Alec, Mattson and JJ dive into the absurdity and comedic brilliance of the film "Weekend at Bernie's," a cinematic exploration of two individuals who attempt to maintain the illusion of life surrounding a deceased colleague. The central theme revolves around the juxtaposition of life and death, as the characters navigate a series of increasingly ridiculous situations while attempting to keep the charade alive. We engage in a thorough analysis of the film's humor, its cultural implications, and the dynamics of friendship amidst chaos. Our discourse also reflects on the societal tendencies to overlook the morbid in pursuit of social acceptance, revealing a deeper commentary on human behavior and the nature of relationships. Join us as we dissect this cult classic and contemplate its lasting impact on comedy and film.

It.
So you just go with the flow.
You don't want to be the oneto, you know, cause a wave or a scene
or an issue.
Now I will say I wouldn't be.
Surprised if they all knew hewas dead, but just went along with
it because nobody wanted.
Out.
(00:22):
Welcome to the what's upPodcast where we fashion ourselves
cinematic judge and jury.
My name is J.J.
crowder.
I'm here with my co hosts, Matzenheimer.
You know, am I excited to behere in this one?
We'll find out.
Better red than dead.
And Alec Burgess.
What a communist attitude.
Let's get it.
We appreciate you tuning in.
Go hit that follow subscribelike bell notification button.
(00:44):
Keep up with all of our episodes.
Tell a friend about us.
Tell a family member about us.
I mean, you can tell a deadrelative about us if you want.
Or dead friend or, you know, no.
Ghosts, no spirits, no nothing.
Yeah, I was gonna say, Alec,you popping out your Ouija board?
No.
That's one thing I'll never do.
You know, it's funny.
This is totally not relevantto this movie.
(01:06):
I mean, I guess there's a deadbody, but the whole like, say Bloody
Mary three times with the mirror.
I still think about that,like, fairly often.
I'm like, I should do that.
I shouldn't do that.
I'll never do that.
I still haven't because I'mnot dumb enough to do it.
But, like, nothing's gonna happen.
But something could happen.
But a Ouija board?
That's something I'd never.
No, not never ever.
(01:26):
Would never.
Could never.
Nope.
No, thank you.
I've done both, but that's foranother time.
Yeah, another.
That one movie.
Didn't we review that one movie?
The hand movie where they heldthe hand.
Whatever.
Like, talk to me.
I'm sure I would have donethat, like, in my early 20s against
my will, but, like, I wouldnever have been like, the person.
I do dumb stuff, but that'ssomething I need like a JJ to be.
(01:49):
Like, let's do this.
And I was gonna say you'd bein trouble because I would do that.
Right?
Yeah.
But Alex, we all.
We know.
We all know.
Ale Alex.
Alex out on but.
So that begs the question.
I know Jay's is gonna talkabout this movie, so I'm very curious
how you would have operatedamongst this dead body and in the
phobias and stuff that comewith that because you're very like,
again, out of that stuff.
(02:09):
But this might have just beenfunny for you and you just would
addict with it.
I'm curious.
We'll talk about that.
We'll talk about it.
But first I gotta give us ashameless plug about our Patreon.
Because speaking of deadbodies, where I did ask the group
to give us some like one.
Oh, no, we have no, we haveno, we have less shame and care a
(02:32):
little bit less over on Patreon.
So if you want to see someadditional funny content that's even
more inappropriate, go checkit out there with that too.
Like, I did pose the question,you know, we had the vote for July,
which we're working on hereand that soon.
And then I asked, hey, give ussome topics.
And it was mentioned thatOctober's coming again soon.
(02:56):
Yeah.
So I didn't commit toanything, but it was asked whether
or not we were going to dosome more horror movies for October.
I know that there are severalissues with that on both fronts.
One, Alec is Alec.
And two, last time Matt's hadgotten a little bit of trouble from
bringing bad juju to thehouse, I guess, but which by proxy
(03:17):
means I got in trouble.
Those, those things have to bewatched in secret a little bit more
in.
In the daylight.
And it's very hard to do thosethings nowadays with kids and schedules
and things and.
Yeah, if that happens again,Jay, you can guarantee you will get
yelled at and probably yelledat in person here real soon too,
so.
(03:37):
Probably true.
You already, you already got,you already got one on you.
You don't.
You don't need another.
I'm sold.
If JJ's getting yelled at,let's do it.
I will definitely get right.
But you'll have a handheld PCyou can watch it on in secret.
So.
So with all of that said, weare in our final week of June.
(03:59):
That's crazy to even think about.
And we're ready to rock androll with our final summer kickoff
movie, that being Weekend at Bernie's.
It was released and I was unprepared.
July 5, 1989.
It was written by Robert Kleinand it was directed by Todd Ted Kachif.
(04:21):
And it stars Andrew McCarthy,Jonathan Silverman, Catherine Mary
Stewart, Terry Kaiser, DonKalfa, Katherine Parks, Eloise DeJoria
and Greg Salata.
It's about two idiots try topretend that they're a murdered employee.
Employer is really alive,leaning the hitman to attempt to
track him down to finish him off.
(04:42):
That's such a brilliant synopsis.
What else is there to thismovie with that Alec?
This was a you movie.
So I'm curious as to why itended up on our June list.
This was A movie.
It might have been a me movie.
I thought I wasn't.
It wasn't a me movie.
Yeah, I only got the.
The first movie.
(05:04):
Oh, that's right, I did.
It was a me movie and it.
Was a new movie.
Yeah, that's how much this isa you movie that I give you credit
for picking this movie.
But I'll take it.
You know, it's all braggingrights at the end.
Sure.
I mean, look, it's also a me movie.
Like, this is a.
This was a staple, especiallyin my teenage years, for summer.
(05:25):
Like, we had to watch Weekendat Bernie's because it's, you know,
I mean, one of the opening scenes.
I love, like, how stupid itis, but it's very relatable if you've
lived in Arizona or somewherethat just gets miserable hot.
Like the melted, like, asphalton the roof.
Like his shoes.
And then like, the ledger thatthey got the all over.
(05:46):
Like, it's just.
I love it.
And I love that the synopsisin here just calls them two idiots.
Like, to me, that's why I lovethis movie and why I picked it.
One, it's summertime.
It happens in the summer.
It's all about it.
It was released in summer backin the day.
But two, like, it's just.
There's no expectation ofanything other than what this movie
(06:08):
is.
And.
And from a perspective ofentertainment, like, if you like
just silly, goofy, over thetop makes, like, you can sit and
go, that's the dumbest I'veever seen.
But consider who we'rewatching, do stuff right.
And, like, it just fits and it works.
(06:29):
And it shouldn't work in myopinion, but it does work.
And it will always make melaugh for the dumbest reasons and
make me feel like I'm kind ofan idiot for thinking it's as funny
as that it is.
And as I laugh because it'sreally, at the end of the day, not
great from a, like, content perspective.
It didn't take a genius to putthis together.
(06:49):
But all.
I laugh a lot at this moviestill to this day.
And I've seen it a thousand times.
So, yeah, that's why I picked it.
And I was glad it got voted on.
I think that alone means thatwe're doing something right.
You and Alec.
All right.
Matt's in poo poo before wewill sandwich it between two pauses.
(07:09):
Like, again, I think I saidthis last podcast, if this is something
that I had grown up with andhad that nostalgia feel like the.
This movie doesn't take itself seriously.
And it, I mean, it can't, it shouldn't.
And I.
And I understand and I get that.
And that's where, like, if Ihad seen this late childhood, early
(07:29):
teen, mid teen, that was mything, like, I'm sure I'd feel differently
about this movie.
I just don't have that connection.
And I.
Our audience that listens tous, this is like the kind of the
Bill and Ted thing for me.
I just don't have that whenit's so in your face and dumb and
just like the suspension of disbelief.
(07:52):
I don't know, like, it just doesn't.
It doesn't land for me the waythat I know it does for other people,
like jj.
Like, I.
I know if I was even sittingnext to J.J.
like, he might be laughing,but it's like I'd just be laughing
because Jay's laughing.
But it's really like, it's notthat funny to me.
Like, this movie should justbe like a.
Like an SNL short or somethingand not a hour and a half long movie.
(08:15):
It's just.
It didn't land for me, but it.
Like, I can't believe theymade a number two.
Maybe I'll just leave it at that.
That's great.
Alec, what about you, buddy?
Oh, I.
I think this movie is genius.
And the.
In a very kind of specific way.
So with a lot of movies, whatyou have is got foreground and background,
(08:38):
and you're supposed to payattention to what happens in the
foreground, but the backgroundis almost irrelevant.
This movie, the entire screenis being purposed.
Foreground, background,everything that has something going
on.
And it all ties in beautifully.
And so there's little nuancesthat are happening all throughout
(08:59):
that if you're just watchingthe movie, you're going to miss.
And it's just at all levels ofthe screen, there's something going
on that's entertaining, funny,or just flat out stupid.
But putting context witheverything else around it is brilliant.
(09:19):
And so I totally enjoywatching this movie.
But my favorite thing is, andI don't even know if it's actually
Terry Kiser, who's just Berniethe entire time, but there's.
There's moments where you cantell it's Terry Kaiser.
Like, dude, this guy had theeasiest fucking job.
Just sit there and act dead.
(09:40):
Okay.
Yeah, well, and like, theeasiest job, but the hardest too,
because, like, the amount of,like, physical exertion that he has
to, like, avoid, like, whenthey're pulling him, like, he had
to have been just horrified sometimes.
(10:01):
Like, I don't know how he kepthis face normal.
Like, I don't.
Like, there's so many thingslike the way he plays that.
And I know that there was likea, a doll, a dummy version that they
did for like the over the topstunts and.
But most of like the adjustinghim and like the movement, like,
that was all him and he justhad to be limp and like, I can't
(10:23):
imagine, like a more difficultthing as an actor than to just be
like, don't react or you haveto be completely limp at all times.
Like, that'd be wild.
Especially with AndrewMcCarthy who is probably spending
most of this time trying toget you to break.
Oh yeah.
Oh, y.
Watching interviews with ofthem talking about this movie like,
(10:46):
you know, they had a ball.
Like, just.
Yeah, because they just did it.
Seemingly did whatever theywanted, which fit within the vein
in this movie.
And they somehow figured out away to stretch it to the amount of
time needed to make a movie.
Well, and I think that's whereI love when you Alec that you say
it's genius.
Like, this is to me anothercase of like, just wildly intelligent
(11:11):
stupid humor.
Like, it's so dumb and overthe top and they knew this is the
dumbest idea we've ever had.
However, the comedy in it isso smart because they're so dumb.
Like, even these guys who arelike trying and it's funny because
they pinpointed even Bernie's.
Like, these morons, I'm goingto blame them.
(11:32):
Like, I'm gonna set them up tofind it and then they're gonna be
my scapegoats and they'rejust, they're too stupid to even
realize, like, they think thatthey're on to something and they've
gotten set up and then onaccident, like, this whole thing
just plays into like, well, wegot he needs to be alive.
(11:52):
And like, it comes down likemy favorite line.
Well, maybe not my favorite,but one of my favorite lines is like,
what kind of host invites youto his place for the weekend and
then dies?
Like, it just, it's like deaddude, and you're pissed he's dead.
It just the audacity just upand die on our weekend.
(12:13):
Seriously, it's so great,like, how ridiculous it is.
And yet the moments that theyhave the comedy are so brilliantly
timed and written.
And then of course, I'm suread libbed and you know, stuff from
some of these actors.
It's just like to me, I sitand watch and go, man, what a stroke
(12:35):
of genius to do something so stupid.
But you fully committed to it,and you did it so well that I'm just
sitting here laughing my assoff the whole time.
Yeah, well, the other thingis, Bernie's the dead guy in this,
but he's not even the victim.
Yeah, the victim is Paulie Freaking.
(12:58):
Who pulls off a flawless hitand then spends the rest of the movie
second guessing.
Yeah.
So good.
Every time.
Because he's like, you know,it's set.
It's set up by the mostbeautiful line where it's like, you
know, I'm a little rusty, butI could probably come out and do
it.
Yeah.
The entire rest of the moviejust as a one running after another
(13:20):
with, again, these two idiots.
And.
Yeah.
So poor Paulie's the entirevictim, this whole process, and he's
not even died.
What does it say about thetype of parties Bernie throws?
Or when he goes to parties?
That is all his friends think,oh, this is just him.
He's silent, chilling, never moving.
Wears the same clothes for,like, two or three days.
(13:42):
Like, what is this dude juststoned out of his mind for multiple
days when he's there?
And that's just what he does.
I'm like, dude's got tocommunicate at some point.
Apparently not, though.
Or all of his friends are justas dumb and delusional as he is.
Sold a Porsche for 50 grand.
I'm just gonna.
Hey, man, drugs makeeverything easier to deal with.
(14:07):
Oh, man.
Well, and that's.
I think that's the other partthat I want to not laugh at when
I watch this movie.
But.
And I'm not.
I don't know, it's kind oflike the whole, like, physical comedy
to me, especially physicalcomedy that shouldn't be funny tends
to be more funny.
(14:28):
And that's like, why I loveCharlie Chaplin, like, his physical
comedy.
The things that he does withhis body and the thing.
So the things that they dowith Bernie that you're like, how
does nobody notice this?
Like, to me, that internally is.
Is because it's so ridiculous.
It makes it so funny to me towatch the oblivious people.
To your point, Matson, it'slike, ah, it's just Bernie.
(14:49):
You know what I mean?
Like, he's just.
He just does that stuff.
Like, it's so ridiculous thatthere's no way that anybody be like.
But then I have to.
In my head, I'm instantlyimagining, what does that group of
people actually look like?
Like, if Bernie wasn't deadand they were having this party and
for them to go, ah, it's just Bernie.
Like, what A boring party, at least.
(15:11):
Like with Bernie, but.
Or is he just, like, a voyeurand he wants to watch everybody do
drugs and get drunk and dodumb, which I'm also down for.
Like, that can be entertaining.
So it's just, like, it makesme question, like, the whole situation
and who Bernie was and thenthe fact that he's got these mob
connections, and you're like,what the hell?
But he's smart enough to bescared about his connections to the
(15:33):
mob and that he, you know, sohe's got to lay the.
It's someone else's feet.
I just think there's so muchhigh intelligence that's mixed with
so much just ridiculous dumb that.
That combination makes me laugh.
Sorry, I didn't think aboutany of those things because this
movie is not making you thinkof high.
High intelligence, communist movie.
(15:53):
It tells you right up frontthis is a dumb movie.
You're dumb for watching it.
And don't do any introspectionabout the character.
But he's been dead.
He's a flopping fish, andthey're just propping them up, and
he stinks.
After two days, like, oh, my gosh.
I just go.
Not learning nothing from thismovie, J.J.
not one thing.
(16:13):
I thought about all the things J.J.
thought about.
No.
Yeah.
But no.
What I win is, have you guysever been around someone who's rich
or seen how people act aroundsomeone who's rich?
Nobody's telling them anythingthat's agreeing with everything that
they're doing.
You don't want to be left offthe list.
And so I had no problem withpeople, you know, just kind of going
(16:34):
with the flow because theydon't want to not be invited to the
next party.
We could.
We could say some stuff thatmight get us canceled right now with
that lead in.
But I will.
I'll refer from.
Everybody who's watching knowswhat I'm talking about.
I'll refrain from aiming somerich individual that we.
Yeah, a lot of people could beon that list.
(16:55):
Hey, but that's the thing.
Like, you can hear it evenfrom, like, ex sports players.
I mean, I'm not saying you'rewrong, though.
Right.
Where their entourage does notdo anything except agree.
Yes.
You want.
You.
You want those handouts tokeep coming your way.
Exactly.
You stand close to the sun,you're gonna get a little bit of
heat off it.
So you just go with the flow.
(17:16):
You don't want to be the oneto, you know, cause a wave or a scene
or an issue.
Now, I will say I wouldn't be.
Surprised if they all knew hewas dead, but just went along with
it because nobody wanted.
Out.
Well, he had a nice place.
This I will give him in spades.
Very jealous.
Want to know where that.
(17:36):
Did they actually film this?
Where.
I wonder where they actuallyfilmed it.
But I want that house.
Yeah, beautiful.
I don't know where they filmed it.
I didn't look.
North Carolina, I think.
Doesn't it say, I mean,obviously somewhere with a beach,
but really, let's see.
Where they filmed it.
I would just say that was theother thing I wanted to talk about
is like, how interesting it islike in our time to go back and watch
(17:59):
a movie like this with thatperspective in mind of like, there's
a lot of people that areactually no longer safe from all
the shenanigans and crazy wildthat they got up to.
And then you get these likemagic lists of people that attended
(18:21):
parties and you're like, well,how in deep.
How deep in.
Were they going to these parts?
Because I mean, like you said,Bernie's what a party.
And it's not like peopledidn't know about it because that's
like one of their motivationsof these two knuckleheads, like digging
in and getting so excitedabout this discrepancy that they've
been set up to find is they'relike, oh, we're gonna get an in,
(18:44):
we're gonna get our move upthe ladder and now we're gonna get
invited to Bernie parties andother places and we're gonna fight.
You know what I mean?
So, like made it.
Yeah, exactly.
And so it's like, man, it's a,it's an interesting commentary now.
And I'm sure that, look, ifyou're in Hollywood, like, because
we know a lot of times theHollywood is where all the call outs
(19:06):
are coming from.
So like, if you're inHollywood, maybe they.
Maybe this was a truecommentary to a certain degree before
we were ready to hear aboutthe issues that have been going on
in Hollywood to that extent.
But I mean, it's a, it's aninteresting insight when you think
about the situations that alot of people are in these days for
sure.
Moving forward because youknow there's some shady going on
(19:28):
amongst the rich because.
We'Ve seen it 100 and Alec,you were correct.
North Carolina.
Bald Head Island.
Bald Head Island.
I didn't know such a place existed.
Does now there's some weirdnamed places I'd have to pull up.
I just shipped some stuff to aplace that I, I Saw.
(19:51):
Gosh, I'm trying to remember.
Even the mailman, when I.
The mail place, when I took itto get it scanned and shipped out,
like, he was like, I didn'tknow about this city.
I was like, me neither.
Whether it's.
Yeah.
Because it was probably namedby someone in Weekend at Bernie's.
They're just like, we're justgonna f.
With this town.
Or they probably have stupidlynamed streets as well.
(20:14):
People come up with streetnames sometimes.
Like, maybe just maybe justdon't do that.
I mean, maybe not.
Like, yeah, stick to something normal.
Maybe think it through at thevery least, because, yeah, it's gonna
bother me.
But it was.
I was like, that's anunfortunate name for a city.
Like, someone actually did that.
(20:35):
You like the.
The dad popping in on the.
The steamy scene.
I mean, it's funny becauseit's relatable, you know, like, you're
like, that's uncomfortable.
Even if it never.
Because I'm.
I don't know.
Is that something like, thatever happened to the two of you?
(20:55):
Oh, I.
Not to that.
Not to that extent, but tryingto think.
It's far less risque.
But it was highly embarrassing.
I was a sophomore, and thiswill be funny for you, jj, because,
you know, this person, Martin.
I was dating Martin's sister,who was a senior at the time, and
(21:18):
I couldn't drive yet, so I wasin the passenger seat of their Toyota
Tacoma, and for whateverreason, and this one was, like, during
the day, so, like, wasn'tsuper late.
It was, like, probably, likearound dinner time or something.
I don't know what was goingon, but we started making out a little
bit.
Like, not supposed.
Not something that wassupposed to turn into anything because
(21:40):
I was gonna get out, then allof a sudden hear a knock on the.
What was the window and turnlike, oh, my gosh, it's my mom.
Like, oh, no.
You're like, this is just weird.
Like, awkward.
Just very awkward.
And my mom's like, prettygoody two shoes.
She wasn't just like, youknow, not super happy about all that.
(22:01):
But it.
Like, it's fine.
But it was awkward.
It happened one more time.
I don't remember the secondtime, but, yeah, that I definitely
felt.
I still remember how it felt.
Like, it was very awkward.
Just one of those, like, damnit, Mom.
Yeah, it's a weird.
Yeah.
I've never.
Never had it happen to whereit's like.
(22:24):
Like, I had to happen withsome, like, personal time when I
was younger, but never coupledup program.
I think the closest.
Like, my dad used to, like,enjoy making weird.
Shocker.
I mean, that's.
My dad and I are very similar.
Less so now that he's older.
But, like, when I was in high.
School, I was gonna say, jj'sgot to get these shenanigans from
(22:47):
somebody.
Yeah, no, my dad.
My dad's funny because he'sthe guy that, like, everybody wanted.
Like, all my friends werelike, yeah, we'll go to JJ's because
JJ's dad's funny.
And we liked it.
Like, they were, like, hangingout with my dad as much as they did
me.
I was like, what the.
But my dad loved to make alittle weird.
Like, and he didn't have a problem.
So, like, I remember one timeI had a bunch of friends over and
(23:08):
a girl I was dating at thetime stayed after a few people had
left.
And here in this house, like,in the basement, which is where I
was at at the time, we had aTV and I had like this whole living
room area.
And then there was like thisold shitty dimmer switch, like, that
had like the different buttonsfor the different level of light.
(23:28):
And so everybody had leftexcept this girl I was dating.
We were sitting down to watcha movie, and of course we were going
to make out and hang out and whatnot.
Well, my dad, I was like,basically, my dad had been down there
with all my friends.
They all left.
And I was like, looking at mydad, like, time for you to leave.
So he finally gets up to leave.
He walks over to Light.
He's like, here, let me, letme help out with the lighting for
(23:49):
the movie.
And so he goes down to like,all these.
There was like, six buttonsand he hits the next one down and
he goes, oh, we need a littlemore mood than that.
A little more mood than that.
And like, I'm sitting theregoing, oh, my God, dad.
Like.
And of course, like, thisgirl's, like, sitting there uncomfortable
because we both know we'regonna make out.
But my.
She's like, yeah, but yourdad's, like, almost encouraging.
(24:11):
Well, he gets to the bottomand turns the lights all the way
off and he's like, oh, that'stoo much mood.
And then goes back up a switch.
So like, my dad, that.
And that's just one exampleof, like, George's full on opportunities
to embarrass the.
Out of anyone that I knew andmyself included.
And it's one of the reasonsthat it's very hard to make me uncomfortable
(24:34):
and to embarrass me because mydad did such A fine job.
My whole childhood that I grewup to go, look, it can't be any worse
than the my dad did.
So it's rare that I getembarrassed, but thankfully never
for full on adult activities.
I always made sure I wasn't inmy house for that reason because
(24:57):
I just didn't want to dealwith that.
Oh, yeah, I never, like, itwas very rare that anything like
that ever went down in my basement.
I can think of only a hand.
Not even that.
Maybe like twice or.
Because I, you know, I won.
I wasn't dumb enough to letthat happen.
Nope.
Yeah, it's a little.
It's a little awkward.
(25:17):
Funniest thing that happenedwith anything like that is I used
to get bloody noses, like allthe time that they wanted to cauterize
my nose.
Making out the girl and thingswere starting to happen and I just
all of a sudden.
And dude, all over her faceand her chest, it's like.
(25:38):
And we're not talking.
Like, I got him quick, like fast.
It wasn't like drops.
It was like, wow, that killedthe mood immediately.
Yeah, I like, like, it lookedlike Braveheart style.
Like.
No, that's no good, dude.
(25:59):
Yeah.
Wow, Great story.
That's.
That's the most of it.
Yeah, like, it was bad.
Like, it was, it was.
It was very messy and.
Oh, bad.
Like, that relationship didn'tlast much longer.
She went on a mission.
Oh, there you go.
That'll do it every time.
In fact, I think that was thelast time too, because she was going
(26:20):
on a mission and it was funny.
I was like, yeah, that.
Yeah, a bad never happenedsince don't really get bloody noses
anymore.
I'm really glad I didn'tcauterize my nose.
I was like a walking hazard myhalf of my senior year.
Like a dude.
I have other stories of mynose, but my goodness, like, it was
(26:41):
bad.
Like, that's funny.
It's embarrassing.
Thankfully that that girl wasfrom college days, so no one, like
none of my actual friendsbarely knew her that well because
of that story got out.
I mean, that would have never.
My friends never would havelet the end of that happen back then.
So I love that the last threeweeks of this podcast just been like,
trauma unpacking.
(27:01):
I know, right?
How is it, how is it that oursummer kickoff movies turned into,
like, embarrassing stories?
And I'll give.
I'll give our audience onemore because this feels like a dumb
Weekend at Bernie's thing.
So this was junior year.
We were at a party and mybuddy Mike Frouke, he Can take claim
for this.
For whatever reason.
(27:22):
I don't even know how thisstarted happening.
I was sitting in a chair, Willsay three or four feet from him.
And it was like very dark inthis basement.
There's music maybe.
I don't know if there was likea strobe light effect or anything,
but where we were at, like, Icouldn't see much.
Like, it was like pretty dang dark.
For whatever reason.
I don't even.
I don't even know how this happened.
(27:43):
My buddy Mike got his hands ona six pound medicine ball.
Don't ask me where this.
I don't.
This girl in Chantilly.
I guess her.
Somebody worked out downstairs.
He had it.
He was tossing it like betweenhis hands.
I didn't see it.
Had no idea.
And then all of a sudden,like, any great dude is like, hey,
Hiner, catch.
Oh, God.
(28:04):
Me.
Like most dudes, how do we sitin chairs?
We don't sit.
Tight legs.
We're not cramping.
We're not.
We're not cramping the balls.
We're letting them.
We're letting them breathe.
We're letting them be easy.
And so all of a sudden I amtalking to someone else.
And I vividly remember thisbecause I couldn't see anything.
But I turned, I heard his.
I knew where he, like, he was.
And I turned to his voice half.
(28:26):
Like eight, half a secondlater, one eighth of a second later,
just.
Just the worst smush.
And I've.
I've gotten some really badsack taps.
Like, very, very bad.
Never in my life, even to thisday, nothing.
And I've been hit with alacrosse ball that nothing has come
close to this six poundmedicine ball.
Because he.
(28:46):
He told me later, he.
He lobbed it up, like up intothe air.
Like, give you more time tocatch it.
What a nice.
Just square.
Like, I mean, he hit.
He didn't.
Like, you know how you get hit?
Like right, like right sack, left.
Like, no, just.
Just these sand pancakes.
Like the turtle from a coupleweeks ago, dude.
And I like, I, man, I don'tremember all the feelings, but I
(29:11):
remember it was.
It was a long time later.
I was worried, like, I wasworried about my pee situation.
Like, the system.
I got some ice.
I went out, I had like someice pack.
I went into the back of thatperson's house, like by the shrub,
just to see if I could tinkle.
Thankfully, with a lot of fear.
(29:31):
Took me a while to pee becauseI was worried that I was going to
see blood.
It worked.
We were fine.
I Was very mad at my friendthe rest of the night just beside
myself.
And I have.
We'll probably say this fornext podcast.
I actually won't work withnext month.
But he got me again later on adifferent thing.
But that was one of the mostpainful thing.
(29:52):
And I've been tased and thatvideo is crazy.
But that was so painful.
And I can imagine that couldhave happened that weekend at Bernie's
and I would have never.
I was never the same from it.
I'm terrified of medicine balls.
Yeah, that's.
Funny story, by the way.
And I feel almost bad for yourballs other than I would have been
laughing my ass off.
Oh you.
Dude.
My, my.
(30:13):
I mean it was.
It was like a.
What do you call this?
Hyenas.
People were.
Oh yeah, people were dying.
They were dying.
Ladies were dying.
I.
I definitely went down inmassive street cred for a while.
Oh yeah, it would have been hilarious.
It was.
It was brutal.
So I don't recommend it.
Don't.
Don't play with medicineballs, Alec.
(30:33):
Just don't let it happen.
No, never balls.
You know, it's funny.
So ironically enough, as I waswatching this movie recently for
getting ready for this, I wasthinking about this is the kind of
shit that somebody would maketick tock videos about, you know
what I mean?
And not have their.
Like someone actually dead,but like someone that they knew,
(30:54):
like being Bernie and beinglimp and like the adventures of whoever.
And they just have randomTikTok videos of them, like dragging
them to do dumb.
Dude, that's a million dollaridea right.
There, dude, I'm telling you.
And now somebody's gonnalisten to it and they're gonna pop
up and they should be like,God damn it.
But I'm too lazy to do that.
But the, the other thing was.
(31:15):
And then I went down thisrabbit hole of the.
That I used to do when I was akid for fun that people do now for
TikTok or similar to make money.
So.
And then you're telling methis story is one I didn't think
about the other day.
We used to call that game canyou sit still?
And like we would sit inchairs in a garage much like you
(31:38):
are, or down in the basement,and we would have random items and
we would just call, can yousit still?
And everybody would just sit there.
And whoever called it wouldthrow an item with the goal of hitting
you in the nuts.
And you couldn't move if you moved.
Everybody jump your ass.
And we'd give you a nicelittle friendly thumping.
(31:59):
Like we Wouldn't beat the out.
You saw the enemy, at leastyou could identify the danger.
That's fair.
But I'll tell you what.
Like we stopped the.
I'll tell you when we stoppedplaying because usually it was like
a pillow or like a rubber ballor like a tennis ball or like a golf
ball.
Like something that's notgonna feel good.
But it's not.
But we were over at my buddyLamar's house this.
(32:23):
And he had.
You remember those marblesthat were like steel?
Yeah.
He had one size of a pool ball.
Pool ball, billiards ball, dense.
And I remember sitting.
His garage was like a.
They built it as part of theirhouse instead of putting their garage.
(32:43):
So it was like a whole notherroom with tv.
We're out on the couch and Ihear it sit still.
And I was like, God.
And I knew, I knew what he wasgonna grab this lobs this giant ass
8 ball size steel marble at my junk.
(33:04):
And I.
And it just full on becauseI'm like you.
I was kicked back watching TVwith my legs wide.
Hey.
And it wasn't.
I didn't get squished mine.
It like hit him in a way thatit like pushed him into my guts.
And I swear I thought theywere gonna have to like go in and
stretch those sons of backoutside that.
(33:26):
In like your heart, not justyour stomach.
I was gagging.
I was like.
And so at that point, likethat was the end of the game.
And I'll tell you what.
Well, I.
I won't go there but maybewe'll save that for the Patreon content.
But yeah, like that's the kindof that I thought about as I was
watching this movie going.
I'm amazed I haven't seen someform of Bernie's like carrying our
(33:48):
friend around on Tick Tock or Instagram.
Like that's the kind of that people.
Get paid to make money.
A bunch of things they didn'twant to do.
Yeah, yeah, me too.
But we did it for fun.
Like we didn't do it to likeput it on camera and out ourselves.
Like we did it and people werelike, what are you guys doing?
Don't worry about it.
Nothing.
You know, now we're like, letme put it on Tick Tock so the world
(34:10):
can watch it.
You know what I mean?
So it was just interesting.
So yeah, it made me think of that.
Anyway, should we rate Weekendat Bernie's?
Do it.
Do it.
My movie.
I'll go first.
I'm giving it a four.
Look, it's Stupid.
It's dumb, and I know it, butit makes me laugh and it entertains
me.
And it's short and it's to the point.
(34:31):
And there's never a dull moment.
There's always something going on.
Kind of.
Alec, to your point that evenif it's not in the foreground or
with the main characters,there's some weird going on on the
beach.
There's some silly happeningin the background at the party.
And then you have the obvious,just absolute ridiculousness.
I will say that to give somecredence to Matson, it is ridiculous
(34:54):
to the point that even Isometimes go, jesus, we have reached
a new low, right?
Like, I watch it, I go, man,this movie was.
It's ridiculous.
How is it so popular?
But.
So I do have some hard times.
Like, there are some pretty ridiculous.
Like, there are moments whenyou carry them around in public.
Like, I get with the richpeople, and they're like, I'm gonna
leave it alone sometimes inthe car.
(35:15):
And, like, I'm just like,sunglasses don't fix that.
But whatever.
So I.
I can't give it a five, but Iwill watch this anytime.
Is this a four in terms ofcomedy sake, or is this a four across
the board?
No, Like, I think it's a four.
Legit four.
Like, it's not a nostalgiafour for me.
It's not like a.
(35:36):
All right, all right, let'scut JJ off.
Let's.
No.
All right, people.
You know.
You know, I'm a man of the people.
I'm not gonna lead you howthat keeps.
Like, yeah, I'm gonna givethis movie A2.
Like, look, let's be honest.
We're.
If we're talking across thespectrum, is this a great movie?
No, it's not.
But is this a terrible movie?
It's not a great movie.
(35:56):
It's not even close.
But there are many things.
It feels weird to say thisthat I would definitely not watch
before I watch this movie again.
At least.
At least this movie has somethings to offer in terms of a few
jokes here.
There.
Like, it's short.
It's visually.
I mean, I'd love to go to BaldHead island now.
I gotta.
(36:16):
I mean, it's not the Hamptons.
Let's not get confused.
But it looked dang cool.
This isn't a good movie.
Do I want to watch this movie?
I can't believe they made aNumber Two.
It must have made enough money.
Like, I.
Heaven forbid I'll ever watchNumber Two.
And now doing this podcastthat's probably.
Careful There are people listening.
Gosh, it's just.
(36:37):
It's a subpar movie.
But JJ apparently like subparmovies, and they get four.
So, like, should we.
I don't know how we in goodconscience listen to his rating system.
I just don't know.
Like, this is Bill and Ted humor.
JJ gets blinded.
I think we understand this guy.
All right, Alec.
And we probably shouldn'tlisten to Alec either, because we
(36:58):
know.
He is the strength of the people.
If this movie was in black andwhite, this would have been a five.
This would have been a masterpiece.
In Alex, he based the still,give it a five.
So be careful.
As I said, what you wait for.
Yeah, I'm unhinged and crazy.
No, I'm with jj.
This is a brilliant movie, andI love it.
(37:19):
And I think that it comes froma lot of the little things.
Like, I crack up when AndrewMcCarthy throws Bernie on the dolly
and it's just wheeling himaround, and because it's happening
in the background, it's havingthe background where he lays him
down, the dolly straps his assdown and just, like, skips across
the pool.
(37:39):
Pool deck with wheeling him.
Or you've got, you know,taxing the strain, and he's got his
whole setup going.
And it's just.
It's just enjoyable becauseyou're like, why would you ever do
that?
But at the same time, if youwere the person, if you were Andrew
McCarthy, you're thinking ofall the ideas of, how can I keep
this going for as long as possible?
And 100.
That's one that you wouldthink up.
(38:00):
Yeah.
And so I enjoy it.
It makes me laugh.
It is a very good movie.
And I think majority rules onthis one.
But, yeah, it's a four.
It's a four for me.
Yeah.
You don't think.
You don't think John Hughesdidn't get some inspiration for Home
Alone when he's got thestrings and he's doing all, like,
the.
The sing alongs and in the windows.
Oh, yeah.
You know, he was like, oh,look at this.
(38:22):
I know what I'm doing.
He put that in there on purpose.
Let's look up what you allrated Home Alone.
Like, probably rated it worsethan this movie.
That feels like a freakingcardinal sin.
I don't think so.
I think we rated Home Alone.
I wasn't on for Home Alone.
I don't remember, but I.
I would imagine.
I love Home Alone, so, man, Ibet I gave it real high.
(38:43):
I might have to break off anddo this on my own.
I'm gonna save the people.
Oh, we know that won't happen.
I have a hard enough timewrangling the two you for this as
it is.
And then lately I'm the problem.
So it's just like we're a showwaiting to happen.
None of us are going solo.
Who are you kidding?
(39:05):
And with that, Alec, why don'tyou tell everybody where they can
find us when they're notlistening to our ridiculousness?
Absolutely.
So my spin off podcast, sinceI'm ditching these two jerks.
No, it's like JJ said, Patreonis the best place to get in contact,
get a part of the content,vote on the movies I put out.
Like I've said before, and allthis month the votes really matter
to us.
(39:26):
Like it's pure bagging rightsto get our movies picked.
So yeah, don't go out there.
You go pick.
You deny Matson the ability towatch his stupid ass movies.
It is nothing but shit showfun, you know, going back and forth.
So Patreon's place to getinvolved there.
Best place to watch this on YouTube.
So you can see Matson's raisedeyebrow as he's like, what am I doing?
(39:47):
Should I ate during this wholefreaking podcast.
Like Brad Pitt and oceans.
All the oceans.
Movies like, come on now.
Making irrelevant comparisons.
It's perfect.
This.
That's what YouTube's for.
I'm providing fuel to thebrain and making objective decisions
here, unlike my co hosts.
Okay, YouTube's place to watch us.
(40:08):
Patreon's a place to getinvolved with that.
Let's thank our two patronsthat I know of, CB and Rich Charles
changed the name all the time,but they're the ones currently that
are holding all the power inthe choices.
So if you don't like thecontent we're putting out, remember,
it's not our fault.
With that, I'll kick it backto the king of Crash, the colossus
(40:31):
of clout.
Jj.
That's right.
Appreciate it.
And we're just done with this one.
So with that, as always, weappreciate you tuning in.
We'll catch you on the nextone, guys.
Next one will be better.
Just trust me.
Bye.
Hasta la vista, baby.
It.
So you just go with the flow.
You don't want to be the oneto, you know, cause a wave or a scene
or an issue.
Now I will say I wouldn't be.
Surprised if they all knew hewas dead, but just went along with
it because nobody wanted.
Out.
(00:22):
Welcome to the what's upPodcast where we fashion ourselves
cinematic judge and jury.
My name is J.J.
crowder.
I'm here with my co hosts, Matzenheimer.
You know, am I excited to behere in this one?
We'll find out.
Better red than dead.
And Alec Burgess.
What a communist attitude.
Let's get it.
We appreciate you tuning in.
Go hit that follow subscribelike bell notification button.
(00:44):
Keep up with all of our episodes.
Tell a friend about us.
Tell a family member about us.
I mean, you can tell a deadrelative about us if you want.
Or dead friend or, you know, no.
Ghosts, no spirits, no nothing.
Yeah, I was gonna say, Alec,you popping out your Ouija board?
No.
That's one thing I'll never do.
You know, it's funny.
This is totally not relevantto this movie.
(01:06):
I mean, I guess there's a deadbody, but the whole like, say Bloody
Mary three times with the mirror.
I still think about that,like, fairly often.
I'm like, I should do that.
I shouldn't do that.
I'll never do that.
I still haven't because I'mnot dumb enough to do it.
But, like, nothing's gonna happen.
But something could happen.
But a Ouija board?
That's something I'd never.
No, not never ever.
(01:26):
Would never.
Could never.
Nope.
No, thank you.
I've done both, but that's foranother time.
Yeah, another.
That one movie.
Didn't we review that one movie?
The hand movie where they heldthe hand.
Whatever.
Like, talk to me.
I'm sure I would have donethat, like, in my early 20s against
my will, but, like, I wouldnever have been like, the person.
I do dumb stuff, but that'ssomething I need like a JJ to be.
(01:49):
Like, let's do this.
And I was gonna say you'd bein trouble because I would do that.
Right?
Yeah.
But Alex, we all.
We know.
We all know.
Ale Alex.
Alex out on but.
So that begs the question.
I know Jay's is gonna talkabout this movie, so I'm very curious
how you would have operatedamongst this dead body and in the
phobias and stuff that comewith that because you're very like,
again, out of that stuff.
(02:09):
But this might have just beenfunny for you and you just would
addict with it.
I'm curious.
We'll talk about that.
We'll talk about it.
But first I gotta give us ashameless plug about our Patreon.
Because speaking of deadbodies, where I did ask the group
to give us some like one.
Oh, no, we have no, we haveno, we have less shame and care a
(02:32):
little bit less over on Patreon.
So if you want to see someadditional funny content that's even
more inappropriate, go checkit out there with that too.
Like, I did pose the question,you know, we had the vote for July,
which we're working on hereand that soon.
And then I asked, hey, give ussome topics.
And it was mentioned thatOctober's coming again soon.
(02:56):
Yeah.
So I didn't commit toanything, but it was asked whether
or not we were going to dosome more horror movies for October.
I know that there are severalissues with that on both fronts.
One, Alec is Alec.
And two, last time Matt's hadgotten a little bit of trouble from
bringing bad juju to thehouse, I guess, but which by proxy
(03:17):
means I got in trouble.
Those, those things have to bewatched in secret a little bit more
in.
In the daylight.
And it's very hard to do thosethings nowadays with kids and schedules
and things and.
Yeah, if that happens again,Jay, you can guarantee you will get
yelled at and probably yelledat in person here real soon too,
so.
(03:37):
Probably true.
You already, you already got,you already got one on you.
You don't.
You don't need another.
I'm sold.
If JJ's getting yelled at,let's do it.
I will definitely get right.
But you'll have a handheld PCyou can watch it on in secret.
So.
So with all of that said, weare in our final week of June.
(03:59):
That's crazy to even think about.
And we're ready to rock androll with our final summer kickoff
movie, that being Weekend at Bernie's.
It was released and I was unprepared.
July 5, 1989.
It was written by Robert Kleinand it was directed by Todd Ted Kachif.
(04:21):
And it stars Andrew McCarthy,Jonathan Silverman, Catherine Mary
Stewart, Terry Kaiser, DonKalfa, Katherine Parks, Eloise DeJoria
and Greg Salata.
It's about two idiots try topretend that they're a murdered employee.
Employer is really alive,leaning the hitman to attempt to
track him down to finish him off.
(04:42):
That's such a brilliant synopsis.
What else is there to thismovie with that Alec?
This was a you movie.
So I'm curious as to why itended up on our June list.
This was A movie.
It might have been a me movie.
I thought I wasn't.
It wasn't a me movie.
Yeah, I only got the.
The first movie.
(05:04):
Oh, that's right, I did.
It was a me movie and it.
Was a new movie.
Yeah, that's how much this isa you movie that I give you credit
for picking this movie.
But I'll take it.
You know, it's all braggingrights at the end.
Sure.
I mean, look, it's also a me movie.
Like, this is a.
This was a staple, especiallyin my teenage years, for summer.
(05:25):
Like, we had to watch Weekendat Bernie's because it's, you know,
I mean, one of the opening scenes.
I love, like, how stupid itis, but it's very relatable if you've
lived in Arizona or somewherethat just gets miserable hot.
Like the melted, like, asphalton the roof.
Like his shoes.
And then like, the ledger thatthey got the all over.
(05:46):
Like, it's just.
I love it.
And I love that the synopsisin here just calls them two idiots.
Like, to me, that's why I lovethis movie and why I picked it.
One, it's summertime.
It happens in the summer.
It's all about it.
It was released in summer backin the day.
But two, like, it's just.
There's no expectation ofanything other than what this movie
(06:08):
is.
And.
And from a perspective ofentertainment, like, if you like
just silly, goofy, over thetop makes, like, you can sit and
go, that's the dumbest I'veever seen.
But consider who we'rewatching, do stuff right.
And, like, it just fits and it works.
(06:29):
And it shouldn't work in myopinion, but it does work.
And it will always make melaugh for the dumbest reasons and
make me feel like I'm kind ofan idiot for thinking it's as funny
as that it is.
And as I laugh because it'sreally, at the end of the day, not
great from a, like, content perspective.
It didn't take a genius to putthis together.
(06:49):
But all.
I laugh a lot at this moviestill to this day.
And I've seen it a thousand times.
So, yeah, that's why I picked it.
And I was glad it got voted on.
I think that alone means thatwe're doing something right.
You and Alec.
All right.
Matt's in poo poo before wewill sandwich it between two pauses.
(07:09):
Like, again, I think I saidthis last podcast, if this is something
that I had grown up with andhad that nostalgia feel like the.
This movie doesn't take itself seriously.
And it, I mean, it can't, it shouldn't.
And I.
And I understand and I get that.
And that's where, like, if Ihad seen this late childhood, early
(07:29):
teen, mid teen, that was mything, like, I'm sure I'd feel differently
about this movie.
I just don't have that connection.
And I.
Our audience that listens tous, this is like the kind of the
Bill and Ted thing for me.
I just don't have that whenit's so in your face and dumb and
just like the suspension of disbelief.
(07:52):
I don't know, like, it just doesn't.
It doesn't land for me the waythat I know it does for other people,
like jj.
Like, I.
I know if I was even sittingnext to J.J.
like, he might be laughing,but it's like I'd just be laughing
because Jay's laughing.
But it's really like, it's notthat funny to me.
Like, this movie should justbe like a.
Like an SNL short or somethingand not a hour and a half long movie.
(08:15):
It's just.
It didn't land for me, but it.
Like, I can't believe theymade a number two.
Maybe I'll just leave it at that.
That's great.
Alec, what about you, buddy?
Oh, I.
I think this movie is genius.
And the.
In a very kind of specific way.
So with a lot of movies, whatyou have is got foreground and background,
(08:38):
and you're supposed to payattention to what happens in the
foreground, but the backgroundis almost irrelevant.
This movie, the entire screenis being purposed.
Foreground, background,everything that has something going
on.
And it all ties in beautifully.
And so there's little nuancesthat are happening all throughout
(08:59):
that if you're just watchingthe movie, you're going to miss.
And it's just at all levels ofthe screen, there's something going
on that's entertaining, funny,or just flat out stupid.
But putting context witheverything else around it is brilliant.
(09:19):
And so I totally enjoywatching this movie.
But my favorite thing is, andI don't even know if it's actually
Terry Kiser, who's just Berniethe entire time, but there's.
There's moments where you cantell it's Terry Kaiser.
Like, dude, this guy had theeasiest fucking job.
Just sit there and act dead.
(09:40):
Okay.
Yeah, well, and like, theeasiest job, but the hardest too,
because, like, the amount of,like, physical exertion that he has
to, like, avoid, like, whenthey're pulling him, like, he had
to have been just horrified sometimes.
(10:01):
Like, I don't know how he kepthis face normal.
Like, I don't.
Like, there's so many thingslike the way he plays that.
And I know that there was likea, a doll, a dummy version that they
did for like the over the topstunts and.
But most of like the adjustinghim and like the movement, like,
that was all him and he justhad to be limp and like, I can't
(10:23):
imagine, like a more difficultthing as an actor than to just be
like, don't react or you haveto be completely limp at all times.
Like, that'd be wild.
Especially with AndrewMcCarthy who is probably spending
most of this time trying toget you to break.
Oh yeah.
Oh, y.
Watching interviews with ofthem talking about this movie like,
(10:46):
you know, they had a ball.
Like, just.
Yeah, because they just did it.
Seemingly did whatever theywanted, which fit within the vein
in this movie.
And they somehow figured out away to stretch it to the amount of
time needed to make a movie.
Well, and I think that's whereI love when you Alec that you say
it's genius.
Like, this is to me anothercase of like, just wildly intelligent
(11:11):
stupid humor.
Like, it's so dumb and overthe top and they knew this is the
dumbest idea we've ever had.
However, the comedy in it isso smart because they're so dumb.
Like, even these guys who arelike trying and it's funny because
they pinpointed even Bernie's.
Like, these morons, I'm goingto blame them.
(11:32):
Like, I'm gonna set them up tofind it and then they're gonna be
my scapegoats and they'rejust, they're too stupid to even
realize, like, they think thatthey're on to something and they've
gotten set up and then onaccident, like, this whole thing
just plays into like, well, wegot he needs to be alive.
(11:52):
And like, it comes down likemy favorite line.
Well, maybe not my favorite,but one of my favorite lines is like,
what kind of host invites youto his place for the weekend and
then dies?
Like, it just, it's like deaddude, and you're pissed he's dead.
It just the audacity just upand die on our weekend.
(12:13):
Seriously, it's so great,like, how ridiculous it is.
And yet the moments that theyhave the comedy are so brilliantly
timed and written.
And then of course, I'm suread libbed and you know, stuff from
some of these actors.
It's just like to me, I sitand watch and go, man, what a stroke
(12:35):
of genius to do something so stupid.
But you fully committed to it,and you did it so well that I'm just
sitting here laughing my assoff the whole time.
Yeah, well, the other thingis, Bernie's the dead guy in this,
but he's not even the victim.
Yeah, the victim is Paulie Freaking.
(12:58):
Who pulls off a flawless hitand then spends the rest of the movie
second guessing.
Yeah.
So good.
Every time.
Because he's like, you know,it's set.
It's set up by the mostbeautiful line where it's like, you
know, I'm a little rusty, butI could probably come out and do
it.
Yeah.
The entire rest of the moviejust as a one running after another
(13:20):
with, again, these two idiots.
And.
Yeah.
So poor Paulie's the entirevictim, this whole process, and he's
not even died.
What does it say about thetype of parties Bernie throws?
Or when he goes to parties?
That is all his friends think,oh, this is just him.
He's silent, chilling, never moving.
Wears the same clothes for,like, two or three days.
(13:42):
Like, what is this dude juststoned out of his mind for multiple
days when he's there?
And that's just what he does.
I'm like, dude's got tocommunicate at some point.
Apparently not, though.
Or all of his friends are justas dumb and delusional as he is.
Sold a Porsche for 50 grand.
I'm just gonna.
Hey, man, drugs makeeverything easier to deal with.
(14:07):
Oh, man.
Well, and that's.
I think that's the other partthat I want to not laugh at when
I watch this movie.
But.
And I'm not.
I don't know, it's kind oflike the whole, like, physical comedy
to me, especially physicalcomedy that shouldn't be funny tends
to be more funny.
(14:28):
And that's like, why I loveCharlie Chaplin, like, his physical
comedy.
The things that he does withhis body and the thing.
So the things that they dowith Bernie that you're like, how
does nobody notice this?
Like, to me, that internally is.
Is because it's so ridiculous.
It makes it so funny to me towatch the oblivious people.
To your point, Matson, it'slike, ah, it's just Bernie.
(14:49):
You know what I mean?
Like, he's just.
He just does that stuff.
Like, it's so ridiculous thatthere's no way that anybody be like.
But then I have to.
In my head, I'm instantlyimagining, what does that group of
people actually look like?
Like, if Bernie wasn't deadand they were having this party and
for them to go, ah, it's just Bernie.
Like, what A boring party, at least.
(15:11):
Like with Bernie, but.
Or is he just, like, a voyeurand he wants to watch everybody do
drugs and get drunk and dodumb, which I'm also down for.
Like, that can be entertaining.
So it's just, like, it makesme question, like, the whole situation
and who Bernie was and thenthe fact that he's got these mob
connections, and you're like,what the hell?
But he's smart enough to bescared about his connections to the
(15:33):
mob and that he, you know, sohe's got to lay the.
It's someone else's feet.
I just think there's so muchhigh intelligence that's mixed with
so much just ridiculous dumb that.
That combination makes me laugh.
Sorry, I didn't think aboutany of those things because this
movie is not making you thinkof high.
High intelligence, communist movie.
(15:53):
It tells you right up frontthis is a dumb movie.
You're dumb for watching it.
And don't do any introspectionabout the character.
But he's been dead.
He's a flopping fish, andthey're just propping them up, and
he stinks.
After two days, like, oh, my gosh.
I just go.
Not learning nothing from thismovie, J.J.
not one thing.
(16:13):
I thought about all the things J.J.
thought about.
No.
Yeah.
But no.
What I win is, have you guysever been around someone who's rich
or seen how people act aroundsomeone who's rich?
Nobody's telling them anythingthat's agreeing with everything that
they're doing.
You don't want to be left offthe list.
And so I had no problem withpeople, you know, just kind of going
(16:34):
with the flow because theydon't want to not be invited to the
next party.
We could.
We could say some stuff thatmight get us canceled right now with
that lead in.
But I will.
I'll refer from.
Everybody who's watching knowswhat I'm talking about.
I'll refrain from aiming somerich individual that we.
Yeah, a lot of people could beon that list.
(16:55):
Hey, but that's the thing.
Like, you can hear it evenfrom, like, ex sports players.
I mean, I'm not saying you'rewrong, though.
Right.
Where their entourage does notdo anything except agree.
Yes.
You want.
You.
You want those handouts tokeep coming your way.
Exactly.
You stand close to the sun,you're gonna get a little bit of
heat off it.
So you just go with the flow.
(17:16):
You don't want to be the oneto, you know, cause a wave or a scene
or an issue.
Now, I will say I wouldn't be.
Surprised if they all knew hewas dead, but just went along with
it because nobody wanted.
Out.
Well, he had a nice place.
This I will give him in spades.
Very jealous.
Want to know where that.
(17:36):
Did they actually film this?
Where.
I wonder where they actuallyfilmed it.
But I want that house.
Yeah, beautiful.
I don't know where they filmed it.
I didn't look.
North Carolina, I think.
Doesn't it say, I mean,obviously somewhere with a beach,
but really, let's see.
Where they filmed it.
I would just say that was theother thing I wanted to talk about
is like, how interesting it islike in our time to go back and watch
(17:59):
a movie like this with thatperspective in mind of like, there's
a lot of people that areactually no longer safe from all
the shenanigans and crazy wildthat they got up to.
And then you get these likemagic lists of people that attended
(18:21):
parties and you're like, well,how in deep.
How deep in.
Were they going to these parts?
Because I mean, like you said,Bernie's what a party.
And it's not like peopledidn't know about it because that's
like one of their motivationsof these two knuckleheads, like digging
in and getting so excitedabout this discrepancy that they've
been set up to find is they'relike, oh, we're gonna get an in,
(18:44):
we're gonna get our move upthe ladder and now we're gonna get
invited to Bernie parties andother places and we're gonna fight.
You know what I mean?
So, like made it.
Yeah, exactly.
And so it's like, man, it's a,it's an interesting commentary now.
And I'm sure that, look, ifyou're in Hollywood, like, because
we know a lot of times theHollywood is where all the call outs
(19:06):
are coming from.
So like, if you're inHollywood, maybe they.
Maybe this was a truecommentary to a certain degree before
we were ready to hear aboutthe issues that have been going on
in Hollywood to that extent.
But I mean, it's a, it's aninteresting insight when you think
about the situations that alot of people are in these days for
sure.
Moving forward because youknow there's some shady going on
(19:28):
amongst the rich because.
We'Ve seen it 100 and Alec,you were correct.
North Carolina.
Bald Head Island.
Bald Head Island.
I didn't know such a place existed.
Does now there's some weirdnamed places I'd have to pull up.
I just shipped some stuff to aplace that I, I Saw.
(19:51):
Gosh, I'm trying to remember.
Even the mailman, when I.
The mail place, when I took itto get it scanned and shipped out,
like, he was like, I didn'tknow about this city.
I was like, me neither.
Whether it's.
Yeah.
Because it was probably namedby someone in Weekend at Bernie's.
They're just like, we're justgonna f.
With this town.
Or they probably have stupidlynamed streets as well.
(20:14):
People come up with streetnames sometimes.
Like, maybe just maybe justdon't do that.
I mean, maybe not.
Like, yeah, stick to something normal.
Maybe think it through at thevery least, because, yeah, it's gonna
bother me.
But it was.
I was like, that's anunfortunate name for a city.
Like, someone actually did that.
(20:35):
You like the.
The dad popping in on the.
The steamy scene.
I mean, it's funny becauseit's relatable, you know, like, you're
like, that's uncomfortable.
Even if it never.
Because I'm.
I don't know.
Is that something like, thatever happened to the two of you?
(20:55):
Oh, I.
Not to that.
Not to that extent, but tryingto think.
It's far less risque.
But it was highly embarrassing.
I was a sophomore, and thiswill be funny for you, jj, because,
you know, this person, Martin.
I was dating Martin's sister,who was a senior at the time, and
(21:18):
I couldn't drive yet, so I wasin the passenger seat of their Toyota
Tacoma, and for whateverreason, and this one was, like, during
the day, so, like, wasn'tsuper late.
It was, like, probably, likearound dinner time or something.
I don't know what was goingon, but we started making out a little
bit.
Like, not supposed.
Not something that wassupposed to turn into anything because
(21:40):
I was gonna get out, then allof a sudden hear a knock on the.
What was the window and turnlike, oh, my gosh, it's my mom.
Like, oh, no.
You're like, this is just weird.
Like, awkward.
Just very awkward.
And my mom's like, prettygoody two shoes.
She wasn't just like, youknow, not super happy about all that.
(22:01):
But it.
Like, it's fine.
But it was awkward.
It happened one more time.
I don't remember the secondtime, but, yeah, that I definitely
felt.
I still remember how it felt.
Like, it was very awkward.
Just one of those, like, damnit, Mom.
Yeah, it's a weird.
Yeah.
I've never.
Never had it happen to whereit's like.
(22:24):
Like, I had to happen withsome, like, personal time when I
was younger, but never coupledup program.
I think the closest.
Like, my dad used to, like,enjoy making weird.
Shocker.
I mean, that's.
My dad and I are very similar.
Less so now that he's older.
But, like, when I was in high.
School, I was gonna say, jj'sgot to get these shenanigans from
(22:47):
somebody.
Yeah, no, my dad.
My dad's funny because he'sthe guy that, like, everybody wanted.
Like, all my friends werelike, yeah, we'll go to JJ's because
JJ's dad's funny.
And we liked it.
Like, they were, like, hangingout with my dad as much as they did
me.
I was like, what the.
But my dad loved to make alittle weird.
Like, and he didn't have a problem.
So, like, I remember one timeI had a bunch of friends over and
(23:08):
a girl I was dating at thetime stayed after a few people had
left.
And here in this house, like,in the basement, which is where I
was at at the time, we had aTV and I had like this whole living
room area.
And then there was like thisold shitty dimmer switch, like, that
had like the different buttonsfor the different level of light.
(23:28):
And so everybody had leftexcept this girl I was dating.
We were sitting down to watcha movie, and of course we were going
to make out and hang out and whatnot.
Well, my dad, I was like,basically, my dad had been down there
with all my friends.
They all left.
And I was like, looking at mydad, like, time for you to leave.
So he finally gets up to leave.
He walks over to Light.
He's like, here, let me, letme help out with the lighting for
(23:49):
the movie.
And so he goes down to like,all these.
There was like, six buttonsand he hits the next one down and
he goes, oh, we need a littlemore mood than that.
A little more mood than that.
And like, I'm sitting theregoing, oh, my God, dad.
Like.
And of course, like, thisgirl's, like, sitting there uncomfortable
because we both know we'regonna make out.
But my.
She's like, yeah, but yourdad's, like, almost encouraging.
(24:11):
Well, he gets to the bottomand turns the lights all the way
off and he's like, oh, that'stoo much mood.
And then goes back up a switch.
So like, my dad, that.
And that's just one exampleof, like, George's full on opportunities
to embarrass the.
Out of anyone that I knew andmyself included.
And it's one of the reasonsthat it's very hard to make me uncomfortable
(24:34):
and to embarrass me because mydad did such A fine job.
My whole childhood that I grewup to go, look, it can't be any worse
than the my dad did.
So it's rare that I getembarrassed, but thankfully never
for full on adult activities.
I always made sure I wasn't inmy house for that reason because
(24:57):
I just didn't want to dealwith that.
Oh, yeah, I never, like, itwas very rare that anything like
that ever went down in my basement.
I can think of only a hand.
Not even that.
Maybe like twice or.
Because I, you know, I won.
I wasn't dumb enough to letthat happen.
Nope.
Yeah, it's a little.
It's a little awkward.
(25:17):
Funniest thing that happenedwith anything like that is I used
to get bloody noses, like allthe time that they wanted to cauterize
my nose.
Making out the girl and thingswere starting to happen and I just
all of a sudden.
And dude, all over her faceand her chest, it's like.
(25:38):
And we're not talking.
Like, I got him quick, like fast.
It wasn't like drops.
It was like, wow, that killedthe mood immediately.
Yeah, I like, like, it lookedlike Braveheart style.
Like.
No, that's no good, dude.
(25:59):
Yeah.
Wow, Great story.
That's.
That's the most of it.
Yeah, like, it was bad.
Like, it was, it was.
It was very messy and.
Oh, bad.
Like, that relationship didn'tlast much longer.
She went on a mission.
Oh, there you go.
That'll do it every time.
In fact, I think that was thelast time too, because she was going
(26:20):
on a mission and it was funny.
I was like, yeah, that.
Yeah, a bad never happenedsince don't really get bloody noses
anymore.
I'm really glad I didn'tcauterize my nose.
I was like a walking hazard myhalf of my senior year.
Like a dude.
I have other stories of mynose, but my goodness, like, it was
(26:41):
bad.
Like, that's funny.
It's embarrassing.
Thankfully that that girl wasfrom college days, so no one, like
none of my actual friendsbarely knew her that well because
of that story got out.
I mean, that would have never.
My friends never would havelet the end of that happen back then.
So I love that the last threeweeks of this podcast just been like,
trauma unpacking.
(27:01):
I know, right?
How is it, how is it that oursummer kickoff movies turned into,
like, embarrassing stories?
And I'll give.
I'll give our audience onemore because this feels like a dumb
Weekend at Bernie's thing.
So this was junior year.
We were at a party and mybuddy Mike Frouke, he Can take claim
for this.
For whatever reason.
(27:22):
I don't even know how thisstarted happening.
I was sitting in a chair, Willsay three or four feet from him.
And it was like very dark inthis basement.
There's music maybe.
I don't know if there was likea strobe light effect or anything,
but where we were at, like, Icouldn't see much.
Like, it was like pretty dang dark.
For whatever reason.
I don't even.
I don't even know how this happened.
(27:43):
My buddy Mike got his hands ona six pound medicine ball.
Don't ask me where this.
I don't.
This girl in Chantilly.
I guess her.
Somebody worked out downstairs.
He had it.
He was tossing it like betweenhis hands.
I didn't see it.
Had no idea.
And then all of a sudden,like, any great dude is like, hey,
Hiner, catch.
Oh, God.
(28:04):
Me.
Like most dudes, how do we sitin chairs?
We don't sit.
Tight legs.
We're not cramping.
We're not.
We're not cramping the balls.
We're letting them.
We're letting them breathe.
We're letting them be easy.
And so all of a sudden I amtalking to someone else.
And I vividly remember thisbecause I couldn't see anything.
But I turned, I heard his.
I knew where he, like, he was.
And I turned to his voice half.
(28:26):
Like eight, half a secondlater, one eighth of a second later,
just.
Just the worst smush.
And I've.
I've gotten some really badsack taps.
Like, very, very bad.
Never in my life, even to thisday, nothing.
And I've been hit with alacrosse ball that nothing has come
close to this six poundmedicine ball.
Because he.
(28:46):
He told me later, he.
He lobbed it up, like up intothe air.
Like, give you more time tocatch it.
What a nice.
Just square.
Like, I mean, he hit.
He didn't.
Like, you know how you get hit?
Like right, like right sack, left.
Like, no, just.
Just these sand pancakes.
Like the turtle from a coupleweeks ago, dude.
And I like, I, man, I don'tremember all the feelings, but I
(29:11):
remember it was.
It was a long time later.
I was worried, like, I wasworried about my pee situation.
Like, the system.
I got some ice.
I went out, I had like someice pack.
I went into the back of thatperson's house, like by the shrub,
just to see if I could tinkle.
Thankfully, with a lot of fear.
(29:31):
Took me a while to pee becauseI was worried that I was going to
see blood.
It worked.
We were fine.
I Was very mad at my friendthe rest of the night just beside
myself.
And I have.
We'll probably say this fornext podcast.
I actually won't work withnext month.
But he got me again later on adifferent thing.
But that was one of the mostpainful thing.
(29:52):
And I've been tased and thatvideo is crazy.
But that was so painful.
And I can imagine that couldhave happened that weekend at Bernie's
and I would have never.
I was never the same from it.
I'm terrified of medicine balls.
Yeah, that's.
Funny story, by the way.
And I feel almost bad for yourballs other than I would have been
laughing my ass off.
Oh you.
Dude.
My, my.
(30:13):
I mean it was.
It was like a.
What do you call this?
Hyenas.
People were.
Oh yeah, people were dying.
They were dying.
Ladies were dying.
I.
I definitely went down inmassive street cred for a while.
Oh yeah, it would have been hilarious.
It was.
It was brutal.
So I don't recommend it.
Don't.
Don't play with medicineballs, Alec.
(30:33):
Just don't let it happen.
No, never balls.
You know, it's funny.
So ironically enough, as I waswatching this movie recently for
getting ready for this, I wasthinking about this is the kind of
shit that somebody would maketick tock videos about, you know
what I mean?
And not have their.
Like someone actually dead,but like someone that they knew,
(30:54):
like being Bernie and beinglimp and like the adventures of whoever.
And they just have randomTikTok videos of them, like dragging
them to do dumb.
Dude, that's a million dollaridea right.
There, dude, I'm telling you.
And now somebody's gonnalisten to it and they're gonna pop
up and they should be like,God damn it.
But I'm too lazy to do that.
But the, the other thing was.
(31:15):
And then I went down thisrabbit hole of the.
That I used to do when I was akid for fun that people do now for
TikTok or similar to make money.
So.
And then you're telling methis story is one I didn't think
about the other day.
We used to call that game canyou sit still?
And like we would sit inchairs in a garage much like you
(31:38):
are, or down in the basement,and we would have random items and
we would just call, can yousit still?
And everybody would just sit there.
And whoever called it wouldthrow an item with the goal of hitting
you in the nuts.
And you couldn't move if you moved.
Everybody jump your ass.
And we'd give you a nicelittle friendly thumping.
(31:59):
Like we Wouldn't beat the out.
You saw the enemy, at leastyou could identify the danger.
That's fair.
But I'll tell you what.
Like we stopped the.
I'll tell you when we stoppedplaying because usually it was like
a pillow or like a rubber ballor like a tennis ball or like a golf
ball.
Like something that's notgonna feel good.
But it's not.
But we were over at my buddyLamar's house this.
(32:23):
And he had.
You remember those marblesthat were like steel?
Yeah.
He had one size of a pool ball.
Pool ball, billiards ball, dense.
And I remember sitting.
His garage was like a.
They built it as part of theirhouse instead of putting their garage.
(32:43):
So it was like a whole notherroom with tv.
We're out on the couch and Ihear it sit still.
And I was like, God.
And I knew, I knew what he wasgonna grab this lobs this giant ass
8 ball size steel marble at my junk.
(33:04):
And I.
And it just full on becauseI'm like you.
I was kicked back watching TVwith my legs wide.
Hey.
And it wasn't.
I didn't get squished mine.
It like hit him in a way thatit like pushed him into my guts.
And I swear I thought theywere gonna have to like go in and
stretch those sons of backoutside that.
(33:26):
In like your heart, not justyour stomach.
I was gagging.
I was like.
And so at that point, likethat was the end of the game.
And I'll tell you what.
Well, I.
I won't go there but maybewe'll save that for the Patreon content.
But yeah, like that's the kindof that I thought about as I was
watching this movie going.
I'm amazed I haven't seen someform of Bernie's like carrying our
(33:48):
friend around on Tick Tock or Instagram.
Like that's the kind of that people.
Get paid to make money.
A bunch of things they didn'twant to do.
Yeah, yeah, me too.
But we did it for fun.
Like we didn't do it to likeput it on camera and out ourselves.
Like we did it and people werelike, what are you guys doing?
Don't worry about it.
Nothing.
You know, now we're like, letme put it on Tick Tock so the world
(34:10):
can watch it.
You know what I mean?
So it was just interesting.
So yeah, it made me think of that.
Anyway, should we rate Weekendat Bernie's?
Do it.
Do it.
My movie.
I'll go first.
I'm giving it a four.
Look, it's Stupid.
It's dumb, and I know it, butit makes me laugh and it entertains
me.
And it's short and it's to the point.
(34:31):
And there's never a dull moment.
There's always something going on.
Kind of.
Alec, to your point that evenif it's not in the foreground or
with the main characters,there's some weird going on on the
beach.
There's some silly happeningin the background at the party.
And then you have the obvious,just absolute ridiculousness.
I will say that to give somecredence to Matson, it is ridiculous
(34:54):
to the point that even Isometimes go, jesus, we have reached
a new low, right?
Like, I watch it, I go, man,this movie was.
It's ridiculous.
How is it so popular?
But.
So I do have some hard times.
Like, there are some pretty ridiculous.
Like, there are moments whenyou carry them around in public.
Like, I get with the richpeople, and they're like, I'm gonna
leave it alone sometimes inthe car.
(35:15):
And, like, I'm just like,sunglasses don't fix that.
But whatever.
So I.
I can't give it a five, but Iwill watch this anytime.
Is this a four in terms ofcomedy sake, or is this a four across
the board?
No, Like, I think it's a four.
Legit four.
Like, it's not a nostalgiafour for me.
It's not like a.
(35:36):
All right, all right, let'scut JJ off.
Let's.
No.
All right, people.
You know.
You know, I'm a man of the people.
I'm not gonna lead you howthat keeps.
Like, yeah, I'm gonna givethis movie A2.
Like, look, let's be honest.
We're.
If we're talking across thespectrum, is this a great movie?
No, it's not.
But is this a terrible movie?
It's not a great movie.
(35:56):
It's not even close.
But there are many things.
It feels weird to say thisthat I would definitely not watch
before I watch this movie again.
At least.
At least this movie has somethings to offer in terms of a few
jokes here.
There.
Like, it's short.
It's visually.
I mean, I'd love to go to BaldHead island now.
I gotta.
(36:16):
I mean, it's not the Hamptons.
Let's not get confused.
But it looked dang cool.
This isn't a good movie.
Do I want to watch this movie?
I can't believe they made aNumber Two.
It must have made enough money.
Like, I.
Heaven forbid I'll ever watchNumber Two.
And now doing this podcastthat's probably.
Careful There are people listening.
Gosh, it's just.
(36:37):
It's a subpar movie.
But JJ apparently like subparmovies, and they get four.
So, like, should we.
I don't know how we in goodconscience listen to his rating system.
I just don't know.
Like, this is Bill and Ted humor.
JJ gets blinded.
I think we understand this guy.
All right, Alec.
And we probably shouldn'tlisten to Alec either, because we
(36:58):
know.
He is the strength of the people.
If this movie was in black andwhite, this would have been a five.
This would have been a masterpiece.
In Alex, he based the still,give it a five.
So be careful.
As I said, what you wait for.
Yeah, I'm unhinged and crazy.
No, I'm with jj.
This is a brilliant movie, andI love it.
(37:19):
And I think that it comes froma lot of the little things.
Like, I crack up when AndrewMcCarthy throws Bernie on the dolly
and it's just wheeling himaround, and because it's happening
in the background, it's havingthe background where he lays him
down, the dolly straps his assdown and just, like, skips across
the pool.
(37:39):
Pool deck with wheeling him.
Or you've got, you know,taxing the strain, and he's got his
whole setup going.
And it's just.
It's just enjoyable becauseyou're like, why would you ever do
that?
But at the same time, if youwere the person, if you were Andrew
McCarthy, you're thinking ofall the ideas of, how can I keep
this going for as long as possible?
And 100.
That's one that you wouldthink up.
(38:00):
Yeah.
And so I enjoy it.
It makes me laugh.
It is a very good movie.
And I think majority rules onthis one.
But, yeah, it's a four.
It's a four for me.
Yeah.
You don't think.
You don't think John Hughesdidn't get some inspiration for Home
Alone when he's got thestrings and he's doing all, like,
the.
The sing alongs and in the windows.
Oh, yeah.
You know, he was like, oh,look at this.
(38:22):
I know what I'm doing.
He put that in there on purpose.
Let's look up what you allrated Home Alone.
Like, probably rated it worsethan this movie.
That feels like a freakingcardinal sin.
I don't think so.
I think we rated Home Alone.
I wasn't on for Home Alone.
I don't remember, but I.
I would imagine.
I love Home Alone, so, man, Ibet I gave it real high.
(38:43):
I might have to break off anddo this on my own.
I'm gonna save the people.
Oh, we know that won't happen.
I have a hard enough timewrangling the two you for this as
it is.
And then lately I'm the problem.
So it's just like we're a showwaiting to happen.
None of us are going solo.
Who are you kidding?
(39:05):
And with that, Alec, why don'tyou tell everybody where they can
find us when they're notlistening to our ridiculousness?
Absolutely.
So my spin off podcast, sinceI'm ditching these two jerks.
No, it's like JJ said, Patreonis the best place to get in contact,
get a part of the content,vote on the movies I put out.
Like I've said before, and allthis month the votes really matter
to us.
(39:26):
Like it's pure bagging rightsto get our movies picked.
So yeah, don't go out there.
You go pick.
You deny Matson the ability towatch his stupid ass movies.
It is nothing but shit showfun, you know, going back and forth.
So Patreon's place to getinvolved there.
Best place to watch this on YouTube.
So you can see Matson's raisedeyebrow as he's like, what am I doing?
(39:47):
Should I ate during this wholefreaking podcast.
Like Brad Pitt and oceans.
All the oceans.
Movies like, come on now.
Making irrelevant comparisons.
It's perfect.
This.
That's what YouTube's for.
I'm providing fuel to thebrain and making objective decisions
here, unlike my co hosts.
Okay, YouTube's place to watch us.
(40:08):
Patreon's a place to getinvolved with that.
Let's thank our two patronsthat I know of, CB and Rich Charles
changed the name all the time,but they're the ones currently that
are holding all the power inthe choices.
So if you don't like thecontent we're putting out, remember,
it's not our fault.
With that, I'll kick it backto the king of Crash, the colossus
(40:31):
of clout.
Jj.
That's right.
Appreciate it.
And we're just done with this one.
So with that, as always, weappreciate you tuning in.
We'll catch you on the nextone, guys.
Next one will be better.
Just trust me.
Bye.
Hasta la vista, baby.
