Steve Sadek, these movies, these bonus movies, will be tangentially related in some way to something we've done in the month that they are released in. So the month of June, or January, rather, 2018, we're doing the worst of 2017.
Starting point is 00:02:13 So give the listeners who are on the fence a little teaser about what that's going to be. It's going to be a Netflix-only movie. A movie that was released only on Netflix. So that's a clue. and then I'll give a second clue. Okay. Woo! Sure.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Two of those two things. Okay. Let's see what you can shake out. I have no idea. Also, orcs. I wonder. Now, onto the boss baby, of course from 2017,
Starting point is 00:02:41 directed by Tom McGrath. Now, I haven't looked up this guy's pedigree. Any other baby movies? I mean, he does a lot of animated movies. I think he was involved in some Austin Powers. Wait, those are animated.
Starting point is 00:02:53 What? And then he also directed like a Madagat, Ascar or two. Oh, there's like 16,000 of those. Everybody see in those movies? Are you asking us? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:03 We're just people in listener land, man. I think the third one was written by Noah Bombach. Weirdly. Like, that was kind of the only thing that I came out of that whole thing. Oh, that fucking giraffe goes to France and doesn't learn anything and has to come back. Ben Stiller Lion is just like running down the street to modern love. Ben Stiller Lions wearing a stupid hat
Starting point is 00:03:27 Oh, that's so Ben Stiller Lion I love Francis Haugh Anyway, so here we are talking About the boss baby And I said up top this movie Disturbing It's disturbing It's terrifying
Starting point is 00:03:41 Eerie I would even say And I'll tell you why I would say inappropriate for children Also inappropriate for children Inappropriate NSF anyone man I think it's also Totally fine to say at this point
Starting point is 00:03:52 that we were four childless men in their mid-thirties. Of course, but I'll tell you this, I saw some people, so we are recording this well before Christmas 2017, is the idea. So when I was tweeting at the time, my God, I just watched
Starting point is 00:04:08 The Boss Baby. I used one of my favorite gifts of all time that dude bob in his head and then he puts a revolver to it. What is that from? I don't know. And please anyone out there listening,
Starting point is 00:04:18 tell me the source material for that. I want to watch that whole movie. It's my favorite gif. I thought it was just an Arby's commercial. Arby's, we've got the meat. Shoot yourself in the head. A lot of people responded to me on Twitter saying that they have kids, and the kids were repeating the lines from the movie,
Starting point is 00:04:39 and the parents were wholly embarrassed by it. So, yeah, we don't have children, but people with children have also said this movie's fucking weird. For sure. It's a creepy movie. So also the other thing about, Here's the thing. This movie, it opens up a whole world of like baby stuff. I thought
Starting point is 00:04:58 this movie was just he's a baby that talks like Alec Baldwin and he wears a suit. And that, my friends, is just the tip of the ice cream. It's inception. It really is. It's what it is. That's, we're not kidding here. Well, the idea of the movie, the idea of
Starting point is 00:05:14 the book is totally fine. There's a book? Yeah, it's a little kid's book. And it's like, you know, probably, I haven't read it. It's like probably 16 pages. And the idea is like, Oh, when the baby comes into your life, he's the boss because he's always whining and he takes over your life. Right. Yeah, he calls the shots. He calls the shots.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Much like a boss. And you see a little bit of this in the movie, like the montage of like the baby, like, you know, and the kid gets jealous, et cetera. And like, and I'm sure like most kids' books, it ends with everybody taking a nice nap together. Or if it involves animals, it's like a bunch of people. Do you not take a nap with animals? If it involves, look, do you say like lays with animals? There's two children. with animals, man? If it's about adults
Starting point is 00:05:54 and children, everyone takes a nice sleep. If it's about animals, learning a lesson about something, they all have a birthday party on a tree stop. Like, that's the only two ways a children's book can end. Okay. Can I mention the start of this film? Sure. The older brother is imagining
Starting point is 00:06:10 his family as gorillas. Yeah. Yes. And he's imagining abusing these gorillas. Yeah. I was like, what is this Jeffrey Dahmer's shit? I mean, this kid is disturbed. This kid is beyond belief. Because I kept on thinking there'd be like this twist that this was all in his mind.
Starting point is 00:06:29 That's what I thought. This is Norman Bates. This is Norman Bates as a child doing child things. And of course he's going to be fucked up, man. The narration from the future is by Toby McGuire. You know he's going to grow to be a weirdo. Yeah. Was this the first member of the Pussy Pussy to voice a kid's movie or no?
Starting point is 00:06:46 Oh, my God. Okay, let's go through the members of Stephen Sadek's Pussy. It's not my, but I wish it. Well, you brought it to my attention. The way is, has Lucas Haas? Leo is an absolute no. No, I don't think so. The king of the pussy pot.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And to explain to people, please. You know, some people might not have heard of this thing, so please go. It was a crew of cool dudes. The coolest. I'd wager. In the mid to late 90s into the mid to 2000s. And I mean, I still think today. I think there's a secret pussy potty.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Yeah, Circa of the beach. It was Leo. It was Leonardo DiCaprio It was Toby McGuire Lucas Haas for some reason David Blaine for some reason Dave Plain? Yeah man
Starting point is 00:07:32 Oh God I'm gonna make your virginity disappear I just need to use the bathroom Well don't worry I just have to climb this box for three days Wasn't Kevin Connolly part of it? I believe so yes Yes
Starting point is 00:07:45 Jesus Yeah Well he's not he's got he's been a cartoon right Kevin Connolly I'm just guessing That stinks of robot chicken. Oh, yeah. Seth Green was not involved in the pussyposs.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Really? I think that he tried to get in. He said some applications. Well, he was kind of bigger before that, right? Yeah, he's probably the same age as Leo, I think. Around, around there, yeah. I'm sure he's doing well around Airborne. You ever see that movie?
Starting point is 00:08:15 Oh, his rollerblading movie? Yes, that's a stay tuned. It's kind of got a soft spot in my heart. Oh, I love that movie. So yeah, I'm sorry. So yes, Toby McGuire is this adult. He's talking about all of his imaginations he used to have as a kid that he still remembers for some reason. And for some reason, they always involve him saving his parents. Or abusing animals. One or the other. If I'm imagining something, my parents aren't involved. It's like me and Superman, we're going to fucking do something. Yeah. If I'm a kid, you know, just thinking. Yeah, if I'm a kid imagining something, my parents have been dead for a hundred years. Exactly. set in the future
Starting point is 00:08:51 when my parents have been dead for 100 years. Eric lives in the earth from, what's that Tom Cruise movie? Oblivium? You know, we're getting there. We're getting there. We are getting there.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Hey, fingers crossed for 2018, man. Maybe you could get a job as a drone repairman, which is Tom Cruise's job. Right. So this movie, by the way, has no definite setting, which is obnoxious.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Yeah. You don't know when this movie takes place. It's just Toby McGuire is saying a lot of like, well, back then I was blah blah, blah. Back then I was doing that. And the only thing you can glean from the setting of this film is like there's no cell phones. And there doesn't appear to be any like computers. No.
Starting point is 00:09:33 That would really complicate this, I think. Yeah. Oh, that's what would complicate it. Setting it. I mean, it's already complicated it. So is this set in the past? I don't know. Like, I really think they just scrubbed it of any signifiers.
Starting point is 00:09:47 It's weird like. that. I need something. Although this kid has an alarm clock, which is just quoting Ian McKellen as Gandalf the entire time. It's like a rip-off lines. Did the boss maybe production get sued or did
Starting point is 00:10:02 DreamWorks stomp that out? Because it's like, this is a Gandalf clock and nobody paid the Tolkien estate anything. Apparently it's a nod to Ralph Bakshi, who by the way, his grandson plays the kid. Yes. I was actually wondering that. Like something
Starting point is 00:10:18 Baxi. Yeah, that's not a name his grandson plays a cartoon? Yes. He does the voice. And I bet Grandpa Baxi would have loved this shit. No, not at all. Is Ralph Baxchie still around? I don't, maybe not.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Killed in a tire fire? That sounds about right. A pornography explosion? You can't go into that porno still? But the good stuff's still in there. My cats are in there. It's got a blow. So his parents work for a company called Puppy Co.
Starting point is 00:10:54 The Templetons. The Templetons. Right. Mr. Mrs. Templeton voiced by... Jimmy Kimmel is the dad and Lisa Kudrow is the mom. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I think these Templetons, by the way, might be Freemasons or Illuminati or something like that. Because in this opening narration, I guess it's Toby McGuire, is talking about how the triangle is the strongest shape. Yeah. Right. That's very weird. Very, very odd. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:23 And it's like the triangle represents father, son, and child. And it's like, we're going down a weird path. Wait, wait. Father, son and child? Father, mother. That's a straight line, by the way. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Well, he has this line about like, oh, the triangle is the thing you can find most in nature. Yes. And I'm like, yeah. So, yeah, that makes sense, Eric, actually. I'm with you on this one. That's so weird.
Starting point is 00:11:48 I didn't even. even catch that. Now I'm even more terrified by this movie. That's why it's on the back of the dollar. He is Ralph Bocci's still alive. Sorry. Oh, okay. Congratulations. At the time of this recording. One of the things I hate is
Starting point is 00:12:02 so he's talking about like they're like tuck in time ritual and it's like read me five books or read me three books give me five hugs and sing me a song and the song they're always singing is Blackbird by the Beatles. I'm like so your good night tune
Starting point is 00:12:18 is a song that Paul McCartney wrote in solidarity with black women during the civil rights movement? I mean, I fucking guess so. That's weird. No, it just sounds good. I mean, who cares? I mean, honestly, who cares?
Starting point is 00:12:31 Just like, what the flying fuck? Little white kids slightly uncomfortable. We're going to fix that right away. That's the best, like, and you know this kid's issue. I mean, if the fantasies, you know, weren't disturbing enough he says He wants to date his parents Well there's that
Starting point is 00:12:52 I was going to say He's they're like Hey would you like to have a baby brother And he says no thanks I'm enough Yeah that's that's disturbing That's eerie How are we all going to fit in that bed Well you're 21 years old
Starting point is 00:13:08 So you're hoping To have a baby brother So yes We cut to baby core Which is It's a rock movement out of Long Island No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:13:24 I would totally believe you. No, baby core is a... Somebody's going to tweet, well, actually, you made a joke, but Baby Corr developed out of San Francisco.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Yeah. Well, we'll have fun with that. Honestly. Enjoy yourself. So it would be like, what, like a combo of Well, no, it would be like G.G. Allen, right? You'd be like shitting yourself on stage. But you'd wear a diaper, God damn it.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Oh, I see. So it's a little cleaned up. Man, Gigi Allen did not have the fucking common courtesy to wear a diaper. You just fucking shitting his hand in through to people. And there are people that will tell you that that guy was a genius. And those people are wholly incorrect. I saw an Elvis impersonator pee on people. Yeah, Extreme Elvis. He played our college. I know. I think he's dead now.
Starting point is 00:14:12 He is. Oh, good. Sounds about right. So we go to Baby Corps, which is a corporate. in the sky. Yeah. This is all, because it's not,
Starting point is 00:14:21 it's not heaven. No. It's just a thing in the sky that is this like conglomerate type thing where babies are doing work. And this was where I was like, wait,
Starting point is 00:14:34 what the fuck is in this movie? I thought he was just dancing in a suit. That would be fine. Like we would all learn something about, oh, the new baby needs attention. No, no, but we're in this baby core and like there's a,
Starting point is 00:14:46 there's a rubric where, you go through this process and if you can't be tickled you're labeled management. Right. If you giggle when you're tickled, you go to the earth and get a family.
Starting point is 00:14:59 This is, by the way, Tobin McGuire starts, we see this in the movie because Toby McGuire is like, this is how my parents told me that babies are born. Which is why this whole fucking thing doesn't make any sense
Starting point is 00:15:11 because he's saying the parents said this, parents know that you fuck and a kid comes out if you get pregnant. But, you know, like, this is a point of contention in the movie, I think, that he knows about fucking the kid. He does. He does. He clearly knows. There's a joke later. He whispers to boss baby. Yeah. Oh, right. That, like, my parents fucked to make me. Where did you come from? For sure. This is, I think, an invention of the movie. This is a reality. Yeah. Yeah. I think it is, too. I think. I think they are making, and that's the confusing part, as we'll go on with this movie, they kind of jump back and forth on that one.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Yes, they don't really, they don't really know what they want to do with that. Like, I'm hazy about this whole thing. Where is baby core even located? It would just be in the sky. It's in heaven, right? It's like where if we were going to use like mythology of our own, like where the storks go.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Yeah, right. Yeah. To get the babies. Talk about, by the way, another movie that nobody fucking saw about babies, storks. A man fucks a lady. Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Or a lady fucks a man. And the seed goes into the egg. Uh-huh. And how is that getting to heaven to be supplied into baby queen? No, in this baby core world, man, there's no fucking. No, but the parents are made on like a conveyor belt. But the parents do say, they tell the kid. Yep.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Oh, so I wasn't wrong. No, that they tell the kid that they do fuck. Right. But then doesn't he say at the beginning, this is how, this is where babies come from? And then it's like, ba-b-b-da-da-da-da- Right. And it's a bunch of babies on a fuck. But I'm thinking the stork comes in late at night, gets down into the lady, pulls out the egg, flies it to heaven, puts it in the baby core machinery. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:16:59 We don't see the machinery. But the thing is, it's canonical to this film. When does the blood ritual come in? Much later. It's canonical to this film that parents have sex to produce a child, and yet it's made in this factory in the sky at the same time. And then delivered by taxi. Oh, you know what? That's the soul maybe.
Starting point is 00:17:19 I think that would almost make sense. Wait, but then, so why does the boss baby go to this house? Is he an undercover boss? Yes, he is. That's the thing. He went there on special assignment. He's wearing a wire. Kill him.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Cut this boss baby's head off. I do want, we should get to this baby corps sequence because when he's being separated because there was a joke there that I, one of the first where I was like Who is this for? That's a great question. One of the mysteries of the ages man How are the Pyramids built and who is Boss Baby for?
Starting point is 00:17:54 Okay, so they are separated into management and family And Boss Baby is separated, Alec Baldwin Boss Baby is separated over to management And he gets on the binky line And all of them, but he's upside down. Yep. So his ass. He's going to get this binkie up his ass.
Starting point is 00:18:12 And he realizes it. He gets it in his head. The baby, the baby understands that the pinkie's going to go up his bottle. You totally see Boss Baby be like, oh my God, that's going to go up my fucking ass. Hard, the audience is just like, hard, hard, that boss baby almost got a bitch fire up his ass. Exactly. Right in his dush. Right in his fucking tush.
Starting point is 00:18:37 You know what, dude, there's so much animating of baby ass in this movie. You want to get one. you get one you get fucking this much get out of my face and here's another thing there are ways to animate nude babies sure and it's just like look at this cute but there are shots in this movie of these cartoon babies going down slides fucking spread eagle and there is zero genitalia to be found nary a baby dick in this movie they're fucking except for one part later the fucking asses are jiggling like they're laura croft in that game tomb raider yes and that's a super mario But this is the problem. Later in the movie, you got a frontal baby shot, and we've got the blur. So it's like, okay, I get it. You know, if you're bashful about the front, you got to be bashful about the back. I can't have it both ways. Is that true? Show the cartoon dick. No, or don't show anything is my, where I'm going to. You know what, even better. Even better. The Simpsons had it right, man. Finally, I got to see Bart Simpson's penis.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Yes. Finally in that movie, I got to see Bart Simpson's penis. Something I know all the fans were clambering at more. I thought that was illegal on the internet. yeah it's just a lot of baby ass a lot of it at a certain point he farts baby powder and it's like you know what dude toot and it sprays out oh disgusting so the boss baby gets summoned everything's going great for this kid he's got a very thorough imagination the boss baby gets summoned and he starts john goodman dancing into the white house
Starting point is 00:20:07 walking a little bit yes dude he is he's dancing like a blues brother Steve, I'm going to give you credit for this, but it's such a fabulous fucking word. All throughout this movie, the boss baby is sashaying all over. He's dancing down this sidewalk, man. It's walking with your ass. Some people lead with their stomach.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Some people lead with their heads and people leave with their shoulders. This baby leads with his ass. It is so dumb. This baby gets out of a cab, and he's like, I feel good. And he's just fucking dancing. And then like he gets to the door And they're like, hey man
Starting point is 00:20:44 Your brother's here And it's weird because a few minutes earlier In the film when the dad is like Hey would you like a baby brother And he says no I'm fine They cut to like this shot at you see the three of them The mother is clearly pregnant Yeah where did the baby go
Starting point is 00:20:59 Good question like so That's what I'm saying dude The Stork took it But you were saying it takes Pay me my price You're saying it takes Pay me my price I've delivered a bus speed
Starting point is 00:21:10 I need the rest. What are you doing? That's a stork. That's an evil stork. That's an evil stork that wants the blood ritual. Yes, exactly. Pardon me for not following it. And it's just the pregnant lady comes in, something terrible happened.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Eric is saying, hang on a second. Hang on a second. No, because this is flawed because Eric said the stork steals the zygote. This woman clearly has a baby bump. Okay. Well, that's. It's a steep priced for a boss baby, my friend. That's all I'm going to say.
Starting point is 00:21:44 The Storke wants a price. This movie is ill-conceived. For sure, though, the boss baby is not that baby. Oh, shit. But then the woman's not pregnant, though. No, she is, dude. It's up at Baby Corp being held in, like, one of their, like, units. Containment?
Starting point is 00:22:01 Yeah, yeah. Containment unit, man. Like the Ghostbusters. Because this kid's got one. It's a baby. If you shut down that containment unit, There'll be so many births on earth. It'll be a river of slime.
Starting point is 00:22:15 And Jimmy Kimmel plays the dad. So he's like, hey, it's your new brother, Mahershala. Imagine we, imagine that was a real name. I know we're all white in this room. It's cool. Mahershala. You know, we're almost up to the next Academy Awards. And at that point, we can't do that joke anymore.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Yeah. It'll be officially dated. We've got like, we've got like, it'll be dated. Yeah, no, dude, we have eight weeks left to make Mahershala jokes. God damn it. So, yeah, he, the baby's there. Like, oh, it's the baby. And this is where we get the boss baby
Starting point is 00:22:45 montage where it's like, oh, the baby calls meetings at all hours of the night. The baby, you know what I mean? Yeah, and it's just like, it's parents handling a newborn kind of a thing. Although it's weird again, because I thought this whole time, I was like, all of this boss baby shit
Starting point is 00:23:00 is in this younger kid's head. Yes, exactly. The little boys had Tim. But it's not because it can't be. It can't be. The parents, you hear the mother at one point, she's like, isn't as soon. really cute I was like wait a second
Starting point is 00:23:12 she can see that and you're letting him wear it every day that's what you're doing it makes no sense just make it part of his imagination you've already established that yeah we already saw him fight his gorilla parents it wrote it one way and then was like no backspace back and it's a cute
Starting point is 00:23:28 idea that's what you have is a cute idea that's what he sees it's like oh man that boss baby and then he learns oh we're all boss babies or whatever the fuck he learns and that's the end of the movie everybody's a little bit of a boss baby and the movie's 83 minutes. That's a movie. That would be nice. Animated movies should not be over 90
Starting point is 00:23:44 minutes. If you're one second over 90 minutes, fuck you. Yes. Yes. It's a crime. It is a crime. But do we hold like Pixar movies to those standards? I do. How long is Wall 8? It's probably like it. It's two hours. It's definitely too long. I just think all animated movies should like
Starting point is 00:23:59 comedy should be 90 minutes flat. Animated movies should be no more than 90 minutes over. You know what I mean? 80s. I give it 100. You should be in the 80s. Oh, no way, man. A hundred. Hundreds are cutoff. Hell no. You know what? You know what? You know what? 30 minutes.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Well, that's a card. Like all Miyazaki movies, two hours. Okay. Those are longer. 30 minutes. You know, like Wally, 84 minutes. Wally, 98 minutes. That's all right. Which I think for a contemporary film. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Not bad. It's okay. But this movie, this ill-conceived boss baby, 83 minutes, get the fuck out of my face. And that eight, eight minutes extra is okay because it's credits and Fred Willard. That's true. Fair enough. So, yeah, so this is all happening.
Starting point is 00:24:44 He's like, oh, I hate this boss baby. I used to have all this, you know, all of my parents' attention. Now I don't. Yeah. I guess the movie starts to turn when the play date happens. Is that correct? Well, he, he, he find the, the older kid, he, Tim, is it? Yeah, Tim's Tim.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Tim finds him talking to Baby Corp. Oh, that's right. He walks in on him talking to the head of Baby Corp. Because he's on one of those toy telephones, but it turns out, it actually goes up into baby core, which is adjacent to heaven. Yes, is a satellite of heaven. Baby core, heaven's next door neighbor. It's a satellite nation, right? It's like Poland and the USSR or whatever.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Well, this is kind of reminded me like the Americans a little bit, right? It's a little deep in there. So, yeah, yeah, I mean, then they have this play day. He's got his suspicions and he's like, this baby's talking. I need evidence that this baby could talk. Well, they have a conversation right at this part, though, because the boss baby sees that the jig is up, and he's like, well, fuck it, let's just do this.
Starting point is 00:25:50 And it's like, I need fucking California roll or I need a spicy tuna roll really badly. Where's the best sushi restaurant? He's throwing fucking money at this kid. It's very, where's this? I don't care if you're from baby land. You shouldn't be aware of sushi. It shouldn't be as Contemporized
Starting point is 00:26:12 Well, he shouldn't have a concept of like adult living He knows everything He's like an adult Let me just say we don't know how old he is He's been drinking this super special formula We have to just talk about this It keeps you young from ever And I think it comes from God's tits
Starting point is 00:26:33 Man I'd love to suckle at the teat of the Lord. Yes. That's teats. Man, yeah, it's so dumb. That's like the whole thing of this movie is they stay babies, by the way.
Starting point is 00:26:46 The word he uses is forever. Yeah. Because they drink this formula. So I was like, forever. Are they also immortal beings? I think they are. They're like Highlanders.
Starting point is 00:26:54 It's like Christopher Lambert was a baby. But it's only because they're not aging so like they don't get old and sick and their organs don't break down. And also here's the thing that he's like, oh, give me a sushi roll, give me this. And later he's eating pizza.
Starting point is 00:27:05 So like, it's also weird. that like a, now he's just a grown man acting like a baby. You know what I mean? Like he's got a baby bobby and also does he have teeth? How is he eating hard food? I mean, the sushi I understand, but that slice, I don't know how you're getting that down. There's just no way. There's just no way. There's just no way.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Even Pizza rat had trouble with it. Pizza rat struggled quite a bit. Maybe he gets the cheese to like melt off into his mouth. Do we know if pizzaette's still alive? Did he make it? You know what? I don't know. He might live with Ralph Backsheet.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Didn't it turn out that pizza rat was a hoax? What do you mean it was a hoax? It was a dude who had, like, trained a rat. Oh, was it Ralph Boxing? Come on. All right, I haven't made a movie in a long time. All right, Ratkins, go get him. My rat, rat, ratkins.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Go to the dollar place. We'll be internet famous. Also, but definitely bring that slice back. I'm starving. Get the cold slices. They're cheaper. I don't care that it touch the subway ground. Oh, good God, man.
Starting point is 00:28:09 The subway grounds holding Toledo, the subway ground. Dude, I saw, let me tell you this. I saw the other day in the subway a parent allowing two of their children to sit on the ground in the subway station. I wanted to throw up on them. That's only for drunk people who have given up on life. Yes, that's the only thing. That is 100% the only. That is only for me 10 years ago.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Yeah. I was going to say, I used to watch. Chris Cabin sit on subway stairs like from across the platform and be like, I'm drunk, he's drunker, he's sitting on the stairs. So the boss baby is, he has a play date and all these other babies come
Starting point is 00:28:51 and I don't understand this part. I mean, I don't understand any of this movie, but like, so boss baby says, hey, look, I'm here for a very specific reason to, for Baby Corps on a secret mission and I have this. And that's why I'm talking because I'm a boss base. That's why I'm talking. Are these other
Starting point is 00:29:06 get boss babies as well? Are they under boss babies? They must be under bosses. They're like interns and shit. No, they have to be in some kind of managerial position. Really? I thought they were just regular babies that came under the spell of this alpha baby. Oh, I see. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:29:22 Well, there's like the little girl and she's like probably the best of this baby. They all report to baby course, so they have to be into some... They actually report to baby course? Yeah. Well, there's the triplets. They report to boss baby because they understand his when he does the whole uh because he does a presentation that's the
Starting point is 00:29:40 whole thing and it's it's like he's selling him a timeshare except for it's like an extinction event see no like essentially he's he's down there undercover and he's recruiting like a splinter cell oh i don't think they've actually touched baby heaven baby corps but they're talking they're walking around yeah and they referred to him as the boss but can babies communicate with other babies. Oh, I don't know. In, like, an IRL? Yeah, this is like a philosophical question.
Starting point is 00:30:10 No, I guess to your point, that makes sense. It's like in movies like this, like the humans leave the room, the animals start talking. The kids leave the room, the toys start talking. But I guess it really doesn't matter. It also doesn't make any sense. There's a muscle baby, I want to mention. Yeah. Jimbo?
Starting point is 00:30:28 Or the fat, slow one? Bimpo. I don't forget. Bumpo. Not bumpo again. It's like a little girl, it's this little fat baby, and then it's these triplets that are like yes men to the boss baby. Sure. Which is cute. Yeah, that's as close to cute as it gets.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Wait, no, art imitates life. Life imitates art. That's right. Oh, yeah, we should make the boss baby. You're right. Oh, yeah. The boss baby sounds like a great, great, great, great, great. Well, this is the main part of the plot is that he tells them that puppy co, which is where the parents were.
Starting point is 00:31:04 they are coming out with a special puppy and then nobody's going to want to have kids anymore sounds good to me man genetically engineered soulless vessel it's disgusting this is a very like it's a millennial joke right us these millennials all they want to do is
Starting point is 00:31:25 they love their puppy videos they love their cats and they don't want to fucking have kids and struggle who can afford it How dare these kids not want to have babies and be miserable? I mean, you know, it's, well, so here's the thing. They're saying, like, babies are not as loved as dogs, is the idea. Puppies, specifically. And puppies are currently, like, winning the love race.
Starting point is 00:31:54 It's kind of hilarious because the economy, I don't understand it. They have a pie chart. There's a pie chart, exactly. That's like, you can see the puppies, you can see the babies. I noticed a cat a very small slice understandably and then like some other things
Starting point is 00:32:09 I couldn't really make out but so this is the thing is like the boss baby has to stop Pupico from releasing this new dog into the world is the idea
Starting point is 00:32:20 and so Tim is like all right this baby's talking and he's asking for sushi I got to get this shit on tape so he's like secretly recording this presentation
Starting point is 00:32:31 that the boss baby is giving to these other babies and they like find it find out about it like beat the shit out of it well there is the great and I mean like this is a joke that kids love people who've only seen Glenn Gary Glenn Ross and no one is the cookies are for closers line that was Chris I don't know if you know that must have killed with the five year olds
Starting point is 00:32:55 oh wait wait you kids haven't seen any jack lemon movies do you think this line was like the writers being like we have Alec here let's write it or do you think this was A B like you know it would be kind of funny if I said cookies were for clothes Oh no, he would not want to do this This is a this is the reason
Starting point is 00:33:14 Yeah they were doing we have any indication On how much money he made for this movie Because it's got to be a fuck ton Yeah, this thing destroyed at the box off Oh yeah This thing was a tight Huge hit That apparently Netflix is going to be developing this
Starting point is 00:33:28 Into a series or limited series They would have to explain this fucking universe it would have to be they have to have five seasons at least they're already trying the longest part of developing this show for Netflix is going to be finding someone who can sound like Alec Baldwin because you know
Starting point is 00:33:44 Alec Baldwin is not returning you never know man like he'll do a boss baby sequel I bet but Netflix TV I don't know the tragedy is they cut the original ending of the movie is at the end Tim goes up to the boss
Starting point is 00:34:00 baby's like what about my daughter and the boss baby goes fuck you and then closes the door and then Alan Arkin asks him for a slice I would love it if boss baby two opens and there it's raining outside and they're
Starting point is 00:34:16 like eating in a Chinese restaurant and there's like flashing neon signs it would be fucking great I was just waiting for boss baby to try to get back with Melanie Griffith and Harris boss baby you got the memory of a fucking fly cookies are for closes
Starting point is 00:34:34 whatever which like and then later when there's that surreal backyard scene oh my god we're at it right now they fucking blast
Starting point is 00:34:45 the SWAT theme yep who is that again please who is this for it's for all the fans of the new what's his name SWAT remake TV show
Starting point is 00:34:57 there's a new one they're doing it dude are you fucking kidding me no it's you're not even own a TV? Or maybe perhaps you've never seen a bus. The ads are everywhere. I don't see buses often.
Starting point is 00:35:16 It's with Shemar Moore, man. Oh, it is? I have no idea. There's two big action set pieces that weigh this movie down like a fucking brick. Right. And they take 10 minutes and who are they for? What are they doing this? It's a comedy.
Starting point is 00:35:29 It's colors going by the screen. The babies go, ha ha. But the adults like go, I get that. I will say there was a gag during this that I thought was pretty ish funny. When they're like,
Starting point is 00:35:47 Tim's like hanging on to a car. It's like this high speed chase. The boss baby's driving this car. It cuts to the parents and they're like, oh look, the boys are getting along now. And it cuts to outside. And it's just this little baby car going like a half a mile an hour.
Starting point is 00:36:01 So that's the question. What is the reality? What is the reality? It's like fucking Twin Peaks. It just goes back and forth without any fucking reason. No reason. Well, you know what? Here's the thing, though, Chris.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Twin Peaks does that and we're like David Lynch is a genius. Bus baby does it. We're like, oh, it's an episode. It's an episode. We got to fucking pick one, man. I don't know. I would like to see David Lynch handle Boss baby. Oh, golly.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Gee, I don't know what the fuck's going on in this thing. My brain's fried. What if the eraser head baby Have a suit on? That'd be adorable. Eric. Blood is coming out. Spacety tuna.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Gee, Willikers, now he's dead. Let's cut to some weird woman singing a song. I love the... After birth is for closer. I love the lady in the radiator. So do I. but she's a weird lady she's got puffy cheeks it's like a chipmunk person
Starting point is 00:37:07 yes uh that maybe let me go your skin crawl big time in a good way oh yeah it's a great movie um so yeah he gets grounded and this I think crimps the boss baby's plans yes so he comes up to him and he's like look man I'm a boss baby no it doesn't make any sense
Starting point is 00:37:25 like you know what dude the movie's got to keep going this is the part where I tell you that I'm a boss baby and he's like, well, it's actually easier if I show you. And he takes out this pass of... And you know, here's the thing. If you want to have Alec Baldwin walk around, be like, change my diaper,
Starting point is 00:37:41 get me a coffee. Like, it's like, oh, I get it. He's a boss baby. But you cannot have Alec Baldwin. Context be damn. Tell anyone in an animated movie to suck it. Hey, hey, suck it. And he said repeatedly.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Suck it. Suck it repeatedly. Yes. He keeps saying suck it. And Tob, or the Ralph Baxi's grandson is like, no, you suck it. It's like, come up. Suck it. Suck it. Suck it. Suck it. Suck it. It's a pacifier and like it's a magic pacifier.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Suck it. Fire or whatever, which is gross in and of its own right. But like it should just be like, Alec Baldwin's 12th side to pacifier. It's like, you know, it's a pacifier. So that's, that's what it is. And the kid's like, wait, what? You expect me to. Suck it. Exactly. We shouldn't have a gross. Gruff disgusting Alec Baldwin's they suck it and you know they were in the studio just wink wanking at everybody man just Wink wink suck it wink isn't this funny suck it I don't have any fucking armrests left because I tore them off to my fucking couch
Starting point is 00:38:45 Let me tell you dude I was watching this movie I had no idea what was going on already Tall glasses of water were in full effect God damn it I'm watching Boston baby and I was like oh this was some bad shit this was some bad shit he's a baby saying suck it what was in this
Starting point is 00:39:09 nope that's just the movie man we're just saying suck it that's what they wanted to do that's what they thought that kids would like suck it so he does so he sucks it they both suck it in unison and they are teleported
Starting point is 00:39:25 in some strange hologram-esque way into the world, as ghosts. Yes, they're dead. They're dead. Into the baby court world. Right now they're like, yeah, they're walking around.
Starting point is 00:39:40 They can watch people, but no one can see them. They're walking, the people are walking through them much like. Yes, and the boss baby can spy on people. And they don't know he's there. It is what was on that thing. Even David Lynch is like, yeah, you lost me. This has nothing to do with you. Atomic bomb.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Jesus Christ. I mean, I made episode fucking 8 and I can't follow fucking boss baby. Jesus, gosh, darn it. Can't even fucking stomach this shit. I ain't going to fucking tell you
Starting point is 00:40:14 the eraserhead baby was a fucking horse fetus, but Jesus fucking Christ, this boss baby. Let me ask you, did the boss baby come through a hole in the wall? No. No, it makes no sense. Makes no sense. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:40:29 It's insane. And so then let's break this down for a second. Like Eric pointed out, they can't be seen and they cannot be heard. Right. So I would wager that in the world of baby core, this is some like pretty heavy duty tech that they had to invent for the shit.
Starting point is 00:40:42 For the sole purpose of what? Taking a non-baby to baby core to show them the ropes? Really, we invested all of this? No, I thought it was just poison on that binky. Oh, shit. Oh, you think they were just tripping balls? I think it's like a like a...
Starting point is 00:40:59 It's like a near-death experience. Like, they both left their bodies. Or, I mean, they dipped it in whiskey to shut them up. Oh, I see. And they're both just drunk. There's shockingly none of that in this movie. That's an easy joke that you could make in this terrible film. Well, you know what, Andrew?
Starting point is 00:41:17 Animating baby assholes for weeks on end and talking about sucking it, that's all fine. The second anyone talks about alcohol, that's inappropriate. That's inappropriate. That's not for my kids. Sorry. And I'll tell you what right now. Because the one thing I was thinking of this entire time And I don't know
Starting point is 00:41:32 I was doing that too through this movie Okay Was anybody else thinking of the baby From Roger Rabbit? Yes Yeah sure Because here's the thing Boss baby he needs a fucking cigar
Starting point is 00:41:42 God damn He needs to be chomping on a cigar That's another sin I know that's how stupid this fucking world is Smoking is a sin You can look at this fucking You can get an upshot of this baby This cartoon baby's asshole
Starting point is 00:41:55 But no no no This baby who is supposed to be a businessman man is not smoking a cigar He went to business school. These babies should be doing Coke in the bathroom. That's what it should be baby coke in the baby bathroom because
Starting point is 00:42:08 this is a fucking hardcore corporate culture working fucking 16 hour days. It's okay Tim. It's cut with baby powder. Yes, that's the joke. See? It's right there. Make your baby do cocaine.
Starting point is 00:42:22 How is it that we are not professional script consultant? Look how much better we just made the boss baby. Exactly. The now R-rated boss baby. You just need one thing where the boss, the boss baby is like, hang on a second, Tim, I'm very tired. And he just blows a huge line of baby powder is what he calls it.
Starting point is 00:42:42 And Tim's like, what's that? He's like, don't worry about it. It's a baby powder. I got to go to this, I got to use this red pacifier to go to baby downtown. Picks some shit up. You know, the other day I was walking the dog and an unsettling sight. IRL, a fucking discarded pacifier
Starting point is 00:43:03 just on the sidewalk. Oh, it chilled my bones. Hey man, you up? You got stuff. You got to help me out. I'm fucking empty. I'm empty. But if I bring my older brother Tim over. We're going to swing by. Yeah, it's cool. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:23 I have to talk to Willem Defoe tomorrow. I'm real I need something Just get me over it That's the other thing Speaking of Willem Defoe How is you're referencing American Psycho Yes
Starting point is 00:43:38 How is there no scene in this movie Where the boss baby's got a boss baby Business card Oh that'd be cute Come on You gotta save something for the sequel My friend Yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:43:46 And the TV series We are just jampacking So many fantastic boss baby ideas Into our new boss baby script Oh my God It's diaper white The font is something called Silly in Braille.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Type her white. See, we all hate movies at gmail.com for booking. So we go more elaborate stuff about baby core. He wants, he's sent on a mission by the right now Supreme Boss Baby who's a lady
Starting point is 00:44:19 who has like maybe one line in this movie because women don't say anything at all in this movie. Although I will say that I thought the entire time Lisa Kudrow was actually Lennon Parham. Yeah, you might as well. You get her for a cheaper discount.
Starting point is 00:44:32 She doesn't say fucking shit in this movie. Hey, Tim, you know, when I see a pretty girl walking down the street, I sometimes want to take her out on a fancy baby date. Sometimes I want to see what her head would look like on a popsicle. I try to put a cat into an ATM. This is so fucked up.
Starting point is 00:44:51 And all I want to do is just rewatch American Cycle. It's so fucked up. Now imagining some, like, other baby. running down the stairs away from him and he's got like a key ring that he's like got a weight to throw Not the face Not my fucking face
Starting point is 00:45:07 It takes me 45 minutes To take a shower The boss baby's doing the face peel He's doing sit-ups It would have a similar ass shot As the one to Christian Bale All right, tell me which is actually Even worse
Starting point is 00:45:24 Christian Bale in that scene saying don't stare at it, eat it, or Alec Baldwin saying, suck it. I think it's Alec Baldwin saying it's not. You are right. You are right. Okay. Okay. Don't stare at it, eat it. What a script, Mary Heron. I love
Starting point is 00:45:39 that movie. It's a great movie. So he sees a whole line of all the old boss baby. What is with this? The Boss Baby Hall of Fame? And the idea is you get retired and we don't know what that means. I thought it was killed. I thought they got a shot right in the fucking head.
Starting point is 00:45:55 I thought it's shot into the sun. how you rid yourself of a boss baby acquire exactly one rocket put the boss baby inside it and aim it at the sun well we're creating bullshit all over the place I think the retired thing is you get sent
Starting point is 00:46:15 because this happens they tell you yes they tell you oh I thought you said you didn't know what the retirement at the movie at the point of the movie they don't tell you but it's fine we're not doing linear I mean yeah who could care it's you are you're then you're sent to earth to be with
Starting point is 00:46:27 the family and you grow up. Yes. And you're removed, you no longer you have access to the super formula that makes you a baby genius. Yet you have the memories of this fantastical place where you were a tyrant. So now it's like Peter Falk and fucking wings of desire, man. I remember being a boss baby. Excuse me, ma'am. Where's my spicy tuna roll? Oh, it's the American remake of a boss baby. So it's Dennis Franz. Trade down if you ask me.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Nothing against Dennis I met him We played poker a couple of times Trade down Oh look at that That Meg Ryan baby Got hit By a truck
Starting point is 00:47:08 On a bike American remakes man That's fucking cruel What about the fucking circus Is there no circus in this movie Googoo what Dolls The fuck's a goo Goo Goo Dolls
Starting point is 00:47:25 Just tell me You got in the cave at least you got the cuckoo dolls you go hold on you go from nick cave in the bed seats to the google dolls you know what no no thank you that's fucked up I'm going to say don't want the world to see me because I don't think they'd understand
Starting point is 00:47:43 what a fucking baby isn't he like a monster in that video I think he's a monster I don't know in the goo goo dolls video I thought he was like a monster I did not see the I don't think so Johnny Resnick yeah I think he's like a monster Yeah, I think he's like a monster.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Like the idea is like, oh, like even though it's Wings of Desire, I think he's a monster. No, no, he's just dancing around like an idiot. Yeah, I thought it was just, he's dancing around on like a rooftop or something. And then it's just clips from the movie. Oh, okay, maybe I made that up. I think that was on TRL. Oh, guaranteed. I think it's skyrocketed.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Of course it was. So we find out that there was this one super big boss baby that everybody loved so much, but he got retired and who cares. Like colossal fat big baby monster? I wrote it down somewhere because it's just. Oh, wait. Super colossal, big fat boss baby. Yeah. Big fat. Super colossal, big fat boss baby. Oh, yeah, you're right. Oh, man. They call me behind my back. But like, so now and boss baby is just boss baby. All the other ones in the Hall of Fame have more adjectives. And it was just like, it's simple. You know what? Lose the the
Starting point is 00:48:55 How about just Facebook? Baby social network would also be good. Oh yeah, totally. It's a movie, man. The Vinklevost twins are like in a bathtub rowing.
Starting point is 00:49:14 I like it. You can keep Jesse Eisenberg exactly the same. Rooney Mara in a hooded sweatshirt. It's like, look, you're going to go through your whole life, thinking everybody hates you because you're a baby but it's because you're an asshole
Starting point is 00:49:26 there's somewhere I just I noticed in my notes there's a thing where the boss baby is kind of explaining to Tim like what the situation is and Tim is like are you Jesus? Yeah and it's just it's this close up
Starting point is 00:49:43 on the boss baby and he kind of smiles and he's like yes I'm Jesus and you're like oh he loved saying that line he loved it oh he fucking loved it Oh, he fucking loved it. He asked to take it a couple extra times. He's taking it for a little walk.
Starting point is 00:49:57 But that is a good point. Bringing Christ into this. Yeah. How does he fit? How does the baby Jesus fit into this whole thing? And is like, wouldn't he be management? And I guess that was a secret mission to die for our sins.
Starting point is 00:50:12 There's a weird scene where when he's talking about the whole structure of the thing is like, there is the board of directors who you actually never see. Probably you'll see that in the cartoon TV show. Those aren't what those other things. Things are, though? Things. Well, you're right. They are not babies.
Starting point is 00:50:26 They're all things. You see them in like a flashback. Right. It's like four babies. When super colossal baby comes back up, they do a back, they do like the back. Oh, and they all go guilty. Yeah. And then he gets stuck into a mirror and he goes into space.
Starting point is 00:50:45 That's, dude, it's pretty much Superman too. To be completely honest with you. It's these things. it's like they're not really I think they're wearing like hoods or something I don't know no they look like the Supreme Court yeah they kind of do what's the difference hoods or robes am I right everybody the American Supreme Court they both worship triangles so they wind up they make a deal it's like okay if we could stop this puppy court thing I can go back I can get the corner office and I win the whole day right and I'll be out of
Starting point is 00:51:20 your hair man and he's like that's great let's do it together so like they then they have to pretend to be friends so they do and that's like a very long montage it's a very long being friends montage and the boss baby's like you know uh if this doesn't happen like i will he says he will get fired uh-huh and then he's just going to be stuck with the family and then it's this weird this is kind of my favorite piece of animation in the movie uh he's like i will be there as we grow old we'll grow old together. I will be there. And it cuts to like Tim and the boss baby.
Starting point is 00:51:52 They have not grown physically, but they have aged. And it's amazing because old boss baby looks exactly like Brian Doyle Murray. He does. I did the exact thing. Yes. Yes, he does.
Starting point is 00:52:03 He totally does. Oh, man. I was ready for the boss baby to talk about the jelly of the month club. It's so just looks like Brian and Doyle Murray. You will never look at Brian Doyle Murray the same way again because he just looks like an old baby. Well, the whole run-up is like the ghost of Tom Jode.
Starting point is 00:52:21 He's like, I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. So yeah, it's a real like we're doing it together, being brothers fucking montage that takes approximately seven minutes. So they wind up going to a career day at their parents' job for Take Your Kid to Work Day. That was the whole point of it. They go there.
Starting point is 00:52:40 It's at the puppy course. They're trying to figure out what's going on. At this point, which is terrifying, the boss baby pretends to be a dog. baby oh my also known his puppies by the way
Starting point is 00:52:51 dog babies aka puppies it was it was a much better play on words to call the dog now you I mean you were
Starting point is 00:53:01 right because it's a baby in the flesh of a dog which turns out to be it's like a stuffed animal they skin I guess
Starting point is 00:53:08 it's fucking me man it is oh my God you're right it's also like leather face come out boss
Starting point is 00:53:17 baby you are always mess with the sledge. Come on, boss baby. Kill that girl. That would be the great end. You got Grandpa who comes out.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Oh, no. Grandpa's not enough. You got to get the boss baby out here. Get the boy, baby. Yeah, actually, Leatherface is just the boss baby, by the way. Oh, nice. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:53:45 You know what I was thinking about while watching this movie? For some reason, face is reminding me of this. That Herzog movie, where there's that dude, it's a doc land of silence and darkness maybe, where... Lessons
Starting point is 00:53:58 of silence and darkness or something? Lessons of darkness or... There's two similar movies. There's ones about the Kuwaiti oil fields that's lessons of darkness. You're talking about, I think it's land of silence and darkness. The deaf and blind people movie? Yes, so there's a dude
Starting point is 00:54:14 in that film. Right. And this is a real, this is a real guy, so I'm not going to make fun of him too much. Don't worry, he's probably long dead. He's blind and deaf and he like lived, he's like, I think in the time of the filming he was like in his 20s or something and he just lived his life as a complete baby because he
Starting point is 00:54:31 had no concept of the world. Yes. And his parents didn't really teach him anything. Okay. It's terrified. It's terrifying. To prevent the tweets, it's land of silence and darkness from 1971. But the thing is, is like, and this is why I also
Starting point is 00:54:48 can't buy the whole he's a manifestation of Timmy is because he corrects him constantly yes and he affects the plot all the time independently of Tim boss baby knows who McCartney and Lenin are yes Timmy doesn't
Starting point is 00:55:03 yeah that's yeah because when he's like oh oh you like that song who wrote it and he's like I don't know my parents and he's like oh your parents were Lenin and McCartney because he's been drinking that special serum we do not know the actual age of the boss baby because he could have been from like the magna carta days and
Starting point is 00:55:24 ah the magna carter days right right babe yeah classic dennis miller joke dude oh my god so we don't know how old he is and then you know the again the idea that that woman had a pregnancy belly is disturbing because we don't know where that child went pay me my price all right that's where I think the storecated. Also, by the way, did you guys notice? I mean, you noticed it. I'm going to say it and you'd be like, yeah, obviously. But it freaked me the fuck out.
Starting point is 00:55:55 This baby, the boss baby, he doesn't have a name. The parents are like, the baby, the baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's your brother, the baby. Well, he gets one in the end. He does. But fucking name your child, please. I mean, the boss baby, the movie takes place at least over like a couple of months.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Yeah, totally. Maybe. But they're leaving. Doesn't the state step? been at some point. They're like, you've got to fucking name this kid or you're going to jail? I don't think so. I think it's some if the Democrats get their way for sure.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Oh man, yeah. Something, something the war on Christmas. But no, I don't think it's jail time, but I think it's a thing where like you have to like file a name on a birth certificate at some point. The right name. Oh, yeah. Give them the wrong name. They'll take it away.
Starting point is 00:56:41 No, it's true. It was a neo-Nazi that named it something irrefranchisable. Oh. I read about this a few years ago. I know. You hear about this baby named Adolf Hitler Campbell? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Wait, they took that kid away from those people? I think so. Good. Yes. I thought you were saying like, our baby's name is Fred. And they're like, nope, sorry. They let those people that name their baby McCain-Paylin.
Starting point is 00:57:09 They let that happen. God. That was fine. It's kind of like almost Adolf Hitler. Your funeral, they say, enjoy your baby. name. Man fucking McCain Palin, that son of a bitch, what a fucking 2008
Starting point is 00:57:23 name that kid has. Yeah, I think he was born then. He would almost have him. I would hope so. So they wind up going, they find out it's Steve Buscemi who's behind the whole thing. And this is where it gets really gross. And even the movie has to comment on how
Starting point is 00:57:39 gross it's getting because Steve Buscemi comes like, it was me the whole time. Steve Buscemi, by the way, originally supposed to be Kevin Spacey that They're glad that he stepped away. Oh, wow, really? I'm surprised he wouldn't have been the boss baby. Yeah, no, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:53 He must have had a prior commitment. Because he had so much acting work three months ago. Busy schedule. So, but Kevin's, or now, no, not Kevin's, busy. Christopher Plummer. I'm the boss baby. No, Steve Bushemi is the adult. version of super colossal
Starting point is 00:58:18 big fat boss baby. Yes. Right. Because he somehow kept all of his memories from baby core. Which is unsettling again. That's the funny. Uncettling word of the episode. It's fucking bone chilling, man. And then he lived his entire mortal
Starting point is 00:58:34 life because this is someone who was immortal, who was struck down to live a mortal life and die and be ash and never matter, which will happen to all of us. Sure. Because, you know, the world keeps turning or universe or whatever dark matter. Pay me my price.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Man, I'm so glad I asked the first time because I just would have been lost. So he grows up his entire life with the mission of spite. He must have done this in the late 40s. Yeah, I guess. For his age. He's like he's in his 60-70s, right? So he lived in immortal's life up until 19. 148.
Starting point is 00:59:17 Yeah, that's weird. This guy was around like in the 16th century. Fucking boomers, man. Ruin fucking everything. So he's behind the permap puppy and what he wants. Well, so we didn't explain that.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Oh, sorry. Go ahead. It's a forever puppy. Basically, it's a puppy that will always remain a puppy. And nobody knows how the specifics will work. The way that works actually, oops, it was a trap for the boss baby
Starting point is 00:59:41 because he wants to steal the boss baby's formula and reverse engineer it. Oh, my God, just take it for yourself, engineer yourself some serum to be like an immortal on earth. A 30-year-old. Exactly. Just drink enough that you're just like a young, sexy man, not a farting baby.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Yeah. And, like, live this insane, amazing life, you know, and don't, like, it's just ridiculous. Don't engineer a being, this puppy, which is false. and then make so many of them and his plan is to drop them across the entire planet that part I was kind of falling asleep on but where's the business model
Starting point is 01:00:26 in that you sell this motherfucker right yeah he's going to launch a rocket with all these dogs inside it and they're going to like drop like Santa Claus Christmas presents that's what it seems like because they drink the serum and I think you could survive a fall out of an airplane yeah I mean that would make sense
Starting point is 01:00:42 which you're also superhuman Oh, of course. You're not just a baby? Why wouldn't you just engineer an immortality serum for everybody? Yeah. Or just a gallon for the ultra-rich.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Why would you fucking... What is this plot? This plot is to end babies, which is... Which is to end the world in its own weird... Eventually. This is how Children of Men's got started.
Starting point is 01:01:07 This is exactly how it started. Oh, this is the prequel of Children of Men. Yeah, and I think I read this. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Hi, I'm Baby Diego. Oh, yeah. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Look, right, we don't have babies anymore because of the Bush Baby. It's so sad. The Bush baby brought down society. Now, here's a really impressive single-take shootout. Oh, fuck, Julianne. Oh, no. Oh, look, Michael Kane farted in this movie. That immigrant cramp is full of Germans and fucking forever puppies.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Sounds about right. I love children of men. Great movies. It is a hard rewatch, though. It's hard to be like, ooh, you know, it's Saturday night. I think I'm going to watch Children of Men. I watched it closer to whenever it was... What was the most...
Starting point is 01:01:59 Oh, when gravity was coming out. That was like all we watched. It holds up. It's a great movie. And, you know, we get closer to that fucking society every ding-dong day. I'm just waiting for it. I'm going to be Michael Kane alone in a pretty cool house in the woods. smoking weed, farting, waiting for my friends to show.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Oh, that's what they all think, yeah. And then I'm going to be murdered by a bunch of fucking militants that storm my compound because I helped out some strangers. So, yeah, that's the plan. And they have to go to Las Vegas to launch it. And we have X amount of time. Right. Steve Bouchemian, he's got a number two who's like this big goony guy.
Starting point is 01:02:36 It's his brother. His brother, yeah. A young Frankenstein type. Eugene or something maybe. Yes, Eugene. And then they get into this bizarre. cross-dressing joke stuff which is just like a fucking thud.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Yeah, and it's just like, you know what, dude, just don't bother with the Mrs. Doubtfire or shit. Yeah, exactly. So Super Coloss Baby, Steve Busemi, as an adult man, is going to go to this Las Vegas Expo to premiere the Super Puppy or Forever Puppy, God damn it.
Starting point is 01:03:04 With the parents and Boss Baby and Timothy have to stay there under guard of Mrs. Doubtfire. Oh, that's right. He's the babies. I was trying to figure out why this dude was dressing up like a woman. Yeah. And it's because Steve, this is fucked up. To convince the parents that it's okay
Starting point is 01:03:20 to leave your children. That's what's so dumb is Steve Buscemi, who's like the parent's boss is like, yeah, okay, you guys both have to come to Vegas to do this conference with me. Here's this babysitter I set up for you. As these parents, by the way, one of these children is
Starting point is 01:03:36 already like seven to ten years old. Like seven, he said, they seven exactly. No, that's okay. They know a babysitter. Or they could go to grandma's house or whatever the fuck. Also, like, I don't know, this kid's like four months old. Mom's staying at home.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Dad can go. They're trying to like negotiate that at the beginning of the movie. And then I forget why it is that Steve Bouchemey demands they both come. Steve Bouchemey is telling boss baby and the kid that any wrong move, if you try to follow us to Las Vegas or prevent the forever puppy, we will kill your parents. Yes. There's imminent death as a threat in this. This is the stakes.
Starting point is 01:04:13 of Boss Baby is death. Yeah, dude. Sky high. Oh, my God, Death Baby. Oh. Now I'm Death Baby. Still suck it. Continue to suck it. So. Oh, actually, real quick, back to Boss Baby
Starting point is 01:04:30 dressed up in a dog skin suit for a second. Please. Boss Baby gets his asshole sniffed out. Oh, right. That's fun. There's like a fucking daisy chain of dog asshole sniffing. And Boss Baby's the head of it. And Boss Baby's the head of it.
Starting point is 01:04:42 And Boss Baby licks. somebody's face like a dog. Yeah. He's shirt goes, dude. I bet that worked for someone. I feel like a lot of this is working for someone. Yeah. And we don't mean the realm of children's entertainment.
Starting point is 01:04:56 No, we do not. And I'm leaving it at that. And so they have to break out. This is the second of two very long action sequences involving all the other babies. There's a big highway chase. It looks a lot like Toy Story. And they kind of have a lot of fun. And there's a lot of.
Starting point is 01:05:13 baby stuff. I don't know, man. They have a classic, like, end of second act fight here, where Tim says to the boss baby, like, he wishes the boss baby was never born. Like, they're fighting, I think it's like they're fighting at the airport or something. After all this, they get to the airport, they just missed the plane and they fly to Las Vegas. Oh, shit, we just missed the plane. Some of these children are just running through an airport. Yeah. And they miss the plane. You know, Timothy, you know, might be in, correct here, because now the boss baby's his formula because Steve Bussam he took it. So he's starting to, like, turn into a regular baby.
Starting point is 01:05:49 So he's slowing down the pursuit. He's like Jekyll and hiding. It's kind of weird. And the voice is different. And then it's like a little kid baby. Yeah, he's like gets all wide-eyed and looking around. And go-go-go-gag-suck-it turns around to save boss baby from being trampled by a stampede of, you know, people in an airport.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Because no one would stop and see a baby. You know what? Put a baby down. If I got to go somewhere, good luck. You're late to a flight at JFK. Fucking drop a baby in Grand Central. We'll see what happens. Yeah, they're going to fucking paint the floor. Ralph Bucks, she's like, give me that baby.
Starting point is 01:06:30 It's like the... Go my rat minions. It'll be like the steps of Odessa in Battleship Potemkin, babe. Wow, Dennis Miller's cinephile joke. Love it. Oh, dear. A little Sergei Eisenstein for you So yeah
Starting point is 01:06:49 So yes they do have a classic And again this is just eating up the clock Eating up the clock It's like oh well let's break up and stop being friends then And they do for like three minutes Yeah we're sort of bouncing around here Because we've already talked about things that go down in Vegas But one thing we need to address
Starting point is 01:07:07 Because it's it's so So dumb is they're like well how are we going to get on an airplane and the move is to fuck with a gaggle of Elvis impersonators
Starting point is 01:07:21 just dust that shit right off dude what the fuck 3,000 miles to Graceland so they go into the bathroom to steal this Elvis impersonators like uniform like the the jumpsuit or whatever of 70s Elvis
Starting point is 01:07:37 and I thought like okay they're going to get the ticket but that was never part of the plan. They were just going to dress as you know the boss baby's on the head and Tim is on the bottom and they try to board this
Starting point is 01:07:51 plane but then they don't have the ticket. They're just sneaking in. So is this nude Elvis impersonator sitting on the toilet with just a ticket? Well you never want to drop your ticket on airport. Honestly if you're going to the bathroom naked you will bring the ticket with me.
Starting point is 01:08:07 I always put it under one of my folds. safest place really rule of thumb it's a good one i gotta use my thumb to get it out i understand i was i was gonna say rule of flub uh well no the move that they play is like we don't have a ticket because this fat weirdos stole it from us oh right it's alec baldwin as the boss baby doing an elvis impersonation talk about inception yeah who could ever fuck elvis fuck elvis impersonations it's literally been 50 years no one alive cares anymore. No one's like, you know what's fun
Starting point is 01:08:44 and Elvis impersonation? Dude, you know what? Tons of people still care. I know, I know they do. But like children, the children? Oh, children don't give a fuck. No, exactly. I'm saying, like, they were, they were making Elvis jokes
Starting point is 01:08:55 when we were, when we were kids. Like, and that was, and even that was pushing it. I don't even know what that is. Elvis is a fun caricature to play with, I guess. Like, is there a contemporary example they could have updated that too? Extreme Elvis. he's just pissing on people I mean what you know
Starting point is 01:09:12 what you're not going to do Harry Styles No I don't because there's no like The culture of impersonation Such that it is I mean there's like Liza impersonators Her mother Judy Garland impersonators Sure Elvis is like I think the biggest one I mean guys in Elmo costumes
Starting point is 01:09:33 We need to start kidding That's what did you meet Kevin guys in Elmo costumes Yes the racist time square elma that they arrested oh adam sandler he's got he's got to be out by now no relation look let's let's get dave matthews impersonators going sure let's get um crash into you you'll get some amy to me it's into me crash into me that's disturbing people dressing in the inimitable style of amy man like you just see oh man that's an amy man impersonator look at that oh what a big personality Amy man I would like
Starting point is 01:10:08 I would like this actually yeah like like folky indie 90s I think a group of Amy man impersonators would be pretty chill I would be into it I much I would be like oh that's interesting at least it's not Elvis oh a bunch of Colin Oberst yeah exactly
Starting point is 01:10:24 look at all these 10 leos I think it's Connor what did you say Colin oh no but to your point saying Colin maybe a bunch of Colin Maloy's walking around yeah sure Exactly. Let's get some, let's fucking update these references, ladies and gentlemen. Well, no, that's for the, like, grandfathers who took, like, the kid to the boss.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Kirk Cobain impersonators never took off. That's a, that's an easy one. You got the blonde wig, the green sweater, and you go like, eh, and like, everyone's like, yay, hey, or, you know, like, get your hair in a big beehive, put on a bunch of eye makeup. You're a fucking Amy Winehouse impersonator. There you go. What about, let's get some Fred Schneider's going. That is the easiest one of them all. Is it?
Starting point is 01:11:08 Did French Snyder have a look? You just have to talk. You just have to go around talking like this. See, that's actually what you need for an impersonation. You know, like Elvis has. Yes. I mean, he might be working as a French Snyder and a French. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:11:24 But like, yes, I'm doing your birthday party. I'm not actually French Snyder, even though my ID says so. It's a happy birthday. It's a Frank Schneider. Elvis had a. voice like that, you know, like a distinct thing. That's why. You need a distinct thing. And I think that's why French Schneider makes the most sense. Can I just say in modern pop culture, we are losing that distinctive voice. Yeah. Because everything is becoming so fucking the same. Yeah. You know,
Starting point is 01:11:54 you know, like it's just like all these white guys named Chris, no offense to Chris. Jesus Christ. No, but like Chris Pratt, Chris Pine. I like these guys, but they're just like. Nothing you can What can I impersonate there? Exactly. It's all amalgamation of itself. You're looking at all those dudes and you're like, they're all handsome. I love watching the movies and sadly, they all also look like boss babies. So we go to Vegas and we're in Vegas and it's the big thing. The puppy is revealed and it turns out there's a like, the boss baby needs to learn how to use its imagination.
Starting point is 01:12:27 We get all this fucking like pirate play. Yeah. Again, that's working for somebody. Oh my god They're swash fucking You know what The only way That they could be
Starting point is 01:12:41 Fucking nine pirates Movies, Nine Pirates of the Caribbean movies Is it somebody's fetish? That's the only way it makes That he says Of course it is Is somebody just showing up
Starting point is 01:12:49 You kidding me, man Everyone fucks in a costume I love I love coming in loose pants That's what I love Well you won't rub up on you With a really loose belt Just like your fucking
Starting point is 01:13:00 Soiled pirate rags Yeah Yarr, my cum is running down my ankle. Jesse Ventura? Pirate cosplayer? Yep, yep. There's also, by the way, a fucking stupid gag of how are we going to get from the airport to the convention center? Oh, right.
Starting point is 01:13:20 And it's a limousine for a bachelorette party, and it's fucked up. Driven by Logan. Oh, man, boss baby gets his head cut off. That'd be cool. And then you can switch on your DVD and it turns into black and black. white boss baby getting his head cut off. I'm taking this limousine. Well, it's fucked up because Tim's like,
Starting point is 01:13:39 why don't we do something else? And the boss baby's like, no, no, no, right over here. And it's like all these babes. And you see a sash so you know what's going on. And they just, they get a ride from these babes. And the kid leaves with a drink and he throws it out. I was like, yuck. Long Island doesn't know how to make a good ice team.
Starting point is 01:13:59 Fucking, I was slamming my face on the floor. I will tell you, I, fucking lost time on Long Island That is a joke For the adult Yeah, it's like, oh I've been there, boss baby You got that right boss baby It's not even boss baby
Starting point is 01:14:16 It's Tim You're saying Yeah, yeah you're right Tim No I'm saying everybody's boss baby In this movie You're right Everyone kind of is a boss baby That's the thing man
Starting point is 01:14:25 I think that's the lesson to learn From the movie is not for nothing But inside all of us As a little bit of boss baby And we should know them So get to know your inner boss baby, man There turns There's a big fight thing
Starting point is 01:14:40 And it's another one of these like bogus action scenes Again like just don't have it So they wind up on the top of a platform There's a big All the dogs are in a rocket And he's going to incinerate Tim's parents Yes the parents are locked in a box Under the fucking rocket exhaust
Starting point is 01:14:57 It's like a Bond film And he's like And you know he's laughing when He's going to kick them off this large platform, but wouldn't you know what? There's a big thing of formula underneath it. Right. I thought it was going to be like the end of one of them Blade movies and Boss Baby was going to get knocked into it. And then like Fat Boy Slim would start playing and he would come out and start saying, you do not know who you're fucking with.
Starting point is 01:15:22 Hey, hey baby Ron Perlman, you don't know where you're fucking with. I would love that. To be completely honest, that would make this a three-star film. Boss Blady. There you go. Oh, yeah. I'm a day walker. I walk around during the day and I don't need a nap.
Starting point is 01:15:41 So, no, but they use some swashbuckling techniques that they've learned in their imagination play. Yes, it's very important. And knock Steve Bouchemi into this thing. And listen, I am, I'm a horror hound through and through. Sure. In 2017, this was the most frightening. fucking thing I have seen is Steve Bouchemy
Starting point is 01:16:04 going into a vat of milk as an adult and coming out as a blubbering baby thing. And even the kid has to comment on it's like that ain't right it's a joke like oh for adults in the room who might be totally disturbed. It's like
Starting point is 01:16:20 don't worry grown adults this is fucked up but we did it anyway. Well of course he did dude. It's the boss baby. You know I've made a lot of fucked up stuff in my life. I've watched a lot of fuck chef's stuff in my life. I just threw up. You made David Lynch throw up.
Starting point is 01:16:37 I literally fucking made a movie called Six Men Getting Sick. You ever see it? It's just a bunch of dudes throwing the fuck up. I threw the fuck up ten times. Oh, good. Have you seen Lost Highway? I'd rather live with Robert Blake's character
Starting point is 01:16:57 in that movie than fucking see a baby Fall on a tab of formula. I think that's boss maybe grown up. It's Robert Blake. Yeah. They look alike. They do. I'm at your house right now.
Starting point is 01:17:12 I've got this video camera. That is terrifying. That is a great movie. It's great. Ross Highway, even better now than upon release. Guaranteed. So yeah, he comes out. The kid's like, that ain't right.
Starting point is 01:17:25 And then this guy, Eugene, who's not said a word, the entire movie, he's like, I'll raise him as I own. my own and maybe he'll be raised right this time and I'm like that's no it's a weird like there's some sort of backstory where like Steve bouchemy's character when he was fired or retired from being the super mecca boss baby or whatever the flying fuck went to live with his family where Eugene was like the older brother or whatever and he grew into this monster so he's like this time he'll be raised right yeah and they okay sequel set up they saved the parents dead is better.
Starting point is 01:17:59 I absolutely agree with you, Fred Gwynn and Eric Cisca. Just kill this thing. Actually, it would have been great if he's falling and it's like, oh, no, he's going to fall into that bad of forever formula. And then he just misses by like six inches and hits the crap. I was just going to say, just hold him under in the milk until he disappears. He lived since the Magna Carta until in 1948 when he was born and lived a mortal life. He lived a full.
Starting point is 01:18:27 he lived more life than anyone else will ever have kill this baby he misses it and the ground is cracked and a little like sash comes out a little blood's running out of his cheek you're like is the Joker alive
Starting point is 01:18:44 I would love this that still haunts me to this day oh it's a good one two cabins joke though that he made isn't a thing because theoretically yeah like if you left him in this formula longer than that
Starting point is 01:18:56 disappear he didn't disappear. Would, like, go down, down, down, down, fetus, feedus, feeders, feedys, feedys, Zygote, Zygote, Zygote, and then the egg and the sperm separate? What if a dinosaur came out? Oh, shit. No, I know that's what I have that way. Better ending. It's a big D-Rex steps out. It's not Super Mario Brothers, the movie. No, it's true. It would be an ape. But, so you think, oh, that's the end of the movie. No, there's like 20 minutes left.
Starting point is 01:19:22 I was shocked. Because you know what? As if my fucking high bones. aren't chilled enough watching this movie now there's a thing where the boss baby explains well his job here is over and he's going to get a promotion back at baby core and Tim's like well what the fuck are we going to do you can't just leave boss baby and boss baby's
Starting point is 01:19:41 got a very clean explanation he's like don't worry about it because your parents are going to be fucking men in black this little like baby team comes in and they're erasing memories and taking pictures off the wall which is like you went through a pregnancy and now you're going to pretend it never happened well yeah they're going to
Starting point is 01:19:57 erase the whole thing. But may I bring you back to the right before that when he's saying goodbye, they take this long as time for him to be like I'm getting you in the taxi. It's like an ending. It is an ending. It's a total ending of a movie. They take a whole point to it. And then I paused it in 16
Starting point is 01:20:15 minutes. I couldn't explain it. Yikes. That's a lot of time. And then so yes, now they go back to the house and there's like a bunch of little like minion size. They look like minions, dude. They're in like little hazmat suits. And they're like cleaning that. I think this is why no one's ever cracked the Kennedy assassination because
Starting point is 01:20:31 the correct facts have been fudged with by superior boss babies and people's memories were erased. It was Oswald and a boss baby. Like, oh, you know that Kennedy, everybody loves him so much. People aren't going to love babies. They're only going to love
Starting point is 01:20:47 Kennedy. We've got to blow his fucking brains out. Maybe Babycourt brought back the little Lindberg baby. Called them back home. Yeah, I think that's correct. Us here at Baby Cor are really dismayed about the idea of a Catholic president. Better get rid of that.
Starting point is 01:21:08 We'll just, I don't know, blame it on the mafia or something. Oh, and they'll get that retired boss baby Jack Ruby to take care of it. That is, Jack Ruby is definitely a boss, like a boss baby that was born then on earth and lived his life. Exactly, yeah, that makes perfect sense. It all adds up. fucking shit. For Baby Corp. Oh, beautiful. So the boss baby and Tim obviously learned that they love
Starting point is 01:21:37 each other. Obviously. They're like, oh, we can't live without each other. You know, boss baby gets what he wants. He gets to the corner office. This movie's like, I don't know, like, it does. It's not saying anything about corporate culture at all. Like, it almost does. It does say that the moment you're born, you are indoctrinated into the capitalism. Yeah. You have to.
Starting point is 01:21:57 You have to work even as a baby And everything has a numerical value The lessons of this film are horrible And I don't say capitalism without cocaine Leave me out of it We see baby court We see the offices We see all that shit
Starting point is 01:22:13 It's not like do they have houses Are there beds? Is there like a social club? I think you're sleeping in like Some sort of biosack They seem like they're like Living high lives there They're living high lives, but they never leave the office. It's a fucking sack you crawl into, which is now Amazon warehouse employees have to do.
Starting point is 01:22:35 I think so. It's like the Matrix tubes. Here's what I think would be a genius turn for this television show. We never go to Earth. Oh, it's only about the bus baby. But then it's after hours. What are we doing? What are our lives as boss babies when we're not on the clock?
Starting point is 01:22:53 It's like madman. Yeah, it's madman, dude. There's a boss baby. bar there's a boss baby that gets so drunk he pisses himself there's a boss baby that speaking of murray siblings there's a british boss baby that rides a lawnmower that runs over someone's foot there's another british boss baby that kills himself but he was a metz fan i will say one thing by the way eric you stumbled on something very interesting oh jeff bezos he's a grown-up boss baby jeff bezos is a grown-at his head he's a look at his head
Starting point is 01:23:23 That's why the world is, because this guy's been doing corporate shit for thousands of years. That's right. Jesse, Jesse, it's not Jesse Eisenberg. Mark Zuckerberg also looks like a baby, boss baby. And I think Peter Thiel is just some dude trying to steal the formula. Yeah. I'm telling you, that's what he was kicked out.
Starting point is 01:23:44 He was kicked out, clearly. Oh, my God, all of this sounds totally plausible. I think all those Silicon Valley weirdos are a bunch of fucking. deranged babies from the stars. Dude, I think, you know, like, Tobo's character on Silicon Valley, that's a boss baby. Of course.
Starting point is 01:24:01 That's a grown boss baby. And I'll say it, Thomas Middletch, boss baby. He's a total boss baby. So, Tim writes boss baby a letter and it's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Tim writes boss baby a memo.
Starting point is 01:24:16 Because earlier in the film, the boss baby has to explain to Tim the importance of memo culture. And the funny thing is, And all of these, the only reason it worked is the test audience, one person in the test audience was cracking up and like, well, that works for one person. It works out. Sadly, Scott Adams went to this test screening. So he was the only one. He was just fucking Dilbert shit. He was like, so here's the thing. I love boss baby. I hate Muslims, gay people, probably blacks. Women for sure. But you know what? This boss baby, that memo joke is one of the funniest fucking things I've seen in 10 years. Scott Adams What a fucking prick That guy is a great A piece of shit
Starting point is 01:24:58 That's like a shit baby He stinks If there was like a world of pieces of shit That they live And like It's like shit comes out of Someone's asshole And it turns of the sky
Starting point is 01:25:08 It's like Earth too It's like maybe like the sewer There's a sewer culture Oh I like that Like underneath the earth There's a sewer And all the shit Like are sentient
Starting point is 01:25:18 And live together It's just like Ah real monsters Or those Mucinex commercials? But what I'm getting at is if you can animate something so stupid and doesn't make any sense like Boss Baby, you might as well have fucking shit baby. Sure.
Starting point is 01:25:33 Sweet's fucking spin-off, dude, shit baby. So he winds and he gets his memo and it's like, oh, I love you so much. And, you know, and then the lesson is, it's like Tim is like, you know, maybe there's not enough love for all of us, but I'll give you all a mile up. Right.
Starting point is 01:25:49 And the boss baby's heart grew four size as much like. the Grinch. Someone speaking on Grinch, by the way, this is still before Christmas as we were recording this.
Starting point is 01:25:56 I want to point on something very interesting I saw. Sure. Someone was talking about the fact that the Grinch,
Starting point is 01:26:02 for all his problems, did not hate Christmas. The Grinch just hated people. Yeah. And that's something to think about. Yes. He's misunderstood. It's like Tanya Harding.
Starting point is 01:26:14 We're learning a lot this holiday season. I fucking hate people. Yeah. I love Christmas. I hate people. I think I have. identify with the Grinch and Tanya Harding on this.
Starting point is 01:26:24 Totally. Both of them are heroes of their own story. I kind of agree. The Grinch hates people, loves dogs, loves Christmas. All right. What's there to not like? He's probably got good taste in movies. He's getting drunk all day, I imagine. Oh, all day. What else he'd do it on that mountain top?
Starting point is 01:26:39 That's why he's green. What with the sepsis? Yes. It's some type of disease. He's not human. He turned, yeah. Yeah. So, um, the boss baby decides to be retired. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:55 And they shoot him in the head. That's kind of a career suicide. It is, no, that's the lesson of the movie. When you have a choice between immortality and like kind of middle class living, middle class living every time. Why would you give up immortality to live a mortal life and then be a fucking, like fucking skeleton in a coffin? Because that's all it's going to.
Starting point is 01:27:17 And it's going there fucking faster than you think. Eric, honestly, though, so your choice is to be a baby that lives only for corporate culture. You're always at work. You're always fucking going to meetings. You're always doing this shit. You've convinced me to kill myself. Exactly. And here's the good thing, Eric, you get to grow up, fuck, and then it's over.
Starting point is 01:27:40 You know what I mean? Like, then you're blissfully in a box. It's good to know that I'm in my third act. Yeah, you know, like the boss baby doesn't use it with. and substances. The boss baby can't have a nice cocktail. We don't know that. No, we do. Because if he could, he'd be doing it in the movie because a boss baby
Starting point is 01:27:57 should have a fucking goddamn cigar in his mouth the whole time. What a fucking missed opportunity. That's true. So the last turn of the film. Oh my God. We go back. Now it's Tim Just end. It's Toby McWire telling his daughter. He's been narrating to his daughter.
Starting point is 01:28:13 It's like, how I met your mother. And he's like, yeah, you know, that's why. How I met your brother. That's why your sister isn't going to really ruin everything because I was worried about my little brother that's why I'm telling you this story and you don't see his face which is terrifying and then you... That's like a nanny
Starting point is 01:28:29 and Muppet babies kind of thing. Yeah and then you turn over and then the other the boss baby. He's grown up and now he sounds like Alec Baldwin was just chilling. And he's wearing a suit. He's doing it. He's doing business life. And the little baby, the little
Starting point is 01:28:45 kid that Tim just had happens to be a boss. boss baby oh yeah she gets paid like way less than every other boss she definitely does she's smarter she works harder but she doesn't get paid as much right and it's a weird like the baby sits up and you know it's a boss baby because it's like a little girl baby but it's dressed in a black suit yeah and it like winks or something and then like it's fucked up like I don't what is the What is the name that's given to Alec Baldwin? Like the boss baby?
Starting point is 01:29:21 He's Ted. Yeah, he's Teddie Theodore. Yeah, Tim and Ted, that's annoying. Well, because there's a... Ted Lindsay. Ted Lindsay and the other one is Tim Leslie. And those, by the way, in case you're wondering, are hilarious because they're girls' names. Except Leslie Nielsen.
Starting point is 01:29:41 Yeah, Leslie was a man's name. So is Ashley. So is Lindsay. Right. I know a dude my age named Ashley. Ashley J. Williams. Who? No, that's Ash from Evil Dead.
Starting point is 01:29:53 Oh, wow. Also, I think there's an Ashley and Gone with the Wind. That sounds right. It's all fine. Like, could we just cut the gender shit already with this nonsense? But, dude, it plays. Oh, it does. There's a joke to be had.
Starting point is 01:30:07 Scott Adams was laughing his fat tits off. That's the one. That's the one. Get those filthy women, dogbert. Oh, man. shit babies at it again yeah and then it's that's like your sequel set up is like
Starting point is 01:30:25 girl boss baby too or whatever but I feel like we're just going back to we're going back to the well you're not seeing girl boss baby no no that she's long dead I think we're just going back oh right it'll continue to be back in time she got a very very small severance and we got her out of there
Starting point is 01:30:41 it's okay uh there is a stinger scene oh is there really but it's nothing I turned it so off I saw this, too. I saw this. It's just the Gandalf clock telling you to leave the theater. Yeah. It's like, what are you doing?
Starting point is 01:30:54 It's over. There's nothing left. Go. The Gandalf clock. He's in a towel with a, he's got out of the shower. Oh, right. There's nothing left. I'm bathing.
Starting point is 01:31:05 I would love an Ian McKellen alarm clock, man. Yeah. Wake up, Stephen. I do, I do have to say my one compliment about this film is the, the aesthetic of the wizard was very nice. That's the only. that's good though all the other animation is regular degular nonsense computer animation which is your shit but there's some weird times in the movie in some of the fantasy sequences when he's like when he's fantasizing about being like a ninja or something goes like 2dish
Starting point is 01:31:31 it goes 2d and it's kind of cool that was the only time in the movie i was interested in anything the the the i saw the the cover at least of the children's book and that's like a really cool it looks a retro design like kind of like almost like you'd something that's something out of a madman And I'm like, oh, that's cool. Like, that would be a great way to animate this movie. We never do that with animated movies or some reason. We can never adapt a style. It always has to be.
Starting point is 01:31:53 They all look the same. But that's what... This is so funny. Because Steve and I were just talking... We're talking about, like, animated movies today. And I was recommending one to him. One movie that does buck that trend is that Peanuts movie. Okay.
Starting point is 01:32:07 That Peanuts movie is good. It's really good. And it also, like, they adjusted the animation style. We went to a screening. and the animators were talking about how everybody so loves the old movies with like the shitty animation and they didn't want to take that away and make it like this eerily super polished like almost like photorealistic kids kind of a thing so they were like dropping frames and making the animation like way more crude and it's so fucking helps that movie stand out the peanuts movie is a standout and contemporary animation at least think about it for four fucking seconds like hey this is going to be this new movie we have to hire animators enemy let's
Starting point is 01:32:44 Anyway, let's get a character designer in here and make something that looks like something. Yeah. No. Nothing, man. Good God, would anybody recommend the boss, baby? Oh, no, I was embarrassed in my own home. I am, uh, oh, absolutely not. Skip it.
Starting point is 01:33:02 Yeah, no thanks. I'm a slight, like, seeing his believing, but we just told you everything. So, like, the shock values muted. I will say I do, uh, this episode goes out to paramed. that are slaves of this movie because this happens, man. You know what I mean? I go to my sister's house
Starting point is 01:33:19 those wretched minion movies are on all 24 by 7 and she's got nothing to do man, she's got three small kids they want to watch them minions and this is free on Netflix and this is on Netflix now so it's just on and on and on
Starting point is 01:33:32 Oh shit I'm a little afraid the next time I come here the next time I go there the boss baby is going to be on one Guaranteed no, it's just it's gonna take your little nephew's just like
Starting point is 01:33:42 Ice Storm man fucking, they're going to be obsessed, obsessed. And then when that TV show comes out, fucking forget it. Oh, yeah. Then you're going to have like fucking five seasons in two years. They're just pounding out this boss baby shit left and right, dude. It's going to be an obsession. It's a nightmare.
Starting point is 01:33:56 I will say to recommend a better animated film from 2017, the breadwinner. It's done by the cartoon saloon people who did Song of the Sea. It's excellent. What else was the Red Turtle? Red Turtle, excellent. I did not see. at the time of this recording I've not seen Coco
Starting point is 01:34:15 Coco's supposed to be excellent Coco's supposed to be good I was just thinking of another one fuck that Ferdinand movie did not see it that looks like a big fat why would you want John Cena do do a voice
Starting point is 01:34:26 like you know what I mean like you get Ian McShane to do a voice oh sure or you get Ian McShane to co-star in Pottersville one of the other you could also do that that's the boss baby directed by Tom McGrath
