WEBVTT

00:00:03.310 --> 00:00:04.750
You know what that sound means? It's another

00:00:04.750 --> 00:00:07.089
episode of Game for a Movie where we ask, are

00:00:07.089 --> 00:00:09.089
you game for a movie? My name is Mike. I'll be

00:00:09.089 --> 00:00:11.810
your host tonight. I have got a bad romantic

00:00:11.810 --> 00:00:15.750
comedy just in time for Valentine's Day for all

00:00:15.750 --> 00:00:18.530
you lovers out there. This is one, according

00:00:18.530 --> 00:00:20.609
to Rotten Tomatoes, that is one of the worst

00:00:20.609 --> 00:00:24.469
rom -coms of all time. I'm pretty sure on that

00:00:24.469 --> 00:00:27.730
list it is like seventh or eighth on the list

00:00:27.730 --> 00:00:31.230
because it does sit at a 9 % critic score on

00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:33.429
Rotten Tomatoes. But of course, we will dive

00:00:33.429 --> 00:00:37.049
into the details of that shortly. We got to start

00:00:37.049 --> 00:00:39.929
with what we are drinking. Today, I've got from

00:00:39.929 --> 00:00:42.530
Burial Brewing Company in Charlotte, North Carolina,

00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:45.409
Surf Wax. This is one of their more well -known

00:00:45.409 --> 00:00:50.109
beers. It is an IPA, as I usually do. It's a

00:00:50.109 --> 00:00:53.090
phenomenal beer. The place is great itself. It

00:00:53.090 --> 00:01:00.920
is one that... It's an interesting place. It's

00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.399
a good spot. Don't get me wrong. But it's interesting

00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:05.959
because like it is a big music place as well.

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:10.040
You can get stuff from the gift shop like records,

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.099
for example. And usually when I end up going

00:01:12.099 --> 00:01:14.859
in there, I end up buying one or two records

00:01:14.859 --> 00:01:17.480
while I'm there. So a good place to get a nice

00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.959
drink. I've played trivia there before. And yeah,

00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:25.730
it is surf wax. Pretty damn good. All right,

00:01:25.769 --> 00:01:28.090
enough about the beer. Let's talk bad movies.

00:01:28.329 --> 00:01:30.769
So as I said before, this is a rom -com just

00:01:30.769 --> 00:01:32.950
in time for Valentine's Day. It is one of the

00:01:32.950 --> 00:01:35.709
worst rom -coms of all time. I'm talking about,

00:01:35.790 --> 00:01:42.090
from 2015, Accidental Love. It is rated PG -13.

00:01:42.409 --> 00:01:47.950
It was released March 20, 2015. It is a 9 % critic

00:01:47.950 --> 00:01:50.829
score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 15 % audience

00:01:50.829 --> 00:01:53.170
score on Rotten Tomatoes, so pretty much everybody

00:01:53.170 --> 00:01:56.849
agrees this one's pretty bad. Here is the description

00:01:56.849 --> 00:01:58.650
on Rotten Tomatoes just to give you an idea of

00:01:58.650 --> 00:02:00.670
what we're jumping into before I actually tell

00:02:00.670 --> 00:02:03.349
you what this is about. A clueless politician

00:02:03.349 --> 00:02:05.989
falls in love with a waitress whose erratic behavior

00:02:05.989 --> 00:02:10.210
is caused by a nail stuck in her head. Yeah,

00:02:10.250 --> 00:02:14.229
that's exactly the kind of movie that... you'd

00:02:14.229 --> 00:02:20.889
expect um accidental love so this is a movie

00:02:20.889 --> 00:02:26.310
that was directed by uh david o russell david

00:02:26.310 --> 00:02:29.889
o russell has done many films um you may know

00:02:29.889 --> 00:02:32.189
him for being the director of silver lining's

00:02:32.189 --> 00:02:35.849
playbook uh three kings american hustle he has

00:02:35.849 --> 00:02:39.870
done a ton of movies here's the thing about david

00:02:39.870 --> 00:02:46.699
o russell because I don't want to belittle this.

00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:52.139
It definitely needs to be said about how he treats

00:02:52.139 --> 00:02:55.979
people on film projects. Apparently he's kind

00:02:55.979 --> 00:02:59.560
of a douche, if you want to know the truth. Because

00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.460
he doesn't treat his actors the best. There's

00:03:03.460 --> 00:03:06.599
a very famous case of him mistreating Amy Adams

00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:11.340
on the set of American Hustle. And I'm sure there's

00:03:11.340 --> 00:03:13.099
a bunch more out there that we just don't know

00:03:13.099 --> 00:03:16.439
about. So David O. Russell, not a great guy,

00:03:16.659 --> 00:03:20.199
but he does put out some great films. So this

00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.620
one, however, is not one of them. And even more

00:03:23.620 --> 00:03:29.000
so, he stepped aside from the project. And so

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.900
this movie was filmed and basically pieced together

00:03:32.900 --> 00:03:36.479
after he left the project. They had a bunch of

00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.919
financial issues on this film. Including several

00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.439
times they had to shut down the production because

00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.219
they were worried that they weren't going to

00:03:44.219 --> 00:03:48.360
get paid. Yeah, that's probably going to set

00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.900
you up for failure most times if you're not careful

00:03:50.900 --> 00:03:54.819
with that one. So this film, technically directed

00:03:54.819 --> 00:03:57.520
by David O. Russell, technically not finished

00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.860
by David O. Russell. It was pieced together from

00:03:59.860 --> 00:04:03.879
all the things he shot. And it's a film. It is

00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:08.389
a film that happened. Knowing that it was pieced

00:04:08.389 --> 00:04:10.990
together at the end, it definitely makes a little

00:04:10.990 --> 00:04:14.409
more sense about how this production came to

00:04:14.409 --> 00:04:18.470
be. And especially because people like Jessica

00:04:18.470 --> 00:04:21.649
Biel and Tracy Morgan, they had to do reshoots

00:04:21.649 --> 00:04:23.769
according to their contract with the new director.

00:04:23.910 --> 00:04:27.410
But people like Jake Gyllenhaal didn't. So there's

00:04:27.410 --> 00:04:29.069
a lot of scenes that you'll see with Jessica

00:04:29.069 --> 00:04:32.990
Biel. And she's not necessarily in the scene

00:04:32.990 --> 00:04:36.410
with Jake Gyllenhaal. And they kind of... stretch

00:04:36.410 --> 00:04:38.310
it a little bit where she like sees him on tv

00:04:38.310 --> 00:04:43.889
or something like that so yeah it's it's definitely

00:04:43.889 --> 00:04:47.810
piecemealed together this film was put on a shelf

00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:51.610
for a while it was basically the copyright said

00:04:51.610 --> 00:04:54.889
it was done in 2013 obviously it didn't get released

00:04:54.889 --> 00:04:58.910
until 2015 and it set it sat on a shelf for a

00:04:58.910 --> 00:05:01.449
long time because of the capital production company

00:05:01.449 --> 00:05:05.540
um Capital Production Company had a lot of problems

00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:07.500
with this because they were going through a ton

00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:11.379
of financial issues. And so this one kind of

00:05:11.379 --> 00:05:13.620
got pushed out because if they didn't use it,

00:05:13.660 --> 00:05:16.360
it was going to charge against them pretty much.

00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:19.300
So they just kind of released it as this hodgepodge

00:05:19.300 --> 00:05:22.959
movie. So there are three writers attributed

00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.680
to this movie. We've got Dave Jesser and Matt

00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.439
Silverstein. I'm going to mention them first

00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.579
because they've worked on a lot of the same projects

00:05:29.579 --> 00:05:35.310
together. They were writers together on Grandfathered,

00:05:35.310 --> 00:05:41.089
the TV show with John Stamos, obviously on Accidental

00:05:41.089 --> 00:05:44.430
Love. They were writers on Axe Cop, The Cleveland

00:05:44.430 --> 00:05:47.310
Show, The Drawn Together Movie, and Drawn Together

00:05:47.310 --> 00:05:50.790
TV Shows, Greg the Bunny, Andy Richter Controls

00:05:50.790 --> 00:05:52.829
the Universe, Third Rock from the Sun. They've

00:05:52.829 --> 00:05:57.009
worked together for a while and seen the things

00:05:57.009 --> 00:05:59.649
they've worked on before. I like a lot of the

00:05:59.649 --> 00:06:01.779
projects they've worked on. I'm not shitting

00:06:01.779 --> 00:06:04.800
on them. But it does now make sense why a lot

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.100
of this humor is very sophomoric. And it's probably

00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:11.180
these two more so than the third writer. The

00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:14.160
third writer is Kristen Gore. Yes, Kristen Gore

00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.959
related to Al Gore. Kristen Gore was a producer

00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.259
on Foxcatcher. She also was a staff writer for

00:06:21.259 --> 00:06:25.220
Futurama. She wrote The Beanie Bubble. And she

00:06:25.220 --> 00:06:26.939
was a staff writer for two episodes of Saturday

00:06:26.939 --> 00:06:32.290
Night Live. So they've got some pedigree. A lot

00:06:32.290 --> 00:06:34.370
of these, it was early on in their career, it

00:06:34.370 --> 00:06:37.430
looks like, that they wrote this accidental love.

00:06:37.870 --> 00:06:43.490
So it makes sense how a lot of this stuff came

00:06:43.490 --> 00:06:46.930
to be. As I said before, David O. Russell left

00:06:46.930 --> 00:06:51.009
the project in July of 2010. So like I said,

00:06:51.029 --> 00:06:53.310
this movie came out in 2015, leaving it in 2010.

00:06:53.889 --> 00:06:56.709
Yeah, that's kind of interesting. In 2011, David

00:06:56.709 --> 00:06:59.319
Bergstein. He cobbled together whatever was filmed

00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.180
and gave test screenings in L .A. The crew was

00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:05.180
completely unaware that this had happened. Not

00:07:05.180 --> 00:07:08.980
a good way to market a movie by saying, oh, we

00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:10.560
piece this stuff together and just put it out

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:17.600
there. So, yeah. So besides all of that, how

00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:22.259
about we get into the actual details of the film

00:07:22.259 --> 00:07:25.680
of Accidental Love, which its working title was

00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.459
called Nailed before. Again, that sophomoric

00:07:28.459 --> 00:07:31.439
humor. But Accidental Love, it starts in a small

00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:33.620
town in Indiana. There's a classic car show.

00:07:33.899 --> 00:07:37.339
And we see our first character, Alice, who's

00:07:37.339 --> 00:07:39.879
played by Jessica Biel. And she is serving food

00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.420
at this diner on skates. And she's very good

00:07:42.420 --> 00:07:45.959
at it. And it's kind of interesting to see. She

00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:47.620
definitely had to learn some of this. She was

00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:50.240
very good at it because there's no way it was

00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.920
a stunt double or anything like that. So lots

00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:57.720
of cool moves, everything like that. serves food

00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.899
to her parents and she's kind of at first it's

00:08:00.899 --> 00:08:02.819
not weird that her parents would come but it

00:08:02.819 --> 00:08:04.459
is kind of throwing her off that they're there

00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:09.300
and basically her parents go like you should

00:08:09.300 --> 00:08:12.839
let your hair down uh because Scott came to see

00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.519
us last night Scott is her boyfriend he's played

00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.579
by James Marsden and Scott came to get their

00:08:18.579 --> 00:08:21.180
blessings Scott is going to propose to Alice

00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:26.980
Scott is also the local He's local law enforcement.

00:08:27.100 --> 00:08:28.660
I don't know if he's necessarily the sheriff.

00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:30.939
He's definitely like a bigger wig. He's not like

00:08:30.939 --> 00:08:34.179
if he's a deputy, he's a longstanding deputy.

00:08:34.299 --> 00:08:37.440
Like he he has good graces of the town. A lot

00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.299
of people respect him and like him and that kind

00:08:39.299 --> 00:08:44.059
of stuff. He shows up, tells Alice, you're done

00:08:44.059 --> 00:08:46.159
for the day. I got you off work for the rest

00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.440
of the time. We're going to go to the fanciest

00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:53.179
restaurant in town. It's the fancy gondola. So

00:08:53.179 --> 00:08:55.580
as they're saying down to dinner. He starts going

00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:58.039
on this speech talking about how they've been

00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.960
dating for eight months. And they're fixing the

00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.360
fancy gondola at the same time. There's a guy

00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:08.259
up on a ladder that's using a nail gun to nail

00:09:08.259 --> 00:09:11.980
this gondola and fix it. And it's right above

00:09:11.980 --> 00:09:14.840
their table pretty much. Well, Scott is kind

00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:16.980
of like upset about it. But at the same time,

00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:19.679
he powers through and he proposes. And of course,

00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:23.820
Alice says yes. And this is about the time. When

00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:26.679
the guy falls off the ladder and shoots the nail

00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.259
gun straight into Alice's head. Immediately,

00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.259
we are at the hospital and they are looking at

00:09:33.259 --> 00:09:35.960
it and they are getting ready for surgery. They're

00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:37.440
going to remove it and everything like that.

00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:42.279
They are just about to put the gas mask on her

00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:45.399
when Arlene, the nurse, comes in and says, shut

00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.019
it down. She has no insurance. And so they just

00:09:48.019 --> 00:09:50.000
shut it down. They're just going to leave her

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:53.210
with the nail in her head. One of the doctors

00:09:53.210 --> 00:09:56.210
is Bill Hader, and this is definitely a funny

00:09:56.210 --> 00:10:01.169
role to see him in because it's just kind of

00:10:01.169 --> 00:10:03.929
a Bill Hader role, you know? Not saying that

00:10:03.929 --> 00:10:06.049
as a bad thing, it's just Bill Hader being Bill

00:10:06.049 --> 00:10:10.129
Hader. So they're talking about all of the things

00:10:10.129 --> 00:10:12.970
that they could do because of the nail in her

00:10:12.970 --> 00:10:15.509
head, and because she doesn't have insurance,

00:10:15.669 --> 00:10:17.950
they won't do it, and she can't afford it. But

00:10:17.950 --> 00:10:21.419
if she... gets married she'll be on scott's insurance

00:10:21.419 --> 00:10:25.340
so that that could help right well because it

00:10:25.340 --> 00:10:27.480
happened before they were married that is a pre

00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.980
-existing condition so they won't cover it so

00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:33.379
this becomes like the catalyst of events for

00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:35.980
the rest of the movie so now she has this nail

00:10:35.980 --> 00:10:38.259
in her head she can't get it out because she

00:10:38.259 --> 00:10:41.500
can't afford insurance and if she jumps on scott's

00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:43.580
insurance it's a pre -existing condition so it

00:10:43.580 --> 00:10:47.259
won't be covered so they're also talking the

00:10:47.259 --> 00:10:50.759
two doctors about the nail could either cause

00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.720
her to lose motor control and scott's was like

00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:57.059
i'm i'm not here for this if you lose motor control

00:10:57.059 --> 00:11:00.539
or it could increase her inhibitions which might

00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:04.039
be good for sex and as soon as that happens scott's

00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:07.100
like well i'm back in yeah and alice kind of

00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:09.899
is like yeah maybe i can finally have an orgasm

00:11:09.899 --> 00:11:12.919
it goes for a high five and scott definitely

00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:17.960
is embarrassed by this at this point One of the

00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:21.200
things that happened at the dinner is the engagement

00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.399
ring was a little small. And so as things are

00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.100
getting explained by the docs, Scott kind of

00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:29.620
takes the engagement ring and he's like claiming,

00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:32.080
oh, it needs to be resized anyway. But you can

00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:33.679
tell he's kind of getting cold feet about this

00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:36.500
whole thing. He wants to make sure like one way

00:11:36.500 --> 00:11:39.720
or the other, if it's not going to be good for

00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.919
him, he's going to get out of this. So he's got

00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.830
the engagement ring just in case he can. Say,

00:11:45.929 --> 00:11:47.850
oh, I didn't really propose to you. You don't

00:11:47.850 --> 00:11:50.549
even have the engagement ring. And the parents

00:11:50.549 --> 00:11:52.909
show up. They've been called by Scott and they

00:11:52.909 --> 00:11:54.730
don't have any money either. It's not like they

00:11:54.730 --> 00:11:57.830
can just pay for it. But especially because this

00:11:57.830 --> 00:11:59.929
is supposed to be like hundreds of thousands

00:11:59.929 --> 00:12:03.590
of dollars. So they decide what else to do. They're

00:12:03.590 --> 00:12:06.149
going to do a fundraiser. This introduces us

00:12:06.149 --> 00:12:10.149
to our other characters. One is Aunt Rita, who

00:12:10.149 --> 00:12:13.330
is played by Kirstie Alley. kirsty alley slash

00:12:13.330 --> 00:12:16.070
aunt rita is like constantly touching her soft

00:12:16.070 --> 00:12:19.450
spot around the nail we also have kurt fuller

00:12:19.450 --> 00:12:23.690
in this movie um kurt fuller if you don't know

00:12:23.690 --> 00:12:28.309
who kurt fuller is um you do but you just don't

00:12:28.309 --> 00:12:30.490
recognize that name he is definitely the king

00:12:30.490 --> 00:12:33.789
of somebody that would be like you just don't

00:12:33.789 --> 00:12:37.690
recognize them from the name but you definitely

00:12:37.690 --> 00:12:41.309
have seen a movie with them uh kurt fuller has

00:12:41.309 --> 00:12:43.750
been in things like he was in ghostbusters 2

00:12:43.750 --> 00:12:46.730
he was in the running man um he's been in a bunch

00:12:46.730 --> 00:12:50.230
of tv shows i'm trying to think what's the most

00:12:50.230 --> 00:12:54.049
well -known thing he's been in because he definitely

00:12:54.049 --> 00:12:57.029
has been in a lot of things one of the big things

00:12:57.029 --> 00:13:00.350
he was big in was psych he was in 33 episodes

00:13:00.350 --> 00:13:05.679
of that he was coroner and chief and He's been

00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.519
in a bunch of TV shows and stuff like that. You

00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.740
definitely have seen him before. You'd recognize

00:13:09.740 --> 00:13:12.419
him from something. Because honestly, if you

00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:15.700
look at his IMDb page, pretty much every TV show

00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:17.720
that's happened in the last 20 years, he's been

00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.620
in an episode at least. He's kind of balding.

00:13:21.259 --> 00:13:23.940
He plays Reverend Norm. So Kurt Fuller, you don't

00:13:23.940 --> 00:13:25.460
recognize the name. You've definitely seen him

00:13:25.460 --> 00:13:30.860
before. He plays Reverend Norm. Reverend Norm

00:13:30.860 --> 00:13:33.950
shows up with his own medical issue. Which is

00:13:33.950 --> 00:13:37.470
an unending boner because of a super pill. And

00:13:37.470 --> 00:13:40.529
this is all revealed by Keyshawn. Keyshawn is

00:13:40.529 --> 00:13:45.730
like... Keyshawn's another guy that's kind of

00:13:45.730 --> 00:13:48.289
like struggling with his own health issues. But

00:13:48.289 --> 00:13:51.710
he also is kind of getting back on his feet by

00:13:51.710 --> 00:13:54.490
help of the Reverend, Reverend Norm. We don't

00:13:54.490 --> 00:13:56.730
know his deal yet. We just know he has some kind

00:13:56.730 --> 00:13:59.029
of problems. And he is played by Tracy Morgan.

00:13:59.750 --> 00:14:04.370
And yes, Tracy Morgan. Obviously at this fundraiser

00:14:04.370 --> 00:14:07.049
too is Scott and Alice's co -worker. Alice's

00:14:07.049 --> 00:14:09.929
co -worker is definitely hitting on Scott, like

00:14:09.929 --> 00:14:17.250
full out hitting on him. That is Brenda. Brenda

00:14:17.250 --> 00:14:20.129
definitely has the hots for Scott, but Scott

00:14:20.129 --> 00:14:24.210
is with Alice. Now, he's not necessarily saying

00:14:24.210 --> 00:14:26.990
no because who knows what his deal with Alice

00:14:26.990 --> 00:14:29.990
is right now. So this kind of introduces all

00:14:29.990 --> 00:14:32.230
of our characters that we care about so far.

00:14:32.750 --> 00:14:35.830
And at the end of the fundraiser, they have $6.

00:14:36.690 --> 00:14:39.389
So they come up with a plan, basically, that

00:14:39.389 --> 00:14:43.990
they were just going to work and save. And they

00:14:43.990 --> 00:14:47.590
can't because Alice just got fired from her job

00:14:47.590 --> 00:14:50.070
because she got into a fit of rage, which they

00:14:50.070 --> 00:14:52.590
told her might happen because of this nail. They

00:14:52.590 --> 00:14:55.110
also told her that she might start speaking a

00:14:55.110 --> 00:14:57.169
weird language or something like that. And it

00:14:57.169 --> 00:14:59.549
turns out she had a Portuguese nanny. When she

00:14:59.549 --> 00:15:02.029
was young. So she speaks Portuguese every now

00:15:02.029 --> 00:15:05.769
and then in this film. Yeah. So as they're talking

00:15:05.769 --> 00:15:07.990
about this. Obviously they can't work and save.

00:15:08.129 --> 00:15:11.169
Because Alice doesn't work anymore. But Aunt

00:15:11.169 --> 00:15:15.070
Rita of all people. Who is a vet. Offers to take

00:15:15.070 --> 00:15:19.590
the nail out. And mind you. As she's doing this.

00:15:19.850 --> 00:15:23.230
It's not in a clean pristine surgery room. This

00:15:23.230 --> 00:15:26.409
is in their house. On the couch. And she is drinking

00:15:26.409 --> 00:15:30.139
and smoking. While she is preparing to pull this

00:15:30.139 --> 00:15:34.320
nail out. She does lose grip of the nail. And

00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.919
now it's just like embedded in there. She can't

00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.179
get to it anymore. And Alice is of course going

00:15:41.179 --> 00:15:43.340
through emotions like anger, fear, that kind

00:15:43.340 --> 00:15:46.519
of stuff. She is absolutely just losing it. And

00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.820
Scott sees what's going on. And so he's just

00:15:48.820 --> 00:15:51.120
like, nope, I'm out. I'm done. I can't do this

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:55.100
anymore. I'm out. So there goes her engagement.

00:15:55.610 --> 00:15:57.509
Alice is no longer engaged to Scott. They're

00:15:57.509 --> 00:16:02.490
no longer together. She no longer works. She

00:16:02.490 --> 00:16:04.570
has this nail in her head that she can't afford

00:16:04.570 --> 00:16:07.210
to get rid of. Who knows? It might get further

00:16:07.210 --> 00:16:14.889
dug in there and cause worse problems. So it

00:16:14.889 --> 00:16:17.190
flashes to three weeks later. And Alice is staying

00:16:17.190 --> 00:16:21.409
with her parents. And Reverend Norm and Keyshawn

00:16:21.409 --> 00:16:24.750
stop by. And we learn a little about... kishan's

00:16:24.750 --> 00:16:29.190
issue so to impress somebody uh kishan became

00:16:29.190 --> 00:16:32.549
a weightlifter and was attempting like this world

00:16:32.549 --> 00:16:36.789
record deadlift and so alice just assumes oh

00:16:36.789 --> 00:16:38.769
it didn't go well like you threw out your back

00:16:38.769 --> 00:16:40.970
or something like that he goes no i got the record

00:16:40.970 --> 00:16:45.909
but i also learned what a prolapsed anus is so

00:16:45.909 --> 00:16:48.750
we've got three big medical issues right now

00:16:48.750 --> 00:16:51.769
we've got nail and head Unending boner because

00:16:51.769 --> 00:16:54.830
of a super Viagra pill and a prolapsed anus.

00:16:55.690 --> 00:16:57.830
Remember how I said the humor in this movie is

00:16:57.830 --> 00:17:03.350
kind of sophomoric? Yeah, about that. So basically,

00:17:03.490 --> 00:17:06.150
they are talking with Alice and she's just a

00:17:06.150 --> 00:17:09.470
wreck. And she's watching something scary on

00:17:09.470 --> 00:17:12.349
TV. So her dad decides to switch the channel

00:17:12.349 --> 00:17:14.819
so that... you know, just to not have her in

00:17:14.819 --> 00:17:17.220
this place that she's in. And it happens to be

00:17:17.220 --> 00:17:20.380
a commercial with a politician, this young politician

00:17:20.380 --> 00:17:23.299
who says he can help you. If you have questions,

00:17:23.380 --> 00:17:25.920
he's willing to answer them for you. This politician

00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:29.099
is Norman Birdwell, and he is played by Jake

00:17:29.099 --> 00:17:33.099
Gyllenhaal. So because of this ad, Alice has

00:17:33.099 --> 00:17:35.440
her plan now. She's going to go to Washington.

00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:38.460
She's going to meet him, talk to him, and hopefully...

00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.359
Get her stuff taken care of. Because this is

00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:43.579
the guy, for whatever reason she believes, he

00:17:43.579 --> 00:17:47.059
has a trustworthy face. He's going to be able

00:17:47.059 --> 00:17:50.319
to help her. Well, her parents, of course, are

00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:52.579
just like, no, you can't go to Washington. But

00:17:52.579 --> 00:17:56.180
Reverend Norm and Keyshawn also are like, hey,

00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.460
we can get our problems fixed too, maybe. We'll

00:17:59.460 --> 00:18:02.960
go with you. So this is our ragtag group. They're

00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:05.140
all going to Washington to talk to Norman Birdwell

00:18:05.140 --> 00:18:09.480
and hopefully get their problems fixed. So they

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.640
all hop in the van that the Reverend has and

00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.819
they drive from the small Indiana town all the

00:18:15.819 --> 00:18:17.980
way to Washington. We don't get like the whole

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:20.000
montage of what they're doing or anything like

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:21.799
that. Probably was on the cutting room floor.

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.500
And this is just what they piece together. They

00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:26.859
all get there. They walk into the Capitol and

00:18:26.859 --> 00:18:30.160
Alice gets stopped at the metal detector. And

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.019
at first you're like, oh, it's her nail. No,

00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:35.599
she has an unloaded nail gun that she just walks

00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:38.970
in with. And mind you, this is the Capitol. That's

00:18:38.970 --> 00:18:41.890
a fucking weapon. Like, I don't care if it's

00:18:41.890 --> 00:18:44.089
unloaded or not. And they just laugh it off.

00:18:44.130 --> 00:18:46.289
They're just like, oh, it's fine. She's going

00:18:46.289 --> 00:18:49.789
to show this to Norman Birdwell, to Howard Birdwell,

00:18:49.869 --> 00:18:52.730
to show him what happened to her and why she

00:18:52.730 --> 00:18:56.390
needs help. This also leads Keyshawn to meet

00:18:56.390 --> 00:19:00.609
Rakesha. Rakesha is the security guard. And basically

00:19:00.609 --> 00:19:03.109
really quick, he hits it off with her and they

00:19:03.109 --> 00:19:05.730
go out to dinner. She just leaves work at the

00:19:05.730 --> 00:19:07.869
Capitol as a security officer. And Keyshawn,

00:19:07.950 --> 00:19:10.410
who just drove from Indiana to Washington to

00:19:10.410 --> 00:19:14.069
meet this, you know, this politician. Yeah, he's

00:19:14.069 --> 00:19:16.049
gone now. He's going to take the security guard

00:19:16.049 --> 00:19:20.250
to dinner. So they get to the office of Howard

00:19:20.250 --> 00:19:23.549
Birdwell. And basically the assistant is like,

00:19:23.670 --> 00:19:28.450
no, you can't see him. He's very busy. And walking

00:19:28.450 --> 00:19:32.589
in at the same time is Pam Henry Hendrickson.

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.059
Yes, her name is Pam Henry. They call her Pam

00:19:36.059 --> 00:19:39.579
Henry a lot. She is played by Catherine Keener.

00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:43.160
She is representative. She's been she's been

00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:45.799
in the business for a while. She's definitely

00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:50.759
like the stone cold bitch on the Capitol. That's

00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:54.920
the best way I can describe her. She means business

00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:58.400
and she has Howard in her pocket. The young gun

00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:01.529
that she's like grooming. To be the next big

00:20:01.529 --> 00:20:06.410
senator. As long as he stays with her. Or not

00:20:06.410 --> 00:20:07.990
senator. But representative. You know what I

00:20:07.990 --> 00:20:12.289
mean. Catherine Keener. Has been in such films

00:20:12.289 --> 00:20:14.769
as the 40 year old virgin. Capote. Being John

00:20:14.769 --> 00:20:18.869
Malkovich. Joker. Get out. The Adam Project.

00:20:19.890 --> 00:20:23.710
You have seen her in a ton of stuff. And you

00:20:23.710 --> 00:20:25.470
definitely know her. Especially if you've seen

00:20:25.470 --> 00:20:28.690
the movie Get Out. She is the mom who does the

00:20:28.690 --> 00:20:31.730
brainwashing. She is Missy Armitage. And spoiler

00:20:31.730 --> 00:20:33.509
alert for Get Out, if you haven't seen it, that

00:20:33.509 --> 00:20:38.390
movie's from 2017. So get over it if I just ruined

00:20:38.390 --> 00:20:42.049
something for you. So Pam Henry, the representative,

00:20:42.430 --> 00:20:46.470
she's also known as the Lady Astronaut. She wants

00:20:46.470 --> 00:20:51.309
to build a base on the moon to protect the country.

00:20:51.730 --> 00:20:54.970
Basically, they can protect for the future because

00:20:54.970 --> 00:20:57.349
they have this moon base. And that is the big

00:20:57.349 --> 00:21:03.349
deal. And this is when it kind of like they say

00:21:03.349 --> 00:21:06.069
this movie is kind of a satire. And there are

00:21:06.069 --> 00:21:08.789
definitely hints of that because instead of doing

00:21:08.789 --> 00:21:11.509
stuff like, you know, health care or school funding,

00:21:11.710 --> 00:21:14.789
they're building a moon base. And this is what

00:21:14.789 --> 00:21:16.569
she's mad about in the first place. She's mad

00:21:16.569 --> 00:21:20.549
at Howard because he is kind of opposing. He's

00:21:20.549 --> 00:21:22.349
not really. He kind of said something about the

00:21:22.349 --> 00:21:25.390
moon base because he wants to get stuff for schools.

00:21:25.569 --> 00:21:29.259
He wants to get funding for schools. Also, her

00:21:29.259 --> 00:21:33.220
assistant, her aide is Paul Rubens. His name

00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:35.740
is Edwin. And there's another representative

00:21:35.740 --> 00:21:38.599
as well. That's Bill Hearthstone or Hearthstone.

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:41.819
I'm not going to be able to say that. Representative

00:21:41.819 --> 00:21:46.480
Bill. That's David Ramsey. David Ramsey, you

00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:50.430
may recognize from such things as Arrow. He was

00:21:50.430 --> 00:21:53.349
in the Arrow TV series. He's also in the Draft

00:21:53.349 --> 00:21:56.569
Day movie. He was in 17 episodes as Anton Briggs

00:21:56.569 --> 00:22:00.569
in Dexter. Another guy that you've probably seen

00:22:00.569 --> 00:22:03.009
around. He's definitely been a part of something

00:22:03.009 --> 00:22:07.410
you've seen. So Representative Bill comes following

00:22:07.410 --> 00:22:12.190
in with Edwin. And basically Representative Bill

00:22:12.190 --> 00:22:15.309
is also vying to be the next big representative.

00:22:15.990 --> 00:22:20.369
So he's also trying to suck up to... pam henry

00:22:20.369 --> 00:22:24.430
he has a little more confidence is what i'll

00:22:24.430 --> 00:22:26.690
say he's definitely been around a little longer

00:22:26.690 --> 00:22:31.710
so he definitely seems to jump in these positions

00:22:31.710 --> 00:22:35.990
in front of howard uh he mentions that he's got

00:22:35.990 --> 00:22:40.049
the uh girl squaws on his side for the moon base

00:22:40.049 --> 00:22:42.710
which is a big deal because if you get these

00:22:42.710 --> 00:22:44.730
it's essentially the girl scouts if you get them

00:22:44.730 --> 00:22:48.299
on they're selling in a exclusive cookie called

00:22:48.299 --> 00:22:50.559
the moon base cookie you know and everything

00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:53.700
like that and they may or may not get Shakira

00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:56.299
they may get Shakira you know and that's that's

00:22:56.299 --> 00:22:59.099
another big joke throughout this thing so as

00:22:59.099 --> 00:23:01.460
all these people are going into Howard's office

00:23:01.460 --> 00:23:04.480
Alice is frustrated she walks out she's going

00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:07.920
to find somebody to help them the reverend however

00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:10.359
is having a little problem with his boner so

00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:12.519
he is not able to help her at this moment he

00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:16.730
needs to go solve it so he leaves She starts

00:23:16.730 --> 00:23:19.490
knocking on doors and basically nobody can help

00:23:19.490 --> 00:23:22.309
her or they turn her away immediately because

00:23:22.309 --> 00:23:25.329
they're busy. That kind of stuff. Well, after

00:23:25.329 --> 00:23:28.950
everybody leaves the office, Howard finally walks

00:23:28.950 --> 00:23:33.029
out and they meet and they shake hands. And one

00:23:33.029 --> 00:23:35.210
of the things he says is you have very soft hand

00:23:35.210 --> 00:23:39.950
skin and it's very uncomfortable. Like he's.

00:23:40.589 --> 00:23:42.750
supposed to be awkward i think he's supposed

00:23:42.750 --> 00:23:44.769
to be like there's parts where he's definitely

00:23:44.769 --> 00:23:47.470
like a mama's boy he's definitely this young

00:23:47.470 --> 00:23:51.230
gun that's like not really sure how he ended

00:23:51.230 --> 00:23:54.430
up here and you know he's kind of uncomfortable

00:23:54.430 --> 00:23:57.490
with everything he that's really what it is and

00:23:57.490 --> 00:24:01.000
alice says like thank you for talking about my

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:03.940
soft hand skin. And then she mentions how she

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:06.200
wants to help weird conditions with people that

00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:09.019
can't afford fixes or healthcare. And it causes

00:24:09.019 --> 00:24:13.259
an actual record scratch in the movie. There's

00:24:13.259 --> 00:24:15.980
an actual moment of record scratch. Because he

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:18.000
thought he was just helping her with some kind

00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:20.920
of issue. No, she wants to overhaul the entire

00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:24.829
healthcare system. And he's like, ha! No, I'm

00:24:24.829 --> 00:24:27.289
only a freshman rep and I know I can't fix health

00:24:27.289 --> 00:24:29.950
care because it's a bummer issue. Nobody wants

00:24:29.950 --> 00:24:31.789
to talk about it because it's a bummer issue.

00:24:32.650 --> 00:24:35.430
And so he's like freaking out because he said

00:24:35.430 --> 00:24:37.670
he was going to help her. And now he also he

00:24:37.670 --> 00:24:40.349
can't help her. He needs to find somebody to

00:24:40.349 --> 00:24:44.049
bring to this moon based dinner tonight to convince

00:24:44.049 --> 00:24:48.369
Pam Henry that he's doing everything to get her

00:24:48.369 --> 00:24:53.460
moon base to happen. And. While he's stressing

00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:56.240
out, there's a man carrying a statue that runs

00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.119
into Alice's head and knocks the nail further

00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:02.720
in, which all of a sudden makes her horny as

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.259
shit. And so she attacks Howard and pushes him

00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:11.859
into an office and they have sex. It's uncomfortable

00:25:11.859 --> 00:25:15.279
sex. Even though you don't see anything, it's

00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.059
a lot of noises and stuff like that. She's reaching

00:25:18.059 --> 00:25:24.920
up and grabbing the groins of... Portraits of

00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:28.079
representatives that have served at the Capitol,

00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:30.180
you know, she's like grabbing the groins of these

00:25:30.180 --> 00:25:33.220
portraits and like pulling it off. And then she

00:25:33.220 --> 00:25:37.640
mentions orgasms do exist. And then she sits

00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:39.980
there for a second. She goes, oh, my God, I'm

00:25:39.980 --> 00:25:43.839
a dirty little nail slut. Howard is like extremely

00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:46.319
happy. He's found this girl that just has sex

00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:48.940
with him immediately. And she blames the nail.

00:25:49.019 --> 00:25:52.240
She's just like, no. It's not you. It's this

00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:54.259
nail. This nail made me like extremely horny

00:25:54.259 --> 00:25:57.000
and that kind of stuff. But it does give him

00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:01.839
an idea. So she has like a kind face and appears

00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:04.539
like she has this cause and everything like that.

00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:08.240
So now he has this idea to put her onto the issue

00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:10.299
of the moon base and people are going to like

00:26:10.299 --> 00:26:12.559
her. So he invites her to the moon base party

00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:16.440
and then says, if you do this, we can get your

00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:20.529
health care stuff. Like. Add it onto the bill

00:26:20.529 --> 00:26:24.789
and we'll help you along the way. Immediately,

00:26:24.930 --> 00:26:30.069
I know it's not true. This is not, he's just

00:26:30.069 --> 00:26:33.789
not doing this. He's using her to help out his

00:26:33.789 --> 00:26:37.289
cause for the moon base. So they go back to the

00:26:37.289 --> 00:26:41.329
motel. They're all just staying in one motel

00:26:41.329 --> 00:26:44.150
room. Keyshawn comes back after his date with

00:26:44.150 --> 00:26:47.029
Rakesha. They've hit it off. He may be in love,

00:26:47.210 --> 00:26:51.490
that kind of thing. Yeah. But the problem is

00:26:51.490 --> 00:26:54.390
he doesn't want to tell her about her, his prolapsed

00:26:54.390 --> 00:26:57.849
anus. And I can't believe I'm saying those words

00:26:57.849 --> 00:27:00.250
like that. I can't believe this was written in

00:27:00.250 --> 00:27:05.589
as a plot device. Alice explains how she got

00:27:05.589 --> 00:27:07.869
invited to this moon base party and that everybody

00:27:07.869 --> 00:27:11.430
should go, including Rikisha. So Alice shows

00:27:11.430 --> 00:27:14.750
up with her friends to this party and she introduces

00:27:14.750 --> 00:27:20.140
all her friends to Howard. Howard. calls the

00:27:20.140 --> 00:27:22.819
reverend norm his name and then he calls kishan

00:27:22.819 --> 00:27:27.099
rakisha kanye and shaniqua and it's like this

00:27:27.099 --> 00:27:29.920
is never brought up again this is just like a

00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:32.680
one -time thing where it's just like a backhanded

00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:35.180
like racist joke kind of thing where he calls

00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:37.559
them kanye and shaniqua instead of their actual

00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.740
names we also at this point see representative

00:27:41.740 --> 00:27:47.519
bill and the leader of the lady squaws the grand

00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:51.920
sacajawea marcia she is giving a speech about

00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:55.440
the moon base and she goes before alice now she's

00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:58.000
awesome she's a really like good kid and everything

00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:01.759
like that she's i think 12 years old is what

00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:04.180
they said and she's just you know they're excited

00:28:04.180 --> 00:28:05.579
about this moon base they're excited about this

00:28:05.579 --> 00:28:10.460
cookie and so this is they also think that Shakira

00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:13.420
is going to be involved. So this is how Representative

00:28:13.420 --> 00:28:18.019
Bill got them on his side. Alice, then it's her

00:28:18.019 --> 00:28:20.299
turn to give a speech. And she gives a speech

00:28:20.299 --> 00:28:23.440
basically where she mentions that she wants health

00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:28.259
care. But then she mentions that the way to get

00:28:28.259 --> 00:28:30.299
health care is to get this moon base. And she's

00:28:30.299 --> 00:28:32.440
really excited. Yay, moon base and everything

00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:34.940
like that. It goes really well. And like Grand

00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:37.500
Sacajawea Marsha is really happy for her. And

00:28:37.500 --> 00:28:39.990
they seem to get along. You know, it's not. They're

00:28:39.990 --> 00:28:42.609
not competing. Their representatives are, but

00:28:42.609 --> 00:28:45.509
they aren't competing. So after the speeches

00:28:45.509 --> 00:28:47.670
go well and everything like that, they go celebrate.

00:28:47.869 --> 00:28:50.589
And Keyshawn goes and says, yeah, let's drink

00:28:50.589 --> 00:28:53.930
like Henny or something like that. And he goes,

00:28:54.009 --> 00:28:56.390
come on, guys, I'm joking. I'm not that stereotypical.

00:28:56.509 --> 00:28:59.049
Let's have 40s. So they're just like hanging

00:28:59.049 --> 00:29:02.670
out and having 40s at the motel. And Howard's

00:29:02.670 --> 00:29:05.130
with them, too. And as they're hanging out, the

00:29:05.130 --> 00:29:07.710
Speaker of the House emails Howard, and he wants

00:29:07.710 --> 00:29:12.319
to meet Alice. Because she got a big chunk of

00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:14.319
people to be excited about this moon base. It

00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:17.160
looks like it's going to pass. Well, now they're

00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:19.779
really excited. So Keyshawn suggests they all

00:29:19.779 --> 00:29:24.000
go to Benihana's. Well, him, Rakesha, and Reverend

00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:26.279
Norm all go to Benihana's. But Howard and Alice

00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:30.339
stay behind. And at first, like this scene, you

00:29:30.339 --> 00:29:32.299
know, it makes it seem like they're having sex

00:29:32.299 --> 00:29:33.920
again. No, they're jumping on the bed. They're

00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:36.119
having like... They're just jumping on the bed.

00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:38.480
I don't know why. And this is where I say this

00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:41.220
is just a big movie to have her keep getting

00:29:41.220 --> 00:29:43.420
hit in the head because she hits her head on

00:29:43.420 --> 00:29:47.519
the light on the ceiling. And so now they're

00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:49.440
sitting down and they're talking back and forth

00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:52.440
and they're having a heart to heart. And, you

00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:54.420
know, it's kind of Howard kind of lets his guard

00:29:54.420 --> 00:29:57.000
down a little bit. And so does Alice. But Howard

00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:59.720
definitely is letting his guard down a little

00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:02.279
bit where he says he never really wanted to be

00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.339
a congressman. He wanted to be a forest ranger.

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:07.420
and he starts like crying and everything like

00:30:07.420 --> 00:30:09.640
that and you know it's kind of a nice moment

00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:11.559
and then he ruins it by saying it feels good

00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.359
to cry like a fantastic number two moment ruined

00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.180
so we can see at this point there's a connection

00:30:18.180 --> 00:30:21.099
happening between them and they think they can

00:30:21.099 --> 00:30:23.099
actually change things for good like he actually

00:30:23.099 --> 00:30:26.140
is starting to think maybe i do something to

00:30:26.140 --> 00:30:30.440
try to get like health care tacked on so you

00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:34.490
know it's it's becoming like Oh, they're going

00:30:34.490 --> 00:30:35.970
to work together and that kind of thing. And

00:30:35.970 --> 00:30:38.789
this is the part where I say, you know, rom -coms.

00:30:40.150 --> 00:30:42.089
You know how it starts. You know where it ends.

00:30:42.349 --> 00:30:44.250
But it's the journey in the middle. That's kind

00:30:44.250 --> 00:30:46.670
of what makes the rom -coms the rom -coms. You

00:30:46.670 --> 00:30:48.829
know what's going to happen. He's going to fight

00:30:48.829 --> 00:30:51.009
for her. He's going to get health care for her.

00:30:51.410 --> 00:30:53.549
That kind of thing. You don't know how it's going

00:30:53.549 --> 00:30:55.089
to happen, but you know that's what's going to

00:30:55.089 --> 00:30:57.990
happen. So this moment is kind of like a big

00:30:57.990 --> 00:31:00.950
moment for the changing of how he feels. Because

00:31:00.950 --> 00:31:03.109
he definitely seemed a little more cold -hearted.

00:31:03.889 --> 00:31:06.230
And now he seems a little more open, a little

00:31:06.230 --> 00:31:08.369
more soft, a little more what Alice was seeing

00:31:08.369 --> 00:31:10.670
in the first place. And then they voluntarily

00:31:10.670 --> 00:31:15.289
have sex this time. It's not nail enforced. But

00:31:15.289 --> 00:31:17.650
before they do that, she wants to know him better.

00:31:18.109 --> 00:31:20.869
And he admits he had a dog named Coconut, which

00:31:20.869 --> 00:31:24.430
that hit home for me because my family dog was

00:31:24.430 --> 00:31:28.089
named Coconut. And so, yeah, they voluntarily

00:31:28.089 --> 00:31:31.890
have sex. And I don't know where the rest of

00:31:31.890 --> 00:31:35.140
the people stayed. Uh, cause they were all staying

00:31:35.140 --> 00:31:37.980
in one motel room, I thought, but they definitely

00:31:37.980 --> 00:31:41.339
had sex and like slept together that night. And

00:31:41.339 --> 00:31:46.019
I guess they put a tie on the doorknob or something.

00:31:46.059 --> 00:31:49.119
I don't know. So it's the next day. They both

00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:51.519
wake up. They're feeling great. And she's ready

00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:54.099
to draft this bill for healthcare. And Howard

00:31:54.099 --> 00:31:57.160
kind of like smiles it off. Like, yeah, let's

00:31:57.160 --> 00:32:00.440
draft this bill. Uh, but they are going to meet

00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:03.000
with the speaker of the house and. This is where

00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:05.339
they're going to talk to him and see if he can

00:32:05.339 --> 00:32:07.539
also help with their issue as well as the moon

00:32:07.539 --> 00:32:10.579
base. Speaker of the House is named Buck McCoy.

00:32:11.019 --> 00:32:13.799
And he is now taking credit for the moon base,

00:32:14.019 --> 00:32:18.079
which is pissing off Pam Henry. She is not happy

00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:20.079
that Buck McCoy is now taking credit for it.

00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:23.220
But now that it's going to pass, he definitely

00:32:23.220 --> 00:32:26.160
wants all the credit for it. He meets with the

00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:29.519
Grand Sacagawea Marsha. She gives him one of

00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:34.369
the cookies. Then Alice introduces all her friends

00:32:34.369 --> 00:32:36.730
to Buck McCoy while he's eating this cookie and

00:32:36.730 --> 00:32:39.410
talking about how she she's really excited because

00:32:39.410 --> 00:32:41.410
she's going to attach this little health care

00:32:41.410 --> 00:32:44.269
bill onto the moon base bill. And this catches

00:32:44.269 --> 00:32:49.750
Buck off guard. And now Howard's caught because

00:32:49.750 --> 00:32:55.309
he lied. And basically, Buck is choking on this

00:32:55.309 --> 00:32:58.049
cookie because he did not expect this. He didn't

00:32:58.049 --> 00:33:00.150
know this was a thing. He starts choking on this

00:33:00.150 --> 00:33:03.950
cookie. Um, Howard is kind of like caught up

00:33:03.950 --> 00:33:05.869
in everything and mentions, maybe we can get

00:33:05.869 --> 00:33:07.690
Shakira. Then we could get even more support.

00:33:07.849 --> 00:33:09.730
You know, this is, this is fine. We can do this.

00:33:09.789 --> 00:33:12.930
Yeah. An argument ensues. There's Shakira is

00:33:12.930 --> 00:33:15.430
not going to happen, which second Julia Marsha

00:33:15.430 --> 00:33:17.829
starts screaming. She's like, I'll hold a press

00:33:17.829 --> 00:33:20.089
conference about how Congress boned the girl

00:33:20.089 --> 00:33:22.910
squaws and that she will fuck shit up. And the

00:33:22.910 --> 00:33:24.930
speaker is still choking while all this is happening,

00:33:25.069 --> 00:33:27.670
which leads Reverend Norm to try to do the Heimlich

00:33:27.670 --> 00:33:30.549
maneuver. Reverend Norm is doing the Heimlich

00:33:30.549 --> 00:33:33.230
maneuver, and it's basically just an excuse to

00:33:33.230 --> 00:33:37.430
show him essentially shoving his unending boner

00:33:37.430 --> 00:33:40.950
into the Speaker of the House. This is the level

00:33:40.950 --> 00:33:44.769
of comedy we've reached. It doesn't work, so

00:33:44.769 --> 00:33:47.829
he falls over, and then Alice and Howard grab

00:33:47.829 --> 00:33:50.990
one of the defibrillators, and they're going

00:33:50.990 --> 00:33:57.289
to try to restart his heart. using the paddles

00:33:57.289 --> 00:34:03.930
and then pam henry accidentally unplugs the defibrillator

00:34:03.930 --> 00:34:06.930
because she's mad at the speaker of the house

00:34:06.930 --> 00:34:10.730
for taking credit for her moon base so she does

00:34:10.730 --> 00:34:13.409
it on purpose it's not accidental that's in quotation

00:34:13.409 --> 00:34:17.150
marks and edwin the assistant sees her do it

00:34:17.150 --> 00:34:22.110
and knows that she let him die so yeah buck mccoy

00:34:22.110 --> 00:34:24.369
is dead There you go. The Speaker of the House,

00:34:24.469 --> 00:34:28.769
he's dead. He died from a Heimlich of an unending

00:34:28.769 --> 00:34:32.610
boner on a reverend. He died because Pam Henry

00:34:32.610 --> 00:34:34.809
let him, and he died choking on a Girl Scout

00:34:34.809 --> 00:34:37.090
cookie for the Moonbase that they're now pissed

00:34:37.090 --> 00:34:39.730
about because they did this cookie because they

00:34:39.730 --> 00:34:41.449
thought Shakira was going to be showing up, and

00:34:41.449 --> 00:34:44.449
now Shakira is probably not showing up. Yeah.

00:34:45.929 --> 00:34:49.110
This is a hell of a story. Right here. Like,

00:34:49.170 --> 00:34:52.360
I don't know. If it feels crazy, it's because

00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:56.639
it is crazy. But so now that Alice's best options

00:34:56.639 --> 00:35:00.880
to get this bill passed now that he's dead. Yeah,

00:35:01.019 --> 00:35:04.340
we're going to take a quick break and we're going

00:35:04.340 --> 00:35:05.940
to give a shout out to our friends who guessed

00:35:05.940 --> 00:35:09.719
the bad movie. Normally on these bad movie guessing

00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:13.159
games, I expect to give at least two hints before

00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:15.679
somebody gets it. No, we just needed one hint,

00:35:15.860 --> 00:35:18.559
and it is our friends at Doom Generation Podcast.

00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:21.840

00:35:46.469 --> 00:35:48.590
yet just because I've been watching the bad movie

00:35:48.590 --> 00:35:52.349
myself and recording. But it's always a good

00:35:52.349 --> 00:35:54.570
time with the Doom Generation podcast. Every

00:36:21.610 --> 00:36:25.130
asked myself. I'm trying to recreate that as

00:36:25.130 --> 00:36:27.860
much as possible. I don't think I've ever laughed

00:36:27.860 --> 00:36:33.599
like that in my life. That was new. What is that?

00:36:33.739 --> 00:36:37.920

only wrong way is to bribe me, and I'm not going

to let that happen again. I mean, no, I'm not

00:37:29.550 --> 00:37:33.769
going to let that happen. Sorry. Yes. Okay, so

00:37:33.769 --> 00:37:37.969
Buck McCoy is dead. We go to the funeral. It

00:37:37.969 --> 00:37:40.050
is a big deal because the Speaker of the House

00:37:40.050 --> 00:37:43.230
is dead, so the funeral is playing on TV, and

00:37:43.230 --> 00:37:46.070
we see back in Indiana, Scott is watching the

00:37:46.070 --> 00:37:49.320
funeral, and he sees that Alice is there. also

00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:53.000
brenda has slept over and yes that is alice's

00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:55.199
co -worker brenda she is sleeping with scott

00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:59.320
but scott is like i'm not over alice there's

00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:01.860
still like a 60 chance that everything could

00:38:01.860 --> 00:38:05.880
go well i need to go to washington and find her

00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:10.059
so at this funeral alice is sitting with her

00:38:10.059 --> 00:38:14.000
friends and pam henry is behind everything she

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:18.119
gets to read the eulogy because She is now the

00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:21.539
Speaker of the House taking over for Buck McCoy

00:38:21.539 --> 00:38:24.840
and because apparently she knew him so well.

00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:29.340
Well, Edwin, the assistant, shows up and basically

00:38:29.340 --> 00:38:31.619
says, I know what you did. I'm going to keep

00:38:31.619 --> 00:38:33.900
it secret for now, but just know I know what

00:38:33.900 --> 00:38:37.139
you did. Howard also shows up after Edwin walks

00:38:37.139 --> 00:38:40.360
away and talks to Pam Henry, basically saying

00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:43.039
that he feels bad about what happened and everything

00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:45.949
like that. He didn't mean to kill him, you know,

00:38:45.949 --> 00:38:49.289
and Pam Henry kind of like says, oh, if the system

00:38:49.289 --> 00:38:51.650
didn't malfunction, he would still be alive and

00:38:51.650 --> 00:38:54.449
everything like that. All I need you to do now

00:38:54.449 --> 00:38:58.329
is go make those people disappear, because if

00:38:58.329 --> 00:39:01.190
they're around, they're still going to be pushing

00:39:01.190 --> 00:39:03.409
this health care option. No, we just need this

00:39:03.409 --> 00:39:07.889
moon base to pass. So Howard goes and like sits

00:39:07.889 --> 00:39:10.230
in the pew with them, kind of pushing them over

00:39:10.230 --> 00:39:14.230
to talk to Alice. And he offers her his surgery

00:39:14.230 --> 00:39:17.710
voucher to get the nail out. But she's kind of

00:39:17.710 --> 00:39:19.989
like, no, I'm not taking your surgery voucher

00:39:19.989 --> 00:39:22.929
because I'm here to help my friends, too. Like,

00:39:22.949 --> 00:39:25.409
I don't want this to just be for me. Yes, that

00:39:25.409 --> 00:39:27.429
is a big thing. And that is something that can

00:39:27.429 --> 00:39:30.030
help her. But if it doesn't help her friends,

00:39:30.110 --> 00:39:32.809
she doesn't want it. Howard's basically like,

00:39:32.869 --> 00:39:34.989
you can't do anything, though. Now, like Buck

00:39:34.989 --> 00:39:37.309
McCoy is dead. And if you kill this moon base

00:39:37.309 --> 00:39:39.889
bill, we're not going to be able to have a bill

00:39:39.889 --> 00:39:44.989
to. to attach anything to. And she goes, I've

00:39:44.989 --> 00:39:47.650
got this. I know what I'm going to do. And she

00:39:47.650 --> 00:39:52.269
stands up and she goes to the grieving widow,

00:39:52.349 --> 00:39:55.989
giving her a hug and saying, oh, I was with Congressman

00:39:55.989 --> 00:39:59.829
McCoy and I can tell exactly who he was to everybody.

00:40:00.269 --> 00:40:03.030
And Pam Henry's just like, no, that's my job.

00:40:03.090 --> 00:40:06.889
And the widow you can tell is done with Pam Henry's

00:40:06.889 --> 00:40:11.070
shit. So she says, no. alice go ahead and lets

00:40:11.070 --> 00:40:14.789
her speak and pam henry is just like stuck next

00:40:14.789 --> 00:40:17.610
to the widow trying to like save face but at

00:40:17.610 --> 00:40:22.010
the same time it's very uncomfortable uh alice

00:40:22.010 --> 00:40:26.150
starts talking about how congressman mccoy was

00:40:26.150 --> 00:40:28.389
such a good person and even though he wanted

00:40:28.389 --> 00:40:31.329
this moon base now that he's met her and her

00:40:31.329 --> 00:40:34.710
friends He said it with his last words that he

00:40:34.710 --> 00:40:36.869
doesn't want a moon base anymore. He wants to

00:40:36.869 --> 00:40:40.090
pass health care and he wants to help people

00:40:40.090 --> 00:40:44.530
because this is who Congressman McCoy was. And

00:40:44.530 --> 00:40:46.989
like everybody gets really excited about it.

00:40:47.250 --> 00:40:52.750
And basically, she's now turned it to a health

00:40:52.750 --> 00:40:55.429
care bill instead of a moon base bill. And a

00:40:55.429 --> 00:41:00.820
lot of people seem for it. It's a big deal now

00:41:00.820 --> 00:41:02.519
because she's kind of got the momentum on her

00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:05.039
side. And as she's leaving, like the press hound

00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:08.159
her and start talking to her about like, what

00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:10.059
else did he say? Did he say stuff about like

00:41:10.059 --> 00:41:13.239
medicinal marijuana? Did he say stuff about like

00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:16.239
freeing people from prison? And she goes, oh,

00:41:16.380 --> 00:41:19.079
no, he just said the health care stuff. Well,

00:41:19.179 --> 00:41:21.239
maybe the medicinal marijuana. I don't know.

00:41:21.300 --> 00:41:23.360
I don't remember. I may get back to you on that.

00:41:23.460 --> 00:41:26.460
And then she like walks off to another room with

00:41:26.460 --> 00:41:30.159
her friends. howard is also trying to like run

00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:32.900
away from pam henry because he's failed again

00:41:32.900 --> 00:41:34.860
he didn't get her to leave he didn't get her

00:41:34.860 --> 00:41:37.800
to walk away in fact he screwed up big time now

00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:41.119
she has the momentum and they're no longer doing

00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:46.079
this moon base so alice catches up to howard

00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:49.119
and they start getting into an argument about

00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:52.519
who is the better liar and then they admit they

00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.579
kind of may love each other this is random because

00:41:57.070 --> 00:41:59.789
each one is kind of like backstabbing the other

00:41:59.789 --> 00:42:04.090
a lot in this like Howard's definitely playing

00:42:04.090 --> 00:42:06.550
Alice for the most part and Alice is just kind

00:42:06.550 --> 00:42:10.510
of using him to get her way as well now her way

00:42:10.510 --> 00:42:13.750
is seen as the good way and rightfully so because

00:42:13.750 --> 00:42:15.409
all she's trying to do is get health care for

00:42:15.409 --> 00:42:19.570
people but it's very strange how they're like

00:42:19.570 --> 00:42:22.170
manipulating each other and yet they may love

00:42:22.170 --> 00:42:25.039
each other pam henry opens the door of the room

00:42:25.039 --> 00:42:27.260
they're all in and she is so pissed at all of

00:42:27.260 --> 00:42:29.519
them so howard jumps out a window to run away

00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:32.239
and then it goes to another scene where the girl

00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:35.119
squaws are all meeting and they welcome alice

00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:37.719
and her friends to their cause and they start

00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:40.619
selling like alice nail cookies to raise money

00:42:40.619 --> 00:42:43.019
for health care and everything they do viral

00:42:43.019 --> 00:42:46.380
videos about health care and how that's more

00:42:46.380 --> 00:42:49.500
important than the moon base And so Pam Henry

00:42:49.500 --> 00:42:52.579
is just she's beside herself. Now the the girl

00:42:52.579 --> 00:42:55.179
squads are involved. Alice has got them on her

00:42:55.179 --> 00:42:57.820
side. And like, how can you disagree with like

00:42:57.820 --> 00:43:01.400
Girl Scouts? They're they're so innocent and

00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:04.960
everything like that. Well, as she's watching

00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:09.480
this viral video at one point. And Sacagawea

00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:13.239
Marsha grabs the hand of one of the girls. And

00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:18.079
so Pam Henry now. Has something to use against

00:43:18.079 --> 00:43:23.739
them. And so. She tries to fear monger. That

00:43:23.739 --> 00:43:27.639
the bill is being led by. Lesbians. Because these

00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:32.000
two girls held hands. In this viral video. Holy

00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:35.500
shit. This took a turn. And like. Grand Secretary

00:43:35.500 --> 00:43:38.880
Marsha is so sad about this. She goes. I don't

00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:41.360
even know I was a lesbian. Like I don't know

00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:45.250
what's going on. And. nobody can point out that

00:43:45.250 --> 00:43:47.469
it's pam henry who did this they just kind of

00:43:47.469 --> 00:43:50.530
like it just kind of happened and she's just

00:43:50.530 --> 00:43:53.670
she's just using it saying well you know i would

00:43:53.670 --> 00:43:56.769
love to support this bill but i am a staunch

00:43:56.769 --> 00:44:00.710
a defender of like males and female marriage

00:44:00.710 --> 00:44:04.489
and i i can't if it's run by lesbians you know

00:44:04.489 --> 00:44:06.610
and gain her fan base and everything like that

00:44:06.610 --> 00:44:12.119
um also these Lady squaws are the girl squaws

00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:16.539
are now camping in front of the Capitol and hearthstone

00:44:16.539 --> 00:44:19.900
representative bill. I can't say his last name

00:44:19.900 --> 00:44:22.820
representative bill has released like poison

00:44:22.820 --> 00:44:28.340
oak spray on this. So they just literally are

00:44:28.340 --> 00:44:31.480
evil. Um, they put poison Oak spray. They're

00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:33.460
attacking this girl because she may or may not

00:44:33.460 --> 00:44:35.559
be gay, but she really isn't because it just

00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:37.739
was a moment where she just grabbed a hand of

00:44:37.739 --> 00:44:41.039
a girl and like the media shows up and they're,

00:44:41.039 --> 00:44:43.460
they're asking Marsha to share the tragic story

00:44:43.460 --> 00:44:48.940
of her gayness. Like they full send on the gay

00:44:48.940 --> 00:44:52.860
narrative all of a sudden here and how it's bad

00:44:52.860 --> 00:44:54.860
and blah, blah, blah. And it's just kind of,

00:44:54.860 --> 00:44:58.579
God damn. Like what? where'd this movie go like

00:44:58.579 --> 00:45:02.920
what why'd it go down this road but like i said

00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:04.679
before pam henry is kind of using this to her

00:45:04.679 --> 00:45:07.860
advantage she's like how dare you say anything

00:45:07.860 --> 00:45:10.400
about a nine -year -old girl how do you attack

00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:12.800
her or anything like that but then she also talks

00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:17.139
down about gay people at the same time so i don't

00:45:17.139 --> 00:45:23.730
know um yeah it's i Again, this is supposed to

00:45:23.730 --> 00:45:26.570
be like a satire at parts, and I see where they

00:45:26.570 --> 00:45:28.889
may be going with some of it, but it's just so

00:45:28.889 --> 00:45:32.489
poorly written and so poorly come up with. And

00:45:32.489 --> 00:45:36.630
especially, like, it's weird to me that they

00:45:36.630 --> 00:45:39.329
attack gayness in this movie. Like, it's very,

00:45:39.510 --> 00:45:42.349
very strange to me. I don't like it. It feels

00:45:42.349 --> 00:45:45.610
very dirty. It feels like a cheap shot that didn't

00:45:45.610 --> 00:45:50.570
need to be made. And so, I don't know. It's very

00:45:50.570 --> 00:45:53.519
uncomfortable. But luckily, they kind of drop

00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:56.599
this a little bit. There is another part where

00:45:56.599 --> 00:45:58.980
they bring it up, but it's not much. But they

00:45:58.980 --> 00:46:01.980
kind of drop this because guess who shows up

00:46:01.980 --> 00:46:05.159
to the camp while they're trying to find Howard

00:46:05.159 --> 00:46:08.360
slash think of a plan. You're correct. It's Scott.

00:46:09.019 --> 00:46:11.579
Scott shows up and he's trying to get Alice back.

00:46:11.980 --> 00:46:14.619
And he mentions the Harris polls while he's talking

00:46:14.619 --> 00:46:16.679
about this and how her bill is probably going

00:46:16.679 --> 00:46:19.619
to fail and everything like that. And the only

00:46:19.619 --> 00:46:23.340
people. who know the Harris polls so early, are

00:46:23.340 --> 00:46:26.380
Congress members. And Alice knows this. So she

00:46:26.380 --> 00:46:28.860
knows that Pam Henry is trying to mess with her

00:46:28.860 --> 00:46:33.900
by sending Scott here. And so she's pissed. She's

00:46:33.900 --> 00:46:36.599
pissed at Scott. How dare you do this? How dare

00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:39.000
you do this? Like, don't you realize how important

00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:41.199
this is to me about getting this nail out of

00:46:41.199 --> 00:46:44.219
my head? And Scott kind of realizes, yeah, I

00:46:44.219 --> 00:46:46.500
mean, it is important because if he takes her

00:46:46.500 --> 00:46:48.860
back, there's still a chance. She might have

00:46:48.860 --> 00:46:51.960
a hemorrhage. She might whatever. So he needs

00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:54.699
her to get this nail out of her head, too. So

00:46:54.699 --> 00:46:58.780
Scott feels bad and says, what can I do to help?

00:46:59.539 --> 00:47:03.179
And Alice says, if you agree to help find Howard

00:47:03.179 --> 00:47:06.760
and get him to sponsor the law, I will be grateful

00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:11.079
forever. And Scott takes that as, oh, I'll be

00:47:11.079 --> 00:47:14.599
together with you forever, not just I'll be grateful

00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:16.840
to you forever. So he's like, OK, I'm going to

00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:22.519
help. And so he calls on his law officers to

00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:26.440
try to find Howard. And he finds Howard in the

00:47:26.440 --> 00:47:29.400
middle of the woods, naked on a men's spiritual

00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:36.300
workshop. I think you think that I thought something

00:47:36.300 --> 00:47:39.440
completely different right now and was on a completely

00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:42.059
different movie. No, I'm not. I'm going to read

00:47:42.059 --> 00:47:44.500
that again. He finds Howard in the middle of

00:47:44.500 --> 00:47:48.059
the woods, naked. on a men's spiritual workshop.

00:47:49.260 --> 00:47:51.599
Basically, Howard has found this group and he

00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:54.280
needs to find his core or his manhood really

00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:57.099
is what the joke is. He needs to find his core

00:47:57.099 --> 00:48:00.059
on this retreat. And it's like this weird fight

00:48:00.059 --> 00:48:02.119
club thing where he needs to fight people to

00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:06.579
get to his core. Scott convinces Howard just

00:48:06.579 --> 00:48:08.960
to like stop fighting people and grab his core.

00:48:09.780 --> 00:48:12.659
And so he does and he grabs two of them and they

00:48:12.659 --> 00:48:16.099
just let him walk away. It's not. He didn't need

00:48:16.099 --> 00:48:20.900
to fight these guys. And this core, he grabs

00:48:20.900 --> 00:48:26.739
two of them. They look like balls is the imagery.

00:48:27.340 --> 00:48:30.960
And lo and behold, it is moose balls. It is actual

00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:33.860
balls. So he's got his core now, which is moose

00:48:33.860 --> 00:48:36.800
balls. So Howard gets his courage and he shows

00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:39.280
up to the camp with the girls squaws and Alice

00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:41.679
and her friends. And he's ready to fight. This

00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:43.840
is great. He's got his courage. He's going to

00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:46.300
introduce the bill. And then he kisses Alice

00:48:46.300 --> 00:48:48.920
in front of everybody, which pisses off Scott.

00:48:50.139 --> 00:48:53.500
Scott punches Howard. But Alice tells Scott she

00:48:53.500 --> 00:48:57.599
got her first orgasm from him. So he's he's like

00:48:57.599 --> 00:49:01.480
he or she wants to be with him because she got

00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:06.760
her first orgasm from him. So Scott is just relegated

00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:09.619
to the background at this point. So he's got

00:49:09.619 --> 00:49:11.199
his courage. He's ready to fight. They wake up

00:49:11.199 --> 00:49:13.539
the next day and they go to the Capitol. Pam

00:49:13.539 --> 00:49:15.480
Henry, as I said before, is the acting speaker

00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:19.119
of the house. And whatever she does this week,

00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:23.500
if it's for the best, she can be confirmed next

00:49:23.500 --> 00:49:25.760
week. So she needs to be on her best behavior

00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:28.159
kind of. So she needs to do everything with a

00:49:28.159 --> 00:49:30.360
little bit more tact. She can't be just like

00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:33.880
offensive to people. She gives like, is there

00:49:33.880 --> 00:49:37.699
any new business? And Howard goes. Yes, I want

00:49:37.699 --> 00:49:42.179
to bring this bill to law about health care.

00:49:43.300 --> 00:49:49.239
And so Pam Henry, being fair and just, listens

00:49:49.239 --> 00:49:52.719
to Howard. But meanwhile, she has a plan of her

00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:57.039
own. Representative Bill brings multiple women

00:49:57.039 --> 00:50:00.980
up that Howard slept with to get laws passed.

00:50:01.579 --> 00:50:03.920
Basically, they would sleep with him if he agreed

00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:10.050
to pass these laws. And truthfully, this is where

00:50:10.050 --> 00:50:12.550
I say he was using Alice because these two girls

00:50:12.550 --> 00:50:16.750
he also was using to get colored paints for his

00:50:16.750 --> 00:50:19.309
schools and everything like that. Like he was

00:50:19.309 --> 00:50:21.650
doing this. You scratch my back. I'll scratch

00:50:21.650 --> 00:50:24.250
your back. I do this law. I sleep with you. But

00:50:24.250 --> 00:50:26.590
then I get paints for my schools, you know, like

00:50:26.590 --> 00:50:31.010
that kind of thing. So he definitely has a weakness

00:50:31.010 --> 00:50:35.269
towards women and has slept around to get laws

00:50:35.269 --> 00:50:39.940
passed. Pam Henry is using this against him to

00:50:39.940 --> 00:50:43.780
maybe get him disbarred as a congressman. And

00:50:43.780 --> 00:50:49.039
so the law can never pass. And so his integrity

00:50:49.039 --> 00:50:52.739
is put into question. Alice wants to talk, but

00:50:52.739 --> 00:50:55.960
the rules say that she can't talk because she's

00:50:55.960 --> 00:50:59.320
not a congressperson. But the several like old

00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:03.750
men congressman stand up to let her speak. And

00:51:03.750 --> 00:51:06.070
she gives a rallying cry about crappy insurance

00:51:06.070 --> 00:51:08.809
and the uninsured. And she throws her fist in

00:51:08.809 --> 00:51:10.710
the air like, viva resistance kind of thing.

00:51:11.349 --> 00:51:15.750
And yeah, everybody's so excited and they all

00:51:15.750 --> 00:51:17.570
feel it. You can feel the energy and everything

00:51:17.570 --> 00:51:20.369
like that. And so after the speech, they vote

00:51:20.369 --> 00:51:26.429
on the issue. It's like 294 to like six in favor

00:51:26.429 --> 00:51:31.670
of not healthcare. Remember, nobody likes healthcare.

00:51:33.059 --> 00:51:36.159
And so after giving this impassioned speech,

00:51:36.360 --> 00:51:39.320
the nails like getting to her. And so Alice passes

00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:43.400
out. Pam Henry like rushes down the aisle to

00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:46.280
like take a photo op with her. And she says to

00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:48.219
like the cameras as they're taking this picture,

00:51:48.300 --> 00:51:51.000
she cares about everyone, even though they have

00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:53.300
their differences. And it's a really good photo

00:51:53.300 --> 00:51:59.449
option. So Alice's bill is lost. Keyshawn. reveals

00:51:59.449 --> 00:52:03.510
to rikisha about his prolapsed anus which causes

00:52:03.510 --> 00:52:08.769
her to break up with him and reverend norm is

00:52:08.769 --> 00:52:10.869
starting to question his faith because he thought

00:52:10.869 --> 00:52:14.110
they were on this trip of faith and everything

00:52:14.110 --> 00:52:16.869
was going to go well like he was he was hoping

00:52:16.869 --> 00:52:20.570
like uh kishan and rikisha They were doing well,

00:52:20.690 --> 00:52:22.789
but like she can't deal with the fact he has

00:52:22.789 --> 00:52:25.429
a prolapsed anus. And that's why he's been with

00:52:25.429 --> 00:52:29.030
this crew. And then Alice's bill is down. So

00:52:29.030 --> 00:52:32.309
Norm thought they was just going to happen. Alice

00:52:32.309 --> 00:52:34.389
still believes there's a chance. She believes

00:52:34.389 --> 00:52:36.730
in Howard. She believes he can figure out something.

00:52:37.250 --> 00:52:40.170
So as she's like lifted up off the ground to

00:52:40.170 --> 00:52:43.469
like her feet, she sees Howard shake hands with

00:52:43.469 --> 00:52:47.690
Edwin. And she knows he's back to his old ways.

00:52:47.710 --> 00:52:51.369
Like now he's in the fold. And so Howard's just

00:52:51.369 --> 00:52:57.030
not going to help anymore. It seems like they're

00:52:57.030 --> 00:53:00.329
done. So Edwin goes up to Pam Henry and Representative

00:53:00.329 --> 00:53:02.809
Bill, basically saying that Howard is going to

00:53:02.809 --> 00:53:04.530
be a lackey in their pocket. Like he's going

00:53:04.530 --> 00:53:09.269
to do what they want him to do. And so Pam Henry

00:53:09.269 --> 00:53:12.329
gives Howard a chance to speak. And he goes and

00:53:12.329 --> 00:53:14.730
says, basically, like, I have a weakness for

00:53:14.730 --> 00:53:17.309
women. I'm sorry about that. But I'm back with

00:53:17.309 --> 00:53:19.369
my party and I want to get this moon base going.

00:53:20.289 --> 00:53:25.769
and so alice is pissed she is pissed so she leaves

00:53:25.769 --> 00:53:28.590
and they're gonna head back home so they go to

00:53:28.590 --> 00:53:32.550
the motel and they're packing and just it's a

00:53:32.550 --> 00:53:35.590
somber mood you know they they've lost and they

00:53:35.590 --> 00:53:37.650
they feel broken and they don't know where to

00:53:37.650 --> 00:53:42.090
go from here and kishan turns on the tv as they're

00:53:42.090 --> 00:53:44.969
packing to leave and this leads to news position

00:53:46.159 --> 00:53:48.639
which is the worst way to end a movie, I think,

00:53:48.639 --> 00:53:50.920
in my mind. But, you know, that's what they do.

00:53:52.219 --> 00:53:56.219
It's revealed that Howard attached a rider to

00:53:56.219 --> 00:54:02.019
the Moonbase bill. And there also was a bill

00:54:02.019 --> 00:54:08.480
about renaming the gymnasium to named after Buck

00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:12.460
McCoy in his honor. And basically this rider.

00:54:13.079 --> 00:54:15.940
It gets her and her friends health care for free.

00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:20.400
And Pam Henry didn't read that writer because

00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:25.440
her assistant, her aide, didn't read it for her

00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:28.480
because he's trying to screw her over. And so

00:54:28.480 --> 00:54:30.639
she has to now deal with the repercussions of

00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:35.000
the fact that four people got health care out

00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:37.940
of nowhere. And it's all covered by the government.

00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:42.369
It's all covered. And basically the news is interviewing

00:54:42.369 --> 00:54:44.989
Howard and saying about how like it was like

00:54:44.989 --> 00:54:46.909
a good cause and everything like that. But now

00:54:46.909 --> 00:54:50.030
he's seen as a pariah and he's basically going

00:54:50.030 --> 00:54:52.590
to get voted out as a congressman. Nobody can

00:54:52.590 --> 00:54:55.090
trust him anymore. And what he did broke all

00:54:55.090 --> 00:54:56.969
these rules. But he's just like it was a good

00:54:56.969 --> 00:55:00.309
cause. And I'm very happy. I want to tell Alice

00:55:00.309 --> 00:55:02.949
that's why I'm outside of her motel right now.

00:55:03.530 --> 00:55:07.170
And Alice is like, what? Like opens the door,

00:55:07.250 --> 00:55:11.659
runs to him and kisses him on camera. And at

00:55:11.659 --> 00:55:15.639
the same time, Rakesha, she gets back with Keyshawn

00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:18.719
as well. She feels bad. And now he can get his

00:55:18.719 --> 00:55:21.059
prolapsed anus fixed so they can be together

00:55:21.059 --> 00:55:25.739
again. And so the end of this is a wedding. So

00:55:25.739 --> 00:55:28.139
it's Rakesha and Keyshawn's wedding. Brenda and

00:55:28.139 --> 00:55:31.880
Scott are together. Reverend Norm, he's happy

00:55:31.880 --> 00:55:34.059
because his pants fit again, which he announces

00:55:34.059 --> 00:55:36.519
to the entire wedding group or wedding party.

00:55:37.949 --> 00:55:40.550
And it's a mandatory wedding dance scene during

00:55:40.550 --> 00:55:44.869
the credits. Yay! Everybody's happy. And mid

00:55:44.869 --> 00:55:48.949
-credits, Alice gets to make a speech about how

00:55:48.949 --> 00:55:51.289
they went all this way and they got everything

00:55:51.289 --> 00:55:54.730
they wanted and how great it is that everything

00:55:54.730 --> 00:55:57.789
worked out in their favor. And as she's doing

00:55:57.789 --> 00:55:59.829
this, she gets hit in the eye with a champagne

00:55:59.829 --> 00:56:04.639
cork. And the joke is that, oh, now she needs

00:56:04.639 --> 00:56:08.380
to go get her eye fixed. Ah, Accidental Love

00:56:08.380 --> 00:56:12.619
2. Accidentally loved harder. So that's a bad

00:56:12.619 --> 00:56:14.860
movie. That is the rom -com Accidental Love.

00:56:15.739 --> 00:56:20.840
I can go a lot of ways with this one. So first

00:56:20.840 --> 00:56:24.900
off, I'm going to give you the rating I'm going

00:56:24.900 --> 00:56:29.550
to give this movie. It is definitely a 0 .5 out

00:56:29.550 --> 00:56:41.599
of 5. 0 .5 nail guns fixing a gondola. I'm giving

00:56:41.599 --> 00:56:43.900
it a .5 because it's definitely apparent now.

00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:45.739
I didn't know this when I was watching it, so

00:56:45.739 --> 00:56:48.500
I really didn't have any clue that this was pieced

00:56:48.500 --> 00:56:51.320
together after everything had been shot and filmed

00:56:51.320 --> 00:56:53.400
and everything like that. But now it makes complete

00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:56.460
sense, and it definitely feels like a movie that

00:56:56.460 --> 00:56:58.840
was pieced together. I think, honestly, I would

00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:01.079
have probably had a worse rating for it if I

00:57:01.079 --> 00:57:04.380
didn't know that. Now that I know that, I think

00:57:04.380 --> 00:57:06.360
they did the best they could with this product,

00:57:06.539 --> 00:57:11.480
which was not very good. I wish they would have

00:57:11.480 --> 00:57:15.139
gone more into the political satire. And I think,

00:57:15.139 --> 00:57:18.940
so one of the notes on the trivia for IMDb was

00:57:18.940 --> 00:57:22.280
that this movie was filmed in 2008 when there

00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:26.400
wasn't a healthcare plan like Obamacare. And

00:57:26.400 --> 00:57:31.159
so when this movie got released, it kind of was

00:57:31.159 --> 00:57:33.960
moot. Like there was no point to it anymore because

00:57:33.960 --> 00:57:37.539
Obamacare was out there and this no longer meant

00:57:37.539 --> 00:57:41.230
anything. So they kind of went more into the

00:57:41.230 --> 00:57:45.210
rom -com side of things. Now, I think this movie

00:57:45.210 --> 00:57:48.590
was still cut with that in mind, like the political

00:57:48.590 --> 00:57:50.670
satire and everything like that. I wish they

00:57:50.670 --> 00:57:52.389
would have leaned more into that, though. I think

00:57:52.389 --> 00:57:53.869
this could have been a better movie that way.

00:57:54.809 --> 00:58:00.909
The romance felt way too rushed together. Because

00:58:00.909 --> 00:58:03.570
in the very beginning, the first time they see

00:58:03.570 --> 00:58:05.730
each other, they have sex. Okay, great, fine,

00:58:05.829 --> 00:58:09.130
whatever. Good for you. You know, it's weird,

00:58:09.190 --> 00:58:12.829
but good for you. But they constantly are trying

00:58:12.829 --> 00:58:15.329
to screw each other over and they never write

00:58:15.329 --> 00:58:17.929
a good reason why these two would be happy together.

00:58:18.010 --> 00:58:20.250
I think constantly for the rest of their lives,

00:58:20.389 --> 00:58:21.510
they're just going to be screwing each other

00:58:21.510 --> 00:58:27.010
over. Who knows? Because no, Howard's no longer

00:58:27.010 --> 00:58:30.269
going to be a congressman, but it does feel like

00:58:30.269 --> 00:58:32.469
they're just constantly going to be screwing

00:58:32.469 --> 00:58:35.800
each other over their entire lives. Uh, it also

00:58:35.800 --> 00:58:37.920
is very weird. The whole Scott thing and how

00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:41.679
he just ends up with his, uh, with Alice's coworker,

00:58:41.719 --> 00:58:43.739
Brenda. And we're just supposed to be happy for

00:58:43.739 --> 00:58:47.599
that. And Rikisha, Rikisha just, oh, now that

00:58:47.599 --> 00:58:50.739
you got fixed. Cool. I'll be with you now. That's,

00:58:50.739 --> 00:58:53.300
I think the overlying point of this, the, the

00:58:53.300 --> 00:58:57.159
entire movie. I think like you can say it's a

00:58:57.159 --> 00:58:59.420
joke about healthcare. It's a joke about love,

00:58:59.519 --> 00:59:02.639
that kind of thing. I think the overall message

00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:06.099
that it did not mean to send. Is that when you

00:59:06.099 --> 00:59:09.980
are broken, no one will love you. Because Scott

00:59:09.980 --> 00:59:12.619
didn't want to stick with Alice because she had

00:59:12.619 --> 00:59:14.860
the nail in her head. And who knows what it was

00:59:14.860 --> 00:59:17.699
going to do. And Rakesha didn't want to stick

00:59:17.699 --> 00:59:22.320
with Keyshawn because he had a prolapsed anus.

00:59:22.699 --> 00:59:25.039
Again, why am I saying these words? These are

00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:29.159
real words that I'm saying. And though not mentioned

00:59:29.159 --> 00:59:33.690
as much, Reverend Norm. you see his wife like

00:59:33.690 --> 00:59:36.489
once or twice and she's very not happy with the

00:59:36.489 --> 00:59:39.329
fact that he has like an unending boner and so

00:59:39.329 --> 00:59:42.650
again it's just that's what i think the accidental

00:59:42.650 --> 00:59:45.190
message of this is accidental love uh -huh get

00:59:45.190 --> 00:59:48.369
it um the accidental message of this is that

00:59:48.369 --> 00:59:51.389
if you are broken no one's gonna love you and

00:59:51.389 --> 00:59:55.230
it is not okay and i mean they threw in there

00:59:55.230 --> 01:00:00.239
as well like anti -gay stuff like it's This is

01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:02.980
what I'm saying when I say it's a very sophomoric

01:00:02.980 --> 01:00:06.619
movie. It is very base level the entire time.

01:00:06.760 --> 01:00:09.219
And there's as many jokes as they can get in

01:00:09.219 --> 01:00:16.639
about penises, prolapsed anuses. She speaks Portuguese

01:00:16.639 --> 01:00:19.840
randomly throughout this film because, you know,

01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:21.940
the nail in her head. And she has sex randomly

01:00:21.940 --> 01:00:25.159
on impulses and that kind of stuff. And I don't

01:00:25.159 --> 01:00:27.579
know. It's just she constantly gets her head

01:00:27.579 --> 01:00:31.619
hit with things. It's very sophomoric, and I

01:00:31.619 --> 01:00:37.219
feel to do political satire, I feel like you

01:00:37.219 --> 01:00:42.460
need to be smart because you can't just hit people

01:00:42.460 --> 01:00:44.320
over the head with it. I actually thought it

01:00:44.320 --> 01:00:46.300
was hysterical that they were going for a moon

01:00:46.300 --> 01:00:48.480
base the entire time. I thought that was hysterical

01:00:48.480 --> 01:00:52.639
because that's the kind of thing that I think

01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:54.579
works with political satire. It's like, oh, we

01:00:54.579 --> 01:00:57.579
could do health care for everybody. But Moonbase,

01:00:57.900 --> 01:01:00.780
look at Moonbase. Yes, this is great. Moonbase.

01:01:01.420 --> 01:01:05.440
So I think that was very well thought out. But

01:01:05.440 --> 01:01:08.059
then the rest of this movie is not at all. Like

01:01:08.059 --> 01:01:11.880
it's, I don't know. The fact that there was moose

01:01:11.880 --> 01:01:14.340
balls for your core, like getting your balls

01:01:14.340 --> 01:01:18.380
back. And it's just this like men's retreat in

01:01:18.380 --> 01:01:21.559
the middle of the woods that they're naked and

01:01:21.559 --> 01:01:25.150
fighting in. Where did that come from? And it's

01:01:25.150 --> 01:01:29.329
all of a five -minute scene, not even. And I

01:01:29.329 --> 01:01:31.730
don't think it needed to happen at all. I just

01:01:31.730 --> 01:01:34.289
think, oh, we found Howard. He was cowering somewhere.

01:01:34.489 --> 01:01:37.550
You know, he was laying low. No, he was getting

01:01:37.550 --> 01:01:40.869
his balls back in the middle of the woods. That's

01:01:40.869 --> 01:01:44.570
what I say. When you're smart and do political

01:01:44.570 --> 01:01:47.710
satire and it's not beat you over the head with

01:01:47.710 --> 01:01:51.349
it, I think it's very well done. The thing is,

01:01:51.369 --> 01:01:53.760
this movie... They beat you over the head with

01:01:53.760 --> 01:01:56.380
it. Just absolutely destroy you over the head

01:01:56.380 --> 01:01:59.260
with the fact, oh, we're going to talk about

01:01:59.260 --> 01:02:03.280
political satire and the fact that, oh, nobody

01:02:03.280 --> 01:02:07.239
wants to do healthcare. And like, I don't know.

01:02:07.300 --> 01:02:12.500
It's not funny when you've done so many jokes

01:02:12.500 --> 01:02:16.519
to throw it under the bus. Like, I think you

01:02:16.519 --> 01:02:18.380
could have had a very, I don't know, not a very

01:02:18.380 --> 01:02:20.179
smart movie. I think you could have had a better

01:02:20.179 --> 01:02:24.449
movie for sure that had, better written plot

01:02:24.449 --> 01:02:26.909
lines and stuff. And obviously I'm talking about

01:02:26.909 --> 01:02:28.969
piece together movie of what they just filmed

01:02:28.969 --> 01:02:31.090
and everything like that. There could be a great

01:02:31.090 --> 01:02:34.190
movie on the cutting room floor, or if they would

01:02:34.190 --> 01:02:36.170
have had the money and didn't have to stop down

01:02:36.170 --> 01:02:38.889
numerous times, I think there could have been

01:02:38.889 --> 01:02:43.869
a better movie here because of the stop downs,

01:02:43.949 --> 01:02:45.949
because the director left, because they pieced

01:02:45.949 --> 01:02:48.909
it together, what have you. I think that's what

01:02:48.909 --> 01:02:53.530
makes this movie fail. However, They also filmed

01:02:53.530 --> 01:02:56.489
this movie in 2008. The director left in 2010.

01:02:57.170 --> 01:02:59.309
And this movie didn't get released until 2015.

01:02:59.969 --> 01:03:02.869
You had plenty of time. Like, nobody was clamoring

01:03:02.869 --> 01:03:05.349
for this movie that they needed it out immediately.

01:03:05.969 --> 01:03:07.989
You could have taken your time, made something

01:03:07.989 --> 01:03:11.349
better with it. I know you wouldn't have your

01:03:11.349 --> 01:03:14.389
full cast because the only ones still under contract

01:03:14.389 --> 01:03:18.030
were Jessica Biel and Tracy Morgan. But at the

01:03:18.030 --> 01:03:19.409
same time, I mean, if you would have written

01:03:19.409 --> 01:03:21.570
a better movie, they would have wanted to stay.

01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:25.800
I think Jake Gyllenhaal, he likes a good movie.

01:03:25.900 --> 01:03:27.980
I don't know. I could be completely making this

01:03:27.980 --> 01:03:30.059
up because I don't know the guy personally. But

01:03:30.059 --> 01:03:32.440
I think he likes a good movie, like if it's well

01:03:32.440 --> 01:03:34.199
written and everything like that. And of course,

01:03:34.199 --> 01:03:37.420
if he gets paid. But if you could guarantee he

01:03:37.420 --> 01:03:39.960
got paid and you wrote a better script for this,

01:03:40.119 --> 01:03:43.300
I think he would have stayed on this movie, done

01:03:43.300 --> 01:03:45.300
some reshoots, and you could have had a better

01:03:45.300 --> 01:03:49.119
movie out there. Maybe I'm wrong. And that's

01:03:49.119 --> 01:03:52.380
full well could be the case. I could be very

01:03:52.380 --> 01:03:57.099
wrong. But I think that if you would have taken

01:03:57.099 --> 01:04:01.019
the time, rewrote it, tried to get a better movie,

01:04:01.159 --> 01:04:03.300
tried to get a better political satire out there,

01:04:03.460 --> 01:04:06.599
who knows where this movie could have gone. It

01:04:06.599 --> 01:04:08.500
could have been one of the better rom -coms out

01:04:08.500 --> 01:04:10.920
there. Instead, it's one of the worst ones of

01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:12.980
all time. And, of course, we had to cover it

01:04:12.980 --> 01:04:19.710
on the show. So, yeah. 0 .5 nails out of a nail

01:04:19.710 --> 01:04:26.489
gun going into a gondola out of five. Star -studded

01:04:26.489 --> 01:04:30.110
cast that was wasted. I think, I mean, basically

01:04:30.110 --> 01:04:32.849
every single big character you knew from something,

01:04:32.929 --> 01:04:36.610
somewhere, somehow. I think making somebody like

01:04:36.610 --> 01:04:40.070
Jake Gyllenhaal like a coward, I think you wasted

01:04:40.070 --> 01:04:41.769
his potential. I think you could have definitely

01:04:41.769 --> 01:04:44.070
gone a little more Nightcrawler route where he's

01:04:44.070 --> 01:04:46.199
a little... cocky conceited that kind of thing

01:04:46.199 --> 01:04:48.639
I think that would have been fun to see Jessica

01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:53.579
Biel she felt like a joke the whole time and

01:04:53.579 --> 01:04:55.860
it's not her fault I think it's totally the writing

01:04:55.860 --> 01:04:59.300
100 % like I don't want it to seem like I'm shitting

01:04:59.300 --> 01:05:02.780
on her I think it's 100 % the writing where she

01:05:02.780 --> 01:05:05.500
just was constantly told to speak Portuguese

01:05:05.500 --> 01:05:08.980
joke about the nail in her head or get hit in

01:05:08.980 --> 01:05:13.219
the head with something so you know that feels

01:05:13.219 --> 01:05:16.679
a little on the nose with that um the only one

01:05:16.679 --> 01:05:21.119
that i think was good in this that like knew

01:05:21.119 --> 01:05:24.500
the role and played it well that it wasn't written

01:05:24.500 --> 01:05:26.340
as a complete joke was probably katherine keener

01:05:26.340 --> 01:05:29.539
uh she was probably the best role of this because

01:05:29.539 --> 01:05:33.019
she just got to be evil like she got to be conniving

01:05:33.019 --> 01:05:35.219
she got to be that kind of stuff and i think

01:05:35.219 --> 01:05:39.099
she did a very good job devouring that so um

01:05:39.099 --> 01:05:45.269
yeah So yeah, I'm very glad I went the high road

01:05:45.269 --> 01:05:47.929
and went the nails instead of, I did think at

01:05:47.929 --> 01:05:49.670
one point when I was thinking of my rating of

01:05:49.670 --> 01:05:53.610
0 .5 prolapsed anuses out of five. So yeah, went

01:05:53.610 --> 01:05:56.469
the high road and still got it anyway. But yeah,

01:05:56.510 --> 01:05:59.190
that was Accidental Love, a bad rom -com for

01:05:59.190 --> 01:06:02.210
Valentine's Day. I hope you enjoyed listening

01:06:02.210 --> 01:06:04.090

01:06:04.090 --> 01:06:06.949
big in the works. I really hope it happens. Our

01:06:06.949 --> 01:06:10.349
next episode could be something huge. I am really,

01:06:10.429 --> 01:06:14.360
really excited about it. So it's looking positive.

01:06:14.960 --> 01:06:18.480
Hopefully it's going to happen February 17th.

01:06:18.500 --> 01:06:20.780
