Dead and maiden. The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky.
0:05
We wouldn't know because we're so happy inside. Some people boat boot on
0:12
some skis, but we would rather sit on down and talk some movies.
0:17
Where the Abbot indoorsmen gun. Listen to our show where the Abbot indoorsmen at
0:25
home or on the go, where the Abbot indoors man, we hope.
0:30
So come on in and stay. We'll do our best to make you smile.
0:35
We're indoors man. What's happening? I'm rab Lundquist by Bouts, and
0:45
we're the Abot Indoorsman. How are you today? Buddy? Hi everybody.
0:48
Oh, I felt like we're inviting people into a lounge or something there,
0:52
you know, felt very very lounge, very sexy vibes. No baby at
0:59
me. I'm doing well. How are you today? I am good.
1:03
Not a whole lot to really talk about. Life is good. I am
1:11
just chilling out. I actually I did actually go in in record today.
1:17
I'm not just doing nothing nice. But yeah, it's been pretty chill man,
1:23
that's beautiful. I went into an office today and did work. It
1:26
was weird. Whoa I hated it. No, I didn't hate it,
1:30
but I don't need to do it every day. That's no. No,
1:34
we had like an in person meeting. It was weird, but sure,
1:38
that's fine. That's good for it made the day go fast. Yeah,
1:44
you know, just change it up a tiny bit. But yeah, yeah,
1:46
I know Kelsey. She she has been doing the whole telehealth thing,
1:51
like over the internet, um, and she has recently gone back to the
1:56
office and she actually really likes doing it because she gets that like time to
2:01
herself with a commute and not totally get that yep, immediately becoming mom as
2:07
soon as she opens up the door. So especially, Yeah, it's not
2:10
like the stuff she's thinking about is like, you know, during work is
2:15
all very easy and right. Yeah, so she can kind of decompress a
2:20
little bit and she really likes that. So it's great. Love that.
2:23
Yeah, that's nice. But what do you think should we talk about the
2:28
last movie you watched? I think we should, buddy. I went to
2:30
a theater I do, I do, and I saw the latest Wes Anderson
2:37
film. I saw Asteroid Cities, sinsys. That's what I was going to
2:43
talk about. My God, we're so cute or whatever. Tell me everything.
2:50
Yeah, I really really enjoyed this. I thought, once again,
2:53
it is. I mean, even if you didn't know, you would know
2:58
this is a Wes Anderson film, you know what I mean, Like pretty
3:00
early, you'd figure it out very soon. Yeah, it's very stylized and
3:06
weird and fun, and yeah, I think we both share this. I
3:12
really just like his vibe. I think he comes up with really kooky but
3:16
fun settings, and his like his dialogue is all just so yummy and weird
3:23
and silly and yeah, I just and he can get so many people to
3:29
be in his movies. It's absolutely insane, it really is. Yeah,
3:35
I I loved it. I don't know what else to say, really,
3:39
I mean, it was just so much fun. I think everyone that likes
3:44
his style should go see it right away. If you don't, I get
3:50
it, Like you probably don't have to bother you know what I mean.
3:52
Like it's so specific that it's like, well, if that's just not your
3:57
vibe, then I get it, no big deal. But don't he's not
4:00
changing for anybody, you know, Like, no, you know, so
4:04
it's his own thing. Um, but yeah, super weird, super fun.
4:09
I had a great time. I loved it. Yeah, I have
4:12
a similar take on that. The cast is absolutely bananas, like you said,
4:16
and he got some people he's never had in his films before, the
4:20
biggest being Tom Hanks. That was really fun. But there's been some other
4:25
folks, you know, Margot Robbie was in there and there. Yeah,
4:29
I don't know if Steve Carrell had done a Wes anderson movie before this,
4:32
So Jeffrey was in there. Yeah, I don't had he done stuff with
4:38
him before? I guess I don't know. I feel like he might have
4:42
been in Graham Budapest, but oh, you might be right. But anyway,
4:47
this is one of the weirder Wes Anderson movies I've seen. Yeah,
4:53
I'm not sure what the overarching theme is to this one. We get some
4:58
black and white scenes that are fun, but then we get this like turquoise
5:01
brown and yellow palette that's really fun to look at. Yeah, desert vibe,
5:08
desert vibe. But then you get this really bright red that Scarlett Johansson's
5:13
character brings in, and it's just it's very it's very fun to look at.
5:17
Um. So I'm into Wes Anderson as you are, and I like
5:21
his style so much. But I think if people aren't big Wes Anderson fans,
5:27
they might not get much out of this one. It's kind of how
5:30
I feel about especially if you really like like a tight story, you know
5:36
what I mean, like real easy through line to see that this isn't it.
5:43
It's more not it. It's almost like his last one literally was kind
5:47
of vignettes of sorts, and this one is less of that, but still
5:51
that same kind of vibe almost, you know, like he finds sort of
5:56
a loose way to tie all these little set pieces together. Kind of what
6:00
it feels like almost, Yeah, but in a great way, not a
6:03
that sounds almost like a criticism, and I don't mean it that way.
6:08
Yeah, yeah, I mean it. I don't think it's kind of middle
6:12
of the pack Wes Anderson. For me, it's not. It's not one
6:14
of my favors of his. Yeah, I get that. I just every
6:17
time I go to one of his movies, I'm just like, yeah,
6:19
what a weirdough. I love it. It's a weirdo. I honestly think
6:24
this is my first time seeing Wes Anderson movie in the theater. I always
6:28
wait so I see it at home. Yeah that kind of makes sense though,
6:32
I mean you don't have to see them in the theater. I don't
6:35
think now French dishpatch in the theater. And I loved it a lot.
6:43
Yeah, I like that one. I like that one more than this one,
6:46
I think. Yeah, I don't know, they're so hard to compare
6:48
even but yeah, anyway, yeah, anyway, yeah, I think if
6:53
you like it, you're gonna like it. Yeah, yeah, cool.
6:58
What have you been streaming? So? I streamed the first episode of A
7:02
Secret Invasion last night? Oh nice? Yeah, a little marble action.
7:10
Yeah, I'm super pumped for this story. I don't know a lot about
7:14
it, but I know, like the comic book NERD folks are super into
7:18
it. It's a really fun story arc, I guess. And it's gonna
7:24
feature you know, Samuel l a lot as Nick Fury, which is always
7:28
good. Yeah. Yeah, and I think it's like a I think it's
7:31
sort of a limited release, right, Isn't it only like a few episodes?
7:36
Like six or eight is what comes to mind. But I don't know,
7:40
so I don't know that information. Yeah, it's a kind of a
7:45
clandestiny almost spy, you know, vibe, and it's really cool and I
7:51
don't know how they're going to get out of this crazy thing, but it's
7:55
gonna be fun. Yeah, it was fun seeing Amelia Clark and h yes,
8:01
yeah, there's another dude in there that I like, and um,
8:05
well Ben Mendelssohn is in it again. Yea, Kingsley, that was the
8:11
guy. Yep, what's his last name, Kingsley, something like a deer
8:15
or something. Yeah, yeah, hold on, I'm clicking on him.
8:18
Benedier Yep, you're right, You're right. He's super fun. And how
8:22
about that guy in the he's in that one of the first scenes, but
8:26
he's got that crazy deep boys. Did you recognize that guy? I did
8:30
not recognize him at all. Put that voice something it was it was scary.
8:35
But yeah, I'm super pumped. And uh, you know, ever
8:41
ever since I saw Nick Fury cut his sandwich diagonally and talked about on the
8:46
pod, it's one of my favorite things. So yeah I remember that.
8:50
So yeah, I feel pretty good about my nerdy self during that. But
8:54
yeah, it's super fun. I'm really excited to see where it goes.
8:56
And it kind of like I feel like we're getting back to like a superhero
9:05
film that's kind of lower global stakes. I mean, still big global steaks,
9:09
but not like universe wide. I don't know, but maybe it will.
9:15
I don't know find out. This one snuck up on me, dude.
9:18
I didn't hear anything about this show, and I seriously saw yeah when
9:22
I was like on Disney Plus checking out to you know, look at something
9:26
to watch. Yeah, and it was like the first thing. I was
9:30
like, oh, oh, okay, I guess I'll watch this. I
9:31
watch. I only watched the first half hour. I felt like they didn't
9:35
like pump It as much as they have you know, other projects in the
9:39
past. But maybe they did and I just didn't see it. I don't
9:41
know. I'm with you though it I knew it was a thing because people
9:45
were excited and then snuck up on me that was coming out this soon.
9:48
So I'm with you. Yeah, Yeah, cool for sure. Nice.
9:52
What have you been streaming? Guests? I love the new show and Apple
9:56
TV Plus called Platonic with Seth Rogan and Roseburn. It's on my list.
10:01
That looks so fun, It's wonderful. I've gone through the first seven episodes
10:07
and currently while we're recording this, that's all they put out. The eighth
10:11
episode that they come out on Wednesdays perfect. But man, those two they
10:18
play off each other so well. They both were made for these roles.
10:22
Seth Rogan is a recently divorce guy who doesn't have kids and likes his freedom
10:26
and being trendy. And Roseburne plays a housewife like mom who wants to get
10:31
back into the workforce after being out of it for so long. But really
10:37
some genuinely hilarious scenes and some really really awkward scenes where you're like watching it
10:45
through your fingers, just like, oh, don't say that, you don't
10:48
do that. Stop it kind of like the Office style, you know,
10:54
sure where you just feel embarrassed for them. You don't love that style all
10:58
the time, right, like it like like the original Office, like the
11:03
Ricky Gervais one that like gets gets borderline too much for me. Yeah,
11:07
yeah, I like a little bit of that, Yeah, you know,
11:11
and sprinkle this this is there, this is in the right. But I've
11:18
been really enjoying it. I'm gonna keep watching it. And mat Apple,
11:20
I feel like has been doing great with the shows. Yeah, they like
11:24
they're killing it. I can't wait that I've seen the add a couple of
11:28
times. I thought it was a movie at first, and I was like
11:31
in and then I was like a series. Okay, it's great, twist
11:35
my arm, you know, really fun. And and I wasn't super familiar
11:39
with the other supporting cast, but they're all great. Everybody's wonderful too.
11:45
Yeah, well, good, good God. Seth Rogan is acting too.
11:50
I mean I think he has been the whole time, but he was producing
11:52
so much stuff and all that. The directing yea, yeah, he's writing,
11:56
yeah, he's and he's just perfect in this. It's like made for
12:00
him. Love it nice, very cool, buddy, Well, what do
12:03
you say, should we do a few plug roonies? I think we should.
12:07
That would be great. Nice. You guys can piss us as always
12:09
over on the Twitter Machine, where we're at Abbot Endorsement with a Z,
12:11
or you can go to Facebook dot com slash the Abbot Endorsement. Also available
12:16
on Instagram and TikTok at the Abbot Endorsement as well. But if you really
12:22
want to be part of the crew and hang out, that's about to go
12:24
in Patreon dot com slash the Abot Endorsement. It's a great time over on
12:28
Patreon. We love our patrons, so we like to throw a lot of
12:31
perks at him, and one of them is getting a shout out here,
12:35
so I would like to shout out Marsha Greziac, Mary Fox, Nanette Walkley,
12:39
Ruth Coode, Johem Brostad, Jackie Houston, Deborah Olk, and Noah
12:43
Floras. You guys are wonderful, big fans of each and every one of
12:48
you. And another perk that we like to give our patrons is an extended
12:52
version of every episode we put out. We like to call it our podcast
12:56
and chill version, and we'll do a top five draft that pertains the movie
13:00
we're talking about, and for this one we finally did it. We're doing
13:03
our top five favorite bathroom scenes. WHOA, there are some money money scenes.
13:13
Going to be a fun draft. Also, a lot of them are
13:16
kind of gross, so if you're not into that, this might not be
13:18
the draft free. I was surprised how many scenes take place in a bathroom
13:24
that aren't gross, that are just like scenes. Oh, I didn't find
13:28
any of those. I only found the gross ones. So this is ah,
13:35
this will be a blast. I'm super pimped saying. We also have
13:39
another podcast coming up next time that's going to be also very fun. As
13:43
we review step Brothers Gang. Yes, the comedy classic, so stay tuned
13:52
for that. It will be a blast. I don't remember when it came
13:54
out, is it it's fifteen? Yes, yes, it is this team
14:00
en yep. I suppose that makes sense given how time generally works. Okay,
14:05
let's move on. But we're here today to talk about another fabulous movie.
14:11
It is called There's Something About Mary, and we are just so excited,
14:16
and we had to bring in a guy that we also just have a
14:20
large crush on. I think both Rob and I are just enamored with him.
14:24
We get to sort of the pustules on our eyebrows anytime we think about
14:28
him because we're so nervous all the we'll talk about that that was a choice,
14:35
that was a choice, but we really truly and deeply love him.
14:39
Everyone give it up our Neil Gosh? What's up? Neil? Oh?
14:45
Hello? How Hello? It's good to see sure, good to see you
14:50
guys. Been a minute. I know, how have you been? I've
14:54
been great, man, It's been a nice slow time of year, getting
14:58
out there and enjoying the sunshine. Can't complain. I love it. I
15:01
love that man joined that Pacific Northwest. Are you that's right. I keep
15:05
giving bugs the sales pitch to move out here, but so far it really
15:09
does. You would do well of it there. He loves I agree.
15:13
He loves the rain. I love the rain. Yeah, he would do
15:18
well. There's lots of pretty things. There's lots of tasty things. This
15:20
is a great place to be. Man. You're there and you're pretty.
15:24
There's a whole tour of pizza that I have in store just for you,
15:28
just for Youson to me. My residence in your location has nothing to do
15:31
with that pizza list, but we'll do on that pizza list. It's gonna
15:35
be rob and I'm gonna love it. I'm gonna love every second of it.
15:39
It's gonna be fun. Yeah, man, nice. Uh you wanted
15:43
us to plug for you? Uh? Something called the Adam Chance dot Com.
15:48
Never heard of it, but they have merchandise there. So yeah.
15:50
He was a kind stranger I met on the street one day. It's giving
15:54
me sort of pirate vibes. I don't know. He didn't rob me,
15:56
but he did have some cool merce for sales. So you know, you
15:58
want to check it out and feel free, very prity and speaking of pirates,
16:02
go to get to Skull and Bones available for pre order. I don't
16:07
know. At some point, what do you want from me? I don't
16:08
want them. Cool, they're going to pre order it at some point.
16:12
Cool. Yeah, I don't know how we do things, but yeah,
16:18
it's a fun song that Adam Chance wrote four Home Free. So I meant
16:23
the game. You can pre order the game, got you, got You?
16:29
Okay? Cool? Yeah? Do that? Give Ubisov some money they
16:33
presumably they don't have enough. They seem like they're struggling. Buy the song
16:37
first, You're right. Nope, you're right. Buy the song first,
16:40
listen to it roughly nine million times, but then also get the game,
16:44
because then, you know, you guys presumably will be used for a lot
16:48
of things. Then after that, and we love being used, you're it
16:51
will be an ascending cannonball into the side of another person's ship. I don't
16:57
I'm not good at off. This metaphor is drifting away a little bit.
17:02
It is, it's drifting. It's we need to raise the jib Okay,
17:07
Oh, let's talk about a fun movie here, Yeah, to talk about
17:10
there's something about Mary celebrating it's twenty fifth anniversary that is a sobering number.
17:18
Isn't that crazy? Nineteen ninety eight year for media, Yeah, it really
17:26
was. It really was been a good year for anniversaries and things. But
17:30
Rob, I would like you to get us started with just a rough synopsy.
17:36
I'd love to, okay. Ted's dream prom date with Mary never happened
17:41
due to an embarrassing injury at her home. Years later, Ted hires Pat
17:47
Heely to track down Mary so he can reconnect with her. Pat lies to
17:51
Ted about Mary, and he finds out everything he can about her to trick
17:53
her into dating him. Ted travels to meet Mary and as to weave through
17:57
the web of lives that Pat and Mary's friend Tucker have woven to try and
18:03
win her over. Beautiful, well done, well done, well done.
18:11
Let's go to rotten Tomats and everything they have to say. Critics have this
18:14
coming in at kind of a surprising eighty four percent. Yeah, yeah,
18:19
I was shocked by that a little bit, saying it's bad, but just
18:22
like, well, okay, we just recently did The Great Outdoors, which
18:27
is one of my favorite comedies of all time, and critic had that at
18:30
forty one percent. Wow, that's like, how how are we going to
18:36
have this at eighty four, but yeah, whatever, I think it caught
18:40
a lot of people in their peak though it was it was kind of true.
18:45
Yeah, I don't know, it was before people started hating on them
18:48
toos Bose. Yeah. Interesting. Audience members didn't like it nearly as much,
18:52
though they had it at sixty one percent, which I also found kind
18:57
of interesting. Yeah that is surprising. I would have thought those would be
19:00
reversed. Yeah. Same, Yeah, I can't tell. I feel that
19:03
these crazy critics you just never know, you never know, you never know.
19:07
But let's find out what we think and let's get into our hot take.
19:11
Ooh, spicy, that's a hot take. That's a hot take.
19:18
I never get tired of hearing that. By the way, I know it's
19:21
so fun. I can't remember who we had on recently and they were like,
19:23
that just gets longer and longer. That one had more burn injury than
19:27
previous. I feel like I'm very badly get a second degree. I think,
19:34
yes, exactly, it's robinized. The only reason we still do the
19:38
pod, to be honest, rest of it's gravy. You can just shut
19:42
it off right here. We already had the highlights. We're good for sure.
19:47
For sure. My hot take is I really liked this movie a lot.
19:52
Uh. I used to really love it. I still do as well.
19:56
Um, it ages no awesome in all fronts, that's for sure,
20:03
but not the worst it could, so it's not terrible. There's a lot
20:06
of like, uh, like gay slur stuff. It's like sort of said
20:12
in like a mocking tone, so like it's it's kind of hard like are
20:17
they making fun of that? Are they just saying it? It's hard to
20:19
really tell. So that doesn't age great, but a lot of it is
20:25
still really great. I think like Cameron Diaz is still is so charming in
20:30
this movie, so fun. Ben's diller is he's like usual brand of like
20:37
underdog that you think is kind of a dufus, but you like him.
20:41
You know, he's not playing the other role he plays is when he's like
20:44
a complete psychopath, and he's not that in this one. He's the lovable
20:48
doofy guy, which I like a lot. Uh. There is an exceptional
20:52
amount of Cameron Diaz nipple shots in this movie, like it is she didn't
21:00
is really something how much they emphasized that everywhere they filmed was chili. For
21:07
sure. It was crazy in Miami apparently. I don't know, but but
21:17
yeah, I don't know. I liked the music. I thought, like
21:19
the bit parts with all the crazy idiot Stoker guys, we're pretty funny.
21:25
For the most part. They were pretty silly and fun. I found out
21:29
I watched the extended edition because there was a whole plot line that I didn't
21:33
remember, and then in trivia I found out why interesting. So that's fun.
21:37
So we can talk about that a little bit later. Um. But
21:41
yeah, I just overall, I think it's a pretty funny movie. Still.
21:45
It's it's got like a sweet little thing, and it goes from sort
21:49
of that hard comedy into rom com in a way that I know I appreciate.
21:55
So I had a nice time with it. I loved it. It
21:59
was full hot take but scorching hot Miami summer hot. Yes. I remember
22:08
this movie coming out and thinking it was hilarious. I wasn't a huge Bend
22:15
Stiller fan at this point, um, just because I hadn't seen him in
22:18
a bunch of stuff. But I was a huge fan of the Fairly Brothers
22:22
because they had made Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin before this yea, and thought
22:26
that they were making the funniest movies out there. I think they come up
22:33
with the best bits, and then it feels like they weave a story around
22:38
those hilarious bits. And like you said, some of these things you probably
22:45
can't do today, I don't think you can still have someone playing a mentally
22:52
handicapped person. Even that's a super good point that, Yeah, that's tough.
22:56
I will say that with the caveat that, I thought that w Earl
23:00
Brown was incredible in that role. So I don't know how that works,
23:04
but I don't even can't really do it anymore. It was good that they
23:10
didn't like make that the butt of the jokes though, like it was more
23:12
in defense of like treating people who are mentally handicapped in a more humane way,
23:19
Like every time somebody did something mean towards him, they were swiftly punished
23:23
for it kind of thing, which is like actually to show good people from
23:27
bad people, right, Like mostly at least I think, yeah, I'm
23:33
with ye, But still, yeah, it was tough that part stuff.
23:37
But I remember thinking it was both great and awful that Brett Farve ended up
23:42
being the Brett that they were talking about. Like, I thought it was
23:45
funny, but also being a die hard Vikings fan or like Brett Farv.
23:52
Come on, I of all people, seriously, I wish it would have
23:57
been Randall for Randall Cunningham at that time. Mary's from Minnesota. It's in
24:03
her backstory right, unbelievable could have had Randall in there. But um yeah,
24:11
I just it's a really great comedy. I hadn't seen it for a
24:15
very long time. It was fun to rewatch. And also, can we
24:18
bring back the gag rail during the credits because those are so much fun to
24:22
watch? Yeah? Always great. I enjoyed that whole ending. It was
24:27
so much fun. I do have a hot take, Oh Rob, please
24:32
my hot take. And maybe this is controversial, but I do not find
24:37
Chris Elliot funny at all. Something about him, something about him rubs me
24:45
the wrong way. And I don't believe anything that comes out of his mouth.
24:52
I just don't buy it. Waits, because he's been in some of
24:59
my favorite things, such as Groundhog Day, Ship's Creek, I love Shit's
25:03
Creek. Just can't stand him. He is probably my least favorite character.
25:10
And but I mean, that's that's interesting. I don't know that the boils
25:14
on his face helped with that, it's visually disconcerting as well. Yeah,
25:18
yeah, I have about that later then she's gonna love that. But yeah,
25:22
I have never been a Chris Elliot fan ever. Well, this is
25:27
an awkward time to bring this up, but let's bring him in from the
25:30
waiting room. Chris Elliott, good to see you. He didn't that would
25:37
be fun, wouldn't it. It would be his His daughter is in the
25:41
bear and I think she's pretty great. But watch that Abby Elliott. It's
25:48
um, it's his sister that like runs the books and stuff. She was
25:52
on Saturday Night Live for a while. That's his daughter. Yeah, oh
25:56
I didn't know that, or I forgot it. If I did know that
26:00
from a previous episode or something. Fun. Yeah, yeah, I love
26:03
her. She's great. I like her. Yeah yeah, she was fun
26:06
on SNL too. Ye motion to retroactively edit Abby Elliott into all of Chris
26:11
Elliot's roles for the sake of Rob blood Christ. I'm I'm there, I'm
26:14
there. That's I don't usually throw too much negative stuff out there, but
26:18
I just say I can't. I can't get behind Chris Elliot. I'm sorry.
26:22
Oh that's funny. Yeah, I didn't know this about you, and
26:25
I love it. I love it. I'm only going to bring up Chris
26:27
Elliot now to you. He's my dude. This is awkward. Yes,
26:37
I hadn't. I hadn't seen this movie in probably fifteen years, at least
26:40
ten years in a while. It had been a long time. I definitely
26:44
you know, this was super popular at the time that it came out,
26:45
obviously, but it's been a long time since I watched it. So it
26:48
was fun to rewatch because there's a lot of little moments in this that I
26:51
had completely forgotten about. Agree, Like the whole premise made me feel much
26:56
more gross at thirty five than it did at like nineteen, So like all
27:00
of this, I just felt like, was like, it's a it's a
27:04
gross feel in today's social environment, and I was like, I don't think
27:08
that the premise of this is going to play well if it was made today
27:11
in general, just like the sort of manipulative, whole objectifying situation. But
27:18
having said that, there was kind of some interesting moments in it too that
27:21
were like weirdly empowering towards Mary as a character, where she is like actually
27:26
very independent and like doesn't really fall for the bulk time, so like that
27:30
was kind of it was. It was interesting to see like it was written
27:33
in a way that wasn't like surface level. And of course, like the
27:36
twists in this were great reveals, Like I remember the first time around not
27:40
seeing any of that stuff coming, so like the actors that played all of
27:44
the bit parts and finding out gradually that like all of them are trying to
27:47
pull the same game, like was an awesome reveal the first time around watching
27:51
that movie, And it was kind of fun to knowing that, you know,
27:53
rewatch the movie with that knowledge in mind from the beginning and seeing like
27:56
the little cues and hints that get dropped early on for some of these things,
28:00
which I thought was was pretty funny. But yeah, I enjoyed it.
28:03
It was really funny. It is one of my favorite I think,
28:07
well, I don't know, it's one of my favorite Ben Stiller movies.
28:10
But he has a pretty powerhouse list, so I mean, and that's yeah,
28:14
it's hard to separate really the wheat from the chaff on that one,
28:17
but I enjoyed it great time. Agree with you. Biggs. Cameron has
28:21
super charming. She like to be the character that everybody instantly falls in love
28:25
with I thought she nailed that, Like she is a character that everybody very
28:27
easily can fall in love with. Y just like kind of doesn't have a
28:32
lot of flaws. She's like a little bit quirky, but like an incredibly
28:34
good person and just does all these like good person things, you know.
28:38
So yeah, I think you could change the movie out around Ben Stiller way
28:42
easier than you could around her, right, like swap someone in and out,
28:45
it would be tougher. Yeah, it's it's actually kind of interesting to
28:49
me that most of this movie is carried on the supporting roles, and like
28:53
the main actors, the main two people really do the least to move the
28:57
story forward. It's kind of everybody else that makes it go. So I
29:03
thought, anyway, yeah, that's fun. I like that. But it
29:06
is a good time. I enjoyed rewatching it. Nice man. Hot take.
29:10
Well, you kind of started going into talking about some of your favorite
29:12
performances, and I think we should go there now and talk about the dude,
29:18
dude noise. I'm the dude, so that's what you call me,
29:22
you know that, or his dude nous or duder or you know eldudrino if
29:30
you're not into the whole brevity thing. We got that one neum so I
29:34
had pull on mine. Notes here make sure I don't misquote myself from earlier
29:41
today, My dude, I had Matt Dillon, who played Pat Healey the
29:48
Detective, as my dude, I think, I mean, I didn't look
29:53
up numbers on this, but it feels like he had maybe the most screen
29:56
time or close he's He's in the vast majority the movies best, the majority
30:00
of the scenes, even in parts of where the main characters are not,
30:03
So he had quite a lot to carry with his character, and I think
30:07
he did a pretty good job of it. He's not like obviously a likable
30:11
character because he's like a total pos but like I thought, he did the
30:15
smarmy pis so funny guy really well. So yeah, I had him his
30:19
mind. I definitely had him up there. And I think that was the
30:25
first time I ever saw Matt Dylan play funny, Like he was always in
30:30
dramas, and you know, this was the first time we saw that he
30:34
was like very funny. He has some of the most ridiculous lines in the
30:38
whole movie. He's got no tact super unpc, those teeth were hilarious.
30:45
I was very impressed with him. But I'm gonna pick Cameron Diaz as Mary.
30:51
And it's pretty much from your hot take there, Neil, everything that
30:56
you had said. You know, she had to be so cool, so
31:00
gorgeous to be worth all these guys losing their minds over. And I thought
31:04
she was casted perfectly. She was funny, realized she could get any guy
31:10
she wanted, and was quick to give them flak when they would just kind
31:14
of be like a yes man to her. Yeah, Like she didn't want
31:17
that. She wanted like a real person there with her. I thought that
31:22
was a fun way to play it. And yeah, I just I thought
31:23
she was perfect. Yeah, I also picked Cameron, Yes, yeah,
31:30
all those same reasons. I just you know, she she had to play
31:36
the perfect role of like men wanted to be with her, women wanted to
31:40
be her, you know, like all these things. She's like a little
31:44
bit of a tomboy in it, which is fun because she's sporty, which
31:48
is neat. And and like you said, they didn't make her dumb.
31:52
They didn't make her anything other than maybe just you know, like a bit
31:56
naive and trusting. People are who they say they are. Is that even
32:00
naive or just you know, like a great person? But yeah, I
32:06
just I thought she was great and perfect and the movie needed her. She's
32:10
also, I think only twenty years old, I believe in this, which
32:15
is that young? No, someone like that. Somebody to fact check me
32:20
on that. I might be to look at up checking, look it up,
32:22
look at up. I think she was like twenty six seventy two?
32:28
Oh okay, okay, sent twenty six Yeah, nailed, rob, But
32:32
I disregard what I just said. Pretty young, yeah, to carry the
32:38
sort of like title role totally, And I think I don't know what else
32:43
she had done. I know her first thing was the mask. Um,
32:47
she probably seemed so young she was that age during the mask? Actually sure
32:52
that? Yeah? Yeah, because it would have been before dumb and Dumber
32:59
right or what? Yeah? Yeah, anyway, we die anyway, It's
33:04
fine. She was very young. Yeah, she was young young. Well,
33:09
like you said, um, a ton of supporting roles in this,
33:13
and I think we should now go to that tord Tochy. What do you
33:20
got for this one? Neil? All right? So I don't I think
33:22
I'm gonna pick a different person than you guys are gonna pick, but it's
33:25
really centered on like one scene which we're gonna get to later. But I
33:29
have Lee Evans as Tucker as my coach Nice Nice that partially because he is
33:35
British and so much. It's hilarious to me that his like British accent fake
33:42
character was his real accent and then his real life his real character was a
33:46
fake accent, which I thought was actually really hilarious, but kind of he
33:50
sounded like he was on the Californians if you ever saw that, absolutely very
33:54
like stoner surfer dude vibe. Yeah, but his his character reveals, I
34:00
think the one that I saw coming the least in in like the same first
34:05
viewing of its like it just he did such a good job as a convincing
34:08
like friend as the other architect or whatever. It's like, so sincerely worried
34:14
about, like I have some information about your friend Pat Healy just like you're
34:17
really buying into it, and then you know, having that reveal with him
34:21
just being like a pizza delivery guy was just great. So I had him
34:24
this my coach Nice. I did not have him. Um, I went
34:31
with Puffy the Dog. That's amazing. Puffy just because anytime Puffy was on
34:39
screen, it was a very funny scene. Um made me laugh so hard.
34:47
Yeah we'll get into that, into into the dinghis for sure. But
34:52
yeah, I think Puffy the Dog was brilliant. Um really had to do
34:58
a lot of special effects to do some some crazy choreo. Big big fan
35:01
of Puffy. Nice nice, Yeah, I love it, I love it.
35:07
Uh. Well, shout out to the guy who I think is the
35:10
funniest person in this film, Chris Elliott. Just think he's always a gem
35:15
and so great. H Do you genuinely love Chris Elliott? I feel like
35:22
love is too far, but I definitely don't hate him, yeah for sure.
35:25
Yeah, yeah, I think I just don't believe yeah right right right,
35:30
Yeah yeah, I sort of get that. I think I'm more towards
35:36
love than you are, for sure. Yeah yeah, yeah, for sure?
35:38
Should Elliott actors? Uh some sort of draft around that? Maybe?
35:45
Is that the next one? Five? We got the Sam's got the christ
35:49
the people we don't get movie stars we don't understand though. Yeah. Um,
35:58
well Ben Stiller, we haven't really mentioned him a lot. I thought
36:00
she was very good in this film. Um, I just think he's like
36:07
you know doesn't always make the right choice, but is like an overall a
36:10
good dude which comes through a lot in it. Yeah, which is fun
36:15
and tries to do the right thing and I love that. But also shout
36:19
out to Richard Tyson, who is the cop in the investigation scene and is
36:24
also the dad from Kindergarten Copy. It was like, I will only see
36:31
him as in Kindergarten Cop for sure. For sure. And during the during
36:38
the gag reel at the end, they did this one thing where they're like
36:43
singing and walking out and he does not look like a very jovial man.
36:46
No, not at all. He didn't look like he was, you know,
36:52
being a sour pus. But he just looked like I don't sing and
36:57
dance a lot. I love that, which I thought was pretty great.
37:02
Um, And shout out to Richard Jenkins. So I forgot was in this.
37:06
He's the same dude, the therapist therapist guy at the beginning. Really
37:12
funny. Yeah, there was Um, Sarah Silverman. I didn't remember her
37:15
being in large. I kind of forgot. She too, had no idea.
37:20
She had a couple of funny lines. I didn't remember. Jeffrey tam
37:22
Tambore was in it or in it in the extended edition. Oh okay,
37:30
interesting Marky post as Mary's mom. I always loved her from Night Court.
37:37
Um, I'm dating myself here, Oh yeah, sure. But David in
37:45
the business, Yes, dude, I love Keith David And he was so
37:49
funny. He was really good in his his time on screen too, Like
37:52
he was very funny in those scenes. He was amazing and like I had
37:57
said, like you can't do it today, but I thought view Earl Brown
38:00
was incredible in that role and so free and yeah, I enjoyed his performance
38:08
a lot, and I've seen him pop up in other things and yeah,
38:15
I feel like he really changes his look and everything because like I sometimes forget
38:19
he was even this, you know, yeah, totally. We just saw
38:22
him a Rookie of the Year. Remember yes, it was the catcher.
38:25
Yeah, the catcher person. He was like the bullpen catcher. Yeah yeah,
38:30
for not a lot of time. Yeah yeah, a good call many
38:32
You know what, I'm really proud of us as three Vikings fans that none
38:36
of us picks Brett Farve for any acting words. Yeah, no way.
38:40
But also award he was like, wouldn't even in that yeah, true,
38:47
and I hated him at that time. Had this come out in two thousand
38:51
and nine, I would have been singing a different tune. It's such a
38:54
bummer because I went from hating him to loving him to now being like,
38:58
what we're stealing? Well, fair money for a volleyball court? What's happening?
39:01
Allegedly? I don't think it came out allegedly. I don't know.
39:06
We don't want to. It came out in like, if you know,
39:07
December of O nine. I don't think that we would be very happy about
39:12
it either, that's true. Yeah, that was just a magical year though.
39:15
Yeah, it was really fun watch it was. It was a tense
39:20
time just waiting for the wheels to fall off somehow, and then they did
39:23
and then I found it and then from the circle about this. Yeah,
39:30
anyway, anyway, lots of really great people in this. UM. I
39:37
think now we should talk about some of the hilarious scenes and let's pick the
39:40
dings. So Dingas is quite simply reallyass. I could talk about my Dingas
39:47
all night long. Alright, what do you got what's your favorite scene?
39:51
Okay, so I have at the top of my list, and this is
39:54
Honestly, the reason I picked le Evans as my tach was that him dropping
40:00
his keys in the office absolutely kills me time, just the like full body
40:08
bends forward and backward, and then like the shaking and she like a little
40:13
bit further away the best, and then she like picks up the keys and
40:16
throws it at his hand a couple of times, just like answer to and
40:21
then he goes in the next room and you just hear the keys drop again
40:23
and she just closes the door. That whole scene absolutely kills me so key
40:29
like a belt chain or something like what are we doing here? The commitment
40:32
to that bit so beautiful. That was also like very typical Fairly brothers to
40:38
just let it go for such a long time, agreed, But that was
40:43
probably that is That is probably my favorite scene in this whole movie. That's
40:46
the ones that I think are more famous. Of course, the hair gel
40:51
scene. I think it's the first thing that everybody thinks about when they think
40:55
about this movie. Yeah, um the scene where um Pat and Tucker are
41:00
throwing the dog treats with the speed in them and one lands in Magda's drink
41:05
and then the dog. It's the other ones and all of the chaos that
41:07
ensues when they come in. That's my number one scene. She's lifting up
41:13
the couch the like door banging in the bathroom and he's like that kind of
41:22
dog, did you say you have all that noise across the floor? I
41:29
mean that's the top of the rest of the moves dropping on it. Yeah,
41:32
that's so funny. That's that whole scene. It's hilarious. And then
41:37
right after one, that one when Puffy's in the full body cast and Ben
41:40
still have leaves him on top of the car drive back and plays it off
41:45
like he just took him out. He's like opens the door and it's like,
41:50
oh, yeah, I just got him out. That's a good one.
41:53
And then I had the Brett fare reveale because that was a fun little
41:57
twist. It was man because they mentioned him throughout the whole movie and they
42:00
call him pac Man and stuff, and I was like, man, they
42:02
actually dropped. Nobody would see that kind of nobody did. It was really
42:07
well done. Yeah, yeah, well you picked a couple of Puffy scenes.
42:13
I picked all the Puffy scenes. Um, there is also one where
42:17
uh, he pretty much kills Puffy and so he has to do mouth to
42:22
mouth with this dog. He then like hot wires, some like paddles,
42:28
and like with the lamp shot this stuff. Dog is like on fire,
42:35
on fire, oh man. And then once he throws the water, then
42:38
it wakes up and but they just see him all wrapped up in a towel.
42:44
O, man killed me. I just loved all of those. When
42:51
he tears the leads out of the lamp and then like sparks, that's fun.
42:55
It was so funny. Dude killed me, man, I love that
43:01
you have. Those are all great. I don't know that I think about
43:07
this movie without thinking about the frank above the beans or the beans above the
43:13
franc I should say that that is the Yeah, it's so funny to me,
43:20
that whole thing. And then just like the parents coming in him being
43:24
mortified. Also they apparently live in like a palatial estate where he can be
43:30
looking out at a bird from the bathroom and into her room somehow like what
43:35
is she in the other wing? What'd exactly? Yeah? Yeah, um,
43:45
But just that that whole thing is so funny. I just love it
43:49
so much. Into the We've got a bleeder and oh that might be the
43:52
title for this this episode, they drop him on the ground, which I
43:57
read in trivia was not into like, it was not planned. It just
44:01
happened. Yes, yes, yes, which is so funny. Oh god,
44:08
that whole scene absolutely kills me. And then we have her brother Warren
44:15
as Ted is being brought to the ambulance, just screaming. He was so
44:23
good, dude, that's I love all the scenes you guys said, but
44:29
that one is the one for me. The yeah, the beans above the
44:31
franc is just I mean, I've been around zippers, I've had some things
44:37
happen, but nothing like that. And told them we just have to reverse
44:42
the track. That is the dumbest plan I've ever heard. Bad plan.
44:49
I like that. The cop was just like outside the window too. Yeah,
44:52
and then a fireman and the window apparently in their yard, because again,
44:58
what's happening with this host? I don't know. But that fireman,
45:00
he's a comic and he's been in quite a few things like that Rescue Me
45:06
show for a while. And yeah, yeah, but um yeah, that
45:10
that whole scene, the scream that he makes is unbelievable. It's perfect.
45:19
You can really feel that pain. We got. It's such a good too.
45:28
Yeah, we gotta later. Yeah, So great. Yeah, I
45:31
think I think that might have that might have to win the dinghis because that's
45:37
incredible. Yeah, that's a pretty signature signature moment for sure. I think
45:43
I think we choose it. Okay, let's pick it. Feel good about
45:45
it. I also like that Warren sticks with the nickname Frank and Bean's the
45:50
rest of it. It's so good. Well, we're kind of getting into
45:57
it now, but should we say some more quotes and go to give us
46:09
a couple of quotes? But all right, man, I picked a couple
46:14
of deeper cuts on this one too. But um, the one there's a
46:19
couple that I like, sort of again forgot about because they were like almost
46:22
throwaway lines, like in the background of things. But uh, the one
46:24
where so Pat Healey just went and like fell in love with Maryon is lying
46:30
to Ted when he comes back and give him the whole report and talking about
46:31
how like she's all gross and in a wheelchair and fat and all these things
46:35
and has all these kids. And then he says something about going to Japan,
46:37
and Ted goes Japan, what's she doing in Japan? And heally goes,
46:42
oh, you've heard of mail order brides. Well they go that way
46:44
too, What are they desperate? She's a whale. You can't forget.
46:47
It's a sumo culture, ted, they paid by the pound over there,
46:50
sort of like, uh, tuna, so good, it's so funny.
46:55
It's sumo culture. Sumous a ridiculous, ridiculous reply, and that's great.
47:05
We got the healy I work with. Isn't that a little politically incorrect?
47:08
Oh my god? Maybe? But hell, no one's gonna tell me who
47:10
I can and can't work with. That was so good. Jesus. They
47:17
have those like exceptional shirts and when they're doing that montage him like trying to
47:23
be a good dude, and he like beats one of them in whatever they're
47:27
playing, like football or volleyball. It's like exceptional, my ass. There's
47:36
a couple of montage. Yeah. Sure. Then the other one I had
47:42
was the do you want to go out to dinner and maybe catch up on
47:45
old times? Didn't we just do that? And that's awkward silence? After
47:49
working Camerond has a delivery of that line is perfect. Yea, even better
47:54
because she's messing with him, but just like it's just so like innocent but
47:58
slightly like just but didn't you just do that Oh my heart. Oh yeah,
48:04
I guess we did. You're right. Um, there's a bunch of
48:09
others obviously, but oh for sure. And we've said a few the beans
48:14
above the franc he was masturbating. We got a bleeder. Those are all
48:17
amazing one that Ted said, So he's like, I think I still want
48:22
to look her up. And Pat's like, who roller pig? Are you
48:25
nuts? As if you said she was a real spark plug. Pat says,
48:30
no, I said, butt plug. She's heinous, so dumb,
48:38
but it killed me. M my favorite guy in here, Chris Elliott says,
48:45
are you crazy? That's like going out there with a loaded gun.
48:49
Of course, that's why you're nervous. Oh my dear friend, please said
48:52
please, look, after you've had sex with a girl and you're lying in
48:54
bed with her, are you nervous? No, you're not. Why he's
48:59
like, because I'm tired. He's like, wrong, because you ain't got
49:01
the baby batter on the brain anymore. I never heard it called baby batter,
49:09
and I found that very funny. And then it led to the hair
49:15
gel scene. Um, and then last one I have is what about Brett
49:20
fav Rurets. Yeah, that's buddy, what do you got bugs? How
49:30
the hell did you get the beans? Above? The franc is just one
49:34
of my favorite lines of all time. I love it. I know we
49:37
mentioned it already, but you know, um, let's see a fatty who
49:43
likes beer and golf. Geez, Mary, where are you gonna find a
49:45
gem like that? Sarah love that? Cameron Diaz. You know, I
49:53
don't think we have enough meats on sticks and like, honestly, I've never
49:59
been more attracted to any woman in my life. Then they have not been
50:01
to the Minnesota State Fair. That's all I have to say is true.
50:06
They're missing out for sure. Um oh, let's see. Oh when Chris
50:14
Elliott, who we love uh when he is uh is like revealed and then
50:21
Ted's like, but you're married, you have a wife and beautiful kids,
50:24
Ted, please, if you love him so much, be my guest,
50:29
which I think is extra hilarious because his wife is like the like she's just
50:34
always like doing it, like makes her go make cookies, and Ben still
50:40
are just like, no, I'm good, like I don't need any would
50:44
you springs out cigars and beer? And then yeah, it's just really funny
50:49
that he's like watching wife like the nicest like partner that you could ask for
50:52
her. And then he's like so sick of it. And when he's watching
50:55
Cops and and she's going down on him. Yes, that's right, and
51:01
they see we didn't even talk about that scene him getting caught at the rest.
51:07
Are Harlan Williams at all such a ridiculous role? Funny, that was
51:14
a very funny scene that was like his like head twitch when he says talks
51:19
about the six minute abs. Yes, dude, that's all just like crazy
51:24
not processing, stepping in my office. Why because you're fired? He's just
51:30
crazy. Yeah, it's great. And that whole bit was also set up
51:35
by like one thing, one line of saying, well, you know,
51:37
rest stops are just stood right like hook up ground for the gays or whatever
51:43
they're saying. Yeah, just you know, like okay, I guess we're
51:45
going with that, all right? Sounds good. Yeah. I was just
51:49
trying to go to the bathroom too, me too, Like it's like twenty
51:52
people they just come out of the grass like sound so great, so great?
51:59
Oh, let's see. I also, I guess I do love Chris
52:02
Elliot because I have another line of his when He's like, hey, Brett,
52:06
what are the chances I get you could give this little autograph on this
52:08
pump here something for the wife and kids. Maybe. Then Mary's like really,
52:13
and he's like, what, oh, shut up, you horrible,
52:19
horrible line reading. It's really good on he loves her shoes, which is
52:24
silly, and we he did. He did have another funny one when um
52:30
it's revealed that Ted had the zipper incident and he's and and uh dom like
52:37
mentions and he's like, I never told you that. He's like, well,
52:40
christ, Ted, I was only four towns away. Yeah, it's
52:45
pretty funny. Four And I know we we don't, you know, we've
52:52
we've spoke how we feel about the man. But when he's like, what
52:57
the hell is Brett Farve doing here? And he's like, I'm in town
53:00
play the dolphins, dumb ass, It's just look such a stupid funny line.
53:04
I like that a lot. He was instantly so mad, he was.
53:10
I think that was all the ones I have. Nice, Well,
53:14
why don't we move to bugs boohoo moment. Oh wow, strong men also
53:20
cry strong man. Also, I think we have another zero on our hands
53:25
here, and I feel like there's been quite a few of those recently.
53:30
I'm gonna go with zero. Great, great, Okay, I'm gonna I'm
53:37
gonna go with one. Okay. It's just at the very end when she
53:40
says I'm a Niners fan and they kiss. Yeah, that dude, get
53:45
me. That's nice. It's a nice moment. By the way, I
53:52
also want to point out that if she is from Minnesota and then moved to
53:55
Rhode Island and then moved to Florida, why is she Nineers fan? Where's
53:59
that coming from? Where was that coming from? I mean, yeah,
54:00
you went from Montana to Young you know, Jerry Rice the whole time.
54:07
But I feel you set well with her talking about Montana and then subsequently talking
54:12
about Young thirteen years later, which I thought was a nice touch. Yeah,
54:15
but very random giving her characters backstory. Agreed and given my obvious biases,
54:21
Yes, I also agreed. I feel good about that as well.
54:24
Yeah, I love that. So was that? It was? Was there
54:28
more than one? Now? That was it? Yeah? Right, You're
54:35
so tricky. It was just that one. I liked the end. It
54:39
was nice. I think another reason why that doesn't get me is because you
54:44
get you get the reveal that dude that had the She kept giving that dude
54:49
the apple who was like on the dock. He ends up having sex with
54:52
her roommate, Magda or whoever it was. Yeah, yeah, and she
54:58
was hilarious in this too. By the way, I don't think um,
55:01
but he's just like I was moaning you to get to Mary and the shoot
55:07
after my girl right there too. Yeah, that was really funny. That's
55:13
a good call, good call for sure. Nice. Just one, just
55:17
the one, just the one, just the one. Nice. Uh,
55:21
let's go in and do a little movie trivia. What do you guys say?
55:23
I'm for it? Yeah, we already said that. They didn't.
55:28
They didn't mean to drop him on the stretcher. They had to cut the
55:31
shot to make sure he was okay, But then everyone thought it was funny,
55:35
so they left it in, which I think is fun Oh they oh.
55:39
According to Bobby Fairly, the scene where Ted accidentally gets his scrot him
55:45
stuck in his pants fly was inspired by a real incident when their sister was
55:49
listening to some records with some eighth grade students in the basement of their house.
55:52
One of the kids went up to the bathroom and he zipped himself up.
55:57
He was in there for a long time. My dad was a doctor,
56:00
actually had to go in and say, hey, kid, are you
56:01
all right? His parents never told him the story until years later because they
56:07
wanted to save the kid the embarrassment, and Fairly says when they told us,
56:10
we were laughing so hard. We're like, oh my god, we
56:14
have to work this into a movie. So totally like that kid, Yeah,
56:21
tough day. I hope he didn't get the frank above the means.
56:22
The dialogue between Mary and Ted about how there aren't enough meats on sticks was
56:29
originally written for an episode of Seinfeld that never aired, which Fairly brothers liked
56:34
it and bought it for the use in this movie. Makes a lot of
56:37
sense. That's something serious Seinfeld banter right, for sure. I was going
56:39
to say, like that whole conversation sounds ad lived like it just it's so
56:44
out of left field. I was just like wondering, they just made this
56:46
up? Yeah, what is the deal? What is the deal with meats
56:51
on sticks? Matt Dylan and Cameron Diaz were dating in real life during filming,
56:55
so that's fun. That makes more sense. Why in the the gag
57:00
reel he just blatantly grabs her breasts. Yeah. I was like, that
57:06
is very forward for easy buddy. Um. We said this already, but
57:14
Lee Evans is actually English. Um. But what we didn't say was a
57:19
film critic said that his accent was quite possibly the worst fake British accent in
57:24
a movie ever. And that's why we don't go by critic ratings. Yes,
57:34
oh so funny, so so funny. Let's see uh blah blah blah.
57:39
Almost all the crew members who are at the uh, the the rest
57:45
stop. You know, all the people in the field are crew members.
57:47
Crew members. God, sure, that's kind of fun. It was silly.
57:52
H Let's see, Rob, you'll like this. Chris Elliot had to
57:55
share a trailer with the dog that played Puffy Tiler. I think, in
58:01
Rob's opinion, puppy had to share a trailer with Chris Elliot. Exactly good
58:07
call. The Fairly said that Harlan Williams was impossible to direct, and then
58:14
said, whatever, you're right, He's going to do it his own way,
58:16
which I think is pretty funny and it works. So whatever. So
58:21
the Jeffrey Tambor thing, Uh, there was an entire subplot involving Healey as
58:25
his uh he was Healey's friend that was cut from the original release and it's
58:30
in the extended cut. Basically, he starts out as a policeman who's been
58:36
sober for nineteen months, and after being reacquainted with Heale, he turns back
58:40
to drugs and booze and uh eventually just like spirals and is eaten by his
58:46
pet pathon. So Jesus. Yeah, there's a whole subplot about it,
58:52
and I was like, I don't remember any of this part. I can
58:57
see why if you had to cut something. Yeah, absolutely it was.
59:00
There was a he had a funny line too, though, when they when
59:02
Healy first gets in his car and his dogs in the back and he's like
59:06
does he bite and Jeffrey Tamborg goes a little a little, yeah, a
59:09
little. He also said that he looked wicked. Pissa. I was like,
59:14
who is this guy? Really funny? Un Rob, you might have
59:19
had this one, so sorry if I'm stealing it, but uh. The
59:22
football star Steve Young was originally supposed to play the part of Mary's secret love
59:27
Um, but he's a practicing Mormon and he declined due to the nature of
59:30
the movie, which seems fair. I just learned that information right this second.
59:36
Yeah, I didn't know he was more of that. Oh yeah,
59:38
uh is it his grandfather great grandfather was Brigham Young, Like he's from the
59:45
whoa what? Really? Yeah? Yeah? And I even knew he went
59:51
to BYU, but didn't ever think of that. Yeah he is, that's
59:58
wild. Yeah cool. Yeah. I remember reading he was descended from Brigham
1:00:01
Young, and I was like, oh damn, okay, yeah, all
1:00:05
right, all right, um. But yeah, Also, it would have
1:00:07
been less believable if her like dream quarterback was her ex and she still chose
1:00:13
Ben Stiller. Yeah. I think it had to be a quarterback of a
1:00:15
team that she didn't support. It kind of makes act. Would the ending
1:00:19
line be? Right? You know? That is such a good ending line.
1:00:22
They really salvaged it, they did. Um. Oh, I thought
1:00:27
this was funny. On The Tonight Show with Jane Leno and ninety it's just
1:00:31
ninety two, but that must have been when it started. Anyway. The
1:00:34
Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Cameron Diaz admitted to being the dead body inside
1:00:38
the bag carried by the hitchhiker. So by Harland Williams, she's the dead
1:00:44
body there I guess right for that or how that was. I don't show
1:00:51
the body. It doesn't make any difference. You could just put anything in
1:00:53
there. It didn't have to be a person at all. Nope, but
1:00:58
interesting commitment. But I don't know. Uh. And robbiell like this.
1:01:01
Woogie's gross facial wartz and shoe fetish were ideas of Chris Elliott, who is
1:01:07
a genius and a god amongst men. We can all agree. Were they
1:01:10
real wars? I don't think so. I don't think so. The one
1:01:19
eyeball that looked so painful and awful that he really really gross. Yeah,
1:01:25
but that was all I had. Did you have any trivia about a I
1:01:28
did. I had a bunch of stuff for like people up for roles and
1:01:30
stuff. Um. The studio was initially reluctant to allow Ben Stiller, the
1:01:36
Fairly brothers first choice, to star, so the brothers decided upon a then
1:01:39
unknown Owen Wilson instead. When the studio was even more reluctant to let Wilson
1:01:45
star, they agreed to allow the Fairlies to cast Stillers. Ben Stiller wasn't
1:01:51
like leading movies at this point, so this really Yeah, that's interesting?
1:01:55
Yeah? Um, after the financial losses suffered from Kingpin, which is a
1:02:01
hilarious movie but didn't do well. Yeah, the Fairly brothers thought that their
1:02:06
film, uh, that that film would be their last, so they decided
1:02:09
to go all out and deliver the most hysterically black comedy that could dream up.
1:02:13
When this film became a box office smash hit, Fairly's careers were safe
1:02:16
to continue. It's pretty cool. Yeah, I didn't know that was such
1:02:22
a money loss. I didn't know that either. Yeah, I didn't know
1:02:28
that. But Dumb and Dummer. You know, they came out with Dumb
1:02:30
and Dummer. I can't I mean, and that one had to have made
1:02:35
all the money. Yeah, for sure, you got it right. You
1:02:37
know that was actually Comic Studio didn't pay them a lot to make that.
1:02:42
I can't imagine, right. So Yeah, by the way, I only
1:02:45
saw Kingdom for the first time like last year. Really. Oh, it's
1:02:50
fun right time. I like that movie. Um, I saw that Chris
1:02:54
Farley was considered for the part of Warren. Ridiculous. It would have been
1:03:01
very ridiculous, it seems. I'm scared for what that would Yeah, I
1:03:06
think that would have been way more over the top. Yeah, sure.
1:03:09
I saw that Cameron Diaz was always the number one choice to play Mary.
1:03:13
The fair Fairly Brothers thought that she was the perfect woman. And I saw
1:03:17
Bill Murray was originally considered for Pat Healy, but the Fairly thought he was
1:03:22
too old for the part. Yeah, Hanks Area, Cuba Gooding Junior,
1:03:28
and Vince Vaughan were also considered. All interesting. Yeah, Vince Vaughn would
1:03:34
have been interesting for sure. Yeah, I think it would have would have
1:03:37
worked. Cuba Gooding would have been a weird choice. I'm not sure if
1:03:38
I can see that. It would have been kind of interesting to see how
1:03:42
that played out. I can't seem character he's just so charming. Yeah,
1:03:46
that would have been that would have changed his career a lot. Yeah,
1:03:52
for sure. I saw that Jim Carrey was considered for the role of Ted.
1:03:58
Oh wow, that which is interesting. That had been kind of fun.
1:04:02
And I also saw that John Stewart auditioned to play Ted. Oh fun.
1:04:10
Yeah, because that was it for me. I honestly think that that
1:04:13
the character of Ted could be played by like a lot of people. I
1:04:16
don't think it would have affected for sure. Yeah, agreed, Jim Carrey
1:04:19
almost like too funny because it's such a straight character. Otherwise he would have
1:04:25
been very funny for like the Frank and Bean scene. I think yeah,
1:04:29
but like basically the whole second half of the movie, Like I don't know,
1:04:31
maybe not. I mean there's I guess there's enough physical acting situations that
1:04:35
he's put through cold. Yeah, that would have been a ridiculous scene for
1:04:41
sure. That would have been absolutely picturing, like ace Ventura struggling with the
1:04:45
dog on the floor, like absolutely full you know, physical comedy. That
1:04:48
would have been pretty funny. Yes, for sure, that's interesting. Nice.
1:04:53
Yeah, that was all I had though, Neil, did you have
1:04:56
any of you came across or anything? I do not nice, don't worry.
1:05:00
Uh yeah, what about Judgment A? Do we think sequel? Man?
1:05:06
I don't know, probably not at this point. It's been twenty five
1:05:10
years. But they did just do a dumb dumber sequel, So who knows.
1:05:15
There's that, but um, I don't think they will. The biggest
1:05:17
being, uh, Cameron Diaz seems to have quit from acting. Yeah,
1:05:24
so she just kind of stopped, hasn't She said, like she's just kind
1:05:28
of sick of Hollywood. Was going to tell her that she you know,
1:05:30
needs to age differently than what she is because she's a woman. So she
1:05:34
was like, I'm out basically. Yeah. Yeah, and I mean I
1:05:38
think she's doing other very successful things for her. That's great. Yeah,
1:05:43
she was just done. I think Annie was her last movie maybe maybe,
1:05:46
which I never saw, But that's going on like ten years ago. Now
1:05:50
she's been she's been out of the game for a minute, which is a
1:05:55
bummer for us, but good for her. Man, Yeah, that's the
1:05:57
right thing. Good for her. Yeah, that's great. I can't blame
1:06:00
her. But yeah, probably not a sequel then, probably not. Probably.
1:06:03
I also don't know storyline wise what you would do with a sequel for
1:06:09
this. Yeah, like a short of introducing an entire newcast. I don't
1:06:14
really know what you I mean. There was a pretty gary Yeah, we
1:06:18
make it like a story of a Bent version. Yeah, yep, we
1:06:24
can do that. Sure, I like it. All right, it's all
1:06:29
I got. Well, I appreciated that. That was very nice whole idea.
1:06:33
Do you guys want to play game? Oh yeah, always always enjoy
1:06:40
losing these games, buddy. Well, I decided to make a plot tub
1:06:45
time machine. So I'm just gonna save the name I'm gonna describe a plot,
1:06:51
and then you're gonna ring in with your name and tell me what that
1:06:55
movie is. Yeah, it's pretty pretty straightforward. Um, and all of
1:07:00
these do have something in common. All ten films of something in common.
1:07:04
When you note it is just ring ring in with your name and you can
1:07:09
answer it anytime. Are we good? We are good? Number one.
1:07:17
When Tim Lake is twenty one, his father tells him a secret. The
1:07:20
men and their family can travel through time. Although he can't change history,
1:07:25
Tim resolves to improve his life by getting a girlfriend. He meets Mary,
1:07:29
falls in love, and finally wins. Yes, bugs, is it about
1:07:32
time? It is about time? You guess that correct name through me?
1:07:38
Yeah, man, Neil, you overseen about time? I have not.
1:07:43
But can I guess at the theme? Yes? Is it movies with characters
1:07:46
named Mary? That's a very good guess. It is not that very good
1:07:50
guess. Main characters named Harry. It's not that characters with the name Mary.
1:07:59
Maybe bukes? Can you am I cutting out cans? Are you having
1:08:06
a stroke? Is Mary keep going keeping? Is it movies with the word
1:08:24
about in the title? Neil has a point. Oh, look, that's
1:08:28
exactly what let's go. That's gonna make these easier. I will say that,
1:08:34
Um, the last five are tough, so let's let's get going.
1:08:42
There's no go through your head and think of all the movies. I'm with
1:08:47
you. It's gonna be tough. So now we know that we got it
1:08:51
out of the way. You guys are both on board. Things are good.
1:08:54
Let's go to number two, about a comedy drama about a man named
1:08:59
Will, a rich, child free and irresponsible Londoner and his thirties who,
1:09:03
in search of an available woman, invents an imaginary son and starts attending single
1:09:10
parent meetings. Bugs about a Boy about a boy n the Nick hornby novels
1:09:18
who I'm a big fan of. Um, yeah, and I think that
1:09:26
kid ended up. You know, he's Nicholas Holt, who's grown up and
1:09:30
really things. Yeah yeah, Um, all right, let's go to number
1:09:35
three. Cat is beautiful, smart, and quite abrasive most of her fellow
1:09:41
teens, meaning that she doesn't attract many boys. The Unfortunate ten Things I
1:09:45
hate about you Way to go, Neil impresses that is one of Bugs's faves.
1:09:56
So I didn't think that was going to happen that way. I'm impressed.
1:09:59
I guess it's a classic. Quickly nice agreed based on the Taming of
1:10:03
the Shrew. Indeed, agreed. You know we're gonna love the terminus what's
1:10:09
thrown around most often? Yes, Oh, I love it. I love
1:10:15
it. Let's go to number four. A quiet X insurance actuary is unhappily
1:10:20
married to Helen and brooding over the forthcoming wedding of his daughter Jeanie to Randall
1:10:26
Hurtzel. When Helen suddenly dies and he finds love letters to her from his
1:10:30
best friend, he's inspired to try. Yes, the greatest hot tub time
1:10:34
a hot tub scene in all time. This is a movie called about Schmidt.
1:10:39
That is correct. Bugs has brought up about Schmidt and that hot tub
1:10:45
scene so many times on this podcast. I was really excited to have about
1:10:50
Schmidt in the game just for that. Oh man, good. I think
1:10:57
I could have told you the rest of that plot, but I got it.
1:11:00
I remember it all right. Let's go to number five. Before going
1:11:08
on vacation, a self involved psychiatrist has the misfortune of taking on a new
1:11:12
patient, Bob Wiley, an example of needing it. Yeah, what about
1:11:16
Bob? That's correct? Such a great one, and now it gets hard.
1:11:23
You guys, I hope you enjoyed those easy five ones. Getting much
1:11:28
stupper? Where are we after five bugs? I've got four and Neil has
1:11:31
two? Everybody okay, all right? Well, fingers crossed for you guys.
1:11:38
So he was number six. Encouraged by his fiance, a man and
1:11:43
his father spend the weekend with her wealthy and exceedingly eccentric family. The gathering
1:11:47
soon develops into a culture clash, allowing father and son to discover the true
1:11:51
meaning of family. That is the plot synopsis. It was released this year,
1:11:59
starring Robert Nero and Sebastian Meniscalco. This year. This year. Oh
1:12:05
actually, I saw a preview for this. Yep, five four, three
1:12:13
boys about two or something something that was not it? Neil, do you
1:12:16
have a guess? This was a movie called about my father? Um?
1:12:23
Yep, I told you this was tough. Let's go to number seven.
1:12:29
Hero in her groom to be Claudio team up with Claudio's commanding officer, Don
1:12:33
Pedro the week before their wedding to hatch a matchmaking scheme. Their targets are
1:12:39
sharp wooted Duo, Benedict and Beatrice, a tough task, indeed, considering
1:12:44
their corresponding distaste for love and each other. Meanwhile, meddling Don John plots
1:12:49
to ruin the wedding. This was released in nineteen ninety three. It's based
1:12:55
on a Shakespearean farce starring Kenneth Bruna, Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, Keanu
1:13:00
Reeves, Kate beck and Sale, Michael Keaton and more. Wow. Five
1:13:09
four it is a Shakespearean forest, by the way, I think I wrote
1:13:14
based on but it is a Shakespearean sounded Shakespearean it is. I don't know.
1:13:20
Five think about four three two one, Neil much ado about nothing,
1:13:30
Neil on it nicely done at the buzzer. Damn. I had to watch
1:13:35
that in school for some reason. For some reason, it was I've never
1:13:41
seen that film version. I didn't. That's a huge cast though, dude,
1:13:44
it was crazy. I remember being like, that's a lot, and
1:13:46
Keanu was very like, was it like straight up Shakespeare though, like,
1:13:51
yeah, yeah, it was reinvented to be like a more recent thing.
1:13:56
You know that sometimes right? Yeah? I was in yeah shakespeare style.
1:14:00
And Kenneth Bruna directed it as well. Oh yeah, um cool, Let's
1:14:08
go to number eight. Backstage story revolving around aspiring actress Eve Harrington. Tattered
1:14:15

1:14:25
takes Eve under her wing, and it appears that Eve is a conniver that
1:14:30
uses Margo five four three two us. Hughs mad about you. That's a
1:14:43
great show, Paul Riser, and I just thought it could be a movie
1:14:47
title. It certainly could be, but it is not this one. This
1:14:53
is a classic that I've never seen called all about Eve. Oh, I've
1:15:00
heard of ye Wolf. So let's see in these last two pretty obscure.
1:15:06
