Starting point is 00:00:00 Today on the program, it's one of the most bizarre choices to call a Christmas film I've seen in some time. It's Pottersville. I'm Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sasquatch. Chris Cabin. And I'm Eric Sasquatch, Steve's brother. And we hate Pottersville. Hello, everyone. Welcome to the program. Thank you for tuning in. As always, get in that Christmas spirit. Oh, fuck with Pottersville. Eric, did I steal your joke? Were you going to do sad? No, I didn't. I actually, I admired it so much that I just jumped, just did it again. Because you are in parlance around here called the Sasquatch a bit. That's right.
Starting point is 00:01:05 What happened? Somebody called you, looked at your last name once and it was like, oh, that Sasquatch guy is covered. I forget the store. I think that was like college lore, maybe. It was not,
Starting point is 00:01:15 it wasn't like a customer service thing or something. Oh, yes, maybe. It was like, Eric Sasquatch. Yeah. No, I think it was, I think it was someone I was working with that was in a different city
Starting point is 00:01:28 that would just call me on the phone and be, oh, that's right. It was when you're working for CMT, I think. I think so. Yes. Okay, so that would, okay, let's go back in time. That would date it around 2007. Uh-huh. 2007. Well, a 10-year-old nickname. That's kind of crazy. Well, anybody with a Polish name has to be part Sasquash. It's true. They're all Neanderthal. It's in the folklore of Harry Neanderthals. So before we get to Pottersville, which is from this year, directed by Seth Henrickson. Kind of an emergency episode
Starting point is 00:02:01 a little bit. A little bit of emergency episode. I saw this and was like, what the fine? Let's get going. It's now on Netflix. It's also on Amazon. I mean, you should know that.
Starting point is 00:02:12 You should just know that. You should just know that. Aren't you all just big Judy Greer heads or what? I'm a huge Judy Greer head. But before we get to my Judy Greer fandom, a bit of business up front of the top of the program, some changes coming to the We Hate Movies,
Starting point is 00:02:27 Patreon. Steve, take it away. first of all, it's our anniversary episode. We do these but once a year. Oh, fuck! Like any anniversary, actually. Is this our eighth anniversary or seven? We went on the air in 2010.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Christ. That's eight. So that's eight. And to celebrate, we are changing up our very successful Patreon. It's very successful. It's huge.
Starting point is 00:02:53 It's tremendous. It's the best. I say very successful because we were really appreciative of everyone that's signed up. this year and last. Amazing people. We're changing it up a little bit. All of the tiers exist.
Starting point is 00:03:04 So I'm going to go through all the tiers as they exist. For $2, you get the Big Daddy Dispatch. That's a mail that is a newsletter about what's going on in We Hate Movies. We'll get some little reviews there, some funny stories. People like it. People love it. It's a newsletter that's mailed through the internet. And then for $3, you get the perennial animation damnation, the first offshoot of We Hate Movies.
Starting point is 00:03:29 For $8, you would get all of the tiers below it, plus what's called The Nexus, which is where we do one episode of Star Trek, the original series and one episode of The Next Generation, have some fun with it, a lot of fun impressions on that. And also the commentaries in that same tier. And this month, I believe, Rambomentary is now. Rambomentary, if it's not out, it'll be out this week.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Syncable commentaries, people love those things, and that's been what it is. And those commentaries are for a year, by the way. way. For a year. Quadrenial. And we're like, you know what? This is really cool. But in thinking it through where we're like, you know, people love this we hate movies thing. And then we don't give you more we hate movies on the Patreon. It's like, oh, man, I love your hamburgers, sir. Five guys, I love your hammers. Oh, cool. Come on over. I'll give you a chicken sandwich. It's like, yeah, but it's a group chicken sandwich. I'll tell you what. You got to come to the shack and we'll make you a secret hot dog in the back. One time, I'll tell you what, one time I went to a red Robin burger establishment. I got myself a chicken sandwich. Sure. It was pretty good. And that's what I think we got.
Starting point is 00:04:33 So you don't try the chicken. The $8 level is fantastic. They're all amazing chicken sandwiches. But we're giving you a hamburger this time around. We are now introducing a $5 level, people. For $5 dollars, what you're going to get is a bonus episode of We Hate Movies a Month. You will, no matter what we will do, what's going to be kind of you might also like. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:58 The idea is it'll be somehow tied into one episode of the month. So, like, for, let's say, Snipesgiving, we probably would have released Passenger 57, as you might also like. For this month, we would have found, I don't know, maybe a weird Michael Shannon movie that, maybe that. Or we might have actually watched Christmas Vacation, too. Oh, yeah, there you go. Exactly. It'll either be thematically, it might be the actor, it might be a sequel. Like, we could be one of those weird.
Starting point is 00:05:23 This is not like one of our shorter bonus shows. No, it's a full episode. It'll be an episode. full episode. And big point of information here. These will be, we hit movies, they will be canon, they will be prime episodes, along with the episode number
Starting point is 00:05:38 that will never be released to the public. Wow. Yeah. But we are, we also will be tossing out the 10-year rule. Yes. Oh yeah. Right. Anything goes. You might also like it. Anything goes. So we're starting in January, so there's going to be an extra movie
Starting point is 00:05:54 released in 2017 besides Potter's film. So, because as you know, we do our worst of the year or month in January, and there's going to be a special. We're not going to say it yet, a special episode on that Patreon feed. And we might even throw in the entire archive there, because some people want to have it on the go there. But, you know, we're working on it.
Starting point is 00:06:16 No, yeah. We're thinking about it. We're working on it. That's a guarantee. We're going to do that. We just have to figure out how to do that logistically. Yeah, whether it's like all of the catalog at once or maybe like an episode a day. until it's fully uploaded
Starting point is 00:06:29 because we don't want to maybe in and date your feeds. I don't really know how it's going to work it. None of us do in this room. But the W.HM. Archive, so years of full episodes, like one through 108 or whatever it is, whatever
Starting point is 00:06:42 occurred before Boondock Saints 2. And they will be clean as in they will be ad free because there's never an ad on Patreon. Nope. And yeah, so they'll be clean. I don't know what the content of the jokes are. They'll be terrible. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:06:57 I warn you now you should probably not listen. Listen to it with your 2010 ears on. Exactly. Know that we are people that are always trying to better ourselves. And as we said, we've been on the air since 2010. And so now to go back to the tier, so basically for the $2 level, you get the Big Daddy Dispatch. You love that. For the $3 level, you get animation, damnation, and the Big Daddy Dispatch.
Starting point is 00:07:20 For the new $5 level people, you'll get one new prime episode a month. you will get the animation, the Big Daddy Dispatch, and the archive when we figure that out, which will probably be in January. We're really shooting for that. The episode will drop in January no matter what. And then for the $8 level, you're going to get the nexus, the commentaries, the prime episode, the animation, damnation, the Big Daddy dispatch, and the archive. So, like, as you go up, that's how to Patreon works.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Patreon is the best way to support this show. We have been bold over by your guys' generosity, continuously shocked and surprised and gracious for your gratitude. And now here's the thing. Like, let's just the flipping elephant in the room. We would love to do this five days a week. Sure. Right now, we see Patreon as the best and strongest way to help us get there, which is why we're trying to expand it as much in our very busy schedule as we can cram in more content. So, you know, hey guys, we understand the sitch with everybody's personal.
Starting point is 00:08:22 finances, baby. Don't worry about that. Just know that we are trying to put out more content for you in the effort that someday we can just do this. Yeah. And have that be the thing. And honestly, like, yeah, any support is always great. You're still going to get your main episodes. You're still going to get on screens. You're still going to get mailbags. All that's going to be free for everybody forever. Mm-hmm. Well, so we'll see forever, for the incredible immediate future. No, forever. But, you know, this is the way. So we appreciate that we appreciate your tweets we appreciate any kind of fandom you give us but the patreon is really the thing that really kind of floats our boat these days so that's that now pottersville
Starting point is 00:09:01 from 2017 like i said directed by set hendrickson and also did you catch this executive producer michael shannon that's oh i did oh i missed that one like what a passion project it's it's it's the only reason this movie exists is michael shannon being like you know i'm a really nice guy like everyone is terrified. I could play Jimmy Stewart. Yes, exactly. So he was like, if I got to pay for it myself, man, I'm going to fucking pay for it myself. You know, the original draft to take shelter
Starting point is 00:09:33 was essentially this movie. Nobody knows what a big heart I have. He's fucking terrifying. I think I've told this story before. I saw him in person in a play one time, and it was a production of Our Town, and he was like the narrator. So motherfucker comes out to do these silence your cell phones things. He doesn't
Starting point is 00:09:51 He doesn't even have to open his mouth. He comes out and fucking looks and walks like Michael Shannon. He opens a flip phone. Flip phone, by the way. This is like 2010. Sure. Flip phone. I thought you're going to say 20 years ago.
Starting point is 00:10:03 He opens this thing, looks around the room silently, points at it, and just shakes his head, closes it violently, and goes backstage. And you know what? His role in shape of water is not going to help this situation. No, no way, dude. Yeah, we can't spoil that movie, but man, is he a monster? But the funny thing is... He's the real monster of that monster movie. I've seen him in public, too.
Starting point is 00:10:25 I saw him with his kid once. And he was being really sweet. You know, I'll break your fucking neck, Jr. No, he had his kid on his shoulders, which made him 29 feet tall. Of course. Because he's exactly 26 feet tall right now. That kid was having problem breathing
Starting point is 00:10:40 with all the little oxygen up there. What were you doing there? Like, taking photos of his kid? No, I just... I was going... Paparazzo? I was taking... at the F train and he's like, hey,
Starting point is 00:10:52 and he looked very nice. And I was like, wow, that's so weird to see Michael Shannon, a noted, terrifying person be really sweet and nice with this kid. And I think that's what this is. It's like, I'll fucking pay for it, man. Hey, Ron. Rane. Ron Perlman, another guy that is genuinely
Starting point is 00:11:08 terrified. Oh, of course. So maybe this is like the image rehab project. I think his face is getting bigger by the minute. I don't know what's, yeah. We're going to the Zadar town, man. It's, it's, I I need a map. How am I going to get around this face?
Starting point is 00:11:24 Every five years, he goes to Danny DeVito. Danny DeVito sticks the hosen and pumps it up a little bit. It's part of a deal they've had for many years. Now, I should say this. If you haven't seen Pottersville yet, one of the joys of watching this movie for me was not knowing a lick of what it was about. So I would suggest, because obviously, spoilers,
Starting point is 00:11:43 pausing this episode, experiencing Pottersville for yourself, and then coming back here, we'll wait. It's a blissful hour, 22 minutes, kind of a thing. Pretty long, hour, 22 minutes. Oh, Christ, do you feel every worthless second of this movie, man? But seeing is believing.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Exactly. So we'll be here when you get back. All right, so you've seen Potter'sville. This is a movie. Pencils down. Yeah. This is, what was that cabin? I mean, you say that you can't really know, but like one of the first shots,
Starting point is 00:12:15 you certainly know at least what the tone of this is going to be. Because one of the first shots is like on the side of road, and there's just a sign that says debt, houses, for rent. Yeah, well, this town's going for a song, dude. Main Street's dead. All these shots of the snow and the town. Oh, the CGI snow, you mean? Yeah, it's blissful.
Starting point is 00:12:37 It takes like 10 minutes for us just to drive into movie town. There is so much like, let's run some time off the clock. You know what I mean in this movie? Oh, big time. This idea runs out of gas Almost immediately Because it's a Saturday Live sketch It's a fucking well
Starting point is 00:12:55 Contemporary S&L So it's a seven minute sketch Yes It should be three and a half to four Sure But man we are we're roping this into 84 minutes So we open on Michael Shannon
Starting point is 00:13:07 He's just such a nice guy My name is Maynard Yeah And that is in no way weird or terrifying Exactly So is My name is Maynard Greiger. I mean, H.R. Geiger.
Starting point is 00:13:21 I mean, that's the most terrifying part about this is they posit it as this, like, family thing, but it's also like this indie black comedy horse shit. Yes. But also Michael Shannon. I mean, this was a tense movie for me to watch, man. I just watched Good Time. This was tense to watch because, like, he could snap at any fucking second. Even in the beginning, there's this scene.
Starting point is 00:13:45 So, like, he owns a general story. and this little girl comes in. She's like, oh, my dad's out of work. Can you help me? You know what, little girl? I'm just so nice. Whatever you want. I'll just write it down in my book.
Starting point is 00:13:57 And I'm like, oh, shit, he's going to write it down and he's going to get this little girl. You cut to the little girl being like 18 years old. He's like, I've come to collect. Time to pay the fiddler, whore. He brings out the necronomicon. I just got to make a mark here in my book. I'm just going to need some of your blood for this book.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Oh, it's also, before that, though. Your name's Jessica. How do you spell that in Samarian Evil? Dead by John. Dead by John. He's fucking shoveling the walk in front of this decades-old general store, right? And then he notices this is fucking sad. Like, the rest of the block that his store is on has not been shoveled because all the stores have gone out of business on Main Street.
Starting point is 00:14:41 This movie's really saying something. Yeah. And it goes to the houses, too. Could I just say there is a poster? for crook properties. Yep. Oh, I'm saying something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:54 So he decides. Plunder Industries is next door as well. He's like, I got two choices. I could shovel the walk from all these out-of-business stores and really clean up the sidewalk. Or I could kill everyone in town. Today I'll shovel the walk. Like, you can see him making these choices in his head.
Starting point is 00:15:12 They're there. These streets are so serene in the morning, like, I wonder, what would it be like if blood flowed down them all day and all night. And this is what happened. So he called up Ron Prodick. I had to reinvent myself, John. I need these like...
Starting point is 00:15:29 Who's John? Oh, Ron. Oh, it's like, am I missing? No, John Perlman handles Ron Perlman's money. Yeah. Hi, yeah, this is definitely John Perlman. No, I just sound like him. I'm the man that lives inside Ron Perlman's face. John Perlman
Starting point is 00:15:48 Pull the string It's a living Most of Hellboy was me actually Ron didn't have that much to do it He's just the body Ron who do I get To show that I'm a nice guy And the only person you can get is Judy Greer
Starting point is 00:16:03 Like that's it She like Because the first line she has is like Maynard You're such a nice guy And then he's like Yes that's right America See America's sweetheart
Starting point is 00:16:15 Judy Greer just said it So it's got to be true I'm a nice guy I can like riff with Jonah Hill I can do that thing Took a hundred takes He kept hissing After each one
Starting point is 00:16:30 I fucking love Judy Greer Of course she's the best She's the total best Actually this is how sweet Judy Greer is She's in that fucking horrendous What Women Want movie And she makes Mel sugar tits Gibson
Starting point is 00:16:44 Look like a fucking teddy bear exactly that's how sweet she is remember she's all like sad and he's like
Starting point is 00:16:49 oh I hear by her brainwaves that she's going to commit suicide oh that's right better help her out that fucking movie is probably a stay tuned
Starting point is 00:16:57 because it's like it's like Mel Gibson being like I'm Dr. Doolittle and women are animals I'm gonna say in reality that is like a
Starting point is 00:17:05 Herzog movie Mel Gibson can read women's minds it's just screaming all the time if you look into the beast's eyes he can understand
Starting point is 00:17:15 what the woman won. Break you down like Bjork. You should never watch this DVD. I couldn't believe that ledger shit though because it's like you just know the whole town 's taking advantage of it. Yeah, exactly. And she's like, you're just so nice. It's like, yes, I
Starting point is 00:17:31 know. And then in comes another, just another teddy bear, Ian McShade. Another person you want your Christmas movie, man. Welcome to fucking Potter's. Do they have like a bad guy's poker night or something? We're all gruff, weird dudes. Dylan Baker, I apologize.

Like, you can almost imagine that that's the movie. It's like a Christmas time. like Sam Ramey movie was that movie he did Christmas time Sam Rame We're not crew like winter time

Starting point is 00:18:35 Ian McShane is like a local like hunter Who like sells stakes And he's just to people He's not to stores He is walking around with steaks frozen in his coat pockets. And drinking moonshine the entire time, by the way. This guy's like doing fucking, he's like a part-time bye-bye man, kind of.
Starting point is 00:18:55 He is. I like that. Bart the bye-bye man. I like that. Yeah, he's playing Bart, which is like, becomes like, what, a quint from Jaws type of? Oh, of course, dude, I think Spielberg's got a case here. A lot of Frank Capra's got a case as well. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:12 The Capra estate, most definitely. And they need money, definitely. Oh, they do. The Capra's there. They're going under these days. Not so many people watching It's Wonderful Life. Are they even alive? Does he have any errors left?
Starting point is 00:19:24 Frank Capra? Yeah. Of course. What is there? Frank Capra the third? Yeah, that's a guy, right? No, that's, he's a director. No, that's Hank Williams, the third, I think.
Starting point is 00:19:32 No, there is definitely a Frank Capra the third. Really? Yeah, I believe he directs. There's Napoleon the third. Yes. Dude, come on. A guy like Frank Capra, that dude fucked. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:41 When you watch his movie, all that wholesome shit, of course, he was all that wholesome shit, It was all about spewing out fucking offsprings. You're right. So Ian McShane sells him some steaks, and he's like, you know what? I am in such a nice mood. Everything is so nice here. I'm going to surprise my wife. My wife, she'd kill me if I didn't bring home a couple of those venison steaks there, Ian McShane.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Well, no, yeah, he buys the elk. Oh, elk. Oh, pardon me. That's a good cut, man. Also, Chris Cabin, life lesson. Never go home early. That's a life lesson. for all of us. You know what, dude? Everyone's
Starting point is 00:20:16 got a secret life. Knock loudly. Just period. Everyone's got a secret life. Pottersville, more than likely has a bar, more than likely has a movie theater, probably a used bookstore. Do any of that? No, no, no, no. They're all out of business, dude. That's the point of this movie. They're all out of business. You could
Starting point is 00:20:33 shovel the rest of the street. There's two businesses left in Pottersville. I'll tell you right now. It's, it's Geiger's General's store. Yes. And the porn shop. the two things. You don't think the liquor store even survived? Ian McShane's making his own hooch man. He's stopping off
Starting point is 00:20:51 at the general store, making enough money to buy porn at the porn store and then high tailing at home. So yes, he goes home. He buys a nice bottle of wine. There is a liquor store, obviously. There's got to be, yeah, he comes in with like a $6 bojolet or something shit. And he's like, oh,
Starting point is 00:21:08 and when he goes to the fridge, there's a lot of beer in that fridge. I was like, these people are living in it. That's how he keeps the monster at bed. Oh, I see. He just gets drunk enough every night that he just passes out cold. But it's like Serenac root beer. Oh, that's right. It's not beer. It's root beer.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Serenac. I like Serenac beers but they make non-alcoholic. They're up by the Andorandex, I think. Yeah, yeah, man. Serenac Lake. And this film was filmed. Oh, wait, in the Utica area or something? Yeah, Hamilton, New York. Not exactly Andorondex, but
Starting point is 00:21:42 that is a nice New York brand. see. Yeah, it was very cool seeing Serenac in this movie. Also, a nice little bit of trivia right here, Hamilton, New York, where the film was made. The movie theater in Hamilton, New York, is the only theater that played this theatrically. So you got that.
Starting point is 00:21:58 And what was it, Chris? It was like two showings a day. Two showings a day, I think. It might even been one. Man, you know what? You just need to play a week for Oscar qualifiers. Oh, that's true. New York and L.A., baby. Ian McShane, get in there, man. He's having a little bit of a moment, right? Who, Ian McShane?

Yeah, oh, it was a bummer, man. Somebody just picked off his scab. Some PA was like, ooh, sorry, Ian, we can't nominate you.
Starting point is 00:22:30 You're on a Stars show. Sorry. We'd love to nominate. You're great. It's just Stars. Look, and I don't have anything against Stars because, listen, Black Sales fan number one You think the Emmy Committee watches even an episode
Starting point is 00:22:49 of Black Sam? No, they go for your considerate. You know, I think the back, I think that Z, I was going to say it was a backward S, and that's wrong. That Z is working against them, I think. Stars with a Z, it's with a Z, right? Yeah, it is. You look like an asshole. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Ooh, stars. Sorry, Ian. Yeah, you should probably find something on like Showtime. Don't apologize to me. I'm going to kill you a whole fucking family. I mean, to be fair to you, we didn't give anything to Cinemax either.
Starting point is 00:23:21 A thing with Max in the title. So, yeah, so he goes, and it's the classic thing where you go home early. The classic. It's a movie thing. Yeah, this is a thing that happens. I thought you were saying that the end result is a classic thing. I mean, this is a scene from old school, almost beat for beat. I mean, like, you change the, you changed the.
Starting point is 00:23:42 quote unquote weird sex specific but that's it right that's all you got so what is what is the weird sex he goes upstairs and uh his his wife played by christina hendricks and ron perlman uh are engaging right ron perlman and kastina hendrick

Starting point is 00:25:07 He's going to snap. Michael Shannon's going to snap. Again, at any second during this movie, man, he could lose. Like, I'm surprised he doesn't have a gun ready. He's like, now both of you, walk off that cliff. Go on. It's going to snow tonight. It's going to cover your bodies.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Hey, Ron Perlman, I'm going to need you to fillate this gun barrel. Nice and ease. Who, by the way, is the sheriff or whatever. Yeah. Or the top cop of the town. Hey, Ron, let me pitch you this movie. You know that story in Home Alone about the old man murder and everybody? What if that that?
Starting point is 00:25:42 That was real. That would be a great twist if that was real at home alone. He puts the bodies inside the salt or something. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. You know why Buzz made that story up?
Starting point is 00:25:56 Because that fuck's always thinking about cured meat. Wolf. Speaking of a wolf. He doesn't say wolf. He says woof. It's very bizarre. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:26:06 I'm a whoop. No, no. Michael Shannon's like, what are you being a woof for? It's like this weird like maybe accent. thing? Oh, I don't know. Yeah. Well, he call him squirrel. Yeah, that's the joke and it's, man,
Starting point is 00:26:18 that's not funny. No. He says it like five times, though, so it must be funny. Well, you know, it's one of those things where it's like, if at first you don't succeed, keep making this terrible joke until somebody laughs. And that's the thing is, Michael Shannon's not funny. Not at all. It's not, like, they
Starting point is 00:26:34 set him up with some jokes and it's just not, like, I can imagine him being in a funny movie and having like funny lines that are like... As the straight man, though. Yes, yes. He's funny in the night before he has a good role in that. Okay, that's a groundhog day? What? Michael Shannon?
Starting point is 00:26:51 Right? Was he really? Oh, yes, he is. You're right. Yeah, fuck you. He's at the dance at the end. I haven't seen that movie in full in like 10 years. The couple that wants the WrestleMania tickets. Oh, wow. He's the guys. Oh my God. Yeah, you're right. Holy shit. Was he nine? Yeah, he was nine. He was like a fully grown adult. He just didn't look like Michael Shannon yet. He was the man that wanted
Starting point is 00:27:09 WrestleMania. No, David, that's my deal. You cannot interview anyone else in Groundhogs Day. I swear to God, Chan, you name one other person's fucking filmography and you're dead. You never want to sleep again? That is my intellectual property. You cannot say he's the man. I'm the man. Hey, David, Tobo will haunt your dreams, bud. Haunt your dreams real good, David. Well, I like the idea now that we're flipping things around. Michael Shannon is the nice guy and Steven Tobolowski's the hard ass. Yeah. Yeah, I like it.
Starting point is 00:27:44 You're going to kill your whole fucking family, David. You got a family? You like them? Hey, David, do my intro while you fillate this gun barrel, motherfucker. Here's the man. Come on. This is great. Here's the man who threatened my family.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Stephen Tbilowski. Oh, fuck, dudes. Tobo and seven? Well, he was the Glimberman, right? That's a stay tuned as well. He's like a serial killer and that. That's the only time I think he's ever played a serial killer. Tobo?
Starting point is 00:28:23 Yeah. Wasn't Tobo the bad guy in... Big tough man? Mississippi Burn him? Yes, he was. Well, no. I mean, yes, he was a bad guy. Wait, no.
Starting point is 00:28:31 He's the hero in that film. Yeah, he's the bad guy in Bird on a Wire. He's the bad guy and Burn on a Wire. Oh, yes, yes, he's played some heavies. With the sugar tits, Mel Gibson. He's the bad guy. bad guy in God damn
Starting point is 00:28:41 what was that movie we did a thousand years ago Oh fuck Wedlock and Edward deadlock That's right He's kind of a bad guy On Silicon Valley a little bit
Starting point is 00:28:50 Jack Barker Yeah Oh my god By the way We love Tobo We do So put the tweet down So yeah
Starting point is 00:28:57 He freaks out as you would And like he thinks That they're having I mean look It's not cool You know what I mean Like yeah Just rub dancing
Starting point is 00:29:07 Or fucking Whatever it is I mean, just be up front about it, honestly. Say, like, look, me and your best friend, we're going to get into costumes. We're going to rub up against each other. Sure. So now, in this entire film, furries come up a few times. We've got nothing personally against furries.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Sure. Evident, like, according to this film, they're not actually having sex at all. That is, there's a documentary that I've seen called Fersonas. And do they fuck? You have? Yes, I like documentaries. He's just a doc. That's a great excuse.
Starting point is 00:29:39 I guess you can't masturbate to the cove. I'm not masturbate. Oh, there's so many fucking dead dolphins. It's my favorite line by anyone in anything. So that's the thing. Some furries do have sex in the costume. Some do not. You have to have a genitals flap.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Yeah. Because then you're just like, you know, it's getting messy in there. And is that dry clean only or? Yeah, I would definitely. Those things are expensive. I was about to say, ask someone who works a Chucky cheese, but no one ever washes those fucking costumes. Oh, do you think that was like,
Starting point is 00:30:09 maybe the first one. The first furry was Chucky Cheese? Yeah. Maybe. I'm not sure, but, like, I think you have to go somewhere like past dry clean, like a warehouse that does dry cleaning. Like, it's a specialty store. Wait a second. You don't want to freak anyone out.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Do you have, I mean, because these two things are just like dumb animal costumes. But is there also like furry cosplay? Like, are there characters? Yeah, they're a character. Like, you could. Like, you could. Like, you could. Can I be a rep.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Yes, you could. Can I be a reptile? Yes, you can't be a reptile. Really? Well, you could actually be reptile if you know that, but that's a different thing. That's Mortal Kombat guys. I could spit acid. Mark.
Starting point is 00:30:50 I would love, I mean, that might be my fetish, just dressing up like Mortal Kombat characters. I think they're going to say Gallagher. Dressing up like Gallagher. I'm going to fuck your silly little brains out. No. Gallagher cosplay fucking. I would argue even, and it's good we're talking about like this, because I would argue even that, like, As we'll see, what happens after this is he becomes obsessed with being in a costume himself.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I would say that much like Carol and call me by your name, this is a movie about a sexual awakening that does not go completely correct. You're totally right. You're going to be hearing so much about call you call me by your name at the award season time. Fuck that dude. Pottersville. It's close, but they're very clearly a punchline. It's every time you're supposed to be slapping your audience. Of course you are.
Starting point is 00:31:38 But how about this? Pottersville, colon, a furry sexual awakening. You add that in. Yeah, dude. We should do like a fan edit. That would have to presuppose that there are fans of potters. Yes, exactly. And also the negative connotation, that's only if you take the side of, you know,
Starting point is 00:31:57 menacing drunk Ian McShane. That's very true. Almost everybody else is very positive about it. To be fair, Ian McShane is the only character in this film that draws a firearm on a fur. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. So he storms off, and Ian McShane has also given him moonshine at some point. He's like, hey, man, you know, open your eyes and like fucking see the world. Right, because he had said, Maynard said he hasn't had, he hasn't gotten drunk since his wedding night.
Starting point is 00:32:25 So this guy is a stuffed shirt and a half. So now he gets drunk as shit off this moonshine because his wife is a bunny rabbit. And by the way, he goes back. to the general store to get drinking. I love the idea of, like, my life is in shambles. Let's go back to work and get drunk. And here's where the producers were really smart, because Judy Greer is still there.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Well, because she volunteered to close the store. So Michael Shannon, drunk and angry and looking for somebody to talk to, busts in, and the producers hit the music immediately. Because you take that off. Yes. This is the scariest scene I've ever seen in my life. Yes.
Starting point is 00:33:06 You're totally right. This is a movie where music matters so much. I'm going to need you to work late tonight. Oh, yeah, I'm back. I've pooped on my face. I've pooped on my face. I'm back and I've been drinking. And I'm angry at the world.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Yeah, dude, if like Hans Zimmer scored this and it's like, I'm back, bwa. What? Why don't you have a drink, too? Would you like a drink with me? No, no. That door is locked for a real. reason or he gets him John Carver
Starting point is 00:33:39 I'm gonna kill this bottle of booze oh no it's back to Hans Zimmer and there's a whale so he comes back and Judy and Greer's like oh my god I can't believe that happened to you she leaves and he's like she wants animals so I'll give her animals
Starting point is 00:33:59 like wait till they get a load of me I'll be a whole fucking petting zoo for these people mirror Pottersville needs an animal. Lawrence, music. So he winds up, there's a bunch of hunting shit. He puts together a very bad costume.
Starting point is 00:34:25 And there's an ape mask. So like, it's like hunting clothing. And then he puts a gorilla mask on top. There's two boxes in front of it, my feel is the idea. One says hunting a top. And the other one says Halloween attire. Because he was going to put on, he's like, I'm going to hunt the humans of potters for it takes out the one box.
Starting point is 00:34:46 It puts it all on. My favorite movie, surviving the game. I need to conceal my identity as I pick off the town. And then he gets the mask, but then he forgets what he's doing. What with the drinking? And then he just starts stumbling around the town. Yeah, they bought this from fucking Dan Aykroyd in trading places. This mask is wretched.
Starting point is 00:35:07 It's bad. I would say the one I'm trading places is a little better. It is. It doesn't have a cut down the middle like this one does. I mean, the problem with this movie is like, so immediately he goes out and like he's a big hulking dude and he's kind of running around. And people are like, oh my God, it's Bigfoot. And like, no. Yeah, why is that like the jump to?
Starting point is 00:35:26 How about there's some asshole and oh, it looks like the tallest person in town. Maynard, whatever the fuck. Done, done, done. short movie but no so everyone's like oh my god it's Bigfoot he wakes up in the storage room and everyone's gathered on the TV like oh my
Starting point is 00:35:44 god there was a Bigfoot siding last night and the news is picking it up for no reason for no reason man is there like there's no way there's a local Pottersville station no it's probably like the county local news you know and it's like they have better
Starting point is 00:36:00 shit to do around the holidays like clothing drives and a camp food stories. A car broke down last night. Shit like that. You want to stay off Route 5 because there is that stalled car. Exactly. That's what we got. Well, we're going to run this
Starting point is 00:36:18 story 20 more time. Update on that car. That little car got where it was going and it's going to have a great Christmas. Hong Kong. But so this town has like Sasquatch mania. They do. They get it immediately. Sasquatch Mania.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Which I feel it's kind of quick for a fever to envelop the town, such as it is. Well, I mean, I understand the mania just because clearly there's two stores open. This place is fucking hell. Nothing lives here. So you have to glom on to something. Welcome to hell.
Starting point is 00:36:55 I'm Maynard. So, yeah. The boat man of Rivers. Times are tight. I mean, this is like one magic Christmas level. Yes, yes, exactly. This movie could use some more child death. Well, now the title is a reference to
Starting point is 00:37:08 It's a wonderful life. As my wife posited last night as I made her watch this. It's like, hey, baby, want to watch Pottersville? This movie's kind of like if Jimmy Stewart in that movie was never born and Pottersville just thrived
Starting point is 00:37:26 and now this is the town. Bankrupt and fucked. Yes. Like that's where Mr. Potter would take the town. Exactly. Dude, take the money and run. The trickle down didn't trickle down. It did not trickle down.
Starting point is 00:37:39 That's shocking. That's a weird thing. Rape that town of everything it was worth. There was a bigfoot site, and maybe it was Harvey, my good friend. Oh, boy, my friend Harvey's back now. He looks like a Sasquot. I hope he has some money. I could use some money.
Starting point is 00:37:54 What's that, Harvey, eat their blood? Right away. Yeah. So everybody starts to real. Well, this is what's, weird is like so now people are coming to the town because they want to get a spying of this Sasquatch monster
Starting point is 00:38:12 and the general store becomes like Sasquatch headquarters these two guys like start selling t-shirts yeah one is that dude that you've seen in like four different car commercials he's been on like several different TV shows he's probably not gotten Saturday night
Starting point is 00:38:28 live 10 times whatever this dude is and then like an Indian gentleman yes and these like local proprietors and all the towns folk who don't have a fucking nickel to spend are just eaten up all this fucking these hats these fucking baseball teas dude that's the thing you give idiots shit to buy they'll do it i'm curious why is the town almost entirely geriatric because it's have you been upstate yeah honestly eric's got a point okay fair enough eventually that that part of the state's just going to die off or maybe oh or maybe it's like the town from the freddie
Starting point is 00:39:04 the new nightmare where all the kids have to die that's funny that you say that actually because I noticed in so there's a montage of like him continuing to be Sasquatch to drum up the story and whatever
Starting point is 00:39:19 an inept montage yes oh of course everything about this movie is inept goes without saying so there's a part where he runs by a house like he runs by the window or something and the family rushes to the window there's definitely like the little boy is wearing a Freddy
Starting point is 00:39:34 sweater. Oh, really? Yeah, so shit, maybe there's something to your theory, Chris. Might be. Might just be. Do you think like for Kruger's, Kruger should have came out at the ending. This was all bullshit. Burst out of Michael Shannon's chest. I mean that, how have they not done that yet? Freddie Kruger around good Christmas times. That's a great one. Eric and I have been begging for Friday the 13th at winter for fucking 10 years. Yeah, but I'll settle for a Kringel Kruger. Yes. Happy holidays.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Thanks for nothing, PC culture. Oh, no, no one believes me anymore, and nobody believes in Christmas. There's not enough Christmas magic to get these presents out. Oh, no, everybody wants to die anyway. Dude, you guys got it. Okay, so Santa can't deliver the presents unless everyone's asleep, and Freddy's going to help. Oh, I like it. Right?
Starting point is 00:40:28 Yeah. He's like, he can be like the crompis or something. I'm teaming up with Chris Cringles. Happy holidays, bitch. Because you know that would have to be a screenplay. Contractual obligation. Man, get England at a retirement. That's a movie.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Oh, of course it is. Sign sealed delivery. George went to Santa Claus. We're good to go. And it's just called Kringle Kruger. Get me a couple of dead reindeer puppets. Oh, yeah. His reindeer are definitely undead.
Starting point is 00:40:59 Come on. Let's just do it. You might be able to get Tim Burton to do it. It's like, let's set around Christmas, huh? I do like a freaky Christmas. Okay, you know what, Tim? I really didn't want to, but we will cast Johnny Depp. Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 00:41:15 I'm playing a 18-year-old boy again. Throw up. So, yeah, but this gets attention of, and I mean, here's the thing. This movie, it's Michael Shannon's movie at this point. It's entirely Michael's supposed to be. And then all of a sudden Tom Lennon shows up. And like the entire narrative drops And it's the Tom Lennon show
Starting point is 00:41:36 For like 40 minutes until like the last 15 It's nuts We were talking about this in my house last night Like Tom Lennon is one of those like secret comedy billionaires Because he's written so many successful franchises Night at the Museum shit right So like I guess he can just like go out back And play in the mud with movies like these
Starting point is 00:41:56 But it's like fucking why dude Why get out of bed? Why get out of bed? I know he's doing this heinous Australian New Zealand accent, it's fucking brutal. Yes, it's very brutal. It's brutal. But the fact that his character is actually not Australian. Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Helps. Yes. It helps. I saw that a mile away too. Did you really? That old gag of like, oh, and then like it's a fake thing because I'm a fake guy. I mean, once it happens, I was like, oh, that thing. But in the moment.
Starting point is 00:42:27 You didn't shit your pants on your couch. What the fuck? I mean, I did, but that had nothing. This couch was full of shit That was just a lazy night The idea of like even the mildest surprise Is it a movie like Fathersville It was met with extreme surprise by you?
Starting point is 00:42:44 Stephen Sagan was wearing a vest No fucking way! I have easily entertained man I also have to watch every movie on my couch wearing a garbage bag around my waist Spraying chunks Yes Filthy
Starting point is 00:42:58 No I just mean like because this movie is so fucking terrible Yes, that I was like, oh, of course he's doing the shitty acts of this. Nobody cared. But also, post Reno 911, guess what I always turn off, the Tom Lennon show. Every fucking time. I can't take it. There was a Tom Lennon show? No, just Tom Lennon vamping. Taking the fucking wheel here. I would say he's been very funny.
Starting point is 00:43:21 Reno 9-1, he was very funny. He's great in Reno 9-1-1. But like, since then, like, these little bit, I can't think of another time. But like, every time I remember just being like, I'm done with this. Is that odd couple still on? in the air? Yes, I think it is. No, no. That went away. It was him and Matthew Perry. I think that's off the air.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Man, Matthew Perry, dude, that guy's falling down a staircase his whole life. Oh, my God. What did I need? Like, you know. Wait, no, I don't know what you mean. You know what I mean? Come on. Because he fell down the money stairs of friends. Yes, but then he's never been
Starting point is 00:43:53 able to get back up again. No, no. You're not. He's saying. He had that show go on. Go on. Was terrible. was go on the one with where he's like a group counselor uh what's his uh bret galman was on it yes brett gelman was on it and i kind of no was that the one i'm thinking of yep that's the one i guess i no no no i wasn't there was a show that he had called mr sunshine yeah he was like a sports guy that show was actually kind of funny because it was like it was him it was alison janny
Starting point is 00:44:27 like there were people on it he like managed a professional sports team or something or like was in the back office for a sports team it was mildly funny and only of course got one seat and he was in the notoriously awful as Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip of course
Starting point is 00:44:44 you didn't like that Chris no I like listen that was a thing I was shitting my pants on the couch I watched like the pilot of it I was like spray in chunks yeah dude I'm gonna spray all over this and then everything after that pilot episode got increasingly preachy to the point where it like
Starting point is 00:45:00 episode five should have just was erin sorkin standing on the monologue spot for this show yeah just talking just given his opinion about stuff eventually has shows like ropes in the iraq war like and like there's a hostage thing so no just a big no so even for the newsroom yes please tom lennon shows up and hijacks this movie he is an australian tv personality who has a monster hunter show and i don't know what this is exactly referencing I guess it's like referencing a bunch of stuff television shows just reality TV you'd call them documentaries
Starting point is 00:45:36 those like ghost hunter shows like the dregs of discovery yeah yeah exactly and like that a little bit of bear girless too I think kind of a little bit most definitely so like he's like a tough little Australian guy and
Starting point is 00:45:51 yeah he's like oh I'll find you say squatch for you you squash I think that's the guy he's going to he keeps calling it squatch dude Yeah. The squitch. And literally at this point, Michael Shannon, who is the protagonist of this movie, who is pumping money to change his career to be a comedic, fun actor, is like, yeah, but Tom Lennon's just so damn good.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Did you watch Tom today? Did you watch? In this scene, Maynard's just going to be watching Tom. Just taking in the craft. I kind of can't imagine Michael Shannon laughing now that I'm thinking about it. No. And even when he's supposed to be watching. He's supposed to be kind of doing it in this movie.
Starting point is 00:46:32 He's like, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip. Yeah, he's just, he's more amused than anything else. I don't think I've ever seen him like cackle. And amused in the way that a serial killer looks at its next victim, like someday I'm going to fucking cut your head off and fuck your eyeball. Hit! Yeah, exactly. See, it fits.
Starting point is 00:46:52 There's no soul inside of that thing. Yep. Was she a great big fat person? Yeah, dude, heaven forbid if they ever remade silence, Michael Shannon is Buffalo Bill. Oh, absolutely. So, yeah, it's just, it's Tom Lennon vamping for a very long time. He starts singing a song about a Sasquatch. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Which gave me a real legit laugh when he starts, right before he starts singing that song, because he says it's, this one's for Nelson Mandela. This one's dedicated to Nielsen Mandela. It was my only legitimate lap of the two times I've seen this movie. I had one real legitimate. Oh, really? I mean, he sings this song, dude, and it's like you would have to be a fucking millionaire that does not care about money to sing this song in this scene, in this movie on camera.
Starting point is 00:47:48 It's a 12-year-old trying to write a mountain goat song. That's what this sounds like. No, I mean, he's just like poorly playing guitar. I mean, it's supposed to be terrible, but it's one of those like, And this, it gets me really uncomfortable with movies like this. You're watching shit. Like, I watch movies like this and I feel embarrassed for the people that made it while I'm watching it. And it just makes my skin crawl.
Starting point is 00:48:08 And in this scene where he's having to play guitar and sing this song. And then you've got like Christina Hendrix and fucking Michael Shannon sitting there like swaying with the music because they're fucking, well, at least Christina Hendricks character is like into it. I mean, like, I guess her character, aside for being a furry, she just likes, she wants excitement. She wants something new in life. Move out of fucking. Pottersville lady. How about that? That's why this guy is so exciting because he's an outsider.
Starting point is 00:48:35 He's from the other side of the world. Exactly. And I got to say, I do find it depressing that she hasn't been able to get more because she's fantastic. She's great, madden. She was in Drive. She's great to drive for the two seconds her head blown off.
Starting point is 00:48:50 That Ryan Gosling directed movie that Oh, it's awful. Lost River. I liked it. I didn't see it. I still had seen it, but I wanted to check it. I did not like it. I liked it. My wife pointed this out too. You know this movie totally feels like you're watching because of the brain damage you get from experiencing it
Starting point is 00:49:05 is like a spoof movie. Yeah. It totally has the tone of a fucking spoof movie. You're right. They should just done it. Just go for it. I mean, kind of the way it's put together, it's like a spoof movie,
Starting point is 00:49:15 but no one had any idea what was being spoofed at the time. It's a spoof movie. It has way too good a cast. Like you can't, you can't. Yeah. Spoof movies need losers. Yeah. And by the way, we'll do this movie.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Or comedians. Yeah. We'll definitely. Us losers will do your spoof. Oh yeah, I'll do a spoof movie in two seconds. But you know what? I was never on Madman. I never worked with Guillermo del Toro.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Multiple people this movie have. Jesus Christ. You know what? It's not a spoof movie unless you have someone portraying Juno. Oh, yeah. I don't remember that. Was that in a spoof movie? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Someone was playing. I forget which one it was. But it was on tell it was on the telly not long ago. I was flipping through and it was on. Epic or disaster probably. Those are, movies are so bad because I feel like they literally put like a sign that's like I'm the guy from Juno like literally it has no respect for you as an audience here is my question by the way
Starting point is 00:50:08 speaking of movie the spoof movies has that wave crested like are we yeah are we in the clear with spoof movies in the clear we have think well could I come up for air the the 50 shades one crash and burned I think oh right that was the last one I remember and that's the way it's kind of just do their own thing though. And the Wayans will always make those movies and some of them will make money, some of them won't. Isn't that movie? Because it's Marlon Wayans. Is doing those? Isn't
Starting point is 00:50:35 that Meet the Blacks? Isn't that a spoof movie or no? That's supposed to be like a purge. Yes. Yeah, yeah. It is, right? Okay. So there's still like actually kind of around. I mean, that Meet the Blacks was like last year, man. Yeah, that's true. Or maybe two years ago? Well, I think the 50 Shades one was like
Starting point is 00:50:52 literally two years ago. But it didn't do well. How many of them did well? I mean, a lot of them did at least enough business to keep doing it. This one, I don't know. But, all right, whatever the most recent spoof movie is, what is the head count for former Mad TV cast members? Oh, it's a lot. It's always 12.
Starting point is 00:51:11 That's where they all got flush to, right? It's the same, I mean, it's like... Except for like Melissa McCarthy, she's an Academy Award-nominated actor. And Jordan Peel, most likely... Oh, right, of course. And, you know, yeah, there's... I forgot he was in that. Him and Kean Piel were on that.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Wow. So, yeah, he's just doing a bunch of bad Australian jokes. There's even, like, dust this one off. Somebody get me a Forster's. And everyone's like, Foster's, what's a Fausters? It's Australian Fabia. And I'm like, dude, do not. Do not.
Starting point is 00:51:41 I mean, that's, man, is that, let me ask you this. Is that in the screenplay or is that a vamp? I would like to think it's in the screenplay. I mean, I hope it is. And they made him say that. is for, like, it's not for anyone, but I guess it's trying to be for dumb babies. Yes, a little bit.
Starting point is 00:51:58 So you gotta get stupid babies. Yeah, you get the dumb baby stuff. You know, the dumb babies look at Tom Lennon in this movie. They laugh, they go, they're amused by his antics. Here's the thing, though, there are, this is the thing. And I think we need to sort of put this in perspective with this Foster's joke. Uh-huh. There are tons of people that will still laugh at that joke.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Yeah. You know what I mean? There's people that laugh at podcasts. It's that thing I heard in a commercial no less than 15 years ago. Hip, hip, hip. Could have used a bud dry reference, but I'll take a foster. I would not be surprised with this movie had a fucking cameo appearance by the Budweiser frogs. Ooh, they couldn't get them.
Starting point is 00:52:45 They couldn't bring him out of retirement. Yeah, hey, John, could you get Ron? Yeah, the Budweiser frogs passed I guess we're going to have to go to Tom Lennon IMDB trivia Thomas Lennon replaced the Budweiser frogs It was just three frogs Stacked in a trench coat playing an Australian man
Starting point is 00:53:07 Yeah, now Tom, could you Could you say waz up a few times? Oh God, those guys too? Could you just do that? That's a joke in I believe it's the first scary move Yeah, they're doing, they're doing wazah, and the fucking ghost faces on the phone doing it. I always found those movies unwatchable.
Starting point is 00:53:28 That's like, yeah, like that's like, what, like 15 to 17 years ago? Something like that, that first scary movie came out. It's a dark timeline. Spoof movies represent the darkest timeline, I feel. They always have. So, this is when. You know what? No, they didn't.
Starting point is 00:53:43 No, they didn't. I will defend the spoof movie to a degree. Yes, I agree. Because airplane is solid. And that's a spoof of all those airport movies Right. Young Frankenstein is a spoof. You know what I mean? Like there's a lot of those earlier Melbrook stuff is as cool.
Starting point is 00:53:58 All Melbrook's is a spoof. Yeah. Well, yeah. But they don't go micro like the new, like the actual narrative is being it. That's more of a style. Yeah. The 90s is what, you know, ever since then, the spoof movies have been. Loaded weapon one.
Starting point is 00:54:12 National Impudes Loaded Weapons. It's kind of a fun movie. That's true. That was early, though. Like 91. Wasn't it? I haven't watched. Early 90s, I think.
Starting point is 00:54:19 What, loaded weapon one? I think it was like 93. Yeah. I haven't watched that first scary movie in a while and actually be kind of interesting to check it out now because I remember standing by like I liked that first one and then everything else was trash. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:34 But I haven't gone back. Wasn't there like a come faucet in that? Yeah, I never never cared for it. Ian McShane comes back at this point. And this is where you get your exact and obvious Jaws reference. He does the finger scratch along the chalkboard. I thought my wife was going to
Starting point is 00:54:54 throw her shoe through the TV. Like I think she uttered like oh fuck you at this point. It's the point that gets you really pissed off at this movie, right? Because I do wish I was watching Jaws. Exactly. And this is like almost verbatim Robert Shaw's speech like you know I'll kill it but it's
Starting point is 00:55:10 going to cost you like all of that is in here and nobody's laughing. At some point Michael Shannon decides to keep and it's very vague. but he keeps just doing like the the big foot thing keeps coming back out to do it for some reason I guess to like he explains it later in the moon sexual awakening oh I see to find himself that's the only thing that makes any sense yeah you definitely what's that I mean other than that the only other way you could kind of read it is that he's trying to keep up business yeah but you never
Starting point is 00:55:40 but at the end of the day you find out that he doesn't really give a shit so the only thing that makes sense yeah is the sexual sexual obsession I think so and also I mean he Here's why, too. You actually, actually, I think, Cabin, this may strengthen your point. There's a scene where he's, like, gussying up the suit. Do you remember this? Yeah, he's working on repainting the eyes because there's some wear and tear on this costume? Sure, man.
Starting point is 00:56:02 He's getting into it. Oh, he's getting so into playing saskatch. Well, he's liberated, man. That's liberation right there. The only time I can shoot is when I'm dressed up like a saskwatch. Me too, man. So he winds up Ian McShane, Ron Perlman, and, Tom Lennon form a posse that they're going to
Starting point is 00:56:20 stay in the woods and catch the Sasquatch. Yeah, isn't it weird? It's three guys including the chief of police and a fucking expert in monsters are going to go out and fucking kill this monster. This is when, can't you just can't you not stand it?
Starting point is 00:56:39 This is my one legitimate laugh. They're all drinking moonshine sitting around talking about, you know, what Bigfoot might actually be. And then I think Tom Lennon has this theory that, like, he was, uh, he is, that he was a, an alien that was sent to, to, to, to, to earth, uh, as a, as a, as a punishment, as a prison. Because he's a criminal. He's a criminal. Like, that's, that's the what they did do him. And then, like,
Starting point is 00:57:04 Ron, Ron, Ronald's just goes, what? So Earth is a, is a prison for Bigfoot? And that, that got me going. Oh, that is a good, that is a good scene. I do enjoy that line of dialogue. Who in here believes in Bigfoot? Okay. That's a big no, right? How many listeners said something? You know what?
Starting point is 00:57:28 I think it's possible. Really? Because you have the show. You have to keep up appearances. I don't have anything. What, the T.J. Hooker show? They're not talking about Bigfoot. At one time, yes, he played a character that cared about that stuff on another show.
Starting point is 00:57:43 But I feel like, here's the thing. Maybe there's a different leaves you. No, but like there could, I mean, maybe those sightings. Some sort of animal or something, you know what I mean, is like a thing. But the idea that it's like, it's a singular thing that's like thousands of years old, shut up. No one believes that. That's a thing.
Starting point is 00:58:04 No, man, it's like the big feet, man. They're like a race of people. They're like Neanderthals. You're right, Kevin. It does never leave you. Living out in the wilderness. Or, you know what, I think a lot of, The Bigfoot stuff, Chris Cabin, was misidentified wild men.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Now, I find the idea, personally, I find it extremely appealing to abandon all civilized life and to go live in the woods forever, which I might do. And if I ever leave movies, that's what happens. That's the reason. Okay. So these wild men? Yes. Yeah, hermit. Is that just another word for hairy hobo?
Starting point is 00:58:41 Because that's what it was. Whatever Sasquot you ever saw, it was a hairy fucking hobo. You got a Bigfoot beard right now, man. You put you in the woods. Someone will say they saw something. Oh, they saw something. All right. Anybody ever see that a grainy footage of Bigfoot where he's got like a big butt?
Starting point is 00:58:58 And he's just kind of like, it's got his sashing across the costume. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is this one of your documentaries? I did see that in the documentary actually, as a matter of fact. There's quite a few good documentaries about the Bigfoot. I bet they're good. Man, we are in the loosest sense of the word using documentaries. also good Bobcat Goldthwaite movie
Starting point is 00:59:20 he did that Bigfoot movie What was that called? The name of which is escaping me right now Willow Creek Yes Willow Creek very good Yeah yeah there's that movie Letters from the Big Man Which is really bad
Starting point is 00:59:32 It's another it's a movie about like big that movie Wait is that Bigfoot writing letters I think it is big foot writing letters I think it is Sarah I can't believe you fucking broke up with me I took you out for hot dogs and skating at the roller ring This is bullshit PIS recycling is fake
Starting point is 00:59:47 But it's like this weird Bigfoot movie And there's like You barely see Bigfoot And like this woman knows about Bigfoot And some guy asks Sarah He's like look Okay hey Sarah
Starting point is 00:59:58 You know about Bigfoot Right she's like yeah I know about Bigfoot He's like all right And like she's like Yes And I'm like But where do they go And like she's
Starting point is 01:00:09 Why do they disrep? Because the idea is like They would like Go into another dimension After like when That's what it disappeared to I read in Fate magazine back when I subscribed that they could, like, teleport. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 01:00:23 That's why you never really corner a big foot. Fuck, dude, what if big feet are just a bunch of fucking Chewbacca's walking around? That's what I would like to believe. Yeah, dude. Like, you just tackle one and it's just a nerd in a Chewbacca costume. I was going to say, you've got quite a fantasy land. No, it might be an actual Chewbacca. No, it's lookies.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Yes, from the planet Cush. It could be the whole Mayhew family, though. You know what I mean? It's a bunch of really tall Brits that are incredibly nice. Did he die? No, he's alive. No, he's alive. He's playing Chewbacca in this movie.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Peter Mayhew? Yeah, he's not playing him anymore, is he? No, I think he can't. No, he only sits down. Is that the thing? No, yeah, there's another guy, a younger man doing some of Chewbacca's scenes. Oh, that is heartbreaking. The young guy is in the solo movie.
Starting point is 01:01:10 Oh, right. And Jedi, it is Mayhew. Is it? That's what I think it is. Swan song. You better keep Mayhew. Canaan. He's in this saga, dude. Keep him saga. You've got to let's finish the Abrams movie. Yeah. Well, that makes
Starting point is 01:01:23 sense. So, because if it's a young Han Solo, it's a younger, more nimble Chewbago. And also, man, I better have, you know that fucking R2D2 costume. There better be Kenny Baker's skeleton. Yes. That's why it wasn't moving for that for most of the first awake. Yeah, that was in the insurance rider. So they wind up that they're waiting And Michael Shannon for some reasons Like well if they're looking for Bigfoot
Starting point is 01:01:50 I better show up for no give them Bigfoot This is so stupid like when the monster hunters come Is when you stop impersonating Bigfoot Because then it brings It brings the element of mystery And the search and the hunt So he's like Michael Shannon's like They're making the show about Bigfoot
Starting point is 01:02:10 I better give him Bigfoot wait till they get a load of me but dude they'll make 12 shows if you don't show up yeah that's true I mean this is the fucking series finale man yeah you find this monster this is like a DiPama movie
Starting point is 01:02:25 the sexual obsession he has to do it he has to or no you pull a Tony Clifton you get like I don't know so get somebody get like a some six five dude like I don't know or Judy Greer on Stilts but Judy Greer on Stilts
Starting point is 01:02:40 she gets to the thing and he's like what do you have you mean, I'm right here. Oh no, it's the Sasquot. Honestly, you could get Jerry Lawler to play the mayor. I didn't come to the Playboy Mansion as the
Starting point is 01:02:53 Sasquatch. I'm right here. Man, Jim and Andy. I fucking love it. Is that a documentary? Of course it is. Of course it is. Because it doesn't, well, yeah, I mean, it's not fantastical beasts. Steve, let me tell you this. Anytime you think you're watching
Starting point is 01:03:09 a documentary and they use a fake version of the X-Files theme song. Instantly not a documentary, friend. All right, fair enough. Do they use that a lot in your sex films? All right, what if you see a mouse cursor move and open up a file
Starting point is 01:03:24 in the middle of a documentary? Is that not a documentary? No, 100% of documentary, man. That's hard hitting fucking filmmaking journalism. If it's less than an hour and exclusively about people who like fucking brick buildings, I'm going to say no.
Starting point is 01:03:38 I'm going to just say no on this one. I married the Eiffel Tower is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's great. Oh, it's great. Oh, man. Is it like right above X2? X2? I married the Eiffel Tower. The godfather. So, all right. So, yeah, it's all coming to a head.
Starting point is 01:03:55 He meets them in the woods. They shoot him with a tranquilizer gun for no reason. This is after another fucking, you want to talk about, like, jokes that you expect constantly. So when they're loading the truck, they're loading a bunch of, like, firearms into the back of this flatbed truck. whatnot. And Tom Lennon's like, oh, we're bringing guns. And, you know, they're like, don't worry, they're tranquilizer darts. So of course, someone who's in this party is going to get hit with a dart, which is what happens to Ron Perlman. Oh, right. Yeah. Because like Tom Lennon freaks out, screams and shoots. Also a fucking yoga injury joke. Oh, man. He's like, oh, I can't lift this heavy box because I got a yoga injury. And he does that fucking shitty thing they do whenever, like, you know the joke is horrible so you pretend like the character
Starting point is 01:04:44 knows the joke is horrible where he's like yoga injury yoga injury a yoga it's a fucking joke will you just let me go I'm stealing my bit that just don't make the joke but no actually I cut ahead
Starting point is 01:05:01 because at first we finally pay off the furry thing at the end of the film oh right the furry convention yes it's a furry convention in the woods that they happen to because they're waiting for Bigfoot. Now, this could have been the fucking cornfield rave in Freddie versus Jason, by the way.
Starting point is 01:05:18 You stumble upon all these furries just dancing. Ian McShane whips out this gun, dude, it's fucking dead town. I'm going to tell you, man, a horror movie set in a furry community, that's pretty cool. That's a movie. Who's in the mask? You know what I mean? People get murdered. Everybody is a suspect.
Starting point is 01:05:33 Copyright WHM Entertainment LLC. Furry Massacre? Furry Massacre. You know what? Tentative title. Technical title, but I'd be fine with it. First occurred, that's hard to put on a poster, though. There's also, we were going to do furry vengeance, but it turns out that's a fucking...
Starting point is 01:05:47 That's a Brendan Fraser movie. Correct. It sure is. That was like, why would you make a movie called Furry Vengeance in like 2011? Everyone's like, wait, is that movie about? Oh, no, it's not. Oh, then I'm definitely not going to get better. Chris Cabin?
Starting point is 01:06:01 He can talk to animals or some shit. I saw that movie when I had salmonella poisoning. Really? Did it make it better? No, it did not. So what was it about? It's like he could talk to animals and like there's like a land developer thing. They're going to like, they're going to ruin the woods and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:06:18 So it's basically just the end of Ace Ventura too. Yes. It sounds like a good documentary. God damn it. Everyone's having a real laugh. So, yeah, so he happens upon this furry convention. Like Tom Lennon's like into it at this point. But also he's just like, I'll have sex with Christina Hendrix.
Starting point is 01:06:38 You know what I mean? That was my big question about this because she takes her rabbit helmet off and it's Christina Hendrick. So he's like, oh yeah, I'll definitely come back, like email me when your next meeting's going to happen. Somewhere around here, like when the investigation
Starting point is 01:06:52 is going to start is when he lets slip to his assistant. Not let's slip because she's in an attitude. Let's slip to the movie that he's just a dude from California or something like that. Yeah. And he's like trying to make it big and like he hates his show and like this will be the thing
Starting point is 01:07:06 that launches him to the big time. Capturing Bigfoot And then I guess parading him around the world Like King Kong We all know how well that worked out That's when I made that fucking gag When I was watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade And they had a commercial for King Kong on Broadway
Starting point is 01:07:22 And I just went Well we all know how that worked out Oh that must have killed It kind of did Yeah Twos Beauty killed the beast Yeah exactly right She's what a stupid thing to put on Broadway
Starting point is 01:07:36 Is it actually I didn't know that was happening King Kong is coming next year, man. This time next year, King Kong will be on Broadway. But in the meantime, go see SpongeBob SquarePants, the musical, because we're all fucking bankrupt. Creatively, morally, financially. I can't promise I won't go see King Kong on Broadway. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:54 I'm thinking about a big ape now. Now you've got a big ape in my head. Dude, I thought you were going to say SpongeBob, though. Oh, fuck. There's not enough weed in the world. It's not, all right. So it's King Kong on Broadway. That's exciting.
Starting point is 01:08:05 It's not Julie Tamor, and the music isn't. by the edge is it because that's I don't think so. That ruins exciting sounding musical. No, no, that's the Godzilla musical that's coming in 2019. No, I think he's talking about Spider-Man Turn the Dark Off. Turn off the dark. I think the new title for that
Starting point is 01:08:22 Godzilla, though, is like Godzilla Roaring the Night. Yes. No, isn't King of the Monsters? I'm fucking lying, dude. There's no Godzilla musical? Yet. But if there is, I hope he's 69's King Conan. So, off-Broadway.
Starting point is 01:08:38 Oh, yeah, dude, you got to bust that nut off Broadway. He, at this point, in McShane, like, draws this Nazi gun on the furries. It's a luger. You don't have to be a national socialist. It helps. It does help. It helps, but. You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps.
Starting point is 01:08:59 Man, that's a coffee mug I always want to smash. So, yeah, they wind up, he freaks out all the furries. They run away. That's kind of the thing. like Tom Lennon's like, I'm going to blow your fucking heads off, you weirdos. Oh, at this point, Ron Perlman comes out as a furry. Right, he's
Starting point is 01:09:16 out in, because he doesn't want his friends assassinated by this booze out. He's like, dude, I don't know. I've got to stop this furry massacre. You start killing all these guys. We're going to have to kill me too, Ian McShane. I'm one of them. He shoots him three times in the face. He keeps moving.
Starting point is 01:09:33 Oh, man. You, that face would eat bullets. I'm sorry. His face is enormous these days. Yeah, it's like there's a hive of bees living in there. The show Sons of Anarchy took place on his face. His face is also known as
Starting point is 01:09:47 Charming California. All right, Chaz, you're going to drive across my face to get pick up some drugs on the other side of my face. Well, because he had a puffy face like back in like in the name of the Rose era. And maybe he, so Charlie Hunda must have been birthed from his face.
Starting point is 01:10:03 Okay, I like that much like how to get ahead in advertising or something to that There is a cachet of drug money in the caverns, also known as the nostrils. You're going to have to go through the wilderness of the mustache. You got to look out for the Mexicans that also live on my face. I'm racist against the Mexicans that live on my face. That's a show that I always thought would have made a better video game.
Starting point is 01:10:29 Yeah. Of course. I mean, I've never seen it, but just things like that, I'm like, well, they're just kind of doing missions. I gave it an episode. I remember I folded laundry to it once And I was like oh well Look at this mother
Starting point is 01:10:42 And then I never watched it again But yeah so the phrase run off Ron Perlman at this point Does get shot with a trank gun Then Michael Shannon gets shot with a train gun Right And they're like oh no And like here's the thing
Starting point is 01:10:55 The mask looks terrible If you see it from 60 yards away You're like that's a dude in a suit That's a suit They load him onto a truck I think Ian McShane knows the deal. He knows the score at this point. He's like, I can finally go home and
Starting point is 01:11:09 watch pornography again and get drunk because this stupid mission is over with. But Tom Lennon's a baby, but doesn't get it. Because isn't the insinuations that he's essentially like the angel character? Because at the end, he does like a big wink to Shannon.
Starting point is 01:11:25 Oh, I didn't get that. Oh. I didn't get to change. Like, he's supposed to be like a dirty, like the dirty angel. Yeah. Dirty Clarence. Essentially, he's supposed to be like alcohol. Like, yeah, like if the town is falling on a hard times alcoholic Clarence now with here did you hear three bells at six because one means one thing and one means another do you feel lucky oh I get it yeah yeah I mean it's like sorry I
Starting point is 01:11:52 wasn't following I was thinking more like dirty grandpa like this angels jerking off angels are totally jerking off right in this room right now there's a hundred angels jerking off hold on a second I thought you were you studied Catholicism angels do not have genitalia, right? That's Kevin Smith nonsense. I mean, I don't think we're really talking. You can also always rub a bump. That's true.
Starting point is 01:12:15 But isn't it more than that? Isn't it more than that? Wait, no, I'm thinking of giants maybe. There's giants in the Bible. There are. There certainly are. Jack and the Beanstalk. All sorts of shit in that storybook, dude.
Starting point is 01:12:30 When Michael Flynn got indicted and then, like, James Comey tweeted that quote from Jack and the Bean yeah fee five foe hum uh yeah so he's captured by the way multiple times throughout this movie because we're gonna get it at the end kind of here after Shannon is outed as being the big foot monster but one thing he talks about constantly in this film is how like well you know the thing about the Sasquatch monster is I think people in Pottersville are just
Starting point is 01:13:01 looking for something to believe it yeah like what are you even talking about That's not something to believe in. No, something to believe in is bring some fucking jobs to this town. How about that? Something to believe in. Maybe. But yeah, so, and Judy Greer figures it up before then. Oh, she stumbles across the shitty mask.
Starting point is 01:13:20 And it looks like a suicide note that he writes. I don't know what, do what does he write? It's like, I was the Sasquatch the whole time. If you're reading this, I'm dead in a Sasquatch guy. I threw myself off of Pottersfield Falls. You'll never see that Sasquash monster. again, don't worry. Also, I'm dead. Please,
Starting point is 01:13:40 a closed casket definitely in the costume. It would be a better ending. Oh, of course. Yeah, the secret Pottersville mass suicide ending? Please, uh, burn the store to the ground. Yeah, that was my final wish, burn my store. Oh, man, maybe he's got like a timer on that
Starting point is 01:13:55 shit. Oh, dude, yeah. Actually, maybe it's not hooked to a timer. That store is ready to blow. Yeah, just in case. Like, uh... Tripwire. Like how Wilford Brimley's ready to light up that compound and hard target. Oh, nice. That's true. Michael Shannon just has that at the ready. Just in case he needs to fucking disappear.
Starting point is 01:14:14 I thought it would be something more like the beginning of Die Hard with a vengeance. Oh, we're playing hot time. Somewhere in the city. Somewhere in the city. The fucking Bonwit Teller building blows up. Bigfoot's made to wear this sign. Oh, no. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:14:30 And he has to walk around Pottersville. He's walking around Pottersville wearing the sign. And then for the TV he added it says, I hate everyone. Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. Mr. Nature Boy here hates everyone. Yeah. Not all brothers
Starting point is 01:14:47 know how to use guns, you raise his melon farmer. Look at that. The lines even work, because you would call Bigfoot Nature Boy. That's true. So, yeah, at this point, he gets out in front of the whole town. Tom Lennon is furious and says that he is now
Starting point is 01:15:03 suing the entire town. for millions and millions of dollars. $150 million, to be precise. What a spurious lawsuit. Yeah, exactly. Did we get a zoom in with the pinky to the thing? Oh, God. But the town, all these idiot rubs, are like mad at Michael Shannon now, right?
Starting point is 01:15:25 Because they're getting sued. But it's like, take one look at this. He says he's going to sue this town for emotional damages for $150 million because this moron was told the Sasquatch monster was here and he embarrassed himself and all these people are like oh my god we're all ruined right now fuck you Michael Shannon
Starting point is 01:15:42 countersuit dude countersuit what would that be I'm just you just yell countersuit then you get money apparently they've been spending like the money for their food for the holidays and rent on fucking sweaters with a big foot on it and that's the weird thing too
Starting point is 01:15:59 is like oh no it's ruining Christmas I'm like first of all this is barely a Christmas movie like we're not really talking about the season or any of that shit there's no spirit of Christmas talk but then every time something like that does come up like when he says land is looking for something to believe in like that's shit you're like
Starting point is 01:16:15 oh yeah this is supposed to be a Christmas movie what a dumb thing tree lighting scene at some point but that's kind of it and it's inconsequential but yeah at this point somebody's like oh now Christmas is ruined it's like the fuck are you talking about Christmas Christmas
Starting point is 01:16:30 I thought this was like fucking late February And then he goes on the local news To tell his side of the story Oh and this is more something to believe in shit At first Judy Greer gets everybody in a room She's like you all feel bad You all hate Michael Shannon Well he at some point or another
Starting point is 01:16:46 Everyone in this town is like robbed his store blind And they're like yeah I guess you're right One guy's like I fucking put a whole Thanksgiving Grocery list on that tab And then like she's like And he always heard it down didn't he And she's like well look at the book And he never wrote it down
Starting point is 01:17:01 Oh man that is the magic of Christmas That's great. A small business owner, not having a financial record. That's a great thing. Oh, that's fantastic. I think it's just because, like, he's possibly secretly dealing, because this is, you know, like upstate New York. He's dealing fucking opioids out of that fucking...
Starting point is 01:17:17 Oh, right. He's got a fent factory in his garage. He definitely does, dude. Hey, man, you come in here. You can buy some jelly beans and some milk and some veggies. Also, I got a couple of death sticks to sell you. That's good to smoke it. They come in patches now.
Starting point is 01:17:33 Now, just stick them on your arm. Like a tattoo. You can go right to the Pottersville High School dance with that patch on. Nobody knows you'll have a great time. Dancing on air. Doesn't matter that you're 35. You can get it. Just say you're a chaperone.
Starting point is 01:17:51 And yeah, she's like, you know, hey, you merch motherfuckers. How much money did you make selling Bigfoot swag out of his store? You didn't give him a red set, you fucking crooks. Judy Greer takes this town to task in the best way possible It's kind of weird She's got the same haircut as Christina Hendrix In this movie
Starting point is 01:18:11 It's a little distracting You were confusing the two of them? Yeah, a little bit almost It's vertigo again Oh, the hair Oh, your lovely hair Harvey likes your hair So yeah
Starting point is 01:18:25 Shannon goes on the local TV And he's like Well, I just want everyone to have a nice Christmas, believe in the Sasquatch By the way, do you know he's an interdimensional alien? I mean, there's reports. I mean, I don't know if they're in the library or anything they should be. Earth is a prison.
Starting point is 01:18:43 It's a prison planet, if you will. She says Judy Greer has some line to these people, like, you know, that Maynard has given everything to this town. Really? You open a, you run the general store that sometimes people go in. See, the thing is like if you're born in a town and you live there, your whole life and never accomplished anything you could say shit like that because you're so bitter
Starting point is 01:19:06 got it's all you got I mean that makes sense yeah so yeah after the local news wraps up all these people come in and they're like well here's like 30 like everyone like gives them like 30 bucks total tops dude I was looking at the prop placement of these bills
Starting point is 01:19:22 people are throwing like singles at them and it's like oh here's that time I came in for a can of soup dollar and they're like writing their name in this ledge or whatever and he just keeps being like Thank you so much. Shine my book and live deliciously. Just put the dollar in my underwear.
Starting point is 01:19:40 Okay, you gave me a dollar for that package of bologna. I'm not going to kill your family now. You're clear. All right, next. Who else wants to repent? Repent! Yeah, so, and then like the camera woman's like, oh my God, this is really good stuff. She's like $30, good stuff.
Starting point is 01:19:59 There is a fucking amazingly stupid line. that happens right here because like all the town comes in to pay their tabs and whatnot and you cut to this newswoman and she's on the phone and she's like we got to get back on the air stories breaking down here no no no the producer of this news show is hanging up the phone dead beats payback loan news at 11 well again this is the car this would break through the car stalled on the highway yeah yeah yeah low stakes news so it's like oh wow then And everyone goes, yay, for some reason. And then there's this montage.
Starting point is 01:20:35 And again, like, Tom Lennon eats up an hour of this movie. So much of this movie. And he goes away. And then, like, his come up and happens in a montage. Right. Where in, like, you're seeing the town rebuild itself. They're like, oh, we're going to open a Bigfoot museum. And, oh, by the way, that Tom Lennon, he was revealed to be a fake.
Starting point is 01:20:53 And he was thrown off the network. And, like, he gets literally thrown out of a building that says the word network on it. Hey, let's see that. Yeah. Oh, he's watching Daily's in the editing. That's funny. I mean, a guy cracks me up.
Starting point is 01:21:11 It could be any network because it just says network. It's amazing. Dude, this fucking Bigfoot Museum, man. First of all, he, at the giving back money ceremony that we have, he also rightfully divorces Christina Hendricks.
Starting point is 01:21:30 He's like, you want to go have fun, and I just want to stand behind this counter my whole life fantasizing about murdering everyone here. So you go off and do that and we'll be divorced. And then he turns to Judy Greer immediately. And he's like, hey, about that rain check for some of that famous jiffy pop you make.
Starting point is 01:21:46 Let's do it so we can get fucking. Yeah, but she's been ready this whole movie. Ready the whole movie. This is also like this is a clear sign. Hit on your employees. Oh, all the time. Go in for the kill. All the time.
Starting point is 01:22:01 Especially if you're the only two there. But he and Judy Greer take out a loan from the bank to open the Sasquatch Museum, dude. Steve, were you trying to say who would go to a Sasquatch Museum? I would. Well, no, here's the thing. Who would go to a Sasquatch Museum in? I went to a wax museum about the history of Canary Row. But no, this is the thing.
Starting point is 01:22:23 In the site of a now famous, in the site of a now famous hoax. Right. If it's like, oh, yeah, if it was like, they said that this, wherever they're, that like big butt Sasquatch was if that has a museum right like that's like oh no one known i think that's willow creek the cardiff giant yeah that's a famous hoax where so they tried to pretend that there was like a giant buried and i think it might have been upstate new york i think there might even be a museum or something like that there is some little there's always a rinkly yeah that's fair but is that shit first of all this saskatch museum is massive second we never
Starting point is 01:22:58 see inside it but third like is it enough that this shit is going to save the town? Well, that's the thing is what they put money into to open this is the old mill. Like, it's the actual Pottersville mill. God, damn. I forgot that the start of the movie, it's like, well, the old mill is quite. It's an actual old mill. Yeah, 2017 old mill, man. And so that probably employed, I don't know, 30 people at tops. Actually, wait, cabin, you just solved this country's crisis, man. Open the mill. This is what we do with all those fucking coal miners. We close their coal mines and we make them open big foot museums.
Starting point is 01:23:40 Museums to fantastical creatures. Yes, of course. And think about West Virginia, you've got the moth man right there. He's right there. Right there. With that bridge collapsed. Yeah. In that movie that one time.
Starting point is 01:23:54 So the place that once employed a couple people probably now at Topps employs three. yeah so yeah bringing it bringing it all back still pretty good america sounds pretty great to me chris does it does it really jobs so i think honestly the most terrifying part of this movie happens in the very last shot because judy greer and michael shannon have to kiss on camera and it has to be like sweet yeah it's not it's weird i can't remember a time when i've seen seen Michael Shannon kiss somebody else so I assumed something would come out of his mouth bloom and then attach to something in Judy Greer's mouth they kissed when they got those WrestleMania tickets oh did they they at least hugged I think that might have been a kiss
Starting point is 01:24:45 well I mean this is like if the Frankenstein monster fucking finally got to make out with bride of Frankenstein you know what I mean hey Judy Greer it sounds like you you when you get excited you probably squuck I can I can make you squawk have you ever have you ever She's a avatar? I mate like that. Do you ever dress as a bird? And then it's dumb because they're making out and there's like a
Starting point is 01:25:14 Sasquatch roar and they both look like, now was that the Sasquatch? And random movies. Right after they kiss. Of course, Ian McShane for no fucking reason is right behind them in his car just leering. That's where he wings. He's like, you got it, buddy.
Starting point is 01:25:29 This was my whole plan to get you with Judy Moonshine for you. Can I just say I didn't know that was supposed to be a saskratch roar when they look Oh, yeah. I thought it was like the roar of the crowd. Like the whole town is happy they got together. And I was like, oh, they just couldn't, they just didn't afford extras that day. No. No, it's definitely like a ur-oh-oh.
Starting point is 01:25:53 And they both look like, oh, say. So what of an idea that was not entered into this movie ever before? entered now. Yeah. That would have been better if they entered that earlier that there were
Starting point is 01:26:04 there's a real Sasquatch run there was that's the thing you do right? Oh my God and you could do like the duck soup scene in the woods with Michael Shannon
Starting point is 01:26:12 and that's a lot of fun and now this movie is called Pottersville calling a Sasquatch Christmas and it makes much more sense because the Sasquatch winds up saving Christmas somehow.
Starting point is 01:26:21 I don't know how I mean I didn't write Bottorsville but you know Santa Slay breaks down and then he finds the Sasquatch and chains him to the sleigh and whips him
Starting point is 01:26:31 and he's able to deliver all the presents to the boys and girls. That is totally the right call though. This movie needs everything where Judy Greer's like, like, tensions run high and she's like, whatever, Maynard, everybody knows that it's you. And then as Michael Shannon is standing
Starting point is 01:26:47 there, the Sasquatch Monster like runs by. It's kind of a Scooby-Doo gag too. It is. Oh, very much is. Or also like a Harry and the Henderson's perhaps. You know? Actually, Michael Shannon would make a good shaggy. A very, a very somber scary shaggy but a good shaggy hey scoob we're gonna have to put you down hey scoob you hear you hear about all those manson murders
Starting point is 01:27:10 we're gonna investigate the ranch oh it was just that hippie guy the whole time the hippie guy from the start at the beach boys cover band uh the beach boys recorded a song that he wrote i don't remember which one it was Helter Skelter. No, that's the Beatles. So would anybody recommend Pottersville? No. It's even like worse than in these. I watch a lot of these during the holiday season.
Starting point is 01:27:38 The holiday season, which are those like shitty lifetime and or Hallmark Christmas movies, those things, which are like paint dry, but it's a movie. Those are so much better than Potter's life. How many times in those movies is a Christian saving Christmas? Some are Christian, some are entire. Is that right? Summer Christians, some are very much like. And it's Christmas for no reason.
Starting point is 01:27:59 It's like, oh, this, this, this, like, you know, advertising company is going to go under. And it's Christmas for no reason. Well, you never want things to go under at Christmas, man? Mm-hmm. But, yeah, so, yeah, it's worse than that, I say no. And it's kind of, it's an oddity. It's a real, the fact that it's Shannon makes it an oddity. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:18 Yeah, it's worth seeing for that. The oddity factor is big on this sucker. I do not agree that these are, this is worse than those Lifetime movies. those Lifetime movies are impossible to watch. But it does, I will give it. The opening credits fonts, definitely ripped from a lifetime movie. Oh, absolutely sure. A Marvista entertainment kind of situation.
Starting point is 01:28:41 Marvista, is that real? Oh, dude, they make so many of those. Oh, really? Quite a lot. Is it owned by a dude named Marvista? Hey, this is Marvista. You got movies, I'll buy them. It's that.
Starting point is 01:28:55 It's the Manson thing, but it's Saturday, Christmas, and I'll buy it. I would recommend this just because it's so bizarre and it's not good obviously but it's well yeah I mean at the start of the show we told people to fucking stop and go watch it yeah I mean I'm kind of
Starting point is 01:29:11 in the same boat with you I think it's a seeing is believing even if you've heard us ramble on through this and you haven't watched it yet it's just such an annoying combination of like we're making a Christmas movie we're ripping off like it's a wonderful life golly g kind of shit but then also like we have the furry angle
Starting point is 01:29:30 and the whatever else we're trying to make this like an offbeat black comedy type thing and it's just it's such a spectacular failure at every turn yes that to me yeah go ahead and the real girl in here too right like it's the town yeah the town like sort of gets behind this whole thing yeah yeah yeah there's like a lot
Starting point is 01:29:48 of sex stuff in general like talking about like how sap because you know what it's libido call back an old reference to this show We might be fucking on Christmas. We might be fucking on Christmas. And some of these furries were fucking on Christmas, man.
