This week on the program, evidence that this medium could die at any moment.
It's Zookeeper. I'm Andrew Jupin. Talking Dead Giraff, Stephen Seda.
Eric Siska.
Hey, Chris Cabin.
And we hate movies.
Hello everyone. Welcome to We Hate Movies. Thank you for tuning in, as always. This is a movie podcast where we talk about bad movies, good movies, middle of the road movies, and whatever kind of style they are.
we make fun of them this week
the first one this is the first
this is the first one it's the first one
it's zookeeper from 2011
directed by Frank Karachi
and this is about Chris Cabin right because
your DVD collection right you're the
zookeeper I keep I have a talking
a robocop
it just opens its mouth it sounds like
Sylvester Stallone yeah but you got
you got the movie zoo the documentary
oh yes so many of them he's got so many
copies they're just filling up my room
There's like, you know, there's movies like, like, the last blockbuster and like that doc, you know.
There's just to be a doc about you, Chris, trying to collect all the copies of zoo on DVD just to get it off the streets.
Yes.
I go on eBay just night after night.
I start going pie crazy.
Absolutely.
I think it'll be great.
You can't go to sleep.
Put a drill in my head.
It sounds nice.
I like all this.
Get to Jewish mysticism as well.
Yeah.
But imagine if that drill was a horse's cock going into your skull.
Look, it turns out the Jewish mystics, they have 20 copies of zoo on the movie.
I don't know how it happened.
Oh, hey.
So this is interesting because as someone pointed out on the internet.
Oh, shit.
It's on the internet?
We'd say 10 years ago, probably now a little over 10 years ago, we sort of talked about this movie.
Yes.
episode 19 the best of the worst of summer 2011
yes the episode I drank an entire bottle of wine
just uncorked and chugged
don't worry and nobody couldn't tell
no one no one could tell
back then you know it was like you're doing a podcast in 2011
who's gonna it's like you know a tree falling down in the woods
that's recorded also back of the day we had nothing but time
we're like I'll do a bunch of movie roundup
yeah yeah
Roundup.
It was also like a bunch of us had not seen it.
I think, Chris, you were the only one that had seen it.
I saw it.
I saw it in theater.
Why the fuck did you contribute to the box office?
Yeah, I think because it was a thing that me
per chance to spy a lady.
No, well, me and my wife were doing this for a little while.
It was like bad date thing where you'd watch a bad movie and go to a bad restaurant right
after.
And this is before you could just piss away money.
Did you fight verbally?
Also.
That's too much of a bad movie.
This is more just sort of like a bad aesthetic.
Dating you. It was just bad dates.
When you're dating Steve Saneck, every date's a bad date.
Welcome back to John Reese Davies, bad dates.
See, I do love that idea for a fake dating show with John Reese Davies.
We could do it.
But no, yeah, I think we did even go to Fridays before or after it.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Honey, we should go to a cheap restaurant for the bad dateness.
The badness of it.
Well, no, that's the problem with New.
this is this is the scam
oh here we go
New York City
if you go to
a DJ Fridays
you'll fuck
it's still
it's really expensive
yeah and all those
all those like big
dumbass chains
that when they plop a location
in Manhattan
all the time
all of the like
specials you see
on the commercials
are not applicable
in them restaurants
so all these people
come in from out of town
and it's like
oh yeah
I love my
you know my unlimited
salad and breadsticks
guess what motherfucker
not at that time square
time square
whatever the fuck. So it's a limited.
I've got a really cool tall
like Sam Adams or some horse shit.
Oh, that's $24.
Big of fucking Manhattan. Olive Garden.
That was the TGI Friday's
right at like 49th. That was there forever.
A grilled chicken sandwich and fries,
$35 easily.
That might still be there. I think it was
built as the largest TGI Fridays
because it's like three stories.
The one on Fifth Avenue? Yeah.
The one you have to walk on. Oh, no. There's one of Broadway
in 49th.
Yes. That's one. That one.
The one on Fifth Avenue was the one,
it was also like somewhere in Midtown where like
a bunch of my family came in one time
and they were like, oh look, TGI Fridays.
And I was like, kill me dead in the street.
And we fucking went in.
And the woman was like, oh,
well, it's the lunch rush.
It'll be a two hour wait.
And I had two,
two family members go, that's totally fine.
And I was like, you've got to be fucking kidding me.
That is mental. I think there might be a Fifth Avenue one as well
now that you're,
now that you're talking about.
But, I mean, now that we're talking
with T.J. Fred is this much.
We still haven't even nearly talked
as much about it as the film
Zoopkeeper does.
Oh, my God. Oh, boy.
So this movie, yeah, sure.
It is about a zookeeper
played by Happy Madison
also ran Kevin James.
And this is what this was, right?
This is part of that, like,
look, the Sandman can't star in all these things.
Exactly.
The scraps for the babies.
Some of the drunk things
you wrote on paper
have to go to Kevin James instead of
to Adam. Occasionally. Just occasionally.
You just throw chicken feed out into the
into the yard and either Rob Schneider
Kevin James or God forbid David Spade gets at it.
Oh man. Yeah, that's when you know you're really
in trouble. Or Nick Swanson, yikes.
Grandma's boy himself? No, he's not. Or wasn't he at least in
Grandma's Boys? Alan Covert. It's covert.
It's a covert. Like that's the thing
is they tried with Swartson. They'll give them all a shot
just to see, can you do it?
Swartson's flamed out spectacularly.
At least Grandma's boy has something of a following.
There's some humor there.
I remember it being kind of funny back in the day, but this movie's Zookeeper.
No.
So he's a zookeeper.
Hey, Allison, I'm going to see Zookeeper.
Yeah, we're still roommates in 2011.
Hey, Allison, you want to have a bad date and go see Zookeeper?
I'm going to take her on Friday.
My friend Steve Sadegh is looking for a date.
Oh, my God.
So Vastos Stallone, Alton.
But it was the Sloan movie, Zookeeper.
So it's, if you don't get what we're doing, you got to check out Melro 210 only on our
Patreon or there's like 30 free episodes on this phase.
That's right.
It's a Melrose place impression.
You know, ask grandma about it.
He's a zookeeper who does not.
And I, even though I saw this movie back in 2011, if you asked me like two weeks ago,
oh, he gets either hit on the head or finds a meteorite.
now he can understand animals. No, all these animals have the ability to speak American
English at all times. All times. Shoes not. So it's, it's not even like do little. No,
it's not like do little. It's just all animals can speak American English. They must be reading
the New York Post. They have quite the vocabulary. I got to say, well, oh, no, this is in Boston.
I'm sorry. Yeah. For some reason. I, yeah, I don't quite get that. Probably because they just gave
him a lot of money to have the Franklin Park Zoo as like an actual.
place that actually exists.
I guess so. I don't know.
They don't call it that though in this movie. No, they do.
It's Frankl. I thought his
name tag said like New England Zoo
or something. I'm pretty sure they say Franklopold.
And there's big arches. They show the name
Oh, well, I couldn't possibly be paying
attention. Well, the thing is you couldn't like set
it in New York because people would be too confused.
Am I watching the King of Queens?
I kind of wish it was they said
it in the Bronx Zoo and then like
all these animals go out on Fordham
Road and like an abysit.
by three-card
literal people
trying to sell you
on three-card Monty
that happened
my wife met
because I was living
in the Bronx
in the time
my wife met me
and I was like
I'll go to the
Ford Road Trade Station
and she's like
I never even
there was a guy
doing three-card Monty
I'm like yeah
it's Port-a-Rode
it rules
Oh yeah
Fort and Road
is the fucking
wild west dude
I mean you let those animals
out around there
more likely
you're going to go
into an Italian
restaurant
like just for today
an ostrich
parmesan
sandwich
and bear
ragu. I would eat
any of these animals. Absolutely.
I don't know. The Jim Brewer
Crow is probably just not a lot
of meat there. No, no, no, no.
Oh, chicken wings. Crow wings.
Yeah, crow wings. Sure. I have to say
the, the
like prologue, the cold open
of this movie is
great. Oh, wow. Because
because it is wonderful.
It's a Kevin James character like getting
his life flushed down the toilet right
before your eyes. A little bit of
shot in Friday there. It's weird because
it's just like, am I, wait, did I
miss the start of the movie? Like, suddenly
it's them on horseback. Like, who are these people? What
is happening? It definitely, I had the same
exact thought was like, oh, did I accidentally
like press skip ahead to the next
chapter or whatever? I could see
that. I mean, like, this
this happens too. So, well, let's
say what I what I have it. They're on the beach.
They're on a horse. It's
Kevin James and Leslie Bibb, Ironman's
Leslie Bibb. That poor fucking horse.
Yes. By the way, folks at home, this is a movie where Leslie Bibb and Rosario Dawson fight over Kevin James' fucking three-inch fucking maggot or whatever he's got pack. I don't know. It makes a lot of sense. What do you talk about, Eric? Doesn't that make so much sense?
They're fighting over Kevin James, which is because he's, he's got a winning personality, I guess.
He's a sad. He's a sad sack or an asshole. Like, there's no redeeming quality.
No. He doesn't abuse animals. That is his only quality. To be fair, though, that is the Happy Madison thing. Yes. Like complete asshole that you have to love. Yep. That's what they do. And speaking of Happy Madison, you've got Leslie Bibb is playing the nasty bitch. Indeed. Yeah. Just the capital and capital B. She ruined your life because she's a nasty bitch. Okay. Okay. We won't call her nasty bitch.
in the script. How about
Nancy Bitt? How about
that? We'll call her Nancy Bitt.
I mean, I don't know. Your
film needs villains. Sure.
Joe Rogan. Yes. It's
it is what it is, but she's like, because like,
you know, he does this thing where
they're on horseback and he's like, oh, look at
that little bottle in the, in the road
there. She picks it up and inside.
The beach, the
road, by the way.
They're on the beach.
Yeah. Steps over a fencer's
course.
gets the fucking thing and says,
oh, will you marry me?
And he's behind her with the fucking thing.
Yes.
And then the most beautiful thing that's ever happened
and the world happens.
Lesie Bibb says, oh, no.
Oh, no.
I can't possibly.
This is why you don't go for the all-out proposal.
No.
Because the bigger the proposal,
if there's a turndown,
the bigger the fallout and the embarrassment.
Never spend over $100 on your engagement
aside from the ring.
Sure.
I would say, yeah, yeah.
No mariachi bands, no horse rental.
Fireworks.
Fireworks also, yep.
Do you remember, and we all did, we all watched this together,
the episode of Age Gap Lovers where that dude was a magician
and he got his whole family in a room.
And he used this like 76 year old granny and he's like doing this whole magic trick
where it's like, will you marry me?
And she's like, oh no.
Deity, I won't do it.
He finally made a woman disappear.
In front of his whole
fucking family. That's the other thing
by the way. A proposal is a two-person
Exactly. Yes.
Let's leave the staple center out of it.
Oh, I'd love to keep fucking
you, but no, I won't be marrying
you. Get that dick out, won't you?
You had a bit of a side piece.
I got a lot of men floating around,
you know. Can't be marrying myself
off, dearie.
Well, and also, if I was a little bit of,
a 76-year-old woman dating a fucking
30-something or 20-something
magician. I'd be like, oh, yeah, just want
to be in me real, sweetheart.
No, you're not going to get it. Here's a 20.
How about that? Oh, no, dear.
You're a magician's see.
You won't be in my will, but
your willie will be in my...
Dear, I jerked off
Keith Richards once. I am not
marrying you. No, no, no, no.
Oh, my God. I mean,
fucking Kevin James, after... They're doing this out
beach in front of an ocean. He should go
Dunkirk, walk right back into the
fucking ocean and let it be over
with. There's no escaping this, son. We have to go
back to the beach where you were turned down.
Stop talking, stop listening to Kenneth
Brana, just go into the fucking ocean.
Also, it's a hilarious, like,
we learned moments later
that this was five years before the start
of the movie, we get a good like five years later.
This opening
for no, I mean, it's
five years. He's got this
piece on. Yes. Like,
I will believe that Kevin James
looked the same five years ago
as he did today.
I would say he's got another piece.
Well, he's completely bald IRL.
Is that the idea?
So, yeah, he kingpinned?
Oh, yeah, you can tell you.
He's super kingpin.
Oh, yeah.
I would like to see him like that.
It's a good look at a piece.
No, it's not.
This first one?
Oh, no, no, the one that he wears
the rest of the film.
Oh, yeah, that's fine.
It's because he's not going overboard.
He still looks like bald in the front
and it's like the, like, sort of,
to like to to the point widow's peak a little bit
he's not going crazy making it look like a full head of hair
I'm just saying they do that at the beginning
and I don't understand why that's too bad that's honestly too bad
one of these UFC guys should be like they should be his pit bull
for like the pit bull to John Travolta they should be like
just be bald we're all bald we're all
so much to fucking Rogan's got the fucking spray paint job
in this movie oh yeah I just figured out you weren't talking about a dog
you mean you mean
the guy who did music
the musical artist pit bull was the
according to Travolta
was the one who convinced him
it was okay to be bald outside
yeah well pit people said
it was okay he said it looked good
he said woof woof
we were filming a Pepsi commercial
but Kevin James was bald in that one
horror movie right or something
oh horror movie
the fucking Beth
Zookeeper
yeah I think it's called
Yeah, I think it's called Beth.
Yeah.
Beth is at least in the bad guy.
So he's like a fat, bald guy that's like,
Ra!
No, he's playing like a race, like a...
A racist?
I think there's something, something, something.
I think so.
Note to self, watch whatever that.
And there's, I will say, there are,
I've seen that movie.
There are some really gnarly deaths in it.
Okay.
A couple pretty good ones.
But I forgot it immediate.
Is this Kevin James have a good death in it?
Yes.
I like that.
Spoiler alert, yes.
but so here he's just like he's humiliated and you know the button on the joke is the mariachi band comes they have to ride off on the horse together because it's kind of out in the middle of nowhere I thought this horse would split in half for something I mean because it's not this is not just a Kevin James fat knock it's there's two people on it yes and it looks like a lot and she's even like it's it's one thing to be like oh you know what like no I'm not gonna Becky sorry Becky Becky it's one thing to be like oh I'm never going to you know
know, this isn't working out.
She even says, like, I was actually going to break up with you anyway.
This is kind of awkward.
But she's, like, nasty about it.
She's like, oh, do you think I could ever do that with you?
You're a zookeeper.
Right.
Being the zookeeper, I don't know.
I mean, he's had zookeeper.
Sure.
Eventually, like, maybe he's not to start.
I also imagine that's a union job.
You got to be doing pretty good.
You got to be doing okay.
Yeah, I would think so.
I mean, the idea that, like, no, I want to date a guy that sells.
Cars? That's, yeah, you could be really bad at selling cars, you know. Not everybody is good at it.
You're not rich. So you cut two five years later. He's a shell of himself. Just zookeeping. And you see, you know, the zoo's waking up a little bit. You know, you see a little bit of everybody. It's that thing that I hate where it's like, you're okay to be good at your job. But like, this happens a lot in these kind of like just totally forgettable comedies where like he's going that extra mile. And there's a moment where he moves the month. And there's a moment where he moves the month.
monkey, like he's like, oh, monkey, like you're laying in the sun.
Let's get you some shade there, buddy.
And I'm like, the monkey knows when he wants shade, man.
Yeah, some animals like being in the sun.
The fucking animals alone, they're not your play thing.
You're not five years old.
That's the thing with this.
It's like, what was he doing in those five years in between?
Was he fucking sticking his thing in these things?
I don't know if that way.
That's why he can know, that's why he can talk to them.
Oh, that's, you think that's the magical thing.
I think maybe that's how you turn an animal on.
The three-hour cut of the zookeeper with the love scene between him and the Mayor Rudolph giraffe.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, he stirs something inside of them.
Uh-huh.
And then they start talking.
You know, we're not allowed to tell anybody because of the code, but you turned me on so much, Kevin James.
I will now speak to you as lovers.
We just, we could do it all along.
We just decided not to.
It's just, it's so easy.
It's like, listen.
up on a ladder
he's fucking fixing an electrical transformer
the monkey comes over
and is messing with the...
Yeah, and like he gets electrocute
and he touches the monkey or whatever
and then it's like, now I can understand
what you're saying?
Because what was Dr. Doolittle's thing?
Because this is not Dr. Dool.
Now, Dr. Dool had like a brain disorder
that he was like, he was like fucking
thinking he was hearing things.
He was in a bathtub during heroin
and imagined all these adventures.
Well, that's, I mean, that's what I assume happened.
I imagine Kevin James had a
break with reality and this is
just him in a new state of mind
hearing these fucking animals. Dr. Doolittle was
so connected with the animals. He
could hear what they
their little chitters made sense
to him. This is kind of what we're
trying to do here but yet
because he's such a good zookeeper. He is such as
he knows everything the animals want
but later in the film the guerrillas
talking to human beings that were not
him. That's the biggest difference right.
The animals are
translated like through
Dr. Doolis. This movie
this fucking Nick Nalti
Gorillas like picking up babes at the
restaurant. I kid. Well, that's
an hour that we'll be talking about. It's a toy story
rules. Yes. I think. Yes.
That's exactly what they're doing. Anyone turns around
they just talk normally. But then
that gives them again
human minds, human agency
and all of these animals, A
because the zoo they would be depressed. And
B, because they have human minds
would be like, oh shit, we're in fucking prison.
How I wish for free
Yeah, but if they got, if they got that human mind, though, and they know, like, how humans live, they're like, well, they're in prison too, right? Like, you look at my apartment. God, I can't wait to spend $15 on mozzarella sticks on Fridays. Oh, money. I'm an ape. There is a prolonged secret. I wish I had student loans and they choke me to death. That's what I wish. These credit card bills are getting too high. So we should mention the first.
First big scene is with Kevin James and Nick Nulte ape, briefly introing also Donnie Waltberg, who has to play a scumbag.
Yeah. Can I just tell you, I was like stunned. Because during the opening credits, his name comes up. And I was like, well, of course, stunned that it was a real life performance. I would have put dollars to donuts he was playing some sort of. Oh, no. We're not giving him an animal.
Ape or something. No, no, no. He could have played like a crock and.
or some shit. What the movie's really telling us, like, what is more of an animal? Is it the apes in the zoo or is it the humans? It's the Donnie Walbur. That is the cruelest animal. It was a zookeeper that intentionally just wakes up every day and is like, I just want to abuse animals every day of my life. Well, there's got to be some. I want my job to be where I get to abuse animals. Yeah. Along that line and with the way that these animals are just like walking around the zoo.
And Donnie Wahlberg is, I guess, abusing them at various points.
This zoo might be the only zoo like in America or at least the northeast where there are count them zero security cameras.
Oh, yeah.
Because if there was a single security camera in this zoo, you would have had a scene of like the fucking big security guard like, all right, Kevin, James, all these animals were out of their pen once again all through the night.
you appeared to be talking and commiserating with them at one point?
Nicholas Tatoro must be sleeping on a cot somewhere all day long
because he just shows up to be like,
Hi, Kevin James, I'm fucking nothing.
Well, I mean, if you did the Tatoro power rankings,
which I do every week, which is always the same.
It's John Way up top.
Ada, a few steps, quite a few steps below him,
but still, you know, soprano's a huge deal.
And then Nick is all the way down.
But I think he's kind of a funny guy.
He's fine. I mean, and he had his run on NYPD Blue, but just it's the power rankings are as such, Andrew.
They're never going to move.
No, and that's why it's a great power ranking for you to do every week, Steve, because it requires zero effort.
Yeah, Ada Taturro is good outside of a Spike Lee movie.
Nicholas Taturro.
That's true.
That's true.
Yeah, so he's just, it's his humdrum life.
He is, we see him like at a, he's at a fucking, like,
junkyard getting a huge tire
for this gorilla? That's the intro of it is he's bringing
the tire into the zoo. He passes everybody. We meet
all the elephant that's Judd Apatow
the monkey that's Adam Sandler. They haven't talked yet but
we're just seeing hello to him and he brings it into this cage
for this gorilla and like this lonely maniac
is just rat-tat-tat and with this gorilla
who will not talk to him yet. But I would like
to believe that this is how they actually
got Nick Nalty to get this role.
He's like, I want
a tire.
Oh, thank you. I also
want a big wiffle ball.
Okay, thank you.
So that's what he was paid in to do the movie.
And then that's just also featured in the film.
I think he was just saying he was tired.
I wanted to lay down.
No, I want a huge tire.
What a big fucking bag of money.
Also, do you have
roofies, just recreational
roofies for me? I could take some of us.
A little bit of a misnomer there.
I was on him several times.
And, well, date rape drug, nobody ever tried to rape me.
Literal, literal, literal Nicknulty.
It's just good for a Sunday football game.
Pop a few of them.
Oh, my God.
So he tries to hang this tire swing.
And he falls down.
He does this like this face fall, this big pratfall, this comedy moment, which isn't funny.
I don't know how it's not funny.
I mean, I always, if someone like Chris Farley, they could nail this moment.
but for some reason for me
Kevin James has too much of like a
shitty
undeserved dignity
that it doesn't even make me laugh
I think you're right it is weird that these pratfalls
don't work for me
they're too controlled
he's controlling his body way too
you can see it that he's calculate
overcalculated everything
well some of it also is
and this is the case with the tire one
because like it's fake
it's computer falls
because it's him computer falls
it's like you're like CGI
him fall. Really? That's not
him taking that spill. I think
it is. I mean, listen, I didn't
see any CGI. He lands on his fucking
fat face, dude. There's no way they let him do that.
He definitely takes it on the chest.
Yeah. I don't know
what technology was involved
or not. But it, but it's
just, it's supposed to be funny.
You know how it looks? Well, you know how it looks when
like in a movie, someone gets
like hit by a car? And it's like, you can tell
like the second it changes from like
the person to the computer. Yeah.
There's at least one of those in this movie where you can, I notice, like, the change of like, now it's not a person that's a fucking cartoon that fell over.
Well, there's definitely a lot of that in the world's most insane wedding that's ever.
Yeah, I think the wedding.
Maybe that's what I'm thinking of.
Oh, yeah.
It gets, oh, the wedding gets nuts.
So, but like, it's, but you're right.
When he's just talking to this gorilla, like he's doing bits on it, like bad, like, oh, you can have disco party here, Bernie.
You'll have a lot of fun bar Bernie, blah, blah, blah.
Get some babes down here.
I mean, like, and in a normal world.
it's just like, I'm a fucking gorilla.
I'm a depressed gorilla
and I will rip your face.
Hey, what was your,
what was your favorite
bad back in the 60s?
Was it the monkeys?
I don't think that's too funny.
Oh, come on.
I don't care for his humor.
I'm a fucking gorilla.
There's a difference.
Hey, hey, we're the, come on.
Hey, hey, we're the, come on.
Come on, come on, do it.
Rara!
I want to fucking rip your ass.
face off and fuck it!
What a book here!
So we meet
Rosario Dawson. She's like the
lead vet
at the...
Who apparently has no life outside of this job
absolutely whatsoever.
No man has ever talked to her
or approached her. Nothing has
ever gone on with this. She has no family.
Like no nothing. I think she
sleeps there. I think she's an
alien that put on some fucking
like lady clothes or something
because it makes it doesn't make
a lot of sense. She's like oh
you know I just I put in for this job in
Nairobi and I guess because
no one likes me here in Boston
I'll just go to Nairobi
and like he's like oh it's great
you know this is this thing where like you know
people are like vying for her services
and no one's vying for his
well he does this pathetic
like he does this fake
like story about how he was
getting poached by a zoo in
New Hampshire and then he's like well
actually it was more like
an animal farm
and they had what does he say
like they had go badgers
it's like you're just
this was one of those moments I felt
like you're just letting him ramble
like you're letting him just do some improv
and it's not fun
isn't it charming isn't it just so charming
to listen to this just nulling
fucking thing in your ear
what do I do when I talk to women
badger yeah okay yeah there were a lot of badgers
up there I learned to badger
so I guess this is like what we learn way
later is the inciting incident or at least like the motivation for these animals to kind of start
talking to him is medical emergency the the lioness comes in later voiced by share by the way
and she's like not breathing or something so this whole thing where Kevin James is helping her
out and then in like and this is a movie where animals just start talking to this idiot this is
one of the more confounding parts of the movie is like she's trying to get him to get the lion
to breathe and like she's flatlining and all this shit. And then
in a stunning turn, Kevin James takes over. Yeah. And she's just like, yeah,
you go ahead. You give it a shot. You know better. My degree is garbage. You just
start rooting around in there, dude. Yeah, you're a fucking puffed up shit shoveler. Get in
there and save that animal's life. I so wanted them to do something like a cut, like a
son's a lamb cut to him, Kevin James saying there's something in his throat. There's
something in his throat.
he just shoves his fucking arm
up this puppet's mouth
I was remembering
Pat people
Exactly Ed Begley Jr.
Just getting fucking annihilated by that Puma
Oh that's right
I wish that happened to Kevin James dude
That's amazing
So there's like a there's a red bull can
Inside of
Yeah of course
I do you know
Obviously a lot of corporations
Are well represented in the zookeeper
Sure
and I feel like Red Bull was like
well yeah so does the lion
die
well no it does okay if the lion doesn't die
yeah she should choke on one of our cans
you think about it like you're threatening
the animals isn't that cool
I think they were fine with it because it wasn't
preceded by a scene
of like some little kid taking a sip
of Red Bull and being like this tastes
like shit and throwing it in
the pen are we to believe
that this I guess what Lion ass you said
is stupid enough
Yeah, I don't know why she was eating cans.
I thought it was a goat for a second.
Oh, yeah, because she is kind of the center of wisdom later in the movie.
It would be, I'd be like, God.
More like whiz, don't.
This fucking, I'm not listening to no fucking big cat.
Just talk about the corporation thing.
Literally the last two lines of this movie are, are plugs.
Product clues.
Our plugs.
It's incredible.
But it's just, yeah, so it's like, she's not, she didn't die.
I guess, yeah.
And somebody's like, yeah.
I can
Now I'm thirsty for Red Bull
Yeah
Ripped out of that lion's throat
Oh you know
And they ripped it out of that lion's throat
It reminded me of ripping an ice cold
Red Bull can out of a bodega refrigerator
So who is voicing this lie
Because it's a character
Who's gonna voice this line?
Well we have Shiline Woodley
We could get Cher
Oh that's I'm listening to that
I'm listening to that
Okay
Yeah that sounds good
but so like that's like they like sort of
they're just obviously work friends
maybe work flirt but mostly work friends
right yeah we have
again very confusing
his brother's engagement party
happening at the zoo
Academy Award winning screenwriter
Nat Faxon
that's right that's right
and what screenplay was that again
And that it's, that's what I thought.
And, yeah, it's, yeah, this was, it's, well, the weird part about this movie.
And actually, like, it's not good ever.
But, like, once the wedding happens in, like, the middle of act two, the movie just turns into chaos.
Oh, my God.
It's a wedding movie up to that point.
Like, you know, it makes sense you have the wedding.
And the engagement party, you've got, like, some wedding events, et cetera, et cetera.
It's also, it's also no longer the zookeeper.
It's the car dealer.
Yeah.
It totally turns into the car dealer.
Like this movie, it should have topped out at the wedding.
Like this whole movie, they're talking about the wedding, the lead up to the wedding.
There's like two engagement parties.
There's a lot of engagement parties.
But the car dealership thing of him taking that job is the all hope is lost.
Oh my God, our hero is giving up.
Yeah.
True.
That's true.
But you're right.
It's weird to have this big wedding in the second act.
and then
for the rest of the movie.
Because, yeah,
it's at,
it's at the,
whatever,
it's at the zoo at night,
which I guess you pulled some strings.
I know that places like,
you know,
the Bronx Zoo and like the Botanical Garden,
like they do events like this.
So like maybe,
but like,
I don't know.
It just,
it seemed kind of weird for the movie.
Have it at a fucking small Italian restaurant.
Maybe he got Ken John as Venom,
of course,
playing another perfect.
So, folks, it was
2011, you literally
had to put this guy in the movie.
Literally ripped right out of my notes.
I was like, oh, it's
2011. That explains his
fucking grating presence in this.
And he's just going to do the Kenjong thing
where he's just kind of weird, like
sexually. I mean, good for
the guy from getting paid. Oh, for sure.
Did you know he's a real doctor? Yeah, everybody knows
that. I would rather watch
him starring this than Kevin
James personally. There was a whole
sitcom about how he used to be a doctor.
We know. Dr. Ken. It was called malpractice. I wish.
I keep killing all these patients.
That would be the funniest thing he did.
We should also say
Nat Faxon, who
he has playing Kevin James' brother, is engaged
to a woman played by
Stefiana Delacruz, who is indeed
Kevin James' wife. Yeah, she doesn't
she's not so great.
as an acting
not so great with the acting
no you know Kevin James
that maybe that's what they had in common
we both fucking suck shit
also pairing her with
where I beer fest's
Nat Fax
and like I've been
he's like really funny engaging
like and she has nothing to do
like I don't even think it's her fault
I kind of like Nat Fax
when he pops up and stuff
I have zero issues with that fact
I think he's kind of okay
in this he's got a couple of moments
yeah but
um
and like whatever, it's like
Kevin James has to give the big speech
at the engagement party
and he decides to do it with a
porcupine in his arms.
And it's going to be this big metaphor.
I really need to see the boss of this place.
Yes.
Somebody's got a, it can't be Nicholas.
Don't, don't do that to me.
No, no, no, no.
You want to see boss?
The Kelsey Grammer is going to walk in the list.
Oh, I'm boss.
Yes, there we go.
I'm zoo boss.
Get back in there and fuck those animals.
You're right, though.
You need some kind of like old bastard who's like the general manager of the zoo, the director of the zoo.
Kevin James, you cannot bring a porcupine during its nap hours for your engagement party.
Are you crazy, Kevin James?
And so Leslie Bibb shows up at the engagement party.
He spies her from across the room while he's giving the speech and then like gets all marries.
marble-mouthed and bungles it, and this is all supposed to be hilarious, and it is not.
One thing I need to know about their relationship, because the rest of the first, the rest of
most of this movie is now him being flummoxed by her, like, it's high school, and he's like,
oh my God, it's the prettiest girl I've ever seen, which is fine, but like, you're on
horseback with this woman on vacation, presumably.
You were dating her for maybe a year, at least.
You've had sex with her, like the, some of the mystery is gone.
Absolutely. Absolutely. Some of that mystery is gone.
But because he's like, you know how to approach this woman.
I'm a fat loser, so I have to act like I'm in fucking elementary school whenever a girl walks by.
I think she broke up with it because he wouldn't close his eyes when they kiss.
Yeah.
Every time it's just like, this is freaking me out.
I just want to keep looking at you, babe.
I just can't stop looking at you.
You're so out of my week.
Oh, my God. Your eyes are like oceans.
Oh, God.
They're so beautiful.
Every time my eyes closed, those are seconds that I'm not looking at you.
Yeah, I'm going to break up with you and not be engaged with you because my shoes are just totally missing.
All of them.
Every last one of them.
Also, whenever we go to any function where there's slow dancing, you insist on me putting my hands on your shoulders, yours are on my hips, and you stick your ass out to be as far away from me as possible while we dance as if we are still in elementary school.
Kevin, I found your library, I'm going to call it, of sleep tapes you have of me.
I got to go.
I'm sorry, this is over.
I don't appreciate the one that's labeled the box set of sexy snoring.
Yeah, you know, and whenever I sleep over your house, I notice that my hairbrushes are fucking clean as an airport bathroom the morning after.
Also, one of these sleep tapes was from my vacation with my girlfriend to Puerto Rico.
Where'd you get that one?
I just love the idea
that he's got a big hair ball
A giant bib ball
Smelling it
Oh my bib ball
Oh my little
Bip ball
Oh it's getting big enough
That he's fucking it man
This fucking hair
Pussy he's got
He's fucking cousin Bib
But that's the problem
And like it doesn't make any sense
If he's like you know
We've all had ex-girlfriends
Like you know
Maybe it ended poorly
Like you still relate to them
the way you related to them when you were dating
sort of it's it's more awkward certainly
but like you're human beings
also like it's she fucking
humiliated you yes
dumped you five years ago dude the reaction
is like are you fucking serious
if you was pissed that would make sense
yep yeah but it was like it's the
girl I like I did you job
but how about the how about the girl
also we're in the age of Facebook
you definitely have stuck please oh he knows
what's going on what she looks like
Steve's right
Black.
Yeah.
A couple of dupe accounts.
Bernie the gorilla is sending you a friend request.
The Franklin Park Zoo keeps on trying to add me as a friend.
Yeah, I'm just trying to keep up with friends from high school.
His Facebook is amazing as everyone says it is.
Oh, my God.
I am not for violence against animals,
but when that clearly fake gorilla said that in this movie,
I was like, I need Muldoon from Jurassic Park to pop out and shoot this thing in
It would be cool if...
G.I. Writing.
Kevin James is his...
I guess let's call it Lus for Life here.
It infects these animals to the point where, again, like we see, they want to leave the zoo.
They want to live like people.
And we just have to put them all down.
Like a guy comes in with a flamethrower or a Uzi or something.
No, Kurt Russell comes to a flamethrower and goes up to...
fucking Judd Epitow elephant
goes, yeah, fuck you too!
It just burns up to death.
That would be the best
movie ever. It would be pretty good.
But no, so he's just flummoxed
that he goes up to her and he's even more flummox.
And he keeps getting this, it wasn't funny
the first time, it wasn't funny the second time, and it was
not funny the third time they did it.
He keeps getting stabbed with like the porcupine
barbs and like
the thing of like, and this, it's the total
Kevin James thing of like, he's clearly
in pain but he's trying to play it cool
and he's just got this fucking barb in his face.
You know what? It might be funny if he reacted.
Well, that's the thing. That's the thing
with him. Sandler reacts to
everything. That's why you were talking about
the Pratt Falls. That's why Farley,
the Pratt Falls with Farley was so great because
he would fucking react to them. And I think that's
what it is. Anytime there's like a
Kevin James flying around, falling off
whatever the fuck, it's dead silence.
Yeah. He's trying to keep his composure
for some reason. It's always like, okay.
Yeah. That.
hurt? Yeah, it's a lot of that happened
kind of stuff. That
like you accidentally sat on your balls and you
jumped up real quick to make sure you didn't fully
pop your knots and then
you look around to make sure nobody saw you
like that's what he reacts like every single
Yeah, you pull a belvedere. That guy blew up his testicles
right? At least one of them.
That's wild. Just imagine all that mass
being put on testicles.
Those poor little balls didn't have a chance.
One goes under a thigh and
screams out. Survive. I won't.
But you will!
I'm not going to make it.
Oh, man, you know, I sat on my balls and I could have sworn I heard them act out a scene from executive decision.
That didn't happen, though. But it's a good, I mean, like, whatever.
I will say there's one humorous bit here where she's like,
like, hey, maybe.
Because she's like, I think she says to maybe Nat Faxon's wife there, which is Kevin
James's wife, with this character name, Lisa.
Robin?
Robin?
Robin.
Robin, I think you're Robin.
Robin, I think you're Robin.
Robin, she says to Robbins says to Robin, like, you know, he's just got so much
potential.
And it's like, I just want to change him and like, I'm still attracted.
And again, like, she could totally still be attracted to him.
That's totally fine.
But like, so she goes up to him.
She's like, hey, me and Robin wanted to get a private tour of the zoo.
Is that possible?
And I do think it's pretty fun.
Oh, no, it's not going to happen
because there's a waiting list.
There's a whole office that you have to go through.
And he sticks a deadpan.
It's pretty funny.
I have to talk to the zoo boss.
I'm not doing that.
Dude, zoo boss.
No, we don't give private to a zookeeper.
Go back.
Are you into shame play, Kayven James?
What are you doing with this lady?
But I think one of the animals over here's...
A bunch of them hear everything.
That's weird.
It's like a scene from the fucking.
conversation.
Like all these animals are like eavesdropping
on people. Listening to people
walk in this park.
And that's how the movie tells you like
their understanding what they're saying
because like the giraffe sort of leans
in and overhears
Leslie Bibb's like talking
whatever. I can't
with the fucking animals.
It's coming up baby because it's
the first 20 minutes doesn't have it in the last
and like there's just so
little talking animal in this movie. It's like
why bother?
Yeah, I mean, like, once they start talking, I'm like, what?
It's like 30 minutes into the movie.
The animals start talking before they talk to him, though.
Yes, they have a council meeting or whatever.
Because it's like, we get the scene of like the animals are like turning on the zoo for today.
For the day and you have that fucking, the lights come up and the wolf's like cleaning his nuts or whatever.
And you have this guy going, like, oh, what?
I wasn't doing anything.
I was just cleaning my basement.
And I'm like...
And then Adam Sandler
with this monkey voice.
I can't even do it.
It's so freaking annoying.
I don't want to do it.
I mean, to my ear, it sounded like his do-d-do-d-baboo.
Yes.
Mixed with like if that, whatever that guy is,
was doing like a Pacino impression.
Gotcha.
I don't know if that's accurate at all,
but that's what my brain was registering it is.
Better monkey acting, Russell Madness, I think.
Oh, a completely better movie, honestly.
Russell Madness is a better film.
Yep, 100%.
Totally.
Wait, was that monkey talking?
The monkey does talk in Russell Madness.
Okay, I couldn't remember.
It's one monkey talking, right?
It's one monkey and the dog.
One monkey talking.
The monkey and the dog talk to one another.
That's correct.
Okay.
Yeah, I don't like that interspecies stuff.
Yeah.
But at least it's that's two species.
This is like eight of them.
you know, could have been
the zoo boss is John Ratsenberger.
Oh, hey there, Kevin James.
Yeah, you want to have your
brother's engagement party here. That's pretty all right.
It's Boston. It would make sense.
Totally. Cliff Clavin retires from the post office.
He's working at a zoo. There's nothing Boston
about this movie.
Aside from Donnie Wallberg.
Yeah, the other thing that I pointed out to you guys
last night, which I think is very strange, is
anytime they're filming in the zoo, it's like
golden hour, it's bright.
it's beautiful blah blah blah
there's a moment in this movie where he has to run home
for some reason and like
the second you go outside the zoo in this movie
it looks exactly like Mystic River
it's just that like fucking
that light blue coating over
everything and that's like Boston
it's so weird little kid
Tim Rob is at the back of a car waving
goodbye zookeeper
semi-garilla in there
oh we're talking about giraffes
wow we're talking about vampires
it's it's so yeah it's the big council i mean we've talked about some of them
sandler's doing this monkey thing his joke is that he has thumbs and that makes it the most
superior of all the animals right i mean he's doing like billy madison if he had a sore throat
yeah and then uh my rudolph is this giraffe giraffe by the way sad story on this giraffe
this giraffe oh this is literally died on the set of the film
I wonder why, okay?
You can't ride it, Kevin Jays.
Tweet the giraffe, who rose to famous...
Tweet?
Tweet as the star of the classic Toys R Us commercials
by being cast as Jeffrey, the company's official mascot.
So this is like a famous fucking giraffe.
Also in Ace of Pet Detective.
This is giraffe royalty.
This is like the Abe Lincoln of giraffes.
Died after filming Zookeeper at the Franklin Park Zoo.
The 18-year-old giraffe collapsed during feeding in the house
in the care of his trainer.
I wonder why.
No.
I wonder why.
We need to get the shot.
Get the giraffe out again.
I don't give a shit.
All this,
all the fucking production staff
putting cigarettes out on it and shit.
I need the giraffe to look sassy.
It's not looking sassy.
Also, possibility choked
on a red bull can.
That zoo's got a real problem with that,
apparently.
And also this elephant,
Ty the elephant was featured in a video
reportedly filmed in 2005
and released in 2011
by the Animal Defenders International.
which showed him being abused by his trainers.
The campaign to boycott this movie was
unsuccessfully mounted by PETA.
Well, can you believe it they, even at the end of the movie
in the credits, there's the thing of the
what's that animal rights?
No animal.
Yeah, they put their stupid rubber stamp on this thing.
That's a fucking, that's a check.
Exactly.
Yeah, I'll send some guy down to the set.
All right.
Just send in the object.
Just ASPCA person add like a presser,
like sweaty brow like
no Kevin James didn't ride any of the animals
pours a huge glass of water
drinks the whole thing before answering
yeah no that's the same draft
from the beginning of the movie for sure
it was actually a monster energy drink
that was found
to say it was a Red Bull is just
I mean that's mean spirit
I don't recall how many monkeys were used
on the film I'm sorry I'll have to check my notes
no sir I do not recall how many
which lions were around
Mr. Sadek we're just asking
was it more or less than six?
I cannot recall.
I have to check my notes.
I never personally heard the term dead monkey pile.
Well, and the animal is dead, depending on the definition of what is, is.
And dead is.
I mean, it's still on the planet, so it's still on planet Earth.
You stuffed it.
It's in someone's living room.
They're enjoying it.
That's got to be worth something.
That's what when I said the monkey was still with us.
I meant physically the monkey carcass.
was with us.
Mrs. Smith, I didn't say,
Pyle, I said hill.
Oh, man.
Just a hill
of dead monkeys.
That'd be cool.
Slice Stallone.
He's the big lion.
Did you hear
like the trivia for this?
No, it's that.
Isn't it interesting?
No.
That Sylvester Stallone's
voicing a lion when, in fact,
before he became a big star,
he cleaned lion cages
at the zoo.
How about that?
I got all sorts of experience
cleaning up this shit.
He's also the one that puts down the MGM
line when they're done with them.
Come on and come over to Uncle Slides.
It's time for the neck break retirement party.
It's just ground beef.
We're just going to put a few pills
inside the ground beef.
Here we go, buddy.
You know, I was noticing this in front of...
Any last words, of course,
that lions can talk, crack.
I was noticing this in front of
no time to die.
and something else I watched
recently. That's the James Bond picture.
That you better believe it.
They're toning down the volume
with that roar.
Oh, wow. Is it scaring people?
No, it was always just too loud.
It was always like the Netflix dong dong.
Oh, the dong, dong. I don't like that.
Well, it's supposed to wake up the oldies.
Exactly. The grampies need to be woke enough.
Wake the fuck up. The previews are over. The movie's starting.
Exactly. Stop staring!
You're going to miss James Bond,
grandma. At least they still have
the line war. Like this new Warner
Brothers logo
it's just this. What are we talking about?
The quiet one. There's a quiet one in Dune
like it's not really. Yeah, you got to see Dune.
Yeah, they got it on there.
It's just a new like flashy
WB. Yeah. It's just very
flat. Oh yeah. I'm so
exhausted. I, you said
Warner Brothers and I
heard Universal and I was like something happened to the
planet? The planet intro?
No, yes. I have seen that new Warner Brothers.
logo. And it is, again, listen
folks, flat and smooth
does not equal good.
I know. Garbage.
Figure of flat and smooth,
Kevin James. But yes,
the lion is just like, we got to help
him. He's going to leave us. We got to figure
out what you do.
All my zoo keepers are going.
All the animals
want Kevin James to stay
because he'll
take care of them well. He takes good care
of them. And I guess also keeps
fucking Donnie Wahlberg from flat out
murdering them? There's that great detail
that Donnie Wahlberg
has a stick with a nail
on the end of it that he prods
animals with him fucking Moses like
it's like a Stephen King
villain like he needs a Stephen King
ending. Maybe he should
be the villain right? Why are we
adding Joe Rogan at 38 minutes
into the movie? Maybe Donnie
Walberg meets Stephanie
the character Lesoth Bibb is playing in this movie
at the zoo at night and they hit it off.
That's, I mean, that's a cleaner movie and, like, Donnie Wahlberg's a much better actor than Joe Rogan.
He absolutely is.
Is one of the worst actors I've ever seen.
Like, here's the thing, I don't, I don't watch or care for literally everything that Donnie Wahlberg's in.
Yeah.
But I think he's actually a decent enough actor.
And certainly for, like, what the role is asking of Rogan, like, Donnie Wahlberg could do that in his sleep.
Because it's an easy role to be, like, the scummy boyfriend that's, like, kind of, you know, like, a dick that the audience is supposed.
to root against, but literally
Rogan just has no
delivery whatsoever in any of these
I've never listened to his show. I have no
idea what any of that shit is. He just
sucks ass in this movie. It's terrible.
And I was wondering about it
because like the only other thing
I've seen him act in, which I think he's
good in is news radio. He's amazing
in news radio. So like I don't, I mean
one, this is a fucking Sandler movie
so obviously we're not putting a ton of care
into the directing of the performances. And also
at this point he was
what we now know
Joe Rogan to be
which you know
all the fucking
whatever bull semen
he's consumed
to stay young
and whatever he was a transitional period
for Mr. Rogen.
He hadn't gone full come drinker
doing the Rogan experience
I don't think no he's in the DMT
rhino horn or whatever
I mean yeah like like chicken bones
rhinos horns
lots of rhino horns
drinks the cum of the chicken nails
and such a thing
the sensory deprivation
tank we like a lot.
Oh, he's doing that.
Could someone lock the door?
Lock the gates.
You're going to throw away the key?
I mean, like, yeah, he's like a experience junkie.
Like, he likes to be challenged and talk about everything.
He, as an actor, I don't even know if he's acting.
Like, that's the thing with him.
I think he's just there and he's like, yeah, I know Kevin.
And, yeah, he asked me to do this role for me.
No, yeah, I'm just, I know Kevin from the MMA stuff and he asked me to be in this.
That's what's interesting is like,
as much as this is like a
Sandman, Happy Manison movie
where he, Sandler is always
like, let's just have my friends go on vacation
and make a movie. This is the Kevin James
version of that. So you have
Rogan, you have this guy voicing
the wolf who's an ex-MMA legend
who's now like an announcer or whatever.
What is the MMA connection with Kevin James
because he doesn't really look like an MMA guy.
Well, he's good friends with Joe
Rogan and Joe Rogan
announces UFC fights.
But I think Kevin James is like, he's like a big
He does train as
MMA. He does actually train. He trains as
MMA? Yeah, he does. How?
You're asking the wrong person.
What? You should ask Joe
Rogan. I want to see a... I want to see
that. I want to see him fight.
Yeah, maybe there is footage. There might be. YouTube
is a vast place, Eric.
Here comes the boom movie. That's what he's doing.
So I think that that's sort of part of it.
Was that before or after this? That was after
that way. But that's like a movie. I want
to see like a towering Russian man
like strip him for parts.
just fucking break this dude apart.
You know what I mean?
Like a real MMA guy
should be able to fucking decimate Kevin James, right?
Should and would.
But the problem is it's not like,
because Kevin James has all of that
King of Queen's money.
Like he's totally fine.
He would never have to get into that desperate
fucking like celebrity fighting world,
like which is out there.
So the elephants or the animals,
including the Judd-Apato elephant are like
the easiest way
for him to win Leslie Bibb back
and like stay at the zoo or whatever
is to make him look like a hero
so there's going to be a big like fake animal attack
and this was I started thinking about
the whole idea again
of they eventually tell Kevin James
like we could always talk but we don't
then how is it do you explain
like centuries of animals killing human beings
it doesn't make any sense
if they're just again if they're like so like neurotic
as just talking like human beings,
a monkey wouldn't just freak out
and rip your face off, right?
That's that, that wouldn't happen.
Well, that's, I mean, the bear scene is so like,
I blanked out.
I was like, what is happening in this scene?
Like, they're like, we would like to eat the child here,
but because you're being funny and nice, we won't do it, I guess.
This is John Favreau is one of the bears.
And prior to that,
they had a little tit for tat there with the bears
about how one of the bears was putting vitamin
drops in his water, which is like, I guess he's like pooing or pissing. He's pissing. He's
pissing in the water. So we got, we get talk about like bears eating each other's piss and shit.
Yeah, yeah. Another thing, because the bears are always going at it. One of them is like, oh, yeah, I used to have a
girlfriend in another zoo. She had an extra claw and she knew how to use it. Yeah, yeah. Now just like
the claw going to the asshole. Yeah, that's what it is. A finger my assail. My finger my
bear asshole. My fucking bear claw and my fucking asshole, Chris. Worse than that. It's the fucking
bullshit. I have a Canadian girlfriend joke with bears.
All the jokes of this movie, they're from like 40 years before the movie came out.
But now it's funny little animal saying it. So it's different.
I guess. Put a gun in my mouth.
But so they try, the lion almost attacks Leslie Bibb and like Kevin James almost saves her but doesn't.
This is, oh, God damn it. It pains me to say this. And I'll admit.
A couple times throughout this 101 grueling minutes,
I had some legitimate laughs.
Sure.
Including right here where he is running to try to save them.
And he attempts to like leap over this huge like, you know, pit or whatever
and fucking falls right into it.
And it's pretty funny.
But even that, like that would have been a perfect,
Farley would have absolutely destroyed that.
Because what would have happened?
Immediately when he fell, you'd hear like,
Oh, son of a.
Yeah, there's nothing.
It's just he dead, silent falls to the ground.
And that is definitely one of the digitally manipulated ones.
That's maybe what I think.
Absolutely, because he tries to jump and they slam him into the rock face and he falls down.
The only, I had a couple of chuckles at Elephant Apatow had a couple of good lines I thought.
Sure.
But like, yeah.
Also, the lion gang out of the fucking cage.
Yes.
I need Zuboss again.
Yeah.
Zoo boss needs to be like, okay, we're putting down the lion.
Exactly.
The lion has to die.
I'm sorry.
I was just trying to help a friend of mine.
Oh, no, you're putting me down.
We're going to put that lion down.
And then also, you can't be asking me to take a dive.
Because we have security cameras in a zoo.
Not only are we going to put the lion down, we're also going to take the monkey that apparently
knows how to pick locks and give that guy to science because he's a gene.
Yeah. And also we're going to put down Kevin James, this human that's in the zoo.
I was just trying to help. I can't believe I'm being put down. Can I see my wife one more time?
And they're injecting him. And we get to see the whole thing.
I'm getting sleepy.
If I could turn back time and not help Kevin Drake's.
You'd still be a life.
Honestly, do I go
Because I have a human voice, do I go
to human heaven or lion?
Wait, a lion heaven doesn't exist.
Where am I going to go?
I would love it. This fucking lion
dies and then like toward like the
midpoint, a new lion with
like Dolph Lundgren's voice.
Oh, yes, yes.
Dude, if that happened and Stallone found out
after the fact he tried to fucking sue
Happy Madison. Fuck that.
They know Carl Weathers. Get to get him to do it.
you'd be very it would be more interesting of a movie if the animals started to hate Kevin
James and then he had to win them back instead of the animals teaching him how to how to fucking
impress a human woman. Spoiler, he abandons them at that towards the end of this movie and like
they are so happy to see him come back. They're not they don't complain at out. They're like,
oh, well, we haven't seen you. Oh, come on, buddy. Get in here. To Eric's point,
the next movement of the movie is all of these
dumb animals giving him horrible
advice. It doesn't make any sense. I mean,
and it's not even like not be yourself
like the first,
the bears are just like, oh, you have to do
a weird bear walk and you have to
lead with your pudding cup, by
the way. I thought they were talking about
his fucking scrote. It's not his
no, it's his gut. Oh,
I said, what? I thought it was, it's
it's his dick, right? It's fucking the gut
that is the balls. Yeah.
I don't. I think
that's, that's what we're supposed to read.
Okay. I read it as ding-dong. I read it as ding-dong, dude.
Maybe, let's split the difference. It's his fupa, okay?
Yeah. Like, I assume that, but like, yeah, like, for you, like, I really need somebody,
you know, there's a mom, mom the meatloaf reveal later. Yeah. But I need somebody to tell me that
he's, like, all there. Because if he believes what this bear is telling him, and then later what the wolf is
telling him he's got a mental thing that's he's not yeah the wolf thing the wolf thing he should
have been arrested yes because the wolf shows him i mean the bears just like do this crazy
stupid walk and he does it it's a silly little kevin james acting like a bear and if you're fucking
seven years old and you're the zookeeper you're having a great time if you haven't been hit by
head in the head by a fucking hammer recently it's not so funny um the uh i would rather be
hitting the hammer than watch this movie but the the wolf is like oh you have to use your territory
show them what's what. So it's like, he's pissing and he's like, now you do do it. You have to
peace. It's crazy though, because it's two, it's two scenes of Kevin James pissing in public.
Yes. Literally back to back because he's fucking pissing on a tree in the zoo.
Well, he piss on the tree with zoo. He gets caught by Rosario Dostin. Which is amazing.
You're fired by the way. Oh, he's super fired. He turns around. He's in enclosures, fuck off.
Dude, she not only sees him peeing. She sees his little floppy.
Peepicock.
She sees like pee
coming out of his penis here.
This is a thing that happens in movies
and when this goes down
I never understand it.
It's like when someone's taking a leak
and someone catches their attention
behind them and they turn around
with their penis still out.
Like you've got your fucking Johnson in your hand.
Floppy peepiecock.
But like put it away and then turn around.
Yeah.
Or don't turn around and be like sorry.
I'll be in within a second.
I'm sorry.
You know what?
I'll admit I'm pissing
public. I'm just, please let me finish.
He calls it a paper boy. He says
he's going to piss on the wolf's leg
because it's poisoned. Yes.
But like, no, he has to pee. He does
piss on this wolf.
This is just my point. Rosario Dawson
is there. And it's kind of implied
that she knows he's bullshitting.
Yes. And it's still like, come
on piss on the wolf.
Come on piss on the wolf a little
bit. Because she's a happy Madison. Cool
girl. Yes. Yes. I'm the happy Madison
nasty bitch. Right. And
Happy Man is a cool girl who just loves people who eat nachos and just want to do nothing with their lives.
Or apparently would love to see a man's nuts be eaten because this wolf in reality would eat the dick.
Oh, God, I would love it.
I would love to see his dick eat.
Chomped up, but no, this fucking, he pisses on the wolf.
And then later he's like washing it off and he's like, I'm sorry, buddy.
I'm so sorry.
I peed all over you, buddy.
Yeah, yeah, there's a scene of him washing the wolf.
But then it cuts immediately to that from that.
is insane. This isn't crazy.
There's literally
no setup. There's no establishing shot.
There's no him walking into the restaurant. It cuts
to him in the middle of a restaurant, pissing
in a fucking flower. In the middle
of a restaurant around people, he's
got his peepy floppycock out again.
Just a restaurant fellas.
Engagement party number two.
That's right. That is.
Or the rehearsal dinner or something.
Maybe it's a rehearsal dinner, but yes.
But we're too far from the
No, yeah, because then there's the bike race.
There's a whole thing.
The second engagement party.
That's fair.
But what the fuck is this even doing?
Why isn't he going to the bathroom?
Why is he taking out his pee-p-flop-icoc?
No, now it's his area and he'll feel
better. I'm like, no, because he's a man
and he wouldn't feel that way. I just got it
because he's got to mark his territory
around where the woman actually is.
Yes, that's exactly what it is. But that's so
come on, dude. He takes
this wolf's advice
verbatim. Why would you do that?
Because you're insane. Here's what I do
is I pee in a little vile.
And I sprinkle it under the table.
Oh, yeah. That's a good move. Better move than this.
You peepee at home.
Where the fucking Major D has got to be like, okay, yeah, you can piss in my restaurant,
piss all over my restaurant.
I wish you didn't, but you can.
He's caught and the guy says that we have restrooms.
Anyway, bye, that's fine.
Yeah, you're still totally welcome to dine here, I guess.
You are being asked to leave if not arrested.
For sure.
And that's your fucking pee-pee floppy cacao.
That's how it also seems fine with it.
I said it once.
that I thought it was funny.
I kind of like it because, you know,
there's a different kind of cock that's hard,
but this is a floppycock.
It's a floppycock that's dripping little peas everywhere.
And suddenly we're supposed to be like,
that's fine.
I'd rather walk around with a raging erection than a pee-b-floppy-coc.
Oh, no, they're putting me down and I just peepie floppycocked all over my leg.
I don't get it.
All I did was pee in one restaurant.
They're putting me down.
Share, take care of pee-pee-floppy-cock.
he was so good to me
I loved peepie floppycock
and don't you ever fuck Carl Weather's lion
okay
you're celibate lion now
I can't believe
oh no
I'm blind already
let's get slowly
but yeah see he pees all over this thing
like oh sir blah blah blah
this is when you know and he goes up to like Leslie
Bibb and it's kind of going
okay but uh oh here comes Joe Rogan
and I mean like every
line is just like, just, just say it less, good Joe. Just worse. There was a line that I was
amused by and I got mad at myself is when Kevin James goes, what's up? And Joe Rogan responds
immediately without missing a beat everything. And like, if that was in the hands of another
actor, I would admit to that being funny. Exactly. I was personally laughing. I was reading
my notes. I didn't write down P.P. Floppy God. I wrote down Pissie Dick everywhere.
I mean, I think he lost a lot of his comedic timing
just yelling and during Fear Factor.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Oh, the fear. I forgot about the fear factor.
So what was that?
What was that?
You were like eating bugs or something?
You would eat bugs.
Jumping off shit.
Now, did he do that at all?
He was just told other people.
No, I think he told other people.
I mean, maybe he's a host.
Yeah, he's just the host.
Like, okay.
He also.
50 grand, you have to, you know, eat this dog shit.
Eat my fucking assholes.
I think he also was there to like yell and courage.
Like, you'd be like, come on, you could do that.
One more word.
Put your legs into it.
Yeah, exactly.
Like Stone Cold Steve Austin
on the Broken Skull Challenge.
But that also might have been
how him and James are close.
Because James got started.
He was one of the guys.
Yes, he was eating shit all the time
at restaurants even.
It's actually, it's like the
subcard on the Nathan's July 4th
hot dog contest.
It's like the warm up back.
How much shit can you eat?
Yeah.
We'll get to the hot doors.
You got to eat shit in spiders.
This is a fucking TV show.
Nathan's turd restaurant on Kony.
island, yeah. Not as well known as Nathan's hot dogs. A curd would fit into a bun pretty well.
The word actually depending on, yeah. Anyway, what are you saying? Kevin James started on
candid camera. He was one of the guys who did candid camera pranks. Oh, wow. That makes so much
when they brought it back in the nine. That fucking sucks. Jesus. I don't remember
that. I do remember what it came back and I don't remember Kevin Jane. No, that's, I remember
when it came back. But I didn't know. He was one of the associated with it. He was like one of the guys
confused pizza boy. I'm already envisioning what this is.
But so he comes in and now he's like, and again, like, you have a history with this woman.
I mean, obviously, she apparently just broke up with this guy, Joe Rogan.
So, like, it's fresher.
And, like, she's like, oh, that's Gail.
It's my boyfriend.
So, you know, I got to go talk to him.
So, but they're not together then?
Or they're not together.
They did just break up.
Oh, I was under the, okay.
Before the movie started.
There was some introduction.
Not that it matters.
But it's like, oh, that's my ex-boyfriend.
And this is my ex-boyfriend when they introduced them.
Oh, got it.
And that doesn't matter, but then the next day is he just like gets flummoxed and runs away and goes to his animal friends like, I can't. He's in great shape. He's Joe Rogan. I mean, he kind of looks like shit. I mean, he looks like shit in the face. I'll say that. He looks awful. I mean, I'm sure he looks like shit in the face now. I haven't watched him recently. But boy, does he look like shit in the face here. He had just started the shitty face era in this movie. Did it like start squitting more? What is what?
happening with this face. He grows not as bad as it is now.
Now he looks like a baby that got blasted
with gamma radiation. But that's because
he grew it, he's accepted it fully.
Like it's always a black t-shirt. He's like a baby guy
now. Yeah, yeah. I mean, like that's all
he's going to be for the rest of it. But here he
doesn't have it under control. He just looks like
he looks like he wandered out of the
desert onto set. Yeah, he looks like
he's always eating something sour
or something. It looks like, God.
But I have to say, I think
the smooth baby cueball
shave works better for him than this.
This hair, it's the spray can hair.
It looks terrible.
Yeah.
It looks absolutely terrible.
But so he's going to his animal friends.
Like, how am I supposed to, what am I going to do here?
Which one says you have to separate her from the pack?
I think these are the lions.
The lions.
Yeah.
So this is, I think this is the long line really good.
The herd.
You got to separate her from the herd.
Yeah.
She's all alone.
You can fucking take her down.
Listen, you got to get her into a corner and you put your arm against the exit.
And then she.
feels threatened enough that she feels like
she's your girl friend. You follow her
home and then you wait for a dark alley
and then you put her sure in there
and then you have a nice talk. You're going to lock her
in a basement. All of these things
I've done as a lion.
I'm a romantic, you see.
So yeah, it's part of like, I guess, the wedding
party bonding activity.
Fuck your mother. Yes, what you've got me
for the engagement party, the bachelor party.
If I'm in it, the rehearsal
dinner and the wedding. That is it. That is four days and they better be fucking spread out.
There better be no pre-matrimonial exercising in your fucking, I swear to God, I will come for you.
Any games or activities or fucking brunches are not in the cards.
A friend of mine did one once that I thought was totally great. It was the day of the wedding.
There was like a golf game. Okay. And I, it was great because I was like, listen, man, I do not golf.
can I drive the golf cart
and just kind of like make sarcastic comments
and stuff and he was like absolutely
and it was awesome because driving a golf cart's fun as fuck
that's fun. Yeah that's cool
I would say fuck your mother
and kids are if that was the
this is like I don't want to fucking half marathon
we're cycling here
no no fuck your mother with an eye iron
and this is like
it becomes a competitive thing between
KJ and Rogi
and it's like you know
he's I don't know if he's like
late or whatever, but he rides up
and the guys like, oh, all the bikes
are gone. This big wedding party
took the ball and he's like, oh, I'm in that.
You got to help me out. And he's like
cut to because like, this
is what this guy is. This is what happens to these
characters. He's now in this embarrassing
like pseudo recumbent bicycle
that looks like a silly helmet
on. Yeah. You have like
some Bachman Turner over, like
all the fucking classic rock radio
shit all throughout this. I think
they do free ride during this.
That's fucking another happy Madison thing.
Oh, it's a happy Madison thing. Absolutely.
It's just the 70s yacht rock horse shit.
And it's just like, I've seen it in movies.
Which I like.
Not in movies.
I just like listening to it.
Like here's the thing.
Up until last night, I fucking loved Boston's more than a feeling.
Oh yeah.
It's ruined for you now.
Holy shit.
The end of this movie, the end credits world,
the animals are singing it in the animal voices.
It's like we're setting the movie in Boston.
How about Boston?
is the band. Now we're going to do a movie
in Chicago and Chicago
is the band. And you got Adam Sandler
fucking doing the monkey voice.
It's all the day. In the park.
The thing that's amazing
about all this animal singing,
the ending is horrible,
but the worst one,
I almost want to wait for the
gorilla singing
apple bottom jeans.
Oh, well, we're going to get.
and the boots with the frown.
I want to love it.
I'm not shinging that.
You're getting somebody else for that.
You can't get somebody to do an impression to me.
That's what that, I mean, this thing happens, whatever.
He gets more humiliated.
The middle of the movie is like, oh, poor Bernie the gorilla, what am I going to do with him?
He won't even talk to him yet.
He's like the last animal to talk to him.
By this point where we're at in the movie, he has already started talking to him.
But we find out all this crazy backstory shit because the gorilla starts talking.
and like, uh, he gets him like a, he brings him a bucket of popcorn or something.
Yes.
And he says like, leave it by the door.
And that's like, he's like, oh, making, you know, break through here with this gorilla or
whatever.
But there's one part where he's, oh, man, I totally lost my train of thought with this
gorilla.
It's talking.
Oh, yeah.
The gorilla's so the gorilla's talking and it's saying stupid shit.
He talks about how, uh, he was abused by, yes, the scandal with Donnie Walberg.
He also got it.
I think he's electrocuted me.
Yeah, he's like, I grabbed, I grabbed the stick.
And he said that I attacked him.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, Donnie Walbert framed this gorilla.
So now he's in like, he's in like a gorilla solitaire,
like a fucking Hannibal Lecter situation.
And dude, so much so that like when he's like in the midst of helping him out or whatever.
And Kevin James is like, oh, you know, what can I do for you, buddy?
He's like, well, you're like, you're going to get my view back.
I want to make a drawing of this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, incidental.
You know, Kevin James, come in here.
Love your suit.
I would never have that happen to you, Kevin James.
Oh, man.
Like the little, Adam Sandler could throw cum on him or something.
Oh, absolutely.
Oh, madman mix.
but so one of the things
this gorilla says
is TGi Friday's as amazing
as they think it is
where what is this frame of reference for this
is there a television set in here
it needs to be a thing where like he is in view
of a fucking TV yeah because how else
does he know about TG Friday's word of mouth
because we're in a fucking fantasy world
where people enjoy TGF Friday
is that it's fine but people enjoy TGF Friday
I would just like to believe it's he's because
the only person he really has contact with is
Donnie Wahlberg. And Donnie Wahlberg
has to like save up to a four
TGI Fridays. He's talking about
that's where he takes his girls kind of a
situation. Right. And
the thing is, bro, we got mudslides
at TGI Fridays this weekend. I was wasted.
I got a 40 ounce Sam
and a big boot. I drank it.
I mean, you have to ignore
Donnie. Everything they tell you about
Donnie Wahlberg, you kind of have to ignore
because he starts, it's like
a Garth Ennis character by the end.
of it. Like the mother's shit
and like, the mother shit is insane
because it's like, oh, he's a, because we're coding
him as like a loser. Yes, exactly.
But Kevin James is a loser.
Exactly. But he doesn't torture animals.
Do we actually ever see Kevin James's
home? We do it like twice. Like briefly.
The exterior. He runs into take a dump
or something. He runs home at one point and that's
the weird thing where you see
on, on the TV
in his house is an old episode
of the Sabrina
The Teenage Witch Show. Right. Yes.
Because the guy, there's, there's, there's two zoo weirdos.
It's Ken Jong and other guy.
Yes. Other guy, among many other things,
voiced Salem the cat on that show.
And wrote this movie.
Oh, is that right?
He co-wrote this movie.
He belongs to be in jail.
Yeah.
Oh, out-jixed.
Or a fucking gorilla cage.
But we need more time at the Kevin James home.
We need to see him lonely or whatever is happening.
Well, that's the thing.
That, that, that, that, that, it's the big difference is.
Donnie Walberg lives with his mom.
Kevin James lives alone with nobody.
If you're mapping this out right,
if our theory holds that this was just a Sandler movie
that he kicked down to one of his underlings,
the thing that all of those Sandler movies always have,
including up and two Hooby Halloween,
is like there's always some sort of parental something or other
or like dead parents.
The parents are dead,
the wedding singer, but they acknowledge it.
But what is that connection?
I guess because they're just baby men.
That's all the movies they make at Happy Madison.
And they also like no older funny people.
And they actually break like they have history with these people.
They've been around enough.
So there's older funny people in these movies.
There are like the lady from a happy Gilmore's fantastic.
The rapping lady is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're naming a movie that was like 20 years before this.
Who's that?
Well, the mother who turns out to be like the villain of June Squibb and the Hubey
Halloween is the same show around.
That's the thing. When you bring it, Adam Sandler has all of his friends over and all his friends are really fucking talented.
Yeah. Kevin James asks all of his friends to come over and make a movie. All of his friends are fucking the worst people in the world. It's Joe Rogan and his crew.
And the other guy from King of Queens who does the pizza guy voice, Gary Valentine, who I believe is his actual brother.
Bass Routen, this fucking the MMA guy. That's the guy who voices the wolf. But the way, who Gary,
Valentine, what guy's at? I believe he's
he does the pizza guy voice on the phone
when they're calling for all this
pizza. And that's his real life
brother? Yes, who's in. So why is it not
James? I think just because
Kevin James's name is actually like Kevin
I saw it on his IMDB. It's like
some of these fucking fake names
dude. That's it because if
your name is Sadak or Siska, you host a podcast.
If my name is Stephen, you know, whatever.
If I was Eric James, suddenly I'd be
a beloved fatman. It's exactly like when
my sister is doing theaters, she does not use her real name because
Jupin is not a fucking market. But written by Eric Sack. Right here. I just think
it's a bit of, yeah. Kevin, Kevin, Kevin James was born Kevin
George Nipfing. Nipfing. Nipfing. K Nip Fing. Can,
okay, listen, Sedaq and Siska. Fine. Not bad. Nipfing. This is
like a, like a titula, the vampire. It is. It's titula.
Breast you love?
What movies are you watching, dude?
I'm fucking better ones than this.
What am I watching here?
I got a Nip thing.
Honestly.
What is this Netflix show that he has?
Oh, it's like some.
NASCAR shit?
Yeah, it's NASCAR shit.
The crew?
He plays a NASCARman.
Life in the garage swerves off track for a NASCAR crew chief,
which I guess is him.
And his tight-knit racing team when a new boss steps in.
I'd rather be hit by a car.
car, then watch this.
Crew boss.
So he, the monk,
the gorilla demands to go to TGI Fridays.
Yes.
Well, you're so depressed, Bernie.
Let me help you out.
You'll wear a t-shirt and we're saying we're at a costume party.
And I mean, like this gorilla looks terrible.
Looks like trading places to gorilla.
But I mean, like, you would,
if you saw a fucking real gorilla,
like, holy shit, that's a real fucking gorilla.
Well, yeah, they're using.
I mean, also, when you're, from the moment,
Kevin James opens the door
and comes out to the actual zoo
with the gorilla. Start
seeing how many times you can say the word
fired before the end
of this sequence.
Like my fucking God
a million, not millions,
hundreds dead.
A fake gorilla would be drier.
This is like a wet gorilla.
This is when they're in the van and sing
an apple bottom jeans.
You can notice because every
time they go to have the gorilla,
to sing a part, it's very low.
Like, it's like,
right.
Yes.
That fucking song.
God damn it.
Was like the Macarena,
but for like 2010.
Like,
it was in like 70 movies.
I,
it was in Tropic Thunder.
Yeah.
It was in a bunch of movies.
I didn't recognize the song.
I forget where it,
the origin is,
it was for a movie I feel.
Who sings the song?
It's not TV.
I don't remember.
Fuck's an apple bottom gene.
What I don't even fucking mean?
I bet you it's in at least 30.
movies of that era. It is
all over that era.
So he like takes this gorilla on
a drive at first and they're singing
this song and just driving around
and then like they he was like
well it's getting a little bit late you know
or they go back you're like you fucking
fired. He ordered
30 oranges
at fucking TGI Fridays. Well that's what they
get to the restaurant. Oh sorry. I got one
more thing to show you
and you can see he stops the car
and the TGI Friday's logo is
reflected in the windshield and Nick Dalton
as the gorilla goes, shit
urp. That made me laugh, I'll be honest.
But yes, you orders 30 oranges.
Which is like, they don't have fresh
fucking fruit or produce
TGI Friday. I'm sorry, if it's not microwavable,
you're not getting it a TGI Friday.
You have better chance of getting uranium than you
do one orange at a TGI Friday.
Can you bring me a rod of uranium?
Some yellow cake for the table.
Frutonium, please.
Now I just put it on a nash out of your radium.
Okay.
It was Step Up 2.
Oh,
this was all over the fucking Flowrida and T-Pan.
Okay.
I guarantee you it's in thousands of movies.
Well, I saw Step Up 2, so I saw it there, I guess, in some capacity.
Yeah.
But so we're having a great time.
So he gets sturdy or just the woman is like, wow, it's a really realistic costume.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
You want to fuck, lady.
I want to fuck you in the bathroom.
This is fucking insane.
Well, you know why I think...
Oh my God, slow dancing the night away?
The Ghostbusters and a gorilla dance the night away.
Do you see who the server is though, TGF Friday?
It's Jackie Sandler.
Of course, dude.
Oh, you got to squeeze her in there.
But then this other lady, he's slow dancing.
Oh, yeah.
I got a fucking gorilla hard on.
If you were dancing with some...
If you were dancing with some...
somebody and you felt a monkey cock
against your leg, A, you would know
it's a monkey cock, and B, you'd be
terrified. Yeah, the whole
Fridays is massacred in one
quick, like, dude, does he get...
The smell of it, a gorilla getting aroused would
make you throw up. That's true. Whatever
fair bones are going on. But in the world
of this movie, I guess he gets laid, right?
I think he kind of does. Well,
there's a bunch of dumb shit that happens
here, including like,
where did he
get that guitar? I don't know where the guitar
It's a thing where it's like
we're having a crazy night
out. Sure. At the bar at
TGI Friday. It's just so great
there everyone. It's so wonderful. Everyone is
blasted, wasted,
you know, singing to the rafters
at the bar at TGI Friday.
And at one point Kevin James was just playing
this guitar that he go, like
this party gets so wild.
He smashes the guitar over
the bar. Like this is a chain
fucking restaurant, 45
minutes and go home. Where did the
can foosball table come from?
Yeah. News to me,
chain restaurants is having foosball tables in the middle of it.
My note for the slow dance
was even the gorilla knows how to be a better
human than Kevin James.
That's true. He can talk to a
woman better. That's actually
true. That says a lot of that.
You gotta go up to me like, hey man,
you got to do something. You got to be yourself.
I just go up to these ladies and I'm just like,
ah, you know, I'm a gorilla.
Hey, Kevin James, come here, quick, quick, quick, quick.
she wants to do coke in the bathroom
I never did coke before
said you coke with her in the bathroom
Is that gonna make me like really angry
Wanna punch stuff
Dude if so
That's that's the movie right
The movie just fucking turns on a dime
And he does coke in the TGR Friday's bathroom
And then it's like fucking ape rage
Yeah
Running through Boston
Aren't they making a movie
Heads off called cocaine gorilla or something
Pardon me?
I think there's a movie being made about
I think that's isn't it
Am I remembering this right?
Elizabeth Banks is directing it, speaking of...
That sounds right to me.
It sounds wonderful, but I have not heard of this.
It's based on a true story,
I think, of, like, a gorilla,
like, accidentally did a bunch of coke or something like that.
Oh, no, it's cocaine bear.
Elizabeth Banks movie.
Oh, it's a bear. Is that a monkey?
Yeah, so it's like a bear that has a lot of cocaine.
It's going to conflict with my project,
which is, hey, hey, gorilla massacre.
The bear who ate 80s.
pounds of cocaine.
Holy shit. That sounds like a great movie. And survived?
Damn.
Dude, I didn't see the movie yet.
Yeah, you don't want to go with him. He's got a peepy floppy car.
You want a big gross dick like mine.
Most unbelievable part of all this is like, so after the rager at TGI Fridays, they're sitting on the roof of this van.
And you're telling me, Kevin James and a full on gorilla.
Are laying on the roof of this van without structural collapse?
I don't think so.
No, it's flat.
It's a flat bed.
You can't just have a fucking huge gorilla on the roof of a car?
No, no.
Come on.
They start trying to get off and the fucking, all the tires pop at the same time.
Dude, and then in the saddest part of this whole movie, he's like, you know what, Kevin James?
You're my best friend.
That's not good.
What?
I mean, so the IRS has a gun to his head.
Is this how this works?
Nulti?
Yeah, I think he's got some tax problems.
I think that was, it had to be like,
ah, it's your sister and seven years in jail.
God damn it, I'm going to buy it's a fucking gorilla.
Sure, I love TGI Fridays.
Whatever the fuck you want, Adam.
Whatever you want, Adam.
All right.
How much extra if I actually sing the Florida song?
The florida.
Yeah, oh yeah.
Mango jeans, whatever the fuck it is.
Furry boots.
I love them.
Pay me.
I'm going to go.
away for a decade.
I can't do that time.
I'll die at the ass.
I will.
I'll sing T-Dash pain.
If I ever see that account,
I'll fucking strangle him.
And no, I don't want to be part of the happy Madison stable.
Lose my number.
If you lose it, call me again, I'm going to hire a real gorilla to rip you fucking balls off.
I go, hey, I would you ride butler.
Ro, if I ever see Rob Schneider near my house, I will put him into the sun.
God damn, someone sent Rob Schneider to Nick Nolte's have.
You would tear him limb from limb.
Rob Schinder's new thing is like the vaccines are fake or something.
I think, yeah.
Whatever he could be wrong about, he wants to be through.
Whatever will, whatever will help the public be remun.
minded over the fact that Rob Schneider
hasn't been dead in the ground
for 20 years. It's crazy
that he's not dead.
You know, it's sort of like
a Mandela effect.
No, that guy's dead.
No, Rob Schneider
died in like the 90s.
No, no, he's got like a show on Netflix.
Are you sure?
Like, right I think I'm in a different universe now. I don't think I was dead.
Right after Home Alone too. Just
boop. Drop dead.
Oh, man.
And if only jokes, satire parody.
Then it's the wedding.
And I think Cher finally comes up with the great idea.
The only way she'll like you is if she sees you with somebody else.
Well, I guess that incredibly gorgeous woman that I work with and flirt with all the time.
I can go on a fake date with her.
So that that incredibly gorgeous woman I used to date will like me again.
What I wouldn't do for Cher to be like, well, there's nobody, there's nobody.
gorgeous working at this. I guess
you're going to have to settle for Rosario
or me.
Take the lion. Because she
could talk, dude. She could talk.
And it worked with Nick Nolte. Exactly.
You put like a little like trench coat on. It's like
costume party. And then you fucking have a few
too many margaritas and you're banging
a lion. That's right, Kevin James.
I'll just put on this big blonde wig and I
could be your lion date.
It's been terrible
Share impression. I'll tell you one thing
about Gail, Kevin James.
I don't think he believes in love after love.
I don't think he does. Let's go dance.
I still can't get over this Leslie Bibb, Rosario,
Dawson, Kevin James.
Love triangle.
So he goes up to her and he's like, oh, please, please, please.
I'll give you half my lunch for the rest of the year.
What are you in grade school?
Of course he is.
I'm eating.
You see what this is? Kevin James.
This is a salad that I made from home.
I like my salad. That's all I need.
I don't want your fucking peanut butter and banana sandwich, you dick.
He definitely just tosses down a fucking Ziploc bag with a bad P.B.
and James guaranteed.
I don't understand how that is a thing.
Cut diagonally because he's a fucking psychopath.
Oh, my God.
That's the only thing I can relate to.
That's my-serial killer shit.
Oh, he's like me.
That's my famous sandwich, a BBM, a bacon, bacon and mayonnaise.
And she's like, no, thank you.
It's a bowel movement in mayonnaise.
Quick question, though, because she does fall in love with him.
Did she get hit in the head with a hammer, too?
She must have been.
There should have been a construction accident or something.
I'm going to be a little rude here.
Here we go.
What's more unrealistic?
Rosario Dawson and Kevin James hooking up.
Yeah.
Or Rosario Dawson and Brian Clerks 2's, not even Clerks 2's Brian O'Hallor.
Right.
Hooking up.
I think Kevin James makes a lot more sense.
I think Clerks 2 earns it more.
I haven't seen it forever since it came out.
But like, at least you see the relationship blossom in some way.
There's nothing to this.
I agree with Eric.
1,000% Brian O'Halloran in that movie never asks her to go on a fake date.
That's fair.
You know.
There's no, here's my lunch.
I'm a fucking baby.
Here's my lunch.
He like has a thing for her in that movie and acknowledges it.
Like, yeah, he's doing weird shit.
Like, oh, Beck's come into the back office and I'll paint.
your toenails, but we're not in a sexual
relationship, whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, like, it's way more fucking
believable. They're both unrealistic. Okay, thank
you, Eric. That's the answer I wanted. I mean, yeah,
we're talking about, like, which could I
fucking drive to first, Steve, Mars,
or Venus? Okay.
Yeah. If she's
introducing either as this is
my husband or my partner or my boyfriend,
I'm having a heart attack either way.
What?
But, like, in that
in that movie, there's certain
tender moments, however, fake
they might be or whatever. But in this, it's just, you saw my pissy floppy car.
Well, because, Brian O'Halloran never caught pissing in public. I'm sorry, you cannot come
back from having your little maggot pee out a little bit in front of this woman and have her
desire it. Well, definitely that's why it doesn't work with Leslie Bibb is because she saw him do
that next to drinks. Whereas like, yeah, at the cage, apparently Rosario Dawson doesn't
of a shit about her workplace.
No, no, no, no.
It's all over it.
But she's like, I'll do it.
That sounds like fun.
It'll be like an adventure.
I'm an idiot.
I have literally no life.
It's like that Saturday too.
Like, good luck.
She comes out in, I mean, like, it's Rosario Dawson.
She comes out in a moderately, uh, she did her hair.
She did her hair.
It's like a black dress.
It's a nice black dress.
Yeah, fuck it.
It's a smoke show.
Of course.
But it's, but it's, but he's like, oh my.
my God, wait, what?
And it's like, yeah, it's been Rosario Dosson the
whole time. Exactly. And she didn't even have
glasses on. Exactly. You took the words
right out of my mouth. It's ridiculous.
It's not hot for teacher, but some
hot for teacher-esque song
is playing. Bon or banjo.
Happy Madison, cool girl, dude.
Also, it's crazy. He starts
like fucking berating her. He's like,
no, you fucking dress too high, you stupid
idiot. Everyone's
going to know this is fake. You're too
She's like, I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with you, you maniac.
Hey, great detail, not to backtrack too far, but he leaves his cellular telephone with these animals, right?
Yeah.
And he's, you know, Nick Nulte, great line here.
All the animals are gathered around to see him off to the wedding.
He goes, if you get the jam, call us.
What?
Like, they call them like, oh, I don't know what to do, animals.
He does, but it's just like
Maybe you guys can attack the party.
Like, what the fuck would the help be?
Hold on a quick question.
Yeah, oh, you're totally help.
What's your wedding?
I have no conception to what that could be.
I ask not because of your thing,
but because that girl at T.J. Fridays asked me to get married.
I just knocked her up.
Oh, shit.
The condom broke.
No!
Sprayed my gorilla glue all over.
You wanted the monkey to fuck her.
And I did.
I fucked it.
Oh, gross.
Hey, Adam Sandler's monkey suggests to throw shit.
That's right.
And that's like a joke.
And then, like, Judd Apatow, whatever elephant is scared.
Mostly because he was abused previously in a video in 2005.
Take the flamethrower to that one.
But yeah, they go to the wedding and, like, you know,
Leslie Bibbs a bit jealous at first, but then it kind of subsides.
And then Joe Rogan's like, hey, we took this ballroom dance class.
And here we go.
Let's eat up four minutes off the clock.
This is crazy because, like, here's why this makes it, it's impossible.
Again, in a movie where animals are talking, this is a crazier thing.
Because you can tell this is like a hyper-man.
managed wedding.
It's insane.
It's big.
There's tons of people there, whatever.
There's absolutely no way that this bridal party would sanction
of fucking off the cuff.
The attention being brought off the bride and groom for this ballroom dancing.
No way with this.
It's a shi-lop anyway.
They did this big dance and then Kevin James like, oh my God, that's our song.
And Rosary Dossett has to be like, this was a huge mistake.
I really, I thought it was like an auspice.
like that was his way like he tried to you know trick he's quote unquote tricking me into going on a day
with him because like maybe I like this guy oh no this is a huge mistake yeah absolutely this is the
big this is the most pathetic part of the movie I can't take it because it's like she's having
fun with you they end up trying to dance yes and they're all over each other and he's like no no I got
to try to win this girl who didn't like me back this is when they do the there's I guess for some
reason, like that shit you do in yoga class, those
like weird rope. I was calling them
Cirque du Soleil's curtains. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. I don't know why they're there.
The things that you can swing on.
People working the wedding tell them
not to use them. Yes.
What are they there for? I don't know.
We had an exercise motif,
a theme for exercise.
I'm assuming there's a deleted scene where somebody
like they had a Cirque de Soleil person
to do something. There has to be. Also, why isn't
there like a surly father
of Kevin James and Nat Fax?
Why isn't there literally anyone at this wedding that is not their age range?
It's like the four,
it's like the four or five central characters of the movie.
Yeah.
And then a bunch of extras.
But you need to be a thing where the,
like there's a dad or uncle.
A toast.
Something.
Now Kevin James don't fuck this up again.
Do we even see the cake?
No, you don't.
And because the end of this movie should be the wedding.
It should just be like a 30-ish minute wedding scene where like a bunch of little shit happens.
And we all learn a lesson at the end.
He's like, you know what, Lizzie Bibb?
Go fucking.
yourself, I like Rosario Dawson. Also, monkeys can talk. And you can get like an animal jumps
out of the cake or whatever. Sure. That's the end of your movie. It's great. And here's the thing.
Here's how you naturally work in the animals to it. It's like, uh-oh, there was a problem at the
venue. Our wedding's ruined. Uh-uh. The hero zookeeper says, hey. It's going to feed all these
animals to you because he ran out of food. Come have the wedding at the zoo.
Animals can be there and it is dumb, but at least makes like structural stories.
sense. Instead of like the last
20 minutes of this movie, he's an evil car
sense. He could
neg a Leslie Bibbs saying she belongs
in the zoo. That's right. Oh, they belong
in the fucking gorilla cave. That's
the last thing that they get. I think that's
this is also from Sylvester Stallone line
where it's like, yeah. Oh, you got to treat her like
shit, dude. And right when she's
feeling really bad, you just
hit it with a compliment.
So like he goes up to her
after this insane aerial dance scene,
which I don't need to talk about. It's very silly. It's very
stupid. Here's the dumb part that's frustrating about
it though is eventually
like he like Rosario
stops doing it and Kevin James
like really gets into it and he's flying
around the whole room and of court
of course he's going to
humiliate himself. Yeah of course yeah but they
have way too many like
minutes going by of him flying
through the air and I'm like well
he's going to fall into something can we
just get to it where is the wedding
planner losing her goddamn mind
and that
In a Sandler movie, that would be a funny cameo from somebody.
He falls into this ice sculpture after totally knocking the legs out from under the bride and, like, making her fall down and is not asked to leave the wedding.
Matt Faxon's like, oh, she's cool.
Don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it.
I knew it was going to happen.
I just wish it was funny.
Like, you know, Chris Farley, one example.
Fucking Philip Seymour Hoffman and along came Polly.
One of the funniest fucking fat guy wedding type of shit you'll ever see.
Oh, God, yeah.
Him fucking slipping on that dance floor because of shoes.
Oh, my God.
Funny.
And this, I guess because like a lot of that shit and a lot of Farley's, you know,
yelling is unexpected in a way.
Right.
And this is just, you know what's going to happen.
You know, it's just Kevin James.
His body's going to barrel into something.
And he's just going to be like, I'm sorry.
He's going to yell.
He'll probably yell about something.
I just can't.
So he starts treating Leslie Bibb like shit.
She's like, oh, wow.
I wrote that this one.
Looking good freckle chest.
Yes.
A.K. you got freckles on your tits.
Remember?
Yeah, I remember what I saw those things?
I need dessert. Go.
Get me dessert.
Oh, right. Four words.
I need dessert now.
Desert first.
He does the reverse chair.
Oh, yeah. He pulls the slater.
You're sexy.
It's a, it's a Sylvesterlo line.
When you're overweight, you don't want to, like, steal her food and make you.
You don't want to make it about food.
It's what I'm, where I'm going here.
yeah i'm gonna i'm kevin james i'm gonna get a woman by yelling at her to feed me ice cream and shit
you don't want her to relate you to the consumption of food constantly like you know you can
you know fact can be power it's a powerful thing to be a larger man but what you don't want to be like
just hammering down her food and then your food because she's not gonna be like whoa he ain't
like four ice cream sunday i'm horny as fuck that's not
good and happy. That to me is
almost like I thought
I dreamt the Yergen scene
where... Oh, that's
coming up. Coming up, yeah. Because she's like
oh, well, he gets in the car
with Rosario Dossett and she's like, wow, that was so
much fun. It was like Robin and Bang and it was
yeah, it was so much fun. And the Luzziab was like,
hey, can you let this Puerto Rican
lady out of the car so I can ride it?
And everyone's like, that's uncomfortable, but that's pretty much
the point of the movie. And it's that thing where like
she, you get from when they
get back in the car, you get that like, Rosario
her character has been like, oh yeah, like, I want this dude's ding-dong.
Like, here it comes. Oh, yeah. I saw the, I saw the Pee-P floppycock. I want to see the other,
the other side of it. There was a brief, by the way, a brief moment when, uh, uh, Leslie Bibb goes
to get him desserts. Yes. Where, uh, Joe Rogan shows up. Oh, yeah. Talks down to Joe Rogan
and puts him in his place by pointing out that his name Gail belongs to a woman.
And you have a woman name.
isn't that funny
that is Kevin James's
humor I guess
He does it for like three minutes
And again if you're nine years old
You're slapping your knee
Because he has the same type of
Not funny insults at a party coming up later on
It gets really weirdly homophobic
Towards the end for like again
Like we're almost out of the woods here
Like the movie's almost over
But we forgot
So like whatever like she gets in the car
And she's like wow I really like you now
You need to quit
being a zookeeper and then be my boyfriend. And he's like, well, I guess I will quit being a zookeeper and be your boyfriend.
There's an insane thing where she's like, oh, tomorrow, like I've got, I'm going to this fashion show or whatever.
And he's like, oh, geez, I got to work tomorrow. And she's like, oh, well, I thought we were done with all that.
And then in like his badass mode, he's like, yeah, you know what? Let's somebody else zoo keep tomorrow.
And I'm like, all right, I guess these animals will feed them.
or just call it a work like every
American's always done when they had it
something else up. But you know, no, no, I'm going to quit
my job and at the end of the movie
I'm just going to go back like it didn't happen
and that's fine. He canstanzas. He does.
He totally castanzas and then he steals
a fucking truck or whatever
with an ape or the
gorilla or whatever. I don't know the differences.
At the fashion show, there's
a whatever, an effect German
gentleman with the dog and
this is what he's like, you look like an old lady.
Hey, Siegfried, where's wrong?
And all those people.
Where's the chocolate factory, Willie Wonk?
And then he laughs at his own jokes.
Like,
he's like,
yes,
you're belittling this fashion designer.
Go, fat guy, go.
But it's not nearly as big
as what he puts his sights back on Leslie Bibb.
He's like,
who let this one out of the barn?
Yeah.
I'm like, Jesus, man.
It's this weird thing where like this guy,
Yergan is shitty to him.
Yes, sure.
So then it's this whole thing where like.
It calls up like a chaotic pile
who's ruining the vibes.
Accurate. A waste of space, which I think is quite accurate.
All accurate, Yergan. Yergan, most intelligent character in the film.
Love Yergan. But, like, Kevin James takes that as like, oh, the way people run in this animal pack is they're all fucking nasty to each other. So that's what I'm going to do.
And that's what works. He becomes the most popular guy at the fucking fashion show.
Which makes it a sense. No, it does not. He would not be allowed in. And he goes to Rosarian Dosson and tells her that he's quitting and she's heartbroken.
Leslie Bill says to him
I really just think that zoo is holding you back
Come on
It's a steady job
He's the senior zookeeper
It's a big job
It's a big zoo
In a city
This is when like time stops making sense
Because he quits
And then it seems like he's moved in
With Leslie Binn
Yes
He has a job with his brother
At the fancy car export thing
It's all like European small car
things, which he's too fat
to get into.
Now, I think
I'm accurate here.
What's really dumb about this is he
takes the job at the dealership
and works a whole shift.
And then goes to the zoo and is like,
hey, by the way, I think I'm going to quit. Yes, I think that's
right. Yeah. Okay.
He's like, I'm doing this now.
He's become a star at the car dealership
by the time he quits the our job.
So there must be a month there.
where he is just all day long.
Burned the candle at both ends or something?
Yeah, just doing the two jobs
and then getting like one hand job a week from Leslie Bibb.
Well, this is what the movie becomes.
Remember in that Simpsons episode
when they rebuild Ned Flanders' house?
And they're like, this is your bedroom.
And it's like, it's like the fourth perspective,
but it's actually actually gets smaller.
And then it's your master bit.
Barney's on the inside.
Oh, something's not right there.
Because it's like, that's how like shoddy the rest of this movie is.
Big time.
from a narrative standpoint.
Yeah, we ran out of carpeting,
so we just painted the dirt.
Pretty clever.
It's exactly that.
So what if he,
I don't know,
kind of like belittles
this other car dealership guy
for a little bit?
That'd be good for some laughs,
right?
Who's this other guy?
I thought for,
I thought twice in this,
in two separate scenes
that this was Steve Ran Azisi.
Although this is,
he's been,
he's in like almost every scene
that Nat Faxon is in.
This guy is also in
just so that fucking can
Kevin James is better than him.
By the way, not to miss the nepotism.
Remember at the start of his time
at the car dealership, he sells that dude
the little like motorcycle or whatever the fuck it is
four by four.
Adam Sandler's nephew, if you can even
live it. Oh, wow. Oh, good for him.
Oh, he's in sack now, good.
You're going to pay me more if you put your fucking nephew in it.
This is money laundering Adam. That's what I got in trouble for.
Learn for my fucking mistakes.
Then you'll end up in zoo.
Oh, you are in Zookeeper.
Okay, but imagine a movie you didn't want to be it.
Also, just general advice.
Stick with the normal drugs.
It gives you a real stigma if you go from the path.
If it's from the ground, chop it down.
So what happens here?
Leslie Bibb decides she made a mistake those five years ago.
and proposes to them.
They go back to her apartment.
This is a silly chair situation.
They never, do they explain what she does in the movie?
No.
What she does?
They don't explain if they're living together.
It's a woman.
Why would we say anything about it?
I mean, I guess like, yeah, he is selling these, like, import cars and like, you know,
the commission, I need to do these.
I'm sure is fucking sweet, but like, that takes a little while for the, you got to put
your W-9.
Again, no, with like, with the timing of all of this, you're totally right because it's
like, yeah, you can make that kind of sick money selling cars.
Don't even worry about it.
But like it seems like it takes two weeks and they have this fucking gorgeous apartment.
She's buying a chair that there's only 15 of in the world.
And to be clear, we'd never, never find out what she's just a buyer for sacks.
Is that it?
You got more than me if you heard that.
I think that's what I got.
I have no idea what she does.
I just know women don't really do things.
Rosario Dawson, like she tries to.
revived that line. And that's the last we ever see of her literally doing anything.
She's resorted the only other time she's like working at the zoo. She's given tours and
eating a salad and like fucking Leslie Bibb is just like it's like it is literally like the
women be shopping jokes. She's like I'm going to buy this and I bought this and that's the other
thing. And I'm going to do. Yeah. And I'm slitting myself in the tub. And oh,
then tomorrow we have an absent tasting. Isn't that going to be great? I'm kind of saying.
Oh, wow, I totally missed that.
I have to admit, like the last 25 minutes of this movie,
I was surfing the web.
How could you do that?
I was looking at the internet, man.
Not even the IMDB for the movie.
I was just reading things on the internet.
The whole thing is he feels very bad because you get your grandpa to buy a Lamborghini.
Oh, right.
Oh, right.
This old guy's like, well, I don't know.
I have grandchildren.
And he's got some line like, oh, you could stick him behind the seat here
and pretend they're, like, hiding.
Like, you kidnapped your own.
Oh, well, I have kidnapped my own grave.
How did you know?
Wait.
Oh, now I have to kill you, too.
Oh, you know about the Red Shack off of Route 9?
Oh, you'll have to go, too.
Yeah, so they call me the Yellow King.
But, yeah, I mean, like, you see the apartment thing, and she's doing the yoga,
and that's kind of like the last straw for him,
and then they go back to the dealership, and,
he the final straw with that is like he's racing again to the god with his little
rival or whatever yeah the rival to like sell this fucking high roller a car and he's doing the
stupid Kevin James fast walk and realizes like no I don't want this and stops and then that's
when Leslie Bibb corners him and again man public proposals no way in front of this whole
dealership yeah she's like I made a mistake and will you marry me
me and he does he says exactly what she said back to him and like someone in the audience was
clapping I bet uh not in mind give it to her yeah it's important to also state that during
his time as the evil car dealer when he goes to tell Nick Nalty that he's quitting the zoo he's
like I always knew that humans lie and I can't believe I trusted you and we had all those
funions and totally fair totally
Or TGF Fridays, right?
If you see that lady, Rebecca,
pretend you don't know me.
If they're not poking you with a real nail stick,
they're poking your feelings with a nail stick.
If you see a kid that looks like a human Z, keep walking.
Don't give him my address.
Oh, God, I did a crime against nature.
He actually, the only positive thing he does, like, during,
his time as an asshole is when he tells Donnie Walberg
that if he ever hears about him hurting the animals
ever again, he's going to go to his house and beat him
in front of his mother. But that's happy Madison fucking tough guy
shit. Yeah. Tough guy. I mean, he does do it. Let's just get
this. Yeah, whatever. Whatever. So like the Mary,
she has a mariachi ban with this proposal. He says like, it's not going to
happen. I hate who I've become. Blah, blah, blah. Oh, what? Kate's
leaving for Africa tonight on a 9-50.
flight. Oh, the ostrich from the zoo wants to give me a free ride. Okay, the ostrich is now dead because I sat on it. What's going to happen now? Oh, we're going to steal a car with the gorilla, of course, and drive to the airport. There is, okay, pause for the other time I laughed kind of loudly in this was like the gorilla gets in the driver's seat and Kevin James is like, no, no, no, no. And it's Nick Nolty. He's like, no, no, no. I got it.
this and the music
swells up and it's this like big
momentous moment and the van
just kind of scoots a little bit forward
and crashes into a car
yeah yeah it's got nothing to do with Kevin
James it's got nothing to do with silly voices
it's a fucking gorilla saying he can drive
a car and then doesn't I'm sorry
I shot Arby's shy and just hunger
overtook me there's a distracted
driving situation
but he goes to Donnie Walberg's house
and he kicks he gives him this
X-Men kid too I mean
comic dick kick or whatever.
Like, he kicks him into the dry wall, like, the wall.
You're trying to get this woman at the airport, a common rom-com ending,
but you're stopping to fight Donnie Walbert.
Because we forgot that we had that in the movie and we had to...
He gets stuck through this wall like it's the Matrix fights.
Ma!
Oh, he's screaming for his mom.
It's kind of something.
The funny thing here, though, is when Kevin James burst into the room,
I think the gag is Donnie Walberg's watching porn on his computer.
He gets kicked into the next world
and blah blah blah
There's a lot of like
A lot of chasing we're rowboating for a while
Dude we're just fucking rowing down the Charles
And it's
It is fucking stupid
And again I mean
I'm sorry
A gorilla one can definitely not just casually
Lay on the roof of a car
A gorilla definitely
Cannot sit in a fucking kayak
Yeah, not great.
No.
Not buoyant animals.
Your movie can be 95 minutes also, by the way.
It would have been totally fine.
It's about a fucking zookeeper.
Okay, man.
And he finds wife despite being the worst person in this fucking hemisphere.
Here's the thing I just realized, too, if you went the route of like he gets electrocuted or whatever and you can hear them.
Yeah.
The end of the movie is he gets electrocuted again and he can't hear them.
But like one of the animals.
like does something like affectionate to him.
And like that's, it's something.
It's a movie.
You're making a movie there, Andrew.
You can't do that.
Not in the Happy Madison offices.
Someone should have fucking sent them a memo that was like,
by the way, your sole responsibility is to make a real movie.
He like, the gorilla climbs the bridge with him on his back.
Get on.
We're going for a climb.
He should have been, hey, get on.
You want to get high?
If we do this, you better buy me fucking Burger King
because I need more guerrilla diarrhea.
I would like to die.
I need more diarrhea that you're going to mop up.
Clean my ass.
So what, they find her on the bridge.
The monkey, I mean, the gorilla falls and lands on a taxi or something.
He says like, oh, I love you.
It took me five.
five years to get over someone I didn't love.
I can't imagine how long it would take for me
to get over you. That's so sweet.
You know what? Delivered in a better movie, that line
would play. I fucking guarantee it.
It's not a badly written line, but him
just marble farting it out of his mouth.
It's Kevin James.
He can't be compelling. Stop it.
You literally can't be.
No, I'm going to Nairobi. I get like paid
three times more. It's kind of a dream of mine.
And we're not dating. And you're a fucking mess, dude.
Goodbye.
Like, I'm not losing money on this plane.
ticket. I already got all the fucking vaccinations.
Exactly. Come on.
But no, and then it's six months later.
Nick Nalti gorilla has a view
at like the top of the zoo, which is
listen, Nick Nalti is the only character
of this movie I feel anything for.
Sure, it's a gorilla. It's a gorilla.
Because we should say the thing is he
when he goes to like tell Kevin
James or when Kevin James goes
to tell Nick Nolte the gorilla that he's going to stay,
he notices that there's like a cut on his eye
and it's like, oh, what happened to your eyes?
Like, nothing, I fell in to a door.
And, like, that's what prompts him to pull over at Donnie Walberg.
The idea of abusing a gorilla.
I mean, my God, dude, take your life in your own hands.
That's true.
That's true.
Easier to abuse humans.
And just, I mean, wherever Nicholas Satoro is jerking off for the day, like, you imagine
somebody would be like, why is this fucking gorilla have an open head wound?
Again, where are the security cameras in this facility?
So the ending lines or whatever, like he's either the guerrilla and Kevin James and the and the, the gorilla says, what the heck is Beni Hana?
Got your eyes odds.
Still got your Izzod.
We're saying the polo brand Izod, which is exclusive to like J.C. Betty or the also Benny Hanna fucking chain that has not been relevant since like the early 90s.
But I mean, that's who these movies are for or guys who have not been relevant.
since the early 90s.
Guys who think
that Benny Hana is still
like a hot date.
Like there are
Benihana's we're still
around.
They just aren't a huge brand anymore.
It's for like
toxic masculine
Gen X runoff.
That's what Happy Madison is for.
It reminds me of the gag
in Ghostbusters 2
where it's like
Bill Murray
thinks the good idea
for a date.
He's like me and you
two for one
all you can eat
rib night at the sizzler.
It's just like
that's not real.
Literally.
Papaya King is better than that.
Oh, for sure. Absolutely. And they keep closing down
the papaya king. God damn it. So the one
on like 14th and first closed, I think. I saw
that other day. Oh, really? Oh, fuck. I think they're all
going away, which is, which is a sad era. I noticed
over the weekend, the one down in the West Village there,
around West 4th is still there. I noticed it too, because I ate some
papaya dogs. Get out of it. Oh, I should have. I am jealous on us.
I think the one up at 74th is still there too, I want to say.
Oh, the famous dialogue.
I think there might be one or two flagships left.
But this is a terrible movie, ladies and gentlemen.
It absolutely is.
And it's over.
It had five screenwriters.
The thing that sucks is like you,
the more than a feeling over the credits,
it's terrible.
It's even worse because like you're getting the gift of share singing.
Yeah.
And you can't even hear it clearly.
because all these fucking other actor
because Cher doesn't do a voice.
Shere's just doing Sherr's just doing Sylvester Stallone.
But when he's singing, my God,
and it's Sandler's,
Blah, blah, blah, whee, wah.
Maya Rudolph is doing a very eccentric voice.
That's true.
Yeah, she's going crazy.
I don't know what that was.
But it's like, I was sitting there, like putting,
like, cupping my ear being like,
I can hear Cher singing.
Like, let me just hear that clean.
It's because they're also playing the song itself.
They're not even played the karaoke version.
You're totally right.
They're just playing it.
So it's that version plus all the other version.
Plus Sandler.
It's terrible.
It's a mess.
And then like there's bloopers and literally folks, I turned the bloopers off.
I was like, no, I turned them off too because I did not have fun watching this.
And I didn't want to enjoy any of your bloopers and or practical jokes.
Clearly this is a four way not recommend.
But any final thoughts on the zookeeper, Steve Sannick?
Or just zookeeper.
I should say there is a movie called The Zookeeper.
So this is Zookeeper.
And the Zookeeper's wife is not a sequel?
It is not.
That's a movie about a zoo during
the Holocaust.
Oh, okay.
I guarantee it's funnier.
And Jessica Justin,
whoopo do bahama.
No, I would not recommend it.
No. I just think the Happy Madison brand
as it has been,
I mean, you know, again, I like Sandler.
Like, you could do some stuff.
But the brand that he has created
is toxic.
It's a toxic house of
rotten ideas.
And this is a in that house style.
And Kevin James,
I've just never cared for it.
Just never have,
never will.
Chris Cabin.
It's horror.
I mean,
this really was a mold.
They created a mold with the Sandler stuff.
And like they just do it.
Like they changed the little tiniest details.
But that's generally it.
This is directed by Frank Karachi who has done the one Adam Sandler movie I'm told is like
one of the most racist movies of like the last like 10 years.
Something called blended.
He's generally, uh, the movies of his I've seen have made me want to die very badly.
Uh, this is no exception. So yeah. No, no, no, no. It's also a no for me. Um, I mean, I, I'm not
against Sandler or Happy Madison necessarily. I like Billy Madison. I like, uh, Happy Gilmore,
the namesakes, but there's not much there otherwise. I thought Hubey Halloween was better than a lot of
the recent output in terms of
comedy. But obviously Sandler
can act and he's got great performances
on cut gems, et cetera.
But this is fucking dog shit and I really
hate it. And I agree with Steve about
Kevin James. I just cannot.
I just can't.
Yeah. I don't care
for this. And I think of anything,
these parts
of the Happy Madison world
exemplify better than
anything that like Sandler
movies are not a like just at
water situation.
Like, there is something to be said for, like, these movies are better when Sandler is
starring in them and not just voicing a monkey.
And, yeah, you know what?
I, it's a few days before Halloween when we're recording this.
I may still rewatch Hoobie Halloween over this weekend.
I thought that was funny.
This is not.
I've also never cared for Kevin James, aside from the one stand-up special a hundred years
ago where he has the, whatever one was the bit where he's about the unlocking the car door
Sweat the small stuff. I think
was funny. But like
the transfer into acting, I never bought it.
I don't care for it here. This is
dreadful. And a waste of like
what's, I guess the most frustrating, a waste of a lot
of really talented people doing these
voices and whatever. Faber is funny.
Can be funny and all that stuff. Yeah, face on love
is great. Like, whatever. This is a bad movie.
This is, yeah.
It was a real like
testing my faith in cinema. I do want to
say good comedy on the
Patreon this month. We're doing
Ghostbusters, 1984, the OG Ghostbusters.
We already recorded it two and a half hour, a little over two and a half hour episode.
It's a long one, big boy.
And it was a lot of fun. And that movie held up even more than I thought.
But that's going to do it for Zookeeper, directed by Frank Karachi from 2011, shows you how long we've been on the air.
We literally talked about, maybe we'd talk about this someday 10 years ago.
Here we are 10 years later, finally doing it.
But that's going to do it for this.
As always, like Eric said, patreon.com slash we hate movies.
There's a lot of great bonus content up there.
And as always, here on the main feed, the show will continue next week.
Steve, what are we going to be chatting about?
We are going back to Arnold country.
There's so many of me, Danny.
Oh, no, not Danny.
It is the sixth day, the clone Arnold.
Oh, no, I've been cloned.
You're talking about my movie.
He's in my house, eating my birthday cake.
Watching my movie on my DVD player.
Oh, man, it should be a lot of fun next year.
Yeah, I'm pumped.
I haven't revisited this one since Chris and I saw it in theaters in high school.
I saw this movie, On a Bus.
That's the best place to watch the sixth day.
So until next week with Arnold coming back to the program, I'm Andrew Jupin.
Stephen Seda.
Eric Siski.
Chris Gavin.
Take it easy.
Boo-bo-bo-Baboo.
That was a hit-gum podcast.
