What if a microwaved cup of coffee could bring a killer snowman back to life? The Dumb Cool Weird Podcast kicks off the holiday season with an outrageous and hilarious review of the Jack Frost sequel that nobody asked for. This absurd flick has us in stitches as we explore its baffling choices, from its low-budget production quirks to bizarre plot twists involving cannibalistic snowball offspring and a snowman with a weakness for banana daiquiris. We chuckle our way through the absurdity of a movie that tries to combine horror with humor in the most bewildering ways, leaving us to ponder its existence alongside entertainingly bad classics like "Phantasm" and "King Kung Fu."
Join us for a fun-filled breakdown of a sequel that takes absurdity to a new level, complete with oddball characters and a narrative that defies logic at every turn. From a Snowminton International Airport that resembles a bus stop to the unexpected role of a Japanese beer company, this film’s bewildering elements offer plenty of fodder for laughs. We promise a better Christmas movie for next week, but for now, enjoy the madcap ride with us as we explore what’s dumb, cool, and weird in the world of cinema—all in just 20 minutes or less.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Dumb Cool Weird Podcast.
Welcome to the Dumb Cool WeirdPodcast.
It is the month of December, soyou know what that means.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We're watching our first set of Christmas movies
already.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Boy, do we have a special treat for you today?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Special, like the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah, so last year we watched a little movie called
Jack Frost and we decided towatch the sequel this year and
I'm going to tell you right nowthey should have just stopped
Olympics.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah, so we, you know , last year we watched a little
movie called Jack Frost and wedecided to watch the sequel this
year and I'm going to tell youright now they should have just
stopped.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah, they should have just not even bothered with
this one.
You know, all we can reallyfigure is that this Japanese
company that sells beer, what'sthe name of the beer company?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
It's Asahi Beer.
So I'm pretty sure whathappened was the Asahi Beer
Company wanted to make a reallyelaborate Christmas-themed
commercial and they were like,oh yes, we like Japanese movies
to have a little bit of horror.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
This will be a grand, big, grand commercial and they
really forced everybody in theAmerican production to say they
wanted all those people to comeback and yeah, cause I pretty
sure they just came across themovie and they were like, yeah,
this is how we're going to makethis a commercial work and we're
(01:12):
going to use this intellectualproperty.
But the reality is, is thedirector and all the actors are
probably like, yeah, thisdoesn't need a sequel, and they
were like, oh, we'll pay youmoney.
And they're like, all right,we'll do it.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Look, Jack O'Frost really liked the Asahi beer.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, they actually had a scene in the movie where
he was sitting there.
He's like oh, I like what didhe say?
Something about the beer.
I think I should have a coldone.
Yep, yeah, they were reallypushing the beer in this movie.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And that's how you can tell this is obviously a
product placement.
Just one day, oh, and then wehad that one.
We had that one naked Japanesegirl die in the swimming pool
before she, just you know, hedecided to have a beer?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yep.
The only naked girl in theentire movie just happened to be
a Japanese girl, so it can't bea coincidence.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
No, there's no such thing as coincidences, it's just
a Japanese beer and shitty ice.
Monster movie.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
And then at the end of the movie, the people who
probably funded the movie hadtheir cameo.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, that was really odd because they dubbed over
them.
They could have at least keptit Japanese and then put some
subtitles under there.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, that would have been funny.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
They were killed by a giant carrot.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yep giant carrot, which made absolutely no sense.
This whole movie is definitelyself-aware.
I will say that that was great.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
That was the great part about it.
I mean, it's right in betweenPhantasm and what was that other
shitty movie we had to watchthat?
I keep trying not to referenceKing Kung Fu.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
King, kung Fu, yeah King.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Kung Fu is bad.
King Kung Fu is bad, Liketotally bad.
This is the middle ground ofbad movies.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
No, and.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Phantasm is fun bad.
Yeah, so basically the wholestory is they're in the small
town again, these guys who arewe don't even know where they
came from it looks like evilEast German doctor and guy who
plays Saddam Hussein for aChristmas special showed up.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
They basically dig up the antifreeze and for some
fucking reason whatever reasonthey decided to try to resurrect
Jack Frost.
I think it's never reallyexplained.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I just want you to understand that microwaved
coffee is actually what got JackFrost to come back to life.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, I'm guessing it was because there was a little
bit of water in it.
That's the only explanation Igot.
And then he chopped the guy'sfucking face off, like through
his mouth.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, he shot a giant piece of glass and cut him in
half.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yep, and then you know, it turns out that the town
is laughing at the sheriff,even though the sheriff saved
the town.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So him and his wife.
It's only been a year.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, it's only been a year.
So you know, they decide to goon a trip to you know, to the
Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
But let's go back to this.
All right, he saved the town,which mostly gets murdered by
this giant murder monster,snowman yep.
They saw him kill this snowman.
They helped him bury thesnowman yep.
And now they're making fun ofhim a year later because he has
ptsd from killing said mutantsnowman yep, pretty much, and
(04:21):
it's.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It's bad because even his wife and his two friends
from the previous movie areliterally gaslighting him.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
That's his brother and his brother's wife.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, imagine that.
I don't even know if they werein the previous movie.
I'm just guessing.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
That could have been other actors.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah.
But they're all gaslighting himLike, oh, he's not coming back
the entire movie.
This guy's like I can sense him.
And then they're all like, ohno, you're hallucinating.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
This isn't happening at all.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yeah, and they're making fun of him the whole time
.
You could definitely tell thebudget was really low, because
in the beginning of the moviethey're supposedly getting on a
plane and going somewhere, andwhen they're doing that, they're
at the Snowminton InternationalAirport.
Which you know, it's more likea bus stop, and I've never been
to the Snowman InternationalAirport, but I gotta tell you
(05:12):
that didn't look like an airportat all.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
It was a bus stop.
Yeah, A very good bus stopmaybe.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, and let's talk about the fact that.
Let's talk about the fact that,sorry, my cat's like being a
bitch.
Stop Percy.
Yeah, there she goes.
Aaron gets pets.
Yeah, so I will Meow.
My cat's trying to eat likestuff off my countertop and she
knows she's not going to be upthere.
I'm going to give it to herwhen she gets.
When we get off this fuckingpodcast, she's going to get the
(05:43):
spray bottle, um, but basicallywhat ends up happening is me and
nick are trying to figure outhow the fuck did he know how I
mean, they even brought it up inthe movie like it's 2300 miles
away from where they were andhow the fuck did he know how to
get there?
And supposedly he came in thewater also he can't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
That's too warm.
Yeah, he hates it because it'swarm.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So why is he in tropical water?
That was established in theother movie.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, he hates the heat he melts.
Yeah, he gets affected bywarmth.
Still so now it's like why ishe traveling through the ocean
in tropical conditions?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Not to mention he can automatically just make it snow
.
I didn't know he's like Stormfrom X-Men.
I didn't know he's like Stormfrom X-Men.
I didn't know he could controlthe weather.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
The only thing that I can think of is because the
Pacific Ocean is cold and I'mnow trying to use science and
I'm realizing that's retarded.
So don't use science.
It doesn't make sense, becausehe could have just snowboarded
his way right across and gotthere.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
And not to mention, in the beginning of the movie
the stereotype fucking bus landsand all the stereotypes get off
the fucking bus.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Oh yeah, Right out of the island.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
The three girls that die in every fucking movie.
They get off first, so we knowthey're gonna die first the 50
year old porn star yep with thegay asian guy and the asian girl
who died.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Okay, so first off there was the blonde girl who
was pretty much in every 90s lowbudget movie, and then there
was the asian girl with the fakeboobs in every low budget movie
that dies pretty much.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, that was it, that was it Pretty much.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I mean, that's literally it.
Then you had the sheriff, hiswife and his brother and his
wife.
Then we had a bunch of extrastoo.
That's literally the entirecast.
We also have the Jamaican guywho makes the drinks, the.
British colonel, the Britishcolonel that thinks it's
Victorian England or something.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, I couldn't honestly pick which war he was
trying to talk about, becausethat was not matching up.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Oh, and don't forget about Captain Fun.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, captain, fun that kid was.
We wanted him to die muchearlier in the film.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, he's one of the last ones to die.
That sucks.
You know ones to die.
That sucks.
You know, I really kind ofwanted the colonel and the
jamaican kid to live yeah, it'skind of a, it's kind of sad that
they didn't.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Oh and uh, manners, agent manners came back, yeah
had an eye patch.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
He was the security of the island somehow more
handsome, this movie yeah,everybody's commenting on that.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I guess he lost weight or something, I don't
know he just, I guess his face,his facial reconstruction
actually paid off.
He didn't get a liposuction,though.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Well, you know, it's a pretty simple plot.
Once you get to the island,literally, Jack just starts
picking people off one by one.
He uses very elaborate things.
It kind of starts off kind oflike Looney Tunes.
He turns into an anvil andfalls on a girl, crushes her.
Her little body parts areeverywhere.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And then when the other friend catches her, like,
finds out where the body is, shesteps on an icicle and then
falls back into a bed of icicles.
Yeah, it actually kind of hurtme just looking at it.
And then the blonde girl whowas in every 90s movie she gets
stabbed in the face with sometongs and her eyes are ripped
out.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, pretty much, and that's basically what Jack
does.
He just goes on a killing spreelittle by little, and you know
the Colonel keeps saying, ohsharks, coconut sharks did it.
And he's trying to pass it off.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
He's really trying to Disney this Yep Like, because
you know when you go toDisneyland and you die they just
take you off of the park.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Uh, disney, please don't kill me.
Yeah, exactly.
And so what ends up going on isuh, you know, jack frost goes
around and starts killing peopleand then, finally, he's just
like, after killing the asiangirl, after cooling off the pool
, he's like you know what, let'sliven this place up.
And he like starts making itsnow.
And that's when we realize thatit's kind of weird that he's
able to do storm.
Yep, he also kills the50-year-old porn star.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
She eats a piece of ice that he has turned into, and
then he blows up her head.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Blows up her head, and then he kills the other guy,
the Asian guy, the.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Asian guy gets a much slower death.
Yep.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
And then, finally, we get to the point where they're
still trying to gaslight thesheriff.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
After they see Jack Frost kill multiple people in a
snowball fight.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
by the way, Yep, like he's knocking people's arms off
.
He's sending like ice spearsthrough people's faces and then
the other lady's like, oh youknow, it can't be Jack Frost.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You're just not fun anymore, sam, yeah Right.
Fun anymore, sam, yeah right.
I love, though, when they wereplaying, when he's like
traveling with Antifreeze, kulkand all the other stuff that
they beat him with in the firstmovie.
He's like Joe, don't you thinkyou're a little paranoid?
And it's like, yeah, aren't youa little happy that he's
paranoid at this moment?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, because they do like, they take the extra
precautions.
They try to bury themselves inthere.
And then Jack and um the FBIagent ex FBI agent go out, try
to get them.
And then it turns out, um, jacklike finds them, uh, and they.
They get trapped inside thekitchen.
But then they come up with theidea Ooh, let's turn this
fountain into antifreeze.
(10:48):
And so they set up a littletrap, cool it.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
They gave him one of those old punji stick pits kind
of ideas.
They trapped him in there.
He got in, he started to burn.
They thought oh shit, we won.
And then told Wes, please pausethe movie right now.
We just got to know how muchmore stupid shit we got to watch
30 minutes 30 more minutesafter that and yeah, oh, he
gives birth by vomiting out hischildren.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah, so he survives the antifreeze because
apparently he's immune to it nowand then he starts vomiting
like snowballs that are his kids.
And this is when the movie justgoes I mean, batshit crazy.
I mean, listen to what I'msaying, look at me.
This is when the movie gets offthe fucking rails and gets
unhinged.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Seriously, Sergeant Manners goes on a manhunt to
find Jack Frost and, well youknow, Captain Fun gets killed by
one of the snowball childrenand they decide to warn him it's
too late.
It's too late, they eat him.
Oh yeah, by the way, thesnowballs are cannibals too.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
They eat people and they love beer.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Oh yeah, by the way, the snowballs are cannibals too.
Yeah, they eat people, they eathuman flesh and they love beer.
Yeah, asahi beer, drink it.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Snowballs do Asahi beer when you're having a bad
day with cannibal snowballs?
Just remember that a nice,refreshing Asahi beer will
always keep you happy.
Yeah, and so basically, thesheriff checks out.
He just checks out.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, he kind of went all Looney Tunes in the head
right there and then his wifetakes over the reins and then
you know they're going on their.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
they're basically trying to catch all these
snowballs and they're not havingluck.
And then she fucking justrandomly finds out that
apparently they blow up when youhit them with some fucking
banana daiquiri.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, apparently Jack Frost in the first movie.
His blood got like a samsheriff.
Sam's blood gets mixed insideof the antifreeze with him.
So I'm apparently they'reconnected, they're blood bonded
somehow yep and make sense ofthat now he's allergic to
bananas.
That's his weakness.
It's bananas.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It's bananas is his weakness.
It's really bizarre.
And so, basically, they go on afucking killing spree, killing
all the fucking, it's like awhole montage.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, they go on a montage, just like pouring
banana juice all over these poorlittle snowballs, these poor
cannibal snowballs, and theyjust explode everywhere and Jack
gets upset because he finds oneof his half-dead snowball kids
and my boy.
You massacred my boy.
Look at how they massacred myboy.
But you know, what was funny,though, is when they didn't know
what to do, when the colonelwas in the woods alone and he
(13:26):
played one of those.
Oh clever, yeah, clever girl,clever girl.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
They really referenced Jurassic Park a
little bit here in this movieafter they massacre all these
snowballs, Jack comes back andhe just fucking fucks everybody
up.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, he kills the Jamaican guy and the British guy
, which was sad, Uh.
He tries to kill Max, sorry,Sam's brother and his soon to be
Karen, Uh, and then he tried.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
He creates a a wall of spikes and tries to crush her
and try, yeah.
Spikes and tries to crush her.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah, tries to crush his wife, which then he then
morphs into the snowman.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
And he goes.
You just get the.
Now, you get the point.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
And then Sam.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Or no, you don't get the point no, no.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
And then Sam shoots him with an arrow Banana.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
With a banana.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
And then he explodes.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
He explodes, and then he explodes.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
He explodes, and then he's gone, he's gone, he's dead
, there's nothing else.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
And then she literally picks her up, goes
outside and they walk off intothe sunset of the beach.
And that's when we get thatstupid ending where the Japanese
, the Japanese guys.
Yeah, and they get hit by agiant fucking carrot.
It's weird, and we never findout what happens to the other
couple because they run into thefucking cooler.
Everybody's pretty much dead atthis point.
Everybody on the island is deadand we don't get really a
(14:46):
resolution like we did from thelast one.
So you know what this movie cando.
This movie can go fuck itself.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, if there's a direction it can do, it could
fuck.
It is off.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So yeah, this was bad .
So the dumb, cool, weird.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Let's start with the dumb, because I know there's
going to be a lot, oh yeah, well, I don't know where to start.
The fact that he becomes waterand he doesn't think.
You know, I could literallyjust suck the island.
You know I am water.
I could suck the island andsubmerge the island.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I could cause a hurricane.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Kill everybody.
No, I'm just going to go onthere and stab everybody and
whatnot?
Kill everybody no, I'm justgoing to go on there and stab
everybody and whatnot.
It was a dumb movie.
It's like King Kung Fu.
I just think that certainpeople shouldn't be making
movies.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Well, you know, I know they were trying to be
self-aware and stuff but I thinkthe dumbest thing about this
movie is it's so obvious it'sjust paid for by that beer
company.
Yeah, like I said, it's just abig beer commercial.
It's really all it is andthat's so dumb.
Like you had so many like you,you had an opportunity to
(15:56):
actually make a really goodmovie.
But you know I know that, likethese people who funded it like
probably wanted you to docertain things, but you should
have actually made it like fun,interesting something.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
You know this would be like in the 90s if Coca-Cola
made a polar bear movie.
Yeah, Just to showcase howactual polar bears love
Coca-Cola.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Well, it's also funny , because that beer is not a
beer that you would actuallydrink either in the Caribbean
orbean or around the holidays.
That's so fucking stupid,because obviously it's a sushi
beer.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It's a good sushi beer it's a good get it's a good
.
I'm going to get fucked up onthe town.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Kind of beer yeah, but it's not a beer that you
drink on the beach.
On the beach, you drink coronawith lime, or if it's the
holidays, you usually drink likea, like a stout or something
yeah, so what?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I?
What I consider an Asahi,asahi's, like one of those.
Like I'm getting either theAsahi's or I'm getting the bush
lattes.
I'm going to go with the Asahi.
It's a little heavier, I'mtalking about the alcohol and
you're going to get fucked up.
It's going to be great and it'srefreshing.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
What was cool about this movie besides the fact that
it's about a killer snowman,get it cool, uh yeah uh cool,
wow, that's a, that's a tallrequest I think some of the
visual effects were kind of cool.
Not the, not not the, not thethat.
Let me add to the dumb realquick, those fucking shitty ass
cgi effects.
I did with the little that wasbad dude.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
so cool, I would honestly cool, though I would
say that the fact that it was abeer commercial essentially did
kind of make it cool.
Yeah, because Asahi's just notthe beer.
You would see.
It's like Heineken from KingKung Fu and Pizza Hut, right,
that's just so random.
But you get Asahi beer.
It's a Japanese beer companysponsoring this movie, so off
(17:40):
the wall.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, I also thought it was pretty cool how they
killed the Asian girl, because Ithought the ice effect was
pretty cool.
That looked pretty realisticactually.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Honestly, that was a pretty creative way to kill her,
because you know he justdrowned her.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, and I thought the snowman costume is pretty
cool.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
The snowman costume was a lot better from the first
movie.
The first movie was just mostlypractical effects and that was
all they could pull then.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, pretty much.
So let's talk about the weird.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Oh okay, he gives birth to snowballs by vomiting
them out.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
That is very weird.
Those little snow creatureswere fucking weird too.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
You know what?
It's weird that the resort ispretty much run by a Jamaican
guy at the front desk and an oldBritish colonel and a former
FBI agent who got fired forbeing bitten on the face by a
mutant snowman in the firstmovie.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah, we thought he was dead too.
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, I mean because he went into Jack Frost's mouth.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yep, it was weird.
I think the whole concept ofthe movie is weird.
It's just a weird fucking movie.
But you know, the thing is likemovies like this can be pretty
fun, you know.
I mean the first one was reallyfun.
Me and Nick actually reallyenjoyed it.
The first one was fun.
This one was just too much.
It's too much because it wasobvious they didn't put worth a
(19:02):
shit of a budget in there, and Ithink I'm done talking about it
, dude.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah, we're gone.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So just sign us off, Nick.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Stay sexy Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
And don't watch this one, so we're going to have a
better Christmas movie next week.

Yeah, they should have just not even bothered with
this one.
You know, all we can reallyfigure is that this Japanese
company that sells beer, what'sthe name of the beer company?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
It's Asahi Beer.
So I'm pretty sure whathappened was the Asahi Beer
Company wanted to make a reallyelaborate Christmas-themed
commercial and they were like,oh yes, we like Japanese movies
to have a little bit of horror.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
This will be a grand, big, grand commercial and they
really forced everybody in theAmerican production to say they
wanted all those people to comeback and yeah, cause I pretty
sure they just came across themovie and they were like, yeah,
this is how we're going to makethis a commercial work and we're
(01:12):
going to use this intellectualproperty.
But the reality is, is thedirector and all the actors are
probably like, yeah, thisdoesn't need a sequel, and they
were like, oh, we'll pay youmoney.
And they're like, all right,we'll do it.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Look, Jack O'Frost really liked the Asahi beer.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, they actually had a scene in the movie where
he was sitting there.
He's like oh, I like what didhe say?
Something about the beer.
I think I should have a coldone.
Yep, yeah, they were reallypushing the beer in this movie.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And that's how you can tell this is obviously a
product placement.
Just one day, oh, and then wehad that one.
We had that one naked Japanesegirl die in the swimming pool
before she, just you know, hedecided to have a beer?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yep.
The only naked girl in theentire movie just happened to be
a Japanese girl, so it can't bea coincidence.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
No, there's no such thing as coincidences, it's just
a Japanese beer and shitty ice.
Monster movie.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
And then at the end of the movie, the people who
probably funded the movie hadtheir cameo.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, that was really odd because they dubbed over
them.
They could have at least keptit Japanese and then put some
subtitles under there.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, that would have been funny.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
They were killed by a giant carrot.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yep giant carrot, which made absolutely no sense.
This whole movie is definitelyself-aware.
I will say that that was great.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
That was the great part about it.
I mean, it's right in betweenPhantasm and what was that other
shitty movie we had to watchthat?
I keep trying not to referenceKing Kung Fu.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
King, kung Fu, yeah King.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Kung Fu is bad.
King Kung Fu is bad, Liketotally bad.
This is the middle ground ofbad movies.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
No, and.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Phantasm is fun bad.
Yeah, so basically the wholestory is they're in the small
town again, these guys who arewe don't even know where they
came from it looks like evilEast German doctor and guy who
plays Saddam Hussein for aChristmas special showed up.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
They basically dig up the antifreeze and for some
fucking reason whatever reasonthey decided to try to resurrect
Jack Frost.
I think it's never reallyexplained.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I just want you to understand that microwaved
coffee is actually what got JackFrost to come back to life.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, I'm guessing it was because there was a little
bit of water in it.
That's the only explanation Igot.
And then he chopped the guy'sfucking face off, like through
his mouth.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, he shot a giant piece of glass and cut him in
half.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yep, and then you know, it turns out that the town
is laughing at the sheriff,even though the sheriff saved
the town.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So him and his wife.
It's only been a year.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, it's only been a year.
So you know, they decide to goon a trip to you know, to the
Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
But let's go back to this.
All right, he saved the town,which mostly gets murdered by
this giant murder monster,snowman yep.
They saw him kill this snowman.
They helped him bury thesnowman yep.
And now they're making fun ofhim a year later because he has
ptsd from killing said mutantsnowman yep, pretty much, and
(04:21):
it's.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It's bad because even his wife and his two friends
from the previous movie areliterally gaslighting him.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
That's his brother and his brother's wife.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, imagine that.
I don't even know if they werein the previous movie.
I'm just guessing.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
That could have been other actors.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah.
But they're all gaslighting himLike, oh, he's not coming back
the entire movie.
This guy's like I can sense him.
And then they're all like, ohno, you're hallucinating.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
This isn't happening at all.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yeah, and they're making fun of him the whole time
.
You could definitely tell thebudget was really low, because
in the beginning of the moviethey're supposedly getting on a
plane and going somewhere, andwhen they're doing that, they're
at the Snowminton InternationalAirport.
Which you know, it's more likea bus stop, and I've never been
to the Snowman InternationalAirport, but I gotta tell you
(05:12):
that didn't look like an airportat all.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
It was a bus stop.
Yeah, A very good bus stopmaybe.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, and let's talk about the fact that.
Let's talk about the fact that,sorry, my cat's like being a
bitch.
Stop Percy.
Yeah, there she goes.
Aaron gets pets.
Yeah, so I will Meow.
My cat's trying to eat likestuff off my countertop and she
knows she's not going to be upthere.
I'm going to give it to herwhen she gets.
When we get off this fuckingpodcast, she's going to get the
(05:43):
spray bottle, um, but basicallywhat ends up happening is me and
nick are trying to figure outhow the fuck did he know how I
mean, they even brought it up inthe movie like it's 2300 miles
away from where they were andhow the fuck did he know how to
get there?
And supposedly he came in thewater also he can't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
That's too warm.
Yeah, he hates it because it'swarm.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So why is he in tropical water?
That was established in theother movie.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, he hates the heat he melts.
Yeah, he gets affected bywarmth.
Still so now it's like why ishe traveling through the ocean
in tropical conditions?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Not to mention he can automatically just make it snow
.
I didn't know he's like Stormfrom X-Men.
I didn't know he's like Stormfrom X-Men.
I didn't know he could controlthe weather.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
The only thing that I can think of is because the
Pacific Ocean is cold and I'mnow trying to use science and
I'm realizing that's retarded.
So don't use science.
It doesn't make sense, becausehe could have just snowboarded
his way right across and gotthere.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
And not to mention, in the beginning of the movie
the stereotype fucking bus landsand all the stereotypes get off
the fucking bus.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Oh yeah, Right out of the island.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
The three girls that die in every fucking movie.
They get off first, so we knowthey're gonna die first the 50
year old porn star yep with thegay asian guy and the asian girl
who died.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Okay, so first off there was the blonde girl who
was pretty much in every 90s lowbudget movie, and then there
was the asian girl with the fakeboobs in every low budget movie
that dies pretty much.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, that was it, that was it Pretty much.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I mean, that's literally it.
Then you had the sheriff, hiswife and his brother and his
wife.
Then we had a bunch of extrastoo.
That's literally the entirecast.
We also have the Jamaican guywho makes the drinks, the.
British colonel, the Britishcolonel that thinks it's
Victorian England or something.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, I couldn't honestly pick which war he was
trying to talk about, becausethat was not matching up.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Oh, and don't forget about Captain Fun.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, captain, fun that kid was.
We wanted him to die muchearlier in the film.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, he's one of the last ones to die.
That sucks.
You know ones to die.
That sucks.
You know, I really kind ofwanted the colonel and the
jamaican kid to live yeah, it'skind of a, it's kind of sad that
they didn't.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Oh and uh, manners, agent manners came back, yeah
had an eye patch.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
He was the security of the island somehow more
handsome, this movie yeah,everybody's commenting on that.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I guess he lost weight or something, I don't
know he just, I guess his face,his facial reconstruction
actually paid off.
He didn't get a liposuction,though.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Well, you know, it's a pretty simple plot.
Once you get to the island,literally, Jack just starts
picking people off one by one.
He uses very elaborate things.
It kind of starts off kind oflike Looney Tunes.
He turns into an anvil andfalls on a girl, crushes her.
Her little body parts areeverywhere.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And then when the other friend catches her, like,
finds out where the body is, shesteps on an icicle and then
falls back into a bed of icicles.
Yeah, it actually kind of hurtme just looking at it.
And then the blonde girl whowas in every 90s movie she gets
stabbed in the face with sometongs and her eyes are ripped
out.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, pretty much, and that's basically what Jack
does.
He just goes on a killing spreelittle by little, and you know
the Colonel keeps saying, ohsharks, coconut sharks did it.
And he's trying to pass it off.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
He's really trying to Disney this Yep Like, because
you know when you go toDisneyland and you die they just
take you off of the park.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Uh, disney, please don't kill me.
Yeah, exactly.
And so what ends up going on isuh, you know, jack frost goes
around and starts killing peopleand then, finally, he's just
like, after killing the asiangirl, after cooling off the pool
, he's like you know what, let'sliven this place up.
And he like starts making itsnow.
And that's when we realize thatit's kind of weird that he's
able to do storm.
Yep, he also kills the50-year-old porn star.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
She eats a piece of ice that he has turned into, and
then he blows up her head.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Blows up her head, and then he kills the other guy,
the Asian guy, the.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Asian guy gets a much slower death.
Yep.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
And then, finally, we get to the point where they're
still trying to gaslight thesheriff.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
After they see Jack Frost kill multiple people in a
snowball fight.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
by the way, Yep, like he's knocking people's arms off
.
He's sending like ice spearsthrough people's faces and then
the other lady's like, oh youknow, it can't be Jack Frost.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You're just not fun anymore, sam, yeah Right.
Fun anymore, sam, yeah right.
I love, though, when they wereplaying, when he's like
traveling with Antifreeze, kulkand all the other stuff that
they beat him with in the firstmovie.
He's like Joe, don't you thinkyou're a little paranoid?
And it's like, yeah, aren't youa little happy that he's
paranoid at this moment?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, because they do like, they take the extra
precautions.
They try to bury themselves inthere.
And then Jack and um the FBIagent ex FBI agent go out, try
to get them.
And then it turns out, um, jacklike finds them, uh, and they.
They get trapped inside thekitchen.
But then they come up with theidea Ooh, let's turn this
fountain into antifreeze.
(10:48):
And so they set up a littletrap, cool it.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
They gave him one of those old punji stick pits kind
of ideas.
They trapped him in there.
He got in, he started to burn.
They thought oh shit, we won.
And then told Wes, please pausethe movie right now.
We just got to know how muchmore stupid shit we got to watch
30 minutes 30 more minutesafter that and yeah, oh, he
gives birth by vomiting out hischildren.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah, so he survives the antifreeze because
apparently he's immune to it nowand then he starts vomiting
like snowballs that are his kids.
And this is when the movie justgoes I mean, batshit crazy.
I mean, listen to what I'msaying, look at me.
This is when the movie gets offthe fucking rails and gets
unhinged.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Seriously, Sergeant Manners goes on a manhunt to
find Jack Frost and, well youknow, Captain Fun gets killed by
one of the snowball childrenand they decide to warn him it's
too late.
It's too late, they eat him.
Oh yeah, by the way, thesnowballs are cannibals too.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
They eat people and they love beer.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Oh yeah, by the way, the snowballs are cannibals too.
Yeah, they eat people, they eathuman flesh and they love beer.
Yeah, asahi beer, drink it.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Snowballs do Asahi beer when you're having a bad
day with cannibal snowballs?
Just remember that a nice,refreshing Asahi beer will
always keep you happy.
Yeah, and so basically, thesheriff checks out.
He just checks out.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, he kind of went all Looney Tunes in the head
right there and then his wifetakes over the reins and then
you know they're going on their.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
they're basically trying to catch all these
snowballs and they're not havingluck.
And then she fucking justrandomly finds out that
apparently they blow up when youhit them with some fucking
banana daiquiri.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, apparently Jack Frost in the first movie.
His blood got like a samsheriff.
Sam's blood gets mixed insideof the antifreeze with him.
So I'm apparently they'reconnected, they're blood bonded
somehow yep and make sense ofthat now he's allergic to
bananas.
That's his weakness.
It's bananas.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It's bananas is his weakness.
It's really bizarre.
And so, basically, they go on afucking killing spree, killing
all the fucking, it's like awhole montage.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, they go on a montage, just like pouring
banana juice all over these poorlittle snowballs, these poor
cannibal snowballs, and theyjust explode everywhere and Jack
gets upset because he finds oneof his half-dead snowball kids
and my boy.
You massacred my boy.
Look at how they massacred myboy.
But you know, what was funny,though, is when they didn't know
what to do, when the colonelwas in the woods alone and he
(13:26):
played one of those.
Oh clever, yeah, clever girl,clever girl.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
They really referenced Jurassic Park a
little bit here in this movieafter they massacre all these
snowballs, Jack comes back andhe just fucking fucks everybody
up.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, he kills the Jamaican guy and the British guy
, which was sad, Uh.
He tries to kill Max, sorry,Sam's brother and his soon to be
Karen, Uh, and then he tried.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
He creates a a wall of spikes and tries to crush her
and try, yeah.
Spikes and tries to crush her.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah, tries to crush his wife, which then he then
morphs into the snowman.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
And he goes.
You just get the.
Now, you get the point.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
And then Sam.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Or no, you don't get the point no, no.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
And then Sam shoots him with an arrow Banana.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
With a banana.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
And then he explodes.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
He explodes, and then he explodes.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
He explodes, and then he's gone, he's gone, he's dead
, there's nothing else.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
And then she literally picks her up, goes
outside and they walk off intothe sunset of the beach.
And that's when we get thatstupid ending where the Japanese
, the Japanese guys.
Yeah, and they get hit by agiant fucking carrot.
It's weird, and we never findout what happens to the other
couple because they run into thefucking cooler.
Everybody's pretty much dead atthis point.
Everybody on the island is deadand we don't get really a
(14:46):
resolution like we did from thelast one.
So you know what this movie cando.
This movie can go fuck itself.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, if there's a direction it can do, it could
fuck.
It is off.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So yeah, this was bad .
So the dumb, cool, weird.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Let's start with the dumb, because I know there's
going to be a lot, oh yeah, well, I don't know where to start.
The fact that he becomes waterand he doesn't think.
You know, I could literallyjust suck the island.
You know I am water.
I could suck the island andsubmerge the island.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I could cause a hurricane.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Kill everybody.
No, I'm just going to go onthere and stab everybody and
whatnot?
Kill everybody no, I'm justgoing to go on there and stab
everybody and whatnot.
It was a dumb movie.
It's like King Kung Fu.
I just think that certainpeople shouldn't be making
movies.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Well, you know, I know they were trying to be
self-aware and stuff but I thinkthe dumbest thing about this
movie is it's so obvious it'sjust paid for by that beer
company.
Yeah, like I said, it's just abig beer commercial.
It's really all it is andthat's so dumb.
Like you had so many like you,you had an opportunity to
(15:56):
actually make a really goodmovie.
But you know I know that, likethese people who funded it like
probably wanted you to docertain things, but you should
have actually made it like fun,interesting something.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
You know this would be like in the 90s if Coca-Cola
made a polar bear movie.
Yeah, Just to showcase howactual polar bears love
Coca-Cola.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Well, it's also funny , because that beer is not a
beer that you would actuallydrink either in the Caribbean
orbean or around the holidays.
That's so fucking stupid,because obviously it's a sushi
beer.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It's a good sushi beer it's a good get it's a good
.
I'm going to get fucked up onthe town.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Kind of beer yeah, but it's not a beer that you
drink on the beach.
On the beach, you drink coronawith lime, or if it's the
holidays, you usually drink likea, like a stout or something
yeah, so what?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I?
What I consider an Asahi,asahi's, like one of those.
Like I'm getting either theAsahi's or I'm getting the bush
lattes.
I'm going to go with the Asahi.
It's a little heavier, I'mtalking about the alcohol and
you're going to get fucked up.
It's going to be great and it'srefreshing.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
What was cool about this movie besides the fact that
it's about a killer snowman,get it cool, uh yeah uh cool,
wow, that's a, that's a tallrequest I think some of the
visual effects were kind of cool.
Not the, not not the, not thethat.
Let me add to the dumb realquick, those fucking shitty ass
cgi effects.
I did with the little that wasbad dude.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
so cool, I would honestly cool, though I would
say that the fact that it was abeer commercial essentially did
kind of make it cool.
Yeah, because Asahi's just notthe beer.
You would see.
It's like Heineken from KingKung Fu and Pizza Hut, right,
that's just so random.
But you get Asahi beer.
It's a Japanese beer companysponsoring this movie, so off
(17:40):
the wall.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, I also thought it was pretty cool how they
killed the Asian girl, because Ithought the ice effect was
pretty cool.
That looked pretty realisticactually.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Honestly, that was a pretty creative way to kill her,
because you know he justdrowned her.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, and I thought the snowman costume is pretty
cool.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
The snowman costume was a lot better from the first
movie.
The first movie was just mostlypractical effects and that was
all they could pull then.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, pretty much.
So let's talk about the weird.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Oh okay, he gives birth to snowballs by vomiting
them out.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
That is very weird.
Those little snow creatureswere fucking weird too.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
You know what?
It's weird that the resort ispretty much run by a Jamaican
guy at the front desk and an oldBritish colonel and a former
FBI agent who got fired forbeing bitten on the face by a
mutant snowman in the firstmovie.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah, we thought he was dead too.
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, I mean because he went into Jack Frost's mouth.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yep, it was weird.
I think the whole concept ofthe movie is weird.
It's just a weird fucking movie.
But you know, the thing is likemovies like this can be pretty
fun, you know.
I mean the first one was reallyfun.
Me and Nick actually reallyenjoyed it.
The first one was fun.
This one was just too much.
It's too much because it wasobvious they didn't put worth a
(19:02):
shit of a budget in there, and Ithink I'm done talking about it
, dude.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah, we're gone.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So just sign us off, Nick.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Stay sexy Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
And don't watch this one, so we're going to have a
better Christmas movie next week.
