Speaker 1: It's twenty twenty six and we have a new futuristic discovery. Ryan.
0:06
Speaker 1: Today's episode is brought to you by Lunar Grace Mysteries.
0:09
Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, Pastor Rich fell to calling unlike any other.
0:13
Speaker 1: After years of prayer, fasting, and private revelation, he undertook
0:18
Speaker 1: a journey few have ever dared, traveling beyond Earth itself,
0:22
Speaker 1: and in twenty twenty five, Pastor Rich finally, after all
0:25
Speaker 1: his preparation, went to the Moon. While there, he discovered
0:28
Speaker 1: something extraordinary. Naturally occurring moon crystals formed in complete silence,
0:34
Speaker 1: untouched by sin, time or earthly corruption. According to Pastor Rich,
0:38
Speaker 1: these crystals carry a unique vibrational energy capable of restoring
0:42
Speaker 1: the body, clarifying the mind, and strengthening the spirit. Each
0:47
Speaker 1: Lunar Grace crystal is hand retrieved prayer, blessed by Pastor Rich,
0:52
Speaker 1: and never replicated. People have reported relief from chronic pain,
0:55
Speaker 1: emotional burdens, lifting in a renewed sense of purpose after
0:58
Speaker 1: holding just one more crystal for one minute. Supplies are
1:02
Speaker 1: extremely limited. Once they're gone, they're gone, because Pastor Rich
1:06
Speaker 1: can't simply return to the Moon whenever he wants visit
1:09
Speaker 1: Lunar Grace Ministries dot com to learn more, read testimonies
1:13
Speaker 1: and see if the moon crystal is right for you.
1:16
Speaker 1: It is. Lunar Grace Ministry is healing from above.
1:31
Speaker 2: Talking always like a fast food feed of culture chaos,
1:35
Speaker 2: and you saved me.
1:38
Speaker 1: All right, we're back. Hey Ryan hate Tim? You just
1:52
Speaker 1: said a question.
1:53
Speaker 3: Question about the last we heard the moon crystals? Yeah? Yeah,
1:57
Speaker 3: so uncrupted by Earth? If you bring them to Earth
2:01
Speaker 3: and people touch them, is that corrupted by earth? Like?
2:04
Speaker 3: How does that work?
2:04
Speaker 1: Well? The spirituality from the moon crystals. I'm speculating here.
2:09
Speaker 1: I don't know the science.
2:10
Speaker 3: Okay, it would be He's not pretty convinced.
2:13
Speaker 1: Was absorbed by the person, and then the moon crystal
2:17
Speaker 1: would then be corrupted no longer work. That's why I'd
2:19
Speaker 1: have to purchase another one, but one, you know, session
2:24
Speaker 1: like pastor when passer Rich gives you the moon crystal
2:27
Speaker 1: has not yet been corupted. Tan't your question?
2:31
Speaker 3: Yep?
2:32
Speaker 1: Okay? It is twenty twenty six and I want to
2:34
Speaker 1: start with a listener email. Oh wow, this is from
2:38
Speaker 1: a longtime listener Joe Schlob.
2:40
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I would does stone break? He's crazy?
2:43
Speaker 1: He wrote, Hey, Tim, I think Ryan has been trying
2:45
Speaker 1: to overshadow you in the pod. I noticed in twenty
2:47
Speaker 1: twenty five you let the dog off the leash a
2:50
Speaker 1: little bit. Time to pull the leash back or put
2:53
Speaker 1: the mangy dog down. He's challenging you, and if you
2:56
Speaker 1: had any balls, you wouldn't stand for it. Wow. Well, Joe,
3:00
Speaker 1: I happen to totally agree. I think that in twenty
3:03
Speaker 1: twenty six you need to take more of a backseat.
3:05
Speaker 3: I mean I got your text on New Year's Eve
3:08
Speaker 3: about your resolutions, and number three was less Ryan, so short.
3:13
Speaker 1: I wrote, more pause, but less Ryan, Like, how is
3:15
Speaker 1: that possible?
3:17
Speaker 3: How is that possible? I mean this, I mean this.
3:20
Speaker 3: You didn't you really haven't finished Great Gatsby. There's plenty
3:22
Speaker 3: of books to read live on the pod.
3:24
Speaker 1: I mean I still got to finish Great Gatsby. Yeah,
3:26
Speaker 1: we'll save that for April first, A long time four
3:31
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty six in the future, A new
3:34
Speaker 1: year with new possibilities. Yeah, and I wanted to start
3:38
Speaker 1: the year on the right note, and that is with
3:40
Speaker 1: Gremlins two. Yeah, Gremlins to the New Batch, because new Year,
3:45
Speaker 1: New Batch, New year, New Batch. This movie we talked
3:48
Speaker 1: about how insane Gremlins is. Yes, this movie is so
3:51
Speaker 1: insane that Keane Peel did a sketch about it.
3:54
Speaker 3: Yeah.
3:55
Speaker 1: So for those of you who aren't familiar with this
3:57
Speaker 1: movie or the King's Peel sketch, I'm actually in the description.
4:00
Speaker 1: I'm got up with the YouTube link for the keys
4:02
Speaker 1: Peel sketch so you can understand it. It's like, basically
4:06
Speaker 1: like Key is playing like noor Is appeal. He's been
4:11
Speaker 1: like cocobee ware. Basically, yes, yes, Jordan, yeah, yeah, Jordan Peele,
4:16
Speaker 1: and he is pitching. It's like sort of the production
4:20
Speaker 1: writer's room for Grumlins too, because as we get into
4:24
Speaker 1: as we'll get into it, this movie had a rare,
4:29
Speaker 1: very very rare situation where essentially, so let's just talk
4:32
Speaker 1: about the budget and profit. I saw that the budget
4:35
Speaker 1: was fifty million dollars and it made forty two million dollars,
4:39
Speaker 1: so it's a box office disaster. But I guess what
4:44
Speaker 1: year was this again?
4:45
Speaker 3: This is nineteen ninety this movie came out, and what
4:47
Speaker 3: year was Gremlins eighty four?
4:49
Speaker 1: So it was six years So I wanted to read
4:51
Speaker 1: some trivia. This is from Wikipedia. This is the history
4:54
Speaker 1: of this movie. The original Gremlins was financial success, and
4:57
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers asked this director, Joe Dante, to make a
5:00
Speaker 1: sequel right away. Dante declined because he saw Gremlins as
5:03
Speaker 1: having a proper ending, and thus the sequel would only
5:06
Speaker 1: be meant to make profit. Moreover, the original film was
5:09
Speaker 1: a taxing experience for Dante and he wanted to move
5:12
Speaker 1: on from Gremlins. Work on Gremlins two continued without him.
5:15
Speaker 1: As a studio approach, various directors and writers. Storylines considered,
5:19
Speaker 1: including sending Gremlins to cities like Las Vegas or even
5:24
Speaker 1: the planet Mars. After these ideas all fell through, the
5:28
Speaker 1: studio returned to Dante, who agreed to make the sequel
5:33
Speaker 1: after receiving the rare promise from the studio of having
5:37
Speaker 1: one hundred percent complete creative control over the movie. Great move,
5:43
Speaker 1: that's what he negotiated. In his contrast, and for those
5:46
Speaker 1: that don't know, like this doesn't happen ever, ever, studios
5:53
Speaker 1: do not give any director a complete final edit and
5:58
Speaker 1: say control. But they were so desperate for Dante, he
6:02
Speaker 1: didn't even want money, Like I'm sure he did want money,
6:05
Speaker 1: but that's what he negotiated and he was given triple
6:09
Speaker 1: the original budget of Gremlins one.
6:11
Speaker 3: Why not fuck it?
6:13
Speaker 1: Yeah? With more control over the film, Dante engineered project
6:17
Speaker 1: that he later referred to as one of the more
6:20
Speaker 1: unconventional studio pictures ever. He includes material that he believed
6:24
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers would never have allowed had they not wanted
6:27
Speaker 1: a sequel to Gremlins. He was allowed to break a
6:29
Speaker 1: number of filmmaking rules. He also later claimed it was
6:32
Speaker 1: the film into which he had the most personal influence.
6:37
Speaker 1: Dante envisioned Gremlins two as the satire of Gremlins and
6:41
Speaker 1: all sequels.
6:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's all.
6:45
Speaker 1: There and one thing. This is part of the movie,
6:48
Speaker 1: but I wanted to mention it. At one point in
6:50
Speaker 1: the film, Dante attempt to involve his audience in the
6:52
Speaker 1: story by making it seem as if the Gremlins had
6:55
Speaker 1: taken control over the movie theater where the film is
6:57
Speaker 1: being shown, and the scene the projector becomes sabotaged by
7:00
Speaker 1: the Gremlins, who engage in shadow puppetry over the blank
7:03
Speaker 1: progression for projection screen before showing the vintage nudy film
7:08
Speaker 1: Volleyball Holiday in the original film's place. The The joke
7:13
Speaker 1: was inspired by a similar stunt in William Castle's The
7:16
Speaker 1: Tingler in Action fifty nine. The studio feared that people
7:19
Speaker 1: might leave the theater if they thought the film had broken.
7:21
Speaker 1: Dante therefore secured the inclusion of the sequence by assembling
7:25
Speaker 1: a preview for the film. When the scene was shown,
7:28
Speaker 1: the real life audience found it enjoyable and stayed in
7:30
Speaker 1: the theater. He said it was one of the most
7:33
Speaker 1: widely enjoyed jokes in the film. However, when the film
7:36
Speaker 1: made his debut on home video, the theatrical version was
7:40
Speaker 1: kept intact for the laser disc release.
7:42
Speaker 3: That's like our.
7:42
Speaker 1: Ryan Footnote, but the VHS release the filmmakers replaced with
7:47
Speaker 1: a different scene to make it seem as if the
7:49
Speaker 1: VCR had been sabotaged by the Gremlins, and this version
7:53
Speaker 1: of the Gremlins do their shadow puppetry over white noise before
7:57
Speaker 1: changing the VCR's channels. The antiqu stuff up at the
8:00
Speaker 1: broadcast of Chisholm, where John Wayne forces the Gremlins to
8:06
Speaker 1: continue the film. Although the voice impersonation was needed because
8:09
Speaker 1: John Wayne died in nineteen seventy nine, the voice actor
8:12
Speaker 1: was recommended by his son. Notably, a clip from Falling
8:16
Speaker 1: Hair in nineteen forty three animated short featuring bugs, bunny
8:19
Speaker 1: and a gremlin appears in the VHS version because I
8:22
Speaker 1: had mentioned in the last episode how there was Looney
8:24
Speaker 1: Tunes about gremlins, yep and all, and this there's also
8:29
Speaker 1: a clip of the local newscast at the time in
8:31
Speaker 1: Little Ark, Arkansas. Uh So in the I was curious
8:36
Speaker 1: in the version that I watched streaming, was it gonna
8:38
Speaker 1: be the theatrical sabotage of the VHS sabotage? And it
8:42
Speaker 1: was the theatrical sabotage.
8:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Blu Ray was the same way.
8:45
Speaker 1: Okay, did the Blu Ray have the VHS.
8:47
Speaker 3: It a deleted scene? You can see the VHS version.
8:50
Speaker 1: Did you watch it? I didn't know, Okay, but yeah,
8:54
Speaker 1: but this is that since everything I just said is completely.
8:57
Speaker 3: Insane, Yeah, which is firs. It's great.
9:01
Speaker 1: So yeah, watch the King before even listening to this episode, like,
9:04
Speaker 1: go watch the keyn Peel sketch, which is in again
9:08
Speaker 1: the episode description. But yeah, I think we should just
9:12
Speaker 1: jump right into it. Unless you had other things you
9:14
Speaker 1: wanted to say about the production.
9:16
Speaker 3: I was actually it made me think of a question
9:18
Speaker 3: because I was it's so bizarre because obviously, like it
9:20
Speaker 3: only been not only it'd been six years, but the
9:23
Speaker 3: fact that it's nineteen ninety yeah, and not obviously like
9:26
Speaker 3: mid eighties, where like things have changed. Watching movies, it
9:30
Speaker 3: made me think a lot about like like when is
9:33
Speaker 3: it the right time and also the wrong time to
9:35
Speaker 3: do a sequel? Like yeah, are you better off? Like
9:39
Speaker 3: like I always thought like the like the Christian Bale
9:43
Speaker 3: Batman movies where it was like oh five, oh wait,
9:47
Speaker 3: twenty twelve were like especially with like Dark Knight into
9:51
Speaker 3: Dark Knight Rises, like you have to wait a considerable
9:55
Speaker 3: amount of time for that kind of play. Its course,
9:57
Speaker 3: the hype of that movie because it's a noomenon, but
10:00
Speaker 3: also not wait too long.
10:02
Speaker 1: Well, I think that that's not true anymore. I think
10:05
Speaker 1: that first of all, like when a movie comes out,
10:07
Speaker 1: you don't know how successful it's gonna be, so it's
10:10
Speaker 1: not necessarily greenlit for a sequel right away. True, So
10:12
Speaker 1: the movie has to come out and then the sequel
10:14
Speaker 1: is greenlit, so then you got a pre production, production
10:18
Speaker 1: and post production and then release the movie. So that's
10:20
Speaker 1: gonna take like three years. But nowadays, if a movie
10:24
Speaker 1: is a success, they green light two sequels or four sequels,
10:28
Speaker 1: and then they film them all consecutively so they can
10:30
Speaker 1: all come out back to back to.
10:31
Speaker 3: Back to back.
10:31
Speaker 1: So I feel like that is broken now. But also
10:34
Speaker 1: it's broken in the sense that everybody's obsessed with nostalgia
10:37
Speaker 1: and the member varies from south Park Remember when you
10:40
Speaker 1: felt safe? So I feel like nowadays it doesn't matter,
10:43
Speaker 1: like you can make there's a Gremlin sequel coming out. Yeah,
10:46
Speaker 1: it's been thirty years. Yeah, so like nobody cares anymore.
10:50
Speaker 3: I think no one cares. But I think like there's
10:51
Speaker 3: an importance to how long you should wait. I think
10:54
Speaker 3: there's a lot of like like especially actually in the
10:58
Speaker 3: eighties and nineties, like especially with horror, like Freddy the
11:02
Speaker 3: Fifth Nightmare, Elm the Street in the Fifth Halloween both
11:06
Speaker 3: came out less than a year after the fourth ones
11:09
Speaker 3: because the fourth ones were huge office successes. Yeah, and
11:12
Speaker 3: it was like, hey, it's only been nine months, Like
11:15
Speaker 3: we haven't even got off of like the fumes of
11:17
Speaker 3: the last one. So people just were like, I'm good,
11:21
Speaker 3: Like they just reject, like there's like I'm good, Like
11:22
Speaker 3: I reject this entirely. Oh yeah, the movie is not
11:25
Speaker 3: as great as the other ones are.
11:26
Speaker 1: Because because if you if you shoot it and release
11:29
Speaker 1: it in nine months, yeah yeah, but uh yeah it's but.
11:34
Speaker 3: Then there's the other like I think it's more interesting.
11:36
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to cut you off. Are you better off
11:39
Speaker 3: being like, you know, we should just do like if
11:40
Speaker 3: we're alive, wait thirty years because like the one I
11:44
Speaker 3: always think of the most where it's like they just
11:46
Speaker 3: timed this so wrong is if you remember this movie
11:50
Speaker 3: came out, which is since Sin City two to Kill four. Yeah,
11:53
Speaker 3: it came out nine years after the first one, so
11:56
Speaker 3: even wait for ten, not saying you have to wait
11:58
Speaker 3: for ten, but yeah, it came out at this time
12:01
Speaker 3: where people like we don't want this or just not
12:03
Speaker 3: interested in this anymore. Yeah, and it just went like
12:05
Speaker 3: I know people who are like they didn't even know
12:07
Speaker 3: that movie came out. Yeah, it's just that that it
12:09
Speaker 3: just completely fell so flat.
12:10
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I saw it and I
12:12
Speaker 1: loved sins City.
12:13
Speaker 3: I work. I saw it in theaters only playing in
12:16
Speaker 3: like the Embassy and Wall of Fam and it's not
12:18
Speaker 3: an independent movie, no, And I was like, wow, it's
12:21
Speaker 3: not great, don't get me wrong, but like, would they
12:23
Speaker 3: have been better off being like, let's wait twenty years
12:26
Speaker 3: because the first one can be its own thing. Not
12:28
Speaker 3: saying it's whatever, but like, obviously that's foresight that I'm
12:32
Speaker 3: being very like judgmental on, but like it is interesting,
12:35
Speaker 3: how like this did not do well? And my thinking
12:38
Speaker 3: was like, obviously, as we go through this, a lot
12:41
Speaker 3: of what it's doing is what a lot of movies
12:44
Speaker 3: do now, and a lot of what it's self consciousness
12:48
Speaker 3: of is really really common, and a lot of stuff
12:51
Speaker 3: now that we watch and see, even things that are
12:53
Speaker 3: not necessarily IP. And I'm curious, like didn't even matter
12:59
Speaker 3: when this came out, because this this most three years later.
13:02
Speaker 3: Would this have still fallen on deafy years or would
13:04
Speaker 3: have been too ridiculous or like because it's the nineties
13:07
Speaker 3: when there's an explosion, or had they waited till like
13:11
Speaker 3: after ninety five, would this had been this same movie
13:15
Speaker 3: been received differently? I don't know.
13:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think that this is this
13:24
Speaker 1: is like an eighties movie that takes place in like
13:28
Speaker 1: a small hometown scenario. And it was like, you know,
13:33
Speaker 1: I think since city I said the rules don't apply anymore,
13:35
Speaker 1: I think the rules apply for a movie like since City,
13:37
Speaker 1: because it's not is universally beloved. Yes, it's Gremlins, Yeah,
13:41
Speaker 1: but for Gremlins, I think that. Yeah, waiting six years
13:45
Speaker 1: was probably too long, but it wasn't. It was too
13:49
Speaker 1: long where like they weren't striking while the iron was hot,
13:52
Speaker 1: but it was too short for it to be a
13:53
Speaker 1: nostalgia play exactly. And Hi Tammy, Hi buddy, Tam, Tam.
14:00
Speaker 1: He's been very aloof recently, so she's just jumped on
14:02
Speaker 1: the table. It's not Chucky for once. But you know,
14:06
Speaker 1: it's so different than the first movie. It takes place
14:09
Speaker 1: in the skyscraper. Oh, Tammy's rubbing against the microphone. Let's
14:12
Speaker 1: not rub against the microphone. I love you.
14:16
Speaker 3: Well, I forgot to say this earlier.
14:18
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we have a surprise drink I forgot about.
14:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I've seen these a lot in stores. I
14:22
Speaker 3: keep forgetting.
14:23
Speaker 1: Need to bring them.
14:24
Speaker 3: But our friends, it's not a buzzball at all. It's
14:32
Speaker 3: our friends at former death Row Records, recording artists Doctor
14:37
Speaker 3: Dray and Snoop Dogg have made their own canned Tammy.
14:42
Speaker 3: She's too excited about this.
14:44
Speaker 1: There's hair all over the microphone.
14:45
Speaker 3: Okay, sorry, Imaginally, the sound is better, Like it's somehow
14:48
Speaker 3: better called gin and juice. I've seen it for a while.
14:53
Speaker 3: I got the citrus. I like the cover or whatever.
14:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do it. I got these It's like the
14:58
Speaker 1: song oh.
14:59
Speaker 3: No hey, but oh.
15:03
Speaker 1: With parental advisory.
15:04
Speaker 3: I like that.
15:05
Speaker 1: And there's a there's a pretty sick car on it, Hi, tam,
15:08
Speaker 1: do you want some gin and juice? Honey, bunny, No no, no,
15:10
Speaker 1: no no no, don't get on your messing up the recording.
15:13
Speaker 1: I love you so much. You're a hefty girl these days, Tam.
15:18
Speaker 1: So it was and you know it takes place in
15:20
Speaker 1: a skyscraper. It's very like sci fi. It's like a
15:23
Speaker 1: slapstick comedy. It's like it's so different and weird.
15:27
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I think like that's like it's
15:29
Speaker 3: it like a lot of sequels, like what do you do? Like?
15:33
Speaker 3: Do you do like just do the same one again,
15:36
Speaker 3: just slightly different? Do you completely change tones and genres?
15:40
Speaker 3: Or like is what people want out of this? What
15:42
Speaker 3: you give them? Like it's a whole different like cheers, cheers,
15:47
Speaker 3: Let's see how this is the feel of this can
15:49
Speaker 3: is very bizarre too. Yeah, Okay, A lot of centrists.
15:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not bad. I don't know, no, no, no, no,
16:00
Speaker 1: oh goodness, gracious, my computer is like checking for Windows
16:04
Speaker 1: updates because Tamy just steps. Fine, I'm gonna have to
16:06
Speaker 1: pause and take care of this. Hold on, we're back.
16:10
Speaker 1: So yeah, anyways, let's let's dive in. Let's do it, okay,
16:16
Speaker 1: And the movie starts, as any movie should start, with
16:20
Speaker 1: a Looney Tunes cartoon short. We talked about this a
16:23
Speaker 1: new Frame Roger Rabbit, but this used to be very
16:26
Speaker 1: common where they would have like a quick cartoon before
16:28
Speaker 1: a movie. And Joe Dante is obviously in this movie
16:32
Speaker 1: and in Gremlins, is a huge fan of going to
16:35
Speaker 1: the theater and like like old school horror movies and
16:40
Speaker 1: a lot of like just history of film references. So
16:43
Speaker 1: this movie starts with a fake short starring Daffy Op
16:48
Speaker 1: Up Up Bye, Tim starring Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny.
16:53
Speaker 1: So why don't you describe what happens here?
16:55
Speaker 3: So Bugs is coming in on the Warner Brothers logo
16:59
Speaker 3: that's zooming in closely to this camera, and Daffy interrupts him,
17:04
Speaker 3: being like, I want to do this, not you, And
17:09
Speaker 3: Daffy's trying to get the Warner Brothers logo to keep
17:11
Speaker 3: coming back into the camera, and he just keeps like
17:13
Speaker 3: doing it wrong. It's too low, it's too high, and
17:19
Speaker 3: he gets frustrated. And I'm guessing that Joe Dante is
17:23
Speaker 3: a very big fan of Daffy because it's like Daffy
17:26
Speaker 3: like outshines Bugs and it's just like, see, I can't
17:30
Speaker 3: get anything that I want, but I want this my way.
17:33
Speaker 3: Whatever he's saying. I also took it as way more
17:36
Speaker 3: of like him being like this movie is mine kind
17:39
Speaker 3: of thing.
17:40
Speaker 1: I well, I've mentioned this on the podcast. Jesus Dammy,
17:43
Speaker 1: Timmy's really making this difficult. I'm pausing. I've mentioned this
17:47
Speaker 1: on the podcast before. There's a rap song called Daffy
17:49
Speaker 1: Was a Black Man by Two Kings in a Cipher,
17:51
Speaker 1: and the message of the song, which I totally agree
17:54
Speaker 1: with I love Daffy, is, first of all, Ducks aren't black,
17:57
Speaker 1: but they got out of the way to make Daffy black.
17:59
Speaker 1: And Bugs and Daffy are like both trickster characters. They're
18:03
Speaker 1: both main characters. They both deal with Omer Fudd and Yosebody,
18:07
Speaker 1: Sam and Sylvester. But the difference is Bugs always gets
18:11
Speaker 1: away with anything he wants to do, and Daffy always
18:13
Speaker 1: gets screwed. So Bugs is the white guy and Daffy's
18:16
Speaker 1: the black guy, and Staffy was a black man. So
18:18
Speaker 1: I always liked Daffy because Daffy always got screwed and
18:21
Speaker 1: he's you know, I like this little moment. But yeah,
18:23
Speaker 1: it didn't really work for me to put this to
18:25
Speaker 1: the beginning of the movie. I'm like, what is this?
18:27
Speaker 3: I mean it dates it at the same time too, because.
18:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and the shop from the original Gremlins in
18:36
Speaker 1: Chinatown is here a man with the one eyes here
18:40
Speaker 1: go ahead.
18:41
Speaker 3: I do love the epic shot of New York City
18:43
Speaker 3: that is like soaring through the air.
18:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there is basically this like huge corporation called
18:52
Speaker 1: what is it claim called Clamp Clamp Clamp Clamp. It
18:56
Speaker 1: wants to buy the building that this the old store
19:00
Speaker 1: is mister, and they go in. Gizmo is singing, I
19:05
Speaker 1: love how mister Clamp, who's like the CEO of the
19:07
Speaker 1: company that wants to buy it. So this this elderly
19:10
Speaker 1: Asian man who owns Gizmo as the last holdout and
19:13
Speaker 1: Clamp really wants to buy this. He's going to offer
19:15
Speaker 1: him like millions of dollars. But he doesn't even bother
19:18
Speaker 1: showing up to the store. He shows up via television.
19:21
Speaker 1: His people bring in a television and he just says like, hey,
19:25
Speaker 1: you know, Gizmo's singing in the background. The elderly Asian
19:29
Speaker 1: owner says, no, I'm not going to sell the store.
19:33
Speaker 3: Where was the kid? I was?
19:34
Speaker 1: I was like, where is the short round? Yeah? Yeah,
19:37
Speaker 1: I know you really missed that kid, that Asian boy.
19:40
Speaker 1: I remember how focus you were on him last time.
19:43
Speaker 1: And they say, well, you know what, the TV that
19:46
Speaker 1: we gave you to broadcast what Clamp wanted to say,
19:49
Speaker 1: you can just keep it And Gizmo starts watching Rambo too,
19:55
Speaker 1: And I thought this was a perfect moment because Rambo
19:58
Speaker 1: First Blood is a great movie. Yeah, and it's about
20:01
Speaker 1: like a drifter who's down on his luck who goes
20:04
Speaker 1: to this town and the sheriff gives him a hard time.
20:06
Speaker 1: The clip they play in Gremlins from Rainbow two, I
20:10
Speaker 1: think it's Rainbow two. It's a Rainbow sequel. It's fly
20:16
Speaker 1: has no shirt on, he's jacked. He has a red
20:19
Speaker 1: bandana and he shoots a bow and arrow at something
20:22
Speaker 1: and it explodes and It's like, this is so dumb
20:26
Speaker 1: indifferent compared to rambo One. And I think Dante's doing
20:30
Speaker 1: that on purpose because this whole movie is supposed to
20:32
Speaker 1: make fun of how stupid sequels are.
20:35
Speaker 3: I'm also curious too, because like they have like this
20:38
Speaker 3: agent going there, the guy mister Forrester, and he leaves
20:44
Speaker 3: because he says, no, I'm not selling out. He leaves
20:48
Speaker 3: and he's like, you heard that, cough, We'll be back
20:50
Speaker 3: here in a few months.
20:51
Speaker 1: Yeah.
20:51
Speaker 3: I'm very intrigued because it then cuts to the clamp building.
20:55
Speaker 3: The clamp building is a little like vice crushing the earth. Yeah, yeah,
21:00
Speaker 3: and just says six weeks later. I was kind of like, well,
21:03
Speaker 3: this movie's made sick. Comes out six years after, like
21:05
Speaker 3: are they doing this on purpose? They the news reports
21:09
Speaker 3: that mister Wing has died. I didn't know he was
21:11
Speaker 3: that big of a local celebrity. Yeah.
21:13
Speaker 1: Well, there's there's some guy who it was like an
21:16
Speaker 1: up situation because Up is about there's a single holdout Carl. Carl.
21:20
Speaker 1: So there's a guy in Florida where they built like
21:23
Speaker 1: a mega resort around his house because he refused to sell.
21:27
Speaker 1: And he's so he's like a celebrity because he yea,
21:30
Speaker 1: he lives in the middle. He is like a residential
21:32
Speaker 1: home and it's literally surrounded on all sides by a
21:35
Speaker 1: mega resort. And then the driveway like goes through the resort,
21:38
Speaker 1: so he could leave and obviously like the resort hates.
21:42
Speaker 3: Him, of course, Yeah, he just won't he won't give in,
21:46
Speaker 3: so he passes away.
21:48
Speaker 1: Gism was very sad.
21:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was tough to watch. He was really sad.
21:51
Speaker 3: And also just like the company just was like, we're
21:54
Speaker 3: gonna leave everything in this store and just destroy it.
21:56
Speaker 1: It just bolts the store with everything inside, including Gizmo.
22:01
Speaker 3: I think I was curious. I'm like, was that meant
22:03
Speaker 3: to be a whole like because where this movie goes?
22:06
Speaker 3: Was that meant to be a whole like comment on
22:08
Speaker 3: like the original Gremlins, where like we don't give a ship,
22:11
Speaker 3: we're bulldozing this thing to redo it. Yes, sorry, So
22:16
Speaker 3: Gizmo is able to escape this giant crane and is
22:22
Speaker 3: in a back alley hiding.
22:24
Speaker 1: Is gim walking. So there's like a couple of effects
22:27
Speaker 1: that look awful in this movie because it's just too old. Yeah,
22:29
Speaker 1: but Gizmo walking looks completely unnatural.
22:31
Speaker 3: I still like it was adorable, and he is found
22:36
Speaker 3: by a scientists will meet later who actually is a famous.
22:43
Speaker 1: Twin from Terminator Too. Yeah, yeah, the twins from Terminator
22:48
Speaker 1: to Day who are killed by and what like. So
22:52
Speaker 1: this guy, this redhead, portly gentleman, is as like was
22:57
Speaker 1: in multiple movies because he has because he's an identical twin,
23:02
Speaker 1: it's not hard to replicate someone, like in the T
23:05
Speaker 1: two scene where the T one thousand turns into somebody
23:09
Speaker 1: and goes up to that person. So like, it's like
23:11
Speaker 1: if somebody if I turned it in to Ryan and
23:13
Speaker 1: went up to Ryan and then the person's like, oh
23:15
Speaker 1: my god, like it's me and then he gets killed.
23:17
Speaker 1: You can easily film that, Like why do you have
23:19
Speaker 1: to hire identical twins for that?
23:20
Speaker 3: I think the idea is that how you sell it
23:22
Speaker 3: without people being like, well you're just cut back and
23:24
Speaker 3: forth is having them in the same shot.
23:28
Speaker 1: Sure, okay, fair enough.
23:30
Speaker 3: Also for the for the for the real heads out there,
23:34
Speaker 3: not the only set of twins inside T Too, Linda
23:37
Speaker 3: Hamilton and her twin.
23:38
Speaker 1: Sister also in that movie not identical identical, they are
23:42
Speaker 1: identical yep.
23:44
Speaker 3: Interesting, Okay, So they show that Billy and Kate still together,
23:51
Speaker 3: have moved to NYC, not married yet, not married yet
23:54
Speaker 3: or walking to work. I think I always love. We
23:58
Speaker 3: talked about this before when like eighties movies like Portray
24:01
Speaker 3: in New York is just like everyone's out to murder you. Yes,
24:05
Speaker 3: Kate specifically is shoved fifteen times in this opening like.
24:09
Speaker 1: Somebody body an adult man like body checks Kate just
24:12
Speaker 1: walking on the sidewalk.
24:13
Speaker 3: I love when she goes into the building, a guy
24:14
Speaker 3: goes out of his way to push her out of
24:16
Speaker 3: the way. I was like, so deranged.
24:19
Speaker 1: The introduction of Billy in this movie identical to Gremlins one.
24:23
Speaker 1: He is crossing the street and in.
24:25
Speaker 3: The background I did not pick up on that both.
24:28
Speaker 1: The background is a burg crossing the street.
24:31
Speaker 3: I completely failed.
24:33
Speaker 1: The Flutterman's are alive.
24:35
Speaker 3: So they they mentioned that he took a while to
24:38
Speaker 3: get rip to get fixed. But somehow they're both alive.
24:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they were the couple where the Gremlins drove
24:44
Speaker 1: a plow through their home, through their home into them,
24:47
Speaker 1: into them and killed them. Yes, but they're alive in
24:49
Speaker 1: this movie. Who cares because Dante probably just really liked
24:53
Speaker 1: that actor.
24:53
Speaker 3: There's noways been almost everything, everything he's done. Okay, yeah, yeah,
24:58
Speaker 3: so they is working as like a conceptual architectural designer.
25:03
Speaker 1: Oh, I just take a moment, just shit all over
25:05
Speaker 1: cab drivers. Yeah, and when all the cab drivers were
25:07
Speaker 1: going on strike and what boohooing about Uber running them
25:11
Speaker 1: out of business. I have no sympathy for the cab
25:14
Speaker 1: industry because there's a moment in this movie in the
25:16
Speaker 1: beginning of this movie where Kates like, we need to
25:20
Speaker 1: get a cab, and they flagged down a cab and
25:21
Speaker 1: this guy pulls up and he goes, oh, are you
25:23
Speaker 1: going to the airport, And then Kate says, no, I'm not,
25:25
Speaker 1: and he goes and then drives away. So cab driver
25:29
Speaker 1: is always rude, CAB's always disgusting, and throughout my entire
25:33
Speaker 1: fucking life until Uber came out, I would be two
25:36
Speaker 1: in the morning and downtown Boston you cannot find a cab.
25:39
Speaker 1: I would be desperately trying to find one. Finally I
25:41
Speaker 1: would wave a guy down and we would get in
25:44
Speaker 1: the cab and we would say we're going, Me and
25:46
Speaker 1: my roommate. We would say we're going to Somerville. He goes, no, No,
25:49
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to Somerville, get out of
25:50
Speaker 1: my car, and my roommate was a cab driver. Chris
25:53
Speaker 1: was a cab driver Martha's vineyard. Wow, he goes, that
25:55
Speaker 1: is illegal in the state of Massachusetts. So we get
25:58
Speaker 1: in the car you have to take to where we're going,
26:00
Speaker 1: and he goes, call the cops. Get out of my car. So,
26:03
Speaker 1: you know what, fuck all the cab drivers, Like, I'm
26:06
Speaker 1: glad they went out of business. No sympathy for an
26:10
Speaker 1: industry that just doesn't give a shit about their customers
26:13
Speaker 1: and then winds when we look for an alternative option.
26:15
Speaker 3: And also super expensive, super.
26:17
Speaker 1: Expensive, super expensive.
26:19
Speaker 3: Anyways, go ahead, So we just found ot that Billy
26:22
Speaker 3: has been working as a architectural conceptual designer and Kate
26:26
Speaker 3: is a page in the building of the Clamp Building. Yes,
26:29
Speaker 3: so we should describe the Clamp Building. Seems to be
26:32
Speaker 3: an entire city in one building.
26:34
Speaker 1: The building is entirely AI.
26:36
Speaker 3: Yes, very topical.
26:39
Speaker 1: It's voice activated, it's AI. You go into the bathroom
26:42
Speaker 1: and it says like, welcome into the bathroom. How are
26:44
Speaker 1: you doing today? Like, yeah, you talk to the elevator,
26:47
Speaker 1: you say, elevator up. I'm going to floor thirty and
26:49
Speaker 1: it says like okay, take okay, Kate, taking you to
26:52
Speaker 1: four thirty.
26:53
Speaker 3: It has literally like everything in terms of like restaurants,
26:57
Speaker 3: doctors' offices, the actual business itself, absolutely everything, and.
27:00
Speaker 1: That's kind of common nowadays. Like when we both work
27:03
Speaker 1: for Liberty Mutual, which we don't anymore. We worked in
27:06
Speaker 1: a twenty one story skyscraper and had cafeteria a different
27:12
Speaker 1: like convenience store food section. It had a doctor's office
27:16
Speaker 1: in it that you could use if you're an employee,
27:18
Speaker 1: only an employee at an arcade. So it's like, yeah.
27:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, speak. That's a great segue into the next scene
27:26
Speaker 3: where the head of security is watching a guy smoking
27:30
Speaker 3: in the basement and he is fired for smoking, and
27:34
Speaker 3: I love because he just does this whole speech about
27:36
Speaker 3: terminating him, like, hey, no.
27:38
Speaker 1: He gets fired for smoking an unauthorized break.
27:41
Speaker 3: I forgot that the other person is smoking a fucking
27:43
Speaker 3: chimney this entire movie.
27:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's very pretty too, she shouldn't do that.
27:48
Speaker 3: And he's just and beautifully ends it with thank you
27:51
Speaker 3: so much.
27:52
Speaker 1: Yes, there's a lot of stuff that like rings true
27:55
Speaker 1: now to working in the most because this was supposed
27:59
Speaker 1: to be futuristic, but this literally happens all the time
28:02
Speaker 1: now where there's a moment where everything in Billie's cube
28:07
Speaker 1: shuts off, and he says to Kate, why did everything
28:10
Speaker 1: just shut off? And she's like, oh, it's like later
28:13
Speaker 1: in the day it thinks you're not working anymore. You
28:15
Speaker 1: just gotta wave your arms and everything we'll turn back on.
28:17
Speaker 1: And I was like, that literally happens all the time now.
28:20
Speaker 3: Lights in your office, Yeah, moving enough. Yeah, Yeah, it's true. Yeah,
28:23
Speaker 3: we should shut out this movie. Speaking of Dick Miller
28:27
Speaker 3: being in this, Clamp is played by John Glover. He's
28:32
Speaker 3: been a character director forever.
28:33
Speaker 1: He's the villain in like every movie for ten years.
28:36
Speaker 3: Batman and Robin die Heard two, Diehard two. He is in.
28:40
Speaker 1: He's Lex Luthor's dad in Smallville.
28:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, for a very long time. Forster, who is the
28:46
Speaker 3: head of security, the guy who fires the guy via videocam.
28:50
Speaker 3: Is Robert Riccardo's star Trek Forever. Yes, he was in,
28:54
Speaker 3: is in Legend. He's in a lot of stuff.
28:57
Speaker 1: Christopher Lee, who is Count Dooku.
29:00
Speaker 3: Count Dooku, He's sermon.
29:02
Speaker 1: He was in this movie. There's so many famous people
29:05
Speaker 1: in this movie.
29:05
Speaker 3: A lot of very famous character actors to take it.
29:08
Speaker 1: Take her from Last Action Hero. What's his name?
29:11
Speaker 3: Robert Prosky. He's also in Missus Doubtfire, Yes, Missus a
29:16
Speaker 3: lot of stuff.
29:17
Speaker 1: Oh, he's the judge in the remake of Miracle on
29:19
Speaker 1: thirty fourth Street.
29:21
Speaker 3: I think so. Yeah, could also could have been Santa.
29:25
Speaker 3: Have to be John Hammond? Yeah, but which Attenborough? But yeah,
29:30
Speaker 3: so we actually meet him next Grandpa Fred. He's working
29:33
Speaker 3: like some kind of like horror movie show presenter.
29:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a B list or sorry not b
29:40
Speaker 1: liss Like it's like B movie movie kind of show
29:44
Speaker 1: where they talk about old horror movies. And and Grandpa
29:47
Speaker 1: Fred is dressed like Dracula, yes, to host the show,
29:50
Speaker 1: and he's talking about how he got bumped to a
29:52
Speaker 1: terrible time slot because nobody wants to watch it anymore.
29:55
Speaker 3: And another I think Joe Dante kind of like comment
29:59
Speaker 3: of about like don't forget this shit kind of stuff.
30:02
Speaker 1: Yes, because he says, well, why don't you play some
30:05
Speaker 1: of the classics on your show? And like Dracula or Frankenstein?
30:09
Speaker 1: He goes no, because the network will only let me
30:11
Speaker 1: play color movies. Say's definitely a Joe Dante commentary but
30:15
Speaker 1: I wanted to make a quick reference. So the Billy's
30:19
Speaker 1: like boss's boss comes over and says, Billy, you're not
30:23
Speaker 1: allowed to have plants in your desk. It could cause
30:25
Speaker 1: an aphid infestation.
30:27
Speaker 3: That's mister Forrester, the security guy.
30:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, and aphids are like the most harmless tiny you
30:33
Speaker 1: could possibly imagine. And it's ironic because they're going to
30:36
Speaker 1: have a gremlin infestation, so aphids are not really a concern.
30:41
Speaker 3: Another shot, too, is another dig they make. I think
30:43
Speaker 3: at the first or the idea of this movie is
30:46
Speaker 3: Billy has a painting of Kingstown.
30:52
Speaker 1: Oh, Kingston Falls.
30:54
Speaker 3: Kingston Falls, where they're from the first movie takes place, Yeah,
30:57
Speaker 3: and they're just like what the fuck is this? And
30:59
Speaker 3: he's like, you can't have this. You can't have this
31:01
Speaker 3: personal stuff in here. You can't do that, and they
31:03
Speaker 3: like throw it away and like you could only have
31:06
Speaker 3: company approved art and it's just like shapes on a wall.
31:09
Speaker 3: There's just nothing to it. Yes, it's so great.
31:12
Speaker 1: I always love when you go into an office and
31:14
Speaker 1: there's art on the wall and it's like, whose job
31:16
Speaker 1: is it to choose this? And where do you get it?
31:18
Speaker 3: Parks and Rec did a genius episode about a tom
31:22
Speaker 3: mural where they get to like each like department gets
31:26
Speaker 3: to make up tom mural and it's about how like
31:30
Speaker 3: what's gonna win? And like the Fire Department does one
31:34
Speaker 3: that's too patriotic and they lose. Yeah, and then like
31:37
Speaker 3: they like the Parks Department does one and they're like,
31:40
Speaker 3: we need to include everything that we are about, so
31:43
Speaker 3: like one of them is a video of a knee
31:44
Speaker 3: surgery combined with like shapes that Tom's obsessed with, and
31:49
Speaker 3: like this makes no sense. When they present it, they realize,
31:51
Speaker 3: like what the fuck are we doing? Yeah, and then
31:53
Speaker 3: Mark makes that I think truly brilliant comment of do
31:57
Speaker 3: you know what a camel is? It's like what a
31:59
Speaker 3: ca mel? As a horse designed by a committee? Yes,
32:04
Speaker 3: And I feel like this is the same thing where
32:05
Speaker 3: like you have to go with basic non take stuff.
32:09
Speaker 3: There could be no take association to other actors.
32:11
Speaker 1: We forgot to mention it's pat Yes.
32:13
Speaker 3: Julius Sweeney.
32:14
Speaker 1: Julius Sweeney, the guy who's from He plays Tucco and
32:18
Speaker 1: Breaking Bad. He plays He's in Training Day. He plays
32:23
Speaker 1: one of the Spanish game members.
32:24
Speaker 3: You know. Also he's a delivery man.
32:26
Speaker 1: Yes, in what.
32:29
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say it because you know, if I
32:31
Speaker 3: say that, I have to say it a thousand times. It's
32:33
Speaker 3: also an alien resurrection.
32:35
Speaker 1: Oh nice. He's been in a million things. He's very
32:38
Speaker 1: young in this movie, very very young.
32:40
Speaker 3: Yes.
32:40
Speaker 1: Christopher Lee plays an evil scientist who is studying germs
32:45
Speaker 1: and experimenting on.
32:46
Speaker 3: A variety in doctor Catheter, Doctor Catheter. Yeah.
32:50
Speaker 1: So they bring Gizmo to doctor Catheter and he starts
32:53
Speaker 1: dancing to Chuck Berry and the twins are like, hey, look,
32:57
Speaker 1: Christopher Lee, doctor Catherter, look at what he does. And
33:00
Speaker 1: christopherly is like, that's very interesting. We're gonna have to
33:03
Speaker 1: cut into you. And then Gizmo's like, oh no.
33:07
Speaker 3: Also, christ really, if people don't know, is the scariest
33:09
Speaker 3: human being ever just screams evil.
33:13
Speaker 1: Gizmo, I think is much cuter in.
33:14
Speaker 3: This That's you know what's funny. I was saying, you know,
33:17
Speaker 3: when we did the first one, I was like, on
33:19
Speaker 3: the posters, I feel like Gizmo looks more like the
33:21
Speaker 3: posters and covers for like the first movie looks more
33:24
Speaker 3: like the Gizmo in this movie than he does in
33:26
Speaker 3: the first movie. Bizarrely, Yes, and this.
33:29
Speaker 1: Is skipping away to the end. But this movie is
33:31
Speaker 1: makes fun of Gremlin's want a lot. But mister Clamp,
33:35
Speaker 1: who is like the CEO of the company, at the
33:37
Speaker 1: end of the movie, he sees Gizmo and so Billy,
33:41
Speaker 1: what is this And he's like, oh, this is a
33:43
Speaker 1: magwa his name is Gizmo. And then he says he's
33:45
Speaker 1: very cute. There's a lot of merchandise opportunities in Gizmo.
33:49
Speaker 1: And I was like, yes, that is very funny. Joe Dante,
33:52
Speaker 1: good for you.
33:52
Speaker 3: It's amazing call out.
33:55
Speaker 1: So where are we going?
33:56
Speaker 2: Uh?
33:57
Speaker 1: Okay, Bill? The lights go off and Bill his cube
33:59
Speaker 1: already talked about that. And then Billy hears that the
34:02
Speaker 1: janitor Twoco from Breaking Bad is whispering, whispering, whistling. Gizmo's
34:07
Speaker 1: song just.
34:07
Speaker 3: Got me so excited. I was like, oh my god.
34:09
Speaker 1: Then unite, Billy goes, oh my god, where did you
34:12
Speaker 1: hear that? So I heard that in that lab, that
34:14
Speaker 1: animal experiment lab. And then he Billy knows like, oh,
34:17
Speaker 1: they have Gizmo in the lab.
34:19
Speaker 3: So it's weird, Like so they took a mister Wing
34:22
Speaker 3: took Gizmo at the end of the first one, so
34:25
Speaker 3: Billy is not seen or heard from him in six years. Yes,
34:28
Speaker 3: so like it's amazing to me. How like he would
34:32
Speaker 3: just be like, I'm gonna go on this haunch and
34:33
Speaker 3: see it. This is Gizmo, I think is great.
34:35
Speaker 1: I have a note here Ryan, which right before we
34:37
Speaker 1: started recording, Ryan said this to me without me prompting it.
34:40
Speaker 1: My note is there is so much going on in
34:42
Speaker 1: the background with gags and stuff happening. It's so hard
34:45
Speaker 1: for me to keep up with these notes. I having
34:46
Speaker 1: to keep pausing, pausing the movie. In the lab there
34:50
Speaker 1: are monkeys named Alvin and Theodore. They're trying to steal
34:53
Speaker 1: DNA and a huge note I wrote in all capital
34:57
Speaker 1: letters is they there's like this electric series that they
35:01
Speaker 1: try to If you inject it in something, it makes
35:03
Speaker 1: the thing electric, the living thing electric. So they take
35:06
Speaker 1: a rat and they inject the electric serum, and in
35:08
Speaker 1: all capital letters, I wrote electric rat. Pikachu. This movie
35:13
Speaker 1: invented Pikatu.
35:15
Speaker 3: You know what? I think you need to put that
35:17
Speaker 3: out there.
35:18
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, well, it's like I'm gonna google this.
35:21
Speaker 1: What is the first year Pikachu is everyone's favorite electric mouse.
35:24
Speaker 1: I think he's a mouse, not a rat. Rat's less appealing.
35:27
Speaker 1: But Pikachu first existed in Pikachu is a large yellow mouse.
35:37
Speaker 1: That's what it says. Nineteen ninety six. Yep, they got
35:41
Speaker 1: him lawsuit, but uh so then Billy kidnaps Gizmo from
35:46
Speaker 1: the lab. Yep, rightfully so yep.
35:50
Speaker 3: At that time, Clamp comes down to visit Billy's floor.
35:56
Speaker 1: And Billy's Billy's boss who's like a scumbag and try
36:00
Speaker 1: to sit as Billy afterwards, but Billy's about super hot.
36:03
Speaker 3: Who is she? Her name was that? The character name
36:05
Speaker 3: is Marla Bloodstone. I have never heard of this actor ever.
36:09
Speaker 1: I've never seen her in anything else. And she's like
36:11
Speaker 1: a beautiful redhead and.
36:13
Speaker 3: She is like ripping heaters.
36:14
Speaker 1: Like maybe that's what it was. But yeah, I explain,
36:19
Speaker 1: So explain what happens when Clamp comes by.
36:22
Speaker 3: He comes to visit the floor and is talking about it.
36:25
Speaker 3: He sees Billy's design for the building, which is like
36:30
Speaker 3: this dragon because because they're moving the building into Chinatown,
36:33
Speaker 3: so there's this dragon design. I'm so curious. I was
36:37
Speaker 3: trying to find, like interviews with Joe Dante, if this
36:40
Speaker 3: was also meant to be another commentary because a very
36:43
Speaker 3: big trend in eighties movies was Asian villains was very
36:49
Speaker 3: big thing.
36:51
Speaker 1: And well the eighties America like discovered Japan in the
36:54
Speaker 1: eightieses so funny to me. And there was just this
36:57
Speaker 1: huge movement to like white people were that's the Asian culture.
37:00
Speaker 3: Yes, and the heat Well we look at like Henry
37:03
Speaker 3: Hill's house in Yes, in Good Fellas.
37:05
Speaker 1: That's a great example. And then also what's the movie
37:07
Speaker 1: that it's based on a book, but the movie was
37:09
Speaker 1: Sean Connery and Welsey Snipes Rising Sun. Yeah. Rising Sun
37:13
Speaker 1: is like there's a lot of like white people, you know,
37:18
Speaker 1: discovering Asian culture and being like, oh, let's go to
37:21
Speaker 1: that Japanese Like if you live in Manhattan and it's
37:22
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five, you're like, let's go to that sushi restaurant.
37:25
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, sushi. I remember as a kid, all
37:28
Speaker 1: white people, like all suburban white people, like my Irish
37:32
Speaker 1: parents were like, oh no, noah, sushi, raw fish, raw
37:35
Speaker 1: fish this way. Yeah. It's like yeah, but here's.
37:38
Speaker 3: A hot dog. It's like it's like, sure, I go
37:41
Speaker 3: for it.
37:42
Speaker 1: But nobody had ever heard of avocados before. It was
37:44
Speaker 1: a weird time. Mexican food was like just establishing itself.
37:48
Speaker 3: Continue, No, it's just it's the same thing as I wonder,
37:50
Speaker 3: like was that meant to be a whole like comment
37:53
Speaker 3: on like we're like appropriating this to like modern American
37:59
Speaker 3: design and like it's the idea of like again back
38:03
Speaker 3: to mister Wish, where like we just destroyed this in
38:06
Speaker 3: the beginning of the movie, where it's actually the real
38:09
Speaker 3: thing in America. So he's blown away by this design.
38:14
Speaker 3: He thinks it's so cool. And then Billy's drawer keeps
38:18
Speaker 3: opening because Chis was inside it, and he's like, oh, no,
38:20
Speaker 3: it's actually the drawer is like if you don't open
38:23
Speaker 3: it a while, it just opens for you. That was
38:24
Speaker 3: really funny. I don't know why he's.
38:26
Speaker 1: An automated drug. And then mister Clamp had designed the
38:28
Speaker 1: whole building and all the AI. He was like, I
38:30
Speaker 1: didn't know we did that.
38:32
Speaker 3: And well they reveal later how much he really knows.
38:36
Speaker 3: And then because he had proximity to mister Clamp, Marla Bloodstone,
38:42
Speaker 3: his manager, is like, oh my god, like you, we
38:44
Speaker 3: see potential.
38:45
Speaker 1: In you because she was treating him like shit before,
38:47
Speaker 1: completely shit. And then mister Clamp was like, I really
38:49
Speaker 1: like this Billy and Marla was literally like, I'm gonna.
38:52
Speaker 3: Try to have sex with him, and does and does.
38:55
Speaker 1: Does try to. And I really like this line because
38:59
Speaker 1: this is like his dig at New York City, like
39:03
Speaker 1: like the example I just made of, like, oh, the
39:05
Speaker 1: Japanese restaurant. She says, there's a great Canadian restaurant where
39:09
Speaker 1: they clean your fish right at the table. And then
39:11
Speaker 1: Billy says, Oh, that sounds great, and I was like,
39:13
Speaker 1: that sounds terrible. So she said Billy, just even though
39:17
Speaker 1: he's engaged to Kate, Billy's like, yes, I'll go to
39:19
Speaker 1: I'll go on a date with you, just because he
39:21
Speaker 1: wants her to get out of his cube.
39:22
Speaker 3: Yes, so she.
39:23
Speaker 1: Doesn't discover Gizmo. Yeah, And so Billy tells Kate, Hey,
39:27
Speaker 1: like Gizmo's back. I gotta run out to a meeting,
39:31
Speaker 1: but can you go get him and bring him home?
39:32
Speaker 1: Kate is understandably concerned.
39:34
Speaker 3: I love that, Kate, Like this is the most normal
39:37
Speaker 3: reaction to persons in this movie is be like, I
39:39
Speaker 3: get he's adorable. He is the cause of so many problems.
39:42
Speaker 3: His existence is the problem.
39:43
Speaker 1: It's like trying to bring home a Tornado like this
39:46
Speaker 1: is a bad idea, man, and he's like no, no, no,
39:49
Speaker 1: it's good, just like go get him.
39:50
Speaker 3: I also love how they recite the rules in this
39:54
Speaker 3: part or like he's like yes, like what are the
39:57
Speaker 3: rules with him? And she remembers all the rules. I
39:58
Speaker 3: think it's really funny.
40:00
Speaker 1: Another Joe Dante being obsessed with these like niche classic
40:04
Speaker 1: stuff and horror stuff. Is the original Gomez Adams is
40:08
Speaker 1: the janitor in this scene. John Aston, Yes, yeah, is
40:12
Speaker 1: that is that Sean Asson's dead?
40:14
Speaker 3: He is his stepfather stepfather, yes, but great to see
40:18
Speaker 3: him in this. This was again that's like the idea,
40:22
Speaker 3: Like the water just misses him twenty eight times before
40:24
Speaker 3: it actually hits.
40:25
Speaker 1: Them, nails them with the water fountains just squirts. Gizmo
40:28
Speaker 1: gets him very wet. And there are four Mogwise that
40:34
Speaker 1: shoot out yep, and they have They are very different
40:37
Speaker 1: from the first movie because.
40:38
Speaker 3: They're a very much more designed.
40:39
Speaker 1: So like all the Mogways look like Gizmo in the
40:41
Speaker 1: first movie, and all the Gremlins look like each other,
40:43
Speaker 1: the green Gremlins. This time they have different colors, different personalities.
40:48
Speaker 1: So the four are there's the crazy one his name
40:51
Speaker 1: is Daffy and he has crazy eyes.
40:54
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie to you. Daffy was fucking brutal.
40:57
Speaker 1: He was really annoying.
40:58
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
40:59
Speaker 1: Yes, he just goes like and they clearly it was
41:06
Speaker 1: kind of like when I watch Big Mouth. Clearly the
41:09
Speaker 1: creators loved the coach and I was like, no, the
41:12
Speaker 1: coach is like, not that funny. I'm actually really sick
41:15
Speaker 1: of this. Let's move on. Yeah, clearly, Joe DANTEI loved Dafy.
41:19
Speaker 1: There is uh, the mentally handicapped gremlin Lenny, named after
41:25
Speaker 1: Lenny of Advice and Men. But he is this is
41:28
Speaker 1: going to be offensive, but it's in the movie. He
41:30
Speaker 1: has buck teeth and he's very slow, and he he
41:33
Speaker 1: goes like, there's a lot of mistakes, makes a lot
41:36
Speaker 1: of mistakes very of the time, Yes, very much of
41:39
Speaker 1: its time. And then uh, there is another gremlin named
41:43
Speaker 1: George who was very serious, very angry.
41:45
Speaker 3: He was a little scary.
41:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, he kind of looked like the Magwa version of him.
41:49
Speaker 1: To me, looked like Andy Garcia. He looked like an
41:54
Speaker 1: Italian mobster, like the Magwa version.
41:56
Speaker 3: I mean it's the same year as Godfather Part three,
41:58
Speaker 3: so maybe he was you know whatever, or.
42:00
Speaker 1: No, uh not Andy Garcia, Joe Montagna. That's what I
42:03
Speaker 1: meant to say. Yeah, yeah, they kind of look like
42:06
Speaker 1: each other. And George is sort of the mo because
42:09
Speaker 1: like Daffy, Lenny and George have this three Stooges thing
42:14
Speaker 1: going on throughout the movie, and George is the mo
42:16
Speaker 1: where he's always mad at them. He's like, you know,
42:18
Speaker 1: he's getting hurt. They like throw something and hits him
42:20
Speaker 1: in the head. And then the fourth Maguay is new
42:24
Speaker 1: Stripe whose name is Mohawk, and it's like Stripe from
42:28
Speaker 1: the first movie, but he's entirely black and he has
42:30
Speaker 1: sharp teeth, so he just looks way more evil than Stripe.
42:33
Speaker 3: It's just bigger version of the old villain, which is
42:36
Speaker 3: a genius move. Yes, like like a genius comment move
42:38
Speaker 3: to be like, let's just do the same guy again,
42:40
Speaker 3: only better.
42:40
Speaker 1: So I said, I wrote I love how immediately within
42:44
Speaker 1: minutes of having Gizmo in his possession, Billy proved to
42:48
Speaker 1: be a massive liability.
42:50
Speaker 3: My question for the Maguay genus and species, Yeah, why
42:57
Speaker 3: is Gizmo so nice? So CODs so wonderful? All if
43:02
Speaker 3: this spawn pre gremlin mode are awful and hate him.
43:08
Speaker 3: They all and they all know his name, which I love.
43:10
Speaker 3: They all know his.
43:11
Speaker 1: Name like from birth. They know his name is Gizmo.
43:13
Speaker 3: When he rips, I started laughing, is like when Mohawk
43:16
Speaker 3: rips the wristband of was like, guess mom. I was like,
43:19
Speaker 3: how do you know.
43:22
Speaker 1: A really important question? Mary? Fuck kill Golf, Daffy, George,
43:26
Speaker 1: Lenny Moak, how dridged?
43:39
Speaker 3: Would you marry one of these?
43:41
Speaker 1: Oh, Mary, Daffy, all of them would be such a liability.
43:45
Speaker 1: I feel like, man, I would say.
43:49
Speaker 3: I don't know, you're seriously gonna answer this question.
43:52
Speaker 1: I would say, Mary, George, he seen Mary kill Raptor.
43:56
Speaker 3: Has seen him morph and now really irritable predator.
43:59
Speaker 1: Hear me out George, because he's the least liability in
44:03
Speaker 1: my opinion, George, he just looks so evil. Yeah, but
44:06
Speaker 1: he you know, he's they're all evil, But he's the
44:08
Speaker 1: least liability. I think that. I think that Daffy and
44:14
Speaker 1: Mohawk are the biggest liability used to have in your life.
44:17
Speaker 1: But I would say, you gotta kill Mohawk. You have to.
44:21
Speaker 1: He's too dangerous. Fuck Daffy. Why because crazy people are
44:26
Speaker 1: always better in bed.
44:28
Speaker 3: That's what you think he's sexually better.
44:31
Speaker 1: I think Lenny would be easy to like manipulate. Maybe, yeah,
44:34
Speaker 1: I think that's my answer.
44:36
Speaker 3: You know, I forgot about the whole idea of like
44:38
Speaker 3: because of the evil that Mohawk does, because I just
44:40
Speaker 3: Daffy is just so annoying, like so, and he's very dangerous.
44:46
Speaker 3: He is extremely dangerous, as we.
44:48
Speaker 1: Learn, but he's not evil in the way Mohawk is evil.
44:53
Speaker 1: Cure evil. So I'm like, I'm so confused by this.
44:57
Speaker 1: So Kate goes to Billy's desk to get Gizmo. Yes,
45:00
Speaker 1: and all the grandlones hide except for Daffy because he's crazy.
45:03
Speaker 3: And they push they walk GisMo in event yes, yeah.
45:06
Speaker 1: And uh, she thinks Daffy is Gizmo.
45:10
Speaker 3: So here's the thing, Like Daffy obviously looks cartoonishly different.
45:14
Speaker 3: It's been six years.
45:16
Speaker 1: I could and I shouldn't really be poking holes in
45:18
Speaker 1: this I.
45:19
Speaker 3: Get it, but still, but I can I get whether
45:21
Speaker 3: they would give you the movie logic of why she
45:23
Speaker 3: would suck that up.
45:24
Speaker 1: I read a trivia thing that will come up later
45:26
Speaker 1: that the fact anybody would try to poke a hole
45:29
Speaker 1: in this movie I absolutely love. I'll talk about it later. Sure,
45:32
Speaker 1: but so Kate thinks Daffy as Gizmo takes Daffy, brings
45:37
Speaker 1: Daffy home, they'll be cut to the Canadian restaurant with
45:40
Speaker 1: Billy and his boss Marlowe, which is great. Describe the
45:44
Speaker 1: Canadian restaurant.
45:45
Speaker 3: It's over decorated with like moose heads.
45:48
Speaker 1: And there's a moose head at their table sitting with.
45:50
Speaker 3: You like it's you can't speak.
45:52
Speaker 1: It's like in front of them, the waiters or mounties
45:55
Speaker 1: or mounties.
45:56
Speaker 3: The waiter looked familiar to Wales, like somebody famous too?
45:58
Speaker 1: Is it you want another Mulson. Eh. Billy's drinking a
46:01
Speaker 1: joked colon which is shout out Joe the original, the
46:06
Speaker 1: original energy drink.
46:07
Speaker 3: Shout to Daffy with that one. Definitely a joke man, Yes,
46:12
Speaker 3: But so he is talking to her about Oh, she's saying,
46:15
Speaker 3: like you have a lot of potential. You're gonna be
46:17
Speaker 3: something great. She reaches over and just grabs Billie's hasticles.
46:22
Speaker 1: Well with her foot. With her foot, she starts stroking
46:25
Speaker 1: over his pants. She starts stroking his genitals with her
46:28
Speaker 1: foot at the table.
46:29
Speaker 3: So Billy does his best to get the fuck out
46:32
Speaker 3: of air. Yes, I love that the guy comes over
46:34
Speaker 3: with a fully chocolate sculpted moose head and just says,
46:39
Speaker 3: excuse me, if you would like more moose chocolate moose.
46:43
Speaker 1: Would you like an antler?
46:44
Speaker 3: Yes?
46:45
Speaker 1: And she he Billy leaves, but she kisses him on
46:48
Speaker 1: the lips as he leaves.
46:52
Speaker 3: A lot of kissing in this movie, we'll put it
46:54
Speaker 3: that way.
46:55
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so the Billy comes home and the Futterman's
46:59
Speaker 1: who are all live are staying with them. Oh, so
47:02
Speaker 1: Billy walks in the door and he has a lipstick
47:04
Speaker 1: mark on his lips. Yes, And Kate says, how is
47:07
Speaker 1: your meeting? And he's like, oh, it's good. He doesn't realize.
47:09
Speaker 3: Plus, also Kate has been beat up by death Daffy. Also,
47:15
Speaker 3: it broke my heart when Billy walks in a dog
47:17
Speaker 3: runs out a golden retred.
47:19
Speaker 1: Thought it was Barney.
47:20
Speaker 3: I thought it was Barney.
47:20
Speaker 1: Me too. It was like it was Barney. Barney's a
47:22
Speaker 1: straight Now he let him go, let him loose in
47:25
Speaker 1: the city.
47:25
Speaker 3: So, so Billy deserves Daffy in my opinion.
47:28
Speaker 1: Then well, I also love like Kate thinks Daffy is
47:30
Speaker 1: Gizmo Billy walks into the apartment, goes, that's not gizmo.
47:35
Speaker 1: It's like mcgruber. They go, that's not us. And when Kate,
47:39
Speaker 1: when what's her name, Christian wake walks in just got
47:44
Speaker 1: disguised as host. He walks in and says, that's not
47:46
Speaker 1: a chizmo, Like, what is this? So the Futterman show
47:49
Speaker 1: up and they said, oh, he came to visit you
47:53
Speaker 1: for the weekend, like they plan this. And they go, oh,
47:55
Speaker 1: there's been a mix up. You're gonna have to get
47:57
Speaker 1: a hotel. And the Futterman's go, oh, no problem, Like
47:59
Speaker 1: there's spraying for insects in your building. We have to
48:01
Speaker 1: get a hotel. That's fine. They leave, and I go,
48:03
Speaker 1: if I'm staying. If let's say Andy lived in Manhattan
48:07
Speaker 1: and I showed up to say in his apartment, he goes,
48:09
Speaker 1: there's been a mix up. You need to get a hotel.
48:10
Speaker 1: I'd be like, you just cost me two thousand dollars.
48:13
Speaker 3: They also show up a day early.
48:14
Speaker 1: They did show up a day early. That's true, that's true,
48:17
Speaker 1: that's fair. But mister Futterman has to be a racist.
48:20
Speaker 1: But in this sequel, he's racist against a race of
48:23
Speaker 1: white people. So it's more okay, He says, do you
48:26
Speaker 1: see there's Russians driving cabs in New York City? What
48:29
Speaker 1: if I had, you know, FBI documents in a Russian's cab?
48:33
Speaker 1: And then his wife is like, Marie, let's not, let's
48:35
Speaker 1: not worry about that.
48:36
Speaker 3: It makes you wonder, like the Cold War thing of
48:38
Speaker 3: like Red Dawn and stuff like, like when was this written,
48:42
Speaker 3: even though like a lot of it's very modern.
48:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean the eighties was very anti Russia, right, No, that's.
48:46
Speaker 3: What I'm saying, Like the idea of like you know,
48:48
Speaker 3: it came out in ninety like that, just that marker
48:50
Speaker 3: of being ninety and makes it feel different than it should.
48:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, And uh so I wrote it one here Kate said,
48:56
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry I brought it home the wrong Magwa
48:58
Speaker 1: and Billy says, no, it's my fault, and I wrote, no, ship, Billy,
49:03
Speaker 1: it is your fucking fault.
49:04
Speaker 3: It is a lot your fault. Yeah, if only if
49:06
Speaker 3: only mister Wing was alive. So they go back to portion,
49:10
Speaker 3: say they go back. They cut back to the Clant Building.
49:13
Speaker 3: The Clant Building, there's an ice cream parlor, people trying
49:17
Speaker 3: to order ice cream. They're asking questions about what's the
49:20
Speaker 3: stuff made of, what's included in it? And the four
49:26
Speaker 3: maguay are just playing around the ice cream cones, playing
49:30
Speaker 3: around the ice cream ingredients and be like, oh my god,
49:33
Speaker 3: is that a rat? I had a lot of questions
49:36
Speaker 3: for that lady who thought that was.
49:38
Speaker 1: A rat, who thought mohawk was.
49:41
Speaker 3: Thought mohawk was a rat? Pretty interesting.
49:44
Speaker 1: There's a there's a reference in the movie. Somebody goes like, oh,
49:47
Speaker 1: I heard in the science lab they're experimenting on a
49:49
Speaker 1: new species, a gerbil. They patented it, so they think that,
49:52
Speaker 1: like the magwas are Gerbils or guinea pictures on this?
49:55
Speaker 3: It's a perfect cover up. Also, finally, finally, we don't
49:59
Speaker 3: get a lot of these and movies. Now great composer cameo.
50:02
Speaker 3: Jerry Goldsmith is in this scene.
50:04
Speaker 1: Who's Jerry Goldsmith?
50:05
Speaker 3: He is the composer of this movie and Gremlins one,
50:09
Speaker 3: I shouldn't say called action called Gremlins one, They didn't
50:12
Speaker 3: call it that. But he's behind her in line. He
50:15
Speaker 3: has like long white hair and he's like, what the

Speaker 1: So Billy, Billy goes back to the building and the
50:30
Speaker 1: first thing he thinks is we got to turn the water.
50:32
Speaker 3: Off the building. Honestly, when Billy goes back, I'm like
50:36
Speaker 3: everything he's doing, I'm like he's smart about it, Like yeah, yeah.
50:39
Speaker 1: So he goes to this restricted area of the building.
50:42

Speaker 1: She builds them out of jail.
52:03
Speaker 3: Yep. The eggs hatch at the same time that Gizmo
52:07
Speaker 3: falls on a e vent because Gizmo was still in
52:09
Speaker 3: the building after they threw him the vent.
52:12
Speaker 1: The yeah, the the The eggs are hatching, but we
52:15
Speaker 1: don't see the gremlins yet.
52:16
Speaker 3: Ye.
52:17
Speaker 1: And the cooking show I absolutely love. It's called Microwave
52:20
Speaker 1: with March and she's making bologney wraps with bean dip,
52:24
Speaker 1: so it literally slices of boloney. You fill them with
52:28
Speaker 1: bean dip, you roll them up and put a toothpick
52:30
Speaker 1: in them. And that's what she's quote unquote making in
52:33
Speaker 1: this episode, microwave with March.
52:36
Speaker 3: Shout out to Micray with March. She is the teacher
52:38
Speaker 3: in hocus Pocus.
52:39
Speaker 1: She's been in a ton of stuff. She's not She's
52:41
Speaker 1: not large March and Petere Herman is.
52:44
Speaker 3: There is no other human who is large Mars, but
52:47
Speaker 3: large March. I don't think so, actually think that's really true.
52:50
Speaker 3: I don't thin anything else. I don't think she's ever
52:51
Speaker 3: done anything.
52:52
Speaker 1: But but two moments before we bring it to a
52:57
Speaker 1: part two, sure, they Bill runs into like the security
53:01
Speaker 1: room and his but the security guy goes, oh, great,
53:04
Speaker 1: you got arrested here last night and you're back. And
53:08
Speaker 1: he says, there are these gremlins. They're gonna transform and
53:11
Speaker 1: destroy the building. We can't let them go out in
53:13
Speaker 1: New York City. There are these rules. Number one, you
53:16
Speaker 1: can't get them wet. Number two wait what is it?
53:20
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, number one they are allergic to light.
53:23
Speaker 1: Number two you can't get them wet, and number three
53:25
Speaker 1: you can't feed them after midnight. And then all the
53:28
Speaker 1: security guys are blatantly making fun of the first movie Brilliant,
53:32
Speaker 1: So they say, wait, wait, wait, these time zones don't
53:34
Speaker 1: make any sense. I mean, sorry, these time zones, these
53:37
Speaker 1: rules don't make any sense. So they can't eat after midnight? Right,
53:40
Speaker 1: what if they eat at like eleven fifty five there's
53:43
Speaker 1: a seed in their teeth, and then at twelve fifteen
53:46
Speaker 1: the seed falls out in the swallow. Does that count
53:47
Speaker 1: is eating after midnight? And then another one goes, wait
53:49
Speaker 1: a minute, wait a minute, what if they're on an
53:51
Speaker 1: airplane and they're flying through time zones and the time
53:55
Speaker 1: zone ever goes back or skips ahead, so they're blatantly
53:59
Speaker 1: making on of the first movie. So then one of
54:02
Speaker 1: the security guys starts laughing and he goes, these rules
54:05
Speaker 1: are so stupid, they don't make any sense. And then
54:07
Speaker 1: when he says that, Mohawk explodes out of the floor
54:11
Speaker 1: and kills him. And I loved that so much.
54:14
Speaker 3: Mohawk is also gigantic. He's like four feet tall, and
54:17
Speaker 3: I was like, holy shit.
54:18
Speaker 1: He just goes and then bites him like on the
54:21
Speaker 1: net it was.
54:21
Speaker 3: And then but after he decides like they're comically just
54:24
Speaker 3: punch him in the face. I think it's so funny. Yeah,
54:27
Speaker 3: like I was, so I actually said this before. I
54:30
Speaker 3: have actually I don't think I've ever seen this whole
54:32
Speaker 3: movie in full, so like that, I'm not going to
54:34
Speaker 3: that legit scared. The shadowy with the console is a
54:37
Speaker 3: holy mohawk.
54:38
Speaker 1: The Grandma's in this look way more extreme, more detail.
54:41
Speaker 1: They're very like more expensive to make. Mohawk has this,
54:46
Speaker 1: you know, like if you've ever gone fishing, sunfish have
54:49
Speaker 1: this spiky fin on their back where when you take
54:53
Speaker 1: them off the hook, you have to grab your hand
54:55
Speaker 1: from the top of their head and slide it down
54:57
Speaker 1: so the spines go down. You don't want to jerk
54:59
Speaker 1: up because then the fin comes up and there are
55:02
Speaker 1: all these spines in it and it will stab you.
55:04
Speaker 1: So that's just like that is what the mohawk turned into. Yes,
55:07
Speaker 1: so he has this spiny fin all the way down
55:09
Speaker 1: his body looks.
55:10
Speaker 3: It looks great, It looks you looks really good.
55:12
Speaker 1: It looks great. And I think, now the Eggs of Hatch, Ryan,
55:15
Speaker 1: we're at an hour. I think that we should bring
55:17
Speaker 1: this to apart too, So the first one it Yeah,
55:19
Speaker 1: whenever I say I say the Eggs of Hatch. There's
55:21
Speaker 1: a great moment and Family Guy where Peter is watching
55:25
Speaker 1: a movie that doesn't exist in real life, but it's
55:26
Speaker 1: called Kiss Save Santa, and it's a movie where the
55:29
Speaker 1: band Kiss Saved Santa. It's supposed to be like a
55:33
Speaker 1: very stupid Christmas movie. And Peter's watching and the only
55:36
Speaker 1: scene in this show is uh, Santa is in a
55:39
Speaker 1: nest of pterodactyls and he goes, hurry, boys, the eggs
55:43
Speaker 1: are hatching, and they go, we'll get you, Santa, don't worry,
