Hey, Katie.
Hi, Alan.
How are you?
Good.
I'm really good.
It's Kenny Fisher Day.
Kenny Fisher Day?
Yeah.
Every so often, one of my cousins and I declare it Kenny Fisher Day.
It's a random day every year, and we just say things that Kenny Fisher says to one another.
You don't put on giant pants and goggles.
No, I don't.
But I do say 92%.
What's the hose line?
I don't see no hose, Kenny.
Oh, what are we doing this week on Werewolf Ambulance?
Our podcast about horror movies we're doing. The 1998 teen romp can't hardly wait.
Yeah, we're finishing out the month of love.
Yeah. It's going to be fun, I think, probably. Alan's so mad already.
No way, dude.
He's steam coming from his ears.
Quick question. How did you watch this movie?
How did I watch it?
Yeah. Did you like rent it on Amazon?
I rented it on Amazon.
I watched it on Tubi.
Did you? So every five minutes there were three commercials
and they were all the same progressive commercial.
Why did you not just rent it?
Progressive and then FanDuel.
Oh God.
That guy's hair keeps blowing up and the hair dryer turns on
and he's like, I know.
And he's like, no, Philadelphia didn't spread.
I literally have no idea what you're saying.
FanDuel's a betting website.
No, not even. Why didn't you just rent it? and then spread and I literally have no idea what you're saying. Vendools are betting with.
Yeah. Why didn't you just rent it?
Cause I was like, ah, I'm not spending two 99 on this podcast that I love.
Ethan Embry's taken enough of my money. Thank you very much.
I don't know. You could throw Ethan Embry a couple bucks here and there.
I do like him. Yeah, me too.
I like that he's like a gruff guy now. Like he's like a dude's dude.
Because he started balding, so he shaved his head.
And then he got kind of buff.
And when I say starting balding, oh, he was balding in this movie.
Yeah, he was, which I think is kind of charming actually.
I really like him in this movie,
although you feel his acting is, tell me about it.
So his style of being earnest is to just put his eyebrows
somewhere near his hairline and go.
And stare, and stare, yeah, yeah.
But he's like so fucking charming.
I love Preston Myers.
And his character in Empire Records.
Empire Records.
Mark.
He's so good in that.
But he's so good.
He nails that dude.
Oh, no, that's the band.
She makes him the pin that says Mark sucks.
You know way more about that movie than I do.
I fucking love that movie, because I
am a teenager in the 1990s. And I didn't see that movie until like four years ago.
Yeah, it's a little lost on you.
No, I liked it.
I really, yeah, I really enjoyed it.
Same reason I like this movie
because I feel like it's a really good time capsule.
Yeah, it's so, it is absolutely 1998
wrapped up with a little bow on it.
Yeah, it's just like,
oh, how many lit songs can we cram into one movie?
The first of many Smash Mouths
is what I have here
in the opening credits.
Man, that band, huh?
That band.
I feel like they became just an internet joke,
which is kind of nice.
Sure.
And Guy Fieri's best friend.
Are they best friends with Guy Fieri?
The singer is.
Yeah.
Aren't they like kind of twinies?
They're like the same dude.
You know, I've heard that Guy Fieri is a pretty nice guy.
I have no doubt.
He like goes to, um, uh,
like disaster zones and makes food for people and doesn't like make a big deal
of it. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah. I think you might also be homophobic though,
so I'm not sure.
Yeah. I mean, I'm just like as a general rule, all over print flame, uh,
button down shirt. Probably avoid you. Probably avoid you. Gotta walk away.
Good luck. More than one chain wallet, probably not gonna hang out.
Good luck.
So, what is this movie?
This is a movie that takes place entirely inside a party
that is taking place after our graduation,
a high school graduation, everybody's there,
and there are different little storylines that we're following.
I think the main storyline is Preston Myers, who wants to declare his love to Amanda Beckett,
played by J. Lo Hew in very poor fashion.
Looking great, hard to listen to.
And you know, I love J. Lo Hugh.
Oh, no doubt.
You go back and listen to the, I know what you did last summer episode.
Which I think I finally admitted was not a great movie.
See I would say that the, I think the overarching story, not overarching, I think the biggest
storyline in this movie is Kenny Fisher and Denise Fleming.
I think they get the most on screen time. storyline in this movie is Kenny Fisher and Denise Fleming. Okay.
I think they get the most onscreen time.
That could be because they actually are interacting
instead of just this buildup to interacting.
That haircut is not doing any favors for Lauren Ambrose.
I love her though.
She's great.
She is great, but Denise is not.
Denise is hard to talk to.
But I think she,
now I'm realizing that her character,
did you watch Six Feet Under?
I've seen episodes here and there, but not.
Her character is kind of if Denise Flaming lived
in a funeral home.
Oh God, that sounds bleak.
And her boyfriend in that is the guy who throws
the pot brownie in her hair.
Oh really?
That's funny.
Who's been in, was he in the Paris Hilton house of wax?
I have no idea who that guy I had no, I did not recognize that guy from anything.
I only, I know him from six feet under and he's in a bunch of other like TV
shows. Yeah. Uh, but yeah, there,
there's actually a number of people that were in six feet under that were in this
movie. Oh, interesting. Like the one, uh, uh, I can't remember the dude's name.
He's part of the, he's part of Peter Faccinelli's gang.
Okay, there's a blonde guy, Hispanic guy, and black guy.
Hispanic guy is also in Six Feet Under.
They are like a boy band, the four of them.
Dark haired guy, blonde guy, black guy, Hispanic guy.
It's sad.
But it's also 1998, and that is the era of boy bands.
Sure, you got 98 degrees.
You've got... You know them, don't act like you don't.
You've got Backstreet Boys.
Yeah.
New kid's not around anymore?
No, they're gone.
They're gone.
They're new men now.
You've got Marcus Mark.
But I can't remember, oh yeah, I think she's just like a really good actress.
Oh yeah.
And I wish she was in more stuff.
I just think this role is exceptionally shitty.
And I agree that haircut, do a note.
She's so cute. She has a great face and they just make her look like a silly,
a silly person.
Silly Billy.
Silly Billy.
But what was that laugh?
That's the silly Billy laugh. Hey.
I feel like this is in a very 98 fashion. Nobody has good hair in this. What was that laugh? Hey, that's the silly Billy laugh. Hey.
I feel like this is in a very 98 fashion.
Nobody has good hair in this.
No.
No, not really.
Ah, J. Lo Hu.
It is so voluminous.
She's getting so much volume from the root.
Jamie Presley has those knots tied in her hair.
Like a-
Who's Jamie Presley?
Jamie Presley, it was like a 90s,
she was a 90s eight girl briefly.
She is the blonde woman who is one of the friends.
Oh Beth, yeah.
Yeah, with the broad skirt outfit.
Yeah, was she on like,
My Name is Earl or something like that?
Yeah, yeah.
She was on a lot of stuff around this time.
Yeah.
She's an it girl.
She was.
This movie also has,
just to get this out of the way,
oh God, what the fuck is her name? The girl who is just stoned,
just like looking at stuff throughout the movie,
she plays a character called Tara
in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
And she's great, I really like her.
There's a lot of like 90s names in this,
like Breckenmire and Donald Faison are in the band.
Clea Duvall and Summer Blair are both girls at the party.
Jerry O'Connell's in there.
You got a-
Jenna Elfman.
Jenna Elfman, yeah.
You got a fucking Melissa Joan Hart,
the original Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Melissa Joan Hart.
That woman is just unfathomable.
Yeah, got a lot of 90s. This is a big movie. People love this movie. Everyone loves this movie.
Amber Benson is the woman's name who I couldn't remember. That's Tara. I also like that like,
on Wikipedia it says uncredited appearances by Jenna Elfman, Jerry O'Connell, Breckenmeyer,
and Melissa Joan Hart.
They're all certainly in the credits, aren't they?
Yeah. They have those like, when they kicks in with
a I can't hardly wait at the end of the song,
and then they show all the school pictures,
they were definitely in those.
They had to be.
Yeah, fuck it.
I'm sure they weren't credited.
Okay, Breckenmire, I 100% thought
that was just his last name, Breckenmire.
What did you, you thought he just went by it?
I just thought they all look just like, Oh,
Breckenmeyer.
Brecken is a terrible first name to be fair.
He's adorable though.
I'm gonna put him in my pocket.
What else is he?
What would I know?
Clueless.
He's Travis Brickensstock.
Oh.
He was also in another movie we've done, The Craft.
Oh shit.
Another bunch of nineties people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. bunch of nineties people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Other party of five people. Yeah.
So, okay. So, uh, should we go through the different storylines?
Sure. Um, I have a feeling you're going to know them.
I've seen this movie probably more than most other movies in my, in the world.
Uh, okay. Number two for me two for me. So you loved it.
Loved it.
So Ethan Ambry wants to tell Jennifer Love Hewitt
that he loves her and thinks she's more
than just the prom queen because her boyfriend,
Mike Dexter has broken up with her,
played by Peter Facinelli, who Alan just informed me
was 25 years old in the filming of this movie, looks 40.
Older than the man who was supposed to be in college,
Terry O'Connell.
Yeah.
I remember as a teen thinking that Peter Faccinelli
wasn't that hot.
And now as an adult being like,
oh, Peter Faccinelli looks great.
And it's great.
You can watch this movie and think he's hot
and not be a grosso.
Yeah.
Cause he's 25.
And I'm 36.
That's not even that bad.
Like you're justifying, I'm not bad, I'm fine.
I can think dirty things about Peter Faccinelli if I want to.
Dirty things. Shut up.
He's older than me now.
A muddy Peter Faccinelli.
Okay, stop.
Or don't.
So, um, yeah, Mike Dexter has broken up with Amanda Beckett.
Preston Myers wants to tell her that he loves her,
whatever, he thinks it's fate.
The whole thing's about fate, right?
They're like soulmates that he saw her.
And all right, first problem, he saw her first,
so basically he called dibs,
and then he's mad because somebody else stole her.
But she's eating the Pop-Tart
to the tune of Smash Mouth for the second time.
Hey, no, you're a Pop-Tart.
Sorry, go on. Geez.
So another storyline here is that Mike Dexter is an asshole
and that there's a trio of nerds, basically,
who are going to do a very horrible
and homophobic thing to him.
Extremely. Extremely.
Extremely horrible.
It's like a lead nerd, William Lichter,
and he has two toady nerds.
One of whom is wearing a trust no one shirt
and the other is wearing a truth is out there,
which I like a lot.
In the credit they are known as X-Files 1 and X-Files 2, file spelled like a lot in the credit. They are known as X files one and X files to file spelled pH in a very
1998 way.
I love that. That warms me.
I 100% wanted them to make up at the end of this movie.
It would have been cute. Yeah. Yeah. They're like laying on the roof,
playing with a retainer. They could have totally Chris. So, okay. So I'm, I'm,
I'm 2020ing this and I'm looking back 1998.
It's like, Oh, so like watching monster squad and they're dropping F bombs.
Yeah. Um, and you're like, Oh, it's 86. Everybody said that. So 98,
this was like acceptable cultural to say drop F bombs and like set up like one
of the main storyline for us is
we're going to, I guess it kind of backfires, but not really.
But it doesn't like Mike loses his job at the car wash because of the photos.
Yeah. No, I think it was. I think this was socially, I think, I mean,
I think sadly, yeah, I think it was okay to be this homophobic.
It wasn't that long ago.
Oh yeah, for sure. For sure, sure, sure, sure.
Um, sorry, I totally got you off track, but uh, yeah. Well, I was going to tell you about the entire
movie. So also just in the beginning, do you think the impetus of this movie is
the lyrics to can't hardly wait by the replacements, which is a fucking perfect song. It's great.
I wish we could drop it in, but we can't.
But, so the opening lyric is,
I'll write you a letter tomorrow.
Yeah.
So do you think the person who wrote this was like,
letter, can't hardly wait, got a movie.
Yeah, cause the song otherwise,
it's very little on the movie.
Right, and it's in pure replacement style is unbelievable.
Like the opening stanza is, I'll write you a letter tomorrow. Tonight,
I can't hold a pen. Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow.
I promise not to blow the address again.
I love that. So stupid.
But it's like, Oh, I mean, if you know,
like I don't know how much you know about the replacements.
So they would like ruin their lives with drugs and alcohol.
So this is just like, Oh,
I'm so fucked up that I fucked your address up. Yeah. Yeah.
But it's like, Oh, ready to kill a teen romp. Yeah. Teen romp. But you know,
but the thing about that song is that it's poppy as hell too.
It's a very weird dichotomy. Yeah. Yeah.
Well that's one of the beautiful things about the replacements.
I love the replacements, but a lot of their songs make me laugh too.
Is that okay? Oh, for sure. For sure. I think they were laughing.
I think they, I think I'm laughing with them yet. Okay.
So then you've also got Kenny Fisher who is just trying to lose his virginity.
Can you give me a little bit of your thoughts on Kenny Fisher played by Seth
Green? I love Seth Green.
Just he's wonderful. He also has two toe days. He does.
They are what we would have called at the time, yo dogs.
Okay, I'm very glad that that went that way.
Yes, there is another word that I will not be saying,
but they're just white guys who listen to rap
and are wearing very large clothing
of appropriate to the time in hip hop.
And talking in the vernacular of hip hop. Yeah. And driving like a GMC,
giant GMC, which is actually hilarious. Cause he's so tiny.
And that had to be on purpose, right? That it would be fun. Oh yeah.
I bet he thought it was funny too, because I get that vibe from Seth Green.
Cause it's so great.
Also a cast member in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Oh cool.
Yeah.
Maybe I should watch that show.
Probably.
Someday.
It's got those early 2000 vibes
that I think you'll really be feeling.
Yeah.
I also just like Kenny's whole thing of like,
just openly admitting he has no idea what he's doing
where he's like, you know, 92% that whole thing.
And he's like, you don't know 20 different ways
to call me big pop-up because I don't.
Which I think is very charming.
Yeah, yeah.
Like that whole thing of like,
we've talked about it before,
of like dudes just ripping around
with a condom in their wallet.
Yeah.
Just like, you don't, God, everybody.
He's got a backpack full of condoms
and a pleasure of love scented candle.
And a pocket comma sutra that he's referencing.
I like when he tries to figure out if he should put the condom on before or
after he like takes his pants off.
Yo, should I put that condom on?
Nah, no, I'll wait.
That's not, that ain't going to work.
But then he has it.
He's like, again, he's like, maybe.
Yeah.
He's so stupid.
Oh yeah.
I love him.
He's like, again, he's like, maybe. Yeah.
He's so stupid.
Oh yeah, I love him.
And then there's a couple smaller subplots, like there's a band that breaks up before they ever play a note.
They already have t-shirts.
Yeah.
And what is the name of that band?
Love Burger.
Love Burger.
That's funny.
And they're all like, the guitar player's the ska guy.
Yeah.
The drummer's wearing a sleeveless
flannel and a cowboy hat.
Someone calls him Hootie.
The singer is wearing like shitty knockoff Prince outfit or Herman in the Herman's outfit.
And the bass player is like a dude, like a grunge dude.
Grunge dude, yeah. But like Breckenmire is in the microphone
while trying to say like, this is our first gig,
don't screw it up.
And it's just funny, I just like it.
Then there are like some other recurring characters
like the Swedish exchange student,
and which I think is just misplaced entirely.
Although there is the one great payoff line. Yeah, I guess.
That scene is so heartwarming and then it just turned so silly.
Is that it pretty much of the storylines?
And I guess Mike Dixter's friends are supposed to break up with their girlfriends too,
so they can have a summer of dudes, but they keep putting it off.
Did you know people who, when they were going off to college, broke off,
like would break up and be like, I'm going gonna get so much whatever when I get to college?
Not really.
Oh, I knew a few people who did that too.
Yeah.
I mean, on some level it makes sense.
You're going your separate ways.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it was just like that idea of like,
college is gonna be this utopia of fucking.
It was though, to be fair.
Granted, never went. Yeah. Didn't go myself. Just hung though, to be fair. Okay. Grant never went.
Yeah.
Didn't go myself.
Just hung out in the college. Probably could have fucked a little more.
Go for the fucking stay for the grades.
And, uh, oh, I guess a storyline like is also Jennifer love Hewitt discovering
that like being alone is okay.
Yeah. Right. And then, and also her cousin trying to make out with her.
So which one do you want to, should we just tackle each of the storylines or how they
interviewed? Oh, I don't know, because my notes, I have a ton of them.
And it's not going to, they're going to be of no help whatsoever, but they did remind me that Jason Seagull's on this movie too.
It was funny because I never knew about him until Freaks and Geeks.
So like seeing this, I was like, Oh fuck, he was in shit before Freaks and Geeks.
I liked the, the, so the nerd guy, what's his name?
William.
William is recounting all the shitty stuff
that Mike Dexter has done to him.
Yeah.
And he just holds up a pair of pants
that are covered in brown.
He goes, who could forget the putting it in?
Yeah, I know no one else has.
He never washed those pants.
No, you're a dirty boy, come on, wash those pants.
But he, so the stunt that he's gonna have is he forces his two,
like, toadies to wait on top of a shed
without a way of getting down.
What are they peeing?
Is peeing off that shed?
I guess.
And they agree to do it,
because they're buds.
And they're gonna jump down and strip two football players
completely naked after they chloroform them.
The chloroform they mixed in chem lab,
which is really funny to me.
And then take compromised pictures
of the two of them together.
Yeah.
They have a lot of props for this as we see later.
There's a lot of props,
but also as a nerd in high school,
I'm not attacking football players.
You would if you had chloroform.
No, I wouldn't.
Chloroform is like a sneaking up behind, not a jumping on top of situation. I guess.
Although it works. They did it.
Yeah. Yeah.
It does work.
What do I know?
I don't see no hoes. Kenny.
So we get to the party. We get to the party.
We get to the party.
This is a really hard movie to talk about it.
I didn't really think about it.
Is it because you love it too much?
Yeah, I love it too much
and it's all just a big blur of love to me.
And I don't want to waste its flavor.
Because I love Kenny Fisher so much.
You just want to quote him.
I can do it all.
I can do it all night.
Barge in here like a freaking moose.
Which I say weakly to Rob.
He won't leave me alone in the bathroom.
God.
So Ethan Embry has convinced his best friend, Denise, to go with him to the party.
Right. And we learned that he's leaving tomorrow, which is a very high school thing. Like leaving
tomorrow.
Leaving tomorrow to go to a Kurt Vonnegut workshop. I was like, you can't get any more
1998 than that. That was perfect.
And also how long can that be? A week? How long is Kurt Vonnegut committing to this?
You know?
I was reading so much Kurt Vonnegut at this point.
Oh yeah.
1998.
I was crushing it.
Meant to be.
Yeah.
Fate.
So he convinces her to go to this party because he's going to tell Amanda that he loves her.
Yeah.
And then promptly abandons Denise.
Like what did, first of all, what did he, how did he think she was gonna get home?
I don't know.
And how did she think she was gonna get home?
So he thinks, he's got this letter that he wrote her
years ago that he's been revising and revising and revising.
He's a writer, didn't he know?
He's a writer.
You can tell, cause he's dressed kind of quirky too.
It is.
And he's going to that Kurt Vonnegut workshop.
Oh yeah.
And, but like, so he's gonna give it, he thinks he's gonna to that Kurt Vonnegut workshop. Oh yeah. And, but like, so he's going to give it, he thinks he's going to give her the letter and they're just like, well, I guess we're together forever now and I have to leave Denise behind.
Yeah.
What was his plan?
I don't know, but he does leave Denise behind.
He does.
He could easily have taken her with him.
Cause he leaves that party not once, but twice.
Oh man. Cause he leaves that party not once, but twice.
Oh man.
Do you have any like, not so much back, I guess I didn't hang out with people so much
back then, but like people finding me on Facebook or whatever, they're like, Hey, do you remember
this thing in high school?
Like that one dude in the movie who just like, Oh, do you remember like seventh grade?
We did this thing.
And those people that are like, Hey, do you remember this?
I'm like, absolutely not. The fuck are you talking about? And who are you?
And who are you? Yeah.
That is just like Sabrina, the teenage witch is just trying to like, get
everyone to sign her yearbook.
These are memories frozen in time.
Never got a yearbook.
Never in your life. So we don't even have your poetry.
Someone's got it.
Delaware high, class of 1992.
Get us that yearbook.
My favorite part is I'm not going to correct you about what high school I went to.
I have no idea what it's called.
I assume it's Delaware.
Delaware, it's a small state and one high school.
Bust some men from all over the state.
The party is slamming. It's off the chain.
I would love to go to this party today.
And any, at any point in my given life.
It's at Molly Stinson's house. Yeah. She's the one with the weird knees.
She's great. I thought she was, um, oh God,
I'm not gonna be able to pull the actress's name. When I first saw her,
Oh shit. What was she in? Uh, she's in the latest Halloween movie. Uh,
did you see the latest Halloween movie? Judy Greer? Yeah, I thought it was Judy.
She's got a Judy Greer flavor. She does have a Judy Greer flavor.
And apparently not a link on a Wikipedia.
So I guess she hasn't done a ton of stuff. Wow.
Do you ever wonder what was in her refrigerator?
I think about it all the time.
I assumed it was shit.
Might've been, could've been anything.
But the party's off the chain and like,
which seems like a very 90s thing to say.
It was dope and fat.
I used fat the other day.
I was like, fucking can't hardly wait.
And yeah, Ethan Embry is going off on his thing and Denise gets left alone.
And then there's all these great interactions that she has with people.
I love when the girl comes and sits next to her and the girl's wearing like a
very frumpy dress and she's like, aren't you in my language class?
She's like, yeah, yeah, I am. She's like, I fucking knew it.
You owe me $5.
It's so mean.
It's so mean in high school.
But like, why doesn't Denise just leave?
Why does she stay at that party?
She could have apparently walked home.
She tried to.
She tried to, yeah.
Luckily, she didn't have to because the Seth Green picks
her up in his GMC.
Oh, he did real quick at the beginning when they're like kind of like going through graduation
and someone mentions French class and then they zoom in on two kids French kissing and I was like,
oh, that's cute. Yeah, you did that. Yeah, I like that.
I also like when they do their like little senior yearbook things to introduce each character and
it tells you like what activities they're doing in their future plans and their quote
because the quotes are really funny. The one woman's is Jules.
Yeah, it's Jennifer love you at,
which is like very apropos for that character.
I definitely had a book of Jules poetry in high school.
Do you remember those folks?
No.
They're so fucking bad.
Are they?
I feel like they were all about Alaska.
I mean, Jules lyrics, not that great,
but like the poetry is.
Shave yourself. I mean, Joel's lyrics, not that great. No. Like the poetry. Who will shave your shelf?
I was so sad when she fixed her snaggle too.
Yeah, it was cute.
I find it unreasonable that Mike Dexter would go to Ithaca.
I think he's going to Purdue, you know.
It doesn't strike me as an Upstate New York kind of guy.
No, no.
Hard to park on that campus.
Ithaca facts. I went to Ithaca over the summer., no. Hard to park on that campus. Ithaca facts.
I went to it to go over the summer.
It was real hard to park there.
Yeah.
Yeah, there was a beautiful area.
It is finger lakes and whatnot.
I'm such a fucking nerd.
I went there because there was a, uh, like a collection of German
witchcraft books that I went to go look at.
I can't read German.
No, but you saw them.
I just went to look at books. That's cool.
Saw him with my eyes.
Yeah. He's going to Ithaca. I think do they even have sports teams?
I don't think, because they said he loses his football scholarship.
And I was like, I'm hard pressed to believe you got a football scholarship to
Ithaca, but maybe. Who's to say? Like, is he playing D3 football?
That doesn't sound right to me. It's Mike Dexter. He's a role model.
I know like afterwards you just said.
So William downloaded this little baby off the net to tell him how much alcohol
he could drink. What is it? I don't know.
It's just a card and he looks at it and he's immediately drunk.
I do love that scene of him spitting out the beer and being like,
nobody drink the beer. The beer has gone bad.
I think it's fine. And then he just starts chugging it.
Sipping it, sipping it like,
I remember having that feeling about beer.
Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I feel like I had that more with malt liquor when that was introduced to my life.
Oh yeah.
And I was like, oh this beer has gone bad.
And so did I after I drank it.
Oh God. It's never good, is it?
Mickey's never makes anyone a better person, you know?
Tell that to House of Pain.
When Kenny's at the party and I think Mike Dexter,
no, somebody bumps him.
It was Mike Dexter. Yeah.
And he's like, watch out white boy Kenny.
And then he like sort of fronts at him and then Mike Dexter does it back.
He has such good physical. He's such a good physical comedian.
Yeah. It's kind of a bummer. He doesn't act more these days. Like,
what's he doing?
He does voiceover work.
Oh, okay.
And I think he produces and stuff now.
Good for him.
I hope he's happy.
I'm sure he is, yeah.
I hope you're happy, Seth Green, wherever you are.
I think Robot Chicken, that TV show where dolls do stuff,
is his thing.
Oh, okay.
So I think that's, and he's probably still doing voices
on The Family Guy.
Is that still a show?
Probably. Holy ghost.
Fox will not cancel anything as far as I can tell.
Jeez, bring back the X-Files.
Oh, wait.
Don't.
That didn't go well last time.
You know, I was fine.
Look, there are worse things in the world.
You know what else I love in this movie?
Matthew Sweet.
Just the song.
Just the song.
Farther Down.
Love Matthew Sweet. I do. I do. It. Farther Down. Oh, I love Matthew Sweet.
I do. I do. It's like a feeling for me of a certain time when things really meant a lot to you.
I only know Girlfriend from him. I don't know any other. You know, Sick of Myself? You know that jam. It's a hot jam. Listen to it when I leave.
So give me some more. Okay. So, um, so, so,
so the Williams storyline is basically that he becomes the life of the party and
does a singing and dancing version of, um, paradise city,
which is pretty good. I love how he wins everybody over.
Yeah. By just being like a drunk maniac. Yeah.
And he has that line about like, I can't feel my legs. I have no legs,
which I like a lot, but it's like, it, I think that diminished what he did because he's like, I can't feel my legs. I have no legs, which I like a lot. But it's like, I think that diminished what he did because he's like, I can't
feel my legs. I have no legs!
And then he goes in the make-out room with a bunch of girls. It's so awesome.
They force him in there.
And then other girls are like, did they go in the make-out room with William Lichter?
So jealous.
I wanted to do that.
Meanwhile, Kenny is trying to mack it
to every woman at the party.
He has a list of 10, I'm sorry.
He has a list of 10.
I like the one that he's like,
I forget what her name is,
hey yo, Corinne, baby, what's up?
And this woman just walks by really slowly.
And then he approaches Clea Duval and he's like asks her to dance and she's like I'm allergic and he goes allergic
to dancing she just goes yeah she's so cool she is so cool much better hair than they had made
her have in the faculty oh god that was so was so bad. It was so wet, so greasy.
And then so blonde.
Oh yeah. When she turns norm. So, uh,
eventually Kenny gets locked in the bathroom with Denise.
Right. Cause he goes up there to,
cause he overhears a woman who's saying my boyfriend cheated on me.
I'm going to have sex with the next guy that talks to me. And he's like,
He looks directly into the camera, which I like a lot.
And then he's like, yo, baby, I would never treat you like that.
See an angel sitting right in front of me.
I definitely know every line he has in this movie. It is sick and not cool. Just sick.
in this movie. It is sick and not cool. Just sick. Like an illness.
Yeah. Think about how much like I could have read and known instead of just learning Kenny
Fisher's lines.
Well, before he gets locked in the bathroom, his friends look up and they're like, oh,
how's it going with getting the ladies?
That's what they say. Yep.
And he starts talking about all the hoes.
Yeah. Trying to knock the boots.
And his friend says. I don't see the hoes. Yeah. Trying to knock the boots. And his friend says.
I don't see no hoes, Kenny.
What you have just said in random conversations.
I say it all the time.
It means everything to me.
It's my Smurf.
So meanwhile, JLoHugh is having a heart to heart with a guy who is
wearing like a super shiny silver button down polyester shirt.
Who was introduced to us as Ron, her second cousin.
Yeah.
The fact that he's our cousin is such a weird detail.
Like it's just weird.
Second cousin.
Second cousin through marriage.
Yeah.
So he like listens to her talk about how she's not just
the prom queen and she's going to find out who she is
and she doesn't realize, like really know why she was
with Mike for so long anyway.
And then he grabs her knee and tries to kiss her.
He does.
And then Preston sees her being kissed by this guy.
It's like a comedy of errors kind of,
and he just gets upset and leaves the party.
Throws the letter into the trashcan.
That's the last we'll ever see of that letter.
Right.
It's gone forever.
Gone forever, until a woman with like Steve Madden
chunky heeled sandals comes and steps on it,
which are so 1998.
I do love the Rube Goldbergness of that.
I do too.
Said to another Smash Mouth.
I'm not joking.
It is.
Oh, we did have to mention that when Bust a Move comes on,
I'm like, God damn, that's a good jam.
This is a great soundtrack.
It opens with Third Eye Blind, graduate.
Can I graduate?
This is a great soundtrack.
Third Eye Blind. I am correct. Everything I have said is correct.
No doubt. No doubt. No doubt. I still stand the, uh, the singles soundtrack.
So what are you going to do? What are you going to do? Um, but let's do the,
the, the quick. So someone throws, uh, Sabrina, the, uh, uh, the teenage witches, um,
your book into the trash cause everyone's just throwing it away.
She tries to get, cause she's apparently a nerd.
And so she's throwing the trash. She throws a letter on the ground.
Somebody steps in gum, then steps on the letter,
takes a letter in the house.
That chunky healed Steve men sandals. I'm just saying, I know those shoes.
It gets like kicked at somebody as she gets in the door.
It flies around and eventually ends up in like a chip bowl or something.
Yeah, right in front of Amanda and it's got her name on it.
It does.
She picks it up and reads it and she looks around and her acting is so acting.
She is acting. She is acting.
She is acting.
I mean, I feel like she's always acting.
Yeah, it's bad.
Do you remember in, I know what you did last summer
where she's trying to call out the murderer
and she's just like spinning around with her arms.
She's like Neruda running in the street.
Yelling, what are you waiting for?
Come at me, bro.
She's not a great actor, I know.
Yeah. I know.
Yeah.
I don't know why I care for her.
That's fine.
Probably because of this movie.
Yes, there's so much, like having seen this movie,
I feel like, much like we had talked about,
oh no, that won't have happened yet.
I'm gonna do, we talked about like Ghost and Mr. Chicken
and how you feel like that's gonna unlock a lot of Alan.
I feel like this movie unlocks a lot of Katie.
Yeah, I believe that.
I'm like, oh, this is probably why she loves Romeo
and Juliet by Dire Straits.
Oh yeah, and Empire Records, it appears in that movie.
Yeah, yeah.
So Kenny and Denise are locked in the bathroom
and we learn that they used to be best friends when they were small.
But Kenny had to sit with the trendy kids at the cafeteria.
But then I wondered how did Kenny get from the trendy table to this?
Cause he's clearly like a mocked character. He's not popular, you know,
he really like down, went downhill.
Well, I feel like he's like,
I knew kids in high school that like, tried to glom on to the trendy kids
and then would just like, get cast off.
Oh.
And I feel like he is one of the cast offs.
Oh, poor Kenny.
But also I felt like, I felt for them so much
because I went to, from kindergarten to 12th grade with the same class.
And we got like bus to the city and we like moved around.
But it was basically the same kids for the most part.
So like I had people that I was friends with in grade school that I just stopped talking
to and said like, you're graduating.
And there's that whole thing of like, well, I guess I guess I'll never see you again.
Anyway.
Bye.
Yeah. So like the fact, like I thought that was a really good story dynamic of the two of them,
like kind of knowing who they are, but still being like so distant at this point.
And then they make out and then they fuck.
It's so weird.
It's super disappointing.
So disappointing.
I also felt for him on that.
Yeah. But then he's like revealed that he wrote Denise Fleming as a tampon on her locker.
And she told someone that he's a dendrophiliac, which is a person who has sex with trees,
which is just, it's just very funny to me.
Dendrophiliac is great.
Yeah.
I also thought it was really funny when the band is fighting and they're breaking up and
Breckenmire.
You said that with their clenched teeth, like he'd angered you in some way. But it was his last name. Breckenmire throws... You said that with her clenched teeth,
like he'd angered you in some way.
Why was this last name?
Breckenmire.
He's smoking in the house and he throws a cigarette
on the floor and lights the drapes on fire.
The woman who lives in the house runs over
and puts the fire out and goes down there and goes,
is that poop?
And grabs a dude's shoe and shoves her face in.
Pshh.
That was good. That was good.
That was good.
That was really funny.
And then that's when I think the,
the paradise city scene happens.
Sometime around there.
Yeah.
That happened for a guy at my high school too,
except it was the high school talent show.
And he did earth angel wearing a bunch of eyeliner
and girls like lost their panties at him.
He was a nerd.
And then he was like a sex machine.
Whoa, that's like some like Johnny Depp and Crybaby shit.
I've never seen that.
I don't know what that means.
It's like a 50s set movie where Johnny Depp is Crybaby and everybody loves him.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, sorry.
It happened for Nate.
Congratulations, Nate.
That's hilarious.
High school talent show, Earth Angel.
I remember like popular girls being like, I want to marry him.
The only thing I remember about the high school talent show is my friend's band
covering master of puppets.
That's so timely.
And goes on for like 10 minutes.
It's a really long song.
Three minute just guitar solo.
for like 10 minutes. It's a really long song. There's a three minute just guitar solo.
Wow. Class of 92.
I think it's locked in my memory cause they,
they said fuck on stage at the talent show.
How much trouble did they get in? A lot of trouble for them.
But they were also like the fucking like AP nerd kids.
Yeah. How much trouble could you get in? Yeah. Sorry.
So Mike Dexter also gets real drunk and then ends up outside having a
conversation with Jerry O'Connell as Tripp McNeely,
which is the best named character in the movie,
who is like a college guy who came back to hang out at a high school party.
And he's telling Mike about how he should stay with Amanda because girls
in college only care about ecological shit.
They all want to be with older dudes.
It was so, it was so perfect. He's like, he's a pre-med.
They all are.
But that's also funny because it like kind of subverts that like whole thing of like
the hunky football player is just going to do great.
Right.
You know, like his last line is about bringing flip flops to wear in the shower because he
has warts all over his feet, which is just disgusting.
I love the scene where before Ethan Emory, um, I think it's before he goes to give a
letter to Amanda and he's just like
a heart felt the talking to someone.
And you don't see who it is.
He's giving the speech about how like, I want her to understand that.
I think she's more than just the prom queen.
And I think, um, Matthew Sweet, farther down is playing again.
And it's just like, I was going to say it's like some like sappy, like,
Hey, Hey, but it's so good because like they just turned to the foreign exchange student
who has learned this phrase earlier in the movie. And he just says,
do you want to touch my penis?
You like to touch my penis. I am a sex machine.
It's so funny.
It's also like, come on movie.
Also Selma Blair's in this movie.
Yeah, she's a skanky.
Jeff Gurnarsen, she called us skanky.
Like because of that, you just called her skanky.
Well, call those guys I see it Selma Blair.
So, so Amanda reads a letter, doesn't know who Preston is.
So she goes and talks to this guy who is like
the most stereotypical stoner in the world.
Oh, that's the guy who is in Six Feet Under.
Oh, okay, okay.
And Jason Segel, who's eating a whole watermelon.
Nevermind, not the same guy,
think of somebody else.
Oh, okay, the blonde guy with the big hair,
he's talking about how Velma was a hip, hip lady.
And they also have that scene where William's talking about
the salt on the pretzel and how the stars are just
God's salt and God's waiting to eat us.
That was like my aim profile forever.
So this movie just permeated every aspect of your life.
It's fucked.
I realize now I'm a sad sack of a human being.
What the fuck are you talking about?
What the fuck are you talking about? What the fuck are you talking about?
So they're describing Preston Myers as has hair and wears t-shirts sometimes.
He's just Preston, man.
He's just Preston, man.
That was very funny, too.
It was very funny.
So then, so Mike confronts Amanda and says,
you don't want me to take you back. And he like tries to embarrass her in front of a crowd of people. So then pressed, so, so Mike confronts Amanda and says,
you don't want me to take you back.
And he like tries to embarrass her in front of a crowd of
people. She ended up embarrassing him.
Somebody in there calls him the F word in a fur of its time was
probably a very funny scene. Yeah, I think so. In retrospect,
not so much. I think everyone's probably a little more ashamed of that one now.
Uh, but then all these guys come up to Amanda and start being real gross
to her. Oh yeah. And then Preston yells, Amanda, I love you.
And then tries to talk to her and she fucking flips on him.
She's understandably fed up at this. Oh yeah.
I know you probably have issue with Preston feeling like he's owed something.
Sure. Yeah, for sure. But I do like that. He he lets it go the next morning when we see him again, he's
like, well, it didn't work out and I guess it wasn't meant to be.
And I'm moving on. So like taking no for an answer,
I feel is like fairly progressive for 98 and sad, sad way. For sure. For sure.
For sure.
Although like in the grand scheme of things that he is rewarded for feeling that
he should like that she like read the letter and was like, I guess I love you anyway.
Yeah. But also it's kind of left.
He is sort of lovable though too. Oh, for sure. So, you know,
yeah, those eyebrows just going up and up and up and up and up and up.
But like it, but it's also like, they don't kiss. They're like, I guess.
They kiss at the end.
Oh, that's right. Cause he runs up and kisses. Yeah.
Of course they kiss at the end. Oh my God. Okay. I was going to say, cause it's just kind of left of end. Oh, that's right. Cause he runs up and kisses. Yeah. Of course they kiss at the end. Oh my God.
Okay. I was going to say, cause it's just kind of left of like, Oh,
maybe we'll hang out when you come back.
She writes him a letter for every day is away. Why? I don't know.
They have instant messaging. I know I was there.
I know I've seen a, you've got mail.
Two years before this, right? 96. No, it's 98. I'm sorry.
It's not a great ongoing joke I'm working with,
but you've got mail came out.
I'm disagreeing with you now.
Thank you.
What is it, New York 1523 or whatever it is.
Something like that.
So, oh, so Ethan every leaves the party,
goes to stops at like a...
A service station?
Is it a service station or a restaurant or something?
Oh, a diner, yeah, you're right, it's a diner.
And he's like trying to use the phone booth
to call Barry Manilow because earlier he heard Mandy
and that was like his sign that he should talk to Amanda.
Then now Barry Manilow is having a concert in Tokyo
so that he can call him at 2 a.m. to talk to,
it's fucking stupid.
The Manilow himself.
Is that song about a dog?
I have no idea. I have no idea either.
I feel like I should know.
You've faced your entire life.
Stop.
Um, just because I named my daughter Amanda Beckett, my last name.
Amanda Breckenmeyer.
So he's trying to use the phone booth and an apparition appears.
An angel.
Isn't she Dharma from Dharma and Grape?
She is.
And she is super into Scientology.
So she's a bad one.
We don't like her.
But there's a lot of people in this movie who turned out to be not so great.
Oh really?
Yeah.
Is that how we're going to end the podcast?
You're just going to out everybody so great. Oh, really? Yeah. Is that how we're going to end the podcast? You're just going to out everybody. Nope. So it's a Jenna Elfman. She rolls up and she's a, uh,
exotic dancer that is dressed as an angel.
She's like a shitty little harp.
She has a harp jammed in her purse.
She pulls it out when she's looking for her Marlboro lights.
Oh my God. It's so good.
Which I was like, cause that's what I was smoking at the time.
Or as we called them, slut butts.
Cause they're girl cigarettes.
At least that's 1998.
99 anyway.
I smoked menthols because I figured out that no one would bum cigarettes off me.
Cause when they try and you tell them it's menthol, they walk away.
I was like, oh, you want one of these cools? They'd be like, no.
You were so cool though.
With a K.
So she hangs up his phone call with Barry Manilow and then gives him some great
life advice.
About Scott Baio.
Also a terrible person.
Which I also liked that they're kind of like, yeah, he's a shitty dude.
It's really like 98, they already knew.
Yeah.
Uh, fuck Scott Baio. Oh my God. Just shut your fucking 98, they already knew. Yeah. Yeah, fucks got bae-o.
Oh my God, just shut your fucking mouth, gub-a-o.
Shutting up is both easy and free.
Friend of ours, actually friends of ours,
Allison and Sarah went to the March on Washington,
the women's march, in shirts that say,
Joni hates shatching.
Oh, that's awesome.
I love that.
Yeah.
So fucks got bae-o.
Yeah. But I really like, like that So fucked up, yo. Yeah.
But I really like, like that scene's great.
Where she's giving him the advice
and they're just talking.
And yeah, I really liked that scene.
It's about how there's such a thing as fate,
but it can only take you so far.
Yeah.
And you gotta do it yourself, yeah.
Yeah, it's like the like coming of age moment for him.
Yeah.
Where he's like, dog, you gotta live your life.
Yeah.
And it was really sweet.
And her hair was insane.
It's so 1998.
It's like curled and stuck.
And curls and just like.
And there's bangs.
Yeah.
It's very strange.
It's very strange.
Oh.
Yeah, we're into this.
Well, there's not too much movie left at this point.
No, so Denise and Kenny have fucked
and it's very awkward afterwards,
like so tangibly awkward that like those actors are both so good and like you
feel terrible in that room. Yeah. Yeah.
And I'm sure trying to give advice and it's ill received
because it's his first time, but not hers. And she's like, Oh, it'll get better.
Which is like something that people should probably know the first time.
No one wants a critique right after the Dunbonin. Oh, you didn't have the,
the questionnaire that you're handed to her.
And how was my performance? Oh, it was bad. It was very bad.
Soup's bad. You can't just lay there. Um,
so, so, uh, he, then he like flips back into his like, yo dog,
uh, persona. He has dropped that while talking to her.
He's like, I don't always talk like that. Yeah. Uh,
and he goes back into it and then she is understandably upset.
And then Molly bus in and was like, Oh, that's how they get out.
She's like covered in something and her hair is all wild. Cause the police have come at this point and there's this great,
everybody fleeing the police song set to dammit the blink 182 song.
And I just love, I love it so much.
And like a cop gets sprayed in the face with silly string and like grabs his
face and screams like it's a battery acid.
Fucking funny.
So then she's going to walk home.
Kenny sees her on the street and was like, let me just give you a ride home.
Yeah. And then he apologizes in a very sheepish way.
Yeah. And it's sweet. It's sweet. Yeah. So the next, oh, so,
so then William has convinced when the cops come, William convinces Mike Dexter, who he thinks he's like made up with and become's sweet. Yeah. So the next, oh, so then William has convinced, when the cops come, William convinces Mike Dexter,
who he thinks he's like made up with and become friends with,
to run to hide behind the pool house with him.
So when they get there, the other two nerds
jump off the roof and chloroform William and Mike.
And take the compromising photos.
And take the compromising photos,
which involve like latex gloves, um,
stockings on their heads. I think like a feather duster is somewhere.
And like, um, pom poms.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
Pom poms the snack cakes that are like put on his boobs.
Are there snack cakes?
I never knew that.
They're like the hostess snack.
Oh, I like that.
Snowballs.
Yeah. Okay.
All right.
But like one of them has a chunk bit out of it.
I didn't even notice that. Oh, I love that.
Cause they've broken the flashlights earlier pretending they were lightsabers.
So it's dark and they don't know it's William.
When they find the lights, uh, find the flashlight.
Yeah.
And shine it and realize it's William, they just run.
Cause the cops are coming.
I love that though. They're just like, eh, fuck it.
Also, they didn't have to put those pictures out into the world.
I guess they left them there cause they were falling from the camera cause the
cops find the pictures.
I just see my note that after Kenny and Denise had sex,
they were like had a blanket from a shower curtain covering them.
And I wish that had just been Kenny's pants.
His pants are enormous.
They're comedically big.
There was a comp that came out this time around this time.
I think it was a no idea records out of Florida put out a comp and I think it
was just on the record matrix.
It said giant pants are a waste of precious fabric. Because everyone's pants were so fucking big.
So fucking big.
Fit a family of five in there.
And even I like, I didn't wear big pants,
but I think back to how big my pants were back there,
they were gigantic.
Yeah, I definitely wore big pants in the day.
A lot of cargo pants that I could fit like books in.
Your pants being so big at the bottom
that they would just like tread under your heels and then they would get torn up and be
too short in the bag.
It's so muddy.
And the salt, all the salt streets.
Anyway, so William wakes up in jail, uh, with an raging hangover, which seeing
that now as an adult, I'm like, Whoa, like I feel like I want to throw up because I know exactly how he feels.
Though I've never been arrested.
Sure. Really? Yeah.
Yeah. Me. I don't know how I did it. Me either.
I should have been multiple times.
Yeah. I never spent the night in jail.
I spent an evening at a police station once.
That makes it feel like you had a phone meal.
Yeah. It was just, yeah, they let us go eventually.
Uh, can we talk about the, uh, when, uh,
Kenny's toadies dropped the N bomb to the black man at the park?
Yeah. I like that though, because they are chased and, um, you know,
I like that it's like, no, it's not fucking okay.
It's not fucking okay for you to say that. But then when they, um,
they like are hiding in bushes and when the, um,
the black party goers leave, they're like, Oh, but I would have,
stupid and like perfect for what people would have done. Yeah. I like the, uh,
or I did not like the, when Denise was like, you know, you're white, right?
To Kenny and they're just like, yeah, yeah.
But you know, it's 1998 and it's, everything's very confusing.
So we cut to the next morning. Yeah. Mike wakes up, he gets, he gets,
his parents get him out of jail, I guess.
Oh right. He says to the cop, like, did you see my parents? Are they mad?
And they're like, no,
they're worried about you because Mike Dexter held you down,
forced you to drink alcohol and then whatever.
Which is like, so he's like, Oh, we're friends now. We're buds.
Mike did cover for him.
And then they go to the diner where everyone's having breakfast.
He's in way too chipper a mood for how fucking hungover he's got to be.
I know you're like 18, but no.
I got accidentally hungover a couple of weeks ago and like, I like woke up and I was like,
oh, this fucking sucks.
Just combined to beers that shouldn't have gone together.
Can I tell you what's a nightmare?
Yeah.
Being hungover with a two year old.
Oh my God.
Making you watch Bippy. Like, please turn that down.
I don't know what blippy is. That's count yourself the luckier for it.
So he goes to the diner and he's like, Hey Mike, how's it going? Mike,
we're buddies Mike Mike and Mike's like, fuck you nerd.
Shouldn't you be playing with your computer?
And then he does the like four eyes thing with his hands.
And then it's like a freeze frame on William leaving the diner.
And we're told that he is like a tech mogul and dating a billionaire or dating a
supermodel. He's a billionaire, whatever. Good for him.
She might be a billionaire too.
Probably. Hopefully she's independently wealthy also.
But Mike lost his scholarship because he drank too much beer.
It's just silly.
And then got fired from the car wash
when the incriminating Polaroid surfaced,
which is gross.
Yeah. Yeah.
Ethan Embry has taken off.
He says goodbye to Denise in a very sweet way.
Denise and Kenny break up
and then 10 minutes later find a bathroom
and get back together.
It's clear they have nothing to talk about.
So I wonder how long this is gonna go on, you know?
I think they're still together.
No, I love it.
Oh.
J. Lo Hugh tracks down Ethan Ebrie's parents.
Oh, she finds him in the yearbook because she,
Melissa Joan Hart has been drying it off.
She finds this picture and realizes that it's a man
she had just yelled at.
Yeah.
And then she goes home and throws away
all of her pictures of Mike and dead flowers.
It's so silly.
She has the best side braid.
Her hair is so thick.
And she goes, as we talked about earlier,
goes and meets him at the train station,
which is like this crazy Art Deco train station.
Have you ever taken a train anywhere?
Yeah, for sure. I can take a train somewhere. I you ever taken a train anywhere? Yeah, for sure.
I can take a train somewhere.
I've done the Pittsburgh to Philly train.
Oh yeah.
It's nice, it takes about eight hours.
That's longer than the Greyhound.
Yeah, but you can stretch the fuck out and it's dope.
Yeah?
Yeah, maybe some time.
Yeah.
Seems inefficient, but I also thought they were
in California for some reason.
I don't know why I thought that.
And then I was like, are you taking a train to Boston?
That's going to take you months to get there.
I thought they were somewhere in the Northeast.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
What do I thought that?
I don't know.
Huntington, maybe.
Although that's a very, like, everywhere name.
Yeah.
The X-Files guys get abducted.
Wait.
I want to talk about Jennifer Loewe.
It's terrible khakis that she's wearing in that last scene.
Because her outfit is reprehensible.
She's wearing like the worst khakis you've ever seen, which I think I described
Meg Ryan is wearing.
Now I have seen worse khakis now that I think about it.
1998 was a terrible year for khakis.
Uh, and like one of those angel t-shirts and a long cardigan.
She just looks like a bananas person.
But yeah, I don't know like what they were like trying to say with that outfit.
Yeah. But I guess judging by Meg Ryan also wearing almost the exact same outfit, it was probably just the look of the time.
I guess. I wasn't wearing that. You probably had some khakis. I did not own khakis. I owned khaki colored large corduroys.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Zip, zip, zip, zip, zip. The X-Files guys get abducted though, which was really cute. I did not own khakis. I owned khaki colored large corduroys.
The, uh, the ex-files guys get abducted though, which was really cute. They're like nothing exciting ever happens in this town and then they get
abducted and that's the end of the movie. Yeah.
So that is a, the horror movie. Can't hardly wait.
I love it. Go ahead and rate this movie.
It's a 10. We watched it. I don't think,
I don't know if Rob had never seen it before
or had like only seen it a long time ago.
I find that impossible.
I know.
Well, it's kind of a like a,
I'm home alone watching this movie kind of thing.
It's not something I share with others.
Not like home alone, which he makes you watch every year.
Yeah, exactly.
He was like, he turned to me and he was like,
I'm so glad they ended up together.
I love how in love with love, Rob is.
He really is. This is his month and I doubt he listens to any of these episodes. And I
hope not this one because I talked about having dirty thoughts about Peter Facinelli.
Who doesn't? So it's a 10.
Yeah, it's a 10. Obviously it's a 10. I understand that there are some problematic things with Preston Meyers
feeling like he's owed something, but I feel like it's handled in as delicate a way as
1988 was capable of doing it.
1988 teen movie.
And he's just presented as like a good dude, not like a good dude with ulterior
motives, but like a genuinely good dude. Yeah. I don't know. You tell me.
I give this movie a seven. Yeah, it's totally fine. It's fine.
I think if I was a teen, when this movie came out, I'd fucking love it.
If you'd rented it from Iggle Video,
it would mean something to you.
For sure.
Yeah.
I do wanna do a quick plug for another movie.
Did you see Booksmart?
No, but I've heard it's great.
I highly recommend seeing Booksmart.
Okay.
It's really fun and it's dumb,
and I love that it's a female-based,
dumb, fun high school movie.
Cool.
And it's not like, there's no message,
it's just like fucking kids.
Yeah.
And I feel like, like we talked last week
about like making a feminist movie
and I feel like that's a really feminist idea
of just like, hey, it's just a movie
about girls in high school.
Cool. Let's go.
Great.
Yeah, it's great.
Watch Booksmart.
Okay.
All right, go.
Watch Dairy Girls.
Watch what?
Dairy Girls.
Did you watch Dairy Girls? I haven't watched Dairy Girls.
Oh, I fucking love Dairy Girls.
I watched the whole series, like the whole series three times now.
Oh, whoa.
Because there's only five episodes or six episodes and they're like 20 minutes of pop.
Okay.
In only two seasons.
It is so fucking funny.
Nice.
Watch Dairy Girls if you want to watch women being funny.
Will do.
Okay.
Real quick, I want to thank listener Andy B, who recently sent us an animated GIF of
Katie and I in an ambulance with a werewolf on top of it.
It's so fucking good.
I just sent Katie an email that said, so cute.
So cute.
I showed it to Lucy and I said, who is that?
And she said, mommy and Alan. I didn't realize it was animated at first.
And then I saw it was animated. I got giddy.
Also thank you for making my boobs look so fantastic. Cause they do.
Did you notice that they don't look like that in real life? They're great.
I was too busy on my like looking at my bus station and be like, that's it.
Oh, fuck. That's what my mustache looks like. It's got a handlebar,
but it kind of like does it naturally.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It looks cool.
Oh, thanks.
But thank you, Andy, for sending us that and watch the video that's coming out
next week, it's going to have that little animated thing in it somewhere.
And then after that, we'll put it on our, uh, Facebook, where I don't know, can
you put a GIF on Instagram?
Probably not.
Fucking dicks.
Everyone's good. Yes. You too. Of course you can.
Of course you can do that. Why are you such idiots? Cause we're old.
So thank you, Andy, for sending us that.
I'm 11 years older than Peter Fretchen.
And I'm 10 years older than that. Yeah.
