The Worst Idea Of All Time - Replay S01E34: Corry

Episode Date: March 18, 2024

Please enjoy this victory lap of Season One episodes as we celebrate 10 years of The Worst Idea of All Time. New episodes posting on our Substack.Original Description:Guy and Tim are joined by New Zealand's greatest film reviewer and connoisseur of terrible comedies, Dominic Corry. In an authoratitive and wide-ranging conversation the three lads cover the Netflix/Sandler deal, the strangeness of Adam Sandler's mind and what it's capable of creating and Rob! Schneider. Plus a new big scam involving the movie (kinda). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

And this, our 34th foray into the grown-ups cinematic universe, we are joined by a guest who, they just bring it, man. You know, you talk about cinephiles, and I have really bad retention, so a lot of information, you know, comes in and goes straight out. But Dom Corey, listening back to this, he's an endless data source. And also, you know, shares a mantra, which is something I've taken with me from this specific episode of this podcast into every movie, which is you have to meet a movie on its terms.

So I think some welcome respite for Tim and I in 2014 and presumably also for you in whatever year you're listening to this 2024 would be my guess um yeah enjoyable episode learning learning about Arnie talking a lot about Schneider I actually looked up Rob Schneider's got a um I haven't told Tim this yet he's got a sitcom i don't know about it called rob not real rob not the one we've covered just called rob one season eight episodes i'm just you know i'm just saying that he did that um yeah real some like real uh i'd call them suppose, teasers about the Rob Schneider that we've all come to know in the intervening decade.

But yeah, really great episode. Thank you so much to Dom for joining us. I thought he was funny and illuminating, and I hope you do too. Feel that moment, love every day Cause before you know it, your precious time slips away Feel that moment Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Worst Idea of All Time, episode 34 With myself, Tim Batt Me, Guy Montgomery, and a very special guest

Hi, it's Dominic Corrie here. Very happy to be here. Thanks for having me. Yes, the Dominic Corrie. Professional movie reviewer of... Yeah, you could say that. Well, you are. What do you mean you could say that?

It's 100% true. Well, you could say it because it's true, yes. Touché. And you have his permission. Touché. Now, yes, you're here. I thought if I agreed with that, it was being self-aggrandizing okay on some level oh you're such a classic new zealander yeah i know i just a bloody classic

uh yeah so first thoughts on the movie dom we've seen it 34 times you've seen it twice now this is my second time i saw it out of choice the first time because i do like adam sandler when at times just eat that mic up by by the way, brother. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. I had kind of, before I watched it the second time, I was in a position of sometimes almost occasionally defending this movie to people. Sure. Because I had kind of a mild affection for it.

Just because it seemed to be the film at which everyone's cynicism about adam sandler kind of reached the tipping point and everyone was like boy he really doesn't make an effort anymore does he and it's kind of like well he hasn't been for a while you could say if that's your argument about his style of films but i always sort of felt like a slight defender of it because as i was saying you guys before there's something kind of you can tell it's just whatever he found funny. Yeah. It's just his mates sitting around cracking each other up. There's something weirdly endearing about that to me.

But however, having watched it again. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's not good. See, this is like how I, for years and years and years, kept defending the second two Matrix movies. And then recently, about a month ago, I watched both of them again over a weekend. And I was like, ah, they're terrible. Right, like this whole time I've been really...

Well, it's more that just I think I still have the mild affection for Grown Ups 2 that I had before. I just, it's not a film you want to watch again. You know, it doesn't really hold up. 34 times, my friend. So do you remember what you were thinking when you walked out of the cinema the first time you saw it? I watched it on DVD. Do you remember what you were thinking when you walked out of the cinema the first time you saw it? I watched it on DVD.

Do you remember what you were thinking when you were in the... I remember thinking, I snickered at certain points. These are the reasons I like the film. I like David Spade. It has a very prominent role for David Spade. Yes. I find the whole idea of the fact that Adam Sandler films are just him sitting around with his mates,

cracking each other up, I find that weirdly endearing on a certain level. I kind of like the idea that he's only satisfying himself. sitting around with his mates cracking each other up. I find that weirdly endearing on a certain level. I kind of like the idea that he's only satisfying himself. He's not concerned about an audience or the executives or anything. It's just whatever stupid crap cracks him up. And some of the jokes in Grown Ups 2, definitely you can sort of think

the only reason that's in there is because it cracks Adam Sandler out for no good reason. Can you do the adam sandler impression that accompanied that during the film uh the the adam sandler just the laughter where you went let's keep it in all right yeah i don't i can't even i can't even remember no i can't remember doing it but um that's the beauty of having your own production company i guess you get to make those kind of shots about your movies and no one can tell you to fuck off. And he probably has quite a lot of freedom,

but the first grown-ups made a lot of money. This one made a shitload of money too. Yeah, so have they announced a third one? Okay, I'm so glad you brought that up. No, they haven't announced it, but it is almost certainly coming out in 2016, I think. So they're probably looking for a summer release. That's funny because he just signed that deal with Netflix, didn't he?

For a movie. I wonder if it'll be part of that. Surely the people behind this. Absolutely, it will be. But maybe Warner Brothers still have the rights to make the sequel to that or something. Or maybe Happy Madison maintains it. Well, that's the thing. I would think that for an existing franchise like Grown Ups, it's probably not part, it

couldn't be part of that. And the Netflixflix but like as much as we talk about how they shat out this film and they did like it's probably was shot over a couple weekends i've seen 48 hour films with more artistic integrity than this it's about as plotless as films get yeah but the netflix for deal thing i think that they will be fucking finding it in i think adam sandler will be finding it even more than he's finding it in with grown-ups too for those four movies well i mean you'll make them concurrently you'll like run from one stage to another with this yeah because it's unclear if they'll even come out at the movies yet oh i think people are thinking that they might get a token day and date release. But yeah, you'd imagine that if they were going to do it. I would think they wouldn't, eh?

Why not? Because it's a Netflix deal. So surely the whole point is that you can... Or does Netflix get to release it first? Yeah, but I think there's an argument to be made for a high profile film like that might benefit from the awareness that a cinematic release generates. I'm just saying that they haven't come down either way.

Right. They haven't announced for certain that it's a Netflix exclusive. And it would be beneficial. You could say no, but it's just about driving people to the thing for the exclusivity. But all of Netflix movies came out of the movies first, and that helps films become known about. I guess that's true. I'm just saying there's an argument there for it. It probably won't happen.

But yeah, it made me think that I can't imagine Warner Brothers wanting to relinquish the possibility of releasing Grown Ups 3. It's Golden Goose. But yeah, there's so little to it. It's taking that idea of Adam Sandler just sitting around cracking him and his friends up to the nth degree in that so little... What is, 3 or the Netflix deal?

This one, this one. Oh, 2, yeah, yeah, right. This film, sorry, I'm back to the film itself. It's hard to keep up sometimes, Tom. You move at a lightning pace. Yeah, it's just, that's both what's endearing about it and probably what's kind of shit about it, you know? Yeah, I know what you mean, though.

It does create a spirit, a very true spirit of, albeit very juvenile. Yeah, childish, infantile, idiotic humour. Very unfiltered. You're seeing the world through Sandler's eyes. You're seeing what Adam... Through Sandler's sandler tinted glasses yeah and it's terrifying yeah the most awkward thing about that that as a style of comedy is now there are kids involved because he's a family man and so that's his world and so children yeah it's true it's true i as i was saying before i really

like that's my boy i thought that was a massive return to form for him, but he's made a lot of stinkers recently, and they've all got some horrible family vibe, like just go with it. Blended. Time stories. Blended. Blended was the worst. I saw that at the movies.

That was brutal. That makes Grown Ups 2 look like Grown Ups 1, and it makes Grown Ups 1 look like Happy Gilmore. Jesus. Was thatoa Hayek or was that Drew Barrymore that's right

that's right Drew Barrymore Jesus I saw them doing an interview for that on the Ellen show and it was just not a good watch

at all and then at the end they took a selfie Drew Barrymore did a plug for her own Instagram on the Ellen show come on you're

Drew Barrymore you shouldn't be plugging your own Instagram on TV that is kind of pathetic that is fucking low. Yeah.

We're embarrassed to mention our Twitter tags on this podcast. And this podcast sucks dick. This podcast is fantastic. Yeah. The biggest shock for me is that I was kind of like, oh, it'll be fun to watch that again because it's a crummy comedy and I have a weird affection for crummy comedies. Yeah, you do.

And we'll be able to make fun of it with you guys and and i was enjoying it like that for about the first hour and 10 minutes but i just had forgotten how long that party scene is it just goes on and on and i just love the way this is and then we'll we'll culminate when a big party when everyone's dressed up yeah and we'll have a fight yeah there'll be a fight what was amazing to me is that you were watching it and then you realized the frat boys were arriving there's going to be a fight and you were like oh yeah i forgot about the fight you were really upset but it's hilarious i thought we'd reached a climax by that point no exactly i mean where where is the thing that happens in the movie like yeah that's meant to be it and you couldn't even remember that it existed in the first place.

The things that I laughed at most the first time I watched it, like genuinely laughed at, I thought a lot of the frat boy stuff was quite funny. Just the overly doing the handshakes and stuff like that. Sure, there's humour there. Yeah, and I laughed at a lot of David Spade stuff. I think the stuff with his son, it's just weird enough to be funny a lot of the time.

This is why it was good to have you for the watch because guy and i have lost not only perspective on the movie but reality generally as a result of this thing um so it's good to bring in uh it's sort of a defender actually at one point don when i was watching the movie i you your perception on how you were watching it or just the way you're explaining it to me actually altered the way i was looking at the comedy for about 10 minutes and it was a much more enjoyable film i think that you had a like relative to us i think you were having a pretty good time watching that i just said for the last half hour that was kind of miserable uh but yeah it was interesting you mentioned reality because i think um you know these films they do not take place in reality

they take place in some weird sitcom fuzzy land, even more so than other Adam Sandler films, which stop short of having Family Guy-esque cutaways. He's gone quite fantastical with this one. There's some real cartoon elements to it. There's a particular sequence when the tyre starts going loose and running through the town with David Spade's character inside of it. There's a real Simpsons couch.

A lot of the physical jokes sort of would kill most of the people involved. Yeah, man. Like, they kill Nick early in the film. Like, very early. They break his neck. First of all, they hog tie him to the top of the bus, like, hanging down,

like some sort of vampire man. And then they drop the rope. Kevin James drops the rope kevin james drops the rope he lands on he's been bullied by adam sandler he wants to make an announcement when he comes into the bus so he's like all right what's up motherfuckers bam i'm gonna drop somebody on their neck pulls the rope nick drops onto his head from about a half a meter and a game of in a game of one-upmanship adam sandler takes the bait and goes for it by accelerating the bus and saying, watch this, as Nick Swanson's neck collides

with the back of the bus. Yeah, so his body travels down the entire length of a school bus and then smashes into the rear of it, which would break his neck again. Like, if there was any hope of him being alive from the drop, he's dead now. And if Adam Sandler's response to this is Lenny Fader is, you've got gotta respect that

that's what he said that's where we are some some some uh shallow part of me enjoyed the physical comedy of his body sliding down and hitting his head i did i snickered silently did you know for a moment like did you let the reality seep into that the kind of medical well what i think about when that ever happens is i think this is what they're probably doing to Nick Swanson emotionally in real life when he hangs out with them. And so I feel like that's an effective cinematic representation of the way

he would be treated. Here's something interesting. Do you know that Nick Swanson's character is supposed to be the brother of Rob Schneider's character from the first Grown Ups film? They just never mention it. How do you know this?

It's in the synopsis and stuff. They've got it in a lot of the promo material, but it's never referenced whatsoever in the film. Now, we were discussing earlier why Rob Schneider wasn't involved. You saying because he got lowballed in the offer. Did you read that? Did you hear that? That's what I've heard through the Grown Ups.

It was a lot of people send us articles through the Facebook page, and so we read quite a lot about the backcountry. Actually, you know what? I think I read somewhere that his wife was about to give birth, and he couldn't go away from her, which to me sounds like something you say when you said no and called their bluff, and then they made the movie without you.

Fuck, the timeline does fit, though, because you're right. He does have at least one young kid. i thought it might have had to do with that sitcom rob that he stars okay so you're telling us about rob that was it was an exclamation mark in the title thank you don't know for the correct pronunciation of rob uh god that's retired as well because it's such an interesting monosyllabic name to put an exclamation on rob it wouldn't be it'd be like chris that's kind of cool if it was chris rob it's true rob yeah but rob schneider is such a massive personality you just got to put an exclamation mark i guess i'm in a

better position to judge whether or not the film suffers for his absence because you haven't seen the first one right no sir not once but you have seen him turning up in all those other films you think he brings something i love i love it when Rob Schneider turns up. Oh, yeah. Rip his fucking head off. You can do it. He's great. You can do it is like a classic catchphrase from my formative years.

There's got to be an actual... It would seem weird that all of Adam Sandler's films are about giving his buddies jobs. It would seem weird that then negotiations would break down. Oh, there's been a falling out, man. Because the thing with Rob Schneider is that he is very, like, Buddhist. He's, yeah, like, he's been practicing Buddhist for at least 15 years. Buddhist. He's been practicing Buddhist.

He's been practicing meditation, like, very intense forms of meditation for a very long time and he's very into the philosophies of it and stuff and he's he's actually fucking nutty because because i interviewed him which is how i know about all the kind of zen shit oh when he came over yeah but if you um uh yeah he did a gig he did stand up yeah he did a stand-up show which i Which I didn't go to. Rob hosted Seven Sharp. Did he? Yeah. That's odd. That's so low. But where was I going with that? You interviewed him. You interviewed Rob Schneider.

You know there's a rift between him and Sandler. He's a Zen master. You think there's a rift between Rob? No, fuck, I have no idea where I was going with that. You know, he recently had gotten in a bit of trouble. He got fired from a lucrative advertising gig quite recently. Oh, this is what i'm saying yes and it links into what i was going to say what was it to do with it he was talking about

um he is a big believer that vaccines he's a vaccine guy yeah he's into a lot of that kind of shit he's very vocal about it online and he was something like the spokesperson like i think he might have been a hired voice or something for a for a medical company in the states because of course america and new zealand the only two countries that can advertise medicines to consumers and in america it's like huge industry and he's the voice i think of a vaccine producer like you know if you follow up the chain and then he's coming up with all the shit online that has mercury in them and they're just like global population programs by the elite and then they fired him and he was all like what about free speech and i'm oppressed and yeah yeah he's insane but in kind of a grand did you miss him in this film well well we can't say can we oh do you just mean just like do you sit there going wow

that scene could really have done i don't i would never think of this film that there's one thing which we could come in and fix it but i know what but like now that you bring it up i wouldn't mind just if they chucked in a bit of it's actually kind of the grossest part of the first one because the whole gag is that he's got like a 65 year old girlfriend he's got this really old wife that's kind of funny he's always pashing her and oh really it's quite a good gag. So your question really is... I've got a film to recommend to you, Tim. Yeah?

Grownups. Well, I'll tell you what. After watching the trailer for Grownups 2, the cinematic trailer, which features almost precisely zero content that made it into the cinema release version of Grownups, they've actually got some Grownups jokes in there, and they're all right.

They're good. I giggledled Oh, from the first one? Yeah, the kid says, the adults are talking about Getting wasted, the kid's over here So Adam Sandler tries to cover for it And the daughter says, what's getting wasted, daddy? He says, it's when you have too much ice cream So then the kid starts going, I want to get wasted I want to get chocolate wasted

That's in the trailer for part two Yes, and quite a lot of it yeah so about of the two minute trailer for grown-ups to like you know 15 of that is um yikes and and a lot of stuff that didn't make it into the deleted scene that's very common with comedies eh yeah i actually think there's there's issues around false advertising with that because one instance where that happened that really annoyed me was The Dictator, that recent Sacha Baron Cohen film. There were heaps of jokes in the trailers

that weren't in the film. And it's kind of like, it's one thing to have your trailer fulfill a role greater than just a preview of the narrative. But if you set up a scene, then that scene comes along, you're like, oh, cool, that joke's coming that I like.

You're sitting there waiting for it and then it never comes you're like what's happening that happened there was about three of the biggest laughs in the dictator trailer just aren't in the film shit and weird i actually think i actually think that's false advertising okay good point let's let's do something well made we need to we need to get into our segments yeah we do because um we've only got roughly 10 minutes left. I could talk about this film for hours. I know.

I don't doubt it for a second. We should do a second part. I'll just say one last thing though. I think I kind of made this point earlier but the reason I kind of felt a little bit of protectiveness towards it when I'd only watched it once

until I was subjected to it a second time and I no longer feel overly protective towards it was that, as I said, it seemed like the film that people decided they were going to just call Adam Sandler out for what he's doing. Like, can you believe what he's doing now? When it's kind of like, he's kind of been doing that for ages

and that's always been a shtick. I think in a weird way, he's kind of been true to himself. Yeah, yeah. Okay. And I just, it's always, I like to fight cinematic snobbery at every turn. And people, it's very easy to be snobbish about it in some of the films. Oh, completely.

But I mean. Well, you've always kind of said, I'm paraphrasing, but your whole vibe, Dominic, is that you've got to assess a movie kind of on its own terms. Totally. You've got to meet the film on its own terms. You've got to, it can't be about what you want from a film. It's got to be about what that film's trying to do. Yeah.

And, I mean, that's not the only way to see a film. But you would have to say. If you're trying to assess a film it's got to be about what that film's trying to do yeah and um and and i mean that's not the only way to see a film i just if you're trying to assess a film even with that philosophy and approach grown-ups too at a minimum has an incredibly confused tone oh it's a it's a bad film look it's not it's it's a total it there's there's there's no through line it just it reeks of laziness as as you say. Someone sent us an article this week suggesting that there was no script when they started shooting. That's highly believable.

Adam Sandler has come out and said, we ad-libbed the entire film and then released it as a movie and made $180 million off it. It kind of reeks of that. But there's also kind of something weirdly maybe awesome about that. It's great.

He's making the audience come to him I'm going to give you exactly what Adam Sandler thinks is funny and if you think it's funny too then come on down someone just adapted Friday night at Adam Sandler's house into a movie it's like what most people turn into a podcast he turned into a blockbuster

it has the production value aspects of it are what a sitcom does when they have like a very special episode it's like and there'll be a party and costumes and we'll have a musical episode of any sitcom or like the two part

the family goes on holiday special and there's a bit with a quarry jumping you know it's very innocuous but also like it reminds me of like a weird happy day special yeah they got out and did something weird yeah yeah and also just it's always fun in adam sandler films spotting the nepotism you know spotting the people he's grouped but this film is constructed entirely of favors or whatever you know of just helping out past friends yeah you you theorize during the film that everyone who had a core role

got to bring along four friends. Yeah, and they all got to have speaking roles. It's like in The Sopranos, they talk about no works and no show jobs. It's like these are a bunch of no work jobs. You just got to be there and you get paid. It's like normally you get swag from these movies if you're in like a certain tier of the cast. But in this movie, your swag is you get swag from these movies If you're in like a certain tier of the cast But in this movie your swag is

You get to bring two mates who are on screen For a portion of it And the other extras will all want like Walk on rolls from radio competition That's probably Oh shit yes thanks for reminding me So Grown Ups 2 has a link to A front page story on today's Herald

Which is a massive scam So Grown Ups 2 has a link to a front page story on today's Herald, which is a massive scam that's being run at the moment where there's this casting agent guy who's created this conference thing where a whole bunch of teenagers are being promised that they're going to get introduced to Disney producers and things like this in America. So the first thing you go to is free. And then the second level is you pay them $11,000. I heard ads.

I've heard ads for that. It's like, do you want to be in Hollywood? You know, but the service they're offering is like, we'll assess your ability. We're talent scouts. It's fucking mental,

bro. It's such a scare. And anyway, so Will Wood, actually, who's a fan of the podcast, he sent me this, like earlier this week, he sent me a link. So Will Wood, actually, who's a fan of the podcast, he sent me this, like earlier this week,

he sent me a link and he's like, bro, check out this scam. I was like, this doesn't smell too scammy to me. But he sent it to me

specifically because they quote the fact that some of the casting directors from Grown Ups 2 are involved in this thing. So they're like, Will introduced you

to the casting director of some Disney movie and some fucking other thing. And grown-ups too. Grown-ups who are particularly adept in casting people who paid for the privilege as opposed to have actual talent. Exactly. And that $11,000 package that they're like selling to as many people as they can get, gets the kid over to America and like one parent, but not the airfares. So they like look after one parent or something but it's anyway it's fucking mental and uh the herald's done like a front page expose on this thing

that's awesome yeah it sounds like real nice old school scammery it's kind of charming like a return to a very analog form of yeah like something out, like something out of The Sting or something. It's kind of like, oh. And the guy had such a great quote as well. They said like, dude, this really smells like a scam. And he said, I don't understand what's a scam. It's a real date. We have a real venue. And we put on a real event.

And if people don't wish to come to the second one, they can go about their wonderful day. That's literally what he said. It's one, they can go about their wonderful day. That's literally what he said. It's amazing. They can go about their wonderful day. Yeah, a glorious story. Anyway, okay, so we need to rip into the first thingy, which is the Steve Buscemi mystery tour,

which you corrected me in the film. Steve Buscemi. Okay. Buscemi. Buscemi. And Matt Groening. Yes. Matt Groening is the creator of The Simpsons, not Groening.

Groening. I'm a pedant. No, it's good. We're all learning, mate. We're all learning. Hey, I just noticed something with the pause screen, so I don't interrupt. You know how you pointed out how one of the frat guys was Jared Sandler, who's obviously the nephew or something?

Yeah. The credits are behind us, just by the way, folks. Yeah, just above him, Chris Titone. Titone is Adam Sandler's wife's maiden name so that's some other nephew too he says you've been dropping some knowledge throughout this movie and podcast we appreciate it dominic um the steve buscemi mystery tour is where you have seen grown-ups i can't remember the injury yeah so so now from the clues that you were given, 40% feeling in his body, the touchdown. Is he talking to Kevin James?

He's talking to Chris Rock. Chris Rock, oh, right. Oh, yeah, that's right. So I was going to say maybe Kevin James fell on him. Is that a good guess? Is that an obvious guess? Could be. It could be.

I don't get how the touchdown symbol comes into play. And analyze the fun of the segment. Because I know that basketball plays a role in the first one. Okay, okay, okay. There's a whole thing about, it's so funny how they do the stupid thing with jumping into the pool because a lot of the comedic value of the first one is swinging into a lake. It's like, oh, they really evolved that gag.

I think it might be something to do with that. Right. This is just a guess. Where like Kevin James comes off and lands on him or something. That would be similar to the theory that I posited, I think, in episode 29, Prawn Salad. I have no memory. It was something to do with Steve Buscemi

hitting the water in a funny way because everyone in this movie jumps with such bad technique. I was like, well, maybe he was at the lake in the first one and he fucked up his jump and then he actually got injured. So it could, if it's a rope swing into water. And maybe, maybe someone, when Kevin James landed on him, someone was like, touchdown, because he like landed on him. No, but he says.

I like that. he like landed on him nobody says i i like that but he says that his arms have been held in that touchdown position for two years oh right because he's because he ends up in a cast maybe yeah exactly so he's so i think it's very safe to assume he's in a cast that has locked his arms in the touchdown position for a very long time, and now he's still only got 40% feeling in his body. So based on those two medical clues, like, go house MD on us. I'm going to go back to Kevin James fell on him. That would be so funny if it's true,

because it's just the same game. It wouldn't surprise me. I'd just be like, yeah, good on you, Sandler. You win this round again. All right, on to the next segment as we whip you for a tour around the worst idea of all time. Patty Schwartz. Party time. It's Patty Schwartz party time.

It's party time. You guys are referring to Pat Schwarzenegger. That is correct. Patrick, friend of the podcast. I call him Pat. I didn't know how to spell his name one time So I wrote it down in my notes It's Paddy Schwartz

Guy took one look at that And cracked the fuck up And ever since then The segment was born And a nickname I follow him on Twitter Yeah I'm going to follow him after this You should

I revere his father So Yeah I'll do that just to support Arnie So yeah the segment is Do I have to pick my favourite Pat Schwarzenegger moment? Absolutely. There's what we're after. Well, there were two bits where he outdid himself with lamelessness,

or lamefulness rather, when he's following the, you know, elaborate handshake gag. And he's kind of following with his head. He's been instructed to follow the moves of it as if he's enjoying it by the director. Yeah. But he's just basically kind of acting like a hummingbird, sort of moving his head around. Yeah, he reacts to every second of it. Yeah, and he kind of just, it's almost like he's watching Tinkerbell fly around.

Right. And suddenly he's like, oh, oh, oh. It would be cool to isolate him in like a gif and then throw him in a different scene yeah like they did with that you know that flying bagel with the hockey player have you guys seen that sorry i'm off track anyway he did that twice and the second time he did it i think i appreciate it more because he looked even stupider and he was just sort of reacting too quickly so that's going to be my favorite moment the second time he's following along with milo ventimiglia and uh jacob taylor lortner sorry he played oh you've revealed your twilight colors yeah i just

call him i just call him jacob and why wouldn't you uh uh yeah when he's following along with the handshake and he just looks like a dick he's probably thinking all right your dad's arnie you gotta nail this petty okay just don't don't oversell it don't undercook it don't oversell it just get it just right okay here we go here comes the action okay whoa oh hey what's that whoa hey whoa oh oh hey hey hey i've got a question for you guys do you reckon that adam sandler and rob schneider are going to be able to patch things up so that he can get into three presuming that there's some kind of beef going on because there's no official story about beef i feel like if they had if they had had a falling

out i feel like adam sandler wouldn't mind saying that so i'm i'm still you reckon not entirely convinced that something bad happened i'm still i'm still 51 believing that there was just scheduling issues there's a i don't this is based on nothing and especially his films but i think adam sandler's a nice guy yeah i don't know why i don't know why because there's a lot of evidence i think he's a nice guy no it's similar to what dominic was suggesting before that it's just him with his friends. Like, you know, he looks like... Yeah, he looks after people. He comes across like a nice guy.

Yeah, his friends are in all his movies. Yeah. Yeah. His friends are some of the best parts of this movie. Do you think that's a false flag thing? Like, I've been tricked into thinking... No, no, no. I think he might actually be a nice guy.

How can we assess the niceness of a celebrity anyway, you know? Like, whenever you hear that apparently some celebrity is an asshole, I always think, well, how can we assess the niceness of a celebrity anyway you know like whenever you hear that apparently some celebrity is an asshole i always think well how can you know there's probably always someone who's gonna say that about exactly and there's always one incident where you would fucking yeah someone was tired and they no one would hold up to that level of level of scrutiny it was like um justin timberlake's in the country who was on miley cyrus who came the other day and the paper was like oh she you know um uh ignored her fans were at the airport and it was like 30 people i was like maybe she's did a fucking long day man she's on tour that's like i remember the worst beat up like that was like years ago some

shocking story about peter jackson had bought property in some area and they'd found some local who was like he could have come down and shouted us all a round of beer at the local pub oh fuck you oh my god well the guy is the guy's technically right that is something peter jackson could have done i mean he could have done you can't fold it was just the tone of the article was wrong because i'm just saying he could have done that he also could have done a lot of massive hot air balloon balloon and started his own hot air balloon festival called the Peter Jackson Hot Air Balloon Festival. I'm surprised that Arnie lets a guy that's skinny walk around claiming to be his son. That's someone that I'm pretty sure classic Arnie would call a girly boy. Listen, Arnold loves all his children.

Legitimate, illegitimate, here and far. He's a lovely man. He's a family man. Did we see Patrickartzenegger's legs in that film because you know that was his arnie's classic weak spot as a mr universe competitor were his calves is that right he was he was yeah he always he never had big enough calves well it turns out he eventually did have big enough big enough calves oh well that was that was just i mean in terms of him being one like the main right that was that was his flaw if he had one if you like arnie's such an inspiration he's such an

inspirational figure have you ever hear him talk i've heard like extended interviews with them there was a real good one i love arnold schwarzenegger he's just he just sits out to do shit arnold schwarzenegger he's super clever man and he just like he's very self-aware he's a fucking governor of california like very self-aware. He was the fucking governor of California. You cannot be anywhere near a dummy and pull that off. I don't know. He doesn't have an academic background. I'm not concerned about his intelligence level.

I just think he's awesome. He made lots of money off of construction when he moved to America. Yes, property, yeah. Did someone say this theory on the podcast before? He started a building company called European Building. It was like he put the word European in front of what what they were offering it was just normal building yeah but at a much higher price right because there were these good looking european guys building your house it's like gourmet building yeah and he made a shit ton of cash and that's how he got to start god damn it and his son

can't act and he can do anything his son can do anything i thought taylor lortner was kind of funny playing a complete jerk who's probably what he is like in real life. Did you buy him? Oh, I guess he's not acting like that. I don't buy any... You can't buy any... There's no suspension of disbelief

at any moment in that film. No? What about David Spade? It's a weird pantomime tell. What about Higgins? David Spade is... He does have stand up affectations to his acting style but it suits sitcoms

and it suits sophomore comedies like that man imagine if David Spade did a dramatic role like a like a

punch drunk love kind of move I would love to see that same I think he's got pathos fucking I'm with you on that we gotta wrap this bad boy up

we gotta put a bow on him. We've also got to just check out our shining lights very quickly. Hard out. Hard out. I like Brayden Higgins acting at the party. Brayden Higgins was having the best time shooting all of the scenes at the party. Brayden Higgins' mouth is agape literally the whole time. He's got one speed and that is fucking happy.

That was my shining light. My one is also at the party. and they're just fucking happy. That was my shining light. My one is also at the party. So Tim Meadows' wife, Mary, in the film, the character's name is Mary, is skiving off every time she's on screen if she's not talking.

She just is taking it hard. And there's a bit where they do, when Adam Sandler is fighting Stone Cold Steve Austin, or about to. And they're doing the walk off in a circle shot what's that shot called Dom where they do it like a pan around the

is there a name I don't know whatever is there a name for it there was lots of editing in the shot that you're talking about when they're doing the

like when you particularly do a camera and just run around in a circle around two people I think it's a circle shot circle shot during that so Mary is in the back

and she's just like kind of waving at the camera man but she's slightly out of focus doing little cat movements towards the camera does not care

and she's you can tell Tim Meadows because there's other bits where she's skiving off and it's unbelievable that those were the best takes like those are the ones that made it through

to the movie we were watching and you can tell that Tim Meadows is trying to be like no no no Tim Meadows is mailing it in as well. Not as much, man. She gets him a few times.

She starts cracking him up as well. He doesn't instigate it, though, from what I can see. She's instigating everything. She's like Eve leading Adam astray. I'm looking forward to looking up who that actress is. Oh, yeah. She's the poor man, Wanda Sykes. Don't say we didn't give you anything From this Dom

You can go home and google that actress Yeah I'm going to look at the IMDb trivia page For this movie as well It's fucking barren man We actually need to jump on there and add a bunch of shit To our eyeballs And grown ups too

Shining light is like a bit you liked Yeah The bit you liked. Yeah, do you have... Yeah, please. The bit I liked in this one... I'm trying to think of something I laughed at that I maybe didn't laugh at the first time. I can give you some examples of when you laughed. Yeah.

Oh, that's cold. The little baby's like that. Yeah, but I've seen that a million times No one needs to have that pointed out to them I actually There was one line What was it? It was a really bad joke And I laughed and then Guy laughed at me for laughing at it

Where was it? I think it was something that David Spade said Oh yeah When they're on top of the Quarry And they think they're about to leave and the frat guys aren't going to let them leave because they're going to make them jump off and they go to walk out and he's like, no, don't go that way. And he's like, oh, what, is there an elevator or something?

Only Spade could have solved that line. Dominic, Corey, it's been an absolute breath of fresh air having you on the podcast. Thanks for having me. We've been going deep into the rabbit hole. It's a tough film to watch a lot, man. That last half hour really lags. Film is your life. Have you ever seen a movie 34 times?

Probably Commandos come the closest. Great choice. Excellent. Do you think that anyone else in the world has watched Grown Ups 2 as much as Tim and I? Do you know what? I really don't. Would you say we are the world record holders?

Yes. Yes, unofficially. Awesome. Yeah. Fuck yeah. I'm proud of that. Okay, let's chuck a knife in this one or a fork or a bowl or something.

It's done. Thank you very much, Dominic. It's been a treat. Thanks for having me, guys. All right. And as always, don't watch the movie. It's been a treat. Thanks for having me, guys. All right. And as always, don't watch the movie. Good God, don't watch it.
