Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome to another out live episode of
Hack the Movies. We got a very special episode uh today.
I can't wait to talk about this wonderful film. I
gotta fix my headroom on this camera here. Should have
done that before. God knows, I had enough time setting
up because someone was late. Hello, Manny muskets Hi, Tony,
how are you doing?
Speaker 2: I'm doing great? Thank you?
Speaker 3: Finished?
Speaker 2: You had to start on cold people time because I
just finished a movie five minutes ago.
Speaker 1: Mandy, why couldn't you be a professional like me and
finish it an hour ago? I mean, come on, come on, I.
Speaker 2: Wasn't expected to be two hours and ten minutes long,
by the way.
Speaker 1: I I agree, I did not expect it to be
that long as well, and I went oh oh oh
no oh no oh, like oh, I started to regret this.
And we're gonna talk about what makes this movie feel longer,
and one of those things is, uh, just no cutting
to close ups or medium shots, just static wide shots
the whole time. It really makes the movie feel way longer. Yeah, Manny,
I don't know what's going on my camera lately, but
someone left me a comment here saying that I'm very
saturated but I'm not going to read that comment verbatim
because it didn't come in the form of a super chat.
That's right, Please get your super chats in. I don't
know why I'm so saturated. I don't know what I
did to my camera recently. Hold on, do I have
a visual? I have enhanced skin appearance on. I just
turned it off, but I'm still I don't know what's
going on. Oh, I have the pop feature on now
I look normal.
Speaker 2: Okay, I thought you were just technicoler To us, it
was Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, I'm gonna put it back to pop.
There you go, I pop. Yes, today we will be
talking about the Whiz of course, for Black Music Month, Manny.
By the way, I forgot last year that they changed
the name. I looked like an idiot last year, Manny
calling it African American Music Appreciation Month. I forgot that
it's now Black Music Month. I know last year you
said that none of the fans were wishing you a
happy Black Music Month. They didn't recommend any songs. I'm
sure this year was very different. How is your Black
Music Month going?
Speaker 2: People kept recommending me Drake, which doesn't count as black music, So.
Speaker 1: Wheelchair Jimmy from the GROSSI, yes, No, guys, that doesn't count.
That doesn't count.
Speaker 3: Do you have any black mus to recommend to us?
Speaker 2: Doom?
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go, There you go, guys. No Kanye
this year, did he get to controversial for you?
Speaker 2: Also, Kanye, did.
Speaker 1: You see that kid who quoted Kanye in his graduations?
Speaker 2: Yes? And then a woman right afterwards, try.
Speaker 1: To white woman got mad at this guy for quoting
a black man. Yeah, because apparently you know the quote.
He said something controversial, but you read that part of
the quote, So I think he should get off for Yeah,
have they fucking dying? Because I forgot what the context was.
So it's just like, that was actually a really nice quote.
Why is this lady complaining? And then I looked at
the clip, I'm like, oh, I can see why she
be mad, But that's kind of like you slide it
under the radar and the old people don't notice and
you laugh at them. She had to ruin it anyway,
the whiz. But first off, we got to mention, Oh, sorry,
I forgot. Did I already do the Lauren cameo? I didn't.
It's also Pride month, Manny did you know.
Speaker 2: That I've heard, You've heard.
Speaker 3: Well, Laurence Soda decided.
Speaker 1: She said she wanted to call in and she has
a Pride Month message for all of us. Every man
should just become gay. Don't exactly agree with it, but
I'm I'm glad she's voicing her First Amendment and her
freedom of speech. Man, I don't know if you notice
the shirt that I'm wearing right now. No, I'm way
too blood this is can't I full scream myself?
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 1: Black musician afro Man saved the First Amendment this year.
He was sued by his local police department who raided
his house and broke his gate.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: He fired back at that with really funny songs and
they took him to Churt over it and he won.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lemon pound takes the real lebn po.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's under the boardwalk, but it's so great
my sister. I had to tell my sister about that.
She started singing the songs to the baby at night.
I sent her a TikTok of someone doing that.
Speaker 3: She's like, I've been singing Lemon pound Cake to Sofia.
Speaker 2: Like, how you raise.
Speaker 1: Anyway? Sign up for Patreon. We got a lot of
cool things happening over on Patreon. We got the two
dollars tier, five dollars, Tier, ten dollars tier. It's cheaper
if you do it annually. Uh, subscribe for free and
you get all the free videos and the free podcast feed.
That way, you never miss anything, Manny. All my videos
are there.
Speaker 3: You no longer have to rely on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Who will sometimes be like, naw, you don't want to
know what the newest hack the movies is. Here's a
song you two ten years ago. For some reason, that's
been happening to me a lot lately. They're like, here's
a song and I'm like, I listen to that ten
years ago? What the fuck?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I got what does the Fox say the other day?
Speaker 1: And actually, you can gift a membership And I forgot
a fan gifted a membership recently and I will be
putting that in the comments at some point, and it's
first come, first serve for that membership. So stay tuned
till later for that. Uh, grab it while you can,
so you can always buy memberships for people who are
less fortunate, Manny.
Speaker 2: Oh for your pops if since Father's Day is coming up.
Speaker 1: I can't think of a thing a father would love
more than a hack the movie's Patreon subscription. It really
is the best over on Patreon. We have a commentary
track for the original he Man movie, which is a
mess which the anti woke sphere was pretending to like.
But then it turns out people actually liked the new
he Man, so they've had to like refigure everything, like,
oh wait, no, the new one was actually good. They
were all going all in like eighty seven was a
class like, like no, what he Man fans hated that movie?
Why are you pretending to like it?
Speaker 2: Anyway?
Speaker 1: Did a really good commentary track for that. Did a
bonus video for a movie called Dolly. Go to our
merch store, pick up a shirt book me on cameo
and yes, if you live in the PA area, Pennsylvania,
you will see me at VHS Fest X at the
mahone and Drive in July tenth to twelfth, and then
you will see me at Street Fighter the movie the
screening on July nineteenth with Joey C and Kaylee for
the Rochester Comedy Festival at the Photo City Music Hall.
You can get tickets for that now. I should probably
link the tickets in the chat as well, I'm just
doing great here tonight, r and I, Manny, I'm just
firing on all cylinders tonight.
Speaker 2: Hey, it's it's food teenth June teenth?
Speaker 3: Is is that tomorrow?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: On Vinnie Poulino's birthday. Which what are you celebrating, man.
Speaker 2: He's a black man that counts.
Speaker 1: He's Italian.
Speaker 3: He's Italian.
Speaker 1: And then in August you will see me at Sci
Fi horror Fest. The Crystal will be there with me.
I'm I'm actually gonna post a link to the tickets
for the festival in the comments. Now, if you're in
the Rochester area or you want to travel around, I
can't think of anywhere people would want to go more
than Rochester, New York, Right, Manny.
Speaker 2: If you can get there, you've got nothing better to do.
Speaker 1: Last time I perform, I didn't perform Rochester. Last time
I went to Rochester, I think like twenty cars got
broken into the parking lot. Anyway, Manny, we got to
talk about The Wiz.
Speaker 2: Great movie. I wouldn't he even call it a movie.
It's a guide to live by.
Speaker 3: That's right, I said, Manny.
Speaker 1: We have to do The Wiz. It's a black Wizard
of Oz and he responded, it's the best Wizard of
Oz ever.
Speaker 3: And I went, Manny, did you watch it?
Speaker 1: He went, no, But I've already decided it's the best
Wizard of Uz ever because right now, Manny, think about it, like,
the Wicked movies are doing really really well. Black person
in there and they made them green. Yeah, Michael Jackson
movie that's doing really really well. If only there was
a movie that did both. The Whizz started off as
a play. I believe it might have been a book,
but it's definitely like a parody of the famous book
The Wizard of Oz, which is public domain. But someone
made play and the Motown Barry Gordy decided we got
to turn this into a movie, and Manny, the Whiz
has become an important part of black culture and black cinema,
and it's all thanks to the white director and the
white writer and the white producer, which, by the way,
the white producer directed Dragonheart, which I reviewed recently. He
also did Fast and the Furious and Triple X. He
did a lot of movies, and I was wondering, like,
why wasn't the thirtieth anniversary or dragon Heart a big deal?
Why haven't I seen anything about Rob Cohen in a while,
and then I looked him up. Turns out he has
some allegations. Oops, so that's why we haven't heard from
our boy Rob Cohen in a long time. This movie
stars Tyana Ross, who I think Quincy Jones or Barry
Gordy they didn't want in this movie. Now you might
be wondering, Manny, why didn't they want Tyana Ross from
the Supremes, who were a huge musical talent to be
in this movie. Do you know why?
Speaker 2: No clue?
Speaker 1: Why did you hear the part where the character said
that she's twenty four years old?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well Diana Ross was thirty three, so the Brucers
was like, no, she's way too old for this ancient
Diana Ross really wanted to be in this, so she
went to producer Rob Cohen and She's like, tell them
you'll only produce it if I'm in it, and then
Rob con was like okay, So he basically went back
and he's like, I'm only gonna produce this movie if
Diana Ross is in it. And they were like fuck,
all right, Well Diana Ross could be in it, but
they didn't even like, there's no reason she has to
be twenty four in the story of the movie.
Speaker 2: No, I mean herbieg broke teacher and not having to
life figured out at thirty three. He's kind of pathetic,
but I'm broke at thirty three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just saying. Actually, if anything, the movie would
have been been ahead of its time if they went
down that round. So yeah, she managed to get into
it now her And by the way, the writer was
Joel Schumacher, a very famous writer and director. He did
Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. He's also done a
million other great movies like The Lost Boys, people like
Saint Elmo's Fire. The director of this movie did Dog
Day Afternoon and a bunch of other big hits, so
they had a good team behind us him. Joel Schumacher
and Diana Ross were a big fan of the.
Speaker 3: Errard Seminar training.
Speaker 1: It was like this thing that was very popular in
the seventies and it was all about like finding yourself
and solving your own problems with self reflection or some
weird thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds like a plea coast of scientology.
Speaker 1: It was actually post scientology, but they were all in
on the eest or s as they called it. It
was like a big movement. It was very I actually
looked into this and it got like parodied a bunch
like Burt Reynolds is in a movie that makes fun
of this movement. But they were very, very into it.
And Rob Cohen, the producer, was actually annoyed because they
kept working in all the ideology into the script, so
he was really annoyed. And I kept reading that. I
was like Erard's seminar training. I'm like, what is that?
Why does that sound familiar? And I looked it up.
It no longer exists today because it got turned into
the Landmark Forum. Have you heard of the Landmark Forum. No. Basically,
the people who followed the previous guy made their own thing.
Speaker 3: It's not quite a cult.
Speaker 1: It's not quite a cult because there isn't really a
religious leader. But it's pretty close to a cult. And
I was cracking up because I actually worked for someone
who was in the Landmark Forum and they talked about
it all the time, and they wanted to recruit everyone
at work into it. We're like, no, we're good. Were good.
Speaker 2: It still sounds like scientology. It is.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit like that. I don't think it
was ever as popular as scientology.
Speaker 2: Oh no, the Eastern stand and time zone. It's pretty popular.
Speaker 1: No different thing. It's the error in seminar training. No
offense to anyone who's in the Landmark forum who might
be in the chat. If it works for you, that's great,
But it has been criticized because they try to get
you to as you see here, they don't do any advertising.
They pressure members to recruit family members and friends or
am my case, co workers.
Speaker 2: I will send a business that work like that.
Speaker 3: Oh really, are you at liberty to say?
Speaker 2: Or uh, yeah, it was called Amway.
Speaker 1: You signed up for Amway.
Speaker 2: I went to a few meetings.
Speaker 1: How are people still getting rouped into Amway? That's like
it'd be different if it's like a new thing. But
that's like the most famous multi level.
Speaker 2: I showed up just long enough to get a bunch
of free inventory, and then I didn't find anyone up
and left.
Speaker 1: Anyway. Uh so, yeah, the teachings of maybe a cult.
Not quite. Uh let's let's if the lawyers are watching,
we're not saying it is. It's been criticized and compared
to one uh worked its way into the script for
The Whiz Now, the which We're called. The director really
wanted Jimmy Walker from Good Times to be the scarecrow
in this movie, the title MIKEE Guy. He really wanted
him to be in it, Manny right, Yeah, but the
studio was just insistent that he hired this young kid
who he referred to as a Vegas sideshow act.
Speaker 3: Not a big deal.
Speaker 1: He didn't think this guy the studio won it was
anything special. And of course that guy was eighteen year
old Michael Jackson, who would end up being the most
popular man of all time, famous and infamous depending on
what you think of him.
Speaker 3: Man of all time.
Speaker 2: Well was to be already a superstar for like ten
years by.
Speaker 1: That point, and I think I think his dad was
warried that him being in a movie and stuff would
hurt the reputation of the Jacksons, because that was like
his whole thing. You wanted to like keep the family together,
and Michael was like, I gotta be on my own.
At this point, all the Jacksons except for Jermaine, left
Motown Records, so you know, Michael went back and he's like, hey,
I'll do this movie. I really want to be in
this and he loved being in this movie. He worked
with the effects legend Stan Winston, and most actors usually
hate being a makeup. He loved the makeup and everything,
so he got the role of the scarecrow. Let me
just pull up the rest of the cast. I gotta
make sure I remember who played who he got nip
See Russell as the tin man, and who played the lion?
Do you remember who played the lion? Does it say here?
Speaker 2: I do not remember, But I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: Ted Ross Ted Ross played the lion.
Speaker 1: Sorry, so, yeah, Many, When did you first see the Whizz?
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure my dad sat me down and tried
to watch it at like some age I can barely remember.
But the first time that I remember seeing it all
the way through was about half an hour ago.
Speaker 1: At this point, you don't put the Wiz on all
the time. Many you haven't seen the play multiple times.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna sit my kids down and make
them watch it.
Speaker 1: But I will say, apparently so people really love the play,
and I think they did a live broadcast of the
play like ten years back or something.
Speaker 3: But the movie Joel Schumacher shocked.
Speaker 1: Schumacher purposely just didn't look at the play, and he
saw the play, and he chose not to actually adapt it,
so he just kind of wrote his own thing. So
fans of the play are like, this is a very
loose adaptation, doesn't really have much to do with it,
to the point it's like, why are we even making this?
Speaker 3: Have you've seen any Wizard of Oz?
Speaker 2: Imagine getting pissed at an adaptation of an adaptation.
Speaker 3: Of Have you seen any Wizard of Oz?
Speaker 2: I definitely saw like the original multiple times as a kid,
but I don't remember it either.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this one is pretty much the same.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. The plot is just a metaphor for
the gold standard.
Speaker 1: Wait were you not?
Speaker 3: You weren't?
Speaker 1: A lady hasn't forced you to see the Wicked movies
in theaters?
Speaker 2: No? I swore off ladies around the time those came out.
Speaker 1: Good job, that's my favorite thing. People like you see Wicked.
I'm like, I'm single as hell. Woman's gonna drag me
to see Wicked? What are you talking about anymore? Yeah,
Arianna grand how you said that? A Krande.
Speaker 2: Venti? Who cares?
Speaker 1: Arianna Vente?
Speaker 2: That's Britney's cousin, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you ai Britney Venti. It's a wicked, like the
only way I watch see. Let's talk about this film.
It opens up with a pride mural.
Speaker 3: Uh you can see there, uh.
Speaker 1: But it's basically a painting that shows you all the
stuff you're gonna see in the movie, which is just
New York kind of yea, and Glinda the Goodwitch with
her weird floating babies that were fair By the way,
this should count as like liminal horror, like everyone's real
into the back rooms and how it nixes different things
like this is like the ultimate limital harm because it's
like a regular city, but then it's mixed with other shit.
There's like genuinely creepy, disturbing moments of this film, and
I don't think they were meant to be.
Speaker 3: It's just the way it's shot.
Speaker 1: If this movie shot like shit, I mean there's beautiful
mat paintings and stuff, but like the camera work is
really poor, so some of the stuff that's meant to
be whimsical and funny just comes off looking horrifying most
of the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, it was shot so badly I thought it
was a recording of the play. At SOT points.
Speaker 1: Exactly we're gonna get in when we get into like
a lot of like the dance numbers. I don't know,
that's like the most important thing in the movie. And
they drop the ball on it and I don't know why. Uh,
but yeah, we open up in somewhere in New York,
Harlem maybe.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very snowy, so it's winter time. I think
it's Thanksgiving actually, because they're pulling a turkey. Yeah the oven.
Speaker 2: They seizoned the hell out of that turkey.
Speaker 1: Well you're supposed to season it, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, but it was like way flavored up.
Speaker 3: I thought you I.
Speaker 1: Thought only what I thought. We were supposed to season
it like stuff. That's what white people are told all
the time.
Speaker 2: I mean, you are supposed to see. But they made
a point of season like, yeah, this is black as hell,
Like if it came out it came out today, it
would be a cool laid apple.
Speaker 1: Remember remember when that Mexican lady got criticized for not
seasoning stuff and she had to explain to black TikTok
what seasoning was and they all wanted to yell at
her because but then she wasn't white and they didn't
know what to do. That was like one of the
funniest things. Look up that video. It's really funny anyway. Uh,
Dorothy's sad even though her aunt's trying to hook her
up with a nice young gentleman there. She's just really
sad about something. Did we never learned what she's said about?
Speaker 5: Do we?
Speaker 2: No mand come been relevant at the end of the
movie at all?
Speaker 1: No? We like we're never told why she is the
way she is. I assume her parents are dead. Is
that something.
Speaker 2: Baby was that she just never came out the house
And I guess she didn't.
Speaker 1: Yes, I guess she's afraid to progress and move on
and she has to find her inner strength or whatever
else she learned at that seminar. But like in the original,
like Darthy, I guess she lives with her aunt. Uh,
but like the lady wants to kill Toto and like
Toto's gonna be put down and she's sad about it.
Like there's reasons for Darthy to be sad and want
to get away from where she is here.
Speaker 3: It's just like, Yeah, she's really sad, isn't she?
Speaker 1: You figure out why? Like why don't you just tell us? Movie?
Speaker 2: I just assumed one of her students got shot.
Speaker 1: I don't know why you would assume something like that. Man, uh,
but some lady brings a baby to the party. I
love these guys trying to play checkers and they have
to move the fucking board and they smell. He's like
every single time, it's like, why are you guys? Keep
playing checkers? You know you're gonna have to move it.
At some point we get to meet Toto, who I
think should have been renamed Tito another act in reference
I was. I was really upset it wasn't Tito.
Speaker 2: That just what my first thing I noticed was that
it was some black dog somehow like that.
Speaker 1: I think Toto was a black dog, you know what,
you know what they should have it should have been
a white dog. They should have just flipped everything. And
then we get our first song, which is something hold on,
what was the name of this fucking song? It was
like the feelings we felt or some stupid bullshit, A
terrible slow paced song to start off the feeling that
we had, and it's literally just the ant being like, man,
remember the past, Things sure are different.
Speaker 2: Yeah the song. Was not a fan of the movie
at this point at all.
Speaker 1: I like the choreography of just them all around the table,
swaying back and forth in the most claustrophobic, fucking uh
dining room I've ever seen. And then they're all singing
out of sync and Darthy's like, I gotta get the
fuck away from these people. I don't know how to
sing for.
Speaker 2: The say, claustrophobic. That's a mansion in New York.
Speaker 1: It is when we have like fifty people in there.
It's just like, ah, so yeah, she pulls out a
cake and then she sings a song called Can I
Go On?
Speaker 2: This movie always doubled up on the songs.
Speaker 1: It really did, did did.
Speaker 2: I'd be like, okay, song, dubble over the immediately you saw.
Speaker 3: It right into another one.
Speaker 1: There's not even like a little bit of talking in between.
It's just and like each character gets two songs at once.
But yeah, there result whole songs Can I Go On?
And I guess she's wondering if she can go on
with her life again. We don't really know why she's
so upset. It seems like she has really easily solvable
problems in her life. Even herund and uncle were like,
what the hell is wrong with that lady? We gotta
kick her out she sucks. So yeah, the aunt's like, hey,
why don't you stop teaching kindergarten and teach high school instead? Nah?
She's like nah. But like the movie never says like,
well is the pay different? Like is there a reason
to do it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: She makes small teaching high school? Did they say that?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, then that's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she gets to be with the kids for
four years. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Instead she's like, no, I'm gonna just teach babies one
year at a time. It's like, oh, okay, I'm not
really investing her struggle, are you, Manny not at all,
because it feels like she is again it's that training.
She is the one standing in her way and she
needs to find that inner strength. Manny Man, maybe we
should join the Landmark Forum.
Speaker 2: I can't mess my life up an he was.
Speaker 1: Where all this is going to become a landmark for him?
Channel from now on? My favorite thing, Rob Cohen said,
he because he was criticized, Like they're all talking about change,
but then they all acted the same exact way. It was.
Speaker 3: So after all of this.
Speaker 1: Uh Toto gets out runs out of the apartment. She
chases him into the snowstorm and that's when we get
our first major special effect. Now, man, I want you
to remind you this isn't a real tornado. This was
a effect they made in post. But it's very believable.
Let's watch it right now.
Speaker 2: So do you think just the snow was a metaphor
for party age drugs or for interracial dating? Either way,
I'm pretty little Doctor Ubah disapproves.
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Faddy.
Speaker 1: But we see Glinda the good Witch played by I
think Lena Horne, surrounded by babies that are floating, and
they're real creepy. They're not supposed again, this is supposed
to be whimsical and cute. Instead, it's disturbing that there's
weird star babies just shaking their hands like this on
a black background.
Speaker 3: But yeah, she blows drothy.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, her hand's like you never been south of
one hundred and something street ever, like really in her
twenty four years?
Speaker 2: But oh yeah, definitely Harlem.
Speaker 1: But then because oz in this just looks like New York.
Is this in the world of the movie takes place?
Is she just further down the city? Is this just
what it looks like?
Speaker 3: She goes home.
Speaker 1: She's like, there were talking uh netal people and scarecrows like, oh, yeah,
that's what's south of Harlem. You didn't know.
Speaker 3: Did you go?
Speaker 1: Did you see the five Chrysler buildings with the roller
coaster between them? But yeah, she gets blown all the
way to Oz. Another great special effect blows through the
dome lands in a I don't know what the fuck
that was sandpit or something. And then we get the
Munchkins and they're fucking terrifying.
Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa, whoa just because they're college people.
Speaker 3: No, man, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It wasn't because they were no,
not black neck colored, I'm sorry, just because they're colored. No,
it's because they're like they were in the wall. And
then they come out with like the neon glowing stuff
and I didn't know if they were monsters or something
like this. This is really scary. And then they're like, yeah,
we're the Munchkins. I'm like, that's not the Munchkins. I
remember they.
Speaker 5: Were all regular size, you know what, manny, I think
unlike the real Wizard of Oz, I think they might
have had trouble finding a hundred black little people.
Speaker 2: Garry Coleman wasn't around, you.
Speaker 1: Might have still been a kid at that point. Hold on,
how many black little people are there? Because I know
some exists Tony Cox, that's a very famous one.
Speaker 2: If we go to micro wrestling, you'll see like a
hundred right there.
Speaker 1: And I'm saying, uh, unfortunately, Manny, there's more white little
people than black little people. Can you believe it?
Speaker 2: Uh, Peter Digklicch.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, uh yeah. So unfortunately they had to make
the munchkins not so munchy. They had to be normal size.
But they're all like, hey, lady, thanks so much for
killing the witch. She's like, what the fuck did I do? Like, yeah,
he killed this bran look at her right there, and
she's like, I've never met that lady before in my life.
And then they sing a song and this is like
the first like problem, we're every song. By the way,
beautiful match shot there. They have beautiful sets, beautiful mat shots.
I love seeing the wide shots, but they they never
punch in to focus on the dancing. And you're right,
it feels like you're just watching a play on your TV.
But it's not exciting on film, like you want the
camera to cut in to certain dance moves and different extras,
but most of the songs are like, let's pull the
camera all the way back and just let it play out,
very very jarring. And then we get it's not Clinda
the good Witch. It's a different witch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the one or number one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she likes to count or something.
Speaker 1: But she also says, hey, thanks for killing the witch,
and Tarthy's like, I didn't kill anything. And then speaking
of ahead of its time, man, are you ready for this?
Speaker 6: I didn't mean to kill Oh, don't be at all.
Speaker 1: Sixes and sevens, honey, six sevens. I can't watch a
movie that mentioned six or seven's without hearing that anyfore,
So Tarthy gets the silver slippers. Were you upset that
they weren't ruby slippers? They weren't red.
Speaker 2: I forgot that they were supposed to be read so well.
Speaker 1: Actually, this is like a thing people were complaining a
wicked The red ruby slippers were made for the MGM movie. Specifically,
in the book they're silver slippers, so in most adaptations
they're silver, but just as a poor unfortunate thing. The
most popular adaptation of the movie made them red, and
now everyone assumes they're supposed to be red slippers. Unfortunately,
the Wiz could not afford the red slippers from MGM,
so they're like, we're just gonna go back to silver.
So yeah, they're like, all right, you're gonna you gotta
go to the She's like, I'm a witch. There's four witches.
You just killed one. Uh there's Glinda, She's great, don't
know where she is. The other ones are real bitch.
Then she goes and I'm pretty useless. So you're gonna
have to go see a wizard. It's hard. He's like, okay,
They're like, go go to see that wizard. He'll help
you out. Also, don't take those shoes off. We're all
gonna dance in an extreme wide shot again.
Speaker 2: Even the seventies, dedu you need a mad sol feel problem.
Speaker 1: By the way, were you surprised who the ban was
when he finally showed up?
Speaker 2: No, I knew it. Goes to Rick Lamar, Oh okay, and.
Speaker 1: Then manny, I think this is the first time we
have black people skateboarding. Oh yeah, which would become like
a stereotype later on. There was like a thing with
like Marble comics for a while, like whenever they would
introduce like a black character. They would always be skateboarding
or something like, Okay, we got to chill with the
black people's skateboarding. We're doing it a little too much.
Speaker 2: That's how you get odd future.
Speaker 1: Oh did you see few years back they had Miles
Morales turn into Thor. No, Oh my god, Manny it's
one of those where like, oh man, this will be
great and progressive, and then like everyone who read it,
even black people, were like, oh, this is terrible. You
should just leave us right now.
Speaker 2: He's a Norse and nose.
Speaker 1: Yes, but what is he Oh? Because he has a
line he's like talking like Thor and he goes like
by Odin's Fade or something like that.
Speaker 2: By Odin's afro puffs.
Speaker 3: I'm trying.
Speaker 1: I'm fighting pictures of it, but I want to see,
like if they have to buy Odin's Fain, I gotta.
Speaker 2: Fight that by Odin's Jemmy Cole.
Speaker 1: I'm finding this where you need to see those.
Speaker 2: Why do the black heroes always get electricity powers?
Speaker 3: Not all of them?
Speaker 2: Okay and Frozen.
Speaker 1: Okay, I found it. I found it. I found it.
Hold on, uh, let's see here share screen. I can't
believe you missed this. There we go by Odin's fain
I command. You shield the lost son of Fria from
your might. Your trace flows through him. And there's him
on the Brooklyn Bridge. That's pretty cool. You want to
read this book, don't you? People say baffle smoke. Now
look at this. This is him walking a Nascar and
there's Loki. He's very styling. Anyway, Sorry, we got distracted
by Black Thorp. We gotta get back to Black Wizard
of vi. Uh say, yeah, they're dancing.
Speaker 3: For a while for a while.
Speaker 1: And they tell her she's got to take the yellow
brick road. And what do you know if there's a
taxi many that could take her to it.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, even in a world of only black people, the
taxi cabs will switch to off duty and leave them beh.
Speaker 3: It's even in the black fantasy world, they.
Speaker 1: Still can't catch a cab. You think that stereotype's gonna
go away with uber.
Speaker 2: Now, No, I've seen it happened to nubahs. They just
pull up and see your black past waiting outside and
then cancel to ride.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's more repercussions these days for ignoring someone,
whereas in the seventies cab drivers could be like, oh
hell no, I just keep going. Oh man, so yeah,
she's all alone. I guess the munchkins were like, fuck off, goodbye,
thanks for saving us. We're gone.
Speaker 2: By the way.
Speaker 1: I love this graffiti. You're the one, just says lollipop.
Uh so, yeah, you gotta gotta walk by herself, and
she's thinking about house care cheers. She's terrified. And then
I don't know what the fuck this guy was street
merchant with his little tray of ship. What was he?
Speaker 2: What was I don't remember the scene.
Speaker 1: This is like a weird thing where there's a bunch
of like other bad guys and I we're working for
the Witch, but it takes forever for her to show
up in the movie, and like later on they're all prisoners,
and like, were they actually working for her? And they failed?
Speaker 3: What the fuck?
Speaker 1: Who are any of these people? Anyway? He just runs
right past her. Another beautiful man shot of her in
a desolate waistline. I guess, uh. And then she meets
a bunch of crows. Shit it a scarecrow Michael Jackson,
and I thought they were wearing scarecrow masks, but then
I remember it stan Winston.
Speaker 3: Made this, so they have actual crows noses.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird that they have a race full of
like large nosed record executives, forcing Michael Jackson to dad
said sign.
Speaker 1: I don't think they were a record I think they
were just I think they were just bird people. Danny.
Speaker 2: They had big beaks and they were filling his head
full of lies.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what you're alluding to.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: Scarecrow really wants to get down, but they're like, yeah,
you can't get down. You're a scarecrow. You have to
stay up there. We won't let you down. And then
he sings a song about what the fuck was the
song hold on.
Speaker 2: About how he's not allowed to think.
Speaker 1: Uh, you can't win was the name of the song. Yeah,
and the whole thing obviously he doesn't have a brain.
Very famous from the original movie. But yeah, so you're
singing this whole song can't get down. Eventually Diana Roscoe
and she's like, get out of here, crows leave, and
then she lets him down.
Speaker 3: He's like, wait a minute, I could have went down
the whole time.
Speaker 1: They told me I couldn't, and she's like, yeah, they lied.
Speaker 2: To you.
Speaker 1: She's probably gonna have you. I'm gonna ask you refrained
from saying whatever I think you're about to say. We're
just gonna keep on.
Speaker 2: Moving, just like you'd expect from the crows. Goddamnit.
Speaker 1: So yeah, she lets him down. He tries to learn
how to walk and I like that. He's like, I
don't have a brain. She's like, oh, why would you
say that. You gotta be nice to yourself. I go
to a seminar that tells me that, and he goes, no,
I literally don't have a brain. I have garbage in
my head.
Speaker 3: But everything he pulls out of his head is like.
Speaker 1: An inspirational quote from a literary person or philosopher.
Speaker 2: It's sole Chinese fortune cookies. He's like, the original wutagg.
Speaker 1: He's yeah, they're him ripping his brain out. But yeah,
they're like, okay, well, let's go to that yellow brick
road and what do you know if the taxis lead
them again. But yeah, they find a couple of bricks
and it leads them to the yellow brick road, which
again there's five Chrysler buildings for some reason, with a
roller coaster in between them, and this leads to the
famous song, the song that runs throughout the whole movie,
ease On, Damn on the road.
Speaker 3: Get used to that shot. That's it.
Speaker 1: It's just there's only two angles that wide shot, and
then at one point they do a close up, but
it's not really a close up. It's like a medium
shot and it's just them going back and forth on
the road.
Speaker 3: Good song, but.
Speaker 1: It's just ruined in the movie because there's just nothing
visually exciting about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the teams popping up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this is such a cool set. You could
have done so many, like cool close ups, have them
like swing off something and maybe zoom upon his feet
when he was doing something funny. Instead it's like, no,
just one big white shot. And I swear I saw
a mouse running on the road at one point. I'm like,
I would have done another take of that. But yeah.
Speaker 3: So they ease on down the road for a while.
Speaker 1: And they end up at a amusement park and they
they're still being spied on by that weird guy and
here's someone calling from help. Who's underneath this robot that
mab Is there anything racially insensitive about this large woman
robot on top of the tin man here?
Speaker 2: Uh? No fat woman, dah gotta hold you down. You know.
Speaker 1: I looked at it. I'm like, I don't know if
this would fly these days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just like some women I know.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we meet the tin man. I love how
his arm has like a Budweiser can on it and
he's been stuck under her for a long time.
Speaker 2: Let it get woman too fat to walk all over him?
Speaker 1: And he talks about how his creator gave him everything,
his good looks and he says like and his attraction
to the wrong women or something like that. He has
a thing where he's like, I fall for the wrong women,
but he doesn't have a heart. It's the one thing
he lacks. But he gets freed, and of course he
sings the song what could I What would I do
if I could feel? Uh? And manny, I like got
terrified at this next part, Like I legitimately jumped because
I wasn't expecting it and it's not supposed to be scary,
but it scared the shit out of me. Hold on,
yell me, what what what would I do? Those things
scared the fuck out of me. I wasn't I wasn't
ready for it. I was like, oh my god, they're horrified,
like they're they don't show them ahead of time. They
just cut to these wooden faces coming to life for
like a second, and they never interested it again. Yeah,
he sings that song and then he needs oil obviously
because he's the tin man, which you're right, leads into
a second song. He needed two songs at once. Uh,
I'm a mean.
Speaker 3: Or a slide some Oil.
Speaker 1: To Me is the name of the song. Manny a
karaoke nice you often sing slide some Oil to me.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's a for me thinking about being gashy though.
Speaker 1: So Yeah, he does a tap dance number, and Manny,
this is the only musical I've ever seen where they
don't zoom up on the feet to show the tap dancing.
They make sure the camera is as far away as
possible while everyone is tap dancing. Like, really, I've never
seen that before in a movie.
Speaker 2: I didn't even realize it was a tap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he jumps up here and tap and then they're
all tapping, and it's like, what the fuck? It Really like,
it felt like they were like, you know, these songs
are long, we have a lot of them. Let's just
try to get a couple takes and it's like, do
you want to set up a second camera? Nah, it's
just too warm. Really, why take We'll go close if
there's time for it. It's just so dumb. We want
to highlight certain dance moves, like I know on stage
you can't do that, but i'm film you can. Anyway,
they come across those taxis again and they crashed into
each other. I guess they're gonna pick up a Nathan's
famous hot dog on their way out. Uh, the bad
eye's following them again. By the way, I like this
the manny the yellow brick road. Did you notice this
seam in the yellow brick road as if it was
linoleum that they rolled out and then there's all this
dust on the side where's like clearly they just like
hit it going into the concrete. I'm like, man, don't
focus on the seam on the yellow brick road, like
we know it's not actually a brick, but you gotta
trick us a little bit. Jesus Christ. They make it
to the not the OZ Public Library, the New York
Public Library, which again makes me think this is just
what New York looks like.
Speaker 2: It was a magical place in the seventies, yeah.
Speaker 1: You know what, Manny, we weren't there in the seventies.
We don't know what it was like. All the black
people were in Harlem, and whenever they ventured south, they
were entered in a wonderful, magical land with no white people.
By the way, Oh, there's a white person in this movie, Manny.
Speaker 2: Wasn't a good rich white Uh.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's Lena Horne. She's white passing, but she was black.
She belonged to the well educated upper stratum of black
New Yorkers at the time. Oh I read that earlier.
Um was she from Pittsburgh? Huh No, no, she's from
New York anyway. Uh yeah, y wait passing U. But yeah.
So they come across the lions at the New York
Public Library, which are very famous. Have you been to
the New York Public Library?
Speaker 2: Why would I go to a library?
Speaker 1: Well, have you walked past it and gone there? I've
never been inside, but I walked past it and went
that's the library from Ghostbuster. But yeah, the tin man
notices that the lion statues are watching him. H this
is when we get revealed to our very gay lion.
Speaker 2: Oh oh oh yeah, I will sit my metaphor tool
bag while watching this.
Speaker 1: Okay, he had to.
Speaker 2: Keep a stdy exterior because the toxic masculinity.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was toxic masculinity, but you're
on the right you're on the right track. Because he's
so soft, he had to have that hard exterior, right,
just the toxic masculinity you're putting too much modern day into.
Speaker 2: And then he immediately does a drill rap and then
cries about his paw.
Speaker 1: That's writing this whole song about how awesome he is.
Then Toto bites him and he's like, oh my foot,
What the fuck? How did that picture get? There? Are
my slides out of order? What the fuck happened? The
funk happened here? Hold on, okay, we're back to where
we will be. I don't know what the hell happened
with my slide?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he sings, uh no, no, no song.
Speaker 1: I'm a mean old lion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, something about how if you what to his ops
and you survive, it's only a mistake? Does he lets
you slide?
Speaker 1: Those are the words only one song. He didn't get
a double song.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: They were like, all right, the movie's got to move
a little bit here. We can't have him singing, singing
too songs. Uh.
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's just like he doesn't have any courage.
Speaker 1: He used to be King of the Jungle Nanny, which
I don't know where that is in this New York
OZ world, maybe Central Park. But he was King of
the Jungle, but he got cast it out because he
was just too scared of everything.
Speaker 2: What happened here.
Speaker 1: Sorry, but yeah, they're like, hey, look she I forgot.
She's been telling all of them like, well, look I'm
going to OZ to get sent home. Maybe the Wizard
can help all of you. And he's like, all right,
I guess I'll join you. And then all the taxi
cabs come back and they dance on them, but then
they don't take them anywhere. I love that. The one
time the camera does move during a dance number, they're
all covered in trash. There's just a road, which you feel.
This does feel very if you've never been to New York,
this is very New York. Just a mountain of trash
on the side of the road. Uh. And they follow
the OELLW Brick road into the subway, which is full
of night. This is when they entered the back rooms.
I believe. It really does feel like the Backrooms, the
black Rooms. Has someone already done that, Manny.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Let's write a script.
Speaker 1: Hey, technically, as long as we're not using the evil
company from that movie, the back rooms are technically public domain.
We could be the first one to do the black Rooms, Manny,
it could be honest. So this guy finally comes back
and does something in these little paper lanterns that he
has grow really big and chase them around. Now, I
don't know if he's chasing them for the Witch. Does
he work for the Witch? We're never told these things.
Speaker 2: That's just second Nectraba.
Speaker 1: The original one, the Witch is like showing up and
fucking with them, and this one it's like, here's a
bad guy. Might be related. Maybe not you figured out,
but yeah, the lion. They all get captured except the lion,
and then he courageously goes back even though he doesn't
have courage, manny, foreshadowing, but he helps him and then
next thing you know, we got monster trash cans and
then electrical boxes are shocking this dude and fucking the
pillars on the fucking wall come to life. A ga't terrified.
This is scarier than anything I saw in back rooms,
like I would enjoy any of the back rooms more
than this subway.
Speaker 2: Still not his carry as the New York Subway today.
Speaker 1: Yes, I've been on the New York Subway many times,
and there's a reason I uber now. Whenever I get
anytime i gotta get on the subway New York, I'm like, oh,
come on, man, I'm like, please don't let any crazy
people be here, Please please please. That one time I
was on there with that crazy homeless guy who just
like kept raising his fist to random people, like, why
did they get on this car?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: No, I mean occasionally people dance. I know everyone hates it.
I think it's fun. Did you get a little too close? Though,
I've first seen someone almost get kicked in the face.
It's like, all right, let's be a little bit more
terrible here. So yeah, they get out of that situation. Uh,
they make it out and they end up this is
the scene in the original where the poppy field puts
them to sleep, but here it's the poppy prostitutes.
Speaker 2: I guess it's just a bunch of foxy ladies.
Speaker 1: They're all in the Red light district. I like the
row of taxis they have there and again, like, here
we go spicy I love. There's a neon sign that
just says neon.
Speaker 2: Neon.
Speaker 1: Another spicy fun caprize. It's like, okay, these sights are terrible,
but yeah, they start singing and here we go another one,
yummy fun thighs. Oh, they got a bunch of babes
sitting here singing. And then the Lion and Darthy I
guess because they're organic, breathe in the poppy seeds and
they fall under their spell. Whoa, and then they go
through a vagina and they end up on a roof.
And then the scarecrow and the tin Man are there
and like we got you. And it's like, wait, what
was the threat. I don't understand what the threat was.
Speaker 2: Man, When you all the road to victory, foxy ladies
will distract you.
Speaker 1: I guess so, I guess so. But yeah, the tears
from the tin Man wake Darthy up. And then the
lion this is his second song. They spaced it out.
The lion sings a song about being a lion with
Diana Ross. She's like, you gotta be a lion or something. Yeah,
you're alive, many Manny on my wedding day or my funeral,
I would like you to sing be a Lion. Whatever
one comes first, my funeral or the wedding day. When
Manny Musk gets to sing be a Lion, you gotta
be in a lion suit.
Speaker 2: By the way, I wasn't gonna show up to either
in any other suit.
Speaker 1: I'll try to die in the wintertime so it's not
too hot.
Speaker 3: But I can't make promises.
Speaker 1: Let's say he's all like, I'm a lion now, I
guess whatever. And then they find the Emerald City and
I like this, Manny. The sun comes up and it's
a big apple.
Speaker 2: Yeah, get it's New York.
Speaker 3: Yes, because New York is the big Apple.
Speaker 1: This movie's very smart. This movie is very smart. So
they ease on down and I think that's the Brooklyn
Bridge and they run it. Manny, I can't believe it.
The Grinch that Stole bitches, he's back. You do you
believe that movie's not on.
Speaker 3: To me anymore? The Grinch that Stole Pitches?
Speaker 2: Where am I supposed to watch it? Now?
Speaker 3: I don't know where is The Crinch that Stole.
Speaker 2: Pitches promptly on the Amazoon Prime. I bet they bought
it up.
Speaker 3: The Crunch that stole bitches.
Speaker 1: Where can you find prime video? You can read it
for one ninety nine and that's it. It's nowhere else.
Speaker 2: To give it get away.
Speaker 3: It's not even on too.
Speaker 1: He didn't even want it anymore.
Speaker 2: He couldn't afford it.
Speaker 1: The reason we're bringing up the Cridge that sole bitches
is because me and Manny did a commentary track for
it on Patriot. That was one of the most confusing
movies we've ever waught, and they really complicated the very
simple premise. But as soon as I saw this guy
went anyway, he sees the silver Slippers and he's like,
come in right away to the Emerald City. You can
meet the whiz.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. He almost made him go through the
surf and centers. Yeah, and that he noticed she had
some fly shoes on. Yeah, before the Jordan that.
Speaker 1: So they get to the Emerald City and Manny, do
you remember what this background.
Speaker 2: Is from h Nightmare before Christmas?
Speaker 1: No, those buildings in the background are the World Trade Center.
Did you forget the World Trade Center? Manny?
Speaker 2: What's that? How dare you?
Speaker 1: But yes, they built the Emerald City like in between
the Twin Towers. Uh, and the citizens of Emerald City
get up and they talk about how great it is
to be green.
Speaker 3: What's what's the song?
Speaker 1: It's like, uh.
Speaker 2: Something something green? Red?
Speaker 1: Is it just cold Emerald City sequence? Anyway, they're like,
if you want to be seen, you gotta wear green.
Green is awesome. And then we hear the Whiz.
Speaker 3: I thought at all and is.
Speaker 1: It till I chave a man the color and he
tells them we're all red now. So then they sing
a song about how great it is to be red
anything the Wiz tells them. Eventually they settle on gold.
What was your favorite color?
Speaker 2: Uh, definitely gold, because you know gold standard. I'm all the.
Speaker 1: Way awling on the gold standard.
Speaker 2: It's funny toes like, as soon as I saw the
Crows from the beginning, guy assumed that the movie was
going to be filled with lack metaphor for your daughters
trying to make it on the road to success, and
it's like Emerald City just felt like when you finally
get to Hollywood at Efflix Foties.
Speaker 3: When they get to the Wiz's entrance.
Speaker 1: This was like the funniest joke in the movie when
they're like, we want to talk to the Whiz and
someone someone goes hey Mike and it cuts to a
walking microphone. I'm like, all right, that one. That's pretty
fucking funny. There hasn't been anything funny in this movie yet.
And they got me with battle. But yeah, she has
to talk to the Whiz and Wiz is like, fuck off,
get out of here, but they eventually need him. And
actually the giant metal head looks like the robot that
Michael Jackson turns into in Moonlocker, which I reviewed a
few months back. But they basically tell the Wiz what
they want. They're like, yeah, we want this, we want this,
and he's like, yeah, you all can go to hell.
Speaker 3: And I do love that it's a metal Richard Pryor.
Speaker 1: But he's like, look, i'll do I'll help you out,
but you got to kill the witch first. The Wicked
Witch of the West, evil is what was that her name?
Speaker 2: Hold on Meani Medie mcpoopy face or whatever.
Speaker 1: Meanie mcpoopy face. That of course was her name. What
was a real fucking name? Uh, Evileene, not to can
be confused with Evil Lynn from he Man. It's Eveline.
So he says, you gotta kill Eveline. So they take
off and I love we get to see Richard Pryor
peeking out from behind the metal fan.
Speaker 2: Also, I just checked my notes and I wrote down
that there was way less prisoned pooper piracy than I
expected in OZ. I expected ray more poop pipe. And
that's what I heard about OZ this whole time.
Speaker 1: I think you're thinking of a different eyes. I think
you're thinking of the show oh OZ, which was about
a prison. Did you ever watch Arrested Development?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, all the time.
Speaker 1: Remember they had that thing where George Michael is afraid
of prison because he stayed up late as a kid
to watch Wizard of Oz and he stresses the tinman.
But he watched an episode of OZ and it's terrified.
And there was a really I think it was Saturday
Night Live. They did a really good skit after Seinfeld ended.
They put Jerry Seinfeld in OZ. They did a whole
skit where the guys, just like I got pricked with
an age dean always like I once stated, the girl
wore the same dress every day. Have you ever seen
the Jerry Seinfeld OZ parody? I gotta send that to
Did you ever watch the Richard Pryor Star Wars parody?
I say the Star Wars bar with it.
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Oh, man, you gotta watch that one.
Speaker 1: Also, at some point we got to review See No
Evil Here, No Evil?
Speaker 2: Oh, I have seen that movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I thought it'd be funny if one of
us was blindfolded the other one had earbuffs. So we're
also deaf and blind. We just try to review the
movie without being able to really communicate.
Speaker 2: Sounds.
Speaker 1: Buffet let us know. Should we review See No Evil
Here No Evil while pretending to be blind and deaf?
Probably be the worst review we've ever done, or the best.
I'm not sure which one, but I think it'd be
really funny. I'll give you a behind the scenes thing, Manny.
On the way to Rochester, me and Joey C might
be filming a review on the road. We'll be doing
our first road review. I won't say what the movie is,
but I think it's a good one. Anyway, they take off, well, no,
they don't take off. They spend a night in the
Emerald City motel. First, she sings to them.
Speaker 2: What the fuck does she sing? Hold on?
Speaker 1: Uh? Is this what feelings get? Because I guess she
feels bad. She's like, I don't really want to kill
the witch, and we might be screwed if I don't
kill the witch. But I'm not really a killer, so
we might not get what we want. But I'll go
by myself. I'll figure it out.
Speaker 2: What body on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then they decide, you know what, we're gonna
go with you, Dorothy. We have to because that's what
happened in the original movie, so we can't really get around.
I think Budweiser's paid for that sponsorship on his arm.
Speaker 2: Not as much as PEPSI paid.
Speaker 1: Also, I think Michael Jackson's nose was like a Race's cup,
like the paper that comes to the races cup. Did
you notice that? Hold on? Hold on because let me
see something here. Hold on because it's in the front. Look.
It looks like they glued to races cup to his look.
Stanley seem was one of the greatest special effects people
of all time, but this was the late seventies. He
was still getting started. We're not gonna put that. The
guy made the Queen Alien and the t Rex from
Jurassic Park. He's allowed to do a Reces cup on
Michael Jackson's nose early on. So yeah, they they're told
they have to go to the witch who is underneath
the yellow brick road at the Evelene Sweatshop, manufacture and
exporter of sweat. That's what they do. They just make
sweat nanny to what end I don't know. But here
we see all the bad guys we've met in chains,
so I guess they worked for her, maybe unclear still,
and then we see Eveline and her song is about
how she doesn't want anyone to bring her bad news,
and she looks like a woman who can't handle bad news. Yeah,
like like, hey, your cholesterol is high and your weight
is out of control. It's like, don't give me that
bad news.
Speaker 3: What did you think of evil?
Speaker 2: Lean fat woman? Automatically evil. I can't wait to show
my son this movie, even teach him to lessen that
all fat women are evil. So I said at the
beginning to go for a review, it's a dideeok to life.
Speaker 1: Hacker Movie says. Hacker Movies does not endorse many Musket's comments.
We don't agree with what Manny Muskin said. All the
comments are the individual peoples. Also, I see uh once
over with Kayley's in the chat, but I will not
be reading any of her stuff because it didn't come
in the form of a super chat. And she's still
threatening to do a Girl's Month. Manny, can you believe that?
Speaker 2: No? First of all, I'm all hyped up off the
whiz right now, so I don't believe anything a woman says. Annie.
Speaker 1: I promise when we do that street Fighter show, I
will challenge Kayley to a street fight and I'll make
sure we never get a woman a girl's month ever. Okay,
hit her with the hudukin. I am gonna be ryu.
I do have a ryu alphit for anyway. So she's
singing the song no bad don't give me any bad news.
I hate bad news or whatever, and then she uh
fucking murders someone who thinks it's mean that they don't
get a lunch break in like months.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well she wants sold the lunch for herself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so she needs to get darthy and she decides
she's gonna send the Flying Monkeys, which are dudes, which
are muppets basically on motorcycles that have wings, and Nanny,
I don't know for sure, but I was looking at
this and I'm like, feel like this might not be right.
Let's play a clip of one of them talking.
Speaker 2: What's happening?
Speaker 1: Don't come any closer? Manby Am I should I feel
a certain way about these flying monkeys?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh, I want to know. It's whose spots they
had to eat to get wings that big.
Speaker 1: But they're unsettling. Their muppet faces are very disturbing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a I guess not all of the bad
guys could be crows.
Speaker 1: But I'm looking at his face and I'm like, I
feel like I don't want to be like a woke
clib manny, but I was looking at that.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I feel like that's problematic.
Speaker 1: But all the black people in the movie seem to
be cool with it, so I'm not going to say anything.
Our heroes sneak into the sweatshop and they see what's
going on or no, they go to sneak in the sweatshop,
but the monkeys chase them down through a parking garage.
They try to hide, but of course they get kidnapped,
and Eveline's like, hey, stop doing good guys. Shit. Also,
you killed my sister. And also the crows are no
longer in jail and they have cool sunglasses. Now, I
guess the crows are reformed. I don't know, but Darthy's like,
stop being so mean, and she's like, Okay, I.
Speaker 3: Need my sister's silver slippers.
Speaker 1: But when she tries to get them, her hands shrivel
up and her hand is a little ashy. I noticed
attention to detail there great with the special effects. So
she threatens to deal all of Darthy's friends. She's gonna
solve the line and have She's gonna press the tin
man and then she's gonna yank the lion's tail out
or something.
Speaker 2: There was some Boodogs episode where people were able to
tell each other over shoes.
Speaker 1: Real quick. Once again, my slides have been cut off
at one hundred and I didn't realize it, so I
have to make a different slide show. But many were
you on the edge of your seat while this was happening.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I wanted you to know what type of
moment they were going to have both of these shoes.
Speaker 1: While I'm doing this, can you tell us a little
bit more about that Boondocks episode while I'll fix my
goddamn slides.
Speaker 2: So in the Boodogs episode, it starts out with a
guy bumping into another dial for shoes and they're like,
oh no, you stepped on my shoes. This as a problem,
so that they try to kill each other but it
doesn't work, and that the top show up and they
kill them both anyway, So.
Speaker 3: It sounds like a eight episode of television.
Speaker 2: There one of the best episodes on.
Speaker 1: TV Boondocks ever do a someone I saw in the chat.
I won't say who because it wasn't a super chat.
They said apparently the last episode of Black Dynamite, the
animated series, was a whiz parody or something that makes sense.
Speaker 2: I have a finished Black Dynamite.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got like two episodes in. I think, Yeah,
it just didn't do it for me.
Speaker 2: Didn't stretch any of the itches it was supposed to.
Speaker 1: No, it didn't. Is this.
Speaker 2: Hold on?
Speaker 1: Did this not work? I feel like so many technical
issues during a live podcast? What is this? Many? W ATP.
Speaker 2: Someb like that?
Speaker 1: I don't know Carl's been.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like every time I tune into a live
thing there's some like audio issue or something. With Carl's show,
they're usually is it, but lately there has.
Speaker 2: Tall goes through audio issues.
Speaker 1: One recently it was funny because like he couldn't hear
the clips, but everyone, including the audience.
Speaker 2: Could.
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's gonna be the worst issue ever. That sucks.
Speaker 1: How bad? Anyway, we're back many my slides. They were
fixed perfect. So yeah, I guess they're gonna light everyone
on fire or something. And Darthy pools the fire, uh whatever,
and the sprinklers go off and what's her face? Evil
is like, no, I'm allergic to water, and of course
she shrinks and melts.
Speaker 2: Like the does die a coat.
Speaker 1: Or as they're known now, fridge SIGs. That became a
new term this week. Okay, so the Witch is dead
and everyone is like, wow, this is great. Let's all
celebrate and we don't have to sweat anymore. We can
take our alpha it's off and dance and sing and
now we're all in cold underwear or why not?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: You know what's funny? Joey C hit me up and
he said that he also thinks this is the best
Wizard of Oz movie ever. I don't know why Nanny
Nanny is there. Joey C would think this is better
than any other Wizard of Oz movie.
Speaker 2: Auld Men dancing ground at the auddies.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't even notice it. You're right, there are
quite a few muscly men in gold spiedos frollicking around.
I couldn't believe that. You know, you just miss things
when you're so invested in the story. Manny, I don't
think we need a song about the henchmen feeling good.
They don't have to work for the queen anymore. Like
I don't think we needed that, And it definitely didn't
need to go on as long as it did.
Speaker 2: And Eddy chance to dance on the graveful of fat Women,
I'm there for it, favorite number the whole movie.
Speaker 1: Hack of Movies would like to apologize to the large
women in our audience for the comments that Manny muskets
the same we disavowed.
Speaker 2: We disallowed if you'll if you're over a woman and
over ninety pounds, you need to fix it.
Speaker 1: We do not agree with these statements that I believe
to be comedic for many months, many muskets last episode
everyone anyway. Uh So they're like, all right, well that's
great everyone who tried to kill us five seconds ago.
We're gonna leave now. I hope you all have a
good time. Uh And then they go, like you said,
the servants quarters, they go through the backway at the
Emerald City to meet the Wiz. But when they get there,
everything's gone and like kind of packed up, and it
turns out the Wiz was a phony the whole time,
a house the wizzards out. Well. So turns out the
Whiz is from a magical place called Atlantic City. Manny.
He's from the magical world of Atlantic City, and he
arrived in OZ because he was trying to run to
be a politician and he rented a hot air balloon
and then it blew him away to OZ. And then
he says, like, yeah, I'll just pretend to be a
fucking what we'll call it wizard.
Speaker 3: Why not, Manny, if you run for.
Speaker 1: Public office, I'm going to advise you to not do
this hot air balloon h bit. I think it's bad.
Speaker 2: No, I'm gonna stay away from Atlantic City.
Speaker 1: Just stay away from Atlantic City. Of course, I see
Crystal in the chat, but of course won't read what
she says because it's not a super chat. A Christal,
if you want to leave a super chat recommending some
black music we can listen to for this very special month,
Black Music Month, feel free to leave a fifty dollars
superchat anyway. But yeah, he didn't believe in himself because
he didn't make it as a politician. He's sad and
he's just like, I suck, and she's like, yeah, you
do kind of suck. We all kind of suck. Let's
sing a song which is called nothing. I actually skipped ahead.
Oh no, here it is believe in Yourself. She tells
everyone they need to believe in theirselves, and she points
out that they all had it in them all along.
Nanny the Scarecrow was smart, he has a brain, tin
Man has a heart, the Lion is courageous. And then
Glinda finally shows up and sings believe in Yourself again
the reprise it's literally believing yourself drothy Glinda the good
which believe in yourself reprised. However, we're getting a reprise
so soon. But yeah, she comes in. She's like, all,
did you believe in yourself? Are you gonna use all
the teachings of the Landmark Forum, Dorothy? Are you gonna
do it? So? Yeah, she tells them, all you have
to do is click your heels and you can go home.
It was in you the whole time, which there's believing
in yourself. But then there's like you never gave her
that information that's not part of believing in yourself.
Speaker 3: How is she supposed to know that that was the
thing that she can do.
Speaker 2: It's also like you had to power it the whole time.
The power to just go home bat you a life
where you had given up already. But what I have
to power too?
Speaker 1: But she was changed by this adventure obviously, Manny. Yeah,
she's like, all right, now you believe in yourself and
you're gonna become a high school teacher. That's what your
journey is brought you too. And then she tells everyone
else to believe in themselves. And then the what's his face?
Speaker 3: Is like I don't know what to do.
Speaker 1: She's like, I don't know what your deal is, buddy,
you gotta figure it out. Can I recommend a forum,
a seminar you can go to for you can learn
what's wrong with your life and how to combat. Oh,
I just realized Crystal and Kalie ear in the chat.
I need you to to stop communicating, Manny. If they talk,
they might be to a Girl's Month episode together. I mean,
it won't happen regardless because of my fight, But like,
what if I get sick before the fight and we
gotta make sure it doesn't happen. I'm gonna go ahead
and ban Crystal anyway. Uh so, yeah, she goes home, Manny.
She sings one last song to go home, and then
it ends with her just walking to her front door,
and it just cuts. There's no like I had a
dream and you were there, and you were there and
you were there.
Speaker 3: Just just walks.
Speaker 2: Home, just just movie. Yeah.
Speaker 1: She doesn't tell her aunt, but she is going to
become a teacher for high school or anything. She's just like,
that's the end of the movie. Goodbye. Fuck were you
let down by this ending?
Speaker 2: I was panicked about getting here on time by that.
I hope Tony took notes about the end, because it
doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 1: I really, you know what really fucked me up today?
I was like, I'll have plenty of time to do this.
And then Johannah's just like, hey, what are you doing
tomorrow night? And I'm like, oh, I got a live
episode of eight and she goes, oh, good, you can
ride to my house and get my dog medicine. At seven?
I went, why did I Why did I tell her?
Why did I answer? Why do I keep answering the
phone it's always give my dog medicine. She moves ten
minutes away. Suddenly I'm the dog medicine guy.
Speaker 2: DEVI A let of women know your plans.
Speaker 1: That's true. That's true, especially.
Speaker 2: Not a fat woman, as is the moral of this movie.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's actually the moral of this movie,
mannyation of it.
Speaker 2: Never trust a fat woman and the crows will lie
to you.
Speaker 1: Man Many, I think larger women have upset you in
your life, but you need to overcome that. And when
we go to that Landmark Forum meeting, we're gonna learn
what happened. We're gonna we're gonna believe in ourselves, Manny.
We're never gonna let us be taken advantage by a
big broad ever again. And then we're gonna get our
friends like Joey C and Crystal Kin created Quinn and
Kaylee to join us in the Landmark Forum. It's gonna
be great. Oh that girl in the Landmark form it
was all about like changing and bettering herself. But then
she kept complaining because she kept getting back together with
the same guy.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: Uh, that is the end of the Wiz Many. What
was your final thoughts on the Wiz.
Speaker 2: Uh, I like the lessons that it taught. I've never
been a fan of musicals, but it's uh, you know,
he needs something about medicine tasting bad. I forget what
the sage is.
Speaker 3: The buddle of sugar helps the medicine go down.
Speaker 1: That's Mary Poppins reference.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm tired Michael Jason didn't have enough sick dance
moves for him. I saw him getting down at a
big dubbleed and but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the camera work really portrayed the choreography in this.
That's the most upsetting thing. You have these amazing dancers,
these amazing and you filmed it in the most boring
way possible. And I don't understand why they did that.
Very very confusing. But over of ma, it's not like
the worst movie ever. We just never were told what
Tarthy's fucking deal was. That's really what's upsetting. Like, I
don't know why this lady's so sad, so I don't
care about anything happening to her.
Speaker 2: It felt two log and not log enough at the
same time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it definitely it feels it's like again because
it's not cutting, it just feels way longer than it is.
But yeah, I think it's okay. This could benefit from
a remake. I think, yeah, we could definitely remake this
this But by the way, this might surprise you, Nanny.
This was not a big hit when this came out.
It was a commercial failure. It got beat by Midnight Express.
And I'm sorry, Nanny, my my spirit, my reincard or
whatever it is. My ancestor John Belushi, he his movie
Animal House really hurt the Whizz's box office sales. So
it bombed commercially, and the reviews were not much better.
It was not great.
Speaker 2: Midnight Express and addible House boss out like racial racist
alternate titles to All the Whiz.
Speaker 3: And Oh here we go.
Speaker 1: Remember there was like that big blaxploitation era in the seventies.
Speaker 2: Manny a photo of it.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm reading here. This film's failure steered Hollywood studios
away from producing the all black film projects that had
become popular during the exploitation era of the early to
mid seventies. This movie killed at Manny.
Speaker 2: So this movie sigle headedly ruined Black Potation.
Speaker 1: It might have been all the movies too, but this
had a big budget, so this might have been the
one where all you know, we're seeing that again now, Manny. Unfortunately,
shows like Little Black Iron Man Girl are just not
really doing numbers. So Hollywood's just like we're gonna bring
Robert Tanny Junior bag. We're going back. Woke is over, Manny?
How do you feel about woke over?
Speaker 2: It's time for people to get some sleep.
Speaker 1: It's a great It's great. That's the best thing you've
said on this whole episode. But yeah, Manny, Uh, you know,
we have a lot of patrons, and here are some
of their names right here. Uh, can we talk to
some of our patrons right now? You want to talk
to some patrons? Manny?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: First up, Zombie Kingpin, the guy who always used to
super chat Mommy Milkers. He's here from stuttering John's living room.
What's up, Zombie Kingpin?
Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing great?
Speaker 3: How do you feel about the Wiz?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: Again, didn't watch the film you disappeared?
Speaker 1: Watch you didn't watch a black musical for Black Music Month?
Speaker 4: I do feel like this film may have uh destroyed
the black exportation.
Speaker 1: I agree with Manny on that.
Speaker 2: You're just repeating stuff that we've already said.
Speaker 1: I'm agreeing with your your assessment. I didn't say I
read that fact I didn't say I didn't fact check that. Well,
gbt it next time.
Speaker 4: Uh, y'all are very entertaining you. And last time I
was on, I uh challenged Joey C to a push
up contest. This time I'd like to challenge him to
a beard growing contest.
Speaker 1: Wait did he do the push up contest?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: What the fuck? I think? Who just had a beat?
Speaker 4: So I am going to get him to do a beat.
I will shave completely and start from scratch.
Speaker 1: Okay, good? Who is talking in the background? Who's that's
my wife?
Speaker 2: Noise?
Speaker 1: Could hear that?
Speaker 3: It's the loudest thing ever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the noise canceling is she's yelling at my dogs.
You're like a beep, a fucking dog bark and a person.
You're just pretending that it's not happening. That's how I do.
Can you recommend some black music for Black Music Month?
Oh gosh, I can't rightly? So?
Speaker 4: Uh my kids were listening to It's Getting Hot in
Here by Nelly earlier today.
Speaker 7: Well that counts. Okay, Yeah, there we go. You might
be buddies back and I need you to silent sual wife.
Speaker 1: I'll let her know.
Speaker 3: I don't even know why you have a wife. Did
you not hear Lauren?
Speaker 8: Or every man should just become gay?
Speaker 1: I'm considered that's gonna bite Lauren on the ass if
every man can turns gay, because, as we all know,
Lauren is me.
Speaker 6: Meepy.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna show her this like a month from now.
Speaker 1: She do we fuck you perfection? All right?
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, zombie king.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thank you for being a patron. All right,
we'll see you later. And then next on the list
is Whipped Cream Willie, who's been filming uh the whole time? Hello,
Whipped Cream Willie? How are you?
Speaker 2: I guess?
Speaker 3: Okay, you guess okay?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: What do you think about the Wiz?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: I didn't watch it either.
Speaker 3: Are you going to watch it?
Speaker 6: And I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was more of a friends guy than Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2: Get it?
Speaker 3: Prince is good?
Speaker 1: But should we do?
Speaker 3: Should we do a purple rain next time?
Speaker 2: Have you heard the story of when Prince tried to
rub Michael Jackson over with his car?
Speaker 3: I haven't heard that story?
Speaker 1: Can you tell it?
Speaker 2: Uh? So will I tells a story about how he's
hanging out with Michael Jackson and he's bad. Go to
a Frinch concert and Michael does want to go. It
was Prince's a big meeting. He tried to rub me
over with his car and Will's shut up, what are
you talking about? And then later Will I Am tolls
Twincy Jones and he's like, yeah, I'll be And Mike
we went to the Prince too. It's like you got
Mike to do. See Prince trying to rub that boy
over with his cart. As footage they were both out
of James Brown Todds and James Brown like pulled Michael
up on stage. He doesn't dance, and the crowd goes wild.
Michael whispers and James Brown's here like, oh, Prince is
here too, And then Prince like has someone like carry
him in on his shoulders and he does a weird
dance moves and the crowd does not react at all.
So Prince was so pissed that Michael after, well.
Speaker 1: That's great, we're pream Willy. Do you have any black
music suggestions for us?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Well, I got my kid and playing there you go,
kiddn't play there? We go? Well, so much.
Speaker 2: I can kind of agree on the big women coming.
Speaker 1: I used to be married to one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're awesome.
Speaker 3: I had a feeling.
Speaker 1: I had a feeling.
Speaker 3: Really, I don't want to make assumptions, but I believe it.
Speaker 1: I believe.
Speaker 2: Married. And hey, well she moved, she moved on the women.
Speaker 1: Oh so there you go. There you go. Well, uh,
at least now that you don't have to support that woman,
you have more money to be a patron. And I
appreciate you for being a Patreon supporter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can find for yourself.
Speaker 9: I got kids.
Speaker 1: I can't really focus on money for myself. Yeah, well,
you know, you gotta support the kids. It's it's your
Patreon membership to me priority than the kids, and then
anything left over for yourself. Uh, those are your priorities.
And whenever, Uh, Nanny, do you have super chats yet
on your podcast? Oh no, okay, when Nanny gets monetized
on YouTube, it's Patreon support for me. Manny must get
super chats, then the kids, and then whatever's.
Speaker 2: Left for you.
Speaker 1: That's that's the priority there going forward. I'm your financial advisor. Well, I'm.
Speaker 3: I'm great.
Speaker 1: I do great financial advice.
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna let you go now.
Speaker 1: Thank you, with cream Willie.
Speaker 2: All right, comp subscribing to most Importantest is free right now.
Speaker 1: It's free, right now. You're gonna pay well everything at
some point? Who does that?
Speaker 3: Kevin Brennan doesn't need like pay well all.
Speaker 1: This ship now? Oh yeah, extremes it once? All right?
Speaker 3: Next stuff, whip cream Willy. What a character.
Speaker 1: Let's make things a little bit more normal here, Manny muskets.
Next up is Hinks, the Cowardly Lynx, who I think,
who I think is actually ran on the shaved hell?
Speaker 3: Is that a cat?
Speaker 1: All right? Hey, okay, the frame is being attacked by
an actual animal right now? Excuse me?
Speaker 9: My cat is in the way here.
Speaker 1: Hey does your cat not know the person when you
have that?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 9: Never mind? Hey, hello.
Speaker 3: Jinks the Cowardly Lynx?
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 9: Hey? How's it going? Hello? Hello? Manny? Hello?
Speaker 1: Uh? What do you think of the Wiz? And can
you please rate the lion fur suit?
Speaker 9: I've never seen it, but I guess compared to the
Wizard of Oz, the Wizard of Oz has escapism. It
has you go into magical world, whereas the Wiz it
seems like it doesn't have that escapism. It seems like
you're in New York City, and it seems like you
don't have that kind of escapism.
Speaker 1: It seems like, yeah, that is kind of funny, where
like regular Wizard of Ozz, like you're in a farm
on can in Kansas, but now you're in a magical world,
and this one like you're in New York and now
you're kind of in New York. That's not really a
big change.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but with.
Speaker 9: And there's munchkins and there's witches and there's flying monkeys
and tin Man and you know, you're just in the Wiz.
You're in Ah, you're in New York. And it's like
that's not really the magical world. And it's like, I
don't really like that. It's like, Okay, it's you're just
in New York. You're in the Bronx and you're Harlem, Like,
what's the point? Come on, man, that's stupid. I don't
like that. Come on, that's not really magical escape? What point?
I don't like that? What the heck?
Speaker 2: You just couldn't appreciate the movie because Lynxes are color blind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's just like I didn't know the difference.
Speaker 3: Were they not light?
Speaker 9: It's just urban city escape. There's no magical. There's no
magical what do you call it?
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 3: That was kind of magical. I don't know.
Speaker 9: He's like, it's just urban city scapes. There's no going.
Speaker 1: This might be a thing where it probably looked better
as a play. I think we can all agree it
probably it worked better as a play where you have
normal looking at all time.
Speaker 9: And even Star Wars, the original Star Wars has Wizard
of Oz parallels, you know what I mean, Yes, but
it's like this is just it just takes place inside
New York City and it's like it's boring, you know,
just urban environments. You know. I don't like that. You know,
there's no escapism, there's no magical places. It's just it's
just New York City, just the Bronx.
Speaker 1: Just how how is the Lion's first suit? I need
to know what you thought of the Lions for a suit.
Speaker 9: I'll be honest with you. I had the video at
a very low resolution because of a crappy intertconnection, so
I was kind of squinty.
Speaker 1: Uh that looks that look That wasn't the Lion. That
was the tin man. Hold on, hold on, oh god,
damn it. I got rid of it because the slides
got all messed up. One second, one second, second, one second.
Speaker 9: I'm squinting.
Speaker 1: Oh give me one second. Let me pull up a
picture of him.
Speaker 9: My glasses right right?
Speaker 2: I nearsighted. You know that? Right?
Speaker 3: I did it?
Speaker 1: Know that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's looking through a suit on his phone.
Speaker 1: Well, there's nothing. This is gonna work, many work. He's
gonna lie. I can't see you.
Speaker 9: Well, you know a fabric machine thingy.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 9: I don't have my glasses on. Man, look at this.
Speaker 1: I can't Okay, here we go, squint as hard as
you can. Is not a good lion suit?
Speaker 9: That looks like ship? I look good. I look like
a Lynx that looks like ship.
Speaker 2: Ship.
Speaker 1: Oh I took off instead of the line. All right, well,
I'm glad we got your rating on the Lion. Uh.
We're gonna chats now, but thank you for stopping by.

Speaker 9: Just for this live stream and just gonna say hello
little Hello, Manny, the little priest. Hello, Hello, that's great.
Speaker 1: Hold on, Manny. Next time I see you. I have
to give you a print of something, but I don't
want to. I don't want to say what it is
because I haven't edited the video yet. Okay, why is
Crystal calling me manty? She is calling me interrupting. Yes,
you're a patron. I sent you the cast link months
ago for you to become a patron. One second, God,
damn it.
Speaker 3: I'll send it on Instagram. I'll send it on Instagram.
Speaker 2: Crystal needs to watch her leguage off my tug.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've been You've been very good at not saying
anything bad. All right, all right, we're gonna let you
go right on, goodbye, right on.
Speaker 2: Well, I wasn't sure that was really dad, I know reda.
Speaker 1: Where to God? Crystal is.
Speaker 2: Uh uh. Leave it to a little bit to mess
everything up.
Speaker 1: I send every you got it, Nanny? You got when
I sent you the cast thing, the Patreon membership.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's worth every penny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you got it for free because you're part
of the cast. I'm glad that you would proudly pay
for it if you had to.
Speaker 2: Easily. I thought I was paying for.
Speaker 1: Nobody else asked for a link unless you're a patron. Okay,
real quick, I'm not gonna read the person's name because
it's not a super chat, but I want to address
this someone Nanny is accusing me of promoting Veto's scam. Now,
as we all know, I'm not supposed to acknowledge or
talk about beaterusuality except for to let people know that
I can't acknowledge or talk about beats Walde. It was
part of my New Year's resolution. But I think maybe
you're behind on the times. I promoted the campaign at
the time because I thought it was going to be
a real comic book, Manny, as did you right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: We all thought it was going to be a real
comic book, you know, Manny. Two of the other campaigns
I donated to, they finished their books and I got them.
Speaker 3: Can you believe that?
Speaker 2: You know what? I'm excited for? Comic real soon? What
super Killers?
Speaker 1: Yes, there is another one called Superkiller. So at the
time I thought my good friend Veto was supposed to
be making a comic and then he didn't do that,
and then he decided to self medicate with Concerto, and
then he threatened to leak a script that I don't think.
I actually sent him to read it when he was
on a bender or something because he was mad that
people were making fun of him. And I haven't talked
to Veto direct me in over a year. So there
you go. I don't promote Superkiller. No one should send
veto Bunny because you're throwing it in the garbage. And
I've apologized in the past for telling people to sign
up for the campaign because I thought, Manny, I thought
it was gonna be a real comic. You know, you
see comic.
Speaker 2: You've been looking real healthy for over a year.
Speaker 1: I have been well. There was that brief period where
I wasn't, but I've been happier. I've been happier for
over the year. But yes, no, I don't support Superkiller
or anything Vito dis Waldy does. I don't even watch
Biggest Problem anymore. Still love Dick Masterson though, still support
him and his show, which has only gotten better. Can
you believe that, Yeah, Dick show has gotten better? Johnny
the audio engineer has such great chemistry with But yeah,
so you can stop Lee leaving the same comment over
and over again. I'm assuming it's a bot because it
is the same comment over and over again. And I
literally have just answered your question, but it's the same
I answered you. Why do you keep asking me? I
answered you. If it happens again, I'll just ban you
because it does feel like a bot just programmed in there. Anyway,
Let's read some super chat, shall we? Where is Crystal?
We're gonna read some superchats?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: This is Carriopilot.
Speaker 1: I don't know why stream yard or YouTube changed his
name to Razor of the Blade for a ninety nine.
Remember watching multiple times in my adult life and liking
it completely. Disagree with Doug Walker's review of it the
nostalgia critic, My good friend, the nostalgia critic. I wonder
what he said of it. Maybe I'll watch it afterwards. Annie,
let's watch all of nostalgia critics whiz review right now
in silence. We won't even pulse it. In fact, we'll
take ourselves off the screen and let it play it
in its entirety.
Speaker 3: Is that a smart move?
Speaker 2: I think so. Let me talk to my lawyer.
Speaker 1: Uh, Bryant ming Or Mingo Junior, Brian Mingo Junior.
Speaker 3: I think I got that right.
Speaker 1: I feel like I butchered that before for four ninety nine. Hi, Tony,
would you consider doing straight out of Compton or Attack
the Block with Manny Muskets? Sometimes I didn't see straight
out of Compton. I did see Attack the Block, and
I really enjoyed that one.
Speaker 2: I didn't see Attacked the Block. I did see straight
out of Compton, and I really enjoyed that one.
Speaker 1: Nice. Maybe we'll do one of those at some point. Yeah,
uh what you God? Attacked the Block gave us what's
his face? Finn from the New Star Wars movies? That
was his like first like big thing, okay, next up
Radical eight oh eight for four ninety nine. There's a
there's also Gary Oldman. He portrayed a little person in
the Role of a Lifetime. Quote.
Speaker 3: Uh, that's from Tiptoe. Did you ever see the movie
Tiptoes Manny?
Speaker 2: No, but I think I heard about it.
Speaker 1: Is that Tiptoes is very famous. It's got one of
the most famous trailers of all time. Uh with his face.
Daniel Tosh talked about it on his show years ago.
But the trailer's gone viral because again, Gary Oldman plays
a little person. They go in a role of lifetime.
Recently they got Matthew McConaughey on a podcast and they
showed him the trailer and he's like, I never actually
seen the trailer before. This is ridiculous. You should do
that at some point. Tiptoes It's one of those movies
where it's like, well, it had its heart in the
right place, but it totally the totally missed the mark. Yeah, uh,
senior sticks for two dollars. Haven't been in the night?
You are bummy cop? Well I am mummy cop, but
I want to remind everyone again that I was not
in the Dark Night. I was in the Dark Night
rises very important. I think you should leave a ten
dollars super chat and say that same thing again, but correctly.
What do you think, Manny?
Speaker 2: I concur What do you think?
Speaker 1: Crystal?
Speaker 3: Oh she still hasn't clicked the link.
Speaker 1: Oh, there she is fucked. She wrote my choke because
she actually showed up.
Speaker 6: I don't have a headphone, so you have to deal
with it.
Speaker 1: What the well, it better be noise canceling us. What
did you want to say? Why did you invite yourself
to the Black Music Month episode?
Speaker 6: Because I like musicals, motherfucker. I literally my entire life.
I've literally worked Broadway.
Speaker 3: Really really named five musicals?
Speaker 6: Name five musicals?
Speaker 3: Yeah, name five?
Speaker 6: It's kinky boots black. Oh you want black ones.
Speaker 2: I just want whatever you choose. I'm just gonna.
Speaker 6: How about that, motherfucker?
Speaker 8: The Whiz, Chicago Boa Rooge like, and then they're all
fucking classic, fucking what.
Speaker 6: Are the ones I even fucking work?
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ the Roadhouse musical that played briefly for one
year in two thousand and four.
Speaker 6: Avenue, Yeah right, Avenue Q is one of my favorite.
The Book of Mormon. These are all fucking popular.
Speaker 3: Ast one book of Mormon I've seen.
Speaker 1: I got to see Josh Spring Awakening.
Speaker 6: What'd you say?
Speaker 1: I got to see Book of Mormon. I saw it
when it was in previews, so I got to see
Josh gadd before he made it big lucky me. Okay,
what did you want to say about the Wiz? I
like it. That's about it. That's what you screamed and
called and grinded the show to a whole to come
in and just say I like the Whiz.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, if you want to be on an episode
with Manny Muskets, I've never been on an episode with them, sir.
Speaker 6: That was the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Well, if you did call into the three hundredth episode,
which you famously refused to be a part of.
Speaker 6: Mean though, what the three hundredth episode that you gave
me the wrong time.
Speaker 3: To cut ever.
Speaker 1: There, you would have been in with Manny Muskets because
he broke into my house. I still think about that
sometimes when I looked over, I'm like, wait, maybe.
Speaker 2: I was there for like half an hour before.
Speaker 1: You know, it's very dark here. You blended in, man,
I could have Wow, you were like one of the
graffiti guys in the What's better the movie The Whiz
or the play Crystal?
Speaker 8: Oh, most musicals and plays are better. The only musical
I've ever seen that was better on film than live
is Chicago. Oh well, oh sucks as it was really bad.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw my thing earlier, but
apparently Joel Schumacher from Batman Forever, when he was writing this,
they were like, he just basically took the script for
the play, and he's like, nah, I'm not doing that.
He just did his own thing. Apparently.
Speaker 2: I don't hate that.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't hate that at all whatsoever.
Speaker 8: It's actually nice when they don't copy it directly, because
then there's certain expectations that they have to do, and
sometimes things for Broadway is not meant for theater.
Speaker 1: It's just not Although they filmed this like a freaking
Broadway thing, with no camera cuts or anything.
Speaker 3: Is this better than Wicked and Wicked Too?
Speaker 1: We can do.
Speaker 6: I still have not seen the movie.
Speaker 1: You haven't seen you even drag your boyfriend to Wicked
or Wicked Too.
Speaker 8: I I wasn't super excited to see it because I'm
a huge fan of the musical.
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm a huge fan of musical.
Speaker 8: I think it's absolutely brilliant, just the overture alone, soon
as that starts, like I was nervous about.
Speaker 1: It, and I was just still.
Speaker 2: That way.
Speaker 1: Obviously, the whiz Manny the best Wizard of Oz, of course,
but when we talk about Wizard of Oz adaptations about
white people, it's David Lynch's Wild at Heart that's the
best one. That's the best white Wizard of Oz. Nicholas
no great.
Speaker 8: I will say my freshman year high school beause I
went to a performing arts high school. We did Wizard
of Oz's to the school musical, but it.
Speaker 6: Was more of the Wiz inspired to.
Speaker 8: Where we changed the overture, like everything, a lot of
the music to where it was so goddamn soulful it
was diculous, like we actually brought in and recomposed the
fucking music to make.
Speaker 1: It more, Crystal, I have to talk to Manny real quick.
I think she just admitted to appropriating black musical and
taking from black culture. Manny, did you just hear her
say that?
Speaker 2: I think the ginger just pretended she had a soul.
Speaker 1: Oh she heard that. I thought I thought I had
her view.
Speaker 6: I said, soulful?
Speaker 11: What is I?
Speaker 6: Well, I steal souls, so I'm full of the souls.
Speaker 1: No, Crystal did audition for Shang Sung and the numeral combats,
but they're like, no, that's an Asian man. Other than that,
you're perfect for it.
Speaker 2: But I'm a ginger.
Speaker 6: Apparently on TikTok, we're invited to the cook, Like the
cook is that?
Speaker 2: Why can you confirmslexic people?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay Royce who went viral for that tweet years ago?
Did you see Royce went viral recently?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 1: Royce. Royce had some choice words for Hunter Biden on Twitter,
but he uh one of the many insults he was
throwing out and he got the drug wrong. So then
Hunter Biden responded to Royce to correct him on what
his drug use was, but then said Royce's oily muscles
were cute. So during Pride Month, we decided that Royce
and Hunter Biden are dating now the second memoir and
it will all be about Royce. And I just happened
to own Hunter Bidens.
Speaker 9: Why do you have that?
Speaker 1: I saw it in a thrift store two years ago
and I went, this is gonna be funny one day.
And then I shot a Blade Boys with Royce last night,
and like, today's the day I get to whip out
that book and do something funny with it. Thank you
Royce for being very offensive on Twitter and getting a
crackhead to respond to you. Oh my god. Anyway, Chris, Well,
