00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,400
Welcome to the podcast.

2
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,480
Ho, ho, ho.

3
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,800
And Merry Christmas.

4
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,120
This is the polarized podcast.

5
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,560
Happy holidays, everybody.

6
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,200
I'm glad you're joining us on this very, very episode.

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:39,200
Today, we're talking about a Christmas movie in the spirit of holidays.

8
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,280
We are today.

9
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,640
Hey, I mean, you probably saw it in the episode description,

10
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,760
but we're talking about Home Alone 2, Lost in New York.

11
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,200
I would think it was pretty, you know, pretty important movie

12
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,480
for a lot of people are age demo and rightfully so.

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,840
It's yeah, this whole series is a big deal.

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,640
And we're going to talk about it.

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,200
The score here for Home Alone 2, Lost in New York that came out in 1992.

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,200
We have a 35, a stinky,

17
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:12,080
correct score and a 62 percent audience score.

18
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,320
So I think people were, you know, feeling a little bit, you know,

19
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,360
they were starting to feel like the cash grabbiness of this, I think.

20
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,440
But overall, I think if you talk to most people about it, they're like,

21
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,560
I like that one.

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,440
It's a great sequel.

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,760
And we're going to get into it.

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,120
We're going to talk about it.

25
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,440
It's that's what we do here.

26
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,080
So it's not going to be just me talking, though.

27
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,920
This is this is a two-hander.

28
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,280
If you're a person's insider lingo for anybody out there,

29
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:41,320
it's not just me.

30
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:42,800
I have a co-host.

31
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,880
We also like to refer to him as the forever guest.

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,120
His name is Mr. James Lindsay.

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,240
All right, well, it looks like I made it all made it all the way to Miami

34
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,560
for the holidays.

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,640
It looks like I'm going to have a great family vacation with Kara.

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,960
Well, we're going to wait.

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,520
Did it?

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,920
Kara, did we forget something?

39
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:03,520
It's all past.

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:03,880
Did we?

41
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,720
Do we forget something to our honor on our Miami holiday?

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,960
Brent Brandini.

43
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,200
Where's Kevin?

44
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,200
Brandini.

45
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,320
Where's Kevin?

46
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,200
I'm sorry, Brandi.

47
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,160
And I'm all the way in Miami, Florida now.

48
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,280
Looks like you're going to have to podcast alone.

49
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,280
You aren't.

50
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,920
Well, that's, you know what?

51
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:24,000
Hey, that was the brakes.

52
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,640
All right, James, I'll see you later.

53
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:27,680
All right, talk to you later.

54
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,840
I'm going to go hang out and watch.

55
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,000
It's a wonderful life in Spanish.

56
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,520
In Spanish, while it's raining outside,

57
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,040
and they made a Miami look like not fun.

58
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,920
Mission accomplished on the man,

59
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:44,280
the whole family couldn't get out of Miami quick enough.

60
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,720
You would have assumed, hey, you know what?

61
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,200
They would have had, you know, some.

62
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,440
A little bit of fun, but you know what?

63
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,000
They don't deserve it because they keep leaving their God team.

64
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,560
Yeah, they're all jerks to him.

65
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,400
That's what they get.

66
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,080
That's what they get.

67
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,680
Yeah, that's what they get to.

68
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,360
For him not to be around.

69
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,680
I was going to ask you, Brandon,

70
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,480
would you prefer to be in Miami or New York for Christmas?

71
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,240
Christmas, take me to Miami.

72
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,240
Oh, you would like to go.

73
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,240
So this movie didn't completely work on you.

74
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,120
It didn't completely work on me because I know.

75
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,920
It was a miss on me though.

76
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:18,480
Yeah, you betcha.

77
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,480
You bet your six.

78
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,960
Oh, you betcha, you bet your sweet bottom dollar

79
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,240
that some worked on my ass.

80
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,200
Yeah, no, I would go to Miami, you know, I love the idea.

81
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,640
I was just listening to the other night.

82
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:36,840
I've just been man housing Christmas music over at the Stables household.

83
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,320
And I love me.

84
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,640
Jimmy Buffett's Christmas Island.

85
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,120
Christmas album to death.

86
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,120
It's my it's I think it might be my favorite.

87
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,880
It's either in competition.

88
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,440
It's either Buffett or Bing.

89
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,280
I mean, they're buffeting for for Christmas.

90
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,280
Love me. No brown.

91
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,640
A little bit of brown, but no BB, no beach boys.

92
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,240
Boys, the beach.

93
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,240
Hey, you know what?

94
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,960
I'm making tough choices when deciding my favorite, you know, it is

95
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,120
because I love them all to death.

96
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,760
The ones that you've mentioned.

97
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,920
It's not like I don't like them.

98
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,560
But if I were to, you know, you put it, you know,

99
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,520
hey, come on, you don't like me being come on.

100
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,920
I love you, Bing.

101
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,000
You know, you're my favorite.

102
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,240
Come on, this is this

103
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,760
Buffett character that you're talking about sounds like a fun guy.

104
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,120
Let me tell you, Jaime Buffett is a fun guy.

105
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,840
But yeah, let's bring our guests in as well.

106
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:40,520
Yeah, let's get. Oh, absolutely. Christmas.

107
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,520
Ho, ho, ho.

108
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,520
It's a real gift, if you will, for this episode.

109
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,160
Yes, I agree.

110
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,720
She is currently residing underneath the Christmas tree.

111
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,720
So, you know.

112
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,240
That it's that time of year.

113
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,240
It's that time of year.

114
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,360
Very special guests.

115
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:04,440
My wife now of this year of July Christmas, it was Christmas in July.

116
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,520
And one Kara Lindsay.

117
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,040
Yes. Yes.

118
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:10,840
Yes.

119
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:14,040
Is that really the truth that you haven't been on since the wedding?

120
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:20,360
Because last week, so last year on was for don't worry, darling, right?

121
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,360
Was the yeah.

122
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,360
That's the last one of the opera.

123
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:30,080
Oh, oh, I guess we were we were entwined.

124
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,640
We were engaged.

125
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:32,880
Oh, it's a Luna.

126
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,000
It's a Luna into the picture.

127
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,560
We got to get again.

128
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,000
Probably heard her during Brandon's intro.

129
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,760
She has made her way to the car.

130
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,400
And she loves that when you do that.

131
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,800
She's secretly. Oh my gosh.

132
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,800
She's so.

133
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,920
She starts just vocalizing and being me.

134
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:51,440
Me.

135
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,360
When you go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

136
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,400
Brandon's kind of the same way.

137
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,320
You got to like hold him every once in a while.

138
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,520
You do.

139
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,200
You do.

140
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,000
Or else I'm going to shut the fuck up.

141
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,120
No, I won't.

142
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,120
Yeah.

143
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,800
Shut me up, please.

144
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,800
Well, with our special guests, I was wondering if we could bring back

145
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,920
a segment that you introduced to the podcast, Brandini, a little

146
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,200
what's everyone watching?

147
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,200
Oh, I would love that.

148
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,960
Oh, and, you know, can we put a little bit of spin on this?

149
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,120
I would love to hear maybe kind of.

150
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,000
Something related like maybe you are watching something to Christmas.

151
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,400
So I would love to hear your top Christmas movie

152
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,720
and kind of have that in the mix, if possible.

153
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,920
Well, maybe one of us should bring up Princess.

154
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,480
I guess I am right now, but the Princess Switch saga.

155
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,680
We we recently took part in with our good friend Blarge,

156
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,880
AKA Corey Blarge senior.

157
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,960
We we had a birthday celebration because he is kind of a Christmas

158
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,800
baby Christmas Eve baby and Jesus Christ.

159
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:58,640
He is.

160
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,160
Yeah, he is.

161
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,040
He has come again.

162
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,080
And we watch.

163
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,040
More ways than one.

164
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,320
Yeah. OK, Brandon, calm down, man.

165
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,480
Come down there.

166
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,400
And he introduced us to the Princess Switch trilogy of movies.

167
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,280
Would you guys think of those?

168
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,760
I loved it.

169
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,600
I'm Kara same.

170
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,320
Or how did you feel?

171
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,000
That's what it's called, right?

172
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,920
Princess Switch with Vanessa Hudgens.

173
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Switched again. Switched again.

174
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,840
Yeah. What do you think?

175
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,640
I did you enjoy it?

176
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:28,600
I enjoyed it.

177
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,040
I. I don't know if I'll rewatch them, but I enjoyed them.

178
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:38,320
But by the third, so there's two Vanessa Hudgens.

179
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,160
Oh, interesting. Oh, wow.

180
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,160
And they switch by the and by the third movie,

181
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,720
there's a third Vanessa Hudgens by the second two.

182
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,840
There's an. Yeah, there's another.

183
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:48,600
That's right. Isn't.

184
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,080
Yeah, the third one just goes more into that third third one.

185
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,040
But. I found it entertaining.

186
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,240
I did, too.

187
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,680
What would you guys say is your favorite out of the bunch?

188
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,480
I haven't seen the third one yet.

189
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,280
So I really like number two is my favorite.

190
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,360
Yeah, that's probably the right answer.

191
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,640
There's something about three that I was surprised how much I liked

192
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,160
because it goes more into the evil evil.

193
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,800
Oh, man, I'm so excited to watch it.

194
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,640
Like a side of her story a bit.

195
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,160
I feel like there's a lot going on and keeping track sometimes

196
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,600
in this in that movie of figuring out.

197
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,400
Oh, wait, so who switched with who now?

198
00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:38,120
But yeah, you're probably probably right with the second one.

199
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,920
It definitely is filmed better than the first.

200
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,760
Do you have a take on that car?

201
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,680
Yeah, I was going to say with each one,

202
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:46,520
the production value just seems to get a little better.

203
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,800
The first one was like really bright, lighting wise.

204
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,960
And the second one was kind of dark,

205
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,560
lighting wise.

206
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:57,960
And I think the third one was just right.

207
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,000
Oh, those are the.

208
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,120
Large, large, large, that's exciting to hear

209
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,440
because it was aggressive on both ends of the spectrum

210
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,720
in the first and the second, where I think we even joked about it

211
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,760
is like the first one was so lit that there was no shadows anywhere.

212
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,800
No, everything, everything in the whole room.

213
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,440
Everything was clear, very clear.

214
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,240
It's like things in the background are just lit to shit.

215
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,040
And then the second one got so dark.

216
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,840
Yeah, so dark by like candlelight.

217
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,880
You can barely see some stuff.

218
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,280
And yeah, it was filmed by candlelight.

219
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,800
So it's exciting to hear that the third one is like the Goldilocks of the bunch.

220
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,640
Oh, lighting finally hits a strikes a balance

221
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,880
that makes it seem a little bit more natural all in all.

222
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,640
To say the third one was probably my favorite

223
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,400
just because you go on this journey and I feel like the third one, you

224
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,760
know, it just felt like there was more depth to it.

225
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,760
Like there is a backstory about this character

226
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,640
and a little more heart, a little more heart.

227
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,040
And yeah, it was it was kind of entertaining.

228
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,200
Like there's always something going on.

229
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,520
Yeah, I like very much.

230
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,560
I'm surprised how much I like people, Vanessa.

231
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:18,480
Me too, man.

232
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,920
I really like her as well because it's such like overacting.

233
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,040
That's really like delicious.

234
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,760
Works so well. Yeah.

235
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,800
Yeah, I think Sam or Sam or Corey said very correlative ill.

236
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,520
And yeah, very. Yes.

237
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,000
It's funny to think that she makes a meal out of that character.

238
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,360
And yum, yum, yum.

239
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,200
I'm down to have that meal because it's like

240
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:47,040
she is acting with every fiber of her being, it seems like, on that character.

241
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:52,760
Like there's just little like she just I love her whole body is that person.

242
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,080
Yeah, her walks. She is giving it all.

243
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,760
I love that. I love that.

244
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,240
Yeah, I mean, I'm so down and like it's funny.

245
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:07,520
OK, so that like to distill that concept is really interesting to see it applied

246
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,360
to movies in other in another regard, which is like overall.

247
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,320
And we're kind of speaking to this, but like kind of bad,

248
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,080
which would say quote unquote bad movies, right?

249
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,760
Like there's a lot of things wrong with it. A lot of, you know,

250
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,760
it's it's not well made, but it's always like you.

251
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,520
At least I would I'm surmising is like you lean towards the positive

252
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,960
if you feel like everybody's trying really hard,

253
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,520
even if they're failing miserably.

254
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,920
It like to see people try hard is really wonderful.

255
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,720
And really like you can kind of buy into it more easily.

256
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,600
Like, you know what, even though this is not well made,

257
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,000
I I will give the movie a benefit of the doubt

258
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,080
because I feel like people are like giving their all and really going into it.

259
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,680
And it's always so funny when people try to make up like purposely

260
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:02,520
make a bad movie and then miss that like core concept

261
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:07,600
where people who are trying to make a bad movie make it very ridiculous and plotting.

262
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:12,000
But they don't like they don't focus on actually a lot of it has to do with

263
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,800
the heart and the like tenacity that people have at the base level of the characters.

264
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:22,240
And so, yeah, like it's that that is enjoyable about that series.

265
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,040
And something I latched onto it is I'm into watching Vanessa Hudgens

266
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,600
play these three characters at a point.

267
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,800
And yeah, really acting her butt off.

268
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:34,040
And I and I commend her for it.

269
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,280
She knew what she was signing up for and she committed to that.

270
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,120
And I have to say that is admirable.

271
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,360
It is. It was it was a lot.

272
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,200
It was a lot of Vanessa. It is. It's a lot.

273
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:48,880
So.

274
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,240
What would you say your favorite Christmas movie is?

275
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,720
Oh, but you can give me maybe two or three that you really like.

276
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,960
And we can kind of just go that route because I know and people ask me this all the time.

277
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:03,680
And I don't know.

278
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:05,840
I kind of always feel bad asking other people.

279
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,080
But, you know, when people are like, what is your favorite this?

280
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,880
Right. It's a tough question.

281
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:11,600
Yeah. So.

282
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,400
Yeah, on the spot, it can be tough.

283
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,120
So don't feel so inclined that you have to pick the pen ultimate.

284
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,480
But if you want to throw out some like what you really love out there,

285
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:22,800
we can talk about that and I'd be excited to hear.

286
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,760
I don't I can give you some time.

287
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,080
I mean, why don't you say, yeah, a couple like how the Grinch

288
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,800
stole Christmas with Jim Carrey.

289
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,800
Great one. I might be mine.

290
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:41,400
Yeah, it's entered into the beyond of just really like Christmas movies.

291
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,400
I'm always excited to revisit.

292
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,440
You know, you never watch them outside of Christmas,

293
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,920
but when Christmas comes around, you're like, man, yeah, I kind of get to I get.

294
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,560
I have a great reason to watch this movie.

295
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:55,280
And yeah, how the Grinch stole this one.

296
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,400
And then also the Santa Claus, the first one.

297
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,040
I mean, you're just listing off my yeah, on my classic.

298
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:02,720
Big fan of the Santa.

299
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:08,600
I weirdly, it's not weird because most people, I guess, grow our age or like

300
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,440
secretively have a Tim Allen obsession. And I kind of do.

301
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,040
There's a lot of Tim Allen performances that I'm really into, you know,

302
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,080
I like it because he reminds me now at this point in my life so much.

303
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,920
My dad is like comedy and sensibilities.

304
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,600
And I feel like my dad's comedy was also just informed by Tim Allen

305
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,480
because he was a stand up like, you know, my dad would have said like

306
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,680
Tim Allen as a stand up is probably like a notable thing of like, oh,

307
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,840
this guy's, you know, really funny converting into movie stardom.

308
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,520
And the Santa Claus is cool.

309
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:40,520
I like it a lot.

310
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,520
My dad likes that one, I think too, because of Tim Allen and there's enough

311
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:45,720
of him in it.

312
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,720
I wouldn't be surprised if he's in like every scene almost that

313
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,760
dads can sit down and enjoy a nice family, family feature as well.

314
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,400
Like, you know, he fucks up dinner and has to take him to like Denny's

315
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,560
or whatever at the beginning, like all that good stuff.

316
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,680
And I yeah, that that one and Grinch are some of my most

317
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,280
watch, I'd say, and also like the claymation movies.

318
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,360
I have a real fondness for like Rudolph the Red Norse reindeer

319
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,800
and Island of Misfit toys and.

320
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,800
Sure.

321
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,240
Yeah, whatever.

322
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,440
All those all those movies with like Mickey Rooney, Snowman introducing

323
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,440
a lot of them and all that.

324
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,680
So all those sets of movies are just really like hit hit me in a

325
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,600
in that sweet spot for Christmas and Charlie Brown sort of way too.

326
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,720
How do you do you guys love Muppet Christmas Carol?

327
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,720
Because I'm a huge fan of that as well.

328
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,120
Always good. Always.

329
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,120
I watched that a lot growing up.

330
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,120
Me too, man. Me too.

331
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,920
It was it was my go to movie when I was sick as like probably between

332
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:54,160
the ages of like five and seven, maybe I want to say, like if I because

333
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,240
the whole thing I don't know about you guys, but if I was sick from school,

334
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,680
I wasn't allowed to like play video games or do anything like that.

335
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,680
I wanted to do. It was like you're sick.

336
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,680
You have to be sick.

337
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,680
And so that means like sleeping, drinking water and like you can watch

338
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:15,600
a movie, you know, and I always was down for even and this, you know,

339
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,760
mind you, like six season core like corresponds with Christmas.

340
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,040
But it's it's a movie that I would I in my life have watched plenty of

341
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,600
times outside of Christmas.

342
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:32,080
Yeah, I those that fit that bill are an interesting bunch too,

343
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,040
because I just I watched love actually earlier this year.

344
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,720
Love that. Outside of Christmas.

345
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,320
I watched the holiday before Christmas, like way before.

346
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,880
Stop. Let's talk holiday, which we've had on done on this pod.

347
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,720
Oh, yeah. Was I maybe a part of that?

348
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,280
Maybe I was a part of that.

349
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,280
Oh my God.

350
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,280
I was like, oh, I'm sorry.

351
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,000
Maybe I was a part of that. Oh my God.

352
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Maybe. Maybe.

353
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Is this stage of holiday?

354
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,680
Voo. We don't even know our own lore.

355
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,200
I know, right? We need a stenographer.

356
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,720
Now we need what do we need?

357
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,200
We need a cataloger.

358
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,560
They actually have the auto generate transcripts on on.

359
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,280
I've been auto generate transcripts to every episode.

360
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,560
So there's a transcript.

361
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,560
We have a stenographer technically.

362
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,600
Anyhow, what a time to be alive, isn't it?

363
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,760
It is. You know, someone could react out our whole podcast.

364
00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:30,960
Oh, please do it and send us the video.

365
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,960
We would love that. So interesting.

366
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,360
So out of the movies that we talked about, Kara,

367
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:37,160
which one do you would stand out?

368
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,360
Yeah, not even your favorite.

369
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:39,360
You know, the ones I mentioned.

370
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:40,800
I love all the ones you mentioned.

371
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,200
Muppets Christmas Carol.

372
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,360
I rewatched that somewhat recently.

373
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:46,160
Yeah, we did that one recently.

374
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,160
It's so good.

375
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,760
It was very nostalgic, but it's not some.

376
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,360
It's not something that I'm like.

377
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,560
Wanting to rewatch again and I and I'm so I don't know

378
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,160
if other people feel this way, but it wasn't until recently

379
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,960
that I started rewatching things.

380
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,960
James knows this about me, but I have a hard time rewatching

381
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,400
things like.

382
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,640
Oh, you're one of those.

383
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:08,920
I don't think I know that.

384
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,400
I have a couple of friends that are like that.

385
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,040
And it's it's such a weird concept to me.

386
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,080
Yeah, so where's yeah, you're like, no, I saw it.

387
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:16,880
Okay, I got it.

388
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,960
Like that's like there it is.

389
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,160
Every once in a while, I'll be like, oh, I feel like watching

390
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,560
something nostalgic, but.

391
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:28,880
I think maybe as I get older, I'm more into like rewatching

392
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:29,280
things.

393
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,920
But so when you ask about the Christmas movie thing.

394
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,480
Every year, I like to find a new Christmas movie to watch.

395
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,680
So I can name a couple of things I've watched because it's

396
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,320
like it still has that same feeling of like Christmas movies.

397
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,880
It's just with a new story or like something where I can be

398
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,680
surprised, like I just don't want to know how it ends.

399
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,920
So I like that excitement of being like, oh, I don't know

400
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:55,800
what's going to happen.

401
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,520
And like, I might cry here because I don't know what's

402
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,480
going to happen or yeah.

403
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:07,200
So I mean, recently I watched the last Christmas with her

404
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,160
name, but she's.

405
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:09,880
Amelia Clark.

406
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:10,800
Yeah.

407
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,560
And it's like a movie, right?

408
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:14,320
Yeah.

409
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,280
And then Emma Thompson to wrote it and she's also in it as

410
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:17,840
well.

411
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:19,240
Oh my God.

412
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:19,640
Wow.

413
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:20,520
She wrote it.

414
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:21,960
She wrote it.

415
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:22,320
Yeah.

416
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:22,800
Cool.

417
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,480
That's incredible.

418
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,000
She's like nominated maybe one for like sense and

419
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,440
sensibility or something, which she also I think wrote.

420
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:28,760
Yeah.

421
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,680
And she's a very decorated actress, right?

422
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,760
Decorated and writer too.

423
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:35,040
Yeah.

424
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:35,760
It's so yeah.

425
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:36,200
Oh yeah.

426
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,600
She's just been doing she's been yeah, acting and writing

427
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,040
and being in plays and stuff.

428
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,560
Well, she's got a lot of ornaments on her.

429
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,440
She's very decorating.

430
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,560
Yeah, it's like yeah, like two days Fridays.

431
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,480
There's a lot of flair.

432
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:52,960
That's amazing.

433
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,560
I love that sensibility though.

434
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,120
Yes.

435
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,600
Yeah, I mean, but every year for you, it could, you know,

436
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,480
it yeah, you're welcoming something new.

437
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:04,680
Yeah.

438
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,480
And I still do like watch like Christmas movies over again,

439
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,560
but like I won't watch like the Grinch every year.

440
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,280
I watched it.

441
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,880
I rewatched it like maybe a couple years ago, so I don't

442
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,920
feel the need to rewatch it until like a couple years later.

443
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:22,360
A couple years.

444
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:23,200
Yeah, no fair.

445
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,440
No, totally fair.

446
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:24,920
Yeah.

447
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,120
Now, how do you know?

448
00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:28,760
Definitely is like one of the most rewatchable for me.

449
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:29,360
Yeah.

450
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,640
Because every Christmas you look at the list, you're like, oh,

451
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,800
yeah, they I've seen these all of these so many times like

452
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,560
Christmas vacation and I've seen Christmas vacation the most

453
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,320
for sure.

454
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,240
The same clause, whatever it may be.

455
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,480
So being able to go through the motions a bit while having

456
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,320
a little Christmas eggnog or working on a puzzle or something

457
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,160
like those in the background is always, I don't know.

458
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:51,520
Yeah.

459
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,360
So it's so nice.

460
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:53,400
Yeah, like that kind of thing.

461
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,160
Like wallpaper and it's like another part of like a fire or

462
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:56,840
something too.

463
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:58,400
What were you going to ask?

464
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,640
Well, now I want to ask have you guys had eggnog this year

465
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:07,880
because I just recently went through a carton myself and I was

466
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,840
at the grocery store earlier today and it's totally so

467
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:11,840
totally sold out of it.

468
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:13,440
Wow.

469
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,440
Is there a specific brand you buy or?

470
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,440
No, not necessarily.

471
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,440
A brand on if you will.

472
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,240
Brand on eggnog.

473
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,040
Brand on eggnog.

474
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,640
I like that a lot.

475
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,440
Go ahead and look out for that next Christmas.

476
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,040
Brandons eggnog.

477
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:40,240
This year I got the coconut milk eggnog and I saw that coffee

478
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:40,840
morning.

479
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,040
I love eggnog with coffee.

480
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:43,440
It's pretty tasty.

481
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,040
Yeah.

482
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,440
Coffee creamer is the best, yeah.

483
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,840
It's so good as a coffee creamer.

484
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:48,640
My God.

485
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,040
Such a good move.

486
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,840
Just reminds you a little bit that it's Christmas.

487
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:52,640
You put each sip.

488
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,040
You're just like, oh, there's a lot.

489
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,840
Each sip.

490
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,240
We try to make like some cocktails with the eggnog as well,

491
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,640
which mine didn't go super well, but yours isn't pretty.

492
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,240
You just put it with some brandy, I think.

493
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,440
Right, I mean, that's classic way to do it.

494
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,440
But that's, I mean, I'm currently drinking a cider.

495
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,240
That feels festive as well.

496
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,840
It feels festive.

497
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,840
Nice.

498
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaking of festive.

499
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,240
Yeah.

500
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:25,240
So you're not really home, but you're alone.

501
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,240
Alone.

502
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,240
In a big city.

503
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,240
In a big city.

504
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,240
Alone, in a crowded room.

505
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,240
Let's talk about this movie.

506
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,240
Yeah, let's get it home alone.

507
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,240
Poor Kevin, man.

508
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,240
History with this movie.

509
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,240
Can I start?

510
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,240
I'll just start.

511
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,240
Oh, yeah.

512
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,240
Because this was a real classic.

513
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,240
For me.

514
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,240
Like we've been having all this buildup of discussions about Christmas movies.

515
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,240
And this one fits absolutely like within all the pantheon we just discuss.

516
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:59,240
Like this is right there next to the Grinch and the Santa Claus for me because this one.

517
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:06,240
I, I've seen more than the first one because we had this one on VHS growing up and I just

518
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,240
watched it.

519
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:12,240
I'm pretty sure outside of Christmas as well, because I would love to see his hijinks and

520
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,240
him fucking with Marvin Harry.

521
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,240
And in that big, big house warehouse setting.

522
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,240
And then he just would go out in the big city as well.

523
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:29,240
But this one really means a lot to me and has been rewatched many times by me.

524
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:37,240
There's something about the combination of Christopher Columbus and John Williams.

525
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,240
I, and we were joking about it.

526
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,240
Walk, watching it together.

527
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,240
I mean,

528
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,240
John Hughes, man.

529
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:49,240
And John Hughes, the Hughes of the John varietal as well, but the Williams, the Williams, the

530
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,240
Williams to fuck.

531
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,240
I don't think I knew that Williams was the score on this.

532
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,240
That makes sense.

533
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,240
The score is going off in this.

534
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:01,240
I kept on just turning the car and being like this, this music is just like ripping right

535
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,240
now.

536
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,240
And it just, it would elevate every single scene so much.

537
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:12,240
And it was, I think it was already, you know, a fun holiday movie, but there would be, you

538
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:17,240
know, it's a little bit of action going on screen, but the music would just be ripping

539
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,240
in between like different parts of the orchestra, like, okay, violence.

540
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,240
Okay.

541
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,240
A little bit of the percussion.

542
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,240
Okay.

543
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,240
Some, oh, some creepy little oboe.

544
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,240
Like, I don't know.

545
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,740
It would just jump around so much and it was so whimsical.

546
00:24:28,740 --> 00:24:31,080
Some of it felt like a Star Wars battle.

547
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,240
Like some of it felt like some Jurassic Jurassic Park and some, I don't know.

548
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,240
There was other, other parts like Indiana Jones or something.

549
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,240
And that's just the magic of, of that man as, Oh, Harry Potter was the one.

550
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,240
The main one I was going to bring up because of the Christopher Columbus comparison and

551
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:54,240
having that combination of things during Christmas time was just a real, real cozy feeling in

552
00:24:54,240 --> 00:25:02,240
a sonic sort of auditorial olfactory sort of way that I just globbled onto in a sense

553
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,240
memory sort of thing too.

554
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:12,240
As a child, I think just, I could, I could go on and on.

555
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,240
But I'm jumping around a lot, I think, I think sound is a good place to start for me and

556
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,240
just the history of being more familiar with this one than the first one.

557
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:27,240
And then as I grew older, I would go back to the first one a lot and kind of make those

558
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,240
connections of like, Oh, the M on his hand.

559
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,240
I remember that now I get in.

560
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:37,240
But yeah, you guys go ahead before I just ramble too much.

561
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,240
No, no, no.

562
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,240
Yeah.

563
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,240
I mean, I don't know if this, I have a strong.

564
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:47,240
I have a strong sense that this wasn't as played as much as you as in your household.

565
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:53,240
But I do remember the first one being something we had on VHS.

566
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,240
Yeah.

567
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:59,240
So the so coming to this movie, I don't know if I had as strong of affinity that most people

568
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,240
that I've talked to about it have with this movie.

569
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:07,240
But it's not like I hadn't seen it or wasn't aware of it because I think overall this

570
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:14,240
this franchise is enormous and is such an important movie franchise.

571
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:20,240
Realistically, it's so interesting to do this in close proximity to McCauley.

572
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:26,240
Colkin just got his Walk of Fame star in Hollywood.

573
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:33,240
And just to hear like Catherine O'Hara talk about him and just watch this movie again and

574
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,240
having recently watched the first one.

575
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:43,240
Man, it really watching this one in particular again, just made me like kind of go, man,

576
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,240
as a kid, I'm feeling this inside of me.

577
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:52,240
Man, I really like the fact that he's able to eat all this ice cream, you know, prick

578
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,240
all of these adults and all this money.

579
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:01,240
Like I even to even as an adult now when he gets into the limo.

580
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,240
Oh, my God.

581
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,240
With a cheese pizza.

582
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,240
When they open that.

583
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:12,240
And I was like, oh, my God, that's cool.

584
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:18,240
And so, yeah, I yeah, I would just preface that I wasn't this movie wasn't the biggest

585
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:26,240
for me, but it's not like I didn't have a association with the first one in this franchise.

586
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,240
Yeah, but you, Kara, where are you at with it?

587
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:37,240
Yeah, I thought I had seen the second one a lot more than I.

588
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,240
Yeah, I just realized I hadn't seen it as much as I thought I did.

589
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:46,240
So like things were coming back to me, but then I was also experiencing things like as

590
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,240
if it was new again.

591
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,240
So yeah, I can't remember.

592
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:55,240
I must have watched the first one more than the second one, but I thought it was the other

593
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,240
way around.

594
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,240
I have a connection with the strong connection with the third one.

595
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:05,240
And I don't even remember what happens in the third one or if I've ever seen the third

596
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,240
one, the main character.

597
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:12,240
Yeah, I went to school with the little boy from Home Alone 3.

598
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,240
Max Keable.

599
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,240
Yeah, Max Keable.

600
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,240
That's fine.

601
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,240
So I've been meaning to rewatch that one.

602
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:25,240
I remember enjoying that one a lot too as a as a little stinker kid that would love

603
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,240
to be like that one.

604
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:32,240
And I watched Dennis the menace a lot growing up and just I love that one with

605
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,240
Winston checks in.

606
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,240
Rich, rich, blank check.

607
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,240
Oh, yeah.

608
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,240
I mean, yeah, Richie Richie Rich Rich Rich.

609
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:48,240
But yeah, all of these movies where kids get kids get adults credit card or a lot of

610
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:54,240
man, it is thrilling as a child to see that, you know, the possibilities.

611
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,240
It just made me think of like.

612
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:03,240
Watching back in the day, the Toys R Us like Cart Run or whatever happened, whatever

613
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:09,240
was called, where was it just a whole show where you had a certain amount of time and

614
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,240
you've got everything that you put in your in your cart.

615
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,240
And I forgot about that.

616
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,240
I just I always remember like, well, if I was on that show, I'd just go right to the

617
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,240
video game section and just get everything because it's like, you know, really expensive

618
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,240
and it's really what I want.

619
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:30,240
And, you know, and it's the same goes for blank check to that movie where, yeah, you

620
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:38,240
just get like video games, pizza, candy, soda, go cards, water slides.

621
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,240
The Mo driver has like a father figure.

622
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:49,240
It just reminds me of like, that's what the 90s was like, you know, we had like, it was

623
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:54,240
like, buy, buy, buy all this stuff, get people, like even the Ninja Turtles have like pizza,

624
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,240
you know, like it was such like a 90s thing.

625
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,240
They were so commercialized.

626
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,240
Yeah.

627
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,240
And like a lot of product placement, a lot of product place.

628
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:10,240
Ninja Turtles would have a meal at Taco Bell or like, you know, that kind of stuff.

629
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,240
Or just like Saturday, Saturday morning cartoons and all the toy commercials.

630
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:21,240
Like, you got to get the slime or you got to get, you know, G.I. Joe or something.

631
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,240
I just, yeah, like that was the 90s to me is like, just buy all these things.

632
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,240
It's weird to say it's like kind of like the height of the monoculture before things get

633
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,240
into the internet.

634
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,240
So it's start to get afraid a bit.

635
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,240
I know that point's probably been over made a lot, but in my mind with, with all of that

636
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:44,240
kind of consumerism hitting ahead and in that sort of way, we're all kind of aware of the

637
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:52,240
same things and moving towards a place where things are much more based on your demo as

638
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,240
you would say, Brandon.

639
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,240
Yes, as an advertiser.

640
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,240
Yes, you would know that's so interesting of a point to bring up though.

641
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:05,240
That was actually how I, that's how I viewed the movie when we were watching it.

642
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:10,240
I don't know why I had that like lens on, but the whole time I was like, they're like

643
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,240
promoting the Plaza hotel.

644
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,240
They're promoting like the Visa credit card.

645
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,240
Like they're showing it there.

646
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,240
He's drinking Coca Cola and like Donald Trump is in it.

647
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:28,240
And like just, it was such just like, I don't know, like they glamorized like having a lot

648
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:34,240
of money and like spending a lot of money on toys and limousines and just, yeah.

649
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,240
You know, that was a glorious shot of the code for sure.

650
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,240
Yeah.

651
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:45,240
And it was interesting too that there is also this weird undercurrent that the uncle is a

652
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:50,240
cheapskate and he's taking advantage of the dad to go on this trip.

653
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:56,240
So there's also that element at play about culture at that point where we're starting

654
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:03,240
to see like a separation between classes where, you know, I think it's pretty apparent as

655
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:10,240
well in Christmas vacation, but also a part of our childhood is that there are dads that

656
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:15,240
are able to buy stuff and dads that aren't and having that be part of the conversation

657
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,240
as well.

658
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,240
And how do movies view that?

659
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:24,240
And it's really interesting that this movie views people who don't have the means as

660
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,240
cheapskates and moochers and kind of shitty people.

661
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,240
Because it is scary.

662
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:37,240
Scary because it really blew my mind that the uncle was so like cavalier about laughing

663
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:43,240
at his nephews like fuck with each other on the stage.

664
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,240
Like in the, in the uncle was like kind of fuck him.

665
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,240
Fuck Kevin.

666
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:48,240
He sucks.

667
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,240
That whole crowd just jumped on board with me.

668
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,240
Yeah.

669
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,240
Absolutely.

670
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,240
I know I'm coming ahead, but you know, to kind of really, this is near the.

671
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,240
Yeah.

672
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,240
Yeah.

673
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:07,240
So Cara, the hotel, you could win a trip to stay there by playing ding, dang, dong.

674
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,240
Oh yeah.

675
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:15,240
What a dumb name for a different, but it's like, all he learns about it too is through

676
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,240
an advertisement.

677
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,240
Yeah.

678
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,240
For an advertisement for a celebrity ding, dang, dong.

679
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,240
I wonder how that game's played.

680
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,240
The setup here is familiar.

681
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,240
It's similar to the first one.

682
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,240
A lot of the beats of this movie very similar for sure.

683
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:37,240
Have those callbacks, but I don't know.

684
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,240
It just, it works on me still at this moment.

685
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:45,240
It's directed well and has the, the one school nature of the score and everything too.

686
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,240
You're familiar with the roles a bit of buzz and Kevin.

687
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,240
It's the holidays again.

688
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,240
They make it an annual trip.

689
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,240
Yeah.

690
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,240
His dad, I don't know man with that house and taking annual trips like this.

691
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,240
Like he must do something interesting.

692
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:04,240
And they have the whole, the, what's that?

693
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,240
John heard the dad.

694
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,240
Pretty famous actor.

695
00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:14,240
Well, yeah, him and Catherine, the hero together is, is a, is a excellent combo.

696
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:17,240
The family dynamic is played really well.

697
00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:21,240
Thanks to, I think, yeah, all the John Hughes and Chris, Chris Columbus of it all.

698
00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:23,240
And the Chris Columbus of it all for sure.

699
00:34:23,240 --> 00:34:25,240
There is a, he is so in for it.

700
00:34:25,240 --> 00:34:32,240
He is so interesting as a filmmaker where he operates in this like weird humor and

701
00:34:32,240 --> 00:34:35,240
kid family humor at the same time.

702
00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:42,240
I was constantly like, people are dot, like getting like named.

703
00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:46,240
And then it's like, and Christmas.

704
00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:48,240
Wow.

705
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:55,240
Like this, the sensibility of this movie or the ethos of it is so fucking bizarre.

706
00:34:55,240 --> 00:34:58,240
It almost sounded like you're going to start singing the Tom Petty Christmas

707
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:01,240
song, which I forgot, had forgotten about until watching this again.

708
00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:04,240
And I realized that I also really like that song.

709
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:06,240
I like that song.

710
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:07,240
Yeah.

711
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:10,240
It's Christmas all over again.

712
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:12,240
Sorry, you got to hear me sing.

713
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:14,240
No, it's okay.

714
00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:21,240
If we could, I don't know if you guys watch this video, watch this video,

715
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:26,240
but I posted a video that is in the movie that is also, I'm going to make a

716
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:29,240
activity for us so we can watch it together.

717
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:34,240
But this is really at the core when I'm talking about with the absolute

718
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:39,240
bizarre on this of this movie where.

719
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:40,240
Okay.

720
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:42,240
Are you guys.

721
00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:46,240
In the activity we're going to do everybody in.

722
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:48,240
Yep.

723
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:50,240
James.

724
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:52,240
Getting there. Sorry.

725
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:54,240
Okay.

726
00:35:54,240 --> 00:36:00,240
So this is the movie that plays within the movie.

727
00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:02,240
And this is a.

728
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:07,240
So in the original movie, there was angels with filthy souls.

729
00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:12,240
And this is in the movie.

730
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:16,240
And I, my job was on the floor watching this because I couldn't believe the

731
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:20,240
content that it is like what it is, what it's about, you know, what,

732
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:22,240
what is shown in it.

733
00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:24,240
You'll set.

734
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:26,240
I don't know why I'm having such a hard time.

735
00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:28,240
Is it just the link right here?

736
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:29,240
No, in the activity.

737
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:31,240
I'm in an activity.

738
00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:34,240
I don't know why I can't get into this activity right now.

739
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:37,240
If you hover over.

740
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:40,240
Okay, okay, okay, okay.

741
00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:42,240
These dang activities.

742
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:43,240
Okay, I think I'm here.

743
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:44,240
I'm here.

744
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:45,240
Let's do it.

745
00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:47,240
Hold it right there.

746
00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:49,240
It's me, Johnny.

747
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:51,240
I know it was you.

748
00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:54,240
I could smell you getting off the elevator.

749
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:56,240
You was here last night too.

750
00:36:56,240 --> 00:36:57,240
Wasn't you?

751
00:36:57,240 --> 00:36:59,240
I was here last night.

752
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:01,240
I was here last night.

753
00:37:01,240 --> 00:37:04,240
You was here last night too.

754
00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:05,240
Wasn't you?

755
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:07,240
I was singing the blue monkey last night.

756
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:09,240
You was here.

757
00:37:09,240 --> 00:37:11,240
And you were smooching with my brother.

758
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:13,240
That's a dirty lie, Johnny.

759
00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:14,240
Don't give me that.

760
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:16,240
You've been spooching with everybody.

761
00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:21,240
Snuffy, L, Leo, little Mo with the gimpy leg, cheeks,

762
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:23,240
bony Bob, Cliff.

763
00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:25,240
I could go on forever, baby.

764
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:27,240
You got me all wrong.

765
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:28,240
Forever, baby.

766
00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:30,240
I believe you.

767
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:32,240
But my tummy gone don't...

768
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:34,240
Johnny.

769
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:36,240
You're the only duck in my pond.

770
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:38,240
It's my favorite brand new song.

771
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:40,240
You're the only duck in my pond.

772
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:42,240
I'm over the moon for you.

773
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:43,240
You got it.

774
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:45,240
Do better than that.

775
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:47,240
If my love was an ocean,

776
00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:50,240
Lindy'd have to take two airplanes to get across it.

777
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:51,240
Lindy?

778
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:52,240
Did they call him that?

779
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:53,240
Maybe I mopped my hinges.

780
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:55,240
But I believe you.

781
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:58,240
That's why I'm gonna let you go.

782
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:01,240
I'm gonna give you to the count of three

783
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:04,240
to get your lousy, lion, low-down,

784
00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:07,240
fourth-flushin' carcass out my door.

785
00:38:07,240 --> 00:38:08,240
One.

786
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:10,240
Two.

787
00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:11,240
One.

788
00:38:11,240 --> 00:38:12,240
Two.

789
00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:13,240
Three.

790
00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:16,240
Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal.

791
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:19,240
And a happy new year.

792
00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:20,240
Three.

793
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:22,240
Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal.

794
00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:24,240
And a happy new year.

795
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:25,240
Three.

796
00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:27,240
Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal.

797
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:29,240
Happy new year.

798
00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:32,240
Cold blooded.

799
00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:33,240
Insane.

800
00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:34,240
Insane.

801
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:38,240
Pretty much one of the most insane things I've ever seen in my life.

802
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:40,240
So they shot that for this movie?

803
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:42,240
Is that how, is that what happened?

804
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:45,240
They had to have, because yeah, like there's,

805
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:48,240
the same guy is in the first one.

806
00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:50,240
So here's the issue, right?

807
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:53,240
So he mows down a woman with a Tommy gun.

808
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:55,240
Crazy in a family movie.

809
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:56,240
That's insane.

810
00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:59,240
First and foremost, but then also too, like,

811
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:05,240
so I get the playback from the first movie because then Kevin uses

812
00:39:05,240 --> 00:39:07,240
the sound bites to like,

813
00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:09,240
prank people, right?

814
00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:12,240
He like, workhorns it, you know, and he does that with,

815
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:16,240
he does that with, you know, with what I just showed you in the

816
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:18,240
movie with Tim Curry, who I could,

817
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:20,240
hopefully we talk an hour and a half about.

818
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:23,240
Get your hands off my sister, me, cake.

819
00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:28,240
I love you.

820
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:31,240
I love you.

821
00:39:31,240 --> 00:39:34,240
It just, yeah, he's another guy who just.

822
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:36,240
Boney Bob.

823
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:40,240
Every fiber of his being Tim Curry just breeze acting.

824
00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:42,240
And okay.

825
00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:45,240
So in the first movie, it's a play on.

826
00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:48,240
Like, you know, kind of that Humphrey Bogard where.

827
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:54,240
Chinatown asks in the first one, a guy comes into, you know,

828
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:59,240
seemingly him as a detective or no, he's like, it's really crazy

829
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:00,240
still.

830
00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:01,240
He just killed him.

831
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:04,240
The mob boss and now is taking over is actually the what's

832
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:07,240
happening there, but it's a, it's a man and another man.

833
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:09,240
This is a woman and a man.

834
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:15,240
And all it is, is him chastising the shit out of the man.

835
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:20,240
She's chastising the shit out of her and then murdering her.

836
00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:21,240
She cheated.

837
00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:24,240
She cheated on him with, with his brother Tommy.

838
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:26,240
I saw you together.

839
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:28,240
I just, I can't.

840
00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:29,240
Boney Bob and Cliff.

841
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:32,240
She's all the men that she's, she's, she's had had sex with.

842
00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:35,240
I'm not saying she deserved it, but he's upset and he lists all

843
00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:36,240
the names.

844
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:38,240
That's the one.

845
00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:41,240
And this is a long list and there's a lot of funny names.

846
00:40:41,240 --> 00:40:44,240
It's a lot of like, yeah, silly shit.

847
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:49,240
And, but yeah, I just, I can't get over the fact that, that exists

848
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:50,240
in the movie.

849
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:55,240
Cause again, it is a clip from a movie where a man kills a woman

850
00:40:55,240 --> 00:41:00,240
for it's obviously trying to show that he's going to watch a very

851
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:05,240
crass R rated movie on his opportunity to be alone and, and

852
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:07,240
and have a TV to himself.

853
00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:11,240
But that movie that he chooses seems to be a movie that his father

854
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:15,240
would choose as an 11 year old boy because it just seems so far

855
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:16,240
back.

856
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:20,240
It almost seems like he should be watching a seventies movie.

857
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:22,240
Of course he should.

858
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:26,240
You know, there's a lot of crazy fucked up, you know, video nasties

859
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:30,240
that, that occurred since before 1992.

860
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:31,240
Right.

861
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:34,240
He would have been, but there's something that's so funny.

862
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:36,240
He's an old soul.

863
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:37,240
He's an old soul.

864
00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:38,240
It is, it is saying that.

865
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:40,240
And he is an old soul.

866
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:43,240
Kara, you know what that is an excellent point.

867
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:46,240
You nailed it because he is an old soul.

868
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:52,240
The way that he handles a lot of the issues in this movie is

869
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:56,240
really funny how adult he is about it where,

870
00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:59,240
definitely adults and a murder and a murder.

871
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:00,240
Yeah.

872
00:42:00,240 --> 00:42:01,240
And a murder.

873
00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:02,240
Well, but they're murders.

874
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:04,240
It's, you know, it's kind of like, you know, it's well deserved,

875
00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:05,240
I guess.

876
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:10,240
But yeah, it is funny to think about that as him being an old

877
00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:16,240
soul where like he goes into the, into the pool area and he's

878
00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:20,240
like, does anybody mind if I work on my cannonball?

879
00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:23,240
What a little gentleman.

880
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:24,240
Yeah.

881
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:28,240
And then he loses his trunks, which I knew was going to happen

882
00:42:28,240 --> 00:42:30,240
because his trunks were too big.

883
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:31,240
Too big.

884
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:33,240
They were way too big.

885
00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:36,240
It was either that or they were going to act as like a life vest

886
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:38,240
or something and he was just going to pull them up and keep

887
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:39,240
them afloat.

888
00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:40,240
Oh my God.

889
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:45,240
He looked like how a cartoon is drawn where there's this little

890
00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:49,240
boy and these very large swim trunks and you're just like,

891
00:42:49,240 --> 00:42:51,240
you're going to, yeah, you're going to.

892
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:54,240
He's a gentleman by day, a stinker by night.

893
00:42:54,240 --> 00:43:02,240
Sounds like, you know, it sounds like Brandini's tagline as well.

894
00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:03,240
Yeah.

895
00:43:03,240 --> 00:43:07,240
Old soul by day and an ice cream muncher by night.

896
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:09,240
Oh, I'm not asking.

897
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:10,240
I love how he is.

898
00:43:10,240 --> 00:43:13,240
He's like three scoops, please.

899
00:43:13,240 --> 00:43:14,240
I'm not driving.

900
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:15,240
Yeah.

901
00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:19,240
So he got a little soul.

902
00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:22,240
That line got me this time.

903
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:26,240
I was like, I was rolled over when he said that he's like,

904
00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:28,240
I'm not driving.

905
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:31,240
He's like, seriously dude, like, yeah.

906
00:43:31,240 --> 00:43:32,240
Come on.

907
00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:38,240
Oh, so I was going to just show this one other scene where I feel

908
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:41,240
like he really, really, we don't have to watch all of it, but I

909
00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:44,240
feel like you really, I really want to talk about this.

910
00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:45,240
This is.

911
00:43:45,240 --> 00:43:49,240
Yeah, but then also is the most stilted performance ever.

912
00:43:49,240 --> 00:43:53,240
He's like, he's not even in the same room as her.

913
00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:55,240
He's just giving it her all.

914
00:43:55,240 --> 00:44:05,240
I barely understand what you're saying.

915
00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:06,240
Everybody wants to be seen.

916
00:44:06,240 --> 00:44:07,240
I get so.

917
00:44:07,240 --> 00:44:09,240
I've seen her pretty much.

918
00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:13,240
You know, it's crazy as three years before this, that woman was

919
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:14,240
in my left foot.

920
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:16,240
I wasn't always like.

921
00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:17,240
She's great.

922
00:44:17,240 --> 00:44:20,240
She had some, some real ways of doing it.

923
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:25,240
I mean, it's definitely filling that role from the first movie

924
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:28,240
of the snow, snow shovel guy.

925
00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:30,240
No, he'd like the murderer next door.

926
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:31,240
Right.

927
00:44:31,240 --> 00:44:32,240
Yeah.

928
00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:34,240
He's just weird looking according to Kevin.

929
00:44:34,240 --> 00:44:37,240
So he's just judging and then he finds out he's like, I forget

930
00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:38,240
exactly.

931
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:41,240
It's been once I'd seen it, but he's like a strange from his son.

932
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:42,240
Yeah.

933
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:43,240
Yeah.

934
00:44:43,240 --> 00:44:44,240
Yeah.

935
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:46,240
He's just like a single white guy.

936
00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:50,240
By himself, so they just assumed that he was a serial murderer.

937
00:44:50,240 --> 00:44:51,240
He's got a realistic.

938
00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:54,240
He's just like a lonely man.

939
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:58,240
But that's what I'm saying is like, he was freaking out about

940
00:44:58,240 --> 00:44:59,240
everyone in the park.

941
00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:01,240
Like just because.

942
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:02,240
Well, rightfully.

943
00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:06,240
So I have words about that because.

944
00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:11,240
Kind of speaks to a lot of this movie where oftentimes I'm like,

945
00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:13,240
these adults are like, I don't know.

946
00:45:13,240 --> 00:45:16,240
I don't know why.

947
00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:19,240
I'm not saying that I'm like, I don't know what to say.

948
00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:21,240
I mean, it's a movie where oftentimes I'm like,

949
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:23,240
these adults are treating this kid very poorly.

950
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:25,240
And I just don't think that this would ever happen in reality.

951
00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:28,240
Like, especially the woman who is kind of famous.

952
00:45:28,240 --> 00:45:31,240
I can't remember her name, but.

953
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:33,240
She's the like ticket.

954
00:45:33,240 --> 00:45:34,240
Person.

955
00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:37,240
Not ticket, but like.

956
00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:40,240
Like the customer service person at.

957
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:43,240
And she is just so like bothered in the bird woman.

958
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,440
Not the. No, the.

959
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:50,480
Like the when when he's when he has this very old man ish, like,

960
00:45:50,740 --> 00:45:54,380
oh, boy, like I have to like walk away from her.

961
00:45:54,540 --> 00:45:56,380
Like I'm in a pickle.

962
00:45:56,380 --> 00:45:59,440
But he goes once he gets off the plane, he goes and talks to this

963
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,440
customer service representative.

964
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,480
And she just is like annoyed as shit with him.

965
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,540
And I remember it.

966
00:46:06,540 --> 00:46:11,980
It it's this thing where I was so like confused

967
00:46:12,540 --> 00:46:15,880
what so many adults kind of treat this kid like,

968
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:17,940
man, what a stinker and a bother.

969
00:46:17,940 --> 00:46:20,580
I couldn't be, you know, like couldn't care less.

970
00:46:21,140 --> 00:46:24,980
Seems to be like a state of like nine year old adults are aloof

971
00:46:24,980 --> 00:46:26,640
and just.

972
00:46:27,980 --> 00:46:32,700
Disregard a young person, a child in a lot of ways.

973
00:46:32,700 --> 00:46:35,280
And then there's a lot of moments of triumphant, like

974
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:40,320
kids rule in this movie, at least like to where like there's a moment.

975
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,820
I remember being a child at this at this time, maybe not 92,

976
00:46:43,820 --> 00:46:48,480
but a little bit past this where a Nickelodeon was just a lot of like kids rule.

977
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,080
Parents drool.

978
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:50,680
Oh, yeah, drool.

979
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,680
I was just talking about like how like kids just.

980
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:54,680
Parents don't get it.

981
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:55,180
Yeah.

982
00:46:55,180 --> 00:46:56,880
Parents just don't fucking get it, man.

983
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,380
And they just go by this.

984
00:46:58,380 --> 00:46:59,880
They're they're their best.

985
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:08,880
And they in Kevin is has a moment has a few moments of just kicking ass

986
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:13,380
and being the coolest kid ever.

987
00:47:15,380 --> 00:47:16,180
So smart.

988
00:47:16,180 --> 00:47:16,680
Yeah.

989
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:18,880
Yeah.

990
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,680
So adults in this movie number one.

991
00:47:22,180 --> 00:47:25,880
And I would love, I love, I would have loved to be him at the time.

992
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:27,880
I'm trying to think of stuff at the beginning as well.

993
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,280
We got, yeah, we talked about the plane and his performance.

994
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,680
I think Buzz gives a great performance as well.

995
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:38,880
And his, you know, brief scenes where he, what does he call him in the

996
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,880
in the great apology and a trout sniffer trout sniffer?

997
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,880
It's it's excellent.

998
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,880
Kieran is also great and very good.

999
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,880
And he's got the big glasses.

1000
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,880
And now he's on succession.

1001
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,880
I know I've been watching a lot of succession.

1002
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:02,880
It's been seeing the OG stinker and OG stinks in his prime.

1003
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:08,880
He learns a lot from the OG stinkers out here saying Frank, Uncle Frank.

1004
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:09,880
Yes.

1005
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:14,880
And also a Papa Logan Roy.

1006
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:19,880
And the switcheroo in the airport, I think, has done well.

1007
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,880
I like that they call out like it's not going to happen the same way again.

1008
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:26,880
And then makes up funny feeling again.

1009
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:27,880
Yeah.

1010
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,880
And they just, they dress exactly the same and they're in a rush and

1011
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,880
everything just plays out in the domino sort of effect that that sort of

1012
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,880
feeling of being in a rush and a lot with a large group of people where

1013
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,880
you're leaving late to the airport and having to keep everything in line.

1014
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:44,880
I don't know.

1015
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,880
I relate with that more and more to.

1016
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:54,880
And so I gotta say, I gotta say, though, man, maybe kind of a hot take,

1017
00:48:54,880 --> 00:49:00,880
but if you are consistently forgetting your own children, you have too many

1018
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:01,880
kids.

1019
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:03,880
You have too many kids.

1020
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:04,880
I'm sorry.

1021
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,880
I know this is weird to tell somebody.

1022
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:08,880
Don't have kids or whatever.

1023
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,880
But like if you are at the point that you've had so many kids that you're

1024
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,880
just for two years, you're just like, I don't know.

1025
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:20,880
I don't have kids that you're just forgetting one.

1026
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:21,880
I know.

1027
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,880
Yeah, it's really kind of a, yeah.

1028
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,880
I mean, if I forgot something the first time, I would triple check the

1029
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:27,880
second time.

1030
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:28,880
You know what I mean?

1031
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,880
And I think Catherine, I heard was about to and the dad is like, don't worry.

1032
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,880
Don't worry about it.

1033
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:35,880
Like everything was kind of on him too because he was with Kevin.

1034
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:36,880
Yeah.

1035
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,880
Like he's like, I gave him my bag.

1036
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,880
Like he should have at least been a little bit more concerned with that.

1037
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,880
But he was running ahead, but he's also behind.

1038
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,880
He's got to make sure everyone in the crew is accounted for.

1039
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:50,880
And you fucked up.

1040
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:52,880
I was going to say Catherine.

1041
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,880
Oh, here I trust your motherly instincts.

1042
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:56,880
Yeah, absolutely.

1043
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,880
But I, you know, now as I get older, I can sympathize a little bit about

1044
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,880
the dad just being like.

1045
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:07,880
Being that part in the relationship where you're worrying too much.

1046
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:08,880
We're supposed to have fun.

1047
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:09,880
We're on vacation.

1048
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:14,880
And it's to his detriment where he's, you know, assuming things are going to be

1049
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:15,880
okay.

1050
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:16,880
He's pretty aloof as well.

1051
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,880
I know a lot of aloof adults.

1052
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,880
A loof adults.

1053
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:27,880
Do lost in New York, but then together like talking to a loof in New York,

1054
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:32,880
getting it in New York, getting it interrogated and like knocking on wood

1055
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:33,880
or whatever.

1056
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:35,880
Like, like, let's not forget we don't lose.

1057
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,880
Like hope we don't lose him again and all that stuff.

1058
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,880
Like, that's just, I don't know.

1059
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:40,880
Catherine.

1060
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:42,880
No hair is hilarious and moments like that.

1061
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:47,880
And her hair style, though, man, it just kind of drives me a little nuts.

1062
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:53,880
I was looking at pictures of people, you know, just fashion at this period

1063
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:58,880
in fashion, fashion and it's disgusting.

1064
00:50:58,880 --> 00:50:59,880
It's ugly.

1065
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:01,880
It makes me mad.

1066
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:07,880
It's like, it's like a person who has a real personality, but then has

1067
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,880
personality in shitty ways.

1068
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,880
And her hair is, I don't know.

1069
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:13,880
There's something about it.

1070
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:14,880
It's iconic.

1071
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,880
No, it's, it is kind of iconic.

1072
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:24,880
But like, um, yeah, everybody, I don't know the way that people were back

1073
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,880
back in the 19 early nineties, man.

1074
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,880
Oh, it's just, it's too much fabric.

1075
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:31,880
It's too gray.

1076
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:32,880
It's too brown.

1077
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,880
It's a bunch of things I don't like.

1078
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,880
It's a character for sure at that time.

1079
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:45,880
And I think at least how she's done up seems to be accurate for that time.

1080
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:52,880
And it really brings me back, but I would like to hear Kara's opinion on her.

1081
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:53,880
Yeah.

1082
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,880
What do you think of like her wardrobe as well?

1083
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:57,880
Because I know that you are familiar in that.

1084
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,880
I'm like, it's very, it's very mom.

1085
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,880
Like, yeah.

1086
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,880
Mom's are kind of cool now, right?

1087
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:06,880
Yeah.

1088
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,880
Mom's stress cooler.

1089
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,880
Don't they?

1090
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,880
I don't know.

1091
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:13,880
Yeah.

1092
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,880
See, it's hard because like, obviously, I don't like to see her Miami

1093
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:17,880
wear if it were sunny.

1094
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:19,880
Oh yeah.

1095
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:24,880
I just, I like it, but I don't like, I personally wouldn't wear it.

1096
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,880
I just think that.

1097
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,880
Was it a shot of her in general?

1098
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,880
I'm just looking at pictures of her just to kind of get a vibe of it.

1099
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:39,880
But it, there's something cozy about it because it is so nostalgic.

1100
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:44,880
Like I feel like my mom's hair wasn't like that, but like it was short.

1101
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:50,880
So it kind of reminds me of like, yeah, like a 90s mom vibe.

1102
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:55,880
It's just, I get blown back a lot like with the Joe, the thing that I'm

1103
00:52:55,880 --> 00:53:00,880
I'm thinking about is like, so this is her in this movie, but then this is

1104
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:06,880
her in the first movie and this is like substantially better.

1105
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:12,880
Like even just going, you know, from like, it just going into the 90s,

1106
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:17,880
it just got like worse and worse because like her style in the first

1107
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,880
movie is cool. I dig it. It makes sense. And then you see this and there's

1108
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,880
just something like, oh, it's so.

1109
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:25,880
Yeah, I don't know.

1110
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,880
It's so.

1111
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,880
I don't know how to describe it. Like there were these choices made in

1112
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:37,880
the 90s that suck and we to look back on it, you're like, ooh, man, like

1113
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:39,880
you went in the wrong direction.

1114
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,880
Just society at large did, you know.

1115
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,880
And I think there's been a course correction now, but yeah, like between

1116
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,880
the two pictures I showed you, you know, I don't know. The first one seems

1117
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,880
so timeless and makes sense and it's cool even though it's these browns

1118
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,880
and prints, but then, then once you start getting into the early mid 90s,

1119
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,880
it just kind of gets like.

1120
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:05,880
I'm also wondering like if what if she was working on anything at that time

1121
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,880
that made her like have Beetlejuice.

1122
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,880
Beetlejuice. That's what I was wondering. Yeah, I was just about to see.

1123
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,880
No, Beetlejuice was 1988. So.

1124
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:18,880
Oh, wow. Okay. But Beetlejuice, mind you, is like, it is funny to think about.

1125
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:20,880
I'm glad you brought that up because I'm.

1126
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,880
You know, oh, right.

1127
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:29,880
But what influence Beetlejuice had for better or for worse almost, you know,

1128
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:34,880
because in Beetlejuice, she did have more of this, the hair we saw in this movie.

1129
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,880
But that was like an 80s like.

1130
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:41,880
Right. It was the 80s vibe.

1131
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,880
It's I think I'm going to adopt the Catherine O'Hara.

1132
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:46,880
I think that's what I'm going to do.

1133
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,880
I think that's going to be my haircut now. I think I'm going to go as soon as

1134
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:51,880
you're going to.

1135
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:56,880
You're going to half of your head is going to get starched and push back.

1136
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:00,880
And then you're going to have like a little down bob in the back.

1137
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,880
Yeah. And then you have an Elvis top. Yeah.

1138
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,880
That's a good look. Yeah.

1139
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:09,880
Instead of just doing what you could literally between these two pictures.

1140
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:14,880
I'm serious. Like you could wear the first one or the second one today.

1141
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:16,880
And no one would think twice.

1142
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,880
I'm going to go with Home Alone 2 Catherine O'Hara look.

1143
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,880
That's an insane look. Excuse me, Baba.

1144
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,880
Give me the Catherine O'Hara and Home Alone 2.

1145
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:28,880
Last in New York City. Thank you.

1146
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:30,880
I'm sure you get this every day.

1147
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:31,880
Wow. That's a good picture.

1148
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,880
Your barber. Wow. Oh my goodness.

1149
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:42,880
So when he gets into the hotel, you get to meet the Tim Curry,

1150
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:46,880
the Rob Schneider, the future president.

1151
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaking of hair, Rob Schneider.

1152
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,880
I think his hairstyle.

1153
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,880
I think he went for that hairstyle.

1154
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,880
Waves all over height to him.

1155
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,880
Because of him being such a short man because.

1156
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,880
And also too, I like it reminded me of this weird.

1157
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:09,880
Thing that happened in the early 90s where men in particular got

1158
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,880
really into like bossa nova, like.

1159
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:14,880
Right.

1160
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:16,880
Rockabilly culture.

1161
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,880
Like that was a thing, you know.

1162
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:23,880
I think a lot of swingers where guys were, you know, doing.

1163
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,880
Elvis.

1164
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,880
With these pool shirt or like.

1165
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:35,880
Not pool necessarily the pool water, but the pool stick and balls.

1166
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:40,880
And it's weird that that was like Polo.

1167
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:42,880
That was the vibe.

1168
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,880
Rob Schneider.

1169
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,880
Okay. Rob Schneider. Tim Curry.

1170
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,880
Rob Schneider.

1171
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:52,880
Not bad. I enjoyed.

1172
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:53,880
I enjoyed it.

1173
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:54,880
I enjoyed it.

1174
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:55,880
I enjoyed it.

1175
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:56,880
I enjoyed it.

1176
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,880
Not bad. I enjoyed.

1177
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:00,880
I enjoyed it.

1178
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:01,880
I love them.

1179
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:02,880
I love them.

1180
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:03,880
I love the hotel.

1181
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:05,880
I love all the scenes in the hotel.

1182
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:06,880
Great stuff.

1183
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:07,880
Especially Tim Curry.

1184
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,880
He's like a genius, especially when I don't know.

1185
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,880
All the when he comes up.

1186
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:15,880
Confronts him about.

1187
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:21,880
Why you were they upset about the stolen credit cards.

1188
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,880
That was his performance was true commitment.

1189
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:26,880
Like that.

1190
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,880
That is.

1191
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,880
It's great.

1192
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:31,880
It's really.

1193
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:33,880
Everything and.

1194
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:34,880
It's everything.

1195
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:35,880
Yeah.

1196
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:36,880
I agree.

1197
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,880
It just fits everything that the movie needs and when.

1198
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:41,880
The wet slash sticky bandits.

1199
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,880
Are starting to rear their faces by this point too.

1200
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,880
I think he's an excellent antagonist that also has a heart too.

1201
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:49,880
Cause he like.

1202
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,880
Get slapped and cries later.

1203
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,880
There's like some depth and he has to like say I love you and has to deal with like.

1204
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:00,880
A threat in the hotel and everything like he really goes through a lot in this movie.

1205
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,880
But he's also extremely like.

1206
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:08,880
Vane or like just egotistical and like just is looking out for himself and wants to like.

1207
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:13,880
Move further along because he's so hell bent like right when Kevin walks into the room by himself.

1208
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,880
He clocks him immediately and understands exactly what's going on.

1209
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:19,880
In his mind.

1210
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,880
And he's just that good at his job.

1211
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:24,880
He's very he knows something's up.

1212
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:28,880
But then he takes it far because then he goes into the hotel room.

1213
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:30,880
Peaks into the bathroom.

1214
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:32,880
Seens a clown man.

1215
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:36,880
That is a shadow to him with the voice of Uncle Frank.

1216
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:38,880
Hey you get out of here.

1217
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,880
I'm going to rap and then has to has to run out and he just.

1218
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,880
For him to take all that on.

1219
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:46,880
What did he say?

1220
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,880
He said he's the perfect actor.

1221
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:51,880
You little pervert to take all.

1222
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,880
Can we can we talk about what Uncle Frank had said to him.

1223
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,880
Prior that I thought was really funny because the dad laughed and the mom laughed.

1224
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:06,880
Where Kevin is on the bed when you know prior to the recording of it but like right before it.

1225
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:12,880
And he's like oh something's in the in the bathroom and he's like I can't go into the bathroom because Uncle Frank's in the shower.

1226
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:17,880
And Uncle Frank told me never to go into the bathroom because if I did then he'll.

1227
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,880
Oh yeah and I'll feel like less of a man.

1228
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,880
Something like that. Yeah.

1229
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:22,880
Something to that.

1230
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:24,880
And you're just like wow.

1231
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,880
Because he had to go get a towel or something like that.

1232
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:27,880
Yeah.

1233
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:32,880
Yeah I forget the exact line but it was essentially to that effect.

1234
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:36,880
Yeah Frank is quite the character and really hits the uncle.

1235
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,880
Part well.

1236
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:43,880
I mean not even a leaf but just cantankerous.

1237
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:48,880
Yeah absolutely cantankerous uncle character.

1238
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:49,880
Yeah.

1239
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:50,880
Yeah.

1240
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:59,880
It feels a role well like the the neurotic staff manager and all that stuff the greedy you know bell boy and the bird lady.

1241
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:07,880
The in the future president and then you get the limo driver who is just like oh you got to go to Duncan's that's where you got to go.

1242
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,880
For the best toys.

1243
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:14,880
And that pizza that he opens has steam just rise out of it.

1244
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,880
It's the most perfect pizza you could ever imagine the most perfect pour of coke.

1245
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:20,880
You watch as the Grinch.

1246
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:26,880
You feel like the transition from the Grinch to temporary space.

1247
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:28,880
Light going on.

1248
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:54,880
Okay so there's this whole subreddit about this but the signage for for Duncan's toys drives me crazy too so I subscribed to this subreddit that's like signs done wrong essentially is what it is because the signage for Duncan's toys is fucked off where it's

1249
01:00:54,880 --> 01:01:21,880
fucked off where it's Duncan's and then it's toy chest but the way that the sign looks is it's toys on one side and chest is on the other so it looks like toy Duncan's chest and it drives me nuts when I see something like that because it's all like on the same line essentially but the implication is

1250
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:33,880
is because the text for Duncan's is larger than toy chest you're supposed to read it as Duncan's toy chest but it really looks like toy Duncan's chest and I cannot stand it.

1251
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:35,880
Take a look at it.

1252
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,880
We should do something about it.

1253
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:45,880
Just let's boycott toy Duncan just throw a rock through the window.

1254
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:56,880
And then to speak on Duncan I had shared in the general as well. Wonderful photo of Duncan himself next to our former president.

1255
01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:04,880
Ronald Reagan because they were in movies together in the like mid 50s.

1256
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:10,880
Six degrees of this guy and in president.

1257
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:23,880
So in the general there's just a lovely photo of them on the set of a beach type movie and it's I can't remember the actress's name in the left side but then it's yeah.

1258
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:27,880
Ronald Reagan and Mr. Duncan himself.

1259
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:29,880
She's in it up.

1260
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:31,880
She's in Louise in it up.

1261
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,880
It is not in the chat but I believe you.

1262
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:35,880
General chat.

1263
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:37,880
It is nothing.

1264
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:39,880
But that's okay.

1265
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:44,880
It's at 1140 am.

1266
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:46,880
Oh up above.

1267
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:48,880
I thought you just posted it now.

1268
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:50,880
I was wondering what that photo was.

1269
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:51,880
I was like oh look at these.

1270
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:52,880
Look at these people.

1271
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,880
Mr. Duncan himself is third on there.

1272
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:56,880
I see.

1273
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:57,880
That's him as a young man.

1274
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:02,880
Yeah he's got that kind of a scrunched face not to be mean or anything but it's a little scrunch face and sharp nose.

1275
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:07,880
He almost looks like Gary Grintuck.

1276
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,880
And so a famous actor from that time.

1277
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:12,880
I looked into his other movies.

1278
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:27,880
He was also in films with Gene Kelly and yeah pretty famous actor and you know Kevin getting taken to the toy store obviously super fun but then the adultness of Kevin comes out where.

1279
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:39,880
He is so into this idea of Duncan giving back to children without means and is down to support that.

1280
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:53,880
And Mr. Duncan picks up on that and gives him the turtle dove which Kevin then learns about the real meaning of turtle dove it isn't just something sung in a song but it also has a meaning of.

1281
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:59,880
If you were to give a turtle dove then you are friends is what I got to mean is like.

1282
01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:08,880
Keep one for yourself and give one to someone very special so that yeah like you know you always have that have that bond essentially right.

1283
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:09,880
Yeah.

1284
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:10,880
I love that.

1285
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:11,880
I love that.

1286
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:23,880
I love that story comes about because yeah just oh I give you something I'll make you be something back.

1287
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:29,880
Oh well you picked I suggest this because and then he's like oh you get to that's that's really great.

1288
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:35,880
It's like oh the reason you get to is because you yourself get to give one as well.

1289
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:47,880
It's a really special thing that you get to give something that that person also gets to pass along as well and yeah I don't know I think I also yeah it just gets me more and more.

1290
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:58,880
It's me more and more as as I watch this movie is the whole turtle dove sentiment sentiment and him choosing the pigeon lady is something that.

1291
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:16,880
Yeah just hit me in a nice spot where Kevin understands who needs it most in his life too and maybe there's people like his mom that obviously will mean more to him and his life and everything but he understands.

1292
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:29,880
The need of it all and the children's hospital sentiment which is set up in the scene.

1293
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:50,880
He goes to the children's hospital later yeah he sees the child on the window waves and then he's like I'm gonna fuck shit up tonight and then he decides that he's going to go back and set up all those traps and really fuck them over and like go back at them with a vengeance this isn't about defense this is about offense and he brings the fight to them.

1294
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:59,880
Yeah, I.

1295
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:09,880
And also to speak to the credit of the movie is that it not only is a character developing situation for Kevin, but it also works for setting up the basic plot, which the.

1296
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:21,880
Sticky boys now sticky bandits sticky bandits are going to rob the toy store because no one you know would think to rob a toy store on Christmas.

1297
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:31,880
Yeah they're sitting at the ice rink he's stealing all these all this outerwear from people as they skate by which I just love physical comedy.

1298
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:48,880
It's Daniel Stern, and it is all all of the stuff that he's giving always just hits as a grown man as myself and also as a child when I would watch this movie is just seen a very tall gangly dude acting like a silly silly silly guy.

1299
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:52,880
Yeah, and also my favorite humor in this movie.

1300
01:06:52,880 --> 01:07:02,880
Also seeing yeah just Kevin act like a grown man and give psychoanalyzing pigeon lady was was pretty great.

1301
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:07,880
I mean, it's like my skateboard story.

1302
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:09,880
Yeah, I know what it's like to be the black.

1303
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:11,880
I know what it's like.

1304
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:19,880
That sort of reminds me of being the youngest in the family of being ostracized by society I get it.

1305
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:32,880
I mean, Daniel Stern in this movie is really wonderful and juxtaposed to Pesci like Daniel Stern is here to play and is having a time.

1306
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:47,880
I don't know Pesci but I know what you mean where he's yeah he's a little checked out but just the mere fact that he showed up at least his face is a lot and a lot of the stuff you know with all the traps and everything is stunt work.

1307
01:07:47,880 --> 01:08:03,880
I mean, I'm not a person in certain scenes but I don't know for me he gets he gets the job done and I and I never really noticed and until more recent viewings but it's never been enough for me to ruin the ruin the performance but yeah.

1308
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:15,880
It's kind of like it's a stretch but it kind of works for his character where he's like, oh, we have to go through this again like I'm a little like annoyed that we have to do this again with this kid.

1309
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:38,880
Yeah, but I just it's like why you know, like you just escaped out of jail so then your first thing is to do this, you know, that is a far fetch thing that is just movie shit that it's just to bring to bring the sticky bandits together with him again is such a stretch.

1310
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:49,880
And there's nothing really to reconcile that and I like it but if that's going to be the maker break for you if you like this movie or not I also contend that that's a silly thing to really hinge it on.

1311
01:08:49,880 --> 01:09:09,880
But I also understand that it is far fetching fucking crazy that like they walk out of a of a building. They don't even see his face they see the back of him and Marv immediately recognizes like hey, check it out and they grab him before even looking at him in the face.

1312
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:19,880
Later on yeah but on that scene he just fucking screams.

1313
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:26,880
And this is like a guttural scream and he runs away grabs the pearls first trap done got him.

1314
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:46,880
And then running away and like the carriage after the stolen credit cards thing and having to be alone in the park and being alone in New York City at night. It's like the second half of this movie starts to get into like oh he's got a he's not living in the high life of the hotel he's not going to be able to get home so easily.

1315
01:09:46,880 --> 01:10:05,880
And then in New York at night is a little scary. Very scary. I'm going to go. Yeah, and then pigeon lady saves him and we go through all that which I think is pretty wholesome and I you know again is filling fulfilling the beats that has been set up in the first one and her roles is that same.

1316
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:21,880
She's rolling the first one essentially but she fills it well and to jump to jump into like the the home alone segment of it I guess there's like a segment of this movie that does the home alone of it all.

1317
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:26,880
It does yeah absolutely.

1318
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:35,880
So what house is that it's it's like their is Uncle and they're in and they're in France.

1319
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:45,880
They're out of town looks like maybe they're doing some housework because there's a whole yeah they were like I thought it was getting renovated.

1320
01:10:45,880 --> 01:11:09,880
Yeah, there was that line about it. Crazy how there is a situation in all of the very fun home alone of it all where they do, you know, go to Langspiel for you know the sticky bandits be like, we're not going to fall into this trap again and we have a lot of those moments.

1321
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:15,880
But something that's really new and surprising for this one is.

1322
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:30,880
Yeah, we theoretically like go into a fake like magical universe because Daniel Stern gets electrocuted to where he becomes a skeleton.

1323
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:31,880
So funny.

1324
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,880
So what's that about.

1325
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:40,880
What's that about because we just went from like a spin tour humor.

1326
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:45,880
Then now we're, you know, skeleton people see that a spin tour.

1327
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:53,880
That would be an ace for a sort of that's that's that's my excuse, especially with how he's screaming and everything like this.

1328
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:55,880
Even the mouth is of the skeletons.

1329
01:11:55,880 --> 01:12:06,880
So good. Or I was thinking maybe want to watch Rocket Man again with Harvey Quinn.

1330
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:09,880
No, close.

1331
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,880
Harley Quinn Harvey.

1332
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:14,880
Yeah, no Harley.

1333
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:16,880
Oh, Harley Harley.

1334
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:17,880
Harley.

1335
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:19,880
Yeah, I know what you're talking about.

1336
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:27,880
I don't know he's so funny and kind of Daniel Cernich and doesn't and it's just hijinks in space that whole movie.

1337
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:40,880
And his stuff in this segment of it is very difficult physical comedy in my mind to pull off and have be funny and not.

1338
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:59,880
And I don't want to discriminate as much on the true violence of it all, which I think we'll find out a lot of critics had issues with how violent some of this stuff was and how how visceral it ended up being and the and how they felt like they had to amp certain things up in this movie and they chose to do it and in that sort of

1339
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:00,880
violence.

1340
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:02,880
Yeah, violence.

1341
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:04,880
And American cinema.

1342
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:05,880
Oh my God.

1343
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:16,880
I'm not really good at that, but I was feeling like healing overlapping at the brick thing. I don't I was like dying, dude. It was so funny.

1344
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:22,880
That's so funny to hear you say that because when I saw that I was like, wait a minute, he be fucking dead.

1345
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:23,880
I know.

1346
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:25,880
He would be in the hospital.

1347
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:27,880
Are you kidding me?

1348
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:37,880
If you caught a brick in the head from somebody that's like, I don't know, eight flight, like eight stories higher or whatever, you'd be dead.

1349
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:39,880
You get it's not three.

1350
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:40,880
He gets four.

1351
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:49,880
I counted and it was so funny to me that I was like dying because it's the rule of threes and it's just like, oh, amp it up, hit him on the third and then move on.

1352
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:53,880
But then there's a fourth where it's just like, come on.

1353
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,880
Like at that point, it just gets to be funny.

1354
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:04,880
And then it just goes through true brutality. There's there's fire that he's stressing me.

1355
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:14,880
Yeah. I mean, that's a part of this movie. I feel like it's not as stretched out, but it is consolidated and dense in its violence in this segment.

1356
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:24,880
I another funny part was for me was him putting his head in the toilet and then seeing the outside jump cut of the house like blowing up essentially.

1357
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:31,880
Just was such intense beyond like, like you're saying Brandon like magical or fantastical.

1358
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:38,880
So so much so that it was just so so insane that you just couldn't even like weekend at Bernie's to sort of stuff for me.

1359
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:39,880
I'm William.

1360
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:40,880
Okay, cool.

1361
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:54,880
Harland, William. Okay. And that that just sort of I don't know that I like sequels a lot. And that was another silly stupid sequel that amp things up in a funny way.

1362
01:14:54,880 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaking of silly stupid, I mean, the way that it also ends with them getting covered in varnish, they really are the sticky bandits. Am I right?

1363
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,880
They are the stickiest of bandits.

1364
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:11,880
They're covered in varnish and then goop.

1365
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:17,880
I really was green goop to his advantage. There's a lot of that in that canister.

1366
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:28,880
You know what to another of this like magical realism shit is that they get the is it a piano like something falls like I can't remember what it is the sound of a tool shed rolling down.

1367
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:37,880
Yeah.

1368
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,880
And they both have plastic nose.

1369
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:57,880
The fact that they get hit with it and then there's this whole like thing of them being like, I got to like pull my nose out and correct it and change my face because we just got smushed, you know, is this magic.

1370
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:01,880
Is this magical realism that is so wacky?

1371
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:05,880
I think they needed to do that to balance out like how brutal everything is.

1372
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:06,880
Yep.

1373
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:15,880
Like you have to remember it's a kids movie so they have to kind of like make it cartoony is so that way kids aren't terrified because I like I said I was I'm an adult.

1374
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:20,880
I was dressed like these guys are like going through it.

1375
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:21,880
Oh my God.

1376
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:30,880
The John Williams works really well too for it. But I think that's that's like the argument against it that I would make is that you didn't need that brutality in it.

1377
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:35,880
It's like, yeah, you know, you don't need to go that far.

1378
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:43,880
Like again, I'm like still at this point reeling from the fact that he watched a movie where a woman got mowed down by a Tommy gun.

1379
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:54,880
Like there's just this there's this kind of seedy underbelly of this movie that really caught me off guard left and right where just like.

1380
01:16:54,880 --> 01:17:01,880
With some of the Tim Curry stuff to of them going into the room.

1381
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:08,880
Getting tricked on which is funny because adults getting fucking bamboozled is funny.

1382
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:24,880
But then the implication is is that they go into a room and then realize that the tenant is shooting at him is really crazy because then they come out of it and Tim Curry is like there's a crazy 10, you know, tenant who's shooting us.

1383
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:32,880
And it's like, that's, oh man, it's really wild to me that there's like this.

1384
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:38,880
Especially, okay, let me try to simply put like why this upsets me is.

1385
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:43,880
So a kid getting left by his parents is pretty upsetting to begin with right.

1386
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:47,880
And then also in this movie it's happening for the second time.

1387
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:52,880
So in my mind I'm just again like, man, you guys have too many kids if you're fucking leave in one of them.

1388
01:17:52,880 --> 01:18:05,880
And there's this weird kind of consequence that hangs over this movie in my mind where you left a child and he has to fend for himself.

1389
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:14,880
Fun. He's fending for himself. But then there's always these kind of weird interjections of darkness, you know, be it.

1390
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:33,880
You know, him. Yeah, like people dying essentially, you know, with getting electrocuted or getting smushed or also to I would pair this with the heaviness of the pigeon lady and her plight in life, which I honestly really enjoy it.

1391
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:37,880
I was like, oh, this is really interesting and fun that this kid has to do with it.

1392
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:45,880
He poops it away a little bit, but I know he poops it. Yeah, he poops it away. But nonetheless, it's it's he's a child. I get it.

1393
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,880
But ultimately I'm like.

1394
01:18:48,880 --> 01:19:09,880
It is such a like John Hughes and Christopher Columbus thing where they have this whole like zip between funny light, family humor and really fucked up dark humor.

1395
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:19,880
And it's because it's men in their forties making children's movies and their their sensibility is kind of that.

1396
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:33,880
It's like we know how to write a kid's movie because we were kids and were great writers, but we're also really like think it's funny when people get maimed and potentially murdered and stuff.

1397
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:38,880
And it's just it's a weird concoction that exists in this film.

1398
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:49,880
It's fair that at times I'm just like really, I think more so than the first one because of the fact that this is the like happening again.

1399
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:56,880
Like you've kind of fucked this up again, that there's this whole air about it where you're like.

1400
01:19:56,880 --> 01:20:01,880
I'm really frustrated and mad at the parents and the adults in this movie.

1401
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:09,880
And maybe that's kind of how I should feel, but it feels very weird to think about how.

1402
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:19,880
Uncaring, unsympathetic lack of tenderness that I would want a little bit more of when it comes to the plight of a child.

1403
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:30,880
That this movie kind of disregards at times and just goes like oh yeah, you know, could you imagine if he killed like legitimately killed one of these guys and that he had to deal with that.

1404
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:31,880
Yeah, he is.

1405
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:38,880
Bricks and each one he's laughing his ass on that roof with each consecutive brick.

1406
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:41,880
He's like I'm nine years old and I killed two guys.

1407
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:46,880
And he was picking up those bricks like they weighed like nothing.

1408
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:47,880
Which they probably did.

1409
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:49,880
Yeah.

1410
01:20:49,880 --> 01:21:03,880
Actually, like that's what I was trying to say like the upsetting part for me was like when he like stumbles upon all those people in Central Park and like they're all scary and and it's like I get it like much better and he's scared.

1411
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:18,880
But like, that's what I was trying to say earlier about like, they glamorize like having money and having things and having a credit card having like access to things and like buying things and then the people that don't have that are terrifying.

1412
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:21,880
People like taxi drivers are terrifying.

1413
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:27,880
Why are they terrifying they're just trying to make a living and they're they will.

1414
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:29,880
Such an astute observation.

1415
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:31,880
I agree.

1416
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,880
The part that was upsetting for me is like, I agree.

1417
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:37,880
It's almost like the movie hates those people.

1418
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:42,880
Yeah, that's that's exactly what I felt.

1419
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:59,880
That was like the view of what I had of the movie was like, it's cool to be Donald Trump and exactly have money and to be white and like, and I know that's such like a weird way to watch a kid's movie but of course that was also the time you know like

1420
01:21:59,880 --> 01:22:15,880
totally. So that kind of goes to my thing about like sometimes why it's hard for me to watch older movies is because I am more aware of certain things now. So I can't help but turn that lens off.

1421
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:18,880
Like I view things differently now.

1422
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:34,880
So as a kid, I didn't notice that stuff but now it's like it was just like airy and cringy to me that like he was terrified of all these people that they didn't seem like horrible people other than that they were dirty and like they didn't work.

1423
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:35,880
I don't know.

1424
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:37,880
They were 100%.

1425
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:44,880
One of my notes is is was what hookers really like give a lost kid shit.

1426
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:46,880
No, I don't think so.

1427
01:22:46,880 --> 01:23:11,880
So either it really like I was clutching my pearls a little bit being like if I like sex work is real work and even though they've had a tough go at life, like I would like to believe that even if you're working the streets on Christmas Eve or whatever, you wouldn't see a nine year old boy and be like

1428
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:24,880
kind of fuck with them. Kind of just like give them shit about being outside like a kid. What are you doing out here? You know, you should be inside. You know, it's like, I don't know.

1429
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:44,880
I get what they're trying to do like from Kevin's perspective. It's scary because he's an emu city and he's never seen this kind of stuff before. So it's just different. But like, I just feel like, yeah, I was just kind of scary, honestly, like it is because I think a better artistic

1430
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:59,880
approach, if I were to rewrite this is like all of the people that he experienced at night that after he's left the hotel and stuff would say things that are helpful to him.

1431
01:23:59,880 --> 01:24:05,880
But him as a kid would interpret it as scary. Right.

1432
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:18,880
Yeah. But what is on the page is like people saying really weird fucked up shit to him. And it's like, no, like I because I 100% agree with you that

1433
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:26,880
as a child, you would be very scared of these people. Yeah, I get that. Exactly. Like that I totally understand.

1434
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:48,880
But to have them actually say things that are really like ag antagonistic, very unsympathetic is weird to me because even like the people that I personally know that are like

1435
01:24:48,880 --> 01:25:03,880
doing mature things often to make it through there like to make it in life have like a code of conduct where like with kids, you kind of just like, you know, fuck with kids, you know, like at a bare minimum.

1436
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:25,880
That's not I know that it's tough out there on the streets. But I just I would like to imagine that if he was lost at night on Christmas Eve, that even the cab driver or the, you know, the sex workers, anybody would be a little bit more like,

1437
01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:40,880
are you okay? Like, and come at it with a little bit more of that. And like the cab driver comment like it's not any better in here like what is that's what does that mean like I just don't even get it like is a cab supposed to be like dirty like I don't I don't

1438
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:46,880
understand what the what that what they were trying to I genuinely don't know what they were trying to say about that.

1439
01:25:46,880 --> 01:26:08,880
Exactly. Right. Yeah, no, it's, I think you've nailed it is and that's in my mind. A big problem with this movie is is that that its view and like perspective on people who don't have money is really fucked up.

1440
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:22,880
Yeah, it's really. Yeah, not chill. Because I understand it does it does like make up for itself a little bit in this.

1441
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:40,880
Like, we're doing you know helping out the you know, kids and stuff, especially to it even says which I really love this line of like, you can mess, you can mess with a lot of things, but not kids on Christmas.

1442
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:55,880
Like, I'm not all these people messing with kids like a kid on Christmas. Like, I just I don't know. Like, it's uneven is how I would describe the sensibility of this movie by and large is.

1443
01:26:55,880 --> 01:27:08,880
You don't like I. OK, so the line you can't mess with a lot of things. You can mess with a lot of things, but not kids on Christmas is in regards to the sticky bandits trying to steal the money from the toy.

1444
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:24,880
It's like from Duncan's right. And great. They are bad guys. Let's paint them as bad guys. Let's, you know, may explicitly say in the dialogue that they're bad guys and that that's why they should

1445
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:28,880
theoretically be maimed, you know, but.

1446
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:41,880
It is weird and dark at times and for a kid's movie man. Sometimes I lose that a little. I think I did feel a little unsettled about that scene of just like.

1447
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:51,880
I know they're trying to like the whole point of him running into all these people at night is so it like.

1448
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:54,880
Yeah, it's running through the park.

1449
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:56,880
He's nowhere to go. He's alone.

1450
01:27:56,880 --> 01:28:01,880
That's the big point that it's making us that he's really like now that he doesn't have money.

1451
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:06,880
He's really by himself because the arc that's happening is.

1452
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:12,880
Putting him in a situation of vulnerability in which the pigeon lady is also like.

1453
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:29,880
Wait, it's almost the pigeon lady operates in like this ghost of Christmas future for him where, you know, there's this and I'm not saying it doesn't well for sure, but it posits that.

1454
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:37,880
He is frustrated with his family and like really kind of doesn't like at first enjoys the fact that he's not with them.

1455
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:46,880
Right. Like that's kind of the jettison of this because in the first part of this movie, I was trying to get over the fact of like.

1456
01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:51,880
Don't you just like want to hunt down how to get back to your family, but no, he like.

1457
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:55,880
It is excited by the fact that he's not with this family anymore.

1458
01:28:55,880 --> 01:29:01,880
And that's a big part of the first half of this movie is he's like, I don't like my family.

1459
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:04,880
Arguably like I get it. They left you like that again.

1460
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:11,880
I just it's such a weird concept to kind of get over at times where you're like, right, your fucking parents left you in this place.

1461
01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:16,880
You know, they didn't pay attention to you getting on this and X, Y and Z.

1462
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:18,880
And so he like.

1463
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:25,880
Loves the fact that he's not with them and like relishes in it, spends all of his dad's money, does all of this stuff.

1464
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:39,880
And then this arc that he goes on is that once he loses the safety net of the hotel and is just purely alone, he then meets the pigeon lady who is very alone.

1465
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:46,880
And then he provides guidance and like, like, actually, you should do this.

1466
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:51,880
I'm a little kid and you're a grown person and I'm going to tell you how you could be better at your life.

1467
01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:55,880
And.

1468
01:29:55,880 --> 01:30:10,880
But theoretically, like she is who he will become if he alienates himself more and more from his family because he doesn't like, you know, buzz making fun of him, his uncle, his mother and dad, you know, father leaving him all of this stuff.

1469
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:15,880
And him providing all of this like, oh, but you need all these friends and stuff.

1470
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:25,880
And he's a little bizarre, like, because it's not like he has a bunch of friends. He is alone. And then he provides all this sage advice to this grown ass person.

1471
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:43,880
And then I don't know, it just, it, again, it speaks to the flaws and the issues that I have with this movie where it wants to operate in all of these like dark or deep concepts, but then doesn't like.

1472
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:57,880
And then it will fully come in. And if anything at times like, goes against it and goes like, it's actually not that bad. Guess what, we're actually in this joke reality world where people can get zapped and turned into skeletons and come back

1473
01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:04,040
ever. And it is so weird of a movie to me.

1474
01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:05,720
But I don't know.

1475
01:31:05,720 --> 01:31:07,120
There's a lot that I like about it.

1476
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:13,120
By and large, I don't know.

1477
01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:14,800
Like we're getting close to the end of this movie.

1478
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:17,120
I mean, how?

1479
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:18,000
Yeah, I don't know.

1480
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:19,600
How do we feel about it?

1481
01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:21,840
It's a Christmas movie as a movie in general.

1482
01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:26,840
Before we get into how other people feel about it.

1483
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:30,360
Is there anything else you want to say about this movie?

1484
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:34,360
Yeah, I think.

1485
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:37,400
I mean, as far as everything you guys talked about,

1486
01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:41,200
I think they tried to use the the pigeon lady as that

1487
01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:46,160
representation of this other side that Kevin was afraid of.

1488
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:50,600
And to what effect and how well they did it is, I'm sure,

1489
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:54,520
to whatever your opinion is.

1490
01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:57,400
But in my mind, that's just how they structured it of like,

1491
01:31:57,400 --> 01:32:00,920
oh, I got to spend a night in a scary new town.

1492
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:03,160
Everything is scary to me in the vision,

1493
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:05,000
like the eyes of a child.

1494
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:09,960
And then he they kind of just use this pigeon lady to represent

1495
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:13,680
the understanding of like the other and like what's what's

1496
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:16,400
scary about a new a new place.

1497
01:32:16,400 --> 01:32:20,960
That whole scene with them like talking and everything

1498
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:25,200
was really funny how he was just like just would shut her down

1499
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:28,920
on everything every real life problem that she and he would

1500
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:31,400
just be like, oh, well, let me talk about this dumb ass kid

1501
01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:34,160
thing that I'm dealing with and how it relates to that and how

1502
01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:35,280
this is all you got to do.

1503
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:40,600
And like she she like gives him real life shit that like.

1504
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:43,640
She's like, well, I just I just kind of stops loving

1505
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:48,640
because I my heart turned cold and I went through a lot of

1506
01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:51,280
hardships. He's like, well, that seems like kind of a dumb

1507
01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:53,640
thing to do.

1508
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:54,800
Why would you do that?

1509
01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:56,080
Why don't you do that again?

1510
01:32:56,080 --> 01:32:57,000
Don't do that.

1511
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:01,480
And it was like some of the sensibilities were childlike

1512
01:33:01,480 --> 01:33:05,480
as well and how the movie itself was trying like the movie

1513
01:33:05,480 --> 01:33:09,520
language itself and how I was trying to portray those starting

1514
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:11,560
to touch into those loftier issues.

1515
01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:14,280
And I think that is like a sign of the 90s to of like, oh, we

1516
01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:17,760
can just kind of talk about whatever and kind of kind of

1517
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:18,440
be edgy.

1518
01:33:18,440 --> 01:33:20,600
And I'm not saying that this is what it's doing.

1519
01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:25,400
But just around that time was just a free form way of kind of

1520
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:30,840
talking about issues and not having to worry worry about

1521
01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:35,720
like certain things coming off a certain way maybe.

1522
01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:42,280
And this movie, it's interesting to see the excess and to see

1523
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:46,400
the haves and haves not be portrayed in that sort of way.

1524
01:33:46,400 --> 01:33:49,560
And for me, I think, yeah, it just works.

1525
01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:52,760
And that's sort of we I think we talked earlier.

1526
01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:56,040
I'm not sure if it was off the pot or not, but about

1527
01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:57,240
nostalgia and everything too.

1528
01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:00,840
And I think this movie works for me in that way and in a lot

1529
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:03,920
of ways that I can even fully understand subconsciously.

1530
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:08,040
But by the end of the movie, it really is just like they get a

1531
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:11,520
bomb ass hotel room, which I assume is just comped because

1532
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:13,320
they fucked up so many times.

1533
01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:15,440
Yeah, they did get it comped, I think.

1534
01:34:15,440 --> 01:34:15,920
Yeah.

1535
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:17,160
So they get it.

1536
01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:17,920
Yeah, they get it.

1537
01:34:17,920 --> 01:34:18,960
I'm dunking this for it.

1538
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:20,520
I know you paid you got all the presents.

1539
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:22,040
That was fun.

1540
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:24,760
But I was just assuming the hotel would just be like, we're

1541
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:25,520
so sorry here.

1542
01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:27,480
Have have the have the suite.

1543
01:34:27,480 --> 01:34:30,520
They still got a state sleeping on that on the bed and on the

1544
01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:33,360
floor, but Kieran gets that that big bed to himself.

1545
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:34,160
He wins.

1546
01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:38,080
And then he spent $900 on room service.

1547
01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:40,240
$900 on room service.

1548
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:41,480
Come on.

1549
01:34:41,480 --> 01:34:44,000
Come on.

1550
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:47,080
You get the turtledove scene between the two of them.

1551
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:48,480
And I think that's really sweet.

1552
01:34:48,480 --> 01:34:52,880
He's able to hear his dad all the way outside of there.

1553
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:56,200
Yeah, you guys made excellent points in in in car, especially

1554
01:34:56,200 --> 01:35:00,160
in bringing up that whole running through line of more

1555
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:02,480
like venomous side of.

1556
01:35:02,480 --> 01:35:09,400
Yeah, kind of side of the 90s and just how how people are viewing

1557
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:12,880
him and in my kind of more naive sort of mind, I still like to

1558
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:15,200
think that there's an element to that where they're really just

1559
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:18,880
trying to portray like a childlike sort of sensibility.

1560
01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:21,280
But the way that he kind of poo poo is away some of the pigeon

1561
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:23,920
ladies problems is pretty funny to me.

1562
01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:26,920
And that's why I didn't want to get to say before I move on to

1563
01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:28,480
like reviews.

1564
01:35:28,480 --> 01:35:32,400
I just didn't want to get too deep into that thought of like

1565
01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:37,760
the other because I am also aware that this is, you know, a

1566
01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:40,560
kid's film like we're not going to get too deep here.

1567
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:43,680
Everything's going to be surface level and we're going to move

1568
01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:45,440
through things quickly.

1569
01:35:45,440 --> 01:35:49,520
So I didn't want to get too deep into that, but it was just

1570
01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:52,480
something that I was more aware of this time watching or

1571
01:35:52,480 --> 01:35:53,600
watching it again.

1572
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:56,640
Yeah, I mean, the taxi guy just has a scar on his face.

1573
01:35:56,640 --> 01:35:58,240
He's like, it ain't much better in here.

1574
01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:00,160
I got a scary face.

1575
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:03,440
Yeah, but, you know, like I just try to give it the benefit

1576
01:36:03,440 --> 01:36:03,760
of the doubt.

1577
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:05,760
Like Kevin is scared.

1578
01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:07,680
He's alone.

1579
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:10,720
He's run out of his safety net, like we said.

1580
01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:14,640
And yeah, anything can be scary for him.

1581
01:36:14,640 --> 01:36:22,880
But, you know, I just, yeah, I'm trying to see it in a positive

1582
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:26,720
light too and just that this is a kid's movie.

1583
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:28,240
So I'm not going to get too into it.

1584
01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:29,680
Sure.

1585
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:33,120
Yeah, but it's definitely like his representative of things,

1586
01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:35,920
of the movies being made of that time and the type of thing,

1587
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:40,080
the things that go and everything and what is present

1588
01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:45,360
in like a sequel that's already posed to be of excess.

1589
01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:48,240
Yeah, like we talked about like Richie Rich was a movie of the

1590
01:36:48,240 --> 01:36:48,720
90s.

1591
01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:53,600
Like it was cool to own things and like have things and like,

1592
01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:55,200
yeah, like just bye, bye, bye.

1593
01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:59,760
And that is just what the 90s was and that's, you know,

1594
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:02,720
where 90s kids, we get that week.

1595
01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:05,760
I was very much like that too, where I had to have the latest

1596
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:07,600
thing or like the coolest thing.

1597
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:10,480
And I don't believe that at all.

1598
01:37:10,480 --> 01:37:11,520
What, me?

1599
01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:12,720
Yeah, I don't believe that.

1600
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:14,480
No, I was such a little brat.

1601
01:37:14,480 --> 01:37:19,600
Like I had to have all the things and then just, you know,

1602
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:24,320
as you age, you realize there are other important things in life.

1603
01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:28,000
I'm sure I mentioned earlier, I had the Walkman or not a Walkman.

1604
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:28,400
What is it?

1605
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:33,440
The talk boy, whatever the fucking thing is that he has on the airplane.

1606
01:37:33,440 --> 01:37:35,520
Credit card, you got it.

1607
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:37,120
You got it.

1608
01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:38,880
Slows it down with a key.

1609
01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:39,920
This is the dad.

1610
01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:43,280
I had one of those and I'm sure my my parents got so fucking

1611
01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:46,400
annoyed at Mr. McAllister and regretted getting me that.

1612
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:48,640
And I lost it at one point, but there's a part of me that's

1613
01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:53,680
convinced that they fucking just grabbed it and threw it off.

1614
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:57,600
The pier or something, because I would just probably just like speed up and

1615
01:37:57,600 --> 01:37:59,920
slow down and record all these things.

1616
01:37:59,920 --> 01:38:02,240
Maybe that I shouldn't be recording and all this stuff.

1617
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:07,760
I know this is just you think a lot of kids back then like wanted that then?

1618
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:09,040
Like whatever.

1619
01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:09,760
I know I did.

1620
01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:11,360
I was so fucking stuck on that.

1621
01:38:11,360 --> 01:38:11,680
Oh yeah.

1622
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:12,400
It was a lot of fun.

1623
01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:12,960
I know anything.

1624
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:15,840
I would bring my friends and stuff and we'd mess with it.

1625
01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:18,400
And now it's just, you know, just download an app.

1626
01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:18,960
You're good to go.

1627
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:29,360
Yeah, like seeing seeing him have a tape recorder and a Walkman are both very cool.

1628
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:34,400
Then again, I can't understand how cool it is to get into a limo with a cheese

1629
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:36,400
pizza and a Coca Cola with a TV screen.

1630
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:37,280
I mean, good Lord.

1631
01:38:39,440 --> 01:38:44,320
That's just every kid's dream back then.

1632
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:44,640
Yeah.

1633
01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:46,080
No, you're absolutely right.

1634
01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:48,480
Like that was just the coolest thing.

1635
01:38:48,480 --> 01:38:50,080
That was the coolest.

1636
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:53,200
You don't know like about other cool things.

1637
01:38:53,200 --> 01:38:54,640
That's the coolest thing.

1638
01:38:54,640 --> 01:38:54,960
Right.

1639
01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:55,280
Yeah.

1640
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:56,800
Oh, that was like peak.

1641
01:38:56,800 --> 01:39:01,440
Like I would go and then he's just like, well, obviously I'd go to the best candy

1642
01:39:01,440 --> 01:39:02,880
store in the world or sorry.

1643
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:05,120
Toy store toys in the world.

1644
01:39:05,760 --> 01:39:11,360
And excuse me, James, bring me to the finest toy store.

1645
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:13,760
And like the toy store really is the best toy store.

1646
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:14,800
You can play with all the toys.

1647
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:19,120
They make a point of that and he gets to talk to Duncan.

1648
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:21,840
That's just a little magical scene between them to you.

1649
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:24,720
Like Duncan himself seems like seems like Dumbledore magic.

1650
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:26,800
Something's going on there.

1651
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:29,360
But let me get into some reviews here.

1652
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:32,480
It also makes me think I'm going to pull this up while we do reviews.

1653
01:39:32,480 --> 01:39:33,440
I'll interject later.

1654
01:39:33,440 --> 01:39:37,920
But what is the top holiday toys of 2023?

1655
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:40,400
Oh, that's a good question.

1656
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:44,400
I'll say now, but I would almost be curious of 1992 when this movie came out.

1657
01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:46,080
The hottest toys.

1658
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:47,040
I got them right here.

1659
01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:49,520
Hot as toys of this year.

1660
01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:51,760
Furby's back.

1661
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:55,440
Furby is back.

1662
01:39:55,440 --> 01:39:56,240
No way.

1663
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:58,080
Furby is now interactive.

1664
01:39:58,960 --> 01:39:59,520
Okay.

1665
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:00,800
Essentially has AI.

1666
01:40:01,680 --> 01:40:03,200
Sounds like the new truckie movie.

1667
01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:06,560
It's got 600 responses.

1668
01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:11,040
Yeah.

1669
01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:14,240
Yeah. It's got five modes.

1670
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:20,160
I don't know what that means, but I love how on the listing it's Hey Bestie.

1671
01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:21,200
Do they look like this?

1672
01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:23,920
I know they don't.

1673
01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:24,640
But they did.

1674
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:31,120
I it's just this is the kind of energy I would love them to have when I'm over.

1675
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:32,960
And I never get it.

1676
01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:34,000
Look at this.

1677
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:34,880
I would do the same thing.

1678
01:40:34,880 --> 01:40:37,600
I would hold and just like on my lap.

1679
01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:38,800
But okay.

1680
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:44,320
So what else we got for 2023 in Mr. Pooperton in 92?

1681
01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:45,440
It's Barbie, baby.

1682
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:46,880
Oh, of course.

1683
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:48,320
It's Barbie, baby.

1684
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:49,200
AI Barbie.

1685
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:50,000
I want to Barbie.

1686
01:40:51,760 --> 01:41:00,400
Barbie's dream house a 75 plus pieces dream house 130 bucks based on the movie.

1687
01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:03,200
Look at this.

1688
01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:07,280
I mean, this seems kind of I'm gonna I'm gonna post it in the chat.

1689
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:08,560
Not this.

1690
01:41:09,440 --> 01:41:11,440
The perspective seems very weird.

1691
01:41:11,440 --> 01:41:15,280
Doesn't this girl seem like she would be taller?

1692
01:41:17,040 --> 01:41:23,440
Because I don't know if something's going on here with the perspective, but okay,

1693
01:41:23,440 --> 01:41:26,160
I'm going to post it in the general coming up right now.

1694
01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:28,640
I got a barbie's notoriously 75 or something.

1695
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:32,880
Hey, poston.

1696
01:41:32,880 --> 01:41:36,720
Oh, why does her top half look bigger than her bottom half?

1697
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:41,280
Something's going on here.

1698
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:41,760
Interesting.

1699
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:45,760
She looks like she's should be way taller.

1700
01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:50,320
Yeah, that little girl looks like the perspective looks like her bottom half is five feet behind her.

1701
01:41:52,720 --> 01:41:54,080
Gar, are you seeing this?

1702
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:55,280
Wait, I'm so confused.

1703
01:41:55,280 --> 01:41:56,400
Can you explain that again?

1704
01:41:57,040 --> 01:41:59,520
The top half is bigger than her bottom half.

1705
01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:01,520
Like.

1706
01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:07,680
She's got like tiny feet and a big head.

1707
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:10,400
That's exactly what I was trying to say.

1708
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:13,360
But in a polite way, are you saying she has a big head?

1709
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:13,600
Yeah.

1710
01:42:14,480 --> 01:42:19,440
Yeah, we are something with the portioning of the I don't know how they photoshopped the house to look

1711
01:42:19,440 --> 01:42:19,840
around.

1712
01:42:19,840 --> 01:42:20,080
No.

1713
01:42:21,440 --> 01:42:22,160
Could it be?

1714
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:23,360
I don't know.

1715
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:24,080
It could be.

1716
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:25,040
Do you not wait.

1717
01:42:25,040 --> 01:42:27,680
So, Karlie, you don't immediately get this sense because James.

1718
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:28,480
No, I do.

1719
01:42:28,480 --> 01:42:34,080
Got onto what I was saying is like weirdly, it looks like she is too small.

1720
01:42:35,120 --> 01:42:38,080
Like her legs are smaller than her top half.

1721
01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:39,920
I completely agree with you.

1722
01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:44,400
But I'm also wondering if it's also the hair that's doing that.

1723
01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:46,720
It is that too.

1724
01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:47,840
Do you think it's the hair?

1725
01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:54,320
Because like if her hair was just in a ponytail, like like a low ponytail, would it make a difference?

1726
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:55,920
It would make a difference.

1727
01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:59,600
Her hair looks so volumptuous, like as like kind of like adult like.

1728
01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:02,080
Look how big that Barbie house is.

1729
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:04,240
Okay, let's let's move on from the visual element.

1730
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:08,560
Just going through minute detail of visual.

1731
01:43:08,560 --> 01:43:13,520
Speaking of Barbie, one last thing just last night watched on a Max.

1732
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:17,680
You can watch Barbie the movie with director's commentary.

1733
01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:18,640
Oh, perfect.

1734
01:43:18,640 --> 01:43:22,640
And I watched watched it last night with the credit girl wakes commentary.

1735
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:24,800
Everybody go do that.

1736
01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:26,800
She seems like a wonderful person.

1737
01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:30,800
She seems like such a smart, cool person that made an amazing movie.

1738
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:33,760
She's got married to Noah Bombang.

1739
01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:35,120
They just got married?

1740
01:43:35,120 --> 01:43:35,920
I think so.

1741
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:37,120
No, they've been married for.

1742
01:43:37,120 --> 01:43:38,320
Just got married.

1743
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:39,120
Just got married.

1744
01:43:39,120 --> 01:43:40,960
Okay, then they got a kid for a minute.

1745
01:43:43,360 --> 01:43:45,520
Noah Bomback has made some interesting movies.

1746
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:50,560
I was just trying to explain this to Danny the other day about Noah Bomback.

1747
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:52,720
He made this movie called Squid and the Whale.

1748
01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:54,960
That's a cool movie.

1749
01:43:54,960 --> 01:44:02,000
That talks a lot about like this class system is very, very a big deal in that movie.

1750
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:08,960
Because especially there's a whole thing about the kid wanting to be as smart as his dad.

1751
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:14,560
And his dad is like very like a whole ish like intellectual.

1752
01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:21,120
And there's that whole part of the movie of like his kid trying and wanting to be as

1753
01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:23,040
smart as his dad wants him to be.

1754
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:24,640
And it's very interesting.

1755
01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:29,360
Do you have any toys from 92 or shall we move on to reviews?

1756
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:31,360
Sorry, toys from 92.

1757
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:32,000
My bad.

1758
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:32,480
Okay.

1759
01:44:32,480 --> 01:44:35,200
Before we get too into squid and the whale.

1760
01:44:36,480 --> 01:44:38,480
I think we're two hours in there.

1761
01:44:38,480 --> 01:44:40,000
Oh, damn it.

1762
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:41,440
I thought we were doing good on time.

1763
01:44:41,440 --> 01:44:42,160
Never mind.

1764
01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:43,520
Maybe not something like that.

1765
01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:44,640
Top toys of what?

1766
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:48,480
We're doing top toys of 92 or I can move right on to reviews.

1767
01:44:48,480 --> 01:44:51,840
No, let's do I want to see the top toys in 92.

1768
01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:52,960
Top toys.

1769
01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:55,200
I bet at Barbie Dreamhouse in there as well.

1770
01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:58,400
Maybe for a little too early for a Furby.

1771
01:44:58,400 --> 01:44:59,760
Another shameless plug.

1772
01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:05,840
I just want this Hulu documentary that breaks up episodes of the 90s.

1773
01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:07,200
I was so close.

1774
01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:09,440
Oh, I think I know what you're talking about.

1775
01:45:09,440 --> 01:45:12,560
Yeah, it breaks up these trends in the 90s that are like fucked up.

1776
01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:13,360
Grab another drink.

1777
01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:14,240
I'll be right back.

1778
01:45:14,240 --> 01:45:15,360
What is it called again?

1779
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:17,360
I think it's called the 90s.

1780
01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:18,800
What is it called again?

1781
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:24,560
It's called like the the the failings of the 90s are like how the 90s

1782
01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:26,160
destroyed us or some shit like that.

1783
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:28,960
OK, no, I have not seen that.

1784
01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:30,480
Oh, OK.

1785
01:45:30,480 --> 01:45:34,160
So there's this whole episode on beanie babies.

1786
01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:36,720
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

1787
01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:44,480
And it's crazy to think about beanie babies where they were a thing like the way that

1788
01:45:44,480 --> 01:45:50,320
it puts it out is really great like things about beanie beanie babies influence on eBay.

1789
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:59,200
And then eBay gets you to like people selling sneakers on fucking on those apps where like

1790
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:00,800
sneaker cultures, the whole thing.

1791
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:04,640
And then you get to like supreme and how they operate.

1792
01:46:04,640 --> 01:46:05,680
It's crazy.

1793
01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:11,040
You're just talking about like so the guy who invented beanie beanie babies was like

1794
01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:19,360
looked at the market of his product and like regulated it and in like inner interjected scarcity

1795
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:22,080
in ways to drive a value of his own product.

1796
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:26,720
Yeah, it's so interesting to think about the beanie babies.

1797
01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:28,720
Did you watch the beanie baby movie?

1798
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:33,520
No, with Elizabeth Banks and what's his name?

1799
01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:34,160
What's his name?

1800
01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:35,520
No, I don't know.

1801
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:39,200
The guy from the hangover in between two firms.

1802
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:41,040
Hmm, Zach Alfinakis.

1803
01:46:41,040 --> 01:46:43,040
That one was pretty interesting.

1804
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:47,040
Oh, shit from succession, isn't it too?

1805
01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:52,000
Dude, another documentary that I would recommend is the it's on max.

1806
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:52,720
It's about this.

1807
01:46:52,720 --> 01:46:56,880
It's like I am love or like mother.

1808
01:46:56,880 --> 01:46:57,440
Yes.

1809
01:46:57,440 --> 01:46:58,640
Oh my God.

1810
01:46:58,640 --> 01:46:59,120
Yep.

1811
01:46:59,120 --> 01:47:01,120
I just finished that the other day.

1812
01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:01,680
So good.

1813
01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:04,560
I was talking to my mom about it.

1814
01:47:04,560 --> 01:47:09,440
I was like, mom, because she gets she falls into this shit.

1815
01:47:09,440 --> 01:47:09,920
Yeah.

1816
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:13,280
And I could see myself falling into that ship.

1817
01:47:13,280 --> 01:47:20,960
But I just know like when so much commitment is involved or like this loyalty aspect of

1818
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:22,400
things, that's where I would fall off.

1819
01:47:22,400 --> 01:47:25,200
Like I just feel like this is my work.

1820
01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:28,640
The thing that really got me was the drinking the silver.

1821
01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:30,560
Oh my gosh, she was blue.

1822
01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:32,080
She turned me back.

1823
01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:34,640
Oh my gosh, she was blue.

1824
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:39,600
She turned blue, but that was that was such a huge thing amongst like.

1825
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:43,360
I'm sorry, but like mainly chicks that are into like crystals and stuff.

1826
01:47:43,360 --> 01:47:44,960
I didn't know anything about that.

1827
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:46,160
I like it.

1828
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:52,720
And it's this whole idea that the government is out to get you and like general medicine

1829
01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:54,480
doesn't know what they're talking about.

1830
01:47:54,480 --> 01:47:57,520
And they're just influenced by the pharmaceutical industry.

1831
01:47:57,520 --> 01:48:01,280
And realistically, there's all these other supplements that you should be taking

1832
01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:03,360
because they're actually better for you.

1833
01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:07,280
And then they get down this path that they're drinking fucking silver.

1834
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:09,920
And then she's turning into a blue person that can't walk.

1835
01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:11,120
How are we doing over here?

1836
01:48:11,120 --> 01:48:11,680
What's going on?

1837
01:48:12,400 --> 01:48:13,280
Okay, sorry.

1838
01:48:13,280 --> 01:48:14,960
Anyways, I walked away for a second.

1839
01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:16,160
Now we're talking about blue people.

1840
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:17,360
What are these smurfs?

1841
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:19,520
Is that how the smurfs came to be?

1842
01:48:20,320 --> 01:48:21,680
I just that document.

1843
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:22,080
Okay.

1844
01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:22,720
Anyways, yeah.

1845
01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:25,920
Are those the toys of 92 are smurfs?

1846
01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:27,600
The toys of 92.

1847
01:48:27,600 --> 01:48:29,520
I got I got you right here.

1848
01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:30,320
I got you right here.

1849
01:48:30,320 --> 01:48:32,240
We're talking tickle me Elmo, baby.

1850
01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:35,680
Oh, tickle me Elmo.

1851
01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:36,400
Let's go.

1852
01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:36,880
Okay.

1853
01:48:39,600 --> 01:48:40,800
Super soakers.

1854
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,080
Also a big one.

1855
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:44,640
I wonder what the 92 model look like.

1856
01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:46,720
I wonder if there was any exels in there.

1857
01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:47,280
Yeah.

1858
01:48:47,280 --> 01:48:51,920
I remember when I was, I mean, hot wheels are still rocking and rolling big time.

1859
01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:54,080
Barbie's still up in it.

1860
01:48:55,120 --> 01:48:58,400
And now we're also introducing X-Men action figures.

1861
01:48:58,400 --> 01:49:06,320
And comic book culture in the sense of, yeah, like really influencing children who have

1862
01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:13,280
now grown up into baby men who like Marvel is really around this time of like X-Men the

1863
01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:15,200
TV show buying X-Men stuff.

1864
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:21,360
There was no a Marvin Harry action figures that were really taken off.

1865
01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:23,120
I would love that.

1866
01:49:23,840 --> 01:49:26,240
And then there's just and then you get.

1867
01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:29,600
Harry and he's got a skeleton.

1868
01:49:29,600 --> 01:49:33,600
Can you get that for me for Christmas in a couple years?

1869
01:49:33,600 --> 01:49:36,560
Where is your Christmas present is coming?

1870
01:49:37,920 --> 01:49:41,680
It's the most wonderful time of the year.

1871
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:46,400
Are we ready for some critic reviews, ladies and gentlemen, lady and gentle man?

1872
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:48,880
Yeah.

1873
01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:49,360
Yeah.

1874
01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:49,860
Okay.

1875
01:49:49,860 --> 01:49:50,360
Yep.

1876
01:49:50,360 --> 01:49:50,860
Yeah.

1877
01:49:50,860 --> 01:49:51,360
Yeah.

1878
01:49:51,360 --> 01:49:51,860
Yeah.

1879
01:49:51,860 --> 01:49:52,360
Yeah.

1880
01:49:52,360 --> 01:49:52,860
Yeah.

1881
01:49:52,860 --> 01:49:53,360
Yeah.

1882
01:49:53,360 --> 01:49:53,860
Yeah.

1883
01:49:53,860 --> 01:49:54,360
Yeah.

1884
01:49:54,360 --> 01:49:54,860
Yeah.

1885
01:49:54,860 --> 01:49:55,360
Yeah.

1886
01:49:55,360 --> 01:49:55,860
Yeah.

1887
01:49:55,860 --> 01:49:56,360
Yeah.

1888
01:49:56,360 --> 01:49:56,860
Yeah.

1889
01:49:56,860 --> 01:49:58,680
It's 35% from the critics.

1890
01:49:58,680 --> 01:50:00,760
It's a 62% from the audience.

1891
01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:03,800
It's pretty divisive.

1892
01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:08,600
It's a review by Janet Maslin from New York Times.

1893
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:12,840
She says it's much more violent than the first film's comparable set of dirty tricks.

1894
01:50:12,840 --> 01:50:18,280
And Kevin removed from his embattled home seems much more cavalier, possibly even meaner

1895
01:50:18,280 --> 01:50:21,240
than his bullying older brother, Buzz.

1896
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:26,840
Saying Kevin is meaner than Buzz.

1897
01:50:26,840 --> 01:50:28,440
Let's see.

1898
01:50:28,440 --> 01:50:28,940
Let's see.

1899
01:50:28,940 --> 01:50:34,840
Let's see what else we got here from Dave Kerr, Chicago Tribune.

1900
01:50:34,840 --> 01:50:39,800
The pleasures here are entirely cruel with an unhealthy concentration on the suffering

1901
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:45,720
of the victims on the thudding impact of various objects against their heads on their howls

1902
01:50:45,720 --> 01:50:46,720
of agony.

1903
01:50:46,720 --> 01:50:48,720
Howls of agony.

1904
01:50:48,720 --> 01:50:51,440
It's the name of our guild.

1905
01:50:51,440 --> 01:50:53,280
Ah, yes.

1906
01:50:53,280 --> 01:50:56,720
From Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times.

1907
01:50:56,720 --> 01:51:01,000
The result with some exceptions plays like an over elaborate parody of the first film,

1908
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:07,520
reminding us why we enjoyed it without being able to duplicate its appeal.

1909
01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:11,520
And from Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago reader.

1910
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:14,680
Filmmakers stick like glue to the formula of the original.

1911
01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:18,720
A little boy from a well to do family left on his own is threatened by low life working

1912
01:51:18,720 --> 01:51:25,160
class crooks from whom he repeatedly foils and tortures working class and upscale property

1913
01:51:25,160 --> 01:51:28,160
values prevail.

1914
01:51:28,160 --> 01:51:30,520
Just a scathing indictment on the working class.

1915
01:51:30,520 --> 01:51:34,760
This movie, that's what we're going to.

1916
01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:40,440
I'll read a little bit of Roger Ebert's review as well.

1917
01:51:40,440 --> 01:51:43,680
You gave it a two.

1918
01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:47,400
I have a feeling that home alone to Los Angeles is going to be an enormous box.

1919
01:51:47,400 --> 01:51:48,640
He didn't even like the first one.

1920
01:51:48,640 --> 01:51:52,360
An enormous box office success, but include me out.

1921
01:51:52,360 --> 01:51:54,120
Include me out.

1922
01:51:54,120 --> 01:51:58,480
I didn't much like the first film and I don't much like this one with its sadistic little

1923
01:51:58,480 --> 01:52:04,840
hero who mercilessly, mercilessly hammers a couple of slow learning crooks.

1924
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:06,560
Nardid I'm in a body bath.

1925
01:52:06,560 --> 01:52:12,320
Enjoy the shameless attempt to leaven the mayhem by including a preachy subplot about

1926
01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:14,440
the pigeon lady of Central Park.

1927
01:52:14,440 --> 01:52:15,920
Call me hard hearted.

1928
01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:19,920
Call me cynical, but please don't call me if they make home alone three.

1929
01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:22,280
I know I know the violence is all a joke.

1930
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:26,760
Some of the gags are lifted directly from older old color cartoons and in spirit.

1931
01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:30,880
What we're looking at here are Roadrunner adventures with the crooks playing the role

1932
01:52:30,880 --> 01:52:36,000
of Wiley Coyote as the two hapless mobs fall down ladders and get slammed by bricks and

1933
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:41,880
500 bound 500 pound bags of cement and covered with glue and paint and bird seed.

1934
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:45,680
You can hear the cackling of the old Looney Tunes heroes in the background.

1935
01:52:45,680 --> 01:52:48,640
And just like in the cartoons, the crooks are never really hurt.

1936
01:52:48,640 --> 01:52:52,840
They bounce back, dust themselves off, bend their bones back into shape and are ready

1937
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:56,280
for the next adventure when little Kevin taunts them.

1938
01:52:56,280 --> 01:53:02,720
He sounds like Bugs Bunny and when they chase him, they're in the tradition of Elmer Fudd.

1939
01:53:02,720 --> 01:53:07,160
And then I'll just do the end here.

1940
01:53:07,160 --> 01:53:08,160
Is this a children's movie?

1941
01:53:08,160 --> 01:53:09,680
I confess, I do not know.

1942
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:11,400
Millions of kids will go to see it.

1943
01:53:11,400 --> 01:53:15,080
There used to be movies where it was bad for little kids to hurt grownups.

1944
01:53:15,080 --> 01:53:19,880
Now Kevin bounces bricks off their skulls from the rooftops and everybody laughs, including

1945
01:53:19,880 --> 01:53:20,880
me.

1946
01:53:20,880 --> 01:53:23,800
The question isn't whether the movie will scare the children in the audience.

1947
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:27,320
It's whether the adults will be able to peek between their fingers.

1948
01:53:27,320 --> 01:53:28,320
Yeah.

1949
01:53:28,320 --> 01:53:33,960
And a lot of what he has to say is just this violence is funny for Looney Tunes and cartoons,

1950
01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:35,960
but not in live action.

1951
01:53:35,960 --> 01:53:38,160
I was very uncomfortable.

1952
01:53:38,160 --> 01:53:40,280
Like it was hard for me to watch it.

1953
01:53:40,280 --> 01:53:42,480
Yeah, it was hard.

1954
01:53:42,480 --> 01:53:44,080
Thankfully, so people are getting maimed.

1955
01:53:44,080 --> 01:53:45,080
Yeah.

1956
01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:49,160
Like you're not a weirdo for like, oh, no, I don't want somebody to.

1957
01:53:49,160 --> 01:53:53,280
Yeah, I do think over the top.

1958
01:53:53,280 --> 01:53:54,280
That's what gets me.

1959
01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:56,280
I'm just so over the top.

1960
01:53:56,280 --> 01:53:57,280
I love it.

1961
01:53:57,280 --> 01:54:01,960
And like after hearing these reviews, I'm realizing like the first one did have like

1962
01:54:01,960 --> 01:54:04,800
this innocent kind of nature to it.

1963
01:54:04,800 --> 01:54:06,920
It doesn't feel that way in this one anymore.

1964
01:54:06,920 --> 01:54:07,920
More defensive.

1965
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:08,920
Yeah.

1966
01:54:08,920 --> 01:54:09,920
He's like, yeah.

1967
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:12,920
He's like, yeah, I'm fucking fucking with him.

1968
01:54:12,920 --> 01:54:15,520
Is that to the point of it being in New York?

1969
01:54:15,520 --> 01:54:18,920
Oh, well, rough around the edges.

1970
01:54:18,920 --> 01:54:19,920
Yeah.

1971
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:20,920
He's a full New York guy.

1972
01:54:20,920 --> 01:54:21,920
What do you think?

1973
01:54:21,920 --> 01:54:27,880
Is this the most New York movie we've ever seen?

1974
01:54:27,880 --> 01:54:29,920
We're not the people to judge, I think.

1975
01:54:29,920 --> 01:54:34,840
Just some California dudes and dudettes.

1976
01:54:34,840 --> 01:54:36,920
I'll do some Yosufa dudes.

1977
01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:37,920
Yosufa dudes.

1978
01:54:37,920 --> 01:54:42,920
I mean, I got my, I got my, my son, my glass.

1979
01:54:42,920 --> 01:54:44,920
I got, I'm like a beat.

1980
01:54:44,920 --> 01:54:45,920
Oh, he's a beat.

1981
01:54:45,920 --> 01:54:46,920
Oh, he's a beat.

1982
01:54:46,920 --> 01:54:48,920
He looks like he's John Lennon.

1983
01:54:48,920 --> 01:54:50,920
I'm like a, I'm John Lennon.

1984
01:54:50,920 --> 01:54:52,920
John Lennon right now.

1985
01:54:52,920 --> 01:54:54,920
Why are those so tiny?

1986
01:54:54,920 --> 01:54:59,920
You look like you have like a beat.

1987
01:54:59,920 --> 01:55:02,920
So I look like a beat.

1988
01:55:02,920 --> 01:55:04,920
He's a beat.

1989
01:55:04,920 --> 01:55:06,920
I'm a beat.

1990
01:55:06,920 --> 01:55:09,920
He did it.

1991
01:55:09,920 --> 01:55:11,920
I can't believe you.

1992
01:55:11,920 --> 01:55:12,920
I can't believe you've done this.

1993
01:55:12,920 --> 01:55:13,920
You've turned into a beat.

1994
01:55:13,920 --> 01:55:15,920
It's the most visual episode.

1995
01:55:15,920 --> 01:55:17,920
There's so much going on.

1996
01:55:17,920 --> 01:55:18,920
That is not apparent.

1997
01:55:18,920 --> 01:55:22,920
This is why you have to watch us on Twitch.

1998
01:55:22,920 --> 01:55:25,920
A 62% by the audience.

1999
01:55:25,920 --> 01:55:29,920
Let's hear some words from the people of the five star

2000
01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:31,920
varietal from Dan D.

2001
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:32,920
Five stars.

2002
01:55:32,920 --> 01:55:36,920
Such an iconic Christmas movie.

2003
01:55:36,920 --> 01:55:39,920
A Christmas movie you honestly can't go without watching one of

2004
01:55:39,920 --> 01:55:41,920
the home alone movies.

2005
01:55:41,920 --> 01:55:44,920
I remember watching this for the first time during my childhood

2006
01:55:44,920 --> 01:55:47,920
back in elementary school and finally decided to finally

2007
01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:50,920
rewatch it on Christmas for the second time.

2008
01:55:50,920 --> 01:55:52,920
And the amount of nostalgia it gave me was amazing.

2009
01:55:52,920 --> 01:55:55,920
Like even though I only watched this for the first time during

2010
01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:57,920
my childhood, I still remembered most of the movie and what

2011
01:55:57,920 --> 01:55:58,920
happened.

2012
01:55:58,920 --> 01:56:01,920
And it's honestly very difficult to find any humorous Christmas

2013
01:56:01,920 --> 01:56:04,920
movie classics or Christmas movies created in general like this

2014
01:56:04,920 --> 01:56:07,920
one that don't ever do it.

2015
01:56:07,920 --> 01:56:10,920
It's movie with humor, but yet emotion giving you a true meaning

2016
01:56:10,920 --> 01:56:13,920
for Christmas in a sense, which is love and to enjoy it to the

2017
01:56:13,920 --> 01:56:15,920
fullest with those you love.

2018
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:17,920
Thankful and not take things for granted.

2019
01:56:17,920 --> 01:56:20,920
A movie that is true truly unforgettable.

2020
01:56:20,920 --> 01:56:22,920
And personally, in my opinion, the best movie out of all the

2021
01:56:22,920 --> 01:56:27,920
home alone movies, one with humor, emotion and yet meaning.

2022
01:56:27,920 --> 01:56:29,920
Of course, the first one is also amazing and the one that

2023
01:56:29,920 --> 01:56:32,920
started all both are perfect.

2024
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:35,920
But I would still rank this first because they honestly nailed it

2025
01:56:35,920 --> 01:56:38,920
once again with even today is something very difficult to do

2026
01:56:38,920 --> 01:56:41,920
when a sequel comes out or when they have to create a new story.

2027
01:56:41,920 --> 01:56:42,920
Such a great movie.

2028
01:56:42,920 --> 01:56:46,920
And what what a cast they had, especially in the number of icons

2029
01:56:46,920 --> 01:56:50,920
as well as legends they had truly unforgettable and always worth

2030
01:56:50,920 --> 01:56:51,920
a watch.

2031
01:56:51,920 --> 01:56:54,920
Of course, there are always jokes of it like that Kevin could

2032
01:56:54,920 --> 01:56:56,920
have always phoned the police at any time.

2033
01:56:56,920 --> 01:56:59,920
And all his troubles would have been gone.

2034
01:56:59,920 --> 01:57:02,920
But that's what makes this movie unique and funny.

2035
01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:04,920
We got to experience his journey throughout all the hilarious

2036
01:57:04,920 --> 01:57:06,920
meaningful movies.

2037
01:57:06,920 --> 01:57:08,920
Glad to have watched this once again, especially with my twin

2038
01:57:08,920 --> 01:57:11,920
brother, which has always been a tradition of ours to pick out

2039
01:57:11,920 --> 01:57:13,920
a movie to watch on Christmas.

2040
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:14,920
That's sweet.

2041
01:57:14,920 --> 01:57:16,920
I'm going to start funny.

2042
01:57:16,920 --> 01:57:20,920
That's the sweetest thing.

2043
01:57:20,920 --> 01:57:22,920
Sweetest thing I've ever.

2044
01:57:22,920 --> 01:57:27,920
This movie is one of the best.

2045
01:57:27,920 --> 01:57:30,920
OK, you're ready for Dexter Ford.

2046
01:57:30,920 --> 01:57:31,920
Five stars.

2047
01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:36,920
Homelones Kevin McAllister is a psychopath rivaled only by Patrick

2048
01:57:36,920 --> 01:57:38,920
Bateman and Jigsaw.

2049
01:57:38,920 --> 01:57:41,920
Kevin woke up feeling dangerous and tortured two petty criminal

2050
01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:42,920
criminals.

2051
01:57:42,920 --> 01:57:44,920
Yes, but two nonviolent criminals.

2052
01:57:44,920 --> 01:57:47,920
Remember, they had waited until the family had left to

2053
01:57:47,920 --> 01:57:51,920
burgle the place in Homelone one and Homelone two Kevin McAllister

2054
01:57:51,920 --> 01:57:56,920
went even further and lured Lord Harry and Marv to the booby

2055
01:57:56,920 --> 01:57:59,920
trapped building to carry out these acts of horrific violence.

2056
01:57:59,920 --> 01:58:02,920
A list of some of the horrific crimes Kevin McAllister

2057
01:58:02,920 --> 01:58:05,920
committed in the second film alone.

2058
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:07,920
Here we go.

2059
01:58:07,920 --> 01:58:10,920
Harry with his head on fire doing a handstand into a toilet

2060
01:58:10,920 --> 01:58:13,920
bowl replaced with kerosene full body third degree burns

2061
01:58:13,920 --> 01:58:16,920
launching a brick off a forestry building directly on a Marv's

2062
01:58:16,920 --> 01:58:17,920
forehead.

2063
01:58:17,920 --> 01:58:19,920
One is enough for irreversible brain damage.

2064
01:58:19,920 --> 01:58:22,920
Kevin does this three more times.

2065
01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:24,920
Douse's Marvin paint.

2066
01:58:24,920 --> 01:58:27,920
The tap Marv uses to try and wash the paint off has been rigged

2067
01:58:27,920 --> 01:58:31,920
to electrocute him frying him into a skeleton literally used

2068
01:58:31,920 --> 01:58:34,920
for executions.

2069
01:58:34,920 --> 01:58:37,920
Rigging a staple gun through the keyhole firing directly into

2070
01:58:37,920 --> 01:58:40,920
Marv's face, ass and balls.

2071
01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:42,920
Relatively little physical damage.

2072
01:58:42,920 --> 01:58:44,920
This one's just for enjoyment.

2073
01:58:44,920 --> 01:58:50,920
Dropping an iron from four stories directly onto Marv's skull.

2074
01:58:50,920 --> 01:58:52,920
It's stunning Marv is still breathing.

2075
01:58:52,920 --> 01:58:54,920
Both Harry and Marv still throw.

2076
01:58:54,920 --> 01:58:57,920
Oh, both Harry and Marv fall three stories after Kevin sets

2077
01:58:57,920 --> 01:59:00,920
their rope, doused in kerosene on fire.

2078
01:59:00,920 --> 01:59:02,920
He watches them squirm.

2079
01:59:02,920 --> 01:59:05,920
Kevin McAllister carries out these brutal acts all while

2080
01:59:05,920 --> 01:59:08,920
taunting them and enjoying every second.

2081
01:59:08,920 --> 01:59:10,920
Home Alone One takes place in Chicago, Illinois.

2082
01:59:10,920 --> 01:59:13,920
Illinois only repealed the death penalty in the second film

2083
01:59:13,920 --> 01:59:15,920
in 2011.

2084
01:59:15,920 --> 01:59:19,920
Kevin McAllister, I don't know why I can't say his last name

2085
01:59:19,920 --> 01:59:20,920
right now.

2086
01:59:20,920 --> 01:59:22,920
Should have faced the firing squad after the first film,

2087
01:59:22,920 --> 01:59:24,920
eight years old or not.

2088
01:59:24,920 --> 01:59:26,920
One of my favorite films.

2089
01:59:26,920 --> 01:59:29,920
He is seriously the next Patrick Bateman.

2090
01:59:29,920 --> 01:59:31,920
For sure.

2091
01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:34,920
He's a little baby Bateman.

2092
01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:37,920
Do I do one more?

2093
01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:40,920
It's I mean, it's there's some excellent, excellent reviews

2094
01:59:40,920 --> 01:59:42,920
here.

2095
01:59:42,920 --> 01:59:45,920
I think it's also credit card credit card fraud.

2096
01:59:45,920 --> 01:59:47,920
Like.

2097
01:59:47,920 --> 01:59:53,920
He's still like, let's like, let's talk about that right now.

2098
01:59:53,920 --> 01:59:57,920
We do not stand for a credit card fraud on this.

2099
01:59:57,920 --> 02:00:00,920
This light is so.

2100
02:00:00,920 --> 02:00:05,920
He's represented so cavalierly in this movie is a real

2101
02:00:05,920 --> 02:00:07,920
knock against it.

2102
02:00:07,920 --> 02:00:11,920
I think I might have found that dude's twin brother.

2103
02:00:11,920 --> 02:00:12,920
What does he have to say?

2104
02:00:12,920 --> 02:00:13,920
Does he like it?

2105
02:00:13,920 --> 02:00:17,920
Because it's like it's stamped with the 1226 22 at the end,

2106
02:00:17,920 --> 02:00:19,920
which was also the other guys.

2107
02:00:19,920 --> 02:00:24,920
And it's Ed, which the other guy was Dan D.

2108
02:00:24,920 --> 02:00:25,920
Oh, no, I lost it.

2109
02:00:25,920 --> 02:00:26,920
Here we go.

2110
02:00:26,920 --> 02:00:27,920
Five stars.

2111
02:00:27,920 --> 02:00:30,920
What a film decided to rewatch it on Christmas and it legit

2112
02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:33,920
gave me so many throwbacks hard to find comedic films like

2113
02:00:33,920 --> 02:00:34,920
these that don't overdo it.

2114
02:00:34,920 --> 02:00:37,920
An iconic film for the season and an unforgettable one.

2115
02:00:37,920 --> 02:00:40,920
This one and the first one were legit perfections from the

2116
02:00:40,920 --> 02:00:41,920
franchise.

2117
02:00:41,920 --> 02:00:45,920
Great story, comedy, emotion and what a cast in their prime.

2118
02:00:45,920 --> 02:00:46,920
Pretty similar.

2119
02:00:46,920 --> 02:00:49,920
Truly worth watching and always remember Kevin could have

2120
02:00:49,920 --> 02:00:53,920
phoned the police at any time and all those troubles would have

2121
02:00:53,920 --> 02:00:55,920
been gone, but it was never about that.

2122
02:00:55,920 --> 02:00:58,920
So these twins really had a discussion about the police.

2123
02:00:58,920 --> 02:01:01,920
Or is it just the same guy writing it twice?

2124
02:01:01,920 --> 02:01:02,920
That's also possible.

2125
02:01:02,920 --> 02:01:05,920
And then he's like as a twin in his mind.

2126
02:01:05,920 --> 02:01:07,920
Yeah, I don't know.

2127
02:01:07,920 --> 02:01:08,920
There's a lot of good reviews.

2128
02:01:08,920 --> 02:01:11,920
There's a lot of love coming out for this movie online and I'm

2129
02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:16,920
sure that's has to be with a lot of Christmas movies.

2130
02:01:16,920 --> 02:01:18,920
There's a lot of silly Christmas.

2131
02:01:18,920 --> 02:01:20,920
We talked about Princess Witch.

2132
02:01:20,920 --> 02:01:22,920
I'm sure I could pull up some reviews of that.

2133
02:01:22,920 --> 02:01:24,920
That would be a blast to read right now.

2134
02:01:24,920 --> 02:01:25,920
Oh, can you do one?

2135
02:01:25,920 --> 02:01:28,920
But if you were to do rotten tomatoes on any of those

2136
02:01:28,920 --> 02:01:33,920
movies, I'm sure it would be not, you know, the most swing thing

2137
02:01:33,920 --> 02:01:36,920
to get you to watch it.

2138
02:01:36,920 --> 02:01:39,920
Then let's let's talk about it from a critical sense then.

2139
02:01:39,920 --> 02:01:40,920
Yeah.

2140
02:01:40,920 --> 02:01:41,920
This movie.

2141
02:01:41,920 --> 02:01:42,920
Yeah.

2142
02:01:42,920 --> 02:01:43,920
Oh, yeah.

2143
02:01:43,920 --> 02:01:44,920
That's yeah.

2144
02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:45,920
I mean, that's that's why we're here.

2145
02:01:45,920 --> 02:01:48,920
But I but I mean to clarify, yeah, I'm also one of those people

2146
02:01:48,920 --> 02:01:52,920
that has a has affection for it.

2147
02:01:52,920 --> 02:01:53,920
That is it's tough.

2148
02:01:53,920 --> 02:01:54,920
Here's one.

2149
02:01:54,920 --> 02:01:58,920
The Princess Witch review from Hannah T five stars.

2150
02:01:58,920 --> 02:02:02,920
This movie was life changing encapsulates love and hardship

2151
02:02:02,920 --> 02:02:04,920
and finding oneself around the holiday season.

2152
02:02:04,920 --> 02:02:09,920
I can say for certain that I felt joy, sadness and overall

2153
02:02:09,920 --> 02:02:10,920
like a new woman.

2154
02:02:10,920 --> 02:02:13,920
I wish to marry a prince, but for it to be an organic love

2155
02:02:13,920 --> 02:02:17,920
story such as this one, do not skip this movie.

2156
02:02:17,920 --> 02:02:19,920
Must watch.

2157
02:02:19,920 --> 02:02:22,920
Can't wait for two and three may or may not have number two

2158
02:02:22,920 --> 02:02:24,920
starting right now.

2159
02:02:24,920 --> 02:02:27,920
Have to go popcorn is popped.

2160
02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:29,920
And that was from Marie Kondo.

2161
02:02:29,920 --> 02:02:33,920
Isn't that crazy?

2162
02:02:33,920 --> 02:02:34,920
Why?

2163
02:02:34,920 --> 02:02:36,920
Why was one Marie Kondo?

2164
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:37,920
She's far joy.

2165
02:02:37,920 --> 02:02:38,920
Okay.

2166
02:02:38,920 --> 02:02:43,920
So but she wants, she said she thought that Vanessa Hudge

2167
02:02:43,920 --> 02:02:49,920
and character Stacy found love with a prince organically.

2168
02:02:49,920 --> 02:02:50,920
Organics.

2169
02:02:50,920 --> 02:02:53,920
Or this is an organic love story.

2170
02:02:53,920 --> 02:02:57,920
I don't know about that.

2171
02:02:57,920 --> 02:02:59,920
They did have to manufacture a switch.

2172
02:02:59,920 --> 02:03:05,920
They do a lot of setup and planning and decoy.

2173
02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:07,920
I don't know.

2174
02:03:07,920 --> 02:03:09,920
Just overthink.

2175
02:03:09,920 --> 02:03:12,920
I think both of you guys are overthinking both princess switch

2176
02:03:12,920 --> 02:03:14,920
and this movie.

2177
02:03:14,920 --> 02:03:15,920
Oh my God.

2178
02:03:15,920 --> 02:03:19,920
That is escaping and Titan, but it's not based.

2179
02:03:19,920 --> 02:03:21,920
It has some facts to it.

2180
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:23,920
Yeah, it's okay.

2181
02:03:23,920 --> 02:03:26,920
Oh, I'm not thinking enough.

2182
02:03:26,920 --> 02:03:29,920
I'm blinded by nostalgia as we've talked about and it just hits

2183
02:03:29,920 --> 02:03:31,920
all the beats that I already know about.

2184
02:03:31,920 --> 02:03:36,920
And then like being told that to rethink it is an exercise in

2185
02:03:36,920 --> 02:03:38,920
itself and I enjoy it.

2186
02:03:38,920 --> 02:03:42,920
But also it's like an exercise.

2187
02:03:42,920 --> 02:03:43,920
The same way.

2188
02:03:43,920 --> 02:03:44,920
I don't know.

2189
02:03:44,920 --> 02:03:47,920
Like the movie is like you go through every, every year or so.

2190
02:03:47,920 --> 02:03:49,920
You're like, oh, I already know everything.

2191
02:03:49,920 --> 02:03:54,920
But then to reframe it is an own, like an experience in itself

2192
02:03:54,920 --> 02:03:55,920
as well.

2193
02:03:55,920 --> 02:03:56,920
I feel like space.

2194
02:03:56,920 --> 02:03:57,920
It is one for me too.

2195
02:03:57,920 --> 02:03:58,920
I was like, oh, space.

2196
02:03:58,920 --> 02:03:59,920
Oh my God.

2197
02:03:59,920 --> 02:04:00,920
Because everyone told me it was cool.

2198
02:04:00,920 --> 02:04:03,920
Like you just believe the advertisements and everything just

2199
02:04:03,920 --> 02:04:04,920
like, oh, go see space jam.

2200
02:04:04,920 --> 02:04:06,920
It's got Michael Jordan and Looney Tunes.

2201
02:04:06,920 --> 02:04:08,920
It's everything you're ever going to want.

2202
02:04:08,920 --> 02:04:11,920
And I believed it and I still kind of do, but I understand people

2203
02:04:11,920 --> 02:04:14,920
that would watch it now for the first time be like, this is not

2204
02:04:14,920 --> 02:04:18,920
good, but they did and they made a second one, which is also not

2205
02:04:18,920 --> 02:04:23,920
good, but it's okay because I still enjoy putting on everybody

2206
02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:27,920
everybody get out and slam now.

2207
02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:30,920
And it's even tough to enjoy the R Kelly song, but God damn it.

2208
02:04:30,920 --> 02:04:31,920
I try.

2209
02:04:31,920 --> 02:04:40,920
Besides that, I would like to give it to Kara to either accept

2210
02:04:40,920 --> 02:04:44,920
the first opportunity to go first or pass it along.

2211
02:04:44,920 --> 02:04:46,920
I'll go first.

2212
02:04:46,920 --> 02:04:50,920
So final thoughts and score from zero to 100.

2213
02:04:50,920 --> 02:04:52,920
As you know, you are a veteran.

2214
02:04:52,920 --> 02:04:54,920
Yeah, you're a veteran.

2215
02:04:54,920 --> 02:04:58,920
So I've just been going back and forth about, you know, letting

2216
02:04:58,920 --> 02:05:01,920
go and not being critical or overthinking.

2217
02:05:01,920 --> 02:05:03,920
But no, please, that's what we're here.

2218
02:05:03,920 --> 02:05:04,920
That's why we're here.

2219
02:05:04,920 --> 02:05:11,920
But I also can't hope that it.

2220
02:05:11,920 --> 02:05:14,920
You know, like Brandon was saying it, it did make me feel

2221
02:05:14,920 --> 02:05:16,920
disturbed for some reason.

2222
02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:21,920
Like it just wasn't as enjoyable this time around.

2223
02:05:21,920 --> 02:05:26,920
And I really was trying to.

2224
02:05:26,920 --> 02:05:29,920
Be into it and try to.

2225
02:05:29,920 --> 02:05:31,920
See it.

2226
02:05:31,920 --> 02:05:36,920
In a nostalgic way or watch it in a nostalgic way, but.

2227
02:05:36,920 --> 02:05:40,920
That's like earlier, when at the beginning of the podcast, I was

2228
02:05:40,920 --> 02:05:44,920
saying that like, I thought I had seen this a lot more than I.

2229
02:05:44,920 --> 02:05:46,920
Actually did.

2230
02:05:46,920 --> 02:05:51,920
So I must have watched the first one more.

2231
02:05:51,920 --> 02:05:55,920
Sorry, I lost my.

2232
02:05:55,920 --> 02:05:59,920
It didn't feel as nostalgic to me watching it this time around.

2233
02:05:59,920 --> 02:06:03,920
And so maybe that's why I was able to watch it in a new way and

2234
02:06:03,920 --> 02:06:06,920
realized it was like more disturbing than actually nostalgic

2235
02:06:06,920 --> 02:06:08,920
and joyful.

2236
02:06:08,920 --> 02:06:11,920
Yeah, I don't know.

2237
02:06:11,920 --> 02:06:15,920
The first one just has so much like I was saying earlier, like it

2238
02:06:15,920 --> 02:06:18,920
just felt a little more innocent and playful.

2239
02:06:18,920 --> 02:06:20,920
And maybe it was because he was at home.

2240
02:06:20,920 --> 02:06:22,920
So like he couldn't get too crazy.

2241
02:06:22,920 --> 02:06:25,920
Like, I don't know, but.

2242
02:06:25,920 --> 02:06:28,920
Yeah, it was just.

2243
02:06:28,920 --> 02:06:31,920
The parts.

2244
02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:35,920
It did feel violent to me and I'm sensitive towards.

2245
02:06:35,920 --> 02:06:37,920
All the violence and stuff.

2246
02:06:37,920 --> 02:06:41,920
So it was like hard for me to watch the last part where.

2247
02:06:41,920 --> 02:06:46,920
I was like, I don't know.

2248
02:06:46,920 --> 02:06:48,920
I was like, I don't know.

2249
02:06:48,920 --> 02:06:50,920
I was like, I don't know.

2250
02:06:50,920 --> 02:06:52,920
I was just kind of.

2251
02:06:52,920 --> 02:06:53,920
Torturing them.

2252
02:06:53,920 --> 02:06:56,920
I even said that while we were watching, I was like, he's torturing

2253
02:06:56,920 --> 02:06:59,920
them. Like, I know they're the bad guys and I get it. Like.

2254
02:06:59,920 --> 02:07:00,920
You know,

2255
02:07:00,920 --> 02:07:02,920
But it just felt hard to watch.

2256
02:07:02,920 --> 02:07:03,920
So.

2257
02:07:03,920 --> 02:07:06,920
I don't know. I think I've been going back and forth on like,

2258
02:07:06,920 --> 02:07:08,920
what kind of rating I wanted to give it.

2259
02:07:08,920 --> 02:07:11,920
I don't want to give it the benefit of the doubt that it is a kids

2260
02:07:11,920 --> 02:07:16,920
movie. It's, you know, it's, it's not like I shouldn't overthink it

2261
02:07:16,920 --> 02:07:18,920
that much, but.

2262
02:07:18,920 --> 02:07:20,920
No, I'm, I'm, I'm being.

2263
02:07:20,920 --> 02:07:23,920
Totally no. Yeah. You're on the spot. I mean,

2264
02:07:23,920 --> 02:07:26,920
you guys are actually thinking that I'm just like not thinking and

2265
02:07:26,920 --> 02:07:29,920
just accepting like, Oh, this is something that I've always known.

2266
02:07:29,920 --> 02:07:31,920
So I don't want to, I don't mean to.

2267
02:07:31,920 --> 02:07:33,920
But that's okay. Like, that's okay.

2268
02:07:33,920 --> 02:07:35,920
Like you don't need to watch movies.

2269
02:07:35,920 --> 02:07:38,920
Yeah. All the time. Yeah.

2270
02:07:38,920 --> 02:07:43,920
Like if anything, I wish I was more into it and I wasn't overthinking

2271
02:07:43,920 --> 02:07:45,920
about all these things, but.

2272
02:07:45,920 --> 02:07:46,920
Right.

2273
02:07:46,920 --> 02:07:49,920
It's a fun movie, right? Yeah.

2274
02:07:49,920 --> 02:07:52,920
It's, and it's just a kids movie. So like, why am I overthinking?

2275
02:07:52,920 --> 02:07:54,920
And, but the first thing.

2276
02:07:54,920 --> 02:07:56,920
There's violence. Yeah. The violence.

2277
02:07:56,920 --> 02:07:58,920
Is intense. Yeah.

2278
02:07:58,920 --> 02:08:01,920
The violence was a lot and just like I said at the beginning,

2279
02:08:01,920 --> 02:08:04,920
like I could tell that there was just like product placement

2280
02:08:04,920 --> 02:08:07,920
and then trying to sell you on this kind of lifestyle.

2281
02:08:07,920 --> 02:08:10,920
And like, I know they were trying to show that to compare it with

2282
02:08:10,920 --> 02:08:13,920
like the people that don't have that stuff, but.

2283
02:08:13,920 --> 02:08:15,920
And then at the end.

2284
02:08:15,920 --> 02:08:17,920
To like.

2285
02:08:17,920 --> 02:08:20,920
I don't know. I feel like I'm getting too into it.

2286
02:08:20,920 --> 02:08:22,920
No, please. I don't want to.

2287
02:08:22,920 --> 02:08:28,920
I just, it was so silly that safe space for all movie takes.

2288
02:08:28,920 --> 02:08:29,920
Yeah.

2289
02:08:29,920 --> 02:08:31,920
It was silly that like at the end of the trip,

2290
02:08:31,920 --> 02:08:35,920
the kids all still got all these presents from Duncan's.

2291
02:08:35,920 --> 02:08:36,920
Like I get it.

2292
02:08:36,920 --> 02:08:40,920
It's a kid's movie. So like kids want presents,

2293
02:08:40,920 --> 02:08:44,920
but I think it could have been deeper if it's like, wow,

2294
02:08:44,920 --> 02:08:46,920
like at least the families together.

2295
02:08:46,920 --> 02:08:51,920
Like after all this, maybe we're the gift is us just all being together.

2296
02:08:51,920 --> 02:08:54,920
Not the fact that there were like all these presents on the tree,

2297
02:08:54,920 --> 02:08:57,920
but it's a kid's movie. So why am I.

2298
02:08:57,920 --> 02:09:00,920
Complaining about that, but.

2299
02:09:00,920 --> 02:09:03,920
You're not complaining. That's something we just did that.

2300
02:09:03,920 --> 02:09:07,920
They're just critiquing a movie for what it is.

2301
02:09:07,920 --> 02:09:09,920
They're just glorifying like.

2302
02:09:09,920 --> 02:09:11,920
Bye bye bye.

2303
02:09:11,920 --> 02:09:13,920
Gifts, gifts, gifts, like purchase, purchase,

2304
02:09:13,920 --> 02:09:16,920
person, consume, consume, consume. And that is the 90s.

2305
02:09:16,920 --> 02:09:17,920
Trump is in this movie.

2306
02:09:17,920 --> 02:09:20,920
And so I think that was just like my lens.

2307
02:09:20,920 --> 02:09:22,920
The whole movie was like.

2308
02:09:22,920 --> 02:09:24,920
I don't know, just.

2309
02:09:24,920 --> 02:09:27,920
And that was ingrained in us too. Like being 90s kids.

2310
02:09:27,920 --> 02:09:32,920
Like we were told that that was what we wanted to as kids was like.

2311
02:09:32,920 --> 02:09:35,920
Just toys and like all this stuff. I don't know.

2312
02:09:35,920 --> 02:09:37,920
Yeah. No, that's fair.

2313
02:09:37,920 --> 02:09:39,920
Do you want to go?

2314
02:09:39,920 --> 02:09:41,920
Sure. Yeah.

2315
02:09:41,920 --> 02:09:47,920
I, as you've probably gathered from this podcast and be telling my

2316
02:09:47,920 --> 02:09:51,920
history with this movie have like a hard time separating it from

2317
02:09:51,920 --> 02:09:56,920
like my inner being as a child and enjoying it a lot growing up.

2318
02:09:56,920 --> 02:09:58,920
And.

2319
02:09:58,920 --> 02:10:02,920
Like as far as Macaulay Culkin performances, I do think of this one a lot.

2320
02:10:02,920 --> 02:10:06,920
And all of those hijinks were fun and like a Rube Goldberg sort of

2321
02:10:06,920 --> 02:10:10,920
way for me of seeing him like figure things out, even something

2322
02:10:10,920 --> 02:10:14,920
that's just like as heinous as like setting up the fucking little

2323
02:10:14,920 --> 02:10:19,920
seesaw catapult thing where they jump out of the window in the

2324
02:10:19,920 --> 02:10:23,920
perfect spot for Marv to land in one spot and Harry to launch him

2325
02:10:23,920 --> 02:10:30,920
into the car in a joker in the dark night or or fucking sugar

2326
02:10:30,920 --> 02:10:34,920
and in Skyfall sort of situation.

2327
02:10:34,920 --> 02:10:37,920
That's essentially main main people.

2328
02:10:37,920 --> 02:10:38,920
Yeah.

2329
02:10:38,920 --> 02:10:40,920
The characters are the archetype very similar.

2330
02:10:40,920 --> 02:10:41,920
Yes.

2331
02:10:41,920 --> 02:10:44,920
There's Kevin, there's sugar, there's the Joker in the dark night

2332
02:10:44,920 --> 02:10:47,920
or all in the same same bubble.

2333
02:10:47,920 --> 02:10:51,920
It's interesting to come on the other side of it as an adult,

2334
02:10:51,920 --> 02:10:56,920
see all of that violence and just like not laugh with it, but kind

2335
02:10:56,920 --> 02:11:01,920
of laugh at it and how intense it is and how fucking brutal it is.

2336
02:11:01,920 --> 02:11:04,920
Because yeah, and as Carter and I were watching it, I was just like

2337
02:11:04,920 --> 02:11:08,920
looking at like laughing really hard and heard being horrified.

2338
02:11:08,920 --> 02:11:12,920
I mean, like I think he might be crazy too, but just like.

2339
02:11:12,920 --> 02:11:15,920
But I mean.

2340
02:11:15,920 --> 02:11:18,920
Yeah, we're all crazy.

2341
02:11:18,920 --> 02:11:24,920
But I do at least I do want to recognize that I understand how

2342
02:11:24,920 --> 02:11:29,920
fucking crazy it is and I choose to laugh at it.

2343
02:11:29,920 --> 02:11:33,920
It's not that I'm like, I get like, oh, I'm in on that.

2344
02:11:33,920 --> 02:11:36,920
I don't recognize that it's not dark and crazy.

2345
02:11:36,920 --> 02:11:40,920
Yeah, you're just like, isn't it crazy that this is a kid's movie?

2346
02:11:40,920 --> 02:11:41,920
Right.

2347
02:11:41,920 --> 02:11:42,920
It's crazy.

2348
02:11:42,920 --> 02:11:43,920
This is happening right now.

2349
02:11:43,920 --> 02:11:44,920
Right.

2350
02:11:44,920 --> 02:11:45,920
No.

2351
02:11:45,920 --> 02:11:48,920
He's getting electrocuted.

2352
02:11:48,920 --> 02:11:50,920
He's a skeleton.

2353
02:11:50,920 --> 02:11:55,920
Just like the consecutive bricks and in Harry's physical reaction

2354
02:11:55,920 --> 02:12:00,920
and his his like screams like are so high pitched and funny to me

2355
02:12:00,920 --> 02:12:03,920
and like just falling through the hole in the floor looking up like,

2356
02:12:03,920 --> 02:12:05,920
oh, what a hole.

2357
02:12:05,920 --> 02:12:06,920
What a hole.

2358
02:12:06,920 --> 02:12:07,920
Yeah.

2359
02:12:07,920 --> 02:12:12,920
It's like, you know, Dick Van Dyke to a whole another degree, but

2360
02:12:12,920 --> 02:12:19,920
getting electrocuted to a to a skull, you know, but a lot of that stuff

2361
02:12:19,920 --> 02:12:20,920
is expected.

2362
02:12:20,920 --> 02:12:23,920
It's not as much of a shock to me and I'm sure that goes a long way.

2363
02:12:23,920 --> 02:12:28,920
This movie as I've compared it to the first one, I would say like it's fun

2364
02:12:28,920 --> 02:12:33,920
to see him get out of the house and go and do stuff in New York City.

2365
02:12:33,920 --> 02:12:37,920
I feel like they use a fair amount of New York City in an interesting way.

2366
02:12:37,920 --> 02:12:39,920
There's a montage.

2367
02:12:39,920 --> 02:12:43,920
They get him actually on locations and there's even movies made now that it's

2368
02:12:43,920 --> 02:12:45,920
just like you say it's in New York.

2369
02:12:45,920 --> 02:12:49,920
It's not there's not enough of New York to to really show that off.

2370
02:12:49,920 --> 02:12:54,920
And I feel like they do that in a pretty satisfying way of him like being in the

2371
02:12:54,920 --> 02:12:57,920
in the city and not just in in one location.

2372
02:12:57,920 --> 02:13:03,920
They have the the part where they almost are obliged to get into the

2373
02:13:03,920 --> 02:13:06,920
home alone of it all and everything.

2374
02:13:06,920 --> 02:13:12,920
But apart from that, it's got a little bit more going for it than the first one

2375
02:13:12,920 --> 02:13:14,920
in terms of location and all that stuff.

2376
02:13:14,920 --> 02:13:17,920
But I understand that the first one is a better movie.

2377
02:13:17,920 --> 02:13:19,920
Like that's something that I've come around on.

2378
02:13:19,920 --> 02:13:24,920
And as with that and like Lost World Jurassic Park, like as a kid, I'm just like,

2379
02:13:24,920 --> 02:13:25,920
oh, it's just like more.

2380
02:13:25,920 --> 02:13:27,920
There's there's two dinosaurs in Lost World.

2381
02:13:27,920 --> 02:13:29,920
Like obviously it's fucking better.

2382
02:13:29,920 --> 02:13:30,920
There's two of them.

2383
02:13:30,920 --> 02:13:32,920
There's more means better.

2384
02:13:32,920 --> 02:13:34,920
And it goes to San Diego.

2385
02:13:34,920 --> 02:13:40,920
And but understanding a little bit of the the nuance, I understand that the

2386
02:13:40,920 --> 02:13:44,920
first one is an excellent film that is more subtle.

2387
02:13:44,920 --> 02:13:47,920
And this one just plays up a lot of the things that were successful about the

2388
02:13:47,920 --> 02:13:48,920
first one.

2389
02:13:48,920 --> 02:13:55,920
And I would argue in in a successful way and an overall good movie and a

2390
02:13:55,920 --> 02:13:57,920
fun holiday movie.

2391
02:13:57,920 --> 02:14:02,920
And I would still put it like on par in terms of like, oh, should we watch the

2392
02:14:02,920 --> 02:14:04,920
first or second one?

2393
02:14:04,920 --> 02:14:07,920
I would if you've never seen them out, say first one, but if you've seen both,

2394
02:14:07,920 --> 02:14:13,920
like I could kind of interchange them and I would I would yeah, I would go 82.

2395
02:14:13,920 --> 02:14:18,920
Wow, this is a this is one that I will rewatch in the future.

2396
02:14:18,920 --> 02:14:21,920
And I feel like that goes a long way and have and I have a history with it,

2397
02:14:21,920 --> 02:14:25,920
which I know that is something that is tricky when it comes to art and

2398
02:14:25,920 --> 02:14:29,920
criticizing our and that's why this podcast exists is for us to criticize

2399
02:14:29,920 --> 02:14:33,920
stuff, but we do come across these ones that just have a special place and this

2400
02:14:33,920 --> 02:14:38,920
one does for me and yeah, almost reminds me of like when we watch like spy

2401
02:14:38,920 --> 02:14:42,920
kids or something to is a hard hard time for me to like pull myself out of

2402
02:14:42,920 --> 02:14:47,920
how much spy kids was like a fun, fun inspiring time as to watch as a kid

2403
02:14:47,920 --> 02:14:49,920
independence as a child.

2404
02:14:49,920 --> 02:14:51,920
And I don't know there's something about that in this movie too.

2405
02:14:51,920 --> 02:14:55,920
It's like, oh, yeah, watch him be independent and I am self.

2406
02:14:55,920 --> 02:14:58,920
Yeah, something that's that's kind of blank check and rich you rich maybe

2407
02:14:58,920 --> 02:15:03,920
too, but yeah, I mean his performance to like is incredible.

2408
02:15:03,920 --> 02:15:07,920
Like I he's he's good at what such a capable.

2409
02:15:07,920 --> 02:15:09,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2410
02:15:09,920 --> 02:15:11,920
Absolutely.

2411
02:15:11,920 --> 02:15:13,920
Yeah, don't doubt it for a second.

2412
02:15:13,920 --> 02:15:15,920
That's going places that Macaulay.

2413
02:15:15,920 --> 02:15:16,920
Macaulay.

2414
02:15:16,920 --> 02:15:19,920
I wonder what he'll do next.

2415
02:15:19,920 --> 02:15:26,920
I'm alone too.

2416
02:15:26,920 --> 02:15:31,920
This is a movie that I would show a kid who is like 11 years old because I

2417
02:15:31,920 --> 02:15:38,920
think the like brutality of it is going to be exciting for an older kid.

2418
02:15:38,920 --> 02:15:46,920
But when I think about what I want to see in a Christmas movie, this.

2419
02:15:46,920 --> 02:15:47,920
Isn't it?

2420
02:15:47,920 --> 02:15:48,920
It's.

2421
02:15:48,920 --> 02:15:51,920
Um.

2422
02:15:51,920 --> 02:15:56,920
It is too much about capitalism and I don't want that to be the narrative

2423
02:15:56,920 --> 02:15:57,920
of Christmas.

2424
02:15:57,920 --> 02:16:01,920
I wanted I love the parts of this movie that are about Christmas is with

2425
02:16:01,920 --> 02:16:05,920
being with your family.

2426
02:16:05,920 --> 02:16:10,920
But again, I can recognize that a kid who's like 11 to 13 is going to

2427
02:16:10,920 --> 02:16:15,920
fucking love the fact that this guy is paying for stuff being on his own

2428
02:16:15,920 --> 02:16:17,920
doing all of this fun stuff.

2429
02:16:17,920 --> 02:16:21,920
And there's a place for that in film and in holiday movies.

2430
02:16:21,920 --> 02:16:26,920
And so I recognize so much of this movie needing to exist.

2431
02:16:26,920 --> 02:16:29,920
And I do have a reverence for this movie.

2432
02:16:29,920 --> 02:16:34,920
Just as an adult, it's a little tough because there are better Christmas

2433
02:16:34,920 --> 02:16:37,920
movies, but that just comes with time.

2434
02:16:37,920 --> 02:16:44,920
And I think just like with a lot of populist stuff is it's made for

2435
02:16:44,920 --> 02:16:50,920
something like it's made to be enjoyed by a lot of people in times

2436
02:16:50,920 --> 02:16:51,920
like Christmas.

2437
02:16:51,920 --> 02:16:54,920
And I, yeah, I don't know.

2438
02:16:54,920 --> 02:17:00,920
I want to knock this movie as an adult, but I want to give it credit as if I

2439
02:17:00,920 --> 02:17:03,920
were the target demographic as James had brought up earlier.

2440
02:17:03,920 --> 02:17:06,920
You know, like the mind of an 11 year old boy.

2441
02:17:06,920 --> 02:17:08,920
It's perfect.

2442
02:17:08,920 --> 02:17:11,920
If I were to put myself in the target demo, this movie rips.

2443
02:17:11,920 --> 02:17:13,920
This is so fun.

2444
02:17:13,920 --> 02:17:17,920
You know, he's getting one over on a bunch of adults.

2445
02:17:17,920 --> 02:17:18,920
He has money.

2446
02:17:18,920 --> 02:17:20,920
He goes on an adventure.

2447
02:17:20,920 --> 02:17:24,920
It's yeah.

2448
02:17:24,920 --> 02:17:29,920
I guess again, what I'm trying to reconcile is like if I so I just a

2449
02:17:29,920 --> 02:17:33,920
lot of the times recently in the holidays, I just picture like if I

2450
02:17:33,920 --> 02:17:37,920
were to show this to my kid or to somebody who is the target demo

2451
02:17:37,920 --> 02:17:42,920
that should get exposed to Christmas movies and like develop this

2452
02:17:42,920 --> 02:17:45,920
nostalgia and develop these traditions.

2453
02:17:45,920 --> 02:17:50,920
Like, is this the movie I'm going to whip out to be like, you got to check

2454
02:17:50,920 --> 02:17:53,920
this out, you know, this is what Christmas means to me.

2455
02:17:53,920 --> 02:17:58,920
Or like this is what, you know, this is a good Christmas movie.

2456
02:17:58,920 --> 02:18:05,920
And I'm having a hard time thinking this is the one to do it.

2457
02:18:05,920 --> 02:18:10,920
And so.

2458
02:18:10,920 --> 02:18:14,920
I think where I'm going to stand is.

2459
02:18:14,920 --> 02:18:16,920
I like this movie a lot.

2460
02:18:16,920 --> 02:18:20,920
There's a lot of things that I have an issue with as an adult about it.

2461
02:18:20,920 --> 02:18:23,920
And then there are things that I can recognize for what its target

2462
02:18:23,920 --> 02:18:25,920
demo would enjoy and it doing that.

2463
02:18:25,920 --> 02:18:30,920
Well, I'm going to give this a 78% from Brandon.

2464
02:18:30,920 --> 02:18:31,920
Nice, Brandini.

2465
02:18:31,920 --> 02:18:33,920
That's pretty good out there.

2466
02:18:33,920 --> 02:18:34,920
I'm going to go 78.

2467
02:18:34,920 --> 02:18:35,920
Wow.

2468
02:18:35,920 --> 02:18:36,920
That's good.

2469
02:18:36,920 --> 02:18:37,920
Oh yeah.

2470
02:18:37,920 --> 02:18:42,920
Yeah, I think we're all like, yeah, pretty, pretty close together.

2471
02:18:42,920 --> 02:18:45,920
I.

2472
02:18:45,920 --> 02:18:50,920
Am I, I'm just happy that we got to fit in a holiday movie this, this holiday season

2473
02:18:50,920 --> 02:18:57,920
and we got to, I don't know, I feel like I've done a few this season where I,

2474
02:18:57,920 --> 02:19:01,920
it's not usually a thing to do the like, try new movies.

2475
02:19:01,920 --> 02:19:04,920
Like Carl was saying at the beginning is trying new Christmas movie.

2476
02:19:04,920 --> 02:19:10,920
I feel like this year I have and whether it be a princess switch or like maybe

2477
02:19:10,920 --> 02:19:17,920
throw on some other like, I don't know, I did violent night the other day and you did.

2478
02:19:17,920 --> 02:19:20,920
If you, it's cool, right?

2479
02:19:20,920 --> 02:19:23,920
If you find what is your percentage on that real quick?

2480
02:19:23,920 --> 02:19:25,920
Oh, that was good.

2481
02:19:25,920 --> 02:19:28,920
I'd say like a 74 or something.

2482
02:19:28,920 --> 02:19:29,920
Cool.

2483
02:19:29,920 --> 02:19:30,920
Hell yeah.

2484
02:19:30,920 --> 02:19:31,920
Maybe even higher.

2485
02:19:31,920 --> 02:19:32,920
I don't know.

2486
02:19:32,920 --> 02:19:38,920
But it was, it exceeded my expectations and there's a moment in that movie that does a real

2487
02:19:38,920 --> 02:19:44,920
parody of Home Alone and concerning all the stuff that we've talked about tonight about

2488
02:19:44,920 --> 02:19:49,920
Home Alone 2 being extremely violent, but almost like tone deaf to that violence.

2489
02:19:49,920 --> 02:19:53,920
I feel like as part of your guys is like kind of issue with the two.

2490
02:19:53,920 --> 02:19:58,920
What violent night does is it like ramps up the violence.

2491
02:19:58,920 --> 02:20:04,920
There's like, there's a kid that's like setting up little booby traps for these two, these

2492
02:20:04,920 --> 02:20:10,920
two bad people and they fall into them, but they like it really messed up.

2493
02:20:10,920 --> 02:20:12,920
Like it's really a violent night.

2494
02:20:12,920 --> 02:20:17,920
And the whole time there's like fun music playing and everything too, but like the joke of it

2495
02:20:17,920 --> 02:20:20,920
is that it's like, can you believe how like, it's a good movie.

2496
02:20:20,920 --> 02:20:25,920
Yeah, not to spoil too much, but it was fun to see that even in a movie that came out this

2497
02:20:25,920 --> 02:20:32,920
year or last that like that Home Alone joke of like, wow, this kid is inflicting serious

2498
02:20:32,920 --> 02:20:37,920
pain on these people is not lost on it being like a parody and it being a funny moment,

2499
02:20:37,920 --> 02:20:39,920
even as crazy violent as it was.

2500
02:20:39,920 --> 02:20:42,920
And it worked for me because I like this movie too.

2501
02:20:42,920 --> 02:20:44,920
What's your rating on violent night?

2502
02:20:44,920 --> 02:20:47,920
I would give it a solid 73 as well.

2503
02:20:47,920 --> 02:20:48,920
Oh yeah.

2504
02:20:48,920 --> 02:20:50,920
Yeah, we're close to that one too.

2505
02:20:50,920 --> 02:20:52,920
I mean, performance wise too.

2506
02:20:52,920 --> 02:20:54,920
Great.

2507
02:20:54,920 --> 02:21:02,920
And it gives all the like go ahead to be as violent.

2508
02:21:02,920 --> 02:21:06,920
It's called violent night, you know, like it kind of gives you the blank check to be like,

2509
02:21:06,920 --> 02:21:12,920
here is the Home Alone sequence, but it's going to be very realistic and violent and

2510
02:21:12,920 --> 02:21:17,920
you're on board with it because it sets up well the situation and the characters.

2511
02:21:17,920 --> 02:21:19,920
And I think the movie is actually very good.

2512
02:21:19,920 --> 02:21:23,920
Like it's definitely like in the, yeah, like I said, 72.

2513
02:21:23,920 --> 02:21:25,920
I mean, I want to move that up to 75.

2514
02:21:25,920 --> 02:21:27,920
Like I think it's a little bit.

2515
02:21:27,920 --> 02:21:28,920
Yeah.

2516
02:21:28,920 --> 02:21:31,920
Like that's where I sit with it is that it is a good movie.

2517
02:21:31,920 --> 02:21:37,920
If you're looking for a movie that is similar to like anybody being like, oh, Die Hard is

2518
02:21:37,920 --> 02:21:40,920
a Christmas movie and that person.

2519
02:21:40,920 --> 02:21:44,920
Violent night is a great like this movie is like in the end.

2520
02:21:44,920 --> 02:21:51,920
Die Hard except Santa Claus is John McClain or whatever his name is, which is cool because

2521
02:21:51,920 --> 02:21:55,920
they set it up well where he's like kind of a Norse God.

2522
02:21:55,920 --> 02:21:56,920
Oh yeah.

2523
02:21:56,920 --> 02:21:58,920
And that's, we did Fat Man.

2524
02:21:58,920 --> 02:22:03,920
Like I'm glad we're at least such an listenable wrap up here soon, but we talked about Fat

2525
02:22:03,920 --> 02:22:07,920
Man on this podcast and I did not like that movie.

2526
02:22:07,920 --> 02:22:08,920
Sure.

2527
02:22:08,920 --> 02:22:11,920
And this was a movie where like Santa was a real dude.

2528
02:22:11,920 --> 02:22:14,920
He's like, he's like, he's like a dude.

2529
02:22:14,920 --> 02:22:15,920
He's just a dude.

2530
02:22:15,920 --> 02:22:20,920
Very similar to cause like Santa in the beginning of the movie is like drinking a lot and

2531
02:22:20,920 --> 02:22:21,920
whatnot.

2532
02:22:21,920 --> 02:22:26,920
So it's, yeah, it's a better version of Fat Man for sure.

2533
02:22:26,920 --> 02:22:28,920
Yeah, that's what I would say.

2534
02:22:28,920 --> 02:22:33,920
Not to do a pick, like take one down just to bring one up, but it just reminded me of

2535
02:22:33,920 --> 02:22:36,920
that one and a better take on that.

2536
02:22:36,920 --> 02:22:37,920
Thank you both.

2537
02:22:37,920 --> 02:22:42,920
Thank you all for taking part in this shared experience that we're having right now on

2538

Kara, I want to thank you in particular for taking time out of your day to talk about

2541
02:22:58,920 --> 02:23:01,920
a McCulloch-Holken feature.

2542
02:23:01,920 --> 02:23:06,920
Is there anything else you would like to share before we say our good tidings?

2543
02:23:06,920 --> 02:23:08,920
Good night.

2544
02:23:08,920 --> 02:23:12,920
I think that's pretty much it.

2545
02:23:12,920 --> 02:23:18,920
Well, thank you again. You look excellent under the Christmas tree right now.

2546
02:23:18,920 --> 02:23:20,920
I know that's another visual element of this episode.

2547
02:23:20,920 --> 02:23:21,920
A real gift.

2548
02:23:21,920 --> 02:23:22,920
A real, yeah.

2549
02:23:22,920 --> 02:23:27,920
And the trigger is yourself.

2550
02:23:27,920 --> 02:23:30,920
Oh, no, deep.

2551
02:23:30,920 --> 02:23:39,920
Well, Brandy, is there anything else you'd like to share before I wrap us up here?

2552
02:23:39,920 --> 02:23:41,920
Merry Christmas.

And for next time, we will be doing a New Year's Eve themed movie, which will be the

2556
02:23:59,920 --> 02:24:08,920
original 1960 Ocean's Eleven starting starring the Rat Pack themselves, Frankie, Dino, Sammy

It has a 40, 48% from critics and 81% from audience.

2560
02:24:25,920 --> 02:24:29,920
It will be our oldest movie that we've ever done.

2561
02:24:29,920 --> 02:24:35,920
You know, Ron Tomatoes wasn't really super popular in 1960, but for whatever reason,

2562
02:24:35,920 --> 02:24:40,920
they've tabulated it all out there and we have the listen-umbies and we will be talking

2563
02:24:40,920 --> 02:24:49,920
