Angus part 2

WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:02.439
So we were just talking about commercials, and I know
2
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:04.440
I do a lot of ad reads at the beginning,
3
00:00:04.459 --> 00:00:07.280
but I wanted to just talk about ad reads for
4
00:00:07.299 --> 00:00:10.859
a second because I think that there was a moment
5
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:14.240
where I was like, oh, commercials have died because Netflix
6
00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:19.010
and DVDs didn't really have commercials. Although some DVDs, there's
7
00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:22.890
two kinds of DVDs that have previews. Some DVDs will
8
00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:25.050
make you watch the previews when you put in the
9
00:00:25.089 --> 00:00:26.809
disc and it's not possible to skip it.
10
00:00:28.149 --> 00:00:28.449
In fear.
11
00:00:29.500 --> 00:00:32.399
And I love, there's two versions of that. One is
12
00:00:32.420 --> 00:00:35.100
the DVD, this is like more modern, will connect to
13
00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:40.359
the internet and play relevant trailers for like current movies.
14
00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:43.189
But the old version is it would always be a
15
00:00:43.229 --> 00:00:46.109
snapshot in time. So you would always, like if you
16
00:00:46.149 --> 00:00:51.770
wanted to watch the DVD for, I don't know, you know,
17
00:00:51.850 --> 00:00:56.490
like Armageddon, and it came out at the time of
18
00:00:56.789 --> 00:00:59.280
How to Lose a Guy, the DVD came out At
19
00:00:59.299 --> 00:01:00.659
the time How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
20
00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:02.899
came out, you're watching that trailer for How to Lose
21
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:04.750
a Guy in 10 Days every time you ever want
22
00:01:04.769 --> 00:01:05.569
to watch Armageddon.
23
00:01:06.250 --> 00:01:06.609
Yeah.
24
00:01:07.129 --> 00:01:13.010
That's amazing. But now we have in our screensavers for
25
00:01:13.030 --> 00:01:15.810
our TVs are commercials. You just had a Candy Crush
26
00:01:15.849 --> 00:01:20.359
commercial as your screensaver on your TV. The Roku screensaver
27
00:01:20.420 --> 00:01:24.400
is like it just pans over this cartoon cityscape, which
28
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:26.700
I was fine with. But then they started putting commercials
29
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.280
in it. So like in the cityscape that's just cartoon
30
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.140
panning around, you would see like a Burger King or
31
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.260
something in the skyline. And there was a story that
32
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.280
came out. People are very, very mad at the gaming
33
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.219
companies for a lot of reasons. Like you don't own
34
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:47.230
games anymore. You just sort of are like if you
35
00:01:47.269 --> 00:01:50.430
buy a game for $ 70, you're just long-term renting it
36
00:01:50.530 --> 00:01:52.900
until the company decides to take it away from you.
37
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.159
But a new thing that came out is while you
38
00:01:55.180 --> 00:01:57.819
were playing, Sony, I don't know if this is a rumor,
39
00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:01.260
but I saw online today that Sony is planning to,
40
00:02:01.859 --> 00:02:04.359
while you're playing a game, like in the middle of
41
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.939
a cut scene or whatever, there'll be a break for
42
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.939
commercials while you're playing the video game, which has never
43
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.729
happened before in the history of video games. And that
44
00:02:13.830 --> 00:02:19.129
is disgusting. Like, disgusting. These companies have no shame. I
45
00:02:19.650 --> 00:02:20.949
hate it. I hate the world we live in.
46
00:02:21.969 --> 00:02:25.280
It's the same thing with Amazon Prime that drives me insane.
47
00:02:25.310 --> 00:02:29.819
You pay for that subscription and there's still ads during
48
00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:33.020
stuff with them. I don't get that at all.
49
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.139
We can't go on a rant again about why physical
50
00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:39.280
media is great and how you buy a movie on
51
00:02:39.340 --> 00:02:41.520
Comcast and you own it forever or until you get
52
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.939
rid of Comcast. I can't get into that rant again.
53
00:02:45.909 --> 00:02:48.770
But this podcast episode is brought to you by nothing.
54
00:02:49.389 --> 00:03:13.639
Fuck you. Buckle your shoes. Oh, Ryan, correction on that.
55
00:03:13.979 --> 00:03:17.120
I just got an email. This podcast is actually brought
56
00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:21.039
to you by McDonald's, General Electric, and Raytheon.
57
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:22.199
Whoa.
58
00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:28.300
All wonderful sponsors that I appreciate. Love you guys. So
59
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.090
thank you for that.
60
00:03:31.069 --> 00:03:33.810
They'll send you a spray bottle for the cat. They'll
61
00:03:33.830 --> 00:03:34.270
send you one.
62
00:03:34.569 --> 00:03:39.349
They'll send me something. Welcome back. We're continuing to talk
63
00:03:39.409 --> 00:03:43.830
about Anjus. Is that how you pronounce it?
64
00:03:43.849 --> 00:03:45.449
Yeah, Anjus.
65
00:03:46.389 --> 00:03:49.030
Krangus. That's what I kept telling in text to Ryan.
66
00:03:49.169 --> 00:03:55.370
I always said Krangus. I'm not trying to trash Bridget,
67
00:03:55.530 --> 00:03:58.009
but I remember a Bridget moment that infuriated me. Keep
68
00:03:58.069 --> 00:04:01.770
in mind, like, I'm 14, she's 19. So we're both stupid.
69
00:04:01.830 --> 00:04:03.870
This was a million years ago. And I don't think
70
00:04:03.909 --> 00:04:08.289
Bridget would be this close-minded. But I remember Bridget said,
71
00:04:08.370 --> 00:04:11.280
without knowing anything about the movie, said to me, because
72
00:04:11.289 --> 00:04:13.860
I had it on VHS, I think I bought it
73
00:04:13.900 --> 00:04:16.480
at Suncoast Video at the Natick Mall, only you would
74
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.240
like a movie called Angus. And I was like, what
75
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.759
the hell does that mean? And she said, obviously a
76
00:04:21.779 --> 00:04:25.040
movie that's called Angus is stupid and bad. And I
77
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.620
was so infuriated at the time. I was 14. I'm like,
78
00:04:29.430 --> 00:04:30.870
You know nothing about this.
79
00:04:33.009 --> 00:04:33.790
So, yeah.
80
00:04:35.329 --> 00:04:37.350
There's a lot of reasons why this movie was not
81
00:04:37.389 --> 00:04:39.990
a financial success. One of them being the name. One
82
00:04:40.009 --> 00:04:43.490
of them being the two stars of the film. But nonetheless,
83
00:04:43.939 --> 00:04:44.310
it's great.
84
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.769
Do you remember seeing commercials for it when it was
85
00:04:46.810 --> 00:04:48.379
coming out? Yes.
86
00:04:48.699 --> 00:04:51.500
Because there's a line that's coming up that was in
87
00:04:51.620 --> 00:04:52.300
every single trailer.
88
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.829
Yeah. I remember them dancing. Troy and Angus dancing when
89
00:04:57.850 --> 00:04:59.610
they were like practicing in his room I remember that
90
00:04:59.629 --> 00:05:01.050
was a big thing in the commercials.
91
00:05:01.290 --> 00:05:03.920
And I just said to Shannon cause Shannon's not tapped
92
00:05:03.980 --> 00:05:05.879
in on movies but she's tapped in on 90's movies
93
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.959
especially high school movies and she was like oh yeah
94
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:11.579
Angus that vaguely sounds familiar and I said you know
95
00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:14.139
who's the villain and she said who James Van Der
96
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.699
Beek and she was like oh James Van Der Beek
97
00:05:16.889 --> 00:05:24.250
love him Rick Sanford so Angus was just elected homecoming
98
00:05:24.310 --> 00:05:27.329
king Winter ball king. I'm going to say homecoming because whatever.
99
00:05:27.350 --> 00:05:29.990
It's the same thing. As a joke, as a prank.
100
00:05:30.149 --> 00:05:34.230
And Ryan, the monsters in my class, the sociopaths in
101
00:05:34.269 --> 00:05:37.550
my class in high school, this actually happened in my
102
00:05:37.589 --> 00:05:37.970
high school.
103
00:05:38.870 --> 00:05:39.230
Really?
104
00:05:39.629 --> 00:05:45.350
Yes. It was, I believe, freshman year. And I would
105
00:05:45.430 --> 00:05:47.329
never do– there was a girl in my class who
106
00:05:47.410 --> 00:05:54.490
was very unfortunate looking. She was kind and she was normal.
107
00:05:54.990 --> 00:05:59.209
She would talk. She wasn't like a complete introvert, recluse weirdo.
108
00:05:59.250 --> 00:06:01.680
She was like a normal personality. But she happened to
109
00:06:01.709 --> 00:06:06.339
be very unattractive. And we'll pretend her name is Teresa.
110
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:12.439
It wasn't. But Teresa was elected homecoming queen freshman year
111
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.199
along with some loser guy that everybody thought was a dork.
112
00:06:16.939 --> 00:06:20.740
And my class did it as a prank. And then
113
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:24.910
the way that the faculty reacted– is without discussing it
114
00:06:24.949 --> 00:06:28.300
with the class, without announcing anything, like, on the day
115
00:06:28.339 --> 00:06:31.459
of homecoming, they just went to a couple, like a
116
00:06:31.500 --> 00:06:35.259
known normal couple that were dating at the time at Marion,
117
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.240
and said, like, you guys are homecoming king and queen.
118
00:06:38.420 --> 00:06:41.389
And they said, okay. And then they, like, never addressed
119
00:06:41.430 --> 00:06:45.610
it again. So they didn't actually have to.
120
00:06:45.649 --> 00:06:46.810
Probably a good way to handle that.
121
00:06:47.329 --> 00:06:48.649
That's a good way to handle that. They didn't have
122
00:06:48.689 --> 00:06:52.990
to suffer the embarrassment of actually, like, Being paraded because
123
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.310
there's literally a homecoming parade where we would make floats.
124
00:06:57.029 --> 00:07:00.290
They would be paraded as a mockery of like, wow,
125
00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:02.009
what a loser you are. You're going to be in
126
00:07:02.029 --> 00:07:04.209
this parade so we can all laugh at you. What
127
00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:07.939
the fuck is wrong with 14-year-old people?
128
00:07:09.259 --> 00:07:10.000
Kids are mean, man.
129
00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:15.519
And this was democracy. Like the election happened and the
130
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.220
Rick Sanford in my class, it wasn't really– there wasn't
131
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:19.839
really a Rick Sanford. It was more like a collection
132
00:07:19.860 --> 00:07:22.540
of people. They said, everybody vote for this. And everybody
133
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.199
was like, oh yeah, this is really funny. I certainly
134
00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:27.759
fucking didn't. There was no fucking way I was going
135
00:07:27.779 --> 00:07:33.790
to vote for Teresa in The Loser Kid. But they won. So,
136
00:07:34.910 --> 00:07:37.970
if Bridget listens to this, she's going to be really upset.
137
00:07:38.310 --> 00:07:41.769
Because she texted me, like, what happened to Fat Bitch Holly?
138
00:07:42.410 --> 00:07:45.040
During the Breakfast Club podcast? Because it talked about how...
139
00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:47.800
that the overweight girl in the locker next to mine
140
00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:49.899
was relentlessly bullied and was called a fat bitch. And
141
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.040
her name was Holly. Bridget was like, what happened to
142
00:07:52.060 --> 00:07:53.839
fat bitch Holly? I go, I don't know. I haven't
143
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:54.240
seen her.
144
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:58.480
And hopefully she, uh, yeah, she moved on to better things. Yeah.
145
00:07:58.540 --> 00:08:01.360
I haven't seen her in 26 years. So I said
146
00:08:01.379 --> 00:08:03.839
to Bridget, she's probably dead. That's what I said.
147
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:04.180
Wow.
148
00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:10.000
Uh, so Angus says to Troy, there is absolutely no
149
00:08:10.050 --> 00:08:12.250
way I'm going to this dance. I know what they're doing.
150
00:08:12.589 --> 00:08:14.810
This is a prank. Cause Rick Sanford is an asshole. Uh,
151
00:08:15.149 --> 00:08:17.269
And Troy says, you have to go to the dance
152
00:08:17.410 --> 00:08:20.250
because you literally will get to dance with Melissa. The
153
00:08:20.290 --> 00:08:21.930
homecoming queen have a dance.
154
00:08:23.670 --> 00:08:25.870
I like this. I like that Troy does this. I do.
155
00:08:26.069 --> 00:08:27.250
I really like this. Yeah.
156
00:08:27.750 --> 00:08:30.879
And Angus says, he's trying to rationalize. He goes, maybe
157
00:08:31.019 --> 00:08:33.259
Melissa will view the dance with me like a trip
158
00:08:33.299 --> 00:08:37.860
to the dentist. Uh, which was the perfect analogy for this. Uh, like,
159
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:39.779
you know, you gotta do it and it's not fun,
160
00:08:39.820 --> 00:08:44.600
but it's fine. I'm not going to freak out about it. Um, Well,
161
00:08:44.620 --> 00:08:44.899
go ahead.
162
00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:48.120
Go ahead, Ryan. I like the line, because it plays
163
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.120
into later, where Troy's like, you have to do, you
164
00:08:52.139 --> 00:08:54.019
have to do. He's like, are you kidding me? Melissa's
165
00:08:54.059 --> 00:08:58.429
probably puking her guts out somewhere. Yes.
166
00:08:59.110 --> 00:09:03.629
Very good, Ryan. Foreshadowing. Very good. Angus is doing homework
167
00:09:03.649 --> 00:09:05.470
in his room, and he has a framed picture of
168
00:09:05.509 --> 00:09:09.029
Melissa on his desk. Hmm.
169
00:09:09.330 --> 00:09:11.029
Very 1995. Yeah, very. Yikes. Yikes. Yeah.
170
00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:20.620
And because because Angus says in all these years, I've
171
00:09:20.659 --> 00:09:21.799
never spoken to Melissa.
172
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.019
Yes. Yikes.
173
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.330
Troy gives it shows a picture like her cheerleading photo
174
00:09:30.350 --> 00:09:33.769
to Angus and says, this is your motivation. You need
175
00:09:33.850 --> 00:09:35.850
to you need to be motivated by this to want
176
00:09:35.870 --> 00:09:37.629
to go to the dance to prepare to go to
177
00:09:37.649 --> 00:09:41.610
the dance. And he's like describing her body and saying, like,
178
00:09:41.629 --> 00:09:44.409
look at her tight little stomach muscles. Look at her legs.
179
00:09:44.470 --> 00:09:47.429
And I'm like, hmm, I don't– I'm a little uncomfortable
180
00:09:47.460 --> 00:09:52.539
with this scene. But Troy says, we're going to give
181
00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:55.019
you a makeover. And this is the line that was
182
00:09:55.139 --> 00:09:57.129
always in the trailer. He says, we're gonna turn you
183
00:09:57.470 --> 00:10:00.480
from a large pathetic virgin to a large pathetic virgin
184
00:10:00.509 --> 00:10:01.429
with a new look.
185
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.840
That was a great line uh so.
186
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.159
Grandpa being a great friend he tells grandpa about this
187
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.100
grandpa says why is this so bad and angus is
188
00:10:12.139 --> 00:10:14.399
like i don't know how to dance so grandpa takes
189
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.980
him to dance lessons like pays for a professional to
190
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.820
give him dance lessons and how does that go.
191
00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:26.009
Ryan Rough at first, they meet up with Madame Rolenska.
192
00:10:27.870 --> 00:10:30.549
Grandpa has a history with her from the way that
193
00:10:30.629 --> 00:10:31.590
energy in that room is.
194
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:34.240
Grandpa's the man.
195
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:39.179
And he's describing before they get there about... the Irish swoon.
196
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.120
It's this thing that like, it's this trick you learned
197
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:45.580
to sweep them off their feet. Yes. Uh, Angus has
198
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.659
just got two left feet, not a great dancer. And
199
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.620
they're just like, follow the feet. Like there's like a
200
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.480
little map of how to dance on the floor and
201
00:10:52.539 --> 00:10:57.419
he's just not doing it. And he finally just does
202
00:10:57.470 --> 00:11:00.549
his own thing. It gets a little bit better. And
203
00:11:00.570 --> 00:11:03.350
the grandfather just says, screw them. Just dance.
204
00:11:05.659 --> 00:11:07.289
I think I've said this on the podcast before, but
205
00:11:07.330 --> 00:11:10.110
my roommate, Chris Cameron, who is very, very good with women,
206
00:11:11.549 --> 00:11:14.970
he was always bringing different girls home and having one-night stands.
207
00:11:15.330 --> 00:11:18.210
And I asked him, what is the key? What is
208
00:11:18.230 --> 00:11:20.659
the key to your success? And he said, it's all
209
00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:25.220
irrational confidence. So he's like, I just dance my ass off.
210
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.860
If I'm at a club or at a bar with
211
00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:30.580
music or at a wedding, I dance my ass off.
212
00:11:30.620 --> 00:11:32.639
And I'm not good at dancing. I look like an idiot.
213
00:11:32.970 --> 00:11:35.379
But I don't care. And women love that. And I
214
00:11:35.379 --> 00:11:40.980
always remembered that advice. Confidence is key, as my dad
215
00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:42.000
told you one day, Ryan.
216
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.480
Words I've never forgot. We should also say, Madame Rolinska,
217
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:50.259
played by Rita Moreno, another Oscar winner in this movie.
218
00:11:50.620 --> 00:11:53.419
There's three of them. I did see, okay, somebody's having
219
00:11:53.730 --> 00:11:56.000
a freak out, Yoda, I think. But I did see
220
00:11:56.070 --> 00:11:59.509
three Oscar winners in this movie, and it was Grandpa, Mom,
221
00:11:59.669 --> 00:12:01.190
and Madame Rolinska. I was like, what?
222
00:12:01.909 --> 00:12:02.549
So strange.
223
00:12:03.070 --> 00:12:06.129
So strange. And I also saw Oh, this was the
224
00:12:06.190 --> 00:12:09.570
last ever role of some actor who had been in
225
00:12:09.669 --> 00:12:13.049
Little Rascals. And he plays the priest at the very
226
00:12:13.110 --> 00:12:13.690
end of the movie.
227
00:12:13.730 --> 00:12:14.429
I was like, what? Weird.
228
00:12:16.370 --> 00:12:20.870
Yeah, weird. Anyways, so that goes very, very poorly. And
229
00:12:21.470 --> 00:12:24.409
Grandpa takes Angus to the Tux rental store to get him.
230
00:12:24.429 --> 00:12:26.830
I feel like people don't do this anymore. I feel
231
00:12:26.889 --> 00:12:29.370
like Tux rentals is a thing of the past. I
232
00:12:29.409 --> 00:12:32.049
feel like it's all for weddings and stuff. It's always
233
00:12:32.090 --> 00:12:35.330
you have to buy a suit now. And the logic is, hey,
234
00:12:35.350 --> 00:12:38.789
you know, a tux rental is maybe like $ 100 to $ 200,
235
00:12:38.529 --> 00:12:40.809
but you never use it again. If I make you
236
00:12:40.889 --> 00:12:43.710
buy a suit, it's going to be more. But tuxes
237
00:12:43.750 --> 00:12:46.970
are kind of viewed as like cheesy now. And if
238
00:12:46.990 --> 00:12:48.870
you buy a suit, you'll have it forever. And like
239
00:12:49.169 --> 00:12:51.129
all the suits that I wear to work events are
240
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:52.720
all suits I got at weddings.
241
00:12:53.149 --> 00:12:55.720
Oh, so you have used them again. Oh, yeah. 100%. Really? Yeah.
242
00:12:56.330 --> 00:12:58.549
Because if you have to buy like a black suit,
243
00:12:58.629 --> 00:13:01.200
I think Eric made me buy a black suit. Pat
244
00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:02.960
made me buy a navy blue suit. I feel like
245
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:04.600
I don't really wear a black suit a lot like
246
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:07.639
except for funerals. But navy blue suit, a navy blue
247
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:08.620
suit you can wear every day.
248
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:10.559
Wow.
249
00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:12.279
I mean if somebody makes you buy like an olive
250
00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:15.750
green suit, then that might be a little tough. I
251
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:20.629
made everybody rent the tux because I'm an asshole. But yeah.
252
00:13:21.710 --> 00:13:26.169
So– Uh, so they go to the Tuck's store and
253
00:13:26.210 --> 00:13:28.559
the guy says, who's also a famous actor. Who's this guy?
254
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.159
The guy, the Tuck's store guy.
255
00:13:31.299 --> 00:13:35.179
Um, I, he looked familiar. I don't know. Um.
256
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:40.440
Oh, it's, uh, Jimity Shardadushu.
257
00:13:42.470 --> 00:13:42.799
Yes.
258
00:13:43.970 --> 00:13:48.769
Uh, his name is Perry Enzi Enzalotti. You'd recognize him
259
00:13:48.830 --> 00:13:52.299
if you saw him. He explains, uh, There are no
260
00:13:52.340 --> 00:13:54.500
black tuxes in your size. They've all been rented out. Like,
261
00:13:54.539 --> 00:13:56.379
we have some big and tall tuxes here, but they've
262
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.799
all been rented out. And then what happens, Ryan?
263
00:14:00.100 --> 00:14:06.629
He's like, we have another one, though. And it's a
264
00:14:07.029 --> 00:14:12.909
giant purple suit. No, it's plum. And I love that's
265
00:14:12.950 --> 00:14:13.590
the running joke.
266
00:14:14.830 --> 00:14:17.409
Yeah, because Angus says it's purple, and the tux guy goes,
267
00:14:17.470 --> 00:14:19.980
it's plum. So that's like the joke is to correct
268
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:20.899
someone who says purple.
269
00:14:21.509 --> 00:14:23.850
I actually think this suit looks great.
270
00:14:26.169 --> 00:14:27.389
Yeah.
271
00:14:27.509 --> 00:14:28.629
I thought it looked really good.
272
00:14:30.350 --> 00:14:32.509
He says, Grandpa, everyone's going to be wearing black. And
273
00:14:32.529 --> 00:14:34.950
Grandpa says, you'll be different. Who cares? And he says,
274
00:14:35.029 --> 00:14:36.549
I don't want to be different. I want to be normal.
275
00:14:38.070 --> 00:14:39.840
But they have to get the plum tux because there's
276
00:14:39.860 --> 00:14:43.899
no other tuxes available. And Troy says, we have to
277
00:14:43.940 --> 00:14:47.820
practice dancing. I got you a blow-up doll. Her name
278
00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:48.279
is Wanda.
279
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:48.419
Yeah.
280
00:14:49.409 --> 00:14:52.029
And I'm going to videotape you dancing with her. And
281
00:14:52.090 --> 00:14:53.529
Angus is like, there's no way I'm going to let
282
00:14:53.549 --> 00:14:55.860
you record this. He says, this is what jocks do
283
00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:58.860
when they play football. They watch film. They see how
284
00:14:58.899 --> 00:15:01.659
they can be better. And Angus is like, fine, but
285
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:03.679
you have to promise no one will ever see this tape,
286
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.039
including your mom. And then Troy says, I swear on
287
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.019
my life, no one will ever watch this except for
288
00:15:09.059 --> 00:15:09.419
you and me.
289
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.240
I also love that we never see the mom the
290
00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.779
entire movie. We never see Troy's mom. It's just this
291
00:15:14.870 --> 00:15:18.159
fabled person. I do want to call out Troy's line
292
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.570
in the tuck shop, though. It's like, what do you think?
293
00:15:21.870 --> 00:15:24.190
Put it on a dead guy and bury it, was
294
00:15:24.210 --> 00:15:26.789
the description for the suit.
295
00:15:26.970 --> 00:15:30.169
Somebody says later a great line is, he looks like Barney.
296
00:15:30.549 --> 00:15:35.690
I enjoyed that. So they're watching the tape. Or no,
297
00:15:35.870 --> 00:15:41.850
Angus is dancing with the blow-up doll. Yeah. He's like,
298
00:15:41.870 --> 00:15:43.840
this is weird. I don't want to touch a blow-up doll.
299
00:15:43.889 --> 00:15:46.220
And Troy says, hey, a girl's bod is a girl's bod.
300
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.919
And Angus says, there's more to girls than just their bods.
301
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:53.679
And Troy says, oh, so you like Melissa because of
302
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.679
her grades? Which is a fair point. Angus, you're in
303
00:15:56.700 --> 00:15:59.610
love with Melissa, who's beautiful. Who you don't talk to.
304
00:16:00.490 --> 00:16:01.610
Who you've never talked to.
305
00:16:01.629 --> 00:16:02.429
Yeah.
306
00:16:03.769 --> 00:16:08.639
And he says, I don't know how to describe it,
307
00:16:08.669 --> 00:16:10.549
but whenever I see Melissa, I get a pain in
308
00:16:10.590 --> 00:16:14.590
my stomach. And Troy says you famously, I think this was,
309
00:16:14.610 --> 00:16:16.409
might've been in the trailer too. You got a boner
310
00:16:16.429 --> 00:16:17.159
in your stomach.
311
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.200
It had to have been. I remember when I heard it,
312
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.460
I was like this thing being so memorable throughout the
313
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:22.799
entire movie. Yeah. Yeah.
314
00:16:23.299 --> 00:16:25.860
So did you have a Melissa Lefevre, like a girl
315
00:16:25.899 --> 00:16:28.019
that you were just, you thought she was 10 out
316
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:29.830
of 10 beautiful. You're obsessed with her, but you never
317
00:16:29.870 --> 00:16:31.789
spoke to her in middle school or high school.
318
00:16:32.950 --> 00:16:38.070
Um, yes, but not, not never spoke. Like definitely my,
319
00:16:38.169 --> 00:16:41.470
my game was DNA, which is doing an approach. Um,
320
00:16:42.750 --> 00:16:45.419
But you eventually had to speak to these people. So yeah,
321
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:50.440
but it was never like anything remotely attempting anything close
322
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.159
to this. Yeah.
323
00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:55.740
So my Melissa Lefevre in middle school was Kim Sullivan.
324
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:01.110
Kim Sullivan was a straight up babe. She had like
325
00:17:02.169 --> 00:17:06.250
big lips, big eyelashes, was super hot. Again, it's fucked
326
00:17:06.289 --> 00:17:08.029
up that I'm talking about like a middle school girl,
327
00:17:08.089 --> 00:17:10.750
but this is from my perspective when I was her
328
00:17:10.809 --> 00:17:14.309
exact same age. Please keep in mind. And, um, I
329
00:17:14.349 --> 00:17:16.329
sat next to her, like we had interacted. It's not
330
00:17:16.349 --> 00:17:18.250
like I didn't say a word to her, but I
331
00:17:18.269 --> 00:17:20.210
didn't really say a word to her. And all my
332
00:17:20.250 --> 00:17:21.930
friends knew that I had like the biggest crush on her.
333
00:17:22.769 --> 00:17:24.859
And there was a math class, Mr. Man is math class.
334
00:17:25.339 --> 00:17:27.119
I sat and I happened to, we had assigned seats.
335
00:17:27.180 --> 00:17:28.440
I happened to sit next to her. So I would
336
00:17:28.460 --> 00:17:31.180
occasionally interact with her and she'd be like, Hey, Tim,
337
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:39.619
can I borrow a pencil? And I'd just be like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah,
338
00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:40.369
I have pencils.
339
00:17:40.420 --> 00:17:43.150
Yeah. It's the slow motion scene. It's just all there.
340
00:17:43.170 --> 00:17:44.470
It's right there. It's ready to go.
341
00:17:44.490 --> 00:17:47.450
And I would hand her a pencil and I'd be like, oh,
342
00:17:47.470 --> 00:17:49.509
my God, she's using my pencil. And then at the
343
00:17:49.549 --> 00:17:51.369
end of class, she would say, oh, here you go
344
00:17:51.410 --> 00:17:53.390
and hand it back to me. And I'm like, no, Kim,
345
00:17:53.609 --> 00:17:56.750
you keep this forever. But the last time I ever
346
00:17:56.869 --> 00:17:58.849
talked to her in my life was it was the
347
00:17:58.930 --> 00:18:01.299
last day of eighth grade. and we were in the
348
00:18:01.339 --> 00:18:04.240
front lobby of the school leaving, and I knew she
349
00:18:04.259 --> 00:18:06.339
was going to Neda Kai with everybody else, and I'm
350
00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:09.410
going to Marion, private Catholic school, so I'd never see
351
00:18:09.450 --> 00:18:11.589
her or talk to her again. So I said to her,
352
00:18:11.750 --> 00:18:14.630
and she had to have known, like had to have
353
00:18:14.670 --> 00:18:18.910
known to some extent. We interacted enough. I said to her, hey, Kim,
354
00:18:19.349 --> 00:18:22.099
and I never approached her or talked to her. I said, hey, Kim,
355
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:24.559
it's the last day of school. I'm going to Marion,
356
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:28.990
so I probably won't see you again, and she went like, Oh, okay, Tim.
357
00:18:29.089 --> 00:18:29.430
Bye.
358
00:18:29.509 --> 00:18:31.690
You know, like, cause we're not friends. And then I said,
359
00:18:31.710 --> 00:18:34.970
I don't know if this is weird, but like, could
360
00:18:35.009 --> 00:18:39.390
I hug you goodbye? And she said, yeah, you, you can.
361
00:18:39.910 --> 00:18:41.210
And she gave me like a big hug.
362
00:18:41.549 --> 00:18:41.690
Oh.
363
00:18:42.309 --> 00:18:44.430
And, uh, and I was like, thank you. And then
364
00:18:44.450 --> 00:18:46.779
I just sort of floated out of the school after that.
365
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.920
But the balls on me to ask for that. I can't,
366
00:18:49.980 --> 00:18:52.240
I mean, even at that age, I was like, must've
367
00:18:52.259 --> 00:18:52.819
been terrifying.
368
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:55.059
And for her to just say, sure.
369
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.619
She understood, and she knew I wasn't a bad kid.
370
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:01.779
I was always nice. So she was like, yeah, you can.
371
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:02.920
What wisdom.
372
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:05.529
Wow. Yeah, so appreciate that, Kim.
373
00:19:05.890 --> 00:19:09.109
And then you float out, and they play JAR. That's
374
00:19:09.150 --> 00:19:12.190
the end credits of Krangus.
375
00:19:12.529 --> 00:19:17.839
Krangus, Kennedy Middle School, Krangus. And maybe five, ten years ago,
376
00:19:17.859 --> 00:19:22.039
I said to Eric and Ben, because they went to
377
00:19:22.059 --> 00:19:24.190
middle school with me, I go, I would bet my
378
00:19:24.339 --> 00:19:27.980
life that Kim Sullivan is a hot adult. And I
379
00:19:28.059 --> 00:19:30.359
looked her up on Facebook and I found her wedding
380
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:34.740
photos and she looked fucking amazing. And I was like, yup,
381
00:19:34.940 --> 00:19:36.880
this is what I, she had a lot of tattoos
382
00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:39.400
on her arm. That was the only like maybe surprising thing,
383
00:19:39.420 --> 00:19:42.750
but she looked amazing. And I thought, yeah, that's, that's, yeah,
384
00:19:42.930 --> 00:19:43.430
I could have bet.
385
00:19:43.529 --> 00:19:45.210
Shout out to Kim Sullivan. Yeah.
386
00:19:45.230 --> 00:19:47.890
Kim Sullivan. I know you're listening. Hit me up. I mean,
387
00:19:47.930 --> 00:19:50.269
if your marriage didn't work out, my marriage is, like
388
00:19:50.369 --> 00:19:52.430
kind of going a little south so.
389
00:19:52.750 --> 00:19:57.240
Whoa whoa joe joe schlub please call in.
390
00:19:57.819 --> 00:20:00.680
Oh and also she dated of course this happened she
391
00:20:00.740 --> 00:20:03.640
dated a kid in high school who at least at
392
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.079
the time the rumor was he was like actively on
393
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:10.259
heroin And I thought, why? Why is she dating that kid?
394
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.269
That's not good. She didn't marry that kid, though, so
395
00:20:14.289 --> 00:20:15.549
don't worry. All the Kim.
396
00:20:15.410 --> 00:20:19.170
Sullivan fanatics out there. Okay. Okay.
397
00:20:19.829 --> 00:20:26.720
Okay, we're back. And montage of Angus trying new looks,
398
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.819
trying different hairstyles, working on a science experiment, working out
399
00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:34.910
and practicing his dancing. And go ahead.
400
00:20:34.930 --> 00:20:37.609
Go ahead. I think you're going to this. Go ahead.
401
00:20:37.650 --> 00:20:38.549
The radio segment.
402
00:20:39.690 --> 00:20:40.559
Absolutely hilarious.
403
00:20:41.019 --> 00:20:42.500
Amazing. Can I can I read it? I have it.
404
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:43.900
Please read this.
405
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:44.660
Unless you have this.
406
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:46.140
No, please read this.
407
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:49.759
So I guess it's just like working out and listening
408
00:20:49.779 --> 00:20:51.420
to the radio. And you hear on the radio, the
409
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:54.190
DJ goes, all right, we got the winner for the
410
00:20:54.230 --> 00:20:57.970
Green Day concert. Two tickets. Here we have Rick Sanford.
411
00:20:58.190 --> 00:21:00.150
Tell us how you won, Rick. And then it's James
412
00:21:00.170 --> 00:21:02.089
Van Der Beek on the radio. He goes, well, I
413
00:21:02.170 --> 00:21:04.769
happen to be walking by a phone booth. And at
414
00:21:04.789 --> 00:21:07.430
the exact moment, a car drove by playing Green Day.
415
00:21:07.769 --> 00:21:09.509
So I figured I'd give it a shot and call.
416
00:21:10.450 --> 00:21:11.890
The universe just worked out for me.
417
00:21:12.450 --> 00:21:14.430
Everything works. And then you hear like a clink, clink,
418
00:21:14.450 --> 00:21:16.390
clink noise. And he goes, oh, my God, the phone
419
00:21:16.410 --> 00:21:26.230
just gave me my quarterback. Troy. Troy is in. school
420
00:21:26.269 --> 00:21:29.029
now and he's wearing a shirt that would immediately get
421
00:21:29.069 --> 00:21:32.250
him banned in 2026 it's a happy face that says
422
00:21:32.289 --> 00:21:35.069
have a great day but it's brains have been blown
423
00:21:35.130 --> 00:21:38.410
out by a bullet hole would not be allowed in
424
00:21:38.430 --> 00:21:42.910
school today and Troy says like Rick and his cronies
425
00:21:42.950 --> 00:21:45.130
walk by he goes Angus is going to blow you
426
00:21:45.170 --> 00:21:48.220
off the dance floor he can really dance and so
427
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:50.680
in response Rick and his friends hang him from a
428
00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:53.039
locker by the back of his shirt I.
429
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:56.579
Did love his friend's reaction. Not Kevin Connolly. The other
430
00:21:56.619 --> 00:22:00.380
guy is like Angus can dance and weirdly like Vanderbeek
431
00:22:00.420 --> 00:22:03.410
feels threatened by it. Yeah. He's like, Oh shit. And
432
00:22:03.430 --> 00:22:05.170
then I love, and then his friend is just like,
433
00:22:05.890 --> 00:22:08.430
I mean, you better hope he's not better than you.
434
00:22:08.609 --> 00:22:11.369
Cause you dance like a white person.
435
00:22:11.670 --> 00:22:17.970
And he does later in the movie at the dance,
436
00:22:18.019 --> 00:22:20.380
they show James Vanderbeek dancing and he very much dances
437
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:23.769
like a white person. So he's basically worried, like, what
438
00:22:23.809 --> 00:22:26.220
if Angus can really dance and he has a nice moment?
439
00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:29.319
This moment is solely to disgrace and embarrass him. What
440
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:31.079
if he has a nice moment? So Rick starts to
441
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:31.720
get a little worried.
442
00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:36.710
Were you really impressed, especially, like, at this part? I
443
00:22:36.750 --> 00:22:39.990
feel like the conceit of this movie where, like, it's
444
00:22:40.069 --> 00:22:41.849
the whole idea of, like, him being set up to
445
00:22:41.890 --> 00:22:46.799
be embarrassed is, like... she's all that is Carrie is
446
00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:49.599
all these movies where like the whole engine is the
447
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:53.339
anxiety of what's going to happen when this night, um,
448
00:22:53.380 --> 00:22:55.859
when this whole thing takes place, this point is such
449
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:57.859
a good job of making it part of the movie,
450
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.779
but not the whole thing. Yeah. Even though it is
451
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.380
the kind of plot, you know, kind of engine, but
452
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:04.900
I don't know. I just really like, and they made
453
00:23:04.940 --> 00:23:07.990
it so believable that Rick would feel threatened by Angus.
454
00:23:09.309 --> 00:23:12.900
Yeah, no, I, I agree. I think that's a good point. Um,
455
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:20.650
And now it's after football or after gym. And thank God,
456
00:23:20.750 --> 00:23:24.329
I have never in my life taken a communal shower.
457
00:23:25.470 --> 00:23:27.970
And I'm so happy for that. I know Eric is
458
00:23:28.029 --> 00:23:29.930
rolling over in his grave even though he's not dead.
459
00:23:30.450 --> 00:23:33.069
Eric loves communal showers with other men. He's talked to
460
00:23:33.089 --> 00:23:35.990
me about it. I never took a communal shower. And
461
00:23:36.019 --> 00:23:38.640
when we went to Iceland, Mark was like, hey, just
462
00:23:38.660 --> 00:23:39.920
to let you know, we're probably going to have to
463
00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:42.319
take a communal shower together. It's very normal in Iceland
464
00:23:42.380 --> 00:23:48.009
before we go into the what's it called? The Lagoon.
465
00:23:48.309 --> 00:23:51.930
The Hot Lagoon. And I was like, that's not okay
466
00:23:51.970 --> 00:23:55.690
with me. That's just, I don't like that. And you
467
00:23:55.730 --> 00:23:58.329
had said to me, oh, because Mark's gay. And I said, no.
468
00:23:58.849 --> 00:24:01.069
Not because he's gay. I just don't. I've never done
469
00:24:01.089 --> 00:24:03.670
that with anyone. That's not what you said.
470
00:24:04.130 --> 00:24:04.670
Not what I said.
471
00:24:04.910 --> 00:24:07.329
But thank God we didn't. We had stalls. So we
472
00:24:07.349 --> 00:24:08.789
did not have to do that. I didn't have to
473
00:24:08.829 --> 00:24:10.609
see Ryan naked.
474
00:24:10.630 --> 00:24:15.089
I have never done that myself. And... I'm doing you
475
00:24:15.130 --> 00:24:16.710
a favor as much as you're doing me a favor
476
00:24:16.730 --> 00:24:18.779
when that situation. Yeah.
477
00:24:18.890 --> 00:24:21.059
Like even we got changed in front of each other.
478
00:24:21.099 --> 00:24:23.579
Like we all turned away and we're in the locker
479
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:26.400
room changing. And even that, I'm like, this is so weird,
480
00:24:26.619 --> 00:24:31.779
but Hey, Europeans, man, they're, they're free. But Troy, who's
481
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:36.519
tiny is a tiny redhead. Uh, he's not showering. And
482
00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:40.210
the coach goes, Redbird hit the showers. No, I have
483
00:24:40.230 --> 00:24:42.549
a note from my doctor. Uh, This is from your father.
484
00:24:42.910 --> 00:24:46.230
My father's a doctor. Your father's a dentist. Hit the
485
00:24:46.269 --> 00:24:47.829
showers every day with this kid.
486
00:24:47.849 --> 00:24:50.890
I love it. I have sore gums. Yeah.
487
00:24:51.289 --> 00:24:54.009
Yeah, so poor Troy being, like, such a small kid.
488
00:24:54.390 --> 00:24:56.890
He's probably not hung like a horse. He doesn't want
489
00:24:56.910 --> 00:24:58.690
to shower in front of the popular kids at school.
490
00:24:58.710 --> 00:25:00.990
Also, coach, relax. Relax, coach. Why do you need this?
491
00:25:01.309 --> 00:25:03.930
This is the thing with teachers, especially back in the day. Like,
492
00:25:03.990 --> 00:25:04.690
fuck you, coach.
493
00:25:05.430 --> 00:25:07.509
Yeah. So.
494
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:10.980
rick goes up and taunts angus and troy knowing that
495
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:12.869
angus can't do anything about it because he doesn't want
496
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:16.390
to blow a shot at um the school and he
497
00:25:16.430 --> 00:25:18.890
says angus melissa has been bitching my ear off because
498
00:25:18.910 --> 00:25:22.970
she has to dance with you and angus is like
499
00:25:23.569 --> 00:25:26.339
give give troy give me my shirt back because rick
500
00:25:26.380 --> 00:25:29.819
stole his shirt out of his locker um but angus
501
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:31.859
also realized after the fact he goes oh shit he
502
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:34.839
rick also stole my underwear and now ryan why don't
503
00:25:34.859 --> 00:25:36.049
you explain what happens from.
504
00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:40.680
Here so they are walking outside of school. They hear
505
00:25:40.740 --> 00:25:47.509
people laughing. Uh, Troy notices, um, that Angus's underwear is
506
00:25:47.769 --> 00:25:50.190
under the flag on the flagpole on the front lawn
507
00:25:50.210 --> 00:25:54.789
of the school. Um, and Troy says in a truly
508
00:25:55.089 --> 00:25:58.430
like blown away moment, can you believe it? Your underwear
509
00:25:58.470 --> 00:26:02.990
is almost as big as the flag. And the amazing
510
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:04.960
thing that this movie does is like the one time
511
00:26:04.980 --> 00:26:08.430
they go really kind of wacky is, uh, As Angus
512
00:26:08.529 --> 00:26:11.829
is fixating on it and he's seeing Melissa walking towards him,
513
00:26:12.410 --> 00:26:15.490
the underwear gets so big. And at one point in time,
514
00:26:15.569 --> 00:26:19.130
it is like two bedsheets. It is hilarious. And I
515
00:26:19.150 --> 00:26:25.910
was like, oh, my God. So as Melissa is walking
516
00:26:25.970 --> 00:26:29.710
across the front lawn, Angus is praying she does not
517
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:33.400
see this. she happens to walk by and not see
518
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.660
it happen. And then as people are taking, taking the
519
00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:42.839
flag down to remove the underwear, the underwear gets blown
520
00:26:42.900 --> 00:26:45.990
out of the guy's hands or off the clothespins, whatever.
521
00:26:46.009 --> 00:26:48.910
And then I don't know if this was done intentionally.
522
00:26:48.930 --> 00:26:52.910
You hear someone say, Hey Melissa. And Melissa turns around
523
00:26:53.089 --> 00:26:55.619
and just gets the full underwear in her face. Like
524
00:26:55.650 --> 00:26:56.559
it couldn't have been worse.
525
00:26:57.019 --> 00:26:59.740
Um, um, do you remember what Troy says?
526
00:27:01.019 --> 00:27:03.680
Now that is a slice of the old dick pie.
527
00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:12.509
I do love Tim. They hide in the bushes and
528
00:27:12.529 --> 00:27:16.130
they wait until everyone's gone to avoid this. When the
529
00:27:16.150 --> 00:27:20.950
coast is clear, this kid killed me. They're walking back
530
00:27:21.049 --> 00:27:23.369
on the front lawn and there's a kid, random kid,
531
00:27:23.390 --> 00:27:26.440
just sitting there. in front of the tree stump.
532
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:27.779
Reading a book, yeah.
533
00:27:28.140 --> 00:27:32.000
Reading a book. He's like, see, look, no one's here.
534
00:27:32.019 --> 00:27:34.779
I don't think anyone knew it was your underwear. And
535
00:27:34.819 --> 00:27:39.349
that kid bursts into laughter. That was your underwear, Angus?
536
00:27:40.029 --> 00:27:40.609
That was great.
537
00:27:40.789 --> 00:27:41.230
That was great.
538
00:27:41.309 --> 00:27:42.869
Troy just totally ruining the moment.
539
00:27:44.390 --> 00:27:49.210
And then Troy has disappeared behind Angus as Angus is
540
00:27:49.250 --> 00:27:55.079
walking out. And we see that Rick and his cronies
541
00:27:55.140 --> 00:27:59.440
have pretty much threatened Troy, pushed him on the ground,
542
00:27:59.700 --> 00:28:03.619
really hurt his arm. That they're like, hey, we need
543
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:05.680
something on Angus and you have to give it to us.
544
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:10.460
Pretty much threatening him with this. I like how when
545
00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:15.099
he pushed, when Rick pushes Troy... I don't think he
546
00:28:15.140 --> 00:28:18.240
meant to inflict the level of pain that he did. No.
547
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:20.119
And you can tell from his face, he's like, oh fuck,
548
00:28:20.180 --> 00:28:22.349
I went too far with this. Yeah. But now it's
549
00:28:22.369 --> 00:28:23.430
like too late. Yeah.
550
00:28:23.809 --> 00:28:26.109
This, this scene truly hurt my heart. Cause Troy's a
551
00:28:26.150 --> 00:28:28.910
little guy, but he's, he has courage and he talks
552
00:28:28.950 --> 00:28:31.630
shit to Rick and he like puts on a tough
553
00:28:31.650 --> 00:28:35.759
front cause he, he has to. And they're, they're bullying him. They're,
554
00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:37.779
you got to give us something really bad on Angus
555
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:40.480
or we're going to like beat you up. And Troy's like, no,
556
00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:42.420
I'm not doing it. And he starts to run away.
557
00:28:42.970 --> 00:28:45.029
And when Rick trips him, he lands on the ground
558
00:28:45.069 --> 00:28:47.950
and breaks his arm. And the actor who plays Troy
559
00:28:48.190 --> 00:28:51.089
does such a good job in this moment where Troy,
560
00:28:51.410 --> 00:28:55.019
you forget, he's a kid. He's a kid. And he
561
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:58.359
just starts crying really hard. And then Rick's friends get
562
00:28:58.420 --> 00:29:01.119
freaked out and they bail. They run. Because they're like,
563
00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:03.740
oh shit, this has gone too far. And then Vanderbeek
564
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:05.799
is kind of freaking out too. And he's like, well,
565
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:08.279
you better give me something or I'm going to do
566
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:12.799
this again. And he runs away. Yeah. Truly awful. So
567
00:29:13.180 --> 00:29:16.349
Angus goes to Grandpa's chess game, and he says, people suck, Grandpa.
568
00:29:17.009 --> 00:29:19.650
Grandpa says, there's always going to be a quarterback, Angus. Well,
569
00:29:19.670 --> 00:29:21.650
I can't go to this dance. Grandpa says, you're a
570
00:29:21.690 --> 00:29:23.450
coward if you don't go to the dance. Well, I
571
00:29:23.450 --> 00:29:26.069
could smash Rick's face in. You're a coward if you do.
572
00:29:26.990 --> 00:29:29.130
He says, Grandpa, you don't get it. And this is
573
00:29:29.180 --> 00:29:31.339
what's so funny about teenagers, and we're all guilty of this.
574
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:33.660
I was 100% guilty of this, is that they think
575
00:29:33.700 --> 00:29:37.460
adults have no wisdom. They just think they're corny idiots
576
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:39.680
who have no idea what I'm going through. Yeah.
577
00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:40.559
Absolutely.
578
00:29:41.259 --> 00:29:45.660
And Grandpa's wedding is tomorrow. They go back home. Grandpa's
579
00:29:45.700 --> 00:29:49.740
arguing with Kathy Bates. And Grandpa says, listen, this new
580
00:29:49.779 --> 00:29:52.660
school you're going to send him to, Jefferson, it's crap.
581
00:29:53.859 --> 00:29:56.220
And Meg says he needs to go to a school
582
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:58.619
where they won't make him homecoming kid as a prank.
583
00:29:59.059 --> 00:30:01.160
Don't you know what they're doing? They're trying to embarrass him.
584
00:30:01.579 --> 00:30:03.799
And Grandpa says, you're not giving the boy credit for
585
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:06.940
being strong. And then I love what Meg says, because
586
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:10.500
she's a fucking mom, and moms know. She says, do
587
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:11.920
you know that when he sits down at lunch, the
588
00:30:11.940 --> 00:30:13.960
other kids jump up and pretend they're being thrown off
589
00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:17.980
the bench? And Grandpa says, no, he didn't tell me that.
590
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:21.369
And Meg says, he didn't tell me that either. She
591
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:23.670
just knows, because she finds out, even though Angus doesn't
592
00:30:23.690 --> 00:30:25.670
tell her. Do you know what they did with his underwear?
593
00:30:26.089 --> 00:30:29.279
They ran it up the flagpole to humiliate him. And
594
00:30:29.339 --> 00:30:33.420
he gets up every day and goes there. Every single day.
595
00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:36.289
So don't you tell me I don't know how strong
596
00:30:36.309 --> 00:30:41.289
my son is. And Grandpa says, listen, that was you, kid.
597
00:30:41.750 --> 00:30:43.789
That was you. And look how you turned out. And
598
00:30:43.809 --> 00:30:45.750
then Kathy Bates starts to cry and they hug each other.
599
00:30:46.190 --> 00:30:49.069
But I thought that was a fucking great moment with
600
00:30:49.109 --> 00:30:49.690
Kathy Bates.
601
00:30:50.470 --> 00:30:51.869
Yeah. Really, really good.
602
00:30:52.990 --> 00:30:55.769
And Kathy Bates comes in to talk about the interview
603
00:30:55.789 --> 00:30:59.349
and And they're, they're just kind of like Angus's moody
604
00:30:59.369 --> 00:31:01.150
is not happy. You just made a noise. So did
605
00:31:01.170 --> 00:31:02.630
you love how she approached this?
606
00:31:03.549 --> 00:31:05.789
Oh, it's great. And also I love this song too.
607
00:31:06.009 --> 00:31:06.710
This is so good.
608
00:31:06.950 --> 00:31:07.589
What song was it?
609
00:31:08.250 --> 00:31:11.599
This is funny face by the muffs. Um, so I, I,
610
00:31:11.710 --> 00:31:16.720
this was a big one. I, when I had this soundtrack, um, yeah,
611
00:31:16.740 --> 00:31:19.880
this is, so like, um, he's dancing with the blow
612
00:31:19.900 --> 00:31:23.019
up doll. And like, I always like the way she
613
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:26.980
handled this is like, She's caught him. He's dancing with it,
614
00:31:27.009 --> 00:31:29.609
so it's not that bad as you could imagine it
615
00:31:29.630 --> 00:31:34.269
could be. And she just kind of laughs and is like,
616
00:31:34.529 --> 00:31:37.819
is she a friend? Like, who is this person? And
617
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:40.339
then Angus laughs, knowing he's caught. I think it's a
618
00:31:40.339 --> 00:31:41.339
really good moment between them.
619
00:31:42.420 --> 00:31:44.420
And he's just in a bad mood. He's pissed off.
620
00:31:44.539 --> 00:31:48.160
And a great, like, mother-son moment. Because they're both overweight,
621
00:31:48.859 --> 00:31:50.900
and they both love food, and so do I, so
622
00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:53.950
does Ryan. And she goes... She knows Angus is pissed off.
623
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:57.660
She goes... hagen does and then then he jumps up
624
00:31:57.700 --> 00:31:59.380
and they like race each other down the stairs which
625
00:31:59.420 --> 00:32:01.559
i thought was a great little like mother-son moment great
626
00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:08.450
um i want to mention the actress who plays april
627
00:32:10.769 --> 00:32:15.430
where is april so did you recognize.
628
00:32:15.049 --> 00:32:19.720
Her so she is in the crow she's she is.
629
00:32:19.690 --> 00:32:22.970
In the crow She's in this, and she also is
630
00:32:23.049 --> 00:32:26.170
one of the prostitutes. I think she's the prostitute that
631
00:32:26.210 --> 00:32:28.369
gets sliced up in Unforgiven.
632
00:32:29.049 --> 00:32:33.509
Yes, because it was funny. Not funny. It was interesting
633
00:32:33.549 --> 00:32:35.640
watching this movie now because I was like, oh, they
634
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:41.559
really don't show her that much. Yeah. And it's kind
635
00:32:41.579 --> 00:32:44.420
of a little bit similar with the Angus we'll see later,
636
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:46.259
Angus and Melissa. Yeah.
637
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:50.640
So her four most famous roles, according to IMDb, are
638
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:54.849
True Romance, Unforgiven, Desperately Seeking Susan, and The Crow.
639
00:32:57.009 --> 00:32:59.109
Her name is.
640
00:33:00.369 --> 00:33:04.500
Dodecan Shlampson. No, her name is Anna Thompson.
641
00:33:06.619 --> 00:33:08.559
She's very good in this.
642
00:33:08.619 --> 00:33:09.940
She is because she has a small role, but she's
643
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:14.839
good in this. So it's the day of the wedding.
644
00:33:15.950 --> 00:33:21.309
april looks hot so grandpa you know he's not a
645
00:33:21.329 --> 00:33:25.029
perfect person but he's confident he knows who he is
646
00:33:25.250 --> 00:33:30.039
he's marrying a much hotter 42 year old he's 72
647
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:31.599
but he seems like he really does love her and
648
00:33:31.619 --> 00:33:35.200
he's happy and angus is narrating as long as i
649
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:37.319
can remember my grandpa has been the big kid down
650
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:39.240
the hall it's funny how you get so comfortable with
651
00:33:39.259 --> 00:33:41.319
someone you think they're always going to be there and
652
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:44.059
then one day they're not because grandpa after the wedding
653
00:33:44.099 --> 00:33:46.440
is going to obviously move out of their house and
654
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:51.720
move in with April, Angus says to Grandpa, you know,
655
00:33:51.859 --> 00:33:54.180
I'm sorry, I've been a jerk, you know, the past
656
00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:58.680
couple days, especially recently, and I'm glad you're marrying April,
657
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:02.859
you seem happy, and you, you got balls, Grandpa, you
658
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:05.569
got balls more than me, and I respect that, basically,
659
00:34:07.829 --> 00:34:13.190
at this point, Grandpa gives a speech that honestly forever
660
00:34:13.269 --> 00:34:16.159
changed my life, I'm not kidding, like, I don't know
661
00:34:16.179 --> 00:34:17.559
when I saw this movie. This came out when I
662
00:34:17.579 --> 00:34:19.780
was nine. But I probably didn't see it until I
663
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:25.199
was like 12, 13. This speech changed my life. I
664
00:34:25.260 --> 00:34:28.510
actually wrote... The first teacher in high school that really
665
00:34:28.570 --> 00:34:32.210
believed in me and motivated me... I didn't give a
666
00:34:32.269 --> 00:34:35.090
shit about high school. I didn't try. A couple of
667
00:34:35.130 --> 00:34:37.170
times freshman year in high school, I got a D
668
00:34:38.460 --> 00:34:41.820
in a class. And Mr. Trudeau, my English teacher, who
669
00:34:41.860 --> 00:34:44.610
has since passed away... I wrote... we had to, we
670
00:34:44.619 --> 00:34:47.210
had an assignment in one of our like English classes
671
00:34:47.250 --> 00:34:51.130
and it was like, uh, write a speech or, or
672
00:34:51.190 --> 00:34:54.010
something like that. And I, I took this speech and
673
00:34:54.030 --> 00:34:55.510
I was like, this is a speech from a movie,
674
00:34:55.530 --> 00:34:57.969
but I want to expand upon it and why I
675
00:34:58.010 --> 00:35:00.239
think it's so great. And I wrote it and I
676
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:00.920
handed it to Mr.
677
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:01.280
Trudeau.
678
00:35:01.300 --> 00:35:03.820
And ever since that moment, Mr. Trudeau was like, you,
679
00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:06.699
you are special. Like you have something, you're a smart kid.
680
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:09.860
You're a great writer. I loved this. Like do more
681
00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:12.400
of this. And if you ever want to write in
682
00:35:12.420 --> 00:35:15.329
your free time, like, For no reason, you should do that.
683
00:35:16.050 --> 00:35:17.989
And he was the first teacher in high school when
684
00:35:18.010 --> 00:35:21.280
I was older that really believed in me and inspired me.
685
00:35:21.659 --> 00:35:23.300
When I think like most teachers in high school, and
686
00:35:23.340 --> 00:35:26.380
I don't blame them because high school kids suck. Most
687
00:35:26.420 --> 00:35:28.840
of them are kind of like they've cashed it in
688
00:35:28.860 --> 00:35:30.119
a long time ago. You know what I mean?
689
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:31.760
Jaded, yeah.
690
00:35:32.219 --> 00:35:38.389
Very, very jaded. So Grandpa says to Angus, Angus, Superman
691
00:35:38.429 --> 00:35:41.769
isn't brave. And Angus says, Grandpa, did you forget to
692
00:35:41.809 --> 00:35:47.070
take your pill? Great response. Grandpa says, you don't understand.
693
00:35:47.869 --> 00:35:51.730
Superman is smart, handsome, even decent, but he's not brave.
694
00:35:52.570 --> 00:35:56.210
Now listen to me. Superman is indestructible, and you can't
695
00:35:56.250 --> 00:35:59.469
be brave if you're indestructible. It's people like you and
696
00:35:59.489 --> 00:36:02.489
your mother, people who are different, and can be crushed
697
00:36:02.610 --> 00:36:05.449
and know it if they keep going on out there
698
00:36:05.659 --> 00:36:08.920
every time. Angus says, I'm not brave, Grandpa. I'm so
699
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:11.000
afraid of going to this dance, and I know everyone
700
00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:14.059
but you thinks I'm stupid. I wish I could stop
701
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:16.800
liking Melissa, but I can't. I know she won't be
702
00:36:16.860 --> 00:36:18.699
struck blind and ask me to take her home for
703
00:36:18.739 --> 00:36:21.260
the dance or anything, but it's the only chance I have.
704
00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:26.099
I just want my moment. And then Angus notices that
705
00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:31.489
Grandpa has fallen asleep. Now, before we go further, this
706
00:36:31.550 --> 00:36:35.030
is absolutely true. This is why I always hated Superman
707
00:36:35.070 --> 00:36:37.750
as a character. I like him now, and I've talked
708
00:36:37.769 --> 00:36:39.570
about that in the podcast, how I appreciate him now,
709
00:36:39.909 --> 00:36:43.369
because his superpower is being a good person. even though
710
00:36:43.389 --> 00:36:46.550
he's a god. But because of this speech, I always
711
00:36:46.570 --> 00:36:50.090
hated Superman and I always loved Batman because every day
712
00:36:50.190 --> 00:36:54.400
Superman is risking pretty much nothing. And Batman is risking everything.
713
00:36:54.500 --> 00:36:59.739
And you cannot be brave without being afraid. It's not possible.
714
00:37:00.739 --> 00:37:01.500
Without the rope.
715
00:37:04.659 --> 00:37:05.219
Without the rope?
716
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.449
From the Dark Knight Rises. To make the jump out
717
00:37:08.530 --> 00:37:08.889
of the pit.
718
00:37:09.730 --> 00:37:13.630
Without the rope. That's a very good point. Very good point.
719
00:37:15.170 --> 00:37:22.369
So Angus, because Grandpa's falling asleep, what happens from here, Ryan?
720
00:37:22.550 --> 00:37:27.449
Angus goes to play the horns. Reveille. Reveille, I'm sorry.
721
00:37:27.989 --> 00:37:32.460
The track. It goes on for a bit. They do
722
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:36.820
a really good job with this. They do. And it
723
00:37:36.860 --> 00:37:41.099
just keeps playing. They cut to Kathy Bates... Sorry, Angus'
724
00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:45.150
mom talking to somebody at the reception. She hears the
725
00:37:45.190 --> 00:37:47.630
horns are playing for a long time. So she looks
726
00:37:47.750 --> 00:37:51.389
over and she just sees Angus standing crying in the stairway.
727
00:37:52.150 --> 00:37:55.909
And her face is so great in this moment. Because
728
00:37:55.929 --> 00:37:59.380
it's not like instant sadness. She's like, I know what
729
00:37:59.409 --> 00:38:01.840
happened here. Yeah.
730
00:38:02.619 --> 00:38:05.139
Grandpa didn't wake up. He didn't wake up from Reveille
731
00:38:05.179 --> 00:38:09.690
this time. So he had essentially... Just like Angus's dad
732
00:38:10.449 --> 00:38:12.010
died of a heart attack.
733
00:38:12.909 --> 00:38:13.539
And....
734
00:38:15.820 --> 00:38:19.199
The montage after with the song... I don't know who
735
00:38:19.260 --> 00:38:23.179
the band is, but it's... Will the river carry me on?
736
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:25.519
This montage is amazing.
737
00:38:25.539 --> 00:38:27.739
This is Washing of the Water by Peter Gabriel. A
738
00:38:27.780 --> 00:38:29.760
great one. Oh, okay.
739
00:38:29.820 --> 00:38:32.130
All right. Yeah, this montage is amazing.
740
00:38:32.150 --> 00:38:33.010
Also not on the soundtrack.
741
00:38:33.590 --> 00:38:36.429
Not on the soundtrack, correct. But the way that he...
742
00:38:37.630 --> 00:38:41.789
I think it's so beautiful. So describe your boy, um, Kirshner,
743
00:38:41.849 --> 00:38:44.469
who's the elderly chess player that meets with him every day.
744
00:38:44.889 --> 00:38:48.130
How does Angus break the news to him that Grimp
745
00:38:48.190 --> 00:38:48.489
is dead?
746
00:38:49.650 --> 00:38:53.030
So he comes over to the chessboard and he lays
747
00:38:53.090 --> 00:38:57.769
down the king chess piece. And then Angus just sits
748
00:38:57.809 --> 00:39:01.320
down quietly, looks over and the guy puts his arm
749
00:39:01.449 --> 00:39:06.130
on Angus's shoulder, his hand on Angus's shoulder. Um, Just
750
00:39:06.150 --> 00:39:09.010
great quiet face acting. Really great.
751
00:39:09.980 --> 00:39:14.039
Yeah. Yeah. This is– it's not saying a word, just
752
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:17.059
putting the king chest piece down and the old man
753
00:39:17.099 --> 00:39:23.050
starts to cry. So he sees Troy. Troy comes to
754
00:39:23.750 --> 00:39:25.789
talk to him because he knows like my best friend's
755
00:39:26.349 --> 00:39:29.969
grandfather died. And it's sort of like Rose, Paul's grandfather.
756
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:33.260
who lived in the house with him. It's a totally
757
00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:35.719
different relationship. Like I love my grandparents. I'm sure you
758
00:39:35.739 --> 00:39:37.739
love your grandparents and were sad when they died, but
759
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:39.880
if they lived in your house for years, it's a
760
00:39:40.059 --> 00:39:41.199
completely different relationship.
761
00:39:41.219 --> 00:39:47.000
It's like a sibling. Yeah, totally. Totally. Yeah. Um, this
762
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:49.159
scene i like i like this a lot with him
763
00:39:49.219 --> 00:39:51.300
and troy because do you know what i thought again
764
00:39:51.340 --> 00:39:54.389
i didn't listen to such a long time i thought
765
00:39:54.409 --> 00:39:58.050
i'm like oh because of what angus is going through
766
00:39:58.210 --> 00:40:03.039
troy because we see a shot before the wedding of
767
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:09.280
troy handing something to rick on the bleachers um And
768
00:40:09.300 --> 00:40:12.949
I thought here, oh, Troy is going to warn Angus
769
00:40:13.110 --> 00:40:15.510
about what's going to happen. And it doesn't happen, which
770
00:40:15.530 --> 00:40:17.070
I think every other movie would have done.
771
00:40:18.369 --> 00:40:22.289
I understand both sides here. So Troy approaches Angus and says,
772
00:40:23.389 --> 00:40:24.969
Angus is like, what happened to your arm? Because Rick
773
00:40:25.010 --> 00:40:26.789
broke his arm. And Troy says, oh, I fell off
774
00:40:26.829 --> 00:40:29.800
my bike. And the reason that Troy does what he does,
775
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:31.500
which will later be explained, is he knows he has
776
00:40:31.539 --> 00:40:34.519
no protection anymore. Angus can't protect him. And he's just
777
00:40:34.539 --> 00:40:38.159
in a really bad spot. Uh, so Troy's tries to
778
00:40:38.179 --> 00:40:40.480
cheer Angus up and he says, Hey, I got a
779
00:40:40.500 --> 00:40:43.639
Cindy Crawford, uh, new button thigh workout video that on
780
00:40:43.659 --> 00:40:45.500
VHS that we could watch in my, in my room
781
00:40:45.539 --> 00:40:49.300
or something like that. And Angus is like, shut up, Troy.
782
00:40:49.780 --> 00:40:51.579
Cause he's not in the mood for Troy to just
783
00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:54.480
be like a perverted teenager and crack jokes. But at
784
00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:56.320
the same, at the same, and I get that. Like
785
00:40:56.539 --> 00:40:58.900
it's not appropriate when my, one of my best friends,
786
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:01.019
my grandfather just died to come and talk to me
787
00:41:01.059 --> 00:41:04.940
about Cindy Crawford's ass. Um, shout out Kaya Gerber. But
788
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:07.260
Troy's like, well, this is all I know how to do.
789
00:41:07.300 --> 00:41:09.300
I'm trying to cheer you up. You're my friend. I
790
00:41:09.340 --> 00:41:11.010
know this will make you happy. And so I'm just
791
00:41:11.030 --> 00:41:13.110
trying to cheer you up. I understand both sides in
792
00:41:13.130 --> 00:41:13.650
this scenario.
793
00:41:14.369 --> 00:41:14.570
Yeah.
794
00:41:16.050 --> 00:41:19.550
And Angus says to Troy, you don't know how it feels,
795
00:41:20.710 --> 00:41:22.769
which I like even watching it now. I was like,
796
00:41:23.909 --> 00:41:25.710
I mean, Troy has it worse than you. At least you're,
797
00:41:25.809 --> 00:41:28.550
you're smart and at science and you're big and strong.
798
00:41:29.210 --> 00:41:32.230
Yes. You have some power over the situation in some way.
799
00:41:32.570 --> 00:41:35.590
Yeah. And Troy goes, I don't know how it feels.
800
00:41:35.690 --> 00:41:38.010
You think you're the only person on Earth wishing they
801
00:41:38.030 --> 00:41:40.000
were someone else? If you don't want to go to
802
00:41:40.019 --> 00:41:42.840
the dance, then why aren't you going? And then Angus says,
803
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:45.059
I have to stop wanting things so much, which is
804
00:41:45.099 --> 00:41:47.679
so sad. Because that's like, it goes back to the
805
00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:49.880
breakfast club. When you become an adult and you get older,
806
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:52.619
your soul dies. Because you learn you have to stop
807
00:41:52.659 --> 00:41:55.920
wanting things so much. Because they don't work out. And
808
00:41:55.940 --> 00:42:02.369
it's just a very sad line. Angus goes back home,
809
00:42:02.690 --> 00:42:07.880
and April... Grandpa's widow stops by and says, basically, Angus,
810
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:10.639
I found this box that Grandpa left for you. And
811
00:42:10.659 --> 00:42:12.739
it's a cardboard box. And do you know what's written
812
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:13.519
on the cardboard box?
813
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:16.320
Not for Superman.
814
00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:18.840
Yeah, do not open this if you are Superman.
815
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:19.800
Oh, sorry.
816
00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:21.199
What is inside, Ryan?
817
00:42:22.650 --> 00:42:23.570
The plum suit.
818
00:42:24.449 --> 00:42:26.630
The plum tuxedo.
819
00:42:27.050 --> 00:42:30.489
I also really like the little moment here with April
820
00:42:30.769 --> 00:42:33.860
where her watch goes off and she says... Time for
821
00:42:33.900 --> 00:42:37.940
a spill. I did remember. And I wonder if there
822
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:40.219
was parts in the movie that were maybe not shot
823
00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:45.059
or deleted where like she thought people thought she couldn't
824
00:42:45.099 --> 00:42:46.380
take care of him. Yes.
825
00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:50.300
Everybody, part of the thing with grandpa was like, you
826
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:54.070
think I'm oblivious to how everybody thinks we're idiots. April's
827
00:42:54.110 --> 00:42:57.030
marrying a 72 year old. So people think she's dumb
828
00:42:58.010 --> 00:42:59.570
and I'm marrying a 42 year old and people think
829
00:42:59.630 --> 00:43:02.130
I'm dumb. You think I don't know this? I just
830
00:43:02.269 --> 00:43:04.739
don't care. I want to marry April. She's hot. I
831
00:43:04.780 --> 00:43:07.099
really love her. She makes me happy. I don't give
832
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:08.619
a fuck what people think. That's what he was trying
833
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:09.880
to tell Angus this whole movie.
834
00:43:10.619 --> 00:43:12.599
Yeah.
835
00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:16.050
Angus decides, I'm going to go to the dance. He
836
00:43:16.090 --> 00:43:18.730
puts on the plum suit, and he's about to leave,
837
00:43:18.929 --> 00:43:19.750
and then what happens?
838
00:43:21.130 --> 00:43:23.489
I love this line, though. I look like Moby Grape.
839
00:43:24.329 --> 00:43:30.900
It's a great line. The interviewer from... jefferson shows up
840
00:43:30.980 --> 00:43:32.219
mr kessler.
841
00:43:33.300 --> 00:43:36.619
Um mr kessler is a famous character actor.
842
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:42.300
Very much so uh kessler is a bit of a
843
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:45.050
different movie in my opinion i think kessler's a little
844
00:43:45.110 --> 00:43:46.010
too broad.
845
00:43:45.949 --> 00:43:48.610
Yeah a little too cartoony you mean yeah.
846
00:43:48.690 --> 00:43:50.650
A little too cartoony i get it but he's a
847
00:43:50.650 --> 00:43:51.789
little too cartoony.
848
00:43:51.670 --> 00:43:54.130
Yeah yeah so okay here we go hold on i'm
849
00:43:54.150 --> 00:44:01.619
gonna pause for a And he says, I'm horribly late
850
00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:04.300
because the traffic was bad. I'm so sorry, but you're
851
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:06.559
not going anywhere, right? And then Angus says, no. And
852
00:44:06.579 --> 00:44:07.739
he's like, I guess I'm not going to go to
853
00:44:07.780 --> 00:44:09.989
the dance. And Kessler says, this is going to take
854
00:44:10.050 --> 00:44:11.989
several hours, and you're going to have to talk about
855
00:44:12.010 --> 00:44:15.090
your experiment or show me your experiment. So Angus is like, fuck,
856
00:44:15.130 --> 00:44:16.429
I'm not going to be able to go to the dance.
857
00:44:17.369 --> 00:44:21.010
And what other fatal mistake did Kessler make? Apparently there's
858
00:44:21.030 --> 00:44:23.030
a lot of traffic for some football game, and it's
859
00:44:23.050 --> 00:44:25.639
like useless sport. It makes a comment, but it's something
860
00:44:25.679 --> 00:44:28.719
that's really part of who Angus is as a person. Correct.
861
00:44:29.619 --> 00:44:32.250
So this is the interview between Mr. Kessler and Angus.
862
00:44:32.489 --> 00:44:35.250
I will be playing Mr. Kessler, and Angus in the
863
00:44:35.269 --> 00:44:39.469
scene will be played by Mr. Ryan McDonald. Now, if
864
00:44:39.510 --> 00:44:41.320
I could see your science experiment, Mr.
865
00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:41.940
Bethune.
866
00:44:42.659 --> 00:44:44.900
You have a science experiment, Mr. Bethune.
867
00:44:46.380 --> 00:44:47.539
Yes. Yes, I do.
868
00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:48.750
May I see it?
869
00:44:49.980 --> 00:44:50.699
You're looking at it.
870
00:44:51.260 --> 00:44:52.369
Is this a joke, Mr.
871
00:44:52.409 --> 00:44:56.639
Bethune? No. I'm hoping to prove that within every normal system,
872
00:44:56.960 --> 00:44:59.539
there exists an aberration. Something different.
873
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:00.760
The chaos theory.
874
00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:02.480
The buffoon theory.
875
00:45:03.199 --> 00:45:04.239
Your hypothesis?
876
00:45:05.300 --> 00:45:08.300
When a small, abnormal element is forced into a larger,
877
00:45:08.420 --> 00:45:12.400
normal system, the element will either be rejected or destroyed. Obviously.
878
00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:16.389
But it doesn't have to be that way if... If?
879
00:45:17.739 --> 00:45:21.739
If the element is brave. Brave? Brave? If the element
880
00:45:21.780 --> 00:45:24.239
can hold out long enough and face the torment of
881
00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:27.320
the system until the system's energy is depleted. If the
882
00:45:27.380 --> 00:45:29.440
element can look the system in the eye and say,
883
00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:34.659
I'm still here, asshole. And the system will have to change, adapt, mutate.
884
00:45:35.070 --> 00:45:37.989
And if this happens, it will have proved my fucking point.
885
00:45:38.690 --> 00:45:39.829
Which is what?
886
00:45:41.829 --> 00:45:43.269
There is no normal.
887
00:45:44.349 --> 00:45:44.969
Where are you going?
888
00:45:47.250 --> 00:45:47.909
To mutate.
889
00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:53.829
Mic drop. Angus leaves, goes to the dance, doesn't do
890
00:45:53.869 --> 00:45:56.219
the rest of the interview with Jefferson. And when he
891
00:45:56.260 --> 00:45:59.780
walks in, Troy says, they're outside the door. Troy says,
892
00:46:00.219 --> 00:46:02.159
don't go in here. Rick is going to do something.
893
00:46:02.579 --> 00:46:04.559
And Angus is like, yes, obviously I know Rick's going
894
00:46:04.579 --> 00:46:07.199
to do something. But you know what? Tell your mom,
895
00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:10.070
get a life. And he shoves Troy. And then Troy says,
896
00:46:10.090 --> 00:46:12.630
do you want to walk in together? And Angus goes, yeah.
897
00:46:13.110 --> 00:46:14.389
The way he says that is so great.
898
00:46:14.690 --> 00:46:19.070
Yeah. Love it. Love it. Um.
899
00:46:20.610 --> 00:46:23.710
Now they're going to do a segment for the homecoming
900
00:46:23.750 --> 00:46:27.110
king and queen. Angus has to go backstage with Melissa,
901
00:46:27.510 --> 00:46:31.389
and he has a corsage for her. And I remember this, overanalyzing,
902
00:46:31.429 --> 00:46:34.730
going to dances, panicking. Angus is trying to open the
903
00:46:34.769 --> 00:46:38.610
box and pin it on Melissa, and he's sweating. He's red.
904
00:46:39.030 --> 00:46:42.030
He's fumbling with the box. He puts his crown in
905
00:46:42.050 --> 00:46:43.849
his mouth at one point. He looks like an idiot.
906
00:46:44.550 --> 00:46:46.659
And he's just panicking in this moment.
907
00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:50.159
I like when she laughs when the crown is in
908
00:46:50.179 --> 00:46:52.889
his mouth. I did like this because here is one
909
00:46:52.909 --> 00:46:55.429
thing that blew my mind rewatching this. I'm like, oh,
910
00:46:55.829 --> 00:47:00.949
we literally never hear her talk this entire movie. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
911
00:47:01.329 --> 00:47:04.090
And why is Melissa dating Rick?
912
00:47:05.989 --> 00:47:10.920
Yeah. Red flag. But I think to what she says later,
913
00:47:10.940 --> 00:47:12.380
it might be part of that. Yeah.
914
00:47:13.150 --> 00:47:16.929
And 14-year-old girls, 16-year-old girls, 18-year-old girls, they're very stupid.
915
00:47:17.139 --> 00:47:19.340
As are boys, but they're very stupid and they date
916
00:47:19.380 --> 00:47:20.800
the wrong people. I think I've said this on the
917
00:47:20.820 --> 00:47:24.739
pod before, but the most complimentary and insulting comment a
918
00:47:24.780 --> 00:47:26.880
woman ever told me, there was a girl when I
919
00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:29.940
was like 18 that was really into me. Or maybe
920
00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:33.320
I was older than that, but I was young. Sorry,
921
00:47:33.380 --> 00:47:35.460
I said it was into me. No, I was into
922
00:47:35.579 --> 00:47:40.159
her and she was not into me. And she was like, Tim,
923
00:47:40.699 --> 00:47:43.659
you're the type of guy that every girl is going
924
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:46.219
to want to date when they're 30. And then I
925
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:48.920
just looked at her sideways and I was like, that's
926
00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:52.719
12 years from now. Like, I don't want to wait
927
00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:54.940
12 years for that. And she was like, well, you're
928
00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:58.280
going to have to. And then, and she was completely right.
929
00:47:59.179 --> 00:48:02.679
Completely right. Younger women don't want to date a guy
930
00:48:02.699 --> 00:48:05.929
like me because they're dumb. Not that I'm perfect, but
931
00:48:05.969 --> 00:48:08.329
like they're into different kinds of guys. And then when
932
00:48:08.389 --> 00:48:10.789
I was 30, I got married to a woman that
933
00:48:10.809 --> 00:48:13.070
was way out of my league and smarter than me
934
00:48:13.130 --> 00:48:16.320
and hotter than me. And, um, yeah, so she was right,
935
00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:20.789
but it's tough. It's tough to swallow that pill. Uh,
936
00:48:20.820 --> 00:48:23.300
Melissa says to Angus, I sweat when I'm nervous. Do
937
00:48:23.340 --> 00:48:26.639
you get angry? Uh, do you Angus? And Angus is like, uh, well,
938
00:48:26.699 --> 00:48:30.000
you know, I will. And she says, well, I guess
939
00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:32.550
guys are kind of supposed to be sweaty. And he says, well, yeah,
940
00:48:32.590 --> 00:48:32.880
you know.
941
00:48:34.650 --> 00:48:37.190
I just love cause like she couldn't have said a
942
00:48:37.230 --> 00:48:39.570
more relatable thing to him. And he's just so freaked
943
00:48:39.630 --> 00:48:41.690
out by it. It's like, I think it's just so crazy.
944
00:48:42.030 --> 00:48:43.869
And the interactions with Melissa here at the end of
945
00:48:43.889 --> 00:48:47.210
the movie are so great because Angus thinks, Oh, Rick
946
00:48:47.250 --> 00:48:50.780
and Melissa have it easy. Cause their life is great.
947
00:48:50.940 --> 00:48:53.179
And it's like, no, nobody's life in high school is great.
948
00:48:53.300 --> 00:48:56.659
Nobody in high school has it easy. Even Rick, like Rick,
949
00:48:56.719 --> 00:48:58.679
fuck Rick. He's an asshole. I'm not saying let's give
950
00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:01.239
him a pass, but do you think he's a happy person?
951
00:49:02.019 --> 00:49:04.119
Do you think that like his parents treat him well?
952
00:49:04.750 --> 00:49:06.170
Rick is an incredibly insecure human being.
953
00:49:06.190 --> 00:49:06.389
Yeah. Yeah.
954
00:49:10.550 --> 00:49:14.090
There's no way he's happy. When he's laying down at
955
00:49:14.130 --> 00:49:17.179
night alone thinking thoughts in the darkness, there's no way
956
00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:18.079
he's a happy person.
957
00:49:18.739 --> 00:49:18.960
Yeah.
958
00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:22.820
Just like I said to Bridget, I go, the kid,
959
00:49:22.860 --> 00:49:25.559
the bully that slapped the books out of Holly's hands
960
00:49:25.619 --> 00:49:28.199
and called her a fat bitch, he probably had it
961
00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:30.809
worse than all of us. What was his life like?
962
00:49:31.809 --> 00:49:31.989
Yeah.
963
00:49:33.210 --> 00:49:33.550
Anyways.
964
00:49:33.909 --> 00:49:34.030
Yeah.
965
00:49:34.849 --> 00:49:36.989
She says, everybody's going to be staring at us when
966
00:49:37.030 --> 00:49:38.869
we go out there. I hate that. And Angus says,
967
00:49:38.969 --> 00:49:40.630
aren't you used to people staring at you?
968
00:49:41.650 --> 00:49:41.860
Yeah.
969
00:49:42.489 --> 00:49:44.550
And then when they walk out, they're both quietly saying
970
00:49:44.570 --> 00:49:47.840
to themselves simultaneously, don't trip, don't trip, don't trip.
971
00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:51.599
Again, it's really well done how like spot on they
972
00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:53.400
feel this. I mean, again, the point of the movie,
973
00:49:53.820 --> 00:49:55.679
they are the same as much as they are different. Yeah.
974
00:49:56.820 --> 00:50:00.179
And then all of a sudden on the projector screen
975
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:03.949
at the dance, it's a video of Angus dancing with
976
00:50:04.010 --> 00:50:05.730
a blow-up doll and talking about how he has a
977
00:50:05.769 --> 00:50:08.929
crush on Melissa. So you know that Troy gave it
978
00:50:08.969 --> 00:50:13.840
to Rick and then Rick played it. It cuts to– oh, sorry.
979
00:50:13.880 --> 00:50:14.380
Go ahead, Ryan.
980
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.219
My note was this video is just as embarrassing for
981
00:50:17.260 --> 00:50:19.659
Troy because of the things he's saying on the video.
982
00:50:20.900 --> 00:50:23.139
Yeah, and you hear Troy go, you have a boner
983
00:50:23.159 --> 00:50:26.550
in your stomach? And then everybody laughs. And everybody– it
984
00:50:26.860 --> 00:50:29.190
cuts to the crowd and everybody is laughing and like
985
00:50:29.230 --> 00:50:31.590
pointing at Angus like what an idiot. And then in
986
00:50:31.630 --> 00:50:36.150
the midst of that, you see Troy sobbing. And that's, again,
987
00:50:36.489 --> 00:50:40.730
great acting performance by Troy. That moment really hurt my heart.
988
00:50:42.030 --> 00:50:45.730
And it's awful, too, because you think of the fire
989
00:50:45.789 --> 00:50:47.929
alarm in the beginning of the movie where he took
990
00:50:47.949 --> 00:50:51.269
this huge L to help Angus and to do this
991
00:50:51.329 --> 00:50:52.829
because he was backed into a corner.
992
00:50:55.250 --> 00:50:58.239
So Melissa... is so horrified by this she runs out
993
00:50:58.260 --> 00:51:00.360
of the dance and angus also runs out of the
994
00:51:00.380 --> 00:51:02.500
dance rick starts to follow them and i love the
995
00:51:02.539 --> 00:51:05.960
principal like for once doing a good thing the principal
996
00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:08.159
stops rick and says rick there's no in and out
997
00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:10.420
privileges at dances you know that because they're worried about
998
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:13.960
kids like drinking or smoking or whatever yeah and rick
999
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:16.800
says but what about them melissa and angus they're the
1000
00:51:16.820 --> 00:51:19.199
king and queen so i'm making an exception for them
1001
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:24.719
so yeah talk about talk about the what you just
1002
00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:25.420
said ryan.
1003
00:51:26.269 --> 00:51:30.030
Again, we did such a great thing of not over-dramatizing things,
1004
00:51:30.070 --> 00:51:34.469
but making them feel important and impactful. So when Angus
1005
00:51:34.550 --> 00:51:39.469
is running after Melissa because she's been humiliated, and so
1006
00:51:39.530 --> 00:51:42.739
is he, he sees Troy on the way out, and
1007
00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:45.619
he just makes this face at Troy of just sheer
1008
00:51:45.820 --> 00:51:48.239
anger and frustration, but like, I'll deal with you later
1009
00:51:48.260 --> 00:51:51.219
of how this is, but I'm just so disappointed you
1010
00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:51.960
as a human being.
1011
00:51:52.500 --> 00:51:55.550
It's a great little moment. You fundamentally betrayed me in
1012
00:51:55.570 --> 00:51:56.469
the greatest way possible.
1013
00:51:57.250 --> 00:52:01.710
Yes, exactly. Exactly. Exactly. And it's, oh, it's so good.
1014
00:52:02.110 --> 00:52:04.889
So he runs after Melissa. They're outside. Melissa says, what
1015
00:52:04.909 --> 00:52:08.389
a jerk. And then Angus says, I'm so sorry. Melissa says, no,
1016
00:52:08.409 --> 00:52:10.820
not you, Angus, him. Do you ever get tired of
1017
00:52:10.860 --> 00:52:13.920
who you are? Angus says, do you know who you're
1018
00:52:13.940 --> 00:52:19.179
talking to? Melissa, do you want to know something about me? Angus,
1019
00:52:19.500 --> 00:52:23.159
I'd like to know anything about you. And Melissa is crying.
1020
00:52:23.219 --> 00:52:25.510
She says, I'm bulimic. Do you know what that is?
1021
00:52:26.219 --> 00:52:28.010
And Angus says, yeah, that's something like you eat too
1022
00:52:28.050 --> 00:52:29.630
much and you chuck it up so you don't look
1023
00:52:29.650 --> 00:52:35.250
like me. And Melissa's response is close enough. Angus says,
1024
00:52:35.349 --> 00:52:36.929
I tried to be bulimic once and I was so
1025
00:52:36.969 --> 00:52:38.139
hungry I almost ate my arm.
1026
00:52:39.159 --> 00:52:41.739
It's an incredible line. Incredible line.
1027
00:52:41.940 --> 00:52:43.719
I feel like that's a line you would say.
1028
00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:48.960
She laughs at this. Is it really funny? Yeah. Yeah.
1029
00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:52.070
And Melissa says, I've never told anyone but you. I
1030
00:52:52.110 --> 00:52:54.510
think we have to go back inside now. And Angus says,
1031
00:52:54.630 --> 00:52:57.730
you don't understand. I cannot dance. And Melissa says, we
1032
00:52:57.750 --> 00:53:03.639
will survive. And then holds his hand. The principal announces
1033
00:53:03.699 --> 00:53:05.980
the king and queen will now dance when he sees
1034
00:53:06.300 --> 00:53:09.420
Melissa and Angus come back in. And Melissa says to Angus,
1035
00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:11.300
I picked a really slow song so we won't have
1036
00:53:11.320 --> 00:53:11.920
to move much.
1037
00:53:13.139 --> 00:53:13.840
What a nice person.
1038
00:53:14.480 --> 00:53:17.940
And then while they're dancing, she's telling Angus what to do.
1039
00:53:18.900 --> 00:53:21.699
how to dance to the slow, like, just whispering instructions
1040
00:53:21.739 --> 00:53:25.880
to him, which is so nice. She's obviously very kind.
1041
00:53:26.719 --> 00:53:32.329
And then a raptor jumps out and goes, Lex, I'm back!
1042
00:53:32.389 --> 00:53:34.889
And then disembowels her on the dance floor.
1043
00:53:35.289 --> 00:53:38.610
The whole movie was a giant setup for The Lost World.
1044
00:53:39.829 --> 00:53:44.130
And then you hear, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.
1045
00:53:44.190 --> 00:53:50.630
Grant comes in, we were too late! oh my god
1046
00:53:51.110 --> 00:53:56.829
um another soundtrack note here uh this is fade into
1047
00:53:56.869 --> 00:54:00.789
you by mazzy star a very big song um great
1048
00:54:00.829 --> 00:54:03.809
this song is forever in blaze whenever the song comes
1049
00:54:03.889 --> 00:54:05.510
on i think of this movie all the time of
1050
00:54:05.530 --> 00:54:06.750
course of.
1051
00:54:06.630 --> 00:54:11.769
Course and and then while they're slow dancing melissa rests
1052
00:54:11.809 --> 00:54:16.179
her cheek on angus's shoulder and he's basically like i
1053
00:54:16.219 --> 00:54:19.889
cannot believe this is actually happening And then this moment
1054
00:54:19.929 --> 00:54:23.389
is so wonderful, I almost want to cry. It cuts
1055
00:54:23.429 --> 00:54:25.150
to Troy in the crowd, and what does Troy say?
1056
00:54:26.590 --> 00:54:27.449
Go for it, Angus.
1057
00:54:27.869 --> 00:54:29.829
He just whispers to himself, go for it, Angus.
1058
00:54:30.969 --> 00:54:38.409
I also like that it's not... It's very earned, this moment.
1059
00:54:39.010 --> 00:54:41.869
It's done very... I don't want to say subtly, because
1060
00:54:41.889 --> 00:54:45.110
it's very blatant, but you buy it. You as a
1061
00:54:45.150 --> 00:54:49.130
viewer buy this connection they have now, and when they show,
1062
00:54:49.150 --> 00:54:51.590
especially actually to his credit, even though he's the villain
1063
00:54:51.630 --> 00:54:54.889
of the movie, when Vanderbeek looks at them, he sees
1064
00:54:55.030 --> 00:54:57.829
that there is a connection now and he's like, fuck,
1065
00:54:58.769 --> 00:55:01.250
like it, he did more damage than is good for
1066
00:55:01.269 --> 00:55:07.510
himself because he's insane. But, um, yeah, this is a great, uh,
1067
00:55:07.630 --> 00:55:10.230
dancing moment in a movie, I think. Yes.
1068
00:55:11.250 --> 00:55:13.809
And then when the song is over, everyone recognizes that
1069
00:55:13.849 --> 00:55:15.989
this actually was kind of a sweet moment and everybody
1070
00:55:16.010 --> 00:55:17.820
in the cloud craps. Craps.
1071
00:55:18.139 --> 00:55:22.179
Wow. Claps. Claps. Well, after the Velociraptor, I think they
1072
00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:23.989
probably would, right? They'd probably be pretty.
1073
00:55:24.489 --> 00:55:25.179
They all shit.
1074
00:55:25.199 --> 00:55:27.230
Holy shit!
1075
00:55:28.210 --> 00:55:32.530
So, Vanderbeek goes over to Melissa and goes, Melissa, what
1076
00:55:32.550 --> 00:55:33.050
are you doing?
1077
00:55:33.530 --> 00:55:36.269
Now he's pissed. Now he's back. Now he's completely... The
1078
00:55:36.289 --> 00:55:38.280
insecurity is entirely exposed.
1079
00:55:38.679 --> 00:55:40.679
Yeah, so he grabs her and says, what are you doing?
1080
00:55:40.699 --> 00:55:43.679
And then Angus steps in and grabs Vanderbeek and says,
1081
00:55:43.780 --> 00:55:49.630
don't touch her. And... he says, it's time I broke
1082
00:55:49.650 --> 00:55:53.199
your nose, Angus. And he says, take your best shot, asshole.
1083
00:55:53.300 --> 00:55:55.500
And I love that Van Der Beek actually knocks him
1084
00:55:55.559 --> 00:55:58.019
on his ass. Like, Van Der Beek, I think this
1085
00:55:58.079 --> 00:56:01.059
is such a great moment because it's doing the opposite
1086
00:56:01.079 --> 00:56:03.599
of what you as the viewer want to happen. You
1087
00:56:03.639 --> 00:56:06.500
want Angus to kick his ass. But Van Der Beek
1088
00:56:06.619 --> 00:56:09.059
breaks Angus' nose and punches him square in the face
1089
00:56:09.099 --> 00:56:13.059
and knocks him down. And in this moment, it's like,
1090
00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:16.320
it's the antithesis of what you want and it realizes...
1091
00:56:16.159 --> 00:56:17.130
You shouldn't want this.
1092
00:56:17.389 --> 00:56:18.489
Exactly right.
1093
00:56:19.210 --> 00:56:21.570
Angus punching Rick in the face is not the solution
1094
00:56:21.610 --> 00:56:24.630
to this. And this moment is, you've enjoyed it every
1095
00:56:24.670 --> 00:56:27.010
time that Angus has punched Rick in the face so
1096
00:56:27.030 --> 00:56:29.159
far in the movie. You've loved it. And now it's
1097
00:56:29.199 --> 00:56:32.019
showing you, oh, you actually shouldn't have loved it. This
1098
00:56:32.079 --> 00:56:33.719
is not a solution to anything. This sucks.
1099
00:56:34.500 --> 00:56:38.280
And you're beyond this now. There's no need for this. Yeah.
1100
00:56:40.619 --> 00:56:44.469
So, okay. Now this exchange is Rick Sanford, James Van
1101
00:56:44.489 --> 00:56:47.559
Der Beek. And Angus, I will be playing Rick Sanford,
1102
00:56:47.639 --> 00:56:52.719
and Angus will be played by Mr. Ryan McDonald. So Rick, me,
1103
00:56:52.920 --> 00:56:55.219
I just punched Ryan in the face, knocked him on
1104
00:56:55.260 --> 00:56:59.340
his ass, and I say, welcome to high school, Angus.
1105
00:56:59.570 --> 00:57:00.429
Good thing you're leaving.
1106
00:57:00.449 --> 00:57:06.710
I'm still here, asshole, and I'll always be here. You
1107
00:57:06.730 --> 00:57:08.710
push me down, and I'll get back up again and
1108
00:57:09.050 --> 00:57:13.210
again and again and again and again. I could beat
1109
00:57:13.250 --> 00:57:16.070
you right here, right now. But I want to be
1110
00:57:16.110 --> 00:57:17.929
better than you, Rick. I don't want to be better
1111
00:57:17.949 --> 00:57:19.949
than anybody. I want to be who I am. A
1112
00:57:20.010 --> 00:57:22.639
fat kid who's good at science and fair at football.
1113
00:57:23.019 --> 00:57:25.260
That's who I am. I can live with it. Why
1114
00:57:25.300 --> 00:57:25.739
can't you?
1115
00:57:26.320 --> 00:57:29.059
Because it's not normal. You're not normal.
1116
00:57:29.860 --> 00:57:30.829
And who is? You?
1117
00:57:31.469 --> 00:57:32.289
You bet your ass.
1118
00:57:33.230 --> 00:57:34.730
And so what? To be normal, we all have to
1119
00:57:34.789 --> 00:57:37.449
be like you. There are 400 people in this room
1120
00:57:37.489 --> 00:57:39.510
that are nothing like you. Some of them are fat.
1121
00:57:39.730 --> 00:57:41.789
Some of them are skinny. Some of them are tall.
1122
00:57:41.929 --> 00:57:43.989
Some of them are short. Some of them have braces.
1123
00:57:44.010 --> 00:57:46.739
Some of them have birthmarks or scars or frizzy hairs
1124
00:57:46.909 --> 00:57:51.889
or ears that stick out. But most of them probably walk. Sorry. Sorry. No, no.
1125
00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:53.599
I'm sorry to interrupt you. But when he says or
1126
00:57:53.739 --> 00:57:56.480
ears that stick out, Troy's head pops up and Troy
1127
00:57:56.500 --> 00:57:59.639
just has enormous ears. It's an amazing moment. But continue.
1128
00:58:00.710 --> 00:58:03.050
But most of them probably walk through these halls every day,
1129
00:58:03.349 --> 00:58:05.869
never telling anybody the truth about what they really want
1130
00:58:06.010 --> 00:58:09.070
or need or believe because of people like you. Normal
1131
00:58:09.150 --> 00:58:11.929
people like you have them terrified of being who they are.
1132
00:58:12.349 --> 00:58:14.489
I mean, if you're normal, what does that make them?
1133
00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:17.940
So which is it, Rick? Are you normal or are
1134
00:58:17.980 --> 00:58:18.760
you just one of us?
1135
00:58:19.420 --> 00:58:22.460
Whatever I am, it's something you're never going to be.
1136
00:58:24.059 --> 00:58:24.579
Thank God.
1137
00:58:26.320 --> 00:58:31.710
Mic drop. He walks off. Fantastic. And Angus walks up
1138
00:58:31.730 --> 00:58:34.329
to Melissa and Melissa says, hey, Angus, I just want
1139
00:58:34.369 --> 00:58:36.530
to dance one more time. And he goes, OK, I'll
1140
00:58:36.550 --> 00:58:38.780
go wait over here and like starts to walk away.
1141
00:58:38.820 --> 00:58:44.000
That's absolutely what he would assume in that moment. That's
1142
00:58:44.019 --> 00:58:46.440
what I would assume. And she goes, no, Angus, with you.
1143
00:58:48.199 --> 00:58:50.179
And he says, but I can't dance. And she says,
1144
00:58:50.260 --> 00:58:50.679
screw him.
1145
00:58:52.360 --> 00:58:54.739
I love that. Just that call back to the grandfather's line.
1146
00:58:54.860 --> 00:58:56.030
Screw him, Angus. Just dance.
1147
00:58:57.000 --> 00:58:59.570
So what was the line that you and Mark always reference?
1148
00:58:59.610 --> 00:59:00.610
Is it ears that stick out?
1149
00:59:01.429 --> 00:59:04.389
Ears that stick out because whenever we'll hear someone, if
1150
00:59:04.409 --> 00:59:07.050
we're at a family event or a wedding or whatever,
1151
00:59:07.090 --> 00:59:09.909
someone's making a speech, and we'll always just be like,
1152
00:59:10.070 --> 00:59:12.840
and ears that stick out just because like you're calling
1153
00:59:12.880 --> 00:59:16.239
on an individual person on without saying their name um
1154
00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:18.239
but yeah i always think of that line.
1155
00:59:18.800 --> 00:59:21.639
And then they they start playing the weezer song that's
1156
00:59:21.780 --> 00:59:22.619
so good.
1157
00:59:22.420 --> 00:59:24.960
You fucking great song.
1158
00:59:25.179 --> 00:59:28.159
To me softly i didn't know they wrote that for
1159
00:59:28.179 --> 00:59:29.039
the movie but they did.
1160
00:59:30.460 --> 00:59:32.219
Is it on Pinkerton, or am I wrong?
1161
00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:35.139
It could be. I don't know. But I know that
1162
00:59:35.179 --> 00:59:36.900
they were hired to write it for Angus.
1163
00:59:38.380 --> 00:59:42.050
But the guitar riff in this song, fucking so good. Oh,
1164
00:59:42.070 --> 00:59:42.550
my God.
1165
00:59:43.409 --> 00:59:46.530
So Angus walks over to Troy, and you don't know
1166
00:59:46.590 --> 00:59:49.809
if he's going to kill Troy based on what happened,
1167
00:59:49.849 --> 00:59:52.610
but Angus kind of knows, like, Troy is in a
1168
00:59:52.650 --> 00:59:56.309
bad spot. He's four feet tall. No one can protect him.
1169
00:59:56.769 --> 00:59:59.789
James Van Der Beek broke his arm. So he just says...
1170
01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:02.820
you want to go spaz out on the dance floor?
1171
01:00:03.300 --> 01:00:05.480
And then Troy says, watch all the dildos.
1172
01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:11.340
And then Angus says, Ryan, Troy, we are the dildos.
1173
01:00:12.969 --> 01:00:16.289
And then Angus turns, but Troy thinks he's going for
1174
01:00:16.309 --> 01:00:19.429
a high five. So with his cast hand, he does
1175
01:00:19.489 --> 01:00:22.610
the aggressive buds high five that they did earlier in
1176
01:00:22.630 --> 01:00:26.239
the movie, but Angus isn't there. So he completely whiffs.
1177
01:00:26.920 --> 01:00:28.519
And what happens, Ryan?
1178
01:00:29.429 --> 01:00:35.360
He whacks the recycling girl from the school assembly.
1179
01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:36.280
No.
1180
01:00:37.380 --> 01:00:37.780
No?
1181
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:39.320
Doesn't he hit Rick Sanford?
1182
01:00:41.059 --> 01:00:43.280
Oh, yes. Okay, I'm sorry. I thought that's how he
1183
01:00:43.300 --> 01:00:44.280
got her attention. Okay.
1184
01:00:44.639 --> 01:00:47.340
No, he whacks Rick Sanford in the nose and somebody says,
1185
01:00:47.679 --> 01:00:49.780
you broke his... Oh, and then the recycling girl says,
1186
01:00:50.079 --> 01:00:50.840
you broke his nose.
1187
01:00:51.039 --> 01:00:52.380
Oh, okay. Got you. Okay.
1188
01:00:52.780 --> 01:00:55.960
So he breaks James Van Der Beek's nose with his
1189
01:00:55.980 --> 01:00:58.280
cast and then the recycling girl, the hot recycling girl
1190
01:00:58.300 --> 01:01:00.550
walks by from earlier in the movie that gave Troy
1191
01:01:00.570 --> 01:01:03.610
a boner, and says, you broke his nose, what's your name?
1192
01:01:03.829 --> 01:01:11.230
And he says, Wedberg. Troy Wedberg. And Melissa, after the
1193
01:01:11.269 --> 01:01:14.820
dance is over, the Weezer song, says, hey Angus, will
1194
01:01:14.840 --> 01:01:18.519
you walk me home? So literally this is like the
1195
01:01:18.539 --> 01:01:21.000
greatest moment that's ever happened in Angus' life. So it
1196
01:01:21.059 --> 01:01:23.280
cuts to them walking home, and it's cold out, and
1197
01:01:23.300 --> 01:01:27.739
she's wearing a dress, so she wears Angus' plum suit jacket,
1198
01:01:28.139 --> 01:01:30.170
And she is swimming in it.
1199
01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:33.940
I love it. I love it. That was so good. Oh,
1200
01:01:33.980 --> 01:01:35.360
my God. That was so funny.
1201
01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:40.860
It is amazing. She is huge. So they just they
1202
01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:44.090
just walk home very innocently. He walks her to the
1203
01:01:44.110 --> 01:01:47.269
door and they don't like make out or anything, which
1204
01:01:47.329 --> 01:01:50.710
I think is super realistic. She just leans over and
1205
01:01:50.969 --> 01:01:54.650
kisses him on the cheek and then waves goodbye to
1206
01:01:54.690 --> 01:01:57.039
him and goes inside her house. And when he turns
1207
01:01:57.079 --> 01:01:59.280
to leave, he puts on his suit jacket and he
1208
01:01:59.320 --> 01:02:01.840
puts on his crown, which I fucking love.
1209
01:02:02.719 --> 01:02:02.880
Yeah.
1210
01:02:04.159 --> 01:02:07.599
And you hear Angus narrate, the dance ended, school closed
1211
01:02:07.619 --> 01:02:10.760
for the holiday. Rick got suspended for his little prank.
1212
01:02:11.179 --> 01:02:13.639
I got into Jefferson, but I didn't go. I said,
1213
01:02:13.699 --> 01:02:16.039
screw him. And I finally knew what it felt like
1214
01:02:16.059 --> 01:02:18.000
to be on top of the world. I finally had
1215
01:02:18.039 --> 01:02:20.739
my moment. And when it happened, I heard my grandpa's
1216
01:02:20.780 --> 01:02:24.119
voice say, now go have another. Maybe I will.
1217
01:02:24.760 --> 01:02:25.090
Who knows?
1218
01:02:25.789 --> 01:02:29.519
Maybe Melissa actually likes me. I don't know. All I
1219
01:02:29.559 --> 01:02:34.900
know is I'm still here. And then J.R. by Green
1220
01:02:34.920 --> 01:02:39.360
Day plays into the credits. The end of Angus.
1221
01:02:40.320 --> 01:02:43.570
I like how there's no epilogue. I really love that.
1222
01:02:44.070 --> 01:02:44.869
It just ends there.
1223
01:02:45.409 --> 01:02:47.530
Yeah, because it was like me and Melissa got married.
1224
01:02:47.570 --> 01:02:50.050
It's like, no. First of all, they probably would never
1225
01:02:50.110 --> 01:02:52.260
even date in high school. But, like, you think that
1226
01:02:52.280 --> 01:02:54.079
they're going to last all through high school and all
1227
01:02:54.099 --> 01:02:54.780
through college?
1228
01:02:54.900 --> 01:02:55.119
No.
1229
01:02:55.320 --> 01:02:59.090
I mean, almost certainly not. So, yeah. It would be
1230
01:02:59.130 --> 01:03:02.289
really dumb if they had, like, some fantastical epilogue that
1231
01:03:02.329 --> 01:03:04.750
was perfect. And it's just like, I don't know if
1232
01:03:04.789 --> 01:03:06.989
Melissa likes me. Maybe she does. Maybe she doesn't. But
1233
01:03:07.010 --> 01:03:11.599
this was an awesome moment, and I'm happy now. And, yeah.
1234
01:03:11.739 --> 01:03:14.309
It was just chef's kiss. It was perfect. Loved it.
1235
01:03:14.320 --> 01:03:14.500
Yeah.
1236
01:03:16.340 --> 01:03:17.050
Absolutely loved it.
1237
01:03:18.960 --> 01:03:19.210
Um....
1238
01:03:20.730 --> 01:03:23.929
So I think this is probably, in my opinion, obviously biased,
1239
01:03:24.469 --> 01:03:27.250
most underrated high school movie of all time, because nobody
1240
01:03:27.289 --> 01:03:28.530
really even knows what this movie is.
1241
01:03:29.739 --> 01:03:32.599
It really has not gotten much of like a reclamation either,
1242
01:03:33.019 --> 01:03:35.719
to be honest with you. I don't think at least.
1243
01:03:36.340 --> 01:03:38.639
So you bought me the DVD, which was very kind,
1244
01:03:39.039 --> 01:03:41.860
but it also, it is on YouTube, uh, for rental.
1245
01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:45.230
I don't think, I don't think it's streaming free anywhere.
1246
01:03:45.269 --> 01:03:47.159
And for a long time, like you couldn't find it.
1247
01:03:48.369 --> 01:03:51.190
Yeah, it was not, um, it's a new, it's a
1248
01:03:51.250 --> 01:03:57.889
new line. Um, and I think Warner brothers just started,
1249
01:03:58.010 --> 01:03:59.739
I think maybe like four or five years ago, putting
1250
01:03:59.780 --> 01:04:01.699
it like doing like a DVD that they would burn
1251
01:04:01.800 --> 01:04:02.139
for you.
1252
01:04:02.599 --> 01:04:02.860
Yeah.
1253
01:04:02.880 --> 01:04:05.159
That you could get it that way. But it, I
1254
01:04:05.179 --> 01:04:08.780
don't think it ever was like publicly like readily available releases,
1255
01:04:08.860 --> 01:04:13.840
a DVD in like the two thousands. Um, and it, again,
1256
01:04:13.880 --> 01:04:15.380
it's so weird. I used to see it on TV
1257
01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:17.280
all the time. I think when it was on video
1258
01:04:17.320 --> 01:04:19.380
and like would be on a paid channel, um, But
1259
01:04:19.519 --> 01:04:22.360
it was not circulating, I mean, to me at least,
1260
01:04:22.449 --> 01:04:25.789
ever on any of the major networks in the rest
1261
01:04:25.809 --> 01:04:31.289
of the 90s and 2000s. Yeah. But I'm really glad
1262
01:04:31.369 --> 01:04:34.969
that this just aged so well. I was just so,
1263
01:04:35.130 --> 01:04:36.150
so blown away by this.
1264
01:04:36.630 --> 01:04:41.519
It really did. It was not... There was not... So
1265
01:04:41.559 --> 01:04:43.940
I know they removed the gay father storyline, but there
1266
01:04:43.960 --> 01:04:50.280
was no casual homophobia or like really problematic, toxic, like
1267
01:04:50.320 --> 01:04:52.619
depictions of women. I mean, they talk about Melissa's body,
1268
01:04:52.659 --> 01:04:56.199
but it's really, it's like Angus is the one that
1269
01:04:56.239 --> 01:04:59.010
says like, Hey, let's not do that. That's kind of gross. Um,
1270
01:04:59.829 --> 01:05:06.409
this is, yeah, this movie, it really captures what high
1271
01:05:06.449 --> 01:05:10.239
school is actually like in middle school. Cause it's sort
1272
01:05:10.260 --> 01:05:15.300
of like a, on the crux age frame, um, age range.
1273
01:05:15.340 --> 01:05:21.420
I mean, If you're not cool. And they cast two
1274
01:05:21.659 --> 01:05:23.530
people that actually wouldn't be cool.
1275
01:05:24.690 --> 01:05:28.639
Yeah. And also. Yeah. No, go ahead. Sorry. No, no, no.
1276
01:05:28.679 --> 01:05:32.820
Go ahead. again, like to do with about freshman year,
1277
01:05:33.099 --> 01:05:35.659
I think is so interesting where like, it's not like
1278
01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:38.480
if freshmen versus seniors, like you'd seen other movies, it's like,
1279
01:05:38.599 --> 01:05:41.179
it's everybody in this movie is a freshman, but that
1280
01:05:41.619 --> 01:05:44.239
there's no like pressure of them being new. It's almost
1281
01:05:44.260 --> 01:05:47.079
like they're very established in the school. It's very strange.
1282
01:05:47.539 --> 01:05:48.980
You just don't see that that often either.
1283
01:05:49.340 --> 01:05:51.539
Well, I couldn't believe. So it was like, there's my,
1284
01:05:51.619 --> 01:05:53.699
somebody said some teacher or something goes like, there's my
1285
01:05:53.739 --> 01:05:55.840
quarterback of the JV team. And I'm like, Rick is
1286
01:05:55.889 --> 01:05:59.380
on the JV team. And then later they say, Oh,
1287
01:05:59.400 --> 01:06:02.099
you know, freshman year. And I'm like, they're freshmen.
1288
01:06:02.480 --> 01:06:04.739
That's like, I was so blown away by that. The whole,
1289
01:06:04.900 --> 01:06:07.739
everyone in the cast is freshmen. Yeah. Yeah.
1290
01:06:09.380 --> 01:06:15.050
Yeah. I, I love this movie. Superman isn't brave. Um,
1291
01:06:15.829 --> 01:06:20.829
that's my advice. Angus advice. Superman isn't brave. Superman isn't brave.
1292
01:06:21.010 --> 01:06:23.789
The hold on. Let me go through my notes. I
1293
01:06:23.829 --> 01:06:28.940
have it in capital letters. This is Angus, right?
1294
01:06:29.099 --> 01:06:29.519
Yeah, it is.
1295
01:06:31.400 --> 01:06:34.000
Here we go. Nope, that's the raptor jumping out and
1296
01:06:34.039 --> 01:06:34.780
killing Lex.
1297
01:06:35.980 --> 01:06:36.719
That was written down?
1298
01:06:37.719 --> 01:06:38.860
It was in my notes.
1299
01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:39.400
Really? Wow.
1300
01:06:40.019 --> 01:06:42.579
He's smart, he's handsome, even decent, but he's not brave.
1301
01:06:42.719 --> 01:06:45.010
He's indestructible, and you can't be brave if you're indestructible.
1302
01:06:45.030 --> 01:06:46.969
It's people like you and your mother, people who are
1303
01:06:47.030 --> 01:06:49.590
different and can be crushed and know you can be crushed,
1304
01:06:50.150 --> 01:06:52.730
yet they keep going on out there every time. That's
1305
01:06:52.769 --> 01:06:54.210
my Angus advice.
1306
01:06:55.329 --> 01:06:57.969
That's great. Yeah.
1307
01:06:58.469 --> 01:06:59.389
What's your Angus advice?
1308
01:07:00.349 --> 01:07:01.389
Screw them. Just dance.
1309
01:07:03.719 --> 01:07:06.800
Even better. Honestly, even top. It's very rare that you
1310
01:07:06.820 --> 01:07:08.400
taught my advice, but you sure did.
1311
01:07:08.420 --> 01:07:09.760
I never think of it ahead of time, but I
1312
01:07:09.760 --> 01:07:12.849
was like, this is the best one to go with. Yeah. Yeah.
1313
01:07:12.969 --> 01:07:15.130
I love there's so many podcasts where I go, Ryan,
1314
01:07:15.150 --> 01:07:15.690
what's your advice?
1315
01:07:15.710 --> 01:07:15.989
And you go.
1316
01:07:16.969 --> 01:07:20.039
Ooh, advice. And I say, we do this every time.
1317
01:07:20.519 --> 01:07:21.360
Every time we do it, Ryan.
1318
01:07:21.380 --> 01:07:22.900
I think it's better to never think of it. There's
1319
01:07:22.980 --> 01:07:24.719
only a few times I'm like, okay, this might be
1320
01:07:24.739 --> 01:07:26.559
a good one. Yeah. And it's always bad, as you
1321
01:07:26.579 --> 01:07:30.280
all heard on Breakfast Club. So there we go. Yep. Yep.
1322
01:07:30.900 --> 01:07:36.489
But yeah, thank you for listening. Love this movie. If
1323
01:07:36.510 --> 01:07:37.929
you've never seen it, go watch it.
1324
01:07:37.989 --> 01:07:38.710
Check it out, guys.
1325
01:07:38.789 --> 01:07:39.769
It's not ruined for you.
1326
01:07:40.590 --> 01:07:41.469
Check it out. You'll love it.
1327
01:07:42.150 --> 01:07:42.610
Loved it.
1328
01:07:43.690 --> 01:07:43.969
Yeah.
