Ever wondered what would happen if Eddie Murphy had skipped "The Adventures of Pluto Nash"? We've got you covered! Join us as we put Eddie Murphy's filmography under the microscope, starting with the laughably ambitious flop "The Adventures of Pluto Nash." We crack jokes about Murphy's multiple roles and take a playful jab at Alec Baldwin's stealthy cameo. Fuel our fun debate on an alternative universe where names like Brendan Fraser, Bruce Willis, or even the late Chris Farley might have stepped into the spotlight – would it have been a game-changer for this sci-fi comedy?
Grab your popcorn because our "Movies and Characters Chat" is nothing short of a rollercoaster. We dissect a film that could have doubled as a marathon – one long, breathless chase scene – and chew over the missed comedic opportunities. Did Rosario Dawson's casting play a part, or did the studio's scissors snip away the laughs? Oh, and if you're a fan of Luis Guzman, we're rallying behind his comedic chops, imagining him as Gomez Addams in "Wednesday," and comparing him to the legendary Raul Julia. We cap off this lively discussion by embracing the unfiltered joy of Eddie Murphy's performance in "Pluto Nash" – no holds barred.
Closing out Andrew and I serve up a no-holds-barred review of a film that recently let us down, big time. Picture this: a cinema experience so underwhelming, we'd sooner discuss moon-based gyms and hypothetical wild animal encounters in space. We confess to seeking refuge in fantasy football trades and the Mariners game, anything to escape the yawn-inducing flick we endured. Before signing off, remember to hit up our social media – we deliver episodes with a punch that's sure to keep you coming back for more.
Hosted by Andrew and RJ, this Portland-based movie review podcast blends sharp takes, nostalgic dives, and unfiltered banter. Whether you're a cinephile or just here for the chaos, we've got movies covered — one awkward laugh at a time.

Jay Moore.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
And Eddie Murphy and rosario dawson and also eddie
murphy, jay moore and um eddiemurphy louis guzman that's a
good one.
But I think there's, oh, eddiemurphy, peter boyle, oh, that's
a good one.
Oh, what about eddie murphy inthis one?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
oh, oh, oh folks, we got John Cleese we do have John
Cleese.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
That's right, we did have John Cleese, but we did
have Eddie Murphy.
And Burt Young yeah that's true, but there was Eddie Murphy.
Pam Greer oh my Eddie EddieMurphy, eddie Murphy.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Eddie Murphy's the one.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
We also have what's that?
One actor's name that was inthis.
Was it Eddie Murphy?
No, it was Randy Quaid.
Get it together, my guy.
Jeez, what's weird.
Isdie murphy's, the big actorin this movie, cut it out.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I am looking at the cast and you know who?
I don't see who.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Baldwin ah, he was in it for just a split sec he's
not credited here at, at leaston Google.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Smartly, let me check the Wisely All-knowing database
of IMDB.
Yeah, imdb.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well, while Andrew's checking out IMDB, I'd like to
start out with the summary ofthis movie.
Basically, we have Eddie Murphywho walks in just straight off
the streets from jail into alittle casino area actually a
little bar area where this dudeis playing the bagpipes and
singing.
He's about to get drowned ingasoline and killed, or coolant
(02:15):
and killed battery acid actually.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Glug, glug, glug.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Instead, eddie Murphy says oh nope, let me take over
the bar and you save my friend.
At the end of the day, hebecomes a hit nightclub owner.
And then some guy wants to belike Eddie Murphy and take over
the world by being EddieMurphy's character, pluto Nash.
And there's other things thathappen.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
But yeah, that's basically it.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
That's basically the nutshell.
Yeah, After that it's just abig chase scene.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's a really long chase scene with eddie murphy,
rosario dawson and randy quaidso I did find alec baldwin on
the all-knowing imdb, your db,but he's but, but, but, but but
he's listed as uncredited're dbI am db.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
You are to be all right, so any murphy in this
movie bad if you could swap himfor any other comedic actor any
other comedian.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
There's no saving this no there is, but if we're
to, if we're to take to takePluto Nash from what it is and
make it something marginallybetter.
What actor are you bringing tothis?
I got mine locked and loaded.
Brendan Fraser, ooh.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Why Back during that time period he's kind of big.
Yeah, he's coming fresh offDudley Do-Right, perfect time
period for him, almost Okay.
I feel like he'd just kind ofbe a big actor to throw in there
that people would probably gosee because he just I don't feel
like this is like a straightadventure movie, like what he's
typically done no, but thatchase scene I mean it'd be
(03:58):
perfectly fine I mean he alsohad the looney tunes movie just
right after this.
I forgot about that flopped.
Same thing, though, but youjust add in the Looney Tunes it
was a big chase scene.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
So why not add in Brendan Fraser?
That's probably not the bestpick, but that was just off the
cuff.
Boom.
Eddie Murphy.
Okay, Alright, what you got.
Andrew Faced Jim Carrey.
Didn't you go with Jim carreyin?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
the plan?
Are you saying I can't do jimcarrey again?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I guess you can do jim carrey again if you want, to
all right yeah, okay, okay,okay, okay, yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
sylvester saloon.
Um, okay, I will not do jimcarrey, we'll back off that
Bruce Willis.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Okay, I will not do Jim Carrey, we'll back off that.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Okay, no more Jim Carrey.
That's the rewind.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, you know what?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Let's just get stupid , let's get.
I'm pretty sure we're alreadythere.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Chris Farley.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, That'd be kind of like the that'd give me some
Beverly Hills ninja vibe ofChris Farley mixed with some
almost heroes.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I haven't seen that.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Well, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Classic.
Um, it'd be kind of cool.
Let's go full.
Stupid.
This movie's already stupid.
Let's go full.
Stupid.
This movie's already stupid.
Let's go full stupid.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It needs something to entertain.
I feel like eddie murphy wasjust pumping up too many video
movies at this time period Ithink this is around the time
that you really saw eddie murphy.
Just kind of stop caring I meanhe did the nutty professor he's
putting out dr doolittle.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
He put, I mean as far as like acting yeah I would say
so probably I mean, you canmaybe argue.
I would say maybe the first drdoolittle, maybe, even though
it's like kind of a trashy movie.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I mean, even then I remember that was such a hyped
movie.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
But you look at his role in like beverly hills cop.
Beverly hills cop 2.
Beverly Hills Cop.
Beverly Hills Cop 2.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Coming to America.
Coming to America, tradingplaces.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Uh-huh, like he is chewing up the scenery.
He's flexing his comedic bicepshere.
Oh, he looks bored he looksbored.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
This is his entry into kind of not this movie per
se but his other movies theDoctor Doolittle, the Nutty
Professors.
I think that was his entry kindof into not this movie per se
but his other movies the DoctorDolittle, the Nutty Professors.
I think that was his entry kindof into the kids movie Like the
family friendly.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Besides, I think it was Norbert, wasn't he in that,
norbert?
Yeah, he was.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, he was.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I think he was the main character in that, but I
think he kind of tried to crawlback out, which didn't flop.
I think this was kind of thisflopping period for the most
part, and I think these types ofmovies were.
The reason why people saw themwas because Eddie Murphy's name
was on it and you're like, okay,let's see what Eddie Murphy's
got.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
We hoped for so long it would be something good, but
it just never was Exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
We're still hoping.
I mean, look at what he's stillputting out.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I would still I yeah he's been pretty much back in
that hole yep which is kind of ashame.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
He's a good actor he's more of a, he just needs to
.
He can't be the lead anymore.
I feel like at this point Ifeel like he's gotta be like a
shop owner in a movie or a copor you know, just like a hit of
something or teacher.
I think he'd be a fantasticlike teacher.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, or you need to do a kind of buddy cop situation
and put him with another actorthat he vibes really well with.
Yeah, I mean, I think tradingplaces kind of showed us a
little bit of that I guess.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I guess we'll figure out in beverly hills cop the new
one coming oh, there's a newone.
Yeah, there's gonna be beverlyhills cop 4 coming out soon.
Oh, we got to go through thefirst three.
Um, I know the second coming toamerica was a flopper I have
not seen that it was terrible.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I was so excited and I saw it was a flop and I'm like
, ah, maybe I'll just pass thatthat's wise, wisely.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
So I was like you know.
I actually kind of enjoyed thewhole nightlife I had going at
(08:25):
his own club in the verybeginning.
Okay I actually enjoyed theopening.
Never mind, I'm gonna go to theopening where he's at this bar
in space mish, they're about todo a porcelain battery at that
hole, just like how that allplays out.
I'm just like, okay, you, youcaught me, you got a good hook
(08:46):
right here for a second.
You got me for the next fiveminutes.
So I just kind of enjoy howthat kind of plays out and he's
like a well-known.
It's like who is pluto nashthen?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
exactly that kept bugging me about the movie is
like he used to be a smuggler.
I guess is is the gimmick, um.
But he's a well-known smuggler.
Everyone knows this guy.
He's like pluto nash yeah, I'llmurder for you, I'll do
anything.
I'll give you my car.
(09:18):
Do you want my wife?
I'll give you my wife.
Do anything for Pluto Nash.
It's like they don't doanything to establish that to us
.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, we don't know who he is, we just know that
he's well-known.
And that's what hooked me in islike okay, oh see that bugged
me.
No, I like that in the for abeginning of a movie, but I want
some answers and this moviecame with no answers.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, and that's what I don't like it's like you see
han solo we know what he's knownfor yeah, because he's seen the
other six billion star wars outthere, right yeah?
But also, like just in thefirst one, it's like okay, yeah,
he's got some podunk, you knowfreighter ship, but he did the
castle run.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
That was his big claim to fame yeah, and it's
like okay, he hits it off rightaway, though in star wars I
believe he talks about thecastle run.
But I'm okay with the movie.
If you don't drop it out likethat right off the bat, I'm okay
with that too.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
If you don't drop it off like that right off the bat,
I'm okay with that too, butgive us something Like anything
at all.
But instead all they'd say islike oh, he's famous, trust us,
he's famous.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
That's what it gets.
I like it, though I like that alittle bit, but I mean, give us
some answers.
Give us some answers as to whatfor.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Give us some answers why these people are chasing
after it and want to kill plutonash?
Besides the property right, Ithink that is what and the whole
cloning situation.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, why do you want to be pluto and why?
Why are you hiding away?
Exactly.
So I just to me the intro, theintro of the movie, though I
should clarify.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Why is the clone hiding away exactly?
Aka eddie murphy yeah, uh,favorite scene for me is
actually going to be with alecbaldwin uncredited, when he
played the gangster in the onlyscene, because I don't know of
any movie where he's played agangster and that gave me kind
of like I kind of want to seehow baldwin play, play gangster.
(11:12):
I feel like he's played one inanother movie.
I looked it up while you weretalking.
I actually looked it up and youdidn't see another one.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I didn't see another one.
Wow, I feel like he should havebeen another one.
Right, he kind of fits like anatural like you kind of figured
he would Even as like his 30Rock character you could kind of
see.
You can definitely see agangster type guy in his 30 rock
yeah, that's interesting uhsecond, or just kind of putting
(11:40):
this in there as a as aconsolation prize for scenes, it
would be probably the johncleese when john cleese gets
interned into the movie johncleese is kind of the best part
about this movie.
He's like the car and thecomedic scene between.
I mean, this should be one ofthose games right here, but it's
(12:01):
just in one answer, the gamewhere you have to connect actors
through movies, the fourthdegree of Kevin Bacon or
whatever.
It is Right, but I like to playit with two different actors.
So I think this one right hereis a perfect, like Randy Quaid
and John Cleese, like ifsomebody dropped that I'd be
like, hmm, let me try to connectthat.
I would not think of this movie.
No, also, I was just thinkinglet's swap Eddie Murphy and John
(12:29):
Cleese If this movie came outin like 80s sure.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
But not for its time period, not for 2001.
But if it was like 80s?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
sure, but not for that's time, for not for its
time, not for 2001, but no, ifit was like 80s, swap them, swap
them, but not now.
No, not or not in that timeperiod not in that time period.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
This movie should not be made now, I mean I I'd be
down for a remake it dependswho's in.
It depends what we're doingwith it.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I think it could be.
I mean, there's potential hereyeah and I honestly think that
the scenery in this movie, thefirst time I watched it I think
that's what caught me was thescenery the city was kind of
cool.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
The city was kind of cool and city was kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, and just with the fact that it's like in space
, you know, that's kind of whatkind of dragged me in the very
first time I saw this movie.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Now watching it for the second time, I had more
important things to do on myfantasy football team I think
you'll notice something,audience members, about our
discussion of this movie, whichis there's not a whole lot to
talk about, it's just a bigchase scene.
It's just a big chase scenebeginning to end.
He saves his friend and thenthey're chased, starting two
(13:50):
years later when he takes overhis friend's nightclub, and then
he sees clone himself and theclone himself dies and he, he's
fine again I would say that this, this movie, is probably the
jokes it has, and there's not alot, obviously for that's.
That's the thing is like, evenas like comedic gags, like for
(14:13):
like movies that just rely onjust comedic gags and not like a
through line kind of story,like uh, like a cone heads type
thing yeah, not a lot therethere's not a lot there, but I
think here there's, there's nota lot there.
There's no like single littlegags that like stick out to me,
I do.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I would say, though, that these I mean obviously
there is one.
Well, the, the made ball, themade bot.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, I stand corrected.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah, the made bot but I would say that these gags
are definitely.
It hits that pg-13 like rightin that rating.
They're pulling their punches.
Perfect like it's.
It's not not about to hit thatrated r.
It's not definitely geared tothat pg.
It's right in that middle thatpg-13.
(15:00):
It hits it right in the square.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I I haven't looked up any facts on this, but this
hits me as a movie that wasrated r initially and then was
told, hey, let's make this forfamilies, and then they kind of
doled that up, doled it up?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Do you think like Rosario Dawson?
Do you think she was just like,hmm, let's pull back?
Obviously, I don't see EddieMurphy or Randy Quaid giving or
care about it.
Like, yeah, let's bring it on.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, no, I don't see John Cleese or Luis Guzman
caring.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I think Rosario Dawson would be the one out of
the big actors in this.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Even then, no offense to her.
She does a great job with whatshe's given, but you could have
replaced her with anyone else.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'm surprised they actually didn't bring her name.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I don't think she would have enough pull to be
like hey, let's gum this up tobe a family movie, that's true.
That's why I'm like maybe it'sa studio decision.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Must have been.
That sucks.
Luis Guzman, I keep onforgetting about him until you
bring him up in each, like youbrought him up in the character
list or who was in this movie,and then you just brought him in
a second ago.
I always forget that.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
He's just in this movie.
He's just in this movie.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
He's one of those characters and you know what?
He's probably one of the bettercharacters in this movie,
actually.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
They needed more Luis .
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, they would have brought more comedy.
That guy is secretly comedygold sometimes, sometimes, yeah,
sometimes it'scos a moreserious role for him.
I did not enjoy him as GomezAdams.
He was Gomez, he was Gomez.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
In what In the?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Wednesday oh, and I enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's a Okay.
I thought, it was a terriblepick.
I got to say, like, what is hisname?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
the first guy that played uh his name, but I can
picture him right now um.
I can look him up um okay, areyou talking about the very first
guy?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah, raul Julia, raul Julia.
Yeah, I know who you're talkingabout.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
It's hard to one-up that I still think Luis Guzman
is not your person.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
No, but I'm just saying that's a tough act to
follow.
That's a tough act to follow.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
That's a tough act to follow.
I think you could still base itoff of it.
I think you can.
I think you could If you goback and look at the Addams
Family TV show from way backwhen.
You could base it off that.
You could do it.
I can beat Cabo.
When you could base it off thatyou could do it, I can be
Camaro Gomez.
No, you can't.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yes, I can.
I can be Gomez.
You're saying that because yourname's Roll and the original
actor's name's Roll.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
And I can be Gomez, I'm.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Gomez Say something in Spanish.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Nah, I don't want to be put on the spot.
I don't like to be put on thespot.
I beg to differ.
Really yeah, I don't want to beput on the spot.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Gomez is an exhibitionist.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
We were trying to make it through without any cuts
.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That's not a cut.
That's not a cut.
An exhibitionist is justsomebody who likes to show off
for a crowd.
That is it.
That is it.
It's somebody who loves doingtheatrics in front of people.
It's not necessarily somethingraunchy, it's Audience raunchy.
Mm-hmm, it's Audience.
(18:53):
I'm getting death glare.
Yep.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Pluto Nash.
Eddie Murphy, eddie Murphy, Ithink we were Not a cut.
We were expecting more of thismovie.
We were expecting when wepicked this movie I think you
and I both remembered it in adifferent way and it definitely
did not hit us in that way thatwe are hoping.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I don't really remember this movie fondly.
I just thought it would be likeone of those like toy soldiers
where it was like it's trashy,but it's like fun trash, like
it's fast food, you know, likemovie fast food.
Here are you looking up theword exhibitionist?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
no, I was actually gonna say, um, mr john mac,
johnny mac 14 on ig.
I don't know him.
I would not say follow this man, by the way, because I do not
know him and I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Why did you just read off?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
so, because he commented it perfectly poop
emoji, poop emoji, poop emoji,poop emoji.
Guess what poop?
Emoji yeah, he hit us with fivepoop emojis on the on the Pluto
.
Nash so I think Mr Johnny Macmight be on to something for
this movie.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah, yeah, boy, there's really just not a whole
lot to talk about, but Wow.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I'm going gonna make a pause you know, I, I, uh, I.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I go above and beyond with my pauses.
If you had a business on themoon, what would your business
be?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I think, uh, actually pluto had a good business for
the moon A club, absolutelyBecause you got to think about
who's going to make it to themoon Rich Mm-hmm.
So you're telling me, I can'tjust get a bottle of Hornitos
tequila and then upsell it for$50 a shot and make a bunch of
(21:14):
money that way.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Okay, I got to disagree with you.
Okay, what you got?
Similar angle the rich aregoing to be going up there.
We're talking people who havetime to go to the gym to work
out.
I'm opening up a gym on themoon.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Terrible idea.
No, because hear me out.
Speaker 2 (21:34):

They weaken because there'slittle resistance against them.
There's no air up there.
We're going to the moon.
Similar thing Terrible.

Do I see the animal deposited into the?
No, okay, so I don't know wherethey're at.
No, in that case, I'm goinggorilla if I were to see them
put in.
If they're being put in at thesame time as me, then yeah, no,
I'm taking black, I'm not eventrying, that thing's gonna stink
up on me.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I'd rather just go hide in a mall away from the
gorilla, or it can't see me.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
What.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
The gorilla.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Gorillas have x-ray vision Right.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Maybe in Planet of the Apes, but not here, but no.
So think about that situation,but put it in the Pluto Nash
world, okay.
So situation, but put it in thepluto nash world, okay.
So, with that being said, howscary would that be?
A black mamba?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
just floating through space.
Why is this what you'rethinking about?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I don't know, this is like I just do.
My head is a black mambafloating through space at me,
trying to grab me.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Could you imagine getting hit by some?
Just flying through space.
I think I'd rather get hit bythe black mamba.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I just think the black mamba coming at me.
But at least it's done and I'mlike at least it's done, it's
over with.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I don't have to suffer with you.
Know you gotta, you gotta dealwith it.
You gotta like, oh, what's thison my face?
I?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
think I think the black mamba flew through the air
, got to deal with it.
You got like, oh, what's thison my face?
I think I think the black mamaflown through the air.
Scary, I just, I just, you knowyou put you put me in the moon
with a black mamba or a gorilla.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I still think I choose the gorilla okay, well,
just throwing it out there, butthis is going to be another
pause you editing this one, thennope, nope, this one's sane oh,
pauses no, um.
(24:45):
So let's say you go to the moon.
Are you going to be hooking upwith Rosaria Dawson?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
No, I'm a married man .
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Oh, my trap card failed.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You fell into my trap card.
Andrew.
Welcome to Magical Cylinders.
Cylinders, Isn't it what it'scalled?
What's it called the Yu-Gi-Ohcard, where you shoot at me and
I shoot it right back at you?
I don't know.
I think it's like MagicCylinders something like that.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Oh, to shoot it right back at you I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I think it's like magic cylinders something like
that.
Now I gotta draw two cards andI play you know what better
movie andrew has?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
better movie yugioh absolutely.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I'd rather watch the yugioh movie.
Have plenty of times, I'llwatch any of them almost any of
there's multiple.
There's multiple yug's,multiple Yu-Gi-Oh movies.
I'm surprised they haven't madea live action Yu-Gi-Oh yet.
Give me that over this Done.
What if it sucked?
Still better than this.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
The person who ever has Yu-Gi's hair is definitely
worth watching Dragon Ball ZLive action or this.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
The Dragon Ball Z live action was more
entertaining than this.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'm actually with you Avatar.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
The Last Airbender.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Live action.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yep, I'd rather watch that.
It's kind of sad because Iactually remember enjoying
watching this movie for thefirst time and then now looking
back.
It's terrible, it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
It is extremely boring I'm gonna dive into my
final thoughts, please do andI'm gonna say save this podcast
from becoming pluto nash yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So we're just gonna dive right into it and I'm gonna
say that this movie is a twoout of ten, but it's only saving
grace is, uh, probably just thescenery, a little bit like the
set design.
Yeah, I think they did a greatjob there, everything else yeah
so two out of ten.
(26:59):
Um, definitely a skip,definitely a snooze fest.
Kids, would you let your kidswatch this?
No, no, there's too many dirtyjokes in there.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
And that's the problem.
This movie is like hey, let'swhat I'm saying.
It feels like it's a movie thatwas rated R and they gummed it
up to be PG, pg-13, and it stilldoesn't even work.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
If it was rated R, I think it would have been better
100%.
If it went straight to the PG,better Rated R r.
We're talking like total recalcstyle.
Yeah, I think this would be amovie where I'm gonna forget
about again and I'm gonna watchit with a kid, with my kid
eventually, and I'm gonna belike I'm so sorry that we
watched that movie.
The kids gonna be dying.
(27:43):
I'm back.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Not all of us are winners my mom looks at me every
day and is like man, I couldhave done better not all heroes
wear capes um yeah, I'm notgonna give this a 2, I'm just
gonna give this a 0 yeah um, I,the moon set design was like
(28:13):
pretty good but like not.
I'm just going to give this azero.
Yeah, the moon set design waspretty good, but it's not
anything notable.
It's just the same.
Grace to me it's no Mario Bros,where it's kind of impressive.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
A lot better movie.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Mario Bros yeah, oh yeah, give me that, oh yeah,
john Mugazamo, bob Haskins,easily, yeah oh yeah, give me
that.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Oh yeah, john Mugazamo.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Bob Haskins Easily, this was just boring trash.
This was Snoozefest.
Yeah, I kind of spaced outabout 20 minutes in for the rest
of the movie and did not miss athing.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
He said fantasy football was better.
Checking the Mariners game wasbetter Texting friends was
better.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Checking the Mariners game was better.
Texting friends was better.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
It was Making fantasy football trades.
There's a lot of tradenegotiations that happened
during this.
Wow yeah, it was prettysuccessful.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Did you get Rosario Dawson's?
No, and with that we've gotanother episode of Backseat
Critics.
We've got some good draft picksof fantasy football.

Oh, the same time, we don't dothat often.
I'm RJ, that was Andrew.
We're both exhibitionists.
Oh my gosh, don't worry.
I just saw that going up and down.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Yeah, just like Pluto Nash.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
And welcome back to the Backseat Critics.
My name's RJ.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
My name's Andrew.
This week, we're talking aboutPluto Nash Starring Eddie Murphy
.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
And Randy Quaid.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And Rosario Dawson.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
And also Eddie Murphy .
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Jay Moore.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
And Eddie Murphy and rosario dawson and also eddie
murphy, jay moore and um eddiemurphy louis guzman that's a
good one.
But I think there's, oh, eddiemurphy, peter boyle, oh, that's
a good one.
Oh, what about eddie murphy inthis one?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
oh, oh, oh folks, we got John Cleese we do have John
Cleese.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
That's right, we did have John Cleese, but we did
have Eddie Murphy.
And Burt Young yeah that's true, but there was Eddie Murphy.
Pam Greer oh my Eddie EddieMurphy, eddie Murphy.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Eddie Murphy's the one.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
We also have what's that?
One actor's name that was inthis.
Was it Eddie Murphy?
No, it was Randy Quaid.
Get it together, my guy.
Jeez, what's weird.
Isdie murphy's, the big actorin this movie, cut it out.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I am looking at the cast and you know who?
I don't see who.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Baldwin ah, he was in it for just a split sec he's
not credited here at, at leaston Google.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Smartly, let me check the Wisely All-knowing database
of IMDB.
Yeah, imdb.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well, while Andrew's checking out IMDB, I'd like to
start out with the summary ofthis movie.
Basically, we have Eddie Murphywho walks in just straight off
the streets from jail into alittle casino area actually a
little bar area where this dudeis playing the bagpipes and
singing.
He's about to get drowned ingasoline and killed, or coolant
(02:15):
and killed battery acid actually.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Glug, glug, glug.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Instead, eddie Murphy says oh nope, let me take over
the bar and you save my friend.
At the end of the day, hebecomes a hit nightclub owner.
And then some guy wants to belike Eddie Murphy and take over
the world by being EddieMurphy's character, pluto Nash.
And there's other things thathappen.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
But yeah, that's basically it.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
That's basically the nutshell.
Yeah, After that it's just abig chase scene.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's a really long chase scene with eddie murphy,
rosario dawson and randy quaidso I did find alec baldwin on
the all-knowing imdb, your db,but he's but, but, but, but but
he's listed as uncredited're dbI am db.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
You are to be all right, so any murphy in this
movie bad if you could swap himfor any other comedic actor any
other comedian.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
There's no saving this no there is, but if we're
to, if we're to take to takePluto Nash from what it is and
make it something marginallybetter.
What actor are you bringing tothis?
I got mine locked and loaded.
Brendan Fraser, ooh.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Why Back during that time period he's kind of big.
Yeah, he's coming fresh offDudley Do-Right, perfect time
period for him, almost Okay.
I feel like he'd just kind ofbe a big actor to throw in there
that people would probably gosee because he just I don't feel
like this is like a straightadventure movie, like what he's
typically done no, but thatchase scene I mean it'd be
(03:58):
perfectly fine I mean he alsohad the looney tunes movie just
right after this.
I forgot about that flopped.
Same thing, though, but youjust add in the Looney Tunes it
was a big chase scene.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
So why not add in Brendan Fraser?
That's probably not the bestpick, but that was just off the
cuff.
Boom.
Eddie Murphy.
Okay, Alright, what you got.
Andrew Faced Jim Carrey.
Didn't you go with Jim carreyin?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
the plan?
Are you saying I can't do jimcarrey again?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I guess you can do jim carrey again if you want, to
all right yeah, okay, okay,okay, okay, yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
sylvester saloon.
Um, okay, I will not do jimcarrey, we'll back off that
Bruce Willis.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Okay, I will not do Jim Carrey, we'll back off that.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Okay, no more Jim Carrey.
That's the rewind.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, you know what?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Let's just get stupid , let's get.
I'm pretty sure we're alreadythere.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Chris Farley.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, That'd be kind of like the that'd give me some
Beverly Hills ninja vibe ofChris Farley mixed with some
almost heroes.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I haven't seen that.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Well, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Classic.
Um, it'd be kind of cool.
Let's go full.
Stupid.
This movie's already stupid.
Let's go full.
Stupid.
This movie's already stupid.
Let's go full stupid.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It needs something to entertain.
I feel like eddie murphy wasjust pumping up too many video
movies at this time period Ithink this is around the time
that you really saw eddie murphy.
Just kind of stop caring I meanhe did the nutty professor he's
putting out dr doolittle.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
He put, I mean as far as like acting yeah I would say
so probably I mean, you canmaybe argue.
I would say maybe the first drdoolittle, maybe, even though
it's like kind of a trashy movie.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I mean, even then I remember that was such a hyped
movie.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
But you look at his role in like beverly hills cop.
Beverly hills cop 2.
Beverly Hills Cop.
Beverly Hills Cop 2.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Coming to America.
Coming to America, tradingplaces.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Uh-huh, like he is chewing up the scenery.
He's flexing his comedic bicepshere.
Oh, he looks bored he looksbored.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
This is his entry into kind of not this movie per
se but his other movies theDoctor Doolittle, the Nutty
Professors.
I think that was his entry kindof into not this movie per se
but his other movies the DoctorDolittle, the Nutty Professors.
I think that was his entry kindof into the kids movie Like the
family friendly.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Besides, I think it was Norbert, wasn't he in that,
norbert?
Yeah, he was.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, he was.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I think he was the main character in that, but I
think he kind of tried to crawlback out, which didn't flop.
I think this was kind of thisflopping period for the most
part, and I think these types ofmovies were.
The reason why people saw themwas because Eddie Murphy's name
was on it and you're like, okay,let's see what Eddie Murphy's
got.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
We hoped for so long it would be something good, but
it just never was Exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
We're still hoping.
I mean, look at what he's stillputting out.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I would still I yeah he's been pretty much back in
that hole yep which is kind of ashame.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
He's a good actor he's more of a, he just needs to
.
He can't be the lead anymore.
I feel like at this point Ifeel like he's gotta be like a
shop owner in a movie or a copor you know, just like a hit of
something or teacher.
I think he'd be a fantasticlike teacher.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, or you need to do a kind of buddy cop situation
and put him with another actorthat he vibes really well with.
Yeah, I mean, I think tradingplaces kind of showed us a
little bit of that I guess.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I guess we'll figure out in beverly hills cop the new
one coming oh, there's a newone.
Yeah, there's gonna be beverlyhills cop 4 coming out soon.
Oh, we got to go through thefirst three.
Um, I know the second coming toamerica was a flopper I have
not seen that it was terrible.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I was so excited and I saw it was a flop and I'm like
, ah, maybe I'll just pass thatthat's wise, wisely.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
So I was like you know.
I actually kind of enjoyed thewhole nightlife I had going at
(08:25):
his own club in the verybeginning.
Okay I actually enjoyed theopening.
Never mind, I'm gonna go to theopening where he's at this bar
in space mish, they're about todo a porcelain battery at that
hole, just like how that allplays out.
I'm just like, okay, you, youcaught me, you got a good hook
(08:46):
right here for a second.
You got me for the next fiveminutes.
So I just kind of enjoy howthat kind of plays out and he's
like a well-known.
It's like who is pluto nashthen?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
exactly that kept bugging me about the movie is
like he used to be a smuggler.
I guess is is the gimmick, um.
But he's a well-known smuggler.
Everyone knows this guy.
He's like pluto nash yeah, I'llmurder for you, I'll do
anything.
I'll give you my car.
(09:18):
Do you want my wife?
I'll give you my wife.
Do anything for Pluto Nash.
It's like they don't doanything to establish that to us
.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, we don't know who he is, we just know that
he's well-known.
And that's what hooked me in islike okay, oh see that bugged
me.
No, I like that in the for abeginning of a movie, but I want
some answers and this moviecame with no answers.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, and that's what I don't like it's like you see
han solo we know what he's knownfor yeah, because he's seen the
other six billion star wars outthere, right yeah?
But also, like just in thefirst one, it's like okay, yeah,
he's got some podunk, you knowfreighter ship, but he did the
castle run.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
That was his big claim to fame yeah, and it's
like okay, he hits it off rightaway, though in star wars I
believe he talks about thecastle run.
But I'm okay with the movie.
If you don't drop it out likethat right off the bat, I'm okay
with that too.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
If you don't drop it off like that right off the bat,
I'm okay with that too, butgive us something Like anything
at all.
But instead all they'd say islike oh, he's famous, trust us,
he's famous.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
That's what it gets.
I like it, though I like that alittle bit, but I mean, give us
some answers.
Give us some answers as to whatfor.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Give us some answers why these people are chasing
after it and want to kill plutonash?
Besides the property right, Ithink that is what and the whole
cloning situation.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, why do you want to be pluto and why?
Why are you hiding away?
Exactly.
So I just to me the intro, theintro of the movie, though I
should clarify.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Why is the clone hiding away exactly?
Aka eddie murphy yeah, uh,favorite scene for me is
actually going to be with alecbaldwin uncredited, when he
played the gangster in the onlyscene, because I don't know of
any movie where he's played agangster and that gave me kind
of like I kind of want to seehow baldwin play, play gangster.
(11:12):
I feel like he's played one inanother movie.
I looked it up while you weretalking.
I actually looked it up and youdidn't see another one.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I didn't see another one.
Wow, I feel like he should havebeen another one.
Right, he kind of fits like anatural like you kind of figured
he would Even as like his 30Rock character you could kind of
see.
You can definitely see agangster type guy in his 30 rock
yeah, that's interesting uhsecond, or just kind of putting
(11:40):
this in there as a as aconsolation prize for scenes, it
would be probably the johncleese when john cleese gets
interned into the movie johncleese is kind of the best part
about this movie.
He's like the car and thecomedic scene between.
I mean, this should be one ofthose games right here, but it's
(12:01):
just in one answer, the gamewhere you have to connect actors
through movies, the fourthdegree of Kevin Bacon or
whatever.
It is Right, but I like to playit with two different actors.
So I think this one right hereis a perfect, like Randy Quaid
and John Cleese, like ifsomebody dropped that I'd be
like, hmm, let me try to connectthat.
I would not think of this movie.
No, also, I was just thinkinglet's swap Eddie Murphy and John
(12:29):
Cleese If this movie came outin like 80s sure.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
But not for its time period, not for 2001.
But if it was like 80s?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
sure, but not for that's time, for not for its
time, not for 2001, but no, ifit was like 80s, swap them, swap
them, but not now.
No, not or not in that timeperiod not in that time period.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
This movie should not be made now, I mean I I'd be
down for a remake it dependswho's in.
It depends what we're doingwith it.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I think it could be.
I mean, there's potential hereyeah and I honestly think that
the scenery in this movie, thefirst time I watched it I think
that's what caught me was thescenery the city was kind of
cool.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
The city was kind of cool and city was kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, and just with the fact that it's like in space
, you know, that's kind of whatkind of dragged me in the very
first time I saw this movie.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Now watching it for the second time, I had more
important things to do on myfantasy football team I think
you'll notice something,audience members, about our
discussion of this movie, whichis there's not a whole lot to
talk about, it's just a bigchase scene.
It's just a big chase scenebeginning to end.
He saves his friend and thenthey're chased, starting two
(13:50):
years later when he takes overhis friend's nightclub, and then
he sees clone himself and theclone himself dies and he, he's
fine again I would say that this, this movie, is probably the
jokes it has, and there's not alot, obviously for that's.
That's the thing is like, evenas like comedic gags, like for
(14:13):
like movies that just rely onjust comedic gags and not like a
through line kind of story,like uh, like a cone heads type
thing yeah, not a lot therethere's not a lot there, but I
think here there's, there's nota lot there.
There's no like single littlegags that like stick out to me,
I do.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I would say, though, that these I mean obviously
there is one.
Well, the, the made ball, themade bot.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, I stand corrected.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah, the made bot but I would say that these gags
are definitely.
It hits that pg-13 like rightin that rating.
They're pulling their punches.
Perfect like it's.
It's not not about to hit thatrated r.
It's not definitely geared tothat pg.
It's right in that middle thatpg-13.
(15:00):
It hits it right in the square.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I I haven't looked up any facts on this, but this
hits me as a movie that wasrated r initially and then was
told, hey, let's make this forfamilies, and then they kind of
doled that up, doled it up?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Do you think like Rosario Dawson?
Do you think she was just like,hmm, let's pull back?
Obviously, I don't see EddieMurphy or Randy Quaid giving or
care about it.
Like, yeah, let's bring it on.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, no, I don't see John Cleese or Luis Guzman
caring.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I think Rosario Dawson would be the one out of
the big actors in this.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Even then, no offense to her.
She does a great job with whatshe's given, but you could have
replaced her with anyone else.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'm surprised they actually didn't bring her name.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I don't think she would have enough pull to be
like hey, let's gum this up tobe a family movie, that's true.
That's why I'm like maybe it'sa studio decision.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Must have been.
That sucks.
Luis Guzman, I keep onforgetting about him until you
bring him up in each, like youbrought him up in the character
list or who was in this movie,and then you just brought him in
a second ago.
I always forget that.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
He's just in this movie.
He's just in this movie.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
He's one of those characters and you know what?
He's probably one of the bettercharacters in this movie,
actually.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
They needed more Luis .
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, they would have brought more comedy.
That guy is secretly comedygold sometimes, sometimes, yeah,
sometimes it'scos a moreserious role for him.
I did not enjoy him as GomezAdams.
He was Gomez, he was Gomez.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
In what In the?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Wednesday oh, and I enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's a Okay.
I thought, it was a terriblepick.
I got to say, like, what is hisname?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
the first guy that played uh his name, but I can
picture him right now um.
I can look him up um okay, areyou talking about the very first
guy?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah, raul Julia, raul Julia.
Yeah, I know who you're talkingabout.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
It's hard to one-up that I still think Luis Guzman
is not your person.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
No, but I'm just saying that's a tough act to
follow.
That's a tough act to follow.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
That's a tough act to follow.
I think you could still base itoff of it.
I think you can.
I think you could If you goback and look at the Addams
Family TV show from way backwhen.
You could base it off that.
You could do it.
I can beat Cabo.
When you could base it off thatyou could do it, I can be
Camaro Gomez.
No, you can't.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yes, I can.
I can be Gomez.
You're saying that because yourname's Roll and the original
actor's name's Roll.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
And I can be Gomez, I'm.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Gomez Say something in Spanish.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Nah, I don't want to be put on the spot.
I don't like to be put on thespot.
I beg to differ.
Really yeah, I don't want to beput on the spot.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Gomez is an exhibitionist.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
We were trying to make it through without any cuts
.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That's not a cut.
That's not a cut.
An exhibitionist is justsomebody who likes to show off
for a crowd.
That is it.
That is it.
It's somebody who loves doingtheatrics in front of people.
It's not necessarily somethingraunchy, it's Audience raunchy.
Mm-hmm, it's Audience.
(18:53):
I'm getting death glare.
Yep.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Pluto Nash.
Eddie Murphy, eddie Murphy, Ithink we were Not a cut.
We were expecting more of thismovie.
We were expecting when wepicked this movie I think you
and I both remembered it in adifferent way and it definitely
did not hit us in that way thatwe are hoping.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I don't really remember this movie fondly.
I just thought it would be likeone of those like toy soldiers
where it was like it's trashy,but it's like fun trash, like
it's fast food, you know, likemovie fast food.
Here are you looking up theword exhibitionist?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
no, I was actually gonna say, um, mr john mac,
johnny mac 14 on ig.
I don't know him.
I would not say follow this man, by the way, because I do not
know him and I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Why did you just read off?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
so, because he commented it perfectly poop
emoji, poop emoji, poop emoji,poop emoji.
Guess what poop?
Emoji yeah, he hit us with fivepoop emojis on the on the Pluto
.
Nash so I think Mr Johnny Macmight be on to something for
this movie.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah, yeah, boy, there's really just not a whole
lot to talk about, but Wow.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I'm going gonna make a pause you know, I, I, uh, I.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I go above and beyond with my pauses.
If you had a business on themoon, what would your business
be?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I think, uh, actually pluto had a good business for
the moon A club, absolutelyBecause you got to think about
who's going to make it to themoon Rich Mm-hmm.
So you're telling me, I can'tjust get a bottle of Hornitos
tequila and then upsell it for$50 a shot and make a bunch of
(21:14):
money that way.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Okay, I got to disagree with you.
Okay, what you got?
Similar angle the rich aregoing to be going up there.
We're talking people who havetime to go to the gym to work
out.
I'm opening up a gym on themoon.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Terrible idea.
No, because hear me out.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I'm hearing you.
Astronauts atrophy out in space.
Their muscles get smaller.
They weaken because there'slittle resistance against them.
There's no air up there.
We're going to the moon.
Similar thing Terrible.
They're bouncing around up onon the moon.
There's some oxygen in thecities, but like they're
bouncing around.
No, I'm gonna open up a gym.
(21:55):
People are going to be going tothat gym to keep their muscles
from atrophying terrible idea,oh it's a great idea it or a
gorilla.
The black mamba.
No, 100%, no, I've got thewhole mall to myself, the whole
(22:20):
mall to yourself, but you have agorilla and one black mamba and
one black mamba.
I'm taking the black mamba.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
No, that thing can hide, it can get into the places
that you're at and it canstrike you and you're dead.
If you have 24 hours.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Oh, okay, so we're just making up rules as we go
here.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
No, you have 24 hours If you make it through you have
$90.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Do I have to?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
sleep.
You don't have to sleep.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I'm taking the gorilla.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Do I see the animal deposited into the?
No, okay, so I don't know wherethey're at.
No, in that case, I'm goinggorilla if I were to see them
put in.
If they're being put in at thesame time as me, then yeah, no,
I'm taking black, I'm not eventrying, that thing's gonna stink
up on me.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I'd rather just go hide in a mall away from the
gorilla, or it can't see me.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
What.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
The gorilla.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Gorillas have x-ray vision Right.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Maybe in Planet of the Apes, but not here, but no.
So think about that situation,but put it in the Pluto Nash
world, okay.
So situation, but put it in thepluto nash world, okay.
So, with that being said, howscary would that be?
A black mamba?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
just floating through space.
Why is this what you'rethinking about?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I don't know, this is like I just do.
My head is a black mambafloating through space at me,
trying to grab me.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Could you imagine getting hit by some?
Just flying through space.
I think I'd rather get hit bythe black mamba.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I just think the black mamba coming at me.
But at least it's done and I'mlike at least it's done, it's
over with.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I don't have to suffer with you.
Know you gotta, you gotta dealwith it.
You gotta like, oh, what's thison my face?
I?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
think I think the black mamba flew through the air
, got to deal with it.
You got like, oh, what's thison my face?
I think I think the black mamaflown through the air.
Scary, I just, I just, you knowyou put you put me in the moon
with a black mamba or a gorilla.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I still think I choose the gorilla okay, well,
just throwing it out there, butthis is going to be another
pause you editing this one, thennope, nope, this one's sane oh,
pauses no, um.
(24:45):
So let's say you go to the moon.
Are you going to be hooking upwith Rosaria Dawson?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
No, I'm a married man .
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Oh, my trap card failed.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You fell into my trap card.
Andrew.
Welcome to Magical Cylinders.
Cylinders, Isn't it what it'scalled?
What's it called the Yu-Gi-Ohcard, where you shoot at me and
I shoot it right back at you?
I don't know.
I think it's like MagicCylinders something like that.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Oh, to shoot it right back at you I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I think it's like magic cylinders something like
that.
Now I gotta draw two cards andI play you know what better
movie andrew has?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
better movie yugioh absolutely.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I'd rather watch the yugioh movie.
Have plenty of times, I'llwatch any of them almost any of
there's multiple.
There's multiple yug's,multiple Yu-Gi-Oh movies.
I'm surprised they haven't madea live action Yu-Gi-Oh yet.
Give me that over this Done.
What if it sucked?
Still better than this.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
The person who ever has Yu-Gi's hair is definitely
worth watching Dragon Ball ZLive action or this.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
The Dragon Ball Z live action was more
entertaining than this.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'm actually with you Avatar.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
The Last Airbender.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Live action.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yep, I'd rather watch that.
It's kind of sad because Iactually remember enjoying
watching this movie for thefirst time and then now looking
back.
It's terrible, it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
It is extremely boring I'm gonna dive into my
final thoughts, please do andI'm gonna say save this podcast
from becoming pluto nash yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So we're just gonna dive right into it and I'm gonna
say that this movie is a twoout of ten, but it's only saving
grace is, uh, probably just thescenery, a little bit like the
set design.
Yeah, I think they did a greatjob there, everything else yeah
so two out of ten.
(26:59):
Um, definitely a skip,definitely a snooze fest.
Kids, would you let your kidswatch this?
No, no, there's too many dirtyjokes in there.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
And that's the problem.
This movie is like hey, let'swhat I'm saying.
It feels like it's a movie thatwas rated R and they gummed it
up to be PG, pg-13, and it stilldoesn't even work.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
If it was rated R, I think it would have been better
100%.
If it went straight to the PG,better Rated R r.
We're talking like total recalcstyle.
Yeah, I think this would be amovie where I'm gonna forget
about again and I'm gonna watchit with a kid, with my kid
eventually, and I'm gonna belike I'm so sorry that we
watched that movie.
The kids gonna be dying.
(27:43):
I'm back.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Not all of us are winners my mom looks at me every
day and is like man, I couldhave done better not all heroes
wear capes um yeah, I'm notgonna give this a 2, I'm just
gonna give this a 0 yeah um, I,the moon set design was like
(28:13):
pretty good but like not.
I'm just going to give this azero.
Yeah, the moon set design waspretty good, but it's not
anything notable.
It's just the same.
Grace to me it's no Mario Bros,where it's kind of impressive.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
A lot better movie.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Mario Bros yeah, oh yeah, give me that, oh yeah,
john Mugazamo, bob Haskins,easily, yeah oh yeah, give me
that.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Oh yeah, john Mugazamo.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Bob Haskins Easily, this was just boring trash.
This was Snoozefest.

of the movie and did not miss athing.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
He said fantasy football was better.
Checking the Mariners game wasbetter Texting friends was
better.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Checking the Mariners game was better.
Texting friends was better.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
It was Making fantasy football trades.
There's a lot of tradenegotiations that happened
during this.
