The Worst Idea Of All Time - REVIEW: Love On A Leash

Episode Date: March 27, 2020

This was originally a pay-walled episode available only to Patreon supporters. Please consider if you can #PayTheBoiz at patreon.com/join/TWIOAT.Sweet baby Jesus, this was a curveball. Take a fantasy rom-com, add a dog, subtract a soundtrack and you're halfway to figuring out Love On A Leash. This film is brilliant and recommended to all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I can't believe I'm a dog. Oh, that's messed up. A magic curse. I gotta get help now. One chance to break the spell. Find true love. It's the only way. It will be the quest of a lifetime.

Please help me find a real man. Oh, she's the one. There are no real men. I'm right here. It's not easy to be a homeless dog, is it? How about be my roommate? Why don't we call you friends? That's what I'll do.

Hello, everyone, and welcome along to The Deciders Club, number 15, with me, Guy Montgomery. And me, Tim Batt. The Deciders Club, for those of you who are listening, you already know what it is. But for those of you who are listening at a different time who don't know what it is,

pretty much on the Patreon uh certain subscribers get to choose the movies we watch and discuss and can i say that this time around we have been given a real gift uh both tim and myself uh who are uh separated by quite a substantial amount of land and ocean presently have have just watched the 2011, presumably self-funded and created rom-com, Love on a Leash. The blurb of which is, love takes a fairy twist in the slice of romantic comedy.

A young woman falls for a stray dog with a secret. By night, it becomes a man follow the journey of the golden retriever and the friend who gives him a home uh hiya tim how are you i'm so confused about this film the good thing about it was guy it's right up there on youtube someone's just chucked it on, and the production company and people around it, I don't think are up to Sony standards, where they've got that content ID copyright thing, where it just pulls it off of YouTube.

So it's just hanging out. Are you suggesting that Phoenix Pictures, spelt F-E-I, F-E, sorry, N-I-X, are maybe not operating in the same wavelength as some of the bigger distributors uh i am suggesting that yeah and do you know what one of the early tip-offs for me was the fact that there's no music in this film ah there is one brief flash of music when the dog goes to uh turn the television off during an advertisement or television show. They play recognisable snippets of China Girl by David Bowie.

And what is potentially a problematic sort of bit of filmmaking, but that's all for later. Not only do they not use music tim um i mean you're a guy who notices audio detail you know much more closely than i do uh what was going on with the uh the mix on this thing they just i think they just forgot to add a bunch of stuff in i mean like the number of times i had because i was listening on my i was uh watching on my on my bluetooth headphones and the number of times i thought that they were malfunctioning because there'd be like huge chunks of not even just like uh you know gentle silence but like white noise level silence and i'd be like oh that's weird i've lost the connection so i'd turn them off just to watch it through my laptop

speaker so i could hear you know what was happening but oh no no that's just how they've mixed that bit and it just happens ad finitum throughout the movie, like over 20, more times than I care to count. It's innovative. It's an innovative way to mix a film. It keeps you on your toes. It keeps you constantly thinking about your position with the film, your relationship with it. But it was deeply bad.

If there's a word I could choose to describe the sound mix, it would be bad. And what about if you were given the rights to choose a word to describe the movie as a whole? I think I'd stick with confusing, to be honest. I think, yeah. As you understand it, what is the plot of the film?

This film is all about the question, have you ever wanted to fuck a dog? A little, just a little, little bit. Have you ever seen a gorgeous golden retriever and been like, I know society's norms and culture's mores in 2018 but i kind of a little bit want to fuck that dog and then this movie sets out to provide a premise to fulfill that um that wish so it's about a dog a dog who's also he used to be a man but he was the playboy he he messed around you know cheated on women uh man about town and he got cursed to live as a dog until he could find true love so he got transformed into a golden retriever and when he's as a golden retriever he is

incredibly sassy he's like some kind of downtown los angeles comic or something it's like working out a lot of material how would you describe this dog's personality uh almost like i don't yeah it's it's full of quips obviously made only to itself is uh the inner monologue of the dog is constantly running uh and sort of i mean the less the less questions asked about you know how he became reincarnated as a dog and uh what his relationship to that is the better because they're not necessarily clearly defined and i i think that the movie does very well to gloss over that uh because it's he sort of flits between lusting after woman and being confused like sort of being like oh i'm a dog like knowing he's a dog and being okay with it and then discovering he's just become a dog uh and one a line that really

elicited a big laugh for me is when the dog says, I can't remember if there was someone who said some line about who they are, and then the dog said, big deal, I'm Alvin Flang, which is presumably the name of the person who he was as a playboy when he was reincarnated, is it? But then he turns out his name's Prince. But the name Alvin Flang for me is just like, that is a panic.

That is you try to make up a name on the spot. Because this is something I used to do when I was younger, is I'd always try and make up names, and say them out loud to see if I could make up convincing names. Alvin Flang. Like 50% of this movie is recorded in ADR, probably on a Yeti surrounded by egg cartons, not unlike when we first got together and started recording.

And Alvin Flang is very much a first go around at making up a name. I get the sense that this movie was put together and then given to a comedian who was in a voiceover booth. And maybe they had free license on the script as well. Because all of the stuff that the dog says to me sounds like an ad lib. And he makes up these little songs. So you're just watching the dog walking down the street for a bit. And his inner monologue plays through narration. He's just going like, I'm a dog, I'm a dog and I got some sore feet.

I'm a dog and it's hot on the street. It's quite endearing, but it's so tonally completely different from the rest of the film. It's almost an inspiring watch. If anyone out there wants to make a movie but doesn't quite think they have the chops, I reckon a screening of Love on a Leash should be enough to push you over the edge.

And also, it's not even done in a way that's... I think it outstays its welcome slightly, but it's fun. It's so stupid and like it's so patchy that you almost forgive all of its myriad flaws and enjoy yourself i had a really good time and when i went on the imdb tim i was great i'm glad you were you're going to im IMDB because I just brought that up before. What were you struck by, Sky? Blown away by its rating.

And that's not to say that I think it's not worthy, but 9.7 out of 10, as told by 5,010 users, seems incredibly high. So I scrolled down to the trivia section and the second piece of trivia out of two said, I don't know, the first piece of trivia is this movie was popularized by YouTuber Ralph the Movie Maker and when he told his fans to rate this movie a 10 out of 10, it resulted in his account being banned.

So this guy must have had a pretty serious account i don't know which account it was but i so i when i was looking up trying to find how to watch this movie i saw like the first few minutes of that review and it's pretty bloody good and uh oh like i i just saw the first couple minutes and there was a comment up up the top that had 9.7 out of 10 on IMDB. We did it, guys. Some of the titles of the reviews that people have written are incredible. The Shape of Water We Deserved. Love on a Leash equals Citizen Kane for canines. The Shape of Water But but with a dog,

destined for glory. My name is Alvin Flang. It is, honestly, it's crazy. And it's also current. Like a lot of these reviews and references are coming out

are pretty recent. I love that. This film was directed by a woman named Fen Tian, but she also goes by the name Jennifer something as well. I saw it. Oh, Jennifer Tian. Jin Tian.

A Chinese director, screenwriter, and producer. She was born in 1939. Holy shit. In Shandong province. How old is this woman? 1939 would put her at about 80, I think. Okay, this is 20. Oh, man.

My math ain't too hot. Okay, well, 31 to get to the year 2000 is 61 years. So she was 71 when she directed this. Stupendous. In 1962, she graduated from the drama department of Lanzhou Institute of Arts. Fuck, that's good. It's impossible to say when she wrote the film,

but it's almost an evergreen in that the themes it's dealing with and sort of it's refreshingly not dated by the use of modern technology. It lives outside of the bounds of computers and phones, which is, I think, quite refreshing in this day and age. Here's a hot tip for filmmakers. Don't put any cell phones in your movies from here on in because what guy and i have learned is for your film to gain that evergreen status all you need to do is just leave out phones don't have them in there and also fashion uh so either

go completely nude or sort of timeless you know slacks put everyone in like mustard slacks and shirts and that way uh there'll be no confusing when it could be because it could be from any time quite a central part of the main character who's whose name i forgot oh lisa um lisa's a part of her core inner being is the fact that she loves the color green. Her apartment is green. Everything she wears is green. She drives a green VW Beetle and it is never explained why this is the case.

But the dog does take a couple shots at her. Think of the song Eiffel 65 and replace the titular character or the character in that song's life. Change blue to green and you have i think a vague idea of just how much uh this character identifies with the color green and you're right apropos of nothing apart from maybe to to service the dog putting in a few shots um the the main sort of motivating factor it would seem for her desire to have a romance the dog's motives are clear the

dog wants to become a man again and the only way to do that is to find true love and sorry we didn't get into this earlier but the reason he knows this is because a magical spirit that lives inside of the pool the lake at the park um talks to him periodically echo park in los angeles i think in silver lake it's echo park it's quite a famous park you and i actually once took a um a spin in there and that one of the paddle boats we uh is a very romantic afternoon we paid whatever the appropriate cost was we went out there we uh started playing music through our iphones or in your case androids, and we burned one down in the name of Jar. We sure did. It was a wonderful afternoon. We had a lovely panel.

It was so good, very relaxing. So it was nice to see a little touchstone in Tim and Guy's relationship on the silver screen. How much do you think this film cost to make? That's what I want to know. Sorry, I didn't interrupt you before, so you understand that's okay budget um i'd say you wonder don't you because on a lot of hands you say less than ten thousand dollars

but the performance that they get out of this dog this is like not an amateur movie making dog this feels like it's of quite a high pedigree like it's done commercials it's uh incredibly well healed so i would say they probably spent uh twenty thousand dollars maybe you were a bit off mate there is an estimate here let me just check i've got the right movie let me just check i've got the right movie oh this one says documentary documentary family romance oh oh no this is this is something else i've stumbled into damn it i was really hoping it was attached to this film because the particular short documentary that i'm saying had an estimated budget of three and a half million and i wanted that to be true for this movie jesus i wish i would love if that was the case to go back to the movie and try and

pick out where in christ's name they put that three and a half million dollars easily six figures though guy because you get treated to um some oh oh no they don't know either um in the in the after the credits bloopers you see not even funny moments, but just them making the movie. I don't know if you stuck around for that long, but there's obviously a lot of animal wranglers around, and, you know, they've got someone who's clicking that slate,

so that's going to cost you money. I... I reckon it was hundreds of thousands of dollars. I mean, I'm almost dumbfounded as to what to say about it. There are patches of really competent filmmaking buried amongst the mess as well, but it's almost like none of the performers or crew get to choose when they put together a string of competence. And so you get little flashes of decent acting or even efficient script writing that sort of services the plot, not just efficiently, but almost enjoyably. But they appear to crop up at random, which it's almost quite a jerky experience

where it's like you'll be watching and really invested for a while, then your mind will wander, and then they draw you back in. you watch this in two sittings which i think is probably the the perfect way to watch it this is a movie of the of the old school era this is a movie that demands an intermission time to maybe head out of the concession stand or the powder room uh refresh yourself discuss some key plot points amongst uh the the high-end uh bourgeoisie who i assume you're at the screening of the film with uh and really just unpack and enjoy the movie as it happens because even now and i've literally just watched it i can barely uh remember enough

of the stuffing they've put inside of this thing to to really uh get into it with you tim like while the dog is somewhat chauvinistic by turn uh it also the the movie like involves quite a lot of lecherous creepy dudes and sort of uh dispatches them in quite a quite a decent sort of way well i don't think uh you can be too sparing of the dog as well because when it's in human form it's kind of this almost fabio monosyllabic very stupid but good looking human and when it's in dog form it's just full sass for example she takes a big risk by bringing her lover the dog to her boss's sort of barbecue um lunch by the pool in an attempt for her to get a promotion at the job she's got at the clothing department store which is all going swimmingly and it's a bit risky because the rule is they've established

when the sun is shining he will turn back into a dog and that's why at night he is a man so they figure it's a cloudy day maybe we can give this one we can risk it a bit of a hoon so they give it a hoon and then lo and behold the clouds break halfway through the lunch and he turns into a dog like thinking you're not going to get sunburned if it's overcast. It doesn't matter what the clouds are doing. You've got to be safe out there. You've got to be safe out there. So he turns into a dog.

She, exasperated, jumps into the swimming pool, which is kind of an interesting way to react to everyone seeing your lover turn into a dog. And then the dog jumps in. Prince jumps in to save her because she can't swim. But he hates her he calls her a pizza faced cinder block as he's rescuing her i mean if if your boyfriend turns into a dog and this is the one secret you've been trying to save from everyone it does make some semblance of sense to if you know you can't swim to jump into the pool and you know create some sort of diversion so everyone's so distracted by this they're like oh could that was it just me or did just before lisa started

drowning did her boyfriend turn into a dog and the people who are on hand including her boss and his partner and the her their fucking lousy kids who would do well to be more like this man-dog hybrid uh just stand by and like watch not even concerned almost just like huh that's what drowning looks like they'd react to nothing they would be the worst people to be in a natural disaster they just observe from the sidelines and talk about how shitty it is that the kids didn't pick up the family business how he has to promote lisa to the management position hey can we talk about some of the other men these other weird men um so there's the guy who does so that's the guy who owns the store i think is who we're dealing with there but the guy that lisa reports to immediately who's like her manager is a creepy dude who

comes drunk to her apartment one night and tries to have sex with her he's a baddie forcibly saved by the dog yes the dog attacks him but then there's also someone who

he reports to the dog attacks him and scares him off. But then while, I'm calling her Lisa, I assume that's her name, I might be wrong, is dealing with the trauma of the experience, the dog, still in dog form, tries to make out with her. And it's like, yeah, now it's my time.

And also, her trauma is not even in response to the experience she's just had with this guy her creepy boss who's come around and drunkenly sort of thrust himself upon her it's to the fact that the guy who you were just about to talk about as she's been on a few dates with is gay yeah because she's she's like cradling herself in a fetal position going, Ken is gay, gay, why, why? There's another guy who she reports, they both report to at the store, it's like the store manager. Is his name Ken?

I'm making up pretty much all the names I use. The dog's Prince, she's lisa we're going to call the store manager ken they go on a few dates he's quite a sweet guy i quite liked ken he's sort of the best character in the whole film but it gets revealed on about the third date that actually he's gay and his family aren't okay with that and he wants to have a family with lisa and sort of a sham marriage and give her a kid that they can raise together just to get everyone off his back a little bit and i i tell you what that combined with the um sort of borderline sexual assault scene there's some heavy themes

that get thrown into this fantasy rom-com about a a dog trying to find love and i didn't hate it i was like you know why not let's this is kind of what i mean where it's like often when something's so patchy or like the tone is so all over the map you become like frustrated with the move and you like know your limitations or know what you're trying to make but in this instance it's just like it's all so cobbled together and ramshackle you're almost like yeah put it in like i would honestly encourage anyone to watch this movie um i did it in stone cold sobriety if you want to uh smoke some weed before or during i mean i can't imagine that hurting the experience whatsoever this would be a wonderful film to watch over a few vinos i think if you got a nice pinot gris if you're a fan of the whites or perhaps a rosé if you're in the middle or maybe a robust merlot if you're a fan

of the red like i am and just plop down in your couch chuck chuck this on, and witness magic. Because it truly is a magical film. The person I liked least was Prince in human form, for he was exceptionally boring. I also think they changed his voice. It's like they cast Prince, whoever acted as Prince, and did all those scenes, and then they were also shooting with the dog. And then when it came to doing the ADR where they'd voice over the dog,

they found some sort of comic and were like, can you do it? That was definitely a different person. A marked change in voice. And I was genuinely really looking forward to seeing the the man behind the voice uh and was pretty upset are we sure that prince wasn't played by a young dave franco uh nothing's off the table but i feel like that would probably be in the credits i was looking were you looking as well for prince's dog voice person? Because it was completely different. It was like when Prince is in human form,

he had to stick to the script, and he got given not a lot to work with, but the guy was very boring who was portraying Prince. He's just a handsome man. Pretty hot guy. I'll give him that. But the voice, I think they got given maybe script notes or script guidance and then they could just do whatever they want with it and it made for quite a fun

experience going back and forth but their personalities were so disparate that it was quite hard to marry those two components into one character um we've also got paula she's she's a character in this film she She's Lisa's friend. We're introduced to her while they're hanging out kind of in bikinis on a park. And she's trying to pick up some dudes. She loves the men. Yeah, and she's not afraid to talk about it, which I love.

Their friendship runs a little hot and cold for believability. I guess, I mean, runs a little hot and cold for believability uh i guess i mean if you wind up falling in love with a a person dog hybrid yeah you are probably reluctant to share it immediately just because of the optics uh but you imagine referring to is they have a massive falling out paula paula comes around because her car's broken down which necessitates her staying at lisa's house out of the blue without any warning and prince is in human form at that moment in time so he has to hide behind a curtain and uh long story short paula finds him and then is deeply upset at lisa for not sharing the news that she's finally found a man because paula's tried to shunt this virgin um you know she's

tried to sling some dick her way for quite a while to no success and she they have a huge huge emotional moment about it which really i felt very annoyed by that moment because i was like this is this isn't warrant everyone starts crying i was like oh come on guys sort it out and it will like needed even then in terms of knowing how close they are towards the end of the movie prince um i will put a spoiler warning on this for no real reason, but Prince as a dog, because there's a lot of pressure also on Lisa from her mother and her mother's eccentric friend from a made-up place, presumably called Moldavia.

Rita. She's Eastern European, we think. She's this big sort of character who keeps trying to push men upon lisa and um you know uh they eventually discover prince as a man and then discover that prince is both man and dog and uh prince like becomes ashamed of himself for who he is and like runs away writing a note being like you deserve a a man who can give you children and uh they're both sort of cast adrift they're both somewhat uh heartbroken wandering around los angeles before prince realizes he's sort of what am i doing i'm crazy i love this woman so he runs back uh to see her

and she spots him and they're running and running and running and they shoot like for just long enough that you're like this fucking dog's gonna get hit by a car and sure enough the dog gets hit by a car and we had to believe that prince dies because of this car accident and so it's quite upsetting because um you know you were rooting for these two to wind up together uh and during that time you'd think this more than ever would be a time to turn to your closest friends uh so that they can you know you can uh they can help you through the hard times, they can keep you company when you're feeling particularly low. But multiple years later, like over four children later, Lisa and her friend are reunited, and the topic of conversation,

the way that they greet each other would suggest they haven't been in touch at all in the intervening years. Long enough for four children of varying ages, maybe one pair of twins, but at least three different ages amongst them. But Lisa doesn't have any kids, I stress. This is all Paula's kids. Yeah, but do you not think that,

I mean, the first thing I'd do if I lost the love of my life. Hold on, Guy. This movie about a man-dog hybrid, and this is the bit of the story that you're like, lack of believability. I don't quite understand their friendship. Yeah, it's a complex one, that's for sure. Because I think she does refer to her, Lisa does refer to Paula as her best friend

at some point during the film, but there's scant little evidence to provide for that. Look, it's not for us to judge relationships of other people from the outside. Even if you are a movie-going audience and this is in the film and you're supposed to buy into it, there's not time to delve into all of this because we've got to cover so much ground inside of 90 minutes there's

a lot of story to tell we've got a um sort of a hopeless romantic who turns out to be gay who just wants to shield his private life with from his family we've got a bit of fun and games where prince discovers that uh he needs to as a husband for Lisa, provide for his family and pursues a career in acting and winds up on a television commercial fighting ninjas. Yeah, it's all in there. That's what I was going to say. It's Six Hacks is the only bit of music in the movie. But when he's fighting ninjas, it is set to China Girl by David Bowie,

which might be a coincidence, but it feels like quite an ignorant and pointed song choice from the movie makers. Oh, you mean for ninjas? Yeah, yeah. And knowing that the screenwriter and director is from mainland China herself, maybe it's just sort of a an ironic wink uh towards western ignorance of eastern culture either way what i love about it is it's a flagrant

disregard for copyright because there is no way in hell they would have cleared a david bowie song for this film which contains no other scoring or music whatsoever that's brash and bold and confident and i love it this is a confident film hey you could say a lot of bad things about it but it is confident filmmaking i think there's a lot of swinging cameras there's a lot of crazy lines there's a lot of characters weaving in and out we've got a scene where lisa gets uh well borderline kidnapped by rita stuffed into a car under false pretenses and brought to a um sort of a dinner dance hall where her mother's waiting seems like a nice little surprise dinner whereupon she's um sort of clawed over by three or four men who rita and her mother have paid to try and dance with

lisa because they're afraid she's going to wind up old and alone um it's a bit of a nightmare scene to be honest just because it's i mean she really is treated like a piece of meat being thrown around by these dudes and i i guess it's to show what a nice lady her mum is, that she cares about Lisa. But, you know, it comes off a little bit differently for mine. Oh, absolutely. That being said, this film was made seven years ago. What a different world. Yeah, the world turns pretty quickly nowadays, doesn't it, Tim?

It's just good, dumb fun. And it's there for free on youtube don't even watch the whole thing just watch the trailer uh or or click on watch how much you feel like break it off into digestible segments but watching the movie will do a better job of representing just how unique this cinema going experience is than tim and i could ever hope to uh can i can i just tell you about where my mind went during the ending because so paula comes back into the film right at the end and uh her and lisa are sort of you know catching up as it were the kids are there and she's saying like because prince was reborn as this hybrid thing as punishment from his previous life

and they're talking about she said the line's really weird she's like you know if he was alive right now he'd be our age and i'm like yeah that's how fucking time works it's like if guy died three years ago and then i said that now it's like yeah time just time marches on i don't get it but then her friend corrects her and paula says no no he no sweetie if he was like born again now it would reset or something right am i remembering i was making a coffee at this point so i sort of slightly diverted attention no i i couldn't quite figure that out either it's sort of genuinely shades of a conversation i overheard yesterday between two people uh yeah right where they were talking about dogs and one of them was like um well you know like when you leave the house the reason that the dogs miss you so much is for you it's like it's just a regular work day but for a dog it's seven times as long because one human year is seven dog years.

And so the whole time they're like, oh, my God. So you've been gone for a week. Yeah, I could follow that logic. And so as soon as I heard the people in the movie talking about it, this was an improvised conversation between a waiter and a customer by the way that had a much sort of tighter world of uh sensibility to it than the like common culminative scene from this feature film um where my brain went during that conversation between lisa and paula is when paula started going no sweetie like he'd be reset so he would he would have to start again if he's reborn now i went huh is she gonna fuck a

baby so is that where this movie is going yeah or or if he gets reborn as the same hybrid creature um because his karma has come out completely neutral so he just resets the reborn as the same hybrid creature um because his karma has come out completely neutral so he just resets the clock as the same critter that he was before she gonna fuck that pup is that what the sequel is are we being treated to love on a leash numero two fuck that pup also can i say for a movie that is called love on a Leash, do we see love in the movie? You betcha. The feature of a leash? Not once.

How dare you? Have you forgotten the scene where she puts a leash on him and they have the start of quite raunchy sex? Oh, I have, obviously. That's awesome. Mate, she gets a green leash, of course, and puts it on his neck while he's in human form.

And, I mean, it's an attempt at chemistry. I'll give him that. Didn't quite work for me, but I'm like, yeah, I see what you're getting at here.

That's cool. Why does she love green so much? I don't know, but they really needed to put something in about, even a start of an explanation for it.

There's really nothing. It's just there everywhere. And even the dog references it. I love how sassy this fucking dog is. The dog takes shots at the movie in his narration of the film. It's so good. It's highly meta. Anyway, in closing, this is the perfect film and everyone should see it

and not only that but i'd like to double down on uh what was that guy on youtube that real huge dude who ralph got his account banned i want to double down on ralph's instructions you need to give us the movie maker yeah absolutely get on imdb it's it's the perfect film um it would get 11 out of 10 for me if they had managed to put music in and as ralph pointed out in the opening couple of minutes of his review it is confusing that there's a composer credit considering there is not an iota of soundtrack to this thing uh just quickly before we go so i just was on the imdb page to figure out um uh to figure out uh what that youtube account was called the storyline so i read the the synopsis at the top of the imdb page when i was um at the start of the podcast. The storyline just beneath it, underneath the featured cast,

reads as such. Alien meets Transformers in this action-packed blockbuster by your boy M. Night Shyamalan when an alien starship threatens to destroy Earth. A team of misfit generic ordinary people is the only ones who can stop the invasion. Taglines,

love at first bark. ones who can stop the invasion taglines love at first bark god bless the internet you people are fantastic i was gonna say animals but it felt a bit on the nose how do you get this movie legally that's what i'd like to know because i want to i want to it's on amazon it's on Amazon Prime. Oh, good shit. What a good acquisition. Nice one. It's huge. Well, thank you so much, everybody.

Be sure to tell us what to watch next time. Hopefully, you'll be as generous. I don't know where someone dredged this up from, but my God, you are dwelling in some pretty fucking cool corners of the internet. So whoever you are uh please keep it up the beauty of the deciders club as well is not only did someone fish this option out but out of about seven or eight film choices everyone rallied around this one is the top pick which is why we've selected it democratically for our viewing so that's how it works um everyone on the patreon

who gives over five bucks gets these episodes immediately as soon as they come out we put them uh quite a bit later on the free stream and if you give 10 bucks or more you're part of the deciders club and we do so appreciate all the supporters because it helps us continue to do this very important work uh guy it's always a pleasure. Likewise, Tim. I wish you only the best. Love on a leash. You want dog food. Yeah, I'm a dog genius.
