Episode Transcript

(00:44):
Hey everybody, welcome to big dumb monsters.
I'm Nick. And I'm Chris.
And this week, we take a trip back to 1969 by way of 2002.
Yeah. But in the most 2000s way
possible. Yeah, we're watching scooby-doo
the the first live action movie.Enjoyable.

(01:06):
Fun. Very fun missing just like
something for me, but I had a blast.
But yeah, no, like the the fun is all there.
Like the scooby-doo isms are allthere just as a movie.
I think it just needs a little little love somewhere.
But anyway, we'll get into why we think that, why I think it's
missing something, why Chris loves it.

(01:30):
Just watch the movie and listen along and.
Enjoy the ride. Form your own opinion.
It's a free country anyway. Yeah, so big dumb monsters
watching Scooby-doo enjoy the show.

(02:21):
There we are. We've done it again.
Yes, on our own, like adults. Yep, here we go again on our
own. We are once again sans producer.
It's OK, art's out, you know, getting trained on.
He's getting trained to run on him or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you know what?

(02:43):
I don't think we're going to need a lot of help with this one
because this is a fucking bangerof a movie.
It is and it isn't. I I see, I think I'm, I like,
when I first saw this movie, I was so disappointed.
I think I, like, I was so hyped up watching it yesterday,
though, like fucking this is a goddamn joy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I absolutely loved.

(03:03):
Like I appreciated a lot more. I appreciated the humor a lot
more. Like, I don't know, I think I
just wasn't 'cause like, I probably at the year 2000, like,
was probably way more into watching, like, animated
scooby-doo and, like, was expecting something.
Yeah, we're watching scooby-doo,by the way.
Yeah. Hey, hey.
Fighting with friends. Well, well, well, hello, Hello.

(03:27):
What's going on? Yeah, we're just talking
scooby-doo. We're hanging out.
What? Up fam.
Yeah, no, Arthur, unfortunately.But we're, you know.
I have. I have two major gripes with
this movie. OK.
Go for it. One the like the storyline is a
jumbled ass mess. Yes, but I think I appreciated

(03:52):
it more this time as like your typical Scooby-doo episode.
Scooby-doo has a very structuredstory.
Very structured. But we do get the like the
things we get, like the fucking story of them, like getting
there, like you get the scene with the with the elaborate
like, you know, contraption likeset up like that goes wrong.
And then like it eventually fucking pays off though.

(04:13):
Like it has those base elements that you want in a Scooby-doo
episode, but. No, I'm not saying the puzzle
pieces aren't there. They just like they don't line
up right and there's an actual supernatural element to this.
Like I hate that. Yeah, yeah, that that I was
thinking about yesterday. The demons are like the one
thing that isn't like Scooby-doobecause it is an actual like

(04:36):
demon or whatever. Scooby-doo, like, all right,
here we go. You pull back the layers of
scooby-doo right in an episode of scooby-doo, and the solution
is always that there is someone behind it.
Like there's not ghosts. There's not.

(04:57):
Monsters. There's a guy in a mask.
You have somebody to place your blame on.
If you actually add a supernatural element, that means
that there are things that are out of your control.
And like, that's like a key element of Scooby-doo is that
like, no matter how buck wild and crazy it is, you can ground
it in reality that it was a guy in a mask.

(05:19):
Yeah, it's just an elaborate scam.
Yeah, and to lose that, I think loses a big piece of Scooby-doo.
Yeah, I that I can see that I can see that is like a big
thing. I, I if if it was enough for me
to notice it, watching it like, yeah, it's fucking.
But I think everything else is here, like more so now as I'm

(05:40):
watching it than I did like whenI originally watched it like.
I got a lot more of the jokes. Yeah.
Like a lot of the, the, the likethe adult humor in it.
Yeah. And, but I don't like, I don't
know that I loved it. I, I, I, I enjoyed the movie.
Like, let me put this here. I I enjoy watching this movie.

(06:02):
Blast watching this yesterday like.
The sequel is far better. Is it really?
Yes. I do remember, like, people
shitting on the sequel and then when I finally saw this, yeah,
when I finally saw it, like, this was fucking great.
And like, I don't think I've seen it since it first came out,
but I remember had more of like the classic monsters in it like.
Yes, that felt more like an episode of Scooby-doo, where

(06:24):
this is like something inspired by episodes of Scooby-doo.
The tropical setting is like a little off, but I.
Think but they've done stuff like that, you know like.
Yeah. Also I think like they really
like marketed this not to kids so much but as kids who grew up
on Scooby-doo who were now like in college like.

(06:45):
This is this is. Hey guys, show Scooby-doo to
your kids too. Yeah, yeah, yeah 'cause this
movie is 2000s as fuck. It really is like, and it shows
itself and, like, in, like, the best way possible, but, you
know, like when we were talking about Texas Chainsaw Massacre
and that being a product of its times, you know, like a really

(07:06):
negative way. Yeah.
Like it doesn't really matter with this.
Yeah, yeah, it's very much is a product of a time.
So like, actually, like, I again, I had a thought watching
it yesterday. Like if you didn't grow up in
that time era, like you would think everybody's just dressed
exaggeratedly. Yeah.
Like with way too many colors and like.

(07:27):
Yeah, it is real life dog. No, that's how it was, man.
Yeah. Actually it's it's a little
unrealistic because there are people with only one popped
collar. Do you remember the guys who
would wear 2 polo shirts? Pop both collars?
Oh yeah, yeah, the douchebaggerywas rampant.
With the fucking, with the like the the Titleist visors and

(07:49):
whatever. It's just fucking puka shells
and axe body spray everywhere God.
I I like, like even. I love the 2000s for a lot of
things. Fashion was not one of them.
Fashion music as evidenced by Sugar Ray.
Sugar Ray if. This movie couldn't get any more

(08:10):
2000. This was what, 2002?
Yeah, Sugar Ray was already played out by then.
Yeah, that was like 98, like 99.Yeah.
Oh man. Yeah.
I don't. I don't.
I don't I don't understand some of the choices that were made in

(08:32):
this movie, but I appreciate a lot of the choices that were
made in this movie. The cast is great.
I'd like for the time that this came out, I don't think they
could have picked a better set of actors.
Yeah, no, if everybody gels really well.
Like I mean fucking Matthew Willard nails Shaggy so much
though. Like I think he's still playing

(08:54):
Shaggy like voice. Wise since 2010, I think he is.
He has just been the voice of Shaggy.
Yeah, I mean I. Mean Freddie Prinze Junior like
I could like I I don't really care.
He's a good Fred. Could they have done better on
that casting? Maybe, maybe.

(09:17):
I don't know. Also like.
But who could they have picked in that era?
I mean like. That's what I'm trying to think.
Yeah, Limpy Carlini is fucking awesome as Velma.
Yeah, she gets that, like, kind of nasally thing.
She's, like, the right stature for it.
Like they needed somebody, like,short and, like, unassuming

(09:40):
Sarah Michelle Gellar. What?
However you pronounce it. Yeah.
Great, I appreciated the Daphne jokes a lot more when I was
watching yesterday. Like all the jokes about her
being useless and like just getting captured all the time
fucking until like she kicks assat the end.
Yeah, man, I would love a Mystery Machine.

(10:03):
Yeah, that would be odd. That would either get vandalized
or stolen like. Yeah, it really would.
You just bring it to car shows, that's all.
Oh another gripe is the like theScooby CGI is OK.
Those fucking monsters are terrible.

(10:25):
Yeah. And I want to be like, all
right, it's a product of the times.
It's 2002, so it means they weremaking it in like 2000, 2001.
But like, that's no excuse because we had the CGI then.
No the CGI and the dog looks better.
It just, you could tell they cheaped out on the on the
fucking on those monsters because there's probably, you
know, a lot of them and they just, you know, you know, just

(10:45):
didn't have the time to do them all.
Yeah, but like, why wouldn't youlike do it practical or like do
a good job with the CGI? Yeah, they didn't do either.
Yeah, I don't know. They just like that.
That just really bothered me because like, you know, they
were looking at that and they were like, oh man, this looks
like APS 2 game. Yeah, yeah.

(11:07):
Fuck it. We can't.
We don't have the time. Get it out.
But I want to see this had a decent size fucking budget.
So like what the fuck? I don't know, it's just.
But it is. It is.
It is a delight. This Scooby-doo has always,
through my entire life, been oneof my favorite cartoons.

(11:30):
Yeah, and it's been a constant, like forever.
Yeah. And just like, because when this
first came out, I was like, I was hesitant because, like,
Scooby-doo is near and dear to my heart.
But to see that they actually did a decent job of it, like
when it first came out, I liked it a lot.
Yeah. Like, I thought it was fun and

(11:50):
cool and, like, a decent take. And I still think that, but now
I have to poke holes in it and, you know, the story being a
fucking jumbled mess, like the. The CGI is terrible.
Yeah. Some of the jokes are really
bad. Like some of them are, yeah.

(12:12):
I like the scrappy like reveal of him being the villain.
Yeah, I thought that was fun. I've never been one of those
people that hated Scrappy Doo. I think I grew up like right in
that time where it was acceptable to like, like Scrappy
Doo. He was like, yeah, 'cause when I
was watching it, obviously I wascatching reruns of it 'cause it
was like the Scrappy stuff was alittle before my time, like the

(12:35):
the regular stuff was. But I was like, right in that
age where Scrappy was cool. Yeah.
Like that's when I saw those. Like when I was a kid, like
Scrappy do, those episodes were like the Saturday morning
cartoon episodes where as like the good episodes and like the
ones with the celebrity guests, those were during the week.
Yeah, that was a missed opportunity too in this movie.

(12:57):
Like just to have the Harlem. Globetrotters.
Yeah like just a random ass likecelebrity show up as themselves
like. The Addams Family walk across
the background. Yeah, yeah.
Like I was even thinking. One Batman.
Give me one, Batman. Like who?
Like what would have been perfect for this?
I think like the. Globetrotters I think.
Well, yeah, yeah. Like you wouldn't get like the
classic globetrotters though. But you can have them dress up

(13:19):
like the classic globetrotters. That's true, but if you if we're
doing it like in the era, like Jay and Silent Bob, I think
would be good. Like, I mean, they like, it's
fucking perfect. Yeah, it kind of is.
Yeah, because think about like the 70s ones you have like you

(13:40):
have like people. The Mamas and the Papas.
Yeah, like the yeah, the Mamas and the Papas.
You have like Jerry Reed fucking, you have the Three
Stooges. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Addams Family. Yep.
Yep, there was a couple episodesof Batman.
Yeah, Batman and Robin. Trotters.

(14:01):
Who else was on it? Oh fucking I.
Think it was just Mama cast, notthe Mamas and the Papas.
Might have been. Yeah, but even still, that's
like a fucking of the time gueststar.
I'm trying. To think of like there was.
Don Knotts. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don Knotts, There was somebody like, oh man, did Rickles do an

(14:25):
episode? Special with kiss that was
recent. I don't think so, no.
I would have remembered that. Oh.
Scooby-doo meets Kiss was awesome.
Was fucking awesome, yeah. Oh, Jonathan Winters was another
one I remember. Yeah, that's who I was thinking
of, not Rickles, Jonathan Winters, 'cause he was doing all
the invitations in the fucking episode.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

(14:46):
You had like Josie and the Pussycats show up for a couple
episodes. God I was I miss watching
scooby-doo all the fucking time.Yeah, 13 Ghosts of Scooby-doo
was awesome. Vincent Price.
Yeah, it was Vincent van Gogh. Yeah, but yeah, total missed
opportunity. Just have a random celebrity

(15:08):
show up and help solve the mystery.
Yeah, like a meaningful celebrity.
Yeah. Because I was looking at these
Jamox on the fucking plane and Iwas like, is that like somebody
famous? Is that like simple plan or?
Yeah, I guess you get Sugar Ray showing up, but they didn't just
play a song and get the fuck outlike.
Yeah, we said celebrities. Dang it.

(15:36):
God damn it. It's fine.
Even the wah wah doesn't work. Yeah.
They were all working before, what the fuck?
I don't know, it's fine. Boots.
Boots. Modern day scooby-doo meets
ghosts when? I would love that.

(15:59):
See, that would be a perfect like if you were still doing
Scooby-doo episodes, that would be a perfect like guest star.
Yeah, I've I've seen goat like the band ghost scooby-doo themed
artwork. Really.
Like, yeah, it could work. It could really work.
Oh, pardon me, are you gonna make it?
Burping my ass off. It's podcasting as we.

(16:21):
Said that is podcasting. I'm a little sad we don't have
sound effects tonight. Yeah.
I they, I tested them and they were working.
Arthur is not here again. Yeah, they were working a little
while ago. No.
Well, that's OK. Yeah, I'm looking.
I got the fucking lights working.
They weren't working either, really.
Yeah, it's not OK. Yeah, let's see, what else can

(16:45):
we say about this? This was an absolute waste of
Rowan Atkinson. You chase music by haters.
Yeah, we could have had a littlemore.
Rowan Atkinson. Yeah, and like what what they

(17:08):
did with him was like not it wasnot enough, not enough.
Especially somebody of his like fucking his pedigree, right?
Like you, you would think that you would want him more in the
movie. Yeah.
I mean, at this point, especially, like for this crowd
that they're marketing to, he's the same people who grew up with
him as Mr. Bean. Yeah.
So like, yeah, why don't you know, don't you have him as a
bigger point of the movie? Nobody's watching him in this

(17:30):
because they saw him in Johnny English.
Yeah, yeah. Because nobody saw Johnny
English. Also can I say like Spooky
Island in real life would be fucking awesome.
Oh, it'd. Be so sick.
Yeah, it'd be so sick. Yeah, I want that.
I want that. Just, you know, like a resort
with like an awesome spooky theme park.

(17:52):
Like you just get hammered and watch, like go watch a skeleton
walk around. Oh fuck.
Sugar Ray's on again. We're going to the theme park.
Fuck it, we'll be back later. Unless we're throwing beer cans.
And also ghost is not scooby-doochase music.

(18:14):
It is close but they are spooky.ABBA is what they are.
Spooky ABBA. Yeah, those freaking Swedes,
man. Yeah, and I once again just
expressed my love for Linda Cardellini.
Satanic ABBA. All right, we'll give you that

(18:36):
much. Yeah.
Again. Why is a Rhone Atkinson dressed
so weird? No, no, it was 2000.
Yeah. It was 2002.
You could wear a sparkly blazer and get away with it.
That's true. Like there weren't a lot of red

(18:58):
herring characters in this. Also, is this a new chatter?
Yeah. How's it going?
Thanks for joining us. Yeah, yeah, like I said, like,
like a lot of the puzzle pieces were here, but there it was just
jumbled and I think 'cause it they had to do like a lot of
rewrites and reshoots and shit like.
That I do remember this movie, like going through some troubles

(19:18):
getting made, yeah. Yeah, it's just like nothing
really like lines up the way I need it to.
For it to be like this is Scooby-doo, 'cause it doesn't
have, like, it just doesn't havethe flow of the cartoon.
It's got like the the spirit andall the elements, but they're
just, it's 2 all over the place.Yeah, I don't know.

(19:39):
You ready to throw some ratings down?
Yeah, we could throw some ratings on this.
OK, I'll go first. It's.
This is really difficult like this.
I can imagine, yeah. You want me to go first?
My heart wants to go high, but like if I'm looking at this in a

(20:02):
in a critical view, it's like a 65.
God damn. All right.
And like, it kills me to do that.
I think I'm going to have to go 2 scale on this just to to get
around that. Two OK movie ass Movie 65 horror
movie. Like the little kid who loves

(20:23):
scooby-doo. It's a.
It's an 8. Yeah, that's what I was going to
give. It was an 8.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, if you, if you love scooby-doo, if you want
something fun, like just enjoyable, a quick watch.
You can even watch with the family.
Perfect. But if we're DF, we're, if we're
doing movie, ask movie, yeah, Like, yeah, 665.

(20:49):
Yeah, no. And and like, I don't want to
get it twisted because like thisis great for kids.
It's great. Like my kids loved it.
I like it, you know, And it's a,it's a thing that like you watch
this and then maybe sit down andwatch the cartoon together, you
know, like, it's, it's that gateway because like the
Scooby-doo cartoons, like the old shit, it doesn't look good.

(21:13):
It doesn't look modern. It's, you know, all the hand
drawn shit. And like some kids are going to
tell you like, oh, this is old. I don't want to watch it.
But you can watch a live action movie and then it opens the
door. Yeah.
And it's like it's perfect for that.
I'm almost thinking like I don'tknow if I would want this
though. This is like a set piece like
set in the 70s or the 60s. Oh, like if like if this was set

(21:42):
yeah in the. 60s. It would lose it would, I think
it would lose some of its like universal appeal.
Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I don't, I honestly, I
don't think it would work. That's like surprising to think,
but I don't think it would as a set piece, yeah, I think it does
work like this. Yeah, I think I'd like to see
them try. Yeah, you know that.

(22:03):
'D be cool and then you can get some of those like, you know,
like get some modern actors to portray some of those old
guests. Yeah, like, that'd be, oh, God.
Just trying to think of like comedians who could show up as
like fucking 70s guest stars like.
Oh yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, that'd be so good.

(22:25):
Yeah, that would be that would be.
That would be fun. Yeah.
All right. I think we're ready to move on
to some trivia. All right, let's do the trivia.
How to bother you with trivia? There was a dumb joke, this one

(22:56):
right here that made me laugh. Melvin Do Do.
Is there a Mr. Do here? Melvin do, yeah.
Then they bring it back later. Yeah.
You mean Melvin Do? Yeah, it's dumb.
Fun. It's it's dumb fun.
All it needs to be All right trivia time.

(23:21):
The director, Raja Gosnell, wanted a real life couple to
play Daphne and Fred. I don't know why.
His first choice was Sharon Sarah, Michelle Gellar and
Freddie Prince Junior. Prince Junior didn't originally
want to do the movie because it felt like it wouldn't live up to
the Scooby cartoons, but Geller talked him into it, and he's

(23:41):
right, it doesn't live up to thecartoons.
Yeah, it'd be quite critical though.
He's one of the weak links I. Think yeah.
Yeah, like he does play me like Fred.
Is he? Plays Fred is Fred.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fuck, maybe I'm being too harsh.
I think I just don't like looking at him.
I was when he when he gets possessed and like they run into

(24:04):
him later on. It was fucking hilarious.
It's exactly who he was. I was.
Going to bring that up 'cause he's wearing like a shark stock
tooth necklace. Like yeah yeah, yeah, 2000s as
fuck. Bro the film was originally.
It wasn't in it, I think is Fredset the tone for the modern
Fred. Yeah, yeah, they probably did

(24:25):
play to the movies 'cause this would like reset the fan base.
Kind of everybody was probably familiar with this, so they got
to bring those people into the cartoons.
Yeah, yeah, Sorry, I didn't meanto cut you off.
No, it's fine. It's fine.
I'm just trying to do my job here, man.
Yeah, it's whatever. Fucking douchebag.
Dill Hole. This film was originally set to
have a much darker tone, essentially poking fun at the

(24:47):
older cartoons, and was set for PG13 rating.
Shaggy was said to be a Stoner, Velma and Daphne had a side
relationship, and there were many marijuana references.
According to Sarah Michelle Gellar, after the cast had
signed on, there were changes inthe film became more family
friendly. However, by 2017, James Gunn

(25:10):
confirmed that the original cut of the film got an R rating and
had to use CGI to cover cleavage.
Yes, James Gunn wrote this movie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did not know that until
yesterday. Oh.
No shit. Yeah.
I don't want. Thanks Boots.

(25:30):
Yeah, I don't want a dark version of scooby-doo.
If I want, if I want to get that, I'll go somewhere else.
Like I want my Scooby-doo to to be wholesome.
Yeah, see, like even I wouldn't mind some of the jokes, but
don't have it poke fun at the original.
Like again, you want those people to enjoy it like.
Embrace the original. Yeah, like definitely make.

(25:50):
I mean, there's a couple weed jokes in here that are perfect.
Like a couple more of those I think would because everybody
knew fucking Shaggy was up to like, you know, I.
Don't think we need a couple more like the like two or three
that are in here. Totally fine.
His girl, the girl he's after, his name is Mary Jane.
That's my favorite name, yeah. When they're cooking in the van,
they go, oh, talk about toasted because you see all the smoke

(26:12):
rolling out. OK, that's cool.
We got it. That's enough.
And even like the the Velma and Daphne thing, like I don't want
them to be in a relationship, but like, no, make a couple of
dumb jokes that they're just oblivious to of like, you know
that if you know us in the modern day, we're like, oh,
yeah, yeah, yeah. But them just being like
wholesome, like doofuses, like just don't just gloss over it
you. Know like that's my scooby-doo

(26:37):
needs to be wholesome and that'sit.
Like that's why I didn't get on board with that Velma show.
Like I just like. I can't.
Do it, Let's be honest. Yeah, again, we all got the
subtext, but like, it was never explicit in the show.
So don't make it explicit like in the movie.
Just like just dumb jokes. Like originally, Matthew Willard

(27:01):
would scream for a very long time to make his voice all
hoarse to do the perfect shaggy imitation.
It didn't work out, so he began trying to imitate the voice he
did when his voice was all tiredout from the screaming, which is
a terrible approach. Method I guess.
Yeah, somebody who used to scream in a band all the time,
like you eventually, like, lose parts of your voice.

(27:23):
Yeah, shit just goes away if you're doing that.
But I I appreciate his commitment.
There was an alternate animated opening showing cartoon versions
of the characters, but it was cut for time.
This sequence also featured a rendition of the scooby-doo

(27:43):
Where Are You theme by artist Shaggy, part of which appears in
the final film. That would have been great.
I would have liked that a lot. Like because that's that, then
you're tying it in. Yeah, I really dig Matthew
Sweet's version of the scooby-doo theme song.
He did it for the Saturday morning cartoon's greatest hits
album and I could not find it. It's not available like on

(28:06):
Apple, It's not available on Instagram for like clips.
I wonder if they ran into like licensing issues with it.
Yeah, On Apple Music, there's only like 4 or five songs
available out of the whole album.
Really. Yeah.
So it's probably licensing, right?
Yeah. It's ownership.
Shit, Yeah. Bummer.
Which is a yeah, bummer because that's a fucking great album.
Let's see, Shaggy is a strict vegetarian in this film.

(28:28):
The Casey Kasem, Shaggy's original voice actor insisted
that Shaggy become a vegetarian during production of Scooby-doo
Where Are You in 1969, Though this was not always the case in
various spin offs which I never noticed.
Yeah, 'cause they were, they Scooby-doo was.
Eating fucking sandwiches. Yeah, had the best cartoon
sandwich. That's another joke they missed

(28:49):
in this like. Oh yeah.
They have like a giant fucking sandwich.
My I think I loved watching themlike shuffle shit into a
sandwich. And there'd always be like, like
links of hot dogs and like salami and there's always meat
in there. Like there'd be like a chicken
leg in it, like. But now that I'm thinking about
it like I think Scooby always ate that shit.

(29:09):
You might be. Yeah.
He always ate it before Shaggy did.
You're right. Interesting.
I'll have to go back and really like investigate that.
Like how much meat does Norville?
Shaggy, Rogers? Rogers.
Actually eat the idea of a live action scooby-doo languished in

(29:33):
development health throughout most of the 90s.
In 1996, Jim Carrey was attachedto play Shaggy and Sara Gilbert
was attached to play Velma. At one point, director Kevin
Smith was attached but later dropped out, and then later Mike
Myers accepted the project and was the only one who often had
his name linked to it. Myers friend Jeanine Garofalo

(29:55):
was supposedly tapped by Myers to play Velma, and eventually
even Myers had to leave the project.
Jeanine Garofalo would have beena good Velma.
Yeah, she had the look. Yeah, man, I I don't know that I
would have wanted Jim Carrey as Shaggy.
Yeah, I don't think I would have.

(30:15):
That wouldn't have worked. He.
Doesn't know how to be subtle, Ithink is the problem.
Yeah, yeah. It's with the whole movie would
have been like centered on him just doing goofy shit.
Yeah, yeah. No thank you.
Screenwriter James Gunn revealedthat in the original script,
Velma was explicitly gay, thoughthe studio decided to water it

(30:38):
down to block any references to her sexuality.
Some of them were ambiguous and were kept and shot, but ended up
edited out of the final version of the film.
A kiss between Daphne and Velma was just one of the things cut.
Damn, I'll say it. Yeah, we could have had Sarah

(31:05):
Michelle Gellar and Linda Cardellini kissing.
Yeah, I wouldn't have argued against it.
It's fine. It's fine.
We still got a good movie. Tim Burton was offered to direct
this in the 1990s with the promise of having a complete

(31:25):
creative control, but he would eventually pass on the project,
which, yeah, good, good, good. There's there's just so much
stylistically that Tim Burton would do and to make.
I mean, probably a fine film, but like, just not.

(31:46):
It looks burtony enough as it is, like anymore would have been
over the top. Yeah, I I don't like, I don't
like the Tim Burton version of this.
I don't think full size stand inPuppet of Scooby was built by
Jim Henson's creature Shop for the film, but it ultimately went

(32:08):
unused and Scooby became CG instead.
I would have liked seen a practical Scoob.
Yeah. Thelma liking a guy in the
sequel is the biggest tragedy. Yeah, it's Seth Green.
Oh yeah, that's right. All right, two more.

(32:32):
Two more trivia facts all. Right, all right, this appears
going down slow. What the fuck?
No, Scrappy wasn't supposed to appear in the movie at all, Not
even being ditched by Scooby andthe gang as part of the back
story. Though James Gunn's original
draft does have the US Coast Guard threatened to put Scooby
to sleep with Shaggy, adding like what happened to Scrappy,

(32:56):
the main villain was instead supposed to be Old Man Smithers,
the Luna Ghost from the beginning of the movie living up
to his vow of revenge. This is why the Luna Ghost
Shadow is so prominent in the posters, home releases, and
promo materials, which is the Scooby-doo thing to do.
Yeah, yeah, that would have beenway better.
I did like to look at that ghostin the beginning to that, like

(33:17):
the Luna ghost. Yeah, yeah.
That was really sick. All right, one more trivia fact
here. James Gunn later apologized for
making Scrappy the villain of the film, especially upon
realizing there were actual fansof the character.
Yeah, I remember everybody hating Scrappy.

(33:38):
I didn't. Put like I didn't have like a
sounding board, right. Like I didn't have I watched old
cartoons when new cartoons were on.
Yeah, it's like people I was talking to didn't give a shit.
That is it for trivia, and surprise surprise, we have

(34:01):
someone star ratings. That's right.
Yeah, let's hear them. We're.
Going to do some one star reviews and if you have a name
suggestion for this segment where I go through IMDb, find
one star reviews that are funny and put them in here, Let us
hear it. All right, the title of this

(34:22):
review is Scooby Does not forgetthe Hype.
This movie stinks. It doesn't know which audience
to play for, three-year olds or adults.
It. Stinks.
It stinks. It also doesn't know whether it
should be campy or cartoonish. It's a jumbled mess that only
did well because of the very large and very expensive

(34:44):
marketing. If you want something to keep
the kids busy, spend the money on a new toy and watch the
cartoon. My rating one horrible despite
hype. I think a lot of the box office
cash in that this got was like this was one of the few movies
that had the Harry Potter trailer ahead of it.

(35:07):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so apparently there were
reports of people like buying a ticket to see this movie.
Just to see. Watching the trailer and
leaving. That's like when the when The
Phantom Menace trailer came out,people would do that.
Yeah, yeah, OK. More Doo Doo than Scooby, more

(35:32):
crappy than Scrappy. I love these titles.
The original scooby-doo cartoonswere silly and predictable, but
had a certain charm and color which endeared them to a
generation of kids. No argument there.
Literally no argument. A later series added Scrappy,
who was the most irritating cartoon character before the

(35:53):
intentionally irritating Poochiein The Simpsons.
Scrappy's contribution to the shocker is him pointlessly
urinating on Thelma. Yeah, obviously no one house
trained him. At which point this tiresome
character is dropped out of the Mystery Machine.

(36:16):
They do get he was supposed to be annoying.
Right. Yeah, I guess not.
Yeah, Yeah, he is not. Let's see.
Don't worry, there's plenty moretiresome characters where he
came from. Extremely juvenile comedy with a
lot of knowing postmodern irony topped off with over the top CGI
monsters. The original poorly drawn.

(36:37):
Whoa, whoa. Whoa, back up, motherfucker.
The original was not a poorly drawn cartoon.
Eat my whole ass. The original poorly drawn
cartoon looks positively sublimeand subtle by comparison.
Avoid I I don't like that person, no.
Like no, they suck. Hate this movie.
Yeah, do not disparage my Scooby-doo.

(37:03):
Let's see. The title of this one is I don't
like this film. Not at all.
Lame, Shockingly lame, lame beyond belief, and cynical to
Hollywood at its most exploitiveand greedy.
The original cartoons were no great shakes.
Why? Why is everybody coming for the
fucking king? God damn.

(37:24):
But this? This really lowers the bar for
TV nostalgic actions. And to think that Rowan Atkinson
used to be funny. Jesus, it's harsh.
Fucking piss this dude off. Yeah, Jesus.
Here's here's our last one star review.

(37:44):
MST3K would have a field day. I'm going to ruin the plot here
for you. What am I talking about?
There's no plot. In fact, there's no humor, no
drama, and absolutely no reason for this film's existence except
to drive revenues to the studios.
Bro are you coming to Scooby-doofor drama?

(38:04):
Right. Yeah, right.
From Scrappy Doo urinating all over Daphne to Scooby and Shaggy
having a farting competition. Which we just saw it.
Was fucking awesome, yeah, I chuckled.
I chuckled a lot. It was dumb, but it was funny.
Oh yeah, dog Doo Doo really is funny for four year olds.

(38:26):
Not so they dropped a knot in the old capitals like it's 1986.
This movie is so bad I rated it worse than Manos.
The hands of Fate. No no, which I had to be tied
down to a chair with toothpicks a a fix to my eyes to watch.
Be afraid, be very afraid. Manos is fucking awful.

(38:48):
Yeah, that's a terrible movie. Watch this 1000 times before I
watch Manos again. Snarky motherfucker.
Fucking haters. I like that scene too where they
all pose the the fucking mannequins in the in the
display. Yeah, I mean, that's that's

(39:10):
classic Deuce stuff, you know? It's right out of the cartoon.
All right. Well, I guess we'll move on.
Will we? To the better known as.
All right. I know you.

(39:31):
I know you. I knew I knew you.
I knew, I knew I. You ain't you.
You ain't you. You ain't you.
We will start off with director Raja Gosnell.
This dude seemed to be like the Safe Family movie director for a
while. Yeah, he still has stuff coming
up. I never heard of much.

(39:53):
Yeah, the last like big notable things he did were The Smurfs
and The Smurfs 2 was 2011 and 2013.
Beverly Hills Chihuahua in 2008.Gross.
Yours, mine and ours. I vaguely remember that title.
That's 2005. He did both of the scooby-doo
movies. Monsters Unleashed was in 2004.

(40:18):
Yeah, it was only two years after that.
Fuck, I thought it was a little bit longer.
No. He also directed Martin
Lawrence's Big Mama's House, andhe also directed Never Been
Kissed with Drew Barrymore. His first movie was Home Alone 3
in 1997. He's never been.

(40:42):
He stayed. He stayed like like here's high
level movies. He's just.
Here he's like, yeah, media likethe high mediocre range movies
you've heard of but probably don't like.
Yeah, never been kissed as his highest rated rated one at Six
Point O. Josie Grossie.

(41:04):
Up next, Matthew Lillard, who wehave discussed before.
He was in 13 Ghosts, which is also an awesome movie.
He's in a lot of awesome movies.Yeah, he is in stuff coming up
still the sequel to Five Nights at Freddy's, which I did not
enjoy, as everybody else seems to have.

(41:25):
I didn't see it. It's not not good.
It's not good. He is in the next Scream movie,
so that's probably a spoiler of some sorts.
He is apparently in Daredevil Born again.
Oh. Looks like next season 2026

(41:45):
still doing the voice of Shaggy.He did it in that multiverses
game. Yeah, anytime you see Shaggy,
it's. It's him.
Yeah. Teen Titans Go.
He was Shaggy there. He showed up in that shortly
lived True Lies TV series. Was that as bad as I think it

(42:08):
was it? Was pretty bad.
I did watch it but it was it waspretty horrible.
I don't think I finished it. He was in the Scream reboot a
couple years back 2022 uncredited though.

(42:29):
I mean he's really just known for being Matthew Willard, like
being quirky movie roles. And he was in the Twin Peaks
reboot for 4 episodes. Oh.
Nice. We're going to move on,
actually, because we have covered them before.
Up next we have Freddie Prinze Junior, son of a firearms

(42:51):
enthusiast. Freddie Prinze.
Yes, Matthew Woolard does a bunch of dungeons dragon stuff
on the sides. He has he has a whiskey company.
Isn't that beetle and Bart or whatever?
No, that's the so that's all theD&D accessory stuff that he puts
out for some reason. No, it's hero's quest, I think
is the whiskey. And there's different blends for

(43:13):
different classes. It's all really expensive too.
Yeah, of course, of course. Freddie Prince Junior.
I mean, he's probably most well known for being Fred.
He was in the first two I. Know what you did last summer
was big. Those were pretty big.

(43:34):
Yeah. He was also in that one movie,
like the, like the prototypical 2000s teen movie.
She's all that. Yeah.
He had a bit part in Clerks 3. He's done a bunch of work on
Robot Chicken. He was Kane and Jairus on

(43:56):
Rebels, Star Wars Rebels, which was fucking awesome.
Yeah, he was 70 episodes of that.
Did a voice in, I think a coupleof Dragon Age things.
Yeah, I feel like we've talked about him before for something.
Maybe he did some Mass Effect stuff.
Psych 24. I know for a while, maybe it was

(44:17):
during COVID, he was like filming himself playing board
games, like solo board games andshit.
All right. Yeah, he was in Wing Commander,
which they just did on the last episode of Regrettable Reviews.
Yeah, still have never seen thatfucking movie.
Same here. Yeah, nothing we would have

(44:38):
covered. His first role was in an episode
of Family Matters. Oh, it's tough guy.
Tough guy, yeah. Hey, tough guy.
The fucking horrible CGI on thatmonster.
Yeah, it's really bad. It's really bad.
Yeah, Sarah Michelle Gellar, of course, is most famous as Buffy

(45:01):
Summers. Yeah, role she will be playing
again, I believe, next year. Oh, really?
Yeah, they're doing a reboot series.
Yeah, OK. She was, of course, and the
first I know what you did last summer.
She was in Cruel Intentions. She is currently in the Dexter
prequel series, which was not actually not bad.
It's pretty good. I Jesus, how far did I make it

(45:25):
into the first Dexter? Like three seasons maybe.
Yeah, they. And it was done like.
Out of nowhere, Showtime just decided we're going all in on
Dexter like years after it endedbecause.
Because it was popular as shit. Yeah, they have a prequel series
and a fucking sequel series going at the same time.

(45:45):
She was also a voice. She uploaded books in that
series, wasn't there? Probably, yeah.
Anything else worth mentioning? She was April O'Neil in one of
the TMNT reboots. I think it was the like the CGI

(46:08):
one before the Michael Bay reboots.
Yeah, it was. Yeah.
And it was actually good. Yeah, I do remember it being
pretty, pretty decent. That was that was the that was
the animated one like because ifyou bought like the like box
set, it was 123 and that in a ina sewer shaped like CD binder

(46:37):
all. Right, that's pretty cool.
She was in the first two Grudge movies.
Oh yeah, that's right. The American ones, Yeah.
Yeah. Anything else?
She was in Stone Temple Viola's video for Sour Girl I.
Remember, I remember that and I remember going like, this song

(46:57):
is fucking awful. It was all right, not one of
their best. I was I like I came to, came to
be a big fan of theirs like later on.
Not till I saw them live. When I saw them live, that's
when I was sold. Oh really?
Yeah, they were fucking great live.
Anything else worth mentioning? She is in she's all that as

(47:19):
well. She's a voice in small soldiers
like the BA, the Barbie RIP off.She was in Scream 2 and that's
probably the only last thing worth mentioning.
Burger King commercials when shewas a kid.
Up next, Linda Cardellini, probably most well known

(47:45):
mainstream wise as being Hawkeye's wife in the MCU.
Other than that, I mean Freaks and Geeks.
That was a really, really good show, but tragically it was
cancelled after one season. Yeah, it's like the definition
of a cult show. Yeah, it, it was really fucking
good. It was just announced recently
she's going to be playing PamelaVoorhees in the Crystal Lake

(48:06):
series. I'm still really hesitant about
that. Yeah, I, I don't know, I, I, I
would like something new Friday the 13th and.
Yeah. Her being in it is a sign of
quality, I hope, but it's. Been 12 years.
Yeah. 15 years? Wait a minute.

(48:27):
TJ, what's up? She was banned from McDonald's
for the BK commercials. Oh, TJ says hydrate.
Yeah. When was the Friday?
It was like 2010 I think it wasn't it.
Oh, you know, I think it was 2009 even.
Yeah, it's been a long time I. Think it was 2009?
That sucks. Been 16 years without a new
Friday the 13th movie that's. Unheard of.

(48:49):
That's got to be that. Better be fucking good.
She was a voice in episode of Creature Commandos, which again,
was fucking awesome. I have all six episodes or
episodes issues of the Des Malchin series.
Is that was it just six issue run?
What's that? Just a six issue run.
Yeah, it was a mini series is. It sick.

(49:11):
It was pretty good. Yeah.
I haven't read the last one yet,but I, I accidentally, I because
I thought I'd put them down in order, so I just picked one up
and started reading it. And then like, I just realized I
read them before. Yeah, I wasn't.
Yeah, she is a voice in Guardians of the Galaxy 3IN a

(49:31):
scene that will rip your fuckingheart out.
Go goody. Yeah, yeah.
I mean those movies are good forlike 1.
Like gut wrenching scene per movie at.
Least yeah, yeah Oh yeah, that 1is probably the worst out of
like them all yeah. I don't know that I saw the
third one. It's really good.

(49:52):
Yeah. 7.9 So says IMDb. She was in the Hawkeye series
MCU movies. Curse of Law, Eurona.
That was not good. Yeah.
I wanted that to be at least like a fun horror movie.
It's just like so mid. She was in The Founder, the

(50:13):
McDonald's movie. I immediately had to get
McDonald's after I watched that movie.
Oh yeah, it. Was just like I need a fucking
cheeseburger right now. She was 9 episodes of Mad Men.
I tried watching that and like Ijust never got into it.
Same, I think I got like halfwaythrough the first season.
Maybe I think I got like throughan episode or two and like,

(50:33):
yeah, she is also voiced Velma and like the animated stuff too,
this word. But I know and other stuff.
Lollipop Chainsaw. A lot of people who work with
James Gunn have been in like theLollipop Chainsaw game.

(50:54):
I wonder if he had something to do with that then.
He wrote it. Well, that would do it, yeah.
Oh, kill the Irishman. Have you watched that yet?
You probably haven't, right? No, no, I do want to see that
that it keeps popping up like. Dude, it's fucking sick.
All right, I'll check it out. Yeah, well worth your time.
Fred with the fucking necklace. Oh God, keeping it real.
Oh, the. Fucking purple aviators.

(51:21):
She was in Grandma's Boy, which is a fucking great movie.
I. Started watching that the other
night. It was on TVI was watching it.
Yeah, fuck you guys. Sorry I came on your mom.
Somebody's ass getting laid tonight.

(51:46):
Thinking about getting metal legs?
It's a fucking good movie. Oh Lara Croft, you dirty
adventurer. She's Legally Blonde as well.

(52:06):
She was in 4 episodes of Boy Meets World.
Oh wow, she was in a couple of like Kanan and Cal thing.
She was in like Good Burger. She was in the TV show it looks
like. Oh hell yeah, strange land.
I love that movie. The Dee Snyder like movie, Yeah,
Yeah, You seen it? I have.
Yeah. It's been a long time, but I
have seen. It I will recommend that to
anybody who is watching this watch Strange Land.

(52:30):
Right. It's Dee Snyder just being
unhinged and writing a weirdo detective movie.
Like, all right, it's just fucking good.
Up next we have Rowan Atkinson, comedy legend.
He has been playing Mr. Bean I think for like 35 years.

(52:54):
Got more than that? It might be more than that.
I was looking in the fucking credits and like they start
around 90 or 91, but that really.
Yeah, I thought. I thought for sure it was in
the. I guess I could have sworn it
was. 80s a. Shit, when I was in the 4th
grade and that was 1988, Yeah. So I don't know, maybe we'll

(53:15):
stand corrected if I go through it again here, but there's
apparently another Johnny English movie coming out.
Why? Yeah.
Who's watching? Who watched?
Three of them. I didn't know there was a third
one. They're doing another Mr. Bean.
It looks like TV series Old bean.
This blew my mind. There's apparently been a Mr.

(53:36):
Bean animated series for the past 23 years.
Yeah, 132 episodes. Oh, I didn't know that Mister
Bean did more than like make noises and laugh like Mr. Bean
doesn't have dialogue, right? I think like, if I remember

(54:00):
correctly, when he did, it was like an exaggerated, like weird,
like weird voice, like somethinglike that.
Yeah, yeah, he was in that fucking Wonka movie where the
word bussy gets used in a. Children's song, right?
Yeah, yeah. No, it wasn't a song.
It was just like in a fucking inin dialogue.

(54:23):
Somebody says Bussies in a children's movie.
They're talking about the gas station, yeah.
Yeah, he goes to Nuggets. Aside from being Mr. Bean.
I mean, he shows up in a lot of things like here and there.
Yeah, the fucking crazy part is like he'll show up in something

(54:48):
and then everybody just goes, oh, Mr. Bean.
Yeah, yeah, he was Mondavarius in this.
I think rat race might have beenthe first thing I saw him in
that he wasn't Mr. Bean. Yeah, I worked at the movies
when that came out, being the movie was 97.

(55:13):
Mr. Bean, The TV Series, 1990 through 95.
That's so. Weird.
So yeah, maybe it was 90 I. Think yeah, but 4th grade was.
But I wonder if there was. I wonder if there was like
shorts and things before that. Probably well on scene being
wait why is that 95? Because you're 96 and then just
Scroll down. Hotshots part due.

(55:35):
I forgot he's in that. He's what's her name's husband,
Valeria Galino Renata. That's her character's name.
Mr. Bean 199191. Well. 1990. 1990 now, so if you

(56:03):
see Mr. Bean beyond that, you know.
I think it's honestly it's 1990.I could have sworn it was
earlier than that. God damn, a lot of Black Adder.
Yeah, he was in all like all theBlack Adder stuff in the 80s.
Anything into the 90s. Anything else worth mentioning?

(56:24):
Probably not, because. We're pretty far.
Seriously fucking doubt it. Yeah, moving on.
Isla Fisher plays Mary Jane in this.
She's most well known as probably being Sacha Baron
Cohen's wife. I can't think of any.
I mean like she was in Wedding Crashers, which was pretty big.
Yeah. Oh, she was like the crazy one,

(56:45):
right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The one that Vince Vaughn hooks up with.
Other than that, she was in the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
She was in the lesser season of Arrested Development, the 4th
one I'm. Sorry Tji didn't know that he
was black at her. I've never seen it.

Yeah, same here. Laura Clara Croft exploring The
Cave of Wonders. What?

I remember the second one sucking.

(57:26):
Rise of the Guardians. She was Tooth.
OK, she was in the. Movies dope.
Remake in 2013? I never saw that one.
You didn't see Rise of the Guardians?
Oh, that's one with all. Like the like the holiday like.
Santa Claus. Easter Bunny.
Easter Berry, Sandman, That was pretty good.
So good. Alec Baldwin is fucking gnarly
jacked Santa. She was a voice in Rango.

(57:51):
Which was amazing. Birkin Hair.
She's in Hot rod. That was 2007.
Jesus. Refused to watch that I don't
like Andy Samberg. I I'm kind of in the same boat.
I do remember laughing at that movie on the defenestration area
the other night. Tom, like, vehemently defended
that movie. Hot Rod.
Yeah, yeah. Why?

(58:14):
We mentioned wedding crashers. He was also in some Fry and
Laurie stuff too it looks like. Let's see.
I think their show was called A Little Bit of Fry and Laurie.
I think so, yeah. She was in Beastmaster.

(58:37):
Oh hell yeah. The series.
Oh hell no. I think we're going to move on.
Yeah, we're done. Anyway, up next, Miguel A Nunez,
who we've covered before becausehe is in a fucking horror
classic, He's Spider in Return of the Living Dead.

(59:01):

twice. And I think he was in, he was
Joanna man. He was Joanna, man.
Yeah, was he? And Jason takes Manhattan.
No, no, no, no, no. He wasn't.
I don't know. Not Jason takes Manhattan.
It was part 4, Part 4, Part 4. Yeah.

(59:26):
Also I was. Going through God damn

pancakes. Oh fuck yeah.
Yeah. You guys want to go to the
Griddle House? I will.
Never answer that with a no. Yeah, yeah.
They, they're making that bacon again, right?
Yeah, they are. Yeah, we're in.

Yeah, we mentioned. We talked about them twice
already. Yeah, so we're moving on.
Up next, Steven Gryves ain't theonly reason I saved him for two
reasons. He was in Goo Tuana.
He actually. He was the red herring villain
in this. Who ended up not being the

(01:00:10):
villain. He was the guy.
Like, yeah. He was involved.
Yeah, yeah. He just wasn't the head honcho.
Yeah, he was in Highlander 2, The Quickening, and he was also
in A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Dream Child.
Glance over the third Crocodile Dundee movie.
I plan to, yeah. Yeah.
He was the Evil Baron and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles.

(01:00:34):
I also worked in the theatre when that was out.
I'm shocked that that hit theaters.
Yeah, I can. Can confirm it did.
It was there for like 2 weeks maybe.
Yeah, actually, no. It was there for a while and it
just played in the small theaterfor like a couple of weeks.
Right. And then what was it?

(01:00:55):
Son of Crocodile Dundee was the.4th one, no, I think that was
there. Was the kid in the third one I
think. Oh OK, he was in the Wizard too
in 1989. Hell yeah with Fred Savage.
That was the movie that introduced the world to Mario
Brothers 3. That's the movie that introduced
the world to the art of taking advantage of your brother's

(01:01:16):
handicapped. Of your autistic brother, yeah.
That and Rain Man. Yeah, which one came first?
The Rain Man I think was 88 and the Wizard was 89.
It's just the wizard, but the the wizard.
Just Rain Man with Nintendo. Yeah, it is.
Instead of fucking cards. Yeah.

(01:01:37):
Holy shit. I just realized that we learned
something today. Nintendo Power Glove.
Yeah, I had that piece of shit. Half the buttons didn't fucking
work on it. It didn't work.
All right, We're going to move on from there up next.

(01:01:58):
Mark McGrath. He was in Sugar Ray.
We're moving right along. Oh, shit.
Yeah. I always say Andrew.
I saw. I noticed him.
He's The Cave thug, like the bigdude in The Cave.
I'm like, holy shit. It was Andrew Bernarski who
played Leatherface in the Leatherface movie we watched
last week. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is

(01:02:20):
what I meant to say. I would have interviewed him at
Saratoga last year. Yeah, he was a bummer.
Yeah, and I'll do it for the better known as place at the
table. We're in to the crapshoot.

(01:02:40):
Very purple tonight. Oh yeah, that is very purple.
That's fine. I didn't notice that until just
now. Like I said, the lights were
acting up this week. If you used it right, it was
like Zelda was giving you a handy Good Lord.

(01:03:06):
I don't know that that's using it right because it goes on your
left hand. Yeah, yeah.
Because I always have to play I I never ended up using the hand
things within the work. So I just used the controller
like the D pad that was on. It Yeah, there was no way you
were playing Cruise in USA like this.
It didn't do that. Blame you caught up on

(01:03:29):
Daredevil. I am, yeah.
Holy shit that show is so good. Yeah, I I do love that show,
man. I like I am genuinely glad that
there's not a shit load of Daredevil in it.
Like I love the the Matt Murdockcharacter.

(01:03:52):
Yeah, yeah, they're, yeah. They're really like exploring
Matt Murdock as opposed to just having, you know, throwing
Daredevil at you. Which is great because like they
would do that in the comics fromtime to time.
Like you would get just like Matt Murdock's whole life is a
fucking tragedy. Let me show you how.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The dude cannot get out of his
own way. Yeah.
I think like next week is the finale already.

(01:04:16):
I think that we're going to do all the episodes like just in a
row. Yeah.
It'd be nice. Apparently season 2 is not
coming till next year. I hate that.
Yeah, that fucking blows. I think they're all shot
already. Like, what's the fucking hold up
anyway? But yeah, I know I am.
I am loving that show, man. Yeah, what else?

(01:04:39):
Matlock. I am caught up on Matlock I.
Think I have. Real good.
I think I have yesterday. Like when does that come out?
Last week's episode I think to watch.
OK, yeah, watch them both. Yeah, there's there's it came
back like 2 weeks ago. There's just there's two
episodes out now. OK, I might, I might have seen
both of them then. There was a big thing at the end
of the 1-2 weeks ago. If you if you had seen it, you

(01:05:01):
would know. What was something else that
happened in that episode? Because I'm pretty sure.
Did Johnson file the Johnson case?
They, they, I remember them talking about it that was with
because they thought that that'swhat she was using to get into
the DA's office. Yes.

(01:05:23):
All right. So you did see the newest one?
Yeah. Fake.
Yeah. OK, so it sounds like you are
caught up. I didn't want to drop that
spoiler if you weren't. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
no, Yeah. This week's pretty good because
it picks up right after that. OK, I have Monique and I have

(01:05:43):
been watching a preposterous amount of love after lock up.
Like ex cons finding love. It's people in prison and so
like there's people on the outside and they they go to
these like date and inmate Oh mykind of websites and shit.

(01:06:07):
And then they like build these relationships.
So the show will introduce like the person on the outside and
then we'll talk about like how they met the person on the
inside and then like them getting out of prison and
starting their their romantic lives.
Together, AKA when shit starts to go bad.
I have never. I have never seen so much

(01:06:33):
variety of trash in one place. A buffet of trash.
Is amazing I swear. Like if you are into just
garbage reality TV, yeah watch Love after lock up.

(01:06:53):
Right. Oh, you're going to have to
check this out. Oh my God it's on AMC plus.
All right, I do have that. Oh, they released a preview this
week for Strange New Worlds. It's coming back.
I think it just said Summer didn't give us a date yet.
Oh, really? Fuck.
I can't wait for that show. It is very warm.

(01:07:14):
Yeah. The stank of desperation.
It's palpable. What I call CPAC meet and greet.
I love it. It's just all right, so
ridiculous, all right, Like we're just, we're sitting on the

(01:07:38):
couch going. I read the newest absolute DC
comic book this week, Absolute Green Lantern.
Fuck yeah man, on that one. The only one that really hasn't
blown my mind was The Flash. Like I really like that one.

(01:07:59):
Kind of like underwhelmed me, but hopefully it gets better.
I really, I mentioned I really, really like the Martian
Manhunter one. That one's fucking really good.
I read anything else? Read more of the Artie Lang
book, which is heartbreaking andhilarious at the same time.
Yeah, I mean, that pretty much explains his whole life.

(01:08:20):
Yeah, yeah, he the the chapter Ijust read, he's talking about
going the first time he ever went to the Playboy Mansion.
Like he he performed there that night.
And it is just like he's talkingabout how like this is the worst
night of my life while also crossing off like a major like

(01:08:41):
thing I've always wanted to do in my life.
Like it could not have gone worse.
Like he talks about like how he bombs on stage to get over
bombing. He oh, while he was on stage
bombing, he splits his pants. So he's now like trying to hide
the fact that his ass is just out at this party at the Playboy

(01:09:03):
Mansion. His assistant like ends up like
going off and getting high with Sarah Silverman and he's like
completely useless for the rest of the fucking night.
So he's he needs him to get pants and he can't do that.
He needs him to get a drink. Like he fucks that up.
Like it's just fucking like one thing after another.
He ends up getting a bunch of pills, goes to a porta potty to

(01:09:30):
do them. He gets like a bag of Percocet.
So he has like 15 percocet he said.
Tries to eat all 15, ends up throwing.
Up What the fuck? That's a lot of Percocet.
Yeah, throws up the Percocet, sees that he has thrown up the
Percocet, picks the Percocet outof the puke.
Like, does some of them put someof them into a bag for later?

(01:09:54):
Like it is just the fucking mosthorrifying story, but like it's
just, and he's also, but like I'm playing the Playboy mansion.
Like I'm finally at the Playboy mansion.
Like he talks about how like youknow, they the whole time.
Like he's like, you know what he's expecting.
Like he just he's like, I know all these stories from like the
70s and like James Caan banging all these playmates like all

(01:10:16):
over the grotto. Like he's like, I'm thinking I'm
going to have sex on the grotto tonight.
Fucking. He's like, you know, they, they
get there like he's like apparently like if you want
playmates there, it's bring yourown playmate because there's
like none there. He goes later on in the night.
He's like, I'm told, like, you know, don't worry, like, you

(01:10:37):
know, we've got girls coming later on.
Like it'll be fine. There'll be a bunch of girls
later on. He goes, I kid you not.
He's like the filthiest, like crack whores.
They could find like 40 of the filthiest crack whores all show
up and he's like, he's just talking about how like, you
know, again, he's like, I've allin my whole life, like I've
wanted to play the Playboy Mansion.

(01:10:58):
And now I'm sitting next to the grotto watching like a $20
hooker blow three jerk off executives like by the pool.
Like, yeah, it's fucking, it's awild buck, but I I really love
it. Oh, man, what the fuck else?
I almost started watching the pit.
I really want to watch that. Yeah, you do.

(01:11:18):
You really do. I.
Don't tear your fucking heart out.
Apparently I it was written as asequel to ER, but they couldn't
get the Crichton family to clear, you know, give them the
rights to it. Oh, really?
So they just, like, changed, like, a few details and, like,
it's still the same show. Yeah.
So they're getting sued over it now.
Yeah. Oh, really?

(01:11:39):
Yeah. Yeah.
No, they literally it's all theydid was just change it from
Chicago to Pittsburgh and like change Noah Wiley's name.
Other than that, it's just a hospital drama.
This is what ER was. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But so is General Hospital, but I don't, I don't think
anything's going to come of thatbecause like none of their like

(01:12:03):
property is is in there. Yeah, yeah.
It's just a a show about people working in a hospital.
Yeah. But I keep hearing nothing but
like amazing fucking it's. So good, It's so good.
Yeah, no, I'll definitely start checking that out.
Yep. We went to the movies yesterday.

(01:12:23):
We saw it drop. I don't know what that.
Is yeah, yeah, it's a like, it'sa, it was supposed to be like a
suspense, like thriller. This chick is on a date and like
somebody's air dropping her, like, you know, they're in her
house, like they're threatening her kid, like she has to poison
her date. Like at one point, like, yeah,
it looked, it looked OK. Like I wasn't expecting much.

(01:12:44):
Amanda wanted to see it in the, you know, from the previews.
I don't know how you fucking have a a thriller without any
thrills or like suspense, like it's just fucking blanded and
boring. Yeah, yeah.
So that was kind of a let down. Sinners is coming out this week
though. I really want to see that.
That's getting amazing reviews. Which one is that?

(01:13:05):
That's that fucking like vampire, like southern vampire
movie. Yeah, yeah.
Michael B Jordan. Yes, yeah.
All caught up on gemstones. Yes, last.
Week's episode, it's just like nothing happened.
I'm even trying to think of likewhat the fuck happened?
Or not last weeks, but yesterday's episode.

(01:13:25):
Was this week the lake one? No.
Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was.
Michael Rooker was in it. Oh, I haven't watched it yet.
That's right, it is from last night.
OK, yeah, that's why I'm gonna watch that, Michael.
Rooker is in it. All right, that's a bummer.
I mean, not that he's in it. That's a, it's a, it's a
fucking, it's like a filler episode.
Yeah, it's it's because it's probably just to introduce his

(01:13:47):
character. I do love Michael Rucker.
I do too. Yeah.
The they have a really great wayof introducing like 1 new
character every season. Yeah, and it's usually pretty
fucking dynamite. Yeah.
You know, like the the shit theydid with Eric.
Roberts Yeah. So good.
Yep. Daddy.

(01:14:11):
Oh man, I'm trying to think of anything else.
I went to the well, me and Monique went to the Saratoga.
Tattoo. Oh, I saw that.
You got to. Yeah, you got to tattoo.
Yeah, it's. Pretty fucking dope.
Under this forbidden fucking Capri Sun.
What the fuck is that? So this is like a second skin.

(01:14:34):
All right. What the hell they call it?
It's just basically a big clear bandage.
Tegaderm. Tachaderm.
Thank you, Tachaderm. And so all of the like ink that
comes out, all the plasma and shit, it's just like trapped in
there and leave this on for like4 or five days to let it just

(01:14:55):
like heal on its own. You don't have to worry about
it. It's really nice, but it
collects all the shit that comesout of your arm.
But but yeah, so under that big sack of ink and plasma is a
Xenomorph in the classic pose ofa sick ass.
Panther I I noticed that with the claws.

(01:15:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I did notice that.
Yeah. The tattoo.
Panther. Yeah, that is pretty dope.
I see that picture you sent was awesome.
Yeah, I'm, I'm real happy with that.
And she got the little liquid luck potion from Harry Potter on
the back of her arm right here. Nice, thanks for pushing it on

(01:15:37):
Facebook. Yeah, it came out really fucking
nice too. Cool.
Like the guy that did that for like a fantastic job.
Oh, they announced today for Tampa Bay, Jonathan Rees Davies.
Nice. Yeah, yeah.
That, that, that could be awesome.

(01:15:57):
Yeah. I, I, I hope they trust me with
a big interview like that, but we'll see.
Oh, you haven't gotten word on what you're doing yet?
No, no, I won't find out till like August.
Oh shit. Or.
Probably July, actually, becausethat's the first weekend of
August. Yeah, I got not much else.
I, oh Last of Us, came back lastnight.

(01:16:21):
Yeah, Monique's really excited about that.
I still haven't seen any of it's.
Really fucking good. It's.
What I always hear. Sad and depressing.
The thing was like, I had never played the game, so I was like,
I wasn't invested in the world or anything like that.
And then like by the time everybody was like, it doesn't.
Matter, yeah, you don't really show it's good enough on its.
Own I was already like beyond thinking about it.

(01:16:43):
Yeah, I played the first game. So like, yeah, it was kind of
like I, I had a vague, the remembrance of like, yeah, the
framework. I didn't play the second one.
So now I'm completely in the dark.
It's sort of like a Silent Hillykind of thing, right?
It is like the anti Resident Evil where like, you know,
Resident Evil, you're just constantly bullet.

(01:17:04):
It's what Resident Evil used to be where you have like limited
ammo and like, you kind of had to like, think your way around
survival or yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not like, you know, just a constant, like blowing zombies
away, like type of game. So yeah.
I didn't play the second one, soI don't know the I know
spoilers, Joel dies at some point.

(01:17:26):
So I'm assuming that'll be this season finale.
We'll see. We'll see.
We will. Well, you will.
Maybe I'll watch it. I don't know, like depends
what's going on. Like if she wants to re watch
it, I'll watch it. But yeah, I think that's it.

(01:17:46):
Like it was pretty pretty full crapshoot.
Yeah, yeah. If you didn't watch our Drunk
and Disorderly the other night, check it out.
Oh yeah, it was very drunk and very disorderly, was it?
Yeah, yeah, I didn't catch. It we went to Junior's first and
had some drinks and some food there and then came back here

(01:18:08):
and attacked the beer fridge. You did shots at one point.
Oh Lord, yeah, yeah, that would that explain this?
Yes it would. Yes it would.
And this. Yep.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They were almost empty to begin
with, to be fair. Yeah.
That's fine. Yeah, that's where those came
from. Wild Turkey One O 1 Highly

(01:18:30):
recommended. Woodford Reserve.
Also highly recommended, but I like Wild Turkey better.
Should be a surprise to no one. And very funny.
Thank you, Boots. Yeah, we were trashed.
Yeah. I was and everybody else.

(01:18:52):

Yeah. All right.
Well, a couple of weeks you're going to be able to catch us at
Saratoga Comic Con. That's right.
They were full. Not almost not empty.
No, they were not bullshit. That wild Turkey was like half.

(01:19:14):

There wasn't much in the Woodford Reserve.
Yeah, yeah. Saratoga Comic Con is like in
just under 3 weeks, which is. Yeah, I got to do research.
Yeah. Same here.
Same here. Nick and I are going to be
hosting the Red Dead Redemption Voice Actors panel.

(01:19:36):
I'm really excited and really nervous about that at the same
time. I know it'll be fine because we
can just pull shit off, which iswhat we do, but that's big for
me. Yeah, Yeah.
No, it's going to be awesome. I it's going to be a really
good, yeah. I'm really excited.
