This week on the program, it's a movie about a grown man who should be nowhere near a child.
It's Bushwhacked. I'm Andrew Jupin.
Steven Siddak. Eric Siska. Chris Cabin.
And this is We Hate Movies Episode 700.
Hello, everyone, welcome to the fine program, as always. Thank you for tuning in. That's right. Seven hondo, guys, if you can even believe it.
And we had to celebrate by doing a
classic cult comedy
that no one is talking about anymore
and we love it.
What are you talking about?
Eric,
this is 700 on the AFI
best comedies list.
It should be.
This is number 700.
That's what they linked up.
Oh,
there was only 700 comedies ever made.
Okay, got it.
Yeah, exactly.
So they got back right to the bottom.
You know, what's funny is we've talked
about this movie.
I think me and Chris may be referenced
it here and there on the show for years.
Yeah.
I've had people at live
shows multiple cities come up to me and ask when are we getting an episode on bushwhacked dude i've
had it i've had people ask me in person to meet and greets about bushwhacked i've had my own
younger sister who i am personally dedicating this episode to ask me when are you doing bushwack
when with the bushwhack when will the bushwhacked episode have it's here 700 i have never
seen bushwhack before this and uh you know i will say a little more fun than i thought it would be
to be quite honest yeah see there you go
it's from a 1995
directed by Greg Beeman. Now check this guy
out. He works a ton in TV these days.
It's the B-man. B-man. Hey, B-man.
But also the director of motion
pictures like Problem Child
3. Okay.
Mom and dad save the world.
Oh, yeah. The two Corey's in
License to Drive. Nice.
Let's drive is a stay tuned for sure.
It is definitely a stay tuned. I kind of
enjoy watching it. Maybe that's
nostalgia. I mean, this is
this is quite a filmography that sent him straight
into the television industry ever since.
Yeah, you're out of movies, B-Man.
Don't worry about that.
But I guarantee you, you go to the B-Man estate,
it's pretty nice.
Like, it's got a couple of bathrooms,
couple of bedrooms, a couple of pools.
Oh, the B-Man's got a couple of bathrooms, dude.
Don't worry about that.
He is still working.
He's working on that.
It's Murda Murders, this lifetime
miniseries with Bill Pullman, so he is still working.
But Eric, don't, don't cheapen the man.
He's been working on his passion project for many years,
a six-hour biopic of Benito Mussolini called The Bull.
No, he's not.
No, he has not.
Absolutely.
No, this guy doesn't have any ambitions, period.
He's just going to murder all murders.
Well, no, he, dude, you look at the television.
This motherfucker works in directing television.
Absolutely.
Yes.
And that's why Steve is right.
There's two pools.
There's about 16 toilets.
Uh-huh.
dude's doing all right.
And he gave us fucking bushwhacked,
which folks at home,
if you weren't around in the mid-90s,
there was this weird sort of
a trend or like popularity wave
that was going on.
And you won't believe it if I tell you,
but Daniel Stern at the height of his powers
directing and starring in motion pictures,
it was just this weird
because it's like this.
And he directed and also as a supporting role
in Rookie of the Year.
Obviously the Home Alone films,
you know, so like the mid-90s was a great time to be Daniel Stern.
Daniel Stern, I think, is a great talent that was kind of overlooked.
He was just, people just zeroed in on the Home Alone thing.
And this, I guess, conceptually started out as a spin-off of Home Alone of Marv trying
to get his life together and it morphed into what we have here is Bushwacked.
And he plays Max Grabalski, which is finally some decent Polish representation.
I mean, it is accurate, too.
It does feel accurate to the Polish experience.
Oh, it is. Yes. Right. Steve, like don't, Steve, you and I, we're both scumbags and Polish people. Oh, absolutely. We're just walking out leather, leather suit jackets and slick back hair. Oh, man. He just plays. I mean, it's, and here's the thing. Like, I'm sure Daniel Stern, I'd love to meet him. Open invite, obviously, Daniel Stern. Like, he just seems like a really nice guy. But like, he also just plays a scumbag so well. And this Max Grabelsky is Primo grade A scumbes.
and a likable scumbag.
That's hard to do.
That's important.
Yeah.
Well,
and we were allowing it a lot more
in the 90s comedy mode.
Like,
you could be more of a scumbag
and be the hero of your movie,
essentially.
I would have hated the Marv fucking movie.
If this was a spinoff of Homeland,
I would lose my fucking mind.
I will say at the very least,
it would give us a little more idea
as to who Marv Max Gravalski is.
We don't get a lot of it.
Like, really?
I just need to see his shitty apartment.
Maybe he's living at home with his mother.
like something like that
I think I would be like
fleshing out more
just a tie
like a hair
but you know
it starts with staying alive
you see him
on the street
instantly starts grabbing
and rubbing
like scratching his crotch
uh-huh
walking down to this music
going into this deli
and the guy's like
what can I get you
and he's like
two packs of Marlboro
is a pack of snowballs
and a jumbo coke
dude it's that
I feel like
that's why
Steve I think
to your point
Like, yeah, but you can also glean from that snack food, that childish snack food order plus the cigarettes.
Like, he's just a giant child person.
Sure.
And that's definitely living in the garage outside of mom's house or whatever that is.
I think you're totally right.
You know, this movie is like a flat 90.
Sure.
Give me what happens right before the staying alive montage.
You know what I mean?
It's a real like, Biff, when you're coming home kind of relationship.
I just, I graft on the idea.
It's just Sinbad and house guest
Before he becomes the house guest
I assume it's the same kind of life
He also has the potato chip bag that he sleeps in
Some sort of drifter's apartment
Kind of a situation
Absolutely above a tattoo parlor
You know, the good stuff
Sneaks sneaks onto a bus without paying the fare
He knows all the ins and outs
And the grooves of society
And how to flow through them
I really thought he was a low level mafia guy
Just like from the beginning
I'm like oh and then he's gonna
I could see that
It's clean the cut.
He's just a scumbag
who works at a Federal Express
knockoff called Freedom Express.
Yeah, that's what we should have changed
the name to after 9-11.
We had fucking Freedom fries
and we had Freedom Express.
Do we think, here's a question
about Daniel Stewart's career,
is it better or worse
and or could he not have even done it?
If he was the other role
in Dumb and Dumber, if he was the Jeff Daniels' role
in Dumb and Dumber.
Ooh.
Maybe.
Worst movie
First of all
Yeah
Lloyd maybe
Yeah
So he was supposed
Is that true?
No no
I'm just I'm just sort of thinking about
Daniel Stern
What Ifs
That's probably a big one
Yeah
I mean interestingly
You know
Jeff Daniels after that
Really like hammered home
Like the dramatic acting
And like Daniel Stern
A lot of stuff that he's done
More recently
He's done some like television here and there
And things like that shows
I've never ever watched
I don't think
But like
They do kind of lean more dramatic.
I mean, he's like a theater actor, I think, was his like stock and trade pre-chud, of course.
Shud is what really, you know, same him.
Were you guys timing it?
Like, how long before he mentions Chud?
Like, oh, shit, under 10 minutes.
Who had under 10 minutes?
I mean, he plays dads a lot now.
That's his new thing.
The 80 Bryant show.
I'm forgetting the name of it.
Shrill, yes.
Shrill, yes. He's the dad on shrill.
And I mean, it's funny that Home Alone did kind of make him like he had to become kind of a kid's actor.
That's like, right.
Rookie of the Year and this, despite their, you know, the leanings of his characters in both movies, really.
They are for children.
And I think it would have been fun for him to actually be able to grow up and be in like more serious stuff.
Play like a lengthy, not exactly a Chud kind of character.
like, you know, a guy who runs
an AA meeting
or something like that.
He wasn't city slickers, which is more
that's kind of a drama.
An Ingmar Bergman movie. I mean, it's fucking
all that open part with
Yardley Smith there. Yeah, that's a Cass of
Eddie's motion picture. What about
is anyone who seen diner? It always seemed
too boomery for my taste. It's a
super boomer movie. I've seen
diner and it's, it's all right.
Got some fun moments. Yeah.
Yeah. Like every other
Barreth, but I haven't seen.
movie. But it's got quite a cast.
He's, uh, what's that?
There's like that cycling movie that he's
into, I thought. Breaking away?
Yes. That's okay.
He's pretty good in that, but he's very young
and he's very young in that. Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, I guess like the home alone extension
is what like makes this movie exist.
But it's like, and I think
90% of it is false when it is said.
But I think it's very true here with
this movie Bushwack. And I suspect
it might be why here in the prudish states of America
this movie is not on Disney Plus
because this is a it's a 20th century
Fox movie back in 95 so that's
all folded in with Disney now
and like we've heard from like Canadian and
UK friends that they have had bushwhacked
on Disney Plus but this is
indeed a movie that you would not
get made today. A movie where a guy
is around all these children
he's constantly smoking
and like blowing the smoke in their face
and being shitty to children and waving
guns around really smart
they don't touch the third rail here
there is no joke
there's no joke about there's no
people misunderstanding there's no fear
of molestation in this film
that's the third rail the movie knows
it it changes everything
if someone's like what is he
what's you doing with those kids like
that convict for my kids that
if somebody just even calls him a pervert
the whole movie goes off the rails
you know what you're totally right you're totally right
I think that's a lot to do with Daniel Stern's performance, too.
He's very careful to make him, there is an innocent element to him.
You know he would not do something like that from the get-go.
And like, I mean, I love this opening.
I love how, like, quickly we get into him just being like, well, he is willing to put his life on the line for $50.
$50, man.
It's like $50 over, like, whatever.
it is like 10 deliveries. So at max
again, your life on the line. Your life
is worth $500 to you.
And Anthony held
the great, I should say the great Anthony held.
Hell yeah.
Dr. Chiltern from
from
Silence. Silence.
I think he's also comes back in Red Dragon.
And he just, one of our greatest
snooty actors, just love
a guy that should have sheetcake
falling on him at the end of every movie that he's in
is. Is
can clock this dude
because I mean like he's
what Held is getting
is $60 million out of this whole situation
his whole right crooked deal
like wouldn't you just be like
yo dude I'll give you 50 grand
you know what I mean like just like
yeah no grease but he knows
that he can get away with it for 500
he looks 50 grand sounds like
you're there you're involved in something now
50 bucks is just like oh you know
I was just around man like
it has that element too you know it's kind of like
the big Labasca in a way, how it's just like
falling backwards into weird little plots
and getting money and...
This is like, Anthony Hild looks at this guy and he's
like, that's a guy that has more than
once slept overnight in an OTB.
He will do this gig for
$500 and that will be
like amazing to him. He will
think that he's ripping me off.
You know, but yeah, so he
works for Freedom Express. He is
sashaying down the street
to go to work at Freedom Express.
His boss is
Art Evans from Die Hard 2.
He's like the guy that's like showing
Bruce Willis around the airport at different parts
or whatever. He's on the radio with him.
And when he's yelling Grabowski and stuff, it sort of
sounds like the police chief is reaming him out.
But he's just his boss at Freedom Express.
Can I ask you guys? I mean, like this is my first time.
I know you guys all grew up with it.
Is this like a 12 timer for you guys?
Have you seen this?
Oh, yes.
Dozens of times.
Oh, yeah.
This was in the Jupin household.
This was owned on V.
my brother and my younger sister and I
watched the ever-loving shit
out of Bushwack. I couldn't tell you how many times
I've seen this movie. It's up there with like those VHS tapes
that were just on repeat in our house like the second fucking Ace Ventura movie.
I could not tell you how many times I've seen that movie. It was just one of those.
The farting jazz rock score just in my tattooed in there.
Let's talk about the score for a second. Because it's not
quite fat guy John Candy
music but there is
something to it. It's
fart jazz might be it. It's fat
kid
music. That's that's a difference.
It's more of candy music
yeah, yeah, yeah, that worse.
I mean, it's more to that degree
because there's not, there's a jumpiness to it.
They're not like, there's no sexiness or
like danger to it, which is what you want
with your John Candy music. What it
also has up and down is
some whaling guitars.
solos when you need it. That guitar
is here for you with this score. Don't
worry about it. Uh, so yeah,
he's got to give this delivery to Mr.
Bragdon, uh, which
we learn as he gets to the house is Anthony
healed because you have this hilarious like
painted portrait of him or whatever. And I love
this like Daniels. I mean, so much
of this is just a cartoon, right? He walks in
sniffing around like what's cooking.
He opens a door and like
Braggden is like maybe in this office on fire and it's like,
oh, what's cooking human flesh? Like,
We're making those kind of jokes in this movie a little bit, you know.
So, yeah, it's, yes, go ahead.
This initial scene here where he goes to the fire and he started screaming,
ah, fire, you know, and John Polito comes out.
Hell yeah.
As FBI, you're under arrest.
The supporting cast really helps make this movie.
We also get Brad Sullivan later, who's excellent in this.
So, yeah, he pulls a gun on Max Grabowski.
You're under arrest.
And the other agent runs in.
bumps into him. The gun falls. It goes
across the floor. And now Max
Grabowski has the gun.
Now, turn the tables on these guys.
That's right. This other guy is the
young guy from the fugitive. And then
later returns in U.S. Marshals, where I believe
he's at least shot or
maybe even murder. No, he's killed. Yeah, he gets
killed. Spoiler alert for everybody.
Spoiler alert for U.S.
Marshals. It's a big twist
moment. You'll see it coming when we
finally do U.S. Marshals in a couple of us.
happen. And here we got Max
just pointing Daniel Stern pointing the gun
at John Polito. I'm telling you there's a
fire in there. I did not.
I love the
him running out, jumping
out this window. Again, super cartoonishly.
Oh, just jumping out a glass pane window.
Yes. And with
the box, the box explodes.
There's money everywhere.
I'm taking some of that money.
Oh, yeah. Of course. Definitely. That'll come in handy
when I'm on the lamb. Exactly. But I know, like,
Max Grabowski's supposed to be like a coward or
whatever, but even still, again, this is a dude
that is multiple times done in overnight
at an OTB. Like, this
guy's picking up some of that cash as he scurries
away or whatever. This is the type of guy that would pick up
cigarette butts, you know, and create his own.
Yeah, just see if anything's like,
just going to see if anything's left.
Maybe a couple puffs left on
his butt. Yeah.
I mean, Polito's,
the guy who's working with Polito
from the future, it is, it does put a button
on the fact that this is essentially
the fugitive for dumb kids.
Yeah. It is because it's a classic wrong man thing at this point, right?
He is like accused of murdering Bragdon.
I do love at least a little bit here, Steve, there's a hint of, like there's no establishing
shot and there's no sign that they know him here. However, I think he is a regular at this
scumbag bar that he goes to to call the boss. And this is this great line where he's like,
he's like, he got to look up any more deliveries for Reinhart Bragdon.
in and the guy from Die Hard 2 is like, what does he have to do with it?
And there's this great Daniel Stern screaming, because that's the guy I killed, like in this bar.
You don't understand.
They wanted to find out what provasic was.
The guy who, the guy who burned down the house had one, he had a fake right arm, a big right arm.
Yeah, the yelling, that's a guy I killed, you know, because I'm being framed.
Yes.
Just, Daniel Stern.
what a master
master class right here
It's fucking funny man
I mean here's the thing
65% of what you hear in this movie
is Daniel Stern screaming in one way or another
He's either screaming dialogue
or just that amazing
Daniel Stern there's a spider on my face
in home alone screaming
I was very pleasantly surprised
because I thought
it was going to be like the kids
were going to home alone him at some point
and really start to the screws
they almost do it a little bit
but it, the moment passes.
It's not a kid power movie, actually.
Again, no.
Pleasantly surprised by that.
That's what's great, right?
It's, and it's kind of fascinating.
And again, why I don't think you would sort of write a movie this way.
Like, it's a movie where an adult is paired with children, right?
So think about another one that came out kind of around the same time, like three years before, like the Mighty Ducks.
That's way more, I mean, one, obviously kid power, they fucking win the game and whatever.
But also, like, it's more the kid's story.
than it is Emilio.
Like Emilio Estabas is not the main character
of the Mighty Ducks.
Daniel Stern as Max Grabelski is the main
character of Bushwhacked, a movie where an adult
is paired with some children who are
also there and have plenty to do
but Daniel Stern is the focus
of the movie at all times.
Absolutely. And I think it's
very important to say like
I love that you made that connection
because it is really about
hey, derelicts of the world,
derelicts of the nation.
you might and take over
why don't you all come together
and help us raise our kid
why don't you
get off your ass
stop trying to steal
get $50 for like
swindling money
and why don't you just like
stake down become a camping expert
how about that?
It takes a village Chris
it really does
you know and Daniel Stern helps
with that village
so he finds out like
oh there's another delivery
for this guy but it's going to devil's
Peak and Daniel Stern says, devil's
peak, why would anybody want to go to the
mountains? And it cuts to
this really funny
like, the joke is the camera's
just flipped and it's these little boys, you think
they're like climbing a mountain at first
but it's just they're in this dude's driveway
crawling on the ground. I do like
the way the camera sort of like tilts
because what happens? Like what breaks the illusion
like a dog walks up or a
kid on a tricycle? Another kid at a tricycle.
What are you kids doing?
Yeah, the camera kind of like flips
and you're like oh that's kind of cute and you know it's the mid 90s man you better believe
these are fucking five white boys you cannot tell the difference between well you need to get
some differentiation i mean a having a black kid to be fantastic um but also just like character
differences there's like the the lead and then the boy that with the blonde hair are almost
gordy and other gorty yes exactly gordy and gordy squared the fat kid at least like he's a the fat
fat kid. And B,
he's a liar. The nerdy guy
is a nerdy guy and he's a scaredy
cat. He Milton Fishman.
He Milton Fishman. You need
between Gordy and other Gordy
we need something to go. And I thought the thing
was going to be other Gordy was going to
get with, not get with, but like,
you know. He's got a crush on the girl.
Yeah, he's got the boyfriend of the little
girl. I'm glad we don't do that shit. These
kids are just fucking props. You know, they're
along for the ride. Honestly,
yeah, they're there to like help
heightened like jokes that happen around them but like you don't give a fuck about these kids you don't
give a shit like what what the merit badge situation is and they're like fake boy scout organization
they're in did did any of you feel fucking anything when gordie goes flying off the ridge i certainly
didn't no i was like well whoops we lost one i was more worried because i was like looks like
they lost i was more worried just because i was like fuck now the movie dictates daniel stern's got to go
down there and save him, and now I'm worried.
Yeah, and then I got super worried for my dear, dear Daniel Stern is Max Grabowski.
But by the way, once we do get to those mounds, great, great photography in these sequences.
We are outside.
We are filming.
Shit, you know, I will say my good friend Cam Rippey helped me out to watch this movie
came over with and we had a good time.
Whatever that was, that's like a Blu-ray transfer.
It is gorgeous.
It is. Someone lovingly
I have never seen it look that good
and this is pirated from
you know, we had handed it down. Dr.
Torrentino gave us a prescription.
Like usual, you're just, you get them
flipped up. They're brothers. I understand. You were
watching David Ripley.
Of course. David
Ripley or as he goes, divid
sometimes.
Got it. Jesus Christ.
He was the one you were
talking to and watching the movie
with. They look alike. They look
identical sometimes. I get why I think that way. Here's the other thing. How with like
the outright crap that gets put on Blu-ray these days. Like, how has this movie not received a
proper Blu-ray release? You cannot buy this on anything but standard deaf DVDs. Because I am sitting
next to three of the only people that would buy it. This is the problem.
It's true. Eric, Eric, Eric, it's true. Just we got to accept it. It's, it's. We got to accept it. It's
true. The one guy that asked me
when we're doing it, maybe he would buy it
too.
That's four right there.
My sister would get a copy. There's
another sale. I mean, there's
an alternate world where
this is given the proper respect.
This was part of
apparently like a deal Daniel Sturt had
with the studio and he would do
multiple movies, not
bushwhacked, but multiple projects.
But since this one failed,
they threw that deal out. And it's
We could have had way more Daniel Stern in our lives.
Well, this was 95.
When was, what the fuck year is rookie of the year?
Because he, like, he's an executive producer on this movie as well as starring in it.
He, if I'm remembering right, he directed rookie of the year.
He did.
That sounds right, yeah.
Rookie of the year is 1993, so it's prior to this movie.
Okay, got it.
All right.
Can I go to the cast a little bit here?
Yeah, do it up.
We have Corey Carrier as Ralph also known as Other Gordy.
He's a blog kid.
Okay.
he was i mean he's got a great career one previous episode the adventures of pinocchio he played
lampwick if you'll remember sure and i think at that time we were like hey that kids and bushwhack
something something you know uh he did one of his biggest roles was he played even younger
uh indiana jones junior oh that's right and also played richard nixon at 12 years old in
the movie nixon what in the world that's amazing
Do you think he was like,
Well, I'm Richard Yixit.
Probably.
I hope so.
What is that?
That's the Oliver Stone movie?
Yes, it is.
With Anthony Hopkins?
I never saw it, actually.
Is it any good?
Is it really?
It's very long, but like,
I mean, do you like Long Oliver Stone,
like JFK, do you like JFK,
then it's a very similar timber.
Okay.
Fair enough.
Yeah, I just never got around to it.
Remember it had like a memorable,
but not great VHS cover.
it's just half of his face
it's just Hopkins face
kind of whatever
but also he like
Anthony Hopkins as Nixon
also looked like it could have been
Anthony Hopkins playing Ed Sullivan
and it was kind of weird
oh so any more with the cast there
Steve who else he got
well I'm looking it up
he is oh I see
the Gordy
played Peggy's like shitty boyfriend
that she's almost
going to get engaged to
in the suitcase in Madden
Oh, sure.
He goes out with her parents
and, like, her mom's like,
we're all here waiting for you
this kind of thing.
Is he the one that lives
in the shitty apartment
or like the apartment
in a shitty area or something?
Is that that that guy?
That's another one of her boyfriend.
He's only three episodes.
Oh, got it.
So there's that.
That's kind of his big, blah, blah, blah.
I got nothing else going on for him.
Some episodes and numbers.
Oh, we forgot that there's
data, the little kid.
Yeah, that kid's, he sadly passed away.
That guy.
Oh, really?
Somebody had to be dead.
You run the numbers on a kid cast like this.
He had like, I think it was like heart,
heart conditions or something.
He died like at 30 or something like that.
Fucking tragedy.
I mean,
have we mentioned Ann Dowd being the fucking.
No,
like the hammer.
Hell yeah.
Looking fantastic.
Just absolutely radiant.
This is some real nice,
not too shabby mid-90s and Dowd right here.
Not a bad situation.
It is like that glowing.
mom vibe of like if you went over to a friend's house and like your friend's mom was like kind of
attractive and you're like oh this is kind of weird like that's and out in this movie she's
looking pretty good and she's doing some good shit in this movie too it's not like shitty mom
character you have like a little bit of what's you can glean what's going on here gordy uh gordy's
dad and her probably not together anymore she's like the you know de facto leader of this scout
troop, which makes them
kind of the shitty troupe, because she
can't do things right, because she's
mom. So everything's like, quote, unquote, lame
versions of how they're going to get their
merit badges or whatever.
And that's sort of like, yeah.
That's Gordy 2's
whole argument is
the Kyle to Gordy Stan.
Right. And he, I mean,
the funny thing is that they're like, oh,
for cooking, we're making pudding. And like,
yeah, I kind of get it. I get
what you're talking about. You're not really doing much for it. But also, like, you have,
like, a parent who's actually trying to, like, support this thing that you like to do.
You apparently like to do. I don't really know. You act. You fucking complain all the time.
So who knows really? Exactly. Like, who is forcing the scouts on these? Like, you know, was it a decree from
the father? Like, maybe then, like, if the father was dead versus, like, divorced, then it's like,
we got to keep this going because your father loves a scouch too. Anybody in the
this room a
Cub Scout or
I was
yeah
really yes I was
and I actually
I did kind of enjoy it
you know
but I stopped going
because it conflicted
with the time
the Simpsons aired
on Sundays
me too
exactly the same
I made my choice
and I'm glad I did
I was very happy with it
because yeah
I don't know
what the scheduling
with they always had
at that that time
and like Sundays
at seven or something
yeah I was doing
pretty good
I won like the Pine Box Derby.
I was doing pretty good in Scouts.
Wow.
I did not be mad.
I participated and it didn't go well.
I didn't get a trophy first off.
I'm sorry.
Oh, you didn't get a participation trophy is what you're saying.
By the way on the crew.
Was drunk driving?
How did you how'd you fuck up the Pine Box Derby there?
I just did.
I think the thing is with that well, Chris,
are you talking.
A pine wood derby.
You carve,
you carve these models.
It's a piece of what you make a car out of one piece of wood and then you have to design
the tire to make sure.
You have to weigh it enough so that it goes
down a slant like this. And that's my problem
is I was like, I'm going to make
it so slick. Oh, and then I carved
away most of the woods, so it's not going to go as
fast. It doesn't have the momentum going downhill.
You need weight.
You need, like I put a quarter on the
hood of mine. Cheater. Wait,
hold on. That's cheating. That is cheating. Oh, they allowed
it. Oh, no. It was very prominent.
I'll allow it. No, my God.
Anyway, by the way, while we're going
through some of the cast, some of the crew
stuff is interesting. The writers are pretty interesting.
Bobby Farrelly, one of
the Farley brothers, oh, wow.
It wrote this screenplay with some other
people, including Tommy Sweardlow,
who wrote Cool Runnings, Little Giants.
Okay. Oh, wow. Yep.
Snowdogs.
Oh, okay. Wait, is that the Cuba Gooding Jr.
movie? Snowdaws. I think so.
I think so. The Grinch, the 2018,
Scott Mosier, the Grinch. And then, finally,
this past year, Puss and Boots
the Last Wish. So this guy,
Look at this guy. What a career. What a career.
Puss and Boots. Last Wish, man. Fun movie.
I never saw it. I probably will never will, unless we do it.
But people have been raving about it. And I just want to let you know, thank Bushwhacked.
Thank you, your local Bushwacked.
Thank Bushwacked.
The Fat Kid, by the way, is Barnhill, this guy. And you are introduced, I mean, we've been introduced to them climbing the mountain or whatever.
But when they're like getting ready to make the brownies or whatever it is, this kid's like peeping out the window at a naked neighbor. Yeah. You get a little bit of that going on. He's like, oh, Mrs. So-and-so's changing. But that's the beginning of him very obviously lying. Like the kid, tiny kid comes over and is like, oh, let me see. Let me see. And he's like, oh, it never had. She went away. She made it went away. Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, he also says something, something I climbed to Killabajaro with my dad once and whatever. And they're like, well, why doesn't your dad?
never come around. He's like, well, super
spies aren't allowed to do that. It's like,
oh, dude, you just got a band.
You just got a band.
And this, he's portrayed by Max Goldblatt,
who was one of the,
one of the kids in heavyweights.
That checks out. Oh.
That makes all this. I mean, like,
oh, these, whatever these movies were around
like, you know, 92 to like
production year, like,
94, 95, you were swapping a lot of kids around
with all of those movies, man. All these, like, Hollywood.
I have some documents
that they're still swapping kids
actually. Just as Jim Caviesel.
Exactly. What's a movie that I love.
Are you going to be on Russell Brand's show soon?
Yes, because my favorite movie
is watching kids be abducted.
Oh my goodness. My favorite movie is
Sound of Whatever's.
Sound of freedom. So, oh, and then this is where
Ann Dowd is like, hey, everybody. I'd also like to
introduce the new member of the
troupe, Kelsey Jordan,
a girl's joining the scout troop wait what record scratch is that is that allowed oh my lord anyway
it kind of comes to nothing too in a way no i mean the only thing that we got a bra bomb at some point
that's about it's true which does work nerdlinger it comes in handy for sure yeah that really does
so those are the kids and that's what they're you know gearing up to do they want to do this overnight thing
mom why can't we do the overnight we cut back to
Daniel Stern who like
now the police are after this guy
and he's trying to get up to devil's peak
to like sort things out
you know with his whole misunderstanding
and I fucking love
like this gag of him
trying to steal the cars and like all the car alarms are going off
and then he gets in the car
and he's ready to go and there's a kid
there are so many jokes packed into this thing
before that he before he gets to that car
he puts his head down into this
other car and the guy's in it.
And he's like, oh, got your keys?
Yeah. Oh, good.
It moves on to the next car, which then, yes, this woman goes in to the store,
leaves her kid in the car and he sits in the car and he turns it on and the kid in the
back's like, Mr, I got to take a dokey.
And it's a kid that is too old to be sitting in this car.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yeah.
This is like, that's what's so great about this.
You have, you're like triple punch with the jokes right here.
One, a child just being left in this car, ridiculous.
Then Daniel Stern getting in the car and there's the kid.
Uh-oh.
The kids are got to make the ducky.
But then him leaving this child in the car seat on the side of the road.
And then when you get the full vision of the kid, he's way too large for this car seat.
And that's something.
There's parents out there, man.
I got to say, it's more with strollers.
When your kid's too big for a stroller, I'm sorry, but it's embarrassing.
Stop humiliating your child.
If they're fucking feet are dragging on the.
the sidewalk just because you don't want to carry it or whatever, get a bigger stroller or
I don't get a backpack or something. This is embarrassing. I never forget a face, even if it's a
child and I will know what he looks like as an adult and I'll be like, you're that kid from the
stroller. It was way too old to be in it, isn't? Are you? You're the stroller boy, hey. You were
in a stroller as a baby. Like, that's a burn. It's him and his wife and his two children. Could you
please stop.
You feet were dragging on the ground.
You were bushwhacked.
You were bushwhacked once.
Excuse me, sir?
I'm going to call the police.
That sounds like some type of sex crime.
Also, you just defecate yourself.
Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
Yes, speaking of Duky, dude.
Yeah, so this is Anne Dowd has decided she cannot
take these kids on the overnight hiking trip
that they want to do for this.
merit badge so we need a more experienced
scout leader and in she hires
Jack Erickson played by
the great Brad Sullivan from Slapshot
and a thousand other fucking movies
from one of my favorite scenes in the
untouchables. He's the guy that
the guy that won't
cooperate until
I think Andy Garcia
pulls up it's a
Kevin Koster takes a dead body and
shoots it pretends like
he's asking
questions and blah blah blah and he shoots
the dead body in the head he's like you're next
and he'll cooperate right
right yeah yeah yeah was that
that was like near the Canadian border or something
that sequence yeah I rewatched
Untouchables not too long ago it's
still good
it holds it's a movie that like I
constantly forget exists and then when I watch it
I'm like hell yeah hell yeah
untouchables
so this dude is making his way to the same
starting point as Daniel Stern is
there's a mix up at this general
store here and he runs into this guy. And this is, again, just Daniel Stern, like the low level
scumbag stuff, parks a stolen car and a handicaps thing. Yes, yes. And the gag when he's like trying
to ask the guy like directions to Devil's Peak and the news starts broadcasting his face,
he just puts his face over the TV. And it's that great gag of like the facial expression on the
mugshot is the same one that he's making in the store. Yeah, yeah. And oh, Devil's Peak. Tough drive.
what kind of car you're driving.
The one parked in the handicapped zone.
It enters Brad Sullivan.
Oh, man, this is great.
Dude, and these people exist too.
And it's a fridge too far for my taste.
But like, I'm an inconsiderate person's sticker that we're doing.
I got a little story about that sort of.
Uh-oh.
In my condo complex, there was a car that was parked in a guest spot.
And one of these guys I know from the HOA,
it was a real piece of work.
He did that to this guy's car.
It was like, he printed out a whole note
and like fucking duct taped it
to the side of his car on the glass and shit.
And it was like, this car is usually parked up the street.
This is a private play, blah, blah, blah.
And it's like the dude has lived here for like 30 years
and he got furious about it.
And apparently it was like impossible
to get the shit off his window.
Oh, man.
That's brutal, dude.
Small town life.
Yeah, I guess.
Well, town vengeance.
Yeah.
This guy has a full sticker, though,
which is like really some extra effort.
He goes, he has to get that designed.
He uses crazy glue.
Oh, that's crazy glue.
But he's still printing these things out and they're nice,
like, meticulously cut out stickers of paper.
Yeah, yeah.
That's true.
It is twisted.
I mean, the thing, the funny thing about this with Ann Dowd is that and
doubt she gets shook like she seems she thinks she's doing a great job of this until she hears
gorty too complaining about it like she actually gets shook by gorty to being like yeah look
we're making pudding this is terrible we have to do something about it i i don't i would like to think
she's stronger than that and that what she's actually doing is seeing uh opening for a week long
she has her whole roster of fuck buddies ready to come by and then she's going to have
that happening while Gordon and all of his little
dumb-ass friends are out
fucking hiking with this guy.
She can be home, enjoying life
for once. Right. And like having
the run of her house. Yes, of course.
I would love it. Do you keep cutting back
to all these guys waiting for the gang bang
to start? Well, do you
want to start, well, I'm not joking. It's gay
if there's no chick here, man.
I didn't get into that.
Where's Annie?
Annie down. You hit on something.
Surprisingly no homophobic remarks in
film. Shocked. That one.
Yeah. That's pretty crazy.
It's, um, so like the next day, uh, she's like, yeah, we have a new, we have a, what do we,
what do we have, we have, uh, we've got the greatest, uh, scout leader ever. He's going to,
he's going to teach you guys. And little Dana, they're like, oh, Dana can't go because his dad
said no. And then at the last second Dana shows up with a permission slip. Come on and
down. You got to be smarter than this. Yeah. Like her, her,
the dad later is reaming her and he's right
because you got to be like, okay, cool, data.
Let me just call your dad really quick
because I heard that he didn't want you to do that.
Does she need to be smarter
or does she have a date with several men
that she was looking forward to
and sees that this little son of a bitch
might throw a wrench in it?
Well, I mean, if that kid don't go,
it's no concern of hers.
She can still be getting gang bang.
I suppose, yeah, I guess that's true.
But still, late start.
The point that the thing is,
dad makes is fairly accurate though he's like you couldn't tell the difference between
a child's handwriting and my signature was that in the simpsons and then it looks like homer's
actual signatures yes that's right uh but anyway back to the the general store scene it ends with
like daniel stern super glues erics into his hands and his chin to the steering wheel of the
stolen car and he steals this dude's hummer and drives off set for the same spot on
unbeknownst to him, this guy's been hired to
take the kids or whatever. And I
do this fucking moment of him, like, in the
traffic and there's like, this
geriatric cycling club
crossing the street. He's losing his
fucking mind screaming at these old
people. They're just like, hello.
Oh, hello.
Hi.
Hey. Hey.
Wave in the shots of these. I'm going to run you
over. Okay.
Yeah. The shots of
these, these, they look so
stupid. These dudes going on
their bikes, these older people. And just
them politely waving. And it is just played for such a comic effect that it's just great.
I really love the shot of that going, go away. Like, because he screams like, get your wrinkled
asses out of the way. And they're like, hello. Yeah. And he glued Erickson to his car that was
stolen to drive south and don't stop. Uh, so there's a cop that comes up. And this is a great
like, again, it tells you a lot about what level of like,
crime scumbag this dude is like this cop comes up like oh hello there and he immediately like
breaks down starts screaming like yes it was all the mistake it wasn't my fault blah blah blah
and the guy's like whoa whoa whoa you just got a little lost that happens we'll take you right
to the hiking spot because he's lucky because brad sullivan's humvee says scout master on it
which is smart uh lets you know who's inside the car at all times yeah but but the guys you know
so anal
that I could see
him doing that
sure
Steven do you have
a car
with a podcaster
on the back
I don't
ask
I have not a question
for Steve
exactly
I mean
I just look like a
podcaster in general
and I'm walking
around the street
so that works out
he's got a stick
around his ass
that he puts
so I guess
yeah if you get involved
in any type of crime
Steve
someone will just
the police will stop
you and be like
whoa you got a little
lost
the podcast festival
this way.
So whatever, he gets a police escort
and he shows up and he gets out the car
and they're like, hey, you're new scout
leaders here, whatever, your hike leader.
And these kids like swarm him immediately
because like, and out
I guess has like gotten
I don't know, this Erickson's like
bio to read these kids or whatever, but they
know about all these great feats
that he's done over the years. They're like, oh
you know, tell us about the time you climb
Kilimanjaro and just this great
a guy not understanding
that he's talking with children
or not caring or whatever
and it's like tell us about the time
he climbed Kilimanjaro
and it's like it was a bitch
it's just fucking great
and like the fact that
he said it was in the Alps or whatever
and they're like what hey wait
that's yeah that's wrong
it's like well I had to cross the Alps
to get there.
Yeah oh the cops like
oh what a hike that must have been
or whatever like the fact
that every adult in this movie
isn't immediately like
All right, so he killed the scout leader and, you know, through the body in the forest, right?
The kids are like, wow, look at your high-tech hiking shoes and they're their Italian tassel loafers.
That needs to come into play later.
Like, those things would be garbage.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, you would just try to tread it.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, his feet would be totally just bleeding the entire.
I mean, the amount of like real world like cuts, bruises, dings, B.O, ball funk in this movie, all coming from Daniel.
Stearns character.
Sure. Yeah, of course.
Pretty intense shit.
By the way, what he walks away with them in this scene?
There's such little jokes throughout this whole movie.
He's walking away with these kids, you know, leaving the police and the parents or whatever.
And he sneezes directly on them.
I do like that he, his thing is like, all right, you guys walk and I'm going to watch you guys
and evaluate you from behind, which is amazing because he just leaves his initial
instinct, which is the right one.
I was going to leave these kids in the woods.
it'll be what it is.
Yeah, yeah.
But then he's so bad.
No qualms whatsoever.
But then he's so bad at being in the woods that he tries to get away from them.
And he ends up in front of them, which is, I thought, a great gag.
You know, you hike in circles if you're lost.
It's true.
And he's a scaredy cat as well because he's Daniel Stern.
You know, he gets really nervous.
An instant freak out.
Within like 10 steps, there is a massive freak out right here.
But yeah, he just winds up back in front of him again.
this other weird detail about this, you know, the real Erickson guy where like, I guess just because
he's a good climber or whatever, they call him Spider. And so like these kids are all really running
this nickname into the ground like immediately, which pisses him off, which that's, that's the correct
reaction. I knew an outdoorsman with the nickname Spider as a kid. It wasn't in the scouts. It was like
part of a day camp situation. You do like nature hikes with this guy.
I called Spider, which I never knew his actual name.
Everyone was like, well, you kids are going with Spider for the day.
Oh, wow.
I looked like Frank Zappa.
Yeah, he sure did.
Thankfully, nothing happened.
I think we're going to get lost?
No, we didn't get lost.
It was pretty, you know, easygoing hiking, but, you know, scary, right?
You leave your kids with Spider for the day.
Why not just call him Sam?
Like, what the fuck is that?
like what's so what what is elevated about spider the vibe was not he it's not because he was a
great climber it was like this dude like spiders or something this guy was weird this guy has
something wrong he had a spider phase or he had to be the spider tattoo on his his elbow baby
that could have been like he was like an old roadie or something i mean guys that reminds me
i didn't get to explore his body sadly oh i'm sorry eric it does remind me though of that one time
in far out Queens. We were doing karaoke
at a dive bar and that dude
who was like clearly the king
of that karaoke night, Spider Jones.
Spider Jones. That's right.
I think he spelled it with a Y too.
Oh, well, that's a cool way.
That's the great thing about those. You get to
see the sign-up sheet and everything.
That was the night that me and Chris
did that beautiful duet of girls just
want to have fun. We did.
I think about it. I know I got that.
Every time the song comes on.
You're right, Chris. Someone should have been fucking filming
that. I don't know what we're thinking.
That would have been perfect
to release with the 7-100th episode.
I think probably that
happened so long ago that like
cameras didn't exist.
Video on phones wasn't great.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
We weren't shooting an HDR to capture
you guys doing that.
So we get, you know, we're on the way
basically. We get to, I like the campground
that they go in, which like might
be a bunch of hippies, like
dropping some acid and hanging out.
It really is this like, and
Eric, I'm sure you experience this on the trail.
There's like sort of like places that feel almost like Grand Central Station a little bit.
Like the popular areas.
Yeah, like paths all coming together at the same location or something.
Yeah, yeah.
Then this is, this was filmed in Lake, the Lake Tahoe area.
It looks very beautiful.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gordes area.
Yeah, the Gordy, too, is upset that it's so populated because this kid, all he does is complain.
Like, all he does is complain.
it's taxing
like so much so that like by the end of the movie
when he goes off that rail
I'm like oh finally just some quiet
the what do you call it there
back at the base
and out and the rest of the group
find out that their kids have indeed
been kidnapped by Mad Max Grablaski
right because they find the scoutmaster
Erickson glued to this car
and there's a scene of the cops like get out of the vehicle
I can't
I told you
I can't they pull them off the
yeah little scream there
I would love it if they fucking just
Sunny Corley on this car
like all right you're gonna get out
that's what the cops would do
in the real world
I guarantee you that
absolutely
I do the like sound effect
here of this dude's chin
being ripped off the steering wheel
and then there is the great
like the scream is so loud
that like animals in the forest
hear it from far away or whatever
which is always funny
they do am
up like he Daniel Stern's character
is kind of
this like indestructible cartoon figure
because he's walking around
and he's like oh geez all the mosquitoes are getting me
really bad and the nerd kids like
oh here's some bug spray and it's like a combination
of like he's a cartoon character
but also really fucking dumb
because the kid is straight up
like this is some bug spray
and he just starts chugging
this like his defense it's bug repellent
but is you
still should know not to drink it.
What is the difference?
You don't drink anything with bug in the title.
He chugs it.
And then it's like, oh my God.
It's a little tangy.
Which one else is tangy?
There's a, what the fuck?
Oh, wow, that just knocked loose.
I think it's the second problem child movie where they have a lemonade stand or is it the first one.
And junior pisses in it.
And he's like, oh, oh, oh, I drank all the lemonade.
And he like kisses in it.
And then is it Gilbert or like a neighbor or somebody drinks?
I think is Jack Gordon. I think it's Jack Gordon as the grandfather does it?
I hope he's that drinking piss. Oh, he's drinking piss. Yeah.
So that's it's criminal that a movie like Bushwacked culturally forgotten. Problem child. I guarantee you could find hundreds of thousands of people have seen it.
And not only does one kid piss in this movie, 12 kids pissed in this movie. There are such good pissing scenes in this movie.
We are going to get there, folks. But there's a great, great piss.
sequence. The first we run afoul
of this bear.
I think Little Milton is
afraid of a bear
cub and you know
Grubelsky because he's so stupid
oh no it's Winnie the Pooh
and petting it
playing with it and stuff
and boxing it and then
Mama Bear comes out and he faints
and he's being dragged around like
a corpse and the kids think oh this is genius
because in the manual it says you're supposed
to play dead. So they start thinking like
he's acting out like what to do.
Like, oh, I'm going to get involved with this mama bear
to show the kids what you should do
when you encounter when you play dad.
Every time they cut to this bear actor
just swiping away at this Daniel Stern dummy,
it is some of the funniest.
Man, just like, give me some good dummy stuff like this.
Just a big old bear knocking around a dummy.
I'll watch like 15 minutes of that.
They couldn't afford Barth the bear, by the way.
We see this is not Barth the bear.
Yeah, no, I mean, you rarely would you reach like the bear acting heights of a Bart the bear.
Like, this bear's trying, but like, give me a break.
Will you please, Jere the bear is just fine.
He's doing very good.
He's doing just great.
He's a fine, good.
And the little one as well, Norman bear, he's also fine.
Of course.
And at this point, they know that there's cops out in the woods.
And so now John Polito and the sky.
Master are following them.
They're trying to make up lost ground
and catch up. And this is sort of where we get
our little pissing sequence.
I didn't realize we were so close to it, but
we were close to it. It's right here.
I do love the shot that opens
this where it's like the kids are singing
some stupid little marching song.
And Daniel Stern's like in front of them.
And the way that Stern's like physicality
is right here, this guy
is just walking like he's on a fucking
death march. Like it's just like
and it's this really great like, you know,
juxtaposition between the kids like having a great time
and singing this song and this dude is just like
with every step he wishes
he's coming closer to death. It's so great.
And he's got this rifle over
his back and it's just so
his movements look so sloppy.
He's so not equipped
for this. And yeah, it's great.
It's great. John, John Polito, hilarious.
Love that guy and everything.
Yeah. He's up against a rock
and the scene starts
with one of the little kid Dana's like,
I got to pee.
And he's like, well, this is like, what's stopping you?
And he cut to John Pluto at the bottom of the mountain.
Like, oh, thank God.
There's all this mountain rain.
And he's bathing in six children's piss.
Yes.
Yes.
And the kids are singing.
I write it down.
Thank you.
Okay.
Here we go.
For you guys.
Here we go.
Shake your lizard, let it drain.
Move your hips and spell your name.
Send it straight.
Send it hot.
now a sword fight and guard.
Because they waved their dicks at each other.
I guess that's what the sword fight is.
Yes, that's what we learned in cop and a half.
And then we get the Erickson, the Scoutmaster,
be bad news for your Palmer, that ain't rain.
And then we get the last line.
Lean back boys, golden arches.
Excuse me.
Eat your veggies.
I'm sorry, it's eat your veggies, eat your starches.
I'm sorry, it's eat your veggies, eat your starches,
lean back boys, golden arches.
You got it.
I noticed this time around, like, the special effects here are ridiculous.
When these kids lean back, the vert that these streams of piss are getting, man.
Were these kids drinking bud light all day?
Like, what happened?
It's wild.
There was still that much piss left in there.
And it's defying gravity that much.
Secondarily.
Yeah.
Dindistor is not pissing with him, right?
He's not.
No, he's not.
No, no, no.
Yes.
Just it's just behind them.
He's just instructing them how to
piss. He's just telling them how to do it.
It does never gets to that kind
of stuff. Exactly. Except for the sex
ed talk maybe a little bit.
But yes, now John Polito's
been covered in kid piss. He's hard as a rock.
Where where is
John Waters to fucking direct this
movie and actually do what?
Because this should actually be just going with
Joe Polito's character after this and him
finding a new way of life now that he
finds out he loves being pissed
on and he takes great relish
in it. Also, though, this
is the second time
we've seen this recently. If you recall
an episode from last season,
American Pie 2,
where Stiffler gets pissed on by
the Milf guys. And in both of
these instances, both
Stifler and John Polito's FBI
character,
confuse, like,
warm, hot piss
fresh from the fucking source
for like cool
summer rain. No, no.
What is wrong with people's sense of feeling in this movie?
Like, obviously you're getting pissed on.
Well, Stiffer thought it was beer, right?
He thought he was getting a beer, a beer poured down his gullet and he's actually drinking piss.
You're right.
This, I mean, but yeah, like in both cases, it's supposed to be cold anyway, unless it's a hot spring that they're going to climb to.
I don't think so.
It would be great if piss was cold, right?
It would be a little bit of a fresh.
Never thought about it.
Exactly.
Thank you, Steve.
Exactly my train of thought.
it would be a little more refreshing.
Oh, there it is.
Or maybe put a little menthol in there.
Oh, no.
No, sir.
I do love, so
what you call it, they scream out.
Daniel Stewart sees them. He knows now.
He's being chased by these guys, so he runs.
And in running, running badge time.
Everyone run. It's running badge time.
Both the scoutmaster and John Pluto are climbing them out.
one of my favorite things in all of movies is the ADR fat joke because what happens there what happens here folks is the scene is done right it's just it's just John Polito and the other guy climbing over to the mountain and like the guy's like come on come on gosh darn it what are you doing and then there's an ADR thing's like how fat is this guy and then they run off together but that's like again that didn't happen on set that didn't have that wasn't in the script it was like somebody watching the
the final cut,
you know,
we could squeeze a fat joke
in here right now.
Just get somebody
in the ADR booth.
What a fat fuck.
I love it.
I love it.
I mean, it is,
yeah,
maybe it's not the best taste joke,
but I do like that they,
this movie,
there's jokes nonstop,
basically.
They get to a temple of doom-esque bridge
right to here.
And I do love Daniel Stern
being like,
all right,
littlest kid,
you're the first one to go
across.
I feel this is a lot of the trailer, right?
This was a lot of bridge shenanigans in the trailer.
And it's just a, you know, your classic.
Them running over the thing.
That was a big shot in the trailer.
I don't know why he doesn't get this little,
you should get Dana, you get him behind a Jeep,
get some nitroglycerin in the back,
get him to drive it over there,
and see how much he's really got as far as Will goes.
this kid
our annoying lead child
Gordy falls through at one point
and this is Daniel Stern again
the character just being such a great scumbag
he's not like
necessarily concerned for the child safety
more than it's slowing everything down
and he's like come on Gordy stop horsing off out there
yeah the scene where the part of it
where he's just running across
at a full clip over this bridge pushing
all the kids forward and somehow
one slips through Milton Fishman
who's just trapped on the bridge
and he's already started chopping the bridge down.
I do appreciate, yes.
You are trying, you cut half the ropes out.
On this kid, it's like trapped and paralyzed in terror
on this rickety rope bridge.
Yeah.
And then there's like a fishman.
And then we get the whole,
you are Milton Fishman super stud in order to get your,
in mindset, I guess, to get across this bridge.
This is also where they do drop a hint.
And I mean,
God bless him. I miss him every day. Rest in peace, John Polito, you know, amazing and everything he touched.
But like this is, so this is where they hint, even though you glean it already, that like maybe John Polito's not necessarily on the up and up.
Because he takes out this fucking rifle. He's aiming it towards Daniel Stern's character here. And he's just like, goodbye, Grabelsky. Hello, one million dollars. And you're like, oh, well, no one's given an FBI agent.
and a million dollars on the up and up.
But Brad Sullivan stops.
Like, you're going to hit the kids.
Gosh darn it.
It's like, there's a scout on that bridge.
That's right.
You would hope John Polito would then at that moment shoot Brad Sullivan.
And also, and then go and shoot the child and then shoot Grabowski.
Here's the thing.
If six kids pissed on me, I got to go down the mountain.
I got to get changed.
I need a shower.
Hotel night.
And then tomorrow I will do what I need to do.
Today's day of work.
is over. Exactly. I need to watch
like hotel television for four hours
in a completely cleaned environment and be like
all right now I'm okay. Some hoarders, get some shark tank, you're
going to be all that. Maybe a ghost hunter show.
I think some people would argue, not me, maybe you know, this is like tech
millionaires and billionaires. Sure. Sure. Bathing in the young
people's piss is rejuvenating. You know, Eric, Eric, no, that's blood. I'm
sorry. Yeah, you switch them. It's the blood. Piss is also pretty good for you, right?
But they like drinking it.
They like drinking it.
Wait, what?
Who's drinking piss?
So many people drink piss, dude.
It's crazy.
Many, many, many, many tech billionaires do this.
Yeah.
You're not right.
I actually, I met a guy when I was a kid who, who proudly drank piss.
Yeah.
He was a new, he was a new age fellow, you see.
Oh, yeah.
I remember that guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You told the story before.
We're talking about ponytails, bead bracelets and some loose flowing linen.
And he's like, hell yeah, I drink.
I drink my own urine.
And, you know, I think he drank it like twice a cycle or whatever.
Like he'd piss, he'd then drink it, and then he would piss again and then drink that.
And then after that, I think he needs to not drink piss for a little bit.
But why?
Because it rejuvenates you apparently, right?
But it's by definition waste.
Why are you reconsuming waste?
Because it's waste, but there's still stuff in there that's not.
I think there's still some water residue.
do. I don't advocate it. I know Kevin Costner did it in the motion pictures. So everyone wants
to do it like water world style. Well, that was at least, that was filtered by a gadget, dude.
That's just not dick to mug. The body is a gadget.
It also, that is also true. And as Eric, Eric is being a little timid. Elon Musk, of course,
is a very outspoken piss drinker. Is that right? Loves it. Loves it very much.
I drink fish. He likes it cold and he likes it warm.
I have to have so many babies so I could drink your fish.
I like pissing out the piss I've drank.
I like piss and double piss.
Why is it bushworked on Blu-ray pedophile?
Yeah, well, that's gross, Eric.
Do you know what happened to that guy?
Did he die from a pissover dose?
I don't know what happened to him since I never saw him again.
Maybe he did pass away from drinking too much piss.
That might have done it.
And also the answer, obviously, the reason to drink piss is for sexual satisfaction.
I think that's fine.
Yes, yes.
I got no stone thrown from this guy.
A little bit of dick beer goes down easy.
It's all fun.
Do you want to do that?
Do you want to do it in the bathroom, by the way?
Not in the bedroom.
That's just going to get the machine.
Yeah, it's just a mess.
Get in the shower.
Get the tub, you know.
Something with a drain, people.
Get a poncho out.
I don't care how.
thick your fucking plastic sheets are.
Get in the bathroom.
So John Bolito
tries to shoot Krabowski,
but the scoutmaster stops
him. Don't you dare. There's a scout on that bridge.
And they, you know, he
sikes up Milton Fishman enough
to finally get over the hump.
And then he doesn't do, indeed,
Temple of Doom, this bridge pretty well.
Yep. John Polito's got to jump
for it at the last second. Or is it
the, is it the scout master's
Erickson? Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But hey, we're actually doing it.
It looks, this is like, we actually have real shit happening in this movie, which you don't see any.
Hey, Moorab, prepare to meet Cali in hell.
So we stopped to camp for the night.
And then this is, again, just like the brilliant stupidity of this character.
Like the little nerd kid who's like constantly referring to the scout guide or whatever is like the guide says that when you want to make a fire.
out here in the woods, you've got to get some pine cones. And they're like, collecting these
pine cones. And Daniel Stern is just like, wow, here's a real big one. This will keep the fire
burning all night. It's as big as a football. Yeah. This was a real time waste. It's like we need
a gag here. What's the gag? I don't know. Maybe he's playing football with a beehive. Why would
he do that? Shut up. We're shooting it. To be stung by a bunch of bees for my enjoyment.
Dude, I love all of these
animated bees
straight out of like
Golden Era Disney movies
like just unapologetically
animated looking bees
pretty great.
The joke here at the end
when they're like
the kids are like putting
Calumine lotion on him
or whatever they're like
well he stopped seizing five minutes ago
which is kind of funny.
Yeah,
that's pretty funny.
I mean also bee bites of this size
or I mean bug bites in general
it's a funny thing to show
like having them like
have to like put all this stuff on them.
It's fun to show, I think is better than like burning his hands or something.
There is, there is a wild line at the start of this that where the,
the fishman guy is like, the manual says to use pine cones.
And Daniel Stern's character turns to this child and goes, if the manual said to stick
your wiener in a light socket, would you do it?
And I was like, man, that is a line.
Well, I guess he's just sick of this kid already.
You know what I mean?
He is.
He is.
Oh, he is.
he's sick of all of him, dude.
He really wishes
he didn't get lost
in the woods back at the start of it.
Yeah.
We wish he wasn't bushwhacked.
Um,
you know,
that's a big problem.
Also that.
Yeah,
you don't want to get pushwreck.
The scout leader,
the scout master and Polito
are down at a river
because they have to hike around
because the bridge is out.
And he's trying to get fish out of the water
with his bare hands,
talking about how you have to hunt down
the goodness in life and everybody wants everything now.
And that he is the thin,
khaki line between morality
and depravity. Nice. That's
when you're also like, all right,
maybe Daniel Stern was like a crazy
scumbag guy on the lamb and whatever,
but this guy's also crazy.
He's fucking crazy. This is the line
that maybe hints of what Steve wants to happen
is there's no telling what kind of
depravity Graalbasky's up to
right now. First of all, I don't
want that to happen. I'm really clear about that.
I'm glad that. Oh, good. Again, I think
that this movie only can exist because
that is never even remotely.
broached. You're right. I was just
messing with you. I know, but I want to
talk to me. But
the movie, Steve, you're right. The movie is
better for not even trying to wait into
those waters. It's not a single parent says
anything like that. I do think that like
if this movie was made today, A, he would smoke
less cigarettes and B, that would definitely be
something that would be addressed at one point. Yes.
The failing guy, edge
lordy shit. That seeps into
kids'
uh, comedy these days. It has to
be there. It's like L.O.L.
molestation. It's like, I mean, let's
Instead, where this kicks off
them discussing sex. Like, can you
tell us about the birds and the bees? That is
No, that's not what kicks off
sex. What kicks off sex is they
the one kid's like, hey, I got
a playboy here.
And they're like about to look
at it and it's like,
Ooh, baby, yeah.
He sees it and it's just, what do you kids
got here? And it's immediately that like,
well, say,
Mr. Robowski could maybe look at this.
The physical
comedy, Daniel Snow, the way his eyes bulge
out of his sock, it's looking at the...
I was about to compliment that as well, because it's
a stupid joke. It's like, obviously
like, a grown man can look at pornography
and be like, in his brain, be like, that's
pretty cool and put it in his pocket and be like, that's not
cool for you kids. But to sell it
this hard with the eyeball, it's
great. Yeah.
He's incredible.
So they, yeah, they ask him about the
birds and the bees or whatever. There's this really funny
like little kids, like not
understanding stuff. Like, oh yeah, what do you
think happens or whatever and it's something about like
and then a man and a woman take their shirts
off and it's like oh no no no no
the guy I think it's like Fishman or whatever
is like the guy doesn't have to take his shirt
off just the woman or whatever they're like
oh okay as if it's like totally
totally the truth even the little girl Kelsey's like
oh oh got it oh all right
it's great and this is yeah he takes
he's like let me see your dollies
and this is when he's like the man dolly
and the kid dolly and then I think they cut back
to down
and the girl dolly, not the man dolly
and the kid dolly. I think he says lady
dolly. Lady dolly. And it's like
he starts to mash them together.
We cut away and then he cuts back
and we're just watching him go
and then he's like really making it.
Baby, work it baby. Oh yeah.
He's got the cigarette hanging
out of his mouth still. That's how daddy
likes it. And there is start
your engines. Ouga.
He has taken
what's great is when they cut back. His
jacket is off. And the
cigarette is lit as if like like he's George C. Scott and he's been like screaming at somebody in a
meeting for a while like this is still going 30 minutes or something no but that's the that's the one seen
missing in Barbie like we've explored all these other avenues that's what people did with Barbies they
mashed their genitals together and just saw what happened you know what I mean like yeah that needs
to happen at some point or the the the lack of genitals and then the Ken doll has a cigarette
watches a little Leno and goes to sleep any questions is there is
there no
they make a
genital joke in Barbie
there is they said
that they don't have
anything down there
oh they do
okay there's at least that
all right yes
I couldn't remember
it's been a while
yeah
any questions which is great
and they're all
fucking like
totally horrified by him
uh
and then they get it
this is a weird like
I guess it's kind of like
maybe the
nah not really like a bonding scene
but it's like
they're getting along
or whatever
and they're doing like
what would you do
in this kind of
scenario
kind of campfire game
or whatever
and you know what if a blizzard came through and everyone died but you like would you eat the people like that kind of stuff or whatever and then it's like max you do one and it's just like Daniel Stern really kind of getting deep emotionally here like well what if you were oh lonely scumbag and one day a guy comes along to you and says you know hey I'll give you $50 or buddy he's explaining like how he got set up into this thing and like it's a weird thing where it's like and maybe he thought you know
being a delivery guy
would be exciting
but it's actually
pretty boring
and soul crushing
at least not saying
stuff like that
but that's like
the vibe of like
here's my miserable life
and then the kids are all just like
no that sounds shady as fuck
I wouldn't do that
only a moron would do that
sounds like a setup
yes
it's pretty funny
well okay let me ask you kids
so you star in two
groundbreaking kids entertainment
and then the company
comes to you and says
hey why don't you direct
this kid's baseball movie
and star in the kid baseball movie
as this weird guy
who's kind of like talking to the guy
like the kid like he's an adult
it's weird right
and then you do another movie
where you're an even more perverted version
of that guy
with you know unbutton top button
button some necklaces around here
just some who would want more blindly into a trap
like that only a sucker dofus
moron or sleaze ball would do that
and meanwhile you're part of one of the longest
best running shows in
on television but
nobody knows it because you're a goddamn voice.
Dilbert.
The wonder years.
The wonder years.
Oh, right. Yes.
I see, shit, I forgot the wonder years.
So yeah.
That's why.
Poor,
David's true. Yeah.
That's right. Yeah. Oh, man,
fucking Dilbert, right.
Speaking of Daniel Stern in the 90s.
Eap.
Yeah.
Got about that fucking hell spawn cartoon.
Um,
but yeah,
you know,
the next morning is when they find out like so little shitty gorty's been
working on making some sort of radio device.
I don't know what the hell this was.
This is a little.
convenient, but it's fine. We've got to move the movie along. So it's like, he
builds a radio. Yeah. And they hear, you know, oh, Mad Max Grabelsky, he's taking kids
hostage, blah, blah, blah. And they're like shit scared. And they run up to this tent. And man,
I'll tell you right now, like one great physical joke of like Daniel Stern too big to sleep
in like a child's pop tent. So his feet are sticking out the front door, which is great. But he
has gone to sleep with this playboy.
And I'm telling you
right now, this dude jerked off the previous
night. Probably. He's, because
you know what Daniel Stern's character has had
in this movie a lot of really
bad Fargo sex?
Just a lot of scuzzy, drunk
one-night stands. Maybe there's another
dude getting laid in the twin bed next to you, kind
of a thing. Well, he's paid for it
so many times. Absolutely.
Absolutely.
But, yeah, so this is where
he wakes up and he's like,
he's waving a gun in the children's faces
for comedic effect.
Yes. Fantastic shit.
You're only getting in 95 and previously.
They should let you do that now, not just in movies.
God.
This country does let people get away with that quite a bit.
Oh, actually, right.
Never mind.
We should stop that, actually.
We should stop that and let me do it in the movies.
But so the kids start to, you know,
rally around here like, all right, we got to do something about
this. Like, you know, we got to take this guy
out. And they mix, I mean,
this thing would fucking kill this man. Like, once
again, just like drinking the fucking bug spray.
Yep. They're like, all right,
we're going to take a water canteen and
fill it with a bunch of allergy
pills, cough medicine, and
sleeping pills. Why do these kids
have sleeping pills that are curious? That's a great
question, actually. Yeah, maybe if
like little Milton couldn't
sleep in the woods or something. Actually,
yeah, that's it, because Milton Fishman's parents
give him that big sack of fucking meds.
Probably in there is some
some real serious shit
that will put you right down.
Some children's ambient.
Fishman seniors,
little blue pills are in there too
by mistake, maybe.
Got to watch out for that.
It's incredibly hard.
Yeah, big swinging ones.
So it's a thing of like,
oh, hey, Spider, aren't you thirsty?
And they eventually do
like sort of get him to drink this.
And again, because it's just like the tangy
line. He chugs this whole thing. And then he's like, oh, that is good. It's like, what is
wrong with this man? Thank you. And he starts jocking. Probably get a pretty good buzz off
that. You probably get like a little initial buzz. Oh, yeah. Definitely. You're going down.
Because it's like your heart rate's just going until he eventually does collapse dead almost.
After one of them mistakenly calls him Grabowski. He's like, how'd you know my name? And then he passes out.
Yeah. Yeah. He's like, he's like,
like, oh, I had a doctor with that name that treated me once for an undescended left testicle.
Yes.
That's not a lie, Fishman.
That's a thing that actually happened to you.
Maybe the doctor wasn't named Grabowski, but that's way too specific for that.
And he says specifically, like, it's going back up right now as he speaks or something like that.
Yes, which is pretty great.
Yeah, he's so scared that his fucking nuts are ascending because he's terrified.
Good line, Fishman.
I'll be honest.
You did good there.
It's not bad.
Sorry, Super Stud.
But he passes out and they're all excited.
Like, oh, we caught Mad Max and they're like yelling off the cliff and like Polito hears them at this point, I think is the idea.
And he runs up and this is like he ties Max to a tree.
And then like the kids are going to get like suspicious here with Polito.
Like why is this guy being so crazy with the gun?
Why is he, you know, being mean to Max or whatever?
One good line from the Scoutmaster Erickson here is I'll take six ranger.
scouts over one federal man any
day. I kind of love that
weird libertarians streak.
Oh, he does have that dude. He's calling
him G-man through this whole
movie. Oh, yeah.
I think he does it respect him as an overweight person
as well. Oh, that's true. There's a little bit of that.
It's one of those signs of weaknesses that
he would call it. He's constantly calling him
Cupcake, too. That's his other big insults
is everybody's cupcake.
This guy would be annoying to be
around. There's no doubt about it.
A little bit of economy here and a bit of
question mark. Anthony Held shows up flying his own helicopter like because that was just
sort of like, okay, so who's the helicopter pilot? That's a character. Oh no, it's Anthony Heldt's doing
that. Yes. But yeah, he's, you know, Braggden is alive and well and like here's the big reveal
to Grubowski. Right. Polito set up there and yeah, you're alive. And the thing with the teeth is
funny, huh? It's fucked up like, you know, because like Daniel Stern's character is like, hey, they found
your teeth like the dental records match
he's like oh yes it was quite expensive to get all those
pulled like this is dedication
to the scam I have to say
but at a million dollars a tooth it was well
worth it kill him I can't
kill John Polino he's just doing his job
oh kill me
yeah that's great
and they're about to kill him
I think the kids now realize
oh we need to save our good friend
Grubelsky because something's crooked
this is when the bra bomb is
utilized. Right. And this is also
the point where Held has said
like you have to kill the kids as well.
So yeah, it's pretty
now we're up at the ante on the
we're John Polito.
Like I'd be like, listen, I'll kill
fucking Daniel Stern. I'm doing society of favor.
I am not murdering six
children. A. for the same
price than whatever we agreed upon. Right.
But it's got to be a few million dollars.
Yeah. But he says one million dollars.
Just one?
but that's one but that's for just Grabowski for the kids I think you need to no no I think you're
talking about 3 million 5 million at very least you're totally right but what I'm saying is like
Polito doesn't even have the good business sense to renegotiate the terms before any of that
you know what I mean again it's that crazy thing where it's like yeah Grubowski was going to get
500 from this polito a million dollars when anthony healed is getting like 60 million bucks
and again if you go to jail for killing Daniel Stern contract killing Daniel Stern you're
probably doing, you know, 20, 25 years, whatever.
Right.
You kill six, and you're going in, like, this is a regular criminal.
You kill six kids on a mountain.
You're getting the chair and you probably won't even make it to the chair.
You'll get dombered at the fucking wait room, dude.
Yeah.
The prisoners would not appreciate you at all.
Prisoners loving children, pretty weird.
You'll probably meet your end.
Probably meet your end on the courthouse steps.
Someone will take a gun to you, or maybe they
just stone you right there. That'd be great too.
Well, they kind of get stoned right here
because we're launching stones with
Kelsey's little trainer bra
and one nails
Polito and then when the other one's going for
Anthony healed, he moves out of the way and it hits
Daniel Stern and knocks him off
this cliff into the river. And I have to say right
here, this is a stunt man
going off this cliff.
Absolutely. And the kids kind of run
away to like go save him. And this
you get
like a team of little
person stunt people here
because it's all just like
good son type
little person stunt actors diving off
this cliff into the river to save him or whatever
amazing work for that community
for this movie like so many jobs
for hire right here
but it's all great it's all like legit
stunts happening which is again
it's so rare it looks weird
to your eye you know
but they all jump in
and it's all we got to save him or whatever
where's the where's the little kid he's
gone missing. Uh-oh, we're coming up to a waterfall and this Dana kid pops out of nowhere
saves Daniel Stern and he's able to like grab all of them. And then it is this weird thing of
like, uh-oh, here comes Polito and healed again. We have to, the little girl is like, throw your
bags in the river. Make them think we're fucking dead. She just, she just watched a fugitive.
She's been thinking about these things. Dana, I'm sorry. And I don't want to be the fucking drive
a truck through a guy here. But fucking little Dana saving this whole, Dana versus the rapids
and seven bodies, one of which is an adult. Dana, you and your friends are going over
the falls and you're going to die in the rocks. That's what's going to happen. That is,
you do get supernatural strength, Chris. I suppose. That's true. And he's real strong. As he says,
you know, I may be small, but I'm real strong. And I guess three, three babies in the fucking
audience go, yay.
Listen, Chris.
One brief moment of your little kid power thing.
At least it's not the entire movie.
And it's not an all kids power thing.
It's like, hey, the little guy can do something to.
And I think that's important.
Because everybody kind of gets their moment,
aside from the two Gordy's in a way, which is funny.
But like, Kelsey is able to like, you know,
use some ingenuity here to use your bra to take him out or whatever.
And then, yeah, the little guy saves the kids.
And then it turns out in a few minutes,
the fat kid isn't a liar
he actually is familiar with mountain
climbing equipment. It is, yes.
So, you know, little things
in there for these kids, but I don't think it
equates to kid power
as it would normally disgust us.
The trick does work. John Polito's
like, relax, what we couldn't do, nature
did for us. And we were
just cackling this helicopter
that we just killed six kids. Yeah. Absolutely.
Not a second
thought given to it, dude. They might as well be
chomping on cigars, just laughing.
Meanwhile, Anne Dowd finds the gum and the address in the gum that was discarded and tries to get the FBI to go up there.
And she knows that the house is owned by Mr. Bragging because she's a real estate broker, which I didn't know.
Only comes up once.
Then at the camp, one of my favorite jokes is one of the kids tells Daniel Stern that if you get the electric chair, you should put a light bulb in your mouth like Uncle Fester.
and he just says good idea
I think that might have been a trailer segment
also right there, a little piece of the trailer
I love the end down
the problem of the end down and the other FBI guy
like the guy, he's the other guy
from the fugitive as we said like he needs
something else like he's not crooked
I guess he's just kind of stupid
because he's super bad
like you're right so much to the point
where it's like you're so
like hamstringing this investigation by
being that stubborn with her, are you in on it?
Or are you just that, that stupid?
Yeah.
Because, like, she says, like, you know, now Mr. Thompson, when I step on your foot and
show you this fucking address, this is where the children are.
And he's like, oh, a real estate agent, well, isn't that helpful?
Let the FBI stick to this honey or whatever it is.
And she does a great, like, grabbing this dude, like, you're going to get up there.
And you're going to fucking find them.
And, like, I guess.
the dude just doesn't do it because then again
another like I don't know if it
scenes deleted or just like Slop City
getting to the end of this movie she's just driving
this fucking Hummer out of nowhere
She doesn't have to do it alone
Yes and then she's driving up there
Yeah because she has to do it alone
And then we get the
The belaying scene with the
With the climbing ropes
Well lay myself
Well he has to climb devil's peak and it's this
enormous mountain
These shoes would be nothing
They would be sand at this point.
Like, just, yep.
Go barefoot at this point.
Yeah.
Hey, in that first home alone movie,
Daniel Stern is totally barefoot through like the entire third act.
And remember he's got the fake Daniel Stern Hobbit feet?
That's true.
Like, because he can't be walking outside.
Like, you should do that.
You're right.
Like his shoes should come off or at least like, you know, the like toes are sticking out the top of it or something.
Or at least just comment on it.
Comment on, like, boy, my feet are bleeding constantly.
Or something like that.
But yeah, so this is, okay, you know, whatever his name is here, the, you know, the little liar kid.
Like, this is the last time.
Like, did you actually climb Kilimanjaro?
Like, do you know how to use this equipment?
And it's great.
It's like Daniel's turn.
Like, I won't be mad.
Just tell me right now that you're lying and it'll be totally fine.
He's like, no, I did it.
and it's great
it's Daniel Stern
like obviously not on a
real rock face
but doing some
belaying in the stunt set here
which is pretty great
but yeah
just that great screams
just like more screaming
oh yeah
lots of screams
a screen based comedy
is really what they're
yes
but dude this like
belay myself
that was that was a line
spit out all the time
around our house
wow okay
because I think also
it was a thing
where like this was literally
the movie that
taught us the word belay.
Sure. And so it's like, oh, it's like a weird word.
And now we're little kids and we're going to repeat it constantly.
But like this, belay myself line was used quite a bit.
So they all get over successfully and they get up and, uh-oh, the last thing.
And this is, this might have even been one of the posters at one point or like back in the VHS cover or something.
But him, how are we going to get over this big, big crevasse here?
The human bridge.
him leaning over it, doing the human bridge.
Really great gag here.
The nerd kids like, oh, hey, you know, Mr. Grabelski,
did you know that based on your height and body mass,
you'll be able to hold this pose for another three and a half minutes?
And he's like, great, take your time.
Yeah.
They leave him there for a moment.
It's fun.
Which is great.
It's a funny gag.
This with the kid, when they reveal the solution to how the kids are going to climb over him,
this I remember being one of the big,
guitar whales that happens.
Just, well, look how awesome this is.
It's something. It's, you know, sure.
It's a kid's movie.
I know. We're having to do Steve.
I'm having a sour Steve Sadek.
But Ann Dowd, maybe this will do it for you, Steve.
She's all tied up to a chair here.
You like that, right?
If you, if you saw this as a kid, I know you, what you're into,
you would have fucking, you would have been busting.
Never mind.
Busting what exactly?
It would have been a film of movie.
It would have been,
you would have had,
you would have loved this movie.
We would all figured it out together.
Exactly.
I do like, again,
John Polito's like,
I guess now I have to kill this woman too.
Christ.
Like what,
when did I turn into the Terminator?
I want some more cash here.
He does suggest like killing Max is one thing,
but all these kids,
why don't we just clear out?
And Braddon's just like,
the last truck is coming and with the last 10 million
and we're not going anywhere.
I do like the
there's a repeated joke from earlier
where like the nerd kid has binoculars
and Daniel Stern does a like let me see
and he's strangling the kid with them.
Pretty funny. That got me every time.
And it happens here where it's like
you know I see
so and so and I see this
and I see that and I see
Gordy's mom tied to a chair
and it's again Daniel Stern strangling
this kid with the binoculars.
which I do love.
Then we also get Pallito gets taken out by Erickson, the Scoutmaster,
who's just up a tree that just jumps down onto him.
Hey, Cupcake.
That is a wild part, man, where it's like this,
he, Erickson winds up getting handcuffed to that tree.
And he just like, I guess spends literally the whole night shimmying up it.
Right.
He's the Terminators.
Yeah.
I mean, it's that I love.
And then, yeah, he gets the kids over and he's like,
all right, kids.
Now, what we're going to do is dismember the body.
What we're going to do is cut through the joints and through the bolts and take each part,
and we're going to dump each part of the body in separate places so that people cannot find him.
We're going to find all the feeding spots for the wolves and bears on this mountain.
And that's where we're going to leave all his parts.
And we bury the teeth separately.
Scattered them like ashes.
And take your time when you're doing it now.
You don't want to rush through taking a part of body because you're going to make mistakes.
I know it feels hard at first, but bodies want to come apart.
You work the joints and it will come apart.
Let the knife do the work.
Now, I know it sounds weird, but you do actually have to take the foot from the leg.
It's two separate pieces.
You take it as one thing.
You can't fit it in so many places.
You wouldn't believe the situations I have gotten into with the foot still on.
It's unbelievable.
Leaving a foot on is how they catch it.
So Bragdon's now calling for Palmer,
who is John Polito's character. He's taking the
suitcases to the helicopter, doesn't see him there. So I guess he's going to
clear out. But this is where Max
sneaks in to help and
out. And
something, something Max
jumps at
Anthony Heldon. Anthony Heldon gets out of the way
and the kid goes right over the mountain.
That is hilarious. But first, he's
he's the one she's all endowed's tied up oh right what kind of knots are these and she's like
mouthing like oh my god he's an idiot and he's trying to untire for seemingly i guess forever
because we see the the ropes all done in different ways and then we hear anthony held behind
it's a clove hitch thank you yes he was a scout himself you see yeah dude he was a scout
the whole time wow it's coming from inside the scout troop that's right yeah because he's like
I learned it in the scouts in that great Anthony Heald's scumbag delivery that he always does, which is awesome.
But what it is, is they're out like on this deck and Anthony Hild is going to shoot and out in the head.
And this kid, Gordy, comes around the corner and he does like a get away from my man.
And he runs and he trips on like a board like sticking up out of the deck or whatever and just stupidly gets launched into the air.
again Anthony Heald's character
No qualms about killing kids
Like over the side you go child
Totally
I would do the same
I love it
And I like
Stern being like that was my kid
You sick freak
And he just knocks his teeth out
That's kind of fun
Like the dentures I guess
That he got put in after he had
All his teeth ripped out
And even for this like quick second
Where like Anthony Heald is supposed to be toothless
He is game to be like
Ruhmm man man
Like, it's like, it's debasing yourself to the highest degree and he's going for it.
But of course, Gordy's alive saying he's down there.
And then Max has to go down there and they're like on the edge with this tree.
This kid's about to get good sunned.
Oh, yeah.
Like, which let him go.
It's Gordy's the worst one.
I agree.
It's Ann Dowd's kid.
She's right there.
Yeah.
That's true.
I guess you got to save him.
So Max goes down to save him.
And he's like, believe me, I'm scared too.
and they're on this, this, this tree growing out of this side of this cliff.
And he's got a, Gordy's got to let go to grab Max's hand to be pulled up.
And once this happens when that tree goes down, great shot of it going through down this.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, just this tree sliding down.
Then I think they're supposed to be like, I just pretend this was Gordy.
Oh, yeah.
The tree branch is Gordy.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
all.
But whatever. The day is saved.
Great. And then we get this
like outro where it's like the big
scout jamboree
that's happening. Sure. You know
and it's basically the end of Star Wars.
We're all getting medals here. Yes.
Daniel Stern's getting a medal.
The kids all become Eagle Scouts.
He becomes an honorary scout master.
Right. Yes. The punch line is
really weird here at the end.
It's like,
because he's like it's a Brad Sullivan
give it to him. And you're, you're a
scout master. And you know,
because of that, you can take
the kids to Yosemite and he turns to
his kids and he's like, isn't that
great kids? We're all going to Yosemite. Oh,
not just those kids. All
the kids. And they all
descend upon him like zombies
about to devour him.
Yeah, they're about to tear him apart. And they're
grabbing at him and he screams and that's
the end of the movie. I guess
there needed to be a punchline of some kind.
Yeah. Right.
question mark it's weird because it goes from like what you think is a sequel set up at first like bushwhack to yosemite adventure but then it's just child horde and him screaming once again like when he's covered in pigeons and home alone too it's it's that exact scream and that's like a freeze frame on a truly embarrassing facial contortion from daniel stern you know what i think it's a bad angle it's the hot light from the
stage and he's like out his mouth open
my man needs a beard also
just an FYI in terms of looking
looking all right I need
to say no on that
because I think that's key
that's key to him looking as scummy and gross
as he's like that's what makes it work
like you're like solving a problem that
I don't think it's a problem they want to have
and like I do like the idea like
well we're going to have you take
the whole troop to it because well
I'm going to be honest with you we've had a lot of
of accusations against Cubscott leaders.
It's just been a real.
You might be a real problem.
You might be a criminal and a scumbag, Grabowski, but we are way worse with these.
You have no idea.
At least you never diddled anybody.
You got a clean slate as far as diddlin's concern, Grabowski.
And we got rid of all the good gay ones.
So now we're really fucked.
So honestly, we're just going to put it all on you, Max.
You've got it.
But that is the end.
end of the movie and unfortunately
or at least Eric and I think
unfortunately no bushwhack two ever
so sad it's fucked it's fucked
was there a bushwhacked
SDS game
I don't believe so I don't believe so
I think like the closest
movie spin-off thing you had to this is
maybe somewhere in the universe there's a bushwack
novelization
but I think that's probably as far as it goes
shout out to the theatrical poster
which I do own the one she
of. I need to put that back up proudly
because it's painted.
It's like real fucking movie
poster and I'm so tired
of what we get these days of the weird
like here's their heads in a row
CGI at CGI Photoshop
but it's a gorgeous
gorgeous painting of Daniel Stern
holding under a rope from the belay scene
and then them all in the in the river
at the towards the end.
Beautiful poster. I miss
I miss a good painted poster like that.
like in the era of like you'd get painted posters for just like dumb comedies like this too you know like
oh man that era is gone i'm thinking about that fucking horrendous killers of the flower moon poster still
which is just abysmal uh but that is the end of this movie we'll go around the horn here final thoughts
chris cabin a really good movie uh i like it very much i've seen it like 15 20 times i don't know
uh i've seen it a lot i remember seeing in the theaters even um
I, it is just a
it's a showcase for Daniel
Stern to be like, I can make these
faces and make these noises.
Sure. I'm very good at this. Oh, yeah.
And it's honestly, it's a
very good showcase for those things.
If you want those things in your movie,
he does quite a lot and he almost holds
a movie together, I would say, by doing it.
I kind of
I think he healed, I kind of
want a little bit more of him. I don't know where
I would put it exactly, but like
him like being able to just ooze,
certain lines out like
you're a loser
that stuff
really does work
I just don't think we get enough of it
but you know
highly enjoyable
for what it is
it's exactly
it's exactly what it says it is
and I think it does it very well
Steve Saneck
light recommend here
but still a recommend
which is more than I would have thought
I would have given it
before I saw it
I think it's a fun
well
it's not exactly well
made lovingly made i guess it's not one of those movies where you you're like nobody gave a
shit about this apparently like um daniel sturt even defends this movie to this day is like yeah i know
it's like kind of a piece of shit but everybody had fun and i still kind of like it you know it's like
that's where he's landed on it i think that that's a reasonable place to be uh i think you're
right daniel stern so i'll agree with you uh i'll hop in and say yeah it's always the best when
it's like you're having fun at the movies because people making
the movie had fun making
the movie, you know what I mean? And that's, it is
good to hear about that. Hey, Daniel Stern,
you can come on this show anytime we'll talk about
Bushwack. The Daniel Stern Bushwack interview.
Please. We want to get
this cult status. I don't know. And again,
yes, it's because I saw it in
1995. It was
it's that kind of like
edgy,
edgy, you know, comedy for kids
that like, you know, point me to
one now. I'll happily watch it.
But like, it's, it's,
it's aggressively
unsanitized. And I think
that's just, it's interesting.
It's an interesting little time capsule
thing like that, in my view.
Like, they just, they don't
exist like that. And I know they don't make them like this
anymore as a tired fucking thing. And I
feel tired even saying it, but like, I feel
like with the case of Bushwag, it's
totally true. And just
that, yeah, the stern asance,
you know, stern mania
from the 90s, like I was fucking
totally there for it. A rookie of the year
is another one I saw a thousand times as a kid
previous episode too
previous episode that's right
and I think we've also done both
Home Alone movies now
so you know and we did a commentary
on Shud so yeah I don't know I was I grew up
a big fan of
a middle age dude who made me laugh
all the time and I you know
whatever it's it's fucking fun put this movie out on
Blu-ray you fucking cowards at 20th century
studios wherever call yourselves now you fucking pricks
Eric Sisko final word
Yeah, no. I think it is a classic, at least for me. And I just love Daniel Stern. I think the physical comedy he gives here is on par with his home alone work. I just love this movie. And I know that part of that is nostalgia, but it's also nice seeing just like a scumbag-esque character being the lead. I think this might also be because I loved like Army of Darkness, which is like Bruce Campbell being a coward and funny. And I just like that type of character type.
and I just I think people need to see
need to see people should seek this out
if you're into like 90s comedies
and if you've never seen this one
and I know it's like partially a kids movie
it's worth it's worth a spin
and if you know
new parents in home if you don't want your kids
growing up soft show them stuff like Bushwax
that's right show them things from the 90s
where we grew up hard
anyway that is going to do it for

and we'll be happening going forward
with all new We Hate Movies episodes
so you got that looking out for you
and I know that this is the middle of October
and maybe some of Daniel Stern's horrifying screams
qualify this as a spookacular
but we are in the middle of the Halloween spooktacular right now
took a little detour to celebrate 700.
But out now, we have a We Love movies episode,
all about The Exorcist,
the Billy Friedkin masterpiece, of course.
You want to check that out this week.
This week, is that right?

That's at the $5 level and up.
Steve, we have a cartoon animation
Damnation, that's a bit spooky.
We are actually going down to South Park, if you can believe it.
We're something I never thought we'd do on this show, but it was a good idea by Chris,
and we're doing the South Park Corn Halloween special.
We had a lot of fun kind of talking our South Park histories and talking about corn and
New Meddle and stuff.
You'll have a lot of fun if you listen to that.
Absolutely.
And yeah, you know, so the Sputacular did start a week early, of course, with Saw 5, so we
could work this guy in, but don't worry, you're not losing any spookacular.
episodes. As a matter of fact, you're actually gaining a spooktacular episode, Eric Siska.
What am I referencing there? You are referencing our digital worldwide experience that's
going to be happening on October 26th at 9 p.m. at moment.com slash we hate movies. Moment.com slash
we hate movies. Tickets are on sale and you can see us live doing an episode and it's going to be a lot of fun.
there's going to be a replay after for seven days.
So if you can't make it, because we know seven days.
And then you die.
No, no, no, no.
Then I die.
Folks at home, you will not die if you listen to this.
So you...
What movie were you talking about, by the way?
Friday the 13th, part four, the final chapter.
Four.
I almost said Friday the 13th, part 13.
That's how excited I am.
It's part four, the final chapter.
Corey Feldman, Hey, Feldman.
Feldman.
It's Feldman.
It's so weird that they made the last Friday the 13th movie
before they released seven more appearance.
Funny thing to do.
Yeah, Cory Feldman.
And of course, Crispin Glover,
finding the corkscrew in that movie.
And I believe this is also the movie.
I haven't rewatched in a while.
I think this is the one where the sad loser
is murdered watching vintage pornography.
Yes, yeah.
Which that is, that's a laugh a minute, folks.
So moment.com slash we hate movies,
or you can head to whhmpodcast.com.
click on the tour page, the information to get tickets will also be right there.
And again, yeah, if you can't join us live, seven days after you guys know the score,
there will also be the VIP Q&A session that we'll do after the show,
which is also a lot of fun.
So make sure you bundle those ticks when you get that.
You want to get the show and the VIP.
This is an audio and visual experience.
So you can see us actually perform an episode live.
It's a lot of fun.
We've done a few before.
We hope you will join us.
And Chris Cabin, we will.
also have a once in a lifetime this month
that I think is already out on what
motion picture? A killer
under the bed.
Hell yeah. Yep. A doll
movie. A killer doll movie.
Not quite up to the heights of
Stuart Gordon's dolls, but you know
can't ask for miracles.
Not even up to the heights of
puppet masters, dude. I mean this is, it is
a doll in the loosest sense
of the definition. Yes, but
Q and Nond's greatest queen
Christy Swanson will be there.
to help us through it.
And yeah, we look forward to hearing
what you think of this.
And we also have a
syncable commentary coming out this month
on society wherein
it was my first time watching
society and I did it live
and I think sometimes I was really quiet
because I was just stunned.
But you can watch along and be stunned as well.
If you're wondering like, you know,
especially when we get towards like the shunting
like towards the end of the movie there
on the commentary, when Steve goes
quiet. Actually, if you turn it up,
you can hear him just whispering
the horror.
The horror. Repeatedly,
as he sort of like puts water on his face
and just tries not to die.
No, that was a lot of fun. It's a wild-ass movie
from Brian Yuzna.
That, yeah, commentary tracks are always
a lot of fun. And, you know, sometimes folks
sink. Sometimes folks just listen.
You can do both. That'll be available
later this month at the $8 level and
up. But that's the Patreon.
Offerings, The Spooktacular
continues next week. Steve, what movie are we talking about?
Oh, dude, I'm really excited about this one.
Pumpkinhead. That's right.
The first of the Pumpkinhead series.
I think this is more than one.
There's at least two.
Yes. And this movie is a lot of fun.
I really enjoyed it the last time I watched it.
It's, you know, whereas Bushwhacked has zero dead kids.
This movie has at least one dead child in Pumpkinhead.
Yeah, and then a lot of dead teenagers come and
your way.
Yes, absolutely.
I'm, I'm excited, man.
This is a movie I've not rewatched
a really long time,
so I'm pumped to kind of revisit
good old Lance fighting that big
monster.
Is Stan Winston do the effects
for Pumpkinhead?
Sure.
Is that right, Chris Kavan?
I can't remember it.
I seem to remember that.
He might have directed this.
It's a good looking monster.
It is directed by Stan Winston.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, okay.
So, yeah, there we go.
I was not too far off base there.
So until next,
week when we tangle with Lance Hendrickson and Pumpkinhead.
I've been Andrew Jupin.
Steven Sadek.
Eric Sisker.
Chris Kavana.
Take it easy.
Thank you.
