This week on the program, it's a movie with the protagonist so rotten, it makes you root for Jeffrey Jones.
It's the pest.
I'm Andrew Jupin.
Stephen Sadek.
Eric Siska.
Chris Cabin.
And we hate movies.
Fucking people.
Shit.
Thank you.
Hello everyone. Welcome to We Hate Movies. Thank you for tuning in. As always, that's right. We are kicking off the 2021 listener request month with a real, real rotten piece of cinema. It's the pest from 1997 directed by Paul Miller. You may be familiar with his work if you've ever watched the country music award broadcast on television. This is my working theory is Paul Miller's a ghost. A real person couldn't have directed this. This was corporal form direction.
Well, he also worked on Mad TV, so I definitely see some of those elements here, maybe.
I do.
I buy that because I don't believe that real people direct award shows.
You know what I mean?
I feel like it's either ghosts or possibly people in the Witness Protection Program.
Or artificial intelligence.
They're not physical manifestations.
They're like, you can put your hand through them.
I think if you are any member that is named in the hit song Monster Mash,
you are allowed to direct an award show
do you ever see those things where it's like a real
sort of inceptiony type thing where like a
like some dude who directed like the Oscars
will win an Emmy because he directed the Oscars
yeah that's all fake we don't need an award for that shit
we really do not we do not need to spend the time on it
and also all those like and Lao watch go
see everybody in the booth that's Pixar
Pixar puts that together it's all computers
it's fake it's totally fake oh you know what i was just fake this fucking movie how about that i uh
i i i you know what i'm not going to give in that it isn't fake like i don't i don't i barely
remember this fucking thing it's just like a force of malevolence that was visited upon me at
some point yesterday it's like an alien abduction right chris it's just like it it takes you you know
you experienced something bad but you don't quite know what
And you end up smelling like a bog at the end of it too.
Absolutely, 100% on that one.
I would rather have some sort of probe jammed in one of my holes than watch this ever again.
And I should say, I watched it last night for the first time.
I'd never seen it, but I like, the poster for this, like the VHS cover for this,
I remember just like proudly passing by this movie in the video store.
Just like a absolutely not thanks, but no thanks.
I was, like, just nonstop saw this trailer, and I was just like, there's no way.
I'm just not going to do this.
You never saw it, Chris?
I never saw it before.
This was my first time.
First time.
Steve, is this your first time?
It is, and I believe listeners can agree that are so inclined.
I believe there's a substantial comic book advertisement, like the back ad of a comic book of the past.
I remember, like, I think I have comic books in my house that have John Liguizamo in the stupid sunglasses.
You got to fucking burn.
those dude that's bad juju man you just moved into a new place you got to get that stuff
out of there you got to get it out of there immediately i can't believe i'm the only one that has
seen this before i saw this as a kid it was probably on hbo or you know one of the movie networks
or something it seems like something that was like a bargain bin the hbio acquisition it
kind of makes sense an idiot producer brain like john lequizamo is best known for doing one man's
shows he won an obi one two drama desks that doesn't mean anything necessarily plenty of bad stuff
is one obis and drama desks but like he's a big name for doing this stuff let's do let's just
have him do his thing in a movie plus a sventura-esque stuff yes yes i think jim carrie is
definitely an influence here and and i guess carry at the time was probably moving over to the cable
guy doing some a little least more interesting work and john ligazama was there trying to get that
scrap um we should say this uh the first week of listener request month because we would never
do this uh without being forced no no no and you know steve thanks for pointing that out again
because the people who requested this what did we ever do to you this is i mean this is up there
i mean this this year especially between this and warriors of virtue big ones are coming off the
board the only one the biggest one that didn't get picked out of the hat was fear which we have
to do this year, I think. I think we really need to find
Yeah, just get that out of the way.
Sorry, I have to stalk your daughter.
Well, that'll be perfect for like Thanksgiving.
Oh, yeah, there you go. So before we get going here,
let's listen to one of these several requests for this film
from someone who clearly hates our rotten guts.
Hi, this is Sarah from New Jersey, and I was calling
to recommend 1997's The Pest,
which features John Leguizano and Jeffrey Jones
And it's pretty much the dregs of humanity.
And it made me very sad to watch it.
But it would make me happy if you guys talked about it.
So I would really appreciate it.
Farewell.
And good luck.
Farewell, indeed.
Farewell indeed, man.
You should say that to someone.
Like, you know, I felt like I was in a ship that was just about to, like, sail off the edge of the world watching this movie.
Ma'am, I clearly do not have good luck.
This got chosen.
Where do you think I'm at?
here. I paused this movie
halfway through and Mark Rylance took me
by the hand and brought me on the ship and said we're
going back to watch it.
There's no going back
now, Eric. Oh, we have
to go back to the TriStar logo
and start it all over again.
Dude, I wish I fucking got killed at a boat
whilst watching this film.
Absolutely.
Better day.
Not bad. I
think I dodge this movie
kind of like a bullet. I was not a job.
Le Guzamo head, but I had a lot of, and I, oh, actually, you know, still do have a lot of goodwill towards John Leguizamo, and I don't know why that is. I think he's a talented guy. I think you know, he's a good actor. He's a dramatic and I, he, his later period has been pretty decent, yeah. Yeah, I mean, like, he's really good in Romeo plus Juliet. Yes. He's a really good temple. And like, uh, I've, he, this was like, kind of the last gasp of him doing full on comedy. Yeah. Like, because House of Buck and got cam.
He got a divorce.
This thing comes out.
They make sure it's out of theaters within a week.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
So he does House of Buggin, which was him doing like sketch comedy.
Me and Chris watch that show, not together, but me and Chris maybe the only two.
I remember a single joke from House of Bugger.
Would you like to hear it?
Oh, of course.
Absolutely.
And I think about this joke quite often.
You know what?
You're so stupid.
You need to pull your pants down to count to 11.
And I think I use that in, like,
like in like grade school. I think that was something. The dick is a digit. Dick is the 11th digit
in this scenario. Digit dick. One thing about Hassabuggin, it does I think have the first instance
of a movie podcast in it. There is an, one of the recurring bits they would do is a bunch of guys. It was
Luis Guzman, uh, John Likizamo and Michael Bolton from office space. Yeah. Herman. Dave Herman. Oh, sure. Yeah. And
they would just like talk during a movie, well, a movie, they're in the audience of a movie
and they're talking during a movie. And they're like, so who do you think, you know,
do you think Freddie or Jason would kill each other? I know, actually, I think Freddie would
kill Jason. Nah, Jason would kill Freddy. Are you kidding me? Oh, but what about Alien
versus Predator? Ah, Predators got him. No, no, no. Alien's going to burst out of the chest.
Come on. Yeah, it's real shocking. This was canceled almost immediately. And in this week's
episode is brought to you by casper they taught us everything we know i was i said do they uh did they
presage all movies like oh what about a green book what do you think about that
hold the pizza come out of here no now wait a second though because i have to i have a very
important question for chris because so chris you said he does house of buggin and then what
happened i think he gets a divorce so okay what fucking e true hollywood story john loguzamo did you
watch that there's divorce information in your head it's the
literally just like on his IMDB page he's advertising his divorce oh is that like a project an
upcoming project divorce pending is the idea I mean it just it's it just seems weird to me that
like he makes this like this is the last thing that happens and that it's like almost all
mostly dramatic roles after I kind of agree with you Chris because it's weird like he this I
would have guessed if I like you've told me like hey man and even when I watch this movie like
what year did this come out? I would have said like
94, 95. I would have guessed earlier
1997 felt so late.
Because he was a younger guy, like, you know what I mean,
around Marrier Brothers, it kind of makes sense. Like,
oh, like we said, this guy's got this like one-man show. It's really
something. Let's just make a movie that celebrates
whatever that is. That makes sense, but he's a known
quantity at this point. It makes no sense to do this
wretched movie. Well, because like, and the way
they put it out, like Universal is
going to put it out, they kick it down to
a subsidiary, then they have to make a
deal with TriStar to fund
a month-long shoot
a three-day writing
period.
That seems, that seems
a bit much. I refuse
to believe that someone actually spent three
days on the screenplay for this movie.
We should
note the
same year that this
trash came out. Oh yeah, that's what I was trying.
he's he's way funnier as clown and spawn the same year it's a better better movie honestly
oh yeah 100% it's you know you got michael jai white martin sheen i would kill for martin sheen in this
film uh yeah i don't think martin sheen would be killing to be in this movie i would kill for a d b cooper
i know it sounds weird to say but a d b cooper would really have burnt me up here d b swini you're talking
Not the famed missing bank robber.
I would kill for D.B. Cooper to get some of that money he absconded with.
Okay, back in the day, I would have killed for D.B. Cooper for a price.
D.B. Cooper.
And, you know, Saturday Night Live.
And here's your host, D.B. Cooper.
Hey, man, it's so great to be on SNL.
Really happy.
Lorne, thank you so much.
I didn't think I was going to be able to do it.
I twisted my ankle jumping out that plane.
Most SNL guests, or guest hosts, rather, are criminals.
Hey, arguably funnier movie than this that he did two years later, Summer of Sam.
Yeah, I like Summer of Sam.
So this is, I mean, yeah, he stars as the titular pest, and it is just sort of like,
and I think whenever like you run out of ideas,
is for like I want to do something with a comedian that's kind of fun and give him a lot of room
to like riff he's a con artist it's just like I don't know he's a con artist right because
you're totally right because that affords you the opportunity for him to do uh you know different
disguises different characters and so on and in this movie what that turns into is some of the
most dated garbage race comedy I've ever ever seen and I have to believe
that we're good enough as a human being society
that the shit in this movie is why nobody remembers it anymore
well as the joker will say we live in a society
what is the point of even making him a con artist in this
I feel like you just make him a kid that's living with his parents that doesn't
have his life together that's pretty much what he is we never see him actually
really do much conning do we he has a job at the Chinese restaurant delivering food
that I guess is a con because he's not who he says he is
he's evading consequences for his cons is most of this movie the cons have already happened all the good stuff already happened you're right because at the beginning it's it's four minutes of him singing in the shower about what a scammer he is and you know what he's the one thing he does is like the worst three card Monty riff ever but that's it's terrible yeah yeah he's he's conning people because he's pretending that he's blind and doing a like is a three card money because he's got like coconut cups or something yeah it is three cards
I think at least he says it is.
Oh, I thought it was one of those, like, guess which coconut half the ball is under or something?
One of his friends also built the machine to do the card game?
Sure.
It's like, it's absolute anarchy.
This whole fucking movie.
We got to talk about the shower scene a little more.
Yeah, of course, dude.
This is this like Ernest P. World type of shit.
Oh, my God.
I didn't even connect that, but you're totally right.
That's exactly what this is.
It's John Leguizamo doing earnest.
Yes.
And we get to see all those great characters such as gangster, Dracula, Asian.
Uh-huh.
Yep.
And just repeat that.
Yeah, over and over again.
And he's saying, you know what?
And I took a screenshot and I forwarded it to you guys.
He's singing in a pissy shower.
There is some yellow water at his feet because they keep cutting down to his feet.
I don't know if it's a joke or somebody accidentally pissed.
I'm unclear.
I think it's a joke.
He's brewing.
up some dick beer, folks.
He absolutely is.
I think he supplied the dick beer, but I think that's supposed to be a joke most of all.
No, I think they were just taking forever to film this scene, and he was just pissing in the shower.
Yeah, I'm just going to do it.
It was a little cold on set, you know what I mean?
Like your feet get a little cold, you pee on them.
Oh, yeah, I'm going to warm up my toes.
I'm going to piss all over my feet.
Leguizamo.
It is so much.
And it's always like, when you give a movie a theme song,
like this, it's like, you're writing
a check you can't cash.
Absolutely. Here I am and here I go. I'm
gonna make you laugh and I'm gonna make you go.
And it sucks
too, fuck you. Because like
it's clearly like a rapper's delight
parody and like I
just wish I
was dead. It's
so terrible. And like it's also
it does serve as like
a primer for like
here's all the wacky, hilarious stuff
you're gonna see in this movie. Am I gonna be
a Dracula? Am I going to pretend to be a Chinese guy? Watch and find out. I wish you would do more
Dracula stuff, honestly. I mean... Sure. Yeah.
Going back to the Asian well, he goes to so many times. And I guess that must come from
like his like one-man show stuff. Like, you know, growing up in New York, you'd always find
Asian people who would sound a little something like this. This whole movie is predicated on,
I think, insert ethnicity would sound a little.
little something like this.
It's the whole movie, and it's not
just him doing it. Jeffrey Jones is
doing a rancid
job with this German accent.
Holy Toledo!
It's awful all around.
Well, here's the thing is when you write this movie
and it's like, oh, it'll be funny, it'll be a German
guy, and like, you offer it to
whomever you offer it to, and you get Jeffrey
Jones five
calls later, it's like, you know what,
dude, let's just call him a
fucking businessman and give Jeffrey
some room to maneuver because Jeffrey Jones
pretty troubles funny guy right
like a guy that could especially
like a straight man who's running a foul of
the pest I could see that working
it makes total sense but what
doesn't make sense is how
this character
that LeguZama was playing
here even lived long enough
to encounter Jeffrey Jones because it's
shocking that because clearly
this is every day it's every day with this
asshole screaming in the shower
bothering this family it's
crazy to me that they haven't murdered him and why even make like the most dangerous game type
of thing why not just have geoffrey jones be american like you said and he was a guy that got conned
or something there's some motivation there totally just a revenge thing yes well the most
the fact that this is most dangerous game is it's so dumb well it because it it peters out almost
immediately like they get off the island i'm like wait so it's still going on like you couldn't
believe it it was like the end of the lost world Jurassic park they went back to civilization
Oh, shit, it's a T-Rex.
I think it sounds like an Asian guy.
What are you saying, Cabin?
And it might not have allowed for so many,
what I'm going to call for now,
problematic scenes that happen on the layer
of the most dangerous game stuff.
Set it here.
Maybe we don't have that much of that stuff.
Perhaps.
Yeah.
I mean, that's the weird thing, too, right?
It's like, you know, when we did,
what was that great,
um, Ice Tea movie there,
surviving the game.
that at least they're like okay we're just gonna like huff it up to like northern california or something
like that find a ranch this movie is like no we're sticking to the source material we have to go to
a random island for some reason we don't even spend the rest of the movie in no it's like maybe
20 minutes i would wager the i would i would uh venture that the best scenes of this movie with that
that's a lowercase b and it's also italicized the best scenes of this movie
are Leguizamo, Ares, Spears, and Freddie Rodriguez kind of fucking around as like a couple of near-do-wells doing whatever.
Because then it becomes what I feel this movie is worse than, but feels exactly the same to watch, which is the Jerky Boys movie.
Yes.
It was just the three of them, like, running pranks or whatever, and like there's any kind of reason for them to do things.
Then it's almost a movie.
Here's what it is.
You can just use the most garbage boilerplate, like, 80s, 90s comedy plot, right?
So, like, they're three con artists.
But, of course, in these kinds of movies, right, they're also, like, good guys.
You know, like was almost like a known figure helping the community shit like that, right?
So they're those guys.
And then Jeffrey Jones is like some motherfucker that's going to come in and he's going to bulldoze the community center.
And they come up with the great prank, scam, con, whatever, to screw him over and save the community center and bring peace
to the neighborhood and that's the movie.
Yeah.
There it is.
Make it specific to the neighborhood
where they live, yeah.
No, but it's gross out times.
We need gross outs.
Everything needs to be gross and disgusting
and kind of gross.
Like when you're sitting in the shower,
you pee on your feet and then you go down there's
farting and you almost make out with your mother.
Dude, what is with that dancing?
And that was when I was like,
this is every day.
This is every day with this guy.
Like he's grabbing his mother,
dragging her out into the dance floor.
And like the rest of the family.
is like, hats are
past. Yeah, they've kind of
resigned themselves to hell, it seems
like. I'd move out, man.
I don't care if I'm sleeping in a dumpster.
I would not be able to stand this guy.
No way. The one
sibling does seem like she's on the edge
there.
I'm on the edge
with the past.
I just, I mean, like, thank God
this movie's 85 minutes, because
what?
Dude, it's like,
it was a
grueling 85 man
I thankfully was able to watch it in one
sitting because I put it on after
Chelsea went to bed
I did her that kindness but like
God damn that this just go
and go and go. I'll tell you
you guys think I could pull off
this pest shirt this
the comic book stuff on it? I kind of
like it. When we finally get to tour in the year
2025 I think you
should wear that on the first opening
day. It'll be a new segment
to the live act that will call throw tomatoes at steve what we're just thinking about best scenes i think
one of the best scenes is you know in terms of acting alone uh jeffrey jones you know prowling the
streets of florida for a young boy i mean is that dude that is it's kind of the worst thing
i couldn't believe it i was like yeah he's literally driving around in a car with a dude who looks
exactly like him which is hilarious and they're just looking for young meat did he know
who the camera was on?
Now, you just got to set up a photography studio.
It's actually kind of surprising that it's not the Jeffrey Jones character,
but the Leguizamo character who's allowed to, like,
there's a scene where he's going into a playground and like playing basketball
with kids, and I was like screaming at the TV,
don't let that guy anywhere near a playground.
Yeah, that would be a real mistake for you parents out there if you see someone,
one like this like the best keep them away from your children i mean the name pest let alone like
you're ready you just kind of are born with a uh restriction on where how how close you can be to
schools like it's like my name is the pest it's like you know what dude you can pest across the street
uh wait so you were you were playing basketball with the guy who caused himself the duke of deception
uh i think you should probably not do that anymore justin okay yeah i will buy you one of those like
movable basketball hoops and we
will put it in the driveway. Better yet
I'm going to buy you a knife.
Hey mom, mom, the pest got me
a PlayStation 1.
Oh, pardon me?
Who?
My buddy, the pest. Oh, okay. Is this a kid in your class?
No.
It's like, okay.
He's a 35-year-old man.
So one of the
like under threads of this movie is that
he also owes
$50,000 to the
Get Ready to Laugh America
Scottish Mafia
It's almost a funny joke
But they hang a hat on it
Every time they talk about it
Like you know what I mean
Like Scottish Mafia
Like oh okay I get it
Like
They hang a whole habadashery on it
It's just one hat
They beat this joke to death
Because it's just
It would be sort
Like if they never called attention
That it's weird
It's kind of funny
You know what I mean
It's like okay
The Scottish Mafia
These guys in kilts
da-da-da-da-da but it's like well why aren't
every time they talk about it somebody's like
well why aren't the Italian mafia
it's like well that's the joke
then it wouldn't be a comedy
okay then the movie continues
got it
this in three days got it
but they're Scottish and they do crime
what
the joke has to always have a joke on
top of it like not only they wear
kilts their guns
have like plaid on
on the on the handle
oh really
I didn't notice that.
That sucks.
There's attention to detail
in this movie.
It's just bad.
I like seeing the guy
from the thing
as the head Scottish
Mafioso.
That's nice.
But also the rest of this
is terrible.
I hate this style
of joke telling
where it's not like
it's not even one style
he's going after.
It's just like
open the floodgates
and try every kind of joke
there is.
That's why it's like
the jerky boys movie.
It's like whatever we can think
of and throw at the wall.
You know,
the only thing
that this movie is missing. He's prank phone calls.
And you're right. It strikes me as somebody who, and that's the weirdest part is because
John Lugazamo, like, he'd done movies, like a ton of movies. He was, you know, acclaimed in
Carlito's way at this point, all this stuff. And it's like, it's one of those things where
it almost feels like you're taking somebody who's never done a movie before. And you're
like, you know what? Just make the movie other thing and we'll see what happens. But again,
like this dude's an actor, like a real deal actor. He's an actor that at this point is in a
shit on stage and screen where we know what he's capable of and what works and like this it's
just a disaster so I can't I can't even on some levels guys I can't even I feel like part of this is not
real like I feel like I'm in a simulation and we're talking about a fake movie I think it's a get
it's just producer brain they saw the one man shows and they didn't see the compelling performer
who is just magnetic on his own like just has energy that
beams they saw oh maybe they like the dumb jokes
maybe if we just give him a lot of dumb jokes
that'll work and then he gave they did a show that didn't last
and then did this movie that got pulled from theaters after five days
that's incredible when whenever you see that that is like
grim financial despair
I remember like I've been I've been like working you know the other side of my
life is working in movie theaters and shit but doing it's in
2000, right? The only
time that I'd ever seen that actually
happened was
I almost did you guys remember, but odds
are you don't. There was a movie,
I never saw it, it's Ben Chaplin
and Nicole Kidman, I think it's called the
Birthday Girl. Oh, yeah.
Dude, that was
a like one week and get the
fuck out of this theater and I
never seen anything like it because like
the agreement is usually like
at least two weeks. And this movie
tanked so horribly he was like absolutely not this in from the internet ticker yes it opened to
the 12th place at the box office in over 12 over 1,200 theaters that's wow that's a situation where
you know the house is burned down you know the stable burned down you're just trying to save
the fucking pets get those dogs out of there just 12th place is really something if you think
about it. I mean, 12th place in 1997 on 1,200 screens, like, 1,200 screens, like, that's not,
you know, that's not nothing for 1997. That's a good amount of screens. That is, like,
probably, like, fully wide, probably. Yeah, in 1997, yeah, absolutely. I wonder if, like,
if I had seen it, like, because I remember kind of, like, being aware of it, like, oh, maybe
I want to want, I like, tell what was not, like, if maybe me and my buddy Robb at the time had gone,
did you think it would have got 11th place? You think that was, like, the margin? I think you
you guys could have put it right over dude absolutely you know what these two fat kids came to see the movie let's keep it in for a full week oh you know what all last week it was raining everywhere you know one more week let's see what happens oh you know it's a weird thing in this movie that's really uncomfortable in that geoffrey jones like ride-along part he's looking at people and you don't understand why he's doing it he's got these lines where he's like these people are all so
teeny. Oh, look
at that specimen.
It's weird because it's him
and this other guy who looks exactly
like a best we've said, they're like these two
huge German eggs.
It's a very bizarre.
Like the two of the, they're
humongous egg-shaped men.
I believe the assistant there
is a member of Noam from Married
with Children. That makes sense. Oh, that would
110% track.
Pretty sure on that.
You got a Tom Seismore.
energy is what I would give him.
Yes, yes. Tom Seismore without
the Coke, though. That's even worse.
Tom Seismore, way
more funnier than this guy, his presence
would have been welcomed. Yes, absolutely.
Because at least then with Seismore,
he's good at doing like a, you know, a
Villain, so he'd be like threatening
in a way. That's a problem.
Is there's nothing at all
remotely scary throughout this movie.
The mafia threat, the
German hunters. It's just
it's not real that's the problem never tracks is that we didn't know how menacing geoffrey jones
was at the time seeing it now it truly does it's a it's a melding performance into this nazi-ass guy
but like back then you couldn't have known but what is this like the whole like this plot also it's
just like this oh yeah of course these baby boomer nazis from germany are in miami
hunting every race on the planet
as secret island
an island off the
off of the shores of Miami
it doesn't seem to be that far away
yes oh little St. James there you go
yeah him and Epstein God bought it together
I don't understand
like but where's the money coming from
like I mean I guess it's just old Nazi money
I guess it's gold and arts and antiquity
I don't know absolutely it's just
you know he's he's able
to spend his days
hunting humans for sport due to
the rape of Europa. You know what I mean?
All the fucking art, the gold,
you know. Just turn this
into Inside Man where
John Leguizama
robs
this old aging Nazi.
Wait, which bank did they hold up?
That has all of my ethnic
heads in there. Oh no.
Oh, no. Oh, I bet
that lockbox really smells.
and there it lies to rub
confirming that dude was definitely a no ma'am
by the way
nice I thought so
so yeah
we made it in his crew which is Ari Spears
playing chubby and Freddie Rodriguez
very young Fred Rodriguez as ninja
and then there's like
Spears was on mad TV Steve he was
yeah okay
is he one of those dudes
It's like he's definitely more of a stand-up or something, or has he been in other things?
I mean, I think his career has forced him to be more of a stand-up.
Got it.
I mean, I think he's a pretty funny guy, you know what I mean?
But then there is, he's got a girlfriend and his girlfriend's friend named Malaria.
That's kind of fun.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Yeah, I was laughing my tits off at that.
Malaria.
You know, I'm going to drink more on this episode than usual.
That's fine, Eric.
I'm coasting, dude.
We'll see what happens with this episode.
Listener request month.
You asked for it.
This is what it is.
And he's dating a black woman and she's like, oh, and I'm saying that because it's super
important later in the movie.
Because she's like, you know, you're supposed to see my parents last night.
Why won't you come meet my parents?
And like the weirdest part is like when he goes to meet her parents, it's like,
your best friends with Ari Spears, you're dating a black woman, why can't you just be like,
oh, I can just talk to people like they're normal people? Why does he have to wear an afro to it?
Dude, he's wearing an afro. He's got like a dashiki on. He's wearing like a necklace with the
continent of Africa as like the jewel piece. Like it is a, he comes into the house yelling and
screaming about Angela Davis. Like it is stunning. And the thing that sucks most about that scene just
caught in the middle of it all is poor Joe Morton.
Oh, my God, tremoring like a fucking Terminator is in his sight.
Dude, I would rather Arnold Schwarzenegger come into my house and rip off his skin
suit in front of me than have the pest over for dinner.
Oh, absolutely.
100%.
I mean, like, I'll be honest with you.
If I saw John Likuzaamo in a big Afro-wick coming to my door trying to take my daughter
out for a day, I'd start going like, huh?
I would definitely drop my hand and set off the bomb.
Yeah, we got ahead of it.
But that's, it just, it doesn't, like, that to me exemplifies what's wrong with this movie.
It's like, dude, you hang around with black people all the time.
Why is this something you're doing?
Shouldn't you be trying to impress your girlfriend's parents?
Because look, look, dude, we are like just.
barely crossing the threshold into a feature length film here you know what i mean and it's like
those detours like stopping off at the girlfriend's house for dinner is one of those things where it's like
okay we have no story here so if we add that in it's like a full-on 10-minute detour that will
up that runtime like it has no like they wind up making it sort of consequential to the end of the
movie but you really could have done without it all together it's also like
the villain is into phony race science and the hero is into phony race science so i guess the
only thing to come out of the the three card money scene that really matters is this is when
there's a there's a misunderstanding because geoffrey jones is like oh yeah get me that hot specimen
human flesh and he points to somebody like this like handsome like dude who's playing soccer
and his weird deformed clone uh thinks that he's
pointing at Leguizamo.
So Leguizamo, like the pest is selected.
We still don't know, I mean, it is for hunting humans for sport,
but the movie doesn't tell you that just yet.
We just know that Jeffrey Jones is hunting for a specimen for some reason,
and the pest is selected.
Just be thankful, because originally those binoculars were trained on a KB toys.
Look at all the specimens.
Oh, no, he must be talking about John Nequizamo.
He must be talked about John Leguizamo.
Well, no, all right, we're done hunting for human sport.
Now let's hunt for dinner.
It says them in like a McDonald's drive-thru.
So my next note here goes right in line with the chronology of this film,
and I'll just read you guys the note verbatim here.
It just says, holy fucking shit, this Chinese restaurant scene.
Anyone get the name of the restaurant?
Anyone get the hilarious joke there?
That Wong-Foo?
Yeah, because he was in Tu-Wong-Fu a couple years earlier,
a much more appreciated film.
Yeah.
how many defeated size will I give in this episode try to count listener see what we get
I'll add another one for you this this Asian hair hat he wears
I mean so it is a thing where we are to believe that he has been working as a delivery guy
for this Chinese restaurant and the entire time he's been employed by them he's been
pretending to be Chinese they're buying it and he's doing gibberish
and then I'll throw in stuff like
Me So Horny, a reference to
the Vietnam War film Full Metal Jacket, totally
or the two live cruise song.
Yeah, I mean, you just open
the crank and let it go.
Like just fucking go, John,
Riff, go fucking nuts.
The idea that he would have to be Chinese
to deliver Chinese food just goes against
everything someone from
a metropolitan area would understand.
You know what I mean? Like, you know, that's not just like,
well, I'll, like,
The pizza guy is that a big Italian guy with the big monster guy,
here's your pizza, sir.
It's literally dudes from the neighborhood of any stripe.
Oh, look at that.
The 29 amienids.
It's not the free pay up.
I mean, so like the whole thing here is he's because of his like Tom Foolery
with the three card money and he gets,
he gets briefly detained by the Scottish mafia does not matter.
Update.
That didn't matter.
Well, like kind of.
I guess one of the little jokes about the movie is that he's so stupid and yet he can even fool
like everybody like it's not about like it's that he's fooling them that's supposed to be the
joke it's like he's bugs bunny and even if him putting on something really brief and stupid
it still fools people and we just are expected to go along with it but it doesn't really
work in a live action feature film yes no yeah live action cartoons rarely work but guys
briefly, I want to quickly, before we get out of the
Chinese restaurant, the whole my pet
duck ran away. Oh, of course
quacky, dude, I wasn't going anywhere.
We got to talk about quacky.
Thank you. Jesus Christ.
It's just, and it is, it's like bugs, bunny logic
because people have to like understand, like, if he gets
sad, then they get sad next to him kind
of a thing. That's exactly right,
because his whole thing is the guy is like, all right,
I'm sick and tired of you
being late for your shift. Also,
I'm now for whatever reason coming out
of this fog and realizing you're not even
Chinese and are
wearing this fucking horrendously racist
disguise. Not the most racist
disguise in the film though. We'll get to that one
towards the end. But like, so the dude
is like you're fired and the whole thing is
it's just like this is like the Rift
John Riff. He's like making all
these excuses for why he's late and he's like, oh
my pet duck died
and he like is back in the kitchen
and he sees all these ducks hanging
from a rack, you know
and he's like you killed my
duck and like you're right Steve
then the emotions that he's pretending to have like wash over these other like the chef is like arguing with the restaurant manager like oh did you murder his pet oh my and they're like feeling bad for him and like you just want to blow your brains out watch yeah yeah i would like to see like the saffty's brother's version of this movie where like eric bogosin is breaking his hand because he tried to steal like a pot of spaghetti from him somewhere well listen i think you're totally on to something there buddy because if that were the case the saffty's
would at least have the common decency to shoot this fucker in the head at the end.
Yeah, you got to get there, though.
Even unrelated, like, Leguizama on the Safeties would be an interesting collab.
That actually would be fucking great.
Absolutely.
This is how I win.
I'm going to win now.
I'm going to be winning.
Blammo.
Yeah.
And, like, this whole gag takes it all the way up to, like, he tricks them into, like,
cooking him some of the duck, and he's, like, eating it, and why,
up keeping his job because the guy's like, hey, there's no time for eating now. You have
deliveries to make. And it's like, holy molly. And he went to with Jeffrey Jones's place.
And this is when the guy's like, oh, I thought, I meant that big, Jeffrey Jones said,
I meant that big hunk of a man, not this little shrimp. The guy's like, well, I don't know.
He's like really annoying. And he's into the Scottish mafia. You could use that against him or something.
sure and so the whole set up here is geoffrey jones is saying to john like was i'm like oh you know i'll give
you this like scholarship worth fifty thousand dollars uh you know you just have to sign this contract
the funniest thing is like you know geoffrey jones your whole you know motivation here is you
want to kidnap this guy bring him to an island and then hunt him for sport why with the
track to sign it makes no sense it's just for us to get a parlor scene just to pad this run time out yes
absolutely and i mean the only laugh i got was when the scottish mafia calls they call him he calls
them at the chinese restaurant or something and the guy who's playing the head scottish guy is like
hey if i don't have 50,000 dollars tomorrow i'm going to kill your family and that that's an
ending to this movie i could get behind like oh no all my pesting called the cause my whole family
get fucking murdered like because you know what dude fuck around get hurt yes yes and he his family
deserves to die he deserves to die but it's like if that if the scotch mafia was at all menacing
at like even a little maybe there would be you would sense the feet under the fire that like
okay this is a serious thing right but like you know because he is basically just live action
bugs bunny yeah you know that like there's going to be no
for it. I think the other things, just speaking of live action Bugs Bunny and, you know, the root of that Bugs Bunny character, I firmly believe that Leguizamo thought he was doing like a Groucho Marx level performance in this movie. Because that's like, so much of this movie feels like really bad Marks Brothers, right? Because that was like the genius of the Marx Brothers was they were just like a tornado of chaos, right? But it was like witty. Funny. There was. There was, there was.
there was breaks, there was timing, like that there was, this is just a fountain. It's just
constantly going. Groucho Marx almost always talks in jokes and they are good.
Yes, the double talk, triple talk, you know what I mean? All of the entendres, everything
like that. And this is just like groucho marks for idiots. But I mean, also, I think that the
Marx brothers always respected their straight men a little better than, you know, like it's just
like the steamrolling of everything doesn't allow for the straight man to.
And to be outraged.
They have straight men, you know, Zeppo, and like, and I forget the actress's name,
but she was in a lot of their films.
We need that here.
We need someone to take this serious.
Dude, you're totally right.
This movie needed a Margaret Dumond.
You're totally right.
And the funny thing is, like, because Jeffrey Jones is doing this dumb-ass cartoon,
he needs to be more of the straight man, but like, it's just wacky Jeffrey Jones' terrible accent.
Yeah, and I don't think he's, like, he, even Jeffrey Jones,
he doesn't feel like he's here much
No it's like he's just going through the motions
A bit I have to say
Which I mean which sucks
Because I mean like again like he's really funny in Beetleju
And he's such a great straight man in that
Like you know what I mean
Like he's just just him like just in a chair
I'm kind of laughing
Even I mean even in a piece of shit
Like stay tuned he's got energy
Like he's really bringing it
And like hunt for Red October
Like it's just he's so like
Oh yes I kill him a second
Oh god once coffee break huh guys
Yeah he's really
He's really worried because he's got like a sports car in the shop or something, and he's thinking about that.
I mean, dude, all of Ferris Bueller's day off is just him getting a huge dump taken on him, and it's awesome.
Yeah, and it's not even just like this is just latter day Jeffrey Jones.
I mean, he's not in it a ton, but is he's in Sleepy Hollow, is that right?
Yeah, he is.
Yeah, and he's fine.
He's good, Nat.
Yeah.
He's good up until, and I think this is probably of the same ilk, a movie called Who's Your Caddy.
Didn't I ever see that one?
Mr. Caddy was a post-troubles motion.
It was. It was the last one for a while.
It was him with Big Boy. Not good.
I did not see it.
He was in, I didn't watch it, but I saw that he was credited as being a part of that
Deadwood movie in some way that came out like two years ago or something.
Oh, really? Yeah, I didn't see it.
He's credited on it. I don't know if it was like a flashback or whatever.
He's also in a movie called 10.0 earthquake from 2014.
Yeah, that checks out.
Well, look, we got a money launder. Let's go.
make a movie with Jeffrey Jones
and launder the money
yeah that should be
that's a double tip to the FBI dude
uh so Jeffrey Jones is like
all right you know we've selected you
do this scholarship yes the horrendous
parlor scene of him like trying to get him
to sign this contract he finally does
because he brings up the you know 50k
and the he says that
you know to celebrate this contract signing
uh we're going to go
for a hunt on this island
that I own is his
whole thing. And then all of a sudden, and this was
what I realized, I was like,
ooh, it's a hunting humans
for sport movie. That could
be interesting. Sure. Maybe.
You know, but
my dream was almost instantly
squashed. And maybe the way
to make this funny or good is
to have a bunch of people he's hunting at once.
You know what I mean? Like, and especially
if you want to do like bad race comedy,
get like, I'm hunting a white guy, a black
guy, a Spanish guy, or whatever. You know what I mean?
And then go through those jokes.
You're totally right.
Bring the buddies, right?
You see, white guys get hunted like this.
And white guys get hunted like this.
It was the 90s, dude.
That was, you know, that was peak stand-up comedy, I think.
Definitely.
Yeah, I think this movie can't really decide
if it's for eight-year-olds or 15-year-olds a lot of time.
Because most of the humor is eight-year-old stuff,
but all of the stuff that's actually being engaged with,
only a 15-year-old or older would understand how terrible is
or funny I guess that is the genius of it Chris because the eight year old will grow up with the movie and come to even love it even further and the 15 year old will also pick up the eight year old comedy that's getting put down and possibly also appreciate you know that's probably why I didn't see it I was 14 and then it came out so it's just sort of like fuck dude you were right in the middle you dodged it aging out a lot of this humor is also just like bullshit like oh we're hunting deer goose isn't deer goose a funny word let's use it 27
seven times.
So that whole
exchange was like
what like the
Jeffrey Jones says
oh we're going to
hunt deer
but his
his dumb friend
says goose
and kind of
steps on his
line so they're like
oh dear goose
and that's almost
kind of like
maybe a
Mark's brothery
and a scene
if they actually
had performers
that could pull it off
right
and instead they
well because they
don't
it's like
you know
Jeffrey Jones
just has to say
oh yeah
a deer goose
it's a native
only
to my island. Yeah, that'll do.
So Leguizamo, you know,
gets to this, like, mansion on the island, and he's locked in a room,
and we meet this guy who we're told is Jeffrey Jones's son,
and the kid is putting on a really bad German accent,
and he's like, yeah, my name is Himmel.
And immediately, the John Leguizamo,
Heil Himmel Nazi salute gag.
It had to go somewhere.
you know what i mean you take that one off the board you got to do it before the movie yeah i mean
this is right after he was looking at the family library which includes you know the rise and fall
the third rike uh mine comf etc really really doubling down on this whole idea of nazis living
off the coast of miami i mean i was stunned how hard this movie leans into all the nazi stuff
like yeah talk about one terrible spice too many
your rancid movie gumbo
and they really push it
this whole scene is just kind of Nazi
jokes like the globe
with the United States of Germany
on it yes
guys we're being rude here we're forgetting
about all the gay jokes
oh I'm sorry I'm sorry well they're one and the same
with this kid because he's like
you know immediately the movie lets you know
he's gay ha ha ha ha ha and what do they
do with them immediately
is he's like
he's like a sexual predator
to Leguizamo. It's like putting
Leguizamo in a room
with like a caged bear
or something. Because this kid's
like attacking him immediately.
And you can't have like
the moral high ground against
these Nazis when you've been doing
race jokes for the first
hour of the movie. Not hour
because it's a short movie but at least
like 30, 40 minutes of just
race jokes and then suddenly the
Nazis are here?
Are you signing up?
it's stunning i mean because you get the nazi jokes and then like a while after you know you have like
that title wave of nazi related comedy uh they're in a synagogue for a fashion and you're just like
man you are covering all the bases intentionally and that doesn't make it better and it doesn't make
it fucking funny when we get to the synagogue eventually of course you know he does a jewish
impression, but there's a Scottish guy from the mafia who is also Jewish, and that's a joke.
Yep, it's like, there's not a single fucking Jew in Scotland, so how hilarious is this?
Like, it's, it continues to be dumb.
So Jeffrey Jones, like, comes into this office, and this is where we see, you know, Steve
already mentioned all the heads of, you know, different races of people, I guess, is the idea.
And this is, this is where I was like,
okay John Leguizambo
maybe a step too far here
maybe we've all like I actually
was like maybe I should shut this off
I mean
you would have been okay
but you would have missed
his reaction to
seeing all of these mounted heads on the wall
and it's like you know he's hunted all sorts
of other animals
you know so he's his whole thing is like
yeah I've hunted all the animals in the world
so I had to move to human beings
and John Leguizamo's response
is to just piss his pants
and you just see it
and he's like, oh boy, I piss my pants
isn't that hilarious? I'm dancing to my
piss for the second time in this movie.
He pisses all over this rug
to, I guess the fur rug of some
animal that he, that Jeffrey Jones
had killed when he was like nine or something.
Yeah, oh yeah, because he's like, oh yeah,
my rug, don't piece on my rug
it ties the room together. There's some
story essentially that like
the only thing that makes sense is like
Jeffrey Jones, when young, was like
Gerard Butler in 300, and he
was sent out into the wood
to beat a fucking wolf and bring it
back for his fucking Nazi father.
Well, that's the other thing, too. The son
also in a 300 way was like
Jeffrey Jones to
redo the way he was made.
He stuck his son in a room with a snake,
and that also, I guess, made the kid
gay, is the question. Yeah, I guess
now he's like obsessed with phallic imagery
or whatever. But this is also like
even a classic Hollywood
thing of like the Nazi villain
is coded gay so I'm glad we're
putting everything in this movie
also beyond that even he wants to
fuck these snakes
he absolutely is saying shit like I want to fuck
he's like getting erotic with the snakes
well and that's fucking terrible too
right because it's like it's the only gay character
in the movie and what does this
kid do well apparently he's into beastiality
also you know what I mean it's just like it's so
fucking they put it a button on it several times
like even when he's going through the books he's like mind
Comf and there's another Nazi book and then he's like, it's like several sex books.
Yes, quick and easy sex or something like that.
Yeah, and stuff like I'm like, okay, good.
Yeah, that's good.
That's good.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I do, we, he is also dressed in, we can only describe the ceremonial garb at this point.
I don't know what we're doing here.
It's, because like this is what your ancestors would dress as.
Don't you feel like a great hunter?
Also, you're half naked.
Nothing weird there, man.
But also, your ancestors didn't dress in Hugo Boss.
Exactly.
What the fuck is this shit with all your pockets?
Should you just like the goss?
Yeah, you should just fucking have a fur on and you're nude with a spear.
I don't want to see Jeffrey Jones nude with a spear.
I'm the new Tarzan.
Why is it a big deal?
Leonard Nimoy gets to take pictures of fat women.
I can't take my pictures.
Oh, Jeffrey.
So, yeah, he's dressed up.
No, I will not trade photos with you.
Hey, sorry, man.
And by the way, stop following me to these fucking photo exhibitions.
Wait, are you calling me from your house?
Prank caller, prank caller.
I've called you nine times.
Leonard, I've got these photos, price to move.
Where are those prego files, Leonard?
Sorry, I got to go.
Abe Froman, the sausage king of Chicago, is on the other line.
Oh, man, now this is what I want.
I want to see Jeffrey Jones hunting Leonard Nimoy and like trying, like, you know, seeing him at an arcade and it turns out to be a different old man.
Different old man with a bull cut.
Oh, man.
So, oh, so before we, before the hunt can get underway, we got to offend a couple more folks here because Leguizamo's like, oh, you know, you don't want to hunt me. I've got problems and just launches into this horrendous, like, I'm going to say the affliction and then act it out. And it's like, I've got a speech impediment. I've got dyslexia. I've got Tourette's. And he is just going for the gold with these impressions.
He does a really bad epilepsy fit a little bit before, and it's...
Oh, that's...
That is in the laundry list of this shit.
You're right.
He's like, yeah, you can't hunt me.
I've got epilepsy.
And he just starts, like, gyrating on the ground.
And again, I wish I was dead.
And he does, he gets like a little, what he called?
They're a Derringer-esque gun.
Oh, right.
I was kind of laughing when John Leggbizama took a shit.
I'm not made a stone.
I was like, all right, you know what?
I just, I mean, it's like, it's a fucking candle in the wilderness at that point.
It's something that I've laughed at before that I've seen.
I'm like, okay, that's sort of something.
It's true, Steve, because you can't even enjoy the credits because all the fucking, they repeat the scenes.
You don't even have the sweet silence of the credits to soothe you after this.
You have to keep listening to it.
What I love about this shit thing is like, it's like he's experiencing a shit for the first time in his life.
He's like, my stomach feels funky.
By the way, Pauly Shore could have also nailed this role.
Speaking of funky.
Get Polly Shore, I mean, to be one of the gut, like the extra people being hunted, right?
Absolutely.
Like, just like have it like it's street kids, it's delinquency, and he takes him to this island as like a retreat.
You got to frame it in some way.
I represent the epitome of the white race.
buddy
yes he's with
Jeffrey Jones
around here
like right before he takes
the shit is the first very
like Jim Carrey
it's like a combo
of like Ace Ventura and the mask
because he encounters
like a huge snake and he starts
fighting it and then like it eventually
gets to a point where he's like
you know he's got his foot over
part of it and he's holding it up and he's playing it
like an upright bass.
Yeah, this fucking toy that he's that is acting in this movie.
And what reminded me,
there's two times at least where this happens in this movie
and it's very much the mask is they speed up the frame rate.
So when he's fucking around this with this snake,
like they make it fast and like so it's goofier.
Right.
And then the same thing happens at the end when like the whole family is like being held hostage
on the dock or whatever.
But he's dancing.
Yes, when he's doing the dancing.
And it's all sped up.
They rewind it, too, multiple times.
It's a weird.
I mean, that's almost something.
Oh, we're playing with reality of anything.
I think they're trying to get to that 85-minute mark.
Yeah.
Every trick in the bag.
So are we.
So are we for show.
And, you know, folks at home, we apologize.
We've got other great content on Patreon this month.
No, you know what?
Let's just, you know, thank Sarah, everybody.
Fine, Sarah.
I think I have her address here somewhere.
And give her a present.
Thank you for calling in for listener requests.
It's not also Sarah's fault.
There's other folks that called this in.
That's true.
The fuck.
The balls were waited.
They wanted us to do this for a long time.
They wanted us to do this for a very long time.
It might have been better in the early days when we were completely fall down drunk
recording this show.
I should, you know, I've been trying not to drink during the week.
I really should have started drinking at like 3 o'clock this afternoon.
No, I pregame for this.
There's like a fucking football game here.
I feel so stupid talking about this movie sober.
Andrew doesn't drink during the week anymore.
I guess we've met the next pope.
Here he comes.
I see some smoke over the Vatican.
Steve, it's called clothes not fitting so well anymore.
Oh, well, so let's get back to what the people wanted us to talk about.
So he wipes his ass with a sock.
Yay!
Oh, but then Jeffrey Jones smells it.
And he can tell where he's going from the, from the, from the,
shit. Why, why is he a bloodhound
with shit? Did we mention
the rocket goes off?
Yeah, because, oh, so yes,
the gay son has
this phallic rocket launchers
sticking out of his back. It's a literal
red rocket. Yeah.
And Jeffrey Jones is like,
oh, there he is. And then the rocket
goes off and explodes, like, right in front
of Leguizamo, and they think he's
dead. So the kid's like, yeah, okay,
he's dead. Let's go home and watch Hulk
Hogan's heroes.
Do you get it yet?
Why would they like Hogan's heroes?
They wouldn't like Hogan's heroes.
It portrays the German military, perhaps a little foolishly.
Just a little bit, man.
Yeah, it's like, it's almost as if the person that wrote this in three days never saw a single episode of that.
What's Nazi?
Hogan's Heroes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like if it was a smarter movie, he.
he'd be like, yeah, okay, he's dead.
Let's go home and put on the VHS tape of Triumph of the Will.
Sure, that's something.
Definitely.
Or Olympia, this would be an Olympia house.
Yes, big time.
Oh, Sinnott's list.
Refin's just so good in this.
Just such a beautiful performance.
I believe I'll ask a nominate.
Let me watch the best parts on YouTube.
Yeah, he's got the clip reel.
It's just the Ray Fides cut.
Dude, that has to exist.
I'm not, I'm not Googling it,
but I know that exists somewhere.
I bet it does, too.
Oh man, the best seeds of Ray Fines, no reason.
Here you go, 8chan.
So they think he's dead. He goes home.
They both go home, right?
And, like, man, if this movie was like, oh,
yep, John Likwazamo is dead.
Like, they pull a fucking Janet Lee,
and you're, like, stuck with Jeffrey Jones
and, like, these two other dudes.
And then, like, maybe the buddies come and,
find him. It would be interesting. It's infinitely better because Leguizamo's character is not in this
movie anymore. That's not the case. I would wish another one of Jeffrey Jones' nemesis
showed up. Howard the duck. Get Howard back. Oh, that would be great. Steve, when you said
one of his nemesies, I thought you were going to say the American FBI. Is Jeffrey Jones the villain?
Isn't he of an alien in him that's the real villain? Isn't he friends with Howard? Yeah, but
that he, you know, I mean, he plays the villain.
There was no actual alien.
Correct yourself, Stephen.
I'm just letting you know.
Yeah, dude. I mean, you wonder why that happens, but then you remember Chris's Howard
the duck tattoo and it totally justifies him freaking out right now.
I showed it to you. I sent you many picks of it.
I know you did, buddy.
I can't believe it was on your genitalia.
Look, I, you know, I take dare seriously.
Southern's don't. I do.
I can't be just writing up on on the old.
old tackle box there.
Well, look, they said that the bill had to
kind of be my dick, so I had to
you know, aim it that way. No, it's
I mean, it's a good shape for it.
Thank you. Well, by all means, let's keep
talking about Chris's grotesque penis.
Well, there's a fucking Howard the Duck
tattoo on it. How else would you qualify that
penis? Decorated?
Adored. Not a military
veteran. See, my dick tattoo
is like a tasteful, like a, like a
Mark Rothko, where it's like sort of
partially one color and then another pink and green over orange canvas untitled 16 yeah definitely
untitled i call this the penis cathedral
oh man i would take a tour through the penis cathedral see what that's all about uh oh my lord so
oh so the pest like comes of course he's not dead because there is no god and uh he comes like
he scares the kid a little bit and the only detail here that's important is the kid is
like, oh, here's a
bottle of like
animal pheromone that only
makes male animals
super horny. My dad
used it on these on these animals
and he films it. And then it's like
the kid is just watching a videotape of
lions fucking and again
that bestiality thing comes out because he's
getting horned up watching these lions
bone. Yeah.
I think that's also part of the
the German stereotype of being
like weird into weird sex.
Yeah, the shyser video.
Yeah, the stuff that, you know, American culture, which is the bottom of the barrel.
Yeah, Jeffrey chose is a failed venture zoo hub.
Suhub.
I bought a website.
How about porn zoo?
I think that sounds better.
Porn zoo, I think.
It rolls off the tongue a little bit.
We're going to need multiples of these, Eric.
They're going to have to sell advertisements.
So we have to have a couple of them.
Don't you worry.
Yes, Chris.
We should definitely launch these.
No, Jeffrey, I will not go in on you with the zoo hub.
Also, how do you keep getting my number?
I've had to move twice, twice.
So the pest and Himmel, which is the kid, are like, you know what?
We both hate Jeffrey Jones.
Let's get out of here.
And they escape on a boat.
And they both get seasick and puke all over each other for a while.
That's a scene.
And then it's bird shits and Himmels.
lie and then he escapes
and basically swims to shore
and I was like oh the movie's
over oh shit I got like
like fucking 35 minutes left
of this piece of shit stunning
absolutely stunning you have a story
like this that like they leave
one place and go to an island
and then literally come back
to the first place for another third
of the film and it's also like there's so many
more like gags and disguises
and like stuff that belongs in the beginning of the
movie that happens towards the
end like his dinner with his dinner with joe morton shouldn't be here the weird dance club
sequence with the the lame white guys also should should be again that's like you just have
to put that scene earlier there's like a remnants of like this almost feels like a canon movie
that escaped the grid like so like because like like that see the specifically that see
the the the white guy scene versus with the music the i love rock and roll versus spank that
the number one hit
Rockin' the charts
Spank that
The first dude there
The guy who
Like they first start talking
The guy who's like driving the car
I believe I read correctly
Is the writer of this film
Yeah
And like
And like it's very like big
The colors are big for the first time
Like it's just
It's really weird
That all this was allowed
Still
I will say that that scene's almost
Kind of the best scene
In terms of like
I don't know
making fun of like lame white culture and like the i love rock and roll is kind of getting it there
i'm like i'm almost near smirking it's kind of funny but it just like like so many gags in this movie
has no uh it doesn't like push the story in any direction the fact that they like defeat these
guys the only thing that comes from it is they like steal their tickets to get into this private
party that the club
is having, right? But even that doesn't
make sense because then once they're inside
there's all these other people that
get in that definitely wouldn't get in, like
the Scottish mafia guys, Jeffrey
Jones and his fucking weird egg
clone, like they all get in
and I'm like then why did we have to have the dance
off with the guys out front
if in fact it is just easy to sneak into
this club without an invitation? Because their
whole motivation is like
we defeated them to get the access to the
club and why are they
even there to hide they're just trying to hide like oh my god let's let's hide so first they
try to hide at joe morton's house we talked about that scene ad nauseum it goes on a long time
but geoffrey jones shows up with a dart gun and knocks out that entire family which is pretty
this is actually kind of the best scene in the movie and then when his friend tries to like break
into the house to help him out he gets instantly tranked yes this is after his penis catches on
fire. We can't forget
that. There's a tracking device
in his penis and like it starts
to overheat I suppose.
Yes. Because
he's eating
it's a whole thing
but like the mother, the mother
of the girlfriend is like, oh, we've
made Cuban food for dinner and
he goes into a whole thing
about like why Cuban
food he calls her a stupid bitch
like this whole thing
and then like so they're
funny movie they're eating the meal and then like the guy the little egg guy is like oh yeah oh
something's happening it looks like the tracking devices overheating and it goes back to legozamo
who's been eating this Cuban food and he's like sweating profusely and then like smoke just starts
emanating from his crotch and he's screaming he gets naked in front of these people
Martin has the best comedy lines
of this scene. Like it's like, oh, he's on
drugs. And then when like
Leguizama's on the floor
dragging his balls and dick on the ground
Like a dog. Dog with an itchy asshole.
He says, that boy has syphilis.
Syphilis of the ass.
So, yeah,
Jeffrey Jones assassinations his entire
family. It's
kind of funny, I guess.
He also winds up tranking his own
son, too.
Yes.
I think the only, the great part
of this whole scene, though, is
Jeffrey Jones hits
the pest in the face with the butt of a
rifle, and it's a real
moment of like the pest getting hurt,
and I was like, ooh, do it again.
Oh, God, oh, hit him again.
Ooh, do it. Oh, do it.
But instead he jumps out of window, and you get
a look at this stunt double, this John Ligizamo
stunt double. Was it the guy who
does the stuff for McCullochell, or
I was going to say,
say he looks exactly like Charles Bronson
I think before he jumps out he says you can't hit me
you're oh no this is like right right after
he shoots everyone in the family
John Linguizamo says you can't hit me because
you're just a giant big sucker
butt
who nailed him pest
sucker sucker sucker
how does anybody come back from that
you don't know right yeah you just have to give up after that
right devastating they were I don't know
if you can come back from being
in the film The Pest, I guess
anything is possible.
Tim, you've got to put me in Sleepy Hollow.
I did this movie The Pest.
Okay, man,
but stop asking me to come over
and trade photos.
It would be funny if John Liguizamo
actually saw the movie and he was the one
who was pressuring TriStar to pull it from theaters.
Dude, I bet.
He's like, my reputation cannot survive
this. Please get rid of it. Oh, fuck.
It's going to kill me. Oh, it's going to kill me.
There's a weird thing here which also makes absolutely no sense if you think about it, right?
So big picture, Jeffrey Jones and this egg clone and his son are all in Miami trying to hunt him down, right?
Because, again, he still wants to trank him, take him back to the island, murder him, and cut his head off, right?
That is still the goal of Jeffrey Jones.
Yet for whatever reason, Jeffrey Jones's little egg assistant calls, or no, Jeffrey Jones does, calls up Angus.
the the Scottish mafia guy from the car phone and he's like hey by the way the pest is going to run off with all your money better go get him and I'm like well why would you do that if they kill him because of the money and you're ratting him out it defeats the purpose of you coming here to take him back to the island to murder him to get the head but if he gets loose his Nazi reputation is spoiled what is you're going to do after that and also you know Hitler killed so many people making phone calls so
Maybe it counts for Jeffrey Jones.
I think he put it on.
He put a line through the four with that one.
There is also a weird thing in, like, a lot of Jeffrey Jones lines where he's like, you know,
once I get the pest and get his head on my wall, I'm going back to the Rhineland.
Like, there's this whole thing where he's going to, like, escape America and flee back to Germany.
And I'm like, that's, again, a bad joke because they don't want you.
Like, come on.
That whole thing of like the Nazi's going to return back to his home base, Germany, isn't that funny?
I mean, it's not funny.
And it wouldn't even be funny if they said this, but like Brazil or something would be something.
Because if you go, you flee to Germany, you're just going to run into a U.S. military base.
That's true.
Let's just get you all over again.
Yeah, get back there for a craftwork reunion concert.
Like, what are you doing back in Germany?
Chris Cabin, I went to a craftwork reunion concert in New York City.
it was awesome. I bet. Oh, man,
that's pretty cool. We're fucking concerts, man.
I've never done it, sadly.
They had 3D glasses and everything.
I'm jealous. That's kind of cool.
Fuck, that sounds really cool.
So, again, we've got to go back
to my notes, guys. I've got to read you another thing for
verbatim here.
Holy moly, this synagogue scene.
Yes.
Oh, the joke is like, where will they
never look? These Nazis.
Yep. And the idea is they go to a
synagogue. And, like, the idea
is John Legothama, if you're trying to hide, don't go on the dais, go in the back.
It is the dumbest move you could make, Pest.
Also, not every Jewish person is doing the fucking Hussedem curly hair and the outfit, man.
Like, you don't have to be part of the orthodoxy here.
You know what I mean?
Like, you could just sit in a pew and shut your fucking mouth.
But that's a thing.
To even, like, try to bring logic to it is insane, because the whole point is that every time he has to
try to trick somebody. The whole point
of every scene is that he has to get it
over on somebody, even though he's the
stupidest, most annoying person on the
earth. I mean, and you're totally right,
Chris, and I am the fool
for looking in, you know, for all these
plot holes in a film like the past, but like
really, man, it's the only
thing keeping my fucking brain together
thinking about this movie.
Like, he starts the seat,
like him and
tubby, what, Chubby is his name?
Yes, Chubby is Ari Spears. One of the two.
nicknames here.
They come out, like Steve said,
on the day is packed house,
by the way,
there's a mitzvah going on,
and he announces himself
to the room by screaming,
hello,
Jews.
Thank you, bugs.
I would just love if there was, like,
you know,
like the one of nine people
that saw this in theater
was just losing his mind.
Oh, there had to be,
like, at least one of those dudes
was knee slapping, right?
Oh, yeah.
Just because,
just imagine seeing the pest in theaters,
right into the We Hit Movie's mailbag
if you saw the Pest in Theatres.
Yeah, I want to know
what your mental state was like at that point
what was going on in your life, what troubles were happening.
What did your parents think?
Even my criminal delinquent father
didn't fucking bother to
pilfer this movie from fucking Columbia
house. Because he had taste. Didn't even bother.
He's like,
I will
I will go to jail for
Rambo 2 on VHS.
I will go
to jail for the Goonies on VHS.
I will not do time for the past.
Absolutely not.
Even that Robocop 3.
I know.
I know it's not the same.
It's not the same with them there.
But yes,
I will even go to jail for that.
I would have killed to watch Robocop 3 today.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Oh, that's something.
Maybe we should do that as an episode.
We have supposed to do twice in fucking Detroit.
We still might, ladies and gentlemen,
I mean.
I forgot that that shit was supposed to exist.
You know what?
Before the calendar strikes, the clock strikes midnight on this year, maybe we will have gone to Detroit to do that show, but we'll see.
Maybe. Maybe not. You're just going to, you know, follow us on Twitter at WHM podcast for tour updates, if ever.
That's the best way to stay up to the minute with what we're doing, whether I'm high taking pictures of my TV or we're announcing new tour dates.
That's where to find us, man, on Twitter.
You got to check out the TV picks. We're kind of all getting into it.
These days, it's excellent.
Love a good TV pick session, man.
Absolutely.
How else will people know what I'm watching?
The TV's the only person I've ever talked to this entire year, face to face.
Jeffrey, I do not want picks of your TV either.
What on earth?
But Lenny, look what I was watching.
It's kind of funny, right?
Because I was in Stay tuned.
Do you get it, Leonard?
I am not familiar with the film, no.
You know, we're not so different, you and I.
We're both perverts of different kinds.
You are a legend for being part of the show Star Trek.
I was once kicked out of a Star Trek audition.
You are a pervert.
I am a criminal pervert.
Let me be clear here.
I just appreciate people of different sizes.
You appreciate children and as I can understand it, animals now too.
I'm looking really quickly to see if he maybe guessed it on any Star Trek because it seems like a thing where he could have been on next geng here.
Yeah, no, because he had some heat in the 80s. He wouldn't have been on next gen. You know, Amadeus.
You know what he did though is in stay tuned. He does a Star Trek rip. That's right.
maybe that's what I'm thinking of Christ all right he had the heat in the 80s that he had a lot of heat in the late 90s
um not the good kind it was that house guest that did it for me dude look at his uh his 1999 was pretty
big ravenous sleepy hollow and stewart little oh man is so good yeah oh you know what he's
definitely in a total stay tuned heartbreakers from 2001 with a hackman sigourney
Weaver and Jennifer
Leeuitt there.
Saw that in the theaters.
Never saw it actually.
It sucks.
My mother has seen that movie
more than any other movie
that's ever existed.
Wow.
What?
Heartbreakers?
Get out of town.
She loves that movie.
I don't know why,
but I've watched that movie
with her at least four times.
I'm curious who's,
if your mom has seen,
Heartbreakers more than my mom
has seen Twister,
because that is something.
I don't know.
She really thinks Gene Hackman is hilarious coughing.
And I'm wondering if she saw more than my mom saw
cruising.
You know what? I just let's talk about what our
moms are into these days.
My mom, well, talking about like this time period
of this movie came out, and I think she still
kind of does, but my mom, big Harrison Ford fan.
Oh. A lot of VHS tapes of Harrison Ford
in the house, including random hearts.
Nice.
Yeah, we had six days, seven nights on DVD.
I just watched Frantic recently. Pretty good.
Pretty good. Frantic fucking rules, man.
good choice for you not good choice for us the past yeah uh yeah so whatever he offends a
whole synagogue full of people you go to the dance club next we talked about the white guys we should
talk about that it's like oh it's a karaoke dance club which also it wouldn't be exclusive
of this fucking doing karaoke yeah i don't get what's going on here because like the club it's
like club paris or something like that and yeah then all of a sudden there's just this dumbass
karaoke lounge inside it also whatever set this is it's it's clearly not a club this is like someone's
nice house somewhere like didn't you guys get a very like domestic vibe from this club
until you get to the carry the karaoke room it's a different thing but like when they're sneaking
around he's like sneaking on the staircase and he sees the two scottish guys and everything i was like
this just looks like someone's big drug dealer i was not paying attention at that time
excellent no you know there is a great thing though there's when they watch
right into the club. There's an extra that walks
by them. Hilariously
huge, like big tall Johnny Swade
haircut. Oh, wow. Maybe it could have
been Brad Pitt. I will say
with the Jim Carrey stuff,
this does definitely have the club from
the mask feel.
But it's, like you say, it's
the, it's karaoke. And like, it seems
like it's like, like, you have
to get, like, it's a speakeasy
karaoke, like it's a secret place
that you have to get into. Right.
Yeah, that's a good call. I don't know what this is
You know what? The Masters would not stand for this.
No, they're not going to take anybody that comes out of this kind of place. I'm sorry. They're just not going to look at you.
Back to the karaoke masters here and there was a big disaster actually, some fraudulent participation where we are loathe to report to you here.
But turns out that Japanese businessman that was performing in the karaoke masters was actually John Leguizama.
Oh, yes, he's going to be banned from the Masters for All Time for Asian face, which, um, let it be, let it be known that if there is an actual uny wasabi that would like to compete that they are welcome to.
And this, this, this, this person was not uni wasabi.
Dude, uni wasabi can we just already.
That, no, that being said, though, that being said, I've never heard a better Jeremy.
he has really spoken tonight despite being a fraudulent entry under the name uni wasabi i think
we got to give him a few few points there uh he's still banned for life
um Jeffrey jones is a line that's like I had the pleasure of hunting uni wasabi
and you are no uni wasabi because we're going to do a Lloyd Benson fucking joke right now
oh wow you're right I do love so you do
does a bad karaoke thing and it's a bad everything and he's like he's dressed like a japanese guy's got silly glasses and my favorite part is he throws the uh the pheromone on to geoffrey jones and all these dudes start to hump him and it's just like if this movie ends with geoffrey jones getting fuck to death at a dance club two stars two stars yeah oh one and a half man it's still the pet
yeah this is like John Ligazmo in a boat with a big cigar
yeah he just got fucked to death all right anyways
well that's the movie good night everybody
see you for the past two
there was nothing left
okay he was fucked to dust
okay three stars
if I get that scene specifically
then I get three stars
all right yeah it has that little button on the end of it
sure oh my god
So, like, while the Fairmone's joke is playing for no one, this dude, Angus nabs the pest.
And they throw him into the, it's all three of the guys now.
He throws them all into the car.
And he's like, all right, look, I'll have your money tomorrow.
And to put up collateral, eh, here's Freddie Rodriguez.
He's not in this movie anyway.
I mean, like, sacrifices his friend to the mafia.
That's kind of shitty.
No, look, you're going to be in Carey way soon anyway.
Don't worry about it.
Wasn't that the same year as this?
I think these were both 97.
I thought that was 98, but I might be wrong.
Ooh, I think you might be right, actually.
Never mind.
But yeah, so it's right around the corner.
And the funny thing is, when you think about what Freddie Rodriguez is doing in that movie,
I think it's kind of a little bit of a pest impression.
Yeah, it's just like very similar.
This is obviously his thing.
It's like high energy, which he changed later.
Like, I'm crazy, wacky, whoopadoo, kind of a dude.
Well, yeah, you can six feet under, and you can't do that.
It's six feet under.
well you could
but it wouldn't work
that's a show
I have absolutely no desire to rewatch
ever in my life
yeah you don't really do you too
I bet it wouldn't hold up either
it would feel like very late 90s
early odds like prestige television
but bad
I have found that there is no good
in going back to look at what Alan Ball
has done
American Beauty
it didn't turn out great
going back to that
it didn't turn out great
going back to six feet under
when I tried
and, uh, what is, isn't he true blood as well?
True blood was him.
I'm not going back to that period, so fuck you.
I guarantee you it's not worth it.
Although, aren't they like rebooting it or something I read?
Who's going to say sooky now?
Suck it.
That's all I know about the show.
Sucker.
I checked out of that show.
I watched it for a while, actually, but I checked out when they were like, oh, Anna Pachwin,
you're like a magical fairy person and I was like, good night.
this movie sort of ends like the usual suspect on a boat like it's not like I don't know
because like his whatever whatever his family gets kidnapped by Jeffrey Jones after
he's not fucked to death he's just fucked to completion and um he kidnapped his whole
family I'm gonna kill your whole family again I'm kind of laughing uh you got to come here
and save them or offer your own life right in aries spears wear camouflage which is like
white black camouflage which was the style at the time by the
it's a weird cartoon thing too because it's like where did they get those clothes when uh when they
get on the boat and he and ari spears like sneak into one area there's like a bunch of weapons
everywhere and they're like looking at all these cool you know weapons and he's like now we now it's
our time to shine chubs or whatever and then there's a there's a abysmal don't ask don't tell
joke right here where like chubby's like hey don't ask don't tell joke right here where like chubby's like hey don't
hell like I think about them using the weapons
and then the pest is like
wait what did you say
and he's like
uh never mind and he's like yeah
that's what I thought and I'm like
you know maybe
this movie could have been 84
maybe this could have been a short
an HBO special short
yeah exactly
20 minutes and I'm out
so yeah
it's a boat they're inside a boat
Steve, but it also, I don't know if we're filming
on the inside of a boat because it definitely
also looks like your standard
1990s Terminator factory.
Yes, for sure.
And when does he get a machine, so he gets a machine gun
and he's like, I've got you now
kind of a thing, right?
There is a, I've got, I need.
Yeah, a defeated, I've got you now.
I need teepee for my bunghole.
Oh, right.
There's like this whole prank because he's got like
the walkie-talkie in different positions around
the Terminator factory boat.
it's multiple times
this is the last time it happens but there is
a time earlier in the film
we're definitely doing Beavis and Butthead
impressions outside the club they do the Beavis and Butthead
laughs yes that's what it is
and then yeah this is him just doing Beavis
doing a Cornholio joke
you know what leave that to the pros
fellas Bugs Bunny not Beavis and Butthead
don't get your cartoons mixed up too
totally dude pick one cartoon motif and stick
to it and this is where we really get the Bugs Bunny because
he you know he's walking around the ship
like Elmer Fudd
and suddenly
John Leggozama's
walking behind him
like toying with him
he puts his gun
he puts a gun down a pipe
and it comes up
and shoots it in his ass
he throws a little black
circle on the wall
and a fucking train
runs through it and hits him
everybody gets he
yes exactly
so yeah
he gets the drop
on Jeffrey Jones
right here
And then Jeffrey Jones, like the cheapest garbage thing, right?
He's like, you know, oh, well, actually, Pest, you don't have the drop on me
because I definitely poisoned you a while back and you have four seconds to live.
And this is where he does the, if I was poison, can I do this?
And it starts all the like mask dancing and like this family, this family is sitting
behind him watching him do this like, man, I should have just stuck to community theater.
I know. They were filming this movie in Miami. I wanted to give it a shot, be in a motion picture. And now I'm sitting at a cold dock at 2.30 in the morning watching John Leguizamo dance. God damn it. And Leonard Nimoy won't talk to me anymore because I worked with Jeffrey Jones. Oh, wait. I was about to star in this community theater production of Our Town in Miami. But what was that? You associated with Jeffrey Jones in a motion picture, you say. Good day.
we are
the Mozart
Solieri of sleazy
pictures
get that
perverted
shudderbug
out of my
life
I would love
to work
with you
Matthew Broderick
but I have
a steadfast
rule
with Jeffrey Johns
they cannot
be trusted
he's right
he's right
he's right
he's right
yeah
so like
he doesn't get
poisoned
like Jeffrey Jones, like, well, I'm not going to give you the money anyway. So goodbye. And it's like,
all right, that could be the end of the movie. Yeah, that'd be nice. Dude, right here,
verbatim, let's get back to the not pad. How is this movie not over? And it's because Jeffrey
Jones has to have a scene where he goes to like this bank and he's going to empty out like the safe
deposit box because he is still planning on fleeing to Germany. Just like it's side man. Yes,
exactly this is what gave me the thought and also like what the fuck is with that that moment there because like didn't you want the head wasn't that kind of the whole fucking point i think at this point dude he's like you know what screw this it is no human head hunting is worth this trouble i will try again in a year or something
um because also i think he's probably thinking to himself like well gee you know if i get the pest now and i mount his head on my wall
then I'm just reminded
of the antics
that this man put me through
I don't want that
and again his reputation
to the Nazi community
is just shot after this
I mean
he's been made fun of
quite publicly
anybody catches the line reading
of this bank teller
that he talks to
because he's like
he's like
you know oh I need to see
Lockbox 428 or like
whatever it is
there's just this actress
who's like
of course
Mr. Jack, the guard will let you
in. It's like, the delivery is like
if you watched it typed out
on like a tweet or something, it would be when
people do like uppercase, lowercase,
uppercase, lowercase, like just like a
wacky ass terrible
line delivery that you just
really should have been like, you know what, just
you pretty much got it, but just let's do it one more time
just for safety. And they didn't
and then this is the line reading this
poor woman has. Like it's awful.
And his lockbox
is empty. And then
It's because the pest has portrayed the German ambassador and gets him arrested.
Like what is even this?
Did the German ambassador to the United States be in Miami that afternoon?
And he says something, something like he's like pick up the phone.
He's like taunting him.
He's like, and you know what?
There's a lot more than $50,000 in there.
And now I'm rich.
And I'm like, good.
So I can never see you again.
Please go away.
I mean, he looks like, I mean, he looks like his character from Moulin Rouge.
He does, yeah, he does.
For some reason, I don't get this.
It's the mustache, dude.
I think that's exactly what it is.
No, this screams German to me.
It definitely does.
Yeah, sure.
He's also walking on his knees at the end of this movie.
But yeah, he gets in, you know, Chubby's Jeep and they all drive off.
Of course, his lady friend is there.
Malaria, the friend, I think, is also there.
Is there a babe for every dude at the end here?
I couldn't really figure out who was cramming into this car.
No, I think it's just them.
Oh, no, it's the three friends.
It's Pest, Freddie Rodriguez's character, Chubby, the lady friend,
just the one, his girlfriend, pest girlfriend,
because then the guy driving the car is Himmel.
Himmell's like, oh, cool, because Himmel kind of has an awakening in Miami, right?
Because he's like, oh, look, like, I'm here.
here like in Miami. I'm not under the thumb of my father. I can be gay. This is great. So the end of
the movie is Himmel, you know, dressed like it. He's living his best life dressed as like a
Miami Beachbum kind of guy and not like his Nazi costume anymore. I think he's got a parrot
Oakley's on. He's doing great. That's good. I miss that at the end of this movie. So did I.
It's kind of like the what like I saw that and was like, all right, cool. That guy now gets to
live out his days being a happy gay kid in Miami
and not with his Nazi father anymore. So that's the only good
thing to come of this movie like narratively from the
characters. It's really a humble story. He's the character that
changes Eric. Yeah. I mean he's the one that's been
literally held hostage his entire life. The pest has been
fucking farting on everyone he sees.
Speaking of farting, the movie closes
just as it opened. We get back to the shower singing
and he's just farting and doing
Dracula and doing the Chinese
dance. Yes. It's a straight
repeat. Yes. It's the same thing.
It's the same footage, right? It's just
the same. They just dumped it at the end of it.
God. Damn it.
Couldn't just give me like, it's just
blackness and white text. That's all
I wanted after this fucking assault.
Like, just, it's over.
How at this point,
like you've had him doing this garbage
Bugs Bunny Groucho
thing this whole time. How do you not
really just put the final nail in the coffin
and have him do with that's all folks
yeah why not
I mean like come on they could have
you know it leans into it heavily
but if they leaned into it even more
it would make more sense
you know so
I'm not gonna ask you if you would recommend
this movie I like what a fucking
pointless thing to say
I will give you a little
a tidbit how I watch movies
is
ooh juicy I will
rent like when something is really ranted and I can see it coming because you know I rent a lot of
movies from either from Amazon from most part for this show because it's just easier I will rent
from voodoo so this doesn't fuck up my uh my algorithm it's like you know it's kind of like it's
almost like a private browsing tab kind of just to let you know that's really great dude
I should do that because I totally fucked up my Apple algorithm putting this movie in there
You need little places to stash.
Like, I mean, Lord knows that the good folks at Voodoo think of me, but I don't care.
He's just another one of our damned souls here at Vulu.
Oh, no, fuck, Voodoo.
I think they're a Walmart company.
They are.
I remember what I saw Voodo.
I was like, oh, cool.
Finally, I don't have to give money to fucking Amazon.
And it's like, oh, it's Walmart.
That sucks, too.
Anyways, no thank you for me.
That's a no.
This is a blight.
You know, I'm going to call something here really quick.
I wouldn't be shocked if I leave this world
and John Legu Zama has an Oscar
and I just I can see him like being a villain or something
or doing some drama that's really good
because I think he's a very good actor
and has a real presence
and this is not that
and he should have never done this movie
and it's a blight
Yeah I mean I think you're right
because that's the thing that's like really difficult
about this movie right?
It's like I've known about it for years
while also liking John Leguizamo for years
and I've sort of known that I don't want to, like, tarnish my like of John Leguizamo
for watching this movie that I have successfully avoided right up until yesterday evening.
And I think he's great.
I think he's a great actor.
I do think he's funny.
Like, obviously, he can do comedy.
I do think he's a good dramatic actor.
And I want to just point out, I feel like what I, we should do maybe, is, like, say a nice John Leguizamo performance.
Right?
So him as Jacob Vasquez in Waco, he's great.
I think he's really great on that show, honestly.
It's a good dramatic performance.
It's a small role, but him and John Wick, I think is good.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's another one.
I mean, I really do.
Like, I think he's fun.
I think he can deliver a line.
It's this kind of humor.
I just don't think he was made out for.
I think it was an attempt to make bigger what his one man shows in.
It just, it wasn't working on this or house a buggin.
And like, I do.
I love him.
Benny Blanco and Carlito's way.
He's so fucking good.
He's in this movie from 92, 93 called Hang with the Homeboys.
It's a little hard to find, but it's very good if you can find it.
He's, yeah, he's been great for a while.
I just can't believe that you guys have never seen this movie because I, this is not even a joke.
Literally, whenever you say John Leguizamo, I think of this movie.
I saw this movie as a kid.
This informed everything I know about John Leguizamo.
so I was never like I never you know sought out his movies but when I did see him and stuff
he I did see that he was good but when I think John Leggo Zambo I think the past and I have
since the late 90s that's a bummer man I mean how about this dude can you switch that over to like
super Mario brothers I guess I guess I think it's just like this was burned into my mind as a child
because it's so awful.
I mean, the poster certainly is.
I mean, I have seen this poster for years,
literally decades at this point,
and just been like every time like, nope, until today.
So thank you for writing in.
Was it Sarah?
It's Sarah from New Jersey.
Thank you.
Sarah from Jersey.
Thank you for, you know what, Sarah?
You help me get a title off my bucket list here.
And in this instance, I mean, bucket list as in I watch the film,
and now I wish I kicked the bucket.
great episodes, you know, previously on our catalog here on the free feed. And the,
the Patreon feed this month, we're going to have good fellows. I promise it'll be a good
episode. Absolutely. Um, yeah, this is, this is the first of, uh, what do we say? There's five
Tuesdays in, uh, in this month of March. So we got a lot of stuff coming down the pike.
Yes, Eric mentioned our WLM episode on, on our Patreon about Martin Scorsese's good
fellas um and then of course you requested nexus episodes what did we draw there for uh animation
damnation steve we drew another transformers episode uh something right something called uh carnage in
c minor so there's a musical transformer also we should say uh what we didn't draw for our uh listen
request month was our new ten dollar tier the walsh uh we will have another episode of melro 210
but not only that we will have the snider sessions which is
going to be somehow our reaction
to the Zach Snyder cut of Justice League
it's going to be more than one episode
FYI yes yes
unsure what it's going to look like
but yes Justice League the Snyder sessions
a we hate movie special presentation
coming to this Patreon tier
the Walsh sometime later this month
because the thing air is what the 18
yeah it'll be like you know it's got to give us some time
there guys but it'll be in the month of March for sure
and I'm going to rewatch the original Justice
I'm going to put myself through that just to
compare and contrast. So, yeah, it's going to be
worth it for my torture at least.
You're a little pain pig.
I am indeed.
If you folks at home want to do something similar,
of course, we do have the Justice League commentary
on our Patreon that you could sync up and rewatch to that
theatrical cut.
So if you're like a pain pig, but
you like to laugh.
From comic, I'll be.
Totally. But yes,
that is the pest from 97,
directed by Paul Miller, go back to award shows forever.
I think this is the only future film he's directed.
He's still alive. He's still directing the CMAs and all that horse shit.
This was the only movie.
Not surprising.
But Steve Zadak, as always here on We Hate Movies, the show rolls on next week, a brand new episode.
Also, requested by one of our listeners.
So what will we be talking about then?
The shit keeps rolling downhill.
It's Warriors of Virtue.
this is the kangaroo fighter
I never saw this but it has to be better
I'm kind of into it
I mean at least it's got like a concept that I can sink my teeth into a little bit
they just always I mean I haven't seen it but they always kind of just appeared to be like
the ninja turtles but they were kangaroos
Teenage mutant kangaroos
That's it that's all it is
I'm totally down for that and I think Eric you just reminded me too
I'm saying it for me personally and you know
you guys can feel however you want but now welcome to the top of the shelf the pest this is i believe
the worst film i've watched for this show i would co-sign that because at least ultraviolet which
we had a lot of trouble with one request month ago that at least had some visual
stimuli of some kind it's just like one it's a series of bad race jokes and i i'll close sign as well
I think. Yeah, yeah. Go send that.
Ooh, excellent. Nice. So we're
all in agreement. This is the fucking worst thing
ever. Excellent work, everybody.
Oh, boy. Well, that is it. That's the pest.
Now we've got to go prep for next week's
debauchery. So until next
week, we're talking about Warriors
of Virtue. I'm Andrew Juppin.
Stephen Sadek. Eric Siski.
Chris Gavin. Take it easy.
That was a hit gum podcast.
