Did you have a favorite character? The 00:00:32.909 --> 00:00:37.170 one that was helping that boy. Oh, okay. So Hova. 00:00:37.810 --> 00:00:40.590 Hova. Yeah, she liked Hova because Hova was a 00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:43.390 nice lady who helped out Lucas, who was sometimes 00:00:43.390 --> 00:00:46.590 not a nice boy. No, but Hova was very sweet. 00:00:46.670 --> 00:00:50.390 She was very nice to him. Yeah. Did you have 00:00:50.390 --> 00:00:52.329 any moments that you thought were really scary? 00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:56.070 No. Wasps. The wasps. What did you think of the 00:00:56.070 --> 00:01:00.469 wasps? I thought they were pretty neat. You know, 00:01:00.469 --> 00:01:02.950 pretty intense. The weird color palette for them. 00:01:03.030 --> 00:01:06.290 Yeah. The black and purple. Very menacing. They 00:01:06.290 --> 00:01:08.069 did try to eat them. And what did they have on 00:01:08.069 --> 00:01:10.689 their on their butt end? Yeah. What was on their 00:01:10.689 --> 00:01:14.469 butts? A stinger. A stinger. Yeah, that's right. 00:01:15.109 --> 00:01:17.129 So let's see. Did you have any other characters 00:01:17.129 --> 00:01:19.189 that you really liked? There was one that was 00:01:19.189 --> 00:01:21.959 really pretty. Do you remember? Which one? The 00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.439 queen. You thought she was really good. She had 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.480 the big butterfly wings that kind of came out. 00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:32.840 Yeah. What did you think about Lucas, the boy? 00:01:33.780 --> 00:01:36.799 I didn't like Lucas. Yeah, why didn't you like 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.379 him? Was he a jerk? Yeah. Yeah, he was a little 00:01:40.379 --> 00:01:42.680 bit of a stinker, wasn't he? Yeah. But did he 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.400 learn to be good at some point? So I made friends 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.299 with Lucas. Yeah? Yeah. Was it because Hova and 00:01:49.299 --> 00:01:51.560 the other ants helped him and he learned? What 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.859 did you think about... What was his name that 00:01:53.859 --> 00:01:58.659 made friends? Well, it was Hova and Lugax or 00:01:58.659 --> 00:02:00.379 something like that. Yeah, something like that. 00:02:00.500 --> 00:02:02.640 And Zok was the one that you didn't really like. 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:04.819 That's Nicolas Cage's character. Yeah, the wizard. 00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.579 Yeah. He was kind of grumpy, wasn't he? Yeah. 00:02:07.739 --> 00:02:09.879 Yeah, he was a grumpy guy. He was pretty grumpy. 00:02:10.060 --> 00:02:13.560 He was kind of, but then they were friends. They 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:14.740 did become friends, you're right, when they were 00:02:14.740 --> 00:02:16.800 up on that mushroom. Yeah, both of them grew 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.080 and they... They learned from each other. Yeah. 00:02:19.259 --> 00:02:20.979 Yeah, that's very good. Learned to be accepting. 00:02:22.270 --> 00:02:24.669 What was one of your favorite parts from the 00:02:24.669 --> 00:02:31.169 movie? A giant frog that was eating... Lucas. 00:02:31.490 --> 00:02:34.110 Lucas. Yeah. Did you like when the frog came 00:02:34.110 --> 00:02:36.789 up out of the water? And you saw just its eyeballs 00:02:36.789 --> 00:02:41.930 go... It was pretty cool when they were in the 00:02:41.930 --> 00:02:44.810 frog's stomach, wasn't it? I did like when... 00:02:44.810 --> 00:02:47.729 Wait, what was his name? Are you talking about 00:02:47.729 --> 00:02:50.259 the guy in red? Yeah, you liked this part. So 00:02:50.259 --> 00:02:53.860 Stan Beals, the bad guy, the exterminator. What 00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:57.240 did you like about that part? When he got stuck, 00:02:57.819 --> 00:03:03.060 I mean, got stung from the wasp. Yeah, where 00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:06.680 did he get stung? On the butt. He did get stung 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:11.080 on the butt. That was pretty good. Hey, speaking 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:15.740 of butt stuff, did you like it when they were 00:03:15.740 --> 00:03:20.960 eating the bug poop? do you remember when lucas 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.379 turned green yeah when they were eating that 00:03:24.379 --> 00:03:27.439 meal and then he got sick because he realized 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.219 it was caterpillar poop yeah it was bug poop 00:03:30.219 --> 00:03:32.099 i'm pretty high that part wasn't as impactful 00:03:32.099 --> 00:03:34.919 as the butt stinger no i mean butt stinger is 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.710 pretty good i really liked butt stinger Cora, 00:03:37.770 --> 00:03:40.069 do you have other movies that you like?

That's a 00:04:20.370 --> 00:04:29.930 total hit for sure. Very good. Yeah. All right. 00:04:29.949 --> 00:04:31.310 Do you have anything else that you want to say 00:04:31.310 --> 00:04:37.290 to our very important listeners? Hey, Cora. Thanks 00:04:37.290 --> 00:04:46.670 so much for being on our podcast. Oh, God. We 00:04:46.670 --> 00:05:06.310 have a guest this week. We do not. We have a 00:05:06.310 --> 00:05:09.449 LaBuzzy, though. Yeah. And it gets a microphone. 00:05:10.610 --> 00:05:13.990 It has lots of things to say. All of them are 00:05:13.990 --> 00:05:18.470 racist. Yeah, exactly. Hopefully. Gotta give 00:05:18.470 --> 00:05:22.170 me a break. Yeah, someone's gotta shoulder that 00:05:22.170 --> 00:05:29.110 cross. Yeah. So, Monday in the office, my cubicle 00:05:29.110 --> 00:05:32.370 mate, Carrie, made me legit cackle. And I was 00:05:32.370 --> 00:05:34.790 glad that the office was mostly our coworker 00:05:34.790 --> 00:05:37.310 Alyssa's last day before, well, last day in the 00:05:37.310 --> 00:05:41.209 office because she's about to pop. And they were 00:05:41.209 --> 00:05:43.370 talking about ways to like induce labor. And 00:05:43.370 --> 00:05:45.050 Carrie's like, you should get like a bouncy ball 00:05:45.050 --> 00:05:48.850 for your desk. Alyssa was like, I'm not trying 00:05:48.850 --> 00:05:51.649 to do that here. I'm not trying to like induce 00:05:51.649 --> 00:05:54.230 here. And Carrie's like, why not? We need new 00:05:54.230 --> 00:05:58.860 carpet. And I lost it. I mean, that is actually 00:05:58.860 --> 00:06:00.860 pretty good. That would be so gross, though. 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.920 Imagine how long you'd have to look at that stain 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.980 before they fixed it. Oh, yeah. And they'd be 00:06:05.980 --> 00:06:08.079 gone, so it would just be right there at an empty 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:09.779 desk. No, when I still lived in Seattle and came 00:06:09.779 --> 00:06:13.980 to Portland, one of the first times I brought, 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.500 when I first had Ben, I brought him down with 00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:20.720 me for one trip and had him at my cubicle. And 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.180 up to moving here, I would still find bits of 00:06:24.180 --> 00:06:29.060 kibble on the carpet. Oh, man. Yeah, people don't 00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:31.939 do like lots of real good deep cleaning or fixing 00:06:31.939 --> 00:06:34.620 of things for the most part. Like we ended up 00:06:34.620 --> 00:06:37.160 Barrett and Cora were born in the same room at 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:40.500 the same hospital. And I can confirm this because 00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:42.939 I remember like being delirious when Cora was 00:06:42.939 --> 00:06:45.980 being born and staring at this weird like damage 00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:48.759 on the wall. And it was definitely still there 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.220 when Barrett was being born. Was it like a baby 00:06:51.220 --> 00:06:55.269 shaped Kool -Aid manhole? i wish it was just 00:06:55.269 --> 00:06:57.370 blasting out like i'm out of here might be the 00:06:57.370 --> 00:07:01.769 wildest c -section like kid just burst out but 00:07:01.769 --> 00:07:06.110 leaves a baby -shaped hole in your mom oh i guess 00:07:06.110 --> 00:07:07.449 it doesn't have to be your mom it doesn't have 00:07:07.449 --> 00:07:09.649 to be my mom yeah it wasn't my younger brother 00:07:09.649 --> 00:07:13.189 who did that oh phil come on yeah get it together 00:07:13.189 --> 00:07:15.670 dude i know for real he just got engaged yeah 00:07:15.670 --> 00:07:19.550 good for him yeah about time to get remarried 00:07:21.189 --> 00:07:23.410 Who doesn't love a good remarriage? Yeah, right? 00:07:23.750 --> 00:07:25.670 Second time's the charm. That's what they say. 00:07:26.649 --> 00:07:28.730 You know what? I have a new rule. I used to say 00:07:28.730 --> 00:07:30.449 I'm not getting people gifts for their second 00:07:30.449 --> 00:07:32.050 weddings. From now on, I'm not getting people 00:07:32.050 --> 00:07:34.129 gifts for their first weddings. Like, we know 00:07:34.129 --> 00:07:36.410 this is the practice, Ron. So obviously we're 00:07:36.410 --> 00:07:39.589 talking about the ant bully. Yeah. I mean, I 00:07:39.589 --> 00:07:42.170 always kind of think about anamorphs. I hate 00:07:42.170 --> 00:07:44.470 your shaved head. I hate it so much. It's weird. 00:07:44.990 --> 00:07:46.689 I've gotten a little bit used to it, but still, 00:07:46.750 --> 00:07:48.449 like, I'll jump onto a Zoom call or something 00:07:48.449 --> 00:07:51.829 and be like, what? It's a rounder than I imagined 00:07:51.829 --> 00:07:54.509 it would be. I used to do this like once a year. 00:07:54.649 --> 00:07:56.949 It was just like clean slate it to see what I 00:07:56.949 --> 00:08:00.170 would get back. It looks. Like you joined a cult. 00:08:00.350 --> 00:08:02.449 It does. And it kind of feels like I did. You 00:08:02.449 --> 00:08:05.490 need like like diaphanous flowing white rose. 00:08:05.629 --> 00:08:09.230 Oh, yeah, that would be cool. And release my 00:08:09.230 --> 00:08:13.509 folk album. Yeah, that'd be cool. Show everyone 00:08:13.509 --> 00:08:16.089 my penis. That's how it goes. Nobody will laugh. 00:08:16.250 --> 00:08:19.449 So you do this to see how it'll grow back. So 00:08:19.449 --> 00:08:21.850 this is a test to see if you're starting to bald. 00:08:22.670 --> 00:08:25.750 Kind of. But also it comes back like blonde. 00:08:26.410 --> 00:08:29.930 That'd be cool. Nice. Yeah, I'm trying to think 00:08:29.930 --> 00:08:32.389 the last time I shaved my head and I was still 00:08:32.389 --> 00:08:35.210 probably in my 20s. I don't think I did it all 00:08:35.210 --> 00:08:38.090 through my 30s because I don't want to see how 00:08:38.090 --> 00:08:41.590 slowly it comes back. Especially after like my 00:08:41.590 --> 00:08:43.490 experiment with a beard again last month and 00:08:43.490 --> 00:08:45.389 seeing that it's pretty much almost all gray 00:08:45.389 --> 00:08:48.950 at this point. Yeah, I've gotten a lot more gray 00:08:48.950 --> 00:08:51.610 in my beard lately, which makes watching a movie 00:08:51.610 --> 00:08:54.950 for definitely children much harder to give a 00:08:54.950 --> 00:08:58.279 shit about. Yeah, it was pretty rough. My beard 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.759 still has the same amount of gray, but I am really 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.059 liking my kind of dirty ghost mustache right 00:09:05.059 --> 00:09:08.559 now. I like it. Yeah. Hey, Nick, check these 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:16.659 out. Holy shit. Nice dino slippers. Yeah.

I am wearing my favorite skirt. So, 00:09:26.789 --> 00:09:28.750 yes, this week we are talking about The Ant Bully 00:09:28.750 --> 00:09:35.309 starring Nicolas Cage as shocker. Yep. On this 00:09:35.309 --> 00:09:38.110 podcast, we talk about Nicolas Cage movies. Yeah. 00:09:38.190 --> 00:09:41.809 And now basically only the bad ones. Yeah. Or 00:09:41.809 --> 00:09:44.809 the surprisingly not as bad as we expected ones. 00:09:44.909 --> 00:09:48.230 Yeah. Like Trapped in Paradise. Yeah. Sure. We 00:09:48.230 --> 00:09:52.029 could talk about that again if you want. I will 00:09:52.029 --> 00:09:55.899 say this movie, I will say The Ant Bully. not 00:09:55.899 --> 00:10:00.100 as bad as i thought it would be um but still 00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:05.299 not good yeah the first review i found of this 00:10:05.299 --> 00:10:08.460 while like trying to find it on uh plex there 00:10:08.460 --> 00:10:11.419 was a rotten tomatoes review that just read dot 00:10:11.419 --> 00:10:16.200 dot dot unnecessary dot dot dot this was a weird 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.120 time when like like when did ants and a bug's 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.580 life come out those were earlier than those yeah 00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:25.990 so this was just like trying to catch the this 00:10:25.990 --> 00:10:28.629 tom hanks tales tom hanks was hot for the the 00:10:28.629 --> 00:10:31.289 ant bully book got the property you know rights 00:10:31.289 --> 00:10:35.470 and really wanted to make it and picked this 00:10:35.470 --> 00:10:38.889 company to make it which tom hanks correct wait 00:10:38.889 --> 00:10:42.470 who directed this uh director was john davis 00:10:42.470 --> 00:10:44.330 but tom hanks was like an executive producer 00:10:44.330 --> 00:10:46.590 he just thought it was cool and wanted to see 00:10:46.590 --> 00:10:49.210 it i mean i guess he had been reading it to fucking 00:10:49.210 --> 00:10:54.820 chet hanks What's the other one? We see how that 00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:56.960 turned out. Yeah, right. Yeah, Chad Hanks is 00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.960 fucking a baller. Yeah, he's the best.

Tom Hanks 00:11:09.750 --> 00:11:12.629 is just doing a lot of like wildly inappropriate 00:11:12.629 --> 00:11:17.210 voices and shit at home.

I feel like we've seen him do yet. 00:14:36.529 --> 00:14:39.909 I mean, everybody in this movie phoned in their 00:14:39.909 --> 00:14:42.509 voice, except for Paul Giamatti. Paul Giamatti 00:14:42.509 --> 00:14:45.870 put some work in. I think my favorite random 00:14:45.870 --> 00:14:49.549 actor from this was what was her name? Allison 00:14:49.549 --> 00:14:52.590 Mack, who was the one that was in Smallville, 00:14:52.649 --> 00:14:54.769 who then ended up like joining the sex cult. 00:14:54.789 --> 00:14:59.299 Yeah. Yeah. So she played the older sister. oh 00:14:59.299 --> 00:15:01.740 i recognize that name in the trailer uh lily 00:15:01.740 --> 00:15:05.960 tomlin was like oh the grandma i know it's a 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.299 weird like i'm always surprised like bad animated 00:15:09.299 --> 00:15:11.960 movies get good casts all the time but like you 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.100 see it and you're still just like really i yeah 00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:18.120 i think clearly tom hanks's name brought a bunch 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.860 of a -list actors into this a and b -list hi 00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:25.629 b i feel like This is such a weird thing with 00:15:25.629 --> 00:15:28.370 animated films because ultimately you just want 00:15:28.370 --> 00:15:31.809 a good voice actor, but studios won't put money 00:15:31.809 --> 00:15:33.350 behind anything if they don't think they'll get 00:15:33.350 --> 00:15:38.429 a return. So getting A -list actors in a role 00:15:38.429 --> 00:15:40.929 for a kid's movie, which kids aren't going to 00:15:40.929 --> 00:15:43.570 care about. It's like there was no reason to 00:15:43.570 --> 00:15:46.090 get Nicolas Cage for this movie. Yeah, exactly. 00:15:46.350 --> 00:15:48.509 No kid is going to care that it was Nick Cage. 00:15:49.230 --> 00:15:51.809 that's just the actors doing it because they 00:15:51.809 --> 00:15:55.549 want to or whatever i don't know but they cheap 00:15:55.549 --> 00:15:58.570 out on the animation to pay for the cast i feel 00:15:58.570 --> 00:16:00.809 and you know they they do it because it doesn't 00:16:00.809 --> 00:16:03.870 freaking matter like kids don't give a shit yeah 00:16:03.870 --> 00:16:06.669 they don't know good animation from bad animation 00:16:06.669 --> 00:16:10.149 that's true enough but like other movies that 00:16:10.149 --> 00:16:13.820 came out around that time like happy feet It's 00:16:13.820 --> 00:16:15.379 like these are movies that gave a shit about 00:16:15.379 --> 00:16:17.580 how they looked. And this movie just doesn't. 00:16:17.580 --> 00:16:19.340 It's like the same studio that made the Jimmy 00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:22.159 Neutron movie, which all the adults look like 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.100 they're from Jimmy Neutron. If anyone has ever 00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:27.220 watched that show, it is like horrible. I don't 00:16:27.220 --> 00:16:30.779 know. Weeble shaped humans. Yeah. Yeah. Big heads. 00:16:30.820 --> 00:16:35.159 Big heads. Weird features. Yeah. Gigantic asses. 00:16:36.899 --> 00:16:41.230 Fucking thick. This was Ricardo Montalban's last 00:16:41.230 --> 00:16:44.570 movie. Yeah. Way to go out on a real high note. 00:16:45.149 --> 00:16:47.490 I mean, you think about like, okay, so Raul Julia 00:16:47.490 --> 00:16:50.970 went out on Street Fighter, but like he was feasting 00:16:50.970 --> 00:16:54.129 in that movie. Yeah. Esteban, you know, it's 00:16:54.129 --> 00:16:57.009 like, you didn't give anything to this. Again, 00:16:57.149 --> 00:17:00.110 another one where it's like, who cares that he 00:17:00.110 --> 00:17:03.289 was in it? Well, Street Fighter also will endure 00:17:03.289 --> 00:17:05.569 as like a cult film.

That was funny. yeah yeah 00:22:47.509 --> 00:22:49.950 there were a couple things about this that like 00:22:49.950 --> 00:22:54.089 got me to actually chuckle like uh eating the 00:22:54.089 --> 00:22:57.049 ant poop or caterpillar poop the fact that his 00:22:57.049 --> 00:22:59.829 clothes didn't shrink with him so that like he 00:22:59.829 --> 00:23:03.329 just wakes up naked yeah we don't have to see 00:23:03.329 --> 00:23:05.430 it or anything but that was that was another 00:23:05.430 --> 00:23:07.990 thing that i was like yeah that tracks i want 00:23:07.990 --> 00:23:11.029 to say what really sold the bug poop scene was 00:23:11.029 --> 00:23:13.890 bruce campbell just being like yum Yeah, the 00:23:13.890 --> 00:23:16.609 hot and fresh. Oh, yeah. Get it while it's hot. 00:23:16.630 --> 00:23:20.890 It was a great line. And well, when they flew 00:23:20.890 --> 00:23:24.650 up Stan's pants. Quality. Yeah. Attacked his 00:23:24.650 --> 00:23:28.130 Johnson. Yeah. Another weirdly grim moment speaking. 00:23:28.210 --> 00:23:30.289 So you had like the bug sprayer, you know, they're 00:23:30.289 --> 00:23:32.190 killing everything. Another grim moment was when 00:23:32.190 --> 00:23:35.569 they were inside of the frog. So, yeah, Lucas 00:23:35.569 --> 00:23:37.450 gets eaten by a frog. There's a couple other 00:23:37.450 --> 00:23:40.099 bugs that are in there. This is when Nick Cage 00:23:40.099 --> 00:23:42.500 tells him to be, you know, to go fuck off, basically. 00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:44.900 And then so he gets eaten by the frog. Then Nick 00:23:44.900 --> 00:23:46.339 Cage decides that he's going to be a hero and 00:23:46.339 --> 00:23:48.240 he gets also eaten by the frog. But they're all 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:50.779 in there. And then there's a fly who's like, 00:23:50.900 --> 00:23:52.700 oh, good. My buddy is here. And he picks up a 00:23:52.700 --> 00:23:56.759 head and it's just a severed fucking head. Yeah. 00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:00.140 Like, whoa. Cora did not pick up on that particular 00:24:00.140 --> 00:24:02.440 moment. But I was like, that's pretty grisly. 00:24:02.539 --> 00:24:04.799 Yeah, there are some slightly dark moments in 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:07.519 this. So the way they beat Stan at the end when 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:09.519 he's like killing all the bugs is they use the 00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:12.000 same. They try to use the same serum on him that 00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:17.799 turned Lucas into an ant. It doesn't apparently 00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:21.779 work as well on adults because they just kind 00:24:21.779 --> 00:24:25.660 of turn Stan into a weird dwarf. Yeah, he had 00:24:25.660 --> 00:24:29.440 weird like chimpanzee proportions and like he 00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:33.500 was lumpy and a weird pinhead. Yeah, I you know, 00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:35.539 that could have just been because it was applied 00:24:35.539 --> 00:24:38.200 by a stinger. So maybe it wasn't a full dose 00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:41.200 or it didn't get into the ear canal either. Like 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:43.140 Lucas got it straight to the brain. But is that 00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:46.500 just him now? Is that just how he lives? Yeah, 00:24:46.579 --> 00:24:49.000 yeah. I think he's just a little horrible critter 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.200 now. Just like Paul Giamatti. Yeah, I'm kidding. 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:55.119 I love Paul Giamatti. That seems like a gross 00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:58.500 like overreaction to a guy just doing his job. 00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:03.799 Yeah, but he was a dick. So let's just turn him 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.160 into a weird munted mutant. Yeah, because he 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:10.400 was a dick. The lesson here, Sean, is don't be 00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:13.559 a dick. Too late. Don't be a dick to ants. Don't 00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:16.420 be a dick to children. There you go. But I hate 00:25:16.420 --> 00:25:19.480 ants and children. Some child wizard is going 00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:22.619 to turn you into a child. Oh, yeah. Take that. 00:25:23.059 --> 00:25:27.640 I would hate that so much. I would laugh if you 00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:31.720 were turned back into a child. full surly ass 00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:36.200 sean just as is but child mode yeah i would be 00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:38.000 able to get away with so much more shit though 00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:40.460 what would be the worst age to get shrunk to 00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:43.880 and what would be your optimal like child age 00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:48.059 okay well do your like functions your uh do your 00:25:48.059 --> 00:25:51.039 your your things still work yeah you're saying 00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:53.559 you're wait what are your faculties like well 00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:55.119 i don't know like your mental faculties are the 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.640 same yeah you know the things that i'm not currently 00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:02.059 using to express this question right uh yeah 00:26:02.059 --> 00:26:04.039 your mental faculties your mental faculties are 00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:07.619 in in line you just are shrunken to a body of 00:26:07.619 --> 00:26:12.019 a child okay so like hmm i think anything like 00:26:12.019 --> 00:26:14.779 infant would be terrible awful because you don't 00:26:14.779 --> 00:26:19.190 have like well are you would i still have like 00:26:19.190 --> 00:26:22.950 my musculature or do i have a stupid soft baby 00:26:22.950 --> 00:26:28.130 body soft baby body ew gross just a fucking weirdly 00:26:28.130 --> 00:26:31.950 buff baby yeah that'd be cool we've all seen 00:26:31.950 --> 00:26:35.289 little hercules come on man little buff boy little 00:26:35.289 --> 00:26:40.269 buff boys yeah got you troll boy yeah i mean 00:26:40.269 --> 00:26:44.309 infant would suck but like little rascals age 00:26:44.309 --> 00:26:47.220 what are they like six you know yeah kindergarten 00:26:47.220 --> 00:26:50.400 like if you could be like a real fucking rapscallion 00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:54.319 with a like adult brain knowing how to really 00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:56.960 fucking play the system yeah that'd be awesome 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.079 yeah but you would also have to be in like the 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.740 1900s oh so you could be a chimblee sweep oh 00:27:03.740 --> 00:27:06.319 yeah nice yeah you could do lots of crime then 00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:10.000 i forgot about chimblees yeah and just lower 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.000 me in there yeah i'll sweep your chimblee ma 00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:14.410 'am It's like, what are all these tiny child 00:27:14.410 --> 00:27:18.930 footprints for in our house?

Keep on with that little liver. 00:27:49.779 --> 00:27:51.700 Every movie I've ever seen where someone gets 00:27:51.700 --> 00:27:55.079 turned back into like a younger version of themselves. 00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:58.380 The first thing they do is hit the fucking hit 00:27:58.380 --> 00:28:03.000 the wet bar.

Welcome to the 21st 00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:34.160 century. Grandma's be wet. I don't know. Why 00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:38.839 do I talk? Jesus Christ. That's rough. I feel 00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:40.299 like we should make an attempt to talk about 00:28:40.299 --> 00:28:43.119 this movie, but I don't want to. I mean, we have 00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:44.839 made an attempt. I think we've actually done 00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:47.339 a decent job talking about this movie. I mean, 00:28:47.339 --> 00:28:49.160 there isn't a ton to say about it. It's like 00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:52.180 bad voice. Kids movies are very formulaic. There's 00:28:52.180 --> 00:28:54.599 not anything that's really deep. Like Lucas's 00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:57.220 path of growth is very rapid. You know, he's 00:28:57.220 --> 00:28:59.160 a total shit bag. And then by the end of it, 00:28:59.180 --> 00:29:01.500 he's learned a lesson. He's like, yay, friends 00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:04.240 and teamwork. I like how they totally give up 00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:06.880 on assigning him a role inside of the colony 00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:09.680 after he just sucks at like everything labor 00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:15.799 camp after he goes to fucking Ant Dachau non 00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.819 climbing loser. Well, and again, like the whole 00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:21.240 him being able to climb at the end is completely 00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:26.359 like. Ruined ruins this film in terms of an actual 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.359 arc, because. The reason he didn't complete the 00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:31.200 obstacle course in the beginning is because he 00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:33.000 gave up when all the other ants were trying to 00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.880 help him. That's true. Yeah. I'm thinking way 00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:40.119 too hard about this movie. So, okay. The fact 00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:43.319 that kids, it's a kid's movie, right? Like it's 00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:45.599 a kid's movie in general. I did not enjoy this 00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:48.880 movie, but Cora and I watched it yesterday and 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:51.420 Cora today was like, I want to watch Ant Bully 00:29:51.420 --> 00:29:54.809 again. I was like. I was like, no, I don't have 00:29:54.809 --> 00:29:58.869 it on my computer anymore. It's gone. Yeah, it's 00:29:58.869 --> 00:30:01.190 gone forever. The P word doesn't have it anymore. 00:30:01.369 --> 00:30:03.529 That's your child's favorite movie now. Yeah, 00:30:03.569 --> 00:30:07.289 I did that. That's my doing. So, I mean, I'm 00:30:07.289 --> 00:30:09.210 sure there are other like kids movies that we 00:30:09.210 --> 00:30:12.069 all could kind of like latch on to when we were 00:30:12.069 --> 00:30:14.130 younger. But I don't I don't remember what like 00:30:14.130 --> 00:30:17.109 my horrible kids movie was that my parents were 00:30:17.109 --> 00:30:21.390 like, fuck that movie. I do. And I watched it 00:30:21.390 --> 00:30:25.849 last night. what what is it i remember what my 00:30:25.849 --> 00:30:29.950 horrible kids movie was surf ninjas oh god yeah 00:30:29.950 --> 00:30:33.490 okay fucking uh rob schneider does white face 00:30:33.490 --> 00:30:36.390 schneider has really i mean he never was a good 00:30:36.390 --> 00:30:39.309 actor he was never all that funny but like he's 00:30:39.309 --> 00:30:42.109 turned into like a super mega douchebag too he's 00:30:42.109 --> 00:30:45.049 one of those guys there weren't children's hospitals 00:30:45.049 --> 00:30:46.990 when i was younger because kids weren't ever 00:30:46.990 --> 00:30:51.609 sick it's like fuck you dude uh i just remember 00:30:51.609 --> 00:30:54.829 when i was uh oh god this was maybe like three 00:30:54.829 --> 00:30:58.269 years ago or something i threw on demolition 00:30:58.269 --> 00:31:00.970 man and i was like oh yeah rob schneider's in 00:31:00.970 --> 00:31:03.109 this and then the next day i threw on judge dread 00:31:03.109 --> 00:31:05.589 and i was like oh fuck rob schneider's in this 00:31:05.589 --> 00:31:08.509 too yeah it was weird and then you put on the 00:31:08.509 --> 00:31:10.890 water boy and it was like whoa well that i mean 00:31:10.890 --> 00:31:13.690 everybody knows of course if it's a sandler there's 00:31:13.690 --> 00:31:19.349 a schneider yeah tale as old as time oh god do 00:31:19.349 --> 00:31:20.769 you remember uh when we used to run and we talked 00:31:20.769 --> 00:31:24.509 about the schneider cut oh yeah well god was 00:31:24.509 --> 00:31:28.150 it the animal like the animal hot chick like 00:31:28.150 --> 00:31:30.349 you take all the schneider movies and like fucking 00:31:30.349 --> 00:31:35.890 avengers them up this is a horrible idea i know 00:31:35.890 --> 00:31:38.210 he's probably on cameo we could probably get 00:31:38.210 --> 00:31:42.259 him to do it probably But I mean, that requires 00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:44.480 giving him money.

Never even consider that it was for 3D. 00:33:11.710 --> 00:33:14.589 Yeah. Like unless something's intentionally like 00:33:14.589 --> 00:33:17.509 whipping out towards the screen. I don't think 00:33:17.509 --> 00:33:20.470 about it as a 3D film. Like the axe going in. 00:33:20.589 --> 00:33:22.990 Yeah. Yeah. That sort of thing. Yeah. I mean, 00:33:22.990 --> 00:33:27.430 like Stan's balls flying back and forth. Right. 00:33:27.609 --> 00:33:30.950 Over the audience's heads. Can you imagine if 00:33:30.950 --> 00:33:35.400 somebody shot a porno for 3D and like. Before 00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:37.819 the whole VR craze and everything like that, 00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:43.400 just watching 3D porno in a 3D adult movie theater. 00:33:43.420 --> 00:33:45.680 I guarantee that this has happened. Oh, I'm sure. 00:33:45.900 --> 00:33:51.440 What film would they have picked? All right. 00:33:51.460 --> 00:33:54.880 The only other thing I can think of on this movie. 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:57.960 I wanted Grandma. So Grandma's a weird alien 00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:04.380 conspiracy atheist. Nailed it. Yeah, got it. 00:34:04.700 --> 00:34:07.660 First time, best time. I wanted more of that. 00:34:07.779 --> 00:34:09.780 I wanted to know more about what was going on 00:34:09.780 --> 00:34:13.760 there. I just like that airflow is the bane of 00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:15.980 aliens. Yeah, that was an interesting angle. 00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:18.260 Yeah, I mean, it's obviously just there to put 00:34:18.260 --> 00:34:21.199 the fans in the living room for the like floating 00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:24.119 pedal scene. But all right. So I just sent you 00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:28.219 a text of the bullies from the ant bully. Oh, 00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:31.179 these guys were terrifying. Who was your favorite? 00:34:31.659 --> 00:34:34.889 Who is your favorite bully? Who's repping you? 00:34:36.429 --> 00:34:39.849 Oh, you mean the kids that all get, like, made 00:34:39.849 --> 00:34:42.170 fun of? Yeah. So not the bullies, but the bullies. 00:34:42.190 --> 00:34:44.050 Yeah, I mean, they bully along with the main 00:34:44.050 --> 00:34:46.050 bully until he stops being the bully, and then 00:34:46.050 --> 00:34:49.150 they become cool again. Yeah. Let's see. Fucking 00:34:49.150 --> 00:34:52.090 helmet kid. I mean, beanie kid's pretty cool. 00:34:52.409 --> 00:34:55.090 Yeah, I pegged you as beanie kid. Oh, you pegged 00:34:55.090 --> 00:34:58.690 me? Yeah, I did. You picked helmet child? Yeah. 00:34:59.500 --> 00:35:02.739 I think a weird gangly tall girl. I'm not tall 00:35:02.739 --> 00:35:05.500 enough to be the girl. Yeah, that resonated with 00:35:05.500 --> 00:35:09.099 me. She looks like a used car salesman. Why is 00:35:09.099 --> 00:35:12.190 Lucas able to see shit? Without his glasses. 00:35:12.469 --> 00:35:15.929 I don't know, because his eyes shrunk. So here's 00:35:15.929 --> 00:35:18.309 another thing that fucking pissed me off. How 00:35:18.309 --> 00:35:21.610 weird is it that like when he was in like battle 00:35:21.610 --> 00:35:24.329 mode, he's got those goggles made out of like 00:35:24.329 --> 00:35:27.670 fly eyes. Yeah, right. And like nobody questions 00:35:27.670 --> 00:35:30.630 it or says, whoa, dude, you're wearing Steve's 00:35:30.630 --> 00:35:33.690 eyes for like protection. I knew that guy. He 00:35:33.690 --> 00:35:36.789 came to my potluck. Fucking not cool, man. I 00:35:36.789 --> 00:35:39.050 don't know. That was weird. That was weird. That 00:35:39.050 --> 00:35:41.280 is super fucking weird about this movie. This 00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:43.500 movie more than most made me mostly because I 00:35:43.500 --> 00:35:46.059 wasn't engaged at all. So I had time for just 00:35:46.059 --> 00:35:49.739 free roaming thoughts. Why is it that only bugs 00:35:49.739 --> 00:35:52.179 and it's fucking you're telling me it's why I 00:35:52.179 --> 00:35:54.219 went to art college. Why is it only that bugs 00:35:54.219 --> 00:35:56.780 and humans have the capability for language, 00:35:56.840 --> 00:35:59.599 but frogs are just fucking dumb frogs? Because 00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:02.639 frogs suck. Everyone hates frogs. Known fact. 00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:05.900 So I also like how he got the idea for hang gliding. 00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:07.900 There's a whole hang gliding scene in this movie 00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:10.659 for them to get across a shag carpet. using grandma's 00:36:10.659 --> 00:36:13.920 fans so you know they built that up um but he 00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:16.280 gets the idea from his video game about hang 00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:18.239 gliding frogs but in that video game the point 00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:21.360 is to smash the frogs yeah that game seems like 00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:24.559 it sucked shit too yeah oh but you know in the 00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:29.000 end he grows up to be big again um and then his 00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:32.980 bully um what was his police name honestly i 00:36:32.980 --> 00:36:36.840 don't remember yeah he does give a mean wedgie 00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:41.639 though yeah He got that clean break. He gets 00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:43.579 the bully's entourage to turn against the bully 00:36:43.579 --> 00:36:46.400 because the bully's like, you know, they'll do 00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:48.699 what I say. You know, I'll beat you all up. And 00:36:48.699 --> 00:36:50.239 then they're like, wait, there's more of us. 00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:54.780 We're like ants. Mm hmm. And then they. So let's 00:36:54.780 --> 00:36:57.920 do the classic ant move. Dog pile. Yeah. Yep. 00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:01.340 Tear him apart and eat him. And eat him. Yeah. 00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:03.900 Yeah. I wish they would have just. Get his sweet 00:37:03.900 --> 00:37:10.219 rocks. Yeah. You. Well, OK, so let's let's get 00:37:10.219 --> 00:37:13.280 it back on track. Sean, you've done a noble job. 00:37:15.780 --> 00:37:19.219 No, you've actually done a noble job trying to 00:37:19.219 --> 00:37:21.079 keep it on track in terms of this movie, but 00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:22.619 I don't think I've got anything else to say. 00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:24.960 I could really care less if we had talked about 00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:29.119 this movie, even for like an instant, like, or 00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:30.780 I guess I couldn't have cared less. I don't know. 00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:34.039 However, that thing, it's really a lame overall 00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:36.800 animated movie. It's a lame performance from 00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:40.940 Nick Cage. He gave us more as fucking Kronk or 00:37:40.940 --> 00:37:45.360 whatever in the Croods. Sure. Croods 2. I love 00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:47.840 Croods 2. Excuse me. Croods 2. Yeah, we don't 00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:50.599 know anything about Croods 1 yet. And in Spider 00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:52.340 -Verse, like he's playing a different role, but 00:37:52.340 --> 00:37:54.619 he's great as, you know, Spider -Noir. Yeah, 00:37:54.659 --> 00:37:58.739 he can do voice acting. I have thoughts about 00:37:58.739 --> 00:38:01.400 it. I like I think for Spider -Man Noir or for 00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:04.099 Into the Spider -Verse. I always felt like he 00:38:04.099 --> 00:38:05.780 always feels like he's too far away from the 00:38:05.780 --> 00:38:08.460 microphone or that he's actually speaking through 00:38:08.460 --> 00:38:11.260 a mask through like fabric. He probably was. 00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:14.619 Yeah. Like he's just dressed like it in the studio. 00:38:14.699 --> 00:38:18.260 I'm sure no one asked him to. That also seems 00:38:18.260 --> 00:38:21.800 accurate. But yeah. OK, so like where would you 00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:25.019 put his performance in this? You know, bad. Yeah, 00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:28.900 it was the. One of the better of the voice performances 00:38:28.900 --> 00:38:32.320 in this movie and this movie was full of terrible 00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:35.760 voice performances. Yeah, like nobody was really 00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:39.260 great except Paul Giamatti. It's just it's it's 00:38:39.260 --> 00:38:41.320 one of the few times I think we've ever just 00:38:41.320 --> 00:38:44.900 heard Nicolas Cage's voice. He really doesn't 00:38:44.900 --> 00:38:48.139 put anything into it. Yeah, it wasn't like the 00:38:48.139 --> 00:38:52.280 mole. Oh, yeah. Speckles. Yeah, speckles. It's 00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:53.719 not even that he's doing a voice. There's no 00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:57.679 like affectation. There's no. emotion it's just 00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:01.159 very monotone throughout and which i feel is 00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:04.980 hard for nicholas cage to do like his voice just 00:39:04.980 --> 00:39:09.920 increases at random intervals yeah he probably 00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:12.780 wasn't recording in studio with a bunch of people 00:39:12.780 --> 00:39:15.840 so like no chance when he's got nothing around 00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:21.000 him i can see him just not rising up to his normal 00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.539 level yeah did you watch the newer teenage mutant 00:39:23.539 --> 00:39:26.769 ninja turtles movie yeah uh because one of the 00:39:26.769 --> 00:39:28.070 things that i was reading about that is like 00:39:28.070 --> 00:39:30.730 they were very adamant about doing recordings 00:39:30.730 --> 00:39:32.969 in the studio with each other at the same time 00:39:32.969 --> 00:39:35.289 which i mean that's mostly recorded by like 12 00:39:35.289 --> 00:39:36.730 year olds or something yeah there's a bunch of 00:39:36.730 --> 00:39:38.610 kids but they had like a really good time and 00:39:38.610 --> 00:39:41.130 i think that that came across in that movie that 00:39:41.130 --> 00:39:43.030 they're like having fun and playing off of each 00:39:43.030 --> 00:39:44.650 other versus something like this which is like 00:39:44.650 --> 00:39:46.710 these are buckets you know it's just buckets 00:39:46.710 --> 00:39:51.250 of voices and it doesn't work I was really excited 00:39:51.250 --> 00:39:52.929 when I saw that there was going to be a trailer 00:39:52.929 --> 00:39:54.670 for a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles thing, 00:39:54.750 --> 00:39:56.909 but it's a short that went ahead of something 00:39:56.909 --> 00:40:00.469 else that I didn't want to say. Yeah, they're 00:40:00.469 --> 00:40:04.369 doing, what was it? They're doing like, they 00:40:04.369 --> 00:40:08.710 go to New Jersey.

Into the Unknown. 00:43:33.039 --> 00:43:41.599 Into the Unknown. Is this it? Yeah, you like 00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:44.340 this one. Can you sing it into the microphone? 00:43:45.909 --> 00:43:49.150 I don't know how to do that. You don't have to 00:43:49.150 --> 00:44:19.550 do the oh part. You're crushing it, though. I've 00:44:19.550 --> 00:44:23.849 got a voice, which is ringing in my ear. And 00:44:23.849 --> 00:44:29.530 if I hurt you, you don't. But I fear everyone. 00:44:29.570 --> 00:44:33.969 I never looked to see what it was. I'm sorry 00:44:33.969 --> 00:44:37.170 I stayed so careful about blocking out your calls. 00:44:37.690 --> 00:44:41.130 I've had my fair share. It's always something 00:44:41.130 --> 00:44:46.190 new. I don't know why I wish to follow you and 00:44:46.190 --> 00:45:07.219 be alone. Okay, that's perfect, honey. Thank 00:45:07.219 --> 00:45:12.380 you. Oh, you gotta save some for next time, right? 00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:14.860 Yeah, we're gonna do more later. This was great, 00:45:14.860 --> 00:45:16.699 though, honey. I'm sorry.
