On this week's episode, it's a cartoon come to life with the Flintstones. I'm Andrew Jupin. Stephen Sedgerock. Chris Cabrock? Eric Sissrock. And this is the season nine premiere of We Hate Movies. Wouldn't it be Siskstone? Ciske Jones better.

Dino Cisca. Hello, us as a loyal listener. Boy, we missed you. Yeah. Back from the break. You shouldn't have left because there was stuff all over the place. Live episodes out and up the ass, they say. That's true. And there was Patreon offerings as well while we were all volunteering in the Peace Corps. What a good guy's. That's what we call drinking myself to sleep every night these days, huh?

You know what? That's the move, because you're not hurting anyone if you pass out of your own home. That's right, dude. That's a piece score. So, yeah, up top, this is the new season. We're talking about the Flintstones. The episode, or the episode, my God, directed by Brian Levant. This film is from 1994. You guys peeped the filmography on this guy.

An autour. I smell an autore. I got a snow dog's in there. He's got a snow dogs. So Steve said snow dogs all work backwards. Snow dogs. Fucking Viva Rock Vegas, the sequel to this shit. Whoa, let me correct you right there.

The prequel. Oh, yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. Jingle all the way, Beethoven and Problem Child, too. Wait, Beethoven Un, Beethoven Prime? Correct. Where it's started. Welcome to Beethoven Prime.

Charles Groden's like, yeah, it's ground zero for Beethoven. And we're all deaf. Oh, and Eric, you'll be happy to know what this guy's doing these days? No, what? He's about to direct the eighth installment of Police Academy. No, that's not happening. That's happening. Is it a remake or what?

They're slapping a big fat eight on it? They're putting number eight on it. No, they're not. I was watching all these movies. Like, I got up to like two. No, I got up to two. I watched all these movies. I got up to two.

I watched them when I was growing up. And I had, I was watching them because I was like, oh boy, I want to do one of them on the show eventually. And they're just all awful. The jokes are, who boy, they're problematic. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I thought you're going to say you couldn't get past the second one because you got killed in a title wave of home

homophobia. Yes, I did. And it's, I just can't believe they would put an aid on the end of it, not just reboot it. Yeah. Police Academy is a nice title. But here's why, here's why. Because nobody gives a fuck. Nobody gives a fuck if you remake Police Academy

reboot it or just do a sequel because it's fucking Police Academy and who could give a shit. I didn't see that movie Owning Mahoney. Was that a police academy remake? Yes, it was. Yeah, it was about that one police academy member who was a degenerate gambler.

Got you. Light on the jokes. It turns out weird. I know, but yeah, it's in that universe. Also, the writer of this movie is even better off than the director in the royalties department. Oh, really? Stephen E. DeSuza.

Check this shit out. Oh, I know. Stephen's brother? That's Mr. Street Fighter, ain't it? Well, yes. 48 hours, commando, jump and jack flash, the running man die hard die hard two hudson hawk ricochet beverly hills cop three street fighter judge dread knock off and the second two meter movie cradle of life that's what you call all aces yeah that's a single one that dude's fucking rockin it i bet you anything stephen desuzes got a killer pool in his backyard i bet you

anything his yacht is called all aces uh before we get started really quickly uh we've got some new offerings um oh that's right well we're started so we'll stop because I forgot about the offer We've started an Amway here at WHM. I will kill myself dead. If we have to resort to Amway dude, I will kill myself.

What was Amway? Oh, it's a fucking scam that your uncle always did where it was like here's a product. Here's a catalog. And then you can pick a thing in the catalog and pay for it. There was like garbage knives, an alarm clock you'd never use. It's the fortune that Betsy DeVos

her husband is the sign of that. So the offerings I wanted to talk about is we have a new... So what are offerings again? I'm just trying to realize as much as possible. Dude, it's gifts to the Lord.

Okay. A bunch of new stuff in our T. Public store. Oh, fuck, Steve. What's that? That is our store where you can get a bunch of t-shirts and or cool designs by friends and fans of the show that looks really cool and lets everybody else know that you're into We Hate Movies. it does help the show by wearing stuff around

Just go to WHMpodcast dot com and click on that shop tab and I want to go through the new stuff we got because people are the people who did it are awesome and they should also get credit and we give credit we're credits do. Uh-huh, yeah. Uh, so we've got the, the, if you, if you do join onto our Patreon, you like the new slick design and people are like, oh, I'd wear that on a T-shirt or on a coffee

mug. Uh, you can and that's on the T-Public store. Uh, and that's by Philippe Sabrero, uh, who's done a ton of stuff for the show, always does our, uh, commentary art and all sorts of stuff. So, uh, to shout him out. He's got a, he's like, he is a world-renowned colorist for comic books. I don't know if you know that. I wish I could do shit like that, because that means I would be talented. Exactly. He's got... Just one fucking talent.

Please, Lord God. You are useless. He's got a comic that Eric's going to like. It's called Web of Venom V. Nam, which is... Really? It's the symbiont in Vietnam, Eric. Wow. So which side was he on?

We'll find out. You've got to go buy it on shelves right now. You could find out. Wait, we were dropping Agent Venom. Yes. Agent Venom in Vietnam. You've selected Agent Venom. No, I think it was Agent Venom they dropped in that movie, okay?

Shut up, Veteran. You've heard me say, figure it out on the Air Bunch. That's annoying, but you could annoy your friends with a fun t-shirt and or, like, backpack. I don't know what you can get on. There's a few variants, too. We've got different designs of Figure It Out, now up. Yes, by P.L. Boucher, who... He also did our mood...

There's a new Muldoon's pub poster that's on there with all these in-jokes from the beginning time of the show. You can peep that on our T-Public page as well. And you can check out Muldoons as well. That's a fun and a little fan Facebook page that we pop up on from time to time. Just go Facebook Muldoons Pub. You'll find it. But P-L-B-B-O-U-C-H-E-R. If you Google his name, you'll find his B-Hance and Deviant Art page. Ooh. I don't know how deviant it gets. We cannot endorse any of that.

This person's legit. We also have a Hillary for Prison shirt designed by our good buddy Dinesh D'Souza I was trying to think of his name earlier Dinesh D'Souza I think he's related to the writer of the film. Oh, that was the joke. And lastly, but not least Carolyn Noick, who is a really talented

comic book artist, has two cool designs, just like really in her inimitable style of us watching a movie, both regular and in a TV glow variant. That's kind of fun. I'm really excited about it. I spent most of my life in a dark room.

and I found her stuff last year. You can pick up her top shelf collection of short stories. Girltown, which is awesome. It's got Diana's Electric Tongue in there. I really, really love this book. Okay, so that's top shelf. What is the well tonight?

Low shelf. Evan Williams. Evan Williams.com. So just go to WHMpodcast.com. Click on the shop tab. It'll take you right to the store. Here's the reason I dig up. on the T-Public stuff, gang, because it's

by design, it's not by piece of merch. So you select the design and then it takes you into the store and you can figure out if you want to shit on a sweatshirt, a hoodie, t-shirts. Dude, there are fucking baby onesies on there. All you're parents out there, when you're at your fucking wits end, you're up at 3 o'clock

in the morning, this kid won't shut up. At least they're wearing a killer W-HM baby ones. Dress your little critters in our merchandise. And then, you know, kids, they shit and puke all over everything. You're going to throw it away anyway. But, Eric, what's better than having a baby in a figure it out onesie? Because what is a baby trying to figure it out parents?

And that's what you're also screaming at that kid when they won't stop shitting on the floor. Yes. Yep, they shit on the floor. Figure out how to not shit on the floor, baby. Speaking of shit on the floor, the Flintstones. Man, I bet they were shit on the floor. Not a lot of plumbing mentioned in this. I think you shit into like a walrus's mouth.

I think it has to be. I'm hanging your ass out of window into like the walrus. and you just shit, right, a big loaf? Well, because the Walrus, isn't that what the, the faucet, like, when they're doing the dishes? Oh, that's a Willie Mammoth, my friend. So maybe, like, a large bullfrog you shit into? You know what, dude? You know what, Fred, just dig a hole and make it happen, okay?

Also, question, underwear or no underwear in the Flintstone? No, dude. John Goodman is freeballing it on the set of this film. Absolutely. And they have way more pubic here than we do now, because they're cavemen. Yeah. So they're hairier.

Oh, they're not, they're not scaping down there. Right, so they had natural underwear, like their pubs are so thick, it gets interwoven and it becomes sort of a better clothing. It looks like a boulder in the middle of a forest. Listen, Sid, John Goodwin was flashing his shit all throughout town

like he was Sharon Stone, and let me tell you, he was no Sharon Stone. In that case, that would be totally correct. Yeah, look at John Goodman. I love the man. He's a no Sharon Stone. He's a pretty good, John,

Goodman's shape in this movie. But yeah, this was, I think they said they filmed this the summer between season six and seven of Roseanne. No. He was just working, working hard. I think that's why he looks so trim. He's working to the bone. He's clearly doing some cardio. I mean, he's a fat Adonis in this. Well, he knew, he knew what was going on because he's going to, like, you're walking around in a fucking tank top all summer. Like, you know what I mean? At least the arms out. The arms situation. So we got, of course, yes, John Goodman is Fred Flintstone. Wilma is Elizabeth Perkins. David Tellam from ID. No, right?

No. Yeah, no. Elizabeth Perkins is... Who am I thinking of? Your big is Elizabeth Perkins. Big as... Where did Elizabeth Perkins get to the White House, though? Was she on West Wing?

We know. No, that's a... Molly, what's her face? I got no idea what... Mary McCormack. Oh, I'm confusing her with Mary McCormack. There it is. Yep. There it is.

No, Elizabeth Perkins is on that sharp objects people love. Oh, yeah. I haven't gotten around to it yet. You know, it's a little too hot for sharp objects. That's the way I've been thinking. You know, like, give me that... You know, you got murder and, like, you know, family drama. I need a fucking hot cup of coffee for that.

I'm not, that is not a hot summer night. But did they spend all their money on Led Zeppelin tunes? Because holy fucking shit. I don't know. We both said we haven't watched it. What are you talking about? They just pack the movie with Zetl. She's listening to Led Zeppelin literally almost the entire time.

It's a movie now? Yes. What are you talking about? In Sharp Objects. She's just constant. Okay, none of us have said. How much money does that cost? A lot of money.

The fucking money. Well, they're using all their drag on money for all these other projects. You also have Rick Moranis. Was this his last role or one of? No, because he did a voice in one of them there, animated movies that everybody's forgotten about. He went further down the rabbit hole, though. Isn't this before Big Bulley? Oh, right.

Or Little Giants. I think Little Giants might have been after this. Oh, my Christ, Little Giants. Let's see, where are we just? Flintstones and Little Giant. were the same year. Wow, he's been a new year. And then Big Bully was 96.

Oof, God, the direct-to-video, Honey I Shrunk Ourselves, was 97. I think that was, that's when Depression said in. Then there's a lot of animated shit in here. That's what I was thinking of... That's a free check. You don't have to do shit. Brother Bear.

That's as easy as recording a podcast. Well, according to this, though, he reprised his role as Dark Helmet on a 2018 episode of The Gras. Goldbergs. Oh, kill me dead again. I thought you were going to say

the Big Bang Theory. That's even worse because I know the Big Bang Theory would at least pay them more money. I thought you were going Robot Chicken there for a moment. I was really worried. Dude, you'll look up,

I don't even know. Name a prestigious actor. Humphrey Bogart is still doing shit for Robot Chicken at this point. You're like, oh, that Scoot McNary. Like three episodes of Robot Chicken. The fuck?

You played Lieutenant Gile on Robot Chicken? Robot chicken are a lot of treasures. You're a Montre jokes. Vincent Minnelli directed like five of their episodes. Remember that one episode of Robot Chicken where they just use a bunch of Star Wars toys to reenact fucking Key Largo? Yep. Great episode of Robot Chicken. Also, it was a dark helmet.

Voice only, it says. Oh, of course. So there's that. He's Barney Rubble, obviously. And then rounding out the cast is Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble. And I think she's great in this, too. She's a lot of fun. She was doing that Betty laugh.

Like, I thought it was a dub at first. That's actually her doing it. It's very impressive. The laugh is, apparently that's what got her the role. They weren't too keen to give her the role, but she auditioned. She did the laugh like you got the role. I think the voice is a touch annoying. Yeah?

It's supposed to be. I know, but Betty's annoying. But this is not a Ventrear movie. Like, it's supposed to be annoying. It's supposed to be challenging. It's the fucking flitz, though. You are making a live action film. of a fucking cartoon what do you expect to happen a soothing fucking voice well that cartoon didn't

have any soothing voices either not a single one even the dishwasher was haggard and annoying or the dishwasher in this movie my god no that thing is just that's the garbage just oh yeah you're right oh yeah dude that guy gets a lot of play well that's play my my first thing is we never see the guy who clearly has to kill all the appliances oh that's a good after they're thrown away. They should have like a Maytag repairman that comes and murders everything. It's just the dude rings the doorbell and then it's a guy in a fucking black hood

and he comes to kill all his hair. You got another disposable pig for me today? Here we go. That's a good question. We need to delve into this economy. Yes. You know, what is that? You know, like what happens? And I want

to see them going to like a seers to look at thousands of pigs to pick out one to shove under their to be the garbage disposal. Day and night, it's under that sink. That thing has to be shitting, too. Exactly. Of course.

I think you have like a thousand cat boxes in your house. A cat box for the garage disposal, a cat box for the fucking vacuum cleaner, a cat box for the fucking car. Everything has to shit. My car has to take the shit. That's a deleted scene in Herbie fully loaded. But then they also have to shit.

That's the end of it. He's no longer fully loaded. These Flintstones, have to shit as well and we've already said there's no plumbing so something's eating their shit or they got cat boxes for themselves one or the other yeah my good man i'll take 12 cat boxes you think it's like a bed pan like you just pull out like kitty litter from under your bed yes yes so this is 94 95 94 uh this is after both items family movies obviously um both of which are so much fucking better than i mean it's the only time that's ever worked

right? Like the cartoon into... I mean, it was a live action. It was a comic strip, then it was a cartoon, then it was live action first, but I don't know. Maybe, yeah, my timeline might be off, but in any event, it was a comic strip. Sure. Yeah. But what people remember of it is the show. That's the thing that the movie was being adapted out of. That's a good point. Because those are human beings you're trying to ape as opposed to literally cartoons. Yes. Yes, exactly. Now I'm curious about this, though.

this Adam's family business But that's the next one No, I don't know Whoa, wait a second What are you telling me IMDB? Wait, what? They've been trying to remit

They're going to do a remake I don't know when it's happening though Apparently next year Well, because they were trying to do Eva Green and Oscar Isaacs We're supposed to be the leads I think Evergreen wrote it Oh no

It's like, please someone Put me in something I was in Casino Royale You know Oh god Oh so the best bad guy in this movie is Sir Kyle McLaughlin. Of course. The

the, the cursed Kyle McLaughlin. Great on television. Really good in movies, but just like in some of the worst movies anyone's ever made. Really? Like what? Flintstones? Flintstones for one. Showgirls is actually pretty good. It is, but it's bad.

Like, you know what I mean? It's one of those. It's corn, yeah, it's cheesy. A teen trigger effect over here. Do you have seen trigger effect? No, I'm not. That's like the worst of the box. I haven't seen that. The hidden, he's also in, which I think is also kind of good. I've never seen the Dune movie. I want to get to it, but again, that's also

much, at the very least, many of his movies are much maligned. You're right. You're right. You're right. Maligned. And he's great. Maligned. It's malignant. No, I mean, it's benign. Move on. Wait, isn't it, isn't he essential playing the same character

as in, uh, don't tell her it's me? Like the uppity, remember? Remember, we did the episode? Oh yeah, he's also, yeah, he's also an oddity villain. What the hell's, don't tell her, it's It's also known as the boyfriend school, asshole. The Jamie Gertz movie we did, Steve Goodberg and Lobo Marunga. Yes, now I remember that.

Lobo Marunga. So this movie starts. Lobo Oprah. Oh, God. Holy shit. Anyone watched the Oscars in 1993? If anyone didn't turn off for my interminable t-shirt plug, that did it. That was the end of it.

Yeah, season nine, no thank you. So we opened with, uh, a shot-for-shot remake of the theme song, which I feel like the movie should end right after that. You see that and then credits and we're done. This is the fucking mistake, though, Steve, because that's what you want it to be. You want it to open with what we know the cartoon to open with.

And it fucking doesn't. With Winston Cigarettes, Byrne. Oh, hey, Byrne. Let's smoke on the porch. No, it opens with Kyle McLaughlin and Hallie Berry, like hatching the plan. Oh, right. And you're just like, what?

I thought I bought a ticket to see John Goodman fucking freeball it in a cat costume. This fucking leopard print dress he's wearing. But you're not seeing any tapping. And that's what I'm... What do you mean? Sex? Like dance? No, with his dick and balls tapping against the claw.

Yeah, right. The flaps. I don't see any taps. I'm disappointed now. I thought you meant him fucking. It was like, Jesus. Boy, Kevin, it is a fascinating way in which you watch. movies? No, that's what happens when

Flintstone gets out of the bathroom. They play taps. Yeah, so, but we do, yeah, there's Colin McLaughlin, whatever. It's the plan is like, we're going to have some guy, like, take the fall, I'm going to steal his money, and we're going to go to rock apocco.

Everything's called something rock. There's Rock Donald's later in the film. Oh, there certainly is. Shev Rock. I mean, like, this is half the movie. Is Rock or Stone as a joke. Well, I'm rock hard. Those six seasons of a cartoon show, Chris.

Also, okay. That's where it's acceptable, though. Yeah, it's true. I'm sorry. Kyle McLaughlin plays, what is it, Cliff Vandercave? Vandercave, yeah. Okay. That's all I wanted to say.

And Halliberry is actually Sharon Stone, but I'm bummed. Yeah, you get it? They tried to get her to do this, but apparently there was a sketch conflict, which I don't buy. And this is also all presented in the reality that Jesus would have, you believe, where, man and dinosaur co-existent.

Yeah, and talk to each other. Because there's a dog that's a dinosaur. I mean, and Fred drives a dinosaur. His job is driving a dinosaur. He's like a dinosaur Uber driver. I do give this. Your brannosaurus will be here in five minutes. I give this movie a little credit because the prequel like begins with a, that one of those

bronsaurus is like farting right in Stephen Baldwin's face. Yeah. And I'm like, there isn't too much sketch shit in this. I was kind of waiting for it. Listen, here's the thing. The one scene in Jurassic Park aside, executive producer, Steven Spielrock, doesn't go in for the shit jokes. No. You can keep those at the door, mister.

This is a Stephen Spielrock production. Who's that? Oh, his caveman non-union equivalent. What's he got to Cave Ellis Island? They gave him the name Spiel Rock. I was going to say Stephen Spielrock just loves divorce in his movies. He just wants it everywhere. Little kids being precocious?

Also, the narratives that these two films, I'm marrying them now. Stephen Baldwin ages into Rick Moranis. Yes. Yeah. I just want to say that. Mark Addie ages into John Goodman, which I think you're kind of going backwards there. In both cases, you're going backwards. Rick and Moranis still looks 17.

Yes. Like, at age of 70 or whatever, I don't know how old he is at this point. He's up there, yeah. But, yeah, so we get the Flintstones thing. the whole song happens. It's a lot of fun. We go to the drive-in where they're going to see Tar Wars. Directed, did you get this by Gorge Lucas? Come on, guys, that's funny.

Stephen, I saw your little Flintstone's picture you executive produced and a sick fat joke, asshole. Did you like that one? Actually, George, that wasn't me. That was Stephen Spiel Rock. You want to give him a call? You better not have stolen my designs for Sibul-Brock. because I didn't make the prequels yet. Man, and you see, it's like we have product placement

for the film company within the fucking movie because you have the universal thing go around and it's universal shell. Oh my God, it's endless. But you know what, fucking Tar Wars wouldn't be universal. No, 20th century rocks. Exactly. You're right, Steve.

Bothered the fucking shit out of me. And then I noticed at the end of the movie, we might as well just talk about the end of the movie a little bit. Yeah, the day is saved. They're like leaving a theater, I guess, which was playing their own story, sort of like Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Sure. But then on the marquee for that, it says coming soon, Tar Wars.

So, oh, shit. Was there a tonal? Was there a butterfly effect happen? I think, dude, yeah, two words, time tunnel. Time tunnel. Or they were going in the start of the movie to see the movie that we are now watching. Oh, shit. So we were watching a fictional portrayal of the Flintstones.

This is now now. What you see now is happening now. People find rocks. People lose them. There's the weird thing where you see a taradactal like flying people like an airplane. Did you catch what this flight attendant says? No.

She's like, and if you look to your left, you'll see the Grand Canyon, which will be there in 50 million years. Oh, right. What the fuck are you doing? Time tunnel. Dude, time tunnel or like psychic airline? that you go double on that one the fucking uh at the end with the bird at even disney wouldn't do

this to me oh yeah oh man oh man this movie stinks to high heaven oh those fat podcasters are doing it again they're pointing up all these logic flaws in a cartoon movie oh well who cares it doesn't make sense it's not logic flaws it's just stupid jokes that don't like yes they are dumb jokes speaking of dumb jokes we eight movies now continues and this does play out like a Flintstones episode doesn't it like it feels that way it's all like you know it does because it's essentially like a puffed up plot of a honeymooners episode which is what the Flintstones was based off of yes for sure I would have loved a honeymooners episode where it was like all the intrigue at the bus station someone's embezzling money I took an aptitude test

but that's I mean all of this is totally a honeymooners episode so the whole thing is all the Flintstones was too. We're commuting to work. There's a weird, like, they're singing the theme song to the town? The bedrock twitch? That was from the show. It was, uh... But like, it's weird either way. Your hometown has a theme song. Not only that. They have a theme song that has no words. Like, they're singing. There's not like a guy on the radio singing, like, I know, but it's just them singing it. So this fucking radio station is just playing an instrumental track. Well, Either way, it's surf music, which is bizarre. This whole town is deranged because we do see a crazy, wild-eyed old man mowing his lawn with a lobster.

Explain that. It should be an alligator, I think. I mean, you're pulling things out of their natural habitats. That's a little too much. I just don't think a lobster can clamp enough to get my yard sufficiently. Those claws aren't sharp enough. Absolutely not. I need like a bag of piranha.

I don't know, man, one time I got bit by a hermit crab Which are just them little tiny ones Fuck me, that thing hurt I can't even imagine getting bit by a lobster claw That happened you on a toilet seat or what? I was in a surf shop in Myrtle Beach South Carolina and they had

These hermit crabs nestled Betwixt two piles of Confederate flag memorabilia. To just buy you like Poppers, you just eat them? You can just go down the shore, buy some hermit crabs, brother? Oh, totally. They're in these like little crazy you buy him for like $5, they're dead in seven hours? You're just munching them when you walk around the boardwalk?

No, they're supposed to be pets, dude. What did you just climb in there with them? No, I picked it up. It was in the shell. I thought it was empty. Well, the beginning of this movie is about Barney being infertile, all right? Maybe it's Betty's situation. You don't really know what is wrong in the nethers of the rubble house.

Maybe they just aren't sexually compatible. Maybe it's just rubble down there. It's an old war wound We're all good friends here I would never ask you for money to adopt a child That is just wait It's too much It's literally too much

Okay I guess we weren't that close then Well good you wouldn't ask me Steve Because I wouldn't give it to you anyway Hey Chris I'm adopting a child Oh Eric can money please Wait a minute No you're not You're fertile as hell I know it

Oh no I am not Because part is like, oh, thanks a lot, Fred. You know, it means a lot to us. And he's like, don't worry, Bon. But it's one of those things where, like, you've given him whatever, 25,000 shells or whatever the currency is. That's actually the one thing they don't particularly, like, mention is the... What, the amount?

Yeah. Because you don't want to put a dollar bill over Bam Bam's head. No, I just mean, like, do they actually talk about what their currency is and I missed it? God, I think in the cartoon they did. I think it's shells. It might be clams. Is it? Yeah.

Okay. But, like, yes, they don't mention. any of that, but it's the classic like, just don't tell Wilmer about it, eh, Bonn, I gave you half of our fucking entire existence. By the way, Bon, I need someone to

fucking retile my bathroom. Guess what you're doing this weekend? Oh, see, that would be the other part of this, if it was a sitcom plot, now he's just working for him. Yeah, Bon, you're going to work it off. Get the old fucking lobster mower out of the shed and cut my lawn. The whole, like, don't tell Wilma thing, that's another one of these

like old generation type of thing like like the boomers and stuff like oh yeah I wear that I wear the pants in this house my mother-in-law's a bitch we get to it oh absolutely and oh the elk lodge it's now called the water buffaloes because I'm in a cartoon

but these are important facets of society all mother-in-law suck ass and I belong to a fraternal order I was expect I'm now just imagining in my head like you remember those all like VHS as you would get like one or two episodes

of a sitcom or specifically a cartoon. It's the Flintstone starring my mother-in-law's a bit. Oh, no, Wilmer, she's dead. The Flintstones will be right back. Well, audience, you read the title. So Fred's dancing today. But yeah, to your point, Eric,

that's kind of the weird thing that gets dropped here is like it's reflecting the 60s society in the 90s as reflected in the... Yeah, but insofar as the BC era kind of a thing. Ah, the BC era, yeah. Before Christ, he's coming up soon, don't worry. Well, that's just the weird thing. It's because we're just doing...

Yeah, you're right. It's not like an updated version, which would be weird. I mean, like, is Bam Bam listening to Rockvana? It's 1994. Oh, I like that. Well, that, I mean, that's another missed opportunity. could have been a prequel to Passion of the Christ you know, like he

goes, he meets a baby named John the Revelator. Oh, nice. I don't know, Jesus. Something about you just doesn't gel. I don't like it, but mock my words, Jesus. Somebody, you're going to get yours. I don't know how, and I don't

know if it'll be at the hand of Fred Flintstone, but someday you'll get yours, Jesus. Hey, Bon, I lost this bet. Now I got to kiss this guy on the lips in front of all these Romans. Hey, Pontchus, that's the guy. Oh, man. Turns out it was Barney. He was actually the Messiah. They frame it on Jesus. So he gets crucified. You know not what you do. So Fred gets home. Barney's crucified. That's an area by this. Oh, yeah. Everyone gets crucified. At the end of the

episode, the mother-in-law's up there. Everyone's been nailed. The crosses are just two really long snakes. And they're complaining the whole time. Caesar shows up riding a stegosaurus because whatever history. You know what's crazy? There are people that believe that. They do. Yes. You just said. Of course.

Yes. A sizable population of this planet, specifically located in the United States of America believe that a few thousand years ago, just what, like two? Six. six we were coexisting fucking you could fucking have one of your fucking microwaves

that's a dog or whatever the hell animal appliances exist to these people they have a museum down southway that has a museum where they showed like the Stegasaurus was a household appliance and I believe rightfully so proof that sometimes the universe gets it right that museum is having financial trouble

one time I was in Oklahoma and we were driving past this coffee shop that was indeed a creationist coffee shop and in the parking lot they had a fucking stegasaurus like a big model with like the model of like a kid riding it so of course we got out to take a bunch of pictures and everybody noticed exactly what we were doing for the creationist coffee place did they just not believe that beans were ever there was just all ground from the beginning

I don't know how it played into the coffee business itself because it was Sunday and they were closed due to the Lord. Well, that's my, yeah. Yeah, so Wilma finds out, she's like, oh, we need a new garbage disposal. And this is a disgusting scene. Oh, my God. You show this pig. I mean, first of all, the Henson fucking, Henson shop had a bad week when they made this movie.

Nothing looks that great. It's super animatronic, which I mean, I guess there is some CGS. This is Henson? Yes. I thought this was Charles Entertainment. and cheese. It might as well be. Everything should have a fucking quarter slot, man.

It's bad. It's really bad. I guess I was reading, though, they had like not a lot of time and weren't given a huge budget. I mean, you can fucking tell. It is Chucky Cheese level animatronic shit. It's awful. I mean, like, and there's some CGI in here.

It all looks bad, but fucking, but, you know, John Goodman, she's like, oh, you know, Hey, Fred, it's me, Wilma, your wife. And he's like, hi, wife. And she's like, by the way, we need a new garbage disposal. But I noticed our savings account is, you know, destroyed. So he goes, oh, you can just fix it. All you got to do is go in there. And he starts fissing this pig mouth.

It's outrageous. It is disgusting. Just visually, it's like the fat guy from seven. It really fucking took me out of it for a moment. And it's like, vomit. It's so gross. I'm just getting sick thinking about it. And usually you'd get it.

It's a living, but I guess because of the fisting. I mean, this thing is praying for death every day of its life. There is a great, the pig comes back, we'll get there. It's horrifying because there are not one, not two, but three fucking forks stuck inside this thing. Oh, God, what an existence. But, you know, she finds out that he actually gave him the money to the rubble so they could adopt. We cut to the adoption agency. This is what I thought creationists would walk out because there's a monkey walking around like a man.

A couple of monkeys, they're adopting. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Mr. and Mrs. Henderson. Okay? Not monkey, fuck you. That's fair. That's fair. I thought when they said Mr. and Mrs. Henderson was going to be like a couple of Sasquatches.

Oh, that'd be cool. They should be like missing links. Yeah, for sure. Those also coexistence. Well, he bowls with the missing links. Oh, well, those are Neanderthals. Oh, pardon me. I want a full-on hair guy.

Gotcha. So whatever, they wind up adopting Bam Bam Bam Bigelow, the wrestler. That's a fat guy with a head tattoo. Oh my God, that would be awesome. He's wearing a big flame button down. Me and Bam Bam were adopted by the Flintstones. I was Pebbles and he was Bam Bam. Much like the cartoon pebbles, I had a sick ponytail.

Ew, luscious red hair. All I had to do was dye my little. rat tail from the production of a brachsus and just stand it up. Put a bow in there. I got fired from the live action Flintstone's movie playing Pebbles Flinchstone

because I refused to shave my mustache. Dude, they got, I don't know what, they got this Pebbles at a Maricate and Ashley Olsa discount warehouse. It looks exactly like her. Dude, I think it might be secret long lost sister. They were triplets and it was just like, listen, this shit will

fucking fly as twins, but hey sissy, you're the third wheel, you're done. Sissy Olson, then she was just forgotten about by time itself. Spielrock has his hands everywhere. He got on early and cloning. Oh, he's cloning these kids? Yeah, I think that's what's happening. I think this is one of like, you know, in aliens

they like threw away the botched ones. Yeah. This one, they just cast him in shitty movies. Well, it looks like a cross between like an Olson twin and fucking Pippi Longstocking. It is unsettling this little girl. So was Spielberg behind like the Culkin farm? Yeah. And, like, he did hybrids.

That's probably what he got from Pippi Longstocking. Welcome to Culkin Farms. We make our own cheese. We bake our own bread and we clone our own kids. You want a young boy? You want a precocious boy. He screams you a lot. I can get you that.

Here's the greenhouse where we grow our McCulley's. They're going to be coming in in a couple months. Oh, bad crop. Got a bunch of curins here. Here at Culkin Farms, we raise all our kid clones, pesticides. Free. Feel free to take a Rory on your way out. Thanks for coming in.

So Bam Bam shows up. He's super strong. It's annoying. The rubbles kind of get to know him. I do think Rosie O'Donnell is really good in this movie. Doesn't Rick Moranus get thrown out a window in this scene? He's super strong. That's right.

That's how that's sort of fun. What do they say he was raised by a... What? Oh, yes. It was some type of... No. It was a straight-up animal of some type. Not teradactyl, but like something of that.

No, it was like a mammal. Yeah. Raised by Trump's. Good God. The blonde hair on Rick Brannis is a little unsettling. It's very weird. It's very weird. You put him in a different fucking shirt.

He's in repo man now. You know what I mean? It's very punk. And also, John Goodman has my haircut, by the way. Oh, I found it. I found it. I found it. I found them.

Thank you, Zeb. raised by mastodons Bam Bam was raised by Masters You know what by the way Just thinking on Rick Moranus' hair for a hot second It's basically the Rick Moranus haircut Died Blonde Where is the Barney Rubble mullet?

Well, they didn't have a mullet? He kind of had a little bit of a mullet, didn't he? It was a flop over kind of a dish But the back kind of went down, did it not? It was a cling to that back there. That's when he was a cop in the 80s. No, he actually did it. He was a cop for a little while?

Was he? Yeah, there was one of those reboots of the Flintstones Fred and Barney were cops. It explains a lot. It was like end of watch. Yeah, I think that was your cocaine. It was like bright.

And instead of an orc cop, there was like a dino cop or something. The cartels have to pay, Bon. Oh, you're totally right, Steve. Yeah, all right. I guess I don't know why I pictured him with a mullet. Oh, dude, bad lieutenant Flintstones. Fred is jerking off under a fucking car window. Give me some kibble, barn.

Got money on the Mets Oh, the other thing I wanted to mention about Elizabeth Perkins playing Wilma Sure. She is so good doing this Wilma voice. I thought for like the first two or three minutes she has screen time that it was a dub.

Oh, really? I thought I was living in a cartoon. It was, I mean, the casting in this movie is good, you guys. They do, everyone does a good job. Everybody, we do this a lot with these kinds of movies. He's like big, whatever, high concept, like, low reward kind of movies where like certain people don't get it or don't care that's you can't

tell about anybody in this cast literally everybody even uh hallie berry yeah Kyle McLaughlin is doing good job Dan Florek is doing okay go to bed Fred Dan Florek's playing Mr. Slate yes yes he runs the SVU the uh the SVU uh there is a scene that they added after the fact uh that we are around so let's talk about it, the bowling championship. It's directed by, you know who? Who did the reshoots on this movie? Murder Man?

Francis Ford Coppola. No, close. Spielberg's pal, John Landis. Oh, that's right. It was during his dark, his banishment. Which continues rightfully so to this day. Can you imagine that, though? That's what I can get you.

Like, I'm fucking Steven Spielberg, and all I can help you out with is an uncredited directorial scene in the Flintstone's movie Goob. You know, there is, there, it was either going to be a bowling alley, a bowling alley scene or a teradactal scene. And he was like, ah, you know what, John? Let's do the bowling one instead.

John, John, just don't tell universe. Do you got another name? You got a second idea. Yeah, let's use Max Land Rock. But yeah, so this is a bowling alley scene. This is a very, you know, we get the Elks Lodge. Is the Elks, did I make that or no? That's what it's based on.

Water buffalo. I think each other team they're playing has a different animal representing their lodge where they go to talk about he-man, woman, hating. In the honeymooners, though, it was the Moose Lodge. And the Elks Lodge is a real-life thing. That my dad used to be a part of. My grandfather, too. Yeah.

But, like, I think the water buffalo thing is also from the cartoon. Oh, it is definitely is. And lodged it up. And so even the Fred's famous bowling stance with a twinkle-toes thing. And you get the Hannah-Barbera-Barbera-ba-ba-be-ba-be. The sound design is great here in this movie, too. Like they hit all of those things. Like the feet peddling with the car also works.

Yeah. But the most disgusting part of this scene, did anybody else throw up at this when they win the championship? Oh, I threw up the entire film. It's their team is like, it's Barney, Fred, and then a bunch of cavemen. They all are like, and bull from Nightcourt, my friend. Oh, yes, Richard Mall himself is in this movie. They all do, like, a bobbing for apples move in like a big goblet of beer.

I think it was milk. It was white, wasn't it? No, that's the foam. That's the foam. Okay, dude. It might have been pissed then. Dude, it's the fucking Stone Age, man. They are making beer the best they can.

Milking dinosaurs. I thought you were going to know, that's not how that works. Permanented milk. I thought you were talking about the consistency of when John Goodman starts sobbing at the stupid poem. It's like he's crying. Yeah, it's a very viscous cry. It's really gross. Barney is like, and it's kind of amazing because nobody wants to fucking hear this.

We're all just out having a good drink with the buddies. Pure ducks didn't evolve yet. It was just mucous ducks. Oh. Just spray and snob. A bit of history in this. Sorry, Steve, please continue. He's like, you know, my friend Fred bought me at a kid.

So, uh, I could do whatever I want with it. too. Anything I want. Anything. You're the best, Fred. And then he's crying fucking snot and boogers are flying out of his eyes. Oh, no, Liv. We just went to the Rubble's house.

They got a child farm. They got Bam Bam Lifting cars for money. It's disgusting. Yep, I heard about the Rubble Farm. It has nothing to do with the Culkin Farm. I'm going to be moving these boxes while I'm talking to you, but it has nothing to do with us, the good people at the

Colkin Farms, you can look us up, we're in the book. My name's Ice Age T. I'm in the Flintstone universe. Yes. You want me to wear what? Oh, man. Yeah, totally. But yeah, he gives this whole speech about my dear good friend, Fred, and

everyone's just very uncomfortable. They're like, dude, this is a fucking bowling alley right now. We were trying to celebrate a championship win. And later, Barty, like, starts to make another speech. And Richard Moll's like, God, is it another fucking speech about Fred? God, let's beat him to death and eat his body. We're cavemen, right? So, yeah, they win this big bowling trophy, blah, blah, blah.

There's a contest at work to see who's going to be the next junior executive, i.e., who's going to take the fall for Kyle McLaughlin's scheme. That's right. And so it's this whole, this is where, like, it's a major honeymooner saying, oh, boy, here comes a promotion. I'm going to be a big executive now. Oh, that's because Elizabeth Taylor treats him like shit. Oh, that's the motivation. In her final theatrical film performance, Elizabeth Taylor.

Oh, Jesus Christ. Wilma's mother, who is a mother-in-law, who therefore... Is terrible. Yes, he's a villain. But this is another classic cartoon character, though, man. Pearl Slag-Houple herself. I'll take your word for it. She was all over this cartoon.

Was that English, you just said? Pearl Slag-Huple. Slag-Hoople. Yep, Slag-Hoople. Slag-Hupel. Wilma Slag Hoopel. Is that not a Swedish band as well? No, that is the discredited

Steel Dossier. I did not Slag Hoopal. The Slag Hoopold Dossier is garbage. It's kind of outrageous, man, because this is like John Goodman is screaming in this woman's face. It's uncomfortable for a bit. It's really weird.

And it's also because this is like the family dynamic way of set up, which it's thoroughly rooted. in the 1950s and 60s like he's screaming at this woman and Wilma's just standing there like oh Fred yeah Jesus Christ

it's you should have married the other kid from the neighborhood oh right well these days oh what's old Johnny Bedrock up to talking about prehistoric these jokes my god is this where we find out that like she can't that Wilma came from like a cult family what?

Remember she comes from a rich family no but she makes this joke about how like They sacrificed Wilma's brother to the gods. Oh, yes. What if that? Yes. It's a, oh, fuck. Cabin's right.

I don't, it's a weird. Wilma is in Martha Marcy May, Marlene, essentially. She's talking about like the sacrifices that the family made on behalf of Wilma. And it was like, you sacrificed X, Y, and my brother Larry. It's like two animals. Uh-huh. And then the button on the job. Joker's and my brother, whoever the fuck.

And you're just like, wait, what? So who? Like King Kong or something? Whatever they're worshipping back then. Yeah, to King Kong maybe. Some sort of tiger god maybe. I don't know. King ring, the lizard king.

I don't know. Lizards or tigers I could get behind. You want to start worshipping those. Yeah. Godzilla. Just worship Godzilla. How about that shit? Dude, if it turned out that Godzilla was real, I'd be praying to that thing.

Are you kidding me? You know. Just in case. You never know. Godzilla's too. you know, known. I want like an unknown underground lizard. Oh, an indie lizard? Yeah, exactly. I want an

indie lizard. Like you want the tremors? You want the tremor monsters? He wants a lizard that's going to pester him to read his zine. Exactly. Yes. I want a lizard that will give me a great mixed tape. A lizard who's been to at least five Fugazi shows. So yeah, so there's this there's an aptitude test

where Fred does very poorly because he's really stupid. He's, I think he's playing him dumber in this movie than he was supposed to be in the cartoon. He's like Homer Simpson's stupid. He's really stupid in this movie. And I was sitting there the whole time

like I didn't remember the cartoon character the beloved Fred Flintstone excuse me being like just barely functioning. But this is how they play him in this movie. He's like,

I don't know, bud. What's drinking water have to do with anything? what do you mean breathing yeah barn then i met the president again but also this doesn't make any fucking sense like the whole thing is call mclaughlin is giving this test and at the end of it he picks the one who did the best yeah that doesn't make sense like you're looking for a patsy yeah it would be more interesting if they just played it straight here's the thing camman i think because he's got to file the paperwork on this aptitude test oh i see and he's like look these are all guys that dwell in this quarry anyway how smart can they be there's uh so so barney realizes that

fred did very poorly that he and he you know he's like well we'll switch the names i i do owe him for that kid i have which is weird like i'll never be able to there's a lot of like thought bubbles like how can i ever pay you back it's like you know if you get that job you can like literally pay him back yeah exactly leave it on the money man don't like just exchange a service for another service kind of a thing. You're going to be too bitter for the rest of your life? Barne. You're lucky everything works out the way it does. Well, thank God it's a Flintstone's episode. Yeah, I mean, thank God

his child's almost killed. Sorry, I can't help you with your end of life care. You should have got a better job while you could. That's capitalism. That is exactly what it is. Betty's got dementia. It's a fucking live in hell over there at the Ruffle household. We need living hell.

of capitalism. The debt is piling up because Bam Bam at one point they go to a store and there's a bunch of crystal plates and stuff that gets smashed up from the ensuing Bam Bam. And obviously the store proprietor just moves that debt onto this poor woman

that had nothing, no control over the situation. This is way later in the film after Fred gets the job and they're all fucking rich because then Wilma Wilma's like hey big boy put it on my credit card kind of that's a classic Flynn Stone's joke because women with credit cards, but da-da-da-da-da, charge it.

Yeah, that's a classic Flintstone's joke. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Women be shopping. Classic classic. Dude, Sinbad would have been great in this movie. He really would have. He would have been. He would have excelled.

Didn't Sin Rock do a pass on it? Sin bedrock. Yeah, there you go. Oh, you know who, I'm just looking at my notes because, like, I watched the movie and then, like, read things about it at the same time. for fear of paying attention the entire time. Jim Belushi was offered the role of Fred Flintstone. They said he was too skinny.

It's the only time that's ever happened. I'll take it. Well, because he had like a blood pact with Joel Silver, but then Joel Silver left the production. Well, there was, Joel Silver was involved. Ron, not Ron. Richard Donner. Richard Donner was supposed to do it.

He got this script where it was like during the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, Fred and Barney, going up and down the coast looking for work. And he's like, I should imagine reading this whole script. Like, the fuck did you waste your time for? No, we're not going to make this. Well, this, it's the fucking Flintstones movie. What are you talking about?

Yeah, that's really bad, by the way. Was that also a prequel? Or was the whole fucking family with him? I think the idea was like they had to leave the family to work. It's literally like grapes of rat. That's the way he compared it to in the trivia. That's really stupid. And they just go to camp to camp with the family.

Donner being like, 200 pages. You wasted 200 pages? 200 pages and there's not a bomb on a single toilet. Oh, there's a bomb on a toilet. They eat Dino on page 10. They had to. They fucking had to. We're not going to make this movie.

I love that, I think, at least for a while anyway, it held the record as having the most screenwriters working on a single title. and it was like 35. Oh, my gosh. And it came out so great. Well, their work shows, by the way. Their work really shows. But I will say that

Balushi would have been too much for this movie because he would have been a little too nasty to Wilma. Like, you know what I mean? The chemistry would be... Imagine Jim Belushi giving it to Elizabeth Taylor. Oh, man. Just really laying it in. Yeah, but damn it do, you stupid hooker.

Exactly. you're just a dumb bitch rock what i put rock at the end of it jim that doesn't excuse it and we're not we're cutting that whole the sea rock thing i'm not going to say it again but it's rock how about she stone sea stone down by the sea shore so barney's got these fucking ten commandment tablets that they did this test on And he's like, let's do it a solid for old Freddie Boy.

Rick Moranis flops the two tests in the envelope and turns it in. Turns out he got the highest score, but it goes to Fred. Fred gets this promotion. And he is indeed in this executive training program, which has absolutely no training time attached to it. He's in the fire face first. I mean, we're taking some digs at corporate culture here, I guess. Not really at all. I mean, we're more, we're kind of showing how, like,

like, great it is in a way because it's just like, oh, look, you're like a factory worker. This is called a desk. Yeah. And you sit at desk. Even better. The suggestion is really like, oh, don't bother going up there. You're going to hate it.

You're going to fucking hate it up there. Yes. It's better that you stay where you are. That's a better place to be for you. That's not to take money from us. Just don't do it. Okay. That's the top.

That's the end of the movie, which is kind of weird. Yeah, really fucked up. Very bizarre. He's got a dictator. Bird, which this is the most fucking Rainforest Cafe looking thing of the whole damn movie. This thing took my fucking mozzarella sticks order once

before, I'll tell you that much. This thing has got fucking C batteries in its back. Like, dude, just turn it around. I've seen better shit at the back of a Toys R Us, man. This thing's terrible. But this is actually a Flintstone actor, the guy who did the Great Cazoo, Harvey Corman, man. Well, royalty.

By the way, has anybody, has who has seen the prequel? I have not. Oh, I did, but many moons ago. Alan Cumming plays the Great Gazoo in that movie. The Great Gazoo. Oh, right.

And nightmares about that, that image of him as the gazoo. Because it's him, it's him dressed up, like, in face paint. It's the whole thing. He's like a little, right? And then they just make them small, but it's not like a cartoon. It's Alan Cumming dressed up like a fucking bad Halloween costume. Oh, I just threw up in my mouth. It's a stay tuned, that is what it is.

It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare. Oh, yeah. AD one of these days animation damnation which is a Patreon show we run You know what's a horrifying thing When he's told that he's given this Promotion?

Production? Can't talk tonight When he's given the promotion He does a yabber dabby do And he fucking floats in the air I don't think so live action movie Some shit just should not Transfer from the cartoon

And John Goodman on a fucking Polly getting hung up at the air First of all two pulleys And that shot inspired The Matrix. Did anybody notice, by the way, the morning that Fred Flintstone has to start this job? Oh, yeah? It is quite clear to all the adults in the theater that there has been a celebratory you got a promotion fuckathon in the Flintstone bedroom the night before.

Oh, my Lord. There's no windows in this world. The smells are wafting over. Oh, yeah. The smells, the sounds. Definitely the sounds. Yeah, there's the windows. It's holes in rocks are what's protecting you. Primal rage.

Primal rage. Just the, oh my Lord. Well, that's how people know not to mess with his stuff. Is the noise, the sex noises. And the sex stank. I got to rub my musk on the doorway or else someone's going to steal my wife. Yeah, you don't want to get on Fred Flintstone's bad side.

I see what he does to things he loves. So, but to be, fair with the sex stuff, Hallie Berry is very dangerously close to I got kids here. Oh, 112%. I mean, she looks great, and it is awesome, and she's actually really good.

This is also another one of these old stereotypes. Like, oh, the fucking hot secretary. Oh, my fucking God, Barn, I said anything. Fucking control my dick. I got a secretary? Hey, Bon, I jerked off at work today. Hey, Bonn, can you come to my office?

Hey, Barn, I threw up on the bus today. Bon, I need you to come to the office. Yeah, no, I'll tell you when you get his. No, all right. Bon, she's dead, all right? Is that what you wanted to hear, Bon? Now, come help me. And you got to get rid of this Dichterbird, too.

He's going to talk. I'm going to feed him to the raptors. Well, it's great that DNA evidence didn't exist. oh no my mother-in-law fell down a staircase again uh yeah my mother-in-law she fell on the staircase an owl flew in the window and scared her and she fell down the stairs it's the plot of the true crime documentary the staircase michael peterson rock oh my brother-in-law huh oh he fell in a wood shipper which is actually just a big snapping turtle Oh, my God.

So, yeah, he gets a lay of the land. It's very much like he's signing a bunch of stuff he's not looking at. He learns this dicta bird. We talked about a little bit as like this snooty bird that will, you know, take dictation for him. And we'll repeat it. But he's also just a sentient dude. That's the thing, though. Like in the Flintstones universe, like, you're never alone.

It's very uncomfortable. Like, you know, here I am in my office. And here's this, like, dude, bird. He's like, hey, man. We want what you want. Civilization. You know what the dude bird reminded me of? And I know it...

No, it totally reminded me of this. The butler from the nanny. That dude, remember that? Yeah, yeah. That's what it's like. That guy's just always in the background, fucking criticizing you endlessly in an English accent. I just had David Warner in my head the whole time. Oh, that, yeah.

He could be an hour talking. He looks like David Warner. So capitalism gets seeped into the... Oh, the first things first. He has to fire Barney Rubble because Barney got the lowest score on the test. How did that happen? Because Fred's stupid as dirt. Yeah, they switch tests.

There you go. And that's a weird. It's like the fugitive rock when they switch the sample. It's like strangers on a test. I love how that was not in any way of Flintstone's pun, but still a totally welcome to joke. It works. Chris Cross. Oh, so then another fucking horrendously awkward social situation in this movie.

Fred comes home from work from his first day and they're throwing him a congratulatory party. Yeah. And he's like, oh, Fred, come on in. Buddy, old pal, I got you this briefcase. This is insane. This is the most pig-headed thing I've ever seen. Yeah. Throwing someone a party?

Yes, that's also rude. I don't like surprises. But he's handing him this brief. this is a gift like you're promoted like you should have this briefcase it's got your initials on it no i don't want it he keeps refusing it yeah even though it's monogrammed for him he keeps refusing everyone's looking just take it and tell fucking barney that he's been fired later don't don't just say in front of everyone while you're receiving a gift for your promotion that you were firing your best friend from his job guys got a pebble in his fucking brain what do you like come on he doesn't know this

Shit. It's true. It's fucking dullard. Did anybody see his record collection? Oh, Bruce Springstone. Springstone, bone to run. And T. rex. He's got T. Rex. He's got T. Rex. That's fun.

Electric lizard or something. Oh, man. Well, that makes sense because there was that shit. What was it? Anyway. Well, then also the house band of this movie for no reason. The BC 52s. Man.

It's a lot. Fred Schneider brought that outfit from home. guarantee you that. Don't worry, I've got it. Like, all right, so Fred, we need you to come in for a fitting. No, no, no, don't worry about it. It was just Halloween. Loose fit, tight fit.

What you want, Jens. I would be totally 100% this sounds crazy. I'd be totally 100% fine with like a spinoff movie of just the B-52s on the road throughout the cave era. Yeah, man. We get to see like fucking like truck stops or, dude, here it

whatever. Oh, this is not a hip town. Better skip it. You hear the Flintstone's run noise and they leave? Here's what it is. You just take the exact plot of almost famous. But just use the BC52s. It's a lawn mowing lobster. Well, this is during that montage of just them doing rich stuff.

Oh, yes, yeah. Where they're going to like... Fucking in a hot tub like it's a VH1 reality show. So buying Liz Clarebone. Barney gets fired but Fred and Willem let them let them stay at their house which is very uncomfortable

And this is never get the rich montage Yes they add a story to the house They add so much in their Their worldly possessions increase And it's I guess everything's coming up Fred They're rubbing it in the rubble's face Well there's this really

The first scene where he's like Oh hey Bonn you know What's mine is yours I'm making you a stick Uh oh the dog's got it Better go catch it Yeah, he's like, I hope you like it rare, motherfucker. Yours is getting away, asshole.

Go get it out of the fucking dog's mouth. You know, Bondino's mouth is cleaner than our own. Especially back then. Bonnie, how do you like being my butler? Yeah, it's a plot from Sign Rock, but don't worry about it. Oh, and it's during this rich montage where we get the new garbage, Exposal, the lean, clean, new thin.

Which is only slightly smaller than the used model. I just want them to show the other one being put in a sack and thrown in a lake. Well, my favorite one is where we see Fred flying on Jeffrey Epstone's Terradactyl. That's the best of the bunch, I think.

Where's the thing where there's like, I think this is right after, it's in this, we're rich now shopping montage because the montage sort of ends with Bam Bam fucking up the China shop. Oh, right. And they go out into the parking lot and everybody's like,

Get the fuck down! And it's a teradactyl. And the gag is like, it's like a bird shitting on a car. Yeah, oh, dude. But this bird, it's like fucking, fucking Richard What's his face

and Ghostbusters getting douched with all that marshmallow shit. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. They make a point earlier, one of fucking the, the, uh,

newspapers he holds. Yeah. A fucking taradactyl ate a whole rugby team. Oh, yeah. Like those things can just fucking eat people. people. Why the hell is Rugby a thing that exists in this world? It's not even Rockby.

There's a, I mean, it's a gag in quotation marks, but one of the headlines on the newspaper is Middle East peace talks failed. Did anyone else see that? It's a tale only the time itself.

It's B.C. It's B.C., so it doesn't work out. It's fine. And the sub is like, Crackatoa erupts east of Chava. I'm like, okay. They also make a gag. They're going too far.

There's a, there is a, one headline I did grab was, there's a gag about that plane crashing in the Andes and they'll eat each other and whatnot. Yeah, yeah, hilarious. I guess a teradactyl crashed on a mountain. Rock 9-11 happens. It's a rock 9-11. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, bomb, boom.

Jet fuel can't melt rock beams. Why am I singing this song? Well, the weird thing is the B-50s, they do go to a club eventually when the B-F-2s are in this movie. Right. But it's not all of the B-52s. It's only, like, Fred Schneider, one of the women, and some other dude. Well, I think at this point in their career, the second lady, there might have been a falling out.

Because the other dude... I just feel like, nah, dude, I'm good. No, man. But it's the Flintstone. Dude, listen, if you are in the fucking B-52s, you will indeed appear in the Flintstone movie. You won't even worry about it. You're born to do that at that point. It's either this or the snorks, baby.

Oh, man. Dude, snorks live action. Yeah, where's that? Well, if we can do the Smurfs now, you can do the snorks. I guess we'll see how Aquaman does. I mean, maybe that's going to be an extended universe. Right, yeah, and Aquaman's fucking some snorks. He's getting some...

Yeah! I keep forgetting that I have to not care about that Aquaman movie. Oh, it's going to happen. I just forget that it even exists. James Swan's directing it. I'm kind of into it, but also if he doesn't... Like, he's a kind of guy who has to listen to nothing but late Metallica. that's his character

and if it's not there I'm sorry I'm out I thought you were talking about same anger motherfucker I think you're talking about James Wong no no no no no Aquaman

there's a great thing Metallarock that was right there that's true there's a great thing we're uh no oh no Bond Matala Rock's Brontosaurus

dipped over they're short one basis now we got Naprock taking us for us taking all of our clams Hey, Bond, they're going to play Enter Sandrock.

There's an alternative montage where it's like Barney's got a bunch of bad jobs. Oh, yeah. One of which is he's a crash test dummy. Did you catch that? That's sad. Well, at this restaurant where the BC52s are playing, it's like a weird like,

we're going to take our friends out for a night on the town. Boy, Bond sure is late for dinner. And then like Barney's the waiter. Oh. I got all this Coke. cocaine to do. We're rich now, Wilmer. Hey, Wilmer, look at my cool business card. Doesn't

this ivory font look awesome? Because we live in the Stone Age, it's actually, it's Coke rock, which is, it's crack. We're smoking crack, Wilma. And it's delicious. We have to have it in rock for it because it's

the Flintstones. Yep. Moral rot in capitalism go hand in hand, even in the Stone Age. It ate ball. No, no, no. It's called a bolder. Bolder.

And Betty's feeling very uncomfortable with the whole situation. At this restaurant, which is... Oh, my God. I can't believe this is what killed John Balloucestone. Cavern on the green. Yes, yes, they go to Cavern on the green. Which, this was one of those dumb moments in IMDB trivia where it's like, in this movie, they go to a restaurant called Cavern on the Green

and Rick Moranis works there and in Ghostbusters Rick Moranis' character goes to Tavern on the Green and is eaten by a mystical dog and you're just like, why? Why did anyone take the fucking keystrokes? Other movies are awesome. If you are watching the Flintstitch,

what were other movies like? So, yeah, they have this it kind of comes to a head here and Barney winds up punching Fred. Well, this is after it's revealed that Fred, unknowing to Fred, because he's an idiot, has signed away a thing where all the dudes in the quarry get fired because Kyle McLaughlin's whole plan is he's going to introduce

this automated quarry system and they won't need the people anymore. So there's like a weird news report where the newscaster, by the way, is Lorraine Newman. Why did you even get out of bed for this? Also, there's television. There is an actual run. broadcasting images. They have a big screen TV in the house, too.

And that's a weird thing because most of the shit in this universe exists in ways where they get around electricity except for like TV's of the show as well, though. Like, TV's always existed for some reason. Yeah, they have headlights. It's really weird.

Yeah, they go to a drive in theater in every episode, right? Eric, did you notice your best friend on one of the TVs? Oh, yeah, dude. Mr. Popcorn or Dr. Pepper? Dr. Pepper, also known as Jay Leno. Oh, I did not. Yeah, I did not. I blinked and I missed bedrock's most wanted or one. I was looking for it all day to day on YouTube and I couldn't find it. He's like doing an unsolved mystery show essentially. No, it's like America's Most Wanted. Oh, but it's the one where they're doing like the fake, the reenactment of the crime. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, I did. I remember the reenactment of the crime. Yes, yes. I totally miss those. Speaking of Blinky, you miss it. But they have like, there's a dude who plays like the TV movie version of Fred. Sure. There's someone who. plays the TV version of

Kyle McLaughlin and I don't know if this was supposed to be a deleted scene. I did not see it but it was supposedly Sam Ramey. Oh wow I didn't see that. No I think they cut it. They must have cut it. I was looking for Sam Ramey the entire time and he doesn't like pop back up and I was like oh maybe they'll go back to that TV movie. That's a fake

shimp right there. Now time for me to get some sweet sweet Mr. Simpson no! So they Wilma winds up leaving Fred at this point because she's so disgusted with the way he's acted smashes that house up something good

all the rubbles also move out at this point yeah the rubbles move out they're homeless actually they're living on the street yeah it's fucking real dude it got real that kid man yeah try to fucking hawk that shit yeah get that money back yeah paid 25,000 claims oh they live these sick sons of bitches got a kid for the adoption for the money

but now they're living on the street eating ostrich eggs to whatever. Hire him out. He's an enforcer if I ever saw one. Who? Rick Moranis? No, Bam Bam. Yeah, he's super strong.

Yeah, he could be the heavy. Get the rock mafia and like... It's a rock mafia. But no, but to be fair, though, like, that's something that should happen. Or is it, like, uncouth where, like, a kid working for the mafia? I don't know. It's probably happened. No, like...

Simpsons did. If you... If you're standing in society, goes so low in this BC world do you like just become a garbage disposal like what you know what I mean like maybe that becomes your job now I have to work as Fred Flintstone's

toilet I thought you were almost going to for something like the lobster yeah a little bit cut your neighbor's lawn which one is going to be my toilet yeah debtor's prison would

definitely be toilet school for everyone toilet school So, yes, they wind up. You know, it's your beginning of the third act situation. Everything's going down. There's a weird thing here, though, where, like, so, like, Fred figures out what the deal is fucking finally. Oh, sure.

And Hallie Berry goes, Mr. Flintstone, you should run while you have the chance. Yeah, dude. So then, like, the rubbles are homeless, and Wilma is with her mother. Ms. Slaghupil, I believe she's a widow. Oscar winner Liz Taylor. But then Fred, it's like John Goodman's walking around in this disguise and he runs into a homeless Jonathan Winters? Goodman in this disguise looks like fucking Tebvia, man.

It's a very specific look. And there's like a gag where like there's a Wanda poster, which is just a cartoon. Anyone else notice? So like he's talking to Jonathan Winters. Jonathan Winters is drinking like hard whiskey kind of a thing. But it's the most terrifying thing. He's down in the dumps, and who does he run into but his own garbage disposal?

Oh, that's right. Oh, yeah. And it notices him. And it goes, French stone! It's like invasion of the body snatches. Well, because everything else can, like, every, there even is. There's one, it's a living joke somewhere in here. It's like, this sucks.

This job sucks. It's at the beginning. no, it's when they're at their lunch break, and this fucking thing is used as a bottle opener, this poor little animal, it's like, crack. But I mean, like, everything can talk fine, but this malformed pig garbage disposal that's always wet is just like flinch rat. You know why? Here's the thing. When that garbage disposal graduated from disposal high, he had the voice of an angel. But he's been swallowing the fucking Flintstone's goddamn detritus and fucking fork collection for the last 10 years. Also, he's sweating. He's trying to get away from Al the

pig butcher who has to take care of all these things. Dude, yeah, I want the guy who's cutting them things up and eating him. Real homeless hard times. Stand-alone film not only of the B-52s, the B-C-502s, but also Al the Pugure. Only the disposals. I only do pigs. So they they catch Fred. Everyone's looking, because the whole town's out of work essentially because, you know, capitalism doesn't care about money. It doesn't care about like what it's doing to the society.

Society is crumbled at this point. Literally no one has a job. As long as the bottom line is increasing, you know, automate that shit. Jeff Beezwhacks or whatever the fuck. Well, you got fucking Bernie Sandstone man talking about all the 1% is taking it all away from the rest of the goddamn

cavemen. And then you've got all these other fucking cavemen doing parentheses Bernie Sandstone around him. You know what I'm saying. Yes. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah. It's not fair that Mr. Slate makes so much money

and nobody else gets a fucking fair shake. Fred Flintstone, he works hard every day. Nothing. We need to unionize the appliances. Oh, yeah. They've suffered enough. That's what the mission would be. Oh, my God.

There's no difference between what he's saying and Joseph Stolen. we did a Soviet Union in this show Well there is one line about Which brought up a whole world of possibilities Where they're like talking about Fred's intelligence Earlier on in the film And like oh he's he's no Albert Einstein

Which means Albert Einstein exists So did the Nazis exist? Nazis exist The Roxies dude The Operation Paperclip happened And they got Nazi Rock C scientists into the United States to help us walk faster

when we drive our fake cars or whatever. And they just finally got Commander Ike Rock. Anybody seen that movie? No. Yeah. Operation finale or whatever. Maybe if everyone in the world is like,

dude, it's the best movie you'll ever see. Maybe. I felt bad because you could get a whiff of that desperation. I kept getting like, I'll get emails that are like, you're invited to an exhibitor screening of X. I got a bunch, I've never had this happen

that we're like, by the way, just a reminder. You haven't RSVPed for that Operation Finale screening yet. And I'm like, and I'm not going to delete. Now we get to the most uncomfortable part of the movie. So the town comes with their pitchforks and torches and whatnot. Which in its own right is a fine joke. That's an old, tried, and true.

Of course it is. That lets you know that you're on the outs, right? It could be Frankenstein. That's what the Frankenstein imagery is But until That's all fine Until you just gently Toss a rope over a tree

And you're like Wait, what's happening in this movie? And then it's a weird Like Barney's next job Is he's an ice cream truck driver And he pulls up to this crowd And he's like, oh hey, Bonn

And fucking Rick Moranis is like What are you doing? And John Goodman utters the line I'm getting lynched Before that even. Yikes. Good thing I'm wearing white. I'm an ice cream man

Before that there's a chant of string them up Yeah Oh yeah there is And then they're gonna also Lynch Barney with them Because they're friends They're associates

This is very very bizarre Then all the sun out of nowhere Jonathan Winters just starts going If I was a stone man A biddy biddy biddy biddy biddy Biddy Biddy Yeah that's pretty cool It's weird man

It gets dark It's very weird Wilma saves the day and then literally leaves the movie she saves the day because she's like oh you know the dicta bird probably knows all about this

fiendish plot let's steal him and you know that's fun so then the dicta bird tells everybody and no one no one you know the dicta bird apparently is unimpeachable you know what I mean like it's well you could probably repro

hey bird say this that's what's no bird that's the thing is like they treat it like it like you said like an unimpeachable entity, but it's a conversational animal. Yeah. It could lie. Yeah, of course.

But I think he has to preface it with like, I fucking hate this guy. He's an idiot. But here's what went down. It's like the code of the dicta bird, I think. It's like that movie The Rocks of Others. Everyone's dictabirding everybody else. I'm listening to everyone get their rocks off.

Oh, well done. So Kyle McLaughlin decides to to introduce child death to this movie. Sure. Well, we just had fucking lynching. Why not? Welcome addition, honestly. It's a step in the right direction.

Get rid of the lynching, up the child death. Show me him, like, warming up to kill the Flintstone and rubble children by killing other children. One thing to threaten, you know, child death, this is, like, worse than what the Yellow King did. They're throwing them into this, like, thing that's going to bash them to death, essentially. Did anyone notice a scene? I didn't see the video. tape, though, that dude sees

that heavy set gentleman watches on the boat. I wish I saw that. Oh, God, damn it. Fred, you're just kidding a close-up of Fred Flintstone. That guy, the Yellow King, could have played Fred Flintstone. That dude was huge. Oh, yeah, he was, actually. Did anybody notice in this scene when Kyle McLaugh and steals the

kids, his eyes are really dark, and he has, like, longer hair for some reason? It's really weird. Oh, fuck. I think that's Mr. C, dude. Mr. C-rock? Oh, we didn't go to the Moose Lodge You went to the Black Lodge, Bonn Brett Flintstone The B-52s are playing at the Bang Bang Club

Well No, I don't, Ray, I don't need the dicta bird I don't need anything, Ray I want the dicta burn and you're going to get it to me what year BC is this? Yeah, but damadur!

How's Annie? Yeah, so the kids have been kidnapped. They come home. Elizabeth, this is a good gag. Elizabeth Taylor is fucking hog-tied on the floor, as is Dino. Fred steps over the mother-in-law to untie. tie the CGI dinosaur and

then keeps leaving her on the floor and walking over. I was laughing. It's funny. It's a fun joke. He finds out that his kids are kidnapped. They go back to the quarry. This is a bring the dicta bird. You get to save your children from a gruesome death. This is where it's the, I should have signed

with Disney. Lying this bird farts into the camera. They're like, hey, dicta bird, we'll figure out how to save you after we save the kids. Was that a reference to Gilbert Godfrey's role in Aladdin? like how well, how like a cultural phenomenon that bird was. Oh, it could have been. Jafar's bird, whatever it's called.

Iago. This bird saw the future. He's like, oh, dude, every single cultural property will be with Disney. I should have signed with them. And then in the weirdest moments, so we have this like quarry battle. There's like kind of a fight or whatever. And then a thing, like I know we're just transferring present day things to Stone Age times and whatnot. But the move probably should be, you know, let's not have guns in this world.

The gun is weird. It is weird. It's like a Dennis the Menace rubber band gun kind of shooting marbles at people. It's just unnecessary. How about a hammer? Yeah, that'll do it. Your cavemen, have a hammer. Or a fucking bat.

Where's Bam Bam's bat? Barney puts himself with a sling. I was just picturing like a casino-esque scene now. Don Rickle Rock gets beat. Damarock Barney jumps into us a catapult tries to save the kids

gets knocked out that's sort of something but what you've been called Mrs. What's her face? Miss Stone Hallie Berry She's very funny throughout the whole movie She's great in this movie

She knocks over Kyle McLaughlin And to save Fred And he's like Oh Mish And it's like this weird erotic tension he's like oh miss stone you're so bad and she's like i know mr flintstone oh yeah well dude in another time in another place man if wilma's slag hoopel had never come into the picture thank god i'm wearing this thick tent you wouldn't you'd see my feigning caveman cat see he should

have been tapping no listen there was so much hair down there because they're less evolved that it's just it's a net it's like the thing is like tied in there oh Hey, Miss Stone, I'm free-balling under this pelt. Got a sharp rock to cut some of the brush away. Also, Kyle McLaughlin is defeated by bowling. Yes, that's right. John Goodman rolls a strike and hits this dude. Also, a totally unexpected situation here.

Kyle McLaughlin covered in concrete and murdered. Oh, right. Completely murdered. Just dead to do rights. Breads that, like just. It's drowns in his lungs. It's like the end of snake eyes. It's disgusting.

But with Kyle McLaughlin, you can't ever be sure. Is that him? Or is that another one? You never know. Double ganga. Double ganga. Double gang rock. Now say it backwards.

But yes, he is murdered at the end of, like, and I get it. It's like that's what happens at the end of the end of Adam's family, but that makes a little more sense of darker tone. We are laughing about the specter of death through both of those movies. Well, no, I mean, you remember in the prequel, in Viva Rock Vegas, they have Agent Vandercave. And he's helping them out everywhere. Eating pie, it's a nice little scene. It's just bizarre in this more or less children or family film to have your villain breathing in concrete till dead.

And like, and with no one cares either, like, oh, why would you? You know, the cops come and they arrest Sharon Stone And she's like, oh, you know, maybe they'll be lenient on you and there's a little more sexy flirting Well, yeah, we should mention there's a weird thing where like Kyle McLaughlin has turned on her And he's going to take all the money and go to Roccoco and he's like, uh, he does the only excuse I'll go down there first to check it out and I'll uh, I don't know send for you at a later date which why would you not bring her what are you doing down there

is a great question what do you expect to happen don't to split the cash or I'm sorry the pebbles or whatever the fuck they're flinging at each other but you missed it this is Chris's point

which I agree with so Mr. Slate comes out he finds the husk of Kyle McLaughlin his once friend and he's like blintstone what a great idea I'll call it

concrete. It'll make a billion space rocks or whatever rocks, whatever the bullshit. Shels. And, you know, he's like, oh, blah, blah, blah. I'm going to make you the head of production, this, that, the other thing. I'm like, I get Fred's supposed to learn a lesson. Maybe he should be like, yeah, but only

if my buddy Barn here can come with me. Or even like, yeah, but then so long as everyone in the shop gets a big raise and da-da-ba-b-b-Barn. Give the fucking job to Barn. Just say, but hey, he got He got the aptitude test right. He deserves it.

But he's like, you know what? I'm better off being who I am. Who am I to take your money, Mr. Slate? I'll just work in slave labor for the rest of my life. Hey, Mr. Slate, you got an imbecile son, don't you? Why don't you give him the job? He would do great in their positions. He does negotiate.

Even better, does he a friend have a son? He should get the job to. Is he 19? Great. Yeah, he does... Fred does make sure that, like, the workers get two weeks paid vacation, which I guess is something. I mean, it's not enough,

but I guess this is the very early collective parking. And it's called a cost of living increase. Like, no, ask for, like, a 10% raise or a 20% raise. He also... Cost of living, that's 3%, dude. He also created modern art, essentially. The first sculpture? Oh, right, he's the first...

He's the first artist, Fred fucking Flintstone. He's Damien Hearst, man. And I mean, it is, it's exactly what a fucking, like, tycoon would want, a fucking, a living person that's dead in their office forever. Absolutely, dude, like someone comes in and you're trying to regale them with how cool your office is. And it's like, see that statue over there? If you took a hammer to that thing, there's a person inside there. See that statue over there?

He used to work here. Yeah, a taxidermied, like, pizza man. A little tasteless, but something like that. If you're in the Slate offices late at night, you just might hear him scream. Oh, what were you saying about a race? Oh, yeah, you want to leave. That's right. Mr. Slate, by the way, looks a little bit like Dana Carvey's Mr. Turtle in this movie.

Oh, yes, he does. With these ridiculous glasses and Dan Florex roundhead. Please don't remind me of that movie. What? Master, you're talking about Master of Disguise. Oh, you don't want to be reminded of Dana Carvey's master of disguise. Turtle, turtle. Hey, cabin, turtle, turtle.

Stop, one day. Pistachio disguises, is I believe, the character's name. Jesus. Yack. And then we just go into the theme song again. Sure. You know, the weirdest thing about both the cartoon and this movie, there's always this cat. Yeah.

You've taken out. You never see the cat. Yep. Yeah. Which is very bizarre because the cat always immediately jumps back inside. So presumably the cat's in there. at all the time. Or you think, hey, this is a show about a cat, because the cat

wins. That's true. Well, it doesn't, you know, like, some cats, like, you just have them around, man, you never see those things. Did you notice on the IMDB this is the first time Fur was used for CGI, it was for that cat? Oh, wow, and you saw it for all of five seconds in this movie.

Hey, Stephen, could you send me that disc, that floppy disk? Send me the floppy disk with the hair code on it, Stephen? Oh, I'm sorry, uh, gorge. You want It's George, don't be a dick. I'm sorry, you want Spielrock. You've got the wrong number.

Listen, goddammit. Chewbac is supposed to be younger in this one, so he needs more fur. That's cute. That's fucking cute, Gorge. You know, someday, Stephen, when you least expect it, I'm going to kill you in your sleep. Then we'll see who's on top. Well, come at me, Bullfrog. I hate that guy so much.

You know he didn't even go to film school? I mean, come on. I directed fucking Tar Wars God damn it That's not even His real hat Is he still on the phone?

Is he still on the phone? Break call, break call Ah, that's the end of the movie That was the end of the Flintstones 1994 Would you recommend that Steve Zaday? I would not It is a whatchit

It's a big fat watch it It's a bizarre movie Right I don't think there's a better version of this movie also Like, you know what I mean? Sometimes we watch it's like, oh, I would watch a movie by the Flintstones, but it would have to look like this. Right. I think this is the best it could ever get.

Where does this rank as far as TV shows into movies? Oh, God. Does anyone have a scroll with that? Do you have a list with you? Or are you just throwing this out? Well, no, just off the top of my head, because like, bewitched is terrible. Bewitch is terrible. The honeymooners with Cedric the entertainer is terrible.

They haven't done Green Acres yet. You know what, actually, I'm going to say no. Dog shit. That's, that's, sorry. I got one, guys. I got one. Auto-focus. Excellent film based on a TV show name.

Swat is worse. Swat's bad. Sarski and Hutch is... That sucks. Pretty much is good, but it's a little too cute by half, but it's better. The Adams family, both of those are the one. I think that's got to be, that's like, that's what you aspire to be is the Adams. There's got to be more, though.

There's got to be better ones. I like the Jetsons movie. I'll be honest. No, we're talking live action adaptations. Only, okay, fine. I will say real quick, a really good comic series that came at last year of the Flintstones by Mark Russell. It's really funny and really smart. It's like a weird...

Oh, no, Bon, it's colon cancer. It's like sharp satire. It's really, really good. Is it? Yeah, it's really good. I have the book. Is it like sanctioned? Yeah, no, it's by DC.

DC did it. Oh, yeah? The art is great and it's just very, like, smart stuff about modern life and consumerism. I got a list here. 21 Jump Street. Oh, yeah, much better than it is. Good movie. Marmadoo.

much worse. Was that a television? Oh, wow, I'm a big dog. Wasn't that comic strip? Didn't they do a cartoon? Oh, wow, look at my big dog dick. Alvin and the chipmunks. Oh, Ebe.

Some of these are just like wrong. I'm not counting Babylon 5. That's not as a TV movie dude. Hey, dude. Probably. Hey, buddy, theatrical release or bush. Like this list says Batman. Well, Baywatch is on here.

That's terrible. That's all. Rretched. But they're always bad. Beverly Hill. Billy Hillbillies, but that's a stay tuned. Oh, man, the Beverly Hillbillies, I guarantee you I've seen that movie at least 15 times.

What? I've never seen it. I've never even seen it. Oh, really? Because it was a classic Juppin family mistake of we taped this off TV and we're going to run that VHS into the ground. I'd remember the Dolly Parton cameo chef's kiss. I appreciate Diedrich Bader eating a huge

subway party sub all to himself. Anything else? Charlie's Angels. Those are bad. Yeah, those are bad, but they're more fun. They're better than their. This one's fun. Chips. Not good. I was like, wait, that was a movie?

Oh, yes, it was. Dark Shadows is pretty good. Yeah, I like dark shadows. All right, let's sit here all day. The point is, I think the thing to aspire to is Adam's family. I love the Dragnet movie. Yeah, because you're wrong. Chris, would you recommend this film?

I would not. I guess it's kind of Jurassic World Rules. Watch it once. Yes, I agree with that. And see what it. it is but like also we didn't get it like the fucking the product placement is ridiculous

this is the birth of the McRib motherfucks Baskin Robbins had a lot of money in this Marshall Fields the fuck is Marshall Fields used to be like a Sears or something it was like a Sears oh Marshalls yeah the fuck is the field

it was originally Marshall's motherfucker oh I forgot Chris Cabin grew up in fucking 1953 I enjoyed the fucking Marshall Fields lunch counter you fucking mania. And I interned at the Nick. So, by the way, I found the actual best movie

adapted from a television show. The Fugitive. Oh, right. Yeah. It's also, I haven't seen them, but the equalizers is also... Not good. Oh, the saint, speaking of spy movies. Mission Impossible. Mission Impossible. Oh, Mission Impossible by there, yeah.

Eric Siska, would you recommend this movie? No. This was not good at all, and I didn't like it. Thanks. Wow, pretty straightforward. We'll see. you tomorrow, Eric. It's a tight 90, though. It is.

I don't care. Listen, I'm going to recommend this movie. Speaking of the fugitive, by the way. I don't care. The Flintstones is 90 minutes long. I don't care. I would totally recommend this movie. It's 90 minutes long, which is fantastic.

You're insane. I think it's a hangover movie. And here's the thing, aside from the bad chunky cheese animatronics, man. it's not a cheap movie like everything had to be built from something which I think is really impressive about this movie the production design

One of my favorite Die Hardin to Prep School movies, the other of which, another stay tuned, Toy Soldiers. And I believe this movie has crazy 90s fake hacking in it, which is a sweet spot for me.
