  I appreciate. It you seem zanned out.
• 2:53
  Yeah, I feel pretty. I, I don't know, when I got down
• 2:56
  here, I just, I just started to relax.
• 2:59
  I'm like, yeah. That's what we want here.
• 3:01
  That's what we want here at the studio.
• 3:04
  I rode the bus here and sometimes that makes me a little
• 3:07
  tired. No kidding.
• 3:09
  It you're like a baby, it'll lull your.
• 3:10
  Right to sleep, to be a moving vehicle.
• 3:12
  And then we went past Colfax and I woke the fuck up, you know?
• 3:18
  And I was like, get up. Oh my God, I'm about to have a
• 3:20
  sleep study done because I snore like crazy and I'm thinking, OK,
• 3:26
  maybe I do have sleep apnea. Maybe I am not breathing in the
• 3:30
  night, but who's to say because I'm not there, I'm asleep.
• 3:34
  But I had to do the screening with my doctor and they're like,
• 3:36
  OK, so how likely is it that you would fall asleep when you're a
• 3:41
  passenger riding in the car? I'm like likely.
• 3:45
  And they're like, how about when you're driving the car?
• 3:48
  I said not likely, but I'm glad that they asked that.
• 3:51
  I'm glad that they asked because I am like a baby in that it's
• 3:55
  really easy for me to fall asleep in a car, plane, bus,
• 3:58
  train. Everything.
• 3:59
  And it is one of my better qualities.
• 4:01
  A lot of people are jealous of that.
• 4:03
  When you get on the plane and they say you can sleep on the
• 4:05
  plane immediately, just wanna just knock me out.
• 4:08
  What else am I doing on this plane?
• 4:10
  Truly watching. Working on a laptop am I?
• 4:13
  Working. Paying $8 for 30 minutes of
• 4:17
  Wi-Fi? No thanks.
• 4:19
  I wanna have a dream. Yeah, I wanna dream that I'm
• 4:22
  already where I'm supposed to go.
• 4:26
  Wake up. That's time travel.
• 4:27
  Wake up when the hit wheels hit. Yeah.
• 4:29
  And I'm like OK, good, every this is good.
• 4:32
  I'm either waking up when the wheels hit or in heaven.
• 4:34
  I don't know. Yeah, yeah, either way.
• 4:36
  And either way, I'm gonna be dreaming in the meantime, you
• 4:39
  know? Yeah.
• 4:40
  Well, I like this. I like.
• 4:41
  They're on the same page. Me too, yeah.
• 4:43
  So you decided to talk about Pootie Tang today.
• 4:48
  You. You suggested it and I said, Oh
• 4:51
  my God, can't believe it wasn't even on my list, wasn't even a
• 4:54
  consideration. And I'm so glad that you did.
• 4:57
  What made you want to talk about Pootie Tang today?
• 5:00
  And what is your history with Pootie Tang?
• 5:01
  Woof, I was thinking about it because it came out in 2001 in.
• 5:07
  911. No, it's AI.
• 5:11
  It's a different time. It's a different.
• 5:12
  Time. It was a different time because
• 5:14
  how did I watch that movie? I don't know.
• 5:16
  I don't know. I know.
• 5:18
  I then again the next year had a birthday party.
• 5:20
  I made my mom rent it. We watched it.
• 5:23
  You. You and the kids.
• 5:24
  Me and the kids watched it at my party.
• 5:26
  I was probably like 10. That's so funny.
• 5:28
  That's and she said, you know what?
• 5:31
  Pootie Tang is here for the kids.
• 5:33
  He says don't do drugs, don't drink brown liquor and don't
• 5:41
  smoke cigarettes. And.
• 5:42
  And your parent said, yeah, yeah, that's a message for
• 5:47
  Chanel for yeah. And the kids, maybe that's the
• 5:49
  only part. Yeah, maybe my mom watched.
• 5:51
  I was like, why did you? That's so funny but if I'm if
• 5:54
  I'm 10 I'm laughing my little ass off watching this.
• 5:58
  I didn't watch it when I was 10. I was much older.
• 6:00
  And I honestly don't think I've sat down to watch it, like cover
• 6:04
  to cover. You know, it's one of those
• 6:06
  movies where it's like, I've seen like parts of it on TV, but
• 6:11
  I haven't like, sat down and been like, OK, I'm watching
• 6:13
  Pootie Tang. So this time was different.
• 6:17
  Yeah, I and then in high school, my friend had the VHSI used to
• 6:22
  watch it like every day. I knew all the words.
• 6:24
  Oh my God. And then, like, I got older and
• 6:28
  I would tell people like, that's my favorite movie.
• 6:30
  Yeah. And they'd be like, that's funny
• 6:32
  because you don't even smoke weed.
• 6:34
  This was what I was. This was when I was, yeah, like,
• 6:38
  I was. I didn't start.
• 6:39
  I was probably like, 26 when I started smoking for real.
• 6:41
  But they were like, why is this your favorite movie?
• 6:43
  And you don't do drugs? And I was like, that's my
• 6:47
  personality. This is a part of it.
• 6:49
  OK. And.
• 6:49
  What was it like watching it again now as an adult who smokes
• 6:54
  weed? It's so funny.
• 6:58
  It cracks me up. Yeah, yeah.
• 7:00
  It cracks me up. I think I just love, like,
• 7:03
  remembering that little inner child of myself when I'm
• 7:06
  watching these. Yeah, that's cute.
• 7:08
  Like, they make you feel good and then you're like, this is so
• 7:10
  stupid. Yeah.
• 7:12
  But I'm happy I can still enjoy stupid shit, you know?
• 7:15
  We, I mean, look, in this economy, we have to.
• 7:18
  OK, OK. Of course.
• 7:22
  This was written and directed by Louis CK Big bummer.
• 7:26
  Big bummer. Right off.
• 7:27
  The We didn't know when we were nine.
• 7:29
  We. Didn't know.
• 7:30
  We didn't know it was state-of-the-art.
• 7:33
  A lot of people in Hollywood knew, I'll say that.
• 7:35
  They didn't even tell us. But they didn't tell us until
• 7:38
  much later. And even when they told us, we
• 7:40
  said, I don't know, I guess he's not that bad.
• 7:42
  Yeah. He's Are you guys sure?
• 7:44
  I didn't say that I didn't. Say that I said, yeah, honest,
• 7:47
  you know, you know that, like, you're a bad person.
• 7:52
  When news or allegations come out about you being, like, a
• 7:56
  sexual predator and people say, yeah, that adds up.
• 7:58
  Yeah. You know, like when people are
• 8:00
  not surprised, if someone's not surprised to hear it, that's
• 8:05
  tough. That's.
• 8:06
  Pretty bad. A person who has dated men.
• 8:09
  Oh yeah, I've had men with way less money.
• 8:13
  Yeah. Do some like the audacity old
• 8:15
  man. And now you're you think you're
• 8:17
  somebody. Yeah.
• 8:18
  So I'm like, yeah, I've had, you know, guys who've done that type
• 8:22
  of shit and I'm like, what the. So I'm like, yeah, yeah, sounds
• 8:26
  like truth. Sounds like sounds like a man
• 8:29
  would. Sounds like things are on track,
• 8:32
  yeah? So he came up with this idea
• 8:35
  when he was So it's a character. Pootie Tang, of course, is a
• 8:40
  character from the Chris Rock show, the sketch show.
• 8:43
  And Louis was a writer on the show at that time.
• 8:46
  And the guy who plays Pootie Tang is actually, he also was a
• 8:49
  writer on the show. He's not like an actor, actor,
• 8:53
  obviously he acted in this film, but his main thing was writing.
• 8:57
  He was kind of just like, you know, slated in as a character
• 9:00
  during the show. And of course, like really all
• 9:06
  sketches that are turned into a feature film.
• 9:12
  It was a big fat flop and everyone kind of hated it when
• 9:18
  it came out. And look, I kind of when I
• 9:21
  watched it, I wanted to hate it. I wanted to come in and be like,
• 9:26
  this is exactly why I hate this movie.
• 9:30
  And I just didn't. I didn't hate it.
• 9:33
  I didn't hate it. I laughed and laughed and
• 9:36
  laughed it. Yeah, it's it.
• 9:38
  It's so loosely tied together. It's not a plot and it certainly
• 9:46
  doesn't work as a feature film. But did I laugh?
• 9:51
  Yeah. Yeah, you bet I did.
• 9:53
  Yeah, the the gorilla costume. It's just ridiculous.
• 9:58
  It's so it's like, I'm not like, oh, put it up.
• 10:01
  What What do movies get? Oscars?
• 10:03
  Yeah, they. Do I'm not like doing?
• 10:04
  Oscar Oh, you know, it's like I can't, can't everybody get,
• 10:08
  can't every, can't everything be for that?
• 10:10
  No, no. And not everything should.
• 10:12
  But you know, what this should have been was 20 years later on
• 10:18
  Adult Swim is what it should have been.
• 10:21
  You know, like I think that this would have been better as like
• 10:24
  a, you know, 10 in 10 minute increments.
• 10:28
  Oh yeah. Maybe even 5.
• 10:30
  Little, little snippets of Pootie.
• 10:31
  Maybe even 2. If they brought it back, yeah,
• 10:34
  I'd watch it. I know you.
• 10:35
  I'd watch it so hard. I know you would.
• 10:37
  Yeah. I'd really TuneIn.
• 10:40
  I don't know if I'd stick around, but I'd TuneIn to see.
• 10:43
  Yeah, I get it. Yeah.
• 10:44
  It's like it's yeah, it's just a goofy.
• 10:47
  I'm like, he's like, let me see a clip of your new movie and
• 10:49
  then it's the whole movie. Yeah, that OK, So Bob Costas in
• 10:52
  the movie, that's how the whole thing is set up.
• 10:54
  It's so meta because he he's being interviewed by Bob Costas.
• 10:58
  We're introduced to Pootie Tang. He is he's a multi hyphenate
• 11:01
  really. He's he's an actor, he's a he's
• 11:04
  a he's a just like Chanel Hughes.
• 11:06
  Famously they said Pootie Tang just like Chanel Hughes, a multi
• 11:10
  hyphenate. He does it all, and he's being
• 11:14
  interviewed by Bob Costas, who asked him about his movie.
• 11:17
  He says, all right, let's show a clip.
• 11:19
  And then that is the whole movie, which as a premise,
• 11:22
  hilarious. And we don't even.
• 11:25
  I mean, like, I had forgotten, of course, until the end when we
• 11:28
  come back. And he's like, yeah, so that's
• 11:30
  the clip from the movie. Hey, it's so meta that it's a
• 11:35
  movie within a movie. OK.
• 11:38
  And it's also like, is it, is it blaxploitation within the satire
• 11:46
  of blaxploitation of here's the thing, I'm too young to really
• 11:52
  resonate with like the satirical elements of this because like I,
• 11:59
  I have, don't really have like a lot of experience with that era
• 12:03
  of like blaxploitation movies. I don't know, I don't know them.
• 12:06
  I've never met them, so I don't really know.
• 12:11
  A lot of the satire stuff, just kind of like, like, I understand
• 12:14
  conceptually, like what they're satirizing, but I don't have a
• 12:18
  reference to be like, oh, he's doing that thing that that
• 12:21
  character did and that. Oh, yeah, I don't know that.
• 12:23
  Yeah. 'Cause I'm also very young,
• 12:25
  yeah. So I don't know any of you.
• 12:27
  Guys are I mean. It's like, I guess it is like,
• 12:30
  it's a weird movie, right, 'cause as a as like a black kid,
• 12:33
  I love this movie. And then you grow up and you're
• 12:35
  like Louis CK. Yeah, that and that's a lot.
• 12:39
  That's like a lot of that's a lot.
• 12:40
  That little leprechaun, sorry. But that's a lot of black
• 12:44
  experience. You're like, who wrote this?
• 12:45
  And you're like, oh, white, man, White.
• 12:48
  Yeah. But it was good.
• 12:49
  It was OK. Not everything, but it was.
• 12:51
  It was my shit. And here's.
• 12:53
  The thing too is that like, just when you think I feel kind of
• 12:56
  guilty for liking this when it was written by a white guy.
• 13:00
  Don't worry, Louie didn't make any money on this movie.
• 13:03
  It was a total flop. So, and he personally kind of
• 13:09
  hates it. He feels like it's such a
• 13:11
  different version of the movie compared to what he wrote.
• 13:15
  Cause originally Paramount was going to release this under it's
• 13:18
  kind of like art house division. It was going to be like an even
• 13:22
  lower budget. It was going to be a limited
• 13:24
  release and just like some theaters.
• 13:26
  But then Austin Powers came out and they were like, well, let's
• 13:29
  make a black Austin Powers. And, and obviously that didn't
• 13:33
  work. But the studio came in, took
• 13:38
  over a lot of stuff. I think a lot of the budget was
• 13:41
  spent in post production too, because like Louis said that the
• 13:45
  budget was like 3,000,000 and then they ended up spending like
• 13:50
  an estimated 7 million. So I think a lot of stuff was
• 13:52
  done in editing. A lot of stuff was just like
• 13:55
  left on the cutting room floor or reworked.
• 13:57
  And so if you like this movie, don't worry.
• 14:01
  It's not really Louis CK's work anyway, right?
• 14:05
  Look at this. Look.
• 14:07
  A loophole. But we know, of course, that the
• 14:09
  studio executives who were like, let me get my dirty little hands
• 14:13
  on this. They probably weren't black
• 14:15
  people. No, no, not at all.
• 14:18
  Not at all, they said. I think, like, even the
• 14:21
  characters in this movie really made this movie, right?
• 14:24
  Like they had some high quality, like even.
• 14:27
  OK, so the character Pootie Tang, his name is Lance Kruther.
• 14:30
  He's never been in anything else again.
• 14:32
  And I'm like, he was so perfect for this.
• 14:34
  Like for this movie to be such a quirky.
• 14:36
  Didn't go how was supposed to go?
• 14:38
  Nothing. And it's like, that's why I came
• 14:40
  together. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:41
  You know who I didn't love though in this movie?
• 14:43
  Chris Rock. He just annoyed me.
• 14:46
  I'm sorry for you young people. Chris Rock was the one who was
• 14:50
  slapped by by Will Smith famously at the Oscars.
• 14:56
  If you don't know who that is, he was the recipient of the slap
• 15:00
  heard around the world. So.
• 15:03
  Young people, that's who we're talking about.
• 15:05
  Young people, honestly, what had honestly, what has he done since
• 15:11
  he got slapped? Has he done?
• 15:14
  Did he did. Stand, I think he's done some
• 15:16
  stand up he's. Been doing stand up.
• 15:17
  I don't know. Probably he's got to get his
• 15:19
  check. I can't keep up and I thought so
• 15:25
  because people wanted to hear him talk about it.
• 15:26
  I mean, I would, but obviously I didn't care enough because I
• 15:30
  didn't look into. It well, I know he did like some
• 15:32
  stuff, but how long has the slap been now I.
• 15:34
  Mean God, it's been years. Right.
• 15:36
  Yeah. So anyway, it's been a while
• 15:38
  since I'd interacted with Mr. Rock on my screen, and I found
• 15:43
  his characters to be only annoying and not that funny.
• 15:46
  That's fair. The corn was was OK Daddy Tang
• 15:51
  was OK. The radio producer guy I said
• 15:56
  enough, this is too much. Too much for you is too much.
• 16:00
  The fact that he was like freaking out so much when the
• 16:03
  song was, if you're, if you're listening to this and not
• 16:08
  watching it, you're missing out because the song is.
• 16:12
  That's it. And I thought, we don't need
• 16:16
  Chris Rock no pants screaming. I didn't.
• 16:21
  I just thought it was too. He's wild.
• 16:24
  It's too much. That's.
• 16:25
  Why? It's like, who was y'all making
• 16:27
  this for? I don't know, 'cause it couldn't
• 16:30
  have been adults. No.
• 16:32
  It couldn't have been especially I feel like adults in the early
• 16:36
  2000s were serious. I wonder, like, OK, let me ask
• 16:40
  you this. Who do you think Austin Powers
• 16:42
  is made for? I didn't really watch that.
• 16:46
  No, OK. Coming up.
• 16:48
  Yeah. So that's what I'm saying.
• 16:49
  I'm like, I feel like that was more for it was all this stuff
• 16:54
  is for kids, right? Because it's stupid.
• 16:57
  Because it's stupid. It's so stupid, but I feel like
• 17:00
  that humor was more mainstream. Yeah, you know.
• 17:04
  Yeah, yeah. So that's fair.
• 17:07
  Yeah, but it's like Chris Rock with nothing on and slamming
• 17:10
  stuff is like 10 year old Chanel is cracking up totally.
• 17:14
  Of course, of course I'd crack up if I watched it right now.
• 17:17
  Just cause muscle memory. Absolutely that inner child.
• 17:20
  But I see what you're saying. Yeah, 'cause he was.
• 17:23
  So he was a serious dad. I can't.
• 17:26
  I love it too much. I'll try to critique it.
• 17:28
  And. I'm like, I know you're doing
• 17:30
  great. He came with the corn.
• 17:32
  Oh shit. Yeah.
• 17:34
  Like if my parent came back to me as corn and was like bitch
• 17:36
  get it together. I mean, look.
• 17:39
  What can I do? Yeah, I mean.
• 17:43
  It's so. It's just so stupid.
• 17:45
  I thought that it would have been even better if he didn't
• 17:47
  have Chris Rock as the corn. If he just like cried because
• 17:52
  the corn died, I think that would have been even better.
• 17:54
  But here's here's one thing that's interesting.
• 17:56
  OK, so I guess a lot of the voice over stuff was done in
• 18:03
  post production. Like they weren't planning on
• 18:05
  doing a ton of voice over. That was one piece that Louis CK
• 18:08
  said that he wished wasn't in the film as much, like the
• 18:11
  narration. And I thought that we needed the
• 18:15
  narration because otherwise, what the fuck are we watching?
• 18:18
  What's going on? Literally what is going on?
• 18:20
  Yeah. And at every point and at every
• 18:23
  point when I'm thinking, where are we going?
• 18:26
  Then we got Wanda Sykes and I'm like, thank you for bringing us
• 18:30
  back. And she gives us a little
• 18:32
  exposition and she's a breath of fresh air and she brings me
• 18:35
  right back up. But I thought that the scene
• 18:38
  with the corn, that part would have been better if there is no
• 18:43
  voice over being like, it was his dad and he was corn and
• 18:46
  Pootie Tang was crazy because he was crying over corn.
• 18:49
  It's like if he was just crying over the corn, we would have
• 18:53
  understood. Right.
• 18:55
  But then we have JB Smooth. Yeah, being ridiculous.
• 18:59
  I know, OK, I think my favorite part of the movie might have
• 19:04
  been 702 singing that song, that catchy, catchy song that meet
• 19:08
  that full music video full. Music video Oh.
• 19:11
  My God I bet they spent most of the budget on that music video.
• 19:14
  It was so fucking. Catchy.
• 19:16
  And that's what it's like. What is this movie?
• 19:19
  Yeah, it's a clip. It's a music video.
• 19:22
  It's a history. It's present, it's past.
• 19:25
  If you look if you look it up online, it will categorize this
• 19:29
  film as comedy musical. That's funny.
• 19:33
  And I and I thought musicals maybe a bit of a stretch, but.
• 19:37
  Yeah, 'cause I'm like. That but that one song.
• 19:40
  I mean God. It's so good.
• 19:42
  And it's not like, it's not like Wicked, you know?
• 19:44
  Like I'm like, look, it's musical.
• 19:45
  That's crazy. Yeah, I don't.
• 19:47
  There's no fools. The only song has no sound.
• 19:51
  It was kind of like, OK, so this is not the movie we're
• 19:55
  discussing today, but did you see Sinners?
• 19:57
  Yeah. OK, a lot of people describe
• 20:00
  that as a musical. Was that a musical?
• 20:02
  No. OK.
• 20:03
  And I love musicals. Yeah, 'cause people hate them.
• 20:06
  I get it. Yeah.
• 20:07
  No, it was not. OK, I agree and that is the
• 20:11
  correct answer. Chanel, I agree it is not a
• 20:13
  musical because there is music in it.
• 20:17
  Yes. But now are we saying, are we
• 20:19
  saying that any movie where music plays a role is a musical?
• 20:26
  No. But then I mean all this genre
• 20:29
  bending, it's like, at what point do we call something a
• 20:32
  musical? What qualifies it as a musical?
• 20:34
  We need a song, like an actual catch.
• 20:39
  I think actually we need maybe even more than that.
• 20:44
  We need a couple songs. I think we need an ensemble is
• 20:48
  what we need. I think that is really what
• 20:50
  separates a Well, no 'cause centers did kind of have an
• 20:53
  ensemble. It was like he came and then
• 20:56
  they were like, and if there had been music before that, yeah, I
• 21:00
  would have been like, this is a music like right when he stepped
• 21:02
  in his daddy's or left. Like you got to be singing and
• 21:05
  walking. That's true.
• 21:06
  You got to be you got to be at the store and and doing a twirl
• 21:09
  and singing and grabbing your coffee 'cause you're in love.
• 21:12
  Like it's yeah, he wasn't doing any of that.
• 21:15
  He was at the club where he's supposed to sing at singing.
• 21:19
  So yeah, that is why I think Pootie Tang is not a musical,
• 21:24
  because there's a music video at the beginning.
• 21:27
  He sings a song with Missy Elliott which like, I'm so happy
• 21:32
  to see Missy Elliott on my screen at any time.
• 21:35
  I do love. Missy, that scene, I was like,
• 21:38
  what are we doing here? I mean, even more than the rest
• 21:41
  of the film. I'm saying, what are we doing?
• 21:44
  What is the sex symbol? Yeah, did.
• 21:48
  I see myself in Pootie. I feel like you.
• 21:50
  We brought this up and now I'm like.
• 21:53
  Do you see yourself? Do you put do you put a little
• 21:56
  bowl of milk outside for your hose?
• 21:58
  Absolutely not. Absolutely not.
• 22:01
  That part did. Let's talk about not aging well.
• 22:05
  It is. Supposed to just be ridiculous
• 22:07
  that like this woman is screaming she wants Pootie so
• 22:11
  bad he locks her out of his out of his house.
• 22:16
  He opens the door, gives her a little milk kind of baby girl
• 22:20
  style. You seen baby girl?
• 22:23
  No. There's a scene where, yeah,
• 22:24
  there's a scene where she she just, she does drink milk like a
• 22:29
  cat. After a guy gives it to her,
• 22:33
  Yeah. So this it might have aged well.
• 22:35
  Honestly, did this move, did they get it from this?
• 22:40
  They said, oh, that's kind of freaky.
• 22:42
  I. Guess it feels like in some
• 22:44
  sense, yes. So the satire of it, yeah, OK.
• 22:50
  I'm sort of like, OK, on the one hand, I thought that Pootie was
• 22:54
  supposed to be a supporter of women.
• 22:57
  You know, earlier in the film, he's like, you know, we got we
• 22:59
  don't talk like that about women.
• 23:01
  I mean, you know, he says it in his own Pootie way.
• 23:04
  But but then he's like kicking this woman out of his, out of
• 23:08
  his house and giving her giving her milk like a little kid cat.
• 23:11
  And then the voice over is like. This bitch is crazy.
• 23:15
  She's drinking milk like a cat. It's like we know Jamie.
• 23:18
  'S food is a whole like we can do a whole different OK, OK,
• 23:23
  this is the I I I don't I don't object.
• 23:26
  I just I just was like she was all over Pootie.
• 23:28
  She wanted to do the nasty with him.
• 23:30
  I assume we assume and Pootie was like no and also never get
• 23:36
  osteoporosis. He cares.
• 23:38
  He cares about woman's health, maybe.
• 23:41
  Yeah, he said. When you were on me, your bones,
• 23:44
  I could hear them. But that is dumb and it is not
• 23:48
  OK to do that. But that I guess it's the
• 23:51
  fandom, right? Like that's what that was trying
• 23:53
  to satire this. Like, oh, women will do anything
• 23:56
  for these men. Right.
• 23:57
  Like, is it that's the thing that's so hard is that this
• 24:00
  movie is so like meta upon meta that are we supposed to believe
• 24:05
  that Pootie, our, you know, our hero, the coolest guy ever, is
• 24:11
  really a misogynist? Or is this movie making fun of
• 24:17
  the people who made the movies in the past where they made, you
• 24:19
  know, women be little Kitty cats?
• 24:22
  Yeah, and do crazy stuff, right? It's true.
• 24:24
  It's hard to know. Hard to know, hard to know the
• 24:27
  intention. But when we know who the, when
• 24:29
  we know who the writer and director was, it's kind of like
• 24:33
  kind of puts everything in a in a different light.
• 24:35
  You know what you know, It's hard to trust the intentions.
• 24:38
  It's hard to say the intention here was good.
• 24:42
  No, no it wasn't. No, it was not.
• 24:45
  Whatever it was, it wasn't good. OK, so even for OK, I'll just
• 24:50
  say this, even for a movie with no plot, it's really challenging
• 24:54
  for me to remember, like what happens, You know, it's one of
• 24:57
  the one of those movies where I'm like, Oh yeah, there, this
• 25:01
  happens and this happens and this happens.
• 25:03
  There's no like cause and effect.
• 25:04
  We're just like on to the next thing.
• 25:06
  Which is, again, why I feel like it would be better as a series
• 25:09
  than it is as a feature film. And that's fine.
• 25:13
  But I just want to talk about Wanda Sykes's Biggie Shorty for.
• 25:16
  A minute. I love her.
• 25:18
  I love her. It's so sketch comedy in the way
• 25:21
  that she's like, dressed in this wacky ass costume with these bad
• 25:26
  wigs, as if she just like, you know, ran in from backstage and
• 25:30
  was like, OK, here I am like, I guess I'm Big Shorty now.
• 25:34
  And I love that. Yeah, I loved it.
• 25:36
  Yeah, she's good. She's OK.
• 25:38
  OK, back to the plot. You don't feel like the plot is
• 25:45
  we got Pootie is our good guy. Of course he's our good guy.
• 25:48
  He's our hero. Fall, of course, hit the arc.
• 25:51
  Yeah, You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
• 25:53
  And come back. Yeah.
• 25:54
  Save the day. And I mean, but here's The
• 25:56
  thing, is that like he, yeah, he had to go to, he had to go to
• 26:01
  the country to find himself. After his belt, yeah, 'cause the
• 26:04
  hose, I know, they're so strong. The I guess it's sort of like
• 26:09
  what is the challenge that he has to overcome Hose, I guess.
• 26:13
  Yeah, well, like, you know, OK. It's like, you know when.
• 26:18
  Yeah. Well, that's his weakness.
• 26:19
  They said that in the very beginning, though.
• 26:21
  They said that in the very beginning.
• 26:22
  We got that voice over that said that that was his weakness.
• 26:25
  That that the ladies were his weakness.
• 26:27
  Oh, wait, I know you've got a thought.
• 26:30
  And I'm gonna and I'm gonna. I'm gonna hear your thought.
• 26:32
  OK, I even though it is so funny, the little kid Pootie
• 26:38
  Tang, the little Pootie. That is the part where I'm like.
• 26:43
  When there are grown women who are like sexually attracted to
• 26:49
  him when they're throwing his stuff out the window.
• 26:51
  I mean, first of all, that's hilarious that they're throwing
• 26:53
  out the little tricycle and stuff from the window.
• 26:55
  And a little kid dressed up as a little adult is all will always
• 27:00
  be funny to me. It's always funny when little
• 27:03
  kids act like little adults. But I did not like that.
• 27:08
  There was just some, you know, the the pedo element of it.
• 27:12
  It's just not not the right time right now in this.
• 27:16
  It wasn't. Ever cultural moment.
• 27:17
  And it wasn't. Ever.
• 27:18
  Ever. It wasn't ever feels
• 27:20
  particularly bad. Yeah, when I watched it, like I
• 27:24
  probably watched it a couple years ago, like as an adult,
• 27:28
  like after I hadn't watched it for some time and I was like, Oh
• 27:30
  no. Yeah, yeah.
• 27:33
  Like, OK, funny. No, yeah, no.
• 27:36
  No, no, I mean it would have been funnier if honestly would
• 27:41
  have been funnier to me and much easier to watch now if there had
• 27:47
  been like a little kid playing the role that the adult woman
• 27:52
  did. Yeah, that was funny.
• 27:54
  If like if there was like a six year old kid throwing his stuff
• 27:58
  out the window saying like. I was like off her yard.
• 28:03
  Even it being in the house was like what is going on?
• 28:06
  I know what is going on. Yeah, it was a lot.
• 28:09
  It was a lot. It was.
• 28:10
  But I like your rewrite. Yeah, Yeah.
• 28:13
  So it was. It was.
• 28:14
  That was bad. So I was, so, you know, things I
• 28:16
  would have changed. Yeah.
• 28:18
  Tough, tough. Yeah, I was like to.
• 28:20
  Watch it was bad. When it was bad, now it was
• 28:22
  like, what? What?
• 28:23
  What? First of all, I was a grown
• 28:25
  adult woman. What?
• 28:27
  Yeah. He's a child and not and even
• 28:33
  even Megyn Kelly would say he's a child because he was what,
• 28:36
  like sex? Not MK.
• 28:39
  I got a chuckle. From Nick MK Oh Lord.
• 28:43
  I was like OK, well, OK, we're gonna.
• 28:47
  I'm tired of y'all. That's why even.
• 28:50
  Why? Why why?
• 28:53
  No one asked. Nobody asked.
• 28:57
  OK, what were you? What were you gonna say a couple
• 28:59
  minutes ago when I I? Forgot what were we talking
• 29:03
  about? I'm so sorry.
• 29:05
  His hero. Arc we were talking about his
• 29:06
  hero arc and how his weakness was the ladies.
• 29:10
  And then he had like, they signed him up and they
• 29:12
  representing him bad and everybody was believing it.
• 29:14
  And then he lost a lot of faith in himself because he was like.
• 29:17
  Everyone lost everybody. And like, them doing the little
• 29:21
  editorials was crazy. They were like, fuck, hey, but
• 29:26
  that's real, right? Like everybody will love you one
• 29:28
  day and hate you the next. Absolutely.
• 29:30
  So he had to go get his stuff back together and realize it
• 29:33
  don't matter what people say about you, Pootie.
• 29:35
  Absolutely. We need you.
• 29:37
  I did think it was a little bit confusing how it's like, Oh
• 29:40
  well, it's like you have the power all along.
• 29:42
  It wasn't in the belt, but it's like obviously it is in the belt
• 29:45
  once he gets the belt. Then it smack him like yeah.
• 29:48
  But it's maybe, like now he can. Now he really knows how to use
• 29:51
  the belt for good, to represent himself with authenticity.
• 29:56
  It's true. Don't love how they talked about
• 29:59
  how Irene played by Jennifer Coolidge, an absolute Dame, a
• 30:06
  beautiful woman. They said you wouldn't expect
• 30:09
  it, but she could drive them crazy or like whatever.
• 30:11
  It was as if like looking at this conventionally hot woman
• 30:15
  would not be. They said that also about the
• 30:17
  country pumpkin girl. They're like, she wasn't sexy.
• 30:20
  I'm like. I mean, but I, I see why they
• 30:23
  said that. Not in that sense.
• 30:25
  But like back then, it's like I, I've, I've watched a lot of
• 30:29
  these movies back then and I was like, like, I watched Freddie
• 30:31
  Got Fingered recently and they were like Drew Barrymore's fat.
• 30:34
  And I was like, what? And so it was just like this,
• 30:37
  like, oh, unless you're thin, unless you're young, unless
• 30:39
  you're, you know, so I was like, OK, I see not justifying it.
• 30:43
  Just like in that time. You were like I get at that
• 30:45
  time. Women had to be one thing.
• 30:48
  Yeah, one thing. Yeah, 1 little thing.
• 30:51
  'Cause they were all beautiful women.
• 30:52
  We seen them, obviously everybody in that.
• 30:55
  Yeah. But I was like, you know, it's
• 30:57
  always this like, oh, this girl, nobody wants her in the country.
• 31:02
  She's just out here and you're like, she's fine.
• 31:05
  Yeah. She's just living her life.
• 31:07
  And she's what size? I don't know.
• 31:09
  Yeah, 12, like, that's what? But that back in those days.
• 31:13
  Yeah, fat. Immediately a cow.
• 31:17
  A pig. Yeah, but right on right at home
• 31:19
  with those farmers. That was good.
• 31:25
  And that's that. Was great.
• 31:26
  That was good. But yeah, back to every time I
• 31:28
  watch a show from back then, they were like, this person was
• 31:31
  fat. And I'm like.
• 31:31
  You're like who? They were not, no.
• 31:34
  But back then, yeah. And even I was like, as a chubby
• 31:38
  kid, I was like. You were like, she's one of us,
• 31:42
  yeah. I was like, if she could get
• 31:43
  Pootie, Me too, you know? Not that I wanted Pootie.
• 31:46
  No, but you wanted to be Pootie, maybe.
• 31:48
  I think I didn't want to be him more.
• 31:49
  I think he not the kid with the adults.
• 31:52
  Of course. But just like, he was just a
• 31:54
  badass, you know, He just came up.
• 31:56
  He didn't speak no words. Which, is he neurodivergent?
• 31:59
  We don't know. I think he's on a different
• 32:02
  planet and that's. A different plane.
• 32:05
  He's just on a different. Plane than well dimensional.
• 32:07
  He isn't. He does not like He's so beyond
• 32:13
  us mere mortals. You know, that makes sense.
• 32:15
  I just think he's he's on a different plane.
• 32:18
  But is he neurodivergent? Yeah, of course.
• 32:20
  You've seen the way he, sorry, the way he runs his.
• 32:24
  That's not a, that's not a neurotypical kind of guy.
• 32:28
  He's just like, he's at the crime scene.
• 32:29
  He's dancing. Oh, yeah, That's very just so
• 32:35
  dumb. Yeah, but I get it.
• 32:39
  I feel like if I was in the middle of a fight, I might dance
• 32:41
  a little, yeah. And then be like focus, you
• 32:43
  know? And the whole bit, I mean the
• 32:46
  whole bit of like he says something and everyone
• 32:50
  understands it until he like says one thing a little bit
• 32:54
  different than they're like, what did you just say?
• 32:56
  What the fuck did you say? And then he like, adds, he adds
• 33:00
  like a random syllable at the end.
• 33:02
  And then they're like, oh, that's what you meant.
• 33:04
  I guess that's how they ended it.
• 33:05
  Like on the Chris Rock show, that's how they ended.
• 33:07
  Every sketch was like, Chris Rock would be interviewing him.
• 33:10
  And then he would say some nonsense and start like,
• 33:12
  mumbling. He'd be like, what the fuck did
• 33:14
  you just say? And then he and then Pootie Tang
• 33:17
  would like, say the same thing but with like, a slightly
• 33:20
  different syllable somewhere in there.
• 33:23
  And then he'd be like, oh, of course, why didn't you say so?
• 33:28
  I need to watch the Chris Rock show.
• 33:30
  Yeah, I'm not. Watch this.
• 33:32
  I watched only the first appearance of Pootie Tang on the
• 33:36
  Chris Rock show. OK, it was funny.
• 33:39
  OK, yeah. I was like, I didn't know this
• 33:43
  history. I didn't even know.
• 33:44
  Yeah, some of those shows I don't remember.
• 33:46
  Yeah, because we were small. Because we were small.
• 33:48
  Yeah, it was on HBO. Hell yeah.
• 33:51
  What the fuck? No.
• 33:52
  Hell no. No, yeah, my parents weren't
• 33:55
  letting me watch HBO back then, but I guess I guess you could
• 33:59
  because you rented the movie for your birthday party.
• 34:02
  That's awesome, by the way. I just feel like my mom didn't
• 34:07
  like, I don't know, a lot of boomer moms was just like, here
• 34:10
  you go, you know? For sure.
• 34:12
  Yeah, and like have have a good time.
• 34:13
  And then she probably thought it was funny and like, you know.
• 34:16
  She was enjoying it too. That's funny as hell.
• 34:19
  Yeah. Are you the youngest child?
• 34:21
  I am. OK I was going to say same here.
• 34:23
  I feel like it's also a young, younger child thing where
• 34:26
  they're like, yeah, you should watch whatever you want.
• 34:28
  Yeah, do whatever, I don't care. Absolutely.
• 34:30
  And look, we turned out fine. Exactly.
• 34:33
  WADA, Tay. WADA Tay.
• 34:36
  OK, so there's what was I going to say?
• 34:43
  Oh yeah, there's I read this interview with Louis CK.
• 34:49
  It was from 2004, so it was looking back on Pootie Tang just
• 34:54
  from like a couple years later. And it was like from the
• 34:59
  beginning, like from the time that it was released, he was
• 35:01
  like, fuck this movie. I hate this movie.
• 35:03
  I'm never doing another movie. I don't know, like everyone just
• 35:06
  stole everything from me. They wanted to make a black
• 35:08
  Austin Powers. That's not what I was trying to
• 35:10
  do. And they cheapened it.
• 35:12
  And it's, you know, I just wanted it to be grittier.
• 35:15
  That's what they always say, say I wanted it to be grittier.
• 35:18
  What the fuck does that mean? Anyway?
• 35:20
  You can see that like the studio's grubby little hands
• 35:25
  were all over it in some ways because it just like at some
• 35:30
  points it's like the joke just doesn't end.
• 35:35
  But I don't know. I'm sort of like, I feel very
• 35:39
  torn because on the one hand, I want, I want film makers to be
• 35:44
  able to make the film that they intended to make.
• 35:48
  On the other hand, I want Louis CK to feel like he has failed.
• 35:52
  Yeah, yeah. So there's that.
• 35:56
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, what movie did you
• 36:01
  really intend to make? Right.
• 36:02
  And we'll never know, I guess. This is also this is like some
• 36:06
  cocaine fueled shit. Of course, what are y'all?
• 36:10
  Talking about you don't even know what was going on.
• 36:12
  Yeah. What?
• 36:13
  What? Yeah.
• 36:14
  What? So yeah, that cracks me up.
• 36:17
  Yeah, that cracks me up because whose was it?
• 36:20
  How can he say it's his? Did he invent that character on
• 36:23
  Chris Rock? He was a writer on the show at
• 36:25
  that time, so I don't know if it was his idea or if it was
• 36:30
  something that came from somebody else in the writers
• 36:32
  room or if it was a collaborative.
• 36:33
  Effort. Who knows?
• 36:35
  That's who knows. Who knows if it was his idea.
• 36:37
  I don't even know if it should have been, but OK.
• 36:39
  If it if it wasn't his idea or if it was his idea, no it
• 36:43
  wasn't. Yeah, who told you what?
• 36:45
  Yeah. Roger, Ebert said should have
• 36:49
  never been released. A lot of people said similar
• 36:53
  things. They said the main criticism was
• 36:55
  like, this movie is disjointed. The jokes go on too long.
• 37:00
  It doesn't make sense. And I didn't really need it to
• 37:04
  make a whole lot of sense to still get some laughs.
• 37:08
  But I was like, OK, let's. Wrap it up to the.
• 37:12
  Next and it's an 80 minute movie.
• 37:14
  I mean, it's short and 10 minutes of that are the credits,
• 37:18
  the credit, the stuff I went on in the credits.
• 37:20
  I said enough, I'm done, let me be excused.
• 37:24
  Oh, we're not the little ending scene.
• 37:25
  Yeah, I just didn't need it. I was like, OK, I I'm done.
• 37:29
  Let me, let me go. No.
• 37:32
  You were there for it, cult. It's I'm a cult classic, lover
• 37:35
  of Pootie Tang so I. Can't.
• 37:37
  So you say no, I'm no. I will debate whether things age
• 37:42
  well and something. No, no, but I did well.
• 37:46
  I used. I just used to watch the whole.
• 37:48
  I knew every part. Yeah.
• 37:50
  And that also goes to show how much time I used to have on my
• 37:52
  hands. That's why I tried to watch it.
• 37:54
  This. I've been trying to watch it.
• 37:55
  Yeah, I watched like 30 minutes, but I've watched it so much.
• 37:58
  You know it already. Which is a sin.
• 38:01
  No, it's. Not if it's if it's all these
• 38:03
  people hated it. That cracks me up.
• 38:06
  People hated it, but people are wrong sometimes.
• 38:08
  Yeah, people can be wrong, even critics.
• 38:12
  Especially critics. You know, that's pretty on
• 38:15
  brand, though. I'm pretty on brand with like
• 38:17
  everybody hates this. I like it.
• 38:20
  You're a little. Contrarian, aren't you?
• 38:21
  Look at me. You're like that New York Times
• 38:24
  opinion guy who's like women were ruined the workplace.
• 38:28
  And I was like, remember? Him, yes, and you said did
• 38:31
  workplace ruin the women? Give us money, lots of money,
• 38:34
  and we'll leave. Yeah, we won't come back.
• 38:37
  And we just don't even have to show.
• 38:39
  Up. I just have to agree.
• 38:40
  Yeah, we did. Yeah.
• 38:41
  Now give us a big severance. Uh huh.
• 38:44
  And we'll leave. I'll and I'll go.
• 38:46
  Sometimes you got to agree 'cause you're like, actually
• 38:48
  this might be good for me. Yeah, totally.
• 38:51
  If they would have done that. Like that one, like that one
• 38:53
  lady in this stupid fucking New York Times opinion interview
• 38:58
  who's like, she's talking about like the feminization of the
• 39:02
  world. And she's like, everything
• 39:04
  that's feminine is bad anyway. That's.
• 39:08
  Cracking me up. I know.
• 39:10
  But anyway, he's the kind of guy who says people think a thing.
• 39:15
  I'm going to say otherwise. And you're kind of I'm.
• 39:21
  Sorry, wait, who's the? Kind of guy.
• 39:22
  Are you talking about rock? Are you talking?
• 39:24
  About, I'm talking about, I'm talking about the New York Times
• 39:26
  opinion article, OK, Like the guy who wrote that article.
• 39:31
  He, he's the type of person that says I want to make people mad
• 39:35
  with this opinion. Yeah, sorry.
• 39:37
  It was a stretch for me to say that you 2 have that in common.
• 39:41
  I think that you just, I think that you are just you're, you're
• 39:44
  a critical thinker. When other people say this thing
• 39:47
  is bad, you say, but why? Yeah, and I love, I love some
• 39:52
  quirky shit and I love a movie with friendship.
• 39:56
  Oh yeah. So it's like if it's put with a
• 40:00
  silly. Background.
• 40:02
  Yeah. Give it to me.
• 40:03
  Right. And none of the movies that I
• 40:05
  could have suggested would have aged well.
• 40:07
  Like I was like, oh, Friday after Next, which did not.
• 40:09
  It's terrible. Yeah.
• 40:11
  Do not watch that. Did I just watch it?
• 40:13
  Yeah. But I get it.
• 40:15
  Don't if you were not ten when it came out.
• 40:18
  You're not gonna get it. Don't.
• 40:21
  Don't watch it. Yeah, unless you wanna see Terry
• 40:23
  Crews. Be very.
• 40:25
  Yeah. Homophobic.
• 40:28
  I don't know. Yeah, Mike Epps was.
• 40:30
  But yeah, all those movies were like bad.
• 40:36
  And I grew up with like 2 boy cousins, so like my mom, yeah.
• 40:39
  Like I was with them a lot. So I'd watch a whole bunch of
• 40:41
  this male humor. Yeah, which was bad.
• 40:48
  Yeah. To this day.
• 40:52
  To this day, yeah. To this day, yeah.
• 40:56
  To this day, yeah. But now I'd like more like, you
• 40:59
  know, I'm a horror girl now. Horror thriller.
• 41:04
  Yeah, yeah, you said I want to be skilled.
• 41:07
  I need to be skilled. I need to be intrigued at least
• 41:10
  I need, I do need my brain like, ooh, I didn't see that coming.
• 41:13
  You need something. To tickle your brain a little
• 41:15
  bit, to say, ooh, that's spicy. This is different.
• 41:17
  I need it to be very different. I need it to be, yeah, like
• 41:21
  almost a foreign film. You're not like other girls.
• 41:23
  I'm. Not I'm not like other girls.
• 41:26
  Yeah, I mean sadate. But you're just, yeah.
• 41:30
  You're quirky. No, but I.
• 41:32
  I'm like no, for I feel OK. I'm a Taurus so I'm very
• 41:35
  artisanal. I'm very like it better be.
• 41:37
  Yeah, better be top notch. Or I hate it.
• 41:40
  Yeah, and this was top notch dumb as the fuck and.
• 41:44
  Yeah, if there's one thing it it is.
• 41:47
  It excels in being the most dumb.
• 41:50
  Very dumb. And.
• 41:52
  It's like as I got older, the Waynes brothers were too dumb
• 41:55
  for me. Yeah, like their shit, like all
• 41:58
  their parodies, which I'm happy that they were able to make
• 42:01
  them. Sure and no.
• 42:03
  Yeah. No, even y'all was talking about
• 42:06
  Adam Sandler. Yeah, no.
• 42:08
  No. Fuck no.
• 42:10
  Will he be doing that little baby voice and shit?
• 42:12
  Absolutely not. I'll slap him for that.
• 42:14
  Yeah, I'm not watching that. Yeah, but like the other, the
• 42:19
  older stuff like Little Nikki and I will watch those high and
• 42:24
  crack up 'cause it's like what? And then like just the stuff
• 42:27
  people are allowed to get away with on TV.
• 42:29
  Yeah. And they were like this, this is
• 42:31
  TV-14. And I was like, this should have
• 42:33
  been rated off. Yeah, absolutely.
• 42:35
  So also the ratings have changed.
• 42:37
  That's. That is 1 big thing that has
• 42:39
  changed is the way that the way that ratings are.
• 42:44
  I don't know, just like our standards for like what is
• 42:46
  appropriate for kids and what's not.
• 42:48
  'Cause I watched a whole bunch of shit and I should've never
• 42:50
  watched Freddie Got Fingered. I watched it again as an adult.
• 42:52
  I was like, why was I watching this?
• 42:54
  What the fuck? All I could remember was, Daddy,
• 42:56
  would you like some sausage? And then I watched the whole
• 42:57
  thing and I was like, oh, there's much more to this movie.
• 42:59
  Yeah, way more than you thought. Tom Green, eh?
• 43:05
  Oh, OK. Every generation.
• 43:08
  Every generation we have one. Yikes.
• 43:12
  Yeah, That's fair. That's.
• 43:13
  Yeah, yeah, I'm like a I'm like a Napoleon Dynamite.
• 43:16
  I'm like a. But everybody should love.
• 43:19
  People love that movie. People do love that movie, yeah.
• 43:22
  I'm like, people like that. I do love that.
• 43:25
  I it is kind of confusing. Like if you were to ask like,
• 43:28
  what is Napoleon Dynamite about? I can't remember.
• 43:31
  Like, I know that she runs. He runs for like class
• 43:33
  president, right? No vote for Pedro.
• 43:36
  Pedro. Pedro's running for.
• 43:38
  It's not even Napoleon. Nope.
• 43:39
  It's just an exploration of a goofy character.
• 43:42
  Yes, a day in the life like we just popped.
• 43:45
  Yeah, that's true. But that's another question is
• 43:49
  like, could Napoleon Dynamite be made today?
• 43:51
  Would anyone care to watch a movie about like some little
• 43:54
  freak a day in the life? I think I would.
• 43:58
  I know you would. Because I do like that it's
• 44:00
  about friendship. Yeah.
• 44:01
  And it's funny. It's dumb.
• 44:03
  It's so dumb. And I would hope so, but I'm not
• 44:08
  going to lie, when I've showed it to younger people, they're
• 44:10
  like, what is this about? And I'm like, shut up.
• 44:13
  So it might have been a very specific, you know, like when
• 44:15
  the kids say 6-7, you're like, I don't know what you're talking
• 44:18
  about, but you know what I'm saying?
• 44:20
  I do. There's some things our brains
• 44:21
  just get and then other generations are like, we're not
• 44:24
  programmed like. That it's just like when you get
• 44:26
  some exposure to something at the exact right moment when your
• 44:31
  brain is craving anything stupid and you say, that's for me.
• 44:37
  I need to watch this. Yeah, OK, answer this for me if
• 44:42
  you if you would. OK.
• 44:44
  Do you think that this movie is like doing exactly what it
• 44:51
  criticizes, which is like the white powerful men exploiting
• 44:58
  the likeness and image of a of like black people, black
• 45:02
  culture? Oh yeah, which is, which is,
• 45:06
  which is why it's funny too, because that's another meta
• 45:08
  aspect. Yeah, because it but also why it
• 45:09
  still is like, oh, this age. Well, because that's still
• 45:11
  happening. It's never going to stop, but
• 45:15
  yeah, yeah. Like if this was made today, but
• 45:19
  it might still be made by a white guy, but a lot of people
• 45:22
  would say, a lot of people would have more to say about it, but
• 45:25
  it still wouldn't, like change the fact that I don't know that
• 45:29
  the people who are making money would be white people.
• 45:31
  Yeah, I'm like, please don't, Don't do it.
• 45:33
  Like the only person I'll feel like, like, didn't Will Ferrell
• 45:36
  make a movie where he was like, speaking Spanish or trying to
• 45:38
  speak Spanish a couple years back?
• 45:41
  We're like. You don't have to do that.
• 45:43
  You. Don't have to be the one to do
• 45:45
  that. Stop.
• 45:45
  Yeah, bad dog. Yeah, you know, you know what
• 45:49
  word works in Spanish and English?
• 45:52
  No. Yeah.
• 45:53
  No, immediately Nacho Libre. See, there was a lot of movies
• 45:56
  where we're like, what are y'all doing?
• 45:58
  Yeah. And I don't know how this
• 46:01
  relates back to the point, but it relates to the point in which
• 46:04
  y'all shouldn't have been making this.
• 46:06
  That's the point, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 46:07
  So yeah, the movie is it claims to be a satire on and is
• 46:14
  criticizing the way that white people like the people who work
• 46:18
  for Lexcorp or whatever. That's what it is, right?
• 46:22
  The way that they steal Pootie's image, his likeness, the way
• 46:26
  that they trust David cross up like him.
• 46:30
  Which one of the one of the funniest examples of blackface
• 46:36
  in film history? And he's just talking.
• 46:40
  And people are like, yeah. Yeah, people are so stupid and I
• 46:43
  love that about people and also that.
• 46:45
  Stupid they are. They're dumb.
• 46:46
  Yeah, but I think there's there's moments like this.
• 46:51
  It's like Tropic Thunder, David Cross and oh, David Cross in
• 46:56
  this movie. It's like, yeah, the they're in
• 46:59
  blackface because their character is supposed to be bad.
• 47:03
  We're laughing at him being in blackface, not saying Oh my God,
• 47:07
  it's so funny because being black is so funny.
• 47:09
  No, no. We're not doing that.
• 47:11
  We're saying. We're saying, oh, people are so
• 47:14
  stupid because they see David Cross pretending to be Pootie
• 47:18
  Tang. And they believe it.
• 47:19
  Trying to talk in Pootie Tang language.
• 47:21
  With the wig. On Oh my God, And we're
• 47:25
  criticizing the white people who have put him in that position.
• 47:30
  We're not saying, oh, my God, I'm so glad that they didn't
• 47:33
  cast a black person to be in that role.
• 47:36
  Thank God they put a white guy in makeup.
• 47:39
  So that's why I'm kind of like, OK, you might think on the
• 47:42
  services, someone said, oh, in this movie you're going to see
• 47:44
  David cross in blackface. I'd say, oh, maybe this won't
• 47:48
  age well, but that part shockingly, age is OK.
• 47:52
  Why would this be OK to do right?
• 47:55
  And nobody's stopping them and nobody's like, that's the point.
• 47:58
  That's the. Point.
• 47:59
  They tried to sell cereal with hot dogs in it.
• 48:01
  Yeah, the what? What is it called?
• 48:04
  It's it's called Tasty Heavy Pork Chunk Cereal.
• 48:10
  Heavy pork chunk. This episode of Did That Age
• 48:14
  Well is brought to you by Tasty Heavy Pork Chunk Cereal.
• 48:17
  Yeah, all the kids love it all. The kids.
• 48:19
  We love you, Pooty. Oh my God.
• 48:21
  That was so it's just, yeah, that shit is.
• 48:24
  That shit is ridiculous. Yeah, they're like, and don't
• 48:27
  drink malt liquor because you don't need it, because you're.
• 48:29
  OK, you're OK. I'm like, I loved that as the
• 48:35
  reason I love that as and don't drink malt liquor because you
• 48:38
  don't need it, because you're OK.
• 48:40
  All right, all right. You're right.
• 48:42
  You're right. Oh man.
• 48:45
  What do you think? Like, what's your favorite part?
• 48:47
  What part do you laugh at the most?
• 48:49
  And Pootie Tang, I do really like the part where he's like
• 48:52
  singing the song and then they're showing people
• 48:54
  responding to it, dancing, and it just gets faster and faster.
• 48:58
  The fastest level cracks me up. Yeah, 'cause I look, I do.
• 49:01
  I do love absurdity, and that's absurd as hell.
• 49:04
  Yeah. I love when he's on like he,
• 49:10
  like, I think he's still on the phone.
• 49:11
  I don't know where he meets Dirty D, but they're doing like
• 49:13
  a Oh yeah. He, he does come to the farm.
• 49:17
  He comes to the farm because he's he's got his belt and he's
• 49:21
  and he's come to. And he think he can beat up
• 49:23
  Pootie now? Yeah, OK, but he cannot.
• 49:27
  Also that he says he hates prison because they make him
• 49:30
  shower. Yeah, 'cause he's dirty T damn
• 49:32
  it, 'cause. He's dirty T.
• 49:34
  He's it's just like a comic book.
• 49:35
  It's like a comic book. It is like a comic book and if
• 49:39
  this was a cartoon he would have like the clouds.
• 49:42
  Of. Dirt coming off of him.
• 49:44
  'Cause he's a villain and he's dirty.
• 49:45
  Yeah, of course. And then they have.
• 49:47
  I don't even know. And his whole crew is dirty too.
• 49:50
  Everyone like his whole entourage.
• 49:52
  Everyone's been rolling in dirt. And then Pooty Tang's like,
• 49:55
  yeah, look at my hair. Yeah, look at my Bing Bing.
• 49:58
  Oh my God. And at this point, you know, the
• 50:00
  Matrix hadn't been out that long, it hadn't been that
• 50:03
  overplayed yet for people to like do the bullet dodging thing
• 50:08
  as a joke. I think that now it's so
• 50:11
  overdone that we're like, OK, but at the.
• 50:15
  Time. Still still pretty fresh for.
• 50:18
  Pootie pretty fresh. Anyway, we're talking about how
• 50:22
  dirty D comes back. To the farm, back to the farm,
• 50:26
  and then they're doing the like the gun.
• 50:29
  Oh my God. It's like they're so close.
• 50:31
  Yeah, man, it see it's just so stupid.
• 50:34
  That cracks me up. Yeah, that part cracks me up.
• 50:37
  Yeah, yeah, and I do love little big Shorty finally gets him too.
• 50:40
  Oh, me too. And I'm just like, look at we
• 50:43
  got Wanda Sykes that just straight.
• 50:45
  Yeah. What a time.
• 50:46
  Oh my God, the way that. She just, I don't know what
• 50:48
  hurt. I don't know if she's just
• 50:49
  entirely lesbian, but I thought I think so.
• 50:51
  I think. I think so, right?
• 50:53
  Yeah. The way that she dances too is
• 50:57
  so bad. It's so funny.
• 50:59
  And then, OK, tangent. Because back to her.
• 51:03
  Yeah, like, you know, she's dancing crazy on the street, and
• 51:07
  then people think she's a prostitute.
• 51:08
  Yeah, she says. Just 'cause I just 'cause I
• 51:11
  dress like this and I like to stand on the the street corner
• 51:16
  and dance that makes you think I'm hooking.
• 51:19
  Which so funny. I thought I thought that was
• 51:22
  funny. But I'm also like, I'm not from
• 51:23
  Chicago. You mean a small town outside of
• 51:26
  Gary, IN? That was.
• 51:29
  Funny, that was good. And I don't even know if I like,
• 51:31
  you know, every time you watch them, I'm like, I don't know if
• 51:33
  I remember them saying this. Yeah, ever.
• 51:36
  That's stupid. But maybe I don't know, some of
• 51:39
  these things were like a shout out to there.
• 51:42
  I don't know, because it was random.
• 51:44
  It was like, why is this happening?
• 51:46
  But black cities are random. True.
• 51:49
  It'd be some fun shit going on, but like, totally what?
• 51:53
  But yeah, totally. But also terrible shit.
• 51:55
  And it's also like, what was she listening to in those little
• 51:58
  headphones? I want to know probably.
• 51:59
  The was she. She was.
• 52:00
  Probably listening to. What did it do Good?
• 52:06
  He's just so stupid. Yeah.
• 52:08
  He's so stupid. Yeah, I need to watch his sketch
• 52:11
  show. That's a fairpoint.
• 52:13
  I do too. I need to watch more than just
• 52:15
  the one sketch that I watched just to see how it all worked,
• 52:19
  you know? I wonder if they continue doing
• 52:21
  this character after the movie came out.
• 52:24
  I don't know. I don't know either 'cause I
• 52:26
  never seen him again in anything.
• 52:28
  Yeah, and that made me sad. Do you like Chris Rock?
• 52:31
  Not for real. OK.
• 52:32
  Like it's like I would watch his stuff and I've watched his
• 52:35
  stuff, but if people are like, oh, or are you going to, I'm
• 52:38
  like, not like a priority. I hate to say it, but his best
• 52:42
  role? Madagascar.
• 52:44
  Who was he in that one? He.
• 52:46
  I think he was the zebra. The Zebra.
• 52:50
  That's fair. I think he's he's a, I'll say
• 52:52
  this sorry. He's a better voice actor than
• 52:56
  regular actor. It as an actor, I don't like him
• 53:00
  that much. Yeah, I'm like, I'm trying to
• 53:02
  like one of the movies that I used to love a lot with him,
• 53:04
  meaning when I was younger was down to earth.
• 53:06
  Do you remember that he like or like somebody dies and then he
• 53:11
  gets in a body? I don't even remember if he dies
• 53:14
  or the white man dies. He gets in a rich body.
• 53:17
  Do they? We should have watched.
• 53:19
  This Yeah, we should have watched that.
• 53:21
  But I did like that movie, but I don't know if I like to see what
• 53:23
  I'm saying. Like I'm just sometimes I am
• 53:25
  just watching the movies. Right.
• 53:28
  So it depends. Yeah, I think that he just, he
• 53:32
  doesn't really do it for me. He's just there.
• 53:34
  He's just there. Everyone else's seek it out.
• 53:36
  Performance like outshined his to me even though he was.
• 53:45
  Doing the most he. Was doing the most but it did
• 53:49
  the least for me. Like, he was Pootie's biggest
• 53:52
  hype man. Yeah, but under his own terms.
• 53:56
  The bit where he's like with that other guy, when he's like
• 53:59
  repeating, when he says, I did not think that was that funny.
• 54:02
  I think. I think it was supposed to be
• 54:04
  the part that I liked the most, and I wasn't.
• 54:07
  That did crack me up because it was just so he's like, I just
• 54:10
  said that because you know your friend that doesn't listen.
• 54:13
  Oh yeah, that's why I was like, we all have friends.
• 54:15
  When he says I hate you, Yeah, like.
• 54:18
  They don't listen, they don't know what's going on.
• 54:20
  Yeah. And you just said it.
• 54:22
  And they like, we love this place.
• 54:23
  You're a bitch. What?
• 54:24
  Yeah. So that's why that I feel like,
• 54:27
  yeah, there's people in my life that represent these characters
• 54:29
  or what? That's true.
• 54:31
  And you're Pootie. I'm Pootie.
• 54:32
  You are? Yeah.
• 54:33
  So who does that make you? I don't know.
• 54:36
  I think, I think it makes me Wanda Sykes, you know, I just, I
• 54:40
  just out here dancing my little dance.
• 54:45
  Right on Colfax. Yeah.
• 54:46
  Biggie baby. And then she just have it like,
• 54:49
  all the little intros too, of like, Oh my God.
• 54:51
  It was just like, what is this movie?
• 54:53
  Yeah. It is, and I think that the
• 54:54
  movie needed that. Like those little introductions,
• 54:58
  like the title cards, all of that was those were the
• 55:02
  additions of studio. Like those weren't in the
• 55:05
  original screenplay, but I think like.
• 55:09
  It did need that I. It needed that.
• 55:11
  We needed to be like introduced to each individual character
• 55:14
  because like, otherwise what the fuck is going on?
• 55:17
  What the fuck is going on? How do you make it a movie?
• 55:19
  Yeah, this is a, this is a, this is a comic book.
• 55:21
  This is a manga. This is, Yeah, something else.
• 55:25
  Which is why it should have been split into 24 episodes that are
• 55:31
  3 to 5 minutes long. Biggie baby.
• 55:34
  Just one is just her. I love it dancing.
• 55:37
  One is just her. Every time I think about you
• 55:39
  saying that and then it makes me think of the loiter squad and
• 55:42
  that's what that makes me think of, like a new age Pootie Tang
• 55:44
  would be these idiots, 'cause that show was idiotic.
• 55:48
  Yeah, crack me up. Absolutely.
• 55:52
  But what? Yeah, What's going on?
• 55:55
  I mean, I just think how? Did y'all even get a show I.
• 55:58
  Know how do they do that? I don't know, just because it's
• 56:02
  just like it was just, it was just so wacky.
• 56:05
  So silly. It was so wacky.
• 56:06
  Yeah. And I just like, I imagine
• 56:10
  trying to pitch that and I can't imagine.
• 56:13
  What is, what is the pitch? What we just doing shit?
• 56:17
  Yeah, we're just. Truly.
• 56:19
  I mean, that's basically OK when Lena Dunham made Girls I.
• 56:23
  Didn't watch that but I heard there was no real.
• 56:27
  Pitch she Yeah she was like five years younger than us yeah she
• 56:35
  is like yeah it's just gonna be a show about these like 4 girls
• 56:40
  and yeah. And it was like.
• 56:44
  And bitch, that's what it was. There's like, we love this,
• 56:48
  Yeah. Did you watch her new show?
• 56:50
  No. Did you?
• 56:51
  No. No, I don't know if I prefer
• 56:55
  Lena Dunham because I learned too much about you.
• 56:57
  I know. Before I got a chance and.
• 56:59
  And then on top of that, it's like I got a chill on how much
• 57:03
  white media consume Completely. Yeah, it gets a little too much.
• 57:07
  Yeah. And I feel like that show
• 57:08
  probably gonna get on my nerves. You, I think, would find girls
• 57:14
  hard to watch. Yeah, I'd be like.
• 57:15
  Most diverse city in the in the US for white girls and their
• 57:22
  weird white boyfriends. And I'm like, OK, back in Denver
• 57:25
  for. Me, here we are here I am at
• 57:26
  home, unfortunately. I need a little break.
• 57:29
  Yeah, I mean, it is. It's a good show, Yeah, but I
• 57:35
  don't think it's one of those shows where I'm like, Oh my God,
• 57:36
  you have to watch it. Yeah, I believe that.
• 57:38
  I do believe that. I don't.
• 57:41
  You know, you know who did a lot better?
• 57:43
  Issa Rae. Issa Rae did way better saying
• 57:46
  I'm going to make a show about people doing shit.
• 57:50
  I watch that show from the top right now.
• 57:53
  I watch every single episode. You did?
• 57:55
  No, I would like. If you were like, if I was like,
• 57:59
  we're gonna, you know, cut the tape.
• 58:00
  Let's watch. Let's do something else.
• 58:02
  Oh, my God, I love. I love.
• 58:04
  Insecure. Are you talking about insecure?
• 58:05
  Of course I am, yeah. I'm like, I would definitely
• 58:08
  tell people to watch that. Oh my God, yeah.
• 58:09
  When when people tell me they haven't watched it, I do that
• 58:12
  annoying thing where I'm like, well, if you haven't watched you
• 58:14
  guys start like what the fuck do you want my HBO Max password?
• 58:17
  Like do you need? Like do you?
• 58:19
  Can I help you like you need? To watch it, can I help you?
• 58:22
  Can I help you? Yeah, that one's a classic.
• 58:24
  Oh my God. Media classic.
• 58:26
  She stopped it at a good point. It was proud of that.
• 58:29
  That's how you end a show. That is how you end a fucking.
• 58:32
  Show there's not too many shows with good endings.
• 58:35
  That's exactly right. Yeah, she knew exactly how to
• 58:38
  wrap it up. That's a good ending. 6 Feet
• 58:41
  Under has a good ending. I've never seen it.
• 58:43
  That's a good that's it's about death.
• 58:45
  It depends on what, Yeah. Depends on if you like that.
• 58:48
  Yeah, I sometimes I look at my shells and I'm like Chanel
• 58:50
  these. And you say, are you OK?
• 58:53
  Why do I always got to be? Why somebody else got to be
• 58:55
  jumping out of closet? Why can't I just laugh?
• 58:58
  'Cause you got to live a little, you got to feel.
• 59:00
  That's how calm my life is right now.
• 59:02
  Yeah. I'm like I need to.
• 59:03
  Watch, that's how chilled, that's how chilled out you are
• 59:05
  is that you need something to go.
• 59:07
  Yeah, sometimes lifetime gets me.
• 59:09
  I'm like, all right, yeah, chill out.
• 59:11
  Yeah. Just.
• 59:13
  Please I get it. What else do we need to talk
• 59:18
  about with this movie, with Pootie Tang?
• 59:21
  I mean, God, what? What else is there to say about
• 59:24
  a movie with a hero who speaks in gibberish and everyone
• 59:29
  understands it and he is just kind of an icon?
• 59:32
  They know what he means. They know what he means.
• 59:35
  I think today, like if Pootie it obviously the movie, you had to
• 59:40
  be different. But if Pootie came out today,
• 59:41
  he'd be like a neurodivergent hero.
• 59:43
  Absolutely, yeah. Which is why I think it works as
• 59:46
  a comic book. If this came out as a comic book
• 59:49
  today, people would be like a new comic book with a hero.
• 59:55
  Neurodivergent Hero has been released.
• 59:58
  Yeah, and we would love it. He's black.
• 1:00:01
  He's a person of color. Yes, we will love it.
• 1:00:05
  And on top of that, it's like it, it would be random, but I
• 1:00:07
  feel like that would be OK in a comic book.
• 1:00:10
  Yeah, it's like, oh, his dad's corn, but this is a comic book.
• 1:00:14
  Yeah, it's a comic book for Stoner young adults.
• 1:00:18
  Yes. That's you know, what do you
• 1:00:20
  think of this movie was made for Stoner young adults?
• 1:00:24
  Yeah, I think a lot of the movies I liked, even though I
• 1:00:26
  wasn't a Stoner for a long time, are for stoners.
• 1:00:29
  I think you were kind of Stoner in your heart.
• 1:00:30
  Yeah. Before you were.
• 1:00:32
  Before you were up here. What?
• 1:00:33
  Was I going through 'cause I watched those all day long?
• 1:00:38
  Absolutely. I used to watch Pootie Tang
• 1:00:39
  every day. I used to watch Good Burger.
• 1:00:41
  Oh my God, I love that movie. Welcome to Good Burger.
• 1:00:45
  Hung on the Good Burger. Can I take your order next time?
• 1:00:47
  Great girls, boy. OK, I was actually so Nick and I
• 1:00:50
  were going to do that, but when we ended up doing Little Nicky,
• 1:00:52
  we're going to do Good Burger. But it was right after that
• 1:00:55
  documentary came out about the Nickelodeon kids, and we said,
• 1:00:59
  oh. Let's live soon.
• 1:01:01
  This is a little too dark right now, yeah.
• 1:01:03
  But now I feel like, I mean, yeah, those kids were still
• 1:01:06
  like, molested and like, mistreated and stuff.
• 1:01:08
  But I do think we can talk about Good Burger without it being as
• 1:01:12
  like, you know. Yeah, it's been some time.
• 1:01:16
  There's been some time for Nickelodeon to not be mainly in
• 1:01:21
  the cultural conversation as Zano that.
• 1:01:25
  And it's weird because it's like, there's layers, you know,
• 1:01:31
  to everything, of course. And it's like, I guess it's this
• 1:01:34
  weird thing of like, you know, we still see Keenan all the time
• 1:01:37
  and he's like, I don't really got nothing to say about that.
• 1:01:39
  So it's like, what's going on? I know.
• 1:01:41
  And then it's just like, put on the girls, the women now they're
• 1:01:44
  women. They are women.
• 1:01:45
  Yeah. So it's just like, I feel like
• 1:01:48
  there's certain things people will be like, oh, we can still
• 1:01:50
  watch that because he wasn't. And it.
• 1:01:51
  That's not necessarily true. Yeah.
• 1:01:53
  But I'm happy that y'all were thoughtful like that, you know?
• 1:01:56
  Yeah. And The thing is, like with Good
• 1:02:01
  Burger specifically, and you know what I'll say with Pootie
• 1:02:04
  Tang too, maybe I shouldn't be the one to say this, but I'm
• 1:02:07
  going to say it. I feel like even though the
• 1:02:10
  people behind the movie were predatory white guys, it did
• 1:02:18
  give like it gave young black men really cool and funny roles
• 1:02:25
  to play. Even if in the case of Pootie
• 1:02:28
  Tang, people didn't see it that way.
• 1:02:30
  People didn't like, Even though people didn't like it, from my
• 1:02:34
  perspective, I'm like OK like Kenan Kel and Good Burger,
• 1:02:37
  hilarious characters, Amazing. Helped Keenan launch his career.
• 1:02:42
  Incredible. For Pootie Tang, you know, it's
• 1:02:47
  not like Chris Rock needed this for his career.
• 1:02:50
  That other guy wasn't anything else, you know, like this.
• 1:02:54
  This wasn't like a, you know it was.
• 1:02:56
  Just a bunch of big names. It was like friends.
• 1:02:59
  Exactly. It was like a bunch of friends
• 1:03:01
  who were in a movie. Did it do anything good for
• 1:03:03
  their career? No.
• 1:03:05
  But it's still, I mean, I guess, yeah.
• 1:03:10
  I don't know. I'm kind of losing my argument
• 1:03:12
  here. So my argument was going to be
• 1:03:13
  like, oh, it gave like really cool black entertainers a
• 1:03:19
  platform to play hilarious characters.
• 1:03:23
  But if people hated the movie anyway.
• 1:03:28
  Then yeah, because I was like 4. It's like, that was just like,
• 1:03:32
  they're like, oh, Jennifer goes, oh, oh, Wanda Sykes, oh JB's.
• 1:03:35
  Like they literally just was like, Oh my friends, come on.
• 1:03:38
  Exactly. And so it's like, see, that's
• 1:03:40
  The thing is that's like this movie might have done terrible,
• 1:03:43
  but these actors within it, even in Good Burger, like they did a
• 1:03:46
  great job. Yeah.
• 1:03:48
  They did a great job portraying this world and taking us to this
• 1:03:51
  space, right? Except for Chris Rock, who I
• 1:03:53
  didn't really. Yeah, you didn't, but you
• 1:03:54
  didn't. But like there's other than that
• 1:03:56
  I was going to be 1. Other other than that, I thought
• 1:03:59
  everyone really clocked in for work.
• 1:04:01
  Yeah, they really did. Chris Rock was just.
• 1:04:03
  He's stressed. He's just.
• 1:04:04
  Like yelling. He's got a lot.
• 1:04:06
  Yeah, exactly. He's just.
• 1:04:07
  Like. Which is fine when you're a
• 1:04:11
  voice actor playing a zebra and Madagascar.
• 1:04:13
  'Cause that's what people expect from him.
• 1:04:15
  Absolutely. I know I got that almost
• 1:04:16
  confused. I was like, oh, the donkey and
• 1:04:18
  Shrek. No, it's Eddie Murphy.
• 1:04:21
  I love the donkey and Shrek. Of.
• 1:04:23
  Course, yeah. I mean, I love Madagascar, but
• 1:04:25
  that's not that's a little past my time.
• 1:04:27
  Same. Yeah, so that's why I was like,
• 1:04:29
  which one is he? But yeah.
• 1:04:34
  What's your favorite movie that you just recently seen?
• 1:04:36
  Oh oh that's a good question. I watched this movie called
• 1:04:43
  Sentimental Value at the Denver Film Festival.
• 1:04:47
  It's really good. Highly recommend Sentimental.
• 1:04:51
  Value. It sounds like it's gonna make
• 1:04:52
  me cry. It will get ready to get your
• 1:04:56
  heart. Wrecked.
• 1:04:58
  So you might. So you might not actually wanna
• 1:05:01
  watch that. You actually might not.
• 1:05:03
  I might. Is it love?
• 1:05:05
  What is it? It's family.
• 1:05:07
  OK. Yeah.
• 1:05:10
  So if things are tough, especially with if you have a
• 1:05:14
  dead mom or you have a bad relationship with your dad, I
• 1:05:16
  would say it's pretty tough to watch.
• 1:05:18
  Yeah. Do you have either of those?
• 1:05:21
  You don't have to. You don't have to talk about it.
• 1:05:22
  I mean, I'm estranged from my parents.
• 1:05:24
  So basically. So they're both dead and dead to
• 1:05:28
  you and problematic. So yeah, maybe don't watch it.
• 1:05:32
  I'll watch, OK? Or if you really want to, if
• 1:05:35
  you're like, you know what, I just want to feel something.
• 1:05:38
  Put it on. Deep in my heart, you can put it
• 1:05:40
  on. As long as it's good.
• 1:05:42
  I just need a good like you're saying I need something.
• 1:05:44
  Yeah. To grasp onto.
• 1:05:46
  You know, I just watched something a couple of days ago
• 1:05:50
  that I was like, God, that was so good and what was it?
• 1:05:52
  It wasn't Pootie Tang, which of course I did watch and say I
• 1:05:55
  didn't hate it. Every time, like I used to be at
• 1:06:00
  college, I used to be like, that's my favorite movie.
• 1:06:02
  And people would crack up. Yeah.
• 1:06:04
  They'd be like, Chanel, you're so goofy.
• 1:06:06
  Yeah. And I was just being myself.
• 1:06:10
  OK, Speaking of Adam Sandler, the movie that I watched
• 1:06:12
  recently that I really liked was Leo with Adam Sandler.
• 1:06:16
  Oh, with the? With the with the he's a class
• 1:06:19
  pet. He's a, he's a lizard or
• 1:06:24
  something. OK and and critics didn't like
• 1:06:28
  it, but I watched it, I loved it.
• 1:06:31
  I. Kind of.
• 1:06:31
  I don't know if I've seen this one.
• 1:06:33
  Does he get loose? Does he have big eyes?
• 1:06:35
  Yeah, he's got, he's got big eyes.
• 1:06:37
  I don't know if I finished that one.
• 1:06:38
  You know what, it came on 'cause I, I was watching Chicken Run
• 1:06:42
  with with a friend and then the suggested movie afterward was
• 1:06:45
  Leo. And he was like, Oh my God, like
• 1:06:48
  Leo's so good, you should watch it.
• 1:06:51
  And so we did. I loved.
• 1:06:52
  It that's what I'm saying. I just need it to be good,
• 1:06:55
  otherwise I'm going to have to watch a horror.
• 1:06:57
  I need something. Yeah.
• 1:06:59
  You know, like, yeah, yeah. I'm like, I just watched Paul
• 1:07:04
  with the alien, you know, they. Oh, yeah, that was funny.
• 1:07:07
  Nice. I was like, this is cute.
• 1:07:08
  Yeah. But the movie I probably like to
• 1:07:11
  share that people had mixed feelings about was him.
• 1:07:13
  I really liked him. Oh, I never saw him.
• 1:07:16
  I like that movie a lot. I like that movie a lot.
• 1:07:19
  It was a goodie. OK.
• 1:07:20
  Is there anything else that that you recommend for the for the
• 1:07:23
  people? To watch to watch.
• 1:07:26
  That you've watched recently that you liked?
• 1:07:27
  I think the people should watch. Yeah, the old lady in the old
• 1:07:30
  lady in the knife. OK, I watched that and it was
• 1:07:34
  completely in its original language, which I think was
• 1:07:38
  Korean. I'm not sure.
• 1:07:39
  Cool. And I didn't have any subtitles
• 1:07:41
  but it was good. You didn't have any subtitles?
• 1:07:43
  No. You just watch.
• 1:07:44
  I just watched it. Good for you.
• 1:07:46
  Yeah, Because I was like, I'm gonna get the point, like you
• 1:07:48
  said. Like I'm gonna.
• 1:07:50
  Get It's like Pootie Tang. You might not know what he's
• 1:07:51
  saying, but you know what? He means.
• 1:07:52
  I know what it means. You know what it means.
• 1:07:54
  You know, yeah. So yeah, I would definitely say
• 1:07:58
  watch him. I would definitely say watch
• 1:08:01
  man. I watched the Longest walk, The
• 1:08:03
  Long Walk. The Long Walk.
• 1:08:05
  It was based off a Stephen King book.
• 1:08:06
  That was Sadie, that was sad. That made me cry.
• 1:08:09
  You wanted it to be scary and it said instead it made you sad.
• 1:08:12
  Yeah, I was like, this is dystopian and too close, like a
• 1:08:15
  lot of dystopian movies are like.
• 1:08:17
  Hey, this is close to home. Not now. 28 years later, I was
• 1:08:20
  like, me, I'm back. OK, OK, OK.
• 1:08:23
  I just been watching. I've been watching a lot of
• 1:08:24
  them. Watch everything.
• 1:08:25
  I think people should watch, watch.
• 1:08:27
  Everything. Everything.
• 1:08:28
  Yeah. Except for what was the one that
• 1:08:31
  you were talking about earlier that you were like, don't watch
• 1:08:33
  that. What did I say?
• 1:08:36
  Oh, Friday after next. Oh yeah, you don't have to watch
• 1:08:38
  that. Everything else, go ahead and
• 1:08:40
  watch it. That's my favorite Christmas
• 1:08:41
  movie though, yeah. So tis the season.
• 1:08:44
  But if you're offended easily, absolutely not.
• 1:08:47
  Yeah, you got to have thick skin.
• 1:08:48
  For and you got to realize that was made in 2002, yeah.
• 1:08:51
  And so during that time, it was state-of-the-art and it was
• 1:08:54
  appropriate and now it's not. And now it's not, and we're
• 1:08:57
  coming. We're brave to say that.
• 1:08:59
  Yeah, I just have to be real. It's like, you know, there's a
• 1:09:02
  time. Yeah, 400 years ago, slavery was
• 1:09:05
  state-of-the-art. Now it's not.
• 1:09:10
  And now it's not. So it's like you just got to be
• 1:09:12
  real about like at a time people were like, this is great, this
• 1:09:15
  is what we're doing. Totally.
• 1:09:17
  It's not. It's not anymore.
• 1:09:18
  It's not it's. So it's not going to be a
• 1:09:20
  template for how we behave. Absolutely not.
• 1:09:23
  No, no, no. And I don't even know if Gen.
• 1:09:26
  ZI don't know what Gen. Z or any of the young UNS.
• 1:09:29
  Yeah, I don't know what y'all find funny.
• 1:09:32
  Yeah, 67. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:34
  I watch YouTube a lot. I don't.
• 1:09:36
  That's why honestly. OK again, let me just say Pootie
• 1:09:41
  Tang works better as a sketch. Maybe the young people would
• 1:09:44
  like it if they saw it on YouTube or?
• 1:09:47
  If. They saw it in the real Yeah and
• 1:09:50
  Little. Little snippets, little
• 1:09:52
  snippets. It works better as a sketch than
• 1:09:54
  it does this. Feature little Instagram show.
• 1:09:56
  Yeah. Yeah, I would like that.
• 1:09:58
  I'd like that. Yeah.
• 1:09:59
  Or as a comic book, I think either one I would like.
• 1:10:02
  Yeah. Like if I read that comic book
• 1:10:03
  and it was like, this is from somewhere else in the world, I'd
• 1:10:08
  be like, this makes sense. Yeah.
• 1:10:11
  But I guess it it makes sense it's from America too.
• 1:10:14
  Right, the commentary on like, American films again, we're too
• 1:10:18
  young. We're too cute.
• 1:10:20
  To really understand what the what the original source
• 1:10:23
  material material is for the satire.
• 1:10:26
  What am IA? What am IA Scholar No.
• 1:10:29
  Yeah, 'cause I haven't watched that many blaxploitation films,
• 1:10:32
  but I know their, I know their point.
• 1:10:34
  Yeah, but it also is like it's very loose.
• 1:10:36
  Yeah, like and like they haven't even made one since what, like
• 1:10:39
  shaft? Yeah, right.
• 1:10:42
  The like late 90s. I was trying to see if they were
• 1:10:45
  trying. To like in the news.
• 1:10:46
  But I don't it was like a period of time.
• 1:10:48
  Yeah, but it's like if you if you watch Pootie Tang for the
• 1:10:54
  first time now and you're a young person, do you still get
• 1:10:58
  it? Probably not.
• 1:11:00
  No. Because you could get like.
• 1:11:04
  Just what's happening? Yeah, it's very like this face
• 1:11:07
  value unless you're, you know, unless you're a real, you know.
• 1:11:12
  Very likely of capitalism. You know that stuff, you know
• 1:11:15
  you know. Capitalism.
• 1:11:16
  You know, goofy little joke. Yeah, you probably have to smoke
• 1:11:19
  some weed. You know, you know, like.
• 1:11:21
  But you're not going to know, you know, like people aren't
• 1:11:25
  going to know 6-7 one day. That's true.
• 1:11:28
  And people will be like, why? That's my main Gen.
• 1:11:30
  Z. That's Gen. alpha.
• 1:11:31
  I don't even know which generation that is.
• 1:11:33
  Oh my God, I actually don't know.
• 1:11:35
  Either I'm just on TikTok. It's so tough.
• 1:11:39
  I was on the bus knowing and like 300 high schoolers got on.
• 1:11:42

  myself. I don't actually know, like who
• 1:13:50
  Mr. Beast is or what he does. I had to look him up.
• 1:13:52

  perfect age, actually. Yes.
