This week on the program, Listen to Request Month kicks off with Martin Landau getting a lot of wood.
It's The Adventures of Pinocchio. I'm Andrew Jupin.
Stephen Siddak.
Eric Siska. Chris Cabino.
And we hate movies.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to We Hate Movies. Thank you for tuning in. As always, I'm stoked because this is the start of listener request month.
well it doesn't mean anything
except the cool thing is what I should have said
I haven't even started drinking yet
but I guess I'm intimidated
because I'm looking at three handsome fuckers
back in studio
we're back IRL
It's very wild
We haven't been in person since like early December
But you wouldn't know it from the quality
Top notch content we put out every week
You would think you know
We're doing this is the Adventures of Pinocchio
It's the first one
You would really think
the you couldn't get scarier than the
Roberto Benini one you think
on its face it can't get scarier than
that yeah no what's that that's he's like
wearing little pajamas he is wearing pajamas
he's like all like I'm a creepy old
Italian guy the whole time he's just saying
I'm Pinocchio no that's in the
Roberto Benini the first one he's
Pinocchio yeah and then he did
another one where he's Geppetto
really how does that work
law passed in Italy like listen dude
you gotta redo that and you got to be fucking
Geppetto maybe you could be the cat or something
You cannot be Pinocchio anymore
You're 65 years old
Give it two decades
And Luca Guadino
We'll do one where he's the whale
Oh
That's fucking Italians, man
They love this Pinocchio, don't they?
They love him
They love him
And I do not share that
Is it like Italian Superman?
It's just like that's what they worship
This little fucker
Mamma Mia indeed
I only watched the Disney animated one
Like in its entirety
Three weeks ago
Ever?
Really?
It's good pieces of it here and there
I think we had it on tape
But I never super paid attention
I watched, I grew up with it, I watched, it was probably my favorite Disney for a long time, maybe before Aladdin came out, kind of a deal, like, right? Like, as a kid that's dethroned it real quick. It did. I remember. I had rankings, though, a little kid. Aladdin was for the boys for sure. Like Lion King was for everybody, but like Aladdin is for the boy. Of course. Do you see that Princess Jasmine? Right. No, but it's got Robin Williams. It's a, it's a boy hero doing boy things. They hide like Cox in the, in the, in the movie, right? That was a little mermaid.
there was a fucking huge
long
oh right
there's well there was two
the cover of the VHS
clamshell case
had a couple of like
the palace
yeah
underwater palace things
is just huge
fucking throbbing
juicy dicks
look at that
look at that folks
this is an animation
for you
and then like
anything in there
what is it
the end of the movie
when they're getting
married
and there's a priest
and he fucking
totally had wood
yeah
in law
in what do you call it
in Aladdin
there is
take off your clothes
There's a moment of that
You know why I know that
Because an art teacher
He loved two things
Taking off your clothes
He loved an art teacher
He loved
Disney movies
And the wacky weird sex stuff
That went on
And getting arrested
For blackmailing children
Into making pornography
Really?
Yeah
Oh he went away for a long time
So is he out now?
He is out
Me and my buddy saw
Tracked him down
And pushed him down
The stairs and killed him
Try to get some of his old material
That's drag him out
At his halfway house
We were buying beer years later, and we saw this fucker in a Pathmark, and it was, it was not a good look.
I gave this, Stephen.
Oh, no, we were like, oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck. But it was just like, dude, and in aisle four, a ruined man.
I mean, it's not as bad as prison, but being sentenced to having to shop at Pathmark for the entire life is pretty bad.
The judge decreed it was the only grocery chain you can use.
it was a Catholic school
Yeah oh yeah
All boys Catholic school
If you could believe it
One of the odds
This is the Adventures of Pinocchio
By the way from 1996
Directed by Steve Barron
And when I looked at this for the first time
I thought it said Steve Bannon
And I was like
That's an interesting tidbit
Oh he slipped one in
He wasn't just producing
Oh here's one for hashtag resistance people
One of that guy's nose grew
With every lie he told
Oh man can you imagine
His disgusting red alcoholic
It was just growing out like that.
It would just burst because of all the postules and what have you.
It would get in long and red and gross like that.
It would look like Freddie Krueger's dick.
Every time you lie, one more vein becomes visible on your face.
That was the curse.
As I mentioned, this is indeed listener request month, which means a gentle listener
requested we talk about this.
This was called in from Heidi from Arkansas.
Let's listen to what she had to say.
Hey, gang, this is Heidi from Arkansas, and I would like to request the Adventures of Pinocchio from the Year of Our Lord 1996.
Don't bring him into this.
It is a weird fever dream of a film that I would love to hear y'all's thoughts on.
Thank you.
Well, thank you, Heidi.
That is an amazing request.
I'm so happy we're doing this.
I feel like I've never seen.
I thought I never saw this, but the donkey slide later on.
I feel like triggered something in me that maybe I had seen it.
Wow.
I mean, it triggered something for me, too.
My gag reflex started acting up.
I needed to go to a fucking chill-out tent after watching this last night.
I needed some orange slices and a glass of ice water to just hang out.
It is crazy that this is for children.
Oh, yeah.
Never in my life did I think, did I ever think, like, stop and, like, sit and be like,
oh, man, did the weed go bad until last night?
That donkey slides was.
I will say, though, the
Disney classic donkey scene
is chilling.
That's the thing.
I definitely saw that movie growing up.
I don't remember many of the details at all.
So I guess the donkey thing is in there.
And the whale is the whale is in there as well.
Wow.
I really like the original.
I think the original is a good movie.
And it's like, what, 63 minutes long?
Oh, that's all the God for that.
You're in and you're out.
You are ending the route.
But like what does the,
this fucking abomination have
that the Disney one doesn't
like the Rob Schneider
well obviously JTT but like
the Rob Schneider and B.B. Newworth
characters but they were like
animals the whole time.
Character like I forget
him completely in the original
I mean there is
he is in the original
the name is different there's always like a
fucking weird pervert that wants to put
Pinocchio in the show
yeah we're trying to put this boy puppet to work
And then whatever happens in that version, you know,
I think you like locks him in a cage.
Just like now, you know, you know, kind of a thing.
Like, oh, yeah, you're a big star.
You want to be a fucking star, don't you?
Come on, Pinocchio.
This is what it takes to get to the top.
So was Rob Schneider's troll hustler in the original?
I'm completely blanking.
You know what he looks like in this movie is that fucking Johnny Depp Madhatter.
Yes, yes, like those Burton movies, it's disgusting.
By the way, I read Udo Kier in the sequel they made in this movie.
Yes, there's the new adventures of Pinocchio.
Udo Kier plays a woman in that one for some reason.
Not only a woman, his character in this movie
Who Dies, that character's ex-wife, it says, on Wikipedia.
Yes, I played my own ex-wife in the Pinocchio sequence.
Udo Kier having sex with Udo Kier.
You know what?
I'd watch that for sure.
We have a little baby cure.
Two Udo's one cup.
I'd like that.
Oh, my God.
Can I say this movie starts out with the single most disgusting, pathetic production company logo I've ever seen in my life.
What, Savoy?
No, not the Savoy.
The one that comes before Savoy that's like, this is how this got on video.
Like, whatever that forgettable company is.
It looks like the video store logo, like popcorn video or something like that.
It is awful.
And then, yeah, you have Savoy pictures.
And I guess the whole story with this was like Savoy was going to put it out.
And they fucking just went bankrupt.
and dissolved. And so
new line of all people bought the
movie and put it out
it was their first G-rated release.
You know, I kind of get it. It
has a certain mask-like energy
to it, a manic maniac
kind of, like
the
the cricket, Jiminy Cricket in this one.
You mean Pepe?
Pepe, sorry.
Has a son of the
mask-esque visage.
That's true. I mean, this is
1996 total CGI of that cricket is disgusting.
It's bad.
The other thing that caught my eye on the, you know,
opening scroll is like Pangella Holdings.
Anytime a holding company is like listed as a production company,
you know shit was tight.
Laundry services right there.
Exactly.
I mean, the funny thing.
I got paid and blow.
Martin Lando, I won the Oscar,
then everything else after that.
Paid in blow.
You know, it used to be better.
You could get some horse, too.
They would do, they would mix it up a little bit for you.
But now it's just cocaine, a mountain of cocaine to play this Italian idiot.
That's what Hitchcock used to do.
They used to give, here's your mix of horse and Coke.
Fantastic.
I like Downers.
I feel like I've been freaking out on set too much.
Oh, yes, you should be scared.
ad. I'm so hard.
But fuck, dude, you make
me realize he's coming off the Oscar
playing then. Yes, he is.
That's pathetic. It's bad.
I mean, look, you should say it's
it's for Edward. Right. Yes.
Hell yeah. Everyone remembers the classic
line, which is apt here. Pulled the
strings. Yeah, totally. Pulled the strings. I would have
liked to have seen Martin Landau fighting a
giant puppet spider like he does in that
movie. Yes. Oh my God. Or Octav.
Oh, it's an octopus, you're totally right.
That's right. I did all my own stunts in that movie.
And by that, I mean doing my own shots of heroin.
Then I laid down in the kiddie pool, fought an octopus pool toy.
It took me 40 years, but I went method once and I never looked back.
I kept on seeing, I tried to kick it and I kept on seeing a baby on the ceiling.
So it begins, Martin Lando has like been shunned.
from society. He's in the woods.
No, it's something like that. He's like,
something like that. Here's what it is. Jepetto. Jepetto has two hustles
going at the same time. One is what we know as like the puppet maker,
right? Freak. But then the other thing, because he mentions this
at one point where he's like, he's, he said, no, God, it's not Steve's art teacher.
No, he says something. I called himself Jepado.
That's probably, yeah, because he was the puppet master indeed. Dude, if he was a character
from the original Disney Pinocchio, he'd be
Monscrow, okay?
All right, Operation
Geppetto is a go.
We got to take this guy down.
Sorry, so two things.
Oh, no, because the other thing is he has some line
where he's like, after he makes
Pinocchio, he's like, yes, you will
be able to sit here and watch all of my other
puppets while I am at work.
The other work thing is he chops
wood and sells it in the marketplace.
Because there's that scene where he's like,
wood, wood for sale.
And then this gang of young boys runs by like,
fuck you old man.
But pushes it all, like pushes his wheelbarrow over.
Because the cricket is doing the narration at first and he's like,
he wasn't like everybody else.
He understand.
But then he, so he carves his name, this lady we want.
This is the past.
And he's carving a heart with these names.
And you start hearing what young Landau is supposed to sound like.
And it sounds like Werner Herzog.
These puppets, they stare back from the abyss
And look straight through my soul
My love was never accepted in the real world
So I took it to the woods
And I created a wooden boy
What's insane is you come to find out
That this man has been so miserable
Because he was in love with his brother's wife
Well, this is the problem
It's a huge problem for the movie
Because it's different than at least the Disney one
and even like looking cursorily
what the book summary was.
It's different than that too.
And it's a fine little thing
where it's like,
oh,
he was in love with his brother's wife
and that was love for everybody.
But the narraries was like,
oh yeah,
he was out there
and he was carving his name
into his name of him and Leona,
name into the wood there.
And then it's like,
okay.
And he's like,
and then the woods kept his secret.
And I'm like,
what the fuck does that be?
That's where they buried
the bodies under the tree.
That's why I get shunned from.
I'm like,
what the fuck is that about, man?
There's definitely some like layer of druid magic going on in this woods, right?
It's also like there's this weird like who frame Roger Rabbit,
like his brother died before the movie.
Like he's killed by a tune in a different case.
Then start hitting that, fella.
What are you doing?
I mean, move right in, dude.
He's like, oh, he's pining for this woman or whatever.
He's just an insult in this movie, right?
He's a weird, twisted loner.
Thank God.
guns hadn't been invented yet.
Oh, yeah. I mean, when you get starts him
just fucking yamming
at these fucking dolls in his little
house. It's insane. But he gets,
so he gets the log that will become
Pinocchio, much like Homer gets his bat
would. You're totally right.
Lightning strikes it and
it glows. And he's like, well,
I have to take this back. I guess
another little friend for me.
Oh, man. It's, yeah,
he's an insult. He's on Reddit a lot,
which means he's writing on trees about
fucking tiny can't get laid
redwood trees. Yeah.
Oh my God. I heard
he carved that puppet himself
from a bigger puppet.
Which I know is the Homer
spoon joke. Yeah, it's still
could work. Mary Shelley
stole all her
ideas.
Oh man. I think the first
Reddit post was like
fucking Martin Luther
on that church store, right? Yeah, totally.
That was a rant. That was a
Flame War. That isabel Archer. She was a Mary Sue. I don't even know what that is.
You carved all that into a tree? Yes. Oh, no, the comment section, the tree is getting smaller and smaller.
Dude, so you get a little bit, like, he comes home from getting the magic log and he doesn't know it's magic.
Magic logs, by the way, that's like when a magician takes a shit.
make a turd disappear
that's what flushing is for
yeah exactly make turds disappear every day dude
I might say alecazam tomorrow morning
you know really yell it dude
you gotta really yell it
so the whole building
if you had a time machine
like bringing around a toilet
that'd be a great prop comedy
that's true where did it go
so he's like talking to these marionettes
It is bone-chilling.
You're going to shoot up a post office shit.
Absolutely.
And so he starts, he's like, oh, it's so cold.
I'm going to burn this magic sparkling log that I found.
And he throws it on the fire.
I would have loved it, which he starts howling.
It throws itself out of the fire.
And this is, I feel, a case of not an appropriate reaction.
He's like, oh, this log just doesn't want to burn.
And I was like, no, it threw it, it ejected itself out of your fireplace, sir.
Oh, another living log, the fifth one this week.
I'll put it in the back with the other ones.
The thing that living log, you want me to stab women in the town square?
Okay.
I'm sorry, the log told me to.
I realize, though, this is a classic case of, like, what you can get away with an animation
and, like, what you'll be more forgiving toward an animation versus,
live action. And, like, that cartoon
Geppetto, he can talk to puppets
all the live long day and it's not weird.
Martin Landau, talking
to a marionette is fucking terrified.
Well, he's also, yeah, in the beginning he's like,
oh, you two are fighting, you two puppets
are fighting. Gotta keep you apart.
And did you see what's going
on there, though, with the keep him apart?
And he's doing the two puppets.
And it kind of, it's not
this, ladies and gentlemen. He's definitely
doing it, though. It looks like
one of the, but he puts the face of the one
puppet and the other. So it looks like it's sucking him off.
Yep. He's definitely making these things
fuck. 100%. Oh, you
whore. Stop doing that. Stop doing that to your friend.
You whore. Stop that. Dude, he gets like a little corkscrew,
makes him a little anus.
Oh, I'm going to, this weekend we're going to have
another puppet wedding.
Here you go, down the aisle.
Uh-oh, Princess Kashmir's pregnant.
Looks like there's going to be a puppet baby.
He starts carving. He probably invented the wood light
instead of the front flashlight.
No way.
You can't be fucking a piece of wood that you hollowed out, dude.
Okay.
Splitter dick.
Okay.
I forgive you for blowing Ferdinand.
But you're going to have to be punished, little princess.
I'm taking a splinter out of your ass.
Oh, and the Duke has to watch.
He's a real looky loo that duke.
I wonder if you sanded enough, it would be okay.
No, but at the same time, maybe he likes the punishment.
Oh, that's what I get for not being with Leonardo.
Oh, that's true.
You'd really have to lacquer the shit out of that thing.
Big time.
I lacquered it with my tongue.
I can't believe they were kinkshaming all us wood fuckers.
All seven of us.
There it is.
It's going to happen.
We are dendrophiliacs and we are mighty.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
Go come in the backyard.
I got to say, in Benedetta, great, an amazing movie from last year.
Oh, love that movie.
Love it.
The wood dildo really gave me some pause.
That was a tense moment.
I was just like, what's going to happen here?
Because, you know, like, again, same situation.
You got a lacquer the fuck out of that thing?
Had they even invented tweezers yet?
I don't think so.
Yeah, you got to be real careful.
I hope Ben and Deneta was real careful with that guy.
Everyone else is like, oh, what's sacrilege?
I'm like, holy shit, don't do it.
Totally.
So you'd prefer, like, a stone mason, like, slowly chiseling.
Rubber or marble?
I mean, I guess it was too early for rubber, obviously, you know.
But people were fucking people with eating.
other with wood for eons. I guarantee. Yeah, I guess so. That's fair. I mean, because like,
what else, what else is there? I don't know. You ever hear the five things on your hand, man?
They go out of a long ago. But you remember, I mean, the fucking cardinal in that, he, like, when you
see him eating, he looks like he's eating twins. Like, I'm like, I'm not expected much from anybody
in this. Yeah, it was just a real disgusting way to live overall those those times. I'm glad we
have rubber now. Thank God. I'm glad I don't have to fuck a piece of
would I can fuck something called the fleshlight
that I spent $75 on.
Finally, it took this, all this time.
We finally have dildos that have like Homer
Simpson's Ed at the end and shit like that.
That's cool. What a time to be alive.
I want to fucko my pop or fuck
it's funco. Funko.
There you go. Fucko pop. They should get into
that. Fucko pop. Absolutely.
They would be making a lot of money with that
one. So
he's like, okay, this wood
threw itself out of the fire. It wants to be
come a puppet. It's trying to tell me something.
So he starts plugging away long into the
night and terrifying effect right here.
He finishes like an arm
and it just starts moving. Dude,
it was a tool video and I was like, this is not okay.
Now I'm good to sit on
it real quick. I am a
wooden boy.
Better make sure there's enough lacquer on this
hand.
It's got the hold of my lower
intestines.
while you're up there
find the last puppet hand I use
somehow it's smaller and it's a puppet skeleton
up to the side a bit
get the bloody gerbil out
yes you're hitting my P spot
P for puppet I really should have given you fingers
this would have made this all much easier
oh no
that sounds like the punchline of a
jokes. Let's have we get the set of
what does a
puppet make, oh fuck, what does
a puppet maker say when he's
done fucking himself with his, with his
own puppet? I should have
given you fingers. I like it. Just expand. That's good.
That's like Johnny
Carson's, what's his name? I just did
a Karnak bit. You're telling me.
Or yeah, that's a water cooler
joke you could use tomorrow at work for sure.
Yeah, definitely tell that at work. Definitely.
But you notice the cat is orange in this
Which is very specific because I feel like they were like
We can't get sued because it's either public domain or it's a we're based on the same novel
Right
But like iconography stuff we got to be careful because that cat was very famous
Figaro the cat from the Disney version is very famously black
I think they were like all right you got to be real careful with like what outfit
Pinocchio wears you know what I mean
Do you think there was even a chance of a lawsuit I mean it's based on like
The same situation
I was going to say puppet domain.
Oh, it is puppet domain, dude.
It's an Italian novel, so who knows.
I mean, who knows what's the story?
It's an Italian novel from like the 19th century.
Yeah, so like, I'm sure it's whatever.
Yeah, fucking Mussolini's relatives are still getting royalties on here.
But Steve, I think to your point, if they were, if the production design was gearing or like skewing way too close to the Disney production design, I think there may have been beef.
Yeah, exactly.
Somebody might have been a little perturbed.
Yeah, so they took the, it's a smart.
decision. They made it as little
entertaining as possible.
Just to make a difference between the Disney
original. Oh, it's plenty entertaining.
Folks at home, you might want to pause this and go
check out this movie to be honest.
He's, it's my favorite
part of the movie. He's like, he's doing the thing and then he's like,
ah, there you are. Oh, there you
are Pinocchio. Big blue eyes like your father.
Now, let's put a smile on that face of yours.
Dude, he tells a puppet to open why.
Yeah. Oh, no. And he's
drilling this fucking puppet's mouth.
The most chilling part is the cat's like being cute around him or whatever.
I was like, oh, I think this puppet might be alive.
And like, he just drills a little tiny like pee hole in this thing.
Yep.
And as a mouth before he gets really going on the mouth.
And it exhales all this sawdust.
Immediately this thing is alive.
It's creepy as hell.
And it's just a weird, like, it's a practical effect.
So you barely notice it.
But it's just like, like, like, Blando's just got a fucking sawdust facial.
Now, Pinocchio, I'm going to put these razor blades in your mouth, too.
Gotta make sure a smile stays on that face.
This thing comes to life immediately.
And I got to tell you, I got nothing but love for the Jim Henson Company.
Sure.
They gave me some of the greatest gifts of my childhood.
This thing is a fucking abomination.
It's awful.
It's disgusting.
It's reprehensible.
And we get to spend 90 minutes with it.
It's the dead eyes
It's always the dead eyes
And the problem also
The second it comes to life
Like I don't remember
Again it's been a while
Since that pervert showed it in my art class
That I've seen the Disney one
I do want to go back to it
But like I feel like when Pinocchio just wakes up
He's like wow hi I'm a real boy
As opposed to like this
Uh
Struggling to form thoughts
It's disgusting
It's like the eraserhead baby for a minute.
It kind of is.
I didn't make that connection.
You saying it right now, I'm like, yep, that is a fucking one-to-one.
It's kind of like nuke.
Remember that movie?
It looks a lot like nuke.
Yeah.
And then you see, I mean, and then Jepetto looks at this absolute abomination that should be burned.
And it's like, calling me Papa.
That's when you just are like, okay, this person's insane.
can't follow this. And I have to
think, right, that even though we are
in 19th century Italy, this
guy is not
a god-fearing Catholic. No.
Because if he were, this thing
would have been thrown in the fire.
Absolutely. Or chopped up with an axe.
You know. Never have
I more strongly felt the need for the church
than watching.
No shit. Can we the noncio to come in here
and fucking burn this thing down? He must
got, Japanos got rejected by
every lady in the city. Yes.
The clergy rejected him
Probably because of his wild beliefs
No, I'm going to bring
The doll with me to church
This is my friend Lars
The doll will also be ordained, no
To that it's his Pinocchio
He earned his collar
That's a great sequel
Not the new inventions of Pinocchio
Father Pinocchio
That's right dude
And he's just like
I can't believe we can't fuck
Old Man Pinocchio
He's like whittled all
his fingers into points and just like kill people with them.
But police, a puppet can't molest children.
Oh, someone's going to have to go to another church.
It would be excellent if the nuncio from fucking Benadena came into this movie and he was just like,
oh my God, I just spent all last week dealing with lesbian nuns.
Now I'm dealing with a puppet that somehow became a priest.
That'd be great.
It would be a bad week for that guy.
I can't stress enough how good that movie is.
and where people should see it.
Wasn't there something going around
about sex scenes?
I didn't read the piece.
I saw, there was someone,
see these things now.
They're bitching and a moaning about it.
These things now where we don't want to call out
the author, but we want to shit talk their writing.
We won't put the who wrote the thing,
but it's a clip from it.
So I have no idea where it came from.
But I think what you might be referring to,
there was some article where it was like, New Yorker.
Was it the New Yorker?
Of course.
I didn't watch the whole thing,
but the sex,
and it was something like,
and the sex scenes throughout,
they kept on coming.
There's two of them.
There's two sexy.
It was like, oh, it was like just, just sexy stuff for men.
Also, like, I don't know.
I'm pretty sure women found that movie plenty sexy as well.
Yes, exactly, exactly.
And that shows you the type of numb nuts they put in magazines.
It's somebody who's never watched a Verhoeven movie before.
Yeah, exactly.
But you know what they should do?
Taking a big salary and write about films.
It's like somebody being like, you know, that Starship Troopers has some fascistic ideas.
I don't like it.
I don't think that's good.
Yeah, that Hitler, that dog whistle Hitler stuff throughout.
Oh, boy, that's problematic.
That's for white men.
Gee, I don't know.
I watch Paul Verhoeven Zwartbock, you know, black book and the Nazi stuff in that movie.
I mean, it had Nazis in it.
A likable Nazi.
I mean, who puts that in there?
So thank you, gentle listener, for getting your film criticism from podcasts where it belongs.
Yes, indeed.
Yes.
We just spent 24 minutes talking about puppet dildos.
This is where you want to get your film criticism.
We are liberated, my friends.
We're not these repressed nerds writing for the New Yorker.
And we're talking about sex puppets too, Steve.
That's a good boy.
Sex puppets are a big part of our culture.
And we, about time, we stop ignoring it.
So this is the problem.
You know, it's everyone's everyone's nightmare.
You get a brand new dildo.
It comes to life and then it walks out your window.
That's the terror.
Then you're like, oh, fuck.
They're going to kill me.
This one guy is in this one scene
He goes up to some friend
He's like, this puppet boy came to life
They're gonna burn me at the steak
Dude
And the guy, it's kind of hilarious
Because the guy, it's actually a kind of funny joke
In the movie, the guy's like
Well, we don't burn people at the steak anymore, Juppetto
They may hang you though
Dude, what a great ending to this
It's like fucking, it's like in Hannibal
When he hangs the Italian guy
What's his name?
Oh, the dude
Oh man
Giancarlo Gianini
Giaini when he fucking
He hangs him from the window
And he cuts his stomach open
And all the shit falls out
Yep
That's what they would do to Jepetto
Wasn't there a guy back in like history times
I don't know when
History times
Yeah
Where he like his mother died or something
So he like powdered her body out with straw
And like made a death mask
To preserve her in the bed
And I think he was also fucking it
Are you remembering Midsomar
No
Are you thinking about William Faulkner's
A Rose for Emily
Maybe or maybe it's his history
story times where I'm thinking of this. You're talking about
Robert Block Psycho? Because there's a lot
of weird, everything that's
happened. Are you talking about Stan Lee's
X-Men?
Talking about, yeah, that's
right, Bub, my mother died and I
hollowed her out. Put a bunch of
stuffing in her. That's right,
Bub. I think this happened somewhere, and
I'm just thinking, like, wouldn't it be great
if that thing came to life? Oh, yeah.
A dead straw mother that's full of
cum, that's running around.
Dead straw mother full of come.
Yeah, I think that would frighten me as well.
It doesn't necessarily fit on a poster, though, so you need to work that title.
That's more of like an Italian, Japanese title.
You get a whole sentence up there.
Here, this will help for Reddit people.
Well, read kind of to the father.
So it's a straw man.
Oh, there you go.
The straw man.
You'll never escape the straw bad.
You won't win an argument against the straw bad.
Coming in a theater near you.
Yeah, it is coming in a theater.
So the puppet does escape
And he's like
All of a sudden it's like
The Godfather part two
This thing's fucking up on the roof
And again he still isn't talking
So he's following this pigeon
I'm going
I think the problem is
The pigeon is like one of the first noises he here
So he's like
Because the pigeon's like
Choo Choochoochoo!
And he's like
It thinks it's a pigeon
It tries to fly off the roof
I gotta tell you
Puppet suicide attempt
A plus. Wonderful stuff. I was loving that. And what's crazy though is like this puppet jumps off
this roof brings down all this laundry. All these Italian ladies are freaking out. But no one is
freaking out about the fact that it's a fucking puppet walking around. And that happens throughout.
A little kids are like, hey, Woody. Yeah. Like, of course, there's just a woodman. I mean,
the kids, at least I understand it a little bit. I mean, like, kids are, yeah, they're just going
like, whatever, you know. But like, an adult needs to stop.
Or I guess what they're doing,
they just like see a kid run by
and they're like, oh, whatever.
But here's the thing though, dude.
Known puppet weirdo in the village,
Geppetto, all of a sudden walking around
holding hands with a kid, I got to investigate puppet or no.
That's the problem, I think, is they took,
I think in the original, he's in the town at least.
He's not Kaczynskiing.
He's not out in the middle of fucking nowhere with these dolls.
Recycling is fake.
Like, that's a huge issue.
Like, the loaner is the problem.
If he's just in the town, it makes sense.
Well, he, isn't he in the town of this?
He's a loner.
I think he is.
I think he's in the middle fucking nowhere.
He is.
He's a couple clicks away from town.
Oh, okay.
It's a bit of a walk.
Okay.
Oh, is it?
Oh.
It's a little shack.
Wait, but hang on a second, though.
So then this puppet jumps out that window and makes its way to town to only then get up on the
rooftop?
No, well, isn't they, doesn't go school first?
No, no, school after.
All right, let's split the difference.
He's in the outskirts of 10.
He's at the border.
But no, see, it falls in all this underwear
and this woman Leona, who is his one true love,
this is actress.
So I've seen in some stuff.
I forgot her name.
Oh, we should quickly mention while Steve looks that up,
that he was bathing in his clothing.
Oh, we forgot about that.
We forgot about that.
Martin, here's the thing.
Jepetto, you know what?
We're all going to get old.
Everyone's going to need assistance.
You know, he can't live on his own.
dude, he's taking a bath in his clothes?
I got a theory on this.
It's, um, if I'm good to wash, why not also wash my clothes?
Dude, that's exactly what Chelsea said.
She was like, maybe he's just doing his laundry.
Yeah.
No, it's a very thin.
It's thin. And you could definitely make out his dick.
You can't the audience.
But I would imagine in the water.
And the puppet is like eyeballing his crotch for a good, that's the reason why.
That's why he's wearing these long johns is because, and again, I would just rewrite the scene where he's not in the bath at all.
But I think they're like, oh, this old man, you know,
one wants to see naked martin lead down in the puppet.
Do you think he carved in his dick?
Foley water or no.
Did he carve it in a dick?
There's no schvance.
So when it becomes a real boy, does it have no dick?
That's a great.
Maybe that's what he's been really pining.
That's the thing.
What a terrible thing for the young ladies watching this back in the day.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas, no dick.
I'm made of wood, but I have no wood.
Yeah.
Father kill me
Father kill me
That's the Donnie Darko line
What's the point of living
If you don't have a dick
Maybe that's what this puppet thought
Can't you just little one and like
Glue it on
Hold it still I'll glue some
Walnuts
What am I supposed to do with this bump
You explain that to me
What am I supposed to do with the bump
Have you tried rubbing the bump
The crazy thing though
Is that the puppet's naked
When he gets in the time
Yes
He is
So I think that was also
It's not so much seeing Martin Landau's
butt cheeks. I think it's more he was like, we can't have this nude old man and then a nude puppet
that's designed to look like a child. And they made such a big deal out of birth. What a bunch of shit.
Sexists is what I say. So Steve, what is this lady's deal? Her name is Genevieve Bujold. She's in
Dead Ringers. She's in rules. She's in a ton of stuff. She's in the house of yes. She's in, which is a
movie my wife loves and watches every Thanksgiving because she's a legit maniac. What is that
movie? That's the movie. Parker Posey. It's like, it's based on a play. It's a pretty good movie.
Yeah. Uh, where in, uh, Parker Posey and Josh, the other one from eighth grade.
Josh Hamilton. Yes. Are, uh, like, their siblings, but they're in love and they play, uh, you would love this movie, Eric, because they play Jackie and Jackie and, uh, JFK.
And they have a gun involved. They shoot each other in their head. You'll have to watch the movie to find out. I guess I can't wait for
Thanksgiving.
Are they
step siblings?
Oh my friend
they're the real deal
but they're sucking and fucking
we don't know
the movie is
quite about that
yeah but so that means yes
so this is a holiday
film in your house
no it takes place
over Thanksgiving
Tori spelling is also
involved what if Donna
was it an independent
movie
what if Donna ventured
into American
independent cinema
it didn't go well
so no
independent spirit of
No, I don't believe so, sadly.
But so, Genevieve Bujol plays the mother and that.
She's in this as well. And she's good.
She's like, oh, Jepetto, get my underwear off this puppet's head.
And I'm like, could we not talk about underlady's undergarments in this puppet?
Yeah.
When the clothing line comes down, to establish that this is a vibrant European city, there's a fat guy singing.
Dude, this guy, Luigi.
This guy, Luigi, looks exactly like Paul F. Tompkins.
Yes.
Like a much larger Paul F. Tompkins.
An early 90s Paul F. Tompkins.
Oh, my brother of a Mario,
Princess a cup.
The bouser a bumsar back,
and then a sock falls in his mouth
because earlier in the film,
someone said put a sock in it.
Oh, that's true.
That puppet got him to shut up.
And she's like, oh,
some baby died of childbirth here.
You can take its clothes.
I don't know.
But that's what she pretty much means.
But you know that's happening.
Exactly.
Oh, the fucking stillbirth and fucking
cholera, whatever else.
is going on. The fucking infant mortality rate
is through the roof at this town. At the time
childbirth was the number one reason
to die. I mean that's like the first one
on top of the infant infant death
mortality rate is probably was as bad
then as the United States is now.
That's number one. Look up the numbers
folks. Not good.
Pretty bad.
Another thing, just the
failure of these special effects. So like
after he is clothed
I guess Martin Landau is like
not sweating it as much so he's like we'll
take a walk through the town, Pinocchio.
And it's like Martin Landau
and holding hands with his puppet, but
like to get around all the
Disney people, both the puppet
and Landau are in this really bad
composite shot. Yes. So like
Martin Landau isn't looking
at any of these people in the town square that he
appears to be greeting. So if you watch it,
Martin Landau makes basically the same
uncomfortable facial expression
like three times. Because
he's not looking at anything. He's pretending
to walk down a street with a puppet. It's nice
to meet you Jaja Binks
Oh, I've never been to Sin City
before. You don't have
a wooden boy?
He's supposed to
have flesh a boy, not a wood.
Stupid.
Someone should have raspberry
this little abomination, that's for sure.
Baby Newark and
Rob Schneider, see this puppet.
And again, like, no one else is throwing
up. No one else is like, holy fucking shit,
The church is alive.
You know what I mean?
It's what I would say
if I saw this living puppet.
Oh,
this is a definite
there is no God situation.
Yes, for sure.
And so none of that happens.
But like they have like,
everyone's just kind of chill with it.
But for some reason,
they have dollars in their eyes kind of a thing.
Yeah,
I mean,
because there's just,
there's some people,
you know,
that look at puppets that came to life.
Yes.
And doubt the existence of God.
And then there's others that see that
and they're like,
how can I make some coin off this?
Yeah,
where's nightmare alley?
Let's put this boy up.
Well, speaking of nightmares,
I mean,
this ball,
Pinocchio was playing with a ball
that some other kid had
when he meets Rob Schneider
and Baby knew it.
And it's kind of like M.
I was thinking about this today.
Like the ball goes up
and then you get the reveal
of Rob Schneider.
Yeah, dude.
There's a fucking serial killer right there.
I can't go to jail.
He was a puppet the whole time.
I'm getting off Scott Free.
Turned out it was a
Cursed puppet.
Somebody put a pee on my jacket.
I'm like, okay, good job, funny man.
This is an impression of your teacher, right?
Yeah, they are.
I'm just trying to go to Pathmark
for some hungry man dinners.
And I look up and who's buying beer
but a gaggle of my old sexy students
and I scream down the frozen food aisle.
Hey Steve and other assorted friends
Do you know that when that one part in the Lion King
Where the Lion lays down and all the flowers fly out
It spells six
What I'm getting arrested again
We watched that in class dude
I'm not kidding I'm not kidding
Frame by frame in it
Yeah he's like oh this is the funny part
It's like ha ha ha
Anybody think it's something other than funny
Anyway I got home
And I assume those people put up
pee on my jacket for Pathmark
which is where I do all my shopping now
he thought it was like a Costco membership or something
I hope I get a 20%
discount oh great now I have to wear the same jacket
every time I go grocery shopping
yeah so I think the Pathmark might be
only a Northeast thing so just
just for everyone else in the country
imagine the DMV with cold cuts
that's in your area
it might be known as Aldi
it might be the
The absolute worst grocery store chain.
You know the dollar bin for CDs at your car wash?
Imagine that as a grocery store.
And that's about where we're at here, folks.
Yeah, we got food deserts are a real problem.
Oh, yeah.
Man, how about Cetown?
Ooh, that's a bad guy.
That's what we got here.
Suck shit.
But a step up from...
Comparatively, yeah.
It's been a while for a pathmarked me.
Maybe I've got to do a little field trip.
I can go back.
So whatever, he, the, the Bibi New Earth and Rob Schneider, see this puppet.
They're like, oh, what, you know, Lanzini or whatever, Udo Kier's character will pay big bucks for this thing.
Totally.
Top dollar.
Like Udo Kier is like, yeah, Lorenzini, the fucking puppet master in this town.
He's got a whole theater.
Chepetto's just got a stupid shop.
And I mean, you would think that this would be pretty profitable for Chepetto.
like hey man I supply you with the puppets you know you get a lot of money yeah exactly but what's crazy
it's like it's a puppet theater yeah it's like a big ornate theater when I think puppet show
I think it's on the street yeah yeah where belongs you kind of a thing yeah it belongs
Chippetto and Linguini or whatever the fuck his name is Laurenzini Laurenzini yes have some respect
no uh like this is incredibly well funded this theater because they make this ship like
Geppetto would have to take a year off
to make this shit
that they have on the stage here
That's true
Maybe that's what it is
He doesn't work fast enough Chris
Yeah
We meet him
And he's like
Yeah
His thing is he likes chili peppers
And he could breathe
Fire because of it
Oh I didn't put that together
Oh dude
It's oh my God
Later in the movie
When Pinocchio is working for him
Yeah
He's like doing the breath of the dragon
That I recall
But it's from his
breath. His actual, Udo Kier
eats a ton of chili
peppers blows into
the dragon that makes the fire.
He can breathe fire in this movie.
I thought he was doing the like,
you put a little, like, booze in your mouth
and spit it out. No, no, no. He bites a chili
pepper. You know, this first thing, the first thing you see
him do is he bites it and he burps and it's like
a big, not a flame, but like gaseous
kind of. It's a big flame. I mean, it's full
cartoon shit. How did I fucking
miss this? Put down the pipe, dude.
I guess not a bad tip.
There was a thing,
bad editing decision
right before we meet Udo
that I had to call out
because we were deprived
of some real cinematic greatness here
where like Bibi Newworth
and Rob Schneider
like their whole thing is
they're just kind of like
bickering the whole movie
and he says something stupid
and I think it's B.B. Newark
in response to it goes and punches him in the face
but it cuts away before you
have the blissful image
of Rob Schneider getting punched in the face?
How dare you, movie?
That's how you know it's a bad director, who doesn't know
what your audience wants. No.
And I mean, if you... Thundrous applause, by the way,
if that happened. Oh, yeah. If you get a full
like contact, totally. Beautiful.
But like, so in case you were wondering
if this character is bad
or not, her name is Villanette.
Uh-huh.
Yes, we're going to get creative with this one.
And what was Robert Schneider's? Vlope.
Volpe, I think.
Volpe or something?
Volper. Look, I don't want to make a name for you. You're disgusting. You're
maybe. Maybe. So Pinocchio goes to school. And this is an interesting scene. This is where
we get is one of the only scenes where he lies and his nose grows. And this is just a
full on him getting an erection in class. Yes. So I want to posit to you guys. Erection in
school stories. Go. Chris Cabin. I don't think I have one. I have one. I
to think about it here.
Well, I think, you know...
Do you have one? Do you have one keyed up?
Not like a, not like a, you know, I think there was, you know, when you're a young developing
boy, you know, you know, thank God that, that desk is glued to the chair.
Sure.
So you can just fucking hammer into that and it'll go down.
All right, now you go.
You know what, dude, I literally got nothing to- Okay, now you go.
I don't, okay, here's the thing.
I do have one, but I can't, I realize when I went to.
to answer you, I was about to be
conflating two different stories.
I think you have to change the names for the people involved.
You'll get the old censor sound effect.
The names have been changed to protect
the innocent and honor the dead.
No, there was a thing where it was
like I got called up
to the front of the class to do something on
the chalkboard. And you wrote
with a different piece of chalk that day.
Yeah. But I was
terrified because
it, listen, sometimes it just flares
up. You never know.
And so, like, I was
fucking hard as a rock, just sitting
in class for no particular
reason. And then it was like,
Mr. Jupin come up and, maybe it was math.
It was like, fill out the whatever. Yeah. And I was
wearing track pants. Oh, that's
the worst. And I was like, they're going to
fucking see my throbber through the track pan.
So what I did to really
throw him off the trail was
I bent forward and was
walking like a fucking old man.
Yes. I had my ass kind of.
it out? Because I was like, if I just bend
out that way, they're not going to
see the schvance going forward, you know,
but I probably look like a total weirdo anyway.
I think I probably did that once, actually.
That helps you hone your comedic, funny
walks. A very good way
to hone your comedic skills.
That's true. It's hiding your boner.
That's the root of all
comedy. Yes, it really is.
I was going to say, like, having a bonner
in class, that's most of class
after 15. Any class
you're in, I was mostly like,
physics, you don't say, huh? Hawaii
Tropic.
The physics
of these nuts, huh?
But he's playing out
out Lampwick, a
Pinocchio mainstay.
The bad boy, the Pinocchio.
Really? Okay. Yeah, it's the same.
Yeah, he's the one that he also meets in the
cartoon. He's the same name there.
But in this, uh, in this classroom,
was that, is this part of the classroom? Yeah. Okay. Go
ahead. Because I was going to say eventually
he, uh, he sneezes.
on the teacher.
There's another sawdust cum blast.
Yeah, totally serious sawdust facials in this movie.
They're like full around.
He keeps calling him Woody.
Because, you know, and...
You catch you this is?
What?
You catch you this is?
Oh, no, I don't.
The actor's name is Corey Carrier.
He was young Indiana Jones.
Oh.
But you know...
But young, young Indiana Jones.
From the...
Sorry, from the television program.
The surviving Indiana Jones.
No, no, no.
But the other young Indian Jones was...
Sean Patrick Flannery.
That was like young Indiana Jones.
Television program.
Yes.
Yes.
Was Sean Patrick Flanning as well?
I think there might have been a couple of different.
Maybe he was at the youngest version of him.
Am I nuts?
I'm just remember because I.
We just talked to My Blue Heaven a couple weeks ago.
He's one of Joan Kusack and Daniel Stern's kids.
Oh.
He's the elder kid.
So then what?
Because I think you're right.
But I also think that I think we're both right here.
of Young Indiana Jones from 92 to 2008 has Sean Patrick Flannery as Indiana Jones and I'm going to assume this kid is also Henry Jones Jr. I see so like I think when like as a little kid he's he's Henry Jones Jr. It's like probably his learning stuff. And then he flashes forward. And he's like 19 as Indiana Jones. Okay. So that kind of tracks because I was like if that show started before this movie was made, this kid was really little and you're right. Obviously.
on Patrick Flannery because I was like he was of course
much older on that show. Now that
makes sense. Okay, of course, he's one of the
kids from Bushwhacked as well.
Oh, yeah. We're going through them. And
what really made me laugh when I was
looking at his IMDB, he played Richard
Nixon. Yes. Yes. 12 years
old in 95's Nixon.
I hope he does a Hopkins impression
is. Is that an Oliver Stone movie?
It is. Yeah, that's right. I have
never seen it because the
runtime is daunting, but I
kind of want to. It's really good. I never
checked it out and it definitely was like a
two VHS tape situation. Yeah, it was
very do. Didn't all of us don't have to do
that? I think even that piece of shit, heaven and
earth had a double tape. He loved
the double tape. He loved the double tape.
Even of heaven
and earth, there's some great grocery store
scenes to loop back to
the pathmark.
No, because she like gets to America
and it's like, oh my God, look at all this shit.
No empty shelves back that.
No, I'm glad.
Samuelio Jones is like,
get the beef over there. I want to
get that beef.
They get to rough housing
and the teacher asked
did you punch this kid in the face?
He's like, no, I did it.
And his nose grows
and his nose grows some more.
Here's the thing though, again,
Professor,
did you get a notification
from the school
that there was a new student?
Yep. And when you're looking at this
supposed new student, do you recognize
that it's a wooden doll?
And when the
knows begins to grow
like that. Why aren't
you?
Why aren't you screaming? I would kill it.
As a teacher back then, you could
kill anything you wanted.
Or just like really nail this fight.
Punch this kid in the face. Oh, well that
might hurt your hand. Set him on fire.
This little wooden thing
is laughing like a dolphin
lying in your fucking classroom.
The laugh we got to mention. Is that
a Woody Woodpecker thing?
What is this?
I think it's like he's poorly trying to mimic the laugh.
He saw a kid and he's like the predator.
Yeah.
Yes.
Want some candy?
Want some candy?
I think that, I mean, it's Woody Woodpecker S because it is kind of like a ha ha ha ha ha.
But it's not a ha ha ha ha.
Yeah, there's no rhythm to it.
It's just like.
You see our laugh goes.
Vanilla ice is.
Pinocchio. But the thing is
the chalk gets in his nose and he sneezes on the
teacher blasts him full all
let's call it. It's a cum shot. Yeah. It's a
completely covered. And then he leaves kind of
in disgrace. He goes back to Geppetto. This is one
Udo Kier shows up to Jepetto's workshop and he's like, well
Geppetto, let me see all of
your greatest new puppet.
This is a weird scene and it's
like he hides Pinocchio
because he knows what's going on
and it's like
it kind of reminded me of the scene
in E.T. where they're hiding him in the closet
with all the other dolls. And it's like
Udo Kier investigating like this shelf
of all these puppets or whatever.
It's kind of great. Why did you take
these puppets? He's like, I said no
about these like last year
man. Tells you
our friend Jepetto's in a little bit of a
puppet slump. He is absolutely.
Let me ask you, Jepetto. Do you
have any with a penis
something. Do you have
any? Okay. How about the pulse?
I'll take one with a pulse
if no penis.
I think this is the great
bakery disaster happens now.
He escapes basically like
he follows a bug out of window.
Because he's a dumb piece of shit.
And this is the bakery thing with
Don French and I got to tell you
if you're a Don French completist
that's a tough road. Who's this?
French and Saunders.
there's a lot of highs there
certainly a lot of highs
a lot of lows too
a lot of lows
I mean getting through this
requires some kind of brain damage
I mean any smart person
would walk out the theater or turn it off
during this scene specifically
that's true well because now this
it descends into complete madness
and more cum blasts or whatever
but
this thing eats
and it enjoys
he's eating? Yeah, where's it going? Because we know he doesn't have lungs. Does he shit Lincoln
lungs? Boop. Now, Jepetto, do you have one with an asshole that can eat as well?
I'm working on it. I'm working on it. You could eat the ass or it eats and has an ass.
So you want it done in a week or two weeks. No, no, no. Him to me. Okay.
but like he you know
this big setup with Don French and her husband
it's like oh this is the greatest cake we've ever made
it's gonna get us so much money and like you know what's
it was like the magistrate's birthday's cake
also though she's pride and I'm glad
their business is destroyed yes
because they are bragging about how she's ripping off
this customer I can't believe it and it's the magistrate
you don't rip off the magistrate
you could call what was going to happen
in terms of the pastures
are going to get rid of the business.
Sure. What is actually on screen?
I don't think anybody was going to call.
This, it's just like fluffy cum cream
all over this fucking puppet's face
for like what has to be a full minute or two.
It's disgusting.
And it's big of these little puppets like,
oh.
Because it's still, it's still talking complete sentences
yet. So it's just like, oh.
It's an, eh.
Its entire mouth is caked in this white icing, which quite looks like cum.
We'll put a photo on our Instagram.
Yeah, we will.
At a WHM podcast, look at those com picks.
It's quite something.
I mean, shit's going to get flagged.
Couldn't make a cherry pie for me.
Couldn't just make a fruit like fucking tart.
Chocolate.
I mean, it would look like shit, but even better, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's just really gross.
And it just, you know, he's like, nah, I'm not.
And she's like, oh, stop eating all my cakes.
And then, like, he goes to the other cake.
He's like, this is good, too.
Nom, yum, yum.
I mean, it's the wetness of the sound of the chewing.
I mean, it is, it kind of is like the sound effects from Benedetta.
It's a lot of wet wood in both films.
And the cake goes everywhere.
And then this is when Pinocchio gets pinched, gets arrested.
As does Geppetto, though.
They both are going down for this.
Good.
He's like, oh, shit, my puppet.
What's crazy, though, is
Pinocchio,
I don't think, he doesn't visit
Chappetto in prison, but there is a thing
where he's, like, looking at Jepetto,
like, through a window or something,
and it's like, good night, Papa.
Yes, and I'm like,
don't.
Please don't.
That's right, you know,
Jepetto gets arrested.
Pinocchio is just sort of sent on his way.
He cheeses it.
He gets out of there and he runs back to the house and hides.
At what point does the fucking cricket show?
It's right here.
This is the only, like, opportunity
the movie has to introduce Pepe the cricket
because, yeah, Jepetto gets pinched
and Pinocchio runs back to the house
and this is where this fucking thing comes in
the absolute worst, worst CGI.
It's 1996 and it's bad.
And crickets have to have lips now, I guess.
This was a wild, this mouth.
How else would I kiss him?
Of course.
Little kisses for my bug friend.
And for no reason at all,
this Wallace Sean did a voice track
was he in the trailer too which I did watch
really he's in the trailer he's in the trailer he's in the
it must have been like a last second for some
reason we're cutting Wallace on some contractual
dispute or something it's gonna cost you
extra I don't
why would why would Wallace Sean get cut
I don't get it but then also
you replace him with the guy who was
Bosley on Charlie's Angels who wound up
voicing grandpa pickles on Rugrats
and it is he does a bad job we can say
It sucks shit.
It totally sucks shit.
And also, like, if you were a Rugrats fan at any point, you hear this fucker throughout
this movie.
You're just waiting for Grandpa Pickles.
And then you wish you were watching Rugrats, which was better than this movie.
Yeah, we were going to use Wally's track, but then, I mean, we didn't listen to him full.
Right at the end, when he's supposed to goodbye to Pinocchio, there's this whole thing about
the Korean War.
That's the only track we recorded.
I don't know how we let it slip, but like, yeah, I don't know how.
But yeah, we got to get somebody new.
Sorry, we got two weeks.
This movie's got to get out.
It's a summer movie.
This is a summer movie, too.
It's like June or something.
It's going to be a blockbuster.
Okay.
Epe.
But so he's like, oh, hey, Pinocchio.
How's it going?
I'm your conscience.
I just hate this.
It's bad.
It's so fucking much.
Okay, yes, he did.
He died the year later.
Good.
Sorry for laughing at this guy's death.
He died pretty young.
67.
That's a bummer.
He died February 26,
1997.
and so we can say this performance is shit now.
You know, he's not going to come after us.
Yeah, he does have a Twitter account to yell at us.
But right after he befriends Pepe
Pepe the Cricket here,
this is where the fucking gendarme,
well, it's not a gendarme, it's Italy.
Italian police officers come in
and are banging down the door and Pinocchio gets arrested.
Can you imagine being a beat cop and it's like,
yeah, we got an APB.
for a puppet you should be considered armed and dangerous Mario you touch it I think if I touch that
thing I'm going to hell I'm almost certain of it I'm almost certain of it it's a lot like a
chucky movie you're right yep or yeah I'll go to know if it's going to steal my soul I don't know
it's going to happen it will definitely because that's the thing is it probably stole someone
else's soul at some point you la la give me the power I beg of you that's a great idea
though dude maybe not for the puppet but if you had to fucking axe that Wally Sean
performance. Brad Duriff was right
there. That's true.
Hey, Pinocchio.
Get Michael Myers, but make sure he does it Scottish.
Oh, Jesus.
That costs you a couple million bucks.
If that had happened, though,
you're making this movie, so he probably
recorded that voice track in like 95.
Maybe that could have prevented Shrek
because they'd be like, dude,
you did the Scottish thing in that fucking
Pinocchio movie. Well, he did the Scottish thing
as fat bastard, and he's still
Yeah, but that's a live action.
After, right? After Shrek? No, no, that's before
Shrek, but yes. No, it's around the same time. No,
because it's not in the first movie. Because the first movie is 97.
Fat Fassers, 2001. That's which is after Shrek.
Which is a, but. Is Shrek at the same year?
Shrek's 2000, I think.
That sounds right to me.
Okay. Better look it up, Eric, because
Gen Z will correct us on the internet. That's true
because, uh, see, you kids,
you look stuff up.
Yeah, we're spitball in here.
Yeah. And guess what? Getting it fucking right.
Let me look.
Trex,
Trex 2001.
Okay.
But I think Austin Powers is 99.
But Fat Master isn't in the first Oscar Power's not the first one.
Is Spy or Shagmi 99?
It is.
Oh, how do you say that?
Okay, you're right.
I think first Austin Powers is in 97.
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
And Gold Member 2002.
Yes.
That is a good call because that sequel
fucking stinks of the aughts to me.
Oh, yeah.
It kind of, it predicted the arts.
You know what I mean?
It just sort of like.
The Spy who Shagmi?
Yes.
I haven't rewatched the
sequels. I rewatched the first one. I think it still
holds up. I think it's a good comedy.
I just can't. It's hard for me to watch those sequels.
All right. Now that we're talking about it, everybody saw that
Super Bowl commercial. Yeah. I fell asleep
before it happened. Whatever you're talking about. You didn't see the Austin Powers
commercial? I woke up in LA ones. No, no, I didn't see the Austin Powers.
I don't even remember what it's fucking for. It's GM. It's like electric cars and
because there's only two kinds of commercials. Electric Cars are crypto this year.
That was what's funny.
The tagline is like, like, evil no more.
And I'm like, are you just like being like, yeah, we're General Mortars.
We're like the most evil company in the world.
Well, I think maybe they're talking about the former stigma.
I understand, but like also General Mortars being horrible.
But no, also just to say that stigma, that they definitely were helping fucking further.
Yes.
See the outdated documentary who killed the electric car.
Yeah, it's, I mean, and that's horrible.
That's a bad.
Mike Myers, which I talked a lot about Mike Myers on this podcast, Peak Show.
And it was before that.
And I wish that that had happened because it's like I just, it just sort of changed my opinion on him all over again.
So does he like, he's like a, what is he like, uh, what is he like, uh, puffy and weird looking?
He's puffy and weird looking.
And it's just sort of like do it.
And that's the thing too.
It's like it's, let's do all the old jokes, all the old jokes.
Didn't he just do a Wayne's World commercial?
He did.
And that's all he does now is Super Bowl commercials.
Like the last Oscars, I think it was in Uber Eats.
It was Uber Eats.
It definitely was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you see when Dana Carvey gets dressed up as Garth Algar now,
he just looks like an old lady.
Yeah, kind of weird.
See, that's the type of stuff they'd be raving about in the New Yorker.
So he's on trial for his life.
Yeah, Geppetto, Pinocchio is on trial for being a puppet.
Geppetto's on trial for assessor to be in a puppet.
This is a...
With a tent to puppet.
Oh, that's a felony.
You do this for pervert stuff, right, sir?
Yes.
The sea, the pervert stuff.
I love her the pervets stuff.
He comes out in the head of a lecture out there.
Did you breastfeed that puppet?
Toughened your nipples, didn't it?
Love your suit.
Yes, I gave her the puppet an asshole.
It's very important.
He eats.
5.4.
130 pounds.
All right. So now Udo Kier is like, I will pay the debts to society that this piece of shittos.
20,000 lira, he's fine for destroying the bakery.
20,000 liars to the bakers and 10,000 of the court.
So, which is your life plus two at the time.
So three years in debtor's prison, which he's spared by by Udo Kier.
Thank you, sir, do whatever you want to this abomination.
Debtors prison, which we now call prison.
Yes, yes.
oh man
drop the debtors it's cleaner
weird bit of
casting turn up here in this movie
the guy playing the judge
is an actor he's a Belgian actor
named Jean-Claudezreau
he's the main character
in Agnes Varda's Le Bonaire
really he's the guy
Charles something I think is the character
name kind of a weird
like you're watching Adventures of Pinocchio
and here's a dude who worked with
Agnes Varda very weird
I wonder where they filmed
this for tax purposes. It was the Czech
Republic, I think. Yep. It's pretty
close enough.
It's not too bad of a flight
probably. No, dude. You get all that
fucking Czech Republic tax
breaks and whatnot? They got a bunch
of abandoned castles over there and
shit. It was like half a Chernobyl
that happened. It wasn't a full one.
It wasn't a full one.
Okay, so calm down. Dude, and so
like, the deal
though is Udo
will pay off the 30k
Lira if Pinocchio is his. And so Landau, because he knows he will die in that fucking prison.
Oh, yeah. He's desperate to escape the clink. So he starts giving this puppet the Harry and the
Henderson street. Yeah, he does. And it's just like, get out of your puppet. Nobody wants you anymore.
Yeah. The puppet's like, okay. I don't think that Jonathan Taylor Thomas does a great job as Pinocchio.
No, he sucks shit.
he did you know the the iconic lion king voice it's good you know what i mean but that's like you know
i think that he's directed with an inch of his life there you know what i mean like you're really now you're saying
it this way guncocks in the background we'll do it 400 times and you'll get it right because it's
disney you're you're doing this for nazi king walter disney don't you fucking this is just new line
cinema so we get a little taste of what lorenzini's puppet show is like we've kind of already
talked about it yes this big adorned
you know, theater, gorgeous
shit, you know, probably would be
landmarked these days. There's a
boat, there's a giant, a puppet giant, which is kind of
interesting. Let's look at Monty Python bit
kind of thing. Yes, yes. Oh my God, the
feet. Actually, and Udo Kier
looks exactly like Baron von Munchaus.
He does. Oh, interesting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He,
you know, there's a song to
and basically Pinocchio kills it, right?
Yon just going fucking ape shit.
You get what's going on with this singing, though?
Look at this?
No.
So this isn't JTT singing.
This is Brian May.
What?
Singing the song and then they sped it up and like changed the pitch to make it sound like JTT was singing it.
Weird.
It's fucking strange as hell.
And I read that on the trivia before it happened.
And when you hear it, you're like, oh, definitely.
Oh, weird.
You're like, oh, that's definitely an adult singing that was modulated to sound like a child.
I mean, I knew it definitely wasn't JTT, but because that kid doesn't have any talent.
Just a repository for bad ideas
This whole movie
Like Jesus
One wrong turn after the next
He kills it and like he's like
Living it up in the backstage
Like at the intermission I guess
And like Lawrence he's like
Oh you did wonderful my boy take this
He's like he's some gold coins for you
Yeah
Good job and like
And like
And like you know
The fucking cricket comes in
Yeah he's like
Kill everyone burn it down
Because he's like
Oh you know
I applaud
is fleeting, Pinocchio,
not like the love of your father.
And I'm like, I don't know, dude.
Give him something they'll remember
for the rest of their lives.
Remember Pinocchio, we all die alone.
So like, Pinocchio.
I don't know, man, I just fucking, I'm a puppet.
Now people are clapping for me.
Can I have one minute, you fucking crack it?
No, but then with all of his puppet,
all of his puppet strength
which doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
He's able to pull down other puppeteers
from the ceiling.
of this from the rafters.
So let's set it up.
So it's going to be the last
act is the draft he's got to slay the dragon.
Right.
And the dragon are going to burn
Geppetto's dingy-ass puppets
as a final fuck you to Jepetto.
Sounds cool.
We're just like an inside,
I guess it's like an inside puppeteer's joke
like a couple people in the audience.
Like, oh, those are Jepto's.
Oh my God.
Did you see what Lorenzini did to Jepetto's puppets?
We'll be talking about this
in Puppet Weekly for quite some time.
Looking pretty tarnished if you'd ask me.
Oh, my God.
I don't think everyone in the audience got that,
but I got it.
Puppet Weekly.
It's just an extension of the New Yorker.
No, but, but he's about to burn these down.
And the guy, the fucking cricket's like,
those are your brothers and sisters.
You can't let them burn.
And I'm like, I don't know, dude,
those are non-sent puppets and I'm a sentient puppet.
Totally different things.
Talking cricket,
the assumption that all puppets are related.
It's pretty bad.
Okay, cricket.
So instead of letting two fucking dry pieces of wood burn,
I'm going to take down a whole crowded auditorium.
Oh, God, yeah.
And then he pulls those people down from the rafters.
One of them falls and changes the trajectory of the dragon
where Udo Kier is eating peppers and spraying his lava mouth into.
And it sets the entire theater on fire and we're all going to hell tonight.
It's a great white show.
Three people are dead.
I guarantee that I did I beat you?
Ah, you beat me right to that great white joke.
We love it over here.
You knew this was going to be an advanced level episode, right?
First one back in a while where we're carefree and fancy.
We're the boys on Jackass Island coming up.
Not Jackass the film, but the Jackass is in the movie.
Johnny Knoxville is not in this movie somehow.
There is a great thing before this fucking blazes set in this auditorium.
it's when Udo Kier is like
You've been great tonight, my child
You've been so great
And he gives him the coins or whatever
He pulls out, he's like champagne
Oh yeah
And I was like, you're gonna give this pop and booze
That doesn't happen
But then Pinocchio just goes
I love being a star
And I was like, you're gonna whip out
That little wooden dick in the dressing room
I'm a fucking star
I'm a fucking star
I don't need you Laurenzini
I got my album to work on
and my karate
I've got big things in me
I can do big things
I can do anything I want to do
Get that kernel away from me
You've got the touch
You've got the power
All right
Me and Pinocchio
We'll leave your recording studio
You have the master tapes
But we own the magic
That's on those magic tapes
I'm getting it there
I'm getting there
Don't worry I'm working on it
I almost got it
Hang on a second
I got to pull over and visit my friend's house
Motor Red
What's your prize for puppets?
Big bird is Alfred Molina.
It's a snap.
Snap. It's another snap.
We're snapping.
Motor end.
Do you like my bathroom?
Philb Seymour Hoffman crying in the corner.
So yeah, it burns down.
Such a fucking puppy.
Oh, my God.
We want what's in the fucking floor safe.
They're not leaving until we get what's in the fucking floor save.
These guys made business.
Would you be my mother?
See, we could do Sesame Street.
There you go.
Oh, great thing to, before they run of the theater,
Pinocchio's foot catches on fire.
And I was like, singe this fucker.
Does this thing feel pain?
No, I don't think so.
It gets shot on boy, this
boy carnival that's run by
John Wayne Gasey and Udo Kier.
He gets shot through.
And then he's, he still
laughs about it. He plays his body
like an instrument. And this is another
case of where JTT
when he becomes corporeal in the end
should have no dick and he should be
have like five gunshot wounds.
That would be amazing. I'm a real boy.
And then he's wearing this white shirt and then like little
blood splats come through.
Oh, that dude great.
Dude, M. Night Shyamalan's Pinocchio, definitely there's the twist.
Yes, you're a real boy, but now you have real pain.
Here's a question.
Speaking of things that would happen to this puppet, this puppet's getting wet and off a lot.
And what's going on with the wood rod here?
Water log, too, man.
Right, yeah, just like warp wood, right?
Yeah, it's a problem.
When he's running away somehow or another, he winds up just floating down a river.
I remember as a little kid, I had a speaking of Sesame Street, I had a stuffed animal
of Supergrover, my favorite thing in the world.
Big old stuffed animal. I took it
in the bath. That thing was dead for the rest. It was just
like waterlog. It was like bouncy
and boy, that it was just like literally
like a core, like, it looked like fucking
Twin Peaks. What's her name?
Laura Palmer. Laura Palmer.
Just in a plastic bag, Supergrover.
Oh, man, you killed Supergrover.
We'll wait to the middle of season
two for some reason to do that or whatever.
Jesus Christ, Pinocchio, did you go out
drinking last night? It's the water!
just warps me makes me bigger
Are you sure you haven't been eating?
It just makes me bigger
And this crickets's like
Talking shit to him the whole time
And Pinocchio makes his way
Into the forest
Where he finds the tree that he came from
And this fucking cricket
Decides he's gonna be funny
And he's like, oh boy Pinocchio
You're going back to your roots
Shut the fuck up
Because it's like this kind of weird sad thing
He's like nobody wants me
I guess it'll be a tree again
But it's crazy because he's
like, I feel safe here.
And the cricket's like, you gotta get the fuck
out of here, Pinocchio. And this line, this cricket,
bad advice from the jump, but this one
especially, you can't sleep your
troubles away, says who.
Yeah. Fuck you, cricket.
Yeah, you even fucking live through a pandemic cricket.
Totally. I'm a hiding under this pile of coats.
You ever enjoy a depression nap?
It's pretty amazing. It's pretty good.
I just would love the cricket to be like,
you see all the twigs there? Those are your dead brothers and sisters.
They're everywhere. They don't care what
happens to you. You got to avenge him, Pinocchio.
The thing is like this cricket is obviously using Pinocchio.
Pinocchio should come to his senses and kill the cricket.
Absolutely.
He almost does.
Crush that shit.
Get me a fucking top hat on this cricket. God damn it.
I'm tired of this shit.
I think the Disney Corp might have a problem with the top hat.
Maybe like a sailor's cap or something.
Okay.
That's fine.
Doesn't he have something on his hat?
I don't know.
I can't even see this thing.
It's so disgusting.
I couldn't look at the television, honestly.
I thought I was going to turn to stone.
In the original novel, Pinocchio
initially, he kills the cricket.
Hell yeah. For mouth and off,
is it the cricket's like, oh, do this,
do that, he kills it. Talk shit, get hit.
But then the cricket
ghost haunts him, and that's the rest of the story.
That's fucking cool. Yeah, absolutely.
That'll probably be in the del Toro version.
Oh, yeah. Oh, I forgot.
Is that true? It'll be out the end of the year.
What?
We're going to be fucking talking about Pinocchio all over again.
Him and Henry Selleck.
from Nightmare Before Christmas.
So you know it's going to be creepy.
Oh, yeah.
It's going to be crevests.
Horror movie.
Mm-hmm.
Total horror movie.
So, oh, him getting assaulted by the woodpecker.
It's not a big scene, but it is fucking hilarious.
I was like, yeah, drill through his brain.
Do it.
Then he goes to a Catholic church for some reason and the fucking and Baby New Earth and Rob Schneider.
Dude, he has one of the funniest lines here.
God, please forgive me for being a puppet.
Oh.
that's the fucking Catholics for you, man.
You can't just be who you are.
You're going to ask fucking forgiveness.
I'm waiting for the deathbed so that I can say.
I'm sorry for being a puppet.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, live your whole life as a puppet.
Do whatever you want puppet-wise.
And then like, under God's watchful eye, aren't we all puppets?
Anyway.
Definitely.
Kind of, yeah.
So what is the thing?
So Bebe Newt and Rob Schneider are like, you know what you should do is go like
wait in front of this building?
It makes no sense.
So he gives her, he's like, she's like, oh, you know, God can grant miracles and do whatever you want.
And, you know, sometimes all you need to do.
I think when he goes and he, he donates one of the four coins he got from, get from Udo O'Kir.
She steals that.
And then she's like, oh, you know, God, you know, this, God can do miracles, but it costs a little bit of money.
And he gives her the three coins, like, ooh, this isn't enough.
What you need to do is you need to bury it and it'll grow into more money.
So he buries it.
And then she just steals the coins.
I'm like, you.
already had the fucking coins.
Well, I don't get it.
But then she tells him, too,
like, you got to, like, wait for something to happen.
And this is where, like, he's standing there
in front of the church and a dog comes up
and pisses on him.
Oh, I must have looked away.
That's pretty much.
There's a thing where, like, there's a shot
where it's, like, far away.
You see, standing outside the church,
and it's just this puppet, just standing there.
And then a dog runs up.
And then it's this close up.
And Pinocchio's kind of, like, looking down.
And you just hear, like, tinkle noises.
Oh, ew, this puppet smells like piss.
Yes, because then it comes back out.
And you see the dog.
running away again.
Ew. Pissed on.
Why is your leg so thick?
Dog pissed on it.
But this comes to nothing, basically.
He realizes he got hosed.
The crickets, like, yeah, you shouldn't have given your money to that crypto scam.
I told you the market was going to fall.
Don't just scan any coupon code or QR code that comes up again.
Dude, by the way.
Oh, please.
That Super Bowl commercial was like just the floating QR, trust us, scan this.
Like, no. I didn't know who Justin scanned it. My wife.
Oh, really? What happened? Was your fucking savings account emptied immediately?
No, like, it turned out like everybody, a lot of people did it and it apparently crashed the site.
Yeah, that's the first of many crypto crashes you're going to be hearing about quite soon.
It's just a site that's like cryptocurrency. Yes. New money for, you know, so us rich people can enjoy more.
And you got to get on, get in on.
Because us rich people, we love sharing money.
You got to get in on the...
I mean, crypto, it's huge.
It's the backbone of the human trafficking industry.
You're going to want to be in on this.
If you don't invest in crypto now, how is the Silk Road going to stay in business?
If you want to...
The dark web will fall.
How else are we going to get all those poor Chinese dissidents onto a cargo ship across the ocean?
How else are you...
Who are then sold into slavery at salons?
How else are you going to get a slab of pure...
fentanyl delivered to your home without crypto.
You know what? That's the thing.
It's like, be honest with me. We're doing this
to finance the black market. Then I'll be
like, maybe I'll get involved.
Maybe I'll give you my money now. But don't act like,
oh, El Salvador McDonald's takes it now, so it's good.
Fuck you.
Agreed.
So all these, speaking of child slavery.
Yes. Pinocchio standing out
on the street, fucking cart drives by,
a bunch of his old friends sold into child slavery.
This is insane.
Oh, my God, this boy wagon.
They're like, it's no school, no rules.
It's just for boys.
I mean, like, what are the police doing?
You know what?
Stop arresting puppeteers.
Yep.
Let's look into the boy wagon situation.
You know what I mean?
All these innocent boys thought they were going to the Vatican.
But instead, they're going to Udo Kier has another business operation.
This is what's insane about this.
And I don't know if this is the book.
If the Disney movie does this, but I was like,
Udo Kier is also in on the boy hustle,
this dude's busy.
It's two different characters and at least in the Disney version.
So in the Disney version and the book,
there's the boy hustle business.
There is.
That definitely happens.
There's a guy called the coachman who,
oh, I watch that see if this guy's chilling looking.
There's the boy hustler and then there's the puppet hustler.
Meanwhile, we should say before we get to Fantasy Island,
which we'll take approximately two hours on,
the Martin Lando and
Geppetto and Leona
are on the hunt for Pinocchio
right she finds out that he's in the woods
blah blah blah blah so they're like
10 steps behind essentially right
and he gets in this cart
wow wee because I think the kid's like
come on all the real boys are going
and like well if I go in here I'll be a real boy
yep this fucking idiot and this peer pressure
and at this point cricket what worth you look
I don't know Pinocchio
pretty shaky, you know, honestly, like,
you never want to be in a situation
where someone's drafting a bunch of young boys
to get in the carriage, Pinocchio.
But if I go in there, I'll get eyebrows.
Yeah, I guess back then, in history times, of course,
where this takes place.
History times.
There was just excess boys, you know?
Totally.
You just have, especially in Italy, you're just shitting them out.
Oh, yeah.
And they're usually, they die in war or famine or plague.
and then sometimes they go to
the, you know, this coachman takes
him and that's fine too. I'm not sure if
the island. Yeah, I'm not sure if we have a war even at
the time. I don't, we have way more
boys than we're budgeted for.
Italy, I would say. Back then, Italy
was probably all these like dumb kingdoms
and they'd probably just kill each other for no reason.
Oh, for sure. And because wasn't
it like it was like tons of little kingdoms
and then like. Factoring
somethings or other that fought each other.
Yeah, I don't know. Got a fucking litter of Corleone's
fucking Roman the seaside.
But then Mussolini united everyone.
We forget about that part.
Well, what with everything that came later?
I mean, yeah, exactly.
And those trains, oh, were they on time?
The early hits of Mussolini do get dwarfed by the latter years.
And rightfully so.
I know, some zoomer's fact-checking me right now.
I better Google fucking Mussolini.
You know, you don't need to.
I mean, like, I know, I'll tell you the ending.
Well, you guys just do the podcast.
I don't need the police coming to my house here, okay?
You know, he had a really, really nice first wife and son.
Don't Google.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
So we get to whatever this island is.
There's this guy who is a clown who is fucking terrifying.
Big time.
You see the thing, though, I mean, this should have been a red flag for these kids because
this boy wagon is blowing through town.
They leave town.
and then like all of a sudden the wagon drives through a waterfall.
Now here's the thing, folks.
Good rule of thumb.
If a stranger picks you up and is giving you a ride and then that ride drives through an entrance to the Batcave-esque waterfall thing, maybe time to jump off and run back the way you came.
That's a really good lesson for Tim Drake, Dick Gray said like, oh no, I'll just come this way.
I would say any adult
who's telling you
I like my boy's wet
probably not good
probably not good
not who you want to hang out.
You're in trouble. You're in trouble.
Certainly don't want him behind the wheel of your house cart.
And this clowns like, hey, cool,
you guys can do whatever you want here.
I have all these blackboards with rules
that I want you to throw rocks at
to break them.
That'll lead up some time.
Because that's no rules.
There's rules right now.
but until you break that blackboard
you won't be free of those rules.
Oh, it's no rules just right.
Then you're going to bloom an onion.
Correction,
unification of Italy, 1848 to 1871.
So each shit, Mussolini,
glad they fucking hung you upside down.
Anyway, and hanging things upside down
to be fun to do at this fantasy island.
Oh, for sure.
Just fucking murder somebody.
Murder one of these little kids.
They should be killing each other, right?
They should go full Lord of the Flies.
Like, give them like a day.
They start stab at each other.
You need at least one to be taking things too far.
Feed them to the whale.
Come on now.
Because it's no rules.
And like, they're just like, I don't know,
it's a bunch of carnival games,
which would bore me pretty quickly.
Yep.
We've clearly passed into some fucking like John Waters
is like zero zone.
Like the fucking,
it's not even a blackboard.
It's like little circles of blackboard
that they're crack.
These two kids are sharing a jug of rocks and shells
that they're drinking.
And I was like, where did we?
go. What the fuck? Is this in the
original? I don't remember this. There also, there's
fucking bugs and shit and ice cream
cones. I'm like, are they eating that? But then
they're showing that they're also going to be
killing the bugs and that's bad.
But then they're also like covered in a bunch of shit
and Chelsea was like, I think that right there
she pointed to one kid was a literal
disgusting shit boy. Yeah, yeah.
Absolutely. Because it's like you could do anything
here. You could eat the shit if you want.
Honestly, the, what do you call it?
The OG, the Disney version,
I watched the just that scene.
this afternoon to be horrified again.
But at first, they're drinking beer.
They're smoking cigars and they're playing pool.
Hell yeah. That sounds a good old time.
Oh, we can't put that in our movie. That would be disturbing.
They're making podcasts.
Better have them eat cockroaches.
Real twisted shit, dude.
Then this, yeah, this is when like there's like this rocket thing and they're
shoving bugs in a rocket and even like the crickets like,
this sounds like a bad idea, Pinocchio.
They're playing like a shooting game
Speaking of the carnival shit
And like the one kid
It's it's a Lampwick like goes
And then Pinocchio goes
And like the kickback from the gun
Like makes him go flying
And Lampwick's like
Let me show you how it's done Pinocchio
And this thing is like
Holding onto this gun for dear life
Like no no it's mine
I'm gonna do it
It's my gun
My boomsic
And let he get shot
And it's just like, you're going to be okay.
But just sawdust falling out all over Harvick, I tell.
Are you a woodsman?
Are you a woodsman?
But there's a lot of attention paid to this big fountain, which will.
The squirting fountain, of like, a Zeus looking motherfucker.
And you do, I think before they go on the fountain, you do see a bunch of donkeys.
Yes.
And this is when, like, you see Udo Curie's like, oh, that's excellent.
send this to the circus, send this to the farm.
And, ooh, skin this one for my boots.
And I'm like, dude, you are fucking, you got kid boots right now, pal.
That's fucking awesome.
Kid donkey boots.
May I suggest not turning them into a donkey and just having human boots, right?
Today's episode is brought to you by Kid Donkey Boots.
Use promo code WHM to get your own kid bobby.
Include your personal experience.
Did you enjoy wearing those kid boots?
Using the donkey kid boots website was so easy.
A fucking jackass could do it.
Fucking great website.
So many kid donkey boots are just so high price today.
Where are the middle ground donkey kid boots?
And the cool thing is you get a box every month and you never know what kid donkey boots are going to be in the box.
They could be beach themed, circus theme, first day of school shoes.
There's a thing.
Udo Akir does make some mention
if he gets 20,000 lira
per donkey.
When this happened, I was like,
what's his end?
How could this be worth it?
It's not a bad deal.
Isn't it pathetic, though?
You think about the math there
that Geppetto
couldn't even muster a donkey
to pay all the, you know.
People are just kept in poverty
while Udo Kier just like lives on.
That's true.
I still don't understand how he can be
the fucking artistic director
of this puppet theater.
And then also his
managing this boy grift on the side.
Well, think about this way. I mean, we're always talking
about, you know, what really matters in my family.
He's got all this, he's got a very
large puppet family.
He's rich in love of these things that
don't talk and don't, aren't living.
Also, you, you, you, you
launder your money through the legitimate
theater. Nice. Oh,
the whole thing's a front.
Yeah, because the taxman comes. Oh, you just got,
oh, you made $40,000
lira last year doing this puppet thing. It's pretty great.
Meanwhile, you're making millions of
to do with the kid donkeys.
And I think it's a thing
where a puppet theater
is so unsettling
that the tax man is like
yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine.
Like, they don't want to go digging around there.
You're right, you're totally right.
And they see his home, which is a shack
and they're like, yeah, you're good.
That's fine.
You clearly don't care about yourself.
But here's the thing.
I would be like, yeah, have fun kids.
Do what you want?
Oh, here's a glass of water.
You know, like that seems like the way
if you want these kids to adjust this,
haunted water that makes you into a fucking
horrible animal. Right. That would be
one way to do it. As opposed, there's this
crazy roller coaster and
the kids are opening their mouths
because you're screaming and it goes in there.
Let me tell you.
We're doing slow motion.
These kids opening wide
and a bunch of waters
just getting all their mouth and all over
their faces and somehow the
slow mo gets even slower
mo. And I was like, I
got it. Please cut away from this.
What we need is more wet boy's-ness, okay?
We've only had about 17 shots of soaking wet boys.
How about a boy?
He's got, it's transforming into a donkey.
He's just got a tail for now.
Look at that boy right there, wetting up that mouth.
You wet up that mouth.
A couple wet boys, and then they turn into my little animals.
They're on the roller coaster.
And this scene is on YouTube.
You can just, if you're not even into, you can just watch this one scene.
and it is horrifying.
It's also on Shudder.
This is fucking horrible.
This scene, when he actually
does the full transformation, you get the
full on shot where he goes,
we were screaming.
We were screaming.
I think the neighbors thought
I was killing her last night.
Honestly, it's really uncomfortable.
And he's like, at first it's like,
he's like laughing.
And it's like, oh, fuck.
You know it's coming.
That's right.
You know,
it's coming. This kid's doing a really
committed he-haw.
The water pours out
of Pinocchio's bullet wounds.
That's a good detail.
That's what saves him from turning
into a full donkey. But he gets like the ears.
It's weird that
the water would work
against, you know. It's a different magic.
So is he going to turn to a rocking horse?
What the fuck?
That would be kind of a rock and donkey, dude.
Fuck, dude. Chepetto can finally ride them all night.
This is my new
bed
I will say though
I'm like getting my rocks off
when this is done Andrew
watch the
the Disney version
or at least that that scene
it is actually kind of worse
I have seen it
it's worse
it is because like the kid's like
screaming for his mother
and then like
there's then they show like
him they sort
the Disney version only
it's like sorting
it's like send this to the circus
bah ha ha
and it's like
what's your name
and if it goes
E.O. It goes into a box. And this other one's like, my name's
Alexander and I'm really scared. He's like, you're going to turn to a donkey
shooter at late. It's like fucking nightmare fuel. That's awesome. I never knew how
donkeys were made until. This is exactly it. Yeah. Boys, smoke cigars and drink
beer and they turn into donkeys. Can I tell you at the moment that this was happening
I think it was probably due to my screaming, but I feel like she was also getting the vibe that
the movie was weird. Marty, my dog, literally stood.
she was laying on the couch next to us
she literally stood up and like
I know it's an accident but like
it felt like it was a message
she stood up and when she adjusted
she put her paw down on the remote and literally
turned off the movie and I was like
this dog's got the right eye
they always know animals always know
exactly danger they smell she smelled danger
in the house yeah fucking donkey danger
dude
god damn this is fucked up but
also the thing that's weird
is they're on this roller coaster
and it goes like inside a cave
and then it kind of becomes like Temple of Doom
and I was like, oh, rad,
young, young Indiana Jones is in this.
It's very Donkey Kong country.
I was about to jump over a fucking bee.
Yes, totally.
Hit the barrel.
That's the way we'll get another ditty.
Watch out for the crocodile.
And then like he gets out of the fucking thing
because he's going to be the holes keep him
going whole donkey here.
And he's running around this island.
Don't eat the fucking water!
he's just like smashing glasses out of people's hands like a maniac and like a fucking paranoid thriller movie
this is the water and this is the well drink forth it what was the whole thing and live well
descender yeah descend that drink forth and ha ha ha ha ha that got a donkey got a donkey
and this is when udo cure's like oh you little pinocchio you're going to ruin everything
Dude, Udo Kier kind of has like
the greatest way to threaten a puppet
ever. He's like, I'm going to turn you
into firewood, pop it.
And it's Udo Kier
and it's of course wonderful. It's great.
Easy way for me to start rooting
for this man at this point. Totally.
Kill this fucking child. But dude,
yeah, the fucking, oh man,
Udo Kier, it's really something.
He gets totally dispatched right here because
Lampwick, the donkey like runs in
and this jackass kicks
this pervert right in the fucking nuts.
dude it destroys his testicles
his dick is you know
she Italy got unified and this guy's dick got
bifurcated yeah
I was going to say what's the opposite
it's got broken apart I mean if you
that horse could kill Don Draper's dad
so easily imagine what a donkey could do
to your dick absolutely
brutalized it you know I'm not that
impressed danger Aaron does this like
all the time this is nothing
what is the deal here
so like for some reason Udo
turns into the toxic avenger?
It's, I think something, something,
the water makes you,
makes you turn into an animal
that fits your personality.
Yes, it's how you behave.
So they're trying to make the kids
act like jackasses
to turn into a jackass.
So the water recognizes
Utokir, he acts like a monster.
A monster.
But yes, molester fish is pretty good.
Whales, the molesters of the sea, of course.
But when he, but like this one scene when it, it hits her, it like, he's like, he's like a two-faced situation. It is chilling. It's the witches level. Like when the, the boy's boiling down into the mouse. That's pretty bad. But yeah, I mean, he looks like that dude that turns to jelly in Robocop. He does. Absolutely. It's so disgusting. And he just kind of like flies out and like it's shot into the water or something. And he's just dead. Just totally dead. No, he comes.
that. He's the whale. Wait, what? Wait, what? He's the whale. Is he? Yes. Yeah, yeah. I did not get that
at all. He turns into the monster. Do I need to, I need to read the book series. No, I mean, it just
they're like, oh, it smells like chili peppers at here. See, so that's what I, I just didn't. I must
have been looking at the computer to make a note or looking at the IMDB. It's too crazy. There's
too much crazy shit happening that it didn't catch that this man turned into a whale. See, and so
that, okay, I didn't. I didn't.
get it. So that's why when they're in the whale, I was like, why are they trying to make this
chili pepper thing work? It's not fucking funny. Is that in the original? No, no, the, the whale is
just a whale. It's just a whale. Because that kind of makes more sense. Yeah, absolutely. The body
horror element is really unique to this one. But so, so wait a second. So when he was toxic
Avenger, that was like him in the process of turning into a whale.
And how did he get to the ocean? I mean, he falls in. He jumps in.
like, I got a fucking take it.
He just jumps in.
Meanwhile, Martin Landau
was like, that's it.
I'm going to find my little boy.
I'm going to go off and die on the water.
And she's like, you're a fucking idiot.
You're going to fucking die on you.
You don't even ought to swim, you piece of shit.
You didn't you fuck me in 20 years.
And now you're telling me you're in love
and you fucking going to drown, you piece of shit.
That is the most cowardly part about it is he's just like,
now that I'm physically too far away from you.
I'm going to let you know
I've been in love with you for 25 years.
What a fucking coward.
Totally, dude.
And she's so into him so clearly into them.
Listen, this guy could have been laying pipe
for the last quarter century
and avoided being a weird puppet shutting guy.
And could have had a little boy
the old fucking fashion way, man,
as opposed to magic puppet shit.
But that's the thing that I think
they're kind of oddly, weirdly,
disgustingly hinting at is because the tree
that Pinocchio comes from
it's not it's Martin Landau's initials and this
lady yeah it's a G heart
L kind of a thing so it's like
their initials
were in the magic it's a product
yeah so what happened
to the brother did they mention that did I just
blink and miss it there was probably some Italian
some tune dropped it to be out of
so then
he attacked just like this
that's
your move dude
go in after the piano
destroys him or whatever. That's where it should
have happened. Because that's the thing is we don't even know that
you hear something, something, oh, my brother
earlier on, and you don't even know that
that, like he, that needs to be knowledge to the audience
way earlier. Like he needs to, well, Pinocchio, my brother died and
I always wanted to have sex with his wife, but it was wrong to do
Pinocchio so I never had the courage. That would
like inform everything about this character
before he goes off and do a fucking fish in five minutes.
Maybe this is a thing. I know, I know he carved
the initials the day
the brother asked to marry
or whatever. But maybe
he was like, the thrill of
fucking my brother's wife.
That's what I want.
I know that that's not there.
Oh, that's a good point. She could go hang
laundry for all I like it.
Now, I think we're like
step brother and step sister.
Okay, I want the thing. Maybe we do
it on his grave. Oh, yeah.
Just one old time sick.
A top the grave fucking like McRub.
dude definitely oh man uh so when they get eaten by the whale yeah that's kind of a fetish now too
right oh yeah that's what it's called then people want to be like eaten now is this like
piecemeal or people want to be eaten whole great question i don't know you got it back so it's
you said what v o r and that's what it's being consumed by somebody usually by a giant i believe
or not always but sometimes giants are involved but is it sometimes like you want like a twisted
German to cook you up.
I think that might be part of it as well yet.
Right? That was that thing.
It was a thing.
There's a Star Trek novel where a twisted German cuts you up and eats you.
Mr. Data, someone's hungry.
No, it was a thing where that episode of that date is a cake.
Yeah, you're right. Mr. Data, I shouldn't have answered that Craigslist personal out of
Deutschland.
That's kind of what it was.
It was like 20 years ago.
And it was a dude who was like looking.
on the internet to find someone who would eat him whilst reading him a Star Trek novel.
Wow, which one?
I don't know.
Was it the one where Q is dating?
Oh, Troy's mother?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Or maybe it's the one where they meet the X-Men possibly?
Oh, also a possibility.
Now, when you are consuming me, you must turn my meat into a sausage and call it Picardverse.
So, Vore is like, like, fan fiction.
I mean, it's that.
I'm not heavily invested in it.
But you're a porno expert.
First of all, let's stop that right there.
It's porno enthusiast.
An Italian suffix related to eating vorophyllia,
typically an erotic desire or sexual fantasy,
to be consumed or to consume another.
Yeah.
And I think that however that goes,
whether it's all one bite, whether it's all the, you know.
Yeah.
But it's also, it may refer to a monster from the 1996 video game quake.
Oh shit,
VOR is going to get you, dude.
Oh, man, you see my new Vore tattoo?
The Quake franchise will never die.
I don't know how to tell you this.
I'm into Vore.
Hell yeah, I love Quake too.
The fucking game rules.
All right.
But that's my question was like, you know,
how much of this are people like IRLing?
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
What happened?
What happened?
Because, you know,
you click the images tab?
Yeah.
Because, no, no, I changed my search from vore meaning to vore porn.
And then I click the images tag.
Let me see, come on, turn around.
We'll do this on the air.
The cord's in the way.
You got to zoom in.
I can't see from across the room.
It's like there's a lady with people in your belly.
It's like cartoons.
That looks like X-Men, actually.
I mean, I think it's mostly fantasy-based.
You know what I mean?
That was the question.
Is this like, is it now, is this-
It's illegal to eat people.
Okay, so there's like a lady inside this,
monster and is this a, is this
monster, is it in the monster's
balls and there's like come coming out of
its dick or is that? Oh, that's
a, that is a photograph. Hi,
officer. No, we're just, he was
searching it. It's not illegal.
It's all legal, man.
Here's a thing. It should be illegal.
When they're in, we lost
Eric, he's just going to be doing this. Yes.
So, they keep. When they're inside
this whale,
Pepe the Cricket makes a comment that he
is indeed clamophobic.
but this is the grossest part because I think of the Disney one they start a fire and he he
lets them out yeah in this one it's so much grosser yeah absolutely and it looks like it's a real
to set the scene for people who will never watch this movie thankfully it's very Nickelodeon
looking in there you know what I mean like dude that is so funny you said that because when
they're crawling around this thing I made a note that it looks like Martin Lando guest start on
double-diff. I got to get the flag.
It's up the nose.
Like every other page of this script,
the note on it is more wet.
Yes. They are dripping
in this scene, him and the puppy.
Pinocchio, I got covered in the gag.
I swear to fucking God,
Summers, I'm going to find this flag
and this peanut butter sandwich.
I guess you can do this on television.
Ah, definitely.
Egg row, Craig.
All right, so the movie ends.
I do want someone to Photoshop
Martin Landau in a guts uniform.
Absolutely. He has the jumpsuit on.
He's getting ready to climb the agro-crang.
Let's go to Mo for the results.
Mo.
Well, Brian F. from Orlando
clocked in at one minute and 14 seconds.
Amy B. clocked in at two minutes and 14 seconds.
And Martin L. from Hollywood, California.
clocked in at four hours and two minutes.
Also, he's dead.
Well, well, he died in 2017.
So he could have, he could have played guts.
He could have been in guts.
Yeah, absolutely, the 90s.
That was actually his final words.
I could have climbed the agro-crag, Craig.
Lily Doc.
And that is the egg.
End of guts, EuroLeague.
But it's so much gross.
It's disgusting.
First of all, if I'm trying to get out of a whale,
I think I would try to get out the back way.
No, I think I'd poke it with my erection.
And if I don't have that, my lying nose.
Yeah.
I mean, the back way, though,
it's like mucus.
Well, you got a futz with the stomach acid.
Got it.
Yeah, that's true.
So it's probably cleaner to get out the mouth.
anything that works if I'm stuck in a whale
I'm just trying everything
if you had a knife
you just start cutting down I guess
that's true stomping on the belly
like I just be doing whatever I can
but instead he's making puppets out of garbage
in this thing
he's like totally lost
and he's like hello little Pinocchio
how are you doing your crab garbage
that's where I would
like I would drown myself in stomach ass
what are you doing building toys
no I'm not settling in for a life
inside this. No, no. All is lost.
But like the
Robert Redford movie. That's right. Which
he, his boats like
subsides and he gets vored
by a whale.
Robert Redford.
Google Robert Redford for, Eric.
See what happens then? No, don't.
I will say the one
shot in this entire movie that I
found very effective was
when gross little Pinocchio's
rowing out to see. Yeah.
And they do this super
sky.
high shot looking down and you see
the shadow of the whale. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Because like
deep sea monster stuff freaks the
fuck out of me. And I was like, oh fuck, that's terrifying. But then
immediately the movie, the Adventures of Pinocchio started again and
all of that washed away. But like in the emotional
I guess finale here, he's like lying. They're close to them out. They can't
get out. They're like, I don't know Pinocchio. We're not going to make it.
He's like, I never loved you dead. He's like, well, that's pretty
shitty shitty and like his nose grows and he's like you're a terrible father his nose grows
I've never touched my bump wait wait wait terrible father the nose goes back in well how would he know
either way they hadn't had a chance to you know be father and son but then he's like oh you're lying
pinocchio i get it now and like i think you are definitely generous with all your money
Actually, this is really fucking weird
because I wasn't in that scene earlier
So I had no idea you could do this
You're right
I'm really impressed with the way
That you held back your emotions
For the one woman you love for your entire life
It impales the way
You're totally not a sexual pervert
So it breaks off or something
It breaks off in the hole
He hits the back wall
And it breaks off
He snaps his own nose off
Nasty as fast as fucking
Bone. Is there a word for that for porn?
I don't know. Nose taken off?
No, but this is a rancor shit kind of.
You know what I mean? Like in the mouth.
Yeah. That's true.
Despite his own wood face.
See, before I learned this evening that that was Udo Kier.
Yeah.
I was like, fuck you Pinocchio.
Now that whale can't fucking breathe properly, you asshole.
But it's the villain of the film.
So it makes sense that the movie doesn't care.
I think we should kill whales.
After I saw this movie, I established that belief.
You really want to nuke the whales post.
That's what you're saying.
This is the message we're giving to children.
And Gene Siskel gave it a thumbs up.
Pervert.
You know what's weird about you sent the, you know what's weird about that clip?
It was featured on Siskel and Ebert at the movies.
What's wild about that clip is like they do the thing where they're like explaining what's happening to what the story is.
Yeah.
And they're like, yeah, the name of Pinocchio creates a wooden boy.
And then he turns to a real boy, which is the last three.
Spoiler alert, dude.
I mean, I guess that's, yeah, I do agree with you.
Like, it's a little bit of both, but like, it is a spoiler.
It's the end of the movie.
That's what everyone know.
Everyone knew.
But it's the end of the movie.
You just made me think about something, though, because I was stunned.
Stunned is a bit much.
I was like, oh, it's weird that it's a JTTT.
vocal performance so on
the heels of the Lion King. It's weird that it's
not live action. Do you think if they
had like the money and like actual
technical prowess to like
Gandalf Hobbit the situation?
Like when the puppet came to life, it would have been like
JTT but they would do like makeup to make it
look like he had like puppet joints
or whatever. So it could be
the star like in the movie. We're chilling
actually. Yeah. Yeah. Then this puppet? I don't know
man. It's tough. It's the dead eyes.
You got to wonder, I don't know.
You're describing like a centa bite, right?
So they got blown ashore and Martin Lando and him are just,
he even says he like, he hugs him.
He's like, I'm sorry, Papa, that I'm a puppet.
I'm like, dude, you have shamed this kid.
There's a real fucking problem.
He is going to make up.
Chef's kiss.
Dot gift fucking excellent Catholic, dude.
Absolutely.
But he cries and it lands on his weird.
heart scar thing
and that's the magic
that turns him into a real boy.
Wow.
And here's Jonathan Taylor Thomas
and somehow
this scene on the beach
isn't the end of the movie.
There's like 25 more minutes left.
But we won't talk about them.
We're done.
But I mean one, thank God you don't have to see
the puppet anymore. Yeah. It's just Jonathan Taylor
Thomas. But the other thing that's weird is like
when it turns into Jonathan Taylor Thomas
live action, then it turns into the JTT
Randy Taylor from Home Improvement, little stinker
attitude. Yes. And that's not the way Pinocchio carries himself
through the whole movie. And then the end of the movie is like, hang on a second. I
got to get revenge on BB Newer than Rob Schneider. Yeah. And you're like,
but you weren't a little shithead before. That's because you need Jonathan Taylor Thomas
to do his Jonathan Taylor Thomas thing. No, I know, but I'm saying, it's just
fucking dumb. It sucks. So he tells
them like, he tells
him to go to drink the water
at this place. It's going to great
to make you're rich or something. And then like, oh, they go
off to do it and then later on, because
there's later on and later on,
towards the very end,
we see they've turned into, what was it, a fox
and a cat? It's a
weasel and a pussy,
you see what's going on. Nice.
See what they did there. And
but he, and Lampwick apparently
bullshit is no longer a donkey.
They have a donkey fake.
out though. Yeah. Yes. Because he's
like, come on, Lampwick, let's
go. And they cut, and it's a donkey
and you're like, oh, now Jonathan
Taylor Thomas befriended this donkey. That's
nice. And then the little Lampwick kid
comes out from behind the donkey
and runs down the street. Now it's like,
not cheap. All those donkey kids are dead.
It would be amazing if they were able
to get everything back to normal except for the teeth.
Oh, God. Hi, guys.
My life is hell. Oh, my God.
Just a bunch of little kids with donkey teeth.
Huge teeth in their mouth. They're out there,
The last joke of the movie
Which sucks
He gives him a big log
Pinocchio gives his dad a big log
And he's like, could you carve me a girlfriend?
It's disgusting
It's a chestnut tree
Because I want a chestnut inside of it
Listen Pinocchio, you're young
You don't want to do that
I've done it. It's not worth it
Your scar, your schwanz
You want to play the field for a bit
Don't settle so quickly.
Well, and it is weird, too, because also, like,
Jepetto's getting laid, by the way.
Him and Leona are banging constantly now.
You know, the Italian Cialis over there?
Now I'm just realizing, you know,
He makes one of these sex puppets for himself.
Sure.
Howl's at that whole, oh, little splinters in there.
So he, like, puts, like, cold cuts or something.
Oh, I see.
And then you just, like, clean it out every once a month or something.
Oh, yeah, once a month.
about this. Sure. Definitely a good idea.
Yep. I've been coming in this
non-stop for 30 days. Better
wash it out.
Come on. Pinocchio,
get your little hands up there to get
out the cold cuts, the ham
and the salami. Get my ham
out of my ass. What he
says, though, because he's like, make me a
girlfriend. And he's like, oh, no,
Pinocchio, I don't know if I'm ready
to deal with this, you're turning into quite the little
teenage poon hound.
Yeah. Which is
dumb but yeah so pseudo
it's funny it's a sequel
set up but when they made the sequel that
wasn't part of it. No it was not part of it at all
we should say the plot of the sequel
is Martin Landau who returns to
play Geppetto Jesus Christ
something something magic curse he gets turned
into a puppet so that I'd like to see
so what Martinando like the ponies what's
going on a huge gambling addict? I think so
dude some of them old fuckers man
you know something had to happen scratchers I bet he was
a scratcher I have to win back my
Oscar
it's at the gas station
I took to the cleaners by the
scratchers
dude it's bullshit
the end narration
of course is from
fucking Pepe the cricket
and he's just like
yeah everything worked out
great for Pinocchio
and Geppetto
as for me
because I'm sure
you're curious
I retired to Lake Como
and bought a house
I'm neighbors
with George fucking Clooney
good night everybody
that would have been
the joke of it was today
yep oh Laurie
oh
And then in the oddest turn, in a movie that is filled with odd turns, over the credits are two Stevie Wonder songs.
Were they written for this movie?
That I didn't look up, but there is another, there's an instrumental credited to Stevie Wonder that's just called like Pinocchio's Evolution or something.
I think they stole these songs from hard drives.
These songs sound so weird.
like the hold on to your dream song
it literally sounds like he did a vocal performance
for a song he did not like
and then they put orchestration behind it
it doesn't like it just sounds like blank
it's very unstevie yes
I turned it off immediately I turned it off immediately
so I didn't get to hear this
it's weird because it's like it's a Stevie Wonder song
that's this mass orchestration
and it ends and you're like that was weird
and then immediately a second Stevie Wonder song
starts like why not open your movie
yeah the Stevie Wonder song totally
Why don't you be stamping that all over everything?
What else do you have?
Nothing.
You got Jonathan Taylor Thomas's voice.
And the guy from the Mission Impossible movie show.
Among other things.
That is the end of the Adventures of Pinocchio, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll get right into it.
Recommendation, Steve Sadek.
We will start with you.
I would say absolutely not.
This was creepy.
It drags as well.
It has that feel like, you remember those?
I think I'm going to be.
Those NBC made for TV movies.
Totally.
It has that feel to it.
Oh, right.
Like the Merlin mini series.
Yes.
And like the fucking the Gulliver's Travels, Ted dances.
It's got that vibe to it.
So that's to say it's not very good.
It's a no, it's creepy.
It's all hell.
I do kind of want to rewatch a Disney one, though,
even though it scarred me quite a bit.
It's a quick like 72 minutes or some shit, dude.
You won't regret it.
Chris Cabin.
No, but I guess I do have to.
It is a little bit of seeing his,
believe there are some parts of this
yep that are so horrifying
like I genuinely
like you wouldn't do this
for a kid's movie this is too unsettling
at this point yeah like we were in that
in the 90s you kind of were allowed to do this
Ernest scared stupid and shit like that
was allowed to do this gross shit
and they're like no it's for kids don't worry about it
and like no no no it's fucking terrifying
yeah
that's the only way otherwise this was a really
difficult walk for me I had to pause many
times
You got to do it. I'm going to say, yes, yes. See this movie. Seeing as believing because it is bone chilling and it is out there. I could see this being like a fun group watch. You get some people over. You start doing like, you know, shots. Yeah. You do whippets. You do speed balls, whatever you got to land around the house. And you'll have fun with it. I think you will. I got to say I'm in the seeing as believing camp too. And if it is a group watch,
B-Y-O-B-B, dude, bring your own barf bag
Because your friends will be throwing up watching this thing
It's just, it's, you know, I said it early
Like, it's a Henson thing, you know, so like
It's curious, you know, at least for me, to watch them fail so hard.
Yeah.
This puppet doesn't work.
It's really bad looking.
Apparently it took 12 operators for this thing to go.
Like, it's just awful.
And yeah, I don't know.
The rest of it's whatever.
but like just looking at this puppet looking at the donkey transformation also a lot of stuff to scream at your TV about and the cool thing is it's one of those movies that both Amazon and Apple are like yeah it's fucking garbage you can rent the HD for 299 so it's an even it's a cheap rental too but that is going to do it for the adventures of Pinocchio from 96 directed by Steve Barron big thanks to Heidi from Arkansas we have to say theme for all of these um listener request
Press Month episodes, including Heidi
here, each one that
we selected, single call in.
Yeah, really weird. Strange. Wild,
wild shit. We had some movies
that had like 50 calls for it.
And somehow, and people might not,
people might think we just put like every title
in a hat. No, we put like 50
pieces of paper for the one movie
that was most requested.
And it just didn't get pulled.
If the deck is stacked, you know, we
acknowledge every call. We count every one.
So totally weird that this is happening.
but if you want more we hate movies
of course check out patreon.com slash
we hate movies last month we put out
a banger two part WLM
on Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill both volumes
there's a separate episode
for each volume that's out there
rocking and rolling man
yes and this month we'll be doing a
WLM select from you the audience
on the Warriors
oh yeah I'm kind of excited to get into that
gritty nigh city I heard it's called
totally Scuz Town NYC
in the 70s love it man yep and we'll have another
Melro 210 for you. Come up very soon. Yeah. We also, big, big announcement I'll do here on
our commentary for the month of March. There you go. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, ladies
and gentlemen. And for UK listeners out there, that's the Philosopher's Stone. Don't want
anybody getting confused about your stone movies. We're going to be doing the full cut to
all seven hours. To our friends in the UK, you see here, people are too dumb. They didn't
know what a philosopher was. And that's not a joke.
are so dumb. We know sorcerers
though, of course. Well, yeah,
they're the ones that are telling you to try to pull you
away from Jesus, dude, with all of their magic.
With their fucking Vore and whatever else.
Philosophy, that's
a college term. Vorioso.
A full-length commentary
where I'm sure Vore will come up.
The sucking hat. You get
the sucking hat, is what I heard.
Yeah. Okay, good.
That sounded like you were taking an improv
suggestion. I heard sucking hat.
Don't worry. We'll have more material.
Eric is on several mailing lists now.
Yeah, I really regret not connecting to your Wi-Fi for those searches.
Oh, thanks.
There's also some listener-requested animation damnation going down.
Yeah, on Double Dragon, the cartoon. We've never touched that. That'll be fun.
That'll be a lot of fun. On the Gleap Glossary, we'll be talking about Bosque, the Trandotian Lizardman bounty hunter.
I'm excited about that.
You know, I should part of me is like I should just do Elon's.
Slees Bagano on our Star Wars side show.
But I'm like, I kind of like it when people, every year,
people call in like 50 times that it's never picked.
It'll be the victory whenever it does.
Yeah, so I'll let it ride.
Let it ride.
Those people won't feel like they wasted all these years.
Exactly. But on the main feed, of course, next Tuesday,
we got a brand spanking new episode for you.
Listener request month rolls on. Steve,
whose selection are we tackling?
Or what is the selection?
Don't matter who selected.
Yeah, we'll get to that next week.
I will say,
HOOA! Because it's Simone S1M0N3.
Yeah. I think, you know, it's a good time to tackle that movie
given the CGI monsters that are unleashed on Disney Plus.
I've never seen it, so I'm curious to see what this thing is.
I haven't seen it either, but this movie was trying to warn us.
Yeah. And nobody saw it.
I remember it being middling, but it's probably worse than I remembered it.
It's kind of like a response to Final Fantasy, the Spirits Within With.
everybody thought
fucking actors were over people
we're not doing anymore
which is hysterical
because I went back
and I looked at some screenshots
from that movie
and dude there's video games
that look better
in that fucking movie now
totally so until next week
with Al Pacino in Sammo
I'm Andrew Jubin
Steven Say that hurts
Chris Cabin
take it easy
That was a hit-gum
That was a hit-gum podcast.
