This week on the program, it's a movie that had me wishing for a better cast.
It's Wish Upon.
I'm Andrew Jupin.
Saxophone, Steve Sadek.
Eric Siska.
Chris Gavin.
And we hate movies.
Hello, everyone, welcome to We Hate Movies.
Thank you for tuning in, as always.
That's right.
Holy smokes.
I can't believe it's already over.
Listen at request month is at the final.
Oh, it's over?
We don't have to do with this.
No, no, after, after, after that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that.
No, one more.
Okay.
Got to do one more.
Wait, what the fuck?
Andrew, where's it?
Why is this jazz quartet here?
What the fuck is going on?
here. I don't care if you play
piano. I'm trying to do something here. Chris,
your dad is hot.
Oh, my God. Your dad is hot.
We are dumpster diving
today. That's what this movie is. God damn.
This is Wishapon from 2017
directed by John R. Leonetian.
We ran
into this dude several years back because his
feature debut, this guy's a working cinematographer,
but his feature directorial debut,
you guessed it, one of the worst of
all time, Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
Yeah, that's a tough one.
Terrible. Yeah, he
went on to do
Butterfly Effect 2
which I didn't know
existed.
Annabel, how is that, Steve?
I've never seen it.
Really?
You like the creepy little ghost baby movies?
I do, but I don't fuck with dolls
if I can avoid it.
I saw the prequel one on a plane
and it's like her,
it's like a doll in some like Mexican orphanage
or some shit.
That's one of them.
Yeah, one of them is okay
and the rest of them are garbage.
I'm gonna assume this is one of the garbage.
I was super fucked up on that flight
and kind of don't really remember.
Something about a well maybe was involved?
Yeah, that might be creation.
He also did a movie called Wolves at the Door, The Silence, and then Lullaby in 2022, which has got a great poster of a creepy old lady grabbing at a baby.
Oh, that's what you want.
Is it the Sean, is it Sean, what's?
Cunningham?
Yeah.
She washes her hair at night.
What?
Lullaby.
Oh, that is no.
I was saying Sean Cunningham, the director of Friday the 13th.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Sean, oh, man.
Rock her by.
Yeah, I know what you talk.
Fuck.
Wow, that was...
She goes on.
It's like kind of a bullshit Tom Waits thing for like five minutes.
Yeah, oh, Sean Mullen.
Sean Mullen.
She eats Denny's in the parking lot.
Oh, Jesus.
She asks for extra mayonnaise.
She smears it on her face.
She grabs some weird Chinese wishboxes.
Her dad's dumpster diving.
She 3D printed a Chinese box.
This one was requested by a listener here this one.
was April from Toronto.
Let's see what April had to say about John R. Leonetti's Wish Upon.
This is April from Toronto, Canada, and I would like to request Wish Upon from 2017.
It's a batshit crazy horror movie starring Joey King and Ryan Philippe.
I think you'll enjoy it.
Love the show. Bye.
Starring.
Doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Thank you, April.
Yes, thank you, April very much for this movie.
Opportunity.
I gotta say this has been, this was in my deck for, say, XLX.
Yes, for worst of the year of 2017, I don't have brought it up, got voted down probably.
Oh yeah, we vote everything down here.
And I'm thrilled to see it back.
I was going to wait until 2027, but here I am, two years early.
Here we are.
I was actually, I was apropos April's pronunciation of Ryan's name here.
Apparently his daughters put out an Instagram video.
where they were like, here's how you say our name.
Oh, God.
Philippi.
It's the E.
I've been saying A, like April.
Oh, no, no, it's Philippi.
I've always said Philippe.
I've been saying Philip who?
I've been calling him Crandall.
Speaking of Crandall, what's that, what's that sound, Andrew?
I don't.
Oh, fuck.
No.
Yes.
Yes, indeed.
We are back for the VHS trailer game, and I am your game king.
Hell yeah.
Chris Cabin here to tell you.
Any relation to Joey King, Game King?
You know, it's a distant, it's a second cousin situation.
I'll tell you this, I'll bet my fucking balls the Game King better actor.
Oh, come on.
I don't know.
She was good in that Gypsy Rose Blanchard shit with Patty Arquette, but I got to tell you, man, not here.
I didn't even see that one.
I've always generally been like, I only know her from Slender Man.
Oh, yes, yeah, Slender Man.
And the Conjuring apparently.
So all I know her is like a little high school scrunched face like, man.
that's all I know her at
I will say Joey King is not starring in any of the films
that they were going to be talking about here
she was switching around to the balls at that point
she was still in the ball
okay because there's no VHS release of Wish upon
this is from something else so this has been
I went and I looked through all the trailers
for all these movies that we've been doing on the Snor Quest Month
and I got the ones that were doable
I'll say there are a couple there that
nobody has seen and like if I were just be like
This stars Greg Belomima.
I'm well acquainted to Greg Belomabon.
Can I wager a bulk of those who are on the link VHS tape?
Yes, a lot of them were on the link VHS tape.
There were other ones that were much better.
But we're going to do this now.
Just to get the standings right now,
Stephen is the head of the pack at 28.
He is the leader of the pack.
Right behind him with 24.
And Andrew is not far behind him.
at 19.
So it's a very close game right now.
Anyone's game.
It really is at this point.
Anyone's Jane.
Well, yes.
The return of the Sith.
All right.
So we're going to start with this first one here.
I think a lot of these were from the,
what was the last one we did?
Lo-down dirty shame.
Yeah, I think a lot of them were from that one.
That was a real movie.
Yeah, that was released and people remember it, I guess.
Somewhere Elizabeth Schu just went, hey.
Come on.
Why are he saying that?
Come on.
Anyway, let's go.
Number one.
This action comedy with a crazy cast
stars the most beloved Nepo Baby
of the 80s and 90s
as an ex-con on the run
with an unexpected girl,
not unlike Andrew.
The Chase.
Correct.
Oh, of course.
Yes.
Where he's helping Dalton Voss's daughter.
Which is Christy Swanson?
Indeed, yes.
That is a Satan.
It is quite a lot.
I just rewatched it.
We did like a VHS New Year's thing for no good reason.
Well, dude, you're buying those tapes.
You've got to do something with those.
No, seriously.
They're piling up.
So I was like, hey, let's do a couple.
And we got through the chase on New Year's Eve.
And it's really stupid.
More than Domino's Pizza.
More than one member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers is in that.
Yes, but him and Flea are back.
They're both like the gag is they're driving in a car the whole movie.
And Henry.
And Henry Rollins is a cop.
And they're doing cops.
Like, we're really saying.
Wow.
Ron Jeremy also
Can we just do that movie instead of this one?
Wait, the hedgehog's in it?
Oh, we got to do it now.
Got to talk about that scumbag.
Is he arrested? Is he in jail now?
It was that weird.
He's rotting somewhere.
He's been in jail and he was like super sick with COVID
and he had to go into some court
and he just looked like he was like,
remember those mucinex guys?
Oh, yeah.
Ron Jeremy looks like a mucinex guy.
Got it.
He's going to be hanging out with Matthew McConaughey,
the beach bum.
like that seems like the world that he will be living in people elsewhere in the world
mucinex guys are like green blobs they are supposed to be little blobs they look like
boogers they dress like they lived through the great depression they all talk like hey how's it
going right me right you know i'm snot um i live in a tent of it for some reason because it's
legal in the united states that fucking entertaining little cartoon sell you medicine absolutely
that's that's that's international that's that's a beloved thing all around the world
Sell me dry.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
In Mexico, there were, like, little guys been like,
hi, would you like to die this drug?
Well, okay.
I'm glad they're getting in them with a fun.
All right, so number two.
All right.
This Bruce Willis led bomb was the last narrative feature
made by the late director, Richard Rush,
and would eventually be available in four different cuts.
Stephen?
Last man standing?
Nope.
Hudson Hawk?
No.
Wow.
Two down.
Damn, I should have.
Oh, Richard Rush, man.
That's a fucking filmography I can't think of.
You said four cots and Bruce Willis.
Let's go to the next one.
Okay, number two.
An erotic psychological thriller, this film co-stared newcomer Jane March
and was awarded Best Sex Scene in Film History by Maxim Magazine.
Rush kept the physical award in his bathroom until the day he died.
bathroom, huh? It's a nice
adornment. Shit, man. It's a coin
flip for me now. I mean, I don't think I would be able to
answer this one. It gets
requested all the time. Is that
right? Oh, my God, this fucking movie.
Oh, man. We'll have to do this one, too. We will
eventually be doing this. Also, I think
Maxim needed to state, like, best
non-pornographic sex scene. They're not
casting a wide gaze. That's for sure. I got nothing on that
either. This is the only
Razzie Award nominee to win the big prize, worst picture, but failed to win in any other
of the eight categories it was nominated. Jesus Christ. I was scraping. This one was tough. This
is tough, man. What was the woman in the movie? Who did you say? Jane March. Whatever
happened to Jane March. The funny thing is, I was going to guess last man's name. I feel like
it's something I may have seen a VHS cover for, but I don't know the name of. Let's go to the next one.
Bladis, Lance Henriksen, Scott
Baculate, and Brad Duref, co-star
in this film. Wow. That's a murderous row
right there. Seriously. Oh,
my God, I got to see this movie. I don't even think I have it.
And
finally, the tagline
in the heat of desire,
love can turn to deception.
Nothing is what it seems when
day turns into night.
Oh, that I know what it is. Yeah. Oh, man.
It's not this, but all those
words that you just said put the
title in my head of in the heat of the night
no it's not it no is it color
of night yeah color of night yes
I have heard of this I've never seen it
I was for a while
the coin flip because he was in two erotic thrillers
striking distance where he's on a boat a lot of it
oh sure and then color of night
is he's coast guard him and came basinger
no I think it's Sarah Jessica
Parker it is Sarah Jessica oh okay she's like
his new Coast Guard assistant
like he killed he had to kill his evil
brother Tom Seismore yeah
Back in the day, I think, something like that.
All right.
Horrid.
Also, a movie we will be doing here.
By the way, as we're recording this, I believe it is today,
Bruce Willis' 70th birthday.
Hey, happy birthday.
Congratulations, man.
All right.
All right, number three.
Hoof, color of night.
This cop thriller casts a long time W.H.M.
Favorite against a late great musician as a pair of corrupt cops
setting up a homeless man in a frame job.
Stephen.
Oh, I know what it is.
It is...
oh man no
that's not the title
is it
it's a very long title
bullet
no is it
why did you just slowly
say every title possible
this answer is falling apart
like a Chinese motorcycle
all right is it
uh uh fuck
is it two bullets
no
no no
now that he's ants
could you say that again
I know the cast of it
this cop thriller
casts a long time
WHM favorite
against the late great musician
as a pair of corrupt cops
setting up a homeless man
in a frame job
I think I know the cast too
I feel like I can't
I can't think of the title at all
so I think about late great musicians who acted
petty
I'll go there to the next
number two okay the title of this film
related related directly
to the largely racist crime trends
of local news in the 1990s
now I know it
Andrew
oh no you just did what I did
damn it no it's not white man's bird is
it is no let's keep going down
because I don't know the title at all and I'm never
going to get it I think I know the two actors
you probably do the film's the other guy in white man's
was Travolta Travolta yeah the film
co-stars Dennis Quaid Gary Cole James Earl Jones
David Pamer and one more musician
the rapper Cool Modi
What a fucking cast
Is this James Belushi and Tupac Shakor?
It is indeed
Oh yes yes that's what I cannot think of the
fucking name of it I now know the title too
Yeah we watched almost
all of this movie as we were at
a friend's house getting ready for his wedding
it was on the TV
all right let's keep going maybe the tagline
will fucking spark something I have one
before the tagline this was the
this was the last narrative
film that Tupac Shakur appeared in before
his murder in 1996
that give you nothing
that gave me nothing let's go on to the tagline
and I might not even get it at all
some cops play by the rules
their own
Wow, that's true.
This is also a definite state.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, 100%.
I'm just not going to be able to get the title.
That's fine.
Gang-related.
That is.
There it is.
It is gang related.
Which everybody, gridlocked is the other one that you think of all the time.
With Tim Roth.
With Tim Roth.
Yes.
Which I do think is a better movie.
I'm sure it is.
I got Tim Roth instead of Jim Volusian.
Yeah.
Okay.
So pretty good barometer there.
All right, fourth one.
Okay.
Everybody ready?
Mm-hmm.
Bloodbeth. We better get one.
This Florida set 1997 drama stars one of the greatest nepo babies of all time and a new Hollywood legend as, wouldn't you guess it, a Vietnam vet who must face his demons when his family is threatened.
Florida set nepo baby.
Vietnam veteran.
Could you read that again, please?
Sure.
This Florida set 1997 drama stars one of the greatest nepo baby.
baby's all time a new
Hollywood legend as
wouldn't you guess it a Vietnam vet
who must face his demons when his
family is threatened so it's a Nepo
baby with someone playing a Vietnam vet or they're
playing they're both it's both things both things
are one person gotcha
so the star of the movie is a new
Hollywood Nepo baby who's playing a
Florida living Vietnam better yes
fuck this is
tough huh yeah
I got this is like the heat
of the 90s independent speak so you
got all these fuckers that have like big
star in it and that almost nobody's
love. Yep. Yep. I'm going to vote to kick it.
Yes, kick it. Okay. Number two, the film
features a highly rare second bill performance by home improvement legend
Patricia Richardson. Hell yeah. As well as
a very young Jessica Beale.
Oh, Jesus Christ. Oh,
wow. Wait. Is it
Yeah.
Lorenzo's oil?
No.
Damn, Loz.
Fucker.
Lorenzo's motor oil.
Lorenzo's lobster boil?
Where's the butter?
Oh, no, I know what it is now.
God damn it.
Don't you do it.
Son of a bitch.
Oh.
Let's kick it.
Fucker, yeah, I can't, yeah.
The lead character's name is in the title, but is not the entirety of the title.
Which would make me.
say Lorenzo, but it's not. It's the other
one. It's close. The other one is the other. Like I said,
it's close. It's right.
I don't know movie
titles like that. Dude, this is
a, this is a tough one, man.
This is tough. Uh, fuck.
And his name is not Lorenzo. No, it is not.
Oh, fucker. Um,
let's keep going. Yes.
Lorenzo, they're towing your car, man.
Get my cigs out of it. I'm a
fucking veteran. Oh, yeah. Make you
feel like a big man. Toe a
A veteran's car.
Peter Fonda's lead character in this film
May know the whereabouts of some hidden treasure.
The bounty gained by his dead son in a fatal robbery.
The legend of curly's cold.
Not far, again, not far off.
Andrew.
Uly's goal?
Yes, it is.
Thank you.
Thank you for saying.
Because otherwise it would just be really,
anti-clingmatics of the game here.
I was going to say the last
hint was for you, Andrew.
Jonathan Demi helped get financing for that film.
Sure, yeah, yeah.
It's, you know, that's a title
that I've seen all over the place.
I've never seen that they don't know anything about it.
It's just like one of those titles, you always kind of passed on.
That's Lorenzo's Oil.
What do I sit around watching Lorenzo's Oil?
You should. It's a good movie.
It's a really good movie.
And the last one, I am really scared after the last one,
This might be also a no-go.
A real brain.
I thought we were done.
This is the last one.
Oh, you can sit it out of you.
I probably will end up sitting it out like all the other ones.
Directed by a major international filmmaker, this Hollywood drama pits Bill Pullman against Gabriel Byrne while they both sort out the aftermath of an abduction.
Wow.
This is another secret movie, it sounds like.
Watching Gabriel Byrne movies.
Let me just go into my box of Gabriel Byrne movies.
Defending the realm, that's all I got.
I guess it's not cool world, isn't it?
I did once own...
The Red and Terry was in 2018.
I once owned Stigmada on BBB.
Oh, boy.
Let's kick it.
Okay.
Wait, is he in that movie?
Stigabody, yeah, he's in...
End of days.
End of days.
Who's the guy in...
That's a different question.
Yeah, it's a different damn show.
two years after this film came out
filmmaker would get some gas in his tank
thanks to the global success
of his music documentary
Buena Vista Social Club
Okay
Okay
Yeah this is gonna be hard
Because this dude's got a lot of fucking great movies
That nobody's seen over enough
Because he just worked man
He fucking worked
God damn it
Okay 90s
This director
Bill Pullman and Gabriel Byrne
Fucker
was on a lot of VHSs
and I didn't see it until I think maybe like
five years ago.
I go back to get it.
At least three years later,
this movie essentially ended the goodwill
train that had been rolled out for Andy
McDowell following the success
of four weddings and a funeral.
Gabriel Byrne.
Yes. Bill Pullman. Yes.
Andy McDowell. Yes. And the director, which I'm
sure you and probably, I don't know
if the guy knows. If the clue doesn't name,
him at any point. Can I get a half a point for knowing
the turn? It's short. I will
toss that one out.
Fuck. This
dude does have so many movies that you didn't
know he made or ever heard. Yeah.
It's really weird.
That's punts. The title of the film
calls for the demise of something that
barely appears in the film.
Oh. Demise.
I'm just going to guess
that biggest is the only gear.
Is it still a sense of snow?
No, it is not.
Smelius.
Smegma's sense of...
Ultimate smegma.
Ultimate smegma.
I got nothing.
Nothing.
Okay, last one.
And this will make you guys happy.
This movie topped out at 386,673 at the domestic box office.
That sounds about right.
That sounds about right.
So the title calls the demise of something that's barely in the film.
But it's in the film.
But it is in the film a little bit.
This is the only one that I've not gotten post-guess.
Yeah, I was going to say, you didn't even...
Here's the mystery row.
Where have all the cowboys gone?
No.
That sounds like a movie title.
It sure does.
The movie is the end of violence.
Oh, directed by Vim Vendez.
One of his American joints.
That was it, fellas.
Vim weasled into the United States and made a bunch of movies.
Andrew made up some ground this one.
Yeah, yeah. No, no, it's about, I mean, he actually with the two extra points, he is in the lead now.
Oh, wow, okay. All right.
No, no, no. No, no. That extra point for vendors?
Yes. No, no, no, for, uh, for, uh, because I knew Tupac.
Uli's gold. Oh, Lee's gold.
Just saying I knew Tupac and did belus.
He's getting close. We're going to hand in that point, little small points.
Belipa does the math afterwards, but I believe he's narrowed the gap. It's 28, 26, 24.
All right. Well, look at that. It's an exciting year for this.
Yeah. It is, indeed. And, uh, we're going to all get excited because we're talking about a Joey
King movie. So everybody
just get the thrills going. It's not
a kissing booth. No, it is not.
They're fine.
There's a, there's a trilogy? There's a trilogy. And she's kissing
everyone in that thing? I believe she's kissing Jacob
Allerty. She is. Over and over again.
How the hell would she get a stepstool out for that
shit? Get me a stepstool for that
as well. It's not
Noah, it's not Noah Cento, is it or whatever
the other guy. Oh, I don't know.
Those are to all the boys. That's all the
Okay, okay. There we go. That did's a real
sensation these days. Which is amazing
because he appears in Black Adam.
Well, we've got ourselves
a suicide cold open. Fantastic
suicide. I love this.
Yes. Mama's taking out the trash.
Oh, have fun on your bicycle.
And then she hangs herself in the attic.
Isn't that awesome? She calls up Jack McCoy
and is like, Jack,
I did so many wrong things. I don't know
why I did them. I got to go.
And then at the end, she writes in her suicide note,
is this because I'm a lesbian?
What?
That is the end of her
We've been through this
That's right
The Chonzie's Law & Order
It's Elizabeth Rome
The actress who's
Who's playing this mother
Is playing the mother
Is an ADA for Law and Order
And then she's never a lesbian
The entire run on that show
And then like
She gets fired by Fred Dalton Thompson
At the end is like
You gotta get out of here
And then she goes
Is this because I'm a lesbian
And everyone's like wait what
And then
Fred Dalton Thompson responds with
Hamana hamina hamina hamana
Hamana hamina
not on paper
I get sued myself
you see
but yeah so she hangs
you gotta go to a hotel
I'm sorry
you know
to kill yourself
yes
if you got a kid at home
you do the right thing
yeah don't start the holiday
end's problem
exactly but listen
it was a beautiful moment
you saw your kid riding the bicycle
you're like I taught her how to ride the bike
my work here is done
you go up to the attic
she's not supposed to be mulling around the attic
this kid and not to be spoilerific here
but there's not much movie, so I can be...
Go ahead. Go for it.
She's throwing away the wish box here.
She's throwing away the wish box.
And like, so what did she wish for?
They're living in a shit house.
Yeah, what's true?
Did she wish for Ryan Philippi's saxophone talent?
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe he loves jazz.
Just can't get it together.
And now he's the best saxon.
And the irony, the bitter monkey's paw irony,
after she kills herself, he'll never play again.
I'm assuming you've got several parents with cancer
that are getting...
Okay.
And then maybe Max wasn't always alive.
Maybe he's an undead dog.
Oh, that could be.
You see her hanging, and then she's...
Her feet her kick gets like, really cool air, Jordan.
It's one of the wishes.
Just do it, dude.
Do you think is the thing when she was like,
I wish my husband, Ryan Philippi, was really good at,
and then she heard something.
She's like, what is that?
A saxophone?
And then the box was like, saxophone, got it.
No, no, no, no, no.
I was the mess of...
No, I hope he's really good at.
Who's messing with that dumpster?
Oh, shit.
No, no, no, no, that's a talent that still doesn't get you money.
No, no, no, no.
Now he is good at the dumpster.
Dude, this box needs to be talking.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I want a little subject.
Or just a little, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Hashtag dumpster daddy.
He's a dumpster diving daddy.
He's a dumpster diving daddy.
Ryan Phillipoo is a dumpster diving daddy.
Yeah, sure he is.
But, yeah, she goes back.
The dog is smelling this wish box.
It's not, no bueto.
No, this dog knows what's up, just like dogs doing any.
kind of paranormal situation. This dog's
like, hey, you better get away from that box.
But yes, so the Joey, little
baby Joey King. Yes.
It's kind of a great shot where she drops her
bike on the lawn and like runs up the stairs
finds her mom's feet swing in there.
The mother, I have to say,
waits for the kid to open the door before she kicks the stool.
Exactly. Well, maybe you know you're debating
killing yourself and they're like, what the hell is that?
And she slips. Oh, she maybe was thinking
about not doing it and she got spooked and
accidentally killed her. Well, that's, to
Steve's point, like, I wish we had gotten a little bit
more of what's going on here, because
like, maybe this is, like, the deal
you made with, with the demon
is that, like, no,
she has to see it.
Like, whatever you fucking asked for,
you asked, you went back on a whole
bunch of shit, because you have to remember, that is
why we don't see anything, is because more than likely
Elizabeth Robb's last fucking wish was the same as her.
I wanted to all go back to normal.
So you don't get to see all the cool shit she got.
To your point, demons are very visual animals.
Yes. So they want, look, you're going to scar your cage.
You've got to go all out and really just fucking, I mean, honestly, you should have done it naked, too, really just to fucking sear it in there.
So she hangs herself and no one moves this bike for like eight years.
This bike is just rotting in the exact same spot.
Well, it's a funny.
It's a metaphor, obviously.
I was going to say, Stephen, is it not a symbol for Ryan Phillips is tortured psyche?
Well, this is a smart movie, dude.
But it's also very stupid.
To Steve's point, who's leaving that bike
in that exact same position?
To just let it weather and rust on the line.
Are you looking at some of the shit?
He's allowing to stay in his house and outside of his house.
That one is just fine.
I made a table out of your old bike.
Look.
There's all these diapers.
We can use these diapers.
They're barely used.
He is the hottest hoarder you've ever seen.
Yeah, yeah.
Dude, it is him and this other guy
and they just drive around town,
taken garbage and
collecting it and it reminded me because we're going
back through, we watched it recently, the sunny
episode where Charlie
and Franks start doing that.
They're like, look at all this stuff that they're just
throwing away these morons and bringing all this
garbage into Charlie's apartment. Look at this.
Yeah, like that's what they're fucking doing.
It's like, look, someone's throwing away these wrought iron
bedposts. That's ridiculous.
Used batteries right here for me.
God, it's one thing if you're driving around like
collecting furniture, but this is just
it's junk. It's just.
I remember when I was living in the Bronx
I threw out an air conditioner
put it out on my curb
and I mean 30 seconds later
my doorbell rang and like, excuse me, Sarah,
you don't need that I see's garbage?
And I'm like, yeah, he's like, but if I take it
I'm like, go right?
They actually asked you?
That's kind of surprised.
Yeah, he didn't take anything out of it.
If it's on the street, just take it.
I'm making a frion cocktail with it.
It tastes better.
going down.
That guy's probably dead by now.
Absolutely. The ironic thing was
he was carrying Steve's air conditioner home and
another one fell on him. He killed with that very
nice. And the wishbox made
its melody as that was happening.
Take it off me. But save the
Friott. It might still be
good. His buddy there is
this Carl, played by
Kevin Hansen. You've seen him in a bunch. He's just a very
very prolific kind of like
eighth level character.
Agent 43.
Yeah, exactly.
Sure, yeah, yeah.
But, yeah, they're just, I love it.
And it's like, she keeps, it is kind of nuts.
Like, if your dad has this embarrassing proclivity,
I don't think it's too much to be like,
could you not be by the school?
Yeah.
You do not be by the school.
I love that.
We are across the street from the school.
I'm allowed to, I could smoke over here, you know, like real.
But like, there's, these are huge dumpsters
that are presumably maybe for the school.
And it just looks like it's just bad.
of like food waste or something
that they're going to do. These burgers are still
oh look it was fucking pizza Friday
and like all these kids are just taking pictures
and by the way on her on her way in Joey King's
way to sad way to school. She says
hello to Sherilyn Fenn. Sure, Mrs.
DeLuca. Yes. A sad old
shut-in Mrs. DeLuca. Totally.
You know, how about some more shut-ins that
looks like Sherilyn Finn? How about that?
Exactly. It's a very... Just put that out there.
Hot hoarders, hot shut-ins.
Wow. Totally. This is truly a fantastic.
Well, here's the thing is they might
actually be very attractive. You don't know
because shut-ins you never really see
and hoarders you never really see.
There might actually be a huge demographic of
sexy hoarders and sexy
shut-ins. But carbon shivers, you do,
they're hard to hide those ones.
So they might be hot.
If you see a hoarder's house or something, you know
like, oh, there's a hoarder that lives there.
Yeah. Home invasion. Find out if they're hot.
Okay. Find out if they're hot.
There you go. Good luck getting around in there during the home
invasion. You're going to fucking get buried
under newspapers. Totally. We wanted to rob and torture
this woman, but I was crushed by a pile
of newspapers she had. Well, I broke
the window, but the door won't open.
And they're probably aggressive, right? Because they think it's all
treasure. Oh, yeah. Right? I survived
on pickled something. It was
in a jar. It was very muddy. I missed
hoarders, man. I watched a shit ton of horses.
Did it over? Did they end that? I think they did
end it. What happened to season finale?
The series finale, rather.
They finally turned the light off on
house they find that was the end of it
the largest house in America
by a hoarder like the most
square inch hoarding as one can
get I yeah I never watched
a single episode of it
because I was because it was one of those things and I'm not like
on a high horse at all because I watch
tons of exploitive stuff no it's human misery
but I was like you're turning around today these people
got problems what about what about hoarding
coland buried alive
I think a different series yes I know
same concept it's like fear of the walking dead
They just went to Los Angeles
It's a same show with Cliff Curtis
Ruben Blades shows up
It's nice
But yeah so like
On her way very importantly
She almost gets run over by the mean girls
Oh totally this mean girl
I gotta say this bully
Darcy
Now here's something
The way that this bully
functions is Darcy bully
And also the way that Ryan Philippi
is constantly referring to Joey King's character
as buddy and bud
I'm gonna wager
there's an original draft of this movie
where this Joey King character
is a boy and the bully's a boy
you know what I mean? It's like it's very masculine
bullying it's weird right
it's weird like that it's not like mean girl
bullying like this girl's a fucking real
nasty like Nelson Munn's fucking
Stephen King bully it's
the whole fucking school like
they make the school into like a demon
academy they're all like oh
like the minute the fucking Ryan Philpay is over
there in the garbage. Everybody's
got their phone out. That doesn't happen in actual
fucking schools. I'm sorry. It just doesn't. Well, you
never know. One or two, maybe. I can understand that. Here's what we got to do
with you, Chris. You got to go, we got to get you into the schools to see. We've
tried to take a look at KISS protocol before and I'm not doing it. I love
been kissed protocol. We got to do it. No. I also you, Eric. Schools
are pretty cruel. A buddy of mine, his dad, I don't know
if they have this all over the place, but in New York,
they have cops certain cops get the duty of the scooter cop in the little it's like a golf
car but it's thinner and smaller yeah those are it's like sub traffic cop humiliation it's like so
it's like health and safety you just you just drive around make sure to they made fun of his
dad for driving a scooter mercilessly like and he was a friend of mine but mercilessly to the
point I remember one time somebody was like come on hop on family we're going on
a vacation.
Oh, no.
You know what I mean?
So, like...
Was it an actual cop who was driving the dad?
Oh, yeah, his dad was a cop,
but that was his duty.
He was so awesome.
So that kid turned out okay?
Yeah, he's all right.
He's in our kid.
But it's just, you know, it's...
Finding out your dad does something a little embarrassing,
they will take it to the limit.
Sure.
One more time.
Yeah.
Though, I remember there was a guy,
uh, some father of a kid in my grade school was like,
a professional photographer
and like if the school had events
like sometimes that dude came to take the photos
and he's always wearing like a dumbass tie
like I don't know if he worked at like a Sears Portrait
Studio what kind of photographer he actually was
but he just was always dressed like the biggest
dufus and he'd be like taking
pictures cornally like the dad at
a family function yeah that girl
got made fun of it just happens
but so they almost
hit her here while she's
getting her uncle
no dialogue
from Uncle August
Oh man
Like I know this is their actual uncle
That they're estranged from
Is that the mother's
Rome's family
Yes yeah that's stated at some point
That it's the mother's uncle
We don't get it but there
And I imagine this was cut out of whatever grand
Fucking three hour version of this
No it was great
There seems
Uncle August did something
Ryan Philippe does not trust him
Because of
it sounds like it's something specific
yeah they don't like they don't he doesn't like
uncle august for whatever reason
he's like fuck that guy later in the movie when uncle august
is dead he's like fucking good ridden
and it's such a it's such a fuck this guy
attitude to an old man that
he did some it's dittling
I think it was dittling yeah did he try to kiss you on your wedding
day what's what exactly I want the answer
I want to know what's going on here
kiss you on your wedding day
but so she gives the paper
on Galagos, they almost
knock her off the road here.
It's a real, like, she got clipped by, like,
the side mirror or something. Like, this girl goes
down. And the, the two
friends that are with Darcy are like,
oh, that's so cool. Oh, yeah.
Oh, nice. I thought it was kind of cool.
Classic gay bully,
by the way, question mark.
Yeah, absolutely. This dude who's, like,
at least 30 years old, he's
got to be. Yeah. But they
feel like they're in, like, a different movie.
Like, they almost feel like characters from, like, bottoms or
something. Yes. It's just, it's like a fake thing. And I'm just like, oh, but you're, you're making
Joey King real. Yeah. A little weird. Well, this could be real nowadays. It's been a while.
It's been a while. I've wandered the halls of high school. So, well, that's going to say, we should
get you in the other. We should all go. Well, ever since they passed that law, you haven't been
around. Right. The anti-siska legislation. Oh, right. Yeah. Less said the better.
My name was on that bill. I do love, so Joey King is like, look at this great banner I made.
It's so cool for the big scavenger hunt.
Don't forget the scavenger hunt.
Senior Scavenge Hunt.
And it's her, her friend, Barb from Stranger Things.
Sure, you got Barb from Stranger Things.
Which, like, you know exactly when this fucking movie was made.
Barb has a co-starring role.
And then some other girl.
Other girl who's, again, this dates it fucking horribly.
This other girl who's obsessed with a fake Pokemon Go augmented reality game,
like monster hunter or whatever the fuck.
Still? Don't kids still go
Pokey crazy? I think the pandemic
killed the Pokemon.
Because you couldn't be outside getting them all.
You're not getting them all.
Wow, okay. I had no idea.
I mean, Pokemon is still popular.
I don't know if Pokemon Go. I mean, it could still be around,
but it's certainly not the sensation that it was at the time this movie was
written and so they put a fake version of a movie.
Right. Okay, yeah, yeah.
And also that game winds up being that girl's demise, which is pretty funny later on
the movie.
Oh, augmented reality.
I guess it's sort of still kind of a thing, right?
Well, it's like when Warby Parker is like,
you want to see how these glasses would look on you?
Like, that's, yeah, AR is still around in that way.
And I'm sure a bunch of other ways.
But so...
See how this TV is going to fit on your stand at the Best Buy website.
This grand hand-painted banner that her and Barb are trying to put up.
And here comes Darcy, ice coffee right on it.
Calarious.
Dude, how there isn't anyone from the school administration that's like,
okay, come on.
You're going to the fucking principal.
Apparently Eric's the principal at this one.
That's so good.
It's pretty fun.
Why would anyone care about your school and art and banners in it?
Isn't that your job, Principal Siska?
Oh, Principal Siska.
Someone didn't do a background.
They made a law that I'm not supposed to be here.
I snuck in.
Yeah, I remember kids making banners and stuff for dances and the big game.
You ever huck and ice coffee?
No, never, not once, and some were pretty bad.
But did they really care about their banner they were making?
No, they didn't, but that's, I mean, that's the problem is they, they clear, she went too far.
Like, I think one of her friends even says, like, you went a, you went a little too hard here.
Because it's not just a banner where you, like, painted letters on it.
It's like a mural on a thin piece of brown paper.
I couldn't even tell what this was supposed to be.
This is terrible art.
She should get, I'm sorry, there's a critic in the school.
An art critic is going to school.
I'm a free thinker, and I'll say what I like it.
That's your baby garbage sucks.
Her banner
reminded me of
I don't know
whoever in this room
is watching
Severance
but whenever they show
office art
that's like
the history of Lumen
and it's all these
crazy
like battle things
and whatever
and all these really
intricate
lot of people
in the picture
kind of paintings
it reminded me of that
it's just this big
intricate mural
with all these
little details
and characters
It was like a fantasy novel
cover
it is
exactly right
Bulldog
Senior Scaven
That's what this thing
There's like evil bulldogs on it
Because that's like the mascot of the school
That's a little dark
I mean call
Principal's office for sure
We're gonna talk about these deranged
Art you've been doing
What other stick figures are bleeding
In this book of yours
You like evil dogs huh
You like that talk to your principal about this
So Darcy's day by the way
She wakes up picks up her greatest friends
Nearly clips a girl
Who's mom kills herself
That's still not enough
Nope no
That girl's got some self-confidence.
She painted a banner.
I don't think so.
Ice coffee, curse smash.
Absolutely.
And she's not done.
No.
Isn't it also funny that they have this senior scavenger hunt and her father's a professional scavenger?
Yeah, I never thought of that.
That's a conflict.
She wouldn't have all these great scavenging ideas.
Oh, totally.
She's got the upper hand.
Oh, sorry, you can't participate.
What was your father's career and all?
Sorry.
The items aren't placed in the garbage.
You won't find any of it.
in the garbage.
And because the movie
sort of needs this to happen, because of
the nature of what the mystery box is
and where it comes from, Joey King's
character, I've never heard of this in a high
school. Pretty awesome language program here.
She's taking fucking Cantonese.
That'd be great. Pretty advanced.
God, I was like, is this an American
high school? You're going to be French these days.
Seriously.
You guys had Russian, which is pretty surprised. Yeah,
our language program was pretty big. We had
French, Spanish, Russian, Russian,
German and Latin was in there too.
It was Catholic high school,
it was Spanish and I think Italian because a lot of the kids were Italian.
Oh,
yeah, no, we had German, French, and Spanish.
The Latin, I was like, you fucking nerds.
There was, like, the nerds took Latin.
Yeah, we did not have Latin.
So other Catholic schools did, but we did that.
That's actually kind of surprised you, right?
Yeah, it would have been helpful for you.
You could flirt back with your priest.
My brother had to take Latin.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Gordon Prep, which is the better school.
Oh, nice.
Hey, hey, father.
A Dominic Patriot?
Dominic Patriot?
A Domino Patriot?
Spirited something.
La, la, la, la.
I thought only the Baptist spoken tongues.
God damn.
But, yes, she's taking care to these.
And that's just sort of happening.
Meanwhile, we follow Philippian Carl dumpster diving.
He's got these four.
rods that he's really excited about.
These rods. Shower rods or whatever.
This is like rod iron. So you know,
I mean, this guy has definitely
ripped the fucking, what do you
call it there? The stuff out of the house
copper wire. He's definitely done
that. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely.
While inhaling a bunch of delicious asbestos
probably. These rods, though.
Jesus, son, horseshit.
Loud deep pull.
No, the thing with the rods is
that's where he's at his most
like Charlie Kelly, because he's like, look at these rods.
We can do all sorts of cool stuff with these rods and break these rods on fright, put them in the trap.
And he also finds the wishbox.
There he's like, my little girl's got a birthday coming up, garbage present.
Freebie, freebie presents.
What does it do?
I don't know, it's a present.
And here's a half-eaten big bag.
Somebody threw out of Sega Genesis.
Does that do anything for you?
There's something in the game.
Oh, oh, there's something.
Oh, no.
We'll put some rubbing alcohol on that,
but here's half of a Sonic the Hedgehog cartridge.
The inside of the thing isn't supposed to be wet, right?
Any present you're getting from this guy is a little bit wet.
Look, it's a Genesis, and it's stuck inside it still was Ninja Turtles
and the Hyperstone Heist, okay?
It was a Sega Genesis exclusive turtles.
And yes, there are no adapters or controllers.
There you go.
Enjoy it.
I washed it thoroughly.
I think of it like a sculpture
you can have around
It's kind of cool
Meanwhile she's getting bullied
In the lunchroom a little bit here
And then this is just the absolute
funniest fucking thing
I did not expect from this movie
Because again like you
You Darcy have thrown
Ice Coffee at this girl
Nearly killed her this morning
And you walk by her and her friends
Just laughing
You know
It's just laughing
She's like
What's so fucking funny
And it's like
I want to know
And then she gets up
And gives this great speech
we called you smegma or the ultimate smegma.
Yes.
Smegma into ultimate smegma, yes.
And then she's like, what smegma?
So Claire has to like get up and I, you know, Pam or whatever her fucking name is,
picks up the phone.
She's like, here, just read.
Just read from Urban Dictionary for a few minutes in this movie.
Really cut down on the fucking time.
And like Joey King just reads the definition of smegma to this girl.
It's very funny.
I got to give this movie points for having smegma in there.
And I'm sure this is what all the kids are saying.
Absolutely. Right in. Very hip language.
Also, if you're in high school now, listening to this, start calling people smegma.
If you're on the bus with somebody, like, you're smegma.
Yeah, it's your smegma. Ultimate smegma.
Which I actually, I was pretty, because like, ultra, we weren't saying ultimate or ultra, but we were saying smegma in high school.
It's a great word. It's a fantastic word.
I'm surprised, though, that it's lived on that we're putting smegman in high school harmonies.
And people are doing it now, right? Because start spreading it. Don't tell, don't tell anyone you.
got the idea from us.
But you don't want to get in trouble yet.
But now, we've already done it the negative way.
You've got to go the other way with it now.
So, like, when something's really good.
What's positive?
You got to be like, oh, that's ultra smegma.
Oh, that is that's so good.
Oh, nice bike smegs, dude.
Total smegg.
Hot smegg.
Smegg jacket you got there.
I learned, I remember learning what smegma is in high school because a rumor went
around that this girl broke up with this dude that we kind of
knew because he had a
smegma problem. Oh, wow. Okay.
Yeah, I guess she was tired of it. I learned
it when I was eight playing
Super Mario Brothers. My sister's
friend was there. They're about
seven years old.
Cooper does this? Kupa did what?
They're about seven years old. Remember that level of Super Mario
Brothers where it's like gold
shit that goes up and down?
It's like, it looks like gold, but it's
like really firm and like Mario
has to avoid her. It'll crush him.
Yes, my sister's friend called
that smegma and I just
for the rest of my life I refer to that
when I think of smegam I think of that level of marriage
but so you then you heard the
word but I had no idea no no right yeah exactly
so when was that course correct did you were like
oh my god I've been saying what from
Mario all this time he saw a wish upon
last night
but you also you as the bully when someone says
your smegma after you've been bullying
them don't wait to throw hands
don't ask for the definition you know
it's bad you know what I mean like just
throw hands if you're going to throw hands.
So there's a little bit of a cat fight here that happens.
Yeah, yeah, got fight.
It's a pretty fucking big slob knocker.
It's not even a, it doesn't, it starts like slaps.
The slaps are pretty good.
Slaps are pretty good, but then we just go full on like grounded pound.
There's a, there's a, uh, Joey King gets pushed over a chair.
She also gets fucking million dollar baby to this movie.
Which, you know, better movie.
Sherilyn Vind kind of gets a million dollar baby.
She definitely does.
Well, she's got a fucking industrial fucking garbage disposal.
Dude, I think Tim Allen installed it.
You got the one that they give to, like, huge restaurants.
I don't know how industrial.
Never have a garbage disposal.
You're just asking to die.
Yep.
No, there's no reason to have this.
Anything can happen.
Just clean your fucking kitchen, you lazy pigs.
Yeah.
She doesn't see.
Pick the fucking trash out of your fucking sink and put it in the garbage,
you disgusting pigs.
That's what she's trying to do, Eric.
That makes no sense, though.
Well, because if you have one, why wouldn't you...
Why don't you have a guillotine over your sake?
You know what I mean? Exactly. Exactly.
When that scene comes, though, like, it makes no sense.
Like, you don't know what she's trying to do because she's getting her fucking hand in there.
And I'm like, I see carrots and I see celery.
What are you trying to dig out?
You need her to lose a ring or something.
Precisely. She's just like, well, this all appears to be functioning as it should.
The noise is weird. That's what she's so weird.
There's a little metallic sling.
Something's happening in there.
And I'm like, who cares?
Go to bed.
It's not broken.
Just leave the room.
You know, I've never actually seen one in real life.
I've only seen it.
People tell me they exist.
They do.
I have yet to see them.
My parents had them not in the house they live now, but the one before.
And I was just like, I want you guys to cover this up.
I don't need your fucking fingers in there.
Why do you have this?
You know, compost shit.
You know, anything.
You're asking for trouble.
Joey King does not really get suspended or anything, really.
She just kind of goes home with a black guy.
She goes to Cheryl and Finns and
She's like making juice for her.
Yeah.
She's just like,
oh,
you must have a crush on somebody,
boy or girl.
And it's like,
no,
it's a boy.
His name is Paul.
He's one of the,
he's like the,
the popular kid.
Yeah,
the second mean girl's boyfriend.
Correct.
Which I don't even know
if that girl's like named at any point.
No,
probably is,
you know,
whatever.
But so she drinks the juice,
you know,
have a good day.
You know,
things are a little bright now.
Drink it the juice.
She wheezes the juice.
and then she goes home to Ryan Philip A
and he's like, happy birthday, buddy.
Buddy, it's fucking buddy, man.
And here's this box I found in the trash for you.
What am I supposed to do with it?
I don't know.
Well, it's got Chinese lettering on it.
You like Chinese stuff.
You're taking Chinese or some shit, right?
Looks like somebody made.
There's one of them fancy,
smancy 3D printers out there, you know?
Oh, it's ancient you say.
But him and Carl, it was a long day.
They're just crushing some beer
up the porch. Long day of fucking dumpster
diving, dude. Did you find
those beers in the trash also? Was that outside
a fucking convenience store dumpster?
We only drink what we find.
It's a rule between me and you,
we always
what we find.
That would be awesome if your father just starts
vomiting on your porch after giving you a birthday
and then he starts picking it up, scrabbing
it. Like, look, someone left this here.
Some one. These carrots
and peas might help somebody.
I can sell these keys and kids.
Happy birthday dinner.
I don't know what this girl is eating.
We should see at least one sad, frozen meal.
Right.
Bill of B is not cooking.
That's that weird, but she hands him a bag.
And the bag, he's dismayed to find inside of it is salads.
But I don't know if A, if that's just like free lettuce or if there's an actual salad.
in there, she bought somehow.
I think, well, because Cheryl and Fenn got it for them, right?
Oh, is that she goes back for Cheryl and Penn's
house, like, oh, we got from Ms. DeLuca
or whatever. Because I think it's like, Ms. DeLuca knows
that you're a widower, and I'm eating
fucking Kraft macaroni and cheese powder
every night for dinner. I'm going to say 10 years
on, man. You've got to put your shit together.
The bicycle is the least of the issues
at this point. Dumpster Daddy making a
salad would be like lawn clippings.
There's some grass. A little bit of dirt in there for
protein. Vound salad. I put some seeds.
You haven't finished your dandelions.
Oh, you guys is going to say dandelions.
They'd definitely be in a lawn salad.
That's a nice floral.
Classic lawn salad.
But so she goes into a room and she's like, oh, this is a nice Chinese box that doesn't open.
That's cool.
And she looks online and there it is.
It's not only video of the fight, which is something.
Hell yeah.
But they're calling her garbage girl because she does have indeed, because we have photographic evidence of her hashtag dumpster daddy.
Garbage Girl and Dumpster Daddy
Wasn't that a Robert Rodriguez film that I missed?
Totally, yeah, it was Antonio Banderas, a couple of kids
Nobody remembers.
I think Melanie Griffith was also in that.
Yeah, Carla Bouguino is also.
Oh, no, it was Carla. It wasn't Melanie, you're totally right.
It was filmed entirely on green screen
and in Robert Rodriguez's garbage.
Lava Girl, you must destroy dumpster Daddy.
I'm sorry, Dubster Daddy is a really good one, man.
But like, I want to go back to high school
to bully that girl.
I'd be too.
I mean, but that is such a weird, like, you're fucking, your garbage scrounging dad is hot.
Yes.
That is a weird.
I don't know if that's a, I don't know what that is.
I don't know if that's a compliment.
He's only hot when he's playing the saxophone.
Yeah, that's true.
But why would you call it daddy?
Well, no, it's just, it's the illiteration.
We're having fun here.
I guess, but everybody knows the daddy.
The daddy is a, but I think, 17, daddy had exactly.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know if it was just, I don't know if the, the, the, the, whateverification of daddy had
happened.
at that point.
Audience, you have it in the comments in search.
I think Daddy was well known at that point.
We need some Daddy Historians.
We do.
We don't have any historians in here.
So she like opens this thing and it's like playing the eerie music?
She can't open it.
It opens by itself.
Oh, sure.
Right.
Afterward, the wish has been grunted.
With the curse and all, yes, that's right.
But she grabs it and she's holding watching this video and she's like, oh, I wish Darcy's so and so would just rot.
Rot, which is a weird.
it's a weird thing
to say about somebody
I wish you'd rot
just go right for it
I wish she was fucking dead
drop dead
yeah
yeah
or eat shit
and then she has to eat shit
yeah
oh that would be
that would be
oh you'll made a wish
she's going to eat
some shit
tonight
it's going to be an old
you can eat the buffet of shit
and I mean that's a thing
if the wishmaster
showed up
such a better film
anything
like give me a figure in the shadows
give me a voice
I don't care
totally I mean it's this like
ancient Chinese
box or whatever. Get a fucking Asian actor
in there to play like the ghost of whatever's
or you don't go full on Willam Defoe
a death note. Hi, how you doing?
Oh right, dude. That was
a mistake. How did he do that? Not a great
idea. Oh, hey.
Writing a little death note on you.
Yeah. The man in the
shadows is her boyfriend.
That's the man in the shadows.
Oh, right, right. It's a bear who's
obsessed with her. So we cut to the next
morning. It's clearly a rich
person's house here and Darcy
is waking up. The friends
have slept over and are just crashing
on the floor, which is weird only
because we're told
in the previous, you know,
days worth of scenes that it is indeed
a Monday. Sure. Because when she gets
sideswiped by that car trying to get the
newspaper for Uncle August, she's like,
huh, Monday's starting out great
isn't it, Uncle Garfield? That's interesting.
So Monday night into Tuesday,
they sleep over. We're sleeping over. So that
you can't have like four or five kids using the
same bathroom in the morning. Jesus Christ, what a
Well, it's a rich person house, so presumably there's maybe some of the bathroom.
They're probably very expensive.
There's probably eight bathrooms.
Right.
Exactly.
I mean, it's just to have the kids see her in the morning.
Sure.
Yeah.
But I assume the way they have this relationship between these three, I imagine the other two are
like suckling on her many like a pregnant dog-esque tits.
Of course.
Every night before they go to bed.
They got to get their susten.
Their popular juice, yes.
But so she wakes up and like, she got these like thigh high stock.
on but you can tell her legs are all messed up but she's like well that's odd and she peels them off
and like it's evil dead under there dude it is a rotten ass foot man and it's pretty you know again
like this movie for a pg 13 movie it gets there i will say that yeah you want it to be r you
want it to go all the way sure but you know but it's high school don't go all the way in high
school wait maybe your freshman year of college well it depends if you're in love or not eric
exactly yes you got to get married the big l mature are you mature enough to have sex
No, but like her legs are, like, you, you yourself, you squirm.
You're like, okay, it's a PG-13 movie and I am squirming.
If it's an R-rated movie, she's picking stuff off her body.
Yes, exactly, yes.
Or it's just shit, like, it's just sliding off.
Oh, yeah.
And then she looks at her, her face actually pretty generous, just some, like, a little, a little bit of a two-face.
It's kind of like they recently rescued her from the Borg, but they haven't got all the shit off her face yet.
I think it makes her look cooler, yeah.
It's pretty cool.
Oh, number one, number one, do I look?
Disgusting
I got this
Lucutus out of my eyes
How does it look?
Is it bad?
Give it a pass.
Can you give a nice little
poll there?
All right now
today is the first day
the captain's coming back.
He's very sensitive
about the look cutus
marks on his face.
Do you notice it?
Do you notice it?
No, I don't see anything, Captain.
Welcome back, Captain.
Oh my God, I made the robot
vomit.
Welcome back, Captain's face.
God damn it.
Fuck, Captain's face.
I mean, because,
And yes, there is smegma coming out of the holes.
You can say it.
That's what the smell is.
Before you start asking questions.
And before you look for clarification, Mr. Data, yes, it's ultimate smegma.
I had the doctor's check.
So, yes, we learn later in the day at school that she's suffering from necrotizing fasciitis,
which I believe is the flesh-eating virus.
Yes, it is.
That they say that she got during a spa day, which is unfortunate.
because it's, of course, the product of Joey King's
wish, but now this spa's in trouble.
Oh, the spa's in huge trouble.
We're going to close down, the fucking health department.
That should be another wish.
Well, I don't wish the spa any bad will.
Yeah, the proprietors there.
Maybe help the spa house.
I wish Rory's spa house on St. Boulevard
would stay up, and please.
So, like, it is really fucking funny here.
Like, they're looking at the video and they see her,
whatever it is, and Joey King,
King goes, wow, she's rotting.
And the second she says rotting,
she makes this really bad
like light bulb facial expression.
I'm like, that's the word I use last night.
Oh, no.
And then like, it's probably nothing.
The friends come by,
they're collecting for a GoFundMe.
Which is amazing because she's rich.
And they're like, we're starting to go fund me.
And like, they're like, oh, you don't want to,
you don't want to give?
Yes.
Oh, that's gross.
And I'm like, what?
You switch the movie again.
We're in a different movie again.
Go fund this with the fingers.
I love it.
Pretty great.
And not just fingers, folks, middle fingers.
Middle fingers, and she does like the downturn, like, however you want it.
It's the middle fucking finger.
How dare you not give money to your sworn enemy?
I just don't know.
That's just disgusting.
I've never heard of such a thing.
That's the brassy friend.
That's a Meredith.
Meredith.
There it is.
And of course, because Shannon Persson who played Barb on Stranger Things, her name was
Barb on Stranger Things.
She used to be June here.
Like, just we're keeping it in that like.
Ethel.
Is that her name in that movie?
Exactly.
we don't want to stray too far from Barb
No glasses though
No no glasses I think she was like
All right I'll do your movie but these Sally Jesse Raphael
glasses are coming off I don't give a shit
Not doing that and I'm not getting in a fucking swimming pool
Thank you very much
And because this movie is written by a cruel fuck
The first victim of this piece of shit
Wishbox is the poor goddamn dog
Yeah he's with Max
He ordinarily sleeps in her bed
By the way, he is, when the wish box comes back, the dog's like, fuck this.
Yes, it's the same dog.
That's what's actually a nice little thing is like, it's a puppy at the start of the movie.
And then Max is like a little senior citizen dog now.
Killing the dog is weird because it's like other times it just kills people.
Yeah.
Are they saying dogs are the equal of people?
I believe so.
Which is stupid because dogs are above human beings.
And then why not more animals dying later on?
Exactly.
Why doesn't this affect the local zoo?
You're cutting out of the local zoo
Where the elephants are bleeding
Well I think the thing is you
Joey King
Because it's like a blood price thing
And like later when she meets
You know Ryan's cousin or whatever
She gets killed immediately
Because she likes her
I think it's a matter of like knowing
And liking the thing
So like if that was me
And if I could figure
If I could game this out
I would go to the zoo
And be like
I love you baboon
Oh I love you so much
And then wish for a million bucks
Oh no my favorite baboon died
you think you are fucking you think you are pulling the wool over the eyes of a chinese demon
yeah you're right he's just going to be like you don't really care about that man are you serious
that's the first time he met that monkey i know you don't give a shit about the panther go home
but to the point we're making with this joke the fact that the box just doesn't do anything
doesn't produce a demon doesn't say shit it puts it in this final destination
category. Yes. Yeah. And that's a mistake. It is. Because you need the cool kills and we try to do it, but the editing to get the PG-13 kills all of it. So it's like you don't have a villain and it's boring kill-wise. Her dog basically just goes out to the house and dies. You don't even see it die. You just see the body. It's just the fucking oh. And the rats. The rats ate it open. Yeah, you see the body and the rats that are eating the intestines out of it. Thank you very much. That's fucking nice. We should say every time that this is happening.
The Wishbox opens and a weird, eerie song that's a music box plays.
And then it comes.
We'll say a positive thing about this movie.
The whole production design on this box is pretty cool.
I like all the intricate music box gears and everything.
Classic lacquer on it, I will say, that was the one thing I kind of have an issue with.
It's like, it's a little too nice.
Yeah.
For the ancient thing from many a year and like it looks like you bought this at Target.
Well, that's the thing is, like, and they don't explore it in the movie, right?
When they try to destroy it later on in the film and, like, Ryan is hitting it with a sledgehammer and nothing's, like, it should be like, oh, I hit this thing.
And there's not even a scratch on it.
They should play it up.
Yeah.
The move is taking it on Antiques Roadshow and get a fucking mint.
Oh, absolutely.
You get that one British guy who is like, it's Chinese.
There's one guy that, like, is British.
He's like the Chinese exes like, yes, it's in this dining.
But he was, yes, it is Chinese.
Now tell me, when it opens, what song does it play?
Does it, oh my God, it does not play.
It does not play.
When I'm going to make you sweat by C&C music.
I've been tangoing with that box for many years.
That Chinese box took my wife.
Oh my god
How about some takeaway
From the Chinese
That's very funny
I've never seen that guy
He's really good
Yeah he's a younger looking guys
He's got a pick that he's picking it stuff
Oh much Chinese
Not Japanese
Chinese
But so the dog is dead
They bury it
She's like oh
Dog funeral scene in the middle
of the shitty horror movie
You gotta have a dog funeral for this guy
Are they putting them in the front lawn, though?
I think of a good look at that.
Right next to the bike.
They have not moved.
Eat them.
You're hard up for food in this house.
Some pro-sheen.
Yeah, that might not be a bad idea.
I don't know, though, because you would assume part of it is that the dog ate like rat poison.
Yeah.
And that's like, you don't want to be eating that shit.
Yeah.
I guess so.
But she's holding the collar, like, you know, very sentimentally.
And he's like, you know, I could do something with that collar.
I could make something out of that collar.
You wanted me, too.
I could take that collar and, like, maybe turn it into a cool tie for me, like a cool clip-on tie.
We were watching a pee-wee the other night, and, you know, he had that big machine that makes breakfast.
Maybe we get one of this as a rotor for a breakfast-making machine.
Yeah, it's just a part of the breakfast machine.
Dad, you've been talking about this breakfast machine for 12 years.
It's never going to happen.
I just need a few more curtain rods to make the conveyor belts.
There'll be egg on your face because I'm still working out the kinks on this thing.
I'm not hearing you
I'm not hearing you
But so she buries it's very sad
We go to the school
And she goes to her
Chinese language teacher
And this dude very pointedly
And this you gotta remember this
Especially for the mid-credit sequence
At the end of this movie
The guy says
This box, the writing on it, Joey King
Is in ancient Chinese
so I, the Chinese language
teacher, can't read it for you.
You're going to have to get some like
academic to do it. Just keep that in mind. This is what we're
told, quote, ancient Chinese.
Much like the secrets.
And then here comes Ryan
with his skater buddy and
he's like, you know, my cousin
Gina could probably do
that. She's a scholar.
For titpicks. Yeah.
The buddy
ruins it, man. Because I'm talking to this
girl here. If you don't mind.
And he's got like a years long
standing crush on Joey King.
You know, other guy
knows that. Exactly. You know what I mean?
And I do love in the credits. By the way, this guy's just
credited as Ryan's friend.
Yeah. Yeah, for titpicks.
Oh, yeah.
I said, yeah, I'll keep that in mind. That's how you get cast as
Ryan's friend. You start fucking ask for titpicks.
Yeah. Oh, he went to the audition
and asked the casting director for some titpics.
That kid's got it. Oh, my God.
That's Ryan's friend right there.
I mean, he's good, but it was a little rude.
But she goes home and she's mooning over this dude, Paul all day.
And then she goes, you know, and she's looking at his Facebook or whatever Facebook.
Oh, uh, Pix a Post.
Thank you.
Oh, God.
I missed it.
I love that.
Dude, straight out of a fucking Lifetime movie with Pixa Post.
Any fucking fake Facebook I'm in on.
I'm just so funny.
I was going to say, there is, like, this is kind of a best case scenario for Lifetime horror.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, big time.
This is like, because the feeling of the movie.
overall is the after school special. After school special, dead parents, shitty father.
Reminds me of that one we did actually on Lifetime, which was the devil's diary.
Devil's diary, yes. Oh, yes. The doll. Yes, the doll. No, no, no. There's that's two different ones.
There's a book and there's a doll. Yeah. Folks at home, we were talking about our life, once in a lifetime
series on Patreon where we do Lifetime movies. And it's great time. We got a new one of those
coming out next month. As a matter of fact, we just laid that down. Pocket to Dial Murder.
It was a horror.
It was a horror.
But so she's like, I hope that
I wish that Paul's Moon House
or whatever the fuck this fake name.
Middlebrook.
Middlebrook.
Moonhouse!
Those damn kids at Moonhouse.
I would have you called a Moonhouse.
I wish that Paul Moonhouse falls madly in love with me.
They got that name for flashing their asses at the Dean.
That's a goddamn moonhouse.
Oh, he's flashing now behind at me.
Oh, I'm the crusty old Dean.
who did this, moon house.
I'm going to kick you out.
Now I will be showing you
my moon. Dean,
that prank waggling dicks
around wasn't us. We're fucking moonhouse,
man. We show butt, not
dick. You might see our balls
occasionally depending.
That butt is shitting on the day of
commencement?
It's a shitting moon?
The shitting moon
will come too soon.
If you're mooning, you might as well step it up
a notch get a log out of that guy
that's a lot of coordination
put your ass out of car window and
take a shit and then you know
possibly accidentally like piss all over the inside
of the car yeah
don't you're a teenager
or college student you can do that accidental out of it
go full John Waters I pissed and shit
in here yeah and now let's
play with it oh cockat play
um so yes Paul's
all hot for her the next day talking to
Claire in the hallway yeah and it's kind
of funny because he like stopped and he's like
hardcore flirting with this girl.
And then the girlfriend is like,
Paul, what are you doing?
Like flirting right in front.
It's kind of funny because it takes him a while
to break up with the girlfriend.
He's like, oh, nothing.
And like, you know, he got to goes on his business.
I think she doesn't,
she's not sure if this wish worked is the idea.
She's uncertain.
But the fact that the dude is talking to her at all
is kind of like, hmm.
And then we as the audience know
that this wish worked because we cut to Uncle August.
Oh, it's bath time,
an Uncle August house.
I love this.
Bath time where you fucking need a nerve.
to be helping you out clearly
Uncle August. This would have happened
anyway. This fucking bathtub's a death trap
for a senior citizen. I don't see any
of those little pads on it. And where's
the door? You'll open the little door
so you can walk in, you don't have to lift your old
foot up or lift. Or at least a bar to
like pull your size. Well,
I lived on the edge my whole life.
Might as well just have
a normal bathtub. It's a
it's your freestanding
sleek egg design.
Totally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just something like you can't
get in this tub after 65.
Like, it's so dangerous. I'd be nervous.
I was nervous in the shower this morning thinking about this movie,
honestly. See, Wishapon
due to cautionary tale. It's a scary
movie. Look at it. He's terrified.
This dude slips
and cracks his head on the fucking side
of the tub. Hilaries. And then I love how
he tries to get up and smashes his head on
the faucet. The rare double bonk.
Because you get the bonk on the way down and it's a
good gunk. And then like, he's like, wait,
the water is hitting him from the tap.
And he wakes up and does, and he gets
it there too. The second
one didn't kill him. I think the first one really
like the first one did the most damage
but also like we said the taps on
he's getting waterboarded he's fucking waterboarding
himself. He's drowning to death
I mean the thing isn't doing it
the drowning good. He was a bad guy
apparently that's what Ryan Phillip he's telling
he made the news though apparently
I think it's like you know
you don't know I believe
this is Pennsylvania
set or possibly Ohio set
I think actually Ohio yeah I think
And he, again, it's not all in the cut and maybe it wasn't even the script,
but he feels like one of those, this was the guy that owned the town.
Oh, yeah, Ohio Richie.
Like the richest, the richest guy in the town.
We don't.
Yes.
Oh, my God, that guy's house is worth $50,000.
He must, he's the richest man of the world.
Ohio, you're nice, but your cost of living is less than ours.
We're jealous.
It hurts.
It really just hurts when we.
about it is what happened. The money I'd have
if I didn't have the rent I have.
My God. We could move to Ohio and
like run the place. That's fine.
What? Not even Columbus?
No, not even Columbus.
Oh, man. But so
yeah, so, you know, Ryan
Philippe's like, yeah, a glog is
gone, good and good rents. And she's like,
oh, wow, do you think he's like, if there's
a will, we ain't in it, you know?
So she goes upstairs. Yep.
She got a perfect good wishbox up there, you know what I mean?
That was the, I mean, you don't even, the funny thing is, you don't even, I mean, like, you know, it's good to cash in on this.
All you didn't do is I wish I had a million dollars or I wish I was a billionaire.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, you're good for the rest of your life and three generations of your family out in Ohio.
Exactly.
But also, like, it shows you that it's a stupid kid, right?
They need, the smart kid would have done this first.
They would have saved it.
Always your first wish.
This is going to be your first one.
And, hey, if your dog dies because of that, you'll get over it.
I got to say.
buy a new dog.
The first time, right, you kind of get the sense.
Like, oh, it's an accident.
She didn't know what was going on.
She made that first wish and whatever.
But, like, I feel like that happens.
And then you're, like, you know, coupled with, oh, there's all these, like, Chinese characters on it that I need to get translated still.
I'm not wishing on anything until that translation comes over.
For sure.
But I would never get, I would never put it together that these are related things.
because there's no demon telling me
and then also like everyone
fucking dies. I know so many people who die.
That's true. They all, I've known
so many people who are now dead. It's insane.
I mean, yeah, I would get that
but I think I would pick up on it pretty
quickly because I'd be like, well, nothing good
happens to me normally. So this
has got to be something nice and new.
This has got to be a supernatural forces
involved with this, especially if you're Joey King.
Yeah. You've had a life of fucking nightmares.
You just fucking, this actually
something nice happening. I would be like,
something's up so she's like I wish
we got all of Uncle August
money you know what I mean you left us everything
and boom wouldn't you know it that's what
happens he changed his will
and she's got I want
Uncle August's like daughter to be like excuse
yes yes they're gonna show
fuck they're gonna show up and start
harassing them exactly the family's got
to be like excuse me
we're supposed to go to this cat
this beautiful cat
right here this tabby we're supposed to have
all that money mr.
wish-kish money you have.
How dare you? But it's weird. I mean, I guess it makes sense.
They don't sell the house. I just move into this
place where this dude died. I hope you
clean the tub goods. Seriously.
They are moving in, like, right
away or whatever, and I do love this great, like,
you know, she's so excited.
She sees what her dad is moving here,
and she's like, you're taking
the sacks with you? And I was
like, pardon me, what? Exactly.
Because this is the first
utterance of sacks. A phone?
Is that what you're telling me? At least.
at least at least in lost highways early on you know that he's a saxophone player but he's wailing
it on it like bill pullman here he really is they move into this nice ass glass house thing here
and get a little montage of her taking the friends out little shopping free like she's buying them
like eight eight hundred dollar purses i'm like i don't know about that no no no no no the
movies like this always have these like these songs where like four scenes like this for the scene
when she's at the party where like she's popular again
where it's like in this one it's like
we're spending money
we're spending money
and good point Chris the soundtrack
in this movie is abysmal
it's hard to take it's all just music from like 15 years ago
that sucked then and is worse now
well it sounds like actually when we watch it 902
and oh it sounds like the fake music they would play
in that and I'm like well just license
real music you know like but it's
relating more directly to like when she goes
to the I'm popular party
It's like, we're better than everyone.
Yes, we are.
Make a wish that music was good because of this universe, apparently.
No, no, there's no good.
I wish that all non-diagetic music around me sounded awesome.
Thank you.
Just a little bit.
Around here, we also start getting the stalker or someone in the bushes that she keeps seeing.
Like, she's sleeping, like what's going on here?
And it's funny because she had said that she wanted this Greg fellow to be maddeningly.
in love with you.
Couldn't just say,
Hey, I would like Paul to like me.
Yes, exactly.
I'd like Paul to get a big old boner for him.
No, I would like him to be obsessed with me.
Yeah.
Dangerously, if so.
That'd be great.
Like, whenever Paul sees me,
he gets a humongous chubby.
Not again!
Yes, and then he's got, like,
he's walking around the school with a huge heart on.
It's starting to hurt.
We have too many classes together.
Then maybe the demon misinterpretes and,
like, oh, chubby, and he just gets fat.
Oh, totally.
She walks by, he just blows up as a fat guy.
I was going to say, if that was happening
and every time you saw this girl,
which is multiple times a day,
you have the biggest hard on of your life,
maybe that just ends with suicide.
That's what you can't stop it.
At least going to a doctor.
This thing won't go down.
She's the last girl I would date.
Like, Christ, I don't want to see this girl ever again.
No.
So when we're doing the shopping montage or whatever,
we are seeing the repercussions of that
because this is Cheryl and Finn
is fucking around the garbage disposal.
Told you.
We sort of started talking about this.
And the movie does a fake out of like,
well,
we don't have the budget
to make a hand go in there
and blow up all over the place.
This and the Ryan Philippe car scene
are the most final.
Oh, actually,
no, the elevator is very final destination.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm not,
it's very,
it's all very funny.
Well, this is,
this is specifically final destination
because it's doing that fake out of like,
you see the hand.
There's like a camera.
I like water.
Yeah, water's going on precisely.
And then like she turns the stove off
and you're like,
Hugh, okay.
And her like hip is,
almost touching the switch
so like that's going on
and then uh-oh
her big long ponytail gets stuck in
and this garbage disposal
I guess has seen a couple of Liam Neeson movies
in his day because this garbage disposal
breaks this woman's neck
wouldn't it like just cut her hair off or something?
Yeah well I mean that's what I was saying
like this is from the plate
like maybe
Peter Lugar's has a fucking
garbage proposal like this
like this is industrial grade shit
and a lot of women died
using it. Probably did. Probably did Eric. And also
who you would have to, you had a psycho putting this in for you
who put the fucking lever right there for a push lever.
To be like a hair. Just a little hair trigger push button. By the way,
the most annoying part about that garbage disposal only takes cash.
Oh, Christ. Son of a bitch. I hear
I hear the mafia has something to do.
So yeah, Claire is like painting
in a room and the music goes off again
like right to be like I've killed
someone it's kind of great
because it takes so long to figure out that she's dead
yeah it does
because she's a shut-in and that's what happens
so like I think the next scene is
she finally goes to Ryan like hey I'm
curious what's going on with this thing
why do you think there's this a whole
like why do you think mom did it scene
we're talking about that for a little like you know
we do have one scene where he is I think it's
during the rich montage
where it's the first time you see Ryan
Philip you play the saxophone. It's right here, yes.
And, like, it's just Joey King in this
glass house. And, like, she just
like peers and is like, oh, my
God, my dad rules.
It's amazing. I am amazed.
Like, it's not as
bad. I'm not saying it's as bad.
But it is not that far. Having
Jazz Dad is not far off from having
dumpster daddy. Yeah. No, it's not.
It's really not. It's nearly as
bad, I would say. Hashtag
Jazz Daddy. That's not great. They not
that on your Instagram. They all think
It's lame.
Trust me.
Also, the only thing that this does, for me at least, is I was like, oh, no.
Because Barb is like, oh, my God.
That's a little weird.
Her faucet.
So hot.
The faucet is turned on.
And they fucking do a nice little camera.
The camera goes in on her.
So you're like, oh, fuck.
Ryan Philpay is going to fuck it.
Fuck Barb.
When that scene happens, I thought that that's what they are doing as well because it
kind of like comes in.
The camera comes in on her a little bit.
And the funny part about it is, yes, he's not going in the dumpster anymore.
But the big deal.
he shaves his like ratty beard
that he's got right but he's still
Ryan fucking Phil of the whole movie like I'm sorry
he's like a hot dad it was fine the whole time
exactly yeah there's no problem but watching
him just even solo playing the saxophone
this solo scene is funnier than when the girls are watching because
he I guess has been like playing around
in the house you know when you move into a new place
you got to figure out what all the switches do and whatnot
and he's like oh this button turns on
a spotlight in the living
he's perfectly lit playing the saxophone
and like why why does he
he do this more of like why he can just
like collect cans and shit during the day
and then go to a club at night. If you're a jazz musician
you're not working during the day. Exactly.
Your night starts at earliest
8 o'clock. Well but Eric you're not
understanding. The money solved
his problem. The money actually
made the ghost go away for a bit.
Yeah, exactly. Oh, I'm
a millionaire now. I'm not sorry about
my dead wife anymore. Excellent. I have
a house and I'm able to give my
I have a new car and I could give my kid a
fucking a gold card to go spend
at the fucking Galleria.
Fantastic.
One of my favorite exchanges
with her and Paul happens right here.
It's the next day at school.
And this is where he's like,
hey, I broke her with my girlfriend.
Would you like to go to Senior Scavenge Hunt with me?
And she's like, well,
I already have a team with my friends or whatever.
And he's like, well, we could still just go together.
And she's like, all right, I'll think about it.
The reason why I like it so much,
she is dressed like the fucking maid and clue.
I don't even know what this outfit is.
I don't know what this fucking shirt is at all.
It's ridiculous.
this black frilly thing
with white all over it. It's kind of tie on it. You know what I
mean? It's a bad shirt. You should wish for a better
shirt. It's a second grade B
tier Wednesday Adams gear. Yeah, I'm not
into it. Precisely. But this is what she goes
to Ryan like, yeah, maybe I should
wish it on this thing like fucking crazy.
Maybe I should figure out what it says.
You know, my cousin's a slut for wantons.
I'm okay.
Could you say that a different way? No, I can't.
Oh, okay.
Because she's like, oh, yeah, you know, you said there's a price, like, what's the price?
And yeah, you expect to be like maybe some money or, hey, why don't you buy a dirt?
She's a fucking slut for one.
I am too, by the way.
I love those.
She will take ancient Chinese text right into mouth.
She will do that.
She will do that tomorrow.
So they're driving to this girl's loft or whatever, and there's this awkward convo where he's like, now before we get there, I just want to clear the air on something.
When we were in the sixth grade, you fucking farted.
blamed it on me and everybody called me
McFarts for like seven years.
Mick Farts. Now I'm
going to be honest, when you farted
that one time, I did get a boner.
I did, when I heard it. That crossed
my wires for the rest of my life. I'm into some
weird stuff. I'm into some weird stuff. I'm just
getting out of the clouds now, man. I'm seeing the sunlight.
In fifth grade, I farted in a
girl's face. They're a gym class. Is that right?
Do you turn you on? No.
It just
And the problem is nobody called her?
No. Turn on her faucet. Everyone
did it. He started by saying. I started by
saying it was in the fifth grade
you fucking degenerate. They were
both the same age, it's okay. We're
just trying to get some answers. It was gym class
and it was, she had to like
hold my legs for sit-ups.
It was mid-sit-up
and it just, I fucking
tuned. She jumped back
like I shot her with a gun
and everyone. You may as well have.
Everyone turned and looked at me and it was just
wait a second. I thought you went to an all-boys
school. No, this is grade school.
Wow, this is where they got the idea to separate you.
Exactly.
We got to get that guy at a different school.
He's farting in that girl's face.
The Lord, yeah, let's get the Lord on this.
Was there a nickname that came after the fact?
No, it just got...
You ever talk to this girl again?
No, it just all got folded into everything else that were making fun of me about.
You know what I mean?
It was just sort of part of the rich tap.
What do you do now?
All right, maybe we'll get to it.
We should look her up on...
What is it called Picksbox or something?
Picks a lot or another fucking?
Yeah, we should look.
What's she up to these things?
Nobody called...
Nobody called me McFarty, unfortunately.
Oh, that's too bad.
Toots with a silent jay.
This just reminded me of something that I had nothing to do with.
That was just a terrified onlooker.
But we were having an assembly in grade school, probably like the fifth grade.
And it was all about, we was just like there to watch a fire safety video.
The fire department showed up to play a move.
Like dragged the TV card.
And I was like, why don't you tell me about the dangers of fucking fire and stop drop and roll?
So we're watching this video.
I'm just picturing them going.
to the place with the red the hit the reds have the sirens on to put on a movie hit the lights
of the cherries we got to get to the school assembly and so we're watching this video that's what
there's a fucking guy in a dalmatian suit telling me about stop drop and roll whatever's going on
and i'm kind of in the back of like the student circle here and all of a sudden i just see like
from the middle of the circle these kids just getting up like two by two like oh my god and like
it's getting wider like oh my god all these kids are getting up except for this one kid that's just
sitting there still still still watching
in the movie, you see. What happened
was, this kid pissed his pants.
And the piss pool
was growing because he kept
it was a fucking real dude. Was he hit the head?
Why did he get out? It was a scary video.
This kid was kind of a serial
peer, dude. There was
a sequel to this story that happened in the sixth
grade. But so in the
fifth grade, this is happening, and the piss pool, and
like this one kid, I guess, was
also like wrapped up in
watching this video, this one kid, and I'll never
forget this teacher, yelling at this kid.
Not yelling at the kid that was pissing or whatever.
Yelling at this other kid,
Jeffrey, there is a puddle there.
Oh, no.
It was brutal, dude.
This kid pissed the fire safety assembly.
It was wild.
Okay, what was his sixth grade?
Oh, the sequel was in the sixth grade,
so they opened up a new wing of the school, like, for a long time.
He christened it, didn't he.
Dude, he christened this music room like, you would not believe we're sitting there,
getting ready to sing whatever the fuck.
This kid just pissed again and just pissed.
Pissed all over this chair.
It got all over the new rug.
Serial pisser, dude.
Love that for him.
Serial pisser.
I think of it like some kid doing the caddys check.
Pissing!
But they go to Gina's apartment here.
Very cool loft.
She's got...
Hell yeah.
For a student.
I mean, she should cool it with the art, I would say.
I...
You deserve what you got.
The Chinese demon didn't have to do much.
The Chinese demon had to make you trip on your...
your fucking rug.
I guess that's,
he's like following Joey King
and he's like,
oh, this place is awesome.
Oh my God,
it's like a playground for me.
You know,
you could make it hard for me.
You know,
I get a lot of these.
This is pretty safe.
I mean,
I don't even think she cares
too much about this character,
but man,
am I coming back here?
You're telling me that door
goes to the roof
and you can just fall,
oh God,
I'm going to have a play date here.
He could be crippled by indecision.
There's so many ways to kill her.
So Gina does just say like,
oh,
you know,
I can read some of it, which is this grand seven wishes.
But there's something else here that I can't really get.
And also something, something, the legend of Lou May, which is this woman who had the box.
We read on Wikipedia, like bubonic plague.
She was.
Her family was all put in a train car and everybody was suffocated to death.
But her.
She just basically swore revenge on all the people.
And after revenge, she killed herself.
So there you go.
And the thing that Gina says is, oh, the other thing that I can't.
I mean, got all of, but it says, like, when you, when the music ends, something happens, is what she's saying.
And they also know that there is a demon involves, like, oh, it's a Chinese word for name, which I can't remember.
Right.
But so that's just like this, this story, which you have to imagine, if this movie were a success, there would be a prequel movie about Lou May and how the box was made and all that dog shit.
You would go full Annabelle the Conjuring.
You're getting that, that's what I'm saying.
You're getting that movie, but you're also getting
the rich house where they found the
when Ryan Philippe found it. That's also
getting a movie. Yep, yep. Elizabeth
Rome is getting a movie.
You can do a little Hellraiser 3. Like I am the
oh, I'm the English officer that found
the box after the event. Yep, yep, exactly.
All of this could have been possible if anyone
gave a shit about this movie. Maybe we're going to
sparking interest right now. It could be. All of a sudden, all
these folks are, you know, they want to watch the movie
before the episode. All of a sudden, Hulu's like, wow, what the
fuck's going on with the Wisherpon file?
Everybody's watching it.
Once everyone shares this episode with hashtag
Dumpster Daddy, they're going to
and that's trending worldwide.
They're going to be like, what is this about?
You would have to figure out who it is now
that actually owns this movie because...
It was Orion, right?
It's a weird Orion thing, but it was put out by
one of the fastest flame-out distributors
of all time, Broadgreen pictures.
Sounds like a fucking tax dot.
Broadgreen did like this movie.
The Terrence Malick movie about the music
festival. Song to song. Yeah,
I think they did that. Not a lot of
stuff. I got to say, when the broad green pictures logo
comes up at the beginning of this movie, I was like,
the fuck! Are you kidding me?
If they did those two, one good,
one bad. That's not bad. You know what?
But yeah. Fair, it's fair.
50%. But it's like 824.
So she is like,
hey, the weirdest line
of this movie is, it follows
up with my cousin's a slut
for wantons. She goes to
the kids like, hey, you know, we just
had our little exposition fest here she's like
and here's the wantons and she's like
oh good I need to be alone when I eat them
I don't like people watching me
house these things and I'm like
you are eating them right
he said slut and now you need to be alone
where are these going to go eating it downstairs
style like shoving it in there
reverse digestion
reverse digestion
you shit out of your mouth
sure yeah that's the
that's the natural conclusion to that
But I said she's a slut for him, didn't I?
Well, come on.
That's it.
No, I was being honest.
I didn't say she liked eating them.
I said she was slut for him.
Listen to me.
Jesus.
She tried to talk to people.
She lines up, they leave.
She has to message her friend to find out this secret meaning.
And we learned that Ryan has a crush on her.
She's like, oh, make your move, dude.
And he's like, I'm trying.
I'm trying.
Yes.
She also gets a response really quickly from.
Yes.
She emails some academic, this cousin, Gina.
about the translation she's like oh thank you for getting back to me so fast you sick son of a bitch
like she reads it and she's just like whoa that's messed up but like you don't you don't see
what the dude's email says or whatever man i have just a slut for translation oh boy oh man
i just fucking love sucking off translations it's so great and like so now fully with the knowledge
that there is only seven wishes and a demon is involved and this other lady died of the bubonic
plague and swore vengeance
and killed herself and all this cool stuff
she said man I wish I was popular
and it is like
way too late in the movie
like again like the money thing makes total sense
like you're a poor kid you want to fucking
lift your dad out of the garbage
you know I understand that
sure yeah but like the popular like
what a stupid
this is what I'm like I hope this girl gets it
yes she deserves it I mean the
popular in high school that's so brief
why would you wish for that
Well, because she doesn't know that at the time,
that's always the catch-22 with these kids.
She don't know.
Everyone that was popular in my high school are now,
dumpster daddy's themselves.
All of them?
Holy shit.
Upstate dumpster daddy.
Exactly.
Some fucking human wreckage.
So we do have,
we got to talk about the cousin's death scene here.
It happens while sexy saxophone dad is playing for an audience of three.
And then this is, yeah, Pam's getting all fucking hot over it.
Oh, no, that's right.
No, that's not even, which one's first?
Is it, I wish my dad wasn't embarrassing?
I think that's what it is.
Yes.
First is I wish my dad wasn't embarrassing, which is a dumb wish.
It's a dumb wish.
She makes that comment in the car while Ryan is driving her home.
Your dad is supposed to be embarrassing to you, by the way.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, that's just, that's the deal.
I wish my dad wasn't embarrassing.
Cut to him jazz soloing in the middle of his house with three guys I've never met before.
Arms turned on the faucet, if you know what I'm saying.
This is the most monkeys, Paul, wishing.
of the ball. It's like, oh, no, he's got more
into jazz.
You know, as someone who loves jazz,
and I love, you know,
hearing the music and, you know,
whatever, there is
nothing funnier to me than watching someone play a
saxophone. Of course, it is different than watching
someone play a trumpet. It is different than watching
someone play a trombone, a piano,
a drum kit, someone playing a saxophone, and I think it's because
of... It's sensual. It's sensual, but I feel
also it's a childhood of me watching
Lenny Pickett playing saxophone on the SNL band and like that dude has been going for it for like 35
years and that going for it with a saxophone and the bigger the saxophone the funnier it is
you got to move with it your back is getting into it holding this big fucking thing yeah exactly
dancing with C3PO over there I mean you kind of are lost boys obviously hilarious
saxophone national I mean honestly even lost highway it's kind of funny it is yeah the big man
for In Bruce Springsteen's band.
Oh, Clarence Clems, of course.
Yeah, that's, I always think of him.
It's kind of funny.
But, yeah, so he's blasting.
And this is when Barb is just like,
I want to fuck your dad.
Yes, that should happen, by the way.
And I guess this is her wish come true.
Like, awesome, my friend wants to fuck my dad.
Is that what you want?
It'd be cool if Barb ended up as her new mom.
That'd be fucking awesome.
That'd be really cool.
That's a real, I wish I could go back
and not make any of those wishes.
Now, okay, we're two.
We're two adults, and she loves dumpsters as much as I do.
But then so you have the payment here is Gina's face-fucking these wantons and walking around.
The lights go out in her apartment.
There is more Final Destination fake-out shit here because she gets locked out on a fire escape.
Yeah, she's really rickety.
It's a million feet up.
I mean, I don't know where she lives.
She lives like a 30-story fucking tower.
It's crazy.
But literally all the Chinese demon had to do was make the rickety sound.
And then she runs in and,
goes head first into a bull horn.
She's got a big ceramic statue of a bull with these huge antlers coming off.
She drops her phone first to amplify the rickiness.
And how high up she is, which is incredibly high.
It shatters the phone.
But yeah, she just face first right through this thing.
I really didn't have to do much.
I feel like I kind of wasted here.
I didn't even get there.
Oh, shit, I was on my way.
I had no, oh, she's dead?
She did what?
Oh, I was stuck in spirit traffic.
I mean, I guess that's the blood price paid.
Still, I didn't do anything.
I mean, I'll mark it down, but this is really disappointing.
I'm going to be honest, I would stop it for some wantons too.
It happens?
I'm a bit of a slut for wantons as well.
I have been for 700 years as an evil Chinese demon, you see.
Two piece in a pod, we are.
Oh, you're dead.
But the Ryan, you know, comes back or whatever and finds the Gina dead or whatever,
and he, you know, figures out what the professor had said,
which is that when the music ends,
a blood price is paid.
So this finally,
the audience has known
what's going on
for about 30 minutes
and the rest of the movie
catches us.
This is the moment
I am missing
a police.
Like even a detective monger
would be very helpful here.
Oh,
Munger from a once in a lifetime.
To just be like,
oh yeah,
she just tripped and fell on
her stupid bull thing.
Yeah, exactly.
Nothing happened here.
No crime.
Your big shaggy,
she's got a big shaggy carpet
that she trips out.
I would make sure not to fucking put
a whole wall of swords right in front of you
when you live next time.
But again,
when you live next time.
You know, when you get to hit
continue on the video game menu
and you try again. You know, I think that's what it is
the afterlife, right? You know? Yeah, just get to try
again. Start select. Reincarnation. Hit the buttons,
mash those buttons. So her dad is no longer
embarrassing, i.e., he shaved and is now in a jazz
quartet, which is fantastic.
16-year-old wants to have sex. Oh, that's right. I forget.
out when he's performing for all the girls
there's a whole band there. I forgot about that. Oh yeah. Yes, it's great.
They're in the living room just doing it and it's like
okay. Great acoustics in this huge house by the way. The dumpster daddy
trio. Carl should be there. Carl should be
like on drums and doing a stomp thing with some garbage cans.
No, you know what? I guess
I guess Carl's a real head. Like you know what I mean?
Oh, you're going back to the music, huh? Okay.
Yeah, exactly. I see how it is.
was born in the dumpster.
Oh, yeah, this fucking
tourist, he picks up a couple of fucking iron
rods thinks he's a dumpster diver, no
way. I'll show him. Yeah, I'll be
out here liberating stuff from the garbage men.
I live in a landfill, motherfucker.
But yeah, so this is, I wish I was popular out of nowhere.
It's just, I don't know where.
Because I guess, like, the other girls
are still mean to her, even though she's like dating Paul.
Yes, yeah, she's still not accepted.
She sits down, sits down
at the lunch table.
Just Paul's like sit with the popular kids.
And the popular kids revolt and leave.
And you know what?
If you're, I'm sorry.
If your friends acting weird because they have a Chinese wish box, that's fine.
Yes, you should be a little judgy there.
If your friend is just going over to the popular table for one meal, do not think that she is turning her back on you and stabbing you in the back.
She's trying to get some dick.
That's where the dick is.
It's at the popular table.
One time.
Just, you know, like, hey, that's funny.
huh. Do you like him? Oh, that's great. It's Wednesday.
This should be, you two should be, if you're friends, you should be saying, get it, girl.
That's what you should be saying. Precisely. Like, it's just, it's a, it's a dick that actually likes her.
Let her have this. Yeah. Suck it, fuck it. That's what I say.
So Paul's like, hey, party at Lucy's. You know, I'm picking you up right now. I'm outside.
So yes, they leave this. The fact that the popular kids leave and like, again, the death toll is counting up.
But she's like, yeah, I wish I was popular.
And it's like, Jesus fucking Christ, girl.
And then immediately she gets a text to party at Lucy's or whatever.
And then, right, yep.
This is the funniest thing because I've never seen anything like this happen at a high school party.
When like a well-regarded person walks into a round of applause, dude, they are going.
What, like the fucking queen came through.
That's the Chinese secret wish, man.
That's what happens.
It is just so hilarious that the whole.
house has to stop dead to give them a round
of applause for entering. And everybody loves
her now even the mean kids really
like her which okay great. Sure cool
shitty people like you now awesome
you did it you made it
oh maybe they won't run you over
now. Oh maybe
maybe. So he like
takes her off to the side and he's like come on
what do you think and she's like you know what I will go to the senior
scavenger hunt with you and then
like he stops and she's like
you know were you going to say something and he's
like I was just trying to think of something
dope to say before I kissed you
oh yeah yeah dude
and letters to Cleo starts playing
no it's way worse music
but they just start making out right there's
great at the big old party is the idea
and then yeah there's this oh she's
having a dream right here a couple of nightmare
sequences in this movie she has a dream
where it's her as a little girl
going back up to the attic to find the mother
but uh oh she is it's Joey King
hanging from the ceiling
and then I think at this point Ryan does
finally, I guess he takes a couple days to grieve
his cousin, finally confronts her in the hallway
and he's like, yo, that wishbox, there's
a blood price and she's like, blood price
and he's like, yeah, blood price.
Because he's got like a wall of research
out of nowhere, he's got a real, like,
I've been working on this case for a while.
And it's basically just like the photos
of people that have been killed, like including
the cousin, there's no like red string
attaching information. It's too bad. The picture
of the cousin, it just under it
has a piece of paper with writing
slut for want.
And an hour and four minutes into this 90-minute movie,
here comes a Jerry O'Connell cameo.
What?
I don't know what's going on with this.
It's like, a silent, because it's like we're telling the story of somebody else that had it.
You know what I mean?
And like his sad story.
Well, that could have been a prequel movie, show his thing.
I'd watch that.
I would watch it over this.
Hell yeah.
Like the opening of Bye Bye-bye Man.
Yes.
Better movie, by the way.
I guess it is.
It is.
Oh, the Bye-bye Man?
Yeah, it's a better movie.
And you know why I love this movie, and I love the bye-bye man?
Because what this movie ended, it was like, do you want to watch the bye-bye man?
I had to defuse the bomb to stop it from playing the bye-bye man.
And I was like, yes, I kind of do.
But so, yeah, just this weird Jerry O'Connell short story.
I don't know.
So he was just like a dude.
Was he in the military?
Yeah.
He was in the Navy or something.
And like he got his hands on the, or no, he was a scientist or something.
There was some Navy man that got it overseas.
He was the first one who got it from Lumet.
Right.
And then they got it.
from him. I think he's in his
house maybe. Yes. And it was just
left at the house and that's where Jerry O'Connell
got it. And he's like shaking and he's like
yikes. And you don't even really know what happens to him?
He burns in a house fire.
The house catches on fire. And it's fucking
weird because the photo that they have
is an actual
O'Connell Romaine family photo.
Really? Rema does show up in this movie technically.
This is in the picture. This is just a house
fire that they filmed he was in.
This is real life.
I mean, yes, you could use it.
it. I saw
a cool Jerry O'Connell thing. I follow him on
Instagram and I guess one of the kids had a
Sweet 16 party or an after
prom party or whatever it was. Jerry
O'Connell, they're being responsible parents
and he's like, oh, I was
going on, he's wearing a fucking black tank top that says security
on it and he was breathalizing
all the kids. I was like, well done, dude.
Well, geez, you shouldn't have gave him that much
beer to begin with. Just say,
Tripp McNeely would not
do this shit. But I commented on Instagram.
when I was like, Tripp McNeely, given breathlizers, man,
how time beautifully marches on.
Disgusting.
Terrible.
Somewhere around here, though, is where Claire briefly goes over to Mrs.
DeLuca's house.
Smells her rotting body.
What did you know it from outside?
I was like, they didn't find her yet?
We also don't see her call the police, which she should.
No, she just leaves, I guess.
Now that my fingerprints are here, I'll leave.
but she
goes back to school
we have the scenes of like
the friends are like
hey you're being a piece of shit
out of nowhere
you know all that stuff
you're letting people die
for your own material game
this seems like a bad thing
she does she like tells everything
that she suspects is going on right here
and they're like yeah and you didn't throw
that shit away that's really fucked up
and you're still wishing for popular
I'd be like for popularity
after you got the house
Why don't fucking chuck it?
Yeah.
And Barb has a line here where she's like,
so you know that's going on or whatever and you didn't throw it away.
Like, wouldn't that make you a bad person?
Yes.
And it's like,
this conversation is over.
Well,
this is the problem we're trying to find a solution to.
How am I not a monster?
Let's us all talk here about how I can keep wishing and not be a monster.
Well, the weird thing is there also, there's this rule about it is if she sells it or gets rid of it,
all the wishes revert to normal.
They're all undone.
which how does what would
what would that mean but I think
the depth like how you lose the house
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ryan Philippi
swears off the saxophone they move
back into the house the dogs a lot you know
all that stuff right would undo
but that
that doesn't happen she does try to get rid
of it right here and then
hilariously like she's walking out to like
throw it away or bury it or whatever she's
doing and she hears Ryan
Philippi playing the saxophone and she's like
nah never mind i'm not gonna throw it i would hate for him to stop playing saxophone exactly oh my god he's doing the
yeah it is it's the intro to rump shaker he hasn't done that on the saxophone since dad was his mom was alive
you know what the death count stands so now it's scavenger night scavenger night here we go i love
the friends are almost immediately killed by the burning pyre that falls down very final destination
right here. Because I don't think she's paid a
price for the popularity. No.
No. That's on Layaway.
This is the
And this is the weird
like, um, it's
super final destination to the max
and it's also like the Chinese demon
being like, hmm, which one do
I kill? Ryan Philippine changing
a flat tire on a dark road or
this other girl in the elevator.
These Tokyo drifters going by
him. Oh, right. They're going up and down
the road. Oh man.
Yeah. So like, it's like, it's like super
outbacks, too. It's not like some nice
fast-to-fast-to-ferior-car. Yeah, they're not
cool drift cars. They're just like
whatever suburb cars. He's a change
of the tire. They rush past him, almost gets him. And then he's
like, fiddling to get a wrench
underneath the car and you're like, oh, man,
is the car going to fall? Much like
Sherilyn Finn's hips almost
hitting the power switch, the garbage
disposal, his ass is almost
hitting this carjack. I'm like, move over.
Carjack is like barely
propped up. It's great.
Be aware of your surroundings when you're
Is it wobbling? Yeah, that's fine. I can still work on the car. It's all wobbling. Yeah, I can get under there.
And they're still, uh, they're doing a scavenger hug in some fancy building. Hotel, it's a hotel.
Hotel. They get the picture and then, uh-oh, Meredith or whatever is like, oh, my, remember when I was into that AR game at the beginning of the movie? Yeah, it's back now.
That's coming back. And Mad Cat Molly is upstairs. And if I get that demon, I'm a demon monster or whatever the fuck. Yeah. So she goes up this elevator, takes the picture.
in the elevator down
it doesn't work out.
No, this is good,
the elevator falls.
She gets a smushed, I guess,
sort of.
She gets impaled by some glass too.
Yeah, you get all fucked up
when the elevator falls, huh?
I'd like to see a little more of it
if this was an R-rated movie.
For sure.
You know, what are you going to do?
Also, the cool thing, too,
Philippi almost gets it
three times on the road.
It's the drift racing.
It's being under the car
trying to get the bolt
while the jack's going.
And then this other car,
the spare tire goes rolling
this other car hits it
it bounces just misses his head
and like goes off a tree
like ricochetes off a tree
dude after two I'm like I gotta get out of the road
I'm calling a fucking cab
how about step one Ryan Philpby
which you do not have going on in this scene
the hazard lights have to be on
yeah sure come on dude
just stay in the car for a little bit maybe
I love what actually gets them
I love that scene
it's fantastic you hire some guys
to trim a branch with a chainsaw
and then you have to stand right there and watch
him do it. Also, how cool is it that
he's almost run down on a dark road
much like I know what you did last summer?
Oh, right. That'll be nice. So he
so like she, her friend is
dead and she's very upset about this,
but not too upset. She was going to
be the monster master.
June is pissed off right here.
This is all you. Now the
wish box is missing and because it's missing
it's something, something.
Dad didn't pay taxes. We lost the
house. No, Uncle August. Oh, I see. Yeah, Uncle August, it turns out, didn't, uh, didn't pay the
taxes and now we're losing the house or whatever. And they get kicked out. Good thing you hung
onto this shack. Well, you couldn't sell this thing for a while. You got a fucking power wash this
fucker down. No, dude, you're like the Simpsons man. You're hammering up a fucking abandoned sign over
the front door. I mean, I'll take it off your hands for 500 bucks if you want to. Uh, and so
Ryan, this is the scene where we're going to.
Ryan tells the story about Jerry O'Connell
because the other detail here is
he's, the demon by the way is called
the Yagwai. And it's when
you have completed making your seven wishes
the Yagway claims your soul.
Don't feed him after midnight. No, no, no,
no, no. Don't leave that music box out in the rain
whatever you do.
Other music box are popping
out of it. That's right.
But so she's
at school and now she's not popular
anymore again, but now she doesn't have any
friends because one is dead and the other is mad at her.
pretty tough and she also finds out that
Paul has been the whole Paul stalking angle
kind of comes to nothing comes to nothing but he admits like
oh you're you're looking at all these pictures I took of you
you're even beautiful when you're asleep
and this is when you realize like that wish has now been
turning sour as well I would just but again like
you need a scene where he like tries to kill her or something
yes he has to kill him I love you so much you have to die
or like yeah they're making out it gets a little rough
like yeah just something that that's that's the progression of that
I like the death make-out idea
I didn't even consider that
You'll never survive the death make-out
I thought was going to happen in the car
When they're at the party
But that she's just
It's just like, ew, get away from me
Puck her up and die
We said that the box
Had gone missing which is actually not yet
Because there's this whole stuff of like
Her and Ryan try to burn it
And the fireplace doesn't burn
This is where he smashes it with the sledgehammer
It doesn't do anything
And they put it in her die hard vent
That she's got in the room here
or whatever. And then this is where that night she's
sleeping, Paul comes into the
fucking house. He's like, I can't believe
you broke up with me. And he slits
his wrists. Oh, okay. Yeah.
That counts. That's at
least that. There's at least that. Yeah, exactly.
Exactly. Um, but yeah, so the next
morning is when the box is gone or whatever. And then
this is, yeah, Uncle August didn't pay taxes.
All the shit starts coming undone. And she's like, why could this
possibly have been happening? It turns out Barb
stole the box at some point.
Yeah. It's okay.
And she's bringing it to school because she's got two young sisters and that's not going to fly.
I mean, you can bury it in your backyard or whatever.
I mean, it's really going to wish for a pony and then your grandmother's going to drop that.
You can't be fucking dealing with that shit.
Grandma's getting up there anyway.
You might as well have the pony, okay?
I had a pony.
Enjoy pony.
Thank my life for a pony.
It's fine.
And then we have a classic fight at the top of the stairs over the wish box.
It's where you want to be fighting every time you're doing.
the top of a fucking huge staircase.
And I'm sorry, Joey King is not getting any
fucking leverage on Bar.
Barb is chokeslamming this girl.
No way, dude.
Chokeslamming her straight to hell, definitely.
Gilbert Godfrey versus the Undertaker.
But yeah, she sends Barb right down
these fucking stairs.
Good fall. I like this fall.
Pretty solid fall.
I would like to see more falls.
And you think she's dead, but no,
she's just actually seriously injured.
Boom.
This is not even, this is even wish related.
This is just being an asshole.
And then, well,
This is where she, like, Claire is now, like, total, like, junk emoji.
Yeah, I swear I won't make any more wishes, man.
I just need it in my house.
Yeah.
Just don't look at me while I'm doing it.
Hey, just don't look at me.
Stop looking at me while I'm wishing.
She's like, well, I got seven.
I can do one more.
Let me do the big one now.
I'm going to be more popular than a president.
Yeah.
I would be school president.
It would be even more useless.
but no we also have been talking about multiverses with Ryan
like he's like oh you dig on multiverses
the funniest shit in the world
you dig on plot devices too sick
and so she's like I wish
that my mother never committed suicide
and it sort of just turns into this
the mother is home at a no
and this is like when this stuff happens in movies
it's so funny because it's like
she still has the memories of the horrible suicide
sure but now she's
just back, much like the end of that fucking
Jack Black Christmas movie
where the kid wishes, he writes
a letter to Santa that's basically like, I wish
my dead brother didn't die and
Spoilers for the Jack
Black Christmas movie, I don't know.
I believe I already spoiled this on an episode of Onscreen
Live at one point, but yeah, it's like
the kid is just magically alive at the end
of that movie. Yeah. Well, it's also
you had ghost babies here.
You do, oh, ew, yeah. All of a sudden it's like,
I didn't wish for these.
No, but you know what? Those would be
good experiments for future wishes
we could take those away. She's only got one
left after this, Eric. You don't got much to deal with.
It's like back to the future, you know, back to
the future, you know, fucking Biff is cleaned in your
car now, you know what I mean? Everything's all
as well. But in that situation,
the McFly
parents weren't shooting out a couple more
kids. It's true. Also, it would be, but
I mean, the way
this movie is directed and like
the way that the characters that aren't the main
characters act, it does kind of
key into this because you can't have the world
outside these people
come in because you would be like
oh hey your father's dating again
your mother
but didn't
wait
I swear to God
we're in a multiverse Chris
everything is different
I guarantee you if she looked at the fucking
newspaper Obama it's John McCain
is president
and Kang the Conqueror's showing up
and he's still Kang
and he's still Kang
Whoa. Maybe honestly
McCain made it. Maybe the world is a better
place now. Like I don't know about that. A little short term pain,
long term, whatever. I don't know. You never know.
I don't know. It's tough. It's tough to figure it out.
There's no going back anyways.
It's hard to, you know.
So, long story. She's so happy that her mother is alive.
She starts looking in the, her mom is a big painter apparently.
Yes, here's a bunch of like canvases I never mounted.
You know, just look at all this stuff. And she's going through and she sees one
of the box and then realizes
that fateful day all those years ago
the mother threw something out
that was wrapped in a paint canvas
or a drop cloth for painting or whatever
and meanwhile she's
hearing somebody doing some yard work out
she opens the window and I think it's Carl
actually it's Carl's it's Carl oh my god
it's Carl and Philippi up to their old tricks
again pro tip Carl when using a chainsaw
two hands yeah two hands with that chainsaw buddy
and also pro tip when watching your
friend, use a chainsaw?
How about a six feet? Let's do some social distance.
I guess he's trying to be holding the ladder, but this is such a short ladder.
I don't get this at all.
If Carl fell, it's like a three-foot fall.
Why are you bracing this ladder, Philippi?
Somebody like turns around, she yells or something.
Because she sees what's going on from upstairs.
She knows it's not going to be good.
And she runs out to try to stop it.
And she causes it in a way.
Yeah, she did.
She's, because she yells like, dad, dad, get away from there.
And he's turned like, what, honey?
And then Carl just drops this.
chainsaw on the back of his neck
it's great you don't see anything unfortunately
she gets a fucking money shot of blood
right she does which is good
you know what I want in that moment then I want the noise
of the dude you know what I mean of the head
rolling down the hole
yeah I'm not even sure if they cut off
the head it feels like they just cut like the back
oh yeah like it was slicing down the back
that's even worse I'm swinging
I know and I just I have to believe that his head
got cut off I have to look
there's nothing to this movie
I do it is a nice thought I don't don't
get me wrong. So she runs back upstairs and she's like, all right, like, you know. She's like
yelling at the wish box now. Yeah. She's yelling at this box. I know how to beat you. I know
how to beat you. I wish my dad's head got cut off instead of just graced. I want to go back right now.
I want to go back to everything before I made the way. Is this the last wish? Yeah. They said it takes
her soul after that. What are you doing? Well, she thinks if she goes back before it happens,
then, oh, I get seven more wishes. Fuck you, kid.
I mean, she learns that lesson.
Everybody who gets a Chinese box like this immediately thinks,
I'm the one who's going to beat the Chinese box.
My soul isn't going to be taken by this Chinese box.
Jerry O'Connell's character thought of it.
You know, the mother thought of it.
Exactly.
They all think they're going to beat it.
But the Chinese box wins every time.
So she wakes up.
The dog is there at the foot of the bed.
You know, we're still living in the shitty house,
but everything started back to, you know, the way that it's supposed to be.
And it's so sad because she's like,
Hey, dad, can I go garbage picking with you today?
He's like, well, sure, princess, you're my good luck charm.
Oh, you haven't asked to go dumpster diving in years.
That's so funny.
Mr. Luka, did you hear her she's going dumpster diving with me?
I haven't been this happy in years.
Yes, and Ms. DeLuca is back alive, for sure.
She goes, they go dumpster diving or whatever, and she sees like, oh, there's the rods that he found.
Yes.
So this is definitely the spot.
She searches around.
She finds the box.
She slides.
Riley puts it in her bag and she's like,
Dad, cool rods, right?
Cool rods.
I told you were my good luck charm.
Oh my God, iron rods.
We can do so much with this.
And I love that when she's saying goodbye now,
she's just like, well, have fun today.
Have fun today.
Like, because this is not a job.
No, certainly not a thing.
Don't cut yourself on rusty mattress springs or whatever you encounter.
And remember what we said,
no drinking until 1 p.m.
Yeah, that's right.
You're going to hear some crazy news later today.
And I want you to still not drink after you hear that.
Maybe someone's passed away.
I don't know who.
I'm confused by her end the game here.
So she goes to school.
She's got the wish box.
You know, Barb is there.
So is Meredith.
They're like, hey, hey, hey.
Everybody's alive.
She's so happy.
She's hugging them.
And she's like, I'm going to go up to Ryan and say, hey, Ryan, you bury this without looking at it for some reason.
Why not you, why doesn't, why doesn't she just be?
Exactly.
Because she's an, she's an, she's a box addict.
I said, she cannot do it herself.
I need you to pour the booze down the toilet.
You've never been addicted to Chinese boxes.
Oh, well, I've been addicted to box.
I'll tell you that.
Really?
I've lived with you for many years.
That's not the, uh, I've had some box.
Okay, that's changing it a little bit from an addict to a had some box.
Well, there's been the difference between being addicted to it and this.
successfully finding some fine box dining i found it and it got a dick did uh-huh uh so yeah
she apologizes for all the mcfart stuff you know and then it's like the you know maybe sometime i
can buy you dinner we can talk about multiverses you dig on multiverses again you dig on multiverses
you're gonna love the future kid yeah well she winds up she gives him a nice kiss and he's like
say yeah his friend almost wants to ruin his
don't say titpick
you got one line in this movie
and you already used it anyway
no tit pick talk fuck up I'm kissing her
and you know things are looking well
oh no I'll see you around
she says famous line before she's
meet Joe Black to the middle of this road
she gets punted by an escalated
oh there's a bounce oh my lord
there's a bounce and she lands on another car's windshield
oh boy and you know I mean she kind of gets her wish
because Darcy's life is ruined
Yeah, this girl's done.
This girl's done.
Because she just comes out of the car.
I didn't see her.
You don't know what happened.
Which is great.
And then this poor other bastard,
he's got this dead girl on his windshield.
This guy's just out calling the cops.
What about Ryan?
I just kissed a dead girl.
That's just going to fuck me up a little bit.
I kissed a dead girl and I liked it.
And that's it.
The movie, the camera goes right in her eyeball.
I think it's just something to show that her soul is gone.
Oh, pretty hard.
No, speaking of artistic, this stupid fucking post-credit, post-movie credit sequence of all.
Mid-cred.
It's just, no, like the all the credits themselves are fucking stupid.
Exactly.
It's all like stuff moving around.
You're showing everything.
Sit on fire.
Oh, my God.
The Chinese box takes revenge.
There's like all these like druid people running around doing things.
This was made by a graphics company that didn't know what the movie was.
Yes, exactly.
You know what I mean?
It was like they got a like a plot summary.
and they're like, make a fucking graphics thread
over all this. I wonder if they got
the early version of the script before the cuts
and they're like, oh, there's druids in this thing.
That's fucking, oh my God.
Chinese druids. Oh, my Jesus.
They're Chinese.
But this mid-credit
sequence is where
the flub comes because
here's Ryan. He's doing what she asked.
You know, and he's
like, curiosity gets the better of him, and he
opens the thing. And he
looks at it and he reads it and he just
goes seven wishes
the teacher at the beginning of the
movie said it was ancient Chinese and
no one could read it. This kid
just reads it clear and I was like how did you
mess that? They don't even say that Ryan is
prolific at this at all because he had
to go to his fucking cousin. Exactly. He didn't
know but he was like we can go to the cousin. Maybe
it's a multiverse. He is the cousin
in this oldtiver. Oh nice.
He's the slut.
In this world
he's the slut. And he knows ancient
Chinese and he's played by fucking Jim from the office ancient Chinese oh man but that is the end
of this movie will go around the horn here for some final thoughts Eric Siska it's it's not good
it's abysmal I really did not like watching this I mean there's a few funny moments but
yeah no Chris Gavin yeah a few funny moments a few okay desk but yeah not not worth much of your time
If you are a fan of taro or this, this is definitely of a kind of horror movie.
Yes, the film.
There's a lot of these where it's like, well, you have an old-fashioned game and it's going to kill you.
And I'm like, only like one or two of those have ever worked really well.
And I think it takes more effort than this movie is willing to put into it.
Yeah, no for me.
Steven.
God, I'm sitting around a bunch of fucking jerks.
I love this movie.
Wow.
Did you rate it on Letterbox?
I didn't yet.
I wish you didn't.
Oh, is that right?
No, it's, this movie is a tight 90.
It's super fun.
It's stupid.
The kills are actually good for a PG-13 movie.
It, uh, I wish, you know, I wish it was an Rated movie.
I wish the kills each got a little darker, a little more gory.
That would have made it actually kind of close to somewhere good.
That's two wishes, Steve.
I'd rather, I'd rather watch this movie than something like some 824 hooja fudge,
like fucking Heretic, honestly, where
it's like a half horror movie.
At least this knows what it is and is stupid
as fun. It's dumb as shit. Heretic
thinks it's smart and is dumb as shit. I'd rather
a movie that knows it's dumb as shit
through and through and we get some fucking beheadings
at least. So that's where I'm at. I agree
with you there, Steve, but I cannot get past
the editing for the PG-13
rating without the
home video option of the unrated
at this point. Because you're just watching
stuff being like, well, that's where that
was, the take went longer there.
the take went longer there
repeatedly, you know, and
like, and I'm sorry, like, it's
an abysmal cast. And if you
think about, like, even some of the
not great, uh, final destination
movies, there's dead-eyed
Canadians in there that are doing a way better job
than people in this movie. It's just, it's not
well directed. And it's a
fucking movie directed by a cinematographer. This
happens almost all the time.
Yeah. And it's just, it's not good.
Uh, the tight 90, I'll give it that.
I'll absolutely give it that. But also, Chris,
to what you said, I don't care
really for the movies where it's like, here's
an ancient fun thing and it's
going to kill you. You gotta have, you know, and you got
do more if you're going to do that. I needed to be a thing.
Yeah, and like, to the heretic
point, like, you're correct, that movie fucking sucks.
Yeah. But at least you have a Hugh Grant
performance. Oh, yeah. That is actually like
tailored and gets, get some attention there.
There's something to it rather than just like,
all right, Ryan Felipe.
I mean, that's the thing. I mean, that movie is
like going to a really fancy restaurant that gets
good reviews and you're like oh
I spent too much this wasn't very good
and this is fucking McDonald's
and it's exactly McDonald's I know exactly
what I'm getting it's not very good
you know you're gonna have diarrhea the next day
it's not good for me but I'm getting what I want
fair enough fair enough and I will say
it's the second worst final destination
because that fourth final destination
movie still sucks so hard that
this fucking you know
fake version of it is still better than
that movie I will give it that at least
But that is going to do it not only for this episode
and Wish Upon, but for the 2025
Listener Request Months. We thank all of
the listeners and the patrons for calling
in. Thank you, April. Thank you, April
for this one, yes, sending us off with a
horror movie, which is always nice to cover.
An actual horror movie, unlike Link,
which was just a monkey movie.
A horror or bull movie. What?
A horror or bull movie.
That's exactly right.
Yeah, so, but again,
all the letters, all the calls. It's awesome.
Every year, the number is larger.
for us to sift through.
Yeah, it's just really cool.
So thanks for everybody who participated.
We do have a few more Patreon things coming out.
I believe there's a nexus at the end of this week
that is still listener requested.
But if you miss stuff, go back through on Patreon,
patreon.com slash we ate movies
where you can get all of these WHMs ad-free,
but also stuff like the In the Line of Fire,
we love movies.
Absolutely.
Very well received.
We did an AD on what?
On Darya Depth Takes a Holiday,
which is a fun little episode there.
That's right.
Joey King should have been meeting some real-life leprechauns and qubits and whatnot in this movie.
Better movie.
We were talking about a real, real OG on Gleepe Glossary.
Malakili, the rancourt keeper, the big fatso that cries about the rancourt and Return of the Jedi.
We had a lot of fun talking about him.
Thank you to those who requested that.
Malakili.
That's probably my favorite one of my favorite gloop glossaries in a while.
Really?
Oh, wow.
I'm glad it did it for you.
Finally.
Oh, yeah.
Melrode 2&O was not listed requested, but it was Daddy War Crazy.
Listener request nothing.
Yes, it was a hell of the time.
Daddy Wars is continuing.
Love the Daddy Wars.
I hope it never ends, but I know it will.
And I think we are days away from the game commentary.
Are we not?
That's right.
Yes, our next Sinkable Commentary is coming out at the end of this week as well.
And that is all about all of us talking over, I should say, David Fincher is the game.
That was a lot of fun to revisit that.
The Michael Douglas impressions are there.
It's a really, really fun commentary.
So don't miss on that as well.
Miss out on that, I should say.
Patreon.com slash Wii A movies.
Now, next week we are back to programming that we have curated, Steve, and we're talking about,
I got to say, I'm pretty excited about the lineup for April, but what are we kicking things off with?
We are celebrating a legend that passed.
Don't look into how, but a legend that passed pretty recently.
I think there was a Chinese wishbox in this house.
The great Gene Hackwood we're celebrating here for the first week.
It's not a Hackman month, but.
The first week and the WLM will be hackman-centric.
And, of course, we're talking about Enemy of the State.
Long time coming.
Yes, absolutely.
WLM for me.
Look at that.
Hell yeah.
I love this movie.
So until next week with Enemy of the State.
I've been Andrew Jupin.
Stephen Seda.
Eric Sisker.
Chris Gavin.
Take it easy.
Thank you.
