1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.040
When we're talking about summer movies, because there's there's genres,

2
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.080
there's there's that genre that I don't think anyone talks

3
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:12.720
about the summer camp genre. I think I feel like

4
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.519
there's enough movies that you could have a subgenre for

5
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:18.199
for summer camp movies. I agree. If I if I

6
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:20.039
asked you, off the top of your head, what do

7
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.440
you have a go to summer camp movie?

8
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.120
Oh? Absolutely, I love meatballs.

9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.160
Okay, you don't even have to think about that.

10
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:30.640
Ye, straight for I've actually watched it three times this

11
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.679
summer already. A wow, Yes, love meatballs.

12
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:37.200
I love I love I love meatballs too. I know,

13
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.039
I know Scott and Dave did that. I think that

14
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.759
was the first season we did a film of forty five.

15
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:49.799
Maybe sounds right, It's it's great, I love meatballs. That

16
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.000
might I think when you say summer camp movie, that

17
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.840
probably is like the the godfather of them, you know, like,

18
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.159
that's agree, it's the go to you have to go.

19
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:03.039
You have to start with meatballs. I think, Yeah, I.

20
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:06.040
Let's say there's gonna be a horror movie, you know,

21
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.159
I it's hard not to say Friday the thirteenth, It

22
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.280
really it really mean is you also got Sleepway Camp.

23
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:14.079
I mean, there's just so it seems like a lot

24
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:16.000
of them end up being horror films instead of other

25
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:16.959
instead of comedies.

26
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.560
So well, i'll tell you because everyone expect me, I'm

27
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.920
expected to say Friday the thirteenth. Can I say Indian Summer?

28
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.599
Oh yeah, that's a good pick. That's a good one.

29
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.120
I mean we yeah, I mean we've covered Indian Summer,

30
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.400
We've covered we've covered meatballs, but we haven't covered Friday thirteenth,

31
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.760
and I hope we do someday. But yeah, well you

32
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.760
tell you what. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, very old.

33
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:41.760
Well I was with you on that, Yes, yes, you

34
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.480
and Dave. Yeah, Friday thirteenth and versus Nightmare on Elm Street,

35
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:45.719
wasn't it.

36
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:47.760
That's right? That was that was I think the first season.

37
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.239
Yeah, that was a I knew what I knew which

38
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.319
one I was picking, you know, So it's still a

39
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:54.000
not easy.

40
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.640
Choice, but no, it's not.

41
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.840
Yeah, good stuff. Well, i'll tell you what. On the

42
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.359
topic of summer camp movies, let's talk about a film

43
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:08.120
by David Wayne, his two thousand and one satirical camp

44
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:39.319

I really don't one thing you you've been doing. I've

80
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:25.720
seen on your YouTube channel where you're doing like this

81
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.759
versus thing where you're showing like a song that I

82
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.920
know and I love, but it turns out it's a

83
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.560
cover and I had no idea that someone else sung it,

84
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.480
you know, a long time ago, and I'm like what, Yeah,

85
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.000
so I have I've been enjoying the uh the episode

86
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:40.680
you guys do there.

87
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.040
Yeah, that was a surprise. The The Adobe Gray episode

88
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.000
for drift Away literally the week before we recorded. It's

89
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.040
when I figured out found out for the first time

90
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:50.759
that the Doobie Ray was not the first person to

91
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.360
do it.

92
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:56.519
Just like, what, Yeah, it's wild, It is absolutely wild.

93
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:58.680
Yeah, it's fun, it's it's a lot of fun.

94
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.600
Well, Dayton I and invited you over to talk about

95
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:06.959
Wet Hot American Summer, and it like, you know, you

96
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.879
haven't been you haven't been around this season. So we're

97
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:14.800
doing the the blockbusters, the well known movies of two

98
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.399
thousand and one and two thousand and six, and we

99
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:24.000
don't need any long drawn out descriptions or synopsis of it,

100
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.839
because you know, everyone knows what these movies are about.

101
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.240
Today's might be a bit of a stretch because it's

102
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.279
it's it's definitely a cult classic. It was not a

103
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.839
blockbuster by any sense of the imagination. But if I

104
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.800
asked you to tell us what wet Hot American Summer

105
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.399
is in exactly five words, what would you what would

106
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:45.439
you say?

107
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.560
This was actually very difficult. I as I've been listening

108
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.800
to this season every time you guys did this, I'm like,

109
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:54.879
you know, whatever the movie was, I'm like, what will

110
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.279
my five words be? And I struggled with it, and

111
00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.600
so when I when you pick me for this episode,

112
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.040
was like, oh crap, I do that five word synopsis thing.

113
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:06.920
So it's like okay, So I I changed mind like

114
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:10.079
at least four or five different times, and I settled

115
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.399
on something really simple. I tried not to get anything

116
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.800
from the title into the synopsis. So I went with

117
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.120
ridiculous Last Day at Camp.

118
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:26.399
Okay, well that is absolutely fittings. It is absolutely it

119
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.800
is the last day Camp and it is absolutely ridiculous.

120
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.399
It was, it was. It was tough for me. I

121
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:38.600
went with future Stars go to Camp. Yeah, because I

122
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:40.079
know we're going to talk a little bit about it,

123
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.480
but this is you know, when we get to it,

124
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.839
this is what you definitely have to call an all

125
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:46.519
star cast.

126
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:47.560
Yes.

127
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.480
The only thing was in two thousand and one they

128
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.120
were not an all star casts. No I think. I mean,

129
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.000
I mean we didn't know who most of them were.

130
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:56.839
Yeah.

131
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:02.240
Yeah, uh so I just want to jump into it

132
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.000
because this was the first time watch for you. Yes

133
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:11.000
it was, and I specifically I'm watching this movie and

134
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.000
when we decided that we're going to we're gonna cover this,

135
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.600
you're the It's not that you were the first person

136
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.959
I thought of for this to talk about wet, hot

137
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:24.120
American summer. You're the only person, and I'll tell you why. Okay,

138
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:29.000
So the opening credit sequence, it features a group of

139
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:35.800
horny teenagers and I used teenagers in quotations. Yes, So

140
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.680
they are partying. They're all partying, They're out of bonfire,

141
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.720
girls are dancing, Guys are playing acoustic guitars. People are drinking,

142
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:47.519
they're smoking, They're taking pictures with polaroid cameras, which I love.

143
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:54.160
And the whole time Jefferson Starships, Jane is blasting. Yes,

144
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.720
it's August eighteenth, nineteen eighty one, and it's the last

145
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:02.160
day at Campfirewood. This early in the film, because this

146
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:05.000
is the opening credit sequence, did you know are you

147
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:06.680
all in at this point? Are you hooked? Does it

148
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.319
have your attention or were you like, I'm gonna need

149
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:09.839
to see more.

150
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.519
I love the song choice I do great song. It

151
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.319
is a kind of a bittersweet thing for me because

152
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.279
I love that song. But my brain knows that this

153
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.000
kind of the end of Jefferson Starship because of you

154
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.759
know where they go in a few years, and we're

155
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:27.079
not going to talk about that song. But anyway, I

156
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.639
was digging it, and I was like, okay, I had

157
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.320
watched the trailer, so I knew it was gonna be silly,

158
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:38.240
and yeah I was. I was in because of absolute curiosity.

159
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.960
Okay, listeners, I'm gonna point out. I send it in

160
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.000
a message. I'm like, hey, wet hot American summer, are

161
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.679
you in and dating? Your response was like, I've never

162
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.919
seen it, so you know, yeah, count me in. I'll

163
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.759
check it out. And I thought, okay, this is gonna

164
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.840
go one of two ways. So I remember prefacing, I said, hey,

165
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:03.000
you need to understand before you watch a single frame

166
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.519
of this, this is maybe one of the dumbest movies

167
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.200
you'll ever watch. So just know that going in this

168
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.679
it's incredibly dumb. But man is it a fun time

169
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.519
So you know, and you're like, okay, I'll see what happens.

170
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:22.039
And I say that because this film is dead on

171
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.480
arrival at the box office. Yeah, and critics hated it,

172
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.879
but it's celebrating its twenty fifth anniversary this summer, and

173
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.159
it is a bona fide cult classic, so much so,

174
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:39.039
so much so it gets both a sequel and prequel

175
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:45.200
series on Netflix. So does I'll ask you this without

176
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:46.960
jumping right to the end and asking you what your

177
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.159
thought about the movie. Are you surprised by its popularity?

178
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.480
A little bit, yes, But I think what it comes

179
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:57.320
down to is, as we mentioned the cast, at the time,

180
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.000
there was only a couple of people that were established

181
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.960
as either comedians or actors or whatever that were recognizable.

182
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.720
And since then, over the ten years or you know what,

183
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:10.399
twenty five years now, that so many of those people

184
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.200
are huge names now. And I think it's one of

185
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.519
those things that people go, oh, they were in that movie,

186
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.840
and they go check it out. And yes, I'm all

187
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.360
for cult classics, and some I understand, some I don't.

188
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.639
This one I understand because of who's in it and

189
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.600
where these where the cast is going to go, youve

190
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.559
more the filmmakers eventually get to as well, so it

191
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.639
makes sense. But and it's one of those that when

192
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:36.960
I mentioned it to people, I know, uh, it's it

193
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.000
is that reaction that either man, that was terrible, or

194
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:42.600
it's so good, or it's so bad it's good, you

195
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:43.039
know what I mean.

196
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.600
It's as someone says, oh, what do you You're like,

197
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.039
I'm watching a movie. We what are you watching them?

198
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:51.279
Wet Hot American Summer. I think you're gonna get someone

199
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:56.279
gough really, or you're gonna get someone go right, you know, yep,

200
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.120
I think that's the it's there's there is no middle

201
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:03.039
ground for this movie. I'll tell you. Let's take it.

202
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.519
Let's take a quick break when we get back. I

203
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.519
don't know where we start with this cast. I don't

204
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.200
know if we can talk about everyone in the cast,

205
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.799
but well, we got we gotta mention this this group

206
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.080
because this is it's an amazing group to have together.

207
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:20.679
We'll be right back. Welcome back. Dayton Johnson from the

208
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.000
Docking Bay seventy seven podcast is with us here today.

209
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.399
We are talking about the twenty fifth anniversary of Wet

210
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:33.440
Hot American Summer. Dayton, it's an all star cast, I

211
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.960
think at this point, if I'm being fair, because like

212
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.360
we said in two thousand and one, we don't know

213
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.600
who most, if not any of these people are, with

214
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:46.360
exception to maybe two names. Jennye Grofelo. She plays Beth.

215
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:51.440
She's the camp director. I just like her and everything.

216
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.399
I don't think I've seen a bad performance by Janine Garoffelow. Now.

217
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.879
Actually, one of my favorites is the Truth about Cats

218
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.879
and Dogs. I think, really, yeah, I really enjoyed her

219
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.240
in that one because I was familiar with her stand

220
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.559
up before I really saw her as an actress. And

221
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:11.799
so yeah, you know, she's a big one in this one,

222
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.240
and she's one of the only few that were any

223
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:19.000
kind of established, I mean. And so what I'm gonna do,

224
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.120
and I'm gonna point out and you're gonna roll your

225
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.399
eyes at me because I'm gonna connect this movie to

226
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.360
Disney and and.

227
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:27.919
Of course you are, because.

228
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:30.840
I am shocked. Oh no, you're not. So here we go.

229
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.279
So we have, of course Gene Garofloya, who does a

230
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:38.759
voice in the Pixar film Ratatui and does a great

231
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.440
French accent. By the way, David Hype Pierce, who was

232
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.120
the other name you know, obviously people know it from

233
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.159
a Frayer, you know, big name. He was even into

234
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.159
Disney films. He was in Treasure Planet and he was

235
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:55.000
also in Pixars of Bugs Life. So so we got

236
00:12:55.000 --> 00:13:01.559
two there. Now. Kim Marino actually appeared, you know, hundreds

237
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:06.120
of times daily at Disney's Hollywood studios at the Rock

238
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:10.240
and Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith. He was the engineer inside

239
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.720
the screen that right there with Aerosmith and everybody else.

240
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.519
So he actually appeared on the screen for as long,

241
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.000
for as long as because there's a pre show and

242
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:19.399
you could see the guys in the band or whatever.

243
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:21.440
It's a whole setup, and he was there. He was

244
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.360
the sound engineer, and he doesn't have an he doesn't

245
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:25.000
say anything, but he's there on screen. He was there

246
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.159
for the entire run of that ride. So another Disney

247
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.919
connection as well as he actually does a voice in

248
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:36.320
the Toy story short U a Toy Story of Terror,

249
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.679
so he had those voices there as well. Now, going

250
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.279
back prior to this, you have Marguerite Moreau who was

251
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.799
in the Mighty Ducks movies. She was actually one of them.

252
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:49.279
I have no recollection of her.

253
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.039
Mighty Ducks, Yep, she was in that as well.

254
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.840
She's like, she is the smoke show in this movie.

255
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.240
Like jeez, they even her and Beth at that moment

256
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:03.039
you're you're considered hot, right you would be right? Yeah,

257
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:04.840
I guess you could say. So you know she's going

258
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:09.559
like fashion like beauty advice from uh from Moro's character Katie,

259
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.519
Uh wow, finding Ducks, Okay, I don't. I have no

260
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:15.559
recollection of her Mighty Ducks.

261
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.240
Well she didn't look like she does.

262
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:19.279
That's fair, that's fair.

263
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.919
And then uh so you have Amy Poehler, who had

264
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.799
just gotten a gig on SNL when this movie was made.

265
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.279
She goes on to do the Voice of Joy and

266
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:32.240
inside Out another Pixar film. So, and of course you

267
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:36.960
have the MCU as well with Paul Rudd and so

268
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.919
a lot of connections, a lot of connections, and it

269
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:42.080
was a big screen debut for Bradley Cooper.

270
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.919
Well, okay, you know, I will I will leave it

271
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.360
to only you could take a raunchy R rated comedy,

272
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:52.879
a sex comedy and that happens at Summer Camp and

273
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:57.559
then and then go all Disney with it. So congratulations

274
00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:02.360
on that. I'll tell you what they're they're clearly they're

275
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:04.080
having a good time on the set.

276
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:04.840
Yeah.

277
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.960
Yeah, Well on location at the at Camp Towanda where

278
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:12.440
it was filmed. Uh, Janine was quoted as saying it

279
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.159
was the best time I ever had doing a project.

280
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:19.320
And also the drunkest. I fell down a lot due

281
00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:23.600
to the wet terrain and the heavy drinking. And apparently

282
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:27.159
Dayton she she just stopped drinking completely when they when

283
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:28.279
they stopped shooting this movie.

284
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:32.799
So yeah, I saw that too. That's a lot of drinking, a.

285
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.679
Lot of drinking, but yes, it is. I couldn't I

286
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:39.200
couldn't imagine you get a cast like this together. I mean,

287
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.000
it doesn't matter that they're big stars or not, because

288
00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:45.200
they weren't at this point. But this many people, this

289
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.120
this kind of this kind of group together in closed

290
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:51.039
quarters for for several weeks, like that has to be

291
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:52.120
the best time ever.

292
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.519
There's actually a giant party. It was a giant party

293
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:55.399
for thirty some days.

294
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.200
There's a I'm gonna I'm gonna get it wrong, but uh,

295
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.759
I want to say the title. It's called Hurricane of Fun.

296
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.399
There's a documentary on the making of Wet Hot American

297
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:08.399
Summer on Netflix, like like I said, like I mentioned Netflix,

298
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.039
Netflix loves this film, you know they did. They did

299
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.679
not one, but two eight episode series on it. Uh,

300
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:17.720
and then they did a documentary with all this behind

301
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:20.799
the scenes stuff, which I haven't seen but I definitely

302
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:25.519
want to check out because I can only imagine. But yeah, uh,

303
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:28.039
you're you're tearing through the you kind of tore through

304
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.679
the cast there for a minute. You mentioned David Hyde Peers.

305
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.519
He is clearly he's the other he's the only other star.

306
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:37.919
I guess it's fair to say. You know, he's playing Henry,

307
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:44.080
the astrophysicist next door, who definitely has some issues.

308
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:48.200
Yeah I've said no, I know, which was just like

309
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.480
that caught me off card, like, wait, what happened? What

310
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.360
did I miss? I actually rewounded to go say did

311
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:54.360
I miss? So?

312
00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.559
Yeah, well, he's clearly he's like he's on sabbatical. He's

313
00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:59.279
had he's had some kind of breakdown and you.

314
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.600
Know, yeah, he's working through stuff for sure.

315
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:06.880
I gotta be honest, I'm surprised to see him in

316
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:11.680
this movie. I mean probably he's hilarious. Yes, it's a

317
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:16.599
fun character, and I love how innocent the romance is

318
00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:19.880
that blooms between him and Jenny Garoffalo. But it's just

319
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:21.319
a it's such a kooky character.

320
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.640
He's he's definitely the which one of these things is

321
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:26.240
not like the other when you look at the cast,

322
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:29.759
you know, and which is a testament to him because

323
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.319
he you know, when you're on Frasier, he had that

324
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.839
character he's playing, you know, that really uptight whatever, and

325
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.440
he's not quite as uptight in this, but he does

326
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:43.200
he's still he's still a nerd. He's still you know,

327
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.359
well read supposedly and things you know, like science, and

328
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:51.720
so seeing him on here and the interactions he has

329
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:55.480
with the Nian Garofflo's character, it was interesting, you know.

330
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:58.799
And uh, actually the we'll get to it later. He's

331
00:17:58.839 --> 00:17:59.960
actually in one of my scenes.

332
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:04.400
So okay, interesting. Yeah, I'm curious to see what, Seni

333
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:08.920
you're gonna pick. I I know, I know mine's gonna

334
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:13.079
surprise you because it's is it fair to say, would

335
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:15.440
you you know? Not that not to break the talk

336
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.039
about the cast, but this is kind of like a

337
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.640
collection of skits this movie. And I think that happens

338
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:24.119
with most satire films, right, like you know, you look

339
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:28.079
at like Police Academy or you know, yeah, you know,

340
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:31.519
Naked Gun or airplane. Like it's kind of like a

341
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.920
collection of goofy bits that they string together to make

342
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:36.279
a coherent story.

343
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:41.079
Well, with this one, the our writer directors came from

344
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:43.680
sketch comedy. I mean, that's you know. And then so

345
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:47.799
that's and I think in watching that, yes, and that's

346
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:49.759
how it felt to me as I'm watching the whole film,

347
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:52.559
is I'm like, Okay, these guys are trying to combine

348
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.680
an animal house and meatballs, and these guys are thirty

349
00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:59.559
minute you know TV show skit writers, you know, with

350
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.200
the state and stuff like that, and and yes, it

351
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:05.759
feels like they just put, hey, this is a great idea,

352
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:07.480
let's do this. Hey, this is a great idea. Let's

353
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.759
do this. And yeah, ultimately, really there's the only story

354
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:13.559
is that it's the last day of camp.

355
00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:14.440
It's the last day camp.

356
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.640
That is the story that that's the story. That's the pitch,

357
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:18.559
last day Camp.

358
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:22.160
So and what and we're gonna do a bunch of

359
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:24.720
funny goofy stuff and love it's gonna be dumb.

360
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.279
Well, there was I know one of the segments was

361
00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:31.319
based on something actually happened to believe it was Wayne

362
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.039
the It was a Victor Chimerino's character was driving.

363
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.960
Yeah, that whole.

364
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.640
Thing with him driving back to go make out with Abby,

365
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:46.400
that actually is supposedly happened to uh David, Wayne and

366
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:49.079
uh so he crashed the van, just like they happened

367
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:52.319
to the movie supposedly. I'm still not sure how Victor

368
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.000
crashed the van. I'm not sure. We've just got distracted

369
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:56.119
and just forget where he was going.

370
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.440
Yeah, but I mean, nothing runs out in the middle

371
00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:01.960
of the road. He's not. He doesn't hits He just

372
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:07.079
inexplicably hits a tree head on. I'm totally driving back

373
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.759
for Abby like well but yeah, she's yeah, I get it.

374
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:13.359
All you need is a pack of juicy fruit dating

375
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:18.799
and you're in, you know, fantastic. So you mentioned Bradley Cooper.

376
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:24.559
This is his feature film debut, and let that sink

377
00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:27.359
in for a second, because he's Bradley Cooper. You know,

378
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:32.480
he is a prestigious actor. He's done everything from you know,

379
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:36.759
you mentioned he voices Rocket in the mc U, He's

380
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:42.200
done Oscar Fair, He's you know, they've just announced. I'm

381
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:43.799
still trying to wrap my head around this, but it

382
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:47.000
looks like he's going to be starring in Paramount's reboot

383
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:48.039
of g I Joe.

384
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:52.400
Yep. So I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that.

385
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.680
Okay, So I'm just for all my now, you know

386
00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:59.440
Joe fans out there. I'm gonna say this real quick

387
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:02.599
of the fact that Bradley Cooper is attached to it

388
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:06.519
because he brings some gravitas to it, to the project. Agreed,

389
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:11.880
But unless he's playing General Hawk or someone of that caliber,

390
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:15.559
because let's be honest, he's fifty one years old, you know,

391
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:17.440
so if you're gonna tell me he's going to play

392
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:23.039
you know, Sergeant Duke, you know, or Flint, come.

393
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:25.039
On, Apparently the story is supposed to focus on Duke.

394
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:26.440
We'll see, we'll see.

395
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:28.880
Yeah, I don't know. I know, I know they're going

396
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:32.240
like a serious, like realistic like they're wanting to go

397
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:36.559
with like Larry Hama's comic. Right, So we'll see. But anyways,

398
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:43.119
but anyways, Bradley Cooper, were you surprised by his character? No?

399
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:46.880
And would wouldn't Would Bradley Cooper? Would Bradley Cooper take

400
00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:48.240
a role like this now? Do you think?

401
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.839
Yes? Honestly, I've seen him. He's been in a lot

402
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.319
of things. Obviously the Hangover, one of My Wife and

403
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:58.960
I is Guilty, pleasure movies, comfort movies, his failure to

404
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:02.279
launch where you know, with them it's fun. Yeah, absolutely,

405
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:06.319
And so I don't I think at this point his

406
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:08.640
career he'll just do whatever the hell he wants. Yeah,

407
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:12.559
you know, And honestly, the moment he came on screen,

408
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:13.799
I was like his character's gay.

409
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:19.000
Well you look at him and you're like, he's you know,

410
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:21.839
he's got that popped collar on, that eyesod shirt and

411
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:25.319
he's he's getting the productive the Talent Show ready, he's

412
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:28.960
the producer of the Talent Show. And you're like, maybe,

413
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.640
but no, maybe to it. You know. A couple couple

414
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:37.519
of minutes later, I I, this cracks me up. I

415
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:39.680
don't know when he said this, but it wasn't you know,

416
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:42.759
it wasn't recent, but it wasn't too long ago. Someone

417
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:46.920
was asking him about his favorite on screen kiss or

418
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:51.480
his favorite co star to kiss. Right now, you think

419
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.960
about all the romantic comedies he's done, you think about

420
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:59.240
all the dramas he's done. I I smile at the

421
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:03.640
idea that he he says Michael Ian Black. Yep, his

422
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:08.720
co star went on American Summer he ranks Michael Ian

423
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:12.559
Black as as the best on screen kisser. That cracks

424
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:13.559
me up, dude.

425
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:15.839
And yeah, I know. I honestly, I think it was

426
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:20.279
a TV interview and it was live with Oh it's

427
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:22.279
not Regis and Kathy anymore. I don't even know at

428
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:24.119
this point, but I think it was one of those

429
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:28.400
morning talk shows. Yeah, it's definitely it's not what you expect.

430
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:32.720
You know, you figure maybe Lady Gaga maybe maybody.

431
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:37.680
I mean, like I said, he was honest. He was honest,

432
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:40.960
and that's the thing is I mean, yeah, the scene

433
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:46.440
plays for laughs, but it's also not like, uh I

434
00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:48.480
buy it, Like I kind of feel like these two

435
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:50.880
guys are in love, you know, and are passionate for

436
00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:51.319
each other.

437
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:53.839
It was definitely a more genuine kiss than Paul Read

438
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:54.680
and Elizabeth Banks.

439
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:01.440
Okay, So what I love about Paul Rudd in this

440
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:04.960
in this movie because he's my favorite character by far, and.

441
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:05.759
He's the worst.

442
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:11.680
He's the worst, but he's so cool, dude. They're leading heavy,

443
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:18.160
heavily into the eighties sex comedy yeah vibe, and so

444
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.160
everything he does is so animated, including the kiss where

445
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:25.480
it just it's over the top. I mean he goes

446
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:30.680
full face hugger at at Margaret Moreau, at had Elizabeth Banks.

447
00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:34.599
But what makes it funny is he's supposed to be

448
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:37.160
playing a sixteen year old seventeen year old. You know,

449
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:39.240
they're teenagers, you know.

450
00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:40.799
Quote unquote.

451
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:42.599
It has like that. I think they're kind of poking

452
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.759
front of grease a little bit too. Yeah, but they're

453
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:50.000
all playing teenagers. They're all camp counselors and you think

454
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:51.799
it back to like when you're sixteen and you're making

455
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:54.400
out with your girlfriend and you didn't really know what

456
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:58.039
you're doing just yet, so you kind of you kind

457
00:24:58.039 --> 00:24:59.400
of looked like Paul Rudd.

458
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:02.400
To an ext I think, you know, yeah, yeah, I

459
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:04.839
just thought it was super dark that he kept letting

460
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:07.000
people drown. And then you know anyway that saw he

461
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:10.440
was dropped him off on the road camp.

462
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:14.160
There's a so apparently there's a there's a there's a

463
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.440
there's a scene. So you know, because he he does

464
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:22.880
due to negligence, he does kind of let a few

465
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:27.200
uh camp kids. He lets one drown. I can't remember

466
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:28.000
what happened to the other one.

467
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:29.960
I know he's one kid that steals a boat.

468
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:31.960
One kid steals a boat. Yeah, that's the kid that

469
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:34.559
drowns because he's like, he's like, hell, I'm drowning. He's

470
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:36.880
like you're fine, and he's like making that with Elizabeth Banks.

471
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.240
And then I think the other kid, Uh, wasn't he

472
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:42.559
water skiing and then he wasn't paying attention. Yes, and

473
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:45.920
yes he drowns. And every time, but there's always a

474
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:49.079
kid like he's it doubles because every time one of

475
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:52.079
these kids gets killed. Another kid goes, hey, I can't

476
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:55.319
find my swim buddy, or hey, uh is it what's happening?

477
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:57.799
And then we see that that scene where they're driving him,

478
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:00.559
driving him off the road, the kid out of the van. Yep,

479
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:02.839
I know, I guess, I guess it was a scene

480
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:05.680
where he does he intentionally murders one of them to

481
00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:09.160
get rid of the evidence. And David Wayne's father was like,

482
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:13.200
that's too much cut. Yeah, that's you can't you can't

483
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:16.400
have these kids. You can't have these these characters murdering

484
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:22.079
innocent kids. So but I love I love Andy. I

485
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:24.160
guess I'll guess. I'll ask you know, because it's I

486
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:28.039
don't know where you're gonna go with this answer. This

487
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:32.480
cast yes of characters, of characters, I should say, who who?

488
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:34.359
Who speaks to you? Who do you relate to? Is

489
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:36.720
there is there a character where you're like, that's me,

490
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:39.119
that's the guy that I am at this camp.

491
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:43.359
Honestly, it was Coop. Coop is actually Coper character well

492
00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:47.480
because he's well, because he's the guy that you know,

493
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:50.079
he doesn't cause trouble, you know, he has a crush,

494
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:52.960
you know, and he's trying to do he's trying. He's

495
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:53.599
the nice guy.

496
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:55.279
He's the good guy, right.

497
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.759
Yeah, he's the nice guy that gets shipped on basically.

498
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:01.799
So yes he does even at the end.

499
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:04.720
Man, it's yeah, and and I you know, I was

500
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:05.480
that teenager.

501
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:11.119
Yeah, so you know, oh that's that's hilarious. Yeah, because

502
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:13.880
I was thinking, like, you know, I figured you'd say Coop,

503
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:18.960
but then I saw like the the raunchier side of Dayton.

504
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:23.079
I saw like maybe maybe JJ you know, like the

505
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:26.279
dedicated buddy who's there for you. But then you know,

506
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:29.039
he'll he'll he'll he'll participate in the high jinks, but

507
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:31.599
he's not going to be that involved in the highjinks.

508
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:33.960
Uh. Maybe.

509
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:40.279
Look, I'm sorry to say, but Andy and Vic, like

510
00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:42.720
those two guys speak to me the most. I think.

511
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:44.920
I'm not saying I want to be I'm not saying

512
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:48.720
I was Andy because I wasn't. But I was.

513
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:50.039
But you wish you were.

514
00:27:50.599 --> 00:27:52.359
Well, it's not that I well, it's not that I

515
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:54.200
wish I was. I was. I was a hint of Andy,

516
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:56.599
and I was like and I was a hint of Vic.

517
00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:01.720
And I'm not ashamed by that. You know, I'll own it, Dayton.

518
00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:04.200
I'll just I'll just say, are you sure you're not

519
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:05.000
a little bit ashamed?

520
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:08.920
I mean they're terrible, they are, well, they're douchebags, but

521
00:28:09.559 --> 00:28:14.240
you know, at least I know who I am. That's all.

522
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:18.279
I just I just love this. I think this might

523
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:21.000
be my favorite Paul Rudd character. Honestly, I know he's

524
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:25.279
done some incredible stuff, but it's the over acting. Like think,

525
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:26.880
I just let me take you to a scene real

526
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.720
quick where he is finishing his lunch and he just

527
00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:34.480
violently just slammed, you know, swipes the table clean in

528
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:36.759
front of Jinean and Garofolo and his plate, food and all,

529
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:39.839
and she's like, you're picked that up? And he goes

530
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:43.759
he's like and he's acting like it's the worst thing ever.

531
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.519
And you know, you're a father, Dayton, so think about

532
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:50.440
the time you've told your child you know you're gonna

533
00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:51.799
clean that up, You're gonna do this, and they act

534
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:54.559
like it's just absolute torture, and you're killing them by

535
00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:59.480
making them do this tiny, tiny little thing. How animated

536
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:01.160
he is, how how much he overdoes it.

537
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:03.880
The funny thing is, I remember having friends when I

538
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.799
was a teenager that acted just like that, Like click

539
00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:12.759
that up. Really, Yeah, it's your freaking masks. Clean it up.

540
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:15.240
He picks up the plate and he he has to rest.

541
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:21.160
Come on, you know, it's it's just it's fantastic. Yeah.

542
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.480
Michael Showalter as Coop, I think he was. He one

543
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:30.160
of the guys from the State, Yes, the Sketch comedy show. Yeah,

544
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:33.119
he's He's hilarious in this movie. I mean, we could

545
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:38.279
be here all night talking about this cast. Uh, Christopher Maloney, it.

546
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:40.640
Was so weird, so weird as the cook.

547
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:44.720
So this is their this is where they're trying to

548
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:50.039
do a Bill Murray caddyshack thing. I think ranged screwball guy.

549
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:51.799
That's he's not all there.

550
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:55.480
Yeah, it for me, it was it was a bit

551
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:59.359
too much, especially the talking can of being of vegetables.

552
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:03.359
You know, I'm just like so and that's so that

553
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:07.440
was what with me. That kept There's just there's too

554
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:10.960
many times where you know, they're like trying a little

555
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:13.319
bit too hard to be funny and it just comes

556
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:16.880
off more like, you know, really in a little bit

557
00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:19.720
you know, and this is where this is where I

558
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:21.920
feel like it's more like, you know, it's one thing

559
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:24.640
to watch a five minute skit of people acting like this.

560
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.440
It's another thing to watch a ninety minute film of

561
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:31.519
people acting like this. It it gets a little bit like, Okay,

562
00:30:31.640 --> 00:30:33.240
we get the joke. Okay, we get that.

563
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:35.799
Well, so it's like it's like, so this is the

564
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:38.519
guy that's that's here to make the rest of them

565
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:44.279
look normal. Okay, truthfully, what I think he's he's at

566
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:47.440
his best when he's when he's sharing screen time with

567
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:51.920
with Gary eighty miles character Okay, right, assistant. I love

568
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:54.400
where he's like he's talking at him and like he

569
00:30:54.440 --> 00:30:58.119
can't see Gary's face and Gary's like, you know, mimicking him.

570
00:30:58.200 --> 00:30:59.119
Yeah. I liked him.

571
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:01.359
Actually, it was the best party.

572
00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:02.400
He was the best part of that.

573
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:05.079
I'm watching this and I'm like, where do I know

574
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:07.119
this guy from? And then at dawns on me he's

575
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:09.079
he's a David Wayne guy because he's in He's in

576
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:14.039
Role Models, Yeah, with Paul Rudd. So he's fantastic in it.

577
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:16.200
Who am I forgetting? Is there any before we move on?

578
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:18.000
Is there anyone that you want to talk about that?

579
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:21.440
Well, oh, there's Molly Shannon of course.

580
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:26.759
How we I'm totally forgetting. And then you're like, wait,

581
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:29.359
now you there's there's been a couple of people are like,

582
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:31.880
that's who I really had a problem with. I have

583
00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:34.039
to believe that you've got a big problem with Molly Shannon,

584
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:35.480
at least at the end of this movie.

585
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:40.480
Actually, the funny thing is at well spoiler no, actually

586
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:42.039
I have two scenes and one of them is a

587
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:44.640
scene with her because and we'll get to that in

588
00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:48.480
a minute. But I'm not a huge fan of hers. Anyway,

589
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:51.119
She's one of those actresses that in small doses and

590
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:54.880
in the right part, she's really good. And the funny

591
00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:58.039
thing is in this film, with all the other things

592
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:01.480
going on, she was actually relatively tame bike by comparison

593
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:05.640
to the other people, so she didn't bother me. I

594
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:08.039
actually kind of I felt for her, you know, with

595
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:10.799
ther ex the whole ex husband thing was just like

596
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:11.920
it was weird.

597
00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:16.079
But she's that tore up over Judah Friedlander. By the way,

598
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:21.440
Well you know that's that's ross.

599
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:25.000
Okay, you love who you love. But uh yes, yeah,

600
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:29.400
but no we forgot uh was uh Joe uh low

601
00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:34.480
uh trigger Yeah yeah, Brooklyn nine to nine and he's

602
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:37.160
in role models. He's uh he was actually on the

603
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:38.240
state as well.

604
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:41.359
Yeah, uh, I think it was Neil. I think it

605
00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:44.440
is who he played. Yes, that's right, he's vixed buddy,

606
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.839
who you know is out trying to say the kids

607
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:50.559
and take that he's got.

608
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:54.599
Yes, that whole chasing on the motorcycle trying to run

609
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:56.680
and that was just I'm like, what am I? What?

610
00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:57.400
What am I watching?

611
00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:01.039
That's again there's I warned you, buddy. I was like,

612
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:02.200
it's kind of due.

613
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:03.319
You are because you weren't wrong.

614
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:06.400
There's the scenes that are like, I think what it is?

615
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.039
Is it if they just would have cut it a

616
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:09.680
little bit earlier, you know.

617
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:11.799
Yeah, there's a lot of scenes that just went on

618
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:14.960
too long. They might have been funny in the first

619
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:16.880
twenty seconds, but then it's like a minute and a

620
00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:18.960
half later you're kind of like, okay, it's the same joke.

621
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.720
Yeah. Ways, Wayne's milking some of these these bits for

622
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:27.039
a little little too much. But yeah, Joel Trivia Truglio,

623
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:30.200
Yeah he's always funny. Yeah he was. He was a

624
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:31.599
big guy on the State I remember.

625
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:34.759
Yeah, Yeah, that's yeah. That's actually where I saw a

626
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:36.519
lot of these guys for the first time. Was on

627
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:40.960
that on that show and so and then, and you

628
00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:42.440
can tell because they worked with a lot of the

629
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:43.960
same people over and over and over again. If you

630
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.519
look through their filmography, they they pop up and all

631
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:51.359
their stuff. And one thing about me, and with Showalter especially,

632
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:53.960
he's used a lot of the same people over and

633
00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:57.079
over again. But he's actually developed into a very good filmmaker,

634
00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:00.559
you know, like I think he's actually own way more

635
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:03.240
than David Wayne has. I'm just gonna.

636
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:07.319
Okay, now I can I can't. I can't say you're wrong.

637
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:10.159
I really can't. I mean, I like them both, but yeah, yeah,

638
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:12.920
you're onto something there. Yeah, I'll tell you what. Let's

639
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:15.559
take a quick break and then we'll come back. We'll

640
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:17.199
talk a little bit about the background. There's not a

641
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:20.000
whole lot that you can you know, a movie like

642
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:22.159
this is not gonna have a I mean well, I

643
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:23.519
mean I take it back. You know, Netflix made a

644
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:26.840
whole documentary about it. But when we come back, we'll

645
00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:28.440
we'll we'll talk, we'll talk a little bit about it.

646
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:34.880
Welcome back. Okay. So Dayton, I think you mentioned when

647
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:38.599
we started UH Films. It's basically it's based off David

648
00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:44.480
Wayne's experiences going going to camp wise in Cleveland, Ohio.

649
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:48.280
How about that? Uh, this guy he's I must say

650
00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:50.880
he's a local guy even though he's not. You know, well,

651
00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:52.440
we'll claim him because it's Ohio Dayton.

652
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:54.320
Yeah, was it.

653
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:55.880
I think he. I think he grows up near our

654
00:34:55.880 --> 00:35:00.239
buddy Andrew Blakeley and shake her heights. Yeah. Yeah. But

655
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:06.280
his time at Camp Wise in Cleveland, Camp Moden in Maine,

656
00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:10.280
and then Camp Mohawk in Massachusetts. He did a lot

657
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:12.400
of the summer camp stuff growing up.

658
00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:14.719
And hey, is that the same Mohawk camp for Meatballs.

659
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:17.079
I'm just saying it might be.

660
00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:21.039
I don't know. You know, we we've mentioned some of

661
00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:25.079
the other summer summer camp comedies. His goal with this

662
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:28.039
movie was to parody and in some cases show tribute

663
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:36.039
to Meatballs sleep Away Camp, Indian Summer and I'm scratching

664
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:40.119
my head here. Nashville, I don't. I don't get how Nashville.

665
00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:41.719
Have you see Nashville in this at all?

666
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:43.280
Uh?

667
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:49.559
No, No, I don't either. But so it takes three

668
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:53.559
years to raise financing for the film. David Wayne revealed

669
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:57.800
that when they were promoting the film at Sundance, they

670
00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:00.480
were promoting it as having a five million dollar budget,

671
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:06.440
which it didn't even have near that they're doing that

672
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:09.679
just to up the the up the bidding. To this day,

673
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:15.960
Paul Rudd, it's pretty sure he's never been paid. Not

674
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:19.360
that Paul Rudd's needing, it's he's you know, he's not

675
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:21.760
going hungry. But I love the fact that, you know,

676
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:24.880
because you know, they this is a shoe string budget

677
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:27.719
if there ever was one. And again, none of these

678
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:30.400
people are really I figure the money is going to

679
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:33.559
to Pierce and to g is where the money's got

680
00:36:33.559 --> 00:36:33.880
to be going.

681
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:36.400
I think I went to the Skylab, you know, uh,

682
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:39.880
because it's not that not the same size, but it

683
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:42.960
was a pretty big size prop for this budget.

684
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:45.679
Not a yeah, not a bad not a bad one.

685
00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:51.559
So they shoot this on location at Camp Towanda. Uh.

686
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:53.880
They were led to believe that he was filming a

687
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:58.719
family comedy like Ernest Goes to Camp. Needless to say,

688
00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:00.480
they were a little upset when the when the film

689
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:01.440
comes out and they see it.

690
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:03.880
Yeah, yeah, I can imagine.

691
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:07.519
I yeah I could. I could see why they'd be

692
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:09.920
a little upset. It's nothing like Owness goes to Camp.

693
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:15.519
We look, I'm not I'm not going to miss this opportunity. Uh.

694
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:19.159
This film boasts what I would call a pretty damn

695
00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:24.880
good soundtrack full of eighties hits greats like Jefferson, Starship

696
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:29.000
Lover Boy. I think Rick Springfield's in there. Yeah, you

697
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:31.800
know kiss Dayton. Can can you give us a little

698
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:37.320
bit of your take on this the lineup for this soundtrack, Uh, I.

699
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:39.880
Mean, it's definitely solid. It's you know, and I'm always

700
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:46.400
a fan of good soundtracks anyway, especially when it's you know, IP,

701
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:49.079
when it's existing music and where they use it, and

702
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:51.960
they open and close the film with Jane, which is

703
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:53.280
a pretty good choice.

704
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:53.920
Uh.

705
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:57.159
The instrumental version of Beth from Kiss It threw me off.

706
00:37:57.199 --> 00:37:59.239
I kept waiting for the for Peters to start singing.

707
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:03.400
I'm like, wait, that threw me off, my But yeah,

708
00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:07.960
it's it does fallow in the category of a film

709
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:09.800
where the soundtrack is better than the movie.

710
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:14.559
But yeah, yeah, well, considering who's on the soundtrack, I

711
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:15.599
can't argue that.

712
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:19.519
Yeah, even I mean, and when it's a good time frame,

713
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:22.280
I mean those are all I mean. Beth was a

714
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:24.079
little early because that was from seventy seven, but at

715
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:27.920
the same time, the songs they chose definitely makes sense

716
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:30.599
with the eightieth Summer of eighty one.

717
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:34.440
Yeah, some are ready one. Yeah Beth. Yeah, I remember

718
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.840
David Wayne. So he's got this thing where a lot

719
00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:40.880
of his female characters are named Beth. And if you remember,

720
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:44.800
Beth played like a little bit of a significant role

721
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:45.880
in Role Models.

722
00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:47.039
Yeah, he's right.

723
00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:50.079
Better than that. There's a character named Beth in It

724
00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:52.440
turns out his sister is named Beth. So it's like,

725
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:56.159
a yeah, he shows tribute to his sister by naming

726
00:38:56.239 --> 00:39:00.400
characters after. I love the fact that Coop gets woke up,

727
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:02.719
because even when you don't hear a kick ass song,

728
00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:06.199
you you, there's characters that are helping you out. I

729
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:09.719
love that the kids in a bunk three or whatever

730
00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:12.920
it is, they wake up by singing Jukebox Hero. Yes,

731
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:17.000
he's like, okay, stop. I was like, that's how you

732
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:18.840
that's what these kids kick ass? Man.

733
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:20.840
I was gonna say, I never did. I never do

734
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:23.960
kids that age, but sing that song to somebody.

735
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:30.000
And a yeah, that's these kids are great, absolutely, Dayton.

736
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:32.880
I want to talk about a scene. I know, I

737
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:35.519
know you got a scene. Uh So here's the thing.

738
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:38.320
Before we talk about the scene that you've you've got

739
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:41.119
in mine, I want to know what, why are we

740
00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:43.599
talking about it? Is it? Is it for a strong performance?

741
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:47.559
And I I hear the irony in my voice, Uh

742
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:50.440
when I say strong performance based on this movie? But

743
00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:52.639
are you did you? Are you picking this scene because

744
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:55.559
it's got a strong performance? Is it because of the direction?

745
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:58.920
Is it is a great cinematography? Is it the pivotal

746
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:03.280
moment or you know a fun category that we can't

747
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:05.599
get away from? Uh? Did it pissed Amber Lewis? Off?

748
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:09.159
What's scene? Why are we talking about the scene that

749
00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:10.119
you're talking about?

750
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:12.480
So honestly, I think what it comes down to is

751
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:18.000
it's actually a series of scenes, and it's because it

752
00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:21.119
made me like the character more. And it's David Heights

753
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:24.039
Pierce's character who when we first meet him, you're like, okay,

754
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:27.519
he's yelling at poor Jeannine garoffalo what's going on? But

755
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:32.159
when he walks into the mess hall and starts looking

756
00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:34.679
around and eventually he's trying to find and he goes,

757
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:37.559
where are the indoor kids? And they're like, oh, over there.

758
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:40.239
You know, he's like where are the kids? That he's

759
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:43.360
struggling because yes, he's a sweet guy, because he doesn't

760
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:45.320
want to say where are the geeks? You know, where

761
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:49.000
the nerdy kids right where the the indoor kids and

762
00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:50.599
they immediately yeah.

763
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:52.760
Everybody knows what they're talking about. Yeah, And and so

764
00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:57.800
I actually liked the scenes with the indoor kids, you know,

765
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:01.119
because you have a you have a variety of kids there,

766
00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:04.079
you know, in that little group, and they're all doing

767
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:08.159
experiments and whatever, and as ridiculous as this movie is,

768
00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:11.920
it's you know, it still kind of shows that we

769
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:17.719
need smart people. And you know, and I always applaud

770
00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:22.159
when films celebrate smart people because we don't get that

771
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:26.519
a lot. And they prevent the skylab from crashing down

772
00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:28.239
on they do not the camp.

773
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:32.440
So, you know, the indoor kids save the day. Really, Yes,

774
00:41:33.199 --> 00:41:36.360
I like the fact. I mean clearly the leader, the

775
00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:39.880
head kid of the indoor kids, I think he's grown

776
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:42.079
up and going to Adams College with with Lewis and

777
00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:45.599
Gilbert because he's got the confidence. He goes straight up

778
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:47.800
to the table with all the pretty little twelve year

779
00:41:47.800 --> 00:41:50.239
old girls and he's like, lighties, we've got a D

780
00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:56.199
and D campaign going on, and he's got his cape on.

781
00:41:56.360 --> 00:41:58.559
He's like, anyone wants to join the game. I was like,

782
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:01.679
hats off to that dude. He's yeah, he knows who

783
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:04.440
he is, and he's he's he's, he's going for it.

784
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:06.519
Yeah, that was that was the kiss of death in

785
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:08.519
nineteen eighty one. Talking to girls about D and D.

786
00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:10.719
It was just it was never gonna happen.

787
00:42:11.159 --> 00:42:12.840
It's kind of nice, like the indoor kid Like there's

788
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:14.599
there's a couple of girls in the group and they're

789
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:17.440
they're all like into science, and yeah, that's a fun scene,

790
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:20.199
and I think it gives a movie a little bit

791
00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:22.480
of something that the rest of the movie doesn't have.

792
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:24.079
Like you said, you need a couple, you need some

793
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:27.920
smart people in here, and ye, as ridiculous as the

794
00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:31.239
subplot is of them saving the day, it's it's still

795
00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:33.880
kind of fun to see then, you know, and then

796
00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:36.159
they get some representation and that they're not just you know,

797
00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:39.599
they're not picked on, they're not you know right right, Yeah,

798
00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:43.400
it's kind of nice. I'm gonna I'm gonna choose my

799
00:42:43.440 --> 00:42:47.719
scene based on the fact that, uh, I don't know

800
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:49.840
if she's seen it, but I'm going with it. Pissed

801
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:54.440
Amber Lewis off. I have to believe, you know, I

802
00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:57.639
have to believe that if Amber sees this movie, she's

803
00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:00.679
probably getting pissed at this scene and and Dayton I'm

804
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:04.719
talking about. Look, I love a good montage, but the

805
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:06.400
montage of going into town.

806
00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:10.559
Oh that is like the worst scene in the whole movie.

807
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:14.800
Yeah again, I totally get this film is mostly a

808
00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:19.639
collection of vignettes strung together, but it's just the dumbest

809
00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:24.119
and most misplaced scene, you know. And it starts off like, hey,

810
00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:28.199
you know, you know, you know Beth, you know, Jeanine Garofflow.

811
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:30.360
She's like, Hey, I want to I want to impress

812
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:31.960
David Hyde Pierce. I want to get a book at

813
00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:34.679
the library on after physics. And then all the kids,

814
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:36.360
you know, she rolls up at her pickup truck and

815
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:38.360
all the all the counselors are oh, we're going into

816
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:41.079
town and they jump in the back and you're like, okay,

817
00:43:41.960 --> 00:43:44.760
this could have been a fun scene them getting into

818
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:50.199
sea against around town. Uh they're in like what is Waterville, Massachusetts?

819
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:54.159
I think, yeah, but we don't get that. We know,

820
00:43:55.119 --> 00:43:57.400
we get we get we get them beating up an

821
00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:00.880
elderly woman to rob her, and not just like I'm

822
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:04.000
not talking about like Vic or you know, Andy, I'm

823
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:07.119
talking like Janine Garofalo is in on it like they're

824
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:10.280
they're beating up an elderly woman. They're they're getting strung

825
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:12.599
out on heroin inside of a trap house, and they're all,

826
00:44:14.119 --> 00:44:16.840
what are we doing here? I don't understand it at all.

827
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:21.119
It's so out of character for the movie. It just

828
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:23.639
doesn't belong. I don't know what they're thinking. I looked.

829
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:26.960
I looked for this because I wanted the scene. It

830
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:28.760
bothered me so much. I was like, I need answers.

831
00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:31.800
Yeah, why, I agree? I agree?

832
00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:35.239
Nothing I could find anything, you know, I just I

833
00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:37.679
want to know, like, why why did we get this scene?

834
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:38.000
You know?

835
00:44:38.199 --> 00:44:41.159
I think somebody probably on set, you know, after shooting,

836
00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:43.360
was they were drinking there, Like wouldn't it be funnyf

837
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:44.639
we went in to town to do all this stuff

838
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:45.599
and that's how it happened?

839
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:47.760
It maybe? Yeah, because I.

840
00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:49.599
Can't imagine they sat down and wrote that.

841
00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:53.400
It's either that or it's like, uh, hey, we're like

842
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:55.440
it's like eighty eight minutes. We got to at least

843
00:44:55.440 --> 00:44:58.679
break the ninety minute mark. Can we can we just

844
00:44:58.679 --> 00:45:02.280
do something real quick? Okay, let's just shoot up, you know.

845
00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:05.559
Let's yeah, it makes those sense, It makes those.

846
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:08.360
They could have done anything they could have done them,

847
00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:13.400
you know, graffiting a monument. They could have done anything,

848
00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:16.199
you know that they should have. You know, they could

849
00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:19.679
have showed that they're getting in trouble, but realistically, and

850
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:22.920
I I hate that I'm using the word realistic, well

851
00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:25.599
right like this, but I don't know, it just didn't fit.

852
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:29.000
It really didn't. I don't know any other scene. Look,

853
00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:31.400
I know, I definitely don't. We wanted to talk about

854
00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:35.840
a scene, but since this is like a series of moments,

855
00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:37.800
is there something that stood out here that we should

856
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:38.440
talk about?

857
00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:41.519
So you kind of brought it up earlier and with

858
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:46.400
Molly Shannon, but I actually kind of enjoyed the segments

859
00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:49.840
with her and her craft class, like they were there

860
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:53.000
like supporting her and like, you know, it's it's okay,

861
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:56.880
you know, because as ridiculous it is, and sometimes you

862
00:45:56.920 --> 00:45:58.920
need people to talk to and it might be twelve

863
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:03.280
year old kids but whatever. And even at the end,

864
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:08.360
you know, because apparently the little boy it was Aaron

865
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:13.360
was supposed to actually kiss Smally Shannon. That yeah, I know,

866
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:16.000
and so they just they blocked it differently and he

867
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:18.760
just like tucks her hair behind her ear and apparently,

868
00:46:18.840 --> 00:46:22.280
like years later, people actually talk to that that actor

869
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:24.400
and say, you know what, that's one of their favorite scenes.

870
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:26.519
One of their favorite moments is him being really sweet

871
00:46:26.519 --> 00:46:29.519
to her. You know. Now, the idea that they're gonna get,

872
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:32.079
you know, go off together is just ridiculous and stupid.

873
00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:34.119
And that's where it ends for it being any kind

874
00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:36.960
of yay. It's like they had they took a great

875
00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:38.880
idea and then they just pissed all over it. But

876
00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:42.519
before that it's fine. It's just where it goes.

877
00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:46.119
It's funny in the beginning because he you know, she

878
00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:48.559
breaks down, she starts crying from these kids at arts

879
00:46:48.559 --> 00:46:52.719
and Crafts, and then he jumps up and gets behind her,

880
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:55.960
starts massaging her shoulders. He's like, hey, Roy is who

881
00:46:56.039 --> 00:46:59.119
he is? You know he's getting that right, like sound advice.

882
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:02.400
Look look at me. It's just just say, you know,

883
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:06.360
like he's you know, they're having like a Fulger's choice moment,

884
00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:10.920
and it's borderline. It's borderline. She makes it borderline creepy

885
00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:13.159
but also funny because she's like, oh, your hands are magic,

886
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:16.000
and I'm like, he's twelve, what.

887
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:18.320
Do you do He's wiser than his years.

888
00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:23.760
Come on, now, I guess oh man, Dayton. Let's run

889
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:29.679
the numbers on this one ninety two minutes. It premiered

890
00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:32.840
at the two thousand and one Sundance Film Festival on

891
00:47:32.960 --> 00:47:36.280
January twenty third, two thousand and one. It's sold out

892
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:41.559
all four screenings. What yeah now? And look at first,

893
00:47:41.639 --> 00:47:43.760
I kind of scoffed, as like four, it only got four?

894
00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:46.440
Four screens. I had I looked this up because I

895
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:50.079
want to be fair. The average amount of screenings that

896
00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:53.159
a movie gets at Sundance Film Festival is four to six.

897
00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:56.719
So it sold out all four of its screening, So

898
00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:00.239
hats off to David Wayne in the group. But despite that,

899
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:03.559
it failed to attract a distributor. And it was several

900
00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:07.360
months later when USA Films bought it for the lo

901
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:09.800
low sum of one hundred thousand dollars.

902
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:10.840
Wow.

903
00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:15.199
And this was a hey, we don't need you to

904
00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:17.880
do any pickups, we don't need you for promotion. We'll

905
00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:19.760
just take it off your hands for one hundred thousand,

906
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:24.679
and they went for it. Yeah. From there, it had

907
00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:29.000
a limited theatrical release in a handful of cities. I'll

908
00:48:29.039 --> 00:48:31.679
be honest, I saw this one. This was a I

909
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:34.280
think the first time I saw it was on cable,

910
00:48:34.320 --> 00:48:37.599
maybe HBO or something like that, and it was just people.

911
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:39.599
One of my buddies was like, oh, this movie is

912
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:45.480
so stupid, you got to check it out. I was like, okay, yeah, sure,

913
00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:46.599
is that all?

914
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:47.199
Though?

915
00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:50.000
Well, it's kind of like how I sold it to

916
00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:52.440
you because I didn't see it when it first came out.

917
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:55.840
I saw it after the fact. Now again, you know,

918
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:57.800
it was probably ten years ago when I first saw it,

919
00:48:58.320 --> 00:49:00.159
but at that point a lot of this cat had

920
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:02.800
already become big names. So I was like, what, right,

921
00:49:03.199 --> 00:49:05.119
how did all these people get in the same movie?

922
00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:07.920
And I don't know what it is? So dur uh.

923
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:11.480
You know. We talked about Jennying Rofflow talking about how

924
00:49:11.480 --> 00:49:13.800
she fell a lot because she was drunk, and plus

925
00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:17.599
it was the wet terrain during production. It rained twenty

926
00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:18.840
three out of twenty.

927
00:49:18.639 --> 00:49:21.559
Eight days, which is crazy, which.

928
00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:23.559
Is you wouldn't you'd never know it there are well yeah,

929
00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:26.599
because there's no rain scenes. Yeah, there's no rarain scenes.

930
00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:31.400
It's sunny, they're they're in their bathing suits. I did

931
00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:32.960
pick up on the fact it had to be cold

932
00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:35.079
when when they were shooting this, because you can see

933
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:38.440
their breath. Yes, time you shouldn't be you shouldn't be

934
00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:41.159
seeing their breath, which, again another dumb scene. Can we

935
00:49:41.199 --> 00:49:47.320
talk real quick? You know, Coop takes Katie to his

936
00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:50.239
place to hang out and think, oh, right by barn,

937
00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:54.199
that's cold. He's like, ah, you that was. She's like,

938
00:49:54.199 --> 00:49:56.440
you want my hoodie? He's like yeah, and then she's like,

939
00:49:56.480 --> 00:49:58.239
well now I'm cold. He's like, you want my flannel? Yeah?

940
00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:00.599
I really like that Flanne. You're gonna have to give

941
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:02.360
it back? Yeah, right now?

942
00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:03.480
Like why are they doing this?

943
00:50:04.239 --> 00:50:06.719
Why are they doing this? That was like where we're

944
00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:10.880
going satire, I think, But uh again, they sold this

945
00:50:11.400 --> 00:50:14.840
for a one hundred thousand dollars. Keep in mind it made

946
00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:17.840
they The budget was one point eight million, that is

947
00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:23.400
what they it took to make this movie. But it

948
00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:27.920
did finish its box office run with two hundred ninety

949
00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:30.119
five thousand dollars.

950
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:33.920
I was gonna say, there's no way they made their

951
00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:34.360
money back.

952
00:50:34.440 --> 00:50:36.159
No, they're not. They're not making their money. But I

953
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:37.960
would think they've made their money back at this point

954
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:41.320
with DVDs and Blu rays, and you.

955
00:50:41.280 --> 00:50:43.320
Know, I have to think so by now, Yeah you

956
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:43.679
think so.

957
00:50:44.639 --> 00:50:50.119
Don't listeners, don't let this uh suaye Joe thirty nine

958
00:50:50.159 --> 00:50:54.199
percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with an IMBD score of

959
00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:57.840
six point five out of ten. And if you're curious,

960
00:50:57.960 --> 00:51:00.320
Roger Ebert he was. He was a bit of a

961
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:02.519
horn dog like he he happened to like like the

962
00:51:02.599 --> 00:51:06.599
sex comedies did not in this case. He gives it

963
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:09.440
one star out of four. But date and I'll tell

964
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:13.440
you something, Uh, if one even one of these girls

965
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:16.519
had taken their tops off, I bet you Roger gives

966
00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:19.960
it two maybe three stars. He's up, he's up in

967
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:27.199
his annie. I think you think so maybe yeah, Well, yeah,

968
00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:29.039
it's funny because it's it's it's a definitely an R

969
00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:33.039
rated comedy, and it's a sex comedy. I camp and

970
00:51:33.119 --> 00:51:34.320
there's no nudity.

971
00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:36.559
No, and there's not really any sex either.

972
00:51:36.840 --> 00:51:39.400
I mean there's not really any an they're making out,

973
00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:41.760
but you know, so hats off, the hats off, the

974
00:51:41.760 --> 00:51:45.239
wing he he he picks a genre and doesn't do

975
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:46.840
what you're supposed to do just for the sake of

976
00:51:46.880 --> 00:51:51.960
doing it right. Because again, Elizabeth Banks and you know,

977
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:55.360
none of these none of these actresses were stars at

978
00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:59.360
this point, right, you know, I dig i dig I

979
00:51:59.360 --> 00:52:02.519
dig that David went took the high road there. All right, Well,

980
00:52:02.599 --> 00:52:05.719
let's uh, let's wrap things up, Dayton, because uh, I

981
00:52:05.719 --> 00:52:07.800
got I got an idea of where you might land

982
00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:10.440
on this one. But before we do that, I want

983
00:52:10.440 --> 00:52:12.199
to talk about David Wayne one last time.

984
00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:12.880
All right.

985
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:19.119
Now, if someone watches Wet Hot American Summer and they say, hey,

986
00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:22.280
what else has this guy got? I'm kind of curious,

987
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:25.679
and I get it. I know he's done some big

988
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:28.719
budget stuff, but is there any underrated stuff like this

989
00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:32.400
that I don't know about? Dayton? What underrated project would

990
00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:35.679
you suggest someone check out for David Wayne, Whether it's

991
00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:39.320
something he was he directed, something he wrote, maybe something

992
00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:42.000
he was in because he this guy's got a long

993
00:52:42.079 --> 00:52:44.920
filmography of Yeah, of all three, what do you got

994
00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:45.519
for us?

995
00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:49.400
So this was difficult because there's a lot of stuff

996
00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:52.800
he's done that I haven't seen. And so I did

997
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:55.480
pick a film that I you know, I've seen and

998
00:52:55.639 --> 00:52:58.639
actually did enjoy and with quite a cast as well.

999
00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:04.079
And this one from twenty twelve. It's a Wanderlust with

1000
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:07.559
Jennifer Aniston. Paul read, Yeah, I mean when Ackerman now

1001
00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:10.320
an Alda is in it. Catherine's Katherine Hahn and of

1002
00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:13.119
course Can Marino shows up in it as well. Uh,

1003
00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:15.320
it was. It was fun, you know, it was. It

1004
00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:20.079
was better than this, you know, showing growth. So but yeah,

1005
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:22.119
it was, it was. It was better than I expected,

1006
00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:22.920
let's put it that way.

1007
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:23.440
So, yeah, that was.

1008
00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:27.519
It's pretty good. It's along this okay, similar humor, kind

1009
00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:30.679
of Uh you know, you got Jennifer Aniston in there

1010
00:53:31.840 --> 00:53:34.920
trying to grow her career at that point, and uh, yeah,

1011
00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:36.039
it's fun. It's fine.

1012
00:53:36.039 --> 00:53:39.119
I've okay, I've I've actually I've never seen it, so okay,

1013
00:53:39.760 --> 00:53:41.920
I'll check it out based on your recommendation.

1014
00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:49.360
Yeah, it's pretty good. It's it's a little bit more controlled, okay, right,

1015
00:53:49.400 --> 00:53:50.679
oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

1016
00:53:50.519 --> 00:53:55.000
Yeah, I got something. You're probably gonna scratch your head

1017
00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:56.320
on this one. I don't I don't know if you've

1018
00:53:56.320 --> 00:53:58.679
seen it, I definitely you might not even heard of it.

1019
00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:02.920
But if you're a fan of Adult Swim, okay, okay,

1020
00:54:03.800 --> 00:54:08.559
did you ever see Children's Hospital with Rob Cowdrey.

1021
00:54:08.599 --> 00:54:10.960
I'm familiar with it. I might have watched like an

1022
00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:12.719
episode or two, but that was about it.

1023
00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:17.800
Yeah. It's so this is something that that he he

1024
00:54:17.880 --> 00:54:21.519
kind of created very well, there's a lot of people

1025
00:54:21.559 --> 00:54:23.280
from what hot American summer Like, yeah, like you said,

1026
00:54:23.280 --> 00:54:25.760
this guy likes to keep his his friends close and

1027
00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:28.719
keep him working. I think it did like three seasons.

1028
00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:36.880
It's it's a it's a hopital, it's a hospital drama. Sure,

1029
00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:41.760
you know it's twisted to say the very least. Yeah,

1030
00:54:41.760 --> 00:54:44.599
but I think it's one of those things like listeners.

1031
00:54:44.599 --> 00:54:46.079
If you if you don't know what it is, I'll

1032
00:54:46.119 --> 00:54:49.000
just tell you this, Uh, go on YouTube and if

1033
00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:53.000
you're not checking out the Documents seventy seven channel or

1034
00:54:53.039 --> 00:54:55.239
the film Boy channel, just do a search for for

1035
00:54:55.360 --> 00:54:59.480
Children's Hospital. Just watch the trailer and you're either gonna

1036
00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:03.760
be like nope, or you're gonna you're like, like Dayton

1037
00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:06.039
had curiosity for this movie. Yes, you'll have curiosity for

1038
00:55:06.119 --> 00:55:08.719
Children's Hospital. It's it's yes, it's a little it's it's weird,

1039
00:55:08.760 --> 00:55:13.679
but it's I would say dark, dark humor basically. Yeah, yeah,

1040
00:55:14.039 --> 00:55:18.280
all right, Dayton. It's a wet, hot American summer. It's

1041
00:55:18.320 --> 00:55:20.400
a it's streaming. I think it's streaming on Peacock right now.

1042
00:55:20.440 --> 00:55:25.039
It's obviously on Netflix. There's a few others. I recommend

1043
00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:29.760
the uh, the DVD or the Blue ray. I you

1044
00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:31.480
know the blue rays out now, but I'm I'm not

1045
00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:34.840
gonna read buy it. But DVD it's actually got uh

1046
00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:37.559
it's got a good commentary track with David Wayne and

1047
00:55:37.639 --> 00:55:41.000
Janine Garoffalo. It's got some deleted scenes, It's got some

1048
00:55:41.000 --> 00:55:43.599
fun stuff. You'll probably buy it on Amazon af for

1049
00:55:43.639 --> 00:55:48.079
like six bucks, I'm guessing, but uh, it's it's if

1050
00:55:48.079 --> 00:55:51.559
you like dumb, you know, I'm gonna ask you, like,

1051
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:53.119
what do you what do you? What do you think?

1052
00:55:53.159 --> 00:55:56.039
Are you? Are you gonna recommend this to anybody?

1053
00:55:56.880 --> 00:55:59.840
So Okay, Honestly, the only reason I would recommend it

1054
00:55:59.880 --> 00:56:03.239
to anybody would be because everybody that's in it if

1055
00:56:03.320 --> 00:56:05.400
you want to see it, because it is a who's

1056
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:07.599
who before they were famous, you know, there's a lot

1057
00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:09.440
of people in it, and if you want to get

1058
00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:12.360
it's always I think it's fun going back after you've

1059
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:14.880
seen an actor, like say, you know you really love

1060
00:56:14.920 --> 00:56:16.760
Bradley Cooper, go back and see that, you know, here's

1061
00:56:16.760 --> 00:56:19.119
his feature film debut. You know, things like that. So

1062
00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:21.840
if you want to kind of see where a lot

1063
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:25.320
of these careers began, you know, that's that's the reason

1064
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:28.639
to watch it. Uh it's you know, I watched it

1065
00:56:28.719 --> 00:56:34.159
once and I will probably never watch it again. So hey,

1066
00:56:34.719 --> 00:56:37.760
but I will say that it's an important film because

1067
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:39.599
of the people that are in it.

1068
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:40.360
Yep.

1069
00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:44.320
And it is important film because the filmmakers. It's kind

1070
00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:46.719
of where they started with feature film because the most

1071
00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:49.199
stuff they were doing before this was TV. Yeah, and

1072
00:56:49.679 --> 00:56:53.400
we now Wayne has a new film, Gail Daughtry and

1073
00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:56.000
the Celebrity Sex Pass that actually looks fun.

1074
00:56:56.199 --> 00:56:59.039
That looks really John Haynes, I think, yes.

1075
00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:02.880
John Hamm is actually so. Zoe Deutsch is the lead

1076
00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:05.519
and she has to go have sex with John ham

1077
00:57:05.519 --> 00:57:09.199
because her husband actually had sex with celebrities. So that's

1078
00:57:09.199 --> 00:57:11.079
the whole story. It looks funny a lot of people.

1079
00:57:11.400 --> 00:57:15.320
Ken Marino actually was co writer, so there's that. And

1080
00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:18.639
then with a show Walter Hoop, of course we mentioned

1081
00:57:18.679 --> 00:57:21.360
places Coop and it was a co writer. His film

1082
00:57:21.400 --> 00:57:25.480
The Big Sick was really really good, okay, with Zoe

1083
00:57:25.639 --> 00:57:29.239
Xan and Holly Hunter, Ray Romano, I mean, some big

1084
00:57:29.360 --> 00:57:31.559
names in there. And he also wrote and directed Hello

1085
00:57:31.639 --> 00:57:33.159
my Name is Doris with Sally Field.

1086
00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:34.719
I did not know that.

1087
00:57:35.119 --> 00:57:40.559
Yeah, it's actually so it's important to see where filmmakers

1088
00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:42.960
and actors start and see where they get to. And

1089
00:57:43.039 --> 00:57:44.960
I think that's a reason to watch it if you

1090
00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:47.320
want to kind of see how this stuff began.

1091
00:57:48.119 --> 00:57:50.719
Yeah, I think a movie like this has to walk,

1092
00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:55.280
so some big things have can run. Yes, truly, yeah,

1093
00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:58.119
and I would. I'm gonna agree with you. Like I

1094
00:57:58.119 --> 00:57:59.599
I own a copy of it because someone was like,

1095
00:57:59.679 --> 00:58:02.480
just get it and I was like, you know, fine,

1096
00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:07.960
I'll spend ten bucks whatever. But it's for the performances.

1097
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:10.400
Like like I said, I love Paul Rudd in this movie.

1098
00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:14.239
I love how ridiculous his character is. But it's cool

1099
00:58:14.280 --> 00:58:17.960
to see Bradley Cooper before he's Bradley Cooper. We don't

1100
00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:20.840
really talk a lot about her, but Amy Poehler, who

1101
00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:23.639
like you mentioned, is about the joint Saturday Night Live

1102
00:58:23.920 --> 00:58:27.719
right before this movie. She is just off the charts

1103
00:58:27.920 --> 00:58:31.800
in this movie, you know, and like, you know me,

1104
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:36.360
that's that's what it is. It's you like, if you're

1105
00:58:36.440 --> 00:58:38.559
me and you know her as Leslie note from Parks

1106
00:58:38.559 --> 00:58:42.360
and rec where you can't imagine her being cruel to anybody,

1107
00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:48.360
watch this movie where she's she's just a witch these

1108
00:58:48.440 --> 00:58:52.280
kids and it plays for laughs obviously, but it's it's

1109
00:58:52.400 --> 00:58:56.000
it's it's cool to see where these guys got their start. Yeah,

1110
00:58:56.039 --> 00:58:58.159
and it wasn't too long ago. This is two thousand

1111
00:58:58.159 --> 00:59:00.480
and one. It's celebrated. It's it's a twenty fifth anniversary

1112
00:59:00.639 --> 00:59:05.559
this year. If you have Netflix again, you can check

1113
00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:09.679
out the eight episode sequel series Wet Hot American Summer

1114
00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:14.159
Ten years Later, as well as the eight episode prequel

1115
00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:18.719
series Wet Hot American Summer, First Day of Camp and Dating.

1116
00:59:18.760 --> 00:59:20.239
I know you haven't seen either one of these, but

1117
00:59:20.280 --> 00:59:25.320
surprisingly both series bring back this all star cast from

1118
00:59:25.360 --> 00:59:28.840
the movie each time, you know, and then there's several

1119
00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:33.480
new characters, some high profile actors like Alyssa Milano, Kristin Wiggs,

1120
00:59:33.519 --> 00:59:38.960
Jason Schwartzman, Chris Pine shows up, and then Adam Scott.

1121
00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:46.239
He's playing the Ben role that Bradley Cooper is in. Like,

1122
00:59:46.280 --> 00:59:47.920
so he's in I can't. I think he's in the

1123
00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:51.639
prequel series is where he plays Ben. But a lot

1124
00:59:51.679 --> 00:59:54.159
of fun stuff. It's it's pretty cool, So check them

1125
00:59:54.199 --> 01:00:00.800
out next time on a film. Buy My Arm is uh,

1126
01:00:01.639 --> 01:00:05.719
it's just now healing from the twisting it received from

1127
01:00:06.400 --> 01:00:09.880
our very own Amber and Angela. They reminded me that

1128
01:00:11.440 --> 01:00:15.400
it is, in fact the anniversary of Legally Blonde, and

1129
01:00:15.480 --> 01:00:17.559
I made the mistake of saying I've never saw it

1130
01:00:17.840 --> 01:00:20.239
because they both questioned me the date and they're like, hey,

1131
01:00:20.239 --> 01:00:21.880
we're looking at the schedule and we don't see legally

1132
01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:26.840
Blond anywhere. I was like, yep, boy, did I get

1133
01:00:26.840 --> 01:00:30.519
it talking to So they're coming back from vacation a

1134
01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:34.079
little bit early because they want to talk about Legally

1135
01:00:34.079 --> 01:00:36.440
Blonde and they want to hear what I have to

1136
01:00:36.440 --> 01:00:37.800
say about it. So I'm gonna check it. I'm gonna

1137
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:39.760
check it out. It could you know, I have to

1138
01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:42.559
believe it's you know, well, I like it.

You know, you see that's in the theater actually when

a copy of them, wife and I probably watch it

1142
01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:53.840
every couple of years. So yeah, I enjoy it.

1143
01:00:53.960 --> 01:00:57.000
I mean it's you have to take it.

1144
01:00:56.920 --> 01:01:00.920
For what it is. Yeah, Sequels, I like the sequel

1145
01:01:00.920 --> 01:01:01.320
is stupid.

1146
01:01:02.239 --> 01:01:04.760
It was got a like a new Amazon and they're

1148
01:01:04.880 --> 01:01:08.599
Pre Yes, there's a series called L. Yeah, it's called L. Yeah,

1149
01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:11.559
And okay, that's fine. You know, I'm not interested in

1150
01:01:11.559 --> 01:01:14.960

1151
01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:19.559

01:01:22.599 --> 01:01:24.559
And he's and he's he's charming in it. I like

1154
01:01:24.639 --> 01:01:27.519
him a lot. It's funny and you and it starts

1155
01:01:27.519 --> 01:01:31.960
off silly, and her character is definitely over the top,

1156
01:01:32.039 --> 01:01:36.360
but at the same time, there is intelligence in there.

1157
01:01:36.519 --> 01:01:38.960
You know, she's not just another dumb blonde.

1158
01:01:39.440 --> 01:01:43.039

It's important though. Okay, well, thank you. I'll tell you

1177
01:02:43.679 --> 01:02:46.599
what I've been. I've been digging something I didn't mention.

1178
01:02:46.719 --> 01:02:47.800
I know we were talking about some of the things

1179
01:02:47.800 --> 01:02:49.480
you're doing on docum Base seventy seven at the top

1180
01:02:49.480 --> 01:02:52.639
of the hour. Uh you're doing this, uh this like

1181
01:02:52.760 --> 01:02:56.639
Limited nineteen seventy seven. Yes, yes, I've been digging that.

1182
01:02:56.639 --> 01:02:57.960
That's been. That's been some good stuff.

1183
01:02:59.760 --> 01:03:02.639
It's been a lot of fun. The idea over the

1184
01:03:02.679 --> 01:03:05.719
next two seasons we're going to discuss at least one album,

1185
01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:08.079
one one film from that year, kind of going back

1186
01:03:08.119 --> 01:03:12.239
and forth. And as of right now, consistently the music

1187
01:03:12.280 --> 01:03:14.559
has been better than the movies we've chosen. And part

1188
01:03:14.559 --> 01:03:16.800
of that is on me, because I one that chose everything.

1189
01:03:17.000 --> 01:03:21.119
But when you look at that year, you know, you

1190
01:03:21.199 --> 01:03:22.719
pick out the ones, Oh I know that movie, I

1191
01:03:22.760 --> 01:03:25.880
know that movie or whatever, and and so it's going

1192
01:03:25.920 --> 01:03:27.679
to get better from film wise. I mean, we did

1193
01:03:27.719 --> 01:03:29.599
Smoking the Bandit, which of course every knows. We just

1194
01:03:29.599 --> 01:03:33.119
did any Call, Yeah, we had, and then we've done

1195
01:03:33.679 --> 01:03:36.760
h Sin after Sin from Judas Priest. We're getting ready

1196
01:03:36.800 --> 01:03:39.679
to record Out of the Blue from Elo. So there's

1197
01:03:39.719 --> 01:03:41.800
a lot of really good music that year and a

1198
01:03:41.800 --> 01:03:44.920
lot of big films. In fact, we're gonna do I'm

1199
01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:47.719

Johnson talks about whatever he likes. I think that's what

1211
01:04:16.880 --> 01:04:18.639
the original tagline of it.

1212
01:04:18.800 --> 01:04:21.440
That was the originally Yes, now it's friendly nerds discussing
