this week on the program it's like somehow a dumber king ralph and animated and barely a movie it's garfield
colon a tale of two kitties i'm andrew jupin i'm stephen sadax british doppelganger
ericfield uh chris cat and we hate movies
Hello, everyone
Thank you for tuning in, as always.
That's right, if you're coming to the show for the first time,
because you're a massive Garfield fan.
We're a comedy show that takes a movie Good, Bad, Otherwise,
or Garfield, The Tale of Two Kitties, and kicks it around for a little bit.
Boy, oh, boy.
fellas. We should say it's okay
to like a movie. I know a lot of you
Whippersnappers grew up with this. A lot of whippersnappers
grew up with the house on Haunted Hill. I felt
like I didn't say. You always bring this up
for the ones that are terrible.
Like the worst of the worst. You always bring
this out. Chris, Chris, there's a variety
of tastes in the world.
And I'm sure they can take it when I tell them
their movie that they love so much sucks
ass. They can't take it. They love everything.
They're just full of heart
and joy. I'm not going to bend to their
joy. Fuck up. This movie sucks.
But I'm just, I'm legitimately curious if someone out there likes this movie.
What about it?
Yeah, yeah.
Even if you're like a tried and true hardcore Garfield head, what about a Bill Murray?
Oh, I'm sorry, a Billy Connolly completist, are you?
This isn't even a Garfield movie, really.
I mean, you got some lasagna in here.
Like, sure you do.
That's about it.
You know, like, we're naming it after a tale of two cities, but we're doing the Prince
and the Paw parties.
Yeah, that's right.
Which, by the way, that Errol Flynn movie from, I think 37 is really,
good. Which cat does he play?
There was an adaptation of the Prince and the
Popper and he's like the swashbuckling
dude that has these two kids. One is
the British, you know, like the royal
person and one is the peasant
and they swapped places
for fun because they look alike. They got some
twins to play them. It's a disgusting
shit boy kind of situation, but it is a good movie. I thought they were
duping Arrow Flynn. Errol Flynn was the guy playing two roles.
I think he was in on it. You know, it's
A little while since I've seen it, I saw it.
Because what's better than one Aeroflin, but two Arro Flan?
Oh, wouldn't that be something?
That'd be a lot of crimes.
Yeah. I mean, a lot of fucking...
You've got to build one jail for those two alone.
Just keep them away from society.
Yes, that's true.
Holy shit.
There's nothing worse than being told you look like someone
because the person that you're told you look like is an absolute goblin.
In my experience, it's like, oh, man, you look like that guy.
It's like, oh, that guy, that guy picking through the trash?
I would think most people, if they don't know the story,
at least would be like, Aral Flynn, that's a good one.
Yeah, yeah. That's a good way. I'll take that. Oh, sure. Yeah, I'll take
Earl Flynn. I thought you were going to say someone told you
you looked like Garfield. That's what I thought you might as well.
He looked like Garfield.
Like you're at a nice Italian restaurant
with your wife and there's like, dude, look at that
guy's house and that lasagna.
He's pulling real Garfield over there. He looked like Garfield.
What is with all the orange
hair all over your body, sir?
Sir, we would like you to use a fork in a plate and not
throw the lasagna into your mouth, please.
Are you shedding? Is that what
going on here? Yes, yes. Very good, Mr. Sadek. You hate Mondays. Thank you.
So, yes, this is the sequel to the 2004
Garfield movie that we covered last year.
Yes. So here we are.
We're here because of the dawn of Chris Pratt, obviously.
That's right. That's right. You can enjoy that now
in major motion theaters. I'm telling you, like, you guys, I got to
see this movie. And I, wait, well, you saw the Chris
I saw the Chris Pratt one because the local
theater near me, Andrew knows this
they host press screenings
occasionally and with the
kids ones at least you get a blanket
for the Connecticut Film
Association you get a blanket
email for like a lot of the low ones
What's that email letter? What's your actual address?
That is C.H.R. Wait
No. Were there any other people
there? There were a lot of guys, a lot
people with kids. For the press
screenings of like family films like that
they encourage you to bring children to it.
So it's not fucking crickets the whole time.
Oh, so it makes sense why A.O. Scott brought his kid to Australia when we saw that.
Yeah. They really do. In the emails, they're even like, bring your kids. We don't have, it's not plus one. It's plus family.
Because then the critic can be like, well, I thought it was a piece of shit. My eight-year-old was loving it. Yeah, this is a trap.
Because then it's like, you got the little kids, maybe not even your own little kids, God forbid. And they're laughing, having fun. And then it colors your experience.
Yeah, absolutely. And the experience of going to the movie is better. So therefore, you're like, well, the movie is. Well, the movie is.
not so bad, but like, I'm telling you, somebody should do this.
Take a piece of the dialogue from Garfield and put it under Super Mario Brothers during his
lines. It is identical. He does nothing. He does nothing. Wow. It's not even a Garfield.
It's a disgrace. This is a disgrace to voice acting. Like, what the fuck are you doing? Because
even Bill Murray is, he's trying here, which is kind of shocking. He's doing like, I'm a
Garfield kind of guy. He's a party.
oh yeah because he knows it's a character yes and he wants to create a persona but like this it's
like even samuel jackson who plays a like a secondary character is like just doing samuel jackson
there's no actual that's what we don't want to do now it's just like we want you know that uh that awful
tina fay commercial uh the i think it was a super bowl commercial where like everyone's dressing
up like Tina fay or something like she's hawking all sorts she's doing credit cards these days
i think i saw her doing like an expedia thing
She sold my mom a reverse mortgage.
She's headed out flyers
on the parking lot when I came up here.
But, no, but Tina Faye told me about the fucking
dinar miracle that's about to happen, dude.
I'm on board. Tina Faye sold me on the Iraqi
dinar. No, but.
Have you heard about the dong, too?
It's that Super Bowl commercial, and
it's like, at the end, Glenn Close shows up.
And what do you call it? Tina Faye has to go,
Glenn Close, because,
hey, get it for Slow Joe in the back row.
That's all we do now. It's just like
peppering celebrities that are just,
Just celebrities, celebrity, celebrities.
Anyone that ever had juice ever can be, is so much better than an actual voice actor, which is not correct.
You pay your mortgage for the year and you just fucking show up and do nothing.
You know, it was fun at a time, right?
Like one of those Austin Powers movies, you got Tom Cruise cameo.
And it's like, oh, whoa, but now that is everything.
That is everything.
So you can just point me.
So we can all become the Leonardo DiCaprio once upon a time in Hollywood meme of him pointing at the TV.
We recognize thing.
But yeah.
Chris, so honestly, what is your opinion of that Garfield movie?
Five stars?
It's a horrible.
I mean, it's a horrible movie.
It's horrible.
Because people liked the Super Mario Brothers.
I thought I liked it too.
I can't remember a thing about it, but I saw it.
I watched it a second time, not as high.
And I kind of enjoyed it.
I think the best part about that Mario movie is the score.
The score, it fucking rocks to that movie.
I had fun of my nephews are cute watching it.
I mean, that's sure.
So this is going to be this.
My niece enjoyed it.
Well, see, that's, that's like the film critics
bring the fucking kids in the theater. And, you know, there
is a, you know, a sense of kids' movies
aren't made for lone men.
Oh, sure. Polishing a gun at 3 o'clock in
army jackets. One for Garfield, please.
He had actually shown you, right?
Yeah, I grew up on this property.
I mean, it's just like... This is my childhood on screen
and if it's not the exact childhood that I remember
I'll fucking open a fire in this theater.
I mean, I would like to meet that man.
He says, I guess I have a lot good ideas.
Uh-huh. But, uh, my journal, like, I don't
expect, like, you to do the exact same thing. Like, the character does not have to be what I
remember it, but it does have to be at least interesting, like a little compelling. You can't
just be talking into a microphone. You have to be doing a character. And it's just, it's like
an action movie for most of it. But so what? He's like training for a mission into an organic
dairy. No, no, no. Oh, my God. Any lasagna at the very beginning, but not lazy. Not really
lazy at all. No. I don't know. I don't like a workhorse scarf. No, not at all. And that
you might be at home be like, what are they going to talk about a tail of two
kitties? Don't worry, folks. We will. There's only 71
minutes of content in this. We're flapping. We're padding.
This is professional padding right now. I got more
questions about this movie.
But think about back in the day, right?
Our like earliest ass episodes,
we didn't know what the fuck we were doing. Those episodes are like
35 minutes long. Exactly. If we
weren't just talking about the state of
like celebrity voice acting right now,
like this would be the shortest episode of
WeA movies to every. There is nothing
here, folks. There's nothing with this movie.
Five minutes of credits on either end, it felt like, and then it's 79 minutes.
There's a dance montage, a baby bop ass dance montage at the end.
Okay, let's not get into it yet.
We got a pad, remember.
So this Garfield movie, better than the, this is a sequel to a Garfield movie, which was better?
You know, out of all three, the new one, the one we already did a previous episode on and a tale of two kitties, which is the best?
The new one, the new one would have to be.
be the worst because are you kidding me
worse than this? Of course it's worse than this. That's
stunning. What a remark? How long
is this movie? 71
minutes. 71 minutes versus like
I think 98 or something like that.
At least it's not two hours though
I mean I thought that's what was about to come out of your mouth.
I would say all about a table of two kitties
that, see we're talking about
I think it's better than the first
Garfield movie. I think it's superior to the
first Garfield. Because of the runtime?
The runtime is great. I just
there's effort by Bill Connolly.
Connolly's actually putting some effort in here.
I think is funny Billy Connolly in this.
I think he's good. He's kind of like a British
Proto, like
Dabney Coleman vibe in this.
And also the story makes more
sense because it's a tried and true
Prince of the Popper. It's a
very tried and true
genre of story as opposed to the first
Garfield movie was like meandering and then at the end
he's go to a TV station or whatever.
But there's a whole story there
and let me remind you guys.
I know. Tobo.
Of course.
That's true.
That's true.
I'm not saying he's better than Billy Connolly,
because I do think Billy Connolly is the shining star
of this fucking awful movie.
And Billy Connolly is Scottish, right?
Yes, I think so, yeah.
But he's playing British in this, right?
Yeah.
I think he's trying to de-scotify the voice
maybe a little, I don't know.
I thought he was playing English or whatever
as this character.
Because he's supposed to be like English royalty.
Right, that's, you know, I know people over there
shit blood when I get it wrong,
so I just want to make sure I'm getting it right.
Do they take photos of the shitty blood?
or they send them in
post on Twitter
hashtag shitty blood
we ain't movies
we are gonna get a PO box eventually
and you need to get Polaroids
of shitty blood for Eric
Oh just send in the sheets dude
Oh there you know
Smarter
Send in the sheets
Send in the sheets
Ooh that means the nuclear test
When it was
Bloody shitty shitty sheets
Nuclear shit
Here's a gross thing
Speaking of this movie though
When it starts with like
The Fairy Tale kind of opening or whatever
And you see this flag that's like kind of a, like a crest of family crest kind of thing.
And it's Garfield and it's supposed to be drawn like a Griffin kind of.
And it's Garfield like this long fucking lizard tail.
Yeah, it's gross.
Man, interesting to start with a fairy tale and like, you know, your crass characters take it down fairy tales in an animated context.
What was huge?
Oh, Shrek.
Oh, right.
Yeah, I mean in 06, how many Shrek's do we have at this point?
at least two, right? Yeah, and Shrek takes
place in England as well, right?
That's my read on the situation.
I mean, if Kier-Starmer isn't in there, I think
Shrek is going to be the next main PM.
I think he's got to be. Oh, sure. I love that.
Yeah. I was against Brexit.
Finally. But he's Scottish, right? Can they become
premier? Well, you would have to take it by force, Eric.
I mean, at that point, you would have to bring in your army.
Like a Shrek William Wallace.
Yes, hell yes.
Oh, dude, I'd love to see you watch if I could split fucking 10 ways.
Yes, they'd bury his head somewhere and the legs another place.
I love that.
Oh, that would be the perfect way for Shrek to end up in my book.
You also have in this little animated opening, dude, Breck and Meyer as Humpty Dumpty, that's degrading.
And then Jennifer Love as Little Red Riding Hood.
And then they ran out of doing that, I guess, even though there's other characters in the movie, but they stopped.
They just, it's amazing, you're right, because it's like this big opening.
and here is Garfield
the tale of actual real places
It's kind of stunning
I mean so not only is Billy Connolly in this
You have Ian Abercrombie
Of course best known as Mr. Pitt
From Seinfeld as like the butler
Also the wise old man
An Army of Darkness
Oh shit you're right
Oh hell yeah
He's a nice flavor
I like it when he shows up
Yeah he's floating around in this
Lucy Davis from the office
And Sean of the Dead
Is in some role
that I can only determine
is massive scenes deleted.
Yeah, and it's more
dad bait, you know, we were talking about
because she is like barely dressed
this entire movie, as is Jennifer
Love Hewitt. Oh my God, the cleavage.
And this Garfield sequel was...
It's something for daddy or the
lone men. Now, Chris, this new
Garfield movie, any bodacious
boobs? No. Oh, here's
something I, because I haven't seen anything about it. No.
I like that. Is it...
Because I know nothing about it. I haven't
the trailer or anything. Is it full on
animation or is it the live action
hybrid animation? Oh, is it? Okay. It's
very much, it's, I hate
this style. It's like the, uh, if anybody's seen
even stills from the recent
Adams family, uh, animated
I don't care for that animation style. It's really cheap
looking, really smooth, just to
clean over everything else
and like, no real style. No design to it.
Like, yeah, it's really bad. You know what I don't
like about this one is, or this whole
these two movies. Sure. You got
the actual animals. Right.
interacting with
Garfield, who is a not, you know,
he's a not an animal, it's just a, you know,
it's a CGI guy. And the world, so here's an
interesting thing, the in the world, and again,
please forgive me, I never listened to old episodes,
so maybe Doug this last time. Sure.
Now, it was one thing,
it was Garfield is the only orange tabby that,
the only animal that is CGI, I kind of understand
that decision, even though I agree with Eric, it's really
bizarre, especially when he's talking to Odie.
But now his doppelganger is also
are all orange tabby's
CGI in this world?
Maybe. They've got some disease.
I see, yeah.
Apparently universe where they just didn't make them.
They're like the do-do.
It's not here anymore.
I think if you have an orange tabby that is like
from another worldly shaped like Garfield
because that has to be CGI
because then that would be the thing, right?
You just get an orange tabby
and it doesn't have the gut and the big fat ass and whatever
and then you just be like, well, that doesn't look like Garfield.
I mean, what are you going to do when you need this tabby to dance to the worst cover of cat scratch fever ever, man, and also most of black eyed peas pump it.
Oh, dude.
By the way, that was a baby boppin.
Yes.
People do not know this.
People might have forgotten this, but there was a time where every single movie had to have it.
Commercial, everything had to have the black eyed piece.
It had to be there.
Every single.
In the first movie, there's black eyed piece.
So this is like, it's kind of a.
callback. Everybody was waiting for
Unpopular opinion. Some of the worst music
ever made. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's not an unpopular
I thought the kids would kill me for set.
I mean, maybe some of them, but that's, it's some of the worst music you'll ever
hear. Yeah. So we start, we see
Ian Abercrombie as the Butler deliver, you see the great
Carlisle Manor, yeah? I didn't look up where this was. It wasn't even
in the trivia. England. Yeah, I should know what the house was.
Oh, I thought something was made mentioned in the trivia. Maybe not,
I don't know. I could not. I did like this
I wanted to cry blood after watching
I could not I could not
bring myself to read that trivia. All I know
is it's not the Downton Abbey
House. And he gives him
a plate of is it a Carlisle Logge?
The Carlisle Log at Carlisle Castle.
Dude, it's like eating fucking Buffalo Wings within the
city limits. I would like a Carlisleog
audits. It looked pretty good. Liver and
kidney meatloaf. Yeah. Wow.
Could I get it in pudding form?
No, no, no. I bet you, Steve.
It tastes like shit.
All right.
that out there. If it propents who makes
it, but clearly I would want the lasagna.
It's okay to eat logs.
Everyone can eat logs. Yeah, all those people eat logs
out there, dude, don't worry about it. I got a question.
Yeah. The
Prince is, Prince, the
other cat, is
voiced by the great Tim Curry.
I think this role is what gave him the stroke, by the way.
I was curious. This is pre-stroke.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure, yes.
And like, he sounds like he's doing
a bad Tim Curry impression the entire year.
I did not know it was him until the end.
Because it's just, it's a little higher for some reason.
Maybe he's trying to do a character.
I'm curious.
She is.
I think he's trying to put something into it and it's just like,
it's kind of nasally.
I wouldn't be surprised it was maybe modded a little bit in post.
Sure.
You know, he is, you know, he's given a performance for better or worse.
It is a character.
It's a voice.
I mean, it sounds like Tim Curry, but it's not just Chris Pratt reading a line of dialogue.
What they have, my beautiful boy, Bob Hoskins, doing in this.
Oh, that's humiliating.
That really hurt.
That one, you know what?
You got me on that.
That actually hurt me.
My dead man gives a fart five stars.
He has to drive Garfield all around to all of the Johns that Garfield goes.
Oh, that's one of them.
I got an Arbuckle in every state.
Don't fall in love with Michael Cain, Garfield.
Don't do it.
Yeah, so then we do cut back to wherever any town, USA that John Arbuckle lives.
That's the thing is like, if you're going to call that, you're going to be, all right, you don't
have to do tale of two cities, although someone
should go to jail for making this.
But you need
a city. You need a city. You need
to be like it's London,
just underlined, and
whatever this L.A. adjacent
city is. A tale of two houses,
I guess, is what it mostly is.
It's so weird that this movie, like,
which again, I think that this movie is more meat on the bone
than the first movie, and it actually
leaves all that meat on the bone because it doesn't do
like, I don't know, Garfield
going up to fucking Big Ben and be on the go,
what's that about? Like, you know what I mean?
Let's just take advantage of that. He's steady poses
with it for a photo or something.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, doing the same tourist photo that millions
of people have made. We get the stupid,
we do get one stupid, uh, royal guard
joke. You have to, you have to legally.
Oh, yeah. I mean, I wanted him to shit in the queen's
face or something, you know, having a little
fun with it. But I would. A cat is shitting in my
face. Yeah. Secure the queen
or Garfield, too. That would be good.
I'm laughing already. And I think the fart
gag we're coming up to was pretty good
as well. Yeah, because we're not
yet, we haven't seen Helen Mirren as the queen
yet, so maybe after that
you could have gone her and there. I think it was the same
year though. She is
in the field and she sees
Garfield running past and she goes
oh, now I have feelings
so many feelings about dead Princess Diana
but I'll keep them inside.
My sweet one,
she was just like an elk.
So Garfield is
interrupting like date night. We've got
John Arbuckle rose petals all over the floor.
2006, this candy-colored shirt, man, this candy-striped shirt, we were wearing, we were wearing them.
We were wearing them.
Pretty sharp.
I think, you know, I don't like it when they're too shiny.
Yes, this is a little shiny.
I'm okay with stripes.
I'm a striped guy.
I like stripes, too, but this is a, it's like different colors.
It's like blue and like white.
He looks like he should be serving you ice cream in 1956.
We were wearing it at the, it was the style at the time.
Of course.
Real bad.
But I got that photo with, what's his name?
Fuck.
Lennel?
Crispin Glover.
Ken Russell.
Thank you.
The director of the Devils, et cetera, et cetera.
Many great films.
I'm wearing a shirt practically just last year.

Chris, this new movie.
Any bestiality? No.
Fuck.
Sounds like this movie's got a whole lot of nothing.
Yeah. Sounds like this is the better. Don't go.
Just rent this for the kids.
But he's got rose petals everywhere. He wants to,
I mean, I guess proposing at your house, it's pretty cheap.
Yeah, sure.
That's what I did.
Thanks a lot, Steve.
No, it's not that. I'm just saying.
Rose pedals were all over the floor, weren't they, Andrew? So it was nice.
See, they gave you a.
discount if you just take the pedals.
If you want a full rose, they make you
pay this. Full disclosure, I've proposed to my house too.
But it's not, I don't know, just, you know,
for a movie, it's like usually you go to a bullshit.
A movie, absolutely. In real life, because
I'm terrified of making a scene and I
don't need to be dealing with that. Oh, like,
signaling the waiter, no thing.
And you know what, skip all that.
Go to makeout lane.
Makeout points, right? Get shot
by the Zodiac.
What could be more romantic?
Now, that would be an antagonist.
in this regard. Well, dear,
then we've been together.
Bind your hands now. Oh, great.
Oh, great. It's you.
Wrap it up. Put this rope around your
legs. No, you tie him up.
Tighter. Tider.
Actually, could I just, I need to see. Is that a real gun?
Let me see these bullets. I'm going to do that.
But I mean, if I was so dang, I would kill him too.
I love that. I love that line.
Just because people are going to ask, was that even a real gun?
I'm like, dude, right between the eyes, nerd.
Yep. Yep, Blamtown, dude.
That's what you get for fucking asking questions.
You know what, lady, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry you had to deal with that man.
Here, I'm going to cut these.
You're a free.
You're free.
I'm going to kill his guy.
But if we went to make a point, you'd have some sensuality in this movie, you know?
Absolutely.
You know, instead of beastiality.
Yeah.
There is a photo of, so he's like, he's getting all pumped.
He's like, oh, I'm going to propose to Liz today, blah, blah, blah.
And he's got this framed photo of Jennifer Love Hewitt that looks like, I mean, it is a, it is clearly
just a frame from the first movie
and the way that it is in this frame
and the where he's like got it position
it looks like it is on the top of
a closed casket funeral situation
it is just the weirdest
like why would you have this fucking
picture the way it is you know it's nice
I would like this photo actually
one time we can uh my I was away of college
my mother put two like high school
photos of me and my brother up
with a candle in between it and we're like
this is not this we're not doing this
neither of us are dead
No, and it's all you have to do is
it's the quick removal of the candle.
You can have frame photos of your beloved sons,
of course, but the candle implies
they have crossed over the other side.
It was a dead to me type of situation.
You know what, Mom?
She is vindictive. The card with the Jesus
on isn't making it better. I'm going to be, you know,
I know you mean like bless them and whatever,
but. Oh, that's not an urn, sweet.
It's an ashtray, but I just put it between
you two. Want a hard candy?
What is like the, what is
the rule of thumb here for when someone
dies like do you put up do you have to put up a recent photo or could you use that like the high school
era photo for remembrance i kind of love in i on i mdb specifically you're it's kind of this weird
uh i think it's a rule where like you're old until you die and then they're reverse
they do the legacy photo because then you're in heaven younger right exactly yeah they deaged you with
cg i guess the idea is if you're on i b is like ah i want to get uh burnt lancaster oh no he's yeah
that's him from 1948 so he's dead yep
You know what I mean?
Or if you're like, somebody else, I don't know, an older person that's alive now,
you'd be like, oh, that's what they look like now.
You know what?
Here's one, you know, I'm sure it's any year now because
dude is coming to the end of the line.
They will do that for Eastwood.
Yes.
Because Eastwood right now, I think his photo is like him just as an old dude.
Yes.
When he eats shit, it's going to be man with no name era.
I can see that happening for sure.
But he is also, for sure, one of the guys who would want to go out.
I mean, he's not going full out like Hackman,
but like wants to look as grody as shit
oh yeah and just is like letting it go
because you see him with the
the pictures from juror number two with the fucking beard
he looks bad with a beard
he looks like a guy that's been
he fell on the floor and nobody knew
he'd fallen for like a week
that fucking picture him that's exactly what he looks like
someone helped this poor man
no no I think he's living his best
I think Hackman now like at his most
unhealthiest he's actually living his best life
right so yeah
this is on her way
John puts on some romantic music
And Garfield's like, uh-uh, fat-ass Garfield
Here comes a fat-ass baby-bop song
Now, who is doing this cover, Chris?
I don't know, but they were making me yearn for Ted Nugent
Which is something I'm not comfortable with.
Well, the only reason I asked it is I thought it was the Nugent
No, it's not. Oh, interesting.
For sure not.
Because, but Murray is singing over the kids' grinch fever
Better fucking vocal talent than goddamn Ted Nugent
That guy, piece of shit.
That was a big.
Beast lover
Yes, he did
I'm looking at it up
Because I'm curious
But it's a weird
Like he's like
Garfield
It's gonna be
Romantic music
I'm proposing and Liz
And we get this thing
Where if you ever
Were warranted
Even just like
A couple seconds
Of a flashback of it
Get him done up
In a costume of some kind
Garfield's like
You know John
I liked you better
When you were a metal head
Oh really?
I missed that like
He's like you used to be a metal guy
What happened to all the metal?
Oh wow
That's cool
Cut to Breck and mine
as a fucking metal kid in the
90s? I know it's problematic
in whatever, but you should still wear your
mayhem shirts and your Bersam shirts
and all those. I don't understand
why you're being so silly about this.
In this number, right, Garfield
puts the ring up his ass or
something, he's taken it. He eats it by accident.
Stole it, yeah. And
to prevent John from marrying
a girl, what? A girl
and a vet, too.
Nasty, marry me.
No, you're supposed to marry me, your cat.
The one who's shit you pick up
That's the one you're supposed to marry
Right
I was looking up
I can't
I MD just says it's
It's New Jean
But it doesn't say perform
But it might be modified in one way
Yeah
But so Liz shows up
And it's kind of this amazing thing
We're like
Again like there is
Again if this was a 90 minute movie
There would be a bit
Where they sat down to dinner
And Garfield
It interrupts his dinner
But she's immediately like
Hey everybody here's this
I gotta go.
It's like, what is the rush with this movie?
I don't get it.
We can't afford locations.
We got the manor.
Yeah, just do it there.
But even still, like, there's a dinner.
Like, just sit down to dinner.
You have the set.
There's a table.
Just sit down and have a scene with them.
No.
Garfield does something.
Odie does something.
But she's immediately like, hey, John,
guess what?
I have huge news.
I'm going to England for a conference.
But because Jane Goodall dropped out.
Yes.
And they got a nameless, faceless,
veterinarian from any town
USA to replace her as a speaker
number one. Number one
is James Goodall. Number two
the ghost of Carl Sagan. Number
three, Liz What's Her Face?
And shouldn't the movie end at
that big event? Sure.
A lot of shit happening there and that's
the ending at this big time.
Chris is doing that. The figure thing means the money
there. Yeah, I mean, it
doesn't even get to it in the movie. Like that event
doesn't happen in the motion picture.
But let this woman take. Let this woman
take her coat off before she gives
exposition. Because it's also a weird thing, right?
Because basically what happens is she comes over
to be like, oh, I can't have dinner
because I have to go home and pack because I'm
leaving tomorrow. That's not a good
sign for John Arbuckle in this proposal, by the
way. Like, what do you mean you can't sit down
to dinner because you have to go home and pack for like a
three-day business trip? What the fuck are you talking about?
It's insane. God, John is persistent.
And he does a crazy thing
to go and do that. That's the insane.
Here's a spoiler alert when you're
in a committed relationship. Just
let your partner go on their business
show. Oh my God. It's good for you.
It's good for them. It's lovely. They come
back. No, I got to follow her and I'm not going to tell her
and I got to be there and watch. I'm going to
watch her. All right. Garfield, get
my zip ties, my pillowcase
helmet and the whole Zodiac
costume. Yeah. Garfield, you've seen
the roll of duct tape? No, the bigger
one. But the whole thing, because
the whole thing should be about their relationship. Not
Lord Dargis. No. It should
he should follow her
and then they get to the event.
Garfield somehow ruins it.
It puts their relationship a little bit on the rocks.
That's at like 60 minutes.
And then you have the moment.
I get what you're saying.
The moment of loss and then they rekindle for the ending, Chris.
That is a John and Liz movie.
What is on the title?
Garfield.
Well, we've been proven time and time again.
You can't make that movie.
You can't make Garfield.
Here's the thing, though, right?
Like, Eric, when you were saying, you know, what should happen, it reminded me you should,
they should have just gone the route of make a,
carbon copy sequel because in that first movie
when John is trying to like
get in with this woman
and everything remember they go to she's judging
some sort of dog show and Garfield
goes and ruins that thing like there you go
they all go to this and Garfield
ruins that and just make it the same thing
exactly or you can even just make it another dog show
it's dog show too Death Star 2
no one cares
exactly
that's fine it's so
she's got in and out of this scene
immediately and then John immediately's like
well i guess i got a follower to england that's what that would be romantic wouldn't it no no one wants
you to she's excited to have like a couple of days to spread out on that bed the old oh my god it's
she would have asked you exactly it's definitely romantic and not pathetic or creepy at all no also
kind of it's not pathetic and it's not creepy it's just a weird choice is uh so he's he has
planned this whole thing to propose right and he's
making dinner. He's just
making this big baked turkey.
What the fuck? What are you talking about?
Yeah. This is more of a
one of the more sensual meats. A lighter pasta
kind of a scenario would be fine. Yep. Yep.
Exactly. We got to highlight American food,
the roast turkey versus British food,
the log of
some log of innards. Yeah. Well, and
also, you know for a fact, Garfield
loves turkey. So he eats
this thing and you when you're... Well, first he flirts.
with it. He flirts with it a little bit. He's about to
fuck it. Yeah. But he fucks eat it. After
that, John, I'm fucking the turkey. John, I'm fucking
the turkey. It's like a American pie, yeah.
But Garfield's, oh, oh, Garfield. Oh, we'll just tell
Odie, we ate it all. Oh, oh, you got me in a strangle
hole turkey. Oh, oh, oh my God. But like, you
are also, your lady friend, your girlfriend's coming
over right when your cat is going to be
the most violent shit known
to man. Sure. Like, with a whole
turkey stuff down that thing. I mean, I think that's
why he has to marry Liz, because she
has seen some violent shits from Garfield.
Oh, yeah. And she's okay.
Because it's just, that's her business. Like, she's a veterinarian.
Like, you know, what are you going to do? You got to marry
the veterinarian because it's free
health care. Exactly.
It's free healthcare.
Yeah. But so he drops
so, like, Garfield's like, oh, I guess we're
going to England. That's pretty exciting. So he gets
in the car, whoops and doodooly gets locked.
at a kennel. We get some...
Right. Again... He's being boarded for the trip.
This could be a six-minute
scene and it's really like 32-second.
It's crazy. Like, I don't understand
what the need was to cut
all this stuff out of the movie. Yeah, clearly there's more here.
The woman, by the way, playing the
kennel technician here.
We just saw her. We didn't talk
about her. Like small, like, you know,
she's just one in a crowd kind of
thing. She's a squad room
cop in Lethal Weapon 3.
Oh, okay. Very odd
connection there I made but yeah this lady
she's the lady who's like don't worry John
they'll be fine here at the kennel it's a theme month
for her
old what's her face month
I mean this is
welcome to what oh Jesus
what is it oh it's that fuck what
anyway so
and that's the whole that's the whole name of the theme
like the whole string words
that's how I feel about months right now I'm like
it's not may stop it
it's that lady Rory
but so he's doing like he's doing like a jailhouse gag
which again like you can get four to five minutes
out of Garfield doing a jailhouse gag
where is Garfield playing the harmonica
some other animal what are you in for
there's that there absolutely there's like maybe a couple
of nasty dogs like you get someone who gives like a nasty voice
voice right and then it's like dragging its ass on the floor
that'd be nice that'd be cool I mean I wonder I do wonder if it was
because we said that Murray is trying
it is he's putting effort in
but it is also gun to head voice
sure he's not like
fully going for he's just putting a little
bit in because everything that Bill Murray's
done for the last 30 years has been
gun to head voice live action or otherwise
but at least I get to see his face not the West Anderson's
oh yeah the man is he shows up for the
sure that's fair that jar mush is when he's there
yeah yeah that's fair I guess
should I go back and see the dead don't die
I saw a clip of it the other day I love it never saw it
but I know a lot of people hate it
I'm a big supporter of it.
I don't like it, yeah.
Tom Waits' performance you would love.
Okay, yeah, I should do it.
Just, I mean, like, think about, like, whether or not you like the Jarmish dryness.
And think about whether or not that would work for you in a zombie comedy.
He's not bending to genre at all.
I love Jarmish a lot, but that one just didn't work for you.
I got friends that, other friends that feel the same way.
So I've always been kind of on the fence.
Well, why don't you be the tiebreaker?
So Steve's favorite thing.
Stowe away.
But how, I mean, and, you know, of course, this is a stupid question for me to ask.
It's a Garfield sequel.
I understand it.
It is dumb that they are just able to throw all his clothes out of a suitcase and hide in it.
And this American flies internationally and the suitcase is like, PSA is like, yeah, that's fine.
I mean, you look like he's got some skeletons in there.
I had moose in my suitcase that I didn't check.
And they were like, excuse me, sir, this has to go to the garbage.
They were like, excuse me, sir, you have a cat and a dog in here?
Exactly.
Moose, like the animal?
No, yeah, I said a whole moose, no.
It's a chocolate mousse.
Yeah, okay, yeah, pomade or something, right?
But that's not even, like, liquid, is it?
It's foam, so it counts.
Oh, fominy.
Stupid shit.
Coolest thing is when you watch that, you shouldn't watch this movie, but if you do,
when this shot happens, you can literally see, like, the actor's arm just throw in the
fucking shit out of the window, like, get the fuck out of the stage handle.
Did you get the shot?
I didn't see it.
earlier scenes, but Garfield's got a really cool sleeve
tattoo, I saw it thrown clothes
out the window. Is that the cross? Is Jesus
okay with that? But yeah, you know,
it's a Garfield, we don't ask questions, but yes, it's
insane that this cat is able to make it through
customs. Yeah. Twice.
Yeah, that's right.
So, yeah, we go back to
Carlisle Castle and we're told that
the Lady Carlisle has departed,
and so this is where we are introduced.
One, Mr. Pitt, Ian Abercrombia's
Smithy, Roger Reese,
the late Roger Reese is here,
like the lead lawyer for this lady's estate.
Roger Rees is a good guy.
Shocking.
That is weird.
It's very weird.
Because even that fucking dastardly Robin Cole Court on chairs, I don't think so.
He's a lawyer, though.
Yeah, that's for your dad.
Well, I guess this is how much then Billy Connolly's crooked because it makes the lawyer
character seem like a...
Could you imagine?
How many times this you have to call Michael Clayton a month?
That's usually half.
If it's like a couple times here, you're fine.
But if it's like on a monthly basis, then you're definitely a bad lawyer.
So Billy Connolly is the lady Eleanor's nephew is the idea.
And so here we go.
It's the famous, you know, the will reading scene.
Oh, boy, is someone going to get screwed out of something.
Dargis, is it?
Dargis is his name.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They had a, maybe Manola Dargis gave the first one a really bad review.
Oh, my God.
So it's like the mayor Ebert situation?
The whole time I was thinking about that because he's just like,
He is getting home alone to this whole movie
From beginning to end
By barnyard animals
By barnyard animals and a CGI cat
So I was just like
He's a total fool
I can see them grinding a little axe here
That's fair
He gets his dick bitten later in the movie
Oh yeah
Twice I think
The dog
Possibly a third time
Rips his cock off at one point
But yeah
So it's reading the will
And it's like oh okay
Mr. Pitt
You get to live here in perpetuity
you'll always have a place to stay here
and you can continue taking care of all the animals
that I love. Oh, splendid.
He's super psyched about it,
living in a fucking huge castle for free, cool.
Can I get an assistant, Elaine?
I need someone to go sock shopping for me.
And then, uh-oh, here it comes.
I leave all my worldly possessions to,
could you even believe it Prince the cat?
Dude, there's an old David Crosbitt,
just about a old lady giving all her money to a cat.
and then in parentheses she said fuck the poor
because I mean literally these
lunatics leaving anything
other than like you know like
you want to make sure they're taking care of you want to make sure
you're like sure you leave the cat to
someone that you trust
what's that going to cost
$5,000 yeah sure yeah exactly
but like leaving
millions of dollars to a cat
doesn't know what to do with it the cat can't pay the utility
bill but that's how you know it's only
going to get what if you send it to the poor
they're going to spend on stuff they don't need
That's true.
This is very important to understand.
Food, clothes on their bag.
You're going to buy a cell phone.
Oh, no. They want
they want internet access.
And I'm sorry, that's fucking disgusting.
I mean, you should be looking for food, not internet access.
That would get you a fucking job.
The cell phone stuff is so funny because it's like, you mean the way the world works?
Dude, a pro tip for folks at home, anytime you hear someone complaining about a person who doesn't have much having a cell phone, that person who's saying that is one of the worst people in your life.
And you should really consider.
consider that idea.
There's a great scene,
I'm going off on this one,
a great scene from Fred
Wiseman's ex Libris
where it's just about a library
giving away internet access
and fucking cell phones.
And like, yeah, I was just like,
yes, that's what a public good is supposed to do,
you fucking idiot. These fucking
free loaders. Yeah, we got to close
those libraries, they got filthy books.
They do. They got people using the internet,
which I'm scared of. You should go get
a job somehow without a cell phone.
Yeah, go do that.
Why don't you just knock on doors?
That's what I did in the 1940s.
Pound the pavement.
Go flip some burgers.
Also, they might have a book about a Jonathan Glazer movie,
so they're also anti-Semitic.
So we just know, so that's good to know.
Yes.
Quick, we were talking about Manila Lagardegis and Mayor Ebert.
I saw this on the trivia, and I had to see it for myself.
Oh.
Roger Ebert was alive on June 15, 2006.
Oh, yeah, baby.
When he wrote his review titled Doppel Pussy.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Of course he did.
It starts out saying he was alive.
But he wrote it from the perspective of Garfield the cat.
Oh, that's incredible.
Dude, Raj was an artist.
Why don't you regale us with some of this?
I mean, it's a long one.
Just give us a little brief taste.
You can't tease that nugget.
You can not give me a little bite?
I don't watch a lot of television because if you spend all your time on the couch,
you would become the cat equivalent of a couch potato,
which would be one of those pillows with a crocheted message
as if you can't say anything good about someone, sit right here with me.
Jesus Christ, Raj.
But I confess, I watched Ebert and Roper on TV
when they reviewed my first movie Garfield two years ago.
Steve, could you do a Garfield affectation with your voice?
No, I can't.
I was eager to get my first review,
having years spent with the cramp panels of a newspaper comic.
I mean, this goes on.
Here you go, but I digress.
Yeah, get to the pussy.
Ebert, the smart and handsome one gave thumbs up to my first movie.
Oh, man.
But Roper, the other one gave thumbs down.
The ugly, you know, it's good.
I'm saying it's good.
Yeah, if you're going to throw that kind of heat, it's good.
Wait a second.
What is the star rating for this movie?
Three stars.
Three stars.
What is sick?
Fuck out.
Where's the, the dopple pussy?
Now, is that just the title, or is that?
I don't see, I don't see pussy anywhere in here.
Oh, man.
I wish we had the laptop that you could.
control what app and search for
You can do that on Iowa
You can do that's the fight you go to share
Right and then the menu comes up and you find
on page you know what no I shouldn't know this because I'm out
I got to go pound the pavement
I don't need to learn cell phone stuff
Don't talk pound the pavement don't talk about your sex life
I'm sorry all right
pound the pavement but in any of it my career
as a movie star now seems to be the real thing
and I'm speaking about my age about a third Garfield movie
in which I like my character to be based on
Casanova or Neil Armstrong
with a score by Josie and the
Pussy Cat. Excuse me. I was going to say, was Raj
taking some of the cancer medicine and he was a little
Ruby? Whether I get thumbs up
from Richard Roper is a matter of profound
indifference to me. Just ending
your review of Garfield, The Tale of Two Kitties, by saying
he should be an astronaut that gets sex.
I mean, like, honestly, like,
if you are dealing with, like,
it would be so much better if he actually hated it because it
would show that, like, you have to be inventive
with this thing. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you just
do the same old thing over and over again you're going
to lose what's good about you
but like he does shit like that
there was that fucking review of limits of control
where he was the movie
it is fucking nuts
that's all Jarmish too right
that is Jarmish and uh
again like I'm like are you fucking
it's the Brody thing where I'm like are you fucking serious
but you're also the best
yeah he was a legend
you could fuck around a little bit
complex legacy
but a good
A good man.
But so, yeah, so she leaves everything.
She leaves under the cat.
And in the case of the cat's death, it goes to Billy Connolly.
And that's like the big, oh, but I better go trying to kill the cat now.
Right.
It's like, oh, my God, that could be 15 years.
And it's like, okay.
Yeah.
So, it's 15 years.
Yeah.
But I want the money now.
I want the money now.
Give me the money.
Also, 15 years from now, Billy Connolly, he's got some grays in there.
The dick might not work as well in 15 years.
He's trying to bang Lucy.
Davis now. He's trying to bang Jennifer
of Hewitt now, and he needs the money now.
Hard-ons are now are happening
now. That's true. That's true.
They sure are. The dick that's hard now
is hard now. And it might not
be in 15 years. You just don't know that.
You know what? I failed to consider that, Chris.
It's a great point about this.
I don't think of Billy Connolly's impending
broken dick. Just trying to
give you some insight here. Well, remember, through
the events of this film of him trying, him trying
to get it now, costs him his dick.
It does. Yes. That's actually true.
Eventually a Rottweiler eats his jumps.
Yeah, a bruised ball sack.
We meet the rest of the crew here.
Yes, we got a bulldog played by Bob Hoskins.
It's kind of like the number one.
Yes.
And then...
He's kind of like the Mr. Pitt to the cat.
Yes, exactly.
You know, Mr. Pitt serves the humans.
Well, the lady's dead now, I guess.
But, yeah, he's a butlery kind of.
You got, what do you call it there?
Jane Leaves is a duck somewhere.
Richard D.
Grant's a parrot.
Richieie Grant is the
stuffy parrot, yes
The problem is some of these fuckers
Like they weren't like they have names on IMDB
But I was missing
What the animal was
Yeah, because I was like
Which one is Jane Leaves
I don't know that they ever said the duck name
A Wikipedia had it
It's yeah
Which is which
You only get
I only noticed
Riceiffins
Towards the very end
When the rabbit
He's the rabbit
Oh I thought he
Oh
The guy who's the weasels
Like a British stand up or something
I think
That sounds right
And then, of course, Vinnie Jones
Oh, God, Sherrod Oswald is a goose
Yuck. Oh, no.
It's 2006. Jim Piddick is a bull
Jim Piddick from the great
Mighty Wind movie.
That's right, Andrew, we were talking
right before we went on air here
about how they should have incorporated
some of the, and friends type of stuff.
Put an inflatable, like,
what was the tube around one of the ducks?
Yep.
Have a little fun with it.
That'd be a great crossover kind of thing.
Me a pig named Orson, goddammit.
That's the thing.
Like, there's a pig in this.
movie and it's just, I don't even think
the pig has a voice. The pig's just kind of
like a worker for the rest of the
barnyard folks. Vinnie Jones of course does
voice the Rottweiler
whose name is Rommel
which I can only imagine.
Because it's a Rottweiler.
That's right. It's a Rottweiler.
Nazi general.
That's equal and equal. I do kind of
agree if you go to anyone's house like
Rommel, come here now.
You're like, oh, Jesus Christ.
You're like, oh, that guy's got a Confederate
flag in the living room.
out now, Rommel, Himmler, Goebbels.
These are my mice, Adolf and Goebbels.
And, yes, this old lady, I guess she was for the Blitzkrieg, I assume.
Is that the idea?
A lot of the high-class British, right?
They had like a king that they were planning on putting in, like, what was his name, Edward?
Oh, it was the king that was supposed to be the Nazi king.
They actually had a Nazi king's speech.
Oh, the guy who abdicated?
Yeah, he was a Nazi?
Yeah, oh, yes.
Oh, is that right?
Oh, yeah.
I think in the movie, they suggest that towards the end of it.
Oh.
But it's been a movie nobody should remember.
Nobody should ever rewatch the King's speech in their life.
I mean, they're all kissing cousins with the crowds.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, so Billy Connolly, wasting no time.
Like the same afternoon, kidnaps this cat, puts it in a fucking picnic basket.
Yes.
Takes it to the edge of the property, throws this fucker in a river, adios prints the cat.
He pulls a Noah, you know.
Sure, yep.
Let the river take him.
Flanters a god,
Flaters the god,
drop your cloud and save my talk.
And it just shows you
this guy doesn't want to get his hands dirty
because a smart person would just take the cat apart.
Wait, hold on.
Grand Budapest hotel style.
Wow.
But also like to your,
I mean, yes,
I kind of agree,
like I think, you know,
throw in a fucking cat in a basket in the water.
I think you're killing the cat.
Yeah.
That's just getting your hands dirty
as most people will get.
Like it's a picnic basket.
So it's, you know,
it's a weave kind of.
The water's getting right in there.
Especially with this fucking obese cat.
That's going to sink to it like a stone.
No, you've got to destroy the Evans by eating it.
Make up high like in Young Einstein.
Oh, there you go.
Oh, they had the right idea.
He should have went to the pub.
Like, this is what you could get, like, I don't know.
Any old fucking Harry Potter actor, get Alan Rickman there and he's like,
I'll take care of the cat for $10,000.
Absolutely.
And he comes in and he's like an evil.
That would be funny, right?
Yeah, that's sort of, now it's a little.
little bit like a movie we didn't really like
right the 101 Dalmatians yes
it would kind of have that element of the
guys going in to try to kill yeah and like
you know what that is dude that's an extra
scene for this 71 minute
movie you know what I mean you could you could
oh man maybe it would hit
80 minutes yeah maybe 80 minutes
without your credits this guy you know
Billy Connolly I think is good enough in the movie but
it's not a very compelling antagonist
no well no because it's all I mean
I mean I hate to really harp
on this but this is always always my issue
It's like, it's all plot.
Like, the minute it starts, it's just like, well, no, we can't have any character building.
The next thing has to happen.
Right.
That's good thing.
Oh, okay, you know what?
We have some downtime.
Where's that black guy piece from?
Let's make some of the worst.
Meanwhile, so like the cat's in the river.
Meanwhile, John finally surprises Liz and Liz does not throw up or called the police.
No, it's strange.
He's in.
the same hotel as you're okay also like when we have john getting to england it's a
dave clark five's glad all over because you bet your ass we're not licensing any beetles tunes no
just get some shit that kind of sounds like it that'll do not so bad i mean like you would have
to get me the yard birds hey liz uh i know it's surprised to see me i got us tickets tonight
for this movie called peeping tom it's supposed to be a class it's supposed to be really good and i'm
I've heard good things about it.
Yeah, he is
in the same hotel. And so the
bellhop there, he's like,
take this note to the lady in room
237. Tell her I
want to see it. And I'm like, dude,
it's a bad idea from the jump, of course.
But now this is
an even worse way to execute your
bad idea. Just have a
bellhop come to the door
and be like, here's a note. Like, I want to know what that
note says. Because if it doesn't say love John,
you're a fucking psycho.
Especially if you're Jennifer Love Hewitt by yourself.
You get a note from some guy, meet me in my hotel.
I'm good.
Thanks.
I thought we were setting up a joke scene with her and the bellhop or whatever.
And instead, she just instantly walks in the room.
She just shows up.
I got the note and then I love you.
What if?
Okay, here's something.
Maybe this was kind of like a food fight situation.
Hear me out.
We're making this movie.
We have Garfield Taylor 2 Kitties.
All this footage, all these great scenes from this amazing script.
Uh-oh.
there was a chemical fire at the lab
and we lost a bunch of reels
all the negatives were gone
we lost fucking 60% of the movie
yeah I believe it
right it kind of makes sense
it would play
but no she's not disgusted
she's delighted
that John Arbuckle is here
I mean she's got to be put up
because you got to keep in mind here
when she left it wasn't like
oh God John okay so here
you can contact this person
if you if I don't like if you don't hear from me
or something there's no like
emergency stuff going on.
There's no, like, intimacy suggested.
So you're just, like,
well, what exactly?
Did you even, like, call the person she was here with to be like,
hey, I have a surprise for leaves.
Do you want to help me out a little bit here?
No, she's probably like, oh, hey, John, call me at the hotel.
I'm staying here, blah, blah, blah.
Some people do that.
I don't know.
I would hope.
I mean, if you're that close.
But in 2006, like, there should be cellular telephones.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Dealing with this.
No, no, nope, nope.
That's from the state.
pound the pavement, okay?
International plans at the time
not as easy to switch that shit over
as it is now.
Also something that would stop me dead
in my tracks and I'm like, hey, I just
stalked my girlfriend across the world.
About to really get my fucking stalking.
I'm going to propose to her so I could
keep her forever.
Oh, yeah.
Not let her out of my clutches.
You're mine.
But my small dog and fat cat
have stowed away and it popped out of my bag
They're just like, what Garfield?
All right, well, there's food there.
I'll talk to you later, Garfield.
I'm like, no, what the fuck just happened?
This is your day.
This is your day now is figuring out what you do with your cat and your dog
that somehow stowed away overseas with you.
And not just, you'll be fine in this hotel room alone.
Roll with it.
I would be checking them for cuts and stuff.
Like, what the fuck happened to these animals?
You get them, you put them down.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
You did all your things.
Liz actually has something, has a line that actually makes sense.
She's like, well, you've got to be careful.
They have quarantine laws over here.
Of course they do.
You can't just bring an animal across overseas.
And I'm sorry, but Chekhov's quarantine law.
Dude, she fucking says that.
Odie gets taken by some very cartoonish dog mapper kind of character.
Hello, little guy.
Where do you think you're going?
That's fucking something.
Oh, I'm having a good time with the movies.
I might get a second popcorn if I might watch it twice.
It's so good.
I like these ideas, but I got to warn you guys.
We're getting dangerously close to a role that they,
would offer to Ricky Jervais and I cannot
I cannot stand by that that cannot be happening
here that I really that's where
my line is oh boy that guy huh
yeah that guy
he's an atheist dude and you better
fucking believe it oh my god wow
that's crazy it's really cool
I don't know you're face and all that
I mean considering his career at the current state
I would start believing in God
did he just won like a golden globe or
something for a stand-in special yeah
people love
I remember when that happened and I
My only thought was Ricky Jervais had a new stand-ups.
Yeah, what the fuck?
Barry that shit in the fucking Netflix bathroom.
Oh, you are woke bloke.
You a woke bloke.
He is one of the most difficult dudes for me because, like, I despise literally almost everything he stands for,
except he does have a really good heart when it comes to animal rights, and I hate it so much.
I hate it.
I just want to be able to fully hate him.
That's usually the saving grace.
If people know they're annoying, they're like, you know what?
But I'm putting all the money towards dogs.
Yeah.
Tons and tons of money towards dogs and cats.
Yeah.
So, meanwhile, back at the castle, Billy Connolly is thrilled.
He tells Roger Reese immediately that the cat has gone missing.
And he's like, well, I guess we'll be back at the castle on Monday to investigate and then we'll sign over the deed to you.
Billy Connolly sets up a deal with Lucy Davis immediately in a very slim, skimpy dress coming in.
Absolutely.
You know, if it's one thing, if you had, if you were forced to make a one word review of Garfield, the Tale of Two Kitties, one word that you could use is Tittacular.
It is Tittacular.
It's insane.
Something for the lone men.
Yeah, one for Garfield, the tail of two kitties, I'll be in the bat.
I heard it's pretty titacular.
Oh, sir, you still have your zodiac costume.
I heard Ian Amber Cromby's in it.
I'm just such a big sign-belt fan, man.
I just, I got it.
I mean, Mr. Pitt, you so rarely see those talents outside of the small screen.
You got to go.
And so he's got Lucy Davis.
Of course, it's going to be a land deal where he's going to bulldoze the place
and he's going to turn it into a resort.
And she's like, what about all these animals?
Oh, well, either kill him or cook him for the guest team.
And then he's like, there's condos going up.
We've got the whole model of like, I present to you, Delta City.
Which also, again, this is like a half-bake thing
That kind of comes to nothing
Because like when all is
Done and you know
And over with in this movie
He's not like
And me plans for the resort
They're cooked
Like there's nothing
When all is done and dusted
Right?
Yeah
He grabs her and he's like
Well I'm taken
He's like well I'm quite taken with you
Oh man
No but seriously stop touching me
I'm pushing my boot and against your leg
Can you feel me hard
Willie against your leg
I can and I'm going
to call the police.
Call a Bobby. It's 2006.
Who would care?
Well, you got a point there. Maybe the duck will save me.
I mean, the fucking, I hate this shit where it's just like,
the Billy Connolly's entire, like, what he wants is just money and like condos and
just, ah, it's not something you actually care about.
It doesn't, like, it would be funny if he actually had a vendetta against the lady.
And they showed it.
Well, or it's a thing, right, where he's pissed off and it's like, you know,
I waited on her hand and foot, you know, in her final years, and she screwed me, you know, and that's transformation.
That's going from a meek character.
You get to turn into a villainous character.
Right.
That's an interesting thing to do.
We also get a little, there's, like, tourism going on because everyone knows that the cat now runs the estate.
Sure.
So, Billy Conley's like going around, trying to do his plans or whatever, and he runs into Mr. Melissa McCarthy for five seconds.
Oh, this one happens earlier.
Yeah, it's the same tourist group thing.
It's the rarest of a fucking by himself Ben Falcone fucking.
Yes.
It's the rarest of all things.
And this is like a pre-fame Ben Falcone too where it's like I've got I've got money or my wife's fame.
Either way, we've got it.
We've got money to help me take care of myself a little bit.
Like this dude looks like a college student that just rolled out the bed.
I mean, he is disheveled in this movie.
What I heard was he was asking the director a bunch of questions about how to direct a bad movie.
You know what he was like,
was shadowing. How do you...
What is a bad decision? Oh, that's interesting.
Hear me out. I don't want to make a good move.
I want to make a series
of bad move. I have a really talented
wife that I want to ruin her career.
Oh, he directed some of those? Oh, yeah. He directed a lot
of those. A bunch of her movies, dude.
What were those like, spy?
No, the spy was Paul Feig.
The good ones are not him.
Tammy, I think, might have been him. I guess I just don't remember
these movies. I think Tammy might have been him.
Did he do identity theft with her
and Bateman, I think? That's another piece of
shit movie. I'm going to pull it up. Here we go.
But yeah, no, he's directed
a couple of real, real bad ones. It's okay
to like them, too. And he still can't make him
this short. He's still chasing the
shadow of Garfield, too.
He can't get it that short.
Speaking of him being... He suckled at the tea to the master,
my friend. Speaking of him being in
movies that his wife is in, I did not notice,
does he pop up and unfrosted or no?
Oh, I couldn't tell you.
He has directed Tammy, the
boss, life of
the party? The boss is a bad
one because that's just kind of a remake-ish of
Troop Beverly Hills, which is a way better movie.
Super Intelligence, which I never heard of.
That's the one that everybody agrees is the worst of the bunch.
Is that the one where she's a superhero?
No, that's the next one, which he also directed.
Thunder Force, ladies and gentlemen.
I have not seen any of these.
She's the queen of secret movies.
She did that genie movie last Christmas or whatever the fuck.
Yeah, I think Super Intelligence is the, like, Alexa.
it's a super Alexa
When an all-powerful superintendents chooses to study
An Average Carol Peters to fade to the world
Hanks in the balance
As the AI decides to save or enslave
Or destroy humanity
It's up to Carol
To prove that people are worth to say
Could you imagine if it was down to Carol?
Oh, could you just?
Oh my God
That's a funny premise.
You know, I got all these bad movies in my head
You know, I'm a young guy
I just want to get him out.
Get him out.
What's the best way to explain to an executive
They've had to piss away millions of dollars on a project.
I'm coming to you, director of Garfield and Taylortony.
They love pissing, too.
Here, let me show you a picture of my wife in my wallet here.
Give me money, please.
Another bad, like, I guess it's, I mean, it's got to be for the dads, you know, and the adults in general.
Sure.
When, so of course, Garfield and Odie, they fake like a room service call or, or no, uh, housekeeping comes.
and they're, they're escaping.
Garfield, 100% does a fava beans and a nice chaotic joke.
And you're just like, yeah, let's get some,
let's get out of here and get some chow before I eat you, Yodi.
I'm going to eat you with.
That's what it is.
16 years later.
Just rolling my eyes, dude.
And, well, you know, little kids love silence of the lines.
Oh, they do, yeah.
Buffalo Bill's the best.
Buffalo Bill, Buffalo Bill, Buffalo Bill, Buffalo Bill.
It's Black I. Peas start playing.
Let's bump our ass to Buffalo Bill.
Ted Levine just passes the camera, looks directly at it.
Hi, kids.
Tonight's going to be a good, good night.
Oh, I can't even get involved with this lasagna.
Oh, dude, it's the black eyed peat that Ted Levine puts on a hat and tight dance in it.
And it's all in night vision.
Of course.
No, but so then now, goodbye horses.
Now that was a bopper.
That's a baby bopper.
So you get, now you finally get some Garfield running around.
I think this is the Big Ben Pitt.
This is when he goes up to the queen.
He's like, these people can't do anything.
Dude, did you guys notice the line that he tosses at the queen here?
And I think it's got to be a, we want the adults to use their brain to replace one word for another.
The queen is coming through.
And of course, it's like the queen's corgis.
So that's what we're focusing on.
And you don't see the face of the actress.
This looks cheap
It's terrible
That's no queen
That is no queen
That is no hill of mirror either
But he goes
And the queen
Like ignores him or whatever
And Garfield is offended
Right
He calls the queen
A stuck up little punk
Oh wow
Punk
What other words
Got a you and an end
Right in the middle
Dude I was I was blur
I deposit rewind
He should have just said it
They love saying it over there
I know they do
I know they do
But we can't say it here
Why can't I say
I don't know how that happened
They get to do
it and we don't. I don't know how it happens.
Oh, come on. Let's have Garfield say it. They don't know what it means.
Yeah, these little kids aren't going to be. Come on.
And now in this scene, Garfield's ordering some, what we would call cigarettes.
Let's see what happens. Let's take a look.
They don't know what it means. Just let it fly.
What a wild country they got. Good for them.
Yes, and we are.
We are doing, of course, the mandatory, let's try to.
make the Royal Guard react and wouldn't you know it the way he finally reacts is
because Odie just takes a huge piss on his foot sure that's kind of funny now is there
anything the trivia was this actually hot dog piss coming up or was this like movie
magic was this actual yeah maybe there's they probably do you think they train dogs to
piss on people yeah like how to get that dog to piss on that guy I love movie I'm shadowing you
I want to know how they got the dog piss out you know I read a book about D-D
W. Griffith, and he said, just give a dog a lot of water and point.
And, you know, I just think about that all the time.
Can you imagine that you're the special effects person who it's like,
we can't get the dog to piss on command,
so you need to strap a little tiny tube to it, like the back of it to do the pissing effect?
This is why Christy Noem killed her dog.
It wouldn't piss on commands.
On the pad, on the pad, I said.
But somewhere throughout the course of their London lollygagging here,
Mr. Pitt is going into town
to pick up some suits for Billy Connolly
at the Taylor, and wouldn't you know it,
he sees Garfield, they almost run him over
right in the middle of the street. He's like,
oh, Prince, what are you doing here? Let's go
back to the castle, and that's how
that happens. And it's this
weird, like, tradeoff right in the same scene
because Prince, who's been in
the river, there is a sign that's like 40 miles
to London. He's in the sewer.
He comes up and sees
Odie. He's covered in piss and shit.
Andy Dufrained his way into
He looked
so much shit on this guy. He looked
like all the kids in the audience.
Garfield, the cat.
Crawled through
50 miles of shit and
piss and God knows what, to
freedom. They came out of free cat.
Now he's living on a beach, fixing up a boat.
San Juanitao.
San Juanta Cato.
I'd like to say
that the sisters didn't get to Garfield that
day. I really would.
Oh my God
But a kennel is in a nice place
There you're going to get Morgan Freeman
As some other cat
Now we got a movie
Prison movie would be better
Just do the kennel
It's the kennel story
Also 06
Like we were still
Loving that March of the Penguins movie
That was when I guess
You know we were like
Oh yeah he does voiceover really well
Yeah
So you could have done it again right here
That would have been something
If you had stock in Morgan Freeman
You should have sold it right at that point.
That's the highest it ever went.
Yep.
Did you want to ever see the Forst of the Penguins?
No.
Oh, the Saget thing?
Yeah.
I think I saw clips of it.
I never watched it.
It was a room full of high dudes in 2007 or whatever it was.
That's the time to watch Fars of the Penguins.
We turned it off.
It never happened before.
It was just like, you know, just like, this sucks.
You don't really turn it off.
Did you change over to Meet the Spartans?
Probably.
Meet the Spartans.
Epic movie?
We're going to get Epic movie in here.
yeah oh man superhero movie that was another one all written by the guy who went went on to do
trinople right and became the uh wGA president oh is that Craig mazen oh really
Craig Mason wrote those movies go through his filmography it is oh weird scary everybody's got
to eat dude through very scary but so now the the cats have been officially switched Garfield
makes it up to Carlisle Manor um and I think also sort of at this point he thinks that John doesn't
love like there's a moment where something something like oh man nobody even cares about me
no one would even miss is that happening sort of here i don't know i don't recall it in the movie
it's the liz thing yes he's going to leave me for liz and blah blah blah yeah he's going to leave me
for liz and blah blah blah so now when he gets to carloor manor he's like oh this is living he is living
and all the barnyard animals are like why does our prince all of a sudden like talk and act like
a 1960s vagus showman that's sort of weird you've got this is a left
line from
we had an initial
casting thing and now
we don't have it anymore but we didn't
change the line where Richard E.
Grant as the
parrot says he's they're
like oh that's maybe that's not
Prince the Cat and Richard E. Grant says he's not
even the cat formerly known as Prince
which is definitely a leftover joke
because Prince the
artist was supposed to voice Prince
the cat. I just don't understand how that
would even have happened. I don't know but apparently
this was speaking of fucking food fight
and having to redo stuff or whatever
apparently like Prince recorded a bunch of dialogue
and it didn't work or whatever
and they were like no now it's got to be Tim Curry
but because the performance was so different
they had to reanimate a lot of the Prince stuff
interesting that's crazy
by the way I need to apologize to Craig Mason
this is his filmography that made me think that
he wrote Rocket Man the Harlan Williams movie
oh senseless scary movie three
scary movie four there it is
superhero movie
That's the one that stuck in my crowd
Former episode senseless
Hangover Part 2
Identity Thief
Hangover part 3
Huntsman
The Huntsman Winters War
Then Chernobyl
I feel like I'm going through Chernobyl
But yes
So like he's
But he doesn't know what the deal is
But like Bob Hoskins
realizes
I think he overhears
Billy Connolly's speech to Lucy Davis
It's like oh they're going to kill us all
So we have to like
prop up this
fake dictator.
Right, because this way, if
he still is the rightful heir
to Carlyle Castle, then
we're all gravy, and no one's being
euthanized in Christy Noem's backyard.
I also think the stakes are a little high for these
animals. I would just be like, they're going
to make us leave our home. Thank you.
That's cute. You know what I mean?
It's not like chicken run where it's all chicken, so
then you know it's death.
You know what the deal is with those chickens are changed.
I'm going to go to the shit. I'm going to kill
a bull of fucking parrot and anything
I see.
Dude, yeah, that's the craziest part, right?
There's like a bull on the property.
It's, I don't think you're getting away with that, dude.
No, I'm going to donate him to Spain.
Get some, I want a couple of bodies on this bowl, at least.
Get him running through Spain, kill a few people.
Stabbed with a sword for that fucking barbaric entertainment.
Would it be great him getting in the ass by a bull in this movie?
I know that's too expensive to show.
Yeah, a real, like, boing, he gets poked with the horns.
He's flying in the sky.
You got hit so hard on the movie.
the fanny stars are coming up
but he's Garfield
is now in the manner and he's still like
showing Lucy Davis around he's going to go
oh this will be that that'll be this
I'm going to grab your arse and he's like
but what? He's a
oh it's Prince's back
and he has to see a ghost cat
so this is when he enlists
Rommel to get
Prince slash Garfield
and this is what he's like
how does it is it's it's pants he's using
right or something or yeah he's like
oh yeah like
sniff these trousers, you see.
And that's what you're going to go
chow down on instead of Garfield.
And Rommel gets the scent.
I guess Bill Connolly ain't washing them pants too good.
And...
Oil, you love trousers.
Fucking bites this dude in the dick.
Yeah. It's 2006, of course,
Vinnie Jones is voicing Rommel. That was
the law at the time. Wasn't 06
also the same year as I'm the joggernaut bitch? Was last stand
06? I think it is.
Or 07, maybe.
It's around that time, though.
Yes, but it was legally
Vinnie Jones had to be in the three to five movies a year.
Man, speaking of sell your stock,
holy goddamn.
2006 was the time to sell your Vinny Jones.
He's got to have secret movies, right?
He's got secret movies, well, he's got secret TV shows.
He's doing the TV show of Guy Ritchie's The Gentleman.
Oh, really?
That's what he's going to do.
The TV show that people are trying to tell me to watch,
and I'm telling them, go fuck yourself.
Called The Gentleman.
I think the gentleman is the last,
the most recent movie that I've just flat out
turned off. We watched like 20
minutes of it and I was like, I kind of
don't even understand what's happening in this movie
and we totally turned it off. Yeah.
Somewhere around here, it's
got nothing to do with what we're talking about right now,
but it's just a quick cutaway thing and I wanted
to mention it because it is indeed the saddest,
the most pathetic part of this movie,
John Arbuckle, talking with what he
believes to be Garfield, it's Prince the Cap
but he's like, you know Garfield,
I'd really like it if you were
in my wedding. Oh, man.
Oh, it sucks.
It's really bad.
This motherfucker's got no friends at all.
Look, you know what?
If you're that close your cat and you've trained it to like bring the fucking ring down, whatever.
No.
If that cat is your best man.
Yeah, that's right.
You've got to find a bridge and you've got to find a way off this.
Oh, they're walking.
No, no, no.
It's got to be a tuxedo cat for that.
Oh, that's true.
Yeah, save on the wardrobe.
Exactly.
That makes sense.
You need, you really, yeah, ring bearer is the high.
office a cat can hold
that is it in a wedding
yeah it should not be
given a massive fortune
you know through bequeathment
it should not be elected to be the mayor
of the town
farthest it can go as far as human operations
is walking a ring box down the aisle
John stop it just get one of the girls
do no no no come on buddy
throw the pedals throw the pedals
throw the petals on the little thing
my niece is crying she wanted to be the flower
no my cat has to be a flower
And it's wandering off, it's wandering off, it's hurting back a little bit.
It's batting at the curtains.
No, he doesn't like that either.
Well, this wedding's ruined.
Oh, it's fire.
That's fire.
Okay, things are on fire now.
Good.
That's a sign of good luck at a wedding.
Somewhere around here, too, we can't miss it.
Winston is showing Garfield the ropes in the manner.
And it's like, oh, yeah, get into the fucking dumbwaiter, whatever the situation is.
and Garfield farts in this dog's face.
And Bob Haskins has to be like,
oh, magnificent farts, sir.
Oh, fantastic.
Good tone, sir.
Yes.
A smooth fart.
Smooth finish.
There's that Chernobyl feeling right there.
Oh, man.
Yeah, he's going into a toy mansion.
Oh, that's what it is.
It's a cat house inside the cat's house.
And his fat ass can't get through the door.
And when he squeezes through,
he farts in this dog's face.
Real smooth, sire.
A fantastic.
Smooth finish.
Ian Amber Crobby goes up to Billy Collins.
Oh, I found Prince in the city.
Can you believe it?
And he's like, oh, that's great.
You know what?
You need a vacation.
You need to get out in the movie for a while.
And he does kind of, he forces him on vacation.
So he's kind of out.
Yeah, get Mr. Pitt out of the movie.
Meanwhile, John and Liz, we have this quick scene.
They wind up at a pub.
Now this is, you're fucking playing with fire.
You have ordered air quotes because this is a podcast.
Yeah.
at a London pub
You're just asking to shit on the bus
Yeah
In England that's called slop noodle
That's not called lasagna
Let me go and play your slop noodle here
Is your slop noodle love?
Slop-noy-slop-noyer do you want that with never fuck
Do you want kidney shit?
Well I better put peas in there
Because it's England
Let me just put some peas in there
Everybody loves peas and carrots
And there's spaghetti sauce
Nothing better than a Sunday noodle slop
Oh my God
And also like all right
So imagine, A, being in America, I would be very, like, sometimes, you know, this happens, you travel abroad, have to go to a place, you're not exactly tourist friendly and, like, you know, just, ugh.
But you write it out.
You're a cool person.
But bringing your cat to a cat and dog to a pub.
Sure.
You're an American yank.
There's a football game on.
And then they're like, I want fucking lasagna for my cat.
And they have to be like, what for your what?
exactly very weird situation they're beating the shit out of you oh absolutely that gets dead are you
are you speaking italian to me sir because if so you're getting jazzy jeffed out of this bar and meanwhile
obviously prince uh tim currie's like well i don't what is lasagna i hate it oh this is the best
i've ever had yeah he learns to love it immediately and boy oh boy we just couldn't resist
ourselves we have a please sir i have another some more
I've got to be honest
You can
Lazzania would kill a cat
It's full of garlic
Garlic would murder
Can murder a cat
Like they're vampires
Yes they're like vampires
Any anything from the Lily family
Eric is it no go for cats
onions
Yeah
All right
But not fans
They're not fans
And then on the other side of this
Well wouldn't you know it
Garfield not thrilled with the Carlisle Lod
He says
Oh don't you have any lasagna around here
And they all go
Leszonia
What's that?
We can only make that when the black old bees are playing.
Dude,
and we just have this cooking montage where we're dancing around and making shitty
lasagna.
It is just...
Oh, my God.
And, like, they're all bad, but there is something specifically just, like, unsettling
about the fact that it's the song that samples the Pulp Fiction thing that I'm just like,
was that like a, ah, we're being a little, you know, cinematic, we're just homagey here.
Fuck you.
the Dick Dale
sounding guitar
Rift, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oof, it's bad.
And, like, yeah, all these animals.
Hey, like, I understand, like,
the animals, whatever.
This lady was insane.
She let them do what they want.
Right.
No one is like,
what the fuck is going on in this kitchen?
Where is the staff through all of this?
Because these animals are making a loud racket
in this kitchen.
They're running a muck.
And they, yeah, they just do it.
They just make this as a luny.
And then everybody's, like,
over the moon.
It's like, oh, this is all the animals love it.
It's disgusting watching all these things.
You're feeding a bull, a bulldog, a fucking parrot.
A couple of goats.
A couple of goats, lasagna, the diarrhea all over this mansion.
There's a pig, my God, the pig.
That should be a fun twist.
And Billy kind of is like, oh, we have to tear it down.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, it's covered in shit everywhere.
Once the fucking elevator opens in a wave of liquid shit starts pouring out of it.
Yeah.
Also, big, big like.
thinking about the shit coming out.
Big, um, like Garfield, like,
this is a thing Garfield
wouldn't do, right? Like, Garfield, what do we
know about it? He's lazy as fuck.
Yes. He forces John Arbuckle
to wait on him hand and foot.
There's no way that this cat
would know the lasagna recipe. No.
There's no way he would actually know, like this is, you know,
you get the ricotta and all that, would
know it. He's making his own noodles. My God.
I know. No, this is, this is not the
Garfield I grew up with. He doesn't do things
for himself. Oh, you quote, you quote,
This is a classic slot doodoo.
Oh, we love this stuff.
We love it.
Oh, great.
Slop doodles, put some beans in there, some baked beans.
Every meal needs a little baked beans in there.
An entire side of brisket.
Put it on top.
So somewhere around here, Garfield overhears Bob Hoskins and Richard E. Grant
talking about how, like, yeah, we know he's a big fucking King Ralph-esque American idiot,
but we have to go through with this.
And, like, Garfield's little cat feelings.
get all hurt, and he's like, oh, I'll chew a
thing or two. So he starts to leave, but also
meanwhile, Tim Curry kind of forgets about his
place. Because he's loving
being lazy in the hotel with Odie
and everything, too. And eat lasagna, but then
something, is it a newspaper article,
or there's a TV ad
about Carlisle, he's like, oh,
right, I have to go back. Yeah, yeah,
he's sort of like, oh, he snaps out of it.
Sort of a situation. So Garfield's leaving while Tim Curry is on his way
back to Carlisle Man.
Meanwhile, Liz gets to the castle because she's taking this tour for, like, she has to separate her to breasts.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Something for the lone man.
It's a titacular tour of this castle.
She says to John, like, it's a weird, and I think this hints to she wanted to be there alone.
Because she's like, oh, I'm going to a tour of the Carlisle Castle where the events happening in the next few days or whatever.
And he's like, oh, that sounds fun.
And she goes, oh, it's actually for people speaking at the conference only.
Yeah.
That's a fucking lie.
It has to be a lie.
Absolutely.
Like, I got to get this loser and his fucking dog and cat away from me.
I wanted to have some time in England by myself.
I was going to read Pride and Prejudice in a coffee shop.
It was going to be fucking great.
I was going to flick the bean in my hotel.
My God.
Now this fucking mouth-breathing boyfriend that I have,
because he's the best opportunity I have in my shitty town has stalked me to England.
I'm looking at this invitation.
here. It says plus zero.
Nobody
I can bring. So Roger
Reese and the team of lawyers show up at
Carlisle Castle and, you know, Billy Connolly's
shit in his pants here. Meanwhile,
John is also on his way there because
Odie shows him a newspaper
of, oh, Prince's gone
missing and he's like, oh, that can, oh, do you
think they switch? Maybe we should go to the castle and figure it out.
Cut to John, humiliating
himself, driving one of these smart cars.
I'm sorry. I'm all four electric
vehicles. These are just the most embarrassing
looking cars. He's tiny little guys. The little clown
cars. They're terrible. Terrible
looking car. And he looks like a jerk
driving it. It's
okay to have little cars. I know people out
there have little cars. Garfield
himself is locked in like, I guess
this castle still has a functioning dungeon
with a cat door in it, which
is very strange. Billy Connolly
grabs, he's like, well, you'll stay out
of sight for the whole meeting.
So he puts him in a dungeon.
Where Garfield somehow
is acknowledging
he has lost
seven of his nine cat lives
it's kind of a funny little moment where he's like
oh he ain't that rotten whatever
and he's like doing like little hash marks
on the wall how many lives he's lost
I should have two left
well he tried to kill himself in prison in the last
oh that's right right
you said guard shoelaces please
that was a line in that movie
so I think one life is in this cell
you don't wear those shoes
all you do wear that cat
so Garfield
is busted out because there is a secret pet exit from his jails.
Here's Bob Hoskins, like, I'm coming for you, sire, let's go.
And he's like, you don't even want me.
He's like, well, we'd like you enough, I guess.
You're sort of like King Ralph, my favorite movie.
But Garfield is on his way out now, and then he runs into Tim Curry.
And boy, oh boy, we could not help ourselves to do the duck soup joke.
We just had to fucking do this.
Yes, we did.
Surprise twins.
you got to do it. It's not an option. At least
it's something. I agree.
It is something in a sea of nothing.
Yeah, it definitely was two minutes of
runtime.
That got us from 69 minutes of 71, Chris.
How does it end?
Prince just like falls over or something.
Yeah, he's like, you, I knew it was you or whatever.
And so they just, you know, they'd
figure out like, all right, this is what we got to do
to get the manner back or whatever. Tim Curry
does pull a, I have just returned
to you in our darkest hour.
Kind of lying, you know.
But then he gives an uninspiring speech.
And then everyone's like, oh, he's like, well, I guess we'll just have to pack up and leave, I guess is what he says.
And then, like, girlfriend's like, no way, we're going to kick royal butt.
You got to kick royal butt.
Dude, you absolutely have to kick royal butt for the end of this.
It's like, what do you, he's just another bully.
And what do you do from bullies?
Run from them!
Yes.
I do like the old lady in the team of lawyers, like, because Connolly's going around, you know, being wacky.
at this point and she goes
he's a bit of a tool
don't you think it's kind of a lot of line
oh my god the scene
where Garfield is trying to
distract Rommel or whatever by calling
him girly and sissy
oh yeah repeatedly that stood out in my mind
that's kind of a weird insult
well I think he's doing
if you listen he's doing a really
really really phoned in
Arnold impression really
no way is that true hey girly man
he's just your boy
oh you got to Arnold defy that a little more
Because if not, yes, you're right, it does.
Otherwise, it just sounds weird.
It does.
I mean, that's just the old S&L bad joke.
Well, we had a better take, but Arnold did send a cease and desist.
Look, you know, we can't say no to the big man.
Yeah, you have to De Arnold defy your impression, Bill Murray.
I said no to it the first time.
So Garfield's a distraction there, so Prince and the other barnyard animals can get inside the house.
And we're like, we're driving Billy Connolly insane by showing up in the background
of every seen.
there's Prince, there's Prince, there's Prince
Yeah, he's going nuts. I do love
at one point he's chasing something around
this house. Billy Colley takes a real
hard fall down those stairs.
Ooh, it's good. Any time I can see an old person
fall down stairs. I love it.
I will take it. Because you
might have just witnessed the last time they're going to
ever stand up. That's true. You might have just done it.
Yeah. And like the last 15
minutes of this movie is just Billy Connolly
getting his ass kicked by animals. Well, he's like
he loses his mind at a certain point and he picks
up a crossboat. He's like, I don't care.
or whatever
if Prince is alive
sign over the thing to me
Roger Reese
Oh right yeah
Because that's really gonna get them
To be okay with this money
And then Lucy Davis shows up
I was in the movie
Yeah you're just now one of the hostages
It's fine don't worry about it
It's like it's one of those things
Where it's like oh they're crazy
Because like of course like yeah sure
Go ahead do this
A police
And it's this person
There's also a throwing away line there
That like she was in on it with these people
Oh yeah she's like spying
She's spying on him
Hey, whatever movie, whatever the fuck ever, dude.
Where's the movie?
You just told me what happened in the movie, but where's the movie?
Dude, where's my movie?
That's the Lucy Davis cutscenes.
I guarantee you, it was her meeting with Roger Reese.
Right, yeah.
Roger Reese, by the way, nails a two cats.
Absolutely, pretty great.
It's my man.
Knocks that out of the park.
It's just, it's the lamest line of the world, but he fucking sells it.
And somebody does a, are we to believe,
that Prince has an exact doppelganger
or something like that.
And by the way, at some point around here,
the smart car is pulled up,
so John Arbuckle's back in the movie.
And John Arbuckle doesn't know
what the word doppelganger means
and things that's like an insult or something.
Ian Abercrombie says it
and he's like, no, they just look alike.
Doppel Ganger.
Where's Odie?
Where's Odie?
Where's Odie?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I should put it into an Americanese.
Dupple pussy.
She's dead wrapped in lasagna.
I'm sorry, what was it?
Sloppy noodle.
Oh, sloppy noodle.
That's what he was talking about.
Dad wrapped it sloppy noodle down by the crick.
Give me a white and wonder.
You give me that Angelo score over this, that scene of Prince eating the sloppy
noodle.
Ooh.
Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
Give me like the ominous turn.
Yeah, yeah.
Somewhere around here, Billy Connolly has a gun.
to Liz's head. It's like a big
old-timey gun that looks like the
hearing end of an old-timey phone.
There we go. Steve knows real words.
That's the guns they have over there, right?
Even right now. If they don't, yeah,
they're not allowed to have guns, right?
I believe they do not carry them on
their persons when they patrol the streets, yeah.
But people too, right? Like citizens.
Senator, I do not know. I would wager their gun laws are better
than ours. Definitely. Oh, you mean
worse than ours? I'm kidding.
But yeah, so he's got this fucking
huge pirate gun to this girl's
head and
this is where the dog
fucking bites him in the dick
again because it's been two minutes
Oh, Rommel does, right?
Rommel does. It's been two minutes
since the last time his genitals were
punctured by a dog's mouth
which reminded me. Do ever tell you
guys when I saw a dude straight of
get bitten the dick by a dog?
No, I think you might have, but I would like to hear it.
It's amazing. I was walking in
my neighborhood to go get my car
out of the garage and there's this dude
and I'd seen him before with this dog
and the dog's always fucking off the leash
and whatever and I turn the corner to go
to the garage and there's the dude and he's kind of like
trying to get the dog to do so,
come on over here or whatever and it's like you know how
this would be helped is if you had this dog
on something that you could
pull and direct the dog where to go
so that's not going on and he's
come on we got to go come on come on come on and he tries
to like grab
the dog and you know
get him over you know out of the sidewalk
whatever he was trying to do sure and this dog
was not having it that day, my friends,
and just bit this dude
right in the penis.
Hell, yeah.
And this guy, like, I just, I saw it all go down.
My nerds!
He straight up was like, nah!
And he fell down on his knees.
And the dog was just sitting there, like, told you.
It was the funniest, funniest moment.
Did you laugh at him in the street?
I waited, because he was a big dude,
which was all, it made it funnier.
Oh, my big dude dick!
But I waited until I was, like, 50 feet away
to be like,
yeah the harder they fall and it was just it was one of those things where like no one else was
around because i wanted to be like you should have gone and helped him done like you should have
done mouth to mouth on his dick yeah you should have sucked this cock to make sure he's all right
are you okay are you okay i'm gonna need you to suck the venom out my dogs are poisonous dog
sir i've never said this before but your ball sack's going to need 15 stitches
dude that is like a nightmare scenario but it's one of those things too where you want someone
around so you could be like get a load of that
and there was just no but I was just
alone in the universe watching a dude
getting his dog the danger the danger
of pets you got you invite a bunch of sharp teeth into your house
and then any minute you can just have your ball
blood all over it can happen to you any second
any day look out you look at your dog or cat's eyes
he's thinking about biting your dick off
that's right or whatever you have
yes indeed uh so yeah whatever
wouldn't you know it the day is eventually
save. John Argolewold punches him in the face.
Yes. So he's out for the
count. We get the proposal right here.
And he needed to be like brought down a peg
for that punch to be really
something. Like he'd be shown his week
earlier. Maybe Liz is like,
Jesus fucking Christ with this guy.
I think he shows his worth in this scene.
You're totally right because she's like, wow, that's the most
romantic thing I've ever seen.
Why? It needs to be a moment where like
they're at the pub and he's like, I little shrimp
move over. You don't know what I mean? Like, that
kind of a thing. And you could have had it
in that scene where they're at a pub feeding a cat lasagna.
What are you fucking crazy?
Slop doos with a cat?
I'm an animal lover, sir, and I'm going to have to take this cat from you.
He's disgusting.
And maybe she says something about, like, I can only imagine, you know, marrying someone
who's going to stand up for us or whatever.
But yeah, so he's out for the count.
Take him away, whatever.
Big of away toys.
Big of away toys, indeed.
And then it's just animal party time.
It's fucking music needle drop time.
It's been 71 minutes.
get these babies bopping at the aisles
baby. Dude, and you got Tim Curry
the poor bastard just has to go
bust a move, man.
You're just like, oh,
well, you know Bill Murray
was like, I had to do it, man.
Yeah, that's true. I'm doing it, Tim's doing it.
Now Carlisle Castle
is like an animal
castle slash sanctuary
is the idea. It smells just like
it too. And they're all like in the pool.
That's going to be great for the fucking filter
in that goddamn thing. Jesus.
and they just go
When the going gets tough
The Great Ones Party
Like it's a fucking Rodney Dangerfield movie
Nice I wish
And that's that's the end of it
And then 10 minutes of credits
With a photo slideshow
An extended credit sequence
Wausa
A month after this
This is going to be like
Abandoned Wayne Manor
It's just going to be overrun
The fucking pool's going to be green
You're going to rebuild it dog by dog
Cat by cat
Yeah and I
I clocked it
end credits hit at 72 minutes
incredible. It's really
wild. And then
it just like finally when those
pictures go away it's sort of irises out
on Garfield. Like someone
made this for like their high school media
projectors it's such amateur
hour shit this movie.
But that is the end of Garfield
The Tale of Two Kitties will go around the horn
here for some final thoughts. Mr. Cisker.
It's rough stuff folks but you know
it's totally okay. If this is your
favorite film I know like
A lot of people love movies, you know?
Yeah, for sure.
The title of our show is off-putting to people.
I want people to know that we all love movies here.
And even though this movie was bad,
I'm thankful for being alive to have him watched a movie.
I saw a movie.
So you love this movie.
No, no.
Christopher Cabin.
Oh, no, it's a piece of shit.
And if you're the one person out there who loves this movie,
stop right now.
I will send a cease and desist.
It's okay.
I mean, it is, it's just a waste of time.
Like, if you want to put this on in the background,
where your kids just shitting around.
Sure, I understand that.
Right.
But, like, if you pay attention to this for any fucking amount of time,
you're going to be immediately turned off
and immediately just, like, want to do anything else.
Yeah.
I have nothing but bad things to say about that.
So, there we go.
Stephen.
Well, I'm Garfield, and I'm going to review my own movie now.
No, I'm not.
That would be insane.
Three stars.
No, it's better than the first one, but it's still awful.
It's embarrassing.
Again, like, I just, it does just sort of leave anything, like, there's so many real narrative
threads to make this an actual sort of kids movie that would have some, just, not even
teeth, but like, stinging power.
Like, I barely remember this movie all right.
Right, exactly.
It's nothing.
It's air.
Hold your attention.
It is the most titacular children's film I've seen in a bit.
But no, it's, it's a fucking rancid litter box of a movie, man.
It totally, it's just not a thing.
It feels like there's so many underbaked ideas or shit that they just ran out of money and didn't film or just like non ideas for things.
It's all bad.
Connolly is fine.
He is in it.
He's entertaining.
Ian Abercrombie is pretty fun too, I guess.
But boy, it's just a whole lot of nothing and I did not care for it.
And I guess I'm alone in this.
I think the first one is better.
There you go.
That is just me.
But that is going to do it for this episode on Garfield, The Tale of Two Kitties.
If you want more We Hate Movies, of course, check us out on Patreon.
Patreon.com slash we hate movies.
We got a brand new We Love Movies all about Mad Max to the Road Warrior, which is a fun one.
Yeah, some more fun accents than that episode.
Absolutely.
We are going back to the Planet of the Apes for animation damnation this month.
Literally, the show was called Return to the Planet of the Apes.
Hear us talk about real schlocky, speaking of cheap, 1970s, animated.
there for sure. Who are we doing
on the Gleeve Glossary? We are doing Callista
who is a
let's just say it's a really fun
story and I want people to experience
it through us if you don't know Callista. Don't
look it up on Wikipedia. I'm not going to look.
Tune into our Star Warside show
and listen to us explain
the lore of Callista.
Yeah, wait. Not Flokart.
Not Flokart.
And Steve, we've got some scuzzy
teachers on Melro 210 this month.
Oh, that Gilmire's narrowly escaped
the noose.
Just this guy, man.
I don't like the looks of this guy.
I don't like anything about him.
And then also we've got some Melrose
placidding going on there.
We're in, getting a little gross for
Allison and other things. Yep.
Getting gross for Allison, getting really uncomfortable
for Jane because her ex-husband's being forced
to invest in her fashion
studio. Also, might be
becoming a terrible pimp at some
point soon. Yes. I guess with a pimp
though. That's cool. And a
searching weird.
We are closing out
the first ever
too old for this shit
on X-Men 97,
which is my favorite thing
that's ever happened, I think.
I think it might be my favorite
new show of the year,
honestly.
I don't know what would top it
at the moment.
See, there you go.
Like, if you're tired of our negativity,
there's plenty to be offered
on that Patreon that we actually
do care about.
X-Men 97, we've been loving.
I watched all the ape cartoons.
He loves the ape.
This guy loves the ape cartoon.
loser shit. It's great. Yeah. The Nexus is our Star Trek recap show. We really enjoy Star Trek. We're talking TOS and TNG. Come to the end of TOS. Coming down the road. This is the penultimate episode of TOS. We're handling here. That's right. Ending with a whimper on that shit. But we got some good TNG with Riker. Fuck it around. Hell yeah. Yeah. Really good Riker-centric episode. So yeah, all that. Patreon.com slash we hate movies. All that and more I should say, of course. Now here on We Hate Movies, which you can also get on Patreon, ad free.
by the way, if you were hearing commercials today
and didn't want to be fast forward
and boy, do we have a fix for you.
But, show rolls on
next week, Steve Sadek, what
motion picture will we be discussing?
You know, we dedicated April
this month, this year to Charlie Sheen,
but we could have done
April, which we did last
year. As a remnant,
we are going beneath the planet
of the apes. That's right.
I can't wait. I love this movie.
We'll see what happens. It's a great one. It's a grim-ass
movie. It's the sequel to the 68, the first
sequel. I enjoy
it, and it's going to be fun as hell to talk about.
Never saw it. Oh, really? Oh. I haven't seen either.
Oh, really? Oh, okay. It's a couple
first time. You're going to get, you guys are going to get
ape pills. I have
the Blu-ray collection. You've got to go through them
all. I love all those movies,
pretty much. They're really great, and they're
grim as fuck, and it's awesome.
So next week, when we get grim as fuck
talking about beneath the planet of the apes. Until
then, I've been Andrew Juppin.
Stephen Zed. Eric Siska.
Chris Cabin. Take it easy.
Thank you.
Thank you.
