Oh, God. Oh, my God.
0:13
It would be not a cage match without the christening of a fucking Sparkle Buddy going off.
0:19
Also, speaking of Sparkle Buddies, thanks for being patrons and hooray
0:23
for our new top level tier patron.
0:27
Not sure what that is.
0:28
Yeah, Ira stepped on your name.
0:30
We're really appreciative of that.
0:33
We don't know what we're giving you for being in that tier.
0:35
Thank you, Ira.
0:36
Also, get fucked, Rico. Now someone pays us more than you.
0:39
I don't want to hear shit anymore.
0:41
I'm going to cut that.
0:42
Suck it. Suck it, Sean.
0:44
No, I promised I promised Rico a shout out where I was going to talk mad shit about him today.
0:48
Oh, did you really? Yes.
0:50
Oh, then definitely we're keeping that in.
0:52
How many how many patrons are you guys up to now?
0:54
We've got five patrons.
0:56
Oh, lovely. So they covered.
0:58
Is it five? I don't know.
0:59
We got more than that. No, six. We've got six.
1:01
Yeah. Yeah. Because there's that Matt guy.
1:03
Yeah, Matt. Yeah.
1:06
Just talk dismissively about our patrons.
1:08
Yeah. Now we got who fucking cares.
1:10
The people we like.
1:11
And then there's that Matt guy.
1:13
And now we got Ira. Thanks, Matt.
1:15
Yeah. Fuck you, Jeremy.
1:18
I don't think Jeremy listens.
1:19
I sort of feel like.
1:20
Wait, my friend, Jeremy, he does not.
1:23
Yeah, see.
1:25
Neither does Andy.
1:26
I'm sad about that one.
1:27
He'll catch up one day on a road trip.
1:29
Yeah. I don't know.
1:30
Andy listens to us talk all the time.
1:32
That's true. He's he's done his time.
1:35
We don't give our best content.
1:37
No, that's right. Podcast.
1:38
Oh, yeah.
1:41
Yeah. Sorry, everybody.
1:42
I wish I could just be talking about eating ass for everybody here.
1:44
But listen, man, you can talk about eating ass.
1:48
Just going to get cut.
1:49
Didn't we talk about it last episode?
1:51
Well, we did.
1:52
Yeah. You and me, we did talk about eating ass and drinking piss.
1:54
Oh, yeah.
1:55
What fucking millennials.
1:57
So, OK, for everyone who's listening to this,
2:01
I had covid for the last episode, so they do a special episode about me.
2:05
And I'm just hearing all of this now.
2:07
OK, this has to do with the previous movie.
2:09
What was that one called?
2:10
The Humanity Bureau. OK.
2:12
You know, I was really worried that, you know, I wasn't I was going to listen
2:15
that like, man, do I not provide any of this podcast?
2:17
And apparently I do, which is to not talk about drinking piss and eating ass.
2:21
Listen, man, you would have been right there drinking piss with us.
2:24
I mean, I'm constantly down to talk about eating ass and drinking piss.
2:28
Just usually I'm not miked for it.
2:31
I think this might be our strongest episode yet.
2:33
Yeah, we're already pretty good. Let's wrap it up.
2:35
I'd like to thank our guest, Eric.
2:37
He was fantastic today.
2:39
Wait, we're not there yet.
2:41
Fuck you, Eric. Shut up. Shut up.
2:43
All right. Hello. Welcome back to Cage Match.
2:45
Colon, a roundabout way of meeting Nicolas Cage.
2:48
I am Sean here with Nick. I'm Nick.
2:51
And hi, I'm producer Peter.
2:53
And we have a special guest today, our buddy.
2:56
My name is Eric. I did covid too.
2:59
Yeah, Eric and I were covid buddies.
3:00
Yeah. How was how was covid for you guys?
3:02
Great. Ten out of ten. Good covid.
3:06
It was my first covid. Same.
3:09
Well, a great job holding out this far.
3:11
But I had a hell of a run.
3:13
It was it was fun.
3:16
I wished my family away and they stayed gone.
3:19
Yeah, you have a reverse family, man.
3:21
I did. It was great.
3:22
I started with the family and I ended up in my apartment in the city.
3:27
I don't know what to make of all this.
3:28
I thought we gave up talking about conspiracy theories with the 9-11 episode.
3:34
Bringing all your covid crap in here.
3:38
So today's today we have Eric on to talk about his favorite holiday movie,
3:43
The Family Man.
3:44
You know, it is.
3:45
Which he just got done bagging on to a second ago.
3:48
So this is going to be great.
3:50
We're going to have him recreate it since the microphone wasn't on yet.
3:53
Yeah, it's not as great as what I remember.
3:55
I'm not as excited at you know, after rewatching a couple of times.
4:01
What since I jumped in last week before we were supposed to record.
4:05
Got to rewatch again this morning.
4:07
It's a good it's a good movie.
4:10
It's just there's not it's not that exciting.
4:12
There's not that much there's opportunities for more slapstick,
4:16
but they just never do it.
4:17
So we're talking about that.
4:18
And Peggy Sue got married to pseudo wishful time travel films.
4:24
Yeah. So I mean, what I'm thrilled about is that it really does open us up
4:27
to the concept of multiple timelines in the NCU.
4:30
So really anything fucking goes.
4:33
It's phase four, baby.
4:34
This theory works.
4:36
Early and mid late well mid career early and mid career.
4:40
Similar premise that just happened to pan out with the seating.
4:44
And again, just another weird everything kind of lines up situation.
4:48
Speaking of the seating, Peter, what are we doing here again?
4:50
Right. So cage match.
4:52
This is a roundabout way of meeting Nicolas Cage, wherein Nick and Sean
4:56
are going to evaluate 64 Nicolas Cage movies head to head.
5:00
March Madness style, whatever you want to call it.
5:02
And we will determine the best cagey is most enjoyable rewatchable movie
5:09
that we possibly want to do.
5:10
And by the end of it, we're going to watch our favorite movie with Nicolas Cage.
5:14
Oh, I like how this is escalated.
5:16
Yeah, now I have to say that every time.
5:19
I thought we were just going to get tattoos of the movie poster on our butts.
5:22
But oh, yeah, I mean, yeah.
5:25
Well, I know you're in Peter.
5:26
It'll be your first tattoo.
5:28
I'm into that.
5:29
Awesome. All right.
5:31
Now there's stakes.
5:32
Yeah, it's going to be really weird when we meet Nick Cage now.
5:35
What's going to be super weird, especially because mine's a face tattoo.
5:39
Oh, no face on the face.
5:40
You need the face off tattoo with the with the crack being the split.
5:43
Oh, that would be amazing.
5:45
That's actually pretty good. Yeah.
5:46
So Eric, what's the family man about?
5:48
We start off with Nick Cage and T.
5:52
Leon. I'm terrible.
5:53
So Nicolas Cage plays Jack Campbell and T.
5:57
T. Leonie plays Kate Reynolds.
5:58
There you go. They're at the airport when they're college sweethearts.
6:02
He's about to go off to London.
6:03
She begs him to stay.
6:05
He goes on.
6:06
Cut to Nick Cage apartment in the city.
6:09
Not tidy, tidy blackies is what he's wearing.
6:12
The power undies.
6:12
Oh, yeah. Oh, while he's singing opera. Absolutely.
6:15
Hell, yeah. Living his best life.
6:17
I mean, he's just he did still keep it tight.
6:21
I'll give him that. Yeah.
6:22
He's in a penthouse.
6:23
What is far as Nick Cage bodies are concerned?
6:27
Harry. This was my first note from this movie.
6:29
Sternenbush.
6:31
It's bad.
6:33
We're tracked.
6:33
We track these films based on the amount of chest hair Nick Cage has.
6:37
You guys really don't want to see the spreadsheets that I keep.
6:41
So what? Nick?
6:42
Nick is what is Christmas?
6:46
He's brokering a big deal at his firm.
6:48
He's he's the president of the company or something along that line.
6:52
He's he's at least number two behind the behind the old man.
6:55
They break from the big Christmas meeting.
6:58
Hey, you know, yes, we're working on Christmas, but we're going to make a lot of money
7:01
and goes into Bodega to get some eggnog to dribble on his.
7:06
He's going to dribble that on his lady later. Right.
7:08
Oh, yeah. That was my favorite quote in this one actually was dribbling.
7:12
Nog. Yeah.
7:13
Well, so this woman is like he's oh, you should come back over tonight.
7:18
He's oh, it's Christmas Eve.
7:19
He goes, so I'll pour eggnog all over you.
7:24
Right. But I didn't know he was going to like he goes to the bodega
7:27
and he's like eggnog.
7:29
You know, you don't make fresh eggnog for that.
7:32
You don't go out of your way for that one.
7:34
Some people do.
7:35
And yeah, and I think you should, because that's the good stuff.
7:38
But she wasn't really worth it, I don't think.
7:40
OK, so he goes for the eggnog and that's when he runs into Don Chidell,
7:45
who is cash.
7:47
Captain Planet is Captain Planet.
7:49
Sketch was the best.
7:50
I don't know if you guys remember that.
7:52
I did. Tree tree.
7:54
You're a tree.
7:56
They're all trees.
7:57
So what Don Cheadle is trying to cash his lotto ticket.
8:03
His name's cash.
8:04
He's dressed like I thought he was trying to reaffirm stereotypes.
8:09
He was. That's why he was dressed like Jamie Kennedy in Malibu's Most Wanted.
8:14
There's a reference for you. That'll date us.
8:17
Which was great.
8:19
We're all almost 40.
8:22
Nick Cage comes in there, saves the day.
8:24
He's never a bad guy, right?
8:25
Why does he save the day?
8:26
Because he's going to cash his lotto ticket and the Asian bodega owners have a problem with that.
8:32
Yeah, he gets a racism and he's not allowed to cash his lotto ticket because of the racisms.
8:38
In their defense, he does pull his gun immediately.
8:41
Really quick.
8:42
Smoke your blunt first.
8:44
And then, you know, he's got the cigar handy.
8:46
I feel like this is an opportune time to mention this movie was directed by Brett Ratner.
8:51
Yeah. Famous of the Rush Hours.
8:54
Okay, I thought he also did Malibu's Most Wanted.
8:56
Oh, no, he's just a terrible human being.
8:59
I don't know. I love the Rush Hour movies.
9:01
I do too, but Brett Ratner is not a good person.
9:04
But Rush Hour.
9:05
Allegedly.
9:06
Okay.
9:07
That's how you can get Nick on board anytime.
9:09
Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's wiggle room.
9:11
Allegedly.
9:12
So Nick Cage stops the violence.
9:14
He wasn't going to rob the place.
9:16
He just wanted to cash his lotto ticket.
9:18
But he was going to go buck wild, I think.
9:21
And that's when Don Cheadle, he hints that he's magic at that point.
9:25
And he's like, you got something coming.
9:28
You got something coming, Jack.
9:29
He hints that he's magic?
9:31
Yeah.
9:32
Well, so Jack, like, you're not wrong.
9:33
I mean, Jack's like, you know, you shouldn't be doing this.
9:35
You should be like, if you work real hard, you can make something yourself.
9:38
And he does the whole white savior thing.
9:40
And Cash is just like, oh, you're trying to save me?
9:42
You got everything?
9:44
And Cage is like, yeah, I got everything.
9:45
And it's like, all right.
9:46
Well, remember, you asked for it.
9:49
Yeah, totally.
9:50
Then he goes to sleep that night, wakes up in someone else's bed.
9:55
He's got a wife.
9:56
The kids run around, full chaotic family situation.
9:59
It's Christmas day.
10:00
What if?
10:02
I'm just going to ask this question into the wind.
10:04
What if instead of seeing his life, if he had stayed with Kate or come back,
10:10
not gone to London, what if he just traded places with Don Cheadle?
10:14
And then we got a movie of Nick Cage just gang banging and living the struggle
10:21
while Don Cheadle gets to drive around the Ferrari.
10:24
So you're like trading places.
10:26
You're just talking trading places?
10:27
Yeah.
10:28
I mean, if we have to talk about trading places or Scrooge,
10:31
we're pretty much just talking about Scrooge at the moment.
10:34
OK.
10:35
His assistant when he's still like the big hotshot executive.
10:39
Oh, with the Mark Davis hair.
10:41
Yes, exactly.
10:42
That's Mary Beth Hurt, who formerly was married to William Hurt,
10:47
but then married Paul fucking Schrader.
10:51
Oh, gross.
10:52
So that's it's a trader returns.
10:54
That explains the haircut.
10:56
She can't afford a better one.
10:58
That was a five million dollar haircut.
11:02
That's the budget.
11:04
Well, what?
11:05
So where were we?
11:06
We're in a family scene.
11:08
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:09
Nick Cage is gang banging downtown.
11:12
Yes.
11:13
So wakes up in a house in Jersey,
11:16
which is terrifying for a man in the city.
11:20
Terrifying for anyone, really.
11:22
I mean, I've been to the New York airport.
11:24
That's my entire Jersey experience.
11:26
It's the worst airport that I've ever been to.
11:29
Hayden agrees.
11:30
He understands.
11:31
Is Hayden a patron?
11:33
No.
11:34
OK, we we actively bleep his name out.
11:37
Yeah.
11:38
He's had enough chances to be whacked out.
11:40
Yeah.
11:41
Ever since ever since he like stood behind me while I was watching
11:45
a leave in Las Vegas, he's persona non grata on this podcast.
11:51
Nick Cage wakes up in Jersey, freaks out, doesn't like it, runs off.
11:55
He's gone all of Christmas, which doesn't go over well with the family.
11:58
Tries to go to his old apartment.
12:00
Everybody's you're crazy.
12:01
He runs into Cash again in the Ferrari.
12:03
Cash has his Ferrari.
12:05
Has Nick Cage's Ferrari.
12:06
Shows him, tells him the rules.
12:08
You're going for a glimpse.
12:09
You get a little trip back to see what how things could have been.
12:14
And what?
12:15
Then he gets to live his life in Jersey for a little bit.
12:18
He hates it at first, comes around, finds it fulfilling at the end,
12:23
and then doesn't want to go back to the playboy lifestyle is is the long and short.
12:28
Yeah.
12:29
Yeah.
12:30
That's the film.
12:31
And it has just as many jokes as that synopsis.
12:36
They don't do much.
12:38
They don't lean into the comedy aspect of the weird like body swap.
12:42
They really could do a lot more with that.
12:44
I agree.
12:45
So here's my immediate question.
12:46
I can't think about body swabbing without penis swapping technology anymore.
12:51
Yeah.
12:53
Genital swap.
12:54
Speaking of which.
12:55
All right.
12:56
I'll just talk about this now.
12:57
Travolta was supposed to play this role at one point.
13:00
They have the same penis as we've discovered in episode one.
13:02
Yeah.
13:03
At least in girth and length.
13:05
Do you guys have have you guys ever met your penis twin?
13:11
I'm sorry.
13:13
What?
13:14
Identical dicks.
13:15
You've never.
13:16
I dictical.
13:17
Polydictal.
13:22
No, that's what you get as a thumb.
13:24
Oh, Jesus.
13:25
I don't like that.
13:26
How utilitarian it would become.
13:30
No, I think if anything, I just want like a hand on my chest.
13:34
I think that's what I want.
13:36
Because then it could like hold my phone for me and simplifies everything.
13:41
Sandwich hand.
13:42
I thought you meant that in like a tender way.
13:44
Someone just touching your chest.
13:46
No, no.
13:47
Just growing out of my sternum to help while I'm lacking off.
13:50
I mean, sorry, quacking off.
13:53
Family podcast here.
13:55
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
13:56
This is definitely for the youth.
13:58
Yeah.
13:59
So, but no, my question about any of these movies is there's been a Jack has been raising
14:04
a wife and kids.
14:06
The daughters, the only clue is into that this Jack isn't her dad.
14:10
What happened to that track in the meantime?
14:12
So is this a parallel universe or is it is it just like a coma dream?
14:17
I think it's more coma dream.
14:19
Yeah.
14:20
So there are no consequences to his behavior.
14:22
No, those kids only on his soul out of existence when he went back to his real life in the
14:28
city, right?
14:29
The kids were just no longer a thing.
14:31
It was a fever dream.
14:33
Which is, you know, and he leaned into that a little bit when he tried to do the affair
14:37
with with the lady that's always given him the eyes at the Christmas party.
14:40
Evelyn Evelyn Evelyn.
14:41
Yes.
14:42
He's like, Evelyn, give give me give me her exact address.
14:47
I'm going to start my affair now.
14:49
I do love how he said that.
14:51
Also, I love that Jeremy Piven is not the douchiest person in the movie.
14:55
No, he is zero, bro.
14:57
He's a good friend.
14:58
He's there.
14:59
What are you doing?
15:00
You're going to mess up a good thing.
15:01
Whereas, like, if any of you wanted to start an affair, I'd be like, let's do this.
15:06
I need this for you.
15:08
Let's let's make it happen.
15:09
Eric has lived vicariously through a couple of fair adjacent things I've been involved
15:14
with.
15:15
It's definitely all the excitement in my life.
15:19
Don Cheadle is a magical black man.
15:21
Oh, good.
15:22
I'm glad you said it.
15:23
Yes, he is a magical black man.
15:24
I thought someone already said it in this podcast.
15:25
I thought we were tiptoeing around the fact that he's black.
15:28
He does make magic.
15:29
I mean, is Don Cheadle not black?
15:32
You don't get to ask those questions anymore.
15:34
This is the 21st century.
15:36
Come on, man.
15:37
This is all getting cut up.
15:39
Almost certainly.
15:40
So Don Cheadle is a magical human.
15:45
He's probably touched by an angel.
15:49
Yeah, they didn't really what?
15:52
He's not he's not an angel.
15:54
He says, Jack, this impressed people high up in the organization.
15:58
It's just like, I don't know, he's just in like a super he's just got a supernatural
16:02
job.
16:03
It's got some great perks.
16:04
He gets to drive other people's Ferrari use.
16:07
You know, he gets to punk their asses in their Ferraris.
16:09
Yeah, he probably works for the TVA.
16:11
And this is actually tying Nick Cage into the MCU.
16:15
I got you know, there's variants and stuff.
16:17
I got it.
16:18
Yeah, we're there.
16:19
It's a low key thing.
16:20
MCU, NCU.
16:21
Yeah, it gets confusing now.
16:23
Yeah, it was never confusing before, but it's confusing now.
16:26
Now that Nicholas Cage is involved.
16:28
Oh, an all Nicholas Cage movie.
16:31
Just Tyler Perry's the shit out of it.
16:34
Back in our running days, what was the the movie universe we wanted to make with all
16:38
the Rob Schneider characters?
16:40
The Schneider verse.
16:41
Yeah, everything is a Schneider Schneider cut the animal, the hot chick.
16:46
Eric, why did you like this movie?
16:49
What?
16:50
Yeah, what originally made you so interested in this was a Christmas movie that my brother
16:55
and I would enjoy together every year.
16:57
And my brother, who is a crazy person, just loved it, loved it more than anybody else.
17:02
So so I don't know, we'd get together, we'd watch this movie.
17:05
And over the years, just really built up, built it up in our heads that it was bigger
17:09
cage, that it was more cagey than than it was.
17:12
But it's really not.
17:14
It's just kind of like, it's a solid family film.
17:17
It's also a solid two hours, which it didn't need to be.
17:20
Yeah, absolutely.
17:21
But like, I don't know, you know what he learned lessons, they were valuable.
17:26
He, you know, found out what he wanted in life.
17:29
I feel like he was forced to find something in life that he was fine not having.
17:34
Because as soon as he wakes up in Jersey, the first thing that happens is a giant dog
17:38
jumps on the bed, and then two kids come into the room screaming, jumping up and down.
17:43
It's Christmas. It's Christmas.
17:44
And all I can think is, this man has made every right decision up until this point.
17:49
Don Tito's character is an asshole.
17:52
I'm also the only single person at this table.
17:55
I'm just saying his life in the city seemed so much better than before he had kids.
17:59
Well, right.
18:00
And he spends most of the most of the film just trying to get back to life in the city,
18:05
try and integrate it into the family life.
18:07
Can I can I have both things?
18:09
Tries that out. It doesn't work.
18:11
Because mainly T. Leon was being manipulative there.
18:15
That was one of my favorite quotes. It was great.
18:17
She's like, I support you, Jack.
18:19
If you need the kids to give up a life that they love.
18:23
Oh, yeah. Good dig.
18:25
I was like, oh, man, this is a trap, Jack.
18:28
Don't do it. Don't bite. Don't bite.
18:31
I got a question for you guys.
18:33
There's a lot of pajamas in this movie.
18:36
Pro anti pajama.
18:38
I got a question for you guys real quick before we answer that.
18:42
Pajamas or pajamas?
18:45
I just go with PJs.
18:47
I'm not going to pick a set.
18:49
I would say pajamas, but I don't know why.
18:51
I do like pajamas because I like saying pajama.
18:54
Yeah, pajama.
18:56
But if you say pajama, you can act more Jamaican,
19:00
which I know you've been trying to do.
19:02
Yeah, no, it's the only person here with like skin pigmentation.
19:06
That's you know what?
19:08
Yeah, it's fine. I can say pajama.
19:10
Yeah, pajama.
19:12
Because we get me canceled.
19:15
Because we hope you like pajama too.
19:19
Okay, what was your?
19:21
Eric, what are you pajamas or pajamas?
19:24
Before we get into this serious question.
19:26
I want to be a pajama person, but I think I go with pajama.
19:31
Okay, when I have to, but I'd like to change that.
19:35
So what the fan?
19:37
There was a lot of pajamas in this movie.
19:40
There's a lot of pajamas.
19:42
It took them a while to get comfortable sleeping with the one that got away,
19:46
which I thought was weird.
19:48
This is your this is the one that got away.
19:51
I apologize.
19:52
She has the shower scene and he's just like, Oh, no.
19:54
Yeah.
19:55
I mean, she was really getting into it in that shower too.
19:59
It was a little much.
20:01
That ass crack is clean.
20:03
She she was elbow deep scrubbing that thing out.
20:08
She was committing to the shower scene.
20:11
She was frothing frothing that ass.
20:14
It's no nothing.
20:16
That ass is frothing.
20:19
Oh, yeah.
20:21
It makes a different sound when it's frothing.
20:24
More concerning one.
20:26
So what in the end?
20:28
He doesn't want to go back to to real life.
20:31
He has to go back to real life.
20:33
The kids are dead at that point.
20:35
Never existed.
20:36
Fucking terrible.
20:37
Yeah, it's really there.
20:39
It's children.
20:40
They both are and aren't.
20:41
You loved these things and they're gone.
20:44
Yeah, never existed.
20:46
Oh, I never could exist too at this point.
20:48
Oh, yeah.
20:49
No, that egg and those sperm are long dead.
20:52
Left in the womb of some some barren flight attendant.
20:56
Well, and that's where he goes back.
21:00
He finds her.
21:01
He finds her at the end.
21:03
He convinces her not to get on a plane to go to Paris.
21:07
It has that great scene from every film pre 9-11.
21:11
He just like shows up the airport and runs right to the gate.
21:14
Yeah, your speech.
21:15
And man, I mean, hands off to her for not being like you are a crazy person.
21:21
She did the same thing in the beginning.
21:23
Well, right.
21:24
But he goes into this alternate life speech.
21:27
It's like, oh, yeah.
21:28
Well, that is a life we could have had together.
21:30
How about the guy who was like just over her shoulder through the whole thing?
21:34
And he's just kind of like side eyeing back at them like the fuck.
21:38
Why am I still standing next to these crazy ass white people?
21:42
See, here's the only way that makes sense is if she also got a glimpse of like cash
21:47
pool double duty.
21:48
No, I think that she's just like, you've really thought about this.
21:52
We haven't talked in 13 years and suddenly you're talking about kids we never had.
21:56
And I'm about to go to Paris.
21:58
No, I'll stay and have coffee.
22:00
He paints a pretty picture.
22:01
I mean, does he?
22:03
Kind of.
22:04
But still, if I were her, I'd be like, he's crazy.
22:07
I'm getting on the plane.
22:08
Yeah, somebody takes him place.
22:09
He by like immediate when they first met and she's like, hey, maybe maybe you meet with
22:14
me in Paris, you know?
22:16
Yeah.
22:17
If you're in Paris sometime, say hi.
22:19
Yeah, I would have just gone on a plane.
22:21
Yeah.
22:22
The way he looked in that scene, too, it's like she obviously never expects him to be
22:25
able to afford to go to Paris and like a car heart jacket and stuff like you are stuck
22:30
boots on laced and everything.
22:32
I like that when he entered that apartment, the first thing he does is he just knocks
22:36
over a thing of marbles and then there's movers like carrying a couch out.
22:40
And Kate's just like, oh, don't worry about the marbles.
22:43
And it's like, what?
22:44
I can worry about those marbles.
22:46
Those motherfuckers are going to die.
22:48
That was a perfect time for slapstick.
22:50
She clearly doesn't care about her employees because it's Christmas and she's making her
22:54
ex personal assistant like, well, that's not her employee.
22:57
That's her ex employee.
22:59
You know what?
23:01
You're right.
23:02
I know.
23:03
That's why I do this podcast to be right at least once every other week.
23:06
The details, man.
23:07
Yeah.
23:08
What's your favorite quote from the film there?
23:10
Let me get to my note.
23:12
One of them was when he got the dirty talk wrong.
23:17
They're on the stairs.
23:19
They're about to do it.
23:21
They're covering cake.
23:22
Yeah.
23:23
And he goes with, you're a bad girl, baby.
23:26
You make me so hot, which I thought was a great try.
23:31
Yeah, it was good.
23:32
It's like that's I like that she gets like, what did you say?
23:35
Yeah, absolutely.
23:36
And he's just laying there like, you make me hot.
23:38
Yeah, that's hot.
23:40
Come on.
23:42
I'd say my favorite one is when he's back in his apartment in the minivan and like the
23:46
security guard isn't letting him in.
23:48
And Tony's a real day.
23:50
And then the woman he like the old lady he flirts with in the elevator.
23:53
Mr. Peterson.
23:54
Mr. Peterson's like, like, who are you?
23:56
Who are you? Well, we're on the court, a co-op board together, Betty.
24:02
And we fought side by side for garbage disposals.
24:05
And every morning we share quasi sexual witty manner.
24:08
Yeah, it's weird, too, because she's just like an old lady.
24:12
It doesn't seem like something in character for him to even be making those passes at her
24:18
because he's just so up his own ass.
24:21
Yeah, I liked it, though.
24:22
It was fun.
24:23
Yeah, just like what?
24:24
You know, when you get a lot of me in on that.
24:26
And she's just like, you couldn't satisfy.
24:28
I think that's just what is what rich people do.
24:30
You can you can flirt like really aggressively, just like having a work flirt.
24:34
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
24:37
My favorite quote came after Cash gives Nick the little bell and he's like, what are you
24:45
going to come if I ring this?
24:46
And Cash just looks at him.
24:48
So he gets home and he's got the bell and he's standing in the kitchen and like things
24:52
aren't right and he's just like ringing the bell.
24:54
And then the little girl comes and like says, I like it and takes the bell.
24:59
She's on her new bike.
25:00
Yeah. And rides away on her bike.
25:02
And he's like, that's mine.
25:04
She took my bell.
25:06
It's like, you said defeated man.
25:09
Hey, I need that back.
25:10
Your bell that summons the magical Don Cheadle and you're better than me.
25:18
Everybody knows that I'm full of woke speak.
25:21
Say sex worker, Nick.
25:22
Sex worker.
25:23
Oh, you're going to enjoy our sidebar episode.
25:27
I wish Don Cheadle could have been a could have been a pimp.
25:30
Oh, man.
25:31
I would win two on the nose.
25:33
I do.
25:34
I do like that when he's like first getting in with that.
25:36
If he had gone from gangbanger to pimp, it's just like, wait a minute to, you know, bodega
25:42
clerk.
25:43
I do like when he's first getting in with the kids though.
25:45
And he's just like, you're not going to start crying.
25:47
I don't think I can deal with that right now.
25:50
Yeah.
25:51
That little girl was cute.
25:52
Yeah.
25:53
She stole scenes.
25:54
Yeah.
25:55
No, this was this is definitely in the good kid camp along with handpan.
25:58
Yeah.
25:59
Pan pan in this kid.
26:00
Pretty good.
26:01
Oh, I did have to see a little kid pee out of his penis though.
26:04
Oh, yeah.
26:05
That was authentic.
26:06
Yeah.
26:07
They were straight on.
26:08
Do that.
26:09
So did anyone find out how long he was glimpsing for?
26:12
It seemed like a long time.
26:13
Yeah.
26:14
It took him a while to learn his lesson.
26:15
Like the better part of it.
26:16
He did like most of a bowling league.
26:18
Yeah.
26:19
So it was eight weeks because it was between Christmas and it was right after Valentine's
26:23
Day.
26:24
That seems like an adequate amount of time to learn such a large life lesson.
26:28
Again, I don't learn things quickly.
26:31
He needed the lesson is that Jeremy Piven is a fucking bro.
26:35
Dude.
26:36
And how cool was his little like home bar and everything?
26:39
He had like little titty mugs and stuff like that in the back.
26:42
Yeah.
26:43
Jack was not adequately impressed.
26:44
Yeah.
26:45
Jack.
26:46
Man.
26:47
Jeremy's like, check this out.
26:48
This is a proper dude war.
26:49
Yeah.
26:50
And Jack is just like, yeah, yeah, cool.
26:53
Cool room.
26:54
Yeah.
26:55
Room guy.
26:56
Nice job, Arnie.
26:57
Yeah.
26:58
I like when he leads off and like Nick Cage is looking kind of like out of place in the
27:02
room and he's just like, I had to move the Barka lounger.
27:07
People were saying it was too weird in the middle.
27:09
Okay.
27:10
That obviously that's why Nick Cage seems so out of place right now.
27:15
It's because the Barka lounger got moved.
27:17
So when Jeremy Piven is just trying to go and like hug his buddy, Nick Cage is like,
27:21
I'm going to fucking punch you.
27:23
Oh, yeah.
27:24
Dude, I thoroughly enjoy Jeremy Piven.
27:27
He could show up in just about anything.
27:29
And I'm like, all right, I know what I'm going to get here.
27:31
I didn't this time.
27:32
This time he was different.
27:34
I rewatched the Entourage movie while I had COVID.
27:37
Oh, that's a choice.
27:39
It just happened.
27:40
I just the movie.
27:41
Absolutely.
27:42
You had brain fog for sure.
27:45
Oh, my goodness.
27:46
It wasn't a lot of fun facts.
27:47
No, there's really not much.
27:48
Like there was the Travolta connection, which I thought was interesting.
27:51
And yeah, eight weeks is how long he was in a coma.
27:56
Well, in a coma, he comes back on Christmas Day.
27:58
So it's not like he was there was never an injury.
28:01
It was.
28:02
I'm just saying that's how most of these movies go, including our next one.
28:05
Piggy Sue got married.
28:07
Good segue.
28:08
Sean, the master of segues.
28:09
Amazing at segues.
28:12
You guys only have to do one movie without me.
28:14
You don't have to segue.
28:16
I feel like we still did have a segue in our episode.
28:18
Probably was.
28:20
So Peggy Sue got married starring Kathleen Turner as Peggy Sue.
28:24
Nicholas Cage is Charlie Bodell.
28:27
And that's really about it for main cast and Jim Carrey's on this.
28:31
There were a lot of people in this.
28:33
There were, but yeah, none that played like huge part.
28:36
Who was your favorite third player in this?
28:39
Because you mentioned there was Jim Carrey.
28:42
Who else did you who was your favorite?
28:45
I really connect additional cast with.
28:47
Oh, man, it was toss up between Michael and Richard for me.
28:51
Michael was such an intense artist and Richard.
28:57
Kevin O'Connor, a dumb genius.
29:00
We do have Joan Allen back.
29:02
That was my picture.
29:03
I love Joan Allen, Archer's wife and face off.
29:06
Fuck yeah.
29:07
Yeah, like she's back.
29:08
And in Left Behind.
29:11
She was in Left Behind, too.
29:13
Yeah.
29:14
Remember, she was the wife who got abducted.
29:16
I mean, she didn't take it away.
29:18
Yeah.
29:19
I mean, she just complained about her daughter not being Christ loving enough
29:23
and then disappeared.
29:24
God bless you, Joan Allen.
29:26
He did and took her away.
29:30
So, yeah, that was a fun one.
29:32
I mean, like there's so many people on this.
29:34
Yeah.
29:35
This movie's got a lot of people.
29:36
So it's directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
29:37
So it's got Sophia Coppola in this.
29:39
That was my favorite.
29:41
Every movie she's in just proves more and more how she can not act.
29:44
She can't.
29:45
Oh, my God.
29:46
She's a great director or at least a fine director.
29:48
But she's a director as an actor.
29:51
I'm going to walk that one back.
29:52
Did she act in this one?
29:53
Did she?
29:54
Yeah, she was on a little bit.
29:56
Oh, did she act?
29:57
OK, that's a loaded question.
29:59
I'm just saying I don't really remember any lines.
30:01
Oh, no.
30:02
My favorite line of hers was when Peggy Sue comes back, sees Nancy,
30:07
the youngest Sophia's character, and she's like, oh, so happy and like hugging her
30:12
and everything.
30:13
And Sophia is just like, teenagers are weird.
30:17
That was a great read.
30:19
That was actually really good.
30:20
That was actually better acted than Sophia Coppola.
30:23
Yeah, I know.
30:24
I bring this kind of energy to the table.
30:26
So the whole premise of this film is Peggy Sue is going to her 25th high school reunion.
30:31
Which is an odd number.
30:33
Yeah.
30:34
Do they do?
30:35
Is that did that used to be a thing?
30:37
I've never been invited to one, so I don't know what the actual.
30:41
I was going to ask about that.
30:42
You can probably get one every year if you really want to try.
30:45
Yeah.
30:46
So she goes to her 25th high school reunion, taken by her daughter, Helen Hunt.
30:52
So life's going great.
30:53
Her date's her daughter.
30:55
She just broke up.
30:56
It's kind of like taking your mom to prom.
30:58
Exactly.
30:59
Listen, man, you didn't have mom prom?
31:02
Mom prom rom com.
31:05
Wait a minute, that implies they're going to get romantic later.
31:09
No, no.
31:10
These are the kind of adult documentaries I watch.
31:13
They're wingman.
31:14
We've all been on Pornhub.
31:16
So life isn't going well.
31:18
Her husband, Charlie, played by Nicholas Cage, plays it Charlie.
31:23
That's terrible.
31:24
Terrible impression of the.
31:26
God, he's so fucking bad.
31:28
Can we talk about the voice?
31:30
We will.
31:32
You're going to recap this first.
31:34
So her husband cheats on her.
31:36
She goes to her high school reunion.
31:38
He says he's not going to show up because it's so important to her.
31:40
He shows up and then she is around reunion queen and while on stage has a heart episode
31:48
and then wakes up back in high school.
31:51
I do like how they subvert the whole adults playing teenagers thing by just not even pretending
31:57
that they're not adults playing teenagers in the film.
31:59
Oh, yeah. They just go for it.
32:01
Well, because they're adults at the beginning of the film.
32:03
I think they just made everybody look a little older for the beginning so that they could
32:08
just play their own age as teenagers later.
32:11
You know, it's like, well, you look younger.
32:13
I got to say, like I baby powder in here.
32:15
Yeah, right.
32:16
I mean, it's hokey the way they do old aging, but there's a part of me that really appreciates
32:21
that versus like digital ageing or aging.
32:24
Yeah, I'm kind of I don't love the digital stuff.
32:28
But Disney has been really involved in.
32:30
Yeah. And you know what, Disney, you do you.
32:32
You don't want to see a geriatric Harrison Ford play a geriatric Harrison Ford who looks 20.
32:39
I mean, I'll take it because I fucking love the Indiana Jones movies.
32:42
But an 80 year old running doesn't look like a 20 year old running as evidenced in Nick Cage's fight scenes last week.
32:50
For those of you who aren't Sean and know what I'm talking about.
32:54
I haven't heard it yet. Sucker.
32:56
But yeah, so she wakes up and she's back in high school in her senior year before she married Charlie and gets to do it all over again.
33:05
But knowing what the future holds, she invents pantyhose to try and make a quick buck.
33:10
She will. She spouts off all these ideas.
33:13
I don't think she ever actually accomplishes anything.
33:16
She's I mean, the only thing that really matters is we have a reverse big situation where she sleeps with a teenager.
33:21
Fuck yeah.
33:22
OK, so because you because you brought up big now, I'm kind of I'm into this.
33:27
Hang on, hang on.
33:29
But the production's life of this movie is weird because it was in production for a really, really long time before it ended up going to Francis Ford Coppola.
33:36
And originally, it was going to be a Jonathan Deming movie, which would have been a very interesting, probably better movie.
33:42
Francis Ford Coppola made Jack. Yeah.
33:45
So it's kind of like the same thing.
33:47
Kind of. But then he ended up having these creative differences and then it went to Penny Marshall, who was the director of big and League of their own.
33:57
Yeah. Oh, this was going to be her first like major film.
34:00
Right. And the reason I got to see that issue is the reason I got taken away from her is because the budget start to explode and producers were like, we don't trust an untested director to make this film.
34:10
I don't know why it even needs that much of a budget.
34:13
It's a good point.
34:14
I mean, what was this? What year was the vehicles like managing the fleet for that drastically different looking vehicles?
34:22
1986. OK, 86.
34:24
Well, they did some weird stuff for this film.
34:26
So in the scene where she's like in the car driving through her hometown, which was Petaluma in Santa Rosa, were used for this film.
34:34
When she was like in the car back in high school driving through the town, it was a local.
34:39
It was a San Francisco radio station on the radio and they paid the radio station to change their programming to fit what they wanted for the film.
34:49
So that was a live broadcast in the film that she was listening to.
34:53
That's weird. Yeah, that seems so unnecessary.
34:57
I know it's above and beyond for sure.
35:00
I mean, it's Coppola. Yeah, we should trust him because he made Jack.
35:04
And he also remember that time Robin Williams had to buy pornos for the first time in that movie.
35:11
He also asked. He also let his nephew play this character.
35:16
Yeah. So Peter, you wanted to talk about Nick Cage's voice choice in this film.
35:20
Yeah, please. Can we talk about that?
35:22
Because like the horny Muppet kind of aspect of it was really fucking me up.
35:26
I wrote down Proto Gary. Yeah.
35:28
So Nick Cage may have been playing one character his whole career.
35:30
He's got two voices. He's got bad Boston cop, which is for any regional like dialect.
35:38
And then he's got Gary voice for everything else.
35:42
And then Nick Cage. So yeah, he three voices.
35:46
I'm an arithmetician. He chose this voice.
35:50
He based it off pokey from the Gumby show, accentuated by the fact that he wore prosthetic teeth to have an overbite.
35:58
These are good choices. I like it all.
36:01
Coppola wanted to fire his own nephew from this film and Cage convinced him that this was a good choice.
36:07
You know what? Peter, Peter warned me about the voice.
36:11
And once once I got hit in the face with it, at first I was like, given a benefit of the doubt.
36:17
It was like this, you know, he's doing a high school version of himself.
36:20
He's a high schooler.
36:24
And then but then at the end, he is an old man and he's still doing the same damn voice.
36:29
So that threw that right out the window.
36:31
Some of us don't get the convenience of like having our voices age.
36:36
Some of us are stuck like this forever.
36:38
So I didn't realize the Gumby connection and my note for Jim Carrey's first appearance in this was Jim Carrey.
36:44
So young, not yet gumbofied.
36:46
But then he does do that shoulder thing when he's talking to the nurse or whatever.
36:51
Oh, well, I mean, that was like in the beginning, wasn't that like in the blood drive?
36:55
Have you guys ever given blood? I got a blood drive story.
36:58
Yeah, go for it. Oh, man.
37:00
So in high school, we had a blood drive and it was in the library there at school.
37:04
So I went and it's the only time I've ever actually been able to give blood.
37:08
So I did it and I'm sitting there. I'm like, oh, man, this is pretty neat.
37:12
I've never done this before. Would it be cool if I held the bag and the nurse is like, oh, yeah, you can hold the bag.
37:19
And so I'm holding it and it's just filling up with my own blood in my hands.
37:23
And I'm looking quite hot. Yeah. I mean, it's weird.
37:26
It's you think it would come out body temperature and you wouldn't notice it, but it's much warmer.
37:32
But I guess if you pee on your hands, it's about the same to blood is pee.
37:36
And so I'm sitting there like looking at this bag filling up in my hands.
37:41
And I look across and there's this girl who like they were just putting her feet up
37:46
and there like the little towel for her head because she was having trouble.
37:50
And I was looking at her and then I looked down at my bag of blood.
37:53
Then I looked at her and I just like slowly put the bag of blood up on my face
37:59
and I just like pretended to not on the corner of it while it was still filling up with my blood.
38:07
And so she passed the fuck out. She just immediately fainted.
38:13
And I just went back to holding my blood bag and then the nurse came and like took care of the girl.
38:18
And then I had a cookie.
38:21
You were like a national treasure and a crime at the same time. I don't I don't get it.
38:27
Oh, I mean, in the national version, we see does commit crimes.
38:30
Yeah. So that's the only time I've given blood.
38:33
I have I've donated blood and then ran a foot race the next morning.
38:37
That was good. And that was the worst decision of my life.
38:40
Remember that time you thought you could go running after you had a vasectomy?
38:45
That was nearly the worst decision of your life.
38:48
Good thing you have a wife to set you straight.
38:51
I don't know. Maybe not. He went to bed on Christmas and when he woke up, she wasn't there.
38:55
Neither were his kids.
38:57
It's true. I was home alone. I thought I broke my toe.
39:01
I almost locked myself out of the house when it was 11 degrees outside.
39:07
Yeah, it's dangerous not having a wife sometimes.
39:10
I think we could we could use Eric. We can remake home alone, but with like an adult man.
39:15
This actually tracks pretty well. You've got a little Culkin in you.
39:19
Oh, I just be in my PJs the whole time setting booby traps.
39:23
Oh, Marissa and the kids are terrified when they paint cans swinging from everywhere.
39:29
Yeah, it will be a more realistic story.
39:31
They actually come back from the airport when they're like, why the fuck isn't Eric here?
39:35
They go home to get you and it's already booby trapped.
39:38
And you're just beating the shit out of your wife without you knowing it.
39:42
Setting off fireworks in the house.
39:44
The local Facebook page is just going crazy where those fireworks are gunshots.
39:50
So Peggy's got my dog poop in my garbage again.
39:54
Peggy's got married. So she goes back in time.
39:56
The first thing you know, she's a high schooler.
39:57
First thing she does is make herself a stiff drink.
40:00
Oh, yeah. She goes straight for the whiskey.
40:02
She goes straight for the liquor cabinet.
40:03
I like that. She's like, they're like, are you drunk?
40:06
And she's like, that would explain things.
40:08
She was like, it doesn't matter. I'm dead.
40:10
She got right into it the same way.
40:13
Nick Cage got right into it when he went to that Christmas party in the last movie.
40:17
Straight for the bourbon.
40:18
Straight for the whiskey and just like two back to back.
40:21
I do give Nick Cage's character credit because it took him
40:25
it took almost eight weeks to finally sleep with his wife.
40:28
And Peggy Sue as a 45 year old woman was immediately like, I'm going to sleep with a 17 year old kid.
40:33
Tried to get with Nick Cage and then he was like, I don't know if I can handle this.
40:38
OK, hang on. We got to talk about that scene because that's my favorite quote.
40:41
Oh, obvious.
40:43
Do you want to do a reading? I have it here.
40:46
Do you have the whole thing? Yeah.
40:48
Oh my god, I kind of do.
40:50
Wait, no, I have. OK, I have part of that.
40:52
So why don't you do you do that part?
40:55
So and then we all say the line together.
40:59
What you mean? You mean sex?
41:02
And of course, you want to have intercourse.
41:07
Last week, he said, what time is it?
41:10
Holy cow, it's late.
41:12
And then I don't have all the exact quotes.
41:14
She's like, oh, I have to bring out, bring out lucky Chucky.
41:18
Bring out the love machine.
41:20
You're throbbing thrill hammer.
41:23
Your thing. Oh, I don't remember that.
41:25
Yeah. You mean my way?
41:27
You mean my way?
41:30
That's why in the movie, it was amazing.
41:34
And he's so terrified when he says it to my way.
41:41
Just he made so many great choices in this film acting wise.
41:44
When he sneaks into a room later in the film, the yellow, he's got the sneaky fingers.
41:49
Oh, what the fuck was that?
41:50
He was going to put a pillow over her face.
41:53
I totally thought he was going with the pillow.
41:55
And then he takes her down in the basement.
41:58
What's in the basement?
41:59
But no, when he's like he's on her like outside her window, like tiptoeing, and he's doing like these creepy, like, oh, yeah, extended, extended fingers like curling.
42:09
Sneaky fingers.
42:12
OK, we have to talk about her grandparents.
42:15
Yes. Her.
42:16
They mean the cult she gets almost sacrificed to.
42:19
I feel like that out of nowhere.
42:22
They were like, we need to end this movie.
42:24
Yeah.
42:25
We'll just like give her to her grandparents who just know what to do.
42:27
They're like, oh, this is fine.
42:29
We'll send it to the future.
42:30
We have Irish time travel.
42:32
I don't know.
42:33
That seems like a perfectly normal lodge activity.
42:37
I've experienced some lodge activities that had about the same amount of theatricality to them.
42:43
And I'm like, oh, yeah, it's not a lodge without a hat.
42:46
That's true.
42:47
They would perform these kind of just silly rituals as a reason to get together before they drink and watch stag movies.
42:56
They're still going to watch stag movies.
42:58
Yeah. Play cards.
42:59
Her grandfather did.
43:01
Why was that still the plan when his granddaughter was there?
43:04
It's like, oh, my granddaughter is coming around.
43:06
We're going to do this weird little thing and then I'll bust out the pornos and start playing a little hold them.
43:13
She can sit in the car.
43:14
She can serve us drinks because it's the 60s or whatever.
43:17
No, I actually wrote this down.
43:18
They were going to play.
43:19
There's a lot of part cheesy talk.
43:21
And I wrote that down because I wrote down.
43:23
I still don't know what part cheesy is.
43:25
Oh, it's the horniest game.
43:30
I don't know that we've actually talked about any of these movies.
43:33
Well, I was going to talk about something about this movie.
43:35
So, again, we have a reverse big.
43:37
So she she says, we told some jokes.
43:41
She says it's pretty good for us.
43:43
She says in the future she had a crush on this one kid.
43:45
He's in a poetry.
43:46
He wears a leather jacket.
43:47
He drinks coffee at night and corners cafes.
43:50
He also had a burrito at Disneyland one time.
43:55
That was the smart.
43:56
That was the smart kid.
43:57
The smart kid was just like times like a burrito.
44:00
Michael was my favorite is as far as the time travel trysts that she went back to revisit because of his endgame.
44:10
Do you remember?
44:11
Oh, yeah, he wanted to live in a commune.
44:13
Yeah.
44:14
Amory, baby.
44:15
I've got this other chick, but I love how immediately he just gets upset.
44:18
He goes like polygamy is legal in Utah.
44:22
Not polyamory polygamy.
44:24
Yes.
44:25
He wanted sister wives.
44:26
Absolutely.
44:27
And she's like, you love having this was 1986.
44:29
Sorry.
44:30
You'll work together and I'll be happy.
44:32
You can each darn one of my socks.
44:35
That's half the work for each of you.
44:37
I mean, that's a good deal.
44:39
But yes, I like every guy she knew when she was trying to change her life in the past was just like, no, let's get married.
44:46
You'll just be my wife.
44:47
Yeah, that's what she was fated to do.
44:50
I guess that's just life or relationships in the 60s from my experience as being a teenage girl from the 60s.
44:57
Yeah.
44:58
So when did you guys know that Richard was a genius?
45:00
Was it when he was going to write a book about kites?
45:05
I mean, they just told you he was a genius from the outside.
45:09
Yeah. But when was it really made real for you?
45:12
When did it sink in?
45:13
Because for me, it was when he goes, I'm writing a book about kite design.
45:18
Kites, huh?
45:19
Yeah.
45:20
Someone's got to monetize that.
45:22
That would sell really well on like the ocean shores kind of like boardwalk right next to a corndog.
45:28
Get your book about kites.
45:30
Yeah. No, don't buy a kite.
45:32
You're set to make your own.
45:35
Oh, yeah. Nick Cage does some singing.
45:37
That's where one of my favorite quotes comes in.
45:39
I think after he does a song, she's talking about Richard or something.
45:43
And he goes, who needs physics when we've got chemistry?
45:49
That is good.
45:50
It was amazing.
45:51
Speaking of his music career, I do like how she tries to like set him on the right course to have a great career.
45:56
They don't get together.
45:57
She writes him a song and then later on he comes like pretty good song for a first timer.
46:01
But it changed all the yes to ohs.
46:03
She loves you.
46:04
Oh, oh, oh.
46:07
I think the the scene where she's watching him with the quartet.
46:11
Yeah.
46:12
And she's like, oh, God, he's kind of good.
46:14
When he didn't she didn't expect him to see him play performing with the R&B.
46:18
No, this is the earlier one.
46:20
We love the secret band.
46:22
Yeah.
46:23
His secret band was pretty good.
46:24
That was pretty good.
46:25
But yeah, with the quartet themselves, I just I couldn't get over like one how fucking corny he looks.
46:30
And then to the ending to that song killed me.
46:35
Bye bye.
46:37
Yeah, I think that we now have an outro.
46:41
But man, he had some fucking moves.
46:45
His hips were doing things that my brain couldn't comprehend.
46:48
He was making love.
46:50
So at what point in Peggy Sue did she it took like until the end of the movie until she was concerned about her status.
46:59
Like in the past, you know, she she was in the past and she was just not.
47:04
Well, she thought she was dead.
47:06
Was that it? Yeah.
47:07
She like she the whole time she's like, I bet it doesn't matter.
47:09
And then they do the are you dead test when the smart.
47:13
The kite can't stand in front of a bus in front of a bus.
47:16
The bus goes through. You're dead.
47:18
Yeah. Good call.
47:20
What about much different film?
47:22
Just stand in front of a bus.
47:23
And that will prove everything.
47:25
That was his second book.
47:27
Or sorry, that was a fire truck. And I love the fire truck.
47:29
Oh, yeah. Just like doing that.
47:30
The like Austin Powers steamroller thing.
47:33
They're like, get away. Get out of the way.
47:35
She's like, no, just like that.
47:38
No. Sorry.
47:40
I don't know if I'm dead or not.
47:41
And so, yeah, eventually they this film she wakes up.
47:44
Apparently it was like a heart murmur.
47:45
She had like a heart episode.
47:47
So she actually was in the hospital when she wakes up and Charlie's there and she forgives him kind of invites him over for dinner with her family.
47:54
No, she chooses not to change anything in her life.
47:58
So this movie has a much more downer ending.
48:02
Oh, no, come on. It was great.
48:04
She like asked him if he was still with that bimbo.
48:08
And he's like, oh, like I got tired of of translating everything for like basically.
48:16
She was dumb and I got sick of her.
48:18
And like, let's get back to let's get back together now.
48:21
I guess she actually says to him, you can move back into your house with your kids.
48:29
Just open arms.
48:31
Just I don't know.
48:32
She had a stroke at the reunion and she's like, I forgive you completely.
48:37
Well, she just she went back in time and realized that just like no matter what, she was just going to be a housewife.
48:42
So might as well be a housewife to the pseudo celebrity, the appliance king of Charlie.
48:49
What did you think of his performance overall?
48:52
Chef's kiss.
48:55
I mean, he convinced Francis Ford Coppola to let him do it.
48:59
Oh, yeah. That's a great that's he's performed somewhere.
49:03
So Francis Ford Coppola, he saw that when it started and he asked him to stop.
49:08
Is that how it works? He hated it.
49:10
The crew hated it.
49:11
Kathleen Turner really hated it.
49:14
She didn't feel it was her job to critique another actor's performance.
49:19
So she complained to Francis Ford Coppola, who Nick Cage had convinced to let him do this.
49:24
So they just let it happen.
49:26
And she just let that play into her disdain for Charlie.
49:30
That's fine.
49:31
Well, then what? How did she get back to her normal time frame?
49:36
Because what? Grandpa was going to send her back.
49:39
They had sex.
49:40
And then Charlie.
49:41
Charlie Black.
49:42
Yeah, I love that.
49:44
She toss a bag over and throw her in a van.
49:46
That was such a surprise for me.
49:48
Well, then there was like a lightning storm or something.
49:50
And then she just woke up.
49:52
Well, like they had sex and her child was conceived.
49:54
So the timeline was fixed and then she woke up.
49:57
OK, so this is like a hot tub time machine situation where you have to keep the timeline accurate.
50:02
Yeah.
50:03
OK. Unlike the family man where those children never existed.
50:07
Apparently, when she went back in time, it did happen because the poet kid.
50:12
He writes a book about fucking her.
50:14
Yeah. Well, he like, yeah, he he dedicated a book to her, even though in high school they were they never talked.
50:20
That's the proof.
50:22
Time travels around.
50:23
Apparently, all you need to do is have like a heart attack during your 25th high school reunion after being crowned Reunion Queen.
50:31
That's totally real.
50:33
That had some fucking Carrie vibes to it, too.
50:36
I don't know if you guys felt that.
50:37
Oh, man. Yeah, I did not want them to leave the reunion.
50:41
I was having so much fun at the reunion.
50:44
If my reunion looks like that, so I'm pretty sure I'm not invited.
50:47
But like whatever I'd like to go if it's all cocaine or just like trying to sleep with.
50:52
Yeah. Yeah.
50:53
In high school, whatever, whatever Walter wants, Walter gets.
50:56
Hell yeah.
50:57
Whatever Walter wants.
50:59
Walter gets.
51:01
We talked about kind of the making of it and who was originally supposed to do it.
51:05
Apparently, at one point, Steve Gutenberg was considered for Charlie.
51:08
Would have been fine.
51:09
He wrote about this.
51:10
And here's the fun fact.
51:11
The fun fact has nothing to do with Peggy Sue got married.
51:13
The fun fact is Steve Gutenberg talked about this in his autobiography, The Gutenberg Bible.
51:20
I read that his autobiography is called The Gutenberg Bible.
51:24
I'm like, I'm going to talk about that on my podcast.
51:26
I have to buy that book.
51:30
So I thought that I read that Kathleen Turner got an Oscar nod.
51:34
This was her one Oscar nod for her one Oscar nominated performance.
51:38
OK, I almost I thought that she won.
51:41
But that's not the case.
51:43
She did not.
51:44
She was nominated.
51:45
That I thought was surprising enough.
51:47
I thought she did a great job.
51:49
I thought the performance was good.
51:50
Movies were in the 80s.
51:52
Yeah, it was fine.
51:54
Outside of the voice being an issue, apparently Nicholas Cage and Kathleen Turner had other headbutting
52:00
because she claimed that he was arrested twice and had stolen a dog.
52:04
Allegedly.
52:05
Allegedly.
52:06
I hope he sold that dog.
52:10
So, Eric, which movie do you think should go on?
52:13
Like, honestly, what I keep in mind that it doesn't matter what you think.
52:17
I came in with a clear favorite.
52:19
But like, I think Peggy Sue is more fun to like watch again and again.
52:24
All Stand By Family Man is like a good Christmas movie, overlooked.
52:29
But I think Peggy Sue is just more it's wacky.
52:32
All right, Nick, what's what's better cage film?
52:35
So the real opinions are that no, he's right.
52:40
Peggy Sue Got Married is a more entertaining movie to watch.
52:45
It definitely has jokes and doesn't take itself overly seriously.
52:48
Yeah.
52:49
What Family Man is only serious.
52:51
Yeah, it's not a lot of it like for it's not a romantic comedy.
52:55
There's not that much comedy or romance.
52:58
The Family Man.
53:00
It was a fine watch.
53:01
I'm glad I watched it.
53:02
And for a feel good holiday film, it's kind of a downer.
53:07
Yeah, I'm OK with that.
53:09
I think we should have more depressing Christmas movies.
53:12
We should go back in time and make we should make a Labor Day movie where somebody dies in the 9-11 accident.
53:21
And that's like how the movie concludes.
53:23
When does Labor Day happen?
53:25
There's a movie starring Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, where it's just about two teenagers in love.
53:30
And the film literally ends with him like going to see his father's office and he turns around and there's just a plane coming to the building.
53:36
That's a weird way for Twilight to happen.
53:40
I don't I don't know these movies.
53:43
I can only assume he's been in The Lighthouse, Twilight and The Batman.
53:47
Well, we did have a Harry Potter.
53:49
We did have a lot of Harry Potter.
53:51
What?
53:52
He was he was the one who died.
53:53
Yeah, he was. He got killed and motivated everyone to be like, oh, Voldemort.
53:57
Yeah. Before he was in a Twilight, he was in a Harry Potter.
54:00
So yeah, I think it's pretty soon got married is definitely the more entertaining watch.
54:04
Oh, my argument for the family man was to be like, it's more of an actual Nick Cage film, but it's not the better.
54:10
I would call it the better film.
54:12
I just don't think it's like more fun or like rewatchable.
54:16
Yeah. If I want to enjoy a performance by Nicolas Cage, I'm going to definitely choose the sex pest film,
54:22
which makes you got married.
54:24
The reverse sex pest film. And it's about time.
54:27
Did you guys get is that an allusion to the pest with John Leguizamo?
54:31
Yeah, so good.
54:32
The sex pest. Just Leguizamo on a sex journey.
54:36
Did you guys get to talk about the Mario brother movie?
54:39
Right. Yeah. Why not?
54:42
Do you see it when he gave it to that goomba?
54:45
OK, we're calling it now.
54:47
So that's your outro, Peter.
54:49
Our next episode is City of Angels against Kiss of Death.
54:54
That'll be an interesting one.
54:56
Hey, if you want to be a patron and pitch dumb ideas to Sean, you can.
55:01
That's not part of the SparkleBuddy tier.
55:03
It's part of the SparkleBuddy.
55:05
For five dollars a month, you can corner Sean at the bar and just tell him all your awesome ideas.
55:10
No, no.
55:12
So Josh. For ten dollars a month, you get his phone number.
55:15
You all can corner Sean anytime.
55:18
Ira, you get to text him late at night by being into the cage club.
55:24
Thank you.
55:26
Please rate, review and so hold on down below.
55:30
We've decided that five dollars are SparkleBuddy's is ten dollars of the inner cage.
55:35
Oh, the inner cage is good. Nice.
55:37
It's like inner circle, but cage.
55:39
There is totally an episode of Baywatch where Hulk Hogan had to fight Rattoradak Piper for the.
55:43

I got everybody a gift for having me on the show.
56:00
I hope you like covid. It's all I got.
56:03
I already had it.
56:05
I was really bummed when like things don't work out with him when she breaks up with him that he doesn't go and invent grunge music early.
56:23
Just go straight from barbershop to black hole sun.
56:29
Yeah. Can you imagine if grunge actually came out of central California?
56:35
Like it's just kind of sunny and shit.
56:39
Things aren't bad. It's like there's nothing.
56:42
It goes environmentally terrible.
56:45
It goes from grunge to smash mouth.
56:47
Yeah, just directly.
56:52
I watched the core the other night.
56:54
Did you really? Yeah, actually.
56:56
Yeah, we watched it last night. So it was our Christmas evening movie that we watched.
57:01
That must be after I left. Yeah, it was after you left.
57:04
It was pretty fucking awesome.
57:06
I could not believe there were so many people in that movie.
57:09
It's got everybody. I'm assuming this is a call back to the last episode.
57:13
No, no. Oh, because I know you and I have talked the core.
57:16
Yeah, I talk about the core all the time because we fucking rules.
57:19
And I was like hinging when I saw it.
57:22
And then I was like, it's two hours. It'll be like 11 o'clock when it's done.
57:26
Well, better just put it on.
57:28
And I did not regret it. It was so weird.
57:31
What? Why? Everything pays out.
57:33
Like, why do they end up with a huge fucking geod?
57:37
I don't know, man. It doesn't matter.
57:40
They get broken down and they're like, all right, we got to get out for a little while.
57:44
Yes, they're drilling to the center.
57:46
It's like, good thing our suits can handle this atmospheric pressure.
57:52
Welcome to Peter and Nick talk about the car.
57:55
So yeah, this is a podcast.
57:57
Our next podcast is going to be just us watching the core weekend week out.
58:01
Yeah. Next time somebody gets COVID, this is the plan.
58:04
We're just talking about the car.
