This is a headgum podcast.
This week on the program, it's like die hard in a mall with total idiots.
It's Paul Blart Mall Cup.
I'm Andrew Jupin.
Stephen Siddak.
Eric Blart.
Chris Cabin.
Ben Blart.
Thank you.
The Lart Brother.
Oh, shit.
And we hate movies.
Hello, everyone, welcome to the fine program, as always, the summer blockbuster extravaganza continues this week with Paul Blart-Balkop and I know what you're thinking at home.
It was released in January, which you are right.
However, thanks a lot, America.
This was a major, major motion picture.
Over $100 million.
$183 million.
Wow.
So I think it qualifies in America.
You'll recover.
And next week we'll have a hot summer sizzler.
Yeah, that's right.
Kevin James needed a third house, everybody.
Help the man.
And speaking of hot summer sizzlers, we're bringing one of our hottest buds back to talk about
this one.
Worcester.
Oh, I'm roasting over here.
Oh, my God.
Look at that hot little tenderloin.
That nice cut of beef.
I do remember that January being quite balmy.
Yes, and Ben is very balmy.
Ben, of course, also on the Hooked on T.J. Hooker podcast.
That's right.
Sort of relates.
It's a portly cop that's disrespected.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Although I don't think Paul Blart quite has the heavy hand that R.T.J. does.
And also, Thomas Jefferson Hooker, for what
Went to the Academy
became an actual police officer.
This dude is just farting around
a food court man.
But I do think they both had sweaty tits.
Yeah.
In both cases, they had
hot milkers. And a little bit
they both got a little support upstairs.
I'll tell you that much.
That's right.
They're wearing hats. Both of them are
wearing hats in hair. I think KJ's got
that thing sewn on.
You couldn't get that thing off with a
jackhammer. Absolutely.
This shitty motion picture
and don't worry, it's shit
is from 2009 directed
by Steve Carr, who you may know.
Beep.
Is the Helmer behind?
No, it's two R's.
Two R's.
Not BEEPBee.
What is that?
That means railroad.
Yeah, that's Bip Boop.
That's not BEEPBee Pee-Bee.
Well, Mr. Bip-Boo-Choo-Choo directed
next Friday.
Okay.
Dr. Doolittle Dose.
Uh-huh.
Daddy Daycare.
Oh, great.
Rebound.
Oh, man.
What's that?
That's a movie where Martin Lawrence is a wacky basketball
coach for children.
It sounds better than this.
And are we done yet?
Oh, boy.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I was.
Yeah.
With the exception I would argue
of next Friday, which
isn't the original, but it's fine.
Otherwise, this filmography,
100% episodes as far as the I could see.
Oh, yes. Do you know who
co-wrote it? No.
The guy when Elaine's
hair gets the funk in it.
And she has to get the boyfriend.
The boyfriend is the co-writer of this movie.
The guy did the voice of Sala of the Cat.
This guy, I saw the name pop up, Nick Backeye.
Yes.
And I was just like, I don't know.
You were blown away.
Well, here's why I was blown away.
A couple of months ago, I was talking with a buddy of mine,
trying to remember this thing on ESPN called Tale of the Tape from like the 90s.
Do you guys remember vaguely remember Tale of the Tape?
It was like this.
thing where, it was Nick Pachai, but he
gets on and he kind of runs down the
stats of two, like Michael Jordan versus
you know, John
Kruk or whatever.
That was an easy
comparison for me to make that week.
But like he puts out some numbers and then he's like
Advantage Jordan.
Okay. Advantage Jordan.
Advantage Kruk. And like,
it makes his whole thing about it. But the funniest
part of it is when he goes,
he puts two things out and they're kind of like
funny comparison. He goes,
advantage push
oh push
that means there's no advantage
no advantage it's a tie
is that a gambling thing yes
yeah yeah yeah that's why Steve knew it immediately
that's the Bronx
right exactly you're got your confirmation
they hand you the bookies listings
no incorrect when you're playing
silo with your buddies
you know every you tie with a friend you push
and then you go on to the next round
that's right you push it
similarly look the Nick Pekai thing
on that Elaine episode
of Seinfeld, the B.O. episode.
The Smelly Car.
He's sniffing her.
Smelly Steve Car.
She is a 1990
whatever Elaine Benis. And she is so
horny for this chubby ginger dick.
I've never seen anything like it. She's like
Jerry, I got to get the smell out of my
hair because I got to go fuck this ginger
ghost. It's so pale
you can see through this guy.
I've seen this man in a sweater
vest and I had to take my panties off.
They were just useless at that point.
It's just insane that Elaine Benis was
dropping panties for this guy. I think he might be the
the least attractive dude Elaine
bangs on that show. Yet he was
sponge worthy. He was.
That artist was no prize
neither, right? The guy with the trial.
Or big date.
Oh yes.
They're a big date on Saturday night.
Oh, right.
She stops off for candy. Let it
go. It's Elaine. Come on.
Can we please go to the
polka notes?
This starts with a
CGI badge of the
The score, this fucking in the line of fire opening that we're trying to do.
Is that what that?
I was like, is this, is this police academy?
I can't remember.
It's the top gun.
Not the badge part, but just that like, it's pseudo-marching music and you're getting
the drums and it's a lot of like, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, blard.
Blah, blah, bo, bo, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
That's because it reminded me of a movie we have often threatened to do on this show.
The Dragnet movie.
Oh, right.
When it opens and it's doing the same thing
It's going over a badge
And it has that shitty fucking
To enforce the law
To enforce the law
The problem with Dragnet
The movie is every year
One more person who knew about that movie
Dies of Old Age
And like
It's true
Just every year we just lose
An opportunity to do that film
The kids love Paul Blark
They love the Blark
Have grown up on this
I saw someone
I think maybe was a review
But I was saying like
Oh my Lord
this is not exactly as funny as I thought
it was when I was 12.
Oh, you're 12 when this came out.
I'll be out back killing myself.
Yes, we're old ghosts in the Vaughnville Theater.
2009.
Yeah, that's right.
So like nearly 27 now or something.
Question about the year 2009.
I also noticed that in a, I guess,
is this a volcano Dante's Peak situation here?
Yes, observe and report.
Which is the superior film.
A much better movie.
Oh my God.
Jody Hill.
I remember like that a lot.
Yeah, like it was like dark and had like weird corners too.
I haven't seen it in a while but I remember really enjoying that one.
It's like it's like this but with like real overtures of like Travis Bickle shit.
Well, because I mean it's like it asks the question, what if you really wanted to be a cop?
Do you know what I mean?
Right.
As opposed to like I want to be a cop because I want to save everyone in my community because I'm a fucking cartoon cat.
And I have a kid and no wife because that's.
That's what tested well or whatever.
This is just such manufactured fucking garbage.
Oh, sorry.
Do I cut Joe?
Did I cut that rant off, Dennis?
No, no.
It's just also like, happy Madison.
I mean, they've had their moments.
Sure.
This is why we don't have comedies anymore.
This is why we don't have comedies.
This is the biggest, if I read today correctly,
this is the biggest grossing non-Adam Sandler, Happy Madison production.
Wow.
So eat shit, Nick Swordson.
Well, I was going to say, what do you got there?
Nick Swordson, you got fucking
Grandma's boy. What was that
Nick Swartson movie where he was like he was in
fucking Larson? I think grandma's boy might be the
better one. Oh, that is
better than this. Yeah, better than this.
Yes, for sure. It was a better. Which is insane
because it's like, all right, Sandman, who do you want
leading this movie that you don't want to star in?
Fucking Kevin James or Alan
Covert? That's the guy.
Yeah. That's the guy. I never remember
because he's covert.
What was? A quick question, Ben.
were you a King of Queens man growing up or like
not growing up
does he look 57 years old you never know
people have weird you you're a Beckerhead over here
I was a Beckerhead professionally
I was literally getting paid to watch CBS
Worldwide distribution of Ted head
The Ted head
Yeah but King of Queens was not that long ago
Right but it's like 2005 I think 2006
I mean I was never all that engaged
Whenever it came up
98, King of Queens, by the way.
That's when that started.
98 to 2007.
So, geez.
I think I recall being surprised
when someone's like,
you know, Pat and Oswald's in that show?
Really?
Everybody's going to eat, Ben.
Jerry Stiller.
I mean, like, it had some hitters in there.
I watched a couple episodes of Raymond.
I would get into Raymond occasionally if you were like,
if things were getting dire on the dial.
I was not a Ray,
Ray, man.
No.
I've never,
I don't,
I think to this day,
I have not watched a full episode.
of everybody loves Raymond. I have somehow avoided this. I dodged that. I dodged King of
Queens. I looked at both of them and I was like, these are aggressively not for me. I do not
give a fuck about either. I also professionally watched it when I was at Nielsen having to do the
what, Becker? No, no, no, no, King of Queens. Oh, oh. So you're the most well first. I am the most
well first. And I also, I was for a moment in Kevin James's Corner because I thought the stand-up special
The stand-up specials are funny.
The stand-up specials are funny.
Those early specials,
the physicality.
Sweat-small stuff is the one.
I think he maybe had some other
like comedy central,
you know,
lead-ups to sweat-the-sploss stuff.
I think we got to go back
and listen to those.
I'm wondering if there's something
insane in that set.
I mean,
there probably is.
There might be,
yeah.
I remember,
I remember it being very about his energy.
Like he wasn't really getting political or anything.
I think it's very Gaffigan-esque of like,
oh, man,
don't you love fast food,
et cetera.
Well, he's got the great bit that they kind of...
I thought they were, like, maybe referencing a little bit
towards the end of this movie when
Bobby Conavale is trying to get in the minivan
and they can't get the door open, because he's got that great bit
in sweat, the small stuff about, like, getting frustrated
when you're trying to unlock the door and the person's hitting it
at the wrong time, and he's doing the, like, what's the noise he's making?
He's like, c cuck cuck cuck, cuck, no, no, try it now.
Cuckoo cuck, cuck.
Yeah, so we start off.
He is at the New Jersey State Police Academy.
right doesn't seem like a lot of fun things going on like the police academy i know
tit sweat out of the gate he's sweating the big stuff
he's sweating at all it's fucking two big things yes his hooters his hooters are lactating
he's also the tiniest cadet uh that he all of a sudden it's like rap he's a tiny one
and that like and this just begins what is a long line of just humiliation like dude
this guy has a shame kink i'm certain of it
There's just no other way to explain what's going on here.
The amount of times I wrote the word humiliated or variations of in my notes,
which is a record setting thing.
Which is why it couldn't be a Sandler movie, right?
Because Sandler would never deface himself like this.
The reason Kevin James is in the Happy Madison verse is because Chris Farley died.
You look at that grown-ups cast and it's like, well, someone looks an awful lot like somebody else and wasn't on Saturday Night Live at all.
One of these things is not like the other.
I, every time I see him, I'm like Angelina Jolie and change and like, that's not my Chris.
Oh, man, you just reminded me of something I want to rant about really quickly.
Okay.
It's so fucking disgusting.
But what about the plot of the movie?
Oh, no, we're going to, there's so much plot to get to.
These AI art losers, these fucking people, dude.
I saw this thing the other day.
So it's really out of nowhere.
So there's, yeah, blarded NFTs.
No, no, but no, Chris, Chris talking about.
No, NFTs was the last hustle.
This is the new one.
Chris talking about Farley is what kicked this loose because the thing was we used AI art to generate images of what all these dead stars would look like today.
And here's old Chris Farley.
Here's old John Lennon.
Eat my ass, you fucking loser.
Also, that's old news.
We already know old John Lennon.
We've all seen yesterday.
We know what old John Lennon looks like.
Don't fuck with me on this.
Carlisle with a little gray.
Yeah. It's fine. He's looking good.
This whole AI thing, it's just like, it's not like the computer becomes alive and then
draws this image. It's just a, it's a fucking Photoshop program.
Yeah. It's like that old thing. You remember that bonus game? I think it was in Super
Mary Brothers 3 where it's like, it's like the toad head. It's spinning and the flower is
spinning and the star is spinning and you have to make it match. It's basically that, but a little
bit, a little bit better. Right. No, I agree. But it. But it.
excreted.
Because that's what, I mean, the AI
makes these images or text or whatever
from ingesting the internet
images or text or audio.
The audio is weird. I mean, AI,
am I a Canadian starting a sentence?
Yeah, I can't.
And I mean, like, anyone who takes it true seriously, I just take it.
But then you, that's the other part of it, right?
Is the people presenting it are like,
look at the amazing stuff.
Like this fucking idiot I saw the other day.
Did you see the one with the Mona Lisa where it's like,
The AI imagined what it looked like if it was even fine.
And it's like the Mona Lisa sitting next to Mordor.
You're fucking idiots.
It's so stupid.
I am kind of compelled now, though, to query like Mona Lisa like smoking a cigar.
You can do it, dude.
We're living in a cold and age bed.
It can happen.
You know, you can step that up from a cigar if you want.
Look, I will allow but one thing from AI.
You can put in this prompt.
Show me a good movie starring Kevin James.
because it can only be, like, created out of nothing.
Oh, dude, that's how you fucking war games it.
It's like the only winning move is not to play.
Professor Fott, would you like an ice game of the suckers?
The Russian nukes are armed.
Hitch to here comes the boom.
Hitch to here comes the boom.
We can't win.
We can't win.
Well, unfortunately, instead of an AI behind the pen, we had Nick Bikai, which is why
sweaty tits were like.
Of course.
in the first minute.
He's doing the obstacle course, of course.
But he's doing it really well, though.
He is so well.
Because Kevin James weirdly athletic.
That's just like Farley.
Exactly.
That's the thing that makes it almost too farley ask.
I would almost prefer him to get even more athletic.
Half this movie is standing on the Segway.
Yes.
It's a nothing thing.
Anyway, he gets a diabetic coma during this fucking run.
This is his big fat character trait.
Hypoglycemia.
you know, which he is, to be fair,
he is unbelievably terrible about managing his
situation. Yes, I mean,
because he's a child. This is a high school movie.
This is a high school movie, but this is Angus.
Don't you dare. Don't you do.
Angus is a great movie. I will not hear you.
Angus is fine. What works about Angus is it's a fat child,
not a fat man.
Fine. Man child.
This is a man child.
and they, and they, it's like,
but you have a man child and a kid,
there's too much.
George C. Scott isn't in this yet.
That's very true.
You know what?
I watched, Chris,
I rewatched Angus over the pandemic.
And it's fine motion.
It's a good movie.
You know, I was channeling George C. Scott
when watching it.
Oh, yeah.
Turn it off.
Oh, absolutely.
Turn it off.
The weird thing about it being hypoglycemia
was like when he falls and he face plans
like right before the finish line.
Well, but,
what you hear is like a loud snoring.
Yeah.
I was like, oh, he's got narcolepsy.
I mean, the thing, like, but you're right.
Like, you're an adult manage it.
Bring like granola bars and you'll be flying.
And if this is an adult movie, have him have a necrophilia instead of necrol, whatever.
No, necromanic starring Kevin James.
No, thank you.
No, I'm not.
I've seen both of those.
Listen, I've seen both of those necromanic movies.
I'll tell you right now, no one would be into that.
But listen, Paul Blart, this character, would be fucking the dead.
Right, sure.
He would be doing some real names.
Because there's something definitely repress.
If you are taking this kind of punishment and just blowing it off as like, oh, well, oh, God, I can't wait to see my, my mother and my daughter tonight.
And everybody hates me.
Okay.
Family Annihilator vibes written all over.
He absolutely does.
It's kind of stunning that he's not the one that Tres delayed.
siege on this mall. Right. He's just like just one day something fucking snaps in his head.
Which would be more interesting. I guess it's more like observant report. That is kind of more
like observant report. Yeah. So yeah, it's like, oh, you're probably wondering how I got here.
Well, hypoglycemia. Let's go home where I can pathetically eat dinner with my mother and daughter.
This whole thing about like, get me a piece of pie and he's putting peanut butter or Shirley Knight.
That's a real question for the room here because I don't know. I've never seen it before.
I'm not a pie guy. I don't eat pie in any
striped. Which is insane, by the way.
The comments are lighting a fire.
I know that. And I will bring it up every time.
I'm a cake person.
But I don't have a sweet tooth. Just give me Doritos.
But I don't, but the peanut butter on pie,
Ben, are you put peanut butter on pie?
That's demented.
No, I've never heard of it. I've never heard of it.
If I saw very clearly, it was like a chocolate.
Sure. Some kind of thing, like a ganache.
I don't know.
But this is clearly like a blueberry or.
a raspberry pie and he's
smothering it in peanut butter. So is it supposed to be
a funny thing that he's doing? Oh, it's supposed to be
hilarious. It's supposed to be so funny how fat
he is. Got it. Like, oh my god,
this guy is so fat. He's adding all
these calories onto the pie
after the dinner and he needs the pie
immediately. Isn't that so funny? Oh, by
the way, his kid's fat too. Laugh at
that and here's a picture of his
ex who was a migrant that was
fat, which is the doubles
the darkest sin on earth. A migrant
con artist. That's not
It's so fucking insane that this movie,
it can't just be like his wife left him
because he's a fucking mall security guard.
No, no, no, no.
This is a fucking undocumented person
that quote unquote scammed him.
Like, what a fucking thing to throw in your movie.
And left him with a daughter too.
Like, I mean, like, even if you scam somebody,
you get pregnant by them, you take the kid.
That's the move, right?
But I feel like it's just this undercurrent of like,
see, see what they do.
Well, that's the thing is because he is.
is the type to remember that and be like, oh, you know, pie film is, it's just like jam.
So you put a little peanut with your jam.
Can we pause the movie for a second to let you know they don't even support their own.
Okay, look at this.
I can't believe this.
Anyway, back to the film.
It feels like that's what it's doing.
It's that, but it's also the setup of a Todd Salon's film.
You know what I mean?
Like, this is the beginning of it.
It's like this sad guy and he's living there and he's jerking off upstairs to pictures of his dead wife.
Absolutely.
Or whatever is happening.
Totally.
If she was dead.
It would be.
something if she was dead my god well but like there's no way happy madison's going for that but
what steve is putting together there is actually sounding like a pretty interesting film that like
iFC would put out yes exactly no no it just this has to be the most pathetic man
ever produced i don't i would keep the kid out of it because actually and we'll get to it
i don't know how she winds up being a hostage at the end of the movie i don't know either there
just kind of teleports in to the situation she winds up being a hostage of the movie because
you didn't you didn't remember it but
she's bringing him food at work.
He works in a ball and you've got to bring him food.
Extra.
You know why?
Because he's a big fella.
This movie does not miss a second to remind you that he's a big guy.
But that's the thing is like, I mean like, just cut her out of it.
You cut that story out.
Then he's just sort of like, it's a little more relaxed where it's just like he's living
and home with his mom.
He's a mall security guard.
He always wanted to be a cop.
It's just, it's, it's clean.
you know what I mean?
And he has a crush on the other girl
and he wants to make a big splash
and it is Angus.
But I guess Angus didn't have a child
in that movie.
He had a friend that was kind of his child.
Got it.
Yeah, the Shermanator was his little friend.
Oh, I forgot the Sherman.
Also, Angus just had like just
so much more confidence than this man has.
Well, that's the thing is they cared more about that character
turned like Angus actually cared about those character beats.
And when you're in Paul Blart,
it's just the fat show until the end.
I think, like, I honestly think he should just be a loner,
have him be alone on his own, at least give him that,
that he can handle himself, that he can fucking pay the rent.
Like that.
No, no, no, no, no, because mommy has to make his dating profile for him.
That's what drives me crazy because it's essentially like being like,
you know fucking Will Ferrell's character and wedding crash shift?
What if he was the most, like, oh, he's so sweet.
Like, if how about he's just treated like that?
perfect because it's like that's what they
kind of wanted I think. Yes.
Like, you know, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore,
there's some like weird,
fucked up shit in it, but they play it with this
like kind of, they're not
going for true
like pathos, really.
And when they do, Sandler can pull it off.
Farley can pull it off.
Kevin James. This was also
the air. He's a big fella. The Ox
was the era of like the docile
in cell, right? They're not
really killing everyone yet.
No, they are the best people on earth.
They're the best people on the earth.
They just need someone to give them a chance and immediately start dating them for asking,
oh, can I get a hair extension?
But this is the saddest part.
I mean, like, again, like, it's just him.
And they light these seeds like fucking gummo, don't they?
Like, there's just like one bare naked light bulb above there.
You can smell the bathtub.
If he's in the bathtub and there's eating disgusting spaghettis and stuff, I'd be like, that makes sense.
Maybe it's a realistic picture.
Mom, I'm going to need you to bring the spaghetti into the bathtub.
Yeah, bring the peanut butter too.
Spaghetti pie.
Spaghetti pie.
It's a Thanksgiving tradition.
Put some of it in the tub with me and then give me a bowl separate for that as well.
Oh, he drinks his own waste water.
That'll be awesome.
It's just say wastewater.
It's his mother and his daughter.
You know, and they're looking at him like, well, dad, you promised it's Thanksgiving.
And he's like, what did I promise?
I'm such a loser.
It's like, well, if you don't have, if you said, if you didn't have it, if you
didn't have any dates by Thanksgiving, you'd let us make you a dating profile.
You said that last year.
Dude, yeah, it's like, you're a year overdue on this, like, you can make a profile
for me, things.
They make this profile.
And the mother is just like, oh, I'm going to put that cute video that you made last
year.
It's just him fucking mugging for the camera on this goddamn, what are they?
Segway.
Segway, I almost a cover round, but yeah, Segway, 2009.
Yeah, absolutely.
are acting kids at home. I know you're too young to understand. Just listen up.
People were acting like Segways, we're going to change our lives. People were acting
like everyone's going to be riding them. Don't you hate walking? Hey, don't you hate walking?
No. But are those the things, are the, isn't this the grandfather of the things that's littering the streets right now in all major cities?
Well, scooters were invented before Segways and now we're back to scooters. I think because the Segways fail.
Yeah. Because they look so dumb. If you want Segway.
comedy, Goddammit. You don't watch
Arrested fucking development
and you watch Gobbluth.
I guarantee
that was on their mind, Ben.
I guarantee you.
That show started six
years before this movie
came out. Like, and honestly
already super dated. Aside from
it being cripplingly sad
or us laughing at someone
who is fat, not necessarily like Kevin
James, but someone who is fat. Don't forget
his whole family. And, and, well,
to get to the lady in the
Victoria's here, which
it's a bar scene.
But the segue is the other joke.
That's the only other joke.
Yes.
Segway.
They are expecting you admit it fucking
68 of this movie to be like,
hey, segue.
It's like, dude, that has passed.
He's pretty good on that.
He's pretty good on that segue.
Hey.
Are we still laughing at Segway?
You know, all right.
You know what's going to make us
$180 million at the box office?
You know, Kevin James
on his Segway.
Woo, my side to split it.
But shit, it was like the poster he's on the Segway.
At least one of the posters.
I mean, they let you know that the Segway was in this movie.
He's literally, literally in like 75% of the movie.
Yeah.
I think he's on the Segway.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not like, yeah, no, it's a safe number.
It's how they promoted the movie was like justice on wheels and shit like that.
Like, I remember the trailers being like some weird.
and stupid shit, but you have to imagine
because what else, because I don't
think if you asked the writer, it's like
what is the joke with this segue? I don't
think they would give you a straight answer. There's just
no, nothing there. He's, he's
big and fat and he's just like moving around
on it. It's a comical vehicle
that people normally don't see it, understand.
Watch him go out of frame
and then back in the
frame. Look how funny that is.
Let me tell you a little something about physical
comedy here. When he
pushes forward on the segue,
a laugh, a laugh, if he backs up,
they should at least put in the sound of a big bus
coming back.
That would have been somebody.
But this is the thing, too,
is like, you almost want to reveal the segue
because, like, you get the mom putting the stupid video
where he's like, and it's like, I don't know,
some silly rock song of him on the segue.
And then we cut literally to him going to work on a segue,
like, that's too much segue already.
And it's been, yeah, but it's, we're in minute seven.
Shouldn't there be a, polishing it?
Like, he's like, shining it up.
Oh, that would be nice.
You got to charge it at that.
thing is that a gas guzzler? It's a
charge thing. But the other thing that's weird
that I just realized was like, we see
him, he has
no fewer than two segways in this
little garage. He's got like the one that he's
taken to work and then there's another one.
And then when he gets to work, there's all
the segways that look like the one that he wrote
in on. And I was like, are you supposed
to be taken these from the mall, dude?
This is not part of the commute.
All right, there you go. Another missed
opportunity. He takes him home. Mod it
up. Let's see one that has like,
weapons on it or shit.
What about a fun troll doll on the top of it?
Whatever. A little bicycle thing?
If you want to go to Peewee Row.
No, he should have a bunch of knives. At the end of this movie, you should have a bunch of
knives on the cover. Have a hockey mask.
Yes. Walk up to this bank. Just walk away.
There needs to be a scene. There needs to be a scene where he overcomes the
Segway. He doesn't need the sex. Leave it behind and
continue the movie. No, no, no. All the way through the
credits are rolling
additional footage
of their wedding
which is at the mall
by the way
and we're dancing
with fucking his
and her segways
I thought that was
bloopers and I turned it
right up
no dude
it's just their wedding
they get married
at the mall
and they it's his
and her segue
and they're dancing
together in the segways
also by the way
a fucking segue
in this movie takes place
in New Jersey
in November
good luck
riding around
with that thing
without a fucking
park
on, dude. Totally. Absolutely.
Yeah. So it is, he's all
getting all nervous because
we're coming up on Black Friday, the busiest
day at the mall. So he's sort of like
preparing for all of that. And we
see him, as
you would with any mall security guard
being disrespected at every turn.
You know what? Made fun of my kids.
As they should be. That's your job.
I'm sorry. That's it.
And like, what I wouldn't
give for us to actually get some
like, have you, did anybody
talk to a person who's been through a
Black Friday sale and see
get some details of what it's
actually like in preparing for
you're saying you should be shooting this crowd
absolutely Eric I absolutely think
guns are the answer on this one I think
actually the world of the mall by the way this is like
the last moment of the mall I think
is like 2009 like this is the latest you could
put this out yeah but I think that like
that's an okay
movie is like Paul Blart Mall
cop and he's actually just a
bumbling mall cop and then maybe like
you know there's a third act thing where something happens
maybe some jokes they should put some jokes
what if it was like a
because it's like the last waning days of the mall
right sure this mall is in danger of becoming a ghost mall
and Paul Blart's got to save the mall that way
not from vague robbers that want credit card
account numbers to a bad action movie for an hour
and you're like well that's not funny at all
die hard in a mall with you a bad action movie that apparently
they took some action out of for being too scared
That's what you want to do.
You want to remove anything that would be remotely interesting to audiences.
It's too scary, Ben.
I mean, this mall is like a couple of weeks from being the setting of Tim and Eric's million-dollar movies.
Just a little, not too far off.
Is that why you guys had me on this show because of my mall pedigree?
Are you right?
I remember you mentioned this before that you grew up on the plains of the Mall of America.
Well, I hail from the land of 10,000 malls, Minnesota.
Stay in Minnesota, which does have the Mall of America.
Right.
Minnesota.
And my hometown.
It's like one of those small Coke cans, right?
Uh-huh.
You used to live on them?
Now, now, hold on a second.
Let's not get into that.
A little Coke can.
Not like this shit.
I come from Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
Mm-hmm.
Where they had the Eden Prairie Mall,
which was the mall that they filmed Mallrats at.
Oh, that's why that sounded familiar to me.
I was like, why have I heard of that?
Yeah, yeah.
Do you two mallrats bonus feature?
I have memories of different Kevin running around the mall filming everything.
That's kind of cool, though.
It was fun.
That's a good movie.
Did you watch them film that movie?
Yeah, yeah.
That's pretty.
Wow.
Did you get to meet LaForre's?
Sven Old Thurston.
Absolutely.
But again, that's a movie where comedy is happening at the mall.
I will say, related to a mall.
I still like mall rats to this day.
It's a good movie.
It's got a lot of jokes in it.
It's a, you know, Clerks is obviously the one that,
actually has, like, real heart and, like, kind of cultural significance.
But Mallrats is fun.
Morris is fun as fun.
There's characters.
There's characters there.
I mean, Ethan Suppley, I want to, like, give him my corax seeds and see if he gets me something back.
So, Ben, did you get your fortune told?
Did you get your fortune told by a three-nippled lady?
X-3's company star?
Yes.
No.
Actually, that was the dirt mall.
Were there dirt malls?
Dirt malls.
Dirt malls?
Minnesota's got every kind of mall.
Oh, dirt mall.
Mall is run all you want. Chris and I grew up
working out at the multiplex. That was a fucking
dirt mall. By the time we got, it was like
it had its fall from Grace.
Like it was big in like the late 80s.
And then lunch breaks are sitting on a bushel
of hay. What? No,
you just sort of like a Taco Bell
in the little, you know,
arcade area there. Get yourself
an orange Julius outside the
Piccadilly circus. It's kind of
funny, Steve, you just bring up the idea of like
this was right as malls were ending
because a little funny bit about
this. When he starts doing
his whole like John McLean shit
at the end of this movie and he's like
he's got to go get gadgets and whatnot.
He goes into a sharper image
multiple times.
By the time this movie was released in
theaters in 2009, Sharper Image didn't have
stores anymore.
It makes total sense. Catalog
only. So he's riding through
he sees this babu, babe
played by I forget her name
is. Who is this?
The character's name is Amy and she's
running the...
Jamie Mays, it's her name.
She's the updated casting
of one of the babes
in the third Bill and Ted movie.
Oh, okay.
Interesting. Okay.
Yeah, she's running unbelievable.
Bargand bin and a Ferris.
Yes.
Big time.
Speaking of observing report.
Yeah.
There you go.
Better movie.
Yeah, she works in a wig stand.
Yeah, right.
Is, you know, motor scooting by there
and gets all horny.
And isn't this?
funny he's so stupid
and he's so horny
he drives his segue into the back of a
minivan of course and dents it
because he's obese
like if this was observant report it would be
him bothering like a 17
year old girl that works at Arapa style
you know what I mean like oh man
you get your work hours in that's pretty cool
when you graduate what's the problem going to be like
so like is it cool if I
test some more of the clone you're selling
he would be trying to give a ticket to the
guy he had the minivan
it's okay if I sit outside your house for the you know all night long like I did yesterday
I remember when me and my friends after after the mall you know I was working here then I was
working over at a store doesn't exist anymore you see and we would go and we'd look for an
older fellow to buy beer and I could I could help that I could just say if you uh you wanted
I just I've been on the other side you know I've been where you are and you know so if you
wanted I'd be totally down to hang out with you if it wasn't a sting operation because that's
happened to be a couple times I just didn't
I just, I'm so sick of it.
It's just crazy.
Like, I'm saying, like, I just want you to spray me with cologne.
And the next thing I know is, hello there.
Chris Hansen.
Mall cop.
That was a mall cop.
He's talking to some fucking mall crimes.
That's actually true.
So he's so horny and embarrassed now.
Yes.
That he fell into the car.
He's got to run to the security office and start spying on her on the security need.
All of a sudden, this became sliver.
He's, like, studying footage.
a way a way less erotic
and Alan Covert
who actually I mean like this movie needs a little more
Alan Covert I think he's a funny fucking guy man
he never ceases to make me laugh
but there's a point in this movie where he literally
just runs away from the movie
good for him but you know what
I think he had the right idea because he's a good foil right
he's like oh you take this too seriously
correct a job for a deadbeat like me
LOL like that's
comedy right he gets set up with the guy who ends up being the villain who's got zero presence i don't know what this guy cure o'donnell was in if you can't get jamie bell cut the price in half you get this guy
i'll tell you what cure o'Donnell he's an australian actor i kind of think he's one of the best parts of this movie really he gets that's crazy i think anyway he gets the goofy villain thing really i do i you know i liked the pen sales movie oh well get to him we're going to nail him to
across.
Don't worry about it.
I like the minivan.
Big fan of that as well.
Yeah, I mean,
I guess I like Ciro Donald
and fine.
He was just an ambulance,
which he was funny.
Oh, yeah.
He was coming off,
this is he's coming off
wedding crashers.
He was like the creepy
gay brother.
I had a lot of fun with that.
Wedding Crashers,
2005.
Exactly.
So he played that to much effect
so they want to put him in here.
I just kind of wish he had a thing.
You know what I mean?
Like,
what is the motivation?
at all. Nothing. Nothing.
Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Because it's like we're robbing
a mall and like you have
your little like X games
buddies that are helping out of your
What is the plot? What is the plot?
What are in 2009?
Parkour thieves.
But what are they after? Credit card codes.
Codes. So they're going to siphon off
every purchase that every store
is made. No, I think
it's like stealing the credit card numbers.
Of people?
Times X will get you.
which they say is $30 million out of nowhere.
There's a couple things that are out of nowhere in this movie.
$30 million is out of nowhere.
A fucking private jet that these jersey scumbags have procured.
Waiting for them on the tarmac.
With no like flight team in sight, by the way.
I'll tell you why he has to be that because he is the one guy who is nice to
Paul, like genuinely is like being like stop.
Like don't be a shit to this.
He's fine.
like yeah he's a little annoying
but like stop he's fine
so that guy of course has to be the villain
like the one guy who's nice
to him has to be the worst person
got you I pretended to have respect for you
yeah so this he's set up
as a co-worker there
as a security guard
it's interesting
Peter Peter Garrity
from the wire is their chief
I really was sad there for a minute
when I saw him there
is so great on the wire he's like the judge
you know and here I'm
like, what are you doing in this movie, man?
He's also in an amazing law and order episode
where he is a scumbag lawyer
who gets like, who's, who like lies on the stand
does all this crazy shit so he can bang
this like 19 year old, uh, that he's defending.
So it's just you, it's just a lawyer then.
Yeah, it's just a normal old lawyer.
The beginning, so like, he's like, all right, let's let's go on the job.
They're both in their fun segues. L.O.L.
L.O.L. Indeed.
it's so funny. Now there's two segways.
And oh my God.
Look at how much better Paul Blard
is than this other guy on his segway.
It's totally right, Ben.
Two times the laughs.
But they start.
He's blarting lutes around this guy.
He pulls over.
And I mean like, because it's a pullover joke.
I got an old, an old man in a cart for quote unquote reckless driving.
And I'm like, what is this scene?
He's like, I'm going to have to give you a citation.
I'm like, of what?
You're a mall.
Like, yeah, where is you could do is ask?
is ask me to leave the mall. That is your entire power. Which would be fine if that was the
scene. Just ask this guy to get the fuck. Like do some. Why are any of these people on staff?
They don't. They don't. And the whole joke is he's ignoring him. Yes. Like that's the big
ha ha. And then when they get to the actual interaction is just like like, it's over. Like, oh, I need to
be called back to the office. I did find it funny. If only because again, it's just a mall security
officer being humiliated, which is great.
And this old man has the right
idea. Fuck you.
Vroom, room. You have no authority because
you are, once again, a mall security
guard. But he's trying to give him a ticket, which can't
exist. No. Is the problem.
What do you think that
ticket says? Please stop.
It's like $300? $300.
$300 ticket for, right? Your hover around
too fast in the mall? It's got to be like $5
or a voucher. You get a
voucher taken away from your coupon
book. How much is an hour's
parking here. It's about
all right. Your parking is invalidated.
That's what it is. Yeah, there you go. Perfect.
I just, he's got this big
fucking citation book.
It doesn't make any sense.
You can't get a citation at them all. All they
could do is ask you to leave. And they
never like set up like, why isn't
Peter Garrity a person who does believe
in all this shit is impressing upon him? Like,
oh yeah, this is you have to, you have to
lay down the law. You have to be all. No,
everybody thinks he's fucking weird for
acting like this. Yes. Including his
boss. Because the rest of the people
covert, the judge
from the wire, the dude who's
just sleeping, and that's the joke
as he's asleep in the chair the whole time you never even see
who he is. They understand their
station in this world, which is
just a reminder, a fucking
mall security guard, okay?
He's the only one that has these
aspirations for being a cop and it's
like, you got to let that go, dude.
You fucking fell asleep on the training
course. Like, it's not going to happen. I'm sorry.
There's a mention that he flunked out eight times.
doing that training course.
That's a thing, dude.
They will let these people take that
fucking test until they pass it.
He just can't get that granola intake, right?
That's like that's the problem.
No, granola, it's fucking pixie sticks.
Oh my God.
And he's hitting this thing, like it's an epipen.
I hate that.
I mean, you know, maybe people do do that for like,
a quick thing or whatever.
But like, just the thing that, like,
it's part of the character that it's like,
oh, he's in his pocket.
and you can proudly see this pixie
sending the wrong message. It's okay to be a ball
security guard. Want to throw that out there? Any of them
listening? Thank you for your service.
I mean, you're not Bob Lard.
That's the exact problem. That's the exact
problem. Fucking for service.
You're a security guard.
There's no service.
Yeah, I wasn't serious. Did you see the badge?
Did you see the badge floating
in the beginning of the movie? It fell out of the
fucking bubble gum dispensers.
What I'm saying is tip him 20%
wherever you go.
What in the fuck are you talking about?
No one knows what malls are anymore anyway.
That's true.
This is a dying thing.
I'm just saying it's okay to be destitute, you know,
not destitute, almost destitute.
And working a shitty job.
We've all been there.
And Andrew, I mean, like, you have never worked at a Mr.
seven of mall and worried every day,
what if all my cold cuts are stolen overnight?
That is real, real panic.
And that could happen to anybody who owns this stuff.
I worked in a multiplex for six years where I saw the same fucking
disgusting father-son duo
Mall security guard assholes
literally sleeping at the desk.
Father and son?
It was father and son, dude.
A father and son.
I want to see that a better movie.
First of all, better movie.
You just wrote a better movie.
Yeah.
The first 15 minutes of Monsters Ball
but for a mall security guard.
Or if Peter Garrity was his father
and that's just a thing.
Yeah, yeah.
We get no read on his old man in this movie.
No, no.
Because he can.
He probably died.
Too much pot.
too much pie now pie now
Mama Blart is like sitting under a fucking buzzing out
light bulb looking at a greasy picture of this old fuck
and she's about to eat mayonnaise and go to sleep
Steve come on she's gonna be on television
that's true she certainly wants to know if this bus
is going to Madison Avenue I mean
Gummo and Blart sound like I mean that's in the same
Gummo Blart right the worst marks brother
I feel like
Oh man
So speaking of fat
Well that's
We use this interaction
Of Victoria's secrets
Because
It's taking it away
We learn what we're
This movie is trying to tell you
Is it totally okay to be a fat
Which is a fine message
Is it telling us that?
I say that as a fat man myself
Of course he nails a 10 at the end
Of this movie
Dude
You know that's cartoon delusions
The guy
I like
Anvil hit him on the head
and we didn't see it. But like, no, but he takes
down all the bad guys. You know what I mean?
All of his, everyone who calls
him fat and a loser, they
turn out to be a loser themselves.
However, if you are a fat woman,
you're disgusting. That's what we
learned in this scene. Dude, this is weird.
So yeah, it's like, here's our first call.
Vec is the new guy's name, which is
quite terrible.
Okay. Say Vec. A little
problematic.
Some of the pronunciations
in there. I thought
they were saying Beck for a while.
It's not good. Like, here we go.
Let's roll. We got a call.
And it's a Victoria's Secret.
The attendant at the
store is Jackie Sandler.
Of course. Got a loan to that money, dude.
Absolutely. It's like,
why did this glorified
extra make $6 million
dollars for this roll? Oh, babe, you want
being sag? Yeah, I could get you into
SAG, no problem.
Jackie pops up in a lot of his
Oh, yeah.
Oh, heidi-deebidi, we hide the money this way.
Howbidi-dubidi, caymini-dubiddy.
Exactly.
Came in a doobitie.
Yes.
So, yeah, it's this, these two ladies are fighting over, and I find this hard to believe,
the last push-up bra in this store.
And, of course, we've, we've babe versus what the movie's telling us is,
is Godzilla.
Yeah.
An overweight woman,
which is like the worst thing
a person could be.
And she has a date tonight
and the quote unquote
attractive woman is like,
is he blind?
And she throws her soda at her.
And like,
then Paul Blart like pulls her aside.
He's like,
listen,
I know what it's like to be overweight.
You know,
we just eat our feelings
and all this stuff.
And you're disgusting.
And you know,
I started to eat a little healthier,
which question marks.
I want to see that.
Guess what?
I saw you put fucking peanut butter on a slice of pie
not more than 10 minutes ago.
Your skin's going to clear up.
You're going to be slightly less disgusting
if you follow my methods of life.
And then she turns into King Kong Bundy.
She starts fucking clothesline.
You know the last time this happened,
the fucking shoe store,
and married with children speaking of balls.
This is a straight up married with children joke right here.
They're fighting and a feudant and whatnot.
Kevin James does have kind of a funny thing
that I think might be an ad lib where,
she's kind of got him in some sort of
grip and he goes she's biting my neck
she's biting my neck
and then she clotheslines him
which is pretty great
didn't this happen at the beginning of Delta
Farse with Larry the cable guy
like he runs afoul of an overweight woman
and they wrestlers like that's the buffet
yes because we have the buffet
oldest fucking middle
America joke you can make
and he's like your intrepid
slob
you know is saying all the things you wish
you can say we're just calling women
fat and then the women get upset
about. And then I mean
in a stunning turn of events
after this fight
in the victorious secret turns out
he's still got a job which
made me think maybe these
mall security guards are closer
to cops than I realized
because how on earth
are you still employed after you fucking punched
a woman at the stomach? The thin white line man
it's just how that works. Well I mean to be fair
he was the one that got his
well he got the clothes line. Yeah yeah
Oh, so, Ben, you're saying if he won the fight,
then maybe he'd be fired.
Did you finish the fight?
No.
Well, then she won it.
The guy's a shame sponge, you know, so.
But how does this even...
What's the conclusion?
Who gets the bra?
You know, I want to know.
I kind of want to know.
Well, there's a lot of things that are just left dangling in this movie.
The editing is very strange.
We're not strange, just like bad, like flat out bad.
Like, seeds just sort of end without whatever.
Seeds just start without perfect.
Characters disappear.
Yes, it's terrible.
This might be one of the worst we've ever done.
There you go again with that.
I think it's true.
It's up there for me too.
It's pretty bad.
I injured my eye watching this movie.
That's right.
Let me ask you guys this really quickly,
because this is where it came up.
Did anybody watch this on Pluto or a, uh, Tooby?
I did, yes.
No, you know why?
Because I wanted to be over as soon as possible.
I just, you rented it.
I paid the money.
I'll tell you what, dude.
It was kind of like you're jogging.
And then, like, when the commercial comes on, it's like when you stopped for air.
Yeah, that's kind of nice.
But, all right.
I love it.
I love the commercials.
You guys that watch it on Tube.
Did either of you have this terrifying downy commercial with the Backstreet Boys?
Oh, I've seen this commercial.
Yes.
No, I did not.
Oh, my God.
This commercial where it's like, it's a girl and she's got a like an old Backstreet Boys t-shirt and it's a kind of smelly or whatever.
Is Jerry Fat one there?
No, that's in sync.
And you stupid.
All right.
Fucking idiot.
Justin Timberlake.
No, again, that people, that are in the group.
That's still in sync.
Wow, look who knows all the members of Insync.
And I can't name you a single backstreet boy.
AJ?
AJ, that's a backstreet boy.
Okay.
But so she also has a Backstreet Boys poster.
Yes.
And all the Backstreet Boys come to life on the poster and are like, better use Downey to wash our t-shirt.
And it's fucking horrifying.
Yeah, it's like the thing that way or something like that or something.
I gleaned that as much as I could.
Because I'll tell you another thing about watching stuff on to be, dude.
When those fucking commercials come on, you best believe I'm hitting the mute button.
Sure.
It's gross.
But so then he goes up to Amy and he starts flirting with her and she's, of course, charmed by him.
But uh-oh, here comes his rival who also disappears from the movie.
Hang on a second.
We're going to get to that, dude.
But this whole thing, we got to break it down really quickly.
Okay.
She works at a wig store.
She works at a wigs store.
Or an extension.
story. It's the first of three
times we hear survivors, I can't
hold back. I can't remember
the last time I heard that fucking song.
It's the Happy Madison 80s horse shit.
But they couldn't hold back. Which I do,
listen, that's another thing I kind of like about the Happy
Madison movies is all the like pseudo-forgotten
70s. Yeah, whatever.
But
he's like, oh, Amy, can I
give you a ride to your
car now that you've closed
up your little wig shop? This
needs bringing down. So she gets on
this fucking segue. He gets
on behind her and they're having
this fucking Titanic-esque
magical trip
through the wall. It's a hump fest.
If he gets a boner, this guy
is fucking finished. She's probably like
man, the fucking sooner I can get off
this goddamn segue, but I'm locked into it
because this fucking huge dude is hugging me
against it. This guy goes from not
even having a dating profile
to mustering up the
stones to be like, come on, hop on
this segue and let me bear.
hug you.
Yeah. And hump
that ass. Oh my goodness.
So we did kind of already
need him, but this is where he really gets to
shine because all the mall
worker buddies go hang out
at American Joe's
after work. And again, like this is a
movie, this is actually what it's still a
movie because it's like here
like he's hitting on her. He's like
flirting like, oh, you know, I could give you a call
some time. And then like Steve
Ranacisi shows up and he's like, we'll go to
American Joe's later. You're not coming. Are you
blart?
you're so fucking fat and like pretty much and he says he literally says what are you laughing at
I just called you fat but that that's a rivalry right like that's sort of a thing and then he shows
him up at the third act yep no no no I mean I guess because he's a coward but sure but like it's
we see his cowardice later in the movie but it's nothing that like Paul Bart brings out like he
can't take ownership that's true pulling the mask off he also saw his cowardice on 9-11 when he
Uncurrageously wasn't in those buildings
And then also uncourageously didn't attend Sunni purchase
When she claimed the guy's a pathological liar
Steve Rennessisi, the league's Steve Rennessisi
He should run for office
Yeah, should be lying about, you know
Where he was on 9-11, lying about where he went to school
He's like fucking George Santo
Yeah, let's go here, Steve
The lying about 9-11, I understand
Like that's you can turn into a hero story
You can get some sympathy out of it, etc, etc.
lying about going to a state art school, Ben, wherever you went, you could have went to Sunni
Purchase. If you just, if you wanted to, if you thought about it, you could, hey, if you're
listening right now, you can go to Sydney Purchase right now. You don't have to lie about anything.
Where else do you get to say, it's almost as good as Julia are?
Oh, come on. Well, we all had fun. We did. We met there. Ben, I met in college at a late night with Conan O'Brien, but I was
at SUNY Purchase.
I was not in college.
Oh, yeah, because you were an oldman.
No, I'm an oldman.
I forgot about that about you.
Conning my way into that position.
Right, you went to, uh, what is it, B.O?
No, no, close.
You smelled too much?
Try another vowel there.
Vue.
Chuckles.
So we're at this like fake TGI Fridays kind of place.
And here's the thing, man.
If you go to, you're going to Kevin, you're going to Kevin James movie, Ben.
You think you're having a good time.
You're like, all right.
Yeah.
You really got to watch yourself because,
Anywhere you look, there's his brother.
Oh, there's his brother. Oh, shit. There's his brother.
Oh, shit. There's his brother. I did not spot this.
Does his brother look like him or what's the guy singing?
He's in costume in this film.
Gary Valentine.
She's in a runaway.
Is that his real name?
I think it's a Martin Sheen, a Charlie Sheen scenario where like the brother has the right name.
And like Estabazz scenario.
You mentioned it still feels like a movie during this scene.
I think a reason for that is they work.
completely ripping off cable guy
in this scene. Oh yes. The shots are very
similar. Exactly. That's true. The singing, him
freaking out once he's drunk. Well, all
of that. I do that. This was all very troubling
watching all that. What really just sent me into the next
dimension was, and this is
the only way I could describe this in my notes, is that we're having
an old-fashioned fad off. Yeah.
That's true. We're here. We're having a
having a fat off.
They're having a big old fat off.
That came out of nowhere.
It comes out of nowhere.
You're hitting on someone.
It doesn't make any sense.
Because he shows up.
She's like, oh, hey, it's that the guy that poked me with his bone early.
Hi.
He just humped her for like 10 minutes straight.
And like Rana Sisi comes back.
Oh, shut up.
I just want to hang out with Paul for a minute.
He's like, okay, awkward cut, nacho content.
You do not want to enter an impromptu food eating contest.
When you're hitting on someone.
It almost feels like reshoots.
He needed more fat jokes.
Yeah.
There's a, guess what?
Now there's another fat guy at the mall
and we're going to fat it up.
Not just any fat guy.
This is a little
Hercules.
Hercules.
It is indeed.
It is him.
It was the man himself.
They had all mixed in as Leon in this film.
We had to.
The hot sauce kios.
Oh, absolutely.
I mean, we got so many
Chiosk people here. Also attending
this weird after party thing
is Eric Weezun the Juice guy
Avari. Yes.
As the dude who works at like the cell phone
kios. But he is moderating
this nacho eating. I mean, and again,
like it's just hey, blah, blah, blah.
We're having a good time. What do you think you're going to do for
Thanksgiving? Awkward cut.
Now it's like, not sure, you got five
six to eat all those nachos.
And I'm like, wait, what?
Because the whole thing, all right, so the whole thing
The whole, like, crux of this scene is he accidentally consumes alcohol and he gets fucking wasted and makes a fool of himself in front of Amy.
That's fine. Their delivery system for this was, like Chris said, a good old fashioned fat off.
We're having this fucking nacho contest.
Yes, sir.
Or I guess the idea is like whoever finishes the whole plate of these like ultimate nachos first wins nothing.
Not even free nacho.
They won't, they're not going to win a date with Amy.
That's for sure.
Yeah, you win a fucking echo cardiogram.
That's what you win.
But so he eats like jalapinos that are on the nachos and it's too hot and he needs something to drink.
And he starts chugging what he thinks is lemonade.
And I'm like, this is why it's a high school movie.
Yes, you're right.
He's a child.
This is a Mcloven movie.
He doesn't know what alcohol is.
He's a 13 year old daughter.
What are you talking about?
And then he starts tripping like he's on every drug in the world.
It's Jim from America.
Eric and pie.
Like he's just accidentally
boffoonering.
Now that's what should happen is he should
go home and fuck that pie.
You know, put a little peanut butter on that.
He's done it at least once, Eric.
You know he's done it once.
So the pie licks it back.
He puts the peanut butter.
Yeah, he's like, he's like, all right, pie.
Now I'm putting the peanut butter on me.
Yeah.
By the way, Kevin George Knipfing,
K-N-I-P-F-N-G.
Whoa.
So what does the deal with this Gary Valentine's guy?
He was all, he was Gary Knipfing.
And they were just,
like, I'll be Valentine, you be James.
That is something.
Valentine's worse.
That's just such a showboat piece of shit.
I'd also really attractive.
It never worse.
Just use your real name.
Yeah.
Well, you're not putting, what is it,
connipion?
What's his name?
Clifing.
I put my fucking garbage on this show.
Well, you should have been fucking Eric Johnson,
dude.
If I was Eric Johnson, I wouldn't be here.
I'd be fucking starting in fat movies.
Shallow Hal 4.
Oh, God. Stay tuned for that fucking fat phobia movie.
But yeah, he's, now he's like drunk, like full on drunk.
And this is like, you're getting kicked out.
I'm sorry.
He's fucking climbing on tables and falling all over strangers.
Oh, well, yeah, absolutely that stuff is definitely getting you kicked out.
But this, the fat off, I do think it seems like a weekly thing.
I got to be honest, it seems like it's scheduled.
I think American Joe is funding.
But at the same time, he says he wasn't going to go to American Joe.
Joe's, because why would he
go to this social obligation?
Here's the thing. Here's a thing. Here's a thing.
You're both right, because this is an incompetently made movie.
They do act like it is totally not the first time they've had a nacho off,
but Eric, they also say he, why would I go there?
Everybody hates me.
Well, this. Great question.
But I think that like he's afraid when Amy invites him over there, he knows like,
shit, if I go there, I'm going to have to have a nach off.
Oh, shit's going to get real. Excuse me, Stephen.
A what off?
It's a fat off. And then he starts feeling up wheeze in the juice guy's face. And he's just standing there like, that's fine.
Yeah, just taking it. Which, man, you know what? You need at least 20 to 30 percent more wheeze and the juice guy. Of course.
Eric Gavari is fucking great. Steve said it on the group chat the other night. Eric Gavari should be in something that gets him nominated for an Academy Award. I agree. It's fucking great. Not enough in this movie. Yeah, he's just getting molested by Kevin James. Instead, he's going to get Farina.
Yeah, he always never going to get ferrena.
No doubt about it.
Well, yeah, because, yeah, I would like to see more wheeze in the juice
unless whee's in the face.
This is, I'd like, it's just, it's supposed to be funny
because he doesn't know how to act when he's drunk.
He's 47 years old.
It's just, oh, God.
I think it's very important just because what Eric said,
it might have sent shock waves throughout the community.
Oh, he will be farinaed whenever it is that happens.
Yes. God bless.
Eric Gavari is still very much alive and well.
As of this recording on May 31st,
2023. If it's after that, he's dead.
7.22 p.m.
Whenever Eric Havari dies, it'll be
exactly his death in Daredevil, where Daredevil's
Billy Club goes through his heart for no reason.
And Bullseye goes,
Bullseye. I forgot that. Wow.
Did we do that as an episode? We did.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Hey, sure. Speaking of Bullseye, stay tuned
for the, the climax of this movie.
Oh, yes.
The one time, I think
I genuinely laughed.
I can't wait to hear about
I had a legit laugh in this one
I'm gonna be honest
I had a couple I'll see if I can point around
what it happens
so speaking to that bad editing
that we keep talking about
like this whole thing happens
the scene ends with him going
I believe in magic I think the line is
and he falls out the window
yeah and so that actually
him falling through the window
was indeed a legitimate laugh
on my part but so he falls out this window
and it cuts to
the single saddest Thanksgiving
oh my god
holy shit I mean there's probably
like a movie out there where someone has
Thanksgiving in prison and it's much more fun. It's sadder than
American movie when we're watching Uncle Bill. Oh, there you know. Oh, that
toenail is going to cut me right in half, man.
Today's episode is sponsored by me
undies. You've been listening to this show for
years and you know a lot about me because of that. You know, I'm short. I like
comic books. I have cats. One of which of whom
has asthma, which is really expensive and annoying. But there's things you would
never know about me. Such as a fact, I'm a camping enthusiast. My wife and I go camping at least
once a year and we would do so more if we could. We all have interesting parts of ourselves that
not everyone gets to see, kind of like what you keep in your underwear drawer. Meandis is a
celebration of what makes you who you are underneath it all. They know comfort better than anyone
from undies and socks to bold apparel like onesies and dog hoodies. You know, I got my package
from meandies the other week and holy crap are these comfortable. They are now the top-slotted
underwear in my underwear drawer.
I got a box of mixed boxer briefs
and really cool colors and I've never seen
these colors in other brands, I swear.
And yeah, I know now you're thinking
about me in my underwear and I'm terribly
sorry about that. But it's true.
These are the most stylish and comfortable underwear
I've ever owned. You want to join

Oh my God.
It's so fucking miserable.
It's like, it's the mother and him and the daughter, and he's in the middle of the table.
Also, it's literally like the day after.
Yes, it's a full day.
This is obviously a Wednesday before Thanksgiving drunk off thing.
But he's, and this is my problem with this because I thought, oh, okay, it must be days later because he's not viciously hungover.
And they don't even make an effort to broadcast that he should be hung over.
He's going around the whole time being like, I don't drink out and drink.
This would be a massive hangover.
for this dude. And he's just, you know
it's Thanksgiving because there's a turkey until, but again,
it's like just mid sentence and it's just like
so you don't think she likes you anymore.
Honey's like, yeah, I don't think she does. I'm like, what the
fuck happened? But can I see another room
of this house that isn't the fucking
eating kitchen? No.
Well, because there's no exit.
Bombard needs to eat. Right. It's fat off
and this is a fat in. You eat, you
get fat inside. Thanksgiving
would be nice if there was like extended family.
Maybe there's a silly uncle at the table.
You don't know? No. No. No.
A few characters?
Sure.
I'm surprised.
The blarts are small and few
winnowed down.
You know, there was a time when our
proud tribe came over on the Mayflower,
but now us Blart's few and far between.
Well, yeah, Uncle Jack, we used to come,
but when our beautiful Paul
started yelling,
Pye now to him,
he said he would never see him again.
I couldn't believe this move, though.
This is why for a second I thought
it can't be Thanksgiving because he just gets up
and he goes, all right, well, I'm turning
in. And I was like, excuse me,
you're eating a Thanksgiving meal.
You're not going to, like, help clean up.
It's fucking Thanksgiving. You know that
kitchen's destroyed.
You spend time with your goddamn daughter.
Listen, he works at the mall
making all the money that
somehow finances this diet.
I mean,
this whole family.
This house.
Is she on dissim-
Like, what is the situation?
The mom is definitely retired.
She's probably got a boatload of money
from some real job that she had
Social Security and the father exploded
from eating too much or something
and then that somehow parlayed
to some insurance I guess and he's
like so sad and he goes up
to his room and we're fucking looking
at his computer while Barry
Manilow's weekends in New England
plays sure I guess the fine
Thanksgiving song. He's got no
he cries in this scene
he cries over the receipt. It's a
receipt that she wrote Amy on like
exclamation you. And like, held onto this wig receipt, by the way.
Kevin James, like, I can't tell. Because you can cry and it can be funny. Sure.
You know, but like you can also like Farley. Like he has scenes of genuine pathos.
You're like, I feel for this guy. Like Tommy boy. It's full of it. It's full of it.
Are you trying to go for that in this scene? Like what's happening? It's a great question. It's a great question because the cry is ambiguous. It is. It just sort of comes off as.
pathetic. But to your point, like, it's not a funny cry and it's not a sad cry. It's a sort of
a cry. It's just, and it's like that sort of flatness to it, I think, is one of many reasons why
Kevin James. Did you say flatness or fatness? He said flatness. Oh, okay. I mean,
both. You were. Now, we are looking at this room. He belongs in the small screen. He's a
he does, yes. We got a single guy, go nowhere job. Yeah. Lives with his mother. No. No prospect.
Not a lot going on.
You know he's getting up to some stuff on this computer in 2009.
My question is, what do you think the amount of gigs of pornography are stored on that computer?
Because this computer's working overtime.
I'll tell you right now.
It's sweating just as much as he is.
He's cracked all the gals at Aeropostales, MySpace is too.
That's for sure.
Anyone's got him on private.
She's figured it out.
He's saving picks.
When that door shuts, he gets his sliver on.
Oh, my good.
Here comes the boom, baby.
Yeah.
I think he's going to like a best buy and he's buying like one of those like seven terabyte fucking external heartback.
And just pack it full.
Yep.
Just have as much as you want.
Your pick of it.
Solid state.
Have it by year.
Like just pornography by year.
Ah, my pornography throughout the year.
You know what?
I'm going to look at this PDF of a 1972 penthouse.
Why not?
She's just changing up tonight.
This folder is just pictures of burgers.
There's some videos of fried chicken in here.
His daughter does come up to him and she's like, you know,
it's going to get better or something.
And he's like, yeah, does she at least even say that she's going to bring them the food the next day here?
Or there's to assume.
I don't know if it's here, but there is something somewhere where she's like,
I'm going to go give him food.
I don't know if it's just kidnap bait.
That's it.
Oh, yeah, kidnap bait.
Exactly.
How about she has something going on?
maybe she's having trouble at school. There's a parallel that he can maybe actually give fatherly
advice. You know what that isn't? That isn't Paul Blart. That's not him. If it's not about
Blart. If it's not about him, fuck it. Eat the pie and shut up. Also, I'm sorry. I was just going to
say it's super hilarious because he's got a little like lower back tattoo. Yeah. Oh,
she's like, what is that? He's like, it's the lockness monster. I don't drink. He got drunk at
that thing fell out the window
got a full
that tattoo would take more than one appointment
it's a two part joke
you see because the first part it's just the
little like you know
stamp on the lower back lockness monster
at the end of the movie where
he's fallen over again
and the shirt has opened up
then the joke is got this huge back tattoo
which yes no tattoo artist
would do in a single sitting in a night
I'm glad it paid off he's part of the
yakuza
I think what happened.
I think he's hiding a very intense alcoholism.
Because the way he, like, it's almost like he, like goes out of himself and he says,
I don't drink.
Yeah.
Like, it's very like militant.
Is that some blart lore going on there?
Like, are we to believe to be?
Did he would read the novels?
I admit, no.
I have the book by John Updike.
Is that how he sired his daughter with a con artist?
border crosser. He was just drunk all the time. He sucked down some margs in
Tijuana. Makes a lot of sense. Like that makes
more sense than anything else I've been told in this movie. She artificially
inseminated herself with a soda pop straw that he had around.
Jesus. A real McGivor situation. Pick pixie stick.
We've been like pushing Black Friday
in this movie. And when Black Friday comes, it's just another day at the mall.
It is. It doesn't matter. Christmas movie? Or is it
Thanksgiving. It's a Thanksgiving. It's full of like fucking Christmas music.
Well, because that's Black Friday. That's what happens.
You know what you want in January is a movie about Christmas and Thanksgiving.
You know you want June?
They'll take it and they'll like it.
No, but Eric, I think you're totally right because of the proximity man.
We just fucking finished the holidays as they are.
And then it's like, now there's more.
Exactly. It proved me wrong because there must be.
search fetishists for Christmas.
I know that.
That's why this made over
100 million.
That's exactly.
I mean, like the risk paid off.
Like, they were like,
what if we just right over the line?
Like the week after Christmas.
I could not tell you what information is given in the Paul Blart trailer,
but I wouldn't be surprised if there's no mention of Black Friday or Christmas or
anything like that.
But I mean,
it's just a dumb mall cop.
Black Friday is rife for jokes, right?
People getting trampled.
Paul Bar being, hey, put that
action figure down,
that Elmo down, or whatever that joke
is. Right. Not here.
You know how easy it is to have
people throwing TVs around you? Just put it.
It's a box. Yeah, exactly.
They're already stealing from like
cable guys. I steal from the Schwarzenegger
Jingle all the way. Exactly.
Steal from Commando.
Paul Barn has to go to like a fake
Latin American country. Oh, but there's also
a ball seat in Commando. Oh, you
Elevator? Totally right.
Hey. I guess maybe they
kind of do with the jungle stuff later
on, but like they don't even go
all the way with it.
You know, many people have
gone all the way in the rainforest cafe.
Oh, God.
She's getting jacked off next to a plastic
frog, dude.
The sound of that croaking
hits me. Thousands of people
listening who were conceived in a rainforest
rainforest. It's one of the
it's a dark restaurant, the fog machines.
going, who knows what's going on
of those booth corners.
It's a vibe.
Absolutely.
Or possibly to be a scotch
more specific,
a rainbow cafe bathroom.
It's where you might possibly can see.
My father was a waiter
at the rainforest cafe.
My mother was a manager
at the rainforest cafe.
And they got it on
on top of that plastic frog.
But like...
Oh yeah.
They sure did.
So he doesn't have a cell phone.
And like that's kind of
the next movement of the movie.
He's like, I don't have a cell phone.
He goes to Eric Havari
who works at a,
at a appliance store
and it's like $300
it's like yeah dude I don't know man
Not an appliance store man
One of these kiosks because he only associates
With the kiosk folk
Yeah which is weird like none of the
Because like the dude from Nanny professor
Hercules
He works at a hot sauce
Kiosk
He will not befriend people in the stores
Because they are outsiders
They are like you know
They are not like the stores
They don't get that kind of
I love how high end you're going with this.
It's really just they couldn't get permission to film in the stores.
But you do have like real stores that he's going in later.
He goes into a champs.
He goes into the fucking sharper image like the hallmark store.
I will say a sharper image.
That was like going away sale.
Film here.
Please.
I think he might go into a Tvana.
I don't know for sure.
The Eden Prairie Mall.
All the stores were Greek for for that.
They set up fake stores.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I kind of like that better.
One of them was like really cool looking.
I was like, oh, awesome.
This is going to be like around when like the movie the wraps up.
And then of course it goes away.
All right.
That's a question.
What was the like turnover time to like dial everything back?
Like in other words, when the when the shoot wrapped.
Yeah.
Was shit like left there for a while?
Yeah.
That's what I was like casual mail.
Like what was?
Fashionable mail.
Fashionable.
All right.
And I know that so well.
I mean, part of your fashionable mail.
part of the reason that was such a like prime spot is because the place was a dump right like half
the stores were closed to begin with so they're just like we're going to get this for cheap
and we've got plenty of real estate like the money that you buy me toys is another store oh right
that's the one I was like oh really this place is fucking sweet like like you know whatever 10 year old
12 year old ben the fee the fee that universal must have paid the Eden prairie mall was just enough
the demolition
they were like
all right
universal pictures
listen it's going
to cost us
this amount of
money to knock
this place to the
ground give us
that you can
film it here
make the transfer
when dynamite
is selling low
because we're going
to need a lot
of it to lay across
the barrier
but wait a second
is that is Eden
Prairie Mall
is the structure
still around
I can't imagine
it's a mall
still
no they they
they kind of
continued its
slide
post mall rats
and then
someone plunks some change down
and they revamped it up
like around the structure still stays
so it's nice like it's all re
that's fucked up they knocked our mall
down yeah yeah it's just like outside
shops now I've heard it's fucking
ugly it was easy it was a barn
so just shove it over
I mean we're talking Minnesota
man this is the land of 10,000 malls
that's true well you think that if that's the case
you don't get to 10,000 by knocking them down
but you also think it would be expendable
due to the fact you have 10,000
yeah all right
you're coming up trees
I mean
let's be honest
Mall of America is for the tourists
okay
that's like time square
it's not a deep cut
so anyway
Eric Evari gives him
his daughter's cell phone
because he doesn't have enough money
this is fucking stupid
I agree
I totally agree
but it adds so much to the feature
going forward
oh sure
he gives the money
the money for it
is like oh and I'm punishing my
She went over her minutes.
That was something we were very concerned about 2009.
Going over those minutes, dude.
Absolutely.
You're handing your daughter's phone to a stranger.
Exactly.
They are best friends.
He's already molested his face at American Jones.
Anybody else would have killed him for that.
Like, I do get that.
Like, if you do that to not Jamie Bell, he's kicking you right in the nuts.
I mean, this is what the romance should be, right?
Right?
We's in the juice and Kevin James.
Oh, yes.
Why the fuck not?
They seem to hit it off.
They've got a great relationship.
They're both raising teen girls that are, you know, could use some help.
That's Harmony Corrine's.
Exactly.
Oh, it's just called Blart, by the way.
Oh, yeah.
He gets his cell phone and he's still feeling really down.
And his buddy who runs the arcade is like, hey, would you mind closing the arcade?
I got to make a money drop.
And that's what I'm going to do.
And that's going to set up the rest of the movie.
you guys are outside of the rest of the movie. So Kevin James
closes up this arcade, locks
himself inside it to
see, he can't just go
have fun playing guitar hero. First,
you have to have this guy once again
humiliate himself by doing
this like treadmill track and
field game. Treadmill
DeCathola. A treadmill
video game, which I'm shocked he didn't break
jumping up a down on it. I mean, it
wouldn't exist. If it did exist, it
would be the least popular game
in that entire mall. Yeah. I wonder
if it did. I mean, because there was a
like an old N-ES thing. Yes, there was
track and field thing and you had
the ball and you know, the roly ball
control. Like I remember playing that they had it
in like the
activities room of my
Sunday school for some reason. And I
can only imagine because it was like
some fucking dude
stole it off the back of a truck and it
wound up in my definitely mobbed
up church. I'm very much
of the opinion that all exercising
video games should be outlawed. Yeah,
But if you're going to do it, do it at home for crying out loud.
Do not bring it to the mall.
Yeah.
Like I also think like guitar heroes, something you should be playing at home, not in the mall necessarily.
It is a weird thing.
It's rock band, by the way, because he's singing.
Oh, yes, you're totally right.
The microphone component.
I think it's just, it's a commercial for PlayStation.
Yeah.
Those things are real.
There is a very prominent PlayStation 3.
Yes.
Right above the screen.
There you go.
That was a moment in time when, like the rock.
band guitar hero one singular moment and it's been over and no it was a single moment along with
the fucking uh you know uh I can't now I want to call it a treadmill the segways yeah sure all these
phones it's it is such a in amber movie in this way it's never like there's no like new guitar
hero that I was like oh man they made a new guitar hero like for the switch that's amazing no it doesn't
exist they just added the drums like that's not it people don't want to buy hardware yeah
that's a good point it was like it was like rock
like guitar hero than rock band
and then I remember having Beatles
rock band which was pretty fun
and then I never thought about it again
the case for Beatles rock band it was
like it was filled with concrete
it was enormous so what's that
more more drums so you beat more
is that what that's about it would be a thing
oh over to Andrew's house he's going to rearrange his living room
and we're going to play a video game we are moving
furniture to game baby you better believe it
both of those guitar hero and rock band
they were both they were a godsend for
sitcoms. If you need your
fucking characters to be doing something while they
stay bullshit to each other, the jokes
that do not work, they should just be
playing the little guitar thing and that's it.
And I'm not ragging on them. I had so
much fun with those things, but you know what I think did it in?
Remember that Donkey Kong
like bongo game? Yeah. I think
that's what the world was like, you know what?
We
spent so much time asking
what we could do. We never should have, we never
asked if we should do it the first place.
And the person who was like, what we need is
a bongo video game
and you fire that person
you know what I don't like
fire people just parallel put them in a different
place research and development now
tell me if I'm daydreaming here
but I think another nail in the coffin for that shit
was I believe there was a DJ hero
where you were like scratching
on a fake turn table
there was also a scumbag record
executive
hero
yeah you would like
hang out with bands
do fake cocaine and like
Fuck them out of royalties.
That was the point of the game.
Rody Hero was great because you were like just pushing cases up ramps and being surly the whole time.
I like the little thing with a controller where they gave you the little rolled up dollar bill.
That was plastic just to see if you could do it.
Oh, you missed part of that line.
You only got 73% of it.
Try again.
You have to sniff into the microphone.
You weren't close enough.
The roadie game was great though because you press X for it.
I'm on my lunch break.
I'm on my lunch break.
I'm union.
I'm union.
So, yeah, he gets wrapped up in this, in this rock band.
Speaking of fake cocaine, he does a line of pixie sticks before playing it.
God, that's fucking stupid.
And he misses that the new movie is starting.
And no idea that the movie was going to be totally different.
Oh, my God.
And it's just, this is the, these parkour rollerblading fucking skateboard and bike ride and
fucking BMS Bandits
dude. That's the enemy of the fat.
Ah, yeah. It's the active.
Yes. Yes. Active and tattooed.
Yes. That's
quasi cool, right? Because the guy's
got long hair, one of them.
And he's skateboarding. And it's like, I've got
a gun and I'm on a skate.
Oh, yeah.
And check this out.
I think of,
pop, pop, pop.
That's ridiculous.
It is absolutely ridiculous.
And those scrubs.
And they just go full into it.
I would love to see someone actually get shot, though.
That would be something.
That would be nice.
I will say, because, you know, when they hit me, I'm going to acknowledge it.
If I remember, another legitimate laugh here for me is he's rocking the fuck out and the music's so loud that he can't hear what's going on when this siege is happening.
And you have this shot of like, you know, sort of like the POV of the game screen basically.
And you're looking at Kevin James head on.
And behind him.
all of these people are bagging on the door for help
as like people are running out of the mall screaming.
That's kind of funny.
Meanwhile,
there's something,
something,
it's like a,
uh,
a bombs or on the side of the mall.
Like Alan Covert is like about to,
he just kind of gets written out of the movie by getting scared.
And you as the movie goer have to be like,
that coward.
I'm like,
no,
he's a fucking mall security guard.
It's like,
he should be totally gone.
These guys come in and he's like,
oh,
hey,
yeah,
it's mall's closed.
We're not letting anyone in.
They're like,
oh,
I think we're getting in.
And he's like,
okay goodbye movie yeah exactly
totally fair
he's gone oh Detroit Rock City
is the song that James is playing on
on rock band which is a great song
for a movie set in New Jersey
yep makes totally same
in Massachusetts by the way the Burlington
Mall outside of Boston apparently
I look at my field team found
out this information the funny thing
though was they tried to shoot at a mall in Jersey
and the fucking mall was like no you can't
do that like God bless them
I don't know mall it's a mall it's a
Mall in, you're making this movie in 2008, you need all the publicity you can get.
No, we don't.
We're burning it down for the insurance.
Good point.
The mall in West Orange, New Jersey that prominently features legal seafoods.
Couldn't get more New England.
Right out front.
There's some legal, legal seafood made it up here, at least.
We have never.
To white planes.
Yes, I never stepped foot inside.
There was a legal seafood upstate.
There was one in colony, I believe.
But wasn't that, like, recently-ish?
I don't know about that.
Maybe it was a knockoff.
But kids at home, the health inspector now said it's illegal seafood.
So you won't be seen.
It was barely illegal seafood because, I mean, like, I mean, you know, it's fucking fast food fish, dude.
Not a great idea.
I think that the thing that they tried to present themselves as was like, listen, we're the legal
seafoods company were a little classier than Red Lobster.
That's exactly.
You can go for you.
Cheddar Bay Biscuits,
shithead.
Or you can come have a nice meal.
You can come here and have
the most subpar chowder
you've ever had.
You're like really salty chowder?
Well, then we've got you.
You like a bread bowl?
Do you like a bread bowl?
Do you like your fish
undercooked and not successfully
deboned?
Come right this way.
Enjoy.
You think they were mobbed up?
Legal seafood company?
Like, it's just like,
it's, trust me.
It's legal.
It's legal. If they are, I retract
my state. Yes.
The greatest restaurant chain ever
exists. Great franchise. But so
everyone, it's all
in the bank in the mall now
and like Amy is there.
The mall bank. Yeah.
What a bleak place to go to.
It is grim. Dude, the scarlet made me
depressed. Just looking at it. I'll tell you what, though.
This, it wasn't me personally.
I did my banking outside of the mall.
But it was the thing. Like a lot
of people we worked with, it was like, oh, you
got the paycheck and then you went
right down and you deposited your paycheck
at the mall bank. A lot of
people did that. So this
oddly rang kind of true for me.
Yes. When I worked
retail, dude, I was, I was going to the
check cash in place. Oh, Jesus.
Dude, you get a fucking coupon for a bottle
of whiskey. You got to give them their
slice. Oh, yeah, they got a cut
for you, my good man. He's like, I here's
375 for you and 175
for me. We're doing it right away.
So was there one pain between you and him?
are two pay. Oh, there was at least two. I didn't have a bank account because
I was an idiot. It just was what it was. But it was a gross existence
going to the check cash place. Uh, so it turns out
Beck. Pushed. Exactly. Uh, here's my check and I like
a, I like a steamboat Harry in the fourth race. Thanks so much. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm
going to cash my work check and also place a bet on a horse. Absolutely.
Uh, so here's the big turn. Uh, because Amy's all,
hey he said get down what are you doing Vec you're still standing because he's in on it and not
only is he in on it he's like the ringleader of the whole thing he's the leader what a twist
didn't see it coming absolutely dude and his thing is about titty twisting a sweaty
breast and his thing is I want everyone all of my minions who are cutely named after us you know
Reindeer.
Reindeer.
Yeah.
Rudolph, whatever, Blitz, and whatever.
So Christmas movie, like, come on.
Here's the thing.
It's, it's, how about this?
Black Friday movie.
It's not a Black Friday or Thanksgiving movie and it's not a Christmas movie.
It's a movie that takes place at the holidays.
But it's kind of all encompassing.
We get a lot of holidays here.
I don't want to be Mr. Blitzin.
Why do I have to be Mr. Blitzin?
Because another guy and another job is Mr. Donner.
You're Mr. Blitzen.
All mapped out.
We're going to get the codes.
We're going to fly off on my plane.
The codes.
So they have to go, all of these guys have to go and use invisible ink on their arms to write the code for every machine.
And again, I think it's identity theft.
But what even is this?
I don't, I don't, it doesn't make, it would make more sense like, it's the biggest retail night of the year.
We're going to rob all those registers.
Yeah.
And it's going to be whatever it is.
That sounds like a plot.
That sounds like bad Santa.
All the stores store their money in the mall bank or something.
It sounds like what the fucking sticky bandits are doing in Home Alone 2 lost in New York.
Which is why I feel it was like maybe a little too close.
And they're like, someone might have a case on this one.
So it's a little late for this plot to happen.
It's also a little late for Adam Ferrar to show up.
But I like Adam Ferrar.
I do too.
I think he's a great stand-up.
I think Adam
Rescue me to
I think Adam Ferrara
as this as Vec
now you've got a movie
That would be something
If he's like Kevin James
How dare you
You fat idiot
You know what I mean
And they're going at it
You know
His Long Island accents
Just spreading like a bird
Absolutely
If we're talking about
It's flying through this movie
The talent
I mean like
It wouldn't work
Because he couldn't be
his underling
But Bobby Connavali
Would certainly get me
More interested
Very quick
Kind of
This is a 2008
This is a 2009
Bobby Connavali
Valley. So you're still not quite there. But his dick was still huge, though.
Still huge. Is that right? Absolutely. Oh, my God. Pictures of that era?
I was watching boardwalk empire one day. I'm like, hey, I'm just trying to watch boardwalk empire.
I don't know. I hope I don't know my masculinity to destroy. And then fucking Bobby Connavalli
whips it out. And I'm like, well, there goes that. You know, apparently has a large penis.
What's it. Harpo marks. Wow. It's really. It's always honking on something. I'd believe it.
I believe it. Bigger of it. Gobo Blart.
you think that's a genuine
penis? Because sometimes people put on a little
something else. Oh, interesting.
No, he's running around with him.
No, he's for real. He's always going to be number two
to Defoe because Defoe's penis
scared Lars von Trier.
What? You just
nobody can, like Lars Venture is on record
being like, I couldn't show his penis
because he was too big. He looked at it and he looked
at it and the cock went, Chaos Rains.
I am now Googling
confusingly large.
Bobby Cannibal penis.
You know what?
This definitely exists on Paul Blart's
Solid State. Oh, totally.
Totally. Yeah, because he's got a whole drive for
celebs. Oh, yeah.
All right. Now I'm doing it because
All right. I got, now I'm doing
Bobby Canterbury penis boardwalk.
You haven't seen it yet because
Steam is to come out of your ears yet.
Well, no, because like all these sites want to be
classy and show me the moments before.
And I'm like, get to the fucking time.
What sites? Just Google image search that shit.
It wasn't just turning up.
Okay.
All right, let me go back to Google image search.
It wasn't providing me anything before.
You got a safe search on, dude?
Well, that's a good question.
Might also just go to Reddit.
Go to the source.
Yeah, you guys continue.
All right.
All right.
I'm going to find the penis.
Well, but the Bobby Convala thing is like,
that's when this is like we're making no bones about it.
We're ripping off die hard.
We make no bones.
Yeah.
Because Adam Farah is controlling the scene.
And then all of a sudden, Bobby Connavalli shows up as a SWAT team guy.
And he's like, now I'm controlled the scene.
And I'm a tough guy.
here, blah, blah, blah. He comes in
a bit later than where we're at right now. His, by the
way, his character, super lame.
Just really bad because he's a bully or whatever.
Are they also, what,
is it just me or I feel
like, because again, like cable guy, like
all these different things that it's like, I was like,
is there airheads in this at all?
Like, I feel like it has to be
because like, but you got to spend a little more
outside time with the cops
if it's an airhead. We got a lot of
outside in the parking lot in that movie.
Yeah, that's, I guess, it's because it's a better
movie. You're right about the airheads. The cast is
ridiculous. The cast is so stacked. It's insane. But, I mean, but and that's what
this movie misses because it keeps trying to cut back and have airheads every
time you come back to the the hostages. And you know, you've got Steve
René Sisi there and the, uh, the kid from the, the, the, the, the, the, the
professor, etc. Yeah. And like, you're expecting comedy to happen, but it doesn't. The
plot just keeps having to have it, because it just, comedy takes a backseat
immediately when this plot starts. Not only does
comedy take a backseat. When we're in this
bank, I mean, acting takes
a backseat. These people, like, I'm so
envious. They got to be in a movie where for
most of it, they're just sitting there looking
at the fucking floor. Let it be
known. Eric just turned his
home. I'm on a
website. I'm on a website
called men's celebrities.
Let me figure it out. Sick plug.
I'm watching. I'm watching a...
Phone is horizontal.
Yeah, well, that's how you can look at it.
Good. He's licking his lips like a
Cartoon Wolf. Come on. Where is this shit?
He was, he was stooping her, but where's the
fucking penis?
Where is the fucking penis? All right, I'll report back
soon. Apparently we're putting
the romance site, the romance scenes
on men's celebrities.
I appreciate that. There's a
very important
plot detail that we need to get in here is that
Wee's and the Juice guys
daughter's cell phone rings.
And it's her ex-boyfriend
Pahood, played by
a dear Callion, who is
Al from that TV series
the United States of Al
how you do it's CBS comedies
Oh yes
He was also the Rules of Engagement
Which is a David Spade comedy
With Patrick Warburton
Oh that television show
He's like oh not the Samuel Jackson
Tommy Lee Jones movie
It's not the war film
And then I was triply incorrect
Because I was thinking of the film
Rules of Attraction which has nothing to do
With anywhere
But yeah
And his thing is like he's just
being silly and like he's obsessed with the girl
and like the only thing that is plot oriented
he's like oh I can track her phone I know exactly where you are
L.O L.L I'm a creep and like that's sort of whatever I wonder if that's
going to come up later it might it might just happen
one of my biggest yeah rights of this movie is like so
Kevin James comes out of the arcade and he's walking around the mall
first of all he has the line oh mall closed early it's black Friday
you fucking idiot what are you talking about that was dumb
But so he's walking around and he's like noticing things are a bit off and he walks past this Dunkin' Donuts and he notices that all the donuts are still in the shelf to which he goes, huh, Gary usually delivers the leftovers to the mission. And I was like, yeah, fucking right. Gary does anything with Dunkin' Donuts, donuts. What are you talking about? These fucking corporations do they fucking put all that in a bag and throw it out in a dumpster and lock that shit. They lock it. This penis is all right. I wish I had some better angles on it.
You got to watch the show.
Show's very good.
I guess I'll watch the show.
That's where he uses the penis to fly and take off.
Try and get me now, Steve Busemi, you fucking idiot.
Fuck you, Nucky.
Fuck you.
Bobby Canny.
You know, and like he, I think the first guy is skateboard guy that he runs into.
And like, because, and he beats him up.
And it's like, okay, that's, that's all right.
Right.
You know, it should be said that we are now.
in the movie in a situation where
Paul Blard is emerging from his
guitar hero
rock band Hayes.
Still excited. It's still shaking with the excitement.
Oh, yeah. The pixie sticks still present
in his bloodstream.
Found pixie sticks in his bloodstream. That's
what did it.
100%.
He would absolutely do that.
Okay, this site is much better. Queer Click.
And you got, they enhance
the shot of the penis.
Yeah, get that gamma up.
Yeah, you got a little...
Finally, someone doing the work.
What am I looking? Is that the boardwalk?
I get, yeah, this is the, well, it's kind of an...
God's eye of Bobby's dick.
He's taking a shower, you say.
Much like a hitchcock.
That looks like a little blood sausage for me there.
Jesus Christ.
It's just delicious.
Look at the girth on that fucking thing, man.
When that thing gets hard, holy shit.
Yeah, you're in trouble.
Go find Harpo Marx's dick.
Is that?
Is that on here for a real?
It's on Twitter.
The dicks of 30s comedy legends.
Yeah.
No, but there's a shot.
Fatty Arbuckle.
There's a shot in a night at the opera, I think.
That would be amazing.
If Bobby Cadevello had to play Harpo marks
in a biopic because of the cock was so big.
Look, it's the only thing that makes sense.
The only similarities you got with Harpo is your penis.
Everything.
And you're taller than he is.
I don't think he's on men's celebrities.
Oh, that's a god damn shame.
So, like, I mean, and this is sort of when the movie gets really, really boring is it's just, it's him hiding and like always.
Yeah, like there's a bit where like two, two of them go after him.
Yes.
And this is when he's like, dude, this fucking air conditioning duct was really industrial.
I'll tell you what, man.
It's so weird that this whole thing is like, I mean, it's hanging from the ceiling, I guess, to make this sequence happen.
but yeah, it is working over time.
This is parkour versus fat food, right?
This is, I got so pissed off because they tried to,
this is a moment when he should be farted.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
But they don't because they think they're fucking classy.
That would be great because then it gets through the vents.
Exactly.
Steeping out all over the mall and people are passing out.
Just nothing but potential for jokes here.
But instead, it's, I haven't eaten today.
Yeah.
I have the belly grown.
Yeah, dude.
And that is what leads to it.
I'm surprised, gentlemen, we've made it this far
without saying Paul Blart
more like
Paul fart. But he does not fart at this movie
out of this is sure. It's insane.
Instead of being hungry, he should just be
he should be farting. His ash should be
spraying diarrhea. This movie stinks.
It does. I mean, the
dumb thing here also is
again, like you're doing
die hard in a mall and you're putting the
protagonist in the vents for a little
bit? Just shut up.
Just stop. God damn it.
Stop what you're doing. They had to build a vent
big enough for Kevin James just to film
this. Oh no, it's an enormous
vent. It's like an HVAC unit
you'd need at NASA
for some reason. So
the display
such as it is in this store is like
there's a bunch of mannequin legs hanging
from the ceiling. So that's what
he's doing. Just like Clue.
Clue. Clute.
Oh, clout. Yes.
Yeah, a lot of mannequins include, actually.
And so he, this was kind of interesting.
The dude that, like, breaks a fucking, like,
display pole in half and starts jamming it up trying to repel him.
That's kind of funny.
Yeah, it's kind of scary for a minute.
There's five seconds of stakes.
Some tension. A little bit there.
That dude runs away and the vent falls on this woman,
presumably killing her.
Because that thing, too, it's such a, like,
In Diehard, he's murdering these people.
That's why they, but like, he ties up one guy in a, in a tanning bed.
But everyone else is like kind of bonks on the head.
And then they're, you know that they're out of the movie.
Just out of the head.
They got tagged.
It's so aggravating because this movie should write itself.
He should be able to take out every one of these parkour robbers with some mall related like
bit of, yes.
It's like, where's the like, I'm going to become the mall?
Yeah.
No, like that kind of thing, like disappear into the mall.
Like, this is my mall.
They don't know where, they don't know where all the stuff is.
He gets three tiles on his face and go up against the wall.
He's, it's already, he's already a juvenile.
Kids turn it into home alone in a mall.
Exactly.
The gumball machine.
They can fall on that.
You could drown one of them in the orange Julius dispenser.
Drown them.
That could be a thing.
Use a hot dog in some way.
Hey, wait a second.
Speaking of hot dogs, am I, am I thinking right here?
We don't see a food court at all in this movie.
I don't believe so.
That's fucked up.
Unbelievable.
You know there is one.
That's where the whole movie should pretty much take place, right?
But they should be locked up somewhere maybe in the back of like the fucking China Walk or the fucking Taco Bell or the Wendy's.
You already have the encased meat, sweaty meat of Kevin James.
Give me a hot dog.
The hot dog.
Give me an A&W.
He shoves a bunch of hot dogs in the guy's mouth, then shoves hot dogs in his eyes and hot dogs in his.
No, he's one of his butt, his ears and then his butt, yeah, dude, he shoves it all up his
butt, he stretches out his ass.
And then he snaps of picks and sends it to men's celebs.
Like, you can at least do that to the guy who's like, I'm going to kill your girlfriend
17 times in front of your face.
Instead, we'll fall into the ball pit.
And this whole sequence is something, right?
Because this guy's got a skateboard.
I can see him jump in the roof with this angle.
Sure.
the segue, not so much.
He doesn't even get up to that area.
He just drives it forward
and goes across, knocks into
this guy, falls into a sky, like,
we are destroying so much of this mall.
Oh, yeah, dude.
Paul Blart needs to be brought up on fucking
charges. Oh, he should be. I don't know
if that happens. I forget Paul
mall cop too. I don't know if that happens.
But I hope it does. And we also have
this thing, like really specifically, I think cops
try to invade the mall a couple times.
And there's like devices that
Vec has planted
that stops them from doing that
and I think if they do it again
they better use body bags
and then cut to
little girl Blart
just in the mall with a sandwich
where's my daddy?
I'm like how the fuck
did you get in this movie?
Because she's got a fucking
key card thing
that Paul Blart gave her
like look I'm gonna need you
to bring me a sandwich
halfway through my shift
so here's a security card
for you to get anywhere in the mall
Hey dad what are you just bring it
and put in the community fridge at work
No, you have to come bring it.
You know, because then the bread's going to get soggy.
I need you to make it and get it to me in no less than 20 minutes.
Very specific with his food orders, as we know.
Teenage girl, here's a key to everything in the mall.
Shoplift with your friends get fucked up and down the mall.
That sounds great.
You know what's happened?
That's what's going to happen.
But that sounds great.
I'm much more into that idea than I am to what's happening.
She just shows up and gets kidnapped.
And now it's like, oh, no, your hot girlfriend and your daughter, both now in danger, I guess,
sort of maybe. What kind of a father
has his daughter, his
flesh and blood, come into
the fray of Black Friday
to deliver him. That's true.
Well, look, you just,
you haven't been in a situation yet in which
you need an emergency sandwich.
Lord knows I have. Everybody
I mean, it happens to all of us eventually
in life, but one day you will also need
an emergency sandwich and you will wish
that your progeny had a
magical card that gets you involved. Ben, you see this bracelet
I have here? I press this button.
sandwich 20 minutes later.
It lights up and everything.
It's his sandwich alert
bracelet.
Bobby Connovali does show up at some point
a little back from
where we're jumping towards, but I just want to bring
it up because it's another legitimate
laugh because he's like, oh,
he goes, Paul Blart,
I think it went to high school with that guy.
Let me talk to him when he gets on the phone and he's like,
oh yeah, this is me, Bobby Conavale.
Remember me from high school, Blart?
I'm the one that set you on fire
at the pancake festival, that's good.
I like the one before that
when he was like, Paul Blar, we used to abuse
that loser in high school.
That's what he says to the cops.
And I like that abuse that.
That's a good one.
Legitimate laugh.
Yeah, there you go.
There's a couple.
There's a couple.
Abuse.
Yeah, the ball pit thing happens.
That dude's dead.
Yeah, the daughter shows up.
Oh, we got to stop the action.
because as as like zeroed in on saving the mall as he is,
he's also super horny.
Of course.
Still trying to bag this Amy Whig sales lady.
Sure.
So he stops everything to try to break into this hallmark store to get her a birthday card
because it's also her birthday on this day.
Dumb as fuck.
Well, she also says this is a weird thing which makes no sense.
She's like, oh yeah, it's my birthday.
but like good luck anyone ever getting me a card
because it's like always Black Friday
I'm like no that would happen like once every seven years
would be kind of an end
black friend is kind of a newish phenomenon anyway
I was born on Friday
No no no no no
My birthday is always the third
Friday in November all right
And Paul Blart
destroys this this like hallmark
store's door
Yes bursts it through
it on the segue to get this fucking thing
Yeah
And eventually blows up the fucking Rainforest Cafe
he does well you know there's also this bit that's so in the trailer and like so like knee slapingly funny as he gets a cut on his arm and it's a little hello kitty bandaid and i mean like this was could you imagine this was like what it was this is the third joke of the movie he's fat there's a segue l-o-l tiny band-aid on fat that is the third joke of the movie folks and although that that proliferates because what eric said is absolutely true can you imagine because that's like
There is no joke to him, like, stopping in the middle of this to get her a birthday card.
It's just like, can't you imagine a birthday card in the middle of a hostage situation when his love is right now?
Can you even imagine?
He tries to talk tough over the intercom.
Again, this is kind of like Bruce Willis talking to the terrorists, you know.
But, uh-oh, the hypoglycemia kicks in and he passes out and he's got to eat this disgusting lollipop.
This is after the costume change.
He puts on a black uniform now because he's a badass.
Now it's bad.
Bout, bough, bough, bough, blart.
I'm surprised we didn't get any jet in this.
Like, are you going to be my girl?
Because that's way too modern music for Happy Madison's music selection.
The audience wouldn't know what was happening.
I suppose.
And scared.
All the gen Xers in the audience.
It sounds exactly like the old music, but it's new.
How?
This isn't sticks.
this isn't sticks
this isn't sticks this is
oh wait that was sticks
that was it okay that was a pixie stick
great
line delivery by one of these
ex game non-actors it's just
we got them trapped in the
rainforest cafe
holy shit get some actors
for this stuff folks well they had
they had to get parkur people
yeah that's true act like
have to be able to do gymnastics too
Yeah, they flip around shit.
Very useful for credit card fraud.
Absolutely.
Oh, totally.
2009.
I think he knocks one over,
he knocks somebody over something in the rainforest cafe and he bobs another one on the head in the rainforest cafe.
And then the third guy eats a piece of lettuce in the rainforest cafe and just dies from trickinus.
Yeah, totally.
Like, just his fucking asshole falls out and he drops dead.
This is eating unwashed rainforest cafe lettuce.
Anybody ever eat in a rainforest cafe?
I did once.
No, never, never been, never, never saw one in the wild, to be honest with it.
There's a big one in Chicago, I remember, but I would never want that, yeah.
We, we didn't have one grown up, but what we had, you remember this in the mall, Chris Cabin?
You remember the Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse?
Oh, of course, that's a lot of syllables.
No, that is literally what it was called.
It was, it was like a fancyish mall restaurant called the Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse.
And you walked in and there was, we should stop, sir.
There's a talking moose.
A talking moose.
It was like a moose head and go,
Hi, welcome to Bugaboo Creek Steakown.
It's going to be 30 minutes before your table.
Go, go, go.
And it was.
And your life has been cursed.
It was a total rip of the rainforest cafe because they had,
it was the same thing, but it was like,
instead of the rainforest, it was like North Dakota Cafe.
There was bear stuff everywhere.
Bears all over the place.
It's the northern exposure, like, rest.
was the American version. Good drink menu or anything?
No, absolute garbage from top to bottom. Oh, cool.
Extra sugary margaritas and whatever. Get yourself a bugaboo bear. And that was a place where I definitely
had shitty fish. These fake restaurants are just awful. I mean, it was. Born in captivity,
raised in raw sewage. I mean, it's, it's whoever wins, we lose situation, because that place was
right next to a Ruby Tuesdays.
And it was just like either way.
I got such bad food, but I was I think during a
Ruby Tuesdays, forget about it.
That's what they served.
It's different kinds.
Was it the typhoon shrimp?
I think it was just the burger.
And then it was like, oh, no.
Typhoon is what comes out of your ass.
And it was like, it was me.
I just started dating my wife, Jen, and her friend.
And we were like, I were dating both of them?
Yeah.
Her friend was there.
That's a large move.
The way you structured that sentence, man, you really blarded up that.
And it was like, oh, cool, ironic, we're at a ball.
Let's do, let's hit up the Ruby Tuesdays, L.O.L.
Guess who now has diarrhea for the rest of the evening.
Steve, did you shit in the car?
Goodbye.
Oh, Ruby Tuesdays.
Get out of my ass right now.
Actually, though, another culprit man, because it was popular at every Ruby Tuesdays,
I think, at least pre-COVID.
Were you going to that salad?
No. Oh, okay.
Because I've, I've, I've risked my life at that rain Tuesdays.
Green death.
Yeah, yeah. The cubed ham there, that will give you the sixth season.
Absolutely.
So, like, you just back your cubes.
Is this locally cubed?
You ship a source from the Hudson region?
So wait a second, though, because the worst line of the movie happens at the
Rainforest Cafe where he's dispatching these dudes.
Uh, one of them, he takes an oxygen tank.
and positions in front of a dude
and he goes, scuba dooby-doo and
knocks the cap off and it flies
and hits him, I guess. Am I supposed to
laugh at that? I'm supposed to cheer.
Oh, you're supposed to be doing both
dude. You're supposed to be leering at that.
Laugh cheering. Because that is as close to you get
as any of us get to an Adam
Sandler, a dooby-duby-duby-doo.
That's true. A scuba-duby-do.
That's just close enough.
Whatever I'm accused of leering
at some ladies.
Yeah.
I'd be like, no, I was actually
cheer laughing.
That's right.
It's being supportive.
And then the big like,
which like, I don't know, man,
this is a movie called fucking Paul Blart Mallcup.
I feel when there's an explosion,
this is the end of the movie.
Yeah.
Because there's some gag about like,
he's got them all locked up in that fucking rainforest
cafe.
And what he's done here is he has very dangerously
and irresponsibly turned the gas on the stoves.
Smart move.
and left a curling iron there.
Oh, yeah.
This explosion happens.
I mean, that person is 100% dead.
He fucking killed that person in the rainforests.
He's going full under siege right now.
Oh, you better talk to the captain, dude.
Except this guy can't cook.
He can just order it.
How great would it be to see Paul Blarton, a knife fight?
Yes.
I'd like to see him lose it.
Oh, well, if anybody wants to be really scarred by Kevin,
He played a white nationalist in this action horror movie, Becky or Beth or something like that.
I think it might be back.
They just made a sequel with Sean William Scott is in for James.
Wow.
And I was like, how are you making sequels to these movies that nobody fucking sees?
How?
That's true.
That's fucking crazy.
You know, much like Stephen Segal in Under Siege.
Kevin James apparently said no martial artist of sorts.
Yes.
really because it's here come the boom right right like he was like a UFC guy weirdly can fight
he knows how to put some holds on throws his weight around yeah now I mean he seems to be
balking up a bit because before because I remember when like he first was like becoming a movie
star like they did some like thing about him doing like charity events and it was all golf
and you got imagine that's like not helpful so when you get like UFC like you're like at least
I'm active here sure I'm not just like hanging out staring at the golf course
another like crazy edit to sort of the end of this movie towards the end of this movie basically
because he's now like going back and forth with Vec and there's this thing with the Segway right
and he's like loads up the segue with a mannequin to trick Vec and like Vec like shoots the shit
out of out of the mannequin and it's like oh it's obviously a mannequin and you cut back
and then he's like wait a second it's a mannequin he goes back to the bank and I swear to God
like it's the end of an okay joke which is he used a pulley system to get everyone else out of
Oh yes you're right because you don't see this happen all you come back to the bank and it's just
the kid from the kid from the clumps hanging from the ceiling but he's too heavy to go so it's like
the joke is oh man we can't lift this kid up but everyone else is in the rafters that thing
that would take all night it would order Maya uh Amy the wig sales lady and fucking
Steve ran his easy pen salesman
are already up there and you didn't see
any of this start. He does it in like
30 seconds. And that would be a setup of a joke
right? Like you get her, you get him. It's like, oh man, you're getting
heavy. And then the joke is, all right, we have three seconds
left. Let's get the last guy. L.O.L. He's fat.
Yeah. But like, cunning back, you have to do so much mental math to
realize what happened because the edit was so bad. You're right. It's
totally awful. You just have no fucking clue
what's happening. But thankfully,
this movie does not leave you
an opportunity to think about that too much
you ain't dwelling on nothing
because you better believe it
he falls through the ceiling
Bob!
Could you imagine?
Oh my God.
Dude and like none of them
like no one in the room
like every other actor
in this scene does not react.
Yeah.
And I think it's like
I think they thought that was funny
for one reason or another
but it's really just like
yeah he fell again.
What do you want us to do?
We know he falls. He falls all the time.
He's there being fallen this whole
They're directed by a car.
It's just beep, beep. That's not helping
me for this scene. So now
it's just Vak. He kidnaps just
Amy and the girl and the daughter.
After Paul Blart throws
hot sauce in his eyeball. I should say, yes.
Getting back to bull's eye.
This is this is the one
genuine guffaw for me at least.
Like for whatever reason,
Paul Bart
to get the better of Vec in this scene
sure he has
and this I don't know if we've mentioned it
but the hot sauce
Hercules has gifted him
a bottle of hot sauce
the devil's crotch I believe
to make him feel better
for you know
I guess losing the nacho eating contest
I think I saw the devil's crotch
on queer clip
it's pretty good
kind of Bali
that's hot
tidy down there
the devil
the devil
I don't know
Take a weed whacker to it.
It's a little blood sausage going on there.
So he's got this hot sauce holstered.
Yeah.
And he whips it out and they do like he kind of like he spins off the top.
You know, like a real pro.
Like a real pro.
He's opened a condiment container or two.
Oh, he knows how to eat.
Good for him.
He's very smooth.
This is all one smooth motion.
And he picks it up and you kind of like know this is going to happen.
But the way that they do it, the thing that got me.
was just this sound effect.
Yeah.
The little bloop.
Yep.
Of the hot sauce.
It's just one, one swift little,
he shakes it once and the hot sauce travels across the room and hits the guy right in the eye.
Right in the eye.
Back into the left.
And back and in the left.
Stop.
In mid-air, mind you.
But the thing about that, that's so crazy.
And again, because I was like, all right, the movie did not end with the Rainforest Cafe explosion.
it. Here it is. The big face off
with Vec. He just got him with that hot sauce.
Kevin James literally
stands there and does
nothing. The character doesn't
move. He just looks at him.
Vec is like, why did you throw hot
sauce at me? Well, got to go.
The joke is he stops as, man, I should
have capitalized on that. I'm like, yeah, because
the movie would be fucking over, Blart.
But we can't do that.
Turn it off. It would only be
an hour and 15 minutes or something.
So we need to pad it with another 10 minutes.
where they're now this guy gets away
and they're driving to the fucking airfield.
For no reason,
Paul Blart pulls a Blues Brothers
and drives the dented van
that he fucked up at the beginning of the film
through a store window.
I guess so.
Take that discount clothing store.
He picks up Bobby Connovali
who is now impressed by all of the
diehard shenanigans.
Like you're pretty cool Blart.
I guess Paul Blurt is a badass.
Yes. Thank you very much.
That's a horrible line.
And the whole thing with the phone tracking comes back because Kevin James calls this dude Pahoon again.
He's like, hey, man, remember that creepy thing about tracking your ex-girlfriend's cell phone?
Do that again because I need to see what's going on.
And this dude is just like, oh, it looks as if they're heading towards an air base.
And I was like, does it?
It doesn't really look like that Pahoon.
Okay, man, whatever.
It looks like they're heading to a special secret headquarters on an air base.
It's just such a bad, stupid line.
Vec has this phone because it has all the codes in it.
Oh, that's right, because Kevin James has been, like, as he kills one person after another here,
he sees the black light number on their arm and then types it into the phone for whatever reason.
We're driving along.
We're trying to do this big fucking Arnold Schwarzenegger action stunt here where, like, Paul Blard is on the top of this van.
He's going to jump over onto the van and save the day.
He's dead. He literally just jumps off into like the little road embankment there.
He would be dead. I wish. I wish he was dead. This, the hot sauce gag. I think even the, I need a tiny band-aid gag.
Very family guy-esque. You know what I mean? That's true. We're going to hold. I hit my shin and go,
oh, oh, man. And you know, Kevin James, if they were ever making a live action fucking family guy, he would be first in line.
Go into the social media to try to get himself in that.
that fucking roll.
Man, you know what?
If there's ever a live action
Family Guy movie, I'm
fucking done with the media.
That's the lot.
I mean, I've already been done
with Family Guy for like 20 years.
I can't even imagine.
It's going to happen.
Oh, man.
But so we get to this air strip.
And again, I ask,
how does some scuzzy dude from Jersey
have this private jet gassed up
and ready to go?
Whatever. I guess he's a super criminal after all.
Do you know how much those codes are worth?
I heard.
$30 million.
Look, you know what, Gary, just have the plane ready.
I'm going to have the codes.
The codes are worth $30 million, sir.
Now, here's the thing that, like, I just, I don't buy it and I got to give the credit
back to Paul Blart and Kevin James.
Like, there's no way this little guy, Vec, is any match for Paul Blart.
And yet this dude is, like, besting him in a fight.
I'm like, how you're fucking.
three times the size of his kid.
No, thank you.
Just throw him to the ground.
And you would beat up like Marines this whole movie.
You know what I mean?
I wanted Paul Blar to do that like belly thing where like you expand the belly out.
And then he just belly bump goes flying off him into the propellers.
Classic fat guy combat movie.
And or the greatest fat guy combat move of them all, the EHonda 1,000 hand slap.
Oh, that's right.
Anybody could do it.
Yeah, I mean, that is really true, Ben.
because, like, he is killing the, like, guys who do wet work in Michael Mann movie.
Yeah, exactly.
Are fucking taking this place over and he's just dispatching them.
At one point, he does a head butt.
Yes.
I want that belly butt, dude.
Yes.
You know, or the bear hug, like the real fucking, yeah.
Interlock your hands and you fucking break this kid's spine.
Absolutely.
You swallow him in your own body.
Like your blob-esque body.
He just crushed inside your.
The headbutt thing is kind of funny because he headbutts the dude in the ball pit like after they fall through the skylight.
And obviously like he fucks up his own head as well and he goes, ah, nobody wins with headbutts.
I thought that was going to be.
Which is probably true, right?
I mean, I wouldn't want to do one.
No.
Has anybody been headbutted before?
No.
It hurts like how.
Oh, okay.
You see the key is you take the forehead.
Is that right?
And you smash that into the nose.
I got right
So the nose goes into the brain
That's right
Just kill someone
It's just do
Oh so Bobby Connavali's crooked too
That's like which he pulls a gun for no reason
It doesn't make sense
It's set up what he takes over the crime scene
Is swat or whatever
He wants to do such a good job with it
Yeah he's just like
Well how could you do that
If this series of events didn't happen as they did
He should just be the guy as like
You know what I was a bully in high school blot
you really showed me today by being
such a badass. Because it just
handshake end of movie. But that's
the way it should be. You're telling me, right.
We haven't mentioned the Zach
Braff cousin cop
whatever like what? Doesn't that
guy look like Zach Bras?
He doesn't look like Zach Bras. I can
see that. Yeah, he's like... We are in Garden State
here. But he saves the day by
shooting him in like the thigh or something.
The hand, he shoots the gun at his hand. He doesn't
the other guy. Oh, it's the
old guy. It's the dude from the wine.
The boss of the mall cops
Which this is a thing
Do not pass go
Go directly to fucking jail
Because it's a security guard
That stole a cop's gun
Out of the holster
They let you do that
You can do that
You know what
People think that's a big deal
But you can do it once or twice
In your life anyone
Yeah
I mean just grab a cop's gun
I imagine Peter Garrett was like
Well I was I'll be honest with it
I was trying to do a suicide by cops
I thought this would
be an easy way to get with. But hey, if I can save
the day, I can save the day. I'll take hero
just as much as I would have definitely
accepted suicide. A hail of bullets.
And because
we are getting our fucking money's worth, man.
I can't hold back by Survivor kicks
into the third time. And
you know, it's this whole, Adam Ferrar is like,
I know you wanted to join the state police,
but if you want to come on my like, Jersey
fucking whatever, in small town police
force, there's a spot for you. And he's
just like, no,
my job is protecting. I
people of this mall to be paid less
and have no benefit. Exactly.
Like this is makes no sense. He's got a kid. He's got
a fucking child. You can't work at the mall
your whole life if you have other opportunities.
There's nothing wrong with working at the mall or working retail
or working as a security guard. Nothing wrong with it at all.
But if you get the better opportunity
and you have a child, you have to then
take that opportunity. I don't want a pension.
Yes, exactly. You are a fucking idiot.
Like what this girl needs braces or something,
you're fucked. But to be fair
here, this, as we
see at the end. This is soon to be
a two-income household.
You're going to get wig money
as well as
wig retail money as well
as the security officer money.
I need more of him
and her. How is she just
instantly? Well, he gives her the birthday
card you see. Oh, yes. And again, because her birthday
always falls on Black Friday, which
is stupid. So I just have to be a
quote unquote nice guy.
Yeah, but yet be really fucking weird.
And also, not for nothing.
If anyone ever missed my birthday because of Black Friday, fuck you?
You know what I mean?
It's not that big of it.
No, it's my birthday.
Oh, Steve, I'm sorry I missed your birthday, man.
I was buying a TV.
All right, for how long?
And then after the TV, there was a really sick deal on a microwave and I had to wait in line for it to get the right one.
I was at a Best Buy at 315 in the morning.
I had my laptop.
You know, it's such a shame, Steve, that your birthday is always on Black Friday.
I just can never get around to it.
It's a shame.
Yours is always on St. Patrick's Day, Eric.
It's an shame.
Well, that's always.
That's always March of 17th.
Damn it.
But you were drunk, so it's okay.
Easter's one that switches.
Easter's all over the board.
Dude, Easter could be in fucking February.
Like, what the fuck happened here?
Totally.
I'll tell you what happened.
They're a fucking flub at the calendar factor.
Did Jesus see a shadow?
What the fuck?
Now I'm going to go back in.
Sorry.
Sorry, everybody.
Roll in the rock back again.
Six more weeks of dead Jesus.
I'm still tired.
I took a melatonin too late last night.
June Eastern this year.
I guess it's June.
Get to figure that shit out.
Punks of Tony pilot.
There you go.
He washes his tiny, his tiny, ponchitone.
There it is.
There it is.
That's it.
Don't pray angry.
Don't pray angry.
He watches his little groundhog hands
and the whole affair, you see.
With his cute Roman armor on.
That is adorable.
I would buy that stuff to animal at a heartbeat.
Oh, absolutely.
I always thought it would be great if there was a,
for the build a bear,
if they had an Easter one called the Cross to Bear.
Oh, that would be great.
You can pick the color of the wood that he goes up on.
Pick the stitchings for my blood coming out of my hands.
Yeah, that's right.
You simpletons come by the bear.
That has Jesus on it, you idiots.
Steve, don't give these ideas away for free.
Yeah, man.
There's so many dumb people out there
and that's a trillion dollar idea.
Yeah, but she reads this birthday card.
You know, she's horny because think I'm in love
by Eddie Money starts playing.
Oh, yeah.
And they just sort of walk off through the parking lot.
Maybe they'd have dinner at legal seafoods.
I don't know.
Not only does this guy stammering mess
when he's around me.
Not only does he have a 13-year-old daughter
who will eventually absolutely hate me.
Not only.
Did he poke me with his boner on the?
that segue rhyme. Not only is he
very unattractive.
Andy lives with his mom and that's awesome.
Okay, cool. I want to fucking
this dude's jerk Dan. That's what I want
to do. Oh yeah. And she's going to be paying
for that funeral too. When Shirley
Knight leaves this world, she's going to be
ponying up. Another reason why he should have
fucking, yeah, RIP Shirley Knight, by the
way. But another reason why
he should have joined the Forceman fucking free
funeral. Exactly. Right.
Yeah. But then so I was
like, oh, okay, movie. You at least
had the good grace to just fucking end
in that parking lot.
Uh, uh, uh, you get like four credits.
Uh, and what was interesting was I saw,
I've never seen this on a streaming platform before.
Tubi has this thing come up because I guess it must know there were more scenes
a comment.
And the thing said skip early credits.
Oh, interesting.
So if you need to get to these amazing extra scenes that you can't even hear
anything from faster, you
can skip the seven seconds of credit. It's a great
functionality for Marvel movies and what have you.
You know, I skip through the other credits. I wish
there was a skip early movie
button. Yes.
You just went, get me to the
guitar hero part and then I can go
from there. Skip
Mall, Siege, skip that, no
problem. Take me
right to Rainforest Cafe.
You know what? Take me right to the airport.
Skip said Thanksgiving,
but take me to fat off.
I just want that one scene.
This is what their wedding.
I turn off the TV immediately.
I did not know this existing.
They get married in the mall and like karaoke guy comes back.
Weez are the juice guy's there with his daughter.
Weezer the juice guy's daughter catches the bouquet.
Her boyfriend is there too.
Now they're back together.
He's at the wedding.
He didn't mention him enough.
He comes,
he's integral to the plot because there's a GPS on her phone.
That's how he finds out they're going to the air strip.
We didn't mention all of that.
Okay, I wasn't listening.
I was looking at dicks on my phone.
Very important work.
Like, if this were a true, like, they wanted to be a wacky movie, right?
And if this were, like, truly inhabited the spirit of, like, a Billy Madison or a happy Gilmore, a happy Madison movie.
Like, they would have, like, of just a fun shot of the parkour criminals at the wedding, too, because who gets a fuck, right?
But they don't.
Well, at least two were incinerated with the Rainbow Catve Exploded.
And the problem is also, it's over, yeah, there's a funeral.
Oh, maybe some skeletons dancing.
That would be kind of funny.
But it's like, doing parkour.
The wedding, which has, you know, visual gags that would be satisfying if you liked this movie, which I did not.
It's like, it's condensed and small and like the credits are going.
You'd barely see what's going on.
Yep.
Like, have the conviction to your point, if it is going to be this big zany movie and in a big silly wedding, right?
Like, that's, it's like, like, she just says something like, well, we'll see about that.
Smash cut wedding.
And then we're really paying off this shitty gag of both of them on his and her segways.
Yep.
Like, at least have that conviction to do it.
Because, like, you can't even hear any of it.
No, you can't.
It's just the Eddie Money song playing.
Exactly.
Because even Gary Valentine goes back as the wedding singer.
Like, these are, like, again, it's not good.
But if you liked the movie, it would be a satisfying conclusion to the movie.
Yeah, because, you know, like Ben pointed out.
like, yeah, all those Happy Maddus movies have that victory lap to them
one way or another.
This does not.
That is the end of the movie.
We will go around the horn here, Ben, as our esteemed guest this week.
Recommendations and final thoughts about Paul Blart, colon, mall cop.
Well, as the resident mall experts,
or around a thousand malls and whatnot.
Fraud in to assess this film, I can say with confidence that this is a hearty no.
heart, full-hearted, no.
Clawed, fat, artery heart, no.
Clawed toilets with this guy.
No, I mean, this movie, this is truly terrible
when I said that I injured my eye watching this movie.
It was not just a joke.
I literally woke up this morning with a sty in one of my eyes.
Brutal. Thanks a lot, Paul Blart.
And I blame Paul Blart.
You should.
Probably from me, like, doing the rubbing the eyes, like,
I can't believe what I'm watching.
Cry laughing too much.
Getting like popcorn salt in there or something like that.
Steve Saneck.
No,
no,
no.
I'm not a big Kevin James fan at all.
Like I like to stand up once.
And that's really been it.
It wouldn't shock me if you did something good once.
To my knowledge,
it hasn't happened.
This is a disaster.
I think that like,
I think there's a reasonable fun Paul Bart model cop where it really
just sticks to a low-stakes-ball movie
once it turns into a super
heist, I don't know who's supposed to like it
but I certainly didn't.
I will just go on record and saying
as saying, super
not a recommend. And I'm not
anti-happy Madison. There's a lot
of those movies that I think range
from great to pretty funny.
This ain't it, folks.
And I will say, I like
to pride myself, just like we all
here, as a fellow who
is aware of movies.
and knows movies that
exist and whatnot
when I tell you
no joke
I had no fucking idea
this movie had a sequel
I had no idea
it came out like 2015
or something like that I don't understand
six years and I just want to read
something here because it also might be a state
tuned at some point down the line
but I was like what could
what mileage are you getting
out of Paul Blart too so the whole thing
is like he goes to Vegas with the daughter
shenanigans but
The couple first lines of the plot summary on Wikipedia is some of the funniest shit.
Funnier than the first movie.
Following the events at West Orange Pavilion Mall,
Paul Blart is recovering from several misfortunes.
His wife, Amy, divorced him six days into their marriage.
And two years later, his mother Margaret was killed after being hit by a milk truck.
Wow.
Doesn't that happen at Banges to be to Sharon?
Isn't somebody else?
Some of his father is hit by a milk truck.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
At least it wasn't a segue.
So I guess Amy got her vision back, right, six days into the marriage.
Maybe that old rascal guy was driving.
Oh, there you go.
Despite all those fat jokes, it is fat phobic, it is stupid, it's fucking shitty.
I hate this fucking movie.
It was really tough to get through, honestly.
Yeah, it was a rough one.
Chris Cabin.
Oh, you got more there?
I'm sorry.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
or the rest of my opinion got hit by a milk truck.
I don't care. Go ahead.
I mean, it's a horrible movie.
I mean, like any Kevin James, it just, it's not there, man.
All of it, it just, it fails every time.
This, I even like some of the supporting cast is good.
I just, it's all late to waste because he cannot hold it off altogether.
He just can't do it.
I say that for all, here comes the boom.
I've seen a lot of these.
I was a critic around when this was
During the James Assons
So I've seen a lot of the shit
Zookeeper, right?
Zookeeper also.
We did the Zookeeper, also.
Yeah, we did the Zookeeper.
Big man.
Went for the small screen.
Well, all the, and that's why
I think he was the right move for those,
uh, the early Netflix movies.
But like, if you want to do it there,
but like watching Sandler on the small screen really does depress you.
Like I, I want to see him big.
Wasn't he in like a fucking assassin movie or something?
Yes, he was.
Yes.
Who could.
give a shit. There was so many of it, but yeah,
don't watch any of it. It's so bad.
Damn, that is Paul Blart Mallcup,
