Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:56 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.
Starting point is 00:01:18 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.
Starting point is 00:01:32 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.
Starting point is 00:01:48 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
Starting point is 00:02:04 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
Starting point is 00:02:23 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
Starting point is 00:02:38 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
Starting point is 00:02:54 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
Starting point is 00:03:09 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
Starting point is 00:03:22 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.
Starting point is 00:03:40 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
Starting point is 00:03:58 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
Starting point is 00:04:15 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
Starting point is 00:04:39 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.
Starting point is 00:05:12 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.
Starting point is 00:05:50 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
Starting point is 00:06:06 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.
Starting point is 00:06:22 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.
Starting point is 00:06:44 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
Starting point is 00:07:05 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.
Starting point is 00:07:22 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
Starting point is 00:07:37 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
Starting point is 00:07:53 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.
Starting point is 00:08:11 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
Starting point is 00:08:45 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.
Starting point is 00:09:09 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?
Starting point is 00:09:27 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
Starting point is 00:09:41 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.
Starting point is 00:10:05 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.
Starting point is 00:10:26 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.
Starting point is 00:10:42 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,
Starting point is 00:11:00 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.
Starting point is 00:11:19 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
Starting point is 00:11:34 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
Starting point is 00:11:54 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
Starting point is 00:12:06 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
Starting point is 00:12:17 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.
Starting point is 00:12:31 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
Starting point is 00:12:47 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.
Starting point is 00:13:03 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.
Starting point is 00:13:19 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.
Starting point is 00:13:43 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.
Starting point is 00:13:56 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.
Starting point is 00:14:16 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
Starting point is 00:14:33 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
Starting point is 00:14:49 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.
Starting point is 00:15:50 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
Starting point is 00:16:15 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.
Starting point is 00:16:40 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
Starting point is 00:16:54 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
Starting point is 00:17:04 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
Starting point is 00:17:15 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
Starting point is 00:17:29 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
Starting point is 00:17:44 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.
Starting point is 00:17:59 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
Starting point is 00:18:17 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
Starting point is 00:18:33 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
Starting point is 00:18:49 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.
Starting point is 00:19:04 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.
Starting point is 00:19:20 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.
Starting point is 00:19:50 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.
Starting point is 00:20:08 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.
Starting point is 00:20:35 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.
Starting point is 00:20:58 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.
Starting point is 00:21:21 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
Starting point is 00:22:03 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
Starting point is 00:22:21 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.
Starting point is 00:22:37 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.
Starting point is 00:22:54 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
Starting point is 00:23:12 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
Starting point is 00:23:56 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
Starting point is 00:24:14 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.
Starting point is 00:24:29 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,
Starting point is 00:24:42 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
Starting point is 00:24:56 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.
Starting point is 00:25:15 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.
Starting point is 00:25:32 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.
Starting point is 00:25:58 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.
Starting point is 00:26:14 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?
Starting point is 00:26:25 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
Starting point is 00:26:49 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.
Starting point is 00:27:06 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.
Starting point is 00:27:20 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
Starting point is 00:27:55 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
Starting point is 00:28:10 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
Starting point is 00:28:35 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?
Starting point is 00:29:13 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
Starting point is 00:29:32 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
Starting point is 00:29:50 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. This show is sponsored by Better Help. You know, my 20s, while being a lot
Starting point is 00:30:08 of fun, a lot of the time, were pretty rough. I wasn't exactly rolling a dough.

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.
Starting point is 00:33:09 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
Starting point is 00:33:32 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.
Starting point is 00:33:51 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
Starting point is 00:34:07 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.
Starting point is 00:34:21 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
Starting point is 00:34:37 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
Starting point is 00:34:51 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
Starting point is 00:35:04 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.
Starting point is 00:35:26 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.
Starting point is 00:35:44 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.
Starting point is 00:36:14 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
Starting point is 00:36:30 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
Starting point is 00:36:55 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.
Starting point is 00:37:28 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.
Starting point is 00:37:43 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
Starting point is 00:37:59 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.
Starting point is 00:38:20 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
Starting point is 00:38:49 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.
Starting point is 00:39:05 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
Starting point is 00:39:21 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
Starting point is 00:39:38 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
Starting point is 00:40:13 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.
Starting point is 00:40:37 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.
Starting point is 00:40:52 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?
Starting point is 00:41:06 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.
Starting point is 00:41:26 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
Starting point is 00:41:52 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
Starting point is 00:42:07 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
Starting point is 00:42:44 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
Starting point is 00:43:00 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
Starting point is 00:43:16 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
Starting point is 00:43:32 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.
Starting point is 00:43:45 No fucking way. Tiny little Robin Williams. Shorter than Sally feels, Robin Williams. Yeah, no, Mrs. Downfe has got some heels on.
Starting point is 00:43:57 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,
Starting point is 00:44:05 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.
Starting point is 00:44:20 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,
Starting point is 00:44:36 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
Starting point is 00:45:02 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.
Starting point is 00:45:23 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.
Starting point is 00:45:40 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?
Starting point is 00:45:53 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
Starting point is 00:46:13 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.
Starting point is 00:46:29 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
Starting point is 00:46:53 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
Starting point is 00:47:42 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
Starting point is 00:47:58 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
Starting point is 00:48:14 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
Starting point is 00:48:30 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
Starting point is 00:48:46 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
Starting point is 00:49:02 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
Starting point is 00:49:18 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.
Starting point is 00:49:33 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,
Starting point is 00:49:52 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.
Starting point is 00:50:08 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.
Starting point is 00:50:19 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...
Starting point is 00:50:31 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
Starting point is 00:51:06 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
Starting point is 00:51:22 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
Starting point is 00:51:35 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
Starting point is 00:51:51 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.
Starting point is 00:52:09 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
Starting point is 00:52:26 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
Starting point is 00:52:42 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
Starting point is 00:52:58 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.
Starting point is 00:53:14 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.
Starting point is 00:53:25 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.
Starting point is 00:53:43 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,
Starting point is 00:54:04 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.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Like, holy fuck, is he fucking everything. Right. You want this to be believable. Pierce Broson, startup company, might hit it big one day.
Starting point is 00:54:24 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,
Starting point is 00:54:32 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.
Starting point is 00:54:48 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.
Starting point is 00:55:05 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.
Starting point is 00:55:20 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
Starting point is 00:55:39 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
Starting point is 00:55:51 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
Starting point is 00:56:16 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
Starting point is 00:56:38 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.
Starting point is 00:56:54 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
Starting point is 00:57:10 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
Starting point is 00:57:26 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.
Starting point is 00:57:39 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,
Starting point is 00:57:58 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.
Starting point is 00:58:12 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,
Starting point is 00:58:24 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
Starting point is 00:58:38 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
Starting point is 00:58:51 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.
Starting point is 00:59:06 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.
Starting point is 00:59:29 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...
Starting point is 01:00:00 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
Starting point is 01:00:16 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
Starting point is 01:00:30 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
Starting point is 01:00:45 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
Starting point is 01:01:01 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.
Starting point is 01:01:19 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.
Starting point is 01:01:42 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.
Starting point is 01:02:24 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.
Starting point is 01:02:45 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.
Starting point is 01:03:11 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.
Starting point is 01:03:34 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,
Starting point is 01:03:50 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.
Starting point is 01:04:16 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.
Starting point is 01:04:55 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.
Starting point is 01:05:17 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
Starting point is 01:05:29 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
Starting point is 01:05:43 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.
Starting point is 01:06:01 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.
Starting point is 01:06:19 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,
Starting point is 01:06:41 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?
Starting point is 01:06:54 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.
Starting point is 01:07:26 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,
Starting point is 01:07:46 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.
Starting point is 01:08:14 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.
Starting point is 01:08:42 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.
Starting point is 01:09:06 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
Starting point is 01:09:35 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
Starting point is 01:10:12 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
Starting point is 01:10:24 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
Starting point is 01:10:37 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
Starting point is 01:10:50 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
Starting point is 01:11:07 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.
Starting point is 01:11:52 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.
Starting point is 01:12:07 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.
Starting point is 01:12:28 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.
Starting point is 01:12:43 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.
Starting point is 01:13:05 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.
Starting point is 01:13:19 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
Starting point is 01:13:35 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.
Starting point is 01:13:55 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
Starting point is 01:14:21 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
Starting point is 01:14:37 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
Starting point is 01:14:49 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
Starting point is 01:15:01 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
Starting point is 01:15:13 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
Starting point is 01:15:29 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
Starting point is 01:15:56 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?
Starting point is 01:16:23 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.
Starting point is 01:16:42 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.
Starting point is 01:17:03 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
Starting point is 01:17:38 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.
Starting point is 01:18:12 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.
Starting point is 01:18:32 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,
Starting point is 01:18:54 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
Starting point is 01:19:12 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.
Starting point is 01:19:42 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
Starting point is 01:19:59 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.
Starting point is 01:20:16 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.
Starting point is 01:20:34 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.
Starting point is 01:21:17 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.
Starting point is 01:21:35 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.
Starting point is 01:21:57 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.
Starting point is 01:22:14 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.
Starting point is 01:22:23 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.
Starting point is 01:22:38 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
Starting point is 01:22:53 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
Starting point is 01:23:10 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?
Starting point is 01:23:30 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
Starting point is 01:23:46 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
Starting point is 01:23:55 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.
Starting point is 01:24:10 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.
Starting point is 01:24:24 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
Starting point is 01:24:42 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
Starting point is 01:24:59 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
Starting point is 01:25:17 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
Starting point is 01:25:35 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.
Starting point is 01:25:50 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.
Starting point is 01:26:05 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.
Starting point is 01:26:26 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.
Starting point is 01:26:58 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
Starting point is 01:27:15 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
Starting point is 01:27:33 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.
Starting point is 01:27:53 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.
Starting point is 01:28:31 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.
Starting point is 01:29:00 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.
Starting point is 01:29:16 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?
Starting point is 01:29:31 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.
Starting point is 01:29:56 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.
Starting point is 01:30:19 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.
Starting point is 01:31:08 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.
Starting point is 01:31:27 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.
Starting point is 01:31:43 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%.
Starting point is 01:31:57 I nodded my head for no good reason. That's not helpful. That's Mrs. Doubtfire from 1993, directed by Chris Columbus.
