0:03
Okay, the goal, the goal, put the zipped up the mask for
0:22
Doc oh masks on. Then yeah, Doc Emmett Brown, Doc thing Marty.
0:34
That's what Doc was doing. That's where you got the That's where he
0:37
got the nickname. Uh yeah, are you ready? Yeah? Hello everyone,
0:43
and welcome to Planet Bruce. Of course, I'm your host Malinco and
0:47
I'm Alex. Nice to media, Steph. I don't know, I'm not
0:51
trying to. I'm well, dude, I'm depressed, but I we we've
0:56
got a show to do. Yeah. Uh at speaking of which, dude,
1:03
we've got ninety six is Bebus and What Head Do America? Okay,
1:10
it's really excited to talk to you about this where we do. Okay,
1:14
first of all, well, first of all, yeah, I think we
1:15
should. I think we should actually talk about Bebus and Butthead a little bit.
1:19
First, I always loved Beus and Butthead since like nineteen ninety one.
1:23
For those who don't know, it was like a cartoon TV show. A
1:27
lot of people like maybe just know about the characters, but I've never watched
1:32
the show because sometimes I tell people, oh, man, Beus Budd,
1:34
it's so good, and they're like, why isn't this like stupid, Like
1:38
isn't that like South Park or something? And I was like, listen,
1:42
first of all, it's not. It's a different sensibility. It's like it's
1:46
Mike Judge. And second of all, it's like deeply satirical and interesting.
1:53
Mike Judge finds, like, despite what he might be like as like you
1:59
know, a private citizen, I think he's got a very like high level
2:04
of awareness of like the kind of dumbness people can be. Yeah, especially
2:09
the kind of dumbness to like being American exactly exactly the type of quite gentleness
2:19
that it didn't occupies totally like an innocence. Yeah, there's a real like
2:23
small innocence in the dumbness of like this specific dumbness of Americans. And like,
2:30
I think that's what's really interesting about Mike Judges, like his able his
2:34
ability to kind of portray that in a weirdly like the passionate way. Yeah,
2:38
there's like it's funny, it's it's like you know, scathing and its
2:43
critique, but it's also so compassionate. Yeah, he does it the best
2:50
simply because he was also seen with his other show, Hank Hill. Yeah,
2:55
King the Hill, office space also occupied that sort of space too.
3:00
But there is a thing that is unfortunate in the through line of all of
3:07
those things, which is there is the sort of populist level that exists in
3:12
him, that is for the everyman, that is, for some semblance of
3:19
at least at a certain point in his career. I think it's still there.
3:22
But given I think his trajectory in Hollywood, being able to still make
3:28
things as a more conservative figure in Hollywood, Yeah, he has had the
3:34
ability to grow in an interesting way. As I agree. It's the same
3:38
way the South Park guys have grown so much because they clearly saw that media
3:44
does have an influence on people. Yeah, on how people think. Yeah,
3:49
they were kind of glib about that before they were really good to The
3:53
South Park guys especially were glib about it, and like they sort of realized
3:57
it, but they kind of chose to utilize it in an interesting and different
4:00
way, Like they're sort of leaning into the like weird nihilism of it.
4:03
But even with something like Silicon Valley another My Judge show, Yeah, he
4:09
managed to occupy a space where, despite not being able to say things like
4:15
were like they were in the past, he did manage to see the like
4:19
creepy weirdness of Silicon Valley a lot earlier than you know, a lot more
4:25
a realistic way too than what people are seeing them as now, which is
4:29
like this weird like oh no, they control everything, and like it's more
4:34
just like weird narcissistic morons. Yeah, like that are like just kind of
4:40
stumbling through. It's same thing with Elon Muskin buying Twitter. It's like everyone's
4:44
like, oh, he owns He's gonna all the thoughts of people, and
4:48
it's like yeah, but like he's dumb. He's gen x, like he's
4:54
so gen x. But but listen. So, I think that given what
5:00
we've just said about Mike Judge, I think that it really makes sense that
5:06
Bruce Willis is in this movie. Yeah you don't like because Bruce Willis also
5:12
champions this kind of like oh well his plovery performance really really take so like
5:21
it really made me think like him he Okay, maybe we'll just we'll talk
5:28
about I just want to echo your point. I think this movie is an
5:31
example of like celebrity voice over done right, you know, like like embodying
5:36
a character, you do it through a character. Yeah, yeah, I
5:43
really loved at the beginning of this movie where the setup because the setup is
5:49
pect setup is perfect. And also it's such a funny way to do this
5:56
movie because of the fact that everything is so small in the show, like
6:01
it's shot like the lowest stakes ever, totally and always the lowest the low
6:06
stakes, and then having the beginning of the movie be Beaws and Butted fighting
6:14
as giants and it being a dream, but also the amount of attention to
6:18
detail to like how bodies move. Oh, and they're like slow or like
6:26
like yeah, or what's it called? When what's his name? They're they're
6:35
fighting each other as giants, everybody else is moving then breaking shit, and
6:43
then when Beaus is waking Butted up and he's like, of score, yeah,
6:50
and just like the like feebleness of all this of both of them,
6:55
yeahcause they're both like they're both you know, they just sit around and watched
7:00
EV so they're like they're not melting. They need bad shit, like so
7:03
they're just like slouchy teenagers, which is it's kind of perfect also to have
7:11
made to really champion. Like the reason people love Beats and butthead is one
7:15
of the reasons is it really does champion like fucking losers and like it it
7:23
gave a voice. Like the whole premise of the show for those people who
7:26
don't know, is that these guys are two dumb guys and they watch movies
7:30
or sorry, they watch music videos and they judge music videos. And it
7:34
was made at an MTV time when like the typical team watched music videos the
7:40
way they updated it too with where they watch YouTube sometimes it's so good,
7:45
but so they like are two really stupid guys and it Mike Judge voices both
7:51
of them, and it seems kind of like he improvises sometimes because like he
7:56
just knows these characters so well and he understands and their dumbness in such a
8:01
perfect way that like he's able to, like I don't know, just make
8:05
like like say a lot without like through like almost they like in a cold
8:11
bear way, you know, like yeah, oh totally. He inhabits them
8:16
so well. And and also an interesting thing about both of them is that
8:20
it isn't just dumbness, like yeah, they're they're dumb, but like they're
8:24
also through that their worldview is dictated totally right. That's what he I think
8:31
got so perfectly with the type of satire is is that and and where the
8:37
lack of judgment, where the lack of judgment comes from from the characters themselves,
8:45
which is sorry, did it makes sense? The lack of the lack
8:50
of judgment he has to all the characters doing things totally? Yeah, Yeah,
8:56
I think that's what makes it work because like you're, you know,
9:00
people think like, oh, that's just this show about stupid people, but
9:03
they're never laughing, You're it's never like it's actually presented very objectively in a
9:09
weird way, you know what I mean. And sometimes when it's not,
9:11
it's for comedic effect, like sometimes when it's like being when the show and
9:16
the movie are being knowing, it's for comedic effect. But I wanted to
9:20
talk for a second about like the premise of the movie because because like I
9:26
think, you know, it's always hard to make a TV show, especially
9:33
like an animated TV show like this, like Simpson's Family, Guy, South
9:37
Park. They're all kind of like in a similar like rank as this show.
9:41
Yeah, So so when when when those shows made movies, it's always
9:46
like interesting to see what choices they make in a cinematic way, right,
9:52
And I think this movie is perfectly Beavis and Butthead cinematic because it's very ambitious
9:58
and it does like obviously with like they're very scribbly and they're always like kind
10:03
of like yeah, yeah, but like it's amazing, and the movie like
10:09
really actually sometimes like uses direction and cinematography in a way and like moves and
10:15
stuff. Yeah, like it feels like a movie, but it also feels
10:18
always like a Beavis and Butthead episode. Yeah, even even what you were
10:22
saying, in contrast to the the movies themselves, the other movies that you
10:28
mentioned, South Park and Simpsons, this even takes the premise of very low
10:33
stakes and applies it to what the mission is for them, which is their
10:39
TV is broken, Beavis Way, but Butthead ways broken, it's missing.
10:43
Oh it's missing. Yeah, their house has been broken into, broken into.
10:46
Yeah. Part of me and fair really dovetails into the worldview thing that
10:52
I was saying too, which is Beavis and Butthead trying to figure out for
10:58
so long what happened, and and he's just like looking from the broken window
11:05
to the footsteps to the like place where the TV has been taken off,
11:09
into the broken door that they left, and like they're leaving. As they're
11:16
leaving, it literally just happened. They just stolen totally. Uh and I
11:22
love like the like choice to make them like just like those other guys are
11:26
also fucking dweebs and exactly like yeah, totally, it's just like the shit
11:33
town. Yeah, it's amazing. It's amazing, Yeah, Highland, Texas,
11:39
Texas. Yeah. And and it's it's funny because we get also introduced
11:43
to even if you don't watch the TV show, it still gets to introduce
11:50
all the different characters of the town as well. It makes it makes the
11:54
beats perfect and it doesn't try ambitiously like all the other movies do all the
12:00
characters because it's just like it does it. It follows the story. It's
12:05
like, what would we just make the episode longer? Longer? Yeah,
12:07
exactly, but but not boring. It's definitely not bored. There's no boring
12:13
parts. And plus it's a fucking eighty minutes too, which is it's a
12:18
cool And they go to the school to try and steal this cost their their
12:28
choices, Their choices are amazing. Yeah, they're they're the like logical conclusion
12:33
of what they would think to do it, Like given that they're like so
12:37
dumb, like they're like barely able to function dumb. And but I love
12:43
also that they have they have distinct personalities in their dumbness and like butt Heads
12:48
a little smarter, but Beavis is a little more intuitive, it seems like
12:56
right, And I think they keep those things in the character bibles of the
13:00
story kind of like pretty consistent, which is exciting. And the but also
13:05
the introduction of Dreason in this the teacher, the hippie teacher. Yeah,
13:11
this this was an interesting change from the new show, from the old show
13:16
to the new show, which is they he did make fun of Dreason.
13:20
He was making fun of Dreason, you know what I mean, right,
13:22
Like it was more much more about pussy liberals, I mean, whereas like
13:28
in the new show, they actually do a lot where he's like he is
13:31
the same guy. He is the same kind of empathetic, nice person,
13:37
but there's a lot less judgment I've noticed from from Judge, I mean on
13:41
that character. I think Mike Judge is a it's like Stalone. It's like
13:46
they're because they're writers, they're insightful about people and human behavior. So even
13:50
if they don't get it right on certain things, it's like there's a way
13:56
to read their work as like insightful about Oh yeah, despite like what you're
14:01
like, kind of I don't know, like morals are whatever. Yeah,
14:07
totally. I Like, I'm not saying that it's it was bad necessarily that
14:11
he was making fun of him. More, I'm I'm just saying that it's
14:15
I think that he also took the South Park route where it's it's just even
14:20
funnier if you add more of a character to totally. Well, I never
14:24
thought, like, I don't know, I never thought that the teacher like
14:26
I always was, like I understood that the show was making fun of him,
14:30
but I never really felt like he's just being himself, you know what
14:33
I mean? Like its characters are always shows, and with an animated show,
14:39
it's hard because, like you know, because there is this level of
14:43
removedness, you can kind of like sort of play with certain reality sometimes.
14:48
But the show, the show and the beavis about it never plays with that
14:52
really. Like it's like it led Greson wants to give them advice my instead
14:58
of watching TV, or you can try to keep going outside and enjoying the
15:05
world instead of using TV to entertain us. You said, Anus entertain us
15:13
trying to catch up too, but too. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
15:20
it's so good, and like they're the chemistry between them and like it's almost
15:26
like it feels kind of like a like a Groucho Marks, sort of like
15:31
sketch. Sometimes there's a kind of classicness to their bits. Yeah, that's
15:35
like it's so memorable. It's so pantheon. It's so pantheon. And then
15:39
immediately that the other TV breaks, they try to feebly kind of bring it
15:46
down those stairs or Dreason also tries to feebly push them away. Everybody's feeble
15:52
on the shower too. But but then he's like, all right, boys,
15:54
just like take it back. And then they just don't don't. And
15:58
then and then the kid he's so shaky, he's so oh dude, and
16:06
he's like, were expelled. He's like he sounds like van Hout and Millhouse
16:12
ben Out or yeah he's dad. But you know it's funny, is is
16:18
like as soon as they like don't need something or they bring something, they're
16:22
like, yeah, it belongs at the A V. They tell they tell
16:27
you yeah, and then they leave it and they've been expelled. Yeah they're
16:33
gone. They've been expelled. Uh, and then they go to obviously their
16:37
neighbor Tom Anderson, Oh, the guy who is Yeah, they're two boys.
16:47
They're always working off from a tool ship, ah man and what's his
16:52
name? Yeah, them going in and are you here? Are you two
16:56
boys here to fix the fridge? No? No, we're here. Look
17:00
at the TV? Are you look at Then she says, are you here
17:03
to look at the fridge? No? No, we're here to look at
17:06
the TV. Oh, I didn't even know it was broken. And like
17:08
the way that like the circumstances just lead through, like dumbness just lead to
17:15
like things happening is so is so perfect and works so well like them,
17:19
and it's sort of like aimlessly stumbling into like insane situations and causing chaos.
17:26
Yeah, while not knowing that they're doing it is like perfect. It's kind
17:30
of shows what's happening to democracy in America? Yeah, it is, it
17:34
is, and it does because of that. I do think like him writing
17:38
idiocracy and like then idiocracy weirdly becoming like coming true yeah, and people being
17:45
like, oh man, reality's like idiocracy. She's like a Documentary's like a
17:51
documentary. It's like you just you know you you could just be like,
17:56
hey, something's weird about now. Let me write a different place that's like
18:00
now but no, Like, his writing is just very clever because not only
18:06
does it pay off in moments where they're they're like, no, we're here,
18:10
look the TV. The clever wordplay with that, and then her being
18:15
like, oh, I didn't know the TV was broken, and then then
18:18
going to get a drink from the broken fridge, and then him spitting out
18:22
the cold because it was warm, because it was warm because of the fridge.
18:26
It's all pays off in such great way. It's almost like what's it
18:30
called. It's like a rest of development had levels of humor like this.
18:36
Well, I think this movie is like highly underrated because because like I think
18:42
because Beavis and Butthead are underrated. It's like the movie has like scope,
18:49
it's got good writing, the story makes sense, it's funny. It's so
18:56
funny, and it's still so funny after so many years. Yeah, and
19:00
Beavis is so mad, He's like, where's the TVM? But I need
19:03
to see it that he starts clicking the I love I love that. And
19:08
also Beavis is the kind of guy who is very much more sensitive and emotional
19:17
and butthead is just he's just he's more cold cold. Yeah yeah, and
19:22
I think beavis strength is in his sensitive Yeah, totally. And then they
19:29
get to a motel, a just disgusting motel. They're like knocking on all
19:33
the doors on the on the like sign or whatever, and then we get
19:40
introduced to Muddy to Bruce. So much of it is just like like just
19:49
like hold on, he sure these guys can pull his offer of sure these
20:00
guys can pullish off. Roll Bruce for like for the first time doing some
20:07
like voice acting that I feel like, is is really good. He needs
20:12
to be playing a character. Yeah, he definitely needs to be playing a
20:17
character. Man, Bruce is so good and like he did such a he
20:21
did such a side character bruces again, Yeah, dude, he is the
20:25
side character. But like there's not that many characters in the movie, which
20:30
is amazing. There's a lot of like people that show up, but like
20:34
playing Richard Letter as the bus driver, Yeah, that's that's hilarious. But
20:41
that's just because of their like Texan roots or whatever, so basically drunk out
20:49
of out of mind, out of state of mind. Bruce's like can't see
20:55
straight and he's like, hey, man, man, he's be young.
21:00
Girl said you'd be young, but he didn't say, oh yeah, geez,
21:04
I'm gonna pay you ten this is what we're gonna do. I'm gonna
21:07
pay you ten grand to do my wife. And they're like, this guy's
21:11
gonna pay the score. So like them misunderstanding do And then also the movie
21:18
being called Do America like Debbie does Dallas. It's it's like so perfect,
21:23
it's like works on so many levels. Can we just watch your TV and
21:29
yeah, and like to reduce the characters to that level of dumbness, but
21:33
to have that level of like insight into things is like, man, I
21:37
think the cutest thing about things are cute? Yeah, because some of them,
21:45
because some kind of like yeah, because they are very cute as well,
21:49
Like it's so funny because I was watching a butt in preparation for the
21:55
show. I was just watching a bunch of episodes with Leo and she was
22:00
like, God, they're so gross and they are so gross like and it's
22:04
and it's like gross in a sad way in a in a like like a
22:10
little bit of a like their lives aren't okay. Yeah, yeah, totally
22:18
totally totally. And I think that's what Another thing I wanted to talk about
22:22
is like they're sort of like a relationship to women is like they don't they
22:27
only see like chicks and boobies and music videos and stuff, so they don't
22:32
know how to to act with like with women or like how to try and
22:36
like to be because they're teenagers who want to like score and stuff. But
22:40
like but they're like it's kind of there's also an innocence about that there.
22:44
It never seems like they're like want to like rape someone or be delicious or
22:48
something. It just seems like there's a kind of like they don't they don't
22:52
even know how to talk to anybody or treat anybody. A little boy in
22:56
misogyny that's like, yeah, like a dumb innocent Yeah, exactly. It's
23:00
like a sexism that like is a combination of dumbness and neglect. That's like
23:10
also a little neglect. But but but yeah, what I was gonna say
23:12
was cute. Also is be Buddet's eyebrows when he gets excited is like telling
23:19
him an idea. Sometimes sometimes within Buddet like is he's like he says something
23:27
stupidly mysterious like some distime like oh yeah with the boxes, the dirty boxes
23:36
in his home. I just think that the jokes like that are brilliant,
23:41
like making giving butthead that character of like man and like him being the the
23:48
deep voice guy. Yeah viewers, man, it's it's like you and me,
23:53
dude, Yeah, pretty much, I'm the dumb guy. Am I
23:59
the dumb? Which one of my Well you've got the gravelly voice on my
24:03
on my butthead today, I'm butthead guys, Yeah, why why? Oh
24:14
man? The level of the Yeah, that's actually a perfect way to Bruce
24:30
willis Is react. He's kind of like confused, confused about it, but
24:36
also like yeah, I mean yeah, I'm that kind of guy too.
24:38
Yeah, exist totally like recognizing in him the same kind of character quirk.
24:45
And it's also it's interesting when we see people who are similar to Beavis some
24:49
Butthead and people who are different. They're always saying something because there there's like
24:56
levels of normal people and what normal people go through. Yeah, so like
25:02
you have like an educated person like yeah and being like like he's like but
25:10
he's kind of like a hippie. He's into particular things, right, and
25:15
this like severely demented alcoholic who wants to kill his wife. Oh man,
25:22
does she have big knockers? Yeah? Yeah, she does. The kind
25:27
of like yeah, where where cruise? You see? Did such a good
25:33
shot, you dude, he knew the characters so well, like what he
25:37
knew the characters? Yeah? Yeah, and it just the the like severe
25:42
endangerment of like driving erratically on this the road and then throwing them out of
25:48
the car. That iconic shot that was in the trailer of him hitting the
25:53
trash can and the cat coming out. That's a really cinematic shot, the
25:59
way it kind of unfolds. I can tell why they put it in the
26:02
trailer. Yeah, it's it's a it's a really good movie, dude.
26:07
Yeah. Yeah, man. And then when they first meet the old lady
26:12
on the airplane and she's the mystery is the kind of playing the slots.
26:19
Oh yeah, we're hoping to score some slots too. Hey, this chick
26:25
is like the Yeah, the innocence of like having people find also finding people
26:32
that have commonalities with you totally, yeah, not being judgmental against them even
26:37
though you've misunderstood what those commonalities are totally. Well, that's that's Bob and
26:44
Travis. My name is but my last name is but yeah, my name,
26:49
my last name is head. Oh, that's it. That's it.
26:52
My last name is head. Oh man, Yeah, what is it?
26:57
But I guess that's also kind of like a sign of neglect. Yeah,
27:07
it is the fact that his name is buttethead. Yeah. Yeah, and
27:14
and kind of sad characters. They are very like, very sad characters.
27:19
Yeah, I don't know. Do you want to do you want to popcorn
27:22
around? No? No, it's what what what happens next? Where or
27:25
where were we were on the plane where we first meet Cornholio dude? Yeah,
27:30
because yeah, because what's her name? The old lady. Old lady
27:36
gives him. She's like she sees that he's going to freak out. She
27:41
gives him like coffee bills. Yeah, and he starts freaking out. Well,
27:47
he starts eating all just going through her perse aggressively like a ginery emotion
27:53
with his head. The animation was so good. Yeah, and beats or
27:59
butt head goes he falls in love with the the flight attend for putting out
28:06
his seat belt. Uh, and he goes to he grabs a beer from
28:11
a guy. Well, the plane takes off and he like rolls all the
28:15
like gags are really funny, and he's like chasing like kind of like following
28:19
her around feebly. Yeah, totally. But it's funny because like he's just
28:22
being annoying. He's like he's just the child, Like. Yeah. That's
28:26
the interesting thing is that like the clash between how many people just kind of
28:30
ignore them out of like whatever and and the amount of like people who will
28:40
pay attention to them are people who are but they will grow up to be
28:44
shitty people because they'll be older and they'll have more both do be like I
28:47
mean, it's clear from the flash forwards of the show when they finally arrive
28:52
to the airport and they're like, this is Vegas and it's just the airport.
28:56
Where did all the casino they It's funny because like they're like kids,
29:00
like they just do think what this is Vegas? I don't know, Yeah,
29:04
you well, like I saw what Vegas looked like on TV and it
29:07
doesn't look like that. Yeah. And then when they get to the airport,
29:11
the guy who's picking them up is holding a side that has their names
29:15
and they're like, these guys have the same names, but his first instincts
29:22
to moon him. I like the fact that they're like illiterate. Yeah,
29:29
they're like they're they're just they wouldn't be and they wouldn't be if they were
29:33
like this, if they if they were to be consistent like this, they
29:37
would have to be illiterate. Oh yeah, totally b a bas boot boot
29:45
boot head boot wright. This has us Yeah yeah bootoo. Yeah, it's
29:56
like these guys have the same names. Sweet, it's so funny. Yeah,
30:02
it is really good. It's such good gags. Yeah, and then
30:06
they go along with the with the they go along with the guy. But
30:08
then in the next scene, the two guys who robbed Bevis and butthead at
30:11
the beginning of the movie, they're the Muddy and they're the guys who are
30:15
gonna kill which is also amazing because it's like, yo, dude, this
30:19
does happen like when people hire people to kill, especially guy. Yeah,
30:26
she gave me fifty downand dollars Cobaine. Yeah, that's why I totally believe
30:30
that guy. She offered me fifty downand dollars. And then Muddy is like,
30:38
what what are you talking about? What? Then who are those other
30:42
idiots? Da? She tricked me again. Also, how did you guess
30:52
the it's you did such a good job because you still sell like Bruce Willis.
30:59
Yeah, I know he's had like a better Virgil this because I'm a
31:02
little lower. Listen, tricked me again. Held on, Let's see the
31:11
confused that first carry the confused, the confused that first Elliott talking day here,
31:21
what the hell are you talking about two clowns or those other two clowns?
31:30
Hu? But he a dude, oh man, he knows the fact,
31:36
the fact that those guys are dumb guys. It's confused. Everyone's listen't
31:48
it's I'm okay, I'll go okay, I noticed your TV is broken?
31:56
Do you need another one? Do you want to sell? The TV's into
32:00
the car that they stole from Venus about it? It's perfect? And then
32:04
they he smashes into their van and the TV falls back out, and he's
32:09
like, yeah, just sleeve, which is a classic online. And this
32:17
dude looks so much like Bobby Hill, grown up Bobby Hill. Oh man,
32:21
like he loves the drawing of like dumpy Doughey, like normal looking be
32:27
They're not dumpy, They're normal. No. No, But I'm just saying,
32:30
like he He loves leading into like, you know, showing those things
32:34
he does the doughs of people, he like, he definitely draws that a
32:38
lot. But I think that that it is no, no, yeah,
32:47
what you're saying, it's illustrated to highlight that they're normal people. Yeah,
32:51
exactly, that's really really amazing, like their everyday American Joe's. They're American
32:57
Joe's, dude. And again, I got a lot of I got hairy
33:00
legs, that turn that that that that that that turn blond in the sun
33:08
like like fucking Anderson in this movie. I'm a patriot. I've been served
33:14
in two more kind of feeble. Yeah, tom Is was Hank Kill in
33:23
Vietnam. No, I don't think. I don't know. Actually, no,
33:30
what's his over? You've got me eager for more son. You've grabbed
33:37
my attention and got me eager for more poppy. You've got me eager.
33:43
You've got me listening and eager for more. Oh man. They get to
33:47
the casino where rosta no, mom, oh no, there's not cost the
34:07
wicker s, the wicker Crew, your collector new but I got everybody wicker
34:13
wickered stick anyway, oh man. They try and they go to the hotel.
34:16
They get taken out by the concierge and he tries to Penis tries to
34:23
immediately take the remote off the counter. It stuck, oh man, and
34:31
he's like, it doesn't come off, sir, and the hold on best
34:37
beach. Yeah, just it's hilarious, like like the guy is still here
34:45
and he tries to to get a tip. Oh man, it sounds like
34:50
there's a chicken there, Vivius, sounds like there's a chicken. But but
34:53
this is this is also what's great about Dallas. To me, Moore's character,
34:58
who's introduced in the next scene, our first, our first instance of
35:02
Demi Moore and Bruce Willis and together a famous power cup, famous power couple.
35:07
Still the only power couple, I mean, the only Hollywood who else
35:13
has been as heavy hitters in that in that way I mean Brigitte and I
35:19
guess Branjelina brand Jelina. No, Brigitte and Stallone. Stallone beats Brigitte.
35:25
There's they're not They're not comparable in terms of, like I guess maybe in
35:30
the times, like a power couple with each other. I'm just saying,
35:35
I know, but like I'm just saying, because it's like Bruce and Demi
35:38
have the best relationship of everybody. Now, that's the thing. Yeah,
35:43
just like in terms of, yeah, they're not together anymore, but they're
35:46
not together Demi Moore, they're not together Demy more, but they still have
35:52
this just the sweet, nice relationship. Yeah, and like yeah, I
35:55
mean they got kids together, Peter Pants got kids. But I think that
36:02
she did a really good job at this movie, Like, yeah, she
36:05
did a really good job. She's really good. I'm gonna pay you twenty
36:07
to go back and do him. You want us to do a guy,
36:13
But I what's great about her BBS is like it's a lot of money aground
36:16
it. Yeah, queer vibos, queer questioning vibos. That's what the Q
36:23
means. And lgbt I plus plus LGBTV A real man that joke. It's
36:34
like, okay, who can if you who cares? Yeah, learned?
36:37
Are you not interested in what it says? You know what I mean?
36:39
Like, I mean, do you know that song? Your mother could be
36:43
lgbt Q, your brother could be lgbt Q, your father could be lgbt
36:49
Q. It's amazing. Yeah, I mean, YEAHGQ realgy BQ realgy like
37:04
it kind of went viral. Cool. Yeah, so Benis is part of
37:07
questioning. Yeah, she she sets up an idea where she's gonna take this
37:15
She has this unit. Yeah, it's like got a biological weapon and a
37:20
weapon in it. Yeah, it's like a virus, a man made virus
37:22
that's like really like can kill five states in five days. Yeah. So
37:30
what she does is she wants to do she she uses she realizes that they
37:35
want they want to do her, and she does not kill her. So
37:42
she uses it to her advantage by placing the unit onto them and then getting
37:46
captured by the police and telling them to go to Washington, DC, Washington,
37:53
Washington, saying time so that they can do each other. Yeah.
38:01
Well she's like, I'll do you if we go to Washington, DC.
38:06
So they're like, okay, sure, So she buys them a ticket on
38:08
a bus that's leaving, which is so such a perfect ramping up of the
38:14
arc of them. So it's like, wait, you guys wanted a TV
38:17
at first, but now it's like the two things that they care about most
38:22
is doing pea Chicks and where it's like a story where like the character the
38:28
main character is a kind of unlikely hero that doesn't know why they're in the
38:35
situation. You know what I mean interesting. I mean we have another movie
38:37
coming up there we'll talk Oh, of course The Big Boski, but which
38:45
which that movie is? Yeah, but anyway that it feels like this movie
38:50
is like that, like it's unlikely, but also it kind of ramps up
38:53
the like farcical nature where they're like doing a funny thing inadvertently, and also
39:00
the applying the cultural critique from small town losers to a hicktown, you know,
39:07
expands it to the all of America in the sense that everybody really is
39:13
trying to do their best. Well they do America, they do do America.
39:16
And the idea that God we're introduced to. We're introduced to Agent Fleming,
39:29
who's played by Robert Stack who do you know who that is? I
39:34
do? And they drew him like he looks, drew him a little bit
39:37
like he looks Let me just look at let me look him up. Join
39:39
me. Perhaps you may be able to help all the mystery. Yeah,
39:51
yeah, I know. He's the most of unsolved mystery. Yeah, Cavity
39:54
searches everybody. The Cavity Search running guy like it's it's it's so stupid and
40:04
it's so silly, but like the way that they amp it up is there's
40:08
a sincerity to it that's so perfect. Yeah, him being sincere about it.
40:13
And also but yeah, the interesting thing about the criticism of like the
40:16
American government in this and being like in this space of doing everything they can
40:24
and wasting kind of wasting resources, but all at the same time, like
40:30
they fumble into the correct answer sometimes and the right answer is often coupled with
40:39
a bunch of terrible wrong answers. Also, yeah, yeah, like they're
40:45
they just like misunderstand the situation so bad. Yeah, and they like misread
40:50
and mishandle the situation so bad in kind of a haphazard and dumb way,
40:54
like Beavis and about it. They just have more resources exactly, so they
40:59
head to the hoover. Damn is this a goddamn that joke? That joke
41:08
is so funny to mean, and it's like it's it's it's interesting because like
41:15
it's not actually funny, but like it's funny in the context, and it's
41:20
funny because of who says it. It's funny in the context, and it's
41:22
all all of that is funny. All of their funniness comes from the context,
41:28
totally yeah, and the funniness also of the workplace normalcy of most other
41:34
things, Like when they're at the damn and they go into the like room
41:37
where everything the control room, and the two guys leave and they're like,
41:40
hey, I do you want to get some lunch? Just the casual throwaway
41:44
lines like that totally funny, totally because they're yeah, because they're contrasting these
41:51
weirdos. Totally yeah, and like I love when characters serve to show how
41:58
weird it was a yeah totally because something like they're just around each other and
42:02
it just becomes normal. But then they say something that they would say only
42:07
to each other to someone else and they're like what you know. What's also
42:10
really interesting about them is like they're very honest that they don't but sometimes they
42:15
lie when they're trying to get something, but they don't do it, but
42:19
they do it. Yeah, they do it in the way that it was
42:21
like that goes to the a V. Or they don't want to take responsibility
42:28
for anything and they use another thing that they learned. Yeah, because it's
42:35
funny because they're like they're savvy sometimes they have good ideas about tying to be
42:39
sneaky. Yeah, or and then they start destroying things in the master station
42:47
master master Vation presses a button and they destroy the hoover damn, and like
42:55
it like wipes away Anderson at the bottom. Yeah. Yeah. And Muddy
43:00
gets gets to Vegas and he's pulled in the concierge and he's like, I
43:08
didn't see the god damn. Oh man, he's Robert Stack. Oh no,
43:15
that's oh sorry. Yeah. And the fact that that Robert Stack is
43:23
constantly like, who are we dealing with? These two must be geniuses,
43:29
and and the same kind of joke that same the wrong guy. It is
43:32
the exact same joke, like the it's a funny gag, right, it's
43:37
a great gag. It totally works this Yeah the smart he's super smart.
43:43
Yeah, totally and Greg Canier being like, who are these guys? Chief
43:51
innocent? The perfect kind of guy. Oh. Greg Canier is now in
43:54
his I'm gonna be a bad person phase, like a bad guy phase.
43:59
I love is a bad guy. Yeah, Greg Queer is a great bad
44:02
guy. We find out that the device is like a biological container. It's
44:09
a container for a biological weapon and it has a flaw and it has a
44:14
too hard it can break. It cuts to Buttet kicking Beavis in the ass.
44:20
Yeah, into the unit. And then what's it called when they're going
44:27
through a montage and we see the old folks at the Grand Canyon, and
44:34
then Beavis and butt Head are watching a donkey shit. It's like it's the
44:37
poop is coming out of the ass of the ass. Benawa, butt Poot,
44:45
bald knob. They like, see all the places that they pass on
44:52
the way to to Washington, and it's all like funny names that they that
44:58
are suggestive. What's also interesting about this montage through America is there are some
45:06
cool things in America that are actually like our wonders that like sunes, to
45:10
some degree, wouldn't appreciate, but like that big guys are the fucking The
45:15
guys are cool. The guys are crying when they watch it. Yeah,
45:19
the taking a look at the toilets, the automatic flushing ly and and the
45:25
Grand Canyon. Those are like cool big wonders. The Grand Kenyon is incredible.
45:30
I'm still so mad that my band when I was in Licerta, they
45:44
skipped out on going to the Grand Canyon because they wanted to spend an extra
45:47
day in Vegas. Have you never seen the Grand Canyon. I've never seen
45:51
the Grand Go see the Grand Kang. We should go see the Grand would
45:52
be cool. They wanted to go to Vegas. We got to go to
45:57
Vegas. Vegas. They uh, the old people leave because they're so into
46:05
the toilets uh and they just hop onto a different bus and there's a bunch
46:08
of nuns. It's funny that they just like carry on. They just like,
46:14
yeah, nothing affects them because they're they're they don't even know that anybody's
46:19
chasing them. But it's awesome because at the same moment that the bus leaves
46:23
with them without it them, the agents stop the bus with the old folks
46:29
and give all the old people cavity searches. Oh man, it's so funny.
46:34
And then they just go off with the nuns and they go to take
46:37
a dump in into the boxes. Confessionals on my wife, how many hail
46:45
Mary's a thousand? And hit yourself. You might ask yourself, how does
46:53
wood get so hard just like us, like petrified would Yeah, that's so
47:00
like that kind of joke is really makes me laugh a lot Man. The
47:06
whole movie is so funny. It's it makes me. The movie makes me
47:08
laugh so much. Yeah, absolutely, it's it's a really, it's a
47:13
really, and it's funny because it does feel very wholesome at times, like
47:19
the fact that like their their innocence is wholesome. It would almost be like
47:24
doing a movie. This would be the perfect way to do a Karney movie,
47:29
or like something like where Karnie and and Dolph and and the other dude's
47:36
name again, Jimbo Jimbo that's it. Yeah, yeah, Jimbo Dolphin,
47:39
Karnie Ernie. Yeah, yeah, so Beavis and butthead get left by the
47:45
nuns because they're so grossed out by them, and they just start walking aimlessly
47:52
through the desert. Oh about, but where's where's Washington, DC? Oh?
47:58
About two hundred two miles that way? Oh thanks? And they just
48:02
start feebly walking because they think they're gonna get there. It's amazing, dude,
48:08
Yeah, they just like designed to walk. He's just gonna decide.
48:15
Yeah, And then Tom Anderson gets uh. He mentions that he has seen
48:20
them searching, and they cavity search them and ripped through their entire and they
48:24
just destroy the TV. They destroy their couches. Yeah. Oh, and
48:34
then they meet their dads. They meet their dads in the way. Gonna
48:37
tell you something cool. I went through Highland a couple of years back on
48:43
fifteen years and fifteen years back. He's like, it's a real shittle.
48:45
That's where we're from. Oh so you know, like the same kind of
48:51
like innocent dumbness is amazing. And they scored with a couple of slots and
48:55
they're like, do you still think they live there? And it's like,
48:59
oh man, it's so funny. And they're like they have a similar dynamic.
49:04
His Beavis is also like very feeble and totally and one of them is
49:10
the guy who looked like David Letterman. Yeahs fly Hi Lesbian seagull I love
49:21
that song. Lesbian Siegel is great. Lesbian is so funny. Yeah,
49:27
And they tear through what's it called Beavis and butthead's home. They arrest uh,
49:34
the what's it called? They arrest the teacher at one point. Oh,
49:40
that's him, officer, the principal. There's a dicky. He sells
49:45
him out. God, he's like and it's so funny because he's like,
49:52
you know, this seems like a breach. If my government held you should
49:57
be reading my Branda record. And then one of the guys takes the guitar
50:04
and he smashes it. It's like, yeah, he it's it's funny because
50:08
this is the kind of weird overreach people were talking about in the nineties of
50:14
government. The sun sucks, they get left behind by their gross roady dads
50:22
on their motorcycles, and they're dying in the desert and Babus is like,
50:34
hey, isn't there supposed to be like water and cactuses? And then he
50:37
eats I think it's ayahuasca. Yeah, not our oscar heats like those the
50:44
things that make mescalin. Okay, it's like dried cactus. Yeah, he
50:47
eats a bit of a cactus. And then but had his points and he's
50:52
like, hey, Babus. And then the camera drifts a little bit and
50:55
it's two vultures are having sex with each other. Yeah, it's it's hilarious.
51:04
And right as we see our two characters getting a picked at by vultures,
51:08
and Bevis is like, hey, budtheat are we gonna die? Uh?
51:14
Probably? And he's like, whoa, My life is flashing before my
51:19
eyes and it's just with Bevis, which is kind of like a sweet and
51:24
he's like, my life was cool. Yeah, it's it's weirds. His
51:28
life was cool, as as mean and as brutal as he is to Beavis,
51:32
they love each other. They love each other. It's did you really
51:36
did you ever see the episode? It's a newer episode where where Budet starts
51:40
taking anti presents. Oh my god, I loved that episode. Nice to
51:46
Beavis and Bevis can't handle it. Yeah, he wants me to hit him
51:52
and it's a v too. Yeah. Yeah, and then he sees himself.
51:57
Beavis thinks he's having a flashback too, but he's actually just tripping.
52:02
Yeah, it's amazing. This scene is great. The scene really sold Beavis
52:07
and butthead to to Leal, she was like, oh, this is actually
52:13
like really cool. Like dude, like that scene is like I think the
52:16
same guy who did a bunch of animation for Rob Zombie isn't Yeah, it's
52:22
White Zombie. There's music, and like, man, it's so cool.
52:27
It's such a psychedelic scene. It works so well with the animation, and
52:30
it's you know, like it's something that's uncharacteristic for the show that they did
52:37
in the movie because they had the scale in the budget to do it,
52:40
and it didn't feel forced or out of place, Like we just get a
52:45
really cool tripping scene and it's it's like really really amazing. I think it's
52:52
like earned also, and like it kind of like plays into the like hole
52:57
music that yeah, that the legacy that the show has. So yeah,
53:01
and it's nineteen ninety six. It's interesting at an interesting time. And then
53:06
that point, my one of my favorite parts, having experienced psychedelics now is
53:13
is the ending where it's where the mount pulsating pulses. I thought that was
53:17
great, and then Buddy fucking throws water on them and and beaviss and buttheads
53:28
like mouth being so dry. Oh, I'm going to enjoy it. I'm
53:39
gonna enjoy this scary Bruce Scars sadistic, it's fucking scary, and point just
53:45
points a gun at them, thinking like she's going to Washington ac I could
53:51
use you boys anyway, and then puts them in the trunk of a car,
53:54
just like torturing these poor kids. It's it's kind of cool though,
54:00
like the way the story keeps like unfolding, It's like it does and then
54:04
you're like kind of scared for them in the sense of like they're like they're
54:07
young, they're young, crappy teenagers. Yeah, they don't really mean like
54:14
well, but they also didn't do anything that wrong. No, yeah,
54:17
exactly. Well, I mean they're they're just kids. Like these guys like,
54:22
yeah, so oh man, when he they end up in the trunk
54:25
of the car and they're just driving and then joking about the jack the jack,
54:30
We're gonna jack it off. Yeah, and they just like accidentally opens
54:37
they open the trunk accidentally and then let's just run really fast. Yeah,
54:42
babest, just run really bad, and then he pushes him off. He
54:45
always makes him do things first. Yeah you yeah, dude. Yeah,
54:59
I mean if it's if I get you to do it, potentially I could
55:01
do it. That's true. Yeah. And then they like cause an entire
55:07
like insane crash, which makes it on the news with the ATF ends up
55:12
seeing and they're like, what where the hell could they be going with the
55:16
unit, And then all of a sudden they see a map that it's like,
55:20
oh, they're headed towards Washington, DC's like a threat. Yeah,
55:25
And then by happenstance, the old people. Bus is also and Travis Travis,
55:37
Hey, it's that slut from I love that too, it's that slut
55:43
from from Vegas. Loves her and then and then she's like, he's like,
55:49
did you win anything? Now? Now we didn't score yet. He's
55:53
like, what about you? Oh I took a beaten But it's like night
55:59
a cool God. Yeah, totally thinks it's cool. Yeah, because it
56:05
is cool. It is, it is. It's amazing. I love it.
56:07
I love that that positive well, it's it's funny because like it's like
56:12
it's dealing with the innocence of it, right, it's getting to the core
56:15
of it, which is like excitement about something, and it's like when it
56:19
plays into them being kids, it's amazing. Yeah, totally. Dallas gets
56:22
to Washington as well and is also confronted by Muddy and he's like, yeah,
56:35
I got to your two boys, and she is like she obviously like
56:40
feigns like, oh, I was gonna split it with you. I swear.
56:44
He's like threatening her with a gun and stuff and beavis and butthead go
56:51
into I think a senate meeting or no, they don't. He doesn't get
56:58
into a sentivated they start telling over the intercom in the White House. Yeah,
57:04
they're like when the gig is uncontrollable. I watched it with the capture
57:16
that it wrote out all of the giggles. Yeah, totally. Yeah,
57:22
you know, like, I guess we can say that this part has all
57:27
of the comedy of errors. Situation happened that keeps happening through the movie,
57:30
and like we get to a final point where butthead has been arrested and Bevis
57:37
is in the camper van. Am I like jumping too much ahead? Yeah,
57:43
maybe a little bit. What ends up happening is Bevis is a freak
57:46
out because they he thinks that they're leaving because they got to to to watch,
57:52
wants to score and he wants to score and he just gets beaten up
57:55
by Richard linklater, but then Cornhole l comes back because what's her name tries
58:02
to give him his annex. Yeah, and he ends up having the coffee
58:06
pills. Coffee pills, and they end up going to the White House and
58:08
he just starts eating coffee and sugar and he becomes very hyper and he's Cornholio.
58:15
He needs TV for his bung hole Yeah, and it kind of escalates
58:20
into I never understood the mightiness of Cornholio. Like as a kid, it
58:25
was like funny, and it's like a funny joke, but I never understood
58:29
that he's meant to be out of this world in a way so that he
58:35
can seem like he's like a terrorist who has demands. Yeah, exactly,
58:38
kind of believably and like I feel like it did it, really? It
58:42
did that really well? Yeah, And he goes into the President's office and
58:45
rings up, pulls up the Red Phone, and the guy guy's freaking out,
58:52
being like we need the codes. They think that the president is called
58:59
the red Phone so that you can like send it a bomb. I guess,
59:05
yeah, basically. And then the ATF finds butt Head first and he's
59:10
like, cavity search him, and then as score also queer butt head.
59:19
Yeah, totally queer butt head or at least curious questioning dude, Yeah,
59:23
totally yeah. And finally Beavis is gonna whack off in the camper van.
59:31
Yeah, and it's amazing. He goes and wax off, and then Anderson
59:38
sees that the trailer is like moving around. It's like, what the hell
59:45
if I want to get sloppy drunk and shoot off guns with a bunch of
59:49
guys. I'll go to my dad's oscar party. I love the also like
59:53
the kind of Hank Hill, like a gas sort of nature of Anderson.
1:00:00
He's supposed to represent a kind of like stuffy conservatism. That's like I think
1:00:05
that Mike Judge ultimately doesn't really like yeah, I mean like like a kind
1:00:13
of like just this maybe like a sad sort of He understands it, but
1:00:16
he doesn't really like it, you know, like he understands why it's like,
1:00:21
oh yeah, totally. I mean like there's there was a time in
1:00:25
where like a stuffy conservatism. I think he does like it in the sense
1:00:35
that he understands it in the sense that he knows people like that who are
1:00:39
conservative guys who are willing, despite being stubborn, willing to change in a
1:00:46
Hankhill kind of way, and willing to learn, even though he does have
1:00:52
like very there's like an open mind, yea very stock values that he has.
1:01:00
But I also really love this ending where Anderson comes out and he's like,
1:01:02
take your dang pants with you, and they all pull the guns out
1:01:06
or whatever, and he like the pants and up ripping and then flies out
1:01:12
and falls into Butteth and he goes here, you go casually goes here,
1:01:16
you go. Really really funny. It's really funny and it really works really
1:01:20
well, and it's such a nice button to put on the ending and the
1:01:24
epilogue is great too. When they meet Bill Clinton and they're just like,
1:01:30
ah, like, I don't know. He deputizes them. He gives them
1:01:35
like ATF alcohol, tobacco and firearms, flowers, fire and they think it's
1:01:39
cool. But also the idea, this ridiculous idea that at the end he
1:01:45
just gives them the unit. He hands them the unit and basically they didn't
1:01:51
really do anything. Nobody did anything. Yeah, and they're all like congratulating
1:01:55
each other, and so many cavity searches were had, so much law was
1:02:00
broken to get to yeah, fixing this. And then he finds the the
1:02:06
ATF finds the picture of Dallas in his car that Beavis left after masturbating,
1:02:12
and they take in Tom into to get arrested as well. Yeah, and
1:02:21
it's funny and then they go back. I love how they don't really have
1:02:25
a sense of consequence. No, they're just after talking about it. Doesn't
1:02:30
Anderson live here, Like, yeah, I don't even remember that he was
1:02:34
somewhere already got arrested. And then at the end they find their TV.
1:02:38
They do and it's a nice ending. It is kind of nice send and
1:02:42
they walk off into the sunset. It's it's funny too. Also, like,
1:02:47
man, how do they get this movie made? Like well to follow
1:02:51
the logical conclusion of like, wait a minute, So this show is about
1:02:58
two teenagers watching a TV what if their TV wasn't there anymore? And that's
1:03:02
literally like all they needed to say, and it makes the entire story happen.
1:03:07
It's beautiful. Yeah, it's really really awesome. What would you rate
1:03:12
it? Eight point five out of ten? In terms of Bruce's it's nice
1:03:16
to see Bruce side Bruce. Yeah, nice to see some side boob and
1:03:23
some side Bruce. I mean he did a really good job. He did
1:03:30
a really good job. Like what are you going have faulted for? Yeah?
1:03:31
He I mean can we can we can we judge it because side Bruce
1:03:37
is also a part of his cannon? Can we judge side Bruce on a
1:03:40
side Bruce scale? Sure, it's like a sliding scale, but a side
1:03:45
Bruce scale. Yeah, so I feel like it still deserves like a nine
1:03:47
or a ten. I feel you, I'm right here. Yeah, sbs
1:03:52
side Bruce scale a nine or a ten, like, yeah, well the
1:03:58
hell he also he does not sound like Bruce Wallace, but but while still
1:04:02
being like okay, I recognize that it's his voice. It's like if somebody
1:04:11
you met someone in real life who just talked like that, and he's like,
1:04:14
hey, that guy kind of sounds like Bruce Willis Man, Demi Demie
1:04:16
Ward, Yeah, did a really good job? Should we give it some
1:04:20
Mese demise do we do? We want to do? We want to do
1:04:24
it to me like Demi dived, do it to me? Dive, we
1:04:30
gotta do Gi Jane Sure, and like maybe ghosts ghost ghost ghost in d
1:04:38
G I Jane. I mean, I think those ones are listed in in
1:04:42
the A Boner Show suggestion list that case sent us I like Gi Jane,
1:04:50
I wonder what else she's been in where she's like a lead, not not
1:04:55
just like a co lead or a oh in decent Proposal, she's a co
1:05:00
lead in that though co worker. I mean, Ghost is a great movie.
1:05:08
She's the main character and Ghosts that's true, it's about her, that's
1:05:11
true. I mean, it's also about her dead husband. But yeah,
