This week on the program, somebody stop us. It's the mask. I'm Andrew Jupping. Smoking. Steve Seda. Eric Masca. Cuban, Chris. And we hate movies.
Hello,
Hello, everyone, welcome to we hate movies.
Thank you for tuning in, as always, and thank you for catching us right.
smack dab in the middle of our summer blockbuster extravaganza. This week, we're talking about
a big one. It's the mask from 1994 directed by Chuck Russell. This guy, by the way,
this director, crazy filmography in a good way. Really? Chuck Russell, what do you got for us?
Schwarzenegger's Eraser was one that came to mind. Oh, previous episode. Yeah, let me look this guy up.
He's got some good stuff. But by the way, we are doing this in the summer right now because it's
smoking hot out there. You know what?
he did a nightmare on Elm Street three
Dream Warriors. That's right.
Freddie Kruger and the mask are almost the same
character. Yep. Almost exactly.
Both child killers. Both
noted child killers. The mask
is a little bit more creative, I would say.
Somebody stop me. I'm killing
kids. Uh-oh, I just
lit this little girl on fire.
She's smoking.
Oh, no, they're shopping me. Oh, shit.
Let me out.
Let me out. Get me out.
The 1988
Blab Remake
Bless the Child from 2000.
I was,
I was gonna say
that's an old ass episode.
Dude, I don't remember that.
I mean,
I know we did it,
but I don't remember it.
Is that the movie
with Kim Basinger?
There's like some cult
or something.
With like Christina Ricci.
I remember we were
incredibly rude
about Rufus Sewell's eye
in that episode.
I would apologize out loud there.
Some of us were
completely rude about that.
It was me.
I like him.
He's a good actor.
He is a good actor.
I'm just an asshole.
Eric,
you actually,
you don't have to worry about the release date
completists this time around because this
movie was released in July of 1994.
Oh, nice. You know what
else Chuck Russell did is a future
episode of The Scorpion King. That's correct.
Oh, God.
And a 20, guys, I got to say
quickly, a 2016
movie called I Am Rath
starring John Travolta
filmed in Columbus, Ohio.
Oh, meo, Ohio.
Oh, no, I was going to say,
I thought, because I have seen
some of these secret
recent John Travolta movies. This is not
one of them, though. I did not see this movie. Wow.
Christopher Maloney, Sam Trammell,
Rebecca DeMorne.
Wow, what a movie. Can I let
you guys know that in 16 months
Jim Carrey released Ace Ventura
The Mask, Dumb and Dumber,
and then Batman Forever.
16 months between
Ace Ventura and
Batman Forever bringing up the rear.
And he doesn't have to work again after that.
I mean, everything else is just like, I want to do this after that.
I mean, the year of 1994 was just an incredible time to be Jim Carrey.
There's no way around it.
I mean, they didn't, I guess the way, I was sort of reading, like, he only made like
$450,000 for this movie or something like that because it was greenlit and went into production
before Ace Ventura was like the surprise hit that it was.
So the production, like New Line totally dodged a bullet.
like ooh okay because then when he went on to do dumb and dumber he inked like an insane deal for that movie
and then batman forever he famously got 20 million which was one of the biggest salaries if not the
biggest at the time right right right and he just amazing 94 uh he also left um uh in living color
obviously right right right right you forget that that that really i mean his career on the sketch
show really like backed up into the movies like that i kind of forget that i was kind of anyone to see this
on uh he had tweeted some sort of black lives matter thing some fucking assholes got after him and he did
like really go above and beyond and be like yo i would not have a career if not for black people so
thanks but no thanks you know what i mean like if you oh no i didn't see that i literally my career was
made by black people because white hollywood didn't give a shit about me in the 90s and that's
totally true like he i think you watched out of an snal audition kind of a thing
Oh, is there like some famous videotape or something like that?
Something like that.
Well, he just like, he tried and it just didn't work.
Like they didn't like, I didn't like him.
Oh, I don't think that's particularly funny.
I think he's too big for them.
Yeah.
Well, now, yeah, but back when he was struggling.
I mean, even on in living color, like he was outsized.
Like that fire marshal bill is a like insane character to have on TV.
Yeah.
Oh, I see what you mean by big.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, he, that was like a Fox personality.
That was not.
Yeah.
Maybe you want to go to Fox, possibly.
I think they have some sort of sketch show over there
filled with people I don't hire until someone makes me.
I like the idea of Lord Michael's having all the videotapes
and like, it's the boulevard of broken dreams.
So this movie, of course, is one of the biggest things
from the 1990s based on a comic book.
It was a dark horse comic, Steve. Is that correct?
Yes.
Oh, yeah, baby.
May I interject that it is okay to like?
a movie and in fact
I like this movie. I like this movie too.
This movie is fine. Did someone already
send you a tweet? We haven't finished
recording the episode yet. We're recording
this days and days before it comes out
but somehow someone sent a tweet
within that first six minutes or
something we've been recording. Someone has sent a
tweet. Continuous
tweet technology. That's
Sith technology. I think you mean
Reddit. I don't think
you mean a tweet. I think you mean a Reddit
post. I will say I
saw, when I was watching this last night, I was like, oh, I've seen this movie a thousand times, one, literally one thousand times. But I don't, I don't think it holds up terribly well. And not in any kind of like big quote unquote problematic way. It's just, it's kind of a mess. I feel like this movie actually holds up better than other Jim Carrey movies of the same era. I mean, probably because there's problematic elements in, you know, Ace Ventura. And I remember Dumbra being pretty good.
Gets up pretty clean, if I remember.
I mean, it's been a while, so please don't be like,
and what about the seed where?
I don't remember it.
What about the seed where he takes his shit?
What about it?
I was trying to say Ace Ventura,
and then I realized, oh, shit, I meant Ace Ventura and Ace Ventura, too.
Both of those movies are incredibly problematic for two very different reasons, but yes.
Yes, yes.
Yeah, no, I was actually kind of surprised about that, too.
I was like, oh, this kind of, this movie passes the 2020 test.
And for me, it's kind of funny.
You know what happened?
because I've seen this movie
a ton of times
ton of times but not
I think any time
post Y2K
so it had been a really long time since I saw this movie
and I think
what happened to me this afternoon rewatching it for the first time
in so long was what happened to me
I told the story recently on the show
or one of our programs
when I rewatched
Super Troopers for the first time
in so many years where I kind of just was
watching the mask like,
all right.
You know what I mean?
It just like I did get a couple of laughs here and there,
but it was really just like,
oh yeah,
you've seen this so many times.
And I just found it like totally like not really affecting me as much as I thought it would.
I mean,
I think it's very enjoyable.
I actually like all the CGI work for the most part.
And I mean,
you have the Lawrence Olivier of dog actors here.
Oh my God.
Oh, my sweet Jesus.
Look at this performance.
Oh, what is it?
Max the dog, rest in peace
clearly. But he was
really something. Oh, no, he's still alive. He's 43 years old.
Oh, nice. Oh, that's pretty
cool. Dog is celebrating his
35th birthday this week.
That's my impression
of that dog accepting his birthday
present. Jim was very good to me
on set. He petted me often.
You can see that this dog loves Jim Carrey
dude. The way he's giving him kisses here and there
throughout the whole thing. Oh, it's sweet.
It's a sweet. It's a terrific dog.
He's doing the headcock.
He's doing jumping.
He's got all the stuff.
He's got all the tricks.
When he's getting the keys from the, and he has the eye perfectly.
It's just amazing.
You read my mind, Chris.
That's exactly what I was going to point out.
It's a dog making eye contact with a fellow actor right there.
You love to see it, folks.
You actually do love to see it.
I would love a two-hander, like a waiting for Godot with two of our greatest actors,
which would be this dog and the dog from the thing.
Oh, yeah.
As Vladimir and Estragon, you know what I mean?
Like, really just dig it into the work, an all dog waiting for de Godot.
They're giving you a two-hander while they're waiting?
No, no, no, no, it's a two-handed play, you see.
It'd be a two-paw, first of all, Eric.
Waiting for dog-go, maybe?
Waiting for de go.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, there you go.
You know what was refreshing, and I guess I just haven't watched one of their movies in a while,
but just seeing that new line logo?
Yes, I had the same thing.
It was just like a, oh.
And there is something.
There is something just so, like, 90s.
I mean, there's a lot of 90s about the movie,
but I guess, like, it just, like, the,
the, uh, sort of nostalgia that could be found adjacent to this movie
was also sort of, like, flowing through my brain and through my feelings while I was watching it.
It's also the music, like, the intro music is rushing.
Like, I, I immediately keyed in and I was like, holy shit, I remember this one.
It's, it's very much, New Line had that.
They did that with Mortal Kombat as well.
You know what I mean?
They knew how to start a movie.
And I do think this movie feels like a big summer movie, doesn't it?
It just something about it.
And maybe it's like the big production design because it's very inspired by Dick Tracy and those Burton Batman movies for sure.
Yeah, definitely.
And one of my notes is Bright Gotham.
Yes.
Yes, it is a Bright Gotham.
I mean, I love the, you know, after the New Line logo, the first thing you see is just this big mat painting.
And, you know, it says Edge City.
Population Me.
Welcome to Edge City.
Oh my God, where we're almost coming all the time.
Holy chick away your car.
You have to weigh your car because by weighing your car,
you will know whether or not that human being has come soon.
Come recently, I should say.
I do love the mad painting.
And by the way, guys, there is a deleted scene I first saw it today.
It's the Vikings discovering edge.
city and burying the mask
in the chest on the beach, which
would eventually, I guess, a road
away to be in the harbor later
that is then discovered
by a hap... I guess
is a scuba guy that actually wants
to find it, but then he gets hit by a fucking pipe,
which is pretty cool. These guys are
like some, like, engineers doing
some kind of underwater construction
thing. One of the
most unintentionally funny
things in this movie is the guy
who's like the
foreman who's directing the
people to put the pipe down in the water
and he's like, yeah, yeah, drop it
just like that, drop it right now
and it just like totally
falls into the water. I think that scuba diver
is crushed by this thing. Oh, and you
pan up and Elon Musk is there
and he's like, I could have done that.
I could have found a mask.
Actually, they're all pedophiles.
They all, they touch the children.
The man who discovers a mask loves
little children. Now I'm going to name
my baby, a dumb serious.
of numbers and figures.
I thought that fucking name was the name of
the submarine he was going to make to rescue
those kids.
Oh, I've invented something very interesting.
It's called the subway.
Ever heard of it?
Yeah, we have.
Yes, I know my rocket looks like a penis.
What of it?
I do. Does his rocket
look like a wiener? Yeah.
Nice.
So they all?
I guess so. This one especially
so. I watched that
deleted scene that Eric said with the
Vikings and I kind of want even like
the prologue of like
whatever Norse village this is
where a Viking village
wearing some fucking asses
wrong guy somebody stop me
yeah
look I'm pillaging this village
and killing all of these babies
somebody stop me all these
kids are smoking
drinking need
yes swing music
for some reason
was this
Take it out specifically because of the dig against the Italians.
Well, at the end of this cut scene here, which is surprisingly long,
and you get a lot of Viking dialogue with the subtitles.
Is that right?
Wow.
They say, like, oh, this land is now cursed.
But one of the guys is like, but you discovered this new land.
Like, what shall we name it?
It's like, oh, it's cursed.
So leave it to the Italians.
And I believe that's a reference to the guy who names it America later on, right?
an italian map maker yeah some some dude actually named america or whatever americanus or i don't know
i mean obviously it was not roman era but you know mitch america yeah i remember him
america is named after our amerigo vis this this poochie an italian explorer
interesting oh yeah i love how i butchered that name i am i am married to an italian and i can't
I can't even say her name.
We cut you, and I think this is a crime.
I don't think Jolie Fisher and Amy Asbeck are allowed to be in the same movie.
Like, what the fuck are we doing, guys?
One was on wings, one was on Ellen, like two.
All you need to do is get the lady from news radio in there,
and I'll have fucking no idea what's going on.
Oh, the woman who played Beth?
Yes.
Oh, I can't think of the actresses name.
No, no, no, no.
The woman who was George Costan's assistant on Seinfeld that he sleeps with at one point.
I can't think of her name. She's so fucking funny
on news radio though. We'll have to
look that up. So anyway, Jim Carrey plays
Stanley Ipkis. He works at
the
Edge City Bank.
Real pushover kind of guy.
This is where Steve was talking. Jolie
Fisher is here as a co-worker
who I guess the idea
was like Jim Carrey's character told her
like, oh, I can get these concert tickets.
We'll go to the concert.
And then she just like totally
uses him here and is like
oh, well, my friend is coming from out of town and I can't do anything without her.
Can you get a third ticket knowing that it's sold out kind of a thing?
There are tickets to the band that he goes to see as the mask at the Copa Bongo.
Why is it that in Edge City, the only place for nightlife is the Coco Bongo?
Well, yeah, they say it's the new nightclub, but it's the only nightclub.
It's not like the old nightclub burned down all hail the new nightclub.
I guess because it's got like the swing music
that's so hot right now.
Is this movie partially responsible
for bringing that about in 1996 to 1998 and a half?
I believe so, Senator.
I think it just rode the wave a little bit.
Like it saw it going on.
Swingers is the same year, right?
No, it's 96 actually.
Oh, really?
John Favro saw the mask
went apeshit over it and wrote a script.
I would like to see the mask like failed
to leave a voice.
voicemail and it's like 35 minutes long or whatever happens in that movie.
Hello, baby.
Oh, crap.
You know, I've done that so many times.
Every time I got to, you know, I got to get something new.
Is that movie worth a damn these days?
I have not gone back to that.
I haven't seen it since like high school.
I like the den.
I feel like I rewatched it maybe five years ago and I thought it was fine.
I don't know if you need to go back to it, but.
that's that's
that checks about what I was thinking
I've been pretty indifferent about it
what we get was from the Jolie Fisher scene
is your classic Stanley Ipkis is a nice
guy and these ladies are just walking all over him
my gosh I mean I guess in this instance
that is literally what happens to
but that he's he's cheered up
instantly by his buddy Charlie
played by the late Richard Jenny
of course
and this is a weird line where he's like, oh, Stan,
don't worry about, you know, those concert tickets or whatever.
I'm going to take you on a love safari tonight.
We talked about this, Charlie.
I'm good.
I hope you enjoy yourself.
Like, if you guys were ever like, hey, Andrew,
and obviously not in our married lives,
but back in the day you were like,
dude, we're going out on a love safari.
I'd be like, you know what?
I'm going to stay home with.
some standard definition DVDs.
You know what, Charlie, I'm not going to
wear your homemade leopard print underwear.
We've talked about this many
times. Not doing it.
What is a love safari? Is that when the love
boat, like shipwrecks?
I think
he's telling him, like, we're going to go out
like hunting for some strange
game hunting kind of.
Yeah, Stanley, bring your gun.
Make sure to bring your gun
on this Love Safari tonight.
But he's interrupted.
by a 21-year-old
Cameron Diaz. It is crazy
how young she is in this movie.
Really wild. Doesn't even really like, I mean,
she looks like Cameron Diaz, but like
doesn't. It's very strange.
No. I think she's great in this movie, by the way.
She's younger than most of the cast of Nano 2 and O,
by the way. Like, she should be playing, you know what I mean?
Like, by movie rules, she should be playing somebody's
high school age daughter. Right, right.
Yeah, this is, she comes into the bank
and, like, Richard Jenny is the first one to meet her, and she's
looking to open an account.
and this is
a creptacular move from this guy
Charlie here takes off her coat
and then she's like
oh she goes over to like Jim Carrey
to like sit down and open an account or whatever
and Richard Jenny's character
smells her jacket
like a real hard face
in it with right in the middle
of your workplace
as if it was Heath Ledger to Jake Gyllenhaal man
and I'm like this is not the time nor the place sir
can we please just get on
with this. Oh, Jenny totally
ledgered her jacket, dude.
You ledgered her jacket.
I mean, she's right
there. This is a workplace problem,
Richard, Jenny. It is a really
long width. It's like he's
reveling in it for a moment.
It's totally nuts. Dude, if this guy got the mask,
forget about it. He tries to get the mask at the end.
That is a hell on earth kind of
a caligula situation.
If Charlie gets the mask.
Now the whole world is a love safari.
So she's looking to like,
open an account or whatever.
She's being very flirtatious with Stanley Ipkiss.
And then, uh-oh, she's got a secret camera in her bag.
So she's casing the joint for her boyfriend.
Of course, we meet as Dorian.
This is a problem with Dorian.
Dorian is an evil motherfucker.
But he has like an air table hockey thing in his office.
And I'm like, that's double dragon shit.
Don't be playing this.
I think he got to the office when he was like 23.
and he's like, yeah, I'll put the air table over there.
And now it's like six years later.
And he's like, I'll outgrew it a little bit.
But he's got his guards playing it while he's trying to make this fucking like big
heist to deal with Reggie Kathy.
It's kind of hilarious.
There's a, there's a funny, like the way that they introduced that air hockey table is like,
uh, they're trying to watch the video or whatever.
And it's like, guys, could you keep it down?
And just cutting to two huge henchmen playing air hockey is.
kind of a great gag. And Dorian, of course, is the actor Peter Green, who is Zed in Pulp Fiction.
I think he's, is he the bad guy in Blue Streak?
Possibly. Yes, that sounds right. The Martin Lawrence movie, I think he's...
That sounds right. Yeah. He's very big in the usual suspects, a movie that doesn't exist anymore.
It used to exist. Oh, yeah. What was his name? Redfeather bottom or something?
Redfoot, I believe.
Yeah, there we go. He's the guy who... Does he flick the
cigarette at Stephen Baldwin?
Yes, he does.
Yeah, he throws it at Stephen
Baldwin, right?
That's why I like him so much in that movie.
Get the fuck out of here.
Stephen Baldwin hears that a lot
these days.
Yeah, that's a good call.
It's kind of, I mean, he's in a different
movie is kind of the thing.
And like, I was looking at some of the IBB
tribunes, like, oh, they want a Jack Nicholson
for this. What the fuck are you talking about?
Jack Nicholson.
Oh, my, let's all be realistic here.
I mean, the funny thing is,
Dorian's character is kind of like
Jack Nicholson's character in
the Burton Batman just without turning
into the Joker, you know, I mean,
because he is a guy who's like,
you know, the head guy, you know, the number one
guy for this Nico, you know, Greek mobster
guy or whatever, and he wants to like
overtake him much the same way that
Nicholson wants to off Jack Palance in that movie.
But the entirety of their criminal enterprise
seems to be just running this
mostly legitimate club.
I don't understand that, yeah.
There's no drugs
anywhere. There's not like shipping
guns out. They're just
fucking running the club.
But in like in line with Bright Gotham,
their scheme is to rob a bank
and then I guess
launder the money through the club.
Maybe.
Like bank robbers?
That's what the, that's your whole
crime enterprise.
This is 1994, 1930.
Because he's like, hey, Reggie Kathy, once we rob this bank, we'll have more money than Nico and we'll run Nico out of town kind of a thing.
It's like, run bank robbery, huh?
I work for Nico Dillinger.
Peter Green isn't intense in the role.
But at the same time, I think this is a good introduction because this is, you know, a children's film and you have to introduce children to the very real threat of mafioso type of murders.
Sure.
Gangling slings.
Yeah, exactly. It's laying the groundwork for, when you get older, you're going to run into numerous Dorians. Don't worry about it.
The number one thing I got to have to worry about is bank robberies.
I mean, the only thing I would sort of push back on is that I don't believe this is a movie for kids.
This is a, I think, kind of a rather adult PG-13. It's just that he's playing a Looney Tune half the time, so it kind of covers it up.
That's what I mean by a mess. It's like, that's the thing is the movie doesn't know that.
some scenes are way kitty and other scenes are like oh that's a used condom in his pocket yeah there's a condom joke
i do think it's kind of kitty too and i think the idea of doing the bank robbery is like he's not doing
he's not selling drugs it's not getting too real for that uh younger audience but i think that's a
problem with carrie's movies in general is that like they are all like ace matura is also
for kids and definitely not for kids that's at the same time why are you saying that is you think
Ace Ventura is for kids because it's
like a goofy comedy. Yeah.
And he's a cartoon. Well, that, I mean,
you can have goofy adult comedy.
But also, Jim Carrey is the biggest
comedy star in the world. And, like,
you're going to take your kids to the new Jim Carrey
movie. Well, I mean, I think that that's the difference.
I think that... But you weren't
doing that with Ace Ventura.
I think probably they were. I don't know.
Who? Who? The fucking...
When that movie came out in
theaters, though, nobody knew what the fuck
that was. Nobody knew who he was.
But I think to Chris's point, kids loved it.
Whether or not it was for kids or not, it became for kids because kids loved it.
That's absolutely fine.
That's fucking silly.
He's got a silly voice.
He's talking very cute.
Therefore, it's good for kids.
But then the movie itself is somewhere in between.
Right.
But what I'm saying is it's fine that kids liked that first Ace Ventura movie, but I do not believe they made that movie thinking it was four kids and kids were going to go see it.
I'm not sure about that.
I'm not convinced about that.
I mean, kids love Dan Marino.
That's say that much.
Yes.
And all like the one-liners that like became poppy.
Like they weren't, none of them were adult oriented.
I mean, speaking from my own experience, I didn't see Ace Ventura in theaters.
I definitely saw dumb and dumber in theaters.
I didn't see this in theaters.
But this and Ace Ventura I saw on, on VHS or HBO.
I saw, I grew up with Jim Carrey, I guess what I'm.
So did I.
So it's.
in an extent it's it's four kids but the
idea of what we allow children
to see now is totally different
well yeah it's very true and also
I also love the idea Eric that you didn't see this movie in theaters
but you saw like Wings of Desire
or whatever
it was 1994 actually
Eric was busy seeing Pulp Fiction in theaters
that's actually true yeah I saw
Pulp Fiction in theaters and I did see
I saw Wings the Academy Award
winning picture from 1930
because it's 1994 30
I mean he doesn't
make like totally just like
primarily for kids movie until
Batman forever into liar liar
into Bruce Almighty. Yes.
Those are super kids movies. Yes.
Yeah. And that's the thing is that's what his appeal was
was for kids. Whether or not that was
the intent it was. And this movie
kind of skirts that because yeah, he's like a
cartoon but then also there's this
other stuff but then also like any
graphic violence is totally
turned down because somebody was like, oh kids
are going to love this fucking movie.
There's one particular scene where
I'm surprised I got past that
and didn't notice it. What?
Come on, don't tease me. When
he kills the, well, he doesn't kill
them somehow, the two auto mechanics
by shoving tailpipes out of their
assholes. Dude, first time,
first time I noticed
what was going on that. And you hear
the fucking EMT be like, get me
a proctologist, the best
in the world. They're like, whatever that line is.
And then I was like, what? And then I looked
and I was like, oh, he shoved
the fucking fuel or the, yeah,
the exhaust lines up
their assholes. On both of them.
Under different circumstances, that's a hellraiser
death. That's exactly
dude. That is a delicious
sight to show you. The
mask could totally be a centa bite.
A hundred percent. You know, just put them in
like a black leather zootsuit suit.
Thunderball!
Come and get me!
Somebody stop me. I'm ripping your
nipples off.
Somebody stop me from doing this.
Look at this. I turned into the
and I'm wearing your skin
as a jacket. Somebody stop me.
That's got a hurt.
Get it.
Oh, edge city.
I like the sound of this.
Almost coming, but never
coming for an eternity.
You know, you guys are making me think
here that, you know, we pretty great,
his pinhead, but with more of a sense of humor.
Yeah. Because he's kind of making
some jokes in those movies, but if he was
overtly hilarious, I think,
that's a better franchise the dude is a bore i just rewatched hellraiser 2 and it's just oh yeah oh were
you like me uh watching that with joe bob yeah i was yeah that movie is a fucking snooze man and then
you're like you're you're you get tricked by hellraiser 2 hellbound because you're like oh cool the
movie's over with and then it's like wait a minute doesn't hellbound imply that we're going to
hell up there's 25 minutes of the movie left that's just so hard but it's like yeah there's so much
much with that doctor and blah.
I wish they went to hell in like the first
20 minutes and stayed there. Yes.
Because that part of that movie is awesome.
But when I was watching it on last drive-in, I was like,
God damn, this movie sucks. The people that made
that movie could go to hell.
Go to hell. Go to hell.
Guess my butt. Go to hell.
He does go to his mechanic and his car.
Like, you know, it's your classic. He's just a
hapless loser. Everyone's taking
advantage of this guy. His mechanic is
like, oh, your car isn't ready.
But it's just an oil chain. It's like, oh,
you're going to need a new transmission yada yada they give them the loner which is this like crap
ass car which is fun to look at there is some great jokes in here like i just really like this movie's
script it's fun you know it's like oh no uh sign this but there's no price there will be yeah oh
that's a good line also that's when you tell that guy uh don't do anything get it off the rack right
now yeah and go fuck yourself good day i mean it's the most played out gig but when they when he says get
The loner. The loner? The loner. Yeah. I loved that. The fat guy is from Goodfellas. The guy's like, Johnny, I'm shari. I'm shari. I'm shari. Johnny Rose Beef, yeah. Yes, Johnny Rose Beef. That's right. Oh, that guy, the fatter mechanic is Johnny Rose Beef. Yeah, where he comes in with the, because Carbone comes in with something and he comes, he's the one that comes in with the new wife in the car. I'm shari. Johnny, I'm sorry. Oh, yes. Oh, you're totally right. It's in my muddish name. It's fine.
he's also not surprisingly
in Green Book as like
Fat Dom or something like that
Yeah
Oh right he's like hanging out at the house
Yeah he's one of those guys
I was trying to see if the other guy
Was in anything because he kind of looks familiar
And he's just a dude that like
Steadily works playing a character
One time on television shows
Yep that sounds about right
It's kind of really it so that's cool
So yeah they they screw him over also
So he's got to take this fucking like little lemon
to the nightclub, which
it's like, dude, park down the street,
man. Just park down
the street. It's a city. No one's
going to break your balls for walking up to the club.
Park down the street. It's real like
mom's driving you school rules.
Yeah, exactly. And
Richard Jenny has picked up to you sex workers
that they're going to go to the club with.
That's got to be the situation.
Yeah, you've paid top dollar.
Well, he's wearing a cheetah skin jacket.
You wear a cheetah skin jacket.
you're paying for sex.
Yeah, exactly. And again, nothing wrong with it, but that's just sort of the vibe you give off.
But that jacket means that there is not sex being volunteered to you pro bono.
I think they're going by Shop Girl for the night.
Considering it's 1930s, 1990s.
1930s, 1990s.
So, yeah, there's the thing of like Richard Jenny pays off the bouncer.
He and the two ladies get into the club and Stanley Ipkiss get screwed
over it's because it's kind of funny it's it's one of the only times you see him
not being the mask like try to be a little arrogant like a little cocky because he turns
around to everybody waiting on the line and does like a see you guys inside and like as
he's bragging the dude closes the velvet rope well that's the thing with stanley ipkis
anything he does he immediately has to eat shit for it yeah which is you know it's a kind
of character like i think if this movie was made in like
let's say like the early 70s or like the late 60s
you could have Jack Lemon playing Stanley I guess
I would like a lot less physical humor in that one
yeah I do love the statement from the director that I think you can see
on the Tribune trivia where I guess he said
the production was saved so much money
just due to the fact that Jim Carrey is such an amazing physical comedian
that like he was able to bend his body in so many crazy ways
that it cut down on animation costs
I buy that. I mean, there's nothing here without him, really. You know what I mean? I think Cameron Diaz is a bright spot. Peter Green. You know, and production design is great, but like it's not, it doesn't, this movie doesn't work unless he's anywhere near it. It's very true. I mean, the physical comedy is amazing. And I guess maybe the 90s were the second renaissance of that with like Tommy Boy and stuff. But we really haven't seen anything like it in a while, have we? Long time. Of like hardcore physical comedy like that. I, you know, point me in the direction, folks, because I don't know where that's at these.
days. I would love to check it out. Yeah. So he, you know, gets tossed back out in the street. There's, of course, a gag where a car is going to drive by and soak him. And as he's soaking wet with, you know, mud water or whatever, Cameron Diaz comes up to the club. I do love the thing of the guy being like, like the valet is like, oh, sir, here's your car. And it's the piece of shit. And he's like, oh, that's not my car. And the guy's just like, well, the tickets match. Okay, I'll take it, but I don't like it.
And this is when Cameron Diaz comes out of her car dressed like
Beetlejuice, like sexy Beetlejuice.
Yep, totally.
Chelsea said that we were watching it.
She's like, she looks like she's about to pick up a shifted footlock.
But it is, it's so, it's so a Beetlejuice costume right here.
It's nuts.
She kind of is dressed ridiculously in this movie almost throughout.
Yes.
Well, because you're going to, what do you call it there?
Not a showgirl, but a.
Yeah.
A mall?
Kind of sort of, yeah.
A singer.
A singer at a nightclub is what I mean.
But yeah, yeah.
So she wears big crazy outfits, but they're really big and they're really crazy.
It's wild.
So they like kind of everything and then he's like, all right, well, I'll take my car and
humiliate myself elsewhere.
And the car, I think this is the universe telling this guy to fucking end it all right here because
the car breaks down like right on a bridge, there's nobody around like, is your Christmas
angel going to come down for you Stanley
I don't know man why don't you give it a shot
but yeah he sees and you know he's a good
guy he sees a bunch of crap floating in the river and he assumes it's
a body and this is how he
comes upon the mask I want to
say and you know I don't know if you guys noticed this and
you know no need to go back to the videotape but I could
have sworn when you're seeing
when you're supposed to see what Stanley is
seeing right here like in the shooting down
into the river did they
actually have a person there
and then also like with some stuff around
it and then when he gets down there it's actually just
a bunch of garbage. This is said just like a person
who would jump in this water.
I did not notice
but when he does find the mask
it is like there's kind of like
a wire barrel there like they're trying
to make it look like a humanoid.
Stop what you're doing pedophile.
I'm going to get that. Don't stop what you're doing.
Yes it is I
Elon Musk's savior of
all lost people's and accuser of pedophilia.
Thank you, Andrew.
I had no idea what was happening.
It took me a second, too, and then I was like,
all right, we got to say who that guy is.
Yeah, word to the Y.
Start that impression with,
I'm Elon Musk.
That would say, that's, you know,
new rule for the rest of the show.
Every impression, we will start with who we are.
He sounds kind of like Tom 6.
Oh, yeah.
It's kind of the same voice there.
I, Elon Musk, the sorrow of Mordavia,
the scourge of Carpathia.
The ruiner of Grimesh's life.
Sitting on a throne of blood and also a bunch of old hard drives
because I'm a computer nerd as well.
I might be into Bitcoin too. Who knows?
He finds the mask and then he goes home
and his landlady starts giving him shit.
I mean, this is why, and I'm so
glad that I do not have a landlord in
the unit. Oh, what a dream.
In the unit. You mean in the building.
In the building, yeah. Well, not the unit.
Dude, I would say you were getting an
incredibly raw deal there, Steve.
In the building, yeah. You want to have...
On premises. If you have to have, you know,
if you have to live in a building that is
like owned by a family, like, versus, like, my building is just
a management company, you know, there's nobody here
telling me to keep it down. But yeah, that, like,
they're fucking living with you.
Oof, no thanks.
Hey, you can sleep in my kitchen if you like.
Hey, Chris, remember Gus?
I do remember Gus and I remember Harry
and it was nightmares both times.
Yeah, we're reminiscing, by the way,
folks at home about our Astoria Queen's landlords.
Gus lived in the building,
but Harry didn't live in that other building.
He might as well have.
He was there all the time.
Oh, that's awful.
It's funny because Harry,
was Harry's
childhood home
and when I signed
my lease on my new place
the landlord was just like
oh you know
this is my childhood home
I was like no
fuck dude
I don't need to know that
you know if you're like a property
manager and that's your situation
that's cool you know what that's not going to do
and I feel like they throw this out there
for this reason Steve and it's not going to be effective
it's like oh if I tell these new tenants
that I grew up in this house
maybe they'll take that much more care
in it maybe they'll be that much more
precious with the, you know, the floor or something like that. That's not happening, buddy.
No, it just creeps me out, man. Better not save your fucking wonder years garbage memories for
somebody else. Better not sell that to me. I'm going to wreck it if you tell me shit like that.
Yeah, totally, dude. Chris Kevin will shit on your childhood.
Those hardwood floors. Was this your, uh, was this your bedroom where you jerked off for the first
time? Cool. Awesome. 60 year old man. It's really nice that I now know that. That is the other part
of it. Is it not? It's like, oh, yeah, your first sexual experience?
Oh, right in that closet, huh? Great.
Oh, and the lingerie catalog is still here.
Great. Fantastic. Oh, good.
Like, he wasn't the best landlord, but my best landlord was a guy named Vagelis, which it's just like, you...
What? You had a landlord named Vagasil?
Vagelis. It sounded like that synth band that did some tracks for Blade Runner.
Doug about the Scourge of Moldavia. Yeah.
He was an older Greek gentleman. He was very nice.
He was cool with you, though.
Yeah, his brother was a piece of shit.
His brother, when I was moving out of the place,
his brother, like, we were, like, tossing a bunch of shit out, you know, like you do.
Was his name a Cochalus?
His name was George, so I don't know what the disconnect there was.
But it was his brother, and they did look alike, and they both lived in the building.
So it was kind of a constant battle.
But George gave, like, he gave my movers the bags of garbage I was throwing out.
And I didn't find out until I was out of the city moving in.
I'm like, why do I have the garbage I was throwing out in Queens?
Are you 100% sure it wasn't Georgilus?
Maybe he's Americanized it.
This landlady, though, speaking of the last drive-in, Eric,
did anybody recognize who this lady is?
Oh, I did not.
I didn't even look it up.
She is the fucking creepy-ass nurse in Exorcist 3.
Oh, wow.
There's a great scene where George C. Scott's trying to interrogate this lady,
and he's, like, screaming at her.
It's fucking awesome.
It's a weird movie.
Oh, really? Oh, it's so fucking...
It is balls to the walls.
Bad shit crazy, Steve, but it's a good time.
A weird one.
Definite recommends. Speaking of weird ones, by the way,
Stan Ipkis, after the night that he's had,
after he finds the masks and deals with this landlady,
goes into his house, and you know what you got to do
right when you walk into the door at 2.30 in the morning?
You better put on a VHS tape of old cartoons.
That's the thing. It's one thing if you're just like,
oh, God, I'm fucking beat.
Let me just pop on Cartoon Network.
Oh, awesome.
every cartoons ha ha let me just chill out but like no time to get my tape out time to get out the
tape he's got a bunch of tapes there's a lot of tapes there's a lot of tapes here and i think you see
there's another thing somewhere earlier in the movie where he's got like a luneitunes notebook
or something like that he's got above his bed pictures of porky pig and daffy duck and i'm like
you're going to take jolly fisher home and fuck her in front of porky pig and daffy duck she's
going to leave. That's some sick shit, man. That's some real sick shit you just did.
I do actually wonder, because like the difference between me and Stanley, I like old
cartoons and things for children, for sure, all the way to my present life. But I never had
enough money to live alone and never had enough money to like populate an apartment with
things that I like. And Lord knows what that nightmare would look like. I don't should move to
Edge City. Dude, if I lived alone, I would, I would be the fucking mayor of Edge City. I'll tell you,
you and me are in the same boat with that. Like, similarly, I always either had a roommate or
living with Chelsea as an adult, you know, so I never branched out on my own like that. And I can
tell you right now, it would have been a disaster because it wouldn't be as juvenile as like
Uncle Joey's room on Full House. Like the loft space in big when Tom Hanks. Yeah, I have in
video games. Exactly. Trampolines. Because it's the money thing that I thankfully didn't have.
because you remember my apartment we lived together
it was Spartan and weird
it did my my room didn't have any
things on the wall all it did all it had was like a framed photo
of Tom Waits it was kind of like
is there a rifle under that guy
I
true true story I never saw the actual floor of that
fucking room of yours
never not once
don't covered in shit
covered in shit you mean
clothes strewn about
sometimes
Not feces.
He wasn't slinging shit on the wall like an ape.
No.
Okay, yeah, I'll clear that up.
Yeah, by the way, Chris Cabin' throwing stones left and right over here.
I've seen how you live, buddy.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Oh, you know.
Chris Cabin Glasshouse is my friend.
Yeah, exactly.
I got some fucking stories to tell, but I will not.
Burn him.
Burn him.
Ben Stein's in this movie.
Yeah, we see, he's on like some talk show or something.
like that's how his character's introduced
and it's like the masks we wear
psychology mumbo jumbo
thing I wrote a book about how
we're all wearing masks
and this is the limit of Benstein
acting because Ben and Stein can only
do the Bueller voice
like in this movie he's trying to like
be a little peppier and it just
doesn't work. God I hate him I just hate
him so much I hated
him even when I enjoyed watching other people
win his money
But so he fucking puts the mask on
And I timed it, by the way
Ben Stein puts the mask on
Yep, yep
Now I can write speeches for Richard Nixon
In record time
Oh, somebody stop me
Voodoo economics
I can help bomb Cambodia
In record time
Oh man, don't give Kissinger the fucking mask
somebody could stop me at any moment
but you won't
he actually goes up and eats Cambodia
as the mask
those children's bodies are smoking
spicy meatball
napalm
so no Stanley
Ipkis puts on the mask
and I timed it
we have the mask on screen
in under 20 minutes which is what
you want. That means he's
in mask costume in the
first reel of your film. Yep.
And God bless it. This movie
I will say is a brisk like 100 minutes.
It's well-paced. The only part that
seems to drag for me is towards
the end because I'm just like, all right, all right.
Well, yeah, the third act where it's like, am I
in prison? Am I not in prison? Oh,
what did Cameron Diaz really think
about me? Right, right, right.
So the first sort of
gag here, he's sort of like, well, he
fucking totally destroys this land.
landlord's uh sense of mental stability here he's like he this is where he's got the uh the mallet
and he's smashing the alarm clock in the hallway well the first thing he says when he when he does
turn around and reveals himself as the mask is smoking which you know i don't know it's pretty good
where's that coming from where's that coming from yeah it's what's smoking i mean it's just he's so
he's very hot got it okay he's very i think he's gonna go out he's gonna go try to buy some math
Steve.
Oh, God.
It would have been better if you heard Stanley Ipkiss, like, in some capacity,
used smoking, like, while hanging out with Richard Jenny.
Like, Richard Jenny says, like, oh, we got, you know, I got us two tickets to my sex
cruise or whatever the last sex safari, love safari, there it is.
And then you have, like, Stanley Ipkis go, like, wow, smoking, you got these tickets.
Yeah, that might, that would be something.
Or, like, Richard Jenny invites him out.
Like, no, no, come out.
Have a cigarette with me.
And then the young boss, which is a semi-adversary at the bank, maybe like shoves him and he's like, no smoking.
Yeah, yeah, anything like that just because like, where is the mask pulling these lines?
Also, where is the mask getting the clothing change here?
Well, I guess it's, well, the clothing change is just, it's whatever you wanted to be.
And I guess it's informed by the tech savory cartoons.
Now, I saw a bunch of those growing up, but I don't remember how often they used the term smoking, but it might have been in there.
I don't know. I just remember the wolf howling at women. That was, that's my tech saver experience.
Richard Jenny is getting him like to, we should go to a party and he says, P-A-R-T-Y, because I got a.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yes, exactly. You know, and okay, yes, the clothing is magic fine, but the witty one-liners, I don't know.
Especially if this, if the whole thing as is explained to us in this movie is like, it brings out your innermost desires, your innermost personality, whatever.
like it's cocaine is what it is
he's no longer wearing the mask
he wore to go to the office
the mask that he thought he needed to
wear around women and whatever
else now it's just it's uncontrolled
id you're totally right dude
and you're talking about wearing masks of the office
again makes me thankful you no longer
working enough
I mean I honestly don't know how you don't
I mean this the cartoons
always talk in one liner
so it makes sense that like
that's what since he is a living cartoon
is obsessed with cartoons, as we've seen.
Like, he puts him above his fuck bed and everything.
But, like, I believe that.
I see that as part of the whole thing.
Also, if there's one sure thing that would happen if you turned,
if you, any of you turned into the mask,
all of you have animals in your home,
your dog or cat would have a fucking heart attack.
Full on, the heart would explode.
Dude, my dog fucking coweres when there's a fly in the room.
Exactly.
Like, fucking actual storm cloud.
come into your house, lightning, you turn into a Tasmanian devil spin around and now have an
enormous fucking head. That dog is dead. D-E-E-A-D-D-D. I can't use a toaster of it in my house
because my dog gets scared of the smell of smoke. Exactly. Well, stop burning your toast then.
What's the matter with you? It has not to do with the burnt toast. It's just the smell of burning.
So he won't be around the grill? No. Well, the grill is fine. It's the smell specifically of that
because we were in a fire
together. Oh, right,
I forgot about that. Well, that makes sense.
My dog, my dog was never attacked
by a pack of flies.
That makes sense that you were in the
fire together, and for a second, I thought
it was your dog was afraid it was
having a stroke. It's like, oh, I smell
toast. He's done all the
reading. He's very up to all the
notifiers.
Excellent. He knows all the warning signs.
Yeah. So his first, like,
bit of crime fighting
as it is, I guess, as he goes out, and there's all these
like street tuffs that are bothering him.
And this is where he's pretending to be the carnival barker
doing balloon animals and we get the condom
joke. Well, this is funny because
there is a deleted scene, I
don't know where it is, but where they
mug him first. They mug Stanley Ipkis.
Oh, really?
Earlier in the film. And it makes
sense because they're very specific
like you should have seen them before
kind of a thing. That's true.
When you say they, you're talking about Pantera, right?
who has romaned the street
like tough enough people
fat danzig over here
well he gives one of them
an atomic wedgy which is fun
that's fat danzig
but I do like the whole like
he turns into like a carnival barker
doing the the balloon animals
one of the great thing is like he does a little
well you know I'll make something for you son
he keeps on calling them son
and he makes a little little poodle
and he blows it up and says
dog was rabbit had to put it down
I was laughing
I love the detail of
I was laughing too
I love the detail of
they're all like
enchanted by him
because they're all like
looking at the balloon animals
in all like children would
like wow look
it's kind of funny
but why would anyone
try to attack him
after you see this fucking creature
that's that's
I mean I guess that's the
agreement
that like the production
made for this movie
is like
whenever the mask is in public
and someone sees him for the first time
no one shits their pants
in terror. Yes. Everybody's
like, look at that guy as if it's a real
person. You just said it
in Gotham itself.
But I think there's a bit of actual
like quote on like with capital
M magic that the mask gives
to like exudes from his
body wherein people like
kind of fall into it. You know what I mean? Like later on
the Cuban peat bit it's like he's doing
something to these. He's enchanting
these people. I guess with
the Cuban Pete bit, but there is a
fucking, there's a glaring error
with that whole thing because it's like, if that's
happening to everybody around them, like, why
is Peter Riegert and the other guy
like totally fine
with it? You know, it's not affecting them.
Oh, if Peter Green's guy still want to kill him
like all the time. I just
I guess I just really wanted to see dancing
Peter Riegert in that scene if I'm going to be
totally honest. Maybe it's like the Jedi mind
trick. You've got to have a weak enough
mind. The
mask is just getting things over on stupid.
Yeah, like Bib Fortuna, but not
Jabba the Hut. Right.
I do remember that the
Fat Danzig is the third
level boss in the
video game, the Super NES game. Wow.
There's a video game. There's a video game
and this guy, I'm pretty sure
it's this guy, or it's just some fat gangster
and he's like
burping and shooting at you at the same time.
Oh, Lord. I think we rented it and I just did not play that thing
because I was like, this fucking sucks.
It's really bad. So many of those time games
were terrible, man. I will never forget
playing. There was an
S&ES Beavis and Budhead game
and it was a real
dumb game and it was like
I just remember one of the levels was you
were like running through the school
and like something crazy had happened or
whatever but like you couldn't get past it
it was one of those games that like I'm
confident they just built it only
up to a point that you could never beat
and then just suckered kids in Dubai
it's like that Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles game where you go under
water. Oh, God, that first
one? Oh, man. The blood pressure
will rise when you play that. I feel like I'm
starting to sweat just thinking about it.
You're not wrong, dude.
A lot of frustrated afternoons
trying to play that. What's that? Is that
Doritos Nacho cheese
in my mouth? The taste, I haven't
eaten those in years.
Yeah, some of this.
I've been doing a lot of SNES
and NES, like, classic gaming
on Switch. And, boy,
some of that shit takes you right back
I gotta say it does
yeah so he you know he
dispatches these people then this is when he's
with the Tommy gun
yes balloon Tommy gun
but they get away so he doesn't kill
them and see this is
you guys are right especially from
like what I've been
told I didn't get a chance to look on
comicsology for any issues or anything
but what I've been explained this
comic was was sort of
grittier and darker like that and I
would love to see these pigs fucking chess
explodes right here.
This does borrow heavily from one
issue because the
auto mechanics deaths are gruesome as hell
in the comments. Oh really? He's really
fucking shoving the shit in with those poles.
One of them, I think the fat one
gets like a bunch of screwdrivers and like
crowbars in his head. I'll take that over a fucking
muffler up my ass. Sure.
That is a hellraiser move though
right there. Yeah. You're totally right.
The mask is pinhead.
Yeah. I mean, it's a
deep ancient evil, there's bound to be
similarities. That's true. This is
one of the, also when he's doing the Carnival
Barker thing, we get one of the most adult
jokes, which is him taking a wet
condom out of his pants and
fling it in the air.
I guess the line wrong pocket
was a Jim Carrey improv,
which I appreciate. But also like,
it's, I mean, that's not where you put
used condoms, dude. That's, that's
not, not in my
experience. Maybe he,
Huck him on the street.
No, I'm not fucking in the street like a dog.
Maybe he's fucking in the street like a dog
And he's put it in his pocket
Waiting until he sees a, you know, a receptacle.
You know, this reminds me of just the other day
As a matter of fact, I was strolling through my beautiful neighborhood
Here in New York City
You know, hot summer morning walking the dog and whatnot
And it was like a Sunday.
So, you know, after the Saturday night weekend shenanigans
And I looked down
And on the sidewalk just cook
cooking in the morning sun are two condoms.
Whoa.
One fucking ketchup red and the other one mustard yellow.
And I was like, what are we doing everybody?
That's a low count for a Sunday.
I just thought it was kind of funny that it was two condoms.
I mean, they were seriously like six inches apart.
So I don't know if one was like, oh, it's defective.
Let me try the other one.
By the way, I am fucking in the street.
I think for penises, that counts as social distancing six inches apart.
And your penis was wearing a mask, which is good.
Oh, yeah, you definitely got a mask up.
So, yeah, so the mechanics are assaulted here.
We don't see what happens until the aftermath scene,
and this is where we're introduced to the great Peter Riegerd as Lieutenant Callaway.
And then there's other guy who's a very funny part of this movie.
I think you mean Doyle.
What were you going to say about Doyle, Steve?
No, that's it just Doyle.
Oh, I see.
Yes, Peter Regert yelling Doyle like that throughout the movie.
I love the repartee between the two of them.
I think it's fucking hilarious.
And like, as far as like, you know, you can't, you know,
obviously Jim Carrey is the funniest part of this movie.
But like, you can't compare that to anything else.
So like right below that is the two of them being the funniest non-Jim Carrey part of this movie.
Well, that's the other thing is like, Riegert is gets it.
It's like, okay.
And he's like doing, and he is like, you know, he's being funny,
but he's not trying to upstage carry
in terms of like being loud
and funny. He's like, oh, just be a sarcastic, whatever.
I just kind of feel, and you got Richard
Jenny floating around. I think you need
more comedic tropes in terms
and also Cameron Diaz, not in this movie, but isn't a terrific
comedic actress. You kind of want like a comedic
villain, I think. You just need somebody with a little
more pep in his step. I think you're
totally right. And as much as, you know, we've said
repeatedly on this show that Peter Green is a great
actor, which he totally is.
It's just like, why is this dude
so dark and dirty
and that like just it's got to be a
cartoon character. Exactly.
Just like everything else to sort of balance
that out. It should be like
Bobcat Goldthwaite is the bad guy.
Fuck if Bobcat was in this movie
is the bad guy, that would be awesome.
Either as Dorian or Nico. Like you have to actually
you have to both because they're both too serious for
it. Nico is also way too serious.
That's the other problem Chris because the guy who plays
Nico who's like the head of the crime syndicate
is this actor Arrestes Matasena
who is just
this Cuban actor, he's still around, you know, pops up and stuff.
He was, he was accredited as Spanish dignitary in previous episode, Wild Wild West, by the way.
Oh, nice.
Oh, dear.
But it's just such a nothing character.
It's not built up in any way, you know, and at least in, like, so if you're making the Batman
comparison, like, you remember Jack Palance in that movie.
Yes.
Jack Palance is the right level of cartoonishly villainous in the movie.
You're right.
Because like imagine Jack Palance
and trying to hit a golf
golf ball off of this dude's face.
It would have been way more interesting
than what we do get
because it is trying to play it a little too real.
You're right.
Yeah, he does grab his fuck
Peter Green and puts a fucking tea in his mouth
that tries to hit golf balls off of him.
And you know, the thing that's crazy is
just speaking of Mr. Palance, by the way,
this movie comes out in 1994.
You know what else comes out in 1994?
A total stay tuned city sleigh
stickers to the legend of Curley's gold. That's what Jack Palance was doing the year this
movie came out, man. Well, you've got this guy named Nico. I need him to be eating like
a feda and tomato salad, like something a little bit like there's no personality here.
Like give me something here. And actually call him Nico the Greek by the way. Yes, that would
be nice. Give him something. So regert, uh, regert such as he is, Lieutenant Calloway goes, uh, he's
taken the case right here
also with the landlady is the idea
this is actually so that you don't get the aftermath
of mechanics right away I'm reading my notes out of order
Riegert goes to the building
where Ipicus lives and he's assigned to the
disturbance that happened and this
is Peter Riegert
telling Jim Carrey those pajamas
are impossible but the crime
outside actually happens. It's pretty good
it's such a good line. Pretty good slam
and you know
Jim Carrey realized
says, oh, no, I was the mask or something.
So he has to like, he's trying not to be the mask.
He goes back to work. He yells at his, this is what he yells at his boss?
No, the boss yells at him.
Like, you're 40 minutes late.
It gets, well, right, right, right.
That's the same as stealing.
I mean, after what it just happened to me, I'm not going into work.
Yeah.
I'm picking a sick day.
It's a sick day, I think.
Yeah.
No, you've got to keep up appearances.
What's the mask hangover like?
Oh, man.
It apparently is something because every time he wakes up,
the next morning. He for a few
minutes doesn't remember what the hell he was
doing the night before. He's always
rubbing his forehead as if he's hung
over. I think you're right, Steve. It's a real
banger of a hangover every time you do this. I need him
drinking like a ball jar full of water
taking a pitch black shit
eating greasy food.
Well that's, you know,
I think you're right though and I was thinking about this too
like the mask masks around
like this is the mask here's like
ooh somebody's hungry
and then he goes to a diner and goes
fucking ape shit. Dude, that would actually
be great if after one of these crazy
adventures, he says, ooh, somebody's
hungry, and it just cuts, and
it's like the Nighthawks painting, and it's
just the mask, quietly
eating a bowl of soup and a counter
all alone. I'd
fucking love... That's a good joke.
That's a good visual joke for the mask.
Somebody's lonely.
Oh, for sure.
It would be kind of great, but yeah,
you're totally right. Like, because we never
see the come down from those evening.
we see him take off the mask
various times later in the movie
which is horrifying
but these times of like
I'm out on the town and then I wake up
the next morning like what happened
you ate a fucking neutron bomb last night
you don't think that's coming out
the other end somehow
towards the end of the movie he does
and it's just like you're at best
you're you're shooting out like the metal
from the alarm clock that was the timer
it's going to be a mess
you have to put the mask on
to pass that low.
That's a great point.
You're totally right.
Dude, you feel it coming on.
You're like,
oh, oh, boy.
Oh, but then,
oh, it would be tragic,
though, if the fucking sun was still up
because the mask only works
when night has fallen.
So he's like,
he's trying to sweat out the clock
just like, oh, man,
I got to wait till sun goes down for this one.
Stanley Hips is popping,
Emodium AD.
I feel like the mask shits out
the big bullets from Mario.
Oh, my God,
the bullet fills.
um he goes to work uh this is when amy asbeck really makes her appearance she was at the crime scene
where the with the the auto mechanics and then she like is on the case she's like oh your car was there
you're stanley ipkis and we we come to find out that he wrote some impassioned screed called
let nice guys finish last which is very terrifying to me oh right oh yeah because amy asbeck's
character is peggy brant and she writes a dear peggy
advice column. She has a great line here
because he's like, oh, you're
Dear Peggy, what are you doing? Like, you know, doing this
crime story and she goes, dear Peggy
pays dick, which
was great. There is also a, one of the harder
laughs I had at just a regularly
delivered Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey line
is when he goes in and
he goes into the work the next morning and Richard
Jenny's like, oh, Stan, what happened
to you last night? Me and the girls were, you know,
looking all over the club or whatever it was. And he
goes, did you happen to look outside in the gutter?
It's just that Jim Carrey delivery man
that just totally slayed me this time around.
But I just feel like anyone who lives by the creed
or uses the expression, nice guys finish last,
is somebody you want to steer clear of.
It's just all I want to say.
Well, because it's like an in-cell thing, right?
Yes, exactly.
Yeah, big time.
This is, you know, you've got a single picture of Tom
weights on your wall.
You know what, guys.
You just, Steve,
were you waiting for the campus poster guy
to come around to the apartment?
Sell you some movie posters?
Steve, tell me, yes or no?
Was there a figurine in that bedroom?
Maybe one or two.
There's nothing wrong with it.
There's nothing wrong with it.
You know what?
There's also nothing wrong with
drinking diet Pepsi out of a Chinese
wanton container full of soup.
Just like some people, I might know.
That's me. That was me. That was what I did.
That is not good.
It was delicious.
Chris, that sucks.
No ice either.
That was just warm diet Coke that tastes like soup.
And did an older boy bet you to do this?
No, no, no. This is all my brainchild.
An older boy.
So this is where we mentioned it briefly already, but this is where Dorian has to go to Nico.
to, I guess, you know, explain himself about what went down
because these, I love these two scumbag bodyguards
that come in right here
that like take Nico in, or take Dorian in to see him.
Yeah.
The mullets on these two dudes, it is spectacular.
They look wet too.
They're like a wet mullet.
I think there's some like gel or like some moose in their hair.
But what should recall it?
Dorian's number two is the dude with the shaved head
but it's got a big ponytail anyway.
Yes, that dude's awesome.
That guy's been in a bunch of stuff.
With that haircut.
Yeah.
Cliffhanger is the big one with him.
Oh, is he in Cliffhanger?
Does he have this haircut though?
He's one of the John Lithgow gang, I think.
Oh, love it.
Oh, I love it.
But yeah, this is, I've always been freaked out by this,
you know, putting the golf tea in his mouth thing.
And honestly, I don't golf, but I've been to, like,
driving ranges before.
Any time I'm setting up, like, at a driving range
even well like put putt you don't use a tea i think about this thing from this movie an awful lot of
times really yeah because it was so like viscerally like oh my god this guy could get hit in the face
full swing with a golf club like that's some fucking serious goodfellas type stuff you know
listen dory and you're screwing up our stuff deal uh all of our stuff is screwed up because of
the club all the crimes that we need to get to you know what dude you're fired from crime that's it
you're fired from crime and he's he's given him a week to nico gives dorian a week to get out of
town this is why the italian mafia has it right if someone's fucking up you just kill them and
you'll pretend that you're their friend you don't give anybody a heads up get out of town come
on no way dude i have i'm having this guy that's here right now is going to take you downstairs
to that car that's right there
and you're going for a drive.
Exactly. Otherwise you're giving the weak head start
to fuck you over.
Which is what happens.
The next to that, yeah, it's the second
masquening, unless we want to
mention anything else. This is the bank
robbery scene. Yeah, so
he decides like he wants to go out for like
a night on the town, but then he realizes
like he doesn't have any money. You ain't anyone
until you have money. That's the whole thing.
That's right, dude. You ain't shit
until you got some fat stacks in your pocket.
So there's one thing I should bring up about his home life after the regert stops by.
He has...
The regert.
The regert comes by.
There is a newspaper clipping of Cameron Diaz.
You can't start doing that, buddy.
That's a slippery slope you're talking about.
You're starting to clip out all kinds of things after that.
You cannot...
Here's the thing, ladies and gentlemen, unless it is something where, like, your child or, like, a niece or nephew or something,
like that achieved
some athletic something
or got profiled in the local
Gazette, whatever the fuck.
You just as a great rule of
thumb as a grown adult should not
be clipping stories out of newspapers.
I got an amendment on that.
Okay.
Do it after you kill them.
Don't do it before you kill them.
If you want a trophy or whatever.
Trophy clippings are a completely
different world of clippings. You're right.
Kidnap letters. It's better for
magazines, honestly. Yeah, and you want to fasten
some of their hair to the clipping just
to sort of make it come to life
a little bit for sure. Thank you, Steve.
Because then you could feel the hair and then you can
finally shoot again. Because you're
reenacting the crime scene in your head.
But yeah, Chris, it's on his
mirror and it is on a lonely wall
too. It's a very
not great. Better yesterday, buddy.
Matter yesterday.
When you, uh,
when we have the scene of him like deciding
to go out for night to
there's a bit of a continuity error here
because after the first night of craziness
he's like wow that's the end
of that and he throws the mask out the window
and leaves for work and the mask sort of
you see it boomerang and it
goes back and lands on his pillow
and then this scene starts with he's having like a sexy
dream about Cameron Diaz this is her
licking his ear because it's the dog
waking him up and then it's like
oh no the mask is here but the mask
at that point is placed like
on the couch across the room
Yeah, well, there's two options here.
Either the place is haunted or the dog did it.
Yeah, you got yourself a dog.
And yeah, I mean, the mask thing, it's a haunted object.
You know, boomerangs, it wants to be worn, you know.
Of course it does, but then why would it remove itself from his pillow?
It's a good point.
You know what I mean?
Also, creepy fucking thing here.
I don't know what's going on with this lonely Stanley Ipkis.
But when he wakes up from that dream and he's like, let's go put the mask on,
there is, did you catch this on the nightstand what he's got there?
and open
open
jar of peanut butter
oh you know I saw that this was
listed on IMDB as a trivia
because that's what they put in Jim Carrey's
ear to make the dog lick it
so it was a thing where they just left it there
that's a production error I think
what a goof
what a goof
that's kind of funny though
because I noticed it and I was like
what is he doing with that peanut butter
which is also disrespectful for a dog actor
of Maxis Cal
You have to explain the scene to him. He'll do it. He just needs to understand it.
You don't need to cheat with this guy.
I'm going to walk, Charles. If you keep doing this with the peanut butter, I'm going to fucking walk.
I'm going to be, need to, you got to take me for a walk. I have to go to the bathroom.
I mean, woof, woof.
Peanut butter, that's like cute cards, okay? Like, I don't need that shit. I just need to be in the scene.
Just tell me what you want me to lick.
what is my dog motivation
specifically dog motivation
that's it I'm calling my agent who is a possum
oh that's adorable
meanwhile Reggie Kathy and the gang
are trying to
which I love Reggie Kathy
in the earlier scene is like
oh you don't have to worry the doctor is in
and then like he's on the phone with Peter Green
he's like you all set me and he's like
oh yes the doctor is in
and it's like the doctor just
means he has guns?
Like, it's not like,
he's not super surgical
in how he's going to rob this bank.
Well, we never see, to be fair to,
I think his name is Freeze.
Yeah.
Like, we don't actually see what his
plan was going to be. You are right that they were
approaching a closed bank
with guns drawn.
But the line in the van is fucking
great, though. And it's another thing I just say
to myself out of nowhere constantly
is the
doctor is about
to operate
operate under these terms
looks like he was just going to blow up the front of
the building. Yeah. Is that when
Seabless comes to your door? You're like, ooh, the doctor
is about to operate. It's me.
It's way too much Mexican food for one person.
I just crack open a bottle
of Haritos and say that line.
And you pretend that there's other people
in the room. Yeah. Oh, definitely.
Well, those are those embarrassing
orders where it's like,
It's just me. It's a bunch of food. And it's two separate rolls of silverware. Thanks a lot.
I got the worst one today. I was at the beer store, the liquor store. I am going to see some people tomorrow.
My family, so I bought a little more than usual. But the guy did ask me, ah, you're having a party?
Oh, man.
I got that one time. This is just for the week.
I don't need people being friendly with me.
No, period.
And here's the thing. Liquor store proprietors.
and any seller of alcohol,
don't make this presumption.
I think I talked about this one time
like within the last year or so on the air.
I was at a liquor store.
And I was buying just two bottles of wine.
And the person was like, oh, dinner party.
And I was like, fuck.
Exactly.
No, this is sleeping pills, pal.
Back off.
Yeah, I was like, this is for me and my wife for tonight.
And I will see you tomorrow.
Thank you very much.
Exactly.
So speaking of blowing up the building,
the mask explodes in a tornado out the front door
and he's got like two huge bags of money
and he's you know I love the thing
if he snatches a couple of the bills up
that are like floating in the air or whatever
and they Reggie Kathy the doctor
is like oh shit cops
and they just start opening fire on police
it's like immediately
it's like guys how about you just like
you didn't rob the bank just put your guns away and you're good
it's so ridiculous
but yeah so they fire wildly
the mask goes to the Coco Bongo.
It's a great moment where he just throws all this money in the air
and you see everyone waiting online to get into the club
like freak out and try to grab it.
It is a very Joker thing again right here, which is pretty cool.
I mean, the in-cell angle too, like a lot of this could line up
and the fact that he finds crime funny, etc.
Exactly. I'll tell you this.
Most definitely, the mask 1994,
much better than Joker 2019.
Agreed.
No doubt about it.
Yeah, it's a photo finish.
They both have their peaks and valleys, but neither of them has...
A photo finish, really?
I think Jim Carrey should have won the honest with it.
Anyway.
So he goes to the club and, you know, this is the pretty famous.
He is acting like the Texhavery Wolf.
Steve, I want to point something out right here.
Steve Sadex, Twitter, if you guys don't know, is a great resource for many reasons.
disagree. Wow. But I have to, well, you know what, Eric, I also like your Twitter feed too. So how about that?
Agree. I thought you were going to say, uh, Zeprooter, no, I think it's because Steve, you fucking pointed out the freeze frame of when he is losing the wolf face and it's going back into Jim Carrey. And there's a moment where like, he is a green werewolf.
It's really creepy.
There's like a couple of frames
and you captured it perfectly
where he's like animated
to look like a green
like orc wolf creature thing.
I just brought it up.
I see it now.
So I take it back.
This is one of the finest resources.
His ears are long.
I didn't notice that.
When Steve tweeted this the other night
I was like,
okay, it's a picture of Jim Carrey
in the mask.
Got it.
Well, Eric's seriously bone-chilling.
It looks like Yoda
wearing a fucking yellow suit.
The arm is like woven
too. I didn't notice that at all.
Stop me somebody.
Yeah, I got it.
Smoking, I am.
When I was scrolling through smoking,
I was, I didn't notice it was any different.
I was like, what is this?
I do think Yoda is a character
that put the mask on and never took it off
kind of a thing.
Oh, and that's what happens, dude,
when you just leave it on for that long.
That's why his species is unknown.
Do you think Yoda was just originally
like a rabbit that accidentally put that
mask? Yes, I do. Murder
everybody on its planet and
then but grew wise over the years. Tamed
the beast. Yeah. Well, because he was all alone
dude. You know what I mean? And that's why you live 600 years
because you're the mask. You're good to go.
Oh. So the mask
finally gets into the Cocoa Bongo
sees Cameron Diaz perform
and then gives the entire band
5 o'clock shadows.
I guess this is the magic.
He's using magic on the
world around him. He also
transforms their suits into
darker, I guess. Yes, I guess.
And this is, you know,
your Hey, Pachuco song,
which is a good one.
By the Royal Crown Review.
Woo!
But this was the song that,
and this whole number where I was like, this fucking movie
sparked like, you know,
I think what happened was
in like 1996 or something,
the guy who's like,
this singer for the Cherry Popin' Datties was like,
you know what? This whole like,
ska punk thing just is not really
working out. Let me just go home
for the night. I'll put on a
movie, just kind of clear my head,
see what I can do. And when he
went home, he put on the mask, and this thing hit
and he was like, say.
It is, it is
great. I also think that
Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz, when
they're not turned into physical
CGI cartoons, are doing a good dance
number here. It's a fun. It is.
And she, again, she's a fun physical
performer, and she like gets it, I think.
a lot. One thing, if you're, the, the necessity of safe houses and crime is really important.
Absolutely. You can not. One of people speak on this matter. You can't just, they show up. They,
they run to the cops. Everything goes tits up. They don't get any money. They all got shot to shit.
And they bring this dude back to Peter Green's club. And it's like, no, no, no, no. This is like going to Lawrence Tierney's house.
at the beginning
in reservoir dogs
he's out there grilling
they bring fucking Mr. Orange
it's like
no this might be
because Nico cut off
all resources
to Dorian at this point
got it
but still like
most crime associates
would be like
we don't want to be
photographed together
he Peter Green
wants to be photographed
with Reggie Kathy
all the time
it seems like
well they are
best friends
best friends
best buddies
all right
I can't believe
you brought him here
all right
who wants a dog
and who wants a burger
I can't believe I'm hosting a cookout for these scumbays
Oh and by the way
Nunny is actually stole or any of the things I asked you twos
This is perfect
It's a Mr. Pink inside this cook of this steak
All right here's a reservoir dog with extra busted
No shouldn't be extra ketchup dude
That's for Tim Roth's character
Oh that's true
Fucking blood all over the place
Uh yeah
Michael Madsen, I don't remember which character use plays, but yeah, here's an ear taco for you.
Steve Hushemi, you had a kibasa, I guess.
You do not bring fucking bleeding people to places of business.
Absolutely not.
You call him from a hotel or something.
And this is, you know, Reggie Kathy's not doing well right here.
He's like, someone got there before us.
Does he say it was that mask?
No, the other guy points it out because the mask is on the dance floor at the time.
But Reggie Kathy's like clearly about to check out right here.
And Peter Green puts a cigarette in his mouth and Steve, I'll throw it to you because you called this out.
This is Chris's baby.
Oh, Chris Kavan, go ahead.
So he throws a cigarette in his mouth and lights it.
It says, suck on that.
That's the last words this dude hears before he dies.
What are you fucking Judd Nelson's dad and fucking breakfast club?
Smoke up, Johnny.
it's so hilarious because he's like taking his last breaths and he's like
suck on that the dude just dies oh it's great that's how you go into the
the the nether world it's just fucking hearing suck on that
you're focusing on the sucking i mean it's like one last cigarette yeah
but you want to be able to you want to be able to breathe one in at least i would think
well you that's why you have to suck it
so he's like who did this and this other dude who I this other guy is from
something I think he's just I mean he's from the mask like he is he gets a lot of play in this
movie and I mean as for like henchman number two like this guy gets a lot of play are you
talking about the big bold guy no the guy with the long blonde hair right here spots the
that's cliffhanger oh that guy that's cliffhanger guy the bald so then who's the bald
guy with the like little ponytail at the back of his head he's the head cutter from
escape from L.A. Oh, is that right? Yes. I saw some Tribune trivia, or maybe it was
Wachapedia, that the dude with the blonde hair in the scene was almost Chris Elliott. Oh. Oh,
that would be kind of interesting. What, like at birth? But his dad pulled down.
Exactly. There you go. There you go, Chris. That's what fucking IDB trivia says.
So Dorian like clears out the club by firing guns wildly and they're like trying to go after
the mask right here. And then this is like,
this is my most
hated part of this movie is when
they fire on the mask and he's
doing the multiple
impressions whilst
dying, which then gets turned into this
prolonged Oscars
joke. I kind of like it.
Really? I like the whole Western like
you got me, partner.
And if that was just, falling in his arms.
If that was like the one dude,
fine. Yeah. But there's a
bunch. This is after also he's
done. One of the most terrifying
iterations of the mask, in my opinion,
is Elvis mask.
Oh, right. Yeah. When he's like,
he's dodging all the bullets and everything
and he turns into Elvis at one point. And just the way
they have craggily
faced old Elvis, but he's
got the green mask on.
It's bone chilling. It's Robin
William syndrome. Just go, Jim.
Just fucking do it. Exactly.
Yeah. Want to do a Russian dance. Fucking go.
He's going to do 10 and you got to use them all.
kind of a thing. Yep, the contractual obligation of like, you got to use whatever I give you.
I have to ask, how often are these guys clearing out this club with guns? Like, they're just
like firing into the air to be like, get out of here. Get out of here. Like, is this happening
every night? That's a great question. And on top of that, it's got to be, Nico's got to be pissed.
This is Nico's club. He's got to be pissed off about this whole thing. Because honestly,
one of the most unbelievable parts
about a movie where a guy puts on a wooden mask
and turns into a rubbery cartoon character
is that after this fucking
we're gonna go around shooting
to get people out of this club
the next week
the Coco Bongo is packed to the brin again
no way this club is out of
oh there was a shooting there it's at least
six months club death wish
you know what there's like it's the intrigue
now the element of danger
like oh this is a
A sexy night out is only sexier if there's the threat of death.
And also, to be fair, it's the only nightclub in town.
Guys, guys, that's true.
Did attendants at the Viper Room spike after River Phoenix fucking passed?
I mean, probably a little bit.
I bet you that's really disturbing.
So everything clears out.
Peter Rieger comes in with the cops right here, finds a piece of Ipkiss's abhorrent sailor,
little sailor boy fucking pajamas
that he's got. It looks like a shirt Kramer would buy
a Rudy's by the way. It does.
So that all happens. This is the next morning. This
is where he threatens the boss and he's like
oh, I'm sure the IRS would love
to know that you're using Daddy's Bank
as your own personal piggy bank.
You'll have a nice vacation at
Club Fed. We were talking
we've talked a bunch and on our animation
damnation episode we talk about it a bit too
about kids in your school that
did the mask jokes. Right.
Right. We should mention that the animation
damnation in question is this month's
which is on the mask cartoon
which is much worse than
this movie much much worse but patreon.com
slash we hate movies
the mask kid in my
school went so far he would
scream out I hope your daddy enjoys being
at club fed at all
hours he's using Ipkis
lines he's going down to club fed
man like you know smoke and sure
somebody stopped me absolutely
yeah
P-A-R-T-Y because I got it
that was a hot one absolutely but we're doing club fed like i was like dude you got to stop you got
you can't you can't say things that he says when he's stanley ipkis can that's the dumbest thing
i've ever heard well you know it was trouble when he started doing the dorian mask lines
super fan or he's like oh i got those concert tickets you wanted like what what are you
like really i didn't ask for those oh it's from the movie i see got it okay all right
So then this is one of the funniest things.
This is very much a Batman thing.
Richard Jenny's like, oh, hey, Stan.
I have two tickets to the charity ball at the Coco Bongo.
Charity ball.
This is straight out of Batman.
Yes, it is.
I mean, it just, you know, it should have taken place at a museum.
You know what I mean?
Like the relic.
Is there a charity ball in the relic?
Yeah, that's what's happening at the end.
When the monster attacks.
When the relic attacks.
You know what's a relic?
now, the relic.
That's prime tier.
Tom Seismore, my friend.
This is what he realized he doesn't want to be the mask anymore.
He goes to see Ben Stein.
And like, it's just a bad scene.
It's a very bad scene between him.
And like, and that's my book was a metaphor.
There's no actual mask.
Exactly.
His fucking office is full of masks.
And a lot of mixed messages out of Ben Stein's office.
this is what we find out you can only use it at night
and the guy and he's like
well I'm supposed to see Tina tonight should I see her as
me or the mask and it's like Ben Stein
being like will it get me
will it get you out of my office
if I answer you and it's like this is a line
that a real comedian should deliver
not some fucking Richard Nixon
fucking hack
yeah it's totally awful
this is also where he is analyzing it
and I hadn't remembered this
part of it at all
way back when we did
episode on Son of the Mask, which
features fucking Alan
coming playing Loki.
But I
remembered none of the Loki shit
from this movie. And I think
I may have incorrectly
like stated on
that Son of the Mask episode that like
the Loki stuff wasn't mentioned
in this movie. Obviously I'm wrong. That's what
this entire scene was about. He's like
it's the Norse god of
mistress.
4th or 5th century
Scandinavian
But the funny thing that you do get out of this scene
Is Jim Carrey being like, okay, here, Benstein,
I'm going to show you what happens
When you put this mask on.
Get ready because your fucking pants are going to drop,
dude, this is some wild shit.
And when he puts it on and it doesn't work
And he's screaming, there's one part,
I swear to God he's doing a leather face impression.
I thought this was funny.
It's so fucking funny.
mask on and just pretending it works. Yeah. Oh man. I really love it. Um, so he, he decides to just go
meet Cameron Diaz's character, uh, at this park, um, you know, not wearing the mask, but doing the,
like, oh, I'll introduce you to the mask right now. Kind of, you know, he's right behind this
bush kind of a thing. Peter Parker talking about his best friend Spider-Man. Yes, exactly. And very,
Clark Kent Superman as well. Like, oh, he's right over there.
he tells as Stanley Ipkis he tells
Cameron Diaz that he was college
buddies with the mask
and is like doing a real like oh I taught him
everything he knows like I taught him out of dance
and whatever
the mask comes out playing a Frenchman
here because he's a fucking loser
with the cartoons he has to do a fucking
peppy le pew thing
yeah this is I mean this is some real
adult shit though he's like oh
I will show you my croissant
I will spread your patte
And you're just like, wow.
I mean, I wouldn't call it adult, but yeah.
I mean, I get it.
I'm going to spread your paté?
Because the question's not going to believe what's a penis, what's a vagina?
It's going to be, what is paté?
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, these are some adult jokes, my friends.
You don't need to say the actual body parts to understand the references.
No, for sure.
But it's immature is what I'm saying.
Yeah.
And I don't think the kids are like, oh, that's a sex thing.
I think they're just like, oh, that's fine.
funny words that the funny man is saying.
Yes. We meet,
we see again, just a little
bit of Amy Asbeck, like working
at the newspaper here with this other
reporter Murray.
And this guy was
the best friend's dad on
Boy Meets World. Do you remember that guy?
Sean's dad. Yes, Sean's
dad. They kill him off with a heart attack at one point.
It was fucking devastating. Never saw it.
Oh, any of Boy Meets World?
No, I never, never tuned in.
It's fine.
you're not really missing anything you're missing the
the lesser savage going to
work on that show but
she winds up she got a hot tip
that the mask is in the park so she
wants to go get him
and she goes out and this is
when like he's doing a lot of people
abuse stuff but it's very
it's a bit like it's aggressive
and like Cameron Diaz plays it right she's like
grossed out by the mask at this point
it's the only time in the movie where anyone has a
fucking realistic reaction to the mask
she's like oh this is disgusting
yes and it's kind of freaking out and everything and then this is where peter regert comes in he's busted right here
and the mask does some masking with with regert and uh doyle is this the like freeze and then he turns
into ice yeah he did yeah we do the freeze there's the fucking hilarious okay unfreeze yeah a little bit
about what did i tell you you know he froze he turned into ice and he was unmasked very unfairly
by the way.
They're doing the gag where
like he's like a regert
gets him handcuffed and then like
he's having the like patrol cops
take stuff out of his pockets
and it's like you know a rubber chicken
here's a bazooka.
Nothing but knives and lint.
And he goes yeah and he goes
the fucking funniest thing is a picture
of Calloway's wife and it's
this woman it's a picture of a woman like
sexually posing and it's like
call me sometime lover or something like
Oh, another funny joke.
Mainly made funnier, or as funny as it is, because of Peter Rieger's reaction to it.
Margaret, you son of a bitch.
So the mask, you know, takes care of these dudes.
I think he handcuffs the two of them together, and then he leaves the park, and this is the big Cuban Pete number.
Now, the Cuban Pete thing is taking place out in the city street, and there's like a movie theater right here.
Did anybody catch the poster?
Surf Ninjas? Yes, I think it is
Surf Ninjas. I'm pretty sure it's Surf Ninjas.
Okay, I thought, I was looking at it and I was like, is that
the Surf Ninjas poster? All right,
excellent. Excellent that Surf Ninjas
has presence in this movie. It got
distribution in Edge City.
That's where it opened. That's where the premiere was.
But yeah, the Cuban Pete number, yeah.
The Cuban Pete number, it's kind of fun.
It's definitely fun. It's fucking great. There's a lot of
awesome choreography here. And Jim Carrey
is in the choreography himself.
And this was the scene where I rewatching it just now, I was really like, you know what,
despite what anyone may think of this movie, this is a hell of a performance.
It's fun.
Because, like, he just had to have been exhausted the entire time.
He is giving it his all.
And it makes for like a real charming movie, in my opinion.
Yes, I agree.
I mean, he's going all out with these.
Like, anything that anyone is doing physically in this movie,
Jim Carrey is topping them
at least tenfold. Yes.
It's wild. And like in no greater
example, I think, than in this Cuban Pete number
where he is just fucking going
to town. He's dancing on the cop car.
You know, he's dancing, he grabs the
one cop, you know, and he's
dancing with her because she's like magically
singing along to the
Cuban Pete song and everything.
It's just a spectacular
scene in this movie. I have to say
when he does, because he does the Cuban
Pete thing, and they handcuff
Doyle and this is where
the Doyle happens.
And when he takes off the mask
I was really like,
it's unsettling in a really good way
I think. Like it really looks
correct. It's like some body horror
shit dude. It's like nose and
eyelids are sticking to it. It's a lot
of effects and it does, but it doesn't look
bad. Like it's an effect's heavy
shot and it really, they did it really well
I think. And this is, I think this movie's
effects benefit from the fact that it's
really okay and all the
better, the more cartoon-y
they look. Yeah. Yeah, exactly, because
you're portraying a cartoon and
it's easier to make a cartoon look like a
cartoon than a cartoon to look like
I don't know, Peter Cushing.
Oh, someone
stop me.
The Tarkin mask, dude.
Oh, my God. Yeah, that'd be
fucking great. You don't know. You knew.
So,
he takes the mask off. It's bone chilling.
the cops are right there but he gets picked up by Peggy
Amy Yazbek and she drives him away
there's a totally pointless
ADR right here where she just yells seatbelts
for no reason
that's not funny it's just
this whole thing like kind of comes to nothing
she goes she disappears after this scene
yeah do you know why she disappears after the scene
no I think they fucking killed her probably
yeah in the deleted scenes she gets murdered in this scene
Dorian as the mask throws her
into the newspaper printing machine
and she gets ground up
we need these deleted scenes of this movie
and what's funny he says like
oh yeah you'll you know
you'll finally make the front page or whatever
and then it segues into
funny enough an image of her falling into the thing
and it says like reporter
mysteriously murdered or whatever
whoa so even Uber Dorian has a sense of humor
and they cut it because they
expected like oh this would be a good character
to bring back in the sequel.
Oh, what the crooked reporter?
Who cares? Yeah, let her die.
I would think they would kind of just, again,
for the kid element, like, that's a little too dark kind of thing to murder her.
You know, but, you know, and I get it.
I, you know, obviously it's all about financials and box office.
I just wish we lived in a society where not everything had to be for shit-eating children.
Because what you're telling me of all of these deleted scenes are making up for a more interesting movie.
I think this movie is totally fine
but if you keep that in
instead of just allowing this character to vanish
from the film
that's better
it makes more sense
I will say that one of the biggest selling point
is the runtime for this one
this movie moves
like real quick
yeah so she fucking you know she's in it
because Dorian there's some
throwaway scene where he's like
$50,000 to whoever
you know brings me the mask or whatever
and she's like oh sorry
Stanley but you know how hard
it is to get an apartment in the city
or she's like, I needed this
for condo money. I mean,
it makes sense, right? We were just complaining
you could never live alone. That's true.
That's true. Amy Asbeck wants to live
alone. Too bad she is murdered
off screen, which we definitely should have seen.
Oh, she'll live alone in hell.
Yes, I'm new to hell.
I'm wondering if I'd be able to get a single.
Is there a studio? Oh.
I'm a big wings fan.
Right this way.
Oh, you'll have to share a room with Stephen Weber
because I always wanted you two to get together.
Yeah, this is that I came from a single white female.
How are you doing there, Amy?
Is he murdered in that movie?
Oh, he gets it in that movie, dude.
Ah, it's been a real long time since I've seen it.
So Dorian gets the mask, he puts it on,
and as Steve, credit to you, he becomes super shredder.
It's stupid.
This thing is, you have to have faith in the guy doing it.
It's like, if you hire Peter Green, I want to see Peter Green do the mask.
I don't know what that looks like.
It's probably unsettling, but I want to see that.
Not just some big bodybuilder guy and it was a modulated voice.
This is a different guy then, right?
Oh, yeah, it's a huge.
Oh, this guy looks like Lou Ferrigna.
No, it's definitely a different guy.
It's got a tomato can for a neck.
He looks like Andrew Cuomo.
He does.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, he kind of does.
I have, I am currently wearing.
contact lenses and some skin cream to hide the fact that I have blistering red eyes and a green
complexion. He also kind of looks like Robert Davy a bit. Yeah. A little bit. Well, no, actually
funny thing, Robert Davy in some of them, their maniac cop movies, he looks like maniac cop. Yeah,
yeah. This head is the head and chin of what's his face, that dead guy. Robert Zedar. Robert Zedar. Yeah,
exactly yeah i mean the thing is with with with robert davy like he's got a big honk and
knows that this this mask does not that's a good point and he's doing you know he's just got the
modulated devil voice and like peter green is just pretty much out of the movie until the last
scene kind of a thing yeah and uh this is when they they give them they give the police the mask
which is stanley ipkis with a and it's it always bothered me as a kid like it's just a shitty green
like masks like that's the mask
no it's not it's a funny
way to like try to wrap this up
and frame them yeah it is kind of
great I mean because they do have I think
it's Rieger it's got a line right here like
Stanley Ipkis is gonna fall right
in my lap and then like the goons
drive by and throw
Jim Carrey out of
the car with this garbage mask
on or whatever I like in the original edit how
the idea was like okay so this reporter
turns him in 50 grand
here you go wait we're going to take that back and just
kill you. Why don't just kill Stanley
Ipkins? Yes, that's a great question.
Like, why? You know, I guess
it's the idea of like, oh, if they think that
they've captured the mask, then they're
not going to be looking for them anymore.
And now Uber masks, such
as he is, Dorian can run around.
You're not worried about fucking Doyle at this
point, though, man. Like, just fucking kill
this guy. Yeah, they should
both be just fucking thrown into that printing
press. You're going to go to this Mickey Mouse jail?
Not a big problem, dude.
Yeah, exactly. And, you know, you're right.
Steve, this does bogged down a little bit here.
He's in this jail cell for an awful long time.
He's, like, upset, and, you know,
Carmen Diaz comes to say
goodbye to him, because she's going to skip town.
They have one more scene, and she's,
it's a nice scene enough where she's like,
you know, I liked you more than I liked the mask,
kind of a thing. Right. They
almost, it's kind of funny because it's like the second
time in the movie they're about to kiss and then get
interrupted. This is mostly to
give you more time with the,
our greatest dead actor,
uh, this dog.
I thought you're going to say
Peter Cushley
Like this dog
It's a lot of the dog
Being sad
That he can't be with Jim Carrey
It is fucking devastating dude
And he's doing like the
You know like go on
You go find someplace else to live now
And this dog
Lays down in that alley
Like I will wait for you
And let me tell you
I didn't cry or anything
But I was like
This is just devastating
Like this
And it's just a credit
To Max the dog
Oh that's dog
the way the dog looks up like he's looking at the jail cell window oh that's hard that's good dude that's lucky because we have uh in our we hit movies contracts if you cry at the mask you're instantly off the show so thankfully we just dodged a bullet you just really mask clause yeah that's why i didn't cry at doom i just knew it was in the contract so i know i had to avoid that there's a lot of weird rules in that contract it is we signed it a long time ago and some of them are unfair but they are what they are it was one of those things where we got really wasted and we
made that whole thing up. And then the next morning it was
like, wow, that was funny. And then it was like, oh, this is
all legally binding now.
That's why every
episode I'm sitting here with a fucking huge
bowl of yellow M&S.
Can't laugh at Schindler's list. Why
would I want to?
Chris,
the fact that you even brought that up means you want
to, you sick, fuck.
So,
you know, whatever
here. You know, Dorian is like, we're going to
like strike the club kind of a thing.
he also sends
goons for Tina
this is Cameron Diaz's character
right when she leaves the jail
you know so they kind of kidnap her again
there is a fucking great moment here though
where it's Jim Carrey
in the jail cell
putting a bunch of toilet paper on the seat
in the toilet seat in the jail cell
because he's going to take his shit and then like
it's a great touch it's all just interrupted
by Cameron Diaz screaming like down
the street being chased by these dudes but it is so
because he is like meticulously layering paper paper toilet paper like on the seat oh god it's
great yeah and he uh this is when the dog shows up he gets the dog to jump into the set
the window because the guard fell asleep which is it's fine it's fun at this point i don't care
anymore i kind of agree i do like stanley ibke's fucking pistol whipping this cop though it's
kind of hilarious and then he takes uh calloway like as his prisoner but he uses regert to like
you know get him out of the
because Rieger's like you're not going to get out of here
this is a police station he's like oh right
you're going to take me out of here kind of a thing
we go to the Coco Bongo
for the casino night fundraiser
for what we're told is just
war orphans
that got a laugh out of me
that was pretty funny and this is when
Dorian shows up and he murders
Nico it's kind of cool
he gets shot with a bunch of bullets
and then his mouth turns into a gun
kind of a thing yeah like he
opens his mouth and it's like all the bullets
are inside and he spits him
back and murders this old
man which it would have been awesome
if you take a note from fucking
Batman and you have all this happen
way earlier in the movie. You kind of forget
this guy's even around. You're like oh they killed
Nico. All right
well on with the movie. Who's that
was that like the is that one of the auto mechanics
because I figured they'd be dead after that.
Yeah dude you can't
have a fucking tailpipe shoved up your asshole
like that and lived to tell the tail.
at least your digestive system is fucked
forever. Yeah. You're eating out of
the tail, by the way, the tailpipe.
Yeah, all right.
One of the
henchmen around here, by the way, I think
it's literally crediting him as
henchman number seven.
Is that dude, Kevin
Greivu? A girl, yes.
Underworld, and he's been in a thousand
things, a lot stunt work and stuff.
He sounds like the devil himself.
He was in steel, I believe.
Yes, that sounds right.
Is he in steel?
Who does he play in Steele? Do you remember?
The dude sounds like the devil.
Like he's just got this enormous deep voice.
Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he does have a super deep voice.
Good for playing a werewolf, I think.
The one good thing about I found in Edge City is when they're driving to this club,
uh, Stan, Ipkis and Regert, uh, is there is a tower records in the background.
Yes.
Oh, really?
It's the only bit of placement I really noticed.
What a, uh, Doyle is eating McDonald's at one point.
Oh, he is okay.
Oh, uh, so Cabin,
I'm curious now because they filmed
this movie in L.A.
Is it the same tower records we see
on Melrose's place all the time?
I don't think so, actually.
Okay, okay. I like the McDonald's guy
being like, oh, cool, so you're going to have
awesome, you're going to have McDonald's
in the movie, that's great. So Jim's going to have
a cheeseburger? No, Jim's
not going to have it. Okay, is it Jim as the
mask? Would be the villains? No.
Oh, Cameron Dia. Well, you got
this big fat sidekick, you see.
and he's stupid
so he's eating your product
would you like to try our
smoking mesquite barbecue sauce
oh yes please
see that that's dude
you're right cabin the McRib comes back
and it's smoking mesquite barbecue sauce
for a mask tie-in
that's a good question was there a tie-in for this movie
or no you would think there would be
well it's new line
so maybe not
I don't yeah I don't know that's a good question
I don't remember any
But so, yeah, the mask comes back here.
You know, there is a great line where he says to the dog,
Daddy's going to have to go kick some ass.
And then he, like, twirls Peter Rieger's, like, revolver that he's got as he gets out of the car.
It's kind of another funny, like, totally throwaway Jim Carrey physicality move, but I love it.
Then he enlists Richard Jenny as well to, like, help get people out of the club.
Oh, that's the best part is he fucking give him.
is Richard Jenny a pistol and he's like
here's this gun. Help
safely escort people out of this
club. No thanks.
Yeah, I'll pass. I have another
fucking love safari to go on.
This is
so Dorian has
Tina here, Cameron Diaz
tied up to a pole
or a fake palm tree or something
in the club and there's a bomb attached
to her leg and this is the fucking creeptacular
there's always time
for one last kiss.
I think you mean, there's always time for one last kiss.
It is quite the delivery.
It's weird.
It's something else.
It's not in this movie.
I don't know why it is, but it's in this movie.
I mean, like, I think Tim Curry has that exact line in legend.
And he fucking looks the same too.
So, yeah, I mean, whatever.
The fucking dog is the hero of this film.
He comes in because what happens to Cameron Diaz is like,
hey man I want to kiss Dorian
the guy used to love I don't want to kiss this
Uber fucking mask guy
here so he takes the mask
off and then this is where Cameron Diaz
kicks it and you know
Milo the dog comes and you know grabs it
I gotta say one of the biggest
applause moments in my
theater going experience
is when this mask goes on this dog
the fucking theater went
nuts
oh wow
nuts that's incredible
I did see this in theaters but I
do not remember what the reaction
was to Milo. You both saw this
in theaters and we're saying it's not a children's
movie. Well, that's what, that's, I'm not
saying it was in a children's movie. That's, that guy's
deal. Just because I saw it
as a child doesn't mean it's a
children's movie. That's also true. I saw Terminator 2
and Mike Lerner. I think around the same time I saw
fucking Friday the 13th part six
is at the same age. Is that a children's movie?
Yes. Uh-huh. That's
I mean, the dog getting the mask is on
like the other side of the
of the wavelength from
when Claire Dane starts crying
at the end of Romeo and Juliet.
What?
It's like great,
like the difference is like there's this big,
I was in like a theater just like yours, Steve,
like laughing,
woohoo, it's like all this.
Whereas comparatively when I saw Romeo and Julia
and Claire Dane starts crying at the end,
like oceans of tears.
Oh really?
People freaked out in the theater.
Everybody was like sobbing,
not just like a couple little tears,
like like blowing their nose.
You've got to get out and be like,
What did you people expect?
That's one of the fucking oldest things ever.
You know the ending.
I've never heard so many people cry in a theater in my life.
That is the funniest fucking thing.
So as Milo has the mascot and he's like, you know,
wreaking havoc on a lot of these henchmen and everything,
Jim Carrey runs up to Dorian and, you know,
starts fighting him and everything.
And now here's a question I had.
Am I just remembering it for this movie?
or are there multiple Jim Carrey movies
where he's doing the
I'm really punching this person
in the face a bunch of times
because that's the gag here
where he's really just slugging this guy
and like screaming and everything while he's doing it
and I was like ah
did I also at one point see Ace Ventura do a similar
gag or is that just from this movie?
I don't recall Senator
gotcha I feel like that is familiar
so I think Jim Carrey's done that before
okay I wasn't sure
follow-up question, is this
actual urine coming out of a dog's
actual penis right here?
Is this a puppet? I think the whole
dick is CGI as well.
You think this dog's penis is CGI?
That dog's walking. He's
all natural. Yeah, I guess
maybe you're right. I don't know.
But you don't want a dog pissing on
set. Yeah, I mean,
you definitely don't. It depends on
the type of movie you're making. You're right.
It's not a children's movie after all.
Oh, you want a dog who pisses, I got a dog to do that.
You want the dog to piss on her?
The director who brought us the blob and nightmare on Elm Street 3,
I could see dog pissing on the set.
It, you know, it is fucking funny.
He pisses right and not Chris Elliott's face, which I enjoyed.
So, you know, I mean, the big standoff here at the end of the movie is Jim Carrey,
you know, the mask goes flying behind the bar.
They're all firing wildly at stake.
Nipkis and you know he jumps over the counter and everything and there's the big delay of like all right
when's he gonna pop out as the mask kind of a thing you obviously didn't murder this and it's also been like
about a half hour since we've seen the mask as well yeah yeah you're absolutely right the
thing I fucking bought a ticket for and it was stuck on Peter Green's face the whole time
but you know and then this is he's you know doing the dirty um hairy impression right here
he's and he's got the big super gun a super duper gun
Now, and he's dressed as a mobster now as well, so he's really getting into it.
Yeah, exactly.
This and the big horn were your special attacks in the video game.
Oh.
Just so everybody knows.
The big horn at the beginning, the Auga.
Oh, when the guy like honks at him in the street and it's like press very gently.
Well, that was the mask going a little too far.
The guy was just honking his horn.
Like, it doesn't need to be deaf for the rest of his life.
The mask.
Okay.
Fuck that guy.
I think the mask showed incredible restraint there.
Yeah.
He should have shoved a fucking piece of his car up his ass.
Was that a special attack in the game, Chris?
Yes, it was, actually.
Maybe, you know, if he made that in his calling card,
they could just start calling him the tail piper.
Oh, the tail piper robbed that bank.
Look at that security guards.
Now I'm thinking of Batman 89 again with this whole town needs an animal.
Oh.
Maybe that's what they call instead of the mask is the animal.
because he only perpetrates
ass crime
this enema
comes with the
god Loki in it
something should have
shoved up Benstein's ass
my book
the asses we wear
was a metaphor
Steve you're right
somebody should shove something
at Benstein's ass
sure they have
or pull the stick out of it
either or I don't know what's going on
down there
So, yeah, whatever.
He fucking eats the bomb, does a, that's a spicy meat to ball joke.
He flushes the villain down.
I feel like that's a spicy meat to ball was another one that was screamed.
Oh, yes.
That was that fucking fat kid in my school loved it.
Did he?
Oh, did he really scream that's a spicy meat to ball?
Absolutely.
This kid was a son of a bitch.
Wow.
And this kid was heavy, you said.
Yes.
I'm asking because my mask kid was very thin.
Oh, interesting.
I had mask envy because I'm like, he's pulling it off.
He's fucking Ipkins over there.
Miss me off as a little fat kid. I was like, oh, that's the popular kid.
And I was like, that kid's a fucking hack.
You know what I mean? Like, then you really showed him up, dude?
Well, no, I didn't. I was a coward and I was being bullied constantly.
But I was just like, I'm funnier than that kid.
And look at you now, dude. Where's that kid?
Nowhere.
Oh, yeah.
He's, uh, yeah, he flushes Dorian right here.
This is the most cartoonish out of anything, I think, is him getting the painter's palette and
painting the flush handle on
the tree. It's fucking
great, man. And he just flushes this
dude down a fountain that's
in the club. It's so funny.
It's funny. I mean, that's
kind of what you think of your villain, right? Like, I just
flush him down the toilet. I don't know.
I don't know how to end this movie.
Just flushing him down the toilet.
Yeah. I would have been fucking,
I would have been fucking flushing
things left and right. If I knew I had that
power. Yeah, have I had this flush
capacity? Absolutely.
I've been flushing a lot lately in quarantine.
have you really expand on that
well
Danny likes to eat
I do like when Peter Rieger
it's like leaving this fucking club
and the mayor he runs into the mayor
and he's like watch it chunky
totally oh man it's a fucking
that he realized it's the mayor and he's like
oh no and he's like well we caught
the mask at Stanley Ipkis and the mayor's like
no it was Dorian I saw it
which is great cover for ifkis
by the way has anybody
know the name of the actor who plays
the mayor?
No, I didn't look at it. The most
Prague rock band name I've ever heard
in my life. Ivory Ocean.
Nice, dude. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, like the, the, uh, the band is ivory
and the album is Ocean.
Open it up for Camel.
I would go to that.
I would go to that show. Oh, looks like we
lost Ivory Ocean in 2011.
Oh, no. He was also in, credited as
guard ivory in, uh, lost
Highway.
He was also in...
I watched the mask this weekend
and I loved the guy that
played the mayor.
We got to
do Lost Highway on WLM
sometime. We will. Totally.
If Robert Blake got the mask
lookout. Oh, fuck.
He'd murder so many of his ex-wives.
I mean, he's already at your house
while at
this party. What could he be doing with the
mask on you? It would be insane.
At least you could get some zingers while he's doing it.
This dude also joined
Lou Diamond Phillips in
the only narrative that Errol Moore's
ever directed, The Dark Wind.
You've never seen it. Which also,
it's not good. Which also
stars or co-stars
in some role, that dude Blake
Clark, who was in this movie as
the reporter and Sean's dad on Boy Meets World. How about that?
Small world, everybody.
Ivory Ocean. Rest in peace.
Mayor Tilton
he's credited in this movie
So I mean, you know, that's pretty much
The end of it, you know
Cameron Diaz is now
You know, with Stan Ipkiss
She and Richard Jenny are driving in a convertible
With Ipkis to toss the mask
Over the Bridge again
I don't know who asked
I guess Kevin Richard Jenny tested well
I have no idea what he's doing
In this ending of this movie
It's he's got no business here
Aside from this lame sequel setup man
You know like
You know so
So Jim Carrey's like, you know, oh, you know, Tina, are you sure about this?
You know, and it's actually Cameron Diaz that takes the mask and throws it into the river.
And then, yeah, dude, just Richard Jenny and this dog racing to get the mask.
Come on.
It's embarrassing.
Yeah, they just jump into the fucking water.
It's crazy.
And of course, Milo, the dog gets it before Richard Jenny.
And he goes, Milo!
He beats him to the punch.
And then speaking of, man, I could not, I do not remember, remember.
this, but boy, this movie just ends on
a freeze frame of the two of them kissing. Yeah.
He says smoking. Yeah, he does.
He does. It's not as the mask. Yeah.
And it's a freeze frame on making out.
We learn that regular people can say
smoke it.
Even for the normies. And that's what
empowered the fucking mask kid, guys.
That's what empowered them. Yeah.
They were going to get a camera
camera Diaz of their own someday.
Exactly.
Prayers up for all the mask
kids out there.
That is the end of the movie,
the mask for the continuing adventures of this haunted mask see son of the mask or don't that's
real real quick if you if anyone out there's got an interesting the mask kid story yes to the
mailbag we all hate movies at gmail.com and maybe we'll just read it on the air there you go
would anybody recommend the mask by the way steve say that i would not and i feel like i might be
alone here uh i've seen this would be a trillion times like i i'm glad that
that I saw it, but I can't imagine
going out in the cold lighted day
in 2020 telling you a gentle
listener to go watch the mask.
It's a, I still get a lot
out of it. I think Carrie is very good
here without him. There's not much.
It's just, it's kind of a messy
grading film for me, personally. That's where I'm at.
Eric Siska.
I'm going to say, go see
the mask in this cold light of
2020. I, I,
I think it held up more than I expected it to.
And I think it's really just Jim Carrey's, like, star power.
You know, like his performance, he's really giving it at his all.
And it is just absolutely fun to watch.
And I'm a sucker for it.
So, yeah, I like the movie.
That's all right.
It's okay to feel that way.
How about Chris Cabo?
Oh, absolutely recommend.
I mean, A, I would feel like a turncoat if I didn't.
Oh, wow, shots fired.
I spent my childhood
fucking obsessed with this movie
and like yeah
it's one of the few movies
I've come back to where I wasn't like
screaming about like oh that's a terrible
thing you just said oh that's a terrible
oh no sure
it's not problematic at all
no no no and like
you know the thing is is like yes it is built
around completely around Jim Carrey
but Jim Carrey is in it a lot
yeah and I get a lot of Jim Carrey out of it
and whereas like now I look
I try to watch Ace Ventura again
and I'm like
oh oh yeah
like this this is a little bit and like I can only watch dumb and dumber so many times I guess that's the thing is for me it's like the move is go to dumb and dumber it's really just like straight to dumb and dumber yeah I mean and Jeff Daniels is incredible in that movie so that yes that is the best of the Carrie movies I would say that aren't like the Truman show and like serious stuff like Eternal Sunshine but yeah like I and not the graphics are good yeah I just I like this movie and it is a bomb in 2020 for me it's a what a bomb?
You know, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb.
Wait, you said the ball.
B-A-L-M or B-O-M-B.
B-A-L-M.
Thank you.
So not B-O-N-G.
That was me watching it this week.
Yeah, that was just you.
That was just you.
Okay, got you.
I would have been right there with you this morning, Eric,
but I had phone meetings to do so I could not participate.
I would recommend this movie, after all, is said and done.
I think one of the big pluses to revisit an old property like this from, you know,
the year, the early
90s, the fact that there's nothing in this
that you're watching it and you're like, well, that
hits like a thud right now.
You know, like, I was super impressed
by that. I really couldn't believe it.
And I think also just for
you know,
younger audiences out there, you know,
for folks that are like, oh, the guy from
Sonic the Hedgehog or the
kick ass guy or Mr. Popper's
penguins or a Christmas
Carol or maybe your
parents really love the number 23.
The Grinch.
Grinch.
Yeah, that's true.
Lemony Snicket
where he's fucking
Count Olaf in that movie,
all that shit.
Now are you just naming all these
like he makes me even rank
this movie higher.
Yeah, I mean,
it's just,
it's a movie that it's a,
you can really see this guy
at the height of his powers.
And I really think that he's a total genius.
He's a total comedic genius.
And just to showcase that in this movie,
all the,
you know,
the sort of non-emotion
that I felt after,
watching it now and just realized like I was just
burned out on this movie. I don't know.
I think actually talking about it right now sort of
revitalized me a little bit in that department
but like this guy is just
he's so much better than the Grinch and I think
this is a prime
you know example of that. So I
would totally recommend it also.
Maybe it's a thing where the acid of
the catchphrases just burns through my
brain and I can't get past them.
I you know and I completely
understand that. You know
I had several of them
in my school. I had
a very close friend
who we didn't go to the same school
but he fucking
loved this shit and it was
like constant.
Yeah, fans of movies can ruin movies.
That's for sure. See Star Wars
for an example. As a
borderline mask kid
who did indeed go as the mask
for a Halloween once and I did
indeed. Pictures or it didn't happen.
There are pictures. I don't know where they are.
I'm not saying you need to
share them publicly or anything. I just need that
on our text chain at some point. Baby,
you know, lose the heroes. Get with the zeros.
But I think that is going to do it for our convo
on the mask. Now, of course, if you want more We Hate Movies,
including a soon-to-be-released episode on The Mask
Cartoon on Animation Damination, be sure to check out
our Patreon. And that, of course, is patreon.com slash we hate movies.
A lot of bonus stuff out there for this month of July,
which we are in right now.
What else do we have coming out this month?
We've got a banger of a We Love movies episode on Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Oh, right.
Now, we did record that already.
That was a lot of fun reminiscing about another movie from childhood, of course.
I was super fun, and it's a long episode, and I think people are going to really love that.
And not only that on the Gleap Gloucestry, we've got Bib Fortuna.
As Senator Seda, can I ask you, since Raiders of the Lost Ark, is that now technically
Indiana Jones won?
Do not. Don't do that.
You know what? I would prefer for everything
was Raiders, Colin.
Yes, exactly. Raiders of the Temple of Doom,
Raiders of the Last Crusade.
Raiders of the Crystal Skull. That's the move.
That is what he's doing. He's just raiding
all of these places to find those things.
We also, by the way, are
redropping on our Patreon the sucker punchmentary
sometime this month. That's going to be super
exciting. That's right.
Steve say that, because I know a ton
of folks have been asking about the situation
there. Do you want to fill folks in on the
technically right now unavailable
earlier we hate movies commentaries?
For the next three months,
we're going to be dropping them once a month.
Sucker punchmentary, then the
Nemesis Mentory, the Star Trek nemesis
commentary. And then our absolutely, and then
in September, our very first
commentary ever, which
was Chud, which will be super exciting.
Ooh, yeah, and I just, I just went
back through that Chud commentary. It's a good
time, so you're going to want to catch that on the Patreon.
So you might want to just stay a patron for at least three or four months, you know, just
go through, write it out.
Or three or four years.
Yeah, also years would be good.
By the way, speaking of money and or money going places, all proceeds from our merch sales
on our T-Public store, which you can find at WHModcast.com, go to Black Lives Matter and
Black Lives Matter related charities, charities that are trying to combat racial injustice and police brutality.
So if you go to WHMpodcast.com, you'll get a link that's, you can.
they're going to take it to the tea public store or you can just go directly and donate to
Act Blue which is a link between about 11 charities that rule that we're that's going to be all of
2020 before and all the way to the end if there is an end and and that's right and by the way just
a big thanks for the folks who have kicked into that already it's been going really well
we had a big response off of the can't hardly wait watch party what we did a couple weeks ago
a lot of folks were you know donating and kicking in during that time so keep it up we're
really appreciative of that.
And as always here in We Hate Movies,
the show rose on, the main feed
continues chugging along, Steve Sadek.
The summer blockbuster extravaganza, as we know it,
is still happening.
So what do we got going on next week?
Oh, we are just stuck in an airport, you guys.
We got nowhere else to go because it's the terminal.
Oh, God.
This one might break us.
I'm not sure.
Catch up.
I don't know.
I mean, like, being quarantined and not being in a terrific mood most of the time,
having to watch the terminal?
I don't know. Okay.
I'm excited. All right. He's excited.
I haven't seen it since it came out and I remember it being a very funny movie in a bad way.
Anyway, we'll see what happened.
I miss Burger King the movie. I really do.
I, you know, I saw that movie one time in the theater.
I did not care for it.
And I also, you know, aside from quarantine and the movie is about a due to us to live in one place for an extended period of time,
which when you watch it feels like
he's living there for 12 years
it also sucks that it's going to be
a bunch of airport footage and we miss being
on tour, we miss traveling to see folks
I think this one might break me
I think this dumb fucking
terminal movie might break it.
We'll find out next week.
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
So until next week with
the terminal. I'm Andrew Jufin.
Steven Sadek. Eric Siska.
Chris Cabin. Take it easy.
That was a hate-gum podcast.
