Starting point is 00:00:00 today you ready okay let's go the hunt for the wildest movie of the summer everybody ends here this is your super friendly and not aggressive reminder to buy tickets immediately borderlands now playing this is just a lovely episode i just listened to this episode while walking around in the sunshine having a coffee boy did it put me in a good mood i reckon this might be my favorite episode of the season so far that i've heard at least because i've only heard half of them uh rose matafayo is on this episode briefly my old flatmates um for a little while and uh friend to all in new zealandaroa. She's been based in the UK for quite some time now.
Starting point is 00:00:45 But this is just a delightful episode because Rose makes the correct decision to sort of zoom out a little bit and start to assess what the wider philosophical implications of this project are for Guy and I. And I think it just came at the exact right part in the journey.
Starting point is 00:01:07 It's a cool leap. It's a a cool let rose is a very cool person and um yeah what a gift that we've got her on here as a guest interesting little factoid for you about this episode guy um states that he's a reverend um spoiler alert sorry that he got ordained via the internet when he was about 14. spoiler alert, sorry, that he got ordained via the internet when he was about 14. I tell you something, he claims that he can marry people in this episode. I can tell you that was not legally binding because I got Guy to be the celebrant at our wedding. And he actually filed all the paperwork and it just didn't get processed on time. So we had to get sort of a legal one who's awesome anyway very lovely woman called emma who did sort of the legal version and guy did the
Starting point is 00:01:51 illegal version um so when you hear him in this episode claim to be able to marry people I need you to know that is not true. Another just like fun artifact of, I get fact actually, artifact from the past, but fact when you compare it to now is Rose claiming that she could never be an actor and doesn't know how to act. And subsequently, obviously to this episode coming out
Starting point is 00:02:22 has this award-winning, absolutely beloved, critically celebrated BBC show that she stars in. It's cool. It's cool to see what people get up to, isn't it, over the years. Enjoy the ep. Feel that moment, love every day Cause before you know it, your precious time slips away Hello and welcome to the worst idea of all time, I am a whisper quiet Tim Bant My name is Guy Montgomery and we've got a special guest this week
Starting point is 00:03:00 Because miracles do happen everybody, it's only Rosemary Fayot Hello, hi Fay purely by chance really, I couldn't have got it out of being a guest on this podcast this week yeah, well you're sort of waiting for me to leave the house here in Edinburgh no I'm not, I'm just hanging out are you? I was eating my granola
Starting point is 00:03:18 and yoghurt you did watch, well let's be honest you watched the first half of the movie look,, you watched the first half of the movie. Look, I've watched the first half of the movie twice now and disappointed both times. I leave it exactly the same point, I think. Just after halfway. Yeah, aren't you curious to see how they resolve all of the conflict? No, absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:03:40 I would be happy to never, ever, I don't like leaving things unfinished, but I would happily leave this film unfinished really. And you have and Tim, in reference to your whispering, what's going on with you bud? It's the middle of the night and it's the middle of the week and there are many flatmates with actual real proper
Starting point is 00:03:58 jobs so I've got to keep this shit on the D It makes for quite a creepy vibe Yeah man, it's intensely creepy. It's creepy for me, and I'm the one whispering, for God's sake. I think, more than anything, it would be creepy for your flatmates. I'd rather walk out to see you talking
Starting point is 00:04:14 at normal volume into your computer than to watch you just whispering. Having a weird one-sided conversation about this movie. But the intention is that they don't wake up whatsoever, so hopefully it won't come to that. I know, but I'm just saying in a hypothetical situation, if they did, it would be much more comfortable for them if you were talking at a normal volume. Well, that's the difference between you and I, Guy.
Starting point is 00:04:34 I'm risk averse. You're not risk averse at all. That's not being a risk averse. Is it? Someone's on Skype. Someone just came on Skype. Well, look. So I'm awake and I'm here and i'm talking to you guys
Starting point is 00:04:47 in edinburgh and i've just seen the film for the 25th time and boy did it rock my fucking world truly yeah no not truly i was so depressed bro i was so sad and i got really anxious and then and then i started thinking about how many more times we got to watch it and i started getting real like it is disparate the word? Like despairing, I think that's the word I'm looking for. Despairing, yeah. Yeah. So you were experiencing abject despair in the face of Adam Sandler's fucking stupid gob.
Starting point is 00:05:18 You nailed it, metaphor. My question, oh no, but also this is this is getting somewhere guys because 25 inspiration really we're nearly halfway there like that is just mind-blowing i really just it i'm really impressed now at first i thought you guys were just so this is a fucking stupid idea and it is a stupid idea but the more it goes on the more strangely proud i become of you two um this is inspiring it is inspiring i'm here to inspire you guys because seriously it's like it wasn't even a thing to achieve and you made it a thing to achieve this never existed as a challenge to anyone
Starting point is 00:06:00 this never was a thing that anyone has done before or anyone wanted to do because no one should do it because it's stupid. But you guys have actually given it, you've deemed it with meaning. You've actually turned something horrible into something that is just a beautiful thing.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I don't know. That's very kind of you to say, Rose. Shit, Rose, I'm real touched by that. Thank you. Because I've been talking to some people I don't know who, you very kind of you to say, Rose. Shit, Rose, I'm real touched by that. Thank you. Because I've been talking to some people I don't know because I've had to pass out on opportunities to do things because of watching the movie on this trip I've been on. And I've said, if you hate it so much and if it makes you so sad, why do you keep doing it?
Starting point is 00:06:40 And the answer usually is because no one will remember the people who watched Grown Ups 2 25 times and I've said this in previous podcasts you know I mean we'll go down well we won't even go down in the record books as failures because we won't even make it to the record books it's got to be 52 there's no record book for this that's the thing
Starting point is 00:06:59 we're forging a brand new path and record book ourselves could you get into the Guinness Book of World Records? No, because it hasn't been verified. Although these podcasts should probably serve as some sort of evidence, physical evidence. They're hard asses about that. I saw on the news the other day about this really stupid one
Starting point is 00:07:19 where it was like the most amount of soldiers dipped into a soft-boiled egg. And they did it in New Zealand. Of course. Oh, it's so stupid. It was so stupid. The eggs looked really concerning. It was concerning how undercooked they looked. Oh, that's not good.
Starting point is 00:07:34 I know, but they all had to do it at the same time. And it was just so stupid. So I think, don't even aim for the world records. Was it verified? It was verified. It was a record. The irony, if we did get this verified as a world record, would be the person
Starting point is 00:07:45 verifying it would have to actually be with us for every screening so they would by virtue of that actually be part of the world record
Starting point is 00:07:52 exactly which is kind of an interesting concept you guys one of you should have been ordained as a Guinness Book of World Records
Starting point is 00:07:58 fuck you're right I'm ordained as a minister actually of the church I did it online when I was like 14 oh god that's fantastic so in the church of life classic? Of the church. I did it online when I was like 14. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:08:05 That's fantastic. So in the church of life. Classic thing for you to do. I printed it out. I got it laminated at home. Because I think I actually got the idea from friends. Because I think it means I can marry people. Yeah, you can.
Starting point is 00:08:16 That's all you can do. And also read witness documents. I know you have to be just to the best to do that. I used to fly, when I was like 15, I'd fly as Reverend Guy Montgomery. I've still got that on my flybys card to this day, because they used to let you put any title that you want, but then they changed the rules later on. But I'm still the reverend on that.
Starting point is 00:08:32 My brother did that with his one card. He was Sir Digby Chicken Caesar, and it made us laugh every time. That's a pretty funny name. It's from Mitch and the Web, seeing that. Yeah, I haven't seen that sketch. Oh, it's so good. I was also Chinan Labong on my one card. That's really good.
Starting point is 00:08:47 I enjoyed that. Which is a quote from one of the Great Friends episodes. So, Tim, you sounded really depressed when you were describing your viewing experience 25 times. Of the 25, where do you think, one being the most depressed, 25 being the most enjoyable, where do you think the screening fell for you with regards to how you felt throughout? On a scale of 1 to 10, how i feeling no one to twenty five so if it's number one that's the worst viewing you've had so far and i see five that's the most enjoyable oh okay i'm probably top five probably probably five or four no it's pretty bad yeah is everything is everything all
Starting point is 00:09:22 right at home is everything is the attention in the flat you want to talk out with us no oh that was a yes why did you make that noise why did you pause like that nah everything's groovy around here
Starting point is 00:09:37 I just feel like I'm going insane I'm in the kitchen right now because the internet got cut off and so I'm having to do this on 3G but the only place I can get 3G in the house is in the kitchen right now because the internet got cut off. And so I'm having to do this on 3G. But the only place I can get 3G in the house is in the kitchen. What has my life become, man? That would make you feel kind of insane. Is it dark?
Starting point is 00:09:55 It's very dark. The only thing that's on is I've got one light. And it just happens to be a fluorescent light. So it's casting a really horrible light over the kitchen. And I'm just looking at our stove do you guys feel that now i've been thinking a lot about life and and death um obviously because that's what i do think about a lot and um obviously going on a long plane journey i had a long time to think about it and do you feel like every second of your life is precious? I don't feel like that.
Starting point is 00:10:28 No, wait, let me finish the thought. Do you genuinely feel like this is, when you're old, when you're on your deathbed, will you be like, why did I do that? No. Why didn't I? No. Okay, really?
Starting point is 00:10:42 Absolutely not. I'd like to counter argue first tim please no but i have considered this um there's a there's a sort of i don't know if it's a proverb but there's a saying if you feast every day then when will you feast which is sort of like if if if the only meal you eat is a delicious banquet then the effect of eating a delicious banquet is removed because it's all you know this is this is a sobering, this has a sobering effect on you. This is levelling you. Exactly. This is like David Brent in the office when he says, he quotes Dolly Parton, he says,
Starting point is 00:11:13 if you want the rainbow you've got to put up with the rain. And this is the rain. Do you know what philosopher said that? Dolly Parton. People say she was just a pair of tits. What's the other one? it's um oh god i i remember i printed it out in an office once like you tried to recreate it um what's the other one that he says yeah yeah how do you want to be remembered no no it's a thing that it's a lyric that he puts up on his wall oh disarray it's a disarray disarray what is it what is it i'll google it i'll google it in the meantime tim would you like to say why you disagree,
Starting point is 00:11:47 why you don't think this is a waste of time? Well, that was a pretty good angle that you're coming from, but I was coming from a slightly different angle, where I don't consider this, I mean, it's depressing, which makes a nice sort of yin to the yang of my normal, pretty happy life. But also, I think that I'll look back finally at the end of this project with a lot of like sense of accomplishment and achievement because this is um whilst it is a ridiculous thing and Rose has mentioned that um it is a thing it's a real thing and it's a thing that it's
Starting point is 00:12:17 going to take a lot of time and maybe hard work's the wrong word but well i think it is to me to me it seems like um no i do i do agree with you guys i'm just thinking you know that maybe that would cross your mind uh at some point because because but for me it seems like because i would just waste two hours every week um doing you just go you know just fucking around on the internet right like and that's the same amount you guys are spending this year on this but i feel like it's almost and i've been thinking i've been looking into a lot of meditation techniques at the moment that's interesting yeah well because i'm looking to start meditating because i feel uh i feel terrible all the time. And I really think that this could be your way of meditation every week. Because it's the same context.
Starting point is 00:13:12 You're watching the same thing, but you're getting different meanings out of it every time. And there's something very stable about that. Meditation, you're supposed to sit there. You're supposed to observe everything that comes in and just goes away. It's kind of what you're supposed to sit there. You're supposed to observe everything that comes in and just goes away. It's kind of what you're doing. You're just letting this movie wash over you. And you're just experiencing whatever. I do feel like there's a level of plausibility to that argument.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Yeah. Because we're hitting the same, you know, it's like a constant. And what is essentially a pretty unstable lifestyle, it's one thing which is always there week after week. That's what I was thinking, actually. But that's what I was thinking the other week. I was thinking of you guys actually. And it's funny because in a year, you guys are both young, hip men. And living lifestyles.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Thank you, Rose. We're living lifestyles that are constantly changing. And you're artists. And so all the context is changing all the time. But to have one thing that is the only stable thing in your lives is this and things are constantly changing your lives but this year this is the one thing i that's why i see that at tim as well that will be interesting to listen back and hear about where we were respectively in our absolutely in our lives and i remember very you were really early in the podcast
Starting point is 00:14:22 tim yeah i i posited that this was all a ploy to strengthen our friendship. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Would you not say that that's probably what's happened? Do you know something, man? So we've had a little bit of action the last week in terms of people getting interested. A student from the Auckland University of Technology wanted to interview me for a unit about the podcast. And she said, what is the effect of the podcast being? And I listed our friendship as being a good effect of it.
Starting point is 00:14:53 So that was just one day ago that I was having that discussion. Hit the nail on the head then. And we got this write-up from some guy. Yeah, I've just got it in front of me now. Yeah, do you want to, can you sort of venture into that? Because it's really weird when people find things that we're doing which we don't know we're doing. Yeah, well, what the guy did is he referenced this thing called Superplay,
Starting point is 00:15:16 which apparently is a phenomenon in video games, particularly really old and basic ones like Mario and Sonic and stuff. Should we give him a name as well so that we can credit him for his effort? Yeah, definitely should. It's quite an interesting name. Trying to figure out the stairs real quick. The blogger's media glutton. Gertrude Perkins, maybe?
Starting point is 00:15:34 Yeah, Gertrude. That's the one. So he's describing the super play phenomenon where you play the game so much that you kind of get into every single facet of it. You do a speed run where you try and complete the game as fast as possible and you play it so many different times that you basically discover everything there is to discover about the game and this guy's suggesting that we are applying that philosophy to this film and i'll just read a little piece which is near the end of the blog uh tim and guy are experiencing grown-ups too in a way that nobody involved in its production
Starting point is 00:16:04 could have anticipated or likely wanted. The project is so unreasonable, so intense, that every aspect of the film has to be scrutinised, from the casting to the financing to even the folio. In their own way, they have demonstrated unparalleled mastery of Grown Ups 2, and from the sound of it, with every week bringing a new stage of despair, elation or exhaustion, this mastery is hard won. I thought he sort of hits a lot of the nail on the head there. Yeah, I think particularly by bringing up the point that no one involved in the making of the movie.
Starting point is 00:16:38 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 00:17:00 ...of this film ever probably considered that someone would see it as many times as us? No. Yeah, that's kind of... Yeah, that is this is this is a director who hasn't seen it it's a disposable movie this is a throwaway movie you're supposed to pay your ticket and see it and never experience it again but that's that's the that's the now the beautiful thing bringing it back to you know putting meaning into something that's meaningless yeah yeah i feel that it you create your own meaning for things and I think it's great like what if
Starting point is 00:17:27 I really hope someone I really hope the director finds out that you've been doing this Dennis Dugan our boy Dennis we've talked vaguely in passing about
Starting point is 00:17:34 how great it would be to get Adam Sandler on the 52nd podcast but I just don't know if he'd be on board with the whole project we should start we should
Starting point is 00:17:41 does he have Twitter I don't think he does do Twitter he's gotta be on twitter surely nah probably not also something to discuss where you said you wanted to discuss Sky which was and something I noticed in this viewing of half of the movie
Starting point is 00:17:57 is that there is a shot it's when they're all at the party with all the college kids or whatever on the cliff and stuff Kevin Jones has this horrible towel over his neck and he's massive and they're all just staring, they're all just looking at
Starting point is 00:18:12 the Taylor Lautner and whatever and those guys and stuff and then you just kind of go it's David Spade, Adam Sandler and Chris Rock in a row right, and I I love Saturday Night Live and I loved Saturday Night Live from the 90s where it was their heyday I have the Bad Boys of SNL
Starting point is 00:18:27 DVD it's a great one but they were genuinely like they were the Andy Sambergs they were like the cutting edge yeah
Starting point is 00:18:35 like you know they were yeah and they were they were funny at the time and stuff but they were the equivalent of you know the people that you love
Starting point is 00:18:42 on Saturday Night Live now who go off to do movies and stuff. And just that shot was just so... They all had a cold, dead look in their eyes. It was just so depressing. Like, it just makes you so aware of the passing of time so fast. They're going to be dead soon. It's like a shot of the day the comedy died, in a way.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Yeah. 20 years the day the comedy died in a way yeah and just and i was thinking about that a lot watching it today because being here in edinburgh and there's so much going on and there's so much creativity and like some of the funniest shows i've seen in the last couple days in my life i've watched and i'm like this is what chris rock was this is what adam said like these were guys who were on the hustle to let it be understood how funny they are. And then you reach that level of success where you're still like public interest and your desire to be critically acclaimed is still sort of at, sorry, what is it? The equilibrium, like it still meets perfectly. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:19:37 And then eventually it gets to a point where you just go, fuck it, I've proved myself. Yeah, when do you get,... When, as a creative... Like, surely they are creatives. They're comedians, and they create, you know, humour, or whatever. Well, hold on. Let me just stop you there. Let's use correct tense. The only assumption we have is that they were.
Starting point is 00:19:56 They were creatives. Well, yes. Sorry. They were creatives. Chris Rock's on a new tour. Exactly. Well, yeah, that's true. But at what point...
Starting point is 00:20:03 I know some other factors come into it like money and all that but at what point do you hit a point where you are successful and stuff but you're so successful that it makes you stop wanting to create like something with a thing within you that wants to create and yeah yeah create new things and be productive as a creative human being in your field in your particular set of skills it just disappears it's just it's just it seems to have gone it seems so instead of instead of just you also disappearing from the public eye with it you continue to have the same output just no investment in the product absolutely it's it's it's i guess it's not even like the loss of
Starting point is 00:20:42 integrity of what your your art is but it's the complete loss of like the will to do what you think you're here on earth to do it's like what are they doing are they just making money to just live in their fucking way i mean i drove past david spade's house when i was in la on the start was it nice it was okay you sent me a photo it's cute it's great yeah it was with this guy but but it's kind of like what are you doing you're just doing these fucking awful movies to just finance this lifestyle that you'll just live until you die and have no kids and have no legacy do you think that they're um like what about joe dirt man that was good do you think they're so good in conversation
Starting point is 00:21:18 do you think if you like sort of went to a barbecue with those guys and they're all goofing off no cameras they're just a couple of lads hanging out I guess they may enjoy life in a different way, I reckon they used to live to work and now they're just working to live as well I think. Okay, I'm going to play devil's advocate but I really
Starting point is 00:21:38 respect what you've just laid down He's gone. So with a film like Grown Ups 2 there were three writers involved one of whom was Adam Sandler now they already had a template for Grown Ups 1 which neither Guy Rye has seen but apparently is quite a bit better than this one so what
Starting point is 00:21:54 we've got is a project that would be so easy to write between three people you could probably shit it out in a number of a couple of months three months say and on a pretty relaxed schedule production time for this minimal fucking minimal i estimate that this thing was shot within what three months all up but so it's a massive so it's a massive paycheck i think in terms of profit it was somewhere in the region of 150 million dollars that's a big old paycheck for not a lot of time
Starting point is 00:22:23 or a lot of effort and maybe we're you know painting all the people involved with this film or the stars at least with the brush of grown-ups too whereas in fact this is simply a paycheck so that they can go on and do the other creative things like chris rock doing another tour it is absolutely a paycheck because rose was saying we're talking about braden higgins he had when he had to do the line no go stay yes and then rose said do you think actors what was the question just like well actually wasn't really a question it was actors are stupid yeah but just like it's funny how um it's just because that that particular line he committed to it so
Starting point is 00:23:03 much and sometimes i find acting really funny I don't think I could ever properly do it because I feel like you know you have to have a lack of self awareness to be an actor and that's usually what makes them boorish to talk to like you know like real like legit actors and shit. Wow good insight well but it's just
Starting point is 00:23:20 it's just how do you not see like bad writing and just not no one says anything or or it must be so hard you must either be killing you inside or you must not care to have to deliver such terrible lines and you said it was just because it's their job it's their money they're getting paid a lot for it well i think with the case of brayden higgins he's a young man who he's in the hunger games and stuff like he's at a point in his career where if someone goes do you want to be in a multi, like tens
Starting point is 00:23:48 of millions, hundreds of millions dollar comedy picture with Adam Sandler at the helm you trust him, you trust that legacy and the SNL history you were talking about you do not, no I'm not saying you should I'm saying that you don't, I'm saying he doesn't give a fuck about
Starting point is 00:24:03 Adam Sandler's legacy, because it's so tarnished from the last how many years Don't mess with his own heart and fuck him he's just like what about the one that plays his own sister
Starting point is 00:24:10 Jack and Jill that's bad that's my boy actually a funny movie if anyone wants to give it a chance someone was just telling me today that it's a terrible film
Starting point is 00:24:18 well is that the one with Sandberg yeah right it's like it's at least it's not like
Starting point is 00:24:26 grown-ups too which treads this weird line between being for kids and grown-ups like it's properly crass yeah here's another interesting point though and i was talking to her about about it at work we're talking about the nutty professor and big mama's house and stuff and how those there was a period of time where everyone was just okay with those films. Everyone was okay with body swap films. Everyone was okay with body transformation, like people wearing a lot of prosthetics, being a fat person, doing fat jokes and stuff. Sure, Freaky Friday.
Starting point is 00:24:53 We were all okay with it. And we still look back on it. And, mate, I love Big Mom's House. But if you watch the trailer now, it's like, what the fuck is this movie? But that was... But it was a certain... I really truly and maybe it's because people have outgrown the genre which usually doesn't happen because genre is
Starting point is 00:25:10 somewhat timeless yeah sure but but maybe adam sandler and co operate in a faction of comedy films that just have truly no like there's no place for them no but they know what they're doing do they don't do they though they're creating to a formula do you think adam sandler gives a fuck that we're doing this conversation right now he's just sitting in a house with his wife and kids watching he's like listen to this song it's called about piece of shit car i used to be hilarious and it's because going you are hilarious dad about, yeah, it's kind of funny, like, to compare Adam Sandler to someone like Steve Martin, who is still a person who did shit movies and stuff and, you know, has been working ever since he was young, but he still has a need for creative output in other ways.
Starting point is 00:25:59 He didn't single-handedly helm, like, a ceaseless torrent of shit movies. That's true. They weren't from his production house. He was sort of gambling on certain projects and hoping someone would do good in some way. Although I reckon Cheaper by the Dozen's fucking dope. I really dig that movie. I actually haven't seen it, but I love Bonnie Hunt.
Starting point is 00:26:17 It would come out looking very good after this movie. This is a good point as well, though. Have you ever discussed the fact that this is a fucking sequel as well? What do you mean discussed it? In what regard? We've discussed a lot of things over the last 24 episodes. To be fair, when I first saw Grown Ups, the trailer for Grown Ups, I was like, oh, I'd see that kind of as a joke.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Go along to the cinema to watch that. And so I really reckon once you've finished this 52 weeks, you would watch Grown Ups and you'd be like, holy shit, you know, this is actually a terrible movie but sequels just have a incredible way of of being insanely uh bad yes and obviously at the house is it different people is my question rob schneider's oh no no but as an even production like is it saying it's all the same same writer same director really just's all the same. Same writer, same director. Really? Just real briefly, just a quick sidestep.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Speaking of Rob Schneider, apparently Nick is his, the character Nick in the film is the brother of Rob Schneider's character. That is referenced precisely zero times in the movie. I only found out about that from the internet that was a post production decision they were like well maybe if we make him his brother
Starting point is 00:27:29 it will make more sense, we don't need to reference it we'll just know and say so in interviews it's insane in reference to you talking about the sequel Rose that was pretty much the reason we chose Grown Ups 2, because what could possibly be worse than Grown Ups
Starting point is 00:27:44 put a 2 on there we're running out of time But that was pretty much the reason we chose grown-ups too, was because what could possibly be worse than grown-ups? Yeah. Put a two on there. Yeah. All right, Tim, we're running out of time. Your shining light, please. The Lamensoft's house is at number 116, which was a flat that I stayed in in Newtown, Wellington,
Starting point is 00:28:01 116 Daniel Street, and I dug that flat. Made it nostalgia. Made you nostalgic. Yeah. That was nostalgic. Yeah. That was a terrible sentence. Mine was when David Spades at the train stop about to pick up his son, there's a shot of him, like there's shots from both sides of him. There's one from the angle that the train's coming in. There's this couple hanging out behind him who look like they're going to get on the train.
Starting point is 00:28:23 As the train pulls in, it becomes obvious that the last carriage is going to land on them and there's no door in and they're just standing there looking at this train without any way of getting in and then the shot changes so you can't see them again and it goes back and they've just disappeared like it's like they just gave up on getting on the train because there wasn't a door immediately in front of them that's so great and that are these good things yeah this is what we like from the movie this week so rose rose i'll just explain what the shining light is so we got really concerned that if we just continually episode after episode for the entirety of the episode talk about how shit the movie is we go insane prematurely so we just like to pick one thing that we enjoyed in
Starting point is 00:28:58 the movie from our most recent watch right i think um well one of my long lasting favorites one of the two times i've seen the first half of this film is well what i noticed is that when john luvitz comes in to the class with his jet obviously he's a janitor and stuff i didn't see in the first one that he fully brings his mop and yeah you know think halfway into the room like right next to the girls oh yeah there's no way that they couldn't have seen him. And also the mirrors in front of them. There's no way they couldn't have seen him come in with that mop and then come through. Like how fucking stupid must this woman be? Women in the world of this movie are this weird subspecies.
Starting point is 00:29:36 I know. But, I mean, to turn into a shining light, my favorite line, one of my favorite lines is when he's exiting and says to the gym instructor, say it's true even if it isn't. I've talked about that line.
Starting point is 00:29:48 It is so good. It's a great line. Yeah. It's a really good line. You've talked about ad nauseum. Well, guys. I picked a bad one. No, you did.
Starting point is 00:29:56 You picked a great one. And thank you so much for joining us. Hey, thanks for having me. I'm sorry I talked about some deep shit. I've been going through some. I loved it.

Starting point is 00:30:55 And we'll just leave with a quote from him, apropos of nothing. Okay. Being a radio broadcaster is a great job for me because I love people.
