00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:30.239
Greeting campers. Hi, Hi, Hi. Don't worry, guys, you'll get it.
2
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.640
You'll pick up. Welcome to a very special Camp Hope
3
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.520
edition of Mike at the Movies. Everyone. My name is Colin.
4
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.399
I'm a Mick. I watch movies, and I was born
5
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:43.320
and raised on many of the movies we're going to
6
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:48.679
be talking about today. Welcoming back to the show. He
7
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:50.920
hasn't been here in a while because he's been at
8
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.719
the Sizzler closing the place down. It's Tim.
9
00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:02.280
Welcome, Tim Phoened, Skinny Tony.
10
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.960
Pheli, Skinny Tony All. That's good. We're finally doing it, folks.
11
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.920
We're quote unquote doing Heavyweights. This has been a long
12
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:13.120
time coming. This is a movie that has been very
13
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.799
formative for myself. Tim. Basically everyone that we know can
14
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.640
quote this movie top to bottom. I think when do
15
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.519
you think Skate first sent us the text do Heavyweights?
16
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.560
Months ago when we first started the episode. This has
17
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:31.120
been a long time coming, Tim.
18
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.040
Right probably right after we decided to record a movie
19
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.959
pod or maybe the after the first one.
20
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:43.079
Yeah, and he's struggled through Do Heavyweights? Yep, he's he's
21
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.280
suffered through every episode since then and we're finally we
22
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.439
think he deserves this one, and Lord knows, we're gonna
23
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:54.959
screw up and forget countless different things that happened in
24
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.799
the nineteen ninety five movie Heavyweights. And he'll let us
25
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.159
know after the fact when he's listening to it, but
26
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:04.400
first him, just like Matthew Fox in Loss, before we
27
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.280
look ahead, we have to go back. We have to
28
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:11.280
go back. So just looking back a few quick corrections
29
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.919
notes some things that have popped up since our last
30
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:20.000
couple of episodes. We did receive a letter in some
31
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:25.400
messages from the lawyer, a lawyer representing Troy. It sounds
32
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.960
like it did actually come through in his text to
33
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.199
Tim and I, but I'm fairly certain that was his lawyer.
34
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.919
Sounded like a lot of lawyers speak that Troy was
35
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:42.280
texting us. There's some allegations regarding our reporting on Febfest
36
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:48.560
from our correspondent Skake, notably, specifically some allegations regarding if
37
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:53.879
Troy ever mentioned the movie Avatar, and then his lawyer
38
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.719
also demanded that we make a retraction and say that
39
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.719
we both had in fact been invited to Fedfest and
40
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.879
had received I believe in invitation. In writing, we've passed
41
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.639
all this on to our lawyers. We haven't had skate
42
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:11.599
sit down with the lawyers. You know, we are an
43
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:15.560
independent media company, so we stand by our reporting and
44
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.879
our correspondent. I think what is happening here is just
45
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:24.680
another example of what's unfortunately been going on in the
46
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.520
in the world in general. Is we are it's an
47
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:33.199
attempt to intimidate, pressure or you know, bully us when
48
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:39.080
we report on information that others others don't like. You know,
49
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.919
I will say we we love t Roy. We've been
50
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.319
friends with him for a long time. He does represent
51
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.000
Big Canoe. Just as there's big Big Pharma, big Tech.
52
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.439
You know, Troy represents Big Canoe, and they're a little
53
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.280
bit more conservative. They believe that, you know, people should
54
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.719
be sitting on their ass when on a watercraft. You know,
55
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.360
Tim and I have been at the fore front of
56
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.240
believing that it's okay to be able to stand up
57
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.240
on a watercraft. So there's a lot of friction there, right,
58
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.680
So our lawyers advise us not to say too much.
59
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.400
We're reviewing materials. We're going to talk with Skake, but
60
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.519
I will say that, you know, we we refuse to
61
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:24.920
be pressured or bullied here at the Worst Friends Podcast Network. Tim,
62
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.319
anything else you want to add, you know, we'll obviously
63
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.319
have follow ups and updates after our lawyers sort things out.
64
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.439
Anything else you want to add, Yeah.
65
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:37.720
I just wanted to add really quick. True, we will
66
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.759
not be bullied, but we will accept money from people
67
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.279
in lieu of bully. You know, if they want to
68
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.920
give us money, then maybe we would allow a little
69
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.199
bit of bullying. But we do know our constitutional rights,
70
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.040
and I just wanted to really quick touch on this.
71
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.360
We did get an invite for February or for feb
72
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.879
Fest twenty seventh, fab Fest obviously being held in January
73
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:06.839
twenty seven, course and every other year, and apparently there
74
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.040
was an issue. I am drawing a plank. Did we
75
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.439
record Troy's top favorite movies? Did we record a discussion
76
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:14.800
about that?
77
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.839
Yeah? We went through skkes Skake's reporting. You remember Skate
78
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.480
sent us an image of a notes app that had
79
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.160
both Troy's top five from twenty twenty five and top
80
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:27.240
all time.
81
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.879
Yes, okay, apparently it wasn't Avatar in his top five,
82
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:36.160
but Star Wars. And it is kind of funny because
83
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.639
you Roy might you know, every once in a while,
84
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.079
we might say something to Neill here way off in
85
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.040
the distance coming from Baldwin, just barely audible. You'll hear
86
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:53.639
nerds for me geek, maybe even sometimes. But I can
87
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.560
specifically remember watching Fellowship of the Rings in a dorm
88
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.279
that you and Skate both shared with Troy and also
89
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:07.480
with another fellow. And I remember watching Fellowship of the
90
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.439
Rings in that dorm and Troy specifically welcome water the
91
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:15.279
shit fucking nerds, and then a few minutes later him
92
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.560
being completely glued to the TV, not wanting to miss
93
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.199
what was happening next. So I think maybe he's got
94
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:22.600
a little bit of that nerd in him.
95
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.959
Well he's claiming, yeah, he's claiming now that suddenly an
96
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.120
all time movie for him as Star Wars. Now, look,
97
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.720
I'm not gonna say I'm the biggest Star Wars fan
98
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.240
you know, in the world, but I have based most
99
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.920
of my life and religion around those movies, have loved
100
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.720
those movies all my life. I've also known Troy most
101
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.560
of my life, have never once had a single conversation
102
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.000
with him about Star Wars. So, like, do you think
103
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.680
Troy knows who shot first Grido or Han? I don't
104
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.079
think so. Like I said, our lawyer's advised us not
105
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.279
to get into it. We're gonna do some follow up reporting.
106
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.199
We're gonna let them sort through this, but we did
107
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.720
want to address it right off the bat. Here a
108
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.519
few more quick corrections. Apologies again for my audio on
109
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.360
the A Mick in King Arthur's Court sounded like I
110
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.439
was recording in an empty oil drum. Here's hoping that
111
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.959
this sounds better. And also in that episode, wouldn't you
112
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.920
know it, a guy talking about a whole bunch of
113
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.639
bros Playing Knights. I forgot to give my best Gwenevere
114
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:29.519
in the arth Wards the Arthur Awards. Apologies to Kiera Knightley.
115
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.399
I'm gonna have to give this award to Julia Ormond
116
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:37.160
two reasons. Again, no slight to Kiera Knightley. If war
117
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.879
broke out between Ireland and England right now and they
118
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.560
said the only way that we can resolve this, Colin
119
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.079
is to make you King of Ireland, but you'll have
120
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.079
to take Kiera Knightley as your queen for the good
121
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:52.199
of both countries. Yes, I would accept that, but in
122
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.000
this case Julia Ormond was just a little bit more
123
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.079
queenly in her Queen Gwenevere, and it allows me to
124
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:02.120
tell the story that I once heard that Julia Ormond
125
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:05.319
does not have any bones in her nose, so she
126
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.319
can actually like squish the meat of her nose flat
127
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.079
against her face. I've never made any attempt to verify that,
128
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.360
but I always it's always in the back of my
129
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.800
mind when I'm watching Richard gear try to eat her
130
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.680
face in the movie First Night, because I'm looking at
131
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.240
her nose to see how much it squishes against her face.
132
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.279
So I'm sorry to that queen, but Julia Ormond does
133
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.600
take my best Gwenevere.
134
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:31.480
All right regulations to Julia.
135
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.720
Then, Oh dude, Julia Ormond is a gem even now.
136
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.480
I think last year she was like the head of
137
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.960
the can Film Festival committee things. She's still out there
138
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.720
doing her thing, So shout out to her. All right,
139
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.200
new quick segment, because we got a lot to get
140
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.919
to here. I'm calling this segment planes, tims and automobiles.
141
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.639
Even though you know everyone knows we make it's a
142
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.960
little over a million a year apiece doing this podcast.
143
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.759
Tim still keeps his day job, he doesn't, you know.
144
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:04.679
He still likes to work with the people and not
145
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:08.440
just live off our fat podcast salary. So, uh, in
146
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.000
this segment of planes, Tim's and automobiles, tell us about
147
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.080
your your work travels, Tim, what's been going on?
148
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:16.799
Yeah, that's right. I'm like Jay Leno. Jay Leno's you know,
149
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.759
famously always says I never touched my Tonight Show money.
150
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.600
You know that he just the millions upon millions of
151
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:24.679
semi load trucks of money that he made for the
152
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:26.639
Tonight Show. He just has it all in safe keeping
153
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.759
that he you know, bought his you know, six hundred
154
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.960
cars with his uh stand up money.
155
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.240
Apparently, what's the movie with what's the movie with Leno
156
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.360
and mister Miagi? Do you remember it off the top
157
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.799
of your head? I don't know, all right, you keep talking,
158
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:42.600
I'm gonna look it up.
159
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.080
Well anyhow. Uh Yeah, So during a work trip, I
160
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:51.279
went to the the Great White North of Minnesota, and uh,
161
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.000
it was actually a quite uh you know, just a
162
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.960
short trip. Flew from Grand Rapists to Chicago to Duluth, Minnesota.
163
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:00.440
Just gonna be there a few days. The first few
164
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.759
days Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, we're quite pleasant, sunny, relatively warm
165
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:10.200
for February and Minnesota. I knew Tuesday night into Wednesday morning,
166
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:11.960
there was a chance that I was gonna get pretty
167
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.799
nasty out and of course I was scheduled to leave,
168
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.360
scheduled to depart from the Duluth Airport at seven to
169
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:23.279
fifty am on Wednesday. Woke up to about, you know,
170
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.840
looked like a nice fourteen inches of snow and continuing
171
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:30.039
to look like it's coming down sideways because of the wind.
172
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:32.919
And so I woke up, it was all packed up,
173
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.720
drove to the Duluth Airport, and as I'm getting there,
174
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.720
like there is no way that at seven fifty am
175
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.519
I want to get on this plane covered in ice.
176
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:47.679
But anyhow, I'm just like whatever. I check in around
177
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.039
you know, seven o'clock am, I don't know your flight's
178
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.039
been delayed till ten am, and I'm looking at the
179
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:57.000
weather app on my phone. I'm like, it's still coming
180
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.679
down pretty good out there, still you know, blowing sideways.
181
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.279
Long story short, my flight that was supposed too late
182
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:08.399
fifty am left at approximately five thirty pm, some time
183
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.080
to kill into d Luth Airport, which has one little
184
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.960
store in one little restaurant, which were closed the whole day.
185
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.159
I decided, you know what, I got some time I'm
186
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.840
going to see what there is on Amazon, or you know,
187
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.360
see what there is on the different Hulu, the different
188
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:24.840
apps on my phone and watch something.
189
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:27.799
That was my recommendation to you is to get on
190
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:28.480
that hooplah.
191
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.840
Yeah, I ended up settling on. I was also working
192
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.039
a little bit in the airports. You know, I have
193
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.639
that rise and grind might say, but I settled on
194
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.080
Big Trouble in Little China to kill a nice couple
195
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.480
hours of my day. I just got to say that
196
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.480
Kurt Russell and John Carpenter, in my opinion, are one
197
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:49.279
of the all time director actor duos. And also Kurt
198
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.279
Russell's mullet in the eighties was the most beautiful one
199
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.759
ever on film until maybe Joe Dirt. And I just
200
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.960
wanted to mention that to keep bringing a big Joe Dirt,
201
00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.639
but definitely if you ever ever seen that movie and
202
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:03.679
you're for a nice little fun two hours of absolute
203
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:06.919
insanity and Kurt Russell just, you know, completely hamming it up.
204
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.000
And at one point he shoots a gun into the
205
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.159
air to kind of intimidate people, and he shoots like
206
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.879
the ceiling and all falls on his head. So yeah,
207
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:17.919
just what great moments in that movie.
208
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.559
Better, Better movie Big Trouble in Little China or the
209
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.360
movie Collision Course starring Jay Leno and Pat Morita from
210
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:27.399
nineteen eighty nine.
211
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:30.960
It's got to be pretty close. But I'm going to
212
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:32.720
give the edge a little bit to Big Trouble in
213
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.559
Little China just because Kurt's mullet was Jay Leno probably
214
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.919
had a mullet then too, but kurtz was probably better.
215
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:43.159
Ironically, Leno's chin is actually as long as Kurt Russell's
216
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.639
mullet in that movie, so they do. It's just like
217
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:46.919
he's standing backwards.
218
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:49.039
So are you looking at? Are you looking at like
219
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:50.759
a poster or a picture for that?
220
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:53.759
A couple of different things.
221
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:57.720
Yes, the Canadian tuxedo, the denim on denhim.
222
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:02.120
Looks like he has no leather jackets, but then also
223
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:07.720
kind of a de Niro from heat, like a suit
224
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.240
like a white or like a grayish suit. And the
225
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.559
looks like the poster classic eighties poster with Lenno and
226
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:20.000
Pat Marita miss Miagi standing back to back and Leno's
227
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:21.679
like holding a gun up with that look on his
228
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:24.320
face like how did I end up here with mister Miyagi?
229
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:26.600
Or I should say, hey, how did I end up
230
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.600
he Withyagi. All right, what else you got? We got
231
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:31.159
a lot to get to.
232
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.360
Tim, I had another another thing. I'm just gonna skip
233
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.320
over and I'm gonna go to this one. So, Colin,
234
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:40.519
have you ever been your wife ever been on the
235
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.279
couch the other end of the couch for you? She's
236
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:46.000
playing Sims on her laptop and I perhaps thinking, boy,
237
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.320
this is this would be the good life? You know,
238
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:51.919
this character that murders her husbands and is a half
239
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.679
bug or whatever. But is she ever sitting down there?
240
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:59.639
And you say, if I watch a movie? She goes, sure, Colin,
241
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.559
this is a Is this what you've been doing? Or
242
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.360
is this what you're doing? What's the name with your segment?
243
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.960
Is this what you're doing? So she's playing as you
244
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.679
go to fire up a movie, and then she looks
245
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:11.600
over from her fake life and goes, is this what
246
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.360
you're doing? Is this what you're doing? What were you doing? Tim?
247
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.320
I decided to watch the movie A Simple Plan from
248
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.840
I Believe nineteen ninety eight, directed by Sam Raimie, starring
249
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:28.720
Bill Paxson, Rip Billy, Bob Thornton, and Bridget Fonda. As
250
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.240
well as you know, you get a little bit of
251
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.279
Gary Cole in there for a little bit and stuff
252
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:34.919
like that. But have you ever seen this movie?
253
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.639
Oh? Yeah, yeah, way it's been it's been a while,
254
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.240
but I feel like that was weirdly a movie that
255
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:47.320
I watched like right when it came out, and then
256
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:51.480
maybe revisited it once. But it's been a long time.
257
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:54.039
The the thing that comes to mind now with the
258
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.480
Simple Plan is, and I'm stealing this as a bit
259
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.000
from I don't know if you were going to talk
260
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.360
about this from Blank Check. On that podcast, one of
261
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.120
their producers claims that if he ever found himself in
262
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.000
the situation of a Simple Plan, it wouldn't go bad
263
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.320
at all and he would just like live happily with
264
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.559
the money the rest of his life. That's the most
265
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:12.919
that's been in my life recently.
266
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.000
Yeah, so I've actually after watched this event. I started
267
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.000
listening to that episode yesterday and it was the producer said,
268
00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:21.519
I would do everything right and it'd live on a
269
00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:29.879
private island. Yeah, but man, this was you know Sam Raimie,
270
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:33.720
He's well known for his horror, schlocky type films and
271
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:38.240
obviously the Spider Man trilogy. I didn't really know what
272
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.000
to expect you know, I knew it was like they
273
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.519
find money in a plane. In a plane, they find
274
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:44.519
a crash plane and there's a bag of money in it,
275
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.159
and then you know, quickly things start going sideways when
276
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.639
they deserved or when they decide to keep the money.
277
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:54.440
But I gotta say, uh, and you know, I've kind
278
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:57.080
of soured on the Sky in recent years Billy Bob Thornton.
279
00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:58.960
I don't know why. I don't really know why I've
280
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.360
soured on him. I think maybe just because every time
281
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.039
I open Facebook there's like these AI generated things of
282
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.840
Billy Bob Thornton and the Landman criticized the view and
283
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.240
fans can't get you know, and it's just like, really.
284
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.919
See, I haven't seen I haven't seen any of that
285
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.440
my and sorry to interrupt, it's you know, and I
286
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.720
never do this on the episode, but it's because he's
287
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:22.679
just gone to TV. That was my really, quol Lie.
288
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.120
There was Goliath, which was on Like Stars, and now
289
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:28.919
he's on like land Man. And I did like him
290
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:32.480
in that stint on Fargo, but to because I agree
291
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.360
with you, and I tried to think, I'm like, why
292
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:36.240
am I kind of you know, Iffy, It's just because
293
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:38.600
I haven't seen him in any movies lately, but I'm sorry,
294
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:38.840
go on.
295
00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.559
Also, when he does those T mobile commercials, he clearly
296
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:46.720
is trying to become Timothy Oliphant in those. Uh but
297
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.799
all that aside, all that aside, I must say, in
298
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:55.200
a simple plan, you know, my god, he was an
299
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.120
absolute tour to force in that he got nominated for
300
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.960
Best Supporting Actor in a I was listening to, like
301
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.080
I said to blank Check and Kevin Smith was on there,
302
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:05.720
and he was I agree with Kevin Smith, Like how
303
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:08.000
he did not win in the blank Chunk guys agreed
304
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:10.160
to like how he did not win was beyond me
305
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:14.039
because that was that was, I mean, just an all
306
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:17.599
time great performance. And it got me kind of thinking
307
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.240
because Bill Paxson's in that movie too. Another you know
308
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.279
a guy that we really love, I would say, is
309
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.240
Bill Paxton, whether it's you know, a small role like
310
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:28.440
in True Lies as the slime Ball, or you know
311
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:31.319
in Aliens when he's completely losing his ship, or in
312
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:33.799
movies like This and Twister where he was a leading man.
313
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:38.359
I mean, I felt Bill Paxson was awesome, but it
314
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:40.079
kind of got me thinking, you know, we we have
315
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.519
the Chris Rankings. Maybe someday we could tackle this is
316
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:47.240
just something that you on, just something on now. Maybe
317
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:50.960
we could tackle the the Bill slash Billy Rankings, you know,
318
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.839
with Paxon and Pullman and Billy Bob Thornton and of
319
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:58.039
course Billy Baldwin and uh Arrest. I don't know why
320
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.759
Billy Baldwin is Billy Crystal. You know, there's a lot
321
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.279
of good Bills and Billies out there. I would exclude
322
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.559
the Williams just because you know, they're trying to be
323
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:08.519
a little bit They're they're trying to be a little
324
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:10.799
bit you know, high and mighty with all that.
325
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:16.200
But okay, that you hey, you know what I'm taking it.
326
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:18.920
I'm putting a little A one on it. I'm swapped,
327
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.359
you know, slushing it around in the A one. What
328
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.920
I was trying to do was find find who he
329
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:31.920
lost to in the Oscars that year. And once, you
330
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:35.119
know what, the Oscars doesn't have that fan friendly of
331
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.720
a website, so let me keep he was probably in
332
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:39.720
a supporting role.
333
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.319
Yeah, we see the supporting role.
334
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:46.440
Okay, then I think I'm in the wrong year and.
335
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:48.640
I think the movie was in ninety eight, so maybe
336
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:50.720
it was in ninety nine the Oscars.
337
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:53.640
Good good, call him in the ninety eight Oscars. So
338
00:18:53.720 --> 00:19:00.599
let me do this nineteen ninety nine Oscars. Getting there.
339
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:07.200
I'm almost there. Keep vamping, keep vamping at.
340
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.359
Bills and billies. Okay, good, Oh.
341
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.640
But it doesn't tell me who oh, No, it does
342
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:13.839
tell me the winner. All right. So you got Billy
343
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:18.119
Bob Thornton, a simple plan, Jeffrey Rush, Shakespeare in Love,
344
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:24.720
Ed Harris, The Truman Show, and apologies to this man.
345
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:26.319
He's a great We're going to talk about him in
346
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.319
another episode. But Robert Duvall was nominated for a civil action.
347
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:32.200
Do you remember a civil action? Tim?
348
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:33.319
I don't.
349
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:40.200
But the winner goes to James Coburn for Affliction. You'll
350
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.759
notice that there was no ding from mort in that
351
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.680
pause that we gave right there. Okay, I'm sorry to
352
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.839
James Coburn. I probably would recognize him if he came
353
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:51.079
up to me on the street. This is the first
354
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:53.720
and last time I've ever heard of the movie Affliction, so.
355
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:55.079
You're probably right.
356
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:59.119
Okay, all right, so the Billy Bob's I did kind
357
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:00.599
of start to tune you up when you wanted to
358
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.200
do all the lists and rankings, of all the Bobs
359
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.400
and brothers in Bros. If I had to, off the
360
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:13.599
top of my head, Billy Bob rankings number three, Tombstone
361
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:17.720
when he gets pistol whipped by the afore mentioned Kurt Russell,
362
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:27.079
number two, Armageddon number three, get him man deep potato repetatos.
363
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:32.160
That would be sling Blade. Also then Robert Duval play
364
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:37.200
his dad in sing sling Blade? Am I misremembering that? I?
365
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:39.079
You know, I haven't seen that movie in so long?
366
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:44.279
Sometimes come on, TikTok a little bit, I do. I
367
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.279
you quote it quite a bit though, because whenever I
368
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.559
have to get in the car after my wife has
369
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:51.880
driven it, I always say his quote when he fixed
370
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.079
the guy's like, can you fix this lawnmore? What's wrong
371
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:58.640
with it? And he goes he ain't got no gas
372
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.640
really quick, you know, just just to put a bow
373
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.519
on Billy Bob here for a second. Sling Blade was
374
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:10.799
also written and directed by him, so that is quite
375
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:11.759
quite a.
376
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:15.880
He was an all tour. He was an all tour, Like,
377
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:17.720
why is he still not doing that? Like if you
378
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:20.759
told me that Billy Bob is writing, directing, and starring
379
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:24.720
in a movie, right, you know, coming up? I would
380
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:27.920
put that right in the middle of the list of
381
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.240
movies that I may or may not bailon, you know, like,
382
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:32.599
keep doing that. I don't know why you're doing.
383
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:34.359
Because he directed all the pretty horses.
384
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:37.400
All right, you're right. It probably went south after that.
385
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:40.960
I did send you something when when Robert Duval passed away.
386
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:43.400
There are all these nice things going around, and it's
387
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:47.200
someone in some article quoted how Robert Duval called Billy
388
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:52.720
Bob Thornton the redneck citizen Kane or the redneck Orson. Wells,
389
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:55.400
I thought that was but they made a point to say, like,
390
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:57.960
but he said it in love. That's just how Robert.
391
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:02.839
She said it with love. So okay, all right, were
392
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:04.480
ready to move on? You got anything else?
393
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:09.400
Yeah, I had another suggestion, but I'm gonna I'm gonna
394
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:11.279
cut it, gonna table it.
395
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:17.000
Okay, Well, speaking of unfortunate passings aways again, we're gonna
396
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.160
get to We're gonna give Duval kind of his his
397
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:23.039
own flowers and love in a different episode. But we
398
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.200
also lost James Vanderbeek recently, so you know, rest in
399
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:31.079
paddling James Vanderbeek, he's super young, really sad, you know,
400
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:35.359
only a couple of years older than us. I had
401
00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:38.599
known he was sick. They did some Dawson's Creek reunion
402
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:40.720
maybe like a year or so ago, and like everyone
403
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:43.720
was there except for him, but he like video conference Dan,
404
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:46.119
and you could see he was really sick, just just
405
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:49.400
terrible rest in paddling to him. I do feel bad
406
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:52.359
because when I found out he died, I'm like, oh,
407
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:55.039
I wonder if we should talk about him on the podcast.
408
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.359
But he's more of a TV guy, you know, He's
409
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.920
more like Dawson's Creek, you know, to me. And then
410
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:02.559
I don't know if it was right away or shortly
411
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:04.519
after him, like what the hell am I talking about?
412
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.319
He he made a very, you know, indelible impact in
413
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:11.880
the world of movies, especially for people our age, with
414
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:16.920
the classic Varsity Blues, and so it kind of worked out.
415
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.599
It's never good when something works out well that an
416
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:22.000
actor died and we were already going to talk about stuff,
417
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.880
But Varsity Blues does kind of fit into the latter
418
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:28.400
end of an era of movies we're going to talk about,
419
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:31.799
but we won't spend a lot of time on Varsity Blues.
420
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:34.000
But Tim, you can agree that that was about as
421
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.960
accurate a depiction of playing football in high school. As
422
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:40.720
you know, that was basically a documentary. We would always
423
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:45.799
steal cop cars, you know, drink beers on the field
424
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:51.319
after the game, like James Conn's tweeter, did anything else
425
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:56.039
like Varsity Blues related and then any other quick you
426
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:58.440
know Vanderbeek thoughts and roles.
427
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:01.960
I can't remember Varsity Blues really well. And I think
428
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.920
we've talked about this before, one with John Vavoight or
429
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:07.000
is that the one with Billy Bob as the coach.
430
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:10.119
Now Billy Bob was Friday Night Lights. Okay, so that's
431
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:13.160
maybe that should that should be somewhere in the Billy
432
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:16.079
Bob rankings. I'm sorry to that, Billy Bob, but no,
433
00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:20.559
crazy John Voight. Remember James Vanderbeeks, the backup quarterback, that
434
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:25.160
beautiful hunk of blonde hair. Also, man, I really hope
435
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:28.440
Vanderbeek and Paul Walker are up there on some stand
436
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:30.119
up paddle boards in heaven right now.
437
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:34.000
That's how I'm the big Lineman guy too. He's dead too, man,
438
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:35.680
is he really? Yep?
439
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:38.519
Wasn't his name Billy Bob? I do the movie?
440
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:41.079
I don't know again, this is gonna make me sell
441
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:42.880
like an asshole. I always get to mix up with
442
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:45.920
a Reggie Ray from not another Team movie.
443
00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:48.880
All Right, I'm gonna I'm gonna have to look this.
444
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:50.759
Do you think it was from all the concussions that
445
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:54.960
his character suffered? Is it? Are you able to think
446
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:58.200
of Varsity Blues without also thinking about not another teen
447
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:00.200
movie where they just make fun of Varsity.
448
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:05.000
Not I'm not. Unfortunately I can't really quick while you're
449
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:06.960
looking it up. There was some other Vanderbeek things I
450
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:10.079
wanted to mention I don't like. Also, when we were
451
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:12.839
in college, that movie Rules of Attraction started kind of
452
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:15.920
circulating them a little bit. Good The Weak is kind
453
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:21.160
of like a borderline sex addict sociopath college student dealing
454
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:24.799
with you know, the rules of attraction and people being
455
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:26.680
obsessed with each other and stuff like that, like.
456
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:28.880
A little more raunchier and like a little more like
457
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:32.759
of a of an edgy or sassy movie, wasn't it?
458
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:38.279
Yeah? Yeah, okay? And then had what's up?
459
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:39.960
Go ahead? Go ahead?
460
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:44.079
He also had a brief cameo role him and you
461
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:47.759
know half of the Screen Actors Guild had a brief
462
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:50.839
cameo role in Jans Bob Strike Back when he was
463
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:56.920
cast to play a Jay's alter ego Chronic in the
464
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.359
blunt Man and Chronic movie, where he was, you know,
465
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.319
playing the Jay character and Jason Biggs was playing the
466
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:07.400
Silent Bob character. It was always a kind of funny,
467
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:15.000
funny little scene when he seems like in your Dawson, you.
468
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:19.200
Were not wrong, You were not wrong. Ron Lester, who
469
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:24.319
played Billy Bob, did pass away in June of twenty sixteen.
470
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:29.240
So hopefully he's up there paddleboarding too. And I don't
471
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:33.480
want to while I have everyone in because this is
472
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:35.319
breaking news. I did not know this. And now I
473
00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:38.240
have to go back and rewatch Varsity Blues because I'm
474
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:42.400
looking at the cast. You remember Paul Walker played. His
475
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:46.839
character's name was Lance Harbor. Well, as I scrolled down
476
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:50.319
the cast list, here I see that there was a
477
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:54.000
Tommy Harbor must have been like a younger brother to Lance,
478
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:58.960
played by Jesse Plemmons. Did you know this? Plemmons was
479
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:03.920
in Varsity Blue. No, stop the pod. We're gonna just
480
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:09.000
we're never gonna top this finding this out, but anymore so?
481
00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:10.039
Uh?
482
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.480
Any other? So Jay and Silbob rules of Attraction. And
483
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:16.720
then I see here in the notes you saw vander
484
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:19.319
beekon an episode of Modern Family. Was there anything else
485
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:21.480
other than you just saw him in an episode of
486
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:22.200
Modern Family?
487
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.039
It was no, that wasn't It was just he was
488
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:31.319
he played himself, you know, Like I don't want to
489
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:33.839
get too much into it because I don't know who
490
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:35.720
out there is familiar with the show. But there's a
491
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:40.480
character named Cameron who's from Missouri. Now he lives in uh, California,
492
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:42.839
and his it's a big joke. You know, he's always
493
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.160
talking about his country life or farmer life back in
494
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:47.920
you know, Missouri, and his wife is pregnant and comes
495
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:51.319
to live with them, and we find out the baby
496
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.279
daddy is James Vanderbeek. Is like this loser. They also
497
00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:57.759
Cam and his partner Mitchell, are gay, and they you know,
498
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:01.680
like he is very hot. You know, like when they
499
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:03.480
finally kick him out of the house, he goes outside
500
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:06.240
the door drop something he like just bend's over and
501
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:08.519
holds it so they're like, you know, staring at his ass.
502
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:13.079
It's pretty funny, oh dice, he was. It's sad he
503
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:15.079
was a hunk. I mean, people are gonna remember, They're
504
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.440
gonna remember James Vanderbeek they're gonna and some people might
505
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:20.759
just remember him from the crying meme, from the crying
506
00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:24.960
James Vanderbeek meme, because man, I mean you and I
507
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:27.519
sat through you watched a good chunk of that Dawson's Creek,
508
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:32.119
and the dorms at at Central right, like the CW
509
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:35.000
or something would just play Dawson's Creek on in some
510
00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:37.359
channel in the dorms and we would just get up
511
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:40.519
in the morning, watch Dawson's Creek, go to class, maybe
512
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:44.559
go to class, steal bikes, come back, watch more Dawson's Creek.
513
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:45.279
Do you remember that?
514
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:48.839
I see I remember. I would go hang out with
515
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:51.039
you guys in your dorm and Skake of all people,
516
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:53.079
is like a champion for Dawson's Creek.
517
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:57.480
Like, dude, I love Dawson's Creek. And someone someone that
518
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:00.200
we're going to talk about a lot coming up here,
519
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:05.000
just every other episode was stealing Dawson's girl. Joshua Jackson
520
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:08.319
came into that show and just whoever Dawson was pining over,
521
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:12.759
Bam Pacey just swoop right in and take that girl
522
00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:16.200
away from him. So we're gonna talk about Joshua Jackson here,
523
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:19.720
who thankfully is still with us rest in paddling though.
524
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:25.279
To Vanderbeet, so Varsity Blues helps kind of lead us
525
00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:29.200
into the main topic today. And I'm a little nervous.
526
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:31.799
You can hear it in my voice because, to quote
527
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:36.039
Chris Parnell from the movie Anchorman, this is a big one.
528
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:38.720
This is a big episode for us, tim this is
529
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:42.720
a big one. We've been talking talking about doing heavyweights.
530
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:46.480
Heavyweights kind of expanded into I think at some point
531
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:50.200
Skake sa and all those nineties movies Mighty Ducks, you know,
532
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:53.960
And so we really tried to do the work here,
533
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:58.000
do the research. We had our crack team of researchers
534
00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:03.079
aka me and you try and go through and make
535
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:05.039
a list and kind of make sense of the era
536
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:07.920
of movies that I think Skate wanted us to touch on,
537
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:12.119
namely the nineties. Some of them are Disney, not all
538
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:18.279
of them are Disney kid oriented films, a lot of
539
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:23.319
them revolving around sports. I think it helped that you
540
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:26.400
may scake all of us, even though remember Scake's like
541
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:28.759
ten years younger than us. That's always weird. We always
542
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:32.160
forget how old Skake is, but he still remembers all
543
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:34.440
of these movies. Most of them are nineties movies, but
544
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.400
we went through and try to make a list and
545
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.759
attempt to define this era. I'm going to give a
546
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:44.400
brief kind of big picture overview. I'm going to name
547
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:46.640
a lot of movies in years, and then we're going
548
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:50.200
to drill down talk about some specifically, and then we're
549
00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:52.720
going to wrap the show up with more or less
550
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:58.079
a deep dive close to a rewatch in real time
551
00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:01.079
of Heavyweights itself, to make sure we try not to
552
00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:06.119
miss anything. Now, Varsity Blues was in nineteen ninety nine. Now,
553
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:09.000
for the sake of this exercise, I look at that
554
00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:12.039
as kind of the end of this era of movies
555
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:15.079
that we're looking at, and it's basically when us as
556
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:19.960
young young boys grew into men. By the time it
557
00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:22.640
was nineteen ninety nine, I'm hoping most of us had
558
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:25.400
hit puberty and we were thinking about things a little
559
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:28.200
bit differently, and Varsity Blues kind of spoke to that.
560
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:35.400
I'm talking specifically about the ice cream Sunday bathing suit
561
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:37.799
that one of the characters wears in Varsity Blues. I
562
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.559
don't think about that a lot, But so going back though,
563
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.480
when you think about the eighties, kind of quote unquote
564
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.279
kids movies. In the eighties, there weren't a lot of
565
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.000
kids movies. It was the teenager young adult what I
566
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:56.319
call the John Hughes era. So you had Breakfast club
567
00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.839
sant elmos Fire, Pretty in Pink that more or less
568
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:03.839
dominated the eighties, and those movies were great, but if
569
00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:06.240
there were younger kids in them, they were mostly like
570
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:10.079
secondary characters. It wasn't until we got into the nineties.
571
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:12.559
And I'm kind of drawing the line of Home Alone
572
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:18.039
in nineteen ninety, even though that's Hugh's related Hughes adjacent,
573
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:21.880
I'm calling that the unofficial end of the Hughes era
574
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:24.839
and the start of what we know as the kind
575
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:29.720
of nineties just for kids era. That sound good so far, Tim,
576
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:32.680
Do you agree with the big picture looks so far?
577
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:36.279
Yeah? I would say the only movie I can think of,
578
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:38.480
like Top of Mind from the eighties that I would
579
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:41.119
really call like a just for kids movie, I would
580
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:44.759
say is Goonies. But other than that, you're right, you know,
581
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:47.359
most people think of it as kind of the quote
582
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:53.480
unquote Brett Pack with Emilia Svez, Judd Nelson and I
583
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:54.160
can't rememb.
584
00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:56.559
Molly Ringwold.
585
00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:58.680
Yes, Yes, Goonies.
586
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:01.200
Goonies is good. I think Goonies is a little bit
587
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:05.519
more Spielberg adjacent. You know, Spielberg did a good job of,
588
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:09.359
like with e T, bringing the kids point of view
589
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:13.960
into movies. Goonies is a good, a good kind of
590
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:18.799
early early example of what we're going to look through.
591
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:20.240
But let me go through. I'm going to do something
592
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:23.160
that's amazing on podcasts, and that's just read a list
593
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:27.720
of things. But I'm going to I'm going to start.
594
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:29.279
There are a couple of movies I have on this
595
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:35.039
list that were before nineteen ninety and I will come
596
00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:37.079
back to them in a second, but just starting at
597
00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:41.880
nineteen ninety with Home Alone nineteen ninety one, Ernest Scared Stupid,
598
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:45.640
and Toy Soldiers. Toy Soldiers was one I wasn't very
599
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:48.319
familiar with until going on the Gold Trip with Jay
600
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:51.200
and Rye. I always thought Toy Soldiers was that movie
601
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:56.720
with the plastic soldiers. This is the OCE, but no,
602
00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:00.519
it has Oh gosh, I'm forgetting Rudy's name, Seant and
603
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:05.960
don Asten and yep, Toy Soldiers and Ernest Scared Stupid
604
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:11.559
nineteen ninety one, nineteen ninety two, Lady Bugs, the Mighty Ducks,
605
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:15.599
Cool Runnings. Oh no way, I skipped ahead. So nineteen
606
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:17.639
ninety two we get Lady Bugs in the Mighty Ducks.
607
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:20.280
Now the Mighty Ducks interject because I didn't know this
608
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.880
was in reverse chronological order until I just looked at it. Now.
609
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:27.840
Also in nineteen ninety two, three Ninjas.
610
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:29.800
Okay, put that down in there. That's a big one.
611
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:32.920
I got it. But it's just not in the right
612
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:33.880
That's okay.
613
00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:37.639
You just now noticed I had these all in chronological order.
614
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:42.000
Three Ninjas is a good one. Mighty Ducks is one
615
00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:45.159
we will come back to because I think this is
616
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:48.159
where the template was starting to build, and we'll see
617
00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:51.599
a lot of Mighty Ducks actors and some other things
618
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:54.119
that we're going to watch. Nineteen ninety three. I don't
619
00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:56.880
really agree with this, but Cooler Runnings. Are there even
620
00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:59.280
any kids in Cool Runnings?
621
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.280
Don't know? I look at it as these mid ninety
622
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:05.519
early to mid nineties PG movies, is what I'm thinking.
623
00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:09.639
Okay, So nineteen ninety three Cool Runnings Rookie of the Year.
624
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:14.000
Hocus Pocus. Now I put hocus Pocus in here mainly
625
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:18.480
because of a very early affection for the actress of
626
00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:21.599
Vanessa Shaw, who was in the movie Lady Bugs. I
627
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:23.920
will be coming back to Lady Bugs, but that's why
628
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:26.639
I put hocus Pocus in, and that's fairly kid oriented.
629
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:30.519
And also in nineteen ninety three The Sandlot. We'll come
630
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:33.400
back to it, but let me keep going. Nineteen ninety four,
631
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:37.199
now this is I think this is the peak. This
632
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:39.800
is where we're getting a glut of you know, the
633
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:44.880
studios have realized, hey, there's some money in making maybe
634
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:50.760
sports related, but just young, kid focused comedies with one
635
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:53.920
or two, you know, adult stars that you recognize, not
636
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:57.000
adult movie stars, but just grown ups who are adults
637
00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:59.360
that are in these. So nineteen ninety four, listen to
638
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:05.079
this list. Mighty Ducks two, The page Master, Young Macaulay Culkin,
639
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:10.840
very underrated. Also mcauleay, Colchin, Richie rich Blank check what
640
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:15.400
I call the Little Trilogy, Little Rascals, Little big League,
641
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:19.320
Little Giants all in nineteen ninety four. And then Angels
642
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:21.840
in the Outfield. It's his name, Rowan Gardner.
643
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:24.440
Angels in the Outfield.
644
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:26.840
I think Skate likes to think his middle name is
645
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:31.360
Rowan Gardner. Oh no, that's Rookie of the Year. I
646
00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:33.199
think it's the same actor, isn't it. Let me keep
647
00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:34.079
going almost.
648
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:38.039
In the outfield as Joseph Gordon Levitt.
649
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:38.840
Angels in the outfield, I get him and the kid
650
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:40.480
that plays Row and Gardner mixed up.
651
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:44.159
We're going to say which one isn't there one with
652
00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:47.440
uh one of the guys from American Pie.
653
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:51.880
We're going to come back to that nineteen ninety five.
654
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:55.639
I disagree with both of these entries in nineteen ninety
655
00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:58.559
five by I'm na read them anyway, Operation Dumbo Drop.
656
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:00.920
I don't think they were I don't think kids were
657
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:04.639
allowed to be around Ray Liota. But anyway, Babe, I
658
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:06.880
think that movie was all about animals and there were
659
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:10.599
no kids. Continuing in nineteen ninety five, the same kid
660
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:14.760
who is in Rookie of the Year, a kid in
661
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:18.920
King Arthur's Court. Thank you to Skate for pointing out.
662
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:21.599
I didn't mention that in my King Arthur episode. I'm
663
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:25.679
almost done. Nineteen ninety five Man of the House, the
664
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:30.400
Big Green, and then finally Heavyweights. There were a few
665
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:33.480
more after nineteen ninety five, so we're talking. You know.
666
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:36.760
Heavyweights comes at a time when I think the formula
667
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:40.480
has been absolutely perfected. In nineteen ninety six, we get
668
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:44.159
Mighty Ducks three. I'm not a fan of that in
669
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:49.159
nineteen ninety seven because Tim believes both in the Tim
670
00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:52.000
believes in both Tim Allen's acting ability and all of
671
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:55.199
his political views. Tim had to add Jungle to Jungle
672
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:58.239
in nineteen ninety seven, and then Varsity Blues in nineteen
673
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:02.039
ninety nine. Whow okay, there was a lot there. Do
674
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:04.360
we want to answer the Rookie of the Year American
675
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.400
Pie Kid question first? Or where do you want to
676
00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:08.559
go to on this list?
677
00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:12.440
Just I just want to touch on really quick, just because,
678
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:16.360
as I've said in the past, it's all connecting. Man
679
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:21.719
Pree Ninja's the grandfather is played by Victor Wong, who
680
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:25.239
also plays egg Shane in Big eggsh In Big Trouble
681
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:28.559
in Little China. And then I also mentioned Modern Family
682
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:32.039
earlier and my wife and I that's kind of you know,
683
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:36.719
our background Noise show right now. The best relationship on
684
00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:40.199
that show is Ed O'Neill. As you know, Jay Pritchett,
685
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:44.599
the mid sixties man married to of course Sophia Virgara,
686
00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:49.960
the much younger, uh you know, Tina Bombshell. But honestly
687
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:52.360
they are in I Don't Neil is God, he's so
688
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:55.280
funny in that show. But again in Little Giants, I
689
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:58.159
know we're probably not gonna touch on this much. The
690
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:02.239
quotes he hasn't uh Little Giants and just him overall
691
00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:05.639
chewing his gum and with his sunglasses on chewing his gum.
692
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:08.199
Look at him. God, he's so great in that movie.
693
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:10.920
So those are the two I wanted to touch on,
694
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:14.360
just to prove again that it's all connected, man.
695
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:19.400
It's all connected. Man. We we just did a rewatch. Well,
696
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:23.800
my creatures from the lagoon had never watched Little Giants,
697
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:27.000
so I maybe about a month ago we did a
698
00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:28.199
Little Giants watch.
699
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:30.639
I gotta go chase my cat into the basement because
700
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:32.280
she's being ridiculous, so.
701
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:38.559
Sounds I'm gonna go get more coffee. Go do that. Okay,
702
00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:41.280
hopefully she didn't get run over. So Little Giants we
703
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:44.639
just did a rewatch, And you're absolutely right at O'Neill's
704
00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:48.320
amazing in it. And you can tell that they whether
705
00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:51.360
it was you know, him giving notes or him kind
706
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:54.800
of making demands, they don't make him the full villain
707
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:57.760
of that movie, which I think works out well. You
708
00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:00.639
know as every time you think he's gonna go like
709
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:03.760
full bad guy, he'll have a nice moment where he
710
00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:06.159
sits down and like talks with the ice box and
711
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:09.480
tells her she's beautiful, or you know, he'll make all
712
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:11.320
these demands, but then he kind of gives in and
713
00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:12.079
sees the lights.
714
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:12.280
You know.
715
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:16.400
He he obviously has the the kind of the machiese
716
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:20.000
mo and the you know, winning at all costs mentality
717
00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:23.320
at the beginning, but kind of sees the light and
718
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:25.559
they do a good job to humanize him and not
719
00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:30.280
make him. You know again, Ben Stiller in Heavyweights is
720
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:34.159
a lot different than the Ed O'Neil character in Little Giants.
721
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:36.079
You know, there's a way you could do these movies,
722
00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:38.760
and they would do these movies where the bad guy
723
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:42.079
is the bad guy over the top, no redeeming them.
724
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:45.280
Ed O'Neil to his credit because of how likable he is.
725
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:48.639
They just couldn't quite do that in Little Giants, So
726
00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:52.480
good call. It was also fun trying to explain to
727
00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:58.639
my children who John Madden was, and yeah, the them
728
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.000
finally realizing that that's why the video their football video
729
00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:05.840
game that they play is called that, right, They just
730
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:08.880
thought that you get mad, you get Madden Play Play Football.
731
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:13.239
It's Madden Football, all right, because Skate's probably screaming at
732
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:16.480
the Uh what do you think what would he scream
733
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:18.599
at I guess his phone while he's listening to this.
734
00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:23.840
So thomas Ian Nicholas, who you had mentioned from American
735
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:28.199
Pie Yes, was both the Rookie of the Year and
736
00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:33.119
also a kid in King Arthur's Court Angels in the Outfield,
737
00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:38.920
You are right, was Uh, where's his name? I'm forgetting
738
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:42.559
his name just because I'm realizing that Tony Danza and
739
00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:47.239
Danny Glover were also in Angels in the Outfield and.
740
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:50.719
Christopher Lloyd, Oh yeah, he was an angel.
741
00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:56.280
What's his name? Joseph Gordon Levitt. I was totally blanking
742
00:41:56.320 --> 00:42:04.000
on Robin there. Okay, So we've talked about Little Giants,
743
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:09.639
Tim loves At O'Neill, we've touched on the I'm sorry, Skake,
744
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:11.480
We're not going to go through every single one of these.
745
00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:13.480
I think we've said about as much as we want
746
00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:17.320
to about Rookie of the Year and a kid in
747
00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:19.800
King Arthur's Court. What's another one of these that we
748
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:22.039
ran through that you want to spend some time on?
749
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:24.760
Tim The only other one I think that we need
750
00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:26.840
to make sure we give a little bit of a
751
00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:30.280
little bit of extra time too, I would say, is
752
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:34.199
the Sandlot. I think that's pretty iconic, you know, whether
753
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:37.599
it's the insult fight between the Sandlot players and the
754
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:39.880
Little League team that ends with you play ball like
755
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:42.480
a girl that kind of, you know, is like crossing
756
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:46.000
the line, or you know the iconic scene with the
757
00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:49.400
chew everyone taking some chow before they get on the
758
00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:52.760
what do they call it the crazy dance and then
759
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:57.639
you know, proceed to vomit all over the course that
760
00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:01.199
has a Michigan Michigan man Jane Old Jones as you know,
761
00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:04.199
the big scary blind guy who everyone's afraid to go
762
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:06.159
in his yard but turns out, you know, he's just
763
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:10.320
a old nice fella. That is you know, what was
764
00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:15.679
the dog's name, beast actual name? I don't know, I
765
00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:16.920
know it dog.
766
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:22.920
Had a name, didn't that you The said Law's awesome
767
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:25.960
by kids have all have all also gotten into a
768
00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:32.159
rhythm of just kind of rewatching binging that movie. It
769
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:35.519
did have the what did they call specs? Oh no, squints,
770
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:40.280
squints squints, good nicknames in it. Obviously there's Smalls led
771
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:43.480
to you know, how often have you heard you killing me? Smalls?
772
00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:48.039
You know, right right from from that movie Squints, the
773
00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:51.639
scene where he, uh, I get it worries me to
774
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:54.639
for my kids to watch these things and get any ideas.
775
00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:57.639
But Squints famously pretends to drowned just so he can
776
00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:01.440
get mouth to mouth from the uh from you know
777
00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:05.280
these movies again, Varsity Blues is when it was like, okay,
778
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:09.920
we're just gonna go like full you know, sexual awakening here.
779
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:12.320
But all these movies would have just a little bit
780
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:17.440
of a you know, hints or a nod towards you know, hey,
781
00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:20.039
you know when you get a little bit older, you
782
00:44:20.039 --> 00:44:21.679
ever think you can find a girl of trying to
783
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:25.320
kiss you? Probably not. Okay, I'm pretend to drowned, and
784
00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:27.079
then when she gives me mouth to mouth. That's how
785
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:28.000
I'll figure this out.
786
00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:28.239
You know.
787
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:31.119
It gave lots of very poor ideas, but it did
788
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:34.679
start to put those ideas in your head. It also
789
00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:42.400
had the curly redheaded kid Ham and now Ham now
790
00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:44.360
that actor Patrick.
791
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:46.880
Renna Patrick, I was gonna say Patrick Renner, right.
792
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:50.519
Patrick Renna. He parlayed that into another movie that was
793
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:53.719
on our list. Big Green. Now, I have admittedly never
794
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:57.920
watched the movie Big Green, but I do. The only
795
00:44:57.960 --> 00:44:59.960
way I know it is because they put Patrick Rea
796
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:02.880
on the poster of it with a soccer ball clearly
797
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:06.960
hitting him in the nuts. Now, have you watched Big Green?
798
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:09.239
And if so, does he take a soccer ball to
799
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:11.639
the nuts in that movie? Can you verify?
800
00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:17.639
I have watched Big Green. I cannot remember if he
801
00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:20.559
does take a soccer ball to the nuts. But uh,
802
00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:23.199
I would say it's very likely, you know, just an
803
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:27.599
overall overall thinking about that movie, I would say it's
804
00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:31.000
very likely. Uh, one of my probably one of them
805
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:33.400
on this list, you know, on that time, that's one
806
00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:35.440
that I feel like is not as good as some
807
00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:38.079
of the others personally.
808
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:42.559
Oh wait, I thought you were gonna name another movie.
809
00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:45.320
You're saying Big Green is not? Yeah, I don't. It
810
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:47.920
is the one that sticks out. I The only reason
811
00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:51.880
I know that movie is from that poster at Roaster. Yeah,
812
00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:56.199
that's the only thing. The better soccer movie, in my opinion,
813
00:45:57.079 --> 00:45:59.840
is nineteen ninety two's Lady Bugs. Now, please tell me
814
00:45:59.880 --> 00:46:02.679
that you you know this Rodney Dangerfield classic.
815
00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:06.760
Yes, I do know this Rodney Dangerfield classic. But I again,
816
00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:08.760
I haven't seen this one in a long time either.
817
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:13.760
Okay, this is Rodney Dangerfield plays Chester, but as in
818
00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:17.360
most Rodney Dangerfield movies, he's basically just playing Rodney Dangerfield
819
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:20.599
right right now. He gets into some kind of trouble,
820
00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:22.559
some kind of shenanigans. I think he's trying to kiss
821
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:25.840
up to his boss, and he pretends that he knows
822
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:28.719
a lot about soccer and that he can coach this
823
00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:32.079
the soccer team, which is a girl soccer team. Well,
824
00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:35.039
once you know, this girl soccer team is not very good,
825
00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:38.960
so Rodney Dangerfield gets his I think girlfriend's son played
826
00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:43.679
by Jonathan Brandis big, big decade for Jonathan Brandis in
827
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:47.519
the nineties. You know he was, he was all over
828
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:49.880
the place. But then it takes a little bit of
829
00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:53.440
a turn, as some of these older movies do. Rodney
830
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:56.639
Dangerfield decides to put a wig on Jonathan Brandis and
831
00:46:56.679 --> 00:46:59.559
make her him pretend to be a girl to play
832
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:02.320
on the girl soccer team, and once you know, a
833
00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:06.199
bunch of hijinks ensue. Again, this sticks out because again
834
00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:08.679
this is ninety two. This is the first time I
835
00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:11.800
saw Vanessa Shaw, and she would pop up again in
836
00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:15.639
the movie hocus Pocus, and I would say that is
837
00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:21.519
was the beginning of an awakening for me, and I
838
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:24.400
won't go too much further into that, only that she
839
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:29.599
played a big part in my maturing. One last thing
840
00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:32.079
on Lady Books, I really don't think they had an
841
00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:35.719
ending to the movie planned out, So I'm almost positive
842
00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:39.480
that the movie ends with them zooming in on Rodney
843
00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:43.000
Dangerfield's character after they win the soccer tournament. But someone
844
00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:44.400
just kind of made a quip to him, and he
845
00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:47.519
looks at the camera and goes, I get no respect,
846
00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:52.440
and then it just it just freeze springs and zooms
847
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:57.119
in on Rodney Dangerfield's face, making the Rodney Dangerfield face
848
00:47:57.559 --> 00:47:59.280
like that, Roddy, how do you want to end this?
849
00:47:59.519 --> 00:47:59.679
Well?
850
00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:01.880
No, no, how about I'll get no respect?
851
00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:02.920
Right?
852
00:48:03.639 --> 00:48:08.119
Credit cuts the credits. We did it? Okay, all right,
853
00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:13.199
I've said my I've said my Lady Bugs piece. I
854
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:16.480
do have kind of a general theory about a lot
855
00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:18.440
of these movies, but I want to make sure we're
856
00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:21.480
are there any others? Are there any others you wanted
857
00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:24.239
to touch on or ones that you think Skate would
858
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:26.159
be mad that we didn't Okay, we didn't really talk
859
00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:31.239
Mighty Ducks. Can you were you a huge Mighty Ducks fan?
860
00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:34.639
Do you have a favorite one? Because a lot of
861
00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:36.880
the Mighty Ducks guys we kind of see pop up
862
00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:37.559
later on.
863
00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:41.599
Oh yeah, I absolutely love the Mighty Ducks movies, the
864
00:48:41.639 --> 00:48:43.840
first two. I like the first two a lot. The
865
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:47.519
first one is probably my favorite. Before I get into that,
866
00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:51.679
when you said big, Big decade for Jonathan Brandis, well
867
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:53.880
I clicked on that and realized the movie we left
868
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:57.400
off this list was Sidekicks with Jonathan Brandis and Chuck Norris.
869
00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:01.599
Chuck Norris, I love that year?
870
00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:09.519
Was that Chuck obviously? And then also but bring the
871
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:11.880
party down? Did you know Jonathan Brandis died in two
872
00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:16.440
thousand and three? This is supposed to be Guess one
873
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:18.119
episode and it's kind of seeming tragic.
874
00:49:18.880 --> 00:49:22.400
I sometimes get Devin Salah and Jonathan Brandis mixed up.
875
00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:26.039
I'm sorry to those guys. I did not know that,
876
00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:30.519
But yeah, thanks for chatting all over this. I'm sure.
877
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:34.079
I'm sure it wasn't like, uh, drug or partying related,
878
00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:37.000
not to be smirch his memory, but hopefully it was
879
00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:42.199
by natural natural causes. What do you have it from you?
880
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:43.639
What year was Sidekicks.
881
00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:47.280
Sidekicks was nineteen ninety two, the same year as a Lady.
882
00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:52.360
Okay, yep, kind of early on. But Mighty Ducks we
883
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:55.760
get Joshua Jackson we get and now I'm going to
884
00:49:55.840 --> 00:49:58.840
forget his name? Who plays Goldie? Who plays Goldberg because
885
00:49:58.880 --> 00:49:59.239
we're going to.
886
00:49:59.239 --> 00:50:02.239
Talk about God? I don't know, but he is.
887
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:09.239
Let's pull it Ducks cast. The weird thing about going
888
00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:11.719
to the cast of these movies is all of their pictures.
889
00:50:11.760 --> 00:50:16.000
Now it's all the pictures are of them as adults,
890
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:18.639
and it really throws you off. So, yeah, Sean Weise
891
00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:22.360
plays Goldberg in it. Who else do we have here?
892
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:31.880
Joshua Jackson obviously the Coachlio Emilio Stavez. Let's see when did.
893
00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:37.599
What was Keenan in the first one?
894
00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:42.239
That's that was the exact question I was asking you?
895
00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:45.599
Or did he just pop up? He's in the he's
896
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:51.480
like the US. Oh yeah, he's he hasn't had any
897
00:50:51.480 --> 00:51:01.119
problems Mighty Ducks two cast. Okay, so Keenan shows up,
898
00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:03.960
but he's he's Russ Tyler. I think he's like the
899
00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:06.320
brother that comes into help. Doesn't he teach them? Like
900
00:51:06.360 --> 00:51:08.880
the knuckle puck in the second movie, the Skeke's just
901
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:12.840
gonna be screaming at the I prefer to quite a
902
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:15.440
bit over one. Do you agree with that or do
903
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:17.320
you kind of hold them?
904
00:51:17.679 --> 00:51:21.039
I feel it's both pretty similar. But I think I
905
00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:22.960
think D two they hit a pretty that was kind
906
00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:25.800
of a sweet spot with the whole you know, with
907
00:51:25.840 --> 00:51:30.440
what happens in it, most of these actors elevating it
908
00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:36.400
beyond Philadelphia. In Philadelphia, that's just a goalie Goldbridge jersey.
909
00:51:36.440 --> 00:51:44.679
He wears that first. Mighty Ducks, Mighty Ducks two. Yeah. Three.
910
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:47.559
I even told my my daughter has been going back
911
00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:50.360
and watching a lot of these movies, and you know
912
00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:53.039
how kids will just do the exact opposite of what
913
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:56.840
you say or or think. I think, just to do
914
00:51:56.920 --> 00:51:59.760
the opposite of what you tell them to do. I
915
00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:01.400
told my darter, I'm like, look, you don't even have
916
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:03.159
to watch May Ducks three. It's not that good. It's
917
00:52:03.199 --> 00:52:06.159
not my favorite. Like a week later, I think Mighty
918
00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:09.119
X three is my favorite. Like, okay, all right, I
919
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:11.199
see what you're doing here, I see what you're doing.
920
00:52:12.400 --> 00:52:17.519
Let's talk about in gold at her for having poor taste.
921
00:52:18.519 --> 00:52:23.039
Well, I did what as a throwback to my King
922
00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:29.559
Arthur episode earlier this week, when Stellin Stellin scarsguard says
923
00:52:29.639 --> 00:52:32.800
to his son played by Till Scheiger, if you have
924
00:52:32.840 --> 00:52:35.920
a disobey me again, I'll kill you where you stand.
925
00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:39.280
That's kind of how I, uh, how I speak to
926
00:52:39.320 --> 00:52:45.280
my children. So I have a theory, and I need
927
00:52:45.320 --> 00:52:48.840
to look up kind of the the evidence to my theory.
928
00:52:49.559 --> 00:52:54.679
But I think we have broached Jim Varney before on
929
00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:58.199
this podcast. But tell me again what your relationship is
930
00:52:58.239 --> 00:53:02.840
to the Earnest movies Ernest famously played by the late
931
00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:03.760
Jim Varney.
932
00:53:05.559 --> 00:53:08.599
I can, really, I can very clearly remember Ernest going
933
00:53:08.639 --> 00:53:12.639
to camp. I can't remember what the conflict is. I
934
00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:15.760
remember they're shooting lemons with like a lemon cannon at
935
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:20.199
some point. I remember that. I clearly remember Ernest going
936
00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:25.559
to prison and somehow surviving the electric chair, and I
937
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:29.679
also remember Ernest being skipched to Oh. I do remember
938
00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:33.239
those three things happening. And I also remember Jim Varney
939
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:36.960
from Beverly Hillbilly's the movie Okay.
940
00:53:36.679 --> 00:53:40.199
Good Good Call. I actually had to. At first, I
941
00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:42.039
had this list of all of these movies, and I
942
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:44.960
had every single Earnest movie on there. But when I
943
00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:47.280
got to like nineteen ninety six and Ernest was going
944
00:53:47.320 --> 00:53:51.440
to Africa, I'm like, okay, no, I'm taking I'm taking
945
00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:53.039
these off. So I only left two of them. But
946
00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:57.280
you mentioned so nineteen eighty seven Ernest goes to Camp.
947
00:53:57.639 --> 00:54:00.320
Let me read the description of this movie and tell
948
00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:03.559
me what other movie it kind of sounds like. So
949
00:54:03.719 --> 00:54:06.960
nineteen eighty seven Ernest Goes to Camp, starring Jim Varney
950
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:10.960
as the clumsy but good hearted, good hearted Ernest p
951
00:54:11.199 --> 00:54:17.760
Whirl who becomes a counselor at the Rundown Camp Kick
952
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:23.920
a Key, a summer camp for juvenile delinquents. While initially
953
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:28.480
being bullied by these juvenile delinquent campers, he eventually must
954
00:54:28.559 --> 00:54:33.039
lead the rebellious campers to victory against a greedy construction
955
00:54:33.239 --> 00:54:38.000
foreman who's trying to shut down the camp. Now, Tim,
956
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:42.320
do you think that Ernest goes to camp walked so
957
00:54:42.360 --> 00:54:45.639
that heavyweights could run? Sounds a lot. Sounds very similar,
958
00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:46.880
doesn't it.
959
00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:49.719
It does sound very similar. It also sounds very similar
960
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:52.760
to like all those eighties skiing movies where there's a
961
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:56.000
developer coming that's going to like change this, you know,
962
00:54:56.880 --> 00:54:59.159
change the ski to all the condos or something to
963
00:54:59.159 --> 00:55:02.360
make it high out all the ski school people can't
964
00:55:02.360 --> 00:55:03.280
afford it anymore.
965
00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:09.320
Thankfully, that doesn't happen anymore. Thankfully, rich real estate developers
966
00:55:09.840 --> 00:55:11.920
no longer come into our lives and try and ruin
967
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:13.880
it for us. I'm glad that was a trend that
968
00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:18.199
ended in the eighties. So I had to mention that
969
00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:20.280
earth just because it was nineteen eighty seven. So I
970
00:55:20.280 --> 00:55:23.280
think it was a good kind of built a good
971
00:55:23.320 --> 00:55:25.559
foundation for a lot of the movies that we would like.
972
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:28.280
And then Ernest Scared Stupid was in nineteen ninety one.
973
00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:32.159
I think I told the story during Halloween. I tried
974
00:55:32.199 --> 00:55:35.880
to show this movie to the creatures from the Lagoon.
975
00:55:36.159 --> 00:55:39.159
My ten year old daughter loved it. My eight year
976
00:55:39.159 --> 00:55:42.920
old eight year old Bye about a third of the
977
00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:46.599
way into the movie when they introduced the trolls. Again,
978
00:55:46.639 --> 00:55:50.079
this is like nineteen ninety one, so it's like practical effects.
979
00:55:50.440 --> 00:55:55.639
It's like gross, ugly looking, probably little people in troll outfits,
980
00:55:56.199 --> 00:56:00.000
and my son start My eight year old Bye starts
981
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:05.880
trying screaming, tells me you've ruined me, You've ruined You're
982
00:56:05.880 --> 00:56:08.159
going to need to give me nightmares. I'm never watching
983
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:10.639
another movie again. And I'll be damned if that boy
984
00:56:10.679 --> 00:56:13.559
hasn't really watched too many movies since Ernest scared stupid,
985
00:56:13.599 --> 00:56:17.559
So I may have completely ruined his his love of movies.
986
00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:22.280
But that's kind of my favorite. I tried telling him.
987
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:24.440
I'm like, no, I'm like, Ernest is gonna get you know.
988
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:27.079
At one point, Ernest drives over a troll and goes,
989
00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:33.400
Ernest goes, I hope you like a bumper sandwich bugger lips.
990
00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:36.360
I'm like, that's like the best thing is a kid? Like,
991
00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:41.519
how could you not like that as a kid. Okay,
992
00:56:43.760 --> 00:56:45.760
I do think we need to because we're gonna, We're
993
00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:49.119
gonna really we want to sink in and really spend
994
00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:52.519
some time with heavyweights. But I'd be remiss. Is there
995
00:56:52.599 --> 00:56:56.760
anything else on this list? The Wizard nineteen eighty six,
996
00:56:57.360 --> 00:57:00.920
a very very early video game movie with one of
997
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:01.679
the savages.
998
00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:07.760
Oh, I've seen that one of those bad.
999
00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:10.840
Ass, badass movie. There's a scene. There's a part where
1000
00:57:11.400 --> 00:57:13.320
that one of the savages, I can't remember which one
1001
00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:17.880
it is, Fred goes to try and kiss a girl.
1002
00:57:18.159 --> 00:57:20.960
I think he kisses her, but then she punches him
1003
00:57:20.960 --> 00:57:23.159
so hard that it knocks him out, and for the
1004
00:57:23.199 --> 00:57:25.719
longest time, I thought, oh shit, that's what's gonna happen
1005
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:28.199
if I ever try and kiss a girl. So thanks
1006
00:57:28.239 --> 00:57:31.079
for that. That's the wizard that was eighty six.
1007
00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:36.679
Do you no, I'll tell the Heavyweights. Let's get into
1008
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:37.199
health rates.
1009
00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:39.920
All right. Let me take a big Let me take
1010
00:57:39.960 --> 00:57:41.199
a big drink of water here.
1011
00:57:41.960 --> 00:57:43.920
All right, I'm going to bring up I'm just gonna
1012
00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:49.000
look up Heavyweights on the computer. What I have is
1013
00:57:49.400 --> 00:57:51.000
I have everything ready to rock here.
1014
00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:55.519
I have the Wikipedia. But then I also have a
1015
00:57:55.559 --> 00:57:59.480
tablet right here where I'm actually playing and watching the movie.
1016
00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:04.400
So I think what I'm going to do is do
1017
00:58:04.519 --> 00:58:09.239
a rough like walk through, not seen by scene. But
1018
00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:12.119
we're gonna start from the beginning. I'm going to try
1019
00:58:12.159 --> 00:58:14.320
and tell the tale. Tim can interrupt at any point
1020
00:58:14.320 --> 00:58:17.320
with things that I missed. We're trying cover best lines,
1021
00:58:17.400 --> 00:58:22.039
biggest questions. Go from kind of a start to finish
1022
00:58:22.039 --> 00:58:25.840
here and really give this movie some love. Tim. Do
1023
00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:30.119
you remember the badass song that opens up the movie
1024
00:58:30.159 --> 00:58:31.960
of Heavyweights? Do you want to sing it?
1025
00:58:32.679 --> 00:58:34.360
I don't remember the song? What is it?
1026
00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:39.039
People? You know big fans of Party of Five from
1027
00:58:39.039 --> 00:58:42.519
the nineties speaking of nineties mainstays, people who love Party
1028
00:58:42.519 --> 00:58:47.239
of Five might also remember the Closer to Free song
1029
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:52.719
that plays Everybody wants to Live, They want to live,
1030
00:58:53.599 --> 00:59:01.119
Everybody wants to be closer to Free. So we're introduced
1031
00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:04.000
to you remember his name right to him, last name
1032
00:59:04.000 --> 00:59:05.000
and first name? What is it?
1033
00:59:05.320 --> 00:59:08.559
Gardner, Gerald, god Na Jerald.
1034
00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:12.800
So again we're gonna try not to be little these kids.
1035
00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:15.679
But it is a movie about fat camp and fat kids.
1036
00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:18.000
I will tell you when I first tried to show
1037
00:59:18.000 --> 00:59:20.519
this movie, I think it was like during when Disney
1038
00:59:20.519 --> 00:59:24.199
Plus first popped up, popped up, so like round COVID,
1039
00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:27.119
I'm like, holy shit, they got heavyweights on here. Let's
1040
00:59:27.159 --> 00:59:30.000
let the kids watch. And within the first couple of minutes,
1041
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:35.119
Gerald says to his father, Jeffrey Tambour, you're fat. Why
1042
00:59:35.159 --> 00:59:37.519
don't you go to fat It's fat camp. Won't you
1043
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:38.599
go to fat camp.
1044
00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:39.239
Better than me?
1045
00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:43.400
Are you better than me? My partner goes, Nope, Nope,
1046
00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:46.079
we're not watching this. So we did have to more
1047
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:49.679
recently come back to it last year. But that's how
1048
00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:53.840
it opens. Jeffrey Tambour, you remember the other gentleman that's
1049
00:59:53.840 --> 00:59:56.039
pitching the camp, right, do you recognize who that was.
1050
00:59:57.840 --> 01:00:01.920
No, I'm looking at some of the other people in there. Oh, okay,
1051
01:00:02.599 --> 01:00:07.679
who it is who pitched the camp to him? Cohen Brothers, Nelson?
1052
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:12.039
There you go, it's Tim Blake Nelson. Go watch the
1053
01:00:12.199 --> 01:00:14.360
Ballad of Buster Scrugs if you want to see something
1054
01:00:14.400 --> 01:00:18.280
more recent with him. But so Jerald gets home, finds
1055
01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:21.480
out his dad, Jeffrey tam Boorr wants to send him
1056
01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:27.559
to a fat camp. Very quickly, he is basically forced
1057
01:00:27.599 --> 01:00:31.280
to do it. The bus arrives, and then who is
1058
01:00:31.280 --> 01:00:33.400
it that we meet that's driving the bus?
1059
01:00:33.639 --> 01:00:37.679
Tim is Pat driving the bus.
1060
01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:42.880
Pat gets off the bus, right, he says, Or he
1061
01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:44.880
gets on a plane first. Okay, So Jerald gets on
1062
01:00:44.880 --> 01:00:47.599
the plane and that's when he meets Keenan Thompson. That's
1063
01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:52.800
famously when he gets the the wings from the the
1064
01:00:52.840 --> 01:00:57.280
airplane captain, right, and the wings being called Captain. That's
1065
01:00:57.360 --> 01:01:01.360
going to to come up later. But Keenan, do you
1066
01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:05.840
remember how Keenan picks out uh, picks out Gerald as
1067
01:01:05.880 --> 01:01:07.639
going to the camp. Do you remember what he says?
1068
01:01:09.159 --> 01:01:10.800
I just remember he walks out to him and says,
1069
01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:11.880
going to fat camp?
1070
01:01:15.039 --> 01:01:17.880
What do you mean? How do you know because you're
1071
01:01:18.559 --> 01:01:19.320
because you're fat.
1072
01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:22.320
Okay, so I'm going to fat Camp.
1073
01:01:23.880 --> 01:01:29.119
You're fat too. Uh. So they they get there, they
1074
01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:32.000
do get on the bus. There's some ridiculous things that
1075
01:01:32.039 --> 01:01:37.480
Pat says to them about getting on the bus. And
1076
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:40.320
then when they do get to Oh, first of all,
1077
01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:43.360
don't they see one of the big kids alongside the
1078
01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:45.679
road when they're going into camp Pope, Like one of
1079
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:49.280
the kids is like standing outside waving a stick, shaking
1080
01:01:49.320 --> 01:01:49.719
his head.
1081
01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:51.760
No, no, beware.
1082
01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:58.800
So they get to they pull him. They're unloading all
1083
01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:01.519
their crap off the bus. This is when we meet
1084
01:02:02.119 --> 01:02:05.639
another of the camp counselors. Do you remember his name?
1085
01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:13.599
And Tim? Yep, they meet Tim Paul Figue who's a
1086
01:02:14.039 --> 01:02:18.360
quite famous director. Now, the Tim character, famously, we learn,
1087
01:02:19.079 --> 01:02:22.239
used to be fat, but then he got skinny. So
1088
01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:25.960
all of the kids are just taking turns making He
1089
01:02:26.079 --> 01:02:30.920
is wearing a crop top and some jean shorts some sort.
1090
01:02:33.639 --> 01:02:36.320
So I can't remember many of the insults that they
1091
01:02:36.320 --> 01:02:41.239
are giving Tim. Do any of them any come to mind?
1092
01:02:41.280 --> 01:02:43.719
Because you make fun of skinny people all the time, Tim,
1093
01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:46.159
Are there any good go tos that they don't remember?
1094
01:02:46.159 --> 01:02:48.519
The insults? I just remember His response is like, you
1095
01:02:48.559 --> 01:02:51.000
guys are just jealous of these buns of steel, and
1096
01:02:51.039 --> 01:02:53.119
you know he's kind of hamming it up.
1097
01:02:53.840 --> 01:02:59.000
He starts dancing. He starts dancing and shaking his butt.
1098
01:02:59.079 --> 01:03:03.079
We also meet who who will be the the love interest,
1099
01:03:04.519 --> 01:03:07.880
Nurse Julie. I don't know that actress's name, but I
1100
01:03:07.880 --> 01:03:09.920
don't think no offense to her. I don't think she
1101
01:03:10.039 --> 01:03:11.159
became very famous.
1102
01:03:11.519 --> 01:03:15.440
So we get Leah Laylee in a she's looking pretty
1103
01:03:15.440 --> 01:03:18.119
good in this picture for her, for.
1104
01:03:18.119 --> 01:03:24.039
You, Leah, come on the show. So everything's pretty normal.
1105
01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:29.639
They get to camp. They Pat shows him to the dorm,
1106
01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:32.920
to the cabin that they're in and what is what?
1107
01:03:32.920 --> 01:03:35.079
What cabin name do they have? Tim?
1108
01:03:35.119 --> 01:03:37.280
Do you remember the chipmunks?
1109
01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:42.400
The Chipmunks? And famously there is a scene where okay,
1110
01:03:42.440 --> 01:03:49.760
so we've we've also met Sean Weiss's character Josh, and
1111
01:03:49.800 --> 01:03:52.039
you can tell that Josh is kind of the season vet.
1112
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:54.119
You know, he's been there for a while, kind of
1113
01:03:54.159 --> 01:03:58.079
knows everything that's going on. Pats, you know, helps them
1114
01:03:58.239 --> 01:04:02.159
unload everything. Then Pat leaves and then what does Josh
1115
01:04:02.199 --> 01:04:04.880
famously say to all of the what what happens? And
1116
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:08.679
what does Josh famously say when they get into their cabin.
1117
01:04:09.480 --> 01:04:13.360
Well, Jerry comes, you know, after Roy introduces Jerry to Josh,
1118
01:04:13.440 --> 01:04:16.800
you know, kind of vouches for him. Jerry says, Hey,
1119
01:04:16.800 --> 01:04:19.280
don't tell anyone, but I snuck some oreos in and
1120
01:04:19.679 --> 01:04:22.199
Josh says, that was very sneaky of you, Jerry. And
1121
01:04:22.239 --> 01:04:26.039
then he turns and he says, chipmunks download. And you
1122
01:04:26.079 --> 01:04:29.719
just see every kid in this cabin emptying out. There's
1123
01:04:30.599 --> 01:04:33.400
backpacks and then duffel bags of just all the candy
1124
01:04:33.599 --> 01:04:38.440
and deli meats, delly meat.
1125
01:04:40.800 --> 01:04:44.159
But what would you sneak in to camp? Tim? Have
1126
01:04:44.280 --> 01:04:45.159
you thought about this?
1127
01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:52.400
You know, it's tough to say, because I think that
1128
01:04:52.480 --> 01:04:55.920
you would probably want something that you can kind of
1129
01:04:56.639 --> 01:04:58.840
it's gonna kind of last, you know, for a while.
1130
01:04:58.880 --> 01:05:01.079
So maybe like a pack of yips, you know, a
1131
01:05:01.079 --> 01:05:03.679
good bag of bag of like sour cream andig and
1132
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:06.320
chips or something I can kind of trumple up and
1133
01:05:06.400 --> 01:05:08.559
height under a pillow or something, or inside a pill I.
1134
01:05:08.559 --> 01:05:12.559
Don't think they'd get smashed. I'd be worried that they'd.
1135
01:05:12.400 --> 01:05:15.320
Get smashed in the luggage.
1136
01:05:16.599 --> 01:05:18.480
I do think we're gonna end up finding out that
1137
01:05:18.559 --> 01:05:22.159
probably the deli meats is probably the safest. It won't
1138
01:05:22.199 --> 01:05:27.079
get destroyed. They won't get destroyed. They will last a
1139
01:05:27.119 --> 01:05:30.840
long time. Lots of protein to keep you know, to
1140
01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:31.480
keep your.
1141
01:05:32.199 --> 01:05:36.239
And any of these kids are concerned about their protein. Unfortunately.
1142
01:05:37.000 --> 01:05:39.320
Well, we saw what happened when they do chocolate, because
1143
01:05:39.360 --> 01:05:42.400
what happens to Nicholas. He has the chocolate wrapped around
1144
01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:43.760
his body, but then it melted.
1145
01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:51.440
Yeah, uh yeah, we never did talk about the Hungarian
1146
01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:56.199
scene in Marty Supreme, when the Hungarian ping pong player
1147
01:05:56.239 --> 01:06:00.519
talks about when he was in a concentration camp during
1148
01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:02.719
World War two and the Nazis.
1149
01:06:02.800 --> 01:06:07.960
The Nazis made him go out and disarm bombs. And
1150
01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:12.719
when this Hungarian tennis player who was in a concentration
1151
01:06:12.880 --> 01:06:17.639
camp was out disarming bombs, he found a beehive and
1152
01:06:17.679 --> 01:06:21.480
he smoked out all the bees and then lathered himself
1153
01:06:21.639 --> 01:06:24.800
up with all the honey on his body and then
1154
01:06:24.840 --> 01:06:27.840
went back to the concentration camp so all of the
1155
01:06:27.880 --> 01:06:31.800
other Hungarian Jews that were in the concentration camp could
1156
01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:35.039
lick the honey off of his body so that they
1157
01:06:35.079 --> 01:06:38.599
could stay alive. Do you think that Safti saw this
1158
01:06:38.719 --> 01:06:42.599
scene of Nicholas in heavyweights where they licked the chocolate
1159
01:06:42.639 --> 01:06:44.840
off of them, and that was the inspiration for that
1160
01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:45.960
scene in Marty Supreme.
1161
01:06:46.800 --> 01:06:48.400
I don't see any other way that he could have
1162
01:06:48.440 --> 01:06:49.039
come up with that.
1163
01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:52.559
I agree, I agree, all right. So they download, we
1164
01:06:52.599 --> 01:06:54.760
find out that there's kind of the secret system of
1165
01:06:54.800 --> 01:06:58.920
sneaking in snacks to camp Hope here. So these kids
1166
01:06:58.920 --> 01:07:01.199
are kind of skirting the rule to get around the
1167
01:07:02.119 --> 01:07:05.679
goal of losing weight at this camp by hoarding away sweets.
1168
01:07:05.800 --> 01:07:09.760
We also see a giant trunk is moved and there's
1169
01:07:09.840 --> 01:07:14.480
a a giant, you know, secret compartment in the floor
1170
01:07:14.679 --> 01:07:17.360
where they dump all this food. All good, foreshadowing to
1171
01:07:17.400 --> 01:07:21.119
what's gonna come. Yeah, all right, then it's time to
1172
01:07:21.119 --> 01:07:26.599
meet the Bushkins. Oh, I need a drink of water.
1173
01:07:26.599 --> 01:07:28.239
Who plays the Bushkins? Tim?
1174
01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:33.079
The Bushkins are played by I believe Ben Stiller's parents, Well,
1175
01:07:33.079 --> 01:07:35.320
I know that. I think that might be his mother too.
1176
01:07:35.400 --> 01:07:39.480
I'm not not positive. Jerry Stiller, and I need to
1177
01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:42.360
I'm trying to. I'm drawn a blank on her name
1178
01:07:42.440 --> 01:07:42.840
right now.
1179
01:07:44.039 --> 01:07:51.039
Oh no, and Mirah and Mirah yep, husband Jerry Stiller
1180
01:07:52.320 --> 01:07:55.760
and you know, mother to Ben Stiller, who's going to
1181
01:07:55.800 --> 01:07:58.639
come up very soon here. So we meet the Bushkins.
1182
01:07:58.679 --> 01:08:01.800
They come in. That's how we started the show. Missus
1183
01:08:01.800 --> 01:08:04.480
Bushkin gave a hello campers, and the whole camp goes
1184
01:08:04.559 --> 01:08:07.239
hi hi hi.
1185
01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:13.920
That they are kind of underwater though, and that they
1186
01:08:13.920 --> 01:08:14.719
had to steal.
1187
01:08:15.719 --> 01:08:18.560
Yeah, very quickly, they're losing the camp, which leads to
1188
01:08:18.600 --> 01:08:25.520
the famous line as Jerry Stiller's walking off, Jerry Stiller screams,
1189
01:08:26.039 --> 01:08:32.239
never let anyone else sign you checks, which, you know, hey,
1190
01:08:33.039 --> 01:08:35.840
even look at today, our current president could even say,
1191
01:08:35.920 --> 01:08:38.680
you know, that's lessons that he wished he would have
1192
01:08:39.479 --> 01:08:41.760
listened to. So for all of our listeners, never let
1193
01:08:41.800 --> 01:08:44.000
anyone else sign your checks. So then we meet the
1194
01:08:44.039 --> 01:08:46.680
new owner. What's the name of the new owner.
1195
01:08:46.439 --> 01:08:49.560
Tim played by Ben Stiller.
1196
01:08:50.199 --> 01:08:53.760
Okay, what's his goal? What happens then? When when who
1197
01:08:53.760 --> 01:08:56.600
we learned to call Uncle Tony. What happens when he
1198
01:08:56.640 --> 01:08:59.159
shows up? Oh?
1199
01:08:59.199 --> 01:09:01.760
Well, you know it. It's quite clear that there's gonna
1200
01:09:01.760 --> 01:09:04.359
be a big change of plans. You know that Camp
1201
01:09:04.399 --> 01:09:07.159
Hope isn't going to be a fun time for the
1202
01:09:07.279 --> 01:09:11.239
heavy little children. That he's gonna really whip them in
1203
01:09:11.239 --> 01:09:13.520
the shape. They're going to eat success for breakfasts with
1204
01:09:13.560 --> 01:09:19.439
skim milk. I specifically remember that, and uh, just you know,
1205
01:09:19.720 --> 01:09:22.239
he he's serious about getting these kids in shape. He
1206
01:09:22.279 --> 01:09:24.720
says something like when he was twelve years old, he
1207
01:09:24.800 --> 01:09:27.399
weighed four hundred pounds or something like that, you know,
1208
01:09:27.520 --> 01:09:32.079
something totally unbelievable. And this is also too. You know,
1209
01:09:32.399 --> 01:09:35.079
everyone came eventually, we all came to know and love
1210
01:09:35.199 --> 01:09:37.920
Ben Siller, but early on he was playing these roles like,
1211
01:09:37.960 --> 01:09:41.359
you know, like the nurse in Happy Gillmore and you
1212
01:09:41.399 --> 01:09:43.640
know Tony Purkis and this more of like kind of
1213
01:09:43.640 --> 01:09:47.119
like his dodgeball roles with this, uh this mean kind
1214
01:09:47.159 --> 01:09:49.319
of cruel, sadistic personality, and.
1215
01:09:49.359 --> 01:09:51.640
Uh well that's why I wanted to ask, was this
1216
01:09:51.720 --> 01:09:56.800
the first because this was this movie was before Happy Gilmore.
1217
01:09:57.319 --> 01:10:00.399
Was this the first time? I know he had a show.
1218
01:10:00.439 --> 01:10:02.279
I know Ben Stilla was maybe on like some MTV
1219
01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:04.319
show before, but I feel like this was our first.
1220
01:10:05.920 --> 01:10:08.279
This was the first time we met him. In my
1221
01:10:09.119 --> 01:10:11.479
as I'm trying to think back, Yeah.
1222
01:10:11.279 --> 01:10:13.239
I would think, I would think so. He might have
1223
01:10:13.279 --> 01:10:16.119
been in movies like reality reality bites that were for
1224
01:10:16.199 --> 01:10:21.079
you know, older you know, older people were watching, But
1225
01:10:21.119 --> 01:10:22.760
for me, this would have been the first time I
1226
01:10:22.800 --> 01:10:23.520
ever saw him.
1227
01:10:24.239 --> 01:10:27.800
Okay, So, uh, the Bushkins declared bankruptcy and the camp
1228
01:10:27.840 --> 01:10:32.199
has been bought by fitness entrepreneur entrepreneur Tony Purkis Junior.
1229
01:10:32.920 --> 01:10:35.079
We do meet Tony Purkis Senior near the end of
1230
01:10:35.119 --> 01:10:40.079
this movie. Obviously Perkis wants to implement a weight loss
1231
01:10:40.119 --> 01:10:43.479
program and he's making an infomercial. We also do meet
1232
01:10:43.479 --> 01:10:44.239
his cameraman.
1233
01:10:45.279 --> 01:10:47.039
You're Ailen copt.
1234
01:10:48.920 --> 01:10:52.199
The cameraman again. We will see later on as the
1235
01:10:52.279 --> 01:10:57.479
caddie in Happy Gilmore and then famously as Grandma's Boy
1236
01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:00.439
in Grandma's Boy. Do you think that that's going to
1237
01:11:00.479 --> 01:11:03.000
be the next text we get from Skate at some point?
1238
01:11:03.319 --> 01:11:04.279
Do Grandma's Boy?
1239
01:11:05.479 --> 01:11:07.840
I would welcome that we haven't already gotten it, to
1240
01:11:07.880 --> 01:11:08.640
be honest with you.
1241
01:11:09.079 --> 01:11:13.439
Okay, So Tony comes in. Purkis comes in, starts getting
1242
01:11:13.520 --> 01:11:15.760
rid of all of the kind of beloved camp you
1243
01:11:15.760 --> 01:11:19.439
know activities. He scraps the go carts. We learned that
1244
01:11:20.239 --> 01:11:23.000
Gardner Gerald was very excited to ride the go carts.
1245
01:11:24.560 --> 01:11:27.319
They had something called the blob out on the lake
1246
01:11:27.520 --> 01:11:29.520
where we see, you know, one kid sits at the
1247
01:11:29.600 --> 01:11:32.399
end of the blob, then another kid jumps on it
1248
01:11:32.439 --> 01:11:36.239
and it launches the first kid into the water. We
1249
01:11:36.279 --> 01:11:39.479
see the death of the blob, and that was performed
1250
01:11:39.520 --> 01:11:42.520
by a new counselor that we meet who will be
1251
01:11:42.560 --> 01:11:47.560
heading up the Chipmunk cabin. Tim please tell the listeners
1252
01:11:48.119 --> 01:11:49.920
what the name of this counselor is.
1253
01:11:51.560 --> 01:11:54.319
The new Counselor's name is Lars, and he is all
1254
01:11:54.359 --> 01:11:57.039
in on the Tony Purkis Purkis system. You know, he's
1255
01:11:57.079 --> 01:12:00.000
gonna be Tony's right hand man when it comes to
1256
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:01.760
the counselors and the staff.
1257
01:12:02.920 --> 01:12:08.239
He uh, he famously said, and I am Lars. That's
1258
01:12:08.279 --> 01:12:08.680
what I think.
1259
01:12:09.520 --> 01:12:12.880
Make the very disturbing sounds. I sleep, I'm happy, frightened.
1260
01:12:15.920 --> 01:12:17.680
I've forgotten about Lars.
1261
01:12:17.800 --> 01:12:19.800
Lars is so funny of this movie.
1262
01:12:20.600 --> 01:12:25.399
Speaking of Troy, if anyone's ever heard his dad snore,
1263
01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:31.640
very similar to the sound that Lars makes when he snores. So, uh.
1264
01:12:32.159 --> 01:12:39.720
They they killed the blob, they start implementing new exercises.
1265
01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:41.399
I'm gonna kind of move fast. I know, I'm gonna
1266
01:12:41.439 --> 01:12:44.960
forget some things. Do they try and do meditation. There's
1267
01:12:44.960 --> 01:12:47.439
something that comes over the loud speakers that is like
1268
01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:52.439
this new age music, and then isn't it Tony saying
1269
01:12:52.479 --> 01:12:53.560
good morning campers.
1270
01:12:54.560 --> 01:13:01.279
Oh yeah, what is he said? Oh no, I'm dead.
1271
01:13:03.960 --> 01:13:06.399
What does Tony get rid of due to lack of hustle?
1272
01:13:06.520 --> 01:13:07.399
He announces that.
1273
01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:10.439
Just one day he canceled lunch will be canceled the
1274
01:13:10.520 --> 01:13:11.239
lack of hustle.
1275
01:13:12.119 --> 01:13:15.079
Do lack of hustle? Okay, I'm trying to do this
1276
01:13:15.119 --> 01:13:19.600
without laughing so hard, so they gosh, I know, I'm
1277
01:13:19.600 --> 01:13:20.239
gonna miss some things.
1278
01:13:20.239 --> 01:13:23.079
Eventually, there's we're finding out all of these new, terrible
1279
01:13:23.119 --> 01:13:25.840
new policies. Because Gerald Gardner is writing a letter to
1280
01:13:25.840 --> 01:13:29.600
his grandma. People don't really understand, you know. They're like, well,
1281
01:13:29.640 --> 01:13:31.239
we sent him there to be lose weight.
1282
01:13:33.279 --> 01:13:36.560
Jeffrey Tambour famously says, we did not send you to
1283
01:13:36.720 --> 01:13:44.159
go kart camp because he's trying to complain. Yeah, because
1284
01:13:44.159 --> 01:13:46.079
they get rid of the go carts at some point
1285
01:13:46.079 --> 01:13:48.600
they have. So we learned that there's another camp across
1286
01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:52.960
the water called Camp MVP that is kind of made
1287
01:13:53.000 --> 01:13:58.119
up of more more athletic, kind of over competitive. I'm
1288
01:13:58.159 --> 01:14:01.039
just gonna come out and say it, like skip skinnier kids,
1289
01:14:01.960 --> 01:14:06.760
It's called Camp MVP. They set up a softball game
1290
01:14:07.359 --> 01:14:11.920
against Camp MVP. You know a number of you know,
1291
01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:14.479
funny things happened at the softball camp. It is around
1292
01:14:14.520 --> 01:14:18.199
the softball camp time though, that we learned that Pat,
1293
01:14:18.239 --> 01:14:22.319
the counselor, has basically just been relegated to like janitorial duties.
1294
01:14:22.880 --> 01:14:27.880
And there is a part where Perkis gets on the
1295
01:14:27.880 --> 01:14:32.399
loud speaker and goes, Pat, please report to the boys bathroom,
1296
01:14:33.039 --> 01:14:38.279
bring a mop and a plunger. I've used that line
1297
01:14:38.479 --> 01:14:41.800
oh a billion times over the course of my life
1298
01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:44.239
after leaving a bathroom and I would say to someone,
1299
01:14:44.600 --> 01:14:49.560
bring a mop and a plunger. Softball game goes bad.
1300
01:14:49.640 --> 01:14:53.199
Is there anything else you remember from the softball game?
1301
01:14:55.119 --> 01:14:57.079
I can't remember if this is before or after the
1302
01:14:57.119 --> 01:15:00.720
softball game. There's also a girl. Basically what Tony is
1303
01:15:00.720 --> 01:15:02.920
trying to do. After a while, when it's clear that
1304
01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:05.560
he's not reaching these kids, and we understand he's not
1305
01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:08.079
reaching these kids when there's a famous scene where they're
1306
01:15:08.079 --> 01:15:12.399
all weigh in and going into the way in going
1307
01:15:12.479 --> 01:15:15.399
unto the way, and I think Tony is quite enthusiastic
1308
01:15:15.479 --> 01:15:18.119
that Hey got these kids working out, Maybe they're not
1309
01:15:18.119 --> 01:15:22.439
going to be losing some weight, and uh, you know,
1310
01:15:22.479 --> 01:15:28.039
we find out Gerald gardner age whatever. Wait you know Jerald, Yeah,
1311
01:15:28.279 --> 01:15:30.560
and you know, well he gained two pounds. You know,
1312
01:15:30.880 --> 01:15:33.319
muscle weighs more than fat, but clear, you know. And
1313
01:15:33.359 --> 01:15:37.439
at one point he sells, uh, I believe Josh, step
1314
01:15:37.479 --> 01:15:41.119
on the scale, step off the scale. You know, it's
1315
01:15:41.119 --> 01:15:42.199
just gets on the scale.
1316
01:15:42.439 --> 01:15:46.079
The scale immediately flips down over I think the two hundred.
1317
01:15:46.359 --> 01:15:49.960
Get on the scale. Well he stops the infomercial to
1318
01:15:50.079 --> 01:15:52.199
like chew them all out, and he goes, okay, start
1319
01:15:52.239 --> 01:15:54.720
it back up, and he gives Josh a high five
1320
01:15:54.760 --> 01:15:57.239
and get on the scale, gets on the scale, get
1321
01:15:57.239 --> 01:15:59.800
off the scale. That's when he really loses you, right,
1322
01:15:59.800 --> 01:16:04.560
I forget where about that pops up? Well? I think
1323
01:16:04.600 --> 01:16:07.560
before that, okay, let's try and get this straight. And
1324
01:16:07.600 --> 01:16:09.119
I could look it up in front of me, but
1325
01:16:09.159 --> 01:16:11.439
you and I should be able to do this. Does
1326
01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:17.680
Josh disappear before the girls dance? Because what happens is
1327
01:16:18.319 --> 01:16:24.000
Tony so Purkis and Lars storm into the chipmunks. Okay,
1328
01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:26.159
that's probably what it is. So they're all overweight, they're
1329
01:16:26.199 --> 01:16:29.039
still gaining weight, and is that when they stormy.
1330
01:16:29.319 --> 01:16:32.319
Like something's going on somehow these kids are cheating. Let's
1331
01:16:32.359 --> 01:16:35.439
go raid their raid their cabin and uh, that's when
1332
01:16:35.439 --> 01:16:38.199
they find all this the hidden snacks and treats. There's
1333
01:16:38.239 --> 01:16:41.000
a great moment where he's like going through the hollow
1334
01:16:41.079 --> 01:16:44.520
bedpost and that's when he finds all the salami. Sam's oh,
1335
01:16:44.520 --> 01:16:46.680
look a deli meat. He's like hitting it and he's
1336
01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:49.439
got like the light and stuff like that.
1337
01:16:51.079 --> 01:16:54.560
Look, you mentioned something. We we we oh a deli meat.
1338
01:16:54.640 --> 01:16:58.000
Sorry I stepped on it. We should uh talk about
1339
01:16:58.039 --> 01:17:01.319
some of the campers because you mentioned salami Sam.
1340
01:17:01.439 --> 01:17:02.399
Yes, we have.
1341
01:17:02.800 --> 01:17:05.880
Uh. I'm gonna just read some of the character names
1342
01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:08.960
because this might jog some of our memories. So again Pat,
1343
01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:19.199
Pat Finley, Josh Lars, Keenan Thompson plays Roy uh where.
1344
01:17:19.319 --> 01:17:22.119
So there's there's Sims. There's Michael Simms. I think he's
1345
01:17:22.159 --> 01:17:22.840
the big guy.
1346
01:17:23.600 --> 01:17:27.800
Simms Is famously said congratulations, you're the fattest kid at
1347
01:17:27.800 --> 01:17:30.800
camp during the waves and everyone cheers for him.
1348
01:17:33.199 --> 01:17:36.239
There's Cody who has like the glasses. At one point,
1349
01:17:36.319 --> 01:17:38.319
Cody goes, we don't want to do this, we want
1350
01:17:38.359 --> 01:17:41.520
to have fun. That's near the end. We'll get to
1351
01:17:41.560 --> 01:17:46.079
that salami Sam, my personal favorite. Just kind of throwing
1352
01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:50.640
that out there. So Salami Sam. So all these kids
1353
01:17:50.680 --> 01:17:53.479
kind of get shook down in their in their camp
1354
01:17:53.680 --> 01:17:56.479
and Purkis finds all there. There's a there's a character
1355
01:17:57.119 --> 01:17:59.439
who was at the camp, went to the camp last year,
1356
01:17:59.760 --> 01:18:02.239
but he's now part of Perkos's system where he's like
1357
01:18:02.359 --> 01:18:04.560
I was a chipmunk last year, let me show you.
1358
01:18:04.600 --> 01:18:08.760
And he's the one that kind of divulges where their
1359
01:18:08.800 --> 01:18:12.479
big kind of hiding spots.
1360
01:18:11.960 --> 01:18:12.640
Of food is.
1361
01:18:13.119 --> 01:18:15.640
But it's right around this time though, that doesn't Josh
1362
01:18:15.680 --> 01:18:21.319
pull the the Seymour butts the Seymour butts joke on
1363
01:18:21.520 --> 01:18:24.760
Ben Stiller on purpose, and that's what gets him kicked out.
1364
01:18:26.159 --> 01:18:28.039
No, he doesn't get kicked out I think until after
1365
01:18:28.079 --> 01:18:29.920
the hike, right is when.
1366
01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:33.520
No, he gets kicked out, but then he comes back,
1367
01:18:34.359 --> 01:18:38.159
because it's when he comes back that he says, you know, hey, Basically,
1368
01:18:38.159 --> 01:18:40.760
my dad's lawyer got a hold of Tony and said,
1369
01:18:41.039 --> 01:18:43.199
either you give me a refund or send me back.
1370
01:18:43.600 --> 01:18:47.680
And we find out that Josh has been was just
1371
01:18:47.720 --> 01:18:49.800
pigging out while he was gone. And that's the famous
1372
01:18:49.840 --> 01:18:53.760
Lineman closed the place where he went to the sizzler
1373
01:18:53.800 --> 01:18:59.359
and closed the place. So there's you. You mentioned it.
1374
01:18:59.439 --> 01:19:06.680
Tony plans a dance with the camp Magnolia. I didn't
1375
01:19:06.720 --> 01:19:08.560
know that from the movie. It's just from reading it up.
1376
01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:11.279
Uh so dance when we kind of zoom out. What
1377
01:19:11.319 --> 01:19:14.159
we have here is a huge area where there's just
1378
01:19:14.359 --> 01:19:16.399
summer camps glore. You got the fat camp, you got
1379
01:19:16.399 --> 01:19:18.600
the sports camp, you got the girls camp. They're all
1380
01:19:18.680 --> 01:19:20.800
kind of maybe around the same lake or something or
1381
01:19:20.840 --> 01:19:25.520
same river, all nearby. He plans the dance with the
1382
01:19:25.560 --> 01:19:29.359
girls camp, thinking these kids are gonna be so embarrassed,
1383
01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:31.279
you know these girls and are not gonna want to
1384
01:19:31.319 --> 01:19:33.399
talk to them. I'm not gonna look at them. It's
1385
01:19:33.399 --> 01:19:35.720
gonna be very embarrassing. And at the beginning it is,
1386
01:19:35.800 --> 01:19:39.119
it's very like, boy, the boys are over there, the
1387
01:19:39.119 --> 01:19:43.800
girls are over there. You know, Lars is dj in.
1388
01:19:43.880 --> 01:19:46.199
He's trying to get the party started. Is Lars dj in?
1389
01:19:46.600 --> 01:19:49.640
I feel like it's Lars and then that other kid
1390
01:19:49.720 --> 01:19:52.760
that divulged where like the hiding.
1391
01:19:52.520 --> 01:19:56.479
Spot and the laky haired kid Butch from home Loan
1392
01:19:56.520 --> 01:19:57.399
for some reason.
1393
01:19:57.640 --> 01:20:01.399
And past tim are trying to this is my move
1394
01:20:01.600 --> 01:20:04.239
at like weddings or if ever I go someplace and
1395
01:20:04.239 --> 01:20:08.439
there's dancing required. Basically I dance the way Tim and
1396
01:20:08.600 --> 01:20:10.880
Pat dance. When they go out to try and get
1397
01:20:10.920 --> 01:20:15.479
everyone excited, Lars famously starts playing love machine. I'm just
1398
01:20:15.560 --> 01:20:19.319
a love machine. Bo't work, oh nobody.
1399
01:20:19.479 --> 01:20:24.279
But you heard Tim snaps. I think Phillip, says Philip,
1400
01:20:24.319 --> 01:20:27.760
one of the kind of smart fat kids, Philip and Nicholas,
1401
01:20:27.800 --> 01:20:31.520
you know, the proper fatties. Uh something like I think
1402
01:20:31.560 --> 01:20:34.359
he blew a major milt or he's just like blew
1403
01:20:34.399 --> 01:20:37.319
a major circuit or something. Tim goes out there. Pat's like,
1404
01:20:37.439 --> 01:20:39.199
oh god, I can't let him be out there dying
1405
01:20:39.199 --> 01:20:41.880
on the dance floor alone. That goes out there doing
1406
01:20:41.920 --> 01:20:45.159
you know, his moves. Then Nurse Julie's like, you know what,
1407
01:20:45.479 --> 01:20:47.880
maybe this will get the girls out there. Next thing,
1408
01:20:47.920 --> 01:20:50.000
you know, uh, you know, they get all the kids
1409
01:20:50.000 --> 01:20:51.920
out there, All the campers are out there, the boys
1410
01:20:51.960 --> 01:20:55.039
and girls are mingling and dancing. Everything's fun, everything's great.
1411
01:20:55.479 --> 01:20:58.960
Lars is just going ape shit at the DJ dance.
1412
01:20:59.399 --> 01:21:01.520
It's a real party. And then what does Tony do.
1413
01:21:02.760 --> 01:21:06.000
Uncle Tony do shuts the whole thing down.
1414
01:21:07.520 --> 01:21:09.680
That's the whole thing down. And I think maybe he
1415
01:21:09.720 --> 01:21:11.840
says they need to get to bed, they need to
1416
01:21:11.840 --> 01:21:13.640
get some restpers a hike the next day.
1417
01:21:13.760 --> 01:21:17.079
Maybe I don't know if that's yet. I think he
1418
01:21:17.279 --> 01:21:19.520
definitely like throws cold water on the whole thing because
1419
01:21:19.520 --> 01:21:23.520
his plan is falling apart. So he's shipping the girls off,
1420
01:21:23.560 --> 01:21:27.159
telling the boys all right, it's over with And then something,
1421
01:21:27.199 --> 01:21:30.119
for some stupid reason that's always stuck with me is
1422
01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:33.560
he tells everyone, let's get all this cleaned up. The
1423
01:21:33.600 --> 01:21:36.319
bugs are coming out, so the bugs will be out tonight.
1424
01:21:37.800 --> 01:21:40.359
And this is when we see mac Daddy Salami Sam.
1425
01:21:40.399 --> 01:21:42.520
You know, he's been dancing with the hottest girl there
1426
01:21:42.680 --> 01:21:45.359
camp and it's a nice big kiss from her before.
1427
01:21:45.920 --> 01:21:49.680
Making out before they leave. So uh, a good a
1428
01:21:49.720 --> 01:21:53.600
good boost to the morale of the boys that they
1429
01:21:53.640 --> 01:21:56.960
could kind of overcome this challenge, you know, with the
1430
01:21:56.960 --> 01:22:01.039
help of Pat and Tim and Nurse Julie. So it's
1431
01:22:01.159 --> 01:22:04.359
right after this, Wikipedia is telling me that Josh returns.
1432
01:22:04.880 --> 01:22:08.000
So he was he got he got the boot for
1433
01:22:08.199 --> 01:22:11.399
the Seymour Butts joke that he got Tony Purkis to
1434
01:22:11.479 --> 01:22:16.239
fall for. But Josh famously comes back pretending like his
1435
01:22:16.479 --> 01:22:25.720
like he's had a lobotomy or he's like Josh Josh,
1436
01:22:26.079 --> 01:22:28.439
So he comes back. They're like, what happened? Or no?
1437
01:22:28.560 --> 01:22:31.039
He says, good to see you. He makes some joke
1438
01:22:31.079 --> 01:22:32.880
where you can tell they cut out a swear word
1439
01:22:33.079 --> 01:22:38.600
and like they like dub his voice. Yeah, Josh comes back,
1440
01:22:38.720 --> 01:22:41.399
says basically, his father's lawyer threatened to sue Tony for
1441
01:22:41.479 --> 01:22:44.840
kicking him out, so he's back. So at this point,
1442
01:22:44.880 --> 01:22:47.119
now they're all the kids are all starting to try
1443
01:22:47.159 --> 01:22:50.359
to formulate plans on what to deal with Tony. And
1444
01:22:50.359 --> 01:22:54.079
it's at this point they Jerry and a bunch of
1445
01:22:54.119 --> 01:22:58.560
them devise a plan to sneak into Tony's office to
1446
01:22:58.640 --> 01:23:02.279
both find their confiscated snacks and to try and find
1447
01:23:02.279 --> 01:23:05.479
any evidence that Tony is like abusing them or what
1448
01:23:05.520 --> 01:23:09.760
Tony purkis is doing is wrong. And so as they're
1449
01:23:09.760 --> 01:23:14.760
breaking in to Tony's office, they do it while Tony
1450
01:23:14.880 --> 01:23:17.640
is out on a run, which led to, you know,
1451
01:23:18.039 --> 01:23:22.359
one of my favorite moments. Tony's jogging. First of all,
1452
01:23:22.399 --> 01:23:27.079
he jogs past Pat and he goes you dog. He
1453
01:23:27.119 --> 01:23:30.560
goes you dogging it? Pat, you're dogging it. I'm dogging it, Pat,
1454
01:23:30.840 --> 01:23:33.760
I'm dogging it. And then he runs he runs past
1455
01:23:33.760 --> 01:23:36.840
a big log, runs past the log. Then comes back,
1456
01:23:36.920 --> 01:23:39.479
picks the log up over his head and goes, come here,
1457
01:23:39.600 --> 01:23:44.239
you devil alog and then starts running with the log
1458
01:23:44.279 --> 01:23:47.960
over his head. But so all the boys break into
1459
01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:51.399
Tony's office. They find that all of their letters that
1460
01:23:51.439 --> 01:23:54.960
they've been writing to their families have not been sent.
1461
01:23:55.479 --> 01:23:59.399
They're all just sitting there in Tony's office. They do
1462
01:23:59.520 --> 01:24:06.279
discover the food stash and oh the way, so they
1463
01:24:06.720 --> 01:24:08.319
I can't remember what else they find in the office.
1464
01:24:08.319 --> 01:24:10.800
But as they're trying to so Tony comes back as
1465
01:24:10.800 --> 01:24:13.159
they're trying to get out of the office. It led
1466
01:24:13.199 --> 01:24:16.720
to my children's favorite part in the movie, and that's
1467
01:24:16.760 --> 01:24:19.560
when they're trying to squeeze Nicholas through the window and
1468
01:24:19.640 --> 01:24:22.760
Nicholas rips a huge fart right in the face of
1469
01:24:22.880 --> 01:24:27.319
Jerry and a couple of the windows. Never forget how
1470
01:24:27.520 --> 01:24:31.119
how a good fart jog will land with kids in
1471
01:24:31.199 --> 01:24:37.000
a kids movie. But so they get out, they escape Tony.
1472
01:24:37.439 --> 01:24:40.560
They're all breathing heavy from almost getting caught there by
1473
01:24:40.800 --> 01:24:43.479
the porta potties or by the bathrooms. And what do
1474
01:24:43.560 --> 01:24:45.359
they hear, tim.
1475
01:24:45.119 --> 01:24:47.760
They can hear a food rapper crinkling, you know, like
1476
01:24:47.800 --> 01:24:50.680
the McDonald's burger wrapper crinkling.
1477
01:24:52.000 --> 01:24:54.000
And so who do they stumble on? Who is it
1478
01:24:54.039 --> 01:25:00.279
that's hiding in the bathrooms? Filla, he's got Candi, Where
1479
01:25:00.319 --> 01:25:02.800
did you get that? And they shake him down and
1480
01:25:02.840 --> 01:25:05.840
we we get a wonderful montage to the song I
1481
01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:09.800
Want Candy, where we find out that the one kid
1482
01:25:09.800 --> 01:25:13.319
that originally betrayed them, who's on Tony's team, has been
1483
01:25:13.399 --> 01:25:17.840
smuggling food to a tree stump, and we see the
1484
01:25:17.920 --> 01:25:20.319
kids going back and forth and get there.
1485
01:25:21.279 --> 01:25:23.920
Yes, he betrayed them because he had a little side business.
1486
01:25:24.000 --> 01:25:27.279
He wanted to get going where he knew that they
1487
01:25:27.279 --> 01:25:29.159
were going to smuggle food in, so he figured, well,
1488
01:25:29.520 --> 01:25:31.680
if I rat them out for that, then I can
1489
01:25:31.760 --> 01:25:33.520
kind of corner the market. And he's probably you know,
1490
01:25:33.600 --> 01:25:36.560
bringing them a McDonald's cheeseburger, which at the time I think,
1491
01:25:36.600 --> 01:25:40.399
you know, they had like that for fifty nine cent cheeseburger,
1492
01:25:40.920 --> 01:25:43.720
a hamburger and cheeseburger deal. So he's probably charging them
1493
01:25:44.079 --> 01:25:46.000
an arm and a leg to get that food smuggled
1494
01:25:46.000 --> 01:25:49.319
in there. It's a good good move on his his uh,
1495
01:25:49.800 --> 01:25:50.880
on his behalf, you.
1496
01:25:50.800 --> 01:25:54.159
Know, yep. So, and I think we we screwed up
1497
01:25:54.159 --> 01:25:55.840
a little bit because I think it's at this point,
1498
01:25:55.920 --> 01:25:58.640
after they eat all these snacks, that's when there's the
1499
01:25:58.680 --> 01:26:02.920
way in that Tony loses his mind because now even
1500
01:26:02.960 --> 01:26:05.439
though Tony had already gotten rid of all the snacks,
1501
01:26:05.800 --> 01:26:10.560
they're still gaining weight. And that's when Tony announces anyone
1502
01:26:10.600 --> 01:26:14.399
that didn't make their their weight goal is going to
1503
01:26:14.399 --> 01:26:16.439
go with Tony on a twenty mile hike.
1504
01:26:16.840 --> 01:26:20.279
Yeah, middle of summer.
1505
01:26:21.840 --> 01:26:25.800
Tim, I on a good day will take a two
1506
01:26:25.920 --> 01:26:30.399
mile walk, So it's safe to say that this twenty
1507
01:26:30.399 --> 01:26:33.720
mile hike would kill you or I maybe not. You're
1508
01:26:33.840 --> 01:26:36.159
you're in better shape than I am. But so Tony
1509
01:26:36.199 --> 01:26:39.600
forces the boys on a twenty mile hike, it would
1510
01:26:39.600 --> 01:26:44.439
have At this point, you know, counselors like Tim and
1511
01:26:44.520 --> 01:26:47.279
Pat and Nurse Julie they're left behind and they're like,
1512
01:26:48.039 --> 01:26:49.720
we got to bring an end to this, like this
1513
01:26:49.840 --> 01:26:52.319
is crazy, Like this isn't safe, you know for these boys.
1514
01:26:52.359 --> 01:26:55.359
We got to figure something out. That's when the cameraman
1515
01:26:55.479 --> 01:26:58.840
goes walking by in some of the best acting that
1516
01:26:58.880 --> 01:27:01.720
I've ever seen out of this actor. Have you seen
1517
01:27:01.800 --> 01:27:04.920
Tony that man, oh's me one hundred bucks?
1518
01:27:05.039 --> 01:27:07.159
Or he just says something right.
1519
01:27:07.279 --> 01:27:11.840
Stupid and they realized that the cameraman has all kinds
1520
01:27:11.880 --> 01:27:16.600
of footage of Tony. You know what Tony's been doing
1521
01:27:16.680 --> 01:27:19.600
to the kids. Yep, So they start doing that to
1522
01:27:19.640 --> 01:27:22.119
try and get Tony out from their end. But once
1523
01:27:22.159 --> 01:27:24.720
you know it that our characters are our main characters,
1524
01:27:24.720 --> 01:27:29.239
these guys have another plan. And now I can't remember
1525
01:27:29.279 --> 01:27:31.880
if they had this plan going into the twenty mile hike,
1526
01:27:32.720 --> 01:27:38.239
but basically halfway through the hike, Tony announces to the kids,
1527
01:27:38.920 --> 01:27:41.439
do you see that mountain over there? We're going to
1528
01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:45.399
go like scale that mountain, and basically Tony's starting to
1529
01:27:45.439 --> 01:27:48.239
lose it. Tony Perks is starting to lose it. He
1530
01:27:48.319 --> 01:27:51.479
runs and jumps out on this huge branch that's hanging
1531
01:27:51.560 --> 01:27:56.920
over kind of this mountaintop, this precipice, and in my
1532
01:27:57.039 --> 01:28:00.880
favorite part of the movie, he's hanging from the limb
1533
01:28:01.359 --> 01:28:04.840
and he says, why don't you come join me? Sam,
1534
01:28:05.720 --> 01:28:07.960
and it cuts to Salami Sam in one of the
1535
01:28:07.960 --> 01:28:11.560
best line readings ever, and Salami Sam goes, oh yeah, mom,
1536
01:28:11.560 --> 01:28:14.920
my way and then makes a face like there's no way.
1537
01:28:14.960 --> 01:28:18.079
He's on his way. I have recorded this scene on
1538
01:28:18.119 --> 01:28:21.000
my phone. I can't tell you how many times. If
1539
01:28:21.039 --> 01:28:23.960
my partner is like, Hey, can you come up here
1540
01:28:24.159 --> 01:28:26.720
and help me with this laundry. Hey, these kids aren't listening. Hey,
1541
01:28:26.800 --> 01:28:28.920
I need your help. And I will just send her
1542
01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:32.279
the video of Salami Sam going oh yeah, mo, my way,
1543
01:28:33.600 --> 01:28:36.840
and then I'll never go there. Salami Sam also famously
1544
01:28:36.880 --> 01:28:40.159
early on in the movie, announces his nickname and says,
1545
01:28:41.119 --> 01:28:43.680
who's ready for the Salami Slam and then does a
1546
01:28:43.680 --> 01:28:47.000
belly flop into the water. We missed that part.
1547
01:28:47.439 --> 01:28:49.640
Yeah, we didn't even touch about the whole the watered
1548
01:28:49.680 --> 01:28:54.239
thing with the buddy system and how Josh.
1549
01:28:53.800 --> 01:28:54.840
Tell us about that, tim.
1550
01:28:54.920 --> 01:28:57.880
Yeah, it's a very quick scene. So they're all swimming
1551
01:28:58.399 --> 01:29:01.960
and uh, you know, large, we're gonna we're gonna do
1552
01:29:01.960 --> 01:29:05.039
the nurse Julie because Lars doesn't paying attention to the kids,
1553
01:29:05.039 --> 01:29:07.920
and he tells Nurse Julie, Oh, don't worry, I have
1554
01:29:07.960 --> 01:29:10.880
the buddy system. But it sounds like body the body system,
1555
01:29:11.359 --> 01:29:15.000
the body system, and then he blows his whistle. Buddy
1556
01:29:15.159 --> 01:29:16.640
and the kids, you know, they all go to their
1557
01:29:16.640 --> 01:29:19.039
buddy to make sure everyone say okay, except of course,
1558
01:29:19.159 --> 01:29:21.760
my boy Josh, sitting on the dock in his shade,
1559
01:29:22.079 --> 01:29:23.079
just raises his one hand.
1560
01:29:23.079 --> 01:29:27.039
I always love it, buddy, just almost hand up.
1561
01:29:27.479 --> 01:29:29.560
Even Lars kind of had to give Josh a little
1562
01:29:29.560 --> 01:29:32.159
bit of you know, respect, like, well, he's just gonna
1563
01:29:32.159 --> 01:29:34.520
be sitting on the dock sunbathing, you know, we'll let
1564
01:29:34.600 --> 01:29:36.439
him get away with things. He's a little bit, you know,
1565
01:29:36.760 --> 01:29:38.399
cooler than everybody else.
1566
01:29:39.239 --> 01:29:41.560
And it's Josh that gets him. So they're up there,
1567
01:29:41.800 --> 01:29:44.119
they decide they have to do something about this hike.
1568
01:29:44.680 --> 01:29:47.399
And I can't remember exactly how they trick him into it. Oh,
1569
01:29:47.880 --> 01:29:52.680
they tell Tony there. The kids all start arguing and
1570
01:29:52.720 --> 01:29:54.720
one of them says, you know, Josh says, you can't
1571
01:29:54.720 --> 01:30:00.479
do a sit up with your eyes closed, right. Ben
1572
01:30:00.560 --> 01:30:05.479
still is like, oh, there's many He says something about
1573
01:30:05.520 --> 01:30:09.159
there's many myths to the abdominal, about the abdominal system,
1574
01:30:09.319 --> 01:30:11.319
and he's happy to put this one to rest.
1575
01:30:12.720 --> 01:30:16.560
Ben Stiller's line deliveries in this movie are just pard
1576
01:30:17.560 --> 01:30:18.159
so good.
1577
01:30:19.680 --> 01:30:22.840
So Ben Stiller gets on gets on the ground to
1578
01:30:22.920 --> 01:30:25.960
do a sit up with his eyes closed, and while
1579
01:30:26.000 --> 01:30:29.800
they're doing that, Josh stands over him, pulls his pants down,
1580
01:30:30.159 --> 01:30:33.800
puts his ass right in Tony Purkis's face. So when
1581
01:30:33.800 --> 01:30:37.000
Tony sits up right away. He's looking what is the
1582
01:30:37.039 --> 01:30:40.920
line that Josh says, I tried looking this up before before.
1583
01:30:42.159 --> 01:30:44.319
Oh you like the view, Tony or something like that.
1584
01:30:44.680 --> 01:30:49.039
I think Bencher says, Oh my god, and he doesn't.
1585
01:30:52.279 --> 01:30:57.479
He like karate chops him. He karate chops him, like
1586
01:30:57.560 --> 01:31:02.720
right below his ass cheeks. Josh falls over. Kudos to
1587
01:31:02.800 --> 01:31:04.880
Josh for pulling his pants up in the process of
1588
01:31:04.920 --> 01:31:09.560
falling over, but yeah, Tony like karate chops him. Josh
1589
01:31:09.600 --> 01:31:14.079
takes off running. What we realize is that the kids
1590
01:31:14.079 --> 01:31:17.640
had set up this trap, so Tony's chasing after Josh.
1591
01:31:17.720 --> 01:31:21.359
It ends up falling down into this into this pit.
1592
01:31:23.359 --> 01:31:29.720
So they locked Tony up. So Tim Patt and Julie,
1593
01:31:29.760 --> 01:31:32.439
you know, they're doing their own things. Suddenly Gerald shows
1594
01:31:32.479 --> 01:31:34.640
back up at camp like breathing hard, and they're like,
1595
01:31:34.640 --> 01:31:37.640
oh my god, what happened? Like come on, we have
1596
01:31:37.720 --> 01:31:40.439
to show you now. Tim. I don't know about you
1597
01:31:40.479 --> 01:31:43.520
and your kids, but if my kids and I ever
1598
01:31:43.600 --> 01:31:47.520
have to set up a password, we've established the one
1599
01:31:47.520 --> 01:31:51.239
and only password that we use, and it's from this movie.
1600
01:31:51.279 --> 01:31:53.119
The kids have set up a password to come in
1601
01:31:53.920 --> 01:31:55.840
to see where they're hiding. Tony, do you remember the
1602
01:31:55.840 --> 01:32:02.239
password Yankee doodles. That's correct. So they've got Tony hooked
1603
01:32:02.319 --> 01:32:10.000
up to a bug zapper. Yeah, in this cell. This
1604
01:32:10.079 --> 01:32:11.840
is where it kind of it's like, oh God, like,
1605
01:32:11.840 --> 01:32:13.840
are they gonna like kill Tony? At this point, if
1606
01:32:13.840 --> 01:32:15.680
you're first watching it, you're like, oh man, this might
1607
01:32:15.760 --> 01:32:19.199
like get really crazy. But so they got Tony locked
1608
01:32:19.279 --> 01:32:23.359
up and the campers kind of take back control of
1609
01:32:23.479 --> 01:32:27.399
camp hope. Do you speaking of honey, do you remember
1610
01:32:27.399 --> 01:32:28.920
what they do to Lars?
1611
01:32:29.359 --> 01:32:31.680
Oh? Yeah, they duct tape him to a tree and
1612
01:32:31.720 --> 01:32:34.319
spread honey on his chest and they, you know, they
1613
01:32:34.359 --> 01:32:37.560
let him know like the bears love the honey or whatever.
1614
01:32:37.800 --> 01:32:40.920
So he's, you know, haird shitless. And then they're gonna
1615
01:32:40.920 --> 01:32:46.600
go have just the biggest, grandest ketonistic feast you've ever
1616
01:32:46.640 --> 01:32:47.520
seen on camera.
1617
01:32:48.119 --> 01:32:50.439
They binge, they binge. I always I get a kick
1618
01:32:50.479 --> 01:32:55.199
out of when they rip Lars's shirt and he goes, oh,
1619
01:32:55.279 --> 01:32:59.279
he kind of gives us. When they rip his shirt
1620
01:32:59.279 --> 01:33:02.359
and put honey out, he says, some figure, I love you.
1621
01:33:02.520 --> 01:33:04.399
They're like, are you with us? Because eventually they on
1622
01:33:04.560 --> 01:33:06.600
ty Lars and he joins in right.
1623
01:33:09.159 --> 01:33:11.119
The hedonism, I love you.
1624
01:33:11.359 --> 01:33:13.359
So they have a big Binge. They have this like
1625
01:33:13.439 --> 01:33:20.520
big big binge eating bonfire. Oh they boy, doesn't this
1626
01:33:20.600 --> 01:33:24.159
sound like The way they get Lars to go along
1627
01:33:24.199 --> 01:33:27.399
with them was very ahead of ahead of its time.
1628
01:33:27.560 --> 01:33:31.720
They threaten Lars with deportation. I forgot about that. That's
1629
01:33:31.720 --> 01:33:36.159
how we've learned all kinds of lessons from this movie.
1630
01:33:36.479 --> 01:33:38.479
It's all right, So they have a big party. The
1631
01:33:38.520 --> 01:33:42.000
next morning. Pat gets everyone up and kind of gives
1632
01:33:42.000 --> 01:33:44.359
some very soft, you know, shaming and kind of a
1633
01:33:44.439 --> 01:33:47.439
motivational speech, you know, saying, you know, you gotta start
1634
01:33:47.760 --> 01:33:52.560
taking responsibility for yourself, start doing healthy, safer things to
1635
01:33:52.840 --> 01:33:56.479
lose weight, start a healthier regimen, try to make Camps.
1636
01:33:56.640 --> 01:33:59.239
Who resembles a human s'more at this moment?
1637
01:34:00.439 --> 01:34:00.560
Uh?
1638
01:34:01.479 --> 01:34:03.640
I think you know? He asked what did you learn?
1639
01:34:03.680 --> 01:34:06.680
And Roy Boyce says, never put twinkies on your pizza.
1640
01:34:07.359 --> 01:34:11.640
I remember that line specifically basically saying like, all right, guys, like,
1641
01:34:11.720 --> 01:34:14.119
is this is this really what camp? Hope? You know
1642
01:34:14.159 --> 01:34:15.960
we got it from Tony, but is this what we
1643
01:34:16.039 --> 01:34:18.399
really want to be resembling?
1644
01:34:18.439 --> 01:34:18.600
Here?
1645
01:34:18.640 --> 01:34:22.560
It's just that the trough covered in all sorts of
1646
01:34:22.560 --> 01:34:26.239
food stuff, and everyone kind of like, yeah, maybe maybe
1647
01:34:26.279 --> 01:34:27.079
he's excellent.
1648
01:34:27.439 --> 01:34:34.560
Yeah, excellent slow motion to the benchine. So okay. So
1649
01:34:35.359 --> 01:34:39.000
they there's like another montage of them all starting to
1650
01:34:39.039 --> 01:34:41.479
do like healthier things again. I guess we're assuming that
1651
01:34:41.520 --> 01:34:44.880
Tony is locked up in this cage this entire time
1652
01:34:45.800 --> 01:34:48.520
while this is going on, but so.
1653
01:34:49.800 --> 01:34:51.600
Well, it shows him locked up. He's like, let me
1654
01:34:51.680 --> 01:34:52.119
out of here.
1655
01:34:57.119 --> 01:34:59.239
But so two things kind of happen at the same time.
1656
01:34:59.279 --> 01:35:02.000
Then they have the parents. The parents are eventually invited
1657
01:35:02.039 --> 01:35:07.359
to the to the camp to check in.
1658
01:35:07.479 --> 01:35:11.479
The mid season Midsummer Parents Day visit or something like that.
1659
01:35:12.119 --> 01:35:13.760
Do you remember how Tony escapes?
1660
01:35:15.079 --> 01:35:19.000
Yeah, he takes a little Hershey's kiss rapper that's empty
1661
01:35:19.560 --> 01:35:21.760
and kind of fashions it to look like there is one,
1662
01:35:21.840 --> 01:35:25.039
and he pulls Nicholas into kind of coming over to
1663
01:35:25.079 --> 01:35:28.800
take it from him. And I can't remember exactly how
1664
01:35:28.840 --> 01:35:31.600
he gets out, like what he does? Does he do
1665
01:35:31.720 --> 01:35:34.039
something to kill the electricity to the bugs effort? Like
1666
01:35:34.079 --> 01:35:35.560
he sticks Oh, you're.
1667
01:35:35.399 --> 01:35:38.399
Right, he sticks something in to kill the electricity, drops
1668
01:35:38.399 --> 01:35:40.439
a fake hershey Kiss in front of Nicholas and then
1669
01:35:40.560 --> 01:35:45.800
like reaches out and grabs him. So as the parents
1670
01:35:45.840 --> 01:35:49.319
are there, I'm just gonna read this exactly from Wikipedia.
1671
01:35:49.439 --> 01:35:52.079
The boy's parents arrived for visiting day and are shown
1672
01:35:52.119 --> 01:35:56.600
a video documenting Tony's cruelty, which is interrupted by Tony
1673
01:35:56.800 --> 01:36:03.079
having escaped his cell, exchanging blow with Jerry's father, Jeffrey Tamboor.
1674
01:36:03.920 --> 01:36:08.600
He attempts a series of backflips but knocks himself out.
1675
01:36:09.119 --> 01:36:12.359
That's how we that's how they best Tony. He attempts
1676
01:36:12.359 --> 01:36:16.000
a bunch of backflips, knocks himself out. As Tony is
1677
01:36:16.039 --> 01:36:19.119
taken away, we do meet Tony Purkiss Sr. Who is
1678
01:36:19.399 --> 01:36:21.279
very obviously just being played by Ben.
1679
01:36:21.159 --> 01:36:24.600
Stiller Ben Schiller which would later become you know and
1680
01:36:24.640 --> 01:36:27.359
start saying hutch when he goes undercover as the dude. Yep,
1681
01:36:28.000 --> 01:36:30.800
that's suing voice that same character. But I did want
1682
01:36:30.800 --> 01:36:33.520
to touch on so when they're showing like this video
1683
01:36:33.920 --> 01:36:37.520
of Tony's abuse, and you know, they clearly doctored a
1684
01:36:37.520 --> 01:36:39.439
little bit, they're like finding a rat and acting like
1685
01:36:39.439 --> 01:36:43.880
they're eating a rat and stuff like that, and I think, uh,
1686
01:36:44.279 --> 01:36:47.119
maybe that is that when we hear the lunch's hand
1687
01:36:47.119 --> 01:36:49.920
sold due to like maybe not. But anyway, when he
1688
01:36:50.079 --> 01:36:52.000
escapes and he sees the video, he's doing like a
1689
01:36:52.039 --> 01:36:55.800
slow clap, Wow, bravo. But I feel the little the
1690
01:36:55.920 --> 01:36:58.079
villain may have been, you know, something like taken out
1691
01:36:58.079 --> 01:36:59.239
of context.
1692
01:36:59.000 --> 01:37:01.640
A little over the a little over the top.
1693
01:37:02.079 --> 01:37:04.479
As he starts walking to the kids, he keeps grabbing
1694
01:37:04.520 --> 01:37:07.600
glasses from the table and shattering and walking across the glass,
1695
01:37:07.800 --> 01:37:10.239
and he's like and as he's walking across the glass,
1696
01:37:10.239 --> 01:37:16.720
he's like, I like screaming it. And then finally when
1697
01:37:16.760 --> 01:37:18.920
he gets to Jerry's dead, Jerry's dad punches him in
1698
01:37:18.960 --> 01:37:21.920
the gut and I think he might like hit him
1699
01:37:21.960 --> 01:37:22.640
back and then.
1700
01:37:22.840 --> 01:37:24.720
But then he pops back up and does the same
1701
01:37:24.800 --> 01:37:28.199
like karate chop to the back of its neck.
1702
01:37:29.159 --> 01:37:31.840
Does the does the double judo chop before doing his
1703
01:37:31.920 --> 01:37:34.359
backflips and hitting his head on the stage, and I
1704
01:37:34.359 --> 01:37:37.359
guess he guess that was like, you know, the final blow.
1705
01:37:39.359 --> 01:37:43.399
So so all right, So right before Tony Perks leaves,
1706
01:37:43.239 --> 01:37:46.239
he promises to refund everyone's money, but he's gotta close
1707
01:37:46.279 --> 01:37:48.800
the camp. The boys want the camp to stay open.
1708
01:37:49.039 --> 01:37:51.880
He's like, so seeing Percose, He's like, well, I gotta
1709
01:37:51.960 --> 01:37:54.399
leave it, and uh gotta leave an adult in charge
1710
01:37:54.439 --> 01:37:57.399
who's been here the longest. And that's when the pat
1711
01:37:57.479 --> 01:37:59.520
the council raises his hand and says he's been there
1712
01:37:59.520 --> 01:38:03.199
for eight years, and so they kind of turn it
1713
01:38:03.239 --> 01:38:07.319
over to Pat. He agrees to, you know, at least
1714
01:38:07.319 --> 01:38:10.239
for right now, take over Camp Hope. And so here's
1715
01:38:10.239 --> 01:38:16.079
where we get to the final final chunk of the
1716
01:38:16.079 --> 01:38:19.079
the movie where we find out that every year Camp
1717
01:38:19.119 --> 01:38:23.720
Hope will go against Camp MVP in these like MVP Games,
1718
01:38:23.760 --> 01:38:26.039
an annual competition. I can't remember if there's a name
1719
01:38:26.079 --> 01:38:26.880
for the games.
1720
01:38:27.279 --> 01:38:29.439
There is, I can't remember what it is either, but
1721
01:38:29.560 --> 01:38:30.039
I do know this.
1722
01:38:30.199 --> 01:38:34.039
Get a really fun sequence and and I guess if
1723
01:38:34.079 --> 01:38:37.720
there's any it's it's almost like a triathlon or there's
1724
01:38:37.840 --> 01:38:43.840
multiple different legs of this competition between Camp Hope and
1725
01:38:44.000 --> 01:38:50.279
the and Camp MVP. Do you remember them? Activity by activity.
1726
01:38:50.319 --> 01:38:54.199
There's one that's like a test of knowledge where where
1727
01:38:54.199 --> 01:38:59.239
we have Grandma's boy himself dressed up like Einstein.
1728
01:39:00.479 --> 01:39:01.800
Is. He's smoking a cigarette too.
1729
01:39:04.800 --> 01:39:08.479
There is like what's the It obviously ends with the
1730
01:39:08.520 --> 01:39:11.079
big go kart race, but I feel like I want
1731
01:39:11.159 --> 01:39:11.560
to touch that.
1732
01:39:11.920 --> 01:39:13.800
You have to shave the shape who can shave the
1733
01:39:13.840 --> 01:39:16.119
bloon better? And we learned earlier that Josh has been
1734
01:39:16.119 --> 01:39:19.079
shaving for years. So you like here like whistling and
1735
01:39:19.119 --> 01:39:22.319
doing it, like flicking the shaving cream off the razor.
1736
01:39:24.439 --> 01:39:28.239
Right, there's like an obstacle course and then a test
1737
01:39:28.279 --> 01:39:31.279
of okay, So here it is m VP takes the
1738
01:39:31.359 --> 01:39:34.039
lead in the first event, which is an obstacle course,
1739
01:39:34.560 --> 01:39:36.640
camp Hope catches up in the second round, which is
1740
01:39:36.640 --> 01:39:41.319
a test of knowledge. Right, and god, what were some
1741
01:39:41.399 --> 01:39:45.359
of the the stupid things in the test of knowledge?
1742
01:39:45.680 --> 01:39:50.399
Because yeah, like Nicholas just knocks all of those out
1743
01:39:50.399 --> 01:39:52.319
of the park. I can't remember.
1744
01:39:52.079 --> 01:39:54.920
Remember the case. Julie keep saying the same thing, like
1745
01:39:54.960 --> 01:39:57.119
his answer is just the same thing over and over again.
1746
01:39:58.840 --> 01:40:02.239
Skate is screaming it right now. But kudos to Nurse
1747
01:40:02.359 --> 01:40:06.600
Julie dressing up like the statue of liberty. That looks
1748
01:40:06.640 --> 01:40:10.159
like freedom. It looks like freedom to me. And then
1749
01:40:10.199 --> 01:40:15.640
it finally ends in the go kart race where Gardner
1750
01:40:15.720 --> 01:40:20.000
Jerald finally gets his chance to driving the go karts.
1751
01:40:20.439 --> 01:40:24.920
They put the Captain's wings back on his jacket that
1752
01:40:25.000 --> 01:40:27.760
he got from flying on the plane at the beginning
1753
01:40:27.840 --> 01:40:30.560
of the movie. This was pretty exciting. I love a
1754
01:40:30.560 --> 01:40:34.760
good go kart. There's a great go kart scene in
1755
01:40:34.840 --> 01:40:41.119
Little Giants when Rick Rick moranis is in the go
1756
01:40:41.319 --> 01:40:44.119
kart and he's doing a race with you know, his
1757
01:40:44.159 --> 01:40:48.279
brother Ed O'Neil, who's in like a nice corvette love
1758
01:40:48.319 --> 01:40:49.439
a good go kart race.
1759
01:40:49.800 --> 01:40:52.079
There's also really quick the go kart scene where like
1760
01:40:52.600 --> 01:40:54.640
Red Tad and some of the other kids are being
1761
01:40:54.640 --> 01:40:58.079
picked on by the kids from the Cowboys, and then
1762
01:40:58.079 --> 01:41:00.239
who comes to the rescue ice Box on her go
1763
01:41:00.319 --> 01:41:01.880
cart and chases their asses down?
1764
01:41:01.960 --> 01:41:05.359
Oh, chases them on their bikes yep, yep, knocks them
1765
01:41:05.359 --> 01:41:08.560
all into like water on their bikes. All right, I'm
1766
01:41:08.560 --> 01:41:10.640
starting to lose steam here, but we're almost done. There's
1767
01:41:10.680 --> 01:41:17.159
a great, uh you know, climactic scene where Gerald is
1768
01:41:18.000 --> 01:41:21.399
Jerry's running behind in the go kart, but right at
1769
01:41:21.399 --> 01:41:25.279
the very end he hits this ramp, goes flying up
1770
01:41:25.359 --> 01:41:28.279
into the air over top of the Camp MVP go
1771
01:41:28.479 --> 01:41:31.479
kart just in the nick of time to cross the
1772
01:41:32.000 --> 01:41:36.199
finish line, and he, you know, he's exuberant. He yells,
1773
01:41:36.279 --> 01:41:40.439
I was flying, Pat, I was flying. Big cheer, big goose,
1774
01:41:40.640 --> 01:41:46.199
goose bumps. Moments you know, Camp Hope has won. Whoever
1775
01:41:46.239 --> 01:41:48.239
that dink is that they had playing the council from
1776
01:41:48.279 --> 01:41:51.000
camp MVP comes up and he says, we're gonna we're
1777
01:41:51.000 --> 01:41:55.600
gonna challenge this or we're gonna dispute this. That's our trophy.
1778
01:41:55.640 --> 01:41:57.680
And then don't they have sims? What do they have
1779
01:41:57.760 --> 01:41:58.560
sims do with.
1780
01:41:58.479 --> 01:42:04.840
The trophy into the lake? I think chasing after it
1781
01:42:04.960 --> 01:42:05.359
or something.
1782
01:42:05.520 --> 01:42:09.239
Yeah, because the trophy is that that's other foreshadowing. They
1783
01:42:09.319 --> 01:42:13.079
just wanted a trophy. They just wanted a participation trophy.
1784
01:42:13.199 --> 01:42:17.199
They just wanted someone to give them an award. Really okay,
1785
01:42:17.720 --> 01:42:21.000
And we get an end credit scene where Pat, the
1786
01:42:21.079 --> 01:42:28.880
campers and Lars sing the Camp Hope theme song. Anything else? Tim?
1787
01:42:28.920 --> 01:42:32.720
I am also learning right now from Wikipedia that there's
1788
01:42:32.760 --> 01:42:34.720
a post credit scene. Did you know this?
1789
01:42:35.199 --> 01:42:35.920
Oh my god?
1790
01:42:36.119 --> 01:42:39.960
No, In a post credit scene, Tony is now an
1791
01:42:40.039 --> 01:42:46.520
unsuccessful door to door salesman selling healing crystals. Oh. I
1792
01:42:46.560 --> 01:42:48.159
don't know if I've seen that.
1793
01:42:48.239 --> 01:42:49.439
I've never seen that either.
1794
01:42:50.079 --> 01:42:54.640
Now I gotta fire it up and uh and watch that.
1795
01:42:55.119 --> 01:42:58.479
So all right, Tim, I'm out of breath. Anything that
1796
01:42:58.520 --> 01:43:01.000
we missed, I don't know. Did you make any other notes,
1797
01:43:01.039 --> 01:43:04.479
any big quotes? My name is Lars? Oh what did?
1798
01:43:05.479 --> 01:43:07.800
There's only the one thing we missed when they're getting
1799
01:43:07.840 --> 01:43:10.560
pictures of them all. After Tony and Lars come in,
1800
01:43:11.199 --> 01:43:13.560
Josh is like picking his nose and making faces, and
1801
01:43:13.600 --> 01:43:16.880
then finally he sticks the uh sticks his name tag
1802
01:43:17.119 --> 01:43:19.960
over his ass for the picture, and you hear the
1803
01:43:20.039 --> 01:43:26.159
camera you've broken my camera. One thing we missed and
1804
01:43:26.199 --> 01:43:29.399
then he broke it by camera Tony. The other thing
1805
01:43:29.439 --> 01:43:31.159
is Tony says something that he's gonna make them all
1806
01:43:31.199 --> 01:43:33.960
into skinny winners and they start, you know, run with
1807
01:43:34.000 --> 01:43:39.760
the skinny Wieners. I think we hit all of the
1808
01:43:39.800 --> 01:43:42.800
points I can really remember, though. I mean that there's
1809
01:43:42.840 --> 01:43:44.479
a lot of high points in this movie, a lot
1810
01:43:44.520 --> 01:43:46.880
of good funny move moments. So okay, I think.
1811
01:43:46.720 --> 01:43:49.399
I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do one
1812
01:43:49.439 --> 01:43:53.199
more thing, because who cares, We've already gone super long.
1813
01:43:53.239 --> 01:43:55.479
What's a couple more minutes. I'm just gonna pull up
1814
01:43:56.640 --> 01:43:59.239
best quotes from heavyweights, and I'm just gonna kind of
1815
01:43:59.279 --> 01:44:04.600
hustle through and see if there's any uh see, if
1816
01:44:04.600 --> 01:44:08.960
there's any remissed. Yeah, here it is. Attention campers. Lun
1817
01:44:09.279 --> 01:44:11.640
Lunch has been canceled due to a lack of hustle.
1818
01:44:12.039 --> 01:44:17.720
Deal with it, Okay, when Tony's doing some like meditation
1819
01:44:17.840 --> 01:44:22.079
for them. All you need is Mother Earth, Father Sky,
1820
01:44:22.840 --> 01:44:30.359
and your dear old uncle Tony. Okay, when this is
1821
01:44:30.359 --> 01:44:33.119
what Josh says when they find the candy, Josh is
1822
01:44:33.159 --> 01:44:36.439
like the candy belongs to Seymour butts, and Tony's like
1823
01:44:36.479 --> 01:44:39.840
seymore butts, seymore butts, and Josh goes nobody's see more
1824
01:44:39.880 --> 01:44:44.279
butts than you, Uncle Tony. At one point, Lars yells,
1825
01:44:44.319 --> 01:44:47.760
put your fat finger down, if that's right before they're broken,
1826
01:44:48.279 --> 01:44:53.479
Right before you put your fat finger down. Here's another
1827
01:44:53.520 --> 01:44:56.199
purpose time. Did you ever hear the story of Icarus
1828
01:44:56.560 --> 01:44:59.520
who continually rolled the ball up the hill, but when
1829
01:44:59.520 --> 01:45:01.479
he got to close, the ball melted in the heat
1830
01:45:01.520 --> 01:45:06.960
of the sun. You're all like Icarus. I don't remember
1831
01:45:07.000 --> 01:45:11.079
this one, Lars, Okay. This is at the water scene.
1832
01:45:11.159 --> 01:45:13.920
Lars pushes a kid in the water. Hey, don't peel
1833
01:45:13.880 --> 01:45:18.039
in the water. Hey don't drink the water he peed
1834
01:45:18.039 --> 01:45:23.279
in it. Don't put twinkies. We did cover good for us,
1835
01:45:23.319 --> 01:45:28.920
tim Oh, Lars, I'm feeling skinny. Tony. All right, here's one.
1836
01:45:29.079 --> 01:45:31.039
Here's one we forgot and this isn't in the list,
1837
01:45:31.079 --> 01:45:33.720
but it's just coming to mind. When Tony is laying
1838
01:45:33.880 --> 01:45:38.000
on the bed of nails. Oh yeah, this is the
1839
01:45:38.039 --> 01:45:41.399
seventeenth level of the Perkose system. You'll be doing this
1840
01:45:41.439 --> 01:45:48.000
by labor day. Uh. He goes, all right, do it,
1841
01:45:48.079 --> 01:45:52.199
do it, Lars, and Lars goes, it's my honor, Tony
1842
01:45:52.640 --> 01:46:00.439
and then smashes a thing of ice over bloodhammer. Okay,
1843
01:46:01.119 --> 01:46:06.560
the lars his deviated septum. We talked that. Don't tell
1844
01:46:06.600 --> 01:46:13.880
anyone I snuck in some oreos. All right, this is
1845
01:46:14.039 --> 01:46:17.159
near the end. When Tony is chasing chasing Josh down
1846
01:46:17.199 --> 01:46:20.079
the hill and Josh pretends to get a leg cramp,
1847
01:46:21.359 --> 01:46:25.199
and Purkis goes, congratulations, you've joined the seventy six percent
1848
01:46:25.239 --> 01:46:30.560
of Americans who forget to stretch before doing a physical activity.
1849
01:46:32.920 --> 01:46:36.119
When Roy asked Lars Lars, what kind of name is that?
1850
01:46:36.159 --> 01:46:38.800
Where are you from? And Lars gets really close to
1851
01:46:38.880 --> 01:46:45.840
Roy and goes far away. Yeah, oh god, it's a huge,
1852
01:46:45.880 --> 01:46:48.199
long thing. When Jerry's writing to his grandma and he
1853
01:46:48.239 --> 01:46:50.840
says someone once said war as hell, Well they've never
1854
01:46:50.840 --> 01:46:54.920
been to fat camp. He gives a whole big monologue.
1855
01:46:55.119 --> 01:47:02.479
I will I won't read that. Harvey Bushkin one word
1856
01:47:02.560 --> 01:47:08.199
of advice never let anyone sign you checks. Uh. At
1857
01:47:08.239 --> 01:47:12.000
one point, when one of the kids gets on the scale, goes, huh,
1858
01:47:12.239 --> 01:47:19.800
very fat, I see.
1859
01:47:16.479 --> 01:47:19.439
Maybe you weigh in when he says tell Sims he's
1860
01:47:19.479 --> 01:47:21.039
the fattest kid at camp because they have like an
1861
01:47:21.079 --> 01:47:22.840
initial weigh in right first?
1862
01:47:23.359 --> 01:47:32.720
Yep? Okay, uh, all right, Josh comes back. Okay. There's
1863
01:47:32.840 --> 01:47:36.079
when the girls, the camp Magnolia girl start arguing with them.
1864
01:47:36.119 --> 01:47:38.279
She goes, why don't those guys just lose weight? And
1865
01:47:38.319 --> 01:47:40.279
another girl goes, why don't you show them how to
1866
01:47:40.319 --> 01:47:47.079
throw up after meals like you do? Rule, I'm almost
1867
01:47:47.319 --> 01:47:49.359
I'm almost done. But who you know who cares?
1868
01:47:49.439 --> 01:47:50.319
Uh? Oh?
1869
01:47:50.399 --> 01:47:51.840
Yeah, I head to fat camp. No, why do you
1870
01:47:51.880 --> 01:47:54.000
say that because you're fat? Is that your dad?
1871
01:47:54.079 --> 01:47:54.199
No?
1872
01:47:54.239 --> 01:47:55.920
Why do you say that because he's fat too?
1873
01:47:58.680 --> 01:47:59.399
Is that your dad?
1874
01:48:01.119 --> 01:48:07.319
Uh? Uh? Okay. So this is when Josh has been
1875
01:48:07.439 --> 01:48:10.399
kicked out and they're all gossiping and Cody goes, Sam,
1876
01:48:10.680 --> 01:48:15.359
did you hear about Josh? Oh? And the chef jeez,
1877
01:48:16.079 --> 01:48:19.880
geez Louise. The chef is played by Peter Berg, who
1878
01:48:19.920 --> 01:48:22.039
would go on to be like a director. Do you
1879
01:48:22.079 --> 01:48:27.479
remember that that's Peter Berg is the chef and he say,
1880
01:48:27.600 --> 01:48:31.399
he says, sorry to hear about your little friend Josh. Yeah,
1881
01:48:31.439 --> 01:48:33.960
and they're like, I found out the truth about Josh.
1882
01:48:34.600 --> 01:48:36.239
I heard they kicked him out and his parents were
1883
01:48:36.239 --> 01:48:38.439
so mad they wouldn't let him come home. And then
1884
01:48:38.479 --> 01:48:40.840
Cody goes, they left him at a bus stop all
1885
01:48:40.880 --> 01:48:44.279
alone at midnight. They cut back to the chef and
1886
01:48:44.279 --> 01:48:48.920
he goes, he's uh, well, he's dead. Then it cuts
1887
01:48:48.960 --> 01:48:52.159
back to Philip. They said he pulled a knife on
1888
01:48:52.279 --> 01:48:54.239
Tony and now they have him locked up in a
1889
01:48:54.319 --> 01:48:58.319
juvenile delinquent center. And Sam goes, now he's living in
1890
01:48:58.359 --> 01:49:00.319
a park in New York with a guy who has
1891
01:49:00.359 --> 01:49:04.880
no legs, and Jerry goes, no way, and Sam's like,
1892
01:49:04.920 --> 01:49:06.479
I'm just telling you what I heard.
1893
01:49:07.119 --> 01:49:11.880
Right, It is a good way of capturing you know
1894
01:49:12.439 --> 01:49:15.960
how kids that age kind of talk and spread rumors too, Like, hey,
1895
01:49:16.560 --> 01:49:18.520
just telling you man. You know, when you're a kid,
1896
01:49:18.520 --> 01:49:21.000
when you're ten, eleven, twelve, if someone tells you something,
1897
01:49:21.359 --> 01:49:23.479
you're gonna be like I think I'm gonna google it
1898
01:49:23.560 --> 01:49:27.359
and do some more research. You're just like, hey, I heard.
1899
01:49:27.199 --> 01:49:33.239
Man, Yeah, oh yeah, just the way like Gosman, Okay,
1900
01:49:33.880 --> 01:49:35.119
I feel like I should be done. I feel like
1901
01:49:35.159 --> 01:49:39.560
I want to find one more good one to end on. Congratulations,
1902
01:49:39.600 --> 01:49:45.359
mister sim you're the fattest boy in camp. This is
1903
01:49:45.359 --> 01:49:48.039
when Tony gets out, You've been a good god. Nicholas
1904
01:49:48.479 --> 01:49:52.319
bear and strong, and he goes, I want to reward
1905
01:49:52.359 --> 01:49:55.119
you with his chocolate kiss, and Nicholas goes throw it
1906
01:49:55.159 --> 01:49:58.800
over and Tony goes, then it would smoosh. We wouldn't
1907
01:49:58.800 --> 01:50:02.119
want that. And then when he grabs Nicholas, he goes,
1908
01:50:02.159 --> 01:50:09.159
looks like London Bridge is falling down. All right, here's
1909
01:50:09.199 --> 01:50:10.960
one last one and then we'll end it. This is
1910
01:50:10.960 --> 01:50:17.319
from Tony purkis Repulse the monkey part, the wild Horse's
1911
01:50:17.399 --> 01:50:20.159
main I think that's how we should end every episode now,
1912
01:50:20.239 --> 01:50:23.840
tim by saying all right, everyone, repulse the monkey part,
1913
01:50:23.880 --> 01:50:26.319
the wild Horse's name. Do you think we did justice
1914
01:50:26.319 --> 01:50:28.880
to heavy waste? Do you think Skate will be happy?
1915
01:50:28.960 --> 01:50:33.560
Do you think we we've fulfilled his request to do Heavyweights?
1916
01:50:33.880 --> 01:50:36.000
Oh yeah, I think this is the deepest side we've
1917
01:50:36.039 --> 01:50:37.840
taken into an individual movie yet.
1918
01:50:39.119 --> 01:50:41.119
All right, well, I think the fact that I feel
1919
01:50:41.159 --> 01:50:44.840
dehydrated and have a headache means that I think it's
1920
01:50:44.840 --> 01:50:48.520
about time to wrap it. Up anything else you wanted
1921
01:50:48.520 --> 01:50:51.760
to mention Tim, this was fun.
1922
01:50:52.800 --> 01:50:55.600
No, I think we accomplished what we set out to
1923
01:50:55.640 --> 01:50:56.439
do with this one.
1924
01:50:57.760 --> 01:51:00.840
We did. You know some podcast ors, other podcasts out
1925
01:51:00.880 --> 01:51:03.720
there that made their bones on, you know, like talking
1926
01:51:03.760 --> 01:51:06.880
about Heat as the greatest movie of all time, and
1927
01:51:07.039 --> 01:51:11.000
you know, everything kind of comes back to Heat. I
1928
01:51:11.079 --> 01:51:14.279
think Heavyweights is our Heat. I think everything else, all
1929
01:51:14.359 --> 01:51:17.279
those movies in the nineties, everything we grew up on,
1930
01:51:17.760 --> 01:51:20.439
it all comes back to I think what is our
1931
01:51:20.520 --> 01:51:22.960
magnum opus, which is Heavyweights? You agree?
1932
01:51:24.119 --> 01:51:24.720
I agree?
1933
01:51:25.399 --> 01:51:28.439
All right, Well, thank you worst friends. You know as
1934
01:51:28.479 --> 01:51:33.760
always repulse the monkey part the wild Horse's main zip
1935
01:51:33.760 --> 01:51:35.319
it up, zip it out, Zippy Doo
1936

Dah Baker sleazy
1
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:30.239
Greeting campers. Hi, Hi, Hi. Don't worry, guys, you'll get it.
2
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.640
You'll pick up. Welcome to a very special Camp Hope
3
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.520
edition of Mike at the Movies. Everyone. My name is Colin.
4
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.399
I'm a Mick. I watch movies, and I was born
5
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:43.320
and raised on many of the movies we're going to
6
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:48.679
be talking about today. Welcoming back to the show. He
7
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:50.920
hasn't been here in a while because he's been at
8
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.719
the Sizzler closing the place down. It's Tim.
9
00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:02.280
Welcome, Tim Phoened, Skinny Tony.
10
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.960
Pheli, Skinny Tony All. That's good. We're finally doing it, folks.
11
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.920
We're quote unquote doing Heavyweights. This has been a long
12
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:13.120
time coming. This is a movie that has been very
13
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.799
formative for myself. Tim. Basically everyone that we know can
14
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.640
quote this movie top to bottom. I think when do
15
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.519
you think Skate first sent us the text do Heavyweights?
16
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.560
Months ago when we first started the episode. This has
17
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:31.120
been a long time coming, Tim.
18
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.040
Right probably right after we decided to record a movie
19
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.959
pod or maybe the after the first one.
20
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:43.079
Yeah, and he's struggled through Do Heavyweights? Yep, he's he's
21
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.280
suffered through every episode since then and we're finally we
22
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.439
think he deserves this one, and Lord knows, we're gonna
23
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:54.959
screw up and forget countless different things that happened in
24
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.799
the nineteen ninety five movie Heavyweights. And he'll let us
25
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.159
know after the fact when he's listening to it, but
26
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:04.400
first him, just like Matthew Fox in Loss, before we
27
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.280
look ahead, we have to go back. We have to
28
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:11.280
go back. So just looking back a few quick corrections
29
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.919
notes some things that have popped up since our last
30
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:20.000
couple of episodes. We did receive a letter in some
31
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:25.400
messages from the lawyer, a lawyer representing Troy. It sounds
32
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.960
like it did actually come through in his text to
33
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.199
Tim and I, but I'm fairly certain that was his lawyer.
34
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.919
Sounded like a lot of lawyers speak that Troy was
35
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:42.280
texting us. There's some allegations regarding our reporting on Febfest
36
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:48.560
from our correspondent Skake, notably, specifically some allegations regarding if
37
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:53.879
Troy ever mentioned the movie Avatar, and then his lawyer
38
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.719
also demanded that we make a retraction and say that
39
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.719
we both had in fact been invited to Fedfest and
40
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.879
had received I believe in invitation. In writing, we've passed
41
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.639
all this on to our lawyers. We haven't had skate
42
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:11.599
sit down with the lawyers. You know, we are an
43
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:15.560
independent media company, so we stand by our reporting and
44
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.879
our correspondent. I think what is happening here is just
45
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:24.680
another example of what's unfortunately been going on in the
46
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.520
in the world in general. Is we are it's an
47
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:33.199
attempt to intimidate, pressure or you know, bully us when
48
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:39.080
we report on information that others others don't like. You know,
49
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.919
I will say we we love t Roy. We've been
50
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.319
friends with him for a long time. He does represent
51
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.000
Big Canoe. Just as there's big Big Pharma, big Tech.
52
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.439
You know, Troy represents Big Canoe, and they're a little
53
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.280
bit more conservative. They believe that, you know, people should
54
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.719
be sitting on their ass when on a watercraft. You know,
55
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.360
Tim and I have been at the fore front of
56
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.240
believing that it's okay to be able to stand up
57
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.240
on a watercraft. So there's a lot of friction there, right,
58
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.680
So our lawyers advise us not to say too much.
59
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.400
We're reviewing materials. We're going to talk with Skake, but
60
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.519
I will say that, you know, we we refuse to
61
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:24.920
be pressured or bullied here at the Worst Friends Podcast Network. Tim,
62
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.319
anything else you want to add, you know, we'll obviously
63
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.319
have follow ups and updates after our lawyers sort things out.
64
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.439
Anything else you want to add, Yeah.
65
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:37.720
I just wanted to add really quick. True, we will
66
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.759
not be bullied, but we will accept money from people
67
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.279
in lieu of bully. You know, if they want to
68
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.920
give us money, then maybe we would allow a little
69
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.199
bit of bullying. But we do know our constitutional rights,
70
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.040
and I just wanted to really quick touch on this.
71
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.360
We did get an invite for February or for feb
72
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.879
Fest twenty seventh, fab Fest obviously being held in January
73
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:06.839
twenty seven, course and every other year, and apparently there
74
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.040
was an issue. I am drawing a plank. Did we
75
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.439
record Troy's top favorite movies? Did we record a discussion
76
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:14.800
about that?
77
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.839
Yeah? We went through skkes Skake's reporting. You remember Skate
78
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.480
sent us an image of a notes app that had
79
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.160
both Troy's top five from twenty twenty five and top
80
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:27.240
all time.
81
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.879
Yes, okay, apparently it wasn't Avatar in his top five,
82
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:36.160
but Star Wars. And it is kind of funny because
83
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.639
you Roy might you know, every once in a while,
84
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.079
we might say something to Neill here way off in
85
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.040
the distance coming from Baldwin, just barely audible. You'll hear
86
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:53.639
nerds for me geek, maybe even sometimes. But I can
87
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.560
specifically remember watching Fellowship of the Rings in a dorm
88
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.279
that you and Skate both shared with Troy and also
89
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:07.480
with another fellow. And I remember watching Fellowship of the
90
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.439
Rings in that dorm and Troy specifically welcome water the
91
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:15.279
shit fucking nerds, and then a few minutes later him
92
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.560
being completely glued to the TV, not wanting to miss
93
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.199
what was happening next. So I think maybe he's got
94
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:22.600
a little bit of that nerd in him.
95
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.959
Well he's claiming, yeah, he's claiming now that suddenly an
96
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.120
all time movie for him as Star Wars. Now, look,
97
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.720
I'm not gonna say I'm the biggest Star Wars fan
98
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.240
you know, in the world, but I have based most
99
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.920
of my life and religion around those movies, have loved
100
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.720
those movies all my life. I've also known Troy most
101
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.560
of my life, have never once had a single conversation
102
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.000
with him about Star Wars. So, like, do you think
103
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.680
Troy knows who shot first Grido or Han? I don't
104
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.079
think so. Like I said, our lawyer's advised us not
105
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.279
to get into it. We're gonna do some follow up reporting.
106
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.199
We're gonna let them sort through this, but we did
107
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.720
want to address it right off the bat. Here a
108
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.519
few more quick corrections. Apologies again for my audio on
109
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.360
the A Mick in King Arthur's Court sounded like I
110
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.439
was recording in an empty oil drum. Here's hoping that
111
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.959
this sounds better. And also in that episode, wouldn't you
112
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.920
know it, a guy talking about a whole bunch of
113
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.639
bros Playing Knights. I forgot to give my best Gwenevere
114
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:29.519
in the arth Wards the Arthur Awards. Apologies to Kiera Knightley.
115
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.399
I'm gonna have to give this award to Julia Ormond
116
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:37.160
two reasons. Again, no slight to Kiera Knightley. If war
117
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.879
broke out between Ireland and England right now and they
118
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.560
said the only way that we can resolve this, Colin
119
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.079
is to make you King of Ireland, but you'll have
120
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.079
to take Kiera Knightley as your queen for the good
121
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:52.199
of both countries. Yes, I would accept that, but in
122
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.000
this case Julia Ormond was just a little bit more
123
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.079
queenly in her Queen Gwenevere, and it allows me to
124
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:02.120
tell the story that I once heard that Julia Ormond
125
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:05.319
does not have any bones in her nose, so she
126
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.319
can actually like squish the meat of her nose flat
127
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.079
against her face. I've never made any attempt to verify that,
128
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.360
but I always it's always in the back of my
129
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.800
mind when I'm watching Richard gear try to eat her
130
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.680
face in the movie First Night, because I'm looking at
131
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.240
her nose to see how much it squishes against her face.
132
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.279
So I'm sorry to that queen, but Julia Ormond does
133
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.600
take my best Gwenevere.
134
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:31.480
All right regulations to Julia.
135
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.720
Then, Oh dude, Julia Ormond is a gem even now.
136
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.480
I think last year she was like the head of
137
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.960
the can Film Festival committee things. She's still out there
138
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.720
doing her thing, So shout out to her. All right,
139
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.200
new quick segment, because we got a lot to get
140
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.919
to here. I'm calling this segment planes, tims and automobiles.
141
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.639
Even though you know everyone knows we make it's a
142
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.960
little over a million a year apiece doing this podcast.
143
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.759
Tim still keeps his day job, he doesn't, you know.
144
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:04.679
He still likes to work with the people and not
145
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:08.440
just live off our fat podcast salary. So, uh, in
146
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.000
this segment of planes, Tim's and automobiles, tell us about
147
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.080
your your work travels, Tim, what's been going on?
148
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:16.799
Yeah, that's right. I'm like Jay Leno. Jay Leno's you know,
149
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.759
famously always says I never touched my Tonight Show money.
150
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.600
You know that he just the millions upon millions of
151
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:24.679
semi load trucks of money that he made for the
152
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:26.639
Tonight Show. He just has it all in safe keeping
153
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.759
that he you know, bought his you know, six hundred
154
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.960
cars with his uh stand up money.
155
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.240
Apparently, what's the movie with what's the movie with Leno
156
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.360
and mister Miagi? Do you remember it off the top
157
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.799
of your head? I don't know, all right, you keep talking,
158
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:42.600
I'm gonna look it up.
159
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.080
Well anyhow. Uh Yeah, So during a work trip, I
160
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:51.279
went to the the Great White North of Minnesota, and uh,
161
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.000
it was actually a quite uh you know, just a
162
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.960
short trip. Flew from Grand Rapists to Chicago to Duluth, Minnesota.
163
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:00.440
Just gonna be there a few days. The first few
164
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.759
days Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, we're quite pleasant, sunny, relatively warm
165
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:10.200
for February and Minnesota. I knew Tuesday night into Wednesday morning,
166
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:11.960
there was a chance that I was gonna get pretty
167
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.799
nasty out and of course I was scheduled to leave,
168
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.360
scheduled to depart from the Duluth Airport at seven to
169
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:23.279
fifty am on Wednesday. Woke up to about, you know,
170
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.840
looked like a nice fourteen inches of snow and continuing
171
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:30.039
to look like it's coming down sideways because of the wind.
172
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:32.919
And so I woke up, it was all packed up,
173
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.720
drove to the Duluth Airport, and as I'm getting there,
174
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.720
like there is no way that at seven fifty am
175
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.519
I want to get on this plane covered in ice.
176
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:47.679
But anyhow, I'm just like whatever. I check in around
177
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.039
you know, seven o'clock am, I don't know your flight's
178
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.039
been delayed till ten am, and I'm looking at the
179
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:57.000
weather app on my phone. I'm like, it's still coming
180
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.679
down pretty good out there, still you know, blowing sideways.
181
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.279
Long story short, my flight that was supposed too late
182
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:08.399
fifty am left at approximately five thirty pm, some time
183
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.080
to kill into d Luth Airport, which has one little
184
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.960
store in one little restaurant, which were closed the whole day.
185
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.159
I decided, you know what, I got some time I'm
186
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.840
going to see what there is on Amazon, or you know,
187
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.360
see what there is on the different Hulu, the different
188
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:24.840
apps on my phone and watch something.
189
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:27.799
That was my recommendation to you is to get on
190
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:28.480
that hooplah.
191
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.840
Yeah, I ended up settling on. I was also working
192
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.039
a little bit in the airports. You know, I have
193
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.639
that rise and grind might say, but I settled on
194
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.080
Big Trouble in Little China to kill a nice couple
195
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.480
hours of my day. I just got to say that
196
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.480
Kurt Russell and John Carpenter, in my opinion, are one
197
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:49.279
of the all time director actor duos. And also Kurt
198
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.279
Russell's mullet in the eighties was the most beautiful one
199
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.759
ever on film until maybe Joe Dirt. And I just
200
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.960
wanted to mention that to keep bringing a big Joe Dirt,
201
00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.639
but definitely if you ever ever seen that movie and
202
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:03.679
you're for a nice little fun two hours of absolute
203
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:06.919
insanity and Kurt Russell just, you know, completely hamming it up.
204
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.000
And at one point he shoots a gun into the
205
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.159
air to kind of intimidate people, and he shoots like
206
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.879
the ceiling and all falls on his head. So yeah,
207
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:17.919
just what great moments in that movie.
208
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.559
Better, Better movie Big Trouble in Little China or the
209
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.360
movie Collision Course starring Jay Leno and Pat Morita from
210
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:27.399
nineteen eighty nine.
211
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:30.960
It's got to be pretty close. But I'm going to
212
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:32.720
give the edge a little bit to Big Trouble in
213
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.559
Little China just because Kurt's mullet was Jay Leno probably
214
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.919
had a mullet then too, but kurtz was probably better.
215
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:43.159
Ironically, Leno's chin is actually as long as Kurt Russell's
216
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.639
mullet in that movie, so they do. It's just like
217
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:46.919
he's standing backwards.
218
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:49.039
So are you looking at? Are you looking at like
219
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:50.759
a poster or a picture for that?
220
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:53.759
A couple of different things.
221
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:57.720
Yes, the Canadian tuxedo, the denim on denhim.
222
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:02.120
Looks like he has no leather jackets, but then also
223
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:07.720
kind of a de Niro from heat, like a suit
224
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.240
like a white or like a grayish suit. And the
225
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.559
looks like the poster classic eighties poster with Lenno and
226
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:20.000
Pat Marita miss Miagi standing back to back and Leno's
227
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:21.679
like holding a gun up with that look on his
228
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:24.320
face like how did I end up here with mister Miyagi?
229
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:26.600
Or I should say, hey, how did I end up
230
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.600
he Withyagi. All right, what else you got? We got
231
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:31.159
a lot to get to.
232
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.360
Tim, I had another another thing. I'm just gonna skip
233
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.320
over and I'm gonna go to this one. So, Colin,
234
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:40.519
have you ever been your wife ever been on the
235
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.279
couch the other end of the couch for you? She's
236
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:46.000
playing Sims on her laptop and I perhaps thinking, boy,
237
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.320
this is this would be the good life? You know,
238
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:51.919
this character that murders her husbands and is a half
239
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.679
bug or whatever. But is she ever sitting down there?
240
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:59.639
And you say, if I watch a movie? She goes, sure, Colin,
241
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.559
this is a Is this what you've been doing? Or
242
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.360
is this what you're doing? What's the name with your segment?
243
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.960
Is this what you're doing? So she's playing as you
244
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.679
go to fire up a movie, and then she looks
245
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:11.600
over from her fake life and goes, is this what
246
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.360
you're doing? Is this what you're doing? What were you doing? Tim?
247
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.320
I decided to watch the movie A Simple Plan from
248
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.840
I Believe nineteen ninety eight, directed by Sam Raimie, starring
249
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:28.720
Bill Paxson, Rip Billy, Bob Thornton, and Bridget Fonda. As
250
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.240
well as you know, you get a little bit of
251
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.279
Gary Cole in there for a little bit and stuff
252
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:34.919
like that. But have you ever seen this movie?
253
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.639
Oh? Yeah, yeah, way it's been it's been a while,
254
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.240
but I feel like that was weirdly a movie that
255
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:47.320
I watched like right when it came out, and then
256
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:51.480
maybe revisited it once. But it's been a long time.
257
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:54.039
The the thing that comes to mind now with the
258
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.480
Simple Plan is, and I'm stealing this as a bit
259
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.000
from I don't know if you were going to talk
260
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.360
about this from Blank Check. On that podcast, one of
261
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.120
their producers claims that if he ever found himself in
262
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.000
the situation of a Simple Plan, it wouldn't go bad
263
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.320
at all and he would just like live happily with
264
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.559
the money the rest of his life. That's the most
265
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:12.919
that's been in my life recently.
266
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.000
Yeah, so I've actually after watched this event. I started
267
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.000
listening to that episode yesterday and it was the producer said,
268
00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:21.519
I would do everything right and it'd live on a
269
00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:29.879
private island. Yeah, but man, this was you know Sam Raimie,
270
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:33.720
He's well known for his horror, schlocky type films and
271
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:38.240
obviously the Spider Man trilogy. I didn't really know what
272
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.000
to expect you know, I knew it was like they
273
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.519
find money in a plane. In a plane, they find
274
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:44.519
a crash plane and there's a bag of money in it,
275
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.159
and then you know, quickly things start going sideways when
276
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.639
they deserved or when they decide to keep the money.
277
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:54.440
But I gotta say, uh, and you know, I've kind
278
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:57.080
of soured on the Sky in recent years Billy Bob Thornton.
279
00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:58.960
I don't know why. I don't really know why I've
280
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.360
soured on him. I think maybe just because every time
281
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.039
I open Facebook there's like these AI generated things of
282
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.840
Billy Bob Thornton and the Landman criticized the view and
283
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.240
fans can't get you know, and it's just like, really.
284
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.919
See, I haven't seen I haven't seen any of that
285
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.440
my and sorry to interrupt, it's you know, and I
286
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.720
never do this on the episode, but it's because he's
287
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:22.679
just gone to TV. That was my really, quol Lie.
288
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.120
There was Goliath, which was on Like Stars, and now
289
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:28.919
he's on like land Man. And I did like him
290
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:32.480
in that stint on Fargo, but to because I agree
291
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.360
with you, and I tried to think, I'm like, why
292
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:36.240
am I kind of you know, Iffy, It's just because
293
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:38.600
I haven't seen him in any movies lately, but I'm sorry,
294
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:38.840
go on.
295
00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.559
Also, when he does those T mobile commercials, he clearly
296
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:46.720
is trying to become Timothy Oliphant in those. Uh but
297
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.799
all that aside, all that aside, I must say, in
298
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:55.200
a simple plan, you know, my god, he was an
299
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.120
absolute tour to force in that he got nominated for
300
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.960
Best Supporting Actor in a I was listening to, like
301
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.080
I said to blank Check and Kevin Smith was on there,
302
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:05.720
and he was I agree with Kevin Smith, Like how
303
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:08.000
he did not win in the blank Chunk guys agreed
304
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:10.160
to like how he did not win was beyond me
305
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:14.039
because that was that was, I mean, just an all
306
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:17.599
time great performance. And it got me kind of thinking
307
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.240
because Bill Paxson's in that movie too. Another you know
308
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.279
a guy that we really love, I would say, is
309
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.240
Bill Paxton, whether it's you know, a small role like
310
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:28.440
in True Lies as the slime Ball, or you know
311
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:31.319
in Aliens when he's completely losing his ship, or in
312
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:33.799
movies like This and Twister where he was a leading man.
313
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:38.359
I mean, I felt Bill Paxson was awesome, but it
314
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:40.079
kind of got me thinking, you know, we we have
315
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.519
the Chris Rankings. Maybe someday we could tackle this is
316
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:47.240
just something that you on, just something on now. Maybe
317
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:50.960
we could tackle the the Bill slash Billy Rankings, you know,
318
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.839
with Paxon and Pullman and Billy Bob Thornton and of
319
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:58.039
course Billy Baldwin and uh Arrest. I don't know why
320
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.759
Billy Baldwin is Billy Crystal. You know, there's a lot
321
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.279
of good Bills and Billies out there. I would exclude
322
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.559
the Williams just because you know, they're trying to be
323
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:08.519
a little bit They're they're trying to be a little
324
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:10.799
bit you know, high and mighty with all that.
325
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:16.200
But okay, that you hey, you know what I'm taking it.
326
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:18.920
I'm putting a little A one on it. I'm swapped,
327
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.359
you know, slushing it around in the A one. What
328
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.920
I was trying to do was find find who he
329
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:31.920
lost to in the Oscars that year. And once, you
330
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:35.119
know what, the Oscars doesn't have that fan friendly of
331
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.720
a website, so let me keep he was probably in
332
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:39.720
a supporting role.
333
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.319
Yeah, we see the supporting role.
334
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:46.440
Okay, then I think I'm in the wrong year and.
335
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:48.640
I think the movie was in ninety eight, so maybe
336
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:50.720
it was in ninety nine the Oscars.
337
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:53.640
Good good, call him in the ninety eight Oscars. So
338
00:18:53.720 --> 00:19:00.599
let me do this nineteen ninety nine Oscars. Getting there.
339
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:07.200
I'm almost there. Keep vamping, keep vamping at.
340
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.359
Bills and billies. Okay, good, Oh.
341
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.640
But it doesn't tell me who oh, No, it does
342
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:13.839
tell me the winner. All right. So you got Billy
343
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:18.119
Bob Thornton, a simple plan, Jeffrey Rush, Shakespeare in Love,
344
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:24.720
Ed Harris, The Truman Show, and apologies to this man.
345
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:26.319
He's a great We're going to talk about him in
346
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.319
another episode. But Robert Duvall was nominated for a civil action.
347
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:32.200
Do you remember a civil action? Tim?
348
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:33.319
I don't.
349
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:40.200
But the winner goes to James Coburn for Affliction. You'll
350
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.759
notice that there was no ding from mort in that
351
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.680
pause that we gave right there. Okay, I'm sorry to
352
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.839
James Coburn. I probably would recognize him if he came
353
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:51.079
up to me on the street. This is the first
354
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:53.720
and last time I've ever heard of the movie Affliction, so.
355
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:55.079
You're probably right.
356
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:59.119
Okay, all right, so the Billy Bob's I did kind
357
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:00.599
of start to tune you up when you wanted to
358
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.200
do all the lists and rankings, of all the Bobs
359
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.400
and brothers in Bros. If I had to, off the
360
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:13.599
top of my head, Billy Bob rankings number three, Tombstone
361
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:17.720
when he gets pistol whipped by the afore mentioned Kurt Russell,
362
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:27.079
number two, Armageddon number three, get him man deep potato repetatos.
363
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:32.160
That would be sling Blade. Also then Robert Duval play
364
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:37.200
his dad in sing sling Blade? Am I misremembering that? I?
365
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:39.079
You know, I haven't seen that movie in so long?
366
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:44.279
Sometimes come on, TikTok a little bit, I do. I
367
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.279
you quote it quite a bit though, because whenever I
368
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.559
have to get in the car after my wife has
369
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:51.880
driven it, I always say his quote when he fixed
370
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.079
the guy's like, can you fix this lawnmore? What's wrong
371
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:58.640
with it? And he goes he ain't got no gas
372
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.640
really quick, you know, just just to put a bow
373
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.519
on Billy Bob here for a second. Sling Blade was
374
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:10.799
also written and directed by him, so that is quite
375
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:11.759
quite a.
376
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:15.880
He was an all tour. He was an all tour, Like,
377
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:17.720
why is he still not doing that? Like if you
378
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:20.759
told me that Billy Bob is writing, directing, and starring
379
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:24.720
in a movie, right, you know, coming up? I would
380
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:27.920
put that right in the middle of the list of
381
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.240
movies that I may or may not bailon, you know, like,
382
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:32.599
keep doing that. I don't know why you're doing.
383
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:34.359
Because he directed all the pretty horses.
384
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:37.400
All right, you're right. It probably went south after that.
385
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:40.960
I did send you something when when Robert Duval passed away.
386
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:43.400
There are all these nice things going around, and it's
387
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:47.200
someone in some article quoted how Robert Duval called Billy
388
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:52.720
Bob Thornton the redneck citizen Kane or the redneck Orson. Wells,
389
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:55.400
I thought that was but they made a point to say, like,
390
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:57.960
but he said it in love. That's just how Robert.
391
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:02.839
She said it with love. So okay, all right, were
392
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:04.480
ready to move on? You got anything else?
393
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:09.400
Yeah, I had another suggestion, but I'm gonna I'm gonna
394
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:11.279
cut it, gonna table it.
395
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:17.000
Okay, Well, speaking of unfortunate passings aways again, we're gonna
396
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.160
get to We're gonna give Duval kind of his his
397
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:23.039
own flowers and love in a different episode. But we
398
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.200
also lost James Vanderbeek recently, so you know, rest in
399
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:31.079
paddling James Vanderbeek, he's super young, really sad, you know,
400
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:35.359
only a couple of years older than us. I had
401
00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:38.599
known he was sick. They did some Dawson's Creek reunion
402
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:40.720
maybe like a year or so ago, and like everyone
403
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:43.720
was there except for him, but he like video conference Dan,
404
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:46.119
and you could see he was really sick, just just
405
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:49.400
terrible rest in paddling to him. I do feel bad
406
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:52.359
because when I found out he died, I'm like, oh,
407
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:55.039
I wonder if we should talk about him on the podcast.
408
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.359
But he's more of a TV guy, you know, He's
409
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.920
more like Dawson's Creek, you know, to me. And then
410
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:02.559
I don't know if it was right away or shortly
411
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:04.519
after him, like what the hell am I talking about?
412
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.319
He he made a very, you know, indelible impact in
413
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:11.880
the world of movies, especially for people our age, with
414
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:16.920
the classic Varsity Blues, and so it kind of worked out.
415
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.599
It's never good when something works out well that an
416
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:22.000
actor died and we were already going to talk about stuff,
417
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.880
But Varsity Blues does kind of fit into the latter
418
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:28.400
end of an era of movies we're going to talk about,
419
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:31.799
but we won't spend a lot of time on Varsity Blues.
420
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:34.000
But Tim, you can agree that that was about as
421
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.960
accurate a depiction of playing football in high school. As
422
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:40.720
you know, that was basically a documentary. We would always
423
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:45.799
steal cop cars, you know, drink beers on the field
424
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:51.319
after the game, like James Conn's tweeter, did anything else
425
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:56.039
like Varsity Blues related and then any other quick you
426
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:58.440
know Vanderbeek thoughts and roles.
427
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:01.960
I can't remember Varsity Blues really well. And I think
428
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.920
we've talked about this before, one with John Vavoight or
429
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:07.000
is that the one with Billy Bob as the coach.
430
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:10.119
Now Billy Bob was Friday Night Lights. Okay, so that's
431
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:13.160
maybe that should that should be somewhere in the Billy
432
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:16.079
Bob rankings. I'm sorry to that, Billy Bob, but no,
433
00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:20.559
crazy John Voight. Remember James Vanderbeeks, the backup quarterback, that
434
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:25.160
beautiful hunk of blonde hair. Also, man, I really hope
435
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:28.440
Vanderbeek and Paul Walker are up there on some stand
436
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:30.119
up paddle boards in heaven right now.
437
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:34.000
That's how I'm the big Lineman guy too. He's dead too, man,
438
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:35.680
is he really? Yep?
439
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:38.519
Wasn't his name Billy Bob? I do the movie?
440
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:41.079
I don't know again, this is gonna make me sell
441
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:42.880
like an asshole. I always get to mix up with
442
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:45.920
a Reggie Ray from not another Team movie.
443
00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:48.880
All Right, I'm gonna I'm gonna have to look this.
444
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:50.759
Do you think it was from all the concussions that
445
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:54.960
his character suffered? Is it? Are you able to think
446
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:58.200
of Varsity Blues without also thinking about not another teen
447
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:00.200
movie where they just make fun of Varsity.
448
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:05.000
Not I'm not. Unfortunately I can't really quick while you're
449
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:06.960
looking it up. There was some other Vanderbeek things I
450
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:10.079
wanted to mention I don't like. Also, when we were
451
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:12.839
in college, that movie Rules of Attraction started kind of
452
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:15.920
circulating them a little bit. Good The Weak is kind
453
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:21.160
of like a borderline sex addict sociopath college student dealing
454
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:24.799
with you know, the rules of attraction and people being
455
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:26.680
obsessed with each other and stuff like that, like.
456
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:28.880
A little more raunchier and like a little more like
457
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:32.759
of a of an edgy or sassy movie, wasn't it?
458
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:38.279
Yeah? Yeah, okay? And then had what's up?
459
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:39.960
Go ahead? Go ahead?
460
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:44.079
He also had a brief cameo role him and you
461
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:47.759
know half of the Screen Actors Guild had a brief
462
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:50.839
cameo role in Jans Bob Strike Back when he was
463
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:56.920
cast to play a Jay's alter ego Chronic in the
464
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.359
blunt Man and Chronic movie, where he was, you know,
465
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.319
playing the Jay character and Jason Biggs was playing the
466
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:07.400
Silent Bob character. It was always a kind of funny,
467
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:15.000
funny little scene when he seems like in your Dawson, you.
468
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:19.200
Were not wrong, You were not wrong. Ron Lester, who
469
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:24.319
played Billy Bob, did pass away in June of twenty sixteen.
470
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:29.240
So hopefully he's up there paddleboarding too. And I don't
471
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:33.480
want to while I have everyone in because this is
472
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:35.319
breaking news. I did not know this. And now I
473
00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:38.240
have to go back and rewatch Varsity Blues because I'm
474
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:42.400
looking at the cast. You remember Paul Walker played. His
475
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:46.839
character's name was Lance Harbor. Well, as I scrolled down
476
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:50.319
the cast list, here I see that there was a
477
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:54.000
Tommy Harbor must have been like a younger brother to Lance,
478
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:58.960
played by Jesse Plemmons. Did you know this? Plemmons was
479
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:03.920
in Varsity Blue. No, stop the pod. We're gonna just
480
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:09.000
we're never gonna top this finding this out, but anymore so?
481
00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:10.039
Uh?
482
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.480
Any other? So Jay and Silbob rules of Attraction. And
483
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:16.720
then I see here in the notes you saw vander
484
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:19.319
beekon an episode of Modern Family. Was there anything else
485
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:21.480
other than you just saw him in an episode of
486
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:22.200
Modern Family?
487
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.039
It was no, that wasn't It was just he was
488
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:31.319
he played himself, you know, Like I don't want to
489
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:33.839
get too much into it because I don't know who
490
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:35.720
out there is familiar with the show. But there's a
491
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:40.480
character named Cameron who's from Missouri. Now he lives in uh, California,
492
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:42.839
and his it's a big joke. You know, he's always
493
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.160
talking about his country life or farmer life back in
494
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:47.920
you know, Missouri, and his wife is pregnant and comes
495
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:51.319
to live with them, and we find out the baby
496
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.279
daddy is James Vanderbeek. Is like this loser. They also
497
00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:57.759
Cam and his partner Mitchell, are gay, and they you know,
498
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:01.680
like he is very hot. You know, like when they
499
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:03.480
finally kick him out of the house, he goes outside
500
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:06.240
the door drop something he like just bend's over and
501
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:08.519
holds it so they're like, you know, staring at his ass.
502
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:13.079
It's pretty funny, oh dice, he was. It's sad he
503
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:15.079
was a hunk. I mean, people are gonna remember, They're
504
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.440
gonna remember James Vanderbeek they're gonna and some people might
505
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:20.759
just remember him from the crying meme, from the crying
506
00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:24.960
James Vanderbeek meme, because man, I mean you and I
507
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:27.519
sat through you watched a good chunk of that Dawson's Creek,
508
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:32.119
and the dorms at at Central right, like the CW
509
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:35.000
or something would just play Dawson's Creek on in some
510
00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:37.359
channel in the dorms and we would just get up
511
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:40.519
in the morning, watch Dawson's Creek, go to class, maybe
512
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:44.559
go to class, steal bikes, come back, watch more Dawson's Creek.
513
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:45.279
Do you remember that?
514
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:48.839
I see I remember. I would go hang out with
515
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:51.039
you guys in your dorm and Skake of all people,
516
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:53.079
is like a champion for Dawson's Creek.
517
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:57.480
Like, dude, I love Dawson's Creek. And someone someone that
518
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:00.200
we're going to talk about a lot coming up here,
519
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:05.000
just every other episode was stealing Dawson's girl. Joshua Jackson
520
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:08.319
came into that show and just whoever Dawson was pining over,
521
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:12.759
Bam Pacey just swoop right in and take that girl
522
00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:16.200
away from him. So we're gonna talk about Joshua Jackson here,
523
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:19.720
who thankfully is still with us rest in paddling though.
524
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:25.279
To Vanderbeet, so Varsity Blues helps kind of lead us
525
00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:29.200
into the main topic today. And I'm a little nervous.
526
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:31.799
You can hear it in my voice because, to quote
527
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:36.039
Chris Parnell from the movie Anchorman, this is a big one.
528
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:38.720
This is a big episode for us, tim this is
529
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:42.720
a big one. We've been talking talking about doing heavyweights.
530
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:46.480
Heavyweights kind of expanded into I think at some point
531
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:50.200
Skake sa and all those nineties movies Mighty Ducks, you know,
532
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:53.960
And so we really tried to do the work here,
533
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:58.000
do the research. We had our crack team of researchers
534
00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:03.079
aka me and you try and go through and make
535
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:05.039
a list and kind of make sense of the era
536
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:07.920
of movies that I think Skate wanted us to touch on,
537
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:12.119
namely the nineties. Some of them are Disney, not all
538
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:18.279
of them are Disney kid oriented films, a lot of
539
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:23.319
them revolving around sports. I think it helped that you
540
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:26.400
may scake all of us, even though remember Scake's like
541
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:28.759
ten years younger than us. That's always weird. We always
542
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:32.160
forget how old Skake is, but he still remembers all
543
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:34.440
of these movies. Most of them are nineties movies, but
544
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.400
we went through and try to make a list and
545
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.759
attempt to define this era. I'm going to give a
546
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:44.400
brief kind of big picture overview. I'm going to name
547
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:46.640
a lot of movies in years, and then we're going
548
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:50.200
to drill down talk about some specifically, and then we're
549
00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:52.720
going to wrap the show up with more or less
550
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:58.079
a deep dive close to a rewatch in real time
551
00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:01.079
of Heavyweights itself, to make sure we try not to
552
00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:06.119
miss anything. Now, Varsity Blues was in nineteen ninety nine. Now,
553
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:09.000
for the sake of this exercise, I look at that
554
00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:12.039
as kind of the end of this era of movies
555
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:15.079
that we're looking at, and it's basically when us as
556
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:19.960
young young boys grew into men. By the time it
557
00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:22.640
was nineteen ninety nine, I'm hoping most of us had
558
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:25.400
hit puberty and we were thinking about things a little
559
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:28.200
bit differently, and Varsity Blues kind of spoke to that.
560
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:35.400
I'm talking specifically about the ice cream Sunday bathing suit
561
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:37.799
that one of the characters wears in Varsity Blues. I
562
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.559
don't think about that a lot, But so going back though,
563
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.480
when you think about the eighties, kind of quote unquote
564
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.279
kids movies. In the eighties, there weren't a lot of
565
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.000
kids movies. It was the teenager young adult what I
566
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:56.319
call the John Hughes era. So you had Breakfast club
567
00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.839
sant elmos Fire, Pretty in Pink that more or less
568
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:03.839
dominated the eighties, and those movies were great, but if
569
00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:06.240
there were younger kids in them, they were mostly like
570
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:10.079
secondary characters. It wasn't until we got into the nineties.
571
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:12.559
And I'm kind of drawing the line of Home Alone
572
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:18.039
in nineteen ninety, even though that's Hugh's related Hughes adjacent,
573
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:21.880
I'm calling that the unofficial end of the Hughes era
574
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:24.839
and the start of what we know as the kind
575
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:29.720
of nineties just for kids era. That sound good so far, Tim,
576
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:32.680
Do you agree with the big picture looks so far?
577
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:36.279
Yeah? I would say the only movie I can think of,
578
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:38.480
like Top of Mind from the eighties that I would
579
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:41.119
really call like a just for kids movie, I would
580
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:44.759
say is Goonies. But other than that, you're right, you know,
581
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:47.359
most people think of it as kind of the quote
582
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:53.480
unquote Brett Pack with Emilia Svez, Judd Nelson and I
583
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:54.160
can't rememb.
584
00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:56.559
Molly Ringwold.
585
00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:58.680
Yes, Yes, Goonies.
586
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:01.200
Goonies is good. I think Goonies is a little bit
587
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:05.519
more Spielberg adjacent. You know, Spielberg did a good job of,
588
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:09.359
like with e T, bringing the kids point of view
589
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:13.960
into movies. Goonies is a good, a good kind of
590
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:18.799
early early example of what we're going to look through.
591
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:20.240
But let me go through. I'm going to do something
592
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:23.160
that's amazing on podcasts, and that's just read a list
593
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:27.720
of things. But I'm going to I'm going to start.
594
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:29.279
There are a couple of movies I have on this
595
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:35.039
list that were before nineteen ninety and I will come
596
00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:37.079
back to them in a second, but just starting at
597
00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:41.880
nineteen ninety with Home Alone nineteen ninety one, Ernest Scared Stupid,
598
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:45.640
and Toy Soldiers. Toy Soldiers was one I wasn't very
599
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:48.319
familiar with until going on the Gold Trip with Jay
600
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:51.200
and Rye. I always thought Toy Soldiers was that movie
601
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:56.720
with the plastic soldiers. This is the OCE, but no,
602
00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:00.519
it has Oh gosh, I'm forgetting Rudy's name, Seant and
603
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:05.960
don Asten and yep, Toy Soldiers and Ernest Scared Stupid
604
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:11.559
nineteen ninety one, nineteen ninety two, Lady Bugs, the Mighty Ducks,
605
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:15.599
Cool Runnings. Oh no way, I skipped ahead. So nineteen
606
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:17.639
ninety two we get Lady Bugs in the Mighty Ducks.
607
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:20.280
Now the Mighty Ducks interject because I didn't know this
608
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.880
was in reverse chronological order until I just looked at it. Now.
609
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:27.840
Also in nineteen ninety two, three Ninjas.
610
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:29.800
Okay, put that down in there. That's a big one.
611
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:32.920
I got it. But it's just not in the right
612
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:33.880
That's okay.
613
00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:37.639
You just now noticed I had these all in chronological order.
614
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:42.000
Three Ninjas is a good one. Mighty Ducks is one
615
00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:45.159
we will come back to because I think this is
616
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:48.159
where the template was starting to build, and we'll see
617
00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:51.599
a lot of Mighty Ducks actors and some other things
618
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:54.119
that we're going to watch. Nineteen ninety three. I don't
619
00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:56.880
really agree with this, but Cooler Runnings. Are there even
620
00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:59.280
any kids in Cool Runnings?
621
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.280
Don't know? I look at it as these mid ninety
622
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:05.519
early to mid nineties PG movies, is what I'm thinking.
623
00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:09.639
Okay, So nineteen ninety three Cool Runnings Rookie of the Year.
624
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:14.000
Hocus Pocus. Now I put hocus Pocus in here mainly
625
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:18.480
because of a very early affection for the actress of
626
00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:21.599
Vanessa Shaw, who was in the movie Lady Bugs. I
627
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:23.920
will be coming back to Lady Bugs, but that's why
628
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:26.639
I put hocus Pocus in, and that's fairly kid oriented.
629
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:30.519
And also in nineteen ninety three The Sandlot. We'll come
630
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:33.400
back to it, but let me keep going. Nineteen ninety four,
631
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:37.199
now this is I think this is the peak. This
632
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:39.800
is where we're getting a glut of you know, the
633
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:44.880
studios have realized, hey, there's some money in making maybe
634
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:50.760
sports related, but just young, kid focused comedies with one
635
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:53.920
or two, you know, adult stars that you recognize, not
636
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:57.000
adult movie stars, but just grown ups who are adults
637
00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:59.360
that are in these. So nineteen ninety four, listen to
638
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:05.079
this list. Mighty Ducks two, The page Master, Young Macaulay Culkin,
639
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:10.840
very underrated. Also mcauleay, Colchin, Richie rich Blank check what
640
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:15.400
I call the Little Trilogy, Little Rascals, Little big League,
641
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:19.320
Little Giants all in nineteen ninety four. And then Angels
642
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:21.840
in the Outfield. It's his name, Rowan Gardner.
643
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:24.440
Angels in the Outfield.
644
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:26.840
I think Skate likes to think his middle name is
645
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:31.360
Rowan Gardner. Oh no, that's Rookie of the Year. I
646
00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:33.199
think it's the same actor, isn't it. Let me keep
647
00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:34.079
going almost.
648
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:38.039
In the outfield as Joseph Gordon Levitt.
649
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:38.840
Angels in the outfield, I get him and the kid
650
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:40.480
that plays Row and Gardner mixed up.
651
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:44.159
We're going to say which one isn't there one with
652
00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:47.440
uh one of the guys from American Pie.
653
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:51.880
We're going to come back to that nineteen ninety five.
654
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:55.639
I disagree with both of these entries in nineteen ninety
655
00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:58.559
five by I'm na read them anyway, Operation Dumbo Drop.
656
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:00.920
I don't think they were I don't think kids were
657
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:04.639
allowed to be around Ray Liota. But anyway, Babe, I
658
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:06.880
think that movie was all about animals and there were
659
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:10.599
no kids. Continuing in nineteen ninety five, the same kid
660
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:14.760
who is in Rookie of the Year, a kid in
661
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:18.920
King Arthur's Court. Thank you to Skate for pointing out.
662
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:21.599
I didn't mention that in my King Arthur episode. I'm
663
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:25.679
almost done. Nineteen ninety five Man of the House, the
664
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:30.400
Big Green, and then finally Heavyweights. There were a few
665
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:33.480
more after nineteen ninety five, so we're talking. You know.
666
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:36.760
Heavyweights comes at a time when I think the formula
667
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:40.480
has been absolutely perfected. In nineteen ninety six, we get
668
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:44.159
Mighty Ducks three. I'm not a fan of that in
669
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:49.159
nineteen ninety seven because Tim believes both in the Tim
670
00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:52.000
believes in both Tim Allen's acting ability and all of
671
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:55.199
his political views. Tim had to add Jungle to Jungle
672
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:58.239
in nineteen ninety seven, and then Varsity Blues in nineteen
673
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:02.039
ninety nine. Whow okay, there was a lot there. Do
674
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:04.360
we want to answer the Rookie of the Year American
675
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.400
Pie Kid question first? Or where do you want to
676
00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:08.559
go to on this list?
677
00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:12.440
Just I just want to touch on really quick, just because,
678
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:16.360
as I've said in the past, it's all connecting. Man
679
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:21.719
Pree Ninja's the grandfather is played by Victor Wong, who
680
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:25.239
also plays egg Shane in Big eggsh In Big Trouble
681
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:28.559
in Little China. And then I also mentioned Modern Family
682
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:32.039
earlier and my wife and I that's kind of you know,
683
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:36.719
our background Noise show right now. The best relationship on
684
00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:40.199
that show is Ed O'Neill. As you know, Jay Pritchett,
685
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:44.599
the mid sixties man married to of course Sophia Virgara,
686
00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:49.960
the much younger, uh you know, Tina Bombshell. But honestly
687
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:52.360
they are in I Don't Neil is God, he's so
688
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:55.280
funny in that show. But again in Little Giants, I
689
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:58.159
know we're probably not gonna touch on this much. The
690
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:02.239
quotes he hasn't uh Little Giants and just him overall
691
00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:05.639
chewing his gum and with his sunglasses on chewing his gum.
692
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:08.199
Look at him. God, he's so great in that movie.
693
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:10.920
So those are the two I wanted to touch on,
694
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:14.360
just to prove again that it's all connected, man.
695
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:19.400
It's all connected. Man. We we just did a rewatch. Well,
696
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:23.800
my creatures from the lagoon had never watched Little Giants,
697
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:27.000
so I maybe about a month ago we did a
698
00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:28.199
Little Giants watch.
699
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:30.639
I gotta go chase my cat into the basement because
700
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:32.280
she's being ridiculous, so.
701
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:38.559
Sounds I'm gonna go get more coffee. Go do that. Okay,
702
00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:41.280
hopefully she didn't get run over. So Little Giants we
703
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:44.639
just did a rewatch, And you're absolutely right at O'Neill's
704
00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:48.320
amazing in it. And you can tell that they whether
705
00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:51.360
it was you know, him giving notes or him kind
706
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:54.800
of making demands, they don't make him the full villain
707
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:57.760
of that movie, which I think works out well. You
708
00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:00.639
know as every time you think he's gonna go like
709
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:03.760
full bad guy, he'll have a nice moment where he
710
00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:06.159
sits down and like talks with the ice box and
711
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:09.480
tells her she's beautiful, or you know, he'll make all
712
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:11.320
these demands, but then he kind of gives in and
713
00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:12.079
sees the lights.
714
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:12.280
You know.
715
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:16.400
He he obviously has the the kind of the machiese
716
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:20.000
mo and the you know, winning at all costs mentality
717
00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:23.320
at the beginning, but kind of sees the light and
718
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:25.559
they do a good job to humanize him and not
719
00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:30.280
make him. You know again, Ben Stiller in Heavyweights is
720
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:34.159
a lot different than the Ed O'Neil character in Little Giants.
721
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:36.079
You know, there's a way you could do these movies,
722
00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:38.760
and they would do these movies where the bad guy
723
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:42.079
is the bad guy over the top, no redeeming them.
724
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:45.280
Ed O'Neil to his credit because of how likable he is.
725
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:48.639
They just couldn't quite do that in Little Giants, So
726
00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:52.480
good call. It was also fun trying to explain to
727
00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:58.639
my children who John Madden was, and yeah, the them
728
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.000
finally realizing that that's why the video their football video
729
00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:05.840
game that they play is called that, right, They just
730
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:08.880
thought that you get mad, you get Madden Play Play Football.
731
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:13.239
It's Madden Football, all right, because Skate's probably screaming at
732
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:16.480
the Uh what do you think what would he scream
733
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:18.599
at I guess his phone while he's listening to this.
734
00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:23.840
So thomas Ian Nicholas, who you had mentioned from American
735
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:28.199
Pie Yes, was both the Rookie of the Year and
736
00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:33.119
also a kid in King Arthur's Court Angels in the Outfield,
737
00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:38.920
You are right, was Uh, where's his name? I'm forgetting
738
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:42.559
his name just because I'm realizing that Tony Danza and
739
00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:47.239
Danny Glover were also in Angels in the Outfield and.
740
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:50.719
Christopher Lloyd, Oh yeah, he was an angel.
741
00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:56.280
What's his name? Joseph Gordon Levitt. I was totally blanking
742
00:41:56.320 --> 00:42:04.000
on Robin there. Okay, So we've talked about Little Giants,
743
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:09.639
Tim loves At O'Neill, we've touched on the I'm sorry, Skake,
744
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:11.480
We're not going to go through every single one of these.
745
00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:13.480
I think we've said about as much as we want
746
00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:17.320
to about Rookie of the Year and a kid in
747
00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:19.800
King Arthur's Court. What's another one of these that we
748
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:22.039
ran through that you want to spend some time on?
749
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:24.760
Tim The only other one I think that we need
750
00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:26.840
to make sure we give a little bit of a
751
00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:30.280
little bit of extra time too, I would say, is
752
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:34.199
the Sandlot. I think that's pretty iconic, you know, whether
753
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:37.599
it's the insult fight between the Sandlot players and the
754
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:39.880
Little League team that ends with you play ball like
755
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:42.480
a girl that kind of, you know, is like crossing
756
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:46.000
the line, or you know the iconic scene with the
757
00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:49.400
chew everyone taking some chow before they get on the
758
00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:52.760
what do they call it the crazy dance and then
759
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:57.639
you know, proceed to vomit all over the course that
760
00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:01.199
has a Michigan Michigan man Jane Old Jones as you know,
761
00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:04.199
the big scary blind guy who everyone's afraid to go
762
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:06.159
in his yard but turns out, you know, he's just
763
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:10.320
a old nice fella. That is you know, what was
764
00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:15.679
the dog's name, beast actual name? I don't know, I
765
00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:16.920
know it dog.
766
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:22.920
Had a name, didn't that you The said Law's awesome
767
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:25.960
by kids have all have all also gotten into a
768
00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:32.159
rhythm of just kind of rewatching binging that movie. It
769
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:35.519
did have the what did they call specs? Oh no, squints,
770
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:40.280
squints squints, good nicknames in it. Obviously there's Smalls led
771
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:43.480
to you know, how often have you heard you killing me? Smalls?
772
00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:48.039
You know, right right from from that movie Squints, the
773
00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:51.639
scene where he, uh, I get it worries me to
774
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:54.639
for my kids to watch these things and get any ideas.
775
00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:57.639
But Squints famously pretends to drowned just so he can
776
00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:01.440
get mouth to mouth from the uh from you know
777
00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:05.280
these movies again, Varsity Blues is when it was like, okay,
778
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:09.920
we're just gonna go like full you know, sexual awakening here.
779
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:12.320
But all these movies would have just a little bit
780
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:17.440
of a you know, hints or a nod towards you know, hey,
781
00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:20.039
you know when you get a little bit older, you
782
00:44:20.039 --> 00:44:21.679
ever think you can find a girl of trying to
783
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:25.320
kiss you? Probably not. Okay, I'm pretend to drowned, and
784
00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:27.079
then when she gives me mouth to mouth. That's how
785
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:28.000
I'll figure this out.
786
00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:28.239
You know.
787
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:31.119
It gave lots of very poor ideas, but it did
788
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:34.679
start to put those ideas in your head. It also
789
00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:42.400
had the curly redheaded kid Ham and now Ham now
790
00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:44.360
that actor Patrick.
791
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:46.880
Renna Patrick, I was gonna say Patrick Renner, right.
792
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:50.519
Patrick Renna. He parlayed that into another movie that was
793
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:53.719
on our list. Big Green. Now, I have admittedly never
794
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:57.920
watched the movie Big Green, but I do. The only
795
00:44:57.960 --> 00:44:59.960
way I know it is because they put Patrick Rea
796
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:02.880
on the poster of it with a soccer ball clearly
797
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:06.960
hitting him in the nuts. Now, have you watched Big Green?
798
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:09.239
And if so, does he take a soccer ball to
799
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:11.639
the nuts in that movie? Can you verify?
800
00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:17.639
I have watched Big Green. I cannot remember if he
801
00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:20.559
does take a soccer ball to the nuts. But uh,
802
00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:23.199
I would say it's very likely, you know, just an
803
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:27.599
overall overall thinking about that movie, I would say it's
804
00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:31.000
very likely. Uh, one of my probably one of them
805
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:33.400
on this list, you know, on that time, that's one
806
00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:35.440
that I feel like is not as good as some
807
00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:38.079
of the others personally.
808
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:42.559
Oh wait, I thought you were gonna name another movie.
809
00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:45.320
You're saying Big Green is not? Yeah, I don't. It
810
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:47.920
is the one that sticks out. I The only reason
811
00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:51.880
I know that movie is from that poster at Roaster. Yeah,
812
00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:56.199
that's the only thing. The better soccer movie, in my opinion,
813
00:45:57.079 --> 00:45:59.840
is nineteen ninety two's Lady Bugs. Now, please tell me
814
00:45:59.880 --> 00:46:02.679
that you you know this Rodney Dangerfield classic.
815
00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:06.760
Yes, I do know this Rodney Dangerfield classic. But I again,
816
00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:08.760
I haven't seen this one in a long time either.
817
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:13.760
Okay, this is Rodney Dangerfield plays Chester, but as in
818
00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:17.360
most Rodney Dangerfield movies, he's basically just playing Rodney Dangerfield
819
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:20.599
right right now. He gets into some kind of trouble,
820
00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:22.559
some kind of shenanigans. I think he's trying to kiss
821
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:25.840
up to his boss, and he pretends that he knows
822
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:28.719
a lot about soccer and that he can coach this
823
00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:32.079
the soccer team, which is a girl soccer team. Well,
824
00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:35.039
once you know, this girl soccer team is not very good,
825
00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:38.960
so Rodney Dangerfield gets his I think girlfriend's son played
826
00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:43.679
by Jonathan Brandis big, big decade for Jonathan Brandis in
827
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:47.519
the nineties. You know he was, he was all over
828
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:49.880
the place. But then it takes a little bit of
829
00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:53.440
a turn, as some of these older movies do. Rodney
830
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:56.639
Dangerfield decides to put a wig on Jonathan Brandis and
831
00:46:56.679 --> 00:46:59.559
make her him pretend to be a girl to play
832
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:02.320
on the girl soccer team, and once you know, a
833
00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:06.199
bunch of hijinks ensue. Again, this sticks out because again
834
00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:08.679
this is ninety two. This is the first time I
835
00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:11.800
saw Vanessa Shaw, and she would pop up again in
836
00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:15.639
the movie hocus Pocus, and I would say that is
837
00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:21.519
was the beginning of an awakening for me, and I
838
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:24.400
won't go too much further into that, only that she
839
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:29.599
played a big part in my maturing. One last thing
840
00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:32.079
on Lady Books, I really don't think they had an
841
00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:35.719
ending to the movie planned out, So I'm almost positive
842
00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:39.480
that the movie ends with them zooming in on Rodney
843
00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:43.000
Dangerfield's character after they win the soccer tournament. But someone
844
00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:44.400
just kind of made a quip to him, and he
845
00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:47.519
looks at the camera and goes, I get no respect,
846
00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:52.440
and then it just it just freeze springs and zooms
847
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:57.119
in on Rodney Dangerfield's face, making the Rodney Dangerfield face
848
00:47:57.559 --> 00:47:59.280
like that, Roddy, how do you want to end this?
849
00:47:59.519 --> 00:47:59.679
Well?
850
00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:01.880
No, no, how about I'll get no respect?
851
00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:02.920
Right?
852
00:48:03.639 --> 00:48:08.119
Credit cuts the credits. We did it? Okay, all right,
853
00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:13.199
I've said my I've said my Lady Bugs piece. I
854
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:16.480
do have kind of a general theory about a lot
855
00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:18.440
of these movies, but I want to make sure we're
856
00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:21.480
are there any others? Are there any others you wanted
857
00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:24.239
to touch on or ones that you think Skate would
858
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:26.159
be mad that we didn't Okay, we didn't really talk
859
00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:31.239
Mighty Ducks. Can you were you a huge Mighty Ducks fan?
860
00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:34.639
Do you have a favorite one? Because a lot of
861
00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:36.880
the Mighty Ducks guys we kind of see pop up
862
00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:37.559
later on.
863
00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:41.599
Oh yeah, I absolutely love the Mighty Ducks movies, the
864
00:48:41.639 --> 00:48:43.840
first two. I like the first two a lot. The
865
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:47.519
first one is probably my favorite. Before I get into that,
866
00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:51.679
when you said big, Big decade for Jonathan Brandis, well
867
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:53.880
I clicked on that and realized the movie we left
868
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:57.400
off this list was Sidekicks with Jonathan Brandis and Chuck Norris.
869
00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:01.599
Chuck Norris, I love that year?
870
00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:09.519
Was that Chuck obviously? And then also but bring the
871
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:11.880
party down? Did you know Jonathan Brandis died in two
872
00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:16.440
thousand and three? This is supposed to be Guess one
873
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:18.119
episode and it's kind of seeming tragic.
874
00:49:18.880 --> 00:49:22.400
I sometimes get Devin Salah and Jonathan Brandis mixed up.
875
00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:26.039
I'm sorry to those guys. I did not know that,
876
00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:30.519
But yeah, thanks for chatting all over this. I'm sure.
877
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:34.079
I'm sure it wasn't like, uh, drug or partying related,
878
00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:37.000
not to be smirch his memory, but hopefully it was
879
00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:42.199
by natural natural causes. What do you have it from you?
880
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:43.639
What year was Sidekicks.
881
00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:47.280
Sidekicks was nineteen ninety two, the same year as a Lady.
882
00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:52.360
Okay, yep, kind of early on. But Mighty Ducks we
883
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:55.760
get Joshua Jackson we get and now I'm going to
884
00:49:55.840 --> 00:49:58.840
forget his name? Who plays Goldie? Who plays Goldberg because
885
00:49:58.880 --> 00:49:59.239
we're going to.
886
00:49:59.239 --> 00:50:02.239
Talk about God? I don't know, but he is.
887
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:09.239
Let's pull it Ducks cast. The weird thing about going
888
00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:11.719
to the cast of these movies is all of their pictures.
889
00:50:11.760 --> 00:50:16.000
Now it's all the pictures are of them as adults,
890
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:18.639
and it really throws you off. So, yeah, Sean Weise
891
00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:22.360
plays Goldberg in it. Who else do we have here?
892
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:31.880
Joshua Jackson obviously the Coachlio Emilio Stavez. Let's see when did.
893
00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:37.599
What was Keenan in the first one?
894
00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:42.239
That's that was the exact question I was asking you?
895
00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:45.599
Or did he just pop up? He's in the he's
896
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:51.480
like the US. Oh yeah, he's he hasn't had any
897
00:50:51.480 --> 00:51:01.119
problems Mighty Ducks two cast. Okay, so Keenan shows up,
898
00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:03.960
but he's he's Russ Tyler. I think he's like the
899
00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:06.320
brother that comes into help. Doesn't he teach them? Like
900
00:51:06.360 --> 00:51:08.880
the knuckle puck in the second movie, the Skeke's just
901
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:12.840
gonna be screaming at the I prefer to quite a
902
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:15.440
bit over one. Do you agree with that or do
903
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:17.320
you kind of hold them?
904
00:51:17.679 --> 00:51:21.039
I feel it's both pretty similar. But I think I
905
00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:22.960
think D two they hit a pretty that was kind
906
00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:25.800
of a sweet spot with the whole you know, with
907
00:51:25.840 --> 00:51:30.440
what happens in it, most of these actors elevating it
908
00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:36.400
beyond Philadelphia. In Philadelphia, that's just a goalie Goldbridge jersey.
909
00:51:36.440 --> 00:51:44.679
He wears that first. Mighty Ducks, Mighty Ducks two. Yeah. Three.
910
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:47.559
I even told my my daughter has been going back
911
00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:50.360
and watching a lot of these movies, and you know
912
00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:53.039
how kids will just do the exact opposite of what
913
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:56.840
you say or or think. I think, just to do
914
00:51:56.920 --> 00:51:59.760
the opposite of what you tell them to do. I
915
00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:01.400
told my darter, I'm like, look, you don't even have
916
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:03.159
to watch May Ducks three. It's not that good. It's
917
00:52:03.199 --> 00:52:06.159
not my favorite. Like a week later, I think Mighty
918
00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:09.119
X three is my favorite. Like, okay, all right, I
919
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:11.199
see what you're doing here, I see what you're doing.
920
00:52:12.400 --> 00:52:17.519
Let's talk about in gold at her for having poor taste.
921
00:52:18.519 --> 00:52:23.039
Well, I did what as a throwback to my King
922
00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:29.559
Arthur episode earlier this week, when Stellin Stellin scarsguard says
923
00:52:29.639 --> 00:52:32.800
to his son played by Till Scheiger, if you have
924
00:52:32.840 --> 00:52:35.920
a disobey me again, I'll kill you where you stand.
925
00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:39.280
That's kind of how I, uh, how I speak to
926
00:52:39.320 --> 00:52:45.280
my children. So I have a theory, and I need
927
00:52:45.320 --> 00:52:48.840
to look up kind of the the evidence to my theory.
928
00:52:49.559 --> 00:52:54.679
But I think we have broached Jim Varney before on
929
00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:58.199
this podcast. But tell me again what your relationship is
930
00:52:58.239 --> 00:53:02.840
to the Earnest movies Ernest famously played by the late
931
00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:03.760
Jim Varney.
932
00:53:05.559 --> 00:53:08.599
I can, really, I can very clearly remember Ernest going
933
00:53:08.639 --> 00:53:12.639
to camp. I can't remember what the conflict is. I
934
00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:15.760
remember they're shooting lemons with like a lemon cannon at
935
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:20.199
some point. I remember that. I clearly remember Ernest going
936
00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:25.559
to prison and somehow surviving the electric chair, and I
937
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:29.679
also remember Ernest being skipched to Oh. I do remember
938
00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:33.239
those three things happening. And I also remember Jim Varney
939
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:36.960
from Beverly Hillbilly's the movie Okay.
940
00:53:36.679 --> 00:53:40.199
Good Good Call. I actually had to. At first, I
941
00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:42.039
had this list of all of these movies, and I
942
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:44.960
had every single Earnest movie on there. But when I
943
00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:47.280
got to like nineteen ninety six and Ernest was going
944
00:53:47.320 --> 00:53:51.440
to Africa, I'm like, okay, no, I'm taking I'm taking
945
00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:53.039
these off. So I only left two of them. But
946
00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:57.280
you mentioned so nineteen eighty seven Ernest goes to Camp.
947
00:53:57.639 --> 00:54:00.320
Let me read the description of this movie and tell
948
00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:03.559
me what other movie it kind of sounds like. So
949
00:54:03.719 --> 00:54:06.960
nineteen eighty seven Ernest Goes to Camp, starring Jim Varney
950
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:10.960
as the clumsy but good hearted, good hearted Ernest p
951
00:54:11.199 --> 00:54:17.760
Whirl who becomes a counselor at the Rundown Camp Kick
952
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:23.920
a Key, a summer camp for juvenile delinquents. While initially
953
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:28.480
being bullied by these juvenile delinquent campers, he eventually must
954
00:54:28.559 --> 00:54:33.039
lead the rebellious campers to victory against a greedy construction
955
00:54:33.239 --> 00:54:38.000
foreman who's trying to shut down the camp. Now, Tim,
956
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:42.320
do you think that Ernest goes to camp walked so
957
00:54:42.360 --> 00:54:45.639
that heavyweights could run? Sounds a lot. Sounds very similar,
958
00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:46.880
doesn't it.
959
00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:49.719
It does sound very similar. It also sounds very similar
960
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:52.760
to like all those eighties skiing movies where there's a
961
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:56.000
developer coming that's going to like change this, you know,
962
00:54:56.880 --> 00:54:59.159
change the ski to all the condos or something to
963
00:54:59.159 --> 00:55:02.360
make it high out all the ski school people can't
964
00:55:02.360 --> 00:55:03.280
afford it anymore.
965
00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:09.320
Thankfully, that doesn't happen anymore. Thankfully, rich real estate developers
966
00:55:09.840 --> 00:55:11.920
no longer come into our lives and try and ruin
967
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:13.880
it for us. I'm glad that was a trend that
968
00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:18.199
ended in the eighties. So I had to mention that
969
00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:20.280
earth just because it was nineteen eighty seven. So I
970
00:55:20.280 --> 00:55:23.280
think it was a good kind of built a good
971
00:55:23.320 --> 00:55:25.559
foundation for a lot of the movies that we would like.
972
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:28.280
And then Ernest Scared Stupid was in nineteen ninety one.
973
00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:32.159
I think I told the story during Halloween. I tried
974
00:55:32.199 --> 00:55:35.880
to show this movie to the creatures from the Lagoon.
975
00:55:36.159 --> 00:55:39.159
My ten year old daughter loved it. My eight year
976
00:55:39.159 --> 00:55:42.920
old eight year old Bye about a third of the
977
00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:46.599
way into the movie when they introduced the trolls. Again,
978
00:55:46.639 --> 00:55:50.079
this is like nineteen ninety one, so it's like practical effects.
979
00:55:50.440 --> 00:55:55.639
It's like gross, ugly looking, probably little people in troll outfits,
980
00:55:56.199 --> 00:56:00.000
and my son start My eight year old Bye starts
981
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:05.880
trying screaming, tells me you've ruined me, You've ruined You're
982
00:56:05.880 --> 00:56:08.159
going to need to give me nightmares. I'm never watching
983
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:10.639
another movie again. And I'll be damned if that boy
984
00:56:10.679 --> 00:56:13.559
hasn't really watched too many movies since Ernest scared stupid,
985
00:56:13.599 --> 00:56:17.559
So I may have completely ruined his his love of movies.
986
00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:22.280
But that's kind of my favorite. I tried telling him.
987
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:24.440
I'm like, no, I'm like, Ernest is gonna get you know.
988
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:27.079
At one point, Ernest drives over a troll and goes,
989
00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:33.400
Ernest goes, I hope you like a bumper sandwich bugger lips.
990
00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:36.360
I'm like, that's like the best thing is a kid? Like,
991
00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:41.519
how could you not like that as a kid. Okay,
992
00:56:43.760 --> 00:56:45.760
I do think we need to because we're gonna, We're
993
00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:49.119
gonna really we want to sink in and really spend
994
00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:52.519
some time with heavyweights. But I'd be remiss. Is there
995
00:56:52.599 --> 00:56:56.760
anything else on this list? The Wizard nineteen eighty six,
996
00:56:57.360 --> 00:57:00.920
a very very early video game movie with one of
997
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:01.679
the savages.
998
00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:07.760
Oh, I've seen that one of those bad.
999
00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:10.840
Ass, badass movie. There's a scene. There's a part where
1000
00:57:11.400 --> 00:57:13.320
that one of the savages, I can't remember which one
1001
00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:17.880
it is, Fred goes to try and kiss a girl.
1002
00:57:18.159 --> 00:57:20.960
I think he kisses her, but then she punches him
1003
00:57:20.960 --> 00:57:23.159
so hard that it knocks him out, and for the
1004
00:57:23.199 --> 00:57:25.719
longest time, I thought, oh shit, that's what's gonna happen
1005
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:28.199
if I ever try and kiss a girl. So thanks
1006
00:57:28.239 --> 00:57:31.079
for that. That's the wizard that was eighty six.
1007
00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:36.679
Do you no, I'll tell the Heavyweights. Let's get into
1008
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:37.199
health rates.
1009
00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:39.920
All right. Let me take a big Let me take
1010
00:57:39.960 --> 00:57:41.199
a big drink of water here.
1011
00:57:41.960 --> 00:57:43.920
All right, I'm going to bring up I'm just gonna
1012
00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:49.000
look up Heavyweights on the computer. What I have is
1013
00:57:49.400 --> 00:57:51.000
I have everything ready to rock here.
1014
00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:55.519
I have the Wikipedia. But then I also have a
1015
00:57:55.559 --> 00:57:59.480
tablet right here where I'm actually playing and watching the movie.
1016
00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:04.400
So I think what I'm going to do is do
1017
00:58:04.519 --> 00:58:09.239
a rough like walk through, not seen by scene. But
1018
00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:12.119
we're gonna start from the beginning. I'm going to try
1019
00:58:12.159 --> 00:58:14.320
and tell the tale. Tim can interrupt at any point
1020
00:58:14.320 --> 00:58:17.320
with things that I missed. We're trying cover best lines,
1021
00:58:17.400 --> 00:58:22.039
biggest questions. Go from kind of a start to finish
1022
00:58:22.039 --> 00:58:25.840
here and really give this movie some love. Tim. Do
1023
00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:30.119
you remember the badass song that opens up the movie
1024
00:58:30.159 --> 00:58:31.960
of Heavyweights? Do you want to sing it?
1025
00:58:32.679 --> 00:58:34.360
I don't remember the song? What is it?
1026
00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:39.039
People? You know big fans of Party of Five from
1027
00:58:39.039 --> 00:58:42.519
the nineties speaking of nineties mainstays, people who love Party
1028
00:58:42.519 --> 00:58:47.239
of Five might also remember the Closer to Free song
1029
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:52.719
that plays Everybody wants to Live, They want to live,
1030
00:58:53.599 --> 00:59:01.119
Everybody wants to be closer to Free. So we're introduced
1031
00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:04.000
to you remember his name right to him, last name
1032
00:59:04.000 --> 00:59:05.000
and first name? What is it?
1033
00:59:05.320 --> 00:59:08.559
Gardner, Gerald, god Na Jerald.
1034
00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:12.800
So again we're gonna try not to be little these kids.
1035
00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:15.679
But it is a movie about fat camp and fat kids.
1036
00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:18.000
I will tell you when I first tried to show
1037
00:59:18.000 --> 00:59:20.519
this movie, I think it was like during when Disney
1038
00:59:20.519 --> 00:59:24.199
Plus first popped up, popped up, so like round COVID,
1039
00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:27.119
I'm like, holy shit, they got heavyweights on here. Let's
1040
00:59:27.159 --> 00:59:30.000
let the kids watch. And within the first couple of minutes,
1041
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:35.119
Gerald says to his father, Jeffrey Tambour, you're fat. Why
1042
00:59:35.159 --> 00:59:37.519
don't you go to fat It's fat camp. Won't you
1043
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:38.599
go to fat camp.
1044
00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:39.239
Better than me?
1045
00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:43.400
Are you better than me? My partner goes, Nope, Nope,
1046
00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:46.079
we're not watching this. So we did have to more
1047
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:49.679
recently come back to it last year. But that's how
1048
00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:53.840
it opens. Jeffrey Tambour, you remember the other gentleman that's
1049
00:59:53.840 --> 00:59:56.039
pitching the camp, right, do you recognize who that was.
1050
00:59:57.840 --> 01:00:01.920
No, I'm looking at some of the other people in there. Oh, okay,
1051
01:00:02.599 --> 01:00:07.679
who it is who pitched the camp to him? Cohen Brothers, Nelson?
1052
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:12.039
There you go, it's Tim Blake Nelson. Go watch the
1053
01:00:12.199 --> 01:00:14.360
Ballad of Buster Scrugs if you want to see something
1054
01:00:14.400 --> 01:00:18.280
more recent with him. But so Jerald gets home, finds
1055
01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:21.480
out his dad, Jeffrey tam Boorr wants to send him
1056
01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:27.559
to a fat camp. Very quickly, he is basically forced
1057
01:00:27.599 --> 01:00:31.280
to do it. The bus arrives, and then who is
1058
01:00:31.280 --> 01:00:33.400
it that we meet that's driving the bus?
1059
01:00:33.639 --> 01:00:37.679
Tim is Pat driving the bus.
1060
01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:42.880
Pat gets off the bus, right, he says, Or he
1061
01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:44.880
gets on a plane first. Okay, So Jerald gets on
1062
01:00:44.880 --> 01:00:47.599
the plane and that's when he meets Keenan Thompson. That's
1063
01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:52.800
famously when he gets the the wings from the the
1064
01:00:52.840 --> 01:00:57.280
airplane captain, right, and the wings being called Captain. That's
1065
01:00:57.360 --> 01:01:01.360
going to to come up later. But Keenan, do you
1066
01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:05.840
remember how Keenan picks out uh, picks out Gerald as
1067
01:01:05.880 --> 01:01:07.639
going to the camp. Do you remember what he says?
1068
01:01:09.159 --> 01:01:10.800
I just remember he walks out to him and says,
1069
01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:11.880
going to fat camp?
1070
01:01:15.039 --> 01:01:17.880
What do you mean? How do you know because you're
1071
01:01:18.559 --> 01:01:19.320
because you're fat.
1072
01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:22.320
Okay, so I'm going to fat Camp.
1073
01:01:23.880 --> 01:01:29.119
You're fat too. Uh. So they they get there, they
1074
01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:32.000
do get on the bus. There's some ridiculous things that
1075
01:01:32.039 --> 01:01:37.480
Pat says to them about getting on the bus. And
1076
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:40.320
then when they do get to Oh, first of all,
1077
01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:43.360
don't they see one of the big kids alongside the
1078
01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:45.679
road when they're going into camp Pope, Like one of
1079
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:49.280
the kids is like standing outside waving a stick, shaking
1080
01:01:49.320 --> 01:01:49.719
his head.
1081
01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:51.760
No, no, beware.
1082
01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:58.800
So they get to they pull him. They're unloading all
1083
01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:01.519
their crap off the bus. This is when we meet
1084
01:02:02.119 --> 01:02:05.639
another of the camp counselors. Do you remember his name?
1085
01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:13.599
And Tim? Yep, they meet Tim Paul Figue who's a
1086
01:02:14.039 --> 01:02:18.360
quite famous director. Now, the Tim character, famously, we learn,
1087
01:02:19.079 --> 01:02:22.239
used to be fat, but then he got skinny. So
1088
01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:25.960
all of the kids are just taking turns making He
1089
01:02:26.079 --> 01:02:30.920
is wearing a crop top and some jean shorts some sort.
1090
01:02:33.639 --> 01:02:36.320
So I can't remember many of the insults that they
1091
01:02:36.320 --> 01:02:41.239
are giving Tim. Do any of them any come to mind?
1092
01:02:41.280 --> 01:02:43.719
Because you make fun of skinny people all the time, Tim,
1093
01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:46.159
Are there any good go tos that they don't remember?
1094
01:02:46.159 --> 01:02:48.519
The insults? I just remember His response is like, you
1095
01:02:48.559 --> 01:02:51.000
guys are just jealous of these buns of steel, and
1096
01:02:51.039 --> 01:02:53.119
you know he's kind of hamming it up.
1097
01:02:53.840 --> 01:02:59.000
He starts dancing. He starts dancing and shaking his butt.
1098
01:02:59.079 --> 01:03:03.079
We also meet who who will be the the love interest,
1099
01:03:04.519 --> 01:03:07.880
Nurse Julie. I don't know that actress's name, but I
1100
01:03:07.880 --> 01:03:09.920
don't think no offense to her. I don't think she
1101
01:03:10.039 --> 01:03:11.159
became very famous.
1102
01:03:11.519 --> 01:03:15.440
So we get Leah Laylee in a she's looking pretty
1103
01:03:15.440 --> 01:03:18.119
good in this picture for her, for.
1104
01:03:18.119 --> 01:03:24.039
You, Leah, come on the show. So everything's pretty normal.
1105
01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:29.639
They get to camp. They Pat shows him to the dorm,
1106
01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:32.920
to the cabin that they're in and what is what?
1107
01:03:32.920 --> 01:03:35.079
What cabin name do they have? Tim?
1108
01:03:35.119 --> 01:03:37.280
Do you remember the chipmunks?
1109
01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:42.400
The Chipmunks? And famously there is a scene where okay,
1110
01:03:42.440 --> 01:03:49.760
so we've we've also met Sean Weiss's character Josh, and
1111
01:03:49.800 --> 01:03:52.039
you can tell that Josh is kind of the season vet.
1112
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:54.119
You know, he's been there for a while, kind of
1113
01:03:54.159 --> 01:03:58.079
knows everything that's going on. Pats, you know, helps them
1114
01:03:58.239 --> 01:04:02.159
unload everything. Then Pat leaves and then what does Josh
1115
01:04:02.199 --> 01:04:04.880
famously say to all of the what what happens? And
1116
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:08.679
what does Josh famously say when they get into their cabin.
1117
01:04:09.480 --> 01:04:13.360
Well, Jerry comes, you know, after Roy introduces Jerry to Josh,
1118
01:04:13.440 --> 01:04:16.800
you know, kind of vouches for him. Jerry says, Hey,
1119
01:04:16.800 --> 01:04:19.280
don't tell anyone, but I snuck some oreos in and
1120
01:04:19.679 --> 01:04:22.199
Josh says, that was very sneaky of you, Jerry. And
1121
01:04:22.239 --> 01:04:26.039
then he turns and he says, chipmunks download. And you
1122
01:04:26.079 --> 01:04:29.719
just see every kid in this cabin emptying out. There's
1123
01:04:30.599 --> 01:04:33.400
backpacks and then duffel bags of just all the candy
1124
01:04:33.599 --> 01:04:38.440
and deli meats, delly meat.
1125
01:04:40.800 --> 01:04:44.159
But what would you sneak in to camp? Tim? Have
1126
01:04:44.280 --> 01:04:45.159
you thought about this?
1127
01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:52.400
You know, it's tough to say, because I think that
1128
01:04:52.480 --> 01:04:55.920
you would probably want something that you can kind of
1129
01:04:56.639 --> 01:04:58.840
it's gonna kind of last, you know, for a while.
1130
01:04:58.880 --> 01:05:01.079
So maybe like a pack of yips, you know, a
1131
01:05:01.079 --> 01:05:03.679
good bag of bag of like sour cream andig and
1132
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:06.320
chips or something I can kind of trumple up and
1133
01:05:06.400 --> 01:05:08.559
height under a pillow or something, or inside a pill I.
1134
01:05:08.559 --> 01:05:12.559
Don't think they'd get smashed. I'd be worried that they'd.
1135
01:05:12.400 --> 01:05:15.320
Get smashed in the luggage.
1136
01:05:16.599 --> 01:05:18.480
I do think we're gonna end up finding out that
1137
01:05:18.559 --> 01:05:22.159
probably the deli meats is probably the safest. It won't
1138
01:05:22.199 --> 01:05:27.079
get destroyed. They won't get destroyed. They will last a
1139
01:05:27.119 --> 01:05:30.840
long time. Lots of protein to keep you know, to
1140
01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:31.480
keep your.
1141
01:05:32.199 --> 01:05:36.239
And any of these kids are concerned about their protein. Unfortunately.
1142
01:05:37.000 --> 01:05:39.320
Well, we saw what happened when they do chocolate, because
1143
01:05:39.360 --> 01:05:42.400
what happens to Nicholas. He has the chocolate wrapped around
1144
01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:43.760
his body, but then it melted.
1145
01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:51.440
Yeah, uh yeah, we never did talk about the Hungarian
1146
01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:56.199
scene in Marty Supreme, when the Hungarian ping pong player
1147
01:05:56.239 --> 01:06:00.519
talks about when he was in a concentration camp during
1148
01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:02.719
World War two and the Nazis.
1149
01:06:02.800 --> 01:06:07.960
The Nazis made him go out and disarm bombs. And
1150
01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:12.719
when this Hungarian tennis player who was in a concentration
1151
01:06:12.880 --> 01:06:17.639
camp was out disarming bombs, he found a beehive and
1152
01:06:17.679 --> 01:06:21.480
he smoked out all the bees and then lathered himself
1153
01:06:21.639 --> 01:06:24.800
up with all the honey on his body and then
1154
01:06:24.840 --> 01:06:27.840
went back to the concentration camp so all of the
1155
01:06:27.880 --> 01:06:31.800
other Hungarian Jews that were in the concentration camp could
1156
01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:35.039
lick the honey off of his body so that they
1157
01:06:35.079 --> 01:06:38.599
could stay alive. Do you think that Safti saw this
1158
01:06:38.719 --> 01:06:42.599
scene of Nicholas in heavyweights where they licked the chocolate
1159
01:06:42.639 --> 01:06:44.840
off of them, and that was the inspiration for that
1160
01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:45.960
scene in Marty Supreme.
1161
01:06:46.800 --> 01:06:48.400
I don't see any other way that he could have
1162
01:06:48.440 --> 01:06:49.039
come up with that.
1163
01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:52.559
I agree, I agree, all right. So they download, we
1164
01:06:52.599 --> 01:06:54.760
find out that there's kind of the secret system of
1165
01:06:54.800 --> 01:06:58.920
sneaking in snacks to camp Hope here. So these kids
1166
01:06:58.920 --> 01:07:01.199
are kind of skirting the rule to get around the
1167
01:07:02.119 --> 01:07:05.679
goal of losing weight at this camp by hoarding away sweets.
1168
01:07:05.800 --> 01:07:09.760
We also see a giant trunk is moved and there's
1169
01:07:09.840 --> 01:07:14.480
a a giant, you know, secret compartment in the floor
1170
01:07:14.679 --> 01:07:17.360
where they dump all this food. All good, foreshadowing to
1171
01:07:17.400 --> 01:07:21.119
what's gonna come. Yeah, all right, then it's time to
1172
01:07:21.119 --> 01:07:26.599
meet the Bushkins. Oh, I need a drink of water.
1173
01:07:26.599 --> 01:07:28.239
Who plays the Bushkins? Tim?
1174
01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:33.079
The Bushkins are played by I believe Ben Stiller's parents, Well,
1175
01:07:33.079 --> 01:07:35.320
I know that. I think that might be his mother too.
1176
01:07:35.400 --> 01:07:39.480
I'm not not positive. Jerry Stiller, and I need to
1177
01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:42.360
I'm trying to. I'm drawn a blank on her name
1178
01:07:42.440 --> 01:07:42.840
right now.
1179
01:07:44.039 --> 01:07:51.039
Oh no, and Mirah and Mirah yep, husband Jerry Stiller
1180
01:07:52.320 --> 01:07:55.760
and you know, mother to Ben Stiller, who's going to
1181
01:07:55.800 --> 01:07:58.639
come up very soon here. So we meet the Bushkins.
1182
01:07:58.679 --> 01:08:01.800
They come in. That's how we started the show. Missus
1183
01:08:01.800 --> 01:08:04.480
Bushkin gave a hello campers, and the whole camp goes
1184
01:08:04.559 --> 01:08:07.239
hi hi hi.
1185
01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:13.920
That they are kind of underwater though, and that they
1186
01:08:13.920 --> 01:08:14.719
had to steal.
1187
01:08:15.719 --> 01:08:18.560
Yeah, very quickly, they're losing the camp, which leads to
1188
01:08:18.600 --> 01:08:25.520
the famous line as Jerry Stiller's walking off, Jerry Stiller screams,
1189
01:08:26.039 --> 01:08:32.239
never let anyone else sign you checks, which, you know, hey,
1190
01:08:33.039 --> 01:08:35.840
even look at today, our current president could even say,
1191
01:08:35.920 --> 01:08:38.680
you know, that's lessons that he wished he would have
1192
01:08:39.479 --> 01:08:41.760
listened to. So for all of our listeners, never let
1193
01:08:41.800 --> 01:08:44.000
anyone else sign your checks. So then we meet the
1194
01:08:44.039 --> 01:08:46.680
new owner. What's the name of the new owner.
1195
01:08:46.439 --> 01:08:49.560
Tim played by Ben Stiller.
1196
01:08:50.199 --> 01:08:53.760
Okay, what's his goal? What happens then? When when who
1197
01:08:53.760 --> 01:08:56.600
we learned to call Uncle Tony. What happens when he
1198
01:08:56.640 --> 01:08:59.159
shows up? Oh?
1199
01:08:59.199 --> 01:09:01.760
Well, you know it. It's quite clear that there's gonna
1200
01:09:01.760 --> 01:09:04.359
be a big change of plans. You know that Camp
1201
01:09:04.399 --> 01:09:07.159
Hope isn't going to be a fun time for the
1202
01:09:07.279 --> 01:09:11.239
heavy little children. That he's gonna really whip them in
1203
01:09:11.239 --> 01:09:13.520
the shape. They're going to eat success for breakfasts with
1204
01:09:13.560 --> 01:09:19.439
skim milk. I specifically remember that, and uh, just you know,
1205
01:09:19.720 --> 01:09:22.239
he he's serious about getting these kids in shape. He
1206
01:09:22.279 --> 01:09:24.720
says something like when he was twelve years old, he
1207
01:09:24.800 --> 01:09:27.399
weighed four hundred pounds or something like that, you know,
1208
01:09:27.520 --> 01:09:32.079
something totally unbelievable. And this is also too. You know,
1209
01:09:32.399 --> 01:09:35.079
everyone came eventually, we all came to know and love
1210
01:09:35.199 --> 01:09:37.920
Ben Siller, but early on he was playing these roles like,
1211
01:09:37.960 --> 01:09:41.359
you know, like the nurse in Happy Gillmore and you
1212
01:09:41.399 --> 01:09:43.640
know Tony Purkis and this more of like kind of
1213
01:09:43.640 --> 01:09:47.119
like his dodgeball roles with this, uh this mean kind
1214
01:09:47.159 --> 01:09:49.319
of cruel, sadistic personality, and.
1215
01:09:49.359 --> 01:09:51.640
Uh well that's why I wanted to ask, was this
1216
01:09:51.720 --> 01:09:56.800
the first because this was this movie was before Happy Gilmore.
1217
01:09:57.319 --> 01:10:00.399
Was this the first time? I know he had a show.
1218
01:10:00.439 --> 01:10:02.279
I know Ben Stilla was maybe on like some MTV
1219
01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:04.319
show before, but I feel like this was our first.
1220
01:10:05.920 --> 01:10:08.279
This was the first time we met him. In my
1221
01:10:09.119 --> 01:10:11.479
as I'm trying to think back, Yeah.
1222
01:10:11.279 --> 01:10:13.239
I would think, I would think so. He might have
1223
01:10:13.279 --> 01:10:16.119
been in movies like reality reality bites that were for
1224
01:10:16.199 --> 01:10:21.079
you know, older you know, older people were watching, But
1225
01:10:21.119 --> 01:10:22.760
for me, this would have been the first time I
1226
01:10:22.800 --> 01:10:23.520
ever saw him.
1227
01:10:24.239 --> 01:10:27.800
Okay, So, uh, the Bushkins declared bankruptcy and the camp
1228
01:10:27.840 --> 01:10:32.199
has been bought by fitness entrepreneur entrepreneur Tony Purkis Junior.
1229
01:10:32.920 --> 01:10:35.079
We do meet Tony Purkis Senior near the end of
1230
01:10:35.119 --> 01:10:40.079
this movie. Obviously Perkis wants to implement a weight loss
1231
01:10:40.119 --> 01:10:43.479
program and he's making an infomercial. We also do meet
1232
01:10:43.479 --> 01:10:44.239
his cameraman.
1233
01:10:45.279 --> 01:10:47.039
You're Ailen copt.
1234
01:10:48.920 --> 01:10:52.199
The cameraman again. We will see later on as the
1235
01:10:52.279 --> 01:10:57.479
caddie in Happy Gilmore and then famously as Grandma's Boy
1236
01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:00.439
in Grandma's Boy. Do you think that that's going to
1237
01:11:00.479 --> 01:11:03.000
be the next text we get from Skate at some point?
1238
01:11:03.319 --> 01:11:04.279
Do Grandma's Boy?
1239
01:11:05.479 --> 01:11:07.840
I would welcome that we haven't already gotten it, to
1240
01:11:07.880 --> 01:11:08.640
be honest with you.
1241
01:11:09.079 --> 01:11:13.439
Okay, So Tony comes in. Purkis comes in, starts getting
1242
01:11:13.520 --> 01:11:15.760
rid of all of the kind of beloved camp you
1243
01:11:15.760 --> 01:11:19.439
know activities. He scraps the go carts. We learned that
1244
01:11:20.239 --> 01:11:23.000
Gardner Gerald was very excited to ride the go carts.
1245
01:11:24.560 --> 01:11:27.319
They had something called the blob out on the lake
1246
01:11:27.520 --> 01:11:29.520
where we see, you know, one kid sits at the
1247
01:11:29.600 --> 01:11:32.399
end of the blob, then another kid jumps on it
1248
01:11:32.439 --> 01:11:36.239
and it launches the first kid into the water. We
1249
01:11:36.279 --> 01:11:39.479
see the death of the blob, and that was performed
1250
01:11:39.520 --> 01:11:42.520
by a new counselor that we meet who will be
1251
01:11:42.560 --> 01:11:47.560
heading up the Chipmunk cabin. Tim please tell the listeners
1252
01:11:48.119 --> 01:11:49.920
what the name of this counselor is.
1253
01:11:51.560 --> 01:11:54.319
The new Counselor's name is Lars, and he is all
1254
01:11:54.359 --> 01:11:57.039
in on the Tony Purkis Purkis system. You know, he's
1255
01:11:57.079 --> 01:12:00.000
gonna be Tony's right hand man when it comes to
1256
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:01.760
the counselors and the staff.
1257
01:12:02.920 --> 01:12:08.239
He uh, he famously said, and I am Lars. That's
1258
01:12:08.279 --> 01:12:08.680
what I think.
1259
01:12:09.520 --> 01:12:12.880
Make the very disturbing sounds. I sleep, I'm happy, frightened.
1260
01:12:15.920 --> 01:12:17.680
I've forgotten about Lars.
1261
01:12:17.800 --> 01:12:19.800
Lars is so funny of this movie.
1262
01:12:20.600 --> 01:12:25.399
Speaking of Troy, if anyone's ever heard his dad snore,
1263
01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:31.640
very similar to the sound that Lars makes when he snores. So, uh.
1264
01:12:32.159 --> 01:12:39.720
They they killed the blob, they start implementing new exercises.
1265
01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:41.399
I'm gonna kind of move fast. I know, I'm gonna
1266
01:12:41.439 --> 01:12:44.960
forget some things. Do they try and do meditation. There's
1267
01:12:44.960 --> 01:12:47.439
something that comes over the loud speakers that is like
1268
01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:52.439
this new age music, and then isn't it Tony saying
1269
01:12:52.479 --> 01:12:53.560
good morning campers.
1270
01:12:54.560 --> 01:13:01.279
Oh yeah, what is he said? Oh no, I'm dead.
1271
01:13:03.960 --> 01:13:06.399
What does Tony get rid of due to lack of hustle?
1272
01:13:06.520 --> 01:13:07.399
He announces that.
1273
01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:10.439
Just one day he canceled lunch will be canceled the
1274
01:13:10.520 --> 01:13:11.239
lack of hustle.
1275
01:13:12.119 --> 01:13:15.079
Do lack of hustle? Okay, I'm trying to do this
1276
01:13:15.119 --> 01:13:19.600
without laughing so hard, so they gosh, I know, I'm
1277
01:13:19.600 --> 01:13:20.239
gonna miss some things.
1278
01:13:20.239 --> 01:13:23.079
Eventually, there's we're finding out all of these new, terrible
1279
01:13:23.119 --> 01:13:25.840
new policies. Because Gerald Gardner is writing a letter to
1280
01:13:25.840 --> 01:13:29.600
his grandma. People don't really understand, you know. They're like, well,
1281
01:13:29.640 --> 01:13:31.239
we sent him there to be lose weight.
1282
01:13:33.279 --> 01:13:36.560
Jeffrey Tambour famously says, we did not send you to
1283
01:13:36.720 --> 01:13:44.159
go kart camp because he's trying to complain. Yeah, because
1284
01:13:44.159 --> 01:13:46.079
they get rid of the go carts at some point
1285
01:13:46.079 --> 01:13:48.600
they have. So we learned that there's another camp across
1286
01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:52.960
the water called Camp MVP that is kind of made
1287
01:13:53.000 --> 01:13:58.119
up of more more athletic, kind of over competitive. I'm
1288
01:13:58.159 --> 01:14:01.039
just gonna come out and say it, like skip skinnier kids,
1289
01:14:01.960 --> 01:14:06.760
It's called Camp MVP. They set up a softball game
1290
01:14:07.359 --> 01:14:11.920
against Camp MVP. You know a number of you know,
1291
01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:14.479
funny things happened at the softball camp. It is around
1292
01:14:14.520 --> 01:14:18.199
the softball camp time though, that we learned that Pat,
1293
01:14:18.239 --> 01:14:22.319
the counselor, has basically just been relegated to like janitorial duties.
1294
01:14:22.880 --> 01:14:27.880
And there is a part where Perkis gets on the
1295
01:14:27.880 --> 01:14:32.399
loud speaker and goes, Pat, please report to the boys bathroom,
1296
01:14:33.039 --> 01:14:38.279
bring a mop and a plunger. I've used that line
1297
01:14:38.479 --> 01:14:41.800
oh a billion times over the course of my life
1298
01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:44.239
after leaving a bathroom and I would say to someone,
1299
01:14:44.600 --> 01:14:49.560
bring a mop and a plunger. Softball game goes bad.
1300
01:14:49.640 --> 01:14:53.199
Is there anything else you remember from the softball game?
1301
01:14:55.119 --> 01:14:57.079
I can't remember if this is before or after the
1302
01:14:57.119 --> 01:15:00.720
softball game. There's also a girl. Basically what Tony is
1303
01:15:00.720 --> 01:15:02.920
trying to do. After a while, when it's clear that
1304
01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:05.560
he's not reaching these kids, and we understand he's not
1305
01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:08.079
reaching these kids when there's a famous scene where they're
1306
01:15:08.079 --> 01:15:12.399
all weigh in and going into the way in going
1307
01:15:12.479 --> 01:15:15.399
unto the way, and I think Tony is quite enthusiastic
1308
01:15:15.479 --> 01:15:18.119
that Hey got these kids working out, Maybe they're not
1309
01:15:18.119 --> 01:15:22.439
going to be losing some weight, and uh, you know,
1310
01:15:22.479 --> 01:15:28.039
we find out Gerald gardner age whatever. Wait you know Jerald, Yeah,
1311
01:15:28.279 --> 01:15:30.560
and you know, well he gained two pounds. You know,
1312
01:15:30.880 --> 01:15:33.319
muscle weighs more than fat, but clear, you know. And
1313
01:15:33.359 --> 01:15:37.439
at one point he sells, uh, I believe Josh, step
1314
01:15:37.479 --> 01:15:41.119
on the scale, step off the scale. You know, it's
1315
01:15:41.119 --> 01:15:42.199
just gets on the scale.
1316
01:15:42.439 --> 01:15:46.079
The scale immediately flips down over I think the two hundred.
1317
01:15:46.359 --> 01:15:49.960
Get on the scale. Well he stops the infomercial to
1318
01:15:50.079 --> 01:15:52.199
like chew them all out, and he goes, okay, start
1319
01:15:52.239 --> 01:15:54.720
it back up, and he gives Josh a high five
1320
01:15:54.760 --> 01:15:57.239
and get on the scale, gets on the scale, get
1321
01:15:57.239 --> 01:15:59.800
off the scale. That's when he really loses you, right,
1322
01:15:59.800 --> 01:16:04.560
I forget where about that pops up? Well? I think
1323
01:16:04.600 --> 01:16:07.560
before that, okay, let's try and get this straight. And
1324
01:16:07.600 --> 01:16:09.119
I could look it up in front of me, but
1325
01:16:09.159 --> 01:16:11.439
you and I should be able to do this. Does
1326
01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:17.680
Josh disappear before the girls dance? Because what happens is
1327
01:16:18.319 --> 01:16:24.000
Tony so Purkis and Lars storm into the chipmunks. Okay,
1328
01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:26.159
that's probably what it is. So they're all overweight, they're
1329
01:16:26.199 --> 01:16:29.039
still gaining weight, and is that when they stormy.
1330
01:16:29.319 --> 01:16:32.319
Like something's going on somehow these kids are cheating. Let's
1331
01:16:32.359 --> 01:16:35.439
go raid their raid their cabin and uh, that's when
1332
01:16:35.439 --> 01:16:38.199
they find all this the hidden snacks and treats. There's
1333
01:16:38.239 --> 01:16:41.000
a great moment where he's like going through the hollow
1334
01:16:41.079 --> 01:16:44.520
bedpost and that's when he finds all the salami. Sam's oh,
1335
01:16:44.520 --> 01:16:46.680
look a deli meat. He's like hitting it and he's
1336
01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:49.439
got like the light and stuff like that.
1337
01:16:51.079 --> 01:16:54.560
Look, you mentioned something. We we we oh a deli meat.
1338
01:16:54.640 --> 01:16:58.000
Sorry I stepped on it. We should uh talk about
1339
01:16:58.039 --> 01:17:01.319
some of the campers because you mentioned salami Sam.
1340
01:17:01.439 --> 01:17:02.399
Yes, we have.
1341
01:17:02.800 --> 01:17:05.880
Uh. I'm gonna just read some of the character names
1342
01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:08.960
because this might jog some of our memories. So again Pat,
1343
01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:19.199
Pat Finley, Josh Lars, Keenan Thompson plays Roy uh where.
1344
01:17:19.319 --> 01:17:22.119
So there's there's Sims. There's Michael Simms. I think he's
1345
01:17:22.159 --> 01:17:22.840
the big guy.
1346
01:17:23.600 --> 01:17:27.800
Simms Is famously said congratulations, you're the fattest kid at
1347
01:17:27.800 --> 01:17:30.800
camp during the waves and everyone cheers for him.
1348
01:17:33.199 --> 01:17:36.239
There's Cody who has like the glasses. At one point,
1349
01:17:36.319 --> 01:17:38.319
Cody goes, we don't want to do this, we want
1350
01:17:38.359 --> 01:17:41.520
to have fun. That's near the end. We'll get to
1351
01:17:41.560 --> 01:17:46.079
that salami Sam, my personal favorite. Just kind of throwing
1352
01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:50.640
that out there. So Salami Sam. So all these kids
1353
01:17:50.680 --> 01:17:53.479
kind of get shook down in their in their camp
1354
01:17:53.680 --> 01:17:56.479
and Purkis finds all there. There's a there's a character
1355
01:17:57.119 --> 01:17:59.439
who was at the camp, went to the camp last year,
1356
01:17:59.760 --> 01:18:02.239
but he's now part of Perkos's system where he's like
1357
01:18:02.359 --> 01:18:04.560
I was a chipmunk last year, let me show you.
1358
01:18:04.600 --> 01:18:08.760
And he's the one that kind of divulges where their
1359
01:18:08.800 --> 01:18:12.479
big kind of hiding spots.
1360
01:18:11.960 --> 01:18:12.640
Of food is.
1361
01:18:13.119 --> 01:18:15.640
But it's right around this time though, that doesn't Josh
1362
01:18:15.680 --> 01:18:21.319
pull the the Seymour butts the Seymour butts joke on
1363
01:18:21.520 --> 01:18:24.760
Ben Stiller on purpose, and that's what gets him kicked out.
1364
01:18:26.159 --> 01:18:28.039
No, he doesn't get kicked out I think until after
1365
01:18:28.079 --> 01:18:29.920
the hike, right is when.
1366
01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:33.520
No, he gets kicked out, but then he comes back,
1367
01:18:34.359 --> 01:18:38.159
because it's when he comes back that he says, you know, hey, Basically,
1368
01:18:38.159 --> 01:18:40.760
my dad's lawyer got a hold of Tony and said,
1369
01:18:41.039 --> 01:18:43.199
either you give me a refund or send me back.
1370
01:18:43.600 --> 01:18:47.680
And we find out that Josh has been was just
1371
01:18:47.720 --> 01:18:49.800
pigging out while he was gone. And that's the famous
1372
01:18:49.840 --> 01:18:53.760
Lineman closed the place where he went to the sizzler
1373
01:18:53.800 --> 01:18:59.359
and closed the place. So there's you. You mentioned it.
1374
01:18:59.439 --> 01:19:06.680
Tony plans a dance with the camp Magnolia. I didn't
1375
01:19:06.720 --> 01:19:08.560
know that from the movie. It's just from reading it up.
1376
01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:11.279
Uh so dance when we kind of zoom out. What
1377
01:19:11.319 --> 01:19:14.159
we have here is a huge area where there's just
1378
01:19:14.359 --> 01:19:16.399
summer camps glore. You got the fat camp, you got
1379
01:19:16.399 --> 01:19:18.600
the sports camp, you got the girls camp. They're all
1380
01:19:18.680 --> 01:19:20.800
kind of maybe around the same lake or something or
1381
01:19:20.840 --> 01:19:25.520
same river, all nearby. He plans the dance with the
1382
01:19:25.560 --> 01:19:29.359
girls camp, thinking these kids are gonna be so embarrassed,
1383
01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:31.279
you know these girls and are not gonna want to
1384
01:19:31.319 --> 01:19:33.399
talk to them. I'm not gonna look at them. It's
1385
01:19:33.399 --> 01:19:35.720
gonna be very embarrassing. And at the beginning it is,
1386
01:19:35.800 --> 01:19:39.119
it's very like, boy, the boys are over there, the
1387
01:19:39.119 --> 01:19:43.800
girls are over there. You know, Lars is dj in.
1388
01:19:43.880 --> 01:19:46.199
He's trying to get the party started. Is Lars dj in?
1389
01:19:46.600 --> 01:19:49.640
I feel like it's Lars and then that other kid
1390
01:19:49.720 --> 01:19:52.760
that divulged where like the hiding.
1391
01:19:52.520 --> 01:19:56.479
Spot and the laky haired kid Butch from home Loan
1392
01:19:56.520 --> 01:19:57.399
for some reason.
1393
01:19:57.640 --> 01:20:01.399
And past tim are trying to this is my move
1394
01:20:01.600 --> 01:20:04.239
at like weddings or if ever I go someplace and
1395
01:20:04.239 --> 01:20:08.439
there's dancing required. Basically I dance the way Tim and
1396
01:20:08.600 --> 01:20:10.880
Pat dance. When they go out to try and get
1397
01:20:10.920 --> 01:20:15.479
everyone excited, Lars famously starts playing love machine. I'm just
1398
01:20:15.560 --> 01:20:19.319
a love machine. Bo't work, oh nobody.
1399
01:20:19.479 --> 01:20:24.279
But you heard Tim snaps. I think Phillip, says Philip,
1400
01:20:24.319 --> 01:20:27.760
one of the kind of smart fat kids, Philip and Nicholas,
1401
01:20:27.800 --> 01:20:31.520
you know, the proper fatties. Uh something like I think
1402
01:20:31.560 --> 01:20:34.359
he blew a major milt or he's just like blew
1403
01:20:34.399 --> 01:20:37.319
a major circuit or something. Tim goes out there. Pat's like,
1404
01:20:37.439 --> 01:20:39.199
oh god, I can't let him be out there dying
1405
01:20:39.199 --> 01:20:41.880
on the dance floor alone. That goes out there doing
1406
01:20:41.920 --> 01:20:45.159
you know, his moves. Then Nurse Julie's like, you know what,
1407
01:20:45.479 --> 01:20:47.880
maybe this will get the girls out there. Next thing,
1408
01:20:47.920 --> 01:20:50.000
you know, uh, you know, they get all the kids
1409
01:20:50.000 --> 01:20:51.920
out there, All the campers are out there, the boys
1410
01:20:51.960 --> 01:20:55.039
and girls are mingling and dancing. Everything's fun, everything's great.
1411
01:20:55.479 --> 01:20:58.960
Lars is just going ape shit at the DJ dance.
1412
01:20:59.399 --> 01:21:01.520
It's a real party. And then what does Tony do.
1413
01:21:02.760 --> 01:21:06.000
Uncle Tony do shuts the whole thing down.
1414
01:21:07.520 --> 01:21:09.680
That's the whole thing down. And I think maybe he
1415
01:21:09.720 --> 01:21:11.840
says they need to get to bed, they need to
1416
01:21:11.840 --> 01:21:13.640
get some restpers a hike the next day.
1417
01:21:13.760 --> 01:21:17.079
Maybe I don't know if that's yet. I think he
1418
01:21:17.279 --> 01:21:19.520
definitely like throws cold water on the whole thing because
1419
01:21:19.520 --> 01:21:23.520
his plan is falling apart. So he's shipping the girls off,
1420
01:21:23.560 --> 01:21:27.159
telling the boys all right, it's over with And then something,
1421
01:21:27.199 --> 01:21:30.119
for some stupid reason that's always stuck with me is
1422
01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:33.560
he tells everyone, let's get all this cleaned up. The
1423
01:21:33.600 --> 01:21:36.319
bugs are coming out, so the bugs will be out tonight.
1424
01:21:37.800 --> 01:21:40.359
And this is when we see mac Daddy Salami Sam.
1425
01:21:40.399 --> 01:21:42.520
You know, he's been dancing with the hottest girl there
1426
01:21:42.680 --> 01:21:45.359
camp and it's a nice big kiss from her before.
1427
01:21:45.920 --> 01:21:49.680
Making out before they leave. So uh, a good a
1428
01:21:49.720 --> 01:21:53.600
good boost to the morale of the boys that they
1429
01:21:53.640 --> 01:21:56.960
could kind of overcome this challenge, you know, with the
1430
01:21:56.960 --> 01:22:01.039
help of Pat and Tim and Nurse Julie. So it's
1431
01:22:01.159 --> 01:22:04.359
right after this, Wikipedia is telling me that Josh returns.
1432
01:22:04.880 --> 01:22:08.000
So he was he got he got the boot for
1433
01:22:08.199 --> 01:22:11.399
the Seymour Butts joke that he got Tony Purkis to
1434
01:22:11.479 --> 01:22:16.239
fall for. But Josh famously comes back pretending like his
1435
01:22:16.479 --> 01:22:25.720
like he's had a lobotomy or he's like Josh Josh,
1436
01:22:26.079 --> 01:22:28.439
So he comes back. They're like, what happened? Or no?
1437
01:22:28.560 --> 01:22:31.039
He says, good to see you. He makes some joke
1438
01:22:31.079 --> 01:22:32.880
where you can tell they cut out a swear word
1439
01:22:33.079 --> 01:22:38.600
and like they like dub his voice. Yeah, Josh comes back,
1440
01:22:38.720 --> 01:22:41.399
says basically, his father's lawyer threatened to sue Tony for
1441
01:22:41.479 --> 01:22:44.840
kicking him out, so he's back. So at this point,
1442
01:22:44.880 --> 01:22:47.119
now they're all the kids are all starting to try
1443
01:22:47.159 --> 01:22:50.359
to formulate plans on what to deal with Tony. And
1444
01:22:50.359 --> 01:22:54.079
it's at this point they Jerry and a bunch of
1445
01:22:54.119 --> 01:22:58.560
them devise a plan to sneak into Tony's office to
1446
01:22:58.640 --> 01:23:02.279
both find their confiscated snacks and to try and find
1447
01:23:02.279 --> 01:23:05.479
any evidence that Tony is like abusing them or what
1448
01:23:05.520 --> 01:23:09.760
Tony purkis is doing is wrong. And so as they're
1449
01:23:09.760 --> 01:23:14.760
breaking in to Tony's office, they do it while Tony
1450
01:23:14.880 --> 01:23:17.640
is out on a run, which led to, you know,
1451
01:23:18.039 --> 01:23:22.359
one of my favorite moments. Tony's jogging. First of all,
1452
01:23:22.399 --> 01:23:27.079
he jogs past Pat and he goes you dog. He
1453
01:23:27.119 --> 01:23:30.560
goes you dogging it? Pat, you're dogging it. I'm dogging it, Pat,
1454
01:23:30.840 --> 01:23:33.760
I'm dogging it. And then he runs he runs past
1455
01:23:33.760 --> 01:23:36.840
a big log, runs past the log. Then comes back,
1456
01:23:36.920 --> 01:23:39.479
picks the log up over his head and goes, come here,
1457
01:23:39.600 --> 01:23:44.239
you devil alog and then starts running with the log
1458
01:23:44.279 --> 01:23:47.960
over his head. But so all the boys break into
1459
01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:51.399
Tony's office. They find that all of their letters that
1460
01:23:51.439 --> 01:23:54.960
they've been writing to their families have not been sent.
1461
01:23:55.479 --> 01:23:59.399
They're all just sitting there in Tony's office. They do
1462
01:23:59.520 --> 01:24:06.279
discover the food stash and oh the way, so they
1463
01:24:06.720 --> 01:24:08.319
I can't remember what else they find in the office.
1464
01:24:08.319 --> 01:24:10.800
But as they're trying to so Tony comes back as
1465
01:24:10.800 --> 01:24:13.159
they're trying to get out of the office. It led
1466
01:24:13.199 --> 01:24:16.720
to my children's favorite part in the movie, and that's
1467
01:24:16.760 --> 01:24:19.560
when they're trying to squeeze Nicholas through the window and
1468
01:24:19.640 --> 01:24:22.760
Nicholas rips a huge fart right in the face of
1469
01:24:22.880 --> 01:24:27.319
Jerry and a couple of the windows. Never forget how
1470
01:24:27.520 --> 01:24:31.119
how a good fart jog will land with kids in
1471
01:24:31.199 --> 01:24:37.000
a kids movie. But so they get out, they escape Tony.
1472
01:24:37.439 --> 01:24:40.560
They're all breathing heavy from almost getting caught there by
1473
01:24:40.800 --> 01:24:43.479
the porta potties or by the bathrooms. And what do
1474
01:24:43.560 --> 01:24:45.359
they hear, tim.
1475
01:24:45.119 --> 01:24:47.760
They can hear a food rapper crinkling, you know, like
1476
01:24:47.800 --> 01:24:50.680
the McDonald's burger wrapper crinkling.
1477
01:24:52.000 --> 01:24:54.000
And so who do they stumble on? Who is it
1478
01:24:54.039 --> 01:25:00.279
that's hiding in the bathrooms? Filla, he's got Candi, Where
1479
01:25:00.319 --> 01:25:02.800
did you get that? And they shake him down and
1480
01:25:02.840 --> 01:25:05.840
we we get a wonderful montage to the song I
1481
01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:09.800
Want Candy, where we find out that the one kid
1482
01:25:09.800 --> 01:25:13.319
that originally betrayed them, who's on Tony's team, has been
1483
01:25:13.399 --> 01:25:17.840
smuggling food to a tree stump, and we see the
1484
01:25:17.920 --> 01:25:20.319
kids going back and forth and get there.
1485
01:25:21.279 --> 01:25:23.920
Yes, he betrayed them because he had a little side business.
1486
01:25:24.000 --> 01:25:27.279
He wanted to get going where he knew that they
1487
01:25:27.279 --> 01:25:29.159
were going to smuggle food in, so he figured, well,
1488
01:25:29.520 --> 01:25:31.680
if I rat them out for that, then I can
1489
01:25:31.760 --> 01:25:33.520
kind of corner the market. And he's probably you know,
1490
01:25:33.600 --> 01:25:36.560
bringing them a McDonald's cheeseburger, which at the time I think,
1491
01:25:36.600 --> 01:25:40.399
you know, they had like that for fifty nine cent cheeseburger,
1492
01:25:40.920 --> 01:25:43.720
a hamburger and cheeseburger deal. So he's probably charging them
1493
01:25:44.079 --> 01:25:46.000
an arm and a leg to get that food smuggled
1494
01:25:46.000 --> 01:25:49.319
in there. It's a good good move on his his uh,
1495
01:25:49.800 --> 01:25:50.880
on his behalf, you.
1496
01:25:50.800 --> 01:25:54.159
Know, yep. So, and I think we we screwed up
1497
01:25:54.159 --> 01:25:55.840
a little bit because I think it's at this point,
1498
01:25:55.920 --> 01:25:58.640
after they eat all these snacks, that's when there's the
1499
01:25:58.680 --> 01:26:02.920
way in that Tony loses his mind because now even
1500
01:26:02.960 --> 01:26:05.439
though Tony had already gotten rid of all the snacks,
1501
01:26:05.800 --> 01:26:10.560
they're still gaining weight. And that's when Tony announces anyone
1502
01:26:10.600 --> 01:26:14.399
that didn't make their their weight goal is going to
1503
01:26:14.399 --> 01:26:16.439
go with Tony on a twenty mile hike.
1504
01:26:16.840 --> 01:26:20.279
Yeah, middle of summer.
1505
01:26:21.840 --> 01:26:25.800
Tim, I on a good day will take a two
1506
01:26:25.920 --> 01:26:30.399
mile walk, So it's safe to say that this twenty
1507
01:26:30.399 --> 01:26:33.720
mile hike would kill you or I maybe not. You're
1508
01:26:33.840 --> 01:26:36.159
you're in better shape than I am. But so Tony
1509
01:26:36.199 --> 01:26:39.600
forces the boys on a twenty mile hike, it would
1510
01:26:39.600 --> 01:26:44.439
have At this point, you know, counselors like Tim and
1511
01:26:44.520 --> 01:26:47.279
Pat and Nurse Julie they're left behind and they're like,
1512
01:26:48.039 --> 01:26:49.720
we got to bring an end to this, like this
1513
01:26:49.840 --> 01:26:52.319
is crazy, Like this isn't safe, you know for these boys.
1514
01:26:52.359 --> 01:26:55.359
We got to figure something out. That's when the cameraman
1515
01:26:55.479 --> 01:26:58.840
goes walking by in some of the best acting that
1516
01:26:58.880 --> 01:27:01.720
I've ever seen out of this actor. Have you seen
1517
01:27:01.800 --> 01:27:04.920
Tony that man, oh's me one hundred bucks?
1518
01:27:05.039 --> 01:27:07.159
Or he just says something right.
1519
01:27:07.279 --> 01:27:11.840
Stupid and they realized that the cameraman has all kinds
1520
01:27:11.880 --> 01:27:16.600
of footage of Tony. You know what Tony's been doing
1521
01:27:16.680 --> 01:27:19.600
to the kids. Yep, So they start doing that to
1522
01:27:19.640 --> 01:27:22.119
try and get Tony out from their end. But once
1523
01:27:22.159 --> 01:27:24.720
you know it that our characters are our main characters,
1524
01:27:24.720 --> 01:27:29.239
these guys have another plan. And now I can't remember
1525
01:27:29.279 --> 01:27:31.880
if they had this plan going into the twenty mile hike,
1526
01:27:32.720 --> 01:27:38.239
but basically halfway through the hike, Tony announces to the kids,
1527
01:27:38.920 --> 01:27:41.439
do you see that mountain over there? We're going to
1528
01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:45.399
go like scale that mountain, and basically Tony's starting to
1529
01:27:45.439 --> 01:27:48.239
lose it. Tony Perks is starting to lose it. He
1530
01:27:48.319 --> 01:27:51.479
runs and jumps out on this huge branch that's hanging
1531
01:27:51.560 --> 01:27:56.920
over kind of this mountaintop, this precipice, and in my
1532
01:27:57.039 --> 01:28:00.880
favorite part of the movie, he's hanging from the limb
1533
01:28:01.359 --> 01:28:04.840
and he says, why don't you come join me? Sam,
1534
01:28:05.720 --> 01:28:07.960
and it cuts to Salami Sam in one of the
1535
01:28:07.960 --> 01:28:11.560
best line readings ever, and Salami Sam goes, oh yeah, mom,
1536
01:28:11.560 --> 01:28:14.920
my way and then makes a face like there's no way.
1537
01:28:14.960 --> 01:28:18.079
He's on his way. I have recorded this scene on
1538
01:28:18.119 --> 01:28:21.000
my phone. I can't tell you how many times. If
1539
01:28:21.039 --> 01:28:23.960
my partner is like, Hey, can you come up here
1540
01:28:24.159 --> 01:28:26.720
and help me with this laundry. Hey, these kids aren't listening. Hey,
1541
01:28:26.800 --> 01:28:28.920
I need your help. And I will just send her
1542
01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:32.279
the video of Salami Sam going oh yeah, mo, my way,
1543
01:28:33.600 --> 01:28:36.840
and then I'll never go there. Salami Sam also famously
1544
01:28:36.880 --> 01:28:40.159
early on in the movie, announces his nickname and says,
1545
01:28:41.119 --> 01:28:43.680
who's ready for the Salami Slam and then does a
1546
01:28:43.680 --> 01:28:47.000
belly flop into the water. We missed that part.
1547
01:28:47.439 --> 01:28:49.640
Yeah, we didn't even touch about the whole the watered
1548
01:28:49.680 --> 01:28:54.239
thing with the buddy system and how Josh.
1549
01:28:53.800 --> 01:28:54.840
Tell us about that, tim.
1550
01:28:54.920 --> 01:28:57.880
Yeah, it's a very quick scene. So they're all swimming
1551
01:28:58.399 --> 01:29:01.960
and uh, you know, large, we're gonna we're gonna do
1552
01:29:01.960 --> 01:29:05.039
the nurse Julie because Lars doesn't paying attention to the kids,
1553
01:29:05.039 --> 01:29:07.920
and he tells Nurse Julie, Oh, don't worry, I have
1554
01:29:07.960 --> 01:29:10.880
the buddy system. But it sounds like body the body system,
1555
01:29:11.359 --> 01:29:15.000
the body system, and then he blows his whistle. Buddy
1556
01:29:15.159 --> 01:29:16.640
and the kids, you know, they all go to their
1557
01:29:16.640 --> 01:29:19.039
buddy to make sure everyone say okay, except of course,
1558
01:29:19.159 --> 01:29:21.760
my boy Josh, sitting on the dock in his shade,
1559
01:29:22.079 --> 01:29:23.079
just raises his one hand.
1560
01:29:23.079 --> 01:29:27.039
I always love it, buddy, just almost hand up.
1561
01:29:27.479 --> 01:29:29.560
Even Lars kind of had to give Josh a little
1562
01:29:29.560 --> 01:29:32.159
bit of you know, respect, like, well, he's just gonna
1563
01:29:32.159 --> 01:29:34.520
be sitting on the dock sunbathing, you know, we'll let
1564
01:29:34.600 --> 01:29:36.439
him get away with things. He's a little bit, you know,
1565
01:29:36.760 --> 01:29:38.399
cooler than everybody else.
1566
01:29:39.239 --> 01:29:41.560
And it's Josh that gets him. So they're up there,
1567
01:29:41.800 --> 01:29:44.119
they decide they have to do something about this hike.
1568
01:29:44.680 --> 01:29:47.399
And I can't remember exactly how they trick him into it. Oh,
1569
01:29:47.880 --> 01:29:52.680
they tell Tony there. The kids all start arguing and
1570
01:29:52.720 --> 01:29:54.720
one of them says, you know, Josh says, you can't
1571
01:29:54.720 --> 01:30:00.479
do a sit up with your eyes closed, right. Ben
1572
01:30:00.560 --> 01:30:05.479
still is like, oh, there's many He says something about
1573
01:30:05.520 --> 01:30:09.159
there's many myths to the abdominal, about the abdominal system,
1574
01:30:09.319 --> 01:30:11.319
and he's happy to put this one to rest.
1575
01:30:12.720 --> 01:30:16.560
Ben Stiller's line deliveries in this movie are just pard
1576
01:30:17.560 --> 01:30:18.159
so good.
1577
01:30:19.680 --> 01:30:22.840
So Ben Stiller gets on gets on the ground to
1578
01:30:22.920 --> 01:30:25.960
do a sit up with his eyes closed, and while
1579
01:30:26.000 --> 01:30:29.800
they're doing that, Josh stands over him, pulls his pants down,
1580
01:30:30.159 --> 01:30:33.800
puts his ass right in Tony Purkis's face. So when
1581
01:30:33.800 --> 01:30:37.000
Tony sits up right away. He's looking what is the
1582
01:30:37.039 --> 01:30:40.920
line that Josh says, I tried looking this up before before.
1583
01:30:42.159 --> 01:30:44.319
Oh you like the view, Tony or something like that.
1584
01:30:44.680 --> 01:30:49.039
I think Bencher says, Oh my god, and he doesn't.
1585
01:30:52.279 --> 01:30:57.479
He like karate chops him. He karate chops him, like
1586
01:30:57.560 --> 01:31:02.720
right below his ass cheeks. Josh falls over. Kudos to
1587
01:31:02.800 --> 01:31:04.880
Josh for pulling his pants up in the process of
1588
01:31:04.920 --> 01:31:09.560
falling over, but yeah, Tony like karate chops him. Josh
1589
01:31:09.600 --> 01:31:14.079
takes off running. What we realize is that the kids
1590
01:31:14.079 --> 01:31:17.640
had set up this trap, so Tony's chasing after Josh.
1591
01:31:17.720 --> 01:31:21.359
It ends up falling down into this into this pit.
1592
01:31:23.359 --> 01:31:29.720
So they locked Tony up. So Tim Patt and Julie,
1593
01:31:29.760 --> 01:31:32.439
you know, they're doing their own things. Suddenly Gerald shows
1594
01:31:32.479 --> 01:31:34.640
back up at camp like breathing hard, and they're like,
1595
01:31:34.640 --> 01:31:37.640
oh my god, what happened? Like come on, we have
1596
01:31:37.720 --> 01:31:40.439
to show you now. Tim. I don't know about you
1597
01:31:40.479 --> 01:31:43.520
and your kids, but if my kids and I ever
1598
01:31:43.600 --> 01:31:47.520
have to set up a password, we've established the one
1599
01:31:47.520 --> 01:31:51.239
and only password that we use, and it's from this movie.
1600
01:31:51.279 --> 01:31:53.119
The kids have set up a password to come in
1601
01:31:53.920 --> 01:31:55.840
to see where they're hiding. Tony, do you remember the
1602
01:31:55.840 --> 01:32:02.239
password Yankee doodles. That's correct. So they've got Tony hooked
1603
01:32:02.319 --> 01:32:10.000
up to a bug zapper. Yeah, in this cell. This
1604
01:32:10.079 --> 01:32:11.840
is where it kind of it's like, oh God, like,
1605
01:32:11.840 --> 01:32:13.840
are they gonna like kill Tony? At this point, if
1606
01:32:13.840 --> 01:32:15.680
you're first watching it, you're like, oh man, this might
1607
01:32:15.760 --> 01:32:19.199
like get really crazy. But so they got Tony locked
1608
01:32:19.279 --> 01:32:23.359
up and the campers kind of take back control of
1609
01:32:23.479 --> 01:32:27.399
camp hope. Do you speaking of honey, do you remember
1610
01:32:27.399 --> 01:32:28.920
what they do to Lars?
1611
01:32:29.359 --> 01:32:31.680
Oh? Yeah, they duct tape him to a tree and
1612
01:32:31.720 --> 01:32:34.319
spread honey on his chest and they, you know, they
1613
01:32:34.359 --> 01:32:37.560
let him know like the bears love the honey or whatever.
1614
01:32:37.800 --> 01:32:40.920
So he's, you know, haird shitless. And then they're gonna
1615
01:32:40.920 --> 01:32:46.600
go have just the biggest, grandest ketonistic feast you've ever
1616
01:32:46.640 --> 01:32:47.520
seen on camera.
1617
01:32:48.119 --> 01:32:50.439
They binge, they binge. I always I get a kick
1618
01:32:50.479 --> 01:32:55.199
out of when they rip Lars's shirt and he goes, oh,
1619
01:32:55.279 --> 01:32:59.279
he kind of gives us. When they rip his shirt
1620
01:32:59.279 --> 01:33:02.359
and put honey out, he says, some figure, I love you.
1621
01:33:02.520 --> 01:33:04.399
They're like, are you with us? Because eventually they on
1622
01:33:04.560 --> 01:33:06.600
ty Lars and he joins in right.
1623
01:33:09.159 --> 01:33:11.119
The hedonism, I love you.
1624
01:33:11.359 --> 01:33:13.359
So they have a big Binge. They have this like
1625
01:33:13.439 --> 01:33:20.520
big big binge eating bonfire. Oh they boy, doesn't this
1626
01:33:20.600 --> 01:33:24.159
sound like The way they get Lars to go along
1627
01:33:24.199 --> 01:33:27.399
with them was very ahead of ahead of its time.
1628
01:33:27.560 --> 01:33:31.720
They threaten Lars with deportation. I forgot about that. That's
1629
01:33:31.720 --> 01:33:36.159
how we've learned all kinds of lessons from this movie.
1630
01:33:36.479 --> 01:33:38.479
It's all right, So they have a big party. The
1631
01:33:38.520 --> 01:33:42.000
next morning. Pat gets everyone up and kind of gives
1632
01:33:42.000 --> 01:33:44.359
some very soft, you know, shaming and kind of a
1633
01:33:44.439 --> 01:33:47.439
motivational speech, you know, saying, you know, you gotta start
1634
01:33:47.760 --> 01:33:52.560
taking responsibility for yourself, start doing healthy, safer things to
1635
01:33:52.840 --> 01:33:56.479
lose weight, start a healthier regimen, try to make Camps.
1636
01:33:56.640 --> 01:33:59.239
Who resembles a human s'more at this moment?
1637
01:34:00.439 --> 01:34:00.560
Uh?
1638
01:34:01.479 --> 01:34:03.640
I think you know? He asked what did you learn?
1639
01:34:03.680 --> 01:34:06.680
And Roy Boyce says, never put twinkies on your pizza.
1640
01:34:07.359 --> 01:34:11.640
I remember that line specifically basically saying like, all right, guys, like,
1641
01:34:11.720 --> 01:34:14.119
is this is this really what camp? Hope? You know
1642
01:34:14.159 --> 01:34:15.960
we got it from Tony, but is this what we
1643
01:34:16.039 --> 01:34:18.399
really want to be resembling?
1644
01:34:18.439 --> 01:34:18.600
Here?
1645
01:34:18.640 --> 01:34:22.560
It's just that the trough covered in all sorts of
1646
01:34:22.560 --> 01:34:26.239
food stuff, and everyone kind of like, yeah, maybe maybe
1647
01:34:26.279 --> 01:34:27.079
he's excellent.
1648
01:34:27.439 --> 01:34:34.560
Yeah, excellent slow motion to the benchine. So okay. So
1649
01:34:35.359 --> 01:34:39.000
they there's like another montage of them all starting to
1650
01:34:39.039 --> 01:34:41.479
do like healthier things again. I guess we're assuming that
1651
01:34:41.520 --> 01:34:44.880
Tony is locked up in this cage this entire time
1652
01:34:45.800 --> 01:34:48.520
while this is going on, but so.
1653
01:34:49.800 --> 01:34:51.600
Well, it shows him locked up. He's like, let me
1654
01:34:51.680 --> 01:34:52.119
out of here.
1655
01:34:57.119 --> 01:34:59.239
But so two things kind of happen at the same time.
1656
01:34:59.279 --> 01:35:02.000
Then they have the parents. The parents are eventually invited
1657
01:35:02.039 --> 01:35:07.359
to the to the camp to check in.
1658
01:35:07.479 --> 01:35:11.479
The mid season Midsummer Parents Day visit or something like that.
1659
01:35:12.119 --> 01:35:13.760
Do you remember how Tony escapes?
1660
01:35:15.079 --> 01:35:19.000
Yeah, he takes a little Hershey's kiss rapper that's empty
1661
01:35:19.560 --> 01:35:21.760
and kind of fashions it to look like there is one,
1662
01:35:21.840 --> 01:35:25.039
and he pulls Nicholas into kind of coming over to
1663
01:35:25.079 --> 01:35:28.800
take it from him. And I can't remember exactly how
1664
01:35:28.840 --> 01:35:31.600
he gets out, like what he does? Does he do
1665
01:35:31.720 --> 01:35:34.039
something to kill the electricity to the bugs effort? Like
1666
01:35:34.079 --> 01:35:35.560
he sticks Oh, you're.
1667
01:35:35.399 --> 01:35:38.399
Right, he sticks something in to kill the electricity, drops
1668
01:35:38.399 --> 01:35:40.439
a fake hershey Kiss in front of Nicholas and then
1669
01:35:40.560 --> 01:35:45.800
like reaches out and grabs him. So as the parents
1670
01:35:45.840 --> 01:35:49.319
are there, I'm just gonna read this exactly from Wikipedia.
1671
01:35:49.439 --> 01:35:52.079
The boy's parents arrived for visiting day and are shown
1672
01:35:52.119 --> 01:35:56.600
a video documenting Tony's cruelty, which is interrupted by Tony
1673
01:35:56.800 --> 01:36:03.079
having escaped his cell, exchanging blow with Jerry's father, Jeffrey Tamboor.
1674
01:36:03.920 --> 01:36:08.600
He attempts a series of backflips but knocks himself out.
1675
01:36:09.119 --> 01:36:12.359
That's how we that's how they best Tony. He attempts
1676
01:36:12.359 --> 01:36:16.000
a bunch of backflips, knocks himself out. As Tony is
1677
01:36:16.039 --> 01:36:19.119
taken away, we do meet Tony Purkiss Sr. Who is
1678
01:36:19.399 --> 01:36:21.279
very obviously just being played by Ben.
1679
01:36:21.159 --> 01:36:24.600
Stiller Ben Schiller which would later become you know and
1680
01:36:24.640 --> 01:36:27.359
start saying hutch when he goes undercover as the dude. Yep,
1681
01:36:28.000 --> 01:36:30.800
that's suing voice that same character. But I did want
1682
01:36:30.800 --> 01:36:33.520
to touch on so when they're showing like this video
1683
01:36:33.920 --> 01:36:37.520
of Tony's abuse, and you know, they clearly doctored a
1684
01:36:37.520 --> 01:36:39.439
little bit, they're like finding a rat and acting like
1685
01:36:39.439 --> 01:36:43.880
they're eating a rat and stuff like that, and I think, uh,
1686
01:36:44.279 --> 01:36:47.119
maybe that is that when we hear the lunch's hand
1687
01:36:47.119 --> 01:36:49.920
sold due to like maybe not. But anyway, when he
1688
01:36:50.079 --> 01:36:52.000
escapes and he sees the video, he's doing like a
1689
01:36:52.039 --> 01:36:55.800
slow clap, Wow, bravo. But I feel the little the
1690
01:36:55.920 --> 01:36:58.079
villain may have been, you know, something like taken out
1691
01:36:58.079 --> 01:36:59.239
of context.
1692
01:36:59.000 --> 01:37:01.640
A little over the a little over the top.
1693
01:37:02.079 --> 01:37:04.479
As he starts walking to the kids, he keeps grabbing
1694
01:37:04.520 --> 01:37:07.600
glasses from the table and shattering and walking across the glass,
1695
01:37:07.800 --> 01:37:10.239
and he's like and as he's walking across the glass,
1696
01:37:10.239 --> 01:37:16.720
he's like, I like screaming it. And then finally when
1697
01:37:16.760 --> 01:37:18.920
he gets to Jerry's dead, Jerry's dad punches him in
1698
01:37:18.960 --> 01:37:21.920
the gut and I think he might like hit him
1699
01:37:21.960 --> 01:37:22.640
back and then.
1700
01:37:22.840 --> 01:37:24.720
But then he pops back up and does the same
1701
01:37:24.800 --> 01:37:28.199
like karate chop to the back of its neck.
1702
01:37:29.159 --> 01:37:31.840
Does the does the double judo chop before doing his
1703
01:37:31.920 --> 01:37:34.359
backflips and hitting his head on the stage, and I
1704
01:37:34.359 --> 01:37:37.359
guess he guess that was like, you know, the final blow.
1705
01:37:39.359 --> 01:37:43.399
So so all right, So right before Tony Perks leaves,
1706
01:37:43.239 --> 01:37:46.239
he promises to refund everyone's money, but he's gotta close
1707
01:37:46.279 --> 01:37:48.800
the camp. The boys want the camp to stay open.
1708
01:37:49.039 --> 01:37:51.880
He's like, so seeing Percose, He's like, well, I gotta
1709
01:37:51.960 --> 01:37:54.399
leave it, and uh gotta leave an adult in charge
1710
01:37:54.439 --> 01:37:57.399
who's been here the longest. And that's when the pat
1711
01:37:57.479 --> 01:37:59.520
the council raises his hand and says he's been there
1712
01:37:59.520 --> 01:38:03.199
for eight years, and so they kind of turn it
1713
01:38:03.239 --> 01:38:07.319
over to Pat. He agrees to, you know, at least
1714
01:38:07.319 --> 01:38:10.239
for right now, take over Camp Hope. And so here's
1715
01:38:10.239 --> 01:38:16.079
where we get to the final final chunk of the
1716
01:38:16.079 --> 01:38:19.079
the movie where we find out that every year Camp
1717
01:38:19.119 --> 01:38:23.720
Hope will go against Camp MVP in these like MVP Games,
1718
01:38:23.760 --> 01:38:26.039
an annual competition. I can't remember if there's a name
1719
01:38:26.079 --> 01:38:26.880
for the games.
1720
01:38:27.279 --> 01:38:29.439
There is, I can't remember what it is either, but
1721
01:38:29.560 --> 01:38:30.039
I do know this.
1722
01:38:30.199 --> 01:38:34.039
Get a really fun sequence and and I guess if
1723
01:38:34.079 --> 01:38:37.720
there's any it's it's almost like a triathlon or there's
1724
01:38:37.840 --> 01:38:43.840
multiple different legs of this competition between Camp Hope and
1725
01:38:44.000 --> 01:38:50.279
the and Camp MVP. Do you remember them? Activity by activity.
1726
01:38:50.319 --> 01:38:54.199
There's one that's like a test of knowledge where where
1727
01:38:54.199 --> 01:38:59.239
we have Grandma's boy himself dressed up like Einstein.
1728
01:39:00.479 --> 01:39:01.800
Is. He's smoking a cigarette too.
1729
01:39:04.800 --> 01:39:08.479
There is like what's the It obviously ends with the
1730
01:39:08.520 --> 01:39:11.079
big go kart race, but I feel like I want
1731
01:39:11.159 --> 01:39:11.560
to touch that.
1732
01:39:11.920 --> 01:39:13.800
You have to shave the shape who can shave the
1733
01:39:13.840 --> 01:39:16.119
bloon better? And we learned earlier that Josh has been
1734
01:39:16.119 --> 01:39:19.079
shaving for years. So you like here like whistling and
1735
01:39:19.119 --> 01:39:22.319
doing it, like flicking the shaving cream off the razor.
1736
01:39:24.439 --> 01:39:28.239
Right, there's like an obstacle course and then a test
1737
01:39:28.279 --> 01:39:31.279
of okay, So here it is m VP takes the
1738
01:39:31.359 --> 01:39:34.039
lead in the first event, which is an obstacle course,
1739
01:39:34.560 --> 01:39:36.640
camp Hope catches up in the second round, which is
1740
01:39:36.640 --> 01:39:41.319
a test of knowledge. Right, and god, what were some
1741
01:39:41.399 --> 01:39:45.359
of the the stupid things in the test of knowledge?
1742
01:39:45.680 --> 01:39:50.399
Because yeah, like Nicholas just knocks all of those out
1743
01:39:50.399 --> 01:39:52.319
of the park. I can't remember.
1744
01:39:52.079 --> 01:39:54.920
Remember the case. Julie keep saying the same thing, like
1745
01:39:54.960 --> 01:39:57.119
his answer is just the same thing over and over again.
1746
01:39:58.840 --> 01:40:02.239
Skate is screaming it right now. But kudos to Nurse
1747
01:40:02.359 --> 01:40:06.600
Julie dressing up like the statue of liberty. That looks
1748
01:40:06.640 --> 01:40:10.159
like freedom. It looks like freedom to me. And then
1749
01:40:10.199 --> 01:40:15.640
it finally ends in the go kart race where Gardner
1750
01:40:15.720 --> 01:40:20.000
Jerald finally gets his chance to driving the go karts.
1751
01:40:20.439 --> 01:40:24.920
They put the Captain's wings back on his jacket that
1752
01:40:25.000 --> 01:40:27.760
he got from flying on the plane at the beginning
1753
01:40:27.840 --> 01:40:30.560
of the movie. This was pretty exciting. I love a
1754
01:40:30.560 --> 01:40:34.760
good go kart. There's a great go kart scene in
1755
01:40:34.840 --> 01:40:41.119
Little Giants when Rick Rick moranis is in the go
1756
01:40:41.319 --> 01:40:44.119
kart and he's doing a race with you know, his
1757
01:40:44.159 --> 01:40:48.279
brother Ed O'Neil, who's in like a nice corvette love
1758
01:40:48.319 --> 01:40:49.439
a good go kart race.
1759
01:40:49.800 --> 01:40:52.079
There's also really quick the go kart scene where like
1760
01:40:52.600 --> 01:40:54.640
Red Tad and some of the other kids are being
1761
01:40:54.640 --> 01:40:58.079
picked on by the kids from the Cowboys, and then
1762
01:40:58.079 --> 01:41:00.239
who comes to the rescue ice Box on her go
1763
01:41:00.319 --> 01:41:01.880
cart and chases their asses down?
1764
01:41:01.960 --> 01:41:05.359
Oh, chases them on their bikes yep, yep, knocks them
1765
01:41:05.359 --> 01:41:08.560
all into like water on their bikes. All right, I'm
1766
01:41:08.560 --> 01:41:10.640
starting to lose steam here, but we're almost done. There's
1767
01:41:10.680 --> 01:41:17.159
a great, uh you know, climactic scene where Gerald is
1768
01:41:18.000 --> 01:41:21.399
Jerry's running behind in the go kart, but right at
1769
01:41:21.399 --> 01:41:25.279
the very end he hits this ramp, goes flying up
1770
01:41:25.359 --> 01:41:28.279
into the air over top of the Camp MVP go
1771
01:41:28.479 --> 01:41:31.479
kart just in the nick of time to cross the
1772
01:41:32.000 --> 01:41:36.199
finish line, and he, you know, he's exuberant. He yells,
1773
01:41:36.279 --> 01:41:40.439
I was flying, Pat, I was flying. Big cheer, big goose,
1774
01:41:40.640 --> 01:41:46.199
goose bumps. Moments you know, Camp Hope has won. Whoever
1775
01:41:46.239 --> 01:41:48.239
that dink is that they had playing the council from
1776
01:41:48.279 --> 01:41:51.000
camp MVP comes up and he says, we're gonna we're
1777
01:41:51.000 --> 01:41:55.600
gonna challenge this or we're gonna dispute this. That's our trophy.
1778
01:41:55.640 --> 01:41:57.680
And then don't they have sims? What do they have
1779
01:41:57.760 --> 01:41:58.560
sims do with.
1780
01:41:58.479 --> 01:42:04.840
The trophy into the lake? I think chasing after it
1781
01:42:04.960 --> 01:42:05.359
or something.
1782
01:42:05.520 --> 01:42:09.239
Yeah, because the trophy is that that's other foreshadowing. They
1783
01:42:09.319 --> 01:42:13.079
just wanted a trophy. They just wanted a participation trophy.
1784
01:42:13.199 --> 01:42:17.199
They just wanted someone to give them an award. Really okay,
1785
01:42:17.720 --> 01:42:21.000
And we get an end credit scene where Pat, the
1786
01:42:21.079 --> 01:42:28.880
campers and Lars sing the Camp Hope theme song. Anything else? Tim?
1787
01:42:28.920 --> 01:42:32.720
I am also learning right now from Wikipedia that there's
1788
01:42:32.760 --> 01:42:34.720
a post credit scene. Did you know this?
1789
01:42:35.199 --> 01:42:35.920
Oh my god?
1790
01:42:36.119 --> 01:42:39.960
No, In a post credit scene, Tony is now an
1791
01:42:40.039 --> 01:42:46.520
unsuccessful door to door salesman selling healing crystals. Oh. I
1792
01:42:46.560 --> 01:42:48.159
don't know if I've seen that.
1793
01:42:48.239 --> 01:42:49.439
I've never seen that either.
1794
01:42:50.079 --> 01:42:54.640
Now I gotta fire it up and uh and watch that.
1795
01:42:55.119 --> 01:42:58.479
So all right, Tim, I'm out of breath. Anything that
1796
01:42:58.520 --> 01:43:01.000
we missed, I don't know. Did you make any other notes,
1797
01:43:01.039 --> 01:43:04.479
any big quotes? My name is Lars? Oh what did?
1798
01:43:05.479 --> 01:43:07.800
There's only the one thing we missed when they're getting
1799
01:43:07.840 --> 01:43:10.560
pictures of them all. After Tony and Lars come in,
1800
01:43:11.199 --> 01:43:13.560
Josh is like picking his nose and making faces, and
1801
01:43:13.600 --> 01:43:16.880
then finally he sticks the uh sticks his name tag
1802
01:43:17.119 --> 01:43:19.960
over his ass for the picture, and you hear the
1803
01:43:20.039 --> 01:43:26.159
camera you've broken my camera. One thing we missed and
1804
01:43:26.199 --> 01:43:29.399
then he broke it by camera Tony. The other thing
1805
01:43:29.439 --> 01:43:31.159
is Tony says something that he's gonna make them all
1806
01:43:31.199 --> 01:43:33.960
into skinny winners and they start, you know, run with
1807
01:43:34.000 --> 01:43:39.760
the skinny Wieners. I think we hit all of the
1808
01:43:39.800 --> 01:43:42.800
points I can really remember, though. I mean that there's
1809
01:43:42.840 --> 01:43:44.479
a lot of high points in this movie, a lot
1810
01:43:44.520 --> 01:43:46.880
of good funny move moments. So okay, I think.
1811
01:43:46.720 --> 01:43:49.399
I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do one
1812
01:43:49.439 --> 01:43:53.199
more thing, because who cares, We've already gone super long.
1813
01:43:53.239 --> 01:43:55.479
What's a couple more minutes. I'm just gonna pull up
1814
01:43:56.640 --> 01:43:59.239
best quotes from heavyweights, and I'm just gonna kind of
1815
01:43:59.279 --> 01:44:04.600
hustle through and see if there's any uh see, if
1816
01:44:04.600 --> 01:44:08.960
there's any remissed. Yeah, here it is. Attention campers. Lun
1817
01:44:09.279 --> 01:44:11.640
Lunch has been canceled due to a lack of hustle.
1818
01:44:12.039 --> 01:44:17.720
Deal with it, Okay, when Tony's doing some like meditation
1819
01:44:17.840 --> 01:44:22.079
for them. All you need is Mother Earth, Father Sky,
1820
01:44:22.840 --> 01:44:30.359
and your dear old uncle Tony. Okay, when this is
1821
01:44:30.359 --> 01:44:33.119
what Josh says when they find the candy, Josh is
1822
01:44:33.159 --> 01:44:36.439
like the candy belongs to Seymour butts, and Tony's like
1823
01:44:36.479 --> 01:44:39.840
seymore butts, seymore butts, and Josh goes nobody's see more
1824
01:44:39.880 --> 01:44:44.279
butts than you, Uncle Tony. At one point, Lars yells,
1825
01:44:44.319 --> 01:44:47.760
put your fat finger down, if that's right before they're broken,
1826
01:44:48.279 --> 01:44:53.479
Right before you put your fat finger down. Here's another
1827
01:44:53.520 --> 01:44:56.199
purpose time. Did you ever hear the story of Icarus
1828
01:44:56.560 --> 01:44:59.520
who continually rolled the ball up the hill, but when
1829
01:44:59.520 --> 01:45:01.479
he got to close, the ball melted in the heat
1830
01:45:01.520 --> 01:45:06.960
of the sun. You're all like Icarus. I don't remember
1831
01:45:07.000 --> 01:45:11.079
this one, Lars, Okay. This is at the water scene.
1832
01:45:11.159 --> 01:45:13.920
Lars pushes a kid in the water. Hey, don't peel
1833
01:45:13.880 --> 01:45:18.039
in the water. Hey don't drink the water he peed
1834
01:45:18.039 --> 01:45:23.279
in it. Don't put twinkies. We did cover good for us,
1835
01:45:23.319 --> 01:45:28.920
tim Oh, Lars, I'm feeling skinny. Tony. All right, here's one.
1836
01:45:29.079 --> 01:45:31.039
Here's one we forgot and this isn't in the list,
1837
01:45:31.079 --> 01:45:33.720
but it's just coming to mind. When Tony is laying
1838
01:45:33.880 --> 01:45:38.000
on the bed of nails. Oh yeah, this is the
1839
01:45:38.039 --> 01:45:41.399
seventeenth level of the Perkose system. You'll be doing this
1840
01:45:41.439 --> 01:45:48.000
by labor day. Uh. He goes, all right, do it,
1841
01:45:48.079 --> 01:45:52.199
do it, Lars, and Lars goes, it's my honor, Tony
1842
01:45:52.640 --> 01:46:00.439
and then smashes a thing of ice over bloodhammer. Okay,
1843
01:46:01.119 --> 01:46:06.560
the lars his deviated septum. We talked that. Don't tell
1844
01:46:06.600 --> 01:46:13.880
anyone I snuck in some oreos. All right, this is
1845
01:46:14.039 --> 01:46:17.159
near the end. When Tony is chasing chasing Josh down
1846
01:46:17.199 --> 01:46:20.079
the hill and Josh pretends to get a leg cramp,
1847
01:46:21.359 --> 01:46:25.199
and Purkis goes, congratulations, you've joined the seventy six percent
1848
01:46:25.239 --> 01:46:30.560
of Americans who forget to stretch before doing a physical activity.
1849
01:46:32.920 --> 01:46:36.119
When Roy asked Lars Lars, what kind of name is that?
1850
01:46:36.159 --> 01:46:38.800
Where are you from? And Lars gets really close to
1851
01:46:38.880 --> 01:46:45.840
Roy and goes far away. Yeah, oh god, it's a huge,
1852
01:46:45.880 --> 01:46:48.199
long thing. When Jerry's writing to his grandma and he
1853
01:46:48.239 --> 01:46:50.840
says someone once said war as hell, Well they've never
1854
01:46:50.840 --> 01:46:54.920
been to fat camp. He gives a whole big monologue.
1855
01:46:55.119 --> 01:47:02.479
I will I won't read that. Harvey Bushkin one word
1856
01:47:02.560 --> 01:47:08.199
of advice never let anyone sign you checks. Uh. At
1857
01:47:08.239 --> 01:47:12.000
one point, when one of the kids gets on the scale, goes, huh,
1858
01:47:12.239 --> 01:47:19.800
very fat, I see.
1859
01:47:16.479 --> 01:47:19.439
Maybe you weigh in when he says tell Sims he's
1860
01:47:19.479 --> 01:47:21.039
the fattest kid at camp because they have like an
1861
01:47:21.079 --> 01:47:22.840
initial weigh in right first?
1862
01:47:23.359 --> 01:47:32.720
Yep? Okay, uh, all right, Josh comes back. Okay. There's
1863
01:47:32.840 --> 01:47:36.079
when the girls, the camp Magnolia girl start arguing with them.
1864
01:47:36.119 --> 01:47:38.279
She goes, why don't those guys just lose weight? And
1865
01:47:38.319 --> 01:47:40.279
another girl goes, why don't you show them how to
1866
01:47:40.319 --> 01:47:47.079
throw up after meals like you do? Rule, I'm almost
1867
01:47:47.319 --> 01:47:49.359
I'm almost done. But who you know who cares?
1868
01:47:49.439 --> 01:47:50.319
Uh? Oh?
1869
01:47:50.399 --> 01:47:51.840
Yeah, I head to fat camp. No, why do you
1870
01:47:51.880 --> 01:47:54.000
say that because you're fat? Is that your dad?
1871
01:47:54.079 --> 01:47:54.199
No?
1872
01:47:54.239 --> 01:47:55.920
Why do you say that because he's fat too?
1873
01:47:58.680 --> 01:47:59.399
Is that your dad?
1874
01:48:01.119 --> 01:48:07.319
Uh? Uh? Okay. So this is when Josh has been
1875
01:48:07.439 --> 01:48:10.399
kicked out and they're all gossiping and Cody goes, Sam,
1876
01:48:10.680 --> 01:48:15.359
did you hear about Josh? Oh? And the chef jeez,
1877
01:48:16.079 --> 01:48:19.880
geez Louise. The chef is played by Peter Berg, who
1878
01:48:19.920 --> 01:48:22.039
would go on to be like a director. Do you
1879
01:48:22.079 --> 01:48:27.479
remember that that's Peter Berg is the chef and he say,
1880
01:48:27.600 --> 01:48:31.399
he says, sorry to hear about your little friend Josh. Yeah,
1881
01:48:31.439 --> 01:48:33.960
and they're like, I found out the truth about Josh.
1882
01:48:34.600 --> 01:48:36.239
I heard they kicked him out and his parents were
1883
01:48:36.239 --> 01:48:38.439
so mad they wouldn't let him come home. And then
1884
01:48:38.479 --> 01:48:40.840
Cody goes, they left him at a bus stop all
1885
01:48:40.880 --> 01:48:44.279
alone at midnight. They cut back to the chef and
1886
01:48:44.279 --> 01:48:48.920
he goes, he's uh, well, he's dead. Then it cuts
1887
01:48:48.960 --> 01:48:52.159
back to Philip. They said he pulled a knife on
1888
01:48:52.279 --> 01:48:54.239
Tony and now they have him locked up in a
1889
01:48:54.319 --> 01:48:58.319
juvenile delinquent center. And Sam goes, now he's living in
1890
01:48:58.359 --> 01:49:00.319
a park in New York with a guy who has
1891
01:49:00.359 --> 01:49:04.880
no legs, and Jerry goes, no way, and Sam's like,
1892
01:49:04.920 --> 01:49:06.479
I'm just telling you what I heard.
1893
01:49:07.119 --> 01:49:11.880
Right, It is a good way of capturing you know
1894
01:49:12.439 --> 01:49:15.960
how kids that age kind of talk and spread rumors too, Like, hey,
1895
01:49:16.560 --> 01:49:18.520
just telling you man. You know, when you're a kid,
1896
01:49:18.520 --> 01:49:21.000
when you're ten, eleven, twelve, if someone tells you something,
1897
01:49:21.359 --> 01:49:23.479
you're gonna be like I think I'm gonna google it
1898
01:49:23.560 --> 01:49:27.359
and do some more research. You're just like, hey, I heard.
1899
01:49:27.199 --> 01:49:33.239
Man, Yeah, oh yeah, just the way like Gosman, Okay,
1900
01:49:33.880 --> 01:49:35.119
I feel like I should be done. I feel like
1901
01:49:35.159 --> 01:49:39.560
I want to find one more good one to end on. Congratulations,
1902
01:49:39.600 --> 01:49:45.359
mister sim you're the fattest boy in camp. This is
1903
01:49:45.359 --> 01:49:48.039
when Tony gets out, You've been a good god. Nicholas
1904
01:49:48.479 --> 01:49:52.319
bear and strong, and he goes, I want to reward
1905
01:49:52.359 --> 01:49:55.119
you with his chocolate kiss, and Nicholas goes throw it
1906
01:49:55.159 --> 01:49:58.800
over and Tony goes, then it would smoosh. We wouldn't
1907
01:49:58.800 --> 01:50:02.119
want that. And then when he grabs Nicholas, he goes,
1908
01:50:02.159 --> 01:50:09.159
looks like London Bridge is falling down. All right, here's
1909
01:50:09.199 --> 01:50:10.960
one last one and then we'll end it. This is
1910
01:50:10.960 --> 01:50:17.319
from Tony purkis Repulse the monkey part, the wild Horse's
1911
01:50:17.399 --> 01:50:20.159
main I think that's how we should end every episode now,
1912
01:50:20.239 --> 01:50:23.840
tim by saying all right, everyone, repulse the monkey part,
1913
01:50:23.880 --> 01:50:26.319
the wild Horse's name. Do you think we did justice
1914
01:50:26.319 --> 01:50:28.880
to heavy waste? Do you think Skate will be happy?
1915
01:50:28.960 --> 01:50:33.560
Do you think we we've fulfilled his request to do Heavyweights?
1916
01:50:33.880 --> 01:50:36.000
Oh yeah, I think this is the deepest side we've
1917
01:50:36.039 --> 01:50:37.840
taken into an individual movie yet.
1918
01:50:39.119 --> 01:50:41.119
All right, well, I think the fact that I feel
1919
01:50:41.159 --> 01:50:44.840
dehydrated and have a headache means that I think it's
1920
01:50:44.840 --> 01:50:48.520
about time to wrap it. Up anything else you wanted
1921
01:50:48.520 --> 01:50:51.760
to mention Tim, this was fun.
1922
01:50:52.800 --> 01:50:55.600
No, I think we accomplished what we set out to
1923
01:50:55.640 --> 01:50:56.439
do with this one.
1924
01:50:57.760 --> 01:51:00.840
We did. You know some podcast ors, other podcasts out
1925
01:51:00.880 --> 01:51:03.720
there that made their bones on, you know, like talking
1926
01:51:03.760 --> 01:51:06.880
about Heat as the greatest movie of all time, and
1927
01:51:07.039 --> 01:51:11.000
you know, everything kind of comes back to Heat. I
1928
01:51:11.079 --> 01:51:14.279
think Heavyweights is our Heat. I think everything else, all
1929
01:51:14.359 --> 01:51:17.279
those movies in the nineties, everything we grew up on,
1930
01:51:17.760 --> 01:51:20.439
it all comes back to I think what is our
1931
01:51:20.520 --> 01:51:22.960
magnum opus, which is Heavyweights? You agree?
1932
01:51:24.119 --> 01:51:24.720
I agree?
1933
01:51:25.399 --> 01:51:28.439
All right, Well, thank you worst friends. You know as
1934
01:51:28.479 --> 01:51:33.760
always repulse the monkey part the wild Horse's main zip
1935
01:51:33.760 --> 01:51:35.319
