  Hey, everybody, Dando here. Hope you all had a fantastic holiday break
• 0:03
  and New Year's. We had an amazing time here in the Dando household over
• 0:07
  the last couple of weeks. It was just great. Now the kids are
• 0:10
  right into Santy, you know, they're three and five now, Holly in,
• 0:12
  Elliott right into Santa Claus well behaved. Can you believe it? And
• 0:17
  it was. It was just amazing though, in particular getting to spend time
• 0:20
  with Alliot because he hasn't me going to Dake. Everything's been shut down.
• 0:23
  I get to spend a lot of time with Alliott before he starts school.
• 0:26
  He starts school the end of this month. Can you believe it? Longtime
• 0:29
  listeners of this pod, you know, Elliot didn't even exist when the show
• 0:31
  started. And now the little bugger's about to go to school. Can you
• 0:35
  believe it? Guys, I'm going to be the parent of a child going
• 0:38
  to school. Dano, the parent of a child going to school. He's
• 0:41
  not bothered, he's excited. I'm scared. I'm you know, I'm just
• 0:44
  anxious. I'm just I don't know, it's just my little man's going to
• 0:47
  school. So, as I said, it was just great getting to take
• 0:49
  a couple of weeks off and just spend some time with the little man.
• 0:53
  We won't be returning to a regular program until next week, as you can
• 0:56
  probably tell from the title of this podcast, but we will be key off
• 1:00
  with a bang next week because every month now we're going to be going back
• 1:03
  and revisiting a classic episode of The Simpsons, because Guy, as you're well
• 1:06
  aware, was not around for the first ten seasons of the show. In
• 1:10
  the past, we've been going back and doing Guy on Springfield reviews for our
• 1:12
  Patreon, but now we're just be doing it every month, maybe a couple
• 1:17
  of months, depending on how we're feeling, going back and revisiting a classic
• 1:19
  episode. And we thought we start off with one of my favorite episodes of
• 1:22
  all time. It's Homer the Great I know right, one of the best
• 1:25
  episodes ever and it was so much fun to record. That. One's actually
• 1:27
  available right now early in ad free on our Patreon, so if you want
• 1:32
  to support the show, you can get access to that right now, as
• 1:34
  well as all the other exclusive podcasts we do up on there. But until
• 1:38
  then, though, I'm gonna be throwing up for you guys. This week
• 1:40
  A sneak peek at our recent Movie Guys review where we were joined by Mitch.
• 1:45
  Mitch now joins us for All the Movie Guys podcast once again, and
• 1:48
  for the first time ever, we're all in the same room and you could
• 1:51
  really tell the vibe, the energy. It was back baby, and the
• 1:56
  patrons voted for us to review Jingle All the Way. One of my suggestions.
• 2:00
  Each month we throw out two. I threw out two, Mitch throws
• 2:02
  out two, and Guy throws out two titles under a particular theme, and
• 2:07
  the patrons get to vote on which movie we do, and they generally choose
• 2:09
  mind because I feel like I'm on the same wavelength with our listeners, with
• 2:13
  all of you guys out there, and you guys voted for all the patrons
• 2:15
  voted for Jingle All the Way, which I was very happy with, and
• 2:17
  the actual review goes for around two hours. It was so much fun.
• 2:22
  But you know, obviously this is just gonna be a sneak peak, won't
• 2:23
  be the full episode if you want to get the full episode, as well
• 2:27
  as all the other Movie Guys podcasts, and as I said, all the
• 2:29
  other Slizzy stuff we do. I'm just gonna be a supporter of ours on
• 2:31
  Patreon. Another movie Guys we did recently was another one of my favorite movies
• 2:36
  of all time, Space jam I don't write how exciting is that? So
• 2:39
  you actually got to hear us talking about space Sham, which was a lot
• 2:43
  of fun as well. But there's plenty of movie guys reviews up on our
• 2:46
  Patreon. But yeah, again, guys, I've said this to you so
• 2:50
  many times in the past, with thank you so much for all of your
• 2:52
  support. I feel like I've grown with you guys. You know, as
• 2:55
  I was saying earlier a couple of months ago, that Elliott didn't exists before
• 3:00
  this show started, and now he's going to school. I'm just I've gone
• 3:02
  from a crazy little kid to a parent of a school child. And you
• 3:07
  know, it means so much to me that you guys have supported us for
• 3:10
  so long, because it means I was able to take a pun to myself.
• 3:14
  Last year was actually over a year ago now it was twenty twenty two,
• 3:16
  and turn this into my job, into my career. I pinched myself
• 3:21
  every morning that this is my job, but it wouldn't be possible about support
• 3:24
  of each and every one of you. And that's why I'm always chilling myself
• 3:29
  with the Patreon. But yeah, I just thank you so much for listening
• 3:30
  to the show over the last eight plus years, almost nine years now,
• 3:35
  Absolute legends, each and every one of you. Honestly believe me, if
• 3:38
  you're listening to this, I thank you. It really means a lot to
• 3:40
  me. But yeah, I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek at Jingle
• 3:44
  All the Way. We shall be returning next week with our review of Home
• 3:46
  of the Great which is already available early in ad free. As I said,
• 3:50
  I've on our Patreon, and we're going to be doing plenty of more
• 3:53
  exciting new things here in the fourthing of Discount Network in twenty twenty four.
• 3:55
  Lots of exciting new podcasts are going to be starting. I can't wait.
• 3:59
  You're going to love what we've got in store for you, guys. But
• 4:00
  for now, sit back and enjoy our little steave peak at our recent movie
• 4:03
  guy's review of Jingle All the Way. Have you ever bought or rented a
• 4:08
  videotape that wasn't quite right? It may have been a pirate copy and the
• 4:14
  leg and now our feature presentation. Can I kick off by telling people what
• 4:48
  happened when I was greeted at the house. What firstly, it's been a
• 4:50
  while since I've been here, and hello everyone, I mitched for those that
• 4:54
  knew our listeners to the show, firstly, you've got duel friends doormats.
• 5:00
  That threw me for a hour, although it did also help because it's been
• 5:04
  a while since I've been here, and which house is Dando's? And yep,
• 5:09
  how you doing? That works? And then as I was wiping my
• 5:11
  feet on how you do? And I saw it's like that's central perk that
• 5:14
  sitting beneath it and lifted it up and sure enough, yes, uh but
• 5:17
  the bit can never have too many friends, ah wholesome. The bit that
• 5:23
  threw me was I came in I needed to do a Wii before starting the
• 5:27
  recording. Now it's bedtime, obviously, so when the door was originally opened,
• 5:30
  it was like just hushed tones and I was looked at like scum for
• 5:34
  having the audacity to have knocked. How dare you so with that's whats pants?
• 5:42
  It's after eight o'clock, This motherfucker's knocking. Do you have a warrant?
• 5:50
  Quick marriage? I asked to use the toilet and Dando it turns out
• 5:56
  that had no toilet paper. Dando's first thing was to Nikola, can you
• 5:59
  please get some tissues or the box of tissues? That was get the tissue
• 6:02
  box, which was excited. I genuinely thought it was going to be a
• 6:06
  noise issue. I was like, does he want me to we into the
• 6:09
  tissue box? Like, is that is that where we're at? Is my
• 6:13
  two messins splashing into the bowl going to be too loud for your kids to
• 6:15
  sleep? That's that you're doing that Howard Stern thing where he's talking about how
• 6:21
  he went on and he wanted to impress his girlfriend. This this would be
• 6:26
  girlfriend. So there was like a little like a little bucket next to the
• 6:29
  doors only so we filled that and like jumped out the doors. I was
• 6:31
  like, oh my god, this guy must be huge. That's fantastic,
• 6:40
  that's so good. That's actually reminded me of I mean, in hindsight,
• 6:44
  probably a racist joke now, but of take us back to the good old
• 6:49
  days then West Indian we were quoting a lot of Eddie Murphy without doing a
• 6:55
  full set up. It was too West Indian cricketers end up having a whizz
• 6:59
  off of the yes off of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and one of them
• 7:02
  I think in this in the joke it was know, well, let's say
• 7:06
  it was Curtly Ambrose ridges in Curly Ambrose and so that on the harbor Bridge
• 7:11
  having a wee and Curtly turns to Viv and says, Jesus, the water
• 7:15
  is cold, and Viv says, not very deep either. I've heard that
• 7:19
  one before. I heard it in the old traditional, nineteen nineties racist Australian
• 7:25
  way though. Yeah, mine was that was printed. That was in a
• 7:30
  Max Walker joke book. Really, yeah, joke books. I am not
• 7:33
  surprised they still do joke books. I imagine you would. You would find
• 7:38
  them at the post office. Yeah, and be pocket size, wouldn't they.
• 7:42
  Yeah? Anyway, how are we? Let's just start this we hit
• 7:46
  a record, a review of jingle all the way? How are we all
• 7:48
  doing? Gentlemen? First time? And we actually worked this out since before
• 7:51
  COVID, we haven't all been in the same room together pre COVID. Once
• 7:56
  upon a time in Hollywood at Guy's house was the last time we were in
• 7:59
  the same room that was really close to COVID, wasn't it. It was?
• 8:01
  That was the end of twenty nineteen, yeah, or the beginning of
• 8:05
  twenty twenty one of the two, Yeah, because I know that when the
• 8:07
  I think the Watchables did a live review of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
• 8:11
  and one of them got COVID or something during the review, So like there
• 8:13
  must have been a really close crossover there. I'll see when it came out
• 8:18
  Upon a Time? When was that this? If you can guess, guy,
• 8:20
  I think, well, I'm not sure about the day, but I'm
• 8:22
  pretty sure it was the end of twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen. It says
• 8:24
  say the month fifth August, fifteenth August. Yeah, okay, it was
• 8:28
  a mid year one, wasn't It was a summertime release. Yeah, that
• 8:31
  means yeah, right, So that was right after me coming back from our
• 8:35
  Europe trip. Like one of the first things I did when getting back to
• 8:39
  Australia was apparently leave Ash behind to go to the movies with Tom. You
• 8:41
  had enough of her well a month, it's a pretty solid amount of time
• 8:46
  to only be seen like go to the three Hours you shouldn't have twice?
• 8:56
  Wait sure you watch all of those credits, then go see end all right,
• 9:01
  jingle all the way gentlemen. But before we get into that, I
• 9:03
  just wanted to just discuss what are we up to? What's someone doing for
• 9:07
  Christmas this year? That's a very good question. I know that I'll be
• 9:13
  going down to. This is very gelong centric content, as I say,
• 9:16
  our global network of listeners, but going down to the coastal town of bow
• 9:20
  and Heads, smugt Mary's that where she lives. No, no, I'm
• 9:24
  still here. But my elder sister Joanne lives down there, and she's got
• 9:28
  a new decking on the outside and a little bit of redecoration all over,
• 9:31
  so that only calls you piggy or whatever she does. Indeed, he's family
• 9:35
  calling piggy. And this was not a way issue because I was not always
• 9:39
  well fed, particularly pink one day. Did you get too much sun?
• 9:43
  There? Is that? I mean, I am prone not to tan.
• 9:46
  Were you a little slimy? I think it might have been a Lord of
• 9:50
  the Flies. So someone scratched your glasses. Yeah, I tried to steal
• 9:56
  the consent. I got thrown off a cliff. Life was tough in the
• 10:00
  Davis household. That fucked up, by the way. Lord of Fly Yeah,
• 10:03
  I know it's based in the book obviously, but like I'm watching the
• 10:05
  kid going, what I read this great? They killed him? This great?
• 10:11
  Take a drink, folks, because it's whenever guy says I read this
• 10:13
  great through on Twitter, that's I have. William Golding thought, you know,
• 10:18
  teenage boys were savages, so we wrote a whole book about it called
• 10:20
  Lord of the Flyers. And then there was this article about these boys who
• 10:24
  actually got shipwrecked, and you know they built like a gym out of you
• 10:28
  know, rocks and sticks, and you know. It was the first ever
• 10:33
  season of Love Islands. Pretty much this was f boy Island, except no
• 10:37
  chicks were getting effed. But no, I mean they all looked out for
• 10:41
  one another. One kid broke his leg and everyone looked out looked out for
• 10:45
  him. I mean Golden was like, oh, it's just a descent in
• 10:48
  the savagery human beings around was like, dude's rock. Yeah, sure,
• 10:52
  kings. I mean, I like the idea of still wanting to maintain your
• 10:58
  suspense of physic fitness. It feels like you would just get enough of that
• 11:01
  through living off the land in on the like in general, well, it's
• 11:05
  that Tom Hanks Castaway diet. Yeah, coconut water and raw fish. Yeah,
• 11:09
  yeah, you unrequired love for Helen Hunt and all that kind of stuff.
• 11:13
  Unrequired love for Helen Hunt sustained a lot of men through the late nineties.
• 11:18
  Yeah, when did it? When did we run out of love for
• 11:20
  Helen Hunt? Though? I think the minute she won the Oscar. I
• 11:22
  was going to say, when the man shake came in and I no longer
• 11:24
  needed to use her as a meal replacement. So she won the Oscar?
• 11:30
  And what that was? Good? Nineties? Yeah? Yeah, okay,
• 11:33
  what she win the Oscar for? As good as it gets? Did Nicholson
• 11:35
  win it as well? For that? Yeah? Yeah? The Best Picture
• 11:37
  they did it? No, no, no, this is yeah ninety eight
• 11:41
  but it was ninety seven movie. Yeah, nine seven movie. Okay,
• 11:46
  it's one of those films. I remember watched that. Everyone talked. I
• 11:48
  watched it about a year ago. I remember enjoying it. I don't necessarily
• 11:50
  remember thinking there's two Best Picture winners. No, no, it's not Top
• 11:54
  top Shop James L. Brooks wasn't it got one for Best Supporting? I
• 12:00
  remember Greg Kenney. Yeah, that I remember is what they did win three?
• 12:03
  No, no, he got nominated. I think he was actually really
• 12:05
  good. He definitely should have won it in my opinion. But what was
• 12:09
  he going up against? Did we know Roan and Juliet that getting them?
• 12:13
  None? So we look up ninety eight oscars, right that best Supporting?
• 12:18
  Just look it up, all right? So Robin Williams good be hunting of
• 12:22
  course? Uh yeah, great? Was it gets but Reynolds, Boogie Knights,
• 12:26
  Anthony Hopkins Amastad and Robert Forster Jackie Brown did Did either Matt or Ben
• 12:31
  get a Best Acting? I think I think Damon did? Did he o
• 12:35
  Best Actor? I think he got a nomination? Yeah, let's look,
• 12:39
  I'm just curious who Nicholson beat out that year when Jack Nicholson, it's a
• 12:46
  it was a weird line up because I was what I listened to the Boogie
• 12:48
  Knights Rewatchables, Yeah, and they were talking about ninety seven and now it
• 12:52
  was Damon Hoffman for Wag the Dog, Peter Fonder for ULI's goal and for
• 12:56
  the Apostle. Yeah, it was like, that's a that's a chaotic line.
• 13:00
  Yeah, it is watch Fag the Dog. But it had a really
• 13:03
  bad audio mix. It was just a DVD that wasn't fantastic. So it
• 13:05
  was yeah, my only experience of watching Wag the Dog was one of coming
• 13:11
  away with mild befuddlement, of just being like, I see that there's an
• 13:15
  idea of a movie in this, but I'm not entirely sure what I just
• 13:18
  watched. This is what most people feel when they watch The Whale. I
• 13:20
  still didn't watch The Whale. Okay, yeah, I mean it's weird.
• 13:24
  I like Brendon Fraser and I like Darren Alosky. I guess I just hate
• 13:26
  fat people. I don't know. I saw a trailer for it, and
• 13:35
  like Gilbert Grape never never got to you. Shallow Hell, though, bona
• 13:39
  fide classic. That was fake fat. This is this is a repret but
• 13:45
  it was real fat, fake fake skinny had Jason Alexander with a tail in
• 13:48
  it, right, Yeah, yeah, thats one. That's something we all
• 13:52
  lived through. He just couldn't quite nail any role that was decent after sign
• 13:58
  felt goody or before or outside. But this is just and as I have
• 14:07
  said many times, he is very good in the nineteen eighties horror movie The
• 14:11
  Burning. Always talk about this legitimately you say it's a great movie, right,
• 14:15
  or He's not a legitimately great movie. It's a pretty good horror movie.
• 14:18
  But he just does he escape from the burning by throwing an old woman
• 14:20
  to the grounds, kids to the side. Given that he's one of the
• 14:26
  few people who actually survives, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
• 14:30
  Alright, he what Jingle all the Way? Mitch? Start us off?
• 14:33
  What were your earliest memories of Jingle all the Way? So numb?
• 14:35
  I did not watch Jingle all the Way when it came out. The first
• 14:39
  time that I would have seen this movie was I don't know, somewhere in
• 14:43
  the last five years. Really that lay Yeah, just I never cared one
• 14:48
  ioda about this movie. It was something that Ash had watched and it was
• 14:52
  a bit of a nostalgia trip for her to watch. When we first sat
• 14:56
  down and watched it a few years ago. That was the only time that
• 14:58
  I've seen it up until watching it again for this review. It's weird because
• 15:01
  I remember it being on like every summer at Christmas time, like Channel seven
• 15:05
  possibly, but I'm also really good at not getting knocked out during Wham mcgeddon,
• 15:07
  so things that are really popular around Christmas time I tend to slip under.
• 15:13
  Yeah, please explain Wammageddon to me. I know of it, but
• 15:16
  I had to go the month of December without hearing Last Christmas by Wham.
• 15:20
  Oh I hate that song. Yeah, Nicol puts it on all the time.
• 15:24
  It came close. Earlier today, I walked into a store and they
• 15:28
  were playing Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul as Wings or just McCarthy. I think
• 15:33
  that was just McCartney. So I heard that and I high tailed it out
• 15:37
  of there. I thought, if that's on the playoffs, then Wham won't
• 15:39
  be far away. Yeah, Nicola always because that's huge in the UK.
• 15:41
  They fucking love that song and Christmas Last Christmas. Yeah, I did both
• 15:46
  of them, but more Last Christmas. And I'm just like, I don't
• 15:48
  get it. This is a shit song. So it doesn't feel like a
• 15:52
  Christmas song. It says Christmas, it doesn't make it a Christmas song.
• 15:54
  I know, we say Diehard at Christmas movie, so I'm about to say
• 15:58
  similar things about Christmas move movies as we go along in this podcast. Yeah,
• 16:02
  but it's just like this doesn't have the Christmas. That's almost the Christmas
• 16:04
  vibe at all in my opinion. It's sad love song that fuck it.
• 16:08
  Yeah, but yeah, so what I would have been eight or nine.
• 16:12
  Did this get a ninety six release in Australia? Was it would? Yeah?
• 16:18
  It took five weeks to make. They just slapped this together. I
• 16:19
  was gonna say it was thrown together so quickly. I don't know why it
• 16:23
  wouldn't have mattered to me as a kid, because I mean, obviously you're
• 16:26
  aware of I'm Schwartznegger. I've been to movie World. I was the movie
• 16:30
  would have to do with it? Oh, actually Batman Robin would have come
• 16:34
  like, did they have a terminator thing at movie World? No? No,
• 16:37
  no, no, no, all right? Nothing more recently you go
• 16:44
  to movie World there's a terminator thing? Is it not? Yeah? This
• 16:48
  was the last time I went to Movie World there was a terminator thing.
• 16:51
  There was no It might not have lasted for a long time, but there
• 16:53
  was a term. Didn't make the Terminator? I've seen it in Australia.
• 17:00
  It's a live action terminator? Was it a planet? Hollywood? Do we
• 17:04
  have a planet? Hollywood? We did just that, the Endo skeleton,
• 17:08
  the window that amongst you. I swear that they didn't make it right.
• 17:12
  Who made Terminated? Which? Which production company wasn't warning? Was it?
• 17:15
  No? They may have got the rights at something. It was Fox because
• 17:19
  it's on Disney Plus must be It must be Fox, isn't it. No?
• 17:25
  The original is Hemdale production through Oryan. T two is a parco production
• 17:30
  through TriStar try Star. This one says Paramount Pictures, and then for the
• 17:34
  first one and then the third one. I don't know if Warner Brothers might
• 17:38
  have had international distribution on on one of them, unless because they have a
• 17:44
  three D cinema Movie World, but I don't think that was ever. I
• 17:47
  think the first one, this wasn't a ride. This was enacted out.
• 17:49
  Yeah, they have it at Universal Studios in America. Maybe that's where're getting
• 17:53
  confused, because you went to Universal Studios. Yeah, but I did so
• 17:57
  many places, so many parties. It doesn't matter. There must be someone
• 18:00
  else out there that's seen this. But it's weird because because I think it
• 18:03
  was in a weird phase of his career at this point, wasn't he He
• 18:07
  was kind of on the way I'm going on a second terminated to two three
• 18:10
  D show at Universal Studios, Hollywood, Yes, but yeah, also at
• 18:14
  Warner Brothers Movie World on the Gold Coast. Yeah, and yeah, it
• 18:18
  cool was done here yeah, okay, there we go. Thank you to
• 18:21
  Parks dot Com do I U yeah, I remember that Nod's legit. See
• 18:26
  we went in because we went when it first opened and it was like a
• 18:30
  brand new thing. It was Marvin the Martian four D. Then it became
• 18:33
  Shrek four D. I think it for a while, and then now it's
• 18:36
  something else. I don't know at the cinema movie world. But Arnie's career
• 18:40
  at this point in time, well, yeah, I mean this is ninety
• 18:41
  six and Arnold in ninety six has got the well I better say the one
• 18:45
  two punch, but it's a bit sort of it's not a great body blow
• 18:51
  in it's a swing and a miss of a raser and jingle of the way.
• 18:56
  Now. One thing I think Animal was prided for or best known for,
• 19:03
  maybe not best known for, but certainly known for at the height of
• 19:06
  his career was he worked with really good filmmakers. I mean he would work
• 19:10
  with Paul Verhove, and he worked with James Cameron clearly a lot of times,
• 19:14
  John mctinnan on Predator, and unlike Stilly, the directors may apply,
• 19:21
  but he wasn't sort of throwing his weight around all that much. He was
• 19:23
  willing to collaborate with her with you know, sort of high end talented people.
• 19:27
  And when you look at who's behind the camera on both a Razor and
• 19:30
  Jingle all the Way, I mean Brian Levan, who did Jingle all the
• 19:33
  Way. He's best known for like Beethoven and the Flintstones, these sort of
• 19:37
  amiable but kind of junkie family comedies and erasers by a guy called Chuck Russell,
• 19:41
  who's you know, he did one of the Elm Street sequels. He
• 19:45
  made a really good remake of the Blob. But yeah, he did the
• 19:49
  Mask. Yeah, but you can tell that the bloom is coming off the
• 19:52
  rose just a little bit. You can sort of you can always feel it
• 19:56
  when someone's not quite at the top of the game anymore. And yeah,
• 20:00
  I mean, oh, look he's still Arnold, and I mean he's still
• 20:03
  got name value and face value. You've seen on the post, you're probably
• 20:07
  going to go and see it. I mean, both the movies did pretty
• 20:08
  well, but it's like, I think we're a little bit away from Terminator
• 20:12
  to Total Recall. We're a little way away from the glory days. It's
• 20:15
  true, lies had been maybe a couple of years before it's a bad run
• 20:18
  that he's on here, and not only this. It actually surprised me because
• 20:22
  even as recently as the mid two thousands, before the Governor Run, if
• 20:26
  Schwarzenegg was in a movie that was going to be enough to drum up excitement.
• 20:29
  But ninety four True Lies, as you say, that's probably the last,
• 20:33
  the last good movie that he's made, and I've got a soft spot
• 20:37
  for was Genesis, the most recent terminator from Memory, Dark Fate, Dark
• 20:41
  Fate, whichever one that Linda came back for. Yeah, I do like
• 20:44
  that one who usually in mind are too many now? Yeah, But so
• 20:48
  from True Lies we go junior commercial success but critical nothing isn't making a good
• 20:53
  movie then achieved what it was that to do right, Well, they're trying
• 20:59
  to recap of the whole Swarzeninga de Vito Twins Magic, Okay, so that's
• 21:03
  why he's pregnant. I've one I was going to say that movie is successful
• 21:07
  because of his prior successes, not as a standalone. If that, if
• 21:10
  what had come before hadn't happened, I don't see Twins making a huge amount
• 21:14
  of money when you can still put names on a poster in Celticus. Yeah,
• 21:17
  so as a raiser jingle all the way Batman and Robin End of Days,
• 21:21
  End of Days. Yeah, collateral damage. And then we get into
• 21:25
  a period where there's a bunch of Terminator sequels and acting becomes much more separated.
• 21:30
  It turns into cameos in the Expendables. He almost became a meme,
• 21:33
  didn't he ya a while the Last Stand, which is a bit of a
• 21:36
  nothing movie politics, so that's why. Yeah, yeah, there's that,
• 21:40
  But it also just as one of those things that when you think of the
• 21:42
  legacy of the guy, you you would hope that he would be able to
• 21:47
  make his like Unforgiven or something like that. That would be cool if he
• 21:51
  did King Conan, which is a project that's been talked about for ages.
• 21:53
  I mean, I think that would be fantastic, like his Last Hurrah.
• 21:56
  Yeah, like a real good action movie to go out on, because I
• 22:00
  mean, do you feel like Maggie might have been an attempt at something like
• 22:03
  that that just didn't land. Maybe. I mean there's a lot of movies
• 22:07
  that that from no one really knows about that he's sort of trying different things,
• 22:11
  and that after burn or after math where I think his family is killed
• 22:18
  in like a terrorist bomb is it's a bit like collateral damage, but it's
• 22:22
  played a lot more for drama than it is for actual action, and he's
• 22:23
  trying to do some legit acting in it. I think, really, now
• 22:27
  you've got him as kind of like the Elder Statesman and the self help Guru,
• 22:33
  and his book will be useful as out he's cameo and Walking Tall.
• 22:37
  Actually, as I think through the later years where there's a Walking Tall,
• 22:41
  the Rundown or Welcome to the Jungle, the Jungle sorry one with the Rock
• 22:45
  and it's great. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's called the Rundown in
• 22:48
  the in the States and Welcome to the Jungle here. But yeah, I
• 22:52
  think you're right. I wish The Rock had worked more with Sean Williams Scott
• 22:56
  and not so much with Ryan Reynolds. Well does he work much with Ryan
• 23:00
  Reynolds except that up in when you had a cameo in Hobbs and sure,
• 23:07
  I think he's popped up in a couple of other Rock things as a combo
• 23:11
  maybe, but as a solo. Who do I want to see on the
• 23:12
  screen more? It's Ryan Reynolds. But how did the public perceive Arnie at
• 23:18
  this point ninety six. Oh, look, I think he's part of the
• 23:19
  furniture at this stage. But you're reviewing by this point, right, I
• 23:22
  was. It was Hollywood like, he's the personification of the studio of studio
• 23:29
  movies, movie of the put your name on the poster and people will come
• 23:33
  to see was he was he the top name. I wouldn't say the top
• 23:37
  was Willis up there probably actually, yeah, because I mean this is around
• 23:41
  the time of sixth it's post pulp fiction, yeah, pre sixth sense Mageddon.
• 23:47
  Yeah, yeah, I was actually part of what I was thinking about
• 23:51
  about that career of Arnold, And it probably can't be spoken about just in
• 23:55
  isolation of going what happened to Arnold, But this would have been a bit
• 23:57
  of a changing in the guard of Hollywood in tern of the types of action
• 24:00
  movies that were being made. That the one man tank was not the m
• 24:06
  O anymore. It's more like aged team up called big explosions, actions,
• 24:11
  a lots of stuff, speed, getting a lot of ensembles. And yeah,
• 24:15
  you're also seeing a newer guards start to come in. I mean,
• 24:18
  yeah, Keanu obviously, I mean he's got point break at the start of
• 24:21
  the start of the nineties, Speed in the middle, Will Smith is definitely
• 24:25
  coming up, and yeah, I think by the time you get to the
• 24:27
  matrix, Yeah, and you realize, oh, well, okay, we
• 24:33
  can take an everyday actor like Keano, make him train for six months,
• 24:37
  you know, and man, we'll do a little bit of wire work as
• 24:40
  well. I mean, you cannot discount the impact that Asian cinema had on
• 24:44
  Hollywood filmmaking, particularly in Hollywood action filmmaking. You had a lot of directors
• 24:48
  like John wu Ringo, Lamb's Choy Hauk coming over and making Hollywood movies.
• 24:52
  So yeah, I mean, big brawny action vehicles like Arnold and Sylvester's Loan,
• 24:59
  Bestes and four were becoming kind of dinosaurs, which is you know,
• 25:03
  I think why Arnold, who's a very very smart man and very very sort
• 25:07
  of savvy about his image, realized well, I've got to expand a bit.
• 25:10
  I've got to expand my range such as it is. Eddie Murphy was
• 25:14
  kind of doing the same thing. I know, he wasn't a big,
• 25:15
  huge star, but he was doing more comedy family comedies at this point as
• 25:18
  well. I think when did Dr Doolittle come that was ninety nine. I
• 25:21
  reckon it was ninety eight or maybe two thousand two of them, right,
• 25:23
  yeah, yeah, there was a sequel. I would you say that professor
• 25:26
  was not a professor? Was that? That wasn't a family comedy? Was
• 25:29
  it? That was still that was still a bit talling? Ye? Yeah,
• 25:32
  I don't know if it was rated PG thirteen. I don't know if
• 25:36
  there's many F bombs dropped in or anything like that. I want to say
• 25:40
  this era of Eddie would this had been Golden Child, and that's late eighties.
• 25:44
  It was Metro Metros around this time, Metro both thing it was ninety
• 25:47
  nine. I want to say, oh yeah, yeah, I was gonna
• 25:48
  say so Metro, like Eddie was still playing in the action pool a little
• 25:52
  bit. Metro was probably the the top of my head. That might have
• 25:56
  been the most action, least comedy of an Eddie most reasons performance around this
• 26:00
  time of year, yeah, around this time of history. Yeah. But
• 26:03
  I mean when it comes to like jingle all the way, it's like,
• 26:07
  oh, well, this feels like that you are the kind of thing you
• 26:11
  could slot anybody in a lot of the comedies that Arnold had made up until
• 26:14
  this point, well, I mean there aren't that many, but I mean
• 26:17
  Twins is very dependent on the fact that he looks like Ernold Schwartznegger and his
• 26:19
  twins played by Dan Kindergarten Cop. It's not necessarily fine. I don't think
• 26:29
  he's really good in it. And the fact, you know, putting this
• 26:30
  huge slab of tetotic meat up against these against these little kids is the capacity
• 26:37
  girl run. It's the jew that's the jaw, And that's where I learned
• 26:41
  that boys have penises and girls have vaginas. You have to unload. It's
• 26:45
  twenty twenty three to get bike broke down. And you know, even Junior,
• 26:51
  to some extenter's like it's he's pregnant. I just I looked at the
• 26:56
  person and I was like, I can't see this being a good movie.
• 26:57
  I can't remember as single joke from it. Really. Yeah, I don't
• 27:00
  think I've bothered to revisit it in the Oh shit, what thirty years it's
• 27:07
  since it's come out, coming up on thirty years, coming up on thirty
• 27:10
  years. Yeah, helping you a criterion, Well, when was last Action
• 27:15
  Hero? That's ninety three, and that was probably, yeah, the first
• 27:18
  chink in the armor for him really because yeah, I mean he's coming off
• 27:26
  three two Predator running Man lies true. His post his last action recals ninety
• 27:34
  Terminator two is ninety two ninety one? Was it? Yeah? Yeah,
• 27:38
  So I was riding high. And I think they were so confident because I
• 27:42
  mean, this is, you know, an action comedy from the director of
• 27:45
  die Hard starring Arnold. I think they put it up against Jurassic Park,
• 27:48
  and they're pretty confident it's going to go toe to toe with it, and
• 27:51
  it just got you know, it's asshanded to it. More of it.
• 27:55
  Was that a comedy more than an action film. But it was breaking the
• 27:57
  fourth floor kind of, wasn't it breaking it's wall. It's very very usual
• 28:03
  film. No. I mean the action that it actually is really good because
• 28:07
  I like it's ambition. I've got a real soft spots actually loves a strong
• 28:11
  word, but you love when you were a kid, maybe definitely loved it
• 28:15
  as a kid. I would still I would get entertainment out of watching it.
• 28:18
  Now it's not going to be I think it would outstay It's welcome if
• 28:22
  I wore it too often. But I would also if it was like three
• 28:26
  beers in Oh, You've never seen Last Action Hero and your arm Sworsnegger fans,
• 28:29
  sit down here, chuck this three stouts in as you rocked up with
• 28:32
  some stouts. Yeah, but I mean it's one of those movies that you
• 28:37
  know, a couple of decades down the line, people are going better than
• 28:42
  you remember. It's yeah, I mean, Mitch is right. It's got
• 28:45
  a lot of ambition. Yeah, and a lot of really cool looking animated
• 28:51
  cat a lot of cool in jokes for the movie nerds. So those movies
• 28:55
  don't never the best alone starring in Terminator. Yeah, like he's walking there
• 29:00
  a blockbuster and there's a I know the movie for people that have God's going
• 29:04
  to explaining the movie too. I'm sorry, man, but no explaining to
• 29:10
  the listeners though for those who haven't seen it, not anymore. We just
• 29:11
  did. That's fine. I was trying to And then I thought I was
• 29:15
  so excited this afternoon because I was scanning some old family photos for Christmas presents.
• 29:18
  Right, I found a photo of me when I would have been about
• 29:21
  I know, six or seven, in my bedroom with a Last Action Hero
• 29:25
  cardboard cut out of Arnie, just listening to some Spotify Yea, but yeah,
• 29:30
  a cardboard cutout of Arnie from Last Action Here I got at school.
• 29:32
  Mum said she got it from the video store standing up or laying down in
• 29:34
  bed with you know, he was standing up. I finished my business.
• 29:41
  Yeah, but I mean, looking at the trailers for this, the promo
• 29:47
  for it, I don't know. I think even the well, I mean,
• 29:51
  I don't want to I was in the twenties of this stage, and
• 29:52
  I'm probably a great Christmas comedy. Was he like at the level where people
• 29:57
  I feel like the rock now everyone's kind of sick of him verging on it?
• 30:03
  Quite possibly? Yeah, I think Batman and Robin might have been one
• 30:07
  of the nails in the coffin for that absolute Is that because of the movie
• 30:11
  though, or the way he was in that movie? I think just the
• 30:12
  movie because actually he's one of the best things in it. I watched with
• 30:17
  Elliott. I'm like, he's actually got some funny like he makes he guess
• 30:21
  the ship and doesn't make a gold but he makes it work to an extent.
• 30:23
  Him and Uma Thurman sort of know what movie they're in exactly. Yeah,
• 30:27
  Clooney and everyone else not so much. The way he says do I
• 30:32
  say he's he's campy at Ship the Cooler. Yeah, well this is vaudeville,
• 30:37
  of course. Yeah. Yeah, you're played in the back row.
• 30:38
  Good on you because Donald's trying to be all serious about Robin in the background.
• 30:42
  No, forget how moody Chris O'donald was, Oh so moody. I'm
• 30:47
  like, what are you doing? He sucked in Batman Room. I quite
• 30:49
  liked him in Batman Forever. Yeah. Yeah, that whole thing with the
• 30:52
  laundry. I mean the logy was very cool. People meme that and say,
• 30:56
  oh god, this is so weak. I'm like, what are you
• 30:57
  kidding? This is dope. Yeah. I love him doing laundry and that
• 31:03
  remember the laundry six seconds he sort of does some gymnastic tricks to ring out
• 31:07
  the acrobatic. Yeah, Alfred's just left impressed. Who's this twink master Bruce's
• 31:18
  new protege, which is one where he gets like attacked by like putty thugs
• 31:22
  and it's all like Neon and Ship in the alleyway. That is that Forever?
• 31:25
  Or is that those two Shoemaker Batman movies just merging one. They're all
• 31:30
  on all the time. I think so much bisexual lighting. Allo Aliott loves
• 31:33
  them, and that's exactly what those films were supposed to do. That's fine.
• 31:37
  Yeah, I'm sorry that sounded a really bad. That's fine. Child
• 31:41
  likes and you would have loved the two when you were a kid, right
• 31:45
  ah yeah, I assume, like, yes, I remember being I remember
• 31:51
  enjoying the movie. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, I think looking at
• 31:55
  the at the trailer, for I do think even as a tenure old or
• 32:00
  whatever, nine year old, I knew that mister Freeze was lame. I
• 32:04
  actually think that if there's one thing that I had a problem with is that
• 32:07
  you were talking about vaudeville and playing in the back row. I was sophisticated
• 32:14
  enough to know that was bad acting, not sophisticated enough to know that it
• 32:17
  was a form of acting. So for me, I kind of walked away.
• 32:21
  Oh god, they've really hammed that year old Mitch walks out. Yeah,
• 32:24
  Like, for me, hammy acting was not not you know, it's
• 32:30
  a quote or paraphrase because I probably won't get it word for word, but
• 32:34
  reservoir dogs like you know, if you're not a great actor, you're bullshit
• 32:37
  or like, yeah, anything short of great acting is bullshit. And I
• 32:40
  was walking out of there not saying it's bullshita again. I was a kid,
• 32:44
  but I was like, hmm, well, I don't know how I
• 32:45
  feel about this. I was just going to say I remember this. This
• 32:49
  was definitely VHS rental for me. I don't remember it being in the cinemas
• 32:51
  at all in Australia. I can't recall like it because remember when space came
• 32:54
  up, kids out, I wouldn't but I don't remember it reviewed it.
• 32:58
  I don't remember it being a thing we all went to the movies to see
• 33:00
  Jingle all the way. I remember seeing it at like the video start going
• 33:02
  ah, it's Almos sports nigger, like if from kindergarten cop. I'll probably
• 33:06
  liked this movie. But it was one thing I remember when I was a
• 33:08
  kid, though, was I was always confused how there was never like any
• 33:10
  Turboman action figures. And I know they did make some apparently that were released
• 33:15
  in the States, like two hundred thousand units or something, which isn't much
• 33:17
  when you can see a big movies these days. It was like the Batman
• 33:20
  and Robin and that we're talking about just then. But it's like for a
• 33:22
  film that feels like it's based around this toy, they didn't seem to have
• 33:27
  their shit together when it came to the marketing. I guess that's a victim
• 33:30
  of the fact that it was stuck together in five weeks and there wasn't enough
• 33:32
  time. Because I did read that there wasn't enough time to do any tie
• 33:36
  ins like Space Mpy with the tazos and like Batman Robin did with the McDonald's
• 33:39
  glasses and things like that, So there was no tie ins. But yeah,
• 33:42
  you think a film like this was based around his action figure, there
• 33:45
  would have been more of them, especially when the whole story of the movie
• 33:49
  is that you can't get this action figure and everybody wants to turb and everyone,
• 33:53
  all the kids watching it, you would assume would then want one.
• 33:57
  You would think that, wouldn't you. So yeah, it feels like an
• 33:59
  absolute case of that's about to say ball dropping. Let's say drop the ball
• 34:02
  instead. You guys just picked up you phones at the same time, I
• 34:06
  was looking for the release date, the local the Austranger state the way.
• 34:08
  Yeah, both Witch and I are just completely bored with what you're saying.
• 34:13
  I was sending a dick pic to guy. I was like, are they
• 34:15
  just like having a conversation he had. He had to send it in two
• 34:20
  stage file too big. The pixel. The pixel has the ability to take
• 34:25
  a screenshot and scroll at the same time. I know. I was looking
• 34:30
  up the gross. So sixty million domestic six million, that went twenty yeah
• 34:34
  back, yeah, but it costs seventy five middle mat and twenty of that
• 34:37
  goes when that goes to Arnold twenty yeah. Apparently that was twenty yeah.
• 34:43
  Okay, Like we said, savvy businessman knows he's worth I mean, if
• 34:46
  we're talking about Arnold and comedy is I was the same before we he called,
• 34:50
  but he is worth that though, that'd make one hundred twenty one million
• 34:52
  of volence. Worsneker's not in this movie. Yeah, I'm trying to remember
• 34:55
  who the first twenty million dollar also man was. Take his salary out.
• 35:00
  They don't spend fifty five on it if he's not either, Like this movie
• 35:05
  becomes a fifteen million becomes ing all the way through it to make fifty Yeah.
• 35:08
  I think the first one may have been Jim Carrey. I think so
• 35:12
  for cable guy. Was a cable guy was not dumb and dumber earning that
• 35:15
  much money. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was for cable guys. I
• 35:16
  know he had a funck left Dom dumber and jeff Eniel's got nothing for it
• 35:20
  basically compared to not not cable guy money. Well, you get twenty millis
• 35:23
  for cable guy. Was pretty sure what was because and then everyone says,
• 35:28
  Carrie's getting twenty million, I want twenty million. Yeah, if he's getting
• 35:30
  it him the cable guy Jones is like, I can't sanction this before but
• 35:43
  I mean, yeah, Arnold was already making fairly solid paydays. He was
• 35:45
  getting a lot of back end money. And yeah, I think I was
• 35:47
  saying before we started recording about the origins of Twins that he made with Ivan
• 35:53
  Reidman a genius. He was a genius. He was indeed a genius.
• 35:58
  Uh how ow Reightman, Arnold and Danny de Vitea owned forty percent of the
• 36:06
  movie. It's like, we're not going to take any money up front.
• 36:08
  We will take the bareest amount of money up front. But we owned forty
• 36:13
  percent of the movie. And I don't say it was one of the best
• 36:15
  financial decisions ever made, because first of all, it made money at the
• 36:19
  cinema. It was like, yeah, well we got to cut when they
• 36:21
  sold it to we got a cut of every big as that sold. We
• 36:23
  got to cut when they sold a TV to airlines everything. So they're just
• 36:28
  making money hand over this from it. Yeah, and real Christian Columbus was
• 36:30
  attached to this as well. Yeah, yeah, the producer, I mean
• 36:32
  under his fourteen ninety two Pictures name, because that's when Christopher Columbus discovered America,
• 36:38
  which I think, yeah from us And now everyone's going, yeah,
• 36:44
  we don't like Christopher Columbus. He was a colonizer and a sex pest.
• 36:51
  Was really problematic on the set of Home Alone. Yeah, that'll do,
• 36:55
  thank you, which would also stout fire, but that was going to run.
• 37:00
  That would have stepped on the story I was about to tell. I
• 37:04
  so rewatched the original trailer for this. Yeah, from the director of Missus
• 37:08
  Doubtfire. I was like, that's just straight up lying to the public,
• 37:12
  like, yes, he's a producer on the movie. But they were from
• 37:15
  the director of Beethoven and from the director like not brought to you by from
• 37:20
  the director of Missus Doubtfire. I was. It stopped me in my tracks
• 37:22
  for a second, was like, Christal Clumbus fucking direct this And then Yeah.
• 37:27
  That was truthfully, that to me a massive red flag that they knew
• 37:31
  that they had a piece of shit on their hat. Also the fact that
• 37:35
  they had to use the home Alone music in this trailer to get people.
• 37:37
  Did you notice that? Yeah? Yeah, I was like, I was
• 37:39
  like, that's the that's at one point that did Yes, So they played
• 37:47
  someone at the very start of this trailer. I'm like, just I can
• 37:51
  imagine they did that to get people's attention because people would automatically gone home Alone
• 37:54
  three because you hear that music and you think I'm alone, and you would
• 37:58
  think, what four years after ninety two may it could have been a home
• 38:00
  Alone three. Yeah. Anyway, just I just thought it was interested in
• 38:02
  that because they cuished Columbus, they used show up used a Home Alone because
• 38:06
  no either movie would have been allowed to use that music, right, I
• 38:07
  imagine not. But I mean, I don't know. Stuff gets repurposed all
• 38:10
  the time. There's a lot of stuff by James Horner that gets used in
• 38:14
  the different trailers of the time. A lot of I need to I've just
• 38:20
  brought something up. You don't You're just like, I wasn't looking at you
• 38:24
  when I gave you a second I was trying to get the right way to
• 38:29
  phrase it, and but you snooze, you lose man. I'm looking at
• 38:32
  the I'm looking at the box office takes, and there's just a really interesting
• 38:36
  time of the world that there's a couple of things that happened from one week
• 38:40
  to the next. So the week that Jingle All the Way comes out debuts
• 38:43
  at number four, the top five star Trek First Contact with forty three million,
• 38:49
  Space Jam at number two. Of course it will just Shire twenty two,
• 38:52
  Ransom at number three, g It back by Jingle all the Way at
• 38:54
  four, Ransom really stands out there as like in amongst all that dark,
• 39:00
  gritty thriller about we didn't mention, Gipsy Gibson was still huge and he was,
• 39:04
  yeah, that's true. Well he's hot off rave part. Yeah.
• 39:07
  There's a few other like Romeo and Juliet's up there, the English Patriot,
• 39:10
  the English Patient, Independence stays still floating around. Impossible. Oh yeah.
• 39:15
  Spoken about the Tom Cruise Factor Top five Action Stars of the ninety five to
• 39:20
  two thousand era. So Swartznegger would say Sportsnegger, I wouldn't say swartz Nigger
• 39:24
  ninety five to two thousand no, I would say he's I mean Cruise,
• 39:30
  Well, Cruise is still just staring that period Gibson, Nicholas, Cage travolt
• 39:36
  They Volta had broken Arrow General's daughter, which isn't necessarily an action movie more
• 39:44
  more more a thriller. Yeah, yeah, face off within the cage Brse.
• 39:49
  Yeah, look, i'd even throw I wouldn't necessarily say Van dam and
• 39:54
  segoul will Smith. We said Will Smith before he had a few action movies,
• 39:58
  and that he's ninety six is in Pennance Day and that's the real sort
• 40:01
  of action movie breakout. Sorry, bad boys, bad boys. Yeah as
• 40:07
  well. Anyway, Yeah, that digression back to the original aggression. This
• 40:10
  is the bit that I was curious about, and I don't think this happens
• 40:13
  very much anymore. Dalmatians one hundred and one Dalmatians. The week that this
• 40:19
  movie releases opens at I don't know if it opened, but it's had eleven
• 40:22
  and a half million first week. Yeah, come into the following week,
• 40:25
  it goes from eleven million to pulling in thirty eight million with a second factors
• 40:34
  holidays being one. That school is that the movie they had the Tians they
• 40:37
  had to McDonald's tying. I remember thee hundred one dimations and it had the
• 40:38
  animated series as well, which helped boost right, and I don't have school
• 40:43
  holidays. Sorry, I don't know if it was week one week two,
• 40:45
  but like that, just word of mouth and the fact that you could only
• 40:47
  see stuff at the movies, like that shit pre Internet world. They opened
• 40:52
  a movie now and it opened at that level and they were expecting it to
• 40:55
  be at the other level. Then it's just straight to streaming and pulled out
• 40:59
  of theaters. Boat yeah, exactly, well right now, it's so weird.
• 41:01
  I mean I was looking at the top five US box office for the
• 41:06
  last weekend and it's completely chaotic because I mean, like the top thing is
• 41:12
  I think the top thing is like a Migazaki movie, like a Japanese animated
• 41:15
  movie. I think The Boy and the Heron. Yeah, but like Godzilla
• 41:20
  minus one it was like number three. But you can't go by just box
• 41:22
  office takings. Now you're gonna go by streaming numbers as well. There's that
• 41:24
  too, but I mean those numbers are always fun, but it's like if
• 41:29
  people are paying for it, though, can I get those numbers? You
• 41:30
  know when you say, like a rental for example, like for example,
• 41:34
  Barbie. Right, yeah, if it's a rental, they're nice. That's
• 41:37
  what I'm just saying, because Barbie was available pretty much as soon as the
• 41:38
  cinema, you know what, I mean, absolutely, But I mean I
• 41:42
  think it's just kind of unprecedented that at least two Japanese movies are in the
• 41:45
  top five of the US box office, you know, as as we approach
• 41:49
  Christmas. The parasite help that you reckon, I think it probably would have
• 41:53
  opened a lot of people, a lot of the general public eye to subtiple
• 41:59
  the diversity of Asian cinema, I mean parasites Koreen and probably yeah, thank
• 42:02
  you for pointing that out. You probably can't a lot of the Miyazaki stuffs
• 42:07
  on Netflix, isn't it, So his audience has probably grown. Yeah.
• 42:10
  Plus it's got a really interesting, you know, voice English boys cast.
• 42:14
  I think Robert Pattinson's one of the leads and as well. I mean not
• 42:15
  that that necessarily makes a difference, but you know, it just goes to
• 42:19
  show that theatrical takings are just kind of a wild were straight now, I'm
• 42:24
  just earner to bring up parasite. Obviously, it was Korean. But it's
• 42:28
  like subtitle movies. People aren't going to pay to see that shit in ninety
• 42:30
  ninety six, not a chance, No, not really. I mean you'll
• 42:37
  have the odd sort of art house sensation run all the run, for instance,
• 42:42
  but they're not necessarily going to be box office to put money down if
• 42:45
  I was allowed into the theater. Well that's true for which one, Betty
• 42:47
  Blue, No, you're right, I don't. I feel like watching movies
• 42:52
  with subtitles is probably I wouldn't call it mainstream, but it's more palatable,
• 42:57
  so it doesn't feel odd like once again to the point that I maybe even
• 43:01
  things like Loopin' or what the money money host money Heist, that is what
• 43:07
  it's called, Which is the one about the Going Up the Tower? It's
• 43:12
  that's something. It's basically an action movie going up the Tower. But the
• 43:15
  great thereat apart. Yeah, yeah, that's fucking amazing. Yes. So
• 43:21
  yeah, there's been some really popular movies that have broken through, and a
• 43:22
  lot of those has probably been released in a dubbed version as well. But
• 43:25
  I'm very much at a point that I hate the dub I would much rather
• 43:30
  as a squid game. I started watching I watched the first episode, not
• 43:31
  realizing you could watch it, just just watch it. I was like,
• 43:35
  what is this yere? And then I obviously went back and watched the original
• 43:39
  version, yet much better. But so, guys, with jingle all the
• 43:42
  way, what did you like about the film? Something I dug about it
• 43:45
  was I don't know. I think it does a pretty good job of capturing
• 43:49
  like the manic spirit of Christmas consumerism. Yeah, well, this came out
• 43:53
  just at the same time as the Tickle Me Almo craze. You can remember
• 43:55
  that, surely the Tickle Me Almo craze of the ninety six I want my
• 44:00
  sister wanted one, but I remember them just everyone had to have it to
• 44:01
  me, I reckon my younger brother. Actually, I'm thinking of Ferbi's I
• 44:06
  don't think they have hadbies were a thing, but the same same kind of
• 44:07
  deal. Yeah, yeah, I think like Sickle Me Alm, I probably
• 44:12
  missed this, but yes, you're right, and that same thing. We've
• 44:14
  all had a thing like that that blew up that everyone Turtle's power angels,
• 44:17
  that kind of thing. Yeah, and you're right it did sort of capture
• 44:20
  that's just the chaos of things. Yes, But I mean so I think
• 44:22
  that's probably, for mine, the best thing about it, because I mean,
• 44:24
  if you're looking at it with say a wanky critical lie, this movie
• 44:30
  is basically the equivalent of turmaan Dole. It's something you really dig when you're
• 44:32
  six years old. You may be forgotten by the time you were eight years
• 44:36
  old, and then you know, ten years down the line, you go,
• 44:38
  oh, the toy that I was really cool, so or that was
• 44:43
  kind of nice. But uh yeah, I think that's what I like about
• 44:46
  it the most. I mean, it's it's kind of it's clumsy, and
• 44:51
  it's clunky, but it's also kind of unpretentious. Sorry, that's what sounds
• 44:54
  really ranky to say that, or pretentious to say that. Chris Chris Columbus
• 44:59
  has said that he felt the movie was misunderstood because he wanted the film to
• 45:02
  be a piss take of the commercialization of Christmas, right where people go watched
• 45:06
  it and went, this is just trying to sell a toy, and he's
• 45:07
  like, well, no, because we've fucking hardly made any We're meant to
• 45:09
  be taking the mickey out of movies that do that. But people just seem
• 45:14
  to not get that. Is that his fault yes, yeah, yes.
• 45:16
  In short, Chris, I don't think the movie was misunderstood. I just
• 45:20
  don't think it did a good enough job of hitting that point. Yeah,
• 45:22
  I would say that. Yeah. I mean I read a bit of stuff
• 45:27
  about Brian Levant, who directed this, and he was saying, look,
• 45:30
  I realized, I don't make, you know, movies that make the top
• 45:31
  ten critics list at the end of the year. But I see a lot
• 45:35
  of families taking my movies off the shelf at Blockbuster, and that means a
• 45:38
  great deal to me. So, I mean, this is a workaday guy.
• 45:40
  Again he started hold money. I found that quote as well, and
• 45:45
  I love the idea of Brian Levant hanging out in a Blockbuster it and then
• 45:52
  just a notepad. One. Hey, if you like Problem Child, you
• 45:55
  might like Problem Child too, directed by one Brian. But I mean this,
• 46:00
  this is a sitcom guy. This is a guy who sort of got
• 46:02
  his start on you know, things like Happy Days and Morgan Mindy. I
• 46:06
  think it was Happy Days, but he certainly got a background that kind of
• 46:08
  thing, and that that kind of shows. I mean this is not high
• 46:12
  art or anything like that, but I mean it gets the job done in
• 46:15
  certain ways. It's got to wake it on at Christmas time and the kids
• 46:16
  will sit there and watch it. That's correct, while you leave the room
• 46:20
  and do something else. Stick around. But the thing is, though,
• 46:23
  with the whole year, don't leave the room, because otherwise you're Howard Langston.
• 46:27
  Yes, that's right, But the thing is, I feel like this
• 46:30
  doesn't happen anymore, the whole tick of Melmo craze and furbies and things like
• 46:32
  that. Two reasons, online shopping and b I just think that manufacturers have
• 46:38
  just become savvy enough now to understand this movie's design to sell toys. Let's
• 46:42
  fucking make a lot of them. Yeah, don't don't make me say the
• 46:45
  line. Line, say the line, but the shoemaker line about you know,
• 46:50
  yeah, the movies make millions, the toys make billions. Yeah,
• 46:52
  and yeah, this is where Chris Columbus fumbled. Yeah, I mean,
• 46:57
  well, is it his fault though, because they gave him five weeks to
• 46:59
  get it out by no member started filming in April and three of those weeks.
• 47:01
  Three of those weeks were on the parade scene, so it took two
• 47:05
  weeks to film the rest of the movie. Parade scenes a long scene it
• 47:07
  goes for about Yeah, it's half an hour. It's a third of the
• 47:12
  movie because I initially chose that because when we dissected dicet Hi, we're talking
• 47:15
  about a particular scene, are chosen a scene, and I was like,
• 47:17
  I'll choose a prod me that message before I had watched it, and I
• 47:20
  was like, holy shit, a five hour I rewatched it and I was
• 47:23
  like, oh, this isn't the scene, it's the movie. But yeah,
• 47:31
  I enjoyed the film long rivalry between Arnold or Howard and the cop.
• 47:38
  I thought the cop was played by a man named that's Robert Conrad. Robert
• 47:43
  we mentioned once upon a time in Hollywood before next thing, you know,
• 47:45
  you're getting your ass kicked by Bob Conrad and his tape pants. He was
• 47:51
  hilarious again, I mean, he was sort of like a TV tough guy,
• 47:53
  his notes, how long he was on various you know, cop shows,
• 47:57
  Westerns, all that kind of thing. And he's probably in his late
• 47:59
  six these, maybe even early seventies at this stage. But it's one of
• 48:02
  those you again, Yeah, it's one of those like you know, like
• 48:08
  in Flying High, we've got Leslie Nielson and Peter Graves and all those like
• 48:12
  Robert Stack and all those guys who were in TV cop shows and all that,
• 48:15
  and they're playing against their image and he's sort of doing that here,
• 48:17
  and he's been very game with it. I appreciate that he's kind of like,
• 48:22
  what Ham, it's that kind of beformance called that out of the fire.
• 48:29
  But I nearly leapt at the table when you brought up Flying High in
• 48:31
  the same sentence. Is this not you take flying You take my Flying High's
• 48:40
  name out your goddamn mouse. Apparently that saved their marriage. Ja I went
• 48:51
  home and smoked a joint and watched the bridges. They went to their separate
• 48:55
  homes, they got on z they went to the separate wings of the city
• 49:00
  that they owned. No, Jada Pinker apparently has gone public again, and
• 49:06
  so I just knew that he loved me. If to be slapp the shit
• 49:08
  out of Chris Rocket, if you can't take those guys seriously anymore, it's
• 49:12
  a shame because I'd loved Will Smith and it's just like, yeah, I
• 49:15
  I mean, look, the the main thing for me from the movie,
• 49:21
  and it'll be the MVP as well. Not to get in the way of
• 49:22
  it, but I'm sure it'll be Everyone's MVP is Phil Harty, so we'll
• 49:24
  say the MVP is Phil. Yeah. There's an amazing quote though that I
• 49:29
  wanted to like to talk about why I enjoyed him in there. This came
• 49:32
  from an e W article that I found, but it was really really good
• 49:36
  about Phil. The last film that was released Wapped. He'll still with us
• 49:42
  Yadyada from Ken Tucker. His conventional guy's demeanor and deep hearty voice for his
• 49:47
  secret weapons. With them, he could momentarily full audiences in the thinking he
• 49:52
  was a straight man, but then he'd cock an eyebrow and give his voice
• 49:53
  an ironic lilt that delivered a punchline like a fast slider. You barely saw
• 49:58
  it coming until you started laughing. And I feel like that applies to everything
• 50:01
  Phil Hartmon has ever done. I think that quote was more around the movie,
• 50:05
  but that's just his career. That's writing from ten from Aman Kentucker.
• 50:09
  Yeah, because I mean, I won't say that there was nothing that Phil
• 50:12
  couldn't do, but I mean it was the Simpsons changed when Phil was no
• 50:16
  longer, when Lionel Hartson Field like he brought something that they just haven't seemed
• 50:21
  to be able to recapture. You know, it's a damn shame, but
• 50:27
  you know so many things about Phil harmon Or. I've got a lot to
• 50:30
  talk about with the MVP and everything like this. He's just great. Plus,
• 50:34
  I've chosen the cookie scene. What scene have you chosen for your scene?
• 50:37
  I've chosen where Howard goes to the Santa Ware with Belushi with James Belushi.
• 50:43
  Is it's a it's a Red Heat reunion. Yes, And you've gone
• 50:45
  with which one the last night like the last minute sales pitch the customer number
• 50:52
  one number one customer? You've got like slash dislikes here. Yeah, I've
• 50:59
  can't say one more like I like everyone's disdain for Booster. That was actually
• 51:04
  very fun. They just hated Booster and he was I love that he was
• 51:07
  a dick as well. So well that that that's Curtis Armstrong Revenge of the
• 51:12
  Nerds. I was really surprised at that. Yeah, I mean it's been
• 51:15
  a long time since I've seen Jingle all the way and even the kids just
• 51:19
  like beat up. That was probably the I would like a whole movie with
• 51:22
  that kind of tone. That felt sort of Simpson's esque. And yeah,
• 51:28
  I mean yeah, I mean, if we're going to we'll get into dislikes
• 51:30
  a little bit later on doing the moment. Yeah, yeah, but I
• 51:32
  mean but that scene and yeah and that yeah, just everyone's disdained boosters and
• 51:38
  offering him the booster toy and laughing at his face. By the way,
• 51:43
  I mean a lot of I wouln't necessarily say cameos, but early appearances by
• 51:47
  semi familiar faces. One of the one of the guys at that at the
• 51:52
  First Apartment store, the guy. It's Chris Parnell. He's an SNL cast
• 51:55
  member. He was on thirty Rock, and he's a voice on Archer Doctor
• 52:00
  Spaceman, and he did Doctor Spaceman, and he's been a bunch of movies
• 52:04
  as well. I mean not to draw too long a bow here, but
• 52:07
  I would say he is almost a worthy success at Phil Hartman, Yeah,
• 52:13
  I would. He is a guy who looks very straight but has just under
• 52:21
  and can play very straight and sincere but has underlying weirdness and can also play
• 52:24
  smarm me very well. Can step into any comic project and deliver as well.
• 52:32
  Like he's what are they like the thirteen percenters, the guys that improve
• 52:36
  anything around them by five tool player, perhaps five tool players, A five
• 52:43
  player. I don't know idea what that is. They can do just a
• 52:45
  bad anything. Are you trying to sport? Am I trying to support it?
• 52:49
  He's Timmer tool man, Taylor dislikes. Tell us what you didn't like?
• 52:52
  Match? I'm sure I'm looking. Look at his list, it's a
• 52:59
  shindless list. Let I assume guy, that you're going to talk about tone
• 53:02
  and the inconsistency of tone. I am inde you're gonna talk about I'm gonna
• 53:06
  let you do that first, and then that'll lead into me. Okay,
• 53:08
  well, let's bring up how much compared to flying High again? Let's get
• 53:12
  mied it. They opened this door, they'll never sleep again. Well,
• 53:23
  I mentioned before when I was talking about my likes, how it captures this
• 53:25
  manic spirit of your consumerism. Maybe one of my problems with it is that
• 53:30
  it's not manic enough. I think this, I mean, like my dream
• 53:35
  version this would be directed by like maybe the likes of Barry Solomon Felm or
• 53:40
  Joe Dante. You would have a little more sort of Looney Tunes energy to
• 53:44
  it. It met him black, didn't he? Yeah, he could go
• 53:46
  the other way about the two guys behind Uncut Gems. Oh my god,
• 53:50
  the Safeties. Yeah, that was manic. That was that was intense.
• 53:54
  I needed to have a rest after watching the movie. Yeah, I was
• 53:59
  exhausted. And then when it I was like, what no spoilers of course
• 54:04
  recently had someone put Uncut Gems without any idea what it was? That was
• 54:08
  staying ashes compolution guy guy through ten years on top of me and not and
• 54:19
  like from Country Australia, not a movie fan. It's like, dam Sad,
• 54:22
  I don't put that on. And like I saw this look come over
• 54:24
  his face about two minutes in and I was like, I should warn you
• 54:29
  this is a pretty intense movie. It's like, is it good? I'm
• 54:31
  like, it's fucking excellent, but just reset your expectations now I get it.
• 54:38
  He's dead anyway. Uh yeah, I mean it's cartoonish and it's broad
• 54:51
  and all that, but it's it's sort of it seems to be operating it
• 54:54
  like maybe sixty percent. It's not quite manic. I blame Sinbad for this.
• 55:00
  Simbad's in my dislike I feel like him and Arnold. I just couldn't
• 55:05
  buy the chemistry I feel like. So there was in my notes, I
• 55:09
  came across the fact that Joe Pesci was the original for that and some of
• 55:15
  the speeches that Simbad has felt like Leo Getz, and I was like,
• 55:20
  oh, man, I could imagine Joe Peshi delivering this dynascene. I would
• 55:22
  have so much more sympathy for the late look Joe Pesci would give that.
• 55:29
  Yeah. Yeah, Simbad just never hits well. The other thing is,
• 55:31
  I mean I think they talk about bo cast sinbad because you know, he
• 55:35
  would appear more of like an obstacle or a threat. It would make it
• 55:38
  a match, make the match more either. But then Joe Peshi is not
• 55:42
  a threat that he doesn't. He does it with his voice, you know,
• 55:45
  and his eyes, his genuine craziness. Funny. You may well have
• 55:51
  you may like, but you may well have people going well. So you
• 55:54
  couldn't get Danny Devita for this role, and they had to get another short
• 55:58
  going in. You had to get another short Italian. But imagine Joe Peshi
• 56:00
  in that scene with the clerks laughing in his face. Oh. Absolutely yeah.
• 56:05
  And the other thing is, you know, at the very end,
• 56:07
  when it's basically this oh and has nightmare, Sindbad is chasing this kid?
• 56:12
  What is happening all over the place. If you've got someone who is basically
• 56:15
  the same size as Jake Lloyd, it's kind of funnier. And looking at
• 56:21
  this, it's like, well, this is dangerous, you know, and
• 56:22
  you know, I'm yeah, I'm looking at this chase and this, you
• 56:28
  know, climbing ladders and falling off buildings and all this kind of stuff.
• 56:30
  Is like with Peshi, it's more of a cartoon with this, it just
• 56:34
  seems like you're taking me out of it and all. Yeah, and look,
• 56:37
  all due respect to Sinbad, which is sorry, not a whole lot,
• 56:39
  but yeah, you just feel like, okay, Sindbad riff well apparently
• 56:46
  most of his stuff was in price for his stuff and it felt that way,
• 56:49
  but I just watched her going. It feels like Joe Peshi, if
• 56:52
  he was doing this, he would ensure that Arnold was the star of the
• 56:54
  scene and not him, where Sinbad felt like he was trying to steal the
• 56:58
  scene every time he was on it. Have you heard the story about the
• 57:02
  genie movie that Sindbad supposedly starred in, and everybody thinks that there's this genie
• 57:07
  movie that never happened, that never happened. I have in my I have
• 57:12
  a memory of this movie. Yeah, it's called Shazam with two a's,
• 57:15
  but it's not. There's a movie called Kazam with Shackam. But I don't
• 57:22
  know if someone started, I don't know if someone started as a goof and
• 57:25
  said, like, hey, remember that nineties movie with Sindbad as the genie.
• 57:30
  I think it was called Shazam seen the and then what's the courts they
• 57:36
  called? There is a thing for that. It's called the Men the Mandellar
• 57:37
  Effect. Yeah, because he's still alive. Yeah, yeah he was.
• 57:43
  Yeah, yeah, No, Adam Sandley did not. Yeah, but I
• 57:49
  mean, Sindbad had a run in the nineties. I mean, he was
• 57:52
  a standing comedian for a while. He was on I think It's on a
• 57:53
  different world that Cosby spinoff, except then Bill was like, I don't like
• 57:59
  the way, you know, I would like to talk to you about your
• 58:04
  stealing scenes from the show. We're canceled at least guys canceled. But you
• 58:10
  know, I just wasn't a fan of him in this movie. No,
• 58:14
  I mean, but he had like he was in house guest with Phil Hartman
• 58:16
  again, like there was a bunch of cheap comedies that came out in the
• 58:21
  nineties. I mean, we sort of films talk about, Oh no,
• 58:23
  this was a great renastost and you know, he had these fantastic filmmakers making
• 58:27
  some of their best work. And you know, you had up and comers
• 58:29
  like Tarantino and David Fincher and Paul Thomas Anderson. You also had a lot
• 58:32
  of ship like this. Yeah, so yeah, and yeah, I think
• 58:36
  you're right. I mean, Sindbad is kind of the weak link in this
• 58:38
  Simbad's performance in three words, mich erratic did not laugh. I dead on
• 58:54
  arrival. I had a really hard time watching this movie. And I will
• 59:00
  send you the unedited I told you before that I was rather than typing notes,
• 59:05
  so I was just dictating myself. I'll send you some of the I'll
• 59:08
  send you the raw version. If there's anything in there that you feel that
• 59:12
  is worthy of chucking onto this when you release it to the patrons, feel
• 59:15
  free. But I had a really hard time figuring out just who the fuck
• 59:16
  this movie was for. And weird time, isn't it and the tone and
• 59:21
  Sinbad plays into that for a lot, like there's there's wacky, goofy elements
• 59:25
  to this. There's some broad comedy and slapstick. But then at the same
• 59:30
  time Mickey's Dynasne. What the fuck is that? All? Before I even
• 59:32
  get there. The first time we're introduced to Symbad, he just chokes a
• 59:36
  random woman on the street. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. One's like,
• 59:38
  that's cool, that's cool. Yeah, like that cool it Schwarzenegger with the
• 59:45
  oh poor baby, like those things were like looking at the camera and hamming
• 59:47
  it up. But then Phil Hartman's operating on a completely different level, and
• 59:52
  it's excellent that what he's doing. But as soon as I get to a
• 59:55
  point where I'm like I can settle in and enjoy this, the movie then
• 59:59
  changes gears on me again. It takes me somewhere else, and then by
• 1:00:00
  the time we come back to Phil Artman, I'm recovering from the last ten
• 1:00:04
  minutes. It's very much a sea saw. It didn't need I don't think
• 1:00:06
  it needed Simbad in this at all. Really, you could just Arnold just
• 1:00:08
  things happening to Arnold. Meanwhile, a threat being that Phil happon was it
• 1:00:13
  ted at home? Getting movie? There's one antagonist too many. He's got
• 1:00:19
  the cop, he's got Ted at home, and then he's got Ted is
• 1:00:22
  enough of a threat. They could have played that off a different way of
• 1:00:24
  having a You could have got four or five comedians in but different comic obstacle
• 1:00:30
  character. Every single that's a really good been a better way to have rolled
• 1:00:35
  that. Have you leaped ahead to changes that you would make. No,
• 1:00:37
  I've got a different one for that, and it's going to blow your socks
• 1:00:38
  off what I came worrying. So I came away from this movie and like
• 1:00:46
  I mean, anything that I do, I come in with an open mind,
• 1:00:50
  but I'm trying to review it for the good look for the bad.
• 1:00:52
  I didn't laugh at all, like there was. There was a couple of
• 1:00:53
  moments I laughed like Ted. I laughed yeah again, Like I said,
• 1:00:58
  at most I appreciated what Ted was doing. That's a good basically because it
• 1:01:00
  kind of sucked like other things were just not there for me. But the
• 1:01:05
  parallel that that I can draw for this movie and I'll draw to another nineties
• 1:01:09
  institution. This to me is like Sizzler, where you've got Firstly, it
• 1:01:17
  exists for people that don't challenge themselves to be better. Largely that it's it's
• 1:01:22
  like you can have your nan and you can have your kid, and you
• 1:01:25
  can have your parents, and you can have your cousin and you can all
• 1:01:29
  go to the movies and you can all leave and go, well, we
• 1:01:30
  saw a movie and like that spent some time together, and and that's what
• 1:01:36
  that's where the core memory starts, like Espace there, for example, I
• 1:01:37
  have that memory of going to watch it with my mum. You know.
• 1:01:39
  Cool. So this is kind of pre the well Toy Story came out of
• 1:01:47
  the year before. But I mean Pixar kind of ye. I won't say
• 1:01:51
  they masterminded, but it's like, yes, this is a movie you can
• 1:01:53
  take your kids to, but you won't be thinking all the time, oh,
• 1:01:58
  this is always dead. You're kind of like, hey, the this
• 1:02:00
  Toy Story movie is not bad. Hey, I'm kind of into the story
• 1:02:01
  about the bugs. You know. It's this you're kind of going, Schwartzenegger
• 1:02:07
  is the steak at a Sizzler. So you go to Sizzler and you can
• 1:02:10
  have like I'm gonna order my protein. That'll be like my twenty bucks and
• 1:02:13
  then I'll play pay my bit extra for the what's the Wen Salid buffet though
• 1:02:19
  solid bar, that's that's name, So you could you could go to Sizzla
• 1:02:22
  and just go, I'm gonna have the buffet, but if you want a
• 1:02:23
  steak, that's a separate charge. Yeah, And that is like, he's
• 1:02:27
  our twenty million dollars for the star and that's why people are coming to the
• 1:02:30
  movie. And it's equally you get the steak at Sizzler because you're like,
• 1:02:34
  oh, well, at least there's steak. I've seen steak. Steak's been
• 1:02:36
  good at other player. I've had steak before, Steak was awesome, and
• 1:02:38
  then the Sizzler steak comes out and you're like, this is like a fucking
• 1:02:42
  imitation of what steak used to be. And that is very much Arnold in
• 1:02:45
  this movie. He's playing weirdly to type and against type at the same time.
• 1:02:50
  I read that he took this role because he wanted to be in Everyman,
• 1:02:52
  and apparently his version of an every man is a fucking multimillion dollar mattress
• 1:02:57
  sales and that can single handedly pick up two as attendance at the same time
• 1:03:01
  with his left and right arm, but not kick Sinbad's ass in a fight.
• 1:03:07
  Like there's there's weird shit going on with what Schwarzenegger can or can't do.
• 1:03:10
  You can't bench press your way out of this, But he's in every
• 1:03:14
  Man who Doesn't bench press and fight like what that? And then everyone else
• 1:03:17
  in this movie is that all you can eat salad bar where they're all next
• 1:03:22
  to each other. They've got no fucking business being together, and none of
• 1:03:24
  them are doing the same thing. You've got, like spicy meatballs sitting next
• 1:03:28
  to lentils like it just no one's on the same page. It all gets
• 1:03:32
  slopped together on a plate, and all you left with at the end of
• 1:03:36
  the day is regret and a little bit of a feeling like you've been sitting
• 1:03:42
  for not enough time and too much time. At the same time, I'm
• 1:03:45
  wondering when it was that Arnold. I mean, I'm trying to think of
• 1:03:50
  any sort of any other every man rolls that he took True Lies. True
• 1:03:53
  Lies is kind of he's a copy kid again. But even then, it's
• 1:03:57
  kind of the joke that, yeah, you know, Harry Tasker and True
• 1:04:01
  Lies is like I am just a muck and mild computer salesman. Yeah,
• 1:04:06
  b ib ib okay, right there are alive people. We're going to edit
• 1:04:13
  this bit out of the actual show. Okay, hopefully enough, you know,
• 1:04:15
  sctillating content. When would he Yeah, has he done anything else that's
• 1:04:19
  even come close to playing in every Person? I mean we mentioned, we
• 1:04:25
  mentioned his sort of late nineties early two thousand's run, sort of an every
• 1:04:30
  man in Collateral Damage. He's sort of an every man in the Sixth Day,
• 1:04:33
  that cloning one. Yeah, kind of yeah, But I mean he's
• 1:04:36
  not playing Hi, I'm Dutch super soldier. It's me versus the Predator,
• 1:04:43
  John Matrix and Commando or a terminator or something like that. The thing I'm
• 1:04:46
  spanted to, it could never possibly try to be in every Man is so
• 1:04:49
  far humble upbringing, like yeah, absolutely came came from very little, but
• 1:04:57
  from teen years like he was all ready, He's been incredibly driven. He's
• 1:05:01
  a soldier, he's different to anyone else on the planet. He then explodes
• 1:05:08
  into a movie star almost instantly. He's dating Kennedy's like he's just there is
• 1:05:16
  nothing even remotely regular. The idea that he was like, that's what I
• 1:05:19
  want to do makes as much sense as me wanting to be like wanting to
• 1:05:25
  play a three time or a six time mister Olympia. That's the thing.
• 1:05:29
  If he's he is a savvy person, I'm wonder if he's sort of seeing
• 1:05:32
  which way the wind is blowing. He's seeing that people like Tianu Reeves in
• 1:05:36
  Speed, who was not necessarily a superman people. He saw that Tom Cruise
• 1:05:42
  was sort of like starting a muscle into the action genre. And I mean
• 1:05:45
  Cruise is probably the savviest person in Hollywood in the last fifty years. So
• 1:05:48
  he's thinking, oh, maybe larger than life isn't cutting it anymore. Maybe
• 1:05:55
  people want more relatable. So you know, I'll take a stab at that
• 1:06:00
  stab what you get? His jingle all the way. The difficult The thing
• 1:06:02
  that you cannot get around with him is the speech delivery, and not not
• 1:06:06
  in the It's not about making fun of the different tho like poor baby camera
• 1:06:12
  so faked. Then this is just a thing of having such a thick accent
• 1:06:15
  and having English be a second language. And sure he speaks very very well.
• 1:06:19
  He's a very intelligent guy, but you can't pass off as an every
• 1:06:24
  man when you sound robotic when you're delivering some like a foreign tongue. Plus
• 1:06:30
  he was the terminator and it's impossible to become an every minute after you've been
• 1:06:32
  the terminator, right. I kind of didn't mind the poor baby thing.
• 1:06:35
  I didn't mind all the Really, there were some quips I thought he nailed
• 1:06:40
  pretty well. I was thought poor baby it was one of those ones.
• 1:06:42
  I was like, Ah, it felt like for me, that's one for
• 1:06:45
  the trailer. It's not. It's never been my style of comedy when someone
• 1:06:48
  looks at the cameras to deliver the joke other than Ted Striker and flying high
• 1:06:53
  looking down the saying what a pissle? All right, guys, That about
• 1:06:58
