Hello,
Hello, everyone. Welcome to We Hate Movies. Thank you for tuning in, as always.
too of some of the worst of
2020. And this week, good
gravy. We are talking about Doolittle, written
and directed by Stephen Gagin,
who you want working on this movie,
known as the writer and director
of Sireana, another children's favorite.
The darkest movie about
the oil trade ever made, and Doolittle.
That's your fucking resume.
I could have used someone getting their fingers
ripped out in this movie. I was just
going to say, dude, and fucking Robert Dedy
is ripping this little kid's fingernails off.
He might as well this little fucking
snow away i mean i think i've said it before disgusting shit boy but this is like the british
variance so it's disgusting disgusting shit lad yes oh it's me a disgusting shit lad can i join you
dr lulu oh i love the dumps don't i oh look at this i'm listening to animals
i i i was bummed because the movie starts not the movie we we starts the cartoon but the movie starts
his parent his dad who's played by a Steve Siddick favorite Ralph Inneson who sounds
exactly like if the devil were British and drunk yeah I love Ralph it is this
guy Benin he's the dad from the witch he's also in and the OG the OG witch or
the fucking new one that came out or is that the witches oh though that witch the
we call it the double witch the double the witch oh that guy okay oh thomas and oh no
thomas and woe you dodg oh he's also in uh what do you call their money or that hurricane
heist he's in the boy too uh oh oh wow a storied career oh is he the shithead uncle and ready player one
yeah yeah okay dude loves playing abusive parents yeah he is in do do little i got to say if the
This whole movie was made like this animated opening.
We're already on track for a better movie.
Well, my first note is this should be an eight-minute cartoon.
Like, that's it.
Just give you a fucking...
An old school, Warner Brothers, eight-minute cartoon, we're done.
I shovel this in with King Arthur and all that shit,
where, like, every eight years, they're like,
maybe we should try doing it again.
I don't know.
It's stupid.
Well, this had laid dormant since...
I mean, we had those two Eddie Murphy movies, and then there was a third one that was like a spin-off where it was his daughter.
It was like, Raymond Simone, right?
No, it was it?
No, it's like five or six of them.
It's younger.
It's not Raven-Simon.
Oh, okay.
Five or six of them.
Are you kidding me?
The daughter has like three movies.
I don't remember this even existing.
Eddie Murphy played Dr.
Doolittle?
Are you kidding?
Two movies.
Am I kidding?
No, I'm not kidding.
The first one was in 1998, dude.
and like it's it's the same thing as this
where like they just got a shit ton
of celebrities to do all these voices
so you got like I believe
Peter Boyle was in that movie
I don't know
it's a much much better people
a much much better movie that I mean
yeah I mean it's actual animals
for the most part which is nice
I got to say that's what's nice
about Dr. Doolittle what did Peter
Boyle do in that movie? I have a fucking
chimpanzee and I think
no I think Peter Boyle might be a person
Oh, okay. I'm on the IMDB page for Dr. Doolittle 98. No, for some reason this missed me and I totally don't remember this, but it looks like at least that's, it looks like it's more contained, right? Like this is a family drama type of comedy type of thing. Because this was a, what do you call it there? That was like during the Eddie Murphy boom, 90s boom and like he could do no wrong. So it was also like you just revitalized the nutty professor like what other kind of franchises could you do?
I bet you they had, this opened up.
I bet you they had a King Arthur movie for him, too.
Oh, probably.
Ravens-Money is in the movie, by the way.
Yeah, she is.
She played the daughter in both those movies.
I'm trying to find these off-brand movies.
Chris was mentioning.
I can't seem to find them.
The third one, I got it on IMDB.
So the other actress, who is, it's just a different daughter.
Oh, okay.
He had multiple kids.
One was Raven-Simon, but then the other daughter,
or a other daughter, or how many kids he had in the movie,
was an actress named Kyla.
a Pratt who then goes on to do them.
So it's Dr. Doolittle 3 is where she takes over.
And then it's Dr.
Chris was right.
Dr. Doolittle tail to the chief.
So you better believe she's working in the White House.
Come on.
And then Dr. Doolittle, and this is 2009,
Dr. Doolittle, colon, million dollar muts.
Where it appears as if she gets,
she gets like famous for being able to talk to animals and she gets a TV show and becomes
famous about it.
By the way.
So there you go.
And Dr. Drew Little Two, at least.
I'm looking up. One Jeffrey Jones is in there.
Oh, eep.
Listen, Doc, whatever that monkey tells you is a lie.
Okay, that's a lying monkey.
Who you got to believe?
The monkey or the man?
Look, can a stick bug testify in court?
I don't think so.
Oh, man.
He can testify in the royal court in this movie, though.
I promise you there are no false walls in my house that lead to.
kidding porn dungeons i would rather watch dr do a little like you know up against some type of
uh porn distributor like that versus this fucking weak ass pirates in the caribbean knockoff
it's totally and it's just a nothing of a movie there's no engine there's no like actual
structure it just sort of happens and it's overweight everything feels forced yeah everything
like even robert dow junior is just like doing whatever
Well, that's, the problem he made was he realized that, you know, oh, I can't do another British character because that's going to be too similar to Sherlock Holmes.
So he tries to do this Welsh thing.
And he's choking on it the entire movie.
And it destroys his ability to do anything you might want to see him do, I think.
Am I crazy that this, am I the only one who thought this was like almost all ADR?
It never looks like he's actually saying what's being heard.
Well, I mean, I think because, I mean, one, you'd probably be surprised at the vast majority of movies that are like almost 100% ADR these days.
Sure.
But this is like, I think you're right, because what he's doing here, and Steve, you were getting to this is like he has to concentrate so hard on keeping this voice rained in to at least what he's doing that like he can't, it's like when when an actor in like a movie musical is like dancing, but they're not a really great dancer.
so they're constantly looking at their feet
and they can't pay attention to the rest of the scene.
Like that's what he's doing,
but he's just thinking about this accent
the whole fucking time.
So I think so much of it is like him just like garbling his mouth.
Like it just sounds,
I mean, Steve choking on it is the best way
to describe it because it sounds at parts
like he's just gasping for air in this movie.
It's a washing machine running in his mouth.
But I also have a sneaking suspicion
that some of these animals are ADR as well.
Oh, I bet that's true.
dude i've been if we dug into the production notes of this movie and you know and that's the
fucking problem man like all right cool you want to have a big fun movie with a bunch of fun
celebrities but like rami malick as a fucking gorilla look who in the world is just like hey honey
that's rami malick as a gorilla is that enhancing your experience of this film this is just like
when we mentioned i forget what we were talking about maybe one of the shrek movies that's like
you don't need rando celebrities
get real voice actors in that. Exactly.
John fucking Sina being like,
hi, I'm John Sina a bear
now. Great.
Dude. And it's like,
God damn it. Yeah. I mean, you're totally
right. It's none of these voices are people that you're
instantly like, oh,
it's not like fucking Gilbert
in Aladdin, right? Where you're watching
Aladdin and you're like, that's clearly Gilbert
Godfrey. That's like a thing.
And it's just to put other names
on the posters, right? It's just
Try to sell tickets or whatever, but it's so fucking terrible because a lot of these folks just are not voice actors.
Some of them, like I think Rami Malik is a good actor, but he's not a good voice actor.
He's also not doing, like he's also doing a voice right here.
You know what I mean?
So it's like it takes away from, you know, any kind of like, what am I saying?
Like recognition of these actors.
His voice is at least an interesting part of it about him as an actor, by the way.
like it's all physicality which is fine yep yes but uh his face too i mean yeah exactly but
like also to your point about like uh gilbert in aladdin like you are looking at something
that's amazing like the two the animation in latin is incredible you're looking at photo
realistic talking animals in this and it looks like shit so all you notice is the fucking voice
and you're just like why am i here you know i got i didn't really recognize any of these guys voices
well a few of them until the end credits and then when I saw that I was like okay now who played that dog I think it was probably like a nice old British nanny oh Tom Holland oh yeah spider man spider man is the dog and what they're doing also because like there's also just like no real script here and you're trying to just like remind the audience at all times how many animals are on this adventure and so what they do is just like randomly cut to these
computer animals and have
the actor just say something that's kind
of not kind of it is
100% inconsequential
to furthering the story along most
noticeably with Craig Robinson's character
the little squirrel like it just
cuts to this squirrel and it's just Craig Robinson
says a thing that sort of relates to the scene
but not really and then just cuts back and I'm like
I understand the squirrel is with them stop
cutting to this fucking animal well I mean
clearly what I mean not even clearly like
really what happened was this movie was
made to be a comedy and then they realized
oh shit Stephen Gagan the
fucking Syrian and traffic
guy is doing it and
the cut didn't work and they had to
go back and they did like 21 days of reshoots
and had like different people writing
different people directing the whole fucking thing
and it's just fucking it's a turducket
of a film yes it really is
and I do think the Craig Robinson
character of Kevin the
squirrel yeah is probably the most
effective comedic relief yes I was
laughing at some of Craig Robinson's
jokes as opposed to literally everything else in this film. I mean, even like 80 minutes into this
movie, they are still making characters be amazed that he can talk to fucking animals. And I'm
like, this was the first five minutes, you idiots. I will say I'm glad that at least we start.
I mean, there's either one or two tropes you can go in this direction. Like, well, his first
adventure or he's hung it all up. I'm actually glad with the always, he's hung it all up kind
of a starting point. Absolutely. Absolutely. I was like, oh, cool. He's like washed up.
up and shit. Like that kind of brings an interesting vibe to it. It also avoids a doctor
do little origin story, which I definitely do not need. Exactly. We sort of kind of cover that
in this opening cartoon narration with Emma Thompson, which man, I don't know how many fucking
golden toilets this lady needs, but you know, Chelsea said this too. Like she's got to learn to be
a little more selective. Like this is just her so loving it as this fucking parent. I mean, she has
I mean, she's gotten all the awards she ever would ever need.
I feel like she is just having fun now.
Like, fuck.
Was she having fun on last Christmas too?
That fucking piece of shit.
Yes, I think she was.
I absolutely do that late shift like all these.
I think she's just having fun for once.
And like, I don't know.
It seems like she's enjoying it at least.
Late night, I believe it's the movie.
Late night.
Late shift is the David Letterman Leno thing.
Last Christmas is horrendous.
It's really something.
Oh, I finally, I forgot that you guys finally watch the two this,
holiday season. Isn't it terrible?
And she's doing this Baltic exit.
Oh, no. They don't want us
in country because of Brexit.
Oh, me from former Yugoslavia.
Me kind of
shitty character.
I'm not crazy. She wrote that
too, right? She wrote that fucking movie, dude.
She wrote it. She wanted all of those
things that happened in that movie to happen, Chris.
That's amazing.
That's really, really amazing.
She woke up one day and said,
last Christmas doesn't exist
I'm going to will it in doing
wasn't there like a body swap with her in real life
with someone stupid or something
it's possible
I think you're right dude she can't find the fucking
artifact to get her back in her own body
all of a sudden Jenny McCarthy's going to become
this great actress
yeah
dude I was watching
Emmett Thompson on that weird MTV New Year's Eve thing
and she was just making fart noises
and talking about how she hates vaccines
you see that new Jenny McCarthy period
piece it's excellent she really gets there she gets there it's weird you know i didn't think they
need to you know remake the house of mirth but i guess they did it jennon mccarthy's amazing in it
she wishes this body swap happened uh so yeah we we are told things like you know dr doolittle
was gifted an animal sanctuary by the queen of england uh he's got a dead ass wife
named Lily who's lost at sea.
Interesting, like, famed widower
for something. You know, it's like I'm starting
up my do little movie. What do I know? Well, he likes
to sing and dance. Oh, he doesn't do that.
Apparently, he's got a dead wife
now. I really
thought, I was really
expecting her to come back at any moment
during this movie. Especially when they
get to this, like, fucking Pirates of the Caribbean
aisle at the end of it. I was like,
she's going to be shipwrecked
or something like that. I have to say,
a plus to this movie for leaving
this wife dead the entire time.
For sure.
Which I was genuinely
shocked about. And then
so yeah, we're introduced to this little kid. What's his name?
Pudding Face. What's his kid's?
Shat.
Stubbins. Stubbins.
It's really Stubbins. I'm not kidding.
I know. It's just hilarious
to hear it said by someone else.
Is that his full name? It's just Stubbins?
No, I think it's like Henry. Henry Stubbins, possibly.
Tommy. Tommy Stubbins.
Oh, Tommy.
Hello, Tommy Stuffins, you little, you little rat you.
Oh, Tommy Stubbins.
Oh, Tommy Stubbitts, you got any cold in your pockets?
And you got Ralph Fettis and be like, all right, boy, you're going to kill that squirrel.
We're going to all eat it.
We're going to eat a squirrel.
Yeah, stop waking off that gun and fire it.
Yeah, dude.
No, no, you can eat your fur, too.
Just gnaw on it.
Well, I think they're like duck or something, and then he accidentally.
shoots the squirrel who's played by Craig Robinson, which sort of sets the movie into place, I guess.
Right. He's like a kid who doesn't want to be out there hunting and everything. And they're like,
oh, you're going to shoot that duck, are you? You shoot that duck. And he kind of like just fires the gun off.
And this uncle is like, yeah, I noticed again, you just intentionally missed that duck, dude.
Why am I taking you out here? He's a real disappointment to this uncle of his.
and then yeah he's accidentally just shot this squirrel and you get like the humanity of this kid he's like
because the uncle pulls out this huge like crocodile dun dundee knife and he's like well you know what
you're going to do now you can't let these animals suffer you have to defeat him in combat
you got a knife versus a squirrel I mean the knife too is like an interesting thing I would just tell
the kid to smash it against a rock yeah he's a huge rock dude step on it
It's like two or three times.
You got to cut its throat.
It's the only way you can successfully take its soul.
All right.
This is what we do in this family.
We cut the face off of this squirrel and put it on another squirrel.
That's twisted, man.
That is twisted.
He's the joker.
It is the English squirrel face massacre.
Squirrel off.
Dude, if that happened, though, like if that happened to like Chippendale, like you couldn't tell the difference.
Oh, absolutely.
All these little squirrels, you know.
And then Dale would ruin Chip's life because Chip, obviously, is the much more smarter of the two.
But Dale is so stupid and silly.
And why is Chip acting so stupid and silly?
Why is Chip wearing that Hawaiian shirt?
Maybe this is what happened to Emma Thompson.
She got her face ripped off.
Oh, no.
Put on Jenny McCarthy, vice versa.
I like this theory.
I'm going to take his face off.
It's a theory that that holds water, I'll be honest.
because nothing else makes sense.
So while this,
he's like,
oh,
what is it?
The bird sees him and was like,
hey,
follow me.
And like,
that's how he gets to Dr.
Doolittle's compound.
And while this is happening,
we're seeing like how Dr.
Doolittle starts his day.
And he's like,
he's kind of like Robin Williams
and Jumanji when he comes out of the world.
And he's all like bearded and his hair looks fucking terrible.
And these birds are dressing him.
Like,
point where like animals have to put your clothes on that's low i i appreciate that he's hidden all
the opium pipes yeah not just laying around on the table and shit i like that and the whole
plot of this like oh the queen if the queen dies then this is this place is getting bulldozed
is so weird to me because it's like i don't know like we established national parks but when
teddy roosevelt died we didn't you know open them up to oil drilling immediately you also it's also
weird to be like oh here's because like you know he helped the queen
out way back when or whatever by the one we'll get to that and all of a sudden if
she does if and she gave him a lifetime deed and she's like yes but for my life like what
the fuck does that mean like it should be for his right it should be for it should be just
forever what is this is a nature reserve in jolly old england which doesn't have a lot of it
right it's just cows farting yeah definitely that's it so like embrace it the the the the
What are these Faustian contracts the queen is signing, is my question.
I think that's just how she was doing business back then, dude.
She's like a younger queen kind of a thing, like trying to mix it up a little bit in the kingdom.
Oh, I mean, Steve, you have a good point here because, like, dragons exist in this world.
So I think devils do, too.
Oh, absolutely.
We get there.
So the queen is played by the lady from, I'm thinking of ending things.
What's her name?
Jesse Buckley.
Yeah.
And she's like, all of 31 years old.
when were these adventures that she had
with fucking Robert Downey Jr.
Like, fucking two years ago?
Yeah, I don't know.
Like, how long is this wife supposed to have been lost at sea?
Yeah, that's a good call, actually.
Because they do make reference to like,
yeah, she is like a super young queen and everything.
So I guess maybe this was just like last summer.
I mean, it would have been great if there was like a previously on Doolittle.
Yeah.
Well, they drive that.
Just for that part.
Is Lady Rose supposed to be her daughter?
Like in lines, I don't know how that works either.
It's like her cousin's kid or something.
It's like, and she dresses like little red rose gold riding hood.
Like she's got this really terrible looking hood over her the whole time.
Man, a wolf should have tried to kill her and talk.
Absolutely.
I like that.
Well, it's weird because, you know, why is it that this little girl seems to be the only one who's kind of like in charge of the queen's health?
because the other you got you got
Michael Sheen
as like a crooked doctor
and then you got
oh what's his name
old English guy
Jim Broadbent
who the whole movie I kept saying
Tom Wilkinson and I knew it was wrong
but they're like
interchangeable old British people to me
but yeah yeah Broadbent is like
another mustache twirling
so and so who's like in line for the throne
but like where is anyone else
to like attend to
the queen of England.
Like, it makes no sense that
there's just this little kid who's got
like this all-access pass
to watching this woman die.
At the stage pass to the queen's death.
Yeah, I got this on the radio.
I can't wait.
You are going to go see the queen die tonight.
They try to make the
head of the guards a character at the end.
Oh, right.
And he's like peppered throughout, but like, I'm like,
no, no, no, no.
Stop it. This is stupid.
Yeah, what's his thing?
Because he's like, oh, an animal saved me once, too, or something like that.
He thinks he also spoke to an animal.
It is all too little too late for that character.
But, you know, there's a thing.
I want to make sure we get to this because I think it's crucially important.
The part of this movie where the gorilla threatens to take a shit on the chessboard.
Like, what are we doing this animal threatens to take a shit on a table?
And the thing is, he's like a nervous gorilla.
and they're playing mice chess.
And I mean, like, the weird thing is like, all animals have purchased and like all
animals have like full identities, why are these like just your little chess pieces?
Don't they have like fully ingrained lives and love lives to worry about?
Yeah, but he's imprisoned them.
Oh, I see.
He's paid for them to have match boxes to live in.
Well, it's kind of like, it's kind of like Beauty and the Beast, you know?
Like they all, maybe they've all been transformed into animals.
and they're just playing a part kind of a thing.
Also, this could just be...
Oh, I'm sorry, my animal friends.
I shouldn't have tricked that bitch
when she came over my house.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, it could be like an island
at Dr. Monroe thing, right?
Like, we're making, like, weird fish people.
The island of Dr. Marvin Monroe.
It's Dr. Morrow.
Oh, my apologies.
I don't want to offend that fictional dude.
He's got to come after you.
It's a completely different island.
island of Dr. Monroe.
I mean, what happens if, like, the little
Rook Mouse doesn't want to hit his brother
the king mouse? Exactly. This is a
real thing. Uh, well, then that's when
Dr. Doe, it's really easy, guys.
It's when, that's when Dr. Doolittle
raises a boot above his head.
And he's like, if you don't fucking make
that chest move, it's Splatown to
night, Mouse. Exactly.
Because that's the other thing, too, is it's got to be, like,
battle chess, like they're hitting each other. It's weird.
Listen. Well, that's
that's always like the thing with
any kind of
real life sort of
or like full size chest thing
in these kinds of situations.
We always love it when like
when the peace move is made
it is actually like a battle thing.
Listen, either you're gonna hit your brother
or I am.
It's like the knight just doesn't like knock over the pawn.
It fucking slays the pawn dead.
Kind of a thing.
I feel like that's probably
is that not in those dumb ass
Alice and Wonderland movies?
that's got to be a thing.
Yeah, I'm sure that's going on.
Fighting with each other or whatever.
Stupid shit.
But yeah,
the gorilla is very nervous.
That's his thing.
Other people,
there's a duck that's Octavia Spencer.
The duck has some funny jokes.
I was okay with the duck.
I just,
I checked out of all of it.
Like,
it just wasn't,
none of this was working for me.
I mean,
Steve,
it's kind of a testament to the movie is like,
I remember also kind of politely
chuckling at the duck.
But I couldn't tell you a single joke, though.
We'll get to one that they literally less than 24 hours later, you know what I mean?
I've got massive stinger underlined somewhere here, but that's about it as far as the jokes go.
So this rotten little girl just like walks into his house, which, man, that bear should be like, intruder alert, fucking mall her.
Well, we should say that they knock on the door and the gorilla answers the door and he's a nervous gorilla.
And literally one of the most chilling things I've seen in years is this gorilla screaming?
Like this photuralistic gorilla screaming like a man.
It was like fucking annihilation for five minutes.
Exactly.
This was exactly like annihilation.
I think there's a shimmer around his gate to this house.
That's why it's like all close down and they have to like smuggle their way in.
Like, it's fucking stalker.
The dead wife merged with the gorilla at some point.
That makes sense.
Ooh, totally.
Hello, husband of mine.
It's beating fucking Tommy Pickettin or whatever his name is to death.
Stubbins, sorry.
Stubbins.
Timmy Doudad?
Oh, Stubbins, right.
Well, the weird thing, too, is like the Emma Thompson Parrott is like, okay, Stubbins.
like you know the door is permanently locked to this compound but here's the way you have to sneak in
or whatever and then like they just sort of cut to the girl is just on the property so like
either they just totally like beefed on that or like this girl also knows about the secret way to
get into the compound like it's never really established but they just go from like emma thompson
being like oh it's totally locked and you can't get in this way we have to go around this hidden entrance
and then this girl is just at the front door
like a Girl Scout selling cookies.
We also around here we get one of
many because they keep on having to hit
this nail for some reason.
Many transitions from
what are you doing?
What are you doing here, Gorilla?
And you know they
100% drop it as the movie
goes on like you lose that whole thing
but very much upfront the movie
tries to like really hammer home
like anyone who's not
like in this little doodils
circle is just hearing these animals like grunt and growl and whatever and specifically he
is grunting and growling to them which is a oh yes he is also yeah that's god damn that sucks
it sucks even more when it's it's r dj and this other kid like talking animal to each other
and robert downy junior's like you know like sort of grading this kid's like uh pronunciation and
shit man that's dumb we're all on the record like we mostly like those marvel movies but also
find them to be the cancer that's destroying cinema from the inside out and you know
that so there's ups and downs of those Marvel movies but like the fact that he only that
R.DJ only comes out of Marvel retirement to do these horrendous other block wouldn't
it be like okay I'm gonna do these Marvel movies blah blah blah but then I'm gonna do a
really interesting biopic of somebody or really interesting like a talky drama that
I've always wanted to get by sink my teeth into it's like it's the same shit but
actually worse somehow and you get to do a
British accent, congratulations.
I mean, I don't think he's done worse movies than the juror and this.
Yes.
I can't think.
The judge, right?
The judge, yes.
The juror is the Demi Mormon.
Yeah, because it was the judge.
The judge was the last non-Toney Stark role he had before this one.
And he always produces.
That movie was in like 2014 or something.
He always produces them.
They're always like his movies and they're horrible.
Well, because he's always been.
like the list to do bigger like he was supposed to be uh doc sportello in in air advice for a long time
well the things he doesn't want to try like you'll just do a fucking weirdo accent as a way to be like
see what a good actor without me actually taking on challenging material yes for sure there was
another thing that he executive produced recently and i was like why weren't you just in this
it would be good oh man oh damn it doesn't matter but yeah i'm bringing up his imdb let's see here
he's got that Sherlock Holmes 3 coming down the pike and I'm like yet again just stop I'm done
Perry Mason he produced yes that's what he was supposed to be in it yep yep he was supposed to be
Perry Mason that's right that's exactly what I was thinking of um I mean I think Matthew Reese
killed it in that role a real Welshman by the way that guy that guy can speak with a real
Welsh accent they should have swapped these guys that's right dude I don't know though man I do not
want Matthew Reese in these fucking dumbass
movies. He's
a really interesting actor
that I wish to stay far away
from talking animals. Oh, okay, yeah. I guess
you see like maybe this guy is
an actual actor guy.
I mean,
Dowdy was at some point an actual
actor, right? I mean, yeah. He's
capable. He's more than capable. Scattered Dark.
He's amazing in a Scanner Dark way. Yes, for sure.
Kiss, kiss, bang. Great. Yes.
Great one. And for what it's worth,
like, I think he's good as Tony Stark.
yes exactly but i i saw him do it fucking 15 times and i but that's the thing it's always like
i'm just so tired of these marvel movies i need to like i need to stick my
fucking fist up a dragon's ass to really just stretch myself as an actor like this cartoon
disney movies get me out of here you could do whatever the fuck you want exactly that's the whole
point is this what is this i don't get it i mean to be fair like i feel like it's you because this
this really is a movie where you can look at it when you're watching it and see that like
there's likely something in here if if some other pieces fell into place the right way which
they didn't but like if you had a better script if you had a better director who's like
worked in this kind of filmmaking before like you know i was thinking uh could have done this
cabin was um who's the guy who did like old man of the gun but he did that pete's dragon
adaptation oh david lowry who was very good david lowry could have done
a fucking weird and interesting
Doolittle movie. And I feel like
we would have had something here. But even
Pete's Dragon, which is very
good, like, it's one major
piece of CGI, the Dragon.
Yeah. And this is like all these
photorealistic animals that look like
garbage. And I'm like, and I
don't care. Like, I don't think you could have done
this unless you get real animals and just do
the voiceover like the Eddie Murphy
Doolittle. Or you get,
this is something Eric pointed out, like
if you're going to turn this into a Pirates of the Caribbean movie,
you need Pirates of the Caribbean money
like Universal just did not
give them enough money to do this
the right way it just looks
they were smart dude
whoever
whoever didn't sign that check
on a promotion like
dude
remember when you fought against
doolid and you said that
the movie's gonna flop
well here's a fucking promotion
big daddy
and as bad as those
Pirates of the Caribbean movies are
like I know who the bad guys are
I know the motivations for everything
like okay so someone has poisoned
the queen for reasons
question mark, they're only sending one
boat because it's cheaper
for this movie to pursue
exactly. It's just so weird.
And all these animals are like working through
like family issues. I'm like, get the
fuck out of here!
Absolutely not. And that's the thing about those Eddie
Murphy movies is like
they're just there to like make jokes
and do whatever and
it's totally fine.
I'm not getting
the fucking life story of the
dog that Norm McDonald voices.
You know what I mean?
But if we're doing these animals and we're doing him talking to animals,
we're making a pilotist of the Caribbean type of adventure movie,
get somewhere where there's animals in trouble.
When we finally do get somewhere, they're evil animals.
Instead of like, he could be saving animals.
We could replicate the scene from Peewee's Big Adventure where he goes into the store that's
on fire, the pet store and taking out all the snakes or something.
Like save animals.
Use your fucking thing to talk to animals in a way that does something.
I mean, they're looking for a magic.
tree and all these fucking animals do it's just you know they're just lousy like secondhand
crewman on his fucking boat yep yeah and you know you just you sort of inspired a thought in
me eric about how you could make this movie like again like central to the animals because
you're right like he's just using these animals to help find a cure for a sick human it should
be the queen's prize whatever it has fallen ill you know and dr doolittle has to go and
And it could be the same plant.
It's the only plant that will cure this corgi dog or whatever it is.
You know what I mean?
But instead, yet, we're just like trying to save the Queen of England.
Like, the stakes are that high in Doolittle that there's going to be the murder of the Queen of England?
Like, my God.
Like, let's dial it back just a little bit.
How about a sick dog?
Right when she dies, the Treasury Department takes over Doolittle Manor and blows it up or something.
Yeah, I don't know.
First thing is first.
I don't get the line of thought
with this movie.
That's his weird
motivation, right? Because he doesn't want to do it.
And then they're like, by the way, do little,
the Queen of England only leased this
animal preserved to you for
her lifetime. So like,
if she dies, you're going to lose
your house. And he's like, well, I'm going to be
out on my ass, am I?
Well, off to adventure then. It's just him
trying to keep his house.
You should get a monkey to help hang him,
hang himself well the monkeys
the monkeys are his lawyers
Eric they're going over contracts for him right
yes yes yes what a wonderful
little moment of levity just wonderful
I mean the better Pirates of the Caribbean
movie is the animated intro
like the story of Lily and him
is the Pirates of the Caribbean movie you're looking for
you just didn't have the money so you just make
this shitty like here's two sets and a bunch of
CGI deal with it I was thinking about this
animated intro like last week's
movie Wonder Woman 1984
might have served by having an animated intro would feel more 80s yeah yeah totally yeah I think
you're totally right and you know what's funny though is well is the christmas vacation now
opening you're thinking here yeah exactly or city slickers this old house
father looking good but um boom boom boom yeah it's that time it's like santa being
decimated right yeah but but wonder woman it could be like wonder woman like stubbing her toe
and stuff, doing all our cool sports
stuff. Wonder Woman.
Traveling through town,
never growing old.
Wonder Woman's here to save
all the people in the world.
There you go. We're getting somewhere.
There we're going, man.
But what I'm saying, though, is
testament to
a cartoon intro,
being in a good movie,
is this month's we love movie selection
on Birds of Prey. We got a little animated
intro there also.
Wow. So it can be used for good.
Yeah, that that is crazy. Yeah, two animated
intros in 2020.
It's coming back.
It's coming back. It was a 90s thing too.
So I think it revolves around
that resurgence. Yeah, we thought
it died with Weekend at Bernie's
2, but no such luck.
Uh, yeah, so he
decides that he's going to, you know,
take up this adventure, whatever.
Uh, and then we just
we hit the high seas. Well, the thing
And the kid, we should say the kid does not,
Robert Downey Jr. does not want this kid in this movie,
or at least the character doesn't.
So he stows away to the queen's thing,
and then, like, begrudgingly,
he's do little, is like,
all right, you could be my apprentice for this little meeting that I have.
And he's like, cannot go with you on this great adventure.
It's like, absolutely not.
And the parents, like, trying to set them up, I guess is the idea.
And, like, he has to, like, he has to literally, like, catapult himself
into this film.
Like, it's just, like, don't bother.
This kid's ugly.
sucks he's a disgusting shit boy he is shit lad but yeah no this kid is i'm sick of seeing these
little dead-eyed kids in all these movies but i know also like just just make it one kid like
just have the little girl go with him on the adventure i don't need this fucking ugly bastard
Well, I just hate how the, like, it's such a hodgepodge of, like, what, where your comedy's coming from.
Like, he said, like, Robert D. Drew's like, go home, go to the witch father and, like, talk to him for a little bit or whatever the fuck.
And the next morning, Emma Thompson parrot gets the giraffe and Marion Cotillard Fox.
And, like, all of a sudden, they're in a chase.
And then they're like, why are we in a chase?
Because we have to be in a chase, I guess.
And I'm like, what the fuck are you talking?
Don't break this.
break the fourth wall, that's essentially
breaking the fourth wall. Hey, honey,
I was about to turn this movie off, but now
Marion Cotillard's doing the voice of a fox.
I guess I'll stick around.
She's talking about
the Illuminati.
Wow, my favorite
part of Doolittle was when that Fox told me
that jet fuel can't melt steel beams.
What is weird
about this whole, like the animals can talk
to each other thing? Like, I understand
if it's a monkey talking to a monkey,
but we're shown the transition.
of like Robert Downey Jr. talking like gibberish noises to I forget which goddamn monster
or animal and then it translates so it's like every so the parent would have to speak bear
right like this doesn't really jive no it doesn't it does not and that's the thing about those
Eddie Murphy movies is I don't maybe I'll get called out of this it's been a while since I've only seen
the I saw the first two and I think like I think they are just doing like they can just talk to
each other but we're not doing like barks and shit like he can just like like Eddie Murphy's
just talking to these animals and they'll talk back and like that's fine and I don't know I should
say the other thing is I've never seen the Richard Fleischer movie with Rex Harrison so I don't
know how they do shit in that movie but that's closer to the source material material from the
Hugh Lofting book, so that's like...
I saw that first movie
eons ago, so I couldn't tell you much about it,
but it was, it seemed
jovial, it seemed upbeat,
it seems like it's better than this.
Well, there's also songs in that movie.
Exactly. Because it was
a big production, you know what I mean, as opposed
to just like gray
amorphous adventure shit, where
there's no act, you know what I mean? And that's all we ever
do now, it's just gray amorphous
adventure shit. There's no comedies,
there's no dramas, there's no
thrillers heists
it's just gray adventure shit
movies like this it's it's gone
from the like a three act structure
to a three episode structure
yes this feels like three episodes of the
Dr. Doolittle show that would be
on Netflix but like
I know like I usually say the opposite
but at this point I would rather just have a film
stage production of Dr. Too Little
absolutely 100%.
I mean
so they're on the high stage kid yeah
well you've got this kid I realize there's another
dumb thing he like the the action scene of him getting on this boat is so stupid and you see him like
it's this crazy stunt where like he's swinging off this yet to be completed bridge uh on this huge
rope to get on this boat like it's the end of die hard with a vengeance and i'm just sitting there
like i don't know i thought this movie was about this dude who was talking to animals yes and here is
this kid swinging around on a rope like a pirate like get out of here with this and also an octopus
says snitches get stitches which reminds me sure the other awful thing in this movie is how like all
the humans are like living in like late 19th century England and then all the animals talk like it's
2020 garbage garbage decision garbage decision yeah this octopus has been listening to a lot of
1990s rap and hip hop
you know I don't know how he got it in the fucking
tank but he got it apparently
yeah they should be like making jokes
of the era like oh the
American colonies what about
you might be American if
you know that type of stuff
which I'm sure was prevalent or it's all just
totally racist stuff and it's like well that's how
it wasn't it totally they come out
defended afterwards like listen that's what
they talked out at the time I don't care
yes phrenology was still very much
in vogue so fuck off they learned it
from do little yeah okay your hero's not perfect I'm sorry yes so bear can be
racist okay whatever oh we should say also Camille and the Johnny's in this
movie as the ostrich that's sort of something it's not it's not it's not good
it's not I mean again like he's a really funny fucking comedian and like I like
I like watching him in some movies but like there's not you can't just do this
thing where it's just like oh he's funny so his voice
must be funny. All these people who actually make money doing voice comedy, that's totally
different. You know what I mean? Like it's just, it's a name. And like, oh my God, fucking
finally Camille, I'm Johnny's an ostrich. Holy shit. Well, dude, this was after, I mean,
he already did a totally forgettable voice performance in that Men in Black international
movie. He's like the little fucking alien thing in that movie. And again, it's like, this is a
dude who has made me laugh, like, either in his stand-up or on, like, Silicon Valley or whatever,
uh, you know, he's great and the big sick and everything. And then, like, you just
plop them in a voice studio. And it's like, all right, now do the thing. And it just does not
work. And also this ostrich character is another like, nervous Nelly kind of thing. And I'm
like, that's the gorilla. We already got one. You're totally right. I think one of the only,
like, comedic, uh, animals that works for me. I think Jason Muzake is kind of, Jason,
Manzukas, my apologies. I think he kind of
nails it with the dragonfly. He's the funniest.
He's funny, man. He's funny.
That's a dude that translates well
to voice acting. It just works.
He's like, what, a dragonfly or something?
And also you're not like watching
his mouth. It's a little dragonfly. You can't
really see what's going on there.
Whereas like any other character, you're
watching this fucking monstrosity
jaw at you.
Why is John Cena's
polar bear character wearing a hat this
whole time? It's like a ski bum kind of
thing, I think. Oh, no, it's his
thing, because everyone has this weird,
I mean, like, I don't know if Dr. Doolittle is an
MD or, you know, a
psychologist or whatever. They all have, like,
these neuroses or whatever, and his thing
is he thinks he's
cold all the time. And it's
very island of the misfit toys.
Like, whoever heard of a polar bear
who was cold?
But I got to tell you, I
watch this movie now twice,
and I didn't even pick
that up. Yeah. Like, it's not
in like a major like you're just oh he's always just comforting plimpton the fucking ostrich
you might want to fucking uh put your volume up dude no i'm kidding about the fun when you're
watching get get them subs on cammy it's a dialogue in the movie in here pal Chris you saw this
twice yes leads me to believe that you are something of a super fan yeah I'm a very big fan of it
uh I think it's it's it's the best movie of the year by the way if that's the qualifications for
super fandom, then unfortunately I have some bad news. All four of us are super fans of Wonder Woman
84. Yeah, that's a good point. I got I will say now I'm just scheming. I think next time
around, we're obviously have the VHS trailer game. It's cameo. Maybe next time around the
winner gets to write everybody else's Twitter bios. And then you look, the winner can just
say like Chris Cabin has to have do a little super fan in his Twitter bio for a whole year.
I don't think this is quite fair because that's a game I'm easily going to lose every single
year. That's a good point. We'll have to figure something out. I mean, like, maybe I, yeah,
I probably at some point noticed he said, I'm cold, but I'm like, it's a fucking polar bear
talking. I don't give a shit. No, of course. I mean, who could, it's impossible to pay
attention to this movie because the movie doesn't have any force behind it to make you pay attention.
And I'm not, and I'm not like, I, there are plenty of kids movies I engage with very easily
and can pay attention to the whole thing. This just is bad. Top to Bob.
bottom bad. Yeah, this is, I mean, that's right. And I was kind of like wondering about this
as I started the movie and eventually the thought like totally just disintegrated as I watched
what was before my own eyes. But when I started it, I was like, oh man, I hope this is, because
I hadn't seen it. And I was like, I hope this isn't a thing where we're just ragging on a kids
movie because it's like not for us. But like this isn't for children. There are so much better
things out there. You know what? Like right now, parents, if you're looking for
something to watch in the new year wolf walkers which is on apple like you can rent it it's a
fucking beautiful movie it's a great movie it is not this like you can you can watch wolf walkers
and be assured family that no one is going to fist a dragon's asshole at the end i i would say
boss baby is a healthier movie for your kids to watch and this oh absolutely by quite a mart by
quite a margin i would say i say first cow give it a shot with the fan also yeah yeah there's nothing
an offensive in there. Your kids might take a little nap
in it, but that's okay. It shows you the realities
of life, too. That's right. And
you get a nice little baking
treats in the movie.
So Michael Sheen is now the baddie
and he's got his own boat and he's
attacking Dr. Doolittle. This is a big
set piece where a whale
becomes involved. That's sort of something.
It is sort of something, man. And it's
crazy, Steve, because only a movie
this bad could take
the majesty out of whales
for me. Like, whenever I see whales and
shit, I'm like, look at that.
Like, I will stop dead and be like,
look at that fucking whale. Like, that
is a creature. So when you're on 42nd Street,
you see a whale, you're like, holy shit, look at that
fucking whale. Yeah, well, then I've got
to make sure I'm not stopping in the middle of the road
to be hit by someone as I'm
staring at an invisible whale.
Okay, so he got
this ship, was it from the
government, or is this his ship? Because
there's a harness so that it could
be ridden or driven
by a whale. Yeah, so this
is, he has two boats in this movie. The
first one I think is like, it's the
due little boat because it's named
after his wife. Like they
clearly had some adventures on the
high seas with it because yeah, the whole thing is...
Oh, definitely, definitely
and those animals were all watching.
Oh, yeah. Maybe they got involved a little
bit. Hey, Doc, you're really
giving it to her. You want to you wear my polar
ber hat? Hey, Doc, good
job. Hey,
high five.
hey Chris did
could Mr. Hands talk to animals
he could
but you didn't
they didn't show the transition
he would go like
very often
and it just translated
hey Mr. Hands
you want to get fucked
we're in a loving
relationship
it puts a new meaning
to penetration
doesn't it folks
no absolutely
but the
the thing about this whale shit which is weird is like so yeah there's this whole like he's got to get
dr doolittle has to get in this like diving bell outfit and he's down there like getting the shit
ready and he's just basically like he like they make some sort of whale noise or whatever and the whales
hear it and this one whale is like got it dr doolittle and like gets into this and i was like
has this particular whale done this before with him or is this some weird like
Like, they understood what Dr. Doolittle was asking and then was, like, not a problem.
I'm happy to help out a complete stranger.
Well, yeah, because he has the machine, the horn machine that talks to the whale.
Right.
But my question was, has this particular whale driven Dr. Doolittle's ship for him before?
Like, did this guy know the score?
Or was it, like, completely new situation?
I think it's new.
I think it's the idea is like, oh, if someone's talking to me, I should just do what they say.
Like, I don't know, man.
Like, I can talk to anybody.
If somebody tells me to help them move in the middle of the street,
I'm not going to do it.
Exactly.
This is like, hey.
Like, hey, whale,
tow my car for me.
Whatever you say, Dr. Doolittle.
Like, there should have been at least one whale that was like,
you know what?
I reserve the right of first refusal.
I'm not dragging you.
Get out of here.
I'm a little late.
I've got to get to the school of fish.
Got a class at the learning.
Well, he's got a garage.
Well, he's got a garage.
gorilla and a polar bear up there. He must be a nice guy. Let's give him a ride. Let's go.
I'm in the middle of my mating ritual. It takes like three and a half months. I'm a little busy.
Oh, that's the, I found it though. The whale goes, like they send out the little horn thing and he's got the apparatus ready to go.
And this whale just swims in and he goes, Humphrey here. Let's hook it up. And I'm like, I don't know, Humphrey. What if this thing electrocutes you to death, man? Do you ever think about that?
That'd be cool. Yeah, they're going to sell your Baleen, Humphrey. You should be so trusting.
exactly. This is the part
of the movie where I just wrote a note
and I think this speaks volumes. It just
says, I think Russell Madness is a
more put together movie than this.
I think you're right. 100%. That was a movie
about a talking monkey and a dog
that rasseled. Way better animal action movie.
Previous episode of ours for any new listeners
that are not aware of the
drag we covered
back in days of your... A more sensible movie
through and through, I would say.
And yeah, Michael Sheen is giving
chase he is doing a evil german kind of mustache twirling impression here you wouldn't know it like
someone had to tell you that michael sheen was a german it's weird because he doesn't you could do
the accent you can have fun with it you could really mustache twirl but he kind of he doesn't do it
he just talks about the umlaut right yes exactly he's like my name has an umlaut in it and i was
like okay got that's german enough for do little i guess but so he is like obsessed with dr
Doolittle and he's got like all
of these articles that Doolittle is written
over the years about his different like animal theories
and shit like that and the whole
thing is they are both racing
to not
what we're we're told well the ultimate goal
is to get to this Eden tree
island and that's where the magic
fruit is that's going to like save
the queen but before that
we got to get to and yeah just say
found youth sure we got to
well we got to get to Antonio Banderas's
island that's a different
island so we can get a
we're just going to get another map
is all like the second act
of this movie is basically. Is the Eden tree
the actual tree
from the Bible? That's a great question
I don't know and I guess God put a
dragon on it just to be sure
like you make sense.
Yeah you got to call this thing something else
man you can't say the Eden tree. You're right
that's dumb. The other thing we're not talking about
Antonio Banderas's island is that's where the
save point is
and then you can go on to the last
you're totally right
no I mean this movie is very messy
because again reshoots yada
this is you can tell
that this sequence was
45 minutes longer and somebody
at the studio was like
fucking cut it
because it's just
all of a sudden we you know we outrun
Michael Sheen he shakes his fist
and then Emmett Thompson shows up again
and it's like and that was a fun little
adventure and then it took us a while to
get on to Antonio Padres
his pirate island Dr. Doolittle had to
wear a funny hat and like it's all these little like little vignettes of obviously tons of footage
that they were just like just get to it just just move it along that's that is the key part of
this whole movie is like put goofy shit on robert downy junior exactly he's on this ship
boxing the gorilla in like box crates and like pillows on his head he looks like a god damn
homeless boxer like a box car boxer yes a boxcar boxer
well this is like this boxing scene or like somewhere around here is where like you have one of these terrible cutaway lines for the animals is like they're boxing and then i think this is around maybe when i don't know backing up a little bit but like when michael sheen first comes into view or something and they cut to craig robinson who's like his little squirrel character's like hanging out on a top mast or something and he sees them and everyone's going nuts and he's like i've got front row seats to crazy town yeah and then a
just cuts back to the movie and i was like well glad we uh stop dead for that yeah you know it
doesn't always work my favorite moment of kevin's uh he does his own log as the squirrel is when they're
i think they're going into is it an Antonio bandaris is or they're going towards the cave i think
and he says something along of the lines like like here we go i never thought i'd be following a
squirrel murderer and their deranged leader like this crew of lunatics so i kind of like the outside looking
in there because that's how I view
the movie is there's a murderer and a deranged
leader of these animals
but other than that
the comedy does suffer in this film
yes yeah but so this is we're at
we're told it's Monte Verde
and we're getting
Lily Doolittle's journal
which will show the way to this
Eden Tree Island because apparently
Antonio Banderas is the father
of Lily is that the idea
even though he's five years
older than Robert Denny
Junior? At most. Absolutely.
They went to college together. Yeah, exactly. Then he started dating his daughter. It was a little awkward.
That's one of the reasons he doesn't like him, you know.
I cannot believe we were roommates in veterinarian school.
And now you are betrothed to my daughter.
Yeah, blame it on Mount Verde.
Well, it's probably like the Green Lantern movie where like it was him, Robert Denny Jr.
And the Queen of England were all like buddies in college kind of a thing.
Oh, sure. Yeah.
She's only 31 years old.
They're both 60.
Can you believe how much us college bodies have grown apart?
Sarah has now become the queen of England.
It's so dumb.
You know what's crazy, though?
He's Antonio Banderas is the best part of this movie.
Of course he is.
He's Antonio Banderas.
The crown of England is the only real evil.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
I mean, there's a reason this guy's.
got to be living on an island in the middle of nowhere with his motley crew he's like a pirate
king right he is a pirate he is oh i don't i don't i don't pay taxes i don't like a way those
go smart man does he make is there something about paying taxes no i don't know but he i mean
that would make some sense oh yeah i mean why else do you go live on an island king rassouli is
his name in this movie sure uh yeah so they get they got to sneak in we're sneaking in
in a stupid disguise of course uh it's him and the kid
And again, like, just being sidled with this little kid for this part.
It is the worst.
And so I guess they're trying to gain access to the place.
And like Manzukas's character here is helping him.
This is the, does everybody catch the fucking penis joke in this movie?
Oh, yeah, the massive stinger.
Yep.
That's insane that that's in this movie.
Run that by me again.
What was that joke?
So the Dragonfly, the Jason Manzookus Dragonfly just shows up.
Like, we don't even see like, like, oh, I knew him back when I.
I was here with Lily. No, no, it's just a guy.
Well, thank God. I don't need
everyone's backstory. Well, we get everybody
else's. The ants are
there, and the ants,
the king of the ants, his daughter
used to date the
dragonfly. But now
the daughter of the
king of the ants, I want to die
saying these words.
Oh, yeah.
Is dating a scorpion who has
a massive stinger.
Right. And so,
That's the Manzuka slug.
He goes, what is this?
What is this scorpion got that I don't?
Besides a massive stinger.
And I'm like, man, can we leave the dick jokes out of the do little movie, please?
A scorpion's fucking an ant?
Yes.
That's what we're told.
That ain't normal folks.
Later on, the dragonfly to get over his aunt bride.
Also, a dragonfly is fucking an ant.
The dragonfly falls in love of the fucking.
parrot. It's like, dude, you can't fuck that
thing. That ain't right.
Well, to be fair,
that ain't right either.
But
the idea that we're teaching
children to have interspecial
relations. It's just really
something. Suddenly, suddenly, my
boy, after watch a do-little, putting his
dick in a lizard. That ain't right.
My boy's thinking he's
fucking one of the Ninja Turtles.
My non-existent kid is out there
fucking animals because you're a new little.
movie.
Hi, Universal Pictures.
Your little do-little movie made my son
fuck my dog.
Huh? Well, what are you going to do about that?
I want my money back. I want my $12 back
because now my son, fuck my dog.
Can you kill him? Because I want to kill him.
Both of them. I'll be honest with you.
I can't believe you got a movie
talking about animal dicks and a horse
is not the subject to the joke.
You know, he watched the Doolittle movie.
He watched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie,
and now he's taking advice from a rat.
It's a slippery slope.
That ain't right.
That ain't right.
So this kid, like, we got to steal a key to get into a secret passage
in Antonio Banderas's basement,
and that's where, like, he has this vault, like, tribute,
place for his dead daughter
like in the basement
very strange it's a satanic shrine
that he's using to try to resurrect her I imagine
I sort of had that thought also
and I was like that's for a different movie
I'm going to resurrect my dead daughter
this is the only real evil left
is resurrecting my dead daughter
I want much like he got his own little
Puss and Boots spin off I want a king Rizuli
spin off where he's
trying to bring this daughter back from the dead yes and it fails horribly like he does but she comes
back wrong and she's evil and she's killing all this dude's lions oh you know what i renounce of my
wish i'm just going to do that i no longer want to sleep in a den of lions like lucifer tells
him he has to kill one million animals oh i like this bring back the the dead daughter and then
Doolittle's like, oh no, it's World War
Animal, and he's got to save
the death. That would be something.
Doolittle, too.
It's almost as if, like, Antonio Banderas,
if they had not made him, I guess,
Dr. Doolittle's father-in-law,
he could have been, like, the actual villain of the movie.
Sure.
You'd have an actual villain of something. Like,
you're not going to get to Eden Tree Island
first. I'm going to follow you.
It's something like that. Well, stop it.
There's snively whiplash. I mean,
Michael Sheen.
Yes, but he has, he does nothing in this movie pretty much.
He just, he gets beat.
He's bested yet again every five minutes and that's it.
The, the funniest thing, because someone already mentioned the fact that he's just in like one boat chasing after Doolittle.
The funniest detail is that they definitely say like, oh yeah, and Jim Broadbent has sent the fleet after Dr. Doolittle.
And it's just this one boat, you cheap-ass movie.
Maybe it's like an improv thing.
You just got to like imagine it.
You know what I mean?
Oh shit.
Yeah, they're not doing enough
object works.
A couple chairs of the back represent the rest of the shit.
I am sending you my most powerful boats, the invisible fleet.
Don't worry.
They're there.
So yeah, Dr. Jew little is jailed.
and he's going to be executed by being fed to lions.
This is where we have, and I don't know.
Oh, a tiger, excuse me, you're right.
And this is where we have,
and I don't know why he would feel the need to go uncredited in this movie,
but it's just Will Arnett playing this Jack Rabbit that's in jail.
Yeah.
And like, I don't know, man.
Everybody else is fine with being embarrassed enough of being associated with this movie.
Like, you're not above it, Will Arnett?
credited for voicing this.
Was he afraid of losing the Reese's gig or what?
Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe it's a thing where it's like,
you could only be credited for one voice thing
at a time and you still doing BoJack.
Maybe he was part of his BoJack contract.
I don't know.
It's possible.
Netflix was going to come after him.
Yeah, but he's like basically taking bets
on whether Dr. Doolittle is going to die kind of a thing.
And Dr. Doolittle is then put in this cage with
Barry the tiger here, voiced by Ray Fine.
which is like
I don't know
it's another just dumb scene
he also has mother issues
and that's great
because kids are gonna love that
and I guess
it gets weird
with Ray Fines here
like it takes a
we're spending a lot of time on it
and B it's just sort of just like
and I'll never be good enough for her
and it's just it gets really deep
and dark and it's like
nah
you know what
nah
yeah no not not for this movie
if if the fucking
massive stinger thing wasn't bad enough
the gorilla fights the fucking tiger
and he gets hit in the nuts climatically
and says a tiger
berries berries got hit
I'm like I want to die now
set me on fire
well this is after Emma Thompson decides
to do a terror attack on
Queen Rosulis Island or whatever the fuck
I forgot that yes
oh right they throw like a fucking thing
a dynamite they do
in like the church
no no it's where there's
it's where they're
like storing all the gunpowder and
shit so it really lights up this fucking
castle like part of it falls off it's
way too much of a response especially
it's you're related to this man by
marriage exactly
dude you're just like fucking with family at this point
and you're definitely killing like a cat at least
in that explosion exactly don't be talking
to me about that no no no you killed your own
well you definitely know
like Antonio Banderas is kind
of a weird like
he's not talking
to these animals, but he's got
an odd closeness
with animals because like during the
bombing, they cut to like
his dining room or whatever
and he's having some great feast
to celebrate the death of Dr. Doolittle
or whatever. And he is at a dining
table with both human beings and
animals. And he's got tiger
makeup on as well kind of a thing. Yes, he's
got tiger makeup on. He, there's
like a bear and a hat.
There's like wolves that are just
sitting at the table with him. No, is it
I don't know what's going on.
Is Lily Doolittle the one that had the magic with all the animals that then spread it to her father and the doc?
I guess.
I don't know.
It's a weird, like, you never see him talking to these animals, but these animals are living amongst this guy like people, and it is a strange arrangement.
Ah, yes, this is my closest, my closest assistant, Jerry the Jackal, he's an actual jackal.
And, I mean, he must have some Van Gogh.
debt against like something like because that jack rabbit is in jail like he has he has imprisoned both
human beings and animals i don't know what this guy's got going on he also has a nick fury
eye patch like what what happened to the jack rabbit did the jack rabbit get into a knife fight at
some point i guess maybe he had to maybe he had to fight the tiger too or something
he lost his eye from eating too many wreaths so whatever this tiger
It's kicked in the nuts.
You could get him at the bank.
Oh, no, you can't.
It's commercial.
Bye.
We're told that because technically, I guess,
Dr. Doolittle won his life and was not eaten by this tiger.
The Jackrabbit lost $50,000 gambling.
That's something.
They're using American money, I guess.
At that point, aren't you still on de Bloons at that point?
Yeah, definitely gold coins, absolutely.
Maybe he doesn't specify a.
currency. Maybe he just says he lost
50,000 on it. But there's definitely a
I just lost 50,000
on that fight or whatever.
I would hope it'd be
something like 50 large.
I just took out a
reverse mortgage.
I talked to a rabbit
that sounded exactly like a
Tom Selleck. He sold
me a reverse mortgage.
Reverse mortgages are the only
true evil left.
They really are. It was between him and a
salamander that
sound like William Devane
I wish
that would be kind of something
I think he does reverse mortgages
things too
oh doesn't that make sense
is he still kicking
I think he's still around
or maybe just recently
I don't know
I think Devane is still with us
maybe not
I don't know
if I thought so
I would like to
I would like to think
I would have heard
if William Devane
passed away
that guy is going to get
Farina whenever it happens
oh for sure
no he seems to be alive
he's alive
he's alive he's alive
Good for you.
Hey, born in Albany, New York.
And by the way, folks at home, if you're listening to this in the future and he's dead,
don't tweet at us.
Yeah, I really, really don't give a shit to see that tweet from you.
We're recording this on January 2nd, 2021.
Just so you know, if he's dead, you don't have to tweet at us that he's dead now.
Yeah, we'll have heard.
We'll have heard.
Yeah, so like they get Antonio Banderas like kind of back on their side or whatever
because he overhears the, this is the funniest thing in the world,
this overhearing when like Dr. Doolittle, he's like, all right, you know, I'm totally given up.
Michael Sheen, Michael Sheen bombs his boat and destroys it and all the animals are like standing
on the shore and he's like, I'm just going to set up shop right here and offer medical advice
to people on this island or whatever. And he mentions like kind of whispering, I think to the boy
about like how he cares for Lily and he still misses her and yada yada. And then like from 40 feet
away, Antonio Banderas is like, I heard every word you said. And I'm like, what are you talking about?
There's no way. But he basically is like, you know, oh, I still miss my daughter too. Okay, I guess you're not that
much of a scumbag. You know, I will let you, I'll let you live so you can go track this dude down
and save the day or whatever. And I'm also going to give you a boat and it's like a total
piece of shit boat, but whatever, it gets us off this island.
Yeah, to the next island.
On to the next island, everybody.
There's a weird, there's a totally weird plimpton, the ostrich comment about,
because this is where, like, the ostrich has kind of been, like, contentious with John Cena's polar bear the whole time.
And, like, they start bonding right around here, like, when all seems lost.
And do you catch this line where the ostrich basically says that his father once told him that he should have been aborted?
No, I missed that one.
I really did.
Maybe I had my own volume.
Yeah, the ostrich goes,
one time my father said I should have been an omelet.
Yeah.
That's pretty funny.
Yeah, I mean, there's all this shit.
I'm like, why can't they be talking about like, you know,
fun stuff?
I don't know how much they like eating fucking chicken feed.
Exactly.
It's so stupid.
By the way, I didn't say it, but the tiger is,
they give him a last name.
it's Barry Bornstein and I was like is this a Jewish thing with the mother like I
yeah I was like we're doing that yeah I was like this is a little weird this is really
fucking weird oh yeah that's insane I totally missed the Bournestein part I miss I totally
missed the last name did they give a social security number two born in London shipped to
this goddamn forsaken island I just don't get it you're and you're right it'd be fun of
it was like cute stuff like he can't stop eating the wrong kind of food
or like oh man he farts too much like that's something yeah dude Steve you're totally right
my kingdom for a fucking fart joke with one of these animals sure not the dragon thing
but just yeah like oh my god the gorilla can't stop farting and like at some point he
uses his fart power and like knocks out a bunch of guards or something and is it he you know
he frees dr. do little due to farting like that's the level of this movie not this like
this like talking cure nonsense that we have to go through not that oh man my fucking my girlfriend
cheated on me i've never been the same like i don't know dude you're a fucking ostrich relax
it is so weird to give these animals psychological problems i really just don't understand
the thought process like this was this is one of those like so many people had to say yes
so many people had to say yes to this tiger this jewish tiger having some sort of fucking
mom problems like get out of here with all of it
it is exhausting how terrible this movie is so michael sheen is on the high seas
in his super boat and uh he's far away and the whales are catching up to him and they flip him
off oh yes yes they they they should they show the whales like flippers coming like out of the
water a little bit and one of the whales is like i'm flipping him off
Jesus Christ.
Is this for the one 13-year-old who saw this?
Like, I thought there's a baby shit.
If I was given a pass on Doolittle,
I probably would have said,
done the flipping him off joke too.
I think that was one of the highlights of the film.
That was one of your favorites.
Yeah.
Flipping them off of that kind of joke,
though,
I'm sorry to tell you,
that's Shrek territory.
It definitely is,
but this is.
That's a Shrek joke.
This movie is Shrek territory,
and it ain't right.
Yeah.
Well,
would be like you know in another shrek movie they team up with moby dick for some reason right
and then like that's that's where the flipping him off joke would donkey's like that's a big
dick shrek oh yeah shrek's like i don't know what would he say at the side of all these things
i want to suck it but it would be a pun on something like the off stage off screen there's a jolly
ranch and he goes like i meant this jolly rancher no
that big dick i'm gonna deep throw out that dick the headline is shrek franchise finally destroyed by
the writers also known as the creators of we hate movies that shrek that shrek five was fine but then
he starts making this dick sucking jokes but you know you bring up a great point Andrew we are
due for our moment in the sun and i think writing shrek five or six might be that so we all hate
movies at gmail.com for serious business inquiries only absolutely it's very serious so the whales
also like help them i guess the boat like kind of gets into a slipstream situation or something
and they like the or the whales they don't help them go faster the whales direct them to the island
which i'm like why didn't you just do that in the first place why did we even have to stop in
Antonio banderis's house if you can just go to these whales and be like hey man where's that island
That's where the same point was.
Not only it was at the save point, the checkpoint,
you got to get there before you go to the rest of it,
but that's where her journal was.
Yeah, right.
Had a journal about how to use the fruit of the Eden tree or something?
No, and Michael Shee sealed it.
It was a map to the place.
Yeah, it was a journal that had a map in it.
Did Dolittle get it?
He did, but then Michael Sheed took it.
Yes, Michael Sheen stole it from him after he got it.
like my point was
they didn't even need it because all they
do after they lose the map is go
hey whale
where do we get to this island and they're like
right away guv and they just like
they show him so it's like you could have just
bypassed all that if you just
asked to whale the first time
but it can't be 80 minutes it's illegal
for the movie to be 80 minutes
I mean I will say again
there's definitely
the first cut of this movie is absolutely two and a half
hours long and somebody was like absolutely
not and I want to make a statue
of that person because it's only an hour
and 49 minutes which is a blessing
well here's
the thing it's a blessing
that it's so short but it's
cut up and incomprehensible I would
point out the Rex Harrison
movie is two and a half hours
long and it's breezy
oh is that right
maybe if this movie was longer it would at least like
make a little more sense
I don't know I felt like it wouldn't feel like
such a chop job. Yeah, it feels like I'm in
like quicksand with this movie. Like I
like I said, it feels like it's as long
as the Irishman, even though
it's like an hour and 49 minutes. I just felt
like it went on forever until the dragon
part. Right.
It sucks.
I watched this movie
on a New Year's Day.
It was the first movie that I watched in
2021. The last movie
that I watched in 2020 was Dr.
Javago, which is over
three hours long, the cut that we watched.
and you know what it was fucking great and it totally flew by like a better better movie well it's a better movie of course but it's it's a movie that is significantly longer than this movie and whereas i didn't feel a drag in dr javago this movie was a drag top to bottom and it's like half its runtime oh you do need someone who knows how to you know entrance an audience i guess you were david leans a little bit better than stephen
Gagon. Yeah, the pacing is a little easier in
Chavago. But yeah, he gets to this island with Michael
Sheen and they're setting up a camp to go into this super
cave where the dragon is. Dude, you have a shot
of these animals all scaling this mountainside?
Okay, like, I don't know, man. One of these things
has fallen to their death. You know what I mean? I mean, that's the thing is
one of these animals needs to die or have a brush with death
and we can see Dr. Doolittle, it'll be a fucking doctor.
That would be great, yes, exactly.
Oh, man, not a psychiatrist.
Like, oh, man, I broke my leg, Doc.
What are you going to do about it?
And he fucking fixes it.
It's adorable.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Because the only doctoring you get is at the end of this movie with one of the animals
that we just meet, like, in that scene.
So it's not any of the characters, you know, the beloved characters you've come to
love throughout this movie.
He bandaged the squirrel in the beginning.
And then, like, the fucking giraffe does a long.
jump at one point and all the legs
would just be gone at that point
so why don't help the giraffe maybe
or I mean because I don't know man
like I got a feeling this gorilla's
fallen off this mountainside absolutely
and then just a bunch of pies
at the bottom of the
mountain
so you know they get to the mouth of this cave
and oops Michael Sheen is there already
but then sheen
like sheen's like oh good
I'm glad you're here you know you can
lead us to this tree and Dr. Doolittle's like I don't know where this fucking tree is and then
like Michael Sheen gets so pissed off well the weird thing is like Michael Sheen's mission from
Jim Broadbent is to just make sure that Dr. Doolittle doesn't save the queen's life so should
we have killed him at any other point other than you know what I mean like yep but then
later on like when he when they're betraying him on fucking pirate island he's like oh that's because
I'm going to get all the credit for discovering Eden tree island when did this happen why
is this the story you're totally right dude it's like all he has to do is stall for time and just
wait it out because this woman's been poisoned like you know who cares about your
dude if you discover it right the people are going to be like hey man uh you know michael sheen
you could have gone back and saved the queen with this fruit you discovered it's good point
but you're saying you discovered this fruit and then didn't save her what's that about that's a great
point i mean just shoot do little or something because i mean i think
that's laid out that Michael Sheen gets
like a house entitled, he gets
to be the head of the Royal Medicine
Academy or something if the queen dies.
So to shoot this guy and sit pretty,
discover something later.
Yeah, you know how to get there, like, just come back.
You got the journal, do it.
So, you know, and he's like, so, you know,
I'm going to be the one who gets credit for discovering
this island and he plants
the British flag down on the ground
and uh-oh, you actually
poked the flesh of a dragon
who's been sleeping in this cave
and I'm like, I already knew
there was a dragon in this movie like that had already
been spoken of because this movie came out like
what, January of 2020?
So like people have spoiled this
which is just fine. Don't worry about it. Not a complaint
from me. But like, I feel like had I not known that
I would have been like
gobsmacked. Like, wait,
there's a, there's a dragon
in this movie now, ladies and
gentlemen, this movie certainly does drag on.
Maybe that's the ultimate trolling.
It's like, oh, you think the movie's long now, do you?
Well, now there's a drag on.
I mean, I don't think the, the dragon might not have surprised me.
What occurs with the dragon would surprise?
It surprised me the first time I saw it.
I was like, what?
This is what you, this is all leading up to.
By the way, really hilariously to break in here, newsflash, this is one of the highest grossing movies of 2020, if you could believe it.
Number seven with a bullet, my friends.
Oh, wow.
Inside the top ten, ain't that a bitch?
You know, just some reasons, you know.
Circumstances.
Circumstances, you know.
Yeah, so like this dragon starts waking up.
Michael Sheen, and this is the thing, like, props to the movie for killing the wife off,
but like Michael Sheen needed to also stay dead here when he falls off a cliff into darkness.
Like, I'm sorry.
He needs to be there chomped.
by that dragon or burned by that dragon.
Yep, you're totally right. And he said, it's
just him being like a, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
And he falls off this cliff and you're like, okay. And then the other offscreen thing
that's bullshit is this dragon picks up
one of Sheen's guys and totally chars him off screen.
And it's just in service of the only duck joke I remember
is the duck is looking at this crispy critter situation happen.
And then she goes like, whoa!
and lays an egg and you're like
all right that's kind of like a shitting
your pants joke I get it
did you guys stick around the credits and see what
happens to Michael Sheet? Yes
yep yeah it's it's also dumb
but so yeah then this dragon
starts talking the dragon is voiced by
Francis Delator
the only thing I remembered her from is she
is in one
of a few of them there Harry Potter movies
yes that's the giant queen
lady or whatever she is
yes yes she's the head of
I think it's like the French school.
Yes, and she's a giant herself.
She's like bang and hag right at the end of that series.
Yeah, the raw dog.
Nice.
Bang and Hagrid.
Nice.
I'm got a girlfriend, Harry.
Hag in the bag.
Hag in the bag.
That's my favorite brassers title.
If you can read this, Harry, the hag fell off.
I'm being fucked Harry.
Hi, Harry.
If you come bar my shack and.
Midnight tonight, you won't last 15 minutes.
All right, Harry, I know he said the policy was you and your friends could drop by old Hagrid's place whenever you wanted.
But rules and situations have changed, Harry, if you come by my old shack and it's a rocking, you and your little friends best not come a knocking, eh, Harry?
I'm slamming ass, Harry.
I'm about to watch a banging Hangrid three, wet beard, a cat white.
Wait, Hagrid is watching pornography that he's also starring him?
No, no, no.
This is like back in the suburbs.
He's just a porn star now.
After his days with Harry Potter.
I can't get the lube out of my beard.
It's dripping like it's all like to slide.
I just dip it in a vat of loo and pull it out.
That's awful.
Imagine him naked covered in Lou.
No, no.
I don't want to, I do not want to imagine Robbie Coltrane naked, thank you.
Fucking like dragon talks to him and fox them and then maybe some horses or whatever else gets involved.
Well, speaking of dragons and do little, he takes a look at this dragon and he's determining that the dragon has an impacted colon because of all the loneliness and stress.
And you're like, okay.
That's my problem too.
not this holiday food
seriously
so he's like
all right dragon
let's see what we can do here
all my animal friends
roll this dragon under her side
and oh yeah I bet it's a little tender
right there huh
and I guess he touches
like a dragon hemorrhoid
or something
because she starts like freaking out
and he's like all right
let me get in here
and he uses
and there's a joke
that they really just try
their best to keep making work
in this movie
where the duck
is his like medical assistant
and when he asks for different
like medical instruments
she just keeps giving him
like vegetables and stuff
so she gives him
a thing of leaks right here
and he's like
oh leaks yes
would any good Welsh person
blah blah blah
and I'm like okay
the Welsh do like their leaks
that's fine
and then I think he's using
this leak
it's going to prop
it open right
so it's I mean like literally
you don't talk about browser
he is putting
leaks up her
ass. Yeah, but maybe like
he might be doing both holes. We don't know.
Yeah, who knows what's going on down
there? Well, I think it's a thing to like
prop it up like a tent.
So then he can get in there. Because then he's taking
all this stuff out of her ass like it's jaws.
Richard Dreyfus cuts open the shark.
There's like helmets falling out and shit.
I think this dragon burps up a license
plate. It's a battalion from the Spanish
army. Yeah.
There's like, Kistador helmets
and stuff. The little kitten voice pops
out. It's really something.
and then like
he's like
oh and this next part here
and he like moves
and then like he gets farted
in his face
the dragon just lets some gas out
and like it is someone turned on like
a turbo fan on the set
to Robert Denny Jr.'s
Because he's getting knocked back by this
win and it's not he's selling it like
oh it's perfectly natural it's okay now
you can fart in my face
and everybody does it
What did he be set on fire?
Yeah, exactly.
Dragon with a fire blood.
Like, this is, you'd imagine something would like this methane gas on fire.
It's insane.
And then, like, he keeps digging shit out of there.
And then he definitely has a line where he's like, all right now, dragon.
Uh, yes, there should be one last push, madam, and we'll be finished.
Yes, exactly.
This dragon is screaming.
And he falls backwards and pulls a full set of bagpipes out of this dragon's ass.
come on i see the problem madam you've got a fusili jerry stuck up there
million to one shot doc million to one
it is just the bagpipes are really silly i mean it's i it's just kind of gross and like
you i don't know like a movie wherein it's all about actual animals
introducing a dragon this late in the game is just a no go for me yep yep and it's like
i get their logic it's like well this is a you know
know undiscovered un inhabited magical island yada yada and i'm like okay but there is an army of
animals in this movie that you've done nothing with except have like vague psychological problems
it could be a big alligator like a really scary alligator yeah you know sure oh yeah it's like
a tropical island yeah you could make that work and you didn't even like use it like they used
the whales twice like i was like he's like we have to find the coordinates of the boat and i was like
why don't you use dolphins or sharks or like literally any other animal and it's like
I would have liked a little bit more variety of just like other things he can talk to I don't
know if I didn't need the dragon I didn't need the supernatural would be good also what is the gag
about there's two little like capuchin looking monkeys that don't talk but they have names
that was unfortunate they're the lawyers yeah there's lawyers yeah there's like a baby lion
at one point.
It's like a BB.
Oh, right.
That thing totally gets
dropped from the movie.
Yes.
It creep me right out too.
Because it's like a fucking
screen saver from the lion.
But yeah,
so the bag,
here's the thing I have to say.
And I think it's like,
you know,
because you can keep it a PG movie,
like the blessing here
is that none of the stuff
popping out of this fucking dragon's ass
ass is like soaked.
Oh yeah.
covered in blood blood and shit doesn't r dj get covered in some of like her vomit or bile at some
yes is it the dragon yeah like yeah like sort of like sneezes something in his face or something
because he's like wrapped up in her tail at one point and she's like about to eat him oh no chich we've
we've got an anal tear we're going to have to do emergency surgery
it's dangerous dude it's not not all fun in games down there definitely no dude you can get a pro-lap
situation going come on let's get into the real deal medical stuff exactly even though i guess
so he's firmly a psychologist in this and not an md well no it's it's i think it's both yeah because
he does do you know the surgery on the squirrel at the beginning that's true gets the pellet out of
He moves a bullet from a squirrel, okay.
Yeah.
The bullet's doing just fine.
So we get the fucking, the dragon is fine.
We know that because it goes from red to blue.
Like an actual video game shit.
Like that's fucking.
Yeah.
You're totally right, dude.
It's like, oh, now, you know what?
The dragon's not blinking anymore.
We've defeated it.
And then like we're putting around the island.
We find he only takes one of these fruits.
I would take like a bushel.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
What are you doing?
You can go back to and cure the fucking plague or whatever else is going on, dude.
Yeah.
And this is the point, like, he's just putter around the aisle.
I'm like, and then his wife shows up.
And then his wife shows up. And then his wife. And it happened. I was shocked. I was really shocked. I was shocked too.
It was crazy. Or like, you know, when he unimpacks the asshole of that dragon, it turns back into the wife.
Yes. Oh, how about this? He pulls out his wife, Skellington, from her butt.
Oh, really? That would be so funny. Oh, that's, that's, that's.
That's the wedding ring I gave.
You must learn to forgive, Dr. Doolittle.
You must learn to forgive.
No, we must kill this dragon.
Yeah, he's ready to slay this dragon.
Dude definitely finds a sword somewhere.
That'd be something.
It's kind of surprising that with a dragon that breathes fire in this movie,
there's no moment where Robert Downey Jr.
is brandishing a sword for some reason.
I feel like this should have been a...
You're going this far to put a dragon in this movie.
How about a sword in the stone?
Just right there.
Sure.
Yeah, I mean, you're too busy putting pillows and blankets on his face or whatever the fuck they're doing it, like the hats on his dick or whatever the hell.
But at this point, like, Excalibur, sure, Merlin, fucking Gandalf, whatever you want.
Exactly.
Yeah, because they're gonna pepper and some Gandalf.
Some hobbits.
Just do it.
Whatever you want to do.
The sword and the stone.
Oh, only, only Dr. Doolittle can understand what the hobbits are saying with their creepy little mouths.
Oh, ew.
Ew, ew.
Oh, my God.
of all the creatures I've seen
in the wooded forest, these hobbits
are...
Am I supposed to talk to the feet?
The hairy feet?
The feet.
Yeah, that's how you've got to talk to hobbits.
Their mouths are on their feet.
Yeah, so then we just, we fucking race back to
England is the idea.
You know, because this woman is about
to expire. And Jim Broadbent is like,
he's got the priest in there, like, doing the last
right's like oh yes i am going to be the king of england soon enough now uh and then they like break
in you know robert denger jr runs in i think on the bear or something yes and the ostrich maybe
i don't know and then he's oh i think um and the giraffe shows up all this stuff i mean we should
say that she was poisoned by jim broadband by the way and he's for some reason he's still keeping
the poison on him like dude this lady is dead yeah that that's true
it's like in his coat pocket you got to toss that shit well
his credit he couldn't have foreseen that he would be done in by a stick bug who's been hanging
out on a painting for like what a week or something yeah in jesse buckley's room i mean that's how
like he's like he's like yes poison yes in jim broadbent's buck oh yes let's end the movie
shall we yes let's end the movie now uh so they yeah they race in and it's again it's got
to be a huge last second action sequence where like this little kid
is flying up
like on a chandelier or some shit
and he like has to squeeze the
fruit right over the queen's mouth and just the
little droplet falls on her
I'm just like give her
this fruit and let's end this
why does that be a thing where there's like
there's a fight scene in this this scene
like we're doing this whole fight
the octopus is strangling a guy
like it's just
it's enough
it's over with it's too much
it's too much
and then it ends with him
back at his mansion beautiful mansion and it's dr doolittle and associates now because we're
pitching a showtime show folks you're right and the the fucking placard completely changed it's like
oh and also adventures oh and choir within that's the best thing it's like open for adventures it's
like literally like hey we're looking for a deal here we can we can get uh robert deli jr to come
in for like two episodes of season please please pick us up please i think you're right it's those
it's the two little ass kids because also like the girl
gives him like a little peck on the cheek thing
like thanks for saving
I don't know my cousin
or however I'm related
Yes
Is that your girlfriend
No
Mama grampy
And I'm saying you do a dating now
Also you need the thing
Where like Jim Broadbent is executed
Yeah
Yeah
Because it's just a like
Take him away kind of a thing
This is high treason dude
yep exactly and it would be like
oh we brought in a special
friend and he's in a cage
and then that Jewish tiger comes back
yeah it's like he's on loan
from Antonio Benderas to eat you alive
Jim Brod and we see like the tiger
now has like this giant like
cast over his nuts
I still cannot believe that that exists in this
movie he's asking Jim Broadbent
if he knows where any good conishes are
And yeah, you know, the movie gets to the credits, thankfully, without bringing this wife back from the dead, which is great.
You know, we've got, there's a funny thing where it's all told to us in painting form only, because the credits are running at this point.
And again, maybe this was in this longer cut that got butchered.
But there's a whole like Star Wars-esque, we're all getting medals for saving the queen.
at the end of this movie and it's all these little paintings depicting it and i mean man unlike star
wars with fucking chubacca dude these these little uh animals are all getting uh little freedom
medals here well they're all like getting like a royalty dude like people are like dude that the
dog's a duke oh man my dog duke who's also a duke uh so that's kind of you know they're like
continuing the story in painting form which again i was like you should have just
made it an animated movie. It would have been pretty cool.
And then the Stinger scene we should just talk about really quickly.
Yeah. It sets up nothing. Like so Michael Sheen didn't die in that fall, but he, I guess maybe I'm
choosing to look at it this way because at least the villain gets some come up and he's eaten
by these bats. Yes. Oh. I think he's trying to talk to the bats and like, I'm like,
are they going to set up evil doctor do a little here? No. No, no, no. He's going to become the
Batman. Oh, I see.
come on you know and it's a thing though where he does try to talk to the bats in in bat
and the bats like you see their little cgai face like whatever he says to them it's like offensive
and i think that's the perfect time for his subtitle joke yeah just really quickly put in a subtitle
joke oh what did michael sheen actually say to this bat something about his dead mother like
okay and then the bats attack him because as it is like you know you see all the little red lies
eyes light up and it's like
oh there's a bunch of bats in here and then they all
kind of like fly towards the camera
much like a Batman movie and I guess
he's kind of screaming but I need to see this
dude fucking chewed up man in my head
canon I was like okay they're eating his face
got yeah totally exactly
well I guess this movie inspired our imaginations after
all yeah I mean I want him to like
call them blood suckers and he's like
no you don't get to call us that and then
he eats them up
oh that would be great dude you make some like vampire reference and they're furious dude's a little racist to the little bats I don't like it we don't like that hashtag not all bats dude
we're very useful in the in the animal kingdom we carry a lot of diseases too but come on be nice to us oh yeah he gets COVID 1 yeah COVID 1878 or whatever this dumb movie takes place uh and man blissfully
That's the end of this movie.
I gotta like take a breather here for a second.
Would anybody recommend do little?
No, it's kind of a waste.
It's a total waste of time.
There's just nothing here.
And again,
the only thing you would want is Robert Danny Jr.
Having a good time,
which he's just totally settled with this bad accent
and kind of barely in the movie.
Like he's just not in it a whole lot,
which is kind of weird screen time-wise.
It just sucks and it's a waste of time
and it's an abomination that's,
yeah absolutely terrible movie i i kind of i wanted to see this because i am really interested in
what the fuck he wants to do after iron man and it seems like baby shit yeah producing and baby
shit and like and just whatever franchises he's still connected to and that's sad to me because
he's an incredible actor to me uh but yeah i hate this movie and you should never see it
well you know this movie did get uh you got a tiger
getting kicked in the nerds so it's got that going for it but it's still a don't little for me
so don't see it's don't little yeah i mean chris i agree with you that like i i love rdj and i'm
just waiting to see like what is the next thing and i mean you look at that i mdb the only thing
that's coming up is that sherlock holmes three which i mean who even knows what that's about
I would not be surprised if he's floating in this third Spider-Man movie in some way.
Like if we're doing all these universes and whatnot, you know.
Oh, by the way, I just looked at my notes.
I almost forgot something in this little ending here back at Do Little Manor.
Another boy gets trapped in the net.
It's like the postman boy or whatever, the male boy.
Oh, they're just going to eat that kid probably.
But it's just like, is this designed to capture children?
What is going on at Do Little Manor?
oh man yeah that's right dude it should have been a much more nefarious dr doolittle
yeah dark little
oh that's in the dark little universe that's going to be starting up by universal
oh god the talking animal universe
how about dr jackal and mr hyde versus dr dark little he talks to all the evil
animals you're gonna get a two hour movie what's an evil animal
what's an evil animal yeah like
So it would just be like what?
Like snakes and bats?
No, no, he just knows English.
It just talks to people.
Oh, man.
That is Doolittle.
That, for whatever reason, wasn't called Dr. Doolittle from 2020.
Directed, sort of, written sort of by Stephen Gagan.
Woof, man.
That was a tough one.
And we will continue on the worst of 2020 here on We Hey movies all throughout this month.

It's a horror movie

or Twitter or letterbox like people like
obsessed with like little niche
distributors like that
Blumhouse
oh 824
it's like
calm down it's just another fucking movie
company
yep
yeah well I mean
Blumhouse is a production company
that just insists on putting
their name in front of everything like that matters
and I guess maybe it matters
to some people they see that they're like
oh man the new Blumhouse horror movies
coming. That's how I read in the 90s
that's how I acted to
what was that offshoot
of Miramax Dimension
film? Yeah, I love dimension
dude. You were in for
a genre-tastic good time
with dimension. But so next
week we are going to TV adaptation
town with Fantasy Island. This movie
is rather crazy.
This one I have seen before so I can
testament to its craziness.
