The Podcast Holiday Special with Pilot Viruet

[00:00:21] Do you know that AirBud now no longer works with Disney has their own company called AirBud Entertainment

[00:00:27] And they're just making other films about talking animal

[00:00:30] But they're called like AirBud presents. I mean that's kind of my ideal job

[00:00:36] There's one of them social media for AirBud Entertainment. Yeah, you started recording. You start recording?

[00:00:42] Let's keep all of this. Ho Ho Ho

[00:00:45] Merry life day. Hi guys. Hey everybody. I'm Griffin

[00:00:52] That's David. Yeah with us as always producer Ben aka the very sleepy Ben Deuster Santa Haas

[00:01:01] I was so I felt like I thought you were done. I thought it was over. You thought you're out, but no no back talking about this fucking franchise

[00:01:09] This is I mean this is actually the very last time. This is it

[00:01:12] This is a little sad. It's a little sad

[00:01:14] We're actually gonna record one more episode we should make that clear at the time that we're recording this

[00:01:19] We have not yet seen the Force Awakens

[00:01:21] Yeah, but we will have seen it by the time that this comes out and that episode will come out before this episode comes out very interesting

[00:01:28] I don't think that people didn't know this at all actually

[00:01:31] Fascinating, you know what is fascinating the Star Wars holiday special. Yep, and you know it's even more fascinating than that our guests very special

[00:01:39] Hi

[00:01:40] Hey, I'm pilot. It's pilot Barrowette. You said my last name. I oh did it cheese a

[00:01:47] Wonderful friend of both of ours. She started our trivia team. Yep. Yeah, and then I quit it you quit it early

[00:01:55] Yeah, but you quit it when when me and Griffin got to it

[00:01:59] And made it no fun anymore. Yeah, but that that made us this is

[00:02:04] roster of like having every member of our film trivia a team on this podcast

[00:02:10] Had Chase. Yes, we've had Lang Rachel Lang

[00:02:14] We haven't had Joe Reed yet. He'll be on at some point. Yeah, I don't think you really wanted to talk about Star Wars

[00:02:19] No, I mean, I don't really want to talk about Star Wars, but we made you come in anyway

[00:02:22] This was all Griffin's idea. Well because this isn't really a Star Wars movie. It's something it's something in between

[00:02:29] But pilot hi, how are you doing? I'm good. Sorry that we made you do this

[00:02:33] It's okay, and I don't mean come in and talk to us

[00:02:36] That's that's obviously a wonderful thing to do but made you watch it. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't like it

[00:02:42] I did say I think in the email I sent to you or one of the texts that I think the world will be better for you having seen

[00:02:51] Not that you would enjoy watching this, but I think you having this knowledge can only

[00:02:56] Create further honestly think I've already blocked it all out of my memory perfect. I mean you are somewhat of a connoisseur of

[00:03:03] Bad things that's true of like bad movies or movies that some people don't like I guess is a better

[00:03:08] I wouldn't call them bad right?

[00:03:09] I mean I would call them like they're just so amazing people don't realize right like like the airbud movies

[00:03:15] Which we were just discussing off your big fan. I mean those are legitimately good

[00:03:19] You don't like the buddies. No don't like the buddy. We don't talk about the direct to video the airbuddies

[00:03:24] Yeah, they were only the first two airbud films were theatrical. Yeah, all of them

[00:03:28] Are the first airbud is basketball?

[00:03:30] I think someone like also direct to like ABC family sure you mean direct to freeform freeform starting in 2016

[00:03:36] And well, what's the second airbug golden receiver? Yeah, so that's football. Yeah. Yes, okay

[00:03:42] Just just getting this straight

[00:03:44] Was it like seven inning fetch a huh spikes back spikes back yet a soccer one

[00:03:50] No spikes backs to the volleyball. Yeah, what's a soccer one world pop world pop. Oh my god

[00:03:55] That's such a bad part. It's terrible and there has to be one other one right world

[00:04:00] volleyball

[00:04:02] The airbud series are hockey one there should be a hockey one

[00:04:08] No, you guys have named all five of the film. Yes, okay

[00:04:12] And then there have been many subsequent air buddies films air buddies nobody's yeah

[00:04:17] Space buddies is the worst of them. So are these just like this just talking dog

[00:04:20] We're just talking dogs. Oh sometimes they like after steal like gems from like evil people

[00:04:25] But like there's no way there's one called

[00:04:28] Treasure buddies the buddies find themselves in Indiana Jones style adventure

[00:04:34] Yeah, that's like the whole movie. I mean sometimes they like chase their tail

[00:04:40] apparently

[00:04:42] Apparently Tom Everett Scott is the voice of one of the air buddies though

[00:04:45] Yeah, so you look up Santa buddies cuz someone interesting plays Santa Claus and Santa buddies

[00:04:50] I'm not right. Is it Olivier? Yeah. Oh, I watched that last year

[00:04:54] And are there two Santa buddies? I thought they were Santa buddies and snow buddies. I think you're right

[00:04:59] Snow buddy George went place. Yes

[00:05:03] It's a good casting choice snow buddies is proceeds Santa buddies that seems to have a husky in it

[00:05:09] Well snow buddies

[00:05:10] I think is maybe a crossover between snow dogs and air buddies is that possible

[00:05:14] I don't think so if not Chris Christofferson is the voice of an Alaskan Malibu. Oh wow

[00:05:20] Snow dogs

[00:05:22] Yes, no dogs is different. They get to clean one coming out. Yeah, how do you feel about eight below?

[00:05:28] Is that just the one with all the huskies? It's the one with Paul Walker. Paul Walker. Yeah, they don't talk

[00:05:33] No

[00:05:37] Yeah, well in English

[00:05:39] That's that films pray like somber right that's like him try and stop dogs from

[00:05:43] No, let's not talk about

[00:05:45] He was our beautiful baby boy. I just know you guys both like Paul. Yeah, we love him

[00:05:48] I have that lock it with this picture you do which is really have you seen that lock it? Yeah, it has about seven other

[00:05:56] Anyway hi pilot so yeah, you're a bit of a connoisseur

[00:06:01] Of you know weird bits of pop culture fringe marginalia and this is a classic example

[00:06:07] Well, you are a pop culture writer

[00:06:09] So I've read a very broad term. Yeah within that umbrella you have done many different things

[00:06:13] Yes, but but you are someone who studies pop culture in all its different forms

[00:06:17] Sure, if you and recap and analyze and you know, yeah

[00:06:23] Let's not want to to draw on horn. Sure. Sometimes I write things

[00:06:27] A lot a lot you're a labor wire now. You're a free agent

[00:06:30] Yep doing all kinds of cool stuff sleeping a lot sleeping a lot cool one of the best thing stake it in the morning

[00:06:36] Yeah, oh my god. That was such a good state now. So you recently watched all six

[00:06:43] Traditional stars

[00:06:46] Any of them we've never seen them we're just it didn't pop on the radar

[00:06:50] Yeah, I just never watched them like when I guess the

[00:06:55] Prequel things came out right? Right? Yeah, and then by that point

[00:06:58] I was just saying I don't want to watch them right like I don't know but but in anticipation

[00:07:02] I assume of the new movie your friends marathon. Yes, yeah

[00:07:06] And then they made me watch them too, right?

[00:07:08] Because I was promised that we would watch the Fast and Furious franchise on a small screen

[00:07:12] But they played football. Yeah, so this was like a reap. It was a terrible day

[00:07:17] They tricked you but so what was your take? It's a trap. It's a trap. I

[00:07:25] Really like the second one. This is I like this pilots favorite was attack of the clone

[00:07:31] Yeah

[00:07:36] I mean if you're doing a silly is like a slapstick film, it's the best of all of them

[00:07:41] We'll see three P. L kills it in that movie and also Hayden Christiansen is amazing

[00:07:45] One of the funniest actors we just transfixed by yeah

[00:07:48] Well, I think he just like he kind of transcended bad acting to a point where it was almost good, right?

[00:07:53] It was just its own thing. Yeah, like it wasn't so much

[00:07:56] It was just like trying to talk and move at the same time

[00:08:01] Wonderful I'm gonna mangle this but you had a tweet while watching it

[00:08:04] That was like watching Hayden Christiansen performance like watching someone learn how to talk for the first time. Yeah, and they're like still feeling it out

[00:08:10] Yeah, there's so feeling I mean it's true right you're watching someone

[00:08:13] Yeah have struggled doing two things at the same time

[00:08:15] And he's so bad at just those two things and then he asked to also try to convey emotion

[00:08:19] And it doesn't work and then there's a lot of crazy stuff happening around them at all time

[00:08:23] Yeah

[00:08:26] I thought it was squand

[00:08:30] Pitching Nickelodeon's

[00:08:34] Thinking about squand the entire week before and then

[00:08:39] Yeah, it's great

[00:08:41] It was like when GAC was so big and they were like what's other things we can create and it was like a mushy sand type

[00:08:47] Disgusting okay. Yeah, it is true the Phantom Mass has a lot of GAC placement, too

[00:08:52] So it makes sense that you talked about squand in the second one. Oh my god, this stuff looks weird. It is weird

[00:08:56] It was great. All right Hayden Christiansen hates it

[00:08:59] There's a YouTube video called squand commercial slowed down which I'm gonna watch

[00:09:04] You also send me that like yeah, well so it's a clone was your favorite. Oh, yeah

[00:09:09] Phantom Manus quick thoughts. Which one is that the first one pod race? Oh, yeah

[00:09:13] I like the pod race. Yeah, no one told me how racist that movie was. Yeah very racist. Yeah, um

[00:09:19] I was one that JoJo was kind of mentally

[00:09:22] But I thought it was a joke when someone told me that and then I watched it

[00:09:26] I was like, oh, you mean you couldn't believe that in 1999 such a thing would happen in a

[00:09:32] sci-fi franchise movie. Yeah, that was it that movie didn't make me feel great

[00:09:35] Also the Neymorians and Wato the flying space shoe. I don't know what you're talking about Wato's the slave owner

[00:09:41] Who's clearly he looks like my dad

[00:09:44] The movie that like there was one line where someone just goes well, I'm not here to feed a slave

[00:09:50] Yeah, yeah, that's the one that's about slave. Yeah, I didn't like that

[00:09:54] revenge of the Sith

[00:09:56] Anakin murders a bunch of children. Oh, that was great

[00:10:01] My guess is by the time we were getting to the older movies you were probably just like sleepy and yeah

[00:10:07] Yeah, I was very drunk. I don't remember the last

[00:10:11] Well great perfect. I know

[00:10:16] There was something about droids

[00:10:18] Yeah, a bunch of oh and I was really mad because Todd had spoiled the whole thing about like

[00:10:25] Our mutual friend Todd Banderwurf

[00:10:27] He's spoiled like Hayden Christensen is Darth Vader and I didn't know that yeah

[00:10:31] It's crazy pilot had somehow managed to dodge that famous

[00:10:36] You knew her like Darth Vader was

[00:10:39] I knew that Darth Vader was someone's dad like that's what I knew going

[00:10:45] Yes, and I knew that Yoda spoke backwards sure and I

[00:10:49] Yeah, I think that's actually all I knew

[00:10:50] And I knew there was someone named Anakin because I was my hamster's name but that was it

[00:10:53] Why did you name the hamster Anakin?

[00:10:55] We got him when we went to Burger King and they were handing off me Anakin posters

[00:10:59] So I named him Anakin but then Kulada bit his head off and I woke up to a dead headless hamster

[00:11:04] Your other

[00:11:06] Yeah, could be also the Dunkin Donuts that day. I love food

[00:11:10] So Anakin really has only ever caused heartbreak for people. Yeah, so I just like I only associated Star Wars with this headless hamster

[00:11:18] So I wasn't really super into watching it as opposed to a young man who kills children. Yeah, which is better

[00:11:23] Yeah, yeah, no question. No one likes children

[00:11:26] But so just to set up what we're talking about today. Yes, we're talking about the Star Wars holiday special

[00:11:32] 1978 which right which which aired on CBS

[00:11:37] Like a year after Star Wars came out I guess more like 18 months after yeah, it's Christmas right may yes

[00:11:43] It's like 18 months later. Star Wars is like an idea like let's keep Star Wars out there

[00:11:47] You know before the sequel well this was also kind of what was done like this was a time

[00:11:53] Yeah, you do variety specials and people were reprising their characters over and over again like people were less precious about your franchise

[00:12:00] You know your outlets and why the things were canon or not

[00:12:03] You just like would do stuff and like Bella Lagos see would still go on TV and play Dracula like 70 billion years later

[00:12:10] You know, these things happen. So I think they went to them

[00:12:13] They went oh man big ratings event if we could do a Star Wars holiday special

[00:12:16] We know there's gonna be a sequel but it's a couple years off. Yeah, it's coming

[00:12:19] Let's just get something out there

[00:12:21] So they went to Georgie Boy Lucas Georgie Porgy and said hey

[00:12:24] Star Wars holiday special and he went I don't have the time. I'm making Star Wars

[00:12:29] Movies, but if you want to do it sure here's my idea and he threw an idea over his shoulder as he walked away

[00:12:35] Yeah, Chewbacca's got to get back home for the holidays with his family

[00:12:39] I think he gave them apparently gave him like a little book of like wookie mythology that he'd written like way back in the day

[00:12:46] When he was like right in the first Star Wars, but he also consulted it. He threw that book over his shoulder

[00:12:52] So after about 10 minutes of watching this I had to like Wikipedia it because I realized I didn't think that it was

[00:12:58] Out of the actual franchise. I thought it was like some fan made thing on YouTube that just got like popular and looks like that

[00:13:05] Yeah, and apparently it's like a legit thing. It's it's it was a little e-made

[00:13:11] Now what is funny is it only aired once it has never aired again or been sold in any physical media

[00:13:17] Yeah, so George apparently Carrie Fisher has a copy of it because she asked George Lucas for a tape and she puts it

[00:13:23] On at the end of her parties so that everyone will leave

[00:13:26] That's something she said in an interview one

[00:13:27] I don't remember what it is, but she asked for it as payment for something else

[00:13:31] She has to do commentary comment here because I did read that wiki this morning

[00:13:34] Right. She was like, I'll do the commentary if you give me a copy. Yeah, so he has no hand

[00:13:38] We just terrible payment

[00:13:40] Hey, you know the heart wants what it wants pilot

[00:13:43] I was trying to look up the ratings this got like whether it was a hit

[00:13:47] But I can't find any info from like Nielsen

[00:13:49] Well, so you know larger picture before we get into the meat of this piece the meat of this piece

[00:13:55] Yeah, the meat. Okay, the Bantha loin if you will yeah

[00:14:00] It's a tip our hat to the future

[00:14:04] Did you see this part we all have to talk?

[00:14:07] I'm pretty sure the pilot turned this on I'm watching it right now behind me

[00:14:11] Behind pilot head Jesus and just started skipping through it because it's demented

[00:14:16] No, I kept it all on I just never really looked at the screen

[00:14:18] I mean, I think if you focused in on this movie you'd go mad

[00:14:21] So I think you need to sort of keep yourself at a distance from it

[00:14:25] George Lucas has no say in the making of this film. He gives him the idea

[00:14:29] He gives him the legal rights they contract some of the original actors

[00:14:34] They get a lot of new people they have a team of writers including Bruce Valanche right a bunch of jokes and script

[00:14:40] Who really tried to get his name taken off this Bruce Valanche tried to get his name taken off

[00:14:45] Yeah, that's how bad this thing is and director was like a TV guy and they made this thing and no one had really seen it

[00:14:51] And it aired 1978 really hyped up. Oh my god new Star Wars for the first time since Star Wars came out

[00:14:57] We're getting a new Star Wars thing

[00:14:59] Yeah, and the legend is that like it starts kind of classically Star Wars

[00:15:05] I'm driving as fast as I can the traffic's bad

[00:15:08] Banser, you know like that's essentially what's happening. I gotta get you back in time. Geez, you know

[00:15:13] He seems like he's late. Yeah, that holiday starts in two hours. We gotta get back

[00:15:18] This movie Mark Hamill Harrison Ford

[00:15:22] They're all like completely blissed out everyone's on drugs in the console looks like he's having a gun pointed at him

[00:15:27] I mean Harrison Ford like he looks so unhappy. Yes Mark Hamill and and Carrie Fisher literally look like they are on like

[00:15:36] Carrie Fisher is swaying most of the time

[00:15:39] She looks like she's in a cult. Yeah, I didn't like totally there

[00:15:42] She is yeah

[00:15:42] They didn't totally get her costume right so they kind of just draped a sheet over her and she just looks like she's like a moon person

[00:15:49] Her pupils are very dilated

[00:15:52] Okay, so opening of the film looks like Star Wars right there in the cockpit holiday starts in two hours. We gotta get moving. What is life day?

[00:15:59] Hey, that's what we have the next hour to discuss. Okay. We got to crack this code

[00:16:04] That's the mystery or try because that's something that they made up just for this

[00:16:07] It's a wookie holiday. Yeah, but it's like wookie Christmas. I guess I have one more question

[00:16:12] Oh, wookie is an Ewoks the same or am I just racist different races?

[00:16:16] But it should be acknowledged initially in which one the Jedi those are supposed to be wookie

[00:16:21] Interesting like that was the initial idea was like the furry indigenous folk would just be what so the little tiny guys that I love

[00:16:29] And Chewbacca is a wookie

[00:16:31] Species and the wookie and they mate

[00:16:34] Who knows I mean look anyone can made

[00:16:37] I don't know how it's gonna turn out. Yeah, I mean

[00:16:39] Yeah, the wookie is kind of

[00:16:41] Where's the Ewoks and we're like?

[00:16:45] Exactly the opening starts out all right. Are you gonna describe the opening for us again?

[00:16:50] Chewbacca

[00:16:52] But this is like it's a beautiful turning point right cuz like America's watching yeah, here we go. Yeah, they're racing around

[00:16:58] It's 1978 right sure. I think maybe five VCRs exist

[00:17:04] No, cuz this is a key part of the legacy of this film right it's true

[00:17:07] Maybe five VCRs exist and two of them are watching you know this special as I'm watching it over

[00:17:17] As they hit hyperdrive they go the Star Wars holiday special list the whole cast

[00:17:22] Oh my god all my favorite actors all their faces like looking at the camera waving and Mark Hamill is like covered in white

[00:17:27] Pancake makeup for no reason. Yeah, and then all these new stars who will get to in a second

[00:17:31] And then it makes a hard cut right when the credits are over it makes a hard cut to like a Hannah Barbara

[00:17:38] background drawing of a tree house

[00:17:41] Right like a like a very like not a lot of shading even like what is very clearly a two-dimensional

[00:17:47] Yeah, like crayon drawing. They didn't have a matte painting ready for this. Yeah. Yeah, I watched this three hours ago

[00:17:55] It's a group hallucination

[00:17:58] There's a slow zoom in on the tree house and then they cut to inside as Chewbacca's wife Mala

[00:18:04] His dad itchy

[00:18:06] Mm-hmm, and his son lumpy right and the next ten minutes. That's a pretty rude name

[00:18:11] By the way, his dad looks insane insane

[00:18:14] The other two basically look like Chewbacca's like lumpy is like a little Chewbacca and the wife is like kind of just Chewbacca with an apron

[00:18:21] Yeah

[00:18:23] She wears an apron so that you can tell that she's not Chewbacca, but itchy the dad looks like Nick Nolte

[00:18:29] He's the Nick Nolte of lookies very strange looking

[00:18:33] What happens is then there is

[00:18:36] 15 fucking minutes right with no ad break. Yeah, it's crazy how few ad breaks there are in 15 minutes of just this

[00:18:42] Is an hour and 37 minutes long it aired in a two-hour time slot

[00:18:45] Yeah, there weren't a lot of ads to call an hour 18 now to call what happens next a

[00:18:51] domestic drama

[00:18:53] Would be an insult to the term drama

[00:18:55] It is domestic and we just watched 15 minutes of them doing assorted tasks around their house

[00:19:02] Speaking in wookie with no sub-type. Yeah, just yeah

[00:19:06] I don't like how gendered this is it's very very gendered

[00:19:10] Her big scene is she gets to make dinner like that's her big action. She can't even do it well. Yes

[00:19:16] Although like what is the dad's big scene so they all have like these little

[00:19:23] Plugs in to throw down a little

[00:19:26] The point I want to make just before we start getting into trying to break it's insane. It's insane. It's insane

[00:19:32] Oh, and they live in this like very 70s house

[00:19:34] This is a big open-plan house with a staircase like it looks like Joey's house in the sitcom Joey

[00:19:39] I don't know if anyone has seen Joey. Yeah, I mean obviously

[00:19:43] I've seen Joey

[00:19:46] Yeah, I almost

[00:19:52] The point I want to make before we start getting

[00:19:58] Oh man before we start like breaking this down on a micro level

[00:20:03] The legend sort of is that at this point somewhere along these 15 minutes of just wookie's doing stuff

[00:20:10] 75% of the viewing audience turns

[00:20:12] Right why wouldn't they the ratings were like really big for the first two minutes of Han Solo and Chewbacca in the cockpit

[00:20:18] And then everyone starts turning off

[00:20:20] So there are like two people who still keep recording this back. Yeah, who are like no

[00:20:25] I'm maybe something interesting is gonna happen right in the next two hours keeps the VCR running apparently Bruce

[00:20:31] Vellanche said like he can't believe he couldn't believe that they did all this wookie stuff because it took

[00:20:36] Hope Bruce Vellanche the only noise wookie make wookie's make our fat guy orgasm

[00:20:40] That's such a valance. It is I mean he's a fat guy. Yeah

[00:20:44] Thanks, Bruce. I was kind of hoping the entire thing would be in that language with no subtitles

[00:20:48] That would be impressive. It'd be audacious. I would argue they made the worst

[00:20:53] Also a lot of it is yeah, it's too much, but it's somehow not enough

[00:20:57] I agree. I think they need either need to be a hundred percent or zero

[00:21:01] Although do 40% is really tough

[00:21:03] I just want I did find the ratings data according to Nielsen Media Research

[00:21:07] It was seen by 13 million television households finishing second to loveboat

[00:21:11] Just an episode of love yeah. Yeah

[00:21:15] Star Wars episode of love it was a star was a

[00:21:18] Um, but a lot people

[00:21:20] Tuned out George Lucas apparently caught it

[00:21:22] I know you say my laugh randomly because I just caught it again in the corner of my

[00:21:29] I'm just sitting silently watching the special on the computer like the dad looks like the abominable snowman

[00:21:35] Yeah, I know you said here we're coming up to a part. I like to talk about which is their entertainment

[00:21:41] So they turn on like a chess set, but it turns into like this wacky interpretive dance. It's like Cirque de Soleil

[00:21:47] Is this war

[00:21:52] Humans dancing this is what I had to stop and see if it was actually a real thing

[00:21:58] They're basically watching like an episode of the electric company done by French acrobats

[00:22:03] Like it is there's like a rainbow arch that they all tumble out of and they're okay

[00:22:08] This series has I know there was only one Star Wars movie at this point

[00:22:11] But they've established what aliens look like and what humans look like and these performers on this little robot table

[00:22:19] Look like humans with green jumpsuits

[00:22:23] So are they supposed to be within the reality of this film little aliens or

[00:22:27] Humans who are wearing like green face and pretending to be alien

[00:22:31] Yeah, I think it's humans pretend to be aliens right and I think it's really offensive

[00:22:34] But maybe the wookies are kind of offensive. Maybe they like weird like human minstrelry

[00:22:41] So I mean they definitely like it. They look at look at lumpy. He's transfixed right now

[00:22:45] It's a complete this point

[00:22:47] But I've been trying to make yeah, go ahead

[00:22:49] Sorry everyone turns it off the ratings dip

[00:22:51] You know it probably start out with 20 million viewers ended at 13 and two people record the thing the whole way

[00:22:57] George Lucas apparently watches it and 30 minutes and calls up and there's like who the fuck let this happen

[00:23:02] And he's flipping out and like just yelling at everybody and so the second the special ends

[00:23:08] He like gets himself to CBS headquarters has them give him the master tape. Yeah, and like

[00:23:14] Just pulls back every single possible copy of the film

[00:23:17] I believe he has said like if I could smash every single tape I would well, so that's the point

[00:23:22] You think you would have like watched it before it aired too busy. It's true

[00:23:26] It's true. He probably went 37 minutes

[00:23:29] Like I'm pretty busy and I watched it

[00:23:31] But this was also the last time that George Lucas until he sold disney didn't have 100 control over everything

[00:23:37] This sort of taught him a lesson is what you're on it made him too controlling

[00:23:40] I would say as a result in response to this

[00:23:42] But the way we're still able to see this movie is the two people who recorded it on their primitive 1978 vcrs

[00:23:48] Like made dupes of dupes of do so it just sort of got passed around as this weird like culty

[00:23:53] For decades you have to go to a comic convention

[00:23:56] Everything in this movie still happened

[00:23:58] This movie feels like it's 17 hours here's clearly what happened

[00:24:02] They were like, okay, you get Harrison Ford. You get mark hamill. You get you get all those guys for five minutes each of them

[00:24:08] So so you got an hour and a half of nothing you got a fill

[00:24:12] And so and like your new main character art carney

[00:24:16] So they just there's just like a lot of bits like there's that chest sequence

[00:24:20] I mean that dancing sequence on the holographic chest. It's just tiny people on trivia pursuit board

[00:24:25] Yeah, but by calling them bits you make it sound like it's funny

[00:24:28] Yeah, like they feel more like like segments in like Matthew Barney's cream master cycle

[00:24:33] Like they're just visual repetition. They are works of anti-comedy. They are the cooking segment

[00:24:39] Which I believe is the next segment. That's my favorite part of the entire in in which no, it's not

[00:24:43] It's my second favorite part. Yeah the dying carol or is it the b r? No, b r third is my favorite part

[00:24:47] It's it's the one part of the special I would argue is legitimately good. Yeah, so I would disagree

[00:24:51] Well, the cartoon's all right

[00:24:52] So this is mark hamill is now Skyping in to see how Chewbacca's family is doing

[00:24:57] By the way, r2 is just farting dry ice everywhere

[00:25:01] It seemed for no good reason and I think they were just like we need some business to happen

[00:25:06] So let's just pour some dry ice onto this. There's a part where mark hamill says

[00:25:10] Okay, he's just shooting dry ice around

[00:25:12] There's a part where mark hamill says like come on guys. Don't be so sad

[00:25:17] Come on lumpy give me a smile and they cut back to lumpy and his face is like the same

[00:25:21] Like grimace like constipated wookie face he has and it looks like come on. Give me a smile

[00:25:27] He says it to the wife. Oh, he says it to the wife

[00:25:29] You're right, he says it to the wife

[00:25:32] Sticking out to me just like oh that's so disgusting

[00:25:35] No, he says that come on. That would be such a thing piece right now

[00:25:37] It would

[00:25:38] He says come on cheer up

[00:25:39] Her face is the same and then he goes come on mala give me a smile

[00:25:43] And then she makes the exact same face and he goes there we go

[00:25:48] Because the faces were so in expressive they couldn't make them smile

[00:25:51] So he just has to react as if she smiled even though all she does is just open her teeth a little bit

[00:25:56] Um, yeah, what was I gonna say? Oh looks so high. He looks proud of his mind

[00:26:01] I would not be surprised if this was like

[00:26:04] Two weeks after the car crash and he's on like a multitude of pain because his face is still so baby-faced

[00:26:09] It has to be before it's kind of weird

[00:26:11] Uh, but I don't that's a pair

[00:26:12] But the other thing is like the stakes of this movie are like Han and Chewie haven't arrived

[00:26:18] That's like the whole they're stuck in traffic. Yeah, it's like they're just waiting for them to show up

[00:26:22] For the party they call people and they're like they haven't arrived and the people are like they haven't arrived

[00:26:26] I'm sure they'll arrive like that's it. That's what everyone else just calls in

[00:26:30] There's all this business where art car

[00:26:32] Who is pretty much the lead of this award winner art car?

[00:26:35] He had already won I believe at the time the special camera Harry and Tonto. Yeah

[00:26:40] Uh legend of screens large and small. What did you think of art car knees performance?

[00:26:44] He plays the old junk shop guy friend of the wookies. Yeah, all I have I like wrote down on my phone

[00:26:51] Well in my phone. I was just like who is this guy and what is he doing?

[00:26:55] Right. I don't know what's happening at all. He's talking a lot

[00:26:58] Just like oh, we've got some gotta wall it over here. We've got some stuff over here

[00:27:02] I gotta admit it's like such dated

[00:27:05] Comedy. Yeah, but I love I kind of love it. It's like there's something about there's like these really corny lines

[00:27:12] He just throws out and like I was like I was like I'm all on board for this hammy shit

[00:27:19] My take is I think this character art car knees

[00:27:24] Wookie junk shop owner slash inventor not a wookie not a what he just lives among the wookie

[00:27:30] Right on a wookie planet that seemingly is otherwise only inhabited by wookies

[00:27:33] Is the one human that lives amongst them four years after he won an Oscar four years after he won

[00:27:37] Not long an Academy award

[00:27:41] He is kind of the lead of this movie. He's he's in it the most apart from the wookies. Yeah

[00:27:45] No, I think he's I mean he definitely has the most dialogue. Yeah. Yeah

[00:27:49] He's got these glasses like pushed all the way down his nose. He's like, yeah

[00:27:54] My shirt is really open. Yeah, his shirt's very open. He seems to be wearing just like a lambswoll shirt

[00:28:00] Uh, it kind of looks like polar tech, but it's 1978 so I assume it's it isn't

[00:28:06] This is my theory that I like to you know

[00:28:10] Kick around in my head go ahead 13 million people are watching this. Yeah

[00:28:15] Families are turning it off. Yeah, turning over to love right. They're live hating it, you know

[00:28:21] Whatever it was no live tweeting or maybe I think parents are probably like hey watching

[00:28:24] This is the thing you're so obsessed with today kids like really this thing

[00:28:28] This is the thing you went to see eight times that was when parents realized their kids were idiots

[00:28:32] This was the first time ever that people realized that kids were dumb

[00:28:35] So this scene of vader walking down a corridor reuse footage

[00:28:38] It's just reuse footage and the guy next to him bast. Yeah is in the movies

[00:28:42] But he dies in Star Wars, of course because the Death Star gets blown up right so on wikipedia on wikipedia

[00:28:47] There's an entry for chief bast lookalike who has to be unknown because this is canonical

[00:28:53] Yeah, there has to be another character who just looks exactly like him

[00:28:57] Wait, can I say my favorite thing about the Star Wars movies when I watched it was that Hayden christianson grew up to be teams

[00:29:02] Oh jones. Oh, yeah, which is amazing

[00:29:07] Yes, uh, this is my theory

[00:29:10] People are booing parents are yelling at their kids everyone hates it art carney starts doing his routine

[00:29:15] Uh, it's a wookie toothbrush also a hairbrush

[00:29:19] You know new prop. It's this and also that right? He's just improv

[00:29:23] I think everyone else is going what the fuck happened and one little boy sits there watching tv and goes

[00:29:29] This this is what I want to do when I grow up and that becomes carrot top

[00:29:33] Art carney's bit in this movie feels like let me see if the dates line up there

[00:29:37] The floor bear to carrot tops entire comedic 90 he's pretty old but carrot was born in 1965

[00:29:44] So he would have been 13 years old yeah, and I think he'd be like wait

[00:29:48] You can make jokes just by holding up a prop and saying it's two things

[00:29:54] Doesn't this feel like a proto carrot top routine?

[00:29:57] You're making me hate this more and more as we go

[00:30:00] I didn't think you were gonna tie carrot top in somehow right?

[00:30:05] Anyway, okay, so this is a great scene

[00:30:07] Uh, malla puts on her apron and has to get ready to make uh, bantha loin aka bantha dick

[00:30:13] For her family for life day dinner. Oh, yeah, I hated this now

[00:30:17] Who is this playing the forearmed chef harvey corvin one of the greatest comedic actors of all time

[00:30:22] So what's going on here? Because this scene isn't even funny

[00:30:26] Like not even in a like it doesn't even seem to be trying to be funny. No, I can tell you what the joke is supposed to be

[00:30:30] I embarrassingly have seen this three times

[00:30:33] I want to say I've never seen this very embarrassing. I've seen this love star wars. Yeah

[00:30:38] Um, the joke here is supposed to be that she's like the julia child of space

[00:30:43] But she has four arms right and so she teaches people how to cook and they're supposed to watch and cook along with her

[00:30:49] But they don't have four arms so they can't keep up with her

[00:30:52] That's what the joke is because julia child is also infamous for being a very challenging chef and like having challenging recipes

[00:31:00] And also having four arms. Yes and having four. Yeah, but she used those other two arms to just like

[00:31:06] Jack it played patty. I didn't want to say jack it. I'll let you say jack

[00:31:10] I'm very concerned about the hygiene issues of all that hair going into the food

[00:31:14] Yeah, she's got this crazy hair helmet. Yes. Um, oh you're talking about the wookie's

[00:31:20] Yeah, well you gotta assume if you're eating wookie cuisine, you're just you're just gonna have some hair, right?

[00:31:25] You just gotta assume it, right?

[00:31:27] Little hair is gonna get in there. Um, this scene is completely bonkers. It goes on for 45 minutes. It's incredibly long

[00:31:33] It's about the length of like a cooking show. Yep. Uh, I grew the pilot that's ridiculously gendered

[00:31:37] I don't know why a wookie would wear an apron. Yeah

[00:31:40] Wookies don't wear clothes

[00:31:42] So why are suddenly is she getting an apron? Well because she's a woman. She's in the kitchen

[00:31:46] Also, she doesn't want to get uh food all over her hair

[00:31:49] But like

[00:31:54] If that were the case, she should be wearing a hazmat suit. All right, let's jump along. I want to get to grandpa's part. Okay

[00:32:00] Is grandpa? I want to get to grandpa's part. That's my favorite part. It's like what?

[00:32:05] Who signed off on that? Yeah, there's there's some business where like the stormtroopers show up

[00:32:10] Which I doesn't make much sense

[00:32:11] Well, the arcana keratop routine is him trying to like evade suspicion from the empire

[00:32:17] The stormtroopers show up. No, have you skipped past Jefferson starship or is that earlier?

[00:32:21] That too that was

[00:32:24] All right, so grandpa plugs into his

[00:32:27] I don't know his mind porn machine. No, you're skipping over. That's a christmas

[00:32:30] That's a life day present that arcani brings to me. Oh, okay. Okay arcani comes bearing gifts and he goes

[00:32:35] Here are the things I love you. You're my close friends

[00:32:37] Here are the things i've gotten specifically for you and itchy's like

[00:32:41] And he's like no don't worry itchy

[00:32:43] I got you something you're gonna really like but I can't show it to you in front of everyone

[00:32:46] I'll come back here with me plugs him into a chair and immediately

[00:32:50] swirling colors

[00:32:52] And like

[00:32:54] Hello there

[00:32:55] How do you feel? It's insane. Do you like me?

[00:32:59] You should

[00:33:02] There's crazy disco

[00:33:05] Yeah, no that may be like very like physically upset. Yeah, I mean it's uncomfortable

[00:33:09] She's just trying to like fuck that kid wookie right? I mean no, this is the old man wookie, which is maybe worse

[00:33:15] Maybe better. It's diane carol. Yeah, like one of who's great the greatest singers like and entertainers

[00:33:22] And she's trying to seduce an animal essentially like a legendary figure the first um black woman to like be the lead

[00:33:32] In like an american tv bridge. So like like and what the hell is this?

[00:33:37] So she's wearing

[00:33:39] Her outfit is amazing. No, it is pretty great

[00:33:41] Her hair is almost linked to her sort of weird pink white dress. It's honestly just like the little kim thing

[00:33:47] She wore it to the mpb award. Yes one tits totally. Yeah. Yeah

[00:33:51] It's like a sling

[00:33:53] But she's not it's not like oh art carney bought

[00:33:57] Itchy some porn he's like i bought a machine that plugs into your brain and gives you exactly what you want to see most in the world

[00:34:05] So that's his ultimate fantasy is diane carol wearing a little kim dress

[00:34:10] Just telling him how nice he is

[00:34:13] And then singing a song

[00:34:14] She's also like the whole thing is sexual but in terms of what she actually says it's mostly just her being very complimentary of him

[00:34:20] Yeah, he just wants someone to respect. Yeah, right

[00:34:22] Well, it's sort of inches close like walks right up to the line of like her just like having mental sex with him

[00:34:28] And like a weird vr tape and then it kind of holds back and she starts singing

[00:34:31] She wants them to experience her

[00:34:32] Yeah, which is a really weird way to like hit on someone is like hey experience me

[00:34:37] Yeah, and now it's like it's like a kaleidoscope image

[00:34:41] Where it's like three diane carols on screen like different sizes like phasing in and out

[00:34:47] And that just looks like a kaleidoscope in the background

[00:34:49] It's like octagons like and this is about 30 minutes

[00:34:52] And so I think this might be where george really threw the line. Yeah

[00:34:56] Like pulled up found the tape you think this is where

[00:34:59] I think he's your grandpa's like george god is like 1978 dodge dart and he like drove over to the cbs lot

[00:35:05] And he was like what the fuck are you guys doing?

[00:35:08] It is pretty daring though. This is like 1978 and you're asking us to watch like what is a first person sequence like you're watching

[00:35:14] Someone's fantasy what this is is a variety show. They're just it's like a sci-fi variety show

[00:35:19] So like what would a sci-fi variety show look like I don't know maybe like a mental sex tape

[00:35:24] I don't know about weird french dancers

[00:35:27] Well like they wanted a diane carol number, but they didn't want to have like just like

[00:35:32] Ladies and gentlemen diane carol

[00:35:34] Yeah, that would have been so much better. Here's my pitch for sure. We should have been at the canteen

[00:35:38] Agreed agree agree at the bar. Yeah, and they're just like chatting and they're like, huh crazy

[00:35:43] We drive the millennium falcon. Whoa anyway, and then and then like a ladies gentlemen diane carol

[00:35:48] And she just gets on the stage to just watch her

[00:35:50] Right

[00:35:51] Correct octum's razor. That's what it should have been. It should have just been that. Yeah

[00:35:54] Instead it's this weird like

[00:35:57] This is an acid trap. Yeah, this is the part where she's sort of her she gets silhouetted and she's

[00:36:03] It's like a two thousand and one like white tunnel. Yeah

[00:36:08] Guys I know that now everyone listening to this episode has seen this thing

[00:36:12] I'm not going to say watch it because it's on youtube at least scan across it

[00:36:16] Maybe just check in with it. I would say watch it. It has to be seen to be believed for sure

[00:36:22] Uh leah messages in once again asking the same thing luke did which is like where where is c3p0

[00:36:28] Where where is a trubaca rather?

[00:36:31] She gets really angry at the fact that they're talking and wookie to her

[00:36:34] Uh, yeah, she's like hey, how are you folks doing and they're like oh and she's like Jesus

[00:36:39] I'm a fucking human being c3p0. Can you translate is it because she hates foreigners? Yeah

[00:36:44] Apparently

[00:36:47] She makes art carney come to the video

[00:36:49] That's true and like talk to her and explain what's going on and then once again is like well

[00:36:54] There's nothing we can do about it, but i'm sure he'll get there

[00:36:57] And she looks uh very sad

[00:37:00] Uh, well leah looks sad. Uh, no carry fisher looks sad

[00:37:04] Leia understandably so carry fisher looks miserable. Um

[00:37:09] What happens next is oh, we do briefly cut back to han solo here

[00:37:13] They're just it's well, let's get to the part where the storm trooper

[00:37:16] The storm trooper show up this part is not and this guy is crazy the guy who's like flicking his wrists around

[00:37:21] Yeah, he's like weird now. We've talked a lot about how in this trilogy a george uses like a lot of nazi-esque imagery

[00:37:28] From like the uniforms to their behavior, you know even some of the ships and everything is like trying to evoke that sort of like

[00:37:35] um

[00:37:37] Impressive dictatorship, you know

[00:37:39] Yeah, it's like really weird that I wouldn't kept recommending this to me and they're like, yeah, you know nazi imagery minstrel show like you should watch it

[00:37:47] You just like minions. You don't want to watch this nonsense

[00:37:50] Minions are pure is there any nazi imagery in the minions?

[00:37:53] No, they have a whole expression as why they cut out the whole nazi stuff

[00:37:56] Yeah, because right because they do of course they are attracted to evil or whatever

[00:37:59] And it goes through our history

[00:38:00] Yep, but they skip over the night because they were like frozen in the cave

[00:38:03] So they just frozen for the time to go from like napoleon to the 60s in the movie kind of I haven't seen minions. Oh my god

[00:38:12] Um, I find this chunk of the movie

[00:38:15] Genuinely disturbing and upsetting not because it is well done

[00:38:19] But because it like really dramatically as a recreation of like nazi investigations

[00:38:24] Oh, sure, you know, yeah, because like people are basically hiding under the floor. Yeah, it's like and frank

[00:38:28] Yeah, they're like looking for the rebel. Yeah, except and frank's family never tried to distract the nazis by playing a jefferson starship music

[00:38:38] My brain explodes when i'm watching this because on one hand like i'm a jewish person who constantly lives in some sort of

[00:38:45] Unconscious terror that like a group of people will come and try to kill out my entire race again

[00:38:49] Like that exists and so watching these scenes even when they're poorly done

[00:38:52] I'm like, fuck this could happen. I'd be hiding under a floor board here comes jefferson starship

[00:38:56] Just does a little not they're in a box. They're in a little toy box. It's kind of good. Yeah, they do

[00:39:01] They're kind of rocking out. I didn't know who that was. No, I mean, I don't really know who jefferson starship

[00:39:06] Well, here's how to answer that question. It was 1978. They needed a rock band to play the star wars holiday special

[00:39:13] Uh, what band has

[00:39:15] Star in there

[00:39:17] Yeah, that's the only reason they asked him to do this. That is I never even made that connection

[00:39:21] What's like a jefferson starship song that I would know

[00:39:24] The one from the star wars holiday special

[00:39:27] That's just starship right they evolve into starship. They went from jefferson airplane

[00:39:31] They were initially jefferson airplane who did like a white rabbit and uh, don't you want somebody to love

[00:39:35] We built this city has been stuck in my head since october, but I thought that it was journey this whole time

[00:39:41] No, no, no easy mistake to make it was it was starship singular. Okay

[00:39:47] God and then nothing's gonna stop us now. That's a jefferson starship song

[00:39:51] And or roll

[00:39:55] Yeah, uh anyway, who's against me? Ben has been already lost his mind. I want to say so here's the jefferson starship video

[00:40:01] Right the other thing that happens is lumpy goes to his room and watches a cartoon about his dad. Yeah

[00:40:08] It's almost like it's coming in as like a transmission, but it's like it's from the past right?

[00:40:12] It's not like what's happening right now. It's how they meet bullbuffet. Yeah, it's a weird side adventure where luke

[00:40:18] jui han

[00:40:20] Go to like a a planet that's made out of red goo like shaggy 70s animation. Yeah, it's clean stuff

[00:40:27] It's like it looks all right. I like the way it looks but i'm saying it's not like a clean conventional style

[00:40:31] It's like closer to like fritz the cat in aesthetics than it is to like, you know

[00:40:36] Uh the the hannah barbaro aesthetics of the tree house itself

[00:40:40] Uh, yeah, it's not hannah barbaro. Anyway, they watch this cartoon. Yeah, here's lumpy watching

[00:40:45] He's got these crazy headphones on and he's worried like he doesn't want

[00:40:49] Yeah, he's trying to shut the demons out and he also doesn't want the imperial forces to see the cartoon

[00:40:54] Yeah, that's sort of weird

[00:40:56] But uh, anyway, so the cartoon now we should mention was the introduction of boba fed is the introduction of boba

[00:41:01] It's the first time he appears the the guy with the green helmet and this sort of

[00:41:07] Okay, i'm just gonna he's the one who captures han solo in in your favorite film attack the clones

[00:41:12] He's the little boy who's sad when his dad dies. Oh, okay the one boy who said yeah, okay

[00:41:18] This guy

[00:41:19] Oh, he's adorable. That's who he grows up to be but he's the one who holds up his father's decapitated head and arena

[00:41:25] Hey, I will say though the cartoon is so garbage, but

[00:41:28] I kind of like that. It's better than the rest. Yeah, I would say definitely the quality of the artwork

[00:41:33] Yeah, like that style. I love me too. It's like so throwbacky and just like reminds me of I forget the movie now

[00:41:40] But there's like a classic 70s animated film heavy metal. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's like heavy metal

[00:41:46] Yeah, I really like the the shiny boba dude in the cartoon

[00:41:50] C3bio. Yeah, I thought he was great in the cartoon. Yeah, he is pretty good in the cartoon

[00:41:53] Yeah, very expressive eyes

[00:41:55] Um, so they watched this weird cartoon

[00:41:57] But look at this we're still on scenes of like kicking furniture around it just kind of disturbing makes me uncomfortable stuff

[00:42:03] Bantha which makes no sense banthas are from tatooine. This isn't tatooine. Sorry. You probably look laughing at me right now

[00:42:09] I have no idea what you're talking about

[00:42:12] Welcome to my fucking every week with these guys

[00:42:16] No idea what they're talking about. Ben, occasionally we would like get so deep that Ben would be like

[00:42:20] What are you talking about? Who are these? What are these names?

[00:42:24] Like you could just make up like complete words right now and I would just assume they're part of the Star Wars thing

[00:42:29] I have no idea

[00:42:30] Um, yeah, well, let's do that. I was about to try to think of a name, but all I can think of was lumpy

[00:42:36] Which is easy

[00:42:38] So I had totally forgotten about this but Wikipedia reminds me the next thing that happens is like harvey corman again

[00:42:44] Plays a robot just delivering like Jesus technical instructions

[00:42:49] The bit is that this is what once again what the joke is supposed to be

[00:42:52] The joke is supposed to be that he's doing an instructional video on how to set up your robot

[00:42:57] But he himself is a robot and he's malfunctioning

[00:43:00] So he's trying to explain how to make things work, but he himself doesn't work

[00:43:04] Hey, the editing though reminded me of tim and eric

[00:43:08] Yeah, I almost kind of feel like they're influenced by this somehow because it's so on like with what they do with that kind of like

[00:43:15] Like quick weird like edits and like the jerking of their heads and whatnot

[00:43:20] When the energy of this bit is very weird because he keeps on like essentially falling asleep

[00:43:26] Midline, so I didn't know he was a robot to right now. So now this makes a little bit more sense

[00:43:31] That's a good point. It he just looks like a person

[00:43:33] Yeah, I thought he was just like a creepy dude. It is not made clear once again. I've seen this three times

[00:43:39] I figured out that that's what they were trying to do

[00:43:41] No, I only know he's a robot because wikipedia says so

[00:43:46] Uh, no, this is made clear

[00:43:48] Harvey corman once again one of the greatest

[00:43:50] comedic actors of all time playing three

[00:43:54] Different roles wait, so what's the third one? He plays the chef. He plays the robot

[00:43:58] He plays the guy with the hole who drinks out of his head at the cantina the Arthur like pours the drink into his head

[00:44:04] He's in love with the Arthur

[00:44:06] So what happens next is the the

[00:44:08] Imperials come on the screen of like martial law has been declared in tattooing another planet

[00:44:13] Yeah, we cut there to a bar staffed by b Arthur. Oh, you're missing my emmy and golden globe winner b Arthur

[00:44:20] You're skipping my favorite. You missed the setup. I believe is now the setup your setup

[00:44:24] This is incredible. It doesn't make they go. Yeah, it makes no sense. They go and now as part of imperial regime

[00:44:31] Uh, we shall be showing you another installment of life on tattooing

[00:44:36] So you can see how their life is run feel better about yourself

[00:44:42] presented as always

[00:44:44] Uh, and the guy's like stammering as he's saying it like they can't figure out how to make the dialogue work

[00:44:48] presented as always

[00:44:49] Unscripted and unedited so essentially what they're saying is at a certain time in the day

[00:44:53] The empire forces all TVs to just play documentary footage of a place where everyone's sad

[00:45:00] And it's like it's like the most popular program

[00:45:04] You're just supposed to be just seeing raw footage so that everyone can feel better about their own lives

[00:45:09] It's just like investigation discovery. Yes

[00:45:11] I think it's just all these like really sad like stories about like murder and you're like, oh my life's okay now

[00:45:16] But but your tv automatically turns itself on at a given point in the day to do that live

[00:45:22] This is like live footage as it's happening. It's like if the investigation discovery was produced by barack obama

[00:45:29] And was a camera falling around people while they were murdered

[00:45:33] I would watch that yeah be a great show obama if you're listening, please

[00:45:37] Uh, get out. They'll be freezing. Yeah

[00:45:40] Uh, jeb would definitely do that show that might be a reason to vote for jeb jeb would definitely make that show happen

[00:45:45] Um, so they cut to I barely know what you guys

[00:45:47] Did you just endorse jeb bush right now? I said that would be a reason to vote for jeb

[00:45:52] That's all i'm gonna say and i'll let you put one on one together

[00:45:55] I'm voting for jeb. I don't know if she did ever win a golden globe, but she won a tony and an amy

[00:46:00] Jeb bush oh yeah jeb

[00:46:02] B Arthur is jeb bush. Yeah jeb bush has an egot. Yeah, he has an egot, of course

[00:46:06] He just only won two of them as b arthur

[00:46:09] He won his oscar as benicio del Toro

[00:46:12] And he won his golden globe

[00:46:15] No, that's the rumor willis he was named uh miss golden he won an eget you're saying he didn't win the uh,

[00:46:22] Emmy grammy oscar tony. Oh, it's grammy not called a club right? I forgot. No, but he won an eget

[00:46:26] Yeah, yeah, which is he won a golden globe as rumor willis as miss golden globe

[00:46:31] Won an oscar's benicio del Toro for traffic and then won two awards as b arthur

[00:46:35] Okay, so b arthur is so good at this. This is a legitimately. I think a really good performance

[00:46:39] Yeah, it's really fun

[00:46:40] So we cut to the cantina that we know from a new home performance that just comes out of nowhere

[00:46:44] Nowhere because she's actually playing it real. She's like goodbye. Goodbye. And you're what like who's this? Oh my god

[00:46:50] This is harvey cormin. No, I know so harvey cormin is a guy who thinks that

[00:46:54] That she's in love with him

[00:46:56] Because he went there the night before and she went goodbye until I see you again

[00:47:00] You know or whatever and he comes and he's drunk

[00:47:03] He's an alien got a hole in his head

[00:47:04] He has to pour the drinks into the top of his noggin and she's like look whatever you think I said

[00:47:09] Well, what you want to hear the whatever it wasn't like she says some crazy sentence

[00:47:13] And he's like no, but surely we love each other and then she says it to like six other guys

[00:47:18] And it's this weird little like slice of life drama of like the cantina which we had seen before is like

[00:47:23] Oh, this is a place of like scumbag and criminals and it's like all these people are just sad

[00:47:28] They're sad and they don't have anywhere else to go and they fall in love with anyone who even shows them a second of attention

[00:47:33] And then the government comes on the tv and is like also since of tattooing must leave immediately

[00:47:39] So the wookies are watching a tv show of what's happening live on tattooing

[00:47:43] Like uh

[00:47:44] What are they I don't know forget it. Sorry. I'll cut this out

[00:47:48] But then the tv tells them please keep that in the tv tells them that has to be in

[00:47:53] That they all have to their ground. I think that's what they say. Yes

[00:47:57] No, no

[00:47:58] The guys are really gonna debate the story on the wookie planet

[00:48:01] They're grounded on tattooing

[00:48:02] They want them all to leave because then b arthur's like out everybody out of the bond

[00:48:06] She sings a song called good night comma, but not goodbye because they won't leave and she's like fine one last round

[00:48:12] A drinks on me and the song is set to the music of the cantina music. They play

[00:48:17] Good night, but not goodbye

[00:48:21] All right. She doesn't have that deep of it

[00:48:25] She's smoking 100s. Yeah now I believe this is pre

[00:48:31] Golden girl it is. I think it's his pre mod of rebound. She's on mod. Yeah. Yeah

[00:48:36] And then there was one may have been canceled so it's mod had just been canceled. Oh

[00:48:41] All right, but I think she plays this character with a real emotional weight

[00:48:44] This is a woman who's surrounded all day by dead end people and dead end lives

[00:48:49] You know her job is to be a a temporary friend to people who have no one and she sits around as a bartender

[00:48:58] Let's have another drink

[00:49:00] Tyler what did you think of the scene with the author? I really love b author

[00:49:04] I love her. I love her. Are you a golden girl? I've never seen golden girls. I just I just like her existence feels like

[00:49:11] There's just so many episodes

[00:49:12] I know I know it's a real beast of marathon because pilot is very good at marathoning. You know classics of tv

[00:49:19] It's on my list

[00:49:21] But I I liked her I didn't like her scene. No the scene is rough. Do you like the song? No, you don't think it's catchy

[00:49:28] No, I thought it was a jam. I disagree with you. That's me. I jammed it

[00:49:34] I mean, I would watch like an entire sitcom based on like a star wise bar. Yeah. Yeah me too

[00:49:39] Show me a show that's just sad aliens. I mean like we said if the whole special was this I'd be more on board

[00:49:45] It's a little jarring. Yeah to cut to this and then cut right out of it. Okay, so here's my pitch

[00:49:51] I'm totally justified at though. David. It's a documentary that everyone has to watch all the time

[00:49:57] What do you mean?

[00:49:59] Here's my plan. I am going to cut this b arthur section out of the holiday special on its own

[00:50:05] So it's not jarring and then i'm going to submit

[00:50:08] Just that piece to the academy awards for consideration in their live action short category

[00:50:14] And I expect that I will be an oscar winner come february

[00:50:18] I'm calling it right here be sued by lucas. I don't think so because george pretends this movie doesn't exist

[00:50:25] Have you seen the conan segment though where they play this for harrison ford?

[00:50:28] He's so furious. Yes, because he's never seen it

[00:50:32] And he pretends that it doesn't exist because for a while lucas denied it existed

[00:50:37] Their attitude was like if no one can prove it happened

[00:50:40] Then it's just our word and these tapes kept on leaking out at like comic cons people were buying vhs's that were like

[00:50:47] 17th generation dupes and now with the internet like anyone can watch at any time

[00:50:51] Yeah poor george

[00:50:53] They should remaster it

[00:50:55] Yeah, you should um, you know do what he does with his films. This is the only one I want to see a special edition of

[00:51:01] So this movie after the b arthur sequence cuts back to the house the wookie house

[00:51:08] Han and shui arrive and there's like an action scene where they dispose of the storm troopers

[00:51:14] Yeah, many of them are murdered. You think that uh, uh, lumpy is about to be killed

[00:51:19] Yeah by a storm trooper he comes in lumpy's playing with his toy

[00:51:22] He throws the toy down the ground

[00:51:24] He picks his gun up off a shelf that he just put it on and then chases lumpy around the house

[00:51:28] And then chubaca and han solo come in and save the day

[00:51:31] It's like kind of a dark christmas special. It is well. It's not a christmas special. It's a holiday special

[00:51:36] It's a life special and and up until this point in the film

[00:51:39] We still don't know life is definitely a it's a science fiction concept

[00:51:45] Up until this point in the movie and I use that term loosely movie

[00:51:49] We still have no understanding of what life day is

[00:51:53] No, not at all. It's just a holiday and in terms according to wookie pedia. It's once every three years. Oh, very special. It's very important

[00:52:00] Um, I love that every time they go to like

[00:52:03] Luke or leah they go like man if I know chewie he'd never miss a life day

[00:52:07] And it's like you've known chewie for like three weeks

[00:52:10] Within the chronology of this film. You don't know him that well

[00:52:13] You don't know that he'd never miss a life day. You just met the guy. I mean, I never miss a life day

[00:52:17] Yeah, but to you I know you I've known you for years. I know that you never miss a life. That's what everyone knows about

[00:52:22] That's your twitter bio

[00:52:25] It is really funny where huntsville is like, I know I know life day. Don't worry. Don't worry. We're gonna make it

[00:52:30] We're gonna make it. I don't know what life day is. We know you'll love life day

[00:52:34] So when they go to the house and malla is like preparing banff the day

[00:52:39] And everyone's getting presents. You're like, this is just like christmas. It's just christmas

[00:52:43] They're gonna make a big dinner. They're gonna get some presents. That's all that it is

[00:52:46] Then chubaca puts on a blood red robe. Well, no, I want to before we get past it

[00:52:51] I just want to say the part between chubaca and his wife where they like

[00:52:55] Have that weird stare off and then like start making out. Yep very straight. Yep

[00:53:01] I mean, how do you they're in fursuits? How do you really represent intimacy? That was the only part of the movie I liked

[00:53:08] I mean, I'll say this is the most airbud part of the movie

[00:53:10] I mean it was the most relatable part

[00:53:13] If only they'd wink to the camera right after they kiss as someone who for six train going through a tunnel

[00:53:22] Pulling home

[00:53:26] I think it just cut to like a dog hopping another dog. Yeah. Yeah

[00:53:29] Um, I'm you know the guy who for six movies has wished that these films had more like

[00:53:34] Yeah, like unsimulated aggressive full penetration sex on screen

[00:53:38] And then this is like maybe you know probably like that

[00:53:43] Be careful what you wish for because I'm watching this kiss and I'm like, maybe I don't want sex to exist period

[00:53:48] You know, well, I mean the star wars universe basically just be on set. So they're definitely the star wars porn paradise

[00:53:54] Oh, yeah, how come you're not doing?

[00:53:57] Official canon

[00:53:59] What are you talking about you have read star wars porn fanfiction?

[00:54:02] I read it. Yeah three different times. I love that idea. Yeah, we've done that

[00:54:05] We've done that three different. Can we watch star wars porn and then oh you're saying we've never watched like whatever

[00:54:11] Star bones star, whatever

[00:54:13] I don't think we'll have the same spirit

[00:54:18] But there is an episode if you want to go in our back catalog where he reads me fanfiction about uh

[00:54:23] Qui-gon being filleted by obi-wan canobi at a glory hole on an alien planet. Excuse me a space glory hole

[00:54:30] None of these are words

[00:54:32] Um, so life day looks like a suicide cult

[00:54:36] They're all dressed too

[00:54:39] They are in some kind of dark chamber with very obvious like spotlights. There's dry ice everywhere C3po is leading the

[00:54:46] C3po and rgd2 are for some reason involved even though

[00:54:53] Chewbacca's there yeah

[00:54:55] Does he do anything he holds an orb right doesn't he hold a thing like a stone?

[00:55:00] I stop doing something. It just seems like part of tradition. Well the weird thing is

[00:55:05] I mean probably because the wookies can't speak leah

[00:55:09] Explains what life day is and then sings a song in celebration of life day

[00:55:13] And the song is to the tune of the star wars main

[00:55:18] But I want to point out carry fischer

[00:55:20] Does not get the high note at all like she bombs the high note of the star wars

[00:55:25] She gets the high

[00:55:27] I do catch your drift. Yes. Yeah, this is when I like stop watching yeah

[00:55:32] Wacked out on whatever she's whacked out. The song is literally her going like these days. We spend together

[00:55:40] Like it's her singing and it's clearly one take

[00:55:44] She can't stop swaying

[00:55:47] At a certain point she starts screaming and then punching Chewbacca in her chest and everyone has to

[00:55:51] Remind her to calm down and chill out

[00:55:55] She writes three screenplays during this musical number

[00:55:58] Carrie fischer one of the greatest screenplay writers. I was just making a coax screenplay job

[00:56:03] That's what I was doing, but she has a really good screenwriter

[00:56:05] Um, what did she written?

[00:56:07] Well postcards from the ad but I mean she was a famous like script doctor and then she did punch up on a lot of things

[00:56:12] Did she write this special? Yeah, she wrote this special. She did. Yeah. Oh, she's not a good fan. She coughed it onto a napkin

[00:56:17] And a party being held by uh, Joey but a fooka I I don't I couldn't do a 70s reference

[00:56:25] No, that is this was a landmark film though because this was the first um

[00:56:30] She's leaning. Yeah looks like she's being suspended by wires. She can't stand up

[00:56:34] This is I don't know if you know this but it's a historical fact. This was the first

[00:56:38] Uh movie ever to be based off of a bloody coke flat

[00:56:44] That's what it was adapted from

[00:56:47] Sometimes griffin really leads and leads up to a bit and then he does the bit and the bit is bad

[00:56:53] I'm just angry with him. That's his favorite part of the podcast

[00:56:56] Is not the joke that I am persistent in my lead up to get to the point where you're unamused and then I smile like this

[00:57:03] Yes, I wish people could see this smile. I felt pretty good about that

[00:57:07] I felt pretty good about that hairy train part. Oh, that was good. You killed the hairy train. Yeah

[00:57:12] And hairy tunnel. Let's not forget a very hairy tunnel. Have you ever met ben before pilot? No

[00:57:17] Ben

[00:57:20] Let's talk about ben for a little bit because we love ben. No, he seems great. What's happening is we're now we're now done

[00:57:26] We're not done. We gotta talk about ben. How long we've been running ben like 45 minutes

[00:57:31] Shortest episode ever almost an hour. All right. I want to say some things about that

[00:57:36] Oh, great. Oh my god. Did you write something down?

[00:57:39] Uh, no, I'm just looking at your text

[00:57:41] Oh, you're getting griffin's email got hacked today

[00:57:43] If you got an email for me today, if it wasn't that's all I gotta say

[00:57:47] Don't click on the link

[00:57:50] Oh, yeah, I forgot it ends with then they just cut together a bunch of scenes from the hit movie star wars

[00:57:55] Chewbacca has a whole bit as if to remind you. Yeah, like like sorry guys, but remember star wars

[00:58:00] That's a good movie

[00:58:01] I'll be forgetting the most important part of life day

[00:58:03] Which is that Chewbacca walks on the stars and then holds an orb up to the sun

[00:58:09] I may have skipped this is like the last image of the life day holiday is they walk out of this cave

[00:58:13] Onto the stars and he literally walks on the sky

[00:58:17] Like he walks on space. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I just okay. I have a hot take care. Oh, please

[00:58:23] This is stupid

[00:58:24] interesting go on

[00:58:27] I don't like anything about this. Okay. Wait, wait, wait. Let's see where she's going with this

[00:58:31] If you were gonna rank the seven star wars. Oh, this would still be second

[00:58:38] Attack of the clothes. Yep. And what's number three? I'm interested

[00:58:42] Um, I like the third one

[00:58:44] The third of the originals like the ewok one

[00:58:47] Or the third one where the third one I watched and we started okay

[00:58:50] So we're in the second ends up in a volcano

[00:58:53] Yeah, yeah, and then um, then I like the ones the ewoks right and then

[00:58:57] I don't remember

[00:58:59] Most of the other way. Uh, yeah anyone who has an opinion on this don't tweet at us

[00:59:05] All right, don't tweet at us. This is my

[00:59:07] definitive ranking

[00:59:09] Number one favorite star wars movie is star wars a new movie. Oh good movie number two is empire strikes back

[00:59:16] Sure. Number three is return of the jedi. So you're just going chronologically number four is the phantom manus

[00:59:24] Number five is the star wars holiday special

[00:59:29] Six is attack of the clums seven is revenge of the sun

[00:59:33] So this this is nestled right above the attack of the clums the b r thursine is so good

[00:59:39] I can't tell you it's everything I want out of a movie. It's sad drunks. It's songs

[00:59:44] It's aliens. I think bars are the best setting for any dramatic war. They are good

[00:59:49] Harvey korman drinks fucking liquor out of his head. It's great

[00:59:54] I want to revise my rankings. Please do. Um, my first

[00:59:59] One is just a scene of jubacca kissing his wife

[01:00:02] Hell's yeah, and then it's attack of the clums and then it's a christmas special entirely

[01:00:06] The rest I don't care about I'm with that. I'm with that. I hear that I feel that

[01:00:10] Oh, I like space balls

[01:00:11] Oh, yes, space balls. Yeah, I get a lot of jokes now right. Yeah, you've seen space balls multiple times before

[01:00:16] Space balls now. I understand it. Do you find it funnier or less funny now? I'm less funny

[01:00:21] Okay, now I guess we should know this is the last time we're ever going to talk about star wars

[01:00:26] Probably this will be the last one really new star wars. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, you're right. Yes

[01:00:31] Like in life because that would be great

[01:00:34] He's done talking about the internet's just not gonna talk about star wars. I definitely do need a sabbatical

[01:00:39] I talked about this in our return to jet I episode

[01:00:41] But like we're recording this the day before we see the force awakens and I've been having like panic attacks

[01:00:46] I know I had a bunch of weird dreams about star wars last night really weird dreams

[01:00:50] Yeah, I slept like 20 hours yesterday

[01:00:53] I just couldn't have stars nightmares. I had a cavity too, so I was on fucking anesthesia

[01:00:58] Okay, I know you haven't seen a minions movies, but you know the language they speak

[01:01:03] Like we're just all made up words and yeah, that's what it sounds like when you guys talk about star wars to me

[01:01:08] Like just made up words. Well considering that millions

[01:01:11] That's just it's just wookie talk considering the minions are your favorite thing in the world

[01:01:14] I take that as a great compliment pilot. Thank you

[01:01:17] Oh

[01:01:18] I don't just hold us a couple of minions. You hear that David?

[01:01:22] Yes, I called you short yellow and annoying. No, she calls a couple millions

[01:01:25] The last time I saw pilot when we went to see the big

[01:01:28] You sat down and I said you kind of look like a minion right now

[01:01:30] And you got very angry with me said it was because I was wearing a hat even though minions do not wear hats

[01:01:35] Well, it kind of just rounded your head in the same way that minions have those rounded heads

[01:01:39] Pilot were you disappointed that the big short was not about minions because the title implies that it's about things

[01:01:44] That are big in personality but shortened stature

[01:01:46] That's exactly what I thought cool

[01:01:49] Okay

[01:01:50] Guys, we're not done. I have 30 more minutes of things to talk about

[01:01:53] Come on

[01:01:54] So who wins a star was who wins when will there be star p?

[01:01:58] Well, I don't know. I mean because at the end of return the jedi

[01:02:02] The rebels win sure but it ends very abruptly the rebels win. They all stand together for a group photo

[01:02:08] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yeah, they have like a party. Yeah like a sort of

[01:02:13] Mid-sized party

[01:02:15] So this the movie that's coming out that takes place after the third of the old ones, correct

[01:02:21] Okay, it takes place. I believe something like 20 to 30 years after. Yeah. Yeah, but it's still in a galaxy

[01:02:28] In a time

[01:02:30] Yeah, what if the opening thing is just like

[01:02:33] Boise, Idaho

[01:02:36] It's still a while ago. It's not as long ago because we've caught up forgetting there

[01:02:40] And there's no hate in christianson

[01:02:42] I don't believe so although, you know what who knows who knows we haven't seen it yet

[01:02:45] They've been they've kept it pretty secret. Maybe he'll pop up if he's in it. I will go watch it

[01:02:50] So yeah, that's a good question. Pilar. Are you gonna pay? Um, I have movie path

[01:02:55] Hey, I'm not paying for star wars. It's uh, the show sponsor right movie pass

[01:03:00] You are going I am gonna see it. You're seeing road chip first. Yeah, I'm seeing road chip at midnight

[01:03:04] When everyone's seeing star wars. No, here's a serious game

[01:03:07] We're gonna talk about road chip because I'm really excited for road chip as you know

[01:03:11] And I want to do a full episode about the cinema of wall becker who also directed old dogs, which is

[01:03:16] One of the most fascinating movies ever made. Are you old dogs fan?

[01:03:19] Old dogs is incredible. That's that's that's not a home run. I mean also a misleading title, but it's still good

[01:03:24] Yeah, because there's like no actual dogs

[01:03:27] There is a dog but like there's not like a pack of just old dogs like canes and anything

[01:03:31] There's one singular old dog who is a supporting character a minor tertiary character in the film

[01:03:36] Be like all main characters are just old dogs. Yeah, that movie should be called old men. Yeah, but not even old man

[01:03:42] One dog. Yeah, yeah, the middle-aged man was sort of a bone to pick with life

[01:03:46] This is the actual thing. I want a long title, David. All right. Yeah, David come on. I don't work in marketing

[01:03:50] Yeah, there's a reason why pilot and I do

[01:03:52] We own griffin pilot marketing pr

[01:03:55] It's called a marketing public relations. Um, okay. This is a thing. I actually want to do

[01:04:00] This episode will be coming out later, but we're recording it the day before we see the force awakens

[01:04:05] The next time you and I are recording is once we have seen that movie

[01:04:09] Responding to it. This is our last chance for all four of us to make predictions about what we think happens in the force awakens

[01:04:17] Darth Maul comes back. Yep. Uh, he's been cloned. Mm-hmm

[01:04:21] Um, the movie is not actually called the force awakens. It's called the uh, the second attack of the clone

[01:04:28] Uh, it's all just been a big trick and it turns out George Lucas made the whole movie

[01:04:33] So do you think that when you walked into the theater they pulled down the posters and yeah, they were

[01:04:38] We're lying. We were lying and the movie they showed to critics that the critics all like

[01:04:42] That's not the movie. That was a MacGuffin. Yeah, that was a fake movie. They made a fake movie to show them

[01:04:48] I mean, it sounds fun what you're describing. Um, I'm really hoping there's scenes in bars

[01:04:53] That's the big takeaway from the holiday special. It's like star bars people pouring drinks into various holes in their body

[01:05:00] You're a big fan of the bar rescue. Yes. Oh my god. I want a bar rescue episode about star wars

[01:05:05] I don't know why bar rescue hasn't hooked that up. Why don't they do a star wars themed episode?

[01:05:10] They should do just like all kind of like tragic

[01:05:13] Like episodes that they just go and like figure out what song the titanic

[01:05:16] And it would be great

[01:05:17] You want not stars you want bar rescue to go to the titanic. Yes

[01:05:20] Yeah, because I think john taffer would like really whip that ship in the shape

[01:05:24] Yeah, you get onto the ship and just go the number one thing you need is girls coming on to the ship

[01:05:29] So how are girls going to come to the ship if it's to the bottom of the ocean? You need a butt funnel

[01:05:36] Wait, does he occasionally give them butt funnels at the bar rescue? No, okay

[01:05:39] You're not not the butt funnel you're thinking of a butt funnel is when they like have two like kind of tables

[01:05:44] And bars that are really close to each other. So when you like cross with someone and you're like really close to them

[01:05:48] I see. Yeah, and that's how you like formulate relationships in the bars. You brush against people creepily

[01:05:54] John tapper is a student of human behavior david. That's his thing. He likes to see

[01:05:59] Anphropologists

[01:05:59] Why do you go to a bar because you want to connect and john tapper's like

[01:06:02] How do you make a place as conducive to connection butt funnels butt funnels?

[01:06:08] Are you looking up butt funnels right now? Yep

[01:06:11] Okay, so can I tell you what I think happens in a force awaken please please

[01:06:14] All right, do you think the force is gonna wake up? No, it's really sleepy

[01:06:18] I think there's going to be this golden retriever

[01:06:22] And he's going to learn how to play basketball

[01:06:24] Okay

[01:06:26] And it's he's gonna like replace us like poor kid on a team and he's gonna win the championship

[01:06:32] But what about his original owner? Oh, the owner is dead. Everyone's dead

[01:06:35] Uh, let me just show you the that's a great prediction. Let me just show you the uh image that came up when I searched for butt funnel

[01:06:42] John tapper just looks like the like goombas from super mario brothers. Yes, he does that is accurate

[01:06:47] Uh, this this haul this special could have done with more goombas. Yep everything

[01:06:52] All right, I got my prediction your prediction bud. You open on aligashu this giant jedi

[01:06:59] And he's fighting then his original creation

[01:07:02] He's been creating original character. I don't know if that was existing or not

[01:07:06] He's the pitch with aligashu. He's big. He's a big guy. Very big

[01:07:09] He's a big jedi and he's got a little thing like a quaddo from total recall that talks to him that guy's

[01:07:14] Check it out though. I added a new thing. He uses a lightsaber that's like num chucks

[01:07:20] Which what part does he hold on? Yeah, right? Yeah, the lightsaber part

[01:07:24] It burned his hands. Oh then well one part of it is just regular, but then he swings it around sort of like a spinning lightsaber

[01:07:31] Yeah

[01:07:32] That sounds dangerous. That sounds incredible. He's big too. So it's a big weapon

[01:07:37] So your prediction is it opens on aligashu Ben has never been clear how big he is just that he is

[01:07:43] Big

[01:07:45] You know what that means like 10 feet or like 100 feet like it's a little just like six five

[01:07:49] Ben hates that that star wars has a lot of little things that it's got like yoda and ewoks

[01:07:54] He's all I love the little thing me too

[01:07:56] Like they can pile it up each other make up a big thing. I don't like the lesson behind it

[01:08:00] What's the lesson ben that like, you know, don't underestimate the little guy. Yeah, that's a cool lesson. No big

[01:08:07] wins

[01:08:08] So your lesson that you're trying to teach is big big wins

[01:08:13] And that's where you start the movie and you stay on that the rest of the time

[01:08:16] So your prediction is that force awakens is just an aligashu. It's my idea

[01:08:22] Just swing a nunchuck. I think we're all predicting that the marketing for force awakens is very misleading

[01:08:27] Is deceptive is bat pecky in it? Oh, sure. Your other creation. He's from the cave planet

[01:08:34] Uh, and he is uh, Ben will do this at no like you'll just do it. No whenever you can when he's worked really hard

[01:08:39] In these pro I felt really good about it. Yeah, so bat pecky's from a cave planet. He's a part man part bat

[01:08:46] You could say he's a bat man. Yeah, and his parents died. So he's an orphan like bat man

[01:08:50] Similar to batman. I didn't realize that at the time but yes, they're close enough. I supposed

[01:08:55] But uh, he's called back pecky. He's called bat pecky. These are so much better than you actually us

[01:09:00] I know

[01:09:03] Yeah, you guys are great friends. Uh, Darth stupid idiot. Uh-huh. He's uh, he's a bad guy. He's very wet

[01:09:10] Why?

[01:09:13] It's just how it worked out. You know, like uh, there's the great of process

[01:09:17] The uh, you know the coughing a bad guy, of course his name is skatesman general grievous

[01:09:21] He's this is his like cough, but he's always wet and he's pissed about being wet. I will say to your credit ben

[01:09:28] What's up?

[01:09:28] It's been like six weeks since you came with these characters

[01:09:31] Maybe maybe even a little longer

[01:09:32] Maybe even a little longer

[01:09:34] Every time you pitch them and you you pitch them with almost the exact same wording every time like clockwork

[01:09:39] You know like a tape. It's the same wording every time. It's true

[01:09:42] It's like we are a production studio and you are just like dropping in the five minute. Yeah

[01:09:47] But it it gets funnier every time and more every time you sell me harder and harder on these characters

[01:09:53] Well, I guess this will be the last time unfortunately. All right guys, so that's your holy trandy. We got to wrap it up

[01:10:00] Wait, can I can I tell this thought was joke that I finally understand now?

[01:10:03] Oh, yeah, this is a good joke and I'm gonna end the show making my prediction. Oh, yeah, sure

[01:10:06] Uh, what's the internal temperature of a taun-taun?

[01:10:11] lukewarm

[01:10:13] That's a really good job. It's a clever little. Yeah, really clever

[01:10:16] My friend Stephanie told me that and like I did not hear it

[01:10:20] I did not understand it for like months and months and now I get it and I still don't laugh

[01:10:24] But I get it but it's we all liked it. It was good

[01:10:26] We all were just like we gave a little smile. We gave a little smile and went oh nice joke

[01:10:31] Good job pilot. So good job pilot. Good job, Stephanie

[01:10:34] What's your prediction griffin for the force awakens, which we are seeing tomorrow together

[01:10:39] At 7 p.m. In times Square and time's been inviting me. Yeah, you're welcome. You're going to see road trip

[01:10:43] Yeah, it's true. Yeah, you wouldn't want to come I had to sell my roadship tickets to you in order to go see star wars

[01:10:49] The mystery is revealed of who bought the road trip ticket

[01:10:52] My i max

[01:10:54] Seven o'clock road ship he claims there's an i max screening i max 3d rpx. Yeah, of course actually in 40

[01:10:59] Yeah, so like the seats move and like they're moving in a car and they throw nuts at your feet. Yep

[01:11:03] It's weird they throw acorns

[01:11:05] And nuts at your face during the movie

[01:11:08] It's just an amc you know, yeah acorns and nuts. All right. What's your prediction? I just want to say before that sure

[01:11:15] Um, this this is our last episode of 2015 been a pleasure. This concludes star wars definitively on this show

[01:11:22] Yeah, uh, we're excited for 2016. Yeah, we have some really fun stuff coming up

[01:11:26] Yeah, we're gonna do some fun stuff. Uh, we'll tell you about it soon. Yeah, um, thanks to everyone who's written in recently

[01:11:32] I mean general thanks to all your support, but thanks to everyone who's written in recently

[01:11:35] Yeah, fuck the early people fuck the early adopters

[01:11:38] But everyone who's jumping on the train uh, contact chips are in the mail

[01:11:41] Uh, if not any of those did you have to send out?

[01:11:44] I'm still tabulating. Okay, great. Yeah, but a lot

[01:11:47] Um, I appreciate everyone who wanted one though

[01:11:50] And i'm as predicted already stressed out about getting all of them out

[01:11:52] But they should be around Christmas if not a little later. Yeah, you should be receiving yours. Um

[01:12:00] Uh in terms of our naming and branding, uh, we'll still talk about but but votes are in

[01:12:04] I think people like blank people like it a lot. I think that's maybe where we're heading

[01:12:07] Katie Katie rich already said that we have to do a blank check episode on something which i'm happy to do today

[01:12:12] Yeah, uh, would you just like the movie blank check? The movie blank check what we all do

[01:12:16] This is a big blank

[01:12:18] Making out with the kid. Yeah, and it's kennedy. I forgot about that mtv vj kennedy

[01:12:24] Oh god blank check is demanded. Uh, we we're thinking let's and it has tone low in it. Yeah. Yeah

[01:12:29] And a velcro wall

[01:12:31] The idea is that we would rename this podcast blank check with griffin and david. Do you like that?

[01:12:34] I like that. Yeah, a few people were strongly against it

[01:12:37] But they're wrong. Well, they seem to be against the movie blank check which is outright

[01:12:43] It's problematic to have that opinion you should cut those people out of your life

[01:12:46] Well, no no we like listeners as long as they're not sith lords. We like them

[01:12:50] Um, so yeah, I think this is a loose announcement that we're going to be blank check in 2016

[01:12:55] With some new things coming at you will be announcing those soon

[01:12:58] Uh one I can say I'll say one right now because I'm really I want to plug it right now

[01:13:02] Uh, I think we're gonna do a one-off episode about anglies hulk called hulking the hulk

[01:13:09] Oh, that's right. Well, I want to do some superhero podcast in january. Yeah, but hulking the hulk

[01:13:15] I want to do thawed the dark world

[01:13:17] We want to do iron man three and the fourth one you want to do some bullshit and you want to do some bull

[01:13:22] I want to do the wolverine, which is a fucking felini movie as superhero movie and it's a masterpiece and I want to do

[01:13:28] Batman Returns

[01:13:31] Expressionism done in the fucking the american studio system in 1992. Yeah, but people like that movie

[01:13:36] Nobody likes the wolverine. Everyone hated it when it came out

[01:13:39] Pilot I haven't seen either

[01:13:41] Great you would like badminton returns because it has nanny de vito as a penguin. Oh wait, I have seen that

[01:13:46] Yeah, it's a great movie. Okay. I like that

[01:13:47] Hulking the hulk is the only one we're announcing formally because it's the only one I've come with a title for

[01:13:52] Um, that will be happening. We have some big mini series coming up. Thank you all for listening

[01:13:56] I think the drill one should make called podcast the dark world. Yeah, that's good

[01:14:00] Um, that's really good so we can announce two right now or thawed the dark podcast

[01:14:05] Or thawed the podcast and then the iron man one should be called podcast man three

[01:14:10] Or iron podcast three. I can't believe someone gave us a contract to do another year

[01:14:14] We just we literally just signed a contract

[01:14:18] I'm amazed myself paperwork

[01:14:21] Oh god, I always thought ben was just uh, you know

[01:14:24] Humoring us by recording these and putting them on the internet. It's a contract now

[01:14:28] It's a contract blank check with griffin david come in 2016 contact chips coming in the mail

[01:14:33] Here's my prediction for jj abram's star wars episode seven the force awaken. What is it?

[01:14:39] It'll be fun

[01:14:42] pilot, thank you for joining us. Thanks for having me. It was great to have you griffin

[01:14:47] I'll see you in 2016. I'll see you in 2016. In fact, I'm gonna see you tomorrow. We'll see you tomorrow

[01:14:50] Yeah, yeah, but uh, you'll see each other right now. We're seeing each other right now

[01:14:54] Okay, well, I'm about to go home but pilot what a treat it is to have you here in studio

[01:14:58] Hey, you're you're hated

[01:15:01] You're you know part of the reason me and griffin are such good friends

[01:15:03] Yeah, and yeah, you invented quiz quiz kid donnie smith. Yeah, which was our quiz team for a while

[01:15:08] Just generally an excellent person. I like to make people be friends and then just completely dip out of that friendship. Yeah, you've done a great job

[01:15:17] It's not the first time the three of us have been in the room in months since the three of us all met each other probably

[01:15:26] Anyway as always

[01:15:29] There's always no more star wars as always no more star wars

[01:15:38] No more star wars. May the hearts be with you
