You know, I got to say there is a pretty, pretty drastic change
0:10
in quality from the first movie to the second movie.
0:16
Just from it being like the feel of that camera work, even
0:22
granted, there's still sophomoric bits that I'm like,
0:27
oh this must have been a fad or something because I hate.
0:31
This there there are some things that I genuinely hate about this
0:37
movie, but I was overall pleasantly surprised and I had a
0:44
fun time. I was like, OK, this I'm I'm
0:49
seeing the vision, I I'm remembering what I liked when I
0:52
was a kid and I'm having more fun, unlike International Man of
0:58
Mystery, where I got done with that and I was like, I don't, I
1:02
don't get it. Like I don't like it anymore.
1:05
I don't like it. Yeah, Nope, not a good.
1:10
I think I gave it what, a three, 'cause there were three good
1:12
things about that, yeah. I think you gave it a 3.5.
1:18
Oh yeah. Yeah, you gave it a 3.5.
1:22
But yes, you did make that joke of three good things.
1:26
And in this one, I would say there's there might be like 3 or
1:29
4 bad things that I legitimately hate about this movie.
1:33
But otherwise, I had a really good time watching The Spy Who
1:38
Shagged Me. I enjoyed myself a lot.
1:42
Well, that's good. I maybe didn't didn't capture
1:47
me, but it was very adequate for a parody.
1:54
I haven't watched any of the scary movies but I imagine it
1:58
was probably better in yes. It did.
2:01
I, I think I've watched three of the scary movies and the first
2:08
one is a movie that's fine to watch.
2:13
Yeah. And then after that they're,
2:16
they're just kind of insulting. And this one, I don't feel
2:19
insulted. I, I feel like they, they aren't
2:22
necessarily continuing to say let's poke fun at James Bond.
2:27
I feel like they were, they were like, here's our universe.
2:30
Let's run in this universe and play here.
2:34
Yeah, yeah, I can see that it it did feel more maybe since they
2:43
dropped the Austin Powers in the 90s.
2:47
I'm like, that's OK. He goes back to his time that he
2:49
belongs in and I was waiting and waiting to be like, are they
2:54
going to explain his non clown makeup teeth?
3:02
And they did. And it's like, oh, OK, because
3:04
that was a little bit like, are you like, are you guys just
3:07
moving on from that because it was kind of annoying.
3:11
No, you're going to keep it for a little bit.
3:13
We're like, we're going to do it here and there.
3:38
Hello and welcome to Potato Chip Pictures, the movie franchise
3:44
review podcast. Currently looking at the Austin
3:48
Powers franchise. I am B Sammy Davis.
3:52
And I am Justin. And today we are looking at the
3:54
second movie in the Austin Powers trilogy, The Spy Who
3:59
Shagged Me from 1999. Once again directed by Jay
4:04
Roach, Once again written by Mike Myers, but this time, this
4:09
time they have Michael Mccullers also helping in the writing
4:15
department, I guess. Is he a name I should know when
4:19
you say that? Like.
4:21
I oh, of course, Michael. The reason I say it with such
4:25
reverence is because I feel like this movie is watchable and the
4:31
last movie is not. And the only difference in
4:35
creative team that I can really point to is 1 new writer so.
4:41
Could be did a decent job. Yeah, you could also point to a
4:47
budget. Last time they had a budget of
4:50
18,000,000. This time they have a budget of
4:52
33 million, so nearly double the budget.
4:56
OK, well last time they returned with 67.7 million.
5:01
Now I did the movie a Disfavor. I never talked about its home
5:07
video returns because usually those numbers aren't published.
5:12
But this is one of those movies that did really well on the VHS
5:17
market in the 90s, later the DVD market.
5:22
International man of mystery, That's how it made its money.
5:24
So the $67.7 million return is pretty humble compared to The
5:30
Spy Who Shagged Me that had $312 million on its return.
5:37
That's amazing. Wait, this one had that or the
5:42
previous? Oh my goodness.
5:43
This one is the one that has the highest return of the trilogy.
5:49
This is the one that audiences loved.
5:53
But you could point to the first movie's home video market and
6:01
say, well, look how well it did on VHS.
6:03
Clearly the audience was going to show up for The Spy Who
6:06
Shagged Me, but this was only two years later.
6:09
I don't know if you have that guarantee.
6:12
Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to think of how it would have shaken out.
6:19
I think it's that makes it either a surprise or maybe they
6:27
marketed the 1st 5 minutes as it was 'cause I, I wasn't exactly
6:34
expecting his marriage to be cut short quite as it was.
6:39
But I do think it was the right call to have Vanessa turn into a
6:45
fembot and try and kill him. Because then you don't have to
6:49
really explore it and it goes back into James Bond of, oh,
6:53
he's single again. All right, yeah, Vanessa is an
6:56
afterthought. But I kind of hope that that
6:59
actress was able to have fun with that and be like, OK, we're
7:03
in this but got. To be in the movies, right.
7:07
Like she got a paycheck out of it.
7:10
Elizabeth Hurley I think is still a million times more
7:16
beautiful than anyone else in the rest of the Spy Who Shagged
7:20
Me, but I got a genuine chuckle out of two things from the
7:25
intro. When Vanessa exploded and Austin
7:31
was just standing there, all exploded as well.
7:36
I, I immediately thought about Daniel Craig visiting Vesper's
7:42
tomb and getting blown up and just standing up and walking
7:46
away from it. And I'm just like, yeah, spies
7:48
can't get blown up. That doesn't work on them.
7:50
A little ringing in your ears. They didn't shatter your
7:53
eardrums, but you'll be fine. I genuinely chuckled when he
7:59
said I'm single again. I was like, OK, that's good that
8:04
that's a that's a pretty good joke.
8:07
Let's get into this movie. I'm having a good time and I
8:09
really did enjoy the song and dance number again.
8:14
I mean, I wasn't quite feeling the him just being naked, like
8:20
you're single again, let's go sing and dance naked out in the
8:25
place. Like I understand that's that's
8:30
the move of Austin Powers, but just a little silly.
8:37
I I've got to point it out because I didn't point it out
8:41
last time and it was all over the credits this time.
8:45
George Clinton of Parliament and P Funk, He was a very popular.
8:53
Well, he was a a big funk musician in the late 70s and
8:58
early 80s. And then he became a producer.
9:01
He produced one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers biggest albums and
9:05
then he started working on film composition.
9:09
And this is so unlike everything else that he had done in the
9:12
past that, like, it blows my mind that the Austin Powers
9:17
theme is from the same person who brought me Aqua Boogie and
9:24
some Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's so nuts.
9:28
I would not have even thought of that.
9:30
I still don't know exactly much about that person.
9:34
What you've told me in the past 15 seconds is all.
9:38
Those of you who are nerdy about music, George Clinton is one of
9:41
those names where like people who enjoy music will hear that
9:46
name over and over again. I would recommend looking him
9:49
up. I would recommend learning the
9:52
history that he represents in music because he's so
9:57
understated and he shouldn't be. He's like you can pick him out
10:04
in a crowd. Anyone would know who he is if
10:07
they saw him like he's but most people don't know who he is
10:11
because these days he's more associated as a producer.
10:15
But that's that's all I'm saying.
10:17
I like the song and dance, I like George Clinton.
10:19
I had no problem with a naked Austin Powers.
10:23
It was continuing the gag from last time.
10:26
I get the gag, it was just like I would be as awkward and
10:33
weirded out as the rest of these people like.
10:36
Some of them are into it, and that's the part that I think is
10:40
hilarious. Like especially when he walks by
10:42
a woman and they're like, Oh my. And then like he'll hang around
10:50
the man and none of them seem to care.
10:53
So like, Nope. Like they've got in the
10:55
subtitles, they've got people off screen acting disgusted, but
11:00
nobody on screen really looks disgusted.
11:04
There's a couple of people who look shocked.
11:09
OK, I, I don't have a big problem with it.
11:12
It was just like, oh, this is what I wanted to watch a movie
11:16
for mostly 99% naked Mike Myers. That's that's why I'm here.
11:24
Well, I don't think they do that again in this movie, do they?
11:28
Like. No, not like in the first one.
11:30
Yeah, they only did it twice in the first one, but it was a a
11:35
fairly big deal. And then they only do it in this
11:37
song and dance number I do genuinely love.
11:42
So there are two costume changes.
11:46
He goes from his birthday suit to a swimming suit.
11:49
But then the one that I love because it's just so old school
11:53
and it still looks awesome is when they filmed in reverse.
11:58
Oh yeah. Him getting submerged in the
12:01
water in his felt suit, but by playing it back in reverse it
12:06
looks like he is coming out of the water completely dry and I
12:10
love it. It's just classic and it still
12:13
works. I like it.
12:15
Yeah, it's a nice, nice touch. Nice little thing.
12:19
Yeah, yeah. But then we get to, you know,
12:21
have the movie proper. And apparently Basil Exposition
12:27
knew the whole time. Yeah, Vanessa was a pimp.
12:31
I think it's a good this, this would be a problem if we didn't
12:36
know, but we're going to say we do know so we can just go on our
12:40
way. It's like, Oh yeah, she was,
12:42
don't worry about it. On to the next thing.
12:45
Yep, it's OK. Sorry.
12:49
Oh man, I'm trying to see where. Oh yeah, we also have to
12:53
reintroduce Doctor Evil. Oh, 'cause his stuff shows up.
12:59
Oh, and that Jerry Springer. Yes, that's the part I really
13:03
wanted to talk about. I didn't hate it as much as I
13:06
after I got through it, I was like, that does feel like Jerry
13:10
Springer and I didn't. It wasn't the same as the
13:16
therapy session in the last movie and like it.
13:21
It felt like it matched more the the audience so they can yell at
13:25
each other and and do whatever they want.
13:29
Mostly OK with it tone wise. Yeah, I the only thing I'm
13:35
curious about is how well that will age in the future, 'cause I
13:40
mean, I remember Jerry Springer as the show that I wasn't
13:45
allowed to watch and therefore would try to watch at any chance
13:50
I could get. And so of course it's got like
13:55
a, a core place in my memory. But if I were to show this to my
14:01
kids in a few years, would they understand the vibe?
14:05
Would they have heard of Jerry Springer?
14:08
Like, I don't know that this is the part of the movie that I
14:12
question the most where they really shove it firmly in 1999
14:18
and they're like, this is where we exist.
14:21
We've even got Madonna making her first big comeback.
14:26
She's not going to hold on to it in three years when she does the
14:29
Bond movies theme song. But right now she's got a huge
14:33
number one song that she wrote and put in this movie.
14:37
So it is A Beautiful Stranger by Madonna.
14:43
Been humming it all day. Nope.
14:51
It's played during one of the montages, but it was a number
14:54
one single around the time the movie came out and people were
14:57
like, wow, Madonna's back. She's she's never left.
15:01
She's the best. But yeah, it didn't last.
15:06
Didn't have a lot of hits after that, but.
15:09
Well, I think to maybe explain to the future, we don't come
15:16
back to 99 until the end. So yeah, that's nice to be like,
15:20
oh, well, we left Jerry Springer and we left Madonna and we
15:24
won't, We will. Well, here's the thing.
15:27
The Madonna song and most of the 90s songs happen in 1969.
15:35
Well, we left the visual parts of the 90s, sure.
15:41
This The visual scenes of the 90s are gone.
15:45
We won't have any more Jerry Springer show, but we will have
15:48
a lot of 90s music. They couldn't use music from
15:51
1969. It was 19.
15:53
It was 2000 and something when they were filming this.
15:58
No, that's a nonsense. That doesn't make any sense.
16:00
I. Was trying to parse that.
16:07
What is he saying? They had a time machine.
16:10
Yep. OK, we meet.
16:16
We meet a couple of new characters in the first act, one
16:21
of whom I like. Another kind of takes 2 points
16:26
off of the whole movie. Like I hate him so much and I'm
16:30
so angry that he exists as a character.
16:34
The one I like, the one that's good, is Mini me.
16:38
I like mini. I think he's fun, I think he's
16:42
clever. I love that the actor exists.
16:44
I love that he built a a very successful career out of
16:50
starting out as mini me. And I think it's just because he
16:54
did an Austin or a doctor evil costume for Halloween one year
16:59
and the picture made its way to the production team and it I
17:05
like it. It's grown on me and I'm fine
17:07
with it, and it's counteracted by the thing that I hate in this
17:12
movie, and that's Fat Bastard. Yeah, yeah.
17:17
I since I hadn't watched this movie before it was so taxing
17:25
every time they had to have him on screen because he kind of is
17:32
like a henchman but it's just just sucks.
17:39
So hard, like he's not funny. I don't like it.
17:44
It's just a a big fat shaming character and it's not even that
17:50
funny. And I get it.
17:52
He does a very good Scottish accent.
17:55
Like do it in Shrek in a couple of years and it'll be awesome.
18:00
Yeah, Yep, I I too would rank them that way.
18:05
I'd hadn't watch this movie so I've only heard of bits and
18:10
pieces of Fat Bastard, but not worth it.
18:15
And I'm, I'm going to spoil something for the next movie.
18:18
I know, I know for a fact that he's in the next movie.
18:23
I don't know if he's a big part of it, but I I do know that the
18:27
character returns. Our 20th century, twenty 20s
18:32
century selves. Yes.
18:35
Would not agree with the 90s that brought him back for some
18:39
reason. Well, here's the thing.
18:41
I in the 90s, I've never liked Fat Bastard.
18:46
I've never enjoyed the character.
18:48
I just don't get it. I don't think it's funny.
18:52
I don't. I just don't get it.
18:55
I I don't understand the joke and every time people try to
19:00
explain it to me I'm like that's it still sucks.
19:02
It sucks so hard and you're trying to convince me.
19:05
Like I feel like you're gaslighting me and telling me
19:09
the whole world likes this and I'm the only one who doesn't.
19:12
So I'm glad you also don't like fat bastard because I just don't
19:16
get it. And other people did, and they
19:18
loved him and they still quote him.
19:20
And they'll say get in my belly and they'll say I want to eat a
19:24
baby. That one didn't make sense.
19:27
Yes, none of it made sense. I mean to to counteract that
19:35
with good that what wasn't mentioned yet in the first act.
19:39
I enjoyed the fact that the two assassins sent to assassinate us
19:46
and powers at his residence. What's her name?
19:52
Robin. She gets shot and blown up and
19:56
falls out of like A5 story window and she doesn't die.
20:00
But I immediately thought when she got stabbed in the back the
20:03
first time back to James Bond. Oh she'll die.
20:07
Like guess what? She's not going to die.
20:09
Like OK, I can go with that. They even did the eyeball
20:13
reflection that they did the. Goldfinger.
20:19
I think the part that genuinely makes me chuckle at that scene
20:25
is the fact that OK, really fast, because this happens in
20:30
1969. The plot of the movie is that
20:33
Doctor Evil in 1999 has invented a time machine.
20:39
He and Minnie me are going to go back to 1969 where his assassin
20:45
Fat Bastard will steal frozen Austin Powers mojo.
20:52
Austin discovers this when his mojo is gone mid sex I guess
20:58
with one of Doctor Evil's assassins who that never turned
21:05
into anything. Anyway, he now has to go back in
21:09
time. And so the Ministry of Defense
21:12
has invented a time travelling beetle.
21:15
I love the line from exposition where he's just like, don't
21:20
think too hard about it. If we're going back in time,
21:24
just let us go for this ride. Don't think about it like.
21:28
And so when we get to the party, that's when the assassin shows
21:31
up. But you had mentioned earlier,
21:34
and this happens in that same scene, he looks in the mirror in
21:38
1969 immediately upon getting there and his bad teeth are
21:43
back. Yeah.
21:45
But they're actually good, bad teeth this time they.
21:50
Don't look like a costume store, Yeah?
21:54
Like they actually put some money into the bad teeth this
21:57
time around and it works. I'm I'm fine with it this time
22:01
around. Yeah, yeah, I think I'm trying
22:06
to think of what those are mostly the explanations because
22:11
Mini me gets introduced. The fat bastard steals the mojo
22:19
and we go back to 1969. I think it's interesting that,
22:24
you know, James Bond's super sex gets stolen.
22:26
It's like, yes, that would probably hamper a bit of the way
22:30
that James Bond works. Absolutely, like if if it had
22:35
been Bond who lost his mojo, that also would have become a
22:38
priority. But also the concept of losing
22:43
your mojo or having it stolen, that's a wonderful thing too.
22:46
I like it. Like we need this to happen.
22:50
Like that's totally doable. Like.
22:52
OK, so I, yeah, I genuinely enjoy that.
22:57
I think the funniest thing to me in the in the entire movie is
23:04
the fact that when Austin goes back to 1969, not only is there
23:08
a party in his pad, but the CIA agent is there and two Doctor
23:14
evils assassins are there. So who got the memo that Austin
23:19
was going to be showing up? They are ready for their
23:26
participation in the plot like we're here.
23:31
I I do genuinely like the party scene, Like, and it's, again, it
23:36
contrasts against the first movie's party scene that he
23:41
looks yeah, I was like, this is so sad to watch.
23:45
And then this one, I'm like, wow, this is a genuine party.
23:48
Like, they did a great job and I'm fully buying it.
23:52
So, so much of this movie feels like they were like, you
23:58
remember the last movie. Stop.
24:00
Just think of this one instead. Yeah, I think I was kind of
24:08
waiting for understanding who was the assassin and who was the
24:14
the right person. Because.
24:17
Apparently they got word to the CIA back in time about Austin's
24:23
quest. So.
24:26
But we get to meet a very gorgeous Felicity Shagwell.
24:30
Sure, sure. Played by Heather Graham, I had
24:34
to remember that name. It looks, I feel like she looks
24:38
like her scrubs era appearance and that because that's the
24:43
first place I remembered her from.
24:45
I, you know what? Now that you mention it, I kind
24:47
of see it. I kept thinking like she doesn't
24:49
look quite right, like I'm seeing her in something else
24:53
entirely. But I will say I genuinely enjoy
24:57
the character of Felicity Shagwell.
25:00
I like just like I really enjoyed all the Super horny
25:05
spies from the Bond franchise. Like when you've got equally
25:10
matched characters, I think there's more potential to have
25:14
fun. Whereas with Vanessa always
25:18
being like, no, no, Austin, that's you're wrong, that's bad.
25:22
No, you're not allowed to do that anymore.
25:26
You know, that was kind of a bummer.
25:28
And now this movie, you've got someone who's like, yes, let's
25:30
go, let's do it. That's kind of fun.
25:35
Yeah, I will say their initial meet and dance to Elvis Costello
25:44
and Burke Bert Bacharach. I am like, I have no idea these
25:54
people. The name sounds familiar and I'm
25:56
I'm sure the 69 era would say they're like Adele or something
26:03
I. Was about to say, like Bert,
26:06
fine, like his excuse was that he was in the last movie and
26:10
he's back again for the next movie, fine, whatever.
26:13
But Elvis Costello, man. Like his music is still on the
26:17
radio. Like, come on.
26:19
I have no idea which song you're talking about.
26:22
I'm. Going to have to, I'm going to
26:24
have to pull him up this to try to name some of the hits because
26:28
I don't know. I don't even like.
26:31
I will admit that it was a long time before I started listening
26:36
to Elvis Costello and I think it was because I kept hearing his
26:42
songs being covered by other people and now I'm looking at
26:48
some. I've liked one song and that was
26:52
Welcome to the Working Week. I don't know that one, but I
26:59
think it, the song in the movie sounded familiar to another one,
27:06
but I don't know what that one was.
27:09
I think it's a it's, it's a miss for me.
27:13
Yeah, and as I'm looking at it, I'm like, wow, I thought I liked
27:18
Elvis Costello more than I do because I'm not recognizing any
27:22
of these songs. Like maybe I'm thinking of
27:25
someone else entirely. Right.
27:26
It could be someone else say yeah, 1969.
27:32
So I mean, that was just a down part of why.
27:36
Like that part and Doctor Evil having the whole song thing are
27:44
probably my least liked bits that don't include Fat Bastard.
27:50
26 years after The Spy Who Shagged Me came out, if you were
27:55
to go to Elvis Costello's Spotify page, the banner picture
28:02
for it is Elvis with Bert Bacharach.
28:08
We got a clear picture of him and he's in a nice get up.
28:10
Yep, Yep. So that's, oh, that's silly.
28:14
But yeah, I, I was OK with it. Whatever.
28:20
I really enjoyed getting Will Ferrell back in this movie.
28:26
Yeah, I love that little, that that whole part where he's
28:30
chasing them in London across the PCH or whatever.
28:37
London that looks nothing like Southern California as they
28:41
drive through the highways of Southern California.
28:44
As they say that and and they stop to take him on the
28:48
interrogate him and there's a phone booth.
28:52
I loved it more. Yes, everything about that
28:55
little sequence was brilliant. That like, that's what I have to
29:00
say about this movie. This movie genuinely has 10 out
29:04
of 10 moments where you're like, I get it.
29:07
This is This is why people were obsessed with this movie.
29:11
But then it also has 0 out of 10 moments where you're like, damn,
29:16
they still couldn't do it, but we're in a 10 out of 10 moment.
29:20
I love Mustafa. I I mean, after Mustafa, we'll
29:25
get to the zero to 10 moment in a minute.
29:27
But yeah, Mustafa's good. I like that he didn't actually
29:31
die even after getting shot or no, wait, but he's alive because
29:35
we're back in time. He did get shot in the future.
29:38
Yeah, So I did like that. Yes, he got burned and then shot
29:42
in the future. Oh, and we also forgot to
29:44
mention the numbers back. Yes.
29:48
I think I don't know if the director or Rob Lowe decided to
29:54
let's do me playing this actor as a younger man because he hits
30:00
the tones and everything perfectly.
30:04
It is so good to have two different number twos.
30:08
I love Robert Wagner returning with just a small scar on his
30:12
cheek after being burned to death in the last movie.
30:16
Like, I'd love that, that that is how they address it.
30:20
He's back, but he's got a small scar now.
30:22
So if you saw the last movie, that's that's where that's from.
30:26
And then it's freaking Rob Lowe who plays him in the past.
30:30
Like such brilliant casting. And Rob Lowe is gonna be #2 for
30:35
most of this movie. And he's.
30:37
Perfect. He nails it.
30:39
He's so good. I think you did a great.
30:43
Job. And then another part of the
30:45
movie that made me laugh out loud was meeting Doctor Frau.
30:51
I forget her name. Frau something or other.
30:55
Farbisna. Yeah, Farbisna, Frau Farbisna
31:03
When we meet Rob Lowe and he's so youthful and full of life.
31:09
And then we meet Varbisina and it's the same actress.
31:13
And they laughed out loud. Yeah.
31:17
Which is they planned for that and they got it and they got
31:21
their laugh. Yep, they called it and they got
31:24
me it. Works where is.
31:29
Oh, but that is where is it. Oh, OK.
31:34
I'm trying to think of where we are because we, Mustafa happens
31:41
and then we go to the the headquarters.
31:48
I mean, there's there is an in between scene that's going to
31:53
happen and I can't tell you the exact timing, but there will be
31:57
an in between scene for Austin Powers with Felicity that
32:04
mirrors the scene that you're probably about to talk about.
32:07
But I'd rather talk about what happens in the volcano layer.
32:12
Volcano there. I mean, yeah, everybody's doing
32:17
it, I think. I I I think you should be a
32:23
poet. Well, so 9:50 for Mustafa, 0 out
32:32
of 10 for coffee. That is shit.
32:37
Oh yeah. Kills.
32:40
I don't even care what else happened in that scene.
32:42
I don't remember what else happened in that.
32:44
Scene, I was going to say you skipped like way ahead just to
32:48
get to that 0 out of 10. Yeah, like to to contrast the
32:56
thing that I liked with the thing that I hated.
33:01
I liked the flow. I liked going from Doctor Evil,
33:08
getting it using. Austin.
33:11
'S mojo. Then I liked going to Austin,
33:15
not getting it because he has no.
33:18
Mojo. No mojo.
33:20
And then going to Felicity getting it because her job is to
33:24
find the mojo. And so in that regard, like
33:30
pretty good pacing, Everybody's doing it.
33:33
You are correct. But at least there's a reason
33:36
for everybody to be doing it. And we get consequences for all
33:40
of them. We then immediately have Scott
33:43
coming back to 1969 to ruin Doctor Evil's good time.
33:51
And then we get Austin confessing his feelings to
33:56
Felicity, saying I lost my mojo, that's the reason we couldn't do
34:00
it. You are the best.
34:01
I want to shag so much. And then she doesn't get a
34:06
chance to confess her thing because it needs to be brought
34:09
up later when it can hurt Austin's feelings.
34:14
See, and I feel like at length where she's in it so much, I can
34:18
relate more to this romantic tension and binding where it
34:25
Vanessa and Austin never really felt quite convincing.
34:30
Same, same. I do kind of feel like there is
34:35
more of a vibe with with Felicity and Austin than there
34:41
was with Vanessa and Austin. Yeah.
34:45
So I'll agree there. I I, I don't like that our
34:55
finding the shit coffee is through going like it's all poop
35:03
jokes. We start with these the restroom
35:06
where Austin's like somebody flush it and Felicity's like,
35:09
no, we have to collect samples. And then you brought it up, 0
35:14
out of 10, they've got a very prolonged scene of is Austin
35:19
going to pour the coffee or is he going to pour the poo poo?
35:22
Oh no, he poured the poo poo. Is he going to drink the poo
35:25
poo? He's adding sugar to the poo
35:27
poo. Oh my God, he drink the poo poo
35:30
and it's I hate it. I'm not even listening to what
35:33
they're they're telling plot relevant information.
35:37
And I am so focused on how much I hate the fact that they're
35:41
making a a poop joke here. Yeah, I hate it.
35:46
Yep, Yep, Yep. 0. So that that really cuts into
35:52
the the ranking of the first half.
35:54
Mm Hmm. Fat Bastard existing and
36:00
creating the Pooh Pooh joke. Yeah, that's that's.
36:04
My contrast Mustafa and Felicity and several other people that
36:11
calendar balance. That mini me for me, I enjoy
36:14
mini me in this. I enjoy the silliness of the
36:18
plot. I enjoy the upgrade of the
36:21
costume teeth. There are some genuinely great
36:25
things in this movie. There's just in the first half
36:29
that we are in. There are two things that really
36:32
sucked me out and one of them, thankfully, is done.
36:36
We don't have to come back to it.
36:41
Yeah, well, so they know where the what do you call it?
36:47
The evil lair is in the hollowed out volcano, which when you say
36:51
it in Austin Powers movie, it's there to remind you that yes,
36:55
that would be impossible Doctor No for you to put or not Doctor
36:58
No the. I was going to say that was blow
37:01
fell. You did the.
37:02
The volcano. Volcano.
37:03
It would be. Impossible to do that.
37:07
But but number two, young #2 can make it possible.
37:11
Not like old janky #2 only brought irritable sea bass.
37:18
Yeah, because he's built a Death Star with a laser that's going
37:24
to blow stuff up like, OK, that's that's evil villain, go
37:30
be evil villain. He does that.
37:34
OK. I didn't need to get distracted
37:37
by him getting it on because of the mojo because that's like,
37:42
OK. But what about getting
37:45
distracted by him stealing from the 90s?
37:49
I loved all of Doctor Evil becoming culturally aware of the
37:56
world. For the 90s.
37:58
Always wanting to talk about it. Yeah.
38:00
Like he steals 2 songs from the 90s.
38:03
He makes references to Jerry Springer style talk, he makes a
38:10
couple of references to movies and bands that are at least past
38:15
the 60s and I get a small chuckle out of all of them.
38:20
I get a big chuckle out of him demanding $100 billion in the in
38:25
1969. I laughed just as hard as the
38:30
president at that one. He's like, oh, that's great.
38:34
He he never understands money. So, you know, there are these
38:38
small Doctor Evil touches that they keep sprinkling in because
38:43
we have to have Doctor Evil in this movie.
38:46
And they work for me this time, like last movie, they annoyed
38:50
me. This movie, I'm like oh man,
38:52
this is hilarious. I mean I I'm not quite at
38:57
hilarious, but it was the the interaction made sense for the
39:03
silliness of the movie. The next Doctor Evil scene will
39:09
rank lower on my enjoyment. Which one is that?
39:14
Song and scene. Oh man, that was a charting song
39:21
too in 1999. OK, but I didn't see it in 1999
39:32
or 2003. When is this 119?
39:35
This one came out in 1999. OK.
39:38
It's our other one that we're watching that's different year.
39:42
Yeah. So watching it now for the first
39:47
time in 2026, it doesn't do much for me.
39:56
I agree, I didn't much like. Bro Will Smith, yes.
40:04
So this is this is a long walkthrough to get to this joke
40:10
because you've got the original Bill Withers song that I love.
40:13
And then in the 90s, Will Smith sampled that song and had a a
40:18
big charting hit song that might have been in 98, maybe 97, but
40:23
probably 98. And then the joke being that
40:28
Doctor Evil is stealing all these #1 songs.
40:31
And one of the songs he steals is Will Smith's sample of Bill
40:36
Withers. And so it works for me, at least
40:40
on the Bill Withers level because I like him as a singer.
40:44
But I was very much aware of that Will Smith song at the
40:49
time. It was always being played at my
40:51
school like it was on the pop radio station.
40:55
It was, it was a big jam. And then, you know, a year
40:58
later, Doctor Evil does it. And that was a novelty hit song.
41:02
It wasn't like a popular song. It was a novelty song.
41:07
People were just like, Oh yeah, I remember when that charted
41:09
last year. Now it's funny, ha ha ha.
41:15
Yeah. But I'm fine with you not liking
41:19
it. I I got a chuckle out of it
41:22
nonetheless. But it is prolonged.
41:24
It's the entire song I. Think this is this is a very
41:29
long. I don't know.
41:32
Then like they intersperse it with Austin and Felicity in a
41:37
tent doing a shadow gag. And it's like, I could
41:41
appreciate that one. I don't know that there's any
41:44
James Bond. What do you call it, like parody
41:49
that they're doing? But I do know that they.
41:52
Yeah. I think this is just classic.
41:54
Slapstick. Yeah, there's other slapstick
41:56
satires that also do it, and I I hear that they do it in the
42:02
newest Naked Gun, and that made me chuckle.
42:07
I, I didn't love, you know, finding the explosives in the
42:11
bag, making it look like she's pulling all these things out of
42:14
his butt. But when the guards decided to
42:18
rush the tent and they both stand up and for some reason,
42:22
Felicity grabs the bag and holds it up.
42:24
And then more grenades fall and it looks like they're falling
42:28
out of his butt. That, that final little button
42:31
worked for me. I, I was kind of not enjoying
42:35
most of it, but that last little button, I was like, OK, OK, that
42:39
was good. Yeah.
42:41
Unnecessary and good. Yeah, the they get captured and
42:47
they get a costume change which mirrors when Vanessa got
42:51
captured, but Felicity doesn't get nearly as much material for
42:55
herself. Then they are briefly confronted
43:02
by Doctor Evil and then sent away to not die again.
43:08
And you know, once again, stealing a bit from the last
43:12
movie, Scott is not. That he's.
43:14
Upset by this but again it worked for me.
43:19
He says shit again. At least not this time.
43:22
He's got to zip it. Yeah, I think Zip it was the one
43:28
that I heard more than his Hush or whatever it was in the last
43:35
movie. Zip.
43:36
It was the one I heard all the time from teachers especially.
43:41
And like, keep in mind, I had maybe four years of school left
43:46
after this. Like I was at the end of my my
43:50
secondary time. I guess I was a freshman when
43:52
this movie came out, but that was enough time to hear teachers
43:58
doing their own renditions of Zip It for the next few years.
44:03
Maybe the teachers were the right age to appreciate the
44:07
juvenile humor. No way, man.
44:10
When I was in high school, my teachers were a million years
44:13
old. That's the only way it could
44:15
possibly make sense. Exactly.
44:17
Precisely. Oh well, I'm glossing over a fat
44:23
bastard again, which is fine. I was going to say he's made
44:27
several appearances and we have not talked about any of them
44:32
because the dude sucks. He.
44:37
Just sucks. But he's also in this movie.
44:39
We're sorry to anyone who loves him.
44:42
You can write us an e-mail at potatochippicturespod@gmail.com
44:46
and tell us. Tell us what we missed.
44:48
Tell us why you think Fat Bastard was great and you can
44:51
detail all the scenes that we didn't even talk about.
44:56
Oh, and now I'm trying to figure out where everybody was because
45:04
they go to the volcano layer and get captured, but then everybody
45:10
ends up on the moon base, but only Austin has to take Apollo
45:14
11 to get there. Yeah, I was going to say,
45:18
Minnie, me and Doctor Evil go voluntarily.
45:21
They're not being chased. They're not being threatened.
45:24
They have captured Austin Powers, and they are convinced
45:27
that he is going to die. So they get on their rocket
45:30
ship. They have a fun little gag about
45:34
you know how much of a countdown to do that put a smile on my
45:38
face. But when Austin and Felicity of
45:42
course escape their easily escapable thing and make their
45:47
bad puns, they then escape the volcano layer.
45:53
They learn about the penis shaped rocket.
45:58
We missed that pipe. Well, I mean, that happens
46:02
pretty much right now. If you want to talk about it, it
46:04
is. It's an extended gag.
46:07
I think where OK, so he that's OK.
46:12
So they're put into their prison and they go, but there's what, 7
46:20
or 8 cuts where the previous sentence gets ended as it was
46:27
going to be ended but with a new person saying the word.
46:31
So it's like, and so it's like Flying Willie, it's Willie
46:35
Nelson. What's that?
46:36
It looks like a giant Johnson. Where it General Johnson just
46:42
long enough? It had just enough and they all
46:47
hit the same funny bone. I was OK with it.
46:51
Yeah, it's, it works for me. I'm fine with it.
46:56
It loses some of its shine the more that it's played out.
47:01
So I think that this movie does it well with the amount that it
47:05
does. It's enough to be funny.
47:07
And then at the very end they will come back to it.
47:09
But I think they only do it once or twice the cuts.
47:15
So they understood like they did it the first time perfectly.
47:19
The second time would have overstayed its welcome if it
47:23
kept going. So I think just the call back
47:26
was plenty. But I do genuinely enjoy, and I
47:31
think it was Willie Nelson and Woody Harrelson.
47:36
Those two. Cameos were the ones that made
47:39
me laugh the hardest 'cause I was like, Oh my gosh, yeah,
47:41
those are both names for penises.
47:43
I think I had remembered Willie Nelson, like I'd seen a clip or
47:47
something of that exact one, but I did not remember Harrelson.
47:53
Yeah, and this was before big time comeback Woody Harrelson.
47:56
Like. He's got this listful look on
48:00
his face, as though, like you guys don't understand, in a few
48:04
years I'm going to be a hot commodity in Hollywood.
48:07
You're all going to want me. I guess so, yeah.
48:12
Oh man. Well, they go to turn it off and
48:16
well, but Austin has to fight mini me and shoot him out into
48:19
space and it's it's all right as like this is the main henchman
48:25
that he has to overcome. So of course you have to beat
48:27
him before you go to the bad guy.
48:29
Well that's The funny thing is like the main henchman is fat
48:33
bastard but he never does hench many things until the end of the
48:37
movie. Instead, Mini me acts like the
48:39
main henchman for the movie and I'm mixed on the Austin Powers
48:49
mini me fight. Like it's kind of funny, but
48:54
it's also kind of over long. Like, I don't know, like it.
49:00
You got to catch me on the right day.
49:01
On the right day I'm going to say it's hilarious.
49:04
And then on the wrong day, I'm going to be like, Nah, that that
49:07
was too long. Yeah, and.
49:10
He survives in the vacuum of space for like an hour, yeah.
49:15
The the essentially pooping him out into space was like, all
49:20
right, yeah, at least we can be done with this fight.
49:24
Yes, that's the only good thing about that conclusion is that it
49:28
is a conclusion. I don't understand the pooping
49:32
him out. He's wearing a a space suit.
49:35
Yeah, 100%. That's the part that I'm like,
49:37
what are you? Are you saying you're pushing
49:39
him out of your butt? Like you're literally pooping
49:42
him out or what is happening? I don't get it.
49:45
So I and I don't care because once the fight is done, I'm
49:50
like, OK, I don't think we ever have to think about this again.
49:54
We're done with it. Let's never look at it after
49:59
that. They've got to.
49:59
They've got to do their thing. Yeah, they've got to be Doctor
50:03
Evil, but Austin doesn't manage to save both Felicity and beat
50:10
Doctor Evil, so he has to go back in time and then he can
50:13
beat them. I was about to be like, does he
50:16
go back in time 1/3 time? No, they just escaped.
50:20
Yeah. There's only two of them.
50:22
Yeah, I I really like this tiny time loop.
50:30
You know, it's only a one time loop.
50:33
It's Austin going back one time and creating 2 versions of
50:37
Austin Powers. But it works for me.
50:41
I think the part that that sold me on it is when the gunfight
50:45
starts and future Austin only has a finger gun and so he's
50:51
just like pointing while past Austin is shooting his actual
50:55
gun and then everybody's thrown off.
50:58
So future Austin has to do the air quotes with the laser so
51:03
Doctor Evil can be like, oh, thank you, fire the laser.
51:07
Like that part worked for me. I really enjoyed the one time
51:13
loop sequence of Austin going back 10 minutes.
51:17
I was like, wow, like this could have fallen apart.
51:21
It could have really sunk the whole thing and it really was a
51:25
delight. It was a lot of fun to watch all
51:27
of this happen. Yeah, I think it's so it's an OK
51:34
ending to the satire where if they had ended it here, maybe it
51:42
would be a happier ending than seeing Fat Bastard one more
51:47
time. Because you, I mean, Doctor Evil
51:53
doesn't get all the way defeated, right?
51:56
He gets away. He gets away, but he is still in
52:00
1969. He is floating in space in 1969
52:06
with many me, but Austin, Felicity and OK Austin and
52:13
Felicity for sure went to 1999. I thought past Austin went to
52:19
1969, but later on we're going to see him in 1999 with his bad
52:27
teeth. And that's also how we're going
52:29
to distinguish past Austin from Future Austin.
52:33
Past Austin still has bad teeth. Future Austin has good teeth.
52:39
Interesting. Yeah.
52:42
But as exposition told us, we can't think about it too hard.
52:46
We just got to kind of live with it.
52:51
Yeah, I guess I was trying to. I was halfway thinking in my
52:56
mind, it felt like one of the Austins had left him there to
53:00
die like last. Austin, he just bounced.
53:06
Like we watched him bounce. That's why I was like, I thought
53:08
he went back to 1969. I couldn't remember where he
53:12
went because I wasn't paying that close attention.
53:14
I was more shocked at the fact that one of our Austins was
53:18
like, all right, well, I'm out of here.
53:21
'Cause they try and get the mojo, but the mojo gets.
53:26
Yep, Mojo got smashed. But that's OK.
53:30
He had his mojo the whole time. He defeated the bad guy.
53:35
He saved the world. And believe me, Austin, you're
53:38
gonna get the girl. Yeah, it's quite the line.
53:43
But hey, Felicity, that was a cute line.
53:47
But what if? What if the mojo was the thing
53:50
that made the other thing work? Right.
53:54
All the charm in the world won't help if the thingy isn't doing
53:59
what the thing he's supposed to do.
54:02
And that's the mojo, James Bond and Austin Powers.
54:08
I mean I did see now that the one of the Austins just bolts at
54:14
like 1 minute left and then they both go.
54:18
Maybe confused me a little bit. But where they go is 1999 and
54:23
you are correct to point out that the very next person they
54:27
see is Fat Bastard and he doesn't look 30 years older, so
54:32
I guess he also went to 1999. That makes no sense then.
54:40
Yeah, like there's I don't even think he was on the moon.
54:43
How did he get to 1999? That's just horrible, I didn't
54:49
want to think about him again and now he gives no reason to
54:52
hate thinking about them again because it doesn't make sense
54:55
unless he made it through the portal somehow.
54:58
He's a USU. PS: Delivery guy now but.
55:04
But he's not because he's still an assassin.
55:06
He's getting paid for this job like.
55:11
Yeah. I guess maybe, maybe from the
55:16
volcano layer, because that was where another time machine was.
55:21
Unless The Time Machine had been disassembled in the volcano
55:25
layer and brought to the moon, I don't know how easy it is to
55:30
build a new time machine. Maybe, I don't know, I I think I
55:36
only really was paying attention that Felicity and Austin are
55:44
happy to have a party in their room because they push a button
55:48
and all these people are in the 1999 but dressed like from 69.
55:55
So then I didn't really pay much more attention like this
56:00
because. Doctor.
56:01
Evil catches mini me in his ship.
56:05
Yeah, I was going to say there are some mid credit sequences
56:09
and one post credit sequence. I think the mid credits
56:14
sequences include Doctor Evil catching Mini me.
56:17
It could be that that's just like right before the credits
56:20
start. I know one of them is Scott back
56:24
on Jerry Springer because this time they're bringing out his
56:29
mother and it's Frau Farbisina. We knew that the whole time, but
56:34
I guess this is the first time Scott's learning it.
56:39
Yeah. And then then we've got one more
56:42
scene where Austin returns home and Felicity is sleeping with
56:48
someone else. But it's OK.
56:50
It's past Austin with the bad teeth, and they're just going
56:54
to, you know, have a menage a trois.
56:56
See, I didn't even get into the credits, so I didn't know about
56:59
these guys. And then I think, I think there
57:03
is one more where it's Mustafa. Continuing to call.
57:07
For help saying is the movie over?
57:09
I'm still in a lot of pain. So that's what you missed in
57:14
comedies. You're more likely in the 90s to
57:17
get post credit sequences. It's not going to be until
57:20
Marvel when everybody starts to give us more movie after the
57:24
movie used to just be a comedy thing.
57:28
But that's what you missed for your credit sequences.
57:32
You missed one more joke from each of them.
57:37
At least it wasn't too crazy. Yeah, it wasn't like, teasing
57:42
for the next movie or anything. It felt more like deleted scenes
57:47
or, you know, final little nods to previous jokes.
57:53
Yeah, nothing important. I don't think anything that
57:57
we're watching in those credit sequences is going to show up in
58:01
substance in the last movie, you know?
58:04
Yeah. So you didn't miss anything?
58:10
Well, all right, I won't miss too much about this one.
58:15
OK, well let's do it then. On this show we offer review or
58:20
ratings. I'm going to say it wrong every
58:22
time. On this show we offer ratings,
58:25
not grades. The key difference there is
58:27
where you find the average in a grade.
58:29
You say the average is a 7 out of 10, and you weight everything
58:33
higher so that people will fall into your average of seven out
58:36
of 10. But in a rating, the middle is a
58:40
5 out of 10. That's where you find the
58:42
average. And so when we say your favorite
58:45
movie was a 5 out of 10, it's not that it was a bad movie,
58:48
it's that we found it to be in the average for us.
58:52
So with that said, Justin, how would you rate Austin Powers
58:57
Colon The Spy Who Shagged Me, and why?
59:04
The things I liked were more than the things that I disliked
59:09
because most of the dislikes come down to singular
59:13
characters, some scene choices, and just overall less to less to
59:23
actively dislike about this one. As a sequel to the first one, I
59:29
didn't get my hopes up. I think I enjoy the the romantic
59:35
pairing have two super sex super spies to make it through the
59:43
whole movie and it's like OK so if she died or something it
59:49
would like if she turns out to be a femme but in the third one
59:53
I might chuckle but I might also be like you did that already.
1:00:01
I actively dislike Fat Bastard and.
1:00:06
Extended musical sequences and poop coffee.
1:00:16
That's about it. So I'm I'm happy to give it an
1:00:22
above average rating at 5 1/2. All right, I've got it in the
1:00:30
book. I'm going to change the color of
1:00:32
text so that I can see mine as well as yours.
1:00:37
I'm with you everywhere. I'm going to say I so I watched
1:00:42
this movie twice over the course of the last week.
1:00:45
The first time I watched it, I think it was right after we got
1:00:48
done recording. I was like, this movie is only
1:00:50
an hour and a half long. I'm going to watch it and when I
1:00:53
got done with that viewing I was at a 7 out of 10 with Fat
1:00:58
Bastard being the worst part of the movie and then some of the
1:01:02
dated stuff not really working for me.
1:01:04
But otherwise I was like this was shockingly good compared to
1:01:08
where we started. And then I watched it a second
1:01:13
time and it didn't work as well for me.
1:01:18
And there were only a few days difference between those two
1:01:22
viewings. And it just, it didn't kill the
1:01:27
movie, but it did bring me down to a six as my final score.
1:01:33
Because I started to notice some of the things that just didn't
1:01:37
work as well. Some of the things that I kind
1:01:39
of ignored the first time around were a little more jarring the
1:01:44
second time around. And like I said, the existence
1:01:49
of Fat Bastard takes 2 points away from this movie.
1:01:53
Like, if there were a version of this movie that could somehow
1:01:57
cut smoothly cut every Fat Bastard scene from it, the movie
1:02:05
would probably be an 8 out of 10.
1:02:07
It still wouldn't be perfect, but it would be a shockingly
1:02:10
great comedy movie. But Fat Bastard sucks so much
1:02:16
that I cannot think of this movie without thinking of him as
1:02:21
a character. And that kind of kills it for me
1:02:25
because there's a lot of good stuff in this movie and then one
1:02:28
terrible thing in this movie, and he's just so much in this
1:02:33
movie. You could have used #2 to go do
1:02:40
this stuff and get. Exactly.
1:02:42
And you would have more Rob Lowe for the movie.
1:02:45
And who's ever gonna complain about getting more Rob Lowe?
1:02:48
Like that would have been fantastic.
1:02:51
Yeah, exactly. He's like, no, I need 3
1:02:53
characters. And of course he needed three
1:02:56
characters for the second movie because in the third movie he'll
1:03:00
get 4 characters. He's gonna get one more
1:03:03
character per movie. So I still love Doctor Evil.
1:03:09
I think the character shines brightest in this movie.
1:03:13
I thought he was the best part of the first movie, and I think
1:03:17
he remains the best part of this movie.
1:03:21
Austin, I think, was more tolerable and frankly more
1:03:24
enjoyable. And if you're going to have your
1:03:26
name on the franchise, you better be worth showing up for.
1:03:31
And he was this time around. I enjoyed him so.
1:03:35
I can agree, I think I enjoyed most of what he did here.
1:03:39
Yeah, so for a show average of 5.75, we're going to leave it
1:03:47
here. If you want to help this show
1:03:49
out, there are lots of ways to do it.
1:03:51
One of the best ways to do it is to leave a like or rating a
1:03:55
comment, a review, whatever you're allowed to do on the the
1:03:59
platform that you are listening, do that thing.
1:04:02
It'll help other people to say, hey, maybe I should give this
1:04:06
show a shot. You can also share it with your
1:04:08
friends and family, especially if you liked it.
1:04:11
If you hated it, share it with your enemies and worst foes.
1:04:17
That'll show them what's what. If you want to comment on what
1:04:22
we said about Fat Bastard and how wrong we were, again, send
1:04:27
us an e-mail, potato chippicturespod@gmail.com.
1:04:30
And then finally, check out our shorts on Instagram, TikTok and
1:04:35
YouTube. Next week it's going to be
1:04:39
Austin Powers in Goldmember from 2002.
1:04:45
I know I've seen it once. Zero.
1:04:48
I might have seen it in theaters when it came out, but I know
1:04:52
I've seen it once. I have no idea what's waiting
1:04:56
for me. Yeah, this, this whole franchise
1:04:59
has been brand new to you, right?
1:05:01
Like you have not seen any of these?
1:05:03
Yeah, none that I've sat down for.
1:05:04
I think I've maybe seen clips here and there but.
1:05:08
Yeah, but I mean, that would be like saying someone has seen
1:05:11
Goldfinger because they've seen the three famous clips from the
1:05:16
movie. There's, you know, there's more
1:05:19
to it than all of that, but sure.
1:05:23
I hope so. I had seen the 1st 2 movies the
1:05:29
most and so it kind of surprises me.
1:05:32
I think around 2002 that was when my tastes started to change
1:05:37
as a person and so that might be why I only saw it once and just
1:05:41
kind of never came back to the franchise.
1:05:44
Maybe I just I thought I was too adult for it man too.
1:05:49
Cool man. I, I was like 18 years old in
1:05:53
2002. I was.
1:05:54
I was an adult. I think maybe I mean 18 year
1:05:58
olds might be the most aware of the cultural moment, but other
1:06:04
than that I didn't have much going on in my brain.
1:06:10
Yeah, well, it'll be interesting to see how well this one holds
1:06:14
up, but I guess until next time. Thank you guys so much for
1:06:19
listening. Goodbye.
1:06:34
There are some things where like, I don't necessarily need
1:06:39
to talk about every tiny scene. I don't need to talk about Fat
1:06:44
Bastard arriving at the volcano layer and everyone thinking that
1:06:48
the volcano's about to erupt. Like that was such a nothing
1:06:52
sequence like. He's fat to be part.
1:06:56
Of the review, Yeah, like we told you 3 times already, let's
1:07:01
tell you a fourth time and so. Yeah, I don't need to know where
1:07:07
the probe goes. I don't need to think about
1:07:12
seeing naked hairy butt crack like.
1:07:15
But that was plot necessary. I'm like, OK, that's, that's
1:07:23
where we're going, Austin. Powers I think about.
1:07:30
I think about the Terminator franchise.
1:07:32
Have you seen the first Terminator movie?
1:07:36
Not not as a sitting in the watch.
1:07:39
I think I watched part of it as like.
1:07:42
Well. It was on TV going to sleep.
1:07:45
Then I'm going to spoil something.
1:07:46
It has a plot relevant sex scene.
1:07:50
And the reason I know this is because all growing up, I
1:07:54
remember, especially when we moved to our present state, I
1:08:00
would always hear people be like, well, there's never been a
1:08:03
necessary sex scene in a movie. Like you could cut all of them
1:08:07
and you would still have all of the plot.
1:08:09
Well, in Terminator, you absolutely need the sex scene
1:08:12
because it is plot necessary. And in Austin Powers, The Spy
1:08:16
Who Shagged Me, You Need the fat.
1:08:18
Bastard slot. I mean, I think from it being in
1:08:24
the toilet you might infer where, but yeah.
