1
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:28,760
Yeah.

2
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:29,920
Cookie Googlman?

3
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:30,640
Yeah.

4
00:00:30,940 --> 00:00:32,000
Does this ring a bell?

5
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,080
I'm not wearing underwear.

6
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:36,960
Bulge.

7
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,300
Yeah, that's me.

8
00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:42,720
It's me.

9
00:00:43,140 --> 00:00:44,640
You look fantastic.

10
00:00:46,220 --> 00:00:46,920
You've grown.

11
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:48,820
I'm growing right now, girl.

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:49,940
Just looking at you.

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,800
That is the one and only time I've ever done it on a roller coaster.

14
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:56,080
Hello, folks, welcome to the Cinema Beef Podcast.

15
00:00:56,100 --> 00:00:57,660
I am one of your hosts, Gary Hill.

16
00:00:58,180 --> 00:01:01,820
Alone again in the introduction here, but that's more than fine.

17
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,120
You'll hear many more people on this episode.

18
00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:06,260
I'm looking forward to you guys checking that out.

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,580
First of all, thank you for joining us.

20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,580
This is part two of the Beefaverasry and our Christopher Guest exploding all in your face.

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,940
I don't have a name for this.

22
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:18,920
It's a celebration.

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:20,700
That's good shit, right?

24
00:01:22,660 --> 00:01:24,420
This is the fun part of the show for me.

25
00:01:24,660 --> 00:01:28,760
It might be a new segment of the show to replace my What You've Been Watching.

26
00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:30,080
This might be a Patreon thing.

27
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:30,580
I don't know.

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,420
Give a little extended reviews on these.

29
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,540
I decided to do the horror and the horrible.

30
00:01:36,140 --> 00:01:37,580
Question mark on the idea of horrible.

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,520
You never can tell.

32
00:01:38,540 --> 00:01:54,480
I don't watch a lot of new horror, so I figured it would be fun for me to do, to review a new horror film with very little spoilers and review something that could be terrible, an older film, more than likely, and it might be really good.

33
00:01:54,500 --> 00:02:00,860
I think the one in question is kind of in the middle, because it kind of, yeah.

34
00:02:01,780 --> 00:02:10,220
But the first film I'm going to review for that is a brand new horror film that's out in Taiwan in selected theaters, I think, right now.

35
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:20,060
Comes to shutter on the 12th, so I'll keep my spoilers brief and hopefully just a little, little existent in this movie.

36
00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:23,080
It's one of the cool kids are talking about called The Sadness.

37
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:31,840
This film is a film in which they're taking the pandemic that turns into like as a whole, I wouldn't call them zombies.

38
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:51,780
They're calling it a zombie film, but I wouldn't call it a zombie film because they're more like infected with like a rage virus that makes the limbic system go nuts and make them want to kill people in horrible bloody, bloody ways and make their sex drives go crazy so they want to rape people.

39
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,560
And this film, first of all, not for the Swedish.

40
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:13,780
If you do not like blood and stuff like eyeball removal and rape, male and female, yeah, there's that testicle smashing in this movie.

41
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,960
There's all kinds of nasty things.

42
00:03:15,980 --> 00:03:24,780
Some guy gets hit in the face with some fry grease and his face starts to melt, so the infected person starts to tear his skin off, and you see everything.

43
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:26,000
My gosh.

44
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,480
The crux of this film is basically this couple trying to get back to each other.

45
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:49,320
Once she leaves for work and he finds out that this thing is going on, they're searching for each other, so you're basically following these two people through the whole run around the city and seeing all this craziness, and it's really wild shit, but I wouldn't recommend it for everybody.

46
00:03:49,340 --> 00:03:50,720
It reminds me a lot of the film.

47
00:03:50,740 --> 00:03:52,220
It would be a long time ago.

48
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:52,800
I forget with who.

49
00:03:52,820 --> 00:03:53,940
It's called The Taint.

50
00:03:53,940 --> 00:04:06,500
It's a trauma-produced film about a virus that gets loose via like the Omega Man type situation that makes dudes into like overly misogynistic pricks who want to kill women.

51
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:28,040
And your protagonist in the film is like this skateboarding douchebag who, I think at the end of the movie, I'm not going to watch The Taint again because it was kind of really stupid, but they have enlarged penises, like ridiculous penises, and he has to shoot the heads off these dicks to make them die to kill these people.

52
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:38,100
If you want something on the more playful side of ridiculousness, you can watch The Taint as well.

53
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,840
But the sadness, again, it comes to Shudder on the 12th, so if you have Shudder, you can watch it there.

54
00:04:43,860 --> 00:04:49,640
I don't want to give a crazy amount away because it's very simplistic in nature.

55
00:04:49,660 --> 00:04:58,160
It's nothing you really haven't seen before as far as plot goes, but as far as like gonzo violence, it's just like, yeah.

56
00:04:58,660 --> 00:05:10,800
The only issue I have, and I listened to the Cult of Muscles review of this movie, and they're 100% correct, once you get about two-thirds of the way through this movie, you have a subplot where there's a lot of exposition that's had.

57
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:19,760
That's when the film takes a dip into the slow side, and you're not really caring what happens next because nothing really happens after this dip happens a lot.

58
00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:26,900
It hurts the film, but all the stuff before it is just a gory fucking mess.

59
00:05:27,020 --> 00:05:32,720
So, if you're interested in The Sadness, here comes a high recommend to me to check out.

60
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,360
Go do that when it comes to Shudder, if you haven't saw it already.

61
00:05:39,540 --> 00:05:46,260
The horrible segment of this, I watched a film called The Day of the Dolphin, which is a film that stars George C.

62
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:46,540
Scott.

63
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:54,520
Your basic plot of this movie is he is a guy who works with dolphins and he is teaching the dolphins how to communicate with humans.

64
00:05:54,740 --> 00:06:00,960
It's like secret because he doesn't want the government to corrupt his work or use them for nefarious means.

65
00:06:01,180 --> 00:06:14,000
But wouldn't you know it, once the government stooges start to question the money they're giving him and what's going on with the money, what's our results, the government stooges get fucking curious as hell.

66
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:23,680
And there's a whole plot in here where they come to visit and they're going to take these dolphins for nefarious things, i.e.

67
00:06:23,780 --> 00:06:25,840
using them to assassinate the president.

68
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,120
Yeah, it's nuts, but you know what, I'll tell you one thing about this film.

69
00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:33,880
It has beautiful island locations, first of all.

70
00:06:33,980 --> 00:06:38,300
So if you watch this, this is a Mike Nichols film, so it's a very legit thing.

71
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,680
It's based on a book I've never read before, but George C.

72
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:48,260
Scott in this movie is doing the best he can with a plot you wouldn't normally see him in.

73
00:06:48,500 --> 00:07:06,640
You know, playing this scientist who cares deeply for these animals, and there's a point where he brings a female dolphin in to get him more chatty, so the whole idea of them having them, I imagine they're gonna breed these animals, they're successful in their assassination skills.

74
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:23,640
It's a ridiculous subplot to this movie, but it's not unsound to say if dolphins were as smart, and they are very smart creatures, but if they could follow human commands, would they follow those human commands to a T?

75
00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:27,160
Would they find out in the end that you don't know, because they're not that stupid?

76
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:34,640
They could do the job, but they only follow the people they trust, which is our character played by George C.

77
00:07:34,660 --> 00:07:37,580
Scott and his team, and it's really...

78
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,040
This sounds like a really dull plot, and let me tell you, it's not.

79
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,720
It's very interesting.

80
00:07:44,180 --> 00:07:50,240
We got a lot of stuff in the 80s and the early 90s about animals and what they could do, i.e.

81
00:07:51,300 --> 00:08:09,120
free willy and Project X, but this is a first film like that, to where you can see how they can use the science and stuff like that, and the personalities, and the wiseness of these creatures, and young Paul Sorvino in this, looking all baby-faced and stuff.

82
00:08:09,140 --> 00:08:11,040
It's really strange to look at him like this.

83
00:08:11,540 --> 00:08:14,460
Edward Herman shows up in this movie.

84
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,180
The guy whose name I always forget, but he plays the...

85
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,240
I forget who he plays.

86
00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:27,920
He's the guy from Real Genius who tells young Mitch to never forget to check your references.

87
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:34,200
That guy shows up in this movie as one of the government stooges that steals the dolphins for nefarious.

88
00:08:34,980 --> 00:08:37,720
They get their revenge, obviously.

89
00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:47,280
But there's a part in this movie that will make you sad because it's a real Harry and the Hendersons moment to where George C.

90
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:55,780
Scott has to tell the dolphins to scram or else the government is just going to come take them again and use them for whatever they want to use them for.

91
00:08:56,100 --> 00:09:00,140
And he has to look away and he has to yell at these dolphins.

92
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,020
You know, like when George has to slap Harry, tell him to go back in the woods.

93
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,220
Oh man, that part of them will make you sad every time.

94
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,080
This is a similar moment there because he loved these creatures.

95
00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:14,280
He had to let them go because the government totally sucks.

96
00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:14,940
Yes, sir.

97
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,120
Can't you have fucking dolphins?

98
00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:18,060
Can't you have fucking dolphins?

99
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,300
This one you can find on a Kino Classics Blu-ray that came out recently.

100
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,480
So if you're interested at all in watching The Day of the Dolphin, I highly recommend it because it's a beautiful film.

101
00:09:28,140 --> 00:09:29,340
It's very simplistic.

102
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:37,100
I mean, you see the poster, you're like, wow, I'm so disappointed these dolphins didn't like, you know, stick their fins in an assassin or something.

103
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,360
No, it's not about that.

104
00:09:38,380 --> 00:09:45,900
It's about them being highly trained creatures, very noble and smart creatures and being exploited by our government.

105
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,600
And George C.

106
00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:47,500
Scott doesn't want that.

107
00:09:47,660 --> 00:09:49,660
So kudos to that guy.

108
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:52,340
So The Day of the Dolphin and The Sadness are recommended.

109
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,760
So it's not horrible.

110
00:09:53,780 --> 00:09:56,320
Just the premise, if you look at the poster, I blame the poster.

111
00:09:56,460 --> 00:09:57,880
I blame the poster for this.

112
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:04,640
And if I could find it right here, and I think it is right here, it's a ridiculous tagline to this movie.

113
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,040
And yeah, come on, dang it.

114
00:10:08,180 --> 00:10:10,860
Something about, oh my gosh.

115
00:10:11,140 --> 00:10:14,120
That's a science fiction thriller, which is not.

116
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:15,460
Okay, it's crazy.

117
00:10:15,780 --> 00:10:22,740
New York Times says, The Day of the Dolphin takes off like a blazing forest fire with a thrill of minute.

118
00:10:22,820 --> 00:10:24,920
It doesn't do that, but it's still enjoyable.

119
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:27,400
You know, don't be ridiculous reviews.

120
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:28,580
Man, oh man.

121
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,340
But I'll skip that.

122
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:38,280
But basically the poster gives you like this whole schmiel about, oh, did I train dolphins to kill the president or something?

123
00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:40,040
And it really hams it up.

124
00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:42,420
And this is a film that didn't deserve that.

125
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,840
And it deserved, you know, with sunscreen, which is them showcasing these creatures.

126
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:47,860
And you know, George C.

127
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:53,620
Scott's love for these creatures, including he rides, there's an underwater scene, which probably isn't even him.

128
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,880
Probably a stunt man where he's like in the water with the dolphins.

129
00:10:57,140 --> 00:11:01,000
And it seems like he might be like dry humping it a little bit.

130
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:01,560
I don't know.

131
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,400
I don't want to sell eat Day of the Dolphin, but you guys should check it out.

132
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,700
If anything, George C.

133
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,720
Scott talks to dolphins in special languages.

134
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,200
So go look for it for that reason.

135
00:11:11,220 --> 00:11:14,580
Not really streaming anywhere though, which is off to me.

136
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,100
They should fix that problem.

137
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,600
Let's see if we can buy it on iTunes or something.

138
00:11:18,740 --> 00:11:24,380
But written by Buck Henry of all people, comedian Buck Henry, and like I said, Mike Nichols directed it.

139
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:27,560
Go check out his body of work if you don't know what that is.

140
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:35,860
That includes The Graduate, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, The Birdcage, some good stuff in that mix.

141
00:11:36,060 --> 00:11:42,280
He did some Playhouse 90s too, which those are like old school, like TV programs.

142
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,880
Some of them are on YouTube, so I recommend you check those out.

143
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:45,960
Good dramas there.

144
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:48,760
Data Dolphin, though, I recommend it.

145
00:11:48,780 --> 00:11:52,180
It's like it's due to the saddest, but for a whole different sentimental reasons.

146
00:11:53,040 --> 00:12:05,600
Next thing I want to bring up, because I watched something else this week that I, you know, you watch these films willingly, but they have an actress in there or an actor that you'll watch anything they're in, even though it's a giant fucking turd.

147
00:12:05,620 --> 00:12:09,220
Well, that's the reason why I watched The Hot Chick on Amazon Prime.

148
00:12:09,540 --> 00:12:18,140
This is a film which Rob Schneider, through ancient Egyptian earrings, switches places with the young Rachel McAdams.

149
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:23,140
This is the first thing she's ever done, who's like this mean girl in high school, cheerleader, you know?

150
00:12:23,620 --> 00:12:34,200
And he has to live life as a man, but he's got the girl brain in him, and it's racially insensitive in parts and problematic in parts, and there's gay panic everywhere.

151
00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:37,400
But you know who's in this movie that'll watch it any movie?

152
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,920
Anna Faris is in this movie.

153
00:12:39,940 --> 00:12:41,200
I always find her charming as hell.

154
00:12:42,740 --> 00:12:48,280
And on TV show Mom, her and Allison Janney were a perfect pair, and she's not on that show anymore.

155
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:49,900
That show's over with, I believe.

156
00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:53,880
I've watched The House Bunny more than once because Anna Faris is in it.

157
00:12:53,900 --> 00:13:00,460
I've watched that stinker, I think Scary 3 was where it really started to suck ass for me, but she's in that, but I'll watch it because she's in it.

158
00:13:01,420 --> 00:13:15,800
If you know an actress like this, and you know, you'll watch anything that they're in, just let us know in the crew page, because I hate to bring up the hot chick, because it's really stupid, but Anna Faris, you know, takes that turn up a notch, I think.

159
00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:16,960
She always does.

160
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,720
She's always a winner to me.

161
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,660
So, as an aside there.

162
00:13:21,060 --> 00:13:30,020
But yeah, on this show, this very special, special show, you will hear myself, Bo Ransdell, Mr.

163
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:38,100
Venom, Suzanne and Iris, all discuss the Movie Best in Show on the next review that you will hear.

164
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,020
Sandwiched in there, you will hear myself and Ricky Morgan.

165
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,160
I call him Ricky Morton again.

166
00:13:44,180 --> 00:13:45,200
He should be honored by this.

167
00:13:45,220 --> 00:13:47,060
I'm calling him a member of the Rock and Roll Express.

168
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,440
Ricky Morgan.

169
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:52,500
We are going to do Crippled Theater once again with The Amazing Mr.

170
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,000
No Legs.

171
00:13:53,860 --> 00:13:58,000
We'll get into why we, I should say, you should say The Amazing Mr.

172
00:13:58,020 --> 00:13:58,500
No Legs.

173
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,520
He is spectacular.

174
00:13:59,540 --> 00:14:01,640
That would be Crippled Theater.

175
00:14:01,660 --> 00:14:05,600
And to close out the show, I'm looking for you guys here in this.

176
00:14:05,620 --> 00:14:07,640
We are doing Mighty Wind.

177
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:14,620
These two films, spoilers, are probably my two favorite in the CRISPR Guest oeuvre, if you will.

178
00:14:14,820 --> 00:14:18,560
The ones I go back to the most and get the most emotional with.

179
00:14:19,620 --> 00:14:20,080
Yeah.

180
00:14:20,460 --> 00:14:24,280
So you'll hear that Best in Show review right to the trailer.

181
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:31,780
Live from Philadelphia, it's the 125th Annual Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show.

182
00:14:31,820 --> 00:14:35,700
3,000 dogs competing for Best in Show.

183
00:14:36,380 --> 00:14:38,940
To think that in some countries these dogs are eaten.

184
00:14:40,460 --> 00:14:42,360
Cokie and I work as a team.

185
00:14:42,580 --> 00:14:44,040
We met at this dance.

186
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,060
I got two left feet.

187
00:14:47,140 --> 00:14:48,000
I thought he was kidding.

188
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,100
But I wasn't.

189
00:14:50,460 --> 00:14:52,300
I was born with two left feet.

190
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,920
Beatrice has been showing signs of depression.

191
00:14:58,140 --> 00:14:59,860
Ever since she saw us having sex.

192
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,960
What would you like to say to Beatrice right now?

193
00:15:01,980 --> 00:15:07,280
I'm sorry you had to see that.

194
00:15:08,940 --> 00:15:11,220
I've been a hairdresser about 14 years.

195
00:15:11,820 --> 00:15:13,180
And I went to a show.

196
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,820
I asked my ex-wife, I said, who's that?

197
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,320
She says, that's Scott.

198
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,020
We got top-blowing, auto house, T-bone.

199
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:19,620
We got everything.

200
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:21,000
So basically, you know, mute.

201
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,560
Leslie and I have an amazing relationship.

202
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,000
People say, oh, but he's so much older than you.

203
00:15:30,020 --> 00:15:30,700
And you know what?

204
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,280
I'm the one having to push him away.

205
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:37,800
We both love soup.

206
00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:42,000
The bloodhound not only has a great nose, but they can talk.

207
00:15:42,200 --> 00:16:00,080
What you doing?

208
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:00,320
And he's saying, I'm ready.

209
00:16:00,380 --> 00:16:00,680
That's when you know he's ready for show.

210
00:16:00,740 --> 00:16:01,040
That goal is that Best in Show ribbon.

211
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:01,360
Actually, poodle means puddle in German.

212
00:16:01,420 --> 00:16:01,580
You want your busy bee?

213
00:16:05,580 --> 00:16:06,120
It's not in here.

214
00:16:06,540 --> 00:16:07,520
You left it at the hotel.

215
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:10,740
That's my favorite.

216
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,020
The miniature schnauzer.

217
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,260
You'd think they'd want to breed them bigger, wouldn't you?

218
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:15,980
Like grapefruits or watermelons.

219
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:16,920
Don't look at the fat head.

220
00:16:16,940 --> 00:16:17,860
Losers are freaks.

221
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:18,960
You look at me!

222
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,200
He went after her like she's made out of ham.

223
00:16:30,772 --> 00:16:32,432
All right, folks, it's that time again.

224
00:16:32,572 --> 00:16:38,172
This is the first review of the night of the Christopher Guest Love Fest, if you will.

225
00:16:39,552 --> 00:16:44,752
People on this review, I'll start going from left to right, as I'm reading at the top there.

226
00:16:46,112 --> 00:16:48,352
You guys may know him from many, many things.

227
00:16:48,372 --> 00:16:49,592
We picked six movies.

228
00:16:50,532 --> 00:16:53,032
Duncan and Bo go to Monte Carlo, stuff like that.

229
00:16:54,172 --> 00:16:54,472
Mr.

230
00:16:54,492 --> 00:16:55,592
Bo Ransdell, how you doing, sir?

231
00:16:56,032 --> 00:16:56,692
Good, good.

232
00:16:57,052 --> 00:17:00,912
Fresh, fresh back from Morocco with Duncan.

233
00:17:01,232 --> 00:17:03,472
Do some Hopin Crosby shit with you and Duncan.

234
00:17:03,492 --> 00:17:05,232
Come on, man, be amazing, yeah.

235
00:17:05,412 --> 00:17:08,292
Yeah, I like to think that's kind of what that show is anyway.

236
00:17:08,492 --> 00:17:16,612
It's without the song and dance numbers, although there's a surprising amount of us singing, but no, thanks for having me on this.

237
00:17:16,632 --> 00:17:19,232
I'm excited to talk about movies.

238
00:17:19,252 --> 00:17:31,512
Like, I never get to talk about comedies, and I'm a big, big fan of, you know, the Christopher Guest oeuvre, you know, starting way back in the, you know, Spinal Tap days.

239
00:17:32,052 --> 00:17:52,732
You know, I was a young man when I first discovered Spinal Tap, and there is something I really love about that kind of brand of really wry, you know, obviously improvisational kind of comedy, of just like, we're going to let an idiot talk into the camera for a minute, and funny things are going to come out of their mouths.

240
00:17:53,272 --> 00:17:56,972
So, yeah, it's a real treat to talk about this stuff.

241
00:17:57,372 --> 00:17:57,732
Great.

242
00:17:58,352 --> 00:17:59,772
Next in line, Iris is here.

243
00:17:59,792 --> 00:18:00,452
How are you doing, girl?

244
00:18:00,972 --> 00:18:01,832
I'm doing well.

245
00:18:01,852 --> 00:18:02,752
How are you all doing?

246
00:18:03,492 --> 00:18:04,312
Dandy.

247
00:18:05,312 --> 00:18:06,212
Dandy, dandy.

248
00:18:06,692 --> 00:18:07,532
Excellent.

249
00:18:08,412 --> 00:18:09,712
And also with us is Suzanne.

250
00:18:09,732 --> 00:18:10,432
How are you doing, girl?

251
00:18:11,272 --> 00:18:20,132
I'm talking about my fat cat and my big dogs, but I am doing really, really well, and I absolutely love these movies.

252
00:18:20,312 --> 00:18:27,232
I, he surrounded himself with some of the best actors, so it's just fun to talk about these.

253
00:18:27,552 --> 00:18:36,792
And finally, last but certainly not least, from many, many things you'll hear in your ears, because he's a podcasting whore, almost like myself, you know.

254
00:18:37,212 --> 00:18:37,532
Mr.

255
00:18:37,552 --> 00:18:37,932
Venom's here.

256
00:18:37,952 --> 00:18:38,532
How are you doing, sir?

257
00:18:38,972 --> 00:18:41,992
Greetings and salutations, guestovians.

258
00:18:42,272 --> 00:18:48,412
And yes, I have coined that term because there is not an all-encompassing term for Christopher Guest fans.

259
00:18:48,432 --> 00:18:53,612
So if you are a Christopher Guest fan, you are a guestovian and you are one of my people.

260
00:18:53,632 --> 00:18:54,192
Good on you.

261
00:18:54,552 --> 00:18:55,112
I like it.

262
00:18:56,032 --> 00:18:59,052
I'm going to start using it as of this recording.

263
00:18:59,272 --> 00:18:59,992
Very cool.

264
00:19:00,312 --> 00:19:01,512
Make that stick, y'all.

265
00:19:03,372 --> 00:19:08,212
Today, tonight, we're going to talk about Best in Show from the year 2000.

266
00:19:10,352 --> 00:19:23,072
A lot of the same cast you've seen in these other films, but this is a film in which Christopher Guest and his cast of Xanny characters apparently made a dog show from the ground up because they couldn't use a real one.

267
00:19:23,092 --> 00:19:35,312
And yeah, these people are all obsessed with their dogs and this, this, this, this show, the Mayflower Kennel Show, I remember it was called, if it was called, this is Mayflower for sure.

268
00:19:35,812 --> 00:19:41,392
And they've all come together to show their dogs off and show how crazy they are as dog people.

269
00:19:41,432 --> 00:19:43,852
And we'll kick a cast right now.

270
00:19:44,672 --> 00:19:48,512
Eugene Levy is back, and so is Kathar Harrah as Jared Cooke Fleck.

271
00:19:49,452 --> 00:19:56,172
John Michael Higgins makes his debut in these films as Scott, Scott Donlin, I'm sorry.

272
00:19:56,792 --> 00:20:01,512
Michael McKeon's back as Stefan Vanderhoof, his partner with the Shih Tzus.

273
00:20:02,552 --> 00:20:05,532
Michael Hitchcock is back again as Hamilton Swan.

274
00:20:05,552 --> 00:20:08,892
Parker Posey is back as Meg Swan with the braces.

275
00:20:08,972 --> 00:20:10,152
We'll talk about that, I'm sure.

276
00:20:10,532 --> 00:20:16,232
Oh my gosh, Jennifer Coolidge makes her debut as Sherry Ann Cabot.

277
00:20:16,652 --> 00:20:18,872
Jane Lynch makes her debut as Christy Cummings.

278
00:20:18,892 --> 00:20:20,572
A lot of debuts, it's pretty cool.

279
00:20:21,332 --> 00:20:28,252
Christopher Guest is back again, of course, acting in his own movies as Harlan Pepper, the owner of The Hound and the Master of Nuts, apparently.

280
00:20:28,652 --> 00:20:32,012
Larry Miller's back, being fucking hilarious in this movie as well.

281
00:20:32,572 --> 00:20:35,032
Fred Willard, Ed Bagley Jr.

282
00:20:35,052 --> 00:20:36,112
shows up in this movie.

283
00:20:37,392 --> 00:20:39,692
Bob Balaban is back again.

284
00:20:39,712 --> 00:20:45,212
Oh, I have so much love for this film, but probably, you know, more than any other one.

285
00:20:45,232 --> 00:20:51,352
It's probably kick it to Bo first and ask him, what do you think about this film, sir?

286
00:20:51,912 --> 00:20:53,352
Oh, I love this movie.

287
00:20:53,372 --> 00:20:55,552
In fact, it hasn't been that long ago that I watched.

288
00:20:55,552 --> 00:21:01,412
I do a movie night about once every month, six weeks, something like that at the house.

289
00:21:01,432 --> 00:21:05,192
I'm like, make a big dinner for some friends of mine and I.

290
00:21:05,632 --> 00:21:12,532
And we watch a movie, usually downstairs, I've got like a big 100 inch screen and projector and that kind of thing.

291
00:21:12,552 --> 00:21:14,152
So like, really do it up.

292
00:21:14,732 --> 00:21:18,732
And it was within the last six months that we did Best in Show.

293
00:21:18,752 --> 00:21:21,792
I just adore it.

294
00:21:21,812 --> 00:21:23,652
I think it's incredibly funny.

295
00:21:24,472 --> 00:21:43,912
There, the moment you see like the Eugene Levy high school picture, which happens fairly early on, but when he's talking about how he used to be a little bit of a Casanova himself and they show that picture and it is the most like off putting hilarious picture of any human being ever.

296
00:21:44,212 --> 00:21:45,992
I lose my shit.

297
00:21:46,112 --> 00:21:49,892
It is one of my favorite like visual jokes ever.

298
00:21:49,912 --> 00:22:07,912
Yeah, I mean, it's just one of those movies that every time you watch it, there's some other little nook and cranny of it that will sort of tickle your funny bone, which is, I think a phrase first used by Lawrence Welk, but yeah, it's just wonderful.

299
00:22:07,932 --> 00:22:12,092
Like it's just, it's crammed with little subtle jokes.

300
00:22:12,572 --> 00:22:34,212
And this time around watching it the other day in preparation for this, I think it was because he passed away not so long ago, but just watching Larry Miller talking about working as, you know, a hostage negotiator or a crisis counselor and saying, oh, that's the thing.

301
00:22:34,332 --> 00:22:37,672
They all jump.

302
00:22:38,032 --> 00:22:39,572
It's just hysterical.

303
00:22:39,972 --> 00:23:17,292
It's maybe my favorite, like accepting Spinal Tap, which I have a real soft spot for, but in terms of, you know, the gestovian set of films, that I think this is my favorite because partly it's because I relate to it because I'm, you know, I love dogs and I don't go quite as far as, although I would probably say I was in the Harland Pepper range of dog ownership, but I don't go so far as some of the others, but it like, I like the fact that the movie also never punches down at these characters.

304
00:23:17,312 --> 00:23:36,592
Like it has a lot of affection for these people, even as they're doing ridiculous things, that it seems like Christopher Guest as the director, as well as the actors who are kind of inhabiting these characters, that they all have, as silly as everything is, there's still a lot of affection and joy and that kind of thing.

305
00:23:36,612 --> 00:23:40,872
And I think it's hard to walk away from this movie, like feeling bad about these people.

306
00:23:40,952 --> 00:23:45,292
They're incredibly silly, but they're also kind of wonderful and lovable.

307
00:23:45,312 --> 00:23:50,752
I like the book end of, you know, Parker Posey and her husband at the therapist.

308
00:23:50,932 --> 00:23:59,112
And you know, what this therapist must be thinking of just like these stupid fucking, that I am absolutely taken for a ride.

309
00:23:59,132 --> 00:24:01,572
But even with that, sorry, I'll shut up about it a second.

310
00:24:01,592 --> 00:24:07,552
But even with that therapy stuff, like even that you kind of understand like, oh, they're not really talking about the dog.

311
00:24:07,572 --> 00:24:09,752
They're talking about themselves and their relationship.

312
00:24:09,752 --> 00:24:20,352
And you know, this movie is actually, you know, kind of getting at some stuff about the way that people use their dogs as surrogates for their own emotion and their own feelings.

313
00:24:20,372 --> 00:24:27,172
And like it all comes down to Fred Willard being like, now do these dogs have any idea what's going on around them?

314
00:24:27,172 --> 00:24:31,692
And of course not, you know, that this is all for the people who own the dogs.

315
00:24:32,012 --> 00:24:34,192
And it's terrific, man.

316
00:24:34,212 --> 00:24:36,052
This movie is the absolute best.

317
00:24:36,152 --> 00:24:37,012
I love this movie.

318
00:24:37,392 --> 00:24:42,752
I forgot I was watching, but there was a comment made by Neil that dogs don't wear the sweater because he likes it.

319
00:24:42,772 --> 00:24:45,192
He's doing it to please you or something like that, he says.

320
00:24:46,272 --> 00:24:46,652
Right.

321
00:24:48,012 --> 00:24:55,392
And like his partner, Fred Willard, he's doing the color and the other guy is kind of the expert.

322
00:24:55,552 --> 00:25:07,172
But the other guy having to kind of like, well, they know that they're special dogs, I guess, that it's just all this equivocation about, this is, of course, it's purely for the owners.

323
00:25:07,192 --> 00:25:11,492
These dogs couldn't give a shit less as long as they're getting food and pets.

324
00:25:11,512 --> 00:25:12,192
They don't care.

325
00:25:12,552 --> 00:25:13,772
So it's wonderful.

326
00:25:13,792 --> 00:25:18,532
Because that head got caught in the gargoyle's mouth and it popped off like a grape.

327
00:25:18,832 --> 00:25:25,052
You know, that reminds me of, do you remember when we were at the lake?

328
00:25:26,772 --> 00:25:37,232
Dude, Eugene Levy trying to, trying to get back at Larry Miller by saying, how about I just talk about your wife?

329
00:25:37,252 --> 00:25:39,612
And she's got big, luscious melon breast.

330
00:25:39,932 --> 00:25:42,152
And her reaction being like, thank you.

331
00:25:43,832 --> 00:25:44,952
It's just the best.

332
00:25:45,132 --> 00:25:48,692
Like I said, everywhere you look at this movie, somebody is doing something.

333
00:25:48,952 --> 00:25:51,592
Oh my gosh, Suzanne.

334
00:25:52,632 --> 00:25:53,912
Oh, God.

335
00:25:54,472 --> 00:25:59,172
This is one of those movies that I end up going back to every few months.

336
00:25:59,172 --> 00:26:04,152
Just if I need, you know, basically it's comfort food for my brain.

337
00:26:04,592 --> 00:26:06,832
I, Bo nailed it.

338
00:26:06,852 --> 00:26:13,692
I mean, there's so many, even after numerous viewings, there's still like little things that always pop out.

339
00:26:13,752 --> 00:26:20,772
And I think, I love every character here, but Parker Posey does some of my favorite things.

340
00:26:21,072 --> 00:26:26,692
And the psychiatrist's office with Beatrice, the, that poor dog.

341
00:26:26,712 --> 00:26:32,912
I really feel bad for the dog because she is owned by two insane people.

342
00:26:33,392 --> 00:26:35,572
And well, we got this book.

343
00:26:35,752 --> 00:26:41,592
And it's just the tone that she uses when she's telling this little story to their dog, Shraink.

344
00:26:42,132 --> 00:26:45,472
And Catherine O'Hara is just hilarious as Cookie.

345
00:26:46,052 --> 00:26:50,512
And I mean, I remember the first time I saw it and everyone's like, Cookie Guggenheimer?

346
00:26:50,852 --> 00:26:51,752
Is that you?

347
00:26:51,772 --> 00:26:54,332
I don't bang that many waitresses.

348
00:26:54,352 --> 00:26:56,912
I bang a lot of waitresses, but you were the best.

349
00:26:56,932 --> 00:27:02,532
And it's just that continuous joke throughout the movie that just always makes me laugh in her.

350
00:27:02,872 --> 00:27:07,732
She would have won the Ministry of Silly Walks when she hurt her knee when they were showing Winky.

351
00:27:08,052 --> 00:27:13,692
And I just, you know, packing seven, seven to 10 kimonos for a two-day trip.

352
00:27:13,692 --> 00:27:17,692
That was, I packed 10 pairs of shoes for four days and I wore one pair.

353
00:27:17,852 --> 00:27:20,532
I understand the whole had to bring all of the kimonos.

354
00:27:20,552 --> 00:27:21,452
You just never know.

355
00:27:21,672 --> 00:27:28,232
Everybody in this movie was absolutely outstanding at what they bring to the table.

356
00:27:28,332 --> 00:27:30,492
There is so much talent.

357
00:27:30,532 --> 00:27:36,072
It's just overflowing in this movie and everybody gets their moment to shine.

358
00:27:36,092 --> 00:27:43,472
It doesn't spend too much time on any character, but everybody has their moment.

359
00:27:43,832 --> 00:27:49,332
And I think Jane Lynch and Jennifer Coolidge are just funny.

360
00:27:49,772 --> 00:27:57,192
Jennifer Coolidge with that whole, well, they came in and took this poor little kennel and she's like, it's a shit box.

361
00:27:57,632 --> 00:28:00,012
And brought it up to the state of the art facility.

362
00:28:00,492 --> 00:28:03,072
And Rhapsody has two mommies.

363
00:28:03,152 --> 00:28:09,632
I think the first time I saw this movie, I spit something all the way across the room when that happened.

364
00:28:10,012 --> 00:28:11,172
It was way too funny.

365
00:28:11,192 --> 00:28:17,992
And you know, well, her and her husband, they do, they can talk or not talk all night and they both love soup.

366
00:28:18,472 --> 00:28:22,032
I was going to say, not to interrupt you, but what she says, we have a lot in common.

367
00:28:22,052 --> 00:28:23,312
I mean, we both love soup.

368
00:28:25,412 --> 00:28:26,812
Just devastates me.

369
00:28:26,872 --> 00:28:27,292
Yeah.

370
00:28:27,632 --> 00:28:28,352
Oh, I know.

371
00:28:28,372 --> 00:28:30,692
We can talk and not talk all night.

372
00:28:31,472 --> 00:28:32,952
I kind of got you there.

373
00:28:33,112 --> 00:28:40,312
We both love snow peas, but there's so many wonderful elements to this.

374
00:28:40,592 --> 00:28:48,452
And I swear to God, I sometimes think I side more with the dogs, except Harlan Pepper's dog and Wanky.

375
00:28:48,552 --> 00:28:55,832
Those two, those two dogs made, they have got, and oh, yes, Vanderhoof and, oh God, I can't remember his name now.

376
00:28:56,052 --> 00:29:01,832
Scott doing calendars of iconic scenes from movies of the forties and fifties.

377
00:29:01,972 --> 00:29:17,732
It's just everybody, they really took on these personas and brought the whole thing to life in a way, there's very few filmmakers, we are custodians, that very few filmmakers ever possibly could.

378
00:29:18,052 --> 00:29:27,592
And I like the fact that he keeps it, his cast fairly, I mean, just once again, brimming with talent, but he keeps everything on a manageable level.

379
00:29:28,052 --> 00:29:33,972
But I just can't even say how much thank you, Mel, how much I love this movie.

380
00:29:34,612 --> 00:29:35,012
Cool.

381
00:29:35,912 --> 00:29:36,572
Venom next.

382
00:29:37,112 --> 00:29:41,832
All right, man, what can I say about this movie that hasn't been said, this movie is near flawless.

383
00:29:42,232 --> 00:29:44,612
There is not a bad performance in this film.

384
00:29:44,912 --> 00:29:55,092
Christopher Guest really knows how to pick his actors, you know, incredibly funny people, but just the fact that they can ad lib, you know, three quarters of a film is spectacular.

385
00:29:56,052 --> 00:30:04,912
I myself, for those who don't know, I probably mentioned it on the last Christopher Guest show, but I'm married to a veterinarian, have been for, we just celebrated our 26th anniversary.

386
00:30:06,272 --> 00:30:06,712
Thank you.

387
00:30:06,732 --> 00:30:07,652
Thank you.

388
00:30:07,692 --> 00:30:08,572
So I love dogs.

389
00:30:08,592 --> 00:30:09,352
I mean, that's a given.

390
00:30:09,372 --> 00:30:10,472
I love animals in general.

391
00:30:11,112 --> 00:30:13,512
And this movie just really speaks to me.

392
00:30:13,672 --> 00:30:23,632
I've actually been to a dog show in Pittsburgh with my wife, like a much smaller one, honestly, nothing Westminster or cruft size, but just a great experience.

393
00:30:23,932 --> 00:30:38,812
And, you know, when I was talking about this movie on the last episode about these Christopher Guest movies and how they speak to me and how maybe Waiting for Guffman didn't speak to me as loudly as something like a Best in Show or A Mighty Wind, and definitely not Spinal Tap as, you know, I am a big old metalhead.

394
00:30:40,092 --> 00:31:00,312
It just kind of speaks to just the brilliance of Eugene and Christopher and, you know, how they're able to put this movie together and the people in this film, my God, it just just star after star after star with and the fact that he can bring in top name comedians to do like one line is just so epic.

395
00:31:00,332 --> 00:31:19,952
I mean, Will Sasso, yeah, Will Sasso is not an A-list actor by any stretch, but in the late 90s, he was a big name because of his work in film and television to come in and do basically two lines and one of them being just one of the funniest goddamn deliveries in this film, just so much quality in this film to speak of.

396
00:31:20,292 --> 00:31:31,992
And then the pièce de résistance, the cherry on top of my spectacular comedy Sunday, Fred goddamn Willard is, I'm sorry, Fred Willard is a goddamn treasure.

397
00:31:32,452 --> 00:31:38,452
He makes this movie, at least the dog show part of this film, so incredibly entertaining.

398
00:31:38,732 --> 00:31:48,352
Who else can do color commentary at a dog show and bring up countries that eat dogs and be completely oblivious to it and get away with it?

399
00:31:48,472 --> 00:31:51,112
I'm sorry, just it is stellar.

400
00:31:51,392 --> 00:31:55,352
May that man hold a high seat in Valhalla because he fucking deserves it.

401
00:31:56,572 --> 00:31:59,932
But I mean, like I said, what else can be said about this film?

402
00:31:59,952 --> 00:32:05,312
Bob Balaban, potentially one of the best straight men in history, in film history.

403
00:32:05,392 --> 00:32:20,092
I mean, the fact that he's not even trying to be funny and somehow he tickles me in every scene he's in, it just speaks to the comedic genius that's just oozing off of this film from so many sources, writing, directing, performances.

404
00:32:20,192 --> 00:32:21,192
Even the songs.

405
00:32:21,252 --> 00:32:22,752
Oh my God, the songs.

406
00:32:22,772 --> 00:32:24,132
God Loves a Terrier?

407
00:32:24,152 --> 00:32:24,832
Come on now.

408
00:32:24,972 --> 00:32:35,052
I would imagine God loves all dogs, but still to have to hear that song about God loving one breed of dog, excuse me, just absolutely stellar.

409
00:32:35,072 --> 00:32:43,112
The songs that Cookie and her husband sing at the end, too, when they're recording the album, just, oh my God, so great.

410
00:32:43,152 --> 00:32:51,292
And you know, unlike, excuse me, unlike the Cabots in this movie, my wife and I actually do run out of things to not talk about.

411
00:32:51,352 --> 00:32:55,332
So it does turn into a little bit of a problem in our marriage, but it's okay.

412
00:32:55,572 --> 00:33:00,312
Someday we'll have that ability to not talk about all sorts of topics.

413
00:33:00,492 --> 00:33:03,152
And that's when I'll know we've made it as a married couple.

414
00:33:03,312 --> 00:33:07,632
But yeah, this movie, my God, just an absolute 10 out of 10.

415
00:33:07,632 --> 00:33:09,952
Oops, sorry, it's a spoiler, sorry.

416
00:33:10,232 --> 00:33:12,452
But just, I adore this film.

417
00:33:12,472 --> 00:33:16,592
I honestly, as I've said on the last episode, I love Christopher Guest.

418
00:33:16,712 --> 00:33:19,772
Anything he's done, I will happily consume.

419
00:33:20,252 --> 00:33:32,692
And this run of movies from Waiting for Guffman to For Your Considerations, I got some of the most stellar comedic films put together in a row from a writer-director team.

420
00:33:32,712 --> 00:33:36,632
So yeah, just a stellar film that I will never ever get sick of.

421
00:33:36,652 --> 00:33:43,952
I just watched it last night and big surprise, watched it for probably the 50th time, still ended the night with a stomach ache.

422
00:33:43,952 --> 00:33:45,532
I was laughing so goddamn hard.

423
00:33:45,552 --> 00:33:46,872
So yeah, spectacular.

424
00:33:47,172 --> 00:33:47,612
Iris.

425
00:33:47,632 --> 00:33:56,512
Just to jump in on what you said about Fred Willard when she's judging and she goes, the female judge goes up in cups, one of the dog's balls.

426
00:33:56,672 --> 00:33:59,632
He's like, oh God, I wouldn't want to go on a date with her.

427
00:33:59,652 --> 00:34:02,192
I don't know how she'd judge me.

428
00:34:03,932 --> 00:34:17,012
When he's speaking of Bob Aliband, when he's interviewing Bob Aliband and is talking about the Mayflower landing in the West Indies, he's like, well, I don't think that's right.

429
00:34:17,032 --> 00:34:18,952
Yeah, well, we'll leave that to the editors.

430
00:34:18,972 --> 00:34:20,852
They'll clean that up in the office.

431
00:34:21,372 --> 00:34:33,372
Oh, my God, like, as soon as this movie starts to lull even the slightest bit, Fred Willard shows up and just hits the booster rockets and makes the back end of this even funnier than the front.

432
00:34:33,652 --> 00:34:34,472
100%.

433
00:34:36,112 --> 00:34:41,672
Well, for me, this is my favorite of the guest movies.

434
00:34:42,872 --> 00:34:44,052
It's a barrel of laughs.

435
00:34:46,272 --> 00:34:54,852
Just Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy, when the card, the fucking credit card.

436
00:34:54,912 --> 00:34:56,592
That's the good one.

437
00:34:56,892 --> 00:34:57,832
Yeah, it is, right?

438
00:34:58,952 --> 00:35:00,492
Wait, wait, like, two notices.

439
00:35:00,512 --> 00:35:02,412
You tell them it's two notices.

440
00:35:03,092 --> 00:35:05,632
Well, he says it's been two notices.

441
00:35:06,092 --> 00:35:08,692
And then they start pulling cash out.

442
00:35:08,712 --> 00:35:09,652
It's like $34.

443
00:35:12,352 --> 00:35:38,952
But then again, I mean, the dude is so nice by just taking them and going, well, you know, we can bring a cotton here and you can spend the night, which is basically the room that he already gave you a tour of where all the cleaning stuff is because they know they're going to have dogs, which is another great bit because you have the nature's miracle bottle for the smaller dogs.

444
00:35:38,972 --> 00:35:49,452
And then, you know, this huge lemon X for, you know, the Great Danes and then the nuclear power that that that whole bit right there is hilarious.

445
00:35:49,472 --> 00:35:55,172
And of course, when Parker Posey is, I think Venom and I talked about this last time.

446
00:35:57,372 --> 00:36:01,252
She starts accusing the maid of taking the toy.

447
00:36:01,672 --> 00:36:03,012
I'm going to bring INS.

448
00:36:05,412 --> 00:36:07,972
Oh, gosh, she was a Karen before the term was coined.

449
00:36:08,112 --> 00:36:09,472
Right, right.

450
00:36:09,472 --> 00:36:10,592
It was great.

451
00:36:10,752 --> 00:36:11,772
It's not a B.

452
00:36:11,792 --> 00:36:12,732
That's a parrot.

453
00:36:14,472 --> 00:36:17,872
It's just, oh, my gosh, it's just so, so funny.

454
00:36:18,112 --> 00:36:45,892
And of course, you know, how can you not love Scott and Vanderhoof, you know, it's they play off of each other so fucking well, and the way he carries himself and he's he reminds me of that inappropriate twink that a bear would have is basically it, you know, having to reign them in a little bit like, haha, you're funny.

455
00:36:45,912 --> 00:36:46,612
Yeah, you're cute.

456
00:36:46,632 --> 00:36:50,552
You just calm down a little bit, but it's just fucking hilarious.

457
00:36:50,572 --> 00:36:53,292
Just the things he says like the poor butcher guy.

458
00:36:55,352 --> 00:36:56,752
So in other words, me.

459
00:36:58,992 --> 00:37:01,712
But he's like, why don't you pull out a pepperoni stick?

460
00:37:07,852 --> 00:37:11,452
And this poor guy started like, wait, what are you like?

461
00:37:13,872 --> 00:37:14,392
Oh my God.

462
00:37:14,412 --> 00:37:17,492
And just all of his comments are just beautiful and lovely.

463
00:37:19,012 --> 00:37:28,792
And I agree with Suzanne, cookie fleck, when she busts her ankle or knee or whatever.

464
00:37:28,812 --> 00:37:32,872
She's fucking rocking when they've already won.

465
00:37:33,392 --> 00:37:35,492
She's trying to get to her husband.

466
00:37:37,092 --> 00:37:37,812
Oh my God.

467
00:37:38,432 --> 00:37:39,192
Oh shit.

468
00:37:39,832 --> 00:37:42,132
I was, oh my God, I was cracking up.

469
00:37:42,492 --> 00:37:44,732
I'm sitting in the office and I'm cracking up.

470
00:37:44,732 --> 00:37:46,612
And I know Lynn can hear me.

471
00:37:46,732 --> 00:37:50,112
And she's probably thinking, what the fuck is she watching in there?

472
00:37:50,412 --> 00:37:51,092
But yeah.

473
00:37:51,312 --> 00:37:51,852
And you know what?

474
00:37:51,872 --> 00:37:54,252
I've had her sit down and watch this movie with me.

475
00:37:54,712 --> 00:38:11,132
And yeah, she kind of just stares at me sometimes when I'm laughing at some shit because, or even before stuff happens, you know, because Venom, I'm sure, you know, you know something funny is coming and you already, you're laughing already because you're already thinking of it.

476
00:38:12,652 --> 00:38:18,692
Like Sasso when he's talking to them and he's like, so are you going to stop and fish?

477
00:38:18,712 --> 00:38:22,392
And he's like, no, we're not fishing.

478
00:38:22,752 --> 00:38:29,972
His character is so funny and Sasso is on the screen for like what, maybe three or four minutes.

479
00:38:30,272 --> 00:38:31,512
And this guy is hilarious.

480
00:38:32,292 --> 00:38:36,972
He used to play on something on a show here in Seattle.

481
00:38:37,672 --> 00:38:39,952
It was kind of like Saturday Night Live.

482
00:38:41,592 --> 00:38:44,332
Yeah, well, no, even before MADtv.

483
00:38:44,612 --> 00:38:47,092
It was just here based in Seattle itself.

484
00:38:47,452 --> 00:38:50,472
And Bill Nye, the science guy, was also on it.

485
00:38:51,572 --> 00:38:53,532
And it's like an old show.

486
00:38:53,552 --> 00:38:56,772
And this guy used to crack me all the fucking time.

487
00:38:57,112 --> 00:38:59,132
And even on MADtv, he was hilarious.

488
00:38:59,512 --> 00:39:15,292
But yeah, this whole movie in itself, I just love how tongue in cheek it is, even though, and you know, it's kind of like Willard is asking those questions that, you know, you kind of have when you are watching a dog show, because I like to watch dog shows.

489
00:39:15,652 --> 00:39:19,012
And I do have those questions like, well, you know, why do they do this?

490
00:39:19,032 --> 00:39:20,192
Or why do they tuck them here?

491
00:39:20,212 --> 00:39:21,332
Or why do they pull them there?

492
00:39:21,712 --> 00:39:25,172
Or why do they pick them up by their tail and throw?

493
00:39:25,432 --> 00:39:33,372
It's, you know, it was just funny to watch because it's kind of like, here's this guy, Fred Willard, who is, you know, just dude off the street.

494
00:39:34,112 --> 00:39:43,212
And he's paired up with Pepper, who is obviously a British, very well, you know, very proper type of guy.

495
00:39:44,252 --> 00:39:49,952
Kudos to him about not breaking, well, from what we saw, what's been edited.

496
00:39:51,072 --> 00:39:52,212
He did not crack up.

497
00:39:52,632 --> 00:39:57,712
Every time Willard opened his mouth, man, because I do every time.

498
00:39:57,992 --> 00:39:59,792
So it's hilarious.

499
00:39:59,812 --> 00:40:00,532
It's funny.

500
00:40:00,952 --> 00:40:02,332
It's really out there.

501
00:40:03,032 --> 00:40:06,232
But it kind of like, it's also feels homey.

502
00:40:06,252 --> 00:40:12,092
Like these are people that you either have in your circle of friends or coworkers.

503
00:40:12,312 --> 00:40:14,712
So that I think that's why it's just so intriguing.

504
00:40:15,012 --> 00:40:16,692
But yeah, that's, that's my two cents.

505
00:40:17,012 --> 00:40:20,292
No, this, this film is filled with a lot of little things.

506
00:40:20,312 --> 00:40:35,732
Like you guys mentioned the part where they're at the party and Harlan is talking to the two, two Parker Posey and her husband about flies and they can give a fuck about fishing.

507
00:40:35,752 --> 00:40:36,672
What's the worst of these?

508
00:40:36,692 --> 00:40:38,372
Look at you're gonna fall asleep standing there.

509
00:40:38,392 --> 00:40:39,972
He just keeps going.

510
00:40:39,992 --> 00:40:43,732
I had to break the tension by asking him what he was wearing.

511
00:40:45,672 --> 00:40:47,712
So is that J.Crew?

512
00:40:47,732 --> 00:40:48,992
Let me look.

513
00:40:49,012 --> 00:40:49,192
Yeah.

514
00:40:52,452 --> 00:40:56,032
Well, J.Crew is their kind of their their thing.

515
00:40:56,272 --> 00:40:59,492
An entire relationship based on catalogs.

516
00:40:59,612 --> 00:41:00,352
My God.

517
00:41:01,252 --> 00:41:05,652
I love that whole scene where they were talking about the first time they saw each other.

518
00:41:05,932 --> 00:41:14,552
And you can see in that scene that they're they're just totally like playing tennis of like, oh, remember that we were in the Starbucks?

519
00:41:15,212 --> 00:41:20,812
And it's it's just watching them, yes, and each other through that scene until they get to.

520
00:41:20,832 --> 00:41:26,012
And then we would just go into the Starbucks and we would look at the catalog.

521
00:41:26,012 --> 00:41:27,852
And I would ask you, what's new?

522
00:41:28,212 --> 00:41:32,912
Like, and you would pick out the things that were new in that that edition of the catalog.

523
00:41:33,032 --> 00:41:37,512
And you can tell that this is just them completely improving all of it.

524
00:41:37,812 --> 00:41:44,812
And and, you know, like you were saying, the fact that they don't lose their shit is a skill unto itself.

525
00:41:45,532 --> 00:41:47,912
You know, it's one thing to invent that stuff.

526
00:41:47,932 --> 00:41:54,332
It's another thing entirely to not lose your focus and just crack up.

527
00:41:54,792 --> 00:42:07,192
And another, you know, the one thing that's interesting, because you have a gay couple and kind of a lesbian couple, even though it doesn't begin that way, but it's kind of clear that Jane Lynch is into her.

528
00:42:08,132 --> 00:42:22,512
And for it being a movie in the year 2000, like, yes, Scott's kind of, you know, like Kyra said, like this ridiculous tweet character, but it doesn't treat those relationships any differently than any other relationship in the movie.

529
00:42:22,772 --> 00:42:29,272
And it's weird, not weird, but I mean, it's just kind of nice to see that the movie doesn't have a stance on that.

530
00:42:29,272 --> 00:42:32,432
It's not, there was nothing political about it, I suppose.

531
00:42:32,452 --> 00:42:39,052
It's just kind of like for a movie that is 20 years old, it's strangely progressive in the way that it's gay and lesbian carrot.

532
00:42:39,052 --> 00:42:41,432
Of just like, oh yeah, that's just, yeah, that's who they are.

533
00:42:41,612 --> 00:42:51,892
And vice versa, too, you know, because at the same party scene, you know, Jerry meets our gay couple and they're just in love with this fucking square.

534
00:42:51,912 --> 00:42:54,192
This white bread square that they met.

535
00:42:54,512 --> 00:42:57,072
And, you know, he's getting right in the mix with them.

536
00:42:57,132 --> 00:43:07,812
He's describing, again, super slow shit, the red stitching he did himself on those pants, you know, and it's just it's it's crazy.

537
00:43:07,832 --> 00:43:09,212
And here is like, who did that?

538
00:43:09,232 --> 00:43:09,852
You did?

539
00:43:10,432 --> 00:43:13,432
It's oh, it's watching this again.

540
00:43:13,452 --> 00:43:17,872
It was one of those because I don't think I'd watched it since I watched all of Schitt's Creek.

541
00:43:18,312 --> 00:43:24,432
And it was fun to see like, oh, yeah, they're playing completely different characters together.

542
00:43:24,452 --> 00:43:26,972
It's like they've been doing this for so long.

543
00:43:27,092 --> 00:43:30,092
They're you know, it's no wonder that's as good as it is.

544
00:43:30,092 --> 00:43:34,912
It's not a, you know, guestovian film, but it is certainly in the ballpark.

545
00:43:34,932 --> 00:43:39,212
Because Cookie had dozens of boyfriends, hundreds, hundreds of boyfriends.

546
00:43:39,912 --> 00:43:40,452
At once.

547
00:43:40,472 --> 00:43:43,452
And she's so deadpan when she says it.

548
00:43:44,112 --> 00:43:44,632
Hundreds.

549
00:43:45,612 --> 00:43:57,252
Every time it happens though, I think it's at the same party scene to where he met another one of Cookie's ex-boyfriends and he just has that head tilt down.

550
00:43:58,112 --> 00:44:01,312
Like he's so crestfallen like another one, another one, seriously.

551
00:44:01,332 --> 00:44:11,612
A guy who, out of the way to the dog show, was going to stop at the Philadelphia Cream Cheese Factory just to go visit it.

552
00:44:11,992 --> 00:44:14,112
He sees that white bread, he's going to do that.

553
00:44:16,172 --> 00:44:17,552
Oh man.

554
00:44:18,032 --> 00:44:20,852
It's funny standing here and listening to us talk about this.

555
00:44:20,872 --> 00:44:23,992
It really speaks to the brilliance of the ad libs here.

556
00:44:24,012 --> 00:44:28,592
Because I don't know if anybody's noticed, but we've spent half this review just quoting the movie.

557
00:44:28,592 --> 00:44:33,332
I've never done that as a podcaster, and I am having an absolute blast.

558
00:44:33,332 --> 00:44:35,312
It's hard not to, it's hard not to, you know.

559
00:44:35,332 --> 00:44:36,332
It's hard not to.

560
00:44:36,612 --> 00:44:37,852
Comedy gold, my friend.

561
00:44:38,072 --> 00:44:44,452
Between this and Spinal Tap, I swear I've had conversations in this language.

562
00:44:45,032 --> 00:44:51,972
I mean, the little, again, you guys mentioned Will Sasso, but he's still driving away and he's still convinced he's going to go fishing.

563
00:44:53,372 --> 00:44:57,372
He's gawking at the dog, saying, who's going to catch a big fish?

564
00:44:57,412 --> 00:44:58,492
Who's going to catch a big fish?

565
00:45:00,152 --> 00:45:01,272
He plays these characters.

566
00:45:01,392 --> 00:45:05,352
I'll endorse this film, but not as if it's a good film.

567
00:45:05,752 --> 00:45:15,892
But if you haven't seen that Three Stooges film, just for their performances, I think you should do yourself a favor, because Will Sasso is curly in that movie, and it's kind of wonderful.

568
00:45:15,912 --> 00:45:23,232
I can make a couple of friends of mine laugh just by saying, peanut nut.

569
00:45:23,572 --> 00:45:24,072
Yeah.

570
00:45:26,892 --> 00:45:27,372
Can we?

571
00:45:29,892 --> 00:45:31,312
I was just going to name another nut.

572
00:45:33,192 --> 00:45:34,272
He's driving his momma crazy.

573
00:45:34,292 --> 00:45:34,972
Macadamia nut.

574
00:45:35,332 --> 00:45:35,652
What?

575
00:45:35,672 --> 00:45:36,812
Pistachio nut.

576
00:45:37,452 --> 00:45:39,012
A macadamia nut.

577
00:45:40,532 --> 00:45:40,932
That's good.

578
00:45:40,952 --> 00:45:42,452
I mean, we're crazy.

579
00:45:43,252 --> 00:45:47,792
Ultimately, Harlan Pepper is an expert on hounds, fly fishing and nuts.

580
00:45:47,832 --> 00:45:49,292
And really, what else is there?

581
00:45:49,472 --> 00:45:50,872
And ventriloquy.

582
00:45:51,212 --> 00:45:52,112
Oh, I guess.

583
00:45:52,352 --> 00:45:53,772
That's a new talent, though.

584
00:45:56,512 --> 00:46:04,652
So, can we talk about how beautiful the relationship between the actors and the dogs were?

585
00:46:04,992 --> 00:46:05,692
Absolutely.

586
00:46:06,092 --> 00:46:11,412
Because in a way, at first I thought, are these actual their dogs?

587
00:46:11,912 --> 00:46:12,632
But they're not.

588
00:46:12,652 --> 00:46:14,672
They are actual Canadian champions.

589
00:46:15,512 --> 00:46:16,932
They belong to other people.

590
00:46:17,392 --> 00:46:26,712
And of course, the judges, some of the judges, were actual judges there, of course, except for the very last judge.

591
00:46:28,152 --> 00:46:33,492
And it's kind of interesting to see that relationship they had with the dogs.

592
00:46:33,512 --> 00:46:36,492
It's almost like that dog belonged to them.

593
00:46:36,512 --> 00:46:45,752
And it always amazes me every time I see and watch this movie, especially the Shih Tzu's and Wink.

594
00:46:46,332 --> 00:46:48,492
It's almost like they're bonded.

595
00:46:48,792 --> 00:46:59,892
And I'm sure at the end of the filming of this, that the actors had a hard time saying goodbye to those dogs, because it just looked like the relationship that they had, a true relationship with that dog.

596
00:47:00,192 --> 00:47:11,492
And I kind of wonder if they kind of like maybe borrowed the dog for a while and had the, you know, had the actors and the dogs kind of like live together and stuff.

597
00:47:11,532 --> 00:47:13,892
So they could develop that bond.

598
00:47:13,892 --> 00:47:14,992
But I don't know.

599
00:47:15,012 --> 00:47:17,172
I thought, I think it's always amazing to watch.

600
00:47:17,412 --> 00:47:18,932
Well, I feel bad for the dog.

601
00:47:19,432 --> 00:47:20,292
Go ahead.

602
00:47:20,532 --> 00:47:21,152
I'm sorry.

603
00:47:21,432 --> 00:47:23,132
No, it's very quick.

604
00:47:23,352 --> 00:47:26,452
But I think the way that they paired the dogs with the actors.

605
00:47:26,712 --> 00:47:27,912
Yeah, that's another thing.

606
00:47:28,212 --> 00:47:35,692
I mean, you could not, I mean, with Parkaposy and her husband, they have got the most neurotic dog.

607
00:47:36,332 --> 00:47:36,932
Yes.

608
00:47:37,452 --> 00:47:40,252
I mean, I feel bad for Beatrice.

609
00:47:43,552 --> 00:47:44,452
Oh my God, right.

610
00:47:44,472 --> 00:47:48,032
And then there's a down to earth wink that he's so cute.

611
00:47:48,332 --> 00:47:50,612
And then the, oh, well, any Shih Tzu.

612
00:47:50,632 --> 00:47:52,692
Hubert is like his buddy.

613
00:47:53,052 --> 00:47:55,352
I mean, that is seriously, this is a pair.

614
00:47:55,392 --> 00:47:57,192
These are two buddies.

615
00:47:57,212 --> 00:48:00,172
They go fishing, they go hunting, they go for walks.

616
00:48:00,192 --> 00:48:02,292
They go, it's a companion.

617
00:48:02,592 --> 00:48:05,032
Right, it's a down to earth dog just like he is.

618
00:48:05,052 --> 00:48:07,892
And then of course you've got the flamboyant Shih Tzus.

619
00:48:07,932 --> 00:48:08,452
Oh, I know.

620
00:48:08,612 --> 00:48:10,332
And the flamboyant couple.

621
00:48:10,932 --> 00:48:15,452
And those dogs are just as flamboyant as they are.

622
00:48:16,092 --> 00:48:16,912
Exactly.

623
00:48:17,292 --> 00:48:19,152
And then the fancy Schmancy Poodle.

624
00:48:20,172 --> 00:48:20,652
Oh, yeah.

625
00:48:20,912 --> 00:48:22,092
Standard poodle.

626
00:48:23,132 --> 00:48:33,912
So yeah, I mean, it all was amazing how well these dogs were paired up with the actors and just how it looks like it was, you know, it was like actually their dog.

627
00:48:34,172 --> 00:48:40,212
So, and you know, kudos to the actors too, because they had to be trained on how to handle these dogs.

628
00:48:40,232 --> 00:48:51,732
So, you know, a lot went into this movie, and you could really tell that, you know, these folks that were in this movie, these actors, everybody just really put a lot of heart in this.

629
00:48:51,872 --> 00:48:58,592
And it's just such an amazing little movie that, you know, just makes you laugh, crack up.

630
00:48:58,932 --> 00:49:02,052
You kind of get emotionally invested in some of the creatures.

631
00:49:02,072 --> 00:49:05,632
Well, yeah, some of the dogs and also with some of the characters.

632
00:49:05,672 --> 00:49:12,892
I just think it was random, stupid thing that I always found kind of, it's like I said, completely random, completely stupid.

633
00:49:13,232 --> 00:49:24,332
But when they were at the dog show, when they were talking about the different breeds, they managed to slide Boarzoi in because somebody must have had fun saying Boarzoi because they kept talking about the Boarzoi.

634
00:49:24,432 --> 00:49:25,072
Right, right.

635
00:49:25,092 --> 00:49:39,212
And well, didn't somebody mention, I think it was Scott who was saying that when he met Vanderhoof, or Stefan, that Scott's dog was doing something to a Boarzoi.

636
00:49:39,232 --> 00:49:41,392
Boarzoi.

637
00:49:45,672 --> 00:49:46,372
Oh, boy.

638
00:49:47,072 --> 00:49:48,232
Yeah, I love this film.

639
00:49:48,732 --> 00:49:53,132
I haven't said a whole lot about it, but a lot of folks said a lot about it, and that's fine.

640
00:49:53,152 --> 00:49:57,772
But I can relate to Jerry Flex so much.

641
00:49:57,792 --> 00:50:03,712
Not his trophy husband, you know, but I've known guys like him, and I'm pretty milk toast myself, pretty simple myself.

642
00:50:03,852 --> 00:50:07,472
You know, I have a cross between him and Harlan, I would say.

643
00:50:07,492 --> 00:50:13,512
If I hadn't had the dog, though, it would be that nourished terrier.

644
00:50:13,752 --> 00:50:21,072
I always like small dogs, and if he knows this or not, but when Darla, who's, you know, I'm starting to cry now.

645
00:50:21,452 --> 00:50:22,292
I can't do that, though.

646
00:50:24,832 --> 00:50:25,212
I know.

647
00:50:25,412 --> 00:50:31,792
But when I first got her groomed, you know, because she was a big floofball mess, I said, I'm going to hold this dog up like Jerry Fleck at the end of this movie.

648
00:50:31,952 --> 00:50:32,632
And it did.

649
00:50:32,832 --> 00:50:34,852
And I was so happy to do that.

650
00:50:34,852 --> 00:50:37,772
You know, it's just, oh my gosh.

651
00:50:39,932 --> 00:50:45,912
I like when Fred Willard describes the sports dogs as the jocks of the dog world.

652
00:50:49,132 --> 00:50:54,432
Even, I mean, even Fred Willard's non sequiturs just work so well.

653
00:50:54,452 --> 00:51:00,632
In the middle of commentating on a dog show, he turns to his partner and says, hey, want to guess how much I can bench?

654
00:51:01,192 --> 00:51:01,452
What?

655
00:51:01,672 --> 00:51:04,092
What does that have to do with anything?

656
00:51:04,112 --> 00:51:06,152
And you're saying this on live television.

657
00:51:06,172 --> 00:51:06,792
Wow.

658
00:51:06,812 --> 00:51:08,472
Go ahead.

659
00:51:08,472 --> 00:51:09,012
Go ahead.

660
00:51:09,032 --> 00:51:10,812
Just, just take a wild guess.

661
00:51:10,972 --> 00:51:13,052
$3.50.

662
00:51:13,652 --> 00:51:17,892
And $510, $510 deadlift.

663
00:51:18,692 --> 00:51:19,212
So good.

664
00:51:21,312 --> 00:51:36,972
I mean, and you know, like we were talking about with the dogs kind of being the reflection of their owners and kind of looking like them in a lot of ways, it really is a nice comment about like the role that dogs play in our lives.

665
00:51:37,272 --> 00:51:41,512
And, you know, if, I mean, I think most of us here are dog owners.

666
00:51:41,892 --> 00:51:54,752
And if you've got a dog or had a dog, you know, then it's like, it's just one of those things that like you, you will do crazy shit for your dog and the dog doesn't know it.

667
00:51:55,052 --> 00:52:00,872
Like I seen no less than two different kinds of songs to my dog when I'm feeding him.

668
00:52:01,372 --> 00:52:02,592
Couldn't care less.

669
00:52:02,972 --> 00:52:11,892
Like that dog doesn't care, but I'm like appropriating songs from the musical, the producers as, oh yeah.

670
00:52:12,892 --> 00:52:13,372
Oh yeah.

671
00:52:13,372 --> 00:52:17,012
Oh, I will definitely sing it's treat time for Johnson and Germany in a heartbeat.

672
00:52:19,052 --> 00:52:22,792
And, and you know, it means nothing to him, but it brings me a lot of joy.

673
00:52:22,812 --> 00:52:34,092
And I think that's kind of the, the thing about this movie is, you know, like for Harlan to put his dog in the, in his, in the pickup truck and drive him to this show.

674
00:52:34,232 --> 00:52:45,592
It's, you know, it, it like, there is something kind of wonderful about that idea of like, yeah, I would love to just get in the car and just drive around with my dog at a place where a bunch of other cool dogs are going to be.

675
00:52:45,892 --> 00:52:47,412
That sounds like a great time.

676
00:52:47,592 --> 00:53:01,532
And, and I think it's one of the, it's one of the reasons I think this would work so well is that as the viewer, even as ridiculous as the characters are, there is something that you can like relatable in those characters.

677
00:53:01,592 --> 00:53:16,792
And also there's a little bit of wish fulfillment too, that yeah, it's all nonsense, but you know, I mean, you got to do something with your life and, and, you know, treating your dog like over well, is that the worst choice you can make?

678
00:53:17,632 --> 00:53:25,492
This movie also has, in my opinion, some of the strongest post-event scenes in a Christopher Guest movie or the What Are They Doing Now, if you will.

679
00:53:25,872 --> 00:53:37,212
I brought it up during Waiting for Guffman because I talked about how some of the What Are They Doing Now scenes in Waiting for Guffman are a little sad, especially like Parker Posey and a Christopher Guest character.

680
00:53:37,552 --> 00:53:41,012
This one, so funny and triumphant.

681
00:53:41,032 --> 00:53:45,192
I mean, even the people that lost still found a way to get a win out of it.

682
00:53:45,332 --> 00:53:53,252
You know, one couple starts a magazine, another couple shoots a calendar, another couple, well, the winning couple records an album, you know.

683
00:53:53,272 --> 00:54:01,552
So just it leaves you with such a good feeling, this movie, whereas Waiting for Guffman leaves me a little sad sometimes when I walk away from it.

684
00:54:01,852 --> 00:54:12,672
This one, no, ear to ear grin as I'm walking away from this film, knowing that everybody, including the shitty swans, even they are in a better situation at the end of the movie.

685
00:54:12,692 --> 00:54:16,752
You know, they've got themselves a new dog who apparently doesn't mind watching them have sex.

686
00:54:18,512 --> 00:54:20,692
They like to watch.

687
00:54:20,952 --> 00:54:22,132
And humping the doctor.

688
00:54:24,092 --> 00:54:28,672
How else would you end a Christopher Guest movie than having a dog hump a psychiatrist?

689
00:54:28,692 --> 00:54:28,992
Come on.

690
00:54:29,252 --> 00:54:30,192
There you go.

691
00:54:30,192 --> 00:54:38,052
So have we talked about how the manager of the hotel mentioned the rock band roasting a goat?

692
00:54:38,432 --> 00:54:39,532
It's a universe.

693
00:54:39,552 --> 00:54:40,732
It's a multi-universe.

694
00:54:40,792 --> 00:54:41,312
It is.

695
00:54:41,332 --> 00:54:41,792
It is.

696
00:54:44,072 --> 00:54:49,672
The fact that he refers to it as the smell of roasted goat and cumin.

697
00:54:49,692 --> 00:54:50,652
And cumin.

698
00:54:50,892 --> 00:54:54,992
Cumin is what sells me on that joke the most.

699
00:54:57,492 --> 00:55:01,292
Apparently their drummer got reincarnated as a hotel manager.

700
00:55:01,312 --> 00:55:01,912
Oh, that's right.

701
00:55:01,932 --> 00:55:02,152
Yeah.

702
00:55:02,172 --> 00:55:03,612
He was one of their original drummers.

703
00:55:05,472 --> 00:55:14,452
But yeah, Eagle Eye fans, you will remember that the Taft Hotel is where Spinal Tap stayed when they stopped in Philadelphia during their film.

704
00:55:14,952 --> 00:55:15,852
Oh my God.

705
00:55:16,552 --> 00:55:18,452
What a beautiful, beautiful connection.

706
00:55:18,532 --> 00:55:18,992
I love it.

707
00:55:20,012 --> 00:55:22,172
Now we have the Gastopian.

708
00:55:22,472 --> 00:55:23,092
There you go.

709
00:55:23,372 --> 00:55:25,012
The Gastopian Universe.

710
00:55:25,032 --> 00:55:25,812
The Guestiverse.

711
00:55:25,852 --> 00:55:26,272
I like it.

712
00:55:27,712 --> 00:55:33,432
Except that, you know, people play like five different characters in the in the Guestiverse.

713
00:55:33,452 --> 00:55:34,972
So yeah, that could get confusing.

714
00:55:35,152 --> 00:55:37,852
Who is Catherine O'Hare in the Guestiverse?

715
00:55:38,172 --> 00:55:38,652
Dr.

716
00:55:38,672 --> 00:55:40,492
Strange in the Guestiverse of Madness.

717
00:55:40,512 --> 00:55:41,232
There you go.

718
00:55:43,472 --> 00:55:44,992
I just saw a commercial for that.

719
00:55:45,012 --> 00:55:47,232
Does it look good?

720
00:55:47,312 --> 00:55:48,072
I don't watch trailers.

721
00:55:49,392 --> 00:55:50,712
Well, I just saw part of it.

722
00:55:50,732 --> 00:55:55,132
There's lots and lots of flashy lights and Benedict Cumberbatch.

723
00:55:55,152 --> 00:55:57,692
And that's pretty much is all I got out of it.

724
00:55:58,072 --> 00:55:59,632
So it's a Marvel movie.

725
00:55:59,652 --> 00:56:00,932
There you go.

726
00:56:00,952 --> 00:56:02,132
Sam Raimi is doing it, though.

727
00:56:02,152 --> 00:56:03,232
I'm going to give it a day in court.

728
00:56:04,032 --> 00:56:05,092
Yeah, but he did Aquaman.

729
00:56:05,092 --> 00:56:06,172
Oh, no, no, my bad.

730
00:56:06,412 --> 00:56:07,892
I'm thinking of Aquaman.

731
00:56:08,312 --> 00:56:11,012
Yeah, no, he did Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 2 rules.

732
00:56:11,532 --> 00:56:14,052
Spider-Man 2 is still one of the best superhero movies.

733
00:56:14,052 --> 00:56:14,652
Oh, for sure.

734
00:56:14,812 --> 00:56:15,472
By far.

735
00:56:15,632 --> 00:56:16,732
Oh, Alfred Molina.

736
00:56:17,052 --> 00:56:17,592
Oscar-worthy.

737
00:56:17,752 --> 00:56:18,832
Yeah.

738
00:56:18,852 --> 00:56:20,752
Still good in No Way Home, as it turns out.

739
00:56:20,952 --> 00:56:23,052
Yeah, absolutely.

740
00:56:23,232 --> 00:56:29,912
And then the last thing I can say about this movie is just the fact that we've got a little bit of Twin Peaks cred in here, too.

741
00:56:30,292 --> 00:56:40,072
Anyone who knows me might know Twin Peaks is my favorite TV show of all time, and to see Major Briggs be the judge in the Best in Show category, just, it tickles me.

742
00:56:40,092 --> 00:56:48,072
Even though he has, like, all four words, not even whole lines, just a few words here and there, for whatever it's worth, it makes me happy.

743
00:56:48,832 --> 00:56:50,392
Yeah, I felt the same way.

744
00:56:50,412 --> 00:56:56,172
I was like, oh, they need to have, like, the picture of his face floating, wavily over.

745
00:56:56,252 --> 00:56:58,472
Or show the log lady in the audience somewhere.

746
00:56:58,592 --> 00:56:59,012
Whatever.

747
00:56:59,032 --> 00:57:01,732
My log likes that dog.

748
00:57:03,892 --> 00:57:05,652
I'll kick it back to Bo.

749
00:57:05,752 --> 00:57:08,832
Anything else you'd like to say, and what do you give it 1 to 10?

750
00:57:10,772 --> 00:57:14,532
Oh, man, I think this is a solid 9 out of 10 for me.

751
00:57:16,692 --> 00:57:20,952
It's hard to find fault with it in the grand scheme of things.

752
00:57:20,972 --> 00:57:30,612
You know, there are little moments here or there that I feel like, oh, well, this is just a thread that kind of goes nowhere, but that's kind of the nature of these improvisational movies.

753
00:57:31,552 --> 00:57:34,272
But that said, like, I find it ridiculously funny.

754
00:57:34,292 --> 00:57:36,612
I think it's strangely sweet.

755
00:57:37,132 --> 00:57:40,132
I love, you know, Megan.

756
00:57:40,952 --> 00:57:42,932
What is her husband's name?

757
00:57:43,072 --> 00:57:44,092
Parker Voser?

758
00:57:45,932 --> 00:57:48,532
Yeah, they're matching outfits.

759
00:57:49,472 --> 00:58:05,552
And the fact that even at the end of the movie, when they're dressed, strangely not unlike the parrot toy, it's got the same kind of color scheme, but they're the color coordinate with one another, I think is a really funny bit.

760
00:58:05,572 --> 00:58:12,932
And the fact that they both have braces and everything, like that couple is such a disaster of a couple, but I can't get enough of it.

761
00:58:12,952 --> 00:58:15,992
I would watch an entire movie just about their day-to-day life.

762
00:58:16,992 --> 00:58:19,832
But yeah, it's really funny.

763
00:58:19,892 --> 00:58:20,912
It's really sweet.

764
00:58:20,972 --> 00:58:22,752
It is outside of Spinal Tap.

765
00:58:22,772 --> 00:58:25,412
It is absolutely my favorite in the Guestiverse.

766
00:58:25,632 --> 00:58:31,112
And I cannot say enough great things about it.

767
00:58:31,372 --> 00:58:38,692
If someone is listening to this, who has never seen Best in Show, it's not bombastic or anything.

768
00:58:38,732 --> 00:58:40,932
It doesn't go for gut laughs.

769
00:58:41,292 --> 00:58:44,552
It just is insistently really, really funny.

770
00:58:44,692 --> 00:58:48,392
And it's anchored by some of the best comedians that have ever worked.

771
00:58:48,512 --> 00:58:55,412
And seeing them all together in this particular film is just a joy, especially because some of them are gone now.

772
00:58:55,832 --> 00:59:00,732
And seeing this movie, it's like, man, what a wonderful testament, the work that they did.

773
00:59:00,932 --> 00:59:01,932
It's so good.

774
00:59:01,952 --> 00:59:02,732
Iris.

775
00:59:03,152 --> 00:59:03,952
Sorry, I was muted.

776
00:59:04,732 --> 00:59:07,272
Yeah, no, for me, this is, I mean, this is me.

777
00:59:07,292 --> 00:59:11,432
This is the most favorite guest movie for me.

778
00:59:11,772 --> 00:59:20,332
And I mean, I could sit and watch this even twice a day, I think, and I would still crack up laughing.

779
00:59:20,572 --> 00:59:22,372
And it's not just, that's funny.

780
00:59:22,372 --> 00:59:27,752
No, I was literally laughing out loud while I was watching this movie.

781
00:59:28,312 --> 00:59:30,612
And every time, I will do it.

782
00:59:30,632 --> 00:59:38,612
And like I was saying before, I know that certain scenes are coming, and I will start giggling even before the gag happens.

783
00:59:38,812 --> 00:59:40,512
So yeah, this movie's a six.

784
00:59:40,712 --> 00:59:42,052
I mean, a 10 out of 10 for me.

785
00:59:44,652 --> 00:59:46,072
Sorry, I forgot what show I was on.

786
00:59:49,192 --> 00:59:51,932
Man, absolutely love this movie.

787
00:59:52,172 --> 01:00:02,052
This is a movie that I could probably never watch with someone who's never seen it before, because as Iris said, I would just start laughing before the gags even started.

788
01:00:02,412 --> 01:00:07,072
And then the person with me would end up missing half of me because of my loud ass laughter.

789
01:00:07,092 --> 01:00:10,072
So yeah, what a testament to this thing.

790
01:00:10,092 --> 01:00:18,632
The fact that I just watched this last night, as I said, again, for the hundredth time, and it still gets me every time.

791
01:00:18,952 --> 01:00:20,352
Every joke is on point.

792
01:00:20,352 --> 01:00:29,312
Even the ones that maybe fall a little bit flat, you still let out a tiny little chuckle, because deep down inside, you know, this is ridiculous and it's very, very funny.

793
01:00:30,512 --> 01:00:36,152
As I mentioned, probably the best post-event or what are they doing now scenes of the series.

794
01:00:36,352 --> 01:00:39,452
Whether I can call this my favorite or not is a tough one.

795
01:00:39,752 --> 01:00:43,952
On the last episode when we did Waiting for Guffman, I said A Mighty Wind is my favorite.

796
01:00:44,052 --> 01:00:55,492
The thing is, is that with those two movies, A Mighty Wind and Best in Show, my favorite is just whatever the one I most recently saw is, because they entertain me to no end.

797
01:00:56,492 --> 01:01:02,312
So I'll have to watch A Mighty Wind like really, really soon just to really lock down finally which one is my favorite.

798
01:01:02,332 --> 01:01:04,212
But I mean, it's definitely between those two.

799
01:01:04,972 --> 01:01:11,452
I am a musician, so anything they do involving music, like Spinal Tap and A Mighty Wind is going to speak to me.

800
01:01:11,872 --> 01:01:15,072
Obviously, you know, the love of animals and being married to a vet.

801
01:01:16,572 --> 01:01:20,232
Best in Show is going to speak to me, my love of film and television.

802
01:01:20,712 --> 01:01:26,732
So, you know, one of the last ones they did, I think it was called For Your Consideration, another one that I really liked.

803
01:01:26,952 --> 01:01:29,932
So for me, I actually said 10 out of 10 earlier.

804
01:01:29,932 --> 01:01:39,112
I'm going to amend that just a little bit, and I'm going to come in with a 9.5, only because Parker Posey was being racist to that hotel employee.

805
01:01:40,352 --> 01:01:41,652
There's a lot of pluses in.

806
01:01:41,672 --> 01:01:43,572
Oh, I love this movie.

807
01:01:43,592 --> 01:01:54,492
And between this and A Mighty Wind, it is usually the one that I've seen most recently that is my favorite, but the two movies are just perfect.

808
01:01:54,512 --> 01:02:02,132
But this one, there are so many little strings throughout the movie that you don't realize are there.

809
01:02:02,872 --> 01:02:05,372
And it's the characters.

810
01:02:05,852 --> 01:02:09,472
And yes, I sing silly songs to my dogs all the time.

811
01:02:09,492 --> 01:02:13,052
I come up with ridiculously stupid nicknames for both of them.

812
01:02:13,372 --> 01:02:15,252
Right now, I was really tired.

813
01:02:15,272 --> 01:02:16,772
I wasn't sure who I was yelling at.

814
01:02:16,772 --> 01:02:18,112
I've got Naya and Nara.

815
01:02:18,432 --> 01:02:20,012
And it came out, Naira.

816
01:02:20,432 --> 01:02:23,512
So now, when I don't know who I'm yelling at, I just call Naira.

817
01:02:23,532 --> 01:02:25,312
So one of them knows they're in trouble.

818
01:02:25,492 --> 01:02:27,752
But the way that we interact, it's...

819
01:02:28,212 --> 01:02:30,492
This movie is just...

820
01:02:30,652 --> 01:02:32,192
It's damn near perfect.

821
01:02:32,632 --> 01:02:33,232
And it's...

822
01:02:33,872 --> 01:02:38,052
You're right, it's not straight up belly laughs throughout the entire movie.

823
01:02:38,132 --> 01:02:39,952
It's subtle humor.

824
01:02:40,332 --> 01:02:43,132
But after you see it a few times, you know what's coming.

825
01:02:43,212 --> 01:02:45,532
And I would be the same way.

826
01:02:45,532 --> 01:02:48,912
I just start laughing because I know what's gonna happen.

827
01:02:49,172 --> 01:02:52,132
And side note on Will Sasso.

828
01:02:52,152 --> 01:02:54,432
He was in a movie, I think it was called...

829
01:02:54,452 --> 01:02:58,072
I want to say Drop Dead Gorgeous with Denise Richards.

830
01:02:58,552 --> 01:02:59,192
And what's that?

831
01:02:59,212 --> 01:03:00,112
Oh, terrific movie.

832
01:03:01,052 --> 01:03:05,052
He only had a few lines, but he's literally the same guy.

833
01:03:05,072 --> 01:03:07,932
But in Drop Dead Gorgeous, he's just a little more perverted.

834
01:03:10,112 --> 01:03:10,732
But I just...

835
01:03:10,832 --> 01:03:12,892
I do adore this movie.

836
01:03:13,232 --> 01:03:16,032
And I'll quit talking now.

837
01:03:16,072 --> 01:03:19,552
Honestly, I can't go any lower than a 10.

838
01:03:19,732 --> 01:03:21,812
There's just too much here to love.

839
01:03:22,012 --> 01:03:24,152
And I can't say...

840
01:03:24,172 --> 01:03:29,112
I can't say that there's anything in there that makes me look down upon it at all.

841
01:03:29,352 --> 01:03:32,812
So it's gonna get my rare 10 out of 10.

842
01:03:33,152 --> 01:03:41,632
I gotta mention how good our newcomers are in this movie, because Jane Lynch, who's not unknown at this point, I don't think, or she's pretty unknown.

843
01:03:42,012 --> 01:03:46,452
She hasn't done much since then, but she's not waiting for Gufman, that's what made her want to be in this movie.

844
01:03:46,892 --> 01:04:02,672
And John Michael Higgins is underutilized as a comedian, I think, because he's in this, he shows up in A Mighty Wind, which I think he's better in, because he shows his prowess as a musician and a singer in that movie, too.

845
01:04:03,212 --> 01:04:05,532
And just underutilized as an actor.

846
01:04:06,392 --> 01:04:07,772
I love everything I've ever seen him in.

847
01:04:08,312 --> 01:04:12,292
I'm a sucker for Fred Claus with Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti.

848
01:04:12,312 --> 01:04:13,112
He's in that movie.

849
01:04:14,472 --> 01:04:16,092
Just great.

850
01:04:16,312 --> 01:04:17,792
And it's a great film all around.

851
01:04:17,812 --> 01:04:21,272
If you're a dog person at all, you're going to love this movie.

852
01:04:21,292 --> 01:04:24,372
If you love anything that we've said on this episode, you're going to love this movie.

853
01:04:25,132 --> 01:04:28,112
I enjoy every time I fucking watch it, every minute of it.

854
01:04:28,492 --> 01:04:30,712
So I got to give it a 10 out of 10.

855
01:04:30,732 --> 01:04:31,952
I love it that much.

856
01:04:32,372 --> 01:04:33,512
So, yeah.

857
01:04:34,192 --> 01:04:41,012
Speaking of pet names, one of my favorite things to do is to give overly elaborate names to buy pets.

858
01:04:42,752 --> 01:04:54,092
And so when I got Johnson was a rescue, the dog I've got now, which always sounded very formal to me, although I think it's because he's got kind of a big dick.

859
01:04:54,192 --> 01:04:56,532
I think that's why I'm going to do this name.

860
01:04:57,512 --> 01:04:58,012
She does.

861
01:04:58,032 --> 01:05:00,832
It's kind of distracting.

862
01:05:00,852 --> 01:05:06,752
But so the name, the overly elaborate name I've given him is Johnson Presbyterian, Barkington the Third.

863
01:05:08,372 --> 01:05:15,932
And so that's how I signed his name and stuff at doctor, you know, the vet offices and so forth.

864
01:05:15,932 --> 01:05:26,932
And so every now and again, you'll get the notice of like, oh, it's time for Johnson Presbyterian, Barkington the Third's new round of anti-worm medicine.

865
01:05:27,592 --> 01:05:30,352
And it delights me to know it.

866
01:05:30,512 --> 01:05:37,292
It's no more exotic than Excel's Desi Does It With Pizzaz, which was rhapsody and light.

867
01:05:37,432 --> 01:05:37,812
Yeah.

868
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:47,332
Oh, my Naya, my oldest, Naya Lasatab, Sheldon Cooper Capoletti, because, you know, lovecraft.

869
01:05:47,532 --> 01:05:54,112
And from the time she was a puppy, if one of the cats, if one of us were in her spot, she would sit there and start barking.

870
01:05:54,132 --> 01:05:54,952
Oh, she'll let you know.

871
01:05:54,972 --> 01:05:57,452
That's how the Sheldon Cooper got attached to it.

872
01:05:58,172 --> 01:06:02,552
And Nara, I had a great name picked out, but Pat's like, no, I want them to match.

873
01:06:02,752 --> 01:06:05,712
So we have Nara instead of something really cool.

874
01:06:05,732 --> 01:06:11,292
So, of course, I named her Black Nara Naya Lasatab, which is always fun to how do you pronounce that?

875
01:06:11,652 --> 01:06:12,132
Nara.

876
01:06:12,952 --> 01:06:20,372
My one cat that I had before we lost, unfortunately, in the fire was named Major Mittens Thunder Pussy McGillicutty.

877
01:06:21,612 --> 01:06:23,052
That was that was that was her whole name.

878
01:06:24,072 --> 01:06:27,772
And Duchess's whole name is Duchess Furiosa O'Shaughnessy.

879
01:06:28,492 --> 01:06:31,432
So that's that's I like to give them the library names too.

880
01:06:31,652 --> 01:06:34,472
I didn't name Darla, but she was just Darla.

881
01:06:34,812 --> 01:06:36,492
And that was my friend.

882
01:06:36,512 --> 01:06:37,332
I missed that.

883
01:06:37,612 --> 01:06:38,392
God damn.

884
01:06:38,412 --> 01:06:39,312
I just stopped doing this.

885
01:06:39,332 --> 01:06:41,892
But I'm going to end this now.

886
01:06:42,172 --> 01:06:42,972
Just put it that way.

887
01:06:43,992 --> 01:06:45,352
Thank you all for being on here.

888
01:06:45,352 --> 01:06:47,952
And we'll be right back with something else.

889
01:06:48,612 --> 01:06:50,992
Now here's something we hope you'll really like.

890
01:06:52,232 --> 01:06:56,612
You are about to see scenes from an unusual film about an amazing man.

891
01:07:10,525 --> 01:07:14,465
And we really can't blame Andy for not wanting to take a leave of absence, can we, sir?

892
01:07:20,245 --> 01:07:21,945
Not until after I got to kill her, sir.

893
01:07:33,357 --> 01:07:34,557
Something else for you to take care of.

894
01:07:36,157 --> 01:07:40,877
This man who called me, I don't have to beat him up, I just pay him money.

895
01:07:42,697 --> 01:07:44,177
Says there's a leak in your territory.

896
01:08:41,322 --> 01:08:42,842
You plan on starting your own operation here?

897
01:08:47,342 --> 01:08:48,102
Don't miss it.

898
01:08:48,642 --> 01:08:49,242
Hello, folks.

899
01:08:49,262 --> 01:08:51,682
Welcome back once again to the Crippled Theater.

900
01:08:51,702 --> 01:08:56,042
I am one guy on the show, but the other guy, I say, right next to me.

901
01:08:56,122 --> 01:08:58,722
I'm looking at him to the right of me on my screen, so that's good enough.

902
01:08:59,902 --> 01:09:01,782
Well, not good enough for him to be here, be here.

903
01:09:01,802 --> 01:09:02,502
That'd be awesome.

904
01:09:02,762 --> 01:09:04,182
But Ricky Morgan is here.

905
01:09:04,202 --> 01:09:04,882
How are you doing, sir?

906
01:09:05,302 --> 01:09:05,982
Great, man.

907
01:09:06,042 --> 01:09:11,722
Yeah, I'm sitting here, shaving off my big bushy eyebrows, even though I'm blind and I can't see.

908
01:09:11,742 --> 01:09:19,222
But we're gonna talk about another movie that pushes the boundaries of The Little Engine That Could.

909
01:09:20,082 --> 01:09:22,662
It has at least 30% less eyebrows, I think.

910
01:09:22,682 --> 01:09:23,102
Right.

911
01:09:24,422 --> 01:09:26,402
We're talking about the movie you heard in the trailer, Mr.

912
01:09:27,622 --> 01:09:29,582
No Legs, or The Amazing Mr.

913
01:09:29,602 --> 01:09:35,962
No Legs, which to chair is the least impressive thing about it, in my opinion, but we'll get into that.

914
01:09:37,842 --> 01:09:43,322
Your cheapo plot synopsis is, Head's role is two cops, Chuck and Andy, go against Mr.

915
01:09:43,342 --> 01:09:52,682
D'Angelo, the biggest drug dealer in Florida, and his ruthless enforcer, Fred, who has no legs, but does have two mean double-barrel shotguns built into his wheelchair.

916
01:09:53,502 --> 01:09:54,942
The stars, yeah, I'm sorry.

917
01:09:55,302 --> 01:09:56,902
No, that's okay, what else you need?

918
01:09:56,922 --> 01:09:58,562
What else you need, exactly, right?

919
01:09:59,122 --> 01:10:04,742
The stars, Richard Jekyll as Chuck, and former professional wrestler, Ron Slinker.

920
01:10:05,202 --> 01:10:09,782
I'm not sure what he came out as, as his partner, Andy, in this movie.

921
01:10:09,982 --> 01:10:13,262
Lloyd Bachner as D'Angelo, your drug dealer.

922
01:10:13,622 --> 01:10:17,922
And we're gonna find the guy's name, he's pretty important.

923
01:10:17,942 --> 01:10:19,282
Rance Howard shows up in this movie.

924
01:10:19,862 --> 01:10:22,002
Don't forget Rance, don't forget your Rance, man.

925
01:10:22,542 --> 01:10:25,302
Rance Howard as Lou, one of the subordinates of Mr.

926
01:10:25,322 --> 01:10:25,922
D'Angelo.

927
01:10:26,382 --> 01:10:30,162
And I'm starring Ted Bullrath as Mr.

928
01:10:30,182 --> 01:10:31,662
No Legs in this movie.

929
01:10:31,942 --> 01:10:32,602
He's impressive.

930
01:10:33,542 --> 01:10:34,782
I gotta get in there right now.

931
01:10:34,962 --> 01:10:36,082
Why is he so impressive?

932
01:10:36,282 --> 01:10:47,502
Because he does some martial arts in this movie and it looks strange in our eyes, thinking like it's all a work, but this guy was the real deal in so many ways.

933
01:10:48,742 --> 01:10:52,902
Fought in the Korean War, lost both of his legs there.

934
01:10:53,142 --> 01:10:57,922
And I imagine some kind of fatal things that have happened to his legs.

935
01:10:57,942 --> 01:11:01,682
I imagine he got shot terribly or blown up terribly, one or two.

936
01:11:01,882 --> 01:11:03,402
It doesn't say all that at IMDB.

937
01:11:03,742 --> 01:11:05,582
Figured it's probably a mine or something.

938
01:11:05,602 --> 01:11:06,042
Yeah.

939
01:11:06,082 --> 01:11:12,442
You think about losing both legs like that, then yeah, I mean, but yeah, come on.

940
01:11:12,662 --> 01:11:13,482
This dude's bad.

941
01:11:13,782 --> 01:11:15,202
But didn't stop him though.

942
01:11:16,042 --> 01:11:18,262
Began training in martial arts in 1967.

943
01:11:18,282 --> 01:11:22,202
He was the first person to wear a black belt in karate while training out of a wheelchair.

944
01:11:22,222 --> 01:11:27,362
Eventually became a grandmaster, acquired black belts and several different styles of martial arts.

945
01:11:27,722 --> 01:11:37,302
And in 1971, he founded the Martial Arts School for the Handicapable Incorporated, an organization dedicated to teaching the martial arts to disabled people.

946
01:11:37,462 --> 01:11:43,562
And to be in this oddity and for him to be the real deal, it doesn't hurt it.

947
01:11:43,782 --> 01:11:44,802
It helps me.

948
01:11:44,862 --> 01:11:45,982
Yeah, here we go.

949
01:11:46,322 --> 01:11:57,242
While serving in the Marine Corps, his legs got shattered by an enemy mortar shell in 1952 during a battle near Incheon, Korea when he was only 13 years later.

950
01:11:57,562 --> 01:11:58,942
His legs were probably taken off.

951
01:12:01,182 --> 01:12:06,862
But yeah, thank you for your service and service in this movie, sir, because you elevated his donkey.

952
01:12:08,702 --> 01:12:08,962
Sure.

953
01:12:09,322 --> 01:12:13,762
Well, and again, of course, I didn't know any of the backstory stuff that you were talking about here.

954
01:12:13,782 --> 01:12:14,882
So, I mean, come on.

955
01:12:15,242 --> 01:12:20,082
That's even greater than the fact that this movie has him in it doing what he does.

956
01:12:20,102 --> 01:12:28,142
The fact that he challenged himself to push himself beyond what, you know, I'm sure people said, no, you can't do that.

957
01:12:28,562 --> 01:12:32,122
And for him to fund his own martial arts school, that's pretty crazy.

958
01:12:32,362 --> 01:12:33,262
That's nice, man.

959
01:12:33,262 --> 01:12:34,502
Yeah, it's awesome.

960
01:12:34,642 --> 01:12:43,062
This is directed by Riku Browning, which if you don't know that name, he is the one in the Creature in Black Lagoon that does the swimming scenes as the creature.

961
01:12:43,342 --> 01:12:44,402
He's the only creature, man.

962
01:12:44,422 --> 01:12:46,222
He's like the only living one that there is.

963
01:12:46,222 --> 01:12:50,922
So if you don't have something from him, he's like 90 something years old.

964
01:12:50,922 --> 01:12:53,202
So he's still with us.

965
01:12:53,502 --> 01:13:00,542
And this is written with his, apparently this guy, Jack Cowden, the writer, and Riku Browning created Flipper.

966
01:13:00,562 --> 01:13:01,622
I had no idea.

967
01:13:02,982 --> 01:13:05,322
Yeah, he was the director of Flipper.

968
01:13:05,342 --> 01:13:08,502
I mean, I watched a few episodes.

969
01:13:08,522 --> 01:13:10,182
He gets to work on Gentle Ben, too.

970
01:13:10,322 --> 01:13:10,902
Oh, nice.

971
01:13:11,362 --> 01:13:21,202
I watched a few episodes here and there of Flipper, but Gentle Ben wasn't, because they had played him on Nickelodeon when I was younger, younger, but they didn't show a lot of Gentle Ben on Nickelodeon, unfortunately.

972
01:13:21,902 --> 01:13:22,742
Who doesn't love that?

973
01:13:22,762 --> 01:13:23,562
A man is a bear.

974
01:13:23,582 --> 01:13:24,062
Come on, man.

975
01:13:24,222 --> 01:13:29,742
I mean, the transition of I'm the creature to Flipper to Mr.

976
01:13:29,762 --> 01:13:30,262
No Legs.

977
01:13:30,422 --> 01:13:32,542
I mean, you can see that transition, right?

978
01:13:32,702 --> 01:13:33,402
Oh, totally.

979
01:13:34,462 --> 01:13:39,482
Maybe the Flipper to the creature thing, but not so much the other, but you know.

980
01:13:39,502 --> 01:13:39,782
Right.

981
01:13:40,942 --> 01:13:47,542
But, yeah, this movie, it takes place in a CD, whatever you want to call it.

982
01:13:47,562 --> 01:13:56,182
You know, you got these two cops, one of which has a sister who's in college, hanging out with some frigate degenerates that's into some drugs.

983
01:13:56,622 --> 01:14:02,602
This movie starts with somebody rolling cocaine pills and size cigars or something.

984
01:14:02,622 --> 01:14:04,402
I don't know what's going on in this movie with the drugs.

985
01:14:05,502 --> 01:14:09,202
But he, of course, you know, tries to play a game with Mr.

986
01:14:09,222 --> 01:14:16,062
D'Angelo, you know, getting himself in trouble and actually kills his girlfriend, which is Andy's sister.

987
01:14:16,422 --> 01:14:20,402
And this sets all this in the motion along with Mr.

988
01:14:20,422 --> 01:14:21,622
D'Angelo's enforcer.

989
01:14:21,642 --> 01:14:27,622
I know nothing to do with her death, but, you know, there's a guy in a wheelchair who has guns attached to his wheelchair.

990
01:14:27,642 --> 01:14:30,082
He could fire at any time, I guess.

991
01:14:30,102 --> 01:14:31,922
It's I guess that's the least impressive thing about him.

992
01:14:31,942 --> 01:14:34,882
You know, double barrel shotguns.

993
01:14:34,982 --> 01:14:38,702
But he's got these arm rest on it and he hits the switch and arm rest drop down.

994
01:14:38,722 --> 01:14:41,782
And it exposes these two double barrel shotguns.

995
01:14:42,082 --> 01:14:45,282
And he just turns into a blasted beast.

996
01:14:45,302 --> 01:14:51,362
It's fun, you know, if you watch like stuff like those Italian Westerns where they have the gadgets and stuff.

997
01:14:51,382 --> 01:14:58,662
Like I think it's like Django, not Django, but Ringo, I think it is, is a series.

998
01:14:58,722 --> 01:15:02,342
Django had the big gun in the coffin.

999
01:15:02,362 --> 01:15:03,442
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1000
01:15:03,782 --> 01:15:06,762
Yeah, stuff like that, you know, they're to use later in other films.

1001
01:15:07,062 --> 01:15:10,162
It's a neat little gadget, you know, I do enjoy it.

1002
01:15:10,522 --> 01:15:12,922
But you're right, I mean, it's not the most impressive thing.

1003
01:15:12,942 --> 01:15:21,282
But you got to remember, what year is this 76, 70, 78, there you go.

1004
01:15:21,542 --> 01:15:22,122
78.

1005
01:15:22,162 --> 01:15:22,502
Yeah.

1006
01:15:22,842 --> 01:15:28,662
So, I mean, it was it was all about, you know, how, you know, just doing something different, right?

1007
01:15:28,682 --> 01:15:32,942
So for this guy to have gadgets on a wheelchair, you know, you probably never seen that before.

1008
01:15:33,242 --> 01:15:33,702
Yeah.

1009
01:15:33,722 --> 01:15:42,802
So they were in this investigation and they're wondering why she would do this because she set up to have an overdose.

1010
01:15:43,202 --> 01:15:51,242
But the dumbasses didn't know how forensics work because they put the drugs in the system like an hour after she died, like, they're not going to notice this, you know.

1011
01:15:52,582 --> 01:15:55,502
It's like, oh, no, she's out of the smack, but not really.

1012
01:15:55,522 --> 01:15:59,282
She died anticipating the drugs hit in her system.

1013
01:15:59,342 --> 01:15:59,662
Yes.

1014
01:16:01,062 --> 01:16:06,322
So terrified, the needle jumped into her vein after she died and said, OK, there you go.

1015
01:16:08,182 --> 01:16:09,022
Oh, my gosh.

1016
01:16:09,202 --> 01:16:11,122
Yeah, this film is also known as Gunfighter.

1017
01:16:11,142 --> 01:16:14,742
I forgot to mention that, which is more which is as accurate as Mr.

1018
01:16:14,762 --> 01:16:15,202
No Legs.

1019
01:16:15,222 --> 01:16:16,502
We'll get into that in a little while.

1020
01:16:18,562 --> 01:16:19,742
I got to mention Richard, Richard J.

1021
01:16:19,762 --> 01:16:20,882
Jago's car in this movie.

1022
01:16:21,282 --> 01:16:21,702
Oh, yeah.

1023
01:16:21,902 --> 01:16:23,782
I think it's some kind of orange Camaro.

1024
01:16:25,242 --> 01:16:31,762
But for some reason, they took on any, you know, identifiable tags off of the car, including the grill.

1025
01:16:32,442 --> 01:16:34,462
It looks like a kid car, unfortunately.

1026
01:16:34,482 --> 01:16:36,262
Yeah, it's definitely a Camaro.

1027
01:16:36,382 --> 01:16:37,742
But still pretty badass.

1028
01:16:37,982 --> 01:16:46,582
Yeah, it's bright orange, almost like the 76 gas stations, you know, that old emblem, the big round circle that said 76.

1029
01:16:46,602 --> 01:16:50,062
And it was like that color orange, almost kind of a burnt, bright orange.

1030
01:16:50,582 --> 01:16:56,422
Yes, I was enjoying a cool car by an older gentleman, you know, thank you, Jim Rockford, Rockford Files, you know.

1031
01:16:56,522 --> 01:16:56,942
Yes.

1032
01:16:57,162 --> 01:16:58,182
Cruisers it around.

1033
01:16:58,402 --> 01:17:00,322
See, that made him cool, you know.

1034
01:17:00,342 --> 01:17:02,682
Yeah, that and the theme song, man.

1035
01:17:02,702 --> 01:17:05,962
I thought the Rockford Files were awesome just because of the theme song.

1036
01:17:07,402 --> 01:17:11,682
We don't go too deep into the plot here, but I'm going to ask Ricky, you know, what he thinks about the film in general?

1037
01:17:12,082 --> 01:17:31,282
Well, I was saying before we kind of got rolling here, there's something I just absolutely love about the 70s grindhouse era of movies because, you know, even though I'm an 80s person through and through, as far as TV and movies, I'm always a sucker for low-budget 70s movies.

1038
01:17:31,682 --> 01:17:37,282
And because, like I said earlier when we were talking, you almost feel like you're not supposed to be seeing this.

1039
01:17:37,302 --> 01:17:44,602
It's almost like you found this movie that's been put away that you're not supposed to see because it's nasty to some degree, right?

1040
01:17:46,042 --> 01:17:50,282
It's like this movie was shot with the same camera that they just shot some 70s porn with.

1041
01:17:50,362 --> 01:17:56,342
It just feels like one could run into the other and nothing would feel out of place.

1042
01:17:56,562 --> 01:17:58,002
So, I don't know.

1043
01:17:58,022 --> 01:18:00,902
There's just something I love about this time period of movies.

1044
01:18:01,262 --> 01:18:04,742
And this one, I think it's funny that the movie is called Mr.

1045
01:18:04,762 --> 01:18:05,222
No Legs.

1046
01:18:05,302 --> 01:18:10,042
Obviously, he's the talking point of the movie, but the movie is not really his story.

1047
01:18:10,262 --> 01:18:16,542
He just happens to be in the movie because he works with this guy and they turned their back on him and stuff.

1048
01:18:16,562 --> 01:18:18,842
And he has to kind of plot his own little revenge.

1049
01:18:18,862 --> 01:18:20,022
But it's weird.

1050
01:18:20,042 --> 01:18:20,562
It's called Mr.

1051
01:18:20,582 --> 01:18:21,022
No Legs.

1052
01:18:21,042 --> 01:18:23,702
But really, the story is about more of the cops.

1053
01:18:24,042 --> 01:18:28,162
It's more about Andy than anything else.

1054
01:18:28,342 --> 01:18:31,502
So, it's a fun watch.

1055
01:18:32,022 --> 01:18:35,742
I don't know that Rantz plays a good bad guy or drug dealer.

1056
01:18:35,762 --> 01:18:39,022
I think because we've just seen him in so many other things, it's hard to see him that way.

1057
01:18:39,042 --> 01:18:40,702
But you can't deny the Jakel.

1058
01:18:40,942 --> 01:18:43,202
I mean, anything he's in, I'm game.

1059
01:18:43,542 --> 01:18:47,822
He's certainly elevating his partner who should have a bigger role in this movie.

1060
01:18:47,842 --> 01:18:53,522
They maybe should have been a different actor, but they got this big old hunky, like I said, former wrestler, apparently.

1061
01:18:53,542 --> 01:18:55,502
This guy was, you know.

1062
01:18:55,662 --> 01:18:59,662
And that makes a lot of sense, too, because the fight scenes are pretty dang good.

1063
01:18:59,842 --> 01:19:03,822
So, you've got this ex-pro wrestler, and then you've got Mr.

1064
01:19:03,842 --> 01:19:05,702
No Legs, who's got this martial arts degree.

1065
01:19:05,782 --> 01:19:07,262
That's why these fight scenes work.

1066
01:19:08,362 --> 01:19:09,862
Yeah, we gotta talk about Mr.

1067
01:19:09,882 --> 01:19:19,982
No Legs, too, because our character, our title character, he gets screwed over by his subordinates, and he decides he's going to get revenge by killing some of his subordinates.

1068
01:19:20,862 --> 01:19:30,462
Yeah, with the guns, and there's a particular pool scene that anybody listening to at least has to watch, because he gets to show off his martial arts skills.

1069
01:19:30,922 --> 01:19:34,742
But it starts with a ninja star on the side of his wheel.

1070
01:19:34,762 --> 01:19:35,962
Yeah, absolutely.

1071
01:19:36,762 --> 01:19:42,842
Just reaches down and pops it off the spoke in his wheelchair wheel, and he's ready for action.

1072
01:19:42,902 --> 01:19:46,222
It's like, somebody told me I was going to need this one day, and here it is.

1073
01:19:47,162 --> 01:19:48,162
The moment is now.

1074
01:19:48,182 --> 01:19:50,262
Ninja star.

1075
01:19:50,282 --> 01:19:57,182
No, but it's great, though, because you get to see our title character, he's doing some push-ups on the chair.

1076
01:19:57,202 --> 01:19:59,182
Oh yeah, showing off for the ladies, yeah.

1077
01:19:59,202 --> 01:20:08,522
Oh yeah, because later on, he has to have this fight, and he's really showing off his, I don't want to use the word stump, but he hits people with his stump, okay?

1078
01:20:08,662 --> 01:20:10,522
And it's pretty awesome.

1079
01:20:10,902 --> 01:20:13,642
That's the way I describe it, his bottom part of his body.

1080
01:20:14,742 --> 01:20:18,082
Man, it's just fun to watch, and I can see why he has it.

1081
01:20:18,142 --> 01:20:35,302
I was looking, trying my damn best to find some video of some possible competitions he was in, or anything, and I couldn't find anything, and it kind of makes me sad, because I like to see him do some stuff, you know, in competition type, you know, and it's not there, it's just not there.

1082
01:20:35,482 --> 01:20:54,602
And it's amazing that he's like the basis of the title and the cover and all the good stuff, but he's not really the big enemy, and he gets dispatched about two-thirds into this movie, unfortunately, and then it turns into The Duke's a Hazard, for some reason.

1083
01:20:55,942 --> 01:21:00,682
I was going to say, you've got the bar fight scene between the two girls, which is pretty cool.

1084
01:21:00,702 --> 01:21:01,422
My God, it's hilarious.

1085
01:21:01,802 --> 01:21:11,902
Yeah, then you've got the pool scene, and you've got, well, you've got Andy at the bar, too, after the girls fight, and he throws some guys around, which looks really good, but then the pool scene and then the car chase, man.

1086
01:21:11,962 --> 01:21:13,742
I mean, this movie's got it.

1087
01:21:14,062 --> 01:21:20,702
That bar scene reminds me so much of, like, the nothing scenes that are in street trash that make you laugh so hard.

1088
01:21:21,802 --> 01:21:25,242
Like the scene where the guy goes in the grocery store and he's stealing all the groceries.

1089
01:21:26,542 --> 01:21:29,802
That bar scene is just like, hey, here's this girl that's mine.

1090
01:21:30,282 --> 01:21:33,162
I think she's supposed to be his informant that he's waiting for.

1091
01:21:33,522 --> 01:21:36,302
But she's just in this bar starting shit with somebody.

1092
01:21:36,322 --> 01:21:41,582
And it turns into this big, like, bottle breaking, like, comedic thing.

1093
01:21:41,602 --> 01:21:44,802
And she gets stabbed with a broken bottle.

1094
01:21:45,342 --> 01:21:49,322
And there's a little person in the back laughing his ass off.

1095
01:21:49,842 --> 01:21:51,602
It's the 70s, man.

1096
01:21:51,622 --> 01:21:52,942
It's the magic of the 70s.

1097
01:21:52,962 --> 01:21:54,222
It's like anything goes.

1098
01:21:54,462 --> 01:21:55,602
It didn't have to make sense.

1099
01:21:55,622 --> 01:21:56,582
We're shooting a movie here.

1100
01:21:57,262 --> 01:21:59,842
That little person needed to be doing some martial arts, is all I'm saying.

1101
01:21:59,862 --> 01:22:00,722
It'd be amazing.

1102
01:22:00,782 --> 01:22:01,322
Sure.

1103
01:22:03,242 --> 01:22:06,002
I didn't see it, but I'm sure if I looked real hard, I could find it.

1104
01:22:06,022 --> 01:22:11,062
But Jim Kelly shows up in this movie for a hot second from End of the Dragon and Black Belt Jones.

1105
01:22:11,362 --> 01:22:11,902
Oh, yeah.

1106
01:22:12,982 --> 01:22:15,282
How can I not mention Three the Hard Way?

1107
01:22:15,302 --> 01:22:16,142
That movie, too.

1108
01:22:16,162 --> 01:22:18,302
It comes straight out of a comic book.

1109
01:22:19,442 --> 01:22:19,882
So good.

1110
01:22:20,642 --> 01:22:35,202
Yeah, this film, I think, you know, that when you learn that things about, you know, about the actor and, you know, performer, martial artist, you see what you could do with with no legs that a lot of men can't do with with full bodies.

1111
01:22:35,602 --> 01:22:35,922
Yeah.

1112
01:22:36,162 --> 01:22:38,222
It makes this film all that much more impressive to me.

1113
01:22:39,362 --> 01:22:44,142
You know, well, so I think the only thing, like I said, no, I'm sorry.

1114
01:22:44,162 --> 01:22:44,902
I'm stepping on you.

1115
01:22:44,922 --> 01:22:46,742
I think we got a little delayed, but that's fine.

1116
01:22:47,322 --> 01:22:49,462
But again, it's like, it's called Mr.

1117
01:22:49,482 --> 01:22:53,002
No Legs, but really he's, he's not in it a lot.

1118
01:22:53,242 --> 01:22:57,362
I mean, you know, he shows up, he shoots some people goes, I don't care if they die.

1119
01:22:57,482 --> 01:22:58,462
They needed to die.

1120
01:22:58,522 --> 01:23:11,222
You know, so he's got this attitude and he's a pretty good hit guy, but you just figure that the movie would be more about following him around and him being a bad guy, getting his back turned, which all this stuff happens, but it's not the main focus of the movie, which makes it really kind of odd.

1121
01:23:11,982 --> 01:23:15,662
You got to love that he looks kind of unassuming too, that he rolls up in this wheelchair.

1122
01:23:15,782 --> 01:23:20,942
He's got no legs and he's got like a 10-year-old boy's haircut going on.

1123
01:23:23,302 --> 01:23:25,022
He's like this big stocky dude.

1124
01:23:26,062 --> 01:23:29,742
Yeah, yeah, the haircut kind of throws it a little bit for sure.

1125
01:23:29,762 --> 01:23:33,942
Hey, you know, he's too busy learning martial arts.

1126
01:23:33,962 --> 01:23:35,582
He ain't got time to learn to cut his own hair.

1127
01:23:35,662 --> 01:23:37,442
Man, ain't that true, man.

1128
01:23:38,002 --> 01:23:39,342
I just see the picture of the little dude.

1129
01:23:39,362 --> 01:23:40,702
You know, it's hilarious.

1130
01:23:40,842 --> 01:23:42,882
He's got a big old hat on and stuff.

1131
01:23:43,022 --> 01:23:43,822
Damn, that's funny.

1132
01:23:43,842 --> 01:23:44,462
It's so funny.

1133
01:23:45,002 --> 01:23:45,822
It's so random.

1134
01:23:46,002 --> 01:23:47,382
Like I said, it seems like that.

1135
01:23:47,402 --> 01:23:49,282
And like for no reason.

1136
01:23:49,302 --> 01:23:51,442
And they messed up Richard J.

1137
01:23:51,462 --> 01:23:54,402
Cole's whip, which is the most tragic death in the whole movie.

1138
01:23:54,902 --> 01:23:56,262
Yeah.

1139
01:23:56,522 --> 01:24:02,322
Because D'Angelo steals his car and he's chasing behind him in a damn police car.

1140
01:24:02,382 --> 01:24:22,982
And one of the most amazing things happened, and I love this trope about this random thing just sitting in the road and how D'Angelo is taken out, and how unfortunately our detective's car is taken out, is there are random blocks of ice in the way and you know he's going to run into them.

1141
01:24:23,002 --> 01:24:24,062
You just wait for it to happen.

1142
01:24:25,462 --> 01:24:27,262
There's no other reason for the ice to be there.

1143
01:24:28,862 --> 01:24:35,822
But I've got to admit, the cop car that's coming over the drawbridge is going up and it runs over the top of those cars.

1144
01:24:35,842 --> 01:24:38,622
It's got some smoky and abandoned things going on here.

1145
01:24:39,002 --> 01:24:42,482
Some great stunts for, I'd imagine this film was very cheap to make.

1146
01:24:43,382 --> 01:24:43,762
Oh yeah.

1147
01:24:44,022 --> 01:24:46,762
You get lots of fun.

1148
01:24:46,782 --> 01:24:47,562
I get down with it.

1149
01:24:47,582 --> 01:24:48,802
But again, J.

1150
01:24:48,802 --> 01:24:54,542
Cole, he's one of those actors that would elevate this inexperienced actor's performance.

1151
01:24:54,562 --> 01:24:55,482
He does it real well.

1152
01:24:55,822 --> 01:24:57,022
Yeah, it's funny.

1153
01:24:57,042 --> 01:25:03,482
My wife walked through when I was watching it and she's like, she pointed out to D'Angelo, she's like, I've seen that guy in a hundred movies.

1154
01:25:03,502 --> 01:25:03,822
And J.

1155
01:25:03,842 --> 01:25:05,922
Cole, that guy's been in a hundred movies.

1156
01:25:06,002 --> 01:25:08,922
And then of course Ransdell, she's like, what kind of movie is this?

1157
01:25:09,102 --> 01:25:11,082
I'm like, 70s schlock, baby.

1158
01:25:12,302 --> 01:25:13,682
It's best there are no legs, baby.

1159
01:25:13,782 --> 01:25:14,302
Come on.

1160
01:25:14,322 --> 01:25:17,282
Either you're on board or you're not.

1161
01:25:18,562 --> 01:25:19,162
She was it.

1162
01:25:19,302 --> 01:25:19,622
So.

1163
01:25:20,162 --> 01:25:20,742
Damn it.

1164
01:25:21,102 --> 01:25:28,942
But that's what's impressive about this time period again, because these people would make these movies and they were in tons of stuff back then.

1165
01:25:28,962 --> 01:25:34,022
And you would think, you know, is there a level that is too low for you to do these movies?

1166
01:25:34,042 --> 01:25:34,982
And it's probably favors.

1167
01:25:35,162 --> 01:25:37,882
They probably know the director, a good friend.

1168
01:25:37,902 --> 01:25:41,862
They trying to make this movie and they, you know, do it for a small fee or whatever.

1169
01:25:41,882 --> 01:25:42,922
So I don't know.

1170
01:25:43,402 --> 01:25:52,482
I would imagine the market was a little different during the 70s like that with all the independent, you know, filmmakers running around doing stuff and buddying up with people.

1171
01:25:52,882 --> 01:25:56,022
I mean, you watch, you watch many films like this.

1172
01:25:56,042 --> 01:25:56,462
You go watch.

1173
01:25:56,482 --> 01:25:59,002
There's a film called The Glove that features John Saxon.

1174
01:25:59,022 --> 01:25:59,902
Yeah.

1175
01:25:59,902 --> 01:26:03,082
It's about a guy who murders, who's a murderer on the loose.

1176
01:26:03,102 --> 01:26:04,582
And he's the he's the detective.

1177
01:26:04,842 --> 01:26:09,222
But this guy has fashioned like a like a metal gauntlet that can crush people's heads.

1178
01:26:10,022 --> 01:26:12,182
This is a movie for the 70s people, you know.

1179
01:26:13,682 --> 01:26:15,862
It can be made any other decade except for the 70s.

1180
01:26:16,162 --> 01:26:17,002
Poor John Saxon.

1181
01:26:17,022 --> 01:26:18,082
He was always the detective.

1182
01:26:18,182 --> 01:26:28,762
I can't tell you how many times I watched a movie, you know, like random movie, because that's that's one of the best things about the Internet is about social media is that people say, hey, look at this random thing.

1183
01:26:28,782 --> 01:26:30,462
They're like, hey, I've never seen it before.

1184
01:26:30,522 --> 01:26:31,462
So it's new to me.

1185
01:26:31,862 --> 01:26:35,482
And then you watch it and you say, hey, yeah, that can only be made in the 70s.

1186
01:26:35,502 --> 01:26:36,382
It can not be made now.

1187
01:26:36,662 --> 01:26:37,302
You know, right.

1188
01:26:38,262 --> 01:26:38,962
Never, ever.

1189
01:26:39,622 --> 01:26:39,962
Yep.

1190
01:26:40,322 --> 01:26:41,182
No doubt about it.

1191
01:26:41,562 --> 01:26:43,462
Any final things you want to say about Mr.

1192
01:26:43,482 --> 01:26:44,282
No Legs, sir?

1193
01:26:44,902 --> 01:26:49,262
You know, if you like, if you like the 70s grindhouse stuff, this is a must watch.

1194
01:26:49,282 --> 01:26:57,102
I mean, it fits right in there between they call her left eye and roller ball or it just kind of works with whatever.

1195
01:26:57,502 --> 01:27:00,882
It is just a slice of 70s Americana.

1196
01:27:01,142 --> 01:27:04,422
There's not so much corporate greed in this movie, OK, like in Rollerball, you know.

1197
01:27:05,862 --> 01:27:10,202
But she got it root for old John Deneen in that movie.

1198
01:27:10,222 --> 01:27:12,982
One of my most favorite closing shots in any movie is Rollerball.

1199
01:27:13,242 --> 01:27:14,602
It's so fucking satisfying.

1200
01:27:15,582 --> 01:27:16,282
Oh, my gosh.

1201
01:27:16,482 --> 01:27:17,822
Yeah, this is this is great, though.

1202
01:27:17,842 --> 01:27:27,082
I recommend watching it, you know, with maybe the new information that you have, you ever seen it before you say, wow, this this this because you'd see him doing this stuff in the chair.

1203
01:27:27,602 --> 01:27:29,082
You think, oh, this is just the work.

1204
01:27:29,462 --> 01:27:32,682
But now that you know, it's not a work that he was the real deal.

1205
01:27:33,662 --> 01:27:35,182
No longer with us, unfortunately.

1206
01:27:35,202 --> 01:27:39,262
But he kicked some ass over a lot of adversity.

1207
01:27:39,302 --> 01:27:40,982
And I admire that greatly.

1208
01:27:41,022 --> 01:27:43,222
And I admire this film more because of that.

1209
01:27:43,462 --> 01:27:44,502
It elevates it, I think.

1210
01:27:44,522 --> 01:27:45,382
Totally agree.

1211
01:27:45,402 --> 01:27:45,942
My gosh.

1212
01:27:46,282 --> 01:27:46,862
Well, that's Mr.

1213
01:27:46,882 --> 01:27:47,302
No Legs.

1214
01:27:47,702 --> 01:27:55,122
We'll see you next time with an 80s film about a wheelchair that actually does some more shit than this wheelchair.

1215
01:27:55,442 --> 01:27:57,642
See, they took it to the next level, didn't they?

1216
01:27:57,662 --> 01:27:58,642
They turned it up to 11.

1217
01:28:00,162 --> 01:28:14,282
With a post-apocalyptic sort of film that features Tiny Zeus Lister and a handicapped kid that's gonna tear him up because it's some vigilantes for their, I guess, to stay alive.

1218
01:28:14,302 --> 01:28:15,582
I never seen this before.

1219
01:28:15,602 --> 01:28:16,842
I'm excited to watch it again.

1220
01:28:17,062 --> 01:28:18,622
Look on the internet, you'll find some shit.

1221
01:28:18,982 --> 01:28:21,022
Wired to Kill from 1986.

1222
01:28:21,722 --> 01:28:22,742
Oh, man, I can't wait.

1223
01:28:23,742 --> 01:28:26,242
I haven't seen it either, so I'm excited about this one.

1224
01:28:26,342 --> 01:28:29,382
But you guys can find that on YouTube to watch for free.

1225
01:28:29,582 --> 01:28:31,602
If you don't want to watch before we review.

1226
01:28:31,822 --> 01:28:33,662
So check out that there.

1227
01:28:34,042 --> 01:28:34,562
Yo-yo.

1228
01:28:34,842 --> 01:28:35,362
Yo-yo.

1229
01:28:35,722 --> 01:28:36,342
Thank you, Rick.

1230
01:28:36,642 --> 01:28:37,602
Yeah, anytime, man.

1231
01:28:37,962 --> 01:28:39,822
And we'll be right back with something else.

1232
01:28:40,902 --> 01:28:44,102
It's odd that Lori came from such a different...

1233
01:28:44,242 --> 01:28:46,082
Right, a completely different path.

1234
01:28:46,102 --> 01:28:55,042
I was brought up in a very small town just south of the Chicago city limits and just far enough away to have been peopled with pure and adulterated white trash.

1235
01:28:55,602 --> 01:29:04,362
And because I was one of so many children, I don't believe that anyone noticed when I blew town at 15 and ended up in San Francisco, California.

1236
01:29:04,762 --> 01:29:10,622
And it's at this point in my story that the dark clouds part because I met a certain Mr.

1237
01:29:10,642 --> 01:29:13,602
Wiseman who gave me a job in his shop.

1238
01:29:14,022 --> 01:29:22,102
And before long, he tapped me to do some small roles in some of his short films for more mature audiences.

1239
01:29:22,562 --> 01:29:25,942
And before long, I had landed, if you will, some leads.

1240
01:29:26,362 --> 01:29:28,962
And then I started to do some cameos.

1241
01:29:30,042 --> 01:29:35,922
Well, I was known for doing a certain thing that many of the other girls wouldn't do.

1242
01:29:36,482 --> 01:29:39,342
And of course, I loved to sing ever since I was a little girl.

1243
01:29:40,042 --> 01:29:45,082
And I learned to play the ukulele in one of my last films, Not So Tiny Tim.

1244
01:29:46,682 --> 01:29:52,142
Finally, in the news tonight, the music world mourns the death of folk music icon Irving Steinblum.

1245
01:29:52,302 --> 01:29:57,102
Steinblum managed the careers of the Main Street Singers, The Folksman and Mitch and Mickey.

1246
01:29:57,222 --> 01:30:01,342
The only fitting tribute that we could come up with was a memorial concert.

1247
01:30:01,582 --> 01:30:06,602
I'd like to think that Mitch would agree to do this, because I already said yes.

1248
01:30:08,102 --> 01:30:10,802
Where else could we have such an event, the town hall?

1249
01:30:10,802 --> 01:30:12,922
We're very pleased to be having the folk people here.

1250
01:30:13,062 --> 01:30:15,242
The acoustics are just perfect.

1251
01:30:15,262 --> 01:30:27,022
All the way Well, there's a puppy in the parlor You went to the record store, you knew that the new Folksman album would be one word.

1252
01:30:27,142 --> 01:30:34,402
Mitch and Mitch and Ramblin singin They had no hole in the center of the records.

1253
01:30:35,082 --> 01:30:37,402
If you punched a hole in them, you'd have a good time.

1254
01:30:42,782 --> 01:30:45,102
My dad, Fred Knox, was an original Main Street singer.

1255
01:30:45,222 --> 01:30:48,582
He's a dead person now, but when he was alive, he was so happy.

1256
01:30:49,042 --> 01:30:54,422
There had been abuse in my family, but it was mostly musical in nature.

1257
01:30:58,702 --> 01:31:00,562
I must say, I was in awe of Mitch and Mickey.

1258
01:31:01,162 --> 01:31:01,702
Who was it?

1259
01:31:02,022 --> 01:31:05,422
Mitch was mysterious and intense.

1260
01:31:07,522 --> 01:31:08,642
I don't remember much.

1261
01:31:11,582 --> 01:31:14,082
We are so excited to be part of this project.

1262
01:31:14,102 --> 01:31:14,722
Absolutely.

1263
01:31:14,742 --> 01:31:17,582
It's something of a challenge for me because I don't like folk music.

1264
01:31:17,702 --> 01:31:18,442
Me too.

1265
01:31:18,522 --> 01:31:19,362
Quick plug, all.

1266
01:31:19,362 --> 01:31:23,662
I'm Mike LaFontaine, owner and founder of High Class Management.

1267
01:31:24,682 --> 01:31:25,022
Whoops!

1268
01:31:25,522 --> 01:31:30,622
I had a hit that you might have heard of, Hooded Legged Little Goman, which means How's It Hanging, Grandma?

1269
01:31:30,722 --> 01:31:32,282
Those are lights hanging up there?

1270
01:31:32,302 --> 01:31:33,242
Yes, those are lights.

1271
01:31:33,262 --> 01:31:33,722
Could they fall?

1272
01:31:33,742 --> 01:31:34,922
And that's a ceiling above us.

1273
01:31:35,882 --> 01:31:37,562
Excuse me, I must be full.

1274
01:31:38,642 --> 01:31:39,822
It's like a wire.

1275
01:31:39,842 --> 01:31:40,602
I see a wire.

1276
01:31:40,622 --> 01:31:41,042
I see a...

1277
01:31:41,122 --> 01:31:41,322
Ow!

1278
01:31:48,142 --> 01:31:52,762
I feel ready for a voyage on this magnificent vessel.

1279
01:31:52,982 --> 01:31:54,002
I love Mitch.

1280
01:31:54,022 --> 01:31:55,562
What if we see sailfish?

1281
01:31:55,582 --> 01:31:55,722
What?

1282
01:32:08,782 --> 01:32:11,722
Hello folks, welcome back to the show.

1283
01:32:12,643 --> 01:32:19,903
We're here to do one more Christopher Guest review for you guys, and that is A Mighty Wind from 2003.

1284
01:32:19,923 --> 01:32:26,243
And with us tonight, blowing peace and freedom and blowing you and me is...

1285
01:32:27,963 --> 01:32:29,823
Suzanne is here, how you doing, girl?

1286
01:32:32,563 --> 01:32:34,963
Oh, not much.

1287
01:32:36,543 --> 01:32:37,223
You had to do it?

1288
01:32:37,363 --> 01:32:37,883
Beautiful.

1289
01:32:37,903 --> 01:32:40,323
Doctor, a brief meltdown.

1290
01:32:40,343 --> 01:32:42,003
I'm here and I'm happy to be here.

1291
01:32:42,383 --> 01:32:43,183
That's okay.

1292
01:32:43,623 --> 01:32:46,623
Meltdowns are important, you know, to vent to somebody, you know.

1293
01:32:48,123 --> 01:32:50,683
With us tonight also is Lovely Iris.

1294
01:32:51,343 --> 01:32:52,123
Oh, hello.

1295
01:32:52,143 --> 01:32:53,883
How are you all doing?

1296
01:32:54,343 --> 01:32:56,503
Oh, fine, fine, fine, fine.

1297
01:32:58,583 --> 01:33:10,163
And our special guest panelists for this review, you may know him from the Friday Nightmares podcast and his Smokeshow OnlyFans account, as Heather would love to say, you know.

1298
01:33:10,863 --> 01:33:13,863
He is, I'm not going to give the big introduction.

1299
01:33:13,883 --> 01:33:17,323
He gives himself every show, just to, you know, blow gremlins or whatnot.

1300
01:33:17,343 --> 01:33:20,503
I don't know what he does, but he's here.

1301
01:33:20,743 --> 01:33:21,543
He's bearded.

1302
01:33:21,563 --> 01:33:25,363
He's waxed, waxed and all of that, all that stuff.

1303
01:33:26,423 --> 01:33:30,643
From Swords Creek, Michigan, this is the Smokeshow with Scott Crawford.

1304
01:33:30,663 --> 01:33:31,363
How are you doing, sir?

1305
01:33:31,383 --> 01:33:32,923
What's going on, everybody?

1306
01:33:33,503 --> 01:33:38,383
Man, I just, I'm very happy to be here and I'm hoping by the end of this, I get a kiss.

1307
01:33:38,703 --> 01:33:46,603
Oh, that would entertain Heather to no end if I fucking gave you a kiss at the end of the rainbow.

1308
01:33:46,623 --> 01:33:47,943
That's all I'm saying about that, you know.

1309
01:33:48,543 --> 01:33:52,543
Oh, God, no, that you could say your only fans paid up with.

1310
01:33:52,843 --> 01:33:55,363
OK, yeah, y'all, y'all ain't getting that shit for free.

1311
01:33:55,703 --> 01:33:56,523
You ain't getting that shit.

1312
01:33:56,563 --> 01:33:58,483
The beard, you ain't getting that shit for free.

1313
01:34:01,883 --> 01:34:04,343
We'll see you, but you buy the cow, you get the scott for free.

1314
01:34:04,363 --> 01:34:05,283
That doesn't work that way.

1315
01:34:05,303 --> 01:34:06,383
It doesn't work that way.

1316
01:34:06,383 --> 01:34:08,383
Yeah, I mean, you always get the scott.

1317
01:34:08,383 --> 01:34:09,603
I mean, I give myself up.

1318
01:34:09,683 --> 01:34:10,223
No problem.

1319
01:34:12,203 --> 01:34:18,723
But yeah, we're here to talk about A Mighty Wind, which is another mockumentary in the Christopher Guest oeuvre.

1320
01:34:21,163 --> 01:34:37,443
This is a story about a folk producer who dies, so they're going to put a concert with his major acts that he brought up and loved, and the conflicts that occur within the making of this concert.

1321
01:34:37,943 --> 01:34:53,043
And this has many of your principal cast members that you knew from the other Christopher Guest ones, Catherine O'Hara as Mickey Crabb, Eugene Levy as Mitch Cohen, Mickey and Mitch right there.

1322
01:34:54,343 --> 01:34:58,543
This, of course, reunites Spinal Tap in a film.

1323
01:34:59,083 --> 01:35:06,723
Harry Shearer as Mark Shove, Michael McKeon as Jerry Fuffalter, and Christopher Guest as Alan Barrows, so that's special.

1324
01:35:07,423 --> 01:35:11,183
Jane Lynch shows up in a much major role in this movie.

1325
01:35:12,943 --> 01:35:18,583
As Laurie Bonner, John Michael Higgins, again, underutilized in everything but these movies.

1326
01:35:19,443 --> 01:35:27,303
Terry Bonner as Terry Bonner, Parker Posey as Delightful, as Cissy Knox, Fred Willard, what happened?

1327
01:35:27,403 --> 01:35:38,323
as Michael LaFontaine, Bob Balaban as Jonathan Steinblum, the son of the Patriarch there, one of the sons.

1328
01:35:38,723 --> 01:35:46,183
Jennifer Coolidge shows up again, Larry Miller shows up again, with a delightful ponynode for no reason.

1329
01:35:46,203 --> 01:35:49,183
I don't know why that thing exists, but it's magical.

1330
01:35:51,163 --> 01:35:52,203
Ed Begley Jr.

1331
01:35:52,783 --> 01:35:56,223
as Lars Oflin, who puts on the concert.

1332
01:35:56,863 --> 01:35:59,363
Paul Dooley shows up again, bless him.

1333
01:36:00,463 --> 01:36:01,903
I didn't see her.

1334
01:36:01,923 --> 01:36:03,263
I gotta go back and look for this now.

1335
01:36:03,283 --> 01:36:04,803
Mary Gross shows up in this movie.

1336
01:36:05,303 --> 01:36:10,283
And I always love when she shows up in things, so now I gotta go back and look again, because I missed that.

1337
01:36:10,303 --> 01:36:16,683
Oh, she's only there very, very, very, very briefly.

1338
01:36:17,243 --> 01:36:18,563
I gotta look anyway, though.

1339
01:36:19,283 --> 01:36:21,523
She's one of the original Main Street singers.

1340
01:36:22,583 --> 01:36:26,143
I'm that kid that grew up in the WeFeds and watched it way too many times.

1341
01:36:26,423 --> 01:36:31,223
And one day on the show, ladies, one day on the show, I promise.

1342
01:36:34,143 --> 01:36:39,603
But I have a good time with the tunes in this movie and the acting, everything about it.

1343
01:36:40,963 --> 01:36:50,203
Music and lyrics by our Spinal Teff panelists and as well as Eugene Levy and Captain O'Hara.

1344
01:36:50,803 --> 01:36:57,323
And Michael McKean's wife has some writing credits and Nitto Tulle are married, and she has a writing credit on this as well.

1345
01:36:57,403 --> 01:37:05,643
They wrote A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow, which I'm sure we'll talk about and probably weep about because that's the song in this movie that's pretty freaking special.

1346
01:37:06,023 --> 01:37:08,763
But I'll kick it to our guest first, The Smoke Show.

1347
01:37:08,783 --> 01:37:11,403
What's your thoughts, your initial thoughts on A Mighty Wind?

1348
01:37:11,923 --> 01:37:15,363
Oh man, so this, I'm kind of new to Christopher Guest movies.

1349
01:37:15,383 --> 01:37:18,403
I've only seen Best in Show and I freaking love that movie.

1350
01:37:19,343 --> 01:37:30,263
So when you offered me to join the podcast for one of the show episodes, I was like, all right, I hope I get A Mighty Wind because that's one I've always wanted to check out and I've got the lucky straw.

1351
01:37:30,703 --> 01:37:33,203
And man, I am so happy I got this one.

1352
01:37:33,223 --> 01:37:38,443
This was just so freaking funny and entertaining and kind of heartwarming.

1353
01:37:38,623 --> 01:37:40,643
And also just the music is amazing.

1354
01:37:41,003 --> 01:37:45,003
I love folk music and this was great and like beautifully done.

1355
01:37:45,283 --> 01:37:51,403
But holy shit, I just got to say Eugene Levy with the way he talks throughout this movie just steals the freaking show from me.

1356
01:37:51,903 --> 01:37:54,863
I kind of like doing this fun.

1357
01:37:55,683 --> 01:38:00,383
I just I love it and the combination between him and Catherine O'Hara, like as always, just so good.

1358
01:38:01,063 --> 01:38:03,883
Because, yeah, I love and I love seeing them in Schitt's Creek now.

1359
01:38:03,903 --> 01:38:07,323
So that just made me very happy to see them again from back in the day.

1360
01:38:08,243 --> 01:38:08,623
Cool.

1361
01:38:08,783 --> 01:38:09,223
Iris.

1362
01:38:09,683 --> 01:38:19,703
OK, first of all, I have to say that I'm very grateful for model trains or else without them, we wouldn't have real trains.

1363
01:38:24,063 --> 01:38:37,143
Holy shit, you know, that woman, the fucking screen, anytime she is on it because she is funny and she, I don't know, I just love her.

1364
01:38:37,483 --> 01:38:39,863
But this movie in itself, it's lots of fun.

1365
01:38:40,183 --> 01:38:48,003
I mean, you know, it's kind of funny, but I was talking with a friend of mine, Robin, from another podcast.

1366
01:38:49,863 --> 01:38:53,083
And I was telling her that, you know, I know people like this.

1367
01:38:53,183 --> 01:38:54,503
I mean, like in real life.

1368
01:38:55,063 --> 01:39:05,223
There is a gentleman by the name of Jim and he is basically a hippie type of artistic dude.

1369
01:39:05,243 --> 01:39:13,203
And his wife was a music teacher and it was guitar and the dulcimer, just like them.

1370
01:39:13,703 --> 01:39:17,043
And sadly, she passed away a couple of years ago.

1371
01:39:17,103 --> 01:39:19,863
But you know, he is that dude.

1372
01:39:19,883 --> 01:39:20,923
He is Mitch.

1373
01:39:20,943 --> 01:39:24,123
I mean, he walks around just like lost.

1374
01:39:24,623 --> 01:39:27,343
And they lived on a commune and everything.

1375
01:39:27,383 --> 01:39:35,463
Knowing stage people is funny because you can see every single person in this movie.

1376
01:39:35,843 --> 01:39:37,563
It's like you know someone.

1377
01:39:37,863 --> 01:39:39,423
You know someone that acts like this.

1378
01:39:40,223 --> 01:39:42,643
The music in this is fucking amazing.

1379
01:39:43,623 --> 01:39:48,663
I'm not too much into the folksy music, but you know I like music to tell stories.

1380
01:39:48,663 --> 01:39:50,863
And that's basically what these guys are doing.

1381
01:39:50,903 --> 01:39:52,563
And I think the music's great.

1382
01:39:52,583 --> 01:39:54,383
The singing is amazing.

1383
01:39:55,043 --> 01:39:57,383
Done by the actors themselves.

1384
01:39:59,443 --> 01:40:06,603
And of course, you know, who wouldn't want to worship another dimension where color is the 49th vibration?

1385
01:40:06,623 --> 01:40:08,523
We are the 49th vibration of color.

1386
01:40:08,663 --> 01:40:12,243
I mean, how would you not know that?

1387
01:40:12,343 --> 01:40:15,763
You know, anybody walking down the street knows that, right?

1388
01:40:16,623 --> 01:40:19,563
But, you know, they don't fly around on burbs.

1389
01:40:19,843 --> 01:40:22,443
No, they wear the witchy hats, but they don't fly around on burbs.

1390
01:40:22,983 --> 01:40:24,363
No, this movie is so much fun.

1391
01:40:24,603 --> 01:40:26,083
It's just such quirkiness.

1392
01:40:26,263 --> 01:40:29,083
And then, of course, Bob Balaban.

1393
01:40:30,483 --> 01:40:32,303
John, I mean, this guy.

1394
01:40:32,703 --> 01:40:34,963
Obviously, he had a Jewish mother.

1395
01:40:35,363 --> 01:40:36,663
They're very overbearing.

1396
01:40:37,163 --> 01:40:38,623
They played polo.

1397
01:40:38,683 --> 01:40:40,443
They played polo on Shetland Ponies.

1398
01:40:41,283 --> 01:40:42,763
So they wouldn't fall far.

1399
01:40:42,783 --> 01:40:46,103
Had to wear a football helmet when he was in the jazz club.

1400
01:40:48,063 --> 01:40:54,243
The fact that he's like walking around, he's on stage and he's like, he's like, are those lights up hanging up there?

1401
01:40:54,303 --> 01:40:55,123
Is that a wire?

1402
01:40:55,143 --> 01:41:00,183
The stage manager just slaps him on the head.

1403
01:41:07,683 --> 01:41:14,003
Don't get your eye gouged out by an apple blossom for the love of God.

1404
01:41:14,043 --> 01:41:17,643
Old people in wheelchairs are going to get tangled up in the vines.

1405
01:41:20,243 --> 01:41:31,443
Every character just takes it to that place where it's just over the top because the most creative people that are on stage are over the top because if they weren't, they wouldn't be on stage.

1406
01:41:33,643 --> 01:41:41,283
Mickey and Mitch, it's that typical love story that the two artists met.

1407
01:41:41,303 --> 01:41:44,143
They fell in love and there was a nasty breakup.

1408
01:41:44,143 --> 01:41:45,143
They never talked to each other.

1409
01:41:46,343 --> 01:41:55,903
Then here they are back and each one has their version of the kiss of like, well, I wasn't leading him on and then he's like, well, I wasn't leading her on.

1410
01:41:56,263 --> 01:42:14,783
But it's cute and I have to say, depending on what mood I'm in, the song at the end where they say the kiss at the end of the rainbow, sometimes I get like a little teary-eyed because it's such a sweet song.

1411
01:42:14,803 --> 01:42:21,823
And to see the two characters that have been at odds with each other for so long, and they do kiss, it's kind of cute.

1412
01:42:21,843 --> 01:42:25,063
But anyway, but yeah, this is a great movie.

1413
01:42:25,623 --> 01:42:29,443
Not one of my favorite, but pretty close to it.

1414
01:42:31,823 --> 01:42:32,563
I have a theory.

1415
01:42:32,583 --> 01:42:38,183
I think that this movie is Spinal Tap in alternate dimension.

1416
01:42:38,523 --> 01:42:38,983
Okay.

1417
01:42:39,383 --> 01:42:40,843
Okay, like a full song Spinal Tap.

1418
01:42:41,743 --> 01:42:42,343
No, I'm listening.

1419
01:42:42,363 --> 01:42:43,163
I can't really believe it.

1420
01:42:43,603 --> 01:42:44,043
It is.

1421
01:42:44,403 --> 01:42:49,603
Because, I mean, it was, as I was watching it, I can't even count how many times they've seen this movie.

1422
01:42:50,363 --> 01:43:02,323
And when they're talking to the one, you know, the magazine writer, his name, and this is what made me think of it, is Martin Berg, the guy that Paul Benedict, or as I always like to call him, Bentley.

1423
01:43:04,003 --> 01:43:07,263
And the filmographer was Marty de Burghie.

1424
01:43:07,283 --> 01:43:08,063
Yeah.

1425
01:43:08,843 --> 01:43:16,623
And like I said, you see the same three in the folksman, and you have these other acts around them.

1426
01:43:17,143 --> 01:43:24,423
But I swear to God, he wrote this and stuck them in a folk music alternate time lock.

1427
01:43:24,603 --> 01:43:26,983
Spinal tap, but now they're the folksman.

1428
01:43:27,003 --> 01:43:39,403
I don't want to interrupt you, but they do have a genuine spinal tap moment in the movie, at least one that I can recall, is where the Main Street singers do their song first, that they're going to do, and then...

1429
01:43:40,763 --> 01:43:41,523
Harry Shearer!

1430
01:43:43,363 --> 01:43:46,083
He goes, just as hypothetical, what state would you wander in?

1431
01:43:46,103 --> 01:43:50,983
And then he yells at him without yelling at him, you know?

1432
01:43:51,003 --> 01:43:52,723
It's just kind of wonderful.

1433
01:43:52,743 --> 01:43:54,183
It's like the Stonehenge thing.

1434
01:43:54,203 --> 01:43:55,623
Oh, I know.

1435
01:43:55,643 --> 01:43:58,103
I straight up...

1436
01:43:58,123 --> 01:44:08,423
Once again, but I think maybe just because I watch them so close together and I've never watched those two movies within a week or so of each other, and all of a sudden this just jumped at me.

1437
01:44:08,963 --> 01:44:11,883
So there's that, and I absolutely love...

1438
01:44:12,103 --> 01:44:15,263
There's just, once again, as Iris said, the quirkiness.

1439
01:44:15,283 --> 01:44:30,623
But I mean, going back to the song, The Kiss at the End of the Rainbow, there's something incredibly heartwarming and touching about that entire thing because everybody comes out, Michael McKean is sitting there, it's like, oh, it's such a pretty song.

1440
01:44:30,963 --> 01:44:32,203
Are they gonna do The Kiss?

1441
01:44:32,543 --> 01:44:39,403
And everybody is flooding side stage to get a glimpse to see if they're actually gonna do it.

1442
01:44:39,423 --> 01:44:49,943
And yes, I actually did shed a tear because it is just a beautiful song and I couldn't remember, but I was pretty sure that was the song that got nominated for an Oscar.

1443
01:44:49,963 --> 01:44:57,083
I don't think it won, fucking should have, but that scene is for me, I think that's like the pinnacle of the movie.

1444
01:44:57,563 --> 01:45:01,123
And you go through your rapid thing at the end of what everybody is up to.

1445
01:45:01,703 --> 01:45:06,223
I think Mickey and Maude, or Maude, what the hell?

1446
01:45:06,243 --> 01:45:08,383
Did I mention Mickey?

1447
01:45:08,443 --> 01:45:11,043
My God, where the hell is my head tonight?

1448
01:45:11,443 --> 01:45:16,323
I think theirs is the funniest, because she's there, you know, pimpin sure flow.

1449
01:45:16,823 --> 01:45:21,903
And he's writing poetry again, and he's like, I'm so open now.

1450
01:45:21,923 --> 01:45:25,383
I didn't want to leave her on.

1451
01:45:25,803 --> 01:45:28,803
And the folks that are playing casinos, which, awesome.

1452
01:45:29,263 --> 01:45:38,803
And well, we have a drastic transformation that happened too, which, you die the first time you see the movie, you're like, what?

1453
01:45:39,323 --> 01:45:43,703
Okay, I get that you're all about, you know, taking care of your skin.

1454
01:45:44,003 --> 01:45:44,583
Well, you know.

1455
01:45:44,603 --> 01:45:47,583
Apparently, maybe that was the next logical step for him.

1456
01:45:47,583 --> 01:45:51,663
You know, Norwegian fishermen, they use hand cream all the time, just throw it out there, you know.

1457
01:45:54,563 --> 01:45:58,363
And it's just, it's so, there's so many things.

1458
01:45:58,383 --> 01:46:05,843
And Iris, we talked a lot about Bob Balaban, but he is at his absolute neurotic best in this movie.

1459
01:46:06,223 --> 01:46:11,163
I'm very, very organized, and he's sitting there moving things around like, yeah, I know that feels.

1460
01:46:11,763 --> 01:46:14,823
And like I said, the apple blossom, like somebody's going to put their eye out.

1461
01:46:14,843 --> 01:46:16,543
They're going to get tangled in this vine.

1462
01:46:16,563 --> 01:46:19,763
Some very low hanging vines, so watch out for those.

1463
01:46:19,783 --> 01:46:25,523
But when the stage manager goes and slaps you upside the head, you just can't help but fucking fall out laughing.

1464
01:46:25,783 --> 01:46:28,243
That is one of the funniest scenes in the movie.

1465
01:46:28,663 --> 01:46:31,823
And this one for me, it's not like, is laugh out loud funny?

1466
01:46:31,943 --> 01:46:33,283
It's some of the other things.

1467
01:46:33,623 --> 01:46:50,063
There's just, there's, I guess it's just kind of, they're playing a lot on the nostalgia and making it work very well of, you know, bygone days and folk music and all the folk clubs and how everybody knew each other.

1468
01:46:50,083 --> 01:46:53,163
And they brought, for me, I think they did a great job.

1469
01:46:53,163 --> 01:46:58,403
And, you know, some of the songs that the Main Street singers did were just funny as hell.

1470
01:46:58,423 --> 01:47:00,403
It was like, you get the sweet potato going.

1471
01:47:00,423 --> 01:47:04,643
And yeah, I started singing that while I was watching the movie.

1472
01:47:04,663 --> 01:47:05,923
I'm like, you need to make that stop.

1473
01:47:06,263 --> 01:47:06,683
Do it.

1474
01:47:07,043 --> 01:47:08,143
Keep singing that song.

1475
01:47:08,163 --> 01:47:09,723
You know what?

1476
01:47:09,983 --> 01:47:12,563
I kind of agree with the folksmen or the folkmen.

1477
01:47:13,503 --> 01:47:15,443
Those really aren't folk songs.

1478
01:47:15,463 --> 01:47:16,763
Those are like ditties.

1479
01:47:17,043 --> 01:47:17,583
Yeah.

1480
01:47:17,843 --> 01:47:23,003
You know, because yeah, it does tell a story, but it's a happy-go-lucky story.

1481
01:47:23,903 --> 01:47:24,223
Yeah.

1482
01:47:24,283 --> 01:47:27,703
It does fit more into the ditty category than a folk song.

1483
01:47:28,303 --> 01:47:31,583
For the folk songs, there was always some kind of deepness to them.

1484
01:47:31,983 --> 01:47:32,443
Exactly.

1485
01:47:32,463 --> 01:47:33,943
Like the last song, A Mighty Wind.

1486
01:47:34,503 --> 01:47:36,483
I love that song, right?

1487
01:47:36,743 --> 01:47:46,263
Because it totally encompasses, and it's kind of like the personification of the time when they were, you know, they were it.

1488
01:47:46,283 --> 01:47:47,203
They were the big thing.

1489
01:47:47,223 --> 01:47:56,303
It was a time of, you know, civil rights and the civil rights movement, the women's movement, all of that.

1490
01:47:56,623 --> 01:47:59,883
And you know what it says, freedom and equality.

1491
01:48:00,163 --> 01:48:03,243
So to me, that is the perfect folk song.

1492
01:48:03,263 --> 01:48:06,243
And I'm glad that that's what they ended up.

1493
01:48:06,503 --> 01:48:08,523
Of course, you know, it's Christopher Guest.

1494
01:48:08,903 --> 01:48:09,703
Why wouldn't you do that?

1495
01:48:10,043 --> 01:48:12,983
But yeah, I kind of agree with the folks.

1496
01:48:13,043 --> 01:48:14,483
They're just too happy-go-lucky.

1497
01:48:15,323 --> 01:48:18,623
Yeah, and they're kind of like the fake knockoffs.

1498
01:48:18,783 --> 01:48:21,403
They're not the actual Main Street singers.

1499
01:48:21,423 --> 01:48:24,563
They're the new Main Street singers.

1500
01:48:24,623 --> 01:48:27,223
And the only one that's actually got any connection is Sissy.

1501
01:48:27,783 --> 01:48:36,043
And I'm sorry, Parker Posey is just as cute as a fucking button in this movie, especially when she's playing her ukulele for the class.

1502
01:48:38,243 --> 01:48:41,463
And she's just sitting there playing and just big ass smile on her face.

1503
01:48:41,483 --> 01:48:43,283
The kids are like, oh my God, what the fuck?

1504
01:48:43,543 --> 01:48:44,663
Fresh hell is this?

1505
01:48:46,203 --> 01:48:52,543
But this is just one of those movies that for me, it's basically a warm bowl of popcorn.

1506
01:48:52,723 --> 01:48:55,503
I'm always happy to go spend some time with it.

1507
01:48:55,763 --> 01:48:58,443
Yeah, yeah, I love this.

1508
01:48:58,663 --> 01:49:03,223
These two films are covered in this show are probably my favorite ones at all, and for good reason.

1509
01:49:04,683 --> 01:49:18,903
John Michael Higgins as Terry Bonner, just as an actor, but as a musician and as a singer, I think he's utilized that more in other things because he's not utilized today, and it makes me sad, like I said, in the Best in Show review.

1510
01:49:20,223 --> 01:49:31,723
He's great in this movie and telling the story about how he became in love with the Main Street Singers, which is basically his father locked him in a room.

1511
01:49:32,323 --> 01:49:34,563
He built the Main Street Singers on gin boxes.

1512
01:49:35,423 --> 01:49:39,563
Yeah, and then the Main Street Singers, his abuse was musical in nature.

1513
01:49:39,583 --> 01:49:43,123
Yeah, that whole introduction.

1514
01:49:43,143 --> 01:49:47,543
And I got to say, Jane Lynch, she's from where I'm from, from Dalton, Illinois.

1515
01:49:47,563 --> 01:49:48,703
She went to Thornridge High School.

1516
01:49:49,203 --> 01:50:01,623
So when she's doing her little schmiel about leaving that town just south of Chicago, which had poor unadulterated white trash in it, that's a jab and a love at Dalton.

1517
01:50:01,883 --> 01:50:08,143
And I got to say, that part, I did not notice till these viewings for this show.

1518
01:50:08,643 --> 01:50:11,223
And I was like, wow, that's fucking awesome.

1519
01:50:11,583 --> 01:50:16,223
She still shows a lot of love for that fucking shit town she's from and that I'm from.

1520
01:50:16,243 --> 01:50:22,403
And I think right now, if you watch TV around me and Suzanne, she does a tourism commercial for Illinois now.

1521
01:50:28,583 --> 01:50:30,583
Yeah, the folksmen, they're wonderful.

1522
01:50:31,303 --> 01:50:36,923
Harry Shearer just being awkward and it's amazing.

1523
01:50:37,543 --> 01:50:41,163
The whole thing about, oh, he caught me in the bathroom.

1524
01:50:41,183 --> 01:50:46,503
I threw my hands down and reminded me of his father catching him in the act with the hand cream.

1525
01:50:48,403 --> 01:50:53,063
And it's a little quirky shit, like we're talking about how the records came out.

1526
01:50:53,083 --> 01:50:54,723
And this one was big.

1527
01:50:54,743 --> 01:50:58,983
And then we got to push down to the lower label and the record didn't even have a hole in it or something, he says.

1528
01:50:59,083 --> 01:51:04,563
You had to drill your own hole and hopefully you got it centered.

1529
01:51:07,803 --> 01:51:09,643
It would just wobble on the spindle.

1530
01:51:09,663 --> 01:51:12,323
Good sound quality though.

1531
01:51:12,483 --> 01:51:14,163
Yeah, it's good sound quality for sure.

1532
01:51:14,183 --> 01:51:24,423
Yeah, the lyrics of some of these songs, you mentioned potatoes in the paddy wagon.

1533
01:51:26,283 --> 01:51:30,363
It's a really bad thing to say about your baby that she has the face of a parboiled yam.

1534
01:51:30,783 --> 01:51:33,983
You know, because it's like, oh, wow, that's ugly, man.

1535
01:51:41,763 --> 01:51:42,343
Oh, my God.

1536
01:51:43,243 --> 01:51:44,743
Don't let me sing anymore.

1537
01:51:45,403 --> 01:51:47,403
Oh, it'll happen one day.

1538
01:51:47,423 --> 01:51:53,663
The Mitch and Mickey stuff, we just lost Naomi Judd.

1539
01:51:53,683 --> 01:51:57,143
Yeah, I'm sorry, Naomi Judd.

1540
01:51:57,163 --> 01:52:11,883
And your interviews with her about her depression, this is where I get serious about things, about her staying in her house for three weeks at a time, not taking a shower in the same clothes and having to put on that face for the people.

1541
01:52:12,103 --> 01:52:20,003
And the whole idea of him falling, because they don't really explain a lot of why they broke up.

1542
01:52:20,023 --> 01:52:23,003
They just explain the anger, what happened when they broke up.

1543
01:52:23,543 --> 01:52:30,283
But that little level of depression, I think of my mother quite a bit.

1544
01:52:30,603 --> 01:52:32,723
Naomi Judd talks about her depression.

1545
01:52:32,723 --> 01:52:34,643
I just cry a little more.

1546
01:52:34,663 --> 01:52:37,663
Let's put it that way.

1547
01:52:38,143 --> 01:52:50,463
But their songs, not just in the movie, but on the soundtrack album, there's a song called The Ballad of Bobby and June that's not in the movie, but it's a wonderful song.

1548
01:52:50,663 --> 01:52:52,663
You guys should check it out if you guys haven't yet.

1549
01:52:53,963 --> 01:53:00,563
But that song, which I hear people have played at their weddings, A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow, it's a lovely song.

1550
01:53:00,583 --> 01:53:07,363
And there's a part of this movie where they're at Mickey's house and they're rehearsing.

1551
01:53:07,383 --> 01:53:16,603
And you can see when he's playing and she's playing, and they're looking at each other, and you can see something clicks there.

1552
01:53:17,103 --> 01:53:25,803
And that's just that little love for each other and the compatibility as an actor and actress.

1553
01:53:26,983 --> 01:53:31,043
And there's something in that look, like he's ready to go at that point.

1554
01:53:31,063 --> 01:53:34,363
And of course, he's not ready to go again because he's that neurotic.

1555
01:53:34,783 --> 01:53:44,923
And the little stuff he does in this movie, like when the husband takes him down to go see the model train and he keeps calling it Crabville instead of Crab Town.

1556
01:53:44,943 --> 01:53:49,643
I think Crabville would look beautiful in the autumn.

1557
01:53:51,263 --> 01:53:53,943
Put some trees over there with the leaves.

1558
01:53:59,963 --> 01:54:01,183
He doesn't play roles like this.

1559
01:54:01,203 --> 01:54:04,723
He's a lot more exuberant and wild.

1560
01:54:04,743 --> 01:54:10,003
But this is a really reserved role for him for a lot of reasons.

1561
01:54:10,023 --> 01:54:11,423
That's what the character is.

1562
01:54:11,423 --> 01:54:14,083
And he learned to play guitar for this movie.

1563
01:54:14,343 --> 01:54:17,023
And Parker Posey learned to play the mandolin for this movie.

1564
01:54:17,043 --> 01:54:29,123
So the fact that all these people, I mentioned how much I love the film Nashville, the Robert Altman film Nashville, because those actors in that movie wrote and performed their own music in that movie as well.

1565
01:54:29,143 --> 01:54:31,123
I love shit like that.

1566
01:54:31,143 --> 01:54:37,783
And once again, you also got an Oscar nomination for Keith Carradine.

1567
01:54:37,803 --> 01:54:41,823
It gives a new level to what you're seeing on the screen.

1568
01:54:42,103 --> 01:54:44,983
And that's important.

1569
01:54:45,503 --> 01:54:46,503
Oh my gosh.

1570
01:54:46,523 --> 01:54:49,103
It gives it more of a level of authenticity.

1571
01:54:50,063 --> 01:54:55,163
And yeah, I definitely got to say like I with Mitch and Mickey like are.

1572
01:54:55,283 --> 01:54:56,143
Yeah.

1573
01:54:56,363 --> 01:54:59,263
But they have those two like just just the chemistry between those two.

1574
01:54:59,283 --> 01:55:06,463
Like if it wasn't those actors, I don't know if it would have been the same because, yeah, Eugene Levy and Kathy, Catherine O'Hare both just have such great chemistry together.

1575
01:55:06,663 --> 01:55:07,503
You need that, man.

1576
01:55:07,823 --> 01:55:08,523
It's good shit.

1577
01:55:09,343 --> 01:55:09,783
Yeah.

1578
01:55:10,183 --> 01:55:20,023
But the main the new Main Street singers, I love watching them perform because it's the Toothpaste commercial, as Michael McKean says in this movie.

1579
01:55:20,043 --> 01:55:24,243
And they're just so, you know, happy and smiling.

1580
01:55:24,263 --> 01:55:33,763
And, you know, there's a song about there where they sing about Bible stuff called The Good Book Song, which I've listed.

1581
01:55:33,763 --> 01:55:42,303
I've listed the soundtrack on my phone for at least, I think, like 15 times in the past month, just because I turn on every once in a while.

1582
01:55:42,403 --> 01:55:48,183
And I'm just singing along with The Good Book Song.

1583
01:55:48,223 --> 01:55:59,203
And, you know, any Mitch and Mickey song, which if you're wearing a mask, which is one of the most greatest things in the world for something like this, you can sing shit like this in the grocery store and they're none the wiser, okay?

1584
01:55:59,463 --> 01:56:00,203
None the wiser.

1585
01:56:03,703 --> 01:56:04,803
So good, man.

1586
01:56:05,303 --> 01:56:11,003
If you haven't listed the soundtrack album, there's stuff on there that's not in the movie, like that one song I had mentioned.

1587
01:56:11,543 --> 01:56:13,563
And songs in full.

1588
01:56:14,403 --> 01:56:17,923
If you don't own the Blu-ray or DVD, it's on both.

1589
01:56:19,243 --> 01:56:20,443
Great extras on there.

1590
01:56:20,863 --> 01:56:23,823
You can watch the whole concert in full on there.

1591
01:56:23,843 --> 01:56:27,743
As if it was aired on TV, you can watch it on there.

1592
01:56:27,763 --> 01:56:53,103
And of course, deleted scenes, because this is mostly fucking improvised with very little script there, which makes me happy about the Dalton Dig, because I'd have to ask her myself, but I would imagine that's something she threw in on her own, about this poor white trash girl from the south suburbs of Chicago, you know, and people that know, know what she's talking about.

1593
01:56:53,123 --> 01:56:58,863
That's all I'll say about that one, you know.

1594
01:56:59,823 --> 01:57:02,523
But yeah, I catch myself singing this stuff all the time.

1595
01:57:02,783 --> 01:57:12,223
Old Joe's plays the folksman song that really sticks out for me, because X made a post on Facebook last night.

1596
01:57:12,243 --> 01:57:17,443
I wish he could have been here for this, but he's semi-retired and he's hanging out with his wifey and stuff.

1597
01:57:18,603 --> 01:57:26,163
He just simply put E-O-A, you know, because you look for that busted neon sign and that's what it says.

1598
01:57:28,903 --> 01:57:30,023
E-O-O.

1599
01:57:30,523 --> 01:57:32,643
Yeah, X is fucking, that's my man.

1600
01:57:32,663 --> 01:57:34,143
I love that he did that.

1601
01:57:34,163 --> 01:57:39,023
Like what I respond to, I was like, is there always something cooking there, you know?

1602
01:57:42,743 --> 01:57:43,963
So fucking good.

1603
01:57:45,523 --> 01:57:46,883
I'll kick it back to Scotty.

1604
01:57:47,483 --> 01:57:50,763
Anything else you want to say about the film and what do you rate it 1 to 10?

1605
01:57:50,783 --> 01:58:01,443
Well, I was going to say, like talking about the soundtrack, I actually did download this on Spotify like immediately after I watched the movie because I was just like, oh my God, these songs are incredible and I could do this all day long.

1606
01:58:02,523 --> 01:58:05,963
And now like you guys have summed this up way better than I ever like.

1607
01:58:06,203 --> 01:58:16,923
But like, yeah, I am so glad that I was able to watch this because I've actually had a screener copy of this movie on DVD from when it was released and just sat on my shelf, sat on my shelf, sat on my shelf.

1608
01:58:17,183 --> 01:58:21,363
So when I got chose to do this movie, I was like, oh yes, finally get to bust this open and watch it.

1609
01:58:21,503 --> 01:58:30,143
Still had the whole screener disclaimer at the bottom of the screen and everything, which just kind of brought back some nostalgia from my old days with my stepdad and like his movie collection.

1610
01:58:30,983 --> 01:58:42,623
But yeah, I just absolutely adore this film and like it's got that like, like you guys are saying, it's quirky, but it has like that almost like British dry sense of humor compared to like Best in Show.

1611
01:58:43,063 --> 01:58:44,663
And I freaking love that so much.

1612
01:58:44,923 --> 01:58:50,943
And like every character in this is just like very, very entertaining to watch on the screen.

1613
01:58:50,963 --> 01:58:54,683
Yeah, as for a rating for this, I would give this eight out of ten.

1614
01:58:54,703 --> 01:58:58,203
This is just very enjoyable and something I will watch over and over and over again.

1615
01:59:00,923 --> 01:59:03,603
Oh, I still love this and I did forget to mention.

1616
01:59:03,623 --> 01:59:06,263
Well, I did mention his little catchphrase.

1617
01:59:10,043 --> 01:59:12,463
But for me, this is going to sound kind of goofy.

1618
01:59:12,823 --> 01:59:16,283
But, you know, he always plays a part in these movies.

1619
01:59:16,343 --> 01:59:19,683
Not Spinal Tap, but that was in Christopher Guest's movie.

1620
01:59:19,963 --> 01:59:24,883
But for me, he's like the goat cheese that pulls the whole thing together.

1621
01:59:26,083 --> 01:59:31,143
He's his presence, and just he's never plays the same character twice.

1622
01:59:31,163 --> 01:59:37,363
He's always so out there in his horrible show ideas for the Main Street Singers.

1623
01:59:38,483 --> 01:59:42,923
And for me, I can't believe I didn't mention him when I was going through my review.

1624
01:59:42,943 --> 01:59:45,643
But like I said, he's like the glue that holds.

1625
01:59:46,463 --> 01:59:50,903
It's like that one string that goes all the way through the movie, and it's Fred Willard.

1626
01:59:51,663 --> 01:59:52,423
I got an idea.

1627
01:59:52,443 --> 01:59:53,983
I got an idea for your act.

1628
01:59:54,423 --> 01:59:56,223
You know, Kat, did they have a Moby Dick?

1629
01:59:56,603 --> 02:00:00,863
We could just throw a bunch of water on stage and say, there she blows, especially on the women.

1630
02:00:01,143 --> 02:00:03,623
Turn your guitars up, say, got it.

1631
02:00:03,643 --> 02:00:05,003
Empty the water out.

1632
02:00:05,323 --> 02:00:06,403
Especially on the women.

1633
02:00:11,683 --> 02:00:13,943
Oh, yes, this is this movie.

1634
02:00:14,443 --> 02:00:17,203
I'm always, always, always enjoyed.

1635
02:00:17,223 --> 02:00:24,163
I enjoy there is not a single frame in any of these movies that I had, I do not enjoy.

1636
02:00:24,183 --> 02:00:28,203
And it's, you can, it's one of those, you always notice something different.

1637
02:00:28,483 --> 02:00:30,043
Like same with Best in Show.

1638
02:00:30,503 --> 02:00:32,723
Even the same with Spinal Tap and Gufman.

1639
02:00:32,743 --> 02:00:37,643
Some little thing that you knew was there, but you didn't pay that much attention to it at first.

1640
02:00:37,963 --> 02:00:42,943
And I still think this is Spinal Tap and an alternate folk music universe.

1641
02:00:43,183 --> 02:00:51,623
But yeah, I'm pretty much not as much my favorite as Best in Show, but it's a solid nine out of 10 for me.

1642
02:00:52,243 --> 02:00:52,663
Iris?

1643
02:00:53,683 --> 02:00:56,383
Yeah, this is, I'm with Suzanne.

1644
02:00:56,883 --> 02:01:00,003
It's fun, it's quirky, the music is kick ass.

1645
02:01:01,103 --> 02:01:11,423
The writing, well, let's just say the ad lib is amazing, the editing too, just like the other movies that we've discussed.

1646
02:01:11,423 --> 02:01:14,703
But this one, I'm gonna give like an 8.5.

1647
02:01:16,103 --> 02:01:21,063
It's not Best in Show, but it tried really hard.

1648
02:01:21,363 --> 02:01:22,083
That's fair enough.

1649
02:01:23,303 --> 02:01:45,643
You know, harmonies are hard, and these are actors who became musicians, and some of the harmonies in this film really clicked with me, and usually when I'm at work, I'll keep one earphone off to hear what people are telling me, but when this is on, I put both earphones on, because then you miss those harmonies otherwise, and I don't like that, so.

1650
02:01:45,663 --> 02:01:50,823
Um, but yeah, it's wonderful.

1651
02:01:50,843 --> 02:01:59,203
If you haven't seen it before, you want to smile and be sad at the same time, and get some quick jokes in there.

1652
02:01:59,223 --> 02:02:03,903
I mean, Jane Lynch, she's on point with the quick jokes, and she's talking...

1653
02:02:03,943 --> 02:02:05,543
We forgot about her little trick.

1654
02:02:06,803 --> 02:02:17,663
Yeah, she's talking about her parading mature movies, and you know, she learned how to play the ukulele, when she started with her last films, Not So Tiny Tim, you know.

1655
02:02:17,683 --> 02:02:24,883
Yeah, they're just nonchalantly talking about her freaking stint in mature films.

1656
02:02:24,903 --> 02:02:26,403
Oh my God, that had me dying.

1657
02:02:27,623 --> 02:02:28,803
So funny, man.

1658
02:02:30,343 --> 02:02:32,643
But I would average with an 8.5.

1659
02:02:32,943 --> 02:02:38,083
It's not as good as Best in Show, but I get as much enjoyment out of it as I do Best in Show.

1660
02:02:38,943 --> 02:02:42,183
These are my two favorites on this episode.

1661
02:02:43,123 --> 02:02:51,523
Not Disson Guffman or Spinal Tap, but these two right here are the ones I'll go to just about every time.

1662
02:02:51,543 --> 02:02:58,903
The music has a lot to do with it, and the performances, of course, and the fact that they're all in the whole thing.

1663
02:03:02,523 --> 02:03:04,803
It's not like there's not a kink in the armor there.

1664
02:03:04,823 --> 02:03:07,503
I gotta appreciate a pure good.

1665
02:03:07,643 --> 02:03:12,163
I mentioned films that I watch, even if they're bad, that are pure good.

1666
02:03:12,183 --> 02:03:14,163
This is something I can turn on that's pure good.

1667
02:03:14,943 --> 02:03:17,403
Right there with the Village Hill movie, Suzanne.

1668
02:03:17,423 --> 02:03:18,303
Can't stop the music.

1669
02:03:20,063 --> 02:03:23,323
It's not a good movie in the traditional way, but you know what?

1670
02:03:23,723 --> 02:03:26,803
When that Milkshake song hits, I'm all for it, man.

1671
02:03:26,823 --> 02:03:28,363
It's kind of like Xanadu.

1672
02:03:30,763 --> 02:03:33,023
Loving it when I was like eight or eight.

1673
02:03:35,563 --> 02:03:36,903
Let me stop you right there.

1674
02:03:37,023 --> 02:03:38,423
You love Xanadu now, too, OK?

1675
02:03:38,443 --> 02:03:39,583
I'm just starting out there, OK?

1676
02:03:39,803 --> 02:03:45,983
Xanadu's got a special place in my heart when you had us watch it first.

1677
02:03:46,003 --> 02:03:46,763
It's really that bad.

1678
02:03:48,563 --> 02:03:51,663
Well, that was something else made you watch that, but I'll make you watch it anyway, Scotty.

1679
02:03:51,703 --> 02:03:52,703
Any day of the week, you know.

1680
02:03:54,603 --> 02:03:56,843
Oh, a funny Xanadu story.

1681
02:03:56,903 --> 02:04:11,703
When Pat and I went to New Orleans for a vacation a couple of years ago, we basically bumped into the first New Orleans-esque bar that we found, and we're sitting there drinking amazing local beer and having our third bowl of gumbo in two hours.

1682
02:04:12,363 --> 02:04:25,263
And for some reason, we had just done that podcast with Xanadu, and we're talking about the bartender from all the way across the bar with lots of people in there comes over and he's like, did you say Xanadu?

1683
02:04:27,463 --> 02:04:29,783
Because it's infectious, that's why, you know.

1684
02:04:29,803 --> 02:04:36,783
So he actually sat over there, ignored other patrons just didn't talk to me and Pat about Xanadu.

1685
02:04:37,363 --> 02:04:38,723
It was kind of awesome.

1686
02:04:39,203 --> 02:04:39,663
Nice.

1687
02:04:40,243 --> 02:04:45,903
But yeah, this has been the Mighty Wind Review, and we'll come right back to close out the show.

1688
02:04:55,775 --> 02:04:56,775
Who are you trying to reach?

1689
02:04:56,955 --> 02:04:57,715
I don't know.

1690
02:04:58,375 --> 02:04:59,555
I think you've got the wrong number.

1691
02:05:01,315 --> 02:05:02,215
I'm gonna hang up.

1692
02:05:02,235 --> 02:05:03,275
Wait, don't hang up.

1693
02:05:03,835 --> 02:05:04,955
What's that noise?

1694
02:05:05,215 --> 02:05:05,735
Popcorn.

1695
02:05:06,235 --> 02:05:07,795
You're making popcorn?

1696
02:05:07,835 --> 02:05:08,215
Uh-huh.

1697
02:05:11,895 --> 02:05:13,415
I'm about to listen to a podcast.

1698
02:05:13,855 --> 02:05:15,315
Oh really, which one?

1699
02:05:15,575 --> 02:05:17,075
Probably the Podcast on Haunted Hill.

1700
02:05:18,095 --> 02:05:20,515
The one with the two guys with the beards?

1701
02:05:21,415 --> 02:05:22,275
Yeah, Dan and Gav.

1702
02:05:27,255 --> 02:05:29,695
Most episodes, they look at two different horror movies.

1703
02:05:29,895 --> 02:05:33,595
Each episode, they look at A World of the Strange, where they look at weird things from around the world.

1704
02:05:33,675 --> 02:05:39,395
Sometimes, they even do special episodes where they look at different genres or directors' discographies and talk about them.

1705
02:05:46,175 --> 02:05:52,995
Well, you can goto legionpodcasts.com, Facebook, Twitter, or just go into iTunes and search for the podcast on Haunted Hill.

1706
02:05:53,375 --> 02:05:55,275
So you can ask me out.

1707
02:05:57,255 --> 02:06:05,255
All right, kids, this is the kiss at the end of the rainbow, as Scotty said on the opening of The One Review for A Mighty Wind.

1708
02:06:05,615 --> 02:06:25,755
And that kiss, and I haven't done this in a long time, talked about somebody who died, but we lost some pretty cool people recently and one that stood out to me as a young comic book fan who, you know, whilst my cousin was making out with his girlfriends in his bedroom while he was supposed to be hanging out with me, you know, no love lost there.

1709
02:06:25,775 --> 02:06:33,135
I dove into those long boxes in his closet and I pulled out many of books that were drawn by this man.

1710
02:06:33,155 --> 02:06:38,855
Neil Adams was a comic book artist for DC and Marvel respectively.

1711
02:06:38,875 --> 02:06:50,695
Did a lot of cool Batman books and he notoriously did the Green Lantern and Green Arrow book, which is controversial.

1712
02:06:50,795 --> 02:06:55,835
A long time ago, there was something called The Comic Code where you couldn't show certain things in a book.

1713
02:06:56,115 --> 02:07:08,335
Well, the interesting storyline where Speedy, you got Green Arrow's sidekick, which is his sister on the Arrow TV show, if you guys didn't know that they changed it up for that.

1714
02:07:08,675 --> 02:07:15,855
But Speedy got addicted to drugs, like hard drugs, and they had to be really careful around this.

1715
02:07:15,875 --> 02:07:19,735
And this book has won awards before, and he's won many awards.

1716
02:07:20,595 --> 02:07:22,275
Should be commended and loved.

1717
02:07:22,295 --> 02:07:26,755
If you haven't looked up some of Neil Adams' work, you guys should go check that out.

1718
02:07:27,435 --> 02:07:28,555
How does it pertain to cinema?

1719
02:07:28,835 --> 02:07:29,755
Well, let me tell you.

1720
02:07:30,115 --> 02:07:42,375
Neil Adams has done many cool poster art, he did the pencils for a lot of cool poster art, including a lot of the Bruce Lee knockoff films, where Bruce Lee died.

1721
02:07:43,055 --> 02:07:44,995
Enter Three Dragons he did the art for.

1722
02:07:45,595 --> 02:07:47,715
The Death of Bruce Lee he did the art for.

1723
02:07:48,515 --> 02:07:53,235
Sister Street Fighter, which is not a Bruce Lee movie, but he did the art for that.

1724
02:07:54,215 --> 02:07:56,015
He did, oh, where's this at?

1725
02:07:56,075 --> 02:08:00,795
He did Bruce Lee, The Man, The Myth, starring Bruce Lai.

1726
02:08:01,275 --> 02:08:04,695
Again, he did a lot of these Bruce Lee knockoff films, posters, pretty dope.

1727
02:08:04,695 --> 02:08:05,995
It's a pretty cool part of history.

1728
02:08:06,355 --> 02:08:10,335
But a few really cool stuff he did that you guys may know.

1729
02:08:10,755 --> 02:08:17,375
He did the poster art for William Gertler's Grizzly, with the big, big bear, you know, you love.

1730
02:08:17,475 --> 02:08:19,035
It's jaws with claws, y'all.

1731
02:08:19,055 --> 02:08:21,795
If y'all don't love Grizzly, what's wrong with you people?

1732
02:08:21,815 --> 02:08:24,875
Death Promise is a okay exploitation movie.

1733
02:08:24,895 --> 02:08:25,955
He did the art for that.

1734
02:08:26,715 --> 02:08:27,675
Boom, boom, boom, boom.

1735
02:08:27,915 --> 02:08:33,415
Westworld, he did the poster art for that with fricking Yul Brynner with the robot face.

1736
02:08:33,615 --> 02:08:34,815
Pretty fricking terrifying.

1737
02:08:35,155 --> 02:08:40,235
And last but certainly not least, amongst other things, he did the poster art for Phantom of the Paradise.

1738
02:08:41,915 --> 02:08:43,835
And that's loved amongst many people.

1739
02:08:43,915 --> 02:08:45,215
And I'm one of those people.

1740
02:08:45,315 --> 02:08:51,755
So Neil Adams, for all the special time you've given me over the years, I got to meet you a couple of times over the years.

1741
02:08:52,315 --> 02:08:53,615
I think if you and Mr.

1742
02:08:53,635 --> 02:08:57,675
George Perez died this year, it'd be a very sad time for the comic book world.

1743
02:08:57,895 --> 02:09:01,315
And I'm thinking about it right now because he's got stage four cancer.

1744
02:09:01,335 --> 02:09:03,055
Yo, just keep losing these greats.

1745
02:09:03,075 --> 02:09:05,475
I mean, it's not just Stan Lee you should be blowing.

1746
02:09:05,495 --> 02:09:09,835
I mean, people are like, oh, you're picking on poor Stan Lee again?

1747
02:09:10,055 --> 02:09:17,135
No, I'm not picking on poor Stan Lee again, but there's more to love out there as you guys should know.

1748
02:09:17,275 --> 02:09:20,195
And yeah, go check out Neil Adams' work.

1749
02:09:20,335 --> 02:09:32,015
I'm sure there's many appendices that have his work in there that you can buy, trade paperbacks, outright back issues just sitting at your stores, your comic book stores.

1750
02:09:32,035 --> 02:09:33,415
Please support your comic book stores.

1751
02:09:33,435 --> 02:09:35,415
As I'm recording this, this is Friday.

1752
02:09:35,435 --> 02:09:38,835
The next day is free comic book day.

1753
02:09:38,855 --> 02:09:41,275
The first Saturday in May is free comic book day.

1754
02:09:41,655 --> 02:09:58,755
Now, what that is is the distributors of the comics give these stores a bunch of free books, like promotional free books for your kids to come inside and to get, you know, but this is meant for you to go into the store and support those stores that are fucking dying.

1755
02:09:58,975 --> 02:10:00,115
And it makes me sad.

1756
02:10:00,475 --> 02:10:13,895
It makes me sad in my cockles, in my sub-cockle area, that this is a thing, that comic book stores are dying, because there's one around me that's maybe, it's still a little ways away.

1757
02:10:14,175 --> 02:10:14,995
But you know what?

1758
02:10:15,315 --> 02:10:16,335
You need to support them.

1759
02:10:16,815 --> 02:10:22,955
Go buy your Cards Without Humanity, go buy your Magic Packs, go buy all this stuff from your local store.

1760
02:10:22,975 --> 02:10:24,255
Don't go to fucking Target.

1761
02:10:24,275 --> 02:10:27,855
Don't, and this bear's repeating, don't fucking go to those places to get this stuff.

1762
02:10:27,875 --> 02:10:31,555
I hide shit at those stores when I see it there, okay?

1763
02:10:31,935 --> 02:10:35,955
Strange to say, but this is what I'm passionate about.

1764
02:10:35,975 --> 02:10:40,955
Celebrating the little man, you know, and helping them out.

1765
02:10:41,275 --> 02:10:42,735
I mean, geez Louise, man.

1766
02:10:42,755 --> 02:10:44,175
I mean, they're dying.

1767
02:10:44,375 --> 02:10:45,755
Where would kids go to hang out?

1768
02:10:45,975 --> 02:10:50,675
You know, they want to be adventurous, to hang out with other like-minded nerds like themselves.

1769
02:10:50,935 --> 02:10:54,755
Public Service Announcement, you know, and so many more things.

1770
02:10:54,775 --> 02:11:02,795
And last but not least, you know, we discussed depression in a major way on the Mighty Wind review.

1771
02:11:03,115 --> 02:11:05,915
It was really a little short thing, but you know what?

1772
02:11:06,155 --> 02:11:18,975
If you're feeling, you know, that low, if you feel you need somebody to talk to, you know, now, in the age we live in, there's more and more opportunities for you to find somebody to talk to if your loved ones aren't good enough.

1773
02:11:19,555 --> 02:11:25,615
They have, you know, therapists online, like Zoom meeting therapists you can talk to.

1774
02:11:25,635 --> 02:11:35,335
Of course, the suicide hotline, if you're that, you're that, you know, down, you know, you can call them, I guess.

1775
02:11:35,875 --> 02:11:38,215
And that number, I'm gonna give it to you right now.

1776
02:11:38,235 --> 02:11:44,275
Available 24 hours a day, 800-273-8255, if you're in the States.

1777
02:11:44,575 --> 02:11:46,415
I mean, people can say it all the time.

1778
02:11:46,475 --> 02:11:47,295
I'm one of those people.

1779
02:11:47,395 --> 02:11:53,815
And that's why you probably won't hear from me for, you'll hear from me soon, but like there's times where there's been long gaps in this show.

1780
02:11:54,795 --> 02:12:00,795
I feel down and I don't wanna talk to the people that I love and push that evil on them.

1781
02:12:01,255 --> 02:12:02,095
I don't wanna do that.

1782
02:12:02,155 --> 02:12:02,755
But you know what?

1783
02:12:03,115 --> 02:12:04,055
It helps talk to people.

1784
02:12:04,075 --> 02:12:09,035
And I've always said this podcast is my best therapy and it has been.

1785
02:12:09,055 --> 02:12:14,295
It's got me out of some dumpy, some dumpy, skanky situations.

1786
02:12:14,455 --> 02:12:17,875
And if you feel you need to talk to somebody, fuck it, pick me up.

1787
02:12:18,055 --> 02:12:19,075
I mean, that's fine.

1788
02:12:20,615 --> 02:12:23,535
I can't say I've been there all the way, but I'm a good listener.

1789
02:12:25,255 --> 02:12:29,795
So, as Jerry Springer would say, take care of yourself and each other.

1790
02:12:29,815 --> 02:12:33,755
I'm gonna say that too, because it's very important.

1791
02:12:34,675 --> 02:12:35,735
And then a down note.

1792
02:12:36,195 --> 02:12:37,495
Let's not do that.

1793
02:12:37,815 --> 02:12:39,255
Thank you for eight great years.

1794
02:12:39,955 --> 02:12:54,235
Look for the next episode, which should be part three of this and the final part, where we discuss for your consideration with Derrick Boubou-Boujoie and Mascots with One Court Psyops.

1795
02:12:54,655 --> 02:13:00,855
And then me and Ricky will have one more episode of Crippled Theater for you, sandwiched in the middle of those two reviews.

1796
02:13:00,875 --> 02:13:02,535
And that'll be part three.

1797
02:13:02,795 --> 02:13:11,915
And then after that, I'm gonna move on to doing some shows without my co-host if they don't want to show up, because I'm gonna give them a brand opportunity to have a break.

1798
02:13:12,215 --> 02:13:15,975
If they don't want to take a little break, they can join in with whoever else I have on the show.

1799
02:13:16,535 --> 02:13:18,655
But I'm gonna record some surplus shows.

1800
02:13:18,995 --> 02:13:24,995
I got Kate and Madge from The Eternal Sunshine of the Not-So-Spotless Mind.

1801
02:13:25,015 --> 02:13:26,635
See, I almost messed it up, too, Heather.

1802
02:13:26,655 --> 02:13:27,255
See what I did there?

1803
02:13:27,935 --> 02:13:31,315
They're gonna come on for two films.

1804
02:13:31,675 --> 02:13:34,995
There's Specters and The Electricity, perhaps.

1805
02:13:35,015 --> 02:13:40,415
We're gonna do Ghosts in the Machine from 1993, and Pulse, I think, from 1986.

1806
02:13:40,655 --> 02:13:45,635
Not the Asian one, the American one, with Clif DeYoung and a young Joey Lawrence.

1807
02:13:45,655 --> 02:13:46,475
I think it's Joey Lawrence.

1808
02:13:46,495 --> 02:13:47,295
Maybe Matthew Lawrence.

1809
02:13:47,395 --> 02:13:52,435
I forget which Lawrence brother it is, but electricity's alive inside the houses, killing people.

1810
02:13:52,455 --> 02:13:54,635
There's no explanation, and I kinda love.

1811
02:13:55,055 --> 02:13:56,955
We'll hear that coming soon.

1812
02:13:56,975 --> 02:14:00,595
Hope to get Dan and Gab on the show very soon.

1813
02:14:01,595 --> 02:14:03,175
Cameron, I'm sure, will be on the show.

1814
02:14:03,195 --> 02:14:10,035
There's plans to do another Beef Out of the Cannon episode with the Russell, and hopefully Lady Lee Hardy will be with us.

1815
02:14:10,055 --> 02:14:18,455
We're gonna do The Apple, and America 3000 together, like two different kinds of post-apocalyptic movies, in Cannon style.

1816
02:14:18,775 --> 02:14:20,175
Sasquatch on the roller skates.

1817
02:14:20,415 --> 02:14:21,255
Gotta love it.

1818
02:14:21,475 --> 02:14:29,615
But anyhow, I'll leave much more spoilers to that, but I have a list of shows, and I think I know which one the Dan Bone will wanna pick.

1819
02:14:29,735 --> 02:14:30,835
I'm just gonna throw it out there.

1820
02:14:31,975 --> 02:14:36,835
This has been your Cinema Beef Podcast, where if you've got beef, I've got the grinder.

1821
02:14:37,215 --> 02:14:38,095
Thanks for listening.
