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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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
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?
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
the fun doesn't stop just with internet live shows is that correct no no these are the now the ones
i'm about to talk about you are not allowed to masturbate at at all so get that done a
It's a jerk in a flick-free zone.
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.
Wow.
I've gotten away with it a lot.
We are going to the West.
We are going to the West Coast.
Yes, indeed.
Just actually less than three weeks, three weeks from like Thursday, actually.
I'm in a three-a-half weeks.
Holy shit.
On May 18th, we're going to be at Cobbs.
comedy club talking about Star
Trek 4. The
Voyage show, thankfully that's on the title
card. Oh, that slip your mind.
It's the Star Trek 4, there's
something or other.
To play at home. By the way, can I see that one more
time? That's an amazing Philippe's Aura tour.
Oh, yeah. Yes. Yes, it's also
a reveal of Philippe's art here.
That's right. This is the debut.
At the end,
because what you're going to see, folks, is just
like these pieces, and then at the
end, I'm going to show you the full
poster. The whole McGillah. So who's the voyage home, by the way? Because the whales aren't
from the future and we're taking them to the future. They have to go. 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.
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.
That's right.
Los Angeles, May 22nd, we'll be talking about twins at the Hollywood Improv.
There it is.
Look at those sunglasses.
on those handsome goopy gentlemen.
Donnie. Come to L.A.
See the sides. Maybe we'll eat a hot dog and match clothing at every moment we can.
Now, we should say for this one, gang, low ticket alert for this one.
So if you're thinking of coming, you know, from parts yonder or if you're in L.A.
and you're still sleeping on getting them ticks, get them ticks.
Jump on it.
That's right.
now June 15th
we will be back east of course
doing a really cool thing
at the state theater New Jersey
it's going to be a we love movies episode
all about the bird cage
and what what's that
I'm just getting something in from the desk here guys
hang on oh shit oh my god
no no that dude's not on TV anymore
no actually
something about an updated graphic for this one
because I mean I think Philippe's
art is amazing. But they're saying here's an updated graphics. So hang on. Let me load that in.
Oh, that's, oh, that's what that is. It's going to be a great show, but you'll never know it.
Sold out. 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.
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
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
rock. Blow job.
Just cut
send real quick it's a fight club thing
a blow job
here is
the full poster

something else from the internet
ticker with that so the the web store is doing
a sale Wednesday through Sunday
classic T's 16 bucks
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
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
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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,
I would have been like,
yeah,
fucking suck.
Just to like get out of there.
Oh,
sure.
Yeah.
I agree to everything.
Strangers,
I just lied to blanket.
Oh,
absolutely.
You got that right.
Yeah,
sure, man.
Can I go?
Can I go please,
man?
Please,
leave me alone.
It was terrifying.
But yeah,
but.
Is this scenario count
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
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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!
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Just sat down and I was like
Even if you don't know what time it is
How can you not understand
That clearly the story is in motion
Where am I?
Yeah like oh what is he doing?
I said inside
I thought I was going home.
It just, you know, and similarly with Barbarian, you have to get a vibe.
Even though like it does kind of, you know, cut off and become something different.
Like, you have to be like, I think this movie's been playing for a little.
Yes, exactly.
This is not just started.
The switchups are important.

This week's episode is brought to you by Tushy.
Now, listeners, spring has awoken, and that means it's time to clean.
Sure, you should take a look at your closet that's doubling as an ant colony and maybe take a look at what that pulsating thing underneath your couch is.
You know what else needs a fresh spring cleaning?
That's right, I'm talking about your Xander Berkeley.
Every day, people use rolls of wasteful toilet paper to wipe their zan,
Xander Berkeley's. No more, I say. It's time for everyone to switch to the sustainable Hello
Tushy Biday, which gets your Zander Berkeley twice as sparkly clean while simultaneously cleaning up
your impact on the planet. Now, folks, Tushy was nice enough to send me one of their bidets, and while
my learned and cultured wife has long preferred cleaning her Zander Berkeley with the bidet,
I am a convert to the experience. I was hesitant to give up my handy roll of toilet paper,
But I have to admit that it barely took 24 hours of cleaning my Xander Berkeley with the Hello Tushy Biday to make me set fire to my shed full of emergency toilet paper.
It cleans better and it allows you to be environmentally responsible literally while you're going to the bath.
The Hello Tushy Biday cleans your Zander Berkeley better than wiping while also preventing poop particles from spreading to your hand and from there onto everything you touch.
The bidet attaches to your existing toilet and requires no electricity or plumbing to install.
It cuts toilet paper used by 80% and pays for itself within a few months.
And don't forget the hello-tushy bidet attachment comes with a 60-day risk-free guarantee and a 12-month warranty.
There's no reason not to give it a try and give your Xander Berkeley a real upgrade.
With over 100,000 5-star reviews, CY millions of people.
already love Hello Tushy and be a part of taking care of business the cleaner way.

Your Xander Berkeley will thank you.
Um, should we get on to another one?
Yes.
Eric,
you want to take this one?
I will take this one.
Theater.
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,
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,
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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,
this is worth it.
My God,
this I want to,
my God,
I'm so jealous of this experience.
Mr.
Jake,
there he is.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
Hello WHM long time
First time my husband and I are fans
We both listen to everything
He digs the next is well I prefer Melro 210
That sounds like a great couple to me
Yeah definitely if you see them
across the bar say you like their vibe.
Speaking of seeing someone across the bar, our favorite
Eps are every which way but loose.
And Shrek.
The across the bar thing was just for that first movie.
I see.
Yeah. We're thrilled
to be expecting our first baby girl this
summer. Well, hey, congratulations.
Congratulations.
Can you recommend any good or bad movies
about the Road to Parenthood? Thanks,
Kristen in the
Pacific Northwest. Well, you want to ask
for guys that don't have children at all. That's
where you want to start. I figured
this was going to happen, so I made a
quick list. I got it separated.
Patton. It starts,
that's a good one, definitely.
The baby will cry through it, but you'll watch a movie.
And you'll learn how to
lead a nation like a child. You have to lead them.
Here's for the mothers. I'll start off quick,
the Babaduke.
Mommy dearest.
a serial mom
oh yes precious
the Manchurian candidate
uh carry
and home alone of course you want to go big
uh also for the dads
you want to want to see Ad Astra
there will be blood
of course a classic frailty
and other class yeah I like
the squid in the whale
of course a very
the safti brothers
daddy long legs
the wrestler by Darren Aronofsky
some real classic
of the four. I feel like you watch Prince of Tides
for both, you know what I mean?
Everybody will just enjoy that.
Watch sleepers as well.
You know what? But these are all like
you know, after
the kid is a kid. They're also
asking here about like the road to
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
it's true
so Steve I do know
for Rota Parenting I know you are a huge
fan of Sam Mendez's
Away We Go
No it's called
That movie
Super sucks
Not good
It's the hardest I've ever laughed at anything
is what Melanie Linsky
is doing
a strip tease and it's like
And then Christmas Sina just goes up
to Jim
from the office
just unprompted
she had another
miscarriage last week
and I was like what
no
no
come on movie
I was doing
to Cape Fear laugh
but at that
yeah I don't
I don't know
the answer is I don't know
she's having a baby
would be one
junior is also
baby stay out
yes
Eastern promises
of course
it's kind of a bump
in the road
that happens there
Jersey skull
almost his finest hour.
In that first Flintstones movie,
do you see them having Pebbles and Bam Bam or do they already exist in the world?
Oh, geez, Betty.
A bunch of rocks came out of you.
Shall we name them?
I think it's like an app.
I think they already exist.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
much, maybe.
Oh, true.
I don't know.
But they're good.
Yeah.
I definitely
put off seeing Speed Racer
until like
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
so yeah
that would be fun
double boys
double boys
oh yeah
double boys
let's get it go in the chat
double boys
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
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
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.
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.
God damn, I can't write in double boys.
No! It's fun
to be live.
You got double boys.
I am trying to think of one
and honestly I can't
I'm sure I had one
They take you by surprise the movies do
Yeah no totally
You know what
As soon as we fucking sign off this broadcast
I'm gonna be like
You'll remember there it is
You want to do a couple of questions
From the nice people here
Sure sure
The nice people

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.
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
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,
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
so many
double boys.
someone
is not a question
by the way
it's not
it's an answer
it's a fucking period
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
