Starting point is 00:00:00 Okay, hello, welcome along to the Worst Idea of All Time podcast. My name's Guy Montgomery. My name is Tim Batt. And this week we have a very special guest. What's your name? David Farrier. It's nice to be here with you guys. Big fan. And it's nice to be sitting here after watching Grown Ups 2. For me
Starting point is 00:00:34 for the first time. That's right. David Farrier, 3 News reporter and kind of freelance journalist. Freelance everyman. Parrot owner. Pink t-shirt. Actor. Actor.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Dreamer. Short poppies. Dancer. Lover. Visionary. The food critic. All true. I'll take any opportunity that comes my way, including being here with you guys on this podcast. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:01:01 And the first thing I realised, I don't know how quickly we want to get into this. Just dive in. thank you the first thing I realised I don't know how quickly we want to get into this but I just dive in got this film confused with the Hot Tub Time Machine film or franchise
Starting point is 00:01:11 in my head where you've got this big ensemble of comedians in their sort of 30s, 40s, 50s all coming together
Starting point is 00:01:19 and today so yeah there you go and so I mean Hot Tub Time Machine you were just expecting more time spent in a jacuzzi, presumably. Well, no, I just thought this film, because I haven't seen either of these movies,
Starting point is 00:01:31 and I thought that, for some reason, I thought it was about a group of friends travelling back in time to sort of relive their youth another time. But, of course, being called grown-ups, I thought it was about that. Of course, that's Hot Tub Time Machine. In a way, it's not not about that. Yeah. No, this is about a group of men who are... Regressing.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Yeah, regressing. I don't know if they've ever gone, never not regressed. I mean, I don't think they've ever matured beyond puberty. They're just goofing around. Just a couple of guys, could be anyone, just goofing around. They're just having a day together. And I mean, for me, this film was just... You sound like Peter Dante, cast member Peter Dante.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Jesus. An oppressor he did for the movie. Trying to describe... You're actually quoting a press release for the movie. It's about... This film is about a group of guys walking around their town from shop to outside location to another store to a home. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Just living their lives. You had a lot of questions throughout the viewing, David, about where's the story? It was weird for me because I listened to the podcast and so watching it for the first time, because I knew you could answer any questions I had as the movie went on. So of course I'd tap into that.
Starting point is 00:02:41 But it's such a weird experience because... Well, a lot of your questions don't have answers though. like where's the plot there's no answer to that i can genuinely say i have not watched a film before that's got no plot points and then mainly no conflict there's no point where i'm worried for any of these characters in their lives that's and but that's not necessarily no conflict that's just uh that's poorly made you're not invested in any one thing in the film. It's both. I think it's both. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:09 But I mean, it's a lot of time to spend with something in which you have no investment or interest. No, and it spreads your interest. We've done it for a year, mate. It spreads. It seems to just spread things too thinly. There's so many people popping up. The instant you maybe start to think,
Starting point is 00:03:23 oh, this is a character I'd like to spend more time with, you're on to 10, 15, 20 other people. When did you think that? I thought at the beginning. I thought the guy, a couple of them. Who was the one that was a bit like Kevin James? His brother, the principal, the principal cardio. There was a guy in there.
Starting point is 00:03:44 I don't even know that's the thing I can't even remember a lot of those characters there was nothing it scrambles your brain doesn't it they do
Starting point is 00:03:49 and they introduce characters at a right at the start especially just like alright okay you got that one now here's three more okay now here's nine more
Starting point is 00:03:58 now here's 27 more characters and now but when the and all in a new setting here's 121 new characters to learn feel you could feel this the directions on the script just jumping out at you it's like right now we're in a house now we're in a k-mart now we're in another house now we're at this at this lake and it just went you're just jumping from location someone's cousin works in like set design and
Starting point is 00:04:20 building like the mafia of hollywood is adam sandler's cousins who work in set design and building like the mafia of hollywood is adam sandler's cousins who work in set design and building and he just like they just muscled in to hire out a whole lot of work for themselves they wrote the script they wrote this script because there is that mystery of it's it's adam sandler it's him without adam sandler that this film wouldn't exist yeah but he's occupies this place in hollywood now where he can get because people go to this film so he gets
Starting point is 00:04:47 a return on these terrible films and so he keeps making them well I mean there's a few points because in discussing it with several different people
Starting point is 00:04:56 through the podcast there's a few points which are constantly raised and one of them is that do you not think it looks like a lot of fun for them to make that movie because no one's invested
Starting point is 00:05:03 in the product it's just because hasn't Adam Sandler talked about this he just does a movie if it's fun think it looks like a lot of fun for them to make that movie? Because no one's invested in the product. It's just that... Because hasn't Adam Sandler talked about this? He just does a movie if it's fun. If it's like essentially... He did that one with Drew Barrymore because he wanted to go to the location. So it was a holiday with a movie tech guy. So he'll do that film.
Starting point is 00:05:17 But yeah, they are. They're joking around on set. There's nothing... There's no big investment from them. They turn up each day. They probably get fed quite well. They're with their friends phenomenal catering probably get Blaze pizza
Starting point is 00:05:27 yeah that juice what was the juice they kept oh they get Mott's Mott's juice that's the juice of choice in grown ups too
Starting point is 00:05:34 I want to try some Mott's juice now oh yeah I'm craving some Mott's juice some Pepsi maybe we can nip down to Kmart and see what they've got
Starting point is 00:05:40 Guy do you know what I like to do when I'm on Venice Beach after I've visited my mate Paddy at Gold's? And I've also just got a slice... You've had a pretty intense workout, thrown some tin around. And you've got some Blaze pizza.
Starting point is 00:05:50 I've thrown a slice or two of Blaze pizza down, mate. On this really perfect Sunday, Tim, what could you possibly want to top off that perfect combination of activities? I actually forgot Rose was going with that. You want Mott's juice. Oh, yeah, Mott's. Something I liked about the film, I'm big into CGI creatures in films, and they made real good use of that CG deer just trampling through the house.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Clearly wasn't real. It was clearly a bit of CG. It wasn't bad CGI. I think it was pretty bad. I think that was pretty bad CG. Do you think the dog is real? No, there were a couple of scenes where the dog was a prop, where someone was definitely holding it up.
Starting point is 00:06:27 It was never CG, but there was a couple of points where it was a real dog. But like, they've put a weird filter on it or something, like Mayfair. The dog comes out looking real odd. No, it does. Like Mayfair. Are you quoting Instagram filters as like color grades on one animal? I thought it would be a funny thing to say. That is funny.
Starting point is 00:06:44 David Spade, what's he been doing until now? Oh, Josh Shootme was pretty good. What was that? Joe Dirt. Joe Dirt, meet Joe Dirt. He's doing a second Joe Dirt film, I think. I think he's been doing some stand-up. I've seen some stand-up videos.
Starting point is 00:06:58 He's done some stand-up recently. He did a really good WTF. Back on the club circuit. I haven't heard that one. I would love to hear that. I rate David Spade. But the other thing, when I'm jumping around,
Starting point is 00:07:10 it felt weird. It dragged. It started off very pacey and you were jumping from location to location. There were a lot of gags coming thick and fast. But I think the last third
Starting point is 00:07:21 went pretty slow. It was just... Yeah, man. It was at the one party. It drags. God, it dragged. And then by the time the credits ran, I was picturing people... Because when the credits are up, I'm always reminded that I'm in the cinema.
Starting point is 00:07:32 I've just seen a great film. As opposed to in your lounge now. Sure. And you're wondering about the discussions people are having when they're leaving that cinema. Like, guys, that... Oh, God, that was good. You know, let's... Oh, God, I want to see it again.
Starting point is 00:07:45 You know, it's a very different discussion when you leave that film to when you've left Interstellar. I thought you were going to say Interstellar, yeah. It's such a, but people paid money to see that. But what do you talk about on the ride home after Grown Ups 2? I remember when that deer got a bra stuck to its antlers. I imagine, like, a 14-year-old teenage boy is probably who's going to love this movie.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Do you know what I'm saying? I was way too sophisticated. I'm thinking, as a 14-year-old teenage boy, if I left a movie like that, I can't imagine enjoying it, even though I probably would have back then. But I'm like, you'd be quoting. You'd just be quoting, you're going, that poor old lady. Who wants to watch me climb a rope? And you're just walking out the cinema, just drop parroting your favourite tidbit. I know this is slightly a different point to the one you're trying to make,
Starting point is 00:08:29 but I love that you're grabbing catchphrases from all these accidental side characters. They probably made it up on the day, and no one wrote that in the script. That would be one that would stick with me. What we're supposed to be saying is like, what? Or burp snarting, like one of us busts out one of those. That's what they intended to be one that was Stuck with me What we're supposed to be saying Is like What Or burp snarting Like one of us busts out One of those That's what they intended
Starting point is 00:08:48 To be the catchphrases What are you meant to take away From that movie I guess you're just meant To have had a laugh Did you have a laugh I really The physical gags
Starting point is 00:08:57 God they got me Whenever an inflatable boat Was inflated suddenly Hilarious Twice Shaq Back to that water fountain Sha shack and that little playhouse just kind of his head poking out there's shack so big and the playhouse is so small ah that's funny that's juxtaposition
Starting point is 00:09:16 jinx personal jinx oh tim bat tim back thanks mate oh thanks mate i know i took some notes i'm just gonna have a look through the notes that I took. That fitness class with the woman. It's Squat Robics 101. Yeah, Squat Robics. John Lovitz. He, our janitor, came in and started sort of... Because, I mean, I've been... I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I've been reading a few essays recently, like, you know, people talking about the roles of female in film and sort of how in the role, specifically in Fast and Furious, how females are used using those films and like males and all that kind of stuff yeah but females in this film are just kind of god it's the worst example they've got nothing they've got they're either to do with a male character or they're there for a gag and that particular scene was the worst case because they're just they're all idiots
Starting point is 00:10:00 you know this got the janitor wanders in uh You know There's obviously a janitor Obviously And suddenly Still got his bucket They're squatting They're turning around They're slapping their bums For him Yeah
Starting point is 00:10:10 There doesn't appear to be A Gina Davis of our generation And then We need one When When old hottie dude walks in Paul Hudson Then it instantly goes into
Starting point is 00:10:19 Oh you're so hot Yeah they were swooning Oh he's gay Fucking leonards They get really angry as well When they find out he's gay. Like, mobbish. That scene for me, I guess, was stuck in my head
Starting point is 00:10:29 because it was so... God, it was dumb. Yeah. It was real dumb. You've got to meet the movie on its terms, though. That's a Dom Corryism. That's a Dom Corryism right there. And, like, this is not a movie that is looking to...
Starting point is 00:10:43 Yeah, true. ...impact social change. Yeah, true. Four guys get together, and I believe, I'll quote yourself, David, they have a day. That is the movie. They're walking around the town. And what a day it was. It started in bed.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Oh, that's the funny thing. Just back to that deer coming in. Yeah. Were they, because I thought when that first started, I thought they had just moved into a forest or something. Like they'd moved house or something. And that would be part of the plot. Connecticut. And there's a city called Stanton.
Starting point is 00:11:10 So there's deer around. Well, obviously they own some land. Because you know when they're doing the scene at the front of the driveway. They're somewhat removed from the house. There's trees around the house. There's an off chance maybe they live near a nature reserve. And there could be some deer that would wander in. Maybe a curious deer wanders into the...
Starting point is 00:11:28 I don't think it's rural though. It doesn't look rural but I mean it's a leafy town. It feels like there's trees everywhere. Like a lifestyle block. It was such a bold start to the film and it didn't have a lot to do with the rest of it except for in the end
Starting point is 00:11:43 when that deer hilariously got the bad guy in the nuts. You would not have been a hit in the script writer's room for this one, Dave. I was just... I don't know. I was pissing on everyone.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Yeah. It just starts urinating because it's funny when animals piss on people, man. It's funny. It's comedy. That's hashtag comedy. Hashtag hilarious.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Yeah, a lot of... I guess, for me, the thing I take from the film was I really enjoy the physical gags. The poo coming out, the ice cream coming out from the ice cream dispenser. I need to ask you an important question, David. Because you've only seen the film once, so this is great. I love that about you.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Did you notice a huge amount of product placement? Did brands pop out at you? Things popped out. I mean, it was the Kmart that I was in or the Walmart. There was a store that I was in. That is sacrilegious on this podcast. It's so obvious the Kmart. I didn't think Kmart was an American thing.
Starting point is 00:12:41 I thought it was just all Walmart. Someone else said that. I thought Kmart was Australasia. Why do New Zealanders think that we started came i thought he started an american brand maybe came out as launching in america now they just thought well how can we get our name out there we'll whack a shitload of money in an adam sandler flick came out jumped out and when they're in that uh supermarket towards the end there or the middle when was it gone i don't even know the supermarket it's in the third movement there were products jumping out but I mean
Starting point is 00:13:05 what sort of product placement does that put in your brain I mean do you leave thinking I saw that juice in there I better buy some
Starting point is 00:13:12 pizza juice milk grated cheese but it's not like a car or something they're driving it's like a juice
Starting point is 00:13:18 behind some dudes in a cinema they're not going to eat anything they're just like just go out there and buy some shit that's the product placement of the movie it's not they're not going to be anything specific they're just like just go out there and buy some shit that's the product
Starting point is 00:13:25 placement of the movie is commercialism yeah but that's that's the beauty of product placement I love it I love it what do you want
Starting point is 00:13:32 after you watch that movie what do you want to walk out of the door and buy fuck do you know what I could go right I could go a Mott's juice box right now
Starting point is 00:13:38 I could down one of them David right now one thing you walk out the door what would you go and buy oh Mott's hands down that's all there
Starting point is 00:13:44 I mean it's that delicious so refreshing we don't oh Mott's hands down that's all there I mean it's just so refreshing we don't have Mott's we are actually just a word to anyone if you do work at Mott's we are still interested in sponsorship from wherever that may come
Starting point is 00:13:54 we need money because number one apparently I have to buy a $250 t-shirt because someone called me on my bullshit that's right good work fans
Starting point is 00:14:01 so in an early podcast David Tim Batt said you know that catchphrase what that Tim Meadows tries out through the whole movie Tim said at some point I haven't heard the quote
Starting point is 00:14:10 but he said I would spend so I made a t-shirt with that catchphrase on it I would spend like $250 on that and someone
Starting point is 00:14:18 a fan has made the t-shirt Jesus and set the price tag at $250 oh my but I love that they've gone to a lot of trouble too because they've looked at the current currency conversion because that it's a US store so they've
Starting point is 00:14:31 got exactly this odd amount which equals exactly 250 no but that's exactly the sort of audience member you guys have got that's exactly who's listening I don't know kind of brain and I do think you I think you should spend that money on that too I have to there's no way around it but like it's that's a lot of money that is I'm gutted I'm I have to. There's no way around it. But like, that's a lot of money. It is. I'm gutted. I'm super gutted. But there's no way around it.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Quick stray observation. Two things I wanted to raise briefly. Please. The scene where they're all sort of jumping nude into the water. Yes. Off Suicide 35. Off the top rock. They were off.
Starting point is 00:15:00 They were going. They were doing the whoop whoop. Whoop whoop whoop. Which is a juggalo. Sort of. I think it's a juggalo phrase. That's what I'm wondering. Because the juggalos, they're fans of Insane Clown Posse. And their catchphrase is whoop whoop, which is what they were doing.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Maybe I was mishearing it. Was it more of a woo woo? No, dude. I reckon you're on point. It was a bit of a whoop whoop. Yeah, well, that's a juggalo. It does feel like an odd match As far as affiliation
Starting point is 00:15:28 With the juggalos for grown ups too I don't feel like they're really targeting the juggalos But that's the beautiful thing about juggalos bro It is like a brotherhood It's very egalitarian They don't look through a lens of age Or upbringing It's all about inclusion
Starting point is 00:15:42 And listening to the music of Insane Clown Posse. So I'll be curious about that link, whether there's anything in there or that was purely just... You know the ICP got investigated by the FBI for a while because they were like... That was tax evasion, wasn't it? Or something? I thought the FBI were concerned that it was a gang. Oh, right. An actual gang. There was a court case. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:02 And they basically had to determine if the Juggalos were a gang. Turns out they're not, I think. I really enjoyed that moment with the Juggalos. Oh, God, it was a terrible film. I had some other points somewhere. You got another point? I wrote down some notes. Well, listen, while you're finding that...
Starting point is 00:16:20 I've actually just dug something up I'd like to do. Oh, yes, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. While you find a point, if you would like to, we got a message on our Facebook page. And this is, I mean, we've received a few messages over the course of time. This is a pretty impressive, well-written sort of bit. From VR DLC.
Starting point is 00:16:38 It's a very unique name. Presumably a pseudonym. To try and hide from whoever that may be on the internet. Okay, I'll read to you. Thank you very much for this. presumably a pseudonym. The? To try and hide from, you know, whoever that may be on the internet. The? Vulk. Vulk. Okay, I'll read to you. Thank you very much for this.
Starting point is 00:16:49 It says, I just started listening to this, just finished episode seven, and I'm honoured that you have decided to share your slow descent into madness with the world. I have to say, I enjoyed Grown Ups 2, and even I don't ever really want to watch it again.
Starting point is 00:17:00 And even I don't ever really want to watch it again. I love movies that are disasters. Not just bad movies, but actual shocking disasters. About once a year, i get the itch to see a genuine disaster and adam sandler surprisingly enough really provides one his bad movies are simply so like very yeah really his bad movies are simply unfunny and boring like the first grown-ups was but every once in a while there is a disaster there. There's an old dog, or a Nick the Bus Driver, is a tiny dick porn star. I don't remember the name now, but he has a micro-penis
Starting point is 00:17:30 and makes a condom out of a pen cap so Christina Rishi doesn't get pregnant. What I feel makes Grown Ups 2 so special is that they didn't even try. They didn't try so hard that there isn't even a plot. There are no real antagonists. The closest thing to a problem that any character has is Sandler doesn't want a kid, and it's resolved when he decides that he does want a kid.
Starting point is 00:17:46 That's it. And between the opening and closing scenes of Sandler and his wife in bed, there's an endless stream of sketches. Hearing you share your highlight of the recent viewing makes me smile, because it makes me remember my favourite moments. The winks at the cameras, the non-sequiturs, and most importantly, John Lovitz, who I'm sure you have heard by now was not merely a critic character on The Simpsons,
Starting point is 00:18:04 but had his own amazing show called The Critic. When I watched Grown Ups 2, I had to stop and go back numerous times in order to send the highlights of the film to my friends via Snapchat. I lost a lot of friends that day, but the ones who stayed will be my friends forever. Thank you for sharing this with us. I couldn't do what you were doing, and I liked Grown Ups 2. Isn't that a fucking incredible message?
Starting point is 00:18:24 Thank you so much, The Vilk. So well written, well articulated, and all pretty good points. Although, you know, I wouldn't call it a disaster. You know, it's not a good film, but it's not a disaster like The Room is a disaster. No, and this is the point because... So when Guy and I were kicking around movie titles
Starting point is 00:18:45 for this kind of concept early on before we started, an early front runner was Con Air, but I was like, I genuinely think that movie's awesome. I completely agree. That's a sweet movie. And still Steve Buscemi, which I don't think I've ever thought of. But, and the other thing,
Starting point is 00:19:01 and then so like The Room, I kind of came to the list and I was like, no, because The Room's so bad that you would enjoy multiple viewings. Because it's bad. You're not enjoying this film because it's terrible. You're enjoying it. There are some gags that are funny and you're laughing at the gags. Exactly. It's zero.
Starting point is 00:19:17 It's not a negative. It's sort of neutral. It's zero. This movie is nothing. I always wonder, what was it like for you watching it with us? How did you feel we engaged with the film? I felt you... I was impressed at the beginning that it was...
Starting point is 00:19:30 Your cell phones were turned off. But then I thought you'd be sort of right into it. But you drifted at times. You know, there was a lot of talk between the two of you. And that made it difficult for me to watch at times because I missed certain lines. I was trying to remind Guy. At the end where Adam Sandler is talking
Starting point is 00:19:45 to his unborn child through his wife's stomach. We could probably recite that. You were talking over that. We could do it now. And I didn't know what happened. And you wanted to know what happened. Well, I did because obviously
Starting point is 00:19:56 it's him coming to terms with the fact he's a father and that was the one, as your listener pointed out, that was the one bit of conflict. He didn't want this baby. That was the resolution to that when he talked to the baby and I couldn't hear. Okay, well do you want to know what he says to the baby?
Starting point is 00:20:10 Please. He makes a joke about how he wants to sleep with the ballet teacher that he's saying to his unborn fetus that is... He's like tells the unborn fetus, hey, and you do ballet because there's a high... Because I've got to see that teacher again. Yeah. Oh God. Yeah, and then he's like, and he's like, no I'm just kidding, your mum's totally all good. Okay, I'm got to see that teacher again. Oh, God. Yeah, and then... Then he's like,
Starting point is 00:20:25 and he's like, no, I'm just kidding. Your mum's totally all good. Okay, I'm going to have sex with your mum now. Watch your head. And then just when they're about to have sex, he does a burp, a fart and a sneeze at the same time. And he says he did it for the baby. There's your conflict resolution.
Starting point is 00:20:39 There's your foreplay. God. Jesus. Is that it? Sandler is a storm of sexuality. Okay. He's a hurricane. it? Sandler is a storm of sexuality. Okay. He's a hurricane. I thought maybe there was a moment of some sort of level of empathy or something.
Starting point is 00:20:50 In fairness, we should have given you the chance to feel that. No, you accurately portrayed it. And you have seen it how many times? 39. Jesus. Foley effects was my last point. Oh, yes. That fight towards the end.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Yeah. The effects were very loud. The punching. The punching. The sound effects the punching the punching um it was overboard it was it was really effective it was like a cartoon yeah there's a weird cartoon moment within it um and we'll go back to your your point of audio production and and just a tick dave bookmark that where the principal, who has had blue paint constantly poured on himself and his belongings in some sort of weird recurring gag. End of year gag.
Starting point is 00:21:31 So he has had paint poured on him on the last day of school by his students. He goes with it and dresses up as a smurf. He then jumps out of a treehouse, which he is inexplicably inside of at the party. Rump swaying, looking at his wife and children. Lands on four people, and in the only moment of true cartoon physics in the film,
Starting point is 00:21:51 they then become completely painted with blue paint also. I noticed it happen, but I thought I'd missed something. You haven't. It doesn't... So the universe of Grown Ups 2 is not a universe where the physics are that different. You can't die. You're immortal.
Starting point is 00:22:10 We learned this because Nick has multiple fatal injuries. Throughout the film. And yet it's fine. They all do. When they jump off Suicide 35, they all receive what would be. I'm completely fine with that because some movies go, let's remove death because death's a bit of a bummer. So in our universe, death doesn't happen. And there's cleavage everywhere.
Starting point is 00:22:30 You don't need to worry about these characters dying at any point. But this blue paint. The blue paint introduces a level of cartoon physics to the universe they've built, which is referenced nary for a second in any part of the film. No, who's David Spade in the tire is pretty cartoonish. It's possible, though. No, it's possible. You can roll the guy in a tire.
Starting point is 00:22:49 I completely bought that. The transfer of blue paint. That's crazy. Metaphysical. I bought into the tire. I was there with the tire. No, I was sold on the tire. The blue paint, I was confused at that moment,
Starting point is 00:23:02 but I thought I'd missed something, and there was some other paint involved but yeah you land on someone as a blue painted man and suddenly
Starting point is 00:23:08 the other men are blue we better get to our regular features before we burn out the clock
Starting point is 00:23:14 too much man so we gave you a vague run down on what was required during the film first of all we'll go for
Starting point is 00:23:20 um We'll go for... Which is the part of the podcast where we talk about Patrick Schwarzenegger. Son of Arnold. How did you find out who's the son of arnold is he we google a lot of stuff yeah and people tell us things we looked at the credits i think what i love about our facebook um page is that we've become a real dumping ground for any small titbit on anyone who's in the film or its production or anything people go hey did you read this we're like no that's interesting going bananas when Paddy got with Miley oh yeah
Starting point is 00:24:06 Miley Cyrus and her have recently hooked up and everyone was just chomping at the bit I've said it before I'll say it again and I felt like a proud parent
Starting point is 00:24:13 that we'd sort of tabbed Paddy Schwartz for greatness was that the photo that Arnold Schwarzenegger posted up on his Instagram weeing next to he was weeing next to his son
Starting point is 00:24:21 that's daddy that was an unusual photo to Instagram real proud of the man you've grown into son favorite moment there were a
Starting point is 00:24:32 lot of sort of facials of him just standing great face the whole movie actually was fun watching extras where things were
Starting point is 00:24:40 going on where they were looking what they were doing what their faces were doing yeah but I think for old Paddy Paddy Schw I think for old Paddy,
Starting point is 00:24:45 Paddy Schwartz, probably... Paddy! Paddy! Paul, you know I've got Paddy's coming over here. Paddy. Yeah, boy.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Probably the old whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop. Paddy Schwartz is a juggalo. I like it. Yeah, I like that. I love where you're getting that. Because I imagine Paddy Schwartz going off to like
Starting point is 00:25:03 the big meeting of the juggalos, face painting going on. Yeah. Real fucked up. Yeah. Paddy Schwartz going off to the big meeting of the Juggalos, face painting going on. Yeah. Real fun. Oh, yeah. Paddy Schwartz, Juggalos. Paddy, I don't like you going to these parties. Shut up, Dad.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I'm a Juggalo now. Deal with it. Patrick, I did not get to where I am today by going to frat parties every weekend. You need to listen to me. It's a bad acceptance, Dad. I'm going to frat parties every weekend. You need to listen to me. It's about acceptance, Dad. I'm going to meet my brother. Patrick, I love you, but you need to listen to what I'm saying. Who the fuck is Arnold Schwarzenegger from, though?
Starting point is 00:25:34 Apparently Venice, all of a sudden. Not Venice Beach, but... A European version of Textedit. Yeah, for me, kind of Believing he was A juggalo And had that in his background His character made a lot more sense To me
Starting point is 00:25:48 And so that was Good My minutes Good party time It's time for us to jump in the bus Because All aboard the bus Da da da
Starting point is 00:25:56 Ba ba ba Ba Ba Roll up Roll up Roll up At the magical mystery tour Roll up Roll up Roll up It's a magical mystery tour Roll up
Starting point is 00:26:08 Roll up It's a magical mystery tour The Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour Is coming to take you away Coming to take you away Too much singing bro Yeah man Too much
Starting point is 00:26:21 We gotta pull it in A lot more Pull it in boy Should have been in So we told you about the Steve Buscemi mystery tour? Yeah, yeah. Roughly the fact we haven't watched the first film. That's right, we haven't.
Starting point is 00:26:32 So we don't know what his character's backstory is at all. He made some... He references an injury. He's got an injury. We want to know how he got it. Did he do goalposts? Yeah, he did. It was a touchdown symbol goalpost, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:46 And he's only got 40% feeling in his body. And his arms have been in that position for two years. What could cause that? What could cause that? Dr. Farrier? I'm imagining... I'm imagining... I mean, from the goalposts,
Starting point is 00:27:03 I'm imagining it was some sort of football injury. So I'm imagining it was some sort of football injury so I'm imagining in some sort of comical way Steve Buscemi made his way onto the field what do you call it in football the pitch
Starting point is 00:27:13 the field the field's good and I think maybe got targeted by some gridiron players that were playing and got taken out yeah
Starting point is 00:27:21 absolutely taken out and it was comical because Steve Buscemi's character Was never meant to be On the football field He's an older guy He looks a bit funny And he just got annihilated
Starting point is 00:27:29 So how did he get on the field? Was he following a butterfly maybe? I think perhaps This is just the whole Referencing the water boy He was a water boy Perhaps A comical sort of water boy
Starting point is 00:27:38 But maybe my brain Is just getting confused From the other Adam Sandler film Yeah yeah yeah And the water boy Somehow made it onto the pitch Yeah Somehow maybe Got into uniform.
Starting point is 00:27:46 I smell trouble. He's wearing a helmet. That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And then suddenly, boom, maybe he gets given the ball accidentally. Uh-oh, here's trouble. And he becomes, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:56 he doesn't know whether to run or just... But he freezes. He freezes. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. What's going to happen to him? And then the other players on the other team, they all tackle him very hard.
Starting point is 00:28:05 He just slams down on the ground. He's a really solid guy on this one. Yeah, there's probably some wires involved. He goes flying back, hits his head. There's a real sort of shattering moment. And that's what happened. That's what happened to him. Good theory.
Starting point is 00:28:21 That's good, man. Shit, you came in hot with the features. Yeah, well, really, I took the lead from that That sort of goal post Simply made with his hands there At some point I was invested in that My favourite one of those
Starting point is 00:28:32 Is that he's a time traveller That only kicked his own ass Yeah That's my favourite so far And I thought of it So it's a really weird one To pick as my favourite That's alright
Starting point is 00:28:41 Very like You're allowed to be Proud of yourself Self indulgent But the one One thing And you may have discussed this before the one bit of credit is um and i guess you know that whole i like it wrapped up where it began you know they went to bed and that was one day and you could almost imagine them you know they wake up again does the same day this is well i forgot to finish my sentence with you before but selma hayek actually says um we
Starting point is 00:29:12 got to get some sleep because tomorrow is a big day oh that's because you were talking over that bit i'm sorry i'm really sorry so something important did no no no no no we don't know what it is but just like if that's a normal day That's not a big day Tomorrow is the big day That was just a warm up for Monday Has there been any talk of a Grown Ups 3? There must be if it grows that much We actually tried to get one started
Starting point is 00:29:36 We tried to commission it We're thinking about submitting a script Oh god, that's good Jesus We're probably running out of time, Tim Hold on, David would like to know the status on Grown Ups 3 It's going to happen Oh God, that's good. Jesus. We're probably running out of time, Tim. Should we just whip through our shining lights? Hold on.
Starting point is 00:29:48 David would like to know the status on Grown Ups 3. It's going to happen. Guaranteed. I mean, if it made that what you want, made like 230 mil, made for 80 mil, that's a decent sort of profit. That's good for a studio. There's been talks about the script already.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Like David Spade did an AMA, I think. I think it was an AMA. So many questions here. Is David spade still doing stand-up is he i imagine he's doing stand-up in la and stuff yeah i've seen some club videos of him doing his stuff yeah right he's good uh no it's gonna happen and i mean they ad-libbed that whole movie so why would you submit a script he's got to deal with netflix he's gonna whack it in there do we know The editor in that film I picture them sitting in a little booth
Starting point is 00:30:27 And just being handed a bunch of footage You know you've got a couple of cameras Hey we took your video on camera With three months Here's what we got Make me a movie This editor is probably getting paid quite well You know
Starting point is 00:30:42 And he just slapped it There was that fucking fade that was just like an editor just giving up and just being like oh jesus there's no transition there's no way into this next bit i mean in a newsroom we use the fade like the sort of fade between shots when we're pretty desperate sure because we don't use it that often but that's for a story that you may be throwing together in an hour yeah in a feature film to do to fade out it's almost just admitting defeat it's almost worse than that because it's a cross dissolve so it's not like it goes too black which would not look good but it just bleeds into the next scene it crosses
Starting point is 00:31:20 us into what the next scene is so it's like you're watching a VHS family video for a dad who's just got this new bit of kit that lets you edit VHS home videos. It's got that. It's like a screeching brake sound effect from PowerPoint. Exactly. Like a star wipe would not be out of place after it happens. You'd be like, yep, that's the tone now. I think that's the one place where the editor really fell over. I think the editor did a pretty, I'm not an editor, I can't talk about this, but I think he did a pretty good job.
Starting point is 00:31:45 DOP, terrible. There was some terrible stuff in there. There was a couple of weird zooms and a cut to another shot. Editor, great. DOP. Set design. Set design.
Starting point is 00:31:54 I can't agree. There was no set design. I thought it was reasonably well shot. There was some pretty dodgy stuff. There was some pretty weird zooms and then cuts. We can disagree. That's fine. Real movie disagree. That's fine. Real movie vibe.
Starting point is 00:32:06 That's all good. Real strong movie vibes. Suddenly the podcast gets really boring. A genuine disagreement. Oh, no. Listen, the concept is two guys watching a movie once a week for a year, mate. Like, this is... It's insane.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Okay, let's do our shining lights and get out of here. I'll finish. I want to go to this barbecue. I don't want to be here. Yeah, you've missed a dinner or something. Remotely. Okay. Oh, but thanks very much,

Starting point is 00:32:53 Well, it's probably been mentioned in the real early on ones, but it was something about the fact that David was here, the jump off Suicide 35. I was like, yeah, cool. All right, some stunts. Yeah, good stunts from there
Starting point is 00:33:06 for me definitely inflatable boat going up because god I want to try that now I've never seen it happen physics were a bit
