(01:30):
pretty constantly surprised. That's how manythings there are. Yeah, I do
too. I don't really think thatI've seen everything, but gosh, there
are times when we're trying to findsomething to watch where it really feels like
we've seen everything. Yeah, I'mhearing a high pitched there it is in
(01:57):
my ear. I want to leavethis in. Okay, don't do it.

You got it. I can hearit too, and you hit the pitch.
Thank you. Um. All right, So we have an overarching big
thing that we're going to talk aboutin the first and second half of this
(02:43):
of this one, right because wewent on a little bit of a binge,
kind of a binge of these threemovies, a binge of love a
binge of a love beinge growth notsuitable grows. That's not what we're talking
about. Um no, but wedid. We we decided the other I
(03:06):
guess we were on coming. Itwas like last week. Oh it was
was it? It was around her, It was around fall break, wasn't

form they're made their family movies.Yeah, and so we're going to talk
(03:28):
about those in a second. We'llget those second to the secret, but
first we want to talk about adifferent, very cool thing. Yes,
um, Natalie go for it.Yeah, um, so really quickly.
This is sort of a show,so you can find them on YouTube kids
(03:49):
or YouTube. It's like a webseries kind of. Um it's Cosmic kids
Yoga. Yeah, and Cora lovesit. Ye. Whenever she says,
hey, Mama, I want todo some yoga. This is what I
put on. And can we justruminate, can we just absorb the world
that there's never been a time,There's never been a time before now when
(04:15):
a five year old month saying canI do yoga? Mom? I want
to do some yoga. Yeah.Well they make it, they make it
fun for that super fun. Okay, So let me tell you about Cosmic
kids Yoga. How it started?Um Jamie? Um? How do you
would you say? Her last name? A more? Amer? Yah?
(04:39):
It's amer or anymore? Um?She just goes by like Jamie on the
channel. Um. She went toUm, she went to like acting school
for a time. And when shewas say, in acting school, she
(05:02):
did a lot of kids parties andjust was like a storyteller at kids parties.
She realized when she was doing thosekids parties that kids like to move.
Sure, and any of us thathave kids know, like, there
is usually not a lot of stilltime. Yeah, if you want to
(05:26):
try and get them sitting down andstill and listen to a story, it's
hard to do, very hard todo. And I commend elementary school teachers.
Yes, for sure. I studiedto become an elementary school teacher.
Yeah, and I realized in mysenior year, Nope, this is really
(05:46):
hard. It is very hard.And so like Cora's elementary, her kindergarten
teacher right now has my utmost supportand respect because I know exactly what she's
going through and it is so hardfor sure. Um So, what she
started to do at these parties wasto introduce different movements during her story talent
(06:15):
storytelling. Yeah, she also started. She also got herself certified in adult
yoga and kids yoga um, andthose are called hold on. She is
a qualified adult yoga teacher and aregistered Children's Yoga teacher, which those of
you that are into yoga and thecertifications know what that means. I don't.
(06:40):
I just she does yoga. Um. So in twenty ten she started
going around to school. So she'sEnglish. She grew up I'm sorry British.
Yeah. Um, she grew upin reading, which it looks like
(07:00):
reading to me, but it's actuallypronounced reading, right, I'm pretty sure
that. I mean, I knowthat, I know that the New England
version of that city is called writing, so I assume that it's the same.
Okay, yikes, Jamie. Sorryif we're just butchering it. By
the way, we're going to tagcosmic kids yoga and well I'll tell them
about that. I'll tell them aboutthat. She grew up in reading England.
(07:26):
She studied acting in Bristol and thenin twenty ten she started teaching in
schools and in her local area.She started teaching doing this storytelling and along
with yoga. And then in twentytwelve, Martin, who is her husband,
(07:47):
said hey, let's video this.Let's video this film some of it.
Put it on YouTube, so maybeother kids around the world would be
interested in listening to your story whilethey're doing yoga. Now her videos have
tens of millions of views. Yeah, like fifty million or more views on
(08:11):
her YouTube channel. Yeah, solet's try I'm going to try to describe
kind of what she does. Shemay take a subject like Halloween or my
Little Pony, or trolls or Frozen, and she'll tell a story. The
whole time she's telling a story,and she'll go and then the bad witch
(08:35):
came up to the children, andshe'll go, Okay, let's get into
witch pose. And she'll do apose that we as adults who have done
yoga, will know as tree poseor something. So clear that when Natalie
says we adults who might know whomight know yoga things, she's not including
(08:56):
me. She's not saying that weas a family do yoga. This is
not something that has caught on forRich, But Natalie has done a lot
of yoga, and what she's sayingis the broader adult yoga audience and not
this family. Right. Rich doesnot do yoga. I do, however,
(09:16):
do yoga. So when people tellme different poses, I usually know
what that means. Yeah. Um, So she will take a pose like
again we as a we those adultsthat no yoga will take a post like
tree pose or a post like umsnake post, like she really condenses them
(09:39):
down into words that kids would userather. Or she'll call the witch pose,
or she'll call it um see I'meven well, she'll she'll she'll just
add like a little storytelling flare,so like it'll be it'll be, it'll
be the pose. And then she'lldo something with her hands to make like
(10:00):
like it'll some sort of modification thatmakes it feel like it's part of the
story. So it's like the kidsare they're making movements that are a part
of the story. Yeah, andthen by the end of the story you
don't realize, Oh, because Ihave done some of these with Kora and
they are actually a pretty good workout, and adults can kind of amp it
(10:26):
up for themselves. A little bit. If you're really wanting to try to
get a good yoga workout in,you can amp it up. If you
know yoga, you can add yourown modifications and stuff like that. But
they she moves a lot, alot, and these kids, Kora always
wants me to put her my yogamat out and she will follow along with
(10:52):
it. And she's moving the wholetime and hearing a story. Also,
Jamie is just the way she speaksis so clear for a kid, it's
so clear. The way she storytellstorytells story, story. The way she
tells a story is entertaining. Yeah, and also she's doing it usually um
(11:20):
with some sort of like virtual backgroundor that that goes along with the story.
And a lot of times she dressesin a way that pertains to that
story. She usually always has ablue sweatsuit type thing on, so that
(11:41):
I mean, you can pick herout from anywhere. She has a huge
following on YouTube. She does herown like I believe, like Instagram stories
and stuff like that. She um, there's never anything that happens on this
channel that I feel like I shouldsupervise, if that makes sense. It's
(12:03):
incredibly safe, it's incredibly safe.Yeah. Also, Jamie as a person
seems like a lovely human being.Absolutely, do you want to tell the
story? Sure? Now, Sowe come across this still from time to
(12:24):
time, And if you have veryyoung kids, you may have seen this.
In the age that we live innow, it's hard for them to
understand even where she is, whereshe's she's five and a half and like
she's beginning to understand the way theworld works more. But it's harder to
understand sometimes that these people who shecan see on the screen are not people
she can directly interact with. Right. We encounter this a while back.
(12:48):
I think we talked about with Ryan. I think she was probably three or
going on four when she realized Icould not call Ryan. Yeah, we
she and she was devastated. Shewas like, why would we had a
terrible, terrible day because she waslike, but mommy, Ryan is somebody
(13:09):
I'd love to watch. I wouldlike to be his friend. Please call
him. And I could not explainto her more I cannot, right,
And we had to tell her,like, we there's nothing we can do
to contact Ryan, right, wedon't have a way to contact Ryan.
But she asked, she said,I want to tell she something happened on
(13:31):
I think on one of the videosthe Jamie had said like you can and
you can send me a message atso and so, like she had given
her social media stuff, and soCora was like, Mommy and Daddy,
I want to send a message toJamie and tell her high so that she'll
know that I like doing yoga withher. And I was like, okay,
(13:54):
So Rich is the only one inthis family that does Twitter. Yeah,
I don't do Twitter. If Iwant to tweet anything, I'd tell
Rich to do it from from ourfrom our podcast Twitter. Yeah. Yeah.
And so and so I was like, Okay, I probably can send
a message to Jamie. And Iwas just like, listen, she gets
(14:16):
so many messages. She may notshe may not reply to us, so
we may not know it, butI can definitely send her a message and
just tell her that you like theshow. Because she'd also seen that we
had just watched the new My LittlePony and there was a new Jamie was
going to do a new uh setwith that was like based around the new
My Little Pony movie, right,um and so and she and Cora really
(14:41):
likes the frozen uh yeah stuff thatshe does she has, she has several
frozen videos, and so I waslike, I will send it. I
just I wanted to set her expectation, and so I tweeted at Jamie at
the Cosmic Kids Yoga Twitter account andI just said, hey, Jamie,
I don't know if you are goingto get this or not, but I
(15:03):
just wanted you to know that wethat we have a daughter who loves your
what you do. She wanted tosay hi, and she wanted to tell
you that she is looking forward todoing the new My Little Pony, and
you said, like, her nameis Cora and she's five and all that.
Yeah. And the next day,yeah, we got a we got
(15:26):
a reply um saying, Hi Cora, I'm so glad that you enjoy doing
yoga something I'm paraphrasing. I remember. Yeah, but Hi, Core,
I'm so glad you love doing yoga. And I can't I think you're really
gonna like my Little Pony. Yeah. And and so I get to tell
Cora. I was like, Jamiereply, Yeah, Jamie sent you a
(15:48):
message back and were ready. Itmade her whole day. Day made her
whole day. She was so excitedand she came running into me, Mommy
Jamie messaged me back like it wasso exciting for her, so like that
whole inner of that whole business.I guess what is that team or whatever,
(16:10):
And it may really just be likeher and her husband and maybe I
don't know who her team is,but they're on top of it and they
are looking for they're they're really tryingto connect with your kids. They really
are, and I think it's verygenuine and it is very nice. Yeah,
(16:32):
for sure, it's very nice.So there was one point where I
posted a picture of Kara doing likea warrior, one of the warrior poses,
and I was just like, welove and then I tag like Cosmic
Kids Yoga or something like that,and I had several of my mom friends
(16:52):
going where do you find this?Where is this? And I'm like,
look on YouTube Cosmic Kids Yoga becausethey were like, my kids would love
this, and she has very much. She loves it. Um, especially
when it's been a day where she'skind of just been kind of sitting around

Kora has enjoyed watching fun for thewhole family. Yeah, um, the
Great British Baking Show. Love it, love it. So this season they
so what Travis and Teresa do isthat they they watch yeah, they watched

said they talked her about me.Um. The next week, Rich and
I happened to be watching Great BritishBanking Show at the same time I usually

(20:45):
I'm going to be really really mad. Like I told him, I
said, if they mentioned Rich andthey don't mention Natalie, I'm going to
be irritated. They mentioned both onthe show. It was very cool.
It was very cool because Travis goes, oh, and Natalie says this is
this, and he says oh itAlso Rich says this, this, this,
(21:08):
and this, and we were standingin the kitchen and we did I
did several happy dancers. Yeah,it was a good It was a good
day. It was a good day. That's a lot that we're talking about
that. Yeah, noybe, itwasn't too bad. Um, okay,
So what we'll do is, let'stake a break in Promoville and then we're
(21:29):
gonna do a blitz on. We'regoing to do our best on a blitz
Yeah. Right after we take aquick pit stop and Promoville and we're back
from Polla. Let's get it goingbecause we got a lot to talk about.
(21:56):
Jamie Jamanie one of my favorite thingsin the world. Um. So
I think here's what brought Jumanji atleast into my head. They coincided closely
together. Um. And we won'ttalk about it. I don't remember if
we talked about it when it washappening either. But this test footage for
(22:17):
this for like a Robin Williams biopiccould come out, yeah, um,
which was very viral for a while. Yeah. Um, the guy is
it's incredible. It's incredible. Um. I had let's we won't go into
the whole thing of it, butthe guy is incredible. Yeah. Um,
(22:37):
So we had Robin Williams on thebrain. I think it's part of
it. Um, I know Idid. And then we happened to be
flipping through. Was it on Netflixor I don't remember watch Remember honestly,
we're flipping through somewhere and there wasJumanji. We're like, you know what,
love some Robin Williams loved him.Um, and so we watched love
(22:59):
Bonnie Hunt of her. So wewatched through Jumanji. Um. And that's
what we're gonna talk about today.We're gonna talk about Jamanji and the world
that it inspired. Yes, sorry, I had I had to stifle a
little bit of adubble, a littlebit of a bubble, all right,
um, really quickly, super quickly. I wanted to call you out.
(23:25):
We're going to do this at thetop, absolutely, Okay. I don't
think I think that there are goingto be people out in the world who
a hundred sympathize with me, andthen there will be me people who never
even considered that this was a bobblem. Sorry, you never considered it.
I did it. Can I saywhat the thing is and then you can
(23:45):
criticize me? Please? Go?Yes, okay, listen, everyone I
thought go. I thought Bonnie Huntand Helen Hunt were sisters. Yeah.
So he we're watching the movie andhe says something about like, I'm body
con I'm a sister of Helen Huntor something like that, or my sister
did the Twister movie or something likethat. And he said it so confidently.
(24:10):
And when he says things very confidentlyusually usually of the time they are
correct. It's just that when I'mwrong, I'm so wrong, and when
he's wrong, he's so wrong.So I in my brain went, wait,
what, like, they are notsisters. So very quietly I looked
it up, very quietly. Iwas like, our Bonnie Hunt and Helen
(24:32):
Hunt sisters and I never knew that. Like, I looked it up and
I was like, babe, Isaid, I love you very much,
but please please, they are notsisters. And he had an existential crisis
because here's the thing. I neverthis is not one of the things.
(24:52):
Usually when this happens to me,I've read something and I like, remember
something like put away. This issomething that has been in in my I've
I've just accepted it as true sincechildhood. Yeah, with no basis.
I understand they're of an age.Yes, together, they're they're they're similar.
I think that they're similar enough lookingthat they could be related. Yeah,
(25:17):
and so it just made sense tome that here are these two actresses.
You also look it up after Ilooked it up. Okay, so
they're not related or not related inanyway. Um, but yeah, it's
just I've always accepted that these twoactresses were related because it seems like they
(25:37):
should be. And after you saidthat, I was like, Okay,
I get where you would do that, but I had never ever thought,
I mean, it was going tosurprise. It's weird because he was going
to surprise me that they were sisters. That's so weird. But then you
were completely confident that they were becausehow wouldn't it be They should be They
(26:02):
should be sisters. Okay, we'redone with that. Okay, Bonnie Hunts
in this movie, Bonnie Hunt Iabsolutely love her. Also, can we
talk about baby Kristen Dunce. KirstenDunce, Kirsten. I always call her
Kristen. I'm so sorry Kirsten duncedbaby before she got kind of okay before
Spider Man's not my favorite while shewas still a child. This was made
(26:26):
in nineteen ninety five, and yeah, Robin Williams like, for me,
I think different people will say differentthings about what Robin Williams is like Heyday
was, But for me, themid nineties was Robin Williams's Heyday because this
was Robin Williams's Heyday. Was themovie he was in. To me,
(26:48):
you mean, whenever you're seeing amovie, that was him at the top
of his game. Yeah, becausehe was always doing it one hundred and
fifty percent. Absolutely, Robin williaminstance, Heyday was the movie he was
in. Whatever, it's whatever movieyou're watching at the moment. Well,
I mean that's not You're not wrong, because the thing is like, it's
always good. But that's why I'msaying the nineties was such a stretch because
(27:11):
then because there was hook right,there was Jumanji. There was Patch Adams,
Yes, there was. He couldmake you laugh and he could make
you cry. Absolutely, I meanthere's there's there's some insane actor. I
mean, it's not just it's noteven just like family movies. It's like
Good Morning Vietnam. Ye, it'sa Dead Poet Society. It's all these
(27:33):
amazing movies that happened in this sortof stretch. The Morning Vietnam's like,
I think that's more like a maybeearly Nights, but I think that's an
eighties but I'm telling you, anymovie he's in was his Heyday Missus Doubtfire.
Yeah, come on, he alwaysdid well. Yeah, I think
so this movie at the moment hewas making it was the best movie he'd
(27:56):
ever made? Was he Bison Dannyon me? Yeah? He was,
oh man, Yeah, it cameinto my brain is like he was a
robot for a second and I waslike, what's he a robot? And
he was all right, Um,so quick uh quick. Plot synopsis.
(28:18):
If you haven't seen Jim Mungie theoriginal, like nineties version, yeah,
please get out there, stop thispodcast and go watch which had a lot.
Just stop this and go watch it, because it's more important for them
to watch Jamungie to watch to listento us. This podcast is more of
(28:38):
a service than it is even areview this we should be being paid by
Ju Mungie. That's right. Umokay. So Robert Williams plays Alan Parrish,
who is the son of Sam andCaroline Parish, and they live in
Brantford, New Hampshire. I'm noteven sure. I don't think Brantford's even
a real city, but it's ait's a it's a town of New Hampshire.
(28:59):
You grew up in New Hampshire,you should know all the cities.
I know it's not a city becausethere's only thirteen cities in New Hampshire and
everywhere else you go in New Hampshireis a town. Well, little slice
of snapped, little slice of NewHampshire. Knowledge for you there, Yeah,
yeah, Brantford it's and they runa shoe factory. So they're like
(29:21):
a big well to do family inthis little town in New Hampshire because they
make all the best shoes in NewEngland and they make all the money,
and they make all the money.Alan is sort of picked one because he's
not a super tough guy. He'sbullied because his family is rich. Here's
the thing. Yeah, it doesn'tfeel it doesn't ring true. I feel
(29:41):
like kids get bullied no matter what. Somebody finds something that they don't like
about them and they just decide Idon't like this about you, so I'm
going to bully you for it.Yeah it sucks. Kids are mean.
Yeah, so so the I thinkI think it's that there's like an a
extension being put on the factory andground has been broken, and Alan is
(30:03):
walking around after school hiding from somebullies and he comes across this uh the
drum beat do do Do Do Dodo do um and he and he finds
us this old old wooden box withuh with a board game, the board
game in it, and he umand he takes home. Oh, freeboard
(30:25):
game, sweet free board game inthe ground. Let's get this. Let's
get this bad boy out of here. I should say, we should say
that The movie opens, yes,and like the middle of the Revolutionary war
or something, and two boys areout in the middle of the woods and
that we're there, like we haveto get rid of this, and they
bury the board game. Yeah.Um, And then flash forward to the
(30:48):
late sixties when this is happening,and so he takes home uh and he
uh. He has a fight withhis family because his dad thinks he should
just be tougher, toughen up.His dad wants him to go to a
boarding school. Yeah, and notlike we're sending you away, but it's
supposed to be like a prestigious congratulationto send you away for a few years.
(31:11):
And he's like, what if Idon't want to go to the boarding
school? And he's like, you'rea parish. You have to go to
the boarding school, and mom anddad leave for some event. Mom and
dad leave for some event, butalso in the midst of an argument.
Yeah, and so I leave thislittle boy by himself in a giant mansion.
Yeah, he doesn't even seem likethey have like a butler or anything,
(31:33):
like no one's wanted. But nobabysitter, no nanny, no nurse,
nothing. He's like twelve, he'stwelve. I know he doesn't really
need like a babysitter, but Imean it's a huge, big hold,
it's a gigantic house. Um.And then this girl comes over, who
this is the reason that the bullyis kind of after him too. Is
like he's friends with this girl andshe's like the popular, like hot,
(31:56):
hot middle school girl. What Imean is that's not what I mean.
I'm not saying that. I'm sayingthat she's like the popular girl. Yeah,
and he's and he's like friends withher. She's beautiful, she's tall,
she's blonde, she's maybe a littlebit older than him. And she
goes, oh, here's your bikethat this guy stole from you. He's
(32:17):
a jerk, and this guy didn'twant him talking to his girl, and
all this jazz and then ridiculous alittle and then little baby Robin Williams says,
hey, you want to play thisold, old, old old,
and she goes, that's stupid.No, but also but also accidentally plays
it, which if you watch themovie you know what we mean. Hey,
(32:38):
guess what twist the board games magic? The board games Magic. Alan
gets sucked into the board game.Yeah, unlike the second turn. On
the second turn, remember the batscome out first. Yes, oh,
the bats happen. He gets suckedinto the board game. And then she
(33:00):
gets chased away by bats. Yeah. And then suddenly it's thirty years later.
Yeah, flash forward and and weand we're in the same house.
It's being purchased by Kirsten Dunst andher little brothers Aunt. Yeah, they
are there. They're orphans, theirorphans. Well yeah, but I mean
(33:22):
they're there there. Aunt is theirguard guardian. Yes, and she's wanting
to purchase this giant house for something. I think we're thinking it's like a
bed and breakfast or a hotel ofsome sort or something. It's yeah.
Um, and they're like, uh, very sassy children for for recent orphans.
(33:43):
Yeah. Uh. A little boydoesn't talk not really no, he
doesn't speak to people other than hissister, right yeah. Um, And
so they have a hard time ofit too. But then they find they
find this old, old wooden boardgame in the attic and they hear it
going boo. Jamanji chooses its players. This is something that's important to realize
(34:09):
about, really, the whole likethe whole thing. Yeah, it's important
to know that, like Jumanji doesn't. It's not like you open the game
and like it's you're trapped playing.Jamonji is intelligent. Jermanji chooses its players.
Yeah, yeah, you don't chooseSo they so they start playing the
game and realize, um, okay, so when Alan was pulled into the
(34:34):
board game, they had to somebodyelse had to roll a five or eight,
correct, a five or eight toget him out of the board game.
Yep. Um. So Peter,who is now the new little boy,
rolls a five I think a fiveor an eight, and suddenly they
have a full grown Robin Williams mwho believes he is still in the jungle,
(35:00):
who has had to survive for thirtyyears by himself in a jungle full
of beasts and people that are huntinghim, and he comes out, not
knowing what day it is, yeah, not knowing what year it is,
yeah, thinking that his mom anddad would be still at this house that
(35:22):
he pops back out in, andhe realizes in that moment, we're going
to have to play this game.We have to play the rest of the
game. And to play the restof the game, we have to get
Sarah. Well, I wanted to, yes, see that we get to
that point. They it takes awhile to get like he, I don't
(35:43):
think we said the girl's name Sarah, Bonnie Hunt's character who will meet in
a minute, But I didn't.We did have this funny moment, a
moment I hadn't considered until this timethat we watched Jumanji, which is if
Peter hadn't rolled five or eight,it that the game would have been over,
(36:05):
oh, because there would be nobodyelse to take the turn right,
which is a fatal flaw in Jamanjiif you think about it, Well,
we don't know, do we.Jamanji's magic maybe it would have figured something
out today, So maybe it wouldhave said next you get to go again
because the next player is in thejungle. No, but the next player
(36:25):
is Sarah that's the problem. Ohdoes Sarah go first? It's that's the
thing. They go, okay,well you're in, and he goes,
it's not my turn. It's Sarah'sturn, right exactly, Yes, some
thinking from the park. Oh dear, okay, can you put it just
like in the bathroom trash? Canplease? Yes, bathroom trash? Can
(36:49):
you? I see it? Soproud of you. Thanks. Bye.
Cora had to come in and andalso and relive her glory days, which
is today, which is today.She had her last soccer game and she
got a little trophy that says mostvaluable, valuable, most valued participant.
(37:14):
Yeah, she has a little trophythat she's been carrying around today. She's
very proud of herself. Yeah.It was a fun season. It was
fun. It was so good forher. Okay, let's continue. So
yeah, it's Sarah's turn. It'sSarah's turn. And so if and so
Peter hadn't rolled. If Peter rolledfour, his piece were to move.
Jamanji has said, you need Sarahblah blah blah to continue this game.
(37:39):
I don't know. I don't know. We don't know, do we We
don't Maybe Jumanji made the five happen, which is not fair. No,
that's not fair. That's not agood board game, you know what,
Jumanjia. So they realize they needSarah. They go to Sarah's old house
(38:07):
as far as Alan can remember.Yeah, and Sarah is actually still living
there, and it's Bonnie Hunt,and we love her. I've always loved
Bonnie Hunt. She was not thesister of Helen Hunt. If anybody was
wondering, I don't even think aboutit. Then they really have to convince
her because she has believed that thewhole thing that happened to her as a
(38:29):
child, Alan getting sucked into bythe board game and the bats coming after
her was a delusion. Yeah,she's been to therapy, she's been to
psychiatrists, and all of them havesaid, this is a delusion that you
had. There was no such orknown, not that there was no such
person, but just a coincidence thatAlan also disappeared after the thing you sa
(38:52):
Alan was supposed to. The urbanlegend was that Alan was killed by his
parents right and buried in the wallsof the house or something like that,
because nobody knew what happened to Alan, not even his parents. For the
hobo the hobo didn't know what happened, but the hope remember they Alan goes
(39:13):
to the shoe factory, which islike defunct and not being used anymore.
Sorry, there was a there wasa person experiencing homelessness, and what do
we say transient? No, Idon't think even that is. Oh,
I'm sorry. The thing to dois to not identify them as a type
of person. So it's a person, a person living in the abandoned shoe
(39:34):
factory, right, um. Andand he's like, he's like, what
happened here? And and this guy'slike, well, after young Alan Parrish
died, his father did, sohe knows the whole story. Yeah,
he's like, he's like, AlanParrish disappeared, and he goes and wad
(39:54):
looking for him and his money totry to find him. So he tells
the story that like people think thatthat the parishes did something to Alan.
He's like, no way, noone saw Alan they died. No one
saw Sam. I think that wasthe dad's name. Um, no one
like Sam. Sam couldn't couldn't livewithout his son. And then he went
(40:16):
out looking for him, and hespent all of his fortune trying to find
him. Um. So then wego like, huh, actually awesome parents.
Yeah, actually better, very kindparents. Blah blah blah blah blah.
We shouldn't take out too much timewith this. Well, we're gonna
have to save the other Jumanji's foranother episode. I feel like, I
(40:38):
think I think we can. Yeah, I think we can maybe do a
deep dive on them another time.But I think it's worth talking about the
world building. Okay, great,so, um, so we won't we
won't do a we will do alittle bit of a Skipsey here, a
little Skipsey's. Um, they playedthe game, and more and more things
from Jumanji are coming out into theinto our world. You can only get
(40:59):
rid of the thing that happen fromJimunji if you finish the game of Jimunjie,
right and they and that's an assumption. Nobody says that that we make.
That's assumption that they make in thisnot a game rule. But it's
just like you got to finish thegame, right, um and so,
but but it's reasonable because it's liketerrible things keep happening, but if we
(41:22):
can just power through and get tothe end of the game, it'll be
over. And at the worst casescenario, things will stop coming out of
the game, Like, yeah,that's the worst case is that at least
there won't be more new things comingout. Well, there are only more
new things when they roll though,right, But that's my point. It's
like when the game's over. Butif they just stopped in the middle,
(41:43):
No, they didn't know when theyended that all the things would get sucked
back into the game. That's whatI'm saying, right, is that if
even if they didn't know that everythingwas going to the middle take, even
if they didn't know that everything wasgoing to go away, they could like
hope that that was the case.And if they were wrong, well,
at least there was no more movesto make, right, Okay, Um,
(42:06):
at the should we just say atthe end? Well, really quickly,
I want to point out that umand what's his name? Hang on,
let me get I'm using the mouselike that's connected to this computer?
Um? Um, where's this?Where is he? Why isn't he on
here? I'm sure he's on there. Who are you talking about? The
(42:27):
Hunter guy? Yeah? Um,so okay, here's here's the point.
The Hunter comes out and the Hunteris played by the same guy that plays
Jack that plays Alan's dad. Right, hold on, we can here,
No, we can get it.It's not no, the cast doesn't have
the cast has six people on iton IMDb. Uh, oh, here
(42:52):
we go. Okay, gotcha,gotcha, gota conta. I just didn't
see him. M Jonathan Hyde whomfor me? The main thing that I
know him from is that he isthe butler from Richie Rich. I don't
know if you know that. Okay, I wasn't as into Ritchie Rich as
(43:13):
you were. Well, he hadmy name, Well I know, so
rich I think you often got calledRichie Rich. I did, and that
wasn't fun. Well, so whatyear was that? What year was Richie
Rich something like that. So likewhen you were that age, Yeah,
and your name was rich and peoplecalled you Richie Rich and it wasn't so
(43:34):
fun. Yeah. Yeah, it'snever fun. This is aside. It's
never fun to have a nickname thatyou didn't like participate in getting. I
never had nicknames. But okay,wow, Well, anyway, I think
it's cool that the guy who playsman Pelt, which is the name of
the hunter that comes out of Jamanjito chase Allan m is played by the
same guy who is the dad Andthere's like a symbolism. Yes, sure,
(43:58):
and even in the script their symbolismbecause there there's this moment at the
end and we can skip to theend, to the end. So more
and more things, oh man,I think I just okay, um,
more and more things keep coming outof the of the game. And they
get to the end and the Huntertracks him down. Sorry for the interruption,
(44:20):
great a grievous injury. Um.So so there's this moment at the
end where finally Alan's been running fromthe hunter this whole time, right right,
and finally the hunter uh gets himand he's like, go ahead and
run like I'm I'm gonna I'm that'smy thing. I chase you. Yeah,
And finally Alan goes, no,I'm done running from you, and
(44:42):
he goes all right, finally actinglike a man. Which is the last
thing that Alan's dad said to himis that he need um and and so
Alan like he stands up and it'sthis, it's a cool moment. He's
like, stands up. He's like, drop whatever you're holding. It's the
dice. He drops the dice andhe rolls exactly what he needs, exactly
what he needs to land his pieceright in the middle of the board,
(45:06):
and he goes ju Mundie, andthat begins the terrifying tornado, absolutely terrifying,
very scary. Yeah, a terrifyingtornado of everything going back into the
game. Yeah. Uh. Andand little little Alan and little what's her
face Sarah are back in nineteen sixtynine. Yeah, so it completely reverts
(45:30):
back to when it began. Alanas a young boy, Sarah as a
young girl. They're together in thehouse. His dad walks in saying he
had forgotten something because remember they weregoing to like some sort of gala or
event. Yeah, he was supposedto give a speech, so he forgot
his note, forgot his notes.And when he walks in, Alan just
(45:50):
gives him a big hug and it'sjust like love you, dad, you
know, And he's like, yeah, love He two sons, I really
do like. They have this momentum. Then they go and dump the game
in a river. Yeah, theyput some weight on it, rocks.
Yeah, I think they weigh itdown with rocks and then dump it in
the river. And they're just like, we hope this doesn't get to anybody
(46:12):
else. And then we kind ofskip forward. Let's go back to nineteen
ninety five. Back and the houseis full, it's alive, it's a
Christmas party. It's Robin Williams andBonnie Hunt of parents own the shoe place.
Now, yeah, everything. Theyended up hiring the two kids that
they have actually quote never met,Yeah, their parents, the kids.
(46:37):
They didn't hire the kids. No, it's not. It's not that kind
of chew factory. But they hired. They hired the dads to do something
and like marketing, I think,yeah, And the dad's like, well,
actually, we're gonna go do thisthing that they know actually led to
their death. And they're like,no, don't do that. We really
(46:57):
need you to just start working,you know, which is another one where
we were like, you know,it's good. The thing is that that
they know that they're saving their lives, right, But also it would feel
really weird to Ksen's dad to belike, no, we agreed. I
I have a pre planned vacation andyou already told me I could do it,
(47:20):
and now you're saying cancel your vacationso that we can start getting to
work on the very nicely. Theygo, okay, yeah, we're excited
to get started too. You knowstuff like that and uh, but like
in the modern work, it takescouldn't do. It ends up being very
nice, very happy, very everything, and then suddenly we are Um.
(47:42):
I think they do a credit scenein it's right before the credits roll.
It kind of goes to black andthen it comes back up and Jimani is
like on the shores of like somewhere, and there's another country. Yeah,
there's another language that's spoken of.Two kids are walking by and they go,
do you hear that? And thenit's then roll credits. Yeah,
(48:06):
And it's great. It's a lotof fun. It's wrong for the whole
family. It's a there's funny.There's funny monkey jokes through most through most
of it, hilarious monkey jokes.I could take her, take her leaving.
The monkeys. The monkeys are abig part of it, actually,
come to think of it, monkeysare actually a very big part of it.
And that's like probably my least favoritepart, Yeah, is the monkeys
(48:30):
and what the monkeys bring. Yeah, the yeah, the yeah, the
whole monkey thing, the whole money, you know, the monkey thing.
Um, we're gonna keep going.So here's here's what we'll do. We're
not going to go all the wayinto everything. Oh man, but I
love it. It's really good.This, I mean, y'all, We'll
(48:52):
do We'll do a Jumanji sequel episode, Okay, I would like that because
it only gets better. It trulydoes. Is great, It truly does.
And usually with these sorts of movies, you go like off the original
and then they just kept going andfor the money or whatever, you know.
(49:15):
Really, honestly, to goodness,I have enjoyed every single Jamanji movieably.
I have completely. But I dowant to just quickly talk about the
two things. Okay. The oneis that it's natural to think of the
(49:36):
sequels to Jamanji as being Jamanji Welcometo the Jungle and Jumanji The Next Level,
the two movies that came out recently, like in the last five years.
But in reality it's not truly asequel, but it's a Wikipedia refers
to as a spiritual successor to Jumanji. And I also love it. It's
(49:59):
a great movie. It's terribly underrated, terribly Zathura, a space adventure Love
Love. It came out ten yearsafter Jumanji, and it's and it's basically
a reimagining of Jumanji, just ina different setting. Instead of being set
(50:19):
in a jungle, it's set inspace. That's Josh Hutcherson Hutchins. I'm
sorry, hud Jerson or Hutchinson.It is Josh Hutcherson. And also is
it Dacks she das shepherd? Ohmy goodness, I can't remember. Also,
(50:40):
Kristen Stewart seriously is like the sister. Also, no way, Frank
Oz the voice of Yoda as arobot. I did not realize. Okay,
I remembered Josh Hutchinson Hutcherson, SorryI can't say his name, and
Dak's shepherd, but I did notremember Chris Christen Stewart, which is also
(51:06):
not one of my super weird thingthat I'm gonna get kind of out.
I know Frank Oz is he's thevoice of Yoda. Right, yeah,
thank goodness. Man. For justa second, I had a I was
gonna no, I just had thismoment where I was like, oh,
no, you just said the wrongthing. Could I say the wrong thing?
(51:30):
Yeah? I think it really hasshaken my knowledge of who people are
because I was like Frank Oz,I was like, no, he's definitely
the Muppet guy. But he wasthe Yoda two right Oh no, okay
um, Yes, another board gamethat goes terribly awry. Yeah, and
in fun different way in space andin space it's Jamunge in space something.
(51:58):
I mean, seriously, we needto look this movie up and watch it
again because I it's actually super fun. But what I like and then the
second thing I want to say aboutthe sequels, just with broad strokes,
is that what I like a lotabout the new Jumanji movies is that they're
(52:20):
actually set in the same world,so like when they're consistently cast so when
those so when those characters go intoJumanji, they go to the same Jumanji
that Alan Parish went to. Yes, and there are and there are little
little easter eggs of Alan Parish andhis time that was spent in Jumanji having
been there. Yes, super cool, so good. Um. Yeah,
(52:45):
and I love, like I justsaid, I love that they use that
they were able to use the samepeople cast wise. Yeah. Um,
can we do another episode that's aboutthose sequels and well doing Jumanji sequel episode
super quick? Last thing? Okayum, there was also a Jumanji TV
(53:08):
show. There was an animated series. Didn't see that one. It ran
for three entire years. Really,Okay, um, what's it called Jumanji
full stop Jumanji. It's just calledJumanji. Uh yeah, I guess so
it might have been Jumanji the animatedseries, but on here it's just called
(53:29):
Jumanji. Okay, borrowed healthily fromthe film, incorporating various characters, locations,
and props. Um the series retconsrather than using the film storyline,
it challeges it so it's in thatit's not cannon. And then, um,
there was a Jumanji board game obviously. Um. I in twenty twenty,
(53:52):
when all the stuff was going down, I went to Target and I
took a picture of a full shelfthat had just Jamuncie board games on it.
I took a picture and I postedon Facebook and it was like,
this is not the year to begiving out Jamunji games to a bunch of
people. We can't handle this.In twenty twenty, Yeah, there was
(54:14):
also it looks like a very badPC game called Jamanji a Jungle Adventure game
pack, Oh dear, that alsocame out in nineteen ninety six. To
like kind of go along with themovie and everything, I'm seeing seems like
it was not great. It waslike basically mini games. It was like
you were playing Jamachi. Um.So we honestly we're trying to get all
(54:37):
of the Jamunji's into this movie.It was never going to happen, and
it apparently it wasn't because I lovethe Jamanji movie great and I wanted to
give it more of the time thatit needs to talk about than to just
rush through all three movies. Sowe've done. I feel like we even
(55:00):
rushed through kind of a little bitthe original. Yeah. Um, but
it's fine. Um, that's whatthat's what it is. But we've done
the original. Uh, next episodethat we put out, let's talk about
the two sequels and let's let's watchand talk. Can do we have time?
(55:21):
I think so. I think Ithink we can. As much as
they are their own two movies,I think that we can combine the two
sequels. Okay, So, um, before you hear our next episode next
week, please go watch the Jamungjisequels with the rock. Yeah. Um
(55:43):
man, I love him. Youneed it. Yeah, So your your
homework is both it's called Jamungi intowhat's it called Jumanji. Welcome to the
Jungle, Welcome to the Jungle,the next level, the next level,
and then Zaza. I don't knowwe're gonin. I honestly don't know either.
We're gonna probably at the end ofthis go and see if we can
(56:05):
find it at all. Zathura aspace adventure. Um, all of these
are Jamanji basically sequels. UM,check it out. Oh here's the thing.
This is important. I know we'reI know we're drawing this out,
but I just want to say thatI didn't know this until just now when
(56:27):
I clicked into Zathura. Zura isa book. Jamanji is a book.
Both are written by the same person. So that's why they That's why they're
spiritually related. Gotcha. They're notthe same universe, but they are the
same concept, right, Okay,although maybe they're the same universe. I
mean, we don't know, there'sno reason to say they can't be.
(56:49):
Yeah, space in space in Jamanji. So Zathura and the two Jamanji sequels
for next time. Yep, thishas been another episode of not suitable for

kids Yoga. How it started?Um Jamie? Um? How do you
would you say? Her last name? A more? Amer? Yah?
(04:39):
It's amer or anymore? Um?She just goes by like Jamie on the
channel. Um. She went toUm, she went to like acting school
for a time. And when shewas say, in acting school, she
(05:02):
did a lot of kids parties andjust was like a storyteller at kids parties.
She realized when she was doing thosekids parties that kids like to move.
Sure, and any of us thathave kids know, like, there
is usually not a lot of stilltime. Yeah, if you want to
(05:26):
try and get them sitting down andstill and listen to a story, it's
hard to do, very hard todo. And I commend elementary school teachers.
Yes, for sure. I studiedto become an elementary school teacher.
Yeah, and I realized in mysenior year, Nope, this is really
(05:46):
hard. It is very hard.And so like Cora's elementary, her kindergarten
teacher right now has my utmost supportand respect because I know exactly what she's
going through and it is so hardfor sure. Um So, what she
started to do at these parties wasto introduce different movements during her story talent
(06:15):
storytelling. Yeah, she also started. She also got herself certified in adult
yoga and kids yoga um, andthose are called hold on. She is
a qualified adult yoga teacher and aregistered Children's Yoga teacher, which those of
you that are into yoga and thecertifications know what that means. I don't.
(06:40):
I just she does yoga. Um. So in twenty ten she started
going around to school. So she'sEnglish. She grew up I'm sorry British.
Yeah. Um, she grew upin reading, which it looks like
(07:00):
reading to me, but it's actuallypronounced reading, right, I'm pretty sure
that. I mean, I knowthat, I know that the New England
version of that city is called writing, so I assume that it's the same.
Okay, yikes, Jamie. Sorryif we're just butchering it. By
the way, we're going to tagcosmic kids yoga and well I'll tell them
about that. I'll tell them aboutthat. She grew up in reading England.
(07:26):
She studied acting in Bristol and thenin twenty ten she started teaching in
schools and in her local area.She started teaching doing this storytelling and along
with yoga. And then in twentytwelve, Martin, who is her husband,
(07:47):
said hey, let's video this.Let's video this film some of it.
Put it on YouTube, so maybeother kids around the world would be
interested in listening to your story whilethey're doing yoga. Now her videos have
tens of millions of views. Yeah, like fifty million or more views on
(08:11):
her YouTube channel. Yeah, solet's try I'm going to try to describe
kind of what she does. Shemay take a subject like Halloween or my
Little Pony, or trolls or Frozen, and she'll tell a story. The
whole time she's telling a story,and she'll go and then the bad witch
(08:35):
came up to the children, andshe'll go, Okay, let's get into
witch pose. And she'll do apose that we as adults who have done
yoga, will know as tree poseor something. So clear that when Natalie
says we adults who might know whomight know yoga things, she's not including
(08:56):
me. She's not saying that weas a family do yoga. This is
not something that has caught on forRich, But Natalie has done a lot
of yoga, and what she's sayingis the broader adult yoga audience and not
this family. Right. Rich doesnot do yoga. I do, however,
(09:16):
do yoga. So when people tellme different poses, I usually know
what that means. Yeah. Um, So she will take a pose like
again we as a we those adultsthat no yoga will take a post like
tree pose or a post like umsnake post, like she really condenses them
(09:39):
down into words that kids would userather. Or she'll call the witch pose,
or she'll call it um see I'meven well, she'll she'll she'll just
add like a little storytelling flare,so like it'll be it'll be, it'll
be the pose. And then she'lldo something with her hands to make like
(10:00):
like it'll some sort of modification thatmakes it feel like it's part of the
story. So it's like the kidsare they're making movements that are a part
of the story. Yeah, andthen by the end of the story you
don't realize, Oh, because Ihave done some of these with Kora and
they are actually a pretty good workout, and adults can kind of amp it
(10:26):
up for themselves. A little bit. If you're really wanting to try to
get a good yoga workout in,you can amp it up. If you
know yoga, you can add yourown modifications and stuff like that. But
they she moves a lot, alot, and these kids, Kora always
wants me to put her my yogamat out and she will follow along with
(10:52):
it. And she's moving the wholetime and hearing a story. Also,
Jamie is just the way she speaksis so clear for a kid, it's
so clear. The way she storytellstorytells story, story. The way she
tells a story is entertaining. Yeah, and also she's doing it usually um
(11:20):
with some sort of like virtual backgroundor that that goes along with the story.
And a lot of times she dressesin a way that pertains to that
story. She usually always has ablue sweatsuit type thing on, so that
(11:41):
I mean, you can pick herout from anywhere. She has a huge
following on YouTube. She does herown like I believe, like Instagram stories
and stuff like that. She um, there's never anything that happens on this
channel that I feel like I shouldsupervise, if that makes sense. It's
(12:03):
incredibly safe, it's incredibly safe.Yeah. Also, Jamie as a person
seems like a lovely human being.Absolutely, do you want to tell the
story? Sure? Now, Sowe come across this still from time to
(12:24):
time, And if you have veryyoung kids, you may have seen this.
In the age that we live innow, it's hard for them to
understand even where she is, whereshe's she's five and a half and like
she's beginning to understand the way theworld works more. But it's harder to
understand sometimes that these people who shecan see on the screen are not people
she can directly interact with. Right. We encounter this a while back.
(12:48):
I think we talked about with Ryan. I think she was probably three or
going on four when she realized Icould not call Ryan. Yeah, we
she and she was devastated. Shewas like, why would we had a
terrible, terrible day because she waslike, but mommy, Ryan is somebody
(13:09):
I'd love to watch. I wouldlike to be his friend. Please call
him. And I could not explainto her more I cannot, right,
And we had to tell her,like, we there's nothing we can do
to contact Ryan, right, wedon't have a way to contact Ryan.
But she asked, she said,I want to tell she something happened on
(13:31):
I think on one of the videosthe Jamie had said like you can and
you can send me a message atso and so, like she had given
her social media stuff, and soCora was like, Mommy and Daddy,
I want to send a message toJamie and tell her high so that she'll
know that I like doing yoga withher. And I was like, okay,
(13:54):
So Rich is the only one inthis family that does Twitter. Yeah,
I don't do Twitter. If Iwant to tweet anything, I'd tell
Rich to do it from from ourfrom our podcast Twitter. Yeah. Yeah.
And so and so I was like, Okay, I probably can send
a message to Jamie. And Iwas just like, listen, she gets
(14:16):
so many messages. She may notshe may not reply to us, so
we may not know it, butI can definitely send her a message and
just tell her that you like theshow. Because she'd also seen that we
had just watched the new My LittlePony and there was a new Jamie was
going to do a new uh setwith that was like based around the new
My Little Pony movie, right,um and so and she and Cora really
(14:41):
likes the frozen uh yeah stuff thatshe does she has, she has several
frozen videos, and so I waslike, I will send it. I
just I wanted to set her expectation, and so I tweeted at Jamie at
the Cosmic Kids Yoga Twitter account andI just said, hey, Jamie,
I don't know if you are goingto get this or not, but I
(15:03):
just wanted you to know that wethat we have a daughter who loves your
what you do. She wanted tosay hi, and she wanted to tell
you that she is looking forward todoing the new My Little Pony, and
you said, like, her nameis Cora and she's five and all that.
Yeah. And the next day,yeah, we got a we got
(15:26):
a reply um saying, Hi Cora, I'm so glad that you enjoy doing
yoga something I'm paraphrasing. I remember. Yeah, but Hi, Core,
I'm so glad you love doing yoga. And I can't I think you're really
gonna like my Little Pony. Yeah. And and so I get to tell
Cora. I was like, Jamiereply, Yeah, Jamie sent you a
(15:48):
message back and were ready. Itmade her whole day. Day made her
whole day. She was so excitedand she came running into me, Mommy
Jamie messaged me back like it wasso exciting for her, so like that
whole inner of that whole business.I guess what is that team or whatever,
(16:10):
And it may really just be likeher and her husband and maybe I
don't know who her team is,but they're on top of it and they
are looking for they're they're really tryingto connect with your kids. They really
are, and I think it's verygenuine and it is very nice. Yeah,
(16:32):
for sure, it's very nice.So there was one point where I
posted a picture of Kara doing likea warrior, one of the warrior poses,
and I was just like, welove and then I tag like Cosmic
Kids Yoga or something like that,and I had several of my mom friends
(16:52):

You know, you know we lovemac Roys. You know, we

(18:07):
Travis is one of the maca Roysand Teresa is his wife. They
do a podcast called bake On andthat has to do with what we call
bake the Great British Baking Show,which is actually bake Off in Britain.
I don't know why the their severalnames of this, but if you go
(18:29):
on Netflix, you can watch TheGreat British Baking Show. Another thing that
Kora has enjoyed watching fun for thewhole family. Yeah, um, the
Great British Baking Show. Love it, love it. So this season they
so what Travis and Teresa do isthat they they watch yeah, they watched
(18:49):
the episode and then they talk aboutit afterwards. And this is they only
put out this podcast while the season'sgoing on, right, So they just
said like, hey, if youhave a anything you'd like us to talk
about it or anything you missed,let us know, tweet us at um
us and used the hashtag bake on. So one week I was like,

Rich because I don't tweet, cameinto Rich and said, hey, would
you tell them this this and this? UM tweet it to Travis tweet it.
Teresa put hashtag bake on UM andbecause this is something they didn't mention
(19:33):
an episode. The next episode thatcame out, they said, and Travis
says, oh, by the way, Natalie says, blah blah blah blah
blah, had a fit, madeher day, made my day. I
called Rich because he wasn't in thehouse at the time. I called Rich
and I said, they talked aboutme on the podcast, Like I was
(19:56):
so excited. The next week andI don't think we've even told anybody else
about this. I don't think sono, because I immediately like texted my
brother and because my brother loves themcilroys as well, I texted him and
said they talked her about me.Um. The next week, Rich and
I happened to be watching Great BritishBanking Show at the same time I usually
(20:22):
watch it on my own, right, I just I was on a break.
We were on a break. Hewas on a break phone work,
and he was watching it with me, and I said, hey, could
you tweet this to them and we'lljust see if they say my name again?
Like that would be so cool.And he said okay, yeah,
and he tweeted and he said,you know what, I'm gonna do one
for me too. I said,really, if they choose you over me,
(20:45):
I'm going to be really really mad. Like I told him, I
said, if they mentioned Rich andthey don't mention Natalie, I'm going to
be irritated. They mentioned both onthe show. It was very cool.
It was very cool because Travis goes, oh, and Natalie says this is
this, and he says oh itAlso Rich says this, this, this,
(21:08):
and this, and we were standingin the kitchen and we did I
did several happy dancers. Yeah,it was a good It was a good
day. It was a good day. That's a lot that we're talking about
that. Yeah, noybe, itwasn't too bad. Um, okay,
So what we'll do is, let'stake a break in Promoville and then we're
(21:29):
gonna do a blitz on. We'regoing to do our best on a blitz
Yeah. Right after we take aquick pit stop and Promoville and we're back
from Polla. Let's get it goingbecause we got a lot to talk about.
(21:56):
Jamie Jamanie one of my favorite thingsin the world. Um. So
I think here's what brought Jumanji atleast into my head. They coincided closely
together. Um. And we won'ttalk about it. I don't remember if
we talked about it when it washappening either. But this test footage for
(22:17):
this for like a Robin Williams biopiccould come out, yeah, um,
which was very viral for a while. Yeah. Um, the guy is
it's incredible. It's incredible. Um. I had let's we won't go into
the whole thing of it, butthe guy is incredible. Yeah. Um,
(22:37):
So we had Robin Williams on thebrain. I think it's part of
it. Um, I know Idid. And then we happened to be
flipping through. Was it on Netflixor I don't remember watch Remember honestly,
we're flipping through somewhere and there wasJumanji. We're like, you know what,
love some Robin Williams loved him.Um, and so we watched love
(22:59):
Bonnie Hunt of her. So wewatched through Jumanji. Um. And that's
what we're gonna talk about today.We're gonna talk about Jamanji and the world
that it inspired. Yes, sorry, I had I had to stifle a
little bit of adubble, a littlebit of a bubble, all right,
um, really quickly, super quickly. I wanted to call you out.
(23:25):
We're going to do this at thetop, absolutely, Okay. I don't
think I think that there are goingto be people out in the world who
a hundred sympathize with me, andthen there will be me people who never
even considered that this was a bobblem. Sorry, you never considered it.
I did it. Can I saywhat the thing is and then you can
(23:45):
criticize me? Please? Go?Yes, okay, listen, everyone I
thought go. I thought Bonnie Huntand Helen Hunt were sisters. Yeah.
So he we're watching the movie andhe says something about like, I'm body
con I'm a sister of Helen Huntor something like that, or my sister
did the Twister movie or something likethat. And he said it so confidently.
(24:10):
And when he says things very confidentlyusually usually of the time they are
correct. It's just that when I'mwrong, I'm so wrong, and when
he's wrong, he's so wrong.So I in my brain went, wait,
what, like, they are notsisters. So very quietly I looked
it up, very quietly. Iwas like, our Bonnie Hunt and Helen
(24:32):
Hunt sisters and I never knew that. Like, I looked it up and
I was like, babe, Isaid, I love you very much,
but please please, they are notsisters. And he had an existential crisis
because here's the thing. I neverthis is not one of the things.
(24:52):
Usually when this happens to me,I've read something and I like, remember
something like put away. This issomething that has been in in my I've
I've just accepted it as true sincechildhood. Yeah, with no basis.
I understand they're of an age.Yes, together, they're they're they're similar.
I think that they're similar enough lookingthat they could be related. Yeah,
(25:17):
and so it just made sense tome that here are these two actresses.
You also look it up after Ilooked it up. Okay, so
they're not related or not related inanyway. Um, but yeah, it's
just I've always accepted that these twoactresses were related because it seems like they
(25:37):
should be. And after you saidthat, I was like, Okay,
I get where you would do that, but I had never ever thought,
I mean, it was going tosurprise. It's weird because he was going
to surprise me that they were sisters. That's so weird. But then you
were completely confident that they were becausehow wouldn't it be They should be They
(26:02):
should be sisters. Okay, we'redone with that. Okay, Bonnie Hunts
in this movie, Bonnie Hunt Iabsolutely love her. Also, can we
talk about baby Kristen Dunce. KirstenDunce, Kirsten. I always call her
Kristen. I'm so sorry Kirsten duncedbaby before she got kind of okay before
Spider Man's not my favorite while shewas still a child. This was made
(26:26):
in nineteen ninety five, and yeah, Robin Williams like, for me,
I think different people will say differentthings about what Robin Williams is like Heyday
was, But for me, themid nineties was Robin Williams's Heyday because this
was Robin Williams's Heyday. Was themovie he was in. To me,
(26:48):
you mean, whenever you're seeing amovie, that was him at the top
of his game. Yeah, becausehe was always doing it one hundred and
fifty percent. Absolutely, Robin williaminstance, Heyday was the movie he was
in. Whatever, it's whatever movieyou're watching at the moment. Well,
I mean that's not You're not wrong, because the thing is like, it's
always good. But that's why I'msaying the nineties was such a stretch because
(27:11):
then because there was hook right,there was Jumanji. There was Patch Adams,
Yes, there was. He couldmake you laugh and he could make
you cry. Absolutely, I meanthere's there's there's some insane actor. I
mean, it's not just it's noteven just like family movies. It's like
Good Morning Vietnam. Ye, it'sa Dead Poet Society. It's all these
(27:33):
amazing movies that happened in this sortof stretch. The Morning Vietnam's like,
I think that's more like a maybeearly Nights, but I think that's an
eighties but I'm telling you, anymovie he's in was his Heyday Missus Doubtfire.
Yeah, come on, he alwaysdid well. Yeah, I think
so this movie at the moment hewas making it was the best movie he'd
(27:56):
ever made? Was he Bison Dannyon me? Yeah? He was,
oh man, Yeah, it cameinto my brain is like he was a
robot for a second and I waslike, what's he a robot? And
he was all right, Um,so quick uh quick. Plot synopsis.
(28:18):
If you haven't seen Jim Mungie theoriginal, like nineties version, yeah,
please get out there, stop thispodcast and go watch which had a lot.
Just stop this and go watch it, because it's more important for them
to watch Jamungie to watch to listento us. This podcast is more of
(28:38):
a service than it is even areview this we should be being paid by
Ju Mungie. That's right. Umokay. So Robert Williams plays Alan Parrish,
who is the son of Sam andCaroline Parish, and they live in
Brantford, New Hampshire. I'm noteven sure. I don't think Brantford's even
a real city, but it's ait's a it's a town of New Hampshire.
(28:59):
You grew up in New Hampshire,you should know all the cities.
I know it's not a city becausethere's only thirteen cities in New Hampshire and
everywhere else you go in New Hampshireis a town. Well, little slice
of snapped, little slice of NewHampshire. Knowledge for you there, Yeah,
yeah, Brantford it's and they runa shoe factory. So they're like
(29:21):
a big well to do family inthis little town in New Hampshire because they
make all the best shoes in NewEngland and they make all the money,
and they make all the money.Alan is sort of picked one because he's
not a super tough guy. He'sbullied because his family is rich. Here's
the thing. Yeah, it doesn'tfeel it doesn't ring true. I feel
(29:41):
like kids get bullied no matter what. Somebody finds something that they don't like
about them and they just decide Idon't like this about you, so I'm
going to bully you for it.Yeah it sucks. Kids are mean.
Yeah, so so the I thinkI think it's that there's like an a
extension being put on the factory andground has been broken, and Alan is
(30:03):
walking around after school hiding from somebullies and he comes across this uh the
drum beat do do Do Do Dodo do um and he and he finds
us this old old wooden box withuh with a board game, the board
game in it, and he umand he takes home. Oh, freeboard
(30:25):
game, sweet free board game inthe ground. Let's get this. Let's
get this bad boy out of here. I should say, we should say
that The movie opens, yes,and like the middle of the Revolutionary war
or something, and two boys areout in the middle of the woods and
that we're there, like we haveto get rid of this, and they
bury the board game. Yeah.Um, And then flash forward to the
(30:48):
late sixties when this is happening,and so he takes home uh and he
uh. He has a fight withhis family because his dad thinks he should
just be tougher, toughen up.His dad wants him to go to a
boarding school. Yeah, and notlike we're sending you away, but it's
supposed to be like a prestigious congratulationto send you away for a few years.
(31:11):
And he's like, what if Idon't want to go to the boarding
school? And he's like, you'rea parish. You have to go to
the boarding school, and mom anddad leave for some event. Mom and
dad leave for some event, butalso in the midst of an argument.
Yeah, and so I leave thislittle boy by himself in a giant mansion.
Yeah, he doesn't even seem likethey have like a butler or anything,
(31:33):
like no one's wanted. But nobabysitter, no nanny, no nurse,
nothing. He's like twelve, he'stwelve. I know he doesn't really
need like a babysitter, but Imean it's a huge, big hold,
it's a gigantic house. Um.And then this girl comes over, who
this is the reason that the bullyis kind of after him too. Is
like he's friends with this girl andshe's like the popular, like hot,
(31:56):
hot middle school girl. What Imean is that's not what I mean.
I'm not saying that. I'm sayingthat she's like the popular girl. Yeah,
and he's and he's like friends withher. She's beautiful, she's tall,
she's blonde, she's maybe a littlebit older than him. And she
goes, oh, here's your bikethat this guy stole from you. He's
(32:17):
a jerk, and this guy didn'twant him talking to his girl, and
all this jazz and then ridiculous alittle and then little baby Robin Williams says,
hey, you want to play thisold, old, old old,
and she goes, that's stupid.No, but also but also accidentally plays
it, which if you watch themovie you know what we mean. Hey,
(32:38):
guess what twist the board games magic? The board games Magic. Alan
gets sucked into the board game.Yeah, unlike the second turn. On
the second turn, remember the batscome out first. Yes, oh,
the bats happen. He gets suckedinto the board game. And then she
(33:00):
gets chased away by bats. Yeah. And then suddenly it's thirty years later.
Yeah, flash forward and and weand we're in the same house.
It's being purchased by Kirsten Dunst andher little brothers Aunt. Yeah, they
are there. They're orphans, theirorphans. Well yeah, but I mean
(33:22):
they're there there. Aunt is theirguard guardian. Yes, and she's wanting
to purchase this giant house for something. I think we're thinking it's like a
bed and breakfast or a hotel ofsome sort or something. It's yeah.
Um, and they're like, uh, very sassy children for for recent orphans.
(33:43):
Yeah. Uh. A little boydoesn't talk not really no, he
doesn't speak to people other than hissister, right yeah. Um, And
so they have a hard time ofit too. But then they find they
find this old, old wooden boardgame in the attic and they hear it
going boo. Jamanji chooses its players. This is something that's important to realize
(34:09):
about, really, the whole likethe whole thing. Yeah, it's important
to know that, like Jumanji doesn't. It's not like you open the game
and like it's you're trapped playing.Jamonji is intelligent. Jermanji chooses its players.
Yeah, yeah, you don't chooseSo they so they start playing the
game and realize, um, okay, so when Alan was pulled into the
(34:34):
board game, they had to somebodyelse had to roll a five or eight,
correct, a five or eight toget him out of the board game.
Yep. Um. So Peter,who is now the new little boy,
rolls a five I think a fiveor an eight, and suddenly they
have a full grown Robin Williams mwho believes he is still in the jungle,
(35:00):
who has had to survive for thirtyyears by himself in a jungle full
of beasts and people that are huntinghim, and he comes out, not
knowing what day it is, yeah, not knowing what year it is,
yeah, thinking that his mom anddad would be still at this house that
(35:22):
he pops back out in, andhe realizes in that moment, we're going
to have to play this game.We have to play the rest of the
game. And to play the restof the game, we have to get
Sarah. Well, I wanted to, yes, see that we get to
that point. They it takes awhile to get like he, I don't
(35:43):
think we said the girl's name Sarah, Bonnie Hunt's character who will meet in
a minute, But I didn't.We did have this funny moment, a
moment I hadn't considered until this timethat we watched Jumanji, which is if
Peter hadn't rolled five or eight,it that the game would have been over,
(36:05):
oh, because there would be nobodyelse to take the turn right,
which is a fatal flaw in Jamanjiif you think about it, Well,
we don't know, do we.Jamanji's magic maybe it would have figured something
out today, So maybe it wouldhave said next you get to go again
because the next player is in thejungle. No, but the next player
(36:25):
is Sarah that's the problem. Ohdoes Sarah go first? It's that's the
thing. They go, okay,well you're in, and he goes,
it's not my turn. It's Sarah'sturn, right exactly, Yes, some
thinking from the park. Oh dear, okay, can you put it just
like in the bathroom trash? Canplease? Yes, bathroom trash? Can
(36:49):
you? I see it? Soproud of you. Thanks. Bye.
Cora had to come in and andalso and relive her glory days, which
is today, which is today.She had her last soccer game and she
got a little trophy that says mostvaluable, valuable, most valued participant.
(37:14):
Yeah, she has a little trophythat she's been carrying around today. She's
very proud of herself. Yeah.It was a fun season. It was
fun. It was so good forher. Okay, let's continue. So
yeah, it's Sarah's turn. It'sSarah's turn. And so if and so
Peter hadn't rolled. If Peter rolledfour, his piece were to move.
Jamanji has said, you need Sarahblah blah blah to continue this game.
(37:39):
I don't know. I don't know. We don't know, do we We
don't Maybe Jumanji made the five happen, which is not fair. No,
that's not fair. That's not agood board game, you know what,
Jumanjia. So they realize they needSarah. They go to Sarah's old house
(38:07):
as far as Alan can remember.Yeah, and Sarah is actually still living
there, and it's Bonnie Hunt,and we love her. I've always loved
Bonnie Hunt. She was not thesister of Helen Hunt. If anybody was
wondering, I don't even think aboutit. Then they really have to convince
her because she has believed that thewhole thing that happened to her as a
(38:29):
child, Alan getting sucked into bythe board game and the bats coming after
her was a delusion. Yeah,she's been to therapy, she's been to
psychiatrists, and all of them havesaid, this is a delusion that you
had. There was no such orknown, not that there was no such
person, but just a coincidence thatAlan also disappeared after the thing you sa
(38:52):
Alan was supposed to. The urbanlegend was that Alan was killed by his
parents right and buried in the wallsof the house or something like that,
because nobody knew what happened to Alan, not even his parents. For the
hobo the hobo didn't know what happened, but the hope remember they Alan goes
(39:13):
to the shoe factory, which islike defunct and not being used anymore.
Sorry, there was a there wasa person experiencing homelessness, and what do
we say transient? No, Idon't think even that is. Oh,
I'm sorry. The thing to dois to not identify them as a type
of person. So it's a person, a person living in the abandoned shoe
(39:34):
factory, right, um. Andand he's like, he's like, what
happened here? And and this guy'slike, well, after young Alan Parrish
died, his father did, sohe knows the whole story. Yeah,
he's like, he's like, AlanParrish disappeared, and he goes and wad
(39:54):
looking for him and his money totry to find him. So he tells
the story that like people think thatthat the parishes did something to Alan.
He's like, no way, noone saw Alan they died. No one
saw Sam. I think that wasthe dad's name. Um, no one
like Sam. Sam couldn't couldn't livewithout his son. And then he went
(40:16):
out looking for him, and hespent all of his fortune trying to find
him. Um. So then wego like, huh, actually awesome parents.
Yeah, actually better, very kindparents. Blah blah blah blah blah.
We shouldn't take out too much timewith this. Well, we're gonna
have to save the other Jumanji's foranother episode. I feel like, I
(40:38):
think I think we can. Yeah, I think we can maybe do a
deep dive on them another time.But I think it's worth talking about the
world building. Okay, great,so, um, so we won't we
won't do a we will do alittle bit of a Skipsey here, a
little Skipsey's. Um, they playedthe game, and more and more things
from Jumanji are coming out into theinto our world. You can only get
(40:59):
rid of the thing that happen fromJimunji if you finish the game of Jimunjie,
right and they and that's an assumption. Nobody says that that we make.
That's assumption that they make in thisnot a game rule. But it's
just like you got to finish thegame, right, um and so,
but but it's reasonable because it's liketerrible things keep happening, but if we
(41:22):
can just power through and get tothe end of the game, it'll be
over. And at the worst casescenario, things will stop coming out of
the game, Like, yeah,that's the worst case is that at least
there won't be more new things comingout. Well, there are only more
new things when they roll though,right, But that's my point. It's
like when the game's over. Butif they just stopped in the middle,
(41:43):
No, they didn't know when theyended that all the things would get sucked
back into the game. That's whatI'm saying, right, is that if
even if they didn't know that everythingwas going to the middle take, even
if they didn't know that everything wasgoing to go away, they could like
hope that that was the case.And if they were wrong, well,
at least there was no more movesto make, right, Okay, Um,
(42:06):
at the should we just say atthe end? Well, really quickly,
I want to point out that umand what's his name? Hang on,
let me get I'm using the mouselike that's connected to this computer?
Um? Um, where's this?Where is he? Why isn't he on
here? I'm sure he's on there. Who are you talking about? The
(42:27):
Hunter guy? Yeah? Um,so okay, here's here's the point.
The Hunter comes out and the Hunteris played by the same guy that plays
Jack that plays Alan's dad. Right, hold on, we can here,
No, we can get it.It's not no, the cast doesn't have
the cast has six people on iton IMDb. Uh, oh, here
(42:52):
we go. Okay, gotcha,gotcha, gota conta. I just didn't
see him. M Jonathan Hyde whomfor me? The main thing that I
know him from is that he isthe butler from Richie Rich. I don't
know if you know that. Okay, I wasn't as into Ritchie Rich as
(43:13):
you were. Well, he hadmy name, Well I know, so
rich I think you often got calledRichie Rich. I did, and that
wasn't fun. Well, so whatyear was that? What year was Richie
Rich something like that. So likewhen you were that age, Yeah,
and your name was rich and peoplecalled you Richie Rich and it wasn't so
(43:34):
fun. Yeah. Yeah, it'snever fun. This is aside. It's
never fun to have a nickname thatyou didn't like participate in getting. I
never had nicknames. But okay,wow, Well, anyway, I think
it's cool that the guy who playsman Pelt, which is the name of
the hunter that comes out of Jamanjito chase Allan m is played by the
same guy who is the dad Andthere's like a symbolism. Yes, sure,
(43:58):
and even in the script their symbolismbecause there there's this moment at the
end and we can skip to theend, to the end. So more
and more things, oh man,I think I just okay, um,
more and more things keep coming outof the of the game. And they
get to the end and the Huntertracks him down. Sorry for the interruption,
(44:20):
great a grievous injury. Um.So so there's this moment at the
end where finally Alan's been running fromthe hunter this whole time, right right,
and finally the hunter uh gets himand he's like, go ahead and
run like I'm I'm gonna I'm that'smy thing. I chase you. Yeah,
And finally Alan goes, no,I'm done running from you, and
(44:42):
he goes all right, finally actinglike a man. Which is the last
thing that Alan's dad said to himis that he need um and and so
Alan like he stands up and it'sthis, it's a cool moment. He's
like, stands up. He's like, drop whatever you're holding. It's the
dice. He drops the dice andhe rolls exactly what he needs, exactly
what he needs to land his pieceright in the middle of the board,
(45:06):
and he goes ju Mundie, andthat begins the terrifying tornado, absolutely terrifying,
very scary. Yeah, a terrifyingtornado of everything going back into the
game. Yeah. Uh. Andand little little Alan and little what's her
face Sarah are back in nineteen sixtynine. Yeah, so it completely reverts
(45:30):
back to when it began. Alanas a young boy, Sarah as a
young girl. They're together in thehouse. His dad walks in saying he
had forgotten something because remember they weregoing to like some sort of gala or
event. Yeah, he was supposedto give a speech, so he forgot
his note, forgot his notes.And when he walks in, Alan just
(45:50):
gives him a big hug and it'sjust like love you, dad, you
know, And he's like, yeah, love He two sons, I really
do like. They have this momentum. Then they go and dump the game
in a river. Yeah, theyput some weight on it, rocks.
Yeah, I think they weigh itdown with rocks and then dump it in
the river. And they're just like, we hope this doesn't get to anybody
(46:12):
else. And then we kind ofskip forward. Let's go back to nineteen
ninety five. Back and the houseis full, it's alive, it's a
Christmas party. It's Robin Williams andBonnie Hunt of parents own the shoe place.
Now, yeah, everything. Theyended up hiring the two kids that
they have actually quote never met,Yeah, their parents, the kids.
(46:37):
They didn't hire the kids. No, it's not. It's not that kind
of chew factory. But they hired. They hired the dads to do something
and like marketing, I think,yeah, And the dad's like, well,
actually, we're gonna go do thisthing that they know actually led to
their death. And they're like,no, don't do that. We really
(46:57):
need you to just start working,you know, which is another one where
we were like, you know,it's good. The thing is that that
they know that they're saving their lives, right, But also it would feel
really weird to Ksen's dad to belike, no, we agreed. I
I have a pre planned vacation andyou already told me I could do it,
(47:20):
and now you're saying cancel your vacationso that we can start getting to
work on the very nicely. Theygo, okay, yeah, we're excited
to get started too. You knowstuff like that and uh, but like
in the modern work, it takescouldn't do. It ends up being very
nice, very happy, very everything, and then suddenly we are Um.
(47:42):
I think they do a credit scenein it's right before the credits roll.
It kind of goes to black andthen it comes back up and Jimani is
like on the shores of like somewhere, and there's another country. Yeah,
there's another language that's spoken of.Two kids are walking by and they go,
do you hear that? And thenit's then roll credits. Yeah,
(48:06):
And it's great. It's a lotof fun. It's wrong for the whole
family. It's a there's funny.There's funny monkey jokes through most through most
of it, hilarious monkey jokes.I could take her, take her leaving.
The monkeys. The monkeys are abig part of it, actually,
come to think of it, monkeysare actually a very big part of it.
And that's like probably my least favoritepart, Yeah, is the monkeys
(48:30):
and what the monkeys bring. Yeah, the yeah, the yeah, the
whole monkey thing, the whole money, you know, the monkey thing.
Um, we're gonna keep going.So here's here's what we'll do. We're
not going to go all the wayinto everything. Oh man, but I
love it. It's really good.This, I mean, y'all, We'll
(48:52):
do We'll do a Jumanji sequel episode, Okay, I would like that because
it only gets better. It trulydoes. Is great, It truly does.
And usually with these sorts of movies, you go like off the original
and then they just kept going andfor the money or whatever, you know.
(49:15):
Really, honestly, to goodness,I have enjoyed every single Jamanji movieably.
I have completely. But I dowant to just quickly talk about the
two things. Okay. The oneis that it's natural to think of the
(49:36):
sequels to Jamanji as being Jamanji Welcometo the Jungle and Jumanji The Next Level,
the two movies that came out recently, like in the last five years.
But in reality it's not truly asequel, but it's a Wikipedia refers
to as a spiritual successor to Jumanji. And I also love it. It's
(49:59):
a great movie. It's terribly underrated, terribly Zathura, a space adventure Love
Love. It came out ten yearsafter Jumanji, and it's and it's basically
a reimagining of Jumanji, just ina different setting. Instead of being set
(50:19):
in a jungle, it's set inspace. That's Josh Hutcherson Hutchins. I'm
sorry, hud Jerson or Hutchinson.It is Josh Hutcherson. And also is
it Dacks she das shepherd? Ohmy goodness, I can't remember. Also,
(50:40):
Kristen Stewart seriously is like the sister. Also, no way, Frank
Oz the voice of Yoda as arobot. I did not realize. Okay,
I remembered Josh Hutchinson Hutcherson, SorryI can't say his name, and
Dak's shepherd, but I did notremember Chris Christen Stewart, which is also
(51:06):
not one of my super weird thingthat I'm gonna get kind of out.
I know Frank Oz is he's thevoice of Yoda. Right, yeah,
thank goodness. Man. For justa second, I had a I was
gonna no, I just had thismoment where I was like, oh,
no, you just said the wrongthing. Could I say the wrong thing?
(51:30):
Yeah? I think it really hasshaken my knowledge of who people are
because I was like Frank Oz,I was like, no, he's definitely
the Muppet guy. But he wasthe Yoda two right Oh no, okay
um, Yes, another board gamethat goes terribly awry. Yeah, and
in fun different way in space andin space it's Jamunge in space something.
(51:58):
I mean, seriously, we needto look this movie up and watch it
again because I it's actually super fun. But what I like and then the
second thing I want to say aboutthe sequels, just with broad strokes,
is that what I like a lotabout the new Jumanji movies is that they're
(52:20):
actually set in the same world,so like when they're consistently cast so when
those so when those characters go intoJumanji, they go to the same Jumanji
that Alan Parish went to. Yes, and there are and there are little
little easter eggs of Alan Parish andhis time that was spent in Jumanji having
been there. Yes, super cool, so good. Um. Yeah,
(52:45):
and I love, like I justsaid, I love that they use that
they were able to use the samepeople cast wise. Yeah. Um,
can we do another episode that's aboutthose sequels and well doing Jumanji sequel episode
super quick? Last thing? Okayum, there was also a Jumanji TV
(53:08):
show. There was an animated series. Didn't see that one. It ran
for three entire years. Really,Okay, um, what's it called Jumanji
full stop Jumanji. It's just calledJumanji. Uh yeah, I guess so
it might have been Jumanji the animatedseries, but on here it's just called
(53:29):
Jumanji. Okay, borrowed healthily fromthe film, incorporating various characters, locations,
and props. Um the series retconsrather than using the film storyline,
it challeges it so it's in thatit's not cannon. And then, um,
there was a Jumanji board game obviously. Um. I in twenty twenty,
(53:52):
when all the stuff was going down, I went to Target and I
took a picture of a full shelfthat had just Jamuncie board games on it.
I took a picture and I postedon Facebook and it was like,
this is not the year to begiving out Jamunji games to a bunch of
people. We can't handle this.In twenty twenty, Yeah, there was
(54:14):
also it looks like a very badPC game called Jamanji a Jungle Adventure game
pack, Oh dear, that alsocame out in nineteen ninety six. To
like kind of go along with themovie and everything, I'm seeing seems like
it was not great. It waslike basically mini games. It was like
you were playing Jamachi. Um.So we honestly we're trying to get all
(54:37):
of the Jamunji's into this movie.It was never going to happen, and
it apparently it wasn't because I lovethe Jamanji movie great and I wanted to
give it more of the time thatit needs to talk about than to just
rush through all three movies. Sowe've done. I feel like we even
(55:00):
rushed through kind of a little bitthe original. Yeah. Um, but
it's fine. Um, that's whatthat's what it is. But we've done
the original. Uh, next episodethat we put out, let's talk about
the two sequels and let's let's watchand talk. Can do we have time?
(55:21):
I think so. I think Ithink we can. As much as
they are their own two movies,I think that we can combine the two
sequels. Okay, So, um, before you hear our next episode next
week, please go watch the Jamungjisequels with the rock. Yeah. Um
(55:43):
man, I love him. Youneed it. Yeah, So your your
homework is both it's called Jamungi intowhat's it called Jumanji. Welcome to the
Jungle, Welcome to the Jungle,the next level, the next level,
and then Zaza. I don't knowwe're gonin. I honestly don't know either.
We're gonna probably at the end ofthis go and see if we can
(56:05):
find it at all. Zathura aspace adventure. Um, all of these
are Jamanji basically sequels. UM,check it out. Oh here's the thing.
This is important. I know we'reI know we're drawing this out,
but I just want to say thatI didn't know this until just now when
(56:27):
I clicked into Zathura. Zura isa book. Jamanji is a book.
Both are written by the same person. So that's why they That's why they're
spiritually related. Gotcha. They're notthe same universe, but they are the
same concept, right, Okay,although maybe they're the same universe. I
mean, we don't know, there'sno reason to say they can't be.
(56:49):
Yeah, space in space in Jamanji. So Zathura and the two Jamanji sequels
for next time. Yep, thishas been another episode of not suitable for
adults. UM, we really appreciateyou listening in. Uh, and if
you have something. We haven't donethis in a while. Um, if
