Starting point is 00:00:00 I don't know Welcome to W.H.M.M. Mail. Bag everybody. My name is Andrew Jupin and, well, I got three friends who are going to join me tonight who all can read above like a fourth grade reading level. I'm like on a third grade, but making progress every day, folks. Let's see. You know him. You love him. Eric Siska. Oh, actually, I have trouble with the alphabet. What level is that? I think that's kindergarten. Oh, I don't know. Maybe. I'm at a kindergarten reading level. Hey, that's cool, man. ACD, right? That's how it goes. That is right. dude. And let's see, Mr. Chris Cabin. I mean, you've read George R.R. Martin. That's definitely second grade at least. Yeah, I can't. That's, that can't be too high, but it can't be too low either. I read that and I read ransom notes. Oh, damn. So that's definitely fourth grade. No, we're up. The ransom notes are much higher than R.R. Martin. I wear a belt with my big boy pants.
Starting point is 00:01:27 And speaking of writing ransom notes, Mr. Steven Sadeg. I'm a, obviously, I can read the top tier. This is Mutant X. It's a 1990s comic book series where Havoc, Cyclops' brother, goes into another dimension. Always like that. Does he have fucked up eyes too? No, he's got like fucked up teeth.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Yeah, he just shoots like circles at you, you know. You're just shooting circles. Energy circles. It's a very powerful man. Hey, folks. So the cool thing is, one thing we're going to plug right off the top, we have new items in our merch store, which is wild.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Should have you go to wh-h-mnpodcast.com, click on that merch tab. We have new T-shirt designs for both the King Kong Live show, which we're going to talk to you about in one sec, and also the new incredible design for our spring tour, both of which, of course, designed by our brilliant friend, Philippe Sobrero. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Um, but so Eric, we did a show last Thursday. Is that right? We did on King Kong. Peter Jackson's King Kong. Not your grandmama's King Kong. Not your 1933, Dusty King Kong. Just your father's King Kong. Just your father's King Kong. Was your granddaddy's Craig Kong three fucking hours? I don't think so. We got, you got more Kong than your daddy did. No, because it was a responsible 100 minute. But that show, which was live last Thursday, in where we also, on top of talking about Peter Jackson's epic three-hour King Kong adaptation, we also had a little after party where we were aying some cues and, you know, smoking a little bit and whatnot. I ate a banana. You did. Sure did, buddy.
Starting point is 00:03:23 What was it laced with, dude? Something from any which way you can. Yeah, that's right. I went to the zoo afterwards and had sex with an ape. And if you download this, if you get this now, you can get this footage and get it in slow motion. You can get slow-mo. Oh, yeah. And you can replay it as much as you want. And you can use that for whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:03:42 I mean, whatever you want. Deep fake it all you need to. At the actual live shows, which we'll talk about in a couple of seconds, those you can't jerk off at. At your own house, dude, you could do whatever you want. That is true. now speaking of filming stuff I'd facial ask Chris Cabot but a couple times oh yeah that's right
Starting point is 00:04:01 that's excellent we all live together yeah that was like every night that's what Chris you were like it's time for my shower it was in the bathroom it wasn't a bathroom Eric's right about that I don't know of course because then I came in with the mop after yes man I am not sleeping the night by mop you mean tongue yes oh yeah yes I tongueed it dude oh Jesus Christ all this to say here's a fucking clip
Starting point is 00:04:23 from the King Kong show If you want to see what that was like. fucked up by his experience there he didn't even want to live because every time he closed his eyes you saw fucking penis plants trying to suck his head off they do it those penis plants do it
Starting point is 00:05:07 they get it yeah they do I've seen a lot of different movies where a guy's head gets sucked off most of them have deal with Andy well I have Andy Warhol as the director three of them today and Adrian Brody and Damia Watts are instantly horny for one another
Starting point is 00:05:23 oh my God yeah there's like a meat cute where like she thinks the other guy is him and she thinks he's hotter and then like that's kind of a joke and then like she's just given she's given her classic Naomi wants open mouth breathing at people that's what's happening
Starting point is 00:05:37 there's a lot of looking up at the monkey I know you man very horny look we did me as Kong Steve why don't you demonstrate this horny look for everyone get more of the breathing
Starting point is 00:05:50 I need to hear more of the breathing yeah let's do it again Steve do it again that guy's horny as fuck how horny he is oh man not since Phillips Seymour Hoffman in happiness oh man
Starting point is 00:06:04 there's a little bit of a disparity between Naomi Watts and myself not much don't sell yourself short it's about three inches she's probably
Starting point is 00:06:14 at least three inches tall than I am oh definitely at the very least I would have guessed a whole half foot cut to we're getting
Starting point is 00:06:22 closer to the island because people are getting more and more scared including Colin Hanks who has a big bad nightmare about the word fog not about fog about the word fog
Starting point is 00:06:34 and he sees the map but it says fog and he was books hit differently back then too right I just I saw fog it was in the John Carpenter font it freaked me out man it freaked me out
Starting point is 00:06:48 and then but it comes that like the they can't like they're essentially hitting the wall because the captain is like, Jack Black, I don't want to fucking do this anymore. I want you off my fucking ship. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Well, because he finds out that the fucking cops are coming for him. And the movie, I'm sitting here like, it's fucking going on 45 minutes. We're not even at the island. And then the movie dares to tease me with literally turning around. The captain's like,
Starting point is 00:07:14 no, no, no, no, no, we're not going there. I just got a thing over the, you know, the wire. You're wanted. We're going to make a left for Singapore. We're going to Rangoon. I'm going to have delicious dumplings filled
Starting point is 00:07:26 with cream cheese. They're telling me there might be a movie on Skull Island. We can't go there because we have to just hang out on this boat for 45 minutes. There's a 25 foot gorilla. Oh, we have to delay that. Delay all seeing this 25 foot gorilla. I don't want everyone
Starting point is 00:07:42 to see this. 70 minutes until you see King Kong. For all that, the biggest shut the fuck up moment for me out loud in my home was when fucking Jamie Bell is like, I'm reading this book called Hard a Dock? Oh, dude. Do you know what that's about? Have you heard of a movie that's based on it?
Starting point is 00:08:01 Why does Marlowe keep going up the river, Mr. Hayes? Mr. Hayes, what's a theme? It's not an adventure story, is it, Mr. Hayes? Mr. Hayes, I made another boom, boom. Can you wipe? There you go, gang. There's just a little taste of a two hour plus. you know jay you didn't let me set up that clip because that's when i was working with these guys we just had so much fun on that one so much fun on the set for that last thursday yes available until this thursday april 27th moment dot ceo slash we hate movies that's right uh but steve

If you put your hand in your pocket and it's in your pants aren't off, I can't, I can't kick you out. Maybe the theater staff will. They got people watching for pocket pool. Don't think they don't have people watching for pocket pool.

It's the the cruise voyage home. Yeah. Oh, right. Around the moon and the whatever. It's my voyage home. I haven't been to San Francisco in fucking forever. And we haven't been to San Francisco in that's fucking forever. Yeah, totally. Thanks a lot. COVID. So we're really really excited to get out there. Yeah, we are dying to get out there. I mean, yeah, because of President Trump's lockdowns that he instituted on the country. That's why we weren't able to get there.
Starting point is 00:10:30 That's why. Yeah, we apologize for that. But just a few short days after our trek to San Francisco, Eric, we're winding up down southern California way. That's right.

Yeah, that's sold out. So that's going to be really, really exciting. We're so stoked to play our first show in Jersey.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Yeah. That has not happened a while. FYI, that was my impression of Billy Crudup in the movie Sleepers, where they're about to murder Kevin Bacon. they were at the bar and like the brisket is good here but she'll never know it oh man yeah it's been so long since i've seen that movie is that a dad for noon what i don't know about what time a day what time it depends on the dad pretty pretty intensely i got to tell you i think that's like that's like a 10 p.m. or like a yeah or a yeah i don't know because there's not really a good time to watch sleepers. Just don't do it, kids. It's a rough movie, man. It used to be on T&T TVS all the time
Starting point is 00:12:55 though. You could find it at 11 a.m. Oh, and you could find it with some parts cut out. That's for damn sure. Kevin Bacon's smiling still there, but what do you want? Brought to you by four trucks. Yeah, totally, dude. Like a
Starting point is 00:13:13 rock. Blow job. Just cut send real quick it's a fight club thing a blow job here is the full poster out for this look at this man awesome gorgeous stuff

Starting point is 00:13:46 and everything else in the store up to 35% off great time to get some new we hate movies threads folks you're sorry Bob the coolest one in your school now this is a mailbag and as such I understand
Starting point is 00:14:00 we have some letters to read so who wants to jump out in front here why don't let us start with Steve okay we'll do it better audience is rude hey guys long time listener and patron here
Starting point is 00:14:15 that's how you get your litter read by the way Oh, yeah, that'll get you right to the front of the line. Right this way, sir. Here's the proof of my Walsh level membership. Oh, right this way. No, we never check. I had an experience this weekend that I felt worth, worth discussing and getting your input. My partner and I went to see Bow's Afraid this weekend, which we both enjoyed, but not without some audience issues.
Starting point is 00:14:39 When you go to the movie, when you go to the movie is enough, you will inevitably have a bad audience experience and I try to accept that. That's a very fair way to live your line. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? The way you want that to roll out, though, is when the, you know, when the Reaper comes for you. And it's a bad experience, you want it to be a movie that while you're watching it, you are just absolutely not liking it all. I was so lucky. I had a bad crowd for fucking Evil Dead Rise because no thank orino for that fucking movie. I still want to check it out. But yeah, I feel like you're probably going to be. It'll be a hearty rental for you, dude. No reason to see him in the theater. It's become a bit of an Ari Aster tradition where my partner and I are always have
Starting point is 00:15:25 and I always have terrible theater neighbors during his movies. For Bo's afraid, the entire row we sat at was full. It was a small theater, so roughly 8 to 10 people per row. How many rows? What's the way? I mean, you mean 200 fucking the full thing. Let's stop reading. Let's wait until we find out
Starting point is 00:15:46 how many rows. We'll come back to this letter. Quick thing on assigned seats and the rows and all the things. Like, you know, you're going in. One thing I'd like to advocate if Joe Biden is watching, which I'm sure he is. Definitely. Here's your graphic. It's got all your seats, right?
Starting point is 00:16:04 How do I get YouTube off the TV? Hey, Dr. Jill, I want to get YouTube on the TV. What do you mean? Why are you mean? He's afraid. He can't be afraid. He's gone up to have me. Oh, man. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Oh, no. I did not set that up. That was a monkey's paw stocked and belowed scenario. Wait a minute. Well, wait a minute, man. I thought I was watching Wee Hey movies. What the heck's a low five beat? But so you got your graphic here.
Starting point is 00:16:37 It's got all your seats. You're going to pick your seats. All I want is a little part of this graphic to have the door where I could leave to go to the bathroom. Because that's going to really inform my. decision whether I go left or right. Also show me how far it is and show me the little peepie guy icon like down here
Starting point is 00:16:56 you know like yeah. I know where the bathroom is but no I really want to know which side of the graphic because it's so easy you've got everything else in there represented where the screen is. Yep. Just give you a little box where the door is that I'm entering through and those seats will fill up faster because I will be like oh cool I want to sit
Starting point is 00:17:11 on the side if I have to go to the bathroom I'm like I don't have to climb over 20 people. Absolutely. I mean because you can be so specific about like, you know, the layout of the seats. Like, I know there's one auditorium that I was actually for Evil Dead Rise that I know quite well, uh, in the Lincoln Square Theater that, um, it's K-17. I pick it all the time because it's behind a handicap row where the space in front of you is for if someone needs wheelchair access.
Starting point is 00:17:39 So a lot of the time you are fucking go for groups to just kick them legs out, man. It ruled. Do you want to let that information out? the wild next time I was like um I'm sorry Andrew K-17 has been taken now but the question is Steve is that the real seat number or oh oh do I totally not remember it's a game of chess with nobody yeah uh yeah terrible neighbor's darkest movies for Bose to pray the entire rows uh side of 8 to 10 people per row and everyone uh except us was talking and using their phone for minute one onward and I could see this coming from I saw Bose afraid last week at the
Starting point is 00:18:15 Elimo and I knew for a fact that there was going to be some miserable experiences because the audience really needs to pay attention and they're not going to do it. I think this is going to just have to be something you get used to with Arioster movies. They're just going to like I remember even hereditary. There's like these people
Starting point is 00:18:32 who just would not accept it like and in Bo's afraid I saw it this weekend as well. I enjoyed it for the most part and I had people like what the fuck? Yep. I mean I don't mind the what's the fuck or whatever, but like... Pretty audible.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Very audible. Not just whispering. Very, they were like three or four rows back. And also like being on the phone is shitty. I had a bet. It's funny you saw, um,
Starting point is 00:18:59 Bo at the Alamo Steve because that's where I saw Hereditary and it's still the only time I've seen that movie. And it's why I think I'm kind of like still just whatever about it was my experience was fucking horrible between all the fucking plate clangin and the silverware jangling. dude, but this isn't really a horror movie so that changes the dynamic attached to the horror. Anyways.
Starting point is 00:19:22 I just think also if I was smelling chicken wings during that movie, I wouldn't have liked it as much as I did. The guy next to me was going snack crazy. Oh, good for him. He had the popcorn of pizza. Did he put the popcorn
Starting point is 00:19:37 on the pizza? No. Now I really want to try that. Oh, I'm sure it's terrible. This is sadly nothing new nor is a special issue. However, of this movie for the first hour gave me such anxiety that I eventually decided we have to move to a different spot in the theater. I could not stand
Starting point is 00:19:53 sitting there for another two plus hours. This was not an instance where I asked anyone to please be quiet or put away their phones because it was the entire row of people. Far too shy to usually do that anyways and some people really don't take kindly to be reminded there in public
Starting point is 00:20:09 and to be considered to others around them. It is a risk. It's total risk. Always a risk. I'm always I'm kind of surprised we didn't get a scene like this in Bo as a phrase. Going to a movie theater and everybody's talking and using a phone all
Starting point is 00:20:23 at all time very loudly and like bullying him. I kind of want, yeah, like a couple of shorts from Arioster. I don't think this movie's going to take off financially. Again, I really like it. But like Bo goes to the movies. Bo goes to a restaurant, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:20:39 Here's what it is. Okay. It's all under the umbrella of like Bo is bothered. And it's just like all these places where he's just being fucked with repeatedly. Ooh, sweet day I would watch that. Far too shy, do that anyway, blah, blah, blah. The rest of the time, the rest of our time with theater was fine, so I know I made the right choice. However, our first Ariasra experience, Hereditary was far worse.
Starting point is 00:21:04 It was a nearly full theater with a lot of audience being teenagers who I think you expected your run-over-the-mill horror movie. Sometime around the halfway part of the runtime, large groups of the audience began to turn. on the movie laughing at everything untextually funny and awkward moment. Making rude comments about things that were happening in the movie. Oh, wow. Rude.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Oh, Gabriel Byr, but you're Toasty. A man lost his life. Warming there. And Down's apartment sucks. Toasty! Da-da-da-da. I mean, rude comments with things happening in the movie. And the most prevalent was
Starting point is 00:21:45 when people began making the clicking noise of their mouth like the characters you're doing in the movie. That's kind of tough. That's kind of tough. I could only roll my eyes so much of the immature comments and about people being naked and
Starting point is 00:21:59 an R. Aster movie. Somehow I made it through to the end and left the theater overhearing all the wannabe critics talking about how much they hated it. I still ended up liking the movie and want to see it again just so I can hopefully watch it with a better audience. I don't recall anyone asked us in the past, but do you have any
Starting point is 00:22:15 instances where you recall the audience turned on the movie you were watching, forcing you enjoy comments and razzing while possibly ruining the movie while you wanted everyone to just quietly sit down and enjoy. Thanks guys. I appreciate all the laughs and keep up the great work. Corey from Seattle Washington, I do hope, I really hope
Starting point is 00:22:31 you guys make it out over here this someday. Us too dude. Just I'm just we're trying. You're mayor or governor doesn't want us to play there. So write your local officials. But I haven't, I have one for this. I saw Mother the Darren Arna movie. Oh, boy. Audience completely turned on it.
Starting point is 00:22:49 It wasn't a lot of people. I was actually enjoying it and I still remember liking the movie. I have not gone back to it. But it was so bad, the audience turned on it so bad that when I was leaving the theater, some dudes were stopping. That movie was terrible, right? I was like,
Starting point is 00:23:05 oh my God. Do I do it? Do I go to jail? Hey, you liked it. Get him. It was weird. They were like basically a costing me. Dude, because this is what I would have done, dude,
Starting point is 00:23:18 I would have been like, yeah, fucking suck. Just to like get out of there. Oh, sure. Yeah. I agree to everything.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Strangers, I just lied to blanket. Oh, absolutely. You got that right. Yeah, sure, man. Can I go?
Starting point is 00:23:31 Can I go please, man? Please, leave me alone. It was terrifying. But yeah, but. Is this scenario count
Starting point is 00:23:36 if you instigated said theater turned? If you had John Wilkes booth of the whole thing? No, no no no no when we cabin you i think we're there for this when we saw a fucking a i at the old multiplex oh yeah this is brutal this was real bad uh it was a thing where it was the like night before screening um like staff only kind of uh what we call oh we call them rundowns like you ran
Starting point is 00:24:03 the projector uh the film through the projector the speleberg movie yes yes yeah not what you use for art young people no AI artificial intelligence directed by stephen spilberg and so i just we wound up bringing like a lot of people into this theater way more than was like appropriate for a staff screening and it was just like the vibe was wild as it was and like I don't know if it was like something in the trailers kind of set me off but I just got in a silly mood and like I was heckling that movie and the whole fucking theater kind of turned on it to this day I've never actually seen it outside of that screening but there was just something about it dude I just was not having it I wasn't having it the bear. I wasn't having Haley Joel. It just was not great. I've gone back to it and I really love that movie but I remember being in a theater I mean you're with it was with like
Starting point is 00:24:54 eight of our friends and like we just wanted to fuck around and have fun like I wasn't I wasn't there to like really ponder this movie but one of our friends was a massive Spielberg hand and was so excited for the new Spielberg movie and he was a for human
Starting point is 00:25:10 that we wouldn't do it he wasn't thrilled He was a man out. I'm trying to remember. I definitely. Oh, so when I saw crimes of the future, I,
Starting point is 00:25:22 this wasn't a full audience turn, but I guess it was because it was only me and one other guy. Well, so he didn't like it. And he, this is what, so it starts. And like,
Starting point is 00:25:33 I mean, anybody who's seen it knows it is not a normal, nor anything, it's pretty out there. Very difficult start to a movie. Sure. Sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:42 And, uh, he starts sighing very loudly. And I'm telling you by the end of it, I'm pretty sure that fucker had brought a microphone in and had like a little amp next to him. Because this thing, he was like, ah!
Starting point is 00:26:01 Are you sure he wasn't just coming or something? No, I would have. There was no cleanup needed. So it was just dramatic sighing? Just dramatic sighing throughout. Escalated? every, I mean, it hit a plateau around the midpoint, but then like when it gets to the end and like the assassinations are happening and all that stuff, that's like he would just start groaning. Like it was. Oh, man. It was horrible. That's about you, pal. Did he know that you were in the theater, Chris? Like, oh, for sure. He was all away and back. I was like, I was three rows back. You should have walked up and punched him in the bag of the head. I'm going to combine. I'm going to combine. Eric and Chris's stories
Starting point is 00:26:43 with a very sad story of my own which is when I saw a barbarian middle of the day and that movie didn't do terrific numbers anyway but like I was it was just me and another guy total opposite ends of a huge huge theater
Starting point is 00:27:00 I think we were at the Regal Union Square but you know one of those just the two of us and watching the movie and like awesome movie right and like I kind of on the way out was kind of hoping he and I would get into it a little bit
Starting point is 00:27:16 like so what do you think and he just got to ice me and walked right out I was like ah oh my god when I saw Barbarian a guy walked in like 30 minutes into the movie he never even got to see the Bill Scars guard stuff or whatever
Starting point is 00:27:32 oh yeah that's ridiculous of course the flashlight on where's my sheet of this empty theater and then when the end credits hit he started yelling that the movie was too short and usually movies are longer and I was tempted to like weigh in on this and be like you came in and lay
Starting point is 00:27:50 I just left yeah it's ridiculous because now we all know you have a 25 minute fucking fluffer because if you don't care about the trailers at this point like most people don't you have 25 minutes from the start time of the movie
Starting point is 00:28:07 to get to your seat that is an extra 30 minutes essentially to get where you need to go. And that's like, you, you have no more excuses. It can't be, you cannot add any more to this fucking pre-show for the fucking, it's just too much. This is a signed seats. You know, you're like, oh, I'll just go in whenever. Let me just, just ruin it for everyone else here because I got my ticket. Eric, sure. I'm sure, yes, that does take the load off of having to show up early. But that does not explain the people that come in 30 minutes late to a movie and sit there or like
Starting point is 00:28:40 Happens all the time When I saw inside Oh yeah I'm not saying it doesn't Like when I saw inside it fucking happened Like Defoe was like Way into going crazy already And like this old couple came in

Starting point is 00:33:15 Theater Rampage. Sounds like me and the, this is going to be my crimes of the future. It is. I got your minority report. When the last Jedi came out, I wasn't expecting to be able to see an opening day because of, uh,
Starting point is 00:33:28 because my wife had, um, a late night of work, but, but it got canceled. So I quickly bought the only not, sold out showing near us that night. If your work gets canceled, like,
Starting point is 00:33:39 so did she get fired so you can go see Star Wars? I was kind of wondering that what I read it originally. Probably the service industry. Somebody's like, hey, you don't have to show up because. Oh, that kind of, yeah. Or snow day or something. Sure. Somebody left, somebody at the altar. Yeah. No need
Starting point is 00:33:55 for you to perform in this marriage. We get to the movie and it is obviously packed to the gills. I don't remember all the trailers that pursued the film, but I remember the first one, Rampage. Wow. Speaking of which timely. We'll be dropping an episode on that
Starting point is 00:34:11 in just a few hours. That's right. That's right. That's coming quickly to you into your ears. Now, they say the trailer for rampage which featured the Smashing Pumpkin song Bullet with Butterfly Wings.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Terrible needle drop. They've done that now like three times to trailers, but that was the first one I remember. When it was it actually the song or was it like, it's a real one it's the real one the last the recent ones are that was a was it was a tiny British ghost singing it
Starting point is 00:34:44 yeah exactly those covers man are weird help me I've been stuck inside this music box for a hundred years oh yeah when they get some classical string people to like the bass themselves playing garbage pop from yesterday all the all the spirits from the haunting
Starting point is 00:35:02 doing the soundtrack for all the movies now. So the trailer and song finishes, I turn to my wife and say, that's so stupid, I can't wait to see it. Her eyes roll back so far into her head, she looked possessed. That's awesome. Everything is fine until we get to the Mazz
Starting point is 00:35:17 Skype call. I think this is the part of the Last Jedi where where, uh, what was Mazz? She calls someone. Yeah. And you see, like she's working out a trade dispute. Yeah. She pops up in like, oh, sorry, I can't be in the movie, but I know I'm going to be another subsequent
Starting point is 00:35:34 I was the one who flirted with Chewbacca. Remember me? Hi. I'll see you in the next movie. Oh, I guess not really. Anyway, bye. I'm looking at a Nyango. Did you know that? And those beautiful women in the world in the world, they turned me into a fucking little turd. I've been not been in for Academy Awards and films that I've been in.
Starting point is 00:35:52 And they decided to hide me in the drywall of this fucking movie. Anyway, the movie freezes. Someone gets the manager who tells us they have to restart it and they'll fast forward to the spot where the movie froze. We then watch. Oh, fast forward. We'll get back to it.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Brave new world, man. We then watch the rampage trailer again. And then it restarts and we watch the rampage trailer again and then again. Oh, yes. And then again.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Finally, as a manager comes out and says they can't fast forward to film. Whoa. The machine's broken, Mr. Terwilliger. We can't get the movie out. They say in
Starting point is 00:36:35 the letter that they watched it six or seven times can even stand it. Movie stuck. Stuck in the bud. This is the problem with these fucking multiplexes, man, that have like these so-called manager operators where like some
Starting point is 00:36:51 person who's responsible for like popcorn shit and refunding someone's ticket and dealing with a customer dispute or whatever is also responsible for starting shit in the projection booth. at least scheduling these like playlists of trailers and then like
Starting point is 00:37:07 the feature files to play on a you know a timed playlist kind of a thing but like these people don't know anything about projection and so when it comes to shit like this you are S.O.L. But you know the cool thing is that whole sacrificing that job and having someone who would have like a life with dignity
Starting point is 00:37:25 doing good work. Actually without that big regal got 48 cents more last year. So that's that's the important thing. You know what I mean? I mean, like, why do we need more people to have more jobs? But how many projectors were ruined by getting butter in there? I dropped another skittal. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Yep, exactly, dude. Oh, soda syrup's all in it. Uh-oh. The letter does go on to say they watched it six or seven times during the process, felt like stinging in hell or being brainwashed out of clockwork orange. Anyway, we finally get past the Skype call, and five minutes later, the movie stops and the lights come on. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Manager comes out and says they're canceling our showing because it would interfere with the next start time. They give us vouchers for free tickets at any regal which we use the next day or rampage.
Starting point is 00:38:16 There's a rampage tickets. Here's your complimentary ticket to see the rampage trailer again on the big screen. No, not your Star Wars movie. No, sir.
Starting point is 00:38:26 So to this day, whenever I hear that song or hear that movie get mentioned, I legitimately get flashbacks to the worst theater experience of my life. hope you will enjoy that another flashback tonight when that movie uh that episode comes out yes Evan from orange county california who cannot wait to see us in los angeles what a great idea
Starting point is 00:38:47 we're playing the hollywood improv on may 22nd that's very true we're doing the twins uh yeah i've told the force awake story which was where i don't think it was no it wasn't worse because at least it was over at a minute but it's all the anticipation opening day forces Force Awakens, you know, X amount of years since Revenge of the Sith, you know, all the, everyone's super excited. I finally get in my seat. I'm so excited and the fucking fire alarm goes off and there was a fire in the theater I was at. I was like, okay, I guess I'll never see this movie because a lot of showings are sold out. Goodbye, everybody.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Only time the fire alarm went off at a movie for me, I thought it was an amazing thing at first because It was during Castaway when the plane is going down. And I'm like, this sound is great. The plane is going down. It feels like the theater is going down. Everybody asked me to leave. I got like me and stuff got like halfway. We're in Michigan and we went to see Rogue Nation.
Starting point is 00:39:53 And we got halfway through it. And a lightning storm literally like a hit, a thunderstorm hit us. Oh, wow. Oh. And the whole thing shut. down for a minute and like the crowd was so big like it was one of those old little theaters so like
Starting point is 00:40:09 the crowd was just all standing there like and there was this guy in the back just screaming there's more room out of the lobby please come out into the lobby and nobody did it everyone wanted their own seat everybody was worried about what like when we were going to be
Starting point is 00:40:27 loud back in and like I'm being so big back so we come out a little bit and we look out I mean the fucking sky is green yeah so we're like okay so no but also they started and had to restart my screening of the card counter like four times
Starting point is 00:40:42 and it was of all the movies for that to happen with I was like I'm having a more I really like that movie but it's one that's hard to get into so I was like yeah here we go again sort of stop and start like that fucking totally sucks we saw we were at the Kaufman's story one time and we saw
Starting point is 00:41:01 it was either it was one of those rom-com. I think it was that movie Valentine's Day or maybe New Year's Eve. It was one of those things and it totally like froze up or broke or something and we just left. It was like
Starting point is 00:41:16 nah this is fine. We saw enough of whichever holiday movie that was. I think I was with you when we saw my bloody Valentine I feel like. No, no, no. Valentine's Day. Oh, Valentine's Day. Oh, the actual Valentine's Day, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:32 we get the next one here yeah totally I'll do this one and Andrew get there's two images I sent you uh-huh image zero is going to be needed in a little bit yeah oh yeah I got it okay monkey school I've wanted to write in many times
Starting point is 00:41:52 before but since you boys are celebrating April I thought I would share this insane story for years I would tell people about this and they swore I was lying. I went to elementary school in Brooklyn in the 70s. And for at least two to three years when I was in first to third or fourth grade once a year as entertainment, they would bring Mr. Jiggs to our school. I think it was the parent teachers association that sponsored it. Picture this. An auditorium filled with smiling excited children ages five to 12 sitting
Starting point is 00:42:32 as a chimpanzee rode a mini motorcycle around for his grand entrance, roller skated around. That's fucking awesome. Smoked and performed tricks on stage for about an hour. Andrew, do you want to, we can give you a little look at Mr. Jiggs. Yeah, definitely. Wow. Oh, dude. It is Mr. Jiggs.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Oh, that's a bottle of liquor there. What is it? You see that? He's got a fucking sniffterable. You're right, he does have a sniff to keep him calm, I guess. If you were listening to this on audio after the fact on YouTube, you can find this picture in. I mean,
Starting point is 00:43:12 this is worth it. My God, this I want to, my God, I'm so jealous of this experience. Mr. Jake, there he is.
Starting point is 00:43:19 This looks like a wedding from 1964. It does look like a wedding. Someone's going to break it and let and stop it because Kennedy just got shot. I don't know what we're doing. The monkey keeps trying to have fun. People are like, no, no, no, no, Mr. Jigs. The old man, like the old man all the way on the right there. It looks like Joe Pesci with a yama con.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Yes, exactly. Rules. Everybody thinks this is a good thing and everybody wants this until you fucking realize you, you might get Gordy's birthdayed. Exactly. It might have that happen to you one of these days with this. Yeah, but that's fine. That's so sure.
Starting point is 00:43:54 I guess. I find. I get my face eaten by a chimpanzee. You sure. Maybe. only in the 70s would we fill a room would we fill a room with
Starting point is 00:44:06 children and hope a wild full grown chimpanzee wouldn't freak out and kill anyone especially just fucking cocked on all that boozey out of his little set he's got to be fake monkey booze. What do you think that's ice tea? I think it's iced tea or water with
Starting point is 00:44:22 cuckar you're going to get that thing wasted too? I don't know absolutely. Listen man People gave don't Donkeys and dogs beer Time on Millennium People are really irresponsible
Starting point is 00:44:38 Steve. They're, they're pigs. There was never any permission slip sent home or no to parents. Oh no, the buggy's just to cover it. Whether you like it or not, I don't know. Like he just shows up on announced. But it his little shirt and tie there.
Starting point is 00:44:57 The trainer and Jigs. were from New Jersey and performed lots of random events for years. There is a blog I came across when I looked to find info on Mr. Jiggs that tells the sad truth on how they kept him under control. I bet it's the booze. Oh, yeah, a lot. Much worse, probably. Yep, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Which more than mildly sours my memories of these all-school assemblies with the smoking chimp. The 70s, it was a different time. Love the podcast, Nelson. Oh, you know, interesting. Thank you, Nelson. Thank you very much. Well, that makes sense because I live in New Jersey and there is a Mr. Jigs Memorial Expressway.
Starting point is 00:45:36 I never knew what that was. You know, you always want to, you always, you never think of them to look that stuff up, but that's interesting. No, yeah. There's probably, you probably see apes on your commute every day, right? A bunch of empty liquor bottles on that pass on the sidewalk. I mean, it's just, I can't get enough. The poor guy.
Starting point is 00:45:54 He's, you know, he died a horrible death, right? I'm sure he was beaten to death and he was abused but he looks happy in the moment well again probably because he's drunk yeah just like me yeah I think that's what Hollywood land was about was Mr. Jiggs's horrible death that's right because Mr. Jiggs
Starting point is 00:46:12 was like supposed to play Superman and it didn't happen got really depressed Superman meets the first chimpanzee in space mm-hmm oh yeah hello Mr. Jiggs how are you all right I'll do this
Starting point is 00:46:28 I'll do this one I'll do it No what'd you say I said there's two here you can do it This one's very short Oh it's oh I see it's okay Okay so this first one No like actual movies for babies

Starting point is 00:48:38 parenthood. So like pregnancy movies or adoption movies. Oh, well, pornography would be great for the road to parent. That's actually true. That's how it starts. Yeah. You get yourself some like breeder porn. The road to parent is a tunnel, right? goes under the mountain

Starting point is 00:50:09 I think so. I think they're walking around already. But I think there's a long flashback to a very graphic birthing scene, if I'm not mistaken. Got it. Yes. It's much like Stan Brackage's window water baby moves. thing.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Exactly like that. But there's a taradactyl helping. So clearly we were smoking a cigar. Yeah, he's cut the fucking cord. Clearly we were of
Starting point is 00:50:34 no help, by the way. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did. All right. Here. Close out this evening here with a letter
Starting point is 00:50:48 entitled the Full Lobowski. Okay. Hey, gang love the show i'm burning through the back catalog uh the prime feed and on patreon but i just listen to your we love movies episode on the big labowski like andrew that's me it's one of my favorite movies i don't know i've never gone to a quote along or festival i'm nero you can keep that nonsense uh i will be seeing it in theaters on four 20 though i hope people don't ruin it they bet they did they will be absolutely
Starting point is 00:51:21 They did. 420, you're asking for trouble. Walking into a war zone. Yeah, the two things you don't want to see on 420 is the big Labaski and downfall. Because the audiences will be shit. Let's see. My boss is also a huge fan. I work at a craft beer bar in Arizona. That's fucking awesome. And my boss has done collaboration beers with local breweries over the years. Every time themed after the dude and his adventures. We had one hell of a Caucasian, the physical act of love, rolling on Shabbas, what day is it? And St. Fudd, the name is an acronym for shut the fuck up, Donnie. I like that. I wish I knew what some of these beers were, by the way. He did send an image.
Starting point is 00:52:12 The other image I sent you, Andrew, is a picture of some of these. Oh, I see. Oh, there's the what is it? What day is it? I like that. That's cool. Doomstone brewing. shout out. What do you want on your tombstone, right? A fucking ice cold beer. Dude, pizza. Pizza beer.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Let's combine them. Cut out. Pizza and beer anyway. Cut out the middle man and just give me pizza beer. Yeah, there we go. A little marinera in your blogger. Like, come on. Like, let's quit fucking around.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Just give me pizza beer, all right? Just give me my dinner in a bag and get it over with, okay? I stop holding guns. each other's heads. Let's just put on a tuxedo and get a fork and a knife. No, just give my dino in a bag and get it off. Tuxedos. Tuxedos.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Yeah, Mr. Jiggs would love pizza beer. Oh, I bet Mr. Jiggs had a lot of pizza and plenty of beer. He was from New Jersey. There's two things they do. Yep. Uh, let's see. Anyway, I first watched Big Lobowski Circa, 2004 when I was 18. a friend asked if I'd ever seen it and I said no insisting it looked stupid
Starting point is 00:53:25 but almost as soon as we started watching it I realized that I had it confused with another movie entirely that had come out somewhat around the same time the full Monty I mean there's a fat guy in that movie I guess mid to late 90s like indie movies it was or indie coded movies Big Lobowski and then the full Monty. Man, the full Monty was a force, a cultural force. It was. Oh, it absolutely was. It was very British also. So that doubles the confusion. Oh, yeah. I knocked it down a few points for that. Lose a half star there, did it? I mean, I wasn't like a huge, I mean, I'm not the target audience for Full Monty. I was not that blown away by it when it came out. Well, he's taking Robert Carlyle, who was the lead in that. He did take he was one of the leads of one of the
Starting point is 00:54:19 Starcate shows. So he's taking American jobs, Eric. American action. I'll give him the past. Honestly, I think I like him in general. I think he's a good stage presence. And yeah, so I that's what we just need a visa process. And I can sign off. You'll be in charge.
Starting point is 00:54:37 You just want to organize. I understand. Yeah. Um, let's see. So bubble blah, blah, blah, blah, confused with the full money. How? I have no fucking clue. Three world. Three word titles. Who knows? I was a stupid baby at the time and the time they were released
Starting point is 00:54:53 12 to 13 years old. Needless to say, I love the Big Lobowski and immediately went out to purchase it on glorious DVD the next day. Do you guys have any stories of films that you ignored for way too long because you thought they were something entirely different
Starting point is 00:55:09 then ended up regretting it? Thanks, keep up the good work. Derek and Tucson PSO I attached the photo of the beer. It was a double IPA. says, they originally did during quarantine for their fifth anniversary
Starting point is 00:55:24 at Tombstone Brewing, folks. There you go. Check it out. So movies you ignored because you thought they were one thing, but you were wrong. I remember people in high school trying to get me into like Argento and Fulci and I'm like, oh, that's going to be a little too
Starting point is 00:55:38 much, maybe. Oh, true. I don't know. But they're good. Yeah. I definitely put off seeing Speed Racer until like
Starting point is 00:55:50 I still haven't by the way which is insane it's a good movie it's it's a bit up should we do it I can watch that commentary maybe first time viewing I never saw it either

Starting point is 00:56:08 double boys or you know getting ready for the dirty double you too I and my wife too both really never wanted to watch Slumber Party Massacre because I just
Starting point is 00:56:20 sort of assumed, you know, it was going to be just what it is and that movie is just much smarter and more subversive and just way better than I ever would have given it credit for. I watched it last year when it was on the criterion 80 score
Starting point is 00:56:37 thing. I was like, oh wow, this is amazing. Oh, yeah. Really, really an amazing horror from that period. So there you go. Totally. I feel like I just had one that was like from a recent episode. So I'm like, I'm looking over the back catalog here.
Starting point is 00:56:53 A lot of double boys at the chat by the way, which I'm crazy. Oh, double boys. Double boys. This is why you got to watch on YouTube live so you can join the chat to say double boys. Someone's up there. Someone's doing laundry right now three days from now.

Starting point is 00:59:38 And if you have a ticket for our June 15th show at the State Theater, New Jersey, we will see you there doing the first ever live. We Love Movies. official we love movies episode on the Birdcage. That is a sold out event gang, but that is going to be a lot of fun. So let's see.
Starting point is 00:59:58 Oh, and actually shit, because precious few hours remain. Yes. If you want to catch the replay of this guy, our King Kong live show that we did last Thursday, with included after party, another bonus about an hour of material there, gang. You want to head on over to
Starting point is 01:00:13 Moment.com slash we hate movies. Yeah, we call this Friday. I act out Thursday. I prove that I could play King Kong, Andy Circus style. Yes. Oh, sure. You nailed it, dude. Steve,
Starting point is 01:00:25 Steve shows that he could play Naomi Watts horny. Yeah. So that's it. Earlier. What are these celebrities get the big bucks for when I'm this ugly? It doesn't make any sense. Right? It's an ape. All right. So let's see. I'll start going through
Starting point is 01:00:42 so many double boys. someone is not a question by the way it's not it's an answer it's a fucking period
Starting point is 01:00:53 on Santa Steve here's one that you and I can answer really quickly and the answer will be a little bit of a tease and you'll read the question
Starting point is 01:01:04 and know what I'm talking about right now Andrew what are your thoughts on Picard season three and yes I'm actually I just finished
Starting point is 01:01:12 the seventh episode of seven of ten seven of nine seven of nine, no, seven, or ten. Yeah, you did it. I'm planning on finishing it sometime early next week, in which Andrew and I, and actually, Eric and Chris are also invited, but I don't think they're going to be able to catch up in time,
Starting point is 01:01:29 are invited to talk about, we're going to do a Picard, make it so series finale episode, just talking about that season. And, yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun. I don't want to give, like, you know, too much. away. But I did finish it and I'll tell
Starting point is 01:01:49 you one sort of like teaser thought I guess is that I wanted to rewatch it like immediately. As soon as I knew like where everything landed and whatnot, I was just kind of ready to go back and rewatch it all. I was trying to find the Picard show
Starting point is 01:02:05 graphic but I can't but yes it will be making it so series finale. We didn't do that second season. I will provide a little bit of a previously just to kind of get a through that. But yeah, that's going to be fun. So look out for that coming soon. So let's
Starting point is 01:02:21 see here. Oh, here's an interesting one. Daniel asks, are there any stereotypical New York tourist things that we've never done and or will never do in your life living in the city? I think it's most
Starting point is 01:02:37 honestly. I have a fairly ill-traveled New Yorker. I've done the Statue of Liberty. I've never I did that. I've never been inside. the Empire State building and I have never been inside the Freedom Tower because I feel like that
Starting point is 01:02:53 I feel like when I go in that's the day they take it back. Right. Yeah, no that's that's one that I kind of have no interest in. See, Steve, it's either that or then you've got ghosts following your home and you're like Yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't been in there either. That's what I have
Starting point is 01:03:09 I have not done that. No, I haven't done much of anything. Yeah, it's kind of weird enough being in the Oculus like the mall area. That's like plenty for me. Yeah, but I don't know. I've, you know, ridden the Staten Island ferry,
Starting point is 01:03:23 did a boat around Manhattan Island. The big delis I've been to, like, I'm trying to go to that. Well, food related ones. Carnegie Cats is, well,
Starting point is 01:03:32 Carnegie isn't there anymore, right? I know, I don't think. I think a lot of those Midtown. Cats is still there. Cats is still around. Cats is worth worth going to you,
Starting point is 01:03:40 I think. Really fucking good. Yeah, that's like a real thing. Sorley's not great. It's worth it once. It's worth it once. You go in. You have one tiny mug of beer and you leave immediately. Like you don't stay a whole night because that shit. Like I'm never just going to be like, hey guys, want to go get a drink at McSorley? Like that's like, why would you? Absolutely not. You can't spend more than fucking 10 minutes in that place.
Starting point is 01:04:07 All right. Let's see here. Oh, this is interesting. asks, what's the scariest movie you've ever seen? This is a prudor film. I saw that gentleman. Especially thinking about it, you know, when it happened, like, that was a scary day. Sure was, Eric.
Starting point is 01:04:30 President Kennedy has been shot, it's a very scary day here. I spilled my popcorn all over the floor. I have the oogie bogeys. I'm all scared now. Just a day and I spilled my popcorn on my pizza. Will it be good? Kennedy's
Starting point is 01:04:46 dead. We're doing a taste testing later. I don't hold the popcorn into the pizza and eat it on live TV. Probably not the scariest movie I've seen but the scariest I've been in a movie was when we saw The Strangers, it kind of goes back to our friend from Boas Afraid as well. I was sitting there
Starting point is 01:05:02 it wasn't an empty theater. It's like, you know, half full, but like I had two buddies behind me and I was so scared shitless during the entirety of the strangers that I was like, you know I'm getting up. If somebody like pokes me, I am going to shriek.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Oh, wow. Like you would never hear a person shriek. Like a small child. Yeah, I was like, you know, let me just have everyone in my field of vision and I can control what's going on here. I would probably say, I mean, the, my two serious answers are inside the French movie inside, which is a nightmare. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:38 And I, my wife tells the story. I came in just like shaking after. seeing the act of killing. I like, that fucking movie absolutely wiped me. I was just like, well, okay, I don't know if any of this is worth it anymore. Yeah, she will tell that story often is that I was just like, clearly just
Starting point is 01:05:58 shaken up after seeing that movie. That's a very disturbing movie. I mean, that's sort of like a similar, like, that's like a night and fog kind of scary, I guess. But I would say like horror movie's scary, fun scary. The first time I ever saw Peter Meadex, the Changeling,
Starting point is 01:06:14 I was shit scared watching that movie, rented it on VHS from Blockbuster, had no idea what it was about. It was literally the poster art with the fucking eerie wheelchair. Shit fucking scared watching the change. Yeah, it's a creepy one. Here's a question I think is interesting.
Starting point is 01:06:31 When are we getting a We 8 movies Lights Camber Jackson collaboration episode? Oh, okay. Long overdue since we're all from, we're being, well, he's from our area. Is it? Well, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:42 I'm saying we're never going to do it. Oh, we aren't? He blocked me on Twitter. Oh, of course. I can't read the great literature coming from, or what reviews, reviews. Me and Andrew will do a year of 2023 wrap up. We'll do it for the Times Union. We'll do a video special with Lice Cameron Jackson.
Starting point is 01:07:03 It'll be a lot of be fun. He's just a guy that likes movies. He loves them. He also attended a Trump rally once. Oh, did he? Forget about that. I don't remember that. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:16 That's, I think that's why he blocked me. I think I made fun of him. He, like, called Amy Schumer a prostitute or something. Yeah, he was like, awkward. Like, she made some fucking comment to her on like a red carpet or something. And she was like, oh, so I'm a whore or something like that. Like, this kid's real fucking aces, man. Well, yeah, I mean, nothing beats.
Starting point is 01:07:36 If you have, it's absolutely the stupidest thing you've ever seen. His book Smart Review is just the worst thing, period. that's not shocking here uh i'm just climbing through the chat here um find a couple more cues because a lot of people okay so well let's see well someone did ask what we thought of this season of the mandolarian and uh there's a good place to go to find that out it's patreon we have a the mandolary and a half hour side show which is actually the mandolary an hour yeah who's who's shit and who here yeah we recapped every single episode every single episode every single episode all every season of Mando
Starting point is 01:08:15 Book of Boba Fed, Obi-Wan we've done episodes on all of them so you could find them on the Patreon. Yeah. All right, so this is, I don't know if we're going to be able to answer this one. It'll be real brain racking, memory racking here.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Kevin asks, what's the first VHS or DVD we ever bought? I know I got two DVDs at the same time. Oh, yeah, you did. did I. I'll tell my twins next. Mine was South Park and being John Malcovich. Wow. Nice.
Starting point is 01:08:49 Mine was pie and Army of Darkness bootleg edition. Ooh. Man, mine, I fuck, I have nothing on either of them. My memory is garbage. I can't remember VHS. I'm trying to think.
Starting point is 01:09:03 My parents would buy the, you know, when we were young and I don't really remember what what was the first one that I maybe predator or something. Yeah. Wow. I think it was the hunt for Red October I don't think I ever bought I don't know if I ever purchased a VHS tape
Starting point is 01:09:21 I think it was always like getting gifts and stuff DVDs I was buying because I didn't have money on my own to buy stuff back then but when I started working half of it went to Best Buy that's how that worked yeah like by the time I had like money of my own it was DVDs all the time I mean I remember when we got our first DVD player
Starting point is 01:09:40 it came with a thing that was like oh it's like a coupon for five free DVDs or something like that and it was like so like in that sense our first DVDs in the house it was weird it was like of course fucking Shrek the second Austin Powers nice I want to say that shagged me
Starting point is 01:10:00 spy who shagged me that's right bangers all shit there was like a couple more what lies beneath maybe it was one just a real fucking loser I've been shagged Yeah. I do recall actually the first memory I have of buying a DVD on my own in a store, I went to a coconuts and bought the DVD box set of Nightmare and Elm Street. Oh, nice. Yeah. Very nice. Oh, yeah. What do we think? One more. Try to find one more. Do one more. Oh, here's an interesting one. What's the favorite movie released the year we were born? This is, this is terrifying to date us. This is a trap. Yeah, he's like, oh, what's, what's your favorite iteration of the last four digits
Starting point is 01:10:47 through your social security, though? Right. This is also just a cruel jap, a taunt that I'm turning 40 and Return of the Jedi came out 40 years. Yeah, you jinxed me, dude. It's going to be return of the Jedi as well for me. I'm also from 83. I'll be turning 40 later than you, though, motherfucker.
Starting point is 01:11:04 How about that? Congrats. Well, Mr. 39 in a few weeks will answer. Fucking new young gun. look at this little boy let me see I got to check mine here because I do have of course my list cabin I think Dune was
Starting point is 01:11:22 83 dude 83 is of course video Oh that's a great one You know actually here's a thought To Ed Donne I was at the Alamo I think it was one we were seeing Bo as afraid It was like stoner classics coming to the Alamo and it was This is the wrong thing to play in front of Bo's afraid
Starting point is 01:11:39 Durn out Bob not a stoner movie No but it was like oh yeah it was like a lot of days to do confused footage. I think maybe they had a film Bill and Ted was involved. Oh, okay. And then all of a sudden, video drone was there
Starting point is 01:11:55 and I'm like, wait, what? And it's like, 420, man, here it comes. The last clip, I guess to pull it all together is James Woods asking some other guy in a video drone like, hey, have you been hallucinating? And he's like, no, should I
Starting point is 01:12:11 be? And like, that's how they tied it together, but like, those aren't exactly the right hallucination. Even I don't think I would watch videodrome high. That seems like not. For what? Do you fucking miserable the whole time? Like for high movies, 1983, of course you go with the right
Starting point is 01:12:29 stuff. Yes. Chris, remember that time you and I watched God, uh, fuck the Ken Russell movie. It is similar to, no. I've seen that one. The monkey man is. altered states
Starting point is 01:12:44 altered states we smoked or we took edibles yes and watched altered states and when we when I tell you we both melted into the couch
Starting point is 01:12:55 in the worst ways possible we thought we turned it apes it was just like this is not okay why is it still happening this is not okay we're in the tank we're in the tank now
Starting point is 01:13:07 we're always going to be at the tank I think I remember getting home and seeing you guys like midstream stream it was a rough night dude it really was it was like oh this will be fun because it's like a drug movie similar sure yeah and it kind of teases you oh yeah yeah yeah yeah ken russell's amazing but it is a bit of a tease steve because one of the things i remember most about that movie has nothing to do with any of the fucking sensory depth tank yeah it's at the beginning of the movie when they're having that
Starting point is 01:13:39 party and Bob Balaband's just walking around cool as fuck just casually smoking that Jay in the apartment 1970s man it's a brilliant moment in that movie but that is going to do it for this addition to the mailbag gang remember of course moment.com
