• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I don't I'm the same. I don't know. My wife
• 3:09

  Speaker 4: we kind of just between the holidays and after New

  Speaker 4: Year's I just don't. We just don't care. But when
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: we used to we would go to eat. But yeah,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: it would like I'm not even talking like day before,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: day after. It might be like a weekend after. It
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: might be a week before. But since my son was born.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: He was born in February. So that's that's February. Everything
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Valentine's Day is is out.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: That's the main event right now.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, you just you just high five each other
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: passing in the hallway.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: And then we just have and then we just say,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: look what we did.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's don't do it again. Yeah, so it'd be
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: it'd be in February and Valentine's Uh, we had to
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: come up with some love on this week's this month's
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: episode and what more love can we give? Then with
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: puppies And this is all about the movie Must Love
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Dogs from two thousand and five. Must Love Dogs is
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: about the recently divorced preschool teacher Sarah, who finds herself
• 4:11

• 4:14
  Speaker 3: for an online dating service, and then boat boat builder Jake,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: who is also recently divorced, is set up by a
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: friend on the same site, and when the two meet,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: the sparks don't quite fly at first. The film explores
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: how love can resurface when you least expect it, especially
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: if you love dogs.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Jake's a prick.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know why the sparks don't
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: fly right off the bat because John Cusack is the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: most fuckable I've ever seen him in this movie.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Ain't Billy Crystal when here he met Sally fucking Well, I.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Said, he's the most fuckable I've seen hims now Well.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Also, besides say anything, I don't know when John Cusack
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: has looked fuckable, So I'm not sure. Maybe high fidelity.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: High fidelity, definitely if you're a music fan, you fucking
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: mean use that.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hot tub time machine.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Here's okay, well, here's this should.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Identity.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have the new uh Mount Rushmore question most
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: fuckable John eck Roles.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Listen, that's gonna be worse than those Sandra Bullock movies
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: because I don't know if I've even seen that many,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: and the ones I have aren't great.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: The blasphemy anyway. H Must Love Dogs was directed by
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Gary David Goldberg, whose only real other film credit was
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: nineteen eighty nine's Dad with Jack Lemon Ted Dancing and
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: the Young Ethan Hawk.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: What a What a Moment in Times? Yeah, are the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: only two film credits he has.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: When it comes to major directorial stuff. Yeah, and Olympia
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Ducaccus was in that film as well. I've seen it,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: but it's been ages.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: It's like, he doesn't make good movies.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: You really must love dogs.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Huh, it's fine.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: He's also dead now, so.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: God definitely not making anymore. Uh.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: The screenplay was written by Goldberg. H And it's based
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: on the novel of the same name by Claire Cook.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is a book.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: The book.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would read this book. I'm actually I'm going
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to add probably better.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: It's probably better than what you.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what I'm thinking. It's probably probably a
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: little more uh, probably a little more impactful romance.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: In case you're wondering, Dad is rotten on Rotten Tomatoes.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: It wrote the book, you said, Yes, Cook, I just
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: added it to my want to read list.

  Speaker 3: There you go read. Yeah, so you have the most
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: decorated actor in the history of drinking win John Cusack
• 7:02

• 9:09
  Speaker 3: up back in the eighties.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I I told Brandon after we both watched this. We
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: were kind of comparing notes, so to speak, and I

• 9:19
  Speaker 2: had me doing anything.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I I really like her, Yeah, from I think in
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: a in a She's in a better movie called Under
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: the Tuscan Sun that I really like. But she's just
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: got this like glow about her. I mean, I liked
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: her in this movie. She's probably the only character I
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: actually really liked. But she's she's just she's very I
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: think she's underrated, and you know what, she's been in
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: the game a lot longer than people realize. Oh yeah,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: has anyone seen Unfaithful?
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I never have, Actually that steamy.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Movie with Richard gear and What's Your?

  Speaker 2: What's Your?
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Oliver Martinez Olivia Martin? Maybe, but I took my mom
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: to see it from Mother's Day And how weird does
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: that Yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: You didn't. That one wasn't scouted too well in the advance.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: No, well, I mean I first saw her and uh
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: The Outsiders, which is still one of my favorite movies
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: of all time.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't know the first time I
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: saw her, I feel like she played I don't know.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: It was in the nineties. Maybe, I don't know. I'll
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: look it up.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I'll see. You're definitely late to the game. But you're
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: also much younger as well.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm twenty eighth.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mentioned a couple episodes back last year about
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Indian Summer being one of my favorite summer films or
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: whatever the now restbark question she was in that She's
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: in Club Judge Dredd. So I loved her and Judge Dredd.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I don't remember that.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then the uh Keanu Reeves classic Hardball. Can't
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: forget that.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Hey, that was a good one. I remember her in
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Chaplain yep.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: And then Under the Tuscan's Son, which came out like
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: two years prior to Must Love Dogs, kind of like
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: put her back on the uh on the Hollywood Map.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: I guess, oh man, she was doing it The Outsiders
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: and she did Outsiders and Rumblefish in the same year.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, two great films.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: But I will say, for me the first time, like
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: when I'm just looking at these, the ones that I
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: actually remember her in was Jack Oh yeah, yeah, And
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: then I caught up with Chaplain and all the other
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: stuff later.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I think Chaplain's very underrated film.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I didn't really like it that much. Okay, Robert Downey
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Junior is great in it, but it's a very standard biopic.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: It seemed to actually kind of shallow for everything that
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: feel like it could have gone into. Even though it
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: felt like it lasted forever. It needed a Tom Hanks
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: terminal hackcent or something something really get me going.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Or an Arnold Schwarzenegger collateral uh misdirection.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's called collateral damage.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh shit, I fucked it up again exactly.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Do not mix with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: We've already got it once here.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I think I think it's time for a drink. We
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: need to drink. And as we do every episode of
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: this drink, we curate a drink specifically with this movie
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: in mind. And this is just simply called Puppies Breath.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's two ounces of rye whiskey with an
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: ounce of sweet Vermuth. You're gonna need a little chocolate
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: bitters and then a teaspoon of cherry liqueur. If you
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: have some floating around, You're gonna combine all gredients into
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: a mixing glass with some ice, Stir until until well chilled,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: and then strain into a rocks glass egg garnished with
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: a cherry.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: There we go. A little puppies breath for Valentine?
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Does it taste like puppies breath?
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Puppies breath is better than no breath,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: as I always.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Say, that's true.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh So money that's important here? Uh how many?
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: How many bouquets of roses and boxes of chocolates do
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: we think this movie costs to be made? M?
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Fifteen million?
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say eleven million.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: You could add both of yours up and you would
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: still be short. What this movie cost? Thirty million dollars?
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Who robbed them? Who took that money?
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Damn god?
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: That is who did they rob? I guess I should
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: ask if you didn't?
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: So if you, yeah, I don't know. But if you
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: joined us last month the kickoff the year, you know,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: crash costs six and a half million dollars to be made, and.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Here we are sick thirty million dollars.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Nearly five times the amount. John Cusac was, you know,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: raking it in. I guess at two thousand and five.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess, like why you bro pay your
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: your performers.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: There's not enough dogs in this field? Yeah? Was this?
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Was this just something like maybe it took forever to shoot,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: so they ended up like doubling the time they needed
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to work on it, or I mean, was it like
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: a heavily edited movie that I don't I don't get
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: this one.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe Claire Cook, you know, held out for a high
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: rantom maybe rights to her book.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I remember, you know, this book being as
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: popular as like Harry Potter and stuff.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: John Cusack is coming five minutes ago, you didn't know
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: it was a book.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: John Cusack is coming off of Identity and Runaway Jury.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Oh that's twenty eight million right there.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Eight million?
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: And that was both in two thousand and three, and
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: then Must Love Dogs come on?
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't I was Diane Lane commanding a ton
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: of money back then?
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe it was just a combo? Was
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: there cgi for John Cusacks here.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Wait a minute, can you do me a favor. Can
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: you look up to see how much Joan got because
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: she's his stunt double j I.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Don't think there were any stunts for John Cusack. He
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: rode the boat himself. Oh really, Oh he did his
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: own stunts yet nice. So uh. We got the budget
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: out of the way, which, even with me, that's a
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: head scratcher on how this movie costs that much money
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: even with inflation. But it was released July twenty ninth
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: of two thousand and five, and it was released on
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: twenty five hundred.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Screens, damn right in the middle of summer too.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Yep. And it opened opened alongside sky High and Stealth.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: I don't remember Stealth.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Stell was that the the aircraft kind of comes to life.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: It's like a an AI thing.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was an action Jamie Foxx met Martin Henderson. Guy,
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: I think is isn't it?
• 16:00

  Speaker 4: I was thinking Paramount Plus.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I was thinking Lifetime.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, well, that's probably where it's not.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: That's not a bad thing.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: I'm not being dispeared, but that's the quality.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Then you would have like, uh, what's the girl from
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: a Party of Five? That and mean girls that does
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: all the Lifetime?
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, she'd played Dane Lane's character.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but John Cusack.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: He's in it, John, Yeah, he's in it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: At this point, that would be the Bill Belichick movie,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: but it'd.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Be the it'd be the John Cusack with doc from
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Back to the Future here.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Uh So at the box office domestically, in total, it
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: made just under forty four million dollars sixteen profit it's profit,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: and worldwide a little over fifty eight million dollars.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: There you go, Okay, souching, it made its money back
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and then so.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Your big winners internationally are Germany and Australia. They both
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: brought in over two million dollars. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Bulgaria ever screened Must Love Dogs.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: God, you gotta be top three to No Wonder, No
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Wonder Top.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair, but Finland really hated dogs because it
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: only brought in eighty nine hundred dollars. Ouch.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Bulgaria was sucking on Charlie's chocolate if you get what
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: us Yeah, waiting crash. Bulgaria doesn't care about that.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: They don't get that sense right.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: But you mentioned, uh, what was it Stealth's rotten tomato scores. Yeah,
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: the Tomato Meter with one hundred and forty nine reviews
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: for Must Love Dogs, where are we thinking the critics landed.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say, gotta be rotten. I'm going to
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: say fifty four.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, no, I bet you it's because
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: he's talking about Stealth. I feel like it might be
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: lower than that. I'm going to say twenty eight.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: You're kind of in the middle thirty nine percent in
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: case where it landed not fresh at all.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised by that.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: But with over one hundred thousand reviews by the average
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: day Joe, the Popcorn Meter for Must Love Dogs what
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: do we think this is landing at fifty four percent,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I'll say sixty one. Brandon, you're very polite. That's the
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: most kind thing you've ever said about a drop.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: I was actually that was me really thinking about the audience.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: The audience comes in at a dead in the middle
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: fifty percent.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm surprised by that because this I don't just
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: don't think gets that offensive.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: I don't you know why I thought it'd be higher?
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Is I feel like in the sort of the reason why,
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: like I'm giving a ship, But it is like, I think,
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: when you see a movie like that, you should know
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: what you're like, you should know what movie this is. Yeah,
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: So I'm shocked at people like, I don't know how
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: you could be disappointed, And I get like.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I read a little bit of Variety's review and the
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: first line of it is like, in order to enjoy
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: must love dogs, you have to love John Cusack.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Right, And that's my first problem.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you many like you should know what you're
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: getting into for this, and it's it's hard to imagine
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: your expectations being so inflated that you're disappointed in it.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I think the only reason you should be pissed is
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: let's say you've already seen this and then a podcast
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: makes you watch it again. You know, the variety. I
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: don't agree with variety because I think I feel like
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: this is Diane lane movie more than anybody's thank You,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: and I feel like if it wasn't for her, I
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: probably really wouldn't like it. But there is some kind
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: of thing with her character.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: But like maybe that's where the disappointment is is that
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: it's actually Diane Lane's movie and you're thinking about like
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Under the Tuscan Sun, Unfaithful, these other movies that you
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: guys have mentioned, and then you watch this and it's not.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Which I don't I don't know some of those done
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: before this.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah they were, they were uh pretty much all done
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: before this.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: But I my I think my big thing is is like, yes,
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: it's predictable. Yes, I felt like there was a lot
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: of cheesiness and stuff. I just really didn't like many
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: of the characters, Like I didn't like John Cusack and
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: his kind of just I don't know, like from the
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: moment they meet, From the moment they meet, it's not
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: this like opposites attract kind of thing to me. The
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: guy that's his buddy is I didn't. It just seemed
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: very clichy and I don't know.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Ago.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but like.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: He it had been better with Jack Black in that role.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess the thing is like it's not even
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: like funny when I think they want it to be funny.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: And then Dermott Maroney, he, I mean, I get you
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: have to have some kind of thing in there, but
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I hear that that Love Affair didn't
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: really do it for me either. Maybe it's because like
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: he's like, I just felt like you already know that
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: something is up. Like I get you can fall for
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: a guy like that, Yeah, understand, But even the way
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: that it goes and the way she decides to go
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: back to him, and then all of a sudden there
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: is like, oh, you know what I do miss Jake
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: and stuff, it's just so like ugh. But but let
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: me tell you guys something, I don't think I just
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: hate Love and rom Comms because there's another movie that
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Dermott Maroney is in that I let me tell you
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: it is not a good movie, but it is one
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: that I can put on, especially during this time, and
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: there's some kind of what do they call it? You
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: know it's not you know it's not good, but you
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: enjoy it anyway. Yeah, guilty pleasure is the wedding Date
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: with him and Debora Messing. Anybody's seen that one?
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Nope?
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: No, I know what it is and it exists. But
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: now that's when I've I've passed on.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Dermott Maroney will always be in my heart for being
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: in about Schmidt who has a sick ponytail.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: So since I haven't seen the wedding Date, does he
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: get the girl in the end?
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's actually a male prostitute basically, and she hires
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: him because.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I think McConaughey wasn't available for this film at the time.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: No, look the budget up for Wedding Date. No, they
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: can'tnot Ward Matthew McConnell.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Did you not hear him say?
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Dermott mulroney and Deborah Mess they were the stars.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: That's that's the grace of willing grace. She was a
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: big deal in two thousand and whatever year that movie
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: came out.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: But Dermott Maroney was also in My best Friend's Wedding
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: with Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Does he get the girl there? Because it seems like
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: everything I see him in. He doesn't get the girl.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: I haven't well he gets her in he gets her
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: in wedding Date. I'll tell you that he was.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: He didn't get her a new girl.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, he's been in like the New Scream, the
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: New Scream.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Movie, no spoilers, but he's not he's not a good
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: person Scream.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: And he was just in something else. He's in one
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: of the Well, he was in Gymstones.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: He was in two horror films where he was part
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: of the kill. Yeah. Yeah, forget what the other one was,
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: but they were right. They were like back to back
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: basic Thanks No, it wasn't Thanksgiving.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Is he in that one?
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I don't think he was in Thanksgiving? Was Patrick Dempsey? Right?
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: That's mix Steemy In case anybody's keeping.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Up, Okay, okay, glad.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Anyway, I just wanted to say it's not that I
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: hate it. I just feel like, even within the within
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: the the world of this kind of genre where yes,
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: what you see is what you get, I just felt
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: like it could have been a little more interesting. There
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: could have been more chemistry, it could have been actually funny,
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: and I didn't get I didn't get any of that,
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: and then like the way they the way that they
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: end up getting together, and then like that stupid cookout.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Uh can I say? And I told Stony this, I
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: was probably shocked the most to see Christopher Plummer in this,
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: and I just thought, what what is he doing here?
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: And then for me, that conversation between Diane Lane and
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: him about how he's already had the love of his
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: life and he's just kind of tapped dancing through. I
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: just thought, you know what, that's.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: I love that scene where he met John Cusack's character
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: and they had the conversation about.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: With the boat.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought that was There were times where I
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: felt like this was a pretty poetic script, and that
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: was one of those moments where I was like, oh,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: this is this is good shit right here.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: I thought it was cute. But then like he goes
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: back and says that, and then like she catches it
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: and he's like, yeah, I met this young man he
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: builds boats, and I'm just like, just just go be
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: with that muppet and let's let's end this thing. So anyway,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: but the dogs are really cute.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for the like four minutes they're in the entire film. Correct, Yeah, correct,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I feel must love dogs walked, so because I said
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: so could run because they're essentially the same film to me,
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: but because I said so is much much better.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I don't either.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: That's the Diane Keaton one.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore where she she is. Mandy
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Moore's character is set up through online dating by a
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: family member, this being her mother, they're not her sister,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: and then there's two guys that she has to fight,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: fight over and decide which one she loves or wants
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: to be with.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: I remember seeing that. I don't think I really liked
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: that one either.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think I ever saw that one.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: I like the Family Stone with Diane Keaton and Rachel mcaddey.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I haven't watched that in a while.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: That would like everything with Diane Keaton.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: That too.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Did you like that one she was in with Kathy
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: Bates where they go to that summer camp.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm huh.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a real dyane.
• 29:29

  Speaker 4: You said you loved everything she was in. I'm telling
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: you she's in a drumb camp movie.

• 29:39
  Speaker 3: before fairly recently. I know what you're talking about. I
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: haven't seen it.

  Speaker 3: Bryce two and a half stars. He eloquently puts this,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: to be honest, in this movie where without John Cusack,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I probably wouldn't have liked it.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Hmm, how about that. Yeah, Brandon's busy right now.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Sorry, good, let me get my positive John Cusack out

  Speaker 3: thousand and five John Cusack so bad.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, Man, I loved him. It was. It was.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: There was a gravitational pool with him because he was
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: clearly an intelligent guy, clearly witty, eloquent, and I just man,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: as soon as he was on one about the boats
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: and people not appreciating the craft the woodwork anymore, I
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: was like, Man, I sucked his dude's dick. Exactly what
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I was thinking. I did type in my notes, Uh
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: the most. I was trying to type the most fuckable
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: John Cusack, and it auto corrected it to suckable and
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: the same.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: Thing, Yeah, the same thing, same energy. Uh.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought he was great. I thought he had
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: charisma in this one, which is atypical of his performances
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: that I've seen so far.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: He had it once, Yeah, it several times, but that's
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: a whole I mean.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Like once upon a time, not like only in one movie,
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: but I think it's dried up by the time we
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: get two. Uh of us love Dogs. I just watched
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: a man pull a beard here out of his nose.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: It's apparently it got stuck.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I've got some some something going on with my mustache.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I would say in his earlier in his
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: earlier days, gross point blank.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: High fidelity say anything.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Say anything, stuff like that, But yeah, not in two
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: thousand and nine.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: High Fidelity is the only one of those movies that
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: I've seen. So what I'm what I'm thinking is I'm
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I better get the box tissues out and go back
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: and watch.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you need to Yeah, just start there, the
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: tissue and the lotion. When when when John Cusack was cool?
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: I but I uh, I I liked I think he
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: added to this to this movie, and I think it
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: was it was a weird dynamic between him and Diane Lane,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: and I think that I kind of liked that. I
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: kind of fucked with it.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: See you know what, I didn't mind that because it
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: did feel a little different than just like but then
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: it's it's almost like it's it's it just falls back
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: into that kind of the the tropes of just like
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: here's the dream guy, and he's not actually the dream guy.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: And then this guy that's like I'll never see this
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: prick again ends up being the nice one. So it's
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: kind of like, if you know where it's going, it's
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: got like it's for me. It's gotta be like enjoyable
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: through that process, and I found Diane Lane to kind
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: of be that for me. And like I said, a
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: scene or two with Christopher Plumber, I didn't like Elizabeth
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Perkins character. I didn't think she added much to it.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: It just seemed like everybody said the same stuff over
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: and over.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: So yeah, and then I believe I found uh Brandon's
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: letterbox doppelganger here Chade and Bobie.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: That sounds like it.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Booby's yeah, gives must Love Dogs two and a half
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: stars and says, just imagine choosing John Cusack over Dermot mulroney,
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: I like, he says, I like Cusack looks like a sad,
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: swollen muppet, and Mrony is just so damn fine. I
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: can't comprehend.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: Here's the thing, here's the problem, swollen muppet is all.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: Here's the thing, though. I but within the confines of
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: this movie, Dermott Moroney is a bastard, like he knows
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: he looks good and he knows that he can get
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: away with it. So why would someone like Diane Lane's
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: character want to be with him? If I was Diane Lane,
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: I would I wouldn't date any either one of those.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: I date my dad, Christopher Plummer.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: That yellow rose because I was about to.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: I date Christopher Plumber. Yeah, she had she had the
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: right manner whole life.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: That's what they should have. They should have swamped roles.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Christopher Plumber plays John Cusack.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Yes, John Cusack plays Yeah, I would believe it.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: And Joan Cusack plays Dermott Malroney or just.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Keep it the same and say must love incest.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: There's your there's your cold.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Yep uh. Lastly, for Letterbox is sam Bam seventy two.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Sam Bam seventy two gives it four stars. I can't
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: say anything bad about this movie. It's a bit of
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: an everything goes wrong plot, which I hate. But John
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Cusack is so fucking endearing it doesn't matter.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: You you got to have John Custon says, yeah, flight
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: fandom like people people said.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: We've just said, like this is really Diane Lane's movie.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: But for some reviews.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, John, everybody got up after that movie because of
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: John Cusack soaked their couch cushions. You get it. I
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: don't get.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: How long it took me to make up like twenty
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: five different email addresses so I could have twenty five
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: different Ladderbox memberships to write all these.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: I hope John appreciates it.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm waiting for that follow on Twitter, John, if
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: you're listening, hit that, hit that follow.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: There you go, Come on, John, Come on John, you
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: can get Joan in there too.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: This is an award nominated film, believe it or not. No,
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: it was nominated for a Golden Trailer Award for both
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Best Romance Trailer Get the Fuck Out of Here, but
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: sadly it lost to Pride and Prejudice.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: My god, it lost that award. Yeah, Pride and Prejudice
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: is a very romantic trip. I'm assuming that's Kieren Knightley, right.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, the Kiera Kniley version. It's a little fun facts.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: This is the final theatrical movie written, produced, and directed
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: by Gary David Goldberg, his second one. Yeah, because we
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: lost him some time later, yeah, wow, and then and then,
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: according to Goldberg, he gave the script to John Cusack
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: and encouraged him to change any of his characters dialogue
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: to better suit him. It was a bit surprised by
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Cusack's response, who later sent him about thirty five pages
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: of new dialogue. Dang, if a man didn't get a
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: writing credit.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that should qualify for a writing credit,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: I would think.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: One would think.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: So, I'd love to know what that dialogue was before. Yeah,
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: that's where I met. That's why I'm one wondering why.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: I think this is how a guy goes from doing
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: a movie in the eighties to then his next movie
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: band in two thousand and five. Hey, John, can you
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: look at this and just can you rewrite it? Send
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: it back to me?
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, in his defense, Gary David did a
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: ton of television, Like he wrote practically every episode of
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Family Ties, which was like one hundred and seventy two
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: somewhad episodes. Plus I think he wrote for mash Even
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: and was the TV show Day by Day which had
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: a young Julia Lewis Dreyfus on it. That was an
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: underrated show. I loved that show from the was that
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: late eighties. So yeah, he had a ton of television credits.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Just not you know some stuff.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: He's not the nobody that were basically, well.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: I mean I think we all know that if you
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: can't make it in film, you're a nobody, is that right? Yeah,
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: David Higgins Clark is a nobody to me.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: He wrote one hundred and forty five episodes of Spin City.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: The creator for the show never heard of it. So yeah,
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: Michael J.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Fox firmly, he's being facetious, firmly, firmly entrenched in the
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: television world.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Well, he started with mash so he was like eighteen.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know how old he was when he passed.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: Sadly, okay day he died right after the box office.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Just stop.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: He passed seven years later. He was born in nineteen
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: forty four and passed in twenty thirteen.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: My notes are wrong, could.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Could not, could not help, Like you have notes.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: Lost to stealth, goodbye.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: And pride prejudice. I'm out, well at.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: Least you, I mean you, Mike could hang your hat
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: on that one stealth and skyhigh. You.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: So the dog mother Teresa, which is the one dog
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: that's prominent in the film and seen in the poster,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: was played by two dogs. Six month old Newfounlon puppies
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: and both of Yeah, and we see them.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought I thought a human was in there.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, both of them. Speaking of dogs, my dog
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: has risen from the dead on the couch here.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: I actually asked that question the way my son asked
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: me questions.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, go ahead anyway. Both of the two dogs
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: appear at the end of the movie together in the credits,
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: and David Gary David Goldberg, the director, adopted both puppies
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: at the end of the filming.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: Then died after So who took the dogs? Who took
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: the dogs?
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: They found?
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the two dogs were trained by animal trainer and
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: wrangler Boone A Bar. If that's not a Hollywood name,
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the fuck is Boone Bars.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Isn't that Brad Pitt's name, character's name, and once upon
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: a time.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: So it could be for all I Knowugh, but Boone's
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: animals for Hollywood featured animals and TV shows including CSI,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: Ugly Betty, and Criminal Minds, as well as for commercials
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: for brands like Budweiser, Disneyland, and McDonald's.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Every damn everything about everybody involved in this movie. Being
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: so linked to television probably tells you this movie should
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: have just been on television.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: Probably, you know how sometimes HBO just releases their own movie.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: Were you watching on a Saturday night?
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, I listen. I like the movie, but it's
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: just I'm like starting to see why.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: From them writer direct to the dogs. Everybody really blogs
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: on TV.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah this, yeah, but they got John Cusack and Diane Lane.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they had to roll with it. Oh my god.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: Oh I did not think this would be as much
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: fun as it is. But honestly, the breakthrough was knowing
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: that director died. We've been riding high ever since.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: The Trainer Boon Bar. His first feature was Training and
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Handling the Orangutane Clyde and Clint Eastwood's any which way
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: you can, Yes, damn yes, legend Stony. I doubt you've
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: seen that movie, but that movie is so much fun
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: to watch.
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: I want fun to watch.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: It's fun movie. It's not the best clean eastwood Field,
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: but there's a sequel to it too, so have at that,
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: all right? And that? Uh. The Newfoundland Puppy or dog
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: is the company mascot for Gary David Goldberg production company
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: called UBU, which if you watch certain TV shows at
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: the end when they go to the credits, you always sit, sit,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: good dog. That's where that came from.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: Oh I've never heard of that.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you never ever heard that.
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: I don't think.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: So man watch some Man for real for real?
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: So let me go back and so I watch all
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: the credits for Family Tizers, Spin City.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: For God, let me go to Spin City.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Didn't you play After America's Funny Videos?
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Possibly? I don't know.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: Uh. When Sarah dian Lane's character and Bob Dermot Maroney's
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: characters bump into each other at the dog park, there's
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: a table set up with an animal rescue group called
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Animal Avengers. This is actually a real rescue group founded
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: by actress Shannon Elizabeth from The American Again.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's she could have been in a movie.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah she could. She could have been the uh, the
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: teacher assistant or whatever that Darmitt Maroney fucks in his trailer.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well you know they didn't have sex. She
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: came over like that part was stupid too.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah. He invites her in like they're gonna have a threesub.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: Dian Lane says, I would rather die.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: I just oh, we're just having dinner you want to go,
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: Like he acts like it's a what Yeah, what if
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: doesn't he live in a trailer by the way, Yeah.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: That's why I laugh. Yeah it was. It was just
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: a fucking trailer.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for thirty million dollar budget, the best you could
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: do is a trailer park for the character's homes.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got Yeah, And now we're shitting on trailer parks.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: Well, I just mean he has this confidence, but it's
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: like he like, what if.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: M cash go ahead? Sorry, I don't know.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: I just mean, like, there's nothing wrong with trailer parts,
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: but I guess you're thinking, like it doesn't really fit
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: that character. So it's kind of strange.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: Well, he he's down on his look, you.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: Know, he's divorced. Divorced. Yeah, everybody's divorced in this movie.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: What if mccash is right and he wanted to have
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: a threesome? So like he invites Diane Lane in What If,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: she says yes, and then he just starts fucking that
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: woman and it's like, oh man, this is this is
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: a different movie.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: Now different.
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they show a dog there if the single
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: white is rocking, don't come and knock in? So this
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: is from uh the the movie's Wikipedia page. Uh. Diane
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: Lane took the part because she wanted to do something
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: different from her recent roles, which were kind of steamy,
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: and also wanted to keep the show the shoot local.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: She was extremely nervous about any improv that Cuzak added
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: to the film, and when John tried to make her
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: improv she thought, this is a quote from her. I
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: don't feel that confident. I start blushing profusely, and I
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: get all sweaty, and I don't I don't know, and yeah.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: John Cusack, that wiley veteran just walking down.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: Diane Lane writes the script and then show's up on
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: set and wants to improvise.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: And not get credit for uh. John was actually about
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: to do another film in Europe, but it fell through
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: at the last minute. He met with Goldberg and after
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: reading the script, they asked him to be in the film,
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: and impressed with the actors that were already signed on,
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: Cusac thought, that's a pretty good predigee predigee pedigree. Jesus,
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: I think I had a stroke, So I was kind
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: of happy to be asked to join such a great group. Well,
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: look at him being highly yeah yeah, uh, And he
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: said he always wanted to work with Lane and had
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: been following her career for some time.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: I I guess I see your points. I was looking
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: and she she did a few things to try, and
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: I guess must love dogs is kind of like lighting
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: it up. I mean, she already had done Under the
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: Tuscan Sun just a couple of years ago. But before
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: that was Unfaithful, The Glasshouse, Hardball, the Perfect Storm. She
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: was in My Dog's Skip, though no one told me
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: about that one. And she loves these dog things because
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: in nineteen ninety six she was in a movie called
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: Mad Dog Time. I bet that's good.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: Could couldn't tell?
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Mad Dog Time? Is that the sequel for Dog Day Afternoon.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: I'm looking it up.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: Let me see, Or is it a documentary about mad
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: Dog twenty twenty?
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's time for Spending Dogs.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: Well, hey, listen, guys. Gabriel Burns in it, Ellen Barkins
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: in it, Jeff Goldbloom's in it, Richard Dreyfuss is in it.
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: It was directed by Larry Bishop, and with six reviews,

• 48:41
  Speaker 3: the Uh sister played by Elizabeth Parkins. Okay, who do
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: we think could have played that character? I don't think

• 48:53
  Speaker 3: or reviewed a film.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, Oh, I don't think. Well, I'm gonna say then.

  Speaker 3: Neither to those. But I will say she is married
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: to a very famous and well known actor mm that
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know if we've talked about him on this podcast.
• 49:17

  Speaker 3: And it's not Rita Wilson.
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: Is it around the same age like Elizabeth Perkins.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: I would definitely say so. I don't know their ages,
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: but I would have to I don't think Kate Upton
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: is as supposed to age as are.
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: You thinking of the right person. It's Kate Upton, that
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: that woman that had all those kids and divorced that guy.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: Kate Upton is like a former Victoria's Secrets model.
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, No, that's not who
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about. It's the wife of Spielberg. She's not
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: He's not even an actor.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: I honestly don't know that I can muster a guess.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: Of someone that's that famous, because I parton may want
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: to say Goldie Hawn.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Bet Middler not that old, not that old.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: But Goldie Hawn and Kurter married. So let me hold on,
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: hold on, let me think of I'm assuming they got
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: to be a famous couple.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: Nev Campbell.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, hold.

• 50:37
  Speaker 4: Berry to Kevin Bacon, yeh, got it. Okay, I could
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: kind of see that. To be honest, I could.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: It might have been better to be honest.
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: She's in, Yeah, she's in like subpar movies.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, phenomenon something to talk about. Ye Heart and Souls

  Speaker 3: Born on the fourth of July.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, I've seen that one.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: I've never seen. Singles from the nineties.
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: It doesn't see it's a classic. It's a It's Kevin Dylon,
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: I's gonna be Matt Dillon. Don't mix those two and
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: Bridget Fonda and Bill Pullman, damn, Eric Stoltz, Jeremy Piven,
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: Tom Skirritt about that, it's like it's like the typical,
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: it's the essential, like nineties alternative music film. It's not
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: music related, but nonetheless, Okay, singles and reality bites go
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: kind of hand in hand together.
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: Hmm. Okay, that's a good that's a good comparison.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Yeah, that's all I have for this classic
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: John Cusack film.
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: More than enough.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: Even I can't say that the only the only quote
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: I have or something I enjoyed is just where I
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: think it's Elizabeth Park. His character says to Dan Lane,
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: where are your boob shirts?
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: That's in my notes too, that was where are your
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: boob shirts?
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: I liked. I like the way Christopher Plumber explained that
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: he was just tap dancing. I like that.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I when she's on the date with the guy
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: and she says he stopped loving me. The way she
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: delivers that I thought was it was pretty pretty brutal.
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: I also pa.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: She executed that scene well.
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: I can't remember if it's the first meeting between Diane
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: Lane and John Cusack where there's like a few dogs
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: running in the park. But and I this was actually
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: an I m dB. But Joan Cusack was one of
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: the dogs.
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: Let's get out of here.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Was that fine? What hey, I'll drink to? That was
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: the The ending is supposed to be a bit of
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: a nod to when Harry met Sally. The way they
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: got the people like interviewing them.
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: With Yeah, that's the vibe I got.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of.
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: I don't think you ever turned it ont They.
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: Were at a cookout and the credit started to roll.
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah was it after that?
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah? It's like a Marvel film. Man, you gotta stick around.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well.
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: They they load up the sequel to get you ready
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: for the sequel. Must love Cats, Must Love Cats.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: The last, the last note that I have for this
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: is that this film was a reminder that I will
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: die alone if my wife ever leaves me, because I
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: can't deal with it.
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: It does look awful.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah that is fair. Uh. I kind of struggle come
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: up with the Mount Rushmore question for this movie. So
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: because we've already done favorite John Cusack films, I don't
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: think all of us combined have seen enough die in
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: Lane films to do that as a question. So I
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: simply went with favorite dog movies.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: This one was pretty easy for me. Uh. There were
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: there were three that popped up into my head right
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: off the bat, Homeward Bound Marley and Oh So Sad,
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Best in Show m M. And then I had to
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: kind of look and see, like, Okay, what else is
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: out there? And then I realized that I'm a I'm
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: a Wes Anderson fan, so I'm gonna go with Isle
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: of Dogs.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: I I was kind of wondering exactly, like what is
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: a dog movie like? Because must love Dogs? Doesn't really
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: have that many dogs, So I I kind of went
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: both ways. I went I thought Best in Show was
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: a good one. Yeah, so I like that one. I
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: went with there's a movie called The Friend that came
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: out last year and Naomi watching Bill Murray. Yeah, that
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: was one of my favorites of last year.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: I want to watch that.
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I went with that one. I I went
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: with as good as it gets because there's a there's
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: a big part of it in there about the dog
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: and kind of the dog.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: And so the dog's on the poster.
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, him and Jack just them too, and then that basically,
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: and then I mean it was kind of tough because honestly,
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: in some of the ones I've seen, like I saw
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: like Seven Psychopaths was because of the dog. But I'm
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: I'm not counting. Yeah, I thought about that one too,
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: But then I I kind of went back more towards
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: like just the dog part of it. And there is
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: actually a movie that I thought was way better than
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: it had any right being and it has Channing Tatum
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: in and it's just called Dog. Oh yeah, where he
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: goes takes a dog with the military. So I'm gonna
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: go I'm gonna I'll go with those.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: That's good for As soon as I posed this question
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: my wife, she just screamed, Benji at me.
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: I thought about Secret Life of Pets the first one.
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: I like that one a lot.
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: But anyway, for my four, I went animated on two
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: of them. Uh. The Fox and the Hound is my
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: favorite cartoon of all time.
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: And then I followed that up with All Dogs Go
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: to Heaven, one of my favorite Burt Reynolds films.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: And then I went on the other spectrum with the
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: other two because I went in horror and one only
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: has they both only have one dog in it. But
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: I am legend that scene that's a good one. That
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: scene with Will Smith and the dog. Oh, it breaks
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: my heart every time. And then lastly, kujo hey there.
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: And I am legend I it was so Will Smith
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: slapped the ship out of that dog.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: I forgot. Uh, I forgot about that movie.
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: Did you forget about that scene?
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: I don't think I remember the scene where the dog
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: gets slapped.
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, no, that was the thing. They uncovered
• 56:47
