This week on the program. Do you ever see Hulk Hogan wear a wig you doing this one?
It's Mr. Nanny. I'm Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sadek, Eric Siska, Hulk Cabin, and I'm Clint Worthington.
And we hate movies.
Hello everyone. Welcome to We Hey Movies. Thank you for tuning in. As always, that's right. We are talking Mr. Nanny.
1993 directed by Michael Gottlieb and we are happy to welcome friend of the show Clint
Worthington on finally here you are what is going on my friend oh thank you so much for
having me on I just ever since you guys has started to do to do this podcast I knew that
you needed a fifth white guy so I was very very happy to fill that important role for you
thank you so much finally yeah but yeah I'm doing all right I'm a film critic
out of out of Chicago I also famously do the podcast
Travolta Cage with Nathan Rabin, who most of you, I believe, have guessed it on, either that or our previous iteration, Nathan Rabin's happy cast, where we go through the filmographies of one Sir John Travolta and one Sir Nicholas Cage in chronological order because we're very fascinated in them as cultural figures and want to figure out like what makes them tick. And at first it was going to be a contest to see who's better. But from episode one, we knew it was Cage. So it's more of an anthropological thing at this point. But on top of that, I also run my own site, the spool.
that does film and TV reviews and podcasts.
And you can also find my headlines at Consequence of Sound, Vulture, Indie Wire, Nerdist, a whole bunch of places.
I'm way too busy.
Please tell me to stop.
I was going to say, dude, like, just you describing all that shit, I was getting tired.
I'm exhausted right now.
So we are here.
This is, let's see now, we definitely did, um, suburban commando.
Suburban Commando.
Suburban Commando, we did that as a live show one time.
And we did, what is the other one?
No holds barred.
Yes. No holds barred.
What are we missing here?
Also, Gremlins 2.
Oh, sure. That's right.
Grimlins 2 should be
available on our Patreon.
Yes. Very soon.
Rocky 3 we've yet to get to.
I do want to. Yeah, I mean, like there's that
that three ninjas movie, which may
make a mountain. That also might
be coming up because we
at this point, I haven't done our listener request month
poll yet. And that thing was requested.
thousand times so we'll see
we might be going back to Hulk country
we're not sure yet back to back
months of doing Hulk Hogan movies
fuck this pandemic I like it how about
how about a Hulk cage or something
yeah sure sure that'll last
that'll last nearly as long
no it would have to be like
it would be Hulk and James Earl Jones something
you know what I mean like you get up cage again
has to be yeah two figures of
equal cultural import yes for sure
James Earl slash
We should say, just because I accidentally said James Earl Jones, we should start this off
by saying that Hulk Hogan is a racist.
So just want to put that out there.
Right, right.
What was that again?
Can we let's let's go down memory lane here.
I think he was in, it was in his sex tape.
He just went on some rant, right?
Am I wrong?
I made a joke transit, like at the last episode like where this is coming up made a sex tape
joke obviously, but now like that dude took down Gawker.
He could take down WHF Podcast.com.
It is sleep.
Yeah, he's going to get the lawyers back out.
Here we go.
Big legal allegedly everywhere, but I think that guy's allegedly a huge racist.
Well, was it on the sex tape that he was using the N-word or was it someplace else?
I don't know.
I do not know.
Yes, let's please figure out when he said the N-word.
When he organisms, he says it.
Because, I mean, that would be a real bummer because that sex tape was one of the greatest lines
in American home cinema is when he burps and just goes,
ain't too much pork
I meant to re-watch it before this
but I forgot
Dude I was looking for it
He got it scrubbed from the internet
I think he might have because I couldn't find it
Because I was trying to find out
A where this this N-word thing happened
Because it was just sort of like
Somewhat related to the sex tape
I was like is it in the sex tape
If so I guess I have to watch it
Oops but it's not around
Which is a real bummer
I just come back
Allegedly we should say
Right. For what I remember, the only thing I remember about the sex date, which I have not seen, I'm just reading pieces from Gawker, IP Gawker.
I feel like there's one point where he like weeps to whoever his partner is, and then about like how small his penis is.
Oh, is that right?
Really?
I feel like that happened.
I could also be very wrong.
Please don't sue me for defamation.
Terrence Hogan.
Listen.
Yeah.
You'll get to it on your Hulk Hogan podcast.
Yes, exactly.
Actually, before we get started, I do want to.
and just really hit play really quickly.
Coming soon to theaters.
Hey! Hey! It's the VHS trailer game, everybody.
America's favorite game show about obsolete materials.
We are so excited because this is going to be a guest version.
We've got someone on the guest team, Clint Worthington, now the guests have five points
thus far. So you can bring the guests up, you know, you can bring the guests over Eric
Ciscus, what I guess is. Easily, easily. But, but as,
people know. People have come to find
this VHS trailer game that
Steve courageously invented so he doesn't
have to play in it.
All the points go directly
to Chris Cabin. There's some weird
like dark money thing happening.
It's all zeros and then
60 right now, I believe.
Yeah, that's what else.
No, I have some points.
Yeah, all right. Let me do the roundup
here. And we should say
this is including the new total
from our Terminator Dark Fate show,
which if you didn't see it,
sorry, it's gone, but we did play
the VHS trailer game on the show.
At those points, Steve, you said, counted
in game, in season.
They do, but you know what? I didn't write them
down, so I got to put the back.
Oh, son of a bitch bastard.
It's very easy for you, Steve.
So just take all those points and just give me to Chris
cat. Yeah, whatever the top. So that was,
there were three of them, I think. So that's 15 points.
No, no, no. We can wrap it up
now, actually.
No, so first of all, one thing, all, all, so the pre-Dark Fate game, which I will have in the next one, the points are Andrew has 19.
Okay.
Eric has 11, which isn't bad.
Rigged.
And then Chris has 26.
And the guests have five.
So, Clint, I really do meet it.
You could beat Eric here.
You could really come up and come over the top on Eric, which would be nice.
I will try to honor guests past, so.
That's right.
And the prize is obviously, obviously, is the winner at the end of the season sometime in August will get to use the We Hate Movies Slush Fund to create a cameo of their choice.
And now Stephen Tobolowski is on the board, ladies and gentlemen.
That's rad.
Using Tobo would be a cheat, though, man.
Because, like, we've had Tobo on the show.
You know, we have Tobos contact information.
Yeah, but the only way you'll have me on the show now, Andrew, is through my cameo.
pay up motherfuck
Exactly
You got deep pockets
Mark McGrath or nobody
That's a good one
Actually though
What is the Hulk Hogan status on cameo
Because that could be something
That is a great question
We'll have to look into that
Because if I won and he was on there
I would just do
All right Hulk Hogan
You just have to tell everybody
That you had too much pork
And then Ty
Terry managed to do it
Without using any racist slurs
Yep, that's going to cost you $20 million, brother.
You just got sued.
Hulk Hogan does not seem to be on cameo,
but Chavon Fallon Hogan is...
Oh, nice.
Well, that's close.
Yeah, Dancer in the Dark Zone.
Okay, so the way this works, for Clint,
I'm going to read out a series of clues.
The second you think you've got it,
you should hit your buzzer there,
which is going to be right in front of you
and the way it works
is there's going to be five clues for
each movie, each
one descending in order
so the first clues worth five points all the way down
when you guess in game
you're out for that round
so if you guess and get it wrong
you can't guess in subsequent clues
seems fair? Nope
okay
so this is off a
1993 VHS tape
just to put you in that mindset
the first two are
coming soon to theaters
even so much so
a little clue
not even a clue but
these are real like teaser trailers
they didn't have any footage of these movies yet
which is kind of hilarious
oh Jesus okay
and the third one is a
what do you call it there
and the third one was a coming soon to do video
round one
the game master's clue
it is a comedy sequel involving
a treasure map that has a one of a kind
subtype Eric Cisco
City Sickers 2
Curly's Gold
Legend of Curly's Gold
That's five big points
For Eric Sis
Guys see dude
Oh wait
No but I'm sorry
No those goes to me remember
Right
I'm sorry Eric
But you don't get any
They all go to me
The cool thing about
This trailer is literally just
Billy Crystal
Jogging with a cow
And it's just like
Norman we gotta get in shape
The new movie's coming
Huh
Oh Norman here it comes
That sucks
It's really something
Seat belts, Norman, seatbelts.
I mean, that's, both of those are stay tuned, right?
I haven't seen either of those in the number ever.
Total state tunes.
I had a nonsensical crush on the woman who plays his wife in those movies when I was a kid.
She was the lady from the Langalears too.
Sorry, Kevin, what are you saying?
I just rewashed City Slickers, and it starts out like a fucking Bergman movie.
Daniel Stern is getting like divorced.
It's fucking nuts.
At the grocery store, right?
Yes, he fucks, uh, Lisa Simpson.
Yeah, yes, he fucks this.
Isn't she knocked up? Like, that's the thing is like she comes in and she's like,
Daniel Stern, I'm pregnant.
Yep.
We should, we should mention that the actress who plays Lisa,
voices Lisa Simpson.
It's not like,
you want to call her.
It's not Roger Rabbit.
Yeah, it's not deviant art or, uh,
something you see pop up when you try to get porn or something.
You'll never believe what Peter Griffin and Lisa Simpson got up to.
I would love a lewd drawing of Daniel Stern
the Simpsons. Please don't. You know what? Give your personal email. DM that to Eric, please.
I mean, how do you even do a porn parody of Bushwhacked? I asked. Me and Eric have been working on work for many years now. It's coming.
Quarantine's the perfect time to finish. Exactly. Guy fucks the Simpsons, has a little drink, watches a little Leno, has a cigarette, goes to sleep. Anyway. All right. So, round two. Here we go. Big points for Eric there.
You know, I'm going to write this down, so I don't forget.
Hey, good idea.
That's actually a theory I should be working on that you're just like not writing down all my big wins.
No, there are real, what do you call it there?
Clock watchers out there that have a better record than I do.
Stop the steel.
Thank you.
I agree.
Round two.
Game Master's Clue.
A kids movie that was a previous episode of this program.
I think Roger Ebert hated this movie.
movie more than we did. Andrew Jupin. North. That is five points for Andrew Jupin.
Yeah. See, Eric, it's the week for the losers, my friend. We are catching up. But as you
know, those points go to me now. Right. Because you guys don't get to win ever. You are saying
the quiet part loud, Kevin. I think what's happening is Chris is just like, you know, he knows all the
answers and he's just taking a dive right now to make this game seem believable for when he gets seven.
70 points next week.
You've got to build the horse race.
It's five dimensional chess.
I've been practicing.
Alternate theory,
Clint Worthington is the cooler of Chris.
You get him on here.
He just kind of cools him a little bit.
Oh, yeah.
Now, that's a nice,
a nice theory.
I like that.
Cool in the hot hand.
I will have massive dumps of a trailer knowledge.
Here coming soon.
Quick question,
Tribune, trivia,
because I do all these things that we never get to.
Tribune, Tribune, Tribune for North.
This is the lone film.
appearance of Bryn Hartman
the wife and murderer of Phil Hartman
I don't think we got to that on the episode
I actually didn't know that
I think we didn't cut it out
That's well
Well cut it again entirely entirely possible
Yeah
Who does she play a serial killer?
I didn't look it up but I'm sure she just plays a benign woman
Gotcha
That was her credit I think was a benign woman
Okay the last of these
Which is actually I would say
The trickiest it's a
It's a movie that time forgot.
So that's actually in my clue here.
So much so that I actually put a little bit of the IMDB synopsis
because I was like, what is this movie?
Like I'd heard of it.
Wow.
But I didn't remember it at all.
Okay.
Okay.
Game Master's Clue.
A little kid road trip movie that time forgot.
Here's a snippet from the IMDB synopsis.
Their plot to run away from home is disguised as a covert operation to get...
Oh, we got Clint Worthington.
is it Sam and Max
Oh you're so close
I cannot give it to you
I gotta give it to Chris Cabin who raised his hand
Josh and Sam
Josh and Sam
What in the ever loving fuck is that movie
Because the Sam is like an acronym
Right yes yeah yeah yeah it's a robot
Yeah
He thinks he's a robot I think
No what I was reading up is that the kid
The older brother Josh is like
Sam you're a secret robot
You have to go, you have to fight a secret war in Africa, and we have to get to Canada to stop that from happening.
Yikes, the motion picture.
Yeah.
I've seen this numerous times.
I remember, I think I had this on VHS.
It sounds kind of familiar to me, too.
I probably saw it, like, on cable one point, but.
The, the selling point is it's two, like, shitty kids driving a car.
Like, they're little, little kids driving a car around the country, kind of a thing.
And that's the VHS covers.
They're leaning against the car.
starring one Stephen
Tobolasky, by the way, in case you're
wondering. Which of the kids was he?
You got to write the cameo to find out.
Uh-oh. The S is Stephen.
And then, well, no,
it doesn't, there's no, anyone.
Stephen acting machine.
Thank you. Stephen acting machine.
Look at this cast.
She was a student.
Martha Plimpton, Tobo,
Joan Allen, Chris Penn,
uh, Mori Chakin.
Then it kind of peters out.
Oh, wait, no, it doesn't.
Jake Gyllenhaal.
Many games.
So that's the VHS trailer game.
Thank you all for playing.
Five more points for Chris,
which kind of almost negates Andrew and Eric's points.
But they still count.
Of course they do.
Wait, wait, I got five points.
Chris got, what, 17 for what he just said?
Yes, yes.
He just does it better than you, dude.
I'm sorry, I got to give him more points.
The style counts.
all right well so now unfortunately we do have to talk about Mr. Nanny
this movie starts off hilariously with Hulk Hogan like fishing on a pier
and it kind of I don't know it really sets the mood for what this movie is right
falls asleep while fishing I think because he had a big pork and sex luncheon
yeah like because he's wearing that like obnoxiously large fishing jacket
and I imagine all of those pockets are various snacks
Hey, I ran out of fruit snacks, brother.
The boat from Thunder and Paradise had just run out of gas.
And he was just like, well, I'll wait for it to fill up.
Oh, these are just cheese. It's crumbs.
Oh, boy.
Got this pocket full of pork, just loose pork.
I love that he's traumatized by professional wrestling.
Oh, my God.
Just he's having these flashbacks about getting his fucking ass kicked in the ring.
Who did I see here?
Brutus Beefcake is in this scene
Brutus Beefcake is Jim the Anvold
Ninehart and I believe
Kamala
Who I believe he's died right
They're all dead right
I would assume
George the Anvil
The George of the Animal Steel
Yes
Yes
No Brutus Beefcake is still alive Chris
I'm pretty sure
He's a wrestler
Great point
Yeah I don't know
I wish we knew more about
What this match was though
Because it is like a six on one
And it kind of
It must be like
Due to the fact that this is
supposed to be like a nightmare sequence.
Because Hulk Hogan, I think, is wearing his fishing uniform in the ring.
Yeah.
Maybe that was his, nope, here comes the fisherman.
You get the fish cook.
That's a, that's a finisher.
They were really going for that, like, raging bowl beginning.
You know what I mean?
They have to, like, really soak you into the immediacy of the ring.
And, well, the best part about it is, like, because the credits are going over this, too.
And whenever a new credit comes up, it frees frames on him, making just another increasingly, like, grotesque face.
he's one of the ugliest human beings to ever headline a motion picture and this movie really makes it clear yeah
I mean like you you would just hear the announcers saying oh my god oh my god beefcake has fishermen on the hook oh no
he ain't throwing him back tonight baby and we should point out that uh that Hulk is credited here as Terry Hulk Hogan
absolutely yeah well that was I think is that
not the case for all of his motion picture appearances
because that's not his real name. No, his real name is like Terry Savalas or something.
No, Terry Balea. He wishes, man. He wishes.
Yeah, not to be confused with Telly Savalas, Cabin.
He was like Gene Bologna in real life, right?
It is also really disheartening in these opening credits to see
just how much David Johansson put into this movie.
Oh, he put a heart and soul.
Performing, like, he is the villain in this.
this movie, such as a villain
is in this movie, I guess.
And, yeah, just all of the music
that he offered up
either as himself or Buster Poindexter.
I mean, what the hell
did he owe Hulk Hogan? I don't understand
why he's so involved in this movie.
I feel like he had... I think he had
to, like, show up at a Royal Rumble at some
point, right? Well, I mean, he was swinging
for it at this point, I think, with the
acting, right? Because he was in Scrooge, in 88.
He was really trying to get somewhere
of Car 54, where are you, as
what, a year after or before this?
Oh, wow. I forgot that he's in that movie.
That's that I dare you to watch that movie.
That movie is so
excruciatingly bad. I could,
I dare you to get through it.
I fucking dare you to find it. I don't know where you can
get that movie now. It's not,
it's not around anymore, huh? No, that one's difficult
to find. As I last
checked it. Last time I checked. I wonder
why. I wonder if there's something in there. Maybe
there's some racism and pork or something.
Yeah. I will say this is,
I was looking at it. This is the first.
time he was credited as
Hulk, Terry Hulk
Belaia, or Terry
Hulk Hogan, rather.
You know, all of his
other movies were Hulk Hogan
movies at that point. Oh, okay.
This is him trying for his Oscar.
This is him trying to transition into a more
of a star presence, you know?
This is like when the rock started going as
Dwayne Johnson more.
And actually, yeah.
Thunder in Paradise. He was also
Terry Hulk Hogan, which is
really something. This seems more like
a Saturn Award. I don't think he was going
that big. I think he was always
trying to get around in that area.
I will say this also co-stars
one of my favorite actors as a child,
Austin Pendleton.
Yes. Oh, sure. He's been in everything
that's good, it seems. He's great.
He's a great actor. He's
like a New York theater guy.
Played a real fucking creep on a
law and order criminal intent one time,
I remember. He steals the show
in Michael and Vinny, in my opinion. Like, that
sequence with him as the
stuttering lawyer is just the
funniest thing. Oh, sure. Yeah, I forgot
that was him too. Yeah, no, he's totally
great. Yeah, he's the dad
in this movie who is an
inventor,
who's now on like a level of like a
Bezosian kind of
I started this in my garage
and now I'm super rich kind of
a thing.
But he can't take care of his kids.
He can't pay attention to his kids.
No, this lazy widower.
Which turns
him into psychopaths.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. These kids are Dan Wright awful. Disgusting little shit boy.
I didn't write down any of the kids' names, but I wrote down some of their other credits.
The boy was in Rookie of the Year and don't tell Mom the babysitter's dead.
He played the same, you know, little shit boy through like most of the early 90s.
He's the beta friend and rookie.
This performance, this little shit boy is the Marilyn Monroe.
It's like, this kid is the little shit boys as Marilyn Monroe is to bomb show.
that's what we're talking about. This game is so
disgusting and so unlikable.
And the girl's right behind him, man. She's a little rotten
piece of shit too. She's a strange little glass menagerie child.
Damn, I don't have her name in front of me, but she went on
to be, she was in the opening scene of Twin Peaks season three being killed by the
box. Madeline Zima.
Yeah, and like Zima herself, she kind of peaked in the 90s and we didn't really hear much
No, she's in, she's in California Cation, having sex with people.
Mostly David DeCovney.
Probably, right.
And I do actually, I remember her from her singular appearance on, that singular, single appearance on that Perry Mason reboot on HBO.
Oh, my God. Yeah.
She was in a season of heroes.
Yes.
Oh, really?
Oh, really?
Which I watched the first season of that.
It had to be the third because that's what I checked out.
It had to be the third.
I think she was like, what do you call it?
Someone's roommate or something like that.
Well, you know, I never watched Heroes and I thought I was like missing out on this gigantic
cultural moment and I'm glad I didn't watch.
Not even kind of.
Heroes was one of those things where like the first season was the only one that was worth
it and then they realized that, oh, this is popular.
We have to do this.
And then the writers were like, oh, we don't have any ideas.
It was supposed to be a limited series.
We don't know what to do anymore.
Or they were going to change cast.
every season, I think, is what I remember.
They were going to, like, do a different set of superheroes,
but they were like, no, everyone likes hero from heroes.
He's a hero.
And, yeah.
Better than both the kids, especially the shit boy.
And you're right, this is one of the all-time shit boys.
Sherman Helmsley walks in on Hulk before he gets him the job.
He was in a different movie, by the way.
Yes, I would agree.
He knows what he, he knows what this should be.
Yes, you're right.
Well, Sherman Helmsley,
man, he was a fucking pro.
He could spot shit a mile away.
He knows what he's doing in this movie.
He knew he had to carry all of these scenes.
Yeah.
Even scenes he wasn't in.
You see me eat that soup?
That chili there?
That's like relaxing.
What is the detail there?
Because he reveals to Hulk Hogan that he hasn't eaten food in a week.
Yeah.
And you're just like, what is this part of this movie right now?
And he's like, oh, here you go, brother.
Here I have the rest of my hormel chili can.
But this movie's got that mean streak of like poverty comedy with Sherman Holmesley.
Like not just that, not eating for a week, but also like there's repo men taking his hot plate while he's using it later in the movie.
There's the phone company guy ripping the actual phone out of the wall, which I don't think they do.
Well, my question is, and I mean, like, I think it's a fairly good one, which is like, what is the pay structure that Austin Pendleton is paying these guys?
Like, is it when the job is done they get paid and nothing?
else because like again
Sherman Holmesley like you should be able to like make some money
off this fucking rich millionaire right
theoretically yeah I think
the way that he sort of
speaks about the payment through
various parts of this film I believe
it is a when the job is done
you're going to get some money because
when the kids turn 18
yes you know once the kids are out
the door because he says something about like
you know oh well
when's hey
hey brother when's the new nanny coming
and Austin Pendleton's like, yeah, we're working on that.
But in the meantime, we'll just, we'll add more money onto whatever I'm offering you.
Ultimately, something like that.
Ultimately, what you really need is an assassin to take out David Johansson.
Yes, be proactive.
This guy's going to be after you.
Or an assassin to kill those kids.
Also, that.
If you want to.
Well, we're wallpapering over, like, the ultimate reason why Hulk Hogan and Sherman Helmsley are involved in this, which is like,
who is it?
Raymond O'Connor
as like the sniveling
security guy for Austin
Pendleton is like
because I guess
Austin Pendleton's like
find me a bodyguard
for these kids
and Frank who's in on it
with David Johansen
whose character name
I must emphasize
is Tommy Thanatos
came out of the womb
as a super villain
but his whole plan
is to like lowball them
and he's like
I need to find like
the worst possible people ever
and so he's like
he knows that Sherman
Helmsley's a piece of shit.
So he's like, oh, I'll just throw the money to him.
And this is what they explained in like the first scene in that, you know, abandoned
warehouse district that every movie climax is in, right next to the shark pit or whatever.
When he's like, I try, I'm sorry, I tried.
I didn't know he knew this giant Hulk of a man who will, like, protect these children
so you can find this microchip.
So it was like the producers or something, like they were trying to make it pretty much.
The worst bodyguard firm ever.
It's springtime for Hogan, yeah.
Why not hire an assassin to be the bodyguard, two birds, one stone.
You got it.
You're all done.
I think you're totally right.
I think it would work.
Yeah, yeah.
But he had removed, he had outsourced.
He had delegated.
See, he's a good leader.
He delegates to Frank, who deliberately sabotaged it.
So this isn't about getting the good.
So you're setting up a scenario where like this is the worst possible person for the job.
Oh, he also delegates parenthood onto Hulk Hogan as well.
Yes.
he doesn't even know he's doing that
he doesn't he doesn't realize he's a bad
dad
he never he never really
realizes it he's kind of like
I guess I should like at one point
have a scene where I say to my kids
good night or something but that's like
the most he realizes he sucks
I mean I think that there's a scene
missing where it's like ever since my wife
died I just I can't deal with the kid
because like you know he has seen it
fawning over this one who my
fan theory this woman faked her death
right. That was her way out of the situation.
Of course, with those two kids
and this fucking weird mad scientist
that you're married to, absolutely.
Oh my god, my wife died.
$100,000 was missing from my safe and then
that truck exploded. She's dead.
Like, she is in Mexico enjoying
herself. Yeah, she got a girl herself.
Yeah, exactly.
The bizarre thing about these kids is they still go to
public school.
That's kind of surprising. And also the weird
coincidence that it's the same
grade school that Hulk Hogan
went to himself? I think
they made it a public school so that it's like
oh private school there wouldn't be as
bullied or there would be some type of infrastructure
in place to prevent that public school
oh my god these kids, it's open season on these kids
can you believe it? I was rooting for the bullies
hardcore man those bullies kicking the shit out of this kid
oh yeah oh the bully that had that amazing
mesh shirt that was like a gray shirt
like he was ready to go clubbing in Ibitha like right
afterwards. Dude was the early 90s man
we fucking loved mesh shirts like it was a homemade mesh shirt though because it was like a t-shirt that was cut into mesh yeah if you really look at it it it's like a real like i saw that i saw that on tv but i want to be that but i can't afford it kind of a thing yeah there they're just like that cardboard mesh you get in like like a packed package right yes if it's not bubble wrap or anything else it's like that yeah so yeah hogan i mean yeah hogan takes shroom helmsley's uh advice and shows up to this facility he's
attacked we got our first action we first time we hear rough stuff rough stuff he's on a motorcycle
obviously i just want to go fishing we got to mention there's a dog being thrown into the ocean in
the background right yep yep this was great i totally forgot that this was this movie i had seen
this on the internet a hundred times i thought it was from thunder in paradise and then eric you
tweeted it or you texted me or all of us and i was like oh shit no and so i had passed
it at that point and I mean when you are
watching freight train
running cinema like Mr. Nanny
you do not rewind so I waited until the movie
was over and then I rewound it and then I showed Chelsea and we all had a big
laugh over it. All this bullshit about the
fucking ghost in three men and a baby
and I don't hear any talk about the dog
growing and fucking Mr.
Nanny like this is bullshit
that was garbage. This actually happened
this dog is dead. This dog is dead.
That's my question. Is this a
malicious? You can toss a dog
dog into the ocean for fun, like, have some fun sparky? Or is this, I am killing my dog?
Is that funny? That's what's fun to you? Yeah. Dog tossing? I think it's a real like,
and don't come back. Yeah. I mean, if it was it a burlap sack maybe, or maybe the dog was talking to
the feds possibly. I don't know. Oh, yeah. Well, it is Miami, dude, in the early 90s. Absolutely.
I mean, it doesn't look like a small dog either. It looks like a Labrador. And we're just picking it up and hucking it
into the fucking ocean. Again, I
say we should have our own Mythbusters type of
show because we should get two dogs
and start huck on them and see
if it lives
after a few, like,
we'll see how many hucks it takes.
I'm sure that nobody will have a
problem with that, Eric. Yeah. I want
a Room 237 style documentary
about all the theories
about the tossed dog.
Yeah. I really want to get to
the bottom of it, dude. I would
watch that new Rodney
Asher documentary as well. That's true.
For sure. You try to convince me
it has nothing to do with the moon.
You just go ahead and try to convince me.
It has nothing to do with the moon. There are clues
if you play Mr. Nanny backwards
and forwards at the same time.
You could start seeing some
little parallels there. That's a good point.
I kind of want to just blow up the picture.
Like who was this guy? Track him down.
You know what I mean? Get a face on that fucker.
Absolutely. I mean, 93.
he's certainly dead.
93 Miami, possibly Andrew Koonanen, unconfirmed.
But Chris, we know the dog is dead.
We saw it die on film.
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, they just, they cut right before the fucking gator came out.
American crime story, they cut that one seat out where he chucks a dog into the ocean.
Now, that implies they would ever cut a scene in that show.
and I don't buy that.
Good call.
Yeah, so Steve, you're right.
He takes the job.
He reports to Austin Pendleton's office building.
He has a run in with a security guard at the gate here.
And of course, you know, the solution here is not like, why don't you give him a call?
He's expecting me.
It's, I'm going to just start fighting this guy.
Yeah.
And could we point out the slogan for the company?
Did you guys catch this on the letterhead?
It's Mason Systems, where today is the tomorrow you dreamed of yesterday.
oh fuck that sucks
that's a long and winding road
to get to whatever that is that's like a bond movie parody
like on Saturday Night Live yeah
I mean you can't
you can't fit that at the end of a commercial
yeah I guess so
I just don't like the question is
what does this movie think it is because yeah
there's jokes like that and like the weird
there is a Bondi part of this right
obviously Thanatos reads like an awful
bond villain yeah but then we're also doing
Mr. Nanny and like you can't do both
kind of a thing. I think. This is the problem with any
Hulk Hogan movie, you know, where we're
doing like the kid thing is
all you want this guy to do is kick ass because he's a fucking
wrestler and that's what you're there for. But like in this movie
he's got to play up all the kid stuff but they
understand that there are people tuning in for the wrestling
part of it. So like it just never works out
tonally. It just is stupid the whole time. But
that's the audience for wrestling.
That's who's going to see this fucking movie,
a 40-year-old man, hopefully.
I mean, listen, if you like it, it's fine.
But, I mean, it's,
I feel like this is made for kids,
so it was an easy transition
trying to do wrestlers
to children's films because
that's who knows who these fucking people are.
Yeah, for sure. I remember
very clearly seeing this movie,
dragging my father to see this movie
at the age of 10 years old.
I bet he wanted to throw you in the fucking river
again. That's the thing here is
we were watching the movie. We were the only people in the theater
of course. Check out. Yeah. And like
this, it was really a turning point for me. So like 30 minutes in,
I just look over to my dad. And there's just like
nothing. Like he's just clearly
escaped to somewhere else. God knows
what if you had any drinks or, you know, drugs beforehand to do it.
But he was just gone. He wasn't paying attention to whatever was going on. I was like,
oh so you don't have to pay attention to movies I guess
was this the movie that woke you up
to like maybe movies are bad sometimes
I was like wait if my dad doesn't
like it maybe I don't like it oh no
this is weird
I wish I could remember
what of those was
was for me I remember it from my younger
sister it was the ring
two with Naomi Watts
we saw some shit
but my dad would never I don't think anyone
anyone my family would allow us to go see a wrestling
motion picture like absolutely not
You can rent it.
I remember renting this
Urban Commando and No Holds Barred for sure.
Mine might have been Chairman of the Board.
Oh, yeah.
Chairman of the Board, yeah.
Great way.
Still haven't seen that.
Mine was gun fishing, for sure.
That I'm positive.
Oh, you know what?
Mine actually might have been gone fishing to come to think of it.
Because I think there are things about Chairman of the Board that I like,
but Gone Fishing is truly terrible.
That's like episode seven of We Hate Movement.
that was the early days
fresh from
from box office mojo
here opening
weekend for Mr. Nanny
almost 1.9 million
final
gross just under
4.4 million
so some of that was you and your dad
yeah that was like 15 bucks of
my dad solely my dad's money
did that be tenants gross
unfortunately maybe
I feel like tenant would have benefited from a Hulk Hogan presence
Or there was, if I remember correctly there was that Tom Cruise commercial for Mr. Nanny
which was we're going back to the movies
We're going to see Mr. Nanny
This is what cinema is all about, badacious
Woo, we're risking life and death to go see the Nanny
We're going back to the movies, Mr. Nanny.
Hey, speaking of the nanny, though, dude, another credit from the actress who plays the little daughter in this movie.
She was the youngest child on the television program, The Nanny.
Wow, all right.
Yeah, she's been working.
She was also Anthony Edwards' daughter on ER, which I'm slowly going through.
She comes in occasionally.
You go in right through that episode by episode, Steve?
Yeah, but it's taken us three years because we stopped for months and it's totally fine.
It's a really relaxing
kind of. Yep. Yep.
And be sure.
My math teacher's dad was in ER.
Wow. Oh, shit. Is he okay now?
Yes.
It's been a long road.
Getting from here.
No, he was like the detective or whatever.
There was like some old guy detective.
Like Mike Genovese who's like played a lot of like, you know,
gangsters and stuff.
But he apparently had like a regular role on it.
And I remember like my little tiny high.
school in Bushnell, Illinois
like downstate. Like that was
a red letter day when he came
to visit. Oh.
Yeah. Hey, it's the detective from
ER. What? What?
That's not
NASCAR.
Hey, tell us what Julianne
the market leases like in real life. Come on.
Tell us.
Come on.
So, yeah,
so like the Hogan,
you know, he
he dispatches these security
guards and like
the guy who's in on is like
well I'll fire him don't worry about it
like Oz the penalties no that's exactly what I
need is a hulking brute around
my children
no sense of self-control
who hasn't had a good meal in six months
that's what I want yeah what I need is a walking
lawsuit who just broke like all the
security guards that I employs next
getting in here
the fact that he is able to assault
all those men and then just
it's fine like you'd think even
they could press charges but I guess the company
swipes it under the rug.
Yeah, I think Austin Pendleton just had them
murdered and then there's new security guards
that came in. Other great detail
is when Hulk Hogan's pretending to know what
computers are. Oh my God, I love it.
Dude, what is this?
I know what you're talking about, the line where he's like,
oh yeah, I know that it's the blah, blah, blah,
and he just goes with a bunch of, like,
tech talk. It sounds like he's reading it from a manual.
Yeah.
And no, it's a like,
Hulk, we're going to do it.
I'm just, we're going to put the earpiece and just
just say exactly what you hear.
year.
We're syllable by syllable.
And it'll be hilarious if someone that looks like you knew anything.
So just say it'll be funny.
Oh,
Microchip is actually a silicon based blah, blah, blah, blah.
And he goes on and on.
And I was like, wow.
Oh, fuck.
Okay.
Oh, the earpiece is fritzed.
Okay.
We're going to spray paint it on the floor.
And you're just going to read it, okay?
Just like kind of look down.
When I step on your foot, you say the line about the computer.
Silicon based
Come on
Dude that scene
It must have been like working with David Fincher man
There was 35 fucking takes of that
A microchip is a
Cilicone
We take it again
You can't say Cilicone
It's silicon
No I believe it's silly cones
I thought this movie was supposed to be a silly cone
Can I just go back to saying
I like the nacho cheese kind
Killer line by the way
Killer line
So we are sort of introduced, yeah, with this computer line to like what the McGuffin of this whole movie is.
Austin Pendleton's company is developing some sort of microchip that will go in the, a peacekeeper guidance system that is able to like shoot missiles out of the sky, which is an interesting thing for this movie because like it was 1993.
We weren't like really dealing with like hot button missile things in that way though, like intercontinental missile blasts.
You got to be ready, though, Andrew.
The kids were really worried about, like, Bosnia.
We were.
Yeah, we were.
Well, and it's, we, we see it sort of personified in this, like, goofy model that looks like a Buck Rogers rocket.
Yes.
This is a great moment.
Yeah, yeah.
And he, like, takes it.
And they do the classic thing of, like, oh, we're just going to continue with the tour.
And the person they're talking to just stays there for an entire as a minute.
And that whole thing, that lingering in that room is just, I guess it's probably a minute, but it feels like 10 that he's just not going on the tour with them. He's just playing in the room.
And again, like, I guess it's supposed to show, because he's two, the two character traits he has theoretically character traits. One that he's clumsy. And two, I guess he's a big kid at heart. I mean, like, you, you shouldn't play space. There's like a non-zero amount of Williams.
Abka and Cobra Kai with this guy.
And a big enormous dumbass, like just lumbering around and like, yes, he's strong.
But like, I got to tell you, I, it always shocks me seeing him in this at this time because I'm like, this was masculinity.
This was man.
And just looking at this haircut and I just can't piece it together.
It's amazing that they let him walk around like this, really.
like you know what it's stunning what for the long the long skullet
the long skull I think he's making it his own dude I think he's rocking it
I think he's looking good I clearly did still he's still rocking it
to this day like Hulk Hogan I think is he must hold a Guinness
record for like the human being who has had a full on fucking skullet
the longest yeah I feel like he just wanted to be a Ferengi
who had the end of they always had those like weird things on the back of their head like
that connected their ears, which
that was always weird. But yeah, no, it's one of those,
it's that ultimate testament to like what happens when a man
goes bald but refuses to admit it.
So he's like, what hair I've got,
I'm growing out. I don't care how long
it gets. That just means
I'm less bald. A dignified
Patrick Stewart would look fine.
I don't think I want to see him fully bald
because then it's like, dude, that's the world's biggest
Nazi. And I'm really afraid of it.
But Patrick Stewart with a Hulk Hogan cut
with a skullet, Captain Picard's
skullet, you'd watch that.
Oh, sure.
Sure. But yeah, you're totally right, though, Steve. I see that walking around. I'm like, oh, that guy definitely uses the N-word. There's no doubt about it. I mean, in sex tapes and out.
Him with this haircut, it just, he looks like an extra from like a Shira cartoon. And I'm like, like, at this point, that's not acceptable. But at the time, it was. Yeah. Right. It's like he-man on leukemia treatments or something.
It's a bad looking. It's a bad looking thing.
The handlebar mustache is good though
It offers symmetry
symmetry for the skullet
Because they both have similar shapes
It's true
It's nice like clean lines
You know
I never notice how fully balanced he is
Yeah I'm a big fan of the horseshoe shape
Brother anywhere I can get it
Put it on my body
My horseshoe pubes
The fat hair is
Oh no
You can horseshoe some pubs for sure
You definitely could dude
And then if you're smart about it
You let the bottom part just grow out. You know what I mean? So it's like you've got some real cool looking pubs.
I also like my Johnson out, brother. So now it looks like a horseshoe.
If you grow them out long enough, you don't need pants anymore.
Yeah, I really love cousin it from the Adams family. I'm taking a note from that guy.
If cousin it was a skirt with the horseshoes like, you know, when he inevitably fails to make a woman orgasm, he's like, huh, well, they say close on the cats and horseshoes and hand to grenades, I'm going to sleep.
sleep.
Thanks for not coming.
Oh, you're complaining, huh? Okay. Well, I guess that makes me the horseshoe and you
the crab. Oh, man. Mr. Nanny. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, Austin Pendleton's like,
all right, well, let's go like meet my fucking rotten devil children. We go to this, you know,
the house here. We learn.
it's like the Beverly Hillbillies
house. It does look like
the Beverly Hillbilley's house from the movie
specifically. I wonder if it was the same
house maybe. That's probably a stay tuned
gentlemen. I have to put that out there.
Speaking of which RIP
Chloris Leachman. Oh, right.
Yeah, she was grainy in the movie.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure.
Take it easy wherever you are.
And RIP, Jim Barney. I mean,
RIP, maybe that whole cast. I don't know.
No, Diedrich Bader's still around.
At the time of this recording.
Eric Eleniac.
Yeah, Erica Laniac, yeah.
Yeah, so he gets there and there's a nanny.
And I mean, like, it's one thing if they're like
pranks or whatever is to their nannies.
They're trying to kill people.
This is attempted murder.
Yeah, every time.
Because she comes out, her hair is literally on fire.
She jumps into an enormous fountain they have in their driveway.
And she quits.
And it's like, oh, no.
Now the agency won't send us anybody else.
like, yeah, because your kids should be in jail.
Also, does she say that she
quits, or do we just assume that she quits?
What if she's, like, really resilient?
And she's like, she was expecting to come back the next day.
And they were like, you're good.
Sorry, I ran out yesterday.
I was on fire.
Please, I really need this job.
My children are starving.
Hey, Hulk Hogan's character would be totally for that, though,
because he specifically says to Austin Pendleton,
when Pendleton reveals the news like,
oh, you're not my bodyguard, like, you're protecting my kids.
And he's like, hey, brother.
I fucking hate kids, man.
I love pork and I fucking hate kids.
I kill kids for many years for money.
The kids are white, right?
You got white kids, right?
You know this guy smells like rotten fish
because he sleeps in an abandoned shack off the wharf.
That's all he does.
Just reeks of denim and patchouly.
You want this guy anywhere near your children?
I don't.
that's what you call a fucking rassler retirement plan dude living in a shack fishing off a pier
eating food out of a can much like the ugly uh tramp from uh dick tracy he's taking kids into
his uh employ oh yes of course who plays that character cabin oh god it's somebody big i just
rewatched it and by the way totally mind-blowing movie incredible um i don't remember um but yes
but hogan's whole stipulation is like all right i'll be their bodyguard
long as they have a nanny and you better not be trying to get a movie story out of this brother
so they better not warm my heart so this lady comes out running out and like i start understanding
i don't even think that austin pendleton's making that much money the reason this house is this big is
because he has to have half of it be a legal department yeah because he's got it it turns out that
the kid the the nanny before this had her legs broken both of them uh kapolski somebody else got
like run over or something this sounds like a good childhood this is all the type of shit i wanted
to do as a kid that i was never allowed to you know no eric you can't murder the nanny
well let me at least break some legs see see but now they don't have a nanny but they do
have a mammy in the form of like mother love who's trying her best to like inject some life into
these scenes mother love is a highlight of this movie man she's
great in it. It's too bad she has to play
the maid. I love that
introduction of like Hulk Hogan
is like fingering this pie
she made. Oh my God. Is it a pork pie? Is it
or is he to go for the American pie?
Is he going to start fucking right there? Because he's
like getting right in the center of seeing how nice
and warm it is. And then
the hatchet comes down hatchet. I mean, Cleaver
but. Well Hulk, I mean, Hulk clearly
walked so Jim from American Pie could run.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. He's a minute from
fisting this pie.
before she almost kills him for trying to eat it.
That would have been awesome, dude,
if she just fucking accidentally cut his hand off.
And if there'd been a sex tape of Hulk Hogan with the pie,
Gawker would have died in the crib.
Hey, brother, me fucking bake goods is nobody's business but mine in the pies.
It would be cool if his hand was cut off.
And then throughout all these misadventures with the children.
He like starts becoming like half metal or something,
becomes part of the rocket experiment.
Just Tetsuo the Iron Man, but Hulk Hogan.
Oh, brother, I fucked pies and I got caught by my dad, but I'll tell you one thing.
I wish my dad was Eugene Levy, that Eugene Levy would listen to you.
My dad did, my dad did not.
Wait a minute.
Eugene Levy, you're telling me he's a what?
Oh, never mind.
Canadian?
Yeah, Canadian.
It is. Your point, Clint, is well made only in, mostly in the scene when she's dressed like a maid in one, like, in one scene, in the dinner scene, I'm like, who are you putting on airs for? It's fucking Hulk Hogan.
It's so stupid. She's dressed in like civilian wear the entire movie, but then like in this one scene, she's like serving them dinner.
She's dressed like she's gone with the wind. She is, and it's uncomfortable.
And that scene also, I'm going to bring this up again, because like the chili, we weren't, it looks. It looks.
looks more like red beans and red sauce
than actual chili.
And whatever she is ladling
into his bowl or he's ladling
into the bowl. That's not mashed potatoes.
Yeah.
That's way too wet to be mashed potatoes.
I think that might be the cheap like boxed kind.
You just add water.
Like flakes.
In Austin Pendleton's
hungry jack flakes, that should be against the law.
In Austin Pendleton's Super Mansion,
no, no, no, no. That looked like
a big bowl of like risotto or something
that Hulk was going to shove it is
going. In the movie, it's a
mansion. The reality, it's a shitty house
in Florida, and they're just making a shitty
cheap movie. Gotcha.
With a full-ass gym
like for a dozen people.
The gym is really bizarre
because you have two children who
cannot lift weights and should not lift weights.
And Austin Pendleton, who's never
lifted a weight in his life.
And this enormous, we should say
obviously the kids are awful. The first
they keep tripping him is the idea
that's that's in the first day.
He gets a bowling ball to the face.
Yes. He fucking falls down the stairs
in what would definitely be a neck
breaking incident. He would be dead by now.
The bowling ball, like Clint mentioned, alone.
Yeah. The,
and then that's the most homaloney bit
is the bowling ball for sure. That's like Daniel
Stern level shit. Hey, brother, are we
going to get sued over this gag or what?
I love watching
because I mean, like Hulk Hogan, you know, obviously
as a guy that knows how to take a fall, that's literally
the one thing he knows how to do, is him falling down these steps made me cackle.
Like, it's a real, like, it's just, like, kind of the joy of watching someone fall down
the stairs by accident. It was convincing. I enjoyed it.
He is his generation's Charlie Chaplin. I agree with you.
He just fall through the stairs. Like, the stairs can't withstand 300 pounds coming at,
like the velocity that he's at. He would go through them.
There's also a lot of good Foley work because he falls down the stairs multiple times in this movie.
And one of the times is, like, you don't even see it.
The family's just having dinner.
And they're like, oh, you know, where's Hulk Hogan?
And it's like, and he falls down the stairs.
And the little fucking shitty girl is just like, oh, I think maybe he's running late or something like that.
When after the bowling ball, he gets hit by water.
And before he goes down for dinner, I really have to point this out.
The shit boy.
The shit boy says,
come on down
Suey
Soie!
Now that means
that means
that this kid
has seen deliverance
Yep
And that means
that this kid needs
to be put away
Well here's the thing
They keep setting all these traps
For Hulk Hogan
And the various nannies
Were they never worried
That their own father
Would succumb to these
And he's made of paper mache
He will collapse
He would go right up
I think that he knows
Like where the traps
Always are
And he's like
you kids again with your little jokes
you're dinner again aren't you
I mean he's like dried leaves though
if you fucking get him near a flame
and he's going right up yeah yeah
he's going up he's like Tinder like human Tinder
not to be confused
with the application that I
which is also know anything about
but no one of the things about
the like these kids doing these
crazy borderline murderous
stunts is how blatant
it like you it becomes
comes clear halfway through the movie that these are all murderous attempts at their father's
attention they are so desperate to get him even just mad at them and he's like no it's fine i'm a
90s yuppie parent everything's great participation trophies and so this is a really like reactionary
kind of movie right because like the whole thing that turns them around is holkoogne being like
we're going to instill some authority in you kids it's the kindergarten cop thing where it's like kids
crave discipline you lack discipline and they love them for it yeah they want dream dads come on
Or dream dads.
Yeah, it is weird, like, the underlying message.
Because, yeah, at one point, they're like, are you going to get mad at us, dad?
And he's like, well, no, nothing's really.
Oh, it's when it's the gym, which is coming up next anyway.
It's Hulk Hogan goes to use their gym.
And they're like, little kids are a shitty little inventor, I guess.
Like, not only is a prankster.
He's like a little inventor.
He's inventing like toilet cams or something, right?
Yes, absolutely.
I think you're totally right.
This guy, like, if this guy.
character lived into the modern time. He's going down for something, dude. And I think
toilet cams is right on. I mean, I think you would have to get the time cops involved because
whatever this guy's got coming up in his, in 20s and 30s is bad news. Do you see the book
he's reading at that one point? Oh, like unpopular weapons from insurrections or something like
there? From the Inquisition. That's what it is. Yeah. Studying the weaponry of the
Inquisition. Get him away. Is that so bad?
and now when is the appropriate age to watch
deliverance as well? Because I think I saw
it about this kid's age.
Oh yeah. And that explains everything.
Yeah. And how many watch lists are you
on now? I remember. I don't think
I saw that like college deliverance.
Oh, I definitely saw it maybe
middle school. Yeah, man.
You if I figured stuff out.
That was eye opening for you.
Yeah. Oh, my.
So yeah, he's going to work out. The kid in
some sort of a magnety thing
that's going to make the weights
go the way he wants them to
go and the girl I just
I don't like the girl is like
it's like Leopold and Loeb the two of them it's very
creepy because she's like very like
she's just like he's got a bad
idea and then she makes it worse
and it's like it creeps me out so much I don't know
it bothers me to watch these two
it's disgusting and yeah so they like make his
like he's doing the first they're like
oh get on this elliptical
machine yeah and do a little of that
He gets, like, locked into it and they make it, like, go really fast and it explodes.
Well, the elliptical machine, I must point out, has, like, specific settings for how intense the workout is.
Because as it goes faster, goes from, like, hard to very hard or something.
And then the final one is coronary.
Old brother had a heart attack.
That's it.
That's it.
There's my lip ventricle exploding, brother.
Worked off too much pork.
here comes the Reaper off the top rope for old Hogan
my favorite thing about this is
so the shit boy is explaining the bike
to Hulk Hogan and like just like
Hulk Hogan's like what is this piece of shit
and like the kid is just like it's the 90s
and that's the explanation
by the way his his thing was what is this
crud and I just liked the expression
What is this crud?
By the way, he also says in response to seeing the exercise machine.
Yeah, he says, what is this crud?
And then he says it's the 90s.
By the way, he also, he goes to school with them in a brief scene, which is great
because he's kind of like Billy Madison in this because he's sitting in the classroom.
Like, why are you even doing this?
That's a great question.
Dude, I have the same note.
I was like, why does he have to sit at a desk?
And whose desk did he take?
And he does it for one afternoon and never does it again.
I think he just got lost.
I don't think he knows what to do.
I don't think Austin Pendleton really gave him any directions other than be around them, please.
Well, that's true.
I mean, because he's a wrestler.
As he says, he's a wrestler.
He is not a bodyguard.
I will say that at least Austin Pendleton was like, look, if you got to save one of them, save the girl.
When you go to school, go to her class, leave.
You know what?
The kid's too far gone.
I think the girl could be saved, honestly.
I think, yeah, he is fully accepted that his son.
son is going to grow up to cut dude's heads off, drill holes in them, and fuck those drilled
holes.
He knows he's going to need to use his space laser on his own son when he grows up.
Better not be a Jewish space laser, brother.
But the extent to like which the daughter is complicit in all this is always very
confusing to me because at times she seems like the innocent one, but also she takes just as
much glee in his pain.
But she never comes up with any of the plans.
She just goes along with it.
Because she's the shitster, which makes her almost worse.
The son is totally fucked up.
But she is the shitster that totally, you know,
pushes him further and further and further.
And she aims him like a weapon.
Yeah.
Yeah, but shit boy eventually is going to turn into jigsaw.
Like, down the road, all this, the weaponry stop.
You were a wrestler once.
And then you didn't wrestle well.
And then you abandoned your good friend.
So now you're going to get on this exercise bike and go really fast.
Where your legs explode?
We'll see.
you've been working on the jigsaw voice
Chris, that's good.
Oh, wow, dude.
Way to go singing the theme from Saw.
I got them all.
I'll take requests.
I love that the principal,
because the little girl gets sent to the principal with Hulk Hogan,
and then the principal comes out,
and Hulk Hogan has let her know,
like he has gone to this school,
and the principal comes out and somehow recognizes him.
Like, his reputation is so fucking badass.
he's like, whoa, is this Sean King of Detention, Armstrong?
And he graduated in 1964, yes.
After seven years.
That any, he's a doctor now.
Yeah.
But anyone would know.
Dr. Hogan, yeah.
How many detentions you had or whatever.
Like, they don't keep those records after 1968.
Absolutely not.
I mean, and they are just.
This movie takes place in the universe where this is going on your permanent record actually
happens.
That's true. It's the same universe in where professional wrestling is real, which we'll talk about at the end of the movie.
And all, of course, all educators here are like total, like, the teacher is like, oh my God, get out of the class. You're disrupting class.
And then Gilbert Godfrey. Yeah, essentially. And then like fat, and then the fat hamster principle is like telling him that like, like, they just like belittle every educational person. I'm sorry, it just bucks me.
I love, so you think that there was, like, in the, in the sides that the actors got me,
want a fat hamster principle.
In brackets, fat hamster type.
It was the same note that the, that Joe Dante gave to the casting department for Gremlins too,
man, when he cast those twin scientists, he's like, I need twins that also look like fat gerbils.
And those guys got cast in that movie.
And then they got cast in Terminator, too.
Yes, totally.
Yeah, it's much kinder than a Louis Anderson type.
yeah that's true not to be an asshole but if i got a hamsel look like louis and i'd throw it in
the garbage it's real that rich kid from peewe's big adventure energy i would list it on ebay steve
yes and i'm put in a fucking box and just let's hope it survives well priority usps
during these entire during all of these scenes Hulk Hogan has like millions of gigajoules
of electricity coursing through his veins because like one of the last
things they do in the gym thing is he decides to take
a shower with the world's
tiniest towel. The towels
really look a lot. It's kind of
hot. It's hanging on by a thread.
It is, but it's a kid's
movie. I guess it's a little something for the mom.
Possibly. Why not?
Show us a little Hogan
thigh. You know, I didn't look
at my dad at that moment, but he might
have liked that.
It's something.
I'll give this movie that. It's something.
Yeah. I mean,
we've been having
a lot of fun with Hulk Hogan
and Scullet aside
he's in great shape in this movie
still it's 1993
I think he was
he must have been out of WWF by this point
Steve right was he in WCW
I don't remember it may have been the
this is pre NWO
yes oh definitely pre
NWO but maybe like the waning days
of him being in the WWF or something
but he's still in great shape in this movie
not that he gets to show it off that much so I guess
in this shower scene. I was like
well at least you get to see some rassler bod
because even when he's wrestling
in that flashback it's just wearing the
fishing outfit. In 93
he went to WCW so there you go.
Oh okay. So yeah when they're making
this movie he's probably still in WWF.
I still think he is in
the top three wrestling actors
though. I think it goes
but Tista the Rock Colgan.
Well, Sina too. Like he's the most
commanding about quality of
actors right? Not like prolific.
career because that's Dwayne Johnson
hands down. I'm talking about quality. Yeah, that's
true. I mean, like, he's a better,
he's a better actor than Stone Cold Steve Austin, for
sure. Is Hulk Hogan? Okay, here's
one, because he's been, he was in some stellar
movies, man. Was he, uh,
is Hulk Hogan a better actor than
was Routy, Roddy Piper?
No, I guess that's a good question.
He beats him. Yeah. So yeah,
I guess that knocks him out of the third. So yeah,
Hogan's four. They live alone, I think,
kicks, uh,
I think, yeah, totally.
But yeah, they do try to give him the chair in the shower scene because he's fucking electrocuted.
And like, it is a crazy thing where the kid says something, like the sun is like, oh, well, it's not that bad.
It's just going to stun him or something.
And then the little shister girl is like, why don't you turn it up?
Exactly.
It's like it won't kill.
Then crank it up.
I want to see him die.
I need to lock eyes with him as the light goes out of his eyes.
Well, you know, they probably have.
have completely murdered
people and this father's just like
okay we'll just say it was a rocket
accident and burns them up
right I mean
they all signed an NDA
I mean best case scenario is this kid
is turning into the toy maker from Munich
that's like
upon the positive side of
where this is going
I do yeah because the main
mother love has a list and he's like
oh that's not so many people on that
their list their brother and then she like
unfurals it and it's like hundreds of people
at least 10 of them are dead or
died of their injuries at the hospital
kind of a day. You're totally right. I mean, you got to
play the numbers in this situation. Like, they have
killed nannies.
Yeah. I think it's a real
Batman situation where it's like, technically
they didn't kill him. Yes.
They basically died. Yeah, we never see the
backyard where Austin Pendleton has the mass
grave where all the nannies have been buried.
Put her in the hole. Put another one in the hole.
Well, that's a guy. Okay, 293.
slash here okay right right and there's also like you know after after one of those latest exploits
i think in the gym that's when austin pendleton is like oh no i'm not going to punish them and they're
very upset yeah yes and and hulk ogan like says well if you don't care about your fucking kids get
rid of them dude this is it's the absolute best line in the movie i wrote the whole thing down
he goes i feel sorry you lost your wife man but if you can't give these kids what they need
get rid of them yeah i got a fucking
I got a pillowcase here, brother.
We'll go down to the river.
Oh, look, are you looking for an assassin?
Because I could get you in touch with an assassin,
and he could take care of these kids real quick.
But even better than that monologue is, like,
what happens right after?
Because then, I think the girl says dejectedly,
I guess he doesn't really care about us.
You've done legally actionable things to murder him.
And you were upset that you haven't earned his love.
That's true.
That's right.
Around here is we cut back to David Johans.
as Thanos here and this this motherfucker's got a lot going on he's got a big stupid metal plate over the entire top of his head
which also then creates like an artificial skullet so we got two skullets in this movie we're not so different you and I
I was I say quick question do you think the Avengers that those two beautiful movies would make less billions of dollars if
David Johansson did the voice in mocap for Thanos or more billion more
more millions
more of all of the millions
I think would be a better movie
because David Johansson
would recognize that it's a cartoon
Yeah
Listen I got to record it in the galaxy
Oh man
But also
But here's the thing
Like they're not done with Hulk Hogan yet though
Because they still have yet to pull out their final trick
The Pit of Blood
Oh boy
Oh man
Which is so beyond the pale that even the daughter's like
I don't know
Like even though it's like probably
on the scale of murderiness
of all those things, it's relatively
innocuous. And they say it's blood. I mean,
they say it's red dye, right?
But I think it's nanny blood. I think this is
long. It's definitely nanny. There's
there's visceral that he climbs through
when he falls in. Yeah, what's the shit?
You're totally right, Eric. They're draining these
women.
Don't know, you got to hang her
upside down. She's not going to drink.
Get the neck drains faster than the legs.
Come on.
Get a bucket.
it's disgusting and I hate that they have
like a team of seasoned grifters
they've got like the nicknames for all of these things
and they're like the two kids they decide like
all right we're gonna stop fucking with Hulk Hogan
but first the pit of blood
and then the girl's like oh the pit of blood
like they're talking about how they're gonna like
you know like slang that someone would use
when they're gonna run a grift on somebody
you tried to crush him
like a day ago like to death
yeah like this is nothing but now they're gonna play the hits you know they've done the pit of blood
before to much acclaim so because she's like if uh if the pit of blood doesn't work we're
gonna do the turkey drop on him see if that can stake you know the tennessee 10 step yeah
is it hot sauce what is it like it's just red dye and some seaweed right red red dye yeah
red dye that's oh painful as hell but i think it's for their pool cleaner yes because
the girls like we're we're falling in love with him we can't do it if he survives the pit of blood
then we'll let him we'll let him live kind of a thing it's just this we'll call a truce i think he says
it's actually ghoulish and then like of course that's hulk's last straw even after i think it's the
little girl who says all nannies are bad which i was like oh man anab uh and so that's that's when
he's like finally i've had it up with you kids with you fucking kids i'm gonna teach you some manners
and luckily he doesn't beat them but he just scares the you know living daylights out of him
Him screaming at these kids is the best part.
He's screaming.
Screaming at these kids. It's amazing.
This is after, I don't want to lose it, though.
Great prop department movie here, a moment here, rather.
Right before he falls in the pool, he's in the kitchen making like this hilarious Garfield sandwich.
Oh, my God, this sandwich.
I just love that his time off is spent making gigantic sandwiches.
Dude, cartoon sandwiches.
It's amazing.
Mother love.
gives him the shit again right here for like making the kitchen a mess and then I think the thing that
they call him to the pool for is they're like oh my god I'm drowning it's crazy she hits him in the
head with a frying pan and I oh yeah like maybe this is where these kids are getting getting it from
a little bit there is a great bit of like kind of prop comedy here with mother love doing this because
she gets a a frying pan off the rack and she turns and looks at Hulk Hogan and then she looks back
at the pan and she's like, nope, and puts it back and gets a bigger one?
That is, that is good.
So, you know, Hogan right here is like, going to give these kids a little bit of an
attitude adjustment, brother, you know, and he makes them just like sit in the dark.
Another thing that, like, if you asked a serial killer, you know, in their formative years,
what was something that happened to you that really turned you to what you are?
It's like, well, the babysitter at one point made me sit in the dark for six hours.
Yeah.
that would do it.
That's the closest way you can get in touch with the devil.
You know,
you've got to sit still for like six hours in the darkness
and then you start hearing those voice so I'm told.
We have anything that accelerates your sociopathy.
Yeah.
Yeah, I would think so.
And I mean, so we keep on cutting back to Theranos, right?
And he is like fishing in milk and like rubbing his metal head
against like electrical things to relieve the pressure.
I didn't get this whole thing.
sexual I think
it's a fetish object it's also
it gives him super strength kind of
like he can use the chrome dome
as a weapon yeah it's very
and yet it's right next to his brain
him like scratching the
the the plate is very
Texas chainsaw masker too right yeah absolutely
dude it's Bill Mosley's fucking
scratching it with the hot
chainsaw masker references
maybe that was one for the adults
the adult wrestling fans that also
definitely were the horror hounds loving
TCM 2 at the time. TCM and deliverance. Two kids classics.
Absolutely. I do love, so he decides
like Hulk Hogan is like talking in the little girl at one point. This is
a ridiculous scene. But
the girl's talking. Dream Dad. Which begins, she's, I'm in
my bed about to sleep as we watch her being in bed and about
to sleep. Well, you know, the audiences for movies like
this, Clint, you need to get it as on the nose as possible.
I think. David Johansen
wasn't exactly Leonard Cohen.
These are pretty simple lyrics
as they go. Similar sounding
voices, very different lyrics.
Yeah.
Yeah. So she's like, oh, I'm having
trouble sleeping. You know,
I haven't
oh, he goes, well,
just do what you did last night. And she's like,
well, I didn't sleep then either. And he's like, well, this
sounds like a problem. And
you know, he starts talking to her. And she's like, yeah,
you know, I haven't really slept well since my mom died
And he goes, and, you know, my mom died and went to heaven.
He goes, I lost my dad when I was a kid, but I don't think he went to heaven.
What?
You can't do that.
Yes.
Yes, you can.
Yeah, after what he did to those girls, I don't think St. Peter's going to let him through.
I'll leave it at that, though.
Oh, okay.
I've heard of, you know, I've worked with a lot of wrestlers, and I know a lot about meth.
And if you're staying up, you can't go to sleep.
That sounds like a real problem.
we're going to leave in dream dad
these are called downer sweetheart
let me just cut it into force
because these are this is a Hogan downer
that would put you down for life
you're about what 70 pounds
all right let me get you down to an eighth of this
yeah you're probably eighth of a horse
right this year pills for horses
elephants and professional wrestlers only
this is what my mother used to do I'm going to put
a little bit of Jack Daniels on my finger here
and I'm just going to rub it around your gums.
I, but again, Austin Pendleton, like, you know, doesn't catch him, but he sees him in there.
And he's like, oh, you're helping your sleep.
I would be like, hey, Hogan, just a quick, you know, you can bodyguard her from right out here, dude.
This is like, especially when it's bedtime, you can do all the bodyguarding you need at this doorstep.
That's where the bodyguarding ends.
Well, isn't there a moment when he has to, like, kiss the bunny?
And there's a, he talks about it later with Austin Pendleton.
And there is a moment when, like, Austin Pendleton thinks that Hulk Hogan kissed his daughter.
Yes.
Wait, you kissed what?
Oh, the bunny.
God, sure.
The bunny.
He calls up.
I need the largest SWAT team you have.
No, that's too big.
You know, I changed my mind.
Get the assassins.
They got a new one.
They got a new target.
So Austin Pendleton's got like some business trip.
He's got to go on.
And Limo comes to pick him up and he's with his crooked.
assistant that he doesn't know is crooked.
And then driving the limo is Wolfgang, who is working with David
Johansson. Awesome bit of comedy. I will say with a capital A
awesome. Really? The is the
card gag. I think it's all sold by Austin Pendleton
because the assistant has been subsequently, you don't have to
talk about it. He got hurt by David Johanson. He's got punched in the face
by his big hulking dude so that he can't talk anymore. His jaws wired
shut and he keeps giving cards
for everything the guy's going to say
and Pendleton sells it I will say
I like that bit I like the bit and like the gurgling
that he tries to do like through the braces and stuff
no that like that's a solid gag
there's a joke he's like oh you thought of everything
it's a solid gag
we're talking with diamonds and not even diamonds
and shit like less shit and shit I guess
yeah yeah the only big laugh
I got was from
the flashback when we see Johansen
and the Phil Specterwig
that was my big one
that got me a big one
first you defy me then you mock my hair
I think when Sherman Helmsley is telling the kid all
like you could get brass knuckles
a little blackjack one smack of this
his brains are all over the place
and then how about some mace in the face
or the lead pipe
and I thought that was the best scene of the movie
dude actually yeah Sherman Helmsley pulling
the pipe out of his pants
is kind of great like the Joker in 1989
yeah oh right
that's totally the move.
But often he gets kidnapped essentially
because he gets kidnapped
and it's like oh well
you know
he's saying to the guy like
you know you can't be working for this guy because once
he's through with you you know he's just going to throw you
away and this fucking limo driver pulls
in a downright
injection seat joke in this movie
and it's kind of great this was a legitimate
laugh because it is clearly a fucking
dummy shooting out of
this thing and falling into the street
I'm not sure. Yeah, he gets kidnapped.
I'm not even sure if that was a full dummy. That's a sack of flour.
Yeah, yeah. Well, one thing we have wallpapered over is, is the fact that Thanatos knows Hulk Hogan and Sherman Helmsley.
Like, this is, so this isn't, like, unrelated anymore either. Like, this is suddenly an old grudge.
Well, yeah, it's, it happens right here. He's a sporting promoter turned evil genius that steals microchips?
Yes. This happens right where we are now, because while,
Austin Pendleton is away
you know he says to Hulk Hogan
like look there's so you know crazy
threats going on you better beef up security
while I'm gone on this business trip so
the beefed up security is Sherman Helmsley
coming to help out and they tell
the story because Helmsley has said earlier in the
film the way that he sort of coaxes
Hulk Hogan to take the job is like hey man
remember that time I saved your life
and it turns out that fucking
Sherman Hemsley took a bullet for
Hulk Hogan and you get this flashback
scene where yes in this world professional
wrestling is real. Hulk Hogan
won some match and they're like splitting
the winnings and everything.
And yeah, just Sanatos runs in
and he's like, I thought I told you to throw this
match.
Well, yeah, he looks like Phil Spector.
Rest and piss, that guy.
Rest and piss. I do love,
I was curious, but this is weird of the line. They're like,
oh, yeah, actually. We,
he tried to have a fix a less
than a prestigious
sporting event and then
they're like Super Bowl and they keep guessing.
Nope, nope. And I'm wondering if this is like, did Vince McMahon say you can't say
WrestleMania? Is that what? Like, is that where we're going? Like, I bet. Or actually,
I don't remember the year for this, Steve. Is this, is this some sly reference to the
Montreal screw job? Oh, God. Why year did that happen? I'm vaguely aware of what that is.
That was when Vince McMahon fucked over Brett the hitman heart. Yes. And like the script was
supposed to go one way in
Brett Hart's favor.
And then from my understanding
and weed clouded memory
of wrestling history, they
changed it and didn't tell Brett Hart
and he fucking lost whatever it was.
And it has gone down as
the Montreal screw job.
I could look that up. Yeah, I don't remember the year
of it. But so yeah, it's this whole thing about it.
Johansson wanted them to throw the fight.
1997, by the way. Oh, okay. So definitely before it. So it's not
a reference to it. But the greatest
thing though and this is what I said in the show's
intro this because it's a flashback
they give Hogan this like
top of the head only
piece. Holy shit this thing looks
terrible. Leave the American public know that he's
looked like this since 1978.
You know what I mean? He came out of the womb
with the skullet. Eighty-one like
his Rocky 3 like it's been a while
it's been a very long
and storied years for this
skullet. But so Johansen
whips out a piece and
fires at Hulk Hogan
I think for like mouthing off and
and not throwing the fight. I love this line
that he has like first you defy me
and then you lock my hair
yes. That's when he starts shooting.
Prepare to die. Yeah. And then the
way that Sherman Hemsley like
screams and throws himself in front of
Hulk Hogan is amazing. He
was not prepared to have to do
an assassination attempt
in this movie. I would say it's harder
to hit Sherman Hemsley on
Hulk Hogan than it is to just hit Hulk Hogan.
I'm thinking about the bulletin
The math. Yes, exactly. It's like, oh, no, let me just put, I'm trying to hit this barn.
Let me put this tiny, a fig leaf in front of it. You know what I mean?
It's still going to hit the barn, dude. It's like a fly landing on a dog, and you tried to assassinate the dog, and you only shot the fly.
So you only throw the fly into the lake.
Right.
So after that happens, so Hulk Hogan chases after David Johansson running up to the roof.
Like, David Johansson hurls this, like, cop.
out of the way and as
Hulk Cogan is giving chase he says to the cop
I've got this
you know a professional wrestler no you don't
I'm gonna get this one
right right but this is
I mean it is a fucking ridiculous thing
here he throws him off this roof
and then the flashback stops and we were told
that Johansen landed head
first in an empty swimming pool
and that is how he got the fucking
plate on his head good god
amazing it's amazing
but also amazing in these scenes
is Sherman Hemsley and Mother Love just like
They want to fuck so bad
That the kid knows
Well, okay
This is the thing with this kid
Here's the thing with this fucking kid, okay?
This kid, okay, so he comes in
And Sherman Hemsley's trying to put some hot sauce on something
Yes
Well, it's the very insulting move, dude
If someone has made you a plate of food
And you put that hot sauce on before you even taste it, very insulting.
Okay, so but this is so, but this is
So this is happening.
And she's like, don't you do that?
That's an insult.
And then Alex shit boy comes in.
He's like, geez, you could cut the sexual tension in here with a knife.
Oh, yeah.
And then they look at each other.
Cracks open a cold Coca-Cola.
Yeah.
And then they look at each other like, maybe.
And then he's like, I think this is too adult for me.
I'm like, motherfucker, you started it.
Totally.
You are the hoardy master.
You did it.
You said sex and nobody wanted you to.
Jesus. Oh, my God.
So, yeah, go ahead, Steve.
Oh, no, so yeah, the next thing is basically that they are like drowning Austin Pendleton,
which is a lot of fun to look at, I think.
It is fucking funny, man.
Because it's a scene that starts and it's like David Johansson's just jaw on at these.
Hot, hot, hot, right?
Remember that from the 80s? Do you remember that one from the 80s?
And he gets his head buffered here.
Yes.
This is the real sexual shit.
Yes, Eric, you're right.
This is how the scene starts with the head buffering.
And he's like, make sure you get the sides all leaving this time.
And you're like, all right.
And he's definitely like coming while this is happening.
Absolutely.
And then like the guy, one of the other guys, you know, Wolfgang or one of the other guys is like,
oh, hey boss, it's been like 90 seconds.
And he's like, all right.
And then it's like revealed that Austin Pendleton's been underwater the whole time.
Massive legitimate laugh in my house.
Yeah, that's good.
That's good.
I just want a whole movie
of torturing Austin Pendleton
because he's so good
of being tortured
I would like
just put him in a season
of 24 for God's sake
and he's like
well you gotta give me
the chip
I need the chip
and it's like
what price is
what price is what's your price
and it's like I don't know
he's like
what about you kids
and my favorite thing
is like you pig
you pig
yeah
calling the pig is great
I would be like
if I were that dad
I'd be like, if I cared about those kids,
I would have, I would have paid attention to them by now.
You would hope.
Yeah, he should have been like,
nice try, David Johansson.
I don't give a shit about my kids.
Have you seen the way of been raising them?
I literally call him shit boy.
What do you?
Yeah.
Come on.
Just to do it.
Uh, so hell rains down on the,
on the homestead back at the house here.
Because while Hulk Hogan is doing ballet with this little girl,
the goons break down the door
and immediately, one of them
immediately is like choking out Mother Love
and I'm like, you know what?
Why don't you just make her sit on the couch?
It's a lot.
First of all, this movie was sold on
Imagine Hulk Hogan and a tutu.
Could you stop, hold on to your side
when I tell you that this
cars are driving off the road.
This gentleman, because that's the poster,
that's the trailer, that's the whole fucking thing
is this guy is going to do a tea party with a little girl and wear a tutu and oh my god can you even imagine
but he's a big strong man i know eric it's just not done where did they get the hulk size tutu
that's a great that's a great that's the hugest joke of the movie is it's like oh my god
you're wearing spandex motherfucker that's all you've ever worn like totally yeah like that's
you wear it every day of course it's a movie in the 90s with like cartoony bad guys there is a
karate guy. There has to be.
You need a karate guy. There's always one.
He has the best stunt work in the movie
though because he's the guy who runs upstairs after the
kids and like there's a gag that said
it before. It does not matter how it
happened. Who cares? But the
kid has a wallet that if you open it,
electricity comes out of it and it shocks you
and he's like, he says to this
dude, here take my wallet.
All I have is $10,000
and this guy opens the
wallet and he gets electrocuted and falls
off the, you know, overlook.
They could be heavier for $10,000.
Also, you think that this would be the climax of the movie where, like, if you're setting up, if you're doing the home alone thing, if you're setting up a kid who has all these wacky inventions, turned the inventions back around on the bad guys.
I was expecting a tripwire because there's so many tripwires all over the house.
That's ridiculous that you didn't bring that one back out.
That's the kid's greatest hit.
Check out's tripwire.
Like, have them chase them through the gym and have them, like, do something with the magnet or like the electrocute them with the,
thing. Somehow they die.
Well, the real thing that
he uses that, he gets,
you do get another use of the
electro wallet when he's
killed, I assume kills the bullies.
Yes. When they try to take it
from him and fucking get electrocuted.
Yes, that is the debut of the
electric wallet.
The weird, the weird thing here is
why is Wolfgang like a Terminator?
Because like, arguably
Hulk Hogan could kick the shit
out of this guy. Like, he,
Wolfgang is
also very much in shape. We see him fucking
pull a door off of a safe
at one point early in the film. But
like, it's the weird thing of Hulk Hogan's
just like punching the shit out of this guy and he's like
not even moving. Like, give me at least
a fair fight between two wrestling
shaped guys. That gag works
when the guy punching is Harrison Ford.
Yeah. Not when it's Hulk Hogan.
Yeah. You can't do that gag with Hulk Hogan.
Otherwise, yeah, Wolfgang's a Terminator.
He's invincible and he beats him up and they take the
kids. Meanwhile, the dog
has the microchip in it and not that that matters
but it does and it's with the girl
and this is when they take
they take the kids
and Sherman Helmsley
they leave Hulk Hogan and Mother Love behind
for whatever reason they have a gun and one of the guys is like
what about him and they're like
we can't make business with pleasure
like no kill him now
and then you don't have to worry about it
that's exactly right I would argue kill fucking
Sherman Helmsley in front of the house why not
kill everyone yes
See, that would have been great, Eric.
If this movie just ended in a bloodbath, you did not see that guy.
That would be amazing.
Like, oh, this, the pit of blood was foreshadowing this fucking family annihilation.
Oh, my God.
But so whatever, they bring them back and they're still trying to torture.
They, this kid gets punched in the face by David Johansson.
Yeah, and it's really something.
It's pretty sad.
It is, yes.
It's good.
Oh, man.
The catharsis I felt with this kid
Because it happens twice
Like he gets he gets punched in the face
Or slapped by David Johansson
Then there's another part where I think it's Wolfgang
Kicks this kid like across the room
Holy fuck that's funny
It's like a full on wire pole stunt
Yeah definitely he just keeps going
The kid is like
Oh Hulk Hogan has the chip
You have to get him over here
So they call him and then he gets on his motorcycle
I think Mother Love gives him some inspiration
Like I always believe in you or something
sure, that's a movie now.
Is this where he grabs the electric
toilet seat? They think
the chip is in that? Yes.
He says it's in the electric
toilet seat because this kid has been designing
fucking torture devices for Guantanamo.
I mean, putting
electricity that close to water
in general, like, come on.
Not great idea. I know. I know.
This kid's a fucking cereal. It's crazy.
Yeah. I will say
I like that this, so he gets the
toilet seat that has the
that has the secret chip and the Dolly thing.
So then starts, my favorite part of this,
it's about five minutes of Hulk Hogan in Miami Vice.
Yep.
He gets on the speedboat and it's just like with this other ruffian
who runs the boat fight.
It's a fucking boat fight.
It's awesome.
This is the question that I've always had with Hulk Hogan
is why has that movie never happened?
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, no holds barred is the closest,
but he's still a wrestler.
So, like, why is it he just a down-in-his-luck-bought bounty hunter who gets involved in some coke money?
Is that Thunder and Paradise, kind of?
Yeah, but it's a TV show and it's like a little bit more PG-30.
I want him in a hard, an R-rate.
Hard-R vote violence, yeah.
Like a Van Dam-esque movie where it's just, it's Hulk Hogan fucking people.
The difference there is wrestling is for children and Jean-Claude Van Dam is European.
That's adult.
So you want, so you want a.
you want a Leon the
professional with Hulk Hogan
Sure
Okay
You're a little too young even for me brother
This movie's a little French for me if you know what I'm talking about
I don't know what's going on with this guy and this girl
I'm not wearing that hat
I don't know who you're talking about this Chuck Chaplin
But no
I mean Steve you're bringing up a question that I had like
You know watching this movie today
Why he was never able to transfer
into like more adult fair because like the rock did it the rock started doing like you know
like kid shit the rock was successful though no yeah i guess that's true but like the fact that
he never wound up in bad direct to vhs action movies though like just give me one of the time
yeah thunder and paradise is very close though i will i will give it points but yeah this is
Miami vice he's fighting people on boats and stuff i mean it's fun it's a great fight he gets
handcuffed to the boat steering wheel
which he just proceeds to rip off
and then just he totally murders
this guy he fucking ties a rope around him
and throws him into the bay
adios dude is he
being dragged behind that
yeah probably because that's a terrible death
I'd rather just be thrown off into the bay
yep no that dude died horribly
for David Johanson
that's what happened yeah good move
when he gets on the boat though it's also great
because he's riding the motorcycle right up to the
and he just like skids out
and throws the motorcycle into two
people. That is great. Using the motorcycle as a weapon.
Yes, it's so awesome.
So he swims in
and he swims like up into the hideout
in the same like square cut hole in the floor
that I thought at one point in the movie.
It just went past all the milk.
Yes, it's like weird like soggy gray water.
Very strange.
It's that Florida water, you know.
Yeah, that that Biscayne Bay water there, I guess.
It'd be great to be swimming and he's like, the hell's this dog doing here.
Hey, don't I know you from somewhere, brother?
That dog should save the day.
Should start biting people.
Fuck, dude, yeah.
All of a sudden, there was a hero dog in this movie.
To be fair, it's Chekhov's dog.
If you throw a dog in the first act, it needs to come back in the third.
Absolutely.
For revenge.
Yeah, of course.
Oh, no, it's that dog we sit to death.
It's coming to get us.
Oh, no, I saw a pet cemetery.
Oh, fuck.
Look, brother, I know I should have a,
I should have stopped and stopped that man from throwing you in the ocean,
but I was in a rush.
I needed the job.
I needed the job.
I'm being chilly out of a can, brother.
It'd be so cool if there was a flashback that showed David Johansson was the one
throwing it into the bay because what,
all this criminal schemes don't make, don't add up to much of anything.
Now we're just turning this movie into Amaris Peros.
And yes, correct.
That's the lost fourth segment of Amora's Peros.
We're like, Gail Garcia-Bernal rescues the dog from the fucking Miami beach and brings it to Mexico and trains it as a fighting dog.
My first idea is microchips.
My second is a wave of dog drowning.
And then fixing wrestling matches.
Yes.
Perfect.
He infiltrates it's Sands dog, sadly, without just no doubt.
Yeah, it's a bummer.
David Johansson does kind of have a great line here
because he has already of course
recognized Sherman Helmsley but then here's Hulk Hogan
and he goes I expect more from the man who wrestled
at the West Memphis Pork Pavilion
No there's a line that he says like when he laments his hair
That like has legitimately stuck with me since childhood
He's like I had to fake lustrous manageable hair
Manageable
It's great
I think it's a genuinely good line
and there's a reason it is stuck in my brain
for at least two decades.
All the Hulk and movies
have like three good lines.
Yeah. That's what you're getting out of.
You're not getting him from this little boy
though because he's got another shit-ass one
coming up. But he goes
the craziest thing in this movie
is Sherman Helmsley, he's like his wrists
are bound by rope.
He somehow gets his hands on a machine gun
and shoots through the rope.
Like he's got a machine gun like
tuck between his knees, and he's
firing it up into the ceiling.
He's got the Hemingway. He's got a toe
on the trigger, and he's
letting it go. Sherman Hemingway.
Yeah.
The kid gets kicked in the face
by Wolfgang, which is great.
But so Hulk Hogan, like,
like he's Jason Voorhees.
Hulk Hogan wraps chains
around this guy.
Yes. And keeps wrapping him in chains,
and then, like, ties it and hooks it to a thing.
And then this fucking kid just goes,
hang out, Wolfie.
baby and pushes
like the button and the thing like
you know hangs this guy up in the air
wolfie baby get out of here
with this kid and his one line
the kids got one good line when they
when David Johansen thinks that the
electric toilet seat contains the microchip
he says there's no chip in there
dork brain
yeah what does he say like
so sue me
and it was like it was a real
excuse me princess moment
yeah we were trying to get that on t-shirts
man so sue me it's the 90s
that was also a suburban commando the neighbors were like
oh yeah we're not gonna kick your ass what do you think
it's the 90s we're gonna sue you're totally
yeah I do so sumi was like that classic
schoolyard thing that you said to people in 90s
or it was like so sue me I don't know it was just so
it was so dumb that that's what those jokes began
to erode the sense of law and order in this nation
that's true that's true
That is why we now live in our age of American carnage.
Yes.
There's a direct line between that.
So Sumian Mr. Nanny all the way to the attack on the Capitol.
Absolutely.
You can find it.
Do one of those memes with that little domino thing.
Who knows?
I mean, where the fuck is this guy who played the kid these days, man?
Maybe he was there on the Capitol stuff.
He might have his Q.
He's Q.
He's Q.
He's Q.
Yeah, it's a branch of the proud boys, the shit boys.
The shit boys.
I believe it.
It's the same thing.
They're just the same exact organization.
Canada's
Canada's newest terrorist,
the proud boys.
He's using,
so David Johansson decides
out of nowhere,
he's going to be like a villain
in a Ninja Turtles cartoon.
He's like bending over
and using this metal plate
as like a ramrod kind of thing.
Yeah.
It is insane.
I will not be denied my pleasure.
I will hurt your belly
and maybe kill myself.
Yeah.
I will break my own neck.
I mean, yeah, because, I mean, like, how much power are you getting to this guy?
It's, you know, what, I mean, what he is doing right here is what they teach you, like, your first day of playing, like, like, Pop Warner football, right?
When you're a little kid and you start, you learn how to play football.
Like, when they teach you at a tackle, the first thing they tell you is do not do it with your head down like that because you will 100% break your fucking neck.
it works the same way that jaws as jaws work in james bot like like your teeth shouldn't be able to do it no matter how metal it is but metal equals strong so right yeah that's about right and the kid wires something that you know zaps his brain work together and like babbled the techno about we can generate electricity try to figure out what the fuck they're talking about here with this whole contraption i have no idea this is that educational bent thing where like you have to
get some facts in here.
Like, this is...
Infotainment. Don't you know?
Dad, this is a transformer.
We can do this thing and that thing.
And it will tell you how much I know. I hear transformer.
I still think robot that turns into
car, car that turns into a robot.
Me too, dude. That'd be cool if there was
a Deo Sachs transformer here.
Hulk Hogan, get the fuck out of here with these kids.
I'll take it from here. I'm Sherman Helmsley's
newest bodyguard. We go way back.
He took a bullet for me.
once.
They do it twice too
because then later he's like
oh yeah and a conductor
a person who drives a train
but they do
is David Jensen's dead here right
because basically he goes into space
yeah either he's dead or he's fucking living
out the rest of his days on the moon dude I don't know
bumps into Rita Repulsa from the Power Rangers
reboot we see his head
fall to the ground the plate
the plate yeah that's
Disgusting, dude, there's a little bit of fucking, like, viscera in there.
Like, brain in there.
Scanner cop.
Stealing from Scanner cop.
You're totally right.
Yeah.
Or did Scanner cop steal it for Mr. Danny?
It's a great question.
Scanner cop came out a year after this movie, so it's possible.
Well, you know what?
They perfected it.
That's true.
Yeah.
Way better in Scanner Cup.
And everybody cribs from Gottlieb.
We all know.
He's the sparks of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of,
movies, like everything comes back
to him. Well, we should point out
like when, like the plan is like
he just gets, they build a magnet
and so as like David
Johansson is like, you know, running
of the bull running towards Hulk Hogan
for his final head strike, he suddenly
like flies into this
rod and spins
around it, Looney Tunes style.
It's amazing.
It's a lot. It's a lot. It takes a
lot. Like any
any disbelief you had,
it's over with like there's just just it's gone and and austin pendleton is like smiling at this person
being murdered in front of him yes well now he knows like now finally no one is after my
he's gotten a taste for blood and so now he and it's going to be like dexter yeah like that's how
he and his son are going to bond now the kid has a shit-ass line right here though when the plate
falls back on the ground he goes man really blue his top oh god i'm okay with it no the only
everything worse in that line is how satisfied
shit boy is saying those words. I'm like
don't you be proud of this. Well,
because if you're that little kid actor, you're looking at
the script and you're doing these scenes and you're
like, wait a second, I have
all the funny zingers in this movie.
I'm going to be huge
after this. Yeah. I'm going to put some
a stank on it. Yeah.
I'm kind of confused what happens at the
real end of this movie because suddenly
Sherman Helmsley becomes chief
of police. I don't even know.
I don't know what this is. He's dressed like
Gaddafi at the end. Like what
that he win? Dude, I don't know. Like the shoulder pads
on this jacket. Dude, you just don't remember 90s
fashions, man. Yeah, yeah. It's insane. And I said, hey, everybody
out, president for life. And he's just walking
around. Okay. There goes, just call him the president. It's fine.
We call that Gaddafi. Yeah. Yeah, it's the Gaddafi.
I feel like what you're supposed to believe there
is that he is just like, he's the new head of security for Austin
Pendleton, I think is the idea. God.
The fact that there is this ridiculous fucking fairy men's Captain of the Titanic fucking outfit he's got on.
And it's so dumb.
We get a reprise of Dream Dad while literally the two, like the two dads are talking.
Like Hulk and Pendleton and they're like, no, he's the real dad.
Don't you get it?
And it's crazy too because Pendleton is like, you know, well, you know, you did a really great job, Hulk Hogan.
And he's like, no, brother.
you're doing a great job i'll tell you what raising kids is the toughest gig i know yeah did you know
that well in the whole thing he ends it like is he's like i'm going to take a break from a while but
the kids who love him now mind you uh don't want that to happen so to preserve them like he they prank
him again yes one last prank for the road dude you kind of fucking throw him off a fully operating
motorcycle where he's not wearing it so funny if that was the thing that finally killed him
He's a criminal mindset.
They're going to get him and then stuff him.
And then he's just in their room.
He's their doll to play with, essentially.
They're going to weaken at Bernie's him.
Yes.
Tea party.
That final shot of him just mid-air flying to an unknown future or death or what.
Going to be his fucking father in hell tonight.
You're right.
It is very much like the end of the graduate.
You see him looking out.
You don't know what that look means necessarily.
Hello, darkness.
old friend.
I mean,
instead of,
if it was a
weekend of Bernie's
situation though,
instead of
calypso music
that makes them
go and walk around,
it'd be butt rock.
Or dream dad.
And I keep,
I keep having this dream
of where I'm flying
off a motorcycle
and going up
ahead of me is my own father.
Of course,
I'm now the older man
and then he's flying off
a motorcycle.
And that was it?
Oh, man.
were you saying something cabin i'm sorry i said and that was it
that was it indeed that is the end of the movie i wanted to point out
um because i'm sure sure someone's going to mention it so just to stop some tweets here
none of us knew this until i'm about to say it right now
apparently in 2014 director michael gotlieb was killed in a motorcycle accident
oh yeah so we did not know that until i just said it now however
to just shout out this dude's filmography for a second
um not a huge director i think he was more of like a writer and producer on things but
director of 1987's mannequin absolutely and manning well and he wrote manikin too
oh so he maybe wrote manikin one also then i don't know yeah yeah he wrote he's the mastermind
behind the mannequin franchise it's probably his best work and he did a kid in king arthur's
court no absolutely that's that's yeah that's a pre-famed daniel craig in it it does
And Kate Winslet.
Ooh, that I didn't remember.
Oh, yeah, Kate Winslet.
Princess Sarah and Daniel Craig is Master Cain.
Master Cain.
All right, I'm watching this.
Okay, movie.
Oh, man, would anybody recommend this movie?
Clint, as the guest this week, we'll start with you.
Could you repeat the question?
I was too busy, mesmerized by a kid and King Arthur's Court.
Would you recommend this film to the listening public?
Oh, no.
I would recommend you listen to rough stuff for 90 minutes.
and you will have a better time.
Fair enough, Steve Sadek.
Yeah, I think that this is the worst of the bunch.
I mean, like, I just consider it the first three,
the Knowles Bard, Suburban Commando, and Mr. Nanny.
Like, I think you're better off watching Suburban Commando.
At least there's, like, weird space shit in that.
And Christopher Lloyd, like, you know what I mean?
Like, this is a step up from Austin Pendleton.
Love Austin Pendleton, but Chris Lloyd is a step up.
Austin Pendleton and International Man of Mendleton, yeah.
Yeah, it's a no for me.
me. Chris Cabin?
No, but I do have, I mean, I have to, oh, no, if I watched this like hundreds, I watched
this so much as a kid. I had the tape, but going back to it, it was pretty rough. I would say
of the Hulk movies, No Holds Bard is the one I remember the best. Like, that's the most
remarkable to me. Because it has the line, dude. Dukey and Lister. Yeah, I mean, it has a lot
going for it um i i i certainly enjoy this more than the rip-offs of this that have come since like
pacifier yeah yes that was the vin diesel one right yeah and like tooth fairy the the original
dwayne johnson one very similar to this as well the game plan also kind of like this uh like
this at least has like a little bit more weirdness to it there's not so much control uh but yeah
don't see it john sina had one just like a year or two ago it was like playing with fire or was
like a firefighter? Oh, yes. Yes. And that, yes, that was the latest iteration of this thing of tough
guy hanging out with kids. Bautista just had one at early last year called My Spy, which actually
is not terrible. Oh, really? I haven't seen it. I think, I, I think it knows how to use
Batista's size, if that makes sense. It would know how to just depict him as a giant dude who
is awkward in his body. It would make sense that Bautista would make the best version of it,
for sure. Okay. Now, all you guys, hold on.
under your monocles. I'm going to suggest
this movie, recommend
it very lightly. In terms of
once you and all the boys get vaccinated,
you get back together, you
fucking get hammered. Get a gold
fashion drunk on and
put this on. I mean, the other
Hulk Hogan movies are probably better, but
it's still just dumb
donkey shit, bullshit.
You can watch with the boys.
Just crack open a can of beans.
I would say, I like that.
Oh, I've been there.
Eat your slop.
I would say, Eric, I agree with you because, like, sitting at home today by myself just watching this this morning, I wanted to just straight up die.
Yeah.
But I can totally see, like, in normal times, getting together with friends watching this movie, because it is ridiculous.
It is a trip down memory lane, one in which I was like, how did my parents not throw me in a river fucking putting movies like this on, you know?
so I'd recommend it in safe social situations only
watching it alone at 10 a.m. with black coffee
probably not. Not so great.
The bummer about Hulk Hogan's IMDB page here
trying to find all the things that he's like acted in
is all of his wrestling shit is in with that.
So it's like you have to scroll
because I'm sitting here scrolling but you've got to look through
dozens of just like random WWF shit
that he's just got credits
as Hulk Hogan for.
But you know what?
1993 is when
Thunder and Paradise came out.
He's driving a boat.
He's firing guns.
You know, there's a pretty lady
that he's trying to save.
His character's name is Randolph J.
Hurricane Spencer.
Dude, his nickname is Hurricane.
I mean, it's really all you need.
Yeah.
They did supposedly cut it
into like a under two hour
like condensed like movie story.
Because if you look it up on IMDB,
there is a Thunder and Paradise 93.
one hour and 44 minutes.
I wish that was available.
Or maybe it is. I don't know.
He was in a four-season
long animated show
called China, Illinois for
Adult Swim. Nope.
Oh, boy.
Right alongside, is Brad Neely
created it? Oh, right. Okay.
All right. And Greta Gerwig has a
voice in it. Oh, no. That's interesting.
Brad Neal is funny. I like Brad Neely.
Hey, uh, hey Greta.
Yeah, it's Terry. Just want to tell you. I just
caught little women in the theater.
Loved it, darling. You did a great job there.
I'm scrolling on his IMDB, and Steve,
you might be interested. There's an R-rated
movie, 98. He was in The Ultimate
Weapon. I like the sound
of that. Yeah, that might
be something. Because that's what I
was talking about. Dude, those were the kind of movies I wish
he got to make more of. And now you're
telling me the ultimate weapon. Let's see, oh, here we go.
1990. Oh, man. And he's playing
a dude named Cutter. Oh, we got to find this.
There's another R-rated movie from
97. Assault on Devil's.
island where he's got long fake hair and no mustache and
oh my god i don't think i've ever seen carl weathers he was in an episode of walker texas ranger
as a character named boomer knight that sounds right that's what they know about the boardwalk
wait a second though back to assault on devil's island because you're right eric carlweathers
hulk hogan shannon tweed fucking martin cove is in the movie john crease himself uh Trevor goddard
RIP, the
Cano, Mortal Kombat. It says it's a TV
movie, but I'm thinking it might be
Showtime or HBO or something, because it is
supposedly rated R. And you know,
the lines are blurred anymore anyway.
What is TV? What is film?
Oh, man. Well, that is
going to do it on Mr. Nanny
unfortunately from
1993, directed
by Michael Gottlieb. Clint, one more

And as always,
We Hate Movies. You can check out more content.
Of course, patreon.com slash we hate movies.
We have introduced a new Patreon tier into the family.
Steve Seda,
if you want to take that away?
Yeah, it is the Walsh, the $10 tier,
the executive tier, we'll call that.
It gives you a, we already dropped it,
our Nexus style episode on series on Beverly Donatuno
and Melrose Place.
It's going to be monthly.
But there's all sorts of crazy bonus shows coming up.
Next month we're going to do some kind of a recap on Zach Snyder's Justice League, ladies and gentlemen.
And that's what we have to keep calling it, right?
Because that's how they're distinguishing it.
Yes, they're not calling the Snyder Cut because they don't give those people that much.
But they're going to call it Zach Snyder's Justice League.
And then the month after that, in April, we're going to be bi-monthly every other month.
We'll be doing a once-in-a-lifetime.
You've asked for it.
It's coming.
We're going to do lifetime movies on that tier as well.
That tier is going to be really, really.
and it also obviously gets you everything else we do
which includes this month
Gremlins too, right? That's right.
The new batch. Oh yeah.
Hey, Gremlins! Get out of that projection booth. Give me some
hot popcorn.
We got that going on. We got
animation, damnation, the Gleep Glossary,
the next is all that stuff. You get it all
on this $10 tier plus all these
new shows that we've announced.
And of course, hey, Steve, you know what? I mean, as
always, man, the show rose on
here on this free feed. So next Tuesday,
what classic pieces in there are we covering?
We're doing something because I've never heard of it
called Live Wire Eric Siska.
I'm so
pumped for this. I believe HBO has it.
Don't quote me on that. Look for yourself.
But Pierce Bros. and Ron Silver
bomb diffusing movie, it's one of the best things
I've discovered in the past few years.
It's fucking totally bad shit crazy.
