00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:03.439
What is going on, everyone? Welcome to the Part-Time Nerd
2
00:00:03.459 --> 00:00:05.660
Podcast with your pals Alan and Rapid Dave. I'm Alan.
3
00:00:06.179 --> 00:00:06.940
Marty, man. What up?
4
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:08.279
Not much. How are you doing?
5
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.460
Pretty good. I'll say pretty good.
6
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:14.109
You should be. You should be. As today we watch it.
7
00:00:15.130 --> 00:00:19.129
It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Originally released October 27th, 1966.
8
00:00:19.129 --> 00:00:19.850
What do you got?
9
00:00:25.129 --> 00:00:28.250
The Peanuts gang celebrates Halloween while Linus waits for the
10
00:00:28.309 --> 00:00:33.049
Great Pumpkin. As you mentioned, October 27th, 1966. Director Bill Melendez.
11
00:00:33.049 --> 00:00:39.369
25 minutes long. Animation slash family film. Yeah. Rated G.
12
00:00:39.990 --> 00:00:43.079
And it's great. Like, this is just pure greatness for me.
13
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.229
I absolutely love everything about it.
14
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.920
You put this on your list of top five Halloween movies,
15
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.179
which is not even a movie. It's 20 minutes long.
16
00:00:52.630 --> 00:00:56.850
It's real to me, damn it. Who says a movie
17
00:00:56.890 --> 00:01:01.840
has to be longer than 25 minutes? Okay. I'm just saying.
18
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:03.500
It's just a short movie.
19
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:11.349
A movie. A movie. A core set of mechanical, structural,
20
00:01:11.409 --> 00:01:13.969
and creative elements. There you go. Yeah.
21
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:15.719
This has all of that.
22
00:01:15.739 --> 00:01:17.329
You don't even know what any of that means.
23
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.510
I mean, Charlie Brown is a movie, so deal with it, sucker.
24
00:01:22.890 --> 00:01:25.750
I've been watching this thing since I can remember. It
25
00:01:25.769 --> 00:01:28.689
used to air on ABC or whatever, like every single
26
00:01:28.730 --> 00:01:31.650
year until Apple bought it or whatever. You can still
27
00:01:31.670 --> 00:01:33.810
watch it. We watched it on YouTube. It's broken up
28
00:01:33.849 --> 00:01:35.010
into like 10 or 12 movies.
29
00:01:35.390 --> 00:01:36.909
I actually found one where it's not.
30
00:01:37.129 --> 00:01:39.489
Oh, nice. Yeah, there's two of them. And I was like,
31
00:01:39.510 --> 00:01:41.530
I just clicked on the one that I've already watched before.
32
00:01:42.150 --> 00:01:44.250
And I was like, okay. And you realize how quick
33
00:01:44.290 --> 00:01:48.049
this thing is when there's not a commercial every minute.
34
00:01:48.150 --> 00:01:52.010
Oh yeah. Yeah. Like it's, it's quick, but it's so great. Like,
35
00:01:52.849 --> 00:01:55.670
I mean, it starts off, I, I'd laugh at the
36
00:01:55.689 --> 00:02:00.719
very first scene. It's, um, Linus and his, his sister,
37
00:02:00.939 --> 00:02:05.159
Sally going and getting a pumpkin and Linus is having
38
00:02:05.180 --> 00:02:07.659
to roll it back to the house. Cause the pumpkin
39
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.979
is bigger than him. Um, she cuts it open and
40
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.439
starts pulling the guts out. And Linus is like, you
41
00:02:13.460 --> 00:02:14.840
didn't tell me we were going to kill it.
42
00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:18.699
That's when you get the first Linus.
43
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.419
Oh man. But there's just so many, just fun little
44
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.139
parts in this. Like they got the pile of leaves
45
00:02:27.219 --> 00:02:30.280
going there and Linus jumps into it. And he's like,
46
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.319
never jump into a pile of leaves with a wet sucker.
47
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.330
Telling you, giving you life advice at that age.
48
00:02:35.389 --> 00:02:38.669
So, so much life advice, Charlie Brown's dumb as can be.
49
00:02:39.469 --> 00:02:43.689
Um, He's not stupid. He's not simple.
50
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.150
He gets him again with the football.
51
00:02:45.210 --> 00:02:46.169
Well, he's gullible.
52
00:02:46.569 --> 00:02:49.289
He's she's like, oh, I've got to sign a contract here.
53
00:02:49.330 --> 00:02:51.789
He's like, that's just right. We got to sign contracts.
54
00:02:52.530 --> 00:02:56.129
One has a contract. I can't. He runs. She pulls
55
00:02:56.150 --> 00:02:59.930
the football away. He busts his ass again. She's like,
56
00:03:00.050 --> 00:03:03.629
funny thing about that contract. It's not notarized. It's like,
57
00:03:03.729 --> 00:03:04.610
son of a bitch.
58
00:03:04.830 --> 00:03:06.830
Then you're looking around like, what the hell does that mean?
59
00:03:07.150 --> 00:03:10.210
Because you're, you know, five years old.
60
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:13.699
Well, that, and then you had, like, later in the
61
00:03:13.740 --> 00:03:20.680
episode when Sally turns on Linus, and she's all upset
62
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.620
because she missed Halloween, waiting for the Great Pumpkin. And
63
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.750
she starts, she's going to sue. She wants restitution. You're
64
00:03:27.770 --> 00:03:29.490
just like, again, as a kid, you're like, what the
65
00:03:29.509 --> 00:03:31.610
hell is restitution? You didn't know, but you laughed your
66
00:03:31.729 --> 00:03:32.650
ass off. Yeah. Right?
67
00:03:33.229 --> 00:03:35.110
Restitution. I don't think you know.
68
00:03:35.009 --> 00:03:37.650
What that is. And then just, Charlie Brown is just
69
00:03:37.669 --> 00:03:40.810
such a punching bag. Like, he's just everybody. Like, even
70
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:42.699
when he's a, he's going around trick or treating and
71
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.669
all the neighbors houses and all the neighbors hate, hate him.
72
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.259
Like he shows everyone's guy. I got this candy. I
73
00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:52.189
got this. I got this. I got a rock. Unbelievable.
74
00:03:52.229 --> 00:03:52.949
Load full transcript
Disrespect.
75
00:03:53.789 --> 00:03:57.870
So much disrespect, but also like he can't cut just
76
00:03:57.909 --> 00:04:01.310
two holes into a costume for a ghost costume. Uh,
77
00:04:01.349 --> 00:04:03.419
he's got 15 holes in it.
78
00:04:04.180 --> 00:04:05.419
Um, he does have a ton.
79
00:04:05.979 --> 00:04:09.319
He does. When they're at the Halloween party, they're like, Oh,
80
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.520
you could be our model. He's like, really? Yeah, you'd
81
00:04:11.539 --> 00:04:14.719
be a perfect model. Aw, shucks. And then they have
82
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.779
him turn around and they draw a pumpkin's face on
83
00:04:17.819 --> 00:04:18.439
his bald head.
84
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:20.699
Back his big-ass noggin.
85
00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:25.959
I guess he's just everyone's punching bag. Just, you know,
86
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:26.759
get better friends.
87
00:04:26.779 --> 00:04:29.990
How about that, Charlie Brown? I mean, he accidentally got
88
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.029
invited to a party. And then Lucy's like, if you
89
00:04:32.069 --> 00:04:35.350
got invited, that was a mistake. And he's like, what?
90
00:04:35.550 --> 00:04:38.389
There's two lists, Charlie Brown. One to invite and one
91
00:04:38.470 --> 00:04:42.389
not to invite. Oh, it's like, dude, what the hell's
92
00:04:42.410 --> 00:04:44.560
wrong with this? Why did he just, that's the kid
93
00:04:44.569 --> 00:04:46.480
that needs to go around and just start socking people. Like,
94
00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:48.639
you know what I mean? Just like you say something
95
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.620
and all you gotta do is drill one of them
96
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.120
and that they'll never, they'll never do it again. Any
97
00:04:53.180 --> 00:04:53.360
of them.
98
00:04:54.259 --> 00:04:56.480
Well, here's the thing. Pig pens more like than he is.
99
00:04:59.139 --> 00:05:01.160
And he's filthy as can be. He's got bugs and
100
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.410
dirt flying around them all the time. And he's, everyone
101
00:05:04.449 --> 00:05:09.470
loves him more than they love Charlie. Oh, poor Charlie. Oh, Snoopy.
102
00:05:09.870 --> 00:05:10.810
Snoopy's just great.
103
00:05:11.110 --> 00:05:11.350
He's good.
104
00:05:11.370 --> 00:05:13.790
This one. Yeah. World war one fought flying ace.
105
00:05:14.230 --> 00:05:14.529
Yeah.
106
00:05:14.990 --> 00:05:17.120
You love it whenever he's as a kid. I just
107
00:05:17.149 --> 00:05:20.839
loved it. Anytime you saw him doing that a little bit. Um,
108
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:25.160
but yeah, everyone's making fun of Linus. Like he's at
109
00:05:25.220 --> 00:05:27.730
home writing his letter and people are just like in
110
00:05:27.810 --> 00:05:30.430
line just to, just to make fun of them.
111
00:05:30.629 --> 00:05:34.779
Like, Hey, number 46, you're up. Atlantis, you moron.
112
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:40.600
He's sitting there and he's talking to his old buddy, Chuck,
113
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.680
old Charlie Brown. And he's like, you know, it's not
114
00:05:43.699 --> 00:05:47.680
really like we say Santa's real. He's same thing as Santa,
115
00:05:47.860 --> 00:05:51.850
just for Halloween. You know, he starts talking again. You've
116
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:53.459
got so many lines in this that are like, well,
117
00:05:53.500 --> 00:05:57.129
I just guess that's a different preference in religions and whatever.
118
00:05:57.149 --> 00:05:59.490
And you're just like, as a kid, you don't understand
119
00:05:59.509 --> 00:06:01.750
that stuff. But as an adult, you're like, OK, you know.
120
00:06:03.430 --> 00:06:07.639
and then his sister comes and everyone makes fun of
121
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.040
me because of you you moron and then another kid
122
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:12.980
shows up and is making fun of him and then
123
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.220
another one and these are just random characters these aren't
124
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:22.060
even like staples yeah right it's just all these random
125
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.300
people it's just a line they're just one at a time.
126
00:06:25.019 --> 00:06:29.439
I'm not catching strays from some C level character here
127
00:06:29.689 --> 00:06:30.790
I'll tell you that right now.
128
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.300
But he just took it. And then, you know, everyone
129
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.360
goes trick or treating. He's just in the pumpkin patch.
130
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.439
Just waiting. Thinks he shows up at one time, but
131
00:06:39.490 --> 00:06:40.149
it's just Snoopy.
132
00:06:40.470 --> 00:06:41.970
It's Snoopy rising out of the patch.
133
00:06:42.290 --> 00:06:45.689
Just Snoopy. Um, but yeah, he stays out there all
134
00:06:45.750 --> 00:06:48.550
night and then you kind of, you get one little
135
00:06:48.589 --> 00:06:51.870
redeeming factor about Lucy, right? She wakes up in the
136
00:06:51.910 --> 00:06:54.810
middle of the night, sees her brother's not in bed,
137
00:06:55.509 --> 00:06:58.199
goes and gets them and takes them inside and tucks
138
00:06:58.220 --> 00:07:02.079
them in. Um, pulls his shoes off, all that.
139
00:07:02.100 --> 00:07:06.610
Terrible parents, wherever the hell the parents are. I don't know, man.
140
00:07:06.730 --> 00:07:09.089
141
00:07:09.129 --> 00:07:13.129
And
142
00:07:13.149 --> 00:07:16.470
then I do like the... Of course, you got Schroeder
143
00:07:16.509 --> 00:07:19.430
playing the piano, as you always do. And Snoopy's sitting
144
00:07:19.449 --> 00:07:22.029
there and he's playing an upbeat song and Snoopy's all dancing.
145
00:07:22.550 --> 00:07:23.930
And then it gets to a sad part and he
146
00:07:23.949 --> 00:07:26.399
just starts crying. And he goes back to the upbeat
147
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:28.639
part and he's dancing again and back to sad.
148
00:07:29.250 --> 00:07:30.569
It's a roller coaster of emotions.
149
00:07:31.129 --> 00:07:35.370
It is, but
it's just, it's so great. Like I
150
00:07:35.430 --> 00:07:40.129
love everything about this. It's, it will never not be good.
151
00:07:40.410 --> 00:07:44.689
It will always be good. It's every generation, right? I mean,
152
00:07:44.709 --> 00:07:47.230
this thing was out for 14 years before we were
153
00:07:47.269 --> 00:07:48.930

00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.759
Oh yeah huge huge well what kind of we got
169
00:08:23.779 --> 00:08:24.639
some ratings there.
170
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.660
We do and i do have a rotten tomato so
171
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:28.740
you'll be able to start guessing um If.
172
00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:30.259
It's not 100, I don't even want to hear it.
173
00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:31.220
Go on.
174
00:08:32.460 --> 00:08:38.870
IMDB, 8.1 out of 10. Letterboxd, 4.2 out of 5.
175
00:08:38.870 --> 00:08:43.950
That leaves Rotten Tomatoes, the wild card. It's not 100.
176
00:08:43.950 --> 00:08:45.070
I told you it's not 100.
177
00:08:45.070 --> 00:08:47.129
I know it's not. It's like an 83.
178
00:08:47.129 --> 00:08:50.490
They only rate... What's that stupid... I can't even think
179
00:08:50.509 --> 00:08:52.570
of the dumbass movie.
180
00:08:53.029 --> 00:08:55.210
It's 90. 90. Okay. Respectable.
181
00:08:55.370 --> 00:08:56.450
Respectable.
182
00:08:56.769 --> 00:09:00.710
Okay. I'm not going to hate them for that one.
183
00:09:01.029 --> 00:09:03.169
They probably took points away because it's not a full-length
184
00:09:03.210 --> 00:09:03.970
film how about.
185
00:09:03.870 --> 00:09:07.309
It's still lower than nightmare on elm street which is
186
00:09:07.389 --> 00:09:09.590
just ridiculous but yeah i will.
187
00:09:09.509 --> 00:09:12.289
Say this i'm looking at google and it's where i
188
00:09:12.330 --> 00:09:15.769
usually get the rating the year and the genre and
189
00:09:15.889 --> 00:09:18.970
like i said it's animation slash family well there's one
190
00:09:19.009 --> 00:09:21.309
word after that it says film.
191
00:09:22.179 --> 00:09:25.220
Boom I have been redeemed.
192
00:09:26.899 --> 00:09:28.379
I didn't see it the first time or maybe I didn't.
193
00:09:28.419 --> 00:09:30.759
I read it, but yeah. So family film, it's a film.
194
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:32.519
There you go. 25 minutes long.
195
00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:37.220
It's the great pumpkin. Charlie Brown is an absolute Halloween classic.
196
00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:40.659
While Charlie Brown gets rocks instead of candy, Linus spends
197
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:43.850
Halloween night waiting in a pumpkin patch for the mysterious
198
00:09:43.909 --> 00:09:47.409
great pumpkin. Meanwhile, Snoopy becomes a world war one flying
199
00:09:47.509 --> 00:09:51.929
ace battling the red Baron from Lucy's hilarious antics to
200
00:09:51.970 --> 00:09:56.029
that unforgettable peanuts humor. This special perfectly captures the magic
201
00:09:56.049 --> 00:09:59.549
of Halloween as a kid. Nearly 60 years later, it's
202
00:09:59.590 --> 00:10:03.259
still fun. charming, and packed with nostalgia. It's not officially
203
00:10:03.299 --> 00:10:06.139
Halloween until you've watched The Great Pumpkin.
204
00:10:06.899 --> 00:10:07.220
Boom.
205
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:08.759
Absolutely.
206
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:09.580
There we go.
207
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.299
And I think they still do show it on NBC
208
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.490
on Halloween. Like, I think they started, like, that first
209
00:10:16.529 --> 00:10:18.399
year they did it, And then there was a bunch
210
00:10:18.419 --> 00:10:20.059
of backlash. So Apple was like, you could get it
211
00:10:20.179 --> 00:10:20.559
one night.
212
00:10:21.179 --> 00:10:22.720
Yeah, they did. I don't know what night it is.
213
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.250
I don't think it's on Halloween, though, this year. Because
214
00:10:24.259 --> 00:10:26.409
they did mention it. Because they were like, oh, these
215
00:10:26.470 --> 00:10:28.450
are the days for the special. Someone posted it or whatever.
216
00:10:28.490 --> 00:10:30.009
But anyways, it probably has already passed.
217
00:10:30.750 --> 00:10:36.809
Yeah. But yeah, it's Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Classic. Must watch.
218
00:10:38.490 --> 00:10:40.190
How do you guys feel about it? Do you still
219
00:10:40.210 --> 00:10:42.360
watch it to this day? Do your kids like it?
220
00:10:42.370 --> 00:10:44.870
Do your kids' kids like it? Just tell us. Let
221
00:10:44.929 --> 00:10:47.210
us know. As always, guys, I'm Alan.
222
00:10:47.529 --> 00:10:48.899
I'm RD. Talk to you later.
223
00:10:49.470 --> 00:10:49.769
Deuces.
