This week on We Hate Movies, you just may hear four grown men die of brain damage on the air.
It's the cat in the hat.
I'm Andrew Jupin.
I'm Stephen Saneck.
Chris Funderflug.
Eric Thingtuska.
Yikes, and we hate movies.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to We Hey Movies. Thank you for tuning in, as always. Like I said, up top, this is The Cat in the Hat from 2003, directed by Bo Welch.
Uh, famed set designer.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's the only thing you remember about this fucking thing.
The set design, it's like sub Burton.
Well, that's, he did a lot of Burton.
Yes.
Uh, Batman Forever.
Or Batman Returns, rather, was him.
Now, what is Dom Burton?
So we got the sub, like the dominant bird.
Ooh, yeah.
David Cronenberg.
I guess so.
It would have to be more Burton than Burton.
Yeah.
More Burton than Burton.
Maybe Tobupper.
I just cannot imagine Tim Burton being a dumb, though.
Dude's a sub.
Dude's a total sub.
Not on Halloween.
This feels like Halloween, by the way.
Like I said, some of them said last week,
like this Brutacular is continuing.
It certainly feels like it.
I was fucking horrified during this movie.
Speaking of Hucking,
speaking of fucking horrified,
being horrified,
I just want to quickly tell our listeners
that this month's Patreon episode
on patreon.com,
We Hate Movies will be
Dr. Seuss's
The Grinch that stole Christmas.
How the Grinch stole Christmas?
You butcher, you barbarian.
Oh, that must have been fucking some people up
at the Blockbuster there when that movie came out.
You want to put it under G and your manager's like,
Terry, the fuck is wrong with you.
It's an H movie.
Were they real sticklers for that at your Blockbuster?
Mine was a Wild West, dude.
Will you be serious? This thing had
its own display.
People were sent to this movie.
It was the wall, yeah, it was the total wall.
But these movies are a piece, and we're doing both of them this month.
One on the main feed and one on the Patreon feed.
That's right.
It's exciting.
Now, it was funny because when we were talking about the Grinch, which we recorded before this.
So this is the tenses here may be a little out of order.
So bear with this.
But on the Grinch episode, I talk about how I was just like an usher at the multiplex when Grinch came out.
When this came out, I was a projectionist at this point.
So I had actually seen more of it.
of this movie. Yeah, thank God, dude, get away from those
fucking disgusting customers on the floor.
The cold isolation of the plebs.
No, but like, so when this came out, I was a projection
as I saw a lot more of it, but like
seeing it in bits and pieces, I could, and mostly like the end credits
in the beginning, like a few minutes or so.
You can't even put together, like what this. I had no idea
what I was in for. Because it's not a movie.
The story itself is not a movie. It's a book
that helps kids learn how to read.
a cat in a hat i get it that's cute oh he's a silly little cat in the hat are you talking about it's over well wait a second
in that book there's no fucking lurid child abuse there's no lurid child abuse there's no mom getting
fucked on the side by alec baldwin no cat wanting to fuck the mother does that actually happen though does
alec Baldwin succeed in that mission oh in this movie says no but like i guess the subcontents like
the scene between scenes maybe there's some wait a second you were to believe that
Kelly Preston's a virgin in this movie?
She's got two children.
They were immaculate conception.
Oh, but you're saying, though, just Alec Baldwin as the boyfriend.
She was visited by a cat in a hat, came down from heaven.
Look, you get fucking.
You're pregnant with God's child.
Exactly.
Oh, yeah.
The Holy Ghost was this cool swinger from outer space who put the baby in her through sexual means.
Yeah, that makes sense.
That one makes sense.
I think you want to add non-sexual means to that.
that's what they tell you, but, like, right, it's the Holy Trinity.
You got, you got dad, you got the son, and then you got dad's cock, which is the Holy Ghost.
I'm not sure if it's going to be sexual on Kelly Preston side, on the alien side.
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's very sexual. Sex aliens and from God.
So right away from like...
That's Scientology? It might be. I haven't read their literature.
Dude, I think it, like, an illustration of Zeno is actually just the cat in the hat.
I'm the final level. Can you believe it?
You spent $70,000.
It's a cat, that surprise, you broke.
It's Tom Cruise.
Oh, yeah.
All right, let's just, fuck what I was going to say before.
Let's just get into it.
This performance is deplorable.
And, dude, take a shot every time he just goes, oh, yeah.
Dude, I wanted to jump out a window.
This is, I think you said it via text, Andrew.
It's a debasing performance.
It's very much the equivalent of, like, somebody that, like,
did a real Broadway play, like really made it.
Was in Susico, for Christ's sake.
But failed and had to go back to his town
and then has to go do like kids' birthday parties.
Oh, Raj.
Ghostbusters too.
Exactly.
It's very ghostbusters.
Oh, my God.
It's humiliating.
But that's exactly right, though, dude.
This performance, even though it's in a multimillion dollar movie.
Of course.
I'm sure he made oodles for it.
He just looks, sounds, and feels like a children's birthday party performer.
Yes, exactly.
That's exactly what it is.
I heard it's somebody's birthday here today.
I don't think he had a drug problem.
Oh, yeah.
But a drug problem is the only thing that would at least make sense.
Dude, there are, listen.
A cat needs snow.
A cat needs snow.
I tried, dude.
Hard as I might, Andrew couldn't fight the fact that there was not enough weed in the house
to make him fucking pay attention to this movie.
Just like, I felt my brain.
dissolving inside my skull
because again I mean like the
the Grinch at the very least it's got a story structure
it's got the very least it's set around
I mean and I'm talking about the book that you could turn
into a possible movie sure
there's like a thing you know the Grinch wants
something he tries to do it and then he learns
something and then he doesn't do it this is literally
two kids sitting around a house
on a rainy day and then like the cat comes
around fucks around for 12
does he fuck it up does he like destroy the house
yeah he messes it up and they're like oh no cat
you piece of shit he's like well here you go
let me fix the house and nothing and no one's ever the wiser end of book didn't you learn
how to read or not that's it so there's no like them learning lessons about like how to be good
siblings to each other any of the things that they learn just listen to fucking mom okay that's literally
the whole thing you kids better straighten up quit horsing around i'm dr seuss god damn it i need
a bound of catnip oh yeah dude the oh yes i just can't it's like someone's fucking goose in his
ass every time he says it. Oh, yeah. Oh, and ooh. Ogoose again. Oh, yeah. Jesus.
So there was a cooling system in the cat suit as I read. Was there a goosing system as well?
Yeah, dude, this is a little, it's actually like a sousified little glove. It looks like the hamburger helper guy.
And it just goes, Hong Kong. And according to this, the IMDB Tribune trivia. Oh, shit. America's
greatest source for entertainment news and tidbits. That's right. New List.
Listeners might not know we call the IMDB, the IMDB Tribune or just the Tribune.
I feel like people are getting really lost in this podcast.
I just called it the news for the longest time.
I was reading the news earlier today, Chris.
And I saw that his cat in the hat suit consisted of human hair.
Oh, fuck you.
Manson's shit, man.
From all my victims.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
They suffered.
Here's our wardrobe designer, Ed Gein.
He's going to get really creative with it.
You won't put real teeth in that cat or quit?
I think it was a combo of human hair and something else.
Yes.
But the human hair stood out to me.
And baby hair.
When I read that, what is he has a baby hair?
I mean, the shoot is all going to be college girl tan.
You know that.
That's gay.
That's gang and you know them.
They just were shaving live dogs and putting the hair on this suit.
Oh, man, Ed Gein wins an Academy Award for the Cat in the Hat.
That'd be amazing.
Oh, fuck my mother.
Fuck my father.
Hey, both them.
Thank you for the Academy, though.
And you know what?
They've been great.
They've been great to me.
By the way, Colleen Atwood, you could shuck my dick because I won an Academy Award.
That's right.
It's me, Ed Gein.
Dude, speaking to which, though, the fucking, speaking to the crew of this movie,
winning Academy Awards, did you see who shot this thing?
Who?
Oh, yes.
Emmanuel Lubeski.
Gravity, Revenant, Birdman, Children of
Men and many more.
Like, what the flying
fuck? This prepared him
for gravity because that movie's all
computers, right? That's all just
cartoons. That is true
actually. That's great. It's Sandra Bullock
in the fucking thing. And, you know,
she finally gets the Soviet station or
whatever, or the Russian station's like,
I don't know how I'm going to get home. And the cat in the
hats outside. Oh, yeah!
Let me in. I'm suffocating.
No, no, you can't do. You want to have some fun
tonight? You can't do that.
that to her. That's like Pontypool. She'll go crazy.
Oh, yeah. Oh, great movie, dude. Pontepool.
Let's get this party started.
Well, I'll get you home with an
earthymographic thing of a jigger.
And by that, I mean,
open up the gate.
He, by the way, we should mention,
we're kind of doing
a little toned up.
We're doing snaggle pussy. He is doing
Linda Richmond from coffee talk.
Yeah. Like, hardcore.
Like, I think fucking Lord
Michaels has a suit here.
it is so bad like from the beginning and like the worst oh the other thing it does is it's constantly
excusing its own jokes yes that's like half of the fucking jokes in this way explain explain kind of
like saying like like um the perfect example is when he's under the bed with them okay and he's just
like you're supposed to run now yeah uh because he's yeah he says something stupid and they just sit
their dull face. Or like
he'll say something stupid
and then be like, what, nothing, folks?
Really? Nothing folks? The talking
to the camera in this movie is outrageous.
I don't even, like, maybe the Grinch does
it a couple times. He is having
like full on dialogue with the audience.
Because there's nothing here. There's no story
that children are just bored.
That's it.
Well, I guess so
they do add some high stakes that mom's
fucking job is on the line
by Sean fucking Hayes. Right. So let's cover
that part. So the mom is Kelly Preston.
She works at, uh, uh, uh, uh, it's a real estate office.
Lunderflue. Yeah. Real estate. That's your name. Oh, yeah. Sorry.
No, that's you. Who am I going to give Chris Runderfleum? Million dollar check. That guy deserves it.
Uh, the boss is Sean Hayes, who's like this germaphobe maniacal. It's like Howley Mendel
Inc. Oh, man. That'd be a terrible place to work. This whole movie is like a, some type of
Howie Mendel horror. I think Sean.
Hayes is the only one that has a right though, dude, because I need
fucking hand sanitizer all throughout
this movie. I wanted to be drinking it.
Putting it in my eyes. One of those movies
where I was like pausing it every like
seven minutes just to take a breather.
It does. It builds up on
you real quick. I stopped.
I was like, no, dude.
I had that moment where you're like,
let me just pause to see how much. I was like, no, no,
no, no, no. It'll go by
faster if you don't know.
Because you'll be heartbroken. You'll be heartbroken
with the information that comes back to you.
the number. Even if it's five fucking minutes,
it's a collusion. I'm sorry, I have to know.
I'm a man of impulses. I fucking
got to know. So also they live
in the town of Anvil.
Yeah, we start with like a fake Dr. Seuss
narration by just nobody.
Just some dude. I was totally misremembering this
movie, by the way. I thought, and my wife pointed out
I was conflating it with Royal
Tannenbaum's. I thought Alec Baldwin also
narrated this movie.
I had no like understanding that
he was in it. The fighter flubes lived on
Archer Avenue. Actually, that's a
great point because Wes Anderson is kind of like
the modern Dr. Seuss. That's right.
He dresses exactly like. Exactly.
All of his stories are
fantastical at all. It's
surreal. There's no way that
he would have that jacket and
it would have that pink color
on the wall. The densest tweed.
Several layers of tweed.
Corderoi in places you didn't know you could
stick corduroy. I'm the cat
in the hat. What am I going to do with this
master's degree?
I'm overeducated and underpaid.
Oh, boy, do I love Paul Simon.
Cat, I'm dying.
The fuck you can.
I was kicked out of academia.
You know why.
Oh, no, that's dog's blood.
But yeah, well, we have this, like, fake, like, we're going to know what the town of Anvil is like.
Like, who gives a flying fuck?
Why do I need a town?
Yes.
just post up the one
I don't know
I don't need to know where they live
I don't need to know by the way
a fucking detail
that Dakota Fanning
drops later in the movie
and it's supposed to be a joke
is that the town of Anvil
specifically I guess
is a constitutional monarchy
okay
a lot of weird politics jokes
in this movie
I gotta tell you
because this is a grab bag
of who is it for
the answer is fucking nobody
and you just stuff in
whatever you can
wherever you can stuff it
devil's advocate here they're painting
a picture they're showing you the town
would you prefer it in like
just a darkened void
I would prefer I felt like I
was in a darkened void
while watching it's nowhere because I would not
watch it in a darkened void I wouldn't read
watch it with the noid I wouldn't watch it
well he ruins pizza
you can't watch it yeah yeah
but like let's say it was like under the skin
and instead of Scarlet Joe Hans
the cat and the hat leads you down into this
darkened cellar that's
That I would watch.
Yeah, I would watch.
And then he makes you take your clothes on.
Yes, dude.
You watch somebody, like some fat dude just like tumble into the blackness?
Yeah.
And it's just the cat in the hat like, got you again.
He's just getting collected fat dudes.
Let's fuck.
I'm killing all these fat Scottish guys.
Oh, I'm on fire.
Yeah.
Better movie by far under the skin, under the cat skin.
You're right.
I thought it wouldn't be, but it really is.
but yeah
I'll tell you one thing
that's not in this town
black people
there's no not at all
not even a hair of one
one mover
oh congratulations
so a character
doing manual
yeah exactly
oh thank you for this
NWACP award
well you know
to play devil's advocate
a little bit
the cat is black and white
yeah
there is that
uh huh
he is
uh-huh
yeah I know
clearly
so the mom is
I guess in charge of hosting
like this month's office
get together
yep I don't know what this is
because it appears as if
Sean Hayes is forcing
the employees to hold
his work parties at their homes
I guess it's like an open house
because it's real estate but it doesn't make any sense
but she's not selling her house
I know that's
a really good point. I don't get it.
But then the other thing is he's a neat freak, as we kind of said,
but he just fires somebody immediately
that tries to shake his hand. So you know, the
stakes are very high here.
They're so high. And Sean Hayes has taken this
performance for a walk.
Well, he's got two performance in this movie, dude.
So he's got to see which one can outact
the other one, because it's this and then it's voicing
a goldfish. I think on the Grinch,
I said I hadn't seen this
and I never tried to see this. I was
lying. In fact, I had tried
to. And I got, as
far as hearing him say,
feed.
Yeah, he's like, you're fired.
You're fired.
Oh, yeah.
And I immediately turned it off.
Dude, he's like he's doing an earnest impression.
Could not get past it.
Hey, Vern, you're fires.
Dirk.
She would never fire burn.
So, yes, Alec Baldwin is Kelly Preston's boyfriend who lives next door.
Yeah.
Well, they're not really boyfriend and girlfriend yet.
It's like the game had just begun, right?
How is the game just begun, but he's also like,
Listen, stupid.
Your fat son should go to military academy.
They've definitely been together for a while.
Do you think so?
They have to have been with this kind of discussion.
There's at least been a hangy.
I won't hear otherwise.
I won't listen to it.
Don't try to fucking convince me.
I will not jerk your dick in here.
I will not jerk your dick in there.
I will not jerk your dick anywhere, Alec Baldwin.
Now get out of it.
of my Seuss House. I thought it was all this
con because he's got like dentures
and like this big belly
that like is a secret. I thought like he
was waiting to like to like
really sink his teeth in this family
in order to let it all. You can have sex
with a shirt on. Yeah. Is that true?
Sex shirt. Is it science? It's a
choice. Dude, you can leave your shirt on
at the water park and you can leave your shirt
on while fucking. Yeah.
That's my favorite Dr. Seuss.
By the way, I think this is one of the
greatest
Acting transformations of all time
because there's, yeah, there's a scene
where Alec Baldwin is revealed to be
not who he says he is
and like Eric said he takes out dentures
and takes off this girdle and whatnot.
You see Alec Baldwin before your very eyes
transform right into Daniel Baldwin.
It's fucking,
because they give him this like prosthetic gut
and he's like sticking his finger in the belly button.
Yeah, it's very disgusting.
And his TV gets repossessed,
much like Daniel Baldwin's TV is repossessed.
Well, here's the thing.
Where does he actually,
where does, where does,
Where does Alec Baldwin become thick?
Because this is right before this.
It's around the cooler.
It's here.
It's happening earlier.
It's starting to happen.
It's happening!
This is one of my favorite.
He's still got thin face, though.
It's thin.
It's thickening, though.
Yeah, it's thickening a little bit.
Compare this to something like Beetlejuice, it's night and day.
Well, yeah.
Or even, even when he was.
Hunt for Red October.
Working girl.
Exactly.
That's what I was going to say.
But I'd like this.
I like this.
What was that?
Malice, the film Malice.
I think he said he played a mouse.
Which is ridiculous.
I'm a fucking mouse
Yeah I've voiced a fucking cartoon mouse
I like this era
Because it's you know
It's it's it's like the decay of handsome
Like it is like it is like
You're on the edge of a cliff
Two wheels of that car are off
And it is just about to go
And I love looking at it
Much like Beetleju's by the way
It's death of Beetlejuge
It sounds like a joke
But it does seem like his skull has actually thickened
Yeah
It looks like his head is bigger
Yeah something happens
That happens to a lot of men as they get older.
My head can't get any bigger, man.
Just wait, dude.
I'm going to have to install a system to be able to walk around the street.
We'll get you a wheelbarrel.
My name is Andrew Jupin.
I'm pumpkin head.
Chris Cabin, Eric Siska.
But what's weird, though, is like, then he married that woman,
and, like, she's really into health and yoga and stuff,
and he became, like, a vegetarian, and he's, like, he's slimmed down again.
But the head, it's like, it's only as far as it'll go.
I don't understand it.
When you get older, like, the earth spins and gravity just pulls your face and your skull.
Does this head get stuck in a vice?
That's what happens to everyone.
Like, you just, like, it gets thick and not.
It becomes like cartilage.
Like, all your flesh turns to cartilage.
I think his hair just hides one of those, like, on a beach ball, those things.
And it's, you, oh, just his wife has to blow it up in the back.
Oh, and then it gets inflated a bit.
He's getting blown every day?
Yeah, every day, man.
Every which way?
So, um, we, we meet the kids.
is Spencer Breslin and the other one is Dakota
Fanning.
My note for Spencer
Brezlin was disgusting shit boy.
Oh, come on.
Because his face gets covered in
some type of dirt.
Purple goo and dirt. It's disturbing. Whatever it
was. When I looked at him, I wrote that down, but then
it took me a minute to realize what I written down
because I thought I called him a disgusting shit
bag. I was like, that's not right. I wouldn't
be that mean. Do you have the hand now?
Michael Cain's the hand? I do.
It's a shit monster.
But, yeah, Spencer Breslin's like the bad kid.
He's very rowdy and bad.
And then Dakota Fanning is the buttoned up one.
Right, because Spencer Breslin, I should mention, very messy at the start of this film.
He's a dirty boy.
Yeah, he's like wiping his ass with his hand.
I couldn't even believe it.
One way to call him a disgusting shit boy.
He's duct-taping, like, junk food to himself and throwing himself down the stairs.
He uses his mother's dry cleaning.
Yeah.
Wow.
As like a sled.
It's fucked up.
He's like Dennis the Menace.
If somebody want to get this kid a fucking Xbox or what, dude?
Like, you know what?
Enough.
Yeah.
Like, she's got a little, what is this device?
Is it a Palm Pilot?
What is with the fucking Palm Pilot movies we've been talking about?
We've been trying to get, we were trying to make that happen.
We're around the odds.
It's still around.
The ghost still haunts us.
But at least she's got like a little device to entertainer or something.
Like, she's not making her mother's dry cleaning a toy.
why is it like she has a high-tech device
and he lives in the fucking dust bowl
fucking up all her groceries
she has to go to the fucking grocery store every day
he's got a fucking like plastic ring
that he's kicking down the street with a stick
maybe because he fucks everything up
this kid's dirty
disgusting shit bird
so it's like he's just ruining everything
he might have had a game cube
yeah perfect time frame for a game cube actually
and it just got destroyed
from his disgusting shit behavior
Well, that's what maybe she's like, I'm done wasting money on you.
You can just play with dry cleaning bags.
You get peanut butter on one more fucking controller, kid.
I ain't paying for it.
Because those controllers ain't cheap for some reason.
Just wedged in there, like it gets into electronics, and it's like this peanut butter in there.
Come on, kid.
So Kelly, you know what?
Yeah, sure.
There was a disgusting shit boy that actually buried my duck hunt gun in the backyard.
Are you fucking kidding?
What?
This dirty fucking kid came to my.
house buried my uh my uh duck gut gun in the backyard was he he was dirty like pig pen
kind of sort of man did he guard it wait did you did you know this person or like a wild link
came into your home the jersey devil he's going after the duck cut gun gun give it back
well i said his name three times and he arrived oh that'll do it was he like just a friend that came
yeah and he was like trying to be funny or something
and it was like and then it just didn't
work because he fucking put dirt in the
goddamn holes
I mean like dude that shit don't work no more you can't put
dirt in Steve's holes and expect him to work
you know what you should have done dude you should
have told on him oh
I ain't no rat I've never been a rat
did you make him pay up though
you should have made him pay you should have hosed him down
at least if he's his dirty filthy
little mongrel you have to
fucking hose him down at least do you remember
do you remember who he is we should visit him no seriously
We should fucking, with interest.
Get that fucking gun back.
Look at what the price was,
then figure out what the inflation would be.
You can at least terrorize his mother.
Like, hey, your son.
Hey, look at me, stupid.
Your son buried my gun.
20 years ago.
Yeah.
Special one, it was orange.
You stole my duck hood.
But Dakota Fanning, I think she was a good kid actress, actually.
She was.
She's good in this.
I think she's great in man on fire.
Man in Fire is a tremendously
entertaining film.
Is that the one with time travel?
No, that's just, it's just, it's basically
She's like the daughter of a rich person
And Denzel's the bodyguard
Remake of a Scott Glenn movie.
Yes, it's basically
The Professional
But there's no sexual
tension between the child and the adult
Yeah, that's probably the movie. I'm out.
Still a lot of Bjork though.
I will stick with the professional, thank you.
What is the
a Tony Scott movie I'm thinking of
though where he's like kind of winding back time
deja, yeah, deja vu, yeah. I was going to say there's like an
exploding boat for some reason in that movie. Jim Caviesel
does it. Oh, is that right?
Oh, praise the Lord. He's a terrorist.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition, man.
I've not watched any of her news. I never saw that
neon demon. That's not
her. That's El Fanny.
Oh, gotcha. Dakota Fanning is
a Dakota Fanning is an old hag these days.
She can't find...
No, El Fanning just makes more interesting
movies like Dakota Fanning was in the
Ewan McGregor Philip Roth movie and it was clearly
like a oh fuck my little sister's doing
cool things I gotta try to do a cool thing
and she's just like playing this like
drug addled homeless girl
Dakota Fanning is about a year and a half
away from playing Kevin James
her ranged wife in something
that will certainly be
24 that'll certainly be cancelled in a few
what was the thing did you see that thing with that
Kevin knows the world or whatever that fucking
show was? Kevin knows best my friend where they
fucking murdered his wife and then brought Leah Remini on?
Wow, what a smack in the face to that woman.
They buried her in the backyard like a duck hunt gun.
I'm going to bury you in the backyard like a fucking duck hunt gun.
Listen, listen, listen.
I'm a feral kid, right?
And I'm going to bury your duck hunt gun.
Burry you in the backyard like a fucking duck hunt gun.
I'll just picture you like with the hose spraying this kid.
So, oh, right, the cat and the hat.
So basically, Kelly Preston, oh, right.
Kelly Preston's like, all right, listen to you rowdy kids.
Like, I'm having this party.
You know, you can't mess up the house.
We're doing this, that, and the other thing.
Clint Howard comes in playing Kate the caterer.
That's a fun gang.
By the way, is in both this and the Grinch movie.
Yeah, dude, he's got the monopoly on the sousaverse.
I think he scammed his way in.
Like, you know, Brian, they're making, they've got this, the cat and the hat all set up.
They're doing the table reading, like, is that Clint Howard over there?
I don't remember hiring Clint Howard.
Do you?
And then like, they go over it.
It's like, oh, no, no, no.
The widow Sue said I had to be in both these movies.
She just loved what I did so much in Grinch, you know.
It's fine.
You take it up with her.
Just give me whatever roll you got.
She was a big fan of my scene in the dentist.
Is this all the cold cuts they got?
They got more back there, you think.
Some pastrami, maybe.
Widow Suis said I get to get.
to have whatever I want for lunch.
It's like when George quits that job,
like in a huge fashion,
it goes back in the bus.
It's like, is that Costanza down there?
Is that Clint Howard down there?
Could you bag up them M&M?
I'll take those home.
Are these free?
Is that a Kramer line at some point?
Yeah.
Are these free?
So, yes, she gets called back into work.
There's some emergency we don't hear anything about
because the movie doesn't even care
about that side of the story.
We do briefly see her just like typing something.
We have no idea what this work emergency is.
She's like a real tour,
but that's like,
but that never leaves the office?
That doesn't make a whole lot of,
it doesn't make sense at all.
Make it something that has some weight
that makes sense.
A big presentation.
Or you know,
you look out the window
and you see the twin towers are falling
and she's a reporter or something.
Even better.
Even better, I say.
With a little agency.
You're right.
The Seuss universe should have come.
commented on 9-11.
I think that was a missed opportunity.
I'll be our Connecticut is kind of the closest to the sousaverse of all the states, I would say.
I, what, do you think so?
Maybe.
What, is there any sucier state?
Maybe Louisiana.
That is pretty suzy.
What?
Why?
Because they talk funny.
Oh.
People down there just rhyming constantly.
They get a babysitter in Amy Hill playing Miss Kwan.
Oh, speaking of sign.
She's on that fucking awesome episode
where Frank Costanza is revealed
to have had an affair with a Korean woman.
She's that lady.
Yeah, she's hilarious.
I mean, she's, you know, been in everything.
She spoke ill of Mike Myers.
Yeah, she did, which is great.
Yeah, she said it was like the worst,
like he was the worst to work with.
He, like, refused to talk to anyone other than the director.
Oh, that well, yeah.
And he would give actors notes on how to do their shit.
Well, that whole the love guru stuff,
whenever you heard those stories, they were just.
Mariska Hargatay.
Mariska Hargitay to you, too.
Mariska Hargatay at my fucking funeral after my suicide from watching that movie.
Don't you do that until we inevitably have to do it.
So just wait.
Just don't do, don't say it.
I've never seen it.
I'm waiting until we do it.
Wow.
Yeah, I mean, the funny thing is, yeah, I begrudgingly admit that that's a stay tuned.
It's the Ark of the Covenant.
That's what that fucking thing is.
Dude, that's the series finale.
How about that?
I thought this was the series finale.
With you every week is the series finale.
I wish, man.
I'm going to, yeah.
stay tuned for next week
might be the funeral episode
it turns out that Eric buried himself in his backyard
like a duck hunt gun
yeah I got I got dirt in my holes
and now I don't work anymore
true story
so yes
this woman comes over to be the babysitter
and it's just this like running gag
if she's like tired and clueless the whole time
we do get um she puts on the TV
which I'm like it's raining and the kids have nothing to do
and that's like the actual opening of the cat in the hat,
which kind of doesn't make sense in any time after like 1995.
Like kids don't give a shit about going outside.
It should rain this whole movie.
It should be constantly raining to keep them in the house.
And that's why the whole story in the original manuscript was contained to that house.
The original folio had that, yes.
But I guess they don't think it's suzy enough.
They think it's got to be bright and colorful non-stop.
No, it's just because they're stupid and they want to do something.
Oh, where they have that is.
Yeah, I think that.
They do this thing where they show Taiwanese.
parliament and it's like back in the thousands there there are people that were
that's when everyone's body slamming each other or whatever like it's actual footage
but we're doing hya karate noise we're dumping highac karate noises on it
that's fucking racist dr seuss and well yeah and the the woman is watching it as if she's
watching like professional rassie yes kind of a thing and the and this is it's an
obnoxious thing because like the kids apparently understand multiple geopolitical
political situations, including what is going on in Taiwan Parliament at that moment?
And just on that basis, the whole house is racist.
Oh, yeah, you got a little right in there. I like it.
Oh.
Good for you.
I was trying.
But now, they're under a constitutional monarchy, so they're obviously not in the United States.
So those kids would generally be better educated.
Yeah, they'd probably speak at least two languages.
Like, despite having a king and all that arcane system, but they still have an educational system.
and healthcare and you know we have our you know department of education which funnels all of its money
to haliburton and sure at this point yeah almost all of it i would say that's the difference
still getting it anyway yeah they're gonna get it it's just amazing that you know while watching
dr sues i realized or uh watching cat in the hat i realize just how truly fucked we are here yeah
you took the cat in the hat to make me really just click it'll do that to you she falls asleep
oh i'm sorry oh i was just going to say the other thing is just like the movie has a bunch of
of like intense
intense quote unquote intense
like fucking like child abuse in this movie
I was joking around about it on Twitter
but like one of the things we should mention
because it's important is Alec Baldwin
he is threatening to like get the boy
sent to military school but then also
the boy has a falling out with the mother
they have this argument about like
she's like please don't use my dry cleaning
for sport and he goes
I wish I had a different mom to which
she screams back in his face
well sometimes I wish
the same thing.
And I'm sitting here like,
this is for children.
Tone all of this down.
That argument needs to be like,
you're grounded, go to your room.
No, and that's the end of it.
All of a sudden, where the wild things are.
I'm waiting for the fucking arcade fire to kick you.
Oh, are you kidding me?
I thought this is the opening scene of
Diane Lane has to hunch you down
because you have traps around the city.
Oh, yeah!
I have that on Blu-ray.
watch it again. It's just, it's a good movie, but I'm like, you know what? I've never seen it.
It's good. It's so good. Where the wild things are. Spike. Oh, it's great. It just looked too
gosh dang sad. It is. It's very, very sad. I just had to hear Gandalfini in that, in the preview.
And I was like, nope. Now try watching it. No, I know. It's even worth 10-fold.
Gandalfini is cat in the hat. That's a better movie. Of course it is.
Him as the Grinch is better, too. Oh, that would be pretty great. Actually, you wouldn't have needed that
Fupa.
You wouldn't need anything.
It's just naked
James Gandalfini.
It's just green.
So we're watching
Taiwanese parliament and then here we go.
The cat in the hat fucking shows up
and this is an introduction
to beat the band.
He's a hider in the house.
Oh, you think he's been there the whole time?
He comes up from the upstairs.
Oh, does he?
Yeah.
When they open the closet, he appears
on the other side of it.
Oh, that's right.
I guess he lives in the attic and
he probably killed the last residence
and ate them by the way
and then slinked away
and like into that
he's still in the house
so they never looked
they were looking for the killer
outside
there's a bunch of skeletons
and one of them
was holding a contract in its hands
yes
a lot of cans of beans
oh yeah many with the human flesh
and he's not on screen
for two minutes
there's a fucking erection joke
it's not it's not
It's not two goddamn minutes.
He gets a big boner.
He looks at pornography.
He looks at a picture of Kelly Preston.
He's like, oh, this is your mother?
There's a fucking foldout joke.
Yeah, but it's like a magical, like he looks at the picture and then it turns into a foldout.
It looks, it's supposed to be dead.
And he steals it.
He, like, puts it in his magic bag or something.
The hat, his fucking turgid cock hat just fucking blips up.
Dude, it gets rid to lick his crotch to later, I guess.
This is so crazy.
So his penis is on his head.
It's on the top of his skull and it shoots up the hat.
Well, I think his hat here is much like the sorting hat in Harry Potter, dude.
It's like a sentient being.
Wait, that hat was a boner?
No, well, the hat just knew like what was up.
So like this, the cat and the hat hat, like maybe it's just that hat is what's sexually attracted to Kelly Preston.
Do you think the sorting hat got horny occasionally?
Absolutely.
Well, well, you're going to be in Gryffindor.
Or if you want to be in Slytherin, you can talk to me later.
Oh, look at this.
It's a new defense against the dark arts teacher.
How about I sort you, baby?
Well, just put me on top of a new cap with a flat real.
Just let me feel it.
Hey, lady, do you ever make it with a hat before?
Yeah, fuck you.
I was cursed.
I used to be a man.
Now I fucking tell children what dorm they sleep in.
Of course I'm horny.
Don't worry.
It's just sex with me.
It's just me yelling at you from the corner of the room.
You know, I'm going to be in one of those fucking fantastic beasts movies.
I was probably somebody once.
Man, Chris, you just made me realize I've had sex a lot.
So the cat in the hat breaks out with his phonometer and determines that,
that Dakota Fanning is a control freak
And that the boy
What's his name? Randolph
Conrad. Conrad. Equally weird.
She's what, Sally?
No, I got disgusting shit boy.
He's old now. It's fine.
Yeah, but you know what, dude? When you were a little kid,
I bet you looked like a fucking disgusting shit boy, too.
Without a doubt. You probably buried
Dunk Hunt Guns.
I buried all kinds of guns in the yard.
Don't worry about it.
You got buried these guns in the yard now
because when the Lord comes,
you're going to need to dig them back up for the government.
That's right.
Before Grandpa Siska gets the sledge.
That's right.
We need to be prepared.
I understand.
Conrad, the cat says, by the way, is a bedwetter.
But for whatever reason, the cat can't bring himself
to tell him that the phenomena says that he's a bedwetter?
He sees it very clearly.
No, the cat sees it, but he doesn't tell the cat.
Spencer Breslin see
Conrad sees it very clear
But then why does the cat lie to him about it?
No, he's like, no, can you tap?
He openly says, hey, can you tap that?
Yeah, like basically the thing is broken.
Oh, the cat, oh, he asks that?
Yes.
Oh.
But the thing is.
And then the cat's hat gets an erection.
Yeah, again.
It just keeps getting hard.
Can I tap that?
Do you think Spencer Breslin was upset when Abigail
Breslin got nominated for the Oscar?
Yeah, just like how,
Dakota Fanning is livid constantly that L. Fanning keeps making cool movies.
Oh, I forgot. These are two little kid dynasties.
Yes, absolutely. And both of the kids in this movie are nothing while the siblings are something.
Yeah, that Dakota Fanning, she just did that alienist show.
Which people said was good, and I can't speak for it.
You both watched it?
But actually, Spencer Breslin, much like...
Steve Dodge that question.
The fuck was that?
I will not answer that.
I will not tell you if I watch D&D's the Alien.
Sir, move along.
No, I, uh, no, I watched like two episodes.
Oh, I see.
It didn't do it for me.
But Spencer Breslin, actually, much like his, uh, his, uh, his, uh, his, uh, his, a catchphrase in Disney's the kid.
Which was what?
I'm the kid.
No, it was, I grew up to be a loser.
Oh, right from the, ripped from the trailer, they say.
That's true.
It's true.
Ripped from real life.
Is he acting anymore?
I don't think so.
I'm sure.
I'm sure he's a harsh burn, man.
That was me going out of my way to make a harsh burn
Get him get Spencer to the burn ward with that
So he has
Quite a disturbing musical number here
Where he's dressed up like a
Chiquita banana looking
Mascot
Scarrier than anything I've ever seen
Scary than anything in this boot jacket
I'll tell you that much
Rubbing his watermelon butt
I almost die
Yeah dude he's got like shiny watermelon ass
and he's rubbing it. He's rubbing it like
a fucking animal. Like, oh, he's
a cat, man. He's a cat.
Yeah, but, well,
please.
And it's a bad
gang's all here reference. Like,
everything's better yet. Oh, yeah, wow.
I missed that initially.
It's bad. What with trying my
best to green out for this movie?
And basically, he's like, well, we're
going to have a lot of fun today, but first
you got to sign my contract.
Oh, man, listen up. Kids at home.
Never sign a contract. And adults puts
in front of you
when parents aren't around.
This contract scene
is very 50 shades
of gray to me.
You know what I mean?
Now we're going to sign
this contract.
There's a contract in that movie?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
It's a sex contract.
It's a sex contract.
Yeah.
Really?
Sex chaldron.
I thought they closed that place.
Maybe it's a dating contract.
No, it's a sex.
It's a sex contract.
I could do this,
that and the other thing
and you got to take it or something.
Is that part of the kink?
Yeah.
It's part of the game.
Wow, man.
Paperwork.
What a hot fucking kink.
Yeah.
Must be nice to have
that be a turn on.
Sign those fucking documents.
I'm so hard.
Look at my hat.
Look how hard my hat is with those documents.
If that was like one of the little Murdox.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Little Murdox, they cut your tendons.
Come play with us forever.
At our news network.
I do, Chris, I do like your notion about maybe the cat in the hat is a furry.
That would be a good twist in this.
Oh my God.
It's just a guy.
That's awesome.
Yes, dude.
And it's the same thing.
One of the kids is going to the bathroom
and they open the door
and it's just a cat
the head's off and it's Mike Myers
and he's fucking taking a piss.
Just a fucking human dick.
Didn't expect to see a human dick
when I walked into this litter box.
Oh man,
I've been there.
And he has the weird human butt
when he pretends to be a mechanic.
Oh, right.
He does.
See, that's a hint.
Yeah.
I think we know what's happening.
I also think he's taking a shot
at Larry the cable guy in that scene.
Oh, probably.
Larry was top of the charts.
It was 2003.
Wow.
Way to be fucking.
throwing stones, Mike Myers.
You're making the cat in a hat.
Honestly, I'll tell you this.
He's not saying a bomb is a hoax.
That's actually true.
And making fun of Coach Carter
fucking 15 years after that movie came out.
Hey, look, they're good people.
They would never send a bomb to Hillary Clinton.
By the way, everybody's sending a bomb to Hillary Clinton.
That's a joke.
Actually, the best part of that whole thing
was when he's talking about how
the dude didn't spell get her done.
right on the thing and he says
he sent a tweet and my fans
would spell that right. Are you
fucking crazy?
Do you know the swamp people
that love you?
You fucking animal.
To his credit, he probably just assumed
well they would obviously have one of his
bags of cheeseburger flavored potato
chips lying around that hasn't written on
it 15 times. All right, I'm going to
write, get her done on the bomb.
Let me check my box of Prylasek
OTC to remember how it's spelled.
Okay, okay, okay.
Who do you think is easier on set, Mike Myers or Layer of the Cable Guy?
100%.
He's probably a dream on set, I bet.
Oh, yeah.
And let me throw this out there, too, because I am confident in saying this.
Every Larry the Cable Guy movie we have done on this program,
whether it's jingle all the way to Health Inspector, Whitless Protection,
whatever the fuck, Tooth Fairy 2, they are all leaps and bounds better than this movie.
They are. They are.
Prove me wrong, kids.
What was the super racist one we did last?
That was Whitless Protection.
It's tough.
But that is like a remarkable movie.
So I can't really.
I got to say they're more watchable.
They are.
At least when I was watching them, I was like,
well,
it's a movie.
This is nothing.
This is a pamphlet with dog shit inside it.
They signed the contract.
One of the jokes, by the way,
in this contract,
they pull off form that says
that the cat and hat
has indeed been spayed and neutered,
which means probably his hat can get an erection,
but his dick is gone.
Oh, yeah.
Just a nice fucking, my balls are cut off joke for the kids in the back.
Is it my balls are caught off joke?
He's talking about fucking lactose intolerance.
He's like, oh, I can't have milk.
It'll gum up the works.
And this is around where he burps all over them and shit falls out of his mouth.
Hair balls.
Oh, the hair balls.
Why would you do it?
Children get facials in this movie.
It's like a snot from Ernest Scared Stupid.
It's like the gooey's fucking thing.
He vomits four times in this movie.
Four different times he vomits.
You don't vomit four times a day?
Dude, if you vomit four times a day, that is a serious problem.
You know, he signs a contract that he's like, hey, how about a fun sketch where I do an infomercial?
And everyone's like, no!
And he's like, well, too bad.
It's going to happen anyway.
Oh, yeah!
Saturday Night Live!
Oh, yeah!
Dude, what is greater than one cat in the hat?
Three cat in the hat's on screen at the same time?
And a Shrek in a hat.
What?
You got to dust off that fucking Scottish accent.
You got to bring back Shrek?
Oh,
the Shrek go back.
Yes, he's due well.
That's funny, though, because, like, you heard Shrek, I just heard him kind of,
he's trying to do, I heard it as, like, a bad, like, Robin Leachy, like, hoity-toity English person voice.
Or like the father and Smyrd and Axe matter.
That's closer to that, yeah.
He'd!
I mean, it's heavy Scottish, and that's just what Shrek is.
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't hear, I mean, again, I was trying my best degree.
I was like, oh, this pleasant Englishman.
You want to make this movie worse, Shrek shows up, right?
Just fucking Shrek's visiting.
Well, later on, do there are certainly echoes of Shrek in this movie.
We'll get to it.
Anvil might be near the Magic Kingdom.
That's why, or whatever in that place is called.
That's why it's a constitutional monarchy.
Or maybe Shrek's king.
Maybe Shrek is king.
Converse theory, it's next to a nuclear power plant.
Yeah.
And everyone, cats are just deformed.
Dude, and then so the fish that Sean Hayes' voice
They should have three eyes like on The Simpsons
And those kids just eat nothing but lead paint
They're just fucking
The cat's not even talking
They just drinking asbestos
They're foaming at the mouth on the floor
That's what they should do dude
Is every once in a while in this movie
Cut back to reality from this hallucination
And like Spencer Breslin's just gnawing on a wall
Kelly Preston stewing drywall
I gotta tell you man
I had more fun watching
that David Lynch Rabbits thing
than this.
Oh, yes.
Of course, yes.
Rabbits is great.
Fantastic.
This is fun.
It's actually more fun to watch.
I see.
Yeah, now I get where you're going.
Rabbits is pretty harrowing,
that's what I'm getting at.
What comes first, though,
because we're talking about this infomercial sketch thing,
which is fine,
but we only briefly touch on it.
I can't remember now the circumstances
behind why he turns into that plumber.
It's something.
Because they're going to bounce on the couch.
Oh, yes, he was a couch mechanic.
Oh, it's a mechanic.
He's a mechanic.
That's right.
They're going to jump on the couch and he's got to, like, modify it.
Fights a fucking elephant in the couch.
Dude, that is fucking nuts.
Like, the cushion flips up and this elephant trunk comes out and he's just grabbing this
fucking phallic trunk.
Down there trying to find a fucking laugh.
And he comes up with nothing, dude.
You know what it reminded me of in Ed Wood, where Bella Lagoos.
he's wrestling the fucking fake octopus
and like Edwards directing him
like it's just Mike Myers
like grabbing this fucking
elephant trunk apparently
he wanted out of this movie really badly
like they had to sue him to actually do this movie
no is that right yeah they like he
Tim Allen was going to do it
Tim Allen dropped out
well I already played a shaggy dog
rough rough rough
the cat in the head is rated X
well he actually said that
he's like I wanted to do the cat in the hat
because the cat in the hat
scared me
and I wanted to make
the cat in the hat
kind of scary
and I'm like...
He did well actually
yeah
and he dropped out
because he was doing
the Santa Claus 2
Myers signed on
but then
Oh Tim Allen said he wanted to make it scary
Yes
Tim Allen wanted to make it scary
He didn't succeed then
Mike Myers succeeded
succeeded where he failed
but then he wanted out
but then like it was too far along
so they'd like sue him to do this movie
and he just hated every fucking second of it
obviously
I mean
something about that is like
you gotta figure something out
because you can't just make a movie
where this person who's in every fucking scene
more or less
is being forced like with a gun to his head
to do the cat in the hat
like with the Grinch
like you can tell Jim Carrey is just like
Goose stepping through that whole movie
and he fucking is having the time of his life
Jim Carrying all over the place
sure and this is like not that
like yeah he's clearly
just ready to snap at any second.
He's just, he's uncomfortable the entire time.
You can tell he's just like,
is it over yet or what?
Oh, yeah.
Call cut.
Seats done.
Oh, yeah.
I think the, oh, yeah.
Like, if you go back and watch this,
which I will not do.
I think it's,
I think it's a thing that we're probably every time
he says, oh, yeah, it's like sarcastic.
And like, it's his way to get his energy up,
like inside, just like, all right,
just fucking do it.
do it my oh yeah oh yeah spencer beefed the line again oh yeah another 12 hours on set
oh yeah then we're just crying uh so whatever um yes he starts to
cupcake infomercial cupcake infomercial we're just doing a sketch
the cup takinator yeah the cup canainator thing and he's putting hot dogs in there
which i was like hot dog like hot dog cupcake maybe
higher extinguisher well that's where it gets a lot that's where the
flavor comes from it's like liquid smoke yeah but it's just it's stupid because like yes he's
doing like a scottish english host of the thing yeah but then he's also doing a weird like he looks
like fucking geoffrey dumber it's like the cat the hat but there's a blonde wig on and he's
got boxy like glasses from the americans he's got like a cosby sweater on yeah and he's got a passport
with that guy's photo in it absolutely you know what i thought i thought about stewart oh yes it's
Yeah, Al Franken Stewart character.
It kind of looks like that also, yeah.
And the two of them are talking while the third cat in the hat is in the audience, quote unquote, with the two kids.
And these kids, you can just see their souls being shattered.
They have no idea what's going on.
What am I talking?
How is this fun for me a kid?
And this is where, like, the English-ish cat in the hat is, like, threatening this other guy.
And there's a lot of, like, what if I killed you jokes?
And I just, I'm flashing back to, like, 2000.
like if you're a parent
in this auditorium with your kids
like oh I've made a huge mistake
like how many refunds were issued
that's so early I mean that's like
probably around the fucking erection joke
as soon as he jumps out
up against his leg people did like
boner jokes parents and kids
are like 2003
they loved it
nobody loves a classic
boner joke more than this guy
speaking right now
but not placing it in the fucking cat
the hat movie come on
no place for
boners in the Seuss world.
And if you're going to do a furies movie, do a furries movie.
Sure, I'll watch it.
You can talk about furry boners till the fucking cows come home.
An update of Meet the Feebles.
Let's do it.
Come home, man.
So the cow furries show up and they start coming.
That's exactly right.
But it's just, it's the whole thing is uncomfortable.
Yes.
Like you're just like threatening.
It's like, you know, I'm going to, what the fuck does he say?
It's like, I'm going to hurt, hurt, bury you in the desert or something like that.
Cool.
Now I'm just thinking about casino.
I'd rather watch casino
five times in a row than watch
It's a better children's film
Sean Hayes is a fish
As well
He's doing the voice
And why make that decision
Right there are movies
Like Wizard of Oz
Right all the fucking characters
Are actually people
She knows in real life
And that's like the thing
Why is the fucking
Mom's boss
Also the voice of this fish
Maybe somebody backed out
Okay Sean well we got you
On a schedule man
Sean Hayes is like
Stepping
into his fucking car and it's like
Sean, we just need you to come back
just run some lines for the ADR real quick
I don't remember saying any of this
Oh can you do it as a different
character just for fun
We got a lot of shit parts
like this
We're going to have them for a lot of other movies
And we could ask you any time
There is
It's not a legitimate laugh
But it's almost a legitimate smirk
That I got out of this movie
Don't you dare
A muscle in your face
almost twitched.
Yeah, so what upward is when
the fish starts saying, no, no, don't do anything.
And like, oh my gosh, the fish can talk.
And Mike Myers goes to him, he's like,
yes, the fish is talking, but is he saying anything?
And I was like, ah.
No, you were wrong.
I appreciated the timing of the joke.
I was like, you were wrong to smirk at that.
I hear what you're saying, Steve,
but I looked the other way on that line.
Okay, that's fine.
Yeah, I'm going to vote against that.
Yes, but did we talk about in...
The joke has been stricken from the record.
the Cupcakeinator sequence, he cuts off
his own tail. Yes. Oh, right.
And then he does, he screams
son of a bitch. But
it's censored, kind
of. Yeah. Yeah, how do they do it though?
I thought that was going to be a thing. I thought
that was right up your alley. Is it a bleep noise?
Is it an awuga? It's a bleep.
It's just like a, br-oh, like
we're on television. You can't
say that on television.
But he's just screaming, son of a bitch
in front of a bunch of children. And presumably
in the room, I mean,
the fake TV of our imaginations bleeps it
but in the room he's actually screaming
right he's just shown up to this kid's house
cursed up a fucking blue shirt yeah and he's mutilating
himself he's like hey kids watch me cut off pieces of my body
that's a very specific fetish
now I'm gonna eat it
oh yeah and exposing his sexual desires
to them fucking stealing a picture of his mother
for his jerking off later
and showing his ass to them
yeah and sniping the tip of his tail there
also probably a part of the fetish
I think it definitely is
this guy's no good
so he takes the cupcakeinator
and it's like this whole thing
where you think
like this thing is gonna make these cupcakes
and he takes this appliance
and he's like
now we put the whole thing
in the oven
and it like explodes or whatever
and this is around the time
I wrote a note that just says
this can't be real
I thought I was getting punked
by Amazon
and I was watching a fucking fake movie
and you guys were gonna get him out
and be like gotcha
we fucking teamed up
with Jeff Base
also put this fake movie on.
We did. We also used time travel.
Perfect. So this
is where, I mean,
I don't even know how to describe it,
but they bring in from the book,
thing one and thing two.
Oh, Jesus. Jesus.
And if these two, like, gymnasts,
I don't know what you know what women are.
One of them is also known as chocolate thunder.
And we just mentioned that.
There's several chocolate thunder.
So, so much more unsettling than Kronenberg.
dead ringers
as far as twins who do things
or De Palma's sisters
either one take them
this one is disgusting
the prosthetic faces
why I know
I know
Brazil
yes this is the brood man
we're in a brood central
I feel like you go on the side of the house
is a big woman with like fucking these things
coming out of her
just popping off her sides
it's her fucking anger is popping off her body
Hit all the boxes.
But yeah, they are fucking repulsive.
And they like, they don't speak English.
They just like kind of mumbling shit
and Oliver Reed's fucking screaming after them.
You're gonna kill Oliver Reed.
He was already had to be a computer
in Gladiator at that point.
They did, what they do the cupcake thing first
is that they mess up the house is purple gag
all over the place, which is just to see.
disgusting, and they're like, how are we going to clean this?
Let me get my friends, thing one and thing two.
This is, it just, it chills me.
The cat in the hat actually, like, once you get used to his horrific visage, you're like,
okay, I can watch this movie.
I can never look at these things for more than 30 seconds.
You're totally right.
You're totally right, Steve, but let me just counter your cat and the hat thing because
I thought the same thing.
I was like, all right, my brain has tuned in to what this cat in the hat looks like
in this movie, and you accept it, much like the Grinch, right?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
But there is a moment in this movie where much.
Mike Myers, like, I don't remember what it is or what the circumstances are,
but he sticks his tongue out of his mouth.
And you just, at that moment, at least I did.
I realized that I was like, oh, fuck, that's a human's mouth.
And, like, I was back to stage one immediately.
I was so disgusted by this.
I kind of remember, like, yeah, well, you see, like, the inner workings of his weird human mouth
inside this, like, cooling system?
And this is why I will not be able to watch that new cat's movie.
It is why I could not go see cats on Broadway.
You're telling me it's an animal,
but it has a human mouth and I'm throwing up.
It's barf from fucking spaceballs.
That's what it is, and it's disgusting.
The fucking kangaroos and tangoos and tang girls,
they have human mouths.
Barf in this movie would be so much better.
Just make it barf in a hat.
Too bad candy had passed away.
Dude, imagine he could cameo his barfew.
Well, actually, in my big red interdimensional box,
I can bring people back from the dead.
That's right, I'm a necrime.
Here he comes, John Kinty.
Just like Dr. Seuss wrote.
Yes, exactly.
A new scum on their fucking bag.
Oh, yeah.
Here comes Richard Harris.
It would be awesome, actually, if in this movie,
the cat in the hat is like,
oh my God, we need to enlist some help.
Let's see if one of my friends are around.
And he opens a door, and it's Jim Carrey as the
Grinch, but it's just that gag from
that X-Men first class, and it's
just the Grinch goes, fuck off.
And they close the door. Yeah, you do
get one fuck. So instead
they get Cinnabites. They get
like pinhead in the boys.
Because I feel like they're involved
in this world. We are this close to a
Hellraiser movie. Well, he does have a box that is
an interdimensional
box. That's a puzzle box.
Trans-dimension. I just wrote
trans-dimensional something-something.
Exactly. So these nightmares
are running around the house. Voiced by
Dan Castanella, by the way.
What? Really? Yeah. Yeah, dude.
Just smear on his... You can anyone
to do this. What? Why? How do you
get Dan Castanella to get out of bed?
That's all
it is. I guarantee you he didn't get
paid for it. Because money doesn't matter
to those people. Of course, he's Simpsons rich, man.
Exactly. Like, they live in a world. There's like Jim
Carey talks about in that documentary when he realized
like money wasn't a thing he ever had to worry about.
Maybe it was just he was
the one who had to strangle the angry
muskrat. Oh,
Muscat Wrangler, Dan Castellaneta?
Because that's what they sound like.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We didn't point it out, by the way, but the dog
who's a featured character
in this movie is voiced by Frank Welker.
Of course. So, dude, you're getting
Welkered from the jump in this movie, by
the way. Much more graceful performance.
Oh, absolutely. No one growls
like Frank Welker. It's nuanced, you know?
I can understand the dog's motivation.
They want to think two are really
overacting. It was. It was just
over the top. The dog
motivation is please don't kill me on this set
I don't want to die on a Dr. Seuss movie
there is that weird fucking like
hereditary dollhouse
shot of the house
when they're fucking running around
dude that'll be awesome if there's a scene
they're driving down the road spoilers for hereditary
with this joke they're driving down the road
and like Spencer Breslin's like driving the car
and Dakota Fanning's in the front seat
and they're like oh my god we gotta slow down
and the cat and the hat's got his head out the window
it's like this is great what a great time
driving around
infill, and then he just gets his head smacked into a fucking pole and it gets decapitated.
That sounds right.
I would watch that.
That, I would watch.
So the cat and hats are fucking around.
I mean, they're messing everything up.
They're like, oh my God, every time we try to make this cleaner, it gets messier.
And they get, Spencer Breslin goes into the closet and takes out two butterfly nets.
I'm like, the fuck's going on.
I don't know what hobbies they have on the weekends with those fucking things.
I think Alex Baldwin shows up again.
And by the way, his outfit, he looks like he's about to get rubbed out by prune face.
Like, this purple suit that he is walking around in.
Yeah, he should be retired to Florida with this fucking thing.
This is much better than the clothing he wears later, which is like a yellow pants and a yellow polo shirt.
Snap pants.
Oh, yeah, that's like, they're snap pants?
Yeah, like you could, they're all snapped down on the side.
You rip them off.
That is very funny.
You have a pair of those at home.
Oh, you're going to make my hat go big for a second.
A lot of the Sopranos supporting characters, they were big on these.
Called those free-balling pants.
Pants, you freeball in.
Comfort first.
Interesting.
Yeah.
So then you can just like just take off your pants.
Whatever you want.
Comfort first.
Hype them right on.
So people just do that?
Yeah.
You go to your office and you're just like, you know what?
Pants, I don't think so.
Not today.
It's kind of like you're wearing them like around the house, right?
And you order a pizza.
Okay.
The pizza gets delicious.
You received the pizza at the door.
You only have the humility of wearing pants
just to answer the door.
But then it's like, oh my God, thank God
this pizza is finally here, swoosh,
and you rip the pants off.
Do you have these?
I used to have a pair of Adidas snap pants.
I don't have them anymore.
But there are very few things in this life
more thrilling than ripping off a pair of pants like that.
And if you are blessed enough to have an office
with a door that closes and locks,
I wouldn't know that pleasure.
Nobody knows that pleasure anymore, I guess.
but if you were to have that,
you would want the snap pants
because then you just get to
fucking hang out in your boxers
and play on your computer all day.
Yep.
Which is what work in.
Can you tell someone hasn't worked in an office
in quite some time?
Working in an office,
it's like you close the door
and you jerk off, right?
Oh man, I wish.
Your lips to God's ears, dude.
God makes it possible.
Imagine if that happened.
Thank you, Jesus.
letting me jerk off at work.
You wake up tomorrow.
Everyone has snap pants
that have stains on it
and everyone's just doing it.
I'm just saying
you see a person
in the snap pants out in public.
You got to question
what's going on there.
Exactly.
Because you just need
one rowdy teen
and you are humiliated
on the street.
I mean,
I think call the police
if someone needs to pull
their pants off that fast,
they're definitely
committing sex crimes.
I see those,
sex crimes.
But the worst part about them
was actually like
buttoning them all back up.
Yeah, that's the
You regretted ripping them off
the second you were buttoning two
legs of pants up again. It's like button
fly jeans times a million.
No thanks with the button fly jeans. Oh, I like
them. I don't have time. I like them, yeah.
I don't need to solve a puzzle when I got
to take a piss. It's impossible
to X, Y, Z yourself.
That's true. I mean, I guess that's true.
So the cat in the hat specifies
by the way, he's like, you got to
keep the box close because there's
a leak. And I was like, I wish it was a fucking
gas leak. But like,
The magic.
He mentions, like, this box is the doorway between their world and his.
And this is, it's already overthought, but you are overthinking it.
This is the hellraiser shit.
Yes.
Yeah, totally.
A tick fucking bounces off his body and is the lock for the fucking.
Dude, that's bizarre too.
That was a tick.
I'm making a joke.
I thought it was like a crab or something.
I saw.
But it's a sentient thing that turns into a metal lock.
Right.
What world are we talking about here?
Beauty and the Beast of her?
It's like, no, I think it's more
that, you know that Game of Thrones
place? Nope. Yes. The House of
the Seven, whatever, where all the magic people
live. Right.
I think, oh, fuck, are you stumping him?
The House of the Seven
where the Magic people live?
Come on, Eric, what kind of fan are you?
It's the desert.
And it's like where
it's like season two-ish.
Oh, we're going to be here a while.
Where Danny goes to that place
and the house of the black and white,
which, no, no.
The place is the face.
Is that?
No, not the faces, but it's...
That's the house in the black and white.
Yeah.
The seven is the Westeros
like standard basic bitch religion.
You're talking about...
No, seven was the kid unmarried with children.
No, I'm thinking here.
You're talking about that quarth.
Yes.
Yeah, where they go and there's all those weird,
creepy magic people.
She goes out in that house
and everybody isn't what they seem to be.
Correct.
The house of the undying.
The house of the undying.
I feel like in a corner of the house of the undying,
you open a door
and it's fucking the cat
and the hat
that's what I'm saying
And then it gets decapitated
after committing incest
I was slow to the pickup
I read like 17 fantasy novels
since I read Game of Thrones
It's fair
I've got a lot kicking around
up here
Wow
A lot kicking up here
That's a lot of swords
Oh man I would love it
If the cat in the hat
It's just dancing
and fucking around
And he's like oh my God
I can never die
And then the fucking
Night King
throws a javelin
An ice javelin
Right through his heart
Oh my God
just like the prophecy, right?
And then he becomes the ice cat in the hat.
He freezes over and now suddenly the cat in the hat's on the side of the undead.
Oh, yeah.
The white walkers.
That crate's open all the time.
Exactly.
Oh, I'm going to break down the fucking wall with my ice magic now.
Oh, yeah.
Infinite things.
Oh, yeah.
Eat shit, night's watch.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, man.
Just like, yeah, fucking hundreds of those little fucking things, but with blue eyes.
Oh yeah, it's doomed
Come on, Hodor, you got this
Oh, yeah
I can help Hodor keep this door open
Oh yeah
Fucking echoing off
Fucking miles away
You just hear that
Echoing because there's so many of them
Oh my God
I would so much rather die
By a white walker's hand
Than see thing one or thing two in real life
If I went home right now
I'll tell you one of those has dignity
That's very true
But like can you
I bet you if anybody, and I know people did, because this was one of those, like, I haven't seen this movie.
I'm going to buy it on DVD.
I heard it's stupid, though.
There's a fucking feature somewhere where we're just behind the scenes.
And it's probably those two actresses.
I think they were both played by women who are just in that makeup talking to the camera.
And it's unsettling as all get out.
I guarantee it.
I can't handle it.
I can't handle that level of face pain.
I'm sorry.
So we learned that Alec Baldwin around here, this is where we learned he's a loser.
he's really because basically he's trying to marry this woman because she's a successful realtor
and we find out he is unemployed his television gets repossessed he's wearing a girdle like he's not
the man who he says he is kind of a thing um around here he comes into the house he sees them all
fucking around the cat in the hat like spooks him out of the house but the dog runs out yes
that's that's kind of like if this had a plot and a movement this is the next movement right
we got to get the dog so alec Baldwin is like oh perfect I'll go get this dog bring it back to
Kelly Preston. I'll be the hero and she'll want to get married and my financial woes are over.
And I'll send that kid to military school. It's a very Bill and Ted vibe going on here.
Absolutely. And then I'll take over Gotham.
But at least fucking, you know, Ted's dad had the authority to send Ted to fucking military school.
That's true. This guy, while maybe being the boyfriend legally, he's just the fucking neighbor.
He's like, oh yeah, I'll get that dog and then I'll get on a sitcom for 10 years. I'll
fucking I'll rule that for a long time
and then maybe, just maybe, I can have
a mediocre
Donald Trump impression that I could
fucking milk for years. And years
and years and years and years.
Yeah, that's right. We are sending
everyone in the country to
military school. You're going
to military school. Folks, military
school is back.
Every school is going to be military
school. Guns
everywhere. Don't
worry, everybody. Our border
is secure. As we speak,
the cat in the hat is on his way
to the southern border, and he's just
going to freak everybody out till the caravan
goes away. The hoovians,
they're going to go.
They're going to be out of here. I'm sorry.
They just got to go. These hoovians have
leprosy. These hoovians have
leprosy. They're from another
dimension, everybody. They're bringing thing
one. They're bringing thing two.
They're thing too positive.
You've got to get them out of here.
Do we trust this Grinchman?
Do we trust him?
No, no, we don't.
No, we don't.
No.
The Grinch is funding the Democratic election.
Send the Grinch a bomb.
And by what I mean by that, I mean Coach Carter, which was quite successful.
Oh, yeah, good one.
That's a good one joke.
Hey, good one, Prez.
Oh, I want to die every day.
It's the cool how we're not complicit in anything.
Talk to you later.
Yack-K-K-K-K-K.
Hey, cool.
I'm terrorist by proxy
If I didn't do this
I wouldn't survive
By the way
Here's some fucking
Barbecue chicken
Flavored fucking pizza snaps
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
You'd get a big cat burp
From that
Oh big boy
So like they're driving around
Blah blah blah
The cat in the hat's like, who wants to take my super automatic car?
Dude.
And he brings out this big Humvee because it's 2003.
Hummer.
Hummer.
That shit was what we wanted in 2003.
It's like, oh, the widest car that nobody could ever touch.
That's right, dude.
Fucking Operation Getter done was a total success.
We won the war in Iraq.
And now you get home and you fucking get your ass a Hummer, God damn it.
I think we also hopped over the joke for the worst person in the audience.
The dirty ho joke.
Oh, no, that's right around here.
No, we're getting to it.
Don't worry.
We will slide right into that joke, Chris Cavan.
So he takes, the Hummer thing is actually like a mirage.
It takes it off.
It's a big suzy rocket car.
It looks like the fucking car that Homer Simpson designs.
Oh, and they find a way to say shit.
Oh, right.
Wait, what happened?
Remember, so they say like, well, this one with a S-L-O-W.
Oh, right.
Oh, God.
It was the original.
originally S-H-I-D.
The anagram jokes
or the acronym jokes in this movie.
Just like Dr. Seuss wanted.
Yeah.
All this books were full of
shit to children. Dude, this man
is spinning around in his grave
faster than a fucking washing machine
in the goddamn spin cycle. Apparently the widow
Sue saw this and she like flew
off her rock. Did her skeleton jump
out of her body and run down the street?
Yes. Wishmaster style.
But then apparently
that's why there hasn't been sequels or anything
there has never been another live action
Seuss movie after these two.
That is the thing.
Like they learned with Horton,
here's a who.
This Grinch thing is coming out.
Keep it to the fucking computer, man.
Yep.
Danny DeVito is the Lorax
that you win me over.
Very quickly with that.
Exactly.
Oh, yeah.
So they're in this neighborhood.
They're hunting around for the dog.
And this is a weird, like,
they're going to jump over this fence
into somebody's yard.
And the two kids like push the cat
over the fence and he
does he do a sideshow Bob
like does he step on it or something?
I think he just picks it up
and he stops the movie dead
he picks it up and he goes
you're a dirty hoe
he goes and I'll wait for the laughter
like he's just he's fucking
grinning at the camera
just like I have to it's like on
when you go see theater
and like if you're seeing like a comedy
and there's like a joke that really plays
and the audience is like clapping
and like the actors on the stage
know that they need to like wait
beat before they say the next line because nobody's going to hear it over the uproarious
laughter.
Yeah.
That's what he does after this ho joke.
He's like, it's the dirty ho.
Oh, wait.
But then he does like some like, I still love you, baby.
It's like some weird like pimp joke afterwards.
Yeah.
Yeah, I needed that.
That's what you call a classic Mike Myers four-sided joke.
The biggest asshole in your theater right there.
Oh, I get it.
Oh, hey, Cooney's making a hoaxie.
jokes. And then hopefully he heals over and dies.
I hope we all die and die soon.
So this is where Sally realizes, and this is not set up anywhere before, I don't think,
that she has a friend named Denise who did not invite her to this birthday party.
There's sort of something where on our way out, Kelly Press is like, oh, why don't you talk to Denise or your other friend or your other friend?
All of these things, Sally is like, oh, I told her to do this, she didn't like me, I told her to do that, she didn't like me, that kind of a thing.
You're right. You're right.
But this is my favorite part of the movie
Because for a quick second, I thought my troubles were over
Because they're like, let's bring out the pinata
And the kids look, and the pinata's like on the ground next to them
And they're like, what, what, what? And they look up
And Mike Myers is hanging from a tree. And I was like, oh sweet, the cat killed him
Dominic.
It is.
You see all these fucking these, by the way, did you notice on the, it's the IMDB, so it doesn't
matter.
World's greatest sorts for entertainment news.
The news.
It was like, Martin Scorsese, Joe Dante, and someone else were considered to direct this movie.
Considered.
Considered.
With the air quotes.
That just means like, you know, be cool if we got Scorsesee to direct this.
Well, moving on at this lunch meeting we're having at Subway.
Joe Jonti would be good.
If you just count whatever the asshole in the room yelled out in the first pitch meeting.
Yeah, get Morris Scorsese for this.
Who fuck cares?
Putting this movie together, I feel is a lot like that Key and Peel sketch about Gremlins, too.
I think it's exactly that.
But it just took place at a subway.
Not only are you in the movie, but you're in the movie.
So the cat is getting fucking beat with these bats.
I don't know why he chooses to play as the pinata.
But he's being abused.
And then this one little kid who's played, he's, oh, it's, oh, it's, oh, it's, oh, you're right.
Oh, I love kids beating me in the face with a bat.
Beat me.
Oh, yeah.
His hat is fucking hard as a rock.
No, but then this little kid who's played like a little weiner and other things.
Sure, he's a little stinker.
I don't know.
Was he, I don't know.
He's been on a bunch of stuff.
This is not the disgusting shit boy.
This is a different one.
No, he looks like.
You're cool.
He's the fancy shit boy.
You know, it's fine.
The kid's like fucking, I don't know, he's a military age by now.
Oh, definitely.
It's more of a goonter type.
But this kid, he gets the fucking money shot, dude, because he runs up and hits this cat the fucking dick with this baseball bat.
Oh, yeah.
My hat's now a full A. Blinken.
Oh, yeah.
My hat turned purple.
Oh, God.
my hat erupted.
Oh, my God.
All right, kids, we're just going to watch Netflix
for the rest of the time.
I was done.
The cat's bent.
Maybe an hour, kids.
Maybe in an hour.
Let's order dominoes and just relax for a bit.
Anybody got cigarettes?
Oh, yeah.
This kid is Stephen Anthony Lawrence,
and he was also in show.
like cheaper by the dozen,
the Will Ferrell kicking and screaming,
bubble boy. You got a date of birth on this kid?
1990.
Oh, yeah. He's definitely legal.
Yeah, well,
to make fun of.
I'll make fun of.
Oh, yeah.
Guys, get your head out of the gutter.
Geez.
Key trafficking. Oh, yeah.
He's 28 now. He's 28.
He's 28. He's 28.
Good for him.
So, moving on,
they find the dog or whatever.
But Alec Baldwin gets the dog
This is when Mike Myers
needs to do a stoner joke
That's one way to call this
Yes
It's just like him
He's got like dreads
And he's like got like
And he's like oh you know
Who wants to save the
It's like a fake charity or something
Because it's fucking 2003
George Bush is in power
And charity is hilarious
It's a thing where he's
So they're like listen
We need to distract Alec Baldwin
Baldwin long enough that we can get him to like give up the dog or whatever.
We'll like run away with the dog.
So this is what he's, he's, it's supposed to be like a white guy with dreads, like college
activist guy.
Sure, sure.
Getting petitions to save the whatever animal.
It's like some fake thing.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
And he says something about like, oh, blah, blah, blah.
And that's your dog there.
Uh-huh.
And the dog is like, keep me out of it.
Oh, that's right.
Oh, God.
And he turns to the.
the camera and he goes, oh
sorry, I meant canine
American. What the fuck are you
talking about? That's not a joke.
It's not even remotely close to being
funny. Andrew, I don't know if you're aware of this,
but PC culture has gone mad.
It has gone.
It is gone mad.
I heard some rumblings, but I did
not want to admit it. Can't you believe
you can't even say dog anymore
and gosh turned America?
As Ted Nugent would say,
Stranglehold.
on us. We're bringing it back, folks. We're bringing dog back. Rosie O'Donnell looks like a dog. See, dog is back.
Rosie looks like a canine American. There, see, I could tone it down for a little bit. I'll play nice. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you.
I'm sorry, you're supposed to be signing this immigration order. There's a thing around here that I don't quite understand. There's a
secret entrance to a nightclub
that you get to through a port-a-potty?
Dude, the flying fuck is this nonsense.
I don't know.
I don't remember. Walk through a shitter
to get into this nightclub. Yes. It makes
sense because Paris Hilton's inside.
Well, I think the only thing that this was was
on the whiteboard of like things
we should include because it's the cat
and the hat movie. It's like, I don't know,
that hat is pretty big in rave
culture. Like, you know what I mean? Like, that's
kind of it. The only other thing I thought
was like, Austin Powers does
a lot of dancing under lights like
that. In his movies, maybe
it's a callback to that.
Got to dance.
But he's also, he wants to fuck
Paris Hilton, too. Yes, absolutely.
Absolutely does. His hat goes
up again. So she exists
in the Dr. Seuss.
The Cat and the Hat of Earth. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Very interesting. She's in this movie because
it is to date it precisely
a movie shot in 2002,
released in 2003. Yes.
The world at large,
still gave his shit about Parasil.
Yeah, it was, what, this House of Wax?
House of Wax, it's very cathartic to watch
Dujia gets a fucking pole through the head.
And the Hottie and the Nottie.
Hottie and the Nottie was a little bit later.
That was like a really, that's who you got for this movie?
That was a last, that was like a last ditch effort.
Absolutely.
I think she's being romanced by Jason Mews in a film.
Oh, yes, that sounds recently?
No, of the time.
So, wait, wait, wait, pull in the head, what was,
What movie was that?
The House of Wax remake.
Oh, oh, okay.
I thought you meant her sex tape, folks.
Oh, oh, yeah.
Gotcha, 2003.
Oh, I did, I should say,
I did appearance on fear baiting
about that movie.
Oh, Housel Wax, yeah.
And that will be up at some point.
Right, that is a podcast,
not you masturbating at fears.
No.
No, no, no, no.
It's Chris Gavin just watching the movie
Fear and jerking off.
Here it is.
It is a movie called Bottoms Up.
Oh, God.
What year?
What year, dude?
Sounds like a real fanny comedy.
2006, it's 89 minutes long.
Nice.
Longer than this.
It's got Jason Mews as the lead.
Paris Hilton.
Is he playing Snooch Master General?
No, I believe.
He's Owen something or other.
Oh, nice.
Owen McNasty?
Oh, you'd better
You'd better believe
Kevin Smith is in it playing rusty number two.
Oh, wow.
I bet there's, yeah, there's probably a joke in there.
And Kevin Smith is rusty trombone.
So they're like dancing around.
There is a dance number here, kind of.
He loses his hat.
Sure.
And he claims he picked up a different hat at the rave,
and now he's powerless.
But by the way, I mean, if we're trying to teach kids,
anything.
Uh-huh.
If you drop something at a rave, just move on.
You lost the hat entirely.
You don't put on somebody else's hat.
No way.
You put a drink down, that drink is gone.
You do that.
You pick that up.
Guess what?
You also picked up like a pound of Molly.
Exactly.
Listen, man, you're fucking,
you're doing like a sick routine, man,
and then you fucking drop your devil sticks, dude.
That's it.
You need to go to the bathroom.
Oh, shit.
And now they want their Molly back.
Oh, yeah.
And you've got a fucking target on your back.
Yeah. Rusty number two's coming after you.
Then the Scarface.
bathroom scene happens and where are you
that? Where are you there? You're going to get a fucking
pole through your head. You go to the bathroom
you have to do it standing up no matter
what number is coming out. It's just got to be, you're
not sitting down. No, not even a hover.
You've got to be fully standing. I wouldn't
take your hat off. How about that?
I would keep it on the whole time. Keep it on when you're doing
a rusty number two standing up.
Just yell at people who
come in. I'm a little rusty at doing
a number two standing up
personally. So they leave
the night club.
they have the dog
they're like oh my god
and now we're kind of
doing the Ferris Bueller thing
we're like
Alec Baldwin
oh
do we mention that
Mrs. Kwan
is laid on top of this box
to stop the parallel
universe from coming in
oh right
you do want to dehumanize
any minority
in your movie as much as possible
he calls her an inanimate object
yeah he does
they ride this woman later
a raft
she's a raft
she's in a fucking boat
dude they go down
means of conveyance i'm sorry the only minority in the film is a means of conveyance i can't even
believe it dude they fucking put her down like a plank of wood because it's a log flume yes and they
are just splish splooshing down this thing right and i think this lady's fucking laying face down
by the way but so long she's dead long story sure they come back to the house so like oh my god
the box is open and the house is now a weird nightmare world like we've we have entered like
the pinhead is coming through the bricks at this
point absolutely and oddly somewhere around here because this leads to one of the most disgusting
parts in the movie they come back alec baldwin's like chasing them and shit and he like falls oh yeah
he falls like the house looks fine it looks like totally clean and they're like what's going on
and alec baldwin's like i have you now children and he like steps back and he falls and it's just
like a breakaway living room and he falls down a pit into this other universe
universe. Yeah, man. And get ready for the fucking punchline for that coming up. So they're going through the Seuss world. I mean, like, you would think that this would be a, it's like what dreams may come kind of a situation. Absolutely. But it is a gooding junior and Max von Sado are a raft together. If it was made on Windows 98. But it's also, dude, it is most definitely a, we hope that if this movie is successful enough, they will add this log flume ride to the fucking Universal Studios. Well, they make a joke about that. They make a very explicit joke.
about that. Absolutely. He turns the camera
and he makes it, oh, Universe is coming
this fall, the universe, he holds up like a pass or something. I hate
those, you get it both ways jokes where it's like, oh, aren't we making a fun
of commercialism? By the way, you should buy this. Well, I think that's them they knew
a turd when they saw it and that was a late edition. Oh, yeah. It's just like,
well, if we're going to fucking put this out anyway, how about a fucking just
blatant goddamn advertisement? But now that I think about it though, was there any kind of
like Dr. Seuss World at Universal Studios
at all? I think there's something there. There's probably is.
Yeah, there is something there. I read that sort of
today. If they have the rights.
In my skimming. Anyways, so we're in this
magic. It kind of goes nowhere.
They have to get through this like shoots and ladders
obstacle course to close the box
is the idea. And they do.
And I'm sorry, the kids have to work
together to do it. Yes, there's some sort of
tornado, like the fabric of reality
is coming undone and
like Spencer Bruslin is holding
Conrad is holding Sally
and he's like I got to let you go
to close the box you have to trust me
all that shit
Well actually as the tornado scenes happening
Kevin Costner is chasing this dog
Right oh right
Spencer Breslin's about to get him
But like he waves Spencer Breslin off
That's right yeah
That's right
That's right
No disgusting shit boy
You have to become shit man
Can I get a big yelling
Like Spencer Borgman
Nah
Oh, he couldn't pull it off.
So they closed the box.
They closed the box.
And the house is still like semi-sentient
and it's like fluctuating.
What in the world is happening here?
Dude, and then we cut to outside this house.
It's like the fucking exhaust for like the dryer or something like that.
And it starts going like, oh,
and the house shits out Alec Baldwin.
And he's covered in this purple unicorn come.
And it's like, it's fucking disgusting.
It's a glaze.
It's sticky.
It's like, it's on his mouth.
And when he talks, it's, you can see it getting stuck.
It's in the hair.
It's in all the hair.
You know what I like about unicorns?
Is they're horny?
Yeah.
Oh, wait outside.
We'll be done in a minute.
I'll be taking a rusty number two.
Standing up.
So, whatever.
The cat in the hat's like, well, sorry, I can't help you.
And he leaves, like, oh, no, the cat in the head lie.
You know, he's a deceitful monster.
They discover that he's the prince of lies.
Right.
They get pissed off because he is revealed to have lied about being powerless.
Oh, right, right.
Is the whole thing.
And it's one of those, like, well, I had to do that so you'd learn to, like, learn your lesson and work together, whatever.
That's what it means.
Just listen to your fucking mother.
But he leaves for, like, it's your classic, like, end of second act.
Like, get out of here.
Go out of here, Harry.
Nobody wants yet.
him all. Exactly, but it turns
around immediately. Yes, he just comes right
back. He comes right back and it's like, all right
kids, now let's clean up this
house to a
smash mouth cover
of a Beatles song.
Dude, my asshole buttoned up for good
dude, that was like a closed black hole.
Was it a situation? Because this is after
Shrek is it's like a thing where it's like, well
if we got Mike, you got to get smash mouth.
Well, no, I think smash mouth. Peanut butter and jelly.
Smash mouth was walking on the sun at this time.
Like, every, smash mouth was everywhere.
2002, 2003, it was everywhere.
We were dropping it on Iraq and leaflets and shit.
Dropping casingles on Iraq.
Yes.
Hey, Dan, watch me, watch, watch we drop all these fucking, uh, uh, now that's what I call music
all the Iraqis.
Dude, that's like you drive the enemy insane is you just play.
Now that's what I call music volume smash mouth.
But yet, they are just, they are, it's, I want to, better all the time, whatever the tune is there.
I have to admit, it's getting better.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It's getting better since you've been my cat's so much better all the town.
Buffalo Wild Wings.
Clean up the Gack.
Clean up the Gack, the purple Gack.
It's just putting worms in my brain.
just hearing any smash mouth is just
it's awful
not a near worm mind you not a near one no just
just toxic parasites you just have worms
yes I have worms also
when the credits hit in like another
blissful 10 minutes after this part of the movie
sure it's another smash mouth song
you would double duty man
oh my god so yeah I mean like
Kelly Preston comes home the house is clean
the cat and the hat sneaks at the back
and she's like wow you guys did a great job
congratulations by the way
Spencer Breslin, I don't hate you, I guess.
We've all learned a little something today.
Then Al-Baldon comes in and he's got like this shit all over him and like he keeps touching his face.
It's like the trail, the slime trails between his head and the thing.
It's like how it's disgusting in like the beginning of Ghostbusters where Bill Murray is like trying to take the sample of the ectoplasm and he like gets it on his finger and he's like flicking the index card and shit.
It's too much.
But it's up in his mouth.
It's so gross.
and like this is this dude's it's kind of funny
I sort of had like a semi smirk right here
this dude's last ditch effort
covered in unicorn come
just looks at Kelly Preston
and proposes marriage
pretty funny
and she kicks him out
like that's the end of this dude
and honestly it's a thing
it's kind of a good part of this movie
where it's just like yay
a single mother can do it on her own
she doesn't need a man covered in unicorn come
yay
No, she needs a 250-pound cat man.
She can go and see Dr. Louis G. Ember, who could block out the sun with his humongous member.
Oh, well done.
Oh, God, that's...
Dr. Cabin.
Oh, my God, Dr. Cabin, keep your kids indoors.
So she has this party.
It's a huge success.
She tells Dakota Fanning that the cupcakes are going over really well.
And she's like, oh, these cupcakes are so popular at the party.
What did you put in them?
And I'm like, Unicorn Cup!
They're purple cupcakes.
Look out.
They ground up thing one and thing two.
You're eating people.
These cupcakes are made of people.
I was thinking more of Titus.
Not the Christopher Titus sitcom.
I see.
Oh, they're the Anthony Hopkins.
That's eating the people.
Yes, that makes a little more sense.
Damn, damn, purple cupcakes, damn.
Oh, damn.
Oh, look at that.
Yep, no, it's still a little dribbly.
Oh, you put hot dogs in that?
Oh, damn.
Oh, damn.
Think about this, though.
This entire conversation, I've been mulling over a sick hot dog
cupcake recipe and just hear me out.
It's wrong.
Cornbread cupcakes.
It's delicious.
Hot dog bits in them with maybe like some jalapeno and cheddar.
I could get into that.
not a cupcake. Why not?
Who says? You're doing cornbread
with shit in it. So what?
All right. Who cares?
Just letting you know what you're doing. It's shaped like a
cupcake. The fuck are you going to do about it.
What's the frosting? Cupcake needs frosting.
Let's see. Maybe you could get some
kind of like a like a
jalapeno jam on top
or something. It's been done.
It's not frosted. Like a butter.
Do you know what Eric? Just because I'm trying to be revolutionary
with cupcakes and get us out of the frosting
mode. You can't put fucking
jalapeno jam on cornbread
you fucking moron
dude the coffee shop around the corner
has cornbread with fucking halapino
and it's awesome hot dogs too
sounds like a real kitchen nightmare
let me ask you this
does it have any muffins with fire extinguishes
oh well though that's what the liquid
smoke is for okay so the movie ends
and like Mike Myers
looks at the camera it's like I'll see you next
time everybody
fucking better not he struts down the street
talking about how he needs a vacation
and he actually suggests to Thing One and Thing Two
that the three of them take a vacation together.
It's a weird like, what's next to my schedule?
Beat, beat, beat, beat.
I need a vacation.
Let's go away somewhere.
But Thing One and Thing Two would then resist
because they do the opposite of what you sell.
Oh, sure.
If they were to get lost on a Carnival Cruise.
Yeah, dude thrown over the side.
And then he gets whatever magic world, you know, compensation.
The magic world is the neurovirus.
He probably like gets their souls or something, right?
What's insane is this movie.
It's all about souls. The end game is always souls.
This movie has the audacity speaking and Tim Burton to kind of ape the end of Beetlejuice.
Because they're jumping on the couch and then they started just like floating.
Yes.
You know, and it's not outright calypso music or anything like that.
They were dead the whole time.
But it's just like a funnish tune is playing and they're like float jumping on this couch.
It's close enough to Beetlejuice where I'm filing a lawsuit.
I can't sit down and think about the end of Beetle juice for too long because you're like, so Winona Ryder's being raised by ghosts, but also the parents are also in the house and they're cool with it.
But it works because, listen, Charles Dietz and whatever her name is, Deets.
Lydia Dietz. No, no, no, the mother. Is it Lydia? No, Lydia is the girl. Delia. Delia and Charles Dietz never wanted a kid. Lydia is a total accident.
It's true.
But Gina Davis and Alec Baldwin did want a child.
Listen, Steve, everybody wins.
A quarter of the kids that are raised in the countryside are raised by ghosts.
Raised by ghost the Eric Siska biography.
It's not most of them, but they are around and sometimes they'll help out.
Dude, raised by a ghost, that sounds like a show.
That's like a fucking A&E show.
Like, I didn't know I was pregnant.
Oh, like that show, I didn't know I was pregnant.
Oh, that's what it is.
Was that really?
That's a real thing.
I didn't know I was pregnant.
I think I saw part of that.
It's a totally real show.
Pregnant with ghosts.
Oh, shit.
I birthed a ghost.
That's the father of our religion.
Jesus Christ was his mother was pregnant by a ghost.
All she was, the Virgin Mary, was just a containment unit.
You can't open that.
Oh, God.
This Romans, like, I'm from the EPA of Rome, and I'm opening that containment unit.
shutting down the power
You can't do that
You got no dick
Oh yeah
Well I'm biggest dickas
That is a sick drum breakdown
In that moment
Yeah
He just he struts away
Talking about
Needing a vacation
Much like The Terminator
Okay
It's a hard no
Right
It's a hard no
Absolutely not
Yes no way
If you show this thing
You kids by the way
It's child abuse
Exactly
Also, if you listen to this podcast in front of children, there's also child abuse, and we have no responsibility.
I do think that Mike Myers is funny in some stuff.
But this and the love guru killed his career.
But here's, so this is the question, though.
Like, can someone lose the ability to be funny?
Like, when was the last time he made you laugh in a new thing?
Yeah.
I mean, I think you would definitely lose it.
I think I lose it every other minute.
I was, I was chuckling at that Kanye video that he was in.
His reaction there was pretty priestly.
That was actually really funny.
And that was like 2005, I think.
I got a smirk from Himman and Inglorious Pasters.
Yes, yeah, it's a smirk.
I mean, I don't even remember.
He's in that movie.
He, like, briefs Michael Fospenter.
Yeah, he's, like, doing an overly posh.
English accent, right?
Okay, yeah.
I mean, like, I think you give him the right script.
Like, the problem is he'll never relinquish control.
He's made so much money.
He'll never do somebody else's script and just do it.
I really do think Shrek rotted his brain.
Yes.
I think that kind of did it.
The first Austin Powers was funny in the time it came out.
it was funny. I still think it's really funny.
I mean, I haven't seen him forever.
But, so I married an axe murder, I think, is good.
Yeah. And Wayne's World, number one, is good.
So you've got three movies, you're fine by him.
He's apparently in Bohemian Rhapsody and is, like, kind of unrecognizable or something.
Someone was saying.
You'd want to be unrecognizable.
Yeah. Does he play that fucking game show?
Yeah.
Oh, that's the con show thing, right?
What the fuck are we doing?
Is that still going?
It's still going on.
Are you shit?
I am not.
No, the IMDB says 2017 and done.
There's no fucking.
Oh, I saw something.
I mean, maybe it's back.
Sounds like you were shitting me.
Sounds like maybe...
I was shitting you, I'm sorry.
Give me a little rusty number two out on my face.
That's just a weird, like, he's playing a character hosting a game show.
Yeah.
Apparently, he's in that movie Terminal that came out as you that Mungo Robby's in,
which is supposed to be fucking abhorrent.
Really bad.
And then this means nothing, but it's like announced, according to IMDB, Austin Powers 4.
Jesus Christ, get it out of here.
If it's him again, you can't do it.
Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. It's been enough time.
Why, oh, shit. He went to the present in those, right?
Damn. It'd be funny to see him in a different time period.
Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, like, oh, yeah. Well, he's, yeah, like, frozen into the...
But then they do, like, they somehow go back in time because they got, like, Roblo for that second one.
Yeah, the third one. Yeah, he's in the 70s or...
Yeah, they hop around. You know what, never mind, pass.
Here's the question.
Yes.
Would you rather watch...
Oh, God.
Oh, I don't even know if I'm ready for this, but okay.
Or it queued up.
The Grinch or the cat in the hat?
The Grinch.
We've seen them both.
I would say the Grinch.
The Grinch is, just for reference, 25 minutes longer than this.
Yes, yes, yes.
This is shorter, but at what price?
Eric's totally right.
Because, like, the Grinch, I was like, I don't like this.
I don't think it's for children really.
Sure.
And, you know, it's just like not my thing.
This, I was like, it's not a movie.
it's not for fucking anybody
parents should be fined
$5,000 if they took a kid
$5,000 a kid
if you took them to see this movie in theaters
I like it
I just it's this is insufferable
like the Grinch is bad this is insufferable
I hate the Grinch
but I wouldn't feel bad about people
taking their kids to see it
yeah cat in the hat like
it's so close
it's so close it's right there
do we have any idea on the financials on this
I didn't look it up, but I can say, like, from the projections point of view, I remember
starting this movie to a lot of, like, quarter-filled auditoriums. I remember it got
really bad, bad reviews, like, pre-release. I think it did it well enough that I did it. They
were talking to the news, the widow, Stu said, no, they're always talking about a sequel. Speaking
of the sequels, there's a sequel to this episode coming out very soon. That's right. On how the Grinch
stole Christmas. Thank you. How the Grinch stole Christmas? Are you sure? There's no

Cluttons for punishment, dude.
Tubbs something.

Steve Sadeg, what are we talking about for next week's program topic?
We are talking about one of my favorite movie.
Really?
Is that right? No, not at all.
Of all times.
No, no. I'm just stalling because I haven't pulled it up.
It is Jetley's the one.
Dude, this is awesome. It's a movie where he throws a motorcycle at somebody with one hand.
This is going to be very exciting.
And it's welcome to the program back, Jet Lee, after lethal weapon.
And Jason Statham.
Oh, right. I forgot Statham.
With Delroy Lindo.
I'm excited for this.
Early Statham.
You know what, though?
I have a feeling this will be a thing where.
I remembered watching this in theaters and liking it.
And I don't know. I could be dead wrong. I haven't rewatched it since.
I'll love anything that doesn't have a fucking cat rhyming in it.
Fair enough, Steve Sanex. So until next week with Jet Lees the One, I'm Andrew Jupin.
Steven Saneck. Chris Fanderfluke.
Eric Siska. Take it easy.
That was a hate gum podcast.
