Fuckin' did we need two Mark Wahlberg songs in this soundtrack?
Did we?
Did we?
Did we?
No, we didn't need one.
Oh, that's probably true.
Did we need all the Mark Wahlberg in this movie?
I mean, did we?
No.
No.
Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
He's not even that handsome.
I agree.
He's very fit.
Sure.
He has a fantastic physique.
Yeah, who doesn't?
That's the easy part.
Who doesn't just tuck a thermal shirt into their jeans and have their shoulders be three
times the size of their waist? But not three times the size of their waist.
But not three times the size of the cuff on his pants.
No.
His pants are so huge.
Everyone's wearing the worst jeans in this movie.
Oh my God, let's get into it.
We're tackling the film Fear.
Arguably not a horror movie.
It is listed as a horror thriller.
I mean, it's a siege movie.
It's got elements of straw dogs in it.
It's got like, yeah, it's got.
Sure.
I feel like it's, yeah, I think it's a horror movie.
Okay, great.
This is a movie.
Horrifying.
It is horrifying on a variety of levels.
This is a movie that was marketed towards teenage girls when I was a teenage girl.
Sure. Reese Witherspoon was like a teen media darling. She was everywhere at this point. How cute is a movie that was marketed towards teenage girls when I was a teenage girl sure Reese Witherspoon was like a teen media
Darling, she was everywhere at this point. She was a button cute as a button and this was her this and cruel intentions
We're like right around the same time. Okay. Yeah, Sarah Michelle Geller Ryan Felipe. Yes
vehicle
Delaware zone and then they got together and then they had those kids and then they split up
She Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Felipe.
Just so you know.
They were together for a minute though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But not anymore.
So my friends in high school, my friends and I in high school would watch those two movies
as like a back to back night.
Okay.
We liked this movie.
I remember Cool Intentions being very sexy.
It's sexy.
That's the cruel part is taking someone's virginity.
Also this movie.
Yeah.
This movie not sexy at all.
Both of those movies are,
I realize now about Reese Witherspoon's virginity
at their cores.
She does have, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can see why.
Whoa.
Colorful. We also used to, when we would get mad at each other, She does have, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can see why. Lull. Collar pool.
We also used to, when we would get mad at each other,
do the thing of punching ourselves in the chest.
Fuck, I hated it so much.
Just as a joke.
Oh, I have no doubt.
Yeah.
You weren't reporting to the police
that you'd been bruised.
Oh my God, I got a boo boo.
Boo boo, bandaid.
That's what happens to me with toddler.
The director of this film, James Foley.
Yeah, you were excited, right?
He's the director of Who's That Girl? The Madonna movie.
Yeah.
Which I fucking loved when I was a kid.
Great movie.
Yeah.
He's done a lot of the videos too.
Yeah.
And I believe he directed Glengarry Glen Ross.
He did. A great film.
Yeah. I mean, yeah, for sure.
And he's good.
And this movie is well directed.
But he did not write this movie.
No. And that's the problem.
Yeah.
I don't, Christopher Crowe did,
and he does not have a Wikipedia page,
so I know nothing about him.
Not Christopher Cross,
which is where I was hoping you were going.
I wish too.
Speaking of people that aren't together anymore.
Christopher Cross?
Yeah. Oh, and we're not talking about Chris Cross, the...
No, we're talking about the light...
Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac.
The light FM star, Christopher Cross.
Well, we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
I wish Chris Cross had started off as Christopher Cross. It's too formal.
Yeah.
We need to get the kids in.
So were you a fan of Mark Wahlberg's Hips and Hops?
No.
OK, good.
Did you know that he tried to have a reggae career?
No.
Did you know that his reggae group was called One Love?
Like he named it off a fucking Bob Marley poster
in someone's dorm room?
You can't do that.
No.
No, that's sacred.
It's sacred ground.
No, white boy from Boston, you don't get one.
I am so glad he never had a reggae career.
Holy ghost.
When he tried, he tried to roll.
I mean, that's the reggae song when he's at the bar, the daytime teen drinking.
Why are there so many people there midday?
the bar, the daytime teen drinking with his vehicle. Why are there so many people there midday?
I don't know. I guess they're all unemployed extras from singles.
Oh, that's pretty much what it looked like, yeah. No, I didn't know that. His past is very checkered.
Oh, yeah. I mean, he's a fucking shitbag.
In that scene where he's beating up Gary, I was like, oh, is this like when you blinded that Asian man?
I thought- Funny, why did I laugh at that? I thought, because it's those parts where he's being a violent cock, you're like, oh,
you're doing this well because you're not actually acting.
Yeah. But when you were supposed to act, it's horrible. We did not like The Happening. The
Happening is a bad movie. Agree to agree. But he's a better actor, he got better.
Sure.
He worked hard at it presumably
because he is so fucking bad in this.
Well this is his first movie, isn't it?
I don't know.
I believe it's his first film,
his first foray into the films.
And boy, what a door.
Post underwear adsman.
Oh yeah, take a break from his busy pants
dropping schedule to plant
a tree. Oh my god. Yeah. I also, before I watched the movie, I was doing my research
and I texted Katie because I was excited because these Sundays and Toad the Wet Sprocketer
on the soundtrack. I was like, yeah, sad boy, go, go, go. You were like, I'm going to love
this movie. I get to hear Wild Horses twice.
And not even the shitty Rolling Stones version. I know it's theirs. I know it's theirs. Don't
say it. I hate the Rolling Stones. This is a better version of that song. Oh for sure.
I'll take the Sundays any day that we come to the Stones. So how do you want to get into
this? We've talked to Mark Wahlberg and well it it'll come up and tomorrow will come up.
The film opens on William Peterson sprinting
through the woods at a pace he can barely maintain.
Also, that just seems like a tripping hazard.
I know.
What, are you gonna go into your marketing architecture job
with a boo boo on your face?
No, you are not.
But then we realized that he's sprinting
through the woods next to his gated community.
So he probably has someone that goes and removes all the tree limbs.
Yeah, he and his family, which is him, Amy Brenneman, played, is a character named Laura,
his second wife.
Why isn't she in more stuff?
She's fantastic.
Yeah, she's great.
Yeah, she's lovely.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think maybe judging Amy ruined her.
Oh.
I don't know. Reese Witherspoon is his teenage daughter
that we are told has only come up about a year ago
from LA to live with him after her mom died, question mark?
It's like unclear what happened to her mom.
It's such a throwaway.
But multiple times they reference nothing about her.
Yeah.
You should go back to her. Questions?
And it's weird because the movie wants us to understand her mental state, but they won't
give us anything about it.
Just hormonal teens, that's enough.
That's all you need.
She also has that daddy's girl bracelet.
Why would she have that?
She hadn't lived there with him since, for like years and years.
I assume she got that when they went and saw James Taylor when she was six years old.
Oh, God, yeah.
Oh, please, if anyone ever makes you go see James Taylor, you divorce them, whether it's
your spouse or your parents.
Oh, don't forget about Toby, the young brother Toby.
I have some things to say about Toby later in the movie.
Toby is Laura's son from her previous relationship.
Yeah.
One of my first notes is when dad's running and he comes to the driveway and he lifts
his arms up like he's breaking the banner, like he's the first one crossing the line.
And it just said, reliving past accomplishments.
No, just fuck you. Fuck you.
And then we go to dad grossly peeping at his daughter.
Yeah, he's very invested in her sexuality.
But there's that shot of when she walks into the kitchen and she's wearing like a very
short like sundressy type thing.
Everything everyone was wearing this movie you could not sit down in to be fair.
No, don't drop anything.
No, you're done.
It's over.
But the look he has is not like, oh, come on. It's, oh, hey.
The same look he's giving her best friend later in the movie.
Oh, yeah. He's DTF with Alyssa Milano.
And then he's like mad that Mark Wahlberg sees him looking at her butt?
Yeah.
Don't fucking look at her butt then! Nothing. So, everything in this movie in the first act is Chekhov's fill in the blank.
The kid blows the whistle because it's Chekhov's whistle. And you know what I mean? Just everything
that this movie gives you is like, hold on to this. Just hold on to this a little bit,
okay?
We forgot to mention the fifth family member, Kaiser, the German Shepherd.
What do you name a German Shepherd, Kaiser?
Seems a little Nazi-ish.
A little Nazi-ish.
You could name him, I feel like you could name him Klaus. That would be better.
Better than Kaiser. That's all I think.
I guess Kaiser is pre-Nazi.
Sure.
It's still sketch.
It's sketch, yeah.
Yeah.
Just name it fucking Ralph.
Yeah. This is not a good one. Just name it fucking Ralph.
Yeah, this is my German Shepherd, Brendan.
Kevin!
I get very confused at this point, because she's going to school and then they're going
to play hooky and then they're going to a club?
They are going out for lunch.
It seems like they're going off campus for lunch.
Okay, okay.
And that's a very confusing bar bar because there are like fucking meth
dudes playing pool in the back. Yeah.
And then they're ordering like turkey and Gouda.
Yeah. And big salads or something.
And it's the middle of the day because it's high school lunch.
And it's packed out and it's loud.
Yeah. Yeah.
And everyone's wearing club clothes.
And Jonathan Davis is playing pool
That guy looks so much like a dude from corn
I am so offended by the implication that Alyssa Milano would throw herself at that guy
He is a grosso
He's a grosso
He's foul. He's foul. Yeah, he looks like something like Mick Foley cast off at some point exactly
Exactly. He looks like a Jonathan like Mick Foley cast off at some point. Exactly. Exactly.
He looks like a Jonathan Davis, Mick Foley dandruff problem.
This is the period where Alyssa Milano was like, I'm not who's the boss.
I'm a dirty girl.
Yeah.
She was like doing like, this is like poison ivy.
She's a lot of like straight to video kind of stuff.
Is it a kiss of the vampire? Oh, I don't know that.
I think that's a like sexy vampire movie that she did.
That sounds about right.
Kiss of the Vampire, yeah.
I remember it being very exciting because you could see her boobs in the movie.
Whoa.
Yeah, boobs.
The thing about this movie is that the real victim is Margot.
Yes. And the real hero is, I guess, Toby.
Yeah, yeah, 100% Toby.
Although, I just don't...
I think he's gonna have some problems afterwards, but...
Oh, there's a lot of therapy at Toby's future.
I don't... Like...
We'll get to it.
This movie is so unkind to Margot.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And she's just cast off by everyone.
And she openly says it. Yeah. It's awful. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like and she's just cast off by everyone. And she openly says it. Yeah.
It's awful. Yeah, for sure.
The movie wants you to sympathize with Reese Witherspoon,
but she's a dick.
She really is.
Back to Alyssa Milano for a second.
She noticed those invisible liners that she had. No.
Or she had like the invisible braces on.
Yeah, I did not notice. They must have been invisible. Yeah. Is that tattoo on her back hers? the invisible liners that she had? No. Or she had like the invisible braces on?
Yeah, yeah.
I did not notice, they must have been invisible.
Is that tattoo on her back hers?
I hope not.
Oh, I don't know.
No way.
So, okay, so yeah, so they leave for lunch,
they go to this bar, club, fancy deli.
That's just Seattle, right?
Like you're just gonna get every aspect of life in one place.
I guess.
You're gonna have dirtbag meth dealers and Gouda sandwiches and then
Fuck it. I mean
Wobburg just looks so gross when he comes into frame.
Yeah.
You're just like, oh you're a scuzz bucket.
So scuzzy.
But we're supposed to think he's handsome.
Oh and our star does.
Reese Witherspoon is smitten.
Smitten.
And so a flyer gets passed around about this rave.
Rave.
Rave.
Rave.
And through, I don't know, a series of events, they go.
Is that fair?
Yeah, but mom and dad go out, so Reese Witherspoon's like, I'm going to go out too.
No, no, they were supposed to go see James Taylor, but Dad got called away because he
works too hard and that's what has pushed her into doing all the things she does.
Because you weren't there, Dad.
It's just James Taylor revenge, all of this.
No, it's true.
Don't like it. So they get to this rave. Mm-hmm.
Tell me about the rave. Strong quote. I never went to a rave in the nine days. Okay. You'll find this easy to believe.
But I have a lot of friends who did and no one ever reported back that it was this shitty.
It seems extraordinarily shitty. I believe the band that's playing is Dink
is the name of the band. No, no, he's like, you're not even trying.
And it sounds like a Nine Inch Nails song can't get started.
I can't get this one.
It's a small turnover.
My closer is not turning over.
I don't know what happened.
It's in a downward spot.
Oh. turning over. I don't know what happened. It's in a downward spot. And there's just
that movie trope of like, it's like the Lost Boys where every subculture gets together
and all acts like they're having fun.
And they're all dancing. Nobody is just standing. There's no bar. Everyone is just dancing everywhere.
Inside, outside, everywhere. And then even dancing is, I think his name is Logan, the meth guy that Alyssa Milano's
character Margot is into, and he just looks so funny dancing by himself.
Like, it is so absurd.
He's so poorly cast.
I don't know what I was supposed to think of him.
Am I supposed to find him attractive?
Then why does she?
I think he's supposed to be a bad boy.
Right, but so is Mark Wahlberg,
and I can see how people would find Mark Wahlberg attractive.
Sure, for sure, for sure.
You know what I mean?
Was he just wearing a gross wig?
His teeth were great, which I remember thinking,
this is not meth-y.
It was 96, so that hair is probably pretty spot on.
You think that was his hair?
I think that was his hair.
I don't know. It was think that was his hair. Oh no.
It was definitely his goatee.
Oh.
Oh.
We're doing back to back weeks of facial hair
that I cannot get with.
Uncontrable facial hair.
Uncontrable facial hair.
I mean, that's just the 90s.
The 90s were just a decade of uncontrable facial hair.
Disgusting.
Yeah, I mean, like.
Soul patch.
White dudes and prince beards
Yeah, just a lot of like I mean
I am a chin strap victim of the 90s
I know if you want to see it you can go back to watch our very first video
You can see a photo of Alan with a chin strap beard
It's funny. Yeah, it's classic. It's nice classic my face
So, yeah, they're dancing up the storm.
And Mark Wahlberg comes over to Reese Witherspoon and is like,
He like steps from behind a pillar, which I hate.
That's a dude you throat punch and run away.
Because he's stealthy.
You don't want to be with a dude who's stealthy.
Katie said step from behind a corner.
My fist came up and I was like, oh, just throat punch and run.
He was like, I'm just sitting here.
I've been just sitting here for 20 minutes.
But she does not throat punch.
No, she's like, and again, and again, you're just like an adult.
And I'm like a child. That's so hot.
And then something happens.
A fight breaks out.
So there were already helicopters overhead, though.
So like the fight did not provoke the raid.
So the fight had nothing to do with anything then.
It was just a-
Coincidental?
It seemed to be the catalyst for getting people running,
and then the cops came in and mayhem started.
I guess.
And so Mark Wahlberg takes-
Her name is Nicole.
We'll call her Nicole.
Because Reese Witherspoon has a lot of syllables for me.
I feel like I'm gonna throw just S's where they shouldn't be and it's just going to go
bad.
So Nicole and, I'm sorry, his name is?
David.
David's girl.
Because ownership has changed hands.
Oh, God.
I mean, this movie is a cautionary tale.
About what?
About who not to date.
No, it's that, but it's also like,
I don't know what the movie's point of view is
because nobody does the right thing ever.
Like, the only person who's close to doing the right thing,
I think, is Laura.
But she also tells Reese Witherspoon she looks like a slut,
which would like never work in your relationship with your stepdaughter.
For how sensitive and useful she is the rest of the movie, she just wouldn't say that.
This movie is a look at real people if they were all just a little bit worse than they
actually are.
For sure.
This is almost like a suburban dystopian version
of the 90s.
It's so like, it's so, there's so much malaise
hanging over everything that everyone does.
It's true.
There's also a cautionary tale about when Mark Wahlberg
starts kissing you on the cheek
by dragging his lips up your cheek.
Don't turn your mouth towards him. No. Again, throw a punch. Throw a punch. Later he's making eye
contact with her dad while he's kissing her on the forehead, but it's almost like
he thinks her forehead is gonna open up. It's not gonna get any bigger, you know
what I mean? He's just open mouth, like lips just inches apart, making out with
her forehead, and if someone does that to you,
you uppercut them immediately.
So like right now we have twice you should have
punched Mark Wahlberg.
Exactly.
It's almost like he's just trying to get all of his teeth
under her head.
Yeah, like if he just unhinges his jaw a little bit more,
he can get it to the back.
The taking of Reese Witherspoon.
Oh, that movie. Wow, that was a long time ago. What was the taking of Reese Witherspoon. Yeah. Oh, that movie. Wow, that was a long time ago.
What was the taking of Reese Witherspoon?
Deborah Logan.
No.
Deborah Lucy Reese Witherspoon.
That's why we can't say her name.
Nicole.
Nicole.
I also have the...
So they go to this amusement park.
Fair, whatever it is.
Sure.
This scene was like seminal for so many girls my age.
Too much.
He's staring at her.
Pre-rollercoaster ride.
Or no, on the rollercoaster, but pre-
Orgasm.
Pre-digital manipulation.
He's looking at her and licking his lips
like he's fucking LL Cool J.
I know.
And I'm like, calm the fuck down, dog.
You are so gross right now.
Genuinely think that he saw LL Cool J do that and was like, that's my thing now.
Yeah. Yeah. Like reggae.
That's my thing now.
Everything else that I've stolen from black culture, I'm taking LL Cool J's lip licking.
Do you like how they had to have his parents be back East
because he could not drop any part of that accent to be in this movie
that takes place in the Pacific Northwest.
I'm from Seattle. It's a wicked pisser. I like your hair.
I could come over afterwards. Afterwards.
I gotta go park the car. I'm from Seattle. No, there was no vocal coaching going on to
fix that.
Wait, we're skipping over the conversation they have where he talks about finding the car in the junkyard and it was so they're so cold and alone.
And she's like, that's me. I'm the car in the junkyard.
Was the car so horny for you too?
I guess. And then he says to her, I rewound it to make sure that I didn't get this wrong.
He says to her, I've been told that if something seems too good to be true, it probably isn't. And she's like, uh-huh.
What? Yeah, he says it probably isn't. And I even
put on the subtitles just to make sure. That's what he says.
I hate that. I hate it too. But like, she's like, okay, sure.
That's not that I feel.
She just sees abs.
She's just hearing abs and seeing abs.
Man.
Whatever.
That guy's underpants have been on the side of a bus.
Great abs.
For sure.
Wonderful abs.
I'm sure he has a great ass. So they go on this roller coaster ride after he wins her a peace pipe.
That's another thing.
It's like...
Chekhov's peace pipe?
Chekhov's...
It doesn't even need to be that.
It could have been anything.
No, it had to be the gift that he gave her.
It doesn't.
It truly doesn't.
She stabbed somebody else with an umbrella earlier.
That would have been fine.
Why didn't he like win her a Snoopy? I know. It truly doesn't. She stabbed somebody else with an umbrella earlier. That would have been fine.
Why didn't he like, win her a Snoopy?
That's when she wins someone out of fair.
A fucking fake ass peace pipe.
She was like, awesome!
I swear.
Let's go finger on a fucking roller coaster.
I'm so excited.
So excited.
I hated this scene with every fiber of my being.
Man, it was very, very crucial for a 15-year-old girl.
Oh, I have no doubt.
My only note about the rollercoaster scene is what man wrote this.
Yeah, it's true.
It's true because it's like you're misinterpreting the time that it takes.
Well, also, he puts his hand on her knee and she just grabs his hand with both hands and jams
it into her clutch.
Yeah, that's what ladies do, especially 16-year-old girls who are very timid.
Timid?
Seven and...
Oh my god.
I just hate it.
But I can understand at 15, I was fucking watching Porky's at 15.
That's what dating's like.
I guess, but he also like, every part of that scene makes you uncomfortable, right?
But every part of watching him talk makes me uncomfortable too.
Because he's like a gross Mr. Rogers.
He's like saying shit like, every part of you tastes so good.
But he's saying it in Mr. Rogers voice, like a,
I'm just a guy who's just trying to say this
stuff and I'm just so nice to you other guys I like that shut up like shut the
fuck up like why did we do this movie I'm sweating
this is my fault I want to meet your family
I wanna meet your family. And then Laura wants to fuck him.
Of course she does.
Yeah.
This is also the, at the county fair, whatever the fuck they're at, is the first time we'd
see him do his signature move.
Oh my god.
Set the watch back.
It's just, like, I can see how it would work in that one situation where it's Nicole's
watch. You can't do it on a clock in someone's house, which he does later.
Especially when that man has been staring at a computer on a time crunch.
And has a watch.
Yeah.
Yeah, those computers have a little clock up in the corner.
They still do. They still do. Right there.
Yeah.
I fucking hate him so much.
And also like later in the movie,
after Nicole has been out all night, her dad wakes up and looks at his watch real quick and
I had this moment of just like, what if David had reset it again? And he thought it was like 6 p.m.
Like what if David is just going around fucking up everybody's circadian rhythms for the rest
of their lives? Because that is a good prank. Oh, this is my note about roller coasters. This is
such a weird old man fantasy couched in a bad metaphor because it's exactly what it
is.
A hundred percent. Yeah. Yeah. So mom and dad are going out of town. They're going
up to Vancouver. They go to that hotel that they stayed in that one room.
Does that seem like a good time to leave your teenage daughter?
Yeah!
They're worried about this guy.
Yeah, yeah, but you gotta trust her, right?
No.
I don't think so.
Multiple times during this movie, I thought to myself,
oh, I'm real glad I never had kids.
Yeah.
I would be a real big dickhead.
God, I would be a dickhead.
Yeah, no, I don't know. I'm glad you didn't, but I'm very glad that never had kids. Yeah. I would be a real big dickhead. God, I would be a dickhead. Yeah, no, I don't know.
I'm glad you did, but I'm very glad
that I did not have kids.
So you're not gonna beat up Lucy's shitty boyfriends,
or no? Oh, I 100% will.
Yeah, so it's the same digs.
So I like the idea of Lucy having a shitty boyfriend
and we're like, this is our friend, Alan.
It would not be the first time I was used as a threat
against somebody.
That's horrible.
I would never do that to you.
Cause what if they hit you?
Then I'm gonna have to hit them
and then Lucy's gonna be mad at me.
It will be the most Bloomfield thing we could do.
It's true, spill out into my street.
So now they know where I live.
They already did, Tom Savini lives there.
So, mom and dad are going out of town.
Laura says, hey, just order some Domino's, hang out, rent some movies.
And of course I wrote Domino's.
Ugh, avoid the noise.
Laura, do you want everyone to have diarrhea or just them?
Why don't you just make them get Pizza Hut?
God.
Oh man, that is diarrhea city.
It's gross. It's gross.
I'll eat it occasionally.
Oh sure.
I'll fuck with it.
I just have to be prepared for the aftermath.
So she gives a Mark Wahlberger call and he's apparently going out on a drug run.
I could come by after Woods.
After Woods.
I wrote it down.
A-F-T-A-W-O-O-D-S.
After Woods.
Okay, just use the code.
It's 1-1-2-2-4-4.
No one will ever figure this out.
So they have, okay yeah, check off's code.
They have a very advanced security system.
They have, I mean for it being, what, 1996.
Sure.
Her father has designed the house himself.
Everything is reinforced.
They have cameras, they have codes.
They have a security guard at a gate.
Oh yeah, Larry.
He doesn't do shit though, does he?
No.
Because nobody, he never stops anybody.
No, they should have gotten LL Cool J
from that Halloween movie.
Yeah, I liked him in that movie.
With writing his sexy stories.
A big, beautiful melons.
Melons.
Melons.
Do you think that if you had this extremely complex security system that a single code
would open the door to your home?
Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
Really?
Anybody could just walk up.
Oh, okay.
Okay, good.
We're just making sure.
We're making sure.
Just the same way that if you think you might lose your virginity tonight, you're just going
to go to sleep and possibly have your boyfriend wake you up and drool all over your goddamn
face.
You would not be asleep. That's all.
He comes into the house. First of all, why is Kaiser outside? Bring that goddamn dog in the house.
Honestly, he's tied up outside. It was such a bummer.
Um, because everybody's in bed. So he goes upstairs and just starts
wryfling through her shit and that's when he finds the daddy's girl's bracelet.
Why, why does she have that? You know what? I'm so glad to be married to someone and have
had a daughter with someone who would never give her a daddy's girl bracelet. He would
be like, oh, that's gross. Especially in 2019, I feel like the word daddy is just ruined
on some level. Even in 1996, I think it was already pretty
well ruined. Yeah.
Well, yeah, the Mac Daddy gonna make you jump, jump.
Yeah.
Daddy Mac.
Daddy Mac also.
Here to four.
Christopher Cross.
Esquire.
So he rifles through his shit, strips down naked, undresses, or pulls the covers back,
and they just start going to the bone zone.
I'm like zero for play, come on Wahlberg.
And she also like, I think that anything that's good
about Nicole in this movie is the result
of Reese Witherspoon being a good actor.
Yes.
Because she has this moment on her face of like,
do I want this?
And I feel like that wasn't written.
I feel like she was just like, you know,
she played that in a way that seemed really realistic. And I feel like she's't written. I feel like she was just like, you know, she played that in a way that seemed really realistic.
And I feel like she's doing the best she can.
Sure, and she was like 20 when they did this movie.
Yeah, I think so.
And looks like she's 13.
She looks like a baby child.
Yeah.
So like, there's that like part of you
that just wants to protect her.
Yeah, she looks very innocent.
She has that baby face.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big round baby face.
Big round baby face. Big round melon face.
And this is where the note has, after he says, I love you to her, which I have the note,
this fucking guy.
Honestly.
And then thank God for the cutaway because they like start fucking and then the cut just
cuts away. Yeah.
I was like, thank you.
I, please.
Because she's a child, a literal child.
I don't, and I don't want to have to watch him fake make love to somebody.
Or watch Mark Wahlberg finish.
Sorry to anyone who was eating.
There's no way at this point in time, he didn't yell, feel it, feel it.
I mean, were you him?
You would too though, you would.
You would do that for the rest of your life.
Mark, are you jerking off?
You just yelled, feel it, feel it.
I know what you're doing.
I'm just watching the news.
I could come by afterwards.
I love how Sylvester Stallone is. I'm sorry, I'm not good at this.
No, I love...
Hey, old Capel!
You're right.
I'm doing Stallone.
I'm doing Stallone and now Mark Wahlberg.
Fuck.
So, cut to he's picking her up from school because he's her daddy now. Oh!
Ah!
And he sees Gary.
Love Gary.
Gary's the only pure character in this movie.
Oh, fucking Gary.
He just, Gary just getting friend zoned or whatever,
like hanging out with these two hot babes
who are like, oh, Gary, you have an old man's name.
You know?
He looked like somebody, but I couldn't figure out who he looked like. He just had a vibe
to him.
He had that 90s vibe. Every cute guy in the 90s isn't the hot guy.
Felicity would have dated him at some point.
Totally.
So, he sees Gary give Nicole a hug, Mark Wahlberg does. Runs out of his car and just whips the shit out of him.
And hits Nicole in the face, knocking her to the ground.
Giving her a black eye.
And she's like, get away from me.
And he's like, why?
Dude, even if you hadn't just beaten up her friend,
you hit her in the face.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
Even if you had done the, I'm gonna do this
in the biggest finger quotes I can, the right thing by keeping this guy off of her.
Sure.
He fucking knocked her on the ground and gave her a black eye. So she's mad.
Why, Nicole?
Oh my god.
It's a brutal beating.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is where I have my first note. Oh, he's not acting.
This is just what he does.
Stomping dudes.
So I'm gonna get out of the car and beat his ass? No, you were going to talk to him.
Am I?
No, I guess not.
I guess not, Marcus.
Oh, man.
And...
Did we see like Nicole and Gary talking about it later?
Gary's okay, which does not seem right.
Gary should probably be in the hospital.
He's got a strong core.
And she's like, I'm just so incredibly confused.
If I'm Gary, I'm like, you are not my friend anymore.
Don't you think?
Yeah.
She's like, I'm like upset about my boyfriend.
Yeah.
Your thug just beat the shit out of me.
I don't remember what this was,
but I have sick Travis Bickle reference.
Oh, I think Gary calls him-
Gary calls him Travis Bickle,
because Gary's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He watches fucking Scorsese movies. Oh, I think Gary calls him. Gary calls him Travis Bickle, because Gary's cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He watches fucking Scorsese movies.
Yeah, I like Gary.
Even calls him Scorsese.
Is that what you're supposed to call him?
I don't know, I think that's just what
us pretentious folk call him.
You know what is the thing I don't think
I've ever said his name out loud,
and I don't foresee a situation in which I ever will, so.
Oh, you're talking about Cuisinart?
Oh man.
It's a word that looks fine written down, and then when you say it, it turnsinart? Oh man. It's a word that looks fine written down
and then when you say it, it turns my stomach.
Oh man.
Cuisinart.
Scorsese.
A recent Twitter interaction I had
was with a podcast host of a fantasy football podcast
who is from Pittsburgh and he people were
writing him because there's a player named Will Fuller and people are like why do you
say Will Fuller instead of Will Fuller? How would you say F-U-L-L-E-R? Fuller. Fuller.
Fuller. Fuller. Fuller? I don't know. Dawn. But he was like, I literally don't hear a difference.
And I was like, I don't either.
Don, Don.
I don't hear a difference.
How is it?
It's F-U-L-E-R.
Fuller.
Like fool?
You're asking me, but I'm an unreliable narrator in this situation.
So what was your interaction with this guy?
Oh, I was just like, he was saying that people were like, why do you say this?
And he was like, because I'm from Southwestern Pennsylvania.
And I was like, I don't hear a difference.
And I also told him about Don Don. And he was like, Yeah, I get it. He was like, my
wife says the same thing.
Spokie of Twitter. Fuller. You reposted on the Werewolf Amulets account a picture of
pumpkin head. It's like a behind the scenes shot of pumpkin head It's like a behind-the-scenes shot of pumpkin head doing something with the last starfighter on a motorcycle
And it's he's all pumpkin head except for a fucking pair of Nike trainers
He looks great and my mind was blown because I never realized that pumpkin head was naked until I saw him with shoes
He has like a tiny little ding dong too
I zoomed in on it
I think uh
Yousef from why I hateies was like a little cold there
in Pumpkinheadland.
Yeah, that is, but I was just like, Pumpkinhead was naked the whole time.
Yeah.
Because right now he's dressed like a 70s porn star in his sneakers and nothing else.
It's like in Daniel Tiger, why does Mom Tiger wear pants and Daniel and his dad don't?
It makes me so mad. That is really a bummer. Well, Well, she gets to our pants and not a skirt. That's true. I feel like that's a progressive
It's a great show and it has great. I'm not it's just why why does she wear pants and nobody else?
That's all in the potty episode. Daniel just hops his ass right up there and takes a dump. You know what I mean?
My life is falling apart, send help.
So you're saying, Mom Kennedy was naked so they gave you potty training?
Yeah, yeah. It's called the oh crap potty method. It's a real thing. You just don't
put diapers on your kid for an entire weekend until they get tired of peeing and pooping
on the floor. I was like, I don't think I'm going to do that.
It works really well for people.
I just don't think it's going to work for me.
Can someone please do a video of Lance Henriksen body training pumpkin?
Look if we're going to get revenge, I'm going to need you to either use these pads or use
the toilet.
You don't have pants on!
You have nothing to pull down!
I've set up a disposable turkey tray over there just to go into your business.
Just do a dump in there.
This is a weird tangent.
That picture just rocked me to my core when I saw it. Yeah.
Do you like the things that I go onto our account to retweet?
Because you must get notifications from him and be like,
what is Katie doing now?
I love it because I don't add a Twitter and I'm just like,
thanks, you're nice.
And that's my response to everything.
You're sweet, thanks.
And you're actually funny.
Sometimes I just get in there and just like roll around in like the stupidity of it all.
Oh man, it's the best.
Yeah.
Twitter.
It's the best.
Anyway.
So we go back to the after school bar.
Marky Mark is now sad because he's been dumped, so he's in a bar listening to his own music.
It's a lot less hoppin' that day, probably because that music is on.
It's true.
So we're in the bar and he's...
There's just more bush playing. That's my only note of him being in the bar.
Yeah, more bush.
And then it cuts to his home.
He's got a mugshot of himself on the wall?
Next to photos of him and Nicole.
That's a little weird.
Just tiny photos right now.
Yeah, it's um... Oh, right now it's just like photo booth...
A strip of photo booth photos.
But there's also just a man sleeping with a gun
in the front room.
And then there's like a guy just like holding drumsticks
so we know that he loves to play drums.
And then we walk into the next room
and see Logan playing pool
because he just loves to play pool.
Of course, yeah, yeah.
And then we get this weird line about how like,
when Logan's dad gets back,
we're all gonna be out on our asses
and you need to start thinking about that.
Why do we care?
This house is ruined.
Logan's dad, Logan is 40.
Logan's dad is gonna be so mad at you.
You're not gonna get away with this.
It's a big, beautiful house we see from the outside.
You're going to jail.
Yeah, what were you thinking?
Also, at times we're to believe that they're like
Drug lords like there's there's there's something bigger going on cuz no one sleeps in the front of the house the fucking shotgun
If you're not worried about someone busting into your drug den, I think they have a meth lab is my guess
But no one's cooking I've seen Breaking Bad.'s got to be making it. What does that mean? Someone needs to be cooking the meth that
doesn't cook itself. Well, like, is it an active process?
It's not a sit it and forget it situation. I didn't know. I literally don't know. I've
never seen Breaking Bad. And to be fair, I've never made meth. They don't really cover that
on the Great British Bake Off either. So why don't you fill me in on how to make meth?
It's a labor intensive process. It seems like they don't have the dedication
for that kind of thing.
I would assume that they've got like a pot grow
thing going on in the basement or something.
Yeah, because that's not, I mean, like, I guess it's 1996.
But later, Nicole's dad is like, they've
got a whole cartel in there.
So I didn't know what that meant.
I feel like there was the whole drug thing,
and they must have filmed it,
but then just cut it out of the movie.
Because why make the movie make sense?
Yeah.
Yeah, they don't seem to have the dedication
and or the know-how to do anything
as labor intensive as making meth.
Right.
But yeah, the dude is just sleeping there with a gun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And we see them smoking meth later, don't we?
Something, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, God.
I mean, it's not weed.
They're not just smoking weed.
They would be so much nicer if they were just smoking weed.
This movie would be so mellow. Yeah.
Yeah, it's got to be meth.
It's got to be speed or meth or what if those two things are different.
I guess you can smoke speed, huh?
You can do anything you want to.
I don't, Alan.
1995, 1996, you can do whatever you want to. I don't, Alan. It's 1995, 1996.
You can do whatever you want.
The world is an open book for you.
The world is an open book for everyone.
So Nicole's super bummed out because her boyfriend beat her up.
Yeah, and then she had to break up with him.
And he seems so nice.
So Laura is comforting her and, oh.
Laura, in this scene like they're in their bedroom
and they hear Nicole sobbing and Laura like smiles
like this is an opportunity and I was like come on lady,
don't smile at the sound of your stepdaughter sobbing.
Her pain is my time short.
Break your heart, you know?
But I think it's that thing of like oh her first love,
she's just gotta get over it.
I guess, but she does have a black eye that Laura has helped her cover up with makeup.
Yeah, let me help you cover that up was one of the saddest things that happened in this
movie.
Especially after she had just criticized her for wearing too much makeup.
Like, oh, is she a slut for covering her black eye too, Laura?
And then, without her in the room, criticizes her for wearing too much.
At least she doesn't look like a slut now.
Yeah, she was like, I didn't say she was a slut, I said she looked like a slut.
Like, that's not OK.
That's not OK.
Oh my god.
Let's not have the slut semantic argument, Laura.
But then Laura is presented as the only character
who understands her and who wants to help her through.
That's what I'm saying.
No one is doing the right thing.
No one is a sympathetic character.
No one is right.
No one is right in this movie at any point.
Do you remember what the advice Alyssa Milano gave her was that I just had the note, oh
my God, she's terrible at giving advice. I think it was like go back to him or something.
Oh, it's something about like, sometimes hitting you is how they show you they love you or
something.
That's what it was. Jesus Christ.
Yeah. Yeah, Margo's pretty it was. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Oh.
Yeah, Margot's pretty one-dimensional.
But in that scene where Laura's comforting Nicole, Dad walks in and finds the Trojan
wrapper, and he's immediately so pissed off.
Sure.
No, not sure. I don't know.
It's a very 90s dad trope.
He's screaming at her about how now she can't go anywhere
without him knowing.
But not telling her that he found the condom ring.
Right, just like turning on her for no reason.
Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
Oh, man.
We are not even like, I feel like we're this movie.
Oh, wow.
We are really far into this episode.
Let's fast forward.
All right, one quick thing.
I have a kids.
Kids.
Do do do do do do do.
If a guy says I would kill anyone that hurt you,
that's a red flag.
Get away from that person.
Yeah, that's not romantic.
No.
No.
But you can see how that would be compelling
to a teenage girl.
Oh, sure.
You just want everything to be huge.
Yeah, dramatic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think that the movie does a good job of explaining to you why she goes back to him.
Sure. Yeah.
I mean, saying that, I had definitely said that to people I was dating.
Oh, did you?
I was a red flag child. Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, not a good dude.
Luckily, no one has ever cared for me enough to say that to me, so it's fine.
We get the kissing while staring at dad that we talked about.
We get him getting into a confrontation with dad and then punching himself in the chest.
Can you hear that? That's me punching myself in the chest.
It's so funny.
Dropping F bombs at dad.
Yeah. Oh, man, it's so dumb.
Wait, I just want to be clear that if you haven't
seen this movie, he's punching himself to tell Nicole
that her dad beat him up.
To tell the cops?
No, he doesn't tell the cops.
Yeah, because the dad's trying to press charges.
No, wait, what?
And some, wasn't it the cops that were like,
I saw the bruises that you put on him?
No, Nicole says that.
Oh, it was Nicole?
All right.
Wait, isn't she a cop?
There are a lot of points in this movie
where he could have called the cops and didn't.
Right, not until it's too late.
Yeah, yeah.
But like, yeah.
Like he talks to some guy in his office who's like,
well the state can't keep him away from your daughter.
But like, if you've been in his home,
he trashed your car, you've been in his home,
and you've seen that there's like drug,
whatever would lead you to believe they have a cartel. And he hit your daughter and he's
menacing her in the mall when there's a witness to it because that woman walked into the bathroom
right after you can call the police. Sure. I know the police are like a problem, but
not for rich white people in Seattle in the 90s. It's just they're not, you know. That was their time to shine. Right. More Bush.
Is this movie sponsored by Bush?
I believe so.
And if you want to know more about that, you can watch our YouTube video for this week.
It's pretty funny.
Brought to you by Gavin Rossdale.
Yeah.
And also I was making fun of him.
So we get the scene where Nicole sneaks out of the house and drives to the trap house,
which is just what I'm going to call their drug den now, and sees through the window
Alyssa Milano either grinding or fucking on—
Yeko.
Yeah, shitty Jonathan Davis, which is like—
Shitty shitty.
And then being taken away and sexually assaulted by Mark Wahlberg.
And she's mad at Margo.
There is no way to watch that scene and not think of my friends and Charles.
How could you leave if that had just happened?
How could you not go in there and help your friend?
How could you not see that as her being in trouble?
Like I don't get that at all.
On some level, I'm like, yes, that's the way that a 16-year-old brain works.
I don't think so.
Because Margo's screaming and crying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's her friend.
If you see your friend screaming and crying, you intervene.
Or you at least don't blame them.
It's awful.
At least go outside and break somebody's windshield
so they have to run outside and end whatever's happening.
Right.
There's the chase scene where he beats up Margo.
Yeah.
Margo just...
It goes on forever, that chase scene.
Can we talk about him giving himself the tattoo?
Nicole forever.
That's also a joke we used to make a lot when we were teens.
To be specific.
We used to say to each other, forever.
Number four, EVA.
EVA.
Why not go for the ER?
You've already written her whole name.
I can get the number four.
I'll allow it.
Sure.
Ever?
Like I get you're from Boston.
I know that I referenced Prince already, but you know, the whole I would die for you, that
all thing where he was throwing numbers and letters in.
I just don't think that David is a Prince fan. Uh, but he carves it into his chest with a knife
and then just rubs ink into his chest.
Is that how tattoos?
You can tattoo yourself that way.
Forever or does it eventually grow out?
Not forever. Forever.
Why did I walk into that?
So, that's where I have the note, fuck this turd.
And then he hunts down Gary and kills Gary.
Just snaps his neck.
This led me down a internet k-hole of trying to find out if you could actually do this.
Snap someone's neck like that.
It's really hard to do for an adult to do it to another adult.
So he murders Gary.
He breaks his fucking neck, which is so silly. Because he hugged Nicole again, I think.
Yeah, and he was a good friend to her. I guess. He was just trying to be solid. Then he trashes
her dad's cool cool car and he writes a note that says now I popped both your cherries, but he puts an apostrophe in cherries.
Did you notice that? There's no need for an apostrophe in it. Who wrote that?
Is that meant to imply that David is stupid or was that a genuine mistake?
Because I believe either.
The cherries have ownership.
So dad's pissed, understandably.
His chair has been popped.
So he goes and breaks into David's trap house.
Both of his cherries have been popped because he also owns his daughter.
So daddy's girl.
And finds a shrine to his daughter,
which has one of my favorite ridiculous things
in this movie.
Tell me.
There's a Chucky doll in the shrine.
Yeah.
I thought you were gonna say her face over Jesus,
because that's also in the shrine.
But I was like, what's the Chucky doll?
And when David comes back and finds all of his shit ruined, what does he pick up?
The Chucky doll. The Chucky doll.
Do you think they were like, no, no, no, this is a horror movie.
See, we know about them.
He also has like a family portrait where he has like George Costanza style removed
the dad from the picture and put himself in,
which is like hard to do in 1996.
There's a whole Seinfeld episode about it.
So the drug thugs come home and he's like.
He's trashed their house.
Yeah, he's trashed the whole drug, the whole trap house.
The one guy sits down at his drums, which are all trashed,
and he's so sad.
How is that character not named Sticks?
I don't know, he's so sad.
And he is not with them at the end
when they go to the house, I don't think,
or if he is, he runs away real quick.
He's the one who gets his hand drilled
and has to go to the hospital.
Oh, that's him, if you don't mind then.
And then Logan is holding a broken pool cue
and he's like, but I love to play pool,
it's all I love.
It's like, dad found all their most precious things. They're Chucky dolls. They're drum
sets. And he took all the pictures of his daughter because she's his and he could take
his property back.
Right. This whole movie is about who owns that child.
So then we get to the straw dogs portion of this movie, which if you've never seen is
a Sam Peckinpah movie and Sam Peckinpah hates women.
Oh. Don't, donpah hates women. Oh.
Don't bother watching it.
Okay.
But it's very similar to this of like
a couple is in a house and their house gets invaded
by these people and they have to like home alone
their way back out of it.
Oh gosh.
There's lots of boiling water on the stove
and throwing it out the window in people's faces.
Oh.
So they kill Kaiser.
Yeah, this is like the thing This is like a the thing I
remember most from this movie. This little head coming through the door.
Yeah, Toby blowing the dog whistle and shoving the dog's head severed head through the window.
And Toby just stands over it with like this totally blank expression on his face, which is
what I think is gonna is like step one down a bad path for Toby.
You think this is his coming up out of the blood
and the descent moment?
I do.
Well, yeah.
I mean, here's what happens to Toby.
He looks at the murdered dog with nothing on his face.
He runs over a man with a car with nothing on his face.
And then he picks the handcuff keys off the murdered security
guard with nothing on his face. If you think that handcuff keys off the murdered security guard with nothing on
his face. If you think that killing that man in the garage is the, it's certainly the first
time Toby is killed, but I do not believe that it will be the last. Like that kid is
fucked. And I feel like they were intending that because they don't have him react to
anything. And we've seen him only to this point as like a sweet kid.
Yeah. Yeah. He's fucked. There's going to be a sequel just called Toby.
I would actually like that fear too. And it's Toby like years later,
having not received therapy. Yeah.
Just dextering all around killing people.
Laura drills a dude's hand into the door, which I really liked.
So they're doing all these things to like,
try and fight them off with just household items they have.
Eventually it breaks down
because the thugs just start murdering people.
Yeah.
They murder the security guard.
They're gonna murder dad.
Yeah.
Marcus Mark murders Logan.
Right.
Because he was trying to rape Nicole,
which like, how was that any part of this plan? I like, but also like, Laura's like, you build this house, every window and every
door is reinforced. And then Nicole like gets an umbrella and breaks a window and pushes
the guy off the roof with it.
Also what are you doing that you got to do that to your house?
He's an architect. That's it. Right. You have a security guard. You know what I mean?
You're normally not doing bulletproof glass.
Also, Larry had two guns.
Did you notice that?
Yeah, he was great.
What?
I love Larry.
Larry was like, this is my one time
to be fucking six sling, like whatever,
six guns slinging Larry.
Dad and Marcus Mark get into a knock them out,
drag them out.
This is why it had to be a peace pipe, is because he says, you will forever hold your peace, Sorry. Dad and Marcus Mark get into a knock them out, drag them out.
This is why it had to be a peace pipe is because he says, you will forever hold your peace.
And then she stabs him with a peace pipe. Yeah.
Oh, because this is their wedding.
Yeah. All of a sudden it gets very marital.
It just turns into the end of Beetlejuice.
But without any of the charm. Toby calls 911.
Nicole never helps in a fight.
Anytime there's a fight going on, she goes, uh, uh, uh.
Well, she does stab Marcus Mark with a peace sign.
Eventually.
Oh, man.
Wait, you know what just occurred to me?
Go.
This movie makes kind of a big deal about how David is manipulative
and believable. Like you can see why people would fall into his trap, which means he's
done this before.
Sure. I think they alluded to that when they were talking about him being in the foster
system and continually getting kicked out of houses until he just gets kicked out of
the system.
But like, so every time a woman finds him out for what he is, which is a psychopath,
does this happen? Do they go to their house and kill them? Or his friends like, listen,
we can't do this again. We have other projects and we're putting ourselves at risk.
That's why he has to kill all of his friends in this one. So the next one, it's a whole
resettle fund. Another Jonathan Davis, another drum guy.
Another drum guy. We got a two bug guy, that's not gonna work. So then they're having this big fight, Dad and David,
and Dad throws David out of the house through a window
onto like three stories down.
Yeah.
This is very satisfying.
It is very satisfying.
And this is also the end of the film.
Yeah.
There's no wrap up.
The credits roll.
David said, what you need to wrap up? I don't know. Maybe any of these relationships
in the family that were broken by this experience. What are we going to talk about? Feelings
now? And that's fear.
That is fear. I'm real sorry. I'm glad Missy didn't watch
it with you. She would have been mad at me. She probably would have been.
Yeah. I like rewatching it. I was like, please don't let Missy be watching this.
Ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Katie.
Alan.
You wanna go to the ratings, please?
Sure.
You wanna go first?
Sure.
I'm gonna give this movie a seven.
What the heck?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
You are dumb!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
It's really well directed.
It is.
Every actor but one is really good in this movie.
Absolutely.
And I was tense.
I was feeling it, especially during the home invasion part because you know that's my shit.
Yeah, I know.
And it was really well handled.
Yeah.
Because they kept doing stuff.
They kept being like, all right, move that over and do that and do this.
And they like kept it going, which I was really, they didn't just like get up and cower or
anything like that.
No, it's true, yeah.
I had a really fun time watching this shitty movie.
Oh my God, you loved Fear.
Oh my God, Alan loved Fear.
Write it down, everybody, write down the date.
It is October 9th, 2019, and Alan loved the movie Fear.
I really did enjoy it, yeah.
Holy shit.
That's not where I expected this to go.
I thought I would throw you for a loop with that, yeah. For me, it was having seen it as a young person and thinking it was like good and thoughtful
and then seeing it as an adult and being like, who is this written for and who is this written about?
It's for men.
And 14 year old girls.
What is the theme for them? Like your daddy owns, daddy, listen to your dad. he's always right and he owns you.
Yes.
But he does so many things wrong.
In the end, he's still the saver of the family.
But even when they come to the house, they wouldn't have done that if he hadn't trashed
their house.
For sure.
And when they say that to him, his wife's like, Stephen, what did you do?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So no, he's not always right.
But the fact that the movie ends with his triumphant victory over David, I think is
sending like the like, Dad's always right.
Even if Dad fucks up.
Four.
But I really did love this movie with back to back with cruel intentions.
And if you're gonna have like a dramatic teen movie night, those two are your go tos.
You need some sweatpants.
I am literally wearing sweatpants as we record this.
You're gonna need some kettle corn.
Yeah.
Boxed wine?
Boxed wine, which also, here we are.
Katie.
Alan.
Can I take you to a little place that we like to call?
Mailbag!
Please.
This question is from Server Monkey on Instagram.
Hi, Server Monkey.
Server Monkey asks,
how do you not get burnt out recording?
I've helped with a top five podcast
and we're hitting a wall in the third year.
Y'all make it look sound so easy.
One, drugs.
Oh, so many.
Oh my God.
Two, candy. Uh-huh, uh-huh. I thought that was the drugs. Oh, so many. Oh my God. Two, candy.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
I thought that was the drugs.
Eat.
Oh no, I have been making meth up here,
but I guess I've been doing it wrong
because I was doing it a little sudden, forget it.
Like I just put in a coffee pot.
Is that not right?
Is that not right?
With just a little burner underneath of it.
Yeah, it's right, it's just there.
Yeah, that's smelling.
Yeah.
You eat.
Maybe we should turn it off.
I think it's in all sincerity, this is really fun for us.
Yeah.
And we made a vow at the very beginning that if-
We would do this until we were dead.
Yes, with the caveat that as soon as it stops being fun, we stop doing it.
Yeah, if this stops being fun for us, we're going to nuke it into the sky and fuck every
last one of you.
Like if it just doesn't come out one week, know that it stopped being fun. Know that neither of us died. We'll let you know if one of us we're gonna nuke it into the sky and fuck every last one of you. Like if it just doesn't come out one week, know that it's not gonna be fun.
Know that neither of us died. We'll let you know if one of us dies. We're fine. We just
didn't want to do it anymore. But now they're on edge because they think this could end
at any time. I'm having fun.
Yeah, I have a great time doing this.
Great.
Also, if that top five podcast is getting boring, dog, we're in. Let's do this.
We'll take number five if that's what it is. We'll take six even. Hell, what? Top five
what?
Where's the ratings? Where is everyone?
What do you think we're rated?
I don't know. Are we Joe Rogan?
I was under the impression that you were.
I doubt you'd still be doing this.
No, that guy's gross. People like him whatever, I'm sorry.
Not for me. Not for me.
Uh, Katie. Alan.
What are we doing next week? By popular demand, by Twitter poll, we gave
them Shutter Island or Seven. Thank you for choosing Seven.
I've never seen Shutter Island. I hope to never see it again.
Which interestingly, both of these movies are about, in finger quotes,
pretty actors who are not great actors.
So, but overwhelmingly you guys picked seven.
So, so seven in.
So seven in.
So seven in.
That'll be seven next week.
Oh, brother.
I don't remember the 90s being so bleak.
I mean, it rained every day in New York, I guess.
Wait, we have to get into that next week and figure out where it's raining at.
But it's not New York?
I don't think so.
Where is it?
I think it's LA.
It doesn't rain in LA!
I know, but they immediately drive into the desert to be in the movie.
Oh, fuck, you're right!
There's no deserts in New York!
What am I talking about?
Oh my god, join us next week for seven.
Thanks for listening to another episode of We're- Oh wait, T-shirts, T-public.
T-public.com backslash user backslash werewolf ambulance.
You can buy our designs, all done by Justin Graham.
They're just amazing.
And you can get them printed on anything. T-shirts, pillows, I don't know what else.
A Buick?
A Buick.
That's really expensive though, so like really think it through.
Really think it through which design you want.
It's a conversation starter.
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah, find us on the internet, talk to us.
Yeah, but also we gotta do seven right now, because I am so upset at myself.
Thanks for listening to another episode of Werewolf Ambulance.
Bye.
Bye.
