But my youngest daughter, she'ssix and I was trying to watch
it with her and she's like thisis too weird.
Daddy, this is weird, my sickfriend can't handle it.

Making kids watch weird movies,that's why I have a podcast.

It's better than my little pony.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
You're back, I'm back .
I've been so fucking sick.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Sick.
Your kid's been sick.
Everyone's got a broken foot,everything's going fucking
bonkers over at your house, shitgoes rolls downhill and then me
I'm like, oh, you can't do it,okay, I'm just going to go lay
down, I'm done.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I'm going to go be healthy.
Thanks, I'm just going to go beas lazy as possible as I like
to be Hell.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, so it's the best Men in Black.
When was like the?
You remember like the firsttime you watched it?
Did you love it when you firstwatched it?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, I think I did.
Yeah, although I really likedlearning about the real Men in
Black.
Yeah, the super weird assholesthat have no hair.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
They have no eyebrows .

Speaker 2 (01:43):
If they do, it's all fake and they obviously look
like not not real humans orwhatever, and I think we're, I
think we're due for a remake,yeah and like, but at the super
creepy, like yeah, like let's doscary kind, let's do like a
scary remake yeah so do youthink men in black are real?

Speaker 1 (02:00):
yes, yeah, at least I want them to be yeah I think
there's probably just like agovernment agent that could come
to your house and be like hey,you don't exist.
Now see ya what?
I don't think there's likealiens, dresses like humans, uh,
pretending to be men in black.
I think that that goes a littletoo far no, don't think that

(02:21):
exists yes it just, we would seeit by now.
We would just see it.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
How far back do you think the neuralyzer goes?
Oof.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
The first person that got it accidentally neuralyzed
himself.
He's like what is this?
Just kept flashing himself overand over and over.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I'm not sick anymore.
No, I mean like, how far do youthink that they can set it back
like?
Can they set you back to likeinfants?

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I don't know.
Well, isn't the thing like theycan just?
Like they just put a time andflash you, yeah, flash you and
be like this is what happened, Idon't know.
Yeah, we really need to get thedetails.
I'm fine with speculation brobut, dude, I wish I had one,
that'd be awesome I know peoplewould be doing so much wrong

(03:06):
shit.
You go to a bank, just flashthe bank manager.
It's like, yeah, you were goingto give me all the money.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Oh, okay, well, I'll give it to you.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
And then you flash the camera.
So every time you go to look atthe camera you just get flashed
.
No, but that's probably likeone of my out of like all the
little tech and everything,neuralizers definitely.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I mean, whoever decided to put that in?
There was just.
It looks great.
It's the red lights Amazing.
Every time it flashes it's likehell.
Yeah, it's one of the bestparts of the movie for me.
It's so fun.
And then when Will Smith's likefears out about the neural you
didn't do that flashy thing, youwith me, did you so good, love
it.
So do you believe in aliens?

(03:49):
I want to are they with us, orhave they been with us?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
I think there's I mean there's definitely
something.
I really want them to be here.
I just want them, I want to seethem and I have to see them,
like on a talk show or somethingbefore.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
I believe them For real, like I want a news report
of like an alien landing Sugarwater?
All right, where's a bottle ofaspirin, just in case they're
going to attack.
I'm just going to take thewhole bottle.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
I don't want to be like an alien slave or something
.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
What is it?
A six year old.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
No, you just gotta roll with it.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
I've been on your side the whole time, guys, yeah,
I love you.
Guys, didn't you see me?
I was out there with one ofthose airplane things, just like
right here, come on, keep itmoving.
Yeah, you know, we got allthese like drone stuff happening
now and I feel like this is avery nice time to do.
Men in Black.
It sucks that.
It's kind of like not revvingdown.

(04:45):
Yeah, it's kind of simmeringdown.
Yeah, it's simmering down Eventhough.
I just watched a video today Iguess someone took and it was
like they were talking about iton the news, and it was this orb
in the air right, and it wasduring the daytime, not at
nighttime, and it was just likethis giant ball of light and as
it was getting closer they werezooming in on it and then the

(05:05):
light dissipated and it formedinto like an airplane.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, and I was like wait, what the fuck.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Like it was, like they zoomed in on it when it was
still a ball of orb, like justa orb, a light, a orb.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
A ball of orb.
It was an orby.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
But then it just like they, like we're zooming in
more and more, like all of asudden the light went away and
it was like the sun.
There's no clouds or anything,so like the sun was like over or
whatever.
So you'd assume it would stayshiny.
If it was a shiny, then it justturned into another thing and I
was like what the fuck arethese things in the air?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
They're airplanes, Jesse.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
It's so exciting, yeah, but like you've seen, like
an airplane with like a glareon it, it doesn't look like a
giant, like I don't know.
You know, whenever you'reoutside and there's a light bulb
and it's just got the glow toit, it's like usually they don't
look like that if there's aglare on it right, I don't know,
they don't, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
We'll go to conspiracy corner with Jesse and
Jason.
Hell yeah, coast to coast.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, so where does this land for comedies for you
Like, I mean, would you put thisin your top 10 or I don't know.
Probably Do you feel like thismovie kind of gets passed up
when people talk about comedies,even though it's like I
rewatching it I was like, oh man, we've done a lot of comedies

(06:25):
on this show and I think thismight be the best one we've done
.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, I don't know.
It's because you, you oftendon't think of it as a comedy.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Um sci-fi until you watch it again, yeah, yeah yeah.
And then you're like, oh, holyshit, will smith and tommy lee
jones didn't know I need it, butI'm glad we got it.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, fucking rules.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, like you never remember it, but then when you
do, you're so glad because it'sso good, it's such a fucking
great film yeah, and I think,like the, because the stars of
this movie have done so muchother stuff and they're kind of
more famous for other things,this movie kind of gets like
becomes an afterthought in theirfilmography, like well, I think
of tommy lee jones, I think ofof the fugitive and no country

(07:05):
for old men.
Those are the first two.
Hell yeah, and what's the moviewhere he, like he's got to
protect the cheerleaders, what Idon't know.
This is one of those moviesthat I watched as a like in high
school, a lot.
Like I rented it from like ageneral store we, we rented
movies in, movies from, and likeI rented it multiple times and
I'm like.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
I can't get it from the back area.
No, it was.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Well, it was like a legit, like a teen comedy movie
and he was like the.
He had to protect thesecheerleaders because they're
going to like I don't know.
Like they're up.
Someone threatened them orwhatever, and it was just like
he's got.
I'm Tommy Lee Jones, thatsounds hilarious.
That's the plot of the moviethat's actual quotes and
everything oh my god but likere-watching this.

(07:49):
I was like whoa, this might bein my top 10 favorite comedy.
God, it's amazing.
It's so funny.
I don't know where it'd rank inthough what's the funniest?

Speaker 2 (07:57):
what do you think's the funniest?
Bit, the funniest bit isvincent d'onofrio, his entire
performance yeah, he's amazinghe's so funny it's specifically
him in the car anytime he's inthe car, just like trying to
learn how to use his body, solike wow he just gets out.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
But yeah, he, and maybe that's why when, like I
think, about this movie it'slike I don't think about like
all the comedy stuff with WillSmith and Tommy Lee.
I just kind of immediately goto Vincent D'Onofrio.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
So good, I gave him a break.
It's even got David Cross in it, one of the funniest people.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Rip, Rip Torn.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh, dude His voice.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
I can't even do it, it's so good.
Alright, so so Will Smith orTommy Lee Jones, which out of
the two who do you think'sfunnier?

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I guess Will Smith, just because I don't think Tommy
Lee Jones is really a comedicactor he isn't, but he's so
funny, he's very good.
He's very funny in this one.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
He's very dry, yeah he plays off Will Smith very
well.
But, like Will Smith couldpotentially do the whole movie
himself.
I feel like, and it'd be funny,but it's like they needed each
other to like round each otherout.
Sure, to make Tommy Lee Jonesfunnier, you have Will Smith to
kind of tone down like thegoofiness of Will Smith.
You got Tommy Lee Jones.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, I love how like matter of fact is about all
this crazy shit.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, it's so good.
Ugh, all right, let's hop intothis.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
This is and Bob.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, son of a bitch.
Thanks and Bob, but like thebanter between those two,
whenever they're like you know,they go to Vincent D'Onofrio's
house and whenever, after he'salready turned an alien, they go
talk to the wife and like thewhole bit of like.
She's so funny too, Will Smithis like dude, like give her a
better like backstory and it'slike that scene would be too

(09:55):
much if it was just Will.
But the fact that you got TommyLee Jones, it's like him just
being like, ah, you were orwhatever, so funny.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, but I do really like how Will Smith kind of
gave her some girl power.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
It was great, it's like get an interior decorator
up in here Because damn yeah,all right.
So for our first fact, did youknow?
Men in Black is technically thefirst successful Marvel movie.
What, yeah, yeah?
So before Spider-Man, before XX-Men and even Blade, men in

(10:28):
Black was Marvel's first bigsuccess.
Uh, most people are kind ofunaware, did not know?
This is a Marvel film sincethere's like really no nothing
Marvel-y about it right, does iteven say Marvel ever um?
Well, no, I don't think, so notnot on the they just own the IP
.
the IP, maybe they just didn'thave like the they weren't
prepared to have, like the logoand stuff.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
I mean it's kind of before everything was going on
Like it's not Captain America,so but yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
So apparently the movie is based on a short-lived
comic book series.
Fuck, yeah, I guess the comicitself was published under
Malibu Comics at first in 1991,but Marvel purchased and
absorbed Malibu in 1994, priorto the movie release.
Marvel reprinted the originalrun and produced some new men in
black comics to promote thefilm, isn't that fucking?

Speaker 2 (11:14):
wild.
That's awesome.
Never knew that, and I may be.
Did they also have tradingcards?

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Like for that comic.
I know they had an animatedseries.
Okay, I don't know about.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
I didn't read comics back in the 90s so, and this
wasn't really when I did I neverread comics.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Did you ever watch the animated series?
I remember watching a littlebit.
It kind of had like theanimation, like almost like the
gargoyle show, sure I used towatch the shit out of gargoy.
Yeah, yeah, me too dude thatshow ruled Skate Sharks or
whatever.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Street Sharks Street Sharks.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
That was just some classic like 4 am in the morning
.
You're about to have to go toESP for school.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
I want to talk to the people who made Street Sharks
and ask them why are most oftheir characters completely nude
and some of them have clotheson?

Speaker 1 (12:02):
I really wish you could ask them, but they all
died of cocaine, so apparentlythe pug was spoiled and in a
black coat they usually are.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Why else would you have a dog that goes all the
fucking?

Speaker 1 (12:19):
time.
So apparently the dog.
The dog's name was Mooshu,great name.
He flew with luxury on businessclass flights had his own bed
in hotel rooms, drank onlybottled water, attended red
carpets and ate five star meals,but also, like I guess, mushu's
owner, was treated to the samething.
So you know, jesus, fuck,that's great.

(12:39):
I'm glad he got to live hisbest life before getting shooken
to death.
Shaked to death, wait.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
By Tommy Lee Jones.
I thought you were saying heactually got killed by, like
shaken baby syndrome.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
It's just like he never was the same.
He got put in one of those painshakers oh, don't worry he owes
him money.
Such a good bit.
Yeah, that was probably one ofthe funniest bits, Except sadly
they took they saw that andeverybody loved the adult pug
stuff and they made it too muchpug stuff in the second one.
This movie, the sequel is notgood and they took like

(13:17):
everything that happened in thefirst one and like the good bits
and just overdid it Like thelittle aliens in the coffee room
break room, which were reallyfunny in small doses.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yes, they're through that whole entire movie in the
next one and it's just like, no,like.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
The funny business was Will Smith, tommy Lee Jones,
I don't know.
They obviously didn'tunderstand that they're going to
do a sequel after this movie,especially with Tommy Lee jones
retiring, which is anyways.
So.
There were a bunch of prettyfamous people passed on the role
in men in black so, accordingto director barry sonnenfeld

(14:00):
almost went with three, withdifferent actors.
Clint Eastwood was originallyeyed to play Agent K, which
explains the cowboy-esqueattitude that K sports.
It would have been all right,but it was way too serious it
would have had a yeah, and likethe person they're going to have
play Agent J.
Those two wouldn't worktogether.
Agent J was originally offeredto Chris O'Donnell, but

(14:21):
Sonnenfeld wanted Will Smith somuch that he actually lied to
O'Donnell to make him decline.
O'donnell didn't want anotherincident like Batman and Robin,
which he had just sufferedthrough.
Meanwhile, vincent D'Onofriowas cast as a movie villain
after Bruce Campbell and JohnTurturro declined.
Wow See, so the other two don'twork at all, like Clint

(14:42):
Eastwood and Chris O'Donnell.
Sure, like I like ChrisO'Donnell.
Sure, like I like ChrisO'Donnell, but not that much.
It's not really that funny.
Well, I just don't.
I mean, I literally, when Ithink of him, I only think of
Batman and Robin.
How bad, yeah, yeah, but he'salso kind of funny in it, but
not on purpose but good assmovie though yeah, but with
Vincent D'Onofrio like BruceCampbell.

(15:04):
John Turturro, that would havebeen fun to see.
Oh yeah, bruce Campbell wouldbe the only one that I don't
know.
They're both really good actors, but Bruce Campbell would have
been fun in this role.
Sure, john Turturro is like awhole different thing, but he's
such a great expressive actor aswell.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah that would have been cool to see.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
He'd just been a skinnier version.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Which would have?

Speaker 1 (15:24):
been weird.
I'm just going to do two more.
I don't want to overbear it.
So Linda Foratino, the girl inthe movie the one girl, yeah so
apparently she won her Men inBlack role in a poker game.
What yeah, so that's legit.
According to Looper, Lindaactually got the role of Men in

(15:45):
Black when she played poker withBarry Sonnenfeld.
Linda won the game and herprize was the role of Laurel.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Weaver Apparently.
What Do you think you'll everwin?

Speaker 1 (15:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Maybe, probably, it was really just like a handjob
on him.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
It's like you know, we didn't have to play poker
into that you just gave me ahandjob.
Poker face.
But Linda's casting led to somechanges, including the ending
which her character becomesAgent L, where originally her
character was going to have hermemory erased.
So I was like, oh cool, so thatmust have changed.
Like man, that would havechanged so much, even though
she's like, not even in thesecond movie, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Wait, no, the second movie.
I don't think.
Wait, it's no, the second movie.
She's, she's, it's all abouther and jay, like she's jay's
partner no, they bring backtommy.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Oh man, it's the third one because he works at a
mail room and like there it'sthe whole thing where he he goes
to get her or him and then likeall the people that work in the
mill, uh, the post office areall aliens.
That's like the beginning is areally good bit and I love it.
Um, so, apparently vincentd'onofrio put a lot into his men
in black role.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Um, hell, yeah, he did, yeah, so he um did so well
that they put him on law andorder for 15 years so,
apparently so they're like hey,here's your motivation be a
sleazebag husband, yeah righttalk about beating your wife the
entire time um bam, who'sstraight to the moon yeah, so uh

(17:16):
, I.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Apparently he watched a lot of bug documentaries to
get prepared for the role.
Yeah, just watch bugs life justa bunch of bugs, and so his
eyes were glued shut and hismakeup process for the for the
several stages of Edgar decayingbody took six hours.
Vincent D'Onofrio even went tothe extra mile and put his legs
in braces to keep his legs frombending simulating the idea that

(17:39):
he was compressed.
Being inside a rotten corpse,that's awesome, yeah, it's so
great.
Depressed being inside a rottencorpse that's awesome, yeah,
it's so great.
And it's like as a kid, youknow.
I don't really think about thefact that.
Oh yeah, this guy is like in arotting skin suit.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, you don't ever think of that as rotting.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah and then.
But now watching as an adult,I'm like dude, that's got to
stink.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, he wasn't hygienic.
It's got to be stinky.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
He was awful.
I wish there was a deletedscene showing him being ripped
out of the skin suit.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Just like a really hard art or the NC-17 version,
or something you kind of justsee him and you see like his
skin being like thrown out Outof the hole, yeah, like the
throat, the bug, like he totallyate him.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, that's what I can only say.
He ate all the meat parts.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, I mean probably delicious.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
I'll take you with me for a snack.
Oh God, so gross.
He literally is like the bestpart of this movie.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
So I started watching the show.
The stand the adaptation onParamount.
And it's yeah, whatever.
I heard it was bad.
It's and it's yeah whatever.
Yeah, it was bad.
It's kind of bad, but like theway that the people look when
they get sick kind of reminds meof him, really of this
character.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
I'd listen to the stand on audiobook.
I wanted to watch the show butthen, like all of his
adaptations, it was deemed notgood.
Yeah it.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
It moves way too.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Anyway, we're not talking about the stand, bro
that book is rough, it's verylong and my and the worst part
of that book is the fact that myfavorite part was the beginning
, like.
By the time I was in the book Iwas still thinking about like,
because at the beginning of thatbook spoilers I guess for the
stand like it it takes placefrom a guy who like caused like

(19:24):
the disease or whatever, and helike he guy who like calls like
the disease or whatever and helike he's running away from like
the base or whatever he'scoming to get his wife and
things like that.
So good I I.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Oh yeah, the guy who was who had to run away, or the
the the guy?
Uh yeah, I don't hear you.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
I've seen the show uh yeah, I don't hear you, tom, as
in the show.
I've read the book and seen the.
There was an old tv, the old,the stand, yeah, apparently also
, which is better than the new.
Oh, is it really?
That's impressive.
That's the thing I would kindof wish they'd redo.
A lot of his, um, his reallybad, uh shows like maximum
overdrive, baby.
Uh.
No, there's nothing wrong withthat movie, it's a perfect movie

(20:06):
.
You're right, honestly by makingit a good movie, you made it a
bad movie.
Yeah, yeah, completely right,unless you're doing all the
cocaine in the world don't redothat movie?
no, but like we, because Iwatched a ton of like the
stephen king series, becausethey all were on sci-fi all the
time.
Hell yeah, um, you got, got the.
What is it?
The one where they're eatingthe planet little, and they're

(20:27):
like on a.
There's like a blind kid orperson and the airplane, they're
at an airport and like theLangoliers.
Is that what they're called God?
I don't know.
I think it's like theLangoliers.
If you know, let us know movieor short Adaptation.
You can't say Shining, though Ireally like the Green Mile, I
love Shining.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
That was cool.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, don't say any of the good ones Say the TV
series Shawshank Redemption yeah.
I know it's crazy.
Yeah, that's Stephen King,apparently pretty good at
writing, good at storytelling.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
He's so gross, though in his movie or his books
there's so much body horror.
Yeah, yucky stuff.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
My favorite is Revival.
That's my favorite book of hisHell.
Yeah, it's great.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Anyways, we're doing Men in Black.
How about we hop into the plot,brother?
Okay?

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Golly, I'm so sorry.
We're going to do a StephenKing thing soon apparently.
Hell yeah, man, I love StephenKing.
All right, so the movie startsMen in Black.
You get an excruciatingly longbug flying scene.
I get the point of it and it'slike a great way to do the
credits or whatever, butwatching it multiple times for
the podcast, I fast forwarded it.

(21:38):
So we're in the middle of anArizona desert.
We got a guy named Nick, theDick played by Uncle Rico from
Napoleon Dynamite.
Yeah, it's great.
Hell yeah man.
And like he's bringing in abunch of like illegal, like
foreigners and stuff like thatto the United States or illegal
aliens Good bit at the beginning, so he saw that like a border

(22:00):
control checkpoint or somethinglike that.
You got all these cops there,they're having them get out of
the car so they can like, talkto him.
He's like, oh, y'all are all introuble now.
But when nick's about to getarrested, a black car driven by
agent k and agent d as apassenger uh pulls up and they
get out of the car claiming tobe the ins division six.
What's ins, you know?

(22:20):
Immigration INS, division 6.
What's INS, you know?

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Immigration, national Security, something yeah.
Something made up, I'm sureyeah.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
So they're searching all the foreigners.
They find that one doesn'tunderstand a word of Spanish.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah, he's like the most stereotypical.
Yeah, I know, and he's the onethat just starts laughing.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
And they're like ah, everybody else, you're free to
go across the border and likethe cops are like this is
bullshit and he's like get outof here son, oh sweet.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I love how like he's got his.
His head is on a stick.
Yeah, like a puppet.
Yeah, cause.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Agent K goes and like just cuts open his body
essentially and it he's justlike wrapped around a stick.
He's like, hey, I'm Mikey, thealien's name is Mikey.
So they're going to arrestMikey, not knowing when he was
let out of jail, becauseapparently he was in jail when
one of the cops, janice, noticesthis.
Mikey notices Janice, pushes Ddown and starts running towards

(23:17):
him.
K tells D to shoot, but D isunable to.
So K shoots, disintegrating itin the nick of time, uh,
janice's colleagues show up anddraw their guns on k, who
insists that the situation isunder control.
Like what the fuck is going onhere?
And then, all of a sudden, allthese other cars pull up.
It's like the containment crewor whatever.

(23:39):
Um, they just start scorchinglike all the landscape and
everything.
Um.
Then k shows the uh, the agentsor the cops, the neuralyzer.
Um, when janice has k who hereally is, k says he is just a
figment of their imagination andzaps them and it's great um.
K then takes off his hissunglasses after he neuralyzes

(24:01):
them and tells it, tells thecops to get out of here.
They're lucky to be alive aftersuch a big blast because
they're apparently hit anunderground gas main.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
That's why he's covered in snot yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
And this next part is why this movie, I think, also
is really good.
Like Barry Sonnenfeld, he's agood director, but so like he
goes and sits next to Agent Dand like just like apologizing
he's just like not as good as heused to be and he wants to be
called big d.
Big d I'm aging, big d but he'slike apologizing for he's like

(24:34):
too old and he's like the bodyis willing but the mind isn't,
or whatever.
Um, then he's like you know, wenever take time just to look up
at the stars and he's like here, look at this, at this, and
neuralizes them.
But it's a really sweet moment,just out of nowhere.
And then they kind of do it atthe end of the movie with Kay
and it's just like damn, ohthat's code for send me back.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Send me back.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
But it's just like I don't know.
I love.
I think that's why this, youknow.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
you know some of the problems with comedies now is
that they're just goof, goof,goof, goof, goofy.
Right.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
There's nothing he like really human yeah about it
and like with like a movie likethis, like this little sweet
moment.
I was watching it, maybebecause I was a little high, but
it really made me feel you know, same with kind of the ending.
But anyways, we cut to new yorkcity where a young nypd named
James Durrell Edwards III laterAgent K, chases after a man who

(25:30):
he does not know is a cephalopodCephalopod Cephalopod
Cephalopod.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Which is just like it's weird that they call him
that.
Yeah, that's, that's like aoctopus.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, but he had gills, like he calls his eyes
the gills and stuff.
But like they're runningthrough all of New York City
Drops on a like they drop on abus.
It's like it just be rainingblack people in New York.
So good.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
It's a badass chase, yeah it really is.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
It's really good.
This movie is like good.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
I'm just going to keep saying, good, it's great
movie's like good.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
I'm just gonna keep saying good, apparently great.
Um, edwards almost catches theman but he gets away by drawing
a weapon.
But it just like evaporates wasjust really cool shit and the
effect looks really good um herun, his eyes blink, yeah, yeah,
and like they run up.
They get on a roof.
The man's eyes blink.
Um, the man claims he's comingand it's's like what?
And at the end of the world,the world will end.
He blinks his gills under hiseyes and then he willingly falls

(26:28):
to his death.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Rip.
I feel like he could havesurvived that fall Right.
He climbed up the building.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
How could he just not parkour down it?
He could, he could have.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
I think maybe the idea is.
He was just like going to killhimself anyways, oh yeah, idea
is, he was just like gonna killhimself anyways oh yeah, he
could not be captured.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah, he's like I can't go, I'm gonna die.
This bug's gonna kill us all.
It's seppuku.
So then the scene cuts to afarm where a farmer named edgar
uh yells at his wife about hisdinner being poorly made,
instead of having steak.
So because he's the poor, yeah,saying that she's useless and
the only thing that pulls hisweight is his truck.

(27:06):
Oh no damn, his truck.
On cue, a spaceship promptlycrashes into the truck.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
That's awesome, good bit and he walks out typical
it's her fault, yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
and then it creates a huge crater.
Edgar goes outside toinvestigate, as his wife, uh,
patrice asks Edgar what on earthis it?
Is it before?
Edgar really tells Patrice toget back inside he's such a dick
, um.
But then he gets killed by thealien.
He's got a gun.
He's like all right, just grabshim out.
Yeah, um.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
and the alien steals.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Alien steals his skin and uses it as a disguise.
Oh man.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Classic, I love it.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
It's so good.
But then he goes in the house,he asks for sugar water and then
freaks out Patrice Sugar,because she's like you don't
look so good, and he just pullshis skin Does this look better.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
How's that?
She just falls straight to theback.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
You got a pretty good , edgar.
Just falls straight to the back.
You got a pretty good Edgar andhe goes out, picks up his
spaceship, since he must take itwith him to return home.
Tiny-ass spaceship yeah, thatbug is huge.
I'm assuming he can just crawl.
Maybe it's bigger on the inside.
It's like a genie bottle orsomething.
Yeah, how does he fit?

Speaker 2 (28:22):
inside the skin suit?
I don't know, he's so big, he'slike a genie bottle or
something.
Yeah, how does he fit insidethe skin suit?
I don't know, he's so big, he'slike 30 feet tall.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Maybe he's got slight powers where he can kind of
like shrink and grow maybe.
He's got to.
I mean cockroaches, right?
I don't know.
So meanwhile, edwards gives hisincident report to his boss and
when he leaves, kay steps inand asks Edwards about the
weapon that evaporated.
He asked if Edwards wouldrecognize the weapon if he sees

(28:52):
it again.
And like you got this wholething, I love this part right.
It's this oh, at the pawn shop.
Well, no, just like I.
Still at the littleinterrogation room at the police
station oh yeah, he will.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah, because you know, you know the boss, the
boss is like this is what areyou talking about, dude?

Speaker 1 (29:08):
this isn't real.
You got the batter cop.
He's just like being mean andrude to him.
They're about to fight, but Ijust, and then you got a weaver,
comes in and is like I saidlook, I just came from the
morgue.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Dude, I believe you, uh but immediately gets flashed
as she walks out of the room.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
And then Kay comes in , just undoes the camera and
tells him like I believe you.
And then the boss is like Ican't go with you.
I got some paperwork, and thenthe boss comes in hey, great
paperwork, Great work.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Would you just be if you had one of these neuralizers
.
Would you just flash people?
I could just give themcompletely new backstories
Couldn't be trusted.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
I'd be the head of every company.
I would be the richest man inthe world.
Yes, yes, that's why sometimesit's good that movies aren't
real, um, but yeah, and then uh,agent, j is gonna tell him they
gotta go to a um Jeebs pawnshop.
Tony Shalhoub baby.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
It's so funny how the guy with the paperwork he's
like so excited about goodpaperwork this is really good
stuff.
He's the biggest nerd in theconference.
It's so good.
It's like the other guys likethis is him.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah, it's totally Michael Keaton's character, just
like super excited about theeasy stuff, and so Will Smith's
going to go in there, he's goinggonna play cop with him, you
know, with uh jeeps, and it'snot working.
So K comes in and just startsimmediately, blows his head off,
and I love it cause you knowsoon to be uh.

(30:37):
Um, will Smith's character isimmediately like hands on the
head, gun on the ground or gunon the ground, heads on the head
, gun on the ground or gun onthe ground, heads on the head.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
I love how serious he gets immediately, I know, but
it's so cool how his head justcomes back Just reforms.
He's like do you have any ideahow much?

Speaker 1 (30:49):
that stings Probably a lot.
I bet the ears are ringing fora while.
But so shooting his head offconvinces Jeeves to show them
the gun.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Why is it so wet when it?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
reforms Right, I right.
I guess it's like birth rightcome out wet.
But Jeeves shows him the guns.
Edward picks out the one he saw.
Kay yells at Jeeves, thinkingthat the weapon was used for an
assassination attempt and thatthe alien who bought it was
unlicensed.
And then so they go out.

(31:20):
Kay neuralizes Edwards and thendecides that he should join the
company.
He really works for the Men inBlack.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
But I love it because they have dinner.
Yeah, he wakes up and he'stelling them a joke.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Yeah, and then afterwards he's like who are you
?
But yeah, he gives Edwards abusiness card, that just is like
and lets him pick up the check.
So good.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Don't really joke.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
It's so funny in this , this is dry humor, so good.
And then we see Edgar kills anexterminator and puts his big
UFO in this tiny truck.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Yeah, and it's all sticking out the top because he
had to squish it in there.
Yeah, and it's like the bugtruck from Hank Hill.
Oh, it's like the bug truckfrom, uh uh, Hank Hill, Uh it's
like King of the Hill.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah From King of the Hill no it was Dale
, yeah, dale so um, so Edwardshows up to the address on the
card along with some othergovernment agents.
Edward gets his training.
Uh, first is a written exam.
Where Edward's unable to writein, the chair drags a table over
the loudest table drag ever.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
I hate those fucking chairs too.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Is that a real thing?
Have you sat in something likethat?
Well, it's impossible.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Anything with like a rounded where your legs come out
.
Yeah, it looks very, if you'retall, like those round chairs
you get for college or whatever.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
So yeah, Full shit and I love like cause you have a
bunch of like um, you have likea bunch of military yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Very skilled Edward's , just like an NYPD guy.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
And he's just like it's not working out, Cause what
like they're all so takingorders, but he's just like what
are we doing here?
What is this?
He can't even open the packet.
He breaks his pencil.
Give him a mechanical pencil,come on.
Rips the page.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
They gave me such PTSD for taking standardized
tests.
Yeah, in high school we're like.
I remember one time I took oneand I filled out the entire
wrong section, so I had to eraseevery single answer and then
re-put it in the other.
But I finished early enough soI had just enough time to just

(33:38):
do all the other ones Like what?

Speaker 1 (33:39):
the Scantron cheat so annoying Scantrons were the
worst.
Like, let's make it look evenmore boring.
Next is a target practice wherethe recruits grab pistols and
shoot at cardboard cutouts ofextraterrestrials.
All the recruits fire at everytarget that passes by, except
for Edwards who waits and thenfires a single round.

(34:01):
The MIB chief Zed asked Edwardswhy he thought the target why
did little Susie have to dieSmall?
girl.
Edward explains, though, thatone target hanging from a
lamppost is just working out.
Another target who is snarlinghas a tissue in his hand, and
the target Edward shot was aneight year old girl reading

(34:22):
quantum physics.
I mean, he's got a point, butwas he right?

Speaker 2 (34:28):
I don't think so, because the other guy, the other
men in black guy, comes in.
He's like what the fuck man?

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah, that was it why did you choose this guy?
But he was right.
Yeah, he was totally right.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
I was like was this girl an alien?

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Like what is it?
Did he do it right?

Speaker 2 (34:43):
I want to know, Maybe she was one of the aliens.
That's safe.
Yeah, she's just trying to live.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yeah, she's just a really smart alien, yeah, so,
but I think, like the idea isthat they're just supposed to be
like very intuitive yeah, greatsituational awareness.
Yeah, you're supposed to beable to tell who's an alien or
not, when there might be obviousaliens.
Who's an?

Speaker 2 (35:04):
alien or not, when there might be obvious aliens,
yeah or who the real bad guy is.
We need more police officerswho won't immediately shoot
everything, yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
But they'll hesitate and shoot us eight-year-olds.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Yeah, we already.
Exactly, we have those already.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yikes Once again, we lost all police officer
listeners.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Just kidding, we all know one yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
So Zed and Kay debate the results and decide that
Edwards is the right candidateAgent.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Kay, Because he ran fast Well no, they're like he
chased out a cephalopod.
He's like okay, fine, all right, he's in.
But he's intuitive too, he's afast runner.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Kay just has that good sense about him.
You know, yeah.
But K pulls Edwards aside whileZed neuralizes the rejected
recruits.
He says I have an eye exam.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
An eye exam.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Yeah, hell yeah.
K says he's got the job.
He explains that the agency hewill work for deals with aliens.
Edward doesn't believe him.
K introduces Ed to the worm hey, they're in the coffee room and
tells them that humans are notalone on the planet and that
aliens live among humans insecret.

(36:11):
I love the worms yeah, they'regreat.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
They're fucking just like spilling coffee smoking and
spilling coffee great.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
What do they do here?

Speaker 2 (36:20):
I don't know this is a comedy relief room.
Yeah, this is.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
It's just, I guess, they keep the coffee warm and
give you cigarettes?
And then annoy you to death.
They keep this room completelyfull of smoke.
Yeah, that's their job, I meanAgent K seems to like them,
though, yeah they're prettychill.
Yeah, they seem like a goodhang.
It seems like if you ever needa laugh, you just go in there
and one of them will dosomething funny hell yeah, man.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
I bet that's great for company morale yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
So Agent K takes Edwards outside and tells him
that he's got until sunrise tothink about joining the MIB.
I love there is a quote that Ireally liked.
K says a person is smart,people are dumb, panicky
dangerous animals, and you knowit.
Fifteen hundred years ago,everybody knew the Earth was the
center of the universe.

(37:06):
Five hundred years ago,everybody knew the Earth was at
the center of the universe.
500 years ago, everybody knewthe Earth was flat, what?
And 15 minutes ago, you knewthat humans were alone on this
planet.
Imagine what you'll knowtomorrow.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Damn Because he is.
And then the rainbow with thestar goes over his head.
He's like the more you know,the more you know, I don't know,
this is just I know, this isjust I know, take a look.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
I've never watched that show once.
Never watched it.
You never watched ReadingRainbow.
I've never caught it.
That explains a lot.
Yeah, that's why I don't readand I hate rainbows.
But yeah, I just love that, youknow.
It's just another point wherethey took like a second to kind
of be a little serious about inthe movie and I just love that

(37:46):
shit.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Yeah, so do you think ?
If someone told you you havetill sunrise to think it over,
would you stay up all nightsitting at that bench in the
city park or would youimmediately go home and go to
bed?

Speaker 1 (37:58):
I went home and just kind of sat on my tv going like
because yeah, you'd be googlingI got a skinny little butt so
it'd be uncomfortable after like30 minutes yeah, nobody can sit
on a park bench for that long.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Yeah, I think they're made that way.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Unless you like I got some bread and I'm just
throwing it to some birds, someducks.
But then I'd be like are thesedoves?
Are they, are they aliens?

Speaker 2 (38:18):
or are they aliens?
I don't know anymore.
You got a tiny.
At that point you have to sayyes, yeah, exactly because you
have to know.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Once you know that aliens are real, it's like, well
, no, I'm married so I wouldn'twant to lose all contact to
human people.
I'd be like can my wife join?

Speaker 2 (38:31):
yeah, he's just a neuralyzer, though.
It's like, ah, she'll, uh, Idon't know she'll.
She'll help out with the alienstuff yeah, like, I feel like if
you were to join thisorganization and they would just
make you disappear, you have tokind of request that your loved
ones like get neuralizedimmediately, forget about you.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Be like look, all right, I'll do it, but you have
to neuralize my wife and RyanGosling.
And now Ryan Gosling is mywife's husband.
And she'll never know.
I gave her that gift, but shehas that gift now.
Sorry, eva Mandes.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
She gets neuralized too.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
So the next day Edward returns to the MIB
headquarters after deciding tojoin MIB.
Also, I love that the entranceof this building there's just
like a security guard standingin front of this giant fan has
to be the most annoying job inthe world.
Then it just leads straight toone elevator.
Also love that.
He's like all right, I'm gonnajoin, but we gotta get this

(39:34):
straight.
Don't call me son, junior boy,any of this.
And the rest of the film theyconstantly call um.
So we see the headquarters forthe first time.
It's great.
There's aliens everywhere.
Um, you got like a customs area.
You have a lurch yeah, slugmonster, he's got the crazy ass

(39:56):
fruit, yeah, or whatever yeah,and like they show him, like oh,
you see, this is where we havelike all our, this is where all
our modern day inventions camefrom.
Shows them this little tinydisc and it's like see this,
this is what cds are gonna bereplaced with yeah, funny thing
is just a little bit bigger, butthat was the gamecube.
Oh shit, yeah, you're right.
And plus now switch.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
All their games are just on the tiny tiny little
cards, yeah, but the fruit inthe custom scene.
When he pulls out the weirdthing, it looks just like those
things that come out of thefruit in the custom scene.
When he pulls out the weirdthing, it looks just like those
things that come out of the shipin Fifth Element when they have
to squish them.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't like that fruit.
The fruit looks gross but it'sdelicious.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
It looks slimy in that it can move yeah.
I like that it vibrates, thenyou get the ball bit, the little
glowy ball thing, the thingthat caused the Chicago blackout
.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Yeah, the ball bit.
The little glowy ball thing,the thing that caused the
Chicago blackout?
Yeah, it's like hey, maybedon't just put that in a room
where anybody can just touch it.
Put one of those Beauty and theBeast glass things over it.
Yeah, exactly, so new peoplecan't just touch it.
And then we meet the twins.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
I'll let you do their names yeah and Bob.
Yeah, bob.
So we see that they keep alookout on disguised aliens like
Al Roker, sylvester Stallone,danny DeVito.
Danny DeVito's totally alien,Barry Sonnenfeld he's also one
Barry Sonnenfeld's daughter'salso up there, oh shit.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
And then we learn Agent.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
J's teacher was an alien as well.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Yeah, he's like I knew it.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
It's a good part of me, Thanks, Um, what's that?
Uh show that Nickelodeon show,Jimmy neutron.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
Oh sure, yeah, Kind of reminded me of that.
It was a giant forehead.
Yeah, Add all that brain inthere, so um all of Edwards
identifying marks are as well asgetting the last suit he'll
ever wear, and he is renamed Jay.
The newest MIB recruit.

(41:52):
Love it, you see?
So they've only got 26 agentsat any given time, I guess.
So, unless they start, doinglike first and last name
initials, I don't know A1.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Or it's like maybe they just they're like all right
, what letters we got left.
It's like our D's up.
So if we can find someone namedD.
Everybody wants D it reallyeliminates, like, if that's the
case, like the you know people,they can call.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Yeah, but I mean, you could have called them anything
, that's true.
Agent Splunge, agent Splunge.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
Agent Splooge.
But so we're back with Edgar.
He's following an alien namedGentle Rosenberg who has a cat
in the exterminators.
Oh man, the wild movements byEdgar, he's like, because he's
trying to turn around likekidding everything.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Maybe he's just like going through puberty he just
can't figure out his new body.
I just don't know.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Well, all his body's stuck in this thing.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
He's like trying to like yeah, don't we all feel
like that?

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Sure, that's what puberty is.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Yeah and that's what Marvel was all about.
Yeah, puberty, puberty, everysingle.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Marvel character.
Yeah, Hex man, I mean.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Captain every single character.
Yeah, x -Men.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
I mean.
Captain America, essentiallyit's skinny boy gets real ripped
.
Yeah, he does.
Iron man damn, doesn't reallywork for him.
Hulk, essentially puberty.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Spider-Man.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
Spider-Man's, like the most obvious one.
Yeah, so we see Javin is given,j is given his first assignment
with K to follow reggie regic,an extraterrestrial in new york,
in new jersey, despite the factthat he's restricted to the new
york city area um they gooutside and they're like, oh,
what's this old piece of shitcar, the car effects?

Speaker 2 (43:42):
oh yeah, the worst part of this movie.
They just sped up the footageand it's like oh God, yes, it
was bad, it was terrible, it wasreally bad.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
How about we redo just that scene?

Speaker 2 (43:56):
You could have just like made the car go fast.
Yeah, I know, just drive fastguys.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
So they see.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Reggie.
He is in a rush to get off theplanet.
It was funny though.
Yeah, so they see.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Reggie, he is in a rush to get off.
Yeah, so they see, reggie, he'sin a rush to get off the planet
with his wife, even though theyhave a newborn baby on the way.
Kay finds this unusual anddecides to check out the news.
Oh, yeah, he finds this unusual.
We get the whole scene with thebirth thing.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
That was awesome.
Yeah, I love how, like you showhim he's talking to the driver
and then he's like completelynot notice the woman in labor in
the back seat.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
He's like oh, oh, I see oh, oh.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
And then he tells like hey, jay will take care of
this.
He's a professional at this,it's okay, you just catch.
It's like slamming him on thehood and shit the baby's so cute
it is adorable when he's justlike.
You know what?

Speaker 1 (44:45):
this is actually kind of cute, like even cuter yeah,
it's pretty, and who knows thatthrow up might smell good or
something oh, that tastes greatstuff, right um but he's like
why would he be trying to uh,travel light speed, whether he's
got a baby on the way?
So he's like something's weirdhere.
So they go and you stand and hegets out like the tabloids yeah

(45:09):
, it's so good um he sees, Ilove the picture.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
That was like the my uh alien took my husband's skin
or something yeah, because it'slike the farm, the classic
american gothic skeleton farmers.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
So he sees that article written by Edgar's wife.
Alien stole my husband's skinand they go and investigate.
Meanwhile, edgar followsRosenberg to meet with another
alien of the same race whoinforms him that a bug landed on
the planet and that he must goaway.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
This is the large character, oh yeah, he goes to
talk to him.
I got you some diamonds foryour kids, like do they eat?

Speaker 1 (45:45):
diamonds, I don't know, maybe that's like some
it's just to them.
It's probably like notexpensive at all.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
I don't know, he's got a billion of them.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
Maybe it's like, if you're gonna stay here, here's
your college tuition for yourkids no, they definitely eat
them.
Yeah, it's got the hell of aintestines, oh and your teeth,
yeah but while they're talking,edgar comes in, ends up killing
them both and takes positionstab me to the neck.

(46:15):
Yeah, it's great and the cat'sthere into the restaurant with
him.
So after killing him he takesthe diamonds but leaves the cat.
I hope that doesn't come intoplay, because they believe that
that because the two charactersare talking about the galaxy,
you got to keep the galaxy safeor whatever um thing which ends
up being on the cat's neck oh,the guy, the lurch guy.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
Yeah, he looks.
Have you seen the?
Um?
There's a stephen king moviewhere the the woman gets trapped
in a house, her husband likehandcuffs her to the bed oh yeah
, that's the same character it'sthe same guy, isn't it the same
guy?
It looks the guy in the StephenKing movie is really fucked up
looking yeah this guy's lessfucked up looking.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Gerald's Game that movie.
I remember kind of like notwanting to watch it because I
didn't know what it was about.
And then, you know, as I gotmore into Mike Flanagan stuff, I
was like oh shit, we gottawatch it.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
So good yeah, that was crazy we're gonna do that on
this podcast.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
It looks like him, yeah actually a little pause for
a second.
Let's see gigantism.
Adam's family, yeah, and I'llbe a singer.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
He was lurch.
Yeah, he really was lurch.
Yeah, I was telling you he waslurch.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
Wow, I saw you making a joke only one person looks
like this, jason, and he's madea meal of it his entire life.
I would too, except for the guythat used to work at GLC Really
tall guy that everybody calledLurch.
Oh yeah, you don't work thereanymore, anyways.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
He was killed by a low-flying plane.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Yeah, but Edgar, he thinks he got the galaxy, but he
didn't.
K and J pose as FBI agents andquestion the wife.
They learn about the sugarwater, the wife, and once they
have all the information theyneed, she is neuralized.
And K tells the wife that therewas no alien and Edgar ran off
with another woman, kay's likeor Jay convinces Kay to ad-lib

(48:11):
the memory she gets, and Jayextends it.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
He's like no, you threw him out.
Yeah, you threw him out.
So I want you to go to town geta little cute dress, some shoes
.
Get your nails done, get yournails done A little face.
Make a day of it, get aninterior decorator.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
Oh, will Smith is so funny, did you know?
Because I thought we were goingto end up bringing up the fact
that he slapped Chris Rock atsome point.
I was going to be like oh yeah,it's like the crazy relationship
he has with Jada Pinkett Smith,but the only reason he did this
movie was because of JadaPinkett Smith.
But the only reason he did thismovie was because of Jada
Pinkett Smith.
Oh, really, because he didn'twant to do this movie, because
Independence Day was a yearbefore or whatever, oh shit.

(48:53):
And he's like I don't want todo another alien movie, I'm
going to be an alien guy.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
And then he did another alien movie after this.
Then he's done multiple alienmovies since this.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
After Earth.
That was one.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
Yeah, three of these movies Great.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
So at the crash site in the farm, k analyzes the dirt
and was hoping that the alienwould not be a bug.
Turns out it's a bug.
It's a bug.
He tells Jay that they willwatch the morgues with a bug in
town.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Do you know, whenever they were testing atomic bombs
and it irradiated a bunch ofcockroaches in that area and the
government put out a noticethat said if you see these
cockroaches, smash with hammer.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
Smash with hammer, not with hand, that's what
happened?

Speaker 2 (49:39):
They cannot be killed except with hammer, he's got
these cockroaches walking on twofeet, jacked to shit.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Smoking a cigarette.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
They've got hammers in each of their hands.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
Hey, we're here for some crumbs.
Give me some sugar water, don'tmess with you.
Throws out a switchblade, I'llcut you.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
You bring out the hammer, though, and they run.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
They're like oh shit, they can walk on two legs and
they're jacked, but they'restill small, I'd still be afraid
of them.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Yeah, holy fuck afraid of me.
I'm afraid of the ones thathiss.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
Well, the fucking ones.
In this movie it's like doesnew york not have normal
cockroaches?
Well, no, these are?

Speaker 2 (50:21):
those are madagascar car, yeah.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they arethose madagascar hissing
cockroaches yeah, becausethey're like the most famous
ones, and it's the only ones inNew York, apparently, in this
movie.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
So they were at the morgue.
A pathologist, laurel Weaver,who apparently is a damn ass
freak in this movie.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Yeah, man, she doesn't get a lot of human
contact.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
Yeah, she just immediately starts hitting on it
, like your eyes are so pretty.
But she examines the bodies andfinds them unusual.
But also we see the body gointo there and he got a cough
and he says here's the body.
He's like what's with the cat?
It's like, oh, there's aproblem with the cat, what's
that?
But he waits until she signs it.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
It's your problem, it's your problem.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
So Jay and Kay come in posing as doctors, they
examine the bodies and theydiscover that Rosenberg really
isn't dead yet.
But you got this whole scenewhere Kay is looking at the
lurch body and Jay is lookingwith the body that's going to
eventually have the alien headin it with Weaver, and it's just

(51:28):
like, oh, do you feel this?
It's like yeah, it's like,isn't that weird?
It's like, yeah, it's all there.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
it's like no, there's nothing there yeah, yeah, I
thought that's what we meanthere and then she's like you
have really pretty eyes and it'slike why?
Are we talking?
But it's great, she saidsomething like she wants to go
deeper into the weirdness andthen they get cut off.

(51:54):
It's so funny, it's like wow,are they going to have sex on
this body?

Speaker 1 (51:58):
But yeah, he comes back because she's like hey, I
have to really show yousomething here.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
And there's like this little button she presses on
the ears.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
And this little cute alien that's like on the verge
of death his last words are theperfect war the galaxy is on
orions bell, what's his word?

Speaker 2 (52:24):
The galaxy is on Whenever you're or up or I.
It's Bell.
Bell, what's his word?
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (52:31):
Oh, it's a cute little alien, though it is
adorable.
Oh, I'm so sad he died, butanyway.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Kay neuralizes Weaver and they head back to
headquarters.
Does he neuralize her like acouple of times?
Yeah, it's like, are you surethat's not going to give her
brain cancer?
That thing is going to give herbrain cancer.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
Then there's a quote Jay, did you ever flashy thing
me?
Flashy thing me, kate?
No, jay, I ain't playing withyou.
Did you ever flashy thing me?
No.
Then also Kay's like tells thepeople the Neuralizer and Jay's
like looks at him.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
And then Kay's like looks at him and then Kay's like
and make up something nice,thank you.
Thank you.
So Edgar is banging thediamonds around the truck.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
Can't figure it out and then he's like he's all
pissed off because you know,know, it's just a bunch of
jewels.
He resumes his search while Jayand Kay look at Orion's belt,
but Zed thinks that they heardwrong.
Kay looks up a woman thatapparently is his ex-wife.
How much do you I?
Love this technology, thetechnology it's like enhance,

(53:42):
enhance it's like on somethingthat's older than AOL, yeah, but
it's like enhance, enhance.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
It's like something that's older than AOL, yeah, but
like it's so old, and yet theyhave cameras on every person on
the planet.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Maybe when you join the agency they can be like all
right, we can put one satelliteon one person.
They then discover that a bunchof aliens have left the planet
and they notice an Arkylianbattleship above the Earth
conveying a message I love thenobody else notice it yeah.

(54:18):
We have telescopes and it's notthat far away.
It's like there's more agenciesout there.
So K and J they're going to godown to Rosenberg's jewelry
store to find clues and Zedtells K to give J a weapon.
K gives J the noisy cricket.
This was on an episode of PopCulture Jeopardy.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Oh shit, Because we did it after we watched the
movie.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
And because of its size, j doesn't think it will
protect him.
You know, he's like I'm goingto break this damn thing, yeah,
and he like points and I waslike whoa, I'm like dude, if
that gun goes off in this room,you're both going to die.
How about this?
His first gun, not a giantmissile, you know.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
maybe just give him like a smaller like this handgun
that's a laser or whateverSlingshot oh this tiny little
nuke in a gun.
Because it's more powerful thanlike anything that K has I know
, or it seems like it.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
It's like sheesh, but Edgar gets the Rosenbergs
before J and K do, however, andhe breaks in to look for the
galaxy.
He sees a picture ofRosenberg's cat, who was by his
side at the time of his death.
Edgar sees a marble on thecat's collar.
She thinks it's the galaxy.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
Yeah, he kind of recognized it yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
He notices the exterminator truck being towed
and goes out to investigate.
It's like because he like pullshis shotgun out to the tow
driver.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
And he pulls out a magnum.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
He's like hey, I don't think so.
I'm like, yeah, but he couldjust still shoot you.
You're still got your you'renot aiming at him.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
You should still be afraid of him.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
Yeah, k and J arrive with their weapons, notice that
the havoc that has been wreckedupon the store, and J finds it
unusual that anyone has brokenin without taking any jewels.
They suspect that the bug isbehind it.
Technically it's behind them.
They hear a shot and they seeEdgar walking with a gun in his
hand.
Edgar gets in the tow truck,drives away Jay, fires the noisy

(56:14):
cricket which is Sends himflying back into the other car
yeah.
That was great.
He fires it two more times.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Kay gets super angry he's like.
Launching him across the street.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Destroys an entire semi-truck K's like we're not
supposed to do this in front ofpeople.
He's like what are you talkingabout?
It's like it doesn't matter.
He can't go anywhere withouthis ship.
Yeah, and I feel like maybe Jayshould have some more training.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
He had zero training.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
Yeah, up to this point.
This guy has no idea what he'sdoing here.
Maybe give him a week to learn.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
Yeah, give him like one day of the firing range with
any gun that you guys use.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
Kay calls a Zed for a containment crew and Kay is
told that the Archeleon want thegalaxy.
I'm so sorry, guys, I'm sosorry.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
I can't say that word , it's just like I see it.

Speaker 1 (57:12):
I see like there's like an I LL and an I and like
that my brain goes intooverdrive and then I'm like I
don't know.
Edgar in the meantime asks theman, where do you keep your dad?
And eventually gets the citymorgue out of him.
And then Edgar steals somepostcard and then proceeds to

(57:33):
the morgue.
Why did he get the postcard?

Speaker 2 (57:37):
oh, because of the spaceships oh yeah, because of
the world fair.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Yeah, I forgot about that.
I was just like he justimmediately grabs some postcards
, like maybe he just likes postsome postcards, like maybe he
just likes postcards.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Maybe every time he goes to another planet.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
he gets a postcard Like do we still have?

Speaker 2 (57:52):
cards that talk about the 1930 World Fair.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
I guess in New York, when everybody's aliens maybe, I
guess.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
Oh, did you hear about this?
That happened, I guess, in the90s.
It would be like, oh yeah, thishappened 60 years ago.
We're still advertising for it.
Are those things still there?

Speaker 1 (58:12):
I don't know.
You know postcards have justrandom places like on the
pictures of them.
Yeah, it's like their thing, Iguess.
I mean, I guess maybe, well,they're close by.
So you know, usually wheneveryou're like at the Grand Canyon,
you can buy a picture of apostcard that has the Grand
Canyon on the front.
If they're nearby the World'sFair, just maybe they have a
postcard with the World's Fair.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
Yeah, but it was 60 something years.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
Well, if the buildings are still there,
they'd be like whoa hey, I wanta postcard showing them.
I went to the World's Fair.
This is great.
It's this completelyunbelievable movie.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
How could they have postcards of the World's Fair?

Speaker 1 (58:48):
Yeah, you're right Pulling a Dakota here.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
And according to the Simpsons, those towers are just
full of wigs.
What?

Speaker 1 (59:02):
are in those towers.
I don't know, Wigs I guess Iguess so Because the Simpsons
got everything right Wigs andaliens.
That's just where the aliens go.
I don't know Wigs.
I guess I guess so BecauseSimpsons got everything right
Wigs and aliens, that's justwhere the aliens go to buy their
wigs.
So K and J talked to an aliendog named Frank and told the
galaxy is on Earth and that it'stiny.
But yeah, there's just some.
They're like hey, you want aspinoff?

(59:22):
Yeah, it's like just the greatbit.
Like, don't worry, that dogowes my friend money.
And I love the little quotethat the dog Frank says just
because something is very tinydoesn't mean it's not important.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
That's true.
That's true For all youmicropenises out there.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
My tiny ass heart, it's important to me the little
baby heart, yeah, the baby heart.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Yeah, doctors don't like it.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
I don't know.
Jay and K'fay, jay and K'faywhat the hell?
Jay and K' are confused, butwhen they see Frank bark at a
cat, they know where to find thegalaxy.
Now they're like oh shit, thecat, the cat man.
I wish my cats had the galaxyon them.
Pet the kitty.
Don't know what I'd do with it.
What happens if you break thegalaxy open?

(01:00:08):
Does it just like fall on theground and like-?

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
I don't know, you probably can't break it open.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
Well, it's just an ugly-.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
I know, but those little, those like glass, like-.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Yeah, it's probably made of some sort of special
alien glass.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Yes, but even normal earth glass that we have in that
little globe form is sopowerful you can't even crush it
with a hydraulic press.
Have you seen these?
They're so powerful.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
See these boys, give me anything, I'll break it.
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Take it back.
I'd chew the hell out of it.
If you got a glass ball, youbetter throw it so you can bring
it back.
So Edgar goes into the morgueand threatens Weaver for the cat
.
Its name was Orion, orion'sbelt.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
But he's not even wearing pants.
Good bit, it's a car.
Oh yeah, before this Becauseyou don't call a neck thing a
yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
Well, you know, aliens don't know where you call
the caller you stupid alienperson.
I did.
Our killings are going to come,but before all this I forgot to
mention Edgar.
Comes in.
David Cross is like smashingsome bugs and then, yeah, Edgar
just goes into the ceiling.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
Oh, yeah, he's got a lot of extra goo.
Yeah, he gooey boy Like thecockroaches is goo up playing.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
I don't think so, because I think in Mimic the
same thing happens.
The movie Mimic, oh, guillermodel Toro's first movie, what?

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
was it American movie ?
Wow, first big studio movie.
I don't remember that at all.
It was either Mimic or Mimic 2is one of them.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
Yeah, the studio took the movie away from them and
made them re-edit it andeverything.
You know, like all the bestdirectors end up having it done
to them.
James Cameron, same thing withPiranha 2.
David, what David?

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah , yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
Piranha 2.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Yeah, James.
Yep.
Piranha 2.
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
James Cameron.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Piranhas was so good, they needed a second one.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
It's called the Spawning, the Spawning.
And if you're wondering if thequote from one of the Tremors
movies, they Fly Now, they FlyNow, hell yeah, that could also
have been the quote for Piranha2.
Really, because they got wings,they fly.
Now what?
That's not even a thing.
It's a weird movie.

(01:02:27):
The movie was taken away by theproducers from.
James Cameron oh man, davidFincher, aliens 3.
People really like doingsequels of their first movie.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
Maybe it was taken away from him.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
It's crazy, crazy Anyways.
So Jay enters the morgue andthen discovers that Weaver is
being held hostage by Edgar, butit's like there's this whole
date bit.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
She's like.
I really need you to see this.
I really need you to see this.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
It's like how about you take me out for a coffee?
He's like damn girl, you workfast.
It's like how many times haveyou been neuralized and hit on
me?
And she's obviously like I'mbeing kidnapped.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
He's like what do I?

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
spell it out for you, because eventually the cat
comes up onto the top of agurney that she's hiding behind
and he's like stills, the catgot the gun to her head.
Yeah, so Edgar has like the gunup to Weaver's head.
He's like okay.
He's like let her go shit eater.

(01:03:27):
Oh, listen, monkey boy Comparedto you humans, I don't even got
the voice anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
I've lost the voice.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
I'm on top of the evolutionary ladder, so can it
all right.
Yeah, nice.
Hey, Kate, you're breaking myheart.
Show me your face and I'll cureall your ills.
You ever pull the wings off afly.
You care to see a fly get evenoh it's so funny.
Oh yeah, that's good man.

(01:03:56):
It's just like maybe the bestcinematic character in the
history of the world so good.
I just need to remember.
Anytime someone says what'syour favorite movie villain, I
have to think of Edgar.
Edgar, because he's like one ofthe funniest and he's so
powerful.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
He's a good villain.
It's a great creation.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
So he escapes with Weaver and tells her to take him
to the World's Fair, wherethere are working flying saucers
.
He also eats the galaxy.
Why is?

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
that, yeah, do you think?
Whenever he said, take me tothe world's fair, she's like
what?

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
It's like she has no idea that there's spaceships.
So Kay tells Jay not to worryabout him, since they have his
ship, he can't get off theplanet.
Back at the headquarters, theAcrylians fire a warning shot
and say that they will go to warin an hour.
Like at a galactic hour orsomething that's like yeah, it's
like um well, no, it's like agalactic week but it's an hour

(01:04:53):
for them, yeah, and they're like, um, I think one their their
whole day.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
There was a gag in the in earlier.
Where will smith is like, y'allever get any sleep around here?
He's like, yeah, yeah, we, weswitched to 36 hour days or some
shit.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
Crazy, fuck you man, like you'll go insane for a
little bit.
Um, so they're like questioning, like where's, where's he going
to go to find a ship?
And then Jay's like, uh, hey,old people, because there's a
picture on the wall of theWorld's Fair.
And he's like, what about there?

(01:05:30):
So that's where they're goingto go.
Edgar arrives at the fairbefore Jay and Kay, who are
driving through the Queen'sMidtown Tunnel and manage to zip
past traffic by pressing thered button.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
Hell yeah, he's playing Elvis.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Yeah, it allows the car to go super fast and also go
on the roof Apparently, yeah,it's great.
They're like oh, Elvis isn'tdead.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
He just went off.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
He just went home.
Yeah, edgar drives, dragsWeaver with him while getting
into a saucer, because I'll needa snack and J and K they lock
in fucking low.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Let's go go bugs check in.
Yeah, they don't check out.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
Oh, it's so good.
Hell yeah, man, I love, I justlove a good.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
You know lock and load yeah, lock and load like,
and they even had a goodone-liner.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
good or lame, either one it's great, they're it's
both in, also at the same timeGreat.
But they arrive just in time tosave her.
They shoot down the flyingsaucer.
Edgar takes off in.
You got the whole baseball gamething where the guy's like
trying to catch a ball but thensees the UFO overhead of him.
But it's also you got the lightsgoing through the woods, like
whenever it first lifts off it'sgoing through the.

(01:06:44):
It's also you got the thelights going through the woods,
like whenever it first lifts offit's going through the, it's
lifting off and you can see theshot through the trees.
You know, usually, like whenyou see like fake UFO videos,
they always kind of havesomething like that yeah, it was
just, it was perfectly it wasawesome, it was beautiful as a
UFO boy.
It's beautiful.
And then you also have them.
Once they shoot it down, theUFO crashing and sopping just in

(01:07:06):
time, because Agent K is sogood, he knows when a UFO is
going to crash land and where tostand and they don't move at
all.

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
Yeah, but dude, this shot fucking goes though it's so
good, like the tidal wave ofearth just coming out.
Oh, it's beautiful man it wasbadass.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
I'm not going to lie.
This movie might be 10 out of10.
It's so good.
It actually might be one of myfavorite movies ever made Not
going to lie, it really is.
We don't talk about it and itjust sucks because everything
after it is bad.
I will say Did you watch Men inBlack 3?

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
It's actually pretty good, not like pretty good.
It's good, lowercase g good,but like Josh Brolin yeah he
plays, because it's like a wholetime travel thing.
We go back in time to whenAgent K's young.
It's played by Josh Brolin andhe's so great at being a young
Tommy Lee Jones.
That's young, oh shit, and he'splayed by Josh Brolin and he's

(01:08:07):
so great at being a young TommyLee Jones.
That's awesome.
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
And I remember watching thatone at Home Depot, like we had
in the break room, we had TV.

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
You had TV, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
And they had like direct TV or whatever.
I think they got it freebecause it's depot that's badass
.
This is a great way to spendyour 15 minutes breaks so great
so many, much longer breakstaken because of it um, but like
there's a part of men in blackthree where it's, there's a lot
of like daddy issue stuff in itand it's just like all the guys
you know like they're all kindof they were taking a break,

(01:08:41):
they're all so in tune to thislike daddy issue.
Daddy issue scene and I waslike, wow, I think a lot of
these people might have daddyissues.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
For sure.

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
Oh, snake just farted .
Nice Woo, let's get this overwith then.
So the bug takes Edgar's skinoff.
He reveals his true form he'sjust a giant weird like
centipede cockroach-lookingthing, oh yeah he's terrifying.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
He's just a giant, weird centipede cockroach
looking thing almost.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
Oh yeah, he's terrifying.
He eats their gun, kay does notlike this idea.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
He's got like a slime tongue thing.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
Kay attempts to have the bug eat him so he can get
their guns back, eat me and hedoes.
Eats them right on up, swallowsthem whole.
Good thing he doesn't chew.
He's in there for a long time.
He's in there for a while.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Some stomach acid would get him a little bit, or
you'd think he'd find it.
Yeah, like, how big is thisthing's stomach?

Speaker 1 (01:09:32):
I know right, I don't know.
Well, it's just like the UFOship he's in.
It's just a second ship and hestarts creating a distraction
for the bug.
Jay begins fighting with thebug by stepping on.

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
Well, first, he just gets a shit beat out of him for
a while.
That was awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
Then Jay begins fighting with the bug by
stepping on cockroaches.

Speaker 2 (01:09:54):
Is that your auntie?
Is that your?

Speaker 1 (01:09:55):
auntie.
But then, like, as the bug'sabout to just destroy Jay, yes,
bug explosion.
That was great.
Great Funny thing is Will SmithHated having the slime on him.
Oh, really Hated all the gooand the slime On him.
Tommy Lee Jones Didn't mind it,that was the exact words that

(01:10:18):
he said.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
I didn't really mind it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
That's great, I think , for him.
This had to be really fun ForTommy Lee Jones.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
Hell yeah, man he never really did anything Like
this.

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
This was like his.
I think for him this had to bereally fun for Tommy Lee Jones
Hell yeah, man, he never reallydid anything like this.

Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
This was like his one big, like goofy sci-fi comedy.

Speaker 1 (01:10:34):
He's like, yeah, I get covered in goo one time in
my life I've done so many policeofficer movies.
Okay, I want to be covered ingoo once Goo me, baby Goo me.
Goo me daddy.
So they're all covered in bookslime.
They get the galaxy back anddeliver it to the aliens,

(01:10:55):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
I'm tired of trying to say it.
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
While Jay and Kay are recovering from their battle,
the top half of the alien isstill alive.
The top half of the alien isstill alive, but Weaver shoots
the alien by using Jay's gun,which was dragged out of its
stomach, and tells Jay and Kayhow interesting their jobs are,
surprising both of them.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
I kind of feel bad for her whenever she got thrown
from the top into the tree.
God, that must have hurt likehell.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
She was annoying him so much.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
That's her superpower .
She's probably trying to gethim to go out with her.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
Wow, you have nice brown skin.
Did anybody ever tell you yousmell like trash?
I love it.
That's my favorite way.
That's my favorite smell.
So as the men in black crewcontainment crew cleans up the
situation, kay tells Jay toneuralyze him.
No, it's like the severancesuicide, yeah, so he wasn't

(01:11:55):
training a partner, but rather areplacement.
It's been like two days.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:12:03):
He's not ready, he has said zero.

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
He's had very little training.
He probably doesn't even knowwhere the's not ready.
He has said zero he's had verylittle training.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
He probably doesn't even know where the bathroom is
yet, because he walks in there.
They're like all right, you gotto leave.
And he's like okay.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
Well, I think the suit has like a built-in
bathroom.
Yeah, probably yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
The suit's much bigger than you think.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
This is the last thing you'll ever wear, because
you can't take it off.
You can't take it off.
Actually, they stitch it intoyour skin.

Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
So Jay accepts and Kay is neuralized and Weaver
joins the MIB as an Agent L.
Then we see, then we go into,we like zoom out and keep
zooming out and keep zooming out, and keep zooming out and then
we see that we are just marblesbeing played with by bigger
alien creatures that's the realstory.

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
Yeah, that's what's real.
So our universe is inside ofthe universe which is inside of
a universe which is inside ofthe universe, which is inside of
the universe, because we'reprobably just tiny little atoms
for some.

Speaker 1 (01:13:00):
Yeah, dumb ass dumbass creature.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
We're just unimportant specks in this huge
universe.

Speaker 1 (01:13:10):
I fucking love it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
It's like everything in this movie is kind of perfect
.

Speaker 1 (01:13:14):
Yeah, it's so fun, Even the ending where it's just
like hey, guess what you know?
Like maybe your atoms havefucking personalities and talk
to the other atoms.
Guess what?
That's what you are?
Yeah, you're just this fuckingspeck.
Guess what?
That's what you are?
Yeah, You're just this.
We're something that's Adams of.
Another thing that's Adams ofanother, everything's
meaningless.

(01:13:34):
All I hope is when I die, I getto see everything.
I want to know what everythingis.
Oh yeah, that would be yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
Oh, we die.
We just go to like a Googleyeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
That would be ultimate Google.
Yeah, oh, we die.
We just go to like a Googlebrowser.
That's where we live, oh, no,no.
Well, P-O-R-N-H-U-B.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
They still have that here.
Yeah, no, it's blocked.
No, where's a VPN?

Speaker 1 (01:14:05):
But I don't know how we got there.

Speaker 2 (01:14:07):
But anyways, that's Men in Black, we're going to hit
our first category for themovie the good, the bad, the
ugly, the fine.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
It's where we discuss the good of the film, something
we like.
The bad, something we didn'tlike.
The ugly, something we thoughtdidn't age well.
The fine something that did agewell.
What is your good?
Just the weirdness, the creativeweirdness, the creative, uh,
weirdness that they made andjust great like how well, like I
mean for you know, like ufobuffs and stuff, you know,

(01:14:34):
whenever they think of thingsit's like, oh, that could be
like a ufo actually, like withthe world's fair, it's like,
whoa, those look like um yeah,they kind of look like ufos or
like the space needle and uh, inseattle, seattle, it's like
that looks like a ufo and likeyou know there's, I'm sure
there's like some post on reddit.
It's like do you think this isactually a ufo?
Fuck?
Yeah, it is, and it's likethat's so great that they're

(01:14:57):
like hey, yeah, this is whatpeople would think on like these
uh reddit boards and it's like,hey, we have a whole movie
about it.
Yeah, hell yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
And it's probably because, like most alien stuff
is that we know it comes frommovies anyways yeah, it's all
from movies, because like, notlike uh something of the third
kind, like that's when everybodygot the same idea all of a
sudden about what aliens looklike whenever Well, it's like
whenever they saw the first likesaucer, like the movie that had

(01:15:27):
, like the first flying saucerall of a sudden, there's UFOs
everywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
Now we're seeing saucers, yeah.
But then you like see oldpaintings and stuff and it's
like why is that an alien?

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
Why is this?

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
a normal human picture.
And then all of a suddenthere's a ship in the sky,
because it's just what ourbrains can fathom.
Yeah, it's like who knows what,this fucking painter who's
probably on like just eatingopioid plants or popping seeds,
constantly high as fuck ate amushroom that day and painted I
was finished his painting ate amushroom.

(01:16:00):
I was like, oh, I got an idea.
Wait a second.
What if I put weird stuff onhere too?
Hell yeah, man, my good, wasthe concept, kind of essentially
what you said, and Will andTommy Lee Jones are a perfect
pair.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
They really were.
They're amazing.
So good together.

Speaker 1 (01:16:14):
It's a great classic buddy cop combination.

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
Yeah, it kind of puts a spin on the whole buddy cop
thing.
Yeah, with the alien.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
And it's just like it with the alien and it's just
like it's so fun, it's wild andit's such.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
You know, I'll save it for the bad.
Alright, the bad.
What do you have?
For the bad there's not reallya whole lot of bad.
I think there are just likepractical effects that they
tried to do the car thing.

Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
Yeah, I thought the CGI was kind of fine.
Yeah, the CGI was fine.
It wasn't great, but it waspretty good for 96.
Yeah, it was great.
It was fun.
Mine was a car speeding up thecar it looked terrible.
Of course, really bad, yeah,because even their heads in the
vehicle were like going superfast, and also the fact that
they did not give the femalecharacter anything to do?

Speaker 2 (01:17:04):
Just sexual innuendos .
Character anything to do?
Oh, just sexual innuendos.
Yeah, that's like her wholerole was just like sexual
innuendos.
That's all her role was.

Speaker 1 (01:17:11):
she's a sex object, that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
I mean at least they gave her.

Speaker 1 (01:17:13):
You know the like she gets to actually kill the bug,
which was fun.
That was cool kind of redeeming.
Yeah, this is like she's gonnaplay a pretty big part in it.
We're like we didn't knowanything about her, except she
wants to go on dates with WillSmith.
She really does.
She loves dead people.
Yeah, and for the ugly, Ididn't really have anything bad.

Speaker 2 (01:17:32):
No, there's nothing, really no, yeah, maybe I guess
you could say the whole illegalalien thing at the beginning.

Speaker 1 (01:17:41):
I think that's a good joke.

Speaker 2 (01:17:42):
I mean it is a good joke.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
I'm just I'm just grasping at straws here.
I didn't think it was reallyToo offensive.
This is a play on words, noyeah, yeah sure.
If they were all aliens, then Imight I don't even know If that
would have been offensive.
That would have been funnier.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
I don't know, but it was.

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
You know this was a good set up.
Yeah, it was it, you know.
Just, no matter what,throughout life we will
constantly be having to hearabout the border.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
I don't illegal, yes, forever.

Speaker 1 (01:18:11):
Ever going to hear about for the rest of our lives.
Yep, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:18:15):
I really don't like how they handled the cat.
Yeah, they mishandled they.
They were like Edgar was likepet it the wrong way.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
His tail was twitching.
Did you way?
Yeah, his tail was twitching,did you know?

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
no, cockroaches were harmed on the set of this movie.
Fucking bullshit.
Why not, bro?
Pete'll be out.
Pete is gonna be out, your door.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
Those roaches, those madagascar roaches, were like a
thousand dollars a piece.

Speaker 1 (01:18:37):
Man, he cannot squish those for real I bet, yeah,
they probably were veryexpensive things and plus know
what?
You can't kill actualcockroaches on set.
It's like, hey, you put themthere.
It's like killing a roach inyour house, but it's like, hey,
you put us here, don't step onme.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
Those could have been the ones that are so clean you
could eat them.

Speaker 1 (01:18:57):
Yeah, so maybe they ate them.
We should watch Fear Factor.
Oh no, we should just do like aday where we just like stream
us watching Fear Factor.
Gross, all right.
Last one the Fine Somethingthat aged well I put effects and
how fun the aliens look, fuckyeah, man Aliens and the music

(01:19:18):
video.
Yeah, oh, we didn't even talkabout how good the Men in Black
song is Been in my head eversince we watched it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
It's a really good song.
It's wild, it's so catchy.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
They're all dancing, yeah, I used to love that shit.
I actually have somethingthat's kind of ugly, so shit.
Who did the music for this?
He does all like the Tim Burtonmusic stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):
Music Danny Elfman.
So Danny Elfman did the musicfor this.
What?

Speaker 1 (01:19:51):
Yeah, I thought I remember this score being like
super popular and like specialDude.

Speaker 2 (01:19:57):
I don't, I don't remember anything about the
music the time that I popped up,except for the music video at
the end.
Yeah, like for a Danny Elfmanscore, not that great Because,
yeah, music really wasn't like abig part of it.
There were like a few timeswhere you hear the music swell
in the background and like goodfor like strong moments, but
like that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
Yeah, I remember I was looking at facts.
People were like, oh yeah, theiconic score for this film.
I was like what.

Speaker 2 (01:20:23):
Yeah we need Danny Elfman to make a French horn
play loud in the back for asecond.
Yeah, it was very memorable.

Speaker 1 (01:20:30):
All right, we're gonna hit our next category
Double feature.
It's where we recommend a movieto go alongside this movie.
What you got.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
Well, it made me think of Tommy Lee Jones, so I
thought of.
One of his other ridiculousmovies is Volcano where it's
like disaster movie with avolcano like kind of shows up in
like the middle of somewhereit's like LA or some shit, but

(01:21:00):
it's so dumb.
It's funny because it's so dumband it sucks seeing Tommy Lee
Jones having to play dumb yeah,and it's funny because it's so
dumb, yeah, and it sucks seeingTommy Lee Jones having to play
in this like a serious characterin this dumb ass movie.

Speaker 1 (01:21:13):
Yeah, I've always wanted to watch it.
There's another volcano movie.
I can't remember what it'scalled.
I think it's got Pierce Brosnanin it yes, point.

Speaker 2 (01:21:23):
Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about yeah,
mine was Hellboy.

Speaker 1 (01:21:27):
Yeah, because it's essentially this movie, but
different hell.
Yeah, I want to watch itbecause there's like the secret
society of all these likecreatures and stuff, all the
weird ass creatures, yeah, thisnormal world they're trying to
stop.
Like some of them are gettingout into the world and he's
gotta like stop them and thingslike that oh yeah, I love his,
his fucking sawed off shotgunpistol thing.

(01:21:47):

army that one's really good.
Fuck.

Yeah, it's guillermo del torobaby that's so good.
That's why ron perlman's thelead, the man with all the face.

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
I remember jurors, the enemy at the gates, with him
uh-uh uh, he's in it for abrief moment where he's and he's
like he gets shot in the facegod damn it we need some of that
face, but he's good at that onelike for as long as r as he's
