Speaker 1: Guys, when you guess goo, it's a max story. How
Speaker 1: about another.
Speaker 2: Game of really strong sound effect?
Speaker 1: There Guess Goo, of course, the America's favorite game of
Speaker 1: Mac and Goo creating. No one else has ever done this.
Speaker 1: We have been given cards from the other Billy d
Speaker 1: of a bunch of Mac and characters. Shuffle them up.
Speaker 1: John Lovett is in there, Mouse, Ghost life is beautiful.
Speaker 2: Gold, I'm in there. You're in there.
Speaker 1: What we have to do here, Mac is we will
Speaker 1: pick one of these cards, put it onto our boards,
Speaker 1: and the other person, one at a time, will ask
Speaker 1: questions to reduce the amount of card showing, and the
Speaker 1: person to guess the other person's main card first is
Speaker 1: the winner. You are up one nothing in the series.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh what a comeback I had there. You were
Speaker 2: down to I believe two or three things left and
Speaker 2: I had like eight or nine. Yeah, and I sniped
Speaker 2: a guess.
Speaker 1: All right, So this is pretty much Mac and Go
Speaker 1: Guess who it's guess? Go all right, Mac, Let's pull
Speaker 1: a card.
Speaker 2: Yep, I'm gonna pull one from the middle here.

Speaker 2: right correct? Hold on, hold on, hold on, I'm in
Speaker 2: trouble here.
Speaker 1: Okay. Does your person, place, thing, or time of day
Speaker 1: that could all be on the card. Do they look

Speaker 1: get the job done?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'd say so.
Speaker 1: Shit, Okay, so no, no, this is I don't think

Speaker 1: Brendan Fraser wouldn't Babu Frick would dumb Pirate movies would
Speaker 1: not Meetball Summer would the janitor from Justice League that
Speaker 1: mop the Greats would not that fucking asshole Pistachio disguise,

Speaker 1: Yeah, go yes.
Speaker 2: Mac, there's your person or character or character that may
Speaker 2: be on your card. There is there any facial hair

Speaker 2: can venture a guess yet. So do I like your thing? No?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, because I fear that you are getting close,
Speaker 1: I will venture a guess.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right.
Speaker 1: This is who I believe would also be good at coitus.
Speaker 1: Are you Wayne Knight?
Speaker 2: No? I am not Wayne Knight.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: I don't like this thing, so I like him. I
Speaker 2: like him. I like him. See now, I have like
Speaker 2: two fifty fifties here. I think you would say I'd
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: I don't know you at all, so keep that in mind.
Speaker 2: Are you the silly Goss T shirt?
Speaker 1: I am not? Oh shit, I will ask you this. Mac.
Speaker 1: Are you John Lovitz?
Speaker 2: No, I am not.
Speaker 1: Do you think John Lovitz could get the job done.
Speaker 2: Fifty to fifty? I was fifty to fifty on that
Speaker 2: I could. I wasn't sure. I left that one up
Speaker 2: to you. Are you the commissioner from the Batman?
Speaker 1: I am not whoa boy?
Speaker 2: I've in trouble here then.
Speaker 1: All right? Mac? Okay, are you silly Goss?

Speaker 1: Silly Goss would get the job done, though seconds in
Speaker 1: a silly way. I kid tickler a little bit.
Speaker 2: All right, So I'm down to two here goo. And
Speaker 2: maybe it's the wrong too, Maybe we're lost in communication.
Speaker 2: Here are you the porgatory?
Speaker 1: I am not porgatory? Oh all right, don't say what.
Speaker 1: Don't say what you have left yet? I have one
Speaker 1: more chance to get it.
Speaker 2: I have one thing left.
Speaker 1: I have one chance to get it. Okay, are you
Speaker 1: Michael Keaton?
Speaker 2: No, I'm not Michael Keaton. Cud this is the only
Speaker 2: thing I have left. So maybe they we crashed wires.
Speaker 2: Here are you Nathan Lane's mouse ghost no, Oh, I
Speaker 2: am not really fucked up here. I got no things left?
Speaker 1: Is it me?
Speaker 2: It's you?
Speaker 1: Fuck?
Speaker 2: Yes. I don't know if you won though, because I
Speaker 2: got no things left?
Speaker 1: Who was?
Speaker 2: Who were you?
Speaker 1: Why do you knock down another dumb Pirates of the
Speaker 1: Caribbean movie?
Speaker 2: Oh? I like that.
Speaker 1: You like the idea of another stupid Pirates movie?
Speaker 2: I was thinking of a sex movie there, that's why.
Speaker 1: No, that's just called Pirates.
Speaker 2: I purposefully knocked that one down. You're right, I knocked
Speaker 2: that down. I should have got that all right. One one?
Speaker 2: You won?
Speaker 1: Hell?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did have you in your in your thor
Speaker 2: T shirt, whatever the fuck you wearing there.
Speaker 1: What a great win for me. And thank you for
Speaker 1: all the for all the confidence that you have in me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that you can get the job done.
Speaker 1: One good three?
Speaker 2: Yeah, job three.
Speaker 1: King of Queen Mall Street.
Speaker 2: Entertainment, I'm go and I'm man.
Speaker 1: And we are the Mac and Goo program. Guess Goo
Speaker 1: is tied up at one apiece?
Speaker 2: Yeah, unfortunate. I should have won that. That was it
Speaker 2: was in my hands. You kind of butchered the question
Speaker 2: asking I fucked that one up.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Do you think that I butchered it, or
Speaker 1: you didn't. You didn't read the car I wasn't.
Speaker 2: I wasn't fully aware of what that pirates thing was.
Speaker 2: You were, I was not. But that's on me. I
Speaker 2: should have been I should have asked.
Speaker 1: That's fine, so blame me for that. That's fine.
Speaker 2: I should have had a sidebar there to clarify what
Speaker 2: that was that one.
Speaker 1: I would have answered it.
Speaker 2: That's fair. Uh. Goo, the folks at home we are today.
Speaker 2: I don't know if we've done this before. You correct
Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong. We're discussing a musical today. Have
Speaker 2: we done a musical?
Speaker 1: You've done Mean Girls? I talked for one second about Hamilton.
Speaker 1: I think it might be it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hamilton doesn't really count because it was just a
Speaker 2: recording on the stage play. It was Mean Girls counts.
Speaker 1: I've been asking for years to do Grease too, and
Speaker 1: you won't do it. Yeah. I'm also and you claim
Speaker 1: to love musicals, I do. You're a phone and you're
Speaker 1: a big fat phony.
Speaker 2: Maybe we got further evidence here today we are discussing Wicked. Wicked,
Speaker 2: Uh just called Wicked, but technically part one and it
Speaker 2: is subtitled in the cards in the movie theater and
Speaker 2: Goo there was, so I went on a Monday afternoon,
Speaker 2: so it was not an empty theater, but not a
Speaker 2: lot of people there. There were folks in there stunned
Speaker 2: by the fact that this was a part one, and
Speaker 2: I don't blame them. I don't blame them. If the
Speaker 2: stage play is only two or three hours, I could
Speaker 2: understand why someone would be stunned that it's a part one.
Speaker 2: On the flip side, they were they announced that there'd
Speaker 2: be two parts. I don't know six months ago, a
Speaker 2: while ago, a long time ago.
Speaker 1: We had that in news dump and at the time
Speaker 1: I said, I'm not going to watch this, but here
Speaker 1: we are.
Speaker 2: Goo Wicked Part one, Part EH is a PG musical
Speaker 2: fantasy and romance couple sub genres here fairy tale, which
Speaker 2: I agree with, yeah, and pop musical, so I don't
Speaker 2: really agree with.
Speaker 1: No, because they sang on set, right.
Speaker 2: I think it was like ninety percent on set singing.
Speaker 1: Because I would say pop musical if they then added
Speaker 1: the vocals in after.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I also feel like pop musical and jukebox musical.
Speaker 2: Jukebox musical is sort of the same, like it's current
Speaker 2: pop music, which this is not whatsoever. I think it
Speaker 2: maybe guess just because Ariana Grande is involved, maybe.
Speaker 1: That's why she's a pop singer. I get it.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, dude. This movie has a run time
Speaker 2: of one hundred and sixty minutes two hours and forty minutes.
Speaker 2: It is, at least in my perspective, and this is
Speaker 2: where we're gonna differ here, it felt like half that time.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you the question, though, how long
Speaker 1: are the songs?
Speaker 2: So there's a couple extended things, but I felt like
Speaker 2: they did a really good job of having plot scenes
Speaker 2: and songs here and there. It wasn't full blown musical
Speaker 2: the entire time.
Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna break it to the people right now,
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm not the best person to be talking
Speaker 1: about this movie. I don't always care for yous. I liked.
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago. I preferred the Andrew Garfield
Speaker 1: musical that came out at that time. No, what was
Speaker 1: that one called Click Click Boom?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was essentially a biopic of the gentleman
Speaker 2: that wrote or produced Rent, created Rent, and it was
Speaker 2: somewhat of a musical. It got it. I didn't mind that,
Speaker 2: But to me, that's nowhere near this.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that more and then my go to musicals.
Speaker 1: I always joke about Grease too, but I do really
Speaker 1: love Grease one. I do like Grease too, but I
Speaker 1: like those because the songs are really short and punchy.
Speaker 1: You get in, you get out, you get right back
Speaker 1: on with the story. My favorite part of Wicked is
Speaker 1: there was an extended period of time for like twenty
Speaker 1: to twenty five minutes where there was no music and
Speaker 1: I was getting back into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Good story, really good story here, and especially because
Speaker 2: we know the end game, so trying to figure out
Speaker 2: how they navigate there. And actually, to your point, for
Speaker 2: any listeners at home that may not have the bad here,
Speaker 2: you and I do not know the story of Wicked.
Speaker 2: You know the story of the Wizard of Oz. We
Speaker 2: know that the stage play Wicked is based on a book,
Speaker 2: but we don't actually know the ins and outs of
Speaker 2: the story. We just know the story of the Wizard
Speaker 2: of Oz.
Speaker 1: All I know is Kristin Chenow and a Dina Menzel.
Speaker 2: Correct Chennow played Glinda. Adina Menzel played Alpha. But I
Speaker 2: believe Wicked came out in two thousand and four, I
Speaker 2: want to say, was when it first hit Broadway. And
Speaker 2: an addendum to that and aside is I would consider
Speaker 2: myself a fan of musicals. You don't really like musicals,
Speaker 2: every once in a while one gets you.
Speaker 1: Also, I've said in the past, and I stick by this,
Speaker 1: don't love witches. But I think that has more to
Speaker 1: do with telling that same old Salem witch story. Like
Speaker 1: this witch story didn't bother me as much.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, this is like has witch stuff
Speaker 2: and there is a prime witch, but it's not really
Speaker 2: a witch story. This is a story, and I think
Speaker 2: this is one of the strengths of this story and
Speaker 2: the movie, which ties into the Wizard of Oz a bit.
Speaker 2: But this is a story about an outsider or a
Speaker 2: story of It's a story that a lot of people
Speaker 2: can relate to in one way or another. It might
Speaker 2: have gone through something similar when they were a young
Speaker 2: person and could really relate to the story or the
Speaker 2: emotions at the core of this whole thing.
Speaker 1: But I do question, and I ask, like, what do
Speaker 1: people major in when they go to shiz because there
Speaker 1: seems to only be one magical person there some like
Speaker 1: one other person that wants to know magic. There's like
Speaker 1: four majors, So what like what else is there? What's
Speaker 1: your major bro, Yeah, I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: I think my biggest gripe about this movie is that
Speaker 2: it's called shizz. I really didn't care for that. Don't
Speaker 2: like that, don't like saying it, don't like hearing it,
Speaker 2: don't like anything around that. That's just it's not fun
Speaker 2: to say. It's not like Francisco Francisco.
Speaker 1: We also spend all and maybe you thought it was
Speaker 1: like an appropriate amount of time a lot of time
Speaker 1: at hizz.
Speaker 2: Oh. I'd say appropriate amount of time for a two parts.
Speaker 2: So if this was one part, it would have been
Speaker 2: too much time because we're spending two or we're getting
Speaker 2: two motion pictures here go. I think we spent an
Speaker 2: appropriate amount of time and probably could have spent more,
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, But I think there was
Speaker 2: a good amount of time there and a necessary amount
Speaker 2: of time there to build the relationship between Glinda and Alphaba.
Speaker 1: Because things really kicking to gear when we get the
Speaker 1: perfectly cast Jeff Goldbloom on the screen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's that's the other part here is from
Speaker 2: the Wizard of Oz. We know the Wizard of Oz
Speaker 2: got of a son of a bitch? Oh really, No,
Speaker 2: looming large over everything here.
Speaker 1: We've all seen James Franco's Wizard of Oz. We know
Speaker 1: he's just a con man.
Speaker 2: Uh Goo, Yes, Wicked part oon on Roddy T's ninety
Speaker 2: percent from the critics, ninety seven percent from the audience.
Speaker 2: So everyone is liking this movie except for Go on
Speaker 2: Metacritic of seventy three, which is very good. But I
Speaker 2: would say, after seeing this and after you know, thinking
Speaker 2: about the all time great musicals, probably a little low
Speaker 2: from my perspective. From my opinion, this movie is written
Speaker 2: by Winnie Holtzman, who is the creator goo of the
Speaker 2: show called My So Called Life. That's Jared Leto and
Speaker 2: Claire Dane's show from the nineties. Believe it only had
Speaker 2: one season, right, you know what.
Speaker 1: That really actually fits? That makes complete sense to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's a there's an underneath here, an emotional
Speaker 2: part here, a romance type of story here that kind
Speaker 2: of ties.
Speaker 1: To that, right, and like not only that, but like
Speaker 1: you know, youthful drama, an outsider trying to fit. It
Speaker 1: really does fit.
Speaker 2: And also someone of that age group that would have
Speaker 2: probably really loved Wicked, you know, eight years later, whenever
Speaker 2: that the timeframe is here. The second writer here is
Speaker 2: da Dana Fox, the more Hollywood typewriter, a writer on
Speaker 2: the wedding date. What happens in Vegas? Couples Retreat, Corella
Speaker 2: Goo loved Corilla and the Lost City, so lots of
Speaker 2: lots of action there. And of course this movie is
Speaker 2: based on the mute musical Wicked, which was written by
Speaker 2: Stephen Schwartz who did I think the music part of it?
Speaker 2: And of course Winnie Holtzman, who we just talked about.
Speaker 2: And that musical is based on the book by Gregory maguire.
Speaker 2: Gregory McGuire's book Wicked is essentially, for lack of a
Speaker 2: better term, Wizard of Oz fan fiction right, loved the
Speaker 2: Wizard of Oz and wrote a backstory between the Wicked
Speaker 2: Witch of the West and Glinda wrote a prequel. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's really what it came from. And that book was
Speaker 2: written by l. Frank Baum l FB Alpha Bah. That's
Speaker 2: where that character's name comes out.
Speaker 1: No way, Yeah, just learned something I did?
Speaker 2: How about that? This movie is directed by John M. Chew.
Speaker 2: You would know him from Step Up two, Step Up three,
Speaker 2: d G I Joe Retaliation Now you see Me too.
Speaker 2: They just finished wrapping the third one there, Crazy Rich Asians,
Speaker 2: which I still haven't seen it, but you really enjoyed that,
Speaker 2: and also in The Heights. So John M. Chew is
Speaker 2: sort of becoming this golden goose of sorts for these
Speaker 2: more theater related Hollywood blockbusters, and he's honestly done a
Speaker 2: very good job over the last decade plus. He's really
Speaker 2: become an it director, and it's honestly impressive at this point,
Speaker 2: especially considering the last three he's done that he's been
Speaker 2: able to handle the task at hand upcoming for him.
Speaker 2: He's got four projects he's working on.
Speaker 1: Swit's Family Robinson.
Speaker 2: So it's family Robinson. Interested in that.
Speaker 1: All I could think about though, is on Parks and
Speaker 1: Reck when Tom sees Ron's hat, the raccoon has like
Speaker 1: sweets family Robinson, let me get that hat.
Speaker 2: Also doing part two of Wicked. He's in production on
Speaker 2: Crazy Rich Asians too, and also another stage play turn movie,
Speaker 2: Joseph and the Amazing technicol Or Dream Cup.
Speaker 1: No, thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually don't know any bit of the story there.
Speaker 2: Maybe you do. You were more closely involved with theater
Speaker 2: nerdship in high school than I was, so you know, not.
Speaker 1: Only that I grew up with my brother who loved
Speaker 1: all of these musicals, and my sister also enjoyed them.
Speaker 1: So I was dragged to so many playhouse musicals as
Speaker 1: a child, and I think by the age of fourteen,
Speaker 1: my parents finally stopped taking me.
Speaker 2: Also, the biggest development for me this past week was
Speaker 2: finding out that your brother did not see this movie
Speaker 2: on opening night. I thought for sure.
Speaker 1: I never asked him. I'm pretty sure he didn't see it, though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's absolutely stunning. This is so far up his alley.
Speaker 2: Synopsis for Wicked Alpha Ba, a misunderstood young woman because
Speaker 2: of her green skin, and Glinda, a popular girl, become
Speaker 2: friends at his university in the Land of Oz. After
Speaker 2: an encounter with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship
Speaker 2: reaches acrossroads. This movie stars Cynthia Arrival as Alphaba, the
Speaker 2: Green Witch, Ariana Grande as Glinda. What turns into like
Speaker 2: the nice Witch? What is she called?
Speaker 1: Well, she's the Goodie two shoes in this one, but yeah,
Speaker 1: she's the good Witch of the North.
Speaker 2: Whatever it is. She's the one that wears pink. That's
Speaker 2: how you would know her. Jeff Goldbloom as the Wonderful
Speaker 2: Wizard of Oz, Michelle Yo as Madame Morrible, which is
Speaker 2: a really, I mean, real lazy name when you when
Speaker 2: you think about it, Jonathan Bailey as Fierro, Even Slater
Speaker 2: as Bach Ethan Slater, Goo, I don't know if you
Speaker 2: knew this, you might you might be up to speed
Speaker 2: on this Ariana Grande's real life. Yeah friend.
Speaker 1: So as soon as as soon as his uh puss
Speaker 1: popped up on screen, my uh, my wife immediately soon
Speaker 1: my wife immediately told me that's the guy that cheated
Speaker 1: on his wife for Ariana Grande.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which totally understand that. I'm pretty sure they met
Speaker 2: on this set. That's how it came to be. But yes,
Speaker 2: that's how you would know. Ethan Slater as Aria. And
Speaker 2: then I said his boyfriend, that guy, right, Yeah, it
Speaker 2: gives us all hope. Okay, gives us all hope.
Speaker 1: That's that's okay.
Speaker 2: Uh and just adds yet another weird thing on Ariana
Speaker 2: Grande's hit list. She's had a very bizarre dating history.
Speaker 2: She's a bizarre person. That's that's just what she is.
Speaker 1: I don't care for her eyebrows in this movie.
Speaker 2: Very blonde, yes, very blond. Good Marissa Body Asnessa Rose
Speaker 2: that's Alphaba's sister. Peter Dinklage as Doctor Dilamonde. He's the
Speaker 2: Goat Professor.
Speaker 1: And that's who the voice was. I didn't do any
Speaker 1: research on this movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and actually a subdued Peter Dinklage for once,
Speaker 2: because sometimes he's really really overdoing it.
Speaker 1: What was the deal with the animals?
Speaker 2: That's a legit question.
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: What what?
Speaker 2: We don't go? We're learning as we go here. I
Speaker 2: guess Andy Nyman as Governor Thropp that is Alpha Ba
Speaker 2: and Neessa Rose's father. Bow and Yang is Piphany, who
Speaker 2: was delightful every time he was on screen. And Bronwin
Speaker 2: James as Sheshen, the other half of Piphany, who are
Speaker 2: Alpha Glinda's like two right hand folks there got This
Speaker 2: movie is obviously set up to succeed based on everything
Speaker 2: we know right and has a built in audience from
Speaker 2: the stage play. But additionally, anyone that's seen The Wizard
Speaker 2: of Oz, so pretty much every person on this planet
Speaker 2: that's been born in the last hundred years, there's something
Speaker 2: here for you to like, grab onto or or be
Speaker 2: interested in.
Speaker 1: I'll also say this too, and I know that I've been,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of indifferent to most of it, but
Speaker 1: a lot of credit does need to be given to
Speaker 1: the amount of detail, costumes, choreography. I did not like
Speaker 1: the Wonka movie, but I could also.
Speaker 2: Point to I only made it two minutes in.
Speaker 1: Though I don't like the singing in the Wonka movie,
Speaker 1: I don't like Timothy Shalomey's voice, and it's super whimsical,
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's funny, like it tries to
Speaker 1: be funny by being whimsical. This movie also whimsical, but
Speaker 1: it has a little more charm and everyone here can
Speaker 1: sing yeah.
Speaker 2: So I I would say two major things here is
Speaker 2: obviously the built in audience is a thing, but also
Speaker 2: the flip side of that is, because it's so popular,
Speaker 2: the possibility of hu, the possibility of people flipping on
Speaker 2: it the way people do in popular ips existed, and
Speaker 2: they do such a good job handling this that that
Speaker 2: doesn't happen here. And number two, to your point, they
Speaker 2: got two of the best singers on the planet to
Speaker 2: play the two main roles here, and that goes a
Speaker 2: really long way because the biggest gripe that people had
Speaker 2: with this Year's Mean Girls is that Katie Heron could
Speaker 2: really sing, and that's really hard pill to swallow when
Speaker 2: it's a fucking super popular musical. So what did they do.
Speaker 2: They got Cynthia Rivo, who we've seen a handful of
Speaker 2: times before and other singing things absolutely crush it. And
Speaker 2: then one of the biggest pop stars on the planet.
Speaker 2: And I gotta say, on the point of Ariana Grande,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you were aware of her before
Speaker 2: she was a singer. I remember her from her Nickelodeon days,
Speaker 2: on Victorious on Sam and kat whatnot, so I remembered
Speaker 2: her as an actress. Think there's a lot of people
Speaker 2: on this planet, a lot of fans of her that
Speaker 2: don't really have any idea that she could act and
Speaker 2: was capable of this. To me, gou, she was by
Speaker 2: far the best part of this movie. She's what makes
Speaker 2: this story go because the character of Glinda. Glinda is
Speaker 2: so central to like being the foil to Alpha back,
Speaker 2: and that could have flipped and been really, really not good.
Speaker 2: But the way she plays this character is amazing.
Speaker 1: I did have an issue sometimes when she was singing,
Speaker 1: I couldn't understand what she was saying. She obviously has
Speaker 1: amazing vocal range, but doesn't over purposefully.
Speaker 2: A couple times she was just basically making noise, okay.
Speaker 1: And then the main question that I had throughout most
Speaker 1: of this movie is what animal would make the best obstetrician,
Speaker 1: because at the beginning of the movie we see a
Speaker 1: bear helping a woman give birth. Is the bear really
Speaker 1: the best animal to be pulling a child out of?
Speaker 2: You now agreeed on that? And I think in general
Speaker 2: to your point about the animals, this is what I
Speaker 2: couldn't stop thinking about. In a society and a culture
Speaker 2: filled with animals that are functioning in everyday society, they
Speaker 2: become mundane, I guess, although they are sort of outsider,
Speaker 2: so I get that. Why then would a green person
Speaker 2: shock people so much? If there's bears delivering babies, why
Speaker 2: would a green human being be so wild? You know?
Speaker 1: By the way, and orangutan was the answer that'd be
Speaker 1: the best obstetrician?
Speaker 2: Okay, that's not bad.
Speaker 1: Can you think of another one, something less hairy? I
Speaker 1: would thumbs, as I would say, you need thombs, you
Speaker 1: need good hands, good strong hands.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think you're all around it.
Speaker 1: Guys tweet at us right now, Let us know what
Speaker 1: animal you would let either if you're a woman, you
Speaker 1: would let help you give birth, or you would let
Speaker 1: your wife or whoever you've knocked up that animal. What
Speaker 1: animal do you want to get in there?
Speaker 2: By the way, if you've made it this far and
Speaker 2: are looking for if you're deciding between Gladiator two and
Speaker 2: Wicked this this week, this next couple of weeks, this
Speaker 2: holiday season, to me, it's not even close. The Wicked easily,
Speaker 2: and you know, Gladiator is maybe easier for the more
Speaker 2: common theater goer. If you're a fan of movies and
Speaker 2: have liked musicals in the past, it's Wicked by a mile.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you like musicals, go with Wicked. And then
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I would. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think that Gladiator too is fun enough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we gotta two is not really a recommend, it's
Speaker 2: just like, yeah, you probably won't hate it.
Speaker 1: Those are my only notes on Wicked. So the floora
Speaker 1: is yours?
Speaker 2: Do you want to get into the nanagone octagon?
Speaker 1: Sure, let's get into the noan agone fun factor. And
Speaker 1: I do agree with that. Ariana Grande, I think she
Speaker 1: is having fun and that's.
Speaker 2: Having a blast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that allows you to have fun with her.
Speaker 1: I do think I can't really remember any of the songs,
Speaker 1: but the choreography that goes with the one in the
Speaker 1: library that was pretty fun.
Speaker 2: Oh that library. That stage design, that's set fucking awesome,
Speaker 2: very cool. Yeah, Like I said, Grounde's unbelievable here. She's
Speaker 2: truly the driving force behind the movie and the fun.
Speaker 2: Arriva is great, Don't get me wrong, She's great. She's
Speaker 2: not showing as much range, I don't think, but for
Speaker 2: anyone that likes a musical, musicals are inherently fun. There's
Speaker 2: fun factor built in and if it's done well, you're
Speaker 2: you're gonna have fun. I think to your point though,
Speaker 2: the music in this movie and this is maybe what's
Speaker 2: keeping it from being like an elite level type of musical.
Speaker 2: It's not as memorable or not as catchy as it
Speaker 2: can be, and it has and it has been for
Speaker 2: other top tier musicals. I think there's two really popular
Speaker 2: song popular Wizard and I Wizard and I is good.
Speaker 2: So that was the opening number, and then define gravity
Speaker 2: obviously at the end.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So there's two maybe three that are really really good,
Speaker 2: but not really songs that are earworms. Other than popular.
Speaker 1: When you're leaving there, there's no grease lightning, there's no bowling,
Speaker 1: there is no summer Lovin Grease Lightning, go grease the
Speaker 1: CHICKSI Cream. Oh. Also, I love Jeff Goldbloom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeff Gooldbloom's obviously factor.
Speaker 1: I think some people don't like one thing about the movie,
Speaker 1: but I actually really like an origin story that we
Speaker 1: find out here. We can talk about it in spoilers.
Speaker 1: But okay, that was kind of satisfying. Other than that,
Speaker 1: though there were some I found some lulls in this
Speaker 1: movie that I could have just moved past.
Speaker 2: But I was pretty satisfied by what we got. And again, like,
Speaker 2: so this story is essentially how those two witches came
Speaker 2: to be and how they end up playing in the
Speaker 2: Wizard of Oz and their connection in some background on
Speaker 2: Oz itself. I was pretty satisfied by that. And we're
Speaker 2: only halfway through, essentially, maybe two thirds through.
Speaker 1: Do we find out in the second movie that Alphabeth's
Speaker 1: sister is also a witch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's an interesting thing there, I gotta because.
Speaker 1: She's the Wicked Witch of the West, the Wicked Witch
Speaker 1: of the East has a houseland on.
Speaker 2: Her Alphaba's sister by far the worst character in the movie.
Speaker 1: Not great, she sucked.
Speaker 2: The way she's written, the way it's acted.
Speaker 1: I find like Ron Weasley either, what the fuck the
Speaker 1: guy's name is Ariana's plus one? Yeah, speaking as a
Speaker 1: plus one, don't you dare?
Speaker 2: He's much better than Wiels, no doubt, no doubt in
Speaker 2: my mind, I think the conclusion of this movie was
Speaker 2: like the best of both worlds. We got a strong
Speaker 2: somewhat close to this part of the story while getting
Speaker 2: that leaping pad, that that that you know, that next
Speaker 2: action into the next part of the story. And to me,
Speaker 2: that's all you would needed in this part one.
Speaker 1: I would also say that, say, if you didn't want
Speaker 1: to watch part two, this serves as a jumping point
Speaker 1: just into The Wizard of Oz too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could work as well, which is why I
Speaker 2: think probably why they just called it wicked right because
Speaker 2: this it worked in and of itself.
Speaker 1: I think they called it wicked because because the character
Speaker 1: is the wicked witch of the.
Speaker 2: Web minus the Part one is what I was.
Speaker 1: Saying, Borometer, I was bored, not one second for me,
Speaker 1: not one second, Halloween. Will your love of this movie
Speaker 1: wayne over time?
Speaker 2: So I'm interested to see how this goes. I just
Speaker 2: saw it today. The things that make musicals stay in
Speaker 2: your head and continue to go on forever and make
Speaker 2: you want to watch again is truly the music. Right,
Speaker 2: You're not gonna going back to musicals for the acting,
Speaker 2: and other than defying gravity here, there's not much keeping
Speaker 2: me coming back. So I do think this will ween
Speaker 2: Wayne a little bit. So I am prepared for that.
Speaker 1: Awe quarter World. Is this film better or worse than
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety five classic water World? And for me,
Speaker 1: I'd probably rather watch water World. I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: it's better, but I'd rather watch it good.
Speaker 2: I was prepared for you answer. If you want to
Speaker 2: read what I have written here, what's that saying?
Speaker 1: And I quote, fuck you, dickhead.
Speaker 2: I was very prepared for your for your answer on this.
Speaker 1: One credit union Mac, who are you giving credit to?
Speaker 2: I've talked about it sixteen times already. Are in a
Speaker 2: grande to the eth degree here. She's phenomenal and I
Speaker 2: don't think anyone, I don't think any of us have
Speaker 2: ever seen her displaying this sort of talent. And obviously
Speaker 2: she's a phenomenal singer. We saw her on Nickelodeon shows.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen her act this well ever in my
Speaker 2: whole life, and she's tasked with doing a lot. Here.
Speaker 2: She's showing the most emotion. She's singing and dancing obviously
Speaker 2: live on set. Her character obviously is super unique and
Speaker 2: interesting and quarcky bright. Yeah, and she's able to pull
Speaker 2: all of those notes off. The little hair flips were
Speaker 2: just such a good touch. Like, she's great, she's phenomenal on.
Speaker 1: This and honestly, that's fine.
Speaker 2: She doesn't get nominated for everything she should be nominated for.
Speaker 2: She should win awards for this role good.
Speaker 1: She might win a Golden Globe in the category of
Speaker 1: comedy or music Music I would say that's where she might. Like.
Speaker 1: I don't think she's gonna get like an oscar or
Speaker 1: anything for this.
Speaker 2: She should be nominated, though she absolutely should be.
Speaker 1: Do any of the songs qualify for an oscar because
Speaker 1: they're not original?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there might have been an original number in here,
Speaker 2: but we wouldn't know.
Speaker 1: Just to sneak it in to get an oscar.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's probably why.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, uh, Plembonade. When life gives you plemins Jesse,
Speaker 1: plemonade makes you Lemonade and Chew. I think that Chu
Speaker 1: did a great job of having this bright. I don't
Speaker 1: always love the tint of the movie. I think sometimes
Speaker 1: it looks a little too processed for me. But this
Speaker 1: all looks like one movie.
Speaker 2: Go Bloom obviously, but he is always an obvious candidate
Speaker 2: for Plemonade. I thought Bowen Yang was very funny every
Speaker 2: time he said something. And I don't know, I don't
Speaker 2: know if I just didn't know Bowen Yang was in
Speaker 2: this movie. I was like happy to.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't see it. Yeah, I didn't know either. Also,
Speaker 1: I just flipped the things around. I'm giving credit Union
Speaker 1: to Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't gonna call you out on that.
Speaker 1: No, call me out next time, go ahead do it.
Speaker 2: Oh and Yang right at the very beginning too, it's
Speaker 2: like we need a pastry, get her a pastry that
Speaker 2: killed me. Everything he said was very funny.
Speaker 1: Pants tent City, Excite, bike Mania, What got you going
Speaker 1: in this movie? Like I said, there is a twenty
Speaker 1: ish minute stretch where there's no real music and it's
Speaker 1: just them laying down what their plans are. And we
Speaker 1: got the origin to something that I, for some reason
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting but I was like, shit, I like that.
Speaker 2: Yep. I think that's a good point. So my two
Speaker 2: major issues here gu is that the music isn't as
Speaker 2: elite as the best musical get to and maybe theoter
Speaker 2: nerds can argue it I have a read it if
Speaker 2: they would like the second thing there is. I do
Speaker 2: think the conclusion is pants tent ish, but it is
Speaker 2: sort of lacking that tent pole scene right. The end
Speaker 2: number is very good, borderline great. I really enjoyed it,
Speaker 2: but outside of that, it does quite have anything like that.
Speaker 1: For those of you tarty to the Mac and Goop party,
Speaker 1: we rate everything on a forty hot dog rating system.
Speaker 1: Mac I shall be short and sweet, unlike this movie
Speaker 1: and it's songs.
Speaker 2: Fuck you.
Speaker 1: I hate doing this. I'm not the audience for this movie.
Speaker 1: I hate saying I.
Speaker 2: Don't fret about that, because there's listeners we have here.
Speaker 2: There's probably people listening right now that feel very much
Speaker 2: like you. There are certainly musicals that people just aren't
Speaker 2: musical people. And then on top of it, I think
Speaker 2: a movie like this draws people to it that naturally
Speaker 2: aren't into musicals, but they're like, oh, it's so popular,
Speaker 2: I'll go see it, and I think that's sort of
Speaker 2: where you're at.
Speaker 1: I need a shorter story, I need shorter, punchier songs.
Speaker 1: I also like a more realistic look to what I'm watching.
Speaker 1: This didn't have that realistic look. The whole animal storyline
Speaker 1: I didn't really care for. I thought both of the
Speaker 1: leads were great. A lot of the supporting actors were
Speaker 1: also very good. None of the songs really stuck with me,
Speaker 1: and just that run time man I felt it and
Speaker 1: dear Lord so well. I do think it's better than say,
Speaker 1: Wonka that came out last year. That was a real
Speaker 1: tough sit through. I'm not allowed to give it an
Speaker 1: NA right and not applicable no, No twenty seven hot.
Speaker 2: Dogs Okay, so like C minus Yeah. Range for the
Speaker 2: folks at home, For people that are maybe feeling similar
Speaker 2: to you, what's the lead mark, what's the leader in
Speaker 2: the clubhouse? For somewhat modern musicals you look to obviously
Speaker 2: we all like Greece. Would it be like a Starsborn
Speaker 2: type of thing for you?
Speaker 1: That wasn't really a musical though, that's more of a
Speaker 1: of a pop musical than anything else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, but I mean it is a musical. I
Speaker 2: mean there's a whole album that they play throughout the movie.
Speaker 2: You know, what would you look to?
Speaker 1: I like that because I didn't really like Chicago. Dream
Speaker 1: Girls wasn't for me. Cabaret is from a while ago.
Speaker 1: I do like Cabaret. I hated La La Land.
Speaker 2: Yeah, La La Land's stunk was the one. And I'm
Speaker 2: a musical guy and I didn't like a lot of
Speaker 2: the land.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: What's the one with Christina Aguilera and cher Moulin Rouge.
Speaker 1: No, because they weren't in that.
Speaker 2: That's Nicole Kidman.
Speaker 1: Oh dream Girls. That wasn't dream Girls.
Speaker 2: No dream Girls.
Speaker 1: No, I know what it is. Damn it share Christina
Speaker 1: Aguilera because it's terrible.
Speaker 2: They might be rebooting it.
Speaker 1: I think it's Oh burlesque. That's actually the first episode
Speaker 1: of how did this get made?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Interesting? Very interesting? Uh cup wicked to me? And this
Speaker 2: is I'll talk about the non musical part real quick
Speaker 2: to me. The story is inherently interesting, intriguing. It's a
Speaker 2: story of contrast, you know, rich poor, high low left right,
Speaker 2: complete opposites between Alphaba and Glinda. That works so well,
Speaker 2: and I think that gets punched up because of the
Speaker 2: performance from Ariana Grande. I was particularly gripped by it
Speaker 2: because I think I'm actually the audience for this movie,
Speaker 2: more so than the people that loved the player read
Speaker 2: the book. I was particularly gripped by the story because
Speaker 2: I don't actually know what happens in the story, so
Speaker 2: I come into it wanting to like it because I
Speaker 2: love the Wizard of Oz and I know the end game,
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to figure out everything in between. So
Speaker 2: it keeps you intrigued as to what will come. So
Speaker 2: I think I'm I'm the ideal audience for this movie.
Speaker 2: The practice sets, the practical sets are really good. They
Speaker 2: don't use a ton of CGI in here. The costumes
Speaker 2: are very good. All that shit has done really well,
Speaker 2: and that's credit to John Chew for sure. Although the
Speaker 2: music isn't the most memorable outside of popular and defying gravity,
Speaker 2: I don't think it distracts from the movie. It works
Speaker 2: with context, very well done. I think the best scene
Speaker 2: outside of the conclusion is that library scene. The library
Speaker 2: is fucking super cool, very cool, spin and shit. That
Speaker 2: thing was awesome to me. This movie flies by two
Speaker 2: and a half hours felt like one and a half
Speaker 2: for comparison, Gladiator two is almost the exact same length,
Speaker 2: and that felt like five hours. That felt twice as
Speaker 2: long to me. There's no time wasting in here. You disagree.
Speaker 2: This is my number five movie on the year. Gu
Speaker 2: I have this at thirty six. Hot Dogs might go
Speaker 2: up one at mic go down one. I think I've
Speaker 2: seen thirty seven movies on the year, so it's it
Speaker 2: is firmly up there. It does have a chance to,
Speaker 2: like I said, Linger, maybe go up a spot, maybe
Speaker 2: go down a spot. It's one of the best musicals
Speaker 2: I've seen in a long time, and I'm really really
Speaker 2: looking forward to part two. They gave you enough in
Speaker 2: this movie to satisfy you and keeps you intrigued as
Speaker 2: to what the second part is going to be the
Speaker 2: conclusion to this story. And ultimately this feels like even
Speaker 2: though it's a part one and part two, this movie
Speaker 2: probably feels like the first two acts of the full story, right,
Speaker 2: Like the second movie is going to be the third act,
Speaker 2: you know, drawn out, a.
Speaker 1: Little, stretched out, super long. Also, I don't care for
Speaker 1: The Phantom of the Opera, but I like the Iron
Speaker 1: Maiden medley from that musical. It's very good.
Speaker 2: Big musical guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's guy. Should we do a little bit of spoilers?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't really have anything.
Speaker 1: I have two things here. I love the Flying Monkeys.
Speaker 2: Five Monkeys are great.
Speaker 1: They gave me a jump scare.
Speaker 2: And you know what, one of the most intriguing things
Speaker 2: is going forward is how Alpha Ba gains trust of
Speaker 2: the Flying Monkeys.
Speaker 1: Right. Also, so she is, by the way, she's the
Speaker 1: good guy in this she is.
Speaker 2: So I guess the main spoiler here is this movie.
Speaker 2: This this story flips everything we expect on its head.
Speaker 2: And you know what, Glinda's not even really the bad guy.
Speaker 2: She's sort of the third party operating outside of.
Speaker 1: What this makes though, is that Dorothy is the bad
Speaker 1: guy because Dorothy kills the good guy Glinda.
Speaker 2: And this is why I love Ariana Grande so much,
Speaker 2: because if she the first half of the movie, if
Speaker 2: she plays that role the whole time, one note is
Speaker 2: what it is does a good job. But when she
Speaker 2: makes that flip and her and Alpha BA actually get along, dude,
Speaker 2: Aarona ground, that's such a good job. I can't I
Speaker 2: can't underscore it enough. Like if she doesn't get nominated
Speaker 2: for everything, it's a disservice. She's incredible in this movie.
Speaker 2: She's so good.
Speaker 1: So for the wicked Witch of the West to love
Speaker 1: animals and trying to protect their freedom. She also tortures
Speaker 1: a ton of monkey servants, not on purpose, but she
Speaker 1: did it, so that's on her soul.
Speaker 2: But also maybe they ultimately wanted it. It's small, small
Speaker 2: torture for you.
Speaker 1: I feel like one of the monkeys wanted it. The
Speaker 1: other ones all just got dragged in.
Speaker 2: The other ones are like, fucking Dave said something about wings.
Speaker 2: Now we all got wings.
Speaker 1: Ay, this guy's always talking about floating and now we're
Speaker 1: all stuck with wings.
Speaker 2: I thought it was a very good reveal, even though
Speaker 2: we knew it was coming. To figure out the Wizard
Speaker 2: of Oz clearly doesn't have any powers. I think it's
Speaker 2: still unclear. We assume not. But Michelle Yeo's character also
Speaker 2: doesn't have powers.
Speaker 1: Right, No, she does not. She was just there to trick.
Speaker 2: But eventually Glinda does have powers.
Speaker 1: Or does Glinda in the way of the Wizard and deceive.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe, So that's one of the big questions going forward.
Speaker 2: So the first five minutes of this movie is Munchkintown.
Speaker 1: Well, also an Easter Egg of the Yellow Brick Road
Speaker 1: in Dorothy, Scarecrow, ten Man, and Lion, Yeah, walking on it.
Speaker 2: So the first five minutes is everyone's celebrating the death
Speaker 2: of Alphaba, and Glinda's there to celebrate as well. So
Speaker 2: you're like, how do we get from the end of
Speaker 2: this movie? So back there? Like what happens exactly? And moreover,
Speaker 2: does Glinda actually have powers? Because and the Wizard of
Speaker 2: Us she does.
Speaker 1: And also in this she's using some kind of a
Speaker 1: floating transportation and a bubble that goes over it with
Speaker 1: a lot of physical action with it. So I'm not
Speaker 1: even sure if she has any powers. Yeah, she may,
Speaker 1: though she also might not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so I'm interested because we know endgame Wizard
Speaker 2: of Oz exit all three exist other than Morrible, so
Speaker 2: maybe they kill Morrible at the end of two's character.
Speaker 1: Oh, I was like, I don't know who Morrible is,
Speaker 1: Madam Morrable. And then also the entire animal storyline, I
Speaker 1: did not need it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you understand why it's there, right, It's Alphaba
Speaker 2: identifies with their plight and it just it works for me.
Speaker 2: But I get what you're saying. It's it's a lot,
Speaker 2: it's on the nose Goo. You know who I really liked.
Speaker 2: We have who is Sierra the love interest of Glinda.
Speaker 2: That little tid that's a nice little thing they threw
Speaker 2: in there as well, and another job well done by
Speaker 2: Ariana and those scenes. I just really liked what this
Speaker 2: movie did and what it sets up and go. When
Speaker 2: we talked about this a few days ago, when you
Speaker 2: had already seen it, It's not like I was super
Speaker 2: excited for this. I wasn't down. I was just like
Speaker 2: kind of went in middling. I was expecting to enjoy it,
Speaker 2: not love it. I bort Aline loved this movie. I
Speaker 2: fucking really really enjoyed my time.
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I'm happy for you. Thanks, Thanks man
Speaker 1: Easter egg Do you think that the baby lion that
Speaker 1: was saved by Alphaba and that gentleman Sierra, because the
Speaker 1: lion's a little scared, does that lion turn into the
Speaker 1: cowardly lion?
Speaker 2: I didn't think about this. You mentioned this to me
Speaker 2: right before we started recording. That's a great little tidbit there.
Speaker 2: It's gotta be right.
Speaker 1: And that's why I went and saw this. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm just looking there for Easter eggs. Get my peepers.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed that. I enjoy that little thing, and I'm
Speaker 2: looking forward to I'm sure there'll be a new rock
Speaker 2: Stars breakdown or something like that. We'll point out more shit
Speaker 2: like that. And I'm also looking forward to trying to
Speaker 2: avoid as many spoilers as I can about the book
Speaker 2: and this story and the stage play, so I can
Speaker 2: go into the second movie as raw as I did
Speaker 2: for this movie.
Speaker 1: Don't say it like that. They're not gonna like it,
Speaker 1: rock They're not gonna let you into the theater next time.
Speaker 2: I am here for the raw version. No get out, sir,
Speaker 2: Let's get into.
Speaker 1: And MAXAK could be anything. It could be a boat.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this earlier. By the way, if
Speaker 1: any of our listeners name their boats a sack, please
Speaker 1: send that in.
Speaker 2: You think people listening to us got boats?
Speaker 1: Come on, I've always been told that the buying a
Speaker 1: boat is the worst investment possible. Once it hits the water,
Speaker 1: half its price right there.
Speaker 2: I mean that's a car. Boats were similar.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, Once a car hits the water,
Speaker 1: all of its value was gone.
Speaker 2: At least boats can last like forty fifty years, So
Speaker 2: I mean you get that going for it. I almost
Speaker 2: bought a boat when I was like twenty four with
Speaker 2: one of my old college roommates. We were both young lads, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: no'll be sick having chicks on a boat. Neither of
Speaker 2: us knew.
Speaker 1: Because of the implications.
Speaker 2: We knew nothing, no one. We didn't know how to
Speaker 2: drive the boat. We didn't know where to get a boat.
Speaker 2: We didn't we didn't know a fucking thing about boats.
Speaker 2: But we were like, let's split a boat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say on that. When I was like
Speaker 1: roughly twenty and I was an electrician just looking to
Speaker 1: burn my money, I was like, I kind of want
Speaker 1: to buy a boat. Luckily I did not do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have been happy to party on your boat, though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have been a fishing vessel. I would
Speaker 1: have shrimp on there.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's funy. I mean, that's the type of people
Speaker 2: we were in our early mid twenties. We were looking
Speaker 2: to buy boats just to party on for no other reason.
Speaker 1: I was gonna fish. I wasn't gonna party. I was
Speaker 1: gonna fish. Sure, Yeah, all right, Mac, your sack could
Speaker 1: be anything In this week. Famously, there was a one
Speaker 1: line movie blurb that went viral, and this was a
Speaker 1: description of The Wizard of Oz in nineteen ninety eight
Speaker 1: on TMC turn a movie classic. Do you want to
Speaker 1: hear what it was? Sure transported to a surreal landscape.
Speaker 1: A young girl kills the first person she meets, and
Speaker 1: then teams up with three strangers to kill again.
Speaker 2: I love that. I absolutely love that. I don't I
Speaker 2: don't think we could do an episode out of it,
Speaker 2: but I think maybe going forward, if you could find
Speaker 2: things like this. Oh tell me, really try to guess
Speaker 2: the movie? Is that? What this is?
Speaker 1: Let's play guess that movie. I have here some TV
Speaker 1: guide descriptions and one from direct TV mac. I will
Speaker 1: describe a movie from the TV guide. You will tell
Speaker 1: me what that movie is. I have three here. Let's
Speaker 1: see how well you do.
Speaker 2: Probably not well.
Speaker 1: Can you give me the year early nineties? Okay, that helps.
Speaker 2: I'm cool with that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: A kid's gul becomes possessed by the soul of a
Speaker 1: serial killer. Most likely the serial killer's soul would have
Speaker 1: rather have possessed a Rottweiler or a wolverine. But there
Speaker 1: you go.
Speaker 2: It's chucky and I think it's like nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 1: You are correct.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't a nineties movie.
Speaker 1: Well I'm so I said early nineties that good enough
Speaker 1: gives you a huge window. So shut up one for one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, credit to me.
Speaker 1: Blank is about dreaming about dreaming about dreaming about dreaming
Speaker 1: about something or other. I shall asleep.
Speaker 2: That is correct, you fell asleep during inception.
Speaker 1: I didn't write this, Oh. TV guide wrote that.
Speaker 2: Gotcha, got fuck that guy.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the final one. This one's from Direct TV.
Speaker 1: The characters may seem cool, but they are lawbreakers and troublesome.
Speaker 1: They don't act responsibly, and they leave a trail of
Speaker 1: violence without consequences. On the plus side, they do value
Speaker 1: family and they work well together.
Speaker 2: This makes me think of a family. Can give it
Speaker 2: to me one more time.
Speaker 1: The characters may seem cool, but they are lawbreakers and troublesome.
Speaker 1: They don't act responsibly, and they leave a trail of
Speaker 1: violence without consequences. On the plus side, they do value
Speaker 1: family and they work well together.
Speaker 2: Can you give me a decade?
Speaker 1: Two thousands, twenty tens?
Speaker 2: There are different decades. It's not gonna help me.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's years.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
