1
00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:06.240
A very difficult question for you, and I'll put you

2
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:08.679
in this spot before. We kind of did this with

3
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:14.519
Bill Paxton last month. If I asked you what your

4
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:23.719
all time favorite John Candy performance is, what do you got?

5
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.199
I thought about it and.

6
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.679
Agonized over it, and then came back to my original response,

7
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.359
which is usually the best answer. Anyway.

8
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:43.200
I love him and Splash.

9
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.600
That's surprising. I did not think you're gonna go with

10
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:47.320
a deep cut like that. A lot of people don't

11
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:48.439
even think of him in Splash.

12
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:52.600
So he has a great he's a goofball and just

13
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.240
to diff us through like ninety nine percent of the movie.

14
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:56.719
And then he has a great scene.

15
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.880
Where he's kind of scolding Tom Hanks, And I think

16
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.759
about it all the time.

17
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:09.079
The fact that he's the younger, cooler brother of the

18
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.239
two of them in that movie, and he's the ladies man.

19
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:17.319
That's fantastic. That's fantastic. You know, it's not an easy

20
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:22.280
question to answer. I I thought about that when you

21
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.040
when when I think of his filmography, like John Candy

22
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:33.120
as a whole, I'm thinking lovable family man, hilarious, but

23
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.719
still has to all together be cool, like you want

24
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.439
to hang out with him. You believe in him. I

25
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.400
put all those together. I put all those things together,

26
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:46.640
and it's Buck Russell from Uncle Buck. Yes, not easy,

27
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.200
it's not easy. It's like I said, there's a lot

28
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.599
of a lot of great performances. I'll tell you a

29
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.400
go to Candy movie for me growing up was the

30
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.920
one where John Candy is about to face the most

31
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:05.719
devastating experience known to man, the family vacation. So Amber,

32
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.319
with that, let's talk about a film by Carl Reiner,

33
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:44.159
his nineteen eighty five underrated disaster vacation comedy Summer Rental. Hello, everybody,

34
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:49.639
I'm Jeff Johnson, I'm Amber Lewis, and this is a

35
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:55.240
film by podcast Amber. Kind of a big week. It's

36
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.599
officially summer. What the end of the week, it is

37
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:00.840
like Thursday or Friday.

38
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.039
I think, yeah, let the games begin.

39
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:07.680
Yeah, I know, I know we're all excited to you know,

40
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.680
hit the road for family vacations. But before we get

41
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.000
into Carl Reiner's Summer Rental, which I'm excited to talk

42
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:20.280
about this one, it's celebrating its fortieth anniversary. It's a

43
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:24.680
nineteen eighty five film, you know, I know, before we

44
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.719
get into it, though, I want to. I want to.

45
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:32.919
I want to recognize several very creative people. I thank

46
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.199
you if you will. So we recently did this. Our

47
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:43.879
four hundredth episode was this Alternate Universe Batman episode, which.

48
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.639
Oh my gosh, it was so amazing.

49
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:51.960
Thank you, thank you. A very overwhelming response to this episode.

50
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:53.479
I think a lot of people tuned in just because

51
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:56.240
they saw the word Batman in the title, and then

52
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.319
a lot more people tuned in when they realized what

53
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.759
we were doing. You know, we kind of we went

54
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:07.360
to the alternate universe to discuss the Batman movie, made

55
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.120
by Richard Donner in nineteen eight nine, starring Mel Gibson

56
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.560
and Robin Williams. I've been I've been calling it a

57
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.240
very much a labor of love. It took it took

58
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.000
a lot of work to put something like that together,

59
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.360
and you don't do something like that on your own

60
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.560
so quickly. I just want to. I want to call

61
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.319
out a couple of people here. Jason Colvin from the

62
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.879
Shirley You Can't Be Serious podcast. I have to give

63
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:36.000
Jason the credit of having a conversation when I was

64
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.399
in gridlock traffic on my way home one day and

65
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:40.959
we were talking about Batman. We were talking about the

66
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.920
alternate universe and oh the what ifs, and we started

67
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.839
talking about how cool it'd be if Richard Donner had,

68
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:51.759
you know, made Batman because Amber, as you recall, as

69
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.839
you'll recall, like we like last year, you and I

70
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.240
did Richard Donner's Lady Hawk, Yes, and we talked about

71
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:01.199
how he almost did, in fact, direct Batman, and it

72
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.040
got us, It got me in Colvin talking and the

73
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.680
more this alternate universe video store phrasing kept popping up

74
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.600
on our show, on the show You Can't Be Serious podcast,

75
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.480
I think it's popped up a couple times on the

76
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.680
Documented seventy seven podcasts. It's like a shared term that

77
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.759
we've all been we've all been using, and that's when

78
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.399
that's kind of you know. I credit Jason with with

79
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.439
inspiring me to to do that episode. Right. Uh, he's

80
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.319
not alone though. We talked about in the alternate universe.

81
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.199
We talked about where we got a lot of our

82
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:44.800
our information from the amazing book uh, Dark Night, Silver Screen,

83
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:51.360
written by the very incredible author Van Allen Plexico.

84
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.800
Yeah, I crowded girl tears when I realized that is

85
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:55.680
not a Roebuck.

86
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.839
Yeah, you weren't happy when you found out that is

87
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.399
a real book. But Van happens to be a real

88
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:07.920
life author, a friend of the show, and the incredible

89
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.839
talent behind the White Rocket podcast network. So while Van

90
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:17.319
has not written the the Definitive Batman book, he has

91
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:21.680
written many amazing books. We even we kind of mentioned

92
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:26.920
Miami heist in the Batman episode at a movie, So yeah,

93
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.639
definitely check out check out Van Allen's his page. I'm

94
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.279
gonnaut out. I'm I'm gonna link everyone's information so you

95
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.560
can find these guys in our show notes. But moving on,

96
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:42.480
we talked about the amazing theme the amazing score by

97
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:47.959
Chad Cochrane in our Alternate Batman movie. Chad happens to

98
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.959
be a musician from the metal band Dysomnia. You can

99
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:55.160
check them out on Spotify. He's a very gifted composer

100
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.959
and he actually created an original theme for our alternate

101
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.680
Batman movie. When I challenged him with this, he could

102
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:04.439
not be happier. He was like, Oh, give me, give

103
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:05.639
me a little bit of time. I can do this,

104
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.560
and I gotta be honest. The more I built this

105
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.519
episode and worked it and edited, the more times I

106
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.480
heard his theme. The more I started my brain started

107
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.680
to accept that this is the Batman theme. Now it's

108
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:22.720
not Danny Elfman's. So yeah, Chad, I can't I can't

109
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.399
thank him enough for taking the time to compose original music,

110
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.920
record it and uh, and I allow us to use

111
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.399
it for that for that episode. It was fantastic. UH.

112
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:37.759
And then finally Brad Kozo, my best friend, the co

113
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:41.839
creator of the film by podcast, the original co host,

114
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.319
who came out of retirement much much like Rick moranis

115
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.639
is doing for the Baseball sequel. I Brad, you know,

116
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.000
we had We had a great time the first couple

117
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:58.120
of first three seasons, and I always hoped that he would,

118
00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:59.560
you know, I've always wanted him to come back and

119
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.000
do some something fun. And I thought the four hundredth episode,

120
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:03.759
if I could get him there, I pitched this to

121
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.399
him and he he was loving it. So I owe

122
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.040
him a great deal of thanks. It's not easy to

123
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:14.920
do something like that episode where you're basically playing a part,

124
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.519
but you're playing yourself. And you know, I gotta tell you,

125
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.079
if you if you want to, uh, if you want

126
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:23.399
anyone to play Brad Kozo, you should. You should definitely

127
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:24.120
call Brad Koso.

128
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:25.079
He's absolutely.

129
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:26.920
I don't know if anyone could play Brad Kozo better

130
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:28.399
than back Brade cost and he did. He did an

131
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.800
amazing job on that on the Batman episode. So my

132
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.919
my loving thanks go to him as well. Now, having

133
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.039
all having said all that, Amber, Uh, let's get back

134
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:42.559
to Summer rental. Uh. Carl Reiner. This is the first

135
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:46.519
summer film that he that he gave us, the second

136
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:49.120
one being Summer School, which Brad and I covered a

137
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.879
couple of seasons ago. So you can check out our

138
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.840
Summer School episode. We've got a detailed we give a

139
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.679
pretty detailed conversation about Ryan or so, uh, definitely check

140
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:01.879
that out out. Other than that, I got a couple

141
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:03.600
of facts for you, Amber, I got a fun quote.

142
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:05.159
You know when you think it's when you think of

143
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.600
Carl Reiner. I kind of get a smile when when

144
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.000
I read it because I was I was reading it

145
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.279
in his voice, you know. Yes, So three things real quick.

146
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.120
He did serve in the United States Army in nineteen

147
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.120
forty two as a radio operator. He chose to never

148
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.279
retire and was working as an actor right up until

149
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.679
his death at the age of ninety eight. And this

150
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.759
one's a little sad, but little, you know. I just

151
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.879
wanted to point it out because I mentioned Rick moranis

152
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:38.159
a couple minutes ago. The day before Carl Reiner died,

153
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.039
he spent the whole day with his close friend Mel

154
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:47.200
Brooks to celebrate Mel's ninety fourth birthday. And I think

155
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.039
they My understanding is that they took photographs of the

156
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.399
entire day and then like we're uploading them to social

157
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:53.919
media so you could kind of like follow along on

158
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:58.720
their adventures. Definitely, definitely great. Those guys are awesome.

159
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.519
If you have I've ever seen it go on Netflix

160
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:07.080
to Comedians and Cars getting Coffee and watched the episode

161
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.440
that Jerry did with the two of them. It is

162
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:14.200
the most beautiful, amazing thing and you will laugh until

163
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:15.120
you can't.

164
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.679
It's so good. I think that's probably the best Comedians

165
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.000
and Cars getting Coffee episode in my opinion. Yeah, I

166
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.240
mean you've got legends there, right.

167
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:27.799
Yeah, there's there's a bunch that I like, but that

168
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.120
one is definitely the best.

169
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:33.120
You have to remember Rainer, you know, he didn't start

170
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.159
off directing movies. He didn't start off acting. He was

171
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.480
behind the scenes on said Caesar. He was a writer,

172
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:40.559
and I love that, you know him being a writer.

173
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.279
I love. I love this quote. He once said, I'm

174
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:49.200
a charming coward. I fight with words.

175
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.000
That's fantastic, that's amazing.

176
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.720
Amber. Let's talk about Summer Rental, which is celebrate like

177
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.960
I said, celebrating its fortieth anniversary, comes out in nineteen

178
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.639
eighty five. I'm going to guess that maybe there's some

179
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.240
listeners that haven't seen this film, maybe there's some that

180
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.000
need a rewatch. But tell us briefly, what is Summer

181
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:10.240
Rental all about.

182
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:15.559
John Candy plays an overworked air traffic controller who has

183
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.600
put on a five week paid leave and takes his

184
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:24.320
family to Citrus Cove, Florida, where he experiences hilarious mishaps

185
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.639
and contends with an arrogant sailing champion.

186
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.639
This is one of those let's be honest. The plot

187
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.919
isn't overly complicated. It's just a fun summer movie.

188
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.879
Yeah, it's kind of like they took over.

189
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:41.679
If you talk to somebody about going on vacation over

190
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.960
the years, they'd say, oh, remember the year that you

191
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.399
hurt your knee, or remember the year that we went

192
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.799
to the wrong house, And you know, not all of

193
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.320
it would happen in One Summer, but it happens that

194
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:55.279
way for John Canty.

195
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:00.759
I find it very suspicious that a year later, One

196
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:05.200
Crazy Summer comes out and the ending to that movie

197
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.039
is virtually the ending to this movie. With the boat.

198
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:11.000
Let's let's fix up a boat that can't float, and

199
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.000
then we're gonna race it and we're gonna win. We're

200
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:19.240
gonna beat the the people, the Unbeatable Team Summer Summer's

201
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:21.919
Summer Rental did it first? I love One Crazy Summer.

202
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:25.399
We covered it better, yeah, well, yeah, we we covered

203
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:29.200
it on d Graves from the sure You Can't Be

204
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.440
Serious podcast joined me to cover that on our Patreon.

205
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.279
It was one of our lost episodes of nineteen six.

206
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:40.200
Earlier this year, Dan Jason covered it on the Surely

207
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.159
you Can't Be Serious podcast. They it was a One

208
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:47.399
Crazy Summer against Better Off Dead, which that's a sensational matchup,

209
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.279
so go check them out. You know, well, I might

210
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:51.240
say that a few times.

211
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.480
Dayton Johnson over at Docking Base seventy seven. He and

212
00:12:55.519 --> 00:13:00.600
I have an ongoing argument that he thinks One Summer

213
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.039
is the better movie and I think The Sure Thing

214
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:06.960
is the better movie. So on our discord that is,

215
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.120
and every now and then I'll be like.

216
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.000
And you know what, one's sure the sure thing was better.

217
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:15.320
It's it's a tough call, it really is.

218
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:16.799
No, it's not.

219
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.320
I got I gotta, I gotta I got amber Who

220
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.519
who takes a U haul on vacation?

221
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.600
I am a notorious overpacker.

222
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:31.360
I've never taken a U haul, but I I'm always

223
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.200
worried about contingencies and I always somehow feel like like

224
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:38.759
there aren't stores where I'm going, so I can take.

225
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.840
Everything, okay, But I guess okay, So here's the thing.

226
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:44.639
I guess aid.

227
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:47.240
Because you kind of get the feeling because he says,

228
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.960
like they haven't gone on vacation since their honeymoon.

229
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:52.480
Yeah, so he's.

230
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.960
Kind of like, I want everybody to have a good

231
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:56.200
time and have everything they need.

232
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.559
Well, you know the joke. The joke there, like, you know,

233
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:01.600
because I'm and I'm like, as a kid, you don't

234
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.480
really pay attention to this kind of stuff, But as

235
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:06.960
an adult, I'm like, wait, he's they've got the car

236
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.240
packed and he's got a four x eight cargo trailer

237
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:14.080
from U haul hooked up. The hell's going on? He

238
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:15.320
you know, he gets in the car. He's like, I

239
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:17.679
know him forgetting you know, I know him forgetting something.

240
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.759
And his wife's like, only the wallpaper, but we can

241
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:21.759
buy some at the store when we get there, and he's,

242
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.919
you know, I just okay, think about this though. They're

243
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:30.159
going on a four week summer vacation. You know. He

244
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:32.639
he's an air traffic controller who is just burned out,

245
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:36.840
stressed out. His boss basically forces him on a four

246
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:41.080
week vacation because he hasn't taken any vacation time. And

247
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:48.440
that's a four week rental from U haul. I think

248
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:51.200
about how much money he's spending just on that four

249
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.679
y eight cargo trailer to go to the go live

250
00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:56.759
in a beach an airbnb, you know, by the beach.

251
00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:00.240
It's it's just crazy. I don't know. I I can't

252
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:01.720
wrap my head around it. I really can't.

253
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:02.279
I don't know.

254
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:04.120
There were five of us in our family, and there

255
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.279
were at least a couple of years where we had

256
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:06.840
to get one of.

257
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:09.000
Those like pod things that you put on top.

258
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:11.639
Of the Okay, I'm all in on that. You know,

259
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.879
I could see a family of four, family of five,

260
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:15.720
you know, we got you gotta have it all somewhere

261
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:17.200
because they've got the family dog in the in the

262
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:19.679
back seat with them. Okay, a pod on you know

263
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:24.039
what of those like things? A cargo trailer from you haul,

264
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.840
that's that's that's pushing it. I don't know. Maybe I'm

265
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:28.639
if there's a if there's.

266
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:30.960
Clearly never packed to go anywhere with children.

267
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:34.559
I have not. But uh, listeners, if you have gone

268
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:38.679

you're you're going to tell me that a U haul

270
00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:42.519
a four by eight cargo trailer from you hall is

271
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.480
you know, a wise investment, Please please email us let

272
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:45.840
us know.

273
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:47.679
I need to hear this story.

274
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:49.320
I want to hear the story. Yeah, I want to

275
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:52.399
hear the story. Let's uh, let's talk about this cast

276
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:57.759
and crew. John Candy as Jack Chester. This is his

277
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:02.600
first starring role in a film. You know, he's been

278
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:06.039
in a couple movies. He's always like the the you know,

279
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.639
the the funny guy that shows up for a couple

280
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.080
of minutes. But this is this is a John Candy film,

281
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.320
nineteen eighty five. He's paid eight hundred thousand dollars to

282
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.039
do it. And Amber, I'm sitting here, I was just

283
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:18.960
watching him because, like John, Candy's one of those actors

284
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:21.519
that just he always looked the same age, no matter

285
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.639
what year it was. He's thirty five years old in

286
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:30.960
summer rental. That's hard to believe. Yes, that really is

287
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.080
like I was like, he you know, because he's like

288
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:35.120
I've always known him as like a dad, you know,

289
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.159
in movies. But when I think about a thirty five

290
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.919
year old man with three children and a dog and

291
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:45.720
a wife, It's like, no, that can't be. I just can't,

292
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.440
you know, Yep, I don't know. What do you think

293
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:49.080
about Candy in.

294
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.559
This He I love him and everything. I've never seen

295
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:55.440
him do anything. I might not have liked the movie,

296
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:56.320
but I loved him.

297
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:01.879
Oh okay, I didn't. Little tip there. You've given me

298
00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:04.000
no indication that you're not a fan of this movie.

299
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.400
But you go that I love this movie. Oh I

300
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.880
thought you said no, I said everything he's ever done.

301
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:13.720
Oh I thought you said you didn't. You know, you

302
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.920

303
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.839
No, I may not the movie that he's in.

304
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:20.400
Oh okay, thank you? So like you might not be

305
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:24.839
a fan of Wagons East, but you know you're gonna Yeah, Okay, Okay,

00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:30.920
I didn't have fight with Amber on the agenda. Yeah no,

308
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:32.039
And I thought I.

309
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.400
Was like, oh for insanity.

310
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.440
Yeah, I was like, I thought, we we're zigging this

311
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:38.119
whole episode.

312
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.400
But okay, I love John Candy.

313
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:44.799
Here's something. Here's something you can love about him. He

314
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:49.519
gives books to everyone on set to keep him busy

315
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.880
during the downtime. The book he gives Karen, now Karen

316
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:57.480
Austin plays his wife in the film. He gives her

317
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.920
a book on photography, and she loves it so much

318
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:04.880
she picks up a camera and they incorporate it into

319
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:10.839
a movie. So she's taking pictures throughout the entire film shoot.

320
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.279
And if you if you watch the credits, and I'm

321
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.680
sure you did, Amber, all those all those Polaris, those

322
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:22.440
are actually Karen Austin's pictures. You know. Carl Reiner loved it.

323
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:24.720
You know, she was like, oh, look all these pictures

324
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:27.279
from the past seven weeks and He's like, I love it.

325
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:29.200
Can I use them? And yeah, so those are the

326
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:31.279
real because like you, when you watch it, you're like, wow,

327
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.640
the wife, the mom, Like she's not in any of those.

328
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:37.440
But then it's it's typical like you know, like you

329
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.279
you know, every every time you go on, you're always

330
00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:42.440
taking them, you're never in them, right yep, until a

331
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:44.440
very like towards it. I think the end. There's one

332
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:46.240
shot where it's like, hey, hey, let's do a group

333
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:47.880
shot and they have the camera set up, you know,

334
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.759
in front of them. Yes, I just think that's amazing,

335
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.920
more amazing. Nineteen eighty five, this is a big year

336
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:57.839
for Candy. Summer Rental is first starring role. He's also

337
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.559
in Brewsters Millions and Volunteers.

338
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:04.000
I don't remember him. And Brewsters Millions.

339
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:05.960
Well, oh he played he played Richard Pryor's buddy. He

340
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:06.599
was the catcher.

341
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.079
Oh gosh, I don't remember that at all.

342
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:14.400
I remember you guys Prior and the actress that ye

343
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:16.000
was the accountant.

344
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:18.400
Yeah, so I remember them.

345
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:20.160
I don't remember really remember.

346
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:22.359
Remember Brewster is the pitcher for the for the for

347
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:23.240
the baseball team.

348
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:23.839
Yeah.

349
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:26.400
John Candy is the catcher. That's they got like that,

350
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.480
that's the battery, you know, when they're in the like

351
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.039
the mansion and they're they're they're playing catch and John

352
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.279
Candy has like that. He bought him like that that

353
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:38.759
Catcher's mitt uh, go like twenty four Carrot Catcher's mitt Uh.

354
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:43.279
George, I just remember never understanding the end of the

355
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.960
movie and how he ended up spending the last of

356
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:46.519
the money.

357
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:50.480
Well, we'll talk about that watching it again, I guess,

358
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:55.880
I guess. Yeah, big, big, big year for Candy. Yeah,

359
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.480
his nemesis in the movie is all so having a

360
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:04.839
pretty big year. I'm talking about Richard Crenna playing Al Pellett.

361
00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:10.759
How is Colonel Sam Troutman this lunatic guy?

362
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:12.519
How is.

363
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:18.119
Krinna is the chief villain of this movie? Comedic villain?

364
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:21.720
We should say yes. And the same year, he's reprising

365
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:26.000
his role as Colonel Sam Troutman and Rambo First Blood

366
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:28.599
Part two. And I have a hard time with that

367
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:34.559
because I love Troutman. Yeah, he's the mentor father figure

368
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:38.400
that all action heroes should have. And he's such a

369
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:40.000
jerk in this movie.

370
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:44.000
Oh my god, the opening scene with him in the

371
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:48.640
restaurant when he keeps hitting his wife on the arm. Oh,

372
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.839
like I would pick up whatever was handy and smack

373
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:53.759
him over the head with it.

374
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.039
Yeah, And we're talking about like that when someone that

375
00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:02.279
obnoxious person that's like that does like the playful shove. Yeah,

376
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:04.400
you know at someone like, oh you get it, come on,

377
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:08.400
that's funny. Yeah, and you're like this poor woman. Yeah,

378
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:10.319
he's you know, he's telling it. He looks over his

379
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:13.119
buddy they're at like they're at that's this very upscale,

380
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:16.119
fancy seafood place. He's like, hey, no arguments, this dinner

381
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:20.440
is on you. You know. It's he's that guy that

382
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:23.200
laughs at his own jokes. But he's also very entitled.

383
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:26.359
You know, he's like a legend around town. You know,

384
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:28.440
he gets he's got his own table at this place.

385
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.039
He's won the regatta seven years in a row with

386
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:33.559
his boat, the incisor.

387
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:36.480
What a horrible name of a boat?

388
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:39.880
Uh well, you know, like you know, it's a sharp

389
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:43.799
tooth that you know, cuts the waves. Maybe I don't

390
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:47.640
know anything about sailing, Like these regattas, Like he's got

391
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:49.160
a crew of like seven or eight people and they're all

392
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:51.319
dressed in uniform. You know, he's even yelling at everybody.

393
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:53.519
Yeah, he's acting like he's in like the America's cup,

394
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:54.640
And well, is.

395
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:57.200
Anyone like are they working for him? Or these just buddies?

396
00:21:57.240 --> 00:21:59.640
Like I don't I don't understand it like the you know, I.

397
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.480
Watched, I paid close attention because I was concerned that

398
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:06.920
maybe it was his family and he was like being

399
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:09.640
abusive to them on the boat. But no, I think

400
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:11.640
this is a crew that he hired. It's a crew

401
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.240
that he hired, a crew for the America's Cup.

402
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:16.759
So you're saying he's I mean, he's wealthy, he owns

403
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:19.240
half the town, and he's just he's just hiring people

404
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:19.599
he got.

405
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:22.119
Yeah, he got a bunch of young kids from the

406
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:24.519
sailing club or whatever that he can boss around.

407
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:27.400
And yeah, talking that shirt, Floyd would look like, dress

408
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:29.720
like a winner. It's like, you're sailing, dude.

409
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.440
But it's just a fun summer.

410
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:35.920
God, come on, there's something I want to I want

411
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.000
to go back to that that lobster scene or the

412
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:40.920
restaurant scene here when we talk about when we talk

413
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:42.200
about some scenes, I want I want to go I

414
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:44.880
want to readdress that. But you're right, dude's a jerk,

415
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:49.200
and it's hard. It's hard to say that about Richard Crenna. Yeah,

416
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:52.519
but hats off to him. He is a He is

417
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:53.799
a wonderful.

418
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:57.720
He is a spectacular slimy Yeah got club.

419
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:00.279
Just you just you just want to punch this guy

420
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:03.640
in the face. You know, I'll tell you you don't

421
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:08.319
want to punch in the face rip Torn playing Scully.

422
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:11.720
Okay, I got tired of the pirate voice.

423
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:12.839
Thing, did you.

424
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:16.079
I wanted him to like just talk in your normal voice.

425
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:18.240
It's just got obnoxious after a while.

426
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.000
Okay, So he's I get, I get what you're saying,

427
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.119
but I feel like he's he's putting on the show

428
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:28.319
right for like the families that show up at the

429
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:31.480
restaurant at the Barnacle. But then there's there's a couple

430
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:33.759
of scenes where it's like when when him and John

431
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:37.720
Candy are just out sailing the moonlight getting drunk. Yes,

432
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:40.119
he's got a little bit of just say I'm just

433
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:42.039
being a normal guy here. And yeah, he tends to

434
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:45.039
during the in the regatta when it looks like they're

435
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:47.559
definitely they've they're losing it. There's nothing else that can do.

436
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:50.079
He's you know, Jackie, you've done beautifully, but this this

437
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:52.960
old guy, she's got nothing else for you. You know. Yeah,

438
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:58.039
But to your point, he's like when he's arguing with Angus,

439
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:01.519
he does he definitely he definitely as up the pirate vibe.

440
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:03.720
And he's you know, he's clearly he's dressed like a

441
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:08.119
pirate the entire time. But yes, I always forget that

442
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:10.839
this is ripped torn because he's he's a little.

443
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:13.119
Young, Yes, because like I always think of the way

444
00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:15.319
he looked on the Gary Shandling Show.

445
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:19.599
Okay, well yeah, I see like that or Men in Black. Yeah,

446
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.759
you know that's I always think ripped Torn when you know,

447
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:25.000
clearly we should be thinking ripped Horn and the Beast

448
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:27.599
Master where he's a psychopath.

449
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:32.799
See, if I had thought of that, I keep forgetting

450
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:33.839
he was in Beast Master.

451
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:35.559
If I thought of that, I would have felt much

452
00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:36.079
better about this.

453
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:39.880
Yeah. Well, let's not forget a dodgeball a true underdog story.

454
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:42.000
You know, if you dodge a rune, can dodge the ball,

455
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:48.640
pat patches a hula han. He's he's fun. But it's

456
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:51.319
just it's just weird to see a younger I say younger,

457
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:54.079
not young, but a younger ripped torn. You know, he's

458
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:55.039
he was a little more.

459
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:57.039
Born, looking like fifty years old.

460
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:01.359
Yeah, that's that's true. Like there's you know like he yeah,

461
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:03.160
I mean he's because he's got like the salt and

462
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:05.039
pepper beard and this and this is nineteen aay five,

463
00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:08.279
so a lot of fun, though, a lot of fun.

464
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:10.559
I like. I think him and him and Candy play

465
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:14.160
play well, yes, off one of one another for sure.

466
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.519
I want to talk about Carrie Green. She's playing John

467
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:19.559
Candy's oldest daughter.

468
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:23.640
I thought she was so cool when I was ten

469
00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:24.519
years old.

470
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:27.160
I was gonna say, this is well, this is this

471
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:29.440
is what ten year old girls want to look like

472
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:33.200
in nineteen eighty five. Right, Yeah, she's dressed cool, she's

473
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.480
got the headphones. So let's let's talk about Kerry Green.

474
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:42.000
In nineteen eighty four, she tells her parents that she

475
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:44.839
doesn't want to go to summer camp so that she

476
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:47.759
can instead go to New York City and go on

477
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:52.640
some movie auditions. Good choice, Carrie, because she gets she

478
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:57.519
gets discovered by Steven Spielberg, who casts her as Andy

479
00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:59.720
in The Goonies, which is one of the biggest movies

480
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:03.200
that A five, and the same year she's playing John

481
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:06.960
Canny's daughter. So Candy's got three movies this year. Richard

482
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:10.279
Krenna has two big movies this year, and Carrie Green

483
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:14.880
has two big movies this year as well. So but

484
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:17.799
here's the weird thing, Like like when you look at

485
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:20.799
Kerrie Green in nineteen eighty five, like she is like

486
00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:24.559
the blueprint for America's sweetheart. Like you just assume that

487
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:26.920
in five years she's gonna be Americas sweetheart, and she's

488
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:29.279
gonna she's gonna have like the Sondra Bullock roles and

489
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:31.400
the Meg Ryan rolls. Right, she's gonna be in the

490
00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:36.039
She's gonna be like the rom com queen. However, after

491
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:38.839
nineteen eighty five, a year later, she does what I

492
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:41.640
feel is probably her best acting in the nineteen eighty

501
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:13.240
and never looked back. She's she's popped up on some

502
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:15.359
TV and a couple of TV movies here and there.

503
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:18.720
But here's a surprising thing for you. Happily married has

504
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.079
a couple of kids. Do you know who she's married to? No,

505
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:31.559
actor John C. McKinley, Oliver Stone favorite, John C. McGinley.

506
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:34.079
You know, I always love him in Point Break, you know,

507
00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:37.680
when he's especially tall. Yeah, you know, and not Scrubs.

508
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:40.000
You know, I can't remember his name on Scrubs, the

509
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:42.519
doctor that was always the hard case. Give him.

510
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:46.319
Oh, I never watched it, but she's married to John C.

511
00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:47.000
McGinley.

512
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:50.119
He's awesome choice.

513
00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:54.440
Yeah, tell you. Also awesome her headphones. I know you

514
00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:56.559
had to pick up immediately on the fact that she's

515
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:01.559
listening to uh, Harold Faldemeyer's axel f Yeah, from Beverly

516
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:02.119
Hills Cop.

517
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:05.119
And then she's listening Footloose in the movie.

518
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:09.039
Yeah, Paramount. This is smart, Like, think about this. This

519
00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:12.640
is a Paramount movie, and they're plugging Paramount movies throughout

520
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:13.359
the entire thing.

521
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:16.000
We're see every poster the movie.

522
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:18.319
Oh yeah, don't put a pin in that. We're gonna

523
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:21.000
talk about that, we're leading up to that. But this

524
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:22.880
is just smart. You know what, I'm gonna put a

525
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:24.880
pin in it myself. I'm gonna hold off, just hold

526
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:27.519
that thought. Let's let's uh, let's let's talk about another

527
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:31.240
Chester child, very young Joey Lawrence playing Bobby.

528
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:33.200
He was so cute.

529
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:37.319
Well this is like this, Yeah, in the nineteen eighty

530
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:40.880
every kid had to have that that haircut. A shout

531
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:43.880
out to to my parents who chose not to give

532
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:47.279
me that hair in our house, not our house, Thank you,

533
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:51.039
Mom and Dad. Joey Lawrence best known for the TV

534
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:54.359
show Melissa and Joey, where I didn't I ever saw it,

535
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:58.400
but I remember I guess he's playing Joey. He's playing himself.

536
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:09.359
Okay, him in a crimy horror movie really and like.

537
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.160
Like wait, Joey or I don't.

538
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:13.359
Know as an adult, like it was like in two

539
00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:17.920
thousand and two or something, and that's like the only

540
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:20.200
thing I remember him from.

541
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:23.160
Well, here's the other thing too. I don't know what's

542
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:26.200
going on with this guy. But when you look at

543
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:29.039
some of the most popular television shows in the eighties,

544
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:34.039
the sitcoms, he is in Silver Spoons, He's in Different Strokes,

545
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.839
and his his breakout role arguably on Give Me a

546
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:44.400
Break with Nel Carter. Yeah, all three shows he plays

547
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:50.599
a kid named Joey. I don't know, you know, he's

548
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:52.440
he's fun here he's adorable. He's doing typical.

549
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:54.440
He will answer to anything else.

550
00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:57.559
Yes, maybe that's I don't know, maybe that's what it is.

551
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:00.400
But yeah, he's.

552
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:05.400
Fun. I'll tell you who's not fun. It's one more actor.

553
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:06.759
I want to one more, one more person I want

554
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:10.319
to talk about before we take a break. John Larriquette

555
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:16.559
as Don Moore or shot or or shall we call

556
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:24.319
him by his his real name, home Wrecker. He is Oh, well, okay, hold, okay,

557
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:27.799
let's just you talked about you're talking. Okay, we're gonna

558
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:30.920
get into this. So let's just I know, I know,

559
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.079
I'm jumping the gun here a little bit. But yeah,

560
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:35.319
it's it's not memorable scene or it's not definitely at

561
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:41.039
the pivotal moment unless But so John Candy, he's had

562
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:43.599
the boat accident. He's in the air cast. He it's

563
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:46.000
he there's raining and he just wants to stay at

564
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:50.000
home watch golf. So his wife takes the kids. They

565
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:54.160
go to the movies, all right, and she has forgotten

566
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:56.440
her wallet. You know, she's pulling out all this, all

567
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:01.039
this crap out of her purse, all the pulling stuff,

568
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:01.240
and the.

569
00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:03.119
Mom what are you doing?

570
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:08.680
And from behind her there's smarmy John Learri Katt and

571
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:12.000
his team son, hold on, let me get there, and

572
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:15.799
he says he he leans for like through him and

573
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:17.720
like with a with a with an. Andrew Jackson's like,

574
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:19.680
you know what, just just here, let's let me pay,

575
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:21.440
let me let me take care of this. And she's like, oh,

576
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:23.759
I can't, you can't do that, and he's like, no, please,

577
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:28.200
I don't mind. How happy to. So here's the thing.

578
00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:30.799
Amber If I'm John Lark, well, I'm not John Lark kid,

579
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:32.759
I don't want to be. But if I'm that, if

580
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:34.279
I'm Don Moore, Okay, see.

581
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:34.799
Here's the problem.

582
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:37.000
You haven't watched the last wing yet, so you haven't

583
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:38.920
seen him do the best cameo ever.

584
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:43.599
Okay, well then and that okay, but okay, so you

585
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:46.240
have okay, so you have a bias right now. But

586
00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:47.920
let me let me let me state my case. He

587
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:52.759
let me argue with you. On the surface, he is

588
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.000
there with his teenage son. It's an act of kindness.

589
00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:58.839
He's he's a single parent and he knows like this

590
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:00.440
woman does not want to let her kid. It's down.

591
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:03.240
I can do a nice thing, an act of kindness,

592
00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:08.240
and fine, that's good if that's where it ends. But

593
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:11.240
a day later he is inviting them out on his

594
00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:15.759
boat and they're hanging out, and then you're like, what,

595
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:18.680
what's what's going on with this guy? You know? And

596
00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:22.200
then later at the regatta, he's watching the family dog

597
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:24.720
and he's sitting there with his son and I'm like,

598
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:28.599
you know, you don't. Let's let's call it what it is.

599
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:33.799
John Candy's wife played by Karen Austin, she's I mean,

600
00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:34.799
let's be honest.

601
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:36.640
She's she's smoking hot.

602
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:39.640
Yeah, smoking hot. This is maybe I think John Candy

603
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:42.200
maybe started the whole. Hey I'm a big I'm a

604
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:44.160
big guy. I'm funny and I'm gonna have a hot

605
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:46.480
wife who's way on my legue kind of kind of.

606
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:49.000
Breaks their pal.

607
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:50.759
Did he not start it?

608
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.759
Choose John Candy all day every day like.

609
00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:58.279
Well, no, no, no, I'm not. I'm not saying you shouldn't.

610
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:01.559
I'm just saying I'm just saying, like when you think

611
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:03.960
of like King of Queens and like all these movies,

612
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.839
like all these movies and these TV shows where you've

613
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:08.000
got the funny guy, the big funny guy, you know,

614
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:11.240
or like not even like like think like Jim Belushi,

615
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:13.400
you know, like you tell me, he's like get Courtney

616
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:15.920
thorn Smith. And according to Jim, no, no he's not,

617
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:19.160
just not he haven't. I'm sorry, but you know, I

618
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:20.799
don't know. We're getting I'm getting off the rails.

619
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:23.359
Here, we're tasting back to don Here.

620
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:28.799
Here's the point, I think when he paid for the tickets.

621
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:31.559
Yeah, he's single, he's divorced.

622
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:35.559
He sees this woman, maybe she's single, who knows he

623
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:38.359
does a nice thing. Maybe you get a date out

624
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:41.160
of it, maybe you just make a friend out of it.

625
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:45.000
And John Candy could have gone with them at any time.

626
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:47.480
And he was being all maudlin and didn't want to go,

627
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:50.880
and she kept trying to get him to go. Yeah,

628
00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:53.240
and he was like, no, I'm just gonna stay at home.

629
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:56.440
And that was his choice. He was one hundred percent

630
00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:57.720
invited every time.

631
00:33:58.599 --> 00:33:58.920
True.

632
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:04.200
But more, lest we forget, he was at home with

633
00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:05.920
the neighbor holding her.

634
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:14.159
Hold on them, hold on, stay on the rails. Here

635
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.519
we we we we almost went off before with the

636
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:20.800
big guy hot wife thing. Let's get back. Here's the thing,

637
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:24.639
Amber you have. You have walked right into my trap,

638
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:29.559
oh dear, because here is the truth about John Moore

639
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.239
played by John Lara Keett. There was a subplot involving

640
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:38.639
larak Kt stealing Candy's wife and them having like a

641
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:43.679
romantic thing, and test audiences hated it, so Carl Reiner

642
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:46.760
cut it out. Well, they did not like John Mark,

643
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:48.079
they didn't like him.

644
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:52.159
So if he's gonna be stealing John Candy's.

645
00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:55.000
Wife the way, Okay, So when you watch, I mean,

646
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:57.519
this movie is like eighty five minutes long, and when

647
00:34:57.559 --> 00:34:59.119
you watch it, it's like, oh, here's a nice guy

648
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:00.880
doing a nice thing. And then oh wait, this guy

649
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:04.480
just is wanting to invite him out on the on

650
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:08.159

Okay, that's fine, but they're gonna they gotta swim and

656
00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:19.039
you know, not pay attention to what what Don Moore

657
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:23.079
is up to. And meanwhile, you know, in the in

658
00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:25.000
the full and the full cut, like we're never gonna

659
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:28.159
see the Reiner cut where we get this this subplot.

660
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:33.039
But originally there was some more scenes at home before

661
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:34.840
they go on vacation that kind of show why this

662
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:38.760
family is dysfunctional and why John Candy's overworked and stressed,

663
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:41.440
and it kind of creates like that, it kind of

664
00:35:41.480 --> 00:35:44.320
adds to like the rift like they start having, you know,

665
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:46.360
because like the movie.

666
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:49.840
Again, and I think this movie is perfect the way

667
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.639
it is. All of that is a bunch of masks.

668
00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:55.480
Yeah, but at the same time, like other movies.

669
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:57.199
That do the same thing like cliche.

670
00:35:57.599 --> 00:35:59.400
Yeah, but you know what I'm just saying, Like back

671
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:03.880
to Don Moore, it's just weird, like Okay, hey, I oh,

672
00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:05.960
do you need me to show up and watch your

673
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:08.719
dog while you jump on the boat and go sailing

674
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:12.400
and take pictures? Sure, like you're like something something's not

675
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:15.519
right with Don Moore. I've always thought that, you know,

676
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:18.559
child Jeff thought it, you know, didn't didn't care for

677
00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:21.000
this guy, there was he was always suspect. And now

678
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:24.079
doing the research for this pod, I find out that

679
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:27.320
he was trying to steal Candy's wife. So there it is.

680
00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:29.719
I like the world that I'm living in where he

681
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:30.960
was just a nice guy.

682
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:35.320
Well, okay, let's let's stick with him. Let's let's let's

683
00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:37.639
turn this sitution. Let's turn the conversation about Don Moore

684
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:40.880
in a positive light. I want to have I want

685
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:42.639
to talk about the movie theater. You start talking about

686
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:44.119
the film posters, I said, let's put a pin in it.

687
00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:46.880
So here we are, we see in the in the

688
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:51.920
we see posters in this lobby for Uncommon Valor, Footloose,

689
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:57.000
top Secret, Friday the thirteenth Part five, a New Beginning

690
00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:00.480
which happens to star my friend Tiffany Hilme who spoke

691
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:03.400
with us about Friday thirteenth Part five last year. Go

692
00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:06.519
back and check out that episode. And then lastly, an

693
00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:13.480
Amber Lewis favorite Dragon Slayer. So Amber, my question is

694
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:18.280
what are Lara Chett and his son, his teenage son

695
00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:21.239
Greg going to see? What were they on their way

696
00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:25.280
to see? And what was what was the Chester family?

697
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:28.360
What were they going to see? And ultimately it seems

698
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:29.840
like they all are going to go see the same movie.

699
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:34.239
So from that lineup, I mean, there's only a couple options. Right,

700
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:36.239
You can't you can't, you can't take the kids to

701
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:40.280
see Friday thirteen five. I dare say that the Chester family,

702
00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:42.639
the kids weren't going to go see Uncommon Valor starring

703
00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:46.119
Gene Hackman, which is awesome. Maybe maybe laraic Keett was

704
00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:49.119
taking his son to see that one. Maybe it's gotta

705
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:50.280
be Dragonslayer.

706
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:53.079
Right, I don't know. I thought it was Footloose. Okay,

707
00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:55.599
I guess I think you're listening to the music and.

708
00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:59.880
Okay, so make the argument for Footloose? Is it is it?

709
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:03.440
You know, young, young hot mom and the teenage daughter.

710
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.800
I want to see Footloose because it's footloose and well

711
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:10.960
and like the other like the toddler child, and then

712
00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:15.199
who we're gonna get to in a second, and then Bobby,

713
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:17.360
you know, Joey Lawrence. Like they're just they're happy to

714
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:18.400
go to a movie. They don't care.

715
00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:21.880
Yes, Like this is the kind of situation that we

716
00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:26.280
were in in my family in the eighties where we

717
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:28.360
saw thatch of stuff when we were really too young

718
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:29.159
to understand it.

719
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:30.760
We watched Footloose.

720
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:32.599
I didn't get half of what was going on, but

721
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:34.320
people were dancing and the music was good.

722
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:37.719
I think here's what here's my thought. I don't think

723
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:40.039
Larakett and his sounmer planning to go see foot Loose.

724
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:42.559
I'm I'm I'm thinking they're seeing dragons Layer or they're

725
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:45.159
seeing Uncommon Valor. And then he's just gonna zag and

726
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:47.559
he's like, no, hey son, we're gonna go shut up.

727
00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:51.159
See I wanted this. This chick's look, she's got a

728
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:53.679
teenage daughter. She's wearing headphones too.

729
00:38:53.679 --> 00:38:56.039
I don't think he even needed to say anything because

730
00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:58.599
that he and Carrie Green like just kind of went

731
00:38:58.639 --> 00:38:59.159
off together.

732
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:02.360
Yeah. I don't know. I think I don't know. I

733
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:07.400
think Bobby is like ten minutes in the Footloose, he's like, mom, no, no,

734
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:10.639
what you know, he's being a turd. And meanwhile, there's

735
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:13.000
a movie in the next the theater. The next door.

736
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:15.519
You can hear Dragon Slayer, and he's he knows that

737
00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:16.880
there's dragons and there's.

738
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:20.280
He probably he's a clever one, so he probably said

739
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:22.960
he had to go to the bathroom and then snuck

740
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:24.639
out and went into Dragon Slayer.

741
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:26.880
And you know, the toddler like fell asleep. So it

742
00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:27.719
doesn't even matter.

743
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:34.199
All right, Well, Amber, you are taking Liam the child

744
00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:38.159
into the movie theater. These are the movies? Are you guys?

745
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:42.599
And larak ktt and and you know he's he's behind you,

746
00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:45.079
he's about to pay for your tickets. What are you seeing?

747
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:46.440
Like out of all these movies? What do you what

748
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:47.119
are you going to see?

749
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:49.039
I mean I was a terrible mother.

750
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:52.119
I took Liam when he was like four to see

751
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:56.679
Batman be kids, and I could he was.

752
00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:00.039
I called my brother a.

753
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:01.440
Like, I think good for Kim.

754
00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:05.159
I thought it was like Batman. I didn't know. He

755
00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:07.599
was like, yeah, this sudden like eighty nine Batman.

756
00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:11.239
So yeah, you want to wait? Were you one of

757
00:40:11.239 --> 00:40:13.840
those upset mothers? Like like I bought the Happy Meal

758
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:18.199
and this this movie's this penguin's scary, scared my child

759
00:40:18.239 --> 00:40:20.320
and he's trying to have sex with Michelle Fire for

760
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:22.840
this is not Batman. Oh no, no, no, no, no oh,

761
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:23.679
you're like it's awesome.

762
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:26.239
Yeah, I just fell back because he was scared.

763
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:30.440
It's like, uh, all right, so what what movie?

764
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:32.480
So yeah, I totally would have taken him to see

765
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:34.920
Dragonslayer because that's what I wanted to see, and then

766
00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:36.159
you'd have nightmares for a week.

767
00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:39.559
Are you letting John Learquette buy your tickets? Yeah, there's

768
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:42.840
an implication there, Amber all right now.

769
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:45.079
Because she said I will accept if you will allow

770
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:46.119
us to pay you back.

771
00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:49.320
It's nineteen eighty five. They're on vacation out of state,

772
00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:52.639
Like there's no how how are you ever gonna Oh

773
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:55.039
he knows. He's like, oh, give me your number. I

774
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:57.400
got a boat, you got a bathing suit.

775
00:40:57.880 --> 00:40:59.880
I'm a single, though, my motivations are a lot.

776
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:02.519
Okay, true, but I'm just.

777
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:04.400
Saying, like he's single, I'm single.

778
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:08.800
And Karen Austin in this movie Newsflash, she's only twenty

779
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:13.679
eight years old, playing a mother of teenage Carrie Green.

780
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:16.239
How's that forense?

781
00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:19.840
Yeah, she had her when she was like thirteen.

782
00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:21.880
Well, you know when they're on the beach and like

783
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:24.440
the guys are like whistling at them, and you know,

784
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:28.400
she's like mom, you know, it's like, yeah, it's you know,

785
00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:30.199
your mom's your mom's hot.

786
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:31.000
Yeah I did.

787
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:34.440
I did laugh at her in that bikini. I was like,

788
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:38.360
well done. You did not look like you had three children.

789
00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:42.800
Yeah, someone's doing their pilates and the third tri master.

790
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:43.280
I guess.

791
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:46.159
I don't know. I don't know much about that stuff,

792
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:48.920
but I do know this, Samberg, We've got to take

793
00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:52.840
a break. When we come back, I want to talk

794
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:54.480
a little bit about music. I want to talk about

795
00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:56.519
the background of this one. This one's got a pretty

796
00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:59.559
interesting background. How it all comes to be well, we'll

797
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:06.000
talk about that in a minute. Welcome back. We're discussing

798
00:42:06.199 --> 00:42:12.519
Carl Reiner's nineteen eighty five comedic classic Summer Rental starring

799
00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:18.320
John Candy. Interesting music here, Amber and Again we've been

800
00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:20.920
talking about how this actor has got two big movies

801
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:23.880
this summer, like a handful of them are doing that.

802
00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:30.440
The composer Alan Silvestri is also having a pretty good

803
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:34.440
year because he's composed the music for Summer Rental. He's

804
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:36.679
also composed the music for Back to the.

805
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:40.079
Future, which is like the greatest music.

806
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:44.599
It is pretty iconic, it's pretty amazing, and this guy

807
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:47.280
has got scores in two big movies.

808
00:42:48.679 --> 00:42:51.719
I feel like he used all of his pixie dust

809
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:56.800
back to the Future. And this music reminded me of

810
00:42:58.199 --> 00:43:02.360
the music from like a movie like Uh Tootsy or

811
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:05.679
Baby Boom or something where it's like kind of repetitive

812
00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:06.880
but pleasant.

813
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:11.800
It's kind of like, hey, I've I've got I've got

814
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:13.800
something extra here I can I can throw something together

815
00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:16.920
for you. You know, Yeah, I'm gonna you know, I'm

816
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:22.119
gonna say this in somewhere our our scoring session expert

817
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:25.360
Wayne Whited is gonna be activated, like come, come and

818
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:29.000
get me right, kind of a kind of kind of

819
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:32.760
a kind of a mundane Allen Sevestrie film score. It's

820
00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:35.960
very forgettable, Like right now, I'm thinking, right now, I

821
00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:41.480
watched this twenty four hours ago. I can't remember any

822
00:43:41.519 --> 00:43:45.920
of the music except for the very awesome Jimmy Buffett

823
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:48.599
song turning Around. Oh my gosh, am I wrong?

824
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:55.280
That song started and I was like, what host I had?

825
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:58.360
I love Buffett. I completely forgot, Like when it started,

826
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:00.719
I was like, huh, sounds like it would have been

827
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:02.519
a Jimmy Buffett song. And then you hear the voice

828
00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:04.599
and I'm like, wait, is this is this a Jimmy

829
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:06.960
Buffet's song. I'm like Google, like I'm watching the movie.

830
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:11.000
I'm Google like turning Around. I just I put turning

831
00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:13.599
Around Jimmy Buffett question mark And then it popped up

832
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:16.960
Summer Rental like, and it's one of those songs like

833
00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:21.320
people love this Jimmy Buffett song, I guess. And I

834
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:23.119
didn't do a whole lot of deep diving here, but

835
00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:25.920
apparently it's not featured on any of his albums.

836
00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:28.159
No, you can only hear it in the movie.

837
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.679
Only in the movie, because I did a little little

838
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:35.119
Wayne White at action and found out that initially Allen

839
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:38.559
Silvestrie's score was released in like they only did like

840
00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:41.360
one hundred and fifty copies or like something something low,

841
00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:44.679
something crazy. They sold out one hundred and fifty thousand, hundred,

842
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:48.280
I don't know, it was a small amount, thank you.

843
00:44:48.360 --> 00:44:52.559
It's nineteen eighty five. They sold out, and then it

844
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:55.079
was gone for a long time, and then they brought

845
00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:57.039
out I guess the movie hit like an anniversary year,

846
00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:02.119
and they brought out four different versions like extended versions

847
00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:05.639
of the score, and like one album looked like the

848
00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:12.199
blue Whammo Frisbee that butt, and one was like yeah

849
00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:14.320
one like each each one had like a different like

850
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:18.159
one was like a reddish yellowish one. One was like

851
00:45:18.199 --> 00:45:20.280
a barnacle themed one. Like they did like they had

852
00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:23.559
some fun with it, but all of them were missing

853
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:26.199
the Jimmy Buffett song turning Around. So you have to

854
00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:29.159
if you want this song, you have to buy the

855
00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:29.960
movie or rent.

856
00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:32.880
You have to do like like we did in the

857
00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:35.360
eighties where you hold your boombox.

858
00:45:36.360 --> 00:45:37.079
Television.

859
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:39.760
You have to you have to go to YouTube play

860
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:42.880
the song and then and then download it as an

861
00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:45.559
MP four or an MP three or whatever. The hell.

862
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:48.119
That's that's how you're gonna get it. But uh, it

863
00:45:48.199 --> 00:45:50.320
is a it's a great song. It is absolutely a

864
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:54.719
great song. Yeah, Jimmy Buffett fans, uh they know that.

865
00:45:55.119 --> 00:45:57.719
And if you don't know Jimmy Buffett that much, you'd

866
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:01.800
like this song. Moving on this, like I said before

867
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:04.320
the break, this this movie, it comes together in a

868
00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:07.960
very unusual way. I want to I want to hit

869
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:10.280
you with some some fun stuff. You're Amber. So it's

870
00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:16.880
filmed in Saint Pete Beach, Florida. The town of Citrus

871
00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:19.239
Cove doesn't exist. That's a fictional town, I think. And

872
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:21.320
they apparently the sign is still there like on the

873
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:25.079
on the bridge. It was like a yeah, how how

874
00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:27.440
has a film film geek not went down there and

875
00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:27.960
stolen that?

876
00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:28.719
Right?

877
00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:32.039
I'm not I'm not condoning that behavior, by the way,

878
00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:35.800
but if you happen to have it, you know, please

879
00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:41.079
message me. You know, we'll talk numbers. Amber. I feel

880
00:46:41.119 --> 00:46:45.159
I get myself in trouble. The film was inspired by

881
00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:50.519
a real life situation with producer Bernie Brilstein. This guy

882
00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:54.000
had rented a beach house. He comes home after dinner

883
00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:59.039
one night to find it packed with uninvited guests, and

884
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:02.920
it was real Stein's client who had in fact let

885
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:07.360
them all inside. Now, as he's kicking everybody out, and

886
00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:10.079
this sounds reminiscence because they kind of made this scene

887
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:14.079
happen in Yes, as he's kicking everybody out, he's wondering

888
00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:17.280
where the hell this this, this, this guy is that

889
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:20.960
he allowed to stay with him. He finds him sleeping

890
00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:26.280
in his bed in wet sand filled swimming trunks, just

891
00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:29.360
like you see in the movie Amber. Do you know

892
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:34.760
who that client was, Phil Murray close? His name was

893
00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:37.599
John Belushish.

894
00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:39.920
Yeah, I'm not surprised.

895
00:47:40.159 --> 00:47:42.119
If you're gonna summer with John Belushi, you better not

896
00:47:42.199 --> 00:47:43.079
leave him home alone.

897
00:47:43.159 --> 00:47:46.039
Seriously, you have to expect that kind of shenan again.

898
00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:49.800
Yeah, now here, this this fascinates me. The film was

899
00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:55.119
greenlit by new Paramount chief executive Ned Tannin he realizes

900
00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:59.199
the studio's summer release schedule has one movie on it.

901
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:01.679
I think about that. It like every studio is like,

902
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:03.760
we got we have to have our two big movies

903
00:48:03.760 --> 00:48:05.400
in June and two in July and two and all,

904
00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:08.000
like you gotta have a lot, right, they have one?

905
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:11.639
Paramount has one movie on the slate for summer release,

906
00:48:11.719 --> 00:48:13.760
and that's Joe Dante's Explorers.

907
00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:15.960
Which I loved but was not setting the world on fire.

908
00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:18.960
Well you know I love it too, but it's the

909
00:48:18.960 --> 00:48:23.199
only one because the planned releases of Clue and Young

910
00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:28.079
Sherlock Holmes had been delayed to the fall. So this

911
00:48:28.119 --> 00:48:31.719
guy Tannin reads the script for summer rental on a

912
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:35.920
Friday in early nineteen eighty five, and the film was

913
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:40.599
put into production on the following Monday, with Carl Reiner

914
00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:44.639
and John Candy already in place to direct and Starr. Wow,

915
00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:49.679
is this guy like the like the king of movers

916
00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:50.239
and Shakers?

917
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:55.679
Like I mean, like, hey, I bet making a pitch

918
00:48:55.800 --> 00:49:00.519
like he must be he could rule that studio and Player?

919
00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:05.199
Yeah, yeah, go back and listen to our Robert the

920
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:09.800
Player episode, which I I have some thoughts about that movie,

921
00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:15.239
and Amberg has has some different thoughts. But yeah, they

922
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:18.719
shoot this in seven weeks from March to April of

923
00:49:18.800 --> 00:49:21.639
nineteen eighty five, and then quickly release it in August.

924
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:25.320
Think about how fast that's that's moving. That would never

925
00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:28.159
happen today. You couldn't do. You couldn't do no.

926
00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:30.119
Clint Eastwood probably could.

927
00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:31.199
Maybe maybe Clinton.

928
00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:34.000
We talked about how quickly he moves.

929
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:37.400
Yeah, this was the first movie with with such a

930
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:39.559
short turn around time to be released that year, and

931
00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:43.840
the second one that had a similar shooting schedule was

932
00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:48.440
one of my favorites, Commando, which which came out in

933
00:49:48.480 --> 00:49:49.280
October of that year.

934
00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:52.760
Yeah, which, yeah, I mean, you just have Arnold blowing

935
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:53.920
things up, so it's fine.

936
00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:57.559
Yeah. Speaking of Arnold blowing things up, I kind of

937
00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:00.760
mentioned Jason Andy once or twice or sixty times already.

938
00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:06.280
But listen, they just recently did a Commando Versus Rambo

939
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:09.639
two episode, which I had been dying and listened to

940
00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:12.480
since I heard about it last year when they were

941
00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:16.280
pitching it. Go check them out again. Go check out

942
00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:18.039
our friends at the show You Can't Be Stares podcast

943
00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:22.039
to listen to that episode episodes, I should say, because

944
00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:27.239
they were just awesome, absolutely awesome. John Candy and John

945
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:32.480
larri Quette and Lois Hamilton all three appeared together. This

946
00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:34.719
was not their first movie together. They had appeared together

947
00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:39.960
in Stripes in nineteen eighty one. And you're saying, Lois Hamilton, Yeah,

948
00:50:40.280 --> 00:50:46.639
what do you think of these? That's that's less Hamilton. Yeah.

949
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:52.679
Ford model turned actress, famous model in the seventies. It's

950
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:59.320
a very comedic, albeit interesting role in this movie. Issues

951
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:03.679
he's showing anyone that will pay attention long enough her

952
00:51:04.559 --> 00:51:07.079
her her new implants and getting their opinion on how

953
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:09.360
real they look. I love it.

954
00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:11.840
At the end when she asked the judge, it's like

955
00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:15.719
he's a judge.

956
00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:20.760
Her giant hulking contractor husband is like, really, you know

957
00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:25.400
he's a judge. You know, I listen, it's it's uh.

958
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:27.719
I think it's a fun joke that like they keep

959
00:51:27.760 --> 00:51:31.960
coming back to throughout the movie. Yes, it's kind of fun, like.

960
00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:33.679
Yeah, I thought it was hilarious.

961
00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:36.199
Yeah, yeah, And it's one of those I usually.

962
00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:37.719
Don't like stuff like that. But you don't see her,

963
00:51:37.800 --> 00:51:40.000
You only ever see her from like the back.

964
00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:44.360
So I can only imagine how how many times the

965
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:49.239
pause button was hit on this VHS copy with the

966
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:53.960
male youth of America just say is it there? Because

967
00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:55.639
you know you think like I think I saw something

968
00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:57.719
but he didn't right or did you it?

969
00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:00.000
Did you?

970
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:07.000
I'll never tell This film Amber finished in second place

971
00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:11.920
on its opening weekend, beating the other new comedy, Pee

972
00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:16.519
Wee's Big Adventure, which came in third place, So any

973
00:52:16.679 --> 00:52:21.960
any any guesses as to what was first place? I

974
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:25.119
gave you, I gave you, I did give you a hint.

975
00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:26.719
Was it Back to the Future.

976
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:29.320
It was Back to the Future, which held the number

977
00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:35.559
one spot for six straight weeks. If you're going to

978
00:52:35.599 --> 00:52:39.000
premiere your new comedy and you're gonna lose to anybody,

979
00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:40.039
I think losing to Back.

980
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:42.119
To the Future is pretty fine.

981
00:52:42.440 --> 00:52:46.119
That's fine. Yeah, you're second place is fine? When went

982
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:48.239
back to the futures first place? Let's talk about a

983
00:52:48.239 --> 00:52:50.079
couple scenes. We've already talked about couple of scenes, but

984
00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:52.239
I got a couple I'd like to talk about and

985
00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:54.960
we'll figure out what the pivotal moment is for for

986
00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:59.840
you and I. You mentioned the restaurant scene where Richard

987
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:02.280
as just being a jerk to his wife. He's been obnoxious,

988
00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:06.280
you know, don't serve those What are you doing? These

989
00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:10.000
are my lobsters, your lobsters. Yeah, you got my table,

990
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:12.039
but you're not getting my lobsters. Ok. And this is

991
00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:15.840
your table my table?

992
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:18.280
Oh, I see.

993
00:53:18.199 --> 00:53:22.920
This is your table and these are your lobsters. You

994
00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:23.400
got it.

995
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:28.079
I suppose this is your wife?

996
00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:29.840
Is this your time?

997
00:53:31.159 --> 00:53:35.840
Is this your shirts? Is this your belt? Are these

998
00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:39.719
your shirts? Hey? I have been driving all day long.

999
00:53:39.760 --> 00:53:40.719
We just get into town.

1000
00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:42.400
I'm waiting, not in line every two hours.

1001
00:53:43.840 --> 00:53:46.760
These are my lobsters. So the scene, you know, they've

1002
00:53:46.760 --> 00:53:49.840
been waiting. First off, I don't care how good the restaurants.

1003
00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:52.400
I would do two hours for anything.

1004
00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:56.599
I'm not. The line is around the block. They're waiting

1005
00:53:56.719 --> 00:54:00.400
and waiting and waiting, and he, you know, the tank,

1006
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:03.960
the lobster tanks getting, you know, fewer and fewer. Richard

1007
00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:06.079
Crenna and his party of five come in and steal

1008
00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:09.599
the table from you know, John Candy's family, and then

1009
00:54:09.639 --> 00:54:12.119
they take the lobsters, and you know, we get this

1010
00:54:12.239 --> 00:54:15.840
great exchange. My lobster is my table, you know all

1011
00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:16.719
this is your table.

1012
00:54:17.599 --> 00:54:21.000
And he has the audacity to say that because John

1013
00:54:21.119 --> 00:54:24.039
Candy is just a summer renter.

1014
00:54:24.360 --> 00:54:27.320
He is entire He feels entitled.

1015
00:54:27.760 --> 00:54:30.320
Yeah, like when he was the one that walked in

1016
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:34.199
without a reservation, stole his table, stole his lot.

1017
00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:37.599
I just love I love the whole. Like Candy Candy

1018
00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:40.280
realizing that he's being defeated in the moment when he's like,

1019
00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:42.960
is this your shirt? Is this your tie? When he

1020
00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:45.440
on zips his spasically, these are your shorts, and his

1021
00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:48.800
wife's like, oh, he goes he makes that noise.

1022
00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:53.360
Yeah, he's so gross to her.

1023
00:54:53.960 --> 00:54:57.000
He is, but I know I shouldn't laugh, but that

1024
00:54:57.239 --> 00:55:00.679
that just that that noise he makes the a shush her.

1025
00:55:00.760 --> 00:55:03.679
He he could have went or shush or I'm talking

1026
00:55:03.719 --> 00:55:07.599
to her, but he he does that. It makes me

1027
00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:10.320
laugh like like an idiot every time I watch this.

1028
00:55:11.400 --> 00:55:13.519
It's a fun scene though, because it's this is this

1029
00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:15.440
is where it begins for these guys. This is their

1030
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:18.519
their first fight and it's gonna They're gonna they're gonna

1031
00:55:18.519 --> 00:55:21.440
trade blows throughout the movie until they the big regatta

1032
00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:25.960
race at the end. Right, love that moment. We talked

1033
00:55:25.960 --> 00:55:30.280
about Jimmy Buffet's turning around. You know, any any good

1034
00:55:30.360 --> 00:55:34.519
eighties movie typically has a montage scene. So you know,

1035
00:55:34.639 --> 00:55:38.079
let's let's take an old, broken down boat that's being

1036
00:55:38.199 --> 00:55:40.800
used as a restaurant. Let's get it sea ready for

1037
00:55:40.840 --> 00:55:43.760
the regatta, and all the while we're gonna hear Jimmy

1038
00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:47.480
Buffett's turning around, which and that for me.

1039
00:55:47.679 --> 00:55:49.599
I'm jumping the gun a little bit. But that is

1040
00:55:49.719 --> 00:55:51.519
the pivotal scene. For me because it's the.

1041
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:55.079
First time in the whole trip that they're all having

1042
00:55:55.199 --> 00:55:55.960
the same vacation.

1043
00:55:56.800 --> 00:56:00.400
Good call, I didn't even think about that. Amber you Yeah,

1044
00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:03.960
you might. You might have just won me over to

1045
00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:08.880
this being the pivotal moment because yeah, they we've seen

1046
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:13.119
nothing but dysfunction the entire movie, and here the entire

1047
00:56:13.199 --> 00:56:18.079
families together, their new friends, uh Scully and his crew

1048
00:56:18.159 --> 00:56:22.239
of a degenerates or you know from the bar, They're

1049
00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:27.719
all everyone's together, everyone's working together. Yeah, more believable. Is

1050
00:56:27.760 --> 00:56:30.360
it more believable that a family like this that has

1051
00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:37.000
no experience with uh, you know, carpentry, painting, repair, boat maintenance?

1052
00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:40.920
Can they can they build this boat? Or can they

1053
00:56:41.039 --> 00:56:44.639
can they can they restore this boat? Uh? Is it

1054
00:56:44.719 --> 00:56:46.760
more likely that they can restore this boat? Or is

1055
00:56:46.840 --> 00:56:50.639
it more likely that the nerds from from a Lambda

1056
00:56:50.719 --> 00:56:54.639
lamber Lambda can can basically remodel an entire house in

1057
00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:57.239
Revenge of the Nerds. What do you think? Who? Who?

1058
00:56:57.360 --> 00:56:57.480
Who?

1059
00:56:57.599 --> 00:56:58.719
Who wins this? This? This?

1060
00:56:58.960 --> 00:56:59.079
Uh?

1061
00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:00.320
This kind of test?

1062
00:57:01.280 --> 00:57:04.920
Well, I'm gonna go with more wholesome choice and root

1063
00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:08.400
for John Candy and his family. All right, Well, I

1064
00:57:08.440 --> 00:57:11.119
mean I think that boat was pretty wasn't it quite

1065
00:57:11.159 --> 00:57:12.800
as in a bad shape as.

1066
00:57:13.280 --> 00:57:19.280
Yeah, the land it was a shithole. Yeah, yeah, all right,

1067
00:57:20.039 --> 00:57:21.840
but you know when you have when you have a toddler,

1068
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:24.480
you put don't put a paint brush in a tyler's hand,

1069
00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:29.840
A good chat. Okay, you just you're just dragging this

1070
00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:31.519
movie into the wholesome.

1071
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:34.880
Yes, well, and you keep talking about him as dysfunctional.

1072
00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:37.519
I think John Candy, I love him as a father

1073
00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:37.920
in this.

1074
00:57:38.039 --> 00:57:40.920
Movie, like, no, well, he was out of his weight

1075
00:57:41.119 --> 00:57:45.039
and he does with these kids, but it just feels hard.

1076
00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:47.039
It does feel a little weird that because in the

1077
00:57:47.079 --> 00:57:50.679
middle of the movie, he's he's he's well, and I

1078
00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:53.079
get it, he's he's injured. He wants to stay at home,

1079
00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:55.760
and then he's not injured, but he wants to hang

1080
00:57:55.800 --> 00:57:59.119
out with Scully and drink it the bar and mean

1081
00:57:59.119 --> 00:58:01.639
while she's all, well.

1082
00:58:01.559 --> 00:58:03.840
Here's something that's very subtle. But I like the way

1083
00:58:03.920 --> 00:58:04.320
they do it.

1084
00:58:05.199 --> 00:58:08.480
As a larger person myself, it is hard to be

1085
00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:14.519
a large person on vacation at the beach, Like it's

1086
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:18.719
just not an environment where you're comfortable. And he admits

1087
00:58:18.800 --> 00:58:22.280
to being insecure and the one time he went to

1088
00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:25.960
the beach. It was, you know, Shenanigans, trying to find

1089
00:58:27.800 --> 00:58:30.719
you know, play with his kid and the whole thing.

1090
00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:33.360
So you know that one.

1091
00:58:33.400 --> 00:58:36.280
Setback of hurting his knee makes it so easy to

1092
00:58:36.360 --> 00:58:40.199
be like, you know, it's a struggle to do this anyway.

1093
00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:46.199
He yeah, Yeah, I wouldn't like that kind of cast.

1094
00:58:46.719 --> 00:58:47.519
I would not want to be.

1095
00:58:49.840 --> 00:58:52.920
At the beach an inflatable plastic bag on your leg.

1096
00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:55.920
Yeah, Amber, I think I think you've won me over.

1097
00:58:56.000 --> 00:58:59.800
I think the boat montage to fix the boat montage seen,

1098
00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:03.599
I think that's pivotal moment because and it's only for

1099
00:59:03.679 --> 00:59:05.679
the reason that you give is that the family has

1100
00:59:05.760 --> 00:59:07.880
come together and they're all they're all having this. I

1101
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:09.440
love that. I love that phrame. They're all having the

1102
00:59:09.480 --> 00:59:12.960
same vacation. Can I give you a runner up like

1103
00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:15.000
I was I had, I had my Pivol moment. I'm

1104
00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:16.360
gonna call it. Well now now it's got to be

1105
00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:20.239
the runner up after you, after you gave that astute breakdown.

1106
00:59:21.199 --> 00:59:23.840
I think we got to talk a little bit about

1107
00:59:23.880 --> 00:59:26.800
Candy having a heart to heart with his daughter on

1108
00:59:26.840 --> 00:59:31.599
the beach. I love that song, very touching. Now here's why,

1109
00:59:31.800 --> 00:59:35.559
here's why I initially thought was the pivot moment. He's bonding,

1110
00:59:35.800 --> 00:59:39.000
he's making some time for his daddy daughter time, and

1111
00:59:39.639 --> 00:59:41.920
the dialogue, you know, she she's like, how's the boat

1112
00:59:42.719 --> 00:59:45.519
and he's like, well, you can't win them all and

1113
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:48.639
she looks at him kind of with these sad eyes

1114
00:59:48.679 --> 00:59:50.400
and she was, but wouldn't you like to win one?

1115
00:59:50.920 --> 00:59:54.719
Wouldn't your dad? And that dialogue is so telling that,

1116
00:59:56.119 --> 00:59:57.800
you know, like the way she looks at her dad,

1117
00:59:57.920 --> 01:00:00.960
like she sees that he is he's he's not he's

1118
01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:03.079
not a winner, is what you know, kind of and

1119
01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:08.000
not enough. Yeah, it's not a cruel thing. She just

1120
01:00:08.119 --> 01:00:10.920
knows like that, my dad just he doesn't win, you know,

1121
01:00:11.000 --> 01:00:14.360
he's never won one. And it's it's a little heartbreaking,

1122
01:00:14.440 --> 01:00:15.960
but it's also it's a I think it's a great

1123
01:00:16.039 --> 01:00:18.519
moment between those two characters. It's really good, good writing

1124
01:00:18.719 --> 01:00:21.199
as far as I'm concerned, And for me, I was like,

1125
01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:25.920
it tells you a lot about who Jack Chester is

1126
01:00:26.280 --> 01:00:29.320
and why he's this burned out, stressed out air traffic

1127
01:00:29.360 --> 01:00:32.840
controller who neglected you know, you know, and I'm talking

1128
01:00:32.840 --> 01:00:34.800
about the overall like so this the cut scenes, but

1129
01:00:34.920 --> 01:00:37.039
like you know, where he's probably neglected his family. He's

1130
01:00:37.079 --> 01:00:40.199
probably neglected his marriage. You know, hasn't taken a trip

1131
01:00:40.239 --> 01:00:43.360
since their honeymoon. I just love that moment. It's you know,

1132
01:00:44.079 --> 01:00:45.840
because you know when she shows up, like she kicks

1133
01:00:45.880 --> 01:00:47.559
off the montage, She's like, hey, Dad, this could be

1134
01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:50.440
the one. And then you know, crank up, Jimmy buffet.

1135
01:00:50.440 --> 01:00:52.079
We're gonna bid this. We're gonna fix this boat up,

1136
01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:55.480
all right, Amber, Let's uh, let's take one more break

1137
01:00:55.519 --> 01:00:57.119
and then we'll come back. We'll start wrapping things up,

1138
01:01:01.039 --> 01:01:04.599
all right, Lewis Uh. This is the part where we

1139
01:01:04.639 --> 01:01:08.320
always talk about the director. You know, if you were

1140
01:01:08.519 --> 01:01:11.320
not familiar, if someone's not familiar with with Carl Reiner,

1141
01:01:11.800 --> 01:01:14.960
what three films would you suggest they watch? Now, I'm

1142
01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:18.719
gonna I'm gonna offer you something here. We can talk

1143
01:01:18.760 --> 01:01:23.960
Carl Reiner, or you can give me your favorite John

1144
01:01:24.079 --> 01:01:26.719
Candy movies, or how about an you can do a mix.

1145
01:01:26.840 --> 01:01:28.519
You can be like, hey, I'm gonna call out this

1146
01:01:28.679 --> 01:01:31.239
Carl Reiner movie. I'm gonna call it this John Candy movie.

1147
01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:33.639
You can mix and match. You can go all Candy,

1148
01:01:33.719 --> 01:01:36.880
you can go all Reiner. Amber, What do you got?

1149
01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:39.199
Someone watches Summer rental and they're like, I love this

1150
01:01:39.320 --> 01:01:42.000
director and I love this this this guy, John Candy.

1151
01:01:42.039 --> 01:01:43.480
What do you got for me? What can you tell me? Amber?

1152
01:01:43.519 --> 01:01:44.360
What are you? What are you going with?

1153
01:01:45.320 --> 01:01:51.039
Well? I am going all Carl Reiner, But he didn't, surprising.

1154
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:54.760
Well because I think just just if John Candy is

1155
01:01:54.760 --> 01:01:57.480
in it, just watch it, because like I said, even

1156
01:01:57.519 --> 01:01:59.840
if the movie isn't any good, he is amazing.

1157
01:02:00.440 --> 01:02:00.840
That's fair.

1158
01:02:02.639 --> 01:02:04.760
But so Carl Reiner, this is where I kind of

1159
01:02:05.119 --> 01:02:07.960
kind of fudged a little bit. He hasn't directed a

1160
01:02:08.119 --> 01:02:14.039
ton of movies, and so yeah, so my first choice.

1161
01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:18.880
The only thing he didn't do was direct. He created,

1162
01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:23.239
he wrote, and co starred in The Dick Van Dyke Show.

1163
01:02:24.199 --> 01:02:27.679
And that show it's on Amazon Prime and it is

1164
01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:31.760
just as much of a delight as it was when

1165
01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:32.519
it first aired.

1166
01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:35.400
Like I love that show so much.

1167
01:02:36.360 --> 01:02:40.199
You they can hear us, they can't see us, but

1168
01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:42.039
if they could see us, it's see to me shaking

1169
01:02:42.079 --> 01:02:46.039
my head because even when I give you the opportunity

1170
01:02:46.119 --> 01:02:50.800
to break the rule, you find a way to break

1171
01:02:50.880 --> 01:02:55.519
it in a different way and still be right. Oh Jesus,

1172
01:02:56.199 --> 01:02:59.639
all right, all right, So the Dick Carl Reiner's work

1173
01:02:59.639 --> 01:03:04.079
with The Dickan Dyke Show. That's one, Yes, what else?

1174
01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:10.840
I worship Steve Martin. I love every single thing he's

1175
01:03:10.920 --> 01:03:11.400
ever done.

1176
01:03:12.159 --> 01:03:16.280
And Carl Reiner directed one of my favorites, All of Me,

1177
01:03:17.079 --> 01:03:18.719
with Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin.

1178
01:03:18.800 --> 01:03:22.239
Lily Tomlin, all right, we agree here, We agree here.

1179
01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:27.039
That's of the four Steve Martin collaborations that Renner did,

1180
01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:30.159
this is my favorite. All of Me is on my list.

1181
01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:33.199
I don't know. I love a whole, great, big bunch,

1182
01:03:33.320 --> 01:03:35.800
but yeah, all of Me.

1183
01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:39.239
But fantastic. Yeah, okay, all right, what do you have

1184
01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:39.880
for the third? One?

1185
01:03:40.840 --> 01:03:44.639
Summer School? I quote that movie like once a week.

1186
01:03:45.960 --> 01:03:50.840
Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you. So I'll play

1187
01:03:50.920 --> 01:03:55.199
by the rules and I'm gonna say the Jerk because

1188
01:03:55.280 --> 01:03:55.800
it's just.

1189
01:03:55.960 --> 01:03:58.519
It's so good. Oh my god, how do you?

1190
01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:02.119
I mean, how do you think about Steve Martin? And

1191
01:04:02.159 --> 01:04:05.559
don't you don't immediately see him in that stupid white

1192
01:04:06.079 --> 01:04:09.039
uniform of that hat. You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna

1193
01:04:09.079 --> 01:04:12.360
tell people, if you like Reiner's Summer Rental, check out

1194
01:04:12.360 --> 01:04:15.920
The Jerk. Definitely check out All of Me, and you

1195
01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:18.840
have to check out my all time favorite Carl Reiner film,

1196
01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:22.039
which is Summer School. Yeah, we did, Like I said,

1197
01:04:22.039 --> 01:04:24.920
it his best, it is, it's absolutely his best. That's

1198
01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:28.800
it's it's it's his best. Uh amber We we recommend

1199
01:04:28.800 --> 01:04:29.920
seeing Some are rental though, right.

1200
01:04:30.599 --> 01:04:32.400
Oh absolutely for sure. I even.

1201
01:04:34.159 --> 01:04:36.400
It's all it's not streaming anywhere, but you can rent

1202
01:04:36.440 --> 01:04:39.440
it on Prime but it's renting for three ninety nine,

1203
01:04:39.519 --> 01:04:42.400
and you can buy it for four ninety nine. Or

1204
01:04:42.599 --> 01:04:46.719
I did not hesitate to buy a copy because it's second.

1205
01:04:47.119 --> 01:04:51.159
Or you can buy the Blu ray for like ten bucks.

1206
01:04:53.000 --> 01:04:56.960
It is, and it has an audio commentary with who

1207
01:04:57.639 --> 01:05:00.480
well no, no disrespect to the guy. It's one of those.

1208
01:05:00.559 --> 01:05:02.000

1210
01:05:04.760 --> 01:05:07.119
