So many of our favorites to I like roller.
0:04
Now they're being bashed. I guess.
0:07
That's what we should expect on the bullied.
0:11
Nostalgia podcast. Hello everyone.
0:18
We're back with the bullied. Nostalgia podcast.
0:21
I'm joined by kylin. Hello chance.
0:25
It's me. Enjoy!
0:27
I'm here. It is a very snowy day.
0:30
Day. And we're here recording an
0:33
episode for Honey. We Shrunk Ourselves.
0:38
So, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is a very good movie and I don't
0:46
know about you, John. It certainly means something to
0:49
me the boys and I have been playing a video game called
0:53
grounded, which is essentially Honey.
0:55
I Shrunk the Kids, the video game where you have to survive
0:59
in the Yard. So a Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
1:04
themed episode gelled really nicely and I think I've probably
1:09
only saw Honey. We Shrunk the Kids, the original
1:12
movie once or twice, okay? Because somewhere along the way,
1:16
our parents decided they would never buy an original movie.
1:20
They would only by sequels to movies or 3 equals or whatever
1:24
that is right? So that's the segue into where I
1:28
was going with this. John and I had made an agreement
1:31
that it had to be movies that we owned When We Were Young.
1:35
And we never owned Honey. I Shrunk the Kids.
1:38
However, we did own the third movie in the series.
1:42
Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves and it's only now that I'm realizing
1:47
how many of the movies we've done have not been the original
1:51
movie. We did Superman for lab 4 times
1:55
3. Just wait Batman 3.
2:00
It's pretty much all been sequel movies.
2:04
Why mess with a good thing. So today we're doing Honey, I
2:09
Shrunk the Kids lesser worse brother, Honey, We Shrunk
2:14
Ourselves and before we get into what we thought of it, or how
2:21
this movie came to be chance, would you like to summarize what
2:26
this movie is about? Alright, so, Our two characters
2:30
named Wayne and Gordon stilinski.
2:32
There are two scientists and inventors and one of them builds
2:36
a shrink machine. The concept is they were going
2:39
to watch the kids over the weekend, but through hilarious
2:43
hijinks him his brother and their two wives.
2:47
All end up getting Shrunk, the Kids thinking they've been left
2:51
alone all weekend, get up to Home Alone, style Shenanigans,
2:55
making messes eating, whole bunch of junk food, that kind of
2:58
thing. And Into the movie is all about
3:01
the adults, trying to find a way to make themselves big and
3:04
communicate with kids chance. You said that the adults shrunk
3:07
themselves? I wouldn't call that accurate.
3:10
I'd say it's set of croquet balls.
3:13
Shrunk them consistently a croquet ball would fall from the
3:18
ceiling and Shrink them. Yeah.
3:20
If we're looking at the antagonist of the movie, It's
3:23
rabbit. So the first movie was Be
3:30
successful so much so that they pumped out a sequel.
3:35
And the sequel did well financially but went in a
3:41
completely different direction. It's called Honey.
3:43
I Blew Up the Kid which is not about explosions.
3:46
It's right. It's about Rick Moranis making
3:50
their toddler big instead of small and I remember seeing that
3:56
movie in theaters and it doesn't have the same Peel as the first
4:02
movie instead, it's like Godzilla movie with a toddler,
4:06
essentially. Yeah.
4:07
Because they're just tons of movies, especially kids, movies
4:11
about shrinking down to a small size.
4:13
I feel like and it has to do with the fact that people find
4:16
it fascinating. Yeah.
4:16
It's a different perspective and it makes everything that we take
4:20
for granted epic and scary. So this movie was a return to
4:24
form. It was going back to the basics
4:27
saying, hey, let's make another Other big hit like Honey, I
4:32
Shrunk the Kids but this time they're not in the backyard
4:36
they're inside of her inside a house.
4:38
So this movie was supposed to get a theatrical release in a
4:42
budget of 40 million dollars. How much was the first one?
4:46
You know that? I think the budget in the first
4:48
one was 26 million dollars. Wow.
4:51
So they were going all in and then somewhere along the lines,
4:55
they decided, no, this is going direct to DVD directive.
5:00
S. Yeah, so that hurt them.
5:02
They slash the budget from 42, 7 million dollars.
5:08
And I would say it shows, I think a good amount of the movie
5:13
looks pretty good rather than use visual effects.
5:16
They just make physical objects, a good example being.
5:19
There's a part where he's in a stereo, the entire stereo is an
5:22
actual room. They built out of foam and
5:24
cardboard. And yeah, it doesn't like but
5:27
when they do visual effects like there's a scene where there's a
5:29
hot Wheels car. That scene looks very bad.
5:33
Yeah, I was surprised at how many jokes in this movie.
5:39
I enjoy, I expected this movie to be a dud, but I think that
5:45
there's a fair bit of the original planned for theatrical
5:51
release movie left in this. It's actually not a super bad
5:57
movie but I think that the budget really lets it down the
6:03
visual effects are weak and John made a comment.
6:08
It feels like their size is super inconsistent.
6:11
I think that's part of that. Same problem the green screen a
6:15
lot. There's a lot of times where
6:17
it's some background, that's just been dropped in behind them
6:20
and often the background perspective seems off and just
6:26
across the board. I think the visual effects in
6:31
this movie are what is the weakest part?
6:35
Yeah. Going back to what you said
6:37
earlier is there a lot of great one-liners the child actors in
6:42
this movie are just okay, in my opinion but the adults had
6:45
actors I feel like really steal the show.
6:48
For me. Good example being the Mike
6:50
Moranis is named Rick Moranis. Rick Moranis, phenomenal actor.
6:53
He's hilarious all the time and the other a person plays Gordon
6:59
his brother. Although not as funny as Rick,
7:01
the two of them have very good chemistry and they're just funny
7:04
when they're together. Yeah, those two especially but
7:07
the wives also had me laughing a handful of times I was being
7:11
intentional about watching Rick Moranis.
7:14
And like you said, even when he doesn't have anything to do, he
7:19
is on. Even when it's other people's
7:22
lying, he's making himself busy. He's active in a scene, his
7:27
visual presence presence. Since is on point, 100% of the
7:33
time. This is Rick, Moranis is last
7:36
movie that he ever made. Unfortunately his wife passed
7:41
away and so he retired from acting to be a single parent to
7:47
raise his family. Obviously, he had this series of
7:51
movies named after him, but Rick Moranis was phenomenal.
7:55
In everything. It's just one of those scenarios
7:58
where it is rolling. Ders is maybe next only to build
8:03
Marie. The funniest thing in that show,
8:06
it's just unfortunate that will never see any of his work again.
8:09
Hmm, he's definitely a talented actor and that was a big talk.
8:14
Now Ghostbuster remakes are commonplace, but one of the
8:20
major conversations that they were having throughout the 2000s
8:25
was, could they get Bill Murray and could they get Rick Moranis?
8:29
He's obviously they never got Rick Moranis to come back.
8:34
Allison Mac. Mmm.
8:37
So Melville was a TV show about Superman when he was a teenager
8:43
when he was a teenager that both Tim and I were into Tim, would
8:47
sort of eventually take a break on the show and I would get
8:51
super invested in, watch it from start to finish and aliceandmac
8:55
played the character of Chloe in Smallville, which was a
8:58
character made up for the TV show.
9:00
She wasn't in comic books before that.
9:02
Anyways, I sort of developed. Developed.
9:05
I don't know if I would say a crush on Allison Mac but she
9:08
certainly was my favorite Smallville character and was
9:12
always rooting for her and caring about the scenes that she
9:15
was in the storyline. She was a part of.
9:18
And so, I don't know when I realized that she was the one in
9:22
this movie. He was the one in this movie,
9:24
who was a lot. It was a while ago.
9:26
I think I like came up to one day and I was like, She's in
9:31
like it was this Epiphany? Probably like eight years ago or
9:35
something like that. And so well John Henry watches
9:39
this show and it may be on a regular basis.
9:41
No, I'm sure when I discovered it out what to YouTube and
9:44
watched he'll watch one episode of Smallville.
9:46
Then, Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves, then it up to the
9:48
plaza. So Allison Mac is actually
9:51
probably like 15 years old as an actress in this movie.
9:55
I'm guessing and Chef said the kid.
9:59
Actors are just okay. I would say she's better than
10:02
okay. Oh yeah, she is.
10:03
She is very good in this movie for a child actor.
10:08
She is on point. There's one part where they're
10:11
making fun of each other in the car and it cuts to the moms and
10:16
it looks back and the facial expression that Allison, Matt
10:19
gives you just like rolls her eyes and cringes, I was like, oh
10:22
my goodness, that's why she's in character.
10:29
She's nailing it, it was very funny because I, in my research,
10:35
I knew that Mila Kunis is also an Israeli and John's jaw like
10:40
hit the floor. He's like, is that is that?
10:43
But she's so young in his movie. She's got to be 12.
10:47
Maybe it's, it does catch you off guard, okay?
10:51
That brings the question. How young are the two boys?
10:54
There are three kids essentially who were the main characters.
10:57
So all I can say did. Definitively is Rick.
11:01
Moranis is kid in this movie. The one who plays Alfalfa in
11:06
Little Rascals is meant to be the toddler who got blown up in
11:14
the second movie, and this movie takes place 10 years after that
11:19
movie. So he's so if he was one then,
11:24
he would be 11 now. I get really excited.
11:29
When I see characters in movies that I was closely following and
11:34
TV shows like, yeah. When I watched lost, I would
11:37
watch every single movie that had those actors in it.
11:41
Yep. Or seamless Smallville because I
11:43
spent ten Seasons hanging out with Allison Mac.
11:46
She was the highlight of this movie for me.
11:49
Yes. Here's the downside since
11:53
Smallville it's come out, that aliceandmac was in a leadership
12:00
role in a cult called Nixie. Mm, and it would essentially
12:07
luer in powerful women and turn them into brainwashed.
12:13
Slaves of the leader of the cult, they would physically
12:17
brand them and it sounds like Like there was some sexual
12:23
nature to it as well, they became slaves to the hierarchy.
12:32
The part where Alfalfa says, we will be your slaves.
12:40
Aliceandmac has not aged well at all, because literally, that's
12:46
what she would go on to do is make slaves of all these people.
12:50
But yeah, I it's tough. I hope that she finds the help
12:56
that she needs. She was manipulated just as
12:59
anyone else was, but at a certain point, You're also part
13:04
of the problem and she certainly had become part of the problem,
13:08
okay, Tiki man. So what Kaiser referencing here
13:12
is a radiator, current character over me.
13:15
Abby, plot in this movie, no, the tiki man is the reason why
13:19
the entire plot and it does not wrong.
13:25
The reason why Rick Moranis accidentally shrinks himself is
13:30
because his wife is Sick of having a seven-foot tiki statue
13:34
in their Hall and so she tells him to get rid of it.
13:38
And instead of doing that, he secretly plants and shrink it.
13:43
So that like the size of a name, they will appease his wife but
13:48
he uses a key. Chains can have it with him at
13:50
all times. So this guy wins a Nobel Prize
13:54
and spends all of the money he gets from the tiki Steinem tiki
13:58
statue in all honesty. I actually really like that.
14:02
So plug is Rick. Moranis is a really good job of
14:05
just being a strange eccentric guy.
14:08
And having a giant seven-foot-tall tiki statue that
14:11
he loves just as much as his wife is a good way to do that up
14:15
until the actual shrinking. In this movie, I am 100% on
14:20
board. The dialogue is good, the
14:22
characters are likable and vocally said, I'm enjoying this
14:26
way more than I expected. I want to keep watching this
14:30
movie I think When it actually gets into the movie, the movie
14:34
starts to fall down a bunch more.
14:36
But 100%, the fact that Rick Moranis is going to such extreme
14:42
lengths, to lie, to his wife, just so you can keep this Tiki.
14:47
It's not admirable, but it is charming.
14:50
However, at the end of the movie as a compromise, he makes the
14:54
tiki man 100 feet tall and puts it in his backyard because
14:58
that's how you do relationships and I can relate to that.
15:01
I was just saying to John at last year in b.c. dinosaur
15:08
museum was closing down and they were selling off all their
15:11
animatronics. I wanted so badly to sodium
15:16
intake is my entire life savings to buy a Brachiosaurus that was
15:21
taller than my house that I could just keep in my backyard
15:26
would be, like, where do you live the Brachiosaurus.
15:29
House Brachiosaurus is Nemo. My favorite dinosaur but it's
15:33
just, it would be so cool to have one as big as your house.
15:36
You have to lock him up. I think people would come and
15:38
try and steal how you don't lock up your house.
15:44
I can take that away. I'm really saying is to bring my
15:53
friends. Okay, step one, we steal a
16:00
great. Steal a dinosaur step for you
16:05
profit. No, the tiki is a good
16:11
instigating device and surprisingly, it was weird that
16:16
unlike the tiki man is, is the best way to start this movie.
16:21
Tiki statues, a good instigator, unlike random croquet sets which
16:26
are really dumb to explain that. Essentially what happens is they
16:30
shrink, the Key and they go and look for it on the ground.
16:34
And that's what I'm looking for it.
16:35
I'm going to paint the machine is shaking that shrink them and
16:39
the vibrations move a croquet ball from up above that falls
16:43
into a track that comically rolls down and Falls onto the
16:48
button that then shrinks them and then the wives come looking
16:51
for them and the same. And the exact same thing.
16:53
Happens. Another croquet ball falls down
16:54
this track and the timing of the balls to fall when there's
16:59
people there, like if balls were Constantly falling, maybe that
17:03
makes more sense. But the ball like waits for 15
17:08
minutes for the next victims. The first time I feel was clever
17:12
the second time. It's not.
17:14
I think they could have just done a much more interesting
17:17
way. They could have had a rat that
17:19
crawled on the ground and man I would have been fine with that.
17:25
Why do we not have that Ant-Man movie?
17:28
Why don't we just have a Honey? I Shrunk the Kids at Man movie.
17:31
Gee, I'd watch that or somebody's permanently shrunk
17:34
Marvel Executives. Is the listen, I'm pretty sure
17:36
that's what the Ant-Man versus Yellow Jacket fight is, were
17:39
there on the Thomas that shrank from that scene.
17:41
Is phenomenal. Yeah.
17:43
But what I'm saying is just give us that, give us like an atom
17:47
movie. So Adam is a DC character who
17:50
shrinks as well. Yeah, and he does a lot of stuff
17:55
where, you know, he rides on frogs and he fights alongside or
18:00
against tiny people. Don't do that.
18:03
I mean, but give us stuff. That's relatable.
18:06
They keep going so small that they're between molecules and
18:11
quantum foam. And so now you're just in a
18:13
Sci-Fi movie, but I like to see where you're just watching that
18:19
Ant-Man movie from the ground, you know, right.
18:22
Like he gets stuck small or there's a reason for him to
18:26
remain small, we get to see that stuff.
18:30
A tiny bit in the first Movie. And then the second movie
18:34
becomes more about. How can you push this
18:36
technology? Don't push the technology.
18:39
Push the storytelling device, right?
18:42
Sorry I took you off track though.
18:45
I do have a note here that I think Dad's probably going to
18:49
want to take a troll up. Is I am going on vacation and no
18:53
one can stop me. It's relates to Rick, Moranis
18:57
his wife. I really enjoyed her acting,
18:59
choose a fun. She was all over the place.
19:01
She was Eight, she is not the mom in the other movies.
19:05
She was a recast for this movie probably because they had no
19:08
budget but she does very good. I think the weakest part with
19:14
her in it is when the Cockroach wants to eat her that scene is
19:18
horrifying. Like genuinely it gets Play-Doh
19:22
for Laughs. Yeah that's a terrible fight
19:25
scene. She's just lucky that he wanted
19:28
to eat her clothes and not her. Okay?
19:31
There There's a scene later on the movie, where they meet a
19:33
daddy long legs, and it's definitely animated to be cute.
19:37
But I can tell, if you have Arachnophobia, it's still be
19:39
scary. In this scenario, they took a
19:41
cockroach which is still scary to some people and animated it
19:45
to make it worse. Is an inch away from her trying
19:48
to tear off her legs. And this happens for a total of
19:51
30 seconds while she screams satisfying to watch that
19:55
cockroach. Get stuck in the glue, though
19:57
and dryer. I do kind of want to talk about
20:01
the daddy longlegs because I will say that, that thing is
20:05
still a creature that would eat them alive.
20:08
Yak I made the same joke about eight times about it, randomly
20:12
attacking them. Yeah.
20:14
So I think you made a sound effect to yes, because there's a
20:18
point where the mothers have to get up on top of the kitchen
20:21
counter. So they can get one of their
20:23
sons ways medication. So they domesticated daddy long
20:27
legs, so they began. Yeah.
20:28
They befriended a deal. Long legs.
20:30
It's a symbiotic relationship whereby if they create from a
20:35
few spider webs it will help transport them up the kitchen
20:39
counter. That thing is clearly a
20:42
terrifying Beast. They say earlier in the movie
20:45
that daddy long legs are so nice.
20:48
They eat other bugs, they are bugs, they are the size of bugs,
20:52
guys, making all these jokes about the daddy longlegs eating
20:56
the moms, but I look over at Kyle enough.
20:59
Sure. And he's covered his eyes and
21:01
his face because he can't stand to watch the daddy longlegs
21:06
scene. I hate it.
21:08
It isn't too scary. It's grotesque-looking, you're
21:12
scared. No, I wasn't scared.
21:16
I wasn't scared to connect with the daddy longlegs.
21:21
She reaches out, her hand, and tickles, his mandibles.
21:24
All four of them. There was a scene in this that
21:29
props for them. I don't feel like a ton of
21:31
movies were doing then nowadays. It's a very common conversation
21:36
but this movie, tackled consent. Yeah.
21:40
That was impressive. Yeah.
21:42
Especially for the 19th 1997. Is that it happens?
21:46
Yeah, I was in matches. Crushing, on this boy, she tells
21:50
him that he pulls her aside at a party.
21:54
So it's just the two of them and she kisses.
21:57
Her. And she says, what are you
22:00
doing? You didn't ask me.
22:02
Yeah, and he says, well, this is what I do.
22:06
You wanted this and she's like, no.
22:08
I would have told you if I wanted this I think nowadays you
22:13
guys probably wouldn't be shocked to see that in a movie
22:17
but 25 years ago, yeah, that was not a common Trope.
22:25
Another very important thing that this movie covers is one of
22:30
the boys has a magazine. And yeah that's an entire scene
22:34
where their backs are to the camera and they're talking about
22:39
it and obviously magazine it's meant to Mabel - the dirty
22:43
magazine and the one kids like man, if my dad saw this, he
22:48
would freak out. Yeah.
22:50
And then like they put the magazine on the floor for some
22:53
reason and walk away Sports Illustrated for It's because
22:59
Rick Moranis is grooming him to be a scientist.
23:03
The idea of him doing something sports-related is forbidden.
23:09
Something actually akin to, that that I found really kind of keep
23:12
Nala, seal, and that was, at the end of the movie.
23:16
He decides to go to baseball camp, the kid that is and
23:20
afterwards. Rick Moranis is driving him home
23:23
and there's this little part where they talked about how his
23:25
dad and memorized all the, Batting averages.
23:28
And there was a resolution at the end of the movie where he
23:30
said, you could do whatever you wanted, but it was like that
23:32
scene again, showed that Rick was actually trying to get into
23:35
his son's interest in trying to connect with them.
23:37
That's good. They're Dynamic.
23:40
There's a scene early on where the kid runs out of peanut
23:43
butter and a recovery rattus. Find solution is to find peanuts
23:49
and put them in the coffee grinder.
23:51
Yeah. And like it's just like black
23:53
dust. Is that guy?
23:57
About it says there's grounds in here and your accessible, it's
24:01
decaf. It's a really good seed, like
24:06
Dad has to be so clueless. Most other resolutions in this
24:12
movie happen in the matter of 30 seconds, 30 seconds, once they
24:16
all return to normal size, there's about six things that
24:20
happen in the span of 30 seconds.
24:23
Seems like I'm sorry, honey. I'll get rid of the Tiki man.
24:26
I'm sorry. Sorry, brother.
24:28
You can run the company. I'm not good and I'm sorry, I
24:31
don't care about the little things anymore.
24:32
You can keep the teak. I'm sorry, I should have trusted
24:35
you. Yeah, it's the only one that
24:37
wasn't. There was.
24:38
I'm sorry. I should have taken my medicine.
24:40
Yeah, that one that kid is never taking that medicine.
24:45
Yeah, one of the kids has a potassium deficiency.
24:49
Okay. The ebrake Yes, he break.
24:53
It's a funny joke until it's not a joke.
24:58
Essentially, one of the moms is extremely paranoid, but over
25:03
everything. And so she pulls up to the house
25:07
and then puts blocks under the tires.
25:09
And the other one was like, why are you doing that?
25:13
She said, well, the engine was making noise.
25:15
I was worried. Maybe the brakes would fail.
25:18
You can never be too careful. That's Pretty funny that would
25:24
never happen if the engine was failing.
25:27
The thing that makes the car go would affect the thing.
25:31
That makes the car dog anyways. But so then they get shrunk and
25:35
they like didn't put blocks out of the tires, they climb up to a
25:39
window and they're looking at their card like look our cars
25:42
there, the kids will see the car there and know that we're here.
25:45
And then the car just starts driving into another person's
25:49
driveway. It rolls away which Which in
25:52
itself is also funny except that it rolls down the driveway
25:57
across the street and up into the other driveway.
26:00
Gravity means that it would come back down.
26:04
Except that we established. That gravity is the antagonist
26:10
in this movie. It is like this whole subplot,
26:13
where it's Rick Moranis versus gravity.
26:17
It's funny. We actually had a discussion
26:18
about it and there were a lot of scenes in which the characters
26:21
Fall From Grace. It's like there's one part where
26:24
they fall down a laundry chute. There's another one where they
26:26
fall off the Second Story on to the first story window.
26:29
And then there's another one where they fall into dip and dad
26:32
made a couple of comments about how they should probably be
26:35
dead. Then I came to the realization
26:37
that if there are three quarters of an inch tall, as stated in
26:40
the movie by that math, is that their terminal velocity is very
26:45
low, and that's why you can drop a mouse.
26:47
When the Empire State Building and it'll survive when you're
26:49
that small, gravity doesn't affect you the same way.
26:52
Way. So in all honesty, all the times
26:54
they must survive, it would actually you would be a little
26:57
dazed but it can get up and walk away.
26:59
My YouTube channel that occurs because that is what is class, 2
27:02
1. Yeah.
27:03
And they have a series of videos called the size of life and it's
27:06
fascinating. Yeah.
27:08
The idea is amounts of a drop from the Empire State Building
27:10
would get up and walk away. A dog would have its legs broken
27:14
but an elephant would explode just because of how size affects
27:18
things when they hit the ground. I'm seven a dog's legs with her.
27:22
What is it on the Empire State Building to begin with John?
27:25
You're not sad about the elephant food explode, like a
27:28
water balloon, I feel a strong connection to dogs.
27:32
I mean yes Rosco were talking about you frost was our dog room
27:38
sitting in on the conversation but I want that truck.
27:41
What about me? Let's address the elephant in
27:47
the room. Carl?
27:48
You could go down. Anyways, they have to Get off of
27:52
things constantly in the movie but it only occurred to me about
27:56
a quarter of the way through, so they could just jump off
27:58
anything and I'm sorry, it'd be like falling through molasses
28:02
not falling, normally, you're right, every time they would
28:07
fall, I'd be like, so they're dead then you're like, oh,
28:10
because there's so much smaller. Their terminal velocity would be
28:13
much smaller as well. I was like, oh, my goodness.
28:17
So I think that there is something to be said They need
28:22
to treat the viewer as being really dumb because I'm really
28:26
dumb. I would have never thought of
28:27
that, but you're right. They could have just been on the
28:30
bed and been like, well, let's jump down.
28:32
They keep saying things, like, we'd never survive a trip down
28:35
the stairs. Yeah, it turns out they would
28:37
totally fine but we don't think in those parameters.
28:42
And so, you need to tell the story in a way that the normal
28:46
person yet and they could have solved that pretty easily.
28:48
If they just had a scene where they actually fell from a really
28:50
high height and then go, Gordon or whatever shot up music, how
28:53
are we still alive? Just a no.
28:55
Are we're very smaller terminal velocities really low, most of
28:59
the science jargon in this movie makes sense, the translator for
29:03
dogs. They're very 0, that becomes a
29:07
microphone. That's my biggest pet.
29:09
Peeve is night. I chose not to focus on.
29:12
Yeah, I don't know how to turn the stereo, which he sells.
29:16
What sound. Yeah, into an input sound and
29:19
then also an output sound at the same time.
29:21
Very Confusing. No.
29:23
Um, which employ of course what I was saying is that whenever
29:26
they would mention like the science of why something works,
29:30
it just gets in bananas but yeah, you're doing about surface
29:33
area of the bubbles. Yeah, things like that.
29:36
That that makes sense. I surprising most of the Science
29:39
tracks. Speaking of tracks, let's talk
29:43
about the terrible Hot Wheels scene.
29:45
They have a scene where they're in one of the kids rooms and
29:49
they decide the only way they can get into the hallway.
29:52
Ali is, if they go on a Hot Wheels car, go on the track, and
29:55
then Shake themselves off of it or to get off early.
29:58
It looks super cool. And then you watch the scene and
30:03
it's green screamed. So unbelievably poorly, that's
30:07
the whole movie for me. It ruins that entire scene,
30:10
which seems so cool in concept. Okay, let's jump to closing,
30:17
John and lead us off. How are you feeling about this?
30:20
I think this was an Easter gift. Wow, I think you're right.
30:24
I would have never thought of that it'll keep going.
30:28
I might so, we should have watched visit Easter.
30:31
Yeah. So I can't remember if I held
30:34
onto this VHS or not, I've held on to a couple of Keepers over
30:39
the years, but if we open up the VHS cover it'll say kill XOXO
30:44
Happy Easter. Yeah, 1997 or whatever.
30:48
So it was an Easter movie for me the movies, good.
30:54
I enjoyed watching it. I actually thought the actors
30:57
and actresses. Did a really good job.
30:59
Yeah, this is held up surprisingly.
31:02
Well yeah, I was sure we were going to bully this movie.
31:06
Yeah, 7. But in dollars I it's not great
31:11
but it's not bad by any stretch. Yeah.
31:15
This is This is the worst of these movies might actually go
31:20
back and watch Honey. I Shrunk the Kids and Honey I
31:24
Blew Up the Kid the the Gordon. He's totally the dad from
31:29
dinosaurs a Oh, really didn't you hear?
31:33
Oh, oh, okay. Yeah.
31:35
No, I can hear it now. That's right.
31:36
Nice to watch the movie. Again, it's a great show.
31:41
You re-watch, dinosaur. We're off on a tangent but you
31:43
re-watch dinosaurs recently. I well like 10 years ago.
31:47
Okay, pretty reasonable. His seems like that show is not
31:57
for adult. Yeah, it's for yeah.
31:59
And I didn't know that as a kid. Yeah.
32:01
Ten years ago, I was an adult and I've lost fat like wow, I
32:05
would not have understood half these things as a kid.
32:07
Like I remember the episode about drugs.
32:10
Yeah. I was like, oh, this is, this is
32:12
a little heavy-handed as a kid. Yeah, but now going back and
32:16
seeing that it's all about racism climate change.
32:19
Yeah, yeah. Oh okay.
32:22
Yeah, I guess the drugs were too heavy-handed.
32:26
I was just the only one. I was old enough to understand.
32:29
Thanks Triceratops table. To rethink my life.
32:35
So would you wash this again? Yeah.
32:38
Yeah I think I would and just realize we all have different
32:43
ratings. Yeah exactly one through five.
32:45
Would you watch again as John? When will I watch this again?
32:48
His dad Kyle. What are you?
32:50
He's won through cookie over. Yeah, I'd say he was a short
32:54
break for me. I can't believe I'm gonna say
33:04
this but I would watch this movie again.
33:08
I don't plan to, but in most of my other ratings, I would only
33:16
watch it if it landed in my lap. But now, this but it might as
33:20
well. I probably won't because I don't
33:23
have enough time in the day to watch mediocre movies.
33:27
But this is not a movie that I would avoid, which certainly
33:31
caught me. Off guard, chance on my 1
33:34
through 5 scale is going to go in the same spot as Quest for
33:39
Camelot, which is a for, I believe this movie isn't
33:41
spectacular. This isn't spider-verse or one
33:44
of those other cult classics that I really enjoy, but I think
33:48
this is a movie with good qualities.
33:50
That being some phenomenal actors some really good lines.
33:54
So I would say that this is a good movie, I think, if you
33:58
watch it, you will enjoy some parts of it and you will not
34:00
enjoy some others. Kylie.
34:03
Wait, I did I wanted a cookie out of Christmas in Wonderland,
34:07
right? Yes gingerbread No, I would
34:14
actually give it a sharp, right, though?
34:16
It was good. I would eat a little bit
34:18
shortbread, their small. That's the joke.
34:21
Guys, put simply this might be one of
34:38
the first movies we haven't bullied in any major way.
34:42
Yeah, I think. The last one was Batman.
34:45
I don't share the same love for this movie, that I share for
34:50
Batman Batman Forever. I can't see, roasted, just let
34:53
it sit. There secured nicely.
34:57
This one certainly has flaws, and I think that they cut a lot
35:03
of Corners, when it came to making the movie, but it's a
35:08
likable cast, and the writers didn't give them nothing.
35:13
Going to work with. There's a number of good lines
35:16
for me. This movie is mediocre, but
35:19
compared to the crap that we Wade through, on this podcast
35:23
regularly, this is top tier. Join anything else you want to
35:29
say, no? Okay, shortbread chance, this is
35:35
dog. Have anything to say.
35:38
Stay away from Empire State building's.
35:41
So for all you out there, we've said it once before and we'll
35:46
say it. Once again, look out for
35:48
weirdos. Look out for dogs and Empire
35:51
State Building but go for Elephants falling from Empire
35:54
State building's, I'm sorry. Car, look out for daddy
35:57
longlegs. If you find one, tickle its
36:01
mandibles.
