2:53
That
2:53
got
2:53
a
2:53
Turboman
2:54
for
2:54
Johnny
2:55
months
2:55
ago.
2:56
It's
2:56
nestled
2:57
safely
2:57
under
2:58
our
2:58
tree.
2:59
Welcome
3:00
to
3:00
Verbal

3:01
Whether
3:01
you're
3:01
a
3:01
brand
3:01
new
3:01
listener,
3:02
whether
3:02
you're
3:02
a
3:02
regular
3:03
returning
3:03
listener,
3:03
thank
3:04
you
3:04
so
3:04
much
3:04
for
3:04
being
3:05
here.
3:05
Thank
3:06
you
3:06
so
3:06
much
3:06
for
3:06
choosing
3:06
to
3:07
listen
3:07
to
3:07
this
3:07
podcast.
3:08
I'm
3:08
so
3:08
happy
3:08
to
3:09
have
3:09
you
3:09
here
3:09
for
3:09
the
3:09
history
3:10
and
3:10
legacy
3:11
of
3:11
Jingle
3:12
all
3:12
the
3:12
Way.
3:13
We
3:13
are
3:13
fully
3:14
in
3:14
going
3:15
on
3:15
the
3:15
run
3:15
up
3:15
to
3:15
Christmas
3:16
now,
3:17
and
3:17
I
3:17
love
3:17
doing
3:18
Christmas
3:18
movies
3:18
on
3:18
this
3:19
podcast
3:19
because
3:20
it
3:20
just
3:20
genuinely
3:21
makes
3:21
me
3:21
start
3:22
to
3:22
feel
3:22
quite
3:22
festive,
3:23
even
3:23
though
3:24
I
3:24
am
3:24
recording
3:25
this
3:25
in
3:25
November.
3:25
But
3:26
that's
3:26
how
3:26
podcasting
3:27
works.
3:28
Huge
3:28
thank
3:28
you.
3:29
If
3:29
you
3:29
are
3:29
a
3:30
regular
3:30
returning
3:30
listener,
3:31
thank
3:31
you
3:31
for
3:31
coming
3:31
back
3:32
to
3:32
this
3:32
podcast,
3:33
for
3:33
continuing
3:34
to
3:34
listen
3:34
and
3:34
support
3:35
this
3:35
podcast.
3:36
This
3:36
podcast
3:36
will
3:37
be
3:37
seven
3:37
years
3:37
old
3:37
in
3:38
February,
3:38
a
3:39
fact
3:39
that
3:39
constantly
3:40
blows
3:40
my
3:40
mind.
3:41
And
3:41
it's
3:41
been
3:41
going
3:42
now
3:42
for,
3:42
oh,
3:43
324
3:44
episodes.
3:44
So
3:46
sometimes
3:46
I
3:47
wonder,
3:47
like,
3:48
how
3:48
am
3:48
I
3:48
actually
3:49
doing
3:49
this?
3:49
But
3:49
I
3:50
am
3:50
doing
3:50
this.
3:51
So
3:51
I
3:51
guess
3:51
I'm
3:52
just
3:52
going
3:52
to
3:52
carry
3:52
on
3:52
doing
3:52
this.
3:53
But
3:54
however
3:54
many
3:55
episodes
3:55
of
3:55
this
3:55
podcast
3:56
you've
3:56
listened
3:56
to,
3:56
even
3:56
if
3:57
this
3:57
is
3:57
your
3:57
first,
3:58
thank
3:58
you
3:58
so
3:58
much
3:59
for
3:59
your
3:59
support
4:00
because
4:00
listening
4:01
to
4:01
a
4:01
podcast
4:01
is
4:01
supporting
4:02
a
4:02
podcast
4:03
and
4:03
it
4:03
really
4:03
genuinely
4:04
does
4:04
mean
4:05
so
4:05
much.
4:06
I'm
4:07
just
4:07
going
4:07
to
4:07
jump
4:07
straight
4:07
in
4:08
because
4:08
in
4:09
the
4:09
decades
4:10
since
4:10
Jingle
4:11
all
4:11
the
4:11
Way
4:11
came
4:12
out,
4:12
it
4:13
may
4:13
have
4:13
not
4:13
set
4:14
the
4:14
box
4:14
office
4:14
alight
4:15
or
4:15
charmed
4:16
critics
4:16
at
4:16
the
4:17
time.
4:18
But
4:18
it
4:18
hasn't
4:19
faded
4:19
into
4:19
obscurity.
4:21
On
4:21
the
4:22
contrary,
4:22
its
4:23
popularity
4:23
seems
4:24
to
4:24
grow
4:24
every
4:25
year.
4:25
And
4:26
it's
4:26
now
4:26
widely
4:27
regarded
4:27
as
4:27
a
4:28
holiday
4:28
classic.
4:29
Loved
4:29
by
4:29
millennials
4:30
and
4:31
loved
4:31
by
4:31
the
4:32
people
4:32
who
4:32
made
4:32
it.
4:33
You're
4:34
my
4:34
number
4:34
one
4:35
listener.
4:35
Here's
4:36
the
4:36
trailer
4:36
for
4:37
Jingle
4:37
all
4:38
the
4:38
Way.
6:52
Mattress
6:52
salesman
6:53
Howard
6:53
Langston
6:54
is
6:54
great
6:54
at
6:54
his
6:55
job
6:55
at
6:55
providing
6:55
for
6:56
his
6:56
family.
6:57
But
6:57
not
6:57
so
6:57
great
6:58
as
6:58
a
6:58
present
6:58
husband
6:59
and
6:59
father.
7:00
After
7:00
he
7:00
misses
7:01
his
7:01
son
7:01
Jamie's
7:02
karate
7:02
grading,
7:03
he
7:03
asks
7:04
him
7:04
how
7:04
he
7:04
can
7:04
make
7:05
it
7:05
up
7:05
to
7:05
him.
7:06
All
7:06
Jamie
7:07
wants
7:07
for
7:07
Christmas
7:07
is
7:08
a
7:08
Turboman
7:08
action
7:09
figure.
7:10
The
7:10
hottest
7:10
toy
7:10
of
7:11
the
7:11
year.
7:12
Unfortunately
7:12
for
7:13
Howard,
7:13
his
7:13
wife
7:14
asked
7:14
him
7:14
to
7:14
pick
7:15
one
7:15
up
7:15
weeks
7:15
ago,
7:16
and
7:16
it's
7:16
now
7:17
Christmas
7:17
Eve
7:17
and
7:18
every
7:18
store
7:18
is
7:19
sold
7:19
out.
7:20
Howard
7:20
must
7:20
spend
7:21
the
7:21
day
7:21
scrambling
7:22
from
7:22
store
7:22
to
7:22
store
7:23
in
7:23
desperate
7:24
search
7:24
of
7:24
one,
7:24
crossing
7:25
paths
7:25
with
7:25
the
7:26
equally
7:26
hapless
7:26
Moiran,
7:27
a
7:27
conspiracy
7:28
theorist
7:28
postal
7:29
worker
7:29
whose
7:30
son
7:30
also
7:31
wants
7:31
a
7:31
Turboman
7:32
more
7:32
than
7:33
anything.
7:34
Let's
7:34
run
7:35
through
7:35
the
7:35
cast
7:35
we
7:36
have
7:36
Arnold
7:36
Schwarzenegger
7:37
as
7:37

7:49
Robert

Conrad
7:50
as
7:50
Officer
7:50
Hummel,
7:51
Martin

Mull

as

KQRS
7:54

Jim

Belushi

and
8:00
Paul
8:00

8:01
as

Giant
8:01
Santa.
8:03
Jingle
8:04
all
8:04
the
8:04
Way
8:04
was
8:04
written
8:05
by
8:05
Randy
8:05
Kornfield
8:07
and
8:07
was
8:07
directed
8:07
by
8:08
Brian
8:08
Levant.
8:10
Every
8:10
year
8:11
since
8:12
the
8:12
50s,
8:13
there
8:13
has
8:13
been
8:13
a
8:13
toy
8:14
that
8:14
children
8:14
have
8:15
wanted
8:15
more
8:15
than
8:16
anything
8:16
else.
8:17
From
8:18
Barbie
8:18
in
8:18
1959
8:20
to
8:20
the
8:20
Easy
8:20
Bake
8:21
Oven
8:21
in
8:21
1963,
8:23
GI
8:23
Joe
8:23
in
8:24
1970
8:25
and
8:25
the
8:25
Rubik's
8:26
Cube
8:26
in
8:26
1980.
8:27
In
8:28
every
8:28
generation,
8:29
one
8:29
toy
8:30
is
8:30
given
8:30
the
8:30
responsibility
8:31
to
8:31
be
8:31
the
8:32
one
8:32
thing
8:32
each
8:33
child
8:33
can't
8:33
live
8:34
without.
8:35
But
8:35
as
8:35
the
8:35
decades
8:36
went
8:36
on,
8:36
the
8:37
effects
8:37
of
8:37
TV
8:37
advertising
8:38
ramped
8:39
up.
8:39
Materialistic
8:40
desires
8:40
and
8:41
consumerism
8:41
started
8:42
to
8:42
infiltrate
8:43
everyday
8:43
family
8:44
homes.
8:45
People
8:45
wanted
8:46
more
8:46
and
8:46
more
8:47
and
8:47
expected
8:47
to
8:48
find
8:48
more
8:49
and
8:49
more.
8:50
In
8:50
late
8:50
1983,
8:51
it
8:52
hit
8:52
fever
8:52
pitch
8:53
when
8:53
violence
8:54
broke
8:54
out
8:54
in
8:54
cities
8:55
and
8:55
towns
8:55
across
8:55
the
8:56
U.S.
8:57
people
8:57
fought
8:58
each
8:58
other,
8:58
would
8:59
hit,
8:59
shove
8:59
and
9:00
trample
9:00
each
9:00
other.
9:01
Some
9:01
even
9:01
used
9:01
baseball
9:02
bats
9:02
to
9:03
attack
9:03
and
9:03
defend
9:04
themselves.
9:05
The
9:05
riots
9:05
lasted
9:06
for
9:06
months,
9:06
with
9:06
thousands
9:07
of
9:07
people
9:07
left
9:08
bruised,
9:08
battered,
9:09
some
9:10
hospitalized,
9:11
and
9:11
most
9:11
egregiously,
9:12
many
9:13
hundreds
9:14
without
9:14
their
9:15
Cabbage
9:15
Patch
9:15
Toy
9:16
kids.
9:17
The
9:17
Cabbage
9:18
Patch
9:18
riot
9:18
stemmed
9:19
from
9:19
toy
9:19
stores
9:20
only
9:20
having
9:21
several
9:21
hundred
9:22
dolls
9:22
and
9:23
thousands
9:23
of
9:23
customers
9:24
descending
9:24
on
9:24
them
9:25
to
9:25
snag
9:26
the
9:26
coveted
9:26
toys
9:27
for
9:27
Christmas.
9:28
Many
9:28
left
9:28
empty
9:29
handed,
9:29
and
9:30
many
9:30
resorted
9:30
to
9:31
violence.
9:32
By
9:32
early
9:32
1984,
9:33
supply
9:34
kept
9:34
up
9:34
with
9:34
demand
9:35
and
9:35
the
9:35
violence
9:36
declined.
9:37
Now
9:37
no
9:38
one
9:38
really
9:38
knew
9:39
why
9:39
the
9:39
Cabbage
9:39
Patch
9:40
Riots
9:40
happened
9:41
other
9:41
than
9:41
parent
9:42
company
9:42
Colaco
9:43
appealing
9:44
to
9:44
a
9:44
huge
9:44
number
9:45
of
9:45
children
9:45
between
9:46
6
9:46
and
9:46
12
9:47
that
9:47
they
9:47
could
9:47
adopt
9:47
their
9:48
own
9:48
doll.
9:48
And
9:49
this
9:49
craze
9:49
foreshadowed
9:50
similar
9:50
holiday
9:51
toy
9:51
crazes
9:52
and
9:52
now,
9:53
of
9:53
course,
9:53
Black
9:53
Friday
9:54
sales.
9:55
But
9:55
in
9:55
the
9:55
80s,
9:56
the
9:56
Internet
9:56
wasn't
9:57
a
9:57
thing,
9:57
and
9:58
in
9:58
the
9:58
90s
9:58
it
9:58
was
9:59
in
9:59
its
9:59
infancy
10:00
and
10:00
you
10:00
couldn't
10:01
check
10:01
the
10:01
stock
10:01
in
10:02
stores.
10:02
You
10:02
had
10:02
to
10:03
drive
10:03
to
10:03
a
10:04
shop
10:04
to
10:04
pick
10:05
up
10:05
the
10:05
latest
10:05
craze
10:06
that
10:06
your
10:06
kids
10:06
were
10:06
desperate
10:07
for.
10:08
The
10:08
Cabbage
10:09
Patch
10:09
rights
10:09
were
10:10
extreme,
10:10
and
10:11
they
10:11
weren't
10:11
isolated
10:12
either.
10:13
In
10:13
1993,
10:14
the
10:14
same
10:14
thing
10:15
happened
10:15
again,
10:16
this
10:16
time
10:16
with
10:16
Power
10:17
Rangers.
10:18
A
10:18
year
10:18
later,
10:19
in
10:19
1994,
10:20
the
10:20
manufacturer
10:21
enlisted
10:22
11
10:22
additional
10:23
factories
10:23
and
10:24
shipped
10:24
10
10:24
times
10:25
the
10:25
number
10:25
of
10:25
Power
10:25
Ranger
10:26
toys
10:26
that
10:27
it
10:27
did
10:27
at
10:27
Christmas
10:28
1993.
10:29
And
10:29
yet
10:29
the
10:29
toys
10:30
were
10:30
so
10:30
scarce,
10:31
parents
10:31
were
10:32
setting
10:32
up
10:32
tents
10:33
to
10:33
camp
10:33
outside
10:34
of
10:34
stores,
10:35
driving
10:35
across
10:35
state
10:36
lines
10:36
to
10:36
get
10:37
to
10:37
stores
10:37
with
10:37
stock,
10:38
calling
10:38
Bandai
10:39
700
10:40
times
10:40
a
10:40
week
10:41
and
10:41
sending
10:41
them
10:42
300
10:42
letters
10:43
a
10:43
week
10:43
trying
10:44
to
10:44
locate
10:44
the
10:44
toys.
10:45
They
10:45
also
10:46
bribed
10:46
sales
10:47
assistants
10:47
hundreds
10:48
of
10:48
dollars
10:48
to
10:49
save
10:49
certain
10:49
figures.
10:51
Michael
10:51
Goldstein,

the
10:52

CEO
10:53
of

10:53
Us,
10:54
called
10:54
it
10:54
the
10:54
biggest
10:55
phenomenon
10:55
we
10:55
have
10:56
ever
10:56
seen
10:56
in
10:56
the
10:57
toy
10:57
business.
10:58
You
10:58
could
10:58
buy
10:58
Power
10:59
Rangers
10:59
clothing,
11:00
watches
11:00
and
11:00
lunchboxes,
11:01
but
11:02
you
11:02
couldn't
11:02
buy
11:02
the
11:02
action
11:03
figures
11:03
with
11:04
the
11:04
white
11:04

11:04
pink
11:05
ranges,
11:05
the
11:05
most
11:06
elusive
11:06
with
11:07
black
11:07
market
11:07
sellers.
11:08
And
11:09
possibly
11:09
also
11:09
a
11:09
warehouse
11:10
full
11:10
of
11:10
mall
11:10
Santas
11:11
offering
11:12
pink
11:12
Rangers,
11:13
which
11:13
usually
11:13
retailed
11:14
at
11:14
$13
11:15
for
11:16
over
11:16
$50.
11:18
To
11:18
put
11:18
it
11:18
into
11:19
figures,
11:19
Power
11:19
Rangers
11:20
share
11:20
of
11:20
the
11:20
market
11:21
for

11:22

11:22
$1
11:22

11:23
in
11:23
1994.

was
11:26
$550
11:27

while

11:35
The
11:35
only
11:35
other
11:36
toy
11:36
to
11:36
sell
11:36
as
11:37
well
11:37
as

Power

11:38
was
11:38
Barbie,
11:39
and
11:39
she'd
11:39
been
11:40
doing
11:40
it
11:40
for
11:40
over
11:40
30
11:41
years.
11:41
At
11:42
that
11:42
point,
11:43
trying
11:43
to
11:44
get
11:44
his
11:44
eldest
11:45
son,
11:45
also
11:45
called
11:46
Jamie
11:47
a
11:47
red
11:47
or
11:47
green
11:48
Power
11:48
Ranger,
11:49
was
11:49
Randy
11:49
Kornfield.
11:50
And
11:51
he
11:51
was
11:51
struggling
11:51
with
11:52
the
11:52
long
11:52
queues
11:52
for
11:52
toy
11:53
stores,
11:53
the
11:54
sold
11:54
out
11:54
signs,
11:55
and
11:55
hearing
11:55
other
11:56
parents
11:56
going
11:56
to
11:56
great
11:57
lengths
11:57
to
11:57
get
11:57
these
11:58
toys,
11:58
which
11:58
sparked
11:59
an
11:59
idea
11:59
for
12:00
him
12:00
to
12:00
write
12:00
a
12:00
screenplay.
12:01
Before
12:02
he
12:02
wrote
12:02
it,
12:02
he
12:03
pitched
12:03
it
12:03
to
12:03
Nickelodeon
12:04
movies,
12:04
which
12:05
was
12:05
just
12:05
getting
12:05
started
12:06
at
12:06
the
12:06
time,
12:06
and
12:07
they
12:07
passed.
12:07
So
12:08
he
12:08
decided
12:08
to
12:08
write
12:09
it
12:09
on
12:09
specific.
12:10
The
12:10
original
12:11
script
12:11
was
12:11
darker
12:12
in
12:12
tone,
12:13
Turboman
12:13
was
12:14
called
12:14
Turbo
12:14
Tom,
12:15
and
12:15
the
12:15
third
12:15
act
12:16
took
12:16
place
12:16
at
12:17
a
12:17
Turboman
12:17
factory,
12:18
with
12:18
the
12:19
father
12:19
having
12:19
to
12:19
go
12:20
up
12:20
against
12:20
a
12:20
full
12:21
sized
12:21
robotic
12:22
Turboman.
12:23
Kornfield,
12:24
who
12:24
was
12:24
a
12:24
story
12:25
analyst
12:25
at
12:25
20th
12:26
Century
12:26
Fox
12:27
at
12:27
the
12:27
time,
12:27
used
12:28
a
12:28
pseudonym,
12:29
Ed
12:29
McQueen,
12:30
for
12:30
the
12:30
original
12:30
draft.
12:31
When
12:32
it
12:32
was
12:32
finished,
12:32
a
12:32
few
12:33
people
12:33
responded
12:33
positively,
12:34
so
12:35
he
12:35
passed
12:35
it
12:35
to
12:35
a
12:36
couple
12:36
of
12:36
agents,
12:37
one
12:37
of
12:37
whom
12:37
was
12:38
film
12:38
producer
12:38
Warren
12:39
Zeid,
12:39
who
12:40
would
12:40
go
12:40
on
12:40
to
12:40
produce
12:41
American
12:41
Pie
12:41
and
12:42
Final
12:42
Destination,
12:43
and
12:43
he
12:44
started
12:44
shipping
12:45
the
12:45
script
12:45
around.
12:47
That
12:47
script
12:47
would
12:47
end
12:48
up
12:48
in
12:48
the
12:48
lap
12:48
of
12:48
Chris
12:49
Columbus,
12:50
no
12:50
stranger
12:50
to
12:50
family
12:51
based
12:51
comedic
12:52
Christmas
12:52
movies
12:52
like

12:54
lost
12:54
in
12:55
New
12:55
York.
12:56
Columbus
12:56
had
12:56
experienced
12:57
his
12:57
own
12:57
toy
12:58
craze
12:58
in
12:58
1995
13:00
when
13:00
he
13:00
tried
13:00
desperately
13:01
to
13:01
find
13:01
a
13:02
Buzz
13:02
Lightyear
13:02
action
13:03
figure
13:03
from
13:03
Toy
13:04
Story.
13:05
He
13:05
performed
13:05
uncredited
13:06
rewrites
13:06
on
13:06
Cornfield's
13:07
script,
13:08
changing
13:08
the
13:08
ending
13:09
to
13:09
the
13:09
Christmas
13:10
parade
13:10
ending,
13:11
which
13:11
then
13:11
attracted
13:12
executives
13:12
at
13:13
20th
13:13
Century
13:14
Fox
13:14
who
13:14
at
13:15
that
13:15
point
13:15
didn't
13:15
know
13:16
the
13:16
writer
13:16
of
13:16
the
13:16
script
13:17
actually
13:18
worked
13:18
for
13:18
them.
13:19
They
13:19
soon
13:19
found
13:20
out
13:20
that
13:20
Ed
13:20
McQueen
13:21
was
13:21
actually
13:22
Randy
13:22
Kornfield.
13:24
Meanwhile,
13:25
a
13:25
remake
13:25
of
13:26
Planet
13:26
of
13:26
the
13:26

by

20th
13:28
Century
13:29
Fox
13:29
since
13:29
1988.
13:31
And
13:31
the
13:31
project,
13:32
titled
13:32
Return
13:33
of
13:33
the
13:33
Apes,
13:33
was
13:34
due
13:34
to
13:34
star
13:35
Arnold
13:35
Schwarzenegger,
13:36
who
13:36
had
13:36
signed
13:37
on

13:37
March
13:37
1994
13:39
alongside
13:39
Chris
13:40
Columbus,
13:41
who
13:41
joined
13:41
the
13:41
project
13:42
as
13:42
director
13:43
in
13:43
early
13:43
1995.
13:45
Columbus
13:46
brought
13:46
on
13:46
board
13:47
Sam
13:47
Hamm
13:47
to
13:48
rewrite
13:48
the
13:48

13:49
The
13:49
script
13:50
was
13:50
given
13:50
a
13:50
mixed
13:50
reception
13:51
by
13:51
the
13:51

13:52

13:52
Columbus
13:53
then
13:53
jumped
13:53
ship
13:54
to
13:54
join
13:54
Jingle
13:55
all
13:55
the
13:55

13:55
instead,
13:56
which
13:56
he
13:56
would
13:56
produce
13:57
under
13:57
his
13:57

13:58
new

14:02
that
14:02
the

Christopher
14:03
Columbus
14:04
reached
14:04
the

14:05
With
14:06
the
14:06
Return
14:06
of
14:06
the
14:06
Apes
14:07
in
14:07
limbo,
14:07
Arnold
14:08
Schwarzenegger
14:09
would
14:09
go
14:09
off
14:09
to
14:09
make
14:10
a
14:10
racer.
14:10
But
14:11
he
14:11
would
14:11
also
14:11
be
14:12
vitally
14:12
important
14:12
to
14:13
Jingle
14:13
all
14:13
the

14:14
Getting
14:14
a
14:14
green
14:14
light,
14:15
he
14:15
would
14:16
eventually
14:16
abandon
14:17
Return
14:17
of
14:17
the
14:17
Apes,
14:18
which
14:18
would

become

14:21
Mark
14:21
Wahlberg.
14:22
Now,
14:22
of
14:23
course,
14:23
Schwarzenegger
14:23
was
14:24
no
14:24
stranger
14:24
to
14:25
comedies
14:25
because
14:25
he
14:26
he'd
14:26
already
14:26
flexed
14:27
his
14:27
comedic
14:27
muscles
14:28
with
14:28
twins
14:28
in
14:28
1988
14:30
and
14:30
Kindergarten
14:31
Cop
14:31
in
14:31
1990,
14:32
and
14:32
in
14:32
1994
14:33
had
14:34
reunited
14:34
with
14:35
his
14:35
twins
14:35
co
14:35
star
14:36
Danny
14:36
DeVito
14:37
for
14:37
Junior.
14:38
That
14:38
is
14:38
relevant
14:39
to
14:39
this
14:39
too.
14:40
But
14:40
Randy
14:40
Kornfield
14:41
never
14:42
envisaged
14:42
Howard
14:43
Langston
14:44
as
14:44
a
14:44
big,
14:45
muscular
14:45
guy.
14:46
He
14:46
saw
14:46
him
14:47
as
14:47
more
14:47
of
14:47
a
14:47
Steve
14:48
Martin
14:48
type.
14:49
At
14:49
one
14:49
time,
14:50
Daniel
14:50
Stern
14:51
was
14:51
considered
14:51
for
14:51
the
14:52
role
14:52
until
14:53
Arnie
14:53
got
14:53
involved.
14:54
Schwarzenegger
14:55
loved
14:55
doing
14:55
action
14:56
movies
14:56
and
14:56
he
14:56
loved
14:57
doing
14:57
comedies,
14:58
and
14:58
he
14:58
wanted
14:58
to
14:59
alternate
14:59
one
14:59
and
15:00
the
15:00
other.
15:00
So
15:01
when
15:01
the
15:01
Jingle
15:01
all
15:01
the
15:01
Way
15:02
script
15:02
landed
15:02
with
15:03
him,
15:03
he
15:04
loved
15:04
the
15:04
idea
15:04
of
15:05
playing
15:05
an
15:05
everyday
15:06
guy,
15:06
a
15:07
husband
15:07
and
15:07
a
15:08
father,
15:08
as
15:08
well
15:09
as
15:09
having
15:10
the
15:10
action
15:10
and
15:11
the
15:11
comedy.
15:12
His
15:12
physique
15:12
wouldn't
15:13
only
15:13
come
15:13
in
15:13
handy
15:14
for
15:14
the
15:14
action
15:14
parts,
15:15
but
15:15
also
15:16
for
15:16
when
15:16
Howard
15:16
Langston
15:17
becomes
15:18
Turboman
15:19
to
15:19
play
15:20
opposite
15:20
Arnie.
15:21
The
15:21
filmmakers
15:22
got
15:22
in
15:22
Touch
15:22
with
15:22
Danny
15:23
DeVito
15:23
with
15:24
the
15:24
idea
15:25
that
15:25
both
15:25
Schwarzenegger
15:26
and
15:26
DeVito
15:27
would
15:27
agree
15:27
to
15:27
star
15:27
in
15:28
the
15:28
movie,
15:28
with
15:29
DeVito
15:29
as
15:29
Myron,
15:30
the
15:30
postal
15:31
worker
15:31
also
15:31
trying
15:32
to
15:32
find
15:32
his
15:32
child,
15:33
a
15:33
Turboman.
15:34
But
15:34
while
15:34
Schwarzenegger
15:35
was
15:35
interested,
15:36
DeVito
15:36
wasn't.
15:37
The
15:37
movie
15:38
was
15:38
green
15:38
lit
15:39
purely
15:39
on
15:39
Schwarzenegger's
15:40
casting,
15:40
which
15:41
also
15:41
netted
15:41
him
15:42
a
15:42
$20
15:42
million
15:43
paycheck.
15:44
His
15:45
agent
15:45
recommended
15:46
comedian
15:46
Sinbad
15:47
for
15:47
the
15:47
Myron
15:48
role,
15:48
and
15:49
for
15:49
his
15:49
part,
15:49
Sinbad
15:50
wasn't
15:50
the
15:50
only
15:50
actor
15:51
who
15:51
ended
15:51
up
15:51
in
15:52
the
15:52
film
15:52
to
15:52
audition
15:53
for
15:53
Myron.
15:54
Both
15:54
Phil
15:54
Hartman
15:55
and
15:55
Jim
15:55
Belushi
15:56
tried
15:56
out
15:56
for
15:57
it,
15:57
but
15:57
Sinbad
15:58
was
15:58
a
15:58
similar
15:58
size
15:59
to
15:59
Schwarzenegger.
16:00
Hartman
16:01
would
16:01
end
16:01
up
16:01
in
16:01
the
16:01
role
16:01
of
16:02
sneezy
16:02
neighbour
16:03
Ted
16:03
and
16:03
Belushi
16:04
as
16:04
the
16:04
mall
16:05
Santa.
16:05
And
16:06
this
16:06
would
16:06
be
16:06
Hartman's
16:07
last
16:07
movie
16:08
released
16:08
before
16:09
his
16:09
tragic,
16:09
untimely
16:10
death.
16:10
The
16:11
following
16:11
year,
16:12
Sinbad
16:13
ordered
16:13
a
16:13
mailman
16:14
outfit
16:14
for
16:14
his
16:15
audition.
16:15
Turned
16:16
up
16:16
for
16:16
the
16:16
audition,
16:17
and
16:17
everyone
16:18
else
16:18
was
16:18
also
16:18
wearing
16:19
a
16:19
mailman
16:20
outfit.
16:20
He
16:21
was
16:21
tired
16:21
of
16:21
auditioning
16:22
at
16:22
the
16:22
time.
16:22
And
16:23
when
16:23
he
16:23
was
16:23
called
16:23
in,
16:24
the
16:24
script
16:24
fell
16:25
out
16:25
of
16:25
his
16:25
hands
16:25
and
16:26
went
16:26
everywhere.
16:27
He
16:27
was
16:27
so
16:28
agitated
16:29
that
16:29
he
16:29
flew
16:29
off
16:30
the
16:30
handle,
16:30
jumped
16:31
on
16:31
the
16:31
table,
16:32
chastised
16:32
Schwarzenegger,
16:33
did
16:34
the
16:34
lines
16:34
and
16:34
left.
16:35
He
16:35
was
16:36
certain
16:36
that
16:36
he'd
16:36
fudged
16:37
the
16:37
audition,
16:38
but
16:38
they
16:38
loved
16:38
his
16:38
off
16:39
the
16:39
cuff
16:39
remarks,
16:40
and
16:40
he
16:40
got
16:40
the
16:40
part.
16:41
Based
16:41
on
16:42
that
16:42
supposed
16:43
terrible
16:43
audition.
16:44
It
16:45
turns
16:45
out
16:45
that
16:45
Sinbad
16:46
wouldn't
16:46
use
16:46
much
16:47
in
16:47
the
16:47
way
16:47
of
16:47
the
16:47
script
16:48
in
16:48
the
16:48
movie
16:48
either.
16:49
He
16:49
would
16:49
improv
16:50
most
16:50
of
16:50
his
16:50
scenes,
16:51
and
16:51
Schwarzenegger
16:52
would
16:52
improv
16:53
with
16:53
him
16:53
in
16:53
those
16:54
scenes.
16:55
In
16:55
1995,
16:56
Brian
16:57
Levant
16:57
was
16:57
coming
16:57
off
16:58
of
16:58
the
16:58
Flintstones,
16:58
which
16:59
had
16:59
been
16:59
a
16:59
huge
16:59
hit
17:00
the
17:00
year
17:00
prior.
17:01
I
17:01
adore
17:01
that
17:02
movie.
17:02
Check
17:02
out
17:03
episode
17:03
253
17:04
on
17:04
the
17:04
Flintstones.
17:05
Levant
17:06
was
17:06
a
17:06
Flintstones
17:07
mega
17:07
fan,
17:07
but
17:08
he
17:08
was
17:08
also
17:08
a
17:08
mega
17:09
fan
17:09
of
17:09
toys
17:09
in
17:10
general.
17:10
So
17:11
much
17:11
so
17:11
that
17:11
he
17:11
wrote
17:12
a
17:12
book
17:12
in
17:12
2022
17:13
called
17:14
My
17:14
Life
17:14
and
17:14
Toys.
17:15
And
17:16
the
17:16
Flintstones
17:16
being
17:17
such
17:17
a
17:17
mega
17:17
hit
17:18
led
17:18
to
17:18
him
17:18
becoming
17:19
a
17:19
director
17:19
people
17:20
wanted
17:20
to
17:20
work
17:20
with.
17:21
But
17:21
he
17:22
wanted
17:22
to
17:22
choose
17:22
his
17:23
next
17:23
movie
17:23
carefully.
17:24
As
17:24
soon
17:25
as
17:25
he
17:25
was
17:25
sent
17:25
the
17:25
Jingle
17:26
all
17:26
the
17:26
way
17:26
script
17:27
in
17:27
February
17:27
1996,
17:29
with
17:29
the
17:29
idea
17:30
of
17:30
a
17:30
toy
17:30
at
17:30
the
17:30
center,
17:31
he
17:31
was
17:32
all
17:32
about
17:32
saying
17:33
yes,
17:33
Mostly
17:34
because
17:34
he
17:34
could
17:35
then
17:35
add
17:35
the
17:35
toy
17:36
to
17:36
his
17:36
own
17:36
personal
17:37
toy
17:37
collection,
17:38
which
17:38
is
17:38
huge,
17:39
by
17:39
the
17:39
way,
17:40
with
17:40
a
17:40
collection
17:41
of
17:41
Turboman
17:41
dolls
17:42
lining
17:42
a
17:42
shelf
17:43
in
17:43
his
17:43
office.
17:44
And
17:44
he
17:44
would
17:44
make
17:45
that
17:45
dream
17:45
a
17:45
reality.
17:46
Not
17:47
only
17:47
the
17:47
toy
17:47
shelf,
17:48
but
17:48
also
17:48
the
17:49
movie.
17:50
He
17:50
helped
17:51
design
17:51
Turboman
17:52
alongside
17:52
storyboard
17:53
artist
17:53
Darryl
17:54
Henley
17:54
and
17:55
concept
17:55
designer
17:55
Tim
17:56
Flattery.
17:57
But
17:57
the
17:57
issue
17:57
was
17:58
that
17:58
Marvel
17:58
and
17:58
DC
17:59
kind
17:59
of
18:00
had
18:00
superhero
18:01
designs
18:01
licked,
18:02
and
18:02
every
18:02
color
18:03
combination
18:03
and
18:04
style
18:04
had
18:05
already
18:05
been
18:05
used
18:05
for
18:06
someone
18:06
else.
18:07
They
18:07
knew
18:07
they
18:07
wanted
18:08
campy
18:08
and
18:08
tongue
18:09
in
18:09
cheek.
18:09
But
18:10
they
18:10
were
18:10
up
18:10
against
18:10
another
18:11
issue.
18:12
The
18:12
issue
18:12
the
18:12
movie
18:13
itself
18:13
would
18:13
also
18:14
battle
18:14
with.
18:15
And
18:15
that
18:15
was
18:15
time,
18:17
because
18:17
this
18:17
was
18:17
a
18:18
Christmas
18:18
movie.
18:18
And
18:19
so
18:19
it
18:19
had
18:19
to
18:19
be
18:19
ready
18:20
by
18:20
the
18:20
end
18:20
of
18:21
1996,
18:22
which
18:22
would
18:23
mean
18:23
everything
18:23
had
18:24
to
18:24
come
18:24
together,
18:25
pre
18:25
production,
18:26
production
18:26
and
18:27
post
18:27
production.
18:28
In
18:28
less
18:28
than
18:29
a
18:29
year.
18:29
In
18:30
nine
18:30
months,
18:30
actually.
18:31
Which
18:31
would
18:32
mean
18:32
not
18:32
very
18:32
much
18:32
time
18:33
to
18:33
design
18:33
Turboman
18:34
or
18:34
to
18:35
make
18:35
toys,
18:36
but
18:36
more
18:36
on
18:36
that
18:36
later.
18:37
The
18:38
fact
18:38
that
18:38
Turboman
18:39
still
18:39
looks
18:39
like
18:40
Iron
18:40
man
18:40
is
18:40
acknowledged
18:41
by
18:41
Brian
18:41
Levant.
18:42
And
18:42
it's
18:43
a
18:43
Marvel
18:43
Excuse
18:44
the
18:44
pun
18:44
that
18:45
Marvel
18:45
actually
18:45
never
18:46
sued.
18:46
But
18:47
at
18:47
the
18:47
time,
18:47
Iron
18:48
man
18:48
wasn't
18:48
really
18:48
the
18:49
top
18:49
tier
18:49
hero
18:50
that
18:50
he
18:50
is
18:50
nowadays.
18:52
Randy
18:53
Kornfield's
18:53
script
18:54
was
18:54
always
18:54
set
18:54
in
18:55
Minneapolis,
18:55
and
18:56
he
18:56
had
18:56
the
18:56
Mall
18:56
of
18:57
America
18:57
in
18:57
mind
18:58
as
18:58
the
18:58
setting.
18:59
He'd
18:59
never
19:00
been,
19:00
but
19:00
he'd
19:00
heard
19:01
all
19:01
about
19:01
the
19:01
largest
19:02
mall
19:02
in
19:02
the
19:02
US
19:03
and
19:03
in
19:03
the
19:04
Western
19:04
Hemisphere.
19:05
It's
19:05
only
19:05
the
19:06
12th
19:06
largest
19:06
in
19:07
the
19:07
world,
19:07
though
19:08
the
19:08
largest
19:08
in
19:09
Tehran
19:09
is
19:10
over
19:10
three
19:10
and
19:11
a
19:11
half
19:11
times
19:12
bigger.
19:13
Anyway,
19:13
the
19:13
production
19:14
wanted
19:14
a
19:14
typical
19:15
wintery
19:15
Midwestern
19:16
town.
19:17
And
19:17
despite
19:17
also
19:18
looking
19:18
at
19:18
Milwaukee
19:19
and
19:19
Chicago,
19:20
Schwarzenegger
19:21
pushed
19:21
for
19:21
filming
19:22
on
19:22
location
19:23
in
19:23
the
19:23
Twin
19:23
cities
19:24
of
19:24
Minneapolis
19:25
and
19:25
St.
19:25
Paul.
19:26
And
19:26
the
19:26
Minnesota
19:27
Film
19:27
and
19:27
TV
19:27
Board
19:28
went
19:28
above
19:29
and
19:29
beyond
19:29
to
19:29
accommodate
19:30
filming.
19:30
As
19:31
production
19:31
tax
19:32
incentives
19:32
didn't
19:33
exist
19:33
in
19:33
the
19:34
90s.
19:35
There
19:35
was
19:35
another
19:35
reason
19:36
to
19:36
shoot
19:36
in
19:36
Minnesota.
19:37
They
19:38
were
19:38
planning
19:38
to
19:38
film
19:39
in
19:39
May
19:39
of
19:39
1996,
19:41
which
19:41
is
19:41
technically
19:42
spring.
19:43
But
19:43
Minnesota
19:43
winters
19:44
tended
19:44
to
19:44
last
19:45
longer
19:45
than
19:45
any
19:45
other
19:46
state
19:46
and
19:47
they
19:47
wanted
19:47
a
19:47
Christmas
19:48
movie
19:48
to
19:48
look
19:49
Christmassy,
19:50
but
19:50
they
19:50
still
19:50
had
19:51
to
19:51
fake
19:51
the
19:51
snow.
19:52
The
19:52
movie
19:53
filmed
19:53
on
19:53
location
19:54
in
19:54
the
19:54
Twin
19:54
Cities,
19:55
including
19:55
shops
19:56
at
19:56
Linden
19:56
Hills
19:57
Homes
19:57
in
19:58
Adena,
19:59
the
19:59
famous
19:59
Mickey's
20:00
Diner
20:00
in
20:00
St.
20:00
Paul's,
20:01
Nicollet
20:02
island,
20:02
and
20:02
the
20:02
Mall
20:03
of
20:03
America.
20:03
Over
20:04
five
20:04
weeks
20:05
decking
20:05
out
20:05
empty
20:06
stores
20:06
with
20:07
Christmas
20:07
decorations,
20:08
filming
20:09
locations
20:09
received
20:10
lucrative
20:11
per
20:11
day
20:11
payments
20:11
from
20:12
the
20:12
studio,
20:13
allowing
20:13
a
20:13
school
20:14
in
20:14
Falcon
20:14

20:15
to
20:15
purchase
20:15
brand
20:16
new
20:16
computer
20:16
equipment.
20:18
They
20:18
shot
20:18
the
20:18
house
20:19
scenes
20:19
on
20:19
Bruce
20:20
place
20:20
in
20:20
Adena,
20:21
Minnesota,
20:22
in
20:22
a
20:22
home
20:22
owned
20:23
by
20:23
the
20:23
McCary
20:24
family.
20:24
Both
20:25
interiors
20:25
and
20:26
exteriors
20:26
were
20:27
shot
20:27
at
20:27
the
20:27
house,
20:28
which
20:28
they
20:28
used
20:28
from
20:29
5.30am
20:30
to
20:30
7pm
20:31
Diane
20:32
McCary
20:32
refused
20:33
to
20:33
allow
20:33
Arnold
20:34
Schwarzenegger
20:35
to
20:35
smoke
20:35
cigars
20:36
in
20:36
the
20:36
house.
20:38
Just
20:38
imagine
20:38
that
20:38
story
20:39
at
20:39
parties.
20:39
Yes,
20:40
I
20:40
said
20:40
no
20:40
to
20:40
Arnold
20:41
Schwarzenegger.
20:42
There
20:43
was
20:43
of
20:43
course
20:43
a
20:43
real
20:44
reindeer
20:44
on
20:45
set,
20:45
but
20:45
there
20:45
was
20:45
also
20:45
an
20:46
incredibly
20:46
convincing
20:47
animatronic
20:48
made
20:48
by
20:48
animated
20:49
engineering,
20:50
which
20:50
was
20:50
head,
20:51
neck
20:51
and
20:51
shoulders
20:52
only
20:52
and
20:53
puppeteered
20:53
by
20:53
Mecki
20:54
Hewson
20:54
and
20:55
Dave

20:56
Filming
20:57
at
20:57
the
20:57
Mall
20:57
of
20:57
America
20:58
was
20:58
hectic.
20:59
Crowds
20:59
of
20:59
people
21:00
turned
21:00
up
21:00
knowing
21:01
Arnold
21:01
Schwarzenegger
21:02
was
21:02
filming,
21:03
and
21:03
his
21:03
stunt
21:03
double,
21:04
Peter
21:04
Kent,
21:04
who
21:05
also
21:05
doubled
21:05
for
21:06
him
21:06
for
21:06
most
21:06
of
21:06
his
21:07
movies,
21:07
including
21:07
Terminator
21:08
2,
21:09
would
21:09
be
21:09
the
21:09
one
21:09
jumping
21:10
into
21:10
ball
21:10
pits
21:10
and
21:11
running
21:11
up
21:11
and
21:11
down
21:11
escalators.
21:13
There
21:13
was
21:13
no
21:13
time
21:14
to
21:14
rehearse
21:14
the
21:15
Santa
21:15
fight
21:15
and
21:16
Schwarzenegger
21:16
did
21:17
his
21:17
own
21:17
stunts
21:17
on
21:18
that
21:18
with
21:18
a
21:18
fight
21:19
scene
21:19
put
21:19
together
21:19
on
21:20
the
21:20
day
21:20
by
21:20
stunt
21:21
coordinator
21:21
Joel
21:22
Kramer.
21:23
The
21:23
city's
21:24
Holly
21:24
Dazzle
21:25
Parade,
21:25
which
21:25
are
21:25
daily
21:26
parades
21:26
that
21:26
take
21:27
place
21:27
in
21:27
the
21:27
evenings
21:28
from
21:28
the
21:28
day
21:28
after
21:29
Thanksgiving
21:29
until
21:30
a
21:30
couple
21:30
of
21:30
days
21:30
before
21:31
Christmas,
21:32
couldn't
21:32
be
21:32
used,
21:33
mostly
21:33
because
21:33
they
21:34
didn't
21:34
take
21:34
place
21:35
in
21:35
May.
21:36
The
21:36
event
21:36
was
21:36
renamed
21:37
the
21:37
Wintertainment
21:38
Parade
21:38
for
21:38
the
21:38
movie.
21:39
And
21:39
for
21:39
practical
21:40
reasons,
21:40
they
21:40
couldn't
21:41
film
21:41
it
21:41
on
21:42
location
21:42
on
21:42
Second
21:43
Avenue.
21:43
Nor
21:44
could
21:44
they
21:44
film
21:44
it
21:45
in
21:45
the
21:45
evening.
21:46
The
21:46
parade
21:47
was
21:47
filmed
21:47
at
21:47
the
21:47
Universal
21:48
Studios
21:49
backlot
21:49
in
21:49
California
21:50
on
21:50
the
21:51
New
21:51
York
21:51
street
21:51
set
21:52
designed
21:53
to
21:53
resemble
21:53
Second
21:54
Avenue.
21:54
In
21:55
July
21:55
1996,
21:57
it
21:57
took
21:57
three
21:57
weeks
21:58
to
21:58
film
21:58
with
21:59
1500
21:59
extras.
22:00
And
22:00
in
22:01
a
22:01
stark
22:01
contrast
22:01
to
22:02
the
22:02
Minnesota
22:02
weather,
22:03
it
22:03
was
22:03
100
22:04
degrees
22:04
Fahrenheit.
22:05
In
22:05
California,
22:06
that's
22:06
43
22:07
degrees
22:07
Celsius.
22:09
People
22:09
in
22:09
winter
22:10
coats
22:10
and
22:10
costumes
22:11
were
22:11
passing
22:12
out.
22:12
And
22:12
even
22:13
Schwarzenegger,
22:14
who
22:14
had
22:14
a
22:14
cooling
22:14
system
22:14
in
22:15
the
22:15
Turboman
22:15
outfit
22:16
sort
22:16
of
22:17
similar
22:17
to
22:17
the
22:17
one
22:17
he'd
22:18
have
22:18
for
22:18
Mr.
22:18
Freeze
22:19
just
22:19
after
22:19
this,
22:19
was
22:20
still
22:20
struggling
22:21
with
22:21
the
22:21
extreme
22:21
heat.
22:22
I
22:23
just
22:23
feel
22:23
sorry
22:23
for
22:23
the
22:24
guy
22:24
in
22:24
the
22:24
booster
22:25
costume.
22:25
No
22:26
one
22:26
liked
22:26
Booster.
22:27
The
22:27
parade
22:28
itself,
22:28
despite
22:29
being
22:29
filmed
22:29
in
22:29
the
22:30
middle
22:30
of
22:30
summer
22:30
with
22:31
blazing
22:31
sunshine,
22:32
had
22:32
custom
22:33
floats,
22:33
including
22:34
the
22:34
one
22:34
for
22:34
Turboman
22:35
himself,
22:36
which
22:36
was
22:36
46ft
22:37
long.
22:38
10,000
22:38
pounds
22:39
of
22:39
red
22:39
and
22:40
gold
22:40
confetti
22:40
was
22:41
shot
22:41
over
22:41
the
22:41
streets,
22:42
and
22:42
some
22:42
extras
22:43
were
22:43
costumed
22:44
as
22:44
the
22:44
local
22:44
news
22:44
team.
22:45
And
22:45
the
22:45
Pasadena
22:46
City
22:46
College
22:46
marching
22:47
band
22:47
performed
22:48
as
22:48
the
22:48
Turboman
22:49
Band.
22:50
The
22:50
All
22:50
Santa
22:51
marching
22:51
Band
22:51
consisted
22:52
of
22:52
members
22:52
of
22:52
the
22:53
UCLA
22:53
marching
22:54
Band.
22:55
A
22:55
news
22:55
helicopter
22:56
was
22:56
dispatched
22:56
to
22:57
cover
22:57
the
22:57
event
22:58
for
22:58
the
22:58
evening
22:59
news.
23:00
And
23:00
as
23:00
Howard
23:01
takes
23:01
to
23:01
the
23:01

23:02

Turboman,
23:03
those
23:03
flying
23:04
scenes
23:04
were
23:04
coordinated
23:05
by
23:05
John
23:06
G.
23:06
Bellew,
23:06
who
23:07
previously
23:07
worked
23:07
on
23:08
the
23:08
Rocketeer,
23:09
which
23:09
is
23:09
an
23:09
incredible
23:10
movie,
23:10
by
23:10
the
23:10
way,
23:10
if
23:10
you've
23:11
not
23:11
seen
23:11
it.
23:11
And
23:12
also
23:12
Bob
23:12
Harmon,
23:13
who
23:13
worked
23:13
on
23:13
the
23:14
flying
23:14
scenes
23:14
for
23:14
Superman.
23:15
So
23:16
although
23:16
this
23:16
movie
23:16
gets
23:17
a
23:17
lot
23:17
of
23:17
flack
23:17
for
23:18
not
23:18
having
23:18
great
23:19
visual
23:19
effects,
23:20
there
23:20
were
23:20
some
23:20
really
23:21
talented
23:21
people
23:22
who
23:22
were
23:22
working
23:22
behind
23:23
the
23:23
scenes.
23:24
And
23:25
speaking
23:25
of
23:25
a
23:25
Superman,
23:26
it's
23:27
time
23:27
to
23:27
segue
23:27
into
23:28
the
23:28
obligatory
23:28
Keanu
23:29
reference
23:29
of
23:29
this
23:30
episode.
23:30
And
23:31
if
23:31
you
23:31
don't
23:31
know
23:31
what
23:31
that
23:32
is,
23:32
if
23:32
you
23:32
are
23:32
new
23:32
here,
23:33
this
23:33
is
23:33
where
23:33
I
23:34
try
23:34
and
23:34
link
23:34
every
23:34
movie
23:35
that
23:35
I
23:35
feature
23:35
with
23:36
Keanu
23:36
Reeves
23:37
for
23:37
no
23:37
reason
23:37
other
23:38
than
23:38
he
23:38
is
23:38
the
23:39
best
23:39
of
23:39
men
23:39
and
23:40
he
23:40
would
23:40
never
23:40
forget
23:40
to
23:41
buy
23:41
his
23:41
son
23:41
a
23:41
Turboman
23:42
doll.
23:43
And
23:43
this
23:43
is
23:43
a
23:44
really
23:44
interesting
23:44
connection,
23:45
actually.
23:45
And
23:46
it
23:46
comes
23:46
via
23:47
Norm
23:47
Coleman,
23:48
who
23:48
was
23:48
the
23:48
mayor
23:49
of
23:49
St.
23:49
Paul
23:49
in
23:50
1996.
23:51
And
23:51
he
23:52
actually
23:52
commented
23:53
on
23:53
the
23:53
production
23:54
filming
23:54
in
23:55
St.
23:55
Paul.
23:56
Quote,
23:56
When
23:57
Keanu
23:57
Reeves
23:57
was
23:58
here,
23:58
a
23:58
bus
23:59
came
23:59
in
23:59
from
23:59
Wisconsin,
24:00
and
24:00
Arnold
24:01
is
24:01
bigger
24:01
than
24:01
Keanu
24:03
now.
24:03
I
24:03
don't
24:03
have
24:03
any
24:04
context
24:04
to
24:04
what
24:04
the
24:05
quote
24:05
actually
24:05
means
24:06
or
24:06
what
24:06
he
24:06
was
24:06
talking
24:07
about.
24:07
But
24:08
that
24:08
would
24:09
be
24:09
for
24:09
when
24:09
Keanu
24:10
Reeves
24:10
was
24:10
filming
24:11
for
24:11
his
24:11
movie
24:12
Feeling
24:12
Minnesota
24:13
the
24:14
previous
24:14
year
24:15
in
24:15
the
24:15
spring
24:15
of
24:15
1995.
24:17
And
24:17
I
24:17
guess
24:18
when
24:18
you
24:18
live
24:18
in
24:18
Minneapolis
24:19
or
24:19
St.
24:19
Paul,
24:20
you
24:20
just
24:20
get
24:21
used
24:21
to
24:21
celebrities
24:22
just
24:22
coming
24:23
by
24:23
and
24:23
filming
24:23
movies
24:24
in
24:24
your
24:24
area.
24:25
And
24:25
as
24:26
I
24:26
mentioned,
24:26
this
24:27
was
24:27
a
24:27
quick
24:28
production,
24:28
with
24:29
Schwarzenegger
24:29
signing
24:30
on
24:30
in
24:30
February
24:31
1996
24:32
and
24:32
the
24:32
movie
24:33
needed
24:33
to
24:33
be
24:33
ready
24:34
and
24:34
released
24:35
in
24:35
November
24:36
1996.
24:37
There
24:37
was
24:37
only
24:38
six
24:38
months
24:38
to
24:39
sort
24:39
out
24:39
any
24:40
merchandise,
24:40
and
24:41
anyone
24:41
who
24:41
knows
24:42
anything
24:42
about
24:42
the
24:42
toy
24:43
industry
24:44
knows
24:44
that's
24:45
not
24:45
enough
24:45
time.
24:46
Only
24:46
200,000
24:48
official
24:48
turboman
24:49
dolls
24:49
were
24:50
made
24:50
for
24:50
the
24:50
movie's
24:51
release.
24:51
A
24:52
13.5-inch
24:53
replica
24:54
talking
24:54
turboman
24:55
and
24:55
a
24:55
Turboman
24:56
Time
24:56
Racer
24:57
car.
24:58
But
24:58
while
24:58
the
24:58
toys
24:59
were
24:59
released
25:00
in
25:00
time
25:00
for
25:00
Christmas
25:01
1996,
25:02
it
25:02
was
25:03
far
25:03
from
25:03
the
25:03
toy
25:04
on
25:04
everyone's
25:05
lips
25:05
that
25:05
year.
25:06
In
25:06
a
25:06
bizarre
25:07
twist
25:07
of
25:07
fate,
25:08
Christmas
25:09
1996's
25:10
most
25:10
popular
25:10
toy
25:11
was
25:11
wasn't
25:11
Turboman.
25:12
But
25:13
the
25:13
exact
25:13
scenes
25:14
in
25:14
the
25:14
movie
25:14
were
25:15
again
25:15
replicated
25:16
in
25:16
real
25:16
life.
25:18
At
25:18
the
25:18
time,
25:18
this
25:19
movie
25:19
was
25:19
out
25:19
in
25:19
cinemas
25:20
for
25:20
Tickle
25:21
Me
25:21
Elmo.
25:22
So
25:23
Tickle
25:23
Me
25:23
Elmo
25:24
came
25:24
out
25:24
in
25:24
July
25:25
1996
25:26
and
25:26
sold
25:27
steadily,
25:27
but
25:27
not
25:28
crazily.
25:29
400000
25:30
units
25:30
were
25:30
ordered
25:31
and
25:31
Elmo
25:32
was
25:32
reduced
25:33
for
25:33
Black
25:33
Friday.
25:34
And
25:34
by
25:34
Thanksgiving
25:35
1996,
25:36
tickle
25:37
me
25:37
Elmo
25:37
had
25:38
sold
25:38
out
25:38
due
25:38
to
25:38
the
25:39
discounts.
25:40
Manufacturer
25:41
tyco
25:41
quickly
25:42
ordered
25:42
600,000
25:43
more
25:44
for
25:44
the
25:44
Christmas
25:45
season.
25:45
But
25:46
they
25:46
vastly
25:46
under
25:47
predicted
25:47
what
25:48
would
25:48
happen
25:48
when
25:49
Rosie
25:49
o'
25:50
Donnell
25:50
featured
25:50
the
25:50
toy
25:51
on
25:51
her
25:51
chat
25:51
show,
25:52
a
25:53
show
25:53
aimed
25:54
at
25:54
stay
25:54
at
25:54
home
25:55
mothers
25:55
with
25:55
preschool
25:56
children
25:57
who
25:57
loved
25:58
Elmo.
25:59
So
25:59
when
25:59
you
26:00
couldn't
26:00
get
26:00
Tickle
26:01
Me
26:01
Elmo,
26:02
the
26:02
scarcity
26:03
caused
26:03
a
26:03
frenzy,
26:04
with
26:04
people
26:04
arrested
26:05
for
26:05
fighting
26:06
over
26:06
the
26:07
few
26:07
remaining
26:07
dolls,
26:08
black
26:08
market
26:09
sales
26:09
and
26:10
parents
26:10
running
26:11
after
26:11
delivery
26:11
trucks.
26:12
A
26:13
clerk
26:13
at
26:13
Walmart
26:14
in
26:14
Canada
26:14
was
26:14
trampled
26:15
by
26:15
shoppers
26:16
desperate
26:16
to
26:16
get
26:17
one
26:17
of
26:17
the
26:17
300
26:18
Tickle
26:18
Me
26:19
Elmos
26:19
he
26:20
was
26:20
unboxing
26:20
to
26:20
stock
26:21
on
26:21
store
26:21
shelves.
26:22
He
26:22
suffered
26:23
a
26:23
concussion,
26:23
a
26:24
broken
26:24
rib
26:24
and
26:25
injuries
26:25
to
26:25
his
26:26
back,
26:26
jaw
26:26
and
26:26
knee.
26:27
Now
26:28
of
26:28
course,
26:28
ebay
26:28
was
26:28
founded
26:29
the
26:29
year
26:29
prior,
26:29
but
26:30
at
26:30
the
26:30
time
26:31
Internet
26:31
connections
26:32
were
26:32
still
26:32
dial
26:32
up.
26:33
I
26:33
remember
26:33
that
26:34
noise.
26:34
I'm
26:35
sure
26:35
many
26:35
people
26:36
listening
26:36
remember
26:36
that
26:37
noise
26:37
too.
26:38
So
26:38
instead,
26:39
newspaper
26:39
ads
26:40
were
26:40
listed
26:41
selling
26:41
$30
26:42
Elmo
26:43
dolls
26:43
for
26:44
$1,000
26:45
or
26:45
best
26:45
offer.
26:46
A
26:47
charity
26:47
auction
26:48
with
26:48
Tickle
26:48
Me
26:48
Elmo
26:48
as
26:49
the
26:49
main
26:49
prize
26:50
raised
26:50
$18,500
26:52
with
26:53
the
26:53
winner
26:53
getting
26:54
one
26:54
of
26:54
the
26:54
prize
26:55
dolls.
26:56
But
26:56
despite
26:56
Turboman
26:57
not
26:58
getting
26:58
his
26:58
day
26:58
in
26:59
1996.
27:00
His
27:01
merchandise
27:02
would
27:02
get
27:02
its
27:02
day
27:03
though,
27:03
with
27:04
Funko
27:04
releasing
27:05
a
27:05
reproduction
27:06
of
27:06
the
27:06
1996
27:07
Turboman
27:08
action
27:08
figure
27:09
in
27:09
2021.
27:10
A
27:11
fully
27:11
posable
27:12
13.5
27:13
inch
27:13
talking
27:14
Turboman
27:15
featuring
27:16
electronic
27:16
lights
27:17
and
27:17
sounds
27:17
and
27:17
three
27:18
action
27:18
accessories.
27:19
Batteries
27:20
not
27:20
included.
27:21
And
27:21
just
27:21
like
27:22
Howard
27:22
and
27:22
Myron
27:23
discovered
27:23
in
27:23
the
27:23
film.
27:24
Getting
27:24
your
27:24
hands
27:25
on
27:25
Turboman
27:26
in
27:26
real
27:26
life
27:27
also
27:27
proved
27:28
difficult,
27:28
with
27:29
low
27:29
stock
27:29
and
27:30
action
27:30
figures
27:30
appearing
27:31
on
27:31
ebay
27:32
for
27:32
hundreds
27:32
of
27:32
dollars.
27:33
Even
27:34
now,
27:35
as
27:35
I'm
27:35
recording
27:36
this
27:36
episode,
27:37
Turboman
27:38
is
27:38
out
27:38
of
27:38
stock
27:39
at
27:39
Walmart
27:39
Online.
27:40
However,
27:41
I
27:41
suspect
27:42
that
27:42
has
27:42
something
27:42
to
27:42
do
27:43
with
27:43
me
27:43
prepping
27:43
this
27:44
episode
27:44
in
27:45
and
27:45
around
27:45
Black
27:45
Friday,
27:46
but
27:47
the
27:47
fact
27:47
Turboman
27:48
is
27:48
still
27:48
selling
27:49
out
27:49
surely
27:50
is
27:50
testament
27:50
to
27:50
the
27:51
ongoing
27:51
audience
27:52
love
27:52
for
27:53
for
27:53
this
27:53
movie
27:54
Jingle
27:55
all
27:55
the
27:55
Way
27:55
had
27:56
its
27:56
premiere
27:56
at
27:57
where
27:57
else
27:57
but
27:58
the
27:58
Mall
27:58
of
27:58
America,
27:59
with
27:59
20,000
28:00
local
28:00
people
28:00
in
28:01
attendance
28:02
and
28:02
appearances
28:02
from
28:03
Arnold
28:03
Schwarzenegger,
28:04
who
28:04
pushed
28:04
for
28:05
the
28:05
premiere
28:05
in
28:05
the
28:05
mall.
28:06
He
28:06
even
28:07
said
28:07
I'll
28:08
be
28:08
back
28:08
on
28:08
his
28:09
last
28:09
day
28:09
filming
28:10
in
28:10
Minneapolis,
28:11
and
28:11
that
28:11
was
28:11
him
28:12
keeping
28:12
his
28:12
promise.
28:13
The
28:14
movie
28:14
was
28:14
released
28:14
wide
28:15
on
28:15
22
28:16
November
28:17
1996,
28:18
opening
28:18
alongside
28:19
Star
28:19
Trek,
28:20
First
28:20
Contact
28:21
and
28:21
101
28:21
Dalmatians.
28:23
It
28:23
would
28:23
open
28:23
at
28:23
fourth
28:24
behind
28:25
Star
28:25
Trek,
28:25
First
28:25
Contact,
28:26
Space
28:27
Jam
28:27
and
28:27
Ransom.
28:28
It
28:28
would
28:28
drop
28:29
to
28:29
fifth
28:29
in
28:29
its
28:29
second
28:30
week
28:30
and
28:30
would
28:31
stay
28:31
in
28:31
the
28:31
top
28:32
10
28:32
for
28:32
five
28:33
weeks
28:34
on
28:34
its
28:34
$60
28:35
million
28:36
budget,
28:36
20
28:37
million
28:37
of
28:37
which
28:38
was
28:38
Arnie's
28:39
salary.
28:39
Jingle
28:40
all
28:40
the
28:40
way
28:40
would
28:41
gross
28:41
$60.6
28:42
million
28:43
domestically
28:44
and
28:44
$69.2
28:45
million
28:46
internationally,
28:47
for
28:47
a
28:48
total
28:48
worldwide
28:48
gross
28:49
of
28:49
$129.9
28:50
million.
28:52
So
28:52
it
28:52
made
28:53
the
28:53
studio
28:53
money.
28:54
Just
28:56
but
28:56
not
28:56
quite
28:56
the
28:57
money
28:57
expected
28:57
from
28:58
a
28:58
mid-90s
28:59
Arnie
29:00
Christmas
29:00
comedy.
29:01
It
29:01
currently
29:02
has
29:02
a
29:02
20%
29:03
of
29:03
Rotten
29:03
Tomatoes,
29:04
where
29:04
the
29:05
consensus
29:05
of
29:06
Arnold
29:06
Schwarzenegger
29:07
tries
29:07
his
29:08
best.
29:08
But
29:08
Jingle
29:09
all
29:09
the
29:09
Way
29:09
suffers
29:10
from
29:10
an
29:10
uneven
29:11
tone
29:11
shifting
29:12
wildly
29:12
from
29:12
would
29:13
be
29:13
satire
29:13
on
29:14
materialism
29:14
to
29:15
to
29:15
an
29:15
antique
29:15
slapstick
29:16
yuckfest.
29:17
It
29:18
was
29:18
given
29:18
a
29:18
glowing
29:18
review
29:19
by
29:19
Jeff
29:19
Strickler
29:20
from
29:20
the
29:20
Minneapolis
29:21
Star
29:21

29:22
a
29:22
panning
29:23
review
29:23
by
29:23
Emmanuel
29:24
Levy
29:24
in
29:24
Variety,
29:25
and
29:25
a
29:26
middling
29:26
review
29:26
by
29:27
Roger
29:27
Ebert.
29:28
But
29:28
mostly
29:28
it
29:29
was
29:29
critically
29:29
panned
29:29
for
29:30
being
29:30
highly
29:30
formulaic,
29:31
lacking
29:32
in
29:32
plot
29:32
and
29:33
the
29:33
slapstick
29:33
tone,
29:35
and
29:35
standalone
29:36
direct
29:36
to
29:36
DVD
29:37
sequel.

Jingle

all
29:38
the

29:38
2
29:38
was
29:39
released
29:39
in
29:39
December
29:40
2014.
29:41
Directed
29:42
by
29:42
Alex
29:42
Sam,
29:43
the
29:43
film
29:43
has
29:44
a
29:44
similar
29:44
plot
29:44
to
29:45
the
29:45
original,
29:45
but
29:46
otherwise
29:46
is
29:46
not
29:47
connected
29:47
and
29:47
has
29:48
none
29:48
of
29:48
the
29:48
original
29:48
cast
29:49
or
29:49
characters.
29:50
The
29:50
lead
29:50
role
29:51
in
29:51
the
29:51
movie
29:51
would
29:51
instead
29:52
be
29:52
played
29:52
by
29:53
Larry
29:53
the

29:55
In
29:55
March
29:55
2001,
29:56
Detroit
29:57
publishing
29:57
firm
29:57
Murray
29:58

and
30:00
won
30:00
a
30:00
$19
30:01
million
30:01
lawsuit
30:02
against
30:03
20th
30:03
Century
30:04
Fox
30:04
after
30:04
a
30:05
jury
30:05
in
30:05
Michigan
30:06
agreed
30:06
that
30:06
the
30:07
movie
30:07
studio
30:08
had
30:08
stolen
30:08
the

script
30:09
for
30:09
Jingle
30:09
all
30:09
the

30:10
and
30:10
that
30:10
it
30:11
bore
30:11
a
30:11
striking
30:12
resemblance
30:12
to
30:13
could
30:13
this
30:13
Be
30:14
Christmas?
30:14
Written
30:15
by
30:15
high
30:15
school
30:16
teacher
30:16
Brian
30:17
Webster,
30:17
who
30:18
had
30:18
sold
30:18
the
30:18
script
30:19
to
30:19
Murray
30:19
Hill.
30:20
Webster's
30:21
screenplay
30:21
was
30:21
pitched
30:22
to
30:23
several
30:23
movie
30:23
studios,
30:24
including
30:25
20th
30:25
Century
30:26
Fox,
30:26
in
30:26
1993
30:27
without
30:28
finding
30:28
any
30:29
interest.
30:30
Soon
30:30
after,
30:31
20th
30:31
Century
30:32
Fox
30:32
purchased
30:32
the
30:33
rights
30:33
to
30:33
Jingle
30:34
all
30:34
the
30:34
Way
30:35
soon
30:35
after
30:35
awarding
30:36
$19
30:37
million,
30:37
though
30:37
the
30:38
judge
30:38
later
30:38
reduced
30:39
the
30:39
amount
30:39
to
30:40
$1.5
30:41
million.
30:42
In
30:42
March
30:43
2004,
30:43
the
30:44
Court
30:44
of
30:44
Appeal
30:44
overturned
30:45
the
30:45
verdict,
30:46
deciding
30:47
instead
30:47
that
30:47
Randy
30:48
Kornfield's
30:49
Jingle
30:49
all
30:49
the
30:49
Way
30:50
script
30:50
was
30:50
an
30:51
original
30:51
work
30:51
and
30:52
not
30:52
based
30:52
on
30:53
could
30:53
this
30:53
Be
30:53
Christmas?
30:54
The
30:55
court
30:55
determined
30:55
that
30:56
Jingle
30:56
all
30:56
the
30:56
Way
30:56
was
30:57
based
30:57
on
30:57
a
30:57
treatment
30:58
that
30:58
was
30:58
completed
30:59
long
30:59
before
31:00
anyone
31:00
at
31:00
Fox
31:01
had
31:01
access
31:01
to
31:02
the
31:02
script
31:02
for
31:02
could
31:03
this
31:03
Be
31:03
Christmas?
31:04
And
31:04
the
31:04
original
31:05
trial
31:05
judge
31:05
had
31:06
not
31:06
informed
31:06
the
31:06
jury
31:07
that
31:07
that
31:07
neither
31:08
the
31:08
writer
31:08
of
31:08
Jingle
31:09
all
31:09
the
31:09
Way
31:10
nor
31:10
anyone
31:10
else
31:10
at
31:11
Fox
31:11
could
31:12
have
31:12
seen
31:12
the
31:12
plaintiff's
31:13
script
31:13
before
31:13
the
31:14
treatment
31:14
for
31:14
Jingle
31:15
all
31:15
the
31:15
Way
31:15
was
31:15
completed.
31:16
I
31:17
don't
31:17
want
31:17
to
31:17
be
31:17
the
31:17
person
31:18
that
31:18
has
31:18
to
31:18
return
31:18
$1.5
31:19
million,
31:20
but
31:21
there
31:21
you
31:21
go.
31:22
Jingle
31:23
all
31:23
the
31:23
Way
31:23
may
31:23
not
31:24
be
31:24
the
31:24
number
31:24
one
31:25
greatest
31:25
Christmas
31:25
movie
31:26
in
31:26
the
31:26
world,
31:26
because
31:27
that's
31:27
the
31:27
Muppet
31:28
Christmas
31:28
Carol,
31:29
but
31:29
what
31:29
it
31:29
is
31:29
is
31:30
a
31:30
stark
31:30
takedown
31:31
of
31:31
the
31:31
capitalist
31:32
machine
31:32
that
31:32
is
31:32
Christmas,
31:33
wrapped
31:34
in
31:34
a
31:34
neat,
31:35
sleek
31:35
Austrian
31:36
action
31:36
hero
31:37
that
31:37
we
31:37
all
31:37
know
31:38
and
31:38
love,
31:38
with
31:38
a
31:39
who's
31:39
who
31:39
of
31:39
supported
31:40
cast,
31:41
all
31:41
about
31:41
how
31:41
society
31:42
is
31:42
only
31:43
ever
31:43
fulfilled
31:43
by
31:44
consumerism.
31:45
And
31:45
every
31:45
year
31:46
the
31:46
cycle
31:46
continues
31:47
again
31:48
in
31:48
its
31:48
rawest
31:49
form.
31:49
It's
31:50
a
31:50
satire
31:50
of
31:50
the
31:51
darkness
31:51
of
31:51
Christmas.
31:52
And
31:52
this
31:52
was
31:53
Randy
31:53
Cornfield's
31:54
original
31:54
idea.
31:55
Not
31:55
Sinbad
31:56
pretending
31:56
he
31:56
had
31:56
a
31:57
bomb
31:57
wrapped
31:57
in
31:57
Christmas
31:58
paper
31:58
that
31:58
blows
31:58
up
31:58
in
31:59
one
31:59
police
31:59
officer's
32:00
face.
32:00
The
32:01
idea
32:01
that
32:01
a
32:01
father
32:02
has
32:02
to
32:02
buy
32:02
his
32:03
son's
32:03
love
32:03
at
32:03
Christmas
32:04
presents
32:05
over
32:05
presents,
32:06
as
32:06
in
32:07
gifts
32:07
over
32:07
being
32:08
there
32:08
in
32:08
person,
32:09
as
32:09
if
32:09
that
32:09
somehow
32:10
young
32:10
Jake
32:10
Lloyd
32:11
isn't
32:11
going
32:11
to
32:12
need
32:12
years
32:12
of
32:12
therapy
32:13
as
32:13
a
32:13
grown
32:14
man,
32:14
which
32:15
he
32:15
probably
32:15
did
32:16
anyway,
32:16
thanks
32:17
to
32:17
Star
32:17
Wars
32:17
Episode
32:18
1
32:18
the
32:18
Phantom
32:18
Menace.
32:19
Because
32:19
if
32:19
you're
32:20
wondering,
32:20
yes,
32:20
that
32:20
is
32:21
Anakin
32:21
Skywalker,
32:22
except
32:22
much
32:23
younger.
32:24
It's
32:25
likely
32:25
that
32:25
the
32:25
Chris
32:25
Columbus
32:26
rewrite
32:26
of
32:27
the
32:27
script
32:27
added
32:28
those
32:28
wacky
32:29
Home
32:29
Alone
32:29
esque
32:30
elements,
32:30
such
32:30
as
32:31
Arnie
32:31
breaking
32:31
into
32:31
his
32:32
neighbor's
32:32
house
32:32
to
32:33
steal
32:33
the
32:33
toy
32:33
from
32:34
under
32:34
the
32:34
tree,
32:34
and
32:34
hijinks
32:35
ensues.
32:36
It
32:36
feels
32:37
very
32:37
Chris
32:37
Columbus.
32:38
But
32:38
despite
32:39
the
32:39
darkness
32:39
that's
32:40
always
32:40
lurking.
32:41
This
32:41
movie
32:41
is
32:42
more
32:42
prescient
32:42
than
32:42
anyone
32:43
really
32:43
gives
32:43
it
32:44
credit
32:44
for.
32:45
It
32:45
may
32:45
not
32:46
have
32:46
predicted
32:46
the
32:46
melees
32:47
at
32:47
toy
32:47
stores
32:48
across
32:48
the
32:48
world
32:48
at
32:48
the
32:48
festive
32:49
period,
32:50
although
32:50
I'm
32:51
certain
32:51
this
32:51
is
32:51
more
32:51
of
32:52
an
32:52
American
32:52
thing
32:52
because
32:53
I've
32:53
never
32:53
seen
32:53
parents
32:54
fighting
32:54
in
32:54
an
32:54
Argos.
32:56
That
32:56
is
32:56
a
32:56
very
32:56
British
32:56
reference,
32:57
but
32:57
it
32:58
certainly
32:58
shines
32:58
a
32:59
light
32:59
on
33:00
modern
33:00
entitlement
33:01
for
33:01
the
33:01
biggest
33:01
and
33:01
most
33:02
expensive
33:02
gifts,
33:03
as
33:03
well
33:03
as
33:04
the
33:04
merchandising
33:04
of
33:05
everything
33:05
surrounding
33:06
a
33:06
big
33:06
movie
33:07
or
33:07
TV
33:07
show.
33:08
Again,
33:08
this
33:09
isn't
33:09
new.
33:09
I
33:10
remember
33:10
breakfast
33:10
cereals
33:11
in
33:11
the
33:11
90s
33:11
advertising
33:12
things
33:12
like
33:13
Teenage
33:13
Mutant
33:13
Hero
33:14
Turtles
33:14
or
33:14
Power
33:14
Rangers,
33:15
but
33:15
the
33:16
idea
33:16
that
33:16
kids
33:16
can't
33:17
escape
33:17
this
33:17
messaging.
33:19
So
33:19
much
33:19
so
33:19
I
33:20
know
33:20
here
33:20
in
33:20
the
33:20
UK
33:21
it's
33:21
against
33:22
the
33:22
law
33:22
for
33:22
ads
33:23
promoting
33:23
unhealthy
33:24
food
33:24
for
33:24
children
33:25
to
33:25
be
33:25
shown
33:26
during
33:26
the
33:26
day,
33:27
but
33:27
time
33:28
strapped
33:28
parents,
33:29
often
33:29
working
33:29
multiple
33:30
jobs,
33:31
will
33:31
do
33:31
anything
33:32
to
33:32
keep
33:32
their
33:32
children
33:33
happy.
33:33
I
33:34
get
33:34
it.
33:34
At
33:34
Christmas
33:35
I'll
33:35
buy
33:35
my
33:36
nieces
33:36
and
33:36
nephews
33:37
whatever
33:37
they
33:37
want.
33:38
You
33:38
never
33:39
want
33:39
a
33:39
child
33:39
to
33:39
go
33:40
without,
33:40
but
33:41
the
33:41
sheer
33:41
entitlement
33:42
of
33:42
shoppers
33:43
who
33:43
will
33:43
literally
33:44
beat
33:44
up
33:44
other
33:44
people
33:45
to
33:45
get
33:45
at
33:45
something
33:46
just
33:46
speaks
33:47
to
33:47
the
33:47
pressures
33:47
of
33:48
of
33:48
raising
33:48
children.
33:49
Pressures
33:50
that
33:50
only
33:50
ever
33:50
get
33:50
worse
33:51
year
33:51
after
33:52
year.
33:52
And
33:52
Keeping
33:53
up
33:53
with
33:53
the
33:53
Joneses.
33:54
It's
33:54
an
33:55
effective
33:55
satire
33:56
about
33:56
how
33:56
commercial
33:57
Christmas
33:58
has
33:58
become.
34:00
Howard
34:00
Langston
34:01
is
34:01
a
34:01
privileged
34:01
man
34:02
working
34:02
a
34:02
good
34:03
job
34:03
and
34:03
has
34:04
the
34:04
money
34:04
to
34:04
be
34:04
able
34:05
to
34:05
buy
34:05
his
34:05
son
34:06
whatever
34:06
he
34:06
wants.
34:08
Myron
34:08
isn't
34:09
as
34:09
well
34:09
developed,
34:10
but
34:10
it's
34:10
clear
34:10
he
34:11
doesn't
34:11
have
34:11
the
34:11
same
34:11
amount
34:12
of
34:12
wealth
34:12
and
34:12
privilege.
34:13
He's
34:14
also
34:14
a
34:14
black
34:14
man,
34:15
which
34:15
I
34:15
think
34:15
is
34:16
relevant
34:16
to
34:16
how
34:16
systemic
34:17
racism
34:17
can
34:18
make
34:18
people
34:18
of
34:18
colour
34:19
work
34:19
longer
34:20
hours
34:20
for
34:20
less
34:21
money.
34:22
Myron
34:22
isn't
34:23
a
34:23
particularly
34:23
good
34:24
guy.
34:24
He
34:24
does
34:25
attempt
34:25
to
34:25
endanger
34:26
a
34:26
young
34:26
child,
34:26
after
34:27
all,
34:27
and
34:27
yet
34:27
he
34:28
gets
34:28
the
34:28
toy
34:28
at
34:28
the
34:29
end.
34:29
But
34:29
he
34:29
also
34:30
probably
34:30
ends
34:30
up
34:30
in
34:30
jail.
34:31
So
34:31
his
34:31
child
34:32
may
34:32
get
34:32
the
34:32
doll,
34:33
but
34:33
his
34:34
child
34:34
is
34:34
going
34:34
to
34:34
miss
34:34
out
34:35
on
34:35
a
34:35
father.
34:36
Myron
34:37
understands
34:37
the
34:37
consumerist
34:38
system
34:39
more
34:39
than
34:39
Howard
34:40
because
34:40
he
34:40
went
34:40
to
34:40
junior
34:41
college
34:41
for
34:41
a
34:41
semester
34:42
and
34:42
studied
34:42
psychology.
34:43
Jamie
34:44
doesn't
34:44
get
34:45
the
34:45
doll,
34:45
but
34:46
fingers
34:47
crossed,
34:47
we
34:47
hope
34:48
gets
34:48
a
34:48
loving
34:49
present
34:49
father.
34:50
Jamie
34:51
doesn't
34:51
need
34:51
Turboman
34:52
because
34:52
he
34:53
has
34:53
his
34:53
dad,
34:54
except
34:54
the
34:55
movie
34:55
phrases
34:55
it
34:55
as
34:56
he
34:56
doesn't
34:56
need
34:56
Turboman
34:57
because
34:57
he
34:58
has
34:58
the
34:58
real
34:58
Turboman
34:59
at
34:59
home.
35:00
Just
35:00
ignore
35:01
the
35:01
fact
35:01
that
35:01
neither
35:01
Howard's
35:02
wife
35:02
or
35:03
son
35:03
recognise
35:04
his
35:04
face
35:04
under
35:05
a
35:05
clear
35:05
yellow
35:06
visor,
35:07
nor
35:07
do
35:07
they
35:07
recognize
35:08
his
35:08
very
35:09
Austrian
35:09
accent.
35:11
I
35:11
know
35:11
Rita
35:11
Wilson
35:12
has
35:12
spoken
35:12
about
35:12
this
35:12
in
35:13
interviews
35:13
and
35:13
how
35:13
embarrassed
35:14
she
35:14
still
35:15
is
35:15
by
35:15
the
35:15
fact
35:16
that
35:16
her
35:16
character
35:16
doesn't
35:17
recognize
35:17
her
35:17
own
35:17
husband.
35:18
But
35:18
honestly,
35:19
I
35:19
just
35:19
think
35:19
it's
35:19
hilarious.
35:21
I
35:21
never
35:21
grew
35:22
up
35:22
with
35:22
this
35:22
movie,
35:23
I
35:23
have
35:23
zero
35:24
nostalgia
35:24
goggles
35:25
for
35:25
it,
35:25
and
35:26
yet
35:26
I
35:26
actually
35:27
quite
35:27
enjoy
35:27
it
35:28
for
35:28
all
35:28
its
35:29
slapstick
35:29
fun.
35:29
It's
35:30
got
35:30
some
35:30
really
35:30
fun
35:31
moments,
35:31
and
35:32
Phil
35:32
Hartman
35:32
is
35:32
great,
35:33
just
35:33
great
35:33
as
35:34
Sleazeball
35:34
Ted.
35:35
It's
35:35
unfortunate
35:36
that
35:36
Rita
35:37
Wilson
35:37
isn't
35:37
given
35:37
more
35:38
to
35:38
do,
35:38
but
35:39
wives
35:39
and
35:39
mothers
35:39
in
35:40
90s
35:40
comedies
35:41
never
35:41
really
35:41
were,
35:42
and
35:42
regular
35:43
listeners
35:43
will
35:43
know
35:44
how
35:44
much
35:44
of
35:44
a
35:44
soft
35:44
spot
35:45
I
35:45
have
35:45
for
35:45
Arnie
35:46
that
35:46
I
35:46
grew
35:47
up
35:47
watching
35:47
many
35:48
of
35:48
his
35:48
movies
35:48
with
35:48
my
35:49
own
35:49
dad.
35:50
People
35:50
genuinely
35:51
love
35:51
this
35:51
movie
35:52
and
35:52
it's
35:52
thought
35:53
of
35:53
incredibly
35:54
fondly.
35:54
It
35:55
feels
35:55
like
35:56
the
35:56
Jingle
35:56
all
35:57
the
35:57
Way
35:57
Naissance
35:58
is
35:58
a
35:58
thing.
35:59
Or
35:59
at
35:59
least
35:59
I'm
35:59
going
36:00
to
36:00
try
36:00
and
36:00
make
36:00
it
36:01
a
36:01
thing.
36:02
This
36:02
movie
36:03
for
36:03
so
36:03
many
36:04
years
36:04
was
36:04
called
36:05
a
36:05
bad
36:05
Christmas
36:06
Movie.
36:06
It's
36:07
not.
36:07
It's
36:08
a
36:08
silly
36:08
Christmas
36:09
movie
36:09
for
36:09
sure,
36:10
but
36:10
it's
36:10
actually
36:10
way
36:11
more
36:11
Christmassy
36:12
than
36:12
most.
36:13
What
36:13
speaks
36:14
to
36:14
modern
36:14
Christmas
36:14
traditions
36:15
more
36:15
than
36:16
workaholic
36:16
parents?
36:17
That
36:18
one
36:18
gift
36:18
their
36:18
child
36:19
wants
36:19
more
36:19
than
36:19
anything,
36:20
and
36:20
an
36:21
inability
36:21
to
36:21
get
36:22
it?
36:22
Nowadays
36:23
we
36:23
go
36:23
on
36:24
ebay
36:24
to
36:24
try
36:24
and
36:24
find
36:25
it.
36:25
Back
36:25
then
36:25
they
36:26
queued
36:26
outside
36:26
shops.
36:27
It's
36:27
all
36:27
the
36:28
same.
36:28
It
36:29
also
36:29
perfectly
36:30
summarizes
36:30
the
36:30
true
36:31
meaning
36:31
of
36:31
any
36:31
good
36:32
Christmas
36:32
movie
36:33
that
36:33
family
36:33
and
36:34
loved
36:34
ones
36:34
are
36:34
more
36:35
important,
36:36
that
36:36
togetherness
36:36
is
36:37
more
36:37
than
36:37
having
36:37
the
36:37
biggest
36:38
and
36:38
best
36:38
toys,
36:39
but
36:39
mostly
36:40
that
36:40
Howard
36:41
Langston
36:41
isn't
36:42
a
36:42
pervert.
36:43
He
36:43
was
36:43
just
36:43
looking
36:44
for
36:44
a
36:44
Turboman
36:45
doll.
36:46
Thank
36:46
you

36:46
listening.
36:47

37:14
It
37:14
all
37:14
helps
37:14
really
37:15
to
37:15
get
37:15
the
37:16
word
37:16
out
37:16
there
37:16
and
37:16
to
37:17
hopefully
37:17
get
37:18
other
37:18
people
37:18
to
37:19
know
37:19
this
37:19

37:20
and
37:20
know
37:20
what
37:20
I've
37:20
been
37:21
doing.
37:21
I
37:21
genuinely
37:22
love
37:22
doing
37:23
this
37:23
podcast
37:23
and
37:24
anything
37:24
you
37:24
could
37:24
do
37:25
to
37:25
help
37:25
would
37:25
be
37:26
so
37:26
appreciated.
37:27
If
37:28
you
37:28
like
37:28
this
37:28
episode
37:29
on
37:29
Jingle
37:29
all
37:29
the
37:30
Way,
37:30
I
37:30
do
37:31
have
37:31
many
37:31
Christmas
37:32
episodes
37:32
in
37:33
the
37:33
back
37:33
catalog.
37:33
However,
37:34
I
37:34
wanted
37:34
to
37:34
recommend
37:35
two
37:35
specifically.
37:36
The
37:37
first
37:37
is
37:37
episode
37:38
131,
37:39
Krampus,
37:40
which
37:41
technically
37:41
is
37:41
a
37:41
horror
37:42
movie,
37:42
but
37:43
it
37:43
also
37:43
talks
37:43
about
37:44
consumerism
37:44
and
37:45
capitalism.
37:46
And
37:46
basically
37:46
the
37:47
fact
37:47
that
37:47
Krampus
37:48
doesn't
37:48
like
37:48
that
37:48
Christmas
37:49
has
37:49
turned
37:49
into
37:49
that
37:50
and
37:51
he
37:51
wants
37:51
to
37:51
punish
37:52
people.
37:52
It's
37:52
a
37:53
very
37:53
fun
37:53
movie.
37:53
I
37:53
like
37:54
it
37:54
a
37:54
lot.
37:55
And
37:55
episode
37:56
185,
37:57
the
37:57
Muppet
37:57
Christmas
37:58
Carol,
37:58
because
37:59
it
37:59
just
38:00
is
38:00
the
38:00
greatest
38:01
Christmas
38:01
movie
38:01
ever
38:02
made
38:02
and
38:02
I
38:02
will
38:02
die
38:03
on
38:03
that
38:03
hill.
38:04
As
38:04
always.
38:05
Give
38:05
me
38:05
feedback,
38:06
let
38:06
me
38:06
know
38:07
what
38:07
you
38:07
think.
38:08
But
38:08
speaking
38:09
of
38:09
the
38:09
Muppet
38:10
Christmas
38:10
Carol
38:11
and
38:12
a
38:12
story
38:12
that's
38:12
been
38:13
adapted
38:13
many
38:14
times
38:14
on
38:14
film,
38:15
and
38:15
that
38:16
is
38:16
Charles
38:16
Dickens,
38:17
A
38:17
Christmas
38:17
Carol.
38:18
Now,
38:18
nothing
38:19
beats
38:19
the
38:19
Muppet
38:20
Christmas
38:20
Carol
38:20
as
38:21
far
38:21
as
38:21
adaptations
38:22
of
38:22
A
38:22
Christmas
38:22
Carol
38:23
go.
38:23
But
38:24
as
38:24
far
38:24
as
38:24
modern
38:25
retellings
38:25
go,
38:26
none
38:27
is
38:27
quite
38:27
as
38:27
memorable
38:28
as
38:29
the
38:29
story
38:29
of
38:29
TV
38:30
executive
38:30
Frank
38:31
Cross,
38:32
played
38:32
by
38:32
Bill
38:33
Murray
38:33
In
38:34
Richard
38:34
Donner's
38:35
1988
38:36
black
38:36
comedy
38:36
Scrooged,
38:38
which
38:38
possibly
38:39
is
38:39
one
38:39
of
38:39
the
38:40
most
38:40
underrated
38:41
Christmas
38:41
movies
38:42
ever
38:42
made.
38:43
So
38:44
join
38:45
me
38:45
next
38:45
week
38:45
for
38:45
the
38:46
history
38:46
and
38:46
legacy
38:47
of
38:47
Scrooged
38:48
as
38:49
we
38:49
continue
38:49
counting
38:50
down
38:50
to
38:50
Christmas
38:51
on
38:51
Verbal
38:51
Diorama.
38:52
Hopefully
38:53
you
38:53
enjoy
38:53
what
38:53
I
38:54
do
38:54
for
38:54
this
38:54
podcast
38:54
and
38:55
you
38:55
have
38:55
some
38:56
spare
38:56
change
38:56
and
38:56
you
38:56
want
38:57
to
38:57
support
38:57
an
38:57
indie
38:57
podcaster
38:58
who
38:58
does
38:58
literally
38:59
all
38:59
of
38:59
this,
39:00
everything
39:01
on
39:01
her
39:01
own.
39:01
I
39:02
have
39:02
no
39:02
assistance.
39:03
I
39:03
have
39:03
no
39:03
one
39:04
helping.
39:04
I
39:04
have
39:05
no
39:05
one
39:05
doing
39:05
research
39:06
for
39:06
me.
39:06
I
39:06
have
39:06
to
39:07
do
39:07
it
39:07
all
39:07
by
39:07
myself.
39:08
And
39:08
it's
39:09
really
39:09
hard
39:10
sometimes.
39:10
It's
39:10
really
39:11
tough.
39:11
But
39:12
if
39:12
you
39:12
enjoy
39:13
and
39:13
you
39:13
get
39:14
something
39:14
out
39:14
of
39:14
these
39:14
episodes
39:15
and
39:15
you
39:15
have
39:16
the
39:16
means
39:16
to
39:16
help,
39:17
you're
39:17
under
39:17
no
39:17
obligation,
39:18
of
39:18
course,
39:19
but
39:19
there
39:20
are
39:20
a
39:20
couple
39:20
of
39:20
ways
39:20
you
39:20
can
39:21
help
39:21
if
39:21
you
39:22
have
39:22
the
39:22
means
39:22
to.
39:23
You
39:23

say,
40:20
I
40:21
listened
40:21
to
40:21
this
40:21
episode
40:21
and
40:22
I
40:22
watched
40:22
the
40:22
movie
40:22
and
40:23
this
40:23
is
40:23
what
40:23
I
40:23
thought
40:24
of
40:24
the
40:24
movie.
40:24
I
40:25
would
40:25
genuinely
40:25
love
40:26
to
40:26
hear
40:26
from
40:26
you
40:26
you
40:26
can
40:27
also
40:27
DM
40:27
me
40:27
On
40:27
social
40:28
media
40:28
as
40:28
well.
40:29
I
40:29
really
40:30
love
40:30
to
40:30
hear
40:30
from
40:30
people,
40:30
and
40:31
I
40:31
always
40:31
try
40:32
to
40:32
respond
40:32
as
40:32
quickly
40:32
as
40:33
possible.
40:33
I'm
40:34
hugely
40:34
grateful
40:35
to
40:35
you
40:35
all
40:35
for
40:35
your
40:36
support.
40:37
And
40:37
finally,
40:39
Christmas,
41:27
Bye.
