This week on the program, you better roll a number. It's the start of the summer blockbuster
extravaganza with Scooby-Doo, the movie. I'm Andrew Juppin.
Riven, Raydak, Sisky do, wrist-rabbing. And we rate movies.
Hello everyone, welcome to we hate movies, thank you for tuning in, and thank you for joining in,
and thank you for joining us at the very start of the 2020 summer blockbuster extravaganza.
We are here talking about the blessedly short 86-minute runtime film Scooby-Doo, the movie from 2002 directed by Raja Gosnell.
Have we got any previous episodes from this motherfucker?
I feel like there's got to be something.
A lot of them seem like stay tunes.
Oh, is this a first movie of his we've done?
I don't know.
Like, because like Big Mama's house is out there.
Oh, sure.
It's out there.
It's out there.
And I mean, there's other, if you look at the guy's filmography, it's Rick with it.
Yeah.
Oh, well, never been kissed.
That's an okay movie.
Oh, hey, Scooby-Doo, too, Monsters Lois.
Show dogs.
Oh, both Smurfs movies.
Beverly Hills Chihuahua.
I'm sorry to interrupt you, but if this movie is the monsters being leashed, I would hate to see what Unleashed is.
The Monsters Unleashed is just pornography.
It gets hornyer.
It definitely gets a lot hornier.
Ooh, the yours, mine, and ours remake, Home Alone, 3.
Oh, do you know how he got all this?
He used to be Chris Columbus's editor.
That's, yes, we've seen him, I think, yeah, I feel like I've seen it.
I think he edited Home Alone, right?
Yeah, Home Alone, Home Alone, 2.
Oh, Mrs. Doubtfire, nine months, Miracle 34th Street.
We have to keep the Donald Trump cameo in this.
Oh, wait, that's the part two.
Fuck.
Well, he did also edit that, so.
Oh, there we go.
Yeah.
Chris, we got to keep the Donald Trump.
Yeah, this is a movie
I have not revisited since the year
2002. I did see this in theaters.
Well, don't owe me. You know exactly where I'm coming from. Cabin.
It was fucking the multiplex days, man. See it for free.
Sure, I didn't see this until about a year ago.
Oh, well, good for you.
It is good for me. I make this fucking movie.
I don't think I've ever sat down and seen this movie, but I've watched
this is like a big HBO movie, you know what I mean? You're putting around the house.
I feel like I've watched like 30 minutes of this movie,
a couple times.
I bet you Warner Brothers
was putting out
the fucking streaming rights
for this title
fairly cheaply.
Like,
oh, you want to play Scooby Doo
the movie?
Yeah,
go right ahead.
$10.
I feel like I saw this
in the theater as well.
I think it was just
like a disappointed
walk to the food court
afterwards.
There was a lot of,
I used to roll up
to the theater and see
what I didn't even look
at what was playing
and I would go to the nearest
whatever time wise
and it was a bad move.
Did Taco Bell have a
Ruby Roe Ross for this?
Uh, I don't, was there a food tie in anywhere? I don't recall. It would have been awesome, but I don't recall. It does have a music video, uh, tie in, which I highly suggest everybody look for the video for Outcast's land of a million drums. Oh, is this what you, is this what you texted us? I did. Yes. I ignored that completely. Yes. It is perhaps the only time you will see Killer Mike go full Adams family value rap. Uh, it like he's just rapping about.
Scooby-Doo. Right, because he does the
it's like they took the song and they made it
in the Scooby-Doo sound track and like he's
got a verse where it's just like, Scooby's
doing this and eating Scooby Snacks
and we're going over here and solving a mystery.
Scooby-Doo's cool. Dumb question.
Killer Mike was an outcast?
No, he was just, he's from Atlanta.
But he just joined on. Okay, guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, it's the outcast song
and then he just does this other verse
about Scooby-Doo. Now, Cabin, though,
was Atlanta A Thousand Drum's just a separate
song without the Scooby-Doo stuff?
or no. No, I don't, it might have been on, they had that greatest hits record with like two new
songs and this might have been on that. The only way you could listen to this song is with that Scooby-Doo.
Yes. Okay. I would, I love to the idea of like buying like the, the complete works of outcast of being
furious that the Scooby-Doo song isn't on it. I mean, I don't think there is a complete works of
outcast, but there might be. A quick question around the horn, uh, because we're doing animation,
damnation, we're of course doing Scooby-Doo
this month as well, so we'll talk about that a little bit
there, but I'm curious about
are you guys, anybody
grew, how did, what's everybody coming to Scooby-Doo
with in terms of like, did you watch this as a kid?
Did you not? Do you hate it? You love it.
This is probably why I didn't
run out to see. I watched maybe
three episodes. Oh, wow.
Wow. Like, I really just did not
latch on to this one. Oh, yeah.
It was big in our house. I mean,
and like, I've seen like,
you know, the traditional Scooby-
do where it's like kind of what this movie is based off i've also seen the fucking gimmick
shit where they're like rolling around with the harlem globetrotters or fucking batman and robin
are hanging out like we had it on a lot i don't remember what station aired it though i mean it was
everywhere because it was just indication at that point i'm trying to think of like where these
yeah like where did these things live before like cartoon network oh okay that's a good question
because i remember cartoon network used to religiously play scooby-doo in the mornings yes uh eric you're
thoughts on Scooby-Doo?
They're negative.
All I have are negative Scooby
thoughts. I thought, I
mean, I watched it a bunch growing up.
Like, I couldn't, probably,
I've probably seen 100 episodes of the old shit,
but I couldn't really tell you
much details at all.
I mean, I was just more of
the McGillagherillagher show fan.
What the world?
I mean, I did, hey, wait, wait, wait,
hold on a second. What is that? It's a type of
guerrilla. It's a kind of gorilla. You
see him all over Hanna-Barbera properties
when they all get together. His name
is McGillagher. A McGillah is not
a type of gorilla. I don't
know this character. No, I was
correcting it because Chris Cabins just
flying through this explanation without
clarifying. Well, no, actually,
the original title for the White Apes
in Congo was McGillers.
I actually, I think I really
liked Scooby-Doo. It wasn't
something I ever was like, oh shit, Scooby-Doo's on an X time. I want to watch it, but since it was
on so much. And it is just such a blissful, especially the classic version where it's like,
you know, so formulaic and, you know, so iconic. Everybody's doing exactly the thing you expect
to do. I really enjoyed Scooby-Doo as a kid. I also loved as a kid, a pup named Scooby-Doo,
which is a little, uh, it was a younger, it was, it was them as younger people, as,
like, little kids, but it was like, self-aware a bit. And I was like, oh, this is really
smart. That's happened twice now because we did an animation
damnation on like a newer Scooby-Doo property and it was
similarly very self-aware and I think that self-awareness was
it added to the success of that cartoon. Sure.
Which I did go back and watch like a couple more of and it's totally entertaining. I don't
remember the actual name of it. Steve, what's the name of this thing?
What? What's the name of this thing? A pup named Scooby-Doo. Does he
like die? Does it the
first Scooby die at the end of this?
No, no, no, no. Because that sounds like a cancer movie.
You're right. It's a Dennis Crade movie.
They kept throwing Scooby in the river.
I mean, I think it's a natural, you know, thing for a guy like me to be attracted to that
cartoon.
You know, it's a bunch of people solving mysteries.
I love a good who done it.
A bunch of ghost stuff.
I was always fascinated in the paranormal.
And one of the fucking major four characters is a lovable stoner who loves dogs.
I mean, come on, dude.
It's right there.
It's built into my DNA.
I just had this big flashback.
They used to air this on the Cartoon Network or maybe some other local channel syndication,
like at 5 a.m. and like 6 a.m.
Oh, wow.
And I used to watch it before I got on the school bus at like,
my school bus was like 6.30 in the morning.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, me too.
But mine was soul just tried to jump out of my body.
Mine was guerrilla and bus ride.
Guerrilla and friends.
Garfield and Friends.
Garfield and Fred.
Oh.
Yeah, they did also air that earlier.
So this movie, it is the first.
Live action adaptation of this franchise.
We should also say a key thing here, I think,
as to some of the bad comedy, not for nothing,
written by James Gunn.
Yeah, I think that that's,
I mean, I think that that's why this movie is as good as it is in italics.
You know what I mean?
Like, but it's also why it's as bad as it is.
Well, and the reason why I highlighted it though,
I don't think James Gunn is a bad writer.
What clearly happened, and you can read about it a little bit,
his script was like way more adult and they wanted
go for like actually again
more of a winky winky kind of
thing which they still do a little bit in the movie
but apparently and again this is just all Tribune
Trivia who knows for sure
if this is actually true but apparently
James Gunn said somewhere that the original
cut of the movie garnered them
an R rated release. Wow and he
recycled all those ideas into slither
I think that was the idea
any slither fans out here I saw it once I kind of really
enjoyed it's not bad yeah it's okay
okay so question about
that movie. I never saw it. I was really put
off because it was always just like, I think the poster
or whatever was like, could you imagine a fat
person?
No, that's the trailer, Eric. The poster is just
a woman in a bathtub. It was the bathtub
with the little creatures and stuff, wasn't it?
You know, like, fat bath or whatever that
movie is? I was like, no.
Fat bath? You'll never survive.
The fat bath. Here comes the
title wave. You can get it in the tub,
but you can't get out.
Fat bath.
Yeah, I never said.
It's fine.
The fat bath is going to pull the plug on you.
But so, yeah, so this is this live action thing.
I have to say right up front, we start off one of the
fave things we have to point out here on this show.
The WB logo. Uh-oh, scobs taking a bite out of it.
That's cute, isn't it?
Just like McGruff the crime dog.
How did I miss that?
I feel like this movie more than any lately.
I was like checking my phone. I could not.
It's like, it's only 86 minutes.
Blissful, as you said, but it felt longer than pirates at World's End to me.
It does. It does feel like a longer 86 minutes. That's very true.
I think if we say pirates one more time, our entire audience will unsubscribe.
I think that's where we are. We've pushed them to the limit.
All right. Chirits. There you go.
Byrots, pirates.
Ririch.
Sappy.
Ririts.
Yeah, there you go.
Jack Sparrow in this adventure
What he gets up to is he falls into a fat bath
Becomes a big person
And that's horror
I'm enormous now, savvy
This cold open though
Is kind of what I just wish
The movie more was
Yes, yes
It's a way more traditional Scooby-Doo case
They're on the case of the Luna ghost
I believe
And it's a ghost in a toy factory
And I actually like the design of this ghost.
It's cool looking.
It's a Chiodo Brothers nightmare.
You know what I mean?
Like it's fun.
It's silly.
Chiodo brothers?
They did kill a cloned out of space.
Oh, I thought you're talking about the Scolari brothers.
They were tried for murder and received the chair.
But as were the Chiodo Brothers as well.
Okay.
That's good to know.
I do like the levitation of this thing and it's fun and it's cheesy.
But I mean, this cast, this cast is trash.
I will say half of this cast I think is trash
It's the married couple that's barely trying in this movie
I forgot they were married
My favorite thing in the trivia
Is that Freddie Prince didn't want to do this at first
Because he didn't think he could match
The greatness of the tone of the original cartoon
He was right
It's not Macbeth
Like it's fucking Scooby-Doo
Cabin he was right
I understand
This is Freddie Prince Jr.
He couldn't do Macbeth.
He couldn't do Fat Tub.
He couldn't do Scooby-Doo.
Well, this guy, he's been pretty much banished from acting, right?
Is that correct?
No, he's a massive voice actor now.
He's all over those Star Wars cartoon.
Oh, good for him.
He's in Star Wars Rebels.
He plays a Jedi Master on that.
I mean, that shows over now, but I don't know what he's up to later.
He's, like, found a home doing voice stuff, though.
But I think it's like Lillard and Cardlini have this kind of like,
oh, we're going to do the cartoon.
it's the cartoon come to life got it
and like Fred has a real voice
you don't know what I mean like by our good friend
Frank Welker it's like hey
hey gang how's it going like that kind of a thing
and I did it poorly there but like
you could lean into that a little bit
you did it better than Freddy does it
because he doesn't even fucking try to do it
like you definitely need that like
golly G. Willikers
yes a doofous attitude
and like the way that they make him
in this movie is like they solve this case
and everything and they're being interviewed by the press
and he's this fucking hot stud
that everybody wants to s that D
and it's like no he's a fucking goofball and askot what are you
talking about? This is also blonde erasure
they should have gotten a real arium
because that's what fucking Freddie is
it's true
like and like Daphne's also
like just kind of boring and like
they don't do anything with it. That's right people don't realize
that in Scooby-Doo mythology
Freddie escaped a Nazi
castle that was having breeding experiments
got it. Castle
Wolfenstein.
Of course.
Spent some time in Argentina and Brazil.
It's actually Castle Woffenstein, by the way.
You've got to make dog puns on this episode.
Do you know who would have done a better job?
And also a better, well, RIP, Paul Walker.
And that's a vlog?
Yes, absolutely.
You know, he would.
Hey, oh, that's cool.
Let's go get our pink slips.
Hey, gang.
Yep, totally.
Like, just toss in his like California accent,
modify it a little bit.
Definitely could have done it.
But I kind of also want a hulking brute, though, too.
just the design of all these characters
is so specific you know what I mean
that's what they try to do that a little bit Lillard
gets it is pretty damn close
Lillard no Lillard is on it dude
I will defend Matthew Lillard in both of these movies
and I think his voice acting as Shaggy is also great
but in this movie he's got it down to the fucking
physicality he's doing the goofy
fucking arms and how like Shaggy
like moves his wrist like up and down
when he walks like he gives a shit
like he actually cares
and it comes across on the screen and it's
nice and he's interesting to watch
because he cares. It is
it is a whenever he's not on screen you're like
where shaggy kind of a situation. Absolutely.
I mean so much so that like there's a
there's a brief moment in the movie
where you see so like they
they solve this mystery. Fred takes the credit for it
they get in a big fight and they'll break up in the parking
lot. I do want to be clear the first
line of this movie is Sarah Michelle Geller
complaining whilst being like
carried by this ghost that
She's got a massive wedge
because you want to think about that underwear
right in that area you guys
because that's what we're doing here.
This is horny Scooby-Doo, my friend.
It is horny Scooby-Doo.
And now that we're talking about the clothing,
can we ask what fucking time this is supposed to be?
I know, and this is where it's like,
are we adapting too literally from the cartoon
and making them 1970s?
And I know that kind of had a wave back
in the early aughts,
but it doesn't, it feels,
well,
feel out of time.
Yeah, well, you know who started that?
And correct me if I'm wrong here,
but those fucking Brady Bunch movies.
Yes.
Yeah.
That was like the start of that.
And in this, it's weird because you're right.
And it's weirder when they like sexify Daphne and Velma.
And also Fred, when they're all under like mind control.
Yeah.
Their clothing is brought into the early aughts and like they just keep the color palettes.
Yeah.
And it's nuts.
It's crazy.
It's just like make it set in the aughts or make.
It's set in the 70s, which I prefer.
That'd be cool.
Fucking shaggy on some ludes or something.
Hey, man.
I think those are getting a little expired, Scoob.
He's crawling around like the Wolf of Wall Street.
The woof of Wall Street.
Yes.
Yeah.
No, it's funny because Sarah Michelle's ass
gets way more screen time
the first like 10 minutes of this movie
than her face starts.
Absolutely.
Because this ghost is like holding her under its arm
And it's like springing all over the place
And the other three are trying to save her
And every time they cut to the ghost
And you see the ghost like from head on
Her ass is just like under her arm
It's a real hey I got kids here
And it's this weird kind of thing
Where they're trying to have it both ways
Where they're trying to do a really faithful
Let's bring a cartoon to life
Adaptation like the Flintstones movie
Right
And they're also trying to do the Brady Bunch movie
Which I'm glad you mentioned
Because that's exactly what this kind of is
like that dark ironic like we know the whole trope we're kind of making fun of it man exactly and
the beef is you know those brady bunch movies fucking lean into that this movie it it's just a half
measure and when that happens it all just gets watered down yes and that's why i wish they would
have let more of this james gun you know more adult script live in the actual final cut the thing
that i felt the the movie that i kept thinking about the most is the son of the mask
that's like that's the kind of cartoonish world
but like the action isn't necessarily cartoonish
unless you speed up parts of it which is annoying as shit
yeah well they're doing that in this movie because that's like the cartoon
and it's also the CGI which is really
which sinks this movie
I mean like a fucking stone
I remember in 2002 like sitting in the theater
watching the movie and being like Scooby doesn't look good
but it's like I guess the best that they could do
and then like you get those monsters
later in this movie, and I'm like, well, that's
definitely terrible. Like,
a dog with, like, fur and
everything, like in 2002, I get it. That's pretty
difficult. We hadn't come that far yet with animation
on computers, but this shit,
holy crap. It's 2002,
and, you know, Saboba
just finished, he rapped on Phantom Menace.
He wasn't in Attack of the Clone,
so maybe Sabooba could solve some
adventures in this. You know, you know?
You know, but a southern mystery.
Oh, my God.
Oh, yeah.
Scoob and the gang have to solve the trade dispute.
You know, in 2002, you know,
Ross just didn't have the technology to make a good rabbit lizards.
You know?
They just didn't have it.
Dude, no one would give a shit, but if there were special editions of this movie,
I'd be curious to see, like, what they would do with Scooby now.
And I should also, because we're talking about, like, you know,
how things would be better with new technology or whatever.
Has anyone seen Scoob this new thing?
No. Yes, it's fine, but I don't care.
What? And it's fully animated, right? Yes, it's fully animated.
More for children? More for children, yes.
Question to Chris Cab and the Scoob aficionado in the room.
Simon Cowell cameo? Yes, it's terrible. It's disgusting. I don't want to talk about it.
Can I ask who that is for?
That's a fucking brain teaser. Wait a bit. Let me check with my manager.
Nobody? Yeah, it's nobody. Yeah, it's nobody.
Nobody. For nobody. Okay.
I mean, Jesus Christ, just talking about, like, you have this totally fine little Scooby-Doo cartoon.
And then here's this thing that's going to date it horribly with having that asshole in it.
I mean, I guess people still watch America's got talent, right? I guess.
Yeah. Is he on that?
He's on one of them.
Okay.
Was it the X factor? That's the question. I don't know which is which.
We should probably save some of this because Scoob might be one of the only movies.
to come out in 2020.
So in January, we might be talking about.
Yeah, our January is going to be a really fucking interesting
month, man.
You're not wrong.
So this YouTube video, right?
So Asylum releases movies
that are kind of... Dude, I'll tell you,
speaking of asylum really quickly, so we're all
on the Pluto TV kick.
Here we hate movies. It is
one of the biggest mysteries of my
life right now as to how this thing
fucking exists. But here it is.
And I got to tell you, they got to
channel for that.
Yeah. And you're like, why do you
need all of that on the channel?
If you're me, you might
watch a couple of those movies.
If you're me, if you're, I like the asylum.
Not that I like them, but they're trash.
They're fun. Yeah, but it's like,
I just, I can't, I cannot abide.
And this is also why, you know, I think like 99%
of trauma is terrible. Oh, sure. Like, I can't
abide by like, we're intentionally
making a bad movie. They don't, I mean,
they think they are, but they're worse than they think it is.
So it's kind of like this weird snowball thing.
Also, it's kind of, you're not allowed to legally put on an asylum movie before 12.45 in the morning.
So there is some, there's some stuff going on there.
Steve, I think you and I have to start doing some like Instagram live, like late night.
What are we watching on Pluto TV?
A night owl show at 2 a.m.
Absolutely.
Would anybody watch that?
I bet our West Coast audience would watch that.
so they solve this mystery
you know i i will say there's a there's a kind of a funny thing where like shaggy's on a
skateboard and they're floating all around and i had to ask what is this fucking like
ska song that they have when he's he jumps on the skateboard it's immediately fucking
tony hawk pro skater yes it was so so dating it we were still in the haze of the pop punk
revolution some 41 was still out there good charlotte was still out there were they ever i mean
2002, I mean, we are in the, we've said this every time we've visited this area.
And obviously, time-wise, this is, we're in the worst timeline.
I know that.
I'm well aware.
2020 is the worst.
But culturally, 2002 was just a void.
It was a void.
It was terrible.
It was really bad.
It was really bad because, like, I don't know what could be worse than the fucking diuretic
leftovers of the 1990s.
And that's what the early 2000s is.
Yeah, it's like the leftovers of the 90s,
with that like approaching like that
George W. Bush fascism
streak and then every
single thing is like
oh you look at the houses
and they're all like painted brown
on the inside and every girl's trying to dress
like Britney Spears and I'm just
turn it into Russian bomb.
But it is I mean that's
the thing is it's not the
shitty aftertaste or diuretic
leftovers of the 90s
it's the late 90s and the late
90s were gross. That's what you got.
A lot of ribbed sweaters.
In the late 90s, you started to get all the boy bands and all culture suddenly start to feel even more manufactured than it was before.
And actually, speaking of manufactured culture, a movie that does exactly what this movie tries to do 20 times better.
And actually, whenever this movie is quote unquote saying something, it's just aping Josie and the Pussy Cats, which is a much, much better movie.
Oh, I had my fingers crossed.
That's what we were going to say.
because that movie
came out
in the time
that it's talking about
and does a great job
at just fucking
brutally making fun of all of that.
Yes, exactly. And 30% of it is
not a talking jib jab saying,
I'm ruby roo. I mean, like,
he looks like shit, doesn't he?
He looks, I mean, he looks.
He's still lovable, thank God.
He is, but like they try and give him texture
and he looks like a weird tennis ball kind of
He does. Oh, my God. You're right. He looks like a brown dog-shaped tennis ball.
And it's just not what the, I mean, like, the other one was kind of ugly. Scooby-Doo is always kind of ugly.
He had gangly like a fucking, an Adam's apple, like a fucking, I don't know.
It's amazing because we're still not there yet because I saw Call the Wild and that dog also obviously looks fake as shit.
And it's just like, can we stop with the dogs?
Get a real dog. We all love dogs. Everybody loves dog. Have a dog in a movie and don't kill it.
Put a cartoon in this.
You know, make it fucking Roger Rabbit.
I don't give a shit.
Honestly, that would be, I think, more comfortable for my eyeballs than them, like, trying, like, pushing the limit of 2001 CGI and saying, like, we're trying to make this dog as realistic as possible.
Especially when, like, call the wilds a little different because that's supposed to be a real dog.
This is a cartoon dog.
Oh, I know of this dog was it looks like a cartoon.
Just make it look like a cartoon.
But the style looked bad is the problem.
I'm sorry, I'll cut you off, Chris.
No, it's the whole, every creature, I mean, Scooby-Doo and the rabbit-lizzard things.
It's all like a fucking leisure Larry's like Halloween special.
Who's going to whip it out on this special?
It's just disgusting.
Yes, that fucker.
This was a game from the 1990s.
That's your grandparents.
It was like a jack-off game.
Pretty much.
It was like the early stages of J-O-I videos.
I'm remembering that right, right?
It was like a horny game.
Exactly. Leisure suit, Larry crawled so J.O. I could walk.
Like he was always getting in like sexy situations.
Exactly.
Very boobtacular images and stuff.
There's ways to like, you know, play the game to get girls to undress or whatever
or increase the sexuality of a situation, which would enable you to win the game, I believe.
if all the illustrated
pornography and heavy metal was too
self-serious for you, this is where
you went. Well, absolutely.
I can't jerk off to that stuff.
Guys, we're going to get together. We're going to play
leaders just do Larry on Twitch.
And our audience
will last five seconds. I guarantee it.
Hey, someone better at technology
than us out there right into the mailbag and tell us
how to do that. I'll fucking stream that shit.
They do break up.
And it is. And again, again, this is the very like,
we're hanging ahead on all of the tropes of the show where, I mean, although Fred being
Gloryhug is a new thing, to me anyway, where he's like, I'd never seen this.
I think a pub named Scooby-Doo had a little bit of that. He was a little bit overzealous,
but not to this degree.
The thing is, like, 9-11 just happened, and we needed alpha males in the movies so that people
will sign up to go to war.
That's absolutely right. No, you're right. It's that thing of like, I'm a doof, but I'm
You know what I mean?
But I have to be right at every turn, yada, yada, yada.
Yeah.
Thankfully, unlike the United States of America, Fred learns a lesson at the end of this movie.
I mean, the trouble really starts when the Pam Anderson cameo comes in.
That's when that's when I'm like, what time is it?
Yes.
Where are we?
And, you know, she's looking worse for wear in this one, too.
Well, what is the timetable here as far as VIP?
Oh, VIP.
Good question.
I got to look at Pam Anderson here on the old IMDB.
I forgot VIP. That was a TV show like Alias or something.
It was like an alias slash Charlie's Angels kind of thing.
But it was like totally syndicated.
We're far away from Barb wire. I know that much.
That was 96.
Is that is where, when's the Tommy Lee sex tape?
Early odds. Here we are. Yeah.
Is that a VIP.
VIP, 1995, 1998 to 2002. So that's like.
So this is the ending of that basically.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, she is basically like, the gag is the old man that they unmask as the ghost
is also like Pam Anderson's stalker, which is all, I guess, it's bad and whatever,
but it does not understand, justify or explain in any way.
Why she's driving the mystery mobile?
Yeah, I mean, because you got to, it's a celebrity and we love celebrity culture.
It's 2002-ish.
We fucking love that shit.
Another massive offender of that, by the way, sorry to cut you off, Eric, is those fucking
Austin Powers movies.
Yeah.
The second of which was out at this point.
Well, I was just going to point out that the old Scooby-Doo cartoon did that with, like, the Harlem Globe Trotters, et cetera.
So I guess there's precedents.
Yeah, no, yeah, I hadn't thought of that.
I don't know.
And that's definitely what Sugar Ray is doing later, which we'll get to.
Oh, my fucking Sugar Ray.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I forgot already.
It hasn't even been 24 hours since I've watched this.
They break up because Fred takes all the glory.
Velma had the great idea.
And I want to stop you real quick there.
There are teen beat magazines with Freddie on them that he is signing at this.
Oh.
Well, that's the other weird part of this.
You know, I wrote in my notes, they're famous question mark.
Yes, that's a great.
Because again, celebrity culture, man.
Oh, man, don't you want to be a celebrity?
Yeah, yeah.
It's just dumb in this.
Everything's that new, that Lifestyles of the Richem and the Famous song by Was that Good Charlotte?
That was.
Yep.
Dude, that is one of the worst songs you'll ever hear.
I mean, you complain about this teen beat thing, but like, honestly, it was kind of sweet that he signed Dylan Baker's copy.
Could you make it out to a really big fan?
Let me tell you about the dreams I have.
Oh, God.
You won't last five pages.
Yeah, so they break up.
Everybody quits.
They go their separate ways, obviously, except Shagging and Scooby.
Scooby is his ward.
And yeah, I'm sorry, but Prince Jr. is reading his lines and Geller is just doing her thing, which I mean, I think she's pretty close to good in this, but it's just sort of. I will say, I don't think she's as bad as he is. There's even a moment in the movie, though, where it's when she's fighting that fucking luchador, I believe. She definitely has a line that's straight up delivered like she's Buffy Summers. Yeah, there's no difference between the two characters. I mean, like she's a little ditsier, Velma is, but that's it.
well that's good to know because i never watched buffy now i don't have to i mean the characters
also just written terribly as compared to the other characters yeah like all the other ones
have something specific about them that they're exploring in some little way daffy really doesn't
no but she's trying to but it's written so fucking poorly because like they're they're going off
of the the format of the cartoon where it's like you know phelma's the brain uh you know
who always like would come up with the plans shaggy and scooby are doing their thing
Fred is like the muscle slash like handsomy dude and Daphne gets kidnapped.
And in this movie, they're trying to subvert that and like bring it into the 21st century by having her be like,
I was taking kung fu lessons this whole time we broke up guys and now I can defend myself.
And it's like, it's so like overwritten and then like clunkily executed in this movie that it like the whole effort is just totally washed out.
Yeah, no, for sure.
And I mean, and Velma is obviously, I mean, the weird thing about Velma, I mean, like,
I think Linda Carleone is very good in this
but there is this thing
there is this thing where like
she's as fat as Velma could be
not that Velma was ever like fat but
she was always a full figured gal
you know what I mean and they never
I just watched that episode last night
I love that episode
I didn't expect to see Velma in a mini
skirt where I could see you know
the curvature of her inner thigh
which you can in this movie
oh wait till you see the next one where
she's in latex
Chris did you watch the next one already
with this?
I did when I watched this one for the first time.
So last year?
Yeah.
But she's like small and mousy and like, you know, whatever.
But this is like she's just like this.
And again, like she turns into this bombshell by the end of the movie and it's like, I don't know.
First of all, I'm sorry, it's Linda Cardalini that's hard to cover up in the first place.
Well, of course.
Let me just put that out there.
But that's what I mean.
You could have hired a different actress possibly, you know?
Yeah, sure.
Just to get some.
I mean, like, is the point of at least Velma, you know, growing up, it's like, not everybody
It looks like Daphne. Not everybody is Daphne
kind of a thing. You're included. Yes,
exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean,
you got Shaggy, dude.
Yeah, no, you're right.
It should be enormously fat. I would love it if it was
a big fat shaggy. Because he's
eating all the time. I mean, it sends a bad
message. Like, I want to eat a fucking
six stories high sandwich,
but I look like me. I do
love that in this movie, they took the note from
Casey Kasem's original request
back in the 70s. And in
this movie, just like
when Kasem was voicing him,
Shaggy's a vegetarian. Yes, which
is kind of the next scene, which is a, this is a funny
joke, it's an adult swim joke through and through it.
There's a couple of these here where they cut,
everybody breaks up and like, what's everybody
doing a year later? And we
cut to the mystery machine and
smokes coming out of it and
reggae is playing and you're like, uh-oh, are
they? No, they're smoking meat.
Or smoking food. Yeah, oh yeah. You cannot
have that, you know,
you can't have that scene without the musical
cue of musical
views past the duchy
that's the song that's playing so you know immediately
what the joke is
which they didn't like the first cut when they
use Cypress Hills I want to get high
I mean
this movie introduces scooby
snacks as a thing
and it's just actual
dog food that even
humans ingest because they're vegetarians
and it's kind of like an anti
vegetarian joke in a way that it's just
like oh their food is like trash
and no one's actually getting high
even though there's so many allusions to it.
I mean, they should be getting high.
And apparently in Gunn's original script,
it was straight up like,
we're acknowledging marijuana,
we're saying, you know,
weed, like the smoking pot,
like the whole thing.
But I don't even mind this joke.
It's a fun...
The home movie was this where it's like,
oh, here's this sort of adult sort of idea
about how adults view the show now,
but we can still frame it for kids
so they like it.
I'm okay with it.
but yeah but so much of this movie is like spike tv guys for guy movies here's your tits yeah
it's melba but here's her tits i do love also that when we cut to the inside of the trailer and like
you see what they're doing in the van you see what they're doing scooby is wearing a bandan on his head
he looks exactly like christopher maloney and wet hot american summer and i don't know if that's
supposed to be a joke because he's like chris maloney was the cook in that movie and so like
Scooby is the one who's like cooking the food
and I was like, are they making a wet hot joke
with that? I mean, either way, it's fucking hilarious.
He looks exactly like Chris Maloney. I love it.
I think a lot of chefs do that
for the heat. I'm sure.
Yeah. It just reminded me of Maloney
instantly.
But yeah, oh, he also, there is a great, you see, Shaggy.
Like, I think you hear him
say it before you see what they're doing. He goes, talk
about toasted, which is
also great. And I love, also,
and here's when I wish
the movie was, and it's not
because you got two stoners living on a beach, you know, in California, living in their van,
solving mysteries, like some 1970s fucking neo-noir or some shit, you know, or like the PTA movie
or something.
Right. And here's probably should be happening at the same time.
I just, I wish this movie had texture and the texture is all like shiny, you know what I mean?
Like that old show, like there was, you'd go into a creaky old mansion.
And I mean, like, yeah, it was shitty, had a barbarian animation.
But like, you felt the creeks.
You know what I mean?
Like, even once they get to Spooky Island, which we'll get there,
everything looks like a fucking Nickelodeon set.
Yes.
Yes.
It definitely does, dude.
It all looks like fucking Legends of the Hidden Temple and all that shit.
And it's like, yeah, that polish really hurts it because they're at this.
Spooky Island is like this, you know, horror themed, you know, exclusive resort where there's all this like polishingy, you know, hotel room shit.
And even like the set of the castle looks like it like fake and shit.
like you're right they should just go to an actual castle like oh we all because what it happens is
they all get letters this one dude comes to shaggy and scooby and he's like hey man uh here's an
invitation to spooky island uh this dude email mondavarius needs you to come solve a mystery
and so the four of them like all wind up at the airport together and they're going to this
island and it's like i just wish it was the island from i still know what you did last summer
right speaking of freddie prince i figured that's what those letters had in them
I do think this movie reminds me more often than not
than that horrific broken lizard movie
Oh, club dread
There are people out there
Close friends included
Who will tell you that that's a great movie
And you can keep it
I like the first Super Troopers movie
Makes me laugh
But everything else since I had a really weird thing
With the Super Troopers a few years ago
Maybe like two, three years ago now
We came across it on like HBO Go or something
And I was like, wow, Super Troopers
And Chelsea had never seen it
I was like, oh, oh, oh, babe, babe, babe, you got to see this movie.
And we watch Super Trip.
First of all, unbutton your top button, because you're going to start laughing.
And, dude, I'm telling you, I watched the movie, and it was probably like the fucking 9,000th time I've seen that movie.
But the first time in probably, like, 14 years, I didn't laugh once.
Oh, really?
I was like, I think the bulb that I had for this movie inside of me, like, burned out.
that's very fair and it was just kind of like nope i'm done i showed my wife beer fest and she thought
that was very funny beer fest is actually yeah beer fest is number two for me i still think it holds up
kind of yes i thought it was okay when i saw it in the theaters i haven't seen it since it reminds me
though has anyone watched that netflix show netflix show dude there's some netflix show where it's like
it's a comedy where like two guys are running a fucking brewery or something and it looks like fucking
broken lizard reject shit oh i i can't recall the name of it but i
I was just watching it, and I'm like, how is there not a we hate movies television show at this point?
Yeah, that's what I was about to say.
You weren't fucking broken lizard dog shit or runoff or whatever.
Call us up.
We're right here.
We've been here for 10 years.
We all hate movies at gmail.com.
Right in Netflix.
Come on.
Oh, guys.
No, guys.
It's the fractured snake show.
Fractured snake.
By the way, or getting back to the movie.
No, you first of all, Chris, it cannot be fractured.
Oh, we're a fractured snake.
We're doing right wing comedy for right winners.
You will not tread on us.
Unless you're going to tread on a banana peel and then you'll slip on it.
Conservative comedy.
Conservative comedy.
Come on.
Fucking total oxymoron there.
Cabin, what were you saying?
I was just saying that it should be called fractured snake.
Before it went all alt-right.
Was it Eric that was saying something?
Yes, I was saying something.
I was about to make a brilliant opportunity.
observation about the film we're here to
talk about today. Yeah. Which is
Scooby-Doo from the year 2002.
Who directed it?
It was a Rajah Gossel. Okay, cool.
Let's just start the episode over.
So,
they're at the airport. They're all
getting together. Velma mentions
that she was designing
hydro-powered missile
defense systems for NASA.
So she's an imperialist pig.
Yeah, yeah. Totally, dude. She's working
for fucking Space Force. Oh, you guys
were really excited. You're working on
your book, huh? Well, I'm finding new ways
to track and murder Muslims.
Jinkies.
Jinkies, it's a drone strike on a
wedding. Jankies, I programmed an
ethnicity detector for NASA.
They said the Star Wars system would never
work. I fixed it.
Remember
Kazakhstan? Yeah, neither do I.
Jinkies.
Oh, yeah.
Thank you, Eric. That is such a weird
throwaway line in this movie
that they've never fucking explore ever
again. Well, this is the idea that you
should be using your genius
to help propel the weapons of war
of the United States. It's 2002.
It's such an extreme,
like, okay, you're using your genius for one
of two things in your life, I guess, Velma,
solving quaint mysteries
or designing weapons
of war. Can I say those quaint mysteries?
You're filling up the jails. Good job,
Velma. Totally.
You're filling up the jails with a bunch of
fucking octogenarian costume
enthusiast. That was not the ally
we thought she was. I want that article
written. Like they did about Pennywise
the clown.
Oh man. Did he get fucking slandered?
Oh yeah. He kills gay people
in the second movie. Yeah. Did you see
that yet? No, I haven't
found the seven hours. It too. It starts
with fucking Pennywise
the clown committing hate crimes for some unknown
reason. Against Xavier
Dolan? Oh, what? Xavier
Dolan's in that movie? He's the guy who gets
killed. Maybe he was hiding
from that fucking horrendous movie
he directed with John Snow.
You see that shit? He was hiding from
the fucking creditors.
What movie is this?
Oh God. It's called the life and death
of fucking somebody. I saw it
in Toronto. It's one of the worst movies I've ever
seen in my life. Jinkies.
I'm using your search history to find the
nearest mosque.
Jinkies.
Sorry.
Us that fractured snake are proud to present
this hilarious little skid about
opening a mosque
in Manhattan? Are you kidding me, folks?
What you're doing? Here it is.
What if we put missiles
in space?
I just, I wanted to find that fucking
movie because it's just so bad.
A big question, though,
when they're in the whole
airport scene still,
and so they're talking about what
they've been doing since they all broke up and whatever.
And Daphne, you know, no one
believes her when she says that she's been training
in martial arts or whatever. Does Sir Michelle
give them all the finger? Right there?
Did I see that right? No?
Yeah, I didn't. I,
counselor, I cannot recall.
Gotcha. I thought I saw some bird flippage
there really quickly. By the way, the name of that
piece of shit movie is the death and
life of John F. Donovan.
It's Kit Harrington, Natalie
Portman, that fucking Jacob
Tremblay, Susan
Sarandon, Kathy Bates. It's
trash. It's a total trash.
Jesus shit, Jacob Tremblay.
Disgusting shit boy, Jacob Tremblay.
You know what?
I'm not a fan of Jacob Tremblay,
although I think I really enjoy,
for that reason, I really enjoy Dr. Sleep,
and I'll say no more.
Oh, my God, Steve.
It is actually one of the funniest moments in cinema.
Supposedly, this movie was released in the U.S.
in December 13th of last year,
but obviously not a lot of places.
It's been a year since.
Game of Thrones ended and I cannot imagine
a circumstance in which I would
voluntarily watch Kid Harrington.
I just, I can't imagine it. I cannot imagine it.
Check out Pompeii, dude.
Oh, well, actually, yeah, for this show, probably.
I do, I do look, but here's the thing.
Certain trappings in this movie I'm a sucker for,
we're getting the gang back together. Come on.
Yep.
What have we been doing for a year? I'm into that sort of thing
as well. I do like it. Apparently, though, there were
a bunch of deleted scenes where you see what they were actually
doing. And it's
like, I'm sorry, this movie's fucking
89 minutes. Tack on another three
and tell me. Just start here.
Just start here and they're old
and they hate each other.
It's been 10 years or something. At least.
Like maybe the start was
fucking 1980 and now it's 2002.
Or here's what it is.
Smoked. Here's what it is. Eric.
Guaranteed. We start
the movie. It's a slow
mo pseudo animated
musical montage led by a
Bob Dylan's song. And it shows you like the mystery ink gang over the years. Oh, I like that.
You know, and then like you get the whole story during the opening credits, much like that
Zach Snyder Watchman movie is what I'm referencing. Come gather around children wherever you roam.
You roam to me like a Scooby to a bone. Whoa, I shot Ray of Craig. I'm Scooby Doo.
Rerow, it's the Ray of pigs.
I will say, speaking of what Phelma's been doing, a flashback, it's her in a CIA lunchroom.
James Gendell Feeney shows up.
I hear you like to hunt terrorists.
You've got quite a flare for it.
Well, Gigi's, I sure do.
You also appear to have a flare for orange dresses.
Listen, that covertly, you can't wear orange quite as much.
You know what they could do?
They could do like the big chill, you know?
Scooby is dead because he's a dog.
Doesn't live as long.
Or Scooby killed himself.
Oh, Jesus. Yeah.
Yeah, he's the Kevin Costner of the group.
It's him putting on his collar at the beginning.
And then he just all get together for the weekend.
And they're like, oh, damn.
It would actually make sense because you could have Shaggy be the William Hurt character.
And he rolls up to the chapel where the service has already started.
And he's got like a bunch of fucking grass and pills.
in the car and stuff and he's like intoxicated at the service.
Yeah, by that.
It would play.
This is how Scoob would want me to mourn.
His eyes are bloodshot.
He's also trying to fuck Meg Tilly at the exact same time.
Oh man, I didn't even think about it.
Jeff Goldblum would be a great shaggy.
Would he?
I think he would.
I think he's got the build for it.
I think he can get himself in that zone.
I don't think he could do that voice or the physicality at all.
I believe in him.
He must be high if he's doing that so much.
Yeah, for sure.
Oh, he never does that.
So, and then Shaggy is the last to show up and they're like,
where Scooby? The dumbest joke of the movie is Scooby is dressed up like a woman,
like an old lady in a sundress.
In the year of Our Lord 2002, you try and get a dog on a plane with a fucking dress on.
You are spending a couple of days in solitary.
Absolutely.
And here's the like less annoying, funnier version of this is Shaggy has some throwaway line about like,
oh yeah they don't because he does say like they don't let dogs this big on the actual plane and so he has to say something like so he's just down in the luggage carrier in a box or whatever and then you cut down and the joke is he's getting immaculate service it's like first class dog service to scooby-doo and they have like a bad economy flight or something instead of just dressing him up like a woman like i get it like you're making a cartoon come to life but this felt more cartoonish than the actual cartoon did all that's mid-
thing is like some dude being enamored
with Scooby like, oh, my dumb.
That's he needs a, it's got to be
a fucking some like it hot old
man. He's horny for him
and he's like, well, I've got to tell you
Romer wrong. And the guy goes,
eh, nobody's perfect. And then he fucks that
dog. Yes, mile high club with
Scooby do. Oh, oh,
right? He goes to the bathroom and
the guy's like, you've been looking at me this whole
flight. He's like, Ro, I haven't.
Oh my God.
Scooby-Doo with those bedroom eyes, you dug.
Yeah, but it's him and Shaggy.
And this is a double take.
She has blonde hair.
And this movie, she's much younger than I remember her being.
I mean, I just didn't know she was acting at this point.
Isla Fisher.
And I was like, holy shit, that's Isla Fisher.
And also, holy shit, she's not wearing any clothes.
Yeah, it's crazy.
She's dressed like fucking Daisy Duke on this plane.
And it's weird because I was like, is that Isla Fisher in a movie that came out three years
before wedding crashes? Well, that's weird.
Yeah, I assume she was just
born on the set of wedding crashes
and came to life
immediately birthed.
I mean, she was great in the beach bum
and by the way, I don't know
if we said it on those episodes, but that
is the best pirate of the Caribbean movie.
Yet you're not wrong, dude.
It definitely is. You could have made
this movie that movie. That's
the adult Scooby-Doo, by the way.
You're right. Matthew McCona here
is Shaggy. He pretty much is like,
if Shaggy really got in deep with Miami
weed dealers. Instead of that, oh man, Zach Ephron, a great
Fred. Oh, that's, yeah, because he's big and hulking is what I want
in my Fred. Is he big? Well, he's got, he's at least like,
he's fitter. Yeah, that's true. Then Freddie Prince Jr. He's not a big
dude. Freddie Prince Jr. was just like a skinny dude
that somehow ended up in movies because of my day, but also
Eric, I don't know how much clout is.
long since dead
father had to do with his fucking acting career. Let me tell you, it didn't
fucking hurt. I will say in the late 90s,
early aughts, you're talking boy bands, we liked
dudes that weighed 141 pounds soaking wet.
Yep, yep. He fit
that bill exactly.
Oh, Illa Fisher, by the way, her name
is Mary Jane. Oh, yeah, another
classic joke. She introduces the
Scooby snacks being dog food she likes to eat
because she's a vegetarian and that's
what vegetarians eat and it's just
dog food and it's not
apparently it's not like
weed anything
it's not edibles no
it's just dog food
I didn't read it so much as
a commentary on vegetarianism
one way or another I just read it as
like they're both stoners and they
get the munchies for weird things
maybe that was just me I buy that
I mean there's other ways to read it
you're eating fucking eggplant and
chocolate sauce a couple minutes before
yeah you know what man
You might as well go eat some dog food.
Give me pure Alpo at that point.
I'll eat it out of the fucking bowl.
Also, oh man, I'd fucking pay a lot of money to see that.
There is another thing that it was driving me crazy, man.
You know, the flight that they are on to Monster Island,
it is through like Monster Air.
It's all, or Spooky Island, it's spooky air, excuse me.
And so like the flight is like everyone is going to Spooky Island
and everybody is excited to do so
and we're being crazy on a flight
no thank you. No thank you
ladies and gentlemen. Where's the fucking air marshal
for this? We learned it's like a tour
it's like a spring break
kind of destination kind of
a situation. Well it's a
airline specifically for
this island. So Rowan
Atkinson not only has this
insane island that would put everybody
out of business. Even fucking
Richard Branson couldn't fucking afford this thing.
And then on top of it,
an entire airline to get you there.
I think he is supposed to be kind of
I would not want to appear in those flight logs.
I'll tell you that.
I think he's supposed to kind of be like a Richard
Branson-esque.
Like, yeah, Richard Branson.
Hey, are we going to Epstein?
Hey, are we going to Epstein's Island or spooky island
or the same island? I'm unsure.
Oh, man, either way, I'm going to be terrified.
Oh, man, Space is on this one.
That dude's always hogging the good sea.
Jinkies, this is a mystery I better not solve.
I don't want to die.
I'm going to eat an enormous sandwich.
Oh, man, that ghost looks fake as fuck.
So they fucking land.
Oh, no, it's the ghost of Vince Foster.
You got.
That's right, folks.
Fractured snake comedy.
You got Stephen Hawking here, man.
That's fucked up.
up. Oh, no. Was he on those flight logs? Really? There are pictures, too. So they land on
Spooky Island. They're greeted almost immediately by Rowan Atkinson. He's like in a little suit thing,
like welcoming people with a scary voice kind of a thing. And then he pops out and introduces
himself. I grew up. Shadowing by the way. Foreshadowing the ending. I grew up. I grew up with Mr.
Bean. And for the life of me, every time Rowan Atkinson pops up in.
anything, I perk up a little bit.
And this is the same situation here.
And he's always delightful.
And he's uniformly good, actually.
Like, you know, like he always gets the project he's in, which is usually very bad and stupid, and just leans into it.
I remember one of the biggest failures at the box office while I was working at the multiplex was Johnny English, that movie.
Yeah.
I remember specifically, like, the opening weekend of that movie at our multiplex.
there was like no one in the theater for that movie
like not a soul
that's one of those movies for a while we were like
any movie that does really well in the UK
must do well here
isn't there like fucking like four of them now
yeah there's like three or four of those movies
well I knew it was Johnny English
reborn I think was one they made more than that
there's at least three
three Johnny English movies
what are we doing well I think
I think they're wisely fucking keeping them over there
Oh, okay.
Speaking of Pluto TV, there's a new British network on there.
Oh, Johnny English Channel?
Yes.
And I watched two episodes of Mr. Bean on there the other day, and it was beyond delightful.
Oh, is that right?
Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
He's nice.
He, like, went to the buffet, and he was trying to, like, you know, get up on a guy for no reason by, like, grabbing all the same food but more of it.
I was like, this is relatable.
I'm laughing already.
Wow.
Holy shit.
So, yeah, you weren't kidding.
Johnny English strikes again in 2018.
That's insane.
Wow.
For fucking British people.
Hey, Chris, could you just check in the back there?
Is there anybody out there that wants Johnny English strikes again?
Hey, boss.
Got Johnny English.
You want to check that?
No.
Okay, nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing, guys.
Sorry.
No, nobody wants.
Okay.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
It's UK bust, man.
Johnny English reborn 2011.
Eap. So yeah, he's, he's, uh, what's something Mondavarius. He's the guy that runs the, um, the island. He owns it. He brought them all
there because some things have been happening where, and you see this weird exchange where like this, and it's, it's something that gets really dropped because nobody knows what to do with it, which is like, these people are like getting, uh, these monsters are trying to act like kids. So they sound like idiots, like MTV morons. Like, yo dog, why are you stepping in my grill, son?
and, like, that's hilarious because it's 2001.
I love the, uh, the punk guy right here that gets off the plane with them.
It's a dude with, like, Liberty Spikes.
And he's going up to some woman who could have just been on like MTV Beach House.
And he's like, hey, Carol, Carol, how was the island?
It's me, Brad.
And this woman, like, fucking hip tosses this guy.
Yeah, I had no idea what was happening.
Well, that's how you're supposed, because, well, because Rowan Atkins and this whole thing is like, look, you guys just got off the plane.
and you saw all the people you were with
are very excited to come to Spooky Island
but look at the lineup of people getting ready
to leave look how weird they look
and they're all kind of like
you know not excited zombies
they could just be hung over from Spooky Island
three nights in Spooky Island
I am wearing sunglasses on that plane
and a large hooded switch
and Bill Belichick in the fourth fucking quarter
they're all being silent and courteous
there's something wrong there's just
something wrong with this
they're not acting like fucking loud
obnoxious college kids this whole time.
I will say, oh, sorry, one time
for a bachelor party, it was like 27,
we went to Montreal, and I was
very poor, so me and a couple buddies's like,
we'll take the train up.
And we did, and it's like a 14-hour train
or like a 12-hour train ride
from New York to Montreal.
We had a blast on the way back.
What my God was at the worst fucking experience
of my life going back.
You know what I mean?
And everyone's just like not in the mood.
We were all fucking mad at each other for various reasons.
It's just because that's those things, dude, like when the trip is over, sometimes it's like, okay, we're not going to talk from now all the way until like two weeks after we've gotten home.
We need fucking friend quarantine.
Steve, I've heard the rest of the story.
There was a good reason and it was singular.
Some things are not made for the year, my friend.
That's true.
Very true.
I mean, so just to give you an idea here, spooky island, the aesthetic is our real monsters.
It's monkey bone.
Oh, dude.
You're right.
We really should cross
reference the production designers
of this film and the motion picture
monkey bone.
It's exactly what Chris described, but
everything's covered in like a polyurethane
like coating.
Everything's like slick looking. It's
disgusting.
It looks like if you were making
Scooby-Doo the ride or
Scooby-Doo the fucking stage show
at Disney World. You know what I mean?
totally it looks like universal studios it looks like totally like yes everything is like nothing looks
real or lived in at all and i guess we're going for sort of but like nothing ever did so i guess
it works because their outfits don't look real or lived in there sure the fucking mystery van we see
for only a half a second in this that man should be on the plane with them that's you're totally
right eric oh you're totally right also there's your fucking answer to avoid the dumb a dog dressed up
like an old lady joke. Yeah. It's like we had to put the van in the cargo
hold and there's Scooby fucking munching on snacks
in the van during the flight. Or they're all no fucking, you know, a commuter boat
kind of a situation, you know, there's a horse that gets scared and jumps
off the side and commits suicide. Yeah, go more Zucker with
this. Like, oh, that's true. It should venture towards parody.
Hey, Raggy, I just watched a video tape, but I have seven days to rev.
jingies i think this woman used to run a horse for oh my god oh my god oh my god you guys i have just pulled
up production designer bill bows who did this movie who the year before did monkey bone oh shit dude
oh my god he also did the sequel to this movie he did fantastic four oh and i think he's got
some sort of working relationship with rajah because beverly hills chihuahua and that first
smurfs movie the second smurfs movie
Yep.
Sinister two.
Did my man, Rajah, do monkey bone?
No, that was Henry Selleck.
Okay, okay.
Oh, that's right.
That was his live action director.
Yeah, that's, yeah, yeah.
I like the idea of somebody being like,
ah, all right, big chop and cigar.
Oh, monkey, you know what's terrible?
That monkey bone.
Hire someone to make this next movie look like monkey bone.
I mean, this is a strain of post-Burt in movies.
Yes.
The main aesthetic inspiration is the music videos of the band Aqua.
I mean, you're right, Chris.
I mean, Tim Burton was a force
and it influenced future cinema.
Sort of like in the 90s,
everything was like a Tarantino clone.
Yes, for sure.
And Chris Cabin,
I just want to confirm his whole thing here
is not without evidence to back it up
because this production designer,
Bill Bowes, who worked on this movie,
also worked on the art department,
in the art department for at least
Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow
and Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes.
I am.
So what was his name again?
Bill Bowes.
Baggins?
I was waiting for it.
Bill Bowes Baggins.
They all break up here.
They're like, oh, we're all going to solve.
Like, everyone's like, I'm going to solve the mystery by myself and Shaggy.
And it's kind of fun.
Like, Shaggy is like the dopey.
And again, like, we're not, like, Matthew Lowe's really good in this movie, so there's not much to say.
But, like, he is doing this thing.
Like, oh, guys, we're all back together.
It's good.
I keep feeling bad for this character.
Like, I have an emotional investment in Shaggy.
I feel the same way.
And I was like, stop doing that, you idiot.
Exactly. He's the only one that seems halfway human out of the cast.
And Matthew Litter is giving a shit.
Exactly.
And the thing that's unfortunate is Velma has the least screen time out of all of them, I feel.
Yeah.
And so you don't get to see.
It's all the waterboarding she's doing off screen.
Yes, absolutely.
She was working two jobs during this movie.
Yeah, her and Jason Clark had a long relationship.
Jeekees, there's an asset on Spooky Island.
I got to take care of.
See you later.
Jason Clark.
Jason Clark's forehead.
Jason Clark's lower head.
Yeah.
Mark two class ran up with a fucking list of people
they need to grab next.
But yeah, you have this like brief montage
of them like breaking off to like each interview people kind of a thing.
I do love the gag of Velma
interviewing a guy.
It's like a dude in a weird like huge skull mask.
And she's like,
any weirdos running around? Yeah, it's funny. I also, we get
some Juana man in this movie. Miguel A. Nunez Jr., of course.
We know him best as the dude gets murdered in the toilet
in that Friday of the 13th movie.
Ooh, baby, hey, baby. Hey, baby. Hey,
yeah, a demon was his name, right, Chris? Yeah,
oh yeah. Love this guy. But he's playing the black guy, so he's a
voodoo doctor. Oh, boy, yeah. That's something.
A voodoo doctor
Daphne shows up
And this is kind of a fun
Kind of who's on first gag
Where he's like
Don't go to that spooky castle
And she's like
Oh so you don't want me to go to that spooky castle
Because you want me to go to that spooky castle
Laity yada yada yada yada and it's
I mean again it's I do think that
Sam Michelle Geller is good at comedy
But there's no character here
Yeah
No and I think you know
I mean obviously I don't know
Anyone's approach to a performance
But I feel like
When you're playing
The problem that you can have sometimes
when an actor is playing a, like, pre-developed property such as this.
It's like, there's that weird thing of, like,
well, everybody knows what this is supposed to be, you know?
And it sort of feels like that's like,
oh, yeah, everybody's just going to remember that other character,
you know, from the cartoon.
And I don't have to do as much legwork
because they can use their imagination or something.
So I don't have to work.
And I'm not saying that that's what Sarah Michelle Geller did.
I'm just saying it feels like,
like that, kind of. Like, I'll let the cartoon
do all the heavy lifting. Sure. Yeah, it's
like, when you play Hitler, you're like, the mustache
is doing a lot of lifting here, folks.
Just go with it. Any accent.
Eric Siska publicly
calls Bruno Gunz a fucking coward
on we hate movies.
Bruno Gans is amazing in that movie.
That was a good movie. That dude
cared.
That dude cared and fucking how's the jackbill?
Oh, he's great. And he's great to everything.
Bruno Gans was great.
So, yeah, she goes to the spooky castle. We all wind up
going to the spooky castle.
And this is like, again, like we're really doing
Scooby-Doo, right? We're full on
in a spooky castle. I think there's
the very famous bit from the show
where it's Daphne. I think this happened
more again in a pup named Scooby-Doo, which I'm fucking
oh man, this show's really
smart. Oh shit,
no one's talking to me in my own
home, but this show's really smart.
Hey guys, come look
at the genius.
Steve, are you running
a pup named Scooby
do Reddit. I will
be. You've been mentioning
it a lot. What's this about?
It's a really smart.
Are you talking
about the Shaggy line right here?
It's the gag wherein they don't want to
Scooby and Shaggy do not want to go into the
castle. But she's like, would you do it
for a Scooby snack? And like
that's kind of the gag.
Sure. Yes. Well, I do, because
this is also where Shaggy's like, no, I'm
not going into that haunted castle. Because
every time you go into a haunted castle,
there's a painting that looks at you
and a suitor armor that follows you
when you're not looking.
And that's like a successful
referencing the cartoon to me.
Yeah, for sure.
I did appreciate that line.
And Scooby falls for the Scooby Snacks.
He has to hear the line
where she's like, well,
you could stay out here alone
in the dark or whatever.
Yeah, and he gets...
Which is another.
That's a...
Shaggy has been tricked like that before.
Hey, man, I can't go inside of a castle
because then you go in there.
Everyone's looking at you, man.
Everyone's following.
me around watching my every
move man I can't go in there
oh wait is it a meth castle
I'll go in there now
oh man that painting's got ice
it's following me around the room
oh wait it's actually got it's real eyes
because it's a Scooby Doon it's a monster
or a person
Would you do it for an oxy snack?
Yeah I would
Oh man
Yeah finally a snack to ease
the pain, man. Yeah, that's
right on. Fractured snake. We get paid in
oxycott.
Rang for retinal.
So when they go in, of course, there's
like a big spooky noise, like right at the beginning
and this was from the trailer.
Boy, this does not hold up.
Is they have to like animate Matthew
Liller jumping into a cartoon's
arms right here. Yeah.
Fuck this looks. It's like
stuttery and like glitchy and shit.
Isn't the point to have a dog
so that it's a fearless killer
in the face of death, you know?
Not my dog, dude.
They should be training Scooby to sick balls.
Oh, yeah, like a little once upon time in Hollywood dog.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, this dog should be ripping flesh with those teeth.
Like Shaggy should just be like, hey, Scoob!
Then he fucking goes and it's biting some monster dick.
Did I help you?
Sam Fuller's Scooby-Doo would be something.
Oh, yeah, like white dog.
Oh, fuck.
That was Sam Fuller's Scooby-Doo.
I thought you're talking about Sam Wanamaker
because you're talking about
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
It would be there.
It would be his.
All right, guys,
you're scary, sexy stone,
Rosencrantz and Gildenstern.
That would be pretty great.
Another positive addition to this movie.
Shaggy has a Zapata mustache.
I wish.
it would be awesome if he just had a mustache for no reason in this movie
we're going through everybody winds up at the same castle obviously
yeah well we see when we're walking around the castle here once everybody's
firmly inside and you know they're like okay well let's spread out and find clues and
everything uh we see there's like a nefarious little person behind the scenes like
doing like flipping all the switches and watching them and stuff like that
and uh the guy basically like activates this
It's a haunted house, like on the...
It's kind of weird because maybe it was because I had a few scooby snacks on my own watching this movie.
I forgot that they were, like, at an amusement park.
And so I was like, oh, so now, how did they get to this haunted castle?
There was like a split, like, maybe two to three minutes where I was confused by this movie.
I'm not imagining you...
Dog food, dude.
Oh, yeah, dude.
Chow and down hard.
I just imagine you and Marty on the couch.
It's 4 o'clock in the morning.
And you just look over.
You're watching, like, the seventh hour of Pluto TV, American...
gladiators and she just looked
to go to bed. Yeah, it's
minus the dialogue. That's
kind of my every night of quarantine. I just think you've lost your mind
at this point is with you. Oh, oh sure.
Well, then that's definitely verbatim what happened.
There are so many nights though where I will be watching shit
and she'll look and be like, you asshole
and she'll just go to bed.
This castle looks like shit by the way.
It does. It does.
It doesn't. Wait, can we just
acknowledged for a second that Eric said
the castle looked bad and then said
more of a cancel
I wanted to acknowledge it
because we were going right past it
and when you spot gold on the side of the road
dude you got to pull over and point at it
thank you I mean we could use that on fractured snake
so a lot of funny
stuff happens it becomes increasingly
more dangerous this is the farting scene
that's super important right
this fucking movie man
I cannot believe a dog and a human fart off happens
I guess I can't believe it
they find like a sound stage or something
and just use it as an opportunity
to stop the movie dead so everybody can pretend
to shit their pants for 10 minutes
and the Foley work here is a little sloppy
I'll tell you what because you want mostly dry blasts
going on here
first of all we got a pro talking
and what you really want
you want like I said
dry dry blasts
but instead
stop saying dry blast
please
and then
but you get a lot of shit in your pants
wet shit noise is going on
it's super wet
and dude it's like mud puddles
getting stomped on
and I do like the dry blast thing
like mountain dew dry blast
and also
dog farts
are smelt not heard
you're sitting in a room because they don't have fucking butt cheeks
it's just the exposed asshole you're like what the fuck did you
oh man what have we gave a dog butt cheeks
how and why
I guess you like have to surgically add flesh
you wondered so much if you could you didn't think about
if you should oh no I've definitely thought about
whether or not we should give a dog surgically
against butt cheeks
it's an entire park full of dogs with asses
like human asses on dogs
Welcome to
Bork Rassic Park
That sucked
And it's worse than anything Eric's ever said
So you know what guys
Everything I say is good
That's what I keep hearing
There's one thing though
Before the farting that we have to mention
Is when the guy turns on
The Haunted House
Like all the little sets come to life and shit
And what are with these fucking wall vaginas
with tongues that Shag and Scooby
get stuck on?
What are we doing with that?
It's disgusting.
I mean, that's the thing.
Do those things die when they get hit by Sunlight 2?
Are they fucking the wall here?
Oh, some wall fucking.
I don't know about wall fucking,
but like the second this whole thing turns on,
there's all these like,
you know, oval shaped holes that open up like,
feed me, Seymour!
Oh, that makes total sense.
The rabbit lizards have glory hole.
Oh, yes.
And that's what they're doing.
Can I use those?
Can I use those? Or is like a rabbit lizard going to like suck me off or what's going to happen?
No, the rabbit lizard's taller.
So like it can fit there.
You can't get that tall.
You're not that tall.
Well, I don't know.
I could get a box.
Okay.
Maybe you get a couple phone books.
But like, you see that blonde guy over there?
This is like me at a bar.
You see that blonde guy over there with the mustache?
Yeah, he's really handsome, right?
Yeah.
Well, guess what?
One time he used an apple cart to fuck a wall.
Yeah.
it's life experience dude
you can put it out of your college application
I will say the
this all happens
they all escape yada yada yada bull bullshit
they all wind up dressing like knights
to hide from the villains
and I will say one of the few laughs
I got out of this movie
shaggy farts in this night
night costume and it sounds tinny
and I'm like that's pretty funny
that's when the Foley guy got
like staffed to attention
he got that echo right
he got the sound it was beautiful honestly
honestly it's surprising that this movie was
not nominated for an Academy Award for sound design
you were absolutely right Chris
just for that fart
but here's the thing that fucking one
tinny little squeaker
that's way funnier than the farting
marathon exactly
you got to pick one like there's
you can't have a follow up fart joke man
like once you're done with farting
you can't go back to farting
in the movie you're 100% right
They should have just done the night suit.
I mean, I was screaming.
It was like that Simpsons where Mr. Burns goes on the Larry Rude radio show, whatever it is.
It's Michael McKeon.
And he's screaming, won't somebody stop the farting?
Because, like, Michael McKeon keeps pressing the button to make the fart noises.
And I was like, yeah, exactly.
Someone please stop the farting.
I remember saying that the same thing when I was watching heavyweights.
Oh, they also discovered these weird trainers.
videos that starts with this woman being like welcome to america and i was like are we doing
some sort of weird immigration joke with this it's 2002 wouldn't put it past it but yeah it's sort of like
that's the weird thing that gets dropped is like the idea is like these monsters are going to take
over the world by posing as young sexy teens and they have to act the part kind of a thing
right that's sort of something i guess that's the idea but what is the like the final plan here are
Is it a world domination situation?
Yeah.
I think Rowan Atkinson wants to be a god.
He sucks from the soul bowl.
And I think that's what he wants to do.
I think he wants to rule over the world.
Gotcha.
He's got an airplane already.
He could do it.
Well, it's like the demons that are these rabbit lizards, their own soul inhabits a human body.
And we saw a bunch of them, I guess, going to the, I don't know, where a name a place on
Earth, America, whatever.
I'm just trying to suss out the plot of this movie here
because it's like these demons live under the island
and I guess they're actually real
and they displace human souls
that go into some type of vat of souls
which you alluded to Chris.
Yes, I did.
And the first, we see the first rabbit lizard
when they trick Scooby with the ramburgers.
Yes.
Oh, it's like here's a bag full of free hamburgers.
This is another throwaway scene in an 86-minute movie, which should have any, but whatever.
I'll eat a ramburger.
You ground up a ramburger.
I would 100% eat a ramburger.
It's also, by the way, call back to vampires.
It's a sack of ramburgers.
It is.
Yeah, exactly.
That's what they do in television and movies.
They give you a bag of hamburgers and say, figure it the fuck out.
Well, that's the thing is, it's just like everything else in movies.
It's not as good in real life.
You're not going to get a giant bag of hamburgers just anywhere.
Like, can you imagine, like, just last Saturday, I went to a Wendy's.
We went, we did a drive-through Wendy's, we ate in the parking lot.
It was fucking awesome.
But the whole time I'm sitting there, I only have one spicy chicken sandwich when I could
have a sack full of spicy chicken sandwiches.
Well, you don't make you as many as you want, dude.
You just tell them what to do.
Yeah, I'll have 25, put them in a sack.
Yeah, five spicy chicken sandwiches.
Do not put them in a wrapper.
Just dump them all naked into a sack.
That's just what I want.
I'll have the sack meal.
Sack lunch, dude.
Sack lunch indeed.
Better movie than English base.
It's probably not good that the sack lunch is 10 bucks, right?
They go to this bar at the end.
Like they've sort of sussed out some clues, yada, yada, yada.
We should say that Daphne finds the Hell Racer Cube, which is kind of odd.
Oh, thank you for making that joke because I had the same fucking note, dude.
It's this weird thing.
And it's called the Damon Ritis, which is.
whatever. It's like the
McGuffin of the movie or whatever you want to call it.
But it looks so much like the Hellraiser
Cube. Right, but it's a triangle
instead. We have such wonderful
Scooby snacks to show you.
Oh my God, what a sexy group.
Guys, guys, look.
I'll even take the dog.
It would be awesome, dude, if they just stumbled in
and it was from Hellraiser 3
and it's like he's stuck in that
fucking like sculpture or whatever.
Scooby, I need you.
blood to be released from the
statue. Rokey.
I'm telling you,
the crossover potential was right there.
It's true. He is not a
set a bite at all. It's actually just
this old, this old
amusement park owner. These are ripped off
pinhead's head.
Ow, you're pulling my pins.
Those are real. Those are real.
Those are real to hold on the mask.
He's a fake guy.
They just got pinpricks all over his head, his real
head. The weird, the weird
tattooed guy does give off
a butterball vibe
Rowan Atkins' number two
Oh yes, that weird guy who's bald
He looks, yeah, he looks... Oh, I thought this dude was
Arnold Vosslu until like the last 10 minutes
of the movie. Uh, so they go back
to this bar, they're kind of sussing out clues.
Uh, Velma
is working on the Damon Ritis at, right at the
bar. Thank you again for mentioning
that. I was like, you are analyzing
something that one of your friends
stole from a secret
cavern underneath this resort.
maybe you don't do this at the hotel bar maybe that's a thing for your room just saying velma and
one uh some dude uh with this guy with a shitty goatee and the metal shirt it just comes up to
he's like hey how's it gone hey why why can't she have a dude or a lady that is fucking into her
yes it's not just like this repulsive nothing character well the weird to your point uh when she's
we're playing around because the not the joke has always been like you know well velma's a lesbian
and obviously. That's always kind of been like
the Gen X kind of post
modern criticism of the show, but like
they play with that a little bit
here before when she's like, I'm going
on a journey of self-discovery
and like you kind of know what that is.
You know what I mean? Oh, I miss that line.
But that's weird because like she has more,
the thing I thought, because I completely forgot
this movie, was I thought like it was
going to be her and Fred. That's what they
kind of set up in the beginning is that they're at odds.
And like they made a big deal.
Rasha Gosnell made this big
deal about how he wanted an actual couple
to play Fred and
Daphne. Yes, which makes no sense. It makes
no sense. They don't, they aren't together
at all. When they kiss
at the end of the movie, she's like, oh, it's disgusting
Fred, we're in public. The fuck is this?
Who cares? It's insane that
like he cast them and they
have zero chemistry together.
Are they still married?
Yeah, they're still
happily married. I am shocked.
Yeah. Well, now you've
just cursed them, dude. That's the thing.
the one who voices game
Steal the one
This is when
Oh you go
Yeah
Well this is when the guy is like
Kind of asking her about like
Mystery Ink or whatever
And she decides to give a flashback
From her point of view
And this is
It was really weird
Because we were just funny enough
Listening to Pet Sounds
Yesterday afternoon
So the Beach Boys
God only knows comes on
I was like all right
This is a little too much
Repo Man played a shrimp
Harry Dean Stanton monologue right here
But so she's telling a story
About like the mystery ink gang
And like how it used to be
And they'd solve mysteries
And oh
They had another member of the team with him
And here we are with this fucking
I have always hated Scrappy Do
Of course yeah
Scrappy Do since the fucking cartoons
He's obnoxious
I didn't mind them
Scrappy Do is like Scooby Doo
If Scooby Doo had any agency
Or characterization beyond being
dumb and afraid he's he's a troublemaker so i see why cisco likes him
i do uh i love this part um
i always had did anyone read the trivia about uh scrappy do on
i mdb absolutely not uh they approached tim curry to play mondavarius
but he found out that scrappy do is and he actually is this big
scooby do fan shockingly enough he was in another movie yes uh
and he refused to do it because scrappy do is in it and he didn't like
Scrappy 2. Hey, I'm with you, Tim Curry. Good for you, man. I thought, you know what? The
twist at the end of the movie is Scrappy Do is actually the villain. And that's where I'm like,
no, that's what I thought Tim Curry is walking from. Yeah. But so like, he's causing trouble in
the van. They're like, hey, dog, will you please fucking chill out? And this is where I mean,
you're talking highlights of cinema here, ladies and gentlemen, fucking Sarah Michelle Geller gets a
fucking golden shower
from a CGI dog. I can't believe
it. It's an actual, you see an actual
stream of piss hitting her in the chest
and this fucking movie is just
scrappy do slas fiction
fucking Daphne Piss play.
Yeah, that's a five second
clip on Pornhub.
Yep, absolutely dude. But yeah, it
is, it is weird.
It is some, some
like, a foliarist, or
not a fully, a grip had to like
spray fake piss on her while
wearing a tennis ball suit, I guess.
Just imagine I'm a dog's dick right now.
Can you imagine that?
Like, this dude, Larry or whoever is like,
I'm really sorry, Ms. Giller, I got to,
all right, you're going to get pissed on now.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
A huge Buffy fan.
I think Hush is an amazing episode.
This is going to be urine,
so just react as if I'm peeing on you.
Also, I'm a dog.
He deserves an acting credit.
at the end credits, it should say, like, dog piss played by.
Green tea.
Dog piss technician?
Yeah.
Why not?
Ms. Killer, I really just, I'm as uncomfortable as you are, but I want to get this one take.
One take.
I think we agree.
One take.
Hey, Raja, one take.
I'll be fake pissed on exactly one time in a production.
Once per production.
Would it be too much to ask for an autograph?
Oh, never bite.
I'm sorry.
Oh, it was terrible.
unprofessional of me. If Netflix
calls, they can dunk me and piss every
episode.
So we end the show.
And now as we end
every show here, we hate movies live,
Eric is dunked and piss. Good night
everybody. Splash.
Eric, in the dunk tank. Kids
want to come up and throw some balls?
Look at this, by the way,
2008 Scooby-Doo and the Goblin
King. What? Voicing
the Goblin King, Tim Curry. Oh, yeah.
A pal. Wow.
that's a cartoon
so long as scrappy do is
a dinn it
yes because that scrappy do was not
idiot
hey you know what
the dude's got standards man
I fucking
I totally appreciate
it's a weird
because also the weird thing
like it's this weird
this guy's like trying to get her drunk
it feels like it's a very weird scene
like where something gets cut out of it
because like a monster shows up
but he's like hey you want another drink babe
and she's like yeah sure okay
yeah he is like
They're kind of getting wasted.
And then, like, I don't, I don't understand what the motivation is here.
And again, maybe one too many Scooby snacks.
But, like, Fred starts giving some speech about monsters not being real.
Yes.
And he's, like, addressing the whole bar.
Yeah.
And then the monsters come in and start attacking.
And I was like, all right.
I guess never mind.
This is like, I think they're trying to do an interesting play on things there because it's like in the show,
every monster was fake, right?
And here we have real monster.
and it's not exciting.
It's not exciting.
I mean, like, I can't believe you blew your whole fucking wad
on, like, having the dude revealed at the end,
you know, in the beginning of your first mystery
that's ending as the movie starts.
Like, that's, I would not have complained
if that was just the movie.
Like, that's Scooby-Doo.
The fact that there's, like, actual paranoid,
and it's like a magical, cursed island,
much like the show lost.
Like, it's stupid.
And all these, I mean, we cannot overest,
stress how shitty these things look and like they should be and they're like they get so much
play because like there's a villain the antagonist so it's like oh
I guess it's supposed to be sort of there's sort of like gremlin-esque I would call them
kind of like they're like seven seven foot gremlins yes exactly but they look like shit
and yada yada fred and fred and velma get kidnapped here um oh my god it's a giant
gremlin it can crush me with its fucking green
Claws.
But yeah, Fred and Velma were captured.
Along with, like, they say a bunch of other
college students, Rowan Atkinson
is like ripped through the floor or some
shit. That's something.
Yeah. There's indeed
something. Velma has an actual
my glasses. Oh, right.
Yes.
Right, because that's how she's captured, like the monster
lifts her up. She does kind of a weird
thing where she's like, she's thinking
she's in the cartoon too, because she's pulling
on the fucking face trying to get the mask to come
off and she's just like stretching this monster's face. It's very awkward.
It is. It looks terrible. It's just like the worst CGI you could imagine barely moving.
I forgot. I forgot. Rowan Atkinson, when he gets pulled down, it's like the demon rabbit thing
fists him and pulls him down with the fist still in him. You're totally right, Kevin, because
I thought I was like, because like the CGI and the effects here are all like muddled and shit. I was
like, is he impaled
by a floorboard right now? I couldn't understand
what was going on, but it definitely looks like something is
like puppeting. Yes.
His legs are up and he's in
midair. Oh, no.
Mr. Bean
gets ass fucked.
I'll watch it.
Of course. So, yeah, so
Daphne and Shaggy
are still together and
they're like, oh, we got to find help.
And Daphne is
like, no, no, no, Shaggy.
Like, this time, we're going to be the ones who are rescuing our friends.
We're always getting captured.
We're going to rescue our friends.
So the first way to do that is to do a little reconnaissance walking right through the
middle of a Sugar Ray concert.
Oh, yeah, you have to go find other monsters.
I mean, yeah, that's true.
But like, a monster attacked spooky island.
And the next morning, Sugar Ray still goes on.
It's crazy.
pretty odd. I also think
it's the worst, it's the worst of all worlds because it's like late
period sugar ray. It's not even like any
of the hits. I don't know what the song is.
I don't know what that's fucking song. I mean, not
the good stuff, but the better stuff.
It's not fly or every
morning. Yeah, those are the two.
Every morning and
there's a halo hanging
on the corner of my girlfriends
for post bed. Shut the dog, babe.
Don't say a word. Yep.
Holy shit.
Yep.
Put your arms.
around the baby.
Oh, yeah.
Around the baby.
This is what we mean
when we're talking about like the 2000s,
the worst, the worst period
of human culture.
But that was like trash sugar ray from the
late 90s. This is like 2002.
What are you still doing here? I guess that's the thing
is decades bleed together, right?
Folks, so the late 90s into
I don't know, everything's still shit,
fuck it.
Late 90s forward.
It's just pure shit.
yeah exactly 99 was the pinnacle of culture that's all been down hill you know what i guess the
past wasn't any good either so you know it's fuck all human history um scooby do i do love mark
mcgrath is like serenating uh daphne right here yeah uh and she's like kind of into it or
whatever um so they do discover fred is hanging out at like a beer pong table or something and
now the whole thing is like i feel like the direction is like okay fred like now that you've been turned
this monster. You're just a bro
now. And that's the joke.
All right.
And also, Linda, I
swear to God, we're not being weird.
Your outfit is changing because
your monster self wants to show more
of its human skin.
You buy that, Linda?
Well, even if you
don't, that's what contracts are for. Now, get out there.
This
late period outfit is
nuts. Yeah, it's
kind of crazy. Oh, this is also
well so they're like racing around the island and uh some dude what is there's a dude that like jumps
at them like he's fucking night crawler that's sugar a isn't it oh is it's not is it mark mcgrath they all
turn into night crawlers they're monsters yeah oh that's right because i remember there's a
crazy shot of like the bass player making this like weird face and i was like oh man now like
the other guys in sugaray are getting close-ups that sucks i guess the idea is mark
McGrath and the other guys, the other, the sugars and the rays, they're all in this soul vat and they're, they've been replaced by these demons. Yes. Um, also replaced by a demon is Mary Jane. She's like a secret monster. It's a weird thing where like Shaggy and Scooby and her are like riding these quads trying to escape. And will Shaggy and Scooby steal these squads to get away from these dudes? And then like they pick her up and she, he,
He, like, Scooby sees her, like, demon face or whatever.
Right.
A branch hits her face, which is pretty funny.
Yeah, it sort of, like, discombobulates the monster's disguise or whatever.
And Scooby sees it.
And they kind of get into a little bit of a fight here.
This sort of, like, you know, breaks them up a little bit because Scooby's like,
hey, man, I'm pretty sure your girlfriend's a fucking crazy monster.
And, you know, he and Shaggy kind of get into it here.
This is just about the round of time.
where I'm saying this movie is too long.
Even though it's 85 minutes.
Yeah, this is getting a little tedious here.
And do you guys remember the line
that the dog has here to the human here?
No, what's that?
That he's whipped.
Yep. Oh, right.
Ripped. He's ripped.
He's ripped, Eric.
He's, yes, because, uh, because he's like,
lay off scoob or whatever. Like, she's my lady.
And he's like, you're fucking whipped.
And I'm like, thanks.
That 2002. Great.
movies for guys who like movies Scooby-Doo.
Yep, exactly. It's a fucking, that's for the Spike TV crowd, dude, right there.
We were talking about Pluto TV all over this goddamn episode. There's Spike, somehow Spike resurfaced.
Because it is all, there's multiple spike channels on there.
Yeah, it's, it's a problematic playground to be in.
My favorite line is when Scooby says, Roe for Rose.
there is a funny thing here where
Matthew Lillard is talking to Mary Jane
and he's going to go
I think he's like investigating a cave or something like that
and it's Matthew Lillard actually saying
I'll be right back which I think is kind of funny
that's a little of the scream heads on the audience for sure
yeah I was like hey look at that
and he goes in and he finds his Vat of Souls
he picks up first he picks up Fred
it's pretty funny
where Fred pretends he's
or thinks he was dosed
somebody put some of my drink last night
man you got to talk me down
I'm like all right oh right that made me
kind of laugh I'll be that was something
I think though doesn't
Velma go first because we're talking
she like has to explain to Shaggy
what's going on and she's like jinkies
I think my protoplasm
is and I'm like what are we doing
and this is
this scene right here this magical
pool or whatever
is when the movie solidifies that we
actually are dealing with paranormal
shit and I'm just like
no man
that's not the thing that I showed up to watch
I wanted these like you know
roided out gremlins to be
like some superior fucking robot
thing with a fucking person inside them
yes not actual monsters
and souls what are we shang suing
and all over the place here
but why
but why think of a good reason or a good reveal
when you can just stupid
you can always just stupid
and they often do that.
Dumb gonna dumb, dude, you're right.
But yeah, so he's like,
all right, if I pull these fucking
like shrunken head soul balls
out of this pool and let them go,
they fly back into the body of the person
they belong to is the idea.
And this is the fucked up thing
because he's pulling out these heads
and he's like, all right, there's Velma,
there's Fred, and he's looking for Daphne
and he pulls out some other girl
and he's like, the head is like,
oh, please save me or whatever.
And he's like, sorry, I'm looking for my friends
and puts this girl back in?
No, just rip them all out until the pool's empty.
It's such a weird moment in the movie.
He's like, no, no, no.
You go back to being whatever this eternal trap is.
Well, you know what?
It's your classic, like, you know, Shaggy was a stoner in his 20s.
He's now in his early 30s.
He's like, I got mine, man.
All I care about is me and my friends.
He's just giving a speech about family.
drinking Corona and barbecuing.
Well, he's Gen X, right?
He's monstrously selfish.
Yeah, he's really excited about Sebadot going back on tour.
Are they?
No, I'm kidding.
Oh, right.
So this is when we get some body switch humor.
That's kind of fun, right?
That's what you want.
Yeah, sure.
What the fuck?
Daphne goes into Fred's body.
Fred goes in Daphne's body.
Clarity ensues.
They have to go, they wind up all walking in a circle, going in a circle to
whole gang gets back together. You go, Eric.
Steve, let me, let me, let me stop you right there for a second because isn't it funny to have
like a woman with a man's voice and a man with a woman's voice? I'm slapping my dad knee
right now. It's just like it doesn't, you know, if you're switched bodies, you know, wouldn't
the voices, wouldn't you, I'm in Fred's body. I talk like Fred, fucker. And immediately, like,
they all, the sexualization will never stop because like once us, Fred's and Sarah Michelle's
body's like hey look at these fucking tits and i'm like come on he's like i can play with myself all
day okay i mean so one first of all if that happened to any of us that's exactly how we'd react
we just wouldn't publicize it in such a way well i wouldn't do it in a fucking children's movie
well that's exactly that was point two was there's there are different body swap movies in where
that way i might not tell my dog friend about it yeah exactly like yes sure uh you know i actually
a body swapped in a situation absolutely
but if I'm in a program for children
I'm not gonna be like oh shit I can't wait to
flick my fucking bead to listen to
a degree you are you are
swapping into someone you
presumably respect or whatever
are you really going to defile
their body to like such links
immediately after this transfer
Eric if you and I swap bodies
it would be less than two minutes before I look
to your penis
you know what I don't know
man we'll see
I just feel like
there should be some mutual respect
between this gang
I see there's none here
between the Scooby gang I would hope
well they're all ex-co workers
man you know
so they wind up going in a circle
and like there's this funny
gang funny
gag where everyone keeps going
into each other's bodies
do you want to know how this
originally ended by the way
gang bang no close
Stephen King Gang bang
oh we got to get that fucking
turtle to help us out, man.
We got a gang thing.
Hey, there's the turtle.
It is,
apparently,
yada, yada,
Daphne and Velma could not
switch back.
They're at each other's bodies.
And the only way they could do it,
you guys,
they got a kiss.
No,
are you fucking kidding me?
That was James Gunn's famed R-rated
cut or I don't know if they filmed it
or it was on the script.
And it was just like, is James Gunn jacking off
to his 70s?
And look, you know, I understand, like, you were sexualized by Scooby-Doo as a kid.
I understand.
I totally get it.
No, no.
You're making a movie for children.
No, you don't understand.
I'm not a pervert.
I'm not a pervert at all.
I'm just paying homage to cruel intentions.
It's not really me just wanting to look at women.
Kiss.
Yes.
No, it's just this movie I love called Cruel Attention's that isn't terrible.
And what's funny is, uh, way to give up the ghost, dude.
Like, we all know.
know what you're doing.
Exactly.
You don't have to hit it that directly on the head, man.
That's what the porno parodies are for.
And the thing is, like, I would be fine with that if the dudes also kissed, but I know if
the dudes kiss, they would write in like, ew or whatever, but like, dude, just give me
fucking full on cruel intentions, dudes making out and Scooby-Doo.
That would be, that's a way to save this idea.
I would say, prediction, Lillard was game for.
ready Prince, Jr., not so much.
Yeah, probably. That's a prediction. That's just a
prediction. I don't know.
Also guaranteed James Gunn definitely didn't write that
part of it. The
sort of last act is we're going to do a siege
on the whatever, the
cave where all these monsters
are. We get some more
exposition from Miguel and
Nunez Jr. It says, oh, there's
an ancient ritual that's going to happen tonight.
If you don't stop it, monsters are going to rule
the world for a thousand years. Again,
stakes, not what I want in a Scoopy-Doo
movie i want just oh fuck something is going creepy in this old house what's how are we going to solve
it i will just around by a ghost yeah i mean that's what i don't understand this happens so much
with television properties that are brought into motion picture life from this down to like they do
this in the fucking duck tales movie the duck tales show is they go on these little like pseudo high
stakes adventures here and there some of them take place in duckberg some of them
don't, whatever. But like, the movie where it's like, now there's this all powerful genie voiced by Christopher Lloyd and he's destroying the, you know, McDuck mansion and all. And you're just like, why are the stakes that high? Why are the stakes this high in this movie? Why is it always like these little TV characters that were always like solving mysteries and sleepy, quiet towns now we're tasked with saving the entire world and human race? Like, don't do that shit. The tone should be, you
get you know what you want to make this movie good what you do you fucking a get a real dog
b you get richard link later in here and you make dazed and confused but with the scooby gang
and just have a little mystery in the background because it should be something a hangout feel
like that's what i mostly what i got from the cartoons was like kind of a hang like we're hanging
out and yeah we're solving mysteries too we're mostly just hanging out we're just friends we're making
silly sandwiches okay call up link later he'll do it
it? No, I won't.
I think part of the problem, and this is
like the quintessential Hollywood thinking, is like,
oh, well, no one's going to come out to see them save
a sleepy town. They've seen that on the
cartoon forever. This is a movie.
Exactly. It's got to be big. It's a big
movie. It's a Hollywood movie.
All right. They're saving the world. Chicks are kissing.
It's all going on.
And so they wind
up going, infiltrating his
little castle or cave, wherever the fuck.
The idea is they're going to use,
a disco skull to refract
sunlight destroy all the monsters
everyone's dressing up to
fit in with the monsters
and we all noticed
Zangeef is involved in this right guys
Zangeef is just like one of the
like cave hoodlums
or whatever
Shaghy save yourself
Shaggy Go save yourself
the actor who portrayed
Zankeef in street fighter
1994
yes a problem and also a leather face
in those Texas chainsaw movies, I believe.
Oh, that's those newer ones, yeah.
Never saw those ones.
You're fine. You're totally fine for the rest of your life.
No need to do it.
Around here is like, yes, they all, they decide we're going to go in,
we're going to team back up. There is a thing
where like at the airport, Shaggy tried to get
them to do like all hands in, whoa,
kind of a thing. They refuse to do it at the airport.
They do it here. And it's followed
immediately by the absolute
worst line in the movie. There is like,
the camera
fucking tilts up
Linda Cardellini
almost like
pseudo extreme close up
right here
the world stops dead
and she goes
let's get jinky with it
and let me tell you gentlemen
it is just like that gag
on the Simpsons
if you pause it just right
you can see part of her soul
leaving her body forever
she never got it back
after she said let's get jinky with it
for money
it's so fucking
and like 2002
when was
let's get jiggy with it. Isn't that
all so old by that point? Yeah, that's like 99.
It's got to be. Because it wasn't
it on the Willenium? It was part of the
Willenium. It was. That's the things. When the Willenium
hit, time stopped for
like 10 years and it was just 1999
every year.
Oh, God.
What horror.
Millennium. Oh no, it's Robbie Williams.
I always wonder we
want to hate and I'm an under
sock as I'm in my eye.
eyes. You know way
more Robbie Williams than I do. Just that
song, man. Yeah, getting jiggy with
it. 1998.
Oh, yeah, that's for sure. Oh,
excuse me, though, it was not on Willenium.
It was on, it was the third
single from Big Willie style. Oh, of course.
That album was huge when I was in grade school.
Huge. Massively huge.
I mean, it is. Big Willie.
It's a tragedy when an actress has to do that,
say a line like that. And that's the kind of thing that
leads you to have to play the wife of a character
played by Jeremy Renner.
It is a funny thing.
Thank you, Chris,
because I was going to bring this up.
She took, like, three years away from acting.
I mean, she probably made small stuff.
She came back as the mom to end all moms.
She's like, mom and all over the place now.
She's like, 35.
It's like, it's kind of silly.
She, I mean, she's great on that Dead to Me show on Netflix.
We haven't started the second season.
I mean, don't even say, but freaks and geeks is the best.
Oh, sure.
Oh, yeah, sure.
I mean, well, she was, she was great.
Yeah.
She was like a teenager
Beat, beat, beat, and now she's mom
She's in her 40s now, I think
Yeah, I mean, she's turning 50 this year
Turning 50, wow, I didn't know that
Or did I do that math right?
No, sorry, she's turning 45
Okay, 45 years of age
But also, isn't she a wife in Brokeback Mountain?
No, that's Anne Hathaway.
Who is she in Brokeback Mountain then?
I don't think she's in Brooklyn.
She's 100% in Brokeback Mountain.
Okay, she played the marriage.
She played the mountain.
Oh, of course.
Randy Quaid's daughter?
No.
Or maybe she was like one of the people that was like trying to hit on somebody.
I haven't too broke back in a long time.
Maybe she's one of the wives.
But I always thought it was Ann Hathaway and Michelle Williams.
Yeah, those are the two wives.
I don't know.
Oh, you know what?
She might be David Harbor and Jake Gyllenhaal are about to fuck in that movie.
And Dave Harbor has a wife.
I think that might be her.
Got it.
Oh, okay.
Wow.
This is just reminding me like I really need to revisit that movie.
I remember really liking it.
Yeah, I haven't seen it in ages.
She's kind of a bummer.
It's not her fault, but the storyline kind of sucks.
Her part in Madman is just kind of like a retread and not.
It's just, again, like she's totally good in it, yada, yada, yada.
She's like a teacher he doesn't fuck or something?
No, she's a woman that lives in his building that he's secretly fucking and it's just sort of like.
Oh, is that the, there's a bit of shenanigans where like she's going out the like back door in his apartment and the husband's knocking on the door.
Okay.
Yeah, I do remember that.
That's by the time he's in.
what is Don Draper's sickest
fucking cat. Oh, dude, that is a place.
That is a, that is a place I would sell my literal soul for.
Can you say, uh, getting jinky with it?
Now, Stephen, just say this right into the camera and your Madison Avenue apartment will be
right for you.
Oh, dude, I'd be getting jinky with it all over the place.
Yeah, I would 100% say that line for one.
I would shit in my pants on camera and look at the camera.
Like, I jinked myself just to live in that apartment.
I would jink off on camera.
I'll say it.
Um, so.
so yeah they're like preparing to do this whole thing shaggy fucks it up because he like
puts a carabiner in the wrong spot and he goes flying he fucking falls on a dude uh who he knocks out
and like steals his uniform or whatever classic gag there he finds scooby who's we should say
scooby they are preparing to sacrifice him rowan atkinson has been like uh oh hey scooby like here's
some food for you by the way i'm gonna he says scooby do i'm going to sacrifice
you and
Scooby doesn't know what the word sacrifice
means so he's like totally on board for all this
free food. I think it's hilarious. It's
a funny gag. Ooh, recrifice.
Yeah, yeah. It's kind of like
it's a real Scooby-Dew like Homer
Simpson moment. Exactly. It made me laugh.
I mean, it's a gag.
It's a gag. Yeah.
I mean, I feel like this movie
just pained me to watch
personally. I don't think I laughed once. I was
just sitting there like Bruno
Gans in a bunker.
but so there's there's like some sort of like dance that's going on for the ritual
and they are outed because Fred fucks it up yeah
and tries to cover it with the worst like y'all forgot the next part of the dance
and he's doing the electric slide and dude my asshole closed for business
it was like clenchedown this is so embarrassing it is it's it's a jinky with it
kind of an embarrassment it really is dude but i mean the electric slide's even older you're
not at a fucking bad wedding. Come on.
It's so awful.
But so anyway, yeah, they're
trying to save him. They can't figure out what to do.
Scooby's being brought in to be sacrificed. And Shaggy
is one of the guys like holding him and he's like,
hey, Scoob, we're friends, right?
You got to trust me here. Sacrifice
is not a great word in this
context. They're going to do some bad things, man.
We got to do what we do best and get out of here.
and they try to
like run meanwhile this machine that he has
it's like a claw machine looking
thing that just steals people's souls
by impaling their chest
again a little dark for my Scooby film
honestly yeah my big note on the script
would be like don't kill Scooby do
the name the lovable character
at the title dude when he
like dies and you look at this dead dog
fucking CGI puppet it's rough man
it is a rough ride it's a slumped
over pile of cartoon and I could not
take it. Rough ride.
But so there's a bunch of shenanigans
right here, yada, yada, yada.
Rowan Atkinson like
gets hit or whatever and they're like, oh wow,
we got him and then he's like malfunctioning
and it's like, what a robot?
His chest opens and it's fucking scrappy
do there, man. And God damn
that sucks.
It just sucks.
I mean, it's just a dumb reveal.
Like, okay. I just don't care.
and as a scrappy defender,
you know, obviously I don't like the turn
for this character. Even though I don't remember the character
that one. You feel betrayed a little bit?
Yeah, but it's just like
I just feel like it's
it's, I guess they want to establish
that like someone who knew the gang is
betraying them or whatever, but I just
don't give a fuck and
well, it's just a winky thing because most people
you know, don't like Scrappy as like
oh, that guy always sucked blah blah, he ruined the show
in that like super
Gen Xie hang a hat out of it way. And that's what
I guess that sort of is.
Yeah, and it's just obnoxious because, like,
if they didn't bother with any of that flashback
stuff, or this, the,
the prologue with them, like,
breaking up after solving a more traditional
mystery, like, if they didn't bother with any
of that, you wouldn't have to acknowledge it. It should have been
a thing where, like, the fucking end of this
movie, if you absolutely have to, the end
of this movie is, like, there's a stinger,
here's Scrappy Doe, and he's fucking
doing something. You know what I mean? Like, just
putting him immediately in this movie
and making him, like, the villain of this, it's just
like, it's, it is just
too much. Yep, ladies and gentlemen.
And look, whatever. He also,
speaking of your point, Chris,
a son of the mask, he turns into a hulking
dog here. This
is dumb.
It's gross. What are you doing?
Like, this was the plan. He's harvesting all these souls
to, like, get fucking jacked
like Bain?
Oh, yes.
I set you up for it. Come on.
You gotta do it.
I don't know
It looks fucking terrible
So they knock over
Oh here's
I found it in my notes
Here is where she sounds exactly like Buffy
She is fighting that Luchador
And the Luchador like falls backwards
Over a well
And he's kind of like holding himself up precariously
And she goes
Now who's the damsel in distress
And like kicks him down the well
And I'm like that's a fucking Buffy line
Which is also it's a callback to earlier in the film
The Luchador grabs her
And he's like laughing
is like, ha, ha, ha.
A damsel in distress.
Oh, you're a damsel in distress.
Oh, yes.
You are bored of distress.
This is what is it?
So whatever.
The fucking vat spills over.
All the ghosts fly out.
The disco ball comes out,
kills all the monsters.
And I believe it's,
is it Shaggy who's like,
you're a bad puppy and rips the heart out of this thing?
No.
He rips it right out of this monster.
It's fucking crazy.
And then all these souls are like departing the island and flying all over the world.
Which means, by the way, because we've seen what happens when the soul goes back into the body,
the monster pops back out.
So they tip over this vat of like all these previous spooky island guests.
And they all fly back to wherever the owners are of the souls, right?
That means there's like this fucking epidemic of like monsters all over the world.
Especially, yeah, if it's dark, you know what I mean?
In time zones, it's probably dark somewhere else.
You know what I mean?
Oh, you got to take into a case.
count time zones, dude? Is
the next movie them, like, painstakingly
hunting them down, like fucking
like Magneto hunting Nazis
in South America? It's not.
No, they're actually, the second
movie takes place back in Coolsville.
They're solving like a local mystery
that's actually more
kind of in line with the
show, sort of.
I agree, but it's a much worse
film, if you can imagine.
What? No, I literally cannot imagine
a worst movie. My favorite part is when
Velma finds real Rowan
Atkinson and he looks like he's singing
for the flaming lips.
Oh, when they pull him out of the floor?
He looks like a fucking end of day Saddam Hussein right here.
They're fucking pulling him out of the bunker.
Speaking of bunkers.
They're going to fucking topple a statue and fucking hang him.
I wish that happened to fucking Scrappy do
in this movie, man.
Like that's the thing. Like you see Scrappy at the end of the
so that's it. I'm a legitimate head of state.
Scrappy's getting put in like some fucking squad cars.
So they're going to put this dog down?
Oh, absolutely. You have to.
You know, if you take out Scrappy, dude, you're just going to create a power vacuum that might be even worse than Scranton.
Yep. Yep, that's right, dude. It's all fun in games when you're initially pulling that statue down. But guess what?
Shaggy thinks it's mission accomplished. It is not, my friend.
Yeah, sure. Scrappy, you know, he killed like a couple dozen people in trying to perfect this possession technology.
But you know what? He kept the place together. Spooky Island was like a place you could walk around.
That's true. Yeah. You could very.
visit. It was fine.
You know, you don't go out when the sun's down,
but, you know.
So, yeah, so Rowan Atkinson is alive.
Everyone's hugging, blah, blah, blah. Scrappy goes
off. Scrappy, as
the door is shutting on the helicopter,
says, son of a bitch, and they make it
like a, it's like a swear
joke you didn't hear the swear from. Oh, right, yes.
Yeah, it's like, I'm going to, and it's a close the
door. Yeah. And it's a dumbass.
We have got a dumbass sequel set up
where, like, they're being interviewed by the press,
and Fred learns his lesson.
And he's like, actually, Velma came up with the whole plan.
You've got to ask her.
Sorry, I wish he said that.
He says, the Velmster can take it from here.
Oh, because that's a dumb thing from like earlier in the movie where she's talking about how like everyone's got nicknames or whatever.
And it's like, well, yours, if you had one, would be the Velmster.
So yeah, he puts it in use here.
And they're like, oh, do you have any comments on the mud ball ghoul in London?
Oh.
They say.
So it's like, Mystery Inc.
is back in the saddle, blah, blah, blah.
And then you have this obnoxious, like,
the movie's over. It's, like,
directed by Raja Gossano, written by James Gunn.
Q, Baja Men.
Yeah, Obaha Men. This was the second
fucking time. Man, oh, I can't
remember what we were watching, but the other day
we were watching a movie,
and a song came on,
and I said to Chelsea, I was like, is that the Baja man?
And sure enough, it was. And then
just last night, this song comes on, I was like,
was that the Baja man? And I looked up,
I was like, holy shit, two soundtracks.
in one weekend. I can't even believe
two soundtracks in the same
week. Oh, no, no, no. I remember that
totally. There's a Baja Men's song and no country for
old men. Oh, yes, of course.
Who let the dogs out, friend?
Who let them?
Who let them out?
Well, Carla Jean, I'm fixing
to do something stupid. Might have
dogs out.
Having a dream
where my father was riding on a horse
next to the Baja men
drove off into the friskillating
dusklight.
Tell my mother,
the dogs out.
I guess I'll tell you myself.
This, this dumb ass fucking,
it's not even a stinger scene because like there's two credits and it goes back to the movie.
And it's just like shaggy and Scooby,
I guess still at this resort.
Sure.
Eating hot peppers in a contest is the idea.
Yeah.
You know what?
Yeah, because that dumb and dumber,
it was like a decade ago.
We can do this.
And man,
I got to tell you when it ends,
this neon green almost
comic sands font we're using it's gross it's a rough ride it's offensive uh someone that likes fonts
that's offensive uh but that is the end of this movie uh would anybody recommend scooby do call in the
movie i would it's you know what it's a light recommend for me it's it's a time capsule for sure
of the early aughts do you need to know how terrible this is i do also feel like and i'm i could
hear them now i can imagine being a little kid when this movie came out and really loving it and
playing the fucking tape out and still finding things
that I like about it. Much like I am with like the movie The Mask
or most of early Jim Carrey. You know what I mean?
Yes. Yeah. Baby shit for babies that just gets see
that just get see there are worse things in this category, but it is just
a pale imitation of Josie the Pussycats. A light recommend for me.
And Lillard is great. I agree
that Matthew Lillard is great, but the rest of this is Quint at the
chalkboard. It's just like non
fucking stop
screeching in my ear
I hate this so much
I can't even tell you
So that's a no?
That's a big no for me
No no no qualifiers on this one
I'm not going to mitigate it
This fuck this movie
Gotcha
I'm with the Chris Cabin delegation
delegation here
I fucking hate this
This might have been one of the worst
movies I've watched for this program
I hated every single
second of what transpired on
screen. Sure, Matthew Lillard is good, but not like this. Not like this. So it's a big
no for me. I'm kind of in Camp Sadec this week, man. I definitely agree with you, Steve. If you
were born, you know, between the years like 1990 and 1996,
you might have some like childhood memories of this or whatever. And I, you know, I get it. It's
totally fine. I do think
Lillard is great and I
you know I think honestly that
that's almost enough alone for me to
just recommend it as a thing not as like
a sit down and watch the movie as
a like I'm doing something
else and I need
something yeah I want some background
whatever on because like everything else
about this is very disappointing
also credit to Linda Cardalini I do think
she is good
as Valma but just overall
I have to say though as far as what like
metric systems or like rating systems or whatever that Apple uses to sort of list stuff in
the order when you search for things. So I have an Apple TV. I do the voice search on the
remote. So I just said Scooby-Doo. The first thing that came up was, well, it was Scoob and then
this movie. And then like fucking 40 years of cartoon specials. And then the sequel was at like
the back of the list. Oh, Jesus. Yeah.
pretty shitty there
but yeah I don't know super
light recommend when you're doing
other shit I guess but that's going to do it for week
one of the 2020 we hate movies
summer blockbuster extravaganza
this was Scooby-Doo the movie directed by
Raja Gossnell
so as always here on We Hate Movies
there is another episode right around the corner
next Tuesday ready and waiting
for you and of course the summer
blockbuster extravaganza is just getting
started Steve Sadek what are we talking about
next week? Steven Somers
the mummy. Oh, this one was a long
time coming to get Brendan Fraser,
Arnold Vossloo.
Rachel Weiss, man.
Now, I feel like me remembering this movie,
it's a W-H-M. For you guys,
is it a W-L? Like, where we stand on the mummy.
I've always been an H on this, and I'm actually kind of glad
that we're quarantined right now, because I feel like people
are going to throw rocks at us in the streets for this one.
It is a popular ep,
in a popular movie. I like the movie. I watch it very,
about, like, five months ago, something like that, late 2019.
You just go to the summer's filmography, I guess.
Yeah, I was very interested.
I'm a completest there.
Well, it is summer.
The H&W, the H&L kind of are meaningless.
We've done hard target on the WHM feed, and that movie's perfect.
Yes, truly, exactly.
Yeah, I will say I'm pretty sure I've seen this movie in excess of 25 times.
Oh, wow.
No, I was, it was a DVD title.
just I really feel like it's one and done
it never connected with me I did not like it
for some reason maybe I'll be proven wrong
yeah I'm it'll be interesting I'm curious to
re-watching I'm very excited for this re-evaluation
but before we go we should mention that
all of our T public profits
now we have a merch store
if you go to our go to WHM podcast
dot com click on merch
you'll be taken to the T public store we've
decided every single dollar
we get through that this year is
being donated to Black Lives Matter
adjacent charities
and we also have a link on the website
if you don't want to do merch
which is totally understandable
and just give it to one of those charities.
Absolutely. So check out all that stuff.
We will be continuing
of course offerings this week.
We have Melro 210
coming up on Thursday. We're talking about
a ridiculous Allison-centric Melrose place episode.
And then do not forget, gang, this Friday,
if you are not a patron yet to our Patreon,
you might want to get on that patreon.com
slash we hate movies
because that's right. We are finally dropping.
What I think is the most anticipated commentary we've announced yet,
the Catsman Terry. It is in the can. It is ready to go this Friday.
Take yourself into the weekend by watching a really shitty movie with us.
So that will be on the Patreon feed.
How funny is that, by the way. We just talked about a movie about a dog and now we got the Catsman Terry.
That's true.
It's just we're getting all sorts of animals here on We Hate Movies.
And we got Melrose Place where we're talking about Billy.
He's a fucking dumb ape.
a regular barnyard, right, Chris?
Yes, indeed.
So all that to come.
So until next week when the summer blockbuster
extravaganza rolls on with Stephen Somers
The Mummy, I'm Andrew Jupin.
Reven, Radar. Eric Siskin.
Rick and Reilly.
That was a hit gum podcast.
