Starting point is 00:00:00 This week on the program, crack open a flat beer and get ready to get dumb because we're talking young Einstein. I'm Andrew Jupin. Cricke, Steven Seidac. Young Eric Siska. Tasmanian Chris Cabin. And we hate movies. Hello, everyone, welcome to We Hate Movies. Thank you for tuning in, as always. If you're new to the program, especially if you're finding us down under, this is a comedy show where you take a movie good better or otherwise.
Starting point is 00:01:00 kick it around for a little bit. And this week, yes indeed. We got a good movie. Yahoo! Serious is 1988 feature. Feature debut, Young Einstein. Yes. Thank you, Eric. Thank you so much. Thank you for being the only fan of this movie. Thank you. Thank you. I am
Starting point is 00:01:16 a fan of this movie. It's okay to like a movie. So if you're listening down under where this is, I think, part of like the national anthem. Yes, it is. And of course, I made this movie with my brother, Google Grimm. And we talk about it. And we have other brother. Hey,
Starting point is 00:01:31 come over here. This is Bing. Bing Batty. Do you think any award ceremony, like Nick Cave and the Yahoo series had to introduce an award? Oh, that'd be awesome. Oh, man, brought on stage at the same time. Yeah, exactly. Please welcome Nick Cave and Yahoo! Seriously? Even the announcer's got a question mark.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Oh, yeah, you made that record. Murder ballots? Were those... Did you actually murder anybody? Yes, I did, Yahoo. Oh, dear. Could somebody get a police? A 911, please.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Can I call you anything other than y'all? Yeah, I think that his name kind of did him in. It certainly did. Young Einstein coming down the street with a blunderbuss. Oh, God, oh God, he's got to be your right hand. Speaking of music, I think the soundtrack is awesome. Best part of the four-star sound track. So good.
Starting point is 00:02:21 So good. No doubt about it. No doubt about it. Movies pretty good, too. This is indeed the last week of Listener Request Month here on the show. and we got the call here for the great person that requested this. Let's listen in.
Starting point is 00:02:37 My name is Ryan from Minneapolis and I would like to request a movie I inexplicably saw a million times as a kid young Einstein. Sounds familiar. Yahoo Sirius. The brilliant twisted mind of Yahoo
Starting point is 00:02:56 series. Thank you. Circa, 1989. the summer of Batman It's true That's my movie Ryan's experience In the summer of Batman With yaw is serious
Starting point is 00:03:07 Oh God Oh God We gotta start marking time But like before summer of Batman After summer of Batman That's totally right That's totally right Batman's our new Christ
Starting point is 00:03:18 Batman Forever was like a real fucking I remember that like summer Like that was the summer of Batman For you But for someone a little older 89 was the real summer Yeah, no, mine was, I was not on board
Starting point is 00:03:33 Not that I wasn't on board with Batman, I just did not see that 89 movie in 89. My go to the theater Batman was Returns. I think I saw them all. I think I was there for all of them. But the thing with Forever was like Batman seeing that in the summer is like, Forever or Returns?
Starting point is 00:03:52 I'm saying the first Batman, the summer of Batman, what was weird about it was that it was a winter movie. I was just like watching it. I was like, okay. And same thing with like, I was just like, all right, Batman Forever though, feels like a summer movie. It does.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Colorful, poppy, not really wintery stuff. Not set at Christmas. That's a good thing. Erect nipples on those suits. Oh, so very good. Does suggest winter, but it's not winter. Speaking of erect nipples, let me just play real quick. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:04:21 It's got to do it for somebody. It's the VHS trailer game. I am your Jemaster, Stephen Sade. And these are my clues. It is a really fun game that we play here far too infrequently, which is entirely my fault. Yeah, yeah. See, yell at Steve, everybody. You're fucking saying, where's the game?
Starting point is 00:04:39 Yell at Steve. Exactly. People might think that I'm trying to stop this. No, no, no. Delay, delay, delay. Yes. I've had health issues, folks. We're all doing our best here.
Starting point is 00:04:49 It's also been tied up in the courts. So as you all know, I'm going to give these guys a couple of clues off of the trailer, off of the VHS that I found on YouTube of Young Einstein and Australian VHS, by the way. Oh, dear. But all the movies are American and are of 88, 89. Is Batman? Batman? Yeah, just, you're going to go for Batman right now.
Starting point is 00:05:15 It's 12 points. Eric, you should be happy. He's not on the ballot. Oh, Batman's not on the ballot? No, Steve's not on the ballot. He should be very happy. I'm going to ask these guys a series of questions. and if they buzz in incorrectly, they're out for the round,
Starting point is 00:05:29 but they can go back for the next round. There's going to be four rounds of fun entertainment for the whole goddamn family. I like that. Okay, it's the most stressful part of my life. But you got it pretty good then, dude. I was going to say it. I do.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Round one. Game Masters Clute. Now I'm hard. Okay. A bottom of the barrel, buddy cop comedy combo, starting a multi- Oscar winner that we've covered on this show before also turned to do a Disney
Starting point is 00:05:58 Plus series for some reason Eric Siska. Turner and a Hoot It is Turner and Hootch for five big points. Very nice. Oh my God. Yes, the tagline. Yes, the trivia was Henry Winkler was fired for that movie if you all remember. Vaguely remember that. Yeah, he was fired
Starting point is 00:06:14 from that movie. Good. Because he's like, I got better, I got a long better with Hooch than Turner, if you know what I mean. So we've got round two. So that's a good Turner and Hooch. There it goes. Wow. Funnel that
Starting point is 00:06:27 you could see like Tom Hanks' whole dick in that movie kind of. Yeah. Really? The whole outline.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Tidy White is for sure. Do a fucking Disney Plus show on that. Has Josh Peck shown his penis? Not that I know of.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Not on the Disney Plus show. Oh, well, they got to sneak it in. That's not that they can't get a second season. I was just about to ask.
Starting point is 00:06:47 I don't think so. Um, okay. Round two. Round two. Okay. Game Masters. Clue. A weepy drama that centers on an aspiring singer
Starting point is 00:06:59 and her best pal. That's more likely well remembered for the breakthrough hit song than the movie itself. Late 80s. A weepy drama. Chris Cabin? Beaches? It is beaches. Wow. Yes, of course. The trivia. Chris is the wind
Starting point is 00:07:15 beneath our winds. That is the song, folks. That is the one. Yeah, that's three points. The trivia would have got you guys. The film was famously referenced in the Seinfeld episode, The Understudy in which Jerry's Goldford is reduced to tears by the climactic scene, but leaves him unmoved. Oh, no. Oh, no. I never saw him.
Starting point is 00:07:33 It's horrible. Yeah. What business do I have watching beaches? You know what I mean? It was on TV a lot. I stayed and I watched it. Yeah. And my mom was watching it, you know, but I just, it was like, I've got to go into the room.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Yeah. All right. Good song, though. I like that song. Wouldn't have been in the way. Mom, I got to prepare for the next summer of Batman. You watch beaches. I'll be in the other room.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Watching Batman. All right. Round three. Come on, Andrew. Game Master's Kloot. An anthology film about the greatest city in the world. Crafted by three of the most famous guy. Andrew Jupin. New York Story. It is New York Story. Oh, nice. Greatest city in the world. You just get boom. That's right. I knew it. That's Mr. Scorsese, Mr. Coppillars and Mr. Allen. Uh-huh. Yes. Because one of whom is currently canceled.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Oh, that was the end of the clue. That's a soft one to call him, man. Yeah, it's beyond. Hey, man, we're having secret New York City watch parties for his latest movie. Are they really doing this? Oh, yeah, dude. Don't tell me being canceled is a real thing. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:38 No, it's true. Give me a break. It kind of only helps you. Uh-huh. And the final clue of the round. Yep. Game Master's clue. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:48 The comedic icon wouldn't leave his John Wayne impression at home when he was tasked to lead this prep school drama. A comedic icon wouldn't leave his job of Eric Siska. Dead Poets Society? It is dead Poets Society. Another big five for Eric Sisks.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Man, I just, I could see Robin Williams standing on that fucking desk and I couldn't think of the name of the movie. It's kind of hilarious. The trivia is at the premiere, Kurtwin-Smithsoff family with a father domineering his son very much like
Starting point is 00:09:18 his own character in the film. After the film, Smith, noticed the family leaving and he saw the father was crying. What have I done? Oh, now. Oh, no. He's going to hate me like in the movie. And you see, that's the power of the cinema.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Is that sick fuck learned? I went up to him and I said, bad father, bitches leave. Oh, dude getting roughed up by, imagine getting pushed against the wall by Kurt Wood Smith. I'd evacuate my bow. I would come. So much like Batman, Yahoo! Serious wrapped up in the Warner Brothers. We get the Warner Brothers logo here. And it's fun because there's a didgeridoo blaring immediately letting you know. Wow. Wow. Oh, man. What a what a stupid movie, but like it's, I think it's well-crafted stupid. Well-crafted stupid. Yeah, I mean, I guess I can see that. It's just my feeling on all this is that it's just not.
Starting point is 00:10:21 my kind of stupid. It's just a little too cute, a little too does everybody get it and it drove me fucking crazy. I don't like it is, it feels more than any other movie of this kind. It feels specifically for kids. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:38 There is like a kind of nonsensicalness. There's no engine to this movie. The thing just jumps from scene to scene. It doesn't really go. And I think that's, that's the positive thing I have to say about it. Is that like, that it's 90 minutes of annoying vignettes.
Starting point is 00:10:53 And it seemed to, as a kid, it definitely worked. And as Eric can test, it definitely worked. The engine is the formula, you know? You've got to really think about follow the formula. Sure, that I guess is going through these scenes. I will say what, me and Eric were at the coffee shop earlier and we discussed
Starting point is 00:11:09 discussing this. It is it's a physical comedy. Like most of it is, he's the entity. And at the time, we were pre-Cary. We were pre-Fairly brothers at their peak. It is kind of unique that something like that existed in 89, because I don't know what
Starting point is 00:11:27 other movie was trying this kind of humor. I mean, the physical comedy in the 80s was like Chevy Chase, which was kind of restrained. I mean, how many different ways can you fall down the stairs? Exactly. And, you know, just bringing up Jim Carrey's interesting. I mean, this movie does have problematic moments, but so does I spender one hand to. That's what I was going to say. It's better.
Starting point is 00:11:47 It's less problematic than both of those movies. Sure. I will give it that. That's absolutely true. Yes. My thing that was like similarly, though, how many times can Chevy Chase fall downstairs differently? How many times can Yahoo Sirius fall through things differently?
Starting point is 00:12:01 He's falling through things left and right in this movie. If you're not laughing, you're in trouble, dude, then you're just like, shit. That dude, when the first, like, whatever the big first joke is, and it just, it did not land for me in the slightest. I was like, oh, no. It's just going to be more of this. I was totally, like, I've, I've known,
Starting point is 00:12:21 of Yahoo series. I've rightfully stayed away as if it was fucking rat poison. So I didn't really, really know what I was getting myself into. And the, here's when, oh, actually, this, I remember the joke because it's right at the start. He's giving himself a literal bowl cut. And you're like,
Starting point is 00:12:37 oh, that's silly. And then he takes the bowl off and he's got a wacky haircut. And I was just dead inside. I was like, oh, no, this ain't going to work. Because like, that's the, that lets you know that he's in love with rock and roll. And this is where the kids come in. I think he had an MTV.
Starting point is 00:12:53 He had an MTV something or other? He did. It was a really. Oh, no. There was a primetime special about him or something like that. Interesting. Well, we had like us all see fever. We did.
Starting point is 00:13:07 In the United States for a while, right? Paul Hogan, of course. Oh, my God. We couldn't walk down the street without a crocodile Dundee. There's a pretty good documentary about it called Not Quite Hollywood. Oh, that's a great. Yeah, yeah. about Osploitation, the whole, the big,
Starting point is 00:13:22 it was going on for like five, six years. Like, I feel like since 84, this was happening. Right. They started selling Subaru's on American streets. And before you know it, Yahoo! Serious, is it coming to your theater? We let those prison islanders in, and that was it. So we are told it is the spring of 1905 in Tasmania,
Starting point is 00:13:43 which I will say another thing, I will give this movie. Yes, good soundtrack. I love all of the beautiful, like, panopies. ceramic shots of Australia. What a gorgeous place for such a stupid person to live. You know, I mean, right off the bat, like, I think this, I saw this thousand times as a kid, just like the caller. Did you own the VHS? I don't. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I think it was I had to tape, though. I had the tape. Oh, yeah. How did they dodge? Columbia House. That was, I think we only had two copies of that one. Okay. We went toward the trifact on that boy. But one of the
Starting point is 00:14:18 first early jokes that I really resonated with me to this day was the father talking about like oh you know the balance of nature and this that and the other thing and then goes out of his way to step on a frog that's a good joke and then later on when you're looking at the grand vista
Starting point is 00:14:34 of this valley son I want you to damn it drown the whole wildlife and one go yeah I mean honestly there are things that I laughed about in this movie or laughed at literally none of them had anything to do with Yahoo series yeah it was all shit like that.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Yes. You know what I mean? Well, that makes sense. Well, it's only, the, the comedy engine is zany. This kind of reminds me of if, like, if Monty Python wasn't smart. Do you know what I mean? Because Monty Python, like, they always do like historical, big historical jokes about, you know what I mean, the Spanish Inquisition.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Sure. You know what I mean? The Life of Christ and blah, blah, blah. And it's like, this is like, I don't know, Einstein. I'm not going to do a whole bunch of research. He's all right. He's got the big old hair. I got the big old hair.
Starting point is 00:15:17 You know, that's the thing. It's like, yes, there was not a, the Spanish Inquisition wasn't using a puffy chair to hurt people. Like, the premise is so stupid, like with Monty Python, that you either have to instantly be on its side or not. Yes. Yeah. I mean, it's just weird to me, like, with that Python stuff you're talking about, though, you know, like you're doing the stuff with Christ. Yes. It's in the time of Christ.
Starting point is 00:15:41 There's someone playing Jesus Christ. The Spanish Inquisition, period appropriate, all that stuff. what drives me crazy is that this movie, it's a world in which the real Albert Einstein does not exist. It's this Tasmanian dude, but then like Marie Curie,
Starting point is 00:15:58 who was a real person, is arguably the same Marie Curie. And like, my brain cannot justify this. It's so frustratingly stupid. Like, where is Opi's Albert Einstein? He doesn't exist in this world. And I hate it. I fucking hate it. So, yeah, I mean, like, I guess
Starting point is 00:16:14 Opi would have to be like, what, like a fashion designer, like a shitty fashion designer. I do understand that because like Curry in this movie, she should be like, I don't know, like a mixologist or something that is like what she actually was but is a little punkish.
Starting point is 00:16:35 That's funny because once we get to the Science Academy Awards at the end of the movie, they do the alternate version with the Wright brothers. One of them is black and one of them is white and it's kind of them talking with those like American accents. It's kind of funny. If you hung on to the premise a little bit more and expanded
Starting point is 00:16:52 the world, I might be into this. But let's not, don't mix it up. This is a showcase for Yahoo! Serious. And if you are not 100% always entertained by him, you are fucked for good with this movie. You know, it's fair. I know most people
Starting point is 00:17:10 hate this movie. It's okay to hate a movie. It better be. I guess my whole thing was just like years and years of hearing about this movie, I just assumed he was maybe like a secret son of Einstein or just some other Einstein. And then the movies unfolding. He's pumping into some
Starting point is 00:17:26 Tasmanian woman. And he's like the bastard son of Albert Einstein or something. And then I was like, oh no, this guy's just supposed to be the Albert Einstein. Fuck this. Yeah. You don't get any Walter Mathau in a nice wig. Oh, my kingdom for some Walter Mathau in this movie. And I would
Starting point is 00:17:42 presuppose that Papa Einstein here of Einstein Farm Wouldn't let the real Albert Einstein on his farm, if you know what I mean. The blunderbust would come out. What was he? What, what, what's that? He's a what? He's a what.
Starting point is 00:17:56 They got those over here? I don't think so. Okay. You know, I was nice to the Tasmanian devil, but you, sir. That, this is the real devil. That gag is kind of so incredibly stupid. It flies all the way around the sun of stupidity back to being kind of funny. There you go.
Starting point is 00:18:15 this little person in a Tasmanian devil like puppet kind of in the critters universe. Yes. It looks, the Tasmania devil looks like a critter. And he does. The bite mark and the shovel. I don't know. I was giggling. You got to give that guy a chance
Starting point is 00:18:31 to go on the road with Albert Einstein. Oh, that guy, you see him like going off into the valley or something at one point. I think he pops up at the end very briefly and I was like, no, no. The father? No, though, the Tasmanian devil. The father similarly just pops up. here and there once the movie gets going. But I was like, no, no, no, take that little monster
Starting point is 00:18:49 on the road with you and you got to hide them at your fleabag motel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Preston, Preston, Preston wants to dissect it. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Or fuck it. That guy's got problems. Preston, real scumbag. Of the Perth, Preston's. Yes. We are introduced to the family. They own an apple farm. This guy's just eating apples in every scene, also very annoying. Because we're also doing the play on Isaac Newton every chance to get. Because I guess, you know, once Einstein came along, that guy was old hats.
Starting point is 00:19:19 But he, I mean, because he's literally under a tree and a thing fucking hits him on the head. He's got a little phone with him. And like, is he supposed to be Newton as well? Is that supposed to be folded into this? Newton's a celebrity in this because everyone's reading his book or whatever.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Yeah, later on. Oh, right. Which is called young. He called young Newton. Oh, that's fun. young fig Newton but he does tell his mother what goes up
Starting point is 00:19:45 must come down didn't it and then she goes he says that's learning in Australia she just goes because that dude this poor woman
Starting point is 00:19:56 every scene she might as well just be going yeah that's all we're doing with this poor woman there's a lot of like I don't want to have
Starting point is 00:20:03 sex with my wife jokes going absolutely they're absolutely she is so fucking horny and this poor Papa Einstein just not bring himself to sleep with his own wife.
Starting point is 00:20:12 I mean, that's why the Tasmanian devil keeps coming by. Oh, yeah. She gets crittered every night. Dude. Have you been fucking the critter? You talk to me right now. It's like when Winona Ryder fucks Dracula Werewolf in the Coppola. Don't give me that Looney Toons bully, bully.
Starting point is 00:20:29 He like goes through the roof at some point. That's kind of fun. Well, so is this like where, so the dad like sort of says like this is our little beer shed or whatever. and here's the flat beer we've been drinking. Let's forget the fact that fucking monks have been actually making real beer for hundreds of years. Let's pretend that doesn't exist also.
Starting point is 00:20:48 You got to let go of something. What I do like about this in the shed with the beer stuff, it's like the dad has a holster for his Pilsner glass. Oh, yeah. It's kind of fun. And those are big Australian glasses, man.
Starting point is 00:21:02 They don't make any small than that. That's right. Another good gag that has nothing to do with the performance of Yahoo series is like, I don't know if it's, It's before or after the dad explains the beer thing or whatever, but it's a going to bed scene and he's like, good a light, dad, good a like, mum.
Starting point is 00:21:18 And there's a sheep in the house. And the sheep just goes, good night. Yeah, I was like, I wanted more of that guy too. Like, let's do it. I thought the sheep was going to be talking repeatedly throughout the movie. Never again. It's a one-off joke. I was let down once again by this movie.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Oh, my God. And then once we finally, like, it's like, you know, the Einstein's, we put on the map once we split, you know, put bubbles in beer or whatever. And he gets the idea to split the. beer at him. Uh-huh. And he's in the shed tinkering at night or whatever. And it's like, where's that chisel? Yeah. I just, I don't know. I like the idea. Right. Yes. It is so stupid. And then it explodes. Like in a light little atomic reaction. That is a very like
Starting point is 00:21:59 Simpsons gag. Like a car lightly bumps into a tree and explodes. Good explosion. Good like mini mushroom cloud. Yes. The wind on the father where you running out to see what's what the commotion is. And now, Andrew, you had said that there's two black face gags. I don't think this is a black face gags. I don't count this. This is just a loony tunes. Sometimes while it just gets covered in soot.
Starting point is 00:22:22 I know, but like the last one is absolutely a black face. Yes, it is. But here's why the first one, though, I feel you're right enough, but it leans into it only because, like, it's kind of getting a little too close to the electric fence. Only because, like, when you are, you know, doing makeup on a person for an explosion gag, you make it look a little more like a blast, which is to say like the mark around
Starting point is 00:22:45 the face with the makeup is uneven. This is all very smoothly, tightly, perfectly done as if it's a fucking grease paint thing. And it's just, they did a bad job at not making it look like a black face. And also, if this is
Starting point is 00:23:01 law and order, Jack McCoy would use the ending to be like, well, that was the point the whole damn you wanted people thinking of it. from the start, didn't you? You paid it off, didn't you? Had to bring it back around. I don't get the joke
Starting point is 00:23:17 here where he's like, so he's that night like sort of thinking about the explosion and he's all obsessed with splitting the beer at him and getting bubbles into beer. That's like the thrust of the movie. And he's like walking by a crick singing Hava Naguila.
Starting point is 00:23:33 And my question is, where is the joke? Like, what is funny about that? I, shit, man. I actually forgot about that. I don't even remember it, but I guess the joke is Albert Einstein was actually Jewish in real life. Yeah, I guess that's sort of the only thing. And he was very clearly not,
Starting point is 00:23:49 I guess. Because it's just this Australian walking by like, ah, bad. And I mean, not saying what are you singing? What are you singing? You know, for property. It's been outlawed in Australia. I'm not saying there's not, you know, Jewish Australians, of course. But like, this
Starting point is 00:24:05 character, such as it is, is not. No. And then to have him singing that song. I was just like, all right, let's just keep the movie going, I guess. It's a very deep joke. I do like the idea that every time someone hums the song, just a bunch of guys with pitchforks come over the nearby. Just every time it starts. Just trying to get him. So he is, you know, figured out how to split the beer at him. The big explosion happens. I do, again, the dad, very funny, I think. Like, his son is, you know, just been in this massive explosion and he's got the beer and he takes the sip and he's like, oh, good head too. It's like,
Starting point is 00:24:39 great pour on top of everything else. So he's going to set off for the mainland because they are in the island part of Tasmania there. And he's got this little boat and he's just going to go off and I got to patent this dead and then we're going to be rich. So that's the whole thing he's got to get to the mainland
Starting point is 00:24:55 to the patent office. And now and again, soundtrack is a banger. This song. Hell yeah. Is great. Icehouse is great southern land. They play it three times in the movie. Oh, played three more, please. It takes so much time off the clock. He is just like going he's just kind of going around
Starting point is 00:25:11 Australia at this point like it's like I'm in the cold pot now and then of course he's with the Aborigine for a moment that part is not great I do like him walking through the desert though that's kind of like desert into snow that's kind of a good location it's showing the arduous
Starting point is 00:25:27 journey and this movie does multiple times kind of just fall into like music video land yes that's right and like especially towards the end when he's playing the energy out of the bomb yeah it is like that is a music video It's a music video slash. It could also be like a serial commercial.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Like I feel like Yahoo series would have cleaned up doing 90s serial commercial. And maybe that's where he belonged. You know, like Jim Varney started with commercial. Right, right, right, right. Yeah, local, like local car dealership. Start with that. Yeah, like the Subaru dealership, Yahoo! Serious here for the Subaru.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Is that 1990 outback? You've seen at least one more of the three written and directed Yahoo series movies. Yes, I saw Reckless Kelly. Reckless Kelly. I did not see the other one I don't think Mr. Accident. No, yeah, I did not see that. I saw Reckless Kelly. It's way worse, way worse. Is he like the same
Starting point is 00:26:16 kind of like wacky-haired persona? Like I was just thinking in terms of like earnest. Yeah, I mean, he's got a long hair. I think he is kind of a wacky persona. It's not really blown up though. I think he wears it down in that way. Well, that's what's kind of funny. At one part in this movie when he's like going to pick up Marie Curie for like
Starting point is 00:26:32 a pseudo date or something, he's got flowers. And his hair is like actually combed and tied back. I was like, yeah, I'm a serious is actually a really handsome dude. Of course. That looks like a total jackass throughout this movie. Memory serves reckless Kelly is like, you know, folk hero and he becomes like a celebrity.
Starting point is 00:26:47 And it's like commentary on like the American celebrity culture. And it's just sort of like. It's also true of this. Yeah, I guess so. And then it's also doing the whole, him help in his people. And you got Hugo weaving as a villain. Ooh, step up.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Very Agent Smith ask too. Oh, really? And his suit and tie. Mr. serious. I do have to give points to that because there's nobody I know. That's yeah. So that I realized after it happened so a couple days ago remember Eric when you were like what's better this or chairman of the board and I said chairman
Starting point is 00:27:23 of the board you're out of your fucking mind your monocle fell into your suit. I was shocked here's what it is though Chris just helped me nail on the head there's people in that movie that I know about and like for Australians it's different of course The chairman of the board, you got Courtney Thorne Smith brain poison. That's what that's about. Larry Miller and all those board guys that are recognizable. Glenn Shadix. Some of the, I do like him.
Starting point is 00:27:50 I mean, some of the people in here that are not, didn't go on to anything. Like the father, P.W. Wilson, I thought he would have had a career, apparently not. With a name like that. But I think he's a rock and roll guy. Is he? But he was, I thought he was funny in this. It's not like there's not funny people in this. It's just that, like, they're not given enough because it's a showcase, they're not given enough for me to be like, oh, I'm getting to know this person.
Starting point is 00:28:13 That's fair. You know, but the thing is like with films like this in Australia, this is the start of building the film industry there. And it's not a tax credit haven yet. Well, that's, I mean, like, look, we'll talk about it later. But really, the fact that Wake and Fright wasn't the biggest hit in the history of Australia is frankly disgusting. Well, that's a tough movie, man. But I don't care. That should have started a new Australian Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:28:40 I do think Yahoo Sirius could have been in a Mad Max movie for sure. Oh, for sure. Oh, yeah, it's a Mad Max character. Absolutely. It looks like one. It definitely smells like one. To be clear, he would be being absolutely beaten to shit by the villain. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Constantly picked on nonstop. But yes, he could be there. It's just funny to me that, like, Australia had this, like, massive run, like, from whatever, like, mid to late 70s, thinking on Wake and Fright. is definitely sad. Mad Max. Mad Max. All that stuff. Just like really just skyrocketing all these like wild crazy movies, all this shit that it's like Paul Hogan and Yahoo series are what really transferred over to America. That's, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:29:19 But then the Australian film is, did they close the blinds? It didn't work out. It's time for project replacement. We're going to replace all the American men with our own. It's started with you, little Russell Crow. Right. Are you ready, little Russell Crow? I mean, yeah, like, look at a film like romper stomper. Like, I kind of like, wow, I mean, this guy went on to Hollywood fame.
Starting point is 00:29:42 It was sort of, it's just a lot of these movies were just launching pads. And this was a failure to launch. I don't know what the film, but. I was spying. I was spying inside of Australia Warner Brothers. And I heard something. I can't get it on my head. They kept on talking about the Hemsworth Protocol.
Starting point is 00:29:59 I don't know what the fuck that, what could possibly that be. Operation Cricky right there. Like the Ep Weapon X programs, like six of them in tubes. Just shelves of Hemsworths. That's the thing is like half of the city of Los Angeles is Australian or British. Yes. That's it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Half of the city. Because they give you style, I suppose, is the idea. It's like that, like, Crocodile Dundee, the whole reason that thing crossed over is because, like, oh, man, he's got this hat and this vest. I could pretend to be this guy. Yeah. Oh, my God. I could pretend to be this guy. A lot of Americans buying Paul Hogan has, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:30:38 And I think, you know, like, I have no idea about Australia. Never been. Would love to. Oh, yeah. Tell your friends about the show. But I imagine at least the UK and stuff. Like, they don't treat theater as like, oh, that's gay. Don't do that song.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Yeah, yeah. You know, it's, and there's actual money for the arts. Like, my school didn't have any, my school didn't have theater. My school had none of that. Well, this movie was partially financed by Australia. Like, they love to do that shit. there. I mean, it's amazing when you see stuff like that. Like dumb comedies
Starting point is 00:31:08 like this, government funding. You see a lot of like the horror boom right now that's coming out of Ireland and has been for the past few years. All of that for the most part, government financing. And I'm like, I just watched a woman split a guy in half with a hacksaw and the government paid for part of it.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Amazing. Bar, we're not going to be finance of these Yahoo serious pictures. Can't be doing it. We need more programs like that. I think Germany's been closing. those programs or whatever, but like Herzog, Rainer-Vunner-Fosbender, all these people came out through that assistance. Going to go after the
Starting point is 00:31:42 welfare queens and then the Yahoo Siriuses. Those young Yahoo! Seriouses ain't going to get any of the money. We will defund you and I am Yahoo serious about that. Although you know what? We are going to have to, we're going to have to put some money into this
Starting point is 00:31:57 Bronson fella. I do believe that he's got the Coda's silence. I've heard of it. It sounds like a phenomenal picture. Kinjite. Real crazy movie there, Barr. Only Charles Bronson
Starting point is 00:32:12 movies are funded by George H.W. Bush, which now is like we're in like Death Wish for a terrier. Right. We're going to get to the Death Wish business bar. Hold on, Barr. Cannon Films is on the line. They let me name one, Barr. It's the evil that
Starting point is 00:32:28 men do. Isn't that a snappy one? Actually, Barr, if you look closely, you'll see one of my CIA assassinations right on screen. I gave him a good idea. Oh, there his head goes. Looks like a special effect, doesn't it, Barr? I thought
Starting point is 00:32:43 Golem and Globus were asking me the time, so I said 10 to midnight. I was naming a movie. I just call myself Mr. Majestic when I'm going outside. That is a fantastic title, Mr. President. So we are on
Starting point is 00:33:00 this train. This is where we are indeed introduced to Preston Preston of the Perth Preston's and a fake Marie Curie of sorts. The Preston, Preston character of being like this dumb, blathering, fail, son, rich kid, you know? Who just sees scams? I mean, that does, it's prophetic in a way. Like, yeah, I like him a little bit, but I kind of wish they played up his, like,
Starting point is 00:33:25 disgustingness and humiliation. Like, minute he meets curiosity, but, oh, would you, would you like to shout at me a little bit? Yeah. Would you like to kick me anywhere? He tries to speak French to her and he says I want to eat your suitcase which is kind of funny
Starting point is 00:33:38 And he's like, like I want to eat your box kind of thing? I think he tried to say box He accidentally said suitcase. Yeah, exactly. And he's like mansplaining how like a gramophone works to her Like see the little grooves in the little vinyl disc The vibrations Yes, very louder! Or whatever. I want a prize
Starting point is 00:33:59 Like oh that's cute. She's like yeah, it's the Nobel Prize It's fun. It's fun. there, you know, she won the Nobel Prize. Dude, and, like, this is my worst nightmare on any like transportation like this. You've got a comfortable groove going. You've been traveling for a while. You got your stuff
Starting point is 00:34:15 on your bench seat, just how you like it. And then the train stops at the next station and a dust-covered monster gets on and sure shit, he's sitting in your car. And I'm sorry, he must smell like shit. He has to. You don't see him bathe on this trip. Well, it's
Starting point is 00:34:31 1905. I think everybody he was bathing. Everyone smelled like shit. Every single one. Even Marie Curie is just the shit radiating off. Yeah, you're buying like colognes, which are just supposed to douse you in a sense so that you smell like nothing else but that. People used to do what? Like once a week? Once a month?
Starting point is 00:34:49 I mean, yeah. You're brushing your teeth for a company only. Yeah, Jake Gyllenhaal, he doesn't do either of those things. Is he not? Pardon me? He doesn't bathe. Oh, really? Jillenhall doesn't bat? There was a whole thing about it online. Really? I missed this one. You missed this?
Starting point is 00:35:04 I missed this one. Wow. Is he one of those weird purists? Like, oh, I like my sense and my musk. My own body will regulate itself. Congratulations, Jake, you smell like shit. Yes. I also don't come because I don't like my essence to leave.
Starting point is 00:35:19 This was a whole thing about like how what celebrities don't shower and someone like mentioned the rock and the rock chimed in about like actually brother I shower three times a day. He has to. And he went through his whole routine about like he wakes up and he does like a. a cold shower or something gotta get the blood flow and got a cold plunge it and then he works out
Starting point is 00:35:39 and then like he takes a lukewarm one and then after and then at night when he gets home from work whatever that is I guess I guess I guess acting or working out for his job he could be doing that so before bed apparently he takes another one I mean that's you would have
Starting point is 00:35:55 to if you work out as much as the rock does you have to be but now I'm thinking about Jill and Hall doing all that training for roadhouse and I'm like you're not showering after that your balls have to have like their own fucking civilization down there. Oh, it's Heinz Vinegar down there. Let me look it up just to be sure I don't want to be talking out of the school. Well, the rock is got to be slippery. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:36:14 Like that guy's got like nobody here whatsoever. Nothing. He comes out of the shower. You try and catch him. You try and catch it. Yeah, there's nothing to hold the scent with him, I guess. Us Magazine, Jake Jiln Hall admits that he finds it unnecessary to shower off. No, it's necessary. It's quite necessary. I will say this. If I had the looks of a Jake Gyllenhaal I was getting laid like a Jake Gyllenhaal, I might also, and I wasn't hearing complaints,
Starting point is 00:36:39 I might also be fine with it. I just have to say, like, if you're not showering after them roadhouse workouts, and then like some ladies are about to go downtown, she's getting a face full of something. I can't imagine she wants to finish the adventure. The pheromones, you know, you don't want to block them up too much. That's true. That's true.
Starting point is 00:36:56 It's okay, Jake Gyllenhaal says, I do also think that there's a whole world of not bathing that is also really helpful for skin maintenance. We naturally clean ourselves. I do, but he does mention he does brush his teeth. Well, that's, oh, what a good on shake for that. What a gift. I mean, there's, there are dudes out there crazy protein raw meat eat motherfuckers that do not even
Starting point is 00:37:19 brush their teeth. They're just like, everything that was in the Bible is just what I'm going to be doing. I mean, the raw meat guys are going to die within the next five years. It's, don't worry about them. Oh, I need is one healthy, uh, plague of a mad cow disease to infect our beef over here. It's just you don't know what you're doing to your body with that, my
Starting point is 00:37:37 friend. But like, but like to there is this whole world of like hair and skin maintenance that does have something to do with not cleansing that much that I have no idea about. I know it exists but I do not know about it. It sounds like honestly Eric, you're saying this is a Jake general. It sounds like shit Aaron Rogers should be
Starting point is 00:37:53 saying. Because it's the dumbest bottom of the barrel dip shit sounding stuff, which is where Aaron Rogers is at all times. Let's not lose the smelly fans here, guys, it's okay to like a shower or not like a shower. It's okay to smell like shit, I guess. Just know that when you walk away from people who don't smell like shit, they all in their circle go, that dude smelled like shit. And if you don't care about that, I guess that's fine, but that's pretty embarrassing. Listen, my shit is naturally
Starting point is 00:38:21 cleaning my body right now. It's natural. But Curie is obviously immediately drawn to Yahoo serious. Oh, yeah, intellectually and sexually. Exactly, young Einstein himself because he's a tall, skinny dude. He's like, hey man, that shit's always in fashion. So we do get to, you know, the big city. And this is, I was doing so much shazaming here. But as he gets into town, this is big pigs hungry town. Nice. Kind of another great song here. And this is Einstein, the big city goes directly to that patent office. What was it? What was it? Big Pig. Big Pig is the. the band and the song is Hungry Town. Both those things sound like it's a
Starting point is 00:39:03 Mad Max words. We got to get the guzzling to Hungry Town. Bring Big Pig with you to Hungry Town. Send Big Pig to deal with them. Exactly. And then they just cut to a shot of the most terrifying six-foot motherfucker you've ever said.
Starting point is 00:39:19 I'm Big Pig. Are you sure that's not who Kemsworth is playing in this new one? Is he Big Pig? He looks fucking crazy in that movie. Weird nose. nose going. I'm excited to see him do something else. I'm excited
Starting point is 00:39:33 to see him do something stretch out in the natural accent. You know, obviously he's not talking in his natural voice, which is actually good because I think he could probably do a fun voice in his accent. If that makes sense. Yeah. As a person like, just being yeah. That flat, it doesn't work. You just don't sound like a person.
Starting point is 00:39:50 No. People talk about. No. I mean, because that was when he came out at the Oscars with Anya Taylor Joy, which also, do you guys noticed during that Oscar ceremony, when people were coming out clearly paired up because they have projects coming out. Sure. Like Furiosa. David Allen Greer, as the announcer, wasn't given any lines to say, like,
Starting point is 00:40:07 from the new Furiosa. It was just like, please welcome Chris Hemsworth and Anya Taylor Joy. And I was like, from Furiosa. And it wasn't happening. It happened multiple times. Very weird. But I was thinking about that because he's just talking like Chris Hemsworth, of course, it's just an award ceremony. He's talking like up to himself. And I was like, fucking Furiosa is going to be awesome because he's just going to talk with his.
Starting point is 00:40:28 accent. And there's one less thing my ears have to worry about with that movie. I do think also, if you being in a George Miller movie is like being knighted in Australia. You pass into a special area there. Speaking to George Miller, by the way, one of the guys
Starting point is 00:40:45 in the insane asylum later in the movie was the writer of the first Happy Feet movie. Oh, wow. Yeah. No wonder who's in the sane asylum. I got this crazy bits about Penguins. They're dancing.
Starting point is 00:40:59 It's going to be funny. Lock him up. Throw away the K. Yeah, yeah. He keeps on saying he has happy feet. I don't know what that is. But he goes to the patent office and they're like, we can't patent a formula.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Get out of here. But he leaves the formula, which is a very foolish. Yeah, because he's just a big, dumb idiot. What should we do, sir? Patten your head? Oh, yeah, because he says, but it's all in my head.
Starting point is 00:41:21 What's what you'd like us to do? Yeah, yeah. Make an invention. Do it. Then he goes. Just real question, because I've never been to a patent office? Oh, I've been like 15 times.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Really? You're like, oh, you've never been. But like, is it always this packed like a post office on a Saturday morning? So many people trying to patent like inventions and shit that day. Well, again, if you want to talk about a business, the internet ruined.
Starting point is 00:41:47 That's true. It's true. You know, maybe it's just a place for inventors to hobnob, go down to the patent office. I mean, it used to be like a cornerstone of the social worth of a Albert Einstein and all the buddies
Starting point is 00:42:01 was just like you know I might think of something I'll just hang out at the patent office if I think up something I can just put it right there no problem chew the fat with the local constable smoke a cigar oh I got a great yeah I just invented something I'll be right back you know there's no tally
Starting point is 00:42:17 yet you know what my tree buddy is here I'm going to go hang out with my tree buddy in the forest and he's going to tell me about how beautiful structures they are oh I thought you meant a weed dealer James Urbaniac. God damn it. Okay, yes. He goes to a flop house on Lonely Street, which is another funny visual gag that has nothing to do with the acting prowess of Yahoo series. Sexophone playing. Exactly. He's a better filmmaker than an actor. That's what I was saying exactly. You're right. I agree. I agree. He's got good animal wranglers. A lot of live animals on there. They were all harmed in the production. And you didn't have to wrangle shit, dude. They just couldn't get him out of the shot. Like, all. Kangaroo. I guess you just hang out here. We'll roll film. Runs the fellas prosies, doesn't he? Oh, he certainly
Starting point is 00:43:02 does, dude. Who had to go on to Mary? It was a producer of this film, Lulu Pinkus. Oh, is that right? The blonde, I think she's the blonde prostitute. Okay. Is she also in Mad Max? No, not that I Lulu Pinkis? Lilu Pinkis should be in Mad Max. Oh, we got to get Lulu
Starting point is 00:43:18 Pinkis to Cigarette City. Big Peg's got to rescue her. Lady Lulu. Sorry, Big Pig, but Lady Lulu's in another castle. Yes. Yeah, sorry. We were going to bring out the guitar guy, but we really ran out of guests. It's actually kind of quite useless in this world to be wasted gasoline on so many flamethrowers.
Starting point is 00:43:40 If we're so worried about gasoline, you see, why would we need flamethrowers for him? It doesn't make it less important to call it guzzelline. It's still a problem. Man, I love it when they say guzzal. It's so great. Oh, it just tickles your ear just right, doesn't it? It does. So, yeah, these sex workers come up here, and I guess so Yahoo's bride to be there is like,
Starting point is 00:44:04 oh, what's that in your pocket big boy? And a really dumbass, it's a compass. And then after he pulls out this huge compass, there's a boy, oh, yo, yoing sound effect in there. I was like, is it a boner or is it a compass? You can't have both. I've sometimes followed mine, but not in like a mapping way. No, no, no. Yeah, you've got your
Starting point is 00:44:26 divining around, if you know what I mean. Yes. Definitely. You walk with your boner until it senses moisture. It starts to point down towards it, and you just leap.
Starting point is 00:44:37 These are things that farmers have known for years. Absolutely. So Preston is at some sort of like city social, I think they call the aristocrats club. This is, he brings Marie Curie here, and he's sort of like kind of trying to flirt it up. He's trying to try and his best.
Starting point is 00:44:54 trying his best. And this is what he kind of, does he reveal that he stole it or? Well, he's like, yeah, the poor bugger thought that he could patent a formula, blah, blah, blah, which I have right here. And it like, it cuts immediately to him going to this Bavarian beer hall and showing these dudes like, hey, this piece of paper that says E equals MC squared. This is how we'll carbonate your beer. That's a joke. Uh-huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Meanwhile, you know, young, I think Young Einstein, he gets a job at the patent office. Yes. One point, Preston, Preston takes him in under Muri Curie's. Give him a job, help him out. Yes, yeah, yeah. He's eventually fired from that job because he's, you know, he's not good at math or whatever, just like the real Einstein, right? Remember what he said to Opie, like the, like maths were never my thing.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Right, like that one thing we share in common is a disdain for mathematics. Right. Well, he also, this is, uh, him, Albert Einstein working at a patent clerk office is also very, very famous in Ghostbusters, which was where I think Mr. Serious did most of his research. Einstein was a patent clerk. You have any idea what a patent clerk earns? Yeah, so he gets let go
Starting point is 00:46:06 from that job. We do have little interludes here that of him inventing surfing. Yes, of course. Chisling the wood. Him making this. Again, this was another I just, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:46:21 It's fun and outrageous and wackadoo rock and roll, man. Yahoo, what can you do? We'll make the character do what you could surf. Okay, he's going to invent surfing. How about that? You know what? And he's just going to invent all kinds of wacky shit. Marie Curie is like instantly wet for this dude because he's surfing on the beach.
Starting point is 00:46:41 He's so dusty. He invents rock and roll through inventing the electric violin. That's one of the first thing. I mean, we're going all over the fuck up. It's totally fine. I'm getting lost. in my notes and a movie I can barely remember so bear with me. This movie's short,
Starting point is 00:46:55 it's fine, we're going to get through with it. And again, no engine. So like it just, it keeps on happening. He invents this electric violin or whatever and he does get jazzy jeffed out of the patent office at that point. And I was like, but why? Yeah, that's an invention. What a wild thing
Starting point is 00:47:11 that this is. You're not ready for rock and roll. You're not ready for it. He's, okay, that's close. But of course, patent, I mean, Patent I mean, Patent clers can, I don't know if you guys know the law, but they can say no to things that are annoying. If they see something that sounds or looks annoying,
Starting point is 00:47:26 they're like, you know what? No, that's not going to happen. It's the jazzy jeffing of it all, Chris Cabin, that I find egregious. But they let the clapper through? They did. That's true. That guy should have been slapped in the face.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Oh, my God. I had clapping in the songs, you know? I like clapping. And then here we get, he's going to try to talk to Marie at the university. Right. I think there's some good jokes here where he's going to go into the city. University and there's a gag with this guy coming in with
Starting point is 00:47:55 on a sheep farming scholarship and he's got all these sheep with them. I do like there's the sign that says no musical instruments on the thing. But I like that like the institution of high learning in Australia. It's like, yeah, the courses are in like sheep farming. Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:13 We do. You know, they're having fun at their own expense a bit. Foster brewery repair men. easy things he goes in we got another fun song of him like doing all of his equations just interrupting
Starting point is 00:48:27 this professor's lecture and erasing this dude's shit like this huge chalkboard full of calculations just to write E equals MC squared that that scene goes on for longer yeah I mean this happens a lot in this movie
Starting point is 00:48:43 but that one I was like kept on checking I was like how is this is the erasing supposed to be part of the joke The fact that he's erasing? It takes so long to erase that truck for it. This is like another one of the little music moment. You're watching something that could. Is this where the Paul Kelly song is?
Starting point is 00:49:00 Possibly. This is right around here as you get the saints. The music goes around my head. This is where he meets up with her like after something. He's got flowers and shit. Yeah, he's happy. He's walking up that hill. He dances with Hari Krishna's where I was like.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Okay. Hey, right. Yeah. Aren't they weird looking? He's a free spirit. You guys are just so chained to the world. I will say, just to end the university bit, on the way out, he's talking to Marie Curie, and he's like, your professor is so wrong.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Right. He's so wrong. But on the way out also is an Asian man who says so wrong. Yes. And as opposed to. By the way, Steve, Steve, hold on your hat. Don't let your hat fall off your head. That Asian student played by a white guy.
Starting point is 00:49:48 I can't even believe it. I can't even fucking believe that. Does he have the Jerry Lewis teeth too? I forget. I don't think so, but that voice might as well. Might as well. All right. Oh boy. That was a rough one.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Yeah, I forgot about that. I did forget about that. Yeah, him, yeah, we already talked about it sort of, but yeah, their date is he makes the surfboard and she's like just getting wet on the beach watching him hang ten. Hang brain, really. I do believe that, by the way. Everything I've seen of him makes me believe he probably has a pretty big dick. You don't go around in this world like that.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Yahu Syrius and Albert Einstein, the real guy too. Probably had a fucking hammer. You know? I believe that. That's why it was such that. And you know, the real Einstein is to blame for this movie if you don't like this movie.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Because he had those posters on college dorms. It's true. If it's to be believed, Yahoo Sirius saw a, a dude of the t-shirt of the Albert I said with a tongue out is like that's the movie like really that's amazing because like that is the movie
Starting point is 00:50:55 it sounds a lot more fun than you thought he was wow he's a real rock and roller just like me see I mean it was in it was already in the cultural zeit guys she just tapped into it can you imagine being able to pitch movies in 1986 you could have just been like
Starting point is 00:51:11 yeah you see that Budweiser thing with the big tits movie plus guns Put guns with the tent This is a movie Great point Like why didn't Spuds McKenzie get a movie
Starting point is 00:51:23 He should have a movie He had air I guess because it's alcohol Yeah He's an old dog Air Bud was for kids But the Spuds McKenzie kind of dogs
Starting point is 00:51:33 Did show up In movies Around that Was Frank and Wheatney Or Spudz McKenzie Was he not Oh yeah He was a
Starting point is 00:51:40 He was the breed I don't know if he was the actual That's how he died Was an alcohol overdose And that's why they brought them back to life. That's right. That's right. Yeah. That was a popular breed at the time for cinema. Yes, whatever. Because they were funny looking.
Starting point is 00:51:53 So you could kind of use that as a get. Because I think wasn't the, or no, maybe that was more of like a pity kind of thing. The little rascals dog, I thought was also like a Spudson-McKenzie, but maybe, maybe some sort of like mixed breed dog or something. This one was popular until the Frazier dog took over American. Yes. Then the Jack Russell Terrier ruled Supreme in the entertainment. the mask, you know. Oh, jeez. Doing such a short, kind of nothing, nothing movie.
Starting point is 00:52:19 We fill that time talking about dog breeds and Jake Gyllenhaal's shower habits. And we're going to get there with this episode, folks. Absolutely. It's going to be an episode. It will. He does write his parents back home a couple times and there is a gag here. Again, the dad, the dad might be the best performance of the movie with the mom's all
Starting point is 00:52:38 excited about like, oh, he's met a girl and he's whatever the fuck. and the dad's all excited and when you cut to the shot of the dad being like oh that's great or whatever he's taking his shit in like an outhouse that is collapsing around him as he's shitting like you can see through this thing parts of like the boards have fallen
Starting point is 00:52:58 off of it that's great that's a liberated man right there you being able to you live in that area why bother why have the toilet right out there don't even put a thing around it unless I guess it gets smoke I guess that's the thing is you must be nose blind to everything in the 18 in the early in the
Starting point is 00:53:13 1900s just because you're shitting outside like I don't know if I could make it like you know what I mean like you've been camping before sure yeah but three five days I'm ready for a fucking turlid well just imagine living your whole life like that right that's something you either you either let it blend into the background yes or you go crazy it's one of the two options I guess like if it's the only thing you've ever known you don't know that it's different yeah you know off you start feeling like Jake Gyllenhaal your body starts cleaning itself some. There is just no excuse for that. I am sorry, Jake Gillen Hall. Get in the
Starting point is 00:53:47 fucking tub, man. That is so dumb. Walk into a river once in a while. At least do that. Or go out in the rain. Please, stand out in the rain. At least. Wake up, Donnie. You smell like shit. In 21 days,
Starting point is 00:54:04 you're literally, no one will talk to you. Yes, and instead of a rabbit, it's a Charmin bear, one of those toilet paper bears. But he still has metallic eyeballs and fucked up teeth. Yes. No, they don't want you to know this. The ass cleans itself. Why are you
Starting point is 00:54:19 wearing that stupid rabbit suit? Why do you smell like shit? I'm voting for Armandhammer deodorant. Don't you want to do something nice for gentlemen alone? I think we've got to do a Donnie Darker. Oh, that's a L.M.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Oh, easy. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah, totally. I will not have this at the table And by that I mean, you smell like shit I'm starting to doubt your commitment To cleaning yourself properly What's this on the fridge? Do caca 88 How exactly do you wash a butt
Starting point is 00:54:59 Oh yeah Kitty shit dungeon It's all pictures of kids shit I'm not even sure if this is illegal It's just gross Good old grandma tub Absolutely But so right around here is when like basically
Starting point is 00:55:26 I think Marie Curie is like Oh you're a piece of shit Because you stole Young Einstein's formula And you know how we're going to solve this We're going to throw Young Einstein in the loony bin Because that's kind of like this This movie is to your point it's a series of sketches like it's young
Starting point is 00:55:41 Einstein around in Australia proper now it's the Looney Bin segment and then like you know and the Looney Bin segment takes quite sometimes is is the Nurse Ratchet a dude and drag? It absolutely is man Oh okay yep because I couldn't tell yeah definitely a dude
Starting point is 00:55:58 and drag here again kind of like a weird John Waters Nightmare's sort of character It's wacky isn't it folks It is I do like the guy like when he meets like as he's being carted into the booby hatch there like he's getting introduced
Starting point is 00:56:13 to all the other guys and it's like they're doing kind of like a jail what are you in for sort of thing and the one guy is like my name's Brian Esperin I got busted for drugs that's the thing is like they're all sort of like quasi scientists and that's where you put
Starting point is 00:56:30 people that don't fit into society you just throw them in the asylum exactly it just reminded me very much it's poor things is just a gender swapped young Einstein Really? When you really think about it, Steve? Absolutely. I pointed this out on Letterbox because I do think this movie looks good. I think it's got great production design.
Starting point is 00:56:47 I like the costumes. There's money. Even though there's inachronistic things, it all kind of fits the same mold. Yes. Yeah. And poor things won Oscars for doing this production style design. So you're saying Yahoo Sirius snubbed by the academy. I am saying that.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Yahoo Sirius, Yorgas, Yulantam. Oh, we're just going to chalkboard here and start. It's like an anagram. Yeah, it's like the shot in line of fire where John Malkovich is putting on all the makeup. No one knew. What if your, if Jorges Lathemas was Yahoo! Serious the whole time. Here's what it is.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Here's what it is. It didn't happen this time, but whenever Yorgos does win the Academy Award, like, for directing. Sure. The dude that we think we know is Yorgos Lantamos, like the camera goes to him at the Academy Award. broadcast and that dude doesn't get up and then suddenly Yahoo Sirius walks down the aisle and he's like, I was your ghost met the most the whole time. This is just some fucking Australian friend of mine. He's not even a director. And he's not even Greek.
Starting point is 00:57:52 And Emma Stone's just weeping like, I didn't even know. Take a bow, William. You've been a great Yorgus. He tips his hat and walks out of the auditorium. Man, we... Yorgos just goes up there. It says, crikey. Oh, I would love that. We are do for some type of crazy shit on this planet, right?
Starting point is 00:58:11 Exactly. It's weird. It's all crazy, but like, I was going to say, just some like innocently We are overdue for fun crazy. That's exactly right. The danger is crazy. I'm quite tired of it, but the fun crazy, let's bring that back. That would be nice. But yeah, the
Starting point is 00:58:29 Satan Asylum part's kind of fun. Like he finds he's in the mad scientist wing, which is, yes. These guys, these guys just feel like the young ones the entire time, you know what I mean? Like some of them too. Yes, exactly. It's the dude who plays keenly, whatever that guy is. That's the guy that wrote Happy Feet. Oh, okay. The thing I, I kept on thinking about because it came up the same year as this is Bill and Ted's excellent adventure does something much smarter. And it's
Starting point is 00:58:59 that it's funny that Napoleon likes ice cream. Yes. That's funny. Like doing this like, Curry, like, you get Marie Currie and she just fucking, she cannot get enough of beach volleyball. Like, just cannot fucking, nothing but it. But like, because we have the setting, it's what, like 1905? Yeah. Like, that kind of was my problem. It is pretty, Eric. I got to give you that.
Starting point is 00:59:23 It's gorgeous. It's very nice to look at. Marie Curie finds out what's going on here. She gives Preston the business at the social club. Yes. Which is kind of nice. I love a good, we actually just talked about this with a. decent proposal to, like, someone making a scene at a snooty, upper crust, private, whatever you do, you know?
Starting point is 00:59:42 Does she do a drink in the face or not so much? I forget. Probably not. I don't think so. I do love a good drink in the face. Do they do the Beverly Hills cop thing where he pretends that he gave the villain a VD? No, I don't think so. I don't believe. That is a great gag that Axel Foley pulls, though. Oh my god I must make you a member We do Because you have to do it man
Starting point is 01:00:10 You absolutely The movie wasn't getting released If you didn't do this All the guys in the In the asylum are sort of showering And one dude just goes Whoops drop the soap And the whole room of dudes
Starting point is 01:00:22 Is like And looks And I don't think this is funny But I do think there is a funny Delivery of when they all look Someone just quietly goes Careful that's it's a funny delivery wrapped inside a joke i am tired of seeing things you're tired of seeing
Starting point is 01:00:41 it you got to give some of this stuff a little leeway since 1988 exactly you know we were right in the middle of getting a like pile drive by this fucking joke it was in every movie it was for a long time absolutely absolutely so marie goes uh to the asylum pretending to be well i'm side's father first she goes regular style and the guy's just like well you know Einstein's bathing you're better
Starting point is 01:01:10 off not waiting he's a notoriously long bather yeah that's humorous and then she was like oh immediate family only so then she comes back with a silly beard as the father and this is just like an SML sketch of this really terribly fake beard she gets led in
Starting point is 01:01:27 I do like the gag like she gets into the where they're being held or whatever and she goes up to Einstein and they start making out. And the other dudes are like, wow, close family. Man, see, we're laughing, guys. We're having a good time with that. My whole thing that was like,
Starting point is 01:01:43 what year was Ferris Bueller? Because it's very close to that's how it is in that family. It's actually, yeah. You have a kiss? Yeah, who saw that movie. Do you have a kiss for daddy? So, yeah, no, the cat pie segment, I guess, happens around here. Yeah, it's happening.
Starting point is 01:02:00 We're setting it up for some reason. We're putting the, putting the dough on top of the kittens in this pie. Is this? This is just Australian food. Okay, that's how I was curious. Because, like, it's not like he's an inmate. He's actually the chef.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Yeah, he's the show. And I guess the idea is like, oh, that you get the worst kind of food in the asylum. It's like a monstrous institution down to the one. Down to the food they're making. On top of, though, I will say, because there's a place downtown. Actually, I don't know what's still around. It was on, like, right at the border of, like, the Bowery, Lower East Side area.
Starting point is 01:02:34 It was an Australian, like, meat pie place. And you could go and get, like, these little personal meat pies. They're great. Fucking awesome. Yeah. Absolutely awesome. There's one near me. They're really, really good.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Did you test yours for cat meat? I did not. I took the lady's word that it was beef. I was hoping it was cat. I never had a savory pie that I liked. So, not like a chicken pot pie fan? No, I'm not. Really?
Starting point is 01:02:58 Okay. I don't even, yeah, I kind of don't even fuck with Kish that much. I will eat it. I will eat it. There's a gun to your head. All right, your in-laws, maybe? Your in-laws are making a lot of Kish? Sometimes my wife makes it.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Oh, I bet it's delicious. It is delicious. Actually, that's the one I love. The rest of the savory pies, get out of here. Savory pie, A-O-K, sweet pie, no thing. Well, that's you're the son of the devil, dude. I don't know what's going on with that. Out of control with that opinion.
Starting point is 01:03:28 That is a savory pie. It's the hottest steak. I like sweet pies I'm a fan of. Folks, it's young Einstein's. Okay, we're going to talk about pie now. I love sweet pie. I like it better than cake. I would rather have a piece of pumpkin pie,
Starting point is 01:03:45 apple pie, any kind of pie. Give me the pie. I'm there with you. Cake with the frosting and shit. Get the fuck out of you. Oh, my God. What are we talking? I'm talking shit about cake all of a sudden.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Here's my thing with cake. My problem with cake. Great bad, great food. Move on. A great band, absolutely. My wife's drawn up the divorce papers, listen to this right now. But my problem with cake in one way,
Starting point is 01:04:06 and I do like cake. I'm a cake guy also. But when the cake, like, the frosting is so sugary that when you chew it, you can feel the crystalline sugar. That's a poorly made cake. I think also like... But that's like grocery store cake.
Starting point is 01:04:21 I need like a buttercream, you know, cream cheese kind of basically. Really well-made cake. And not often. And the thing is like I worked at an office I worked at office jobs for like 15 years. Oh, here we go. I know where this is going. So there's come and something coming up.
Starting point is 01:04:36 No, no, maybe, maybe. But it was like every week it's someone's goddamn fucking birthday. It's like Elaine Bennett. Yeah. And if you don't have the piece of cake, people actually think you're an asshole. Yep. And they're like, what are you doing? What are you doing? And it's like, geez, man, wow. You know,
Starting point is 01:04:53 I do, after this job, I'm going to drink like a 30 rack of beer. Don't put I'm good. You're adding. so many calories by giving me this piece of cake on top of everything else that I'm doing to damage my body. I don't want the cake, but you have to have the cake. I have somehow evaded this. I've had a couple
Starting point is 01:05:10 office jobs and I have somehow gotten through with ever having to do this. Cupcakes occasionally I've gotten a cupcake were you lacing those cupcakes too? Oh no, I'm not making. Oh, I see. Were you lacing them with your man's sauce? Is that what you did? I knew it was coming. I knew it. It was good. Better late than never.
Starting point is 01:05:27 It was coming. What are you saying Steve? Oh, no, no. My job, I don't, yeah, not a lot of birthday things. Like, there'll be occasionally a bake-off thing, because that's fun, you know what I mean, for the whole company, and I usually avoid it. Do you like the British bank-off? Yeah. Oh, hell yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Oh, there you go. Yeah, yeah, that's a great show. Oh, because that's a great show. That's why they do it. It's like, oh, the show, the break-off of the day. Oh, is that? I do not miss any of that. Jesus Christ. I'm thankful that whatever I'm eating during the day, it's just a sandwich I made for myself. Yes. I hate forced
Starting point is 01:05:58 food. Stop it. The guy, by the way, just to get back to the cat pie thing really quickly, the dude making it is Roger Ward, who played Fifi and Mad Max. Of course. His partner. Oh, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The big dude. Who probably did eat at least one cat pie in his life.
Starting point is 01:06:14 Just once. By accident, but then he was like wasn't so bad. I mean, back when it was a prison planet, I don't I don't, I don't give you any shit for whatever. you had to eat. There was a, there's a great, very interesting dub here. I don't know if anyone else noticed it. Oh, no. Basically, don't fool with me, says Albert Einstein. No, because so Maria Curia is like, I'm here to rescue, blah, blah, blah. Do you know that, what do you call
Starting point is 01:06:38 it there? Preston, Preston is going to split the beer out of him. He's stealing your formula and all this stuff. Like, yeah, what can I do? I'm just stuck here. And she's at this point sick of his inactivity. Right. Yeah. So she pulls her beard down and says, well, if no one, I think the line is something like if no one if you're not going to stop him then and she says very clearly I will but the
Starting point is 01:07:02 the dub is who then who will because basically I think and I was reading this this morning they reshot the whole ending of this the original ending just didn't work so in this ending she just goes home and like kind of like
Starting point is 01:07:18 nits and it's like oh nobody loves me I'm imagining in the original ending she was probably more active. Probably. And they kind of flat. Because she's very clearly says, then I will. Like,
Starting point is 01:07:27 you know what I mean? And then like, that doesn't go anywhere. So it's like, then who will? I'm just a woman. Yeah. That's interesting.
Starting point is 01:07:34 I'm curious to see these other cuts. Let's get the, like, treat it like blade rubber. The Marie Curie cut, we're going to call that? Yes. Give me a Blu-ray
Starting point is 01:07:42 with five different versions of young Einstein on it. The final cut. You know, dude, if somebody gave that to me, I'd give it right to you. Thank you. I would love that.
Starting point is 01:07:51 I don't, I don't want. I don't want this, but I know exactly who will. This doesn't exist on Blu-ray or high-deaf at all. Is that right? Yeah, you can only rent it standard death. Oh, that's weird. I didn't even notice.
Starting point is 01:08:02 The transfer looks pretty good. It only went to DVD. Huh. You figure, because this is Warner Brothers, it would have been part of that, like, Warner's archive thing. Yeah, that archive line. I guess I should check that out, but I couldn't find evidence on it, my first search. So, someone reach out to me, get me a high-deaf transfer of this.
Starting point is 01:08:19 So it's like, oh, how are we going to? to get out of here. Cut to like this the right stuff-esque him and the boys walking down the hallway. At some point in this asylum he's managed to fix the electronic violin and now it's a guitar and we're like jamming
Starting point is 01:08:35 to overload the circuits. It's just such feeling like a little kid wrote this. Now we're going to play the guitar and it's going to overload the electricity. And we play hot potato with the cat pie. Yes. Because the pie's going in the oven. It starts to get hot. You hear the meows he pulled like they pull it out he pulls it out and he throws it around the room and
Starting point is 01:08:55 people are catching it and it's like curry gets it at some point yeah she's brings it outside it's so you know it's fun and hijinks we're running around it's a good gag here we're escaping we're escaping as they're escaping i want to point out a good visual gag because i got i just whatever i can fucking grasp onto with this movie there's a part where one of the dudes is running down the hallway with an axe and they get up to a in case of emergency break and he uses the glass to break it and then the dude pulls out another axe
Starting point is 01:09:25 that's very funny to me. There you go. You found some. The cats, the kittens are okay at the end of the chase they were eaten by craft services later actually but in the movie they're fine. Yeah they rip off the pie crusts and all the kittens kind of start running out.
Starting point is 01:09:40 Right, right. So he runs back and he's like Marie I escaped and it's a really great like she has gone back to France and left nothing but this tiny little croissant like on the pillow or whatever, that's also going to agree. And then the prostitutes like, Albert, where have you been?
Starting point is 01:09:56 It's an insane asylum or whatever. And then there's a letter that she writes and it's like a parody of Sir Isaac Newton's last letter or something. That's why it sounds so stupid. Oh, that's where I know that from. Oh, okay. Chris is a big fan reading the correspondence of Sir Isaac Newton. His letters.
Starting point is 01:10:14 Oh my God. Oh my God. On the back, of the letter. Paris, France. That's a funny gag where it's like the dude's reading it like the hotel manager or whatever and it's like, but oh my God, where is she? They didn't leave her address as to where to find her
Starting point is 01:10:30 and everybody's like distraught over it and then he's like oh wait, no, here's the address on the back of the envelope. It's right. And this is what he gets to do a little steamship and I'm like, I don't think I can take another fucking travel and montage. I'm just like, I don't know folks. I don't know. I'm going to start tapping out soon. I'm like, dude
Starting point is 01:10:46 give me more give me him at sea throw another fucking banger song on let me enjoy my afternoon watching young Einstein this is funny Markleau's like Einstein I love you it is kind of a funny gag of him in a tiny little motorboat
Starting point is 01:11:04 and he's going to go all the way from Australia to Paris I think that's very funny and then where you know the Science Academy Awards are starting we're kind of at the end of the movie already yeah and yeah he goes Chuck Darwin is hosting. Right.
Starting point is 01:11:18 We're cutting in before we actually get to those events. Right around here we get the Wright brothers gag. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:24 It's one dude's a black gentleman as the idea. You have a Sigmund Freud and his mother is there and she'll give him shit. Don't pick your nose.
Starting point is 01:11:33 Smacking him. That's how that works. That's how you got the idea to do it. They have young. Do you get it? They have young he's wearing all red.
Starting point is 01:11:44 Like a book I wrote. Einstein's now in France and he's on one of those giant bicycles with the big wheel You don't like the old time bikes That's a great Simpsons gag kicking him in the face What are other good Simpsons gang
Starting point is 01:12:02 Let's do that sure Let's go through 30 years of good gags Okay the Yahoo film festival With the closed theater I know what those were I know those I recognize those words But that makes no sense I also love it that bit with the,
Starting point is 01:12:16 there's a picture of Castro, a slide of Cassidy. It's like, oh, that should be in there and he swallowed it. Plan B. So he goes to the curious state is the idea. And now that, you know, her father is very like dismissive of her accomplishments. But she's a woman.
Starting point is 01:12:38 She needs a man. This is what he's saying. Oh, right. So Albert kicks down the door and all that. It's like, we got to get to the Science Academy Awards. The father is disgusted with the appearance of young eyes here. He's ready to throw right up. He starts talking with some authority here, you know, like, couldn't help but notice you got a hot air balloon and, you know, like.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Borrow that. The, yeah, borrow it to get to the thing and blah, blah, blah. It's, you know, the state of the, the future of the world's depending on it. Marie, Marie, we have to get there. George Washington Carver is going to show off his jelly collection. Which Police Academy movie has the air balloon ending? Ooh. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:23 That's six? Yeah, I was saying the air balloons were in the atmosphere. Sure. That's where they go. Literally and figured. Yes. Yeah, we did love hot air balloons in the 80s. Definitely.
Starting point is 01:13:35 I do like the dad. So we cut back to the parents. Who's got to be four ladies and gentlemen? I was going to say Citizens on Patrol, right? Yes. Yeah. The dad. is like, the dad and mom are, like, sitting on the porch back in, uh, you know, Tasmania or whatever.
Starting point is 01:13:48 And the dad, like, gets up to turn the radio on. And he goes, uh, how about a little afternoon entertainment mother? To which this woman replies, bit early in the day for that father. And then this dude choking back vomit is just like, I was referring to the wireless. Yeah, exactly. Why would I want to fuck you? They put on the Science Academy Awards on the radio there. Love that the show's broadcasts all over the world like that. Yeah, it's amazing. And Charles Darwin is introduced. He's like the greatest scientist of the world.
Starting point is 01:14:23 You know, it's Charles Darwin. And he comes out. The guy playing Darwin looks like fucking Garth Hudson from the band nowadays. Oh, yeah, yeah. Dude just like bald on top big Santa beard. Love that. It was a good look for a scientist and a musician. Borderline Amish.
Starting point is 01:14:40 Always good look. Yes. And it's like, oh, then a young man here. Oh, wow. the way from Australia. Right. Yeah. It's like, the parents like, oh, it couldn't be. Right. And it isn't. It's Preston, Preston.
Starting point is 01:14:53 Yes. Comes out and he's got this device. The world's largest beer keg, we call it, I think. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's an atomic vine. Yes. The movie never quite merges that idea successfully. You know what I mean? Like, they are doing some stuff about like the opi and Einstein. like the atmosphere on fire stuff because she's like, your invention
Starting point is 01:15:18 could destroy the world and you want to talk about stuff, right? You know, it's like they kind of do that. And then when it just gets there and it's a big keg and it's also a bomb and you're like, all right? Matt Damon just comes out and goes, near zero. There's going to be a fun explosion
Starting point is 01:15:34 everybody, so calm down. So they get to the award ceremony and Albert yells out, you're like, Mr. Darwin, like Mr. Preston has built an atomic bomb or whatever. I like the delivery of this Preston, Preston guy, but, no, I didn't. No, I didn't.
Starting point is 01:15:50 When they get there, by the way, we should point out, again, they take the air balloon and he's like, all right, time to just let it down right here. And like, he fuck something up and the balloon farts all over, like you let an air out of a real balloon. And he falls again hilariously
Starting point is 01:16:06 through something. But we, it's so cheap, we never see the balloon. Of course. You hear it, and everyone's like, you see a bunch of people looking left, right, left, right. Oh, my God, oh my God. Honestly, though, Steve, I prefer using your actors like that and having sound effects versus what you know would be a god-awful special effect
Starting point is 01:16:27 to try to make a balloon fly around. It would look like shit. You'll believe a balloon can fly. But yeah, he comes in and it's like, uh-oh, like this thing. They start it up, like Preston Preston doesn't listen to anybody. Like, fuck off, let's start it up. and it's overloading. We got a fun little dial
Starting point is 01:16:46 like the terrorist color alert levels that we had here in the early odds. Orange, yellow, red, whatever. I think Darwin confirms it or that it's a bomb or something. Press and press says, shut up, you stupid old man. That's pretty great.
Starting point is 01:17:02 Oh, I was looking in my notes. The last, so it's like, you know, caution, danger, whatever. The funny part is on the end of it. It says the last, like the top tier bad one is extreme danger with a skull and crossbones thing like built into the label.
Starting point is 01:17:18 Sure. They made that. I don't know it's not dangerous, but I'm putting on these gauges that says it. You want to make sure if it happens, you know it's going to happen. You will turn into this.
Starting point is 01:17:27 This is skull. You will be a skeleton. Albert has to eat an apple and think for a minute. Everyone's freaking out. Let's run away from here. Pressing. It goes back to Charles Darwin.
Starting point is 01:17:39 Yeah. And that whole exchange of like, it's an atomic bomb. There's nowhere to run to. Unless you get young Einstein to play ACDC's Thunderstruck at the atomic bomb. Then maybe, just maybe, we might win. The idea is to suck the energy out of the bomb by playing guitar. Makes total sense.
Starting point is 01:18:01 Is he actually playing Thunderstruck? Oh, okay. But yeah, so he's just jamming. I do love, like, yes, we're doing things like, oh, I have to stop, take a bite of this apple and think because you're watching that clock tick by to get to feature presentation that's right. We try to give Marie Curie a little agency here
Starting point is 01:18:19 well. She knocks him out. Yes, well he he pulls out this pistol. I love the giant scope thing on this. He's going to kill Albert Einstein. And he also mutters mutters Albert Einstein, what kind of name is that for a scientist? And he gets knocked out by Marie Curie. So that's sort of something.
Starting point is 01:18:37 He gets hit her head. Yeah, exactly. He gets hit, she hits him over the head, like, with the award, which is pretty great. And then there's, like, a dent in it. And, uh, now we're just, we're doing, this is very music video now while he's playing, uh, the music. We get like the electric skeleton inside of him. A little skeleton going on. You start to see the, like, the genesis of his body.
Starting point is 01:19:02 First, it turns into, he's like an umpalumpa kind of, like it's very orange and his hair's fucked up. Yes. And yes, much like Daniel Stern in Home Alone, too, the skeleton while he's being elected... Second skeleton gag in the movie, the first one I like a lot, which is... Oh, yes. When he's waiting for the train, he looks over to his left and there's a guy with a train program who's just a skeleton. Always love that.
Starting point is 01:19:27 Yep, yep, that's pretty great. You dump a skeleton in a movie, I'm laughing. I don't give a winner every time. I love skeletons. So, like, he jams until the bomb is completely depleted. and yes, it's like a shot from the feet up and he's like covered in soot and everything and ash and whatever and then it gets up to his face
Starting point is 01:19:46 and we're back at the gag from the first part and again it is just an evenly smooth coating of makeup and Marie Curie comes up and it's like oh Albert you saved us she gives him a big kiss and then when he pulls back her red lipstick has gone over his lips
Starting point is 01:20:02 and he gives a big smile and you're just like goo hoo! I don't think he should have started singing a mammy like that. I was wrong of them to do that. I'm going to say it's a tough one. It's unfortunate. Maybe that original ending didn't have. Yes.
Starting point is 01:20:18 You know what this movie, Nees says the Warner Bros. Executive. More blackface jokes. I mean, we were doing them in 30 Rock did that. Like, you know what I mean? We were doing,
Starting point is 01:20:28 people were still doing it until like this year. Yeah. No, I'm not saying that this is like a singled out whatever. I know. It's unfortunate. In the grand tradition. of people wrongly and unfortunately doing this.
Starting point is 01:20:40 It should not be in this movie. No. Bamboozled is maybe the only movie it should be in. Well, yeah, it's the whole movie. Like what else? Yeah, yeah. My point. I still think the Mad Men one was pretty good because at least it was like in time. It was telling you about the characters. In a way that it wasn't Jenna Maroney. Yeah, well, some of those 30 Rock episodes that, yeah, the Jenna Maroney one, yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:02 But the thing is about that episode that's been removed is it's mostly Tracy as like white chicks and her at the end for a second or two, but it's still not good. But good show overall. Oh my God. We're going through it right now. It's fucking fantastic. So yeah, he has his big sort of heroes welcome, much like the end of the film Willow. Yeah. Back to the tiny village. Everyone's excited. And you want to talk about looking at the clock. Like, could we call it? No, we need seven minutes. We need seven full minutes right now. Does he not rock and roll for the entirety of this song. We do get a little political commentary
Starting point is 01:21:42 of like he's going to give like the formula to the governments of the world. Yes. If you can't trust the governments of the world, who can you trust? Not too bad. Like I guess that's another better late than never Yahoo. That was a decent line in the last
Starting point is 01:21:53 four minutes of this movie. And then we get, you know, a not very good Chuck Barry cover. I wish it was one of those 80s jams instead of it. Rock and bowl music. Everybody don't to tune it. Yeah, that's like Xerox.
Starting point is 01:22:10 But it is a weird, he's, because they're like, oh, you know, Albert, what's next? Because you're clearly a brilliant scientist. He's like, well, I think I could just show you my next theory. And I'm like, that's not all right, but just please. And then like a young Lewis straw is like, Albert, Albert, Albert, side of my, oh. Oh. Snubbed at the rock concert. I'm going to start the FAA.
Starting point is 01:22:37 but we slow-mo oh yeah we slow-mo and then freeze frame on him like jumping with the guitar and then a nice speaking of Looney Tunes like in cursive the end comes out you think Robert Daddy Jr. ever saw young Einstein absolutely oh yeah wow this is that's a round the horn yeah she was a fucking drug addict of course you're going to watch it
Starting point is 01:23:02 yeah I guess that's true yeah Ice House over the end again Hey, Robert, John's got Young Einstein and VHS. It's supposed to be fucking awesome. Yeah, let's do it. Let's watch it. Let's watch right now. Let's watch right now. Yeah, buddy. That was one of his first low points. Like, what am I doing in my life? That was the point where he started to clean himself up.
Starting point is 01:23:26 Yeah, he's like, oh, fuck, I got excited to watch young Einstein. Better go to rehab. But yeah, that is the end of this movie, folks. as the conclusion of Young Einstein, Yahoo Sirius' directorial debut. Go Around the Horn here. Final Thoughts, Stephen Sadek. Oh, it's a no. I never let me as a kid for some reason. Like, I think my godmother's son who I hung out with a ton as a kid, loved it.
Starting point is 01:23:54 And I was like, I hate this. Even as a little kid, I was like, I hate this movie. Was it a thing like every time you hung out, like at that dude's house or whatever, we're putting the tape on? It was in the rotation. It was like, you want to do you want? I was like, I do not want to do Young Einstein. Yeah, what else he got? Literally anything.
Starting point is 01:24:09 Literally, yeah, I'll watch a tape of your parents fucking, whatever you got. Like, yeah. That's what you label that Young Einstein so no one plays. And then, uh-oh. Then Robert Daddy Jr. is watching it. Oh, fuck. I labeled it Young Frankenstein. They are going to watch it.
Starting point is 01:24:27 Or you label it WrestleMania and they put it in. It's like, oh, fuck, young Einstein. Gross. Ew. Yeah, so it's a big fat no for me. Chris Cabin. Yeah, I got to agree with that. I did watch this a bunch as a kid,
Starting point is 01:24:40 so I do remember enjoying it. I did enjoy it at some point. And I do think if you are a parent and this shows up somewhere, it probably will work for your kids. There's a lot of buoyant, insane energy to it that I think they probably appreciate more than I do, at least in this totally sporadic way that it's being deployed here. I do enjoy some of like
Starting point is 01:25:04 that effect that it's a real kangaroo I'm seeing the fact that it is a physical comedy There's also a little koala is very adorable at one point There's good animals and all set These are the positives here but they're pretty scant to me So overall notes for me Yeah I'll jump in and say This is the other day was the first time ever I watched this movie
Starting point is 01:25:22 I've never seen you so angry It was rough man It didn't work for me It did not worry and that happens it's all right It happens you know I did not have the benefit of seeing it as a child, so there's absolutely no nostalgic attachment to it. I will say I love Australia. I love the people of Australia. I think you've made plenty of amazing movies that I've enjoyed over the years. Beautiful landscape, all that stuff.
Starting point is 01:25:46 This just, it is a big steer clear for me. And now, a note from the other side of the eye. It's a big yes for me. Because honestly, I was thinking about this, I don't think there's, and, like, this might be the best looking comedy film. I, like. consciously shot. Yeah, very good. The production design, the costumes, they like, say what you want about Yahoo series or the gags. He fucking cared enough to make this
Starting point is 01:26:10 look coherent. And I know that maybe the story's not completely coherent. Right. But it looks really good, in my opinion. So I am saying yes. For what it's worth, it's a better edited and executed film than Roller Ball. Exactly. Yes. Like, this
Starting point is 01:26:26 watching this movie makes much more sense like as a timeline sort of piecing together a movie than Rollerball. Mr. Sirius at the end when obviously you are turning the rock and roll into the atomic bomb, it should go to Night Vision, I believe. The one thing Yahoo's directorial debut was missing was, of course, Night Vision. You know, that son of a bitch, Hurst, hate it, Night Vision. He said it would never work. I should definitely underline that, yes, I saw this
Starting point is 01:27:00 as a kid a lot. So it's nostalgia. When was the last time you had watched it? Probably 15, 20 years. Wow, okay. And still, like, at the same exact level as the last time you watched it? Still played as well, I guess. Probably lesser.
Starting point is 01:27:14 Because when I was a kid, I probably liked it a lot more. But I just think it's nice to look at. It's got some of the gags do make me laugh. The Looney Tunes-esque-esque. There it is. Ask. stuff does work for me but I can see definitely
Starting point is 01:27:31 it having diminishing returns and not everyone enjoying it absolutely totally understand it and besides the Chuck Berry cover excellent sound text I will agree with that yeah yeah but that is going to do it on our episode on Young Einstein thanks to Ryan Brian Ryan excuse me Ryan for calling in and requesting this one
Starting point is 01:27:50 I feel like it's also one that has been requested a lot Oh yeah so it's another nice to check that box of course But thanks so much to everybody, the thousands of people who called in, wrote in for the listener request month stuff. It has been another wild zany year. And proof once again, folks, this shit ain't fixed. So there you go. But, of course, the audience programming continued on the Patreon as well this month.

Starting point is 01:28:30 which apparently was the first time we've ever done it. Could have fooled me. Surprised all four of us. Not me. Yeah, but that's a really fun cartoon. It gets wacky on that episode. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:28:42 We had a Gleap Glossary. On Savage O Pruss. Oh, yeah. Which is a Darth Mall brother, apparently, and there's more than one Darth Mall brother? Is that the correct pronunciation? Have we ever gotten a hold on this?
Starting point is 01:28:54 See, everyone gives me, you guys give me like the business here when I'm like, people, people hate my pronunciations of Star Wars shit. And it's true because I was saying savage oppress. And they're giving you shit? Well, that is how it's smelled. Someone did give me shit about how it's savage or something. They should shut up. Well, they should shut up and go to Patreon. Savage.
Starting point is 01:29:18 What is the fucking Johnny Depp cologne that I'll never buy? Yeah, totally, dude. Yeah, speaking of people smelling like shit. We also had a banger nexus that may be out this week, actually. We did a Voyager episode from season two called The Thaw with Michael McKeehan playing a clown. And then, of course, those old scientists from the most recent season of Star Trek's Strange New Worlds, an amazing new television show. And we covered that really fun episode there with Jack Quaid and Tony Newsom,

What totally ridiculous theme month are we kicking off next week? Well, sometimes, you know,
Starting point is 01:31:41 like this episode, we go on a lot of tangents and we just start talking about stuff. I think a couple of months ago, the idea of doing a Charlie Sheenman was brought up and we were like, L.O.L. Wouldn't that be funny? And then we programmed it. So next month, April, will indeed be Sheenprill for literally no reason. We're not celebrating the man at all. I want to be really clear about that. For no reason at all. And it's just the dumbest name you can come up with. And that's what's funny about it. So Sheenprill is kicking off. And we will say, keep your eyes peeled on like our social and the website and shit. So you can see the amazing art that Philippe Sobreu, our good friend, has made for Sheenpril.
Starting point is 01:32:21 it's Charlie Sheen as Napoleon riding a tiger It's one of the craziest fucking things It will be a T-shirt in the merch store No doubt about it, good gravy But so anyway, Sheen Prill is kicking off Steve With which Charlie Sheen starring motion picture And it's also kind of the beginning of baseball season right now Therefore we have to start with Major League
Starting point is 01:32:40 Yes, absolutely and make no mistake folks I'm a fan of this comedy It's been many years So we'll see about what the diceyness situation is Dicey Dennis Haysburg going on. Yeah, we will see. And also we should quickly mention, since some folks know from via social media,
