like twenty two people in this big old house.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Sick.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
It was a lot of folks. We did Halloween there.
We did a trunk or treat. Love a trunk or treat.
I think it's very well utilized a trunk or treat.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I like that. It was slick. Yeah, it was nice.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
And during the week Kelsey and I went we did
like a three hour drive and saw Paul McCartney.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Oh how fun little date night, Little Paul McCartney. Great.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
I got to be in New Orleans for a night.
So we went to this awesome restaurant restaurant, Jacamo's, which
I have not been to since like my first time there, well,
not my first time there, but when I was first
there with Home Free, like twelve years ago.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Sure, and it was so good. That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
And Paul McCartney was incredible. It was so much fun. Dude,
nice man was so neat. He played for like three
hours or something when he was here. Did he do
I assume it's the same show.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
It's the same show.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
And we had gotten like somebody put the set list
on Spotify and so we got like got prepped for
it on that three hour drive.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Which was like perfect. That's so fun, dude, that's so.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
I definitely got choked up a few times. It was
just it's just nuts. They did a lot of cool
stuff with the video wall with Ye singing, singing with
John singing with George.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh that's cool. I didn't hear that. There was a
lot of pyro like people were like, I didn't expect
that was insane. That was insane.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
I mean it was really only in one song.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
It was in really Let Die. He went crazy with
the Pirate.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
It was like, nuts, that's really fun. And yeah, he
did this thing with Blackbird that.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Just made me cry. Oh god. I feel like there's
a few of his songs so that it would just
be instant, like yeah, I just love it.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, it was great, and he did he did Hey
Jude too, which everybody was just like hell yeah singing
and it just it was incredible. On the way there,
I made Kelsey watch the Chris Farley Show where he
interviews Paul McCartney.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
So funny.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
She's never seen that before, she'd never seen it, and
it was just so great. Well, his last question, which
is like it's the only time he asks, like a
pretty good question on that whole bit, and he's like.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
At the end of every road you say, you know,
is the love you make is equal to the love
you take? Or whatever the line is. He's like, is
that true? Is that true? Is that true? And like
the whole crowd just like eruughed, it was like, oh,
it was like a real question. Yeah, yeah, that's so fun.
It was fun.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
But then it's great ended up ending with that too,
so it was just like it was just awesome.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
So lovely. I'm jealous, nice I love that. Good for you, guys.
How was your week and a half. I haven't talked
to you. It's been good. Been busy. Uh yeah, I
don't know. I didn't. I haven't taken any trips. I've
just been chilling going on. Yeah. I'm getting into sketching,
which is weird. I'm not good at it, but it's

(05:39):
kind of fun. That is something I'm horrible at and
will never be good. I heard it was a good
way to engage your brain, so I was like, I
could do that. I'm sitting in front of a TV
watching things I've seen a hundred times a lot, so
let's do it. Yeah, so that's the thing. Maybe I'll
put up some of them. If there ever any good
do it. Don't hold your breath. Like I said, I'm

(06:01):
not good at it, but it is kind of fun.
What did I draw today? A hallway? I drew a halloway.
I was holding my breath. I told you not to
do that. You did that. I specifically asked you not
to anyhow. That's all I've been doing, honestly, and watching

(06:23):
any movies. Movies, So I did go to the theater
last week on Thursday. We saw Bogonia on opening night.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
So I saw the thing saying it's maybe the best
movie of all time.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I was just like, wool, I don't think that. I
didn't feel that way. This is, of course Your Ghosts,
What's Lanthemos. This is the new Yor Ghosts movie featuring
Jesse Plemmons and Emma Stone, who are both just so talented.

(06:58):
And this movie was crazy and wild and super fun
and engaging. I definitely recommend people see it. It's one
that you don't want to talk about too much. But
the like, the sort of like elevator pitch that you
get from the trailer is we have two young men
who are conspiracy obsessed. Jesse Plemons is like the leader

(07:21):
of these two, the other one is like his cousin,
and they kidnap a high powered CEO which is Emma Stone,
and they because they believe she is an alien trying
to destroy Earth. So it's like very conspiratorial and stuff
like that. But wow, as with all YOURGOS movies, it's

(07:42):
it's wild, it's crazy, it's like surprisingly funny in parts,
you know what I mean. I feel like YOURGOS is
very good at that part too, Like Poor Things was, yeah,
exactly like there's there's several laugh out loud moments and
uh yeah, it's it's wild. I did really like it.
It's a nice it's definitely an a movie. I don't
know if it's the best movie ever.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
I know, well that's that's in the in the ads
like whoa, guys, let's let's dial it back.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
If someone said that about my movie, I would put
it in every ad that ever existed, too. So I
get it. But it is really great. I assume there
will be multiple Oscar Noms from this movie. Plemmons is
I mean, Emma Stone is always great, so is Plemons.
But he really gets He's the lead in the movie,
which is really fun, and he's wonderful in it. So yeah,

(08:35):
it was really great. Man, I really liked it a lot.
You're gonna for sure because it's it's all man fun nice.
So yeah, how about you what you've been watching him?

Speaker 3 (08:45):
I went to Netflix and I saw a brand new
movie that had pretty good reviews called a House of Dynamite.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
I've heard a lot about this movie. I haven't seen
it yet. Okay, tell me everything, tell me things.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
I'll tell you somethings. It's a great cast with Rebecca Ferguson,
Jared Harris, Tracy Letts, and Idris Elba love that.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Anthony Ramos was in it too. Yeah, but it basically
shows the scenario of what would happen if the US
was attacked by a nuclear weapon.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Cool fun light, my real light.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
They do a cool thing and where they like tell
like the same situation from like different points of view.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
I like that, okay, which is always kind of fun.
I do like that a lot. Yeah, and you as
the viewer if the story gets fleshed out as you
learn more things, which is kind of fun exactly. I
do like that.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
But yeah, man, it's it's suspenseful. There's some great acting.
It is a little unnerving, sure, and it makes me
not very confident in how we would.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Respond in a situation like that.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Sure, but it does make you think it's a solid
straight to streaming movie.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
It's like, okay, cool, it's a good streamer? Is it?
Heavyhead Believe? That was what I was. I was like,
is this gonna be? Maybe it's just over the top,
I guess I could now, Yeah, I would say that
more than heavy Hair. Yeah that's fair, that's fair, But yeah,
it's it's worth checking out for sure. Cool. Yeah, I
definitely will do it, especially with all those great people

(10:22):
in it. It's pretty fun for sure, and you can
watch it on Netflix, which loving comfortableness of your own home.
I do have a comfortable little hobbit hole here. It's nice. Yeah, buddy, nice, Yeah,
I love your hobbit hole.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Now do you want you want to tell me about
your streaming?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, I streamed a movie. It's a little bit older
of a movie. I don't remember if you've ever seen it.
It's from ninety two. It's something called Sneakers Watch that
I did. I watched it. It's very day and can
you tell me what you think about it? I'm so light.

(11:01):
This movie was so fun it is I'm so jealous.
You've got to watch that for the first time, seriously,
and I do think this is when I will watch
again for sure, because it's so fun. It's it's heisty,
it's kind of Ocean's eleven. Yes.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
Fun.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
This features Redford. For folks who haven't heard us talk
about it a bunch, I feel like it's come up
a lot lately after his death and everything. But everybody
in it's so good and so charismatic and Yeah, it's
really fun. It's really like, you know, it's got all
the like espionage e like tinges to it, and you

(11:39):
know some like light communism or talk of communism, which
feeling is in every one of his movies, you know.
But yeah, man, it was really good. I liked it
a ton. It was great. I just had a blast
the entire time I watched it. That's so fun. And
so many fun people in it too.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
You know.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Strathern was so great that I know we've talked about him.
That is when I fell in love with that guy.
That makes total sense. Uh, Tobloski's in it, which is fun.
The the wife, the first lady from Independence Day is
in it. I don't know our.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Name, Mary mcmary McDonald, McDonald, thank you, and so many
other people Danny ak right.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
I mean it's just like Sidney and he's great too. Yeah.
At one point, and then you get that a really
big name at the end, but that's kind of a spoiler.
Oh yeah, yeah, well, speaking of I barely recognized that
name at the end, and I was like, oh, okay, wow,
I was like, who is that. I feel like I

(12:41):
was like, oh, it's just a super recognizable person. But yeah.
Sidney Pointier was so good in it too. Sod River
Phoenix was so fun. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. To realize that
was him, I was like, I think I should know this,
and I was like, oh got it?

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yep, yeah, and we we would always quote the I
want to win a Bago Burgundy interior he wants to Winnipego.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah. So good. But yeah, like I said, I assume
I'll watch it again because that was super super fun
and ages right, like, it's still super exciting. It looks
weird in it, you know, because it's all like that
heisty stuff, so nothing has to look strange or crazy.
It's really fun. The weirdest part is they talk about

(13:29):
computer dating, just like such a funny thing to think
about now because it's so common, you know, right, Like
it's such a not ninety two, not even a little bit.
So it's yeah, it was really really great.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
But I just saw that the the Rewatchable guys must
have done an episode on it, and they had. They
had a couple of really funny takes, especially Ben Kingsley
when he's got to like when he like is figuring
everything out and like runs into that room just the

(14:02):
way he does it. So like Robotic Street Armed, which
I'd never really noticed, and.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
It doesn't run well. He's like that kid from wait,
what movie was it where the kid ran like such
a dip that Yes, yes, yes, yes, I know that's
only my take, but yeah, you love that'll be what
I think. But yeah, I'm gonna have to listen to
that because that'd be fun to listen to it. I

(14:28):
just saw clips of it.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Another guy said that he loved He thinks that what
Robert Redford had to do in like the heighst climax
part is like the most impressive thing that anybody's ever done,
and when you think about it, you're like, oh, I
guess yeah, But at the time he's just like, it's
not that hard.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, no, it's incredible anyway, that's really funny. I like
that a lot. But yeah, it was awesome and I
loved it. So I love that you loved it. I'm
happy about that. It makes very happy. And let's do
an episode on it whenever you want, even streaming. I
don't think i've asked you yet. You haven't asked me yet.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
You had just talked about it, but I'm sure you
finished it as well.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Task on HBOS done.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Now, Yes, loved this show so much. You may have
said this, but remind me a lot of Mayor of Easttown.
And maybe it's just because it's set in PA with
like the heavy Philly accent. It's less of a mystery
than Mayor of East Town and more just like a
gritty action drama. But Mark Ruffalo is awesome. I really

(15:32):
enjoyed Amelia Jones from Coda.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Tom Pelfrey, who was an Ozark, was also really great.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Can be more stuff plays because he's wonderful.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
He's a tremendous actor.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
He's really good. Maybe he's been in stuff I just
haven't been watching. I guess I don't know, but.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yeah, but I would love to see more of him
as well. But I loved that I was able to
root for someone in a dark drama. It feels like
so many of these shows all the main characters are
too flawed to root four. So that was very, very nice.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Highly recommend hell yeah, hell yeah. And that last episode
so good. Mama, mama, mama, mama, mamma. I love it.
That's great, Go see it on HBO. I feel the same,

Yeah, I kinda only went for like sixteen, so you're
probably gonna have some really.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Fun and they have twenty too, so I stopped. Okay,
so yes, but there's some bangers, some absolute bangers on here. Yeah,
it's going to be fun, so check it out. Checking
it out. We are here today to talk about a
film that is forty years old from nineteen hundred and
eighty five. SAMs. Wow. Wow, this is a little film

(17:50):
called The Clue. Clue, Get One, Get One, Get a
clue yet, idiots. No, you guys are nice, and they
smell probably pretty good, pretty good. A man who definitely
smells pretty good is this young man here who I
think is like probably top five percent aficionado of this film, right,

(18:11):
I mean they have seen it a lot from their kids.
It has come up before. But welcoming back. Let's welcome back, Adam,
what's up? Rob?

Speaker 4 (18:22):
You know what you should do is you should do
a reveal instead of just you know, starting with the guests.
It would make it much more enjoyable.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
You just want us to be like SmartLess. Yes, that's true.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Okay, well I would also like us.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
That would be great. The problem is is their SmartLess
is for them is a cheeky title for us. It's
just apt.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
It's quite apt.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
You know, what do you do? I propose?

Speaker 4 (18:49):
All right, well that's my suggestion for your pod there.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Well thanks, we were looking for a production portion of
the event. How are you today, Pale?

Speaker 4 (18:58):
I'm so happy. The Vikings did a great game and
they won against Detroit. Fun. It was just a fun
game to watch. Yeah, it's lovely and we finally got
to see JJ to understand who is this kid? Like
what can you do? And now we know what we
have and it's just great, so great, Yeah, man, I

(19:23):
love that. I also met the new neighbors today, which
is which is interesting.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Cool, lovely.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
Yeah, well they're not gonna.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah they might, they might to this, It doesn't.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
But the way we met it was kind of interesting
because last night there no last night, they're nineteen year
old seventeen year old son had a party. No, it
was two nights, two.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Nights ago, it was I think, so it was last night.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
It was last night. Sorry, But the cops showed up
and there was like cars lined up down the road.
The thing is some friends of ours across the you know,
a banded trail tracks and hill and all that like
far away. They contacted Erica asking, hey, what's going on

(20:30):
over there? Because they heard Yeah, they're like, what's up?
And we didn't call the cops, you know, I don't
think they would have.

Speaker 5 (20:38):
But it's just funny that that created that much of hey,
what's going on area?

Speaker 4 (20:45):
No, everything everything was fine, nothing was bad, nothing was
I think it's just kids being kids. Because then they
came today to like have him apologize to us, and
that's how I met them the first time.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
That's a great first meeting. Good for them, brutal, you know.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
And I also also learned that we are now officially
the most ten year ten year people on our street. Yeah,
every single house on our street people have now cycled out,
moved out, and so now we're the.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Wild seven years, you're the seasoned vets.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Uh ten almost ten now ten have been there almost years.
Next August will be ten.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Wow. Damn we are old right right.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
But you know what's not old. The humor of this
next film we're going to talk about so good. I mean,
it's for it can play at this game bugs like
it have to be out of here. So we gotta, yeah,
we gotta move this along.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
I had a time limit what we got a hard out?

Speaker 4 (22:00):
No, I don't have a heart out.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
It's soft album.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
I'm sorry. What did you say?

Speaker 1 (22:04):
That's how I do it. No, we can move it along.
We can dispatch of the preamble and rob you could
get a start with a rough synops. Sure.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Six blackmail victims are invited to an isolated mansion by
a man who knows a dark secret from each of
their past. So on arrival, each is given a pseudonym
drawn from CLUDEO. Before being introducted to the blackmailer. Each
is handed a weapon, at which point the lights are
switched off and the blackmailer is killed. Can the guess

(22:42):
uncover the murderer before they all become victims?

Speaker 4 (22:48):
I hate up speak man? Why did you do that
to me? Come on, speak?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Stop it? Well, that's a question, didn't count. Let's hear
what Ron Tomas has to say. Critics have this coming
in lower the thought, but at seventy three percent, terrible,
it's terrible. Learn that thought though, for sure. Audience members
though much higher. They're at eighty six percent.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
That's right, that's the right number.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
That's fresh, super fresh fresh. But it's time to hear
what we think? Shall we come in with our hot take. Ouch. Oh,
that's a hot take. That's a hot take. Oh spicy.
Oh the cook was probably cooking something. Yeah, at some point.

(23:35):
The soup they had soup they did probably that and
monkey brains, Monkey brains soup hot, monkey brains hot. I'll
go first. I like this movie a ton. This isn't
one I watched as a kid for some reason, so
I don't have a crazy ton of nostalgia for it personally,
but I have seen it several times as an adult.

(23:56):
I think it is a crazy cast that I know,
we'll talk a lot about, tons of jokes in it.
Just a really fun, farcical, you know, murder mystery comedy,
and it's just a really great time. It doesn't ever
take itself too seriously. It's just wonderful. I love it.
I love it so much. I think the lure behind

(24:18):
like shipping the film with multiple endings depending on which
city you're in, is really strange and fun and weird,
and I like it. And yeah, I just think this
movie is a blast, and it's gonna be really fun
to talk about my hottest take though. I know that

(24:39):
Netflix made Banders Match, which I never actually watched, so
maybe I'm the problem. But a movie like this where
you could sort of choose your own adventures you go
through it or even try to like solve the mystery
would be really fun. But I don't know why they
don't do that. They're trying to get more interactive. I
think that'd be a neat idea. That would be a
neat idea.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
You better TM that right.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Now, or yeah, well it's on wax as they said. Okay,
that probably won't help you. No, but I might. I'll
call Max. He's my copyright guy. Wit Ye wonderful.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
We have very similar takes because it was a movie
I missed back in the day as well.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
The first time I saw.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
It was on a flight, like either last year or
the year before, and I just thought it was so
much fun. It was written and directed by Jonathan Lynn,
who went on to direct a movie We Love That.
We've done an episode on my cousin Vinny.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Oh, I didn't know that that's the.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Same director, as well as some other fun ones like
The Distinguished Gentleman and The Whole nine Yards. He did
some fun kind of mystery comedies. It was also written
by Jonathan Landis, who did Animal House and Blues brothers
and training places and coming to America. So I would
imagine he was responsible for why it was so funny,

(25:59):
would my guess. I also loved the cast. I thought
the score from John Morris was really effective. He gets
the tone s he did all the mel Brooks films.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah and yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
I found that I didn't care so much about who
did it, but just how they were going about figuring
out the mystery. The comedy is much more satisfying than
the actual solving of the mystery. I found, for sure,
really enjoyed the alternate endings. My hot take. The sound
was not great. It seemed like everything that mister Body

(26:38):
said was like re recorded later and overdubbed.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Got a adr.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Yeah, for sure, it sounded pretty bad and was a
little yeah distracting in some spots, especially anytime mister Body talked,
which I also saw that his real name is lee Ving,
which that's crazy, that that's our real name.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Hysterical, I did not see that. Yes, I agree for
some I don't know if his mic was just bad,
but it was so weird that it was all his stuff.
I mean, it was almost made me thank did he
do a weird accent for forty years.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Yeah, I mean in nineteen eighty five, did they even
have body mics?

Speaker 1 (27:17):
I don't that's a good I don't know that for sure.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Probably just boom operators, right, But it just.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Seemed like it was always stuff stuff Yep, agreed, and
that was a little distracting. That's my hottest thing. I
get that hot take? Just up, what's your hot take?

Speaker 4 (27:34):
I love this movie. I've always loved this movie. I
did see it as a kid. I mean not when
it came out, but when I was a kid, I
watched it because my family thought it was a hilarious
movie a lot, right, Oh yeah, so much, dude, that's
so great. I've probably seen it twenty times before nineteen
ninety eight. And the thing that we always were mentioning

(27:58):
it was like, can you think of hardly any like
the idea that you could take a board game and
make a successful movie out of a comedy like this?
Like it's got of like how would you take the
movie sorry, and or the board game Sorry, and like
all the just the common games that we had at

(28:20):
the time, like the games we have today, but like
back then, how could you possibly make a movie out
of like a board game? And they pulled it off
so uh well, it was so well done. Uh yeah,
the writing is I think the biggest the fact that

(28:43):
I had a star studded cast that was excellent at
what they knew exactly what they were doing and.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
How to how to pull it off, how to do
it right. Uh And then the writing was just so
well done.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
Uh that those those are the two big key factors
and what made the whole thing click and work, and
then everything else, like, yeah, the production was I think
the production though to me, yes, but it's also endearing
and it just kind of fits the tone that this
is just a farce. It's not let's not take take

(29:17):
this seriously like it needs to be great. It can
be silly and stupid and kind of like the naked
gun movies.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
You know.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
Yeah, I'm very curious about the trivia is now what
I saw it. I never saw the I think we
remember hearing about the fact that would be different endings
for where you were in the country, but uh, I
only ever saw it with the I mean, I think
that's the case. But now you're really making me this
is such a long time ago. I'm really wondering now

(29:49):
if I.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
On the vhs they had all three, Okay, I think.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
H vhs Yeah yeah, yeah, but yeah, And you know
when it was a popular thing back in nineteen ninety eight,
when I was talking with other friends in high school
who were also like, yeah, that movie was awesome, and
then like we would be like, yeah, that was that
movie great? And then the video game counter Strike was

(30:14):
out and people were playing that a lot. But then
people were making levels that were the Mansion Clue, so
you would go around trying to shoot each other in
the clue mansion on this on counter Strike, and I
like all the fun things were there, so like you
could do all the secret passages and then the all
the interactive stuff in the house was there, and it

(30:36):
was like one of the best level designs. I was like,
this is amazing, this is so much fun. I was anyway,
that's great. Yeah, I really like that lot.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Very cool. Hot take that hot take love it. Well,
should we go talk about some of these cast members.
There's a time to name the dudes. I'm the dude,
So that's what you call me, you know that, or
his dude or a duoder or you know, eldud reno.
If you're not into the whole brevity.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
Thing, Tim Curry, would you like to go first?

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Who do you think?

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Oh, I'm just gonna assume I'm going to make a
bold assumption that you also have chosen Tim Curry as
the dude I did?

Speaker 1 (31:18):
I did? Yeah, I did too? Did you rap? Yeah?
How could you not?

Speaker 4 (31:23):
I mean maybe that's the conversation to have. How could
you not choose him?

Speaker 3 (31:27):
I mean, there's so many wonderful people.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
In this movie, but they're not the main they don't
have the main sub I mean.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
He gets it just because of the explanation that he
has at the end, which is just so.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Much fun, which is also my favorite scene.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
When they're like speed running through.

Speaker 5 (31:50):
Yeah, to get that right is like, Holy the work
that went into figuring that out.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Yeah, I bet he was exhausted after filming that running
around and just how many takes it to do and
I that it was weeks.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
Of that And it can be the timing and just
the timing of everything that's what's mine violence me. Everyone
was so perfect in their deliveries and their timing on
the script. It was incredible.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah. I also feel like he had to carry the
weight of like giving us some exposition at points like
to kind of tie things together a little more.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, he kind of holds He's the glue
that holds the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah yeah, like is it some structure. And he's also
super funny, so yeah, that was why I picked him.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
Definitely, definitely my wonderful favorite performance from him for sure.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Oh that's a good question. He's so good and so
many things.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Yeah, I think this would be my favorite thing he's done,
for sure. But I wasn't like a huge like a.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Rocky horror guy. I've never seen it, which is bizarre.
He was huge in that I would love it. Yeah,
but yeah, well cool. Let's move on to some of
the supporting cast. There's a lot of people to talk about.
Let's move on and choose the Tucci I want too?
Chi would you have for the Adam that one?

Speaker 4 (33:15):
I couldn't make a decision if if you had one,
all of the characters are equally the Tucci or whatever?
You know.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't feel that way.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
I can't pick one. Yeah, I think if if I
had to pick one, uh sorry, my recording software is
freaking out of me, freaking out, man, where is it?
I just had it here it's uh white, I can't

(33:51):
find her name.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Is white, Madeline Khan?

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Great.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
Pick Madeline Cohn. I'll pick her. She she played her
so well it was wonderful.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
If Madeline Cohn is in a movie, I'm probably picking her.
I think she is one of the funniest people that's ever.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Been in movies.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
When she is doing that, like talking about how she
killed her and and just like.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Just like.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
And at one point, at one point, I think it's
Michael McKeon is talking to her and she just goes
like it, just like does this random like yell, just
record something.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
That killed me?

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Yeah, I picked her as well because I just love
her so much. But yeah, right behind her, I had
Michael McKeon as mister Green. And it's pretty much just
because of the last line in.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
The movie, which so great. Dude great him like being
so jumpy.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Throughout the whole thing was hilarious and spilling drinks on everybody, and.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
And that dude is still killing it, like everything.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
What's the latest thing that I would have seen him in?

Speaker 3 (35:19):
He was doing like they just redid a spinal tap
movie which I haven't seen.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, so he would have been in there. That was
that's probably the most recent thing. Huh. But he's been
in like a million things, like one episode things or whatever,
like all that stuff. He's incredible. Who do you have? Uh, well,
I love your Both of your picks are great picks.

(35:48):
I'm going to pick Martin mull He was my next
because he's so funny in this. He's been great and
also just a million things over the years as well.
But man, just him, he's just he's kind of a
prick in this a little bit, which is really funny.
Kind of dumb, yeah, dumb, and you know, but also

(36:08):
thinks he has all the answers and that's a that's
a pretty good recipe for comedy when it's done right.
So I just really liked him. I thought he was
really fun and he was in I always think of
him from his little stint on Veep. Did you guys
watch Veep?

Speaker 4 (36:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yeah, I loved Yeah. When he calls the one guy Ben,
he calls him but that was his nickname back in
the day. It's so funny, and he's like kind of
dementiated at that point, but it's really funny. It's really great.
I love him a lot. Runner up to Christopher Lloyd
who is wonderful, but.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
He doesn't do anything for me in this movie.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Yeah, I thought he was more involved than I remember.
You know. I went into it being like, hell, yeah
he's gonna kill it. And he was good, but he's
like his character.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
Yeah, his character was very toned down. But it's fine.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Yeah, he's not bad, it's just he doesn't get to
let go.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
But when I saw that Christopher Lloyd was in it,
I was like, oh yeah, And then I watched it, Oh,
this is kind of a you.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
Went you wanted to see Doc Brown and you didn't
get Doc Brown.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
You didn't get professor near Doc Brown.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
If Doc Brown was just so pervy, then maybe he
was very perfect.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
It was a forward Yeah. And Aileen Brennan I thought
was really good.

Speaker 5 (37:36):
Cock.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Yeah, I kind of liked her. I don't know if
she she cracked me up.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
Her opening line at the table at the Yeah, yeah,
that whole she goes on and everybody just doesn't say it.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Okay, that's really fun. I liked her so good.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Your Vett was played by Colleen Camp and she was impressive.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
My Heaven is very impressive.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Yeah, she was just very that that French accent was
very impressive.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
I really enjoyed that. She is a buxom glass I
think is their correct word. Oh was she? Oh yeah,
I wasn't. That wasn't me. Well, yeah, that didn't sound great.
Probably here we are. I was trying to regain my wits.

(38:33):
Not motor boats and let's move on. H Leslie and
Warren is.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Miss Scarlett was also, she was great.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
She was great. That's a good call.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
Yeah, and she's still doing stuff too. It sounds like
I looked her up her IMDb. She's doing stuff this year.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
So those are all the people that I wrote down to.
Anybody else, have anybody else? That's almost everybody. Yeah, although
I recognized the chief, but I don't know what from
Bill Henderson.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Oh m dude, that guy's awesome. Did you guys ever
see that w KRP in Cincinnati. He was like the
main disc jockey and for whatever reason, that was on
the well before we were watching stuff. But I think
it was like on Nick at Night or something.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah. That.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
But then he was also the teacher in head of
the class, which I loved when I was that's what I.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Know I'm from. Yeah, okay, got it.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yeah, thank you for bringing him up because he I
always loved that actor.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
He was cool. He got a tiny role in this,
but yeah, you know, he's just such a fun guy.
I like, yeah, big fan of him. Dude, that's a
good call. Nice. That was everybody though, and honestly, that's
most of the cast. Yeah, there's not a lot of
people in this movie.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
No, no, Well then let's move on to our favorite scene,
and let's choose the.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Dingus sons is quite simple, really, ingus Ingus. I can
talk about my dingas all night long. Adam, you said one,
I think already.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
What's your favorite explanation at the end, I mean, oh yeah, yeah,
that scene sells the movie right there.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Honestly, reveal re enacting everything is just by far the
best part of the movie.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
It's so funny.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
And they do it three different times and each time
is different. Like you imagine having to do that, learn
that script and be like okay, now we're going to
do the second end it and you have to do
this totally different. Yeah, learn your.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Lines, don't learn him too well. Yeah, I love it.
And there's so so much to say sorry, and there's
just so much physical comedy too. Yeah. Yeah, him, he
was thrown around.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Michael McKeon all over the place, which was pretty great.
But dude, when he like drags Madeline Cohn up the
stairs and she like falls and doesn't follow him up
killed me. I loved that. Yeah, so it's a great pick.
That's one hundred percent my pick as well. My runner
up is probably when the cop shows up and their

(41:19):
smart idea to fool him was to like start making
out with the corpses.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Yes, I was dying it was.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
It's Missus Peacock's arms and she's out, Oh.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
God, she's just horrified.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Yeah, but I'd rather have that gig than Madeline Cohn
was just straight up kissing the corpse of mister Body.

Speaker 4 (41:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Yeah, it's the warmish helps me. Yeah, I don't know.
But what makes it worse?

Speaker 4 (41:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
My runner up? What did you have? Bukes, Well, you've
said my number one and my runner up, which is love.
One thing that just knocked me out because I think
because I didn't remember it, but the killing of the
Singing Telegram Gal. Yeah, that's that's just clean fun right there.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Just like Telegram.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
It's so funny and such like a perfect you know,
encapsulation of the silly humor of this movie. I really
liked that a lot. Yeah, so I guess I picked
that for my third one. It's hard though, because the
scenes are hard to parse out.

Speaker 3 (42:47):
I don't know, Well, like another runner up is just
like when everyone pairs up and searches the house, and
that's like fun.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
That's like a lot of different scenes. Yeah, that's a
good call.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
But each one of them is pretty fun and they're
own way and they're fine in secret passageways, and yeah,
I thought that was really fun.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
I do. And I just love all those scenes when
they're re enacted in our our pick for these, like
when he smacks her again. Well I had to, right, Yeah,
that whole thing. It's just so funny.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
What I want to I just thought of this too.
What's really impressive about this movie And this is kind
of jumping a little place and going back to like
the hot take, but the fact that you would go
to this movie thinking, when you play the game, while
it's one person, one weapon, and one room, but in
the movie they wrote it so it's like six different
weapons got you, or like every every weapon had a

(43:43):
purpose in the movie, you know, for being there and
what it was. And yeah, really really well done in
that regard.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Honestly, they did a really good job making the board
game central to it without making it seem lame.

Speaker 5 (43:59):
Yeah, that's that's really well, that's the best way to
put it for I was trying to say earlier.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Yeah, yeah, it's really fun. I will say one other
scene that I wrote down as a runner up was
just the it's like right away, but the bit of
him having stepped in the dog crap everyone.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Yeah, it sets the tone really well that like, this
is going to be silly. Yeah, because every single character
smells it and looks at their shoe, every one of them, and.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
It like doesn't get in the way, but it is
so funny. Yeah. I love that. That's a good call, dude. Yeah,
that was really great. Yeah. I guess we're picking the
rehash scene for sure. Yeah, I love it. I love it. Well,
let's talk about some of these quotes. It's time to
show me the money, show me.

Speaker 4 (44:56):
There's so many, like the whole Spirit, it's like crazy,
you know, well, Rob some of the ones, really the
whole Madelines, like subscribing the breathing, heavy heathing friends the
side of my face. It was just like, oh my god,

(45:21):
I really this is the one that I didn't catch
when I like I had, I didn't catch un till
way later. But when when once it goes up to
Professor plump Like to discuss his background, he says, you
were once the professor of psychiatry, specializing and helping paranoid
and homicidal lunatics suffering from delusions of grandeur. Yes, but

(45:43):
now I work at the United Nations, so your work
has not changed.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Yeah. Really good.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
That probably went over your head for sure.

Speaker 5 (45:53):
Yeah, uh yeah, I meant, also says at the end
during the whole say and she's she's like something I
can't remember how to said it is, but it's like
this one thing that that still doesn't make sense or whatever,
and she's like one thing.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
Yeah right, that's great. Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
The quote of the movie for me is Michael McKeon
at the end and he says, they all did it.
But if you want to know who killed mister body,
I did in the hall with the revolver. Okay, Chief
take him away. I'm going to go home and sleep
with my wife.

Speaker 4 (46:35):
Kid shake.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Yeah, I love it. He also says, so it was you.
I was going to expose you.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
Then Wadsworth says, I know, so I choose to expose
myself and Colonel Mustard. Please there are ladies present.

Speaker 4 (46:52):
Yea, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
Always love that. Wadsworth says frankly Scarlet.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
I don't give a damn. That's a good one.

Speaker 4 (47:02):
Nobody would get today. They've seen that scene Gone with
the Wind, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Yeah, I mean that's TikTok video a thousand times.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
Oh, they're talking about Missus White's husbands and almost like five,
Like yes, just the five husbands should be like kleenic, soft,
strong and disposable. You lure me into their deaths like
a spider with flies. Flies are where men are most vulnerable.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Like I like that.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
Oh and one really dumb one that made me laugh. Uh,
because Yvette is French, and so miss Peacock is like,
is there a little girl in the we we madam?

Speaker 1 (47:54):
No, I just want to powder my nose.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Perfect. I love a wee wee joke. So when do
you got bugs? Uh? Let us in, let us in,
let us out, let us out. Really it cracks me
up every time.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
It's perfect. I run a specialized hotel and phone service
which provides a gentleman with the company of a young
lady for a short while. Oh yeah, what's the phone number?
Just like he's just immediately like yes, yeah, he's so perfect, Hornball,
he was very perfu horny a double negative. You mean

(48:31):
you have the photographs? I thought that was nice. I
like that one a lot. Uh oh, your first husband disappeared,
Well that was his job. He was an illusionist, but
he never reappeared. Well he wasn't a very good illusionist.
That was very fun. There's a lot of that, like,
you know, turn a phrase which I always love, Sam,

(48:56):
Why is Jay Edgar Hoover on your phone? I don't
Alwa's on every everyone else's. Why shouldn't he be in mine? Yeah?
That was a nice little, nice little political joke there.
Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:06):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (49:06):
And then they had but is the FBI in the
habit of cleaning up after a multiple murder?

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (49:11):
Why do you think it's run by a man called Hoover?

Speaker 4 (49:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (49:14):
That was really good. I like, uh, are you trying
to make me look stupid in front of the other guests.
Well you don't need help from me, sir, That's.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
Right, just perfect, Yeah, a little bit.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
What other ones do you guys have that. That was
it for me.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
The gun thing was pretty funny. There's no more bullets
in that gun.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
One plus two plus one one shot.

Speaker 4 (49:44):
The two shots the channel are two shots at the
door and one shot of the gun.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
That's not six.

Speaker 4 (49:50):
That's one plus one plus two plus one one plus
two plus one plus one. Fine, Yeah that's good.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
And then there still was bullet at the end. It's
just like one, so funny. I also love the no, sir,
I'm merely a humble butler. Well, what do you do?
Eye buttle? Yeah, but eye buttle.

Speaker 4 (50:15):
I love that one.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
Saying someone bubbles. It's just so lovely. It's good. I
like one who bottles. I think that's all the ones
I wrote down.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
Though, Yeah, I didn't write anything else down, but there
was hard stuff that.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
Was so many.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
Yeah, it was fun and I think some of them
maybe they weren't that funny, but just how they said
it was yeah too, you know, yeah, I love it.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
Well, let's move on to bugs.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Boohoo moments way, I don't think he cried.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Yeah, yeah, zero, this is a goose egg. Yeah it's
a zero. Well, there wasn't even a you can't even
get close.

Speaker 5 (50:53):
In these there's nothing about it that pulls it the
heartstrings at all.

Speaker 4 (50:57):
It's just a fun.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
Rollers emotional investment. Yeah, like sadness. Wise, it all knew
with you. Let's just go ahead and talk some movie trivia.
There was a lot. Yeah, right, So the the endings
thing we talked about, the three endings were shot and
a different one was shown at each h theater. All
three were included on the videotape. The DVD, however, aside

(51:22):
from having all three endings, also allowed you the option
to random to have it randomly select for you. Basically yes,
And I guess I'd never read this before, but even
in newspapers once it got up, but there were different
endings to this movie. It would say like Clue ending A,
and then in a different city it would be like

(51:43):
ending b ending C.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
Well, like the whole point of it was so that
people wouldn't spoil it for everybody else. Yeah, yeah, like
that's what people would have to go see the movie
because they don't know what it's going to be.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Well, and I think Landis said like part of it
was he thought maybe that would make people go three times,
which would make their box office, which is really funny.
I don't think that happened. No, I don't think that
worked it. I think made money later. The flames on
the side of my Face monologue that you guys have
referenced a couple of times was was ad lipped, which

(52:20):
I think is really funny, amazing. It makes it so
much better. In an example of attention to detail, the
secret passages in the movie lead to the same rooms
they do on the board game, which I actually went
and looked up while I was watching it, so I
was like, Oh, that'd be cool if they did that
and then read this later. It's really fun.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
And then also all of the rooms are in the
correct order as they are on the board game if
you go clockwise the hall, lounge, dining room, et cetera,
et cetera. But yeah, I just thought that was really fun.
It took the time to lovingly give that attention. I
always think stuff like that's neat Tween takes. On the set,
some of the actors would play pool in the billiards,

(53:03):
but Leslie and Warren could not partake in these activities
because she wore an extremely tight corset that restricted her movement.
Between takes. She would find places to lean on and rest,
which is so sad. I'll just be over here leaning.
She just enjoy playing your games. Terrible. I'm just going
to breathe over here. I'm just struggling to breathe. It's brutal, terrible.

(53:31):
The entire house is a set except for the ballroom,
which was shot on location at a mansion in Pasadena.
The main set was then bought by Eron Spelling, who
used it as the Carlton Hotel on Dynasty in ninety
Yeah apparently. Professor Plum Christopher Lloyd hypothesizes that the group

(53:54):
or to the group that the Brandy was poisoned at
one point, and in the original Clue in the US
and include Okay, poison was included amongst the possible weapons
and later reintroduced in the nineties Clue Master Detective, which
I never played, but that was a nice amash. Professor

(54:14):
Plumb indicates at dinner that he works for the World
Health Organization, part of the organization, and this of course
means that he works for you know who. I love
that so much. It's really funny. I never no one
ever picked up on that, but I love the they Yes,
it's hilarious. Did you guys want psych at all. People

(54:38):
love psych, people love psych.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
I watched the pilot episode because somebody was telling me
they loved psych, and I was like, oh, I get it, Like.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
It's fun, dude, you can get into it. Then huh yeah, yeah,
I gotta watch it. But so apparently they have a
Psych episode called one hundred Clues that is a spoof
on this movie, and Leslie and Warren, Christopher Lloyd, and
Martin mull all are reunited in that episode. That's pretty bad.
So that's really fun, pretty cool. The Singing Telegram Girl

(55:07):
was Jane Widelan Weedland, best known as the rhythm guitarist
of the Go Gos Nice, which I did not know
that that was someone I should have known. That's fun.
Let's see, when Wadsworth cuts the power to the house
during his solving of the mystery, it represents the point
of divergence of the three endings, which I at the time,

(55:28):
but I love that. I think that's so cleaning. Good
for them. Smart. What else do we got? Oh? The
decor of the house included portraits of President Abraham Lincoln,
James Garfield, and William McKinley, all of whom were murdered,
which I thought was a nice touch in there. I

(55:50):
did not. Let's see, there was a fourth ending, scripted
and shot, in which Wadsworth commits did all the murders
out of a twisted need for perfection in his life.
He reveals that he poisoned everyone with slow acting toxin
in their drinks. It ended with Wadsworth being killed by
the dogs as he attempted to escape by car from

(56:12):
the house. The rather grim nature of this ending is
probably why it was never released. It's fun that they
bring the dogs back, they said, they they scripted it
and shot it, so wow, show that that does seem
intense though.

Speaker 4 (56:30):
I mean, yeah, but if you prep yourself, then you're
just a true fan that wants to see.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
It, right, you know. Apparently it does survive in the
novelization and storybooks of it, which has a single photo
from that ending, which is the chief punching Wadsworth in
the stomach. Apparently, so there's that. I always love this.
At one point, Professor Plum says that they only have
fifteen minutes until the police come. Exactly fifteen minutes later

(56:56):
in real time, the evangelist, who's later really revealed to
be the police chief, rings the doorbell. That is fun.
So I like that timestance stuff. I think that's fun.

Speaker 3 (57:06):
Every time that they did it, or was it just
have fifteen minutes because they do this okay, because they
were like in thirty nine minutes.

Speaker 1 (57:12):
Yeah, I was.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
I was wondering if they kept up with that or not,
but now it sounded like no, but they did do
it for that part.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Let's see, that's just a lot of stuff. I don't
want to read that. An ending b Mister Green remarks
missus peacock was a man, which is a super funny line.
But also in the ornithology, a peacock refers to the
male of the species and a p hen is the
female counterpart. So don't say we never taught you anything. Hey,

(57:44):
you get a bunch of p hens. I just learned something.
But yeah, that was all the truvia I had.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
I had a couple of things.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Dude.

Speaker 3 (57:54):
It looks like Carrie Fisher was supposed to be Miss Scarlett.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
I read that's crazy, dude.

Speaker 3 (58:01):
Was she was in rehab for drug addiction before the
filming started.

Speaker 4 (58:08):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
Carrie Fisher called the director agreed to to a work furlough,
which received approval of her clinicians and the producers, but
was vetoed by the Productions Insurance Company, forcing lind to
dismiss her from the project, and Warren was cast as
a last minute replacement. But dude, yeah, Carrie Fisher would
have really brought up even more. I saw dude. Rowan

(58:40):
Atkinson was almost uh who was almost.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
Oh Wadsworth? Oh fun yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
Like American audiences weren't super familiar with him at that
point and the and yeah, mister Bean got going like
five years later.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
He would have been so good. Yeah, Ron Atkinson would
have been really fun man.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
Jennifer Jason Lee, Demi Moore, and Madonna were considered for
the role of the bucksom French made. Yvette eager to
earn the part, Colleen Camp went to our audition in
low cut French made costume, showing a lot of cleavage.
In a twenty thirteen interview, writer and director Jonathan Lynn
admitted that although he was impressed with Camp's comedic acting skills,

(59:31):
it was her well endowed figure that ultimately convinced him.
He said, there was no avoiding it.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
Wow, he just came out and said it. He really
just said it. Wow. Wow, I mean your props are huge.
I mean that, Yeah, that was all I had. Did
you have anything else?

Speaker 4 (59:56):
You cannot go and visit the set?

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
It burnt.

Speaker 4 (01:00:02):
It burnt down in two thousand and five in Pasadena, sad,
super sad.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Yeah that's a bummer.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
Wait, well didn't they say most of the most of
the movie was sets, but there was like yeah, yeah, house.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
The house burnt down.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
No, the set, the set, the mansion. The house site
is located at one sixty s San Rafael Street in Pasadena, California,
burned down in two thousand and five. Only the gates
and remnants of the driveway, including some stone structures, are

(01:00:40):
still recognizable.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Yeah that was expensive, I bet Yeah. Wow, nice man.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
Well, will there will there be a sequel? Judgment day?

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
No, I did see, I mean possible there was.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
A readaptation from twentieth Century Fox was announced on August seventeen,
twenty sixteen. It was in development at Sony, with Zach
Kregor in talks to direct. A remake was announced in
twenty sixteen, with Ryan Reynolds later announced to star in
and with a script by Rhet Reese and Paul Wernick,

(01:01:19):
his co writers on the Deadpool series, but it seems
that nothing has really come to Fruition yet.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
I guess he got busy with all the Deadpool stuff, right, Yeah,
you could totally make it again. Yeah, it'd be great. Yeah,
the toy company will probably love it because you'd probably
sell a bunch of the board games.

Speaker 4 (01:01:37):
It'd be super happy.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Yeah, but yeah, I think you totally could. Yeah, that'd
be great. I'd watch it. Nice different board game movie
that's ever existed. So hold on it was it Battleship? No,
I never saw Battleship. It's kind of chanting because this one.

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
I don't think it was for the moviemy gmngie.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
That was just a book. Bro. That wasn't a game.
They have a board game now, and it was in
the movie, right, But I don't think I said it
was said it was a stretch. It was a stretch.
At least Battleship was a real game. Did you watch Battleship?
I did. It wasn't great. Yeah, it looked dumb. I

(01:02:21):
remember when they announced that. I was like, come on, right,
and that a movie for god?

Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
Yeah, but that's what most people would think if anyone
tries to make a movie a Monopoly movie.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
I feel like making coming up. Really, I feel like
I recently heard about it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
Monopoly seems like it could have some legs.

Speaker 4 (01:02:41):
It could like there's a lot of there's a lot
of ways you could go with it, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
Yeah. But other than that, I mean from Margot, Robbie
and lions Gate.

Speaker 4 (01:02:54):
Sure if they made it like you go into an
alternate universe and you're actually playing the board game Monopolate
or some or maybe you're playing against the Devil or some,
that would be the worst adaptation I could possibly imagine.
Like they have to do it like they did at
the movie Clue, where it's it's not trying to be literal,

(01:03:17):
but right, you know what I mean? Right?

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
Yeah? Uh, do you guys want to play a game?
