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.
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,
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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?
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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
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
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
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
Look like a fucking
teddy bear
exactly
that's how
sweet she is
remember she's all
like sad
and he's like
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
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
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
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
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.
You can't make the movie.
I really, I fought for you, man.
We just got through his season of the Americans.
Dylan Baker.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, God.
My God. Dylan Baker is a fucking treasure.
He's amazing.
He is an acting treasure.
But yeah, if you see the DVD, you're like, oh, cool.
Like Michael Shannon, Ron, Perlman, Ian McShane, someone's got a gun, I bet.
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
It's didn't Sam Ramey direct the movie with like Bill Paxton?
Oh a simple plan.
Yeah.
Oh yes like wintery.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah that's the most depressing movie ever made
It's very good
I remember it being very good
Until fucking Pottersville roll out of it now now
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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, he's got that Stars show.
American God, yeah.
He was on Game of Thrones briefly.
He was botched character that was better in the book, yeah.
Oh, bummer.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
play his wife yes
that's pretty awesome they switch
they switch off
man this is like that fucking wachowski's show
oh sense eight yeah
wait what is that people switch brains
i don't really know
they're like all they can connect
like they can connect to each other so like all of them can go and fight where one person is like
speaking of connecting to each other yes they uh Ron Perlman and Christian Hendricks are having
furry sex together or furry canoodling uh there is that is that a technical term I don't know
so they're Ron Perlman swears that they don't fuck yes right they just get in these suits and
brush up against each other he's dry humping uh yeah so he's dressed up as a wolf and she's dressed up
as a bunny.
Yeah.
And they are...
He's gonna eat her.
Eat her up.
Yeah.
He's gonna eat her up.
Mm-hmm.
And Maynard comes in there, like, and he takes out his gun, and he's just, like, trembling.
Mm-hmm.
And he's just like, I'm gonna eat you squirrel.
Well, he keeps calling him a squirrel, and then he's like, I'm a wolf, God damn it.
And then, like...
There's no gun, by the way.
Yeah, there's no gun.
No, yeah, there should be.
There should be.
There should be.
Oh, shit.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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,
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
Jack Barker
Yeah
Oh my god
By the way
We love Tobo
We do
So put the tweet down
So yeah
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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?
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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...
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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...
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
That's Pottersville from 2017,
directed by Seth Hendrickson.
