Episode Transcript

(00:00):
The super Media Bros Podcast is afounding member of the Odd Pods media network
super Bros. During the holiday season, he has the hardest time getting to

(00:33):
come over here because he's doing likesix or seven days a week, like
twelve thirteen hours a day, andit's I'm not asking him to just Hey,
you've just like ran up for thirteenhours, come talk about dumb shit
with me. So yeah, Iwas like, well, screwed. I'm
just gonna actually make good all myword and put all my friends on our
fucking show for the rest of theyears. Welcome to the Super Media Bros

(00:57):
Podcast, where two best friends givecomedicallyan foreigner takes on movies, music,
pro wrestling, and much more.I'm Richie and Devin is being a slave
to the grind for the holidays again. So I decided to once again bring
some friends on. And I didn'tplan this at all, but it is
election mouff and I've got a moviethat has been talked about on Cult Cinema

(01:18):
Showdown before and we're going to reintroduceit in the Cult Cinema Saturday series FDR
American Badass. Now, if you'veheard this one before, it was on
our episode versus Abraham Lincoln versus Zombies, which was a ridiculous episode. And
I wanted to bring this back becausethe last time my guests are on here,
we talked about Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunterand that was a hell of a

(01:38):
fucking episode. This movie is muchmore dumb and like turn your brain off
kind of fun. So please welcomeback Tina and Hillary from the Muck Podcast.
What's going on y'all? Oh,hi, y'all do it? Hey?
Man? We're hanging in there.You hanging in there? Yeah,

(01:59):
trying to survive like everybody else.I feel that we're in the Florida hellscape.
So yeah, I read about FloridaMan and like Florida Man as a
broad term. Yes, we're goodwith that. We're fine with Florida Man,
right, Yeah, Oh, someFlorida Man stories are the best.
Yeah. That's that's a good comicrelief from all the shit that happens,

(02:21):
you know for sure. Yeah.So for those of you out there that
haven't heard about the Muck Podcast,are unfamiliar with what y'all do, give
them a sales pitch real quick,because like it's it makes sense that we're
having you guys on for this one. Every time someone asks us on a
podcast to talk about what we do, I'm like a humma and a humma,
humma. I don't know. Weare a political true crime podcast,
so, uh, you know,American politics. Can you imagine that they're

(02:44):
schemers and scammers involved. It's unbelievable. But we always have a lot of
talk to talk about. So everyweek we in the opening of the show,
we talk about local politics here inFlorida, but also we cover things
happening nationally, which there's still somuch going on. And then we one
of us will tell a story fromthe history of American politics. It could

(03:07):
be from last year, it couldbe from the eighteen hundreds, and really
kind of paint a picture of howhistory absolutely one repeats itself and how we
don't learn from ours our mistakes herein America, which is unfortunate for a
lot of people. But yeah,it's been kind of an exciting few years
in the politics and it's been funto follow and devastating to live through.

(03:29):
But uh, you know, it'sreally important to stay informed and we hope
that people get something out of that. Absolutely, And I fucking love what
you guys do over there. It'sbecause I like to be educated, but
it's always overwhelming for me to readeverything. So getting to listen to what
y'all talk about is like my schoolfor the week, every fucking week.

(03:51):
So that's nice, thank you forsure. And I figured this would be
a great relief from the bullshit thaty'all have to talk about sometimes, because
as y'all talk about history and Americanpolitics and how stuff re pezza itself,
this paints a fucking spoofed, lampoonedhistory of Franklin Delana Roosevelt. This was

(04:13):
so over the top. That's anunderstatement. It's an understatement to say that
this was so over the top.Yeah, this I was trying to explain
to somebody the other day. They'relike, well, how would you,
you know, describe this movie?And I was just like, it's kind
of like the movie Basketball as faras like the humor just being ridiculously like
just dumb, like it is thestupidest shit ever. And then the fact

(04:34):
that you got Barry Bostwick playing FDRwho just choose it up the whole time.
Oh my gosh, that's my favorite. Oh so good. Yeah,
I was. I was glad thaty'all seem to have liked it, you
know, just like a little bitmore than the last one. Even though
last one was pretty fucking like ridiculousand serious, this one was so much

(04:55):
more fun. This one was crazyfor me. I was like, what
am I watching it? Yeah?Oh my god, I loved it.
I loved it. Yeah. Sothe movie opens with him as governor hunting
with his friends, and this wholethis is this sets the scene for the
the stage I should say for theentire film, because the first time you
hear the word fuck come out ofhis mouth, it's like, Okay,

(05:15):
this is this is where we're goingwith it. Yeah, And then it
has the quote at the opening thatis bad assery is not born, but
often thrust upon you. And soI thought that was a fun you know,
it's like, Okay, what ishappening in this movie? Yeah,
it's it's always a good time wheneveryour main character gives the voice over right
at the front with that kind ofbullshit. So the fact that they explained

(05:39):
that his uh, I should shouldpreface this by saying, in the middle
of hunting they come across a werewolf, which that is a huge tie.
And for the rest of the filmas well, but they also explained that
this is where his polio comes from. Yes, his shri legs. Yeah.
But also like, whoever made thismovie is clearly a fan of teen

(06:02):
Wolf from the eighties and Michael J. Fox version, because the were wolf
in the woods looks exactly like theyare Wolf. Like. I couldn't get
over how funny that was that helooked just like it was almost exactly the
same costume from that movie. Andthen in the beginning too, it had
that little you know him with theTommy gun. Oh my god, yeah,

(06:24):
it was like that, and itwas like the spider Man, like
the batmana Batman Batman, that's whatI meant. I wrote Batman in between
scenes you see the Batman sixties TVshit kind of spin. I loved,
I loved love that. Yeah,it's so ridiculous. And I don't know
if anybody else out there that hasseen this movie notices this in this particular

(06:46):
scene, but whenever they are runningaway and the one guy falls down and
he's like, oh help me,I'm what do you say, I'm fat
and slow, and then efty Herswas like, oh, that that's you
know, He's pretty much like,well that that's what you get, you
know, and just be like aship. But whenever he's being destroyed and
all the blood spiders having, it'sonly Roosevelt getting hit with all the blood

(07:06):
right in his vicinity. You havenothing on him. The door when he
grabs the heart out of the otherguy and he throws it, hits somebody
in the face, he goes,was that worth taking all that time?
The reason with the werewolf? Likewas that necessary? Oh my god,
there's so much commentary with the werewolf? Yeah, it would just I thought

(07:28):
it was funny too that it wasvery political. Is you know, he's
bit by the werewolf, and thewerewolf is the cause of the pullia,
but they're kind of like covering thatup, right. And then the fact
that he runs for president on awerewolf campaign. I'm like, he's you
know what I mean, he's usingeverything, you know, as a politician
would to get himself elected, youknow. Yeah, And it's hilarious how

(07:48):
he decides to just say fuck itand run whenever he's in the hospital,
which I should note also his wifeis played by Lynn Shay, who I
fucking door. I love her somuch. Yes, she was in the
Great movie kingpin. She played right, She played the landlord and kingpin,
the filthy, disgusting landlord who wantedto her vagina to be kissed a lot.

(08:11):
So fucking funny. The second shewas on there, I was like,
oh my god. This. Bythe way, they were not like
a list actors, but I repYeah, so many people and you know,
not for nothing, but it kindof was filmed. It looked like
something I made when I was akid with my dad's camcorder, right,
Like, it wasn't the most professionallooking shot, but the actors they pulled

(08:33):
were incredible. I mean they alldelivered on a scene. Barry Boxwook was
so fucking good. I mean heyou're right, he ate every scene.
He played it as if he wasin a Martin Scorsese film, Like he
was like, I'm getting paid forthis, I'm gonna bring it like.
He was so fucking good in it. You want to hear a fun fact
about that. Yeah, he tookthis role within like a two day notice.

(08:56):
Oh my gosh, it's like heread it. It was like I'm
doing this and you can tell hewas having such a blast. Everybody on
that set was having a blast doingAnd that's what sells this movie. You
can tell when it's just phoned in. He was treating this like it was
gonna be in like a thousand goddamntheaters. Yeah, but also had a
like, I mean, this isgonna sound crazy, but he had like
a glimmer in his eye that he'sin on the joke, right, like

(09:18):
shows that this is supposed to befunny. He knows he's supposed to be
like, can't be and play itup? And he really did. He
knew what he was there for,and he was so good and that I
was believing every second of it becausewhen he's when he's sitting in the hospital
and they're telling him like, hey, like his wife's in there, and
they're like, dude, your legsaren't gonna work anymore. And then they
wheel and the kid in there,oh yes, yes, yes, but

(09:43):
he's so focused on his penis movie. Yeah, what about that? I
mean? And then he the wholemovie I need to line down. He
goes, what's everyone looking? Lookingso down? Cockworks? That was literally
like like why are you all upset? All? Does my cat still work?
And he would lift that blanket upand his legs were like the wiggly

(10:03):
legs. Oh my. It wasso fucking funny. Though. It was
so funny because once the girl's inthere and hands him his wheelchair though,
like whenever, it's like, yeah, I was waiting for I was waiting
for you, uh Tommy, TimmyTimmy to uh roll me U my wheelchair?
Yeah. Yeah, And the kid'sstuttering. He goes, God,
damn, I'm gonna have a stuttertoo. He's like, oh, thank

(10:26):
god, I was helped stutter.I was like Jesus Christ. It was
like ridiculous. Yeah, But bythe time they get out to that press
conference, we go full Trump,Like this guy becomes if FDR was Trump
running for office, like that's whathe literally seemed to be copying. And
the movie was made in twenty twelve, so it's not like Trump had been

(10:46):
running for office at that point.But it really did feel like a Trump
vibe of like, fuck y'all fuckingpress dry to me. Like it was
so funny in that way too.The fact too, that like the werewolves
end up being yeah, German likeall the world leaders, like that part
is like so funny, so ridiculous, And then that Lincoln had a similar

(11:09):
werewolf attack. You know, theylike they link him to Lincoln, and
I'm like, oh lord, herewe go. So good, right,
like vampires and were wolves, Likehe fucking first when we talked about Lincoln,
he was dealing with fucking vampires announcegoddamn were wolves. So yeah,
so fdr like pretty much like fuckthe Press, I'm gonna I'm just gonna

(11:30):
yollow it basically, and he fuckinggoes door to door across the East coast
and like the South and ship isso funny. He visits like before we
get to Cleveland, he gets toa dock worker like area and the entire
fucking dialogue is goddamn bon Jovi's living. Yeah, yeah, I mean a

(11:50):
couple of lines and I was like, wait a minute, I karaoke.
Yes, I'm sure I know thissong. This is so good I wrote
down. But by the way,the whole movie like this writer. By
the way I looked it up.He's born like a nineteen seventy seven,
so he's like my kid, Likethis kid, I think hanging out would
hit with this writer would be somuch fun. He also plays I think

(12:11):
he plays the character that in theSouth right, the husband, the Repubes.
Yeah, the Repute. I thinkthis guy would be so much fun
to hang out with him. Andthe references and also scattered throughout which I'm
sure we'll get to our like lyricsfrom rap songs, which isn't my strongest
suit when it comes to music,but I recognize a ton of them and
I was like, this kid,he's got music references. I was.

(12:33):
I just thought he would be somuch fun to be friends with. It
was. It was a lot offun. And the whole thing with the
Repubes was so funny. I waslike, oh, can we please call
them that? Yeah, we're nowyeah, sover just crack me up.
He's like, it was on,but no, it says it's official.
It was typed out, double spaced, even professionally, like I am a

(12:54):
Repube And then he's like I thinkyou mean repub like Republicans and he's like
no, like yes, yes youare, Yes you are, you are.
And then the thing with his cousinslash wife, he just offers up
to the men, you know,like yeah, like the whole fucking time
that they're at this Georgia house,that sinner, Oh my god, dude,

(13:15):
fucking George, the guy that comesout with the chalkboard and ship.
Yeah, that whole Like the waythat they do all the stuff I should
point out, like the way thatthey actually tackle a lot of the real
life issues that are happening like aroundthis time. It's very like it's smartly
done. Actually, it's very verywell done. And the way they do

(13:35):
the humor is not necessarily like demeaning. It's more or less like everybody is
in on it and they fucking knowwhat's happening, and they're just like,
yeah, no, we're gonna basicallygive the middle finger without actually showing you
the middle finger. So yeah,so good. Even the little like the
clip of which was right before weleft the South where they showed George just

(13:56):
playing with the basketball, Oh yeah, so out of place. Yeah,
just after the after like the hottubs. Yeah yeah, it's just even
that thrown in like this was this. I don't even know if this is
supposed to be here, but it'sso I was still laughing the whole time
they were showing it. I'm like, why is this here? It's so
funny though, because at the dinnertable, whenever they're sitting there there like

(14:18):
uh, not a little racist,and he's just like no, like they
took me in and and they're givingme food and they taught me how to
fucking spell and speaking all this shit. He's like, now, if you
excuse me, I'll be out inthe back playing basketball, like just real
like. And then when they showhim, he's yeah, when they show
him, he's going like full globetrotterthe whole time. It's so great.
Yeah. Yeah. There's some storythat Cleveland tells whenever he and FDR actually

(14:43):
go to their hot tub, whichcracks me the fuck up. When he's
talking about how he's at this campand like he wants it killed a were
wolf, and just the quote thathe fucking says where he's like, yeah,
I pulled out a small sterling silvercheese knife I keep tucked inside my
pants at all time, and Ikilled that son of a bitch on the
spot. And then the quote thathe like he's actually saying in the flash
black, he's like, that wasunnecessary and now you are dead, sir.

(15:05):
Yes, Oh my god, ohmy god, so funny. I
wrote that line down about the cheeseknife so good. That is actually a
clip on YouTube somewhere like that hasmade its rounds by itself, like no
context, and you don't need it. It's fucking hilarious when they're going to

(15:26):
leaves, like by the time theywere leaving this place, like they have
befriended each other, like to thepoint that Clevan is crying at the car,
being like yes, and then heoffers the wife up again. He's
like, I'll get I'll get she'llget you all the boats. I'll send
her outside of the zone is likeso over the top and long, and
even Barry Boss what you could tell, was cracking up, like he couldn't

(15:48):
keep the face. And he justkept going and kept going and kept going
with the crying, and finally theywere like okay, he was like the
drool was coming out. My god. It was, so we'll go,
honey, I'll go door to door. We'll suck as many digs as it
takes to get you stayed of Georgia. So I was like, Jesus,
that's a woman. Yeah, ohmy god. I mean at this point,

(16:11):
the repubes in twenty twenty three mighthave to go door to door to
start sucking dick. I mean forboth at this point, I mean,
these damn repubes. Yeah, repubes, these repubesubes, Oh my god.
And then the other thing I thoughtwas funny is the wife is always with
like the longest like thing that she'sknitting. Oh yeah, like it's just
random, but like there's no itdoesn't look pretty like she's just sitting there.

(16:37):
Yeah, and he doesn't do thefireside chatsy. But the whole scene
of when he gets elected with thesun wait wait wait are we there?
Yeah? Were there? Yeah?Next scene, that's the next scene yeah
yeah, and the bay wins yeah, because like I'm like, what is
happening. They're pouring milk and candyall over theirselves and like shirts off,

(16:57):
and the sun just takes a shaump in this face. I'm like,
what, it's utter debauchery. Butthat's like there are a couple of scenes
like that where they just go verylong and then just like keep the camera
roll. That was one of them, the guy crying. Then there's another
scene with the mass mustard and ketchuplater on, like they just keep going
and going and going, and theabsurdity level just rises. Yeah. And

(17:21):
I have to tell you watching it, you don't see movies like this all
the time anymore. And so Ireally appreciate the fact that it's like we
are gonna do whatever we want andwe don't care. And that's what I
felt about those scenes. It's justlike this this guy's out of his fucking
mind and he's just like you guysgo crazy. And this kid comes in
and shits in a vase, whichcomes up again later. I mean I
even actually looked up James Roosevelt becausehe did have a son named James,

(17:44):
which is the character's name, andI was like, did this guy shit
in jar somewhere that I don't knowabout? Is there a rumor or something
which there? I couldn't find anything, but I was like, is this
a is this a real thing?It was? The movie is like you
know the airplane you know I grewup. I was like, you know
the naked gun. You love nakedgun, and it just feels like a

(18:06):
naked gun airplane, but like timesone hundred. Yeah, you know what
I mean, Like it goes wellfurther than what those movies did, Yeah,
for sure. And I was laughingmy ass off when the Secret Service
agent did bust him, because he'sjust like, what the fuck, I'm
just kidding? Will the same shipwhen he was elected Wi Wilson, Oh

(18:29):
my god? Yeah? And youknow what though James James was like shitting
in jars and everything. You know, I gotta say he did it long
before you could sell farts in ajar on the internet for money. So
he got that. He got theliteral drop on everybody. Oh my god,
it's my god. And so wemoved forward to Werewolf Hitler and the

(18:51):
Werewolf leaders of every country in theworld just calling each other, and the
running gag of everybody shooting their phoneoperators for no reason. I have this
this They outfit this scene with theseleaders. What were my favorite when they
call on the third way three waycall and he goes, I'm sorry,

(19:12):
I maybe this is racist. Idon't know, but it was like he
goes, he WHOA like that.I had to pause because I was laughing
so fucking hard. And then theystarted making fun of sake and they're like
this is for women and gay men, Like I was fucking also, I'm
sorry, but Mussolini eat with theplay of spaghetti in front of him.
I mean it was that was perfected. I loved every second of it.

(19:36):
The guy that played the Japanese ambassadorthough, was actually Japanese too, so
like that was the smart way tofucking do it because the dude sounded like
if you've ever seen Team America,he sounds like Kim jong Ill, Like
it sounds like Trey Parker doing aKim jong Ill impression the whole time.
In fact, at first I thoughtit was Trey Parker. When I first
saw this, I was like,there's no way this is not so it

(19:57):
sounded so good and even like theycome up with this plan of how they're
gonna poison it or make everybody werewolves. Yeah, and then they later
on go there was all this winethat they drank or whatever. It's like
nobody touched the sake, which yeah, so funny. It was so funny
the way they would bring these jokesback around and oh, brilliant writing.

(20:18):
It's insane, how stupid brilliant.It was the fucking note that FDR leaves
and one of the shipments to Japanwhere he's like, don't bring this pussy
shit over to our country. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
yeah, this ultra toxic masculinity.That was, Oh my god, this
guy. It was so over thetime. But also I think that's really

(20:41):
how they were then, you know, like the women were always like there's
a couple of times when the womenwould speak up and they're like, oh,
be seen, not heard, andI was like, that's fucking real,
that's real. Yeah, And Ilike like the tie in with like
prohibition and like the whole connection.Yeah, like the whole uh you know,
were wolves and oh my god,yeahs the best Yeah, the moonshine

(21:03):
and Yeah. The plot was veryvery well crafted, honestly, Like,
for as stupid as this movie is, the plot itself is like, Okay,
if this weren't like FDR or likepresidentially based, you could put this
in any like comedy and it wouldwork still. But the fact that all
these people are involved it's even funnier. We get the fucking Delido freestyle as

(21:23):
he as he would call it,which is funny as hell. He's just
like, how can we how canI speak to the people, And they're
like, oh, give a pressconference? And he's like no, I
want like, can We've got aradio here? Can you rig that up?
And George's like, yeah, I'mblack, I got this and he's
like yeah, hook it up sogreat and he scratches that record. Yeah,

(21:45):
my god, by accident completely.He's like no, no, no,
no, I keep doing that.I like, so keep that beat,
keep that beat going. And everytime he speaks to his people,
like FDR says, I'm freestyle.I was just freestyl And that's like a
whole ass joke that runs through theyeah pre style and those fire side Oh
my god, so funny, andthey they do, uh, this is

(22:08):
where they find out where all thebeer is getting like bootlegged into like colleges
and like all these places, andpeople are quote wolfing out because they're being
poisoned. And and he's like,I can't remember. This guy has been
in like several like mobster movies.I think I think his name is like
Rabe something. I know he's beenlike Sopranos and ship like that. I'm

(22:29):
pretty sure he has. And he'splaying one of the army generals and he's
talking with FDR and he's like,yeah, so here's like the uh this
logger has you know, been poisonedand they're doing this all the alcohol and
he's like, what did you do? Everybody that wolf He's like, we
killed him? Is that illegal orthe United States government? Anything is legal?
Fuck? Yeah? Which is true? Which is true. Yeah,

(22:55):
I'm so excited about it. They'renot even gonna hide it. They're just
so excited that they can kill people. Nobody's going to get it, going
to carry. Yeah, it's thegreatest. But that's also I think it's
the I think the characters. Ithink it's McCarthy is the general that that's
in that room with them. Butthis is when we get the chair reveal
at this point, right, Yes, new chair, which is the motor
the motorcycle of debt beyond like,yeah, it's beyond beautiful this chair.

(23:18):
Yeah, the two thousand, Yes, the machine gun chair. No,
it's not the motorcycle death that's later. It's the machine gun chair. Yeah.
It's so ridiculous too, because youlook on the back of it how
it says like the deleto two thousand, and it's not even like they budgeted
this out for this chair. Theyjust were like, hey, can you
guys go to like a Low's andgrab the mailbox stickers and we're just going

(23:40):
to play on because that's what itwas. It's like the stickers you stick
on your mailbox and just like putit on there. It's so stupid.
I know it was very low budget, but that's okay. We played up
for it with his performances. Yes, I mean they were fucking beautiful.
But it had two rocket launchers andthen also it had it was I don't
I didn't write to have the number, but it had all these us It
was of course provided with silver bulletsbecause they shoot these motherfuckers and he's like

(24:03):
blowing in the air. Oh mygod, forget, it's so good.
It's so good. When he finallygoes to shoot these guys and he's like
that it's so dumb. Yeah,he shows up to this this vineyard,
shipyard or whatever, like they havethe three Italian were wolves like just loading
this fucker up, and yeah,they get blown two of them get blown
to ship and then I mean eventuallythe whole place gets blown up, and

(24:26):
as you know, a really shittylike he's rolling away from the explosion.
It's very Michael Bay. Yeah.Yeah, it's so fucking good. And
even like when they're talking before herolls up, you see these three guys
talking, and it was it couldhave been a scene in Goodfellas, you
know what I mean, like oneof these warehouse scenes with the mobs.
Like that's how it was set up, like their mobsters in front of these
crates of Vino Vino was written onall the crates, which was so fucking

(24:48):
funny too, and he starts blowingthat when he shoots the rockets at them.
Oh my god, it's so good, so good. I love whenever
they're talking to like the man Italianwere a wolf and they're like, well,
what happened He's like, I don'tknow. He wrote up in some
kind of real fucking chair, likethe way just so great. I'm a

(25:08):
sucker for any like overdone Italian factbecause it's it's funny when they're pissed.
It's the funniest shit ever. Yeah, Okay, So the scene where he
gets this chair is where he sayshe says a line from from I think
it was at Warren she song theRegulator because then the guy Lewis goes regulators
and Luis goes mount up and Iwas like, chit so good. So

(25:34):
it's also another gag throughout the moviethat Eleanor is wanting to She's wanting to
leave him at various points but doesn't, and so Fdr is having like if
you want to call them affairs withlike other people, and so his new
secretary. It's the scene where shefucking you find out she's got a leg

(25:56):
fetish because of like the legs resemblingsheep bogs. And that's when the wife
walks in. I think it's moreof hot dogs she walk into the office.
Yeah, it's more a hot dogfetish, that's what I'm saying,
Like it's it's yeah, yeah,it's based in her hot like her love
of hot dogs and shit, andshe's like spraying ketchup and mustard all over
his legs and fuck. But thatscene, if you think about how bizarre
it is that these two actors,even like what was the direction they were

(26:21):
given, even like just do thisand pretend like you're having an orgasm,
because that's really what it was likebuilding up to, is that she was
going to have an orgasm. Andso it was this most the most ridiculous
shit I've ever seen in my life, and it will over the top beautiful.
It was beautiful. I was sohappy. I mean, I could
have watched that all day, becausethere comes a point when you're watching something

(26:44):
and you're like, Okay, it'sgonna end in like the next ten seconds,
right, and it just goes onand on and on to where it's
now. It goes from like thisis weird to like okay, it's kind
of funny, too uncomfortable, tolike fucking hilarious like it within like I
mean, it goes on for atleast two minutes, and these legs are
like I don't know how to describeit. They look like rubber legs,
and there's wobbly yeah, and she'srubbing the creepy rubbing her body and he's

(27:07):
into it. He's getting hard fromit. Like the whole thing was you
dumb comedy like this, he needsto exist everywhere, Like I don't know,
we need to have a screening ofthis movie. I just this needs
to be like okay. Barry Boswookwas known for Rocky Horror Picture Show.
You know, he played Brad inRocky hor Picture Show. So I very
much got like the Professor vibes,right, the vibes of Rocky Horror.
There's a character who narrates it,who's this professor. It was very much

(27:30):
that to where I thought this couldbe one of those movies of like a
Rocky Horror Picture Show where people showup and like do things during certain scenes,
and this is like one of themwhere someone could go up and as
it's playing on the screen like actedout in front of you. So funny.
It's iconic. This is an iconicscene in cinema. No really,

(27:52):
it's fucking hilarious. Like this isprobably one of the funniest, you know,
quote sex scenes in a sperm Itwas. It was a little too
like it creeped me out. Imean, I guess. But also I'd
like to really preface this that Iwas not high when I watched this movie.
So if I was high watching it, I'd probably be peeing my pants
the whole time. It was sostupid funny and this and then yeah,
then she the wife, Eleanor walksin and sees this, and she says

(28:15):
the greatest way ever I wrote itdown. She said, Eleanor Roosevelt is
gonna have to strong arm a hoe. That's what she said. Is she
walked, she walked in and like, bitch slaps this girl. It was
so that part was funny. Fuckingyou knew that, you knew that wife
was going to be coming in.She smacked her so fucking hard, that
bitch. So the fuck over,man, she sew the fuck over to

(28:38):
my god, it was so good, it was so good. She busts
her ass again when she's running outthe room. And I hadn't noticed it
the first like couple of times thatI'd ever watched this movie, like not
even the last time whenever we talkedabout it, like years ago, and
I was like, she fucking feltlike, goddamn, it's so fucking funny.
Yeah, that's so great. Theeleanor rosevest I'm strong omer home.

(29:00):
That's one of the greatest lines I'veever heard in my life. But I
think I think Truman at some pointwalks in at this point and he says,
I think this is the line wherethis is a scene where he walks
in. He says, hot dogeating contest has gone right or gone wrong?
He says, he describes this sceneshot and this leads I think this

(29:25):
is where it leads directly into himasking George's like, well, what do
I do because they're about to goto war and ship Yeah, and then
we yeah, then we go intothe start of World War two. Yeah,
and the were wolves are all upset, Yeah, like mad and more
murdering of the of the phone operatorsand ship and the titties come out.
Now we get to see boobs throughoutthe rest of the movie tasteful boobs at

(29:48):
that. It's kind of funny.Actually it's a little over the top and
you don't expect it, but it'sjust like, Okay, I see what
the hum is. We got bellybutton shots. FDR's doing belly button shots
off a girl on the mark.It's just hilarious. She comes up out
of control, He's out of control. The fucking thumbs up. Shit so
dumb. This is where he askedGeorge for help though. He's like,

(30:11):
I don't know what I'm doing,and he's just like a third drawer bottom
right. Yes, and then thewhole Lincoln. Yeah, now we're high.
What is it? He smokes oneof George Washington's blunt Yes, he
winds up seeing Abraham Lincoln. Yeah, he's the whole hallucination. Yeah,
because he comes out of one ofthe pictures. He just shows up next

(30:32):
to his desk and he's like yeah, and they're laying down are they laying
down on the ground like just likehe's like, how did you handle this?
And giving this hap to you?Yeah, they're on the roof like
smoking together. Yeah. I wascracking the fuck up And he's like,
yeah, I was there he waslike, yeah, Washington was there for
me when I need them. NowI'm going to be here for you when
you need it. And he's talkingabout how like Obama's gonna need the same
fucking help then all this other shipand he's like, uh, sitting there,

(30:56):
he's like yeah. He's like,well, uh, it's a damn
shame you have your brain's blown on. He's like, yeah, Mary Todd
had to go to that play fuckingalways. Yeah. Yeah. I should
point out that Lincoln is played bya notorious piece of shit Kevin Sorbo in

(31:18):
this, which I was disappointed becauseI'm like, why is it good?
And this dude's a dick, Like, I don't give a fuck. I'm
never gonna have Kevin Sorbo on thisshow. I'm never gonna have to seek
out an interview with Kevin Sorbo.So I'm gonna sit here and be like,
fuck Kevin Sorbo for real, Likethe dude's a dick. But the
fact that he was in this andwas good, I was like, ah,

(31:40):
fuck, why why was it good? But it's that, I mean,
he's not on a Woody Allen likelevel of people we love, but
definitely like one of those times wherewe talk about this all the time,
separating the art from the artists,and like that he's so good in this
movie, but he's completely out ofhis fucking mind, you know. I
mean, yeah, it sucked.I noticed it was him too, and

(32:02):
I was like, oh man,and now had he lost his mind by
twenty twelve or was it later on? Like I feel like he got trumpy
around the truck time. Now Ifeel like it was pose this film,
which again but I did laugh though, because he's sitting there, he's like,
you want to see something really cool? I can fucking fly? Yeah,

(32:24):
oh my god. Then he dropshim and he's like, this was
the Eagles, same Justice, thatcartoon eagle, like Justice grab you grabbed
Justice's wing and then I'm just floatingthrough space. Yeah, that whole thing
was. It's just like I saidfrom I liked it, but it was
like campy overtrive for me, LikeI was like, she said, what

(32:46):
going on? It's like, alllike, it's just yeah, this was
for Coco Puff. Yeah, itwas very there's a part of it.
There's a time, a point inthe movie where you finally go all right,
how much longer is this going togo on like you thought, like,
I think that because it is socampy and so over the top,
like it shouldn't be as long asit was or something like. There came

(33:06):
a point where I was like,when is this gonna get wrapped up?
Because but then he's just like whatelse is? Like the Lincoln thing probably
maybe didn't need to be there.But then I moved into that motorcycle of
death. Yeah right, yeah,there there's a line I want to point
out though, while they're still inthe sky, which I thought was fucking
like hell Like to me, Iwas just like that was completely out of
nowhere. But goddamn, was ita good one. He's they're fly like

(33:29):
Lincoln's flying him over in his wheelchairand he's like, hey, look at
that. He's like, there's mymonument down there, and far just kind
of looks at it and he goes, oh, man, is there gonna
be a statue like that for me? Nah? But they're gonna name like
a thousand high schools after you.Yeah, that's cool, all right?
I thought that was oh my god, But yeah, this is this is

(33:49):
the motorcycle of death spot close tothe like we're nearing the end of the
movie. Finally, Hi, I'mTina ha Demio and I'm Hillary Doctor.
And we host The Muck Podcast wherewe discuss the dark and sometimes weird true
stories in American politics. E.Tina, did you know that Elvis crashed
the Nixon White House for the solepurpose of getting a dea badge? And

(34:12):
it worked? Who or how agun control advocate senator out of California engaged
in gun trafficking with Notoria's gang leader, shrimp Boy. Shrimp Boy I remember
him? Okay, So you know. We cover all of that and more
for Maladies, Madness, mischief,and Murder in the US politics, and
we also host a biweekly interview segmentcalled Lil Muck. We interview politicians,

(34:35):
journalists, activists, and others whoshare their experiences in politics. Find The
Muck Podcasts wherever you listen to podcasts, and check us out on social media
At the Muck Podcast. It wasLewis's friend, right, yeah, right,
Lou and that act right, thatactor has been in so many things.
His name is Escaping Me, buthe's been in iconic movies. But

(34:57):
it was funny during that whole thingwhere he tells Lou, you know and
you think it's going to be liketake care of my wife or my fam
And he's like, take care ofmy mistress if anything happens to me.
That's what he's worried about, Likemake sure the mistress is okay, but
nobody else. It just ties intolike this whole sort of bde kind of

(35:19):
presence that they've shaped this character,which to go back to your earlier point,
you know, in politics, likeit's this idea like they're so consumed
with themselves, and I think ithighlights like that aspect of politics and politicians
that just think that they can doand say and act however they want to
act. And there's such that mettoxic male energy coming from him, which

(35:44):
I think is a deliberate like,you know, to highlight the ridiculousness of
it. But I thought that wasfunny. He's like, take care of
my mistress. There's a key tothem, Yeah, there's a key to
the presidential suite under the doormat andchange she's first. Yeah Jesus Christ.
Yeah, they really wanted me tobad picture of this guy. He's not

(36:07):
good, not pretty. Oh,but at the end, like whenever he
goes into his own fighter jet togo and like pretty much just take out
Hitler and the rest of the people. This is fucking hilarious how he's just
behind a bunch of sandbag just shootingthis tiny ass. Yes, and then
Eleanor at home is like drinking becauseshe doesn't know what the hell's going on,

(36:29):
and she's just like, you know, yeah, she thinks he's gonna
die. Yeah, and she justkeeps drinking and drinking. I'm like,
what is happening, because like shehates him, but yeah, she's worried
he's gonna die. And but whatabout the great scene where Mussolini is shot
up and then he starts to dieand then his last word is like I
was going to start a restaurant.That's my Italian's not good. I was

(36:50):
going to make a chain of restaurantcalled Olive God. And when you're there,
you feel like family. Like theguy who wrote this movie is so
fucking funny, dude. I mean, who thinks so include the olive garden
line and there I'm he's like aweird gee, look at one of these

(37:15):
weird geniuses. Oh my god.I just thought that was so funny,
and I thought you would be offendedby that. I like when you're here
your family. No, but it'sgood because it just highlights again like the
stereotypes of Italian and like, whatis like the biggest, sort of worst
example of Italian food ever. It'sthe olive garden. Yeah, Like it's

(37:36):
like the it's the furthest thing fromit. So I think that's perfect too,
right on? God so good?Yeah, that that did me in
watching this movie the first time,I was like, is he fucking like
because you know, first I'm like, oh, bonjo Eiler, it's like
several other things, and then whenit gets here, I'm like, olive
garden. Oh all right, allright, yeah that's great. Keep it

(37:57):
up. I thought I was donewith this movie a half hour ago.
Keep going, please. Yeah,he gets in that final fireside chat where
he's like he doesn't he say like, it's an FDR motherfucker likes right,
isn't that how he closes it?Yeah, Louis something like that, Yeah,
Louis, Oh no, it's it'sFDR motherfucker. Franklin Delano Roosevelt motherfucker.
Like it's so great because he blowsup Hitler and like all these other

(38:21):
sons of bitches and they think he'sdead and like on the radar. They're
like, oh, it's been sixteendays since, you know, we last
heard from Franklin Roosevelt. And hejust rolls in all he rolls in.
He's like, yeah, you know, like war to you know, hard
wil thr sand Ship. Dude.Oh I loved it when he said that
he's a burnt honkey with the sideof polio. Yep. I was like,

(38:44):
what what I forgot that Cleveland stowedaway on his fucking plane and dove
out with him. Oh yoh yeah, And he didn't have a parachute at
all. And he just sits andhe's like, oh, oh, I
don't have a parachuting And after you'rejust real like, okay, what for
about it? And just this guy'sover here sucking dick for you to get

(39:07):
votes. Don't you care that hedoes have a parachute? What the hell?
Man? Nope, he don't care. No, it doesn't care.
Doesn't care. Oh my god,so good. The way he's the way
he's speedily like just falls down offthe screen. It's so fucking loony tunes.
It's not even funny. But yeah, yeah, the movie ends,

(39:28):
I guess on a quote happy note. Where he's addressed in the nation,
and then Eleanor is sitting there tellinghim that she's gonna ride him like a
free pony at the state fair.I know, I was like, wait
a minute, because it's you know, you never really know how she at
least Yeah, she didn't seem toreally you know, be so into him,
you know, and she wasn't affectionateall. Yeah, and so I
thought that was interesting at the end. Maybe it was all the booths.

(39:51):
Yeah, well, after the hotdogs like orgasm scene, he goes into
her and he's like, what doyou expect from me? You won't have
you won't you sleep in a separatebedroom or whatever, and and he goes,
you're always tending to the children,and five, all children are grown
We five grown children. Yeah,she's scared of those wiggly legs, like
she's scared of those I know,this whole thing was so crazy when they

(40:14):
first shared those legs. But there'ssomething about there's something about a movie that
can still I mean, I knowthis is like eleven years ago now,
but still there's something about like thereshould always be a part. Well,
Richie, you would agree with us. I'm sure this is what you the
movies you watch, but like thereshould always be a place in Hollywood for
like someone to write a script likethis and somehow scrounge enough money together to

(40:37):
make this silliest shit you've ever seen. Like it's brilliant. I think it's
brilliantly written. It's so fucking likethere's details that are so good, and
the film itself doesn't look like verypolished, And when you're looking at the
background or like the sets of wherethey are, it's like, all right,
they cobbled this thing together, butit still works like they can sell

(40:59):
it. The actors are giving theseperformances and I thought were fantastic, like
we need this sort of do ityourself, yes, And it felt very
funny, it felt very ti y. Yeah, But then I was like,
is this deliberate? Like are theydeliberate making it maybe you know,
look unpolished, you know what Imean? Yeah? Maybe, yeah,

(41:19):
because that was kind of the funnyparts about it, Like, especially like
the war scenes and him flying inand the parachuting, like to have it
look so you know, homemade,yeah, kind of makes it a little
funnier. And the were wolf inthe woods definitely looked like the one from
Oh my God that the other.The makeup on the other werewolves was fantastic.
The where the Mussolini? Yea,and what's his name? Hitler?

(41:44):
Oh? What's his name? Hitler? That makeup all looks good. I
forgot about a scene whenever he's tryingto whenever Lewis is first finding out about
the werewolf existence and the corner takeshim in there. I totally forgot about
the scene where he's like, Ineed to show you something and he walks
in there and he's like, thisis what I wanted to show you,
and it's a fucking corpse with asquirrel jammed up in task. He's like,

(42:05):
what the fuck broke? Oh that'snot the one. Hang on,
this is the one I wanted toshow. There's another funny scene when they're
leaving the hospital and uh he says, uh, you know, eleanor are
you gonna have to sit on theon on FDR's lap He goes, She
goes, I don't want to saythat, you're gonna have to There's there's
a were wolf in the trunk.I was like, oh shit, a

(42:28):
were wolf in the trunk. Ohmy god, so good. Right,
And to y'all's point, Like,honestly, I enjoyed championing movies that are
like this, where you have youknow, I don't know. This movie
probably cost about one hundred grand tomake. Really, in like in seriousness,

(42:50):
it probably costs about one hundred grandto make, and nothing but love
for filmmaking, period because to purposelyput something like this out where you know
it's supposed to be bad, youknow quote bad, you know it's supposed
to be bad, but it's fuckinghilarious, and you got a team of
actors that are going to deliver thisscript better than you thought it was going

(43:12):
to be delivered. And that's whatmakes these movies is the performances because I
can look past I've seen enough shitin my life where you can look past
special effects, you can look pastshitty cg you can god, you can
look past certain shitty actors. LikeThe Room is a prime example of the
opposite of this, where The Roomhad like a multi million dollar budget,

(43:34):
had the most high end fucking cameras, was made ten years before this one
and is probably the best bad moviethat exists because of the acting quote in
it, But the rest of themovie, it looks good, but it's
yeah, what is it? Thismovie looks like shit, but it's fucking
hilarious because of course they purposely havedone, you know, the cheesy effects.

(43:58):
I think that was a hallmark ofat the time for those of you
out there that have you know,visited like the old website new Grounds,
where flash animation was the thing thatwas purposely done as like really shitty clip
art comedy, you know, oninternet culture. So that kind of carried
over into some of the comedy fromthat era. So that was very much
a purposely done thing where it's like, hey, we know what this is.

(44:22):
You're gonna know what this is,so like, enjoy it. Why
fucking hide it. If you don'thide it and you're in on the joke,
it's gonna land better. So true. I'm so glad j'all enjoyed this
movie as much as she did,honestly because I was like, oh,
fuck, I really did not knowwhat to expect. I didn't I except
when it opened and you saw himthe very first thing, you see him
as in that chair and he's screamingand he's shooting the guns and he's Oh.

(44:45):
I also loved the cigarette and thelong cigarette holder like it was constantly.
It was like another character in theshow. It was constantly just like
almost hitting people and oh my god, so good. I mean, it's
definitely one of those like so bad, it's good. Yeah, that's why
I was. I gave y'all nothing. I was like, all right,
no, I did not know whatto expect. I didn't want to give

(45:05):
anything to expect. And it wasso it was very different from The Vampire
I was just gonna say. So, I was just gonna say that,
yeah, you know, because theVampire Hunter, I think took itself a
little more seriously, you know,definitely, and this didn't at all.
And so it's just interesting to see, you know, that perspective. And
I love the idea of taking momentsof history and just making it ridiculous.

(45:29):
It's like when when I forget whothe author was, but there was an
author that was doing like Jane Airand zombies and like, you know,
there was a whole era of that. Yeah, And so it kind of
gave that vibe too, of justlike, let's just take this thing that
everybody knows and we know about thepolio, we know about you know,
his work during the war and allof that and let's just completely make it

(45:50):
as ridiculous as possible. Yeah,so funny, Yeah, yeah, I
wish I wish more shit like thiswas around, just in general, it's
it's one of my favorite styles ofcomedy. I like all kinds of movies.
I keep bringing basketball, but that'sreally like absurd, dumb visual humor
and puns and wordplay, like allthat shit really hits when you know what

(46:15):
you're doing, and I think thismovie is a prime example. So,
and it's free on YouTube. Ifanybody out there wants to watch this,
it is one hundred percent free towatch on YouTube. So to cap this
off, would you show this toanybody that you know that you think would
appreciate this movie? Honestly, I'vealready texted someone and said we're watching this
together, and said to him,we're watching it together. This is.
I was halfway through it. I'mlike, no, no, no,

(46:37):
we're doing this is. I'm addingit to our movie list, like that's
it because it's so funny good.I think my husband, you know,
he's hit or miss with some stufflike this, So I would be curious
to see, like what he thoughtof it. Yeah, for sure,
it's it's absolutely a fun movie.It's a good honestly, it's a good
icebreaker, Like this is a goodicebreaker movie if you're trying to like gauge

(46:58):
somebody's sense of humor. I lovemovies like that. I think UHF is
another one of those movies. There'suh oh ray chef. Yeah. I
really like to see who is intowhat kind of comedy. And you know,
a lot of this shit's in mywheelhouse regardless. I watch everything I
really fucking do, but yeah,this. When I first saw this,
I showed it to anybody that wasin earshot. I was like, hey,

(47:22):
fucking watch this. I was like, if you can't watch it with
me, here here's a fucking YouTube, like go go watch it. And
then they would text me back,dude, this is hilarious, Like I
know it is. So do youso you're super into movies? Do you
get on like the Oscar train?Like are you would you go to the
movie theater and want to watch moviesthat are nominated or like that are renowned

(47:42):
like current Things? Or do youonly like this like B style movie?
Like are you into like would yousee an Oppenheimer? Would you go see
a Barbie? Are you like intothat. I have seen Barbie. I
saw Barbie at a drive in theater, and I saw Oppenheimer recently. I
fucking loved it. I think that'sno One's best work honestly. And yeah,
I've seen a ton of films thatwere nominated, like I saw No

(48:05):
Country for Old Men in theaters.I saw There Will Be Blood in Theaters,
which is one of my favorite fuckingmovies. So good, bruh.
Yeah. Yeah, I watch everything. I really I really do. Like
when I say I watch everything,I really mean it. I watch everything
that has won Oscars, two moviesthat were never considered for Oscars, to
bullshit like this and everything in between. I fucking love cinema, like that
is my thing. I love cinema. Okay, cool, I you know

(48:28):
what I watched again recently last weekendwas Joker, the new one with with
uh that Phoenix. The tense,how tense you are, and how tense
that movie is the entire time.It reminds me of No of There Will
Be Blood, where you're just like, fucking, what's this guy gonna do?
Every second you're like what's happening?And that's how I feel like I've

(48:52):
There Will Be Blood I've probably watchedtwice. I don't know if I could
watch it again. It is soit's tactically insane. Daniel, it's his
name, Daniel day Lewis. Danielday Lewis is fucking insane in that movie.
It's so good. Anybody I loveDaniel Day Yeah, I was gonna
say anybody out there, but wouldlove gangs New York. Oh, I

(49:13):
love gangs in New York, myDaniel d Lewis. Though, of course
I want to Richie. Do youthink you could guess like one of my
favorite performances from Daniel day Lewis.Oh, man, Okay, So I'm
not gonna say. I don't wantto say Lincoln because I thought that was
fucking fantastic. Actually, now,just think of me as the literary nerd
that I am with the principal,oh, the cryciple. Oh my god.

(49:37):
So you guys don't remember that writer? Yes, yeah, you guys
don't remember him in that He playsJohn Proctor. I maybe saw that when
it was out. It's been Tina, that's been like twenty years. It's
I all love them. He's like, leave me my name, Oh my
god, because I cannot have anotherin my life because I lie and sign
my name to lie God. Ohmy god. That was the equivalent of

(50:02):
you singing on the oh my god, I love him in the Crucible.
It's wild, how much shit didthat? Seats are so gross in it
though, Yeah, because you knowwhen he's kept in that and then they
show him at the end and it'slike, it's just like I've seen that
movie. I know all the linesto that movie. It's so good and
I love the play, and Ijust thought he was just so good in

(50:22):
that movie. Yeah, Oh,absolutely great actor. Yeah, yeah,
for sure. And uh he's retirednow, which is unbelievable. Honestly,
the dude probably could have done anotherlet me see how old he is,
could have done another ten years ofmovies and yeah, cranked out great ones.
Yeah. I thought the Joker likemovie to go back to that was

(50:45):
it was great. There was alot of Scorsese influence in that one,
Like I know, it's it's prettylike well known that Taxi Driver and The
King's Gonna Say The King of Comedywas another one that was really influential to
it. The second one I'm lookingforward to. It's going to be a
full blown musical and it's Joaquin Phoenixand then Lady Gaga playing Harley Quinn.

(51:05):
So what yeah, talking for it? Yeah, yeah, same, So
I will watch anything like again,like movies, I will watch anything that's
also superhero related or anything adjacent tothat. I think a lot of that
stuff is a little over the top, but a lot of it does also
get grossly overlooked. So I wasexcited that Joker had won the Best Actor

(51:28):
for Joaquin. I thought that wasfantastic that he won that because he fucking
deserved it. To be honest,a lot of those movies kind of get
overlooked. Like I thought Robert Pattinson'sThe Batman was the best Batman film that
I've ever watched. I haven't seenthat. I agree. My son asked
me that last week, what wasthe best? What was your favorite Batman?
I said, the Goth Batman,the new one. He's a goth

(51:51):
Batman. I'm here for it.That car scene, car chase scene,
bruh, fucking beautiful. I'll haveto watch that movie. Yeah, love,
Yeah, Tina, you do needto watch it, because, like,
uh, if anything, and I'mnot even talking about just for Pattinson's
Batman, if anything, aside fromPaultino's portrayal of the Riddler, fucking Colin

(52:14):
Farrell as the Penguin, because hedisappears, he disappears. I'm gonna have
to do that this weekend. Yeah, Colin Farrell, by the way,
is it has to be like Ifeel like he disappeared for a while making
some movies, Like you know,he was Hollywood's bad boy, so people
kind of like wrote them off.But then he quietly started to move his

(52:34):
way back through the The Banshees ofInsurance was so good. It was slow
moving, but it was wild andsick and it was so good. And
he is so good in that movieas the Penguin. So is Joker too,
I mean the Batman too. Ishe going to be coming back as
it's going to be about him asthe Penguin? Okay, well it's not
gonna be this. It won't beabout him. He'll be in there.

(52:54):
There's also a yeah, there's alsoa Max television series like for the Penguin
that's done or be done. OhI think I heard about this. Yeah,
same universe and everything. They haven'tcome out and said who the actual
villain in The Batman two is goingto be, although Barry Keegan's portrayal of
the Joker will be in it atsome point, and uh brow yeah,

(53:15):
and that one's more or less lookinglike it's based on the New fifty two
run where the Joker actually has cuthis own face off and has it belted
back onto his face, his wholehead. So it's it's fucking insane.
Actually, wow, I'm here.I'm here for all of you. I
know that's yeah. I fucking theBatman. You know, Spider Man is
definitely my favorite superhero, but theseBatman movies, they can go go so

(53:37):
dark, which is where I reallybelieve comic book should be. Like I
feel like, you know, theyall have these tragic stories. I really
feel like it should be the darkunderbelly because I love, like, I
got into the whole Marvel thing,but it got to the point where it
was a little too jokey, youknow, a little too much, like
too much of the jokes. I'mjust like, where's the stuff that's supposed
to be happening here. I feellike I'm in the middle of a like

(53:58):
a like a terrible parody of aof a comic book movie. I want
the darkness of Batman all the time. You ever seen Watchman, No,
I haven't seen that yet. Okay, okay, if you do watch it,
Yeah, if you do watch it, watch the director's cut. Yeah,
it's it's lengthy. The graphic novelis really good. It is probably

(54:19):
the most realistic look at what thiswould actually be like. And there's also
a lot of social commentary on Americaas a whole because this is post cold
it's an alternate universe where Nixon isa third reelect as president and it's post
uh cold War. So wow,yeah, it's very good. So yeah,

(54:43):
definitely check it out. There's there'sa lot of really good characters in
it. In fact, oh shit, I can't think of his fucking name
right now. Uh Patrick Patrick Wilsonplays one of the people night Owl two
in the movie, and uh JackieEarl Haley play roar Shack, Which those
are two of the main heroes thatare like a part of a team in

(55:05):
there, and there's a lot ofgood character work. Papa Winchester is and
that motherfucker too, Papa Winchester.Yeah, I love that name. That's
what That's what I always call themanyway, So but yeah, those are
those are just movies that, like, you guys should check out, and
if anybody out there has not fuckingseen please watch everything we've mentioned. This

(55:28):
is This has been a fun discussion. I would love to have y'all back
on again. Help. I wouldlike to talk to I would do a
Watchman episode with you guys, ify'all actually that would be cool because that
would be cool because I and II've had the graphic novel on my list
as something to read, and Ihave a friend of mine who actually was
teaching it for a while and justhad really great experiences with with younger people,

(55:52):
you know, talking through like theissues that come up, like you
were talking about, like the socialissues. So I've he's been curious and
I just haven't gotten around to it. So that would be cool. Yeah,
it's it's an Alan Moore novel,and it's the same guy that's done
V for Vendetta and a lot ofother stuff. Alan Moore is notoriously uh

(56:14):
had He notoriously has a fuck youattitude towards anybody that has adapted his ship
because like, oh, you're notdoing it right, and he's just a
very he's very much a purist.But it turns out like a lot of
his adaptations are pretty good. SoZack Snyder is responsible for the Watchman film,
who did an excellent job because heloves the source material. Like people
shit on him for no reason,but I think he does really good work.
