Hello, I'm Andrew Jupin.
Steven Sadek.
Sean Winer.
And we hate movies.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to We Hate Movies. Thank you for tuning in. As always, welcome to the final week of our listener request month.
This is the final week, right? Yeah, we're done with this.
Yep. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, we're done. We're done with it. We're totally done with it. And to send us on our way was Bryce from Detroit who had this to say.
Hey, guys. This is Brice calling from Detroit, Michigan. I'm coming in just under the wire here.
but I really want to request a gem from 1993.
This travety, travesty goes by the name of Mrs. Doubtfire.
I'm kind of going up to some of a different direction
because this is kind of like a beloved movie,
but I think it's high time.
It had its cup up its on your show.
Plus, I think it's a good time to get, like,
Rob Williams on your show for the first time.
So, anyway, I hope you guys consider it.
I don't think I need any more reasons
as in, you know, Robbilliams being a lunatic.
Around children.
Anyway, thanks.
Love the show, guys.
Bye.
All right, Bryce.
We'll play your game.
1993's Mrs. Doubtfire directed by Chris Columbus.
I think we owed Detroit a little something after that Robocop remakes.
We were like, come on, yeah.
Is that a bad movie?
It's a bad movie.
I think it's a bad movie.
You saw it.
No, I didn't, but I just...
Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's a trailer.
My love for dread makes me want that movie.
to be good. Like it's this new
kind of smaller. Yeah, I want to be dread.
Well, my love for dread just
makes me want that dreads single. Yeah, more
dread. Just more dread. Don't
replace it with black armored
Robocop. Just give me more dread.
That's his SWAT mode.
Get the fuck out of it.
Is that his mood armor from after Earth?
Yes. When Robocop's horny, he turns
brown. And he's
always horny. This is
a nostalgia buster.
episode that we like to do every so often.
Oh, yeah. It's a real, it's a real,
open your eyes. Maybe.
I mean, I think it's going to be pretty divisive
out there because people love this movie.
I had this movie. I've watched this movie
a hundred and ninety one time. I own
the soundtrack score
CD to this movie.
Which was, which was nothing
but orchestrations and then
Papa's got a brand new bag.
Wait, they didn't have rights to all of the
other songs? Nope. It was just
a bunch of instrumental shit with
with titles like
getting on the trolley car
other things you do in
San Francisco I guess
I guess it's a good way to sneak
a fat white kid a copy of James Brown
I'm like hey
that was a famous thing with
soundtracks in the 90s
remember because you'd listen
and you hear all these great tunes
and you're like
I can't get them individually
I'm going to get them all on this mega mix
of aw soundtrack music
yeah you got shafted I also had the
soundtrack to the
J. Fox film Life with Mikey?
Wow. For no
fucking reason. There was nothing
on there. Why? Because I
liked the movie. I liked the movie. I like the soundtrack.
You want to give them your money in any way possible.
Just throw away my parents' money.
Any way I could.
We were teetering on a recession. I guess you were
doing the right thing.
We got that Clinton surplus like two years
later. It's all because of you
and your fucking soundtracks.
the economy. I want to thank all the
fat kids for buying soundtracks to
movie they like. Even if there weren't
any pop songs on them, you just bought the
instrumental tracks like a dumb ass.
We fooled you.
So,
Mrs. Doubtfire,
aka the most terrifying
film of all
time, man. I mean, you know, we don't
have to go into what this is. We all
know what Mrs. Doubtfire
is, but I think if you
haven't watched the movie in a while, or you
haven't seen that expertly made fake trailer turning it into the horror film that it is you might not
remember how just totally twisted this movie is and it's really twisted it's wrong and the movie
doesn't know that it's wrong the movie thinks it's really sweet and it's like this is what we have to
do in modern america when we get divorced how are we going to see our kids how our dad's going to see
our kids it's that way it's one of those movies that makes you reflect on the adults watching it
in the 90s should have known better like
As children, we were kind of young.
We were kind of like, oh, yeah, we're just dealing with it.
We accepted it because it was a silly world and this was a silly dad and everything would be fine.
But the adult should have been like, holy shit, this is not good.
Oh, guaranteed.
Guaranteed we rented this movie at my house and my dad walked in and was like,
what the fuck is this shit and just walked out because an adult can instantly perceive how insane and wrong this movie is.
And we're just like, yay, Robin Williams.
Well, this is after Aladdin, and we're all, all of us little kids are still high on the genie.
Buying that ticket, you know, just anything he wants to do, he's got the lifetime pass.
He's the one guy in Hollywood that's ever had that, like, he does decent imitations sometimes.
But he has his whole career.
People don't actually listen to his imitation, impersonations anymore.
They don't.
So he just rattle.
through them and people are like, he's a
maniac. Look at how many he can do. Just
let it go. Chris Columbus had three
cameras on him just in case they missed
one. Come on. But it's just like
if you really break down what's going
on, it's Middle Eastern
guy, Hispanic-sounding
dude, Mediterranean
cab driver, like rap
artist, quote unquote, and
then all the celebrities before
1975. And that's it.
Which is an amazing... He does a lot of Jewish.
Yeah, he loves it. He's good at Jewish.
In this movie, is he supposed to be Jewish?
If Harvey Firesteen's his brother, you can't.
But that's what's, I mean, this movie is so ridiculous.
Like, there's no way the two of them are brothers.
Like, how does Harvey Firestein have this insane New York?
Oh, my goodness, here it comes.
The New York accents.
And he's the one, he defies the rule.
Every working class character that you meet in this movie, the cop, the bus driver, they all talk with it.
New York accent as if
New York is just providing
the entire nation with the working
class like they do
just populating them. I imagine
if Robin Williams and Harvey Firesteen
or later are actual brothers in this movie
their parents had to be tribbles like
enormous trimmels. Just they were
born from a hairy womb
and just
they're the two hairiest actors in history
possibly. I think you might be right.
I guess there's an interesting
thing that Robin Williams had
a Harvey Firestein impression
in his act that
Harvey Firestein appreciated so like
when they were doing this movie or whatever
and he saw the casting call for like needs
whatever to play his brother
he was like oh my god like he asked
Robbie Williams for the role
that sounds about right but it's just like
what range by the way one person's walking around
talking like this and the other person
is just doing this
oh it's the Harvey Firestein
in this movie five firestein is
hands fucking down the best part of this movie
Is he, well, man, it's just a horrible generalization.
Is he the Martin Short of this Father of the Bride series?
You know, like you just sort of enjoy this wacky.
He's not nearly as wacky, though.
No, he's not.
Well, he's actually a pretty...
He's the straight man, which is what you need in this movie.
He is the straight man, though, when they portray gay people
and any time before the year 2000,
it's the gayest most flamboyant cartoon relationship.
It's 1993, so when he and his boyfriend are on screen,
fucking house has to burn down with all the flame like that's just what's going
because you you can't just have a dude who's like all right well me and my boyfriend
will make this latex mask and give you this old lady body suit and and have you go on
your way it's got to be like listen up everybody like just so the world fucking knows that
there's gay characters it's so obnoxious you can't let him have a job at the bank
he has to be Hollywood makeup oh yeah no he is the most sought after makeup artist
No bank teller, thank you anyway.
It's not even like Independence Day is when he's working at that cable station with Jeff
Goblin doing something.
Is he's a Joe Goldman's brother as well?
No, he's the boss.
He's just like the manager of the cable network.
I believe Harvey Firestein is Judd Hirsch's son over Jeff Goldberg.
Oh, yeah, that's a good call.
They're very similar facial features.
And you know, the weird thing about this movie is when we're talking about gay,
we're talking about gay stuff, sure.
is...
Hey, we're talking about gay stuff.
You guys talking about gay stuff?
Wait, is this a podcast
about gay stuff?
So you can turn it off
if you want to, I guess.
But this isn't that movie normal
where it's like, you know,
Tom Wilkinson is a trans woman
and the family has to deal with it
and it's all sorts of interesting questions.
No, this guy is a manipulative con artist
that wants to ruin Sally Field's life
and succeeds.
Oh, yeah.
And that's it.
This movie would be great if it was about,
Because at the beginning of the movie, you're kind of realizing, oh, when Robin Williams is a man and living in the world as a man, he's a horrible human being and a cancer on society.
But when he's an old lady, he actually finds himself and is happy.
Maybe this is about him becoming.
There's a joke where he's like, I want to be a woman.
Harvey Firestein's like, finally.
Oh, that's right.
And you're kind of like maybe there's a backstory there.
Maybe Harvey's been thinking about this.
Our parents, the Herculoids, will be so proud.
Exactly.
Oh, I'd love it.
That's the backstory you need.
Then Cousin It just shows up.
Oh, man.
See, that's what you need.
Mrs. Downfire Cross with the Adams family movie.
I'd watch it.
But yeah, you're right.
And it's trying to do that thing.
And it kind of does that a couple times in this movie, which is total bullshit.
Like, at the end, the judge has this little, like, super conservative speech.
about how, what lifestyle we should be promoting.
Yeah, no, fuck you this movie.
He's a con artist and a creep.
Yeah, all of a sudden, like, you use the word lifestyle,
like you're making it a gay thing.
And I'm sorry, Your Honor, but that's not what's going on here.
What you're dealing with is one of the greatest con artists
in the history of crime.
And there are children involved.
Three of them.
This dude is getting the chair.
If not the chair, listen, Alcatraz is right there.
Reopen it?
Yeah, re-opened the entire.
Island you have one in me
Well no it would be great for the tours that go through
I saw so I married an axe murderer
I know Phil Hartman's given that tour
And there's no criminals in the cells
Put Robin Williams in the cell
So it's like this is what it's like to live on the rock
It'd be great because then the movie The Rock would happen
And he would die from VX gas
Which is deserving
It's getting a little green jelly in here
Yeah well after gang boned by Sean Conner
you're a what
you're what
oh fuck
speaking of messages
in this movie
we open up with him
just ranting and raving
a big anti-smoking commercial
for what reason
he gets fired for hating smoking
in a cartoon
and he's doing like
a real cartoon
it looks like it was done
probably done by Chuck Jones
if I really had to guess
or someone copying Chuck Jones
because it's not a real
Looney Tunes
no no but it's like a fake
Looney Tunes thing and he's singing
fucking Figaro. Oh man.
And he's Mel Blank. He's doing all
the voices every last time. He's doing all the
voices at the same fucking time.
Really? It does not make any sense.
Is it live? Is he doing live cartoon?
It's very strenuous
on the animator's hands. Well that's
the other weird thing right is
you know you don't, that's not how you do
cartoon like you do the voices and they
animate around your inflections and things you
say and shit like that. So that's why
when he starts going off like he
singing Figuero. Figuero comes to an end
and, like, the cat is, like, lighting
up a cigarette and he's going to kill the bird
or whatever the fuck. The bird's getting a last cigarette,
like last ride. Oh, yeah, yeah. The bird wants to
enjoy the cigarette. He's about to
die. Let him enjoy a cigarette.
And then it's just Robin Williams, like,
oh, ha, smoking's really bad. Oh, oh, oh, I'd
rather get eaten by this, by this cat than get lung
cancer. And you're like, shut the fuck
up. How about that character?
Daniel, whatever you are.
This takes me back to Hillard,
I think. Oh, yeah, it's Hillard.
Yeah, Hillard, a nice Jewish name.
This takes me back to when I was a kid watching the movie.
I remember thinking that the opening of this film was phenomenal.
Oh, it's got a cartoon.
Because I didn't know I was going to get a cartoon.
Sure.
And I'm in cartoon town.
I just know that when the smoking thing came up, it was just like, I just tuned out and went to get like another bowl of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cereal.
So I was just like, oh, well, this is boring now.
Oh, he's not singing an opera as a bird anymore.
I guess I'll not pay attention.
Oh, what is it?
An anti-smoking thing?
Whatever.
But also, like, we were way on this.
That would never happen to kids' cartoon.
Like, it happened in the old Looney Tunes.
Like, they would smoke cigarettes all the time.
And, like, you know, if I could, you know, do lines or whatever else was going on.
Those are the early 80s, Looney Tunes.
It's a real mess of a time at Warner Brothers.
Daffy Duck would just not come to set.
But, no, we were into the smoking thing.
You could never get a cigarette past cartoons.
But, like, apparently in this world, you can.
all like these guys are smoking in the
in the recording booth
so many people are smoking
oh yeah he's like he's like
what do you guys think about my smoking riff
and they're just like three stone face smokers
like brer but it's also
like yeah you're right that's not how you do cartoons because it's like
all right we're going to do the line
get it get away from that cat
we'll do it 24 times and then we'll move on the next one
he's just doing it over the thing
like it's live it's bizarre
doing it live it's like a fucking orson
Wells radio broadcast
Right. It's like bringing in like, well, we're going to have Charlie Chaplin screening tonight, so we're going to bring in a pianist.
It's like, no, we're going to have this entire feature cartoon screening. Let's bring in Robin Williams.
Oh, man, you just gave me an idea of the most obnoxious thing you could do to people.
Play a Charlie Chaplin movie and then have Robin Williams just riff all of the dial.
Oh, my God. How horrible would that be? Who would show up for that?
Everybody, and then everybody would want refunds.
it's like an evening with robin williams well that sounds harmless enough so you quit your job right that's the first start at your day and then you want to further wedge a further wedge a wedge between your wife and your children because it's your little your little boy's boyfriend uh boyfriend not not yet uh it's your little boy's birthday he's just turned 12 played by matthew lawrence the older daughter is the older daughter an independence day randy quade's older daughter whoever
And then the youngest daughter is Mara Wilson from Matilda.
Something else.
Something else really big.
Keep wanting to say hook, but that ain't right.
That's that hook.
It's Matilda, this, maybe it'll come to us.
She's one of the precocious five-year-olds, like, a la Jerry McGuire, the human heads, weighs eight pounds.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jerry Lip-nicki, yeah, yeah, yeah, like, Jonathan who's now like this ripped bodybuilder
You would give us all nightmares.
I prefer Doey, Haley, Joel Osmitt.
That's the best thing of all time.
He's been getting a lot of credit on that IFC miniseries.
Oh, that one where it's like a fake Gone with the Wind or whatever.
Yeah, it's like a fake like family soap opera thing like they would air.
Like the thornbirds and shit like that.
He's supposed to be really funny on that show.
I haven't checked it out yet.
But so you quit your job putting your family in a financial bind.
now let's have the most inappropriate
birthday party in history
without the mother
like he doesn't even
he's not asking the mother
like when a kid's birthday comes up
I imagine and you're in a fucking
relationship with your wife
you're like okay what are we going to do
for the kid's birthday right
when are we going to do it
how are we going to do it
that's what we're going to do it
and it's like you wonder why you're getting
fucking divorced by the way
it's like she's clearly said
like I want to have
I'm going to get a cake
I'm going to get a present
and that's his birthday
and you have house of pain
in a petting zoo
well not House of Pain live
That would have been kind of cool
But you're blaring House of Pain
And there's a petting zoo
Like you're getting fucking divorced
If this is your track record
Let's just rewind to his son's
Reaction to the birthday party
He's like well I've got a little birthday surprise for you
And his son goes a stripper
He goes no
And then his son goes two strippers
Yeah that's right
It's like oh your sisters are right next to you
And then I don't remember what the line is
But Robin Williams has some kind of like
Something about like
Oh, not with the girls around or something like that.
And it's like, no, how about just a definitive, no 12-year-old?
You can't have a stripper for a birthday.
It's really important that we know that this kid's heterosexual, though.
This kid has all the right header.
To lay it in.
Gotta hit it right from the beginning.
Don't worry, this kid's going to be fine.
I got you a stripper, but I didn't get you a stripper, but I got you the next best thing.
Farm animals.
Like, who wants farm animals?
And is it like a last second farm animal ordering?
It seems like it must be.
The whole thing's supposed to be last second, because he was.
supposed to be voicing the second
and third act of that film
live. The rest of that
cartoon opera had to get
dumped. By the way
she was also in the miracle
on 43rd, a 34th Street remake.
That's the big one. And then
some dog shit thing called the Simple
Wish in 1997. That was sort of
about it. So Sally Field comes
home with probably a great cake and a really nice
present. A soccer cake. A soccer.
Sure. And of course
Robert Williams is wrapped
dancing on the fucking coffee
table and she's like... He is in a house
filled with children
and him and that, to me
there is not one chaperone
in that place. No, where did you
wrangle all these kids from? Like, did
you get kids off the street? Like, hey,
come on, you want to see some farm animals?
Come inside, you can pet my pony.
Did you cancel baseball practice
at the junior high?
Practice is now happening in Robin
Williams living room.
God. Ew.
It's really, it is.
No, it is like a, it's a situation where Robin Williams is having way too much fun with children.
Absolutely.
And it feels weird.
It is.
Well, it's developmentally weird because, like, you're not, you, everybody wants a fun dad that, like, really gets along with the kids, loves to play with them and blah, blah, blah.
But they have to also have an adult mode and be like, oh, but, like, I'm just really good with my own kids.
I'm not having fun with any old kid that comes around.
There's a difference there.
Like, I am really suspect of anybody who is just like, I just love children.
It's like, no, you can love your kids.
That's cool.
You can be good with children.
You know, you could be a teacher or a nurse or whatever.
Yeah, fine, you're good with children.
You don't get to love all children, Robin Williams.
No, it's true.
You think of, like, elementary school or substitutes that you had that you knew weren't good teachers.
Yeah.
Because they just want to hang out with you in class.
So you're like, that's fine with me as a child, but I know you're not doing a good job.
And I know that your bank account's in a mess right now.
Get it together, Mr. Wildley.
Wow, slow on Mr. Wildley out of nowhere.
He let us play two-hand touch in the classroom.
Yeah, that guy is not an educator.
So they, you know, Sally Field has to be the fucking police of this thing again.
And you know that this is the fourth conversation they've had about it this month, where she divorces him.
And she's like, look, you know, we've talked about this and talked about this.
I'm always the bad guy.
You fucking have a horse in my fucking house.
You quit your job.
That was a $100,000 assignment.
That was going to be next summer's big animated movie and now you're out.
Like, he just quit Aladdin.
Like, that's what just happened.
He quit Aladdin.
He was voicing every role in Aladdin.
And that's going to suck, yeah, for that production.
Like, holy shit, we need to get 12 actors now because we lost for all.
We also know that if Robin Williams had voiced off Aladdin, he would have hit Jafar out of the pot.
No, it would have been downright offensive.
It would have been so offensive.
Well, you know what?
It probably would have featured a little bit of his Gandhi accent, which we get earlier in the movie, where like the guy, it's back of the smoking thing.
When the dude is like, you know, save your Gandhi speech for another day and he's like, well, I hope I don't get to fire.
And then I'm like, shut the fuck up.
again listen to what you're doing it's fucking horribly racist by the end of the birthday party
the impersonation count is easily at 25 already i mean it's he meets with his kids who are
far too happy to see him after school i mean i've i came home after a year of not seeing my
parents and i was like hey you know they're like daddy yeah and then he nails each of them
with a different impersonation it's impossible to keep track their favorite impression
Sean. It's impossible
to keep track of the... Like, it's just
it's one sentence in one impression
and then the next sentence, it's a different
voice. And this happens through
almost the whole... Like, until he
becomes Mrs. Doubtfire and then finally it
fucking stops. Because he just
has to keep up the one voice. But before
that, it's like...
There's like 40 fucking people inside
that brain. We're going to get there to my
least favorite scene of the movie, which is exactly that.
And so they get
divorced and like, here's the thing.
Sally Field. I bet on you
go into the bedroom, lock the door,
get divorced. Don't do it in the living room with the
kids on the banister being like
oh shit. Oh man.
The same place we wait for Santa is
the place we also found out our parents
are getting divorced forever.
And he's like totally
shocked and is upset. Too shocked.
Way too shocked. Dude,
if you didn't see this coming, Robin Williams, I don't
I can't help you. You probably haven't had sex in months.
You've been fighting all the time.
He makes a couple.
crack about that in front of the fucking kids by the way i'm sure he does it's one of the times where she
like visits his bachelor apartment to pick the kids up and she says like something about the bedroom
and he's like oh not like there was anything going on in there and i'm like your kids are like six
feet away eating cold chinese food can you fucking take that out of the conversation please so
next scene is the custody hearing which happens really fast i guess that usually takes a couple
years but you know whatever uh it's a custody hearing and you know uh she gets sole custody with him
getting visitation rights because she has a job and isn't a fucking man child and that makes sense and
she has the house like hey the one thing is that the judge goes uh which would never have
he's like well usually these cases favor the mother greatly but in this case holy shit
I have seen some open and shut cases
In my storied 50-year career as a judge
But they're like, all right
For 90 days, you know, you have to get a job
You have to get an apartment
Like you're out on your ass
I mean, she was a sole breadwinner clearly
So you have to go find out how to be an adult
And then maybe you can split custody
That'd be nice
And the movie tries to sell that to us
As if it's like, oh, that's a lot
It's like, no, this is an adult male
Who's doing fine, white male
a living in one of the most expensive
cities in the world.
He can hold down a job.
And he's a voice actor, Sean.
That's not something you step into
accidentally.
You're right.
A cartoon voice actor.
Not like, if he was doing like shitty
regional commercials and he lost the gig,
I'm like, oh, that sucks.
This is a fucking Warner Brothers production.
It's a gold mine.
It's a, in our experience
in like entertainment stuff,
I've heard twice.
If you can do voice acting, do that.
Like, because you can do it
your pajamas, which is all
that Robin Williams wears.
And the funny thing is he apparently
doesn't have an agent. The next scene should
him go into Morty and being like, hey, Morty,
get me the next gig.
Morty played by Robin Williams.
Now we're getting into Eddie Murphy territory.
It's fucking thin
ice from there. You know what we're going into?
And maybe this is, what's his name? Well, I guess
there's a full house comparison because they pretty much
live in the same house as full house and the same
But Uncle Joey.
Dave Cooleyer.
In Dave Cooleyer's web series.
Oh, man.
Can't get arrested?
Can't get arrested.
He plays his own agent who is talking into a webcam that is made a fish eye lens so that his nose is ginormo.
It is so uncomfortable.
Maybe that joke flies in Canada, Dave Cooleyer.
There is an alternate universe.
Anti-Semitic Canada.
Like we know.
There's an alternate universe where Dave Kouye is Robin Williams.
And that just, it's a sad story.
I think that alternate universe is Canada.
It entirely might be.
Well, no.
I mean, the impression level, Dave Kulier doesn't hold the candle to Robin Williams.
No, he's not nearly a stop.
I don't know.
I think he might.
I think he just doesn't have the confidence.
He's not the beaver.
And Bill Murray.
Beaver.
I think he's got like a.
Bill Murray impression?
Always would do Bill Murray and Caddyshack.
Like, oh, he would do Carl Spackler.
Let me tell you something.
People who, independent of anything, do a Carl Spackler impression, it's kind of like a
Borat impression.
Yeah, it's a 40-year bore-out impression.
Yeah.
If you just hear someone like start mumbling like Bill Murray, you're like, put that in the
closet with the borat impression and lock the door.
The thing is, I don't, and I'm not.
We're throwing a lot of stones of Rob Williams here,
and a lot of them are deserving,
but he is a talented guy.
He's a super talented guy.
He is a talent, period.
Like, there's no, you know, it's irritating.
He needs a good script.
He needs a good director to say,
this is what I need you to do.
Like Aladdin, Aladdin, because it's animated,
the script is, like, really tight.
And he's a cartoon, so he doesn't have to look at him,
so that's great.
So there's a lot of good things about Aladdin.
The ridiculous things that he's saying
can take magical form to,
to further explain what the fuck he's doing.
If, for example, the genie decides that he's going to do an impression of all the Marks brothers at once, like he does in this movie, the genie can split into three genies and they can look like Groucho, Chico, and Harpo, and nobody's going to say any.
Visual justification helps Robin Williams.
It's like when he's doing the groucho, the cigar's up.
And what he's doing, what he's doing Chico, he's, oh, I'm a big Italian man.
and the cigars down. See, that's how you know
one human being has turned into another
human being. Well, this is the scene, my least favorite
scene in the movie, and this is the most
Chris Columbus, get three
cameras, whatever Robin does is gold.
He goes to social services because
he doesn't have an agent and has no leads
on jobs, even though he's a fucking
storied voice actor, apparently.
And, you know,
she's like, well, what are your skills? He's like, well, I do
voices, like, you do voices,
and it's 22 minutes of this one.
Ding, ding, ding, ding!
and we're off and it's just one after another and it's not and this is I hate this shit too
where it's clearly you've been riffing for so long and you're taking the highlights because
not one of them is there an impression and then he does another impression it's impression
cut jump cut next impression so you're all I was thinking about this entire time is the poor
crew all the crew the old woman who's playing the social services
The back of her head that they need for the shot.
Like everyone who's not Robin Williams, who had to put in the 17-hour day.
Because he's just going off, including the low light of that reel.
I also have a good impression of a hot dog, and he stiffens up and leans back in a chair and holds it.
You know why he holds it?
So he can rake in all the laughs.
It's obnoxious.
The whole thing's so obnoxious.
And all I can think about what I'm watching
It's like if ever there was a poster boy
For the opposite of cocaine
You know
Because it's like this guy is just running
He's just on like
Hyperdrive to the point where like
I think the majority of people who watch Robin Williams
Do a bunch of impressions
Are looking for two out of 20
Yeah they that's as I remember like
My dad would like walk through the room
To go get a book
book, he would hit his
bubby, Jewish bubby impression
halfway through my dad would go like, that's all I need.
It would get the fuck out of it.
Of course.

You know, my 20s, while being a lot
of fun, a lot of the time, were
pretty rough. I wasn't exactly
rolling a dough. I lived at home until I was
about 25, and for most of it, I didn't
have this show or you lovely people
in my life. I just kind of drifted
around without direction and didn't know where to voice that. Then I started to get my
crap together one piece at a time and the last piece, which didn't come until my early 30s,
was therapy. And man, I wish it came along sooner. Ever since I started sitting down with a licensed

And the problem with this movie, I don't think we've actually elucidated it, elucated it, is it's two hours and five minutes long.
Ooh, hours and five minutes.
You know what that is? Five minutes longer than fucking Star Wars.
A movie that has to create its own religion, its own galaxy, its own fucking science.
and it explained and eight to 12 speaking characters
and this is just a movie about fucking Robin Williams
and a dress and it's longer than Star Wars nuts
yeah totally nuts
Steve imagine this
Robin Williams voicing every character
in Star Wars oh a one man show
a one man show
off Broadway on Broadway
Madison Square Guard
it is it's it's this movie
Chris Columbus will
not pass up a good
montage scene. They're just one after the
other. There's like three or four of them here.
Yeah. You remove two of them. This movie
gets a lot closer to an
hour 40 minutes, which I'd give you. An hour
40, I'd give you. It's supposed to be an hour
and a half. You went over 10. Fine.
I don't have to pick up the kids yet.
Sure, yeah, exactly. Hey, I paid
you know, 35 bucks with the popcorn. It's
1995. You know what I mean? Like, it's a lot
of money. So I might as well get an hour and
40 out of it as opposed to 90.
And two five, I've got to change my
dinner plans. That sucks.
Got to change everything.
You got to change your
diaper.
If you're an old person,
you need to change your time.
Another thing that expands
this runtime, because it's not just the
riffing montages. It's the
montages of him just doing
stuff set to
songs that either feature words
lady, dude, man,
Papa, just
anything that denotes like
a gender assignment one way or another,
We're cramming that fucking song
And he's gonna walk down the street
As an old woman dressed to it
They make that like
You know they had a riff session
Where they're like, all right guys
It's gonna be tough
Let's think of any pop song
That's labeled a gender
Either way, I don't care
They made a huge list
And they said we gotta use all of them
Well that's that's every single one
I want them
And why couldn't you pay for those songs
To be on the fucking soundtrack I bought
I don't get it
Of you
After Christmas going up to your room and just slowly snapping the CD.
I mean, because I do remember, like, thinking, oh, wow, there's all these cool rock songs in this movie.
Like, they'll all be on one CD because you can't burn CDs yet.
How am I possibly going to get all these songs?
It was the only way.
The best way to get a series of great pop one-hit wonders or one-hit songs was the soundtrack.
Yep.
That's why that Romeo and Juliet soundtrack was massive.
Oh, yeah.
Same exact reason.
If we pay for all those songs, then the economic equation goes down the window.
Wait a minute, I think I figured it out.
Al, get your wife tipper on some sort of campaign to get all those parental advisory stickers stuck on them fuckers.
That'll be a real waste of time, but it'll probably create some jobs.
Sticker maker.
So he decides, so he's living in what we're told is a shitty apartment.
It's enormous.
It's in fucking San Francisco, like Sean said, the most expensive.
A corner window
I think it might be the whole floor
I can't confirm but there's at least one corner
There's definitely two bedrooms in this place
There's got to be at least two bedrooms in this place
And like the kids are there like
Ew dad's apartment's so shitty
It's like no it's just got a lot of boxes
Because your dad's a fat fucking slob
He used to clean up his apartment before his kids show up
But there and like Sally Field picks up the kids early
And she's like you know well we're getting a nanny
We have to get a nanny because you know I have to
You know I've always been working this long
and now you're not there out of work to watch them so right he's like well i'll do it like no
are you sure and this is what he consens her she's like oh i'm putting an ad in the paper he grabs
it and changes the number and then we get another montage of impressions where he's playing all
these women that are calling for the job and it's like he's intentionally making them shitty
you know like this one woman's like oh to your kids are they well behaved or do they need a good
shove or something like that just all these like horrible despicable people
And when this movie likes to pat itself on the back for gender issues, which it really kind of does a lot,
there's this line where Rob Williams calls up, he's like, I don't mess with the males because I used to be one.
And Sally Field goes, yikes, it hangs up the phone.
Congratulations.
Good one, Colombo.
You know, like, fuck you, dude.
So.
But his plan is immediately to be Mrs. Doubtfire.
It's not like, oh, maybe I could do.
No, no, there's no other options.
Like, I have to go.
And he goes, makes me a woman, another montage of different.
Masks. He's doing Barbara Streisand.
Oh my God, the Barbara Streisand.
Just to start
this montage, the thing that
drives me at, this is my least
favorite thing in this whole movie. The thing that
drives me nuts is that
he has established a British
accent on the phone
and named himself Mrs. Downfire
and we have to see it be a Latito
woman, be a Jewish
woman. Why? Why would
he try all these other looks?
He's already sold himself on the bar.
Dude, Harvey Firesteen and his husband are out $1,200 for this montage.
And three to four business days working on these things.
Damn it.
Like Harvey Firestein creates a pretty convincing Barbara out of Robin Williams.
It's just, it's nuts, and they sing Matchmaker, which is kind of hilarious because Harvey Feistine was famously Tevia for a while, won a Tony.
But that's one of those, like, he's got to just be like, okay.
wait, you told her that you
want to be an old British woman.
Why am I putting this Barbara
schnaz on you? We're wasting
so much time.
Well, it'll be funny. We can sing
something together. It's just been
like, the
driving creative force
in this whole film is just
him, like, riff it on impressions.
It's like just catch, throw a
lasso on that tornado, do, I don't
care how much it costs. It wouldn't surprise
me if, like, one of the seeds,
they turn the chair around
and he's a cling on and he's like
oh no this will never work
like that's that's
on par with this montage
it's just Robin Williams looking at the camera
and goes
oh no this can't work
that does bring up the great
limiter on Robin Williams
which is that he's not allowed to play
the ethnicities in that scene
because that would get inappropriate
well he does play he plays a Latino
woman and he does the whole thing which is
really gross and it's just like congratulations what's awesome too speaking of the voice of this english
woman of mrs doubtfire and this really has to rub rob robin williams raw man is like the first
time he meets pierce brosnin yeah and like pierce brosnin is irish but in this movie he's english
and almost always english yeah and he's like well he says in the movie he goes uh oh uh i clearly
am also from england mrs doubtfire what part of england are you from
And he's like, uh, here and there.
And it's awesome.
The part that's got to kill Robin Williams is having someone go, well, your accent seems a little off.
Can you imagine?
Like, hey, Robin Williams, your impression isn't that great.
Fucking smoke coming out of his ears.
I paid a lot for that.
His little ear smoke contraction.
Oh, he's got one.
What do you do?
I got to go to work tomorrow.
How would this sell you ever?
British grandmother.
You told me to do one thing,
and now we're just wasting time.
It cost me 55,000 dollars.
This Gremlin's mask
wasn't cheap.
Why did I make this?
I wish.
Hey, Harvey, can you get me
the job of the hot costume?
Why? Why would I get you
the job of the hot costume?
Oh, by the way.
Now I'm out of business.
Well, I had to miss two calls.
Two calls in a two days, so I got fired from the movie I was doing.
The sequel is actually Harvey Friarsie moving in with the family,
and it's the real acceptance of other lifestyles.
Yeah, exactly.
Finally.
At long last.
But so he goes up to, he shows up and wows Sally Field because he's Mrs. Doubtfire,
who's a very congenial old lady, and she's lying through her fucking British fake teeth, right?
And Sally Field doesn't, because she's been so, I guess,
besieged by child abuses
and transsexuals she just will take
anyone who comes to the door
I guess and she's not going to check
references and she's going to
pay this scene doesn't happen but it has
to because obviously Mrs. Doubtfire
doesn't have a fucking W-2 so she's
paying this woman in cash
$300 a week that would make me
a little suspicious of this old lady like
well why can't you know just give me
you know we'll set up direct deposit we'll do it
honestly in 1993 if I only
have to pay my nanny $300
dollars a week i'm not asking questions yeah no questions asked i guess oh the government i don't
have i don't have a visa dearie oh yeah you better be paying me under the table oh i told them i was
on vacation but i stayed i did uh so she's she's a wonder to the household of course it's
mary poppins without the fucking bag and here's the thing and this actually i read a little bit about
the book that this is based on. It's just hilarious
to say out loud.
In the book,
the older kids get it immediately. Like,
oh, that's dad in a dress for whatever.
The little girl doesn't get it because she's so young.
And that's kind of like what the crux of the book is,
which makes a lot more sense. It's either that
or if I'm this dad
and I'm trying to fucking screw over that
bitch mother that's always fucking tell me to do my
homework, I go to the kids and I'm like,
look, this is what I'm doing. Just be
cool with it. I know it's weird,
but this is what's happening because I respect
you guys and I just want to hang out with you guys
so I'm not going to pretend to be a woman all the time
I'm just going to show up as this woman to trick
your dumb mother and then we're going to hang out
as father and kids give your
kids the opportunity to say no dad that's
crazy don't
don't do that we don't want you to do
that don't manipulate your children
into thinking there's some woman
so messed up it's so bizarre
and that opening that meeting scene
where that son says to him
boy you're big Robin Williams you
could be a linebacker on the 49
Niners.
Talk about like,
you bullshit.
No fucking way.
Tiny little Robin Williams.
Shorter than Sally feels,
Robin Williams.
Yeah,
no,
Mrs.
Downfe has got some heels on.
And some shoulder pads,
I think, too.
Yeah,
he would be the real
mugsy bogs of the Niners.
And,
you know,
he's doing well,
and then the social worker shows up.
And this scene takes another 40 minutes
because we're doing like a closed-door
farce thing,
because, like, he shows up as Mrs. Doubtfire
and the social workers there.
She's like, I'm doing my, you know, my whatever visit.
Here's what you do.
You just keep walking in the street.
You're like, oh, that's a social worker.
I'm just going to keep on moving.
Guess who's not home today?
Robin Williams.
Mrs. Doubtfire's going on the town.
That's one.
I would much rather have that scene because all we have are the bad, mediocre,
and passable versions of the same scene replaying, right?
Like seven montages.
seven like running into the other room and changing my outfit
montages just endless it's so frustrating
so this woman shows up and it's it's it's a bad
fucking bosom buddies bit it is it really is
you know it's like oh he's in the other room let me go get him
change out of the fucking boob costume
the only point here I am my favorite part of this entire movie
are the fat Chinese kids laughing at them oh they're so great
they're hilarious they're just like
Just laugh at him.
Those are the characters I most identify with in this movie.
It's like, this is a mess.
They're just looking across the way going,
your life is a mess.
Well, what's great is like they see her from behind
and they're like, oh, a lady's changing and they're giggling.
And then he turns around and they see that it's Robin Williams
and they both throw up.
And he's like, hey, what the fuck are you looking at?
Also, if you're living this lifestyle,
close your fucking blind.
Oh, yeah.
You live in a lot of them.
in a locked down fort.
Nothing.
Nothing.
He doesn't even close the door when he's got the social worker at the other room.
And he's like, okay, social worker, talk to you in me.
Talk to me to me to Titi.
And he's like, hey, how you're doing?
Oh, she's outside.
Oh, ah, ho.
And like, he doesn't close the fucking.
Because, because, dude, he's already taken care of it.
Oh, I just got out of the shower.
Like, that's all you need is a quick got out of the shower gag.
It is fine that he changes back into Daniel Hillard.
goes out there. But when she says
I would like a nice English cup of tea
and he feels the need
to turn himself back into
doubt fire just to make
tea for a second. It's like, great.
She taught me how to do that. I'll go do that.
Yeah, exactly. I'm going to make you tea. Well, what about your
sister? Oh, she's dead.
She can't have it. She's dead. She's old.
She's soaking in the bathtub, whatever.
This is when his mask falls out the window
and you just know the next day Harvey fires
is, oh, I can't
fucking believe you ruined that.
mask. Oh yeah. This is a whole other year salary. I'm homeless starting tomorrow. I really, I know
you're going through tough times. I really didn't want to bring this up, but I'm down a couple of
jeans. So I start charging and the Vig starts tomorrow. The mask looks hilariously like a
Freddie Krueger man. It does. It's creepy as fuck. There's a scene like later in the movie where
he's in the bathroom at a restaurant and he's got the mask on but the wigs off it's terror town
it's totally terrible it's so scary it's so scary when he comes so he goes into the kitchen as
down far can't his mask is flattened by a flatbed truck of course it is hilariously and he does
the famous like dunking his head into the top of a cake so that looks like he's got a meringue beauty
mask on and then serves a tea to this
woman and I remember
as a child watching as like the
globs of frosting fell into the
company he's like oh a little cream in your
like doing the whole thing
yeah yeah I remember going like
mm-mm movie I don't buy that no
because she would be so grossed out she'd say
just no thank you I would have bought a
no thank you but I just remember
to be like no no bad writing
it's like they go to the exact
opposite of a no thank you
which is when Mrs. Doubtfire leaves
the room, this woman dabs a little
of her fucking face droppings
on her finger and then puts it on her
own face. You don't understand what's
like to lose your beauty.
I guess that. Is this lady's just willing to
try anything? Whatever it takes.
It's disgusting. It's
the scene from dead alive when the old
lady's face is falling into the scene.
They're just eating it. There's
two dead alive scenes in this movie. This is the
first. It's repulsive and everyone
thinks it's adorable. Now
a couple of montages later,
the kids find out how do the kids find out
because mrs doubtfire
is a first of all the scene starts with her
teaching this 13 year old girl how to read
like it's like it's like a spelling
thing she's like you know
eczema eX like why are you
spelling you're 14 years old what are you
I mean got left back a few times
what was awesome was you know I didn't see this
in a while and I put it on last night
and I was looking down at my phone
which I did a lot during this movie
sure you got a lot of time to do that and I hear like
the spelling lesson and yeah it's something like
kind of bigger word and I was like, why is he
teaching Mara Wilson like that kind of
bigger word? And then I look up and it's the teenage
daughter. I was like, no, Mrs. Downfire should be
teaching this girl how to prepare for her
road test. Not a spelling
B. And Mrs. DeFers, oh,
I've got to use the loo. And she goes
to the bathroom. And if I am pretending
to be a woman in front of my fucking
children, A, I'm locking the bathroom.
Short of that,
I'm squatting and pissing.
Sit on the toilet. And also,
what you're wearing
isn't even conducive to standing and pissing.
I want to see the physics
what the front looks like for this.
Because all you get is like Robin Williams
from behind and there's like a fake pee stream.
But like logistically, in the world of Mrs. Doubtfire,
you're pulling the fat suit up with the dress up
and you're trying to get your penis out
to go to the bathroom.
It would be so easier to sit down and pee.
And you know what's awesome?
Sitting down and pee it's great.
Finally, you have a way to do that
without feeling emasculated.
No, it's...
And you pass it up.
It's a lazy piss.
Everyone's done it from now and again.
It just happens.
Look, I say it all the time.
It's the Larry David thing,
but I totally subscribe to it.
If I'm up in the middle of the night,
I don't want to turn the bathroom light on
and blind myself.
I'm just going to sit down to use the bathroom.
And it's amazing.
And it's fine.
But, of course, you have to telegraph.
He's a man, so he's standing and being...
Taking a big grade A meat piss.
and Matthew Lawrence opens the door and sees his dad's dick coming out of a dress
and he has a freak out he has a weird thing where he's like call the police
which is a bit weird I don't know like what do you do a rester well what if it's like a robber
or something I think is like oh this dude is conning us what is awesome though is he definitely
sees his dad's dick and balls because when they like they all run back into the bedroom
where the spelling test is happening
and like he says to the
sister like you know like she's
a he or whatever and she goes
like what you saw him and he goes
I saw everything
this dude
traumatized
I would prefer for him
to walk into the bathroom and see his dad's
dick and just go
dad
oh my god
it's dad
oh my god Mrs. Downfire somehow
has dad's dick
oh wait
more plausible explanation
Mrs. Doudfire is dead
And he comes out and he kind of
Finally lets them in and like they're grossed out
But like immediately the daughter is like oh thank God
Like hey nope
I hated that bitch Mrs. Doughtfire
Now it's just dad
And then the boy it's kind of hilarious
I'm not gonna hug you which I totally agree with
It's ridiculous
It's because I don't know what's going on with dad right now
What's ridiculous is Robin Williams says something like
Oh I get it
a man thing. And the kid's like, yeah,
it's a man thing. Whatever you
say, crick. Call the cops.
No, now really
call the cops. Did you guys call the cops?
He stopped panicking. Now you can call
the cops. All right, dad. Yeah, let's sit down and watch
Dick Van Dykeye. Call the cop.
He's breaking his custody agreement. We've got
him on that alone.
So now the whole
thing is like, you got to keep it secret
from Mara Wilson because she's too little and it would
literally split her brain and
half. It would absolutely destroy
her. So meanwhile, we're like it's not to strike
this 12 year old or this 14 year old. Let's pretend
that's not half. They're both fully developed.
They're totally ruined forever. But so it's
like, all right, let's juggle all this. Keep it on the
down low. Because I also hate
your mom's new boyfriend,
Pierce Brosnan. Welcome to the movie.
The nicest, most put-together,
most handsome, caring man
in a movie I can
for as long as I can remember. He's a dream
He's a real put-together
piece of meat. He looks great.
He's a really nice guy.
The weird thing is the kids all fall for him immediately, which, you know, no one really likes mom's new boyfriend.
You know what I mean?
Right after a messy divorce.
You can like Mrs.
Dadfired.
Unless Mom's new boyfriend's Pierce Brosnan.
I guess that's true.
I don't know.
I'd turn pretty quickly.
Oh, yeah.
My mom brought home Pierce Prasden right after a divorce.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, it is an upgrade.
So you got Bond stories.
I've got plenty of bond stories.
And toys and sweet.
Like, oh, wow.
Listen, do you mind if we talk about Remington Steel just a little bit?
I don't mind at all.
All right.
This is pretty great.
There's a lot of British that this family is suddenly dealing with.
More than usual, I think.
It's a real British invasion of the San Francisco house.
Yeah, and I kind of, I mean, this comes to the pool scene, which is really famous, all over the trailer.
And, you know, Pierce Brosson lays out his motive.
which don't make a whole lot of sense.
And I'm,
I think Sally Field's an attractive woman.
Fucking,
this is 1993,
Pierce Brosnan.
Yeah,
this is prime cut Chuck.
This is prime cut Chuck.
He's a rich guy in this movie, too.
Like,
holy fuck,
is he fucking everything.
Right.
You want this to be believable.
Pierce Broson,
startup company,
might hit it big one day.
Yeah.
Meets up with Sally Fields,
gives it a go,
makes it big.
And it's like,
well,
now I've got Sally Fields.
But what they're doing,
in the movie, though, makes him even more
of a great guy because he's not some
like vanglorious pussy hound
lunatic. Or like he has been, but now he's not anymore.
What he's saying is like, like,
I used to date this woman when we were in college
and, you know, life got in the way
and what have you. Now I'm looking to settle down.
I'm looking to seek out like this woman
again that once held such a high
status in my heart. Like, oh,
he's such a good guy and Robin Williams
is a shit monster in this movie. It's like,
okay, I'm going to bring the kids out
to my country club because I'm super rich.
I want to see, I want everyone to see me in a bathing suit just so they know what's going on.
But again, it's, I mean, yeah, for the jokes, like, yes, of course.
So that's, that's great.
But, like, again, like, his motivation is, like, I just want the kids to come hang out at the pool.
Like, it'll be fine.
It'll be fun.
What a fun day.
He's not, like, showing his money off or anything.
And this is, oh, sorry.
Sorry, but do you think, I want to believe that he's so devastatingly attracted in this movie that we, anybody
watching the movie
has to still kind of like
make him a villain
because he's just too handsome
Right?
That's kind of what the gas.
You're like everything you're doing
Pierce Brasen is great.
You're perfect.
But I still hate you because you're so
fucking good.
Well that's kind of a way
the movie could go, right?
It's like all of a sudden
Mrs. Doubtfire opens the door
and Pierce Brasen's got his face
between some woman's legs and you're like
you're like, oh okay, he is a cheat and scumbag
after all. Like you would expect a movie like this
to
fall into that. It doesn't though. No, he just continues to be a great guy all the way up to and
including through the point when Robin Williams tries to murder him. And he's incredibly
tolerant of Mrs. Doubtfire as well, which is complete bullshit because she treats him like shit
through that this whole movie. Because at every turn, like, he's really creepily manipulating
Sally Field. Not only is he manipulating the kids and like really going around the custody
agreement. He's also
giving her bad advice
about like, oh, you know, and trying to find out why
they got divorced and like, oh my God, like
that guy, you know, and Pierce Bros has come around
throwing all of his money and like, you know, fucking
tight jeans and she's like, oh my
God, this guy's great, right? And he's like, no,
he looks like a blow, you know, and he's like really trying to do this.
Why bring Mrs. Doubtfire
to the pool? Why do I bring
my housekeeper old lady
to a pool? It makes no sense.
The thing they're doing is hanging out with the kids.
Yes. Because if it's like, oh, we're going to go to the
country club we want to have a nice
meal can you look after
no he's going to hang out with the kids
why do you need a chaperone it's a family
day you know what mrs doubtfire
you have the day off take the day
and there's something where robin william says
like oh what am i even doing here
and i'm like uh-huh exactly
right what are you doing here
aside from being a meddling creep
and there is a scene where he's like
drinking he's he gets drunk
a lot in this movie which he's a little weird
that's Mrs. Doubtfire's Achilles heel
is the booze.
Maybe, you know what, Mrs. Doudfire
hates smoking cigarettes, but she ain't got
no problems pounding back the bruise.
Listen, you put a flask
in that Tweety Bird's hand, I'm okay with it.
It's just a smoking that I don't like.
Anything but a cigarette.
And he's getting loaded, and of course,
we have to reinforce this guy is heterosexual.
And so this blonde, bodacious
bab shows up.
And, like, he tries to buy her a drink
as Mrs. Doutfire?
What are you after, man?
This is also, by the way,
one of,
an example I wanted to give
with the instances where he breaks character
in, like,
situations that could ruin him.
So, like, Pierce Brosnan comes up to the bar
and he has a chat with, like, a waiter,
it's another club member.
And they're like, oh, blah, blah, blah.
Oh, wow, she's got kids, huh?
That stinks.
He's like, no, they're really great kids.
I love them.
The little one's a sweetheart.
You know, this is really serious.
And he's like, oh, that's great,
Pierce Brosnan, have a nice day.
and then like
Robin Williams has like some
horse shit like
Well then he throws the lime at Pierce Brousen's head
Which is the drive by fruiting
The funniest fucking thing you ever saw
On a movie trailer ever in your life
If YouTube had existed
Oh yeah
That shit would have been everywhere
It would have been a meme
Drive by fruiting would have been a meme of some kind
So he does that
And then like he gives his big explanation
And Pierce Brousin walks away
And this buddy is still at the bar
Looking like what the fuck did you do that four old lady
and he's like, what are you looking at, pal?
And it's like, okay, that guy is going to be like,
hey, remember that old lady that threw that shit at you?
That's a man.
He totally, latex costume.
Yeah, he talked to me in a man's voice.
He's like preparing some my ties to bring over to them.
He's like, well, I'm going to add that to this interaction.
I have to tell him now.
I mean, not only did he assault my friend, he's also a man,
and like seems to be swindling this nice family out of money.
And you're a guest here.
Pierce Brosson has the membership to this country club, sir.
Man, I don't want to be selfish, but I think he kind of threatened me, too.
He's hitting on that lady.
He's hitting on my girlfriend.
That hitting on the girlfriend, it's a lot like that Christmas vacation, Chevy.
It feels like they kind of peter out towards the mid-90s where like every, like, even if they're happily married, every man has to have that like interaction with a bar fly or somebody, you know, trying to sell them something where they're like, you want to get your rocks off?
I'm not going to do it because you're going to turn me down,
but I'm totally...
Oh, no, because you're just flirting with babes.
It's the 90s, and it's all about...
Tuts, you know?
Because, I mean, like, that's that Christmas vacation scene,
that's this scene.
Like, there's another scene where he's on a bicycle
and he's like, hey, he almost falls off the bike
and kills his own child while dressed with a woman.
It's also like that creepy new...
I don't know, it's like a Mercedes commercial
where this woman comes into this guy's car,
and it's like, you're not my wife.
She's like, I know.
And it's like, Mercedes.
anyone will suck your dick
it's a very disturbing
does he say so does the guy
just go like it just cuts
it just cuts he's like you're not my wife
she's like
I know and they cut and it's really
it's open ended it's open end it's open
you choose your own adventure
you know how it ends a subplot to this movie
that's going to become important to the climax
is Rob Williams does get a job
at a TV station
like as a shipping clerk because again
he doesn't have an agent I guess like no
so who just I just want to ask
the guy who interviews him
and tells him how to do the shipping clerk job
what area in the country
does his accent place him as being
from? It's, it's, he, that guy
again was born in the Staten Island dump
like that's, you take the prince, you ship him.
You take another print, you ship him.
What do I do with the prince again?
Oh, you're a real fucking funny. You're a real
fucking funny guy. You're real
ball boss. Oh, it's real fucking funny.
I bet you got a bunch of little
little Eastern man voices too in there.
You're really fucking amazing.
My buddy, Ali, from the island.
He heard you say in that voice.
Well, unfortunately, I can't hire you because you're, as per union protocol, you're not from Brooklyn.
So you got to go.
What I don't understand about where he's working.
So it's like he works, it's a local television studio that's producing their own content,
that they're also then selling to other markets.
for syndication but robin william's job is is shipping like film prints of things and it's all
being made in this one house there's no big building like you're not taking like the negative and
going to a lab and having these prints made and then that lab is shipping shipplaces like
everything is happening in this little san francisco disney studio which makes no sense to me at all
but it's all happening right here so yeah he gets the job first he's shipping the prints but
he's quick to rise to the ranks due to all that talent he has.
And, I mean, look, I think we've all worked at creative industries that you're not
creative in.
Guess what you're not allowed to do is pitch ideas.
If you're working as a shipping clerk, you keep your head down.
Like, maybe you get your big chance at some point, but he's going on talking to anyone
who will listen.
He's bugging the CEO with like his voices and his ideas.
Nope, you don't do that.
That's a sure way to get fired.
And this is the movie way of people like getting a step up to is.
He's like openly talking shit about the show that he's watching being filmed,
which is an old man boringly talking about dinosaurs,
which is fine, yes, it's understandably boring.
And he's like, oh, geez, these kids are being put to sleep like these dinosaurs.
And this old man's just standing there like, yeah, that's funny.
Yeah, that's, say this guy's pretty funny.
And he's like, who's the moron that puts this stuff on the air?
And he's like, well, actually, that's me.
And they have this like little like, eh, eh, like elbow nudging conversation.
I'm like, no, like, you're fired.
This dude is a, is, he's a television magnate of some level, you know, so it's not the biggest
level, but it's a level.
He's higher up than Robin Williams.
He's Philip W. TV station.
I think that this is character named.
And so, like, they get to talking and, like, he's like, well, you know, I want to, I believe
in you.
Let's, let's have it.
Let's have a meeting.
And he's like, I want to give you a job.
Let's have a dinner meeting.
And this is the best news, Robin,
Williams has gotten, and maybe he could stop pretending to be a woman to make ends meet.
Question mark.
The dinner, the dinner meeting, by the way, is only prompted after the boss catches Robin Williams
after hours of the set of this dinosaur show, playing with all the toys, and just
rehiffing.
Oh, with the raptor rap.
Uh-huh.
Or, oh, no, no, then there's the T-Rex who's the king of the dinosaurs.
Fucking stab me in the heart this movie.
it's obnoxious just watching them go and this guy sees dollar signs i guess
boy this crazy person could earn me a lot of change and so like that's one side of it and then
the other side whoops sally field's birthday is also taking place and she and pierce bros
is taking everybody out to it nice dinner and she insists mrs doubtfire join them she insists
twist that on she's a part of this family oh yeah mrs doubt
fire, all the advice that you've given me over the last week.
All the dubious advice.
It seems like you have your own agenda, but I love you anyway.
All the stories you told me about having weird sex with your dead husband or whatever.
It's strange, man.
And you know, the weird thing is in Tootsie, this movie's kind of like the sausage parts of Tootsie.
You know what I mean?
It is the sausage parts of Tootsie.
This movie's like, yeah, Tutsi without the heart.
It is.
and there's always
there's all these scenes with
and I haven't seen in a while
so correct me if I'm wrong
but it's Dustin Hoffman and Bill Murray
and Bill Murray is like
wait why are you doing this
and Dustin Hoffman tells him why he's doing
it and it makes sense at every turn
and maybe it's a little dubious
but he doesn't
that's where Harvey Firestein has to be
he has to be well wait why
why are you going to this dinner
I spent
$200,000 dollars on this
why am I doing this
but it's even it goes back
even farther than this dinner plan, though.
Like, you need the conversation
between him and Harvey Firestein
where he's like, you want me to do what?
Well, that sounds like a terrible idea.
Like, there's no, like, he's instantly on board.
Like, we're going to play makeup because I'm a gay guy.
So, like, the movie totally disregards him
as any kind of voice of reason
because he's just this cartoonish gay man
who's going to put makeup on him. And that's it, but you're right.
He needs to be the guy who's like, okay,
I was against it before, but now.
Now, you are going way out of bounds.
You just cancel on this fucking dinner.
I've been reading a lot of Carl Young,
and I think what you're doing to these children might really be problematic.
But, yeah, it just doesn't end.
So now, obviously, they're both at the same restaurant.
And it's bosom buddies again, by the way.
It's bosom buddies, and it doesn't make any sense.
Because all he has to do is tell, as Mrs. Doubtfight,
oh, thank you so much, dearie, I can't.
You know, for any reason.
I got the wee case of the shits.
I haven't been able to get off the toilet.
And that's it.
Sorry, kids.
Mrs. Dalfire can't come to dinner.
Why?
She's got horrible diarrhea.
She's making mince meat pies, as she said.
Oh, just making a wee bit of mince meat pie in the loo.
I must have a bunch of red hearts last night.
I don't remember that many jalapidias.
I don't know what she's doing.
She said she's inventing haggis?
Ooh, turns out I am a wee bit lactose intolerant after all, dearie.
I'll have to see it your next birthday puppet.
That's all you need.
And then you go to the dinner.
Also, he's going kind of to, because at every turn he's trying to ruin Pierce Brosnan's life
because this piece of shit is treating his kids with respect.
Perfectly.
Yeah.
And ruin this relationship because, you know,
No one's allowed to fuck my wife, but no one.
Not even me, because I haven't been.
Because I don't do it, but I don't want that made.
There is totally some sexual sabotage in this movie because he's playing both sides
of this coin, by the way, because he tells, he tells Sally Field like, oh, when my
husband died, I never took up with another man again.
And, you know, like, she, he says to her, like, once the father of your child is out
of the picture, you're celibate, like, close that shit down.
And that's his advice to her.
And then to Sally, or to Pierce Brosnan, he's like, they're going out on a date.
And he's like, by the way, she's got crabs.
Oh, I forgot the crabs.
How would you know, Mrs. Doutfire?
Oh, I went in the bathroom, dearie.
And it looked like someone tipped over an ant farm on the toilet seat.
I just hope it's not the wee 13-year-old.
That's all I can see.
I hope it's Sally Field.
I really do.
I don't remember what the line is, but it's something like, oh, you better bring some shell crackers to dinner.
And he's like, what?
What did you say?
And she's like, well, you know, I'm saying she's got crabs.
And he's like, yeah, I fucking got it.
Better bring some melted butter.
And a bib with you, dearie.
Oh, she's got a wee tickle of the crabs.
so mrs downfires at this dinner she has no business being asked
she said you were from maryland
i didn't understand what she was getting i'm from british i don't understand
why she asked if i was feeling the pincers
oh mercy
yeah so she's at this dinner and of course like also not only are you
risking this risking jail by doing this you're also throwing out this great
opportunity. Like, there's no way that you can succeed with this businessman. You're going to keep
him waiting. You know what I mean? It doesn't make any sense. But he does. And he shows up his business
Doubtfire. And like, he's like, oh, I've got to go to the bathroom, Deity. And it goes to the
bathroom. And like, this is what he's doing like half doubtfire, which is disturbing. Half
doubtfire is the Freddie Kruger thing. It's terrifying. You know what it looks like? It looks like
in Robocop when he takes off his helmet. And it's just Peter Weller's face. It's like the rubber
Peter Weller face. And then all the mechanics behind him.
that's what it looks like
it's creepy as shit
and he goes out
and you know he's kind of doing
it's a bosom buddy's gag
it's three's company
he's coming out and he's having a drink
with this other guy
and he starts to get a little loaded
which is his Achilles heel as we know
that's what dauffire does
and he comes out
and this is the second dead alive scene
where he's not
he's a little too drunk to do his makeup
and stuff right
so his teeth fall out
into the fucking wine glass
um pierce brosons is just ready
to throw up all over her old
face. But again, because
he's the nicest dude ever, he's like,
all right, I will help you
fish your dentures out
of this glass of wine with my
spoon. Not even your spoon,
doubtfire, my fucking spoon.
And the two of them are like playing
tonsil hockey, literally, in this
glass of wine. And, you know, they order
food, and then she said, oh, back to the bathroom
and no one is getting the wiser. I mean,
I get it. It's an old lady, but
like she's gone for 20 minutes.
She might be dead on that toilet.
something's wrong and clearly like pierce broszen hates her guts so he not once is going to offer like you know hey should anybody check on mrs doubt fire but like the kid the older daughter who knows that it's dad should be like dad's up to something i don't know what's going on but sally field should be like hey kids you know hey oldest daughter why don't you go see what mrs doubtfire is doing in the bathroom make sure she's not getting sick right or whatever nothing they just all sit there like they're waiting for a bus the whole movie it's like when you know when the
When they know what's going on, right?
Why are they not in any way helping the situation?
They have nothing to do in this movie.
Right.
Because it would be nice if they help the situation.
Yeah.
Give them a reason for being there.
Sure would.
But that gets in the way of Robin Williams' riffing, Sean.
You can't allow that.
Oh, we had this whole subplot where, you know, the kids came in and really helped Mrs.
Doubtfire out of a jam here, but, you know, we thought it might prevent some of the
Robin Williamsing from happening in the scene.
So we just cut it all out.
They're just going to sit there like mummies.
So he comes back and he's got a little lipstick on his mouth that smells like perfume with the guy.
And he's like, oh, wait, what's going on?
And he's like, oh, I fucked a waitress in the bathroom.
Oh, yeah.
She left it on me or something like that.
And the guy loves it.
And what bothers me is, isn't this a guy who plays a toy store owner at Home Alone 2?
No, not that guy.
It's very close.
I just rewatch that terrible movie.
Okay, good.
That would have bothered me.
No, the old guy, he's the old guy from something, but it's not Duncan from Duncan's toy chest.
But it's close.
And, you know, he's just like, oh, that's great.
Hey, maybe she's got a friend.
And it's like, oh, no, he's a swinger.
I'm like, oh, my God, I thought I was here for a job interview.
Now I have to have fake group sex.
Well, I guess so.
And he keeps drinking.
That's show business.
Wait, you want to work nodded voiceover?
You want to work in real life acting?
That's show business.
That's just what you do, man.
You make the man in the suit happy
no matter what it takes.
And so he's going back and forth
and Pierce Broson, for some reason,
orders the jambalaya without any pepper
because he's allergic to pepper.
Now, here's something.
You don't order that.
If you are allergic to pepper,
you're like, oh, I'll take the grilled chicken
over the bed of greens.
Yeah, I'm sorry, if you're allergic
to cayenne pepper or black pepper,
whatever it is, you get the dullest thing on the menu.
You don't go to a restaurant.
Right. You don't say, like, I'll take the scallops, but can you just, I'm allergic to the shellfish?
Just make sure, yeah, you clean them really well because it could be really bad.
I mean, any shellfish, I'll take the scalps.
By the way, that old guy is the old projectionist and last action hero.
But ironically, this might be, or coincidentally, rather, this might be, this movie might be an unofficial sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire.
What?
Death to Smoochie, which is also Robin Williams being redonked.
on television and this old man
actor plays a network chairman
spoiler or Harvey Firesteins
in that movie too as a gangster
oh that's right he's kind of great in that movie
spurred by his brother
yeah I doubt on his luck
I was out of my luck
so I got it to the buff
now I'm gonna murder that piece of shit
brother of mine
that's kind of one of those movies I kind of like
I don't know why or I liked it when I watched it
I don't know it probably doesn't hold up it's one of those movies
that should work in theory but I think is terrible
That's fair
I'm not going to fight you on it
So he's like
Oh let's have group sex
Okay
And he's like running back and forth
And in the middle of it
He dressed up as Mrs. Doubtfire
And sees Pierce Braston's plate
And he knows
That he's allergic to pepper
Even though this idiot's ordering
Fucking jumbalaya
And he goes
Now he's like
He's like Judy Denton notes on a scandal
This like weird scheming old woman
That's like got her own ends
To pursue
So he's putting out of fuck
He's like putting on it
a cook's jacket and is putting
pepper all over his thing, thus
killing him. Yeah, he wants
murder. That's attempted murder. That's what
it is. I can't find one thing wrong with this
guy, so he's got to rub about.
That's it. The only thing left is to take
his life. I'm going to get this
job. It's going to be great. And then I want to kill this guy
and then I'm going to be head of the household again.
He's doing this whole plan while dressed as
face-only Mrs. Doubtfire masturbating
in the bathroom.
Too bad.
unlocked by the fucking star you're going to be a fucking star too bad for uh robin williams or for
mrs downfire that uh apparently pepper does not affect pierce brosden the only thing that affects him
is choking on a full jumbo shrimp they decide to eat like a duck he doesn't he doesn't have an
allergic reaction to the pepper he just chooses to swallow whole a jumbo shrimp because when
this thing pops back out after some expert heimel
maneuver from Mrs. Downfire.
It's just a whole shrimp.
It's a whole thing. It's a whole thing. I would eat that.
Like, way it pops out, I'm like, ooh.
That looks like pretty good shrimp. Oh, it's got pepperotic?
Excellent. I love that.
But also, yeah, you're right.
Well, like, he should, like, not only would he choke, like, because he forgot to chew his food,
but he would also go into anaphylactic shock or whatever.
You don't have to go to the hospital.
Yeah, you're not choking, like your throat's closing up.
Yeah, and it's it's doomsday.
Yeah, it's got nothing to do with the food blocking it.
It's, your throat says, no, uh, no more.
You're not squeezing all of that powder out of there.
And, yeah, so he...
Peanut allergies are not just hymulking a peanut out of somebody's throat.
Not how that works.
And, yeah, of course, it's the help is on the wee line that everybody loves.
So, okay, Mrs. Downfire, why are you sitting over in that part of the restaurant?
Oh, that's right.
Are you smooth talking that old man?
Well, we know why.
Well, no, she goes over, like, he's so drunk.
He goes to sit down at the other guy's thing, at the other.
other guy's table and the other guy's like the fuck is wrong with you oh my god why he dressed as
an old woman and he's like oh oh meet your new daytime tv host and it's like oh no it would be
great if he just like he said that and the guy just had a stone face and then rod was i don't know
what up to it's so fucking hard much better climax absolutely what's great though is his reaction is
not like get out of my face what are you even talking about how dare you
he just goes, host, as if he's still cool with this guy playing like a supporting character
on some sort of daytime programming?
You got to talk, we do it?
Host, oh, pump the gas, weirdo, or the breaks.
There's a whole moment, like, it's that moment where you see somebody who thinks like he's found, you know, someone, a diamond in the rough.
And it's like, all right, this kid's good, this kid's really good.
And they sits down as an old woman in front of you, it says, like, this is the idea.
And you're just like, maybe you're not that good.
Oh, this draft pick was a bus.
Yeah, exactly.
He's a total draft pick bust.
It's a real Michael Beasley.
You guys do a lot of sports jokes on this.
We do.
Every now of him, it's mainly me and Steve, but it's fine.
Yeah, Chris Cabin's out here to fucking pump the brakes on it.
So, yeah, he, whilst doing the he, he, his mask falls off.
His face falls up.
just rips off. And the little girl
is... Halfway, though. Halfway.
Yeah, oh, it's the word. It's not that it falls off
and you're like, oh, it's dad. It's like
it's dad's mouth and an old lady's eyes. Yeah, let me tell you,
if my false face has to come
off in front of my child who I've been pretending
to be this old English woman in front of for a month,
I want that face to come all the way off.
The whole thing. It's got to get ripped
from scalp to chin, just totally off.
It's a goddamn Terminator 2 rip.
That would be great if it ripped off and
turned out Robin Williams mask, like Harvey Firestein made it out of liquid metal, and it just glommed back into position perfectly.
Or if it tore off, he realized that below Daniel Hillard's face was a cyborg face.
This became bicentennial man.
It was by sentinel man the whole time.
The whole time.
I also directed by Chris Columbus.
And of course, the little girl is fucking terrified.
It's at that moment that that girl becomes both A, a sexual deviant, and B, a serial killer.
I don't blame her either one either one
Because she would have to be because at every turn
Anyone she meets for the rest of her life could be your father
Could be dad
He's just dad he's that good at impressions
And he's that good of a makeup artist
Oh man, he could be anyone
Here's what's awesome sequel for Mrs. Doubtfire
Robin Williams gets the chair
Okay
Out at Alcatraz and he's dead
He's known to be dead
They reopened Alcatraz just to just to fry this one weirdo
And then they close it back up
And then 10 years later, cut to the youngest daughter character.
She's at college.
All of a sudden, she starts seeing someone who looks like Mrs. Doubtfire.
And she starts getting freaked out because she's like, I know my father to be dead.
I watched him bird.
I watched him bird.
And it's just some dude.
Oh, hello there.
And she's losing her fucking mind.
She fuck some guy on the ultimate frisbee team.
And when she comes back to her dorm room, her, uh, Sandra, her roommate is like, do you fuck him?
And she just starts ripping that girl's face up.
Are you dead? Are you dead? Oh my God, he's everywhere. And of course, Mrs. Daffire in this sequel, played by Matthew Lawrence. Ooh, twist. Twist, right?
Sick twist. Because that's what men do, apparently. That's what he learned. It's like men have to dress his old lady to trick women into being, I don't even know. I don't know. I don't know. It's what you do?
Just filleting people's face off, making sure. It's so awesome. It's like part Norman Bates, part leather face. Like, it's great, man.
It's all terrifying.
All the heroes.
And this is a problem.
You cast Sally Field because she's a great actress.
And because she has to give him the she's all that speech.
And really fucking stick it in him.
And she does it.
She goes, what, what, what?
It's kind of a good, like, double take and like of disgust and rage.
And she's like, we're leaving.
We're leaving.
That's it.
And that's it.
That's it.
It's otherwise, no, I'll get through this.
You need the scene in the parking lot of the restaurant where they're screaming, yeah, flipping out and rightfully so flipping out.
The kids should be flipping out.
Pierce Broson's just throwing up over by his Mercedes.
You know, Mara Wilson is just crying.
Oh, yeah.
Just shaking uncontrollably and crying.
Instead, we just cut to the courtroom and what a shock.
He loses custody at all for like a year.
Like, he's got to be evaluated again.
He gives this weird speech where he's like, oh, you know.
I plead insanity.
I'm just crazy about my kids.
You can stop there, sir.
Exactly.
We'll take that as your defense.
Yeah.
Book it.
He's like, I'm just, you know what, Your Honor?
I'm just addicted.
I'm addicted to my kids.
Okay, please stop talking.
I just love my kids so much.
I'm going to have to extend this.
I can't be away from them more than five minutes.
It's two years now, sir.
I'll go absolutely kill crazy.
Bayliff, can we take him away?
Take him down, bailiff.
Robert Williams then takes the court.
officer's gun and blows his own
brains out. I kind
of wish Harris Eulen was the judge.
Like, quiet.
Burned at the
stake! The judge
does do some like
this kind of lifestyle.
Oh, yeah. He pulls the old lifestyle.
It's so unearned because the movie
is not about gender identity.
The movie's about being a sick,
demented con artist that doesn't
believe in the judicial system, apparently.
And yeah, that's
And so that happens, and now everyone's sad.
Like, they're interviewing a new nanny who's a total bitch.
She's the worst.
Well, not for nothing.
This nanny is not fit to be a nanny.
It's the old gag of like, I don't do windows, I don't clean tubs, I don't sweep floors, I don't raise kids.
And I'm like, what the fuck good are you?
Why are you here at you?
You are interviewing for a job where it's a priority that you do all of these things.
So maybe you should think of another line of work.
Not being a nanny.
now the kids have to shuck their own corn
at dinner
it's just a real
what a life
and you know
they're all like
everyone's sad
everyone's sad in the house
and not because
that they've been played
for fools by their father
no that's all in the past
that's all the bad
they're just
I miss Mrs. Doubtfire
it's like I miss her stories
I have a full conversation
about missing this fictional woman
I miss the way she used the bathroom
I miss the way she almost
killed Pierce Brasden.
Who's out of this movie?
We don't know if they're still seeing each other.
It seems like they're not.
I imagine Pierce Brosson says,
Oh, good day, madam.
I'll see you later.
It's because of this whole thing
that Pierce Brosnan goes back to his wild pussy hound ways.
Or he's dead.
Or he does maybe die in the parking lot
because the pepper is just so far down his throat.
Deleted scene, Mrs. Downfire
gives the eulogy of Pierce Brousin's funeral
on a nice San Francisco Hillside.
I miss Miss Stapfire
I miss the will we won't
We talk to her about her raging alcohol
I miss the way
She could really just put it away
I miss paying
I miss paying my ex-husband
For watching our children when I demanded
He didn't
That's fucking fraud dude
You accepted money as somebody else
For services you shouldn't have been providing
Also attempted murder
I don't know what to tell you your honor
I plead and say
I'm just obsessed with putting cayenne pepper on things
I'm just crazy in love
When I was dusting that shrimp with cayenne
That jambalai with cayenne pepper
I was dusting my children with love
This should end in Arkham
It's like you go
It's the fucking
Robin Williams would finally get to play the riddler
It's the long pan
And you got Two-Face flipping a coin
Poison Ivy's like
Tending her plan
The jokers play in solitaire
And Mrs. Stout fun
Is having tea with a penguin.
Exactly.
That's the end of this movie that I want.
That's really the end.
But no, everyone missed her.
And then they hear the voice in the other room.
And this is what I expect.
It's like, oh, hello, Deity.
And everyone's like, you don't think.
Run for the window.
Yeah, exactly.
She's naked in the house.
Oh, hello.
It's all time, no.
She's just like lightly grazing a knife along the wall as she walks through the house.
Let's all take our faces off, Deity.
But it's Mrs. Doubtfire on the television.
And, you know, she's got her show and it's like really sweet.
And like it's Mrs. Doubtfire is afternoon.
And like it's an old lady's house and she's got a fucking monkey.
And it's great.
A little puppet monkey dressed up at Sherlock Holmes.
A monkey puppet who is kind of racist also.
A monkey puppet who I believe.
Robin Williams is doing the voice of in a ventriloquist.
I'm just that talented.
Yeah, I think it's either, because you see the puppeteer, he like gives the puppeteer a high five when they call cut.
But I think it's like, it's supposed to be this puppeteer, but it's clearly just Robin Williams doing the voice of Kovacs, the monkey, who she says, like, next week we're going to learn all about England.
Do you know anything about England?
You know, what language do they speak?
And the monkey says, Pakistani.
Say Quebec's in many stores they do
Because sure, yeah, yeah, that's really hilarious
It's 1993, you know, we can still make those jokes
I guess
It's a Pakistani joke
It's horrible, it's so horrible
And it's the biggest thing in the world
Because everyone wants to watch their kids
Watch a man dressed up like a woman in 1993
Question mark, not really at all
I guess the Fox News Network didn't exist then
That might be true, yeah
So there was a little bit of a lull there
I wouldn't have let myself watch this show.
Well, it's creepy as fuck because it's a scary mask that she wears.
Let's not miss words here.
It's scary.
And, you know, Sally Field shows up afterwards and, like, the TV manager's like,
we're a big hit.
We're going to be in Seattle, San Francisco.
You know, Los Angeles, New York, it's everywhere.
You're big, baby, you know.
And, you know, then Sally Field drops in while they're taping.
They have another bullshit blowout where everything gets thrown on her again.
It does. She's like, you let them talk to me like that, that courtroom. How dare you?
And I have people, I have supervised visits like a pervert. Like, of course you do. Because you are. You are one.
You dressed up as another person and we're creating this whole fake life. You might as well be a pervert.
Talking to her about sex stories and whatnot. You're a pervert.
I don't, nobody knows where it begins or ends, Robin Williams. So I'm sorry, for a little while you're going to have supervised visits with your kids, which you should be totally extricated from.
And because he chews her out on this sound stage of this children's show, the end of this movie is, well, I guess I am dog shit, says Sally Field to herself, and allows Robin Williams to be their babysitter.
And that's the end of the movie.
As man, Robin Williams.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
The door opens again.
They mimic the same shot as when we're introduced to Mrs. Doubtfire.
And you think it's going to happen again, but it's just Robin Williams in his costume from fucking Jack.
Because he just dresses like a fucking little boy when he's not.
the sequel to this movie.
See, we're trying to figure it out.
And all the kids are like
kind of mildly disappointed.
Because they just want, they're like
Doubtfire back. Oh, well, Dad, that's all right.
I mean,
now here's the question. He does a lot more impressions when he's dad.
Are they, are they asking
him to be Mrs. Doubtfire when he's just
around his apartment? Oh, probably. That's really
creepy, huh? Yeah. Listen, you know what, Dad?
I don't want to see your face right now. I'm really mad at you.
You better go just go full doubtfire
and we'll talk about this tomorrow. Can we talk to
Mrs. Doubtfire?
We'd like to talk to Mrs. Doubtfire, please.
So, Mrs. Dowfire, my daddy's having some problems.
So, listen, Dad, you might not think it's a good idea for me to go on birth control,
but I was talking about it with Mrs. Doubtfire, and she thinks it's a stupendous idea.
Oh, you were?
Oh, well, I'll have to talk to her about this.
And then he just goes in the room and yells at himself.
Leave me alone, Mrs. Doubtfire.
Why are you always nag, nag, nag, nag, dad.
Oh, you're the fuck up you are.
You'll never be a real man with that little Willie of yours.
Shut up, you old fat bitch!
And he's just going back and forth.
Oh, well, I guess you did say you could go out of Brickett.
Would anybody recommend this movie?
No, because it's longer than Star Wars.
Let's not forget that.
And it's like kind of longer than most Batman movies that I've seen.
It's longer than those pre-Nolan Batman movies that I've seen.
Batman movies. And I mean, it's Robin Williams. And it's really tough because he's Robin Williams and he's talented. But he does some of the worst shit anyone could ever do because most of his starring vehicles just let him go. I actually think he's pretty good and Goodwill Hunting. I know people with the rocks me about it. I think it's a good movie. I think he's good in. I think he's great in it. It's a performance where he's rained in because Gus Van Sant's like, you know what? Tone it the fuck down. You got your drama beard on?
Exactly. Drama beard, Robin Williams. I can watch. I'm fine with it.
I think, yeah, I mean, it's what?
It's Mary Poppins meets Tutsi meets Gus Van Zan Psycho.
Not Alfred Hitchcock, Gus Van Sancho.
But you know what I would say?
You've all seen this movie.
So we don't even need to say this to you.
What I would highly recommend is that you don't go back and watch it again.
Just let it be maybe, like, good.
Kind of the same way you think about liar, liar.
Like, just let it maybe have been really good.
Yeah.
Neither one of them are.
Keep it in that liar, liar, liar, boss.
You're right.
You don't need adult confirmation on this one.
Whatever you thought it was in the early 90s, that's what it is still.
Don't worry about it.
Yeah, total not recommend.
It's worthless.
Do not go check this movie out.
Go watch Tootsie, if you haven't seen that.
That's a good movie.
It is a good movie.
Where the main character who's doing the exact same thing isn't doing it for morally reprehensible reason.
Agreed?
Oh, I agree.
Agreed. 100%.
I nodded my head for no good reason.
That's not helpful.
That's Mrs. Doubtfire from 1993,
directed by Chris Columbus.
