Hello, everyone, welcome to the W.
Good God.
Just flying the fuck by.
Life is already over.
Andrew Juven, alongside Christopher Cabin and Eric Siska.
You know, the mailbag, if you're not familiar, gang, is we open up the old mailbag, read some letters that you've written us on the internet.
It's sort of like penthouse letters.
Yeah, only, you know, thank God not that dirty.
There's not as much like...
Well, well, we'll see.
There's some humdiggers tonight.
Oh, actually, yeah, we might be getting a little gross this evening, everybody.
We'll see.
We'll see.
So I'll start off with one that's not so bad.
This is from Ross.
Is it so bad it's good?
Oh, it's so bad.
It's great.
I'm going to take a sip of this.
You'll plug for no reason whatsoever.
But six point craft ails guys, the Bengali.
Yeah.
Six point beer.
Excellent.
Excellent choice for the evening.
Yeah, if anyone at six points listening, please send us free beer.
Yeah.
All the beer.
We'll plug you forever.
It'll be great.
So, okay, so this is Ross in Iowa.
The subject is a teenage movie love story.
A long time listener, first time emailer.
Although I have many teenage movie theater memories,
there's really only one story that sticks out as vivid.
The year was 1994.
I was 14 years old and meeting my first girlfriend for our first ever date at our local mall.
parenthetical
dropped off by our parents of course
oh yeah
that was tough
I know that game
that was a tough
fucking dehumanizing thing
maybe dehumanizing
is a little rough
but I just hated it
I think it was prehumanizing
unfortunate
how about that
awkward as shit
awkward as shit
so let's see here
he says
after hitting the orange
Julius
Aladdin's Castle Arcade.
In my brain, she was very impressed
by my Mortal Kombat 2 skills. She wasn't.
We decided to hit a movie.
We picked The River Wild.
Seemed like a good action movie
and not too romantic for a pair
of nervous 14-year-olds.
No, no, no, no. It's boring.
Yeah, that movie is boring.
Oh, this beer's great.
Well, we got our ticket,
snacks, and plop down in our seats.
This particular theater, as many did at the time,
had the drapes that covered the screens
when movies were not in session.
Once the film started rolling,
the curtains would rise up into the ceiling,
exposing the screen in all its glory.
The problem on this particular day
is that after the drapes went up,
they went back down,
and then back up, and then back down.
Eventually, a manager came into our theater
and said they didn't know how to fix it,
and we could either get a refund
or go to any other movie
and take a gift certificate for our troubles.
This wasn't the end of the world
because, hell, we were 14,
and we were going to get free candy
and another movie ticket out of the deal.
this is where things went downhill
prepare yourselves
hang on tight
Kevin because the movie they decided to go see was
Pulp Fiction
did I mention that I was 14 and on a first date
needless to say we were exposed to many
things that day I did not get a
second date but Pulp Fiction is still
one of my all-time favorites
overall I think the day was a win
cheers and keep up the great work
Ross yeah that's
that's some uncomfortable shit
that's kind of like it's lesser
than like in taxi driver
I was talking about this a couple weeks ago
when he's like hey civil shepherd
you want to go see this porno movie on a date
well yeah I mean the thing is
like selecting a movie for a date
it's an important thing
it's an important thing and cabin I'll tell
this story now because you're in the room
yeah I didn't want there was another mailbag
where this kind of came up and I was like
Cabin's not here but there was
a time where Chris Cabin and I went on a double
date to go see a movie
and that movie was
The Mothman Prophsies.
Oh, we brought it up in butterfly effect.
Oh, did it come up there?
Okay, all right.
I wasn't sure if we talked about it on the air, but I wanted to make sure you were in the room.
But, yeah, remember that we went on that double day?
Yeah, we almost all fell asleep.
It's like, oh, yeah, like, yeah.
Richard Gear horror movie, that'll work.
A bridge, I'm sorry.
In the trailer, a bridge collapses.
And this was before bridges collapsed in every movie.
So it was a unique thing, and I thought it looked.
Cool. Well, at least, you know, you could say you slept together with this young lady because you slept during the movie.
Dozing through all what seemed like six and a half hours of that movie. Jesus Christ, the Mothman prophecy.
You know, the fine thing about that movie is like, every once in a while, someone's like, please do that movie. It gets requested a lot, you know.
And I just don't want to do it. I don't want to watch it again.
There might not be a lot to talk about because not a lot happens.
It's honestly true.
Richard Gere goes to a library and then the bridge falls down.
And then Laura Linney's yelling at somebody.
But speaking of Pulp Fiction, I saw that in the theater.
Oh, really?
Did you?
When I was, I guess I would have been 11.
Yeah, like 10 or 11.
With whom?
I think my mother maybe or my brother or something.
Your parents are great.
It was a small town theater.
No one cares.
Well, actually, I will say that I will say that.
I didn't see it in theaters, but I went to, like, my parents and me used to do the thing.
They would go see their adult movie.
I'd go see, you know, my kid movie.
Right, right, right.
And I got my kid movie.
Wait, wait, hold on a second.
Your parents went to see an adult movie?
Yeah, they're watching pornoes.
Oh, oh, you, oh, I see.
Like rated art flicks.
No, I thought you were talking about skinflicts.
Not the Jenna Jameson review, no, I'm saying.
Chris, Debbie does Dallas, is having a retro, so.
So, yeah, your mother and I are going to see...
Original print.
You've got a...
4K restoration. It's really beautiful.
You're going to go see Mouse Hunt.
See you on the other side.
You're going to go see Mouse Hunt.
I'm going to be hunting something else.
Oh, Lord.
Well, you know, the, what are you, cat?
Anyway, go on.
Anyway, I got out of my movie super early.
Or I was just bored and I left.
Yeah.
And I went to...
I was just, I just walked into Pulp.
and it happened to be the exact scene where he sticks the syringe in her oh really i walked in
directly i was like holy shit oh man that's fantastic out of context screenings uh i always enjoyed
when like as an audience member not as a uh like i have to go in and deal with this
situation but when you had those great projector fuckups you know and like the
manager had to come in and be like I'm sorry
here's free stuff. If that happens
it's like here's your comp pass get out of my
fucking face. I just had a projector fuck-up
happened to me. Oh really? In the 21st century
you get digital fuck-ups, huh? Oh yeah.
I went to see the first screening of the day
of Age of Ultron.
Uh-huh. And the movie started
half an hour late. Half an hour
that's unacceptable. Half an
hour late because
the employees at this particular movie
theater in Queens, New York did not know
how to turn on the projector.
This is the day and age
we're living in, by the way. Yeah, we don't
need projectionists anymore because the
fucking popcorn sweeper can do it right?
Wrong. It's fucking wrong.
Yeah, it's a big time wrong. And then when we
finally got picture, we got some of the
trailers and there was a picture, no
sound. Then there was sound,
no picture. Jesus Christ.
It's just like, well, you know, I would
have been nice to watch the Ant Man preview.
I guess it would have been better
than this.
You get compasses?
They said, listen, we'll get afterwards.
We'll give you compasses.
Just ask a theater employee on your way out.
So I'm, you know, after I see Thanos do his dance.
Jesus Christ, who could possibly care?
There's all these people lined up to try to,
because their movies now starting 30 minutes late.
Right.
Yeah.
And that's the, by the way, that's the fault of the theater management.
If you're half an hour late, fucking cancel it.
Yeah.
Give the compasses.
Sorry, everybody.
Well, okay, speaking of compasses,
I'm walking out and I ask an employee
They said they'd give out a pass for this
They said they'd be just handed them out
What?
I'm like, okay buddy
All right, I'm not dealing with this
That's bullshit and I'll tell you what
I don't care.
You're not saying it, I'm saying it
The Kaufman Astoria Regal in Queens, New York
It's constant bullshit with that place
And it's a joke
It's a fucking joke
So I'm calling you out in a public forum
You terrible movie theater
Remember that time we saw righteous kill
All right, all right, we'll get out of the next letter after this.
Eric and I went and saw Righteous Kill.
We're like, ah, super sweet De Niro and fucking Pacino on the screen at the same time.
We go and see this movie.
And they do that bullshit thing where they make the poor kid come in with the cart
and we're selling candy in the theater.
Oh, that's humiliating.
Well, the trailer start.
This guy's still selling candy.
That's not good.
And I'm just like, all right, it's the previews, whatever.
Movie starts.
Pacino.
on screen. Lights up.
Motherfucker selling candy.
Oh, I was pissed. I wrote a letter.
That theater is a joke. I don't care.
Kaufman Astoria, Regal Cinemas, you're a joke.
Yeah, it's probably one of the worst theaters I've ever been in, but I keep going back.
Because it's down the street from our house.
What are you going to do?
Don't announce that.
It's a big neighborhood.
It's the only movie theater in the neighborhood.
You'll never find me.
All right, let's get on before I go burn that movie.
theater down. All right, let's get on to the next letter, shall we? Here we go. Hey, gang, love the
podcast. I thought I'd get in on this uncomfortable movie watching story sharing trend.
Now, this is what we, you know, hashtag, what are you watching? Right. And as you may have
noticed from the email title, which is, what are we watching? This one comes with a twist. Let me paint a
picture. Oh, man. I like it. I lived in a strict household, meaning that I could not get a car until I worked
long enough to pay for it myself.
That sounds about average, buddy.
It doesn't sound so strict yet.
Welcome to life.
A scam few months after my 16th birthday,
this meant I was still without wheels in rural Kansas.
I mean, that's tough, right?
Yeah.
No mass transit system to set me free there.
Oh, man.
So on a...
Poor bastard.
On a weekend when I was visiting my mother,
we went to...
We went and saw a movie at the India Springs
theater my childhood movie going mecca true story related to the podcast it closed the following
year a day after i saw andaconda it mysteriously reopened long enough years later for me to
see die another day oh god and star trek nemesis in one day that's wow you know what that's an
afternoon that's an afternoon at the movies yeah the theater then returned back into the mists
oh god dude that's a twilight zone yeah what's like mystery movie theater this is a
haunted theater or something like why would it close down and then come back to show
some terrible movies in 2002 and then disappear again you were destined to see these
anyway so it was so it was with the frustration of knowing that I was so close to being able
to take myself out to see the movies that at the last minute I changed my mind about the
more conventional movie I had originally planned and turned to my mom and point
I went to do another movie, which I had heard was pretty violent and possibly had nudity.
After all, I was able to guess the name of the strip club in the movie,
even though a picture in sci-fi magazine obscured the lettering on the sign,
but the nipple-pinching Dion sign was there.
That's right.
It was from Dust Till Dawn.
So this guy's going to see from Dust Till Dawn with his mother.
I want to know what the original movie was before the Dust Till Dawn upgrade.
Right, yeah.
Like, what are we talking?
That's, that's, what year is that, 97?
No.
Sent of a woman's 92.
That wasn't happening.
97.
It's got, maybe it's like 96, 97, something like that, maybe.
Maybe it's Toy Story.
Slingblade, maybe Slingblade.
Oh, man, you opted out as Slingblade.
Well, you know what?
Good move.
Slingblade's like fucking three hours long.
No thanks.
Yeah, probably should have cut that down.
That just ain't rad.
It's just a movie.
My mom shrugged.
saying she could handle it.
Oh, man.
I recall her perking up when she saw John Saxton.
You know what?
Like we all do.
Of course.
And she whispered that she knew who that was.
Oh, I know him.
The first moment of discomfort came when she asked me why Juliet Lewis asked Quinn Tarantino to eat her pussy.
Good gravy.
I had to whisper that she didn't because it was his whole, his, his, Quinn, it was in that movie, if you remember, it was Tarantino's hallucinating.
Oh, right.
He's fantasized.
Oh, that's right, because he's craziest shit in that.
But when we got to the twitty twister.
But when we got to the titty twister.
Oh, mercy me.
She couldn't help but elbow me excitedly to mock my discomfort.
Oh, yeah.
That's great.
I love it.
I honestly think it was this experience that ruined Salma Hayek for me.
You know what ruined Salma Hayek for me?
Everly.
Did you see that?
Oh, is that when she's like an assassin?
Yeah, it's like her taken.
It's terrible.
It's really bad.
I act like it's good, but it's fucking...
No, it's just, it's exactly her take.
Yeah, no thanks.
Yeah, you might as well lit a bag of dog shit, put it on my doorstep.
Probably would have had more fun.
You get a little exercise that way.
Stomping.
I recall later that she teased me even more when telling a neighbor about the grossest
movie she had ever seen.
And she doesn't know why I was uncomfortable because she said,
now this is what his mother said.
Most of them didn't even have any good tits anyway.
God. There's her boobers. Yeah, there's her boobers indeed. A calculated decision gone wrong
if there ever was one. You know, it doesn't sound like it was this much of a calculated decision.
It was a split-section decision. But what I love is this mom realized what was going on. Like,
oh, yeah, sure. I'll take you to see this movie you're asking me to see. Yeah, your last second change of mind.
I'm going to break your balls through the entire thing. Afterwards, when we're talking to the
neighbors over the fence in the backyard you're just never living this down oh bravo
bravo although the most here we go although the most embarrassing part came before the movie
when she farted loudly enough for the whole theater to hear this lady's great he said it was
pretty empty though so but keep up the great work with the shows and you know he likes the
podcast, Dustin. Thank you so much, Dustin. Oh, my God, Dustin. That is...
I'm not sure. Like, have you ever, like, I'm trying to think, because, like, I've seen, I mean,
I have, I do, I remember my mom once telling me in the middle of necessary roughness extremely
loudly. Um, Christopher, this is stupid. Because I had wanted to see. I don't know why, but I
wanted to see it. But, like, yeah, I mean, like, mothers in movie theaters. Yeah, I mean, like,
It's interesting.
They don't mix.
I didn't see a lot of movies with my parents.
To this day, I have not.
I think I can, I probably can't remember all of them.
But like, you know, I took my mom to see Moulin Rouge.
I took my dad to see the majestic.
I took both of them to see Royal Tenenbaum's and they hated it.
That's how I knew I just, I wasn't meant for these times.
I was like, what?
You thought that was stupid?
All right.
I think the last and maybe one of the only movies I saw with my father was saving Private Rine.
Really?
That's when he'll get up for that one.
I do remember me and my dad left Moulin Rouge.
Walked out, did you?
We walked out Moulin.
We did a lot of drive-ins as a family, though.
That we did quite, because you know, and here's the thing.
I do have to respect my parents for this.
Three shit-eaten kids to raise.
You don't want to take us monsters to the movies all at once.
Can you imagine?
So it was smart.
We went to the drive-ins.
It's a smart move there.
They decided to sacrifice themselves to be miserable inside a car with three monsters for the runtime of two movies.
I cannot believe they didn't throw you all three in a sack.
Oh, I know.
Huck you in a river.
Every day I can't believe we weren't murdered.
When I see your face, all I think is bottom of the Hudson.
Oh, yeah, like a sack of cats, dude.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
All right, we got one more here, Cabin.
Yeah, whichever one you prefer.
There's a theater going one
And there's New York City one
I'll go with the theater
All right Chris Cabin take us into the last email
For the mailbag this evening
Hello WHM crew
Really enjoy the podcast
You guys crack me up endlessly
Keep up the good work
Hey stop that brown nose them
Geez don't blow a gasket
With all the enthusiastic reading over there
I'm sorry
Well at least you can get through a letter
Unlike me
Although we haven't gotten through it yet
No that's amazing
Yeah, well, now the pressure.
Okay.
I wanted to pass on a story of a terrible
movie theater experience I once had.
Okay. One year for Halloween,
a local theater decided to show a bunch of popular
horror films. The thing,
Silence of the Lambs,
Nightmare on Elm Street.
Is it a horror movie? It's a horror
thriller. Like, there's horror
elements. There are. Here's
a thing. This is a debate for the ages.
For a Halloween theme,
I think a serial killer type of thing.
I think it works in a
Halloween theme. I feel like if you can see
some asshole dressing up as Hannibal
You know, I'd like to see
someone come to the theater dressed up like
Buffalo Bill. Oh yeah, dude.
Post tuck and struck. Yeah, tuck and
struck. The Q Lazarus playing back.
Exactly, dude. He's just got the mangina
out. It's great. Getting ready for it.
I love Ted Levine, man.
I do. What a brave actor. All right.
You do a fucking
mangina on screen
for the world to see. I love
Dead Levine.
Yeah, all right.
Even through Monk.
Oh, yikes.
I was excited to say the least.
The nightmare screening in particular was packed.
Original nightmare in Elm Street, does it specify?
I doesn't specify, but I assume.
All right.
Maybe I'm wrong to, but I do.
Well, just thinking of John Saxon.
It's either that, Dream Warriors or New Nightmare.
He's popping up all over this mailman.
Him and his fucking well-maintained toupee.
I'm sorry, go ahead.
So my girlfriend and I had to take a seat back near a sweaty guy with a giant bowl of popcorn.
A bowl or an actual, like, a bowl signifies food from home.
Yes.
That's a whole lot of effort you're putting into.
Bringing a bowl from home with popcorn.
I'm going to assume you mean, you know, just to really, yeah, a tub.
A tub would be what the word would be.
Yeah, like the large ones.
A bucket.
Yeah, the bucket tub.
Better get a bucket.
You're going to throw up.
So, this man proceeded to laugh at the top of his lungs through the entire film.
Not one or two chuckles at the outdated effects.
I kind of get that.
Non-stop for every scene.
Neckbeard didn't care.
Neckbeard don't care.
About anybody.
I just wanted to troll an entire theater of people.
What a fucking asshole.
Just laughing throughout the entire movie at every scene.
What the fuck?
No amount of shushing from people around us helped.
I've never wanted to fight someone so badly in my entire life.
Neither have I.
What type of bad experiences have you had with other people in theaters?
Man, you're about to get it.
Like, I mean, I assume you guys have had hundreds.
Oh, sure.
Which is like encounters with fucking horrendous people.
I mean, I remember seeing Independence Day.
I saw Independence Day.
Opening day.
Yep.
That's what that's what.
America did that day. We all went
collectively as a country and saw
Independence Day. The theater was
packed to the gills. And in the front
there's this guy. And I see
he's doing something with his hands. He's kind of like
and his friends are clearly very loudly saying
don't do that. Oh, Jesus.
And then the movie starts
jerking
off. His friends are politely telling
him to quit masturbating.
In anticipation of Independence Day.
So it turns out, the
lights dim. The movie comes on. He lights up a cigar. Get the fuck out of it. He
Cape feared that theater. He just started puffing away at this thing. Was he laughing
too? Oh yeah. Robert De Niro laughing in that movie. And then like a manager had to come in and like,
sir, could you please not do the thing that clearly you know you're not supposed to be fucking doing.
Oh man. Trying to think. Oh, at the prestige, I had people who did not want to stop laughing.
I thought Hugh Jackman was just a barrel laughs
I saw Guardians of the Galaxy in the theater
actually went to a really nice theater
went to the Ziegfeld Theater
If you come to New York City
That's the theater to go to it's in Midtown
It's an old movie palace
It's gorgeous
It's gorgeous and by the way I'm about to have
A terrible experience story from there
That you just reminded me of
But please continue
Well you know I saw Guardians of the Galaxy there
And and you know
We sat down and
Oh who would you think would walk in
to a theater showing a Marvel movie.
Well, I'll tell you, a whole
gaggle of the most stereotypical
fat gross nerds
you've ever seen. And I know
that's coming from a fat gross nerd.
Sure. I'm telling you, I'm halfway
normal compared to these fellas.
You know how to behave in a theater.
I'm talking ponytails.
I'm talking cargo shorts. I'm talking
you talking tucked in t-shirts?
There was a couple.
With wolves on them?
I think they were
comic book characters.
Well, all right.
You got to go in uniform.
You got to go in uniform.
The guardians are coming out.
You got to go in uniform.
Your fucking raccoon t-shirt.
They sit down right in front of us.
Jesus.
You know what?
It's your fault for not moving.
You saw this coming a mile away.
You are correct.
You are correct.
You know, you were watching the movie.
You start getting an odor.
Of course you'd stop.
They were like, I'm serious.
There was one dude just fucking ripping farts.
Get the fuck out of here.
They were talking and it's just like...
Were they displeased with the way the characters were being represented on screen?
You know, Rocket Raccoon would not really...
I don't know what exactly was said.
It was a horrific experience.
The movie was great.
Yeah, great movie.
I managed to enjoy it through the haze.
A fart and cheese.
A fucking, you know, these comic book people, man.
I mean, I get it to a degree, but come on, you're in public.
I mean, the farting, you can be a fan of anything.
Stop farting in public.
Or just go to the bedroom.
You go see the movie again.
I'm sorry.
If it's really that bad.
You know you're going to see it twice anyway.
Also, if you're a new listener, go back to the.
the archives, listen to the episode on
Swats. Oh, where you tell
the greatest movie theater of revenge of all
time. Where I almost fight an old man.
You almost did it.
What have I had ruin
for me? Oh, so at the Ziegfeld, it's a gorgeous
movie palace. My God.
One of the best. Most beautiful thing you'll see
in New York City. You know, fuck go into the Statue
of Liberty. You can't... If you
go visit this town, go see a movie at the
Ziegfeld. Doesn't even matter what's playing. Just go.
It's glorious. It's a beautiful thing.
Well, don't I go see it?
Iron Man 2 there. Speaking
to Marvel movies. I think it's a curse.
Oh yeah. It brings out the worst
in humanity. So there we are.
Behind us,
we got a dad who
only sees his kids every other weekend
situation. Okay.
We got the two little brothers, right?
One's like fine and excited
to see Iron Man on the big screen
once again. But this other
little turd the whole
time talking shit.
Talking shit to the movie.
What?
Talking shit to the movie, kicking chairs, okay?
I turn around.
I say, you want to tell your kid to keep it down?
Motherfucker is on his Blackberry, not even paying attention to Iron Man 2, which I get because it's Iron Man 2.
Sure.
It's understandable.
But the dude doesn't even acknowledge me.
Wow.
Then, oh, then.
When the kid realizes that weekend dad is on his Blackberry and ignoring me.
Oh, shit. Business Dad don't give a shit.
Kid starts laughing at it.
me laughing at me that i asked the dad to tell the kid to stop talking and it only fuels the
fire oh my blood would boil and this kid is just talking shit surprised you can be still watching
the movie with all the steam getting out in front of you coming out my ears yeah i know
oh man was i ready to go and that's the worst part about it because he's like a fucking
12 year old kid and i just wanted nothing more did you just put speaking of putting a
in a sack and throwing him in the river.
Oh, my God. Oh, laughing at me.
Laughing because I asked him to keep it down.
Oh, oh, man.
The fucking week was ruined.
It was unbelievable.
I saw the gray one time.
That was the Liam Neeson Wolf movie.
Yeah, when you should find the wolves.
Which is, I think it's a great movie.
I enjoy it. Yeah, people try to talk shit.
It's a fun. It's a fun movie.
Well, speaking to talking shit during the gray, it's, we're seeing it at another one
the worst movie theaters in New York City,
the Court Square Theater,
down in Brooklyn.
I think it's another Regal, by the way.
Get your fucking shit together, Regal Cinemas.
This theater, I mean,
it's the theater.
Was there a wolf heckling the screens?
Dude, there was an entire theater of people
that just, they wanted to come see
taken with wolves.
That's why we were all there.
We thought it was going to be taken with wolves.
But I realized right away that it's something
like much more nuanced
and patient and different.
And I accepted that.
got into it. The other
200 people in that theater thought
it was taken with wolves. And when it wasn't
it's that scenario
where the movie theater turns
on the movie and it
just, it couldn't be stopped.
Nothing could stem the Avalanche.
Yeah, because none of them
seen alive, they're not ready
for alive. No, and I mean
it was just the worst. Every, like,
and it's a quiet movie.
It's just yelling at the screen. Which brings
me to a final point I
want to make about like theater disruption and that is theater comedians and theater comedians I know
you're listening out there you mean like when we do a live show no no no this is what I mean by
theater comedians the theater comedians are the people the attention whore people that when there's a
movie going on it's a big sold out opening night or something like that they're the people that
during the quiet moments yell something that is just it's so hilarious that they can't keep it
inside themselves and they have to
vomit out this hilarious
joke during a quiet part
in a movie and
just soak up the laughs
from all the idiots that are
dumb enough to laugh at theater comedians
right? Yeah. Age of Ultron
this happens to me. There's some like
silent moments in that movie where we're
like quickly reflecting. I was during
like the um when Scarlet Witch like
makes them see fucked up things and whatever
sure and all the theater comedian
was there. He was all warmed up.
up cracked his knuckles, had a warm cup of tea to get the vocal cords ready.
And I can't even, I can't even hear what he's saying, because I'm so far away.
But you just hear like, and then just the waves of laughter permeating out throughout the theater.
And the theater comedian is just there, just feeding off of it.
And that's the problem.
If you're laughing at a theater comedian, you're only making it worse for everybody.
So wait, are you sure it wasn't Ultron?
Ultron was busy telling his own jokes on the screen
This douchebag in this theater
Well that's the thing is they're they're cowards right
Get up on a stage and tell a joke
No exactly yeah you're just yelling nonsense
At fucking a computer James Spader
Thanks thanks theater comedians
I wouldn't be able to go to the movies without you
Also quick Ultron story
When I saw the movie is like 11 o'clock
Before it opened like the Fridays
Like the Thursday night 11 o'clock show
Pack Theater
I'm in the back
like off on the side
and it's like a little three seat row
and this huge dude comes up
and I say he's got a security guard shirt on
and he's like hey man is this seat taken
and I was like no
so this huge fat dude
sits down on the aisle seat
but it's perfect because we have the buffer
so I know I'm not going to have to sit next to anybody
I hate sitting next to people at the movies
which I know is the dumbest thing ever
I hate it unless it's my wife I hate it
When we see movies, we leave buffers usually together.
I'm not sitting next to you, Chris Cabin.
You're pulling shit.
What?
You're pulling shit.
Pulling shit?
Yeah, you're, stop masturbating.
So, but so this security guard.
It was the great Gatsby.
What else was I going to do?
That's a movie we all saw together.
We did.
That's right.
No, so lights go down, right?
Movie starts up.
We're not even, like, Ultron hadn't made his first appearance yet at the party.
And that's what I really appreciate about that movie.
We get to Ultron Mighty Quick, right?
For the most part, like Mighty Quick for a two hour and twenty-hour movie.
So Ultron hasn't even been born yet.
I don't even think they had the party yet.
This dude, whose job it is, to guard the movie from, like, bootlegging, falls asleep.
Out cold snoring during an action movie.
And we got, like, one of those bars in front of us, you know, because there's like the front row of the thing or whatever.
So he's got his foot up on it
And he's just snoring his big fat guy
Big fat guy snore
I start kicking this bar
Every time this dude started snoring
Dude I was getting a workout
During the age of Ultron
Because I'm kicking the shit out of this bar
To wake this fat guy up
Did he wake up?
He would wake up for like two seconds
And look around
And just be like
Movies still on
And just right back
I was seriously kicking this bar
Like every four and a half minutes
It was unbelievable
I've never, that's crazy.
It was great.
And I was like, if this movie winds up on the internet, it's that guy's fault.
Definitely not the Russian.
Don't blame the Russians, don't blame the Chinese.
Well, that's WHM Mailbag for this month, gang.
Again, if you want your weird stories read on the air, if you have some questions for us about the show or about our moviegoing experiences, right into the mailbag.
We all hate movies at gmail.com.
Until next month, I'm Andrew Juppin.
Chris Gavin.
Eric Siska.
Take it easy.
Okay, you guys, listen up.
People pay good money to see this movie.
When they go out to a theater, they want cold sodas, hot popcorn,
and no monsters in the projection booth.
Do I have to come up there myself?
Do you think the grimsters can stand up to the holster?
Well, if I were you, I'd run the rest of gremlins too right now.
Sorry, folks.
happen again.
