WEBVTT 00:00:04.169 --> 00:00:05.570 You know what that sound means? It's another 00:00:05.570 --> 00:00:07.650 episode of the Game for a Movie podcast where 00:00:07.650 --> 00:00:09.970 we ask, are you game for a movie? My name is 00:00:09.970 --> 00:00:13.609 Mike. I'll be your host tonight. We have a special 00:00:13.609 --> 00:00:17.309 Father's Day episode, and just like me, Father's 00:00:17.309 --> 00:00:19.710 Day has to be late, of course, because I never 00:00:19.710 --> 00:00:21.609 get anything right on the holidays. I never get 00:00:21.609 --> 00:00:24.550 it done in time. So this one's only like a week 00:00:24.550 --> 00:00:26.550 late compared to my Mother's Day episode, which 00:00:26.550 --> 00:00:28.690 was three weeks late, I think, maybe even four 00:00:28.690 --> 00:00:35.210 weeks late. So at least I... Kind of put a hurry 00:00:35.210 --> 00:00:37.450 on this one, I'll say. I have a plan already 00:00:37.450 --> 00:00:40.549 for 4th of July, so hopefully I can get that 00:00:40.549 --> 00:00:43.409 done on time this time. We'll see about that, 00:00:43.429 --> 00:00:45.609 though, because, you know, time gets away from 00:00:45.609 --> 00:00:48.369 you and everything like that. Being that it is 00:00:48.369 --> 00:00:51.630 a Father's Day episode, we have a specific Father's 00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:55.670 -related movie. And, of course, we also have 00:00:55.670 --> 00:00:59.710 a beer. Today, we are drinking... the juice angler 00:00:59.710 --> 00:01:01.729 from one of my favorite breweries that i like 00:01:01.729 --> 00:01:04.870 to frequent it is untamed waters it is in fort 00:01:04.870 --> 00:01:08.829 mill south carolina i know we moved to north 00:01:08.829 --> 00:01:10.790 carolina i always joke because we're right on 00:01:10.790 --> 00:01:13.269 the border that i do my drinking in south carolina 00:01:13.269 --> 00:01:15.769 and i've been to untamed waters i don't know 00:01:15.769 --> 00:01:18.530 probably a thousand times at this point but it 00:01:18.530 --> 00:01:20.329 is one of my favorite places to go to it's a 00:01:20.329 --> 00:01:23.260 chill atmosphere good beer And I usually end 00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:25.500 up leaving, making a friend or two. So that's 00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:27.459 what's nice about Untamed Waters right there 00:01:27.459 --> 00:01:31.120 in Fort Mill, South Carolina. It is also the 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.519 place where I came up with the idea to do a Mother's 00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.620 Day and Father's Day edition this year. So that 00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:40.120 should also take credit for why you have this 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.140 episode now in front of you. Speaking of that 00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:45.500 Father's Day movie, let's talk about it. It is 00:01:45.500 --> 00:01:47.680 the movie Father Figures which technically came 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.540 out in 2017. It's marked as a 2018 movie but 00:01:50.540 --> 00:01:53.079 technically it came out in 2017. I know that's 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:54.760 a little weird because it did come out December 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.870 22nd. The one thing that Father Figures definitely 00:01:58.870 --> 00:02:02.129 has going for it, it has a phenomenal cast. We've 00:02:02.129 --> 00:02:04.109 got Ed Helms and Owen Wilson playing the two 00:02:04.109 --> 00:02:06.370 leads. Their mother is played by Glenn Close. 00:02:06.629 --> 00:02:09.389 We've got Terry Bradshaw, of all people, with 00:02:09.389 --> 00:02:12.250 Ving Rhames, J .K. Simmons, Cat Williams, June 00:02:12.250 --> 00:02:15.430 Squibb, Katie Aselton, Ali Wong, and Christopher 00:02:15.430 --> 00:02:18.310 Walken, to close it out. I don't know about you, 00:02:18.370 --> 00:02:20.409 but on paper, this movie should have been a lot 00:02:20.409 --> 00:02:23.169 better than it was. And I will also give it, 00:02:23.210 --> 00:02:25.669 it's not one of the worst movies I've seen. It's 00:02:25.669 --> 00:02:28.169 not great. I don't recommend it to anybody. But 00:02:28.169 --> 00:02:32.550 I've seen a lot worse movies than this one. This 00:02:32.550 --> 00:02:35.110 was the directorial debut of Lawrence Schur. 00:02:35.289 --> 00:02:38.289 You may recognize that name not because of the 00:02:38.289 --> 00:02:40.729 actual movies he's directed, but because he's 00:02:40.729 --> 00:02:42.969 been the head cinematographer on things like 00:02:42.969 --> 00:02:45.849 Joker, Godzilla, King of the Monsters, Garden 00:02:45.849 --> 00:02:48.069 State, The Hangover. The list goes on and on. 00:02:48.110 --> 00:02:52.090 He actually has 50 great credits worth of director 00:02:52.090 --> 00:02:55.979 of photography or cinematographer. this dude 00:02:55.979 --> 00:03:01.159 is a hot commodity in hollywood so don't get 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.840 me wrong i'm going to shit on this movie but 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.840 this is his directorial debut and he is known 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:12.099 for a lot more a lot of other things father figures 00:03:12.099 --> 00:03:15.919 was written by justin malan uh he has had some 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.300 credits as well he's the head writer Screenplay 00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:22.680 by for Office Christmas Party. Father figures, 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.939 obviously. Yes Day. And, of course, one of the 00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:27.479 favorite ones I like to talk about on the show, 00:03:27.620 --> 00:03:30.360 Clifford the Big Red Dog. He also is writing 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.879 the earlier script for Bad Teacher 2. Yes, that 00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:35.879 may be a thing that actually happens in the future. 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.699 Bad Teacher 2 might be coming. When Malin finished 00:03:40.699 --> 00:03:43.259 the script, it was sold less than two days after 00:03:43.259 --> 00:03:45.979 being pitched. That is an impressive 36 hours. 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.539 And it was originally titled Bastards, but about 00:03:49.539 --> 00:03:52.680 three months before release of the movie, they 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.620 decided to change it to Father Figures instead. 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.659 Probably because it had a nice December Christmas 00:03:57.659 --> 00:04:01.759 window that, I don't know, maybe your kids don't 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.879 want to see that there's a movie called Bastards 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:07.560 coming out. This movie was nominated for one 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.340 award, and that nomination was for Trashiest 00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:13.699 Trailer by the Golden Trailer Awards. They didn't 00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:16.370 win, but... they were nominated for Trassiest 00:04:16.370 --> 00:04:19.709 Trailer. So, you know, there's that. A quick 00:04:19.709 --> 00:04:22.250 synopsis before I jump into the main details 00:04:22.250 --> 00:04:24.189 of this movie. Upon learning that their mother 00:04:24.189 --> 00:04:26.389 has been lying to them for years about their 00:04:26.389 --> 00:04:29.029 allegedly deceased father, fraternal twin brothers 00:04:29.029 --> 00:04:31.810 hit the road to search for him. Our twin brothers 00:04:31.810 --> 00:04:34.029 are played by Owen Wilson and Ed Helms, and the 00:04:34.029 --> 00:04:35.810 mother is Glenn Close. I think I've said that 00:04:35.810 --> 00:04:38.189 before, but just so you have an idea who we're 00:04:38.189 --> 00:04:41.259 dealing with to start it off. So without further 00:04:41.259 --> 00:04:44.579 ado, let's get into the movie. Of course, we 00:04:44.579 --> 00:04:47.939 start with a prostate joke, and that is the kind 00:04:47.939 --> 00:04:50.019 of humor that we're really being set up for. 00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:52.560 Ed Helms is a doctor, and more specifically, 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:54.560 the kind of doctor that sticks his finger up 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.579 people's butts for a living. He's not a great 00:04:57.579 --> 00:04:59.899 father, and he's possibly an alcoholic. We've 00:04:59.899 --> 00:05:02.439 learned this in the first two minutes of this 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.180 movie. His character's name is Peter, and we 00:05:05.180 --> 00:05:07.660 learn that he needs to loosen up. He needs to... 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.379 Calm down and not be so uptight. You know, the 00:05:11.379 --> 00:05:14.379 typical Ed Helms stereotype that he goes for 00:05:14.379 --> 00:05:18.079 in these movies. His brother Owen Wilson, named 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.160 Kyle in this movie, got his image on a bottle 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.379 of barbecue sauce that is selling everywhere. 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.339 So, basically, he has a lot of money, but he's 00:05:28.339 --> 00:05:31.220 like this surfer, laid -back kind of guy. You 00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:33.459 know, the odd couple that we have to start off 00:05:33.459 --> 00:05:35.779 this movie. Their mother is getting married, 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.579 which is bringing them both together. Peter brings 00:05:38.579 --> 00:05:41.079 his son to the wedding and Kyle doesn't remember 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.279 Peter's kid because it's been like four years. 00:05:43.980 --> 00:05:47.399 So, you know, Kyle, that laid back surfer type 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.060 kind of focused on himself, doesn't remember 00:05:50.060 --> 00:05:52.879 his brother's kid because he just doesn't care. 00:05:53.019 --> 00:05:56.000 It's not about him, that kind of thing. Obviously, 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.819 at this point, we can already guess that Kyle 00:05:58.819 --> 00:06:00.459 is going to teach Peter kind of the way back 00:06:00.459 --> 00:06:03.459 and Peter is going to teach Kyle something about 00:06:03.459 --> 00:06:07.029 caring about others or something like that. After 00:06:07.029 --> 00:06:09.250 the wedding, Peter is relaxing and he is watching 00:06:09.250 --> 00:06:12.949 Law & Order SVU. And he recognizes that their 00:06:12.949 --> 00:06:15.790 father might still be alive because of this episode. 00:06:16.069 --> 00:06:19.370 And he just has this feeling that their father 00:06:19.370 --> 00:06:23.509 is alive somehow. Glenn Close, the mother that 00:06:23.509 --> 00:06:26.069 is getting married this weekend, her name is 00:06:26.069 --> 00:06:29.069 Helen in this movie. She reveals that she lied 00:06:29.069 --> 00:06:31.069 about their father and this is the crux of the 00:06:31.069 --> 00:06:32.889 movie. They are going to go out and they're going 00:06:32.889 --> 00:06:36.980 to find their dad. Couple lines that I wrote 00:06:36.980 --> 00:06:39.279 down because of this. It was the 70s. You have 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.560 to understand the priority was smoking weed and 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.819 fucking. And then Peter goes, I stare at assholes 00:06:44.819 --> 00:06:47.839 all day long because of dad's colon cancer, which 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.220 the dad might never have had. So we've learned 00:06:51.220 --> 00:06:53.480 that Peter's kind of modeled his whole life off 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.439 of his dad's potential colon cancer. And his 00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.779 assistant is Donna from Parks and Rec. She's 00:06:59.779 --> 00:07:02.629 kind of convincing him that. It's okay, like, 00:07:02.670 --> 00:07:04.750 you still are successful, that kind of stuff, 00:07:04.910 --> 00:07:08.170 and also kind of pushing along that maybe they 00:07:08.170 --> 00:07:11.209 should go and find their dad. After a while of 00:07:11.209 --> 00:07:13.550 trying to get her to admit who the dad might 00:07:13.550 --> 00:07:16.189 be, because she doesn't even really know, it 00:07:16.189 --> 00:07:18.350 could be potentially multiple people, because 00:07:18.350 --> 00:07:20.870 again, the priority was smoking weed and fucking, 00:07:21.129 --> 00:07:24.610 Helen throws out the name Terry Bradshaw, and 00:07:24.610 --> 00:07:27.990 we learn that Peter loves Terry Bradshaw, like, 00:07:28.009 --> 00:07:31.540 it's an idol of his that Terry Bradshaw And especially 00:07:31.540 --> 00:07:35.399 that he might be his father. Peter is all but 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.279 gung ho now to go figure out how to find Terry 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.779 Bradshaw. So Peter's ready to take a road trip 00:07:41.779 --> 00:07:43.899 and he's going to go to Tampa because that is 00:07:43.899 --> 00:07:46.959 where Terry Bradshaw is. He's opening a car dealership 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.560 and he's doing like a meet and greet. So if they 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:52.019 get down to Tampa, they can meet up with him 00:07:52.019 --> 00:07:55.100 and tell him that he's their dad. And I say them 00:07:55.100 --> 00:07:57.459 because originally it was just going to be Peter. 00:07:57.949 --> 00:07:59.829 But Kyle's just kind of like, the universe is 00:07:59.829 --> 00:08:01.930 telling me to go on this trip. I want to go. 00:08:02.009 --> 00:08:04.149 The universe is telling me we have this mission 00:08:04.149 --> 00:08:12.509 now. So Kyle convinces Peter that they can go 00:08:12.509 --> 00:08:16.490 together. They get the first ticket they can 00:08:16.490 --> 00:08:19.529 to fly to Tampa. And by the way, they spend an 00:08:19.529 --> 00:08:22.149 exorbitant amount of money, which is no problem 00:08:22.149 --> 00:08:24.769 because Kyle's obviously the face of this. best 00:08:24.769 --> 00:08:27.149 -selling barbecue sauce kind of thing so it's 00:08:27.149 --> 00:08:29.949 not a big deal but it's just if I were to sit 00:08:29.949 --> 00:08:32.470 there and do the math of all the traveling they 00:08:32.470 --> 00:08:36.549 do in this like two -week period I got to imagine 00:08:36.549 --> 00:08:41.870 it's somewhere in the like low 20 ,000s at least 00:08:41.870 --> 00:08:46.730 at least so they get on the plane and the flight 00:08:46.730 --> 00:08:50.070 attendant starts flirting with Peter and it's 00:08:50.070 --> 00:08:52.289 like very obvious flirting and that kind of stuff 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.779 And Peter just kind of biffs it. He just kind 00:08:54.779 --> 00:08:58.580 of shoots it down and messes it up. And Kyle's 00:08:58.580 --> 00:09:00.580 like, what the hell, man? Like she was obviously 00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:03.159 flirting with you. You're divorced. It's fine. 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.720 You can totally have sex with this woman. Peter 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:08.860 admits that he's only had sex with one person 00:09:08.860 --> 00:09:11.539 and he's still kind of like not over her exactly, 00:09:11.700 --> 00:09:14.440 especially because it is the mother of her children 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:19.360 or child, I guess I should say. So now the mission 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.000 has changed a little bit. The top mission is 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.399 meeting dad. Second mission is getting Pete laid. 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.899 And the third mission is stone crabs. This is 00:09:26.899 --> 00:09:30.799 what Kyle's priorities are. They go to this Terry 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.980 Bradshaw dealership that just opened up. They 00:09:32.980 --> 00:09:34.879 get to the front of the line. Kyle is confused 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.580 as a special fan. Again, this is the kind of 00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:39.120 humor that we're dealing with in this movie. 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:44.100 And they ask Terry if he remembers Helen Reynolds. 00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:47.940 And basically Terry just like is euphoric talking 00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:52.480 about like, oh. Helen Reynolds yeah she's so 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.320 sexual she's so this that going through all of 00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:56.940 the sexual features and both of them are just 00:09:56.940 --> 00:09:58.379 sitting there kind of like cringing and everything 00:09:58.379 --> 00:10:03.120 like that and they reveal to him that Helen is 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:08.600 their mom and that he may be their father and 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.320 Terry at first is kind of like no no no I couldn't 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.960 be no no no then he starts thinking about it 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.139 and goes Well, maybe. And now he's happy. He 00:10:18.139 --> 00:10:21.399 is elated and realizes they might be his sons. 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:24.399 And so I say movie over, right? This is great 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:27.759 because Terry is happy. He takes a loving to 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:32.039 Peter right off the bat. Kyle, not so much. He's 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:33.840 feeling a little lesser, but it's okay because 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:38.659 they've found their dad. So he takes them to 00:10:38.659 --> 00:10:40.559 his house and says, like, you guys got to come 00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:42.299 over for dinner. My wife will cook, everything 00:10:42.299 --> 00:10:47.029 like that. And so Terry and Peter drive like 00:10:47.029 --> 00:10:49.990 this super fast car that Peter gets to drive. 00:10:50.309 --> 00:10:54.409 And basically Kyle is left to follow them in 00:10:54.409 --> 00:10:58.529 like a shit box car that they just rented. Terry 00:10:58.529 --> 00:11:00.889 opens the door with Peter and walking in, talking 00:11:00.889 --> 00:11:03.509 to his wife and the wife's like asking the right 00:11:03.509 --> 00:11:06.029 questions about random people coming to the house, 00:11:06.110 --> 00:11:09.070 like saying they're Terry Bradshaw's kids. I 00:11:09.070 --> 00:11:10.789 got to imagine some of these people are probably 00:11:10.789 --> 00:11:13.720 like in real life. Terry Bradshaw, you're my 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.700 dad. I could use some money, that kind of stuff. 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.080 And so like, she's just asking, she's just, are 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.159 you sure these are your kids? Are you sure they're 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.820 not coming to ask for money? And Terry goes, 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.399 Peter, do you like need some money or anything 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.559 like that? And he goes, oh no, no, no. I'm like 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.960 a famous doctor. I'm good. You know, that kind 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:36.179 of stuff. And Terry goes, he's a doctor. I told 00:11:36.179 --> 00:11:38.440 you, these are my kids. This is good people. 00:11:38.539 --> 00:11:42.590 We're good. So they're like passing the football 00:11:42.590 --> 00:11:44.629 back and forth, you know, doing the things that 00:11:44.629 --> 00:11:47.289 dad and son would do and everything like that. 00:11:47.690 --> 00:11:50.950 And Terry throws one to Kyle and all of a sudden 00:11:50.950 --> 00:11:53.090 out of nowhere, Ving Rhames, who was playing 00:11:53.090 --> 00:11:57.070 Rod Hamilton, tackles Kyle to the ground in the 00:11:57.070 --> 00:12:01.970 sand. Rod Hamilton is a famous linebacker that 00:12:01.970 --> 00:12:04.230 played with Terry is what the idea in this movie 00:12:04.230 --> 00:12:07.690 is. And he's moved in next door because he didn't 00:12:07.690 --> 00:12:12.059 want to leave Terry. budding bromance but really 00:12:12.059 --> 00:12:13.620 they're just they're good friends and everything 00:12:13.620 --> 00:12:16.879 like that after the catch and everything like 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:19.340 that they're all talking catching up and it comes 00:12:19.340 --> 00:12:22.740 out uh terry asks rod do you remember helen reynolds 00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:26.019 and he's oh helen reynolds oh we had we had this 00:12:26.019 --> 00:12:29.340 we had that we had this and terry goes yeah uh 00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:33.059 these are her boys and he goes all we did was 00:12:33.059 --> 00:12:39.320 cuddle word It just made me laugh because that 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:43.379 one was a good delivery by Ving Rhames. If you 00:12:43.379 --> 00:12:45.460 don't know, I'm actually a big Ving Rhames fan. 00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:48.860 I think he's funny as hell. He has great wit 00:12:48.860 --> 00:12:50.279 and everything like that. If you don't remember 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.840 the Piranha 3DD episode, Ving Rhames was probably 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:57.340 one of my favorite parts of that movie. I love 00:12:57.340 --> 00:13:01.159 Ving Rhames. That dude does no wrong. But then 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:04.340 Rod brings up, because he finds out the birthdays 00:13:04.340 --> 00:13:08.159 of the boys, he brings up... That that couldn't 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:11.879 have happened because Terry was in Australia 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.740 recording an album and Helen didn't have a passport. 00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:19.179 So she couldn't go with. So in the time of conception, 00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.899 that kind of thing and doing the math, there's 00:13:21.899 --> 00:13:25.100 no way Terry could be their father. And he's 00:13:25.100 --> 00:13:27.960 just like, oh, you're right. You're right. And 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.559 Terry's actually a little disappointed. And it's 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.080 kind of it's kind of a touching thing because 00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:35.120 Terry wanted to be fathers to these boys. Even 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.559 though he keeps calling Kyle the wrong name. 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.840 He keeps calling him Donald. But, you know, he 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.700 does, like, want to be in these boys' lives. 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.440 And it's kind of a nice moment when he's, like, 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.679 saying goodbye and everything like that. And 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:50.460 they realize now there's another guy that it 00:13:50.460 --> 00:13:53.379 might be. It's this guy, Roland. She was seeing 00:13:53.379 --> 00:13:56.860 this guy, Roland, sometimes. And I don't remember 00:13:56.860 --> 00:13:58.919 how they get the last name. But they get it somehow. 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:04.360 And they figure out where Roland lives. basically 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:06.460 kyle says it's the universe telling them things 00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:08.820 that this wasn't the stop but maybe this roland 00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:13.679 guy is roland is played by jk simmons we're going 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:15.600 to get to him in a little bit but just so you 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.639 know ahead of time that it's this jk simmons 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:21.580 is roland so the brothers are driving up to go 00:14:21.580 --> 00:14:28.139 to roland now and roland lives I want to say 00:14:28.139 --> 00:14:30.019 New York. I didn't write it down exactly, but 00:14:30.019 --> 00:14:31.940 I want to say somewhere in New York, like upstate 00:14:31.940 --> 00:14:33.840 New York. It's supposed to be a nicer area, that 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.659 kind of thing. And the only reason I say this 00:14:35.659 --> 00:14:37.759 is because they end up in Worcester, Massachusetts, 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:44.480 and it wasn't far out of their way is part of 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:47.340 what they bring up. This part of their journey 00:14:47.340 --> 00:14:50.759 involves a lot more driving. So they end up at 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:57.679 a stop off to go to the bathroom. And Kyle's 00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.600 in there. And then there's a guy obviously taking 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:02.740 a shit. And his son's in there with him. And 00:15:02.740 --> 00:15:06.980 his son crawls under and starts peeing on Kyle. 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:10.019 And basically, the dad's just kind of like, oh, 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:12.659 oh, you got to pee on him back. So he learns 00:15:12.659 --> 00:15:15.220 to stop it and everything like that. And so they 00:15:15.220 --> 00:15:17.299 start a pee war, essentially, where they're peeing 00:15:17.299 --> 00:15:20.460 on each other. And Kyle's phone goes off. And 00:15:20.460 --> 00:15:22.100 he's just like, hold on a second. Hold on. I'm 00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:28.970 peeing on a kid. I'm sorry, what? I'm peeing 00:15:28.970 --> 00:15:35.029 on a kid. Okay. The phone call is the guy who 00:15:35.029 --> 00:15:37.549 created the barbecue sauce. And basically he 00:15:37.549 --> 00:15:39.470 said they want to go a different direction than 00:15:39.470 --> 00:15:44.029 Kyle. So Kyle is no longer the face of the barbecue 00:15:44.029 --> 00:15:47.210 sauce brand. He doesn't reveal this to Peter 00:15:47.210 --> 00:15:49.909 because it's just gotta, you know, there's gotta 00:15:49.909 --> 00:15:51.629 be some drama in the movie that gets revealed 00:15:51.629 --> 00:15:53.509 later. You can't just tell them about your problems 00:15:53.509 --> 00:15:56.690 right off the bat. Plus he doesn't want to derail 00:15:56.690 --> 00:15:59.009 Peter because they're on this mission as loving 00:15:59.009 --> 00:16:02.730 brothers to figure out who their father is. So 00:16:02.730 --> 00:16:05.029 as they're driving down the street of where Roland 00:16:05.029 --> 00:16:07.970 supposedly lives, there's all these nice houses. 00:16:08.009 --> 00:16:10.110 And then finally they get to one that's a little 00:16:10.110 --> 00:16:13.529 like, it's not a bad house, but it's gotten a 00:16:13.529 --> 00:16:15.970 little decrepit. Like they have not been caring 00:16:15.970 --> 00:16:19.690 for it. And they're wondering if Roland actually 00:16:19.690 --> 00:16:22.629 lives here anymore. They knock on the door and 00:16:22.629 --> 00:16:24.370 they're like having a conversation waiting for 00:16:24.370 --> 00:16:26.730 Roland to answer the door. And all of a sudden, 00:16:26.730 --> 00:16:30.429 Roland appears holding a gun at Peter's head. 00:16:31.789 --> 00:16:33.769 He thinks that he's about to get robbed, that 00:16:33.769 --> 00:16:35.970 somebody thought, oh, this house looks like the 00:16:35.970 --> 00:16:38.149 winning ticket and we're going to get robbed 00:16:38.149 --> 00:16:40.389 and everything like that. And so like Peter's 00:16:40.389 --> 00:16:43.070 just like, ah, no, no, no, no, no. We we may 00:16:43.070 --> 00:16:44.889 be your sons. We may be your sons. And Roland's 00:16:44.889 --> 00:16:46.950 just like, what? You go, you remember Helen Reynolds? 00:16:47.009 --> 00:16:50.059 And he goes, oh, Helen. Yeah. Yeah, I remember 00:16:50.059 --> 00:16:52.879 her. Oh, my God. She's so sexual. She's so this. 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:54.679 You know, this is a common joke throughout the 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:57.980 whole thing and everything. And then reveals 00:16:57.980 --> 00:17:02.220 they may be your sons. So he just, like, lets 00:17:02.220 --> 00:17:03.919 them go. He's just like, oh, okay, come on in. 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.579 And he hands Peter the gun because, as he quotes, 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:10.259 I don't like holding it. And so Peter now has 00:17:10.259 --> 00:17:15.400 a gun that he just walks in with. so roland's 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:17.920 mother comes downstairs he lives with his mother 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.819 and she's freaking out because she sees peter 00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:21.779 with the gun and is going oh my god we're getting 00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:24.460 robbed roland and he freaks out and grabs another 00:17:24.460 --> 00:17:26.779 gun to which peter just like holds the gun up 00:17:26.779 --> 00:17:29.099 and is just like uh what no no you handed this 00:17:29.099 --> 00:17:31.059 to me no we might be your sons we might be your 00:17:31.059 --> 00:17:33.319 sons he goes oh yeah yeah that's right that's 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:38.630 right and puts the gun away and uh Roland's mother 00:17:38.630 --> 00:17:41.210 is played by June Squibb, who you've probably 00:17:41.210 --> 00:17:43.750 seen in something somewhere down the line. She 00:17:43.750 --> 00:17:45.410 has so many credits, I'm not going to name them 00:17:45.410 --> 00:17:49.690 all. But she's basically, nowadays, she's basically 00:17:49.690 --> 00:17:54.269 the old lady in every movie you've seen, probably. 00:17:54.869 --> 00:17:59.309 And just this year alone, she's been in Don't 00:17:59.309 --> 00:18:01.549 Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, two episodes 00:18:01.549 --> 00:18:05.130 of Velma as an older woman. She was Thelma in 00:18:05.130 --> 00:18:07.730 the movie Thelma. and she was Nostalgia and Inside 00:18:07.730 --> 00:18:11.910 Out 2. She's also got three other movies or TV 00:18:11.910 --> 00:18:15.690 shows coming out that are upcoming, and she has 00:18:15.690 --> 00:18:18.690 98 other credits. So June Squibb you've definitely 00:18:18.690 --> 00:18:22.470 seen somewhere down the line. Amazing actress. 00:18:24.750 --> 00:18:27.329 She's a bit part in this one, I'll say. And so 00:18:27.329 --> 00:18:31.630 is J .K. Simmons, just so we're clear. Roland 00:18:31.630 --> 00:18:33.809 at first is convinced they can't be his sons, 00:18:33.990 --> 00:18:37.000 but he's basically... going along with their 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:39.019 stuff and everything like that and peter and 00:18:39.019 --> 00:18:40.920 kyle are insistent they're just like no you knew 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:43.880 helen reynolds like you were together at this 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:45.720 point in time there's a chance you might be our 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.980 father roland goes and sniffs both of them like 00:18:49.980 --> 00:18:57.980 gives them a big and then he walks away and freaks 00:18:57.980 --> 00:19:01.599 out in the other room because he's certain now 00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:04.039 they are his kids and he's just freaking out 00:19:05.549 --> 00:19:10.589 And so after he freaks out, his mother convinces 00:19:10.589 --> 00:19:12.670 him to go back out there and talk to them about 00:19:12.670 --> 00:19:15.170 their relationship and everything like that. 00:19:15.329 --> 00:19:18.089 So Roland takes them down to the basement where, 00:19:18.130 --> 00:19:20.230 of course, there are creepy mannequins everywhere. 00:19:20.849 --> 00:19:23.670 He makes them open a box and immediately Peter 00:19:23.670 --> 00:19:26.329 drops the box because it contains a rat. And 00:19:26.329 --> 00:19:29.269 Roland goes, sorry, that's the wrong box. The 00:19:29.269 --> 00:19:32.869 right box has pictures of Roland and Helen together, 00:19:33.049 --> 00:19:40.130 both very happy. And Peter says, you don't have 00:19:40.130 --> 00:19:43.190 to tell us how amazing a fuck she was. And Roland's 00:19:43.190 --> 00:19:44.730 just kind of looking at them and goes, she's 00:19:44.730 --> 00:19:51.009 the only woman I ever loved. And so they kind 00:19:51.009 --> 00:19:54.250 of feel for this guy because he actually cares 00:19:54.250 --> 00:19:56.049 about their mother and everything like that. 00:19:56.190 --> 00:19:59.529 And so even though he's a little strange, they're 00:19:59.529 --> 00:20:01.470 willing to go along with him and everything. 00:20:02.309 --> 00:20:06.660 Roland has a job that he is a repo man. He has 00:20:06.660 --> 00:20:09.759 to go get this car that wasn't paid for by this 00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:15.059 rich guy. And so he takes the boys with him to 00:20:15.059 --> 00:20:17.740 help him do this repo job, just more so to get 00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:21.720 to know them, that kind of stuff. As they get 00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:24.380 there, the husband and wife who own the car pull 00:20:24.380 --> 00:20:28.059 in, and they're obviously trying to repo the 00:20:28.059 --> 00:20:33.259 very nice car. He says that he has the repo papers 00:20:33.259 --> 00:20:35.930 in his car. That the boys just don't let him 00:20:35.930 --> 00:20:38.589 leave in the car. He'll go get the papers, show 00:20:38.589 --> 00:20:40.509 it to the guy, and then they'll be on their way. 00:20:41.049 --> 00:20:43.509 So the boys are holding the car and basically 00:20:43.509 --> 00:20:45.970 watching to make sure that nobody does anything 00:20:45.970 --> 00:20:50.869 stupid. Roland is really running away. He is 00:20:50.869 --> 00:20:53.910 like, there's no way that he's their father and 00:20:53.910 --> 00:20:59.009 he just doesn't care. And on the passenger seat 00:20:59.009 --> 00:21:01.190 just happens to be the box of the pictures. And 00:21:01.190 --> 00:21:04.769 he looks at them and he feels bad. And he comes 00:21:04.769 --> 00:21:09.269 back to help the boys. The owner comes out with 00:21:09.269 --> 00:21:12.589 a gun and starts firing at them. So the boys 00:21:12.589 --> 00:21:15.609 get in the car and they basically are like trying 00:21:15.609 --> 00:21:17.470 to get the hell out of Dodge. They pull away 00:21:17.470 --> 00:21:20.529 and Roland is walking back. And of course they 00:21:20.529 --> 00:21:25.470 run over Roland. And he loses a lot of blood, 00:21:25.589 --> 00:21:29.369 like a lot of blood. And he also is getting arrested. 00:21:29.730 --> 00:21:33.019 So they're in the hospital like. checking with 00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:36.400 him, making sure he's okay. And basically we're 00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:38.400 like calling him out. Like, why did you let this 00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:40.359 happen? And he's like, I don't know. I just, 00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:42.539 I, I didn't want to be a dad. I don't want to 00:21:42.539 --> 00:21:45.359 be your dad, everything like that. And the nurse 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:49.779 goes, he isn't your dad. He, we have his blood 00:21:49.779 --> 00:21:52.440 type. There's no way that you two are the blood 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:57.839 types you are. And he has this blood type. There's 00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:02.130 just no way. And also he admits. That there's 00:22:02.130 --> 00:22:04.970 no way they could have been his. Because he did 00:22:04.970 --> 00:22:07.809 his first stint in prison around the time that 00:22:07.809 --> 00:22:11.730 they would have been conceived. But he does have 00:22:11.730 --> 00:22:16.589 an idea of who their father might have been. 00:22:17.230 --> 00:22:18.950 But he's not going to tell them unless they pay 00:22:18.950 --> 00:22:23.369 him $1 ,000. Peter walks away. He's like, no, 00:22:23.430 --> 00:22:25.349 I'm not doing this anymore. We're done. This 00:22:25.349 --> 00:22:27.329 is over. This mission's over. Everything like 00:22:27.329 --> 00:22:29.309 that. Kyle, of course, sticks around and pays 00:22:29.309 --> 00:22:35.019 Roland $680. For the name Sparkly P. So Sparkly 00:22:35.019 --> 00:22:39.900 P. Could be their father. They're basically. 00:22:40.660 --> 00:22:44.680 Ready to call it quits. Essentially. Even though 00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:46.640 they've got the name Sparkly P. Now they don't 00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:48.900 know. Where to go from there. Because how can 00:22:48.900 --> 00:22:52.200 you figure out from Sparkly P. And Peter is fuck 00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:54.140 the universe. This entire time it's been telling 00:22:54.140 --> 00:22:57.500 us to shut down. Operation Hoosier Daddy. Which 00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:59.019 I thought was a funny line. Because now it's 00:22:59.019 --> 00:23:02.740 Operation Hoosier Daddy. So now they're going 00:23:02.740 --> 00:23:05.740 to drive back to Ohio. Apparently this movie 00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:08.299 took place in Ohio or they're from Ohio or something 00:23:08.299 --> 00:23:09.900 like that. I didn't know that, but apparently 00:23:09.900 --> 00:23:12.819 that's where they are. So they're about to drive 00:23:12.819 --> 00:23:17.940 home to Ohio and they make eye contact with a 00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:20.480 hitchhiker. This hitchhiker is Cat Williams. 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:26.299 Cat Williams wants to go to Worcester, Massachusetts 00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:29.529 because that's where his family is. basically 00:23:29.529 --> 00:23:31.470 they come to a conclusion they can get him to 00:23:31.470 --> 00:23:35.730 the train station but peter of course is worried 00:23:35.730 --> 00:23:38.109 that he's a serial killer and so they're having 00:23:38.109 --> 00:23:39.930 this whole conversation and like cat williams 00:23:39.930 --> 00:23:44.130 is like i'm not a serial killer and like okay 00:23:44.130 --> 00:23:48.390 that you're emphasizing the wrong word here and 00:23:48.390 --> 00:23:50.809 this whole scene is kind of like awkward that 00:23:50.809 --> 00:23:53.170 kind of stuff because he could just say repeatedly 00:23:53.170 --> 00:23:56.029 i'm not a killer or something like that and so 00:23:56.029 --> 00:24:01.259 they grab like The jumper cables they have in 00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:03.460 the car and they tie him up so he can't kill 00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:06.160 them, but they can get him to the train station. 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:09.619 Cat Williams doing his best. Cat Williams is 00:24:09.619 --> 00:24:11.660 listening to their problems. And basically it 00:24:11.660 --> 00:24:14.799 started this whole fight. Peter is upset because 00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:16.779 Kyle is perfect. He's never worked a day in his 00:24:16.779 --> 00:24:18.779 life. He's always gotten everything handed to 00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:20.539 him. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Kyle's just 00:24:20.539 --> 00:24:22.920 like, you've chosen your life. You've made your 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:28.829 own bad decisions. It gets so bad that they stop 00:24:28.829 --> 00:24:30.630 the car and they get into a little slap fight. 00:24:31.710 --> 00:24:35.130 And Cat Williams realizes they've parked on a 00:24:35.130 --> 00:24:40.089 2 -2 train track to have this fight. And so a 00:24:40.089 --> 00:24:42.609 train's coming. And they're so focused on their 00:24:42.609 --> 00:24:44.170 slap fight, they're not getting out and everything 00:24:44.170 --> 00:24:47.470 like that. Finally, Cat Williams is like, guys, 00:24:47.470 --> 00:24:49.589 guys, guys, there's a train coming. 2 -2 train 00:24:49.589 --> 00:24:53.930 coming. 2 -2 train coming. And Peter gets out. 00:24:54.029 --> 00:24:57.680 He's able to get Cat Williams out. Kyle is struggling 00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:03.180 with his seatbelt, and the car gets hit by the 00:25:03.180 --> 00:25:07.039 train. It gets absolutely just eviscerated, and 00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:09.059 we don't know what happened to Kyle. We think 00:25:09.059 --> 00:25:12.480 he may have died at this point. Obviously, Kyle's 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:16.119 going to be okay, right? Obviously. My thing 00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:19.039 was I'm more shocked by that Cat Williams, the 00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:21.940 hitchhiker, didn't die. I thought for sure that 00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:24.039 was going to be the end of his bit. He was going 00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:26.589 to be stuck in there, and it was like, oh. sucks 00:25:26.589 --> 00:25:31.329 sorry but kyle survives and they all embrace 00:25:31.329 --> 00:25:34.470 and they have like everything's forgiven and 00:25:34.470 --> 00:25:36.829 so they're just like oh this is great but then 00:25:36.829 --> 00:25:40.069 kyle winds back and punches peter to feel better 00:25:40.069 --> 00:25:43.309 he's like oh you could have had me die all right 00:25:43.309 --> 00:25:48.210 cool so now they're sitting there waiting on 00:25:48.210 --> 00:25:50.069 the cops to talk about everything and everything 00:25:50.069 --> 00:25:52.769 like that the cops are interviewing hitchhiker 00:25:52.769 --> 00:25:54.670 cat williams while he's still tied up by the 00:25:54.670 --> 00:25:57.410 way he's still wrapped up and everything like 00:25:57.410 --> 00:26:05.849 that and kyle tells peter that he's not the barbecue 00:26:05.849 --> 00:26:07.809 sponsor anymore he's not the face of the barbecue 00:26:07.809 --> 00:26:11.309 company he also thinks that he might bail on 00:26:11.309 --> 00:26:13.589 his girlfriend and child because his girlfriend's 00:26:13.589 --> 00:26:16.529 pregnant now and they because they might be better 00:26:16.529 --> 00:26:19.829 off without him because he is a slacker he is 00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:23.299 poor now he doesn't have any money he doesn't 00:26:23.299 --> 00:26:24.920 have anything and he thinks he's going to be 00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:29.079 a bad dad and Kyle kind of uh Peter kind of talks 00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:31.900 to him and just like no no you're going to be 00:26:31.900 --> 00:26:33.420 great you're going to do great and everything 00:26:33.420 --> 00:26:35.519 like that talks him out of it and everything 00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:41.640 and Peter kind of apologizes for operation who's 00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:43.940 your daddy he just wanted to figure out what 00:26:43.940 --> 00:26:45.980 his dad and everything like that and he didn't 00:26:45.980 --> 00:26:51.940 like that Kyle didn't really care and Kyle says 00:26:51.940 --> 00:26:54.359 to him, I wasn't that curious about Dad because, 00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:58.299 like, I had you, Peter. Like, I always had you 00:26:58.299 --> 00:27:01.759 and everything like that. And so it's a nice 00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:03.779 touching moment that then gets ruined by a joke 00:27:03.779 --> 00:27:07.359 that Peter doesn't actually wear glasses. He 00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:09.380 wears them because they fit his image, but he 00:27:09.380 --> 00:27:11.220 has, like, 20 -20 vision. He doesn't need them. 00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:15.099 Why was this a thing? Why did this need to happen? 00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:21.950 What? I don't get this. So the cops come to them 00:27:21.950 --> 00:27:23.930 and they're asking what happened and everything 00:27:23.930 --> 00:27:25.690 like that. And they're talking about how they're 00:27:25.690 --> 00:27:28.910 on Operation Hoosier Daddy. And it just so happens, 00:27:29.230 --> 00:27:31.869 Sparkly P is known by the cops investigating 00:27:31.869 --> 00:27:36.289 their car crash. Sparkly P is Patrick O 'Callaghan. 00:27:37.109 --> 00:27:39.789 Patrick O 'Callaghan is like this famous cop 00:27:39.789 --> 00:27:43.630 in Worcester, Mass. And the hitchhiker wanted 00:27:43.630 --> 00:27:46.589 to go to Worcester, Mass. And basically, they've 00:27:46.589 --> 00:27:49.029 all decided. This is the universe talking to 00:27:49.029 --> 00:27:53.049 them and everything like that. So they take the 00:27:53.049 --> 00:27:56.170 hitchhiker. They drive him home. They give him 00:27:56.170 --> 00:27:59.890 the jumper cables as like a memento. And basically 00:27:59.890 --> 00:28:01.589 his whole family is waiting for him. He's grateful 00:28:01.589 --> 00:28:04.009 for the ride and everything. And they go check 00:28:04.009 --> 00:28:07.569 into a hotel in Worcester, Mass. Awaiting the 00:28:07.569 --> 00:28:10.730 next day where they're going to find out if Sparkly 00:28:10.730 --> 00:28:13.109 P, Patrick O 'Callaghan, is their actual father. 00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:16.940 One of the bits on this is when they go to the 00:28:16.940 --> 00:28:18.940 hotel to check in, for whatever reason, the hotel 00:28:18.940 --> 00:28:23.819 clerk just whispers. It's kind of a dumb thing, 00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:27.420 to be honest. But, you know, it happens and everything 00:28:27.420 --> 00:28:32.400 like that. They go to the hotel bar to have like 00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:34.900 a bite to eat. Kyle excuses himself to go to 00:28:34.900 --> 00:28:37.519 the bathroom. But he also sees that there's somebody 00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:40.519 at the bar and is kind of like convincing Peter 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:44.209 to go talk to her. It's Katie Aselton. Katie 00:28:44.209 --> 00:28:46.809 Isleton's from The League. She's the wife in 00:28:46.809 --> 00:28:49.029 The League. That's the thing I know her most 00:28:49.029 --> 00:28:51.329 from. There's probably a bunch of other things 00:28:51.329 --> 00:28:53.630 that she's known from. But that's the thing I 00:28:53.630 --> 00:28:57.089 know her from. And she's amazing in that. So 00:28:57.089 --> 00:29:00.150 that's the only thing I think I want to know 00:29:00.150 --> 00:29:02.089 her from. If there's any other roles that she's 00:29:02.089 --> 00:29:06.829 done that are not as good. We'll see. She plays 00:29:06.829 --> 00:29:11.890 Sarah. well peter for whatever reason decides 00:29:11.890 --> 00:29:14.849 that he has the courage so he decides to go up 00:29:14.849 --> 00:29:17.210 and talk to her and they have a drink together 00:29:17.210 --> 00:29:20.730 they're hitting it off and kyle comes back and 00:29:20.730 --> 00:29:23.230 realizes oh he's he's talking with her he's like 00:29:23.230 --> 00:29:27.750 okay cool i'll uh i gotta go on this special 00:29:27.750 --> 00:29:31.150 meeting why don't you have the room tonight i'll 00:29:31.150 --> 00:29:35.210 i'll see in the morning so kyle leaves and lets 00:29:35.210 --> 00:29:38.869 peter try to uh Get his game on and they hit 00:29:38.869 --> 00:29:41.930 it off and they do have sex. And Kyle sleeps 00:29:41.930 --> 00:29:45.430 in the car overnight. And everybody's basically 00:29:45.430 --> 00:29:47.950 pretty happy, even if they don't find out. They're 00:29:47.950 --> 00:29:51.049 going to find Sparkly P tomorrow, find out if 00:29:51.049 --> 00:29:55.309 he's their dad. Peter's back in the game. He's 00:29:55.309 --> 00:29:58.710 just hooked up with this girl. Kyle, he's been 00:29:58.710 --> 00:30:00.809 convinced that he's going to stay with his girlfriend 00:30:00.809 --> 00:30:03.329 and the child. He actually has a FaceTime with 00:30:03.329 --> 00:30:05.809 her in the car and like everything feels OK. 00:30:06.269 --> 00:30:08.509 We're in a good spot, even if they don't find 00:30:08.509 --> 00:30:13.390 sparkly pee. They feel okay. So, of course, something's 00:30:13.390 --> 00:30:15.450 got to happen, but we're going to get to that 00:30:15.450 --> 00:30:18.279 after this quick little word.

They find 00:30:58.339 --> 00:31:01.099 his address and they go to his house and they 00:31:01.099 --> 00:31:03.480 realize that, yep, there's a bunch of people 00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:06.339 at his house and they are all wearing dark colors. 00:31:07.180 --> 00:31:12.829 He's dead. Sparkly P, gone. It's unfortunate. 00:31:13.069 --> 00:31:15.410 He seemed like a nice guy, even though we didn't 00:31:15.410 --> 00:31:18.730 actually meet him. They're at the casket, like, 00:31:18.809 --> 00:31:20.849 saying, oh, we wish you could have been our father, 00:31:20.990 --> 00:31:22.789 or you might have been, and, you know, you seem 00:31:22.789 --> 00:31:24.670 like a good guy and everything like that. And 00:31:24.670 --> 00:31:26.230 somebody in the crowd makes an announcement that 00:31:26.230 --> 00:31:28.950 the eldest daughter is about to say a couple 00:31:28.950 --> 00:31:32.309 words on her father's passing. And wouldn't you 00:31:32.309 --> 00:31:36.190 know it, it's Sarah, the girl that Peter just 00:31:36.190 --> 00:31:40.450 hooked up with last night. Yep, she may be his 00:31:40.450 --> 00:31:43.940 sister. Of course. Why wouldn't it happen this 00:31:43.940 --> 00:31:46.039 way? This is the only way it could have gone 00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:50.579 down. And they're just like, OK, we need to get 00:31:50.579 --> 00:31:51.799 out of here. We need to get out of here. They 00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:54.799 bump into some guys. And of course, they're the 00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:59.059 typical like Massachusetts and Massachusetts, 00:31:59.619 --> 00:32:03.579 Massachusetts, Massachusetts, whatever you want 00:32:03.579 --> 00:32:05.900 to call them. Bostonians, that's probably more. 00:32:06.299 --> 00:32:09.039 fitting the wooster ends that kind of thing and 00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:11.339 they're tough guys that want to get into a fight 00:32:11.339 --> 00:32:13.400 so they take it outside and everything like that 00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:16.359 and sarah realizes like whoa peter what are you 00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:18.079 what are you doing here like why are you here 00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:19.720 why are you at my dad's funeral and everything 00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.180 like that and they get into a fight with these 00:32:22.180 --> 00:32:28.119 guys and basically some guy breaks it up gets 00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:30.700 them all to sit down and talk and it's the uncle 00:32:30.700 --> 00:32:36.269 or it's the brother of sparkly p and he's He 00:32:36.269 --> 00:32:37.890 gets them all to talk about everything that's 00:32:37.890 --> 00:32:41.089 going on, everything like that. And basically, 00:32:41.130 --> 00:32:44.809 they admit that Sparkly P might have been their 00:32:44.809 --> 00:32:47.970 dad. And Sarah immediately is just, oh, oh, God. 00:32:48.009 --> 00:32:54.289 Oh, oh, no. And they learn that Sparkly P was 00:32:54.289 --> 00:32:59.049 a good guy and never had sex out of wedlock. 00:33:00.910 --> 00:33:06.740 And so even though. sparkly p was like in love 00:33:06.740 --> 00:33:09.400 with helen and everything like that they never 00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:12.240 had sex because he never put a ring on it and 00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:15.099 so good news sarah and peter can continue fucking 00:33:15.099 --> 00:33:17.940 they're not actually brother and sister and kyle 00:33:17.940 --> 00:33:19.819 also has a line where he like points at sarah 00:33:19.819 --> 00:33:22.759 and goes you were worried there weren't you um 00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:29.240 so yeah because they never got married and because 00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:33.720 they never had sex and everything like that Obviously, 00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:36.279 this couldn't be their father. And it was also 00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:39.240 because they didn't get married because of an 00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:41.880 affair that Helen was having for a long time, 00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:46.119 basically. The affair was with some guy named 00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:48.880 Dr. Tinkler. And yes, that is his real name, 00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:55.779 Dr. Tinkler, who just so happens to live in their 00:33:55.779 --> 00:33:58.759 town, be their vet, and he's the one that put 00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:02.490 down their cat, Chairman Meow. And now it all 00:34:02.490 --> 00:34:05.289 makes sense. Obviously, Dr. Tinkler is definitely 00:34:05.289 --> 00:34:08.590 their father. That makes sense because, like, 00:34:08.630 --> 00:34:10.530 why would they live in the same area? That kind 00:34:10.530 --> 00:34:14.730 of stuff. So they road trip it all the way back 00:34:14.730 --> 00:34:18.309 to Ohio, and they're going to confront Dr. Tinkler. 00:34:19.530 --> 00:34:21.570 This is when I also learned that Ali Wong's in 00:34:21.570 --> 00:34:23.570 this movie because she is the receptionist for 00:34:23.570 --> 00:34:28.329 Dr. Tinkler. And Christopher Walken is Dr. Tinkler. 00:34:28.929 --> 00:34:32.699 And he... Seems to know already why the boys 00:34:32.699 --> 00:34:35.519 are here and everything like that. Also, he may 00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:39.300 have had an affair with Ali Wong, his his receptionist. 00:34:39.340 --> 00:34:41.960 That also is a thing that might have happened. 00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:45.599 They're having this super serious conversation 00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:48.179 with Dr. Tinkler, and they keep getting distracted 00:34:48.179 --> 00:34:50.159 by the fact that there's a cat on the table that 00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:53.960 just has like massive cat balls. So, you know, 00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:58.579 again, another thing. Dr. Tinkler is able to 00:34:58.579 --> 00:35:01.300 distract them for a second and he's running off 00:35:01.300 --> 00:35:03.940 because he just doesn't want to deal with this. 00:35:06.300 --> 00:35:09.639 Kyle somehow picks up a tranquilizer dart gun 00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:15.000 and shoots Dr. Tinkler. And so they put him back 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:18.320 in the vet room. They call their mother and they're 00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:23.219 just like, yeah, we're here to talk about this 00:35:23.219 --> 00:35:26.079 situation. We know the truth now that Dr. Tinkler 00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:32.960 is our father. And finally, it all comes out. 00:35:34.179 --> 00:35:38.719 Helen isn't even their mother. I know. You're 00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:43.420 as thrown as I am. Helen used to work at a battered 00:35:43.420 --> 00:35:47.239 women's shelter. And a woman came in six months 00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:50.699 pregnant, went into labor early, and these boys 00:35:50.699 --> 00:35:54.159 were born and the mother died. And so they don't 00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:55.780 know the father's name because she never gave 00:35:55.780 --> 00:35:58.389 it up. All they know is that the mother's name 00:35:58.389 --> 00:36:06.010 was Jenny. And Helen basically stayed single 00:36:06.010 --> 00:36:08.789 raising these boys because she didn't want them 00:36:08.789 --> 00:36:12.050 to be broken up in the foster care system. She 00:36:12.050 --> 00:36:15.289 wanted to care for these two twins. So Helen 00:36:15.289 --> 00:36:18.730 took them on and basically stayed single for 00:36:18.730 --> 00:36:21.630 their sake so that she could watch over them 00:36:21.630 --> 00:36:24.010 and take good care of them and give them a life. 00:36:25.610 --> 00:36:28.150 it's also they don't know the dad's name because 00:36:28.150 --> 00:36:32.630 jenny never revealed it and they wanted jenny 00:36:32.630 --> 00:36:37.210 to be able to start a new life so um yeah it's 00:36:37.210 --> 00:36:42.030 actually it's a sad moment and then you think 00:36:42.030 --> 00:36:44.829 about the whole movie you just sat through to 00:36:44.829 --> 00:36:48.190 realize that just because helen didn't want to 00:36:48.190 --> 00:36:52.889 tell you this you just spent $20 ,000 trying 00:36:52.889 --> 00:36:54.929 to find your father's. You went through various 00:36:54.929 --> 00:36:58.949 exploits. And to find an answer you'd never actually 00:36:58.949 --> 00:37:02.769 have, all because your adopted mother didn't 00:37:02.769 --> 00:37:05.110 want to tell you where you actually came from. 00:37:05.750 --> 00:37:08.510 And mind you, these aren't kids. Like, when they 00:37:08.510 --> 00:37:10.210 were kids, I understand. You want to hide that 00:37:10.210 --> 00:37:12.190 kind of stuff, everything like that. That's a 00:37:12.190 --> 00:37:15.269 lot for a kid to take on. These are full -grown 00:37:15.269 --> 00:37:19.719 men. Like, they're adults. They can handle it 00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:22.139 now. They can deal with it and figure it out. 00:37:22.219 --> 00:37:24.159 But instead, you just went with this lie that 00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:26.800 your father died of colon cancer, which spurred 00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:31.159 all of Peter's life now. And they are trying 00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:33.320 to find their fathers because of another lie 00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:35.360 you told because you just wouldn't tell them 00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:38.699 the truth. And like this moment's actually very 00:37:38.699 --> 00:37:41.500 touching. It really is. They actually did a pretty 00:37:41.500 --> 00:37:45.000 decent job with this moment. But it's all because 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:49.800 of a lie. So Kyle goes outside. He's lost faith 00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:51.780 in the universe because they were born and they 00:37:51.780 --> 00:37:54.320 killed their mother. But Peter convinces him 00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:56.719 the universe gave them a mom who sacrificed everything 00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:59.079 and kept them together instead of separating 00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:02.599 them. Helen comes out and was just saying, I'm 00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:08.019 afraid of hurting you, losing you. And they basically 00:38:08.019 --> 00:38:11.000 reveal their exploits. And he actually did get 00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:12.900 hit by the train and survived, by the way, because 00:38:12.900 --> 00:38:15.019 he says, you almost did lose me. I got hit by 00:38:15.019 --> 00:38:20.030 a train. That's all that we're supposed to have 00:38:20.030 --> 00:38:23.389 at this moment. It then goes to an epilogue, 00:38:23.469 --> 00:38:27.469 which is a year later. Peter is a better father 00:38:27.469 --> 00:38:30.250 to Ethan. They are dating Sarah, and it seems 00:38:30.250 --> 00:38:33.710 like they're visiting Kyle in Hawaii. Truthfully, 00:38:33.750 --> 00:38:36.949 they actually live there now. And the brothers 00:38:36.949 --> 00:38:40.590 created an app together that basically this app 00:38:40.590 --> 00:38:43.050 sends you positive messages from the universe. 00:38:43.289 --> 00:38:45.739 And it's voiced. By Hitchhiker Cat Williams. 00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:49.579 Because of course it is. And that's it. Happy 00:38:49.579 --> 00:38:53.900 ending. Yeah. I went on that whole spiel about 00:38:53.900 --> 00:38:56.539 the fact that. She lied to them. She lied to 00:38:56.539 --> 00:38:58.219 them again. They could have known this stuff. 00:38:58.420 --> 00:39:01.679 And this whole movie didn't have to happen. Just 00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:04.000 in general. But I just mean in life in general. 00:39:04.380 --> 00:39:07.420 You took so much time from these boys lives. 00:39:08.739 --> 00:39:12.730 To not tell them the truth. And. I understand, 00:39:12.869 --> 00:39:14.869 again, in the beginning when they're kids and 00:39:14.869 --> 00:39:16.730 you don't want to separate them, put them into 00:39:16.730 --> 00:39:18.530 foster care, and you don't want to let them know 00:39:18.530 --> 00:39:20.710 that their mother died because of them. I understand 00:39:20.710 --> 00:39:24.329 that. I do. When you're kids, that's a big thing. 00:39:24.449 --> 00:39:26.570 And so, like, it was easier at that time to tell 00:39:26.570 --> 00:39:30.570 you, like, father died. I'm your mother. Okay. 00:39:30.889 --> 00:39:36.869 Fine. As adults, I think they have the right 00:39:36.869 --> 00:39:39.230 to know. I think they should know, especially. 00:39:41.269 --> 00:39:43.429 If you're telling them another lie that Terry 00:39:43.429 --> 00:39:46.469 Bradshaw is their father. Why couldn't you have 00:39:46.469 --> 00:39:48.730 told them right then and there what happened? 00:39:49.309 --> 00:39:50.869 And yeah, it would have sucked. It would have 00:39:50.869 --> 00:39:54.130 hurt. Everything like that. But they still probably 00:39:54.130 --> 00:39:56.230 would have seen you for the person you were that 00:39:56.230 --> 00:39:58.329 took care of them and took them in and everything 00:39:58.329 --> 00:40:01.469 like that. That's what drives me most nuts about 00:40:01.469 --> 00:40:04.150 this movie. This movie is not awful. It's not 00:40:04.150 --> 00:40:06.070 amazing. I'm not recommending it for anybody. 00:40:06.250 --> 00:40:09.619 But this movie is not awful because... It has 00:40:09.619 --> 00:40:11.579 some funny moments. It has some good scenes. 00:40:11.739 --> 00:40:13.599 It's a lot of vignettes, which is kind of fun. 00:40:13.940 --> 00:40:17.000 The Roland scene, I could have completely gotten 00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:21.960 rid of that, but it's fine. So this movie, I'm 00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:27.099 not upset it happened, but it could have been 00:40:27.099 --> 00:40:30.380 a completely different story if you actually 00:40:30.380 --> 00:40:32.559 did what most people in that situation would 00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:35.409 do. I don't know. Maybe maybe that's just me. 00:40:35.469 --> 00:40:37.510 Maybe I'm making a bigger deal of this than I 00:40:37.510 --> 00:40:42.510 thought. But that reveal at the end, though they 00:40:42.510 --> 00:40:44.949 did it in a touching way, that reveal at the 00:40:44.949 --> 00:40:48.869 end almost made it worse for the movie because 00:40:48.869 --> 00:40:51.429 like you're sitting there going now, why the 00:40:51.429 --> 00:40:57.269 fuck did I watch this movie? So. I don't know, 00:40:57.309 --> 00:41:03.519 I am. I'm frustrated by the ending. I'll say 00:41:03.519 --> 00:41:06.480 three quarters of the movie was okay. It's not 00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:09.000 great. It's not Shakespeare. It's not, you know, 00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:11.039 anything like that. Again, I'm not recommending 00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:15.480 this to anybody. However, you could watch the 00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:17.159 first three quarters of this movie and have a 00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:21.340 decent time. Decent, not great, but decent time. 00:41:22.260 --> 00:41:25.159 The end of it just makes it now, why did I watch 00:41:25.159 --> 00:41:27.719 the three quarters of this movie? I didn't need 00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:30.420 to, you know, because at the end it just doesn't 00:41:30.420 --> 00:41:33.960 matter. This whole search was based on a lie. 00:41:34.099 --> 00:41:40.820 So I think that's where my rating comes in. I'm 00:41:40.820 --> 00:41:43.960 trying to think of a rating to give it. I'm probably 00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:47.239 going to give it one out of five jumper cables 00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:50.500 tying up a serial killer. The first three quarters 00:41:50.500 --> 00:41:54.599 of this movie, I would probably give it two and 00:41:54.599 --> 00:42:00.400 a half out of five. Probably. because of that 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:02.059 ending, it brought it down a point and a half. 00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:06.519 And, I mean, that's just what it was. That's 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:09.719 just what it did. Overall, this movie, like I 00:42:09.719 --> 00:42:12.500 said, not bad. It could have been a lot worse. 00:42:13.179 --> 00:42:15.980 The cast in this movie was pretty damn good. 00:42:18.820 --> 00:42:20.539 Some of the scenes with Christopher Walken, I 00:42:20.539 --> 00:42:22.380 don't know what it is, but he looks like a robot 00:42:22.380 --> 00:42:25.760 because of his face. It just doesn't move. And 00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:29.090 then some of the parts of this movie, were actually 00:42:29.090 --> 00:42:31.710 funny. I actually liked some of it. I mean, I 00:42:31.710 --> 00:42:33.949 could have done without the Roland scene. I could 00:42:33.949 --> 00:42:35.670 have done it without the sleeping with your sister 00:42:35.670 --> 00:42:40.349 scene. That's fine. Like I, okay. And it's partially 00:42:40.349 --> 00:42:44.730 because I don't know if I saw it coming, but 00:42:44.730 --> 00:42:47.030 I had an idea that maybe they were going to go 00:42:47.030 --> 00:42:49.090 that way when Peter started like hooking up with 00:42:49.090 --> 00:42:51.929 Sarah. It's like, okay, I think this is going 00:42:51.929 --> 00:42:55.730 to go probably she's related somehow. And that's 00:42:57.769 --> 00:43:00.929 kind of dumb i almost would have been better 00:43:00.929 --> 00:43:03.530 with this movie though if it would have ended 00:43:03.530 --> 00:43:09.949 okay this is gonna sound weird all right um i 00:43:09.949 --> 00:43:13.469 would have been happier with the ending if sparkly 00:43:13.469 --> 00:43:17.630 p was the father dead and peter hooked up with 00:43:17.630 --> 00:43:21.110 sarah than the way it actually went because at 00:43:21.110 --> 00:43:24.030 least at that point there was a purpose to their 00:43:24.030 --> 00:43:27.500 mission they actually found their father They 00:43:27.500 --> 00:43:28.820 didn't get to talk to him. They didn't get to 00:43:28.820 --> 00:43:30.780 catch up. That kind of stuff. But at least they 00:43:30.780 --> 00:43:32.760 found their father. And it did end with a little 00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:37.239 bit of incest. However, it was better than making 00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:40.619 the whole movie pointless. The purpose of the 00:43:40.619 --> 00:43:44.940 movie pointless. I guess that's what I'm saying. 00:43:45.059 --> 00:43:48.000 You know, it sounds weird that I would have rather 00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:52.199 the incest ending. But that's kind of what I 00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:56.920 would have preferred. That's strange. I don't 00:43:56.920 --> 00:43:58.719 like that. I don't like that those words just 00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:01.420 came out of my mouth. But, you know, that's what 00:44:01.420 --> 00:44:03.699 it was. I mean, I would have preferred the incest 00:44:03.699 --> 00:44:10.340 ending. So, yeah, it's a one out of five jumper 00:44:10.340 --> 00:44:14.599 cables tying up a serial killer. Or not a serial 00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:20.480 killer, as Cat Williams so poignantly said. So, 00:44:20.539 --> 00:44:25.690 yeah, that's Father's Figures. Like I said, not 00:44:25.690 --> 00:44:27.630 a bad movie for the first half, but, you know, 00:44:27.650 --> 00:44:31.230 could have been better. Could have been better. 00:44:31.349 --> 00:44:37.969 So, yeah. Have any of you seen this movie? I 00:44:37.969 --> 00:44:40.230 want to know if any of you guys have seen this 00:44:40.230 --> 00:44:45.809 movie or have thought about it. Because it did. 00:44:45.909 --> 00:44:52.219 I felt like it was. everywhere for a while like 00:44:52.219 --> 00:44:54.559 I felt there was a lot of promos for it and that 00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:56.280 kind of stuff and then it just kind of disappeared 00:44:56.280 --> 00:44:58.960 probably because it wasn't as good as it could 00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:02.039 have been so I feel like it just kind of like 00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:04.940 tapered off and never went anywhere after it 00:45:04.940 --> 00:45:07.199 got revealed because I remember seeing this movie 00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:10.380 and going wow that's a stacked cast maybe I am 00:45:10.380 --> 00:45:13.440 a little interested and then saw the trailer 00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:15.699 and was kind of like nah I'm good that kind of 00:45:15.699 --> 00:45:19.780 thing But obviously, because I like to torture 00:45:19.780 --> 00:45:22.900 myself, I've actually seen it now anyways. So 00:45:22.900 --> 00:45:26.280 yeah, Father Figures. That is a movie that exists. 00:45:26.719 --> 00:45:30.760 I definitely watched it. And I would have preferred 00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:35.039 the incest ending. God, that's so weird to end 00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:37.800 on and everything like that. But yeah, so I've 00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:39.380 been Mike, your host for the Game for a Movie 00:45:39.380 --> 00:45:41.980 podcast, where we ask, are you game for a movie? 00:45:42.380 --> 00:45:44.420 Thank you guys very much for tuning in. I've 00:45:44.420 --> 00:45:46.280 got a 4th of July episode hopefully I'll get 00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:48.639 to on the right amount of time. I also have another 00:45:48.639 --> 00:45:51.820 backlog of movies that I've seen that I can now 00:45:51.820 --> 00:45:55.800 record and edit and hopefully have done for the 00:45:55.800 --> 00:45:59.340 rest of July, August into September I think is 00:45:59.340 --> 00:46:03.199 when I can actually have some of these edited 00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:05.900 and ready to go. So thank you guys very much 00:46:05.900 --> 00:46:07.480 for tuning in for the Game for a Movie podcast. 00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:10.820 I'll see you next time and... Don't prefer the 00:46:10.820 --> 00:46:12.980 incest ending of this one because I'm an only 00:46:12.980 --> 00:46:14.000 child. Bye!
