And now I'm having so much fun looking at your
facial hair.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Oh you know what I don't. I can't decide if
I am growing out of beard or if I'm giving
up because two things are really very close.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah, do I unplug from society, just turn it all off?

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Do I just become a beard?

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Dad.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Life is full of fun choices. It is. It's just
and sometimes with a beard, it's not even a choice.
You just don't do anything. Yeah, you don't do it.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
You just look like you eat like microwave mac and cheese.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Oh is that beer you have? Somemong me.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
That's like the ultimate form of giving up to me
is like, okay, every mill's microwave mac and cheese.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Now, I don't care about anyone or anything else.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
I'm just gonna eat pasta forever.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
I think that's a healthy way to live.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
My husband's back from working and I don't have to
walk the dogs by myself.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Nice, that's pretty sweet.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
It's the little things in life. Yeah, yeah, because they
want to get up at like seven thirty.

to me.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh, well, that's sweet.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Doesn't say that. Oh, she doesn't say that. I put
words in her mouth.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
I wrote that and then I taped it. To a
pillow that I talked.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
To exactly because pillows will cuddle you.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, it's so sweet. They don't say no thank you.
Right now, I have a headache.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Your bread smells, that's a common one. If you're going
to cuddle, just go brush your teeth.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah, if you have weird smells, stay on your side.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
There's a line here, it's an invisible line. If your
cold feet touch me, you're dead. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
I don't like I don't like cold anything. Like when
my husband like comes over to cuddle in the.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that'll that'll do it. They

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Why are you even dead with socks on? Ew? I'm
a bedstock guy. Deal with it. No, bandomly, Yeah, I
wear mittens to bed.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
I just earned a whole level of sorrow for your wife.
But I just never had before. And now I'm like,
oh my god, you.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Ready get it in the news.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, why not do it?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
June fifteenth, nineteen eighty five and these so you're not
so current to venus. The baby vegetables are the vogue
in food this year, as baby carrots and baby squash
dominate the vegetable market. Now, if I only I could

(04:50):
convince my wife to eat the baby egg plant, I'm
not giving you.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
This vombit sounds.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
After forty two years, the Coffee American Fashion Critics Award
have been terminated, which sucks because now I don't know
which crop tops to buy. I counted on the Cotty
critics for my krup tops, Jenny just by.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
All of them have a great Torso you're a thin man?
Oh you are? You got a great figure on you.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
A young West German who destroyed a two million Rubens
paintings said his act was a protest against environmental pollution.
He chose his painting in particular because the artist Peter
Paul Rubens was known as a river pooper.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
I don't want to say it. I didn't want to
say it.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
What river pooper? That guy was a river pooper.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Anybody who's accidentally fallen off the boat doesn't want to
hear that joke.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
That's the only environmental pollution I care about.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
The National Zoos failure to make their pandas has caused
them to give the female Lingling hormone treatments to bring
her into heat.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Critics of the move claim that Lingling will struggle to
hold their own against Paccino and a narrow Remember that
movie that I love that movie? I love Oh man,
I do. I love it for all the dumb things,
all the explosions.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
I love it to aid the homeless. Leaders of the
Community for Creative Non Violence were arrested for illegally sitting
in chairs on the White House sidewalk, ultimately challenging the
concept of the word creative. Sitting in chairs, that's the
creative part. I'm going to sit in a chair. I

(06:49):
don't know. Maybe set up a high wire I don't
the White House law call it high wire and for
the homeless, Or have obo clowns juggling balls for bread.
I don't know. Do something that's more creative than sitting
on your ass.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
I should have. I should have went an entertainment back then.
Let's consider creator.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Hu that's creative. They brought lawn chairs.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I sit down all the time.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Final arguments were presented in Main's consumer lawsuit against Seers,
claiming the retailer sells useless warranties to its customers because
state law already requires them. State representatives claim the warranties
are as useless as my mother in law.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Jerk. They always try to sell you those on Amazon too,
and you know what, I'm sure Jeff Bezoss too. U.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah, but I am the sucker who did buy one
one time, and I'm like, why did I do that?

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Like it just was two dollars. I'll protect it for
two dollars.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Like why you always buy the ones you don't need
and don't buy the ones that end up breaking. That's
how it works.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah, it's so annoying.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
I bought one for my toaster oven, and that sucker
has been through hell and that I.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Dropped it out of a three store building and it's fine.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
A Navy jet dropped several five hundred pound bombs a
mile away from a practice range, destroying a ghost town
that was eligible for listing as a National landmark. The
pilot proved wasn't for all that he ain't afraid of
no ghosts.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Ghost.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Florida woman was a resid yesterday for setting four brush fires.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Thankfully they were hair brushless. I was like, let me
explain myself because I'm Florida woman.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Now, Oh I got it. Yeah, I didn't control the article. Okay,
that's just how it read. A panel of government scientist
is preparing a comprehensive report on whether snuff and chewing
tobacco are health hazards, concluding that it's most dangerous to
your health when your friend thinks hits his coke and
not your spit cup.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Oh that was so nasty. That happened any more than once.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
It happened to so many people.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
It is the nasty. It's such a nasty thing on
so many levels.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
It's the consistency.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
It's the consistency and knowing that it's your mom's spit
because my mom's the one who did it all the
time and left SODA's laying around with spit in them.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Like that close brite we used to have.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
I had friends in middle school that had no maybe
it was high school, probably high school that just would
do that. It would be near yeahful, wonderful. Under a
federal agreement in Cincinnati, one hundred and fifty eight companies
promised to clean up Ohio's keem Dying toxic waste dump,
which is nice, but the only dumps I need to

(09:44):
cleaned are my wife's. Oh my god, I went hard
on those ones this time.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Oh you do, I just hard on e nasty, nasty,
nasty year on a roll.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
A group of fifty protesters entered the IRS offices at
the Mohawk Mall for a sit in about Reagan's Central
American policies.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Twenty six of them were arrested for refusing to leave
and for sporting fauxhawks. It's a Mohawks Mall only.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, don't try to patch that faux hawk off.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
You aren't tricking anybody.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Finally, last night, top seeded Steve Baudich of Australia defeated
Dale Steiner of Canada to win the first United States
Pro Softball Squashed Championship, winning so handily that you could
say he squashed the competition.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
You squashed him? Didn't he come back? You're not so
kind of bone? Oh boy, this movie, what a delight?

(10:57):
It was, What an absolute delight?

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Already like the opening is already my antet speculation.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
That opening is just so beautiful.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
It's gorgeous.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
It's my favorite opening of the film we've watched so far.
The song because this is a musical from Japan. Let's
just tell people what it is. Yeah, it's basically like
just a bunch of music videos wrapped around the story
and it's so delightful. The first the opening go ahead,

(11:29):
the opening of.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
The Legend of Starbudust Brothers.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
It starts off black and white, like a jazz club
but in the future with robots.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah, and this is this lady who's got like a
curly straw cigarette. It's like whip.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, it's wild. It's like those eighties toys that you
would yeah spen thing. Yeah, it was fun. I had
those kind.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Of straws, the crazy straws.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
The crazy straws that you would blow in your coke.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
But imagine if it was roof, it was tobacco, it
was naughty drugs in it. Yeah, naughty drugs. Naughty Imagine
doing swirlly naughty drugs.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Oh, I love swelling naughty drugs.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Imagine doing that.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Then the half person half yes, this kind of person.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, wonderful outfit.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, one of the mouths go down and one of them.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
And all the the costume design for everybody's great. They're
all like flappers and there's like sphere lights on everybody's
centerpieces on their tables, lots of BoA's feather boas.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
So we're all in black and white. And then they
announced the Stardust Brothers and they come out in blah
color color.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
And they're just like they got all the pizzazzs just
ready to go oh in these silver suits.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Okay, so right now I'm doing my on set speculation,
so I'm watching with and as soon as it opens,
we both were mesmerized by cons package. I mean it
was just so out there and it's like the pants

(13:08):
were pulled up so tight, and it had to pick
a side.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Because it's like a like a silver jumpsuit.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah, like like G said this too, like the day
Man from Always Sunny and Philadelphian Outfits. Yeah, it was awesome,
but it had to pick a side and it was
just like a huge lump that shaked around while he
was dancing. And I just was like, I wonder like
if they just got the costumes told him to do
it and he came out with that and they're like,

(13:36):
just don't say anything to shoot it or if like
he wanted that to happen.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
I definitely think there was a conversations that happened. He
came out in the outfit and there was a line
of people who were like do we is this good
or bad? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:51):
I think a lot of people will really like it.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Do we want this or should we?

Speaker 2 (13:56):
H Is it in the place where we'll still get
a fine rating?

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Is calmcomfortable?

Speaker 2 (14:02):
But is it gonna go?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
But I do have to say, like my very first
job that I ever got, I was a superhero intern.
It was for a spray on deodorant that played in Argentina.
I was sitting in a superhero outfit, you know, super
tight spandex, and I'm just there at a fitting and
they the wardrobe is like, okay, follow us. So I

(14:27):
walk down this hallway and I go into a room
and there's like eight people sitting at a table and
they just stand me there and everyone like looks and
like starts pointing at my junk. They're like what and
then like whispering to each other and like pointing and whispering,
and then like they all get up from behind the
table walk up to me and like look, at me
and is there any way They're like can we just

(14:48):
like like right here? Can we can we do this?

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Oh my god? How have we been friends this long?
And I've never heard this story.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
My first job and I just have eight people like
a bump. I'm like, what do you want me to do?
I'm trying.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
I'm used to being treated that way about my genitals
in my breasts. I'm used to that, but I never
knew that you got objectified in this way.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Well they just were like, we don't want to see it.
Can Yeah? And then I was like, just bring out
the duck?

Speaker 6 (15:19):
Can we flatten it?

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Ex said, can we flatten it? I'm like, I'm wearing
the tightest tidy whities I can in this thing, Like,
unless you want to bring out the duct tape and
take take me back.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
So let me tell you.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
It was just so unfair to Shingo because Shingo had
a lot of rooms.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
This was a little baggy. They ordered the same size
and Con is just so much bigger.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, it's like oh, and then when they were trying
to decide later who has to get in the dress,
we know who goes on the dress. Anyways, that's foreshadowing foreskidding.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
This song goes it's scum of the Stars, I believe
is what it's called. And it's got it's got a
very eighties ska angled buingo mixed with the clash somehow
in a weird way, and I loved it.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, it was great.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
It's great.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
They had a red and a blue drink. They were
choosing between a redmilk to drink, which one to drink
And that was pretty interesting.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
And like Shingo's just like eating a bunch of food.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Like a shramp.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, why are we watching him just shove things in
his face?

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Aren't you at the show? Like don't you have things
to do?

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Another thing that's so cool about this Like during the song,
they're cutting back and forth between color and black and white,
and they like mix the shots, so like the colors
mixing with the black and mine. And this is not
easy to do. This is eighty five. We don't have
that technology. And I don't know if you noticed the
monster fish face in the audience.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
They have they have they have hybrids, just.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Like a guy with a fish face sitting there watching
this show, like in the back, You're like, what the
hell is that?

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeah, they have hybrids scattered through the movie that I noticed,
and it's really cool.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
So they finished this wonderful song and Shingo is immediately like,
you guys love us, right, you love us? You love us?
Just bathing, desperate, desperate?

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah you remember who we are?

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Do you remember it was two years ago? Yeah? We
were super famous two years ago. You don't remember us.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Let's tell you our story cut too, and then it
shows CON's performance right of London Boots.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
London Boots, that's the name of his band and the
name of the song.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
That's really It's like, it's like the most simple song ever.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Oh Boots.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
You know, London London.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Boots had a very clash esque sound. They were and
they were just very want to be clashes. Is how
I took that thing head to backstage and all those
people are like yeah yeah yeah those.

Speaker 6 (17:54):
Bandmates, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
They're they're boogeing, and Shingo's like, don't don't dance to this.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Who's the best band there is.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Me and I'm the talented one and you're all pieces
of shit. I carry this.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
CON's bandish London Boots, and Shingo's band is super Cars.
Who's the best band super Cars?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, so it's setting up already this like weird rivalry
between the two of them.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
And Shingo comes in so big, he's so huge in
this Like he walks and he's like, how Jerald, these
people like this music?

Speaker 2 (18:29):
And do you know, like because he looked different than
he looked he was wearing a different outfit anyways. So
then the producer guy shows up right yeah after after
Shingo's band plays, and you know that they were way
more poppy.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, you know, he's the pop like I'm handsome and
the girl the ladies love me. Yeah, different vibes, that's
his shtick.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah, lots of energy.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
His shirt's just falling off him.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Oh flash dance style.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah. And then he immediately gets off stage and blames
the audience for being quiet. Yeah, which is my favorite
thing to do as a performer to the audience.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
The audience is terrible tonight.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
It's the audience.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Suddenly there are trees in the dressing room that they're
all kind of hanging out around, and I'm like, what
it is going on? And then kN sitting over by
one of the trees.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, hanging out being cool as hell.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
And the producer offers Shingo the card and says, oh,
it's a contract.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
And he's like in this fishy, cool shot, really cool.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Shot of him just handing it over and yeah, and
there he's like, I wouldn't do it for fifty thousand dollars. Well,
the contract's actually for five hundred thousand.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
I don't know if this was the same on your
your wear titles, well your subtitles. Yeah, because the talent
a guy agency guy. He leaves and he's like, what
he says in the text is who'd want want to
work with that gay? Yes? Like that has to be

(20:05):
a typo, right, he didn't say that gay.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, they didn't mean to say that. It probably said
Chris or something like that.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
And I said, guy, I would work with that guy,
is what I thought. But who wants to work with
that gay? Well?

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Sometimes the translations are so weird. May like my favorite
movie that anytime I'm gonna get a chance to like
put forth the movie, it's gonna be house to and
and that the translations is just like, there's no way
that's the real translation.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
So he comes back and he says, Oh, it's actually
five hundred thousand dollars and she goes like, oh, hell yeah,
I'll do that, and he does this like celebratory dance
over to Khan to rubbing in his face. I'm like, famous,
here's a card.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
And then what does Kan do?

Speaker 1 (20:52):
I got one too? Hell yeah, this does not sit
well LISHINGO.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
I'm turning pro unlike you. That's how he says. And
he's like, fuck you, bitch.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
And then they go to the big building that's like
fucking empty, there's no furniture.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
That's one of the things that I love about things
like that, like movies that you can tell don't have
a budget budget at all. You can tell when there's
no background actors. Yeah, but they used it so well
to their advantage. They would like use that and just
use that open space to make it very stylized. And
they did that time and time again.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
They used like a maximum amount of extras in like
three scenes. Right, They're like, that was very expensive, Let's
just find an empty building.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
It just felt like it was a style that they
were going for, Like obviously if you work in it
and you know, oh, this should be happening here and there,
and they just didn't have the money. And yeah, but
I just thought they used that to their benefit and.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
We introduced three amazing characters here.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I love the two security guys.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
They're screaming and they're like, what's going on? And he
says eighteen year old virgin or whatever, like he like
smells what kind of woman she is? Like he's like
a pusshound.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
So they go these two, these two security guards are
like beating the hell out of a young girl and
they're like, hey, well wha whaa. They're like all leather
clad batties and stuff, and they said like, hey, let
the turtle go. She's like turtle, turtle, and then he
cut to this. This is like, I think the first
time we get a what the hell is happening? Well

(22:35):
not really the first time, because we had that fishhead
at the beginning, but then we cut to her like
with a turtle shell on her back, and they're like
cut out freeze framed with a ocean behind them, and
she's like turtle and then she is a turtle, and
then it cuts back to them.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Back to regular life.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
You're like what and then immediately she's like no, my
name's Marimo, So Shingo goes ooh, and then it goes
to come yeah, and then it goes, I'm con and
then he's I'm caught.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yeah, Shingo wore a tux to the meeting.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, Shino were a tucks.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
And CON's dressed like a Madonna rock star punk guy.
It's awesome.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
I love Conn's wardrobe throughout the film. Yes, the best.
He's so hot.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
They ward off the security guards by pretending to be
the producers, which is like, if they work there, wouldn't
they fucking know?

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, we're producers, she.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Said, Conna is so hot. I'm the producers because I
have the card, so I'm obviously the producer. So they're like, oh, sorry, why.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Would I Why would anyone other than a producer have
this card?

Speaker 2 (23:40):
The card?

Speaker 1 (23:41):
It doesn't make sense.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
So they leave them alone, and we get to hear
Marimo saying and for whatever reason, she's fucking horrible.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
She well, she just like grabs this microphone out of
her purse and just and there's feedback going crazy, and
like Shingo, he falls down, grabbing his ear and then.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
He starts like hunching.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
He's like humping the sky, and I'm like, what is
he doing? This said weird choice, But again, it's another thing.
That just keeps.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Out of it into Chippindal's. It was just like a
Chippendale's performance happening behind him. I'm in pain, so I'm
just gonna do That's.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
It's so weird why he didn't get the girl.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
So then she she decides she's going to tagglong with them. Yes,
she wants to be a star, but they're like, look,
we'll include you in some way. They go in, they
present themselves to the president or the talent manager or whatever.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
His office is awesome because it's just a black room
with a bright triangle that like kind of goes around him.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Makes his eyes look like they're glowing.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, his glasses make him look like red eyes. I'm like,
whoa yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Ooh, it's like when you catch a cat in the night.
Oh shit.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
That's another example of like no budget and just like
this is a style, we're going to commit to it.
Yeah that was cool. So he offers them, I need
you guys to be a team. This is not a
one want.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
It's a duo or nothing, and I'll make you a
star within a week.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Hey what about her? Can you hire her? No women? No?
No women? Well she can be a tea girl. No,
not even and then CON's like, okay, well fine, then
I'm out. I don't need this, like I'm drawing a line.
And then he goes, well it's a duo or no deal.
She goes starts begging Khan just selling the contract.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
She steps up. Yeah, I've been a groupie for seven years.
I'll be the president of your fan club. I'll be
with you guys. But I love this. She goes like,
here's my demo. I wrote this song, and he's like,
fuck you and Zach lazers it.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
You are now reborn brothers, separated at birth, your talents
handed down through the blood of your father. Oh, that'll
come back in later. And then we get a song. Yeah,
there are so many lines in these songs that just
pop out. You're like, what the hell is that song
even about? He goes like, all I want is a

(26:10):
car and a guitar. Also love Yeah, well, nine songs,
various songs.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
It's like me when I see eleven eleven, I'm like, oh,
I gotta make a wish. I wish for this, and
then I start layering it to make it more specific.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
This is like a fun song, and there's like Marionette puppets,
barking like a dog. One of them's barking in the
jumping through hula hoops yep.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
And this is where they get their day man.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
They're always sunny day man suits and the vinyls are
getting made and they're doing the photo.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Shoots and basically the song is talking about like how
to get famous, and like this is the way you
write a song in order to get famous.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, And I was like, we love this song. Why
so dumb? They're opening briefcase so with up money and
han out money.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Why this is so weird?

Speaker 6 (27:05):
Like they've been a band for a week and it's like, oh,
here's a seven million dollars, You've done all the work.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
What They fall backwards into this twin size, tiny little bed,
just exhausted.

Speaker 6 (27:16):
They're like, I think famous is so hard. And they
got their fan mail.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
And they said hundreds, hundreds, like you got made that
much money and you have just hundreds of fans.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
And then they like they they get up, get up
off the bed, and they walk to the window and
there's like a really cool shot of it's obviously like
a matte painting that they're just staring out in the
city out this window. It's such a wonderful shot. I
love all these setups. I think they're amazing, and you know,
you know what.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
I love about that window conversation. Shinko starts off really happy, like,
oh my gosh, this is so great, and then he's
like I'm awesome, and then he's like, I'm garbage. I'm
not the real star.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
I suck like I'm pathetic, and I'm just like, what,
what's the meaning.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Of this scene right now?

Speaker 1 (28:13):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (28:15):
And even his shirt said it had the big number
two on it. I'm shit.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Well, I guess I'm number two. I'm shit.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Enter another room or another window. The producer has some
twaint boy serving him a drink, and the thing that
you learned later makes this guy's behavior so weird.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
See. Then we go back to Atomic Promotions. That's the
talent agency.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Merimo has my bangs from the eighties.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
And there is the leather clad security guards are like,
you're not fooling us again. N and Shango are like, ah,
she's with US's blah blah blah, and they're a fine
you were about to like, Oh, she takes a bat
and smashes the guard. The tall guard in the head
and says, shut your damn face with his bat he's

(29:10):
just hitting him. He's like, whoa. And here's why I
love CON's outfit. I think it's so rad. Yeah, because
he's this is on his outfit and here is the
one on the cover. It's this long plink, pink and
black jacket with a white button up and a bolo tie.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's beautiful.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
It's beautiful.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, classy.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
And again they at this point we see them trying
to hype up Marimo. Yeah, you encourage her to like,
go for it. You can be a singer. Believe in yourself,
even though Shingo doesn't.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yeah, all all of a sudden, like people who like
were so confident that they tried to break into a
building and like they believed in himself so much, all
of a sudden.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
When they're around Conn, they're like, oh wait, I'm a
piece of shit. CON's so beautiful and talented. I guess
I'm shit. He has that like effect on people.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
I guess, yeah, I'm not as cool as he is.
And then we bust out into another song and this
is the song that like is about how to make
it in the music business, and there's a line in
it that kills me. It says, somehow this garbage song
became popular.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Oh my god, that's so good.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
So that this we have another, like full music video
a lot of his own stairs for some reason. Tinfoil
stirs tin foil walls.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah, I love this. This is one of my favorites,
this song.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah, when he starts playing the piano by banging his
head on it, I'm like, that is some fucking talent
right there.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
How does do that?

Speaker 2 (30:34):
It's amazing?

Speaker 1 (30:35):
What is he like, Chico Marks?

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, he's amazing.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, and then it like Roy fans out there.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
And then I I also love the stupid striped outfits
they were. Oh yeah, when the fans chased into the street,
they have like striped shirt with a striped blazer.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
But they it's kind of like Beatles esque, Like it's
like kind of totally like they're the Beetles.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Now, totally Beatlesque type moment there when the president watches
on TV, turns it.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Off, turns it off.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
I made a mistar, Yeah I did it. Then we
cut to Marimo waking up and looking at her robot
beard bird.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah, it's like a robot bird. This scene was like
one of the longest scenes in the movie. It took
so long for this bitch to get out of bed
and get out.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Of bet, get out of bed.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
You know, and look, she looked beautiful, so I understand
they probably wanted to milk it, but I was just
like she did.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
How long are we going to watch her?

Speaker 1 (31:44):
You wanted a milker, Jenny, watch it.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Like you saw it. She was a virgin, Papa love
virgins love. Get the camera rolling on her while she's
getting out of bed.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Get that soft light.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
She's very sad.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Now though she's very sad for some reason.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
There's it's like a heaviness to Marimo, very sad.

Speaker 6 (32:02):
And then we start seeing the guys are just like
gambling and doing drugs and kind of wasting all their money.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah, Shingo, especially Con is like the ladies man, and
Shingo's getting boozy and druggy.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah, very uh And I love she put this note
into it because I loved it because cocaine bathboat, like
just in his bath doing coke with liquor bottles everywhere. Yeah,
he's really hit rock bottom. And this song is that
credit card maxed out song.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
That's exactly what I have written I just wrote maxing
out your credit cards.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Yeah, okay, very relatable what I love.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Like with Shingo, he starts complaining to his his.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Uh groupie lady that has no lines.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
A white woman who obviously does not speak Japanese. So
she just sits there and goes, uh huh, which is
what you do when you don't understand.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Let me just roll this joint for you. Yeah, he's
and she wrote has zero lines, but he's going to
write a song for her. Oh yeah, well, and he
reveals to her his heart's on the wrong side and
he has a rare condition.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yes, very important. And then we go into another song
with we kind of learned that. She goes, well, no, before.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
We go, she turns into a fucking monster.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
She turns into a monster, and then we'll go into the.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Song all these mummies coming out.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
He goes to like kiss her, and then she's like
a bring with lips.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Yeah, and it's like super fucking disturbing, and all of
her friends show up and they're trying to kill him.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Mummies and crazy monsters everywhere.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
She wrote monster mash, I.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Mean, which is it's just like this music video filled
with monsters and this song goes on for a while
for sure.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
And in the song his dad ah, his producer almost
ruined the ending. His producer opens a bed like come
in this bed with me, and that makes the ending
very disturbing.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
There's a line in here that cracks me up. In
this song, there's I see random lines. I'm like, I
have to point this out because the lyric is an
alligator is dancing, or maybe it could be a tiger.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah, you get those two mixed up.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Yeah, And then all of a sudden there's a nurse
with a giant syringe about to jab him.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Con and Marmo come in. Oh, they're the two that
come in with it. It's Conn and Marimo in.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
His with the giant syringe.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Yes, in the fantasy sequence, it was they come in
like he's in this weird fantasy thing. And then he
turns into the chicken thing and lays a golden egg.
And when he lays the golden egg, they crack it
and it's him. And then Con and Marmo were sitting
there and Con puts ketchup on him and eats him.
And then once he eats him, it becomes a cartoon.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
It's insane and y wonderful, it's asked, it's what he's on.
Shino deserves this for the drugs he'd be doing.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
And then the band is the zombies and the ghouls
at the inn. G mentioned it's Karsaala's dream vibes, and
then the zombies all in take him, and then his
head rolls down the hallway.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
So she's referring to Akira Kuiztawa his film dreams.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
I'm I'm from the South, So can you imagine me
trying to say Japanese words.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
I don't have to imagine. You're doing it right in front.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
And doing it. So then we're back at the hotel room.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Shino is sleeping in this messy hotel room, and then
we cut to the concert hall.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Con is waiting for Shingo backstage. They're worried he's not
going on without him.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Shingo isn't answering the phone. CON's like, all right, fine,
I'll be fine on my own. But then something happens.
These the producer and these suits come and they go
in a secret room to talk.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
They do. He follows and he says, Mirmo, you have
to go on for me. You have to stall for time,
and She's like, I can't sing.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Turns out she can and she crushes it crush, and
everybody in the band just like realizes, like, oh, we
know her original song that she sings. And then suddenly
the whole band plays her song she sings, which I
thought was really interesting. But of all the things in

(36:27):
this movie that happened, I was like, they would know
her song.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
We do have another song before she gets to that song,
where the talent agency guys they go and get Shingo
at his place and like wake him up, and he's
got like an eighties.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
Sku Oh yeah, getting him back together. Yeah, and they're
like trying to Green Lips Red Milk.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Yeah, So that the full line is get some milk
from the fridge. It looked like tomato juice. Oh no,
this is just like yesterday, Green Lips, Red Milk. Oh.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
And we forgot to mention when the producer guys were talking,
they said, oh, we want to put forth this important
man's son.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
His son wants to be a singer. So they foreshadowed
there's a new singer coming in that's kind of going
to replace them because their personal life behaviors.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Are destructive, going to bring their demise. Yeah, so we
do learn that they're trying to replace the Stardust Brothers.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Indeed, yes, But so they get Shingo together and they
get him there, but by the time he gets there,
Merimo has already done her song.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Crushed it, everyone loved it, everyone fell in love with her,
and he's Shingo.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Is still high. Yeah, he is still high at this point.
And they get con and s Shingo getting a bit
of an argument.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Yeah, they're getting a fight over like who would does solo?

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Feels like, Yeah, Shingo punches Khan and he goes on
stage by himself. Yeah, and he starts singing a song.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
And this is one that's like Gigi Allen. I was
waiting for him to ship on the stage because it's
so unhinged.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
He almost freezes when he sees his uh lady friend,
his white lady friend, and he's wearing these like a
silky teal polka dot shirt and he's just like, I'm
gonna I'm gonna go for it. I'm gonna strip, but
just gonna do.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
It, just going for it. Why not?

Speaker 1 (38:25):
And the audience, the audience, Oh, they're not on board.
They're not on board at all. No.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
They be like, we didn't want to see that.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
And this ruins them. Yeah, it ruins them because our
very next scene.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
We see the Stardust Brothers image in mud.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
In mud, they're just elbos now, yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Sepia Tones. They're they're smoking, they're sharing the last cigarette.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
But somehow Con always looks angelic.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
He's just pretty, he's just petty.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
He's still an angel. He's a pretty man.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
And then we say, screwing fangirls. They're running towards them.
Are they coming for them?

Speaker 1 (39:02):
No?

Speaker 2 (39:02):
They passed them by.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
They're like no. And we we see.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
Japanese David Bowie aka Caru.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Yes, mister Cole, and we pretty much after this we
get his first song. Yeah, it might be his only song,
and he sings in English. Yeah, and uh, I love it.
I love this song. It has like a Replacements or
Addicts type feel to it. It's called like peace Mark

(39:35):
Piece Mark love Me, Locking the Angel, Yeah, Peece Smart
over lock the Mind, Drew. I loved it.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
He's getting kind of a squeaky squeaky clean kind of image.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Yeah, the same producer is there.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah, and then we have another performance right on the
heels of that one. But the Stardust brothers playing in
the rain. Is it indoor?

Speaker 2 (40:00):
The rings and doors in the ring, yes, and the
audience have umbrellas.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
And someone throws an eel and.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
They're just eating food they Yeah, they throw an eel.
Yeah cool. I've been wondering what to do with this
eel I've been carrying around all day. Kits, I'll throw
it at these guys.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Marmo snuck in and now the bitch is moving up,
moving out like she's doing great.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Then the security guards are now beating up Conn and Shingo.
As of today, you're out your band.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Yeah, but Caru.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Gives them a lesson in kindness. Yeah, yeah, he's nice
to them.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
And so what do they do after they get kicked out? Oh,
they go play harmonica on a stoop. Let's go hang
on a stoop.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
And have very emotional talks about Shingo felt like an
invisible child.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
We're not the star dust, We're just dust.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
But then they come to the realization that that weird
heart condition that he has where his heart's on his
right side.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yes, wait a minute, Kan has it too. Maybe this
isn't just a story, Maybe we really are brothers. Huh.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
And then the door opens and it's Merimo.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
How did she find them?

Speaker 2 (41:15):
And she says, you're shitty harmonica playing sounded so terrible.
I found you.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
I heard a crap harmonica, so I knew it was you. Guys.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
I knew it was you, loser.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
We're done, leave us alone. You have the newcomer of
the year.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
And she's like, we're gonna all three be on stage together.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
Con says, no, he wants to start over at small
clubs and write his own songs.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Sh Inga wants to do the same thing.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Yeah, and carw Caru is watched a gentleman.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
I'm trying to be serious in this serious moment. Let
me be serious.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Okay, gosh, that's so serious. Okay, So Caru watches car. Yeah,
it's done. Just you keep milking it, your red milk.
Stop red milking milk. So Cabru is just he just
happens to watch this stoop and see this moment.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Well from a security camera. Yeah, he's got like internet
or not, he's got satellite connections to this stoop.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Yeah. But then we see, uh, Marimo is a big star.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
We don't want any scandals, yeah, because he wants Marimo.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Who doesn't want Marimo.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Yeah, he's like, we're gonna be together.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
We're gonna be the next big love couple, like everybody's
gonna go nuts for us.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
And then he's drinking alcohol.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Yeah, generic alcohol from.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
A bottle and just has a fucking seizure.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Yes, he's falls in. What I love about this is
he falls and has this crazy like if anyone else
is in the room, you're paid, I.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Call nine one one.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
You're like, oh, well, what do I do? How do
I help this person? His assistant stares so coldly, he's
just watching him have this like crazy seizuret no emotion
on him. He just stands there and.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
I almost thought it looked like he was kind of
enjoying it, like okay, cool and there a mess now.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
And then he like gets up and the his assistant
or whatever he is, he's like, oh, you should stop drinking.
Anything about stopping and drinking. It messes with you.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
It's doing something weird to you.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
So they set that up the Atomic Yeah producer guys,
they set set up this doubled or not double date.
They set up a date between these two stars.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
Yeah, she walks in. It's just at a hotel and
she walks in.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
He's just laying on a bed, and then you're not
even going to try to romance her at all.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
She's rising star.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
To this, Hey do you want to h get unkie?

Speaker 2 (44:01):
And she's like, what are you doing in here? That's
that's what you always want to hear when you're trying
to be like, I'm here to suce you.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
What are you doing here? What are you doing here?

Speaker 2 (44:11):
This is weird?

Speaker 1 (44:13):
Oh oh, I feel uncomfortable. That's my that's my favorite one.
When you're trying to seduce for someone and they go,
I'm uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Oh I did I did that?

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Crap?

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Crap?

Speaker 1 (44:27):
What do I do wrong?

Speaker 2 (44:28):
So he drinks again.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
Well, before we do that, we learned that she go
and Cohn are trying to find her, and they bust
into Atomics and they beat up the security guys. They
threatened them. Yes, there's this like where they they beat
it like they're beat up the big one and then
they're like intimidating the little one and he he like

(44:51):
is cowering, and he like crawls away and then he
slaps the wall and he places an alarm on the
wall and then hits it. So there's nothing on the wall.
He puts an alarm there, presses it and then he
could sell.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
So stupid.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
And all these people start slip sliding around like the
bumbling security guard crew.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
Yeah, very Blues Brothers where they go chasing.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Yeah, he is slipping around, go chasing around. And then
but before that they learned that, ye, before the security
guard does that, they learn that she's at a hotel,
hotel car and so they're off and going. They're dead weasel.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
And then that brings us to carry drinks and has
another weird seizure.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
But he does have that, Caesar. But when we cut
to it, it's like feet shaking, hands grasping a bed,
shaking bed, like the alcohol's.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
Like looks like it's not her virginity, No.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
But it's not, it's he. It's him having a seizure. Yeah,
And so she tries to run.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
Away, and this is the Benny Hill Vampire chasing to
the hall scene.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
It's so good.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
It's so many Hill Dracula, it really is.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
And she falls down the stairs. It just gets really wild.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
I love that she trips because this is very important, Jenny,
This is super important that we learned this in this
moment here. Okay, So she trips and she starts tumbling downstairs,
and what happens to her? She turns into a giant ball.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Yeah, like Indiana Jones style, like Indiana.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
Joe's or like she's a she's a crite from critters, Like,
she just rolls herself into a ball, a giant ball
that's like three times her actual size.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
Which I was like, I've seen this recently, snowballing.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Wait a minute, didn't we just watch.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
This this this is a theme for this decade exactly.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
So she runs away and heads out of the hotel
and who's there?

Speaker 2 (47:05):
Conn and Shingo. They get her in the clown car.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Get her in the clown car, and they're off. But
this chase does not end here, no it It kind
of came us there. So it's a double is it
car chase? We're in a car chase? So done play
and everything.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Shooting switch Blade, Benny Hill, but with cool music. This
is the best soundtrack of all the movies.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
It really is. This soundtrack Rip Kills. Yeah, it's a
great soundtrack. And then we learned that the that these guys,
if they have like overdrive, they in their car, they
can press a button and the car goes. It's just
flying and they pass a lady hitchhiker. And I love

(47:51):
this moment because if you're paying attention closely enough, you
can see this lady hitchhiker. She's got three attached to
her dress. You can see the strings going off camera
as they pass by, and they're yanked and she's she's
only in her undies at that point because the wind

(48:11):
blew a bit off. It's like we saw the rope
we shot. We saw three streams.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Yeah, we saw what happened there. They really were proud
of that prank.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
We we're proud of it.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
And then they crash into this family having dinner on
the floor's house.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
And what does Shingo do. He eats their food, because
that's what he does. Whenever food is around, he just
starts eating it.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
He's a fucking pig.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
This is where then Shingo and Con getting bridle outfits.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
Yes, well, the song that they're playing in this moment
is called please Invent a Time Machine for Me. Yeah,
Shingo and Mirimo are in bridle gowns hiding as a display,
and Con is in a tuxedo. Of course, they're spotted
at some point from now on, they're running around in
wedding attire.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Oh, Marimo and Shingo are the ones that both of them,
So they both are trying to marry Kahan.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
I didn't look at it that way, but now that
you bring it up, it's obvious.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Everybody loves Khan.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
Everybody loves them. He's so pretty.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Yeah. So now the producers and the suits are negotiating
about Caru.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Yes, yes, Well the producer ends up going to Cairo's
father's house. Yeah, right, isn't that here. Yeah, so we're
learning that they're trying to bring this producer guy into
whatever they're doing too.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Something about the governments.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
Yeah, something about the government. We don't really learn at
this exact moment. We continue with the chase and then
go into a wonderful song that's called I don't know
what it's called. It's crazy Game. It crazy cook Cook,
Crazy cook, a crazy game. It's great.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
So this is where Caru becomes full vampire. It's just
like insane looking and all these people are like ready
to kill them in the corner, and then the fans
spot him and come running and there's this wild chase
through the city.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
Yeah, and they end up going into a into their car,
right they switch cars.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Yeah, yeah, they switch into the car. They pile in
the car, and then it's like a time travel or
like a teleportation sequence.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
But Conn and Shingo have like super speed, but the
other guys, Caro, has the teleportation in his car. So
they're run in this car and they press it and
they disappear. All these this crowd is around them. They
all disappear, and we're back in the office. Back in

(50:58):
the office for the where you.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
Think it's been the weirdest part of the movie, wildest
weirdest part.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
So they reveal that they want to bring this producer
in to start promoting this political person. And who does
this political person turn out to be none.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Other melty Face Hitler.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
The melty face mutated Hitler because why wouldn't it be?

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (51:29):
And so and then all of a sudden, Khn, Merimo
and Shingo start crawling out from under the desk.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
Because that's where they teleport too, under Daddy, under this
guy's desk, under Hitler's desk.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Caru pulls out and he's like Daddy, It's like, fucking
melty face Hitler is KRU's dad. That is why he's
like an evil vampire guy.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
G did right. It's like a Cindy Lapper music video
with them crawling out, and it totally is yeah, I
like totally Cyndyla music video. Yes, And then like like
random chickens start popping up every every hang.

Speaker 6 (52:10):
Man big man, and then everybody says getting pies in
the face.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
And Colin like kisses. Marimau. Cairo is not happy, so
he shoots. He shoots at Shingo.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
But who does he hit? Who saves him?

Speaker 1 (52:29):
The president? The president of the president production blocks the
bullet and he falls.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
Bleeding, and immediately the handcuffs were ready. He's just like, okay,
you're arrested.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
She's like, oh, hey, buddy, hey buddy, we don't shoot
people around here.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
We don't. We don't we don't kill people.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
Hey, hey, we don't kill people.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
I'm the handcuff guy. I just wait for somebody to
need these.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
What's your role handcuff guy? Yeah, you know, not a
police officer.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
No no, no, no no no.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
The handcuff cut I just have these.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Why shame on you, Hey, buddy, you're in time out.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
I don't have any authority to do this. But I've
got these.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Though you're a Hitler's son. I'm sure it's fine to.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
Do the fine, your melty face Hitler's son. The president
of Atomic Productions, falls over everybody and he gets shot.
Where does he get shot, Jenny and his stomach? No,
he gets shot in the Yes, his stomach. But for
some reason, they were.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Pretending it was his right heart, but it was his stomach.
So he goes into the bit about, oh, I survive
because my heart's act actually here.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
You know what I meaning. I think that they like,
I think that they put the blood on there while
he was standing up and then he laid down, and
that just all the blood shifted down. That's anything happened
where it's like its shifted to make it look like
he got shut in the belly.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
You got one, you got one. Take This is our
only white this is our only white suit. Okay, just
go ahead and put it on.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
Ah shut in the belly, nobody'll notice.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
Just just say the heart, good enough, he's got You're
trying to shoot me in the heart, but my heart's
over here.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
And so what does this guy do? He gets up
and he starts he starts singing a song as you
do when you're shot in your heart that's on the
right side of your body. Lights change and he walks off,
and he moves his glasses. He starts ascending these stairs

(54:50):
and he's just really giving us a good old I
don't even know who is a Sinatra ish shut not quite,
it's just and there's like these ladies and ballet outfits there,
and he reveals these are my sons.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
These I was a one night mistake.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
I was the biggest pop star in all of.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
The world, and that was what was important to me.
I'm like, oh, you're pregnant. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
I'm a star.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
Okay, I'm doing this other thing right now.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
So he feels bad, and that's why the start as
brothers were brought together and finally putting the piece back
together when they said, you got your talent through the
blood of.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Your father, the seat of your father. Yeah, he's just
the biggest narcissist.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
In the world.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
Oh you I gave you talent, But actually I'm the best.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
So he's a syne at this point when the lights change,
when he gets shot, I think he's dead. What do
you think? I think he's dead. This soul song is him.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
Having a favor dream.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
Yeah, that's his ascension into heaven because he was a
good guy, because he's a.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
You were laying in that bed in that earlier scene
and biting your son in But no, it's that.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
There's a line in the song that he's great. That
is undoubtedly I am the true star.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
Yeah, me, it's really all about me.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
Well, his sons are sitting there like, oh, we were
kind of processing a lart right now. Why did you
really need to do that. You didn't need to cut
us down like that and then just die.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
So at the end of his song, he's fully up
the stairs and he falls down dead, and then we
have like a smash cut to Shingo falling down on
stage back in his original suit.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
A man always sunny outfit.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
The silver outfit. He falls on stage, looks up at
the audience, still in black and white.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
They asked him, interesting, wasn't it interesting?

Speaker 1 (56:56):
You like that there's no reaction.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
Nope, And then I was confused about if someone shot
them or if they were robots.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
That malfunction starts like groping Cohn in this seed.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Yeah, that's all I'm done.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
He starts like shaking his button, like holding him I'm like, whoa,
what just happened?

Speaker 2 (57:18):
We're brothers. This is just family stuff.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
He doesn't concern you.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
Con first explodes and yes, malfunctions and falls.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
There's sparks going everywhere.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
And then there's like a little pool of blood beside
him and he's like oh wait wait and then he
sits up, and then Shingo goes same thing.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
Sam shot. So they got double shot. We don't know
why who shoots them? Weird that is not given to us.
I have a feeling it was Caro come back.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
Oh, because right before that they said, oh he's got
he wants revenge on us. Yeah, they did say that
weird ominous line after their performance.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
And then they're both dead.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
And they so then they both have like a similar
they don't have a song, but like con and Marimo
are in the car flying away like their Sandy and
Danny Zuko.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Yeah, like a grease homage for whatever reason.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
And then Shingo like walks off very stilted into the
stars and then turns into a star. Yeah, and then
it cuts back to them dead on the stage. Audience
loves it, standing ovation danding oh yeah, curtains clothes open

(58:44):
up because you'd like the call back, you know, the
opening close it, they're still dead.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
It's like, oh, it's not a performance. Still good, that's
still good.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Credits roll, and then we have this weird version of
Crazy Game reprise where the music is so weird. It's like,
it's so weird. Then it turns into Crazy Game. That's
the movie.

Speaker 6 (59:12):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
That's the movie. That's it, you guys, it's it.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
Do you have a movie, MVP?

Speaker 2 (59:20):
Uh? My movie, MVP. I mean it's it's the music
for sure.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
The music. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
I I also truly love what con brought to it.
I don't think any of this kind of would work
without the element of him.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
Yeah, and his name actually is Khan. Shingos and Khan
are the guy's real their real names. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
Who's your movie, MVP?

Speaker 1 (59:48):
Oh? It is Makoto Tazuka the director. Uh. It is
actually so inspired, it is insane. It's just an inventive
music video after another. It's just back to back at
it's fever dream. I just found it very inspired, and

(01:00:10):
Makoto Tazuka, good work.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
Good job, Betty. And you know what that brings us
to does.

Speaker 4 (01:00:16):
It bring us to.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
That brings us to remake reboot, reimagine, remaster, prequel or sequel, remaster.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Don't dare touch it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Don't you dare touch this? Don't you touch The only
thing I could possibly say is sequel. But it did
get a sequel. Oh, it is in twenty sixteen. Con
Shingo and Makoto t Zoka came back together to do
a sequel in twenty original cast and it's called The

(01:00:53):
Brand New. I think it's the brand New Legend of
the Stardus Brothers. I could not find it. I could
not locate a copy of it. So but for me,
it's absolutely remastered. Even though this is what we watched,
because it it wasn't even released here until twenty twenty one,
we didn't have access to it. So it is kind

(01:01:16):
of a remastered version already. But what it really needs
it needs to be a midnight showing movie. This needs
to be a party showing with a bunch of people
who know the movie, and it needs to be a
party adminis.

Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
I was like this, I need more people to know
about this so it can be our Howlween costumes.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
Yeah, but which one? There's too many to choose from. Yeah,
so yeah, you just had to keep going out of
the room in ten minutes later. Back on just all
of sheing Go's outfits, all of CON's outfits.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
Yeah, exactly, so.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
Good unless you're the president, then you could just beat
that one outfit.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
Yeah, I would kind of like a triangle walking around
behind you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
G said she would be security guard. Yeah, in your
head for that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
One with their weird she said, the last to you
two be the dumbass security guards.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Well, you shave your fucking head.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
She wants to be Benny Hill the Dracula.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
Yes, I'm a ghoul. All right, let's up. I think
it's not for a nostalgia of the.

Speaker 5 (01:02:28):
Week, And this week's guest for Nostalgia of the Week
is former pop princess Pinky Parker.

Speaker 6 (01:02:48):
Hey everyone, as he said, it's me, former pop princess
Pinky Parker. Most of you haven't seen me since my
romand Mall tours of the early nineties. It's great to
be with you again. I'm here to remind you about
an awesome nostalgia from our childhoods Echo Mikes. I remember

(01:03:08):
getting one of these babies from my aunt Sheila for
Christmas of eighty six, and the thing I remember the most,
other than the horror on my mother's face was how
instantly my confidence transformed. I wrote my first songs using it,
which led me to writing my first hit, Cherry Pop, which,

(01:03:29):
fun fact, is based on.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
A true story.

Speaker 6 (01:03:32):
Okay, So I turned fifteen and I got to go
to the skating rink by myself for the first time,
and I met an older boy named Greg.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
Greg had a Camaro and he talked so sophisticated, and
he told me someday I would get to write in
his camaro. But first we had to meet at the
mall and it had to be our little secret.

Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
So I told my mom I was meeting up with
my friends. He took me to get dipping dots and
showed me my first rated arm moved. It was something
I'll never forget and neither will Greg, because in my
late twenties he messaged me on Facebook and he said, Wow,
you've really grown up.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
To be a beautiful woman.

Speaker 6 (01:04:12):
And then a week later he changed his profile picture
to one with him and his wife and kids, and
his Facebook name was then Greg and Sheila Simpson. Oh, anyways,
I'm all on a tangent now.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
The main story is.

Speaker 7 (01:04:27):
Get you one of these and holding it like this
and opening up really prepared me for what life had
in store for me. Back to you in the studio.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
Thank you for that specialness.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
That was special. That was special. Thank you never come back.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
Well, this was fun.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
It was fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And I want
that soundtrack on vinyl. Yeah, that'd be great, It would
be great.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
Well, you and your facial hair hang in there time. Yeah,
I love it.

Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
Yeah. Great.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
And I don't know if I'm growing it out or
if I just give up.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Right, you know, either one of those things is great.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
Both can be true.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
Jenny, giving up is super underrated.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
That's what my parents keep telling me. It's been fun, everybody.
We'll see you next time.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
See you next time. I'm Jenny Wanger.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
And I'm Jeremy Briggs.

Speaker 4 (01:06:10):
Instant musical.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
H it's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
Do you have to pause one second? Let me pause
one second.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
Yeah, you gotta finish jerking off
