Now, let me tell you this.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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,
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
The Templetons.
The Templetons.
Right.
Mr.
Mrs.
Templeton voiced by...
Jimmy Kimmel is the dad and Lisa Kudrow is the mom.
That's correct.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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...
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?
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
dog babies
aka puppies
it was
it was a much better
play on words
to call the dog
now you
I mean you were
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
it's fucking
me man
it is
oh my God
you're right
it's also
like leather face
come out boss
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
I want to point
on something
very interesting I
saw.
Sure.
Someone was talking
about the fact
that the Grinch,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
