Thank you.
across the sea of stars lies another world a world almost exactly like ours this is where he lives
he's 27 years old single but searching favorite sports windsurfing and akito favorite pastimes
cigars and sex he has everything except fulfillment and then one night it happens
He has a very sudden midlife crisis.
He lands in Cleveland.
You do know why you were sent to me.
Listen to me, small visitor.
I can explain how you got here.
Maybe you're here for some greater purpose, some cosmic cause.
Here, he's forced to reassess his career goals.
You went to med school?
To explore new relationships.
To redefine his self-image.
I'm sorry.
Let's allow pets on the premises.
To adjust to a changing lifestyle.
Oh, I pull it out!
Until he discovers just who he really is.
Oh, no.
A duck in big trouble.
That's a duck, man.
Howard, the duck.
Trapped in a world he never made.
Coming from George Lucas,
a Willard Hike film,
a Gloria Kat's production.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome we hate movies.
Ducktails, who
Every day they're out there making
Ducktails
Brooklyn, what is happening
too bad a good lucktales
I like that.
Hello Duckberg
Brooklyn, what is
happening?
I like that.
I'm Andrew Jupin.
What happened?
Wait, all right, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
We've got a seat malfunction.
Is everyone ready?
Is everyone ready?
Is everyone ready?
I forgot how to sit down, I'm sorry.
Okay.
All right, so three, two.
I'm Andrew Juven.
Chris Cabin.
And we are, we hate movies from New York City.
How are you guys doing?
Holy shit, Brooklyn.
This is pretty cool.
No ducks, though.
No ducks, not a duck.
No, look down.
You can't see them.
Oh, yes.
Like everybody making themselves at home
with the drinks on the stage,
that's totally okay with us.
Take your shoes off, relax.
Let's not get nuts here.
It's just a podcast.
Who brought their robe?
Anybody want to be in their robe?
You've been pushing this robe bit
for the last hour.
I think it really works.
All right.
Works.
Gross.
How many of y'all are familiar with the show
we were on the internet?
Just a couple of you.
Sure.
For those uninitiated, you may have, I like to say
maybe you were tricked into coming.
We're a program where we take a...
Oh, it's a nature show about ducks.
It's a nature show about ducks.
There are no refunds?
No, no. No.
Mallards are a kind of duck.
No.
We're a show that talks about bad movies, is the idea.
So we take a bad movie and we kind of just like crack some jokes
and make fun of some people, potential slander.
We haven't gotten in trouble yet.
Not quite yet.
We'll see how that flies.
But before we get going, we've got a We Hate Movies prize package that we want to give out.
Oh my God, don't get that excited.
It's really shitty.
So Steve's going to get up and take a tally.
Raise your hand if you think you came the farthest.
to see the show this evening.
Yonkers doesn't count.
It should.
So Steve's going to go around here.
Let's see. Steve, careful, careful, all right.
There we go.
Oh, look at that.
It worked out.
Oh, all right, perfect.
What about you in the front row?
That'd be easy.
Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, okay.
What's that?
Philly!
That lady.
Whoa.
Holy shit.
All right, so that dude's out.
Anybody in Alaska?
Wait, you got a lady in the back.
Irvine? Oh shit, I don't know geography. Who wins?
Are you two fight to the death on that?
Anyone outside the continental United States?
Good.
Okay.
Irvine or, oh God.
The band worked.
Okay, so Irvine or Redlands.
Does anyone know geography?
Does anyone know which one's further?
Irvine and Redlands.
Irvine.
Oh, I heard Irvine.
That's it.
Irvine, get the hell up here.
Come on up here.
Irvine. Come on up here, Irvine.
Oh, wow. This is an exclusive
we hate, all the way up on stage. Come on, come on.
By the way, Redlands don't feel
so bad, because it's just this.
Like, really, it's just, it's just this.
It's just a tape.
All right, what's your name?
Claudia. Thank you so much for coming out.
Did you drive?
No. Okay.
I too. With the ducks.
You're probably here for something else, right?
You couldn't have come out all the way.
Was this happenstance?
Oh, it's her bachelorette party.
All right.
Oh, my God.
All right.
Now I feel really good.
We are going to remain
mostly clothed the entire time.
We might get that robe bit.
Don't lie to them.
Thank you so much.
Claudia and our Bachelor of Party.
All right.
So now,
the film in question.
Yeah.
Are you all right?
You're ready?
Yeah.
It's Howard the Duck.
Oh, wait, hold on, hold on.
There it is.
Yeah, I just...
If we're going to get in,
do it. Yeah. So this is from
1986, the grand year
1986. Directed
by Willard Huck.
He's the only
filmmaker that was named after Goofy's
laugh.
So, Steve, if we had to give
sort of like a boilerplate, what is
this piece of trash about?
Based on the Marvel Comics
character, nobody liked.
One dude in the back just went,
oh.
The only one that nobody liked.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, it's a duck that gets a man, a duck man, I guess.
He's a duck, he's a duckman.
A duck being.
Is transported from a duck world.
Duck world, yeah.
Into the human world.
Human world.
Earth, also known as human world.
And he winds up running a foul.
Oh, wow.
That's awesome.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, wow, wow.
Oh, man.
Oh, Siska remains seated.
The opposition party.
I'll clap a little bit.
He runs afoul of a...
He winds up meeting Leah Thompson,
who's in a band.
She's, like, his only friend in the world.
And then that happens for 40 minutes,
and then the last 50 minutes
it's kind of like Ghostbusters, I guess.
And, like, Jeffrey Jones shows up,
like, more than halfway through the movie.
He's like, hey, by the way, I'm the movie.
You're like, really?
And then a lot of stuff happens
that we'll probably talk about.
It's a surprise Jeffrey Jonesing,
which you're really got to be on the lookout for these.
I need to be alerted.
Wait.
Yeah, I mean, 200 yards?
Is that the...
I believe that's a language.
Any movie theater.
Yeah.
Or portrait studio.
Oh, come on.
But actually...
Yeah.
Well, I were fucking related to him.
And they were artistic.
My question is, what was the deal with the casting director on Who's Your Caddy?
That was long after the troubles.
He wanted to give him a shot.
He's like, you know what, alleged this and that.
We're making a movie with Big Boy here, so...
Yes.
My question is, is anyone a Howard the Duck, either the...
Who's a fan of the movie?
All right.
No, you're not.
Who is a fan of the comic character?
All right, so...
All right.
This dude very emphatically.
Okay.
We have no more.
prizes to give, so you just did that for nothing.
The good news is we don't know anything
about the comic, so you're safe.
Yeah, so
we open on a sad
jazz kind of a
situation. And it's just
George Lucas presents, like
wah-ram-w...
Well, you know, Stephen, I really thought that this
could be sort of like a hard-boiled detective
noir type thing.
And what noir doesn't start without a really
great sad saxophone.
You know, Stephen, I...
In Star Wars, I always wanted a sexualized duck.
I thought for a minute that that wolfman was going to be fucking, but that didn't happen.
Maybe a duck creature.
That was Spielberg's one note, and I've never forgiven him.
You know, we open on a steamy office with a lights streaming in, and who should walk in?
But, subalba.
Oh, man, subalba.
We're wearing a low-cut dress.
a very voluptuous subalba
by the way there are twin moons in this
to remind you a Star Wars
Oh are the twin moons
Right at the start
Were they egg shaped as well
Because that's how stupid it gets
Now the planet
Duck World itself is indeed shaped like an egg
I got more questions about Duck World
Sure let's get into it
Duck World
This is where
Speaking of the music we played when we came out
Yeah
Duck Berg I think is in there
I think it's contained in this world
Yeah
A shared cinematic universe
Because they all have duck puns
Yeah which is also with that
That's what Ducktails built its empire on
Which I don't I still don't get this
Why like you know we're people
We don't just say like we're not like
We're people
We are
But we're not like people we hate movies
We're just we hate movies
Because we all assume that we're all people
Like Chris Cabin person
Yeah exactly
Right his last name is Duck
It's Howard T Duck
So his middle name
the. Yes. And
is everyone in the world
last name duck? I think it's a T-duck.
It's duck or mallard, I think.
Oh, yeah. Or another kind
of duck, which I'm not going to bring that out.
Do you know any more ducks?
No, I don't. I already said that.
Does anyone know any more ducks?
Goose?
No, no. I was about to foolishly
ask, oh wait, does a goose a duck?
Foul, yes, foul, yeah.
So you get that.
I mean, like, so we open on his apartment.
He's a lonely feathered fucker, man.
I also like that...
Listen, I don't need...
Here's the thing.
I see this preview.
He's a fun-loving duck.
Uh-huh.
He probably fucks.
Oh, dude, that's what the whole movie is.
No, no, no, no, no.
You don't know it just yet.
I'm talking about from the preview.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, spoiler alert.
Spoiler alert, he definitely fucks.
But just...
From the preview, like, if...
I'm with my kids in the theater in like
1985 and it's like
summer 1986 this duck might fuck
you're also well I mean you're also
getting arrested by CPS.
Coming
summer 1986 this duck might fuck
but
he looks to be like pretty fun-loving
is the idea right? But then you
open on this sad apartment and it's like
this dude is preparing to hang himself
like if he
is not pulled through this wormhole
to our dimension he's
fucking swinging from the shower pole, man.
It's over for Howard T. Duck this evening.
He's got all these sad movie posters up, right?
Well, they're not even movie. I think they're porno parodies.
That's the greatest thing to figure out.
They definitely are. Because it's Breeders of the Stork, and it's an Indiana Jones parody.
Breeders of the Lost Stork. That is disgusting.
I've got kids here. Let's not say the word breeders.
And then there's a W.C. Fowles.
Yeah. My Little Chicken.
Yeah, My Little Chicken.
Yeah, that's one of all the kids are laughing their asses off with that.
A sick W.C. Fields joke.
Then you got Splash Dance.
Whoa.
That's definitely the porno parody.
That's what I'm saying.
That are president watches.
Yes.
Right?
But the thing is, there clearly have to be porno parodies because, like, that's who this guy is.
He's a man that decorates his house with pornography, I feel.
Or he's a dog.
Wall to wall. Wall to wall pornography.
And you're not even ashamed
if people come over. Like, yeah, I just love it.
Hey, this is me. If you don't want
to come over, fuck it.
Take a good look at it all.
His Super Bowl party
last 20 minutes.
Everyone's like, no.
I got a calendar
in the bathroom, too.
They're not even going to make it to Lady Duck Duck's
halftime show.
That's what this movie's fucking
Peppered with. And it doesn't stop
there. Like he gets home, looks at all of his
posters, gets cantalized, checks the mail
what's in there. Ooh, play duck.
Play duck. Oh, wait, I missed
this. He had a subscription?
Oh, he's gotten there. It comes in the mail.
Getting pornography
mail to your house is kind of tough.
That's rough. It's the 80s, man.
Actually, wait a second, though. I don't know, because
he pulls it on like a little brown paper sleeve.
Oh, to me, that's a bodega purchase.
Which is
even fucking sadder.
It's like, all right, thing of juicy fruit, a bag of Fritas.
And could you package up some of that pornography for me?
And also some non-alcoholic duck wine.
Can I tell a personal story real quick?
Yes, please.
You know what? Yep.
So I was...
Bying pornography.
No, I was actually not buying pornography.
It was like...
It's a pornography store.
It was like 2003. I was at Port Authority, and I was like,
I got to ride this train.
Let me go to the magazine.
that I was like, oh, let me get a,
do you got Wizard Magazine back there now?
Jesus Christ.
Wait, Wizard Magazine in 2003.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Continue.
I wanted to see what movies might come out in 20 years.
Sure.
And the guy, I look, oh, do you have a Wizard magazine back?
That guy's Orgy Magazine?
And I was like, no, wait, no, no, no, no, no.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Yeah, one orgy coming up.
Wizard Magazine.
Oh, you know what it's sold out?
I got to go get it in the back.
Hey, Reggie!
need a couple of orgy magazines out here
it's for this little short guy in the trench coat
and you know what bring out some barely legals too
just in case he might need them
they're all Lord of the Rings theme this month
you watch your wizards having an orgy
I got it for you
yes that happened
that's it I mean that's the story
yeah it's a small person did he bring out the magazine
did you say I was like no wizard magazine
and he was like oh I get it never mind
cancel that order
It's just a comic book catalog for that loser.
But you know what?
Bring him out anyway.
Trying to make a sale here.
Give me the hard sell on Orgy magazine?
My question is, I mean, the opening of this is so filthy.
Like, he opens this up, and he's like, all right.
He makes a joke to himself, sad.
He's like, oh, I wonder who they're interviewing this month.
It's like, motherfucker, that's for someone else in the room.
You know why you're opening this duck porn.
And it goes way beyond, because on TV, he's watching TV all of a sudden, and he's got, there's like crotch, itch, itch, ditch, duck powder.
Oh, yeah, and he starts scratching his own balls.
Is it here?
Yeah, that's it.
That's before he decides to look at pornography.
It's like, nothing on TV, nothing on TV.
Well, it's jorne.
Well, I've already touched my gentleness tonight.
I'm already halfway there.
Yeah, it's called the Rive Up.
No, so he opens this thing.
He makes his interview joke, which is sad, and then he flips open this.
centerfold and it's just like duck
boobs? Yeah. Come on
George Lucas
and everybody else involved.
Like that's the thing. Nobody
said no. Yes. No one
was like, hang on. Now
sir who's the fan of the comic?
Raise your hand there, sir. What is the ratio of
duck nudity per comic issue?
There's no
explicit nudity.
It's all implied duck nudity. So this
is all Lucas. Got it. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, you like comic books?
Do you? You want an orgy magazine?
But the thing is, like, the duck nipples are the problem.
That's the problem.
I mean, like...
That's the problem.
Actually, women, duck women having breasts at all,
we can really sit here and talk till the cows come home.
You know what I mean?
Like, we're not going to fight that fight, right?
But the nipples is where I really draw the line.
Well, like, what is that even?
Are they, like, cross-bred with mammals?
Yes.
That's what I would assume.
Is this all, like, an alien experiment?
Well, I...
That's a good call.
question is why didn't you just turn
the camera to the front of the...
Did we really need to see it? Yes, that's another good question.
You have a stupid puppet eyes go like
br-hmm, right? And you know,
you know, there's, you know,
duck nudity. And frankly, that was enough.
That was plenty. That was plenty. I was done.
But my question is, this movie
is, it's so filthy. Like, why are we stopping
at play deck? Like, why isn't it, like,
you know, like, duck house?
Duxel.
Fowler. Oh, my God.
Fowler, yeah. Larry, Larry,
Flint, Larry Duck,
a duck Larry Flint essentially?
Yeah.
I'm in a duck wheelchair.
Pervert duck walk.
Oh, I've been shot in the
pervert duck back.
Oh, there goes my wishbone.
Buh. Duckward Norton, I couldn't thank you more.
Oh, no,
Duck Courtney Love is drowning in advance.
Milos Duckman directed a
fantastic duck biography of me.
As he just writes itself.
I'm sorry.
But so he gets Ghostbusters
out because like literally... It's a real Zool thing.
It is because he's in his like little
masturbation chair and it flies
something...
Baiton chair.
Baiton chair.
What you said baiting chair?
Baiton chair. Yeah, everybody's got one.
Come on down to the Cisco warehouse.
We got lots of bait and chairs.
We're trying to liquidate all these baiting chairs.
I see you got Orgy Magazine.
We bought far too many baiting chairs.
We can't move them.
No, so he gets sucked out into this wormhole,
and as Chris was saying, as you do,
you do see a naked lady duck bathing.
What?
Just come on.
That's two in like two minutes.
That's too, too many in two minutes.
And she's like singing, and it looks like she's getting ready to dine.
She's drinking a cocktail, too.
Oh, wow.
What'd you say?
She's drinking a cocktail.
I don't mean that as like a dirty joke.
No, yeah, she's got like a glass of wine.
She might also be preparing for suicide.
You never know that.
That's also a possibility.
It's a real lonely hearts building.
It's like a sad, like lonely, like singles-only
Kirk Van Houghton duck apartment complex.
And she's also getting ready to take her own duck life.
Oh, man.
See, we could have gone so much darker with this movie, Stephen.
His boys did such a good job.
You cut it down to two duck breasts.
It was going to be five.
I'm not even over the fucking first one yet.
And the second one just hits you right in the face.
I guess that's my question.
Was that Lucas's like goal here?
It's like, I'm so tired.
Oh, those Ewox were so silly.
You know, those were for kids.
We need something real, man.
I can be salacious, Mark.
You know, Stephen, not enough kids movies give you erections.
Very true, very true.
That's a fact.
That's a duck fact.
Stephen, there are a couple,
and E.D. to its credit.
Oh, fucking filthy.
He gets, like, sucked into a different thing.
We do see the Earth is shaped like an egg,
which makes no sense.
Well, it's not the Earth. It's Duck World.
Yeah, Duck World.
It doesn't make sense, but I'm laughing.
Sure.
And he, like, we get this weird, like,
space narration from somebody.
Oh, God.
It's just some, like, Jason Robards rip-off.
And he's like, since the dawn of time, the first one has always been,
Howard the Duck.
He's just like, who cares?
I know.
I fucking know.
I just watched him almost masturbate.
I know what this movie's about.
And I also saw the poster of Just the Duck and, you know, pointers going,
would you fuck this duck?
They also say that every reality exists that you can think of, right?
So that's why there's explain.
that's what I don't like
these alternate reality things
where like the pop culture is the same
yeah yeah don't you get creative
they have the same font on rolling egg
magazine
oh that's just a bunch of chuckles
that means like there was a duck World War II
I guess
and there was like
oh duck Hitler
the battle at Duckirk
the battle at Duckirk
fucking
fucking Duckler dude
I remember where I was
when Duck F. Kennedy got shot
I remember exactly where I think
Joseph
gobbles?
Minister of propaganda?
I mean, I'll give it to you.
Fine. That's turkeys, but I'll give it to you.
Some of turkeys.
Do you think there was like a deleted idea?
You know, there's like that famous
unproduced script of Seinfeld where Elaine buys a gun
and it's like a whole thing.
Do you think there was a rejected script of duct tails where they like,
where they brought back from...
Had sex?
Lots of sex. That's the only thing.
No, no, no, no.
I was going to say they brought Adolf Duckler back from the grave.
No, they said they would rewrite history.
Yeah.
And they might solve a mystery.
So the mystery of how that fucker got in the present day.
I could see Scrooge McDuck as like a historical revisionist.
Well, you know, not all the truths out there.
Who knows what kind of gold he's got in that, too.
Yeah, that's.
Who knows?
I don't know the provenance of all that gold.
Where the fuck did all those paintings come from?
Okay.
No, no, no, the duck accosts never happened.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know what you thought you were going to get.
So he winds up in Streets of Fire, which is kind of cool.
Which right away, I'm like, man, I wish I was watching Streets of Fire.
What a fucking cool movie that is.
Yeah, right? Streets of Fire.
Four people, great.
Wait, Walter Hills Howard, the Duck.
He's definitely got a sawed-off shotgun.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, I sawed-up duck gun.
But that makes more...
I mean, like, the problem is he's talking like he's a ninja turtle, right?
He's like, oh, gosh, he's, like, really cute.
He should be, like, voiced by Danny DeVito.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
It should be gruff and mean and, like, ah, fuck, I got another cigar.
Like, that's like, oh, God.
You can't have a character that's constantly chomping on cigars,
and then he's like, oh, hey, buddy.
He's got to be in my mouth.
It's fucking melting out of my body.
I keep smoking cigars.
If every reality exists, then there's a planet of Danny DeVito's.
Oh, my God.
Oh, you know what, man?
Get me a fucking rocket to that town.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, man, you'd be on the basketball team.
You'd be the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of Danny DeVito World.
You finally figured out how I could be a basketball soon.
Yeah, exactly.
Just find my way to you a planet of Danny DeVito's.
Man, the movie Twins kind of makes sense now.
So we meet Leah Thompson, and the only way we can have any kind of meat cute in any universe
is if there is some sort of like almost sexual assault, right?
It's the 1980s, and that's what we have to do.
The only way a woman can meet a man is if the man saves her from sexual assault.
Or if a duck meets a woman.
Yeah, or a duck.
You could put a duck in there if you want.
That duck has to be hiding in a garbage can.
and then he waits
kind of too long to do something about it.
He's thinking about it.
It's really not like a knee-jerk reaction.
It's like, hey, what's going on up there?
Should I?
Okay.
And he employs quack foo,
which if you want to leave now,
the doors are wide open.
Like, really, just, just, you could file right out.
But I look, he makes a big deal about,
like, you don't fuck with someone who knows quack foe.
And then just this little person in a suit
jumps down and hits somebody with a garbage can'top.
And I was like, that's not a martial art of any kind.
Well, he's also, like, doing a crouching tiger move.
Like, he floats up and, like, balances on the lid.
Well, I can do wire work.
Sure.
I could fight people with garbage.
I've seen it.
Just huck and trash.
That's your finishing move.
Gonna hit you with old eggshells.
Yeah, coffee grinds.
Ha.
Get them right in the eyes.
Right, yeah.
Fight dirty, fight trash
The red eye
We do see
That's your wrestling finishing move
Yeah
We do see Leah Thompson's band
Who are called the Cherry Bombs
And the music is kind of great
In this movie
The best part of this movie
Hands out right
It's great soundtrack
Except for that theme song
Oh the theme song is fantastic
Oh maybe it's quacktastic
It's a bit quacktastic
And like we kind of
She like is like
Oh thanks so much for saving me
and they have this thing where he's like
I don't know lady I gotta go my way
you gotta go yours and it's like whatever
man you're fucking in a world of people
he doesn't react
appropriately to being on a
planet of things that don't look like
that goes both ways though because everyone's like
oh cool like a talking person
duck awesome they all think he's
in a costume yeah that's the thing
that's your like go away or your go to
and the screenplay is like oh he's in a
Halloween costume it's a little baby in a Halloween
and somebody threw him into this punk club
Somebody spent $4.5 million to make this costume, I guess, for this baby.
Which can I just say, when you get to the blissful end credits of this movie,
it's like, you know, Leah Thompson is Beverly, whatever the fuck, Jeffrey Jones, he's going places.
Jail.
No, that's the party skip somehow.
But so then it's like this list of like Howard, Howard, Howard, Howard, Howard, Howard.
and I was like, how many skeletons you find in this thing?
There's like eight fucking Howard's, man.
All right, last reel.
We got to kill the new Howard.
Apparently they cast a kid at first I read on Wikipedia,
and then the kid had a horrible time.
He was, like, tormented in this suit.
Well, you know, a child can't perform quack food.
I mean, I guess the question is,
what's the crossover ratio between those Howard's and the brood?
probably a lot
yeah no a couple of those
brooders were in there you get these like
Canadian little people actors
bus them into Cleveland well maybe
Ewarks
oh yeah oh a couple of former
George George I got some
pipe hitting Ewox man
they'll come they'll be in your duck movie
dude this movie's gonna be for real
I met a lot of those ewarks
we smoked a lot of weed
they were like
George you need to deliver us
a very foul duck
to play
and I took that seriously
Seriously.
They said, George, we want to fuck.
Get it's a row weekend fucking.
And he wants up going home with her, and like, she's like, oh, you know, there's like a nice touching rain scene.
And, like, she's like, hey.
Which I don't need in this crass comic book movie, by the way.
I don't think you feel sad for this fucking monster.
This tiny fucking sweet-talking monster, man.
It's disgusting.
And it's not even, like, if you want to continue the Bogart thing, that's fine.
But he doesn't have a trench coat.
No.
Give that duck a trench coat.
Although that would set up something, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's what it should be.
You're right.
That's what he wants.
That's what the Ninja Turtles did.
She just ripped them off wholesale.
Conduct yourself like a fucking Ninja Turtle.
Whoa, look at my shell.
Oh, you saw it.
And then they run away.
They were definitely flashers.
Yes, they would have to be.
Because they would wear those trench coats
and they'd go to the fucking 42nd Street
back in the day.
Yep.
Yeah.
In like 1989, you know what's going on.
They see their porno parodies.
And then they go outside.
and then they start flashing.
Yeah.
Well, there was only Raphael, though.
I think that's what Casey Jones was doing in that park.
There's some sort of flasher.
I've got to beat the shit out of him.
Oh, he's like a Flash Avenger?
Yeah, exactly.
I thought he's like,
you're getting in on my turf, other Flasher.
So this is kind of like the rudest part of the movie.
She's like, hey, I'll take you in,
alien that's like kind of scary to me,
but I'm going to be nice and lend a hand.
You save me from being murdered or whatever.
And he gets into the apartment.
and he's like, man, what a shithole.
You're just like, whoa, duck.
Yeah, that's a second.
It's pretty nice.
It's...
It's huge.
If you had to shout something.
No, it is. It's an awesome apartment.
I mean, you're paying like five large for this thing, man.
It's huge. It's a warehouse.
A, it's 1985.
B, it's Cleveland, and C, I'm pretty sure she has a drug problem in this movie.
Like, that's the only explanation.
fan theory coming through
I really think that in between scenes
this character is shooting up heroin
left and rides you go cool man
you can flop on my couch
duck oh man I made friends
last night with this talking
duck man
he's helping me write
songs man
hey Beverly Beverly why are you always
wearing long sleeve shirts
he's made a songwriting
I don't ask you what you do
on your off hours duck
I asked for the same thing back, man.
And she's just shooting toot the whole time.
I think.
You know what? It's unconfirmed.
So she's like, oh, you know, he tells his sob story.
He's like, I guess, like, this rich duck.
Like, he's like, oh, my parents sent me to duck medical school, but I dropped out,
and everyone wanted whatever for me.
Or like, because he wanted to pursue duck music.
Yes.
Yeah.
What was his man, Howard and the Heartbreakers?
And then he stopped.
became an ad copywriter
and she's like
oh man you're still down
you mind if I like this
but it's like
it's this crazy example
of duck privilege because he's like
he's like my parents were putting
me up through med school and I told them to
fuck off man and now
I'm a copywriter at this duck ad
agency and he holds up like a bottle
of perfume and gives this like
duck spiel about this perfume bottle
and I'm like man you got this perfume
account, this is a big deal
Don Draper thing.
Oh, man, yes.
Oh, my God, did you think he was in the...
Duck Draper?
No, he might...
He was in the Duck War and there was
another Howard the Duck that was his sergeant.
Maybe
this, like, who we know is
Howard was like, Dick the Duck.
And his dad was
kicked to death by a horse or...
Spoiler alert for, like, the first season of Madman,
just, just FYI.
I mean, if you're not cut up at this point.
Wait, no.
Would the Ducks and Duck World ride horses
or would something else evolve to fill that role?
Well, Planet of the Apes, they were riding horses.
That's true.
Yeah, I think horses are the constant throughout the universe.
We're not like riding Danny DeVito Centaur
at Danny DeVito World.
Holy fuck, if I had to go into battle.
Doing it on the back of a Danny DeVito centaur,
hey, Andrew, get on.
Let's take them down, like a hop from hell.
And Danny DeVito's like shooting arrows at the same time.
Fuck yeah, dude.
The body comes with everything.
This is the kind of beastiality I wanted to move.
Closer to Centar Saxon?
Santar Davito.
He was kind of a centaur on that Hercules movie, right?
He was like an imp or something.
Oh, I thought you were talking about taxi.
Well, yeah, he'd never get out of that booth.
Get on, the meters running.
I got horse legs back here.
Hey, Latka, fill my stable with hay.
Fucking starving.
Whatever.
But so she's like putting him to bed, right?
He's like, hey man, you can crash wherever.
So he like flops out.
And she goes through his wallet,
which is what you should do
if you bring a strange duck into your house.
Absolutely.
I mean, you know, stranger duck or otherwise.
Rifle through their things in general.
Get the backstory.
story. And it's like, you know, he's got
like a lot of pictures of, like, his family
and she feels bad, you know what I mean? And I tell you my
favorite duck photo? Oh, please.
It's not in his wallet, but you
just reminded me. So to add to
like the sob story of like he's about to commit
suicide at the beginning of this movie, you
see this like shot of like all of his
like family photos and whatnot. It's like
him as a kid and he's like driving a little like
duck tractor or something. And then his
parents are hugging him. And then there's just
I don't know, it's probably like his cool uncle.
There's just a duck
dressed up like a hippie
in like this field of weed
and this guy's got like a great smile
on his face and I was like
where's that movie
what is that dude's deal
was he in the comic
because I'll buy a fucking compendium
it's quack which is like the duck
version of blow essentially
he's like a duck Johnny Depp
is a duck Paul Rubin's like there's a lot
of yeah well he also has a
well I guess it would be
cool hand quack
picture where it's the two women
next to him
and he's like I'm having a great time
and then he actually faked it probably
oh yeah dude totally
so she's going through it she finds like it's credit card or whatever
like duckster card
there's a duck George Washington which
you know what man let's not even talk about
no I will talk about it because it's the
laziest piece of graphic design of the movie
it was just a dollar and you can see where some
intern taped a fucking bill over it
Oh, I thought it was Sharpie.
It might have been sharp.
Yeah, you get those doodles.
You get those funny people that doodle on money.
Good God, is that a wasted time?
Well, listen.
So you get this thing, and it's like, if you got this bill, Kevin did it.
They hate that shit.
Don't pass me that currency.
If there's an ape Lincoln, which there is.
It's confirmed there is an ape Lincoln.
And, you know, Planet of the Apes movies and shit.
Yeah.
You know, mostly shit.
Then there should be a duck Washington.
All right.
He cannot...
Different opinions on weirdies.
And Mallard Adams.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Played by Paul Diage...
I can't do it.
Oh, wow.
I almost had a seizure on stage
by trying to do that.
He blew it, PG.
He almost turned your name
into a duck joke.
He was this quack and close.
You know, I tried,
and the words just aren't coming out of my bill.
They're just not coming out.
You know, this is said in Cleveland.
Why isn't there Harvey P.
Oh, man.
Oh, yeah, Harvey Quack car, dude.
I rode it bus with Howard the Duck.
He's got a high voice.
He had a high voice.
So, yeah, Bob.
He's passed away.
I didn't make fun of it.
I pointed out that he passed away.
Paul Giamati's dead.
Oh, break.
No, you fucking dare.
You hold your bill, sir.
So Bob Crumb introduced me to a real.
cool cat named Howard the duck.
Check it out, man.
I took him with me to Letterman.
So while going through his wallet,
we have to address it,
she pulls out a condom.
And it's not just any old condom.
Because if it's any old condom,
you're not taking a hat off in public.
And by any old condom,
you mean a wrapped condom.
Yes.
Yeah, it's a loose prophylactic, man.
he's reusing that shit
where's Frank Oz
to be disgusted by this
when prophylactic
soiled
it's disgusting
you know George I saw your new movie the other night
I walked out of the duck condom scene
it just didn't make any sense
you know what else doesn't make any sense
this condom is shaped like an egg
why
now some guy on Twitter
I don't know if you're here someone tweeted
at me that apparently
duck penises are not like human ones.
I would think not.
What fucking scientist sent you
that information?
Is it Neil DeGrasse, Tyson?
Yeah, he finally got back to me.
He's fact-checking Howard the Duck.
Actually, if there was a duck world.
Well, the weird thing
is, like, she looks at it and she goes,
oh, Howard, which is not.
the appropriate reaction. No, it's...
No, she didn't
burn her hand off immediately, so...
But also, like, here's the thing.
If any of you, these are my
dearest friends on stage, if you guys found a
duck condom, and you didn't call me
immediately? Like, you have to
call everyone you know. Where would I
find a duck condo? That's...
Great question. Now, wait a second. You're saying
that... So, let's say it's me.
I'm in Beverly and the Cherry
Bonds. Sure, sure, sure. And so I finish
a gig, and then out in the rain, I meet a
duck who saves me from assault.
Sure. I bring this talking duck
home and I find an
egg-shaped loose condom in this
duck's wallet. You want me to
call you to tell you that I found a loose
condom in a wallet. Well, yeah.
Not, hey man, first things first, there's
a fucking talking duck at my house.
The condom is the first priority?
You lead with that and then I say
wait, what? And you're like, there's a talking
duck. That's how you grab the
attention. No, that is burying
the lead, friend.
Is that what Wizard Magazine did?
No, I think that was an
orgy, though, that month.
I don't know.
So, like, she takes him to
Tim Robbins, who's, like, a buddy of hers,
who's, like, a work set of whatever.
You know what? Here's the thing.
Okay. Here's the thing.
I love Tim Robbins.
I'm curious as to how much
the budget for this movie
was boosted by all the hospital
bills they had to take.
Tim Robbins in the emergency room to get his stomach pumped
from all the scenery that he was eating in this movie.
Whoa. I thought you were going to say something else.
No, no, no, I was not going to say anything else.
Scenery, okay.
Yeah, because this dude is chow and down.
Well, I think this is why Susan Sarandon said goodbye.
She said goodbye fucking 20 years later?
I think it was building up over the years.
That motherfucker was in Howard the Duck.
Yeah, I know he was in Mystic River, too.
But he was in Howard the Duck.
Flip it through the channels.
Oh, wait.
What's on Cinemax, Howard the Duck?
Oh, my God, my husband.
No.
No.
Wait, do you think Susan Sarandon has Cinemax?
Yep.
Susan Saranin has a fucking sick cable pack.
The fucking full gamut, man.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, HBO, Showtime, the works.
She's even got those stupid things like Showtime Extreme,
encore family.
She watches that pirate show they do.
That's on stars, right?
Yeah, that's how much Susan Sarandan loves
cable TV.
I was going to say, I was got fucking stars.
I was going to say, unfortunately, if you say
Pirate show, you have to explain yourself because there's about
500 of them now. Is that right?
Something like that. Yeah, well, you're the one that writes up
TV shows. That's true.
Pirate expert, Chris Cabin.
Remember that? Yeah, you said there's
a difference between gun pirates and sword pirates?
I did. You know the whole thing. Yeah, that was a real
controversy. It's an important
distinction to be made. Now, which kinds of
pirates are on that black sales program?
I think they're gun pirates.
But they dip into sword piracy.
Oh, that's why it got canceled.
Which are the ones in Orgy Magazine?
So, he, like, Tim Robbins is like, oh, man, it's the scientific discovery of a millennium and all this shit.
And, like, we go through duck evolution for a little bit.
He talks for a second, like a Donald Duck, like, oh, that's cute.
It is pretty cute.
And I was curious because at this point, he does, like, blah, blah, blah, that kind of thing.
That's terrible. That's fine.
But Mel Blank is credited
in this movie, and I was like, did they dub Tim
Robbins with Mel Blank, or
does Tim Robbins
do a really sick Daffy the duck?
We'll never know.
You've got to ask Jack Black for that.
Those two are tight. Jack Black
is your end to Tim Robbins, I think, is the idea.
These days, I would think so, yeah.
But it's so stupid. He's going through this duck evolution,
and I'm like, hey, man, I saw
the beginning of the movie.
This is for no one's benefit, but
Literally Leah Thompson.
Howard the duck knows the deal.
We've already seen naked ducks.
Yes.
Yeah.
What more do I need?
Also, are you really thinking I care about the backstory of this duck?
I've already seen him flying through space.
Yep.
I just don't need it.
I saw him almost masturbate.
I'm also curious, like, so there's a dinosaur, like, in Marrier Brothers, it's a dinosaur world.
You know what I mean?
Like, every time.
There's Danny DeVito world.
There might be a Tim Robbins planet.
that way is the Danny DeVito
planet kind of like the aliens from
Space Jam? Oh yeah
okay because
Danny DeVito's voicing one of those aliens
you guys come on
he's the one wearing the sandals like
your Greek landlord
a lot of people
living in Greek-owned buildings
I see I like that
at this point there's like a fake
breakup he's like I don't need
you baby and I'm like yes you do
you're gonna die
She's your only attachment to this planet you know nothing about.
And she's got a couch you can sleep on.
Dude, that's pretty sweet.
The only other person you know on this planet is busy chewing a hole in the wall.
I was going to say, you have to wipe off the needles off the bed every night.
Then it gets better.
It's a roof over your head at least.
We do get into Howard the Duck's wardrobe at this point because he goes for a job interview for some reason
because this movie needed to be an hour and 50 minutes long.
We did to see him go ahead.
That's a tragedy.
And he goes...
It's shorter than Star Wars.
Thank God.
All right, I have two requirements.
One, it has to be shorter than my last movie.
And two duck nipples.
I will not move on either of these things.
And I'll shoot with me as long as you want.
We're not moving.
Anything else, I don't care.
You can bring duckler back from the grave.
I don't give a shit.
You know, why aren't the duck breast-shaped?
like eggs. If everything else is shit. Yeah, that's a
great. You know what? Great question. It's a very
good one. It's a great question.
I mean, they just look like painted
grapefruits, so I don't...
They do. No, he's right.
It sounds like a great name. There's nothing else to say about it.
It sounds like a great name for a bar.
Painted grapefruit? That
no one would go to. Oh, hey, did you hear
painted grapefruits totally went out of
business?
But their grand opening was this morning.
Yep.
Painted grapefruits.
A girlfriend has a birthday party
on the 13th? Are you guys going to have room
for all these people? Nope, we will
be out of business on the 11th.
So he says, like, he talks about his,
he's got this cool outfit out and he's like,
oh man, I had to rob a goodwill
for this outfit, but he
has so many costume changes.
The outfits they put this duck in.
I mean, he mentions that he robbed
the children's section of a goodwill.
This is like the heist of the century.
Hey man, better movie, right?
Just some space duck robin goodwill's.
Oh, yeah.
Or, oh, listen, it's the Lathansa heise from Goodfellas.
Right?
But it's just, we're robbing this Goodwill.
And he's, like, yelling at these other ducks about wearing, like, fur coats,
driving pink duck Cadillacs.
I was thinking it was more like him and Tim Robbins than hell or high water.
Oh, wow.
Fuck, yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
A lot of good people died in that Goodwaters.
Will robbery duck.
My partner had a
family duck.
A bunch of used clothes flying out the back
of this car. Slow motion
into the breeze.
Doctor could get away with it too.
I knew it was the
duck banks money.
More of you have to see hell or high
water. It's a really good movie.
Then those jokes will play.
He goes back to the
club and Leah Thompson's
playing again. Question.
Yes.
Which band is better? The Cherry Boms
or Cassandra's band
in Wainsworth? The Cherry Bonds.
All right, let's a little
going to clap there. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Shh, shh.
So, all right, who thinks that
Cassandra from Wainsworth's band is better?
Okay.
Okay, okay, okay, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Why you want to
break my heart?
And the man in the backs is every
Everybody got in a turn to do a ballroom, let's ballroom.
All right, wait, so now, all right, hang on.
Sure.
Yeah.
What's the Beverly and the what?
The cherry bombs.
Oh, the cherry bombs.
Cherry bombs.
Oh, all right.
Well, it seems kind of even.
That seems like a dead tithe.
Okay, now, how about cold slither?
No.
What?
No, I think that one lost, Eric.
They're from G.I. Joe's.
Yeah, we know.
We know. We're aware.
They don't. We know.
The divide is on the stage.
So we meet her scummy manager, and he kind of gets into a big bar fight with Richard Edson and other people.
It's kind of fun.
Isn't Ruben Blades the other guy?
No, it's not Ruben Blades.
Oddly, there's a sign in this movie in an alley that just says Ruben Blades.
He was like a, I don't know, he was like friends with the production desires of them.
I think it was just a knife store.
you know it might have been a sign
indicating a knife store was nearby
or a deli
one or the other
either way I'm happy
that's all that matters to me man
he winds up
freeing her from this like oppressive
contract that she kind of talks about
and like to me the movie should be him
managing this band
you know what I mean like let's
he gets her a record contract
they cut an album
it's Josie and the Pussy Cats
with a cigar smoking
humanoid duck
What a great movie
Buy me two tickets
He locks her in the bathroom
for a weekend to get over the stuff
Yeah totally
Oh man you get like a crawling duck baby
Like train spotting
That'd be pretty cool right
Duck for life
I don't know
Maybe that's in T2 20 years later
Or whatever they're calling that thing
and yeah
but it sort of takes a turn at this point
because like
it's a different movie
well first we kind of have to talk about the almost
sex scene
oh man is this fucking hot or what
or what man or what
it's fucking hot it's this and basic
instinct and that's it
so she goes
they go back to Leah Thompson's place
and like she's all messed up
it's a Wednesday night because she's like
Letterman's coming on in two minutes
Oh, man, I always try to be in bed for Letterman, man.
That's how I know I got to piss out.
Take me to bed, Dave.
I got to be asleep before the top ten, or I won't get up in the morning.
Oh, man, tears the fears as the musical.
That would be pretty cool.
But she's like, oh, how the duck buys, in this heist,
gets a full-on wardrobe, like pajamas, a robe.
If you are desperate for clothing
and you're going to rob the children's section of a goodwill
You take what you can get
And you get out of there
Yes
You're not like, you know, I might be sleeping over at some lady's house
I need some PJs
And a house robe
I haven't had pajamas in like 15 years
This duck is walking around better than me
Oh, he's definitely walking around better than me
And he's somehow found pajamas
with ducks on them?
Yeah, that was fortunate.
What luck.
I want pajamas with people on them.
A couple of nice little naked guys.
Just a bunch of people shaking hands.
Oh, yeah, yeah, man.
People looking at their phones, checking Twitter.
Just this audience.
Yeah.
That'd be good pajamas.
Eric's like, I would love you all on my pants.
And then I'll write the words juicy over you.
Put it on my bottom.
Those are pants I've never understood.
Well, actually, speaking of juicy,
we get some Howard the Duck twerking for a second.
Howard the Duck, what, I'm sorry?
Twerking.
Twerking.
He's like dancing.
He starts, like, riffing because he was, you know,
he's a music star back on Duck World.
And, like, he's like, oh, I'm feeling the beat.
And his ass is jiggling.
And I'm like, what am I watching?
Leah Thompson comes into the room,
and she's just, like, staring at him for her.
Like, that's my man.
Yeah.
Yep. You're totally right.
Just do it. Just keep doing it.
Because she's like, hey Howard, let's go to bed.
And she's like very scantily clad at this point.
It's like, okay, it's a real I got kids here.
Okay?
Because it's a 1986 Leah Thompson walks in.
This robe is open, man.
This robe is open.
And this duck is there in child's pajamas.
It gets worse than worse.
Signals.
And like he hops into bed with her.
And like he kind of makes like a joke.
like, oh, we should have duck sex, quack, quack, quack.
And then she's, like, apparently joking back to him,
but she, like, starts, like, feeling him up.
No, she's like, yeah, okay.
It's not a joke, man.
This is, they're getting, she's trying to get it.
It's weird, because she, like, slips her hand in his duck pajamas,
and he's, like, rubbing his duck nipples.
He gets a feather erection.
Yeah, we see that happen.
It just goes, like, br-dr-w-low.
It would be great if she puts her hand,
and he's like, oh, God, I touched a nipple.
No, you know what?
this is going to work.
I really didn't expect you to have duck nipples.
Oh, my God.
What is, what is this under your feather?
Oh, my, oh, my God.
And then she spends the rest of the movie at her mother's house cleaning out.
You know what it means?
Just getting clean for a bit.
Yeah, totally.
You got to dry out, dude.
Mm-hmm.
But no, Tim Robbins and the third act of Jeffrey Jones show up.
And here's how you know your movie's in trouble, right?
where I'm sitting there, and I'm like, man,
where is Jeffrey Jones?
You know, I see the opening credits.
It's Leah Thompson.
Ed Gale is a duck,
a suited duck, right?
And then they tell me Jeffrey Jones, right?
So I'm watching the clock.
Where's Jeffrey Jones?
Well, that's what the authorities were asking.
They, too, were watching a clock.
Tonight, a Hollywood actor,
with a red mustache.
Maybe you could help solve a mystery.
You know him from films such as Beetlejuice
and Howard that, no, you don't know that one.
He was the dad in Beetlejuice.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
He has a small part in Humphor Red October.
You military fellows will know that one.
Look at my trench coat.
He also wears one.
Fucking stack, man. What a genius.
He shows up and they're like
They interrupt this situation
We get some shadow play though
Yeah there is well because he's like
Oh she's like oh I was just joking Howard
That way like the MPAA is okay with this movie
Yeah I was just joking Howard
Let's just make out
Let's shuffle away from this NC17 real quick
You know what Howard let's just keep it to some over the close business
No
Correct
I know you know that's what we're saying
It's disgusting
Well, I was, Stephen, I was watching Fritz the cat the other day
and I was like, why isn't this in three dimensions?
I need three dimensions.
I mean, I was fine with two.
It got the job done.
Oh, man.
Whatever.
He jerks off the cartoons, maybe.
And they're like, oh, my God, and Jeffrey Jones throws up, which takes a lot.
Yeah, I was like, wow.
You even got him.
All right.
So they basically run the facility that had the laser or whatever,
and nobody cares because they're like, manage that band.
Well, this explanation, I don't know, we need Neil deGrasse Tyson for this.
Yeah, is this possible?
What's the deal?
There's a laser.
Yeah.
And they point it into the outer space, and they shoot it, and it brought back a duck.
I don't even know, like, what is the original intention of this experiment?
I don't know.
Catching ducks.
Duck laser.
catch him in bed with a duck
that's what fucking Jeffrey Jones did
he walked in
he's like I caught him in bed with a duck
oh infoducks
dot com
Info duck
deastiality
Alex duck for infiducks
dot com
yeah that's right I do advise
the president
my name is prison duck
I don't leave my house
prison lake
white duck
genocide is happening
so I don't even know
where the hell we are in this movie
the laser
and space yes yes yes yes
yeah that laser that makes no sense
and they're like oh can I say one quick
and it's another gross thing about this movie
oh please so I don't know what the deal was
with the special effects department in this movie
but you see this like laser portal
that opens or whatever it's like footage from
a colonoscopy yeah
it's just like pink ribbed
tube
Okay, there's going to be three conditions.
The last one is a ribbony tube that he goes through
that reminds you quite a lot of an anus.
I have some pictures here for you.
Just a sampling.
It's kind of like a book of carpet squares.
Maybe it was a cut scene, and they're like, well, we cycle that footage.
I call it my lookbook.
Wait, it was a cut scene from George Lucas's colonoscopy?
How much blue screen was in that?
D-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-la-da-da-ha clean.
Wow, what a wretched hive's got a good-a-old.
Yeah, wow, two-star.
You shouldn't applaud that.
Oh, why not?
So they're like, we're going to send you home, Howard.
The laser works both ways for some reason.
He's like, yeah, sure, why not?
You just made this shit up, sure, whatever.
So they drive back, and there's, like, this off-screen accident that happens,
and, like, everybody's dead.
It's not treated appropriately, though, first of all.
Because they're like, oh, let's open the door to this science facility,
and the dude walks out with a melting face.
And he's like, don't go in there! Whatever he did!
And Howard's just like, man, that's unfurred.
fortunate.
And they just walk by and this guy just melts
or something.
I don't know.
Poor bastard. They find out
the cops show up for some
reason and Strip Howard the duck
down. And surprise, surprise.
Now there's a dark overlord
inside Jeffrey Jones.
Nobody saw that.
That's some excuse, Jeffrey.
And he will say anything.
The Dark Overlord made me do it.
And I don't know, man.
Like, you know, this turns into the movie now.
It's like he's like kind of changing
in terms of to kind of a Jeffrey Jones body horror movie a little bit.
All of a sudden, David Cronenberg took over.
It's going to say.
It's disgusting.
There's like a giant tentacle that comes out of his mouth.
Oh, yep.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
four conditions.
I just thought of one more.
I just love thinking up conditions.
But they go to this diner,
and we get the longest fucking diner scenes
since Reservoir Dogs.
I was going to say since fucking diner.
How many ducks is that?
You replace Dix with ducks.
Yeah, yeah. That's it.
Every day, duck, duck, duck, duck.
I used to listen to
Madad Duck. I like the early stuff
like borderline. Wouldn't it be
Maduka? Oh, Maducca
might be it. Yeah. But they're at this diner
and like it takes forever. Jeffrey
Jones is telling you the whole goddamn movie
and you're like, can I leave?
Can I just leave? By the way
they're sitting down for this
this detente.
That's one way to call it, yeah.
At Joe Roma's
Cajun sushi.
Well, you got to
remember Chris Cabin.
Sure.
This is 1986.
We are smack dab in the middle of America's panic with Japanese cuisine.
But also to call it cage and sushi, it's like, oh, wait, you know, Stephen, there's some people
in the back not throwing up yet.
So what?
You would wrap, like, fried?
Gotta catch them all, Stephen.
It's like just raw tuna with, like, old bay season.
Well, I thought it would be rice.
Yeah, it's disgusting.
Rice wrapped around fried alligator, and then for the Roma just, like, put, like, put, like,
like spaghetti sauce on it.
Oh, yeah.
It's fusion.
It's just raw gumbo.
And like...
Any way you slice it, it's disgusting.
It's a stupid joke that this movie made.
For those you that saw the movie,
anybody noticed Barb from Stranger Things as the waitress?
That was nice.
That was a nice twist for Barb.
I thought it was Jennifer Jason Lee.
It could have been, too.
Or maybe her aunt or something.
Janet Jason Lee.
And then, like, so everyone's like, oh, hey, there's a fucking human duck in this restaurant, right?
And this is one of those, like, oh, it's got to be a kid in a Halloween costume.
But he's, like, asking for a beer, and he's lighting up things kids shouldn't do.
He asked for the special.
He gets eggs.
That's a fun joke.
He starts, he's like, what am I a cannibal?
And I was like, what am I caring about this?
Let's fucking get to it.
Jeffrey Jones has a demon inside of him.
Address that.
Yeah, it's a space demon.
Now, is that tied to Event Horizon at all?
Oh, you know what?
Yeah, we might have opened the gates of hell.
Yeah, it's a shared cinematic universe.
And Tim Robbins is just in a big dome with bloody eyes.
I am beyond the ducks.
Tim Robbins is busy folding paper and putting a pencil through it.
I think you can explain a lot of things in movies if you just, like, do that thing.
And then you have other characters like, oh, yeah.
You bend the...
He folded the paper and did the pencil through you.
Why are you divorcing me?
you bend the feather of time and space
that's right
Neil de duck Tyson
to duck Tyson
he's a duck that ruins things for everyone
he's like oh no there's fun let me just
fucking start tweeting
quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack
would his avatar
like just be that thing if you don't have a picture on Twitter
oh oh the egg
In Duckworld, it doesn't mean
like you're an anonymous racist
It just means you're
It just means you're in duck world
They all have
And like he's got the
Jeffrey Jones has like the dump sweats
This whole scene
You know like he's just really
And his voice too
His voice is holding in a shit voice
I will kill everyone
That's coming here
I just want a beer
And a place to sit
This is also possibly where Mel Blanks doing some voiceover work.
Also possible. Yeah, we got to figure this out.
Also, like, hey, Mel, you can do like Daffy Duck and like a thousand other voices
because you do like Jeffrey Jones with the shit sweats.
Oh, you can because you're a genius?
Perfect.
I was going to say, the further he gets along here, Steve, does he not look like he could,
if not for the troubles?
You know, he says that a lot.
A lot.
Could he not be a brainiac?
Oh, you could have been a pretty good brainiac.
Oh, he would have been a rad brainiac, yeah.
Definitely.
Not too bad.
This kind of devolves into the monsters
are on Maple Street because everyone
goes mad.
It's one thing if you're like, oh, there's a duck.
That's so weird. Let's call the police.
They're like, let's cook it up.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
Because this thing is like talking
and clearly has feelings.
Like, let's cut its fucking head off.
And this, aren't you tempted?
I mean, a little bit.
I'm tempted from the first.
scene of the movie. I wanted
him to commit suicide.
Cook him up. What? Cook him up.
Cook them up. No, well that's, I mean, this is a blood
thirsty, these Hicks get, man.
Because they lay this thing down on a table.
They didn't even take his clothes off. They're
like seasoning him and they put a fucking celery
stick in his mouth. They're ready
to go. They're pouring salt all over
his crotch. Yes, they are. Which is
disgusting. They eat his clothes?
Yeah. Those are human clothes.
That doesn't even make any sense. Oh, but you know what?
They're hot from the goodwill so they taste.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah, you know what?
Howard the Duck didn't do that, like, traditional,
what you should do always.
You got to wash it first, right?
Oh, yeah.
How the Duck's going to get big, but...
Yeah.
Howard the Duck with crabs?
That'd be, like, duck crabs.
That's awesome.
Yeah, that'd be great.
I mean, he's...
That had another dimension to this
if he was, like, combating an STD.
Well, that with the band manager...
Yes, that's more.
That would fit.
It all fits.
You know what?
Because he's definitely getting an STD.
At least one.
So Jeffrey Jones
starts zapping people
with fucking force lightning
because George Lucas just had it
in his house.
Like, come on over to the ranch, man.
I can get you lightning
coming out of fingers.
I got that.
I got lightning coming out of my ass.
Come on over here.
You want a blue or green?
I can do both.
And he has both.
That's what I was confused.
I was confused.
I was like, is this a bad guy or a good guy?
Um, the rest of this movie is like, uh, he kidnaps Leah Thompson because, of course, he does, right?
And then, uh, Howard the Duck tries to go after her with Tim Robinson.
We get in this gyrocopter or whatever.
This is so long.
It's so long.
It's like at least...
It's the entire The Leopard.
It's like a three-hour Italian film.
Yeah, sorry, everybody.
Yeah.
Come on.
Yeah, it's probably really like 20 minutes.
Fine. Godfather, too.
Yeah.
Uh, yeah, no, you know what?
need it's this fucking puppet in a gyrocopter.
You know, I know what Launchpad McQuack is.
And that dunts
does it a lot better.
You, sir, are no Launchpad McQuack.
Man, if you ever hear that, you're failing
at something hard.
I wish that laser pointed to the Duck Suburbs
of Duckburg and brought Launchpad
are someone more interesting than Howard.
Oh, you know what? In Duck World, by the way,
would you have a parody film
called, like, Launchy,
it's like this duck has
to land a plane on a river
directed by Clint Duckwood
Oh no I got an alcohol problem
Miracle on the pond
I was gonna say that'd be more emotionally
compelling because he has to kill all the geese
Oh wow
I'm fucking sorry
Oh dude they'd hang him for that
They would hang you for that
Duck World oh that'd be a great ending
Sully should have got hanged at the end of that
that man might be a hero
I don't know I didn't see that movie
I didn't either but I just want
Oh is that the tagline
Sully he might be a hero
Watch and find out
By this on standard definition DVD
And give it to your dad for Father's Day
I don't
None of us was like
That's the only way you're watching that movie
None of us were there man
He might have fucked with that plane
Just to like make it look like he's a hero
I'm just imagining
they have to take out
a warehouse
and there's just all these duck body bags
lined up on the rows
It'd be great
They're all going to restaurants
Oh man, you went darker than I do
Jeffrey Jones goes to a nuclear power plant
and promptly must give Leah Thompson cancer
Right? He opens this thing
And I was like, you know I saw Spock do this one time
killed that motherfucker right quick man duck spock
oh duck spock dude yeah yeah there's gotta be
little long and quackspur star ducks and shit like that
yeah oh totally oh you it's all there thinking of the whatever
the the star trek thing he has like weird little hand pads
I don't like the hand pads like why doesn't he just have like a fully feathered hand
hand he's got these like little like monkey handpies
well listen dude how is he going to pleasure himself with just two fucking wings
I think then you just slap it
Well you know what Chris Cabin you crack the case
Moving on
I forgot what Big Bird had
Did he have hands or did he have wings?
Oh he's got hands
He's got hands?
Yeah
So he masturbates
Off hours of course
Clearly
Well he struggles every day
I mean
With what?
Just it, you know what I mean?
Yeah
You know what Steve I get you man
my question about that nuclear reactor scene
is like Jeffrey Jones is just wearing a suit
and it says like visitor
I was like can I just go to like Indian point
and be like give me the tour
show me around for a little bit
show me how this thing works
but you've already got a cling on forehead
and are profusely sweating
you are minute by minute looking more like
John Carpenter somehow
no offense of the mass
of horror, but this is what they're dolling them up
like, I don't know. Or Albert
Einstein, if you will. A little bit, yeah.
I've got Doc Brown hair at some point. He does
have Doc Brown hair, yeah.
It's gross. He's like
slimy like a gremlin or something.
He does totally look like a gremlin
at some point. They wind up,
I mean, this gyrocopter scene goes
for, they're falling, they're not falling, they're
on the water, they're not on the water.
There is some, there's some, like, really precarious
like live action stunts of this part
right here, because, like, Tim Robbins has to
fix the stupid thing and Howard
the Duck's an idiot so he
he like jerks the wheel and Tim Robbins
falls so he's like hanging upside down like dangling
and whatnot and I was like man can you imagine
if you're the stunt man on this movie
you fucking died making
Howard the Duck
oh Jesus Christ
it's like oh yeah this movie's dedicated
to Bill
Howard the Duck for you Bill
we miss you brother
wait my poor husband died while
yelling at a duck Muppet
a duck it
you know that sounds a little bit indignified honestly
yeah no it's a little bit
it's a really shitty way to go
and you know like whatever
we get to the final ish battle here
he's got
Leah Thompson strapped to a table
we love looking at her legs in this movie
the camera's like eh
hi kids oh let's go up
slowly move it up
one one
One?
Oh, there's the thigh.
It's kind of like the end of like a bad Bond movie.
Yeah, there's a superfluid.
She's literally laying under a laser.
And, you know, then it's like there's a big explosion, and they're like, oh, hey, that
monster got knocked out of Jeffrey Jones' body.
And you're like, wait, what?
Wouldn't he just explode?
That's the thing.
Jeffrey Jones makes it to the credits of this film.
which he needs to be like a fucking skin sack
like a pile of shit on the floor.
You do that, and they show this thing and it's like
a big weird hairy house
what was that? Harry Houser. Ray Hary Houser.
Yeah. Scorpion type of nasty
thing. And it's like that came out of
his body. How is he not
just like painting the walls? He just burst open
like a water balloon. Yeah.
They should show that.
He looks like a shitty men and black thing.
You know what I mean? I think this is where men
in black got it from. Oh, okay. Oh, you think
so? Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised.
Doesn't Vincent DiCaprio, like, just turn into a fucking skin sack, though?
Yeah, he's got dump sweats in that movie, too.
Yeah, yeah.
But men in black's more realistic.
It is more grounded in generally.
Yeah, so there's like big, like, it's like a scorpion.
I was like, you know, you boiled this thing and, like, cracked its shell open, they ate it with some butter.
Oh, my God, that'd be great.
Maybe something.
That's cancer.
If Tommy Lee Jones shows up at the edge of, sorry, I'm late, Doc, you're going to jail.
Oh, man.
And then he's like, you got the.
The wrong alien.
There's like this giant beast behind them.
He doesn't notice.
But then Agent K knows him.
Oh, the Dark Overlord?
Oh, yeah, he's all right.
Oh, yeah. Oh, it's been $20 for a poker game.
He was so cool in those movies, man.
He knew all sorts of aliens.
He did.
Ball Chilians, too.
Tons of Balchianians, man.
Out the ass.
And so, yeah, this huge laser knocks the thing
out of Jeffrey Jones.
Later, spoiler alert,
this same laser
destroys the scorpion monster completely.
Well, what else is it going to knock out of it?
It's not a Russian doll.
Maybe it's just a heart.
Oh, it's heart just plopped out of it?
He should just turn to dust the first time.
Like, you know what I mean?
No more Jeffrey Jones
and three more schools open.
They can reopen.
They're like, all right, good.
That guy's a pile of dust now.
We could reopen these school.
You want to position it so it's like a joke, right?
this big like stupid thing comes out
and you're like
everyone's like shitting their pants right
and then it's like oh no it can't breathe oxygen
it turns to dust and you're like
that's the gag Howard the duck
but then there are more
coming through the vortex
oh right the colonoscopy footage opens up
again they're going right down Glenn Beck
thank you ten years ago
man and it's like
they all just look the same it's the same model
like three times
Come on, George, Lucas, you populated that bar with all those gleepeclops?
Oh, God, we're kind of taking a bath on this one.
Look, just redouble.
I know we had all these designs, but we're running out of money.
I can't find the fucking werewolf from the canteen.
You're just going to have to double up on the scorpion monster.
They're like walking in place.
It is total garbage.
And you know what, Harry Housen was still kicking around, man.
Could have got him.
You want to do like some stop motion shit?
hire that man. Hire him. Hire
him good. I just imagine you would just say
No. I will do Jason the Argonauts. I will not
do this. Oh, duck nipples,
huh? Yeah, I'm busy.
Sounds great though.
I don't know why you put duck nipples on the pitch
sheet, but since you did, I'm busy.
And like, you know,
he wins the day, big surprise,
but he also destroys the laser. He shoots
a laser with another laser.
That's pretty nifty.
which means he can't go back home
oh no oh the ultimate sacrifice
that's so sad that's so sad
but don't worry because he reinvents himself as the manager
of this kick-ass rock and roll band
that's what I wanted
the whole time
it's like the last ten minutes of this movie you're like
oh this is what it should have been
because they don't explain out all because they're playing
these like blues brothers bars where there's like
fucking cages in front of them and whatnot
and then the end of the movie they're in like an arena
and you're like wait a second how did you get
so popular? I don't know.
Is he that good of a manager?
I think they made the full movie and then they were like,
eh, it doesn't have any action.
Oh, it's also almost two hours.
So, but the thing is, he gets out and he starts
rocking too, and I think that they give
him the same guitar they gave Michael J. Fox.
It's like a tiny guitar.
It's like, here you go, man.
And he's doing some ACDC moves while he's doing it.
He's rocking the duck out, dude.
It's a short and small guitar center.
It's like for you...
Duck people, Michael J. Fox, Danny DeVito, Mugsy Bokes goes there.
Well, you're right. Mugsy Bokes can play guitar.
Oh, he can wail, man. You've never seen it.
No, that's awesome.
Yeah, no.
Good for Mugsy, man.
Got to do something in retirement.
He was a short basketball player.
As it turns out.
There it is. Sorry. Crack that for you.
And I mean, so like the end of this movie, they confirm once again that there was some
beastiality going on because
oh yeah because it's like they
play their number we're singing Howard the Duck which like
you're out there singing a song about yourself
come on man some shallow
shit and then they go
backstage and she's like oh duckie
she's called him Duckie this whole movie by the
which you're making me think of John Cryer which
and then you're making me think of 16 candles
or pretty pink rather you know
Oh man a planet of John Cryer
Oh yeah it couldn't
procreate no one would have sex with each other
and we're like ew I
I look like John Cryer at you, so do I.
Ugh, uh.
And then the end of this movie is like, she's down,
like they both just played this sick solo,
and she's like, you did it, Ducky.
And they're like, eh, fade to black.
Dude, you know that's going on.
Totally.
Of course.
Make it out.
Every night.
Every night, not just make it out.
Jack Valetti was like,
stop the film!
No!
You better fucking fade to black, Lucas.
this fucking trash
I'm Jack Goddamn
Valenti the king of Hollywood
He was probably upset by it
A little bit
That's the end of the movie
Yeah
That's Howard the Duck
Yeah
Now as we do
We like to find some
You know fans of films
You know
So we'll get to some
Some reviews here in a second
We gotta start wrapping up
I want to thank all you guys
for coming on out.
Thank you, everybody.
You've been awesome.
I thank the Bell House for having us.
Round of applause.
Thank you.
We got some Chris Walton
design posters there in the back.
Our good friend Josh is selling them.
Stop by. Say hi to one of the best working
voice actors in the biz.
He might do a voice for you or he might just sell you a poster.
I don't know. By the way, this is a little
inside info. This is Chris Cabin's
start screen. I mean,
like... Oh, shit.
Password ducted
No, it's Fidelio
The password is Fidelio
If you need to get back in their laptop
Can you pull up his history please?
Oh, you're fucking finished cabinet
You've tried Fidelio
All right, so we'll leave you with a couple of things here
People like saying things on the internet here
So let's see
So the first one here
So five stars
Great movie
just about
everyone can enjoy
just about
by Christopher
what
was this or was this not you
wasn't
Fidelio
okay
many people watching Howard the Duck
probably wouldn't guess
it was originally a Marvel
comic book series to begin with
well it says I write at the beginning of the film
so if you can read
I think you're fine
Stanley didn't weasel his way into this movie
by the way. He let no credits.
I want nothing to do with you, Mighty Marvelite.
So I was smoking a joint, and I said, that's a terrible
idea.
So I was smoking a joint in a public park
feeding the ducks, and I said, you shouldn't fuck these things.
But I did say, I wonder if they got tits.
You know what? I'm not stealing this one.
Let them have the credit.
This is a fun movie.
Part comedy, part action.
And all fun.
Fun, fun, fun, man.
Many people hate on Howard for reasons
I never could figure out.
But I've always liked this movie,
just because it's a lot of fun to watch.
Oh, fun.
Yeah, it's fucking fun, man.
And that's your five-star movie?
Five stars.
I liked it, five stars.
I couldn't muster past fun,
but it's the most stars I could give it.
I paused when I took a piss.
Five stars.
The file worked.
Five stars.
So this one of varying legitimacy.
You guys can decide.
Five stars.
Again.
All caps, finally.
By S. Fernandez.
That's not me either.
No, that was not you.
No, that was you.
No, that wasn't.
Too often, we will offer one really,
too often a movie
will offer one really
strong characteristic.
Like the script in showgirls,
the martial arts in Miami
Connection,
and the wigs in the man in the iron mask.
I thought the wigs in
Amadeus were pretty sharp.
What about the man in the iron mask?
Leo was looking okay.
Is that the one
you think he means? Were there other ones?
I think everybody's wearing a wig in that movie.
My God.
No, I mean, is there another man in the Iron Mask
with, like, Gerard Depp Ard?
Oh, no.
There might be.
You never know.
That guy should always wear a mask.
But then fall flat in other arenas.
Not true of this gem.
Great hair.
That's true.
That's true.
That's fucking true.
That is fucking true.
Great costumes.
This duck's got like 15 outfits that he stole.
That tiger.
jacket's pretty sharp.
Intense action.
Debatable.
Oh, this is gross.
Steamy romance.
I mean, if you're into that
sort of thing.
A sci-fi theme.
Sure. Sure.
Alien from another planet. Nailed it.
And music that will make you want to dance, dance,
dance. I agree with
one point. One point I agree with.
There's just the first dance? Yeah, no, all the
dance. Oh, I thought it was a steamy romance.
Well, the hair, too, right?
I agree with the hair. Yeah, hair and dance.
I'm dancing. All right.
The refreshing
underlying takeaway,
namely that beastiality should
be an accepted part of our society.
No, no.
Rings loud and clear.
Why didn't they fuck?
I like the idea of something.
one watching Howard the Duck finding it to be too vanilla?
Like, who made this movie? The Catholic Church? I mean, my God.
I got to see those duck tits, but no duck dick.
I could use duck dick.
You know one thing, George Lucas.
This movie is going to use some duck dick.
Got a lot of duck tits in it, but not a dingling dangling duck dick.
I mean, ah.
What's going on down there?
Bring me, Duck Diggler.
Well, I have a lot.
Duck Diggler!
Yes!
Yes!
Nailed it.
Where are all the sequels and prequels
to this national treasure?
We are We Hate Movies, everybody.
Thanks a lot for coming out.
We'll see you next time.
Bye-bye.
I don't know.
That was a hit gum podcast.
