WEBVTT

00:00.979 --> 00:03.628
Alice! Is this cool? Yeah,

00:04.271 --> 00:07.546
come on in. Sorry to bother you, but we had to come and tell you

00:07.562 --> 00:09.714
how much we really enjoyed the show, didn't we, Garth?

00:11.191 --> 00:15.028
Hey, hey, hey. Oh, thanks. We're not

00:15.045 --> 00:18.432
mental or anything, so don't be afraid. My name is

00:18.497 --> 00:21.949
Wayne, and this is Garth. Nice to meet you

00:22.449 --> 00:25.915
guys. So, do you— Come

00:25.963 --> 00:29.365
to Milwaukee often? Well,

00:29.879 --> 00:33.281
I'm a regular visitor here, but Milwaukee has certainly had its

00:33.781 --> 00:37.358
share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers were coming here as early

00:37.858 --> 00:41.209
as the late 1600s to trade with the Native Americans. In fact,

00:41.354 --> 00:43.874
isn't Milwaukee an Indian name? Yes, Pete, it is.

00:44.564 --> 00:48.656
Actually, it's pronounced "Mee-lee-wah-kay," which is Algonquin for "the

00:48.672 --> 00:52.284
good land." I was not aware of that. I think

00:52.784 --> 00:55.880
one of the most interesting aspects of Milwaukee is the fact that it's the

00:56.380 --> 00:59.316
only major American city to have ever elected 3 socialist mayors.

01:00.135 --> 01:02.881
Does this guy know how to party or what? Huh?

01:03.764 --> 01:06.735
Huh? Oh. Okay.

01:07.698 --> 01:11.166
Well, we gotta get going. No, no, no. Stick around.

01:11.230 --> 01:13.848
Hang out with us. Cool.

01:14.586 --> 01:16.818
Yeah, we'll stay and hang around with yous.

01:18.277 --> 01:19.290
With Alice Cooper.

01:21.091 --> 01:23.647
We're not worthy!

01:23.920 --> 01:25.496
We're not worthy!

01:26.961 --> 01:31.238
We're not worthy! We suck!

01:33.191 --> 01:36.415
It's 2 Dads 1 Movie. It's the podcast where two middle-aged

01:36.915 --> 01:40.354
dads sit around and shoot the shit about the movies of the '80s and '90s.

01:40.418 --> 01:43.842
Here are your hosts, Steve Paulo and Nic Briana.

01:45.477 --> 01:48.587
Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of 2 Dads 1 Movie.

01:48.699 --> 01:52.034
I'm Steve. And I'm Nic. And today we continue our march through 2 Dads

01:52.066 --> 01:55.560
2 Decades into the '90s to 1992

01:56.474 --> 01:59.472
and the comedy classic Wayne's World.

02:00.401 --> 02:04.168
Party on, Nic. Party on, Steve. So I picked

02:04.668 --> 02:07.503
Wayne's World for us. This, you know, to me, I was looking at what came

02:07.551 --> 02:10.949
out in '92 and also what we've been watching over the last few weeks.

02:10.997 --> 02:13.770
And there have been some fairly heavy pictures. Yeah. Over the last few weeks,

02:13.802 --> 02:17.008
especially the last two with Sleeping with the Enemy and Goodfellas. So I thought,

02:17.056 --> 02:19.925
hey, let's break it up a little bit. Let's do a little, a little comedy.

02:20.518 --> 02:23.098
And this was such a great movie to do because this is definitely what I

02:23.598 --> 02:26.190
saw in the theater. 100%. This was, you know, my parents took me to see

02:26.690 --> 02:28.049
this. I think we were like 12 when this came out. So it was like

02:28.549 --> 02:31.831
prime time to go see a movie like this. And, you know, it stuck.

02:31.959 --> 02:35.405
Like so much of this movie stuck with me and

02:35.421 --> 02:38.930
I think with other people our age throughout our lives. And I still literally the

02:38.946 --> 02:43.081
other day in a professional setting found myself saying, excuse me, baking powder,

02:43.273 --> 02:46.384
like literally at work. Now I work remotely, so it was over a Zoom call,

02:46.400 --> 02:49.767
but the point is I said it and I'm 46 years old. So it

02:50.267 --> 02:53.455
just seemed like a real no-brainer to do Wayne's World

02:53.955 --> 02:57.110
when we got to '92. You know, this really was a feather in

02:57.142 --> 03:00.413
the cap of Dana Carvey's career, but like really helped kick

03:00.913 --> 03:04.406
off Mike Myers as a movie star. And there's so many

03:04.502 --> 03:08.206
people, like all cameos and people playing themselves.

03:08.831 --> 03:12.168
The supporting cast is just really, really great. All around. And yeah,

03:12.280 --> 03:15.315
I was just really excited to talk about Wayne's World with you. And,

03:15.812 --> 03:18.525
and, you know, that's kind of why, why we picked it for this week,

03:18.541 --> 03:21.062
why I brought it here this week. What's your history, Nic, with Wayne's World?

03:21.351 --> 03:23.711
Oh man. So I don't think I saw this in the theater,

03:24.177 --> 03:27.885
but definitely soon after it came out on video, this hit

03:27.949 --> 03:32.364
at the perfect time. I was probably just like you getting into SNL

03:32.864 --> 03:36.057
and all that stuff right around that age, like, you know, 12, 13. Yeah.

03:36.683 --> 03:39.458
When you can start staying up late and catching it because there's no— yeah,

03:39.506 --> 03:42.442
yeah, there's no recording it or whatever, so you had to stay up to watch

03:42.942 --> 03:46.200
it. Yeah. Um, and my daughter right now is 14, and she's been

03:46.297 --> 03:49.496
really into SNL over the last few years. Like, it's kind of the, the age

03:49.544 --> 03:52.422
where it's hitting you, even the older stuff and everything. Um,

03:52.551 --> 03:55.235
so yeah, I love the sketch on SNL,

03:56.076 --> 03:59.525
uh, and then when I saw this movie, yeah, it's fantastic. It does

03:59.622 --> 04:03.776
such a good job. And, and like you've talked about, there's a spectrum of SNL

04:03.889 --> 04:07.213
movie, uh, successes, and this is definitely on the, on the higher end of that.

04:07.264 --> 04:10.487
This and Wayne's 2, which we'll do at

04:10.987 --> 04:13.391
some point, because 2 is one of the better comedy sequels ever, really. Yeah,

04:13.455 --> 04:16.844
they're, they're probably the number 1 and number 2 of the, like, SNL sketches

04:17.344 --> 04:19.653
turned movies. I mean, there are others that are good, but like, it's hard to

04:20.153 --> 04:23.388
top these 2. They're, they're 3 and 4 for me, uh, because I like the

04:23.888 --> 04:27.415
Blues Brothers. Oh, and MacGruber. And I like MacGruber. But I— they're

04:27.495 --> 04:31.357
all great. They're all like the top end of them. They're not an It's Pat

04:31.454 --> 04:34.298
or The Ladies Man. Yeah,

04:34.395 --> 04:36.576
Coneheads, like, uh,

04:37.810 --> 04:39.238
Coneheads gave us a great Red Hot Chili Peppers song. It's true.

04:39.320 --> 04:42.552
If someone who thinks that's a real thing.

04:43.930 --> 04:47.776
So yeah, I thought this movie was fun. And again, so quotable. Like, how often

04:48.276 --> 04:51.077
were us and our friends in middle school and high school just like firing things

04:51.577 --> 04:54.731
back and forth? Where again, if you don't watch this often,

04:54.987 --> 04:57.391
you just say things in your life and then you watch the movie, you're like,

04:57.872 --> 05:00.372
oh my God, that's a Wayne's World thing. I've been saying this to my cousin

05:00.872 --> 05:03.641
for years. You've been saying schwing to your cousin for years? Yeah, well, it's been

05:04.141 --> 05:05.195
a big problem.

05:07.503 --> 05:10.934
Funky family reunions over there at Nic's house. All right, cool.

05:11.414 --> 05:14.925
Like, he and I have an understanding. Good. I'm glad. As long as it's mutual.

05:15.037 --> 05:18.420
Okay, let's jump into the facts on Wayne's World. All right.

05:18.484 --> 05:22.219
The movie Wayne's World was released on Valentine's Day, February 14th,

05:22.251 --> 05:25.666
1992. Speaking of schwing. Yeah. With a PG-13

05:25.762 --> 05:29.481
rating and a running time of 94 minutes. Directed by Penelope

05:29.981 --> 05:32.799
Spheeris, written by Mike Myers, Bonnie Turner, and Terry Turner.

05:33.554 --> 05:37.502
Starring Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, and Rob Lowe. The score is very respectable

05:38.002 --> 05:41.258
scores, a 79% from Rotten Tomatoes, a 7.0 even

05:41.758 --> 05:45.206
from IMDb, which is honestly a 79 on Rotten Tomatoes is a much better score

05:45.270 --> 05:48.625
than a 7 on IMDb. It's actually a little low on IMDb, but 2 thumbs

05:48.705 --> 05:52.380
up from Siskel and Ebert. They clearly understood the assignment, realized what they were looking

05:52.477 --> 05:56.345
at. Yep. And Chicago homers also. There you go. That's true. It's a Chicago type

05:56.505 --> 06:00.004
movie. Quite a bit of awards activity. It was

06:00.052 --> 06:03.408
nominated for 4 1993

06:03.489 --> 06:06.830
MTV Movie Awards. It won one of them. It won the Best On-Screen

06:06.943 --> 06:10.670
Duo for Carvey and Myers, but was also nominated for Most Desirable Female.

06:10.863 --> 06:13.466
Tia Carrere was nominated. She lost to Linda Hamilton in T2.

06:14.735 --> 06:18.045
And then both Myers and Carvey, separately from each other, were 2 of the

06:18.545 --> 06:21.933
5 nominees for Best Comedic Performance that year. They lost to

06:22.045 --> 06:25.644
Billy Crystal in City Slickers, which— that's a split the vote type

06:26.144 --> 06:29.274
situation. Yeah, that's a weird one in my opinion. But Anyway,

06:29.355 --> 06:33.080
and then also interestingly, at the MTV Video Music Awards that

06:33.192 --> 06:37.544
year, the video for, that was re-released

06:38.044 --> 06:41.301
for Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen that incorporated scenes from this

06:41.801 --> 06:45.299
movie, won best video from a movie. So technically this

06:45.315 --> 06:49.410
was a win for Wayne's World as well. On a $20 million budget,

06:49.426 --> 06:52.718
which like, not sure where that shows up on the screen,

06:52.782 --> 06:56.555
but it was a $20 million budget. So, okay. Music, I mean. I guess

06:57.055 --> 06:59.269
that's true. The music that they had to pay for. Yes, that's a good point.

06:59.606 --> 07:02.734
$183 million at the box office,

07:02.751 --> 07:06.617
more than 9 times what it cost. Blockbuster by any measure.

07:07.227 --> 07:09.601
And obviously one of the reasons why this movie got a sequel that came out

07:09.649 --> 07:13.291
like 18 months later, the sequel comes out and there were more and more,

07:13.484 --> 07:16.532
you know, Lorne Michaels produced SNL type comedy movies throughout the '90s,

07:17.334 --> 07:20.719
not most of which did not hit like this. But because this one hit so

07:21.219 --> 07:23.928
big, it was a green light. It's worth it. Yeah. Just give it a shot.

07:24.008 --> 07:27.268
Exactly. Yeah. Wayne's World 2, check out Wayne's World 2 for sure.

07:27.398 --> 07:30.342
It's really good. We will absolutely do that because that, again, I honestly believe it

07:30.842 --> 07:32.639
is one of the best comedy sequels. It stands on its own. It could have

07:32.672 --> 07:35.755
been just Wayne's World and it would have been a satisfactory Wayne's World. Like,

07:35.787 --> 07:38.154
it would have been a great Wayne's World. Yeah, I mean, it does a good

07:38.654 --> 07:41.648
job of picking up where this one leaves off and sort of like incorporating the

07:41.776 --> 07:45.059
events of this movie into it. But it also could be standalone, which is I

07:45.559 --> 07:48.514
think also the mark of a really well-premised sketch, right?

07:48.771 --> 07:52.515
When SNL has good recurring sketches, it's because the storyline isn't as interesting.

07:52.563 --> 07:54.475
It doesn't matter as much as the characters, but those characters can take us anywhere

07:54.975 --> 07:57.978
we want to go with them, right? And that's sort of of the thing we

07:58.478 --> 08:01.282
have with Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar. All right,

08:01.523 --> 08:05.212
let's kick it off. So the way Wayne's World begins, we are watching TV.

08:05.292 --> 08:07.827
And it turns out we are watching TV with Rob Lowe.

08:08.597 --> 08:12.527
His character's name is Benjamin. He's in his apartment

08:13.027 --> 08:16.312
or whatever in Chicago, big high-rise apartment in Chicago with the beautiful Ione Skye,

08:17.162 --> 08:20.451
who we probably remember as Diana or Diane or Diana

08:20.951 --> 08:24.605
from Say Anything. She was like the main character, John Cusack.

08:25.272 --> 08:28.253
Pined After and Say Anything. That's where I remember Ione Skye from. Beautiful woman.

08:28.415 --> 08:32.086
She's not in this very much, but she is the one flipping channels. And we

08:32.586 --> 08:34.840
see a couple of classic sort of late '80s, early '90s commercials. We got the

08:35.340 --> 08:37.804
Clapper. You know, there's a handful of other things that like— Chia Pet. Yeah,

08:37.884 --> 08:41.412
Chia Pet's on there. But she flips and she gets to cable access channel 10,

08:41.765 --> 08:45.364
Aurora, Illinois. And it's Wayne's World. And she's

08:45.864 --> 08:47.758
laughing at it. And Benjamin's like, what the hell is this? And she goes,

08:47.790 --> 08:50.957
oh my God, this is hilarious. Everybody loves these guys. And he immediately is like,

08:51.575 --> 08:54.829
Hey, we've got somebody for Vanderhoff. We actually did see the ad.

08:54.975 --> 08:58.633
Brian Doyle-Murray plays Noah Vanderhoff, who runs Noah's Arcade.

08:59.411 --> 09:02.671
Fucking worst pun name I've ever heard, and I love puns. But, you know,

09:02.687 --> 09:05.659
he does his own little commercial about, you know, come play Xantar and Space Invaders

09:06.159 --> 09:08.833
and shit like that at my arcades. And so immediately Benjamin's like, hey, I think

09:09.333 --> 09:11.979
we got something we can sell to Vanderhoff, is what he says. So he's immediately

09:12.060 --> 09:15.287
already thinking, he's planning, he's sort of figuring stuff

09:15.787 --> 09:17.918
out. They are eating Shakey's, by the way. They mentioned specifically that. That's right.

09:17.999 --> 09:20.164
Shakey's pizza. Of the reference in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. That's right, that's where it

09:20.664 --> 09:24.681
came from. The restaurant was called Shakey's. Yeah, and it's a reference to Shakey's

09:25.181 --> 09:28.643
as well. So, uh, and, and on the Wayne's World show,

09:28.999 --> 09:32.378
they have a special guest who's this guy, the inventor of the Suck Cut,

09:32.394 --> 09:35.622
which is like a Flowbee type thing, right? Vacuum haircutting, uh,

09:36.106 --> 09:39.267
device, also named, I think, in reference to Ron Popeil. His name

09:39.767 --> 09:42.606
is Ron Paxton. Oh, okay. I imagine they did a Ron Popeil joke by calling

09:43.106 --> 09:45.112
him that, but I don't know, maybe not. RIP to Ron Popeil, I think.

09:45.487 --> 09:48.958
Um, so, uh, yeah, so he's

09:49.232 --> 09:52.391
He's sucking— he's, he's, uh, cutting Garth's

09:52.440 --> 09:56.128
hair with this. And Dana Carvey, very funny with the physical stuff and like

09:56.628 --> 10:00.378
his reactions to— one of the challenges with bringing, um,

10:00.523 --> 10:04.051
a short-form SNL sketch to a movie is like adding extra

10:04.551 --> 10:07.772
attributes to the characters to make them interesting. And they do such a good job

10:08.272 --> 10:12.455
in this with Garth, with just extending the Garth character, because you don't get indications

10:12.711 --> 10:16.368
of like the way he really is. And all the choices they make— his car

10:16.576 --> 10:20.331
is perfect, like all these things are just so good. So I love Garth's

10:20.831 --> 10:24.457
reaction. Like, you know, he's freaking out and everything. And of course Benjamin

10:24.522 --> 10:27.572
doesn't get this and his lady loves it.

10:27.652 --> 10:31.747
It's the funniest thing in the world, which is just a perfect— this

10:32.247 --> 10:35.488
happens with every generation where there's the thing that all the kids love and

10:35.504 --> 10:38.169
you just don't get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like, I don't know, it's making

10:38.669 --> 10:40.738
money. I mean, how many times do you try to show somebody I Think You

10:41.238 --> 10:43.531
Should Leave or you try to show them the Eric Andre Show or whatever and

10:44.031 --> 10:47.033
they're like, what the fuck is this? So, uh, I can definitely relate to her

10:47.082 --> 10:49.974
there. It's goddamn comedy gold is what it is. You should respect,

10:50.359 --> 10:53.171
respect that Tim Robinson, the Detroiters. Yeah.

10:53.734 --> 10:57.253
Um, yeah, so, uh, so just kind of a goofy scene

10:57.285 --> 11:00.466
there. And then we have Wayne kind of like talking to the camera and introducing

11:00.498 --> 11:03.455
everybody. He spends a lot of time talking directly to the camera in this,

11:03.471 --> 11:05.608
and there's a joke at one point, uh, we'll get to it soon, but he

11:05.801 --> 11:08.500
jokes about, hey, only Wayne, only Garth and I can talk to the camera kind

11:09.000 --> 11:11.065
of thing. Uh, but he starts— and I love that he kicks off with "Let

11:11.565 --> 11:13.332
me bring you up to speed." And it's just like, you know, and he lays

11:13.364 --> 11:15.986
out the whole thing and it's like, look, if you're familiar with the SNL sketch,

11:16.034 --> 11:19.540
this would technically be unnecessary. He talks about how, you know, he's got this cable

11:20.040 --> 11:22.865
access show, his best friend Garth, he lives with his parents. But like all this

11:23.365 --> 11:26.744
stuff is either explicitly called out in the sketches or obvious. I mean, there were

11:27.244 --> 11:30.543
sketches where Wayne's mom would yell down the stairs to the basement to them and

11:31.043 --> 11:32.868
he'd yell back or whatever, right? So all this stuff was kind of known,

11:32.884 --> 11:35.306
but by giving it to us right here, you don't have to have seen the

11:35.806 --> 11:38.115
sketch to enjoy the show, to enjoy the movie. And I think that's important.

11:38.516 --> 11:39.994
And I also think it's the kind of thing where I think this is an

11:40.494 --> 11:44.429
example of Wayne— excuse me, of Michael— Mike Myers and Dana Carvey

11:44.863 --> 11:48.191
having created more backstory for these characters than they ever needed on SNL.

11:48.821 --> 11:52.427
Right. And I really think— yeah, I'm sure some of the work came in transitioning

11:52.444 --> 11:56.066
to the movie, but I'll bet you there were things that Dana knew about Garth

11:56.486 --> 12:00.129
that never showed up on screen, but he knew them. But it informs the way

12:00.629 --> 12:02.769
that he plays the character. But you don't have to talk about it. Yeah,

12:02.785 --> 12:06.070
that's— that's a good point. They must have thought this out. And so then when

12:06.570 --> 12:07.886
they came to like, hey, let's write the movie, it was like, cool, we already

12:08.386 --> 12:11.058
know so much about these two. What set pieces can we put them in that

12:11.558 --> 12:14.670
are fun? And that's really what you end up with this sort of sketch adjacent,

12:14.895 --> 12:18.394
you know, comedy movie. But yeah, we also meet the Mirthmobile, right?

12:19.360 --> 12:21.567
So, and there's a little bit of weird geography going on here that I'll call

12:22.067 --> 12:24.144
out later in the movie as well. But like, it's hard to tell who the

12:24.644 --> 12:26.851
Mirthmobile belongs to because at one point it looks like it's Wayne's car, at another

12:27.351 --> 12:30.760
point it looks like it's Garth's car. It's hard to tell if they live

12:31.260 --> 12:33.218
across the street from each other or not. I think they do, but then where

12:33.267 --> 12:36.485
is Garth driving up from? And if they just left

12:36.985 --> 12:38.678
the recording, I guess maybe they returned the van and are coming back 'cause it's

12:39.178 --> 12:39.532
the crew is with them, or at least 2 out of the 3 guys.

12:41.423 --> 12:45.117
Is with them in the Mirthmobile. So I guess maybe they delivered, they brought

12:45.617 --> 12:48.379
the broadcast truck back to the cable access place and then are now returning,

12:48.475 --> 12:51.945
I guess. Okay. But there's a weird jump. Yeah, they are both driving the car

12:52.445 --> 12:56.122
and the Mirthmobile is this blue AMC Gremlin that has like

12:56.622 --> 13:01.423
flames on the side of it. It is just so, so perfect for

13:01.923 --> 13:05.744
a funny movie car. Yes. You know, they nailed it. Absolutely. And so

13:05.921 --> 13:09.085
they put on some music and of course this is the sequence As we're driving

13:09.117 --> 13:12.515
around Aurora and getting some like establishing shots of different businesses

13:13.015 --> 13:15.465
and different things in the area, we get Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. I don't know

13:15.965 --> 13:18.638
about you, but this was literally the first time I'd ever heard Bohemian Rhapsody when

13:19.055 --> 13:22.726
I watched this movie. Okay, so at this time, because I knew who Queen

13:22.822 --> 13:26.750
was and stuff and I knew We Will Rock You and everything, and I had

13:27.250 --> 13:30.805
never heard Bohemian Rhapsody. Yeah, I swear to this day, every 5 years there's a

13:30.870 --> 13:34.156
new Queen song that comes out where I'm like, there's not— how would I have

13:34.220 --> 13:37.282
not heard that shit before? But yeah, dude, with you. Yeah, yeah.

13:37.330 --> 13:39.478
Because I think I knew, I knew We Will Rock You. I think I knew

13:39.510 --> 13:42.956
We Are the Champions. And that was probably it. My parents just weren't big Queen

13:43.375 --> 13:46.339
fans, so this wasn't in the normal rotation of stuff they played for us on

13:46.371 --> 13:49.511
road trips. I heard a lot of Beatles, Elton John, Billy Joel, stuff like that.

13:49.818 --> 13:53.046
Not Queen so much. But it was actually funny after this, I think my dad,

13:53.062 --> 13:55.822
I remember now, my dad bought like a Queen's Greatest Hits, you know, tape.

13:55.887 --> 13:59.182
Classic Queen, I remember that. Right, yeah. 2 volumes of it. Because then I got

13:59.682 --> 14:02.143
to know like Fat Bottom Girls and Bicycle Race and Flash Gordon and all that

14:02.175 --> 14:05.751
other stuff. So over time, but yeah, this was my first experience of Bohemian Rhapsody.

14:05.832 --> 14:08.774
I think it was a lot people our age or younger. Yeah, a lot of

14:09.274 --> 14:12.550
us, it was our first experience with Bohemian Rhapsody, and it's fucking great, and it

14:13.050 --> 14:16.260
still holds up. It's fun. They're doing the headbanging, they're doing the

14:16.390 --> 14:20.053
singing along. It's just— it's 5 minutes into the movie and it's already given us

14:20.553 --> 14:24.490
a ton. I mean, they're— this is a very densely packed

14:24.555 --> 14:27.800
movie. Absolutely. And so, uh, along their drive, they pause the song at

14:28.300 --> 14:30.868
one point, sort of before the, the real melodic slow part, and they see their

14:31.368 --> 14:33.791
buddy Phil, and it's like, Phil, you already partied out. The dude looks like he's

14:33.840 --> 14:36.408
gonna throw up like the second whatever. And, and but Wayne tells Garth, he's like,

14:36.424 --> 14:40.162
I give you a no puke guarantee or whatever. No hurl guarantee.

14:40.691 --> 14:43.483
And, and this is why I think it's Garth's car, because Garth is the one

14:43.532 --> 14:46.965
so worried about puking in the Mirthmobile. Even though Wayne drives

14:47.465 --> 14:49.677
it later, I do feel like, you know, this is probably Garth's car because he's

14:49.693 --> 14:53.400
like, oh dude, what if he hurls? Yeah, yeah. Uh,

14:54.266 --> 14:57.491
one of the stops that they make is the local kind of music store,

14:58.021 --> 15:01.551
and they drive by so that Wayne can like window gaze at

15:02.051 --> 15:05.193
his dream guitar, which is sitting there in the, in the window there, this white

15:05.693 --> 15:09.106
Fender Stratocaster, which is You know, just beautiful. He calls it Excalibur.

15:09.330 --> 15:12.904
Yeah. He's like, it will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

15:13.674 --> 15:16.462
Shout out to my cousin Jen. That is one that we say back and forth.

15:16.526 --> 15:18.818
The other thing. So,

15:20.245 --> 15:24.332
so they end up making the stop at Stan Makita's

15:24.832 --> 15:28.243
Donuts. Yes. And Stan Makita was a Blackhawks player. Yes, he was. And this

15:28.743 --> 15:30.983
was— I referenced him in Ferris Bueller as well because I thought it would have

15:31.483 --> 15:34.830
made more sense for Cameron to be wearing a Stan Makita jersey than a

15:35.330 --> 15:37.916
Gordie Howe jersey. So yeah, it's his donut shop, or I guess, you know,

15:37.996 --> 15:41.654
he probably owns— here's the thing, I don't know if there's a real Stamakitas Donuts

15:42.154 --> 15:44.680
or not, because I could imagine the way that a lot of like ex-sports stars

15:45.180 --> 15:47.350
go into like, I own a used car dealership in the town I played in.

15:47.709 --> 15:50.314
I could see a chain of donut shops. Totally. Yeah. That's the thing you do.

15:51.112 --> 15:53.516
Um, but out front— Isn't Tim Horton, wasn't he a hockey player? I think he

15:54.016 --> 15:56.727
was a hockey player. Maple Leafs, I think. Yes, exactly. So,

15:57.082 --> 16:00.500
but, uh, so they go outside and we meet Officer Koharski, who's this very,

16:00.766 --> 16:04.173
you know, sort of He looks too tan. He looks very leather.

16:04.366 --> 16:07.689
I think this is the guy that played, um, O'Malley, uh,

16:08.125 --> 16:11.432
Steven Seagal's buddy in the movie Hard to Kill. Oh, I don't think I've

16:11.932 --> 16:15.418
seen it. And, uh, yeah, good to see him. It's, it's fun to see Gen

16:15.918 --> 16:19.034
X people giving shit to a cop because I feel like every Gen X person

16:19.534 --> 16:22.507
I know in my life just could not love cops more. So it's great to

16:23.007 --> 16:25.693
see them making these, uh, bacon jokes to the cop. Why didn't you just follow

16:26.193 --> 16:28.758
directions? Well, just, just, just, just do what you're told. Just do what you're told

16:29.258 --> 16:32.443
and everything will be fine. Yeah. So I smell bacon. And Kowarski, to his credit,

16:32.459 --> 16:35.255
is like, "Ha ha, that's what you're doing." Yeah, good. Give each other shit.

16:35.304 --> 16:37.405
Because he even says, "I remember when I was a teenager and I used to

16:37.905 --> 16:40.380
say that kind of shit to cops." So that's funny. So Kowarski's okay. But he

16:40.880 --> 16:43.915
tells them the story about, you know, a tour bus going through town and they

16:44.415 --> 16:46.390
got tips that there was drugs on board. So they had to search the bus,

16:46.406 --> 16:49.535
didn't find anything, and then had to do full body cavity searches.

16:49.877 --> 16:54.313
And he goes, "I inspected 14 individuals myself." "Just

16:54.813 --> 16:58.808
gross." And then there's this moment where he

16:59.308 --> 17:01.858
says that and then Phil looks like he's gonna hurl. So they're like, "This guy

17:02.358 --> 17:05.679
needs coffee and Crueller stat," right? And they wanna get him aside. But Kojarski's holding

17:05.791 --> 17:08.857
a quarter like there's a joke that was pulled.

17:09.002 --> 17:12.196
I think there was a joke cut out of this moment because he's holding a

17:12.696 --> 17:14.235
quarter and he ends up like flipping it or dropping it and picking it up

17:14.735 --> 17:18.216
or something. But it's like, I'm imagining him like, "I pulled this right out of

17:18.716 --> 17:20.961
a guy or something." And that's what makes Phil go, but they decided to cut

17:21.461 --> 17:23.432
that. But he's holding his quarter in a way that's like, that's— there's a reason

17:23.932 --> 17:27.186
he's holding that quarter that way. That's not just random, you know. This movie does

17:27.234 --> 17:30.923
a great job of staying solidly PG and nibbling

17:30.972 --> 17:34.661
around any real reference. Like, even they're not— they're talking about their

17:35.161 --> 17:38.383
friend Phil who's partied out. Yeah, but they're never like, he got drunk last night,

17:38.431 --> 17:42.265
he's hungover, he— you know, like, they really don't quite touch

17:42.377 --> 17:45.570
all this stuff. They do make it kind of so a kid could watch it

17:46.070 --> 17:49.371
and not really feel like they don't understand everything happened. You're 100% right on a

17:49.452 --> 17:52.194
lot of that. It is PG-13, and I think that they— it's a pretty solid

17:52.694 --> 17:55.822
PG-13. And the problem with some of the "this will go over kids' heads" stuff

17:55.903 --> 17:59.289
is that kids will repeat stuff. Sure. I've repeated— and

17:59.789 --> 18:01.835
this is later in the movie— but "the cream of some young guy" is something

18:01.868 --> 18:04.834
I said as a child. That's definitely— and had to be told to knock it

18:04.914 --> 18:08.223
the fuck off. Yeah. Because I had no idea what

18:08.723 --> 18:11.192
the hell that joke was. I just knew that like everybody reacted to it on

18:11.208 --> 18:15.197
screen. Yeah. Like, but anyway, so yeah, so now we get into Stan Makita's

18:15.697 --> 18:19.089
Donuts. And we meet Glenn, played by the incomparable Ed Harris.

18:19.186 --> 18:21.558
Not Ed Harris. Ed O'Neill. Ed O'Neill, thank you. That's how incomparable he is.

18:21.654 --> 18:24.736
Incomparable, no, but played by Al Bundy. And he gives

18:25.236 --> 18:27.519
us, and he talks directly to the camera, and he's the first person who isn't

18:27.551 --> 18:30.316
Wayne or Garth to speak directly to the camera, and tells us this thing about

18:30.816 --> 18:33.546
like, "When you kill a man in battle, they call it heroic. But if you

18:33.562 --> 18:36.223
do it in a fit of passion, it's murder." And he's like pissed about it.

18:36.303 --> 18:39.790
And Wayne's like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Like too heavy, too dark,

18:39.936 --> 18:42.954
and only Garth and I can talk to the camera. What are you doing?" That

18:43.454 --> 18:46.583
is so effective, right? For a couple reasons. Because one, it's showing

18:46.680 --> 18:50.344
us that some random other character can start talking to the screen

18:50.844 --> 18:54.426
at any time. Right, right. And then also that it can go really dark,

18:54.442 --> 18:57.816
like, you know, kind of an Adam Sandler movie way where there's just this level

18:58.316 --> 19:01.399
of darkness. So now the scope of what we might experience in this movie has

19:01.431 --> 19:03.552
been pushed out. So we're like, dude, I don't know what the hell is going

19:04.052 --> 19:06.656
to happen. It's interesting because clearly the first act of this movie, the early part,

19:06.672 --> 19:09.615
and I don't really think that it, that it comes back in many ways.

19:09.664 --> 19:12.219
It does a little bit later. But really, the whole first act of this movie

19:12.235 --> 19:14.461
feels like it's almost like a mockumentary. It almost feels like a This Is Spinal

19:14.478 --> 19:18.116
Tap kind of situation where Wayne and Garth are deliberately having like a

19:18.616 --> 19:21.034
camera crew follow them. And obviously that's not what's happening. We don't get any of

19:21.534 --> 19:25.123
that explicit, but the way that Wayne especially just is constantly talking

19:25.236 --> 19:28.154
to the camera and referring to it and stuff, it gives it that feel.

19:28.218 --> 19:30.543
That goes away quite a bit in the second act. It comes back a little

19:31.043 --> 19:32.901
in the third, but like, you know, it's a big thing early on here.

19:33.686 --> 19:36.781
So yeah, so basically this is, and this is when we're kind of getting introduced

19:37.281 --> 19:40.886
to more and more characters in this world. And Terry, one of the sort

19:41.386 --> 19:43.099
of like crew guys for the show, and then another of the crew guys,

19:43.388 --> 19:46.867
are sitting with this old guy, Old Man Withers, and, hey, it's Old Man Withers

19:46.899 --> 19:49.352
who runs the amusement park, which is like, well, boy, that's going to, you know,

19:49.385 --> 19:52.206
it's one of those plants that you see in the setting of Chekhov's Gun that's

19:52.706 --> 19:55.477
coming back somehow later. But yeah, but you found out a little bit about Mr.

19:55.541 --> 19:59.598
Withers. So this, this guy who plays Old Man Withers has this perfect

19:59.870 --> 20:03.590
old man look. Yes. His real name is Carmen

20:03.654 --> 20:06.877
Filippi. F-I-L-P-P-I. Okay. Okay. Filippi.

20:07.166 --> 20:10.645
And he died several years ago, lived to the ripe old age of

20:10.773 --> 20:13.740
80. So good for him. But my wife and I were watching this and she

20:14.240 --> 20:16.435
was like, he's always an old man and stuff. Like, what are his other roles?

20:16.483 --> 20:19.403
And we go to his roles and these are just some of his things from,

20:20.237 --> 20:23.717
from IMDb, his other roles over the years. Bum number 2,

20:24.343 --> 20:27.182
wino, usher slash drunk, bum,

20:28.353 --> 20:31.080
prisoner, dummy, bum,

20:31.785 --> 20:34.929
wino, farmer number 2. Good for him.

20:35.956 --> 20:39.388
Okay. Ticket taker. We're moving up in the world. The bum.

20:41.026 --> 20:43.980
Bus Station Bum, Panhandler, Hobo Jack,

20:44.558 --> 20:47.303
Bum. Oh, he got a name on that one. Yeah, he's got a name.

20:47.961 --> 20:51.028
Jack. Let's see. Mop Man, Jail Bum.

20:51.220 --> 20:53.725
Hey. Okay. What the fuck is a jail bum? Wino.

20:53.934 --> 20:56.294
That's 3. Why? The Bum. Wow.

20:56.855 --> 21:01.014
Street Bum Number One. I mean, so you can see that, that this actor

21:01.094 --> 21:04.915
has so much range. He can play anything from a Street

21:04.947 --> 21:08.847
Bum Number One to boxcar hobo number 4 and,

21:09.103 --> 21:11.494
you know, just knock it out of the park. So I thought it was really

21:11.606 --> 21:15.264
funny that from early in his career— I mean, yeah, this guy was

21:15.297 --> 21:18.891
in movies until the 2000s, and back in like 1968

21:19.391 --> 21:22.452
they're like, oh hey, uh, congratulations on graduating Juilliard,

21:22.485 --> 21:25.549
you're gonna be playing hobos for the rest of your life. I assure you that

21:26.049 --> 21:28.999
man did not attend Juilliard. Uh, I would still like to know the hell he

21:29.499 --> 21:33.379
ate out of the dumpster outside Juilliard. But like, what the hell's a jail bum

21:33.427 --> 21:37.164
if you're in jail? Like You have a place to live. Doesn't that

21:37.664 --> 21:40.762
sound good? You're in jail but you're homeless, so you can go. So I

21:41.262 --> 21:44.106
live in the yard. I can go. So I'm free. You just live in the

21:44.606 --> 21:47.818
yard. They make you sleep under, under newspaper in the yard. That's it.

21:47.914 --> 21:51.464
Like, that sounds awful. It's like the opposite of solitary confinement

21:51.964 --> 21:54.875
but still worse. Oh my God. So that's Old Man Withers. Uh,

21:55.975 --> 21:59.388
uh, Stacy, Wayne's ex-girlfriend, played by— it was Laura

21:59.888 --> 22:03.190
Flynn Boyle. Yeah, she looks great. I mean Real flex for this to

22:03.254 --> 22:06.058
be the "Ew, get away from me" girl, right? I gotta say, so yeah,

22:06.074 --> 22:09.502
so it's Laura Flynn Boyle, who famously, right, "Twin Peaks," "The Practice," right?

22:09.806 --> 22:13.411
She has had a great career on television. I, as a

22:13.911 --> 22:17.096
kid, starting from the first time, thought she was gorgeous, and still

22:17.596 --> 22:21.166
do. And yeah, they play the she's kind of crazy a

22:21.278 --> 22:25.043
bit, but not enough. Wayne comes off like an asshole to

22:25.543 --> 22:28.968
Stacy, 'cause the worst thing she does is buy him a bad gift and try

22:29.468 --> 22:31.275
to get him jealous by making out with another guy. That's the worst shit she

22:31.775 --> 22:34.380
does. That's not that bad. And she looks stunning. Now look, yeah,

22:34.717 --> 22:37.598
this is a world in which a guy who looks like Mike Myers ends up

22:37.694 --> 22:41.281
with a fucking career. So clearly he has the ability to,

22:41.489 --> 22:44.591
to, you know, punch above his weight. And a guy with Mike Myers's,

22:44.671 --> 22:48.672
like, life as well, lives with his parents. Like he says

22:48.704 --> 22:52.165
earlier, like, I got an extensive collection of name tags and hairnets about

22:52.665 --> 22:55.902
his jobs. And everything's a successful person. Yeah, just a guy. But yeah,

22:55.918 --> 22:59.360
but Stacy is there. She's And she gives a— she brings Wayne a

22:59.860 --> 23:03.111
gift. She's like— and they're just— and she gives him a gun rack, right?

23:03.159 --> 23:05.568
And this is where he has this great line. Well, when he first— when he—

23:05.649 --> 23:08.326
when she walks up and it's like, Wayne, it's our anniversary, and he's like,

23:08.390 --> 23:11.957
we broke up, so no, it's not, like, kind of thing. And she's

23:12.005 --> 23:15.090
got this thing, and it's, you know, it's a big wide, you know, large thing.

23:15.154 --> 23:18.548
But he says, if that's a severed head, I'm gonna be very upset,

23:18.855 --> 23:21.690
which is a fucking great line. But then yes, he opens it up, he kind

23:22.190 --> 23:23.897
of rips it open, and it's a gun rack. And he goes, what is it?

23:23.946 --> 23:25.968
She goes, it's a It's a gun rack. And he goes, a gun rack?

23:27.059 --> 23:30.074
What do I need with a gun rack? I don't own a gun,

23:30.652 --> 23:33.635
let alone multiple guns that would necessitate an entire rack. Yeah.

23:34.116 --> 23:37.645
What am I going to do with a gun rack? And her response,

23:38.207 --> 23:40.452
Wayne, if you're not careful, you're going to lose me. I mean, it's just like,

23:40.533 --> 23:44.270
it's— she's so good. She's so good. It's great. She has this necklace on

23:44.302 --> 23:47.879
that just says Wayne on it. Man. Oh God.

23:48.056 --> 23:52.546
Funny. So now, now we go to— and, and They

23:53.046 --> 23:56.648
make mention of, we're going to be at this— she asked him,

23:56.664 --> 23:59.356
are you guys going to Gas Works tonight? They all go, no, like real fast.

23:59.516 --> 24:01.695
Yeah. But sure enough, they end up at the Gas Works. So they go to

24:02.195 --> 24:05.781
the club there, and this is the rock club, and, uh, Meatloaf is the,

24:05.941 --> 24:09.130
the bouncer, the doorman there. And Wayne asked him, oh, who's playing

24:09.630 --> 24:12.014
tonight? And he names these bands, and he's like, and the Shitty Beatles. And he

24:12.514 --> 24:16.020
goes, the Shitty Beatles, are they any good? He's like, no, they suck.

24:17.077 --> 24:20.137
So it's not just a clever name. That always made me laugh.

24:20.544 --> 24:23.381
The other band, by the way, the other band he mentions is the Jolly Green

24:23.430 --> 24:26.841
Giants, who we actually will see briefly later. And then he said, "And then right

24:27.341 --> 24:30.351
now finishing up is Crucial Taunt." Crucial Taunt. And that's Tia Carrere,

24:30.367 --> 24:33.651
Cassandra's band. Cassandra Wong, I believe, is her last

24:34.151 --> 24:36.925
name. And she is played by Tia Carrere. And this was, you know, when we

24:37.425 --> 24:40.315
did Total Recall, we talked about, you know, I know for myself, the stranglehold.

24:40.364 --> 24:42.758
True Lies. Oh, sorry, it was True Lies, not Total Recall. It's True Lies.

24:43.417 --> 24:46.579
The stranglehold this woman had on me in this era, in this sort of early

24:47.079 --> 24:50.521
'90s, She is stunning. She looks great in this. And I

24:51.021 --> 24:53.634
did a little research because I thought this was the case and verified. Yeah,

24:53.650 --> 24:57.517
she did all her own vocals. So she, all of the Crucial Taunt cover songs,

24:57.645 --> 25:01.785
that's her singing. And she would go on after this movie. Her first album

25:01.978 --> 25:05.652
came out a year after this movie came out. She has since won 2 Grammy

25:05.668 --> 25:09.503
Awards as a Hawaiian music artist. She has won twice, has won

25:09.856 --> 25:13.193
and has been nominated additional other times for Best Hawaiian Music Album at the Grammys.

25:13.402 --> 25:16.370
Damn. She is a multi-Grammy Award winning recording artist.

25:16.835 --> 25:20.044
And the first time in popular entertainment that she

25:20.544 --> 25:23.878
sang, this movie. Good for her. This movie, because her first album

25:24.378 --> 25:26.669
came out after this movie did. So it was part of what she did when

25:26.685 --> 25:29.750
she auditioned to get the role was sing. And I

25:30.055 --> 25:33.103
read somewhere it was like Linda Ronstadt or somebody, but she sang like in the

25:33.119 --> 25:36.151
auditions and they were like, oh, so you can do both.

25:36.632 --> 25:40.835
We won't have to hire some other singer to be the vocals of Cassandra.

25:40.900 --> 25:44.039
We could just use you. That's already, you know, I'm sure they were already interested

25:44.539 --> 25:46.596
in her for the part, but like that was like a cherry on top situation

25:47.096 --> 25:49.073
for her. Well, and it adds a ton to the movie and you can tell

25:49.169 --> 25:52.195
that it's her singing and it, and it really is because,

25:52.389 --> 25:55.991
you know, there's certain things in movies that they affect people different ways,

25:56.104 --> 25:58.818
but I tend to find that kind of thing really distracting.

25:59.810 --> 26:03.091
Yes. So yeah, it just, it helps. You can just relax and enjoy it.

26:03.156 --> 26:06.615
It is her singing. Yes. Yeah, she's good. She does well. Yeah, they do

26:07.115 --> 26:10.521
great. They do fantastic. Yeah, we'll get into later the whole concept of like,

26:10.621 --> 26:13.586
I have a metal band but we're just a cover band, but we're going to

26:14.086 --> 26:17.433
make it. That's an interesting thing that doesn't quite work, but that we can get

26:17.933 --> 26:21.553
to that later. We're a heavy metal band and we do golden

26:21.601 --> 26:25.704
earring covers, right? It's like,

26:26.570 --> 26:29.696
um, but her show's cool. And this is a good— this is kind of like

26:29.776 --> 26:33.383
the, um, the— a better version of the club from

26:33.415 --> 26:36.894
Singles. Yes. Where, uh, where they go to see Alice in

26:36.990 --> 26:40.132
Chains every night, right? So Soundgarden was there

26:40.632 --> 26:44.027
too. Um, yeah, so, and Wayne is trying to— he's trying

26:44.043 --> 26:46.874
to talk to Cassandra and and, you know, it was kind of messing it up.

26:46.955 --> 26:50.384
He's not— his lines aren't going over well, but she's— but she's not—

26:50.577 --> 26:53.443
she doesn't hate him, but she's just kind of like, whatever, guy. Yeah. But she—

26:53.491 --> 26:56.146
I do love when he turns to kind of really sees her for the first

26:56.646 --> 26:59.507
time after making the crowd. We get a play of Dreamweaver by Gary Wright comes

26:59.603 --> 27:05.199
over. I believe you can get me through the night. And it's

27:05.699 --> 27:07.643
like blurred and like sparkly or whatever. Okay. Like, and like, yeah, everything. So he's

27:08.143 --> 27:09.984
falling in love, but she's basically just like, you know, he's like, hey, can I

27:10.484 --> 27:12.809
call you? Which is like pretty forward, Good for him, just asking straight out.

27:12.873 --> 27:15.923
I like that. And she's just like, "If you've got $5, you can come to

27:16.423 --> 27:18.860
the rent party." 'Cause they're throwing a party at their loft to make rent,

27:18.909 --> 27:21.993
I guess is the idea, right? So $5 at the door. It's like tomorrow night,

27:22.009 --> 27:24.096
I think she says something like that. So he gets a flyer and at least

27:24.596 --> 27:27.266
now he knows, you know, she'll be able to like, or he'll be able to

27:27.766 --> 27:31.433
see her again or be some whatever. And so

27:32.790 --> 27:36.088
when Garth finally catches up to wake, 'cause Garth gets in this little like little

27:36.363 --> 27:39.644
tiff with another big guy. Oh yeah, some guy's like pushing him around. Yeah,

27:39.661 --> 27:41.417
you dweeb or whatever. And he goes to his car to get a stun gun,

27:43.370 --> 27:46.912
with like a belt and basically tases this guy and throws him across

27:46.960 --> 27:50.535
the room, which is a weird little sub-thing. They make Garth kinda like Data

27:51.035 --> 27:53.746
from The Goonies. A little bit, yeah. In this, you know? But like not for

27:54.246 --> 27:56.783
any good reason. And there's only one other moment where you really see it and

27:56.799 --> 28:00.221
it kinda doesn't work with Benjamin Stockham later. By the way though, he is wearing,

28:00.414 --> 28:02.390
I don't think he has the stun gun on, but when they go see Alice

28:02.890 --> 28:06.549
Cooper later in the movie, he's got that belt on with the little meter as

28:07.049 --> 28:09.176
a belt buckle. So I don't know what's going on there. But yeah, but so

28:09.192 --> 28:12.384
when Garth catches back up to Wayne Gasworks has chatted with him. He is when

28:12.884 --> 28:16.009
he says like, whoa, she's a Meg, she's a babe, and he's a— she's a

28:16.509 --> 28:19.313
robo babe, and he— she makes me feel kind of funny, like when we used

28:19.813 --> 28:22.682
to climb the rope in gym class. And the funny part is I never had

28:23.182 --> 28:25.633
to climb a rope in gym class, but I still got that joke. Yeah,

28:25.762 --> 28:28.825
just get a rope installed in your bedroom, you never

28:29.325 --> 28:32.723
have to leave. Um, one of the— one of the jokes in this

28:32.788 --> 28:36.012
movie that was definitely of the time that I appreciated is, uh,

28:36.397 --> 28:39.148
they're driving and there ends up being this this, you know, limo,

28:39.310 --> 28:43.007
fancy-looking Rolls-Royce-type limo next to them, and he has the

28:43.507 --> 28:45.333
guy roll his window down and does the "Part of Me, do you have any

28:45.365 --> 28:48.789
Grey Poupon?" joke to him. So, which they're

28:49.015 --> 28:51.451
right on the pulse. And it's funny watching this stuff where it's like, oh,

28:51.548 --> 28:54.097
that's dated. This is like, no, it's not. It was made for the people that

28:54.597 --> 28:57.339
were fucking alive and watching it then, and it worked perfectly. And I don't know

28:57.404 --> 29:00.817
how many times that joke had been done before this. The commercial was well

29:01.317 --> 29:02.958
known, but I don't know that it had really been lampooned all that much,

29:03.119 --> 29:05.839
right? Like, were people doing that to each other? And like, yeah.

29:06.658 --> 29:10.027
Um, so, so they go to this meeting now. They're meeting with Benj— or,

29:10.107 --> 29:13.621
uh, Benjamin and the TV guys are talking, right? So, so it's Benjamin,

29:13.974 --> 29:17.824
Rob Lowe, and they're pitching to, uh, Vanderhoff, played by Brian Doyle-Murray.

29:18.065 --> 29:21.546
And the other person there is the director, uh, Russell, who's played by Kurt Fuller,

29:21.915 --> 29:25.044
who I love. Kurt Fuller, he's so good. He's so much fun. He was,

29:25.108 --> 29:27.194
you know, and he's a bear, kind of a Northern Cal guy, grew up in

29:27.694 --> 29:30.033
the San Joaquin Valley, went to like SF State. Like, I mean, he's that kind

29:30.533 --> 29:33.748
of guy, but he's done So much stuff. I mean, Ghostbusters 2

29:33.764 --> 29:36.182
is one of the first things I remember him in. But like, the dude ended

29:36.682 --> 29:38.100
up— if you look at his IMDb, and I'm not going to go through it,

29:38.116 --> 29:42.047
but like every single, like, legal drama on TV,

29:42.063 --> 29:45.679
he has at least one episode in as an attorney. The dude just went around

29:46.179 --> 29:49.599
playing— like, he was on The Practice one episode opposite Laura Flynn Boyle, you know,

29:49.616 --> 29:52.835
and like things like he just played attorneys everywhere he went. But Kurt

29:53.335 --> 29:56.650
Fuller's fantastic. Better draw than playing bums and winos. Oh yeah, absolutely. Yeah. But he's

29:57.150 --> 29:59.442
a lot of fun and he's great in this because he's like, like he's not

29:59.587 --> 30:02.725
as conniving as Eric from Billy Madison,

30:02.757 --> 30:06.381
kind of. He's like the— or not Eric, the Carl character.

30:06.462 --> 30:09.438
Yeah, he's— yes, he's like the guy who's kind of on the good guy's side

30:09.471 --> 30:12.707
but he's working for the bad guys. He has to go along with the bad

30:13.207 --> 30:15.894
guy because it's his job, and he generally doesn't give a shit about the good

30:15.927 --> 30:19.618
guys to begin with, but then kind of comes around because he's not inherently

30:19.972 --> 30:22.918
bad, like, you know what I mean? Like, he's got some reasonableness to him,

30:23.417 --> 30:25.800
um, and he'll come around eventually. But I just love Kurt Fuller as an actor.

30:25.848 --> 30:29.121
I think he's fantastic. He says something in this meeting that killed me where they're—

30:29.297 --> 30:33.289
I think they're talking about the maybe the shows that they could run his commercial

30:33.305 --> 30:36.672
during or something like that. And he goes, um, uh,

30:37.458 --> 30:41.402
African American Digest. And then, uh, Brian DeLormeau, he's like, I never

30:41.902 --> 30:45.378
heard of that. And, uh, and Rob Lowe's like, it's on very late. And then

30:45.394 --> 30:48.777
Russell goes, it's actually won several awards. Several awards. Like, this is a really

30:48.857 --> 30:52.207
good show. It's so— it's so sincere. Like, it was just

30:52.707 --> 30:55.382
one of those little like jabs in the movie that I think was so well

30:55.510 --> 30:58.570
placed. And it's, and it's at, it's one of those places, right, where, yeah,

30:58.587 --> 31:01.801
it's, it's, it's at, uh, like, you know, here's the thing, here's who he's

31:01.850 --> 31:05.743
not. He's not Rob Riggle in Step Brothers. Like, he's not fully on board with

31:05.792 --> 31:08.347
the dickhead, you know what I mean? That's who Kurt Fuller is. Totally. That's the

31:08.847 --> 31:11.063
opposite of this, right? Um, but yeah, he's a lot of fun in this.

31:11.561 --> 31:14.165
Um, and so, yeah, so then the next morning we kind of cut to the

31:14.665 --> 31:17.893
next day and the Murphmobile is getting like smog checked or worked on or something,

31:17.909 --> 31:21.268
whatever it is, for $47. Phil is Phil,

31:21.364 --> 31:24.244
their, their drunk buddy from the night before, is the working at the body,

31:24.276 --> 31:28.280
the, the car shop, whatever. And, uh, Wayne is learning Cantonese and so He's

31:28.780 --> 31:31.352
like yelling, 'cause he's got the headphones on, he's yelling very loudly along with his

31:31.546 --> 31:34.909
training tapes and scaring Garth. But yeah, they end up like, Phil's like, "Hey,

31:34.925 --> 31:37.996
I got you guys, you know, a good deal. It's like $47.50 or whatever." And

31:38.496 --> 31:42.103
they're like, "Shiha, oh no." And they're pulling like individual dollar bills

31:42.216 --> 31:45.467
out and waiting for him to say, "No, that's not enough." Like, do the rap

31:45.967 --> 31:49.340
yourself, dude. But also Phil is telling them about this great band at

31:49.840 --> 31:52.229
Gas Works last night. "You guys should have been there. They were awesome." And Phil,

31:52.813 --> 31:56.596
we brought you there. That's how drunk Phil was. Nice. That's how blacked

31:57.096 --> 32:00.128
out Phil is. He can remember Tia Carrere's boobs, probably, is about all he can

32:00.628 --> 32:02.392
remember for the night. Doesn't remember how he got there, how he got home.

32:02.617 --> 32:04.881
He was like, there's this great band, it was just one chick, and they were

32:05.381 --> 32:08.895
playing Dreamweaver all night. I don't know how she did the drums

32:08.959 --> 32:12.764
and the guitar and the bass, but she wailed, man. Yeah, so Benjamin

32:12.828 --> 32:16.120
meets them at a place called Patio's, like a tiki bar. Yes. And so it's

32:16.264 --> 32:19.801
Wayne and Garth and Benjamin, and, uh, Benjamin's got got

32:19.897 --> 32:22.404
like a, probably like a vodka soda or something in front of him, and Wayne

32:22.904 --> 32:25.842
I think has a beer. And then Garth orders, you know, the, the cocktail for

32:25.858 --> 32:29.688
3. Dude, it's enormous, like a scorpion bowl, one of those. Yeah, one of those

32:30.206 --> 32:33.426
girls' night out, like, can we all finish this? Before it was illegal.

32:33.685 --> 32:36.274
I got a quick funny story about this. So I was in Miami on business

32:36.774 --> 32:39.836
a few years ago working for a sports website, and, uh, we all went out

32:40.336 --> 32:42.117
to dinner, and I was super excited because we're going to a Cuban restaurant,

32:42.133 --> 32:45.202
and I'd never been to like Miami and eat Cuban food down there. And so

32:45.702 --> 32:47.810
I was really looking forward to getting a Cubano sandwich. I'm a big fan.

32:47.940 --> 32:49.311
Well, we went for dinner, and I didn't realize that they didn't have those at

32:49.811 --> 32:53.134
dinner. I was lunch only. So I was kind of like disappointed.

32:53.182 --> 32:55.806
And like the waiter, I think, could tell, like, oh, you know, and I'm like,

32:55.839 --> 32:57.980
yeah, like, why don't you just, you know, get me like a Cuba Libre and

32:58.480 --> 33:00.733
I'll get like, you know, paella or something like whatever. And he goes, well,

33:00.749 --> 33:03.181
now do you want the small Cuba Libre? You want the big Cuba Libre?

33:03.246 --> 33:05.469
And I go, oh, well, sure, let's do the big. Like my company was paying,

33:05.485 --> 33:09.383
like whatever. Motherfucker did not tell me that big meant for 4.

33:09.915 --> 33:13.233
So an enormous like punch bowl with 4 straws in

33:13.733 --> 33:16.647
it of just rum, Coke, and lime come out to the table.

33:16.857 --> 33:19.635
And basically like, Like at that point everybody's looking at me and then you gotta

33:20.135 --> 33:22.444
realize like I'm here in the capacity as like a boss of several of the

33:22.944 --> 33:25.672
people that I'm with. Like my direct reports are with me. So you've gotta finish

33:26.172 --> 33:30.032
it otherwise you look weak. It's basically like, do I like, I can't offer this

33:30.532 --> 33:33.395
to anyone else. I can't share with anyone. This is like 2023. We're not sharing,

33:33.508 --> 33:35.901
you know what I mean? And so I end up drinking the whole thing.

33:36.014 --> 33:38.756
But like, you know, it was just like, you asshole, you should have told me

33:39.256 --> 33:41.238
this. It was like when you said big, I thought you meant like a pint

33:41.738 --> 33:45.330
glass versus like a little highball. You know what I mean? If the size difference

33:45.483 --> 33:49.315
is more than 50% bigger than the previous size, then you need to explain

33:49.815 --> 33:52.743
that it's like, yeah, I'm totally with you there. But I almost looked like Garth

33:53.243 --> 33:56.119
sitting at this table. Luckily it wasn't blue or like crazy like that, but good

33:56.151 --> 33:58.506
God. His drink is so damn funny here.

33:59.781 --> 34:03.314
Yeah, so Benjamin basically offers them like, we wanna sponsor your

34:03.814 --> 34:06.695
show, we wanna attach it to Noah's Arcade. Run it on our network. We're gonna

34:07.195 --> 34:09.523
give you $5,000 each. Yeah. Which is, you know,

34:09.667 --> 34:13.219
world-changing money to these guys. Clearly not nearly enough for

34:13.719 --> 34:15.282
what's actually being asked of them, but so much more money than they see.

34:16.992 --> 34:20.805
Which is Benjamin being a good executive. You find somebody who

34:20.837 --> 34:24.026
is desperate enough that a shitty amount of money will make them happy. Exactly.

34:24.266 --> 34:27.967
Um, so, so this is a funny thing here that Garth does is he— they,

34:28.689 --> 34:32.165
they give them the contract and the pen to sign it, and Garth like very

34:32.214 --> 34:35.867
purposefully nudges the pen off the table and then kind of like nods his

34:35.899 --> 34:39.200
head to the camera, motions down like, hey, follow me down here

34:39.264 --> 34:41.811
under the table, I get to talk to you. Like in mockumentary style. Yeah,

34:41.827 --> 34:44.679
I feel like there's an active camera crew there, you know, that he's interacting with.

34:45.134 --> 34:47.314
But he basically just like calls out what the— He's like, "I don't know if

34:47.814 --> 34:51.269
I like this." Yeah. "I don't feel great about this." "Okay, I gotta

34:51.769 --> 34:55.584
get back." And he's just like, it's very funny. And then he does something.

34:56.067 --> 34:58.531
He like pulls something out of the drink. It's like a breadstick or something.

34:58.580 --> 35:00.609
I can't tell what it is. It's something he's like kind of sucking on or

35:01.109 --> 35:04.718
chewing on or something. Yeah, there's always like crazy stuff in there. Yeah, Dana Carvey's

35:05.218 --> 35:08.092
doing a lot with his mouth in this scene, and I can't fully understand it,

35:08.415 --> 35:11.158
but I do know when Benjamin says, "I've got a check here,

35:11.304 --> 35:14.697
cashier's checks for each of you for $5,000 each." And

35:14.777 --> 35:18.823
that's when Wayne says, "Excuse me, baking powder?" And like, again, I literally still say

35:18.871 --> 35:22.002
that shit. And I'm almost always like, "I shouldn't have said that," when I say

35:22.018 --> 35:24.169
it. Like, it's just the thing that pops out of my mouth before I even

35:24.266 --> 35:27.364
thought of it. Yeah. But they're freaking out. And this is when,

35:27.541 --> 35:31.089
and then Garth, like, whatever he's eating or sucking off, I can't

35:31.589 --> 35:33.738
tell what he's doing with this little piece of food from the drink, but it

35:34.238 --> 35:36.981
like gets down his throat and it's like, and he slaps in the back and

35:37.481 --> 35:40.465
he spits it and it lands in the drink or whatever, in another drink.

35:40.963 --> 35:44.945
And that's— I love when he shoots, he scores. This is another great

35:44.961 --> 35:47.674
one. Oh God, so funny.

35:48.332 --> 35:51.078
Uh, so we're back with, uh, with Cassandra.

35:51.238 --> 35:54.466
Yeah, it's like the rent party she was talking about right before. And Wayne's chatting

35:54.530 --> 35:58.239
with, with her, and, uh, she mentions that she learned,

35:58.447 --> 36:02.654
um, she learned English from the Police Academy movies.

36:03.746 --> 36:06.844
I would have loved for her to do like 10 seconds of Winslow there.

36:07.053 --> 36:09.365
Just get like, hit me with some sound effects.

36:09.927 --> 36:12.718
She does all her own sound effects in this movie. So a couple of things

36:12.750 --> 36:17.226
about this loft, man. This loft is enormous. Again, lofts unrealistic

36:17.242 --> 36:20.435
in all these. Her place is almost bigger than the Gas

36:20.935 --> 36:23.660
Works. Yeah, they were almost— I don't know if we're supposed to believe that the

36:24.160 --> 36:26.451
whole band lives here or if this is just her place, because if it's just

36:26.951 --> 36:30.334
hers, it's huge for one person. But also, we don't— later we don't see the

36:30.834 --> 36:34.168
band there without being there to play with her. So it does seem like it's

36:34.668 --> 36:37.994
her place, which is crazy. We get another Dreamweaver callback when Wayne—

36:38.059 --> 36:40.872
And then there's a thing in here that I love, which is, you know,

36:40.969 --> 36:43.960
they arrived by dancing out of the car. We got $5,000.

36:44.840 --> 36:47.818
Yes. We got $5,000. So they've obviously told the crew about the news.

36:48.253 --> 36:52.149
And Terry goes up to Wayne and is like, "I love you, man." And

36:52.649 --> 36:54.193
he's like, "I love you too, Terry." "No, no, no, no, I love you,

36:54.209 --> 36:56.476
man." And all Terry wants is a thank you. Yeah. 'Cause when he does it

36:56.976 --> 36:59.233
to Garth, he says, "I love you, man." And Garth says, "Thank you." That's like

36:59.733 --> 37:03.521
the end of it. Terry is such a wonderful positive masculinity

37:03.867 --> 37:07.117
example. I really love Terry in this movie. And it's not a

37:07.617 --> 37:09.281
way that I thought about this, you know, the last time I saw it,

37:09.297 --> 37:11.974
maybe 5 or 10 years ago. Yeah. Looking at it now, it's like the guy

37:12.022 --> 37:15.036
can just tell his buddies he loves them. Like, that's awesome. Yeah.

37:15.164 --> 37:19.092
More of that shit. The whole crew honestly is great.

37:19.300 --> 37:22.570
I love all those guys. It works well. They don't give him a ton to

37:22.586 --> 37:26.033
do, but they all, they all serve their purpose

37:26.533 --> 37:29.976
well. I love Michael DeLuise. He's one of the, one of the

37:30.040 --> 37:33.663
crew members, and he was the kind of bad guy in Encino

37:34.163 --> 37:37.190
Man. Yes. Yeah, the rich kid or whatever. Yeah. Like, yeah, yeah. And he,

37:37.254 --> 37:40.318
he has not been in that that much. And I think that guy is so

37:40.719 --> 37:44.281
fucking funny. I'm like really disappointed he's not in a lot

37:44.410 --> 37:47.924
more, but I love that he's in this and he's just perfect. When he hits

37:48.424 --> 37:51.390
on Van Der Hoff's wife later, it's fucking brilliant. It's so good.

37:53.059 --> 37:56.043
Um, so Wayne had been learning Cantonese, right?

37:56.428 --> 38:00.376
And he's starting to have a conversation with Cassandra. So Cassandra

38:00.876 --> 38:03.906
says she learned English from Police Academy, and then Wayne just says something to her

38:04.406 --> 38:07.163
in Cantonese like, you look very beautiful, just like Oh my God, you said this

38:07.275 --> 38:11.412
to me. Yeah. And they get into this crazy vocabulary,

38:11.589 --> 38:15.229
you know, as their conversation goes in and there's subtitles. One of the things Wayne—

38:15.614 --> 38:19.110
he's talking about his ex-girlfriend who's like sitting behind them trying to make them jealous.

38:19.206 --> 38:22.478
Yes. And he's like, the irony is

38:22.574 --> 38:26.423
I feel partly responsible for her self-nullifying behavior. Like, they're just going through

38:26.923 --> 38:31.170
all this stuff. Yes. All these great subtitle tropes where he talks out

38:31.670 --> 38:35.104
loud for you know, 3 seconds and then 30 seconds of

38:35.604 --> 38:38.797
subtitles show up and then the opposite. And they, they really hit

38:39.297 --> 38:42.700
it from every angle. I don't think in previous viewings of this movie I really

38:42.812 --> 38:46.024
understood the— I understood the joke of he said a little and then the

38:46.524 --> 38:49.027
text was long. That was a joke I kind of got, right? But the whole—

38:49.380 --> 38:52.736
the vocabulary ramp-up and self-nullifying behavior,

38:52.768 --> 38:56.558
it's like, not just vocabulary-wise, but like, to like be able to

38:57.058 --> 39:00.332
say a concept like that out loud in another language, it's like such advanced

39:00.832 --> 39:03.164
understanding of that language, whatever it is. Is I didn't really get that joke until

39:03.664 --> 39:06.455
this time and I laughed my fucking ass off when that happened. The other thing

39:06.504 --> 39:10.210
is another thing that I absolutely still say, I mean, God, I can't,

39:10.436 --> 39:13.897
honestly once a month this comes outta my mouth in perfectly like reasonable

39:13.930 --> 39:16.566
time to say it. And if a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump its ass

39:16.598 --> 39:19.812
when it hopped. I say that all the time to mean, yes, if the

39:20.312 --> 39:22.405
thing were different, the thing would be different. Like when people say, well, what about

39:22.905 --> 39:24.257
this? Yeah, yeah, if a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump its ass when it

39:24.757 --> 39:27.075
hopped. I say that all the time and I don't know if I'm being culturally

39:27.575 --> 39:30.079
insensitive. Like I don't know if I've like taken on some, you know, like,

39:30.144 --> 39:32.565
their culture is not my costume, or some shit like— I don't know, but I

39:32.629 --> 39:35.580
fucking say that all the time because it's in this movie, and it got ingrained

39:36.080 --> 39:39.861
in my head when I was 12 as like, that's the canonical example of,

39:39.989 --> 39:43.036
yeah, if the thing were different, it'd be different. Yeah, you know, but it's like,

39:43.196 --> 39:46.275
Wayne's World is your culture at this point,

39:46.323 --> 39:49.530
so it's true, it could— it's that culture, but it's your culture too.

39:49.627 --> 39:51.086
Fair enough. Um,

39:53.299 --> 39:57.186
okay, so we've got Wayne and Garth, uh, laying the

39:57.686 --> 40:01.099
hood of the car, the birthmobile, yep, by the airport, like laying there looking

40:01.131 --> 40:04.690
at the sky, talking, waiting for the planes to drive over, and kind

40:05.190 --> 40:08.501
of, you know, what are your hopes and dreams? And Garth, Garth is like singing

40:08.533 --> 40:11.860
the Star Trek theme song, whistling it. He's like, uh,

40:11.924 --> 40:15.567
sometimes I wish I could boldly go where no man has gone before, but I'll

40:16.067 --> 40:19.538
probably just stay in Aurora. Yeah. And they talk about Cassandra and how much

40:20.038 --> 40:23.235
of a babe she is, and Wayne's like, if she were— if this

40:23.735 --> 40:26.319
were— if it was in Latin, she would be Babia Majora, which I definitely didn't

40:26.819 --> 40:29.708
I didn't fully get that joke at 12, that's for sure. And then I think

40:29.756 --> 40:33.695
Garth calls her Babe-raham Lincoln. It's just like fun stuff. Then the airplane

40:33.727 --> 40:37.216
flyover and it's like, I would do that. I would kind of want to do

40:37.716 --> 40:39.626
that. I've never, I don't know where I could do that near us. I know.

40:39.691 --> 40:42.085
If there's any place like near Asheville or Cleveland. Well, there's a very small airport

40:42.585 --> 40:44.220
up the street. That's true. I don't think you'll get the same effect. Yeah,

40:44.236 --> 40:47.829
I want like a 737 to like fly, you know, several hundred feet above

40:47.861 --> 40:52.031
me and that's it, you know, like, but yeah. So we're

40:52.531 --> 40:54.829
in the new studio. They're kind of getting a tour, like here's your new studio

40:54.878 --> 40:56.183
and it's freaking them out 'cause they're like, you've set up Wayne's exact base.

40:58.202 --> 41:01.720
Basement in this giant studio building. You know, Wayne's mom's

41:01.736 --> 41:05.271
basement, right? I think it's like Wayne's parents' house basement. It's there. And you

41:05.771 --> 41:08.902
have all this camera equipment and everything, and Russell is trying to take the crew

41:08.982 --> 41:12.388
through the concept of counting down. Oh yeah, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,

41:12.501 --> 41:15.923
but you don't say 2 and 1. So it's 5, 4, 3, beat,

41:16.036 --> 41:19.346
beat, you know. And these guys not getting it is so funny. And one

41:19.846 --> 41:22.206
of the guys, after he first does it, he's like, he didn't say 2 or

41:22.706 --> 41:25.885
1. And they're just having so much trouble. The funny part about it is

41:25.901 --> 41:27.483
they ask him, they ask Russell why, and he says, it's just how we do

41:27.983 --> 41:31.473
it. It's like, dude, there's a really simple explanation for why you roll sound before

41:31.973 --> 41:34.362
you roll video. So you don't want to hear the 2 and the 1 because

41:34.378 --> 41:37.912
the sound is rolling. Like, it's not even— there's a good reason for it.

41:38.025 --> 41:40.878
It's not like, well, we just do this because it's, it's TV and we're fancy.

41:40.926 --> 41:44.307
Like, no, like, you say 2 and 1, it'll get caught on the transmission.

41:44.371 --> 41:47.768
Like, don't do that. It's— anyway, but yes, so they're showing him and they go

41:48.268 --> 41:50.332
down, they're gonna practice with this new blue screen. Yeah, because he says we got

41:50.832 --> 41:53.367
this thing called chroma key, which is funny, that is actually the official— that's actually

41:53.399 --> 41:56.627
the technology, right, is chroma key. And so it's like, so cool, we can

41:57.127 --> 41:59.386
do all this stuff, we can go to New York. Hey, Hey, let's get a

41:59.402 --> 42:01.523
gun and go to a Broadway show. Or like, whatever, like all this kind of

42:02.023 --> 42:03.822
stuff. And then the classic of course is, you know, they go to Hawaii,

42:03.854 --> 42:07.253
they go to whatever. And then, or imagine being whisked away to magical, and then

42:07.753 --> 42:10.103
what pops up behind them? Delaware. Hi,

42:11.420 --> 42:13.991
I'm in Delaware. So good.

42:14.474 --> 42:17.673
That's a thing. I mean, that will never be uncoupled

42:17.689 --> 42:21.365
from Delaware in my mind. Yes. We can have a president from

42:21.429 --> 42:24.009
Delaware. I don't give a shit. I never think of that guy's name. I think

42:24.509 --> 42:28.357
about Wayne's World. So, so Noah and

42:28.857 --> 42:31.851
his wife are visiting the studio, right? This is what you're paying for. This is

42:31.947 --> 42:34.816
what you're gonna— your brand is gonna be attached to where the magic happens.

42:35.073 --> 42:38.231
Yeah. And, and Wayne, uh, when he meets Noah,

42:38.455 --> 42:41.404
he's introduced and he does the, uh, as Sphincter says, what,

42:42.206 --> 42:45.620
what, you know, hey, Sphincter says what, what,

42:45.988 --> 42:48.553
exactly, precisely, or whatever. Yeah, exactly.

42:49.098 --> 42:51.855
Uh, and this is where, yeah, I don't remember the, the character's name, but,

42:51.983 --> 42:54.612
uh, but the one of the crew is sort of like like hitting on,

42:54.948 --> 42:58.090
uh, uh, uh, Vanderhoff's wife. Yes. And,

42:58.235 --> 43:01.168
and, you know, he comes up and he's like, it's big camera or whatever.

43:01.216 --> 43:04.086
And she's like, whoa. Yeah. And he goes, do I scare you?

43:04.391 --> 43:08.126
He's like, do you want me to? I'm just like, like,

43:08.254 --> 43:11.701
I— to me, that straddles the line between like, eh, a little gross,

43:11.781 --> 43:14.618
but like honestly kind of baller. Like, I don't know, that's a funky one.

43:14.682 --> 43:18.386
Like, you know, uh, but she's, she's, uh, clearly interested because as they go

43:18.886 --> 43:21.847
to leave the Vanderhoff Vanderhoff's, he goes back and goes, "May I say, your wife's

43:22.347 --> 43:25.245
a babe." And she's like, clearly quite pleased. You know, 'cause like, this is the

43:25.309 --> 43:29.063
thing, they gave Vanderhoff clearly a wife who's like kind of a trophy wife

43:29.242 --> 43:31.986
person, but she's also like age appropriate. So she's a little older like he is,

43:32.343 --> 43:35.840
maybe in her 40s. And so having this like 20-something guy, you know,

43:35.856 --> 43:39.189
hitting on her is very like, "Oh, it's like, she's very happy about that." I

43:39.689 --> 43:40.855
do declare. Right, exactly.

43:43.621 --> 43:47.499
Okay, so Wayne and Cassandra

43:47.999 --> 43:51.547
are kind of, chatting about stuff. Well, Wayne and Garth are doing a little

43:52.047 --> 43:55.497
street hockey. Oh, that's right. There's another scene again, came up so much

43:55.578 --> 43:59.259
in the game. Game on, car, oh. All the time. We got to bring

43:59.307 --> 44:02.295
the net back to the sidewalk. Game on, bring it back out to the street.

44:02.359 --> 44:05.589
But yeah, that's— I mean, that's very relatable. It wasn't street hockey as much for

44:05.637 --> 44:08.111
us, I think, but like playing, like throwing the football around in the street,

44:08.127 --> 44:10.522
we would do that. And then, but here's the thing that I mentioned earlier,

44:10.538 --> 44:14.073
geography issues, right? And this is what I'm talking about. So Garth wakes up and

44:14.573 --> 44:17.217
his dog who looks exactly like Tina Turner is telling him that Wayne is here.

44:17.268 --> 44:20.483
So he gets up and he goes outside. He's got the mask and everything,

44:20.499 --> 44:24.202
the pads, and he's got a stick. But isn't that Wayne's house he comes out

44:24.702 --> 44:26.734
of that the truck had been parked in front of? I couldn't tell because,

44:26.831 --> 44:30.133
yeah, the, his, the Mirthmobile was parked in the driveway in

44:30.633 --> 44:33.259
the background. Yeah, on the other side of the street. And so it's hard for

44:33.759 --> 44:37.330
me to tell, like, I guess both houses just look very similar. And if that's

44:37.830 --> 44:41.097
true, then it is Wayne's car. Yeah. Because the Mirthmobile was parked in the driveway

44:41.113 --> 44:43.454
of the other house, but it really looked like Garth came out of Wayne's house.

44:43.518 --> 44:46.163
I got so confused for a minute, and I'm sure this is me, me just

44:46.663 --> 44:48.471
paying way too much attention to shit that doesn't matter in this movie, but it

44:48.971 --> 44:52.751
just confused me. I picture you with like a gigantic relief map, like moving different

44:52.815 --> 44:56.246
pieces around, trying to figure out— I'm in the basement of Pee-wee's Big Adventure

44:56.746 --> 45:00.269
and I got the whole map of the town up, got everybody marked, like got

45:00.769 --> 45:03.539
37 pieces of evidence. Um, uh, so,

45:03.972 --> 45:07.499
so we end up back in the, uh, so Wayne and Cassandra are

45:07.563 --> 45:10.977
kind of hanging out and talking in the car. Just a funny line from Wayne

45:11.089 --> 45:14.536
where he says, uh, I thought I had mono once for 6 months, it just

45:15.036 --> 45:18.769
turned out I was really bored. Um, he has the sweet Discman with

45:19.269 --> 45:22.460
the aux input setup. Yeah, probably Velcroed onto the, uh, onto the

45:22.960 --> 45:26.569
dash. Been there, done that, man. Remember when, uh, 10-second anti-skip

45:26.633 --> 45:30.099
became the standard? Because when you had the no anti-skip

45:30.599 --> 45:33.710
one, it was like, you better be driving like in the water.

45:33.870 --> 45:37.706
Like, it's gonna skip no matter what. And then when you had that 10-second

45:38.206 --> 45:41.349
buffer, you're like— it really made a huge difference. Although it would be funny because

45:41.849 --> 45:43.980
it would be like either this track— I can't remember exactly how— when I think

45:44.480 --> 45:48.182
the track track would start normally, but the anti-skip doesn't kick

45:48.682 --> 45:50.933
in for the first 10 seconds, right? Because then it's because I have to get

45:51.433 --> 45:54.141
ahead of it or whatever. But yeah, it was a nightmare. Like, and Cassandra,

45:54.157 --> 45:56.899
very impressed by it. Very impressed. That's what I love is for her to see

45:56.979 --> 46:00.124
this thing like, whoa, hey, hey, 1992,

46:00.140 --> 46:03.712
man. That was no joke. But they go to the music store. They go back

46:04.212 --> 46:07.123
to the music store. Garth is also there, but didn't come with them. So I'm

46:07.623 --> 46:10.759
not quite sure how Garth got there, but that's okay. And so he, Wayne,

46:11.192 --> 46:14.947
goes up to Excalibur, the Fender Stratocaster in the locked

46:14.963 --> 46:18.092
case, and he wants to see it. And I love, he plays a couple of

46:18.592 --> 46:20.563
riffs here. The first one is the, can I help you riff? Yeah, I love

46:21.063 --> 46:24.414
that part. Can I help you? Like, yes,

46:24.430 --> 46:26.917
my good man. I would like to take a look at the Fender Stratocaster,

46:26.981 --> 46:30.446
please. And so he takes it out and he starts

46:30.946 --> 46:34.121
to play. And this is funny. I don't know the version you watched. Did it

46:34.621 --> 46:37.346
actually sound like Stairway to Heaven? Because the version I think it did, but there

46:37.846 --> 46:40.429
have been versions of this where it doesn't sound anything like Stairway Really? Yeah,

46:40.445 --> 46:43.449
because they lost like the rights to do it because it was a performance.

46:43.498 --> 46:46.632
There was something weird about it where like the latest

46:46.664 --> 46:49.796
stream— later streaming versions, it's just some little notes.

46:49.893 --> 46:52.553
It's not Stairway to Heaven. No way. And it has something to do with rights

46:53.053 --> 46:56.036
and I couldn't dig into all the— Do we get Mandela affected with Wayne's World?

46:56.100 --> 46:59.747
There's— there was definitely a reconstruction of this. Baron Stain, Bear Way

47:00.247 --> 47:02.844
to Heaven. Jesus. I remember if it was the something just about it being on

47:02.876 --> 47:05.587
home video or there was something about it where it was like only because of

47:05.619 --> 47:08.275
the theater you could do it. It was something weird. That's so off-putting when it

47:08.775 --> 47:11.969
happens. Like if you're familiar with something and then the sound is different. Yeah,

47:11.986 --> 47:15.700
the one I watched was, uh, was Stairway to Heaven. Okay, great joke,

47:15.781 --> 47:18.591
you know, good classic, classic rock joke, you know.

47:18.753 --> 47:21.933
Yeah, no stairway, denied. And then, and then Garth, uh,

47:22.303 --> 47:25.461
gets behind the drum set. There's never been an actor that

47:25.961 --> 47:28.183
knows how to drum that we don't know about. That's my theory.

47:29.212 --> 47:32.561
They all let us know. Every single one definitely lets us know, right?

47:32.754 --> 47:36.055
Dana Carvey, like, you're getting behind

47:36.555 --> 47:39.220
the set. Uh, but yeah, so he does it, then he finishes it with the,

47:39.350 --> 47:41.265
uh, I like to play, I like to play. Good Garth line.

47:43.868 --> 47:47.383
Um, oh man. So yeah, so, uh, Benjamin and

47:47.480 --> 47:51.188
Wayne are kind of talking about like the changes required to the show because

47:51.688 --> 47:54.768
of their new sponsorship. So it's like, oh, you're selling out, you can't do things

47:54.816 --> 47:57.400
the way that you always did them. That's right. And then I think we get—

47:57.529 --> 48:00.306
this is probably the funniest part, maybe the most I laughed in the movie.

48:00.482 --> 48:03.757
It's so good. Among a strong field, but very strong scene, very,

48:03.773 --> 48:07.128
very easy, uh, to pull out of it, I think. And actually,

48:07.385 --> 48:11.349
for some reason, I've seen this scene, uh, on like TikTok and Instagram in recent

48:11.397 --> 48:14.396
years, like it's kind of begun to live on its own, but the product placement

48:14.896 --> 48:17.892
scene, right? So they're at the craft services table and it's already laden with like

48:18.392 --> 48:21.756
name brand products, but they really let you see that like Wayne's got a Pizza

48:22.256 --> 48:25.749
Hut pizza and he's got Doritos and he's like holding the bag up while he

48:25.829 --> 48:28.731
eats it, talking about how selling out, you know, stuff, whatever.

48:28.956 --> 48:32.163
Contractor, no, I will not bow to any sponsor. And then takes a

48:32.663 --> 48:35.225
giant bag of Doritos right in front of his face. Big label right in the

48:35.725 --> 48:39.227
scene. And then Garth is head to toe in Reeboks. Rock from the shoes

48:39.259 --> 48:43.203
to the pants to the shirt. He looks

48:43.703 --> 48:47.583
like one of Allen Iverson's, like, uh, entourage members. It's such a great

48:47.680 --> 48:50.117
look. I want that whole fit. I thought it looked so good. He looks like

48:50.617 --> 48:53.861
a NASCAR driver, he's so done up in this. It's really wild all over

48:53.910 --> 48:56.993
the place. I do wish that he had pumps that he had pumped up.

48:57.219 --> 49:01.179
Oh yeah, that scene. Well, it's funny because his hat was, was a Pump logo

49:01.679 --> 49:03.685
on it, but he didn't pump. I think they wore— I'd love a Pump hat

49:04.185 --> 49:06.676
that I pump so it would, like, stay on tighter. But you're going on a

49:07.176 --> 49:08.080
boat, just there you go. Um, and then of course we get the, the one

49:10.000 --> 49:12.207
that— well, there's Pepsi as well, but then we get the one brand that doesn't

49:12.707 --> 49:15.896
still exist from this, which is NuPrint, right? Little yellow, different. Yeah.

49:15.992 --> 49:19.555
And I don't— I never took NuPrint. I only know of NuPrint from the movie,

49:20.331 --> 49:22.545
from the TV, and I don't know if it's one of those that it's like,

49:22.675 --> 49:24.954
oh, we found a better way to treat that, or if it's like, oh,

49:24.970 --> 49:28.171
that's what they used to call fentanyl. Yeah. You know where like you learn about

49:28.671 --> 49:31.695
something where you're like, oh, this was sold over the counter, and like, remember those

49:31.727 --> 49:35.264
diet pills? Like, no, I don't. Oh, well, they— people died. So yeah,

49:35.344 --> 49:38.250
NuPrint fucking killed people. Like, I don't know, it's possible. Um,

49:38.735 --> 49:42.374
uh, so really funny scene, really goofy shit. And again, like, this is

49:42.874 --> 49:46.563
such a playful movie, and, and that part is just— I, I love it because,

49:46.595 --> 49:49.668
like, it doesn't lose the SNL anything can happen element. Yeah,

49:49.911 --> 49:53.534
exactly. And, and so, yes, then we go back to Stan Mikita's Donuts,

49:53.615 --> 49:57.069
and Cassandra's there hanging out with the guys, and they're talking. Garth has been

49:57.246 --> 50:00.821
eyeing this woman we just call— he just calls Dream Woman. Uh, but it's Donna

50:01.321 --> 50:03.864
Dixon. She's great at, you know, great actress, very fun. She's in, like, Spies Like

50:04.364 --> 50:06.200
Us and a bunch of other stuff. She's really great and, um, beautiful. And so

50:06.700 --> 50:09.629
he's, like, staring at her, and they're Why don't you just go talk to her?

50:09.983 --> 50:12.674
And we get a little dream sequence, like a little daydream where Garth goes to

50:13.174 --> 50:16.734
the jukebox and turns it on and Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix comes

50:16.750 --> 50:20.110
on. He basically does this like his dance, thrusting dance. Oh man, because the

50:20.158 --> 50:23.312
beginning of it, it's such like a goofy cute little thing where

50:23.812 --> 50:27.599
he's like doing the ears and then it's like 45 seconds of just air humping.

50:28.426 --> 50:31.960
All mine, all mine. That's good

50:32.460 --> 50:37.135
shit. Um, and then we got to, uh, Cassandra— back to Cassandra's Wayne

50:37.313 --> 50:40.774
is there. Again, the mullet and

50:40.887 --> 50:43.782
the out of shapeness and the tighty whities. Without the hat. It's so terrible.

50:43.863 --> 50:46.932
Yeah, it's really amazing. How is it with her? You know, again, good for Mike

50:46.948 --> 50:50.942
Myers. It's his movie, so okay. But you know, they're sort of playing around

50:51.007 --> 50:54.524
kind of in bed and then she gets a call from Benjamin about, or no,

50:54.589 --> 50:58.710
from her drummer Anthony. And he's like, I can't make the

50:59.210 --> 51:02.478
like whatever rehearsal or the studio, I don't know, the video shoot, whatever. He can't

51:02.978 --> 51:04.426
make something. She's like, dude, this is bullshit. Like you gotta be there. But he's

51:04.443 --> 51:07.558
the whole time, Wayne is like pulled his tighty whities he's

51:08.058 --> 51:10.684
up his butt crack and is like doing little things, putting on her bra over

51:11.184 --> 51:14.242
his shirt and doing the like Marilyn Monroe. Yeah, Happy Birthday Mr. President thing,

51:14.338 --> 51:17.897
and like making her laugh, whatever. It is really funny to fuck with somebody

51:17.945 --> 51:21.552
who's on a serious phone call, a serious but like a

51:21.648 --> 51:24.902
business serious phone call, not a death in the family serious phone

51:24.999 --> 51:28.798
call. But it is really funny to do that while somebody's on a call like

51:28.846 --> 51:32.501
that. So I love Wayne for that. Okay, okay. I, I, I,

51:33.575 --> 51:36.861
I hate talking on the phone, and I generally hate having

51:36.957 --> 51:40.876
to like dedicate my attention to the phone call. So if I'm then being distracted,

51:41.229 --> 51:43.752
like I don't react well to that. Like that is definitely a thing that I'm

51:44.252 --> 51:46.757
just like, could you just fucking give me a second? Okay, don't dance around in

51:47.257 --> 51:50.488
front of Steve's window when he's on a business call. Thankfully, you know, Zoom calls

51:50.988 --> 51:52.727
are different. I kind of have to be front and center on that so I

51:53.227 --> 51:56.092
can just, you know, ignore. But yeah, anyway. But yeah, so they play around and

51:56.592 --> 51:59.246
then this is when we get, I think the first of several times that a

51:59.471 --> 52:02.993
piece of text flashes on the screen and Wayne reacts to it. Yes. Which is

52:03.250 --> 52:06.305
that, you know, she calls him an asshole, but playfully he jumps onto her.

52:06.730 --> 52:09.461
You know, and then it flashes gratuitous sex scene. He turns on, goes,

52:10.040 --> 52:13.671
excellent. Good way to do

52:13.687 --> 52:17.113
that. And, and a funny joke. Uh, so now they

52:17.194 --> 52:19.620
end up invited up to Benjamin's very, uh,

52:19.636 --> 52:23.567
well-appointed, uh, penthouse. I don't know, it's the top floor, maybe not,

52:23.664 --> 52:26.816
but high up. Yeah, it's a huge apartment, great view and

52:27.316 --> 52:30.592
everything. They're like, oh, this has a terrace, you know. Yeah, yeah. Uh, Cassandra says

52:30.624 --> 52:34.254
something about, oh, it feels so free to live up here. And Benjamin's like,

52:34.319 --> 52:36.288
well, it costs a lot of money. Like, he's— everything he's saying is, is shitty,

52:36.390 --> 52:40.457
right? So brings out, uh, I don't

52:40.957 --> 52:44.485
know if what he brings out is champagne. He says Dom Pérignon, which is definitely

52:44.985 --> 52:47.105
champagne. And then is it Wayne who says like, oh, I've had this? Well,

52:47.154 --> 52:50.550
no, talking about the distinction. Yeah, Cassandra's like, I don't think I've ever had French

52:51.050 --> 52:53.283
champagne before. And he goes, oh, actually all champagne is French, it's named after the

52:53.783 --> 52:56.501
region, which is not incorrect. But he is wrong about the next thing he says.

52:56.760 --> 53:00.074
Okay. Which is that, you know, Americans got used to calling all their sparkling— but

53:00.155 --> 53:02.579
otherwise it's sparkling white wine. Here's the problem, bro.

53:03.711 --> 53:07.009
It is not sparkling white wine. Most of champagne is made with red wine grapes.

53:07.827 --> 53:11.049
Because most champagne is a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier,

53:11.129 --> 53:14.496
and Chardonnay. If you have a purely sparkling white wine, it's called a Blanc

53:14.996 --> 53:17.863
de Blancs, which Dom Pérignon does not make, like, or at least that Moët Chandon

53:18.363 --> 53:20.957
does not make as a Dom Pérignon. So they'll make a Blanc de Noirs and

53:21.457 --> 53:24.564
they'll make a Brut, which is a blend. But either way, there's definitely red wine

53:24.740 --> 53:27.882
in the sparkling wine. So I had an issue with

53:28.382 --> 53:30.880
that obviously, and I will take that to the grave. So much better than what

53:31.380 --> 53:34.375
my question was for you. I wrote down, Sommelier corner.

53:36.780 --> 53:40.869
So if somebody, if somebody drops a champagne where

53:41.369 --> 53:44.846
they should be saying sparkling wine, yeah, yeah, how much

53:44.942 --> 53:48.133
of an urge do you feel to like chime in? Hell no, that's just— you

53:48.405 --> 53:51.067
let it— I absolutely want to get into this. Doesn't matter.

53:51.372 --> 53:55.140
Yeah, it's one of those things where, look, if you, if you are talking about

53:55.204 --> 53:58.988
a sparkling wine from another country where that country has a way they refer

53:59.488 --> 54:00.901
to their sparkling wine and you call it champagne, like if you're talking you're talking

54:01.029 --> 54:04.863
about Cava from Spain or Prosecco from Italy and you're calling it champagne, I would

54:04.879 --> 54:07.778
probably offer a correction. Be like, "Hey, you know what? Actually from Barcelona, they call

54:08.278 --> 54:10.289
it Cava. It's still a sparkling wine, but they call it Cava." And then,

54:10.418 --> 54:13.370
"Oh, if you're in Italy, you know, that's Prosecco or that's, you know, Spumante or

54:13.870 --> 54:16.435
that's something else depending on what it is." If you're talking about an Ameri— like

54:16.935 --> 54:20.412
a California champ— like they call this méthode champenoise. So it's basically saying

54:20.912 --> 54:23.679
like, "We made this in the same method that they make champagne in," right?

54:23.776 --> 54:26.250
And they won't put the word champagne on the bottle 'cause that's an agreement between

54:26.282 --> 54:28.969
winemakers in France and winemakers in the United States. They won't do it anymore.

54:29.350 --> 54:32.761
Used to, but like since the mid-'90s, there's been an agreement.

54:32.939 --> 54:36.431
We won't use place names that don't apply anymore, but they

54:36.480 --> 54:39.713
will still say "Méthode Champenoise" on the bottle. And it's like,

54:39.972 --> 54:43.612
if a regular person called that champagne, I would never correct them. Okay. 'Cause it's

54:44.112 --> 54:46.784
fucking a dick move. So you're saying that there are regular people and there are

54:47.284 --> 54:50.863
superior people who are you? But I'm just saying like, you know, if it's something

54:51.363 --> 54:52.731
where it's like, oh no, this is an Italian Prosecco and you call it a

54:53.231 --> 54:55.951
champagne, I would probably let you know, actually that's Prosecco, because it's a whole different

54:56.451 --> 54:59.105
thing. No, that makes perfect sense. I just know that like in certain fields,

54:59.172 --> 55:02.120
there's things that people say where you're like, I can't fucking stand,

55:02.136 --> 55:05.245
I can never let that go. So I didn't know if this is like the

55:05.745 --> 55:08.546
one thing— probably is for some people, it probably is for some people. And I

55:09.046 --> 55:12.152
think certainly it's probably a bigger deal if you are in the wine industry and

55:12.652 --> 55:15.565
you are French. You probably care a hell of a lot more about champagne being

55:16.078 --> 55:19.459
called correctly than like I would. That's very true. Yeah,

55:19.988 --> 55:23.049
awesome. Well, thank you for that information. Yeah. Um,

55:23.209 --> 55:26.803
so, and this is good Benjamin being kind of,

55:26.819 --> 55:29.838
like, just, "Meh," about this stuff. And then Garth,

55:30.512 --> 55:33.917
again, motions for the camera. He's like, "Come here. Come here."

55:34.206 --> 55:37.820
And he takes the camera around the apartment, and he's just, "Something doesn't

55:38.320 --> 55:41.321
feel right about this. I don't like this." And he reaches for this stack of

55:41.353 --> 55:44.196
books, and every book is called, like, "How to Pick Up Chicks," "How to Get

55:44.228 --> 55:47.456
With Everything." And I love that Garth's response is, "He's smooth."

55:47.537 --> 55:50.813
No, this is proof that he's not. Garth picks

55:51.313 --> 55:55.430
up his plan, dinner, and it says, uh, Thursday, daily reminder: purchase

55:55.558 --> 55:59.261
feeble public access cable show and exploit it. And Garth goes, wow,

55:59.790 --> 56:03.492
I feel sorry for whoever that is. Oh man,

56:03.716 --> 56:06.697
he's so on top of it and then so not at the same time.

56:06.761 --> 56:10.127
He ends up like sneaking in, looking through a drawer and finding condoms that

56:10.627 --> 56:13.316
are— yes, ribbed for her pleasure. And then his response is,

56:13.893 --> 56:17.435
ew. And I'm like, really? Like, I get that Garth is a little bit

56:17.935 --> 56:20.929
of like an infantilized character, but still, like, ew is the response?

56:21.010 --> 56:24.314
It's like, okay, all right, Garth doesn't like pleasing women. Garth is a— he's

56:24.814 --> 56:28.999
a manosphere guy. Not a generous lover. Not a generous lover, Garth. Garth Algar.

56:29.769 --> 56:32.818
Um, and then, then to— so Benjamin, who already

56:33.318 --> 56:37.406
has this amazing place, he's a cool, good-looking guy, whatever, and he's

56:37.906 --> 56:40.936
a high-ranking executive, and then he goes to order food for them and he orders

56:41.436 --> 56:44.866
in perfect Cantonese on the, uh, on the phone. Even calls out to Cassandra that

56:44.946 --> 56:47.722
based on her accent, she sounds like she's more from Kowloon Bay than from Hong

56:47.818 --> 56:50.898
Kong. So I was born in Kowloon Bay. Well, so Wayne has nothing.

56:50.946 --> 56:54.127
Every advantage that Wayne thinks that he has established for himself

56:54.175 --> 56:57.630
are just disintegrated, except for the most important one— he makes

56:58.130 --> 57:02.417
her laugh. That's Benjamin. Never makes her laugh. That's true. And I think that's

57:02.917 --> 57:03.760
what ends up being great for— but he doesn't— at this point, Wayne is not

57:04.260 --> 57:06.674
thinking about it. No, that's because he's only thinking about what he's lacking and everything.

57:07.570 --> 57:11.470
Um, Cassandra, the next time they show— I mean, she is just the

57:11.568 --> 57:14.951
absolute top of her game again in this movie. Like, Tia Carrere

57:15.451 --> 57:18.366
is just— well, she wears this red— in this scene, the red dress with the

57:18.866 --> 57:22.479
zippers on it. Oh my God, the thoughts, even at a 12-year-old

57:22.979 --> 57:23.715
sold that I have, like, I wonder what it looks like when you start undoing

57:23.747 --> 57:27.065
those zippers. Boy, I bet that's interesting. Like, literally, it's hot,

57:27.257 --> 57:30.848
you know, like, for sure. So they're going

57:30.880 --> 57:34.648
to Milwaukee now. Yeah, Benjamin gave them backstage passes to Alice Cooper for

57:35.148 --> 57:37.806
the next night because he's going to have to be with— we have work to

57:37.838 --> 57:41.637
do. Cassandra and I have work to do. You guys go to Milwaukee and enjoy

57:41.942 --> 57:45.068
seeing Alice Cooper and backstage passes and all that. So they're going. So get out

57:45.568 --> 57:48.436
of my hair. Go to Milwaukee. And they'll be distracted. And then we get this

57:48.936 --> 57:52.318
kind of this parody scene of the intro to the TV show Laverne and

57:52.366 --> 57:55.575
Shirley, which took place in Milwaukee, which is a sitcom which

57:56.075 --> 57:58.623
had these two women who worked at a brewery there and it and all the

57:59.123 --> 58:02.490
scenery around Milwaukee and kind of an iconic intro. And it's funny

58:02.538 --> 58:05.714
watching it being like, God, that's kind of a dated reference or whatever. And I

58:05.762 --> 58:09.308
looked it up and Laverne and Shirley ran from '76 to '83.

58:09.452 --> 58:13.331
So it was already dated. So let's say '79, right? So It,

58:13.348 --> 58:17.074
it was 13 years before Wayne's World came out that they're making that reference,

58:17.155 --> 58:20.752
which would be like us talking about the movie Wayne's World in 2005.

58:21.591 --> 58:24.360
Oh, okay. Yeah. So I'm never going to call a reference date.

58:24.733 --> 58:28.241
Our whole podcast is a dated reference. That's fair. But it's so funny

58:28.257 --> 58:31.243
at the time to think like, God, that, that really doesn't hold up. It's like,

58:31.549 --> 58:34.689
yeah, on, on the timeline we're on, it's way closer to

58:35.189 --> 58:38.457
Laverne and Shirley than it is to today. That's fair. Um, but funny,

58:38.570 --> 58:41.249
like a good shot for shot kind of remake of the intro to that show.

58:41.315 --> 58:42.506
Forklift and the, and the assembly line or the bottle line, all of it.

58:42.588 --> 58:45.667
It was really really good. But they

58:45.700 --> 58:48.928
do stop themselves, like, what are we doing? We've got backstage passes to Alice Cooper,

58:48.993 --> 58:52.447
let's go. Um, I also love this is when we see the Red Vine dispenser

58:52.625 --> 58:56.352
inside the Mirthmobile, which is like a ceiling-mounted— so that's kind of an indication that

58:56.852 --> 58:59.643
it's Garth's car. Like, it goes back and forth, right? Or was it like,

58:59.740 --> 59:03.290
okay, we get 2 modifications, I want a CD player that plugs into the

59:03.340 --> 59:06.764
tape thing and a Red Vine dispenser? I guess. I'm not sure. But because I

59:07.006 --> 59:10.310
don't think we see that dispenser early, and we definitely don't— it's not the— our

59:10.810 --> 59:13.101
attention is not drawn to it, but it may be present earlier in the movie.

59:13.150 --> 59:15.658
I didn't notice. But it does seem like the kind of thing Garth invented,

59:15.772 --> 59:18.905
right? Like the way that he's got these little gadgets and things. I don't think

59:19.405 --> 59:22.449
that that's a standard aftermarket, you know, install from AMC. No, it's not. Yeah,

59:22.465 --> 59:25.910
exactly. It's not listed on the stickers. Exactly, right, right. Yeah, yeah, next to

59:26.410 --> 59:29.368
the undercoating, yeah. But yeah, so we go to Alice Cooper and this,

59:29.691 --> 59:32.564
the only Alice Cooper song that I'm familiar with and have put on playlists is

59:32.677 --> 59:37.648
"Feed My Frankenstein." Right. Love this song because this movie— Goes in the Halloween playlist

59:38.148 --> 59:41.337
too. Absolutely. It's right there. The desert of the Halloween playlist, Alice Cooper provides a

59:41.837 --> 59:44.896
little oasis. But it's a lot of fun. You know, it's, it's, I mean,

59:45.056 --> 59:48.254
Alice Cooper was still young enough to sort of be active

59:48.447 --> 59:51.467
at this point, even though, you know, he was, you know, 20 years past his

59:51.580 --> 59:54.848
height of popularity at this point, really. But he does a great job and he's

59:54.864 --> 59:57.763
got, you know, these people. And so, but they, Wayne Garth, like, hey, let's go

59:58.263 --> 01:00:01.322
outside. Let's go backstage. Let's go backstage. You know, and they, whatever. There's a weird

01:00:01.323 --> 01:00:03.636
interaction between them as they go through the crowd and they get to the security

01:00:03.669 --> 01:00:07.034
guy where the security guy looks pissed at them, but then sees

01:00:07.066 --> 01:00:10.514
their badges and still is pissed at them and is like, go. And it's

01:00:11.014 --> 01:00:14.043
like, at that point, he should probably be like, oh, sorry, sir. Like, I mean,

01:00:14.091 --> 01:00:16.395
I just feel like it's a weird reaction for like the security guy in his

01:00:16.895 --> 01:00:19.553
concert. He's like, he got foiled. Like, I want to turn people away. Right.

01:00:19.601 --> 01:00:21.494
Now I don't get to. Like, oh no, I have to let you in.

01:00:22.011 --> 01:00:24.842
I do. I love the way that they're showing their passes and stuff as they

01:00:25.342 --> 01:00:28.530
go back there. Um, Alice Cooper is funny because it's like,

01:00:28.546 --> 01:00:32.089
looking back, we had Ozzy Osbourne and

01:00:32.105 --> 01:00:35.649
we have KISS. Yeah. We don't need Alice Cooper. You were the RC

01:00:35.729 --> 01:00:38.796
Cola of shock rockers of the '70s. We don't

01:00:39.296 --> 01:00:42.186
need you anymore. Yeah, um, but frankly, we had Frank Zappa and didn't need any

01:00:42.202 --> 01:00:45.512
of the other ones, really. But, um, so at this point,

01:00:45.673 --> 01:00:49.285
there's a security guy played by Chris Farley who's, who's like,

01:00:49.382 --> 01:00:52.683
uh, they're like, oh, what's this limo here? Oh, this limo is— this is record

01:00:53.183 --> 01:00:56.550
executives, and he's traveling here, and he's very sharp. Sharp Records. He gives

01:00:57.050 --> 01:01:00.667
this whole, like, upcoming itinerary, and then Wayne even says, like, boy, that sure is

01:01:00.716 --> 01:01:04.074
a lot of information. He was very well informed for a security guard.

01:01:04.252 --> 01:01:06.596
That's so strange because he also clearly works at the venue. He doesn't work,

01:01:06.612 --> 01:01:10.578
right? He's wearing the same yellow shirt that all the security— so anyway, but yeah,

01:01:10.788 --> 01:01:14.013
then they finally do get backstage. So they're backstage, and Alice Cooper, of course,

01:01:14.045 --> 01:01:17.748
it's not this rock star behavior. He's being— he's just like this serious

01:01:18.248 --> 01:01:21.970
conversation. It's like fucking, uh, yeah, NPR back

01:01:22.100 --> 01:01:25.334
there. And he's talking about facts about the history of Milwaukee and

01:01:25.834 --> 01:01:28.664
all these things, and they're just like— my favorite exchange— I mean, obviously the,

01:01:28.826 --> 01:01:32.367
the, the whole, you know, mele wa ke kind of thing is funny, but my

01:01:32.447 --> 01:01:35.999
absolute favorite moment in this exchange is he's talking, Wayne asks, "Oh, so you

01:01:36.499 --> 01:01:38.161
come to Milwaukee often?" He goes, "Oh, well, you know, Milwaukee's had a lot of

01:01:38.661 --> 01:01:42.066
visitors and I've definitely been here a lot and, you know, the French fur traders

01:01:42.566 --> 01:01:44.755
and like all this kind of stuff." And then like his guitarist or whatever goes,

01:01:45.333 --> 01:01:48.563
"Yeah, isn't Milwaukee an Indian name?" And he goes, "Yes, Pete,

01:01:48.579 --> 01:01:52.307
it is." The way Alice Cooper says, "Yes, Pete, it is," is

01:01:52.420 --> 01:01:56.674
so funny to me. Like, oh God. Let's throw Twisted Sister

01:01:57.174 --> 01:02:00.334
in the list if we're gonna be eliminating bands. Yeah, we can consolidate

01:02:00.834 --> 01:02:03.104
some of these. I feel like I'm keeping Twisted Sister. Out of all the ones

01:02:03.604 --> 01:02:06.536
we've talked about so far. That's fine. Alice Cooper can get rolled into Twisted Sister.

01:02:06.601 --> 01:02:08.780
That's okay. Okay. Yeah, that's fine. We can do that.

01:02:10.500 --> 01:02:13.678
So, so they're back and they do the 'we're

01:02:14.178 --> 01:02:16.825
not worthy' thing to Alice Cooper, which they have to. That's just a throwback to

01:02:17.325 --> 01:02:19.890
this SNL sketch. They had to find a way to make sure to get like

01:02:20.390 --> 01:02:23.698
a catchphrase, get the bullet points. So they're back at the

01:02:24.198 --> 01:02:27.586
set and, you know, it's been fully done. Like, I think they saw it before,

01:02:27.634 --> 01:02:30.269
but now it's like, well, they did a rehearsal and now it's like time to

01:02:30.301 --> 01:02:34.056
shoot and broadcast the first show, right? Right. And they do it neon

01:02:34.104 --> 01:02:37.446
sign, like, you know, Noah's Arcade presents Wayne's

01:02:37.946 --> 01:02:41.832
World and everything. New theme song. The theme song sucks so bad. It's really

01:02:42.332 --> 01:02:46.138
terrible. Wayne's World, Wayne's World, party time.

01:02:46.684 --> 01:02:49.817
Excellent. Like, no, I guess I forgot to

01:02:50.317 --> 01:02:53.079
look this up, but I wonder if that's like some notable person that they had

01:02:53.127 --> 01:02:56.357
sing that, that scene just for, just for the fun

01:02:56.857 --> 01:03:00.815
of it. But, um, yeah, so, so the, the show, because now

01:03:01.185 --> 01:03:05.178
Noah's Arcade is the sponsor, right? Every episode is just going to be an interview

01:03:05.210 --> 01:03:07.867
with the fucking— he's literally— they said he's going to have a weekly, and I

01:03:08.367 --> 01:03:10.662
think it's a weekly show to talk about. You talk about the new games.

01:03:10.775 --> 01:03:13.055
That's what they— I mean, that was the whole selling point, right? Was they said

01:03:13.555 --> 01:03:15.530
like, what's your biggest barrier? And it's like, well, we can't let the kids know

01:03:16.030 --> 01:03:18.133
when new games come in. It's like the advertising goes so much slower than the

01:03:18.617 --> 01:03:21.761
technology, which is fucking not true, certainly not back then. But like,

01:03:22.067 --> 01:03:24.163
whatever. And so they're saying, okay, well, if you had a weekly spot where you

01:03:24.663 --> 01:03:26.356
could come on and tell people about new games, do you like this? So I

01:03:26.856 --> 01:03:30.309
think the idea is, yeah, the 2 minutes of every Wayne's World episode

01:03:30.809 --> 01:03:33.601
is gonna be talking to Noah Vanderhoff? Like, how— like, this is gonna sink the

01:03:34.101 --> 01:03:37.391
show, right? There's no way people are gonna keep looking. But Wayne luckily has some

01:03:37.423 --> 01:03:41.197
ideas about how to spice it up a little bit, right? And they, and they

01:03:41.697 --> 01:03:45.051
tell him, they're very clear with him. They're like, we wrote your questions down on

01:03:45.551 --> 01:03:48.761
these note cards. Use these cards. Okay, don't fuck with us, right?

01:03:48.921 --> 01:03:52.149
There's a lot of money behind this, right? So yeah, so Wayne is, uh,

01:03:52.775 --> 01:03:56.228
he has his note cards and he's asking Noah Vanderhoff the questions, but on the

01:03:56.728 --> 01:03:59.970
back of the cards Yes. He has written certain things such as

01:04:00.424 --> 01:04:04.550
sphincter boy. With an arrow. With an arrow pointing to him. He blows goats,

01:04:04.743 --> 01:04:08.146
I have proof. Yes, I love that one. This man has no

01:04:08.646 --> 01:04:12.153
penis. Classic. And so up in the booth, people are busting

01:04:12.185 --> 01:04:15.463
up laughing except for Russell and Benjamin, obviously, who are very upset about it.

01:04:15.785 --> 01:04:18.663
But everybody else up there is laughing and Mrs. Vanderhoff is like noting,

01:04:19.099 --> 01:04:22.199
noticing the like reactions from the people and like giving thumbs up. Yeah,

01:04:22.312 --> 01:04:25.413
he thinks he's killing the interview. He gets off and goes over to his wife

01:04:25.913 --> 01:04:28.094
and she's like, money. That went so well. You got a huge reaction from that

01:04:28.594 --> 01:04:30.771
little room up there. He's like, I think that went really well.

01:04:32.554 --> 01:04:35.854
So Wayne gets shitcanned. Yep. They fire him from his own show.

01:04:36.792 --> 01:04:40.010
Uh, such a bomb. And Cassandra is in Chicago. She's with

01:04:40.043 --> 01:04:43.388
Benjamin. She's doing this, uh, the music video shoot right now.

01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:46.601
Yeah. Well, I don't know where they are. They're not in Chicago, I don't think.

01:04:46.649 --> 01:04:49.120
But because— are they on a set? I think they're like— yeah, some kind of

01:04:49.620 --> 01:04:52.626
some weird— wherever they are, it's, it's, it's crazy. But, but Uh,

01:04:53.027 --> 01:04:55.610
he goes to try and like convince her, right? Is that where we are?

01:04:55.995 --> 01:04:59.492
Yeah. And so he's trying to go convince her

01:04:59.992 --> 01:05:03.038
because Wayne's like, what can I offer her that Benjamin can't, right? Right.

01:05:03.134 --> 01:05:06.840
He puts together the pieces with what the security guard Chris Farley told them

01:05:06.904 --> 01:05:10.626
earlier. Oh, can we get Mr. Big from Sharp Records to hear her music?

01:05:10.674 --> 01:05:13.786
That's the gift I can give her. Yeah. So I'm gonna go to her and,

01:05:13.979 --> 01:05:16.690
and, you know, figure out how to set that up. So he's like headed out

01:05:17.190 --> 01:05:20.316
towards where she's shooting the music video. Yeah. And it's this weird

01:05:20.816 --> 01:05:24.248
like jungle waterfall set. They're in this cheetah pattern stuff. She has a boa around

01:05:24.748 --> 01:05:28.340
her neck. They're singing, I think, an original song for their band,

01:05:28.420 --> 01:05:31.437
but the song— they're all covers. It's an— okay, I don't know what this song—

01:05:31.469 --> 01:05:34.502
no, but this song sucks ass though. I don't like this song. I like a

01:05:35.002 --> 01:05:36.957
lot of the music in the movie. I did not like this song. Uh,

01:05:37.150 --> 01:05:40.632
good gag as they're speeding to go meet her and,

01:05:40.680 --> 01:05:44.130
uh, and save her is they get pulled over by the cops, right? And it

01:05:44.630 --> 01:05:47.869
is Robert Patrick from Terminator It is the liquid metal cop.

01:05:47.950 --> 01:05:50.792
So Wayne, he's like, have you seen this boy? And shows him a Polaroid.

01:05:50.857 --> 01:05:53.215
Wayne's just like, ah, just starts driving away.

01:05:54.072 --> 01:05:56.342
Yeah, it's very good because that was right— I mean, T2 was like the year

01:05:56.406 --> 01:05:59.852
before. It was great. It was very good. Um, and then so he goes and

01:05:59.868 --> 01:06:03.120
Wayne gets to the place and, and, and is trying to convince, uh,

01:06:03.620 --> 01:06:07.019
uh, Cassandra that, you know, like, he made mistakes and, and, you know, but he

01:06:07.035 --> 01:06:09.757
wants her back. And, and, you know, Benjamin's trying to take advantage of her.

01:06:09.935 --> 01:06:12.994
And yeah, she had been holding this huge snake during the shoot shooting, but like

01:06:13.494 --> 01:06:16.111
hands it to Benjamin when she comes off. And then Wayne is trying to— and

01:06:16.611 --> 01:06:18.987
he dips his fingers into like the pitcher of water and sprays him in his

01:06:19.020 --> 01:06:22.169
face. And then the next like little flashing text

01:06:22.669 --> 01:06:25.270
on the screen says Oscar clip as he's pouring his heart out, you know,

01:06:25.286 --> 01:06:28.693
whatever. And then it's like, and worst of all, I never learned to

01:06:28.966 --> 01:06:31.713
read. And then she goes, is that true? And he goes, yeah,

01:06:32.019 --> 01:06:33.577
everything but the reading part. Yeah.

01:06:36.389 --> 01:06:39.934
So, and then, uh, and Wayne is He's like playing this thing where

01:06:40.434 --> 01:06:43.079
he's convinced that this is all a fake. Like, you're not really shooting a music

01:06:43.144 --> 01:06:46.145
video. Then where's the band? Hey, Wayne. And like, they all walk away. Oh,

01:06:46.209 --> 01:06:48.820
sorry, I didn't see you guys there. And then he goes to the camera.

01:06:48.868 --> 01:06:52.243
He's like, oh yeah, there's not even really film in this camera. And he whips

01:06:52.743 --> 01:06:56.099
open the film container and it starts spilling out this like Naked

01:06:56.599 --> 01:06:59.983
Gun comical amount of film onto the ground that keeps piling up and piling up

01:07:00.048 --> 01:07:02.977
like the pile of pistachio shells. Like, exactly that. Exactly.

01:07:03.091 --> 01:07:06.814
She tells him to leave. Wayne, leave. Leave, like, whatever. And, uh, but then,

01:07:07.055 --> 01:07:10.424
you know, Benjamin's standing right next to her, still holding this, like, albino python,

01:07:10.472 --> 01:07:13.359
whatever the hell it is, and it's, like, crawling across her chest. And when she

01:07:13.859 --> 01:07:16.680
goes, wait, is that you or the snake? She realizes, like, this guy's a bad

01:07:17.180 --> 01:07:20.162
guy. Even if Wayne is being kind of shitty, he did just say he loves

01:07:20.178 --> 01:07:23.883
you, right? Like, you know, so she chooses Wayne. She leaves with Wayne. Uh,

01:07:23.948 --> 01:07:27.333
you know, Campbell, wait up, whatever. Um, we cut to where— so

01:07:27.833 --> 01:07:30.317
now they've got to get her back to Wayne's basement because they're going to shoot

01:07:30.817 --> 01:07:33.848
a special commercial sort of broadcast that they're gonna shoot over, you know, Garth is

01:07:33.864 --> 01:07:36.669
gonna triangulate onto satellites and different stuff and,

01:07:37.007 --> 01:07:39.777
and send to the back. 'Cause the guy's limo has like a TV satellite.

01:07:39.825 --> 01:07:43.424
It's very obvious and stuff. Drives everywhere. So he's gonna do that. And I noted

01:07:43.924 --> 01:07:45.850
one thing I noticed was funny is he's on his computer at home 'cause he's

01:07:46.350 --> 01:07:48.565
got his Tina Turner dog with him. And he's got like on the screen are

01:07:49.065 --> 01:07:52.245
all these different satellites that are like pointing down. Right next to his computer,

01:07:52.277 --> 01:07:55.555
I don't know if this was deliberate, was, is a Sega Game Gear. And I

01:07:56.055 --> 01:07:59.511
remember that in the very opening commercial when we saw Noah's Arcade's commercial, 2 Dads

01:07:59.607 --> 01:08:01.955
1 Movie, Sonic the Hedgehog was playing in this thing behind him. So it's like,

01:08:01.971 --> 01:08:05.332
is there a Sega sponsorship? Yeah. Is there a Sega, like a deliberate Sega placement

01:08:05.832 --> 01:08:07.650
here? I don't know. But yeah, there's a little Game Gear next to his computer.

01:08:09.186 --> 01:08:12.955
They have to go steal the truck from the local Lexus station

01:08:13.003 --> 01:08:15.170
in order to do this. And while they're doing it, this is when Wayne,

01:08:15.251 --> 01:08:18.782
like they're trying to all like army crawl and Wayne's like, wait guys, I fell

01:08:18.896 --> 01:08:22.642
on my keys. Oh man. Yeah.

01:08:23.452 --> 01:08:27.472
They're all, they're all there to get the truck and Russell kind

01:08:27.972 --> 01:08:31.074
of stops them as they're trying to go, but— and he's got a flashlight.

01:08:31.428 --> 01:08:34.455
Like, what are you guys doing here? You know, and Garth is like, all right,

01:08:34.471 --> 01:08:38.254
man, hey, we're trying to do this. And Garth, like, at some point reaches out,

01:08:38.480 --> 01:08:41.733
grabs the Maglite, unscrews it, takes the battery out as if he's

01:08:42.233 --> 01:08:45.518
taking the clip out of a gun. He's okay, he's okay.

01:08:45.856 --> 01:08:49.141
So Russell, of course, comes along with that. Best line is like, he's trying to

01:08:49.641 --> 01:08:51.974
convince him that Benjamin doesn't like him. Like, Benjamin's not like you, man. Like,

01:08:52.022 --> 01:08:55.956
he doesn't like you. No, Benjamin's my friend. No. If he were an ice cream

01:08:56.053 --> 01:08:59.507
flavor, he'd be Pralines and Dick.

01:08:59.973 --> 01:09:03.813
Yes! That's so good. And then we're in the car

01:09:03.990 --> 01:09:07.307
that now Russell is driving the van over to Wayne's house, and Terry's sitting

01:09:07.339 --> 01:09:11.466
next to him and he's like, "I love you, man." He goes, "I know." "No,

01:09:11.546 --> 01:09:14.524
no, no, you don't." "I love you, man." And Garth just goes, "Just say thank

01:09:15.024 --> 01:09:17.535
you." And he says, "Thank you." And then Terry hugs him and almost makes the

01:09:18.035 --> 01:09:19.412
pickup truck swerve off the road.

01:09:21.383 --> 01:09:24.135
Meanwhile, Benjamin is also racing to Wayne's house. Wayne's house. I think he's figured out

01:09:24.184 --> 01:09:26.931
what they're doing, or at least, you know, because he sent Russell, you know,

01:09:26.947 --> 01:09:30.162
to the, to the station. Um, but he gets pulled over along the way,

01:09:30.211 --> 01:09:34.437
not by Robert Patrick but by Officer Koharski. That's right, the body cavity search.

01:09:34.582 --> 01:09:37.873
And so then that clearly happens because then when Benjamin pulls up to

01:09:38.373 --> 01:09:40.036
Wayne's house and gets out of the car, he has to do so very gingerly,

01:09:40.617 --> 01:09:44.928
uh, and kind of, you know, with clenched butt cheeks. He's very uncomfortable.

01:09:45.315 --> 01:09:48.963
But basically they, they do the, the broadcast

01:09:49.044 --> 01:09:51.926
of Crucial Taunt. He even says Cassandra and Crucial Taunt, which is interesting, like the

01:09:52.426 --> 01:09:55.840
name changed or whatever. I don't know if Anthony's gonna like that. But they cover

01:09:56.340 --> 01:09:58.308
Ballroom Blitz, which is— they did it earlier. They did it at the Gas Works.

01:09:58.357 --> 01:10:01.632
It's a great song. This to me is the canonical version, even though it's a

01:10:02.132 --> 01:10:05.004
cover of a cover, because the COVID was more popular than the original the first

01:10:05.504 --> 01:10:07.853
time around. Who is the original original? I don't remember, dude. Like, honestly. Is it

01:10:08.353 --> 01:10:10.526
like an Edgar Winter or Rick Derringer or one of those kind of guys?

01:10:10.574 --> 01:10:13.827
It's not Edgar Winter, but it's in that ballpark. Yeah. Anyway, the point

01:10:13.908 --> 01:10:17.123
is— But her version is good. I don't love that song, but I think she

01:10:17.623 --> 01:10:19.595
has a good version. Oh, I really like the man in the back. The man

01:10:19.612 --> 01:10:23.294
with the crack. It's a good song. Anyway, it looks like the original was

01:10:24.064 --> 01:10:27.608
Sweet, was the first one. Maybe that's actually the most popular version,

01:10:27.720 --> 01:10:31.280
but yeah, it's been done a few times. Anyway, so they're gonna do

01:10:31.780 --> 01:10:36.123
that. And so now, you know, the broadcast starts in

01:10:36.315 --> 01:10:40.116
Mr. Sharp's, you know, limo, and he's watching

01:10:40.148 --> 01:10:43.756
it and she's doing great. She looks great, practically wearing like lingerie. She looks fantastic,

01:10:43.772 --> 01:10:47.107
but she's wailing and the band's doing great. Yeah. The limo does

01:10:47.139 --> 01:10:49.694
a little race around. Big old whip around,

01:10:49.954 --> 01:10:53.718
U-turn on the limo. They, you know, so he's driving up, Benjamin's driving

01:10:53.767 --> 01:10:56.992
up, they both kind of all arrive at the same time. As the song ends,

01:10:57.652 --> 01:11:01.063
um, Mr. Sharp has come down the stairs and Benjamin's come

01:11:01.563 --> 01:11:02.462
in one or the other. I don't know exactly how he got in there,

01:11:02.495 --> 01:11:05.327
but they're all kind of coalescing. And Sharp walks up and goes like, I just

01:11:05.408 --> 01:11:08.126
saw your performance and I thought you were really amazing, but I don't think it's

01:11:08.626 --> 01:11:11.847
the right time. I'm sorry. And then like Benjamin— and then Cassandra's pissed and he's

01:11:12.347 --> 01:11:15.323
like, Wayne, you ruined my career! And like, whatever. And then they end up,

01:11:15.339 --> 01:11:19.081
Benjamin and Cassandra, like on some, you know, some tropical island,

01:11:19.546 --> 01:11:22.883
and the sparkly bikini she's wearing. I swear to God, like, this was

01:11:22.915 --> 01:11:25.867
the stuff of my dreams for years. She's fantastic. Incredible.

01:11:25.948 --> 01:11:28.851
Yeah, yeah. And he even says, like, did you really think she'd end up with

01:11:29.351 --> 01:11:32.878
Wayne? And the other thing, uh, is that Stacy,

01:11:32.942 --> 01:11:36.520
Wayne's ex-girlfriend, comes into the screen. She's like, Wayne, I'm pregnant!

01:11:36.584 --> 01:11:40.611
That's how I've been acting so weird. And then all the equipment starts short-circuiting

01:11:40.723 --> 01:11:45.664
and the house catches on fire, burns down. So Wayne comes out

01:11:46.164 --> 01:11:48.397
out like carrying Garth from the charred remains of his house, and then it goes

01:11:48.429 --> 01:11:52.058
to Benjamin and Cassandra, right? So it's just a nightmare

01:11:52.524 --> 01:11:55.880
ending, and then Wayne and Garth slide in from the side. Yeah, you know,

01:11:56.041 --> 01:11:59.735
I think we're really gonna end it like that. Let's do the Scooby-Doo—

01:12:00.235 --> 01:12:03.188
yeah, the Scooby-Doo ending. So it's— and here's what I love. So there are 3

01:12:03.204 --> 01:12:06.078
endings of this movie, right? So the Scooby-Doo ending is the second one, but in

01:12:06.159 --> 01:12:09.547
each of the endings we don't get all the same setup, obviously.

01:12:09.628 --> 01:12:13.045
Like, we cut ahead a lot of the setup, right? Every time we get

01:12:13.077 --> 01:12:16.508
Benjamin gingerly stepping out of his car, they make sure to remind

01:12:17.008 --> 01:12:20.244
us in every version of this ending Benjamin got a full body cavity search before

01:12:20.276 --> 01:12:23.804
he arrived. Rob Lowe's balls have had a rough time on

01:12:24.304 --> 01:12:27.283
this podcast, right? Between Tommy Boy. Yes.

01:12:27.492 --> 01:12:30.394
Um, yeah, so the Scooby-Doo, uh,

01:12:30.699 --> 01:12:34.691
ending is that, uh, Old Man Withers,

01:12:34.948 --> 01:12:37.898
the guy that we were talking about earlier who's played such a variety of winos

01:12:38.075 --> 01:12:41.298
and bums Bobos, uh, you know, they're like, oh, we'll find out

01:12:41.798 --> 01:12:44.714
who Benjamin really is. Yeah, they rip a mask off and it's Old Man Withers,

01:12:44.746 --> 01:12:47.568
the owner of the haunted amusement park. Yeah, I would have gotten away with it

01:12:48.068 --> 01:12:50.599
too if it weren't for that dog. If you kids, you're meddling kids or whatever.

01:12:51.064 --> 01:12:53.774
Um, and then they said, oh, that was cool, now let's do the mega happy

01:12:53.870 --> 01:12:57.013
ending. And it's like, this is when same thing, we see

01:12:57.513 --> 01:13:00.445
Benjamin gingerly get out of the car, we're back in the basement, and Frank Sharp

01:13:00.945 --> 01:13:03.364
goes like, you're amazing, I want to sign you to a 6-album deal. And this

01:13:03.864 --> 01:13:06.490
is when I was like, for covers? For Yeah, for a cover band, you're gonna

01:13:06.990 --> 01:13:09.757
put— what do you do 6 albums of? This is bizarre.

01:13:09.984 --> 01:13:13.105
Like, you know, like, I get that it was like the early '90s and,

01:13:13.218 --> 01:13:16.166
and your image was way more important, Mrs. Smith,

01:13:16.359 --> 01:13:19.749
maybe, than your musical talent or your songwriting talent. And maybe his thought

01:13:20.249 --> 01:13:23.123
is, well, I got songwriters, they'll write songs, she'll, you know, sing them and they'll

01:13:23.187 --> 01:13:26.503
be huge hits. So I get that that's possible, but like, really, this is like

01:13:26.632 --> 01:13:30.160
the band you give, you know, all this— that's a big bite off of,

01:13:30.337 --> 01:13:34.088
off of hearing a very small thing. Exactly. And then Wayne and Cassandra

01:13:34.588 --> 01:13:39.000
hook up and that's all happy. And then Garth and his dream woman encounter

01:13:39.097 --> 01:13:43.234
each other, so they get to hook up. And they end

01:13:43.266 --> 01:13:45.656
telling us that we got fished in, which I'm not really sure was nice.

01:13:45.832 --> 01:13:49.200
Like, yeah, but like, fished in, like, like we bought it, like, you know,

01:13:49.264 --> 01:13:51.766
it's like, well, yeah, we're here to watch the movie, you guys, which is what

01:13:52.266 --> 01:13:55.679
you told us. Anyway, good stuff though. So that's— yeah, and that's

01:13:56.179 --> 01:13:59.288
it, that's the end of it. What a, uh, what a fun twist at the

01:13:59.788 --> 01:14:02.896
end doing the multiple ending. It was nice. I really enjoyed that.

01:14:03.281 --> 01:14:07.131
Yeah, I remember, I remember watching it the first time and thinking, wow, they really

01:14:07.468 --> 01:14:10.837
had like this ending is going back when, when it was— it's like, I remember

01:14:10.917 --> 01:14:13.644
even as a kid when, when Mr. Sharp is like, hey, I think you're very

01:14:14.144 --> 01:14:16.676
talented, very beautiful, but this isn't the right time. I was like, oh damn,

01:14:16.708 --> 01:14:19.980
they didn't let her get like— this doesn't work. And then, but then like it

01:14:20.060 --> 01:14:23.686
escalates so quickly, you're like, what the fuck is happening? And then

01:14:24.186 --> 01:14:25.851
when it's like, as if we'd end the movie that way, it's like, oh,

01:14:26.332 --> 01:14:28.899
okay, it's going to be something. And then it's like you settle in, but it's

01:14:29.399 --> 01:14:31.966
like, yeah, they really kind kind of— I was like, that's such a strange way

01:14:32.466 --> 01:14:34.922
to end this movie on such a down note. Yeah, what is this, Empire Strikes

01:14:35.422 --> 01:14:38.441
Back? Like, what are we doing here? You know? Um, and so that's Wayne's World.

01:14:38.521 --> 01:14:41.365
Well, Steve, this was, uh, this was your pick.

01:14:41.509 --> 01:14:45.189
Uh, you want to lead us off here with the rating? Absolutely. Yeah, so this

01:14:45.689 --> 01:14:48.900
movie is so much fun, and it really— it was not obvious to me

01:14:49.400 --> 01:14:52.708
before we started just how much has stayed with me

01:14:52.756 --> 01:14:56.451
over the years from this movie. Um, I don't think I realized like how much

01:14:56.951 --> 01:15:00.403
of my like general sense of humor was formed by

01:15:00.903 --> 01:15:03.970
Mike Myers. And I think that, you know, for me personally, like I recognize it

01:15:03.986 --> 01:15:07.231
more from like Soy Mary Dax Murderer, where it's like a lot of the jokes

01:15:07.731 --> 01:15:09.368
in that movie are like things my wife and I still say to each other

01:15:09.868 --> 01:15:12.871
on a regular basis. This movie, I didn't realize kind of just how much of

01:15:13.371 --> 01:15:15.779
it. I think Wayne's World 2 has a ton as well. I remember the story

01:15:15.795 --> 01:15:18.671
about the brown M&Ms and all this stuff. Right. You know, there's little bits that

01:15:19.171 --> 01:15:22.527
are like definitely also stick with you. So it's just such a, such a really

01:15:22.639 --> 01:15:25.322
wonderful very funny movie. Like, to its core,

01:15:25.933 --> 01:15:28.633
this is an approachable, funny movie.

01:15:29.532 --> 01:15:32.682
There's really, you know, there's a handful of kind of dirty jokes, but not too

01:15:33.182 --> 01:15:35.735
bad. No curse words as far as I remember. I think there's, you know,

01:15:35.815 --> 01:15:38.210
just the real shitty, the shitty Beatles. You know, they use the shit a couple

01:15:38.710 --> 01:15:41.680
times. There's no like F-bomb in this one or anything like that. It's just a

01:15:42.180 --> 01:15:45.280
lot of fun. And the Wayne and Garth characters are just infinitely likable.

01:15:45.778 --> 01:15:48.895
Even when Wayne kind of pisses everybody off and then quickly has to like make

01:15:49.395 --> 01:15:51.953
up up with, with Garth and with Cassandra, whatever, he's able to do it because

01:15:51.969 --> 01:15:55.168
they're just likable characters. Yeah. And that's, and that's a good thing for comedy

01:15:55.264 --> 01:15:58.030
like this to have. Um, I, you know, it's not perfect.

01:15:58.159 --> 01:16:00.965
There's definitely like, you know, parts of it are a little like, okay, that was

01:16:00.981 --> 01:16:02.868
kind of dumb. And we skipped over a couple things. There was like, uh,

01:16:03.239 --> 01:16:06.077
they opened a door at Stan McKeen's once, a bunch of special forces guys like

01:16:06.577 --> 01:16:09.310
training, but it's kind of like, that's weird. Okay, kind of funny, but like,

01:16:09.375 --> 01:16:12.606
whatever. Um, so yeah, I'm a 4 out of 5 on

01:16:13.106 --> 01:16:14.884
Wayne's World. I think this was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it.

01:16:14.933 --> 01:16:17.721
It's definitely something that has stuck with me, but I can't really go higher than

01:16:18.221 --> 01:16:21.746
a 4 just on like basic kind of how good is the movie kind

01:16:22.246 --> 01:16:25.499
of thing. Like, it's a really enjoyable time, but like as a film, like,

01:16:25.515 --> 01:16:28.369
it doesn't, you know, garner kind of more praise for me than that. So I'm

01:16:28.417 --> 01:16:31.496
a 4 out of 5 on Wayne's World. That's, that's solid. Yeah, and,

01:16:31.689 --> 01:16:35.249
and I'm with you on, uh, the likability of the characters. It makes

01:16:35.297 --> 01:16:38.632
such a difference to be able to just like, hey, I'm signing

01:16:38.648 --> 01:16:41.134
up to hang out with these guys for an hour and a half, and I'm

01:16:41.634 --> 01:16:43.976
okay with that because, you know, it's fun to be part of Wayne's World.

01:16:44.041 --> 01:16:46.755
It's fun to tune in and watch the sketch and all that stuff. And this

01:16:47.255 --> 01:16:50.257
movie really created a whole world around them, um,

01:16:50.611 --> 01:16:54.209
a Wayne's World, hey, you might say. Uh, no,

01:16:54.225 --> 01:16:57.454
but this— and they did enough, like we

01:16:57.954 --> 01:17:01.245
said, that they made a sequel to this that's also very good that came out

01:17:01.309 --> 01:17:04.008
like a year later or 2 years later. So less than 2 years, I mean,

01:17:04.104 --> 01:17:08.040
just banged it out. So there was a lot of material here. All the

01:17:08.540 --> 01:17:12.051
choices for the The side characters I think were funny.

01:17:12.131 --> 01:17:15.657
I think they were well placed. A lot of times with big comedies, you'll see

01:17:16.157 --> 01:17:19.585
them kind of shoehorning in a cameo of someone just to show

01:17:19.665 --> 01:17:23.032
you the person, but you're just like, yeah, but they're not funny. I don't give

01:17:23.532 --> 01:17:26.863
a fuck. You know, if you just put like Conor McGregor, just some random famous

01:17:26.879 --> 01:17:29.540
asshole in a movie to be like, yeah, why, why do we do that?

01:17:30.085 --> 01:17:33.323
Um, and they didn't really do that here. They had very skilled actors down to

01:17:33.823 --> 01:17:37.541
the small parts. I mean, Ed O'Neill as such a minuscule part there, you know.

01:17:37.621 --> 01:17:41.055
Laura Flynn Boyle is such a small part. Um, I'm with you on the

01:17:41.087 --> 01:17:44.215
rating. I'm gonna give Wayne's World a 4 out of 5. It goes very quickly,

01:17:44.279 --> 01:17:47.729
it's very fun, the music is good, quite good. Yeah,

01:17:47.745 --> 01:17:50.360
and especially if you're into that type of music, it's a good,

01:17:50.793 --> 01:17:54.227
good collection. Um, Tia Carrere doing her own singing. Yeah,

01:17:54.323 --> 01:17:57.387
gets a lot of points. So yeah, nothing wrong with Wayne's World. One of the

01:17:57.887 --> 01:18:00.997
best SNL movies we had. Sure. And probably of the '80s and '90s. Yeah,

01:18:01.206 --> 01:18:04.659
top, top 3. Yeah, for sure. Loved it. Excellent. 4 out of 5 for

01:18:05.159 --> 01:18:07.967
Wayne's World. 8 out of 10 from the 2 Dads on Wayne's World. That doesn't

01:18:08.467 --> 01:18:12.159
surprise me at all. Uh, so we're gonna move on now to 1993,

01:18:12.384 --> 01:18:14.632
and that is your pick, Nic. What are we watching for '93?

01:18:15.050 --> 01:18:18.937
1993, uh, we are going to a movie that I have seen

01:18:19.386 --> 01:18:23.466
so many times. I think at one point I could probably do

01:18:23.966 --> 01:18:27.095
a decent job of just reciting the movie from beginning to end,

01:18:27.160 --> 01:18:30.629
just like knowing every part of it. Um, and we're taking

01:18:31.129 --> 01:18:35.030
a departure from comedy, although this is one— like, sometimes you watch something enough

01:18:35.094 --> 01:18:38.258
that it becomes a comedy even if it's not a comedy, right? So you just

01:18:38.307 --> 01:18:41.776
like, you get attached to certain things and it's funny. I feel that way about

01:18:42.276 --> 01:18:45.615
Predator, for the record. Yeah, exactly. Um, but,

01:18:45.711 --> 01:18:49.341
but I'm interested to see how this one comes off. We're, we're gonna go to

01:18:49.646 --> 01:18:52.232
Compton, California, 1993,

01:18:53.003 --> 01:18:56.392
and Uh, we're gonna see what the Hughes brothers have

01:18:56.892 --> 01:19:00.293
to show us in 1993's Menace to Society.

01:19:00.711 --> 01:19:04.356
Nice. Um, this is one that I saw a ton in college,

01:19:05.207 --> 01:19:08.514
and, uh, it is actually, you know, came out I think a

01:19:09.014 --> 01:19:11.340
couple years after Boyz n the Hood. I think Boyz n the Hood might have

01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:15.081
been '91 or so, but there was this whole run of this type of movie.

01:19:15.162 --> 01:19:18.245
They were kind of like hood movie to various degrees of success.

01:19:18.309 --> 01:19:21.135
Colors, yeah. Yeah, and some were very, um,

01:19:21.295 --> 01:19:25.342
some were very successful, some were very exploitative, some were very cheesily

01:19:25.374 --> 01:19:28.473
done and everything. So I think this is one of the better ones,

01:19:28.730 --> 01:19:32.101
and I'm very interested to see how it holds up under some analysis.

01:19:32.583 --> 01:19:36.276
I think it's definitely worth seeing as like a relic of the time. And,

01:19:36.356 --> 01:19:38.556
uh, yeah, I look forward to chatting with you about it next week.

01:19:38.620 --> 01:19:41.334
1993's Menace to Society. That's awesome.

01:19:41.655 --> 01:19:45.688
I've never seen Menace to Society. All right, it'd be interesting for me. I've seen,

01:19:45.705 --> 01:19:48.296
I've seen Boyz n the Hood, I've seen Higher Learning, I've seen New Jack City,

01:19:48.360 --> 01:19:51.498
like all kind of in the, in similar ballparks, I feel like, in a lot

01:19:51.998 --> 01:19:53.808
of ways. But yeah, but this one's new to me. So that's going to be

01:19:54.308 --> 01:19:57.439
exciting. Very, very excited to watch Menace to Society for the first time. All right.

01:19:58.149 --> 01:20:00.795
