(00:24):
we are back a welcome to WakeUp Heavy, the world's greatest hard movie
podcast. Won't you welcome you on? Sad My dear dad and I will
be talking about right Hello, andwelcome back to Wake Up Heavy. It's

(01:12):
been a while, and it's beena while since my very special guest has
been on over a half a yearnow on the back to School episode,
So welcome to my special guest,Hi, Cleo Leo. And we're actually
going to have some of the samestuff from back then. I just kind

(01:34):
of spot listened through that episode andI was like, oh, we talked
about this back then, and nowwe finally watched it, the return of
the Dongle, and we found thedongle the right dongle this time. So
I'm going to just use all thesame clips from that episode, including the
dongle clip. So let's say sincethat right now, dongle feels good to

(01:57):
me. Dongle is fun. Isn'tit. Dongle sounds like a good time.
Yeah, I'm a big fan ofdongle. What does a dongle do?
Exactly? Well, first and foremost, the dongle goes in a port,
right, so people could kind ofinsert. Yes, it's been a
while since I've put anything out Novemberof twenty twenty three, to be exact,
And the last time Clevel and Irecorded was in August of last year

(02:21):
before she went back to school.Talked about a whole bunch of my favorite
modern horror movies. On that episode. I had created a list that we
went through, including Green Room,which we talked a lot about, which
we didn't watch again. Yes,we do, so we have. Are

(02:47):
we just sticking with the two orare we doing anything else? Or we
can just stick with the two?Okay? The main attraction you have been
to put a plug in there forpeople. The Chasing Chevy Chase podcast will
be starting soon over on weirdingwaymedia dotcom with Christashu, Mike White, and

(03:08):
I as the host. So wehave been watching most of those here as
a family, including the latest one, which I don't believe will be released
until September. Oh my lord.The Chasing Chevy Chase podcast starts this month
in April, so keep your earson ies peel for that, folks.

(03:28):
And that was Modern Problems. It'spretty awful. Yeah, folks can can
wait until September to listen to usrip that movie apart. It's okay.
Of the Chevy Chase movies that we'vewatched, which ones have you enjoyed?
That would be did you guys watchseems like Old Times with me one with

(03:52):
him and Goldie Hawn where he's likea weird one? Does he think he
did? He's I was out theremistaken he gets caught up in that.
Yeah, bank robbery nonsense? Yeah? Yeah. Did you guys watch Under
the Rainbow with me? About theno Munchicken snow watch Caddy Shack? Yeah,

(04:13):
which is relevant to the discussion today, which I'll get to. People
have heard this story, but I'llprobably tell it again. I'm talking off
microphone here. Sorry, Uh,Caddy Shack? What E'll center the Rainbow?
Modern Modern pro I guess that wasit. That's enough about Chevy Chase.
Wait, no, what was thatthe one with the two dudes and

(04:34):
he was the doctor? Was thatone the two dudes? Oh? Dirty
work? Yeah, we watched that. Yeah, that's a special special episode
of that podcast with Mom and Donald. Pretty funny. That was not the
worst of the ones that we havewatched. You don't want to talk about
Poor Things. I liked Poor Things. I want to talk about together too

(04:56):
movie. Yes, we let oursixteen year old daughter watch Poor Things.
You can send your so for male. You can send your mail to someone
who cares. I love that.That was a really fun movie. I
really loved the costumes in that movieand also a mustone because it's a mustone
and she was good. And hisnext movie with her and Willem Dafoe is

(05:19):
coming out in a few months.Kind of surprised that one is coming so
quick on the heels. This wasn'tmy favorite your Ghosh Lantemosh movie. I
think Killing of a Sacred Deer isstill my favorite of his that I've seen.
But they're all very interesting. I'veonly seen Poor Things, so but
I really liked it. I mean, definitely watch the other ones now.

(05:43):
They're no worse than that. BrowTooth is very brutal and upsetting, but
it's very interesting as well. Okay, so I guess we're sticking to two
and these were watched in this lastweek. It was spring break here for
us. We watched A Camp Lasherand a camp quote unquote other camp classic

(06:09):
in a way. Yeah, yeah, per your request. So what was
that film? Yes, I didsleep Away Camp. You Won't Be Coming
Home? And why did you pickit? You mentioned you had seen I
had seen the stupid baseball scene wherethey all have crop tops and jean shorts

(06:30):
on and they're all really mean toeach other. It's kind of a meme
memable yeah moment in that film.There's quite a few memorable moments in that
film. White, did you knowanything about the twist ending? I had
seen her face and that's him,Yeah, that's me, that's as well.

(06:56):
Yeah, I've only ever seen inthe face, so I knew that.
But did you know that I hadto do with younger identity? I
don't think so. So spoilers aheadfor a sleep Away Camp if you haven't
seen it all, But it hasone of the most shocking and surprising endings.
I think it's one of the savinggraces of the film, because otherwise

(07:16):
it's not very good. I don'tknow if you agree about that. Well,
it's so, Yeah, it isdefinitely an odd one. The I've
talked about it briefly on my showbefore when I did a slasher series.
I don't think I spotlighted this movie, but I know I talked about it
a little bit because of its oddnature and how it's very mean spirited throughout,

(07:41):
Like everybody's awful. There's a pedophilethat gets scalded to death. Yeah,
a pot that's taller than him,practically the tallest plot in film history.
Full of hot boiling water, wellnot yet, corn almost yeah,
corn. And the weird thing goingon between the young oh my god,

(08:03):
the counselor and the head of thecamp. I've never understood that. And
what was his name, mel Yeah, Megan mel Hey, that's kind of
perfect. He eats the crap outof Yeah, his cousin and oh,
it's just a weird eat Ricky.He beats the crap out of it.
It's almost to death. Crazy.Actual kids are killed in this one.

(08:26):
It's not just the teens, andthey're not even really teens. They're like
thirteen. They're pretty he's pretty young, I guess, well, some of
like mean older, but Angela ispretty young. There's a lot of the
boys though, like during that baseballthe infamous baseball game are older. There's
I guess they're counselors, though maybeI don't know. I think they're.

(08:48):
Well, that one dude we're inthe speedo shorts is a counselor. Yeah,
the big guy, the muscular guy, the only appears in the movie
sympathetic character in the whole movie sympatheticcharacter. I should say, yeah,
because she's likes pretty much everybody's aturd in that describe. Yeah, but
that ending is if you don't knowanything about it and you catch that for

(09:11):
the first time, it's quite shocking, this gender swap thing that her aunt
has forced her into or him into. Yeah. Also the aunt, Yeah,
the crazy aunt, and she's partof the camp. Can't be aspect
of the the progressiveness of the openingwith the having two dads I mean,

(09:31):
yeah, three, and then theyimmediately kill one of them. Yeah,
I think I miss what happens tothe other dad, but he goes crazy
or something. Oh, I don'tremember. I don't know. I think,
oh, maybe because she doesn't endup with him. But also I
don't think they were like legal guardians, so of course she wouldn't end up
with it. True because it's thelady, and we don't find out until

(09:54):
the end that the little girl inthe family was was the kid that was
killed in this quoting accident, andthat crazy aunt forces in Peter Yeah to
be uh Angela. She always wantedto. And there is an infamous reveal
of a fully naked man, inthis case Angela mask that riggered scream.

(10:20):
I'm not sure why they chose thatas the thing to make. It's a
pretty convincing mask though, mask isa really good mask at the end there,
and it's it's it's pretty er.Yeah, I do want to say,
look at like remembering there's the moviethe aunt at the beginning talks about
like, don't tell anyone where yougot your physicals. Don't tell anyonehere you

(10:43):
got physicals. Of course she's notgoing to have these at least Angela go
to an actual doctor, right becauseit's not Angela. But I just like
remember that that she did the physicalsherself for the two kids for king.
Oh yeah, I missed that part. So suspicious already again looking back on
it, like when she's what's hisname, Paul, the kid that she

(11:07):
likes, Angela likes, yeah,sort of nice, sort of nice.
He's a little funky. He doesn'ttreat her all that well either. No,
when he's on top of her kissingher, she has that flashback to
her two dads kissing, which isalso a hint, I guess, mm
hmm true. But that was alsoan interesting because just watching that, you're
like, why the hell did theyput a flashback like that? The that's

(11:28):
so weir and her and her brotheris sitting on the bed and the brother
is pointing at her and yeah,which I think out of context of knowing
the end of the film wouldn't reallymaybe make just yet. Yeah, this
is why she's so I'm not goingto call her strange. She's just really

(11:50):
reserved and shy. Yes. Yeah. Also like, isn't it traumatized?
Yeah? Isn't the camp literally whereor like a similar lake where her family
die? Yeah? I was tryingto piece the same place. Well,
because at the beginning they show thecamp, I feel like they're showing the
camp almost after the fact of whathas happened. Okay with her, And

(12:13):
then because this is for sale oncamp airwack, right, and there's a
sheriff sign on the gate, andyeah, okay, that feels to me,
like after afterwards, and then weflash forward to them on the lake.
Is it the same lake? I'mnot sure if it's. If that's
what we're supposed to get from that, I was a little confused. It's
very possible either way. It's stilla lake and that's where she's going.

(12:35):
I was gonna say. Also,the kills in this movie, like you're
talking about the giant hot hot thekills were fun. The snake coming out
of that kid's mouth, Oh yeah, that was a pretty good I was
also a convincing dummy head, tobe honest. Yeah, that little and
then it just slithers out a littletiny garter snake comes out of his mouth.

(12:56):
Narally. The bees, although Idon't, didn't look like a bee's
nest to me, just to beyou know, amal about stuff, more
like a wasps nest. But anyway, because once the buzzing started, I
was like, oh, they putbees in that stall or whatever. But
when it just looking at it,You're like, so, what was that
supposed to be. It's a littleclunky, But then the reveal of again

(13:18):
of the body is pretty well done, gruesome makeup, and like one of
the bees actually crawls out of ahole in his arm. Oh, I
don't think I noticed that. That'sdisgusting. If they used caro syrup and
food coloring, like most low budgethorror movies, it would make sense that
bees would be swarming and digging intoit. So, yeah, of cours.

(13:43):
The meg kill also, which Iwant to talk about, because she
gets killed on the side of theshower, right, she should have fallen
to the other side of the shower, but when mel comes in there,
she falls facing forward, sure likethis, So she twisted a little bit
when she died, but that stabbedthrough the back of the showers pretty gnarly.

(14:03):
Yeah, who else dies, Judy? That one was weird. Okay,
that's when your mom got home.Yeah, and she was like us,
curling her hair in the dark inthe cabin, which also makes a
lot of sense. You know it'sto set up to kill. Yeah,
the hot curling iron kill. Wewon't discuss where it was. Yeah,

(14:28):
and then well Paul in his head. Yeah, disturbing, it's disturbing.
It was a fun little movie,though, a fun little watch because of
how weird it was. Like,have we watched many more of the I
know we've watched the first four Fridaythe Thirteenth films, But have we watched
any other camp slasher films other thanFear Street. Yeah, second Fear Street

(14:52):
movie. I know they should bringthat genre back because it's funny camp horror
movie. Sure, there's a fewrecent modern ones that are out there that
probably aren't very good. Yeah,I should look back on my list,
Like The Burning is kind of interesting. Shoot, I need I need to
look at my list again to seehere's a couple fun ones out there.

(15:16):
But I don't know if we've watchedlike we watched the Friday the Thirteenth movies.
I don't know if there's really anyother ones other than this and fierce.
Are you there's a ton out there, a ton of Friday the Thirteenth
ripoffs? Of course? All right, anything more about Sleepaway Camp said the
awesome credits song at the end.Oh, also, yeah, what they

(15:39):
called the Angelusiti. But I wasjust like, okay, what is it?
Was pretty bad? Geez, thatwas a fun movie. I'd probably
rewatch that. Let's hit the BigCleo finally watched movie here, So yeah,

(16:29):
Dad forced me to watch. Okay, So we talked about this briefly
back on that back to school episodein August. This is a movie that
I have jokingly suggested anytime your momare like, let's watch something funny,
and I'm like, wow, wellwe could watch you know, the Blues
Brothers is on DVR. You wouldalways kind of poo poo it, Yes,

(16:56):
you would. We never watched it. I seriously and unseriously suggested it
numerous times over the last couple ofyears. Numerous Oh what back in August
when I was taking you to Auntie'shouse during the summer. One of those
days, Rubber Biscuit came on,of course, and you were tickled by

(17:22):
that song. Heck yeah, Andthat was the first indication that you gave
that you might be interested in watchingthe movie. But I had to say,
sorry, it's not in the movie, and then I got sad.
Yeah, So it took another sevenmonths before we finally watched it. I
talked about it a couple of weeksago or something, and then at the
beginning of your spring break, Imentioned, well, maybe maybe now,

(17:44):
maybe we'll watch it this week.Yeah, and we did. We watched
it the day before my birthday.So that was a little early birthday gift
there. You go I'm so smart. So, even without Rubber Biscuit being
a part of the soundtrack, whatdid you think of the Blues Brother,
I'm very silly and funny. Iliked it. I like the gags in
it. And Carry Fisher Carrie Fisher. Yeah, of course, it's one

(18:11):
of those. I hate to sayit because I know that there are plenty
of women out there that enjoy thefilm, but it's kind of a dude
movie. And I say that becauseit was written by juvenile mend and has
maybe two three female characters in it, none of which interact. It does

(18:32):
not pass the Bechdel test because noneof these women interact with each other or
have a conversation outside of the interestof the male leads. Carry Fisher is
basically a cipher until the end ofthe movie. Twiggies in it for as
a cameo and Aretha Franklin and itjust gets to sing a song and that's
it for female characters. Oh yeah, and the penguin sister Mary Stigma I

(19:00):
think is her name. She wasa fun little bit there where she the
door opens and clothes it headens andhurts me that the two young men whom
I raised to believe in the TenCommandments have returned to me is two thieves
with filthy mouths and bad attitudes.Yeah, it gives that first indication that,

(19:27):
yeah, we're in the real world, but are we really? Unrealistic?
Things happen and throughout this movie,and I like how they're just sprinkled
throughout, mostly in regard to them. Yeah, but there's cartoon violence sprinkled
throughout. It's ridiculous, but itworks for some reason. And maybe it's

(19:49):
just me having grown up with themovie. It doesn't seem out of place.
The opening with her or the firstscene outside of the prison when he
gets out, that long stended creditsequence, which I love as well.
And they go and visit her atthe orphanage that they grew up in,
and she's floating back and forth fromthe door. The doors open and close

(20:11):
on their own, so she haspowers because she's a nun. She also
beats them them mercilessly because they're swearing. That was silly. Also the scary
Jesus she's a fix right outside herdoor and the one inside her room.
Yep, great setup for the restof the film. Yeah, it's a

(20:32):
good little intro because then yeah,like you said it's just a real world,
but also, ah, there's alot going on that's not necessarily real.
Well. Also, like when wewere first introduced to Carrie Fisher,
doesn't she pull like a rock puncherout? Oh that's a little later,
but her first weapon, she justlike pulls it out of the back of
her car and immediately gets ready,So like it's just kind of random stuff

(20:53):
like that could realistically happen. Butalso just her being so casual about it
is funny. Them just walking awayunscathed, brushing off the dust. That's
the Yeah, first time she's there, and then shortly thereafter is that really
great? The building scene where shedestroys the building, which get it totally

(21:14):
up until a couple of years agofinding out how they did that, I
was like, did they actually destroylike a condemned building. It's surrounded by
all this other stuff, so it'sa really interesting It's part miniature, part
Matt painting, parting. Yeah,all this stuff. So if you look
at it really hard or pause throughit, if you have it on blu

(21:34):
ray or something, you can kindof see the edges of things. But
it's done so convincingly. And thenthe edit to the building collapse. I
mean, the building collapsing itself isimpressive. Yeah, and that's actual people
falling through holes in the floor whenhe falls down through it. What it

(21:56):
explodes so funny, it's really convincing. You know. One of the reasons
it cost so much money back thenin nineteen eighty one of the most expensive
films. Yeah, back then,twenty seven million is nothing these days,
but oh yeah, to pick upa lot for a non adventure film or
big sci fi epic or something likethat. Yeah, because when we finally

(22:18):
got to that the police car chaseat the head, I was like,
so, how expensive was this movie? Because they're just a crush of these
cars. Yeah, they're just crushingthese cars. The rumor is that about
half of the budget was spent oncocaine. So oh yeah, I remember
reading about that way back. That'swhen the movie first came out. It

(22:41):
checks out. The songs were reallyfun. Yeah, I was going to
ask you about the music. Whatdid you think of the music? I
liked it. The Oh which onewas it? Oh, the one where
they're all inside the pawn shop orwhatever it was doing music, but outside
there's a giant flash mob, whichwas funny because I said that word because

(23:02):
that was an answer on Jeopardy thesame night. Yeah, I was like,
there's a flash mob outside, andthen it was what is this is
it? And the answer was flushedmob. But that song was fun and
that goes a little bit to theunrealistic elements of the film, where it's
very possible that they would sit inthere and jam away, but that everybody

(23:26):
else in the neighborhood would perform aperfect choreographed dance. That's you know,
that's the musical aspect. Yeah,definitely, all the music makes sense in
context of the film, but yeah, some of the stuff that happens around
it is of that. You know, people break out in song and musicals
and perform dances and musical numbers,and this is one of the few times

(23:48):
that that happens in the film.This and the Aretha Franklin scene, yeah,
with the three girls her backup singer. Also, I'm going back and
forth, but the scene where they'rein the restaurant and he's like sell me
your children or whatever he says,that's so awful. Like at that Ben

(24:08):
Mankowitz at the opening, he sayssomething like the plot such as it is
is them trying to get this moneyto save the orphanage they grew up in.
And the rest is just kind ofthere. It's there too, fun
scenes, little vignettes throughout, andyeah, some movies that do that don't
work very well, but this one, to me works perfectly. They're going

(24:32):
on a little journey, so itstill makes sense. It is a little
bit like an odyssey. Yeah,definitely, all those vignettes, except maybe
for the when they get the majorityof the band at the holiday inn isn't
really There's no gags or anything reallyall that funny there, except for the
song that they're singing. Oh wait, was I have the holiday? And

(24:56):
when they get blown up in thephone is that at the holiday or is
that somewhere else? Because they shootup in the air then sat when they
go back to the it's not thenwhen they find those maybe it is.
Gosh, now I'm confused. Isure with the flamethrower, yeah, and
the yeah next to the phone boothjust skyrockets into the air comes crashing.

(25:22):
No, yeah, because that's whenthey go back because they're trying to get
gas, I'm pretty sure, andthey're like, yeah, we're gonna be
late or whatever, and then theyget blown up. No, but I
love that because they're like back inthe restaurant, they're like, we want
to move from these people. Andthen he like scoots a chair it over
and he's like, sell me yourkids. I don't even know what he
says. It's just so omful.He says, how much for the women?

(25:42):
Tell me your children? How muchfor the little girl? The women?
How much for the women? Whatyou're women? I want to buy
your women, the little girl,your daughters, sell them to me,
Sell me your children with pee.We heard R. Paul Rubens as a
one of the Yeah waiters and he'slike twelve. See in the book,

(26:07):
which I'm trying to find a decentlypriced copy of because I would like to
reread it again, they have tofind each member of the band. They're
all spread out. They're not allat the Holiday Inn or you know,
there's like three fourths of them areat the Holiday Inn in the movie,
not in the book. I thinkonly Murph is there at the Holiday Inn
and they have to go. Soit's much more extended bits throughout. And

(26:32):
that's one of the things about danAykroyd. He writes these really long,
involved scripts that have to be trimmeddown Samoth, Ghostbusters, Samoth, a
bunch of other reviews of his,but the novelization basically takes that full,
like three hundred page script and justtranscribes it. And I remember, because

(26:52):
I read the book before I sawthe movie, uh huh, I remember
being disappointed that we didn't get allof the quests to get band member,
because they're fun. Like the restaurantscene is fun. The rest seem's fun,
tossing shrimp into his mouth or eachother ows, the interaction with that
family, the Snooty Family, SnootyBee. Yeah, I've always liked stories

(27:15):
like that where it's just like ona bunch of trips to go in and
do something. It's like the Oldbrother We're Art though some of the other
Coen Brothers movies where they use theOdyssey as the inspiration and always a fun
I loved reading that. You know, it's kind of a road movie type
of situation. Yeah, I meanthey're in the car half the movie.

(27:36):
So another like kind of not definitelynot similar to Blues Brothers, but like
another kind of on the road movieis Little Miss Sunshine. They have little
quests, right, which I lovethat movie. I like movies like that,
so that was it was fun thatit was like that. I do
too. Yeah, they have agoal that they need to reach, and
the getting there is part of thefun. What about the scene at the

(28:03):
church with the Reverend Cleophis, Oh, hell yeah, where I found that
one white lady in the back choir. I was like, there's a white
chick back there. There's a blondelady in the corner. Because I've never

(28:26):
noticed before. She's in the veryback corner, back right hand corner of
the screen. For anyone that wantsto spot her the next time, I'll
watch it, and I nicknamed herSusie. That scene was fun because I
was sort of like, oh,he's so sweaty. It wasn't even doing
that much. Hello, welcome toJames Brown World. Yeah, and then

(28:48):
everyone just started doing flips. I'mlike, you gotta watch this because they're
going to start flying. Yeah,the tripoline stuff. I mean, you
can't see it, but it's atriple trick. No, it's great.
It's I love that. It wasso fun. It starts to raise that
level of oh, we're not justin reality here, but it's great.
I love that. I love thatwhole dance. They're so well choreographed and

(29:11):
well shot and welled. How theyget all that stuff to match so well
is amazing to me. But thatscene especially, and it's not as difficult
in the Ray Charles scene with thepeople outside, but it's the same kind
of idea where they're cutting back andforth between them plane and the people dancing

(29:32):
outside. Even more so are thecar chases. The car chase and that
first one in the mall. Thisis happening, So we go from him
getting out of jail to the orphanage. From the orphanage that they go straight
to the church, and I'm surethere's scenes that were removed or cut out.

(29:53):
I know they are, and thenthe mall chase. They're not even
back home yet. It's literally likea it has so many driving things.
So he's immediately recognized what do theycall it, skamod's yeah, the database.
I bet those cops have got smutssmuts State County Municipal Offender Data system.

(30:18):
And then it's immediately like, oh, we're on the We're on the
move into a mall and taking upthe people in that mall. I mean,
I know they're oh, there's justpeople in there. Yeah, some
people. That initial crash through thetoys r us is pretty that somebody gets
hit a little bit at least.Yeah, there's no way. I believe

(30:40):
it was an empty mall that waslike really going to be destroyed or something,
but they they redressed it to looklike it was a yeah, an
operating mall. And again though,the continuity, and they're driving and be
like, oh Peer one Imports,and then you see a shot of them
driving past Peer one Imports, andit's just amazing. I love the music

(31:00):
in that scene. I love theway it's shot and edited. It's just
great. The continuity. Yeah,like, oh Peer one Imports, we're
next to Peer one Imports now.And they mentioned a Burger place. They
talk about the cars, the newOlds mobiles are in early all this stuff,
good everything, and just total destruction. And it's fun to watch places

(31:22):
get destroyed like that when it's inmovies, like it's a superhero movie and
that destroyed the whole town boom.But what it's let's drive through a mall
totally because those are like realistic andthat's what like the first movie, I'm
like, all these people are dyingin these buildings for this superhero movie.

(31:42):
This is awful. I don't Idon't like movies like that. But when
it's just let's end, you cansee the people jumping out of the way
like in the mall. It's fine, it's fine. Nobody got hurt.
Nobody got hurt. Yeah, they'retotally chill. It's fine. Oh.
Also, what the is that atthe end? No, that's at the
beginning where they jump over the bridgewhere it's opening. That's right after he

(32:07):
picks him up. Because yeah,Jake played by John Belushi is upset that
he got picked up in a copcar. Cop car right, a little
unrealistic again, but that's okay.Suspend disbelief a little bit and enjoy the
gag there. They've got a magicalcar that car less than the whole movie.
And then it's just in that onescene at the end, it just

(32:28):
falls apar. I love that one. It pops Everything just pops out.
Yeah, it's awesome. Doors popoff, everything falls off. There's little
just like pieces that come off.It's beautiful. No, I love the
all scene. Oh so funny.Oh, John Candy looks so scary.
I don't know when I realized becauseI'm sure the first time I saw it,

(32:52):
which would have been on TV,you know, within a year or
two after it had played in thetheaters, I might not even know who
he was at the time. Helooks very strange. It's just because he's
blonde, yeah, and his hairis longer than you usually see it,
Yeah, long and like very puttogether, and you don't usually see him

(33:16):
as a bad guy. I mean, he's kind of a bad guy in
this, Yeah, because the ElwinBrothers, the Blues Brothers or the Yeah,
even though they're lawbreakers and they're maybenot good people, there's something that's
childlike about them. Yeah, butthey're also doing it for a good cause.

(33:38):
It's an orphanage, trying to savean orphanage for Pete's sake. Guys.
Yeah, speaking of bad guys theNazis movie, and they get treated
with the respect that Nazis deserve deserved, no, literally, because they can
run off. Everyone's like yelling outof screen, Adam flipping a wall,

(34:00):
and then they're just doing any good. You know. That's not how you
don't yell at Nazis. You tryand run them over, run them all.
You run Nazis over. That's thesolution to prous I hate Illis Nazis.
Yeah, so we've got not onlytheir quest, but now we have

(34:22):
a bunch of adversaries. Yeah,we've got the cops, We've got Carry
Fisher, Carrie Fisher, the Nazis, and the good old boys. Yeah,
from their stinted Bob's Country Bunker.That seems funny too. They sing
their like own music at first,and they're like, no, they they're

(34:45):
sing that they kind of play atthe beginning of their shows, and yeah,
that's why they find out very quickly. While why the chicken wire is
there? Yeah, which apparently,whether you're good or bad, it's because
the wire is there. So becauseonce it got to the like, oh
they like this music, there's stillchucking glass bottles at them. That's what

(35:07):
you do, good or bad,you throw bottles. Of course, you
throw bottles at your favorite but Ilove that. Another great scene and then
when they're singing the love song andeveryone's cuddling, and then cut to that
one guy who's just like man literallycrying in his beer as they say,

(35:27):
poor dude. And then the leaderof the country band is our friend from
Signs of the Lambs, Charles napierand we've got a little chase scene.
They're not as convoluted or crazy asthe other ones. Oh but isn't that
what the cops go into the copsget involved again. No, that they
don't go into the truck. That'sat the end. They hit the trailer
though, they hit the trailer,take off the trailer, and then pull

(35:50):
their guns on the Rednecks. Yeah, who are also racist, by the
way, Oh, anti Semitic atleast. Oh well, there you go.
See. I think the Blues Brothersare fighting the good fight against big
a. Yeah, yeah, racism, cops, cops, dude. That

(36:10):
one scene, where is it wherethey cut to John Candy and there's the
pig cop statue on his dead Ithink it's a piggy bank. Actually silly,
just a little you know, gagthere that I love. Yeah,
that was one of the pictures,and the novelization has a bunch of you
know, eight pages of pictures orwhatever. And I always remember seeing that

(36:34):
picture before I ever saw the movieand just laughing at it. Yeah,
it's perfect, it's perfect. Acab and then they're also being chased by
carry Fisher, who is shake Jakejilted left at the altar another movie trope,
or how could you leave Carrie Fisherat the What the hell? He's
a heel? He is a heel. Elwood's the innocent and Jake is kind

(36:59):
of the heel. But I grewup and die. She'd like she finally
gets like up to them, andhe like what, takes off his glasses.
He uses his masculine wiles, Iguess to get out of it the
first time his glasses come off,and then he kind of just pushes her

(37:22):
in the mud and they leave.Kind kind of does I mean he does?
That's one of the funny things aboutthe film is that they never take
their sunglasses off. But there isone of the extra scenes in the longer
version, and I believe this wasthe one that was shown on TV.
They actually show Elwood go to hisjob. He's not wearing his sunglasses then,
which I believe is why they probablycut it out of the theatric version

(37:45):
because you don't you don't want tosee that yet, you don't want to
see them without their sunglasses. That'spart of their mystique, yeah, which
they mentioned at the end with thatfamous line that they say when they're getting
ready to head back to Chicago.One hundred and six miles. Goggle.
We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes. It's
dark and we're wearing sunglasses. Hitit. We mentioned Twiggy and you're like,

(38:10):
I think you had been scrolling toIMDb. Yeah, Twiggy kind of,
but Tweggy, I don't think I'veever seen her with long hair like
that, which is kind of.She was very famous for her her short
her short hair and all of herwhole asthetic. But I was like twiggies
in the kind of fun. Whyit's Twiggy. I don't know why.

(38:35):
I don't know what the relationship iswith the people involved in the film.
Like, Okay, Carrie Fisher madesense. Yeah, Carrie Fisher makes sense.
That Frank Oz makes sense, andSteven Spielberg makes sense. Yeah,
he said that. You know,the other cameos are either music related or
they're friends of John Landis, area part of that Saturday Live thing she

(39:00):
hosted Sarah Live. She was friendswith. I think her and dan Ackroyd
dated. Uh, yeah, alot of it makes sense. Twiggy,
I don't know what the connection is. Yeah, I would I would like
to look into that because just like, well, I know Twiggy because of
like fashion stuff, So it wasjust like, what why is twigt this?
But I get it was kind ofsad that she went to the their

(39:22):
little meetup and then he go hedidn't get to go, no tweaky,
So that always kind of makes melaugh. At the end, it's like
she actually went, yeah, shewent, he missed his chance. And
he charges her ninety five dollars forgas or ninety four, and she gives
them ninety five. There you he'sbeen a big tank in that little car
because gas was probably fifty cents agallon back Oh my god, yeah,

(39:45):
maybe a dollar, maybe a dollarin nineteen eighty the end where all of
the cops, troopers, et cetera. Are all just making noises as they
fallow swat team they like going upthe building, and it's just the one
guy and it's just him doing it, and then they cut to the wide

(40:07):
shot and then you just get allof them. That's comedy timing right there.
Hell yeah, perfect, perfect.That whole extended chase scene at the
end is just brilliantly awesome shot andedited and choreographed, and the stunts are
amazing. And I don't know howmany cars they destroyed, but oh so
it looked like so many. Andthen the whole like the nazis going flying

(40:30):
and then like confessing their love orwhatever, and it's sinking into the ground.
It's just funny how high up inthe air they are. It goes
so high they go, it doesn'tmake any sense whatsoever that they're high up
in the air. After that,it's all jump off the bridge under construction

(40:51):
or overpass, I guess, actually, yeah, and they go flying and
then it's just up in the airlike would be so high up. Anybody
that actually wants like details and stuff, go listen to the Projection Boosts podcast
on the Blues Brothers and John Landisgets into all of that. He's interviewed
for that episode and they had tomake sure that it would actually float down

(41:15):
that way and you know, notflip and fly into the city or whatever.
Yeah. Yeah, and then itjust lands in the middle of the
street and the other and then carsquashes it. And just the little gags
too, where it cuts to what'shis face put in the poster up and
it's upside down. Yeah, I'msorry of it. That's so funny.

(41:38):
It's awful about and he shoots atthe little kid and yeah, the little
kid he just streets good lord,or like when they cut to the Nazis
and he's painting the like golden,the golden. Yeah, and he just
popped up on something else. We'reflipping through the channels, yesterda Hey,

(42:00):
it's the Illinois Nazi. Yeah,well it was a biodome. Yeah,
it was something. And then speakingof that, there was the other guy
in the background, which was thatraising Arizona that he's in. He's in
Fargo. He finds the disgruntled carcar buyer in Fargo that William H.
Macy has put the True Coat onhis car without his permission. See,

(42:23):
they install that true code at thefactory. There's nothing we can do,
but I'll talk to my boss.These guys here, these guys, it's
always the same. It's always war. Yeah, he was in that,
and he was in something else.We were watching the other as an older
person, I can't remember what.I can't remember either murder She wrote,

(42:43):
no, no, it was itwas another movie or so that was a
different person. We've seen a lotof people in the past few days there's
a lot of this happens. Thisis It's part of what's been going on
in my head. It's like Ineed to cut back on trying to place
who everybody is and I don't knowanymore. Yeah, you said you had
a Caddyshack tie in earlier. I'vetold this story on a number of different

(43:08):
podcasts on the but have I heardit In the Chasing Chevy Chase podcast when
we talk about Caddy Shack, Imentioned this, and I've probably mentioned it
numerous times when I talk about theBlues Brothers on here. Yeah, that
was the big choice of the summerof nineteen eighty for me and your aunt
Julie. It was between Caddyshack andthis as our first rated our movies to

(43:29):
go see, and we picked CaddyShack and we should have picked this.
Yeah. Part of the reason isit would have been a little less uncomfortable
watching this with Nana in the theaterbecause it's rated R. I'm glad it's
righted R because if they had editedit for PG, it would have meant
cutting out the language and really,yeah, the language is funny. That

(43:53):
scene with the penguin when he's cassinga lot the TV edit is awful because
it's eighty rd with stupid you know, non cuss words. There's only a
couple of other swear words in themovie. There's no nudity, there's no
yea sex really maybe some innu windowhere and there. Alcohol and not even

(44:15):
alcohol, it's just there cursing.It's a very innocent, childlike cartoony action
comedy. Well we get to curse, but I'm glad that it's not.
They didn't cut some of those outto get a PG rating, to get
a bigger box office, because alot more people would have been able to
see it if it had been PG. They got a big box office because

(44:37):
the stuff that is in there,it's funny, takes it adult enough to
like, Okay, this is funny. Yeah, that's funny. You know.
That would have gone over. Ithink much better with Ranana than Cause
Skettish. That's pretty raunchy. Yeah, yeah, much more so than this
out of all the movies we've watched. Definitely not for Caddy Shore, but

(44:57):
compared to this one, Yes,for a RATEDAR movie, it's pretty tame,
to be honest, and a wholeheck of a lot of fun.
It depends on what I've seen mostrecently, but I think between this and
Young Frankenstein, they're my top twofavorite comedies of all time. I love
You Frankenstein. I could watch eitherone. If I catch it on TV

(45:19):
or whatever, I'll stop and watchit. That's why you've seen bits and
pieces of this because when it playsand I'll sit there and watch it until
you guys come home and make mechange it. Oh yeah, Young Frankenstein
is always I like that movie.It's another classic that doesn't get old.
No. Yeah, well, anythingelse about The Blues Brothers I think,

(45:44):
I mean, we could just likedissect the whole movie, but I think
that's it. Once they get finallyget to the concert, and I mean
I enjoy the music and the concertfootage as well a lot, but that's
like the end. We get backinto it right after that with the extended
them. Yeah, I still amcurious those to that fade out. Yeah,

(46:07):
they're going in the music playing andthen it fades out and it's now
light out, which is fine forit's just an odd transition that fade happens
a few times in the movie actually, and it's it's just kind of a
weird transition. I think that's wheredeleted scenes are or something. Yeah,
it's one of my all time favoritesand it was very fun to watch.
I don't know how many times I'vewatched it over the last few years,

(46:30):
but it's a lot. And nowyou've finally watched it. Yeah, and
even without Rubber Biscuit, it wasenjoyable. Yes, very The other day
I had a Rico biscuit. ARico biscuit is the kind of a biscuit
that's the bost of bounce back offthe wall into your mouth. They don't

(46:52):
bounce back, you go hungry.Any other movies or anything you want to
mention before we I have to lookat our list again. What we watched?
Leave? Oh. I finally watchedFootloose the first time, like full

(47:16):
fully, I'd only ever seen thelast scene. We watched Footloose because Yorky
Flatliners was on Yeah, Flatliners wason you. And I finally watched The
Dead Zone The Ice is Gonna Break. Yeah, sad, sad, christ
Sad melancholy, Christopher walking. Wewatched Swiss Army Man as a family.

(47:40):
Somebody said something about watching something weirdand I'm like, well, we still
haven't watched Swiss Army Man. It'sweird but also very sad. Yeah.
When we were watching that, Iwas like, watch. Another movie we
watched was Self Reliance. I waslike, kind of similar, Yeah,
sad man, and it took thatturn that we feared was happening in Self

(48:04):
Reliance, which didn't. Yeah.I finally watched The Exorcist three. Yes,
we watched Johnny Darko, which Ireally liked. Johnny dark Oh yeah,
I really liked that movie. It'san interesting one. It's an odd
yeah, because I'd always like,I've seen pictures of Frank before, like
I knew he was like the mainthing, I guess, But then it
was like, actually it's a wormhole, and actually there's all of this other

(48:28):
stuff, and I was just really, yeah, what do we watch?
I always kind of forget about thenot twist, but the angle of that
film. Then I'm like, ohyeah, yeah, yeah, now I
get why this is all happening.Yeah, and baby Jennam alone was in
that. Watched all the recent Planetof the Apes films. Yeah, those
were good. I really liked thosemovies, especially the third one. The

(48:50):
third one was fun. Watched AllThat Jazz, which Lamb Harold and Maud.
Oh. I loved that reference tothat. When we're watching Blues Brothers
when they got pulled over, Iwas like, they gotta hear Old mod
this and You're like it's better,and I was like, oh god,
oh man, I love that thatscene in her Old and Maud it's a

(49:14):
motorcycle copy always adjusting his pants.That's it. Yeah. I just love
that she takes everyone's cars. Yeah, she's a street funeral car. I
love her. What else? Yeah, you mentioned Lamb. That was a
good movie that was sad. Iloved that little. I remember when that

(49:37):
movie came out and I just likesaw the trailer and everyone was like,
either, oh my god, she'sso cute, oh my god, it's
a freak, and I don't likeit, and I was like, what's
cute? Normal, She's Lamb,mitchmash Baby, you guys gotta be nice
to her. That movie was depressing, but I liked it mostly because cute

(49:58):
baby Lamb. Child have a name? Was it? Yeah, something like
that Ada or Ada however they pronouncedit something. And then we also watched
Are Either God It's Me Margaret,which is actually really cute. This was
the other movie in which Mark andClio saw actor Gary Houston the true out
guy. These guys here, theseguys. Because I don't think I ever

(50:21):
read that or like you did.But that was a good like it's just
an enjoyable little movie, a littlecoming of age film. Yeah. For
some reason, it kept making methink of The Holdovers. I don't know
what it was. I guess maybejust the time period, time period and
like kind of aesthetic of it.Yeah, and The Holdovers reminds me of

(50:43):
Rushmore. Mmmm, I think Isaid when we were watching it. Also
because Cat Stephens song plays in it, like the same one. I'm pretty
sure that's in. I think it'sso Rushmore. I think you're right.
Yeah, that was a good movie. Yeah, that was a really good
We watched good movies this time.We did a while back. We watched
because you mentioned on the back toSchool episode the Hunger Games prequel, which,

(51:07):
oh yeah, and I'm almost donewith that book, which is also
really good, having a fun timewith it. It's quite different from the
book from when I've read so far, but it's still like holds Up as
a pretty good movie. It wasfun to watch already. Anything else,
Oh, we watched thirteen going onthirty and I saw a post the other

(51:27):
day where it was like, huh, there have been two movies where Mark
Ruffalo falls in love with a girlwho's in a woman's body but has a
girl brain and it's thirteen going onthirty and four things. Yeah, I
think I saw something similar to thatafter the opposite movies, and I was
just like, oh my gosh.Hm. I was like, how do
I react to this? Yeah?Why is this? Happened twice? But

(51:51):
that was a good movie too,and not so funny that it was booth
Mark Ruffalo. Yeah, weird,very strange. I think that's it alrighty
okay, well, sort of anotherback to school situation here, because yeah,
