This week on the program, there's only one thing missing to make this full-on pornography.
It's Cruel Intentions. I'm Andrew Jupin.
Stephen Siddak. Chris Cavan. Eric Cisca.
Angelica J. Bastian.
And we hate movies.
Hello everyone. Welcome to the program. Thank you for tuning in, as always. It's a very special episode. We are coming to you from the brand new, beautiful and still newly smelling headgum studios in Brooklyn, New York. And we are happy to welcome back our friend of the show.
Vulture writer, Angelica Jade Bastion.
Hello, thank you for coming back.
Thank you for having me.
I feel pretty fucking honored.
Like, I'm in such a good mood and so full of myself right now.
I've been on We Hate Fucking Movies Two Times, Bitch, with some 90s movies.
Hell yeah.
Absolutely.
Those are the prime slots.
The 90s ones are really like.
Yeah, that's the magic style.
Sean needed to have She's All That, and we obliged him.
Right.
And you've been on Species before.
this is one that we've been circling like sharks for a little while so I'm glad we got to it because it's just that movie I've seen this movie or a part of this movie quite a few times you break a VHS tape with the rewinding possibly snapped it I'm the right age for that I'm sorry no that that scene was on repeat although I will say rewatching this movie I probably hadn't seen it since like the early aughts but watching it I realized I've seen this movie a lot of times not just
just the, you know, girl-on-girl kissing.
But it was a cable movie.
A lot of very on cable. And this movie was
kind of a phenomenon. Like, everybody was talking
about it for a little bit. Oh, yeah. I remember.
I remember seeing it for the first
time that kiss.
In 99, it was like
this, the Matrix, Star Wars,
Episode 1, and that's it. That's all
you need it. I mean, that's
crazy. To get you through.
Anybody see this in theater? By any chance?
No. No, it was a straight-up rental.
Yeah, same.
Maybe, maybe not.
I don't know.
I went to a lot of movies in 99.
Oh, congratulations.
Thank you.
We should say this is directed by Roger Cumble.
Great name.
Is that a real person?
I don't know.
I'd be using a fucking alias if I made the movies this dude's made.
Because he directed this.
He directed the sequel to this.
What were we just talking about outside?
The other movie he did?
Just Friends.
Oh, Just Friends.
Yeah.
Ryan Reynolds is fat.
That's the joke.
he also did furry vengeance
which is that
it's about a convention
that went wrong
I wish
I fucking wish
dude a revenge film
set inside the world
of a furry convention
I'd watch it
I would so watch that movie
like radio land murders
and they're just killing them off
all the people
who are putting the thing together
that makes perfect sense
everyone's got a mask
you don't know who to trust
those are big bulbous costumes
you see one of those guys in the corner
it could be empty
he could be dead in it
and it's standing up
you don't know
he might just be taking arrest
too. Like, oh my God, that purple horse
has been stabbed in them.
Ferry Vengeance is Brendan Fraser
as a land developer
and sentient, like,
talking animals come after him and I watched
it when I had salmonella poisoning.
And I will never forget it.
Yikes, that is a double bill
to never forget. I just remember
being like at debt store being like,
this is terrible.
Dude, what if it was the last movie you watch?
Yeah, that was a gamble.
Did you just watch that? Did you watch anything
else or just that?
Unrepeat.
I know it was that and then other stuff
but that's the one that burned into my
my brain. Gotcha. But like how embarrassing is that
Steve? Like you are straight
on your way to hell having
died from salmonella poisoning
and the devil's like, Stephen, what was the
last movie you watched? And you were like
very vengeance, sir.
I mean that would be the thing. It would just keep going.
The devil just pulls everyone who comes in.
Oh, totally. Big Sinophile.
The devil loves movies.
Absolutely.
Come in and shit out.
So, so, what do you
watch it these days? Most people
just say Woody Allen movies, but
okay, furry vengeance.
Wait, so the animals are also talking
in that movie? As I remember it.
Or were you just really
fucked up? No, no, they're talking.
They're talking, happen in animals.
So, Steve, just because I've known you for
the better part of 20 years,
I know that you've probably seen this movie
the most.
You are the resident pervert.
That's not fair. Hey, YouTube
didn't work back then exactly all this to just say if you had to quickly condense this movie
for the folks at home who may not have seen it been around in 99 what is this movie uh it's
tiny tunes dangerous liaison yes yes yes or it could have been produced on the wb like as a like
tv movie movie like honestly because it has some w b folks which is why i was upset it's the w bness
but then it's like it was for folk who were watching those w b
shows with those actors, but then it's like
there's also thrusting in this
movie, like, get on it, these
scenes, these scenes. It could
have used the WB. Frog
Yeah. Oh, sure.
To get involved. What was his name?
Michigan J. Frog.
Kind of incest on the W.B.
Tonight. Does he name that
because he was conceived in Michigan?
I guess. I don't understand why
that the frog is named the fraud name.
Okay. But it's, yeah,
prep school kids
are playing dangerous liaison.
and getting into all sorts of sexual misadventures.
My thing that I realized watching this movie,
why, if the whole thing is like,
oh, it's a dangerous liaison,
Senator Prep School,
but we're never at the prep school.
Never at the school.
It's so fascinating when shows or movies do this
where it's like high school kids
and they're not doing a lick of homework.
They're never sending foot on the school
except for, I guess, the very end.
Yeah.
Well, this is, it's summer break.
Yeah.
Which is so dumb.
Like, why involve the prep school
this much in the story.
Now that country manner they go to
towards, I guess is that towards the end?
Is that the school?
Is that what we're led to do?
No, no, that's the head.
The aunt's house, right?
Yeah, that's the one
Nurse Ratchet lives.
You mean, no, when the funeral stuff is happening
at the very end?
No, before that, when they go,
when they're like riding horses and shit?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, that's at the aunt's house.
Oh, my Lord.
There's only like five settings in this
entire movie, honestly.
It's an aunt's house,
the New York apartment.
And the New York apartment is so ornate,
so wealthy.
Every single scene of this movie, I feel like Napoleon Bonabar could walk into it and you'd be like, it doesn't change.
It looks like it looks like it fits.
Yes, no, totally.
And I mean, like, it's one of those things where a lot of the stuff that they tried.
And I'm not a dangerous liaison to expert.
Now, what is that?
Is that like a board game?
Yeah, yes.
Based on the hit board game, dangerous liaison.
It's sorry trouble and dangerous liaison.
I thought this was based on hungry, hungry hippos or thirsty, thirsty hippos.
You might as well, it's suggested by hungry, hungry, hippos.
I hate that credit.
The suggested instead of
based on is like
it's so fucking loose
we can't say based on
so it's suggested.
But it's European smut.
Have you read the book or no?
Yeah, I love how you guys look at me
like I'm cultured. I don't, I don't, what do I do
most days? Like smoke weed and watch Bob's
burgers. I'm not smart. If you
guys think I'm smart out there in the world
like I'm a dumbass.
I just hide it very well.
I didn't need to look at these guys.
I know we're O for four.
So I was going to the new element.
Producer Mike, have you read Dangerous Liaisons?
That's a no.
All right.
That's six around over six.
What I know about it is the Stephen Fier's movie with Malcovich and Glenn Close.
And Michelle Pfeiffer.
Right.
Is this not Cicill, she's the Annette.
In that story, Chris Cabin, are they like, is it the same?
Like sex games, kind of like if you get her in bed, then I'll have sex with you, stepbrother.
It's woo, that's the thing.
It's all sex games, except for they add the step sibling element in this movie.
This is the ground zero of today's modern pornography.
The er text, I would call it.
Just like the stepsister phenomenon that is gripped the country.
It is gross and it doesn't make any sense.
It just makes it gross for no reason.
there's so much gross about this movie
like as now an adult
like watching a movie that they're supposed to be
teenagers and they're all like sweaty
and like grinding on each other
or losing their virginity or giving their stepbrother
a hand job while teasing him
because that's just a thing you do
you know in between getting your manicure
and pedicure I guess I don't know
talk about filling time I mean that's how they do it
yeah that's how I feel time too I just give out handjob
I couldn't even say it with a straight food
But, like, you were watching this movie, and, like, my wife and I last night were, like, total tops.
They're 18.
Yes.
Total tops.
And, like, Selma Blair's character, which is hilarious because she was the, like, oldest actress playing the youngest character.
And she's sort of playing her, like...
A child?
Yeah, like, infantiles.
I was curious about that, too.
It's really weird.
Like, she's wearing that koala shirt, and I'm like, what game are we playing here?
There's, that ticks somebody's box because it's very strange because she's, like, you know, supposed to be a teenager.
but she acts like a really young child
and she'll sometimes do these weird things
like she'll blink really hard
and she'll just smile randomly
and you're just like, is she okay?
It's like living is hard.
Like every moment is awkward.
It's so weird.
The red sweatshirt is like really big for her
and I thought like that was another little thing.
It's a game.
But the weird thing is like,
so then if that's the case
and we're not going to high school ever,
why not just set them as a bunch of sexy 20 year old
kids that are getting into no good
because for Roger Cumble
gotcha that's not as hot
a CEO
in the 80s porno
Roger Cumble
yes
Cumble soup dude
that's what I meant though about
there's only one thing missing from this movie to make a
pornography and that is like actual penetration
scene in genitalia because like
the music like the score to this movie
is 100% porno music
you get some butt you do get by butt
philippe stunt double butt do
Oh, really?
Don't even try to tell me that that's Ryan Philippi's ass.
Don't break my...
You don't see his face.
Did you research this?
Are you just like doing a truther thing right now?
No, it's neither.
I will say, I just...
It's a crisis actor's ass.
No, because like when she looks like Sarah Michelle
looks across the room, it cuts to this dude.
His back is fucking jacked.
And his shoulders are so wide.
He looks like...
The dude does look like the Wolverine from the back.
I do agree with that.
That's the thing.
And when you see Ryan Philippe in this movie, he's like,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
You realize how tiny of a person he is?
Well, it was the 90s.
We had to be tiny, tiny.
If that's true.
If that's true, they also gave him the stupid Justin Timberlake Ryan Felipe haircut.
Oh, sure.
Whoever this guy is.
Oh, his hair is so jelled.
It's so ugly.
It's really offended me.
I was like, y'all are supposed to be rich, and I'm not rich, and I look good.
And his name is Sebastian Valmont.
Yes.
Vampire-ass name.
That is a total vampire name.
I can go get the garlic.
get this guy. Later on when he's trying
to like, you know, he's like trying to
break up with Reese Witherspoon to like
get her away from him because he's such a bad
guy. He's like, you were nothing but a
conquest. And I wrote down in my notes, is
he a vampire? Vampires
use the word conquest. Quite a lot. Sure.
Well, part of that I think is also what they're doing
in this movie in the way it's written.
They are
they're like in, they're pushing
30. Everyone in this movie is pushing 30
playing teenagers
who act like they're all.
60 years old. And speak
like they're 60 years old. And it
makes no fucking sense and just makes
it way more confusing to listen to what they're
saying in this movie. It makes less sense because it's so
isolated. There's not like
sense of a world around them
really at all. Where are the parents?
They're in Bali.
Oh, I miss that detail. They call
at one point and we get the classic line. Oh,
the parental unit's called.
Oh, parental unit alert.
That was an expression in the
90s. Absolutely. I hated
units
not into it
but the only like parental figures
you have in this movie is
Christine Baransky
who is
a racist she's a total racist
Selma Blair's mother
yeah completely shitty to the dude from
Save the Last Dance
Sean Patrick Thomas
that poor bastard in this movie
you will always whenever you say his name
it's like being on a weird bike
because I'm like Sean Patrick Flannery
or Shaw Patrick Thomas
Sean Patrick Flannery or Shaw
and the handlebar goes nuts.
I wish people could see the handlebar acting out right now.
It's important to do that.
It's proof that Steve never learned to ride a bike.
I'm riding a bike.
Oh, and Nurse Ratchet is the aunt of Reese Witherspoon's character.
Yeah, she also played Kai Winn on Deep Space Nine.
Yes.
Got to give you some Deep Space Nine deeps, y'all.
You know how I do.
Philippe.
She's, uh, Philippe's aunt.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then is, uh, Reese Withersman's character is like just there for the summer for some reason.
Rich people, I guess, know each other.
Yeah.
And they're like, my daughter is like, going to be around other rich people.
So let's hit them up.
I don't know.
I don't know what they do.
It's kind of, it's that plus like it's very clear like an old French thing that never got excised from the novel.
Like, it's like, oh, mama will, we'll put you up for the summer over there while it takes me an, a year and a half.
have to traverse the globe.
It doesn't make sense in modern times.
Put this girl in a fucking hotel.
I think the other thing though is because they just have these
sprawling estates, which I
could never figure out, is it Westchester or is it
Long Island? Question mark. I believe,
I think I saw one of the locations they filmed that was Long Island.
Okay. Because when she's driving out of
the city at the end of the movie, she's like
driving north to Westchester. But I think
at the beginning of the movie, when we see
Ryan Phillip by driving into the city,
he's supposed to be coming from Long Island.
Not that they ever specify.
They don't mention any real locations.
Also, don't set most of your movie on the Upper East Side.
It's the dullest fucking place in Manhattan to set anything.
So can just anybody write an article about not getting laid and get like taken to one of these castles?
Wait, what?
Are you trying to hatch a scheme?
Yeah, I actually, as a young girl, wrote an article for 17 magazine about how I would never have sex before marriage, which.
Oh, no.
Take that 17 magazine.
You got scammed.
Also, the threat of it is like 17 is going to take that away at some point.
Like, if she ever has sex.
It's a crown?
Exactly.
It's just a yearly thing?
Yeah, it's like there's a lot about reputations in this movie, which is I get it on
some level because they're like rich white kids and their reputations are very important.
But on another level, it does seem like it's cut from a completely different society.
Yeah, exactly.
And you need to see that.
cachet being spent with other people
like not just these four characters
you don't get the circle of their
there's no like ball scene
that they could go to or something
like the summer the summer ball
gala Eric yeah it's a gala thank you
or some end of summer party
something totally it's weirdly
claustrophobic it is
for a movie that's set in all of these big
like Yorkville mansions and shit
up town like a masquerade ball would have
been really sexy right well this was
99 wasn't that also the year of eyes
wide shot yeah wow this is like eyes wide shut junior fidelio cindy pollock plays like the gym
teacher lil fidelio tiny tunes version of eyes wide shot that's true tiny tunes by the way
another instance where you can't really tell if they're in high school or college yeah except for
the fact that they go to a lunaversity so you're supposed to i guess clean college but they're like
little kids because they also have a really cool spring break so i
feel like that's more of a college thing.
Killer spring break that those cartoons had.
So we start with
Philippi and Swozy Kurtz
is his therapist and we get like
really bad 90s therapy
gags. You know what I mean? I'm billing
you by the hour. Blah blah blah. I'm kind of
surprised there was no like Valium jokes.
Yeah. We loved antidepressant
jokes in the 90s also. Instead
they do the what about Bob book
joke. Yes. Which is
bullshit. The great
She has written a
Ha ha she has written a book that's great parenting
And she books him for the book
After being like this will help you do everything
Although it's not like he's becoming a parent
No I guess she just wrote the book
And he's trying to unload it and is just going to bill him for it
Yeah
That's one way to sell copies of your book
Yeah
And pretty unethical as a therapist
Yeah that's like a really bad therapist
Yeah
Does Swozy Kurtz play a similar character
In Dangerous Liaison's with John Malkovich?
Because she's also in that movie.
No, she plays Salma Blair's stand-in.
Oh, the other way around.
Oh, is that right?
Yeah.
That's not Michelle Pfeiffer?
No, Michelle Pfeiffer.
Is Reese Spoon?
Yeah.
Oh.
I love that this is a proud tradition and heritage.
Like, she continues to play roles in.
Yeah.
Leasons.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sure they went to John Malkovich numerous times that he said absolutely.
Maybe that's why there's no, like, you know, like school headmaster or something,
because that's the Malkovich role.
Get any of his ass with that movie?
I don't believe so.
I wish.
Back of the man, I wish.
I think you finally get some in being John Malkovich, I think.
Oh, really?
I got to rewatch that.
There is some fail on that.
Me too.
Totally overdue for a rewatch.
Yeah, so what is the deal, though?
So he screws over Swozy Kurtz because he posts pictures of her daughter online, nude photos.
Let's talk about this for one motherfucking moment.
I wrote down in my notes, Sebastian is a sexual terrorist.
This is revenge porn.
Yes, it's one of the earliest incidents I think of revenge porn in movies.
It's insane and they're playing it for laughs,
but it's like he took pictures of her and put them up online to ruin her reputation
and also ruin her mother's reputation.
Right, like it's more vengeance against the mother, but like this daughter's the victim.
And it's like, the movie's like, ha ha, isn't this great?
look at this cool dude and this duster
that just fuck this lady over
he built a real deal
like kind of fancy for 1999
website around these pictures
there's animations you went to an animation
studio this guy is like
the Osama bin Laden of revenge porn
and we the audience are
Al-Qaeda because we're supposed to
enjoy it
fair enough
Al audience but no yeah he does so many
things in this movie that are not okay
and to the point of like
really reprehensible and like he changes but not really
when he dies I'm kind of clapping it's great oh I was
tackling we will get to that being hit by car
ragdoll flying that that was beautiful it's not quite on par with
meet Joe Black and Brad Pitt oh yeah you know I think that still
has the trophy yeah totally but yeah it's it is weird
the nudie thing and you're supposed to be like got her
You know what I mean?
Like, you as the audience, like, got that bitch.
Yeah, I love seeing a girl cry to her mother.
Yeah, what a cool dude.
This guy's the hero of the film.
Yeah, they do position him like that because then the mother is like banging on glass.
Like, you're going to be like screwed over you little shit.
And then he's like looking up and then a girl comes up to him and she's like, hi, I'm like Clarissa.
and he's like oh really yeah let's like do stuff that's pretty much the extent of it
like she's got like googly eyes for this dude from the jump they immediately start holding hands
oh do they i miss that way they have their hands hold swave as far it was 1999 he was five
foot seven and 91 pounds you had to be like holy shit i want to fuck that dude yeah look at that
duster again i say the duster in this movie it's summertime it's summer in new york city you
wearing a huge fucking duster dude what are you doing and he's wearing this mustard or not even mustard
it's like shit brown like shirt and tie combo because they have to be the same shimmery kind of color
yeah the whole and like the suit jackets are also kind of like fucking uncle fester or something
and he's the most popular guy in school like the guy that wore a suit all the time was a weirdo in
your school. Am I wrong? He's a weirdo.
He is a weirdo. I feel like
people would actually think he's kind of skeezy
considering his reputation is that
he like tends to screw
not just screw women but screw them over
in the process. Right.
So I don't understand his popularity.
Catherine's popularity played by
the great, the amazing,
the beautiful, the 5-3
there Michelle Geller. Oh yeah.
I can see how she could be popular.
Right.
because she's fine
and I would like totally be
trailing around her
but she's also like two-faced
like purposely like right
but he's just like I'm an asshole
deal with it
and it's like okay
how cutting
ooh you're really aggressive
I like that
so he leaves this therapy session
and this is we are introduced to
Sarah Michelle
and Christine
Baranski is using her
as like a
introduce my daughter
Selma Blair
into the school's, you know, social pool kind of a thing.
And again, that's something that makes sense
in fucking 19th century France.
If you're like, this is my daughter.
Show her so that she, where the nearest taverns are
as opposed to like, my fucking daughter's going to school
and I need to like prepare her the summer before.
Well, I guess it's, I guess, you know,
for like 1999 New York City Times,
it's like, well, she's the senior
and Selma Blair's going to be a freshman,
like take her under your wing kind of a thing
in the big city.
this kind of thing, I feel like.
Sure, yeah.
You know their parents.
You just like, hey, talk to them for that.
Exactly. Would you help me out?
You attended her coming out ball, you know, prepare her for the next level of social
sophistication or whatever.
Your virginity masquerade went to hell.
And this is, I mean, this is, she is just playing a little child.
She's wearing the koala t-shirt and said that like her and her father went on a vacation
down under and he's like, oh, how are things down under?
Blossoming, I hope.
He looks up her skirt in front of.
Also, Christine
Burinsky, she drops a line about like,
oh, and at that time that Sebastian
traumatized the school nurse, I didn't think he'd be going
back after that.
What happened there?
What was that?
What the fuck was that?
I think it's the same thing that Hannibal Lecter did
to the nurse that bent over him.
Oh, he bit her face off.
But he's rich, so it's fine.
Exactly, he just got a little slap on the wrist.
He got sent home early from school that day.
But that's something, too, that Angelica's point that I'm going to bring up again is that he's not, it's not like he's just a ladies man.
He, like, destroys people and gets off on that more than even the sex.
Yeah.
And that seems like a difficult thing, again, for the hero of the movie.
But that says kink, Stephen, you have to support it.
It's a James Bond thing.
Like, this is the greatest spy.
He fucks everybody, tells everybody his name, shoots all the time.
and yeah and nobody knows who he is
he's a mystery man
but I don't think like it's a mystery as to
what Sebastian's getting up to
but they all act like that they all act like
because that's dude that is the rich
strata it's just like turn a blind
eye to everything money will fix it all
kind of a situation
you know I guess so the
the thrust of this movie
pun intended is they come up
Sarah Michelle and Ryan
Philippi's characters who are stepbrother
and sister come up with this
this sexual bet
that I kind of
am still trying to figure out the stakes
and if you think about it too much
your head starts to hurt
like we had to consult Wikipedia
to figure out all the angles of this movie
I mean it doesn't really
make sense for the basis of a movie
because it's not high enough states
oh god that sounded terrible
but you know what I mean
it's just like he he shows her
the article in 17 magazine
of Reese Witherspoon's character
and he's like now that's a conquest
because she wants to ruin Selma Blair's character
because her ex, oh my God, this is confusing.
Wait a minute, you're totally right.
Her ex, the lesser O'Connell.
Oh, right.
Has anyone checked in on that dude lately?
Is he a lot?
He is.
He looks like he's been in a house fire.
Really?
Charlie O'Connell?
Not like he was.
So he could play Freddy Krueger?
He just aged poorly.
And Jerry O'Connell is still, you know, a handsome young man.
Young?
Yeah.
in his 50s.
I just hope he hasn't gone
like full Aaron Carter
at this point.
I really don't want that.
What happened to that young guy?
He's just gone crazy.
It seems really unfortunate.
He just went like Amanda Bynes or whatever.
Similar,
but like he's also blaming
his backstreet boy's brother over things.
Yeah,
there was a whole thing where he was like,
I caught off contact with my whole fucking family
including that back street boy.
I don't really know.
I just know that Chris was very distressed
because he's a huge Aaron Carter fan.
Love that.
that music. Well, what are these boys doing
on the back street anyway? I would cut them
out of my life, too.
You're right, Eric. You're right.
You know? I don't know. So Ryan
Philiby, the stakes are, and I guess the timeline is
he has until the end of summer.
Sure. He has to sleep with Reese Witherspoon.
If he does not, he has to give Sarah Michelle his
awesome car. If he does, Sarah Michelle will have sex with him.
And he can put it anywhere.
Yep. Thanks a lot. 18 year old girls.
saying this in this movie what are we fucking doing i mean i was such a stupid i was like what you're
like your hand what when you were watching this last night no no like the first time i saw it
you know the question i didn't think you meant my ear what do you do is flopping against the
ear it's his kinkman you have to support it i didn't take this to heart yeah he makes this
he makes his face they're like oh yeah yeah that's the one that cinches it he's not gonna do it
And then she's like, put it anywhere.
And he's like, yep, yes, sir.
He goes in the bathroom and fucks her lufa.
And he's like, that's it, I did it.
You said I could.
But then also there's the detour of like he finds out that Christine
Baranski was talking shit about him to somebody.
And then he's like, I'm also going to fuck Selma Blair and ruin her life.
The Selma Blair-Beransky thing has nothing to do with the bet.
It doesn't.
And that's what's confusing about the movie is you're like,
Why is he spending so much time on this other thing?
So then I was trying to figure out what stake Selma Blair was in the bet.
And then eventually Chelsea was like, no, there's nothing.
It's just a side.
There was Sir Michelle Geller just wants to get back at her quote-unquote Nazi ex-boyfriend,
which is Charlie O'Connell or whatever.
And I think there's like one shot of him in the movie, right?
He's just like laying on a bed and that's like it.
She heard that he liked Selma Blair.
Yeah.
So this gets added into the.
Oh, dude, totally missed that.
To break that up, even though that's not even what we're focusing on.
And they make sex, again, like vampirism.
She's like, I'm going to make her into the premier slut of the school by having sex with one guy.
And I'm like, you know what I mean?
Like, is it going to lead to more sex, I assume?
It doesn't really make sense.
No.
You highlighted the language there, Steve.
The thing that I, that it was like a mystery to me for about five minutes.
During the, I'm sorry to bring us back to it, but the,
the web page he makes
about Tara Reid
sure it highlights
the word slut
and it's like
saying it at first
just saying that
and then it cuts
it comes back
all the sun
it's saying
you are a slut
you are a slut
by my book
I'm like
you've done enough
I see the freaking word
that's right
I go to a website
that calls me a slut
that's the internet
that's all it is
1999 internet
that's a big thing
meanwhile
this guy
this website, which in 99
wasn't as easy as today. You didn't have
these services. And he's
saying, only people
who use email are geeks and pedophiles.
Classic line of dialogue.
So they only communicate with written
letters like we're in France
in the 1800s. So fucking
dumb. Or a 1940s movie.
Like, it is so, I was like, is this a letter
to three wives?
Like, everybody is writing
like these long letters
and it's really funny to watch.
because I'm like this movie would be so different if it was made today like yeah with
the same angle of we're doing it for teens because I'm like there's no phones and it's just
really weird with the letters and I'm like yeah I think a letter from Iwo Jima was in there
yeah why was like that's in the mail you know what you know what it is is that the
original book is an epistolary uh novel so it's in letters yeah yeah damn you learn something
every day. Wait, so Chris Cabin,
are you trying to say that cruel intentions
has something smart about it happening?
If you want to call it that word.
Somebody call Mr. Cumble.
Honey,
you won't believe what these
four fat guys said about me.
They said I'm smart.
Until someone said it.
So, yeah, so her side mission is
to destroy her life and
Philippe goes up to
and again, like, going to Long Island's
a fucking hassle, man. It's a total
Slok. I don't care if you're in a car. Yes, exactly. Whatever. It fucking sucks to get out there.
And he goes and he meets Reese Witherspoon. Who, I mean, like, I think that you could tell that she was
going on. Election was the same year. So she's like good in this. Wow. Right. Yeah.
But like she's got nothing to do. This is like a paper thin character. Like she's not even like the bad
girl. Like I guess he's the good girl, but there's nothing to play with this. You know what I mean? Like
because you need to see her much like election actually like swimming in the student population like interacting
and seeing like how she is at school kind of because that's what they sort of portray her as is like
she's sort of like nerdy cares about class kind of stuff the headmaster's daughter the new headmaster
and when she got published in 17 magazine that said she was from Kansas City Kansas
yeah so it's like a she's from a prep school out there and is now the dad is now taking
over this prep school they go to and that I guess I get it sounds like a fucking French thing
like the new head master yeah i think like a huge problem with this movie and we've touched on
this is you know we don't really get to see there michelle geller and reese witherspoon play
off each other and to do a whole good girl bad girl dichotomy which is it's trying to do
you need to see them play off each other you only see it like that one scene like you know
when they're in the bathroom towards the very very end of the movie yeah and so that's a big
problem and they're pretty good in that scene too like to your point like that's actually
like one of the best scenes in the movie that you're like,
yeah, I would watch all of that.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I kind of thought the same thing.
And I was like, oh, this movie's got like four minutes left.
And it finally found the thing after like an hour and a half.
Or even have Reese Witherspoon interacting with Selma Blair.
Like she only interacts with the aunt and Ryan Philippe.
And that's it.
She's just locked down in his aunt's home.
Which I feel is another kind of outdated.
Like, you're not leaving the grounds.
He'll stay here with me.
and he comes in and he's like
Philippe is being like two-faced to her right
to the end he's like oh aunt whatever
I'm my man yeah is this where she sets
them up to like go volunteer with
no that's a little
is that in her okay one of the
things that kind of get started around here
but it does go throughout the movie
is the just rampant homophobia
that you have yes I was just about to bring
that up like in this scene where when he first
meets her and like he hits on Reese Witherspoon
and she's not having it he's like
oh I got it gay and she's like
what and he's like oh sorry it's getting real
lesbian vibe from you.
In the late 90s
and white people love that fucking
the word lesbian was a total punchline.
Watch that friend's season.
It's very close to friends almost entirely.
You have one black character in the movie
set in New York City.
Ramping in homophobic.
Mansions. The only thing you're missing
is somebody in a fat suit. That's the only
thing you're missing and then it would just be friends.
I would kill for a coffee shop in this movie.
just some other people around
just yeah please go to his second
location well we would never be caught
dead in a coffee shop
with all the peasants
we're not going to central perk today
no no no
man's central perk
so he finds out that
somebody wrote her
in advance another
handwritten letter with perfume on it
is sealed with a wax stamp
that said
I should comfort him on the front
that said that he was a scumbag
it's dear clear of him and he doesn't know who it is
so he goes to Joshua Jackson
again welcome to homophobia town
Joshua Jackson with his hair dyed
like peroxide blonde
oh man is this something
and he is vamping it up
and it is so uncomfortable
I'm like
there's moments in there
also it's a weird thing
and I feel like if you thought about it
like this is definitely coming up in other movies too
but like he's the gay guy who's also
the drug dealer and it's just like the conflation of that it's like well he's got to go to his dealer
who's also gay obviously it's the 90s he's also the only other character who's like out
other than i guess christine baransky who's out and out evil like he's like i'll do this sure
i'll take money to like set up this honey pot for this guy oh right right there's a blackmail
scheme going on yeah and so what is the deal here it's like so this dude is somebody's
greece wetherspoon's best friend best friend oh that's right yeah that's maybe is who is
second or third crow i lost count no really yeah he was a
third crow i just remember him on ugly betty yes he was on that oh yeah and he's on all
those hallmark movies but steve it's third crow uh excuse me it's the third i apologize
i want everybody know who is the third was the second one for a long i think no it's
oh right yes yeah maybe it sounds all maybe was this guy the
that trailer by the way i haven't watched it yet but what a surprise he kept his hair cut from
Blade Runner 2049.
Morbius, I'm sorry.
I'm thinking of Morbius.
Oh, yes.
Jared Leto.
I don't know, oh, God, why I watched that trailer.
I watched that trailer to,
I know exactly why I'm wearing a comic book t-shirt right now.
I watched it, and I did not enjoy it.
Is that right?
Yeah.
What is this comic book t-shirt you have here?
It's a saga.
Oh, I read a couple of volumes of that.
I did two, and then stop.
It's hard to keep up.
It was the thing I get into with comics where I'll buy, like,
two trades, and I'm like, this is amazing.
can't wait to continue oh what's that it's been four years yeah comics are hard to keep up with
they're also really expensive hobby which is why like go in and out so like if i'll be i'm sort
of in right now and i'm like reading a few things although some of the things i'm reading i think
i'm to stop like the batman book i'm like totally oh is it not is it not as good i'm not really
feeling it yeah i'm not really feeling it i've been off that man for a little bit what's the
batman up to these days i don't know the joker's back
He's gonna be back, and I'm like, oh, this bitch, man, you know, this bitch got some finty red lipstick on.
I could beat his ass, like, please, like, come on.
Is he extreme or does he have, like, a suit on?
He has a suit on, so he's not, like, you know, as-
Stapling his face or anything.
Oh, God, that was a dark period.
That's what I stopped.
I was like, the face-off Joker thing, I was like, no, thank you.
That sounds pretty extreme.
Yeah, the Joker, I'm just, is a character that I feel works in smaller doses.
and the problem is people are so obsessed with that character
that you won't be able to do the smaller doses
like I don't really think he should be seen that much
no and it should be he shouldn't run his own thing
it should be like drips and drabs a little dabble do you
it's almost like a two hour feature film about the character
is weird and doesn't entirely work
and could have been a piece of shit
a piece of shit so what is the deal
how does Joshua Jackson know that this dude is on the down low
because they've been hooking up.
Yeah, they've been pulling around before and like, you know.
So he's like, I'm willing to have him come over.
You can conveniently pop in.
At the stroke of midnight as I rub this phallic object.
Which is a, I mean, it is a pretty horrific.
I mean, like, the guy is like outwardly homophobic.
So he's not like a great guy, but like he is closeted at it.
You know what I mean?
Like it's a shitty thing to do.
It makes him like, well, this is his kink and you got to support it.
Yeah.
like a really shitty thing
but what's also shitty is the fact
that he calls himself the Gregster
yes absolutely complete
with personalized license plate
wait there was a personalized license plate
there is you see like
I think it's when this sequence starts
and it's like Ryan Philippe is going to Joshua
Jackson's and the Gregster
has parked outside and it's
like Greg something like
is the license plate and then
there's some other sticker that's like
totally awesome or whatever it says
And Ryan Philip he like rips it off the bumper
Before he goes in the house
Like just another fuck you
Like this dude gets like maliciously outed
And he's like well at least I still have my bumper sticker
I'm like I miss that beautiful moment
Because I was probably lighting up
And it gets whooshed away
Because he's like got the duster and you know
But yeah there is some sort of personalized license plate situation
That lets you know the Gregster is in town
And he's got a shitty DV camera
So he's taking video footage as well
of their hooking up kind of a thing.
And it's like, you know,
1999 digital video,
so it looks like garbage,
like all of those dog movies.
Yeah, I would just say,
that wasn't me.
What are you talking about?
Look at that resolution.
You can't tell.
I could be anybody in there
with Joshua Jackson.
Can you get some more lighting in here?
This is not going to work for me.
Some overheads.
This was the 1990s
and we wanted Joshua Jackson
to be in movies,
and I don't know why.
Because he's Joshua Jackson.
I don't know.
I have a weird soft spot for Joshua Jackson.
like watched way too much
and wrote too much about the affair
partially for him. Oh, see, I haven't
seen any of that, but we were a big fringe
household. I love fringe
totally. So it was that,
you know, he is forever Pacey.
He's forever, you know, the
main kid from all the Mighty Ducks movies.
This is like six years
after the Mighty Ducks, I think. Mytex is like 93
or something like that. But never
translated to film. That's, yeah.
He's a TV guy. And there's nothing wrong to be a TV guy.
Absolutely. But you can, I mean, there were
these TV movies like we think of like broadcast
you know movies being broadcast on television but like
movies released theatrically in the 90s you know like
Angelica you said it was like a WB movie that's like you had this
like something like what was that movie with Urban Legend
is another like just populate these movies with television actors
teen dramas were the rage on TV and we had to populate
like Party of Five Dawson's Creek
I don't know what tiny
The Vampire Slayer.
Yeah.
Which I was surprised just doing like the timeline math here.
Buffy was in its third season when this movie came out and it's like, well, she's
top bill.
She is.
No, I know.
But it's weird.
It's like you're in this big TV show.
Like, and you're doing this shitty movie?
Well, she tried to do some movies with this.
She did that.
You ever see Simply Irresistible?
Okay.
Yes, I have.
Which one is that?
That's a magic chef one.
Yes.
What was that one?
That's a romantic comedy, right?
I'm not like going.
crazy. It's her and Sean Patrick
Flannery, not Sean Patrick Thomas.
Right, and he's like a magician that cooks food?
No. I mean, I'm trying
to figure out. No, no, no. She's a chef.
Okay. And all of a sudden, like, she gets like magical powers
or something. She's like talking to a crab
or something in that movie? Wow, I do
not remember this movie. I know I have
seen it more than once, but I really don't remember that. You may have even seen it
more than once, but you haven't seen it more than Chris Cabin.
I vaguely remember it. I remember
her in like a chef's coat. That's
what I remember.
I've never seen it.
Should I show my simply irresistible tattoo now?
Please do not.
Are they playing
simply irresistible throughout the movie?
They got to play at least once.
No, I don't think they do
actually.
What the fuck?
Palmer must have been pissed.
I think it's like old
Django Reinhardt songs and stuff like
French feel kind of thing.
Is it a remake of a French film?
I think it's a remake of an Italian film.
Oh, that's weird.
And she also did the Scooby-Doo movies, which people...
Those are like in the 2000s, right?
Those are movies.
they moved, they did some movie.
Hey, it was 24 frames
a second. That's the nicest thing you can say.
I know. When I come out of
like screenings and like I don't like
the movie, I was like, that's a movie and a movie
I guess.
It's kind of the same response I give to
publicists at trade screening. It's like,
well, it was a movie.
It was a movie. You got images
on a screen. Congratulations.
She is in one great movie, which
is Southland Tales, like all of you.
At this point,
At this point, I mean, this fight has been rehashed.
And all I have to say is, I guess I should go back and rewatch it.
I should go back and we watch it.
What do you think of that movie, Angelica?
I didn't care for it.
That's how I felt, too.
I saw it with Chris Cabin.
In the back of the planet Hollywood.
In Times Square.
It was kind of the perfect place to see that.
Hold on.
Is it a screening room or some hobo's basement?
It's a screening room that smells like chicken tenders.
Okay.
I had to cut my hand and squeeze the blood over the evening.
entrance to be got it nice yeah so what do you mean we're opening this planet
Hollywood New York City there's no screening room how am I going to screen all of my
movie yeah all these got a point man we need a screening room in here what the fuck
are we do it's the two of them just yelling at contractors
arc nine I didn't mean the screening room I meant a screaming room I want to come
here out to New York and scream I mean I think Jackie Chan is like the fourth
investor in that franchise is like yeah I guess it's fine
go ahead
but a screening room in
it's amazing what they use that space
for the like press screenings of
stuff like that I went to like a
opening of a Broadway show after party
that was where I saw Adam Durwitz eating the chicken
tenders oh Jesus Adam Turwitz's
coming up later that oh
in one of the most romantic
sequences ever put to film
so he finds out that
he gets Eric Mavius on his side is like you have to
run interference and tell her I'm a good guy
or else you know the jig is up kind of a thing
Or else. I got a website waiting for you, buddy.
Exactly. You know me in my website.
It's going to be me and this fucking shitty real player application.
And it is going to play a grainy, fucking constantly lagging video of you in bed with Joshua Jackson.
So let me get this straight on this next one.
You want me to just have a flashing, you're not a virgin on top of it.
Okay, I could do it.
I mean, how much, how long do you need me to do it for you?
What is this working class web designer?
the first web design right after this scene is the very famous we're sitting in the park kissing scene
oh yeah set the scene first she's brushing her hair oh yeah getting it going for something like all the
hair people out there getting it going the weirdest part about the scene they only realized it
this last time i watched it was the sara michelle gellar is like i have i'm a two face and she even like
kind of talks about this lately. That's her path. It's like,
I have to you, Marsha fucking Brady all the time, but I'm
really this evil person. I'm the Marcia
fucking Brady of the Upper East Side.
Ooh, that line stinks.
And sometimes, I want to kill myself.
Yep, throw that right in. That gets the
fucking sentiment going.
That's how it should end. I like Sarah Michelle a lot.
I like her character, her personality.
She doesn't have the beef for this role.
I don't know. Okay, so
I'm torn about this role.
Like, I
I love Sarah Michelle Geller
I'm like a Sarah Michelle Geller
Apologist March 10th
1997 when I heard that Buffy theme song
that shit changed my life
it's one of the shows that like
I'm very precious about
I don't like like anything else
Josh Sweden has done
but I really have a soft spot for Buffy
and there's some times where she really
works in this role and then there's
other times where she has line readings
that are like
hilarious like they're supposed to be
like a show that she's like a bad
or she's not to be fucked with
but it just makes you really fucking laugh
so I'm torn about this role
those line readings make me think like she's
just pissed off she has to say those things
also probably poor direction
yes also that
well she has
from yeah Mr. Cumble
the fucking Artura
she has the line that was so bad
like I had to tweet it when she's like
I hate when things don't go my way
it makes me so horny
I was like what
she says the first part and then there's some sort of like image break and then she says and it's in the and it's like those two statements yeah don't go together but like she says it that way and isn't that when she starts doing the hand jobs that is the yeah she's seated on top of him like reaching behind herself yeah it's like a reverse reach around yeah can i just say as someone who has given hand jobs i found that pretty awkward and it made me question her technique
Someone's going to spray in a wrist.
I mean, that's very dangerous maneuvering.
That's a thumb down, like, I don't know how to work.
They should make, like, a Ford versus Ferrari, but about a hand job.
I'd watch that.
Like, oh, you think an American guy is going to give a better hand job than these Italians?
All right.
The Ferrari hand job has won the Daytona 500 every year.
I guess we'll just see who comes first.
It's either Matt, it's the both of them trying to get Tracy Letts off.
Is that how that works?
Oh, God.
I'll watch it.
I'm also, also the industrial slacks that he's wearing at the time.
Like, you know what I mean?
There's a zipper involved.
It's not, you don't see anything that's going on there.
No, you don't, which is fine.
Sure.
I mean, it's fine.
I mean, again, because we're this close to pornography.
So she's, but my thing was, is she's trying to portray this really great, you know, clean cut girl for the high school.
But she's like making out with women in the park.
Like, you know what I mean?
Why is this happening in the park?
Broad daylight.
And they do like the kiss first, like without tongue.
And Selma Blair's all like, oh, my God.
Wow, this feels great.
Like, I don't know, man.
I'm worried about her.
And then they do it again with tongue.
And then it's like, it gets even close.
The camera gets even closer.
And it is really like paying attention to those tongues.
And you even get a little like rule.
Yep, just enough, just enough.
Some Cumble coverage.
How many cameras we got on them right now, guys?
Come on, this is, it's a real production here.
We need coverage for the male gays.
We're making fucking cruel intentions, let's go.
You got blur playing in the background, too?
Yes, you do.
Noffian TV, that's a song. I've heard a lot.
And it opened with placebo, which is a band I liked back then.
Oh, man, Marcy's playground, uh, B-side, then to Joshua Jackson.
It's a great soundtrack.
Like, we can say it.
Maybe people disagree with me.
It's the best part about this movie by a country mile.
But again, Eric Mabius is afraid of being murdered in the street for being gay.
And she's baking out with this woman in the middle of Central Park.
Being the Marsha Brady of the Upper East Side, it doesn't make sense.
Someone would have seen her.
I feel like, you know, it just, again, the problem is their, like, social world isn't fleshed out enough.
We, like, legit don't know really many people that they deal with.
So it's kind of, like, hard to kind of place anything.
It's all about, like, your, you know, your reputation, but you don't ever see what that even means.
You never see her be Marsha Brady at all.
Like, not even to Baransky, I think.
Very, very loosely because Ryan Philippe comes into that scene, like, almost immediately blows it all up.
And that's a Brady brunch, brunch, brunch, the bunch.
A brunch.
Brady bunch reference?
Yes.
I'm not familiar.
The mother from the, was that the slutty one?
Marcia.
It's the mother.
No, it's not the lead daughter.
She's the oldest daughter.
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.
Oh, so she's the popular one.
That's what they're trying to say.
What happened to you in the 90s?
You couldn't escape the Brady Bunch in the 90s.
What are you talking about?
There was those two movies, man.
Oh, I saw those.
I actually kind of liked those.
I kind of did too when they came out, but I don't remember them.
I wonder if those, because I saw those movies, like, when they came out,
and it was probably, like, kind of too young to understand what they were doing.
I was like, well, this is just, I didn't get that it's, like, them.
still living like it's the 70s
but it's the 90s and that was the joke
yeah as my little kid brain was like
well that doesn't make any sense this movie's dumb
I was too busy with the cone heads
but did you guys watch the show
I saw it on reruns or something
yeah I watched it I mean I probably have watched some of it
at some point it's like cultural osmosis
yeah I feel like exactly so I don't know any of these
Bradyisms I'm sorry I'm sorry I didn't watch I love the 70s
you didn't watch Michael in black tell you
why would I do that because that's what we're all
doing.
Okay.
Enjoy your shared narrative.
I'll be over here.
No, he was enjoying his cliff
in the backyard.
Yes, I had
I grew up with a cliff
in the backyard.
That's correct.
It's a lovely cliff.
It is.
It's not bad.
We're not live on the air.
You can take the
past the beer.
Kevin was like a jewel thief.
My personal
Rafi.
Lower it.
But so she's
seducing her with her
wiles to get her to the dark side,
which is sex at all.
Not, it's not like I'm going to seduce you to, you know, have sex with you.
It's like, I will make you aware of your body.
It's like very bizarre, empiric way.
Right.
It's the vampire wanting to awaken things in you, right?
Before they take you and make you a child forever.
Is that what the emperor was up to in that last Star Wars movie?
I think so, yeah.
What fuck was that movie, man?
We're still trying to figure it out.
I saw that shit on Christmas and I'm still mad.
I'm like, the fuck, I got out of it, and I was like, yo, like, I ain't about Star Wars like that.
Like, I don't really know it and shit, but the fuck with this movie.
That is the correct opinion.
My office at home is like the true detective wall with all the red.
No, Kylo and big black marker.
You're just building like a little statuette of torn beer chaos.
A grandfather and written in blood in the middle of it with a question mark.
I just keep on watching out on a small TV screaming.
I fell down and I got better.
Emperor Palpatty.
Now, Ray, I'm going to put my tongue in your mouth.
When I do that, I want you to massage your tongue with mine.
Oh, the spittle, like, trail?
But it's like, because the emperor was, like, oozing oil in that movie.
There's just, like, black shit coming out of his mouth.
It's okay, you are my step-granddaughters.
I love that in the Star Wars universe, we still have step-relative.
It checks out.
But they, she's like, why don't you try on your friend Ronald sometime with Sean Patrick Thomas, who's her cello teacher? She kind of come. And again, like, I have a lot of sympathy for Ronald, but the question remains, how old is Salma Blair? You know what I mean? Like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like, okay, I'm, I'm 30, so I don't remember how old I was when I came at the high school. How old are you?
You're like 13, 14.
Right, that's what I thought.
Something like that.
I get, well, she's uncomfortable.
I mean, she's playing it 8 to 16.
Somewhere in there.
That's where, that's how I played it because I went to one of those weird high schools.
It was like a, it was almost like the schools where it's like, it's one room and everyone's in the same grade.
Because I was 7th through 12th grade.
Did you go to school in the Great Depression?
You're like a one room schoolhouse?
Yeah, the rural areas of this country are still in the Great Depression.
I was at the same school from K through 8.
And I did fifth grade five times.
It was like a 10-year bit.
Your finest bit.
Yeah, exactly.
It was like out of sight when I got out.
I took off my tie and I threw it on the floor.
But she's like, you know, she realizes that there's something going on there.
Yeah, and again, like, is Ronald.
And Ronald is told as pre-Julyard, which means he's probably like 17 or 18.
And it's like, or he could be a lot older.
That's the thing.
I was, I don't know.
I read him as a little bit older.
Because he's like a cello instructor.
That's like college age to me.
You know what I mean?
Like that's how that reads.
Which in Ronald does have so difficulties in this movie
and I'm on Ronald's side,
but then I'm like, no, dude.
I don't know what we're doing here.
As a Negro, I am not.
Go on.
No, I don't trust the dude.
Yeah.
Like, there's this moment.
This is a little like ahead.
where Catherine, played by Sarah Michelle Geller,
is watching a video, like, of...
Oh, yeah.
Of Selma Blair and the Ronald character,
and, like, she does this, like, little handstand
and has her leg spread in front of them.
Oh, right, yeah.
And he's straight up looking at it,
and I'm just, like, Ronald, like...
Ronald, you can drink.
Ronald, don't...
Don't do this to yourself, man.
There's plenty...
Come on, man.
What fuck you doing?
Girls weren't
Coala shirts, man.
They could have easily made everyone
college-ed age.
I know.
It makes no sense
why they're not just all in college.
I wish they were just in college
and we got to see some college stuff.
Like, I want to like this movie.
Some college stuff, right?
I don't know.
Whatever I didn't, I don't remember.
But they kind of then
did that movie when they adapted.
It's a Brett Easton Ellis book.
Rules of Attraction.
Because I remember that being sort of like
a spiritual.
cousin of this movie. I only saw that movie
one time. But like
they're in college in that movie, right? Chris Cabin?
They're absolutely in college. It's a shitty movie, but like it
feels okay because everybody's
of age. That alleviates a lot of
this creepiness. Exactly, but like
I guess if
it's not a way to fix this movie, but if the movie
in any way acknowledged that all of this
was weird, which it does not, it's just
all like kids playing grown up and
it is very uncomfortable if you start
thinking about it. I think that was the thing was Mr.
was like, you know what, as long as nobody thinks about this too hard, I can get away Scott
free. Part of the problem is it's like too serious. Like the way they're talking to each other about
their schemes and shit. Yeah. And I think this is the same year as American Pie. Yeah. Yeah. Which is
also high school sex, but they go comedy and that makes it work more. Yes. It's like sillier.
So it's like fine. Silly sex. Yeah. A big problem with this movie is that it takes itself too
seriously and I wish it was like a little bit like
sillier in a way and like
sort of in because there's moments where it's almost
campy especially with Catherine
Sarah Michelle Geller's line readings. I'm like
you're really amping it up
and it's just like why not just lean
into that sort of craziness but then
it chooses to take itself too seriously
especially when it comes to Ryan
Philippe and Reese Witherspoon's relationship. It's very
very earnest and I was very
very bored looking at them argue or look at each other or like wow we're so blonde i don't know
whatever they were talking about because it's totally from just a completely different movie like
whenever they go to scenes with the two of them you're like all right well this isn't the other thing
the other thing though that's really obnoxious is it's a movie who screenplay thinks it's
really clever with some of the lines and there's a sarah michel line that's absolutely awful
is she she's reacting to something filippe is done or said and she says something
like, well, don't do this
with the speed of a hurdler from
the Special Olympics? And you're like,
okay, like,
that's a joke. Like, it's supposed to be
a joke in the screenplay. There's a Star Trek
The Next Generation line, I missed it. She calls him
Picard or something like that.
Boldly go where no one has gone before.
Picard. And it's like, does this character
watch Star Trek the next generation?
But I do.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
But Picard was known
for Deflowering Virgin.
Yeah, that is.
No, don't you be spurred.
It's such a great captain.
I'm going to dip down into her neutral zone.
Come on.
Watch this little romulan.
Let's give it a kiss.
You watch that show.
He never touched anyone who was under their mid-40s.
And that is the absolute right attitude.
That's totally true.
That is why I loved him.
I was like, I had a crush on Picard as a young girl.
Oh, yeah.
But I knew he would never look at me the same way because I was a young girl.
And I respected him for that.
You say that, but you've never seen the young Picard, Steve.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Hello.
All right, Mr. Data.
Now, I'm going to put my tongue in your mouth.
When I do that, you take your robot tongue and massage my tongue with it.
That's a nice picnic I've made for us.
Oh, my God.
Our date on the Holladeck.
This is Slash that definitely exists, by the way.
Oh, totally.
Computer.
Coffee and TV by Blur.
All right, Holladek.
initiate cruel intentions protocol
excellent
now just that scene
over and over again please
computer repeat
yeah I don't know
yeah so she's like trying to get
Salma Blair to have sex with Ronald
and Ronald wants
this is when there are other
more letters are being written
right because Ronald that's revealed
has written tons and tons of love letters to her
someone in this movie needs to be like
what the fuck with all of this manual
correspondence. What are we talking
about? Pick up the phone. You got shitty
cell phones in this movie. Use those. They're not all
nerds and pedophiles. So they can't do
it. They can't do it. It's so
dumb. But they can make intricate
website. Yes, they can.
I wish there was a thing, like, when he goes to
the website, there was like a little counter.
Or the old, like, the visits counter
that just a tick by. It would just be like
two. Zero, zero, zero, zero,
zero, zero, zero. A sex crime, web ring.
Do you remember web rings? Yes.
Oh, I do. All right. Yeah, I'm going to ruin
Tara Reid's life, which you need to do, my friend, to help me ruin her life,
is to go to geocities.com, forward slash Ryan Philippi,
forward slash user, forward slash Tara Reid is a slut,
forward slash MPR3, forward slash. Sebastian, everyone who's in
is on Angelfire now.
Loser. That is a blast from the past.
Oh, yeah. Oh, my God, Angelfire? Are people going to know what we're talking about?
Probably not.
parents. Just think of live journal,
Tumblr, and
I don't know, there's probably another one. Those are all old
lady websites you're talking about. What do they use now?
Yeah, what do kids use now? Tick-Tock. It's
all TikTok. Oh, fuck. Okay, imagine
you post on TikTok.
There you go. Yes, imagine it.
Same shit.
Someone's hacked by
TikTok.
Oh, man, Picard's saying hacked my TikTok.
I like just watched the
new Picard show, a few episodes of it.
Oh, lucky.
Because I'm reviewing it for Vulture.
Yes.
You know, by the time this comes out, we'll be hit, we'll have been out for a while.
But now I'm imagining like older Picard, so it's making all this.
Even worse?
Yeah, it's making it much worse.
Let me show you my chateau.
It's a nice chateau.
And the dog, oh my God.
Oh, number one.
Number one.
It's so cute.
I'm so jealous you've seen episodes.
We're recording this the eve of the premiere.
Yeah, we're going to say to me.
So, yeah, I'll be CBS all accessing.
Might be going to the office a little late tomorrow morning.
Watch my Picard.
I hope he does the same thing as with Brandy and once upon time and I wouldn't.
He's sticking him on Wharf or something?
Mr. Wharf, this is the last of your bad ideas.
And you are on a horsey.
Number one, champ balls.
Yes, yes.
Computer, run, Cilio Drive protocol.
Oh, God.
Stop it.
Oh, I love it.
Around here is when he's, so,
Philip Hay is like full on,
let's make this concerted effort
to try to ruin Reese Withersfin's life.
So he's got to do it by playing the nice guy.
This is around when they go on this date
to the old folks home.
Yeah, sure.
Because nurse aunt Nurse Ratchet
What is the actresses his name?
I feel like Louise Fletcher.
Thank you.
I'm calling her fucking Nurse Ratchet.
Did she win an Oscar for that or she got nominated?
I believe she was nominated.
Yeah.
Did she win?
Yeah.
I'll find that.
She should have if she did.
I just looked at the Wikipedia page that I was high.
Very, very high.
This is why you shouldn't work from home kids
because you don't get as much work done
because you're just smoking the weeds.
But it's a better environment.
It is a better environment.
Is your Picard write up just about the dog's fur for about it?
Yeah, just about the dog's fur.
It's just about how, like, different he drinks is Earl Grey now, which I noticed.
I was like, he said Earl Grey decaf.
Oh, really?
I was like, wow.
Well, I need decaf because my fucking heart will explode.
My fake heart that I have.
Louise Fletcher did win the Oscar.
Oh, good.
You know what, good for her.
She's a good actress.
She is a shit actor.
In this shitty movie, but.
I mean, I feel like she.
She's added to give it a little oomph little gravitas
getting the Academy Award Reuter in there.
Yeah, so she's like, oh, I need volunteers
for the old folks home, but I've got opera tickets
or some horseshit. You guys got to go.
It sounded like a real line.
I think we're missing a few important things,
before we get to this.
Oh, please.
One of the things is Catherine decides to tell Christine
Baranski, doesn't she tell her?
Oh, right. This is after she sees the video.
Yeah, about Selma Blair and...
Sean Patrick Thomas?
Sean Patrick.
Fucking three first names.
What is he going to kill a president?
It bothers me when people have three first names.
I don't know why.
But anyway.
Because you can be standing in the shadow of an assassin at any turn.
Is Selma Blair tells Sarah Michelle Geller where she stores the love letter.
Yes.
Which then she can use to tell her mother.
It's just a weird.
It's just like, oh, he's writing me love letters.
You don't have to say you hide them and your doll has.
Yeah.
Which is also to leave the way.
we're dollhouse out of this scenario.
Dude, my skin was crawling.
He's too old for that.
Exactly, but it's like we're infantilizing this character.
And now she's got a fucking dollhouse and I'm freaking out.
I stuffed them in my teddy bear.
You might as well have said it.
Yeah, the little teddy bear's back on zips and all these love letters are really.
But there's like this moment where because like, so Sarah Michelle Geller and Christine
Branski, they meet up when Sarah Michelle is like going shopping, which is really fucking.
weird like she's just like at a store and then she's like Christine Bernanke's like is it drugs
and Sam Michelle Geller's like it's words you're black man but but there's this exchange where
like Sarah Michelle Geller tells her like you know I think there's something going on with
Selma Blair and John Patrick Thomas and then I know she's so young and he's so and then
Christine Beranski's screened black yeah the scariest thing possible is that her daughter
it could be convoying.
And they're just conversing in this mall food
court or wherever they're supposed to be doing
the shopping or whatever. And in a movie
where there might be another black person
other than one, that would be almost
like, oh, she's the out of touch one.
But in this movie where he's the only black
guy and she's like, it's a black person.
It's like, well, what are we talking about?
Yeah, it's almost sounds like the voice of the crew.
Exactly. The voice of the audience.
Like, yeah, if it was, you're
like commenting on this society level, whatever.
If she was the shitty old white lady, which she is the shitty old white lady, that's one thing.
Right.
But like she tries to, they quote unquote save it by trying to make it a coffee joke after this thing.
Yeah. Yeah, because she's like says, oh, brown sugar. Oh, no, no sugar or whatever.
Oh, right, because someone's coming to, like, fill her coffee.
There's like a waiter or something.
In the store.
Sarah Michelle's, I think she has like a handler that goes around with her.
Oh, is that what it is?
Oh, yes.
Yeah, she's a Vietnamese maid or something.
Which is very weird.
She's just silent as all hell, just always behind the commercial killer.
Was she starring in that Oliver Stone movie?
What was that?
With Tommy Lee Jones.
Heaven and Earth?
Oh, yes.
That is the same woman, is it not?
Yeah.
She died like not long after this, I think.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kind of sad career.
Never seen Heaven on Earth.
It's not a long time ago, and I don't know if it's good.
It's always hit and miss with that stone.
Well, yeah, it's an Oliver Stone movie,
so you're starting off already.
Not great.
Yeah, and like, so she forbids them to see each other,
and she, like, yells at Ronald,
and there's like a Colin Powell joke here
because it's 1990 fucking nine.
Oh, that's right.
She's like, I'm not racist because I donated to Colin Powell.
He's got a great reply to this.
Yeah, their exchange is really, really fascinating.
Christine Branski and Starr and Patrick Thomas
when she confronts him.
It's really uncomfortable
Also like not
Not this movie
Yeah
You know
Deal with that someplace else
He says like oh I guess you put me in my place
Because you've donated to Colin Brown
There's also something where he's writing a musical
About Martin Luther King Jr
And I'm like
What the fucking fuck are we talking about?
I said I like in my head
I was like is that the only black person they know
Like what the fuck kind of opera would that be
Like the fuck?
Like the fuck?
When that's brought up
Selma Blair has some really corny
line where she's like, what does she say?
Like, oh, I love Dr. King
or Dr. King's my favorite or something like that.
Yeah, I love Dr.
King. She says it's so weird.
It's like, the fuck, the
fuck. Like, don't sexually
say that name. You know, we have to sexualize
Dr. King right now. It just, it
really lets you know this woman, this
girl doesn't know what sex is at all.
So she's just like throwing sex on anything.
Yeah, she throws sex on anything.
And that's why Catherine
has the bad
sort of get involved with her and go down on her, which happens, I feel like, before the old folks home.
Yeah, I believe, yeah, you're right.
Because there's like a weird moment where he's like stroking the tennis racket and licking his lips, like to remind her what happened.
Well, he also, he gets her drunk.
He gives her a Long Island iced tea, which is the last time I was blackout drunk.
I had three of those.
Oh, that'll do it, dude.
And I'm, like, a 36-year-old fat guy.
You know what I mean?
Not a 13-year-old girl.
Oh, yeah, because she's got some line.
And, again, like, this is all supposed to be, like, a joke.
She's like, oh, this doesn't taste like ice tea.
And he's like, it's from Long Island.
Oh, you're 14.
And he gets, yeah, he coerces her.
Like, now you've got to promise to let me kiss you.
It's, then it's just like, no, no, no, I don't want to kiss you there.
I want to kiss you down there.
You're not going to break a promise, are you?
Like, that's one of the things he says.
Exactly.
This scene reads so weird
And like it's supposed to be
Again, because Solvo Blair's older than Ryan
Philippates doesn't look that weird
But it reads really weird
Yeah
Yeah
So yes, those horrible things happen
But that's the thing too
Is he has to taunt her afterwards
It's like one thing to like
Do that is like
Yeah, the tennis racket's uncomfortable
But she's she is such an infant
Yeah
She doesn't know that she had an orgasm
She has to get confirmation
Oh, right, Sarah Michelle tells her.
Like, oh, that's what was, that's what that
feeling was. Yeah, because she describes
it and she's like, oh, it was like an
explosion. And it's like,
oh, God, are we doing this?
I'm like, am I really here?
Is this really happening?
I'm genuinely surprised Sir Michelle Geller
didn't have to tell her that, oh, that's your vagina.
That's a vagina.
That's a vagina. And what's that?
Was that on the Brady Bunch?
Yes, that was.
Marsha also did that.
Cut to Mr. Cumbull's office.
Like, yeah, this is how girls talk.
Click, click, click, click, click, click, click.
This checks out.
Yeah, never talk to an actual female human being.
Never.
Yeah, so they go to Long Island.
Like, they're having sort of a lunch date and he's trying to do something here.
This is where Louise Fletcher is like, I think she says, I have concert tickets, which is hilarious.
Because I just pictured her going to like a Springsteen show.
They've already had the pool scene, which is not famous, but it's a pool scene.
This is when you see Philippi's ass
And oh yeah, this is where it's
Supposedly
This hashtag fake asses.
Dude, this conspiracy goes all the way to the top
All the way to the cheek.
I mean, like you see this guy from behind
It's like fucking Aaron Rogers.
And like there's some like flirtation
But like she very pointedly pulls away from
She's like, you're not a good guy.
And well, I am a good guy because I'm going to go
Fuck around with old people for a little while.
Love fool.
They play Love Fool.
Yeah.
They go from like Nazi music to like Love Fool.
Nazi music.
It's like grand like orchestration music.
Oh, you mean opera.
Yeah.
What you're talking about.
Opera.
Yeah.
Opera.
Got it.
So yeah, it's like he's pretending that he loves old people.
Which come on.
That's a lot.
If anybody tells you that, I mean, what are we doing?
But they're volunteering.
And like he gets stuck with this, you know, one woman,
he's assigned to this one woman.
woman and he tries to like go with Reese Witherspoon and the order to Lee's like that's not
how this works like you go and spend time with another person and he's like treating this woman
like garbage and it's like again supposed to be funny because he's like saying stuff and she's
hard of hearing so he's like I fucked your daughter last night just like excuse me it's sad because
he says to her like oh we played like three games of backgammy yeah oh yes oh we played three
games of back and it's like yeah and you won each time and she's
She's like, oh, my.
I did.
I don't remember that.
Well, it must be my feeble brain.
I'm like, oh, this poor little old lady serves a nice person.
David in her.
Not this douche novel.
Definitely.
I don't trust him with this old lady.
That's the one thing he hasn't checked off yet.
Oh, my God.
Granny shaggers, look out.
Granny shaggers.
Hey, Steve, did they ever put a second season of Age Gap Love on Netflix?
That's a damn shame.
But there is a show on We,
TV called Extreme Love, where they talk about
Granny Shaggers occasionally. It's like
they dip into all sorts of different... But they're like faster when
they do it or something? No, no. It's an anthology show, so they're
talking about a bunch of different fetishes.
It's the same British lady narrating
it. So what else they get into, dude?
Burry talk. There was clown
sex coming up. Stop it.
A joke or play.
You know that exists, dude.
A lot of balloon popping.
Balloon popping habits. Yeah.
Hot.
man
fucking a balloon animal
it's the only way
you can do it legally
what
thank you
you indeed
it's a podcast
I like how that's
always your excuse
it's a podcast
or it's Patreon
although this
you guys should be
Patreon supporters
I am
oh thank you
oh yes
and I love all the content
thank you
yeah we are dirtier there
so more of that on Patreon
are you though
I don't know man
that seems
like you're doing just fine here on the old public feed.
We get some fat boy Slim coming up right here.
Raise you like a shoe.
So this is like at the 50 minute mark of a 97 minute movie.
At this point,
I should be starting to move towards that.
I kind of like Ryan Philippe.
Yes.
For this arc to work in any serious way.
Absolutely.
And he is just berating this old lovely lady
and then Reese Witherspoon falls for him in this roadster.
Yeah, she starts making funny faces to make him laugh.
Oh, right.
And that's, you know, if you make a man laugh, that's the weight of his heart.
Oh, my God, that's what marriage story told.
It is much more dangerous to share a laugh with someone than to have intercourse, is what I understand.
Yeah, see, I don't really agree with that.
Also, she's mocking Ryan Philippi here because she's using her face, and he can't do that at all.
No.
Yeah, she's like, look at my eyebrows.
Could go this way and that.
Look at how I change the dynamic of my eyes.
So it seems like I'm sad one moment and happy in the next.
How dare you?
He pulls off the road.
This is called a smile.
Come on, Sebastian.
Do it.
His head just explodes.
And so, and then he, then him and Catherine kind of have like a confrontation.
Yes.
And that's when he said like, she made me laugh.
And I was like, reminds me of that marriage storyline.
It really does.
It's very similar.
I'm just picturing Noah Baumbach
with his laptop and he's like taking a break
from writing and cool intentions
he's on. He's like, say.
Well, that's a part of the mayor's story
that people don't talk about a lot is that
Scarlett and Ab Driver are step siblings.
Oh, yeah.
That movie just got a big part.
Just got fucking hotter.
That movie just got so hot.
Meanwhile, this is taking place in Sebastian's office.
What is this room?
He's got like a phone in there,
a big fucking dead.
where he writes his journal and it's like
is this your dad's office that you like
kind of dip into when he's out of town or is it
like your office? I feel like
it's his dad's office. Okay. He's
playing, you know, he's like Millhouse like
I'm calling Daddy on the Big People phone
but Daddy's out of town. I do
Daddy's business
but this is when she
Hello Stock Market. It's like the Flintstones
phone. Yeah, Bada do I like
talking to you?
Sell, sell
sell. You got it.
Dhaba, dapper do.
You're the best, buddy.
This is when she try,
Reese Withersman tries to have sex with him
and he won't do it because he's like,
I can't.
Such a good guy. It's such a fucking good guy.
Oh, but first he's doing some weird reverse psychology.
Like, I'm, I'm just going to leave.
I'm just going to go to like the south of France or some shit.
Oh, right.
And like, you know, you enjoy your life.
Like, just know that you're giving up on love.
And like, you're going to look back at,
and like, realize that's what you.
But you did.
He calls her a hypocrite.
Yeah, he calls her a fucking hypocrite.
You're a hypocrite because you turned you back on love.
You fucking remember that.
I'm fucking 16 and I've known you for three minutes.
I'll get over it.
Yeah, like haven't they only been hanging out for like a few days?
Yes.
It was like the initial meeting and then the old folks home.
And then now this scene.
Talking about a long weekend here.
And it's old 60 hours since you deflowered a child.
Get the fuck out of here anyway.
fucking gross ass motherfucker
nasty ass
I think he's no
he's spent like just as much time
with that orderly from the old folks home
whose real only line is
you go on with your bad self
yeah
sure okay thank you
but yeah so then
she uh she
he rejects her which gets her even more
horny for him and then
classic nagging right
classic that's a classic bag
right
um
and then they
what's a classic
This is part of his strategy.
This is his home stretch strategy.
What was that dude's name Mysterio?
What?
No, no, Angelica, have you ever seen this show?
It was on VH1, right?
And it was mystery.
Oh, it was a pickup artist thing.
The pickup artist.
You see this?
Yes, I did watch a lot of that show
because I used to watch a lot of VH1 reality show.
Oh, yeah, because of like flavor of love,
rock of love.
Like, I used to be so fucking into that shit.
I love trash.
I mix up that show
with those Fox specials
where the magicians were telling
that's trick. Because wasn't that dude also wearing a mask or
something? He had a big furry hat.
Yeah, a big furrow hat and tend to have like, I don't know,
like Matrix wear. Oh, those damn dusters again.
Sex criminals reveal their secrets.
When he tells Sarah Michelle what happened,
she's got a great line here.
This is one of those, like, she just cannot pull off this line.
You had the chance to fuck her and you didn't.
Yeah.
It just lands so flat.
DOA, that fucking line.
Oh, she's also fucking Ronald at this point.
Yeah.
That's right.
Because, like, Ryan Phillips becomes home one day with some flowers or some shit.
And, like, his ass is, like, hearing some moaning coming from Sarah Michelle's room.
Yeah.
And then he comes in and, like, no one's there.
and then she's just like on the bed
and a little slip
oh, I'm just here
I was just like moaning because that's just what I do
during the day and then he like
opens a drawer under her bed and it's
wrong. It's just like in this drawer
nice. It's also great
because he knows like the score
when he goes up to the door and he kind of
has a like clever girl
here we go this is our game
now we're going to open the door. This is the house we live
in I just walk into my step-sister's room
whenever she's fucking
Even though there's 30 rooms in this house
Yes, exactly
Well that's just
That's her fucking room
It's not actually her bedroom
Oh I see
That's the designated fuck space
I too have a fucking room
It has cobwebs in it
Because it happens
Fucking wild
So she like is not buying
You know his I'm in love story
And like
Then he does have sex with her
Right
Then like immediately thereafter
It's like, we're not going to do it, then we do do it.
Yes, this is the colorblind montage.
Oh, that's why he picks her up at Penn Station, which is the remote black and egg white.
Are you sure it wasn't Port Authority?
It might have been Port Authority.
I think it's Port Authority.
Oh, the most romantic place in New York.
Oh, because she's going to skip town is the idea.
And he shows up, yeah.
No, first of all, there's no way it's the fucking Port Authority because rich people don't take the bus.
I think they say bus, though.
I think it's, I don't think it's train.
Yeah, it's one of those.
But there's, like, a moment I got to bring up where, like, Ryan Philippi, like, after the whole, like, oh, he turns her down, realizing he can't do it, where he, like, closes the door and he's, like, looking in the mirror and he's, like, get it together, you pussy.
And it's just like, what?
Like, the fuck is this movie?
Like, who wrote this shit?
You are Sebastian.
Now, do sex crimes.
Do them.
You're sexual terrorists.
Keep it up, buddy.
uh yeah so then they yeah he picks her up at at port authority or someplace they start like making out of
the platform and then they go into a bedroom and they have sex and then like he's feeling great
and then uh sarah michelle gellar's like here's your prize which it's like this it's it is very
chilling the way she presents her stuff like i don't have sex with you either you weird
ghoul like you know what i mean there's a weird way to there's a better way to do that
Sean Patrick Thomas actually has the line
that sums up this entire film
this entire situation perfectly
because in that scene where he's hiding in the draw
and like he's gonna get out of there
because it's getting really uncomfortable
he goes there's some fucked up shit in this house
and I was like yeah dude absolutely
these white people cry
and he's like I don't want to have sexity
and she gets really like you know homicidal here
about like being rejected
which is weird
this is where the Marcia Brady line happens
Yes, I don't want to kill myself.
She's calling him a loser.
Yeah, she says a lot of, like, you know,
there, is it that where, I don't know
if the Marshall Brady lines earlier, but she says, like,
God forbid I exude confidence and enjoy sex.
Yeah.
It's like, girl, like.
You just got your fucking learners permit.
Last summer, what are we talking about?
Sex learners, baby.
You're a child.
Please stop talking about sex.
Yeah, again, if she was 25,
that line would have some power.
but she's fucking 15 or 25 or if this was a fucking
Blythe Danner movie now
Because I feel like Blithe Danner is in like this slew of movies where it's just like
It's okay for old people to fuck
Like if she was doing one of those like again that line is in all of those movies
And we fucked three times and I won each time
That is sex winning
But yeah just for her to be like this 17 year old girl like
It's okay for me to enjoy sex
What are you talking about?
Your white teenagers talk about in 1998 talk about mouse hunt and modest mouse.
And that's it.
I don't want to hear this shit.
I don't know.
I wasn't like maybe this is just me because I wasn't having sex in high school.
I'm a late bloomer.
Ditto.
Oh yeah.
I was, uh, I went to Hot Topic a lot.
I was kind of a metal head asshole.
Nice.
Yeah.
No.
I just mean I also spent a lot of time in Hot Topic.
Man, I agree.
I, I, I, okay.
buying t-shirts.
I'm also going to admit something.
Like, I saw some birds of prey stuff at Hot Toppian, and I was like, maybe.
I was like, no, I'm like, don't do it.
You're 30.
I got that trade.
You have like two angels on your shoulder.
Yeah, yeah, and they're both Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn.
I got that trade coming up next Tuesday, and I am ready to attend.
Yeah, I'm going to press screening for it tomorrow.
And I'm like, I'm actually hyped for this little Birds of Prey movie.
We'll see.
It looks kind of fun.
I mean, I think she's really fun as that character.
She's the best part of that dumb movie that...
Yeah, they took the best part of that shitty, shitty movie.
Yeah.
And gave it its own movie.
Remember Captain Boomerang?
Oh, yeah.
I remember all five minutes of that guy.
Noted Australian potato.
Chi-Courtney.
That's his name.
So this is when she's like, you're going to ruin your reputation as the coolest guy in school.
Zach Morris.
And I'm like, what...
Who gives a fuck?
You're graduating, aren't you?
Yes, A, you're graduating.
And B, this guy's the coolest guy in school, this fucking weird pervert.
He's such a pervert.
Like, he looks like the, he acts like the kind of dude who'd just be, like, sort of jacking off next to you on the metro.
Absolutely.
It'd be cool if they, like, cut to school scenes and no one gives a fuck about either of these people.
Oh, my God.
They, like, or they hate them.
Yeah, they're just fucking nightmare people.
Can't sit here.
Be like, Catherine.
that fucking cunt
Hey
Philippe you jerk it off for what
This guy's a sex pervert I'm telling you
It's like far as cum Chris
Someone starts fucking rocks out of his hand
That makes so much more sense
Dude can you believe it
That fucking Sebastian he was shitty
To the Gregster
Oh my God
Is Greg okay
Oh poor Gregster
But yeah like he's
And he's like oh no
My perfect reputation
I have to like now break up with her
to be cool still question mark why in the most dramatic scene possible and like I just got to say
it was really funny to me watching like Sarah Michelle like freak out after he turns her down
and like say but I want to fuck yes I'm just like wait does that work is that what I should
just get in a room and scream it see what happens it's always it's what's demanded that's the best part
but she's more like but I would like to fuck
That is the way I would like to fuck
That is a sexually aggressive character
You have to do it
Like Dennis Hopper and Blue Velvet
I would like to fuck
I would like to fuck
It is weird
She does say it very strangely
And it's like have you ever fucked
Because I'd say it like that
I would like to fuck
Jeeves bring me a fuck
The fuck you ordered
Is your mother
Thank you
And he breaks up with her
And it's a really, yes, it is an overly dramatic scene.
Apparently, it was so retching for Ryan Philippe to perform in this scene that he threw up after it.
Just like me watching it.
I don't even have a response to that.
That's just really fucking funny.
Just picture.
Shut the fuck up.
You should be stretching yourself on cruel intentions.
Also, like, bitch, I saw that scene.
You weren't stretching yourself.
Shut the fuck out.
The fuck you talk about Ryan Filibbe, bitch.
I can act better than that.
And I'm a terrible actor.
It's either that or the bad clams he had for lunch.
He's not sure which, if he acted so hard or was a bad clam.
It was either my craft or craft services.
But either way, I fired it.
He certainly did.
That director, Cumberl, he said he want clams casino for craft services tomorrow.
Ryan, use it, use it, vomit on her.
It'll work for someone.
Help her.
Oh.
and so this is sort of like the end of the movie where he's like he wants to get her back
because then he goes back to Sir Michelle Girl's like now let's fuck she's like I don't fuck
losers loseers even though I want to fuck I want to fuck I want to fuck I want to fuck
well she says right like oh I just lied to you about I made you break up with her just to
fuck with you because you were just a toy Sebastian silly rabbit it's like fucking
snappy screenplay.
Oh, she makes a tricks reference? Yeah, she does.
And they have some champagne and when
she drinks it, she's like, taste good.
And it's like, what the fuck?
That like response,
I was just like, like, who does that?
That's not a human beings respond. Like, what the fuck is it?
Also, that's not how a 17-year-old
procures alcohol and consumes it in any kind of
classy way. It's like whatever we can
fucking sneak from dad's liquor cabinet
and go like chug it, irrespective.
in a locked room or something.
They're like toasting with crystal.
They should just be aliens at the end of this.
That would be all great twist.
Yeah, they rip their skin off and it's just like
fucking lizard people or some shit.
It's just goop and stuff and species all over again.
It would make way more sense
for the way they're talking, honestly.
Because they speak like fucking Kang and Kodos
You know the aliens are putting people
down here to have the fuck so they know
what's going on for biology classes in outer space.
Note on that. Ryan Philippe has a just
random bowl of maricino cherries
next to his bed.
Oh my god, yeah.
That's, no.
It's got a big label of what we like to eat.
Unless you've got one of those giant
Rick Dalton fucking whiskey sour
mixers, you do not
have a bowl of those.
It's a big bowl of cherries.
The big word that's a symbolism on it.
But like, get a bowl of actual
cherries.
Not cocktail accoutrema.
It's ins, I like gasped when I saw
that because like Selma Blair takes one
He's like, oh, wow.
And it's a...
Sarah Michelle Geller does at one point, like, everybody's in them.
It's ridiculous.
Regular cherries aren't wet enough.
They don't got the syrup on it.
Yeah, they're not dripping.
They ain't hot.
Yeah, these cherries are asking.
Stop ruining Maraschino cherries for me.
They are delicious accessories to all sorts of cocktails I love.
He loves Shirley temples, leave him alone.
Shirley temples, Manhattan.
So he gives her...
Step up to the...
I buy him, dude.
He gives her his leather bound
journal. He gives it to her mother.
Yeah, because he's been calling her right and
like harassing her after this whole breakup
thing. I can't believe he's using the fucking phone.
And he like shows up at like
when the mother is having a party
and Reese Witherspoon overhears it.
And yeah, he gives her
we haven't talked too much.
We haven't talked too much
about this journal, but like
I'm sorry. If you're like
committing all these heinous crimes? Why are you
documenting it seriously? That makes
no sense. Because he wants to get
caught. And at the end
of the movie, it quote unquote vindicates
him in some way? Yeah. Fuck this.
And also it's going to... Well, it's his burn book
is a dead at that point. Yeah.
It's one thing to have a journal. It's another thing to have
a collage journal. This is a bit...
With doodles and it's all
clearly just something made by the props
department. I hate stuff like this in movies.
Make it look shitty. When they
showed it, I paused it and I started to try
to read it. And for
Sarah Michelle Geller's entry
in this, it was like
it was saying stuff like
like, oh, she just uses all religions
to her advantage, but she doesn't actually
believe in any.
Oh, that's one of the things that it says.
Oh, that's right. We should talk about her, again,
very vampiric, this cross
that she has. A, you can't give Sarah Michelle
Geller a cross to wear in a movie.
No. Because I'm like, is that Buffy? What's going on?
I'm like, Buffy dyed her hair
and she's like in L.A. again. I'm like,
God, girl, I feel you.
Like, just escape, man.
The Hellmouth is some shit.
I will say, props to Sarah Michelle Geller for acting.
I cannot watch The Body without crying.
I can't either.
Yeah, it just can't do it.
It's an excellent piece of television.
It is.
It's the best thing Josh Whedon has ever done and he will never top it.
Because he has devolved as a creator and he just gets worse and worse.
The Body?
It's an episode.
Jesse, the Body Venture?
Yes, actually.
Yeah, he appeared in that episode.
Yeah, I did a guest spot on Bafi.
I was Dr. Love on Buffy, the Vampire Slyer.
I play her gym teacher who dies and she has to come to terms with the death of me, her gym teacher.
Yop, I was also cut out of cool intentions. I played the horny gym teacher.
Oh, he would call it cool intentions.
It was pretty cool until I got cut.
Angelica, quick Buffy related question.
How do you feel about discounting the first season?
How do you feel about Angel?
Very complicated feelings about Angel.
I feel like Angel is a fascinating show,
but it's like it's issues with race
are just as glaring as Buffy's issues with race.
Even though it has a black character,
please do not, don't.
Oh, you weren't all in on gun?
Gun and he's like, from the streets
and I'm killing vampires.
And then his end is,
It's like the way his story ends is really fucked up.
Angel, like, has some, like, when Angel was good, it was really good.
But when it was bad, it was bad on levels that's just like, I can't believe people get paid for this.
Yes, agree.
Yeah.
But I watch, I rewatch Buffy more because Buffy just means more to me.
And it's high, it's like, I don't know, it's part of it is nostalgia.
I'll admit that.
But I also think it does some really fascinating things with television as a medium.
And again, Josh Whedon, you're never going to get better than that.
You're not a movie director.
Sorry, Pat.
Oh, God, you're not.
That much ado about nothing thing of his.
It was like on an iPhone.
Like, it looked like garbage.
That fucking movie is a disgrace.
Because it's just like, here's a fucking rich people that are all friends in real life.
Let's hang out at my house and just make this thing.
I don't know.
Oh, what's that?
It's theatrically released and is everywhere now.
Well, what a fucking achievement.
Sounds like cruel intentions.
Yeah. I mean, if you're going to do that, like, hi, I'm just, like, you know, famous and, like, I have famous friends. Do, like, a weird, low-budget horror movie. Do something fun. Like, don't do that.
Pretentious Shakespeare thing that you don't even understand anyway. Exactly. Josh Whedon. Come on, boo. I know you. I've seen season seven of Buffy. I know your limits.
But Sarah Michelle Goa has this cross that has cocaine in it at all times. Oh, yeah. Cocaine cross. Cocaine cross. I like that. I like that.
album. Cross Cane. And
so like
she six Ronald
on him. She's like you know by the way
Ronald he hit me which is not
in the movie and I don't know if it's supposed
to be. No it's a total lie. It's a lie.
She's a liar. She's a liar.
A bit manipulative.
Yeah she's one lie motherfucker.
He hit me and he also
had sex with your girlfriend
to seal and he's like
and he rushes after him and
this is after Philip he gives
her the journal this is the end of the movie and she like
Annette by the way the least sexy name of all time
Annette I kept thinking like who what
what is the name like this doesn't seem to fit a
1999 high schooler I mean Sebastian's kind of weird
too yeah all kind of weird is Sebastian a holdover from
dangerous liaisons I don't know about Annette though I mean
it's all their titles though it's never I don't think you even
hear their names it's like the Count do something
Is he Count Valmont then?
Yeah, he's the Count Belmont.
Okay.
And but like, honestly, you name your kid Sebastian, you're turning them into a sex criminal.
It's very true.
Even the crab from Little Mermaid.
Oh, yeah.
I've seen him do something.
That guy was a horny crustacean, man.
We apologize to anyone listening named Sebastian.
Apologize to Dr. Gorka, who we know.
Oh, man.
Fuck that.
And he's quite on the level.
But so like, Annette is rushing down.
to like apologize or like reconcile with him he's walking along central park and
Ronald confronts him and they get into a fight this is hilarious just right in the
middle of like park drive I would just yet there's like cars whizzing by them there's
bikes on the other line look I'm gonna fight you let's get into the park and do that
it's also a weird thing where like when Reese Witherspoon leaves her super mansion
she's just kind of like wandering around like it's really like the spatial relationship
between the three characters makes no fucking sense and the fact that they wind up
all converging in the largest park in the city
like make it a small town
make it a summer in the country
if we're in Westchester like the whole time or whatever
so they fight for a bit
and then Annette tries to break them up
and I think Ronald accidentally pushes her into the street
and then Sebastian jumps in front of a cab
and he goes up dude
oh yeah he gets some hype
this cab it takes like when I
I haven't seen this movie since it like came
out and I was just like wait
no
he's not dead
he sees him and he honks but he's
I'm not going to stop doing tiny
and then it keeps caught
yeah it's like that's seen in Austin Powers
where the steamrollers
whatever and it's just like no
but I won't get out of the way
he gets hit and then he
dies yes
I have to say I remembered this
completely differently
and this was like the testament
I've not seen this movie in a long
ass time I remembered him getting hit
by a car is
in front of the church
where like the funeral is
like I thought that whole thing
was like the end of the movie
for some reason
and I also had this
big totally fake
obviously incorrect memory
of Sarah Michelle
was the one driving
the car
like he's the fucking
great Gatsby or something
it would make a way better
it would also the Wicked Witch
of the East
fucking music came in
when she did it
yes
that was playing in
So this fucking baby dies.
He thinks he had a full life because he had a bunch of sex.
I guess.
Well, he says,
I love you to Annette.
And if I'm Ronald,
I'm getting the fuck out of town.
Dude, that is the deleted scene of Ronald running from the police because that's like,
it's never addressed.
Like what happened here?
We just like cut to this funeral.
But like,
come up.
Like that character is completely out of the movie.
Yeah.
My black ass would have been gone.
Now I'm just jogging in Central Park.
I have nothing to do with that.
Annette didn't know his name.
He's just a guy.
Oh, that's right.
They never crossed paths.
Again, that's why they should have had some big party scenes so people could know each other.
Also, like, big party scenes and, like, high school movies are so much fun.
Yeah, totally.
I never went to parties in high school, but it helped me imagine.
Well, it's like, you know, American pie the same year.
Ryan Phillip, you could be ejaculating and with Solo Cup.
There's a lot of gags there.
Exactly.
I was a perennially unsexy teen.
So, yeah, I also tried to envision what that was like going to party.
I went to one party once and there was a bunch of adults there, like drinking with children.
And I'm like, oh, I guess I'm not going back to this.
The cool parent parties were always the worst.
It was like, you kids can drink down in the basement.
Just don't drive.
We'll be up here also drinking.
This was not a cool parent party, my friend.
These were just dudes hanging around town.
Oh, no, that's worse.
You were in the end of society?
I wish it was that wealthy, Chris.
Eric walked in on the shunting.
Imagine the shunting in a barn.
Oh, it was a barn party?
No, it was just a house.
It was just as a house.
There was some cows in it, but it was a house.
There was some cowplay.
This paved floor.
A lot of people got milked that day.
Noice.
Yeah, but no, so I wasn't a party guy.
So this is when Sarah Michelle Geller is going to give her eulogy at the school.
And we're finally at fucking high school.
Thank you.
Minute 91, we're at the high school.
And she runs into Reese Withers in the bathroom.
Best scene of the movie.
Yeah, it's like they're kind of, she, like, each one knows about the other but won't say it kind of a thing.
I've been there where you know a woman and you're in the bathroom.
I'm like, I know you because like you like, fuck.
some dude, I know.
Reputations.
Yeah, all the time.
Did you have cruel intentions towards that woman, do you think?
Oh, totally. I have cool intentions.
Uh-oh. Oh, boy.
Watch out.
See, dudes don't talk in the bathroom.
No. I mean, it's a bad enough experience there as it is, but if you're a dude
talking, like trying to talk to another guy in the bathroom, shut the fuck up.
I am in here to use the restroom and leave.
At my old office.
They were bathroom talkers.
Just chatter boxes in the can?
Big time.
Yeah, I had to stop using urinals.
Oh, wow.
I'm sorry.
No, well, now I urine at home.
Oh, you know what?
I'm saying.
I urine at home.
Yeah, I was going to let that go, but thank you for making the right decision.
Is it supposed to be urinate?
Yeah.
It was supposed to be.
But we got it.
Yeah, exactly.
All language is, you know?
Like, you guys know language.
I see and read
in like hieroglyphics
So it comes out a little like
I'm saying you know bird
Symbol
Yeah
Box
I can't even say symbol
Circle
Circle with line in it
Your advance apologies
To ancient Egypt
Question about the Coke Cross
Sure
Because she's taking a bump
At the start of this scene
You're like wow
Coke Cross
I recall seeing the cross
At the beginning of the movie
because she pulls it out in front of Christine Branski
and has some bullshit line of like, you know,
oh, when I'm lost, I just look at this kind of thing.
Do we know prior to the bathroom scene that there's coconut?
She does it earlier in the movie?
Does she? Okay. I think I was lighting up at that point.
I miss that.
When Bransky leaves, she takes a...
Oh, right there in that scene.
Oh, if you better look out there, she's got a colch cross.
Yep, confiscated a lot of these being a gym t-shirt.
You know, Cumbull, you better not give me the Coke Cross.
I had some troubles back in the day.
Dude, he's called the director Cumboy.
Yeah, Cumboy, let's go again.
No, it's Cumbull.
I'm going to need another take, Cumboy.
This scene is a sticky situation.
Yeah, you cast me, motherfucker.
You're stuck with it.
We're cutting him.
He's calling me Cumboy.
We're cutting him from the film.
We're calling me Cumber.
You know what, this movie doesn't need a gym teacher.
It's sexy enough without a gym teacher.
Just call action, Cumboy.
I don't got all day.
Oh, do you want me to give you some respect?
Call you Cumbull?
Cumbull, Shoup,
good.
Reggie.
Like that Harrison Ford
in that fugitive movie,
Richard Cumble.
Only I did kill my wife.
No, he did it.
So they have this scene.
She's going to give this eulogy.
She's giving the eulogy, and as she is,
the verve is picking up there.
Bittersweet symphony.
Ooh, cementing
this soundtrack's legacy man.
Great tune.
And everyone is walking out on the eulogy
And she gets all upset at the end of 12 Angry Men for four seconds
Boy, you do not realize it until it happens
But there are fewer things funnier than a funeral walkout
I was he-haw slapping my knee laughing at this
It is true to be like I mean I understand like she should be like the last person giving his eulogy
But is still his eulogy maybe wait till after
Yeah, yeah you can spread the gossip a little bit after
Yeah, I think so is this like a sort of
school related just like memorial service or is the coffin there i don't know the i can't recall
there's the photo like the picture of him yeah yeah i don't remember seeing a coffin okay yeah well
because it's because the movie starts with like that weird helicopter shot over the the big
cemetery in brooklyn you know so yeah i'm sorry you'd think it'd be a celebration that
he's dead yeah at this school it's like the fucking going crazy yeah and the return to the jedi
He was fucking farting.
He's fucking sex criminals in the ground.
Reese Witherspoon gets a medal.
We have deactivated all of his websites.
Yay!
Dada-da-da-da-da-da-up.
30 years later, the dead speak.
Ryan Villaville is on another planet,
and he somehow made this huge army.
Or whatever.
He wishes.
Someone gave a shit about him.
Yeah.
The only time to give a shit about him is him playing the straight man and McGruber.
I've never seen McGruber.
It's fun.
It's fun.
Roll yourself a decent size number and just slip into the warm bath that is McGruber.
I can do that.
So, I mean, it's dumb as fuck, but like in the best way possible.
Because it knows it's dumb as fuck.
It's a total classic.
We're getting that television show.
Is that what you're telling me the other day?
Yeah, supposedly on a streaming service, Peacock.
Peacock, seriously.
Not enough for me.
You got to up the end.
I'm not, I'm not getting there.
Like Picard got me, like, Twilight's own discovery, like, got me into CBS All Access, but
now Picard's, like, got me sticking.
Yeah.
As much as I love the McGruber film, the television.
And, like, who's coming back?
Is Kristen Whig there?
I mean, no, I think it's just Forte.
It's just Forte?
I have no idea.
What's Kristen Whig doing?
Come on.
He's going to be in the Wonder One movie as Cheetah.
Oh, that's right.
I saw that trailer.
I'm curious.
I'm so curious about how they're going to pull off Cheetah.
Like, I'm a huge...
Chester?
Yes, yes.
You're the Cheetos guy, right?
Yes, he's the Cheetos guy.
He's the Cheetos guy.
I haven't had Cheetos and so long.
Oh, I'm hungry.
How about that was McGrueber?
It's a perfect pairing.
But I'm so curious about that movie.
I really...
I hope for the best
because I'm like a big Wonder Woman fan.
I love Cheetah.
There's some good stuff about the first movie.
There's some not good...
Danny Houston.
Yeah.
That movie.
But I'm curious.
It looks fun.
It does look fun. I'm curious, yeah, because it's either going to be a CGI monster fest.
I heard it's a lot of practical effects with Cheetah.
Okay, I'm into that.
That's pretty cool.
That would be smart.
And that's, I know nothing about Wonder Woman.
Cheetah's a villain.
Yeah.
Selma Blair is handing out the journal at this point.
Right.
And everyone's, extra, extra.
Everyone's reading it and immediately understanding the context and immediately understanding that she's bad.
Like, the looks that they're giving of, like, jaw dropping.
Oh my God.
better extras there's these three pale white people these like Irish kids out of nowhere
and they're just like oh no you didn't do it did you I would have loved it if it was like a 25
minute still shot of them like reading all the way through and then like last page oh my god
Sarah Michelle Geller I feel like in real life like she would have gotten over this little issue
yes I feel like it's actually not that big of a come up in really yeah not at all
No, totally. I mean, by Thanksgiving break, like, it'll have passed.
And even the dean or whatever finds their cocaine cross in the journal is like,
messy. But I mean, it's like a Graham and it's like a rich high school.
She'll be fine.
Now, suspension.
I read the Wikipedia for the plot description of the film where someone who wrote on Wikipedia added their kind of their own thing.
I love when Wikipedia takes their own spin on things.
And then it's hinted at she gets a.
expelled from school and possibly arrested
for the death of Sebastian
due to
due to her lies that started the whole thing.
It actually says due to her lies
that started the whole thing.
That's not how it's in the plot's description of.
But that's not what happened.
Not at all.
Unless like the beginning,
unless it's at the beginning of cruel intentions too
that they explain that all that happened.
But I still don't give a shit
because it's not there.
No, it's not.
And it's, yeah, and I mean, like, in Dangerous Liaison's, it's a duel that he gets killed in.
Oh, that's something.
It would make more sense of Sebastian doesn't die either if he got expelled.
You know, we have these baby stakes anyway to add this death is just like, who, you know, getting hit by a car?
Yeah.
Yeah.
In movies, I'm like, okay, so what, he's going to dust off in a second?
It's like Russell Crow at the end of LA Confidential.
I don't know.
So, like, that's, and that's the move.
Oh, no, actually, the last shot is, I don't know at what point.
Did he die in the street?
Did he make his will where he willed, Reese Witherspoon, the car, Jaguar?
He got the car, man.
I don't know.
I was asking the same question last night.
No answers to be found.
I think she stole it.
Hold on a second.
We got to watch Cruel Intentions, too.
The plot of that mentions Sebastian Valmont as being alive.
Well, no, it's a prequel.
That much I know.
It's a prequel?
Yes, it's like them.
Why call it two then?
Jesus, wait a second.
So they're even younger and they're sexy times?
Adams is playing the Sarah Michelle
Gillar role.
Oh, how you do
doing Netflix?
It was a failed TV pilot
or a couple of episodes
that kind of mashed together
as a movie.
And they added nude scenes
when they realized
it was going to go
correct the DVD.
Nice.
With different actors?
Yeah, did they colligula the situation?
I don't think Amy Adams
gets neutered or anything like that.
And there was a canceled television series
in October of 2015.
That Sarah Michelle is in.
Yeah, I think the pilot
is actually online.
somewhere, because I've heard rumblings about how
bad it is. Oh, I know what I'm
doing when I get home. And I'm like such a
Sarah Michelle Geller fan. I'm one of
those people who's like, any day now, she's
totally going to get back into acting. She's
totally going to do it. That's right.
That means the promise of Buffy at me, come on
man. I was looking at it
today. She's got some stuff coming up. I don't know what it is.
I'm sure none of it's very good, but she's got a lot
coming up. I hope, I mean, I keep
hoping, because I do think she's actually a good
actress. There's
stuff in Buffy that like
I think a lot of Buffy is elevated by the chemistry of the cast.
Yeah, big time.
I mean, because there was, there was parts of that show that.
There was a fellow times.
Yeah, there really were, but I stuck it out.
Yeah.
See, I never watched it live.
It was all, like, on a DVD watch, and I was able just kind of, like, motor through.
I've watched it, yeah, I watched it in.
I'm looking at you, The Three or whatever they are, season six with all those nerds.
I watched it the first time through, and I've also watched it, like,
three times. Yes, like
I watched it. I did
not miss an episode. I recorded
it on VHF. I had like a big
pressure trunk of like
VHS tapes. That my mom threw out
to like piss me off one time.
And I'm still very upset about it
and I think about those VHS tapes
like in some landfill somewhere.
Buffy.
See, I did the same thing with Mantis.
You're a huge mantis fan?
You're a huge mantis fan.
All 10 episodes.
That's one tape, dude.
That is one tape.
Yeah, you put that on, you're rich boy.
It was one tape.
Like TV tape, like taping TV episodes.
You get all those old commercials.
I know.
It's such a treasure trove.
I know.
I was at the University of Syracuse a few years ago and did like a talk with a class.
And they ended up asking me like, oh, what episode would you want to show and like talk about
since you like do TV criticism?
I, of course, pick a deep space nine episode far beyond our stars.
and they had like the commercials in between it.
And it was so trippy because I was like, man, the 90s.
Which DS9 episode is that?
So it's the one that takes place in the 50s
where he's like going back and like it's like season six.
Yeah, I feel like I haven't gotten that far in my watch yet,
but I've heard of this episode.
It's a really, it deals with police brutality.
Yeah.
He's like, uh, uh, captain's,
Francisco plays this
1950s
writer of science fiction
who's coming up with a story about deep
space nine. Oh, that's pretty cool.
It's really cool. And then you get to see all the characters
without their usual makeup, so it's really
fun seeing them without their alien makeup. And it's a really
moving trenchant episode of
Deep Space. Armand Shimmerman underrated
actor. He's an amazing
actor. Really amazing
he was Principal Snyder on Buffy.
Totally. Oh, yeah.
replaced Tobo, did he not?
Yes.
Wasn't Tobo originally the principal in the pilot?
He was, but he was in the pilot that he got cut.
He got replaced with this fat actor.
I think it's the other Lerner brother.
It's Michael Lerner and his brother, whatever.
David?
Maybe Ken, I don't know.
In any event, I know too much about the Lerner brothers.
I wasn't aware Michael Lerner had a brother.
Welcome back to Learning about the Lerner.
Michael Lerner, Mayor Ebert from Godzilla.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Mayor Ebert from Godzilla.
Wow.
Yeah, that was nice.
No, no, he was not in Barton Fink.
He was in Godzilla.
All right.
All right, Chris Cannon.
Well, you know when he dies, they're going to show
Clip from Godzilla and not
Bart and Fink or anything good.
I mean, yeah,
so that's this movie, man. Like, Reese Wetherspoon
is driving up to the country at the end of it
in the car. She's got the original
copy of the Byrne book, like, sitting next
to her, and she's just kind of like, cherish it forever.
With a smile that is
a little too happy for the way.
This movie's ending out.
Free car.
Yeah, she didn't really know that guy, but I got a free car.
That would have been great if the turn was like Reese Witherspoon.
Oh, that would be amazing.
She was the Phantom Menace.
Like she was like the puppeteer of the whole thing somehow.
And it was all to get this car.
It was her and Ronald together.
Oh, yes.
That would be pretty great.
That's more imagination than this movie has.
Yeah.
That is the end of this movie.
And we will start with our guests for this evening.
Angelica, would you recommend this movie to the movie going public?
I'm trying to think if it's a hangover movie
but it's boring in spots
and it's not loud but it's not that long
it's like what an hour and like
Yeah it's like 97 minutes
Yeah so it's on the short side
So no I wouldn't recommend this movie
If you're a Sarah Michelle Geller apologist like I am
Then sure dive in
Have fun swimming it, drink it up
enjoy it but otherwise this movie is racist and homophobic and boring in spots and it doesn't lean into
the campiness that it has like in like certain moments so it's not even that fun yeah so no I wouldn't
recommend this movie see I would only let it slide as the seeing is believing that's kind of
where I'm like I was taking note I've taken I took more
notes for this movie because every little thing I'm like what how would you allow that to happen
and I'm just like okay and I remember as much milder than this when the last time I watched it I was
I don't remember any of this crap and then this time I was like shocked by it so yet I think if you've
already seen it do not go back to it I don't think that's worth doing but if you've never seen this thing
you kind of need to see just to see where the country was at at the time it was hellscape everybody
1999 was a strange year
Yeah
Good year for movies
Still a Hellscape
Steve Sadek
It's a no for me
I think it just
It is a real relic of its time
To Chris's point
It's a historical artifact
But it does
It's a little too slow
For my tastes
And like all the Philippe
And Reese Witherspoon scenes
Are dead on arrival
It just
As sort of weird
And as much as I know this
to be back to forward it's not worth watching if you haven't seen the night i think yeah i mean i
it's it's a very soft recommend in terms of seeing as believing because it's such a weird
fucking thing my monocle that i usually wear fell off i was watching this movie because it's just
ridiculous it is top to bottom ridiculous it's a trash movie yeah awfully made awful awful awful everything
let me ask you this we were able to keep your fez on no i was not oh damn but there was i was i was
seated below the vent though so I mean it's kind of a no and a yes yeah I mean I have to say
I felt really old watching this oh god yeah because I mean I like I said I watched this movie a ton
it was a cable thing so I did rent it before it hit television so I was well versed in this
movie and Chris like you were saying and I think we've all kind of said like I'm watching it
I'm like my goodness yeah oh oh how could they get away with that that's in this movie
Now they're doing what?
What?
Mother.
Mother, come in here.
I was like, I could feel it happening myself.
And I was like, now you're that person.
You old piece of shit.
Yeah, let the kids have sex and murder.
You're being shocked by cruel intentions.
Because I think it's a thing where, like, when you're watching it and you're the age that these characters are supposed to be, you're like, fuck yeah.
That's living.
This is coolest shit.
Yeah, exactly.
I want a fucking Coke Crucifix.
I'm an unsexy teen.
I'd like to see what a girl looks like.
I would also like to see what a girl looks like.
Someone kiss me, please.
I'll go to Central Park.
That is Cruel Intentions from 1999, directed by the Autour, Roger Cumbull.

Let me ask you this on the Kianu front.
How are you feeling about this Bill and Ted face the music?
I'm so there.
I'm so there.
I have a suspicion that is going to be bad.
Oh, I do too.
like there's a part of me that's like
for it to be good there's
too much that you're stacked against it
impossible to live up to the hype maybe
but we'll see
it's a real just roll a number
and go to the theater man and just let
that movie happen to you
that's what I feel Bill it did face
the music and I just I hope
that it does not rear
its ugly head on this program at some point
that's my only wish is that we can watch it
and we can be like you know what
it's not an episode
yeah it would be nice
to be like, even if it's not great, just to be like, oh, that was fun.
