00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,960
I don't know why. I had French fries for lunch

00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:36,560
and some French dressing with it and even ate a

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,000
little bit of French bread. My stomach was so upset

Speaker 4: Welcome everybody back to the Shureley You Can't Be Serious

13
00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:50,840
podcast where This week we are comparing Better Off Dead

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,840
from nineteen eighty five, which is turning forty years old

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,679
this year, to One Crazy Summer from eighty six. Both

16
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:03,240
Savage Steve Holland movies, John Cusack movies, both Taylor Negron movies.

17
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: Both Curtis Armstrong movies, Curtis Armstrong movies, both Rich Little

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,560
Movies not Rich Hall.

19
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 4: Like I said in the previous episode, yes, sorry about that.

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: Every way, we have quite a bit of overlap here,

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,000
and there's one overlap that we missed on our last

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,480
episode when we were talking about the cast of Better

23
00:01:20,519 --> 00:01:27,079
Off Dead. Oh okay, Amanda Wiss, Vincent Chavelli, the math teacher, yes,

24
00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:31,319
and Taylor Negron. Yeah, we're all.

25
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:34,359
Speaker 2: In fast times at Richmont High.

26
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: Wow, that's memorable. Party was the pizza delivery guy? Right?

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,319
That's it?

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, right here, dude, that's great.

29
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 3: Man.

30
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 4: What is your relationship with One Crazy Summer?

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,439
Speaker 3: One Crazy Summer? I just remember being excited to see it.

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,000
I saw it in the theater when I was a kid.

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,000
I mean, the nice thing about this is these are

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,159
both very tame movies. I mean you've got I mean,

35
00:01:58,239 --> 00:02:01,599
the the most risk scene that you have in Better

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,359
Off Dead is when he falls and pulls the cheerleader's

37
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,560
cheerleading uniform off Christians.

38
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 4: She dates the entire basketball team Lane, not one member

39
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,319
of the team, the whole team.

40
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: Yes, and she was beautiful, but I mean they kept

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,680
her in the bron panties. I mean for the eighties,

42
00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:23,240
that's very tame. And then I think you pointed out

43
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,879
the most risk scene in One Crazy Summer is like

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:33,479
cartoons with the Little Slutty. The drawings are so fuzzy, bunny.

45
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: The Fuzzy Bunnies are a little nipply.

46
00:02:35,479 --> 00:02:37,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, do this The Fuzzy Bunnies win.

47
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 4: I mean I watched this movie all the time on HBO. Yeah, well,

48
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:47,639
I watched both of these movies all the time on HBO.

49
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,719
I was going to bring this up because I think

50
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:53,080
this is interesting. So One Crazy Summer is released August

51
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,599
ninth of nineteen eighty six. Okay, it was shot in

52
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,719
the summer of eighty five.

53
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,879
Speaker 3: Right, we met this a little bit in the previous episode.

54
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,680
This is before Demi Moore blew up right, sorry, mom

55
00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:11,199
blew up frecky really sorry? Mom? Blue Uh.

56
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,159
Speaker 4: Demi Moore was in a romantic comedy with well, it's

57
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,919
kind of a romantic dramedy with Rob Low and Jim Belushi.

58
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 3: It's called About Last Night. Yep, David Mammont script.

59
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, that came out a month prior to One

60
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,479
Crazy Summer.

61
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:34,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, they actually filmed One Crazy Summer before they filmed

62
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:38,120
About last Night. Just flippedlopped on when the release dates were.

63
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 4: I'm not going to be crude, but I'm going to

64
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:45,039
say that About Last Night fascinated a thirteen year old Jason.

65
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,599
Speaker 3: There's a couple of scenes that are a little bit

66
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:55,680
fuzzy on the VCR copy from overplay, Demmy was captivating.

67
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so there you go.

68
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: That's all I'm gonnay Bruce Willis with that scene. I

69
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:04,879
think that's all I'm gonna say about that. Yeah.

70
00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:08,919
Speaker 4: One Crazy Stummer starts off with a graduation scene, which

71
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,639
I mentioned before, Say Anything starts off with a graduation

72
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,560
scene three years later, right, and John Kyussack maintains the

73
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,439
same age.

74
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: Which is cool.

75
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 4: But the high school, I don't know if you knows

76
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:22,319
you notice the name of the high school, no generic

77
00:04:22,399 --> 00:04:28,199
high school, Nantucket. But that was funny, hilarious, right, another

78
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,920
funny scene before we get into casting. There's lots of

79
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
little cute stuff. Sure, I thought, first of all, this

80
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:38,360
movie really captures that sort of innocent time of I'm

81
00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:39,160
out of school.

82
00:04:39,399 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm going to do.

83
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 4: I don't really have anything going on, so I have

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,079
nothing better to do than just hang out with my

85
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:46,839
buddies and do.

86
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,759
Speaker 3: Whatever we're doing. Go to the beach, Go to the beach.

87
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 4: Right, and in fact, some people have called One Crazy

88
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:53,639
Summer Better off Dead goes to the beach.

89
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: I mean, it's the same thing, right, John Cusack obsessed

90
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,879
with the blonde girl when really it's the brunette he

91
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
should be after. Right, that's exactly it. Right.

92
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,319
Speaker 4: There's one really funny moment in the very first of

93
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,600
this movie. He's talking to Dami Moore. You can tell

94
00:05:07,639 --> 00:05:09,759
that they're kind of cozying up to each other. They

95
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,920
got something blossoming possibly, and he's like, I just love

96
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,199
the smell of the air the summer area.

97
00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 3: But big boy, if you're putting, I can see the land.

98
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: Clean fresh air.

99
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:27,439
Speaker 3: And Risey does that.

100
00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:31,519
Speaker 4: The guy shoves a chili dog is like chili dog, right,

101
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,759
It's just cute humor like that.

102
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,399
Speaker 3: It's sort of Nickelodeon humor if you you know. Yeah, Well,

103
00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:39,720
and then this one, you know, we're gonna talk casting

104
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:41,480
here in a second, but that's some of the most

105
00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:45,160
interesting stuff is the veriest cast and how it came

106
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:46,600
to be on this thing. So let's get into it.

107
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,600
Let's get into it, right, all right. So we have

108
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,360
John Cusack back as Hoops Hoops Macan. Do you know

109
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,360
where the name comes from? Tell me comes from a

110
00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:57,040
Steely Dan song.

111
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 4: Steely Dan, Fire Up the yacht Rock documentary. Oh no, wait,

112
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,199
they hate that.

113
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: Yes, right, that the best part of that whole movie

114
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,199
is that ends scene. But yeah, the song's name is

115
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,839
Glamour Profession. Hoops McCann comes from that song. I love it.

116
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,199
Speaker 4: The fact, you know, you mentioned the fact that it's

117
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,199
like calling somebody who's giant tiny. The fact they're calling

118
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,560
him hoops is not because he's great at basketball.

119
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: The opposite.

120
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 4: He is actually like he's never made a shot in

121
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:25,519
his life, right, he loves basketball.

122
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,519
Speaker 3: He's just terrible as even with even if the even

123
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,600
if the backboard is Curtis Armstrong's face and he can

124
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:33,480
move his arms to help, he still can't get it

125
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:33,879
in the hole.

126
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 4: And you know, there's that scene where he's he drawing

127
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:39,000
a picture, he wads it up, he throws it and

128
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,800
there's a little basketball hoop over his trash can and

129
00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:44,800
literally there's hundreds of pieces of paper around the trash can.

130
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,439
Nothing has gone in the basket.

131
00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I identified with that. Not good at basketball.

132
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:52,959
Speaker 4: So, as we said, I don't know if you listened

133
00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:54,000
to our last episode.

134
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: I did, I did. I listened to it.

135
00:06:57,639 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 4: John Cusack was in a fight with Savage Steve Holland

136
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,360
during the filming of One Crazy Summer.

137
00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 3: Twenty minutes into watching Better Off Dad, he walked out

138
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,240
and then bald Savage Steve Holland out, saying he tricked

139
00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:11,199
him and ruined his career.

140
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 4: Don't talk to me. Yeah, I'm never trusting you again. Yeah,

141
00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:18,360
you deceived me. Yeah, burned down the bridges. Never spoke

142
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,079
to Savage Steve Holland during the entire filming.

143
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:22,879
Speaker 3: How do you do that? I mean, yeah, and I

144
00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:26,319
think I think Savage Steve Holland, being the tenderhearted guy

145
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,839
we discussed, you know, he took it to heart. Like

146
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,120
he he stopped doing live action movies pretty much after that.

147
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,199
He drove him out of the business lit Yeah, I

148
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,319
mean he went and did animation and Eke the Cat and.

149
00:07:38,279 --> 00:07:39,079
Speaker 2: Stuff like that.

150
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,759
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, there's a there's an interesting seeing.

151
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,439
So Bill copp is the guy who's doing the animation

152
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:46,040
in One Crazy.

153
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 4: Summer, the Nipplely Fuzzy Bunnies.

154
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 3: The fuzzy Bunnies and there's a couple extra special, funny

155
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,120
but fuzzy bunnies that we're going to talk about, right right.

156
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,600
Bill copp is the guy who's doing that animation. He

157
00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:01,639
would go on just three years later to do animation

158
00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:06,240
on The Tracy Ullman Show of a new little bit

159
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:12,920
called the Simpsonzimpson. It's incredible. And then he and then

160
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,920
of course they worked together again when they did Eke

161
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,240
the Cat. But yeah, Bill Copp was same guy who

162
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,680
did the animation on that did the original animation on

163
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:22,720
The Simpsons. Fantastic, yep, fantastic.

164
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 4: Demi Moore plays Cassandra Eldridge in this movie. Yes, okay,

165
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,160
Demi Moore had a fantastic late eighties and nineties. Yes,

166
00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:33,960
this is pre mega hot demy. Yeah, but she's I

167
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:34,960
catching for sure.

168
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 3: Oh. I told Jeff Johnson when we covered this movie.

169
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,200
She it was all about her because she reminded me

170
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,639
of Lisa from the Revolution, Like she just playing her

171
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:46,399
guitar up there. She has the kind of cool hair.

172
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,039
They have similar facial features, and I thought both of

173
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:52,399
them were totally hot. So I think you're talking about Wendy.

174
00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: That was Wendy.

175
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Whindy plays the guitar. Yes, okay, well they were

176
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,440
all the game. Go back to our proper Raine episode.

177
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,399
Speaker 2: Hello Lisa, Hello Wendy, it's.

178
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 3: The water warm enough.

179
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 4: Here's the thing I wanted to bring up, Demi Moore Yes,

180
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:09,799
is the first actress to command ten million dollars. Oh okay,

181
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:12,120
can you name the movie that she got paid ten

182
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:17,759
million dollars for. I'm gonna guess it's either Indiecent Proposal

183
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:19,480
or Gi Jane.

184
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 3: You would be wrong on both.

185
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,159
Speaker 4: Oh okay, got hit me ten years after one crazy summer.

186
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,639

00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 4: Who yes, but she has never looked better.

189
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: My gosh, I haven't seen it. After I saw Show Girls,

190
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,600
I wasn't gonna watch another stripper movie. I was just like, no,

191
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,919
I don't want to ruin naked women for the rest

192
00:09:47,919 --> 00:09:48,519
of my life.

193
00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:52,039
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, that is a match made in heaven.

194
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,960
That is a Shirley matchup strip tease versus Showgirls.

00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,759
Speaker 3: What the heck happened? What the heck happened? I'm down.

00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 2: Okay, put it on the calendar.

198
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:02,799
Speaker 3: All right.

199
00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:05,639
Speaker 4: Now, here's my little tidbit on Demi Moore. I mean,

200
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:07,480
we've lived up with her, we know a million things

201
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:09,639
about her, Bruce Willis and her kids.

202
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 3: She just want a golden globe by the way I

203
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,080

239
00:11:42,639 --> 00:11:46,879

240
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, he played whatever his goofy sidekick friend is in Moonlin.

241
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,679
I can't remember his name now, Yeah, mister Pesto's love interest. Yep,

242
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,960
but he's world famous for playing Booger and he was

243
00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:02,799
hired because Savage Deeve Holland liked his performance in Risky Business.

244
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: Correct.

245
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,759
Speaker 4: Okay, Bobcat gold Weight.

246
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: Let me tell you a story about a little fat

247
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,960
boy that nobody loved and that all the other kids

248
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,399
they just make fun of them, and they would pick

249
00:12:19,399 --> 00:12:22,519
on him and then and then they used to say

250
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:23,480
that he talked.

251
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: Funny and stuff.

252
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,759
Speaker 3: This one is This one is a great story, by

253
00:12:26,759 --> 00:12:30,639
the way. Okay, okay, so you're we're covering casting right now, right,

254
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:36,960
And so Bobcat Goldthwaite was among several people who auditioned

255
00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:40,720
for the part of Hoop's best friend that Joel Murray.

256
00:12:40,519 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: Ends up getting.

257
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:46,159
Speaker 3: Okay, the movie originally did not have the Stork Twins

258
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,480
had one stork. Bobcat Goldthwaite goes in and auditions for it.

259
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:55,960
Was it egg stork? No, no, no, the the best friend.

260
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,440
His name is George Klamariy Kalamaria is like, I know

261
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,559
it's a seafoo right, So he auditions for that part

262
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:08,080
and after the audition, Savage Steve Holland says, listen, you're

263
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,799
not right for this part, but I love what you're doing.

264
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,519
Let me write apart for you. And that's how the

265
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,240
Stork Twins become brothers instead of just one character. Oh okay,

266
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:21,080
that's good. Yeah, So he wrote the part specifically for

267
00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:24,519
Bobcat Goldthwaite. And I got another juicy nugget that I'm

268
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:27,000
gonna tell you about in a minute on Bobcat Goldwaite,

269
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:27,559
but not right now.

270
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 4: Okay, I've got something on him real quick. Okay, I

271
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,960
don't want to steal your thunder, but did you see

272
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:34,519
the Tonight Show appearance that he had with Jay Leno.

273
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,519
Speaker 3: I think you sent me a YouTube clip of it.

274
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,360
Is this the one where he sets the chair on fire?

275
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:42,320
Set the chair on fire? Yeah, and Jay Leno wanted

276
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,480
to kill him? Okay, he turns around, he puts some

277
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:49,360
sort of accelerate on Lewis and just light set sucker

278
00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:51,799
on fire. And then he tries to walk off the

279
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,080
stage and totally slips and falls on the lighter fluid. Right, yeah,

280
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,639
and Leno is super like, you put out this fire.

281
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,279
Speaker 4: You know it was a really bad deal. And I

282
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,840
know John Reid can't stand Bob kat Goldwaite really not

283
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:10,120
a Police Academy fan. You know, he's really good in

284
00:14:10,159 --> 00:14:13,639
Police Academy and I think he's Please Academy two.

285
00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:16,639
Speaker 3: Because there were a lot of unanswered questions from Police

286
00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:21,120
Academy one. Yes, I've got a funny story. I'll tell

287
00:14:21,159 --> 00:14:21,559
you after.

288
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,879
Speaker 4: I we talked about Joel Murray, Okay, Joel Murray who

289
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:28,399
plays George Calamary. Yes, that's Hoops's best friend.

290
00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:32,919
Speaker 3: Yes, oh no, please anything but Juli.

291
00:14:34,159 --> 00:14:36,919
Speaker 4: That's Bill Murray's little brother. Brian Doyle Murray's little brother.

292
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:40,759
He auditioned for the part of George Calamarray. Right when

293
00:14:40,799 --> 00:14:45,200
he saw Jeremy Piven, who is actually John Cusack's best

294
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,799
friend roommates, they were roommates. Roommates, Yeah, come in to audition.

295
00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:51,360
He's like, I'm not going to get this party. John

296
00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:54,679
Cusack's best friend is auditioning for the part of best friend.

297
00:14:54,919 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, no chance, Right, he probably didn't know that John

298
00:14:57,919 --> 00:15:00,159
Cusack had just told Savage see Holland that he go

299
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,879
jump off of ship. That's right.

300
00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:07,279
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, you're best friends now your enemy haven't

301
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:11,399
like yeah, So of course Jeremy Piven didn't get that part.

302
00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:12,639
He gets the part of.

303
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:15,559
Speaker 2: Like sidekicked guy number two.

304
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: Right.

305
00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 4: But when Bob Cat, Goldthwaite and Joe Murray show up

306
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,960
to set, first thing they do is like, well, let's

307
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:22,519
go meet.

308
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 3: Cusack, right, do you know the story? No?

309
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:27,879
Speaker 4: So Joe Murray's like, I know he's his room is

310
00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:30,799
let's go down and meet him. Right, So Bob Kat

311
00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:33,240
Goldwaite and Joel Murray go down to John Cusack's room,

312
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:35,679
knock on his door, and they go inside and they're

313
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:37,440
shaking hands. Hey, how you doing, good to meet you.

314
00:15:37,799 --> 00:15:41,399
We're doing this project whatever. Bob Cat Goldthwaite spies with

315
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,440
his little eye an American Express card that belongs to

316
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,080
John Cusack, so he writes down the numbers and then

317
00:15:47,159 --> 00:15:50,080
like throughout the course of the movie, he buys things

318
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,759
and has them shipped to John Cusack's room, which I

319
00:15:53,799 --> 00:15:56,159
thought was a hilario awesome, great one.

320
00:15:56,399 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 3: So we talked about who auditioned for Calamari Yes, and

321
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:04,360
we mentioned that Bob Kat Goldthwaite did yes, and the

322
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,159
Jeremy Piven did yes, and obviously Joel Murray did yes.

323
00:16:08,919 --> 00:16:10,919
Speaker 2: Do you know who option?

324
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: No?

325
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,919
Speaker 2: No, Robert Downey Jr. Auditioned and did not get the part.

326
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,399
Speaker 3: What yes for best friend? Yeah?

327
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:20,799
Speaker 1: Wow?

328
00:16:21,159 --> 00:16:23,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, But I mean keep in mind, this is nineteen

329
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,080

00:17:06,039 --> 00:17:08,519
probably twenty five when he played this part exactly.

346
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:10,319
Speaker 2: That's hilarious.

347
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:10,599

362
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:51,839
seen in a movie.

363
00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 4: Not only that, but she's rocking that two piece. Yes,

364
00:17:56,799 --> 00:18:00,839
and in nineteen eighty six, I'm might be picking her

365
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,000
over Demi Moore in eighty six. Yeah, okay, yeah, in

366
00:18:04,079 --> 00:18:05,400
ninety six. I'm picking Demi Moore.

367
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,759
Speaker 3: But here's the thing I mentioned.

368
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: To you.

369
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 3: A little medical procedure later and.

370
00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 4: Exactly, yeah, exactly. Hey, I saw about last night.

371
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:16,279
Speaker 3: That's before.

372
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,519
Speaker 4: She's from Arkansas. Really, she's from Fort Smith, Arkansas.

373
00:18:23,759 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: That's where I'm from. Exactly.

374
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,759
Speaker 4: Okay, she's from Booneville.

375
00:18:27,799 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: Do you know where Booneville is? Well, Booneville is not

376
00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:32,599
Fort Smith. It's a small town outside of Fort Smith.

377
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,839
But that's yeah. No, we played Boonville in high school

378
00:18:35,839 --> 00:18:38,559
for sports. I went to Greenwood High School. Boonville was

379
00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:42,119
a kind of a nemesis. Actually, she was a cheerleader

380
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,640
for that team. Oh wow, any chance you were in

381
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:46,839
the stands at the same time?

382
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: How old? When was she born?

383
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,319
Speaker 3: Sixty one? I think, oh, well, that's that fourteen years

384
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,079
before I was born. So at kindergarten at five years old,

385
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,799
she'd have been nineteen, so I don't think so.

386
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, all right, here's my nugget. Okay, all right,

387
00:19:01,279 --> 00:19:05,880
So Kimberly Foster had she was cookie, she'd been in

388
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,359
a couple of soap operas, and I mean, you know,

389
00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:12,200
TV spots here and there, not much going on, but

390
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,960
she's she looks great in this movie. Okay, she had

391
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,880
a relationship with a famous person that we've talked about

392
00:19:21,599 --> 00:19:25,279
in nineteen eighty five slash nineteen eighty six. Okay, same

393
00:19:25,319 --> 00:19:28,640
time period, keep in mind, yeah, okay, actually two people.

394
00:19:29,079 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 2: Okay, she had a relationship.

395
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,599
Speaker 4: We had a relationship with this one guy and then

396
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,799
this other guy, and we've talked about this, Okay. One

397
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,640
of those peoples was Jack Wagner and the other person,

398
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:46,519
nick six.

399
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 3: Shut up. She was the girl. I don't know if

400
00:19:49,279 --> 00:19:52,599
she was the girl, but she was a girl. Oh

401
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,400
my gosh, Oh my gosh.

402
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 4: Explain why your mind is blown?

403
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 3: Well, because that's the So I don't.

404
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,839
Speaker 4: Think it's the same person because it called her pole. Yeah,

405
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,359
I mean, oh gosh, but I guess it could be.

406
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it would be really weird. It would be

407
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,119
really weird. But like he basically, Nicky six was severely

408
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,920
addicted to heroin at the time, and he talks to

409
00:20:20,279 --> 00:20:24,279
people about going and breaking Jack Wagner's legs, and then

410
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,599
that that Monday, Jack Wagner shows up with a broken

411
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,440
leg and the girlfriend is like, oh my gosh, did

412
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,319
you really do it. No, he fell off the stage.

413
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,599
It was just this weird kind of coincidence that, you know,

414
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,039
Nicky six had hired somebody to go break his legs

415
00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:38,559
and then he did it on him. He did it

416
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,039
all on his own.

417
00:20:40,079 --> 00:20:43,519
Speaker 4: In a jealous rage because they were sharing the same girl.

418
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nicky six hated Jack Wagner. How many times has

419
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,920
Jack Wagner come up in a Shirley Can't be Serious podcast?

420
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,119
I can't even keep track?

421
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 4: Once against Nuts, Jack Wagner had a one hit wonder

422
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,599
called All I Need, and Nicky six responded by writing

423
00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:02,960
a song for the Girls Girls Girls album.

424
00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:06,599
Speaker 3: Called You're All I Need as a f.

425
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:09,799
Speaker 4: You to Jack Wagner over this shared girlfriend.

426
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,079
Speaker 3: It's crazy and this girl from Booneville, Arkansas, Oh my

427
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,240
goodness could be her? Wow from one crazy summer you

428
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,000
you exceeded my expectations.

429
00:21:20,599 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 4: Wow, Wow, thank you very much.

430
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 3: Wow. Okay, good I like that?

431
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.

432
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 4: Mark medcalf is in this movie. Yes, he plays Niedermeyer

433
00:21:32,519 --> 00:21:35,000
in Animal House, yep, which we've talked about. He's the

434
00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:37,440
mean dad and the Twisted Sister videos.

435
00:21:37,759 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 2: Right, yep.

436
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 3: He's good to being the mean dad.

437
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 4: He's great, right, Yeah, he also has something in common

438
00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:49,279
with Bob kat Goldwaite. They've both been in twisted Sister videos.

439
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 3: I could a couldn't mind but slap your fat face.

440
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 4: John Mettusac, Yeah, plays stain. We just got done speaking

441
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,400
about John Mitchusack last episodes.

442
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, when we were talking about the Goonies. John Metusac

443
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,880
is a professional football player who became an actor. Yes,

444
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,319
and this is probably the third time I've said it

445
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,279
in these podcasts that we've done. But he was playing

446
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,960
for both leagues, which wasn't allowed, and they had to

447
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:20,039
serve him papers on the field of cease and desist.

448
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,880
You cannot be playing for both of these AFL and

449
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,400
NFL or whatever it was. Then. Yes, So then he

450
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:29,279
is the pink hair at the beginning, the pink haired

451
00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:33,000
biker guy that's chasing after Demi Moore that John Cusack

452
00:22:33,079 --> 00:22:35,319
ends up saving by doing the thing with the cash

453
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:40,039
or whatever. He goes on to play sloth in the

454
00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:45,279
Goonies maybe rude. Yes, he plays such a memorable part.

455
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,039
And then the poor guy is so caught up in

456
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,920
drugs and alcohol that he ends up dying of an overdose.

457
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 4: Couple of years after this tragic it is tragic. Hey,

458
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,440
I want to talk about that scene for just a

459
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,440
second since we're here. Okay, So the motorcycle guy, Johnny

460
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,279
tussack Stain is chasing Cassandra.

461
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 3: She de me Moore's character.

462
00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:06,559
Speaker 4: She runs into the bathroom. She hides into the stall,

463
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,599
but before she does, she hides a bunch of cash

464
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,720
in the paper towel holder. Yep, well, John Cusack he

465
00:23:13,839 --> 00:23:17,359
comes in and he doesn't know she's hiding in there anyway.

466
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,839
He goes to take a paper towel out and one

467
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,000
hundred dollars bill falls out, and so he realizes, well,

468
00:23:22,319 --> 00:23:25,279
they're looking for this, so he grabs the water cash

469
00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:28,519
that belongs to her that she's trying to hide and

470
00:23:28,599 --> 00:23:31,480
protect from this guy, and he turns around. He's like, hey, guys,

471
00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:33,359
you're looking for this, and just like throws the money.

472
00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:37,720
I'd be like, thanks a lot, you jerk. I had

473
00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:40,880
that hidden, yeah, and you just you just screwed the

474
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,000
whole pooch. But instead she falls in love with him.

475
00:23:44,079 --> 00:23:46,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's an eighties movie, right.

476
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:49,599
Speaker 4: Okay, I want to bring up Matt mulhern to you.

477
00:23:50,039 --> 00:23:51,599
Speaker 3: Okay, he plays Teddy.

478
00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:54,599
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, you've touched my car.

479
00:23:54,839 --> 00:23:56,759
Speaker 3: Right, Well, let me just get a clean then you

480
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,440
talk to a guy, don't touch my car.

481
00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:01,799
Speaker 4: I'm not so sure. He doesn't do a better job

482
00:24:01,839 --> 00:24:04,960
of being the bully than Aaron Dogier, who played Stalin

483
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:05,720
in Better Off Dead.

484
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,559
Speaker 3: He's he is also great, definitely is awesome, top notch.

485
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,359
Love the swim scene where he's got the floaties on

486
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,039
his arms. I mean the absurdity of some of this stuff,

487
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,640
Like I watched some of these Dan Schneider shows that

488
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,440
my kid watched him, like this is such dumb comedy.

489
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,240
But I go back and watch these movies. I'm like, Okay,

490
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,400
well I was laughing I at the same ridiculous stuff

491
00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:27,759
back in nineteen eighty six.

492
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,279
Speaker 4: Right, the ludicrous scene where there's lobsters like pinned to

493
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,960
their bathing suits clearly not attached. Right, it looks stupid, right, Okay.

494
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:38,599
I want to bring something up about him. So he

495
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,200
plays this great bully, huh, I don't really. He played

496
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,839
like a military dad and a TV show in the

497
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:44,720
early nineties.

498
00:24:45,799 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 3: He's done some stuff. He made a career until about

499
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,039
twenty fifteen. Okay, then he quits.

500
00:24:51,599 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 4: He goes back to Fordham University and he's working on

501
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,599
his PhD in history, which I think is fascinating.

502
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 2: Cool.

503
00:24:58,079 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 4: But before he does that, in two thousand and he

504
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,000
writes and directs.

505
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,759
Speaker 3: Two movies okay, okay, two thousand and five, two thousand

506
00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:05,039
and five.

507
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,799
Speaker 4: One is called Walking to the Waterline and one is

508
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:09,079
called Dwayne Hopwood.

509
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,319
Speaker 3: Okay, never heard of him?

510
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 4: No, Dwayne Hopwood stars David Swimmer. Friends Rights Ross and

511
00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:19,400
Roger Ebert called Dwayne Hopwood one of two thousand and

512
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:25,000
five's best films, written and directed by Matt mulhern, who

513
00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:25,680
plays Teddy.

514
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,279
Speaker 3: Wow, I kind of want to watch it now, I know, right, Okay, interesting, Okay, good, Okay.

515
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 4: You also have rich a little who's playing the radio

516
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:38,160
DJ yep okay, which when I saw this in the theater,

517
00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:41,599
that maybe got the biggest laugh from me. Huh, because

518
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,720
the uncle is trying to play that that win a

519
00:25:43,759 --> 00:25:47,680
million dollars thing it could be any moment, any second,

520
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,799
and he keeps trying to go to the bathroom. He's like,

521
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,240
but it's not right now. And this poor guy is

522
00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:55,599
just suffering all summer trying to win this million dollars.

523
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,680
And then he finally wins the contest because he's the

524
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,720
number seven collar after they play the jingle whatever, and

525
00:26:02,759 --> 00:26:06,359
then he's he's walking around in like the Tasmanian Devil.

526
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,880
He unplugs the radio from the wall, the phone or

527
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,799
the phone excuse me, and they're like, oh sorry, we're

528
00:26:13,799 --> 00:26:16,640
just connected. They go next caller, and then she wins

529
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,000
and he takes a rocket launcher and destroys the radio

530
00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:22,400
station at the very end of the movie, which I

531
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:22,960
thought was.

532
00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: Really funny, hysterical.

533
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 4: Then you've got Tom Villard who plays Clay Stork.

534
00:26:28,599 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 3: Right, Tom Villard, uh, the other the other twin, not

535
00:26:32,039 --> 00:26:34,960
Bobcat Goldwaite, but the tall guy who gets beat up,

536
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,160
which is the impetus in the head. Ye, yeah, he

537
00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:41,599
hit you, yes, And then they they it's a great

538
00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:45,759
payoff because they they chop his car up. That was

539
00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:46,559
a great reveal.

540
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:47,799
Speaker 2: It was a great reveal.

541
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 4: He loves that Ferrari, you know, at the very beginning, he's.

542
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:55,839
Speaker 3: Like, you touched my car. He's like, what you touched

543
00:26:55,839 --> 00:26:56,359
my car?

544
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 4: Right, So they chop up at Ferrari and it becomes

545
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,160
the end for how they win the race.

546
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 3: That's it. Yeah.

547
00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:06,599
Speaker 4: Tom Villard studied under Lee Strasburg, which we talked about.

548
00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: Especially in our Godfather episode of Father episode Father part two,

549
00:27:10,079 --> 00:27:13,200
to be precise. That's right, played Roth, Eli Roth. It's right,

550
00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:15,079
he's the bad guy. Yeah, they're all bad guys. I mean.

551
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,079
Strasburg is very well known as one of the most

552
00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:20,680
influential acting teachers of the nineteen fifties.

553
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,799
Speaker 2: That's right, yeah, sixties.

554
00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 4: Tom Villard passed away at age forty one.

555
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 2: It's yeah, yep, all right.

556
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 3: Taylor Negrin is also in this. He plays Taylor there

557
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,119
you go, right, and he's with rich Hall, thank you,

558
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,480
not rich Little and they're making fun of Bosco the

559
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,319
poor ugly dog, and Squid rolls the window up and

560
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,799
gets their ties. That's funny, it's great.

561
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 4: Rich Hall was on not necessarily the News, which is

562
00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:50,039
a show on HBO. I remember, and they had a

563
00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:51,799
little segment called Sniglets.

564
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,039
Speaker 3: Yeah. He made probably a boatload of money because he'd

565
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,880
like made books out of sniglets, own at least three

566
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:58,160
of those.

567
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: But oh wow, okay.

568
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, words that not in the dictionary but should be right, right, Yeah?

569
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,640
I remember one was schlit stop somebody who could play

570
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,720
softball and also drink beer at the same time.

571
00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: No play should stop, right.

572
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 4: One other person I want to bring up is Billy Bird.

573
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,440
She plays the grandmother who charges them for the food.

574
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 3: Yes.

575
00:28:19,079 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 4: And she was the grandma also in Sixteen Candles.

576
00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 3: Yes.

577
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 4: And she's hilarious.

578
00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 3: All right.

579
00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 4: So that is the end of casting for One Crazy

580
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,640
Summer unless you got something else.

581
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,519
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is we're past casting. But there's the

582
00:28:31,559 --> 00:28:34,720
cast member that I've got to bring up. Okay, yeah, okay.

583
00:28:35,079 --> 00:28:38,440
So you remember in One Crazy Summer there's this the

584
00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:40,960
drive in movie scene right where he goes and gets

585
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,039
the ridiculously large popcorn.

586
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:43,279
Speaker 1: Right.

587
00:28:43,359 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: He's hiding in the bushes in the front seat, right.

588
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,160
But they're watching this movie, which is obviously a horror movie.

589
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,759
And I'm watching this thing and I'm thinking this has

590
00:28:51,839 --> 00:28:54,319
got to be a ripoff of Thriller. Right. She's even

591
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,440
yelling Michael Michael, yeah you know, And I'm just like, oh, okay,

592
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,079
so I'm thinking Savage Steve Holland ripped off Thriller. Well

593
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:06,960
here's what happened instead, Savage Steve Holland didn't direct that

594
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,359
little extra movie that they're because it's not a real movie.

595
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,480
It's it's one that they made for this movie. The

596
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,599
one who did direct it is Bobcat Golthwaite. Yes, He's like,

597
00:29:16,839 --> 00:29:20,799
Bob ka Goothwaite's like, are you gonna direct this other movie?

598
00:29:20,799 --> 00:29:23,480
You're gonna do it? He's like, unless you know somebody.

599
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,160
He's like, yeah, I'll do it. And so he had

600
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,160
his own separate crew, separate lighting. Everything was different, which

601
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,920
is why it looks different. But got Bobcat Goldthwaite is

602
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,559
the one who directed the movie that is playing at

603
00:29:34,599 --> 00:29:37,680
the drive in movie in. I love that. That's so good.

604
00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:40,160
That's so good. Jeff and I talked about this. I

605
00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:42,759
was like, wouldn't it be cool if we actually saw

606
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,480
what that movie was? Like? When he does his watch

607
00:29:45,519 --> 00:29:47,119
a sp prequel thing, I'm like, what if it was

608
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,000
you know, what if it was that movie? And then

609
00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:51,960
we're watching one crazy summer as at the drive in

610
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,559
in that movie it's nice tea question.

611
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know the name of that movie, like the

612
00:29:56,559 --> 00:29:57,640
fictional name of the movie.

613
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: Now Chainsaw date and hemorrhoids from hell.

614
00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:07,359
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, okay, yeah, all right, that doesn't her casting.

615
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,759
Are we on to tidbits?

616
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:09,279
Speaker 2: What do you want to do?

617
00:30:09,359 --> 00:30:12,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it? All right? Blow my mind? Man?

618
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,559
Speaker 4: All right, let's stay right here on one crazy summer.

619
00:30:14,599 --> 00:30:17,559
I got some tidbits for you here. Okay, So there

620
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,200
is a teddy bear, a little teddy bear that George's

621
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,480
grandmother gives to his sister. Yes, that is the same

622
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,119
little teddy bear that Lane is going to give to Beth.

623
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 3: Such a throwaway scene like it, right, yeah, because it's

624
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,839
he's you don't hear her voice. You just hear him

625
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,319
talking to her on the phone and he's like, oh, Roy, botcha,

626
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,400
what a giant teddy bear. And he's got the little, tiny,

627
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:46,720
little palm sized tedest thing ever, cutest thing ever. Well,

628
00:30:46,759 --> 00:30:49,599
I gotta go the Christmas trees on right.

629
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,839
Speaker 4: Okay, So this movie was shot in Nantucket and they're

630
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,279
One of the little subplots of this movie is that

631
00:30:59,319 --> 00:31:00,519
they're filming a movie.

632
00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:03,359
Speaker 3: There once was a girl from Nantucker. Sorry I can't

633
00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:08,160
finish the right, but they're filming a movie there. Remember

634
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,279
what the movie is? The dolphin, The dolphin, the rabbid dolphin,

635
00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:15,799
the dolphin with rabies. Yes, yeah, foam too. Does that

636
00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:17,960
sound like any other movie you might have heard?

637
00:31:18,119 --> 00:31:18,359
Speaker 2: Yes?

638
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,799
Speaker 3: And if you and if you listen, I'm sorry, if

639
00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:22,680
you listen to the film, buy that I did with

640
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,160
Jeff Johnson. I so frustrated him on this. Yeah. Okay,

641
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,440
So in the movie, they're filming this rabbid dolphin Jaws

642
00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:35,000
ripoff movie, right right, okay, And then key moment in

643
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:37,680
this movie is the big boat race. Right. Yes, you

644
00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:40,839
have this fantastic montage where they take this old crappy

645
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,400
boat and you see them painting and making it pe and.

646
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: All this other stuff.

647
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 4: Eighties montage, love it eighties montage.

648
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,799
Speaker 3: And right after the eighties montage, you have this kind

649
00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:52,400
of you know, filler b roll scene. Right now, I

650
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,759
am a busy guy, and so I don't usually get

651
00:31:54,759 --> 00:31:57,119
to watch a whole movie in one sitting anymore. And

652
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,640
so I've watched three quarters of this movie and then

653
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,480
I'm like watching the rest of it on the phone

654
00:32:02,079 --> 00:32:04,000
as I'm you know, in the gym, waiting for my

655
00:32:04,079 --> 00:32:06,000
kid to come back with the car or whatever, right,

656
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,559
And I'm watching this on my phone and this this

657
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,160
little b roll thing, and I just kind of I

658
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,319
glanced at I'm like, what the heck did I just see?

659
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,599
And I do a little double tap. I get it

660
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,759
to go back ten seconds, and in this little transitional

661
00:32:20,799 --> 00:32:24,359
b roll thing, they're out of the boat docks. It's morning,

662
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,640
the sun's just coming up, and you see a shooting

663
00:32:27,759 --> 00:32:34,000
star go across the sky and I'm like, holy crap,

664
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,279
that is fantastic because it's right out of Jaws. Right.

665
00:32:38,319 --> 00:32:41,200
Everybody knows that the shot shooting stars. They're like, Spielberg,

666
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,480
how'd you do it? He's like, I got lucky. It

667
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,279
just happened. But savage Steve Holland is a genius and

668
00:32:47,319 --> 00:32:50,960
he throws this in without telling anybody, obviously an homage

669
00:32:51,039 --> 00:32:54,720
to that scene. And I texted Jeff Johnson, I'm like,

670
00:32:54,759 --> 00:32:56,160
did you catch the falling Star?

671
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

672
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 3: He said he was playing golf when I sent the text,

673
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,680
and he was like he was so excited to tell

674
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,240
me about this scene. Thought he was going to blow

675
00:33:04,319 --> 00:33:07,319
my mind. And he was like, son of a bitch.

676
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,000
I love that. I love that.

677
00:33:12,079 --> 00:33:15,119
Speaker 4: They don't really even pause to take time for you

678
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,720
to look at it. It's just if you know Jaws

679
00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:20,640
really well, then you recognize him wink and a nod

680
00:33:21,119 --> 00:33:22,319
as subtle as it be.

681
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: It's great, so good.

682
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,759
Speaker 4: Right, So clearly Foam two is based on Josh jos Right, Yeah, okay,

683
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,960
came out after Jaws three probably was better.

684
00:33:33,319 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 3: Go check out Our Jaws three What the heck happened? Episode? Yes? Okay?

685
00:33:40,279 --> 00:33:43,559
Speaker 4: And then one thing I wanted to bring up about Akak.

686
00:33:44,359 --> 00:33:47,279
The name Akak is such a weird name, right, Yeah.

687
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,559
So Akak is the airport call letters for the island

Speaker 2: Ah right, okay a c K.

724
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,400
to Better Off Dead, Okay, I got one more tidbit

725
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,079
for you. Okay. Yeah, So we mentioned our last episode

726
00:35:25,159 --> 00:35:28,320
that Savage Steve Holland when he was a young boy,

727
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,599
he would make movies at home which starred his sister,

728
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,760
Yes whose name, whose nickname was Squid. Squid just like

729
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:41,519
the sister in One Crazy Summer right when Calamari comes

730
00:35:41,559 --> 00:35:45,320
in with the trashy hot girls, one of them is

731
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:51,360
his real Savage Steve Holland's sister's.

732
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that that's a good one, man, Okay.

733
00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 3: Tidbit on Better Off Dead?

734
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 2: Okay.

735
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,559
Speaker 4: One of the most memorable scenes from Better Off Dead

736
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,079
is this little daydream break that we take where there's

737
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:06,360
a van Halen playing hamburger yeah and swimming French fries.

738
00:36:06,639 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 3: Everybody wants some from women and children first, right, that's right, okay, Yeah.

739
00:36:10,679 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 4: So that was actually not part of the original script.

740
00:36:14,599 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like going to be a fried rat,

741
00:36:17,039 --> 00:36:19,480
like from Savage Steve Holland when he worked in fast food,

742
00:36:19,519 --> 00:36:22,320
he had heard that somebody actually ate fried rat because

743
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,159
the rat had fallen into the fryer or whatever.

744
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's all those urban legends, right, he worked at McDonald's.

745
00:36:27,599 --> 00:36:30,159
He heard about some rat that got fried up as

746
00:36:30,159 --> 00:36:32,639
a hamburger. They were going to put that in the movie,

747
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,639
and one of the producers like, that's not funny, that's

748
00:36:35,679 --> 00:36:38,000
just disgusting, right, So they had to come up with

749
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,239
something else, and they came.

750
00:36:39,119 --> 00:36:44,599
Speaker 3: Up with the van Halen playing hamburger yeah, which is awesome, right,

751
00:36:44,679 --> 00:36:47,639
And everybody, the producer still thought it was stupid. It

752
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,159
was the most talked about scene after they did their

753
00:36:51,199 --> 00:36:54,840
screening for really test audiences. Yes, how about that?

754
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you never know.

755
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,599
Speaker 4: That goes right hand in hand with the Vanalen Brothers

756
00:37:00,639 --> 00:37:02,239
and the Wilson sisters story.

757
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:03,599
Speaker 3: No, give it away.

758
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:05,039

821
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,920
some really well known songs being played. I mean Van Halen,

822
00:39:56,079 --> 00:39:57,719
You've got Van Halen a Better Off Dead.

828
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 3: Who does a lot of the songs.

829
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,840

Speaker 2: Right.

834
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,119
Speaker 3: I think that might have been on a top ten

835
00:40:27,199 --> 00:40:29,559
list when you were talking, when we were talking about heart.

836
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,079
Speaker 2: Maybe so, yeah, maybe so.

837
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 3: Okay. So he does a couple of known songs.

838
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 4: One of them is called Arrested by You, kind of

839
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,159
the love theme of Better Off Dead.

840
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, yeah.

top five of nineteen eighty five because I got a

song from Howard Jones on there. All right, are we two?

865
00:41:32,039 --> 00:41:35,960
Final judgment? Yeah, I think it's time, okay, before we do. Yeah.

866
00:41:36,039 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 4: Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel hated Better Off Debt.

867
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:45,119
Speaker 3: They could not have been more cruel, visceral, just awful,

868
00:41:45,599 --> 00:41:49,280
spitting vial all over the sad, nothing positive as you

869
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:54,239
say about this, and it's terrible. It's terrible that they

870
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:58,000
would do this to this wonderful I mean, it probably

871
00:41:58,079 --> 00:42:00,400
was the reason that this movie didn't do well because

872
00:42:01,559 --> 00:42:03,519
when I mean, we've been doing this for years now,

873
00:42:03,559 --> 00:42:06,119
and when Better Off Deed comes up, people go nuts.

874
00:42:06,159 --> 00:42:08,199
They're like, this is such a great movie that was

875
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:12,039
so unappreciated, and it's I have to think, partially dude

876
00:42:12,039 --> 00:42:14,000
to the bad reviews it was getting from the critics,

877
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,760
when it's such a wonderful little it's so s eighties

878
00:42:18,199 --> 00:42:19,440
high school comedy.

879
00:42:19,559 --> 00:42:23,039
Speaker 4: It's funny, it's absurd, it's sweet as genuine, both of

880
00:42:23,039 --> 00:42:26,840
these movies and so savage. Steve Holland responded by having

881
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,159
a couple of the fuzzy bunnies.

882
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,199
Speaker 3: Look exactly well, look very similar to well, one is

883
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,440
kind of heavy and has glasses and the other one

884
00:42:34,519 --> 00:42:37,480
is tall and thin and get massacred or.

885
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 4: Something that was submachine guns.

886
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:46,079
Speaker 3: Right, so funny because he's not bitter. Yeah, that's great. Yeah,

887
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:50,079
all right, okay, so time for final judgment. Judgment. Okay.

888
00:42:50,119 --> 00:42:52,519
I usually say you go first, I'll go first this time. Okay.

889
00:42:52,679 --> 00:42:54,119
So here's the thing. I know that I'm going to

890
00:42:54,159 --> 00:42:56,360
be in the minority in this. I'm confident that I'm

891
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,239
going to be in the minority in this because I know.

892
00:43:00,079 --> 00:43:02,719
I mean giving it right away. I love both of

893
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,599
these movies. But to me, he upped his game on

894
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,760
movie number two, even though John Cusack you know, obviously

895
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:15,000
hated it. I thought that he brought his his botheredness

896
00:43:15,039 --> 00:43:17,280
that he had with Savage Steve Holland or whatever, it

897
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:21,639
translated well into his character of Hoops. And then you

898
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,039
increased the cast. In my opinion, I love Diane Franklin,

899
00:43:25,119 --> 00:43:30,679
but Demmy Moore better. And you've got bobcat Goldthwaite, funnier,

900
00:43:31,199 --> 00:43:33,880
you've got Joel Murray funnier.

901
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 2: You bring Curtis Armstrong.

902
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,559
Speaker 3: Back in an entirely different part, which is a nice

903
00:43:39,639 --> 00:43:42,880
juxtaposition with the crazy people that are there. I mean,

904
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,320
in my humble opinion, I think that One Crazy Summer

905
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,360
is more underappreciated than Better Off Dead. And so I'm

906
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,440
saying my pick of these two is One Crazy Summer. Wow.

907
00:43:57,159 --> 00:44:02,199
Speaker 4: All I have to say to that is okay. Let

908
00:44:02,199 --> 00:44:05,719
me just tell you I'm shocked at that. I think

909
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,599
Better Off That is clearly the funnier movie. I think

910
00:44:09,679 --> 00:44:13,239
it's more genuine. I think the love story works better.

911
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:19,880
I think Monique and Lane fit better than the nineteen

912
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,760
eighty six version of Demi Moore and Jack Cusack. So

913
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,000
for me, that story just works a little bit better.

914
00:44:26,039 --> 00:44:28,400
I just but I do love both of these movies.

915
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,000
I think One Crazy Summer is a little bit more absurd,

916
00:44:31,159 --> 00:44:33,320
but it's it's so fun and funny.

917
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,159
Speaker 3: But mark me down for Better Off ten. All right, Yeah,

918
00:44:37,199 --> 00:44:39,840
so guys, tell us what do you think. I'm confident

919
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,239
that Jason's going to get more votes his way on

920
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:46,000
this one, But that's okay. If you love One Crazy Summer,

921
00:44:46,119 --> 00:44:48,159
let me know that I'm not alone.

922
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 4: The next week, Yeah, we are starting a incredible three

And so, if you don't know, Chad Briggs is the

933
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,760
guy who hit us up and said, hey, war Games

935
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,960
and we're like, hey, come do it with us, not

936
00:45:28,159 --> 00:45:32,159

00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:48,039
over in the Pacific doing cool things and sends us

942
00:45:48,119 --> 00:45:50,840

946
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 4: It's gonna be great. Come back for that next week.

947
00:45:59,599 --> 00:46:01,480
All Right, I got a quick question for you. Okay,

948
00:46:01,679 --> 00:46:08,079
ranked these four Cookie Cassandra Beth Okay in nineteen eighty six.

949
00:46:09,159 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 3: This may surprise you actually, all right, okay, So lowest

950
00:46:13,199 --> 00:46:17,360
on my list is Cassandra is Demy Moore, who I mean,

951
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,000
I dug her? Yeah and all himpie thing, well the

952
00:46:21,119 --> 00:46:27,599
corn husks or is that what they're called? Right? But

953
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:32,199
she's I mean, I mean, if I'm just viewing from afar, now,

954
00:46:32,199 --> 00:46:34,440
if we pay, if we take the character she's a

955
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,800
guitar player, then up she's going up higher on the list.

956
00:46:37,079 --> 00:46:39,039
But if we're just going by, like I just see

957
00:46:39,079 --> 00:46:40,760
her at the bar, she's number four.

958
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 2: Okay.

959
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:46,519
Speaker 3: Number three is gonna be Cookie. She's a beautiful blonde,

960
00:46:46,559 --> 00:46:49,679
but she's just not my kind of type. And then

961
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,440
that's followed by another beautiful blonde, Amanda Wiss, who's again

962
00:46:53,599 --> 00:46:57,440
just not really my type. Number one for me is

963
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,800
Diane Franklin. I like Monique Unique. She is cute, she

964
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:07,639
is French language, and she's just she's very lovable and

965
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,960
just has a kind Her eyes are very kind. So

966
00:47:11,079 --> 00:47:13,519
I'm picking Monique is my top choice.

967
00:47:13,599 --> 00:47:15,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, all right, I bet you, well, so

968
00:47:15,679 --> 00:47:18,400
I got I got Beth. At number four, Laane needed

969
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:22,280
to cut her loose a long time before that, right, Okay, okay.

970
00:47:22,679 --> 00:47:28,360
Number three for me is going to be Demi Moore. Yeah, Cassandra, Yeah,

971
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,840
I like the hippie thing. But this is before she

972
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,800
really sprouts into the best version of her said if

973
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,679
you will, yes, okay. Number two, I've got Cookie. She

974
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,800
is rocking that that swimsuit, and I mean she looks great.

975
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:44,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.

976
00:47:45,039 --> 00:47:46,679
Speaker 3: And number one for me it's Monique.

977
00:47:47,079 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 2: We're in agreement.

978
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 3: We love the language lessons we do.

979
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep.

980
00:47:51,679 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 4: We want to hear from you. How do you rank

981
00:47:53,039 --> 00:47:53,440
these four
