel is what's that wheel is steel steel is wheel steel thank you wheel is steel fucking hell stuck in the middle with you it's a good song that is a great song i like it so much and then the opening scene is always him walking into the office and he goes good morning sergeant and he goes how do you know my name and then he has to go into an office and set up the episode so he sets it up in the same way every time where he's like explaining you know whatever it's a different crook every time he's got to introduce himself to everyone introduce everyone to everyone else fuck it's a good premise i mean and he's definitely trapped inside of it inside of this movie franchise which is upsetting because stuck with stucky is in and of itself a better
Starting point is 00:29:53 project than home alone is by the time that we're dealing with home alone 3 did you have a shining light i think i said it i I worked it into conversation before, which was when Alex Pruitt is talking to... Yeah, thanks. I did think you were talking about the other Alex in Home Alone 3. I appreciate you clearing that up. You know what, Tim? What?
Starting point is 00:30:20 You and I are working together, okay? You and I are in this together. I'm sorry, I'm just tired. I'm just tired, man. Come on now. I'm sorry. Yeah, and do you know who else is tired? Who? Alex?
Starting point is 00:30:31 Presumably. Stucky's sure as hell tired. He's so tired every day. But it's also me. And I just needed that extra half a second to get my brain in a place where I could remember the line I was trying to tell you for my shining light my shining light now to be honest is working through these problems with you but my uh my shining light was um when alex discovers mrs hess and mr
Starting point is 00:31:01 beaupreis there and he reveals himself and a Alex, he's so cool, he's so calm. He's totally unfazed by the fact that all of these crooks have guns, that he's probably just killed three people in cold blood. He shows a flash of empathy for Mrs. Hess, which I think is more lust than anything else. I reckon this guy's got lust in his eyes. And he says, can we please take her inside? She's very old and she's very cold and
Starting point is 00:31:26 it's the line it's the way it's written it's the way it's delivered it's satisfying it gets me every time and that was my shining light nice it is a satisfyingly delivered line he's got a great voice yeah he's yeah he's got a good cute kid what was Yeah. He's got a good, cute kid voice. What was the line that you brought up that Alex's mum says that's really beautiful? Oh, I hope she felt very foolish. Foolish. Yeah. Foolish is so nice.
Starting point is 00:31:57 It's the O's. There's something about the vowels. There's a few really nice lines in there. Like some really good reads, really good offers. There's foolish.
