Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

We’re taking a break from David Lynch to answer one of the year’s biggest questions - Is Burton Back, Baby? Ummmm…kind of! Grab your “Handbook for the Recently Deceased” commemorative popcorn tin and join us as we attempt to untangle the very messy BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE. Which sequences wowed us with their sparkling ingenuity? Which plotlines would we excise from the script? What song would you possess people to lipsync to and why is it Bloodhound Gang’s “The Bad Touch”? And - the most important question of all - why has David Sims not been publishing movie reviews lately, why wasn’t he at TIFF, and what the hell is going on at the Sims Swamp?

[00:00:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Blank Check!

[00:00:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Recognize this podcast?

[00:00:23] [SPEAKER_06]: I've never seen that pod before in my life.

[00:00:25] [SPEAKER_09]: Or after life.

[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_09]: I really can't do Beetlejuice.

[00:00:29] [SPEAKER_09]: It's been some years.

[00:00:30] [SPEAKER_08]: I really can't do Willem Dafoe in this movie.

[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_08]: So then we're unified in failure.

[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, my character's a little less well-known I suppose.

[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_08]: Wolf Jackson?

[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_08]: Wolf Jackson.

[00:00:38] [SPEAKER_09]: Last I considered or last I checked he's the star of the number one movie in the

[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_09]: world.

[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice opening to a robust 111 million?

[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_09]: 111.

[00:00:48] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_09]: 111.

[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_09]: Perfect symmetry, spooky.

[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_05]: But I think isn't the beauty of Beetlejuice that he is just a completely open-ended character?

[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_09]: This is true.

[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_09]: It's what makes it hard to do an impression of him because I think it shifts a lot.

[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, sure.

[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, man, business.

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_09]: But I finally, David, many months late to your recommendation, the recommendation

[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_09]: of many others, I've finally been listening to the Seth Meyers Lonely Island podcast, which

[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_09]: is unsurprisingly my shit.

[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_08]: Isn't it just unbelievable how good that is given the genre of podcasts it's within,

[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_08]: which is usually really bad?

[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_09]: I was ready to enjoy it even if it was the worst version of what it could be.

[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_09]: Even if it was bad, I would tolerate it.

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, it's the kind of shit we like.

[00:01:33] [SPEAKER_09]: But there is one episode where Andy Sandberg talks about his pitch for a show at Sketch

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_09]: that was supposed to be a cold open that was meet the press, but Tim Russert was

[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_09]: out and the guest host was Beetlejuice.

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_09]: The whole thing.

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_09]: Was that Sandberg in like 2006, which I'd argue was kind of an idea of a low

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_08]: Beetlejuice is cultural relevance.

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_08]: Right. Well, it's kind of like how as Meyers makes fun of him for multiple

[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_08]: times about this, he kept working.

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_08]: Quantum. Yes.

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_08]: To recall into the enemy mind sketch.

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_09]: The enemy mind.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_09]: His pitch was just what's a movie I like from the 80s.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_09]: Can I do it?

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_09]: But Sandberg was talking up how good his Beetlejuice impression was.

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_09]: And I was sort of in this episode going like, but no one does a good

[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice. You can't really do it.

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_09]: And then he did.

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_09]: And I was like, it's fucking good.

[00:02:21] [SPEAKER_09]: It's fucking good.

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_09]: And I don't have it.

[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry.

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_09]: Sandworms. I am.

[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_09]: I hate myself.

[00:02:26] [SPEAKER_09]: I get you.

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_09]: I can get like 5 percent of it.

[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_09]: It is. Look, let's just say it.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_09]: It is some of the magic of this character that there is some undefinable

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_09]: thing that you're like, it should just be untethered chaos.

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_09]: And yet there does feel like there's some cohesion to the way Keaton does it.

[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Can you try?

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_05]: And you just say the juice is loose.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_09]: The juice is no.

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_09]: No, it's terrible.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_09]: The juice.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_09]: It started bad.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_09]: And then it went up through the floor.

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_09]: She is deeper in this one.

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_09]: He is gravier.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_09]: I think he's aged.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_09]: Well, that's what I say.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_09]: I see a lot of people say like he has an age today.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_09]: And I think it is a lot of fun to see him return to this character.

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_09]: I do think you do sense like, oh, the entire timber of his voice

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_09]: has aged 36 years.

[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_09]: He looks like an old goth too.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_08]: Which is just a tough look.

[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_08]: What if he played it just like a spotlight?

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Like he didn't do Beetlejuice in this one.

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_08]: He was just like a boss in action.

[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_08]: And he was just like really, really like right.

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_05]: He's got to get to Cottonville Law.

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_08]: We all do the work.

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_08]: You know, like it just right.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_08]: You know, just like really, really quiet or and then leave

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Shriver was in it too.

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_08]: And he was like, this is good reporting.

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_06]: This is good reporting.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_06]: It's on the gentleman presses.

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_09]: That's my leave Shriver and there's someone in the movie.

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_09]: What?

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_09]: What do you say?

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_09]: You don't want to be roles.

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Spotlight.

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_09]: Today we're talking about Beetlejuice.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice.

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_09]: Let's just say this one week out from its theatrical release,

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_09]: not even this episode will come out about 10 days after it's come out.

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_08]: People used to yell at us for releasing episodes too quickly.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_08]: And now they were now they say too slowly.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_09]: Ten days out already just kind of a fascinating cultural object.

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_09]: There has been such a tsunami of hype and promotion and onslaught of media

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_09]: ramping up to this movie after like years of kind of stop and start

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_09]: speculation about this thing happening.

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_09]: You know, there was the original rush of trying to make a Beetlejuice

[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_09]: sequel for the 10 years after the first movie is going to go Hawaiian.

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_09]: And then there's been like 15 years of like, what if we did a Beetlejuice

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_09]: like a sequel and it finally exists and now like less than a week out.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm like, it is so strange this movie exists and is a humongous hit

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_09]: and is kind of inexplicable and all of us are already trying to remember things

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_08]: about it. You saw it last night.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_08]: I remember so well.

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_08]: I remember this film so well, but I bet you guys don't at all.

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_08]: That was my point.

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_08]: I wanted to see it a second time.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_08]: Don't forget that.

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_08]: Don't forget.

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_08]: And here's some other things you shouldn't forget.

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_08]: Should I not see movies on 9 11 on the 23rd anniversary?

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_09]: Show some respect.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_09]: Let me say this.

[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_09]: Another thing that people should never forget is that this is blind check with

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_09]: Griffin and David. I'm Griffin David.

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Who else is here?

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Marie.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Hi, Marie.

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_09]: Hi, Barty.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Marie Barty.

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Our associate producer.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_08]: Right.

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, whatever.

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, I can't remember what I'm supposed to call you.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_04]: You can call me.

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_05]: You can call me whatever you want as long as you call me David

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_05]: and keep inviting me on these episodes.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_05]: I will.

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_09]: What have I not been?

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_09]: No.

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_09]: Bottle-necking Marie in the pipeline, David.

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_09]: Ben Haas, the producer, Ben is here.

[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_09]: Hello.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetle vape juice, I believe was the name.

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_09]: That is given to you.

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_09]: Many years ago because this is a podcast about filmographies.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_09]: Directors who have massive success early on in their career say their second

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_09]: movie is Beetle Juice, a sort of bewildering hit that comes out of

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_09]: nowhere that people cannot really even figure out how to replicate for so

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_09]: long.

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_09]: Not just in literally taking this long to make a sequel, but also people

[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_09]: trying to make Beetle Juice-esque movies.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_09]: A film that really now just kind of stands out as like a miracle.

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_09]: I feel like more and more with each passenger.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_09]: How did this thing fucking come together?

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_05]: What are the Beetle Juice-esque movies like The Frightners?

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_09]: That's a good one.

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_09]: That's a good example.

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_09]: That's a good poll.

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_09]: That's a good poll.

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_09]: But I also think just to a degree, a lot of the rest of Tim Burton's career.

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, so Tim Burton trying to replicate.

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_09]: No, but okay.

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_09]: What about...

[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, look, my beloved Casper is definitely trying to throw some Beetle

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_09]: Juice in there.

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_09]: I think Scrooge is a little Beetlejuicey.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Scrooge came out after Beetlejuice.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_08]: I think I came out one year after Beetlejuice since 88.

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_08]: But I think you're right.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_05]: David Johansson in that movie is like very, very Beetlejuicey.

[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_09]: I think there's certainly a lot of performances with Beetlejuice.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_09]: A little monster.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_08]: Little monsters?

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Right where it's like, can we do spooky fur with like some family edge?

[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_08]: Drunk dead Fred?

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_08]: Yep.

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_08]: Absolutely.

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_08]: I also think the burbs, the Dante boom.

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm a good stretcher.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_09]: I almost think that's something slightly different.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_09]: I would say a great example is I think Bill and Ted's bogus journey is

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_09]: leaning into the Beetlejuicey elements of can this be really stylized?

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_09]: Didn't work for people.

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_09]: Really visual, really special effects heavy.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_08]: I think the Nicholas Rogue witches and the tone of Adam's family.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_08]: Yep.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_08]: That was Son of Feld.

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_08]: Those certainly are happening partly because of Beetlejuice.

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_08]: Totally.

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_09]: But I think it's just one of those movies.

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_09]: We talked about this to some extent with Ghostbusters on our Patreon,

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_09]: but another thing where people go, oh my God, special effects comedy.

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, this year we had two iconic family special effects

[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_08]: driven comedies that just like are like in sconce in the heart of every

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_08]: child of America frozen Empire.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_08]: No, I wasn't even going to make that joke.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_08]: I was going to say if and Harold in the purple cream.

[00:08:07] Yes.

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_08]: But sure, Ghostbusters frozen Empire too, which also has a the younger

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_08]: one falls in love with a ghost plot much like this one.

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_09]: His second film.

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_09]: Peewee was a bit of a guarantor Beetlejuice was Tim Burton's

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_09]: basically had three guarantors in a row that kept changing the

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_09]: type of checkbook he had access to.

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_08]: We talked about that.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_08]: On our Tim Burton Ministries, which you can listen to if you

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_08]: have the stamina to make it through 20 movies.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_08]: Maybe even 21.

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_09]: I try to block out maybe even a clean Jim Sturgis Kate

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_09]: Bosworth.

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_09]: That series of course ended.

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_09]: Wow.

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_09]: Grifting.

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_09]: Think.

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_09]: You.

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_09]: That mini series of course ended with Ben saying that

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_09]: he thought Tim Burton should be spaced.

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Which is send him to space as punishment.

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_07]: He doesn't get without a space suit.

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_07]: Live on anymore.

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_07]: It's this is his 21st film.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_09]: Okay.

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_09]: And he has not made a film since we covered him our mini

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_09]: series at the time was tied to the release of Dumbo right

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_09]: and ended with them.

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_09]: It has been a five year gap.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_09]: You of course did Wednesday in between but that is I think

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_09]: the longest stretch he's ever gone without making without

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_09]: a released film.

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_09]: That is correct.

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_09]: And it is a movie that has come with all of these narratives

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_09]: of like his burden back is just going to get her back hopes

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_09]: expectations.

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_09]: What did I say to you over text the other night which I

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_08]: kind of stand by.

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_08]: I was expressing some skeptic sismic is people being

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_08]: like his Burton back but maybe a little bit of that.

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_08]: What's the thing you said in town?

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_08]: I would not be surprised if his next movie is very good.

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_09]: What's his next movie?

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't know.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_09]: He doesn't have one.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Isn't he supposed to do the like 100 foot woman or whatever

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_09]: attack of the 50 foot.

[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_09]: There are things that certainly attach himself to right.

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_09]: Go in Flynn right which is exciting.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_09]: This does feel like a movie that is I equated it in our

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_09]: text thread with the dough boys to like seeing the kids

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_09]: in the hall reunite.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah you said that.

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_09]: We're like you're a little bit aware of like the passage

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_09]: of time.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah and the way it's like hung on the people you're

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_09]: watching on stage and also yourself and wondering why

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_09]: you want to see this thing be recaptured.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_09]: And it's not the disastrous cynical cash grab version

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_09]: of it in my eyes.

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_09]: But you're also just like maybe a little foolish of me

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_09]: to assume that everyone could just get totally back

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_09]: in the pocket that I've been said the movie ends

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_09]: Ben turns to me immediately throws up two big thumbs

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_09]: and a smile and goes fun.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_09]: And I was like I gotta agree with that.

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_09]: It was fun.

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_09]: If you start to pull this thing apart which we are now

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_09]: going to do for the sake of this podcast.

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_08]: We're going to do it a little bit.

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_08]: I am there's not a ton on the bone so I don't know how

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_08]: much pulling will do.

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_09]: I think the only way you can engage with this thing is

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_09]: just like oh look it's a bunch of people like kind of

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_09]: doing a comeback tour of this shit.

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_09]: All these actors going back playing together again

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_09]: these aesthetics.

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_08]: It's a weird movie when you when you think about

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_08]: really weird and not weird like Beetlejuice

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_08]: which is weird in an impressive way.

[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_08]: Just we're like why that though?

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Why did why?

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_08]: Well again wasn't bad but I think that's how the three

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_08]: of us feel about it.

[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_08]: Murray.

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I saw it in London.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_08]: Do you like Tim Burton or Beetlejuice?

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_08]: You haven't really you weren't with us when we did Tim Burton.

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I wasn't with you guys for the Tim Burton series.

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_05]: I love Beetlejuice.

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_09]: I love you love the man and his actions.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I do he's never done anything wrong and I believe

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_05]: in bioexorcism.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Let's just a fact.

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_05]: It's just science.

[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_05]: No, I think the Tim Burton run up through Sleepy Hollow

[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_05]: is unimpeachable.

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I would largely agree.

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Every movie that he made in those what like 12.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_09]: That's how I feel it's 80 it's 87 to 99.

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_05]: And I haven't really liked anything that he's done post

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Sleepy Hollow like I don't like you don't like any of

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_05]: you like big fish.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Big fish is I mean I haven't seen it in a while.

[00:12:18] Sweeney.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I swainy.

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah, we get it.

[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Go for it.

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm trying.

[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_06]: We're sweating.

[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Don't bat.

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_06]: It was a little slush of me.

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Boy was slainy.

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't when he started sort of let's go by this.

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_09]: See you don't like it when the fish are big.

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_09]: But what about the eyes?

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_09]: What about when the shadows are dark?

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I haven't seen big eyes.

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_09]: Murray.

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_05]: What about when you love the work?

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Of Larry Kersuski and Sky Alexander.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_09]: You might love big eyes.

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_05]: I might love big eyes.

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_09]: I could maybe use a few defenders on my island.

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_08]: About when the home for peculiar children is Miss Peregrine's.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_08]: So I just had to do that.

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_09]: I think that you did that and not when Miss Peregrine's

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_09]: home is peculiar.

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_09]: I haven't seen that one.

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_08]: Stupidest way.

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_05]: But I had I have an ex boyfriend.

[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_08]: What about when the weenie is Franken?

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_08]: Sorry, go ahead.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_08]: An ex boyfriend.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_05]: An ex boyfriend who's like kind of a crazy person.

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Who his favorite one of his favorite movies was Guy Ritchie's revolver,

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_05]: which is a terrible movie that makes no sense.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_05]: And he also was really into Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children.

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_08]: Is this the guy you were dating when I first knew you?

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_08]: No, this is different guy.

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_05]: This is the guy who I used to date who now has a movie coming out.

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that guy.

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_05]: That guy.

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_09]: Do we keep this and do we keep it in?

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't give a shit.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Fuck that guy.

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_05]: But fuck that guy.

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_05]: But anyway, his name is Scott Phillips.

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_08]: It's called Joker Folly.

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_08]: It's a most twisted movie in the world.

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_08]: Rie Barty did not to my knowledge, state Todd Phillips.

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_05]: That would have been crazy though.

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_08]: You'd have some stories.

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I'd have stories.

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, but no, I but he was always like that movie is amazing.

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Miss Peregrine's home for your children.

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm like, okay, maybe I don't know.

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_05]: But then that was like he this is like kind of when we were in the new car

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_05]: smell phase of the relationship where I just thought everything he said was

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_05]: like really interesting and he had really cool opinions on movies.

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_05]: And that totally went away when he made me watch

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Richie's revolver and I was like, I don't trust a single thing.

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't remember do Guy Ritchie one day and it's partly possibly

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_08]: and it's partly cause he made movies like revolver, but revolver is not good.

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_08]: No, you're like, oh crazy that he made this.

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_08]: I I've heard defenses of it.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_09]: It's not it's not good.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_09]: I uh, it's a you know now some distance.

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't remember how our rankings.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_09]: So we can't do Guy Ritchie.

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_08]: Thank you because it's if he just would stop making two movies a year,

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_08]: we could do him, but now it's just impossible.

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_08]: Correct.

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_08]: We would have to make a jam of like five movies anyway.

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_09]: Go on.

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_09]: Sorry.

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_09]: Miss Peregrine with some distance now feels like the absolute

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_09]: nadir of his career, which isn't to say it's his worst movie,

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_09]: but it is the most nothing thing.

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_09]: It's kind of irrelevant feeling like true like Alice in Wonderland

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_09]: makes me angry.

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_09]: Planet of the Apes makes me angry.

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_09]: You know, yeah, but no, no, but I'm like, what are we even

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_09]: fucking?

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_09]: Why did anyone bother getting out of bed for this?

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_08]: You think so you think Miss Peregrine is more than a dear

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_08]: than dark shadows.

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_08]: Those are the two where it feels like it's just but I think

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_08]: it is Miss Peregrine.

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_08]: I like that more than you do.

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_09]: Peregrine.

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_09]: I think got nothing going on.

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_08]: No, it's not a quality thing.

[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm just talking about like Miss Peregrine is him being

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_08]: like, I don't know what should I do?

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_08]: There's some book about your children.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I guess I should do that.

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_05]: So can I ask a follow up question to the Miss Peregrine

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_05]: thing?

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Because I was just in London, which I'm going to keep talking

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_05]: about because I need to share my entire theatrical experience.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_09]: And AJ may be throwing some big Ben times.

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Thank you.

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Did you go to Fleet Street?

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Hey, there's a demon bomber.

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Snip, snip.

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_06]: You all would say that.

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_06]: How about a shy?

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_06]: A shy.

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_06]: My boy.

[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to murder Sasha Baron Cohen.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_06]: I hear the penis he shows in his movies is prosthetic.

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Has that been on X recently?

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't look anymore.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_06]: I feel like that's a rumor we heard.

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_00]: V-A-T-X.

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, fair enough. Fair enough. Fair enough. Fair enough. Fair enough.

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, wait. No.

[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_02]: The man's got a rubber pecker.

[00:16:23] I'm thinking about it.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_05]: London.

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_05]: I was on plane.

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_05]: What was I going to watch?

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I decided to watch the first three Harry Potter movies.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh yeah, we were talking about this.

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_08]: We were talking about this.

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Why did you decide?

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_08]: I guess when you're flying from London, you got hours to fill.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_05]: On the way to London, I watched Molly Manning Walker's How to Have Sex

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_05]: and Yorgos Lanthimos's Kindness.

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, great.

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_08]: You were really raring to go.

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_05]: So on the way back, I was like, you know what?

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to turn my brain off totally and I'm just going to watch Harry Potter.

[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Do you like either of those movies?

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_05]: I liked parts of Kindness.

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, me too. Me too.

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_05]: And for How to Have Sex, I liked it up until the end.

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_09]: But while you were in the fair city of London,

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_09]: Sweeneytown, as I like to call it,

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_09]: you go to a cinema.

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I went to a cinema.

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_09]: I thought you were spelled the other way.

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, right with the E at the end.

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_09]: Right and purchased the ticket to the Yieldtree.

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_05]: No, I wanted to ask my initial question,

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_05]: which is why I brought up the Harry Potter thing.

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_05]: I was reading about initial reviews of Harry Potter

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_05]: and the Sorcerer's Stone movie.

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_05]: And there was some critic.

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Sorcerer's Stone.

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I forget who in a negative review was like Tim Burton

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_05]: should have directed this movie.

[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_05]: And then that had me wondering,

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_05]: is that what Miss Peregrine is like?

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Is it his Harry Potter?

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_09]: Possibly, but also in a way where it feels like him being like,

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_09]: I guess I should have done something like this.

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_09]: The one he should have done was fucking Lemony Snicket.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_09]: But at that time, it felt like he went,

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_09]: this feels a little too obvious.

[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_09]: It's too hack. I'm doing other stuff.

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_09]: Right, versus Peregrine is him now,

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_09]: like 10 years later being like,

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_09]: I guess I'll do one of these.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know that he would have made an amazing Harry Potter.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_08]: The whole question with Harry Potter is,

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_08]: would there ever have been like an interesting version

[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_08]: of the first movie?

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_08]: Because it felt like the whole enterprise was more like,

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_08]: no, no, no.

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_08]: Like we can't be interesting.

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_08]: We have to just be faithful.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_09]: And that sense of does feel like Columbus was the perfect choice.

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_05]: In rewatching those movies, I do think they work.

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_05]: They work.

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_09]: They're watchable.

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_09]: He said a template that was sturdy enough.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_09]: He did.

[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_09]: He sustained 15 years.

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_05]: But I think the template really is the Cuarón template.

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Like what all of the morons after Ask-a-Ban is...

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_09]: The first guy to elevate it.

[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_09]: But yeah, but Columbus cast it correctly.

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_09]: What's fascinating about...

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_09]: Built the sets correctly.

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_08]: Those movies is though as much as I...

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_08]: I've met Chris Columbus.

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_08]: He's a wonderful guy.

[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_08]: He seems like a true mensch.

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_08]: The kids talk about him so, so fondly

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_08]: and said he really protected us for those movies,

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_08]: which is sort of crucial to them keeping doing the movies.

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_08]: All good foundation shit.

[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_08]: The leap in just like voice from Chamber of Secrets

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_08]: to Ask-a-Ban is so...

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_05]: It's crazy.

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Watching them back to back is fucking wild.

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Given that these are insane corporate giant

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_08]: like money making ventures,

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_08]: like controlled by an author, controlled by a studio.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_08]: Right.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_08]: To watch Cuarón come in you're like,

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_08]: oh shit right, that's the directors too.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Right, that's their job.

[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_09]: But that was this whole thing,

[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_09]: the Harry Potter thing was like fuck,

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_09]: Spielberg wants to do it.

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_09]: J.K. Rowling wants Terry Gilliam.

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_09]: The public is clamoring for Tim Burton

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_09]: and you're like none of these would have worked out.

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_09]: Shaman came up a lot.

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I love the idea of Shaman doing it.

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_09]: Maybe he could have knelt it.

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_09]: Here's the point.

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_09]: Nah, you needed it whatever it doesn't matter.

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_09]: Doesn't matter.

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_09]: Columbus said was the right guy for that specific job.

[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_09]: Which was the beginning of almost these things

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_09]: being less about who could make the best movie right now

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_09]: and who could set the best template for a franchise.

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_09]: All of this to say,

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_09]: this narrative on Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice,

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_09]: for a while that we've all just been kind of like

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_09]: scratching the armrest and going like,

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't want to get too excited was,

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_09]: okay, he's doing Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_09]: Ooh, this could go really right or really, really badly.

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_09]: Right?

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_09]: The worst version of this is just like claw your eyes out.

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_09]: Nightmare.

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_09]: You did not like this movie, Marie?

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_09]: I did not.

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_09]: But I don't think you felt that level of like,

[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_05]: I was pretty...

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_05]: No, I wasn't enraged.

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_05]: There are parts of the movie that I enjoyed,

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_05]: but I do think I let months of Burton's back baby

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_05]: enthusiasm get to me because we were talking like,

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Griffin, you were getting intel from people like months ago

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_05]: about the Willem Dafoe character and the emphasis on practical sex.

[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_05]: This was the big thing.

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'm like, oh my God, this sounds so fucking good.

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_09]: He doesn't make a movie for five years.

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_09]: He does Wednesday, which is huge.

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_09]: I have not watched a millisecond of Wednesday.

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_09]: I realized it is maybe the only publicly consumable thing

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_09]: that Tim Burton's ever directed that I have not seen

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_09]: because my obsessiveness with him was so wild for years

[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_09]: that I'm like, I don't think there's a commercial

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_09]: or a music video or a viewable short film he did

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_09]: that I have not seen until Wednesday,

[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_09]: which I didn't watch and is his most culturally relevant thing

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_09]: he had done in 10 years.

[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_08]: Can I just tell you some news?

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_08]: Please.

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_08]: That came over the wires.

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh boy.

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Clint Eastwood's Juror Number Two will be closing

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_08]: the AFI Fest on October 27th

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_08]: and then opening in theaters on November 1st.

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_08]: It's just here.

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_08]: Great. Guess what? That's winning Best Picture.

[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't think so.

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_08]: It's winning Best Juror.

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_08]: That could happen.

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_08]: Or a Boster.

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_09]: New Oscar.

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I think he might be a Bad Juror.

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_08]: It's a matter of perception.

[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, okay.

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, a very good juror in that he knows the case

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_09]: intimately.

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_08]: This is just good so he can pivot to the

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_08]: Biden Getting Railroaded movie,

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_08]: which I am now convinced needs to be Clint Eastwood's

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_08]: swan song.

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh.

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_08]: Is about Biden Getting Railroaded.

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh my God.

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_04]: It's getting too big.

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_08]: Don't you think so?

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_08]: I know.

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm overwhelmed thinking about it.

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_08]: Clint's like, I'm playing Biden.

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_08]: Okay.

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_09]: That's really strong.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_09]: Obviously.

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_09]: That was my one contingency.

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_08]: I only want to see if he's playing Biden.

[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_08]: We're going to do the whole debate in the movie.

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_08]: That's just in the movie.

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_08]: The whole Trump debate is in there.

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_09]: Everyone else in the cast is a non-actor.

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_09]: He cast the guys from the train to play

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_09]: the rest of Biden's cabinet.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_08]: Whoever plays Kamala is going to play her like

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_08]: a fucking in Richard Joule.

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_08]: What's her name?

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, Olivia Wilde.

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Olivia Wilde.

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm playing that character.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_08]: It'll be just like playing her like so evil.

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_08]: Yes.

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_08]: That'll be Clint Stake.

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, I got railroaded.

[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, he was the president.

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_08]: You know, that'll be it.

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_08]: Anyway.

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_08]: She was out partying all night.

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetle, goose, beetle, goose.

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetle, goose, beetle, goose.

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_09]: There had been this thing.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_09]: You and I both like Dumbo more than a lot of people.

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_09]: We felt there was some juice in it,

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_09]: some stuff in it.

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_09]: Certainly not a movie that wholly works.

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_09]: It's got a lot of the Disney remake problem

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_09]: that we've been so exhausted by,

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_09]: but it felt like one of the only ones,

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_09]: if not the only one that was actually trying

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_09]: to do something different.

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_09]: And what was interesting about it,

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_09]: I think that you and I both felt

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_09]: is textually you feel in the movie

[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_09]: Burton starting to fight against

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_09]: am I a caged animal?

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_09]: Am I a freak that's been commodified?

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_09]: Michael Keaton playing this weirdo version

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_09]: of Walt Disney.

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_09]: Bob Iger.

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_08]: That was our reading into it.

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_08]: Keaton saying he didn't think he was locked in

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_08]: in Dumbo and I'm like, bro.

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_08]: I think he's very locked in in that movie.

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_08]: You're good in that movie.

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_09]: Let me put it this way.

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_09]: Even if he's not happy with the choices he made,

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't think he's like sleepwalking through that.

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_09]: No, he's doing stuff.

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_09]: He's doing a lot.

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_09]: That movie feels like it's doing a lot,

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_09]: is a movie that is fighting with itself,

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_09]: which maybe makes it less functional,

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_09]: but it makes it more interesting

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_09]: than a lot of the Burton movies leading up to it.

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_09]: And it left us in a place of like,

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_09]: is the guy going to reconnect?

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_09]: And then the last five years,

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_09]: the Wednesday thing I sort of just don't engage with,

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_09]: I felt really bummed out when they announced it.

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_09]: I was like, this is the most predictable thing he could do.

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_09]: He's doing fucking Netflix now.

[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_09]: This sucks.

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_09]: But then it gets him this boost of relevancy.

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_09]: Keaton is 10 years into his comeback.

[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_09]: Winona's on the biggest fucking TV show in the world.

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_09]: Katharine O'Hara wins an Emmy.

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_09]: Like suddenly you're like everyone's kind of back.

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_08]: There are a few people who are unbacked though.

[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_08]: Mr. Alec Baldwin, Mr. Jeffrey Jones, I would say.

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_08]: Those guys are not back.

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_08]: You have this core three actors.

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_08]: Yes.

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_09]: No, it's interesting.

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_09]: The recent hit.

[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_08]: The rebound that various folks had had

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_08]: that had probably helped convince Warner Brothers.

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_08]: Like yeah, let's do it.

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_09]: Seth Gramsmith and Katzenberg in the early 2010s,

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_09]: pre-Birdman went to Warner Brothers

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_09]: and were like, has anyone tried to take a new stab at Beetlejuice?

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_09]: Started developing it then.

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_09]: So there've been scripts

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_09]: even before Keaton's value went back up.

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_09]: And this became a higher priority thing.

[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_09]: And suddenly it's like, this is fucking happening.

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_09]: We're all sort of like, is this a good idea?

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_09]: Is this a bad idea?

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_09]: And then everything that's coming out is you're saying Marie

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_09]: is like Burton's doing interviews where he's like,

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm never working for Disney ever again.

[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_09]: Dumbo was me having an essential crisis.

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_09]: I realized I need to reset myself

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_09]: and get back in touch with my initial instincts.

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_09]: And then you're hearing Keaton agrees to Beetlejuice,

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_09]: on the terms of it's practical.

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_09]: And you're like, fuck.

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_09]: I agree with you that it's-

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_09]: And everyone's saying like Tim's like a live onset.

[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_09]: He seems excited.

[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_09]: There's joy.

[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_05]: The vibes felt good.

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_05]: The vibes felt really good.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_05]: It opened in Venice? Good sign.

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_09]: Good.

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_09]: Sure. Some confidence there.

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_09]: And I was hearing, you know,

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_09]: the range of things that I was hearing,

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_09]: there are some people I had heard be like,

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_09]: I think it's a lot of fun.

[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_09]: I think it works.

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_09]: I had heard early from certain people,

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_09]: like the script is a disaster,

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_09]: but Keaton's really locked in

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_09]: and Burton's having fun for the first time in years.

[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_09]: And that's been my baseline

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_09]: of just like at the very least I want to feel that watching it.

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_09]: I think that's true.

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_09]: I think that's true.

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_09]: You cannot get around how disastrous the script is.

[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_09]: And what's frustrating about it

[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_09]: is I was ready for it to be bad

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_09]: in a sort of like it's undercooked way.

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_09]: It's so much more frustrating to be like,

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_09]: this is so overly busy and so overly thought

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_09]: and you could take like five things out of it

[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_09]: and the movie works 20% better.

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_09]: Like the fact that it's an addition by subtraction solve

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_09]: makes it so much more frustrating

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_09]: than them not identifying what it should have been to me.

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_05]: When was the last time you guys watched Beatlejuice 1988?

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_09]: Very recently. You also watched it very recently.

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_09]: Your husband just saw it for the first time.

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I watched it like the day before I saw

[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_05]: the thing that really stood out to me on this rewatch

[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_05]: is how simple.

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_09]: This is what's simple.

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_09]: It is simple. Although it throws a lot at you.

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_09]: Well, it's what makes this so hard to define

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_09]: and I want to say I've had a big breakthrough

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_09]: in the last week of I think

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_09]: I finally have sort of solved what happened to Tim Burton,

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_09]: which we at the end of that mini series, I was like,

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_09]: I hope I gained some clarity from watching all these 20 movies

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_09]: of like what was it that went wrong?

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_09]: And I think I finally fucking figured it out watching this

[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_09]: even though this movie feels to me the most promising sign

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_09]: in a long time.

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_09]: You can't breathe in space.

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_09]: That's the issue.

[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_09]: And you've been trying so hard to space him for years.

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_09]: There is the character in the waiting room

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_09]: where you see all these incredible like, you know,

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_09]: the Eddard Dory cartoon, how did this person die?

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_09]: There is the character on if you notice Ben

[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_09]: that is an astronaut whose face has clearly been sucked

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_09]: through his broken visor.

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. Oh yeah.

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_09]: That feels like almost Burton being like,

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_09]: I see you fucking Hosley.

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_09]: You tried to do this to me.

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm here making fucking deals.

[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_05]: I think we should add that to our list of Ben

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_05]: Hosley Easter eggs and media.

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh sure.

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_05]: That's a direct reference to Ben.

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_05]: All right.

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_05]: So what is wrong with Tim Burton?

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_09]: This is what I think it is.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_09]: So we lose track of how simple the core premise

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_09]: of Beetlejuice actually is because the movie is so chaotic.

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_09]: He's throwing so much at us that it's part of what everyone

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_09]: gets wrong trying to replicate something like it.

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_09]: But there is a really good fucking one line high

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_09]: concept comedy premise to Beetlejuice,

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_09]: which is ghosts are trying to scare humans out of their home.

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_09]: And like we lose track of that.

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_09]: People forget.

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_09]: I think genuinely forget that the Maitlands are the main

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_09]: characters of that movie.

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_09]: I guess so.

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_09]: They are the spine of the story.

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_09]: You know, but all this color comes from all these

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_09]: wild dimensions.

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_09]: This is the core problem.

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_09]: And I also did a watch through of all Michael Keaton's

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_09]: movies recently for the big picture and was trying to

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_09]: similarly analyze what was the issue when Michael

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_09]: Keaton kind of lost the thread on his career.

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_08]: It's a really funny episode because you're doing a Mount

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_08]: Rushmore and you guys talk about Keaton for a while

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_08]: and what makes him interesting.

[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_08]: And then you're like, maybe it's like Batman Beetlejuice

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_08]: spotlight or fucking guarantee.

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_08]: Let's just argue over the fourth.

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, it's basically.

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_09]: It's almost yes.

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_05]: What I didn't finish is that Mr.

[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_09]: Mom made the case for Mr.

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_09]: Mom as being totemically the most important in the fourth

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_09]: slot.

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't think it's anywhere close to his fourth mode.

[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_08]: You were kind of between Mr.

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Mom and Night Shift and you guys were all kind of like,

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_08]: we don't want to put Birdman on it.

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_08]: So we're not going to.

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_08]: Right.

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Most people would do that.

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_08]: Most people would.

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_08]: I just put spotlight on it and be like, that includes Birdman.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm like, that's the best representation of elder statesman

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_09]: Keaton, dramatic actor.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_09]: But talking about Keaton comparing him to a lot of

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_09]: comedy stars and he tried to veer away from this.

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_09]: The thing that befalls a lot of comedy stars is

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_09]: they're funny.

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_09]: Funny is the thing you kind of can't put a price on.

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_09]: It's like unquantifiable.

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_09]: Someone hits or they don't.

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_09]: They get this involuntary reaction from the audience.

[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_09]: You watch shit like Beverly Hills cop and Eddie Murphy just

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_09]: comes in and he's just like got so much energy.

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_09]: He's such a tornado.

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_09]: He's giving it his all.

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_09]: He's got so much to prove and you're like, holy fucking shit.

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_09]: And then that escalates Eddie Murphy to being a 20 million

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_09]: dollar movie star.

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_09]: And you get to the point where 20 years later studios are

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_09]: like, well, if we have a script that's good,

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_09]: why do we offer it to Eddie Murphy?

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_09]: The script is funny.

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_09]: We don't need to pay him $20 million to make it funny.

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_09]: You pay Eddie Murphy $20 million to make something that feels

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_09]: like it should be funny, but isn't funny, funny.

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_09]: Where they go, if we put Eddie Murphy in a haunted house,

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_09]: that would be funny, right?

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_09]: A movie that basically attempts to be Beetlejuice.

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_09]: The haunted mansion.

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_09]: That Disney did twice of like, if you put funny people

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_09]: in the house, it'll be funny, right?

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_09]: Without having a funny script.

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_09]: And Tim Burton is one of the few examples of a director

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_09]: whose style is so unique and singular that it's not just

[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_09]: a brand into itself, but the idea of,

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_09]: but imagine if he did the Tim Burton version of this.

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_09]: Was so compelling to studios that for this guy who has

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_09]: always admitted, I really don't know how to judge whether a

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_09]: script works or not.

[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_09]: I know what ideas sometimes excite me, but I don't think

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_09]: I have a sense for like story structure, emotional arcs,

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_09]: any of this.

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_09]: When he's starting out in his career and he's somewhat

[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_09]: unproven and he's pushing the boundaries and making movies

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_09]: that cross genre lines and don't really have a precedent.

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_09]: Studios are really kind of holding the feet to the flame

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_09]: of trying to make the script work before they let him get to set.

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_09]: These scripts go through rigorous years of development

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_09]: before they even land on his doorstep.

[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_09]: And then I think it gets to a point where they're like,

[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_09]: if Tim Burton did Alice in Wonderland, would that be

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_09]: interesting?

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_09]: Just fucking do it buddy.

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_09]: And they just assume like much like if we pay Eddie Murphy

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_09]: $20 million, he'll show up and he'll say some funny shit.

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, I mean the other weird thing of course is like all

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_08]: those later Burton movies have all star writers on them.

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_08]: Yes.

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_08]: But you know that probably just belies like lots of passes

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_08]: by lots of people.

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_08]: Right.

[00:32:15] [SPEAKER_09]: And what's insane to me about the problems with this

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_09]: script is they don't feel like the effect of too much

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_09]: meddling by a studio.

[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_09]: It feels like them being like, we'll probably figure it

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_09]: out on set.

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_09]: We gave him a bunch of ideas and he'll figure some shit

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_09]: out.

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_09]: And the best stuff in the movie is the stuff where it just

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_09]: feels like he's just kind of fucking going off.

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Look, Beedlejuice as you say has a core premise that is

[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_08]: it's not a long movie.

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_08]: It's a 90 minute movie has a core premise that is this

[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_08]: cute and makes sense.

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_08]: These these ghosts want to get people out of their

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_08]: house that makes the villains Catherine O'Hara and

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Jeffrey Jones and basically.

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_08]: Right.

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_08]: And then Beedlejuice himself is this wild card who

[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_08]: kind of shifts between sides.

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_09]: And it's the classic version of you have a greater

[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_09]: villain that actually causes the heroes to unite

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_09]: with the presumed villains.

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_08]: But it also has Harry Belafonte songs.

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_08]: Right.

[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_08]: It has the sandworm and it has like motion capture

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_08]: that comes out of nowhere.

[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_08]: Stop motion.

[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean stop motion.

[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_08]: No, it has some motion capture actually.

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't think so.

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_08]: No, it does.

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_08]: That's true.

[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Those sandworms are played by actors.

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_08]: Carrie All was right.

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_08]: That stuff that when you see the movie the first time

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_08]: you're like who thought to do that?

[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_08]: Like, you know, like what the Calypso music like

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_08]: what about this Connecticut ghost movie suggests

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_08]: Calypso music and yet there it is right.

[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_09]: You know, like the premise of it is simple enough

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_09]: that he got to color in all these margins with

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_09]: these ideas that you're just like where did

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_09]: that come from or who else would think to

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_09]: execute that in that way.

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_09]: And it's what used to work for him is giving

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_09]: him a sturdy architecture with also a lot of

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_09]: space for him to fill in.

[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_09]: But he needs good bones, right?

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_08]: It's just weird with Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice that they

[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_08]: took so long to figure out a sequel because I'm like

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_08]: you don't need to do much.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_08]: No.

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Beetlejuice in Hawaii sounds the best to me.

[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_09]: The other premise that they kicked around for a while

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_09]: was Beetlejuice goes Hawaiian was one

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_09]: of two scripts that really kicked around for about a decade.

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_09]: Daniel Waters of Heathers and stuff worked on that one.

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_09]: That was at Burton's suggestion.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_09]: He was like, you know what feels like a funny area

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_09]: for a sequel is smashing the sort of gothic

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_09]: German expressionism of Beetlejuice with a like

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_09]: 50s, 60s beach movie.

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_09]: And that's like a Lydia movie that was sort

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_09]: of running with Lydia's popped.

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_09]: The cartoon shows running people like Lydia and

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice as a team.

[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_09]: Maybe this movie is more than working together.

[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_09]: The other script was interesting because it's

[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_09]: the other way they could have gone about this,

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_09]: which was called Beetlejuice in Love.

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_09]: And I believe one of the original writers of the

[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_09]: first movie was working on this.

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_09]: And that was, hey, here's a movie where Beetlejuice

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_09]: attaches himself to new humans.

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_09]: You have an entirely new cast and Beetlejuice

[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_09]: exists in a similar role.

[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_09]: It was like a dead guy comes down to the underworld

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_09]: hires Beetlejuice as his bioexorcist

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_09]: to try to, I think someone was romancing

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_09]: his ex-girlfriend.

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_09]: The whole point of the movie was Beetlejuice

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_09]: becomes in love with this dead guy's living wife

[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_09]: and becomes obsessed with going up to Earth

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_09]: to try to get her a similar kind of like

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice has his machinations.

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_09]: People unwittingly involve him in something

[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_09]: don't realize he's going to turn.

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Both of these premises you just explained

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_05]: really succinctly within one or two senses.

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_09]: You cannot do that with this movie.

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_09]: The only way to describe the premise of this movie

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_09]: is explaining what happened in the first Beetlejuice.

[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_09]: All of it is sort of iterating on,

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_09]: because even just saying, it's a movie about

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_09]: three generations of women who have to

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_09]: kind of come back and reckon with their

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_09]: relationship to this guy.

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_05]: But also not really?

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_09]: This movie is not about anything.

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_09]: This movie is not about anything.

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_09]: It's not about anything.

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_09]: I think there are a couple things that could

[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_08]: have been about the multi,

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_08]: the mother stepmother mother daughter relationship

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_08]: if it's about anything at all.

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_08]: But really it's just about like everyone you

[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_08]: remember from Beetlejuice except the people who got

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_08]: canceled are back.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_08]: The kids in the hall are coming back on stage

[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_08]: and they're going to do some of the sketches

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_08]: you know.

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_09]: And a couple new things that feel like the

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_09]: best invocation of the style you remember.

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_08]: In their defense obviously it would be hard to

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_08]: have Baldwin and Davis be in the movie in any

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_08]: sense, cancellation or not just because

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_08]: they're older and they're not supposed to age.

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_08]: The logic, yeah I agree and I think their

[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_08]: narrative is pretty much resolved by the end

[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_08]: of the first one.

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_08]: It's just tough because Beetlejuice literally

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_08]: ends with like we're all going to live together

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_08]: and it'll be happy.

[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_08]: And Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice has the one line

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_08]: with like yeah we uh.

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_02]: We figured out a loophole and that's it.

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_08]: Don't worry about it.

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_08]: Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice has a lot of

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_08]: don't worry about it and I like the

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_08]: anarchic spirit of the character Beetlejuice.

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_08]: And you like you co-sign all of his actions

[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_08]: and his political beliefs?

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_08]: He papers over a lot of don't worry

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_08]: about it right where it's like it's Beetlejuice

[00:37:06] [SPEAKER_08]: who cares he does magic shit.

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_08]: It doesn't matter but there is a lot of

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_08]: don't worry about it in this world.

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_08]: Well and here's the.

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_09]: Why can't they see the dad?

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_09]: Why can't they see the dad?

[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_09]: Why can't she see the dad makes no sense.

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_08]: They never, she's like I'm so mad that

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_08]: you can't see her father and you're

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_08]: like oh there's like an emotional hook to that.

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_08]: That's an interesting little kind of curse

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_08]: of like oh she can see the dad but she

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_08]: can't see you know this person and

[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_08]: then at the end like at the end he's

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_08]: like I'm sorry you can't see me and

[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm like okay so it's just kind of like

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_09]: the first tough.

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice has the right amount of

[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_09]: rules versus we're not explaining this

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_09]: and we're not making you think about the

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_09]: fact that we're not explaining this.

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_08]: It has the brilliant joke of all the

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_08]: rules are in this book and it's like

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_08]: what is this book?

[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_08]: It's like oh no one wants to read it

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_08]: it's so boring.

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_05]: But then you also have like Otho saying

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_05]: like oh there's a joke that people

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_05]: who commit suicide end up working

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_05]: as civil servants in the afterlife.

[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a great joke.

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Which is a joke but you also like

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_05]: kind of be like okay yeah that works.

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_09]: There's this aspect of like can Lydia

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_09]: only see ghosts that are roaming

[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_09]: around in our world like the

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_09]: Maitlands versus the ghosts that are

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_09]: stuck in the afterworld offices.

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_09]: But if so why did he end up there?

[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_09]: Why did he end up there?

[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't know.

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_09]: Other than him having a visually

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_09]: humorous death?

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't know.

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_09]: I do not know.

[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't say.

[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_08]: There's I don't.

[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_08]: A lot of that.

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know how much I care but

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_08]: it does make the movie feel a

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_08]: little...

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_08]: It feels sloppy.

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_08]: It feels so sloppy.

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_08]: It feels so sloppy.

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Wait a second are you just

[00:38:32] [SPEAKER_08]: saying you detect a cinema sin or

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_08]: two in this movie?

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_08]: They're not dishing this for me at

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_08]: the end of the movie.

[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_08]: What if I say it's not realistic?

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_07]: It's kind of my new thing where

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm just pointing out when movies

[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_07]: are unrealistic.

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_08]: Like there's ghosts in this movie

[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_08]: that's not realistic.

[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_08]: That's not realistic.

[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_08]: That's just not something that

[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_08]: really happens.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_09]: Where's the proof?

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice doesn't appear

[00:38:54] [SPEAKER_09]: when you say his name three times.

[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_09]: We've said his name like 80 times

[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_09]: this episode.

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Can I say what I think is the

[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_05]: most unrealistic aspect of the

[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_05]: movie?

[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_09]: Please.

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_05]: And this is something that's

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_05]: really bothered me.

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_05]: The...

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, the teenage

[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_05]: dead kid.

[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, look at the spoilers.

[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Jeremy?

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Sure.

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_08]: His name is Jeremy.

[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_08]: He's played by an actor named

[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_08]: Arthur Conti who just looks like...

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_05]: grandson of Tom Conti

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_05]: who played Einstein in

[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Optimize.

[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_08]: I've talked about a lot on this

[00:39:20] [SPEAKER_08]: show.

[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_05]: But he kills his parents

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_05]: which is a thing I knew...

[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_08]: He like murdered them

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_08]: horribly.

[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_08]: And then accidentally died.

[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_05]: How did the mom die?

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_08]: He put a...

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_08]: You put a kitchen utensil in

[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_08]: the head?

[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, like a blender in her face.

[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_05]: That was a blender?

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_05]: It looked like an egg beater.

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, egg beater stick.

[00:39:38] [SPEAKER_05]: How do you kill someone with

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_05]: an egg beater?

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't know.

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_09]: It's probably horrible.

[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it takes a lot of effort

[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_09]: and persistence and I think

[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_09]: focus.

[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_09]: You don't do it in one shot.

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_08]: And then...

[00:39:47] [SPEAKER_08]: You got to commit to the idea.

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_08]: He died falling out of the

[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_08]: tree house when the cops came

[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_08]: to get him or whatever.

[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_08]: Then he broke his neck.

[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_08]: Okay.

[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_05]: No, the egg beater thing

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_05]: just really upset me.

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, you just didn't like that?

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_05]: No, because I'm like...

[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_08]: Can I just say this?

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_08]: Please.

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_08]: I wanted him to not be a ghost

[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_08]: and for instead,

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_08]: the fact that you don't see his

[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_08]: parents' faces at the start

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_08]: and one's just in the kitchen

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_08]: and one's just...

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_08]: To be just kind of like an

[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_08]: interesting kind of timburtony

[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_08]: commentary on like,

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_08]: ah, teen life is such a shit.

[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_08]: It was such a specific choice

[00:40:16] [SPEAKER_08]: that when that happened

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_08]: I had the exact same...

[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_08]: I had the 80% like,

[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_08]: okay, they're probably...

[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_08]: No, I knew he was a fucking

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_05]: ghost immediately because

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_05]: I watched season one

[00:40:24] [SPEAKER_05]: of American Horror Story

[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_05]: with the exact same plotline.

[00:40:26] [SPEAKER_08]: Poor Tassia Farmiga.

[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_05]: I know, isn't it so sad?

[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_08]: She can't leave the house.

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Ugh.

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_08]: And she's stuck with fucking

[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Dylan McDermott.

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Spoilers, I haven't watched it yet.

[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Okay, well, sorry.

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_04]: But also...

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_09]: This is my new bit,

[00:40:37] [SPEAKER_09]: getting angry at spoilers for shows

[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_09]: I didn't sign up for 10 years ago.

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_09]: In that show.

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_09]: That's the film about to start.

[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_05]: There's at least like the...

[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_09]: Spoilers, don't tell me

[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_09]: there are other twists.

[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_08]: I think there are, I can't remember.

[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm gonna be looking for them.

[00:40:48] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a guy in a gimp suit.

[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[00:40:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Spoilers!

[00:40:50] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, that was like

[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_08]: in the advertising.

[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, but you don't know

[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_05]: who's in the gimp suit.

[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_08]: I hadn't been watching the

[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_08]: advertiser, I've been

[00:40:56] [SPEAKER_08]: saving it.

[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_08]: You're just on the subway

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_08]: platform going,

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_08]: Spoilers!

[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_08]: Spoilers!

[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_08]: There's like posters there.

[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_08]: Yes.

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_05]: But like in that show,

[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_05]: It's what's Evan Peters

[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_05]: or what is that his name?

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, the whole funny thing

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_08]: about American Horror Story

[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_08]: is like just confusing those guys.

[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_05]: He's a school shooter.

[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh sure.

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_05]: And he, the teen girl who

[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_05]: just moved in the house

[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_05]: falls in love with him.

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_09]: Okay.

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Not realizing that he's a ghost.

[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_05]: And that he's a school shooter.

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, so it's really similar to this.

[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh-huh.

[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_09]: Sure.

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_09]: Then she finds out

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_09]: that he's a ghost.

[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_09]: American Horror.

[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_09]: But it also was like...

[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_09]: I was about to watch that.

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_09]: And I feel like they only called it

[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_09]: that retroactively.

[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_09]: They only called it that retroactively.

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_05]: No, it wasn't ghost house,

[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_05]: it was murder house.

[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_09]: Murder house, sorry.

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_05]: Spoilers!

[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_05]: But like the same like the grunge

[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_05]: outfit like stuck in the

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_05]: early 90s, the guys.

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_05]: It's the exact same thing.

[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_09]: I didn't watch American Horror

[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_09]: Story, so this was kind of

[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_09]: fresh for me.

[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_09]: But I did sort of like this.

[00:41:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh my God, I hated it.

[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_09]: I thought this worked for me

[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_08]: better than certain aspects of

[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_08]: the movie.

[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_08]: I didn't just like it.

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_08]: But it just felt like one of many

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_08]: plots.

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Yes.

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_08]: And I kind of wanted them to pick

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_08]: a reason for things to be

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_08]: happening rather than have kind

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_08]: of like four half reasons.

[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, here's my big thing.

[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_09]: I like Monika Bellucci.

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_09]: Monika Bellucci.

[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_09]: I like Willem Dafoe.

[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_09]: I think both of these

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_09]: characters have fun ideas

[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_09]: behind them and fun looks.

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, but you could cut him

[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_05]: out of the movie, it doesn't

[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_05]: make a difference.

[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_09]: No, and I'm just like,

[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't understand how someone

[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_09]: didn't stop at some point and

[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_09]: go, hey, it's wonderful.

[00:42:26] [SPEAKER_09]: And then after the other,

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_09]: they're basically both similar

[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_09]: threads that amount to nothing.

[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_09]: The movie finally brings them

[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_09]: and you're like, oh, this is

[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_09]: going to be the crazy all the

[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_09]: threads converge.

[00:42:37] [SPEAKER_09]: And this was all happening for

[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_09]: a reason.

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_09]: And the builders basically

[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_09]: goes like, eh, not interested.

[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_09]: It cuts the plot thread.

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_09]: That's funny.

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_09]: It's kind of funny.

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_09]: Okay, here's the-

[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_09]: And I almost want to give him

[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_09]: credit for being like, I don't

[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_09]: give a shit.

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_09]: But then I'm like, why?

[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_09]: Like-

[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, we know why Monika

[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_08]: Bellucci's in the movie.

[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_08]: Why is Wilhelm Defoe in the

[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_08]: movie?

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm really not sure.

[00:42:58] [SPEAKER_08]: No.

[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't-

[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_08]: And it's like having a

[00:43:00] [SPEAKER_08]: funny idea.

[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_08]: It's kind of a fun new thread

[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_09]: of people are chasing Beetlejuice.

[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_09]: Here's the plot of

[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_08]: Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.

[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm just going to lay it out

[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_08]: character by character.

[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_08]: I can't wait to see what

[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_08]: it is.

[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm going to do

[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_01]: character by character.

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_08]: Okay.

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_08]: Winona writer is Lydia Dietz

[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_08]: since Beetlejuice.

[00:43:12] [SPEAKER_08]: She has married Santiago Cabrera,

[00:43:15] [SPEAKER_08]: lost him, divorced him and

[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_08]: then he died in the

[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_08]: Amazon.

[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_08]: I've lost him long before

[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_08]: I've lost him long before

[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_08]: he died.

[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_08]: She had a kid with

[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_08]: a mother named Astrid

[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_08]: played by Jenna Ortega,

[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_08]: but they are somewhat

[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_08]: estranged because

[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Astrid doesn't like

[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_08]: that she's this hack,

[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_08]: sort of ghost TV show.

[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Like Long Island medium,

[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_05]: but she wears all

[00:43:42] [SPEAKER_05]: like Calm to Garcione

[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_05]: and Junior Wanchinobi.

[00:43:45] [SPEAKER_05]: But also seems to take

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_09]: more effort.

[00:43:47] [SPEAKER_09]: Her father,

[00:43:48] [SPEAKER_09]: some degree,

[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_09]: blames her mother

[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_09]: for the father being

[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_09]: gay.

[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_09]: So Astrid,

[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_08]: to pick up that thread is

[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_08]: right.

[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_08]: A disaffected teenager

[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_08]: at boarding school.

[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_08]: She reads books

[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_05]: like crime and punishment

[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_05]: like crime and punishment

[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_08]: or just a science

[00:44:02] [SPEAKER_08]: and dislikes global warming.

[00:44:05] [SPEAKER_08]: Right.

[00:44:05] [SPEAKER_08]: And she doesn't believe

[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_08]: in ghosts because

[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_08]: she's revealing against

[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_08]: her mother.

[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_08]: And it's not realistic.

[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_08]: She's kind of a

[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_08]: Ben Haasley in that sense.

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_08]: Catherine Herrera is

[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_08]: Dealea Dietz.

[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_08]: She's chilling in

[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_08]: Connecticut making

[00:44:15] [SPEAKER_08]: her silly art making

[00:44:16] [SPEAKER_08]: everything about her doing

[00:44:17] [SPEAKER_08]: big projects.

[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_08]: But I don't think she

[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_05]: is chilling in Connecticut.

[00:44:20] [SPEAKER_05]: She's kind of in New York.

[00:44:21] [SPEAKER_05]: She's got like her own

[00:44:22] [SPEAKER_05]: little gallery space.

[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_08]: Insulations.

[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_05]: I liked the device

[00:44:26] [SPEAKER_05]: of the graffiti artist

[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_05]: dying and that being.

[00:44:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:44:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Art.

[00:44:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, yes.

[00:44:34] [SPEAKER_05]: When I say I don't like

[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_05]: this movie, like there are

[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_05]: little moments and bits

[00:44:36] [SPEAKER_05]: and scenes that I like

[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_05]: that I think are fun.

[00:44:39] [SPEAKER_09]: And those bits have

[00:44:40] [SPEAKER_09]: innately more energy

[00:44:42] [SPEAKER_09]: and creativity to me

[00:44:43] [SPEAKER_09]: than Burton has

[00:44:44] [SPEAKER_09]: shown in a while.

[00:44:45] [SPEAKER_08]: There's lots of fun stuff.

[00:44:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Justin Thoreau is there.

[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_08]: He plays Lydia's new

[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_08]: fiancee.

[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_08]: He's kind of the

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_08]: Otho of the movie of like

[00:44:55] [SPEAKER_08]: who's the most obnoxious

[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_09]: living person who everyone

[00:44:58] [SPEAKER_09]: can kind of laugh at.

[00:44:58] [SPEAKER_09]: Kind of the New Dealea too.

[00:45:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, you're right.

[00:45:01] [SPEAKER_08]: He's both.

[00:45:01] [SPEAKER_08]: You know, he's just right.

[00:45:02] [SPEAKER_08]: This kind of phony.

[00:45:03] [SPEAKER_08]: He's this like very obvious

[00:45:04] [SPEAKER_08]: phony and then

[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_09]: over in the afterlife.

[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_09]: They did this TV show together.

[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_09]: He is sort of reluctantly

[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_09]: plying her prescription

[00:45:12] [SPEAKER_09]: medication.

[00:45:13] [SPEAKER_09]: She seems kind of on edge

[00:45:16] [SPEAKER_09]: very much the modern mode

[00:45:18] [SPEAKER_09]: of Winona.

[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_09]: Is this person about to shatter?

[00:45:22] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:45:23] [SPEAKER_09]: Seems like a little stretched.

[00:45:25] [SPEAKER_08]: Then in the afterlife,

[00:45:26] [SPEAKER_08]: Beetlejuice played by Michael Keaton.

[00:45:29] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, that's who.

[00:45:29] [SPEAKER_08]: OK, I was trying to figure

[00:45:30] [SPEAKER_08]: out who that was.

[00:45:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Seems to be running a call center

[00:45:33] [SPEAKER_08]: with a bunch of shrunken head folks.

[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_08]: Funny.

[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_08]: And then also we have

[00:45:37] [SPEAKER_08]: Monica Baluchis Dolores,

[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_08]: who is Beetlejuice's ex-wife

[00:45:41] [SPEAKER_08]: who murdered him

[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_08]: and then he murdered her

[00:45:43] [SPEAKER_08]: in maybe Italy and like, you know.

[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_05]: And like a very like

[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_05]: kind of Bava.

[00:45:49] [SPEAKER_08]: Mario Bava type movie.

[00:45:50] [SPEAKER_08]: I like everything about the setup of this.

[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, me too.

[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I like that part when

[00:45:54] [SPEAKER_05]: he starts speaking in Italian.

[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_09]: Yes.

[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_05]: Which was, I was like, oh great.

[00:45:58] [SPEAKER_05]: This is awesome.

[00:45:58] [SPEAKER_09]: I love it.

[00:45:59] [SPEAKER_09]: Do we really need a Beetlejuice

[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_09]: backstory?

[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_09]: And I'm like, no, this is

[00:46:02] [SPEAKER_09]: the right kind of.

[00:46:03] [SPEAKER_09]: It's just funny to be like

[00:46:05] [SPEAKER_08]: backstory.

[00:46:06] [SPEAKER_09]: He's to be alive, but

[00:46:07] [SPEAKER_09]: he was the same fucking guy.

[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_08]: A 14th century Grape robber

[00:46:10] [SPEAKER_08]: who fucked a black widow.

[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_08]: Right.

[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_08]: And then when she killed him,

[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_08]: he got mad and chopped her to pieces.

[00:46:15] [SPEAKER_08]: She has reassembled

[00:46:16] [SPEAKER_08]: and wants to suck his soul

[00:46:17] [SPEAKER_08]: because she's a soul sucker.

[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_08]: Not explained.

[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_09]: And has maybe three lines

[00:46:21] [SPEAKER_09]: of dialogue in the entire movie.

[00:46:22] [SPEAKER_09]: Basically just is introduced

[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_09]: seven times, walking slowly

[00:46:25] [SPEAKER_09]: through a room,

[00:46:26] [SPEAKER_09]: sucking someone's forehead

[00:46:27] [SPEAKER_09]: and then continuing to walk.

[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_08]: Monica Baluchis looks wonderful.

[00:46:30] [SPEAKER_08]: Is currently partnered

[00:46:31] [SPEAKER_08]: with Tim Burton.

[00:46:32] [SPEAKER_09]: Do we know timeline wise?

[00:46:34] [SPEAKER_09]: Were they dating

[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_09]: and then she was written

[00:46:36] [SPEAKER_09]: into this movie or vice versa?

[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_09]: Not sure.

[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_09]: But you know,

[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_08]: it's we're good.

[00:46:43] [SPEAKER_08]: We're good.

[00:46:43] [SPEAKER_09]: Let's just acknowledge Tim Burton

[00:46:44] [SPEAKER_09]: quietly has revealed

[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_09]: himself to be one of

[00:46:49] [SPEAKER_09]: their rights.

[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_09]: I hit he's a legendary stickman.

[00:46:51] [SPEAKER_09]: The numbers don't lie

[00:46:53] [SPEAKER_09]: at this point.

[00:46:54] [SPEAKER_08]: He has a type.

[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_08]: Obviously,

[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_08]: he's often dating the same sort

[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_08]: of like, you know,

[00:46:59] [SPEAKER_08]: beautiful raven haired

[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_08]: goddess.

[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Kitty got girlfriend.

[00:47:03] Sorry.

[00:47:04] [SPEAKER_08]: Not always that,

[00:47:05] [SPEAKER_08]: but I do feel like

[00:47:06] [SPEAKER_08]: he has a Gothic type

[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_08]: of lady.

[00:47:09] [SPEAKER_08]: He likes to squire around town.

[00:47:10] [SPEAKER_05]: It's an

[00:47:11] [SPEAKER_05]: isn't big titty goth

[00:47:12] [SPEAKER_05]: girlfriend like a thing.

[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, isn't that an archetype

[00:47:14] [SPEAKER_05]: that people talk about

[00:47:15] [SPEAKER_05]: on the internet?

[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, Tim Burton

[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_08]: makes money every time

[00:47:18] [SPEAKER_08]: someone says it.

[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_08]: Are you telling me the

[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_08]: internet talks about tits?

[00:47:22] [SPEAKER_08]: Wilm Dafoe plays a character

[00:47:23] [SPEAKER_08]: called Wolf Jackson,

[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_08]: who is a ghost detective

[00:47:25] [SPEAKER_08]: who is like a shitty actor.

[00:47:27] [SPEAKER_09]: He was a shitty actor

[00:47:28] [SPEAKER_09]: on a procedural cop show

[00:47:29] [SPEAKER_09]: who now in death

[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_09]: has become a real cop.

[00:47:32] [SPEAKER_09]: Sort of.

[00:47:33] [SPEAKER_09]: Kind of.

[00:47:34] [SPEAKER_09]: Byrne Gorman

[00:47:34] [SPEAKER_09]: in kind of a wonderful

[00:47:36] [SPEAKER_09]: performance is a fussy

[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_09]: little priest

[00:47:38] [SPEAKER_09]: who's also like a quiet

[00:47:39] [SPEAKER_09]: alcoholic.

[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_08]: Seems that way.

[00:47:41] [SPEAKER_08]: Constantly trying to cover it up.

[00:47:42] [SPEAKER_08]: And there's a wonderful

[00:47:44] [SPEAKER_08]: performance from Danny

[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_08]: DeVito is a blue-faced janitor

[00:47:46] [SPEAKER_08]: who gets squished into a pancake.

[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_08]: Who's addicted to drinking antifreeze?

[00:47:52] [SPEAKER_09]: Kind of rocks.

[00:47:53] [SPEAKER_09]: Or varnish.

[00:47:54] [SPEAKER_09]: Is it floor varnish?

[00:47:55] [SPEAKER_09]: I took it as antifreeze,

[00:47:56] [SPEAKER_09]: but I wasn't sure.

[00:47:57] [SPEAKER_09]: You know, some kind of product.

[00:47:58] [SPEAKER_09]: Would you be surprised

[00:47:59] [SPEAKER_09]: to hear that Ben

[00:48:00] [SPEAKER_09]: seemed very excited

[00:48:01] [SPEAKER_09]: during this sequence

[00:48:02] [SPEAKER_09]: of the movie

[00:48:03] [SPEAKER_09]: when Danny DeVito

[00:48:04] [SPEAKER_09]: showed up

[00:48:04] [SPEAKER_09]: blue chug and toxic liquids

[00:48:08] [SPEAKER_09]: drooling out of his mouth

[00:48:09] [SPEAKER_09]: and put it in his mouth

[00:48:10] [SPEAKER_08]: and it's gonna dump with more of it.

[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_08]: And the inciting incident

[00:48:13] [SPEAKER_08]: is that Jeffrey Jones's character

[00:48:15] [SPEAKER_08]: Charles

[00:48:16] [SPEAKER_08]: has died horribly

[00:48:18] [SPEAKER_08]: in not a plane crash,

[00:48:20] [SPEAKER_08]: not by drowning,

[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_08]: but he was eaten by a shark

[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_08]: after those two things.

[00:48:23] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, this is a lovely sequence.

[00:48:24] [SPEAKER_08]: It is.

[00:48:25] [SPEAKER_09]: A real like fuck

[00:48:26] [SPEAKER_09]: is this gonna totally work

[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_09]: sequence of the movie

[00:48:29] [SPEAKER_09]: where you're like Burton

[00:48:30] [SPEAKER_09]: suddenly cuts to stop motion,

[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_09]: perhaps largely work around to the fact

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_09]: that you don't want to allow

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_09]: Jeffrey Jones on to a set,

[00:48:37] [SPEAKER_09]: a physical location.

[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_09]: But yes, you're watching

[00:48:41] [SPEAKER_09]: the explanation of his tragic death

[00:48:43] [SPEAKER_09]: played out in these like funny

[00:48:44] [SPEAKER_09]: stop motion models that also look

[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_09]: a little different to Burton's

[00:48:48] [SPEAKER_09]: usual style, I would say.

[00:48:51] [SPEAKER_08]: Supposedly Burton said to Miles Millar

[00:48:53] [SPEAKER_08]: and Alfred Gao who wrote the script

[00:48:55] [SPEAKER_08]: like that was his worst nightmare.

[00:48:57] [SPEAKER_08]: Like what if I was in a plane crash

[00:48:58] [SPEAKER_08]: survived and then got even by a shark

[00:49:00] [SPEAKER_08]: and they were like, oh, that's funny.

[00:49:01] [SPEAKER_08]: We'll do that.

[00:49:01] [SPEAKER_08]: And his death brings everyone

[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_08]: to Connecticut to their old house.

[00:49:05] [SPEAKER_08]: Yes.

[00:49:06] [SPEAKER_08]: Alkbold went into your neighborhood

[00:49:07] [SPEAKER_08]: Mr. Gumbag is a loophole and

[00:49:09] [SPEAKER_08]: and everyone's here.

[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_08]: OK, Lydia and

[00:49:15] [SPEAKER_08]: Delia are kind of getting along now.

[00:49:17] [SPEAKER_08]: Lydia seems just basically a little

[00:49:19] [SPEAKER_08]: beaten down by life.

[00:49:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Addicted to pills.

[00:49:22] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, maybe.

[00:49:23] [SPEAKER_08]: And I thought that's also kind of

[00:49:25] [SPEAKER_09]: abandoned drop in the first

[00:49:27] [SPEAKER_09]: when they introduced at the beginning

[00:49:29] [SPEAKER_09]: of the movie, you're like, oh, wow.

[00:49:31] [SPEAKER_09]: This feels like a more bracing

[00:49:33] [SPEAKER_09]: realistic thing than most Tim Burton

[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_09]: movies touch on.

[00:49:36] [SPEAKER_09]: I just saw Edward again recently.

[00:49:38] [SPEAKER_09]: They did an anniversary screening of it

[00:49:40] [SPEAKER_09]: where Larry Kerazooski did a Q&A

[00:49:43] [SPEAKER_09]: and there's that feeling of like, oh,

[00:49:45] [SPEAKER_09]: watching like Tim Burton depict

[00:49:47] [SPEAKER_09]: like drug addiction, you know.

[00:49:49] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[00:49:50] [SPEAKER_09]: Is like sobering.

[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it is.

[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_09]: And it's part of the magic of that

[00:49:54] [SPEAKER_09]: movie is when he lets like the tragedies

[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_09]: of real life kind of seep in

[00:49:58] [SPEAKER_09]: for these people who want to live

[00:49:59] [SPEAKER_09]: in like fantasy world.

[00:50:01] [SPEAKER_09]: And there's a little bit of that

[00:50:02] [SPEAKER_09]: feeling of like the two of them

[00:50:03] [SPEAKER_09]: fighting over the pills in the bathroom

[00:50:05] [SPEAKER_09]: and then amounts to nothing.

[00:50:08] [SPEAKER_08]: Lydia Dietz, I would say.

[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't think we're known as bad in this

[00:50:12] [SPEAKER_08]: movie at all.

[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_08]: It's kind of nice to see her

[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_08]: try to reach back to, you know,

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_08]: her youth.

[00:50:20] [SPEAKER_08]: But her character is the film's

[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_08]: biggest problem, I would say.

[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_09]: Yes.

[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_09]: So here's what I think is the thread

[00:50:26] [SPEAKER_09]: of the movie that is the most compelling

[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_09]: that I don't think is the most

[00:50:30] [SPEAKER_09]: compelling in execution, but the idea

[00:50:32] [SPEAKER_09]: they have and I think especially to

[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_09]: Tim Burton not to project a ton

[00:50:36] [SPEAKER_09]: of shit onto him.

[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_09]: Tim Burton had a

[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_09]: weird relationship with his father, right?

[00:50:42] [SPEAKER_09]: The classic thing is reflected in all

[00:50:43] [SPEAKER_09]: of his movies of like I was a weird

[00:50:45] [SPEAKER_09]: dark boy born in Burbank.

[00:50:47] [SPEAKER_09]: My parents didn't understand why I wasn't

[00:50:49] [SPEAKER_09]: happy and why I want to spend

[00:50:50] [SPEAKER_09]: all my time thinking about monsters

[00:50:52] [SPEAKER_09]: and not go out and play ball.

[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_09]: You know the entire dynamic that

[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_09]: his short film Vincent, his first

[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_09]: real film project immediately

[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_09]: summarizes which will be the key text

[00:51:01] [SPEAKER_09]: of all of his work.

[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_09]: Big Fish is the movie he makes in response

[00:51:05] [SPEAKER_09]: to his father dying and trying as

[00:51:07] [SPEAKER_09]: an adult to come to terms with

[00:51:09] [SPEAKER_09]: someone who has just a very different

[00:51:11] [SPEAKER_09]: perception of life than he did and find

[00:51:13] [SPEAKER_09]: some common ground, right?

[00:51:15] [SPEAKER_09]: Now Tim Burton is at a point where he has

[00:51:16] [SPEAKER_09]: children who are teenagers,

[00:51:19] [SPEAKER_09]: college age.

[00:51:21] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't know anything about his kids.

[00:51:23] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm not going to make any assumptions

[00:51:25] [SPEAKER_09]: here, but it is

[00:51:27] [SPEAKER_09]: funny in a movie where he's clearly

[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_09]: relating to Lydia

[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_09]: more than any other character in the original

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice, right? That feels like the stand

[00:51:35] [SPEAKER_09]: in for Tim Burton.

[00:51:37] [SPEAKER_09]: This feeling of I'm in a nice house

[00:51:39] [SPEAKER_09]: and all I think about is darkness.

[00:51:41] [SPEAKER_08]: I was taking it right. Forget even

[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_08]: the family stuff, but just like him being

[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_08]: like did I just sell out? Am I just kind

[00:51:47] [SPEAKER_08]: of lazy now? Like you know, like that.

[00:51:50] [SPEAKER_09]: That part of it, but also

[00:51:51] [SPEAKER_09]: that the thing that Lydia is dealing

[00:51:53] [SPEAKER_09]: with is that her rebellious

[00:51:55] [SPEAKER_09]: teenage daughter is more

[00:51:57] [SPEAKER_09]: normal than she is, right?

[00:52:00] [SPEAKER_09]: This weird flip of perspective

[00:52:02] [SPEAKER_09]: that he's now able to speak

[00:52:03] [SPEAKER_09]: from of I went through

[00:52:05] [SPEAKER_09]: being defined by my confusion

[00:52:07] [SPEAKER_09]: with my surroundings,

[00:52:10] [SPEAKER_09]: my lineage, you know,

[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_09]: I was born in the wrong place, the wrong

[00:52:13] [SPEAKER_09]: people, then trying to come to terms

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_09]: with them and then having my own kids,

[00:52:17] [SPEAKER_09]: seeing them become their own people.

[00:52:19] [SPEAKER_09]: It felt like there was a perspective

[00:52:21] [SPEAKER_09]: here he could talk to.

[00:52:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Well, yeah, but I don't think that's in the movie, Griffin.

[00:52:26] [SPEAKER_09]: I think it's in the setup of the movie a little bit.

[00:52:28] [SPEAKER_09]: But you know, we get it. It feels like it's not really

[00:52:30] [SPEAKER_05]: concerned with Astrid is immediately

[00:52:32] [SPEAKER_05]: identified as an outsider.

[00:52:34] [SPEAKER_05]: We see her being bullied

[00:52:35] [SPEAKER_05]: by her classmates

[00:52:37] [SPEAKER_05]: who then like put a fake ghost

[00:52:39] [SPEAKER_05]: in her room and

[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_07]: but I think they're making fun of her because of her

[00:52:43] [SPEAKER_05]: most. No, but still, but still she

[00:52:45] [SPEAKER_05]: is still an outcast. I think there's the

[00:52:47] [SPEAKER_05]: thing though. And then when she dresses

[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_05]: in her off

[00:52:51] [SPEAKER_05]: time, she still dresses

[00:52:53] [SPEAKER_05]: like a little goth girl. Well, this is my take

[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_09]: is that when they announced

[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, the star of Wednesday is going to play Lydia's

[00:53:00] [SPEAKER_09]: daughter in Beelge's Beelge's, you're like, yeah,

[00:53:02] [SPEAKER_09]: that writes itself. She'll just be a new little

[00:53:04] [SPEAKER_09]: Lydia, right?

[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_09]: And I think it is pointed even if this movie does

[00:53:07] [SPEAKER_09]: not figure out how to totally make it work

[00:53:09] [SPEAKER_09]: that she is a different type of outsider

[00:53:12] [SPEAKER_09]: that Lydia cannot relate

[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_09]: to her being an outsider.

[00:53:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Sort of. I just feel like you're

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_08]: already reaching for more than he's providing.

[00:53:20] [SPEAKER_08]: The movie just doesn't have any of that

[00:53:22] [SPEAKER_08]: because it's like Lydia is a sellout.

[00:53:24] [SPEAKER_08]: She's like, I'm kind of a sellout. I do this

[00:53:25] [SPEAKER_08]: bullshit thing. Right? I'm sort of doing.

[00:53:27] [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, my misparagran phase of just going through

[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_08]: the motions. One of the funniest moments in the movie

[00:53:31] [SPEAKER_08]: is when

[00:53:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Delia is like, but we kind of figured it out.

[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_08]: And she's like, you only started liking me when I

[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_08]: sold out and got successful. Delia is like,

[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_08]: no, I liked you before that.

[00:53:40] [SPEAKER_08]: That movie is really

[00:53:43] [SPEAKER_08]: really fucking good.

[00:53:44] [SPEAKER_05]: She was my favorite part.

[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_08]: She just doesn't feel like she's trying it all.

[00:53:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Like it's just, it's weirdly

[00:53:50] [SPEAKER_08]: a natural performance.

[00:53:53] [SPEAKER_08]: Given how effective she is.

[00:53:55] [SPEAKER_08]: And she's doing it. Anyway.

[00:53:58] [SPEAKER_08]: And then like

[00:53:58] [SPEAKER_08]: Lydia is getting married to Rory, right?

[00:54:01] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, they go

[00:54:02] [SPEAKER_08]: They go to the funeral and Rory is like

[00:54:04] [SPEAKER_09]: Jesus, the opportunity goes, what if I proposed

[00:54:06] [SPEAKER_09]: to you and we get married in two days? Let's have a showbiz

[00:54:08] [SPEAKER_09]: Halloween marriage in two days.

[00:54:10] [SPEAKER_08]: Right, the camera.

[00:54:12] [SPEAKER_07]: Do you need to shout out how funny

[00:54:14] [SPEAKER_07]: it is that the gravestone is shaped

[00:54:16] [SPEAKER_07]: like a shark's. It's so fucking funny.

[00:54:19] [SPEAKER_09]: There is little shit like this.

[00:54:21] [SPEAKER_09]: It's very in the movie that

[00:54:22] [SPEAKER_09]: his great son says like father, husband, bird,

[00:54:24] [SPEAKER_09]: wandering. It does.

[00:54:26] [SPEAKER_09]: Like, yeah, there's just there's there's stuff

[00:54:29] [SPEAKER_09]: and you're like, couldn't they

[00:54:31] [SPEAKER_09]: have taken 70%

[00:54:32] [SPEAKER_09]: of the script out and given him more room to

[00:54:34] [SPEAKER_09]: do stuff and just found one

[00:54:38] [SPEAKER_09]: narrative idea

[00:54:39] [SPEAKER_09]: because you could then just fill in the gaps.

[00:54:41] [SPEAKER_08]: Rory is like, let's get married on Halloween

[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_08]: and you're like, oh, OK, so

[00:54:44] [SPEAKER_08]: so that will be

[00:54:46] [SPEAKER_08]: sort of the narrative spine of the movie is

[00:54:48] [SPEAKER_08]: like we're preparing for a wedding

[00:54:50] [SPEAKER_08]: we nobody really wants to be a part of.

[00:54:53] [SPEAKER_08]: Instead, it's basically just kind of like

[00:54:55] [SPEAKER_08]: when the wedding is happening and

[00:54:56] [SPEAKER_08]: Lydia is like, oh right,

[00:54:58] [SPEAKER_08]: wedding I should go to.

[00:55:00] [SPEAKER_08]: She never seems remotely interested in it.

[00:55:03] [SPEAKER_08]: No one in the movie cares about it except

[00:55:04] [SPEAKER_08]: for Justin Thoreau. Yes, it's a setup

[00:55:06] [SPEAKER_08]: for the Beetlejuice wedding

[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_08]: but you don't need that because Beetlejuice

[00:55:10] [SPEAKER_08]: can just make a wedding happen by doing this.

[00:55:12] [SPEAKER_02]: The last movie.

[00:55:14] [SPEAKER_09]: Another weird choice this movie makes

[00:55:17] [SPEAKER_09]: is it feels like it's not my fingers.

[00:55:18] [SPEAKER_09]: It's almost trying to do a parody

[00:55:20] [SPEAKER_09]: of the like it's about

[00:55:22] [SPEAKER_09]: trauma unpacking legacy

[00:55:24] [SPEAKER_08]: and they're making fun of that a little bit

[00:55:26] [SPEAKER_08]: with the Justin Thoreau with all this

[00:55:28] [SPEAKER_08]: kind of hollow trauma.

[00:55:30] [SPEAKER_09]: Therapy speak, right. And this thing of

[00:55:32] [SPEAKER_09]: Lydia like underlining like

[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_09]: you understand this horrible thing happened to me

[00:55:36] [SPEAKER_09]: when I was a child a ghost tried to marry

[00:55:38] [SPEAKER_09]: me an adult ghost tried to marry

[00:55:40] [SPEAKER_09]: me when I was a child which is one of those things

[00:55:42] [SPEAKER_09]: that people love to say like if you look

[00:55:44] [SPEAKER_09]: like a Beetlejuice actually gonna fuck up

[00:55:46] [SPEAKER_08]: Beetlejuice is a myriad child. Yes, Beetlejuice

[00:55:48] [SPEAKER_08]: is in fact not politically correct.

[00:55:50] [SPEAKER_08]: I want to be clear. Let's put all jokes aside.

[00:55:52] [SPEAKER_08]: No, just to finish my Lydia please.

[00:55:54] [SPEAKER_08]: What is this?

[00:55:56] [SPEAKER_08]: Okay, it's about her reconnecting with her daughter

[00:55:58] [SPEAKER_08]: I guess. That's like

[00:56:00] [SPEAKER_08]: the emotional thing. That's what it should be

[00:56:02] [SPEAKER_08]: about. But right it feels like mostly

[00:56:04] [SPEAKER_08]: they just are in parallel tracks for the entire movie

[00:56:07] [SPEAKER_08]: and then you know

[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_08]: Jenna or take it what the fuck is

[00:56:10] [SPEAKER_08]: Astrid gets sucked into the

[00:56:12] [SPEAKER_08]: netherworld and now we have to rescue her

[00:56:14] [SPEAKER_08]: and she's like yeah of course I'm gonna rescue her. I don't want you to

[00:56:16] [SPEAKER_08]: die or my daughter I love you. It also feels like

[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_08]: the whole movie. And Astrid's like oh now that

[00:56:20] [SPEAKER_08]: I see that you're weren't lying I forgive

[00:56:22] [SPEAKER_08]: you. Yes. And you're just like

[00:56:25] [SPEAKER_08]: I was fine

[00:56:27] [SPEAKER_08]: but it's

[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_08]: bullshit nothing happens

[00:56:30] [SPEAKER_08]: they don't do any work. No, this is the

[00:56:33] [SPEAKER_09]: other thing I was gonna say. It feels

[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_09]: like

[00:56:36] [SPEAKER_09]: it makes sense that

[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_09]: the idea of this wedding

[00:56:39] [SPEAKER_09]: looms very large in Lydia's mind

[00:56:41] [SPEAKER_09]: right? It is wild

[00:56:43] [SPEAKER_09]: that Beetlejuice is reintroduced in this movie

[00:56:45] [SPEAKER_09]: he opens a newspaper he sees the Charles

[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_09]: Deed's side and he goes great

[00:56:49] [SPEAKER_09]: now it's my chance to make the wedding happen again

[00:56:51] [SPEAKER_09]: and I'm like Beetlejuice's

[00:56:53] [SPEAKER_09]: thing isn't I gotta marry people all the time

[00:56:55] [SPEAKER_09]: that's how the first movie ends

[00:56:57] [SPEAKER_09]: and by the way it kind of means to an end

[00:56:59] [SPEAKER_09]: because his whole thing is if you marry me

[00:57:01] [SPEAKER_09]: I get to come back to the world of the living

[00:57:03] [SPEAKER_09]: which is what they try to do again with

[00:57:05] [SPEAKER_09]: Teen Boy right? I'm

[00:57:07] [SPEAKER_09]: using you as my pathway

[00:57:10] [SPEAKER_08]: right why have two parallel

[00:57:11] [SPEAKER_08]: there's like three parallel marriage

[00:57:13] [SPEAKER_09]: plots sort of which this movie makes it seem

[00:57:16] [SPEAKER_09]: like the entirety of the ghost

[00:57:18] [SPEAKER_09]: world is predicated on tricking

[00:57:19] [SPEAKER_09]: people into marriages

[00:57:21] [SPEAKER_09]: which I'm like I want to see Beetlejuice

[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_09]: have a totally different plan I want to

[00:57:25] [SPEAKER_09]: see him try some new crazy shit

[00:57:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I want to see Beetlejuice on a surf board

[00:57:30] [SPEAKER_03]: well that's with a bunch of fucking

[00:57:31] [SPEAKER_03]: antiquey men yeah sorry

[00:57:33] [SPEAKER_08]: I just think that would have pineapples

[00:57:35] [SPEAKER_08]: that would have crushed in the early 90s

[00:57:37] [SPEAKER_08]: when that was like an aesthetic

[00:57:39] [SPEAKER_08]: that was kind of more dominant

[00:57:41] [SPEAKER_08]: right your your Tiki bar era

[00:57:43] [SPEAKER_08]: right your Rocko's modern life

[00:57:45] [SPEAKER_08]: your Drew Carey show right

[00:57:47] [SPEAKER_08]: and now it would be like what is this

[00:57:49] [SPEAKER_05]: but I almost would respect that more

[00:57:51] [SPEAKER_08]: because it's even more out of date

[00:57:54] [SPEAKER_05]: my favorite thing about

[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_09]: was so much about teen Lydia

[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_09]: and it was her summer cake or whatever

[00:57:59] [SPEAKER_09]: and then when she got too old they were just like

[00:58:01] [SPEAKER_05]: you can't do it one of the things

[00:58:03] [SPEAKER_05]: that I love about like peak Tim Burton

[00:58:06] [SPEAKER_05]: is the way that he combines

[00:58:08] [SPEAKER_05]: like mid-century American

[00:58:10] [SPEAKER_05]: kitsch

[00:58:12] [SPEAKER_05]: with gothic

[00:58:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Victorian elements

[00:58:15] [SPEAKER_09]: right all these different artistic

[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_09]: and cultural traditions didn't get as much of the

[00:58:19] [SPEAKER_05]: mid-century

[00:58:21] [SPEAKER_05]: American

[00:58:23] [SPEAKER_08]: kitsch so here's the other thing

[00:58:24] [SPEAKER_05]: in this that I really like

[00:58:27] [SPEAKER_08]: and after like self looks great in this movie

[00:58:29] [SPEAKER_08]: I would say by and large cause it's practical

[00:58:31] [SPEAKER_08]: the IRL

[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_08]: stuff looks kind of flat

[00:58:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I actually was really excited for the first scene

[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_05]: of the movie because they had

[00:58:38] [SPEAKER_05]: a couple that was guesting on Lydia's

[00:58:41] [SPEAKER_05]: show right they both had

[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_05]: really weird faces great Tim Burtony

[00:58:44] [SPEAKER_05]: face and I was like oh we're in the

[00:58:46] [SPEAKER_05]: pocket we're going to

[00:58:48] [SPEAKER_05]: get back to like weird character actors

[00:58:51] [SPEAKER_05]: and in my head I'm still thinking

[00:58:52] [SPEAKER_05]: about like all of the hype on

[00:58:54] [SPEAKER_05]: practical effects and all this

[00:58:56] [SPEAKER_05]: and so I'm like good he's

[00:58:58] [SPEAKER_05]: like firmly back

[00:58:59] [SPEAKER_05]: doing the good stuff and then

[00:59:03] [SPEAKER_05]: everything

[00:59:04] [SPEAKER_05]: it just that he doesn't really

[00:59:06] [SPEAKER_05]: continue on with that

[00:59:08] [SPEAKER_09]: this is what it's green I go to

[00:59:10] [SPEAKER_09]: still fine with my favorite film

[00:59:11] [SPEAKER_09]: right I would agree perfect movie

[00:59:14] [SPEAKER_09]: yes and Kersick sees

[00:59:16] [SPEAKER_09]: talking afterwards needle juice my number

[00:59:18] [SPEAKER_08]: two I think yeah

[00:59:20] [SPEAKER_09]: I feel like that's where I landed

[00:59:22] [SPEAKER_09]: back then and if I didn't

[00:59:24] [SPEAKER_09]: it probably is where I land now

[00:59:27] [SPEAKER_09]: but he was talking

[00:59:29] [SPEAKER_09]: about the first production

[00:59:30] [SPEAKER_09]: designer they hired for Ed Wood

[00:59:32] [SPEAKER_09]: they had to fire

[00:59:34] [SPEAKER_09]: because he was a huge Tim Burton

[00:59:37] [SPEAKER_09]: fan and was like

[00:59:38] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm so excited to be working on a Tim Burton movie

[00:59:40] [SPEAKER_09]: and kept on submitting Tim Burton

[00:59:42] [SPEAKER_09]: designs and Tim Burton was like

[00:59:44] [SPEAKER_09]: no this is me trying to do something different

[00:59:47] [SPEAKER_09]: and it's not it

[00:59:49] [SPEAKER_09]: right this is part and parcel with

[00:59:50] [SPEAKER_09]: the we don't need the script to be good

[00:59:52] [SPEAKER_09]: if we hire Tim Burton he'll put his shit on

[00:59:54] [SPEAKER_09]: it and I'll make it fun kind of thing

[00:59:56] [SPEAKER_09]: is you get to a point where everyone's showing up going

[00:59:58] [SPEAKER_09]: great I get to do the Tim Burton thing

[01:00:00] [SPEAKER_09]: versus what used to be interesting

[01:00:02] [SPEAKER_09]: was he was having to push

[01:00:04] [SPEAKER_09]: and pull people in weird directions

[01:00:06] [SPEAKER_09]: out of their comfort zone you know

[01:00:08] [SPEAKER_09]: and like harmonize all these wildly

[01:00:10] [SPEAKER_09]: different things like you're saying of like

[01:00:12] [SPEAKER_09]: oh this weird contrast of like

[01:00:14] [SPEAKER_09]: it's Roger Corman but it's also

[01:00:16] [SPEAKER_09]: like you know I don't know

[01:00:18] [SPEAKER_09]: it's all these different

[01:00:19] [SPEAKER_05]: well it's like Roger Corman

[01:00:21] [SPEAKER_05]: it's the Jetsons

[01:00:24] [SPEAKER_05]: it's also Edward Gory

[01:00:27] [SPEAKER_05]: it's frozen TV dinners

[01:00:29] [SPEAKER_09]: right there's so many different things he's pulling from

[01:00:31] [SPEAKER_09]: and now all of that is

[01:00:32] [SPEAKER_09]: synthesized as right the Tim Burton aesthetic

[01:00:34] [SPEAKER_09]: it's no longer thought of as the separate pieces

[01:00:36] [SPEAKER_09]: it's just its own thing

[01:00:38] [SPEAKER_08]: I just want to say it's his 20th movie

[01:00:40] [SPEAKER_08]: the list I was working from

[01:00:42] [SPEAKER_08]: had Nightmare Before Christmas

[01:00:44] [SPEAKER_08]: not I was misreading you know

[01:00:46] [SPEAKER_08]: I like now you know

[01:00:47] [SPEAKER_08]: so this is his 20th

[01:00:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm apologizing to Henry Selick David

[01:00:52] [SPEAKER_08]: that guy

[01:00:53] [SPEAKER_08]: he doesn't get mad about anything

[01:00:55] [SPEAKER_09]: like he won't care about that

[01:00:57] [SPEAKER_09]: hey and by the way Jim Serge is Kate Bosworth

[01:00:59] [SPEAKER_09]: you're on notice you can take this week off

[01:01:01] [SPEAKER_08]: but in a year or two I might be calling you back up

[01:01:04] [SPEAKER_08]: for sure and I'm slotting this in

[01:01:05] [SPEAKER_08]: as number 11

[01:01:07] [SPEAKER_08]: on my Tim Burton list

[01:01:10] [SPEAKER_08]: huh there I mean

[01:01:11] [SPEAKER_08]: a list that is top heavy yeah I defend

[01:01:14] [SPEAKER_08]: more of the back half than you do

[01:01:16] [SPEAKER_08]: I have it

[01:01:18] [SPEAKER_08]: below I mean there's obviously the big

[01:01:20] [SPEAKER_08]: seven that you talked about

[01:01:21] [SPEAKER_08]: you know the run

[01:01:23] [SPEAKER_08]: Big Eight sorry

[01:01:25] [SPEAKER_08]: what do you have it above

[01:01:27] [SPEAKER_08]: Dumbo, Big Eyes, Charlie and Chocobactory

[01:01:29] [SPEAKER_08]: Frank and Weenie, Corpse Bride

[01:01:31] [SPEAKER_08]: which is I just don't like those movies that much

[01:01:34] [SPEAKER_08]: as much you know

[01:01:35] [SPEAKER_08]: Miss Peregrine, Dark Shadows, Planet of the Apes

[01:01:37] [SPEAKER_08]: some movie called Elson Wonderland

[01:01:40] [SPEAKER_09]: I think I definitely

[01:01:41] [SPEAKER_09]: put Charlie and Big Eyes above this

[01:01:44] [SPEAKER_09]: sure I'm telling you what I think

[01:01:45] [SPEAKER_09]: I know I hear ya I'm debating whether there's one

[01:01:47] [SPEAKER_09]: more I'd put above this but that's roughly the space

[01:01:49] [SPEAKER_08]: I have but I have it below like

[01:01:51] [SPEAKER_08]: Sweeney and Big Fish which are the two

[01:01:54] [SPEAKER_08]: of the you know later movies

[01:01:56] [SPEAKER_08]: of his that I like like things about

[01:01:58] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah and then I put Charlie

[01:02:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Big Eyes in that pot as well

[01:02:01] [SPEAKER_09]: Charlie just whatever you hate

[01:02:03] [SPEAKER_09]: chocolate I don't hate

[01:02:05] [SPEAKER_09]: chocolate I'm gonna start this as a narrative

[01:02:08] [SPEAKER_05]: that's just not true

[01:02:10] [SPEAKER_05]: I hate hot fuzz David hates

[01:02:12] [SPEAKER_08]: chocolate yeah I feel like I'm more

[01:02:13] [SPEAKER_08]: negative about how fuzz than you are definitely

[01:02:15] [SPEAKER_08]: that's my favorite thing I'm not even that negative

[01:02:17] [SPEAKER_09]: about it no and yet

[01:02:19] [SPEAKER_09]: but let's let's please repeat

[01:02:21] [SPEAKER_09]: that for everyone in the back

[01:02:23] [SPEAKER_09]: you know what I'm looking forward to what

[01:02:26] [SPEAKER_09]: the running man with Glenn Powell

[01:02:27] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah make it right making one of those sounds good

[01:02:30] [SPEAKER_09]: him possibly doing Barbarello

[01:02:32] [SPEAKER_09]: with Sydney Sweeney

[01:02:33] [SPEAKER_05]: mmm no I'm into that

[01:02:35] [SPEAKER_05]: no last night in Soho

[01:02:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Barbarello is not

[01:02:39] [SPEAKER_05]: he can't do like sexy things

[01:02:42] [SPEAKER_09]: Barbarello is like a parody of sex

[01:02:44] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah I could see that

[01:02:47] [SPEAKER_08]: the sort of British

[01:02:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Winky Barbarello is just not

[01:02:50] [SPEAKER_08]: like something really

[01:02:52] [SPEAKER_08]: firm to start off with you know what I mean

[01:02:54] [SPEAKER_08]: like it's just not a really good launch

[01:02:55] [SPEAKER_08]: okay but what are you saying Barbarello is just like

[01:02:57] [SPEAKER_08]: boobs in space a message of Tim Burton

[01:03:00] [SPEAKER_09]: to Barbarello what if Barbarello had

[01:03:02] [SPEAKER_09]: dark hair I'm sure he'd have some takes

[01:05:42] [SPEAKER_08]: all the stuff in this

[01:05:44] [SPEAKER_08]: movie that has Beetlejuice in it

[01:05:45] [SPEAKER_08]: I really enjoyed

[01:05:48] [SPEAKER_08]: I am a big fan of

[01:05:50] [SPEAKER_08]: the actor Michael Keaton Douglas

[01:05:52] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah he's going by that now huh

[01:05:53] [SPEAKER_09]: I think so but only for like

[01:05:55] [SPEAKER_05]: stuff he directs

[01:05:57] [SPEAKER_09]: no but it did happen he was like I wanted

[01:05:59] [SPEAKER_09]: to do it for Nox goes away and then I forgot

[01:06:01] [SPEAKER_09]: and then I went to the final light and I was like

[01:06:03] [SPEAKER_09]: how is Nox goes away I don't dislike

[01:06:05] [SPEAKER_09]: it cool

[01:06:07] [SPEAKER_09]: it's a little interesting I think it's weird

[01:06:09] [SPEAKER_09]: that he's just twice been like

[01:06:11] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah I guess I'll direct this sad hitman

[01:06:14] [SPEAKER_09]: movie and people are like so you like

[01:06:15] [SPEAKER_09]: directing he's like not really

[01:06:17] [SPEAKER_03]: wait he did another one the Mary gentlemen

[01:06:19] [SPEAKER_09]: with Kelly McDonald yeah

[01:06:22] [SPEAKER_09]: there's stuff and Nox goes away

[01:06:24] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah um

[01:06:25] [SPEAKER_09]: you like Michael Keaton he said

[01:06:28] [SPEAKER_09]: in interviews his two

[01:06:29] [SPEAKER_09]: big terms he said for Tim Burton

[01:06:32] [SPEAKER_09]: in terms of returning are I think we got to go

[01:06:34] [SPEAKER_09]: practical we got to get back to basics

[01:06:35] [SPEAKER_09]: got to get the old crew back go back

[01:06:37] [SPEAKER_09]: to the old style and the second thing

[01:06:39] [SPEAKER_09]: is you have to resist the temptation

[01:06:41] [SPEAKER_09]: to make Beetlejuice the main character to put

[01:06:43] [SPEAKER_09]: me in every part of everyone's going to want

[01:06:45] [SPEAKER_09]: to do that I think we should keep it

[01:06:47] [SPEAKER_09]: to the same amount of runtime we had in the first

[01:06:49] [SPEAKER_09]: movie an idea

[01:06:51] [SPEAKER_09]: that I think is correct in principle

[01:06:53] [SPEAKER_09]: but it speaks to the weird

[01:06:55] [SPEAKER_09]: math of movies and especially when we

[01:06:57] [SPEAKER_09]: talk about people who like to fucking

[01:06:59] [SPEAKER_09]: runtime police how much a character

[01:07:01] [SPEAKER_09]: is or isn't in a film and you're like

[01:07:03] [SPEAKER_09]: it's less about minutes and it's more about feeling

[01:07:05] [SPEAKER_09]: and it's about the division of that

[01:07:07] [SPEAKER_09]: and how effective they are in the scenes they're in

[01:07:09] [SPEAKER_09]: the big thing in the first

[01:07:11] [SPEAKER_09]: movie is you're holding back

[01:07:13] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice for a while because the whole

[01:07:15] [SPEAKER_09]: movie is built on the foundation

[01:07:17] [SPEAKER_09]: of fuck what's going to happen

[01:07:19] [SPEAKER_09]: if we summon Beetlejuice right

[01:07:21] [SPEAKER_09]: you have to keep him in the shadows because he's this

[01:07:23] [SPEAKER_09]: mystery box yeah the whole

[01:07:25] [SPEAKER_08]: great thing in the movie is right is Gene Davis

[01:07:27] [SPEAKER_08]: being like what about Beetlejuice and you know

[01:07:29] [SPEAKER_08]: the people are you know he's

[01:07:31] [SPEAKER_08]: so good he's no good you don't want to deal with that guy

[01:07:33] [SPEAKER_09]: Jack Doc TV over the shoulder

[01:07:35] [SPEAKER_09]: it takes a while for him

[01:07:37] [SPEAKER_09]: to enter and then from that point

[01:07:39] [SPEAKER_09]: on it's everyone trying to control him and he's coming

[01:07:41] [SPEAKER_09]: and going right but it really kind

[01:07:43] [SPEAKER_09]: of takes the halfway point for him to show up

[01:07:45] [SPEAKER_09]: this movie

[01:07:47] [SPEAKER_09]: A starts showing us glimpses

[01:07:49] [SPEAKER_09]: of Lydia seeing Beetlejuice as like hallucinations

[01:07:52] [SPEAKER_09]: very early on

[01:07:54] [SPEAKER_09]: but then I want to say it like a minute

[01:07:56] [SPEAKER_09]: 15 it just as you said

[01:07:58] [SPEAKER_09]: cuts to Beetlejuice in an

[01:08:00] [SPEAKER_09]: office with a bunch of shrunken head guys

[01:08:02] [SPEAKER_09]: and at that point

[01:08:03] [SPEAKER_09]: you are now just artificially capping how much

[01:08:06] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice is in the movie in terms of

[01:08:07] [SPEAKER_09]: screen time versus any

[01:08:09] [SPEAKER_09]: narrative reason that he is being held back

[01:08:11] [SPEAKER_09]: because the movie basically sets up this

[01:08:14] [SPEAKER_09]: thing of like he's trying to figure out how to

[01:08:16] [SPEAKER_09]: get up there and do some classic Beetlejuice

[01:08:17] [SPEAKER_09]: shit but we're going to hold back on him getting

[01:08:20] [SPEAKER_09]: up there because we've decided we don't want

[01:08:22] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice to be the main character which is the right

[01:08:23] [SPEAKER_09]: instinct but they have no narrative

[01:08:25] [SPEAKER_09]: argument for why he's not getting

[01:08:27] [SPEAKER_09]: up there really

[01:08:29] [SPEAKER_09]: and it feels like

[01:08:31] [SPEAKER_09]: Wolf Jackson and Dolores are both

[01:08:34] [SPEAKER_09]: kind of included to have other shit that

[01:08:36] [SPEAKER_09]: take time away from Beetlejuice

[01:08:38] [SPEAKER_09]: but are sort of Beetlejuice

[01:08:39] [SPEAKER_09]: adjacent so you have other threads

[01:08:42] [SPEAKER_09]: going so that Keaton's

[01:08:44] [SPEAKER_09]: idea should be met right

[01:08:45] [SPEAKER_09]: here's like the first disappointment I

[01:08:48] [SPEAKER_09]: felt with this movie

[01:08:50] [SPEAKER_09]: teaser poster comes out reveals

[01:08:51] [SPEAKER_09]: that the title is Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

[01:08:53] [SPEAKER_09]: we're all like biting our fist going like

[01:08:55] [SPEAKER_09]: fuck that's good is this going to be good is Burton

[01:08:57] [SPEAKER_09]: back right but the teaser poster was

[01:09:00] [SPEAKER_09]: also Beetlejuice holding the slip

[01:09:02] [SPEAKER_09]: that had the release date on it that looked

[01:09:04] [SPEAKER_09]: like his like take a number

[01:09:06] [SPEAKER_09]: slip from the end of the first movie

[01:09:08] [SPEAKER_09]: he goes down to the waiting room she goes take a number

[01:09:10] [SPEAKER_09]: his number is like 20 million

[01:09:12] [SPEAKER_05]: and he swaps it with the

[01:09:14] [SPEAKER_05]: shrunken headman right and which doctor

[01:09:16] [SPEAKER_09]: which does that yes funny part

[01:09:18] [SPEAKER_09]: to end off on I see that poster

[01:09:20] [SPEAKER_09]: my mind starts racing I'm like if this movie

[01:09:22] [SPEAKER_09]: opens with the joke of he's been

[01:09:24] [SPEAKER_09]: waiting for all these years and 36

[01:09:26] [SPEAKER_09]: years later his numbers finally up

[01:09:28] [SPEAKER_09]: that's oh the reason why

[01:09:30] [SPEAKER_09]: finally Beetlejuice is returning now is because

[01:09:32] [SPEAKER_09]: they finally called his number took 36 years

[01:09:34] [SPEAKER_09]: I wanted some kind

[01:09:36] [SPEAKER_09]: of tie together for that instead the movies just

[01:09:38] [SPEAKER_09]: like curious 36 years later he's like a middle

[01:09:40] [SPEAKER_09]: manager he runs a call

[01:09:42] [SPEAKER_08]: center which is funny

[01:09:44] [SPEAKER_08]: in theory is like he would do

[01:09:46] [SPEAKER_08]: a scammy thing and the

[01:09:48] [SPEAKER_09]: newspaper the death announcement and he's

[01:09:50] [SPEAKER_09]: like here's my way back and I'm like

[01:09:52] [SPEAKER_09]: beautiful thing wasn't that his only

[01:09:54] [SPEAKER_09]: portal was this house

[01:09:56] [SPEAKER_09]: his thing was that he only loves

[01:09:58] [SPEAKER_09]: marriages part of what I like

[01:10:00] [SPEAKER_09]: about Beetlejuice is that it's like I can't figure

[01:10:02] [SPEAKER_09]: out what his thing is and this movie starts to make

[01:10:04] [SPEAKER_09]: it like he's got three moves

[01:10:06] [SPEAKER_09]: trying to marry someone

[01:10:08] [SPEAKER_09]: popping through the model

[01:10:10] [SPEAKER_08]: right model yep

[01:10:12] [SPEAKER_08]: someone says his name accidentally

[01:10:14] [SPEAKER_09]: run away from bureaucracy

[01:10:17] [SPEAKER_08]: right but

[01:10:17] [SPEAKER_08]: and on the last anytime he's in the movie I'm happy

[01:10:20] [SPEAKER_09]: that's my thing so I'm like you could put

[01:10:21] [SPEAKER_09]: more of him in here I think the instinct to

[01:10:23] [SPEAKER_09]: not have him be the lead character is great

[01:10:25] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't think the movie breaks if he's in

[01:10:27] [SPEAKER_09]: 40 minutes instead of 20 minutes

[01:10:29] [SPEAKER_09]: it's also just weird though okay

[01:10:31] [SPEAKER_08]: again because he's working

[01:10:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Delia Lydia Astrid

[01:10:36] [SPEAKER_08]: the first

[01:10:37] [SPEAKER_08]: time we see Beetlejuice it's because

[01:10:39] [SPEAKER_08]: Rory

[01:10:41] [SPEAKER_08]: Justin Thoreau is like

[01:10:43] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm just gonna say his name three times

[01:10:45] [SPEAKER_08]: like this is some trauma thing of yours

[01:10:47] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm just gonna burst through it and then they go to

[01:10:49] [SPEAKER_08]: the couples therapy scene he spills his guts

[01:10:51] [SPEAKER_08]: I thought that was all really funny incredibly fun sequence

[01:10:53] [SPEAKER_09]: the introduction of the Beetlejuice baby which feels

[01:10:55] [SPEAKER_09]: like Burton's got ideas

[01:10:57] [SPEAKER_09]: he's showing up to meetings with notes and

[01:10:59] [SPEAKER_09]: he's like what if what if and you're like

[01:11:01] [SPEAKER_09]: yes Tim start like fucking brainstorming

[01:11:03] [SPEAKER_09]: here

[01:11:04] [SPEAKER_09]: Fennessey made a great point about this though

[01:11:07] [SPEAKER_09]: shouldn't this movie be

[01:11:09] [SPEAKER_09]: like building to the moment

[01:11:11] [SPEAKER_09]: where Lydia shows up

[01:11:12] [SPEAKER_09]: realizes that

[01:11:15] [SPEAKER_09]: Astrid's been taken to the underworld

[01:11:16] [SPEAKER_09]: fuck I have to go save my daughter

[01:11:19] [SPEAKER_09]: reluctantly I call upon

[01:11:21] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice and the whole movie's been like everyone's trying not to say it

[01:11:24] [SPEAKER_09]: and she realizes she has to say it

[01:11:26] [SPEAKER_09]: I agree that's what I'm saying why is it

[01:11:27] [SPEAKER_09]: it's dead do it to have a fun

[01:11:29] [SPEAKER_09]: 10 minute sequence or 5 minute sequence or whatever

[01:11:31] [SPEAKER_09]: is like great we get some great

[01:11:33] [SPEAKER_09]: burton shit it kind of just immediately

[01:11:35] [SPEAKER_09]: deflates the balloon of like we're just gonna call

[01:11:37] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice in whenever we feel like it and then send him away

[01:11:39] [SPEAKER_09]: whenever we feel like it also of course

[01:11:41] [SPEAKER_08]: the movie could be about

[01:11:43] [SPEAKER_08]: Astrid I what I thought the movie was going to be

[01:11:45] [SPEAKER_08]: about which is Astrid goes in the attic

[01:11:46] [SPEAKER_08]: find out about Beetlejuice someone's Beetlejuice by mistake

[01:11:49] [SPEAKER_08]: now we've got a Beetlejuice on our hand and she wants

[01:11:51] [SPEAKER_09]: to go because she wants to find her father

[01:11:53] [SPEAKER_08]: exactly and it's like

[01:11:55] [SPEAKER_08]: completely a different character

[01:11:57] [SPEAKER_08]: yes hoodwinks her into

[01:11:59] [SPEAKER_08]: that exact scenario and they need

[01:12:01] [SPEAKER_08]: Beetlejuice to get him out okay

[01:12:03] [SPEAKER_08]: and Beetlejuice once again is like you know

[01:12:05] [SPEAKER_09]: I love marriage right

[01:12:08] [SPEAKER_09]: it's just

[01:12:09] [SPEAKER_05]: maybe he cares more about family

[01:12:11] [SPEAKER_05]: values than we thought so this is

[01:12:13] [SPEAKER_09]: why I like the idea of Dolores

[01:12:15] [SPEAKER_09]: being in the movie because she's

[01:12:17] [SPEAKER_09]: like I'm the one person as crazy as

[01:12:19] [SPEAKER_09]: you we're destined for each other because we were obsessed

[01:12:21] [SPEAKER_09]: with killing each other

[01:12:23] [SPEAKER_09]: and he's like running away from her

[01:12:25] [SPEAKER_09]: and I was waiting for the threads to be like

[01:12:27] [SPEAKER_09]: she shows up at the wedding and she's just

[01:12:29] [SPEAKER_09]: like what is this shit of you trying

[01:12:31] [SPEAKER_09]: to marry a normal person

[01:12:32] [SPEAKER_09]: why don't we just spend after life together constantly

[01:12:35] [SPEAKER_09]: doing insane shit to each other but that's not

[01:12:37] [SPEAKER_08]: the vibe at all and she's just I want to suck your soul

[01:12:39] [SPEAKER_09]: out because that's what I do especially when she's not talking

[01:12:41] [SPEAKER_09]: for the entire movie I was like this is all building

[01:12:43] [SPEAKER_09]: up to at the end she delivers a big

[01:12:45] [SPEAKER_09]: monologue that's like Beetlejuice accept

[01:12:47] [SPEAKER_09]: your fate no they get sandwormed

[01:12:50] [SPEAKER_08]: inexplicably yeah right that's all

[01:12:51] [SPEAKER_08]: that happens they established a new rule that's like

[01:12:54] [SPEAKER_08]: I did think it was funny when he was like

[01:12:55] [SPEAKER_08]: you look so put together I really

[01:12:57] [SPEAKER_08]: that did make me juice has

[01:12:59] [SPEAKER_08]: jokes the character

[01:13:01] [SPEAKER_08]: himself like the other

[01:13:03] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm sorry we're just

[01:13:05] [SPEAKER_08]: picking this movie but it's like

[01:13:07] [SPEAKER_08]: she gets down there

[01:13:08] [SPEAKER_08]: and the evil boyfriend is like

[01:13:11] [SPEAKER_08]: okay sorry I fooled you

[01:13:13] [SPEAKER_08]: I've actually taken yours we're swapping

[01:13:15] [SPEAKER_08]: and then it's like okay but

[01:13:17] [SPEAKER_08]: he has to stamp that one passport right

[01:13:19] [SPEAKER_08]: for you know to make this official

[01:13:21] [SPEAKER_08]: and she's like he's gonna get away with it

[01:13:23] [SPEAKER_08]: run over there ways have my dad over there

[01:13:25] [SPEAKER_08]: like out of nowhere they're just like oh yeah

[01:13:27] [SPEAKER_08]: by the way there's the dad he's on fucking window

[01:13:29] [SPEAKER_09]: eight you know it's just there here's the other

[01:13:31] [SPEAKER_09]: thing that happens they're like he's gonna get

[01:13:33] [SPEAKER_09]: away with it how do we stop him in time

[01:13:34] [SPEAKER_09]: just goes there is like

[01:13:38] [SPEAKER_09]: just behind the counter and like

[01:13:39] [SPEAKER_09]: right and you're like say goodbye fucker

[01:13:41] [SPEAKER_09]: why is he helping them it's really funny

[01:13:43] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah but okay

[01:13:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I the thing

[01:13:48] [SPEAKER_08]: I love how you and asking

[01:13:49] [SPEAKER_08]: a question like we're gonna have an answer

[01:13:50] [SPEAKER_05]: no but I I love

[01:13:53] [SPEAKER_05]: the lore

[01:13:54] [SPEAKER_05]: that is like

[01:13:56] [SPEAKER_05]: you know hinted

[01:13:59] [SPEAKER_05]: at in the first movie

[01:14:01] [SPEAKER_05]: mm-hmm and then I think

[01:14:03] [SPEAKER_05]: they're they you know recognize

[01:14:05] [SPEAKER_05]: that people do really like the lore

[01:14:07] [SPEAKER_05]: so they're trying to build on

[01:14:09] [SPEAKER_05]: the

[01:14:11] [SPEAKER_05]: way the afterlife works

[01:14:13] [SPEAKER_05]: right with but they're only making it

[01:14:15] [SPEAKER_05]: more confusing the thematic

[01:14:17] [SPEAKER_09]: thing to build upon there is

[01:14:20] [SPEAKER_09]: what decides what

[01:14:21] [SPEAKER_09]: go go where right when you start out

[01:14:24] [SPEAKER_05]: immigration for ghost if it's

[01:14:26] [SPEAKER_05]: isn't like in cocoa where they all come back

[01:14:28] [SPEAKER_05]: and they visit their graves

[01:14:30] [SPEAKER_05]: on the day of the dead to eat on the old friend

[01:14:31] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know what but

[01:14:34] [SPEAKER_05]: like again why if there's there's only

[01:14:36] [SPEAKER_05]: one way a ghost can come back it's

[01:14:38] [SPEAKER_09]: but I see the advertising for this and I'm

[01:14:39] [SPEAKER_09]: like Justin Thoreau is playing

[01:14:41] [SPEAKER_09]: Jen Ortega's dad yeah

[01:14:44] [SPEAKER_09]: does that make sense really

[01:14:45] [SPEAKER_09]: and then I hear like oh no he's

[01:14:47] [SPEAKER_09]: like the new boyfriend her dad is

[01:14:49] [SPEAKER_09]: dead in the movie and I'm like well there's

[01:14:50] [SPEAKER_09]: something here to having like a dead parent

[01:14:53] [SPEAKER_09]: there and like Charles deeds

[01:14:55] [SPEAKER_09]: dead and I like the setup of her being

[01:14:57] [SPEAKER_09]: like if your ghost shits real why can't

[01:14:59] [SPEAKER_09]: you see him I think it's a good hook

[01:15:01] [SPEAKER_09]: and then as you said the movie just at some

[01:15:03] [SPEAKER_09]: point has him go like wait I'm the dad

[01:15:04] [SPEAKER_09]: hey I'm over here by the way no disrespect

[01:15:07] [SPEAKER_09]: I see you Santiago Cabrera

[01:15:09] [SPEAKER_09]: and other roles I think I like largely

[01:15:11] [SPEAKER_09]: that this part is underwritten but

[01:15:13] [SPEAKER_09]: it's like the scene where the three of

[01:15:15] [SPEAKER_09]: them are all in the same like

[01:15:17] [SPEAKER_09]: conference room together what oh my

[01:15:19] [SPEAKER_05]: god

[01:15:21] [SPEAKER_09]: nice to get along yeah you guys

[01:15:23] [SPEAKER_09]: make sense together anyway

[01:15:25] [SPEAKER_09]: I gotta go

[01:15:27] [SPEAKER_09]: no emotional way to the scene where you're

[01:15:29] [SPEAKER_09]: like this should be the whole fucking movies

[01:15:31] [SPEAKER_08]: building up to this because the original

[01:15:33] [SPEAKER_08]: movie is not treakly no

[01:15:35] [SPEAKER_08]: but it does have a sentimentality

[01:15:37] [SPEAKER_08]: to it and that's part of the burden

[01:15:38] [SPEAKER_05]: that struck me about the the sentimental

[01:15:41] [SPEAKER_05]: core with the original

[01:15:43] [SPEAKER_05]: movie rewatching it now is how

[01:15:45] [SPEAKER_05]: sweet the Barbara and Adam

[01:15:47] [SPEAKER_05]: relationship that's what

[01:15:49] [SPEAKER_08]: sort of your rooting for each other

[01:15:51] [SPEAKER_09]: but also when they realize

[01:15:53] [SPEAKER_09]: that Lydia wants to attempt suicide

[01:15:55] [SPEAKER_09]: is writing her suicide note

[01:15:57] [SPEAKER_09]: there they want to save her

[01:15:59] [SPEAKER_05]: but also the fact that they established

[01:16:00] [SPEAKER_05]: their child

[01:16:03] [SPEAKER_05]: childless not by choice

[01:16:05] [SPEAKER_05]: it's like all that stuff but this is all

[01:16:07] [SPEAKER_05]: like simple and you're rooting

[01:16:09] [SPEAKER_08]: for the you know they want to save their house

[01:16:11] [SPEAKER_08]: because they have this nice house they made

[01:16:13] [SPEAKER_08]: and yes they couldn't have kids but it's okay

[01:16:15] [SPEAKER_08]: they still have this lovely house now it's gonna get

[01:16:17] [SPEAKER_08]: taken away from them because they died

[01:16:19] [SPEAKER_08]: and Dealia is absurd and her

[01:16:21] [SPEAKER_09]: makeover of the house is garish

[01:16:23] [SPEAKER_05]: like this isn't a fence but also

[01:16:25] [SPEAKER_05]: okay another

[01:16:27] [SPEAKER_08]: it's just like there's a real movie

[01:16:29] [SPEAKER_08]: and then Beatles shows up in it and it goes

[01:16:31] [SPEAKER_08]: like right but also the characters

[01:16:33] [SPEAKER_05]: even if they're crazy

[01:16:35] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah like dealia yeah

[01:16:37] [SPEAKER_05]: they she does still

[01:16:38] [SPEAKER_05]: feel kind of like a real person

[01:16:40] [SPEAKER_08]: that's the magic of Catherine Herr yes but it's

[01:16:43] [SPEAKER_08]: true like I understand

[01:16:44] [SPEAKER_08]: where as Justin Thoreau in this movie is not

[01:16:47] [SPEAKER_05]: a real person correct and he's funny in this

[01:16:48] [SPEAKER_09]: he's perfectly funny he is funny

[01:16:51] [SPEAKER_09]: but he's not a real person

[01:16:53] [SPEAKER_09]: in a way I'd say even Otho is more of a person

[01:16:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Otho is a real person I like know Otho

[01:16:57] [SPEAKER_04]: of course yes Otho is

[01:16:59] [SPEAKER_04]: like half of Twitter yes

[01:17:01] [SPEAKER_08]: yes I mean

[01:17:02] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean Glenshedex

[01:17:04] [SPEAKER_08]: has left us it's very sad

[01:17:06] [SPEAKER_08]: that he can't be in the movie or whatever

[01:17:07] [SPEAKER_08]: but there's nothing wrong with Justin Thoreau

[01:17:09] [SPEAKER_08]: it just kind of feels like a pitch from 10 years ago

[01:17:11] [SPEAKER_08]: like yeah the therapy speak

[01:17:13] [SPEAKER_08]: fake emotional guy

[01:17:15] [SPEAKER_09]: which feels like another thing of Burton

[01:17:17] [SPEAKER_09]: like coming to terms with how much his thing has

[01:17:19] [SPEAKER_09]: come like kind of commodified

[01:17:21] [SPEAKER_09]: and passé where you're like there's a guy

[01:17:23] [SPEAKER_09]: just rich in your region

[01:17:25] [SPEAKER_08]: that is a huge read that's a good read

[01:17:27] [SPEAKER_08]: I like the idea

[01:17:29] [SPEAKER_09]: what they should be doing is this guy pretending

[01:17:32] [SPEAKER_09]: to be a Burton guy it's more what they should

[01:17:34] [SPEAKER_09]: be doing who basically admits like I go

[01:17:36] [SPEAKER_09]: there like you know I go to

[01:17:38] [SPEAKER_09]: bereavement groups cruising

[01:17:39] [SPEAKER_09]: for sensitive women and then I just was

[01:17:42] [SPEAKER_09]: like I guess if I put on the right clothes

[01:17:44] [SPEAKER_09]: she'll like me

[01:17:45] [SPEAKER_09]: I mean I went to five below my favorite place

[01:17:47] [SPEAKER_09]: to buy cell phone cables charging cables

[01:17:51] [SPEAKER_09]: and liquid

[01:17:51] [SPEAKER_09]: death and obviously we're coming

[01:17:54] [SPEAKER_09]: up on Halloween spooky season

[01:17:55] [SPEAKER_09]: there is truly an aisle they have that

[01:17:58] [SPEAKER_09]: is the Tim Burton aisle

[01:17:59] [SPEAKER_09]: and it's like Wednesday

[01:18:01] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice, Nightmare for Christmas

[01:18:03] [SPEAKER_09]: Corpse Bride and I was just like

[01:18:05] [SPEAKER_09]: there's not a- so is there hands in there?

[01:18:06] [SPEAKER_09]: no there's not a single item in this aisle

[01:18:09] [SPEAKER_09]: that is not from a Tim Burton project

[01:18:12] [SPEAKER_09]: and there's something to

[01:18:13] [SPEAKER_09]: that where you're just like there's nothing

[01:18:15] [SPEAKER_09]: really counter cultural about

[01:18:16] [SPEAKER_09]: Lydia anymore which is why she could

[01:18:19] [SPEAKER_09]: be someone who's on a shitty daytime talk

[01:18:21] [SPEAKER_09]: show you know selling this

[01:18:23] [SPEAKER_09]: version of it that her daughter's embarrassed by

[01:18:25] [SPEAKER_09]: which feels like the stuff

[01:18:27] [SPEAKER_09]: the burdens talked about of like

[01:18:28] [SPEAKER_09]: I feel like Disney just looked at me like a flying

[01:18:31] [SPEAKER_09]: elephant they wanted me to like sell dolls

[01:18:33] [SPEAKER_09]: you know

[01:18:35] [SPEAKER_09]: Gen or take- and it's not really digging into this

[01:18:37] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah what do you think of Gen or take

[01:18:39] [SPEAKER_08]: it's so weird that

[01:18:40] [SPEAKER_08]: maybe this is just an old guy complaining

[01:18:42] [SPEAKER_08]: it's like Christina Ricci is Wednesday

[01:18:46] [SPEAKER_08]: like that's such

[01:18:47] [SPEAKER_08]: a definitive performance

[01:18:49] [SPEAKER_08]: it's like it's a generation

[01:18:50] [SPEAKER_08]: of like you know sarcastic

[01:18:53] [SPEAKER_08]: off girls right and now I'm just looking

[01:18:55] [SPEAKER_08]: at five below's t-shirts and there's Gen or take

[01:18:57] [SPEAKER_08]: as Wednesday and I'm like right she's Wednesday

[01:18:59] [SPEAKER_08]: it says I'm not weird everyone else's

[01:19:01] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't like right if you're 12 years old

[01:19:03] [SPEAKER_08]: maybe you want that I don't get her

[01:19:04] [SPEAKER_08]: you don't get Gen or take I get her

[01:19:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought she popped in X

[01:19:08] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah I think she pops in scream

[01:19:11] [SPEAKER_05]: and X I haven't seen scream

[01:19:13] [SPEAKER_05]: but with the pop in X the whole

[01:19:15] [SPEAKER_08]: thing with scream is scream

[01:19:17] [SPEAKER_08]: we're referring of course to scream 5

[01:19:19] [SPEAKER_08]: essentially you know is there two movies

[01:19:21] [SPEAKER_08]: called one of my least favorite trends

[01:19:22] [SPEAKER_08]: the movie does make fun of it within the

[01:19:25] [SPEAKER_08]: movie which is funny

[01:19:26] [SPEAKER_08]: Jack Quaid has a long

[01:19:28] [SPEAKER_08]: rambling monologue about how knowing it is

[01:19:30] [SPEAKER_08]: that people do that can you imagine if Beedlejuice

[01:19:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Beedlejuice was called Beedlejuice

[01:19:34] [SPEAKER_08]: parenthetical 2024

[01:19:36] [SPEAKER_08]: in scream 5 the movie

[01:19:38] [SPEAKER_08]: the trailer I remember showed us like

[01:19:40] [SPEAKER_08]: ghost faces like using an app

[01:19:42] [SPEAKER_08]: and I was like

[01:19:44] [SPEAKER_08]: they're bringing back scream for this garbage

[01:19:46] [SPEAKER_08]: right and then the movie

[01:19:48] [SPEAKER_08]: I watched the movie and no one seemed

[01:19:50] [SPEAKER_08]: to scream 5 I'm the only one

[01:19:52] [SPEAKER_08]: I've only seen the first one ages hanging out today

[01:19:54] [SPEAKER_09]: what are you talking about ages not here

[01:19:56] [SPEAKER_08]: only I can see him

[01:19:58] [SPEAKER_08]: of course

[01:19:59] [SPEAKER_08]: set this bit up 90 minutes ago

[01:20:02] [SPEAKER_08]: Jenna Hade off

[01:20:03] [SPEAKER_08]: Gen or take a sort of in the Drew Barrymore

[01:20:06] [SPEAKER_08]: role she picks up the phone

[01:20:07] [SPEAKER_08]: and it's ghost face I like scary movies

[01:20:10] [SPEAKER_08]: and she's like I don't really like that stuff

[01:20:13] [SPEAKER_08]: I like elevated horror I like the Baba

[01:20:15] [SPEAKER_08]: Duke and stuff and it's like

[01:20:16] [SPEAKER_08]: in the hands of someone else that would be

[01:20:18] [SPEAKER_08]: so hacky and with her I mean

[01:20:20] [SPEAKER_08]: I was like I don't know who this is

[01:20:22] [SPEAKER_08]: the girl from Iron Man 3 I was like

[01:20:24] [SPEAKER_08]: this girl's funny this is working

[01:20:26] [SPEAKER_09]: Miguel for her daughter

[01:20:28] [SPEAKER_08]: that was your highest opening Griffin

[01:20:30] [SPEAKER_05]: trivia question that were you there for that

[01:20:32] [SPEAKER_05]: must not have been oh well we got it right

[01:20:34] [SPEAKER_08]: okay um I'm proud

[01:20:36] [SPEAKER_08]: immediately she pops the only the biggest problem

[01:20:39] [SPEAKER_08]: with screen 5 is there's not much of her in it

[01:20:40] [SPEAKER_08]: because they don't know what they have on their

[01:20:42] [SPEAKER_08]: hands in a way I do kind of like her

[01:20:44] [SPEAKER_09]: I haven't watched Wednesday which is obviously

[01:20:46] [SPEAKER_09]: her definitive thing and I haven't seen the screen movies

[01:20:48] [SPEAKER_09]: so it's primarily X

[01:20:50] [SPEAKER_09]: and this and seeing some of her fucking

[01:20:52] [SPEAKER_09]: interview appearances or whatever

[01:20:54] [SPEAKER_09]: she is one of those people who makes me feel

[01:20:56] [SPEAKER_09]: 8 million years

[01:20:58] [SPEAKER_09]: old sure where I'm like yeah I get

[01:21:00] [SPEAKER_09]: it and then I hear that young people

[01:21:02] [SPEAKER_09]: look at her the same way that we looked

[01:21:04] [SPEAKER_09]: at Christina Ricci and Winona Ryder

[01:21:06] [SPEAKER_09]: but we're like she must make sense

[01:21:08] [SPEAKER_09]: right where we were just like

[01:21:10] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah Brepp, she says

[01:21:12] [SPEAKER_09]: how I feel she's got bangs

[01:21:15] [SPEAKER_09]: she's frowning

[01:21:16] [SPEAKER_09]: I identify

[01:21:17] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm not saying she's like doing an imitation of them

[01:21:20] [SPEAKER_09]: but I'm like wait it's that kind of thing

[01:21:22] [SPEAKER_09]: I get it and I do think she speaks that deeply

[01:21:25] [SPEAKER_09]: to a generation

[01:21:25] [SPEAKER_09]: and I've even like heard people like

[01:21:28] [SPEAKER_08]: it's one of those right we're just like right

[01:21:30] [SPEAKER_08]: this is just not for us

[01:21:31] [SPEAKER_08]: but like I get that she's

[01:21:34] [SPEAKER_08]: good on screen

[01:21:35] [SPEAKER_08]: I think she's natural

[01:21:37] [SPEAKER_08]: you don't like her at all you're just like

[01:21:39] [SPEAKER_08]: when she's on screen and Beetlejuice

[01:21:43] [SPEAKER_08]: whatever

[01:21:44] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm asking you Marie

[01:21:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I honestly think that I don't know any actor

[01:21:48] [SPEAKER_05]: who could have made some of the stuff she has to say

[01:21:50] [SPEAKER_05]: sound good

[01:21:52] [SPEAKER_08]: she's in you? she did a you season

[01:21:54] [SPEAKER_08]: season 2

[01:21:56] [SPEAKER_08]: of you

[01:21:57] [SPEAKER_05]: like the whole like

[01:22:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Marie Curie

[01:22:02] [SPEAKER_05]: my costume

[01:22:03] [SPEAKER_05]: after she got radium poisoning

[01:22:05] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah I was

[01:22:08] [SPEAKER_08]: we could have plus that up guys

[01:22:10] [SPEAKER_08]: like that's not the right obscure

[01:22:12] [SPEAKER_08]: reference it's a little too obvious in a way

[01:22:14] [SPEAKER_08]: it's also not like

[01:22:16] [SPEAKER_08]: creepy it's also not funny

[01:22:17] [SPEAKER_08]: she's just wearing an old dress like I'm like

[01:22:19] [SPEAKER_08]: why can't you be wearing something kind of gory

[01:22:21] [SPEAKER_09]: they don't want her to be little Lydia

[01:22:23] [SPEAKER_08]: but like not to mention the Boba Duke again but the perfect version

[01:22:26] [SPEAKER_08]: of that joke is Katie Dippel's tweet

[01:22:27] [SPEAKER_08]: about how she went to the Halloween party

[01:22:30] [SPEAKER_08]: dressed as the Boba Duke and it was more

[01:22:32] [SPEAKER_08]: of a wine and cheese

[01:22:33] [SPEAKER_05]: we have to talk about the

[01:22:36] [SPEAKER_05]: sort of the strays that Millie

[01:22:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Bobby Brown caught during the publicity

[01:22:40] [SPEAKER_05]: tour for this movie

[01:22:42] [SPEAKER_08]: wait I'm sorry what the fuck about Millie

[01:22:44] [SPEAKER_08]: oh the Burton was like

[01:22:45] [SPEAKER_08]: Jen Ortega actually has taste that's so wonderful

[01:22:48] [SPEAKER_08]: whatever

[01:22:49] [SPEAKER_09]: I would look with young actors who don't really like movies

[01:22:52] [SPEAKER_09]: and then all the boys from Stranger Things were like

[01:22:54] [SPEAKER_09]: we like movies

[01:22:56] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah

[01:22:58] [SPEAKER_08]: and then Millie Bobby Brown like

[01:23:00] [SPEAKER_08]: went live on TikTok and was like is he a flat though

[01:23:02] [SPEAKER_08]: what's going on she's pretty straight

[01:23:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I think she's like kind of lost her out

[01:23:06] [SPEAKER_08]: it's one of those weird things where

[01:23:08] [SPEAKER_08]: she doesn't even know what her voice is

[01:23:09] [SPEAKER_05]: David do you know that she's married to John Bon Jovi's son

[01:23:12] [SPEAKER_05]: so it hurts

[01:23:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Millie Bobby Brown

[01:23:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Millie Bobby Brown is a more

[01:23:18] [SPEAKER_08]: advanced version of Jen Ortega for me

[01:23:20] [SPEAKER_08]: I've seen Jen Ortega in various films

[01:23:21] [SPEAKER_08]: I've seen Millie Bobby Brown in the Godzilla movies

[01:23:24] [SPEAKER_08]: she's in those right and that is it

[01:23:26] [SPEAKER_08]: like I never saw Stranger Things

[01:23:28] [SPEAKER_08]: and I haven't seen anything else she's done

[01:23:29] [SPEAKER_08]: so she is one of those people where I'm like

[01:23:31] [SPEAKER_08]: I know she's hugely famous I have no sense of anything

[01:23:34] [SPEAKER_08]: about her I feel more

[01:23:35] [SPEAKER_08]: I just know she's a flat earth or flirted with it

[01:23:38] [SPEAKER_08]: get it

[01:23:38] [SPEAKER_05]: she doesn't have any education

[01:23:41] [SPEAKER_05]: she was like you know

[01:23:43] [SPEAKER_05]: put to work at the age of 10

[01:23:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I know it's true she's toiling in the Netflix line

[01:23:48] [SPEAKER_08]: the Duffers are like get to work

[01:23:50] [SPEAKER_09]: 11

[01:23:51] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm thinking of William Holden describing Faye Dunaway

[01:23:54] [SPEAKER_09]: to be a Tristrade in Network and going

[01:23:56] [SPEAKER_09]: she doesn't know anything she was raised by Netflix

[01:23:58] [SPEAKER_09]: you know when he goes like she's a child

[01:24:00] [SPEAKER_09]: of bugs funny

[01:24:01] [SPEAKER_09]: it's just really the greatest

[01:24:02] [SPEAKER_09]: it's the funniest

[01:24:04] [SPEAKER_09]: the Kady Dipple

[01:24:05] [SPEAKER_05]: but that was even I mean

[01:24:08] [SPEAKER_09]: I was trying to make story sense of this movie

[01:24:11] [SPEAKER_09]: and go oh they're clearly doing this

[01:24:12] [SPEAKER_09]: so this could pay off later and I'm like

[01:24:14] [SPEAKER_09]: her Halloween costume is Marie Curie

[01:24:17] [SPEAKER_09]: with

[01:24:18] [SPEAKER_09]: Radiation Poisoning because that coloring

[01:24:20] [SPEAKER_09]: kind of makes her look like the established

[01:24:23] [SPEAKER_09]: dead look

[01:24:24] [SPEAKER_09]: right so it's gonna be a thing where she's in the afterworld

[01:24:26] [SPEAKER_09]: but she's not dead but she's able to sneak by

[01:24:29] [SPEAKER_09]: you're kind of classic

[01:24:30] [SPEAKER_09]: Coco they face paint

[01:24:31] [SPEAKER_09]: the skull face on him thing and it was like no

[01:24:34] [SPEAKER_09]: they're just gonna kind of kill her and bring her back to life

[01:24:37] [SPEAKER_09]: and then

[01:24:38] [SPEAKER_05]: okay wait so some stuff we have to talk about

[01:24:40] [SPEAKER_08]: still yeah what is

[01:24:42] [SPEAKER_08]: we've gone through the plot out of order

[01:24:44] [SPEAKER_08]: the soul train

[01:24:45] [SPEAKER_08]: I thought that was funny

[01:24:47] [SPEAKER_08]: this is all the stuff I want

[01:24:48] [SPEAKER_05]: but I'm also like

[01:24:51] [SPEAKER_08]: it's a little bit of an old joke

[01:24:53] [SPEAKER_08]: but I just was like anything where it's like

[01:24:55] [SPEAKER_08]: there's production value people are moving around

[01:24:58] [SPEAKER_08]: the camera is interested in this

[01:24:59] [SPEAKER_08]: concept yes like I'm like good

[01:25:01] [SPEAKER_08]: good that's fun

[01:25:03] [SPEAKER_08]: the MacArthur park sequence I thought was really funny

[01:25:06] [SPEAKER_08]: like it does go on a bit long

[01:25:08] [SPEAKER_08]: but MacArthur park goes on long

[01:25:10] [SPEAKER_08]: that's the joke right no

[01:25:12] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah no I yeah

[01:25:13] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought it was funny they're all lip syncing

[01:25:16] [SPEAKER_05]: but I don't think there's as much of a fun

[01:25:18] [SPEAKER_05]: disconnect between MacArthur park

[01:25:20] [SPEAKER_05]: and maybe not

[01:25:22] [SPEAKER_05]: and the calypso

[01:25:23] [SPEAKER_05]: song with the New York art hipsters

[01:25:26] [SPEAKER_08]: I think what's funny

[01:25:28] [SPEAKER_08]: I was I was sitting in my alamo being like

[01:25:30] [SPEAKER_08]: how many people know that this song is

[01:25:31] [SPEAKER_08]: MacArthur park and know what that is

[01:25:33] [SPEAKER_08]: and like you know is that resonating for anyone

[01:25:35] [SPEAKER_08]: versus dayo where it's like

[01:25:37] [SPEAKER_08]: kind of everybody grows up with that right

[01:25:39] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah the thing I like about it is that it feels

[01:25:41] [SPEAKER_09]: like the sequences Beetlejuice being like

[01:25:43] [SPEAKER_09]: I want to show off because of course

[01:25:45] [SPEAKER_09]: dayo is the mate lens

[01:25:48] [SPEAKER_09]: possessing

[01:25:49] [SPEAKER_09]: them to sort of like freak them

[01:25:51] [SPEAKER_09]: out and the comedy of that sequence is them

[01:25:53] [SPEAKER_09]: they love it right well they love it but also

[01:25:55] [SPEAKER_09]: they're like what the fuck is going on in my body

[01:25:58] [SPEAKER_09]: right they're like every

[01:25:59] [SPEAKER_09]: actor at that table is so including Dick

[01:26:01] [SPEAKER_09]: Cavett is so skillfully playing

[01:26:04] [SPEAKER_09]: this thing of being like

[01:26:05] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm a ham performing this song

[01:26:07] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm confused why my body

[01:26:09] [SPEAKER_09]: is doing this and I'm kind of having fun

[01:26:11] [SPEAKER_09]: with it uh MacArthur park

[01:26:13] [SPEAKER_09]: feels like Beetlejuice getting to do his

[01:26:15] [SPEAKER_09]: shit I know it's kind of funny

[01:26:17] [SPEAKER_09]: and just it's watching Keaton do shit

[01:26:20] [SPEAKER_07]: yeah

[01:26:22] [SPEAKER_07]: what is that isn't it the

[01:26:23] [SPEAKER_09]: birthday song

[01:26:25] [SPEAKER_09]: another bit we tried to set up 90 minutes ago

[01:26:27] [SPEAKER_09]: and we couldn't figure out a good angle

[01:26:30] [SPEAKER_05]: what would your Beetlejuice song be

[01:26:32] [SPEAKER_08]: like I have to do a dance number

[01:26:34] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm going to make people

[01:26:35] [SPEAKER_05]: lipstick oh it has to be something throwback

[01:26:37] [SPEAKER_09]: but not me I'm making other people correct

[01:26:40] [SPEAKER_07]: there is a really

[01:26:41] [SPEAKER_07]: specific it's a really good question

[01:26:43] [SPEAKER_07]: curation thinking on it that I can't

[01:26:45] [SPEAKER_07]: necessarily put my finger on it right it's throwbacky

[01:26:48] [SPEAKER_07]: but it also it's

[01:26:50] [SPEAKER_07]: it's like novelty

[01:26:52] [SPEAKER_08]: maybe a little novelty

[01:26:53] [SPEAKER_09]: MacArthur park does kind of feel like the right move though

[01:26:56] [SPEAKER_09]: in that it's not doing like

[01:26:58] [SPEAKER_09]: a different calypso song

[01:27:00] [SPEAKER_09]: it's from a different era it's a different

[01:27:02] [SPEAKER_09]: style but it has the right sort of cultural

[01:27:04] [SPEAKER_09]: place Jimmy Buffett

[01:27:06] [SPEAKER_08]: I guess so he's kind of overdone

[01:27:08] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah

[01:27:09] [SPEAKER_05]: but you also have to think about who are the people that are

[01:27:12] [SPEAKER_05]: like who are the people

[01:27:14] [SPEAKER_05]: that are doing the lip syncing

[01:27:16] [SPEAKER_05]: because it has to be something that's really got to throw them

[01:27:20] [SPEAKER_09]: something like

[01:27:21] [SPEAKER_09]: really really

[01:27:23] [SPEAKER_09]: random like totos

[01:27:25] [SPEAKER_09]: africa

[01:27:26] [SPEAKER_09]: like some random people

[01:27:28] [SPEAKER_09]: be like where the fuck you even find this song

[01:27:31] [SPEAKER_08]: just kind of too random

[01:27:32] [SPEAKER_09]: the kind of song where if you put it in any movie

[01:27:34] [SPEAKER_09]: I can only watch this on tiktok

[01:27:36] [SPEAKER_08]: next to someone playing an iphone game

[01:27:37] [SPEAKER_09]: and if we use our plays we're all going to laugh so hard

[01:27:43] we're stumped

[01:27:44] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm just going to say patty smith's because

[01:27:46] [SPEAKER_08]: the night

[01:27:47] [SPEAKER_05]: that's good

[01:27:49] [SPEAKER_08]: it's the first thing that came to my head and I'm not letting it go

[01:27:51] [SPEAKER_05]: mine would be bloodhound gang's bad touch

[01:27:54] [SPEAKER_08]: come on Eileen maybe is my choice

[01:27:57] [SPEAKER_08]: koolio's gangsters paradise

[01:28:00] [SPEAKER_08]: I think bloodhound gang's bad touch is an interesting

[01:28:02] [SPEAKER_08]: choice in that you watch that

[01:28:04] [SPEAKER_08]: now and I have watched that music video

[01:28:07] [SPEAKER_08]: in the last two or three months

[01:28:08] [SPEAKER_08]: I watch a lot of music videos on youtube

[01:28:09] [SPEAKER_08]: and my wife was like

[01:28:11] [SPEAKER_08]: what

[01:28:12] [SPEAKER_08]: what created this

[01:28:14] [SPEAKER_08]: what movements in music let us hear

[01:28:17] [SPEAKER_08]: and then was this replica

[01:28:19] [SPEAKER_08]: no it's an absolute cultural

[01:28:21] [SPEAKER_08]: who are these people

[01:28:23] [SPEAKER_08]: they're a rap group

[01:28:25] [SPEAKER_08]: they're a rap group

[01:28:27] [SPEAKER_08]: and like

[01:28:29] [SPEAKER_08]: they did essentially their version of a novelty song

[01:28:32] [SPEAKER_08]: and it was kind of their only giant hit

[01:28:34] [SPEAKER_08]: but they also weren't like a comedy band

[01:28:36] [SPEAKER_08]: not really

[01:28:37] [SPEAKER_08]: but they sort of were

[01:28:38] [SPEAKER_08]: they were funny

[01:28:39] [SPEAKER_09]: I mean their album was called a rape for booby

[01:28:42] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah

[01:28:43] [SPEAKER_09]: and for younger listeners out there

[01:28:45] [SPEAKER_09]: here's the experience of listening

[01:28:47] [SPEAKER_08]: there were fucking 19 tracks on a rape for booby

[01:28:50] [SPEAKER_08]: the experience of listening to a rape for booby

[01:28:53] [SPEAKER_09]: some of these better be skits

[01:28:54] [SPEAKER_09]: the printing, the artwork

[01:28:55] [SPEAKER_09]: on the physical CD

[01:28:58] [SPEAKER_09]: itself looked like a booby

[01:29:00] [SPEAKER_09]: and if you put it in a player

[01:29:02] [SPEAKER_09]: it was like the hub of the player

[01:29:04] [SPEAKER_09]: would look like the nipple

[01:29:05] [SPEAKER_09]: that was the gag

[01:29:06] [SPEAKER_09]: there was a kind of a disc based

[01:29:09] [SPEAKER_08]: joke

[01:29:10] [SPEAKER_08]: I remember they had that song

[01:29:14] [SPEAKER_08]: I absolutely

[01:29:15] [SPEAKER_08]: don't remember that

[01:29:16] [SPEAKER_07]: it was kind of making fun of like

[01:29:19] [SPEAKER_07]: Euro, like dance music

[01:29:22] [SPEAKER_08]: it's just one of those things where you watch another

[01:29:24] [SPEAKER_08]: you're like ah well you know what was happening here

[01:29:26] [SPEAKER_08]: was they're kind of

[01:29:27] [SPEAKER_08]: part of this continuum

[01:29:28] [SPEAKER_05]: one thing I'm learning on that touch

[01:29:30] [SPEAKER_07]: I mean when Biscuit to Bloodhound

[01:29:33] [SPEAKER_07]: gang there's some

[01:29:35] [SPEAKER_07]: kind of

[01:29:36] [SPEAKER_05]: and also at the same time had Tom Green

[01:29:39] [SPEAKER_05]: blowing up with the white bum

[01:29:41] [SPEAKER_08]: that song kind of

[01:29:43] [SPEAKER_08]: it does

[01:29:44] [SPEAKER_09]: oh well this was the second and last album

[01:29:47] [SPEAKER_09]: to feature drummer Spinky G

[01:29:49] [SPEAKER_09]: who left the band

[01:29:51] [SPEAKER_09]: to finish his studies

[01:29:53] [SPEAKER_09]: the fact that we were

[01:30:00] [SPEAKER_07]: the fact that

[01:30:01] [SPEAKER_07]: the fact that we are reading Bloodhound

[01:30:02] [SPEAKER_07]: gang's Wikipedia is not a good sign

[01:30:04] [SPEAKER_07]: that doesn't say

[01:30:05] [SPEAKER_09]: they didn't release another album for six years after that

[01:30:09] [SPEAKER_09]: alright Beelge's Beelge

[01:30:10] [SPEAKER_09]: is a huge hit

[01:30:11] [SPEAKER_08]: like in this like I'm like they have guitars

[01:30:14] [SPEAKER_08]: that's sort of news to me

[01:30:16] [SPEAKER_08]: three of them have guitars right here

[01:30:18] [SPEAKER_08]: in this picture of them performing

[01:30:20] [SPEAKER_08]: wait the one guy looks hot

[01:30:21] [SPEAKER_05]: there are 19 tracks because there were a bunch of

[01:31:18] [SPEAKER_08]: here she is yep

[01:31:21] [SPEAKER_08]: let's try and pivot back to Beelge

[01:31:25] [SPEAKER_08]: lady vibe

[01:31:26] [SPEAKER_08]: so it's kind of fun

[01:31:27] [SPEAKER_08]: remember the Chewbacca mask lady

[01:31:29] [SPEAKER_09]: we tried to get her on George Lucas talk show

[01:31:32] [SPEAKER_09]: and she was too busy

[01:31:36] [SPEAKER_05]: with like normal life stuff

[01:31:38] [SPEAKER_05]: like she's got kids right

[01:31:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I think we were trying to get her

[01:31:42] [SPEAKER_09]: I think my memory

[01:31:44] [SPEAKER_09]: we were trying to get her to do something for a

[01:31:46] [SPEAKER_09]: May the fourth show

[01:31:47] [SPEAKER_09]: and her response was hey couple follow ups

[01:31:50] [SPEAKER_09]: A how much does this pay

[01:31:53] [SPEAKER_09]: and B

[01:31:53] [SPEAKER_09]: how long would you need me for this is kind of my busy season

[01:31:57] [SPEAKER_09]: because it's May the fourth every May fourth

[01:32:00] [SPEAKER_09]: she's just like striking that

[01:32:02] [SPEAKER_09]: iron again good for her

[01:32:10] [SPEAKER_08]: like whatever either is fine yep

[01:32:12] [SPEAKER_07]: the snake business

[01:32:14] [SPEAKER_08]: that's kind of fun

[01:32:15] [SPEAKER_09]: everything with the earlier I think it's fun

[01:32:17] [SPEAKER_08]: the snake thing made me laugh a lot

[01:32:19] [SPEAKER_08]: because it felt like

[01:32:21] [SPEAKER_08]: a real good middle finger to

[01:32:23] [SPEAKER_08]: legacy equals of like

[01:32:25] [SPEAKER_08]: oh by the way we're just going to kill her off

[01:32:27] [SPEAKER_08]: literally by mistake

[01:32:29] [SPEAKER_09]: as a joke it's the one part where I want

[01:32:31] [SPEAKER_09]: to give this movie credit for some of its

[01:32:33] [SPEAKER_09]: sloppiness that its sloppiness almost

[01:32:35] [SPEAKER_09]: feels like I don't think

[01:32:37] [SPEAKER_09]: a pointed satire of that kind of

[01:32:39] [SPEAKER_09]: legacy bullshit but just an attitude of like

[01:32:41] [SPEAKER_09]: we don't really give a fuck

[01:32:43] [SPEAKER_09]: we're not taking this too seriously

[01:32:45] [SPEAKER_09]: I find this movie to be such a relief

[01:32:47] [SPEAKER_09]: in that all the ways in which it's bad

[01:32:49] [SPEAKER_09]: do not drive me insane

[01:32:51] [SPEAKER_09]: in the way of ghostbusters after life

[01:32:54] [SPEAKER_09]: of like this is so

[01:32:55] [SPEAKER_09]: important like this movie's just people being

[01:32:57] [SPEAKER_08]: like I don't know to be to be clear and I

[01:32:59] [SPEAKER_08]: should say this I've been said I had

[01:33:01] [SPEAKER_08]: my wife just said twins right six weeks

[01:33:03] [SPEAKER_08]: ago you're dropping this news for the first time on this episode

[01:33:05] [SPEAKER_08]: yes we'll just be it'll just more like baby baby

[01:33:07] [SPEAKER_08]: David fucking telling me

[01:33:09] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm hearing this right now for the first time

[01:33:11] [SPEAKER_09]: is this true wow what is there to say

[01:33:13] [SPEAKER_08]: David oh sorry wait

[01:33:15] [SPEAKER_07]: you have a wife

[01:33:17] [SPEAKER_08]: have I said on my

[01:33:18] [SPEAKER_08]: how insane it is that

[01:33:20] [SPEAKER_08]: one of the funniest memes of recent years

[01:33:21] [SPEAKER_08]: which is Trump saying you know doing the ear

[01:33:23] [SPEAKER_08]: is about one of the worst things that

[01:33:25] [SPEAKER_08]: happened to America

[01:33:27] [SPEAKER_09]: I've been using it a lot in our group text

[01:33:29] [SPEAKER_09]: it's really funny you give it a haha stamp every time

[01:33:31] [SPEAKER_09]: it's because it makes me laugh but you're like anyway

[01:33:33] [SPEAKER_09]: the fact he's holding the finger behind your butt

[01:33:35] [SPEAKER_09]: wait a second David can you repeat this

[01:33:37] [SPEAKER_08]: people may have noticed that I like stopped reviewing movies

[01:33:39] [SPEAKER_08]: and that I didn't go to Toronto

[01:33:41] [SPEAKER_08]: and that the episodes have been

[01:33:43] [SPEAKER_08]: recorded out of order

[01:33:44] [SPEAKER_08]: and my thesis was you just don't like movies anymore

[01:33:47] [SPEAKER_08]: and I've been really filming that for several months

[01:33:49] [SPEAKER_08]: right but no it's because

[01:33:51] [SPEAKER_08]: my wife just had twins she had them early

[01:33:54] [SPEAKER_08]: they're doing okay

[01:33:55] [SPEAKER_08]: b-bop in rocks daddy that's right

[01:33:57] [SPEAKER_08]: so this is but this is my first

[01:33:59] [SPEAKER_08]: this was my first my point being

[01:34:02] [SPEAKER_09]: twin boys he didn't name

[01:34:03] [SPEAKER_09]: them Griffin and Ben we pitched it it was right there

[01:34:08] [SPEAKER_08]: my point being

[01:34:09] [SPEAKER_08]: this was my first film in theaters since they were born

[01:34:12] [SPEAKER_08]: right and

[01:34:14] [SPEAKER_08]: I really yeah you haven't seen a movie in a month

[01:34:16] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah I mean I've seen movies on my television

[01:34:18] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah I don't really consider that

[01:34:19] [SPEAKER_08]: seeing a movie I consider that watching a movie

[01:34:22] [SPEAKER_08]: but so I had to like

[01:34:24] [SPEAKER_08]: basically just kind of rush out of the house to

[01:34:26] [SPEAKER_08]: the Alamo draft house near my home

[01:34:27] [SPEAKER_08]: to see this film and I truly

[01:34:30] [SPEAKER_08]: was just like I truly appreciated

[01:34:32] [SPEAKER_08]: that it is short

[01:34:34] [SPEAKER_08]: you know not like 82 minutes

[01:34:36] [SPEAKER_08]: but it's brisk 97 yeah

[01:34:38] [SPEAKER_08]: they're dropping the check you know and you're like oh shit

[01:34:40] [SPEAKER_08]: okay we're almost done okay

[01:34:42] [SPEAKER_08]: uh it's light

[01:34:46] it's

[01:34:46] [SPEAKER_08]: often funny

[01:34:48] [SPEAKER_08]: it's

[01:34:49] [SPEAKER_08]: energy is high it doesn't hurt

[01:34:51] [SPEAKER_08]: it is not self serious it's right

[01:34:54] [SPEAKER_08]: it's not doing jerky legacy

[01:34:56] [SPEAKER_08]: cool stuff of like oh

[01:34:58] [SPEAKER_08]: you can't believe it but

[01:35:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Bob is back or what you know whatever the

[01:35:02] [SPEAKER_08]: fuck and my audience

[01:35:04] [SPEAKER_08]: was laughing a packed audience

[01:35:06] [SPEAKER_08]: by the way I whatever

[01:35:08] [SPEAKER_05]: that affected my viewing experience

[01:35:10] [SPEAKER_08]: I want to know about that in a second

[01:35:12] [SPEAKER_08]: and I just walked out of there being like

[01:35:14] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah that was cute I had a good time

[01:35:15] [SPEAKER_08]: cute was the line C plus B minus you know whatever

[01:35:18] [SPEAKER_09]: and it's worth saying once again

[01:35:20] [SPEAKER_09]: is probably going to end up being Burton's

[01:35:21] [SPEAKER_09]: second highest grossing film of all time behind

[01:35:24] [SPEAKER_09]: checks notes here eyes rolling back

[01:35:26] [SPEAKER_09]: of head Alice in Wonderland

[01:35:27] [SPEAKER_09]: where did you see it Marie

[01:35:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I saw it at the Curzon Aldgate

[01:35:33] [SPEAKER_08]: I didn't know they

[01:35:34] [SPEAKER_08]: had a theater in Aldgate but I would say

[01:35:36] [SPEAKER_08]: right Aldgate is not exactly where like

[01:35:38] [SPEAKER_08]: it in at least in my

[01:35:40] [SPEAKER_08]: memory of London where like things are happening

[01:35:42] [SPEAKER_08]: well this is like a very fancy theater yes

[01:35:44] [SPEAKER_05]: it was very fancy and it was

[01:35:46] [SPEAKER_05]: like part of a whole like so

[01:35:48] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah that's a lot of like a tuxedo

[01:35:50] [SPEAKER_09]: the gentleman with

[01:35:52] [SPEAKER_09]: tea and trumpets going well

[01:35:54] [SPEAKER_09]: I never every time Beetlejuice showed up

[01:35:56] [SPEAKER_05]: there were like maybe like 12 people

[01:35:58] [SPEAKER_05]: in the theater sure

[01:36:00] [SPEAKER_05]: no one left I will also

[01:36:02] [SPEAKER_08]: say Beetlejuice is not I feel like

[01:36:04] [SPEAKER_08]: as much of a thing in Britain I was going to

[01:36:06] [SPEAKER_08]: ask I don't know he doesn't really have much cultural

[01:36:08] [SPEAKER_08]: footprint

[01:36:10] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm serious and like and so there might not

[01:36:12] [SPEAKER_08]: be excitement about that

[01:36:14] [SPEAKER_08]: movie there might not be the place

[01:36:16] [SPEAKER_08]: to see it because I saw it with a packed audience

[01:36:18] [SPEAKER_08]: it's not like they were screaming but they were

[01:36:20] [SPEAKER_08]: laughing the whole time they were having a good

[01:36:22] [SPEAKER_08]: time I think our I had a half way

[01:36:24] [SPEAKER_09]: between the two points and yet we

[01:36:26] [SPEAKER_09]: saw it like Wednesday night

[01:36:28] [SPEAKER_09]: early access greening

[01:36:29] [SPEAKER_09]: we did see it Wednesday Adams where did you

[01:36:32] [SPEAKER_09]: see it we saw it at the

[01:36:33] [SPEAKER_09]: Regal Union Square in RPX it was like

[01:36:36] [SPEAKER_09]: the one early screening they had you know ticketed

[01:36:38] [SPEAKER_09]: event but like we're showing it one

[01:36:40] [SPEAKER_09]: day early and I point

[01:36:42] [SPEAKER_09]: out to Ben I think 30 to 40% of

[01:36:44] [SPEAKER_09]: the audience was wearing something

[01:36:46] [SPEAKER_09]: Beetlejuice themed a lot of stripes

[01:36:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh and of course missed

[01:36:50] [SPEAKER_07]: sir sort of the early part

[01:36:52] [SPEAKER_07]: of the movie he was the opening credits

[01:36:54] [SPEAKER_07]: trying to get the bucket line was very

[01:36:56] [SPEAKER_09]: long you didn't get the bucket I got the bucket

[01:37:02] [SPEAKER_05]: recent oh that makes me happy

[01:37:04] [SPEAKER_09]: I have about four more buckets to collect I

[01:37:05] [SPEAKER_09]: appreciate the buckets are more steeped in the

[01:37:07] [SPEAKER_09]: iconography of the first movie than the sequel

[01:37:09] [SPEAKER_09]: specifically I'm not sure I'd buy a wolf Jackson

[01:37:11] [SPEAKER_09]: bucket but hey that having been said

[01:37:14] [SPEAKER_08]: what's he doing

[01:38:18] [SPEAKER_08]: to Twitter for that no don't do it

[01:38:21] [SPEAKER_08]: can I float a take

[01:38:22] [SPEAKER_09]: that I believe I've auditioned for both

[01:38:24] [SPEAKER_09]: Ben and Marie in the past

[01:38:27] [SPEAKER_09]: I've been building up to this moment

[01:38:29] [SPEAKER_09]: and I you know what

[01:38:30] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm just putting it out I'm not even saying this is

[01:38:32] [SPEAKER_09]: my belief I want the listeners

[01:38:34] [SPEAKER_09]: to do with this what they will

[01:38:36] [SPEAKER_09]: you are now a father of three

[01:38:38] [SPEAKER_09]: I asked this question to the public

[01:38:41] [SPEAKER_09]: is

[01:38:43] [SPEAKER_09]: David Shrek

[01:38:45] [SPEAKER_08]: let's look building

[01:38:46] [SPEAKER_08]: up to the facts okay

[01:38:49] [SPEAKER_09]: he's got an annoying little friend who won't

[01:38:51] [SPEAKER_09]: stop talking

[01:38:54] [SPEAKER_05]: a tall beautiful wife

[01:38:56] [SPEAKER_09]: yes similarly tall

[01:38:58] [SPEAKER_09]: he is constantly yelling

[01:39:00] [SPEAKER_09]: for everyone to stay on his swamp

[01:39:02] [SPEAKER_09]: that's so true

[01:39:05] [SPEAKER_08]: this is my home

[01:39:07] [SPEAKER_08]: you're welcome over

[01:39:08] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm just but you're saying I kind of

[01:39:10] [SPEAKER_09]: and the same begrudging way he says to Pinocchio

[01:39:12] [SPEAKER_09]: fine I guess you can stay for dinner

[01:39:14] [SPEAKER_09]: no memory of that but sure

[01:39:15] [SPEAKER_09]: Ben is putting boots

[01:39:16] [SPEAKER_09]: okay sure yeah like just confident

[01:39:20] [SPEAKER_05]: we couldn't align on someone for me

[01:39:22] [SPEAKER_09]: no it's tough Marie it's a tough fit

[01:39:23] [SPEAKER_09]: you could argue she's very godmother

[01:39:25] [SPEAKER_05]: isn't she evil

[01:39:28] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah far quad

[01:39:30] [SPEAKER_09]: also definitely not a far quad

[01:39:31] [SPEAKER_09]: just trying to think of Shrek

[01:39:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you're dragging

[01:39:35] [SPEAKER_07]: wait who just said that

[01:39:39] [SPEAKER_08]: who is it Rumpelstiltskin who like

[01:39:41] [SPEAKER_08]: who's in trap I put forth the idea

[01:39:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Griffin suggested Rumpelstiltskin

[01:39:45] [SPEAKER_09]: little bit of a troublemaker yeah

[01:39:47] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah

[01:39:48] [SPEAKER_09]: David even your response to me saying

[01:39:50] [SPEAKER_09]: father and three

[01:39:53] [SPEAKER_09]: that's the kind of full body size

[01:39:54] [SPEAKER_09]: Shrek would go alright

[01:39:56] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean look if anyone

[01:39:58] [SPEAKER_08]: had a kid and then had twins after they had

[01:40:01] [SPEAKER_08]: the kid you know get in touch

[01:40:03] [SPEAKER_08]: let me know how to do it because it's hard

[01:40:05] [SPEAKER_08]: it's hard so far we're figuring it out

[01:40:07] [SPEAKER_08]: that's what the Shrek movies are about being grown up

[01:40:09] [SPEAKER_08]: well that's I was going to say did Shrek have kids

[01:40:11] [SPEAKER_08]: in that order

[01:40:12] [SPEAKER_08]: Shrek has children

[01:40:13] [SPEAKER_08]: no I thought it was for triplets

[01:40:15] [SPEAKER_05]: but it's one girl and two boys

[01:40:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Fergus well that is Farkel

[01:40:19] [SPEAKER_05]: and Farkel yeah

[01:40:22] [SPEAKER_08]: and when are they born

[01:40:23] [SPEAKER_08]: are they born in three four

[01:40:25] [SPEAKER_09]: how many Shrek's

[01:40:26] [SPEAKER_09]: the re starts with Fiona telling him

[01:40:28] [SPEAKER_09]: that she's pregnant

[01:40:31] [SPEAKER_09]: then he has an extended nightmare sequence

[01:40:33] [SPEAKER_09]: about there being like 80 babies

[01:40:34] [SPEAKER_09]: and at the end of the movie they're born

[01:40:37] [SPEAKER_08]: to be clear I have seen Shrek

[01:40:39] [SPEAKER_08]: I would say probably

[01:40:41] [SPEAKER_08]: like three times over the years

[01:40:43] [SPEAKER_08]: I've seen Shrek two once in theaters

[01:40:44] [SPEAKER_08]: I have not seen the other Shrek's

[01:40:47] [SPEAKER_08]: I've not seen Puss in Boots or Puss in Boots the last wish

[01:40:49] [SPEAKER_09]: well because they're spoilers for your own life

[01:40:51] [SPEAKER_09]: you don't want to get ahead

[01:40:53] [SPEAKER_08]: and of course I have seen the cursed

[01:40:55] [SPEAKER_08]: I feel good animation test version

[01:40:57] [SPEAKER_08]: of Shrek from 1993 that looks insane

[01:41:00] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm so happy you invoke that

[01:41:04] [SPEAKER_08]: anyway do we have anything

[01:41:05] [SPEAKER_08]: else we want to say about Beetlejuice

[01:41:07] [SPEAKER_08]: Beetlejuice before we play the Bob Topp

[01:41:09] [SPEAKER_04]: I like Bob shout out to Bob

[01:41:17] [SPEAKER_08]: he's got a full of Shrekers

[01:41:18] [SPEAKER_08]: is it just kind of like because it's like

[01:41:22] [SPEAKER_08]: that's a great image from Beetlejuice

[01:41:23] [SPEAKER_08]: and we'll just reuse it

[01:41:24] [SPEAKER_08]: it doesn't totally make sense

[01:41:26] [SPEAKER_09]: it wasn't unfunny like those guys are funny

[01:41:29] [SPEAKER_09]: well I was going to say

[01:41:30] [SPEAKER_09]: I actually think the

[01:41:33] [SPEAKER_09]: puppeteering of Bob is incredible

[01:41:35] [SPEAKER_09]: and when we saw it in the theater

[01:41:37] [SPEAKER_09]: the audience was clearly sympathizing

[01:41:40] [SPEAKER_09]: with Bob so much

[01:41:41] [SPEAKER_09]: it's such an expressive face

[01:41:42] [SPEAKER_05]: my like dour London audience

[01:41:45] [SPEAKER_05]: did come alive for Bob

[01:41:47] [SPEAKER_09]: Bob hiding under the desk

[01:41:49] [SPEAKER_09]: and the feeling of like these other like

[01:41:51] [SPEAKER_09]: Shrekers are kind of chaotic but Bob is trying

[01:41:53] [SPEAKER_09]: to keep order

[01:41:54] [SPEAKER_09]: this scene where Monica Bellucci

[01:41:57] [SPEAKER_09]: just kind of unceremoniously sucks

[01:41:59] [SPEAKER_09]: his head and he's dead

[01:42:00] [SPEAKER_09]: I was just like this is the biggest narrative

[01:42:03] [SPEAKER_09]: mistake this movie makes

[01:42:04] [SPEAKER_09]: we're more into Bob

[01:42:06] [SPEAKER_09]: I actually kind of like the audience was

[01:42:08] [SPEAKER_09]: emotionally attached to Bob

[01:42:10] [SPEAKER_08]: that's why I kind of liked it people actually kind of seem

[01:42:12] [SPEAKER_08]: to dislike that she did that

[01:42:14] [SPEAKER_08]: I like that Bob's eyes pops like balloons

[01:42:16] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah and it kind of but then of course

[01:42:17] [SPEAKER_05]: the way his little mouth moved after it was

[01:42:21] [SPEAKER_05]: unsound

[01:42:23] [SPEAKER_08]: like the only problem is then of course

[01:42:25] [SPEAKER_08]: you're like oh they kind of make him

[01:42:26] [SPEAKER_08]: put on a balloon she's scary and then the movie's like

[01:42:28] [SPEAKER_08]: nah don't worry about her she's bullshit

[01:42:30] [SPEAKER_09]: can I ask you can I look at this

[01:42:32] [SPEAKER_09]: oh no

[01:42:33] [SPEAKER_09]: she's here

[01:42:35] [SPEAKER_08]: with her staple face

[01:42:36] [SPEAKER_09]: that sequence is fun

[01:42:39] [SPEAKER_08]: the stapling sequence is fun

[01:42:41] [SPEAKER_08]: I thought so for sure

[01:42:42] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah with a BG song that was cool

[01:42:46] [SPEAKER_09]: tragedy

[01:42:46] [SPEAKER_09]: this is like a real gentleman

[01:42:49] [SPEAKER_09]: 6 for me where I'm like

[01:42:51] [SPEAKER_09]: it's losing points for having one of the most dysfunctional

[01:42:53] [SPEAKER_09]: scripts I have ever seen

[01:42:55] [SPEAKER_09]: on a major budgeted film

[01:42:57] [SPEAKER_09]: it is gaining points for just like

[01:42:59] [SPEAKER_09]: if there is enough stuff and I thought was kind of funny

[01:43:01] [SPEAKER_09]: or cool looking that it like evens

[01:43:03] [SPEAKER_09]: out to a 6

[01:43:04] [SPEAKER_09]: but I sort of just want to see him

[01:43:06] [SPEAKER_09]: learn the right lessons for this

[01:43:09] [SPEAKER_09]: I want to be like a reactivation

[01:43:12] [SPEAKER_09]: that then sets him on

[01:43:13] [SPEAKER_09]: a path to just like great now let me focus on

[01:43:15] [SPEAKER_09]: like telling a focus

[01:43:17] [SPEAKER_09]: story and putting my color

[01:43:19] [SPEAKER_08]: on top of it can I say something about Monica

[01:43:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Baluchim people I saw some early

[01:43:23] [SPEAKER_08]: kind of like she really she's really wasted

[01:43:25] [SPEAKER_08]: in this movie and I was sort of like

[01:43:27] [SPEAKER_08]: drunk

[01:43:29] [SPEAKER_08]: off her ass

[01:43:31] [SPEAKER_08]: and I was kind of like Monica

[01:43:33] [SPEAKER_08]: Baluchim is not like a bad actress or whatever

[01:43:35] [SPEAKER_08]: but like she it's not I've never

[01:43:37] [SPEAKER_08]: thought of her as like an incredible actress

[01:43:39] [SPEAKER_08]: she's like a cool arresting

[01:43:41] [SPEAKER_08]: screen presence but like when I'm like

[01:43:43] [SPEAKER_08]: ah what are the definitive like Monica

[01:43:44] [SPEAKER_08]: Baluchim roles I was kind of like

[01:43:47] [SPEAKER_08]: brotherhood of the wolf I guess

[01:43:49] [SPEAKER_08]: make sure it's reloaded and revolution

[01:43:51] [SPEAKER_08]: I like her in those

[01:43:53] [SPEAKER_08]: like that sort of sums

[01:43:55] [SPEAKER_08]: up exactly what I think of her which is like yeah she

[01:43:57] [SPEAKER_08]: she really pops on screen sure

[01:43:59] [SPEAKER_08]: but like she's not like a serious

[01:44:01] [SPEAKER_08]: weighty actor like you know

[01:44:03] [SPEAKER_08]: she's fine

[01:44:05] [SPEAKER_08]: she's going to near reversible I guess that movie

[01:44:06] [SPEAKER_08]: so punishing and awful yeah he just kind

[01:44:09] [SPEAKER_09]: of uses her in this like

[01:44:10] [SPEAKER_09]: the Martian spy girl played by

[01:44:12] [SPEAKER_09]: a previous serious relation of his

[01:44:15] [SPEAKER_09]: Lisa Marie right which

[01:44:17] [SPEAKER_09]: is like one sequence and is a

[01:44:19] [SPEAKER_09]: Brevura sequence right she's

[01:44:20] [SPEAKER_09]: perfectly a camera officer and by the way

[01:44:22] [SPEAKER_09]: like she's really funny in Ed Wood where she has

[01:44:25] [SPEAKER_09]: a lot more dialogue

[01:44:26] [SPEAKER_09]: and everything Lisa Marie yes I'm

[01:44:28] [SPEAKER_09]: saying right but it just feels

[01:44:30] [SPEAKER_09]: like they spend so much time

[01:44:32] [SPEAKER_09]: setting up the Baluchy thing that you just

[01:44:34] [SPEAKER_09]: think it's going to pay off into something

[01:44:38] [SPEAKER_08]: to be clear I like her I just

[01:44:40] [SPEAKER_08]: but she's not like like a Titan

[01:44:42] [SPEAKER_08]: of French cinema acting

[01:44:44] [SPEAKER_08]: she's like a you know

[01:44:46] [SPEAKER_05]: well she's Italian well she's Italian

[01:44:48] [SPEAKER_08]: for one she's a lot of French movies

[01:44:51] [SPEAKER_08]: and yeah right um

[01:44:52] [SPEAKER_08]: but she's like good right

[01:44:54] [SPEAKER_09]: like was previously married to of course

[01:44:57] [SPEAKER_09]: then some cuz lost your hood

[01:44:59] [SPEAKER_09]: from the first Shrek movie

[01:45:02] [SPEAKER_07]: we

[01:45:02] [SPEAKER_07]: I could have used more

[01:45:05] [SPEAKER_07]: worm

[01:45:06] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah you get a little bit it is funny

[01:45:09] [SPEAKER_09]: that like someone asked Burton in an

[01:45:11] [SPEAKER_09]: interview why he didn't do anything

[01:45:12] [SPEAKER_09]: with the maitlands and he said

[01:45:15] [SPEAKER_09]: you know I don't I wanted

[01:45:17] [SPEAKER_09]: to resist the impulse to feel like we needed

[01:45:19] [SPEAKER_09]: to check all the boxes which I'm like

[01:45:21] [SPEAKER_09]: that's the thing I want to hear that this

[01:45:22] [SPEAKER_09]: movie isn't just feeling the need to replicate

[01:45:24] [SPEAKER_09]: everything and then you look at the list

[01:45:26] [SPEAKER_09]: and you're like they basically replicate

[01:45:27] [SPEAKER_09]: everything else they do a wedding in the

[01:45:29] [SPEAKER_09]: sand worms and the shrunken head guy

[01:45:31] [SPEAKER_08]: they got the theme they got the same font

[01:45:33] [SPEAKER_08]: the book the model the sign

[01:45:35] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah I look I hate

[01:45:38] [SPEAKER_08]: like this sort of thing of like

[01:45:40] [SPEAKER_08]: journals being like why isn't Eric Baldwin

[01:45:42] [SPEAKER_08]: in this movie he's like get the fuck over

[01:45:43] [SPEAKER_08]: yourself he's not good I didn't want

[01:45:45] [SPEAKER_08]: to cast him he's had a lot of legal trouble recently

[01:45:47] [SPEAKER_08]: like what he's going to say that out loud no just

[01:45:49] [SPEAKER_08]: he's gonna be like nah I didn't want to deal with that even

[01:45:51] [SPEAKER_05]: beyond that I think there's there's actually

[01:45:53] [SPEAKER_05]: there's actually reasons within

[01:45:54] [SPEAKER_09]: there is in theory they would not

[01:45:57] [SPEAKER_09]: have aged it's been 36 years

[01:46:00] [SPEAKER_09]: every other character

[01:46:01] [SPEAKER_09]: either the passage of time makes sense on

[01:46:03] [SPEAKER_09]: them or beetle juices basically some weird

[01:46:05] [SPEAKER_09]: immortal force I agree

[01:46:07] [SPEAKER_09]: and let me hard to work them in but of course

[01:46:09] [SPEAKER_08]: in a world where they're both still giant

[01:46:11] [SPEAKER_08]: stars they probably get worked in possibly

[01:46:13] [SPEAKER_09]: but then there's the other side of it of Burton

[01:46:15] [SPEAKER_09]: being like what you want me to digitally

[01:46:17] [SPEAKER_09]: de-age them and we'll be happy if I did

[01:46:19] [SPEAKER_09]: saying that's why I'm like so you put them in

[01:46:21] [SPEAKER_09]: for one scene as like weird ghastly

[01:46:23] [SPEAKER_09]: CGI ghosts forget it

[01:46:25] [SPEAKER_09]: can I say a thing I liked about Winona in this

[01:46:27] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah someone who was very big to us

[01:46:29] [SPEAKER_08]: I love Winona and I think

[01:46:31] [SPEAKER_08]: she's good in this if

[01:46:33] [SPEAKER_08]: struggling to kind of know what to do

[01:46:35] [SPEAKER_08]: with this character but she's fine

[01:46:37] [SPEAKER_09]: but I what I like is

[01:46:39] [SPEAKER_09]: and I'm when the first images came

[01:46:41] [SPEAKER_09]: out and it was like oh my god they have her in the

[01:46:43] [SPEAKER_09]: whole outfit this looks a little cosplay

[01:46:45] [SPEAKER_09]: ish and

[01:46:47] [SPEAKER_09]: I like performance DC's given in the last 15

[01:46:49] [SPEAKER_09]: years but if there is this feeling of

[01:46:51] [SPEAKER_09]: like she was so important

[01:46:53] [SPEAKER_09]: culturally and it is

[01:46:55] [SPEAKER_09]: so hard to really remember

[01:46:57] [SPEAKER_09]: how big the fucking shoplifting

[01:46:59] [SPEAKER_09]: thing was that that was treated as

[01:47:01] [SPEAKER_09]: like the huge killed someone

[01:47:03] [SPEAKER_09]: celebrity scandal and people

[01:47:05] [SPEAKER_09]: would not stop making jokes about it and then

[01:47:07] [SPEAKER_09]: was this feeling of like is she like

[01:47:09] [SPEAKER_09]: losing her mind and we're not talking

[01:47:11] [SPEAKER_09]: about this was really weird that

[01:47:13] [SPEAKER_08]: you did it because she was famous

[01:47:15] [SPEAKER_08]: and seemingly rich so

[01:47:17] [SPEAKER_09]: why is she doing what happened was

[01:47:19] [SPEAKER_09]: like that happens everyone's like what the

[01:47:21] [SPEAKER_09]: fuck was this and then a year later she

[01:47:23] [SPEAKER_09]: like host SNL Mr. Deeds

[01:47:25] [SPEAKER_09]: comes out it's a hit she's

[01:47:27] [SPEAKER_09]: like doing the press rounds and everyone's like

[01:47:29] [SPEAKER_09]: she's making jokes about and she seems kind of normal

[01:47:31] [SPEAKER_09]: and then that basically ends her mainstream

[01:47:33] [SPEAKER_09]: movie career yeah cut

[01:47:35] [SPEAKER_09]: post mr. Deeds the cycle where it felt

[01:47:37] [SPEAKER_09]: like oh she kind of reclaimed it

[01:47:39] [SPEAKER_09]: this is like her first

[01:47:42] [SPEAKER_09]: leader co-lead in a studio

[01:47:43] [SPEAKER_08]: movie in I basically

[01:47:45] [SPEAKER_08]: 22 years I think the movies have seen her

[01:47:48] [SPEAKER_08]: in between our scanner

[01:47:49] [SPEAKER_08]: directly which she's amazing and

[01:47:51] [SPEAKER_08]: but you know isn't any movie star trek

[01:47:53] [SPEAKER_08]: at Star Trek which she's excellent in but

[01:47:55] [SPEAKER_08]: it's a small role black swan

[01:47:57] [SPEAKER_08]: which she's kind of excellent in and

[01:47:59] [SPEAKER_08]: that's maybe a really clever use of

[01:48:01] [SPEAKER_09]: her Star Trek blacks one are both in this

[01:48:03] [SPEAKER_09]: mold of like what's the way to bring

[01:48:05] [SPEAKER_09]: Winona back what is like the kind of

[01:48:06] [SPEAKER_09]: interesting meta casting of legacy Winona

[01:48:09] [SPEAKER_08]: and then experimenter which

[01:48:11] [SPEAKER_08]: she's great in yeah it is somewhat

[01:48:12] [SPEAKER_08]: unheralded movie but I like that

[01:48:14] [SPEAKER_09]: I believe she's very good and they're back

[01:48:16] [SPEAKER_09]: Miller movie oh yeah in a deep supporting

[01:48:18] [SPEAKER_09]: role but I think is really good in it

[01:48:20] [SPEAKER_09]: I never saw destination I like destination

[01:48:23] [SPEAKER_09]: wedding a lot destination wedding is a

[01:48:24] [SPEAKER_09]: two-hander rom-com with her and Keanu

[01:48:27] [SPEAKER_09]: who are famously very close to work

[01:48:29] [SPEAKER_09]: together many times and that's a nice

[01:48:31] [SPEAKER_09]: way that's the only other movies she's

[01:48:32] [SPEAKER_09]: been the lead in I feel like and obviously

[01:48:35] [SPEAKER_09]: the other thing that happens during this is

[01:48:36] [SPEAKER_09]: stranger things happens

[01:48:38] [SPEAKER_09]: and makes a really big for new generation

[01:48:40] [SPEAKER_09]: but kind of sets the model of what the current

[01:48:42] [SPEAKER_09]: Winona is which is this whole like

[01:48:44] [SPEAKER_09]: I don't know what that is

[01:48:45] [SPEAKER_08]: it's that and it's the the gif of her going

[01:48:49] [SPEAKER_08]: doing the math on stage yeah yeah yeah

[01:48:51] [SPEAKER_08]: right and it's just like she's really

[01:48:52] [SPEAKER_08]: good in the plot against America

[01:48:55] [SPEAKER_08]: the David Simon miniseries

[01:48:57] [SPEAKER_08]: adaptation of the Philip Roth do you

[01:48:58] [SPEAKER_08]: know what she was really good in

[01:49:00] [SPEAKER_08]: show me a hero she's really good in that too

[01:49:02] [SPEAKER_08]: sort of it's very much a supporting role

[01:49:05] [SPEAKER_08]: but really like a emotional

[01:49:07] [SPEAKER_09]: force it's been a lot of this of like

[01:49:09] [SPEAKER_09]: someone comes and brings her in and she

[01:49:10] [SPEAKER_09]: knocks out four scenes and you're like

[01:49:13] [SPEAKER_09]: she's doing this kind of fragile woman on

[01:49:15] [SPEAKER_09]: a brink thing but she's she's good

[01:49:17] [SPEAKER_09]: at it

[01:49:17] [SPEAKER_09]: what I liked about this is I felt

[01:49:21] [SPEAKER_09]: like this was the most

[01:49:23] [SPEAKER_09]: holistically I had seen

[01:49:24] [SPEAKER_09]: someone right to her current

[01:49:27] [SPEAKER_09]: state just what her

[01:49:28] [SPEAKER_09]: energy is these days

[01:49:30] [SPEAKER_09]: of like and I think it's what

[01:49:32] [SPEAKER_09]: they're trying to get at with the prescription drug

[01:49:34] [SPEAKER_09]: thing of like

[01:49:36] [SPEAKER_09]: Lydia wouldn't grow up normal

[01:49:39] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah sure

[01:49:40] [SPEAKER_09]: yes but

[01:49:43] [SPEAKER_08]: it just didn't feel like there

[01:49:44] [SPEAKER_09]: was quite enough there I agree

[01:49:46] [SPEAKER_09]: but I almost think she's trying to

[01:49:48] [SPEAKER_09]: actually play the weight of this character

[01:49:52] [SPEAKER_09]: and not

[01:49:52] [SPEAKER_09]: just do the same thing again but

[01:49:54] [SPEAKER_09]: they don't really have a real real

[01:49:56] [SPEAKER_08]: give her right

[01:49:58] [SPEAKER_08]: it's just so much of the movie is everyone

[01:50:00] [SPEAKER_08]: basically saying to her like shouldn't you be more upset

[01:50:03] [SPEAKER_08]: and she's kind of like yeah whatever

[01:50:05] [SPEAKER_08]: and she only really gets upset

[01:50:07] [SPEAKER_08]: when Beetlejuice is invoked

[01:50:09] [SPEAKER_08]: but like

[01:50:10] [SPEAKER_08]: the things with a you don't even like Roy and she's like

[01:50:12] [SPEAKER_08]: hey he likes me who cares where she really does

[01:50:14] [SPEAKER_08]: a like why not to

[01:50:16] [SPEAKER_08]: she's getting married yeah and like

[01:50:18] [SPEAKER_08]: sure the point of her character

[01:50:20] [SPEAKER_08]: she's checked out because she sold out and stuff okay

[01:50:23] [SPEAKER_08]: I guess that makes sense

[01:50:24] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah

[01:50:25] [SPEAKER_08]: still got a crush on her she's gorgeous

[01:50:29] [SPEAKER_08]: I love her

[01:50:30] [SPEAKER_08]: I love Winona I love Winona forever

[01:50:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Winona forever yeah

[01:50:34] [SPEAKER_07]: I have a huge announcement please

[01:50:36] [SPEAKER_08]: bigger than David's announce

[01:50:38] [SPEAKER_08]: you mean after number two

[01:50:40] [SPEAKER_07]: I have triplets

[01:50:42] [SPEAKER_07]: no uh

[01:50:43] [SPEAKER_07]: I just received a text from Geffen records

[01:50:46] [SPEAKER_07]: and this is a real

[01:50:48] [SPEAKER_07]: not a scam

[01:50:50] [SPEAKER_07]: you are looking for a job right

[01:50:52] [SPEAKER_07]: can I send you more details

[01:50:54] [SPEAKER_07]: should I say yeah

[01:50:56] [SPEAKER_07]: what is this

[01:50:57] [SPEAKER_07]: literally I just received from Geffen records

[01:51:01] [SPEAKER_07]: you know David Geffen produced

[01:51:02] [SPEAKER_05]: I think that's a scam

[01:51:04] [SPEAKER_05]: this is real

[01:51:05] [SPEAKER_09]: yes of course there's the Geffen Logan in front of this movie

[01:51:08] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm saying this to Ben it feels like an odd coincidence

[01:51:10] [SPEAKER_09]: this is happening during the Beatles

[01:51:11] [SPEAKER_09]: I am bringing it up okay it must be meant to be

[01:51:14] [SPEAKER_05]: do you know what else was a Geffen records release

[01:51:16] [SPEAKER_05]: what

[01:51:17] [SPEAKER_05]: hooray for boobies

[01:51:20] [SPEAKER_09]: and look at that

[01:51:23] [SPEAKER_09]: much like Beatlejuice

[01:51:25] [SPEAKER_09]: this episode set up many threads

[01:51:27] [SPEAKER_09]: that at times felt disconnected

[01:51:28] [SPEAKER_09]: why is he introducing the Shrek thing in the same

[01:51:31] [SPEAKER_09]: episode that they do Bloodhound gang

[01:51:33] [SPEAKER_09]: and Beatlejuice and trying to do career

[01:51:35] [SPEAKER_09]: perspectives

[01:51:35] [SPEAKER_09]: I guess we had a fun time it wasn't their best

[01:51:39] [SPEAKER_09]: episode but I guess we had a fun time

[01:51:40] [SPEAKER_09]: they're all kind of tired they haven't recorded

[01:51:42] [SPEAKER_09]: a lot going on guys

[01:51:44] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm thinking I got like a hook and I've been doing these lyrics

[01:51:47] [SPEAKER_08]: about what are they about it's just like we should

[01:51:49] [SPEAKER_08]: fuck like the animals in the Discovery Channel

[01:51:52] [SPEAKER_08]: okay

[01:51:53] [SPEAKER_08]: let's do it like six months later

[01:51:55] [SPEAKER_08]: the richest they've ever been

[01:51:57] [SPEAKER_09]: people keep asking me

[01:51:59] [SPEAKER_09]: like how are you doing and I'm like

[01:52:01] [SPEAKER_08]: they weren't sitting down being like this is gonna be it

[01:52:03] [SPEAKER_08]: like the Discovery Channel

[01:52:05] [SPEAKER_09]: so no but they hit on something

[01:52:08] [SPEAKER_09]: really primal and powerful and true

[01:52:10] [SPEAKER_09]: clean and red and powerful as Jonah Hill would say

[01:52:13] [SPEAKER_09]: people have been asking me how I've been doing

[01:52:14] [SPEAKER_09]: and I've been like I'm like pretty

[01:52:16] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm pretty exhausted and stressed out

[01:52:18] [SPEAKER_09]: and they're like why and I'm like

[01:52:20] [SPEAKER_09]: it's David had twins and I'm sort of

[01:52:24] [SPEAKER_09]: and I do keep

[01:52:25] [SPEAKER_09]: you haven't even had to record an episode

[01:52:27] [SPEAKER_09]: in six weeks

[01:52:28] [SPEAKER_09]: I earnestly keep offering it up to people

[01:52:30] [SPEAKER_09]: not as expensive

[01:52:32] [SPEAKER_09]: and how was he doing

[01:52:33] [SPEAKER_09]: right and I'm like I think it's okay but it's hard to know and that's really been

[01:52:36] [SPEAKER_09]: weighing on me

[01:52:38] [SPEAKER_09]: and then they'll go like how are you doing and I'm like

[01:52:39] [SPEAKER_09]: I haven't really thought about that actually

[01:52:41] [SPEAKER_08]: but thinking a lot about David and the twins

[01:52:45] [SPEAKER_08]: how David's track

[01:52:46] [SPEAKER_08]: it's very hard they're just they were

[01:52:47] [SPEAKER_08]: preemies one of them isn't sleeping very well

[01:52:50] [SPEAKER_08]: they'll get bigger

[01:52:51] [SPEAKER_03]: they're so cute

[01:52:53] [SPEAKER_09]: they're cute little guys

[01:52:54] [SPEAKER_09]: you've been talking about how

[01:52:56] [SPEAKER_09]: the smaller one who doesn't sleep well

[01:52:59] [SPEAKER_09]: and poops a lot and is kind of temperamental

[01:53:01] [SPEAKER_09]: that's the Griffin

[01:53:02] [SPEAKER_09]: relating really well

[01:53:05] [SPEAKER_07]: this sounds like a great job

[01:53:07] [SPEAKER_07]: you guys are literally

[01:53:08] [SPEAKER_08]: I was gonna also

[01:53:09] [SPEAKER_08]: the two of you, Ben and Griffin

[01:53:11] [SPEAKER_08]: recording this episode are about to go on a wonderful

[01:53:14] [SPEAKER_08]: vacation apiece right

[01:53:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Euro tripping

[01:53:17] [SPEAKER_08]: both Euro tripping not together

[01:53:19] [SPEAKER_08]: but in parallel

[01:53:20] [SPEAKER_09]: and we might cross paths

[01:53:22] [SPEAKER_09]: it's sort of like the Dolores and Bull Jackson plot lines

[01:53:25] [SPEAKER_08]: so we're not really going to record again until

[01:53:27] [SPEAKER_08]: early October because we have to

[01:53:29] [SPEAKER_08]: fucking watch Joker Folly do

[01:53:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Folly do do

[01:53:34] [SPEAKER_09]: but hey let's make the announcement

[01:53:35] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah let's fucking announce it

[01:53:36] [SPEAKER_09]: we're also watching Goodrich it's Michael Keaton season

[01:53:38] [SPEAKER_09]: we're worried that Folly do might not

[01:53:41] [SPEAKER_09]: make for an entirely compelling episode

[01:53:43] [SPEAKER_09]: so we're trying to recreate the one command magic

[01:53:45] [SPEAKER_09]: with an episode that I want to call

[01:53:47] [SPEAKER_09]: Goodrich Folly do

[01:53:49] [SPEAKER_09]: have I been told that that doesn't make

[01:53:51] [SPEAKER_09]: sense yes is there a better pitch

[01:53:53] [SPEAKER_07]: no that's fine that could be the title

[01:53:55] [SPEAKER_07]: it'll be fun it's a remote

[01:53:57] [SPEAKER_07]: position 30 60 minutes per

[01:53:59] [SPEAKER_07]: day

[01:54:13] [SPEAKER_07]: should play the box office game oh yeah

[01:54:16] [SPEAKER_09]: forgot about that so Beatlejuice

[01:54:17] [SPEAKER_09]: open to number one

[01:54:19] [SPEAKER_09]: on this is September 6th

[01:54:21] [SPEAKER_09]: 2024 what it's

[01:54:23] [SPEAKER_09]: previously for many years

[01:54:25] [SPEAKER_09]: decades been seen as a bit of a dumping ground

[01:54:27] [SPEAKER_09]: and then it had this huge opening weekend

[01:54:29] [SPEAKER_09]: and now it's become this hot spot where it's like

[01:54:32] [SPEAKER_09]: August

[01:54:32] [SPEAKER_09]: tails off in the first week of September

[01:54:34] [SPEAKER_09]: is prime real estate again it's true

[01:54:37] [SPEAKER_09]: Labor Day weekend essentially had the second

[01:54:39] [SPEAKER_09]: biggest September of all time only behind the first

[01:54:41] [SPEAKER_09]: date

[01:54:42] [SPEAKER_09]: August is actually the week after Labor Day

[01:54:44] [SPEAKER_08]: we have yeah Labor Day remains one of

[01:54:46] [SPEAKER_08]: the worst we got nobody does that one because everyone's

[01:54:48] [SPEAKER_08]: on vacation or whatever okay

[01:54:49] [SPEAKER_08]: yes it opened to 111 million dollars

[01:54:52] [SPEAKER_08]: I was kind of stunned

[01:54:54] [SPEAKER_08]: like I did not see this movie open

[01:54:55] [SPEAKER_08]: I thought it would do fine I called him

[01:54:57] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah I wasn't like against it or

[01:54:59] [SPEAKER_08]: I was just like oh damn right okay but huge

[01:55:02] [SPEAKER_09]: it gets added to the stat list

[01:55:04] [SPEAKER_09]: my favorite stat of sequels

[01:55:05] [SPEAKER_09]: that out gross the original in their opening weekend

[01:55:08] [SPEAKER_09]: yes now I think along with awesome powers

[01:55:10] [SPEAKER_09]: this might have me pitch perfect to

[01:55:12] [SPEAKER_09]: might be another one it's always one other one

[01:55:14] [SPEAKER_09]: we forget I mean obviously

[01:55:16] [SPEAKER_09]: when a sequel is coming three decades later the

[01:55:17] [SPEAKER_09]: stat gets fudgier when you're just a little bit

[01:55:19] [SPEAKER_09]: adjusted for inflation

[01:55:22] [SPEAKER_08]: Beatlejuice Beatlejuice open great Warner Brothers

[01:55:24] [SPEAKER_08]: seemingly did their good job

[01:55:26] [SPEAKER_08]: pushing it doing

[01:55:27] [SPEAKER_08]: brand tie-ins getting Jen Ortega to tick

[01:55:30] [SPEAKER_08]: talk about it it felt like they followed

[01:55:31] [SPEAKER_09]: the Barbie playbook and I saw

[01:55:33] [SPEAKER_09]: a deadline drop that this actually had

[01:55:36] [SPEAKER_09]: twice as much money behind it and twice

[01:55:37] [SPEAKER_09]: as many brand partners but they were just like

[01:55:39] [SPEAKER_09]: yeah and I think much like Barbie it was

[01:55:41] [SPEAKER_09]: the same thing of just like people have a

[01:55:43] [SPEAKER_09]: strong emotional attachment to this iconography

[01:55:46] [SPEAKER_09]: if it's all over their feeds they're

[01:55:48] [SPEAKER_09]: not going to present it they like these

[01:55:49] [SPEAKER_09]: actors they like the stripes

[01:55:52] [SPEAKER_09]: and the spirals and the sandworms

[01:55:54] [SPEAKER_09]: you can buy your

[01:55:55] [SPEAKER_09]: Catherine O'Hara

[01:55:57] [SPEAKER_09]: pineapple flavored

[01:56:00] [SPEAKER_09]: number two at the box office

[01:56:02] [SPEAKER_09]: Gryphon

[01:56:02] [SPEAKER_09]: Fanta did a complete comprehensive tie-in

[01:56:05] [SPEAKER_09]: with the movie Beatlejuice Beatlejuice

[01:56:07] [SPEAKER_09]: and their different flavors are represented by

[01:56:09] [SPEAKER_09]: different characters on the cans and I believe

[01:56:11] [SPEAKER_09]: the pineapple flavor is now Catherine O'Hara

[01:56:13] [SPEAKER_08]: correct Delia is Catherine

[01:56:15] [SPEAKER_08]: O'Hara

[01:56:17] [SPEAKER_08]: Astrid Jen Ortega's character is

[01:56:19] [SPEAKER_08]: Orange so just regular Fanta

[01:56:22] [SPEAKER_08]: Lydia is strawberry

[01:56:24] [SPEAKER_08]: and Beatlejuice is like

[01:56:25] [SPEAKER_08]: demon blood flavor

[01:56:28] [SPEAKER_08]: it's limited edition Fanta Haunted

[01:56:30] [SPEAKER_08]: I gotta drink this shit

[01:56:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Haunted Apple

[01:56:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Weirdly Fanta Lemon

[01:56:35] [SPEAKER_08]: just still doesn't exist in this country

[01:56:37] [SPEAKER_08]: it's so weird it's Fanta Lemon Rocks

[01:56:39] [SPEAKER_08]: it's available all through Europe when you're in Europe

[01:56:41] [SPEAKER_09]: get yourself a Fanta Lemon

[01:56:42] [SPEAKER_09]: sadly it sounds like that's the Jeffery Jones

[01:56:46] [SPEAKER_08]: doesn't exist not available

[01:56:47] [SPEAKER_08]: take it off the shelves

[01:56:49] [SPEAKER_08]: number two at the box office Gryphon

[01:56:51] [SPEAKER_08]: number two at the box office is still

[01:56:54] [SPEAKER_08]: very successful film

[01:56:55] [SPEAKER_08]: motion picture called Deadpool and Wolverine

[01:56:57] [SPEAKER_08]: Deadpool, Ampersand, Wolverine, Marie, did you see it?

[01:56:59] [SPEAKER_09]: no a movie that I

[01:57:01] [SPEAKER_09]: I have to

[01:57:02] [SPEAKER_09]: I have to begrudgingly admit is more functional

[01:57:05] [SPEAKER_09]: than Deadpool then Beatlejuice

[01:57:07] [SPEAKER_09]: Beatlejuice and yet it drove me

[01:57:09] [SPEAKER_09]: so much crazier

[01:57:11] [SPEAKER_09]: it wore me the fuck down

[01:57:13] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah I mean I suppose

[01:57:15] [SPEAKER_08]: you're right that it's more functional but right now

[01:57:17] [SPEAKER_09]: I also think that movie is not functional

[01:57:19] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm just saying more functional

[01:57:21] [SPEAKER_09]: you know when you hesitated about whether

[01:57:23] [SPEAKER_09]: or not to reveal the

[01:57:25] [SPEAKER_09]: crash of Pipe Coast through a window

[01:57:28] [SPEAKER_09]: where you were like should I give this text

[01:57:30] [SPEAKER_09]: to our listeners that can be thrown back

[01:57:32] [SPEAKER_09]: in my face

[01:57:33] [SPEAKER_09]: I thought this while watching Deadpool and Wolverine

[01:57:36] [SPEAKER_09]: and I've been holding back

[01:57:37] [SPEAKER_09]: on saying this publicly and I feel like I need to say it

[01:57:39] [SPEAKER_09]: even though I do think it will come back to haunt me

[01:57:42] [SPEAKER_09]: but halfway through watching Deadpool and Wolverine

[01:57:44] [SPEAKER_09]: I thought to myself

[01:57:45] [SPEAKER_09]: this is not a joke this was a genuine

[01:57:47] [SPEAKER_09]: thought what is this what it feels like

[01:57:50] [SPEAKER_09]: to have a conversation with me

[01:57:51] [SPEAKER_09]: and I was like that's maybe the most

[01:57:53] [SPEAKER_09]: critical you're being a little hard

[01:57:55] [SPEAKER_03]: it was a moment of darkness but I was

[01:57:57] [SPEAKER_09]: watching I was like God I feel so exhausted

[01:57:59] [SPEAKER_09]: I was like is this what it feels like

[01:58:01] [SPEAKER_09]: no a lot of references being thrown

[01:58:03] [SPEAKER_09]: out and a lot of attempts at jokes

[01:58:06] [SPEAKER_09]: and you're like I guess it's good

[01:58:07] [SPEAKER_09]: natured enough whatever

[01:58:10] [SPEAKER_08]: for one

[01:58:11] [SPEAKER_08]: to be clear the movie is enormously

[01:58:14] [SPEAKER_08]: successful people love it as am I

[01:58:16] [SPEAKER_08]: good

[01:58:17] [SPEAKER_08]: the most over here

[01:58:20] [SPEAKER_08]: that's not bad

[01:58:22] [SPEAKER_08]: no that's not true

[01:58:23] [SPEAKER_08]: I would say the Deadpool and Wolverine is

[01:58:26] [SPEAKER_08]: right it's the bad version

[01:58:28] [SPEAKER_08]: of what you're talking about

[01:58:29] [SPEAKER_09]: it was maybe the meanest thing I could think

[01:58:32] [SPEAKER_09]: about the movie though

[01:58:35] [SPEAKER_09]: mean things to say about yourself

[01:58:36] [SPEAKER_08]: okay then both

[01:58:38] [SPEAKER_08]: number three it's a quiet

[01:58:40] [SPEAKER_08]: in sympathy for Griff

[01:58:41] [SPEAKER_09]: I thought it was going to be funny

[01:58:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought people were going to like it

[01:58:43] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm genuinely worried about you

[01:58:45] [SPEAKER_08]: he's doing good

[01:58:48] [SPEAKER_08]: it's been tough time

[01:58:50] [SPEAKER_05]: I've been using that as an excuse too

[01:58:52] [SPEAKER_05]: it even matters less to me

[01:58:53] [SPEAKER_01]: we're all going to fucking die for a decade

[01:58:58] [SPEAKER_08]: whatever

[01:58:59] [SPEAKER_07]: I haven't been using it as an excuse

[01:59:01] [SPEAKER_09]: you put a lot on your plate

[01:59:04] [SPEAKER_09]: I haven't been sleeping well

[01:59:06] [SPEAKER_09]: just because David hasn't been sleeping well

[01:59:08] [SPEAKER_09]: and it's been getting to me

[01:59:09] [SPEAKER_09]: number three at the box office

[01:59:11] [SPEAKER_09]: it's a biopic

[01:59:13] [SPEAKER_09]: mm-hmm

[01:59:14] [SPEAKER_09]: the film

[01:59:16] [SPEAKER_09]: it's number three at the box office

[01:59:19] [SPEAKER_09]: and he's doing pretty well

[01:59:20] [SPEAKER_08]: it's done okay for a movie that is clearly dog shit

[01:59:23] [SPEAKER_08]: oh

[01:59:24] [SPEAKER_08]: it's made 18 million dollars

[01:59:26] [SPEAKER_08]: it's a movie called Reagan

[01:59:29] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean what better sign

[01:59:31] [SPEAKER_08]: sorry to dis

[01:59:32] [SPEAKER_08]: President Ronald Reagan

[01:59:34] [SPEAKER_08]: of the fucking bankruptcy of the Reagan era

[01:59:37] [SPEAKER_08]: that like this clip I see passing around

[01:59:39] [SPEAKER_08]: where it's like the climax of the movie is him

[01:59:41] [SPEAKER_08]: giving the tear down this wall speech

[01:59:43] [SPEAKER_08]: it's like and then going like

[01:59:45] [SPEAKER_08]: he's not gonna do it

[01:59:46] [SPEAKER_08]: that's it that's what he's fucking got

[01:59:48] [SPEAKER_08]: is tear down this wall

[01:59:50] [SPEAKER_08]: he said tear down the Berlin wall 45 years after

[01:59:53] [SPEAKER_08]: it was built

[01:59:54] [SPEAKER_08]: what a goddamn profile encourage

[01:59:56] [SPEAKER_08]: all the guys watching it on TV

[01:59:58] [SPEAKER_02]: oh

[02:00:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and then like Nancy Reagan's like

[02:00:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Ronnie yes

[02:00:04] [SPEAKER_09]: I can't argue that Reagan is a great film

[02:00:06] [SPEAKER_09]: it has

[02:00:08] [SPEAKER_09]: fundamental script issues

[02:00:09] [SPEAKER_09]: have you seen Reagan but I feel like Sean McNamara

[02:00:12] [SPEAKER_09]: was having fun again it feels like he's reconnecting

[02:00:14] [SPEAKER_09]: with some of his creative energy

[02:00:15] [SPEAKER_09]: director of baby geniuses yeah he's getting back

[02:00:18] [SPEAKER_09]: to the earlier kind of style that we all

[02:00:20] [SPEAKER_09]: loved

[02:00:20] [SPEAKER_05]: only director of baby geniuses would have

[02:00:24] [SPEAKER_05]: genius mind to cast

[02:00:25] [SPEAKER_05]: well stop

[02:00:27] [SPEAKER_09]: baby geniuses too super babies he didn't direct

[02:00:29] [SPEAKER_05]: the first oh I'm so sorry but that one's even more

[02:00:40] [SPEAKER_09]: Casper a spirited beginning

[02:00:42] [SPEAKER_05]: oh no

[02:00:44] [SPEAKER_08]: and he's reconnecting with that

[02:00:47] [SPEAKER_08]: number four

[02:02:45] [SPEAKER_08]: blink twice no I'm interested in it

[02:02:47] [SPEAKER_08]: number nine is just big up on me four

[02:02:49] [SPEAKER_08]: didn't see it then so far I

[02:02:52] [SPEAKER_08]: haven't missed much now three

[02:02:54] [SPEAKER_07]: times

[02:02:55] [SPEAKER_08]: number ten is that movie the front room

[02:02:58] [SPEAKER_08]: the 824 horror

[02:03:00] [SPEAKER_08]: with brandy norwood

[02:03:02] [SPEAKER_08]: uh they got very bad reviews yes

[02:03:04] [SPEAKER_08]: I didn't see it very odd

[02:03:06] [SPEAKER_08]: looking film I mean we're done

[02:03:08] [SPEAKER_08]: people just it's really like a

[02:03:10] [SPEAKER_08]: three star fine experience I did

[02:03:12] [SPEAKER_08]: I did like the tim Burton did

[02:03:14] [SPEAKER_08]: practical stuff and I hope he does

[02:03:16] [SPEAKER_08]: another interesting movie and I think

[02:03:18] [SPEAKER_08]: he's great in it and it's fine nice

[02:03:20] [SPEAKER_08]: to see the people and I had a fine

[02:03:22] [SPEAKER_08]: time and I'm glad it's doing well yeah

[02:03:24] [SPEAKER_08]: I I wish it no

[02:03:26] [SPEAKER_08]: ill same

[02:03:29] [SPEAKER_09]: sometimes there is

[02:03:30] [SPEAKER_09]: a movie that is a big hit and you

[02:03:32] [SPEAKER_09]: and I both say

[02:03:33] [SPEAKER_09]: this nothing good can come of this

[02:03:36] [SPEAKER_09]: this is a net negative for

[02:03:38] [SPEAKER_09]: society I think I also wonderland

[02:03:40] [SPEAKER_09]: was one of those where you're like

[02:03:42] [SPEAKER_09]: this is bad this is culturally bad for

[02:03:44] [SPEAKER_09]: this movie to do this well is encouraging

[02:03:45] [SPEAKER_09]: all the wrong things

[02:03:48] [SPEAKER_09]: I think what's kind of interesting

[02:03:49] [SPEAKER_09]: about the legacy cool thing

[02:03:50] [SPEAKER_09]: which has really replaced the

[02:03:52] [SPEAKER_09]: build an overarching franchise that can run

[02:03:54] [SPEAKER_09]: for everything is that we're

[02:03:57] [SPEAKER_09]: pretty close to hitting the bottom of the bucket

[02:03:58] [SPEAKER_08]: we're almost done like we're going to be

[02:04:00] [SPEAKER_08]: like you know crawl origins or whatever

[02:04:03] [SPEAKER_08]: and I'm just like yeah you're you're out

[02:04:04] [SPEAKER_08]: you're done because by it's very nature the thing has to be

[02:04:06] [SPEAKER_08]: we didn't sequelize this to death at the time

[02:04:09] [SPEAKER_08]: right it has to be something that

[02:04:10] [SPEAKER_08]: basically was a flop it's fracking it's

[02:04:13] [SPEAKER_08]: like this is untapped

[02:04:15] [SPEAKER_08]: that is a good call right

[02:04:16] [SPEAKER_08]: you were we're blowing up the tops of

[02:04:19] [SPEAKER_08]: mountains just right there's anything in there

[02:04:21] [SPEAKER_09]: and it's like what ones where the main

[02:04:23] [SPEAKER_09]: actors are still alive and have some cultural

[02:04:25] [SPEAKER_09]: relevancy and there's something to say and they

[02:04:27] [SPEAKER_09]: were popular at the time they're still popular now

[02:04:29] [SPEAKER_09]: it's like this does feel like kind of

[02:04:31] [SPEAKER_09]: the one of the last ones that

[02:04:33] [SPEAKER_09]: even theoretically has some power

[02:04:35] [SPEAKER_09]: so I don't know I think

[02:04:37] [SPEAKER_05]: we're finally ready for the

[02:04:39] [SPEAKER_05]: alf

[02:04:40] [SPEAKER_09]: and I'm gonna ask a question

[02:04:43] [SPEAKER_09]: what would alf be like

[02:04:45] [SPEAKER_09]: through the twisted lens of tim Burton

[02:04:47] [SPEAKER_09]: Tim Burton's right in high

[02:04:49] [SPEAKER_09]: off of Beelge's Beetlege's

[02:04:50] [SPEAKER_09]: what if he got his twisted fingers

[02:04:53] [SPEAKER_08]: you put alf in a pinstripe suit
