Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:01:04 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.
Starting point is 00:01:15 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
Starting point is 00:01:25 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
Starting point is 00:01:57 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.
Starting point is 00:02:16 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
Starting point is 00:02:32 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.
Starting point is 00:02:46 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.
Starting point is 00:03:08 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.
Starting point is 00:03:21 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,
Starting point is 00:03:31 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
Starting point is 00:03:49 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
Starting point is 00:04:12 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.
Starting point is 00:04:59 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.
Starting point is 00:05:08 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?
Starting point is 00:05:22 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
Starting point is 00:05:32 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
Starting point is 00:05:43 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
Starting point is 00:05:52 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.
Starting point is 00:06:11 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
Starting point is 00:06:27 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
Starting point is 00:06:42 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.
Starting point is 00:06:55 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
Starting point is 00:07:10 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.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Worst movie First of all Yeah Lloyd maybe Yeah So he was supposed Is that true? No no
Starting point is 00:07:31 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
Starting point is 00:07:40 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
Starting point is 00:07:51 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.
Starting point is 00:08:08 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.
Starting point is 00:08:33 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.
Starting point is 00:08:56 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
Starting point is 00:09:14 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
Starting point is 00:09:28 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.
Starting point is 00:09:48 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
Starting point is 00:10:05 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
Starting point is 00:10:21 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
Starting point is 00:10:39 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.
Starting point is 00:10:58 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.
Starting point is 00:11:27 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
Starting point is 00:11:43 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
Starting point is 00:11:58 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
Starting point is 00:12:14 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
Starting point is 00:12:30 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
Starting point is 00:12:46 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.
Starting point is 00:13:04 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.
Starting point is 00:13:16 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.
Starting point is 00:13:39 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.
Starting point is 00:14:00 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
Starting point is 00:14:16 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
Starting point is 00:14:31 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.
Starting point is 00:14:53 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.
Starting point is 00:15:15 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
Starting point is 00:15:32 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.
Starting point is 00:15:48 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.
Starting point is 00:16:06 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
Starting point is 00:16:22 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
Starting point is 00:16:38 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.
Starting point is 00:16:59 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.
Starting point is 00:17:34 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
Starting point is 00:17:52 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
Starting point is 00:18:08 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.
Starting point is 00:18:22 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.
Starting point is 00:18:47 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.
Starting point is 00:19:03 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
Starting point is 00:19:21 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
Starting point is 00:19:34 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
Starting point is 00:19:45 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
Starting point is 00:20:01 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
Starting point is 00:20:19 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.
Starting point is 00:20:53 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
Starting point is 00:21:08 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
Starting point is 00:21:43 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.
Starting point is 00:22:11 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
Starting point is 00:22:26 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
Starting point is 00:22:42 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.
Starting point is 00:23:19 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
Starting point is 00:23:34 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.
Starting point is 00:23:54 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.
Starting point is 00:24:06 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
Starting point is 00:24:42 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?
Starting point is 00:24:53 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.
Starting point is 00:25:05 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
Starting point is 00:25:17 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
Starting point is 00:25:31 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,
Starting point is 00:25:45 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.
Starting point is 00:25:55 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.
Starting point is 00:26:07 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.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Fucking tragedy. I mean, have we mentioned Ann Dowd being the fucking. No, like the hammer. Hell yeah. Looking fantastic. Just absolutely radiant.
Starting point is 00:26:32 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
Starting point is 00:27:03 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.
Starting point is 00:27:24 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,
Starting point is 00:27:44 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
Starting point is 00:28:13 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
Starting point is 00:28:22 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
Starting point is 00:28:31 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
Starting point is 00:28:39 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.
Starting point is 00:28:53 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,
Starting point is 00:29:03 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
Starting point is 00:29:21 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
Starting point is 00:29:37 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.
Starting point is 00:29:54 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.
Starting point is 00:30:12 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?
Starting point is 00:31:05 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.
Starting point is 00:31:21 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
Starting point is 00:31:39 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
Starting point is 00:31:58 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
Starting point is 00:32:36 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
Starting point is 00:32:53 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.
Starting point is 00:33:11 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.
Starting point is 00:33:33 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.
Starting point is 00:33:54 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
Starting point is 00:34:25 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.
Starting point is 00:34:45 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
Starting point is 00:35:02 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
Starting point is 00:35:17 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
Starting point is 00:35:34 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
Starting point is 00:35:50 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
Starting point is 00:36:24 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.
Starting point is 00:36:47 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
Starting point is 00:37:10 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.
Starting point is 00:37:28 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.
Starting point is 00:37:39 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
Starting point is 00:37:56 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.
Starting point is 00:38:32 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.
Starting point is 00:38:48 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,
Starting point is 00:39:12 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
Starting point is 00:39:35 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.
Starting point is 00:39:53 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
Starting point is 00:40:28 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.
Starting point is 00:40:43 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
Starting point is 00:40:56 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
Starting point is 00:41:41 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
Starting point is 00:42:00 with a podcaster on the back I don't ask I have not a question for Steve exactly I mean
Starting point is 00:42:08 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
Starting point is 00:42:14 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
Starting point is 00:42:21 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
Starting point is 00:42:36 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
Starting point is 00:42:52 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
Starting point is 00:43:06 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
Starting point is 00:43:19 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.
Starting point is 00:43:38 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.
Starting point is 00:44:00 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.
Starting point is 00:44:23 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.
Starting point is 00:44:43 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.
Starting point is 00:45:21 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.
Starting point is 00:45:39 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
Starting point is 00:46:11 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.
Starting point is 00:46:33 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
Starting point is 00:46:49 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.
Starting point is 00:47:01 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.
Starting point is 00:47:17 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.
Starting point is 00:47:38 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
Starting point is 00:47:55 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
Starting point is 00:48:14 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
Starting point is 00:48:27 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
Starting point is 00:48:40 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
Starting point is 00:48:54 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
Starting point is 00:49:12 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.
Starting point is 00:49:25 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.
Starting point is 00:49:47 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.
Starting point is 00:50:21 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
Starting point is 00:50:37 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
Starting point is 00:50:53 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.
Starting point is 00:51:14 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.
Starting point is 00:51:36 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
Starting point is 00:51:56 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
Starting point is 00:52:12 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
Starting point is 00:52:27 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,
Starting point is 00:52:46 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.
Starting point is 00:53:04 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.
Starting point is 00:53:12 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,
Starting point is 00:53:27 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.
Starting point is 00:53:45 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.
Starting point is 00:54:08 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.
Starting point is 00:54:16 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
Starting point is 00:54:32 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
Starting point is 00:54:48 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
Starting point is 00:55:03 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.
Starting point is 00:55:22 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.
Starting point is 00:55:43 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.
Starting point is 00:55:55 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
Starting point is 00:56:45 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.
Starting point is 00:56:54 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.
Starting point is 00:57:05 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.
Starting point is 00:57:15 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,
Starting point is 00:57:36 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
Starting point is 00:57:53 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
Starting point is 00:58:10 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.
Starting point is 00:58:29 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.
Starting point is 00:59:11 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.
Starting point is 00:59:29 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
Starting point is 00:59:43 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?
Starting point is 01:00:11 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.
Starting point is 01:00:21 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.
Starting point is 01:00:31 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?
Starting point is 01:00:57 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.
Starting point is 01:01:23 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.
Starting point is 01:01:56 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.
Starting point is 01:02:17 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.
Starting point is 01:02:29 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
Starting point is 01:02:42 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.
Starting point is 01:02:58 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.
Starting point is 01:03:21 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
Starting point is 01:04:04 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
Starting point is 01:04:16 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
Starting point is 01:04:26 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
Starting point is 01:04:50 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.
Starting point is 01:05:02 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.
Starting point is 01:05:10 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.
Starting point is 01:05:20 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,
Starting point is 01:05:36 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
Starting point is 01:05:52 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
Starting point is 01:06:08 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
Starting point is 01:06:24 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
Starting point is 01:06:39 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,
Starting point is 01:06:55 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
Starting point is 01:07:09 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
Starting point is 01:07:25 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
Starting point is 01:07:41 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
Starting point is 01:07:59 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.
Starting point is 01:08:15 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
Starting point is 01:08:34 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
Starting point is 01:09:03 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
Starting point is 01:09:09 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
Starting point is 01:09:18 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
Starting point is 01:09:26 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
Starting point is 01:10:02 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
Starting point is 01:10:09 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
Starting point is 01:10:21 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
Starting point is 01:10:35 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
Starting point is 01:10:49 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.
Starting point is 01:11:03 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,
Starting point is 01:11:12 fucking Dilbert, right. Speaking of Daniel Stern in the 90s. Eap. Yeah. Got about that fucking hell spawn cartoon. Um, but yeah, you know,
Starting point is 01:11:21 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
Starting point is 01:11:52 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?
Starting point is 01:12:10 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,
Starting point is 01:12:26 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.
Starting point is 01:12:47 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
Starting point is 01:13:04 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
Starting point is 01:13:20 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.
Starting point is 01:13:35 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?
Starting point is 01:13:51 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.
Starting point is 01:14:24 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.
Starting point is 01:14:48 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.
Starting point is 01:15:06 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.
Starting point is 01:15:31 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
Starting point is 01:15:48 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
Starting point is 01:16:20 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
Starting point is 01:16:39 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
Starting point is 01:16:58 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
Starting point is 01:17:14 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
Starting point is 01:17:38 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.
Starting point is 01:18:08 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.
Starting point is 01:18:26 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
Starting point is 01:18:41 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
Starting point is 01:18:57 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
Starting point is 01:19:13 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
Starting point is 01:19:40 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.
Starting point is 01:20:23 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.
Starting point is 01:20:39 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
Starting point is 01:20:57 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.
Starting point is 01:21:14 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
Starting point is 01:21:49 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
Starting point is 01:22:07 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
Starting point is 01:22:29 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
Starting point is 01:22:51 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
Starting point is 01:23:07 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.
Starting point is 01:23:22 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.
Starting point is 01:23:35 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?
Starting point is 01:24:07 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
Starting point is 01:24:18 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
Starting point is 01:24:28 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
Starting point is 01:24:38 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.
Starting point is 01:24:49 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.
Starting point is 01:25:17 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.
Starting point is 01:25:35 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.
Starting point is 01:25:54 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?
Starting point is 01:26:14 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,
Starting point is 01:26:25 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?
Starting point is 01:26:37 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.
Starting point is 01:26:56 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.
Starting point is 01:27:12 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.
Starting point is 01:27:33 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.
Starting point is 01:27:56 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.
Starting point is 01:28:22 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.
Starting point is 01:28:44 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
Starting point is 01:29:02 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
Starting point is 01:29:38 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
Starting point is 01:30:13 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
Starting point is 01:30:25 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.
Starting point is 01:30:44 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.
Starting point is 01:30:59 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.
Starting point is 01:31:20 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.
Starting point is 01:31:33 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.
Starting point is 01:31:49 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,
Starting point is 01:32:05 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.
Starting point is 01:32:21 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
Starting point is 01:33:04 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
Starting point is 01:33:20 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.
Starting point is 01:33:41 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.
Starting point is 01:34:00 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
Starting point is 01:34:17 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.
Starting point is 01:34:34 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
Starting point is 01:34:51 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
Starting point is 01:35:25 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.
Starting point is 01:35:43 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,
Starting point is 01:35:59 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
Starting point is 01:36:12 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
Starting point is 01:36:23 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
Starting point is 01:36:49 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
Starting point is 01:37:11 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.
Starting point is 01:37:27 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
Starting point is 01:37:42 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
Starting point is 01:37:58 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
Starting point is 01:38:14 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
Starting point is 01:39:00 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

Starting point is 01:43:37 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.
Starting point is 01:43:53 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
Starting point is 01:44:10 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,
Starting point is 01:44:25 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
Starting point is 01:44:43 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.

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.
Starting point is 01:45:21 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
Starting point is 01:45:32 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.
Starting point is 01:45:43 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.
Starting point is 01:45:56 I've been Andrew Jupin. Steven Sadek. Eric Sisker. Chris Kavana. Take it easy. Thank you.
