[00:00:24] And now on with the show.

[00:01:51] Yeah.

[00:01:51] Brad, how are you?

[00:01:53] Uh, just rebuilding our website is making me lose my mind.

[00:01:57] Well, I think you're doing a great job.

[00:01:59] And if encouragement is worth money, then I just gave you a million dollars.

[00:02:05] Oh, I'm so rich in encouragement right now.

[00:02:06] Yeah, because that's all I can give you.

[00:02:09] I can't wait to pay my bills in encouragement.

[00:02:11] I could give you like, we're in a, you know, an RPG and I'm just giving you charisma

[00:02:16] and encouragement.

[00:02:17] Yeah.

[00:02:18] You're hanging back in the back of a line of fighters and I'm in the front

[00:02:22] just getting like pounded with encouragement and slaughtered immediately.

[00:02:28] Yes.

[00:02:29] That's all we got is, that's all I got to offer.

[00:02:33] And my love and adoration.

[00:02:38] Um, but yeah, like the new website, like I'm excited about how like you can

[00:02:43] go to a page and immediately play like all the, um, all the episodes, like an entire

[00:02:50] season that you can just like not like click and click and click to get something.

[00:02:53] It's just like immediately there.

[00:02:55] Um, but I'm worried that that kind of architecture when we try to like, Hey, here's the new

[00:03:00] episode when we posted on Facebook or X or whatever, it won't post like that.

[00:03:07] Yeah.

[00:03:08] That makes sense.

[00:03:09] Like I tried to post the film explosion.

[00:03:11] Like it didn't show like the thumbnail.

[00:03:13] It just like, Hey, here's the link and the text I wrote saying that's here and like,

[00:03:18] you know, visually there was like nothing there.

[00:03:22] So yeah, any, you know, it's been doing that on X lately.

[00:03:25] I know you're off X, but I still put our stuff out on there, um, which I'm a big

[00:03:30] fan of putting a picture accompanying what we're doing because just an X.

[00:03:36] I don't know what do you call them a tweet?

[00:03:38] They're not tweezing where they're at.

[00:03:40] Um, a fart.

[00:03:41] I don't know.

[00:03:42] Yeah.

[00:03:42] It's really boring when it's just, uh, you know, words.

[00:03:46] So I always try to add something to it.

[00:03:49] Um, but yeah, film explosion, it wouldn't do the capture of the poster you made.

[00:03:55] Yeah.

[00:03:55] So that's like great.

[00:03:57] I don't know how to fix that and it's going to make our postings terrible from now on.

[00:04:01] So well, if you can't do it, then I'll take a screen or I'll download the picture

[00:04:06] from Facebook and I'll post it with a picture on X.

[00:04:09] I'll figure it out.

[00:04:10] Well, it does it on threads though.

[00:04:11] When I put it on threads, it put it on there.

[00:04:14] Yeah.

[00:04:15] I don't know everything.

[00:04:16] So like all these different developers and their codes and like the only reason

[00:04:20] they were in this mess is because the people who make element or the,

[00:04:23] the architecture of our site decided, Hey, your little episode plugin is not

[00:04:28] going to go behind a paywall.

[00:04:30] So have fun posting only articles or paying us like $300 a year to use it.

[00:04:36] Holy shanay.

[00:04:37] Thank you.

[00:04:37] The uh, but uh, on top of all that though, I mean, obviously you're

[00:04:42] listening to this, but you can still find us in all the podcast platforms

[00:04:46] that we're on.

[00:04:48] Um, while the site is being redesigned and relaunched, um, which you

[00:04:54] can still see our articles on there right now.

[00:04:56] And, um, yeah, there's lots of fun stuff still on there.

[00:05:01] Um, just be patient with that because it's a team of Brad fixing it.

[00:05:05] So, um, it's, it's happening.

[00:05:08] It's just, you know, it's just you though.

[00:05:11] Yeah.

[00:05:13] That's what we, you know, and you do a great job.

[00:05:16] So I appreciate it.

[00:05:19] I feel bad for all the interview people that, you know, we've been

[00:05:22] waiting to get up and now like, yeah, I have to spend time doing that

[00:05:26] this instead of like, yeah, just getting their interviews up.

[00:05:29] So I know I did interviews with Brian's 13th alum and where the

[00:05:33] fuck are those?

[00:05:34] Yeah.

[00:05:35] I know.

[00:05:36] I know they're freaking, and you know, uh, how Matthew told me,

[00:05:40] he said, you know what, Ryan, I'm going to be your best friend.

[00:05:42] As long as this interview is up in one week, I said, don't

[00:05:45] worry about it, sir.

[00:05:46] It'll be up before you know it.

[00:05:48] And then he sent me a text message to tell me go fuck

[00:05:50] myself.

[00:05:51] So thanks for ruining my friendship with Tommy Jarvis.

[00:05:55] Um, yeah, it's doubly bad because you were going to be in the

[00:06:00] next Friday 13th movie.

[00:06:01] Thanks to that interview, but now it's not going to happen.

[00:06:03] Now I'm just totally fucked.

[00:06:06] But you know, life goes on.

[00:06:08] Yeah.

[00:06:09] This is your fault for being too cheap.

[00:06:10] Just hire a web guy, Ryan.

[00:06:12] Yeah.

[00:06:13] Oh, you're right.

[00:06:14] Fuck.

[00:06:15] Think about that part.

[00:06:16] You could have been paying like $120 an hour to just get

[00:06:20] this done.

[00:06:21] Fuck.

[00:06:27] Anyway, yeah.

[00:06:28] If you didn't know this is our hobby.

[00:06:31] So we don't have any money because we were working stiff.

[00:06:36] So that's the back you're going to get.

[00:06:38] Is it looking really nice?

[00:06:40] We are open to paid sponsorships, but we get to say

[00:06:42] whatever we want, including disparaging your product.

[00:06:46] Exactly.

[00:06:46] Especially if it's a movie.

[00:06:51] Speaking of movies, this week, we saw the South

[00:06:54] of the West.

[00:06:55] Brad, do you recommend the substance?

[00:06:58] Yeah, I think it's a we're seeing is definitely different.

[00:07:02] I kind of lost a little interest in the middle, but

[00:07:06] it has a wild ending that kind of brought me back.

[00:07:08] So yeah, I think it's we're seeing.

[00:07:11] Yeah.

[00:07:11] I really liked this movie.

[00:07:14] I thought it was really cool and at the end, all I could

[00:07:20] think of is like, oh, this is the kind of movie that Brad

[00:07:22] likes.

[00:07:23] Really?

[00:07:24] It was so fucking insane.

[00:07:28] And how it just took a huge left turn.

[00:07:32] I'm in.

[00:07:33] I wonder if Brad is going to like this movie because it

[00:07:36] seems like a movie that you would like just because

[00:07:39] the ending is so off the rails, you know, because

[00:07:43] you like those kind of not narratively structured

[00:07:50] movies that are the same.

[00:07:53] Unconventional.

[00:07:54] Yeah, conventional structure of film.

[00:07:57] Yeah.

[00:07:58] So yeah, so you should totally see it.

[00:08:01] It's one of my favorite movies of the year.

[00:08:03] Here's the trailer for the substance.

[00:08:11] People always ask for something new.

[00:08:14] It's inevitable.

[00:08:16] At 50.

[00:08:19] Well, it stops.

[00:09:15] You're hired.

[00:09:17] Let's go.

[00:09:22] A perfect balance of seven days each.

[00:09:25] The one and only thing not to forget.

[00:09:29] You are one.

[00:09:32] You can't escape from yourself.

[00:09:37] There's been a slight misuse of the substance.

[00:09:42] I like to stop.

[00:09:57] You like to stop.

[00:10:00] I'm fine.

[00:10:03] Everything's fine.

[00:10:04] The substance stirs to me more and she plays

[00:10:32] a woman who was a huge star in the 80s.

[00:10:37] And as time has gone on, just like Hollywood,

[00:10:42] you know, she starts to get old and

[00:10:46] she's looking to find a way to stay young.

[00:10:50] And her name is Elizabeth Sparkle.

[00:10:54] And the movie opens with her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

[00:11:00] She's a really big deal.

[00:11:01] And then flash forwards, I guess 40 some years

[00:11:05] where she's making some sort of

[00:11:10] game-fond of workout video show.

[00:11:13] Tell them.

[00:11:14] It has a name on the billboard.

[00:11:18] It's like, yeah, like exercise show or something.

[00:11:20] Like very bland and generic just because it's not important.

[00:11:23] Yeah, it's funny because this is why I do think you would like this movie

[00:11:27] because it seems like it exists in a different world

[00:11:29] or a hyper-reality world.

[00:11:34] You seem to be gravate.

[00:11:36] You gravitate towards Sue as a film consumer.

[00:11:43] And so she gets this in this car accident

[00:11:47] on her way to home one day when she finds out

[00:11:51] she's getting let go from the show by Dennis Quaid,

[00:11:57] who plays a TV exec, but it's really, he's like really over the top.

[00:12:05] And basically says she's too old and so she's all, you know,

[00:12:09] browsled for that because she realizes maybe her star is fading.

[00:12:12] She gets in a car accident while she's at the doctor's office.

[00:12:15] The nurse, he slides her a thing, saying, call this.

[00:12:19] It can change your life.

[00:12:20] She does.

[00:12:22] And it's a stuff called the substance that you inject in yourself

[00:12:25] and it basically makes a young version that spawns out of you.

[00:12:31] And it can only be out for seven days

[00:12:34] and you have to come back for seven days.

[00:12:37] And the reason is basically has to,

[00:12:40] you have to regenerate your vinyl fluid or something.

[00:12:46] And of course, when she becomes the young, hot version of herself,

[00:12:53] she gets her old job back in a way.

[00:12:57] Her name Sue played wonderfully by Margaret Quaid.

[00:13:02] I mean, I think she was great in the film.

[00:13:06] Yeah.

[00:13:07] And then of course the young hot self is still to me more as a character,

[00:13:15] but not really.

[00:13:18] And she doesn't want to come back.

[00:13:20] She wants to keep the young body.

[00:13:21] And when she does this, it kind of spirals out of control from there.

[00:13:25] Yeah.

[00:13:26] The instructions say like, there aren't two of you.

[00:13:28] There's always just you.

[00:13:30] So don't.

[00:13:31] Yeah.

[00:13:32] What's the saying that they have?

[00:13:33] It's you are one or something.

[00:13:35] Fuck.

[00:13:36] Something like that.

[00:13:37] Yeah.

[00:13:38] But it's very important because yeah, as she, you know,

[00:13:42] starts to enjoy her new life as a young person,

[00:13:44] she doesn't follow the rules and it devolves into chaos.

[00:13:50] It does.

[00:13:52] Because I mean, it's a body horror film.

[00:13:55] And I looked up dude, I didn't know Demi Moore,

[00:13:57] which she's like in her 60s.

[00:13:59] I mean, it makes sense when you, you know,

[00:14:02] remove yourself and realize she's been making movies since the early 80s.

[00:14:05] But I thought she looked really good and they did a really cool

[00:14:13] devolution or devolved version of her as she stayed longer and longer

[00:14:18] as her younger self.

[00:14:21] Because it's basically sucking the life out of her.

[00:14:23] And when she comes back and it's that, you know,

[00:14:27] a hunchback old woman is pretty fun.

[00:14:34] But then it takes like a really hardcore turn where they decide the young

[00:14:43] version of Elizabeth Sparkle decides to make another thing out of the substance

[00:14:50] and it becomes this hideous monster thing.

[00:14:54] Yeah, like I told you that the movie was over when she started fighting herself.

[00:14:57] Yeah, me too.

[00:14:58] I was like, oh, okay.

[00:15:00] This is where this is going.

[00:15:01] But then yeah, she creates, yeah, she really goes and like does her own

[00:15:07] science and creates like that horrible,

[00:15:11] misinformed version of herself combined with herself.

[00:15:16] Which is so weird because people are like, oh, there you are.

[00:15:18] Like they didn't notice her like backstage or anything just because

[00:15:21] you have to dress on.

[00:15:22] Yep.

[00:15:24] That's how oblivious those people are.

[00:15:25] Yeah.

[00:15:27] And then, you know, the blood's like spraying everywhere and it's just

[00:15:31] out of control.

[00:15:33] It's almost, you have to see this movie to appreciate what's going on in it.

[00:15:41] Because of, you know, the dying star and Demi Moore is really great in it

[00:15:47] and everything is so hybrid.

[00:15:51] Even they go the extra length to make Dennis Quaid's Harvey

[00:15:55] really gross, you know, when he's eating the shrimp and stuff.

[00:15:58] And, you know, it just thinks so hyper aware of what it is.

[00:16:04] But you're right.

[00:16:04] It's, you know, the fitness show is like fitness with Sue or something.

[00:16:10] And then I was thought they never asked for her social security

[00:16:13] number or anything.

[00:16:15] And she's just randomly there.

[00:16:18] And I'm like, okay, we're good with it.

[00:16:22] Yep.

[00:16:24] They, you know, they're creeps and they just want young women to like help

[00:16:29] them make money.

[00:16:31] Yeah.

[00:16:32] And that's, I mean, it's also like, you know, obviously a take on

[00:16:36] Hollywood and how they value looks and young stars over older

[00:16:42] stars and all they're looking for is, you know, someone with a hot body

[00:16:47] or something.

[00:16:48] And it's a really interesting thing where, you know, Demi Morse character

[00:16:54] where you expect her to learn her lesson.

[00:16:56] She just keeps on doubling down because she wants that life again.

[00:17:01] It's a really interesting take on the character because you think

[00:17:04] you would learn your lesson, you know, when her one finger

[00:17:09] starts kind of gets that necropsy and starts dying.

[00:17:12] Yep.

[00:17:13] But she doesn't.

[00:17:14] She instead doubles down.

[00:17:15] And even after she's like super hideous, she decides she's nothing

[00:17:20] more important than her hosting like Dick Clark's New Year's

[00:17:23] Eve or whatever the version of it is in this movie.

[00:17:30] Yeah.

[00:17:31] So if you like body horror like this movie is perfect.

[00:17:34] Yeah, it's gory and it's cool.

[00:17:36] I like his other movie or her other movie.

[00:17:39] I'm sorry, revenge.

[00:17:41] I thought that's a person.

[00:17:43] Okay.

[00:17:43] Wow.

[00:17:43] Yeah.

[00:17:44] That was a while ago.

[00:17:45] Yeah.

[00:17:51] It's a core live.

[00:17:53] I don't want to mispronounce her last name.

[00:17:55] It's definitely French.

[00:17:56] I think Farjeet.

[00:17:58] Farjeet.

[00:18:00] But yeah, she made revenge as well.

[00:18:02] And that's a cool movie and the substance is a cool movie.

[00:18:08] But a lot different from revenge.

[00:18:10] We should have more of a straight.

[00:18:13] It's not really home invasion.

[00:18:14] It's more of revenge.

[00:18:17] Yeah.

[00:18:17] Yeah.

[00:18:18] Revenge thriller.

[00:18:19] Sort of action revenge thriller.

[00:18:21] Yeah.

[00:18:22] Yeah, this is like body horror for sure.

[00:18:26] Yeah.

[00:18:27] Part at the end where the monster just starts exploding.

[00:18:32] It's out of control then to me more space is all that's left.

[00:18:36] It goes to her Hollywood star and then she just gets absorbed in it

[00:18:40] and then she gets cleaned up like the street cleaner.

[00:18:43] And that's the end of the movie.

[00:18:44] That's great how they did the book ends of like the movie starts with her star

[00:18:49] and then yeah, ends with her star.

[00:18:51] Yeah, it's just a really cool movie.

[00:18:53] I says one of my favorite of the year just because it was so bizarre

[00:18:56] but I had a really fun time watching it.

[00:19:00] If it wasn't for that ending, like I probably would have been like,

[00:19:02] oh, okay, I got it.

[00:19:03] But yeah, they went for it in that fourth act, I guess.

[00:19:07] Yeah, because it is a long movie too.

[00:19:09] Maybe that's my one critique of it is it seems it's a little too long

[00:19:16] but it works and it's fun.

[00:19:19] And I had, like I said, I had a lot of fun watching it.

[00:19:23] Cool.

[00:19:26] Yeah.

[00:19:28] Movie news is slow again this week.

[00:19:30] I don't know what's going on lately

[00:19:33] but it doesn't seem like a lot of big things are happening.

[00:19:40] So we can skip it.

[00:19:41] Yeah, no, it's about to.

[00:19:43] So let's dive into what we've been watching

[00:19:46] in a segment I call what we've been watching.

[00:19:51] So yeah, this is the stuff we've been watching.

[00:19:55] Brad, what you watch this week?

[00:19:56] That's a pretty good name for it.

[00:19:58] I don't even know how I come up with this shit.

[00:20:03] I don't remember the last thing I said on the episode

[00:20:07] or what I said in the last episode was the last thing I watched

[00:20:10] so I'm going to guess I haven't talked about whiplash yet.

[00:20:14] No, you have not.

[00:20:17] Yeah, so I watched whiplash like three times in theaters this week

[00:20:22] because there wasn't a lot going on at 1030 plus

[00:20:27] except for that movie which is being re-released

[00:20:31] for its 10th anniversary.

[00:20:33] Wow, I can't believe it's 10 years old.

[00:20:35] And I only watched it once in the theater when it came out.

[00:20:40] That's a great movie.

[00:20:41] Yeah, I forgot how good it is.

[00:20:44] It's pretty standard up until the final scene which is just amazing

[00:20:49] and it reminds me of Amadeus where

[00:20:56] genius collides at the end

[00:20:57] and people who are at odds with each other

[00:21:01] were just like, oh, we'd work together.

[00:21:05] And yeah, set to music and it's pretty awesome.

[00:21:08] So you haven't seen whiplash.

[00:21:09] It was like the short film with the expanded...

[00:21:13] Well, I recently found out it was a...

[00:21:15] Damage is All Like Wrote a Feature film

[00:21:17] but then had to prove that it was worth doing

[00:21:19] so he made the short film which got traction

[00:21:20] and then they took the short film and made it the full length feature.

[00:21:25] And yeah, Miles Teller plays this student at,

[00:21:28] I forget the university and it's the best music college in the world

[00:21:33] and he just wants to be the best drummer

[00:21:35] and he has to learn from

[00:21:39] J.K. Simmons, this character who is a super hard ass

[00:21:43] but later on you find out he's rude and mean

[00:21:50] and yet he just wants to also make students great

[00:21:55] and I don't approve his methods

[00:21:57] but the conversation late in the movie

[00:22:00] where he explains what he was trying to do,

[00:22:02] I get it and there maybe is some truth to that

[00:22:07] pushing people that hard but I don't know.

[00:22:13] Yeah, so...

[00:22:14] But yeah, I found a scene like I just go back to see it

[00:22:17] like that every time, like that's the part where he's just like...

[00:22:21] J.K. Simmons is like, well, it's so messed up

[00:22:24] because when Miles Teller goes to the...

[00:22:27] After J.K. Simmons has been fired

[00:22:28] he takes a job as like just a club musician

[00:22:31] and then Miles Teller just watches him do...

[00:22:34] Just play the piano and then they have a conversation

[00:22:37] explaining like why things went they did

[00:22:39] and then J.K. Simmons tricks him into going to...

[00:22:42] Being the drummer at this like festival performance

[00:22:46] and switches the set on him so he can't play well at all

[00:22:50] and then Miles Teller gives up

[00:22:53] but then comes back shortly later

[00:22:54] and just like takes over the concert

[00:22:58] and then Simmons is like, okay, he's doing good.

[00:23:03] How far can we take this?

[00:23:06] And then finally they're like on the same...

[00:23:08] He's finally got his tempo so to speak.

[00:23:12] Yeah.

[00:23:13] So it's just like great.

[00:23:16] Anyway.

[00:23:18] It's a really great movie

[00:23:21] and you just talking about it makes me want to watch it again.

[00:23:25] I was first exposed to J.K. Simmons in Sam Raimi movies

[00:23:29] whether it's The Gift or Sider Man

[00:23:31] and he is so great in this

[00:23:35] and you kind of appreciate him so much as an actor

[00:23:38] when you see these ones.

[00:23:43] Yeah.

[00:23:44] It's like, why don't I own this movie?

[00:23:46] I should own this movie so I immediately got it.

[00:23:48] Oh, you don't own it?

[00:23:49] I didn't yeah.

[00:23:51] Thankfully because it's on 4K now

[00:23:53] so if I bought it like 10 years ago

[00:23:55] when I had to buy it again.

[00:23:57] I'm annoyed because everywhere I've tried to buy it

[00:23:59] they don't give the slip cover with it so.

[00:24:01] Yeah, I know.

[00:24:05] Yeah, I think that's it for this week.

[00:24:09] Anyway, what did you watch?

[00:24:11] So I went and saw the documentary, Casa Benita, Mia Moore.

[00:24:16] Nice.

[00:24:17] Which was really fun.

[00:24:19] I mean, my favorite part was when Trey was being all the voices of the puppets.

[00:24:26] Yeah.

[00:24:27] Hey, everybody.

[00:24:28] Same with Chance DeVos.

[00:24:31] And I mean his level of detail which I already knew

[00:24:34] which was really interesting because if you've seen the South Park documentary

[00:24:37] Six Days to Air

[00:24:39] they have a lot of the same vibes with Trey and Matt.

[00:24:44] Trey, and they even mentioned I think in both of the documentaries

[00:24:49] Trey is so creative and always pushing

[00:24:51] and Matt worries about the money and basically the business.

[00:24:57] And this documentary is really fun.

[00:25:01] But I mean, I guess it's not really a spoiler but it kind of is.

[00:25:05] So I mean, I don't care.

[00:25:07] At the end where Trey realizes he can't love Casa Benita

[00:25:12] and go back after all the hard work he did

[00:25:14] because he's a distraction of what Casa Benita is.

[00:25:17] It's kind of heartbreaking.

[00:25:20] Yeah.

[00:25:21] And those shots of him just wandering around and

[00:25:27] being by himself, it kind of hit me in my heart.

[00:25:31] I was like, oh man.

[00:25:32] And a weird recreation of the episode of South Park where Cartman is like,

[00:25:39] he ruins the place but he's like, was it worth it?

[00:25:42] Totally.

[00:25:42] Yeah.

[00:25:43] I mean, and when Matt and Trey are the skeletons talking is great.

[00:25:48] Yeah.

[00:25:50] It's just that when you saw it see what they did to preserve this Denver icon.

[00:25:56] I mean, how can you not respect those guys?

[00:25:59] Oh yeah.

[00:26:00] No one could have gone through that.

[00:26:03] Yeah.

[00:26:05] They talk about how if we can't fix it, I don't know who else would.

[00:26:10] You know, like anyone else.

[00:26:13] No one would have.

[00:26:13] I mean, it would have just been torn down.

[00:26:16] Yeah.

[00:26:17] These days no one just loves a thing.

[00:26:20] Like it has to be profitable.

[00:26:22] Yeah.

[00:26:22] And I did the math and based on like they've been on for a year

[00:26:26] and what it costs for a table or per dinner

[00:26:30] and how many people are removed through there.

[00:26:32] I think they've made their 40 million back now.

[00:26:34] It's just about keeping it going.

[00:26:36] Yeah.

[00:26:37] And it's, you know, yeah.

[00:26:42] It's really keeping it going and keeping the standards of what he wants for it to be.

[00:26:48] You know, because I didn't realize how dangerous it was to be a cliff diver there.

[00:26:53] Yeah.

[00:26:54] And we had friends in high school that were cliff divers.

[00:26:57] Yeah.

[00:26:59] That place is gross.

[00:27:00] Oh my God.

[00:27:02] I drank that soda.

[00:27:05] Oh dude.

[00:27:07] That's soda.

[00:27:08] And I was talking to my little guy.

[00:27:10] I took my buddy with it to it too.

[00:27:13] And he said, daddy, was that what cost of it?

[00:27:15] He was like when you were a kid.

[00:27:17] I said, yeah, but I didn't know it was that fucking gross.

[00:27:20] Yeah.

[00:27:23] So yeah.

[00:27:24] So yeah, it was really fun.

[00:27:26] It was a really cool documentary and I, you know, it touches probably people in Denver a little more.

[00:27:32] For sure.

[00:27:32] But I had a lot of fun with it.

[00:27:36] And so the other thing I watch is my little guy has been, he's been wanting to watch slasher movies and it's been hard for me because I mean, I don't really care.

[00:27:46] And I don't believe in censorship, but at the same time, I don't want to be that parent, you know.

[00:27:53] So I'm trying to think of slasher movies he can watch that aren't overly violent and they're just kind of silly.

[00:28:00] So we watched Child's Play 2 on this week and that one's pretty silly.

[00:28:06] You know, the first child's play was darker than I remembered it when I rewatched it recently.

[00:28:11] But I remember Child's Play 2 is a little more goofy, you know, where the eye guy, I always remember the dude getting the doll eye stuck in his gourd at the doll factory.

[00:28:22] And I go, you know, this movie is pretty silly.

[00:28:24] He can handle it.

[00:28:25] And so he laughed at it.

[00:28:27] And he had fun when Chuckie's like, women drivers, am I right?

[00:28:32] You know, silly things like that.

[00:28:35] I mean, if you don't know and I still don't know why they did it.

[00:28:39] At the end of the first Child's Play, you know, Chuckie is melted in a fireplace.

[00:28:44] And for some reason, the good guys factory decides to like bring him back and make him brand new.

[00:28:53] And he comes back to torment Andy.

[00:28:55] So, you know, pretty, pretty deep movie.

[00:29:02] Yeah, I like the idea of Chuckie, but like, I don't remember the movies that well.

[00:29:07] And I did watch them recently and yeah, they're, I wouldn't be scared by Chuckie.

[00:29:13] So I could just like kick the fuck out of him.

[00:29:15] Exactly. Like just pun across the room.

[00:29:17] Like even if he stabs you in the leg, like you're not going to die.

[00:29:19] Exactly. He's a little plastic toy to fucking pick him.

[00:29:23] Yeah.

[00:29:23] But, you know, it's not being scared of Chuckie.

[00:29:27] It's his personality that is fun as all I fall back on.

[00:29:30] Yeah.

[00:29:32] And that's all I watched this week.

[00:29:35] Cool.

[00:29:36] Next week we're seeing the Wild Robot, which looks great.

[00:29:41] Stay tuned for that.

[00:29:43] You can, like we said, you can follow us everywhere.

[00:29:49] So yeah, thanks for listening and we'll see you at the movies.

[00:30:48] And that's how you fucking do it.
