Claus and taking over his role. But soon, Jack discovers

00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:56.310
even the best laid plans of mice and skeleton men go, seriously, awry.
18
00:00:57.229 --> 00:01:00.109
Awry. I don't know.

00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:09.920

Rated PG. Hour and 16 minutes here for, according to Google.
23
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:15.959
And it's a family slash fantasy film.
24
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.180
There we go. There we go. It's awesome. This is
25
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:25.090
just a fun movie. I almost want to say, like,
26
00:01:25.469 --> 00:01:28.299
as I was watching this. Mm-hmm. And I was just
27
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.280
trying to think, like, this may be the first, like,
28
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.680
musical that I liked. Like, an actual, like, musical.
29
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:39.540
Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of music and a
30
00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:40.540
lot of singing in this thing.
31
00:01:41.219 --> 00:01:44.519
And not counting, like... Because I don't consider, like, the
32
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.560
Disney movies musicals, right? They're singing a little bit in that.
33
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:57.090
But I would consider this more like a musical because it's... story, music, story, singing, right?
34
00:01:57.170 --> 00:01:59.200
There's a lot of singing that goes on in this,
35
00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:03.060
more so than I would say your traditional Disney princess
36
00:02:03.099 --> 00:02:04.560
movie or something like that, right?
37
00:02:04.939 --> 00:02:06.459
Interesting. I never thought of it like that, but yeah,
38
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.560
it's a musical. And if it is, and it's going
39
00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:10.259
to be classified that way, this is the only musical
40
00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:12.909
I like, and I watch it every single day in October.
41
00:02:12.930 --> 00:02:13.889
I already watched it today.
42
00:02:14.590 --> 00:02:17.750
And do you watch this in December as well?
43
00:02:18.449 --> 00:02:22.629
Yeah, it's actually, to me, this is a Christmas movie. I.
44
00:02:22.870 --> 00:02:24.409
You know, I was going to ask you that question
45
00:02:24.710 --> 00:02:30.289
because it shows up on pretty much all like Halloween lists. Right.
46
00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:33.360
But it does show up on the Christmas list too.
47
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:35.939
And some people are like, well, it's both. And I'm like,
48
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.719
I don't necessarily consider it. Like to me, this is
49
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.840
a Christmas movie. This isn't a Halloween movie. Like the
50
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.539
first five minutes is Halloween. Right. He just finishes up
51
00:02:46.580 --> 00:02:50.400
Halloween and then all of his focus goes to Christmas. Um,
52
00:02:50.699 --> 00:02:54.000
and it's all revolving around that. Now it was released
53
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:59.960
just before Halloween. Um, Halloween, it takes place in Halloween town,
54
00:03:00.539 --> 00:03:04.080
all of that fun stuff. But like, to me, this
55
00:03:04.180 --> 00:03:07.120
is more along the lines of a Christmas movie than
56
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:08.280
it is a Halloween movie.
57
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.610
Yeah. I would say it's Christmas. Santa Claus is in
58
00:03:11.650 --> 00:03:14.729
it for Christ's sake. Yeah. But I like that. It's both.
59
00:03:14.789 --> 00:03:17.169
And it's, it's kind of a, it's a great, it's
60
00:03:17.189 --> 00:03:19.219
a great, If you think about it, yeah, you get
61
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.819
to watch this twice for the Christmas season and the
62
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.259
Halloween season. It's genius. Yeah. Yeah, I love this movie.
63
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:29.039
It's a must watch for me. It's great. I love
64
00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:30.780
the story. I don't mind the singing. They have the
65
00:03:30.819 --> 00:03:32.990
little sing-along version on Disney Plus, too, so you can
66
00:03:33.009 --> 00:03:35.370
watch that or whatever. I like Pop and Knowledge. You've
67
00:03:35.389 --> 00:03:37.629
never seen it on Freeform or whatever. What the hell
68
00:03:37.650 --> 00:03:42.590
was Freeform before it was that? Was it ABC Family?
69
00:03:43.669 --> 00:03:45.509
I think so. Something like that. It was something else
70
00:03:45.530 --> 00:03:48.810
before Freeform. It was something else before

that. But, yeah, no,
71
00:03:49.050 --> 00:03:50.550
I like that kind of stuff with these movies they'll
72
00:03:50.569 --> 00:03:52.289
put on there, and they'll have some, like, you know, whatever.
73
00:03:52.330 --> 00:03:53.990
But then they have the, like I said, they have
74
00:03:54.009 --> 00:03:56.509
the sing-along version, which is hilarious. But, yeah.
75
00:03:56.569 --> 00:03:58.830
Well, that takes you back to VH1 pop-up.
76
00:03:58.550 --> 00:03:59.289
Video, right?
77
00:03:59.330 --> 00:03:59.449
Yeah.
78
00:03:59.669 --> 00:04:01.849
Pop-up video was great. It was so great.
79
00:04:02.610 --> 00:04:04.990
And to me, like, right out of the gates, like,
80
00:04:05.050 --> 00:04:07.050
it starts with This Is Halloween. And let me just
81
00:04:07.069 --> 00:04:07.770
tell you right now, that.
82
00:04:07.669 --> 00:04:09.550
Song's a banger. I was going to say banger. I
83
00:04:09.550 --> 00:04:14.060
was like, that damn thing's a banger. That song is
84
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:15.120
so great.
85
00:04:15.340 --> 00:04:19.750
It's definitely on Tom's playlist because every song on it's
86
00:04:19.790 --> 00:04:21.670
a banger. He just lets it play and this would
87
00:04:21.709 --> 00:04:22.410
definitely be on it.
88
00:04:23.009 --> 00:04:25.930
I like the hard rock cover. The metal cover of
89
00:04:25.970 --> 00:04:28.709
that song. It's so damn good. There's some heavy metal
90
00:04:28.730 --> 00:04:31.689
bands that do a little cover of that. They get
91
00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:33.000
down with it, man. It's great.
92
00:04:33.180 --> 00:04:39.649
I bet. This centers around Jack Skeleton. He's the Pumpkin King. Um,
93
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.000
and he's just kind of bored with Halloween. He's just like,
94
00:04:42.019 --> 00:04:45.079
you know, it's just, it's the same, same every year,
95
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.120
every year. And he's just trying to figure something out.
96
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.699
And he ends up in Christmas town. He's going on
97
00:04:49.740 --> 00:04:53.120
a walk with his dog. Zero, uh, finds Christmas town.
98
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.100
He's just like, and what's this? That song is great too.
99
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.339
Like running around Christmas town. And besides, you know what?
100
00:05:00.939 --> 00:05:04.139
We're doing Christmas. We're, I know someone else does that,
101
00:05:04.180 --> 00:05:07.779
but it's our, it's our holiday now. Um, and yeah,
102
00:05:08.769 --> 00:05:11.069
that that's kind of what they, the whole thing's about.
103
00:05:11.290 --> 00:05:13.310
And it's, it's a quick turnaround for them because they've
104
00:05:13.350 --> 00:05:17.379
got to do it between the end of essentially November.
105
00:05:17.819 --> 00:05:19.800
They've got a month, a little bit over a month
106
00:05:19.819 --> 00:05:20.560
to get ready for this.
107
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:20.860
Right.
108
00:05:22.899 --> 00:05:27.420
You've got the boogie boys, you know, they're, they're pretty,
109
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:28.459
pretty great. Yeah.
110
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.560
Boogies, boogies, kids. One of them's a chick.
111
00:05:30.939 --> 00:05:31.180
Yeah.
112
00:05:31.420 --> 00:05:34.040
Catherine O'Hare, you know, she plays shock and she's also
113
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:37.060
the voice of Sally. And then Paul Rubin is Locke.
114
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.360
You've got sally who she cracks me up because all
115
00:05:45.379 --> 00:05:48.399
she's trying to do is kill her the scientist the
116
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:54.230
doctor who created her creator her creator uh she just
117
00:05:54.250 --> 00:05:56.529
gets this vibe that you know she's a flower and
118
00:05:56.569 --> 00:05:58.649
it kind of wilts it grows a christmas tree and
119
00:05:58.670 --> 00:06:01.050
wilts and she's like jack this crap's gonna go wrong
120
00:06:01.069 --> 00:06:03.509
he's like yeah okay cool cool make me a costume
121
00:06:03.790 --> 00:06:05.449
I need you to make me a Santa Claus suit, okay?
122
00:06:05.769 --> 00:06:07.480
I hear what you're saying, but I need the suit.
123
00:06:07.889 --> 00:06:16.279
Yeah, look here. Daddy needs a suit, okay? And then,
124
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.370
you know, it all happens. Jack ends up doing Santa,
125
00:06:19.790 --> 00:06:24.029
and it just all goes wrong. He's giving kids shrunken heads.
126
00:06:24.689 --> 00:06:27.209
They don't know about presents. They don't know about presents,
127
00:06:27.230 --> 00:06:28.430
the right presents.
128
00:06:28.709 --> 00:06:31.769
They're doing Halloween, but they're doing it for Christmas, right?
129
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.279
Um, these things are like terrorizing the house, eating the snake,
130
00:06:35.339 --> 00:06:37.259
eating the damn tree and all that kind of stuff.
131
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.319
I mean, it's a military's going after him. He's got
132
00:06:40.339 --> 00:06:41.740
the military shooting at him.
133
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:47.459
Um, they're celebrating. It's just a little close down there, buddy.
134
00:06:48.750 --> 00:06:51.990
He almost hit us, but it's a fun movie. Like
135
00:06:52.509 --> 00:06:57.389
I really enjoy this. Um, it's one that I, I
136
00:06:57.449 --> 00:06:59.970
watch again. I watch it in October. I watch it
137
00:07:00.009 --> 00:07:04.040
in December and, I'll watch it a couple more times
138
00:07:04.139 --> 00:07:06.639
this month and I'll watch it a few times in December.
139
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.439
You know, it's just, it's a, it's a fun movie.
140
00:07:09.550 --> 00:07:12.730
I love the, they do the stop animation with this,
141
00:07:13.329 --> 00:07:16.870
you know, which that in and of itself is like
142
00:07:16.910 --> 00:07:19.870
a big undertaking. It took them three years to make
143
00:07:19.910 --> 00:07:20.389
this movie.
144
00:07:20.670 --> 00:07:21.069
Jesus.
145
00:07:21.939 --> 00:07:25.079
Just because of how long it takes. Jack skeleton
had
146
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:26.720
over 400 different heads.
147
00:07:26.540 --> 00:07:27.139
That they used.
148
00:07:28.899 --> 00:07:31.819
Just one minute of animation would take an entire week.
149
00:07:32.230 --> 00:07:33.790
Whoa. Holy crap.
150
00:07:34.269 --> 00:07:37.339
Because it's, you've seen, again, let's just go ahead and
151
00:07:37.660 --> 00:07:41.980
reference Parks and Rec again. When Ben, he loses his
152
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.420
job and he gets really into stop animation. He's like,
153
00:07:45.459 --> 00:07:47.620
I've been working on this for weeks. He's like, let
154
00:07:47.660 --> 00:07:49.189
me show you what I got. And it plays and
155
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.509
it's like five seconds. He's like, what am I doing
156
00:07:52.529 --> 00:07:54.870
with my life? He's wearing his letters to Cleo shirt.
157
00:07:56.410 --> 00:07:57.610
It's all about the cones.
158
00:07:57.709 --> 00:07:58.470
The cones.
159
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.720
He's underrated in that damn show. He's great.
160
00:08:04.939 --> 00:08:08.709
When he does the Treat Yourself Day, and he gets
161
00:08:08.750 --> 00:08:12.550
the Batman costume, and he's just like, you know what?
162
00:08:12.610 --> 00:08:19.810
I do feel better. He's eating a pretzel, Annie's pretzel.
163
00:08:19.870 --> 00:08:22.129
This movie is actually available to watch in theaters around here.
164
00:08:22.329 --> 00:08:24.529
It's over in Grapevine, and I think there's a couple
165
00:08:24.569 --> 00:08:28.569
other places or whatnot that I saw that was playing 3D. Frisco, Grapevine,
166
00:08:28.589 --> 00:08:30.850
and a handful of others. I watched it in the
167
00:08:30.870 --> 00:08:33.970
theater when they did the 25th anniversary, if I'm not mistaken.
168
00:08:34.710 --> 00:08:36.690
Lizzie and I went and saw it in 3D. I
169
00:08:36.690 --> 00:08:38.230
was like, I never saw it in 3D before. I
170
00:08:38.309 --> 00:08:39.110
was like, it's pretty cool.
171
00:08:39.570 --> 00:08:39.830
Yeah.
172
00:08:39.950 --> 00:08:41.789
I mean, it's a little bit, you know, pumpkins as
173
00:08:41.809 --> 00:08:43.389
they're flying all over the place and whatnot.
174
00:08:43.509 --> 00:08:43.789
Right.
175
00:08:44.029 --> 00:08:47.000
So, but yeah, no, I mean, it was cool in
176
00:08:47.009 --> 00:08:48.820
the theater. She liked it. You know, I've been watching
177
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:50.500
this since it came out. This is like 1993. I
178
00:08:50.549 --> 00:08:52.679
was talking to you about it earlier. It was like
179
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:54.559
Hocus Pocus and this came out the same year. You
180
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:57.179
know what I mean? And I was like, this is great.
181
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:58.779
I go, this is like, this is, I'm right at
182
00:08:58.840 --> 00:08:59.580
the perfect.
183
00:09:00.450 --> 00:09:04.960
Perfect yeah this is this this this is good um
184
00:09:05.049 --> 00:09:10.080
and disney actually thought it was too scary for kids
185
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:15.519
so it was released under the um where was it
186
00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:18.779
at i just had it um under the disney touchstone
187
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.019
pitchers banner rather than just being a main walt disney
188
00:09:22.059 --> 00:09:25.370
pitcher oh there you go just because they just considered
189
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:27.169
it too scary too scary for kids.
190
00:09:27.470 --> 00:09:30.129
Yeah i mean it's kind of I'd say if you
191
00:09:30.149 --> 00:09:32.730
were a small child, you'd probably be like, eh, we're
192
00:09:32.750 --> 00:09:33.590
not going to watch it.
193
00:09:33.629 --> 00:09:40.080
But I think the music helps, though. Because when you're
194
00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:42.220
a little kid and you've got singing in it, that's
195
00:09:42.940 --> 00:09:44.000
what attracts.
196
00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:46.700
Kids to start to really kind of watch it.
197
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:48.490
Yeah, disarms them a little bit. There you go.
198
00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:52.720
Well, IMDb 7.9 out of 10. Voodoo slash Fandango is 4.6
199
00:09:52.720 --> 00:10:00.600
out of 5. So we've got some pretty high score there.
200
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:02.360
What do you think Rotten Tomatoes is?
201
00:10:02.980 --> 00:10:07.169
I mean, again, my litmus test in my bar now
202
00:10:07.250 --> 00:10:09.049
is Nightmare on Elm Street's a 93. So this is
203
00:10:09.110 --> 00:10:13.309
like a 150. I don't know. I had it right here. 95.
204
00:10:13.309 --> 00:10:18.590
95. Okay, okay.
205
00:10:18.620 --> 00:10:20.929
You know what? They scored it higher than Nightmare on
206
00:10:20.970 --> 00:10:22.100
Elm Street, so I'll take it.
207
00:10:23.169 --> 00:10:25.429
There's not a lot of films ahead of Nightmare on
208
00:10:25.889 --> 00:10:27.309
Elm Street, I'll tell you that.
209
00:10:27.549 --> 00:10:31.450
There's not, which to me is just insane. We might
210
00:10:31.470 --> 00:10:34.259
have to play that game one day. We're going to
211
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.259
pull up some good movies and be like, was this
212
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.879
rated higher on Rotten Tomatoes than Nightmare on Elm Street?
213
00:10:39.940 --> 00:10:43.980
I think that could be fun to do. But yeah, 95? Yeah, 95.
214
00:10:44.620 --> 00:10:47.340
I support that 95. I could see it being higher.
215
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:54.409
And again, it's just over an hour. So it's a quick,
216
00:10:54.970 --> 00:10:59.769
fun watch. It's good. You watch it with the whole family.
217
00:11:00.230 --> 00:11:00.509
Love it.
218
00:11:01.230 --> 00:11:04.240
It really is. It's a great movie. Love it. And
219
00:11:04.250 --> 00:11:06.299
like you said, you're going to classify this thing as
220
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:07.960
a musical. Yeah, this is the only musical I like then.
221
00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:09.870
How about that? Or maybe, you know what? I liked
222
00:11:09.889 --> 00:11:12.669
The Wizard of Oz back in the day. That's a musical,
223
00:11:12.730 --> 00:11:12.909
isn't it?
224
00:11:12.929 --> 00:11:14.929
Yeah. You know what? Now that you mention it, yeah.
225
00:11:15.009 --> 00:11:15.460
The Wizard of Oz.
226
00:11:15.460 --> 00:11:18.840
So I've got two. I've got two musicals that I liked. Okay.
227
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:23.259
Okay. There's a couple that I like, but, you know,
228
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:25.399
this is right there at the top of that list,
229
00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:25.840
I'd say.
230
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.759
I love this movie. Yeah, I watch it every October.
231
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.379
You know, I put it in the rotation or whatnot,
232
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.090
daily rotation, actually. And then, yeah, I watch it again
233
00:11:35.110 --> 00:11:37.450
in Christmas, around Christmas time, because to me, this is
234
00:11:37.470 --> 00:11:38.029
a Christmas movie.
235
00:11:40.610 --> 00:11:43.090
The Nightmare Before Christmas is a perfect mix of Halloween
236
00:11:43.110 --> 00:11:46.750
scares and Christmas cheer. Directed by Henry Selick and featuring
237
00:11:46.789 --> 00:11:50.870
the imagination of Tim Burton, this stop-motion classic brings Halloween
238
00:11:50.929 --> 00:11:55.840
town to life with incredible animation, unforgettable characters, and fantastic
239
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.340
music from Danny Elfman. Jack Skeleton's attempt to take over
240
00:11:59.419 --> 00:12:03.820
Christmas delivers plenty of laughs, chaos, and surprisingly heartfelt moments.
241
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:07.740
From Oogie Boogie to Sally and Zero, every character adds
242
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.799
something special. More than 30 years later, this movie remains
243
00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:14.360
a holiday classic that deserves to be watched every Halloween
244
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.870
and Christmas. Boom. Yeah. There we go.
245
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.360
Huge thumb up. I'll watch it tomorrow.
246
00:12:20.580 --> 00:12:20.840
Yeah.
247
00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:21.759
Thumbs up.
248
00:12:22.659 --> 00:12:24.620
I might watch it when we're done here. I don't know.
249
00:12:24.659 --> 00:12:27.009
We'll see what's going on. But yeah. What do you
250
00:12:27.029 --> 00:12:29.490
guys think about The Nightmare Before Christmas? Is it a
251
00:12:29.750 --> 00:12:32.509
Christmas movie? Is it a Halloween movie? Or are you
252
00:12:32.549 --> 00:12:33.110
just like, you know what?
253
00:12:33.309 --> 00:12:33.870
It's both.
254
00:12:34.549 --> 00:12:37.179
It's the best of both worlds. It's I don't know.
255
00:12:37.860 --> 00:12:40.460
Maybe it is the Hannah Montana of Halloween and Christmas.
256
00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:43.360
But you let us know down in the comments. As always, guys,
257
00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:43.799
I'm Alan.
258
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:44.519
I'm R.D.
259
00:12:45.210 --> 00:12:46.529
We'll talk to you later. Deuces.
