1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:08.240
Can two genres, specifically superhero and comedy? Can these mesh

2
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:15.560
together successfully? And if so, I gotta hear your example.

3
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.679
Oh, Guardians of the Galaxy, no doubt, would you.

4
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:20.879
You'd call Guardians? What you would call that a comedy?

5
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.079
Yeah? No, I mean I get that it's not meant

6
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:25.960
to be, yeah.

7
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.160
A comedy, but they had a lot of really good

8
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:29.359
I don't know.

9
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:33.200
Comedia actions, yeah, and that to help it.

10
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.280
So I mean up there, But let me ask this.

11
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.679
Let's go back in time. You're going into Blockbuster, yes,

12
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:43.240
and you're like, I heard this, Guardians of the Galaxy

13
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.679
is a great movie. Are you walking to the comedy

14
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:53.600
section or are you walking to the superhero action even

15
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:54.399
the sci fi section?

16
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.280
Right? Okay, all right, maybe Deadpool?

17
00:00:58.240 --> 00:00:59.799
Yes, I thought about that.

18
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.000
I almost feel like you could go to this. Yes, Okay,

19
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:10.120
well yeah, I think today's choice is going to argue against.

20
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.799
So let's let's talk about a film by Ivan Rightman

21

Because you know, this is one of those tell me

86
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.519
about your parents moments. We need a movie, we need,

87
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:19.839
we need the Ivan Wrightman parent movie. Apparently, his mother,

88
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:28.199
Clara was a prisoner at Auschwitz and his father Ladislav,

89
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.519
was an underground resistance fighter against the Nazis.

90
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:38.839
Yeah. Yeah, that's that's awesome. Yeah, no, kudos to them.

91
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.399
I mean think about that. You're going like, uh, you know,

92
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.120
you go to school, you know, one, what's your dad do?

00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:51.839
He's a resistance fighter against pretty substantial Top that.

94
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:53.600
Top that, and.

95
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:57.439
Also speaking of you know, superheroes, that definitely is both

96
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.519
of them superhero material for both.

97
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.199
Of mother and father both real life superheroes as far

98
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:08.480
as I'm concerned, definitely. When asked for some filmmaking advice, uh,

99
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.279
you know, his son Jason was asking for some advice

100
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.040
on how to make how to make a film. I

101
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.800
Evan said, quote, your job is not to make things funny.

102
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.360
Your job is to tell the truth.

103
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.839
So Angela, before we we we go more too, Ivan rightman?

104
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:27.800
Or this movie.

105
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.399
I'm gonna set the stage because you know this was

106
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.600
the first time watched for you. No it it wasn't

107
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:34.480
oh okay.

108
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.319
No, no, I actually yeah it's saw this in the.

109
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.160
Theater when it came out with my mom and I

110
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:40.279
was disappointed then.

111
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:47.160
Too, okay, so okay, So yeah, I remember seeing it

112
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.040
when it first came out, and I just I just,

113
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:50.920
for the life of me, I remember thinking, oh, yeah,

114
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.079
I remember Uma Thurman. She's a little, a little unhinged

115
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.199
when she gets dumped and she's a superhero.

116
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:57.079
But yeah, it's.

117
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:01.279
Probably it's probably Ivan rightman. Yeah, it's gotta be great.

118
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.079
I was looking at her chat because you had been

119
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.560
kind of quiet, and I'm like, well, has she watched

120
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:06.199
the movie yet?

121
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:12.160
What was she thinking? And you're only uh, your only

122
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:18.759
message last week? O MG, this movie is so dumb.

123
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:21.759
I think I threw an o L in there.

124
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:23.959
But yes, oh yeah, yeah, well yeah.

125
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.199
No, I was taking a lot of really good, good

126
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:28.560
notes and coming up like with this stuff on the

127
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.480
floor of just my own comment. I should have just

128
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.199
recorded myself while I was watching this movie, and then

129
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.560
that could have been like an extra, like little bonus

130
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.800
in addition to this, because I'm just like, oh my god, this.

131
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:41.480
Movie is Okay.

132
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.519
It is, but okay, so I think we have to

133
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.319
we have to talk a little bit about I like

134
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:49.439
when we're talking about Ivan.

135
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.800
Rightman, there is a majority of his Okay. So that's

136
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:53.959
what I want to That's what I want to do.

137
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:54.639
That's what I want to do.

138
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.279
It's I'm talking about the comedic rise and fall of

139
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.519
of this amazing director because I think it's very very

140
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.439
fair to say, from nineteen seventy nine to nineteen ninety three.

141
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:12.439
He is on a hot streak. Okay, I know he didn't. Well, no,

142
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:17.519
he did. We'll get to that. But just as a director, yes,

143
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:18.959
all right, I'm gonna give you.

144
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.519
I'm gonna give you his his seventy nine to ninety three,

145
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:27.720
and I challenge you to tell me where the bad

146
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:35.000
film is. Okay, meat Balls, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Legal Eagles, Twins,

147
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:41.120
Ghostbusters to Kindergarten Cop and Dave. Yes, that is an

148
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:46.360
impressive line of films. I mean every one of those.

149
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:51.120
I owe them, I love them. They're hilarious. There is

150
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.279
not a bad one in that bunch. But it's it's

151
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:59.480
nineteen ninety four where I kind of feel he's cooling off. Okay,

152
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.799
so listen, listen to the ninety four here, all right,

153
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.200
because this is where I'm like, well, what happened nineteen

154
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:11.759
ninety four? All the recipe the recipes there, We're gonna

155
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.840
get Arnold Swartzenegger and Danny de Vito back together. And

156
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.759
what if Arnold anyway, we know Arnold can be funny,

157
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.480
so let's make him pregnant.

158
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:24.679
Yeah, Junior Company with Emma Thompson and I love her,

159
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:25.960
but yeah, oh god.

160
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:33.120
Yeah, just just not a good thing. He follows that up. Okay,

161
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:34.759
you know what, I'm just gonna I'm gonna run the

162
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.320
list and now I challenge it. Tell me like, you know,

163
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.559
and please if I'm wrong, you say, well, hold on,

164
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.840
this movie was great. Now we've got Jude after Junior,

165
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:45.759
We've got Father's Day six.

166
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:46.840
She didn't say that one?

167
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:48.399
Yeah, okay, you didn't miss anything.

00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.759
Yeah, yeah, not not good.

172
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:59.320
Uh six Days, Seven nights, Garrison Ford should should be good.

173
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.480
No Evolution, that actually was.

174
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.679
I'm not saying it.

175
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.679
Was great, but I liked the the quirkiness of it

176
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.799
and kind of like the shout out to like nineteen

177
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:12.960
fifties type of aliens.

178
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:14.559
It had, It had its moments.

179
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.440
It's definitely not by far his great best work, but

180
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:18.399
I'd say at.

181
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.759
Least watch it once. This one means so much.

182
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.480
Ranked this high, like the fans have spoke, ranked us

183
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:24.759
high as a six point one.

184
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:25.080
Out of ten.

185
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:26.399
Yeah, I mean.

186
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:29.960
After that, he's got my super After that he's got

187
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:32.919
my super ex girlfriend, which we're talking about. And then

188
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.480
following my super ex girlfriend, he has no strings attached

189
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.039
in twenty eleven and then I.

190
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.080
Didn't watch that. Even though I like Nelli Pormanashan creature.

191
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.759
Bugs me, So I didn't watch that one. It was

192
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:44.320
not good.

193
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.159
Yeah, No, if you want to watch something like, yeah, yeah,

194
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:48.639
there's other Yeah.

195
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:54.879
Thankfully though, thankfully his final film twenty fourteen, he does.

196
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.679
He does Draft Day, which I will I will argue

197
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:00.759
with anybody is an awesome movie.

198
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:04.360
Yeah, I'm not a big sports fan, but I did

199
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:05.639
enjoy I did watch that one.

200
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.840
I didn't Angela, Angela.

201
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.320
I have been playing fantasy football for a couple of

202
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.480
decades now, I've won my fair share of titles. I

203
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:18.279
love fantasy football. When this movie came out, it became

204
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.559
part of my routine. You know, fantasy football players are

205
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:26.000
a superstitious lot. I will not do a draft until

206
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.360
I've watched Draft Day. Watched it the other day. We

207
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:33.360
had our first football draft this past weekend. Watched it,

208
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.919
loved it. I mean, I do every I do everything,

209
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.759
so I just you know, we're talking about how this

210
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:44.440
guy comes in white hot with stripes, which we've covered.

211
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:47.559
We did that, Dave and Scott covered that on It's

212
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:48.000
a good movie.

213
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.240
Yeah it is Bill Murray.

214
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.639
Yeah, and you know, again like we don't need to

215
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.000
go through the list again, but yeah, just some of

216
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.519
the some of the most funniest movies of the nineteen

217
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:05.320
eighties and nineties we have because of Ivan, rightman.

218
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:08.559
And it's like it's almost like this movie.

219
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.080
This is kind of well, not this movie. You know,

220
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:13.720
he's cooling off when he gets to this movie, and

221
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.440
then it's just like we're not, we're not getting it back.

222
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:17.120
Mm hmm.

223
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:18.399
Makes me a little sad.

224
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.720
Yeah, well, I'm glad his son is carrying the torch.

225
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.879
I think he's doing a great job with the Ghostbusters return.

226
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:26.679
That is, he is pretty cool.

227
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:28.840
Yes, I'm excited to see what Jason Rightman is going

228
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.679
to do outside the Ghostbusters universe because he is a

229
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:32.440
talented director.

230
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:34.399
I look forward to it.

231
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.440
I know that there were plenty of there's plenty of

232
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:40.399
people that have not seen My Super Ex Girlfriend. Yes,

233
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:42.639

234
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.320
haven't checked it out, you want to watch it. It's

235
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.600
actually streaming free on YouTube. I mean, if you want

236
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.600
to rent it, you can rent it, but you can

237
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.679
watch it free on YouTube right now. And I'm not

238
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:57.080
talking like someone uploaded their vhs. You know, they're not

239
00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:58.159
pointing a camera at their TV.

240
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.840
It's YouTube, you know, YouTube movies. You can watch it.

241
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.679
It's free. I think there's a couple ads, but nothing

242
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:04.320
nothing big.

243
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.360
My My my question to you, Angela, for those that

244
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:13.000
have not seen it, five words, exactly five words. Tell

245
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.559
me what my Super Ex Girlfriend is about.

246
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:18.559
Add a few, But I'm gonna go with this one.

247
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:21.279
Even though I do like my second one too, fatal

248
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.000
Attraction with superpowers.

249
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:28.240
You did not say that, that's why did you.

250
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:29.720
Say something similar?

251
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:33.559
Well? Okay, so mine.

252
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:35.320
In this movie.

253
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.480
I was like, yeah, mine, okay, So wait, you said

254
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:44.360
fatal attraction with superpowers. Yes, so you are using superpowers

255
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.840
as two words yes, which.

256
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:48.320
Which can be done.

257
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.679
I looked this up because it also superpowers can be

258
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:53.919
used as what it can be.

259
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.799
It's one word. Also, it's one of those weird words where.

260
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.440
It's yeah, it's kind of its kind of one of

261
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.759
those like it's your choice kind of a thing.

262
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:05.399
Gotcha. Okay, so.

263
00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:10.960
Your five words, no, well, don't apologize because yours is awesome.

264
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:14.080
You wrote fatal Attraction with superpowers.

265
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:23.080
My five words synopsis fatal attraction but with superpowers. You

266
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:28.159
and I are to Yes, speaking of fatal attraction. Uh

267
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:31.480
found a found a Rolling Stone review.

268
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:32.200
Yeah.

269
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:33.440
Quote.

270
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.519
If the script for this comic spin on Fatal Attraction

271
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:42.720
were only a tenth as hot as Uma Thurman, director

272
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:44.720
Ivan Rerightman might have had something here.

273
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:45.519
Mm hmm.

274
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:51.120
I gotta be honest like that. That's everything about this movie.

275
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:53.480
This is such We're gonna talk in a little bit,

276
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.200
We're gonna talk about where the premise comes from.

277
00:14:55.200 --> 00:15:00.360
But this is such an awesome premise. It just wasn't.

278
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:01.799
It just wasn't.

279
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:04.360
Uh, it could have gone several other ways that and

280
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:06.440
would have actually been funny.

281
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:11.720
Yeah, yeah, I see this. You know more. You want

282
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:12.960
to you want to, you want to just you want

283
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:14.840
to just do this. Let's just jump to it.

284
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:19.000
Yeakay, because I'm kind of getting into the the background

285
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:23.600
of it, but n gonna go ahead and do this now,

286
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.600
we got Okay, so you know you mentioned you mentioned

287
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:29.360
he you know, Ivan Wrightman didn't write this.

288
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:31.559
Sot this garbage.

289
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:38.120
Let's let well, okay, hold on easy, we gotta we

290
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:41.919
gotta talk about Don Payne. Okay, So if the name

291
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:45.159
is not familiar, he is a very talented was a

292
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:49.360
very talented television writer who worked on the Simpsons from

293
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:52.840
two thousand to twenty thirteen, responsible for some of the

294
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:55.879
really funny Treehouse of Horror episodes, did a lot of

295
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:56.440
great work.

296
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:56.960
On the Simpsons.

297
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.600
It was at his time at the During his time

298
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.600
at the Simpsons, he conceives the idea for a superhero

299
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:09.600
rom com. He writes a spec script titled super X,

300
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:13.840
which I'm gonna say right now, way better title super

301
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:14.799
X sounds way.

302
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.039
Cooler than yes, and it would tie in a little

303
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:19.720
bit with some of the other ideas and like that

304
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:21.879
that went in a certain direction.

305
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.120
It could have been funny. But yes, I agree, I

306
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:25.200
think yeah.

307
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:28.840
So this script gets people in the industry talking, it

308
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:33.279
gets it gets Ivan Wrightman's attention, and it is fast

309
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.000
tracked at twentieth Century Fox.

310
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:37.440
Did he bribe and pay well?

311
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:39.519
Okay, so again.

312
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:43.000
It's all about here, you know, you gotta you gotta

313
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:45.679
remember something he like doing. I did a little did

314
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:50.399
a little digging on mister Payne, very very talented television writer,

315
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:54.279
like when he when he when they lost him at

316
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.840
the on the Simpsons, they were crushed like this, like

317
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:04.160
he he he he passes away in twenty thirteen at

318
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.079
the very young age of forty eight. So this was

319
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:12.279
you know, it's very very difficult for everyone in the

320
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:16.039
television community, especially if you're among the Simpsons staff. But

321
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.000
he and he had this to say, I'll just I'll

322
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.119
go tell you because you're like, how's he go from

323
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.880
the Simpsons to superheroes. He was quoted as saying, my

324
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.920
goal was always to write movies, and I've been a

325
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.519
comic book geek from way back, So this romantic comedy

326
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.279
with a superhero twist was a fitting first feature. This

327
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:40.319
is his first feature film, like a written feature film,

328
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.759
and he clearly is a comic book guy after my

329
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:49.000
super ex girlfriend. He does write the screenplays for three

330
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.960
other superhero movies and Angela. I know for a fact

331
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:53.400
you gotta love at least.

332
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:53.640
One of them.

333
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:55.440
Okay, oh yeah, no, yeah yeah.

334
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:58.759
Two thousand and seven he does Fantastic four, Rise of

335
00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:03.119
the Silver Surfer, which that's the Fox Fantastic.

336
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:05.440
Four, Yeah, which I did enjoy that one.

337
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.680
Like them, Yeah yeah, I like, yeah, I liked him.

338
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:09.000
Yeah.

339
00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:12.680
Twenty eleven, he wrote Thor for Kenneth Browner.

340
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.960
I thought he co wrote all of these? Did he Actually?

341
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:20.519
When I saw co wrote, so, I just yeah.

342
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:23.680
Maybe he did, but I mean, yeah it was so good.

343
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.400
Yeah yeah, and say what you will about it. But

344
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.079
the sequel twenty thirteen's Thor The Dark World, he was also,

345
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:32.720
he was on that one, so.

346
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.240
And then well can I say something so with those

347
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.799
being like you said, he had a comic book background,

348
00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:43.119
a lot of the Simpsons, and then he co wrote

349
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.759
you know, Fantastic for Thor and Thor Dark World which

350
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:48.400
by all accounts are a little bit.

351
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:50.880
More male dominated characters.

352
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:51.960
Yeah. Things.

353
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.039
So this was also kind of after watching this movie

354
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.559
and then seeing the credits, I not knowing who this

355
00:18:58.599 --> 00:18:59.079
guy is.

356
00:18:59.160 --> 00:18:59.720
I'm not not.

357
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.680
Knocking his his uh, you know, contributions to the Simpsons

358
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:05.640
and Common and things like.

359
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:08.240
That, but I was like, of course this was written

360
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:08.920
by a man.

361
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:11.960
And I don't and I and I don't mean that

362
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:13.720
in a derogatory I'm not trying to.

363
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:16.319
Put but it was just like, this was totally written

364
00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:18.599
by by a dude.

365
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:24.759
And so because you know, you can maybe write one

366
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:27.880
sex better than the other, yeah, more or less, you know,

367
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:28.440
like your own.

368
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:32.359
So I definitely there was the romantic comic.

369
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:37.920
There's no romance, there's not much comedy, you know whatever.

370
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.559
But it was just, yeah, it was just very sexist,

371
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:42.880
cliche stereotips.

372
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:44.759
Could we could we have?

373
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:51.319
Could we have maybe had a female writer co write this,

374
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.119
help maybe maybe tweak the script, maybe help with the

375
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:55.960
female characters.

376
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.799
Yeah that would have significantly helped, right, and.

377
00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:01.079
Like it and not even just that, but just yeah,

378
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:03.920
how it was presented. And I know, we'll go into

379
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:06.000
the cast and crew and things like, you know, things

380
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:09.599
like that, but yes, for sure, yeah, I because I

381
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:12.359
think I think the Thomis was a good idea. I

382
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:15.720
think like Super Excitle was good, but it just the

383
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:17.480
delivery and everything else was just okay.

384
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:19.200
So well, well I'll tell you what you want to

385
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:21.839
talk about. Cast. Let's let's talk about the cast. Right

386
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:22.880
after this break.

387
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.319
Welcome back, we are discussing Ivan Reitman's two thousand and

388
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:33.640
six superhero rom com My Super Ex Girlfriend.

389
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:34.359
Did you?

390
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:37.640
I'll tell you I always like this Angela. And I'm

391
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:39.559
not jumping forward because I want to talk about the

392
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:40.440
star first.

393
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:44.519
But earlier this month, we got a Luke Wilson movie.

394
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.480
Last week we had a movie with Wanda Sykes pop

395
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:49.920
in in a fun little cameo.

396
00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:52.599
Oh yeah, And.

397
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:55.839
This week we've got Luke Wilson back, and we got

398
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:58.240
Wanda Sykes popping in in a fun little cameo. So

399
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:01.440
it's kind of weird, how know, because like this this

400
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:03.359
is our Kevin Smith in the Supers month.

401
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:07.759
So we've been talking Kevin Smith movies and we've.

402
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:10.920
You know, trying to throw some superhero stuff here and there,

403
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:13.480
which is why we're talking about my super ex girlfriend.

404
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:18.599
And you know, it is celebrating it's what it's twentieth anniversary, Yeah,

405
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.119
two thousand and six film. As all the movies this season,

406
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.079
we're it's we're celebrating the the the anniversaries of films

407
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:27.839
from two thousand and one and two thousand and six.

408
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:31.359
So we're having a good time doing that. Uma Thurman

409
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:37.880
as Jennifer Johnson aka G Girl. Now I'm gonna go

410
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:39.680
ahead and get this, you know, out of the way.

411
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:43.880
First off, you nailed it with the secret Identity name,

412
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:49.200
the alliterative, you know, Jennifer Johnson. That's that's a that's

413
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.480
a staple, you know, whether it's Peter Parker or Bruce

414
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:57.119
Banner or you know, Jeff Johnson. These names that you

415
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:01.039
always have, Garrett Gibson, you always have, like the hero

416
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:06.079
always has that that that that name where you know, Yes, yeah,

417
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.039
so I love the I love the name the Secret Identity,

418
00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:12.279
Absolutely hate the superhero name.

419
00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:13.359
Yeah.

420
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:16.079
We never really know what G stands for and it's

421
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:19.839
Jenny with the J yep so, and then of.

422
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:22.400
Course does the character speculate us to what it is.

423
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:26.279
Yes, that's a fun little that might be a fun

424
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:27.880
little thing, like what's the G stand for?

425
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:30.440
I mean Goddess Girl.

426
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:33.400
But you think it could be Goddess Girl while I

427
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:35.440
was looking, because like she gets her powders from a meteor.

428
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:40.359
Yeah, she touches the meteor and the fight girl. Maybe

429
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:41.599
I don't know.

430
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:44.680
It pisses me off though that it's fun like the

431
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:47.720
whole movie. You're like the like the the characters. You're like, what,

432
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:50.359
I wonder what the G stands for? Yeah, there's never

433
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:54.839
a payoff. No, I'm looking and I'm doing research. I'm like, Okay, well,

434
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:57.440
what was the cut scene or what was the thing

435
00:22:57.480 --> 00:22:58.839
that they cut out of the movie.

436
00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:00.759
That explained it? Nothing.

437
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:06.680
The only person that maybe can answer this, well, no one,

438
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:09.160
you know, because we lost Ivan Wrightman in twenty twenty two.

439
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:13.720
Uh you know, mister Payne, we we lost before that.

440
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:19.039
So unless Uma knows, maybe they told Uma, like you know, yeah.

441
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:20.240
I don't know. I just don't. I hate the fact

442
00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:21.200
that we don't know.

443
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:24.240
And the only thing I hate more than her name

444
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:28.519
is the lack of creativity that was put into her

445
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:30.440
costume as a as a superhero.

446
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:34.160
Yes, and oh, while we're on the G, if it

447
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:34.880
stood for.

448
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.359
Good Girl, I will literally vomit all over the place

449
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:39.279
that I'm sure.

450
00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:40.200
I hope it wasn't.

451
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.960
Okay, yeah, probably graphight girl got as girls classirl.

452
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:48.440
But yes, the costume at first, you're just like, just

453
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:51.680
like Alvril Levine, super here, I.

454
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:55.000
Just style, what are we doing? It's it's so.

455
00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:59.119
She ran through a thrift store and just I don't know,

456
00:23:59.160 --> 00:23:59.799
whatever stuck.

457
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:01.200
I want to clarify.

458
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:05.119
I don't need to see Uma Thurman and Spandex if

459
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:08.400
you want. Yeah, I mean, yeah we had. We had

460
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:10.880
that was ninety seven. She's she's poison ivy, so we

461
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:13.640
had that. I'm not I'm not saying I don't want

462
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:16.039
to see it, but I'm just saying we didn't need

463
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:19.680
that necessarily, but you could have put something into her costume.

464
00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:23.680
I feel like they were just like, uh, what do

465
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:25.240
we what are we doing with this costume?

466
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:27.880
I don't know, dude, did you? I mean, she didn't

467
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:29.880
have a real name, so who cares? Like I feel

468
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:30.880
like we're just phoning it in.

469
00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:33.359
And it wasn't even a set one. She'd have kind

470
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:34.640
of a different one every time.

471
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:41.119
Yeah, you'd show up, it's always just like like post nineties.

472
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:43.480
Alternative girl.

473
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:46.880
Yeah, there's just like no content, like yeah.

474
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:49.400
And she's and then she's got like the Angela Norris haircut,

475
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:53.640
you know, this giant, flowing blonde main, you know, when

476
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:54.440
she's the Supercherken.

477
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:55.039
I appreciate.

478
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:56.200
Yeah, I'm sure you.

479
00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:00.880
Could let me, let me let's you know, we talked

480
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:02.960
about Ivan Reitman's kind of rise and fall.

481
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:05.920
I feel like there's something similar here happening with Uma.

482
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:09.759
So I absolutely love yeah, because she just came off

483
00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:12.400
the you know, not too long after Kill Bill.

484
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:16.400
Okay, so think about this and like, before this award, Yeah, well,

485
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:21.799
before this movie, she's Uma Thurman, Yes, Dangerous Liaisons, pulp fiction,

486
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:27.599
Kill Bill, among many others, but after this movie again,

487
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:31.680
look at her filmography. Among her many.

488
00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:35.359
Credits, you could argue that she's best known for playing

489
00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:40.279
Medusa in twenty ten's Percy Jackson in the Olympians movie

490
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:43.599
Neither Did I. Amber Lewis is a big Percy Jackson fan.

491
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:45.359
She probably could tell us if she was getting meduced.

492
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:48.119
Amber, I know you're listening. Say the most recent.

493
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:49.519
Thing I actually saw her when it was when I

494
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:54.000
finally got back into doing a watching a Dexter Insurrection.

495
00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:57.319
She's on there that came in about Yeah, so that

496
00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:59.920
was like, but a year or so ago, So nextual

497
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:02.599
it's a pretty cool character first, so it was nice.

498
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.599
It's like, oh, okay, nice to Prime, like where have you?

499
00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:08.279
Yeah, I was okay, but I mean, like the last thing.

500
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:13.160
I know I heard her like major Yeah, this just

501
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:13.960
just not too long ago.

502
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:16.640
You know, the the Gina Carano Rodder Rousey fight.

503
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:20.359
She was like the narrator for like the whole the thing,

504
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:22.960
like the special like leading up to their fight.

505
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:24.519
So I was like, oh, that's is that it with Thurman?

506
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:27.799
I think that's with Thurman. I don't know.

507
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:30.319
I just I feel like this movie kind of killed

508
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:32.799
her momentum in a way.

509
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:34.000
Yeah.

510
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:39.440
I mean she's I mean beautiful. I mean she would

511
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:40.480
have been the great thing.

512
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:45.640
But also the chemistry with the or the lack thereof

513
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:47.640
with the male ed doesn't.

514
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:51.279
Yeah, well let's talk about him. Let's Luke Wilson, uh

515
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:56.240
playing Matt Saunders. It's interesting you said this movie clearly

516
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:01.480
was written by a man, because he is one of

517
00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:05.839
the biggest simps yes you've ever seen on screen.

518
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:09.680
There's nothing to him, There's nothing likable about him.

519
00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:14.839
He's just there. I mean, he.

520
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:16.759
Asked you out if Matt Saunders asked you out, are

521
00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:18.200
you are you? Are you getting a chance?

522
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:18.680
No?

523
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.160
I would give the the specific direct first, Jenny answered.

524
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:26.599
No, okay, okay, all right, I I you know I

525
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:27.680
want to say, and.

526
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:29.680
Then he still doesn't take that as an answer and

527
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:32.000
tries so hard and it's not even matching up to

528
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:34.119
how he really is as a character. He just did

529
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:37.160
it because he wanted to get a check. So it

530
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:41.440
wasn't anything about oh, you know, oh.

531
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:42.920
Yeah, like an interesting person.

532
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:43.960
Okay, really.

533
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:48.519
And you're being egged on by your goofy looking, horny

534
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:49.119
side pick.

535
00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:51.559
You're okay.

536
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:57.240
Problem, here's the problem. I'm the cliche of getting taking

537
00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:59.200
advice from your best friend who's like a horn dog.

538
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:02.400
That dates back to like Splash when John Candy was

539
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:04.839
giving advice to Tom Hank but.

540
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:07.720
He was freaking funny like that, he was funny.

541
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:08.680
I mean the problem.

542
00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:14.119
You're taking dating advice from Dwight. Shoot, you know, Rain

543
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:15.799
Wilson is playing his best friend Vaughn.

544
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:17.480
Yeah, and I'm not.

545
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:20.039
Believing anything that Vaughn says. No, even though he gets

546
00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:21.319
the girl at the end, it's.

547
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:24.880
Like, yeah, can we find out that the horny sidekick

548
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:26.200
who always talks a big game?

549
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:29.119
Surprise? Surprise hadn't been laid in over like two years.

550
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:30.319
Yeah, a little over two years.

551
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:32.839
And then since you brought up Splash, it's funny that

552
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:37.000
you mentioned that because there's a scene where Matt and

553
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.440
Vaughan are doing the indoor racketball game and I immediately

554
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:46.519
thought of John and Tom Hanks and Splash. John Candy

555
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:51.599
was hungover for that and get knocks himself in the

556
00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:53.920
head with the whatever.

557
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:56.640
Anyway, I immediately thought.

558
00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:01.079
Of that good connection there.

559
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:04.160
I want to move past Luke Wilson, but I suffice

560
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:08.279
to say he's playing Luke Wilson, but we just don't like.

561
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:09.079
It this time.

562
00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:11.680
He's likable and legally blonde.

563
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:13.720
Al Right, we're not getting back in the leg I

564
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:15.200
know we're not getting it, but I did think it

565
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:17.640
was funny then in that movie talking about like tying

566
00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:19.960
everything together and that movie, Elle calls him a butt

567
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:21.799
head and he's like, I don't think anybody's calling me

568
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:24.559
a butt hit since like, you know, school grade or whatever.

569
00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:26.279
She goes, yeah, well maybe not to his face.

570
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.920
This movie, after him and Jenny kiss, she's critiquing he's kissing.

571
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:33.200
He's like, well, I've never had this like done, you know,

572
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:34.880
told me about myself, and she's like, yeah, well not

573
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:36.440
to your face. I just thought it was funny that

574
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:39.000
in two films he's being Angela.

575
00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:41.079
Have you have you well, you know, since you brought

576
00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:45.119
that moment up their first kiss, which I'm telling you

577
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:47.400
right now, I don't care who you are.

578
00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:48.319
Well, hold on.

579
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:51.440
Imagine you're on a date, first date, you know, you

580
00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:54.039
get to the first kiss, Angela, and someone wants to

581
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:56.319
give you some pointers, some criticism.

582
00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:58.640
Yeah, no, that that's no, No.

583
00:29:58.640 --> 00:29:59.720
I'm out, you know.

584
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:04.720
Yeah, but uh, Angela, if you were going to offer

585
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:08.559
some some feedback to a to a suitor, would you

586
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:12.680
use a line like flick your tongue, don't put it

587
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.240
out there like a dead fish.

588
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:17.359
Yes, yeah, well usually.

589
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:18.279
Hold out Jennifer Johnson.

590
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:20.319
Yeah, well not only that, but a first kiss that

591
00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:23.200
it just needs to be just a nice simple Yeah,

592
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:24.039
we don't need.

593
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:26.160
To be bachelor's out there. Take take note.

594
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:31.200
Yeah, just just you know, gentlemen, respectful, just you know, nice,

595
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:34.279
you know, general whatever, and then let that be the

596
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:35.680
first one and then go from there.

597
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:38.920
But definitely, and then and then start to read, Yeah,

598
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:41.599
learned to read body language and take cues.

599
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:50.680
Anna Faris she's playing Hannah, the you know, the girl

600
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:51.599
at the office.

601
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:52.799
You're in love with.

602
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:55.640
Yeah, the happy, go lucky, little cute girl next door type.

603
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:59.160
Yeah, Anna, Hannah? Is it is? It is? It is? It?

604
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:02.200
Is it Anna? Or Anna? Which? Which? Which? Which way?

605
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:02.759
Do you go there?

606
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:05.559
I thought I've heard it as Anna Faris.

607
00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:07.480
But I couldn't. Well, I mean, I.

608
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:08.559
Mean, at least the pronunciation.

609
00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:12.319
Okay, Well, I mean I'm just saying, like for all

610
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:14.839
the for all the Ana's slash Anna's out there, I wonder,

611
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:16.160
I wonder what the preference is.

612
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:19.480
I just think, yeah, I think I've heard it said

613
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.640
that way, like with her. I could be misremembering.

614
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:26.119
Let's talk. Let's talk, you know, let's go back to

615
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:28.960
the whole momentum killer. We mentioned that with Uma Thurman.

616
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:35.319
So Anna Anna, Anna Ferris, see Anna, but you wouldn't

617
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:35.920
say Hannah.

618
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:36.839
It's right.

619
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:39.920
Yeah, you know what I'm I'm I'm doubling, I'm stick

620
00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:44.359
I'm sticking to Anna Anna Farris playing Hannah.

621
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:45.319
Okay, So let's talk.

622
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.200
Two thousand to two thousand and six, she does the

623
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:51.319
Scary movie the first three Scary movies. She's in Lost

624
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:54.480
in Translation with with Bill Murray Scarlett Johansson.

625
00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:56.920
It's been so long.

626
00:31:57.039 --> 00:31:59.319
Broke Back Mountain, Angela.

627
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:01.039
What was she Broke Back Mountain?

628
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:01.640
She was?

629
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:04.759
I think she was one of the girls that I

630
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:08.480
want to say was dating, was trying to date Jake Jillenhall.

631
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:12.200
Maybe it's been a long time. I mean, yeah, yeah,

632
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:12.519
it is.

633
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:13.960
I just absolutely do not read.

634
00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:18.039
Okay, Wow, she's in my She's awesome. She's absolutely awesome

635
00:32:18.319 --> 00:32:19.279
in Just Friends.

636
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.240
Yes, oh my god, Yes.

637
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:24.880
This is a white hot streak she's on for these

638
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:25.880
six years.

639
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:27.000
It's still a great movie.

640
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:29.839
And then two thousands, you know, she does this movie

641
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:34.000
and then I ask you, I'll give you The House Bunny,

642
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:36.319
which was like the one where she's like the playboy

643
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:38.440
playmate that gets kicked out of the house or whatever

644
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:40.200
and then goes to a fraternity or whatever.

645
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:43.960
Outside of that, what has she done? Where's she been

646
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:45.119
she did?

647
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:47.720
I know, she did What's Your Number with Chris Evans,

648
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:49.640
and like twenty eleven, which is funny and good.

649
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.559
It was actually based off of the book. So I

650
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:53.519
liked her in that.

651
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:56.119
I thought she and Chris Evans did a really good

652
00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:58.599
job and had good chemistry and stuff. But and then

653
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:01.039
of course she did she was doing the mom series

654
00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:02.319
for a really long time.

655
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:03.400
The Moms. Okay, I don't know.

656
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:07.559
That Moms with Alice and Janny where they're uh recovering

657
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:09.880
alcoholics got She was on there for what seven to eight,

658
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:11.359
Like it's.

659
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:12.039
A long season show.

660
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:14.680
I only seen bits and pieces of like maybe one

661
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:17.480
or two episodes. But she you know, went to television

662
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:19.400
for I think more of a you know, steady thing

663
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:21.759
with her son, and then she did her and then

664
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:27.400
she started her own podcast. Yeah underqualified, I think is

665
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:28.640
what or unqualified?

666
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:29.680
Unqualified?

667
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:33.359
That yeah, yes, so she started as well.

668
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:36.079
I can't remember who the guest was, but isn't that

669
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:37.920
where she dropped a little bit of a bombshell about

670
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.279
her her time making this movie.

671
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:42.319
She did not have a good She did not have

672
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:42.680
a good.

673
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:46.240
Good Yeah, I mean yeah here, but yeah, I don't

674
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:46.680
know about that.

675
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:47.319
Well.

676
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:50.119
She so she had some things to say about Ivan Rightman.

677
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:52.920
She talks kind of about how she felt a little

678
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:58.039
humiliated on set. She she claimed on her on that

679
00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:02.359
Unqualified podcast that Rightman had had slapped her ass at

680
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:04.880
one point.

681
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:06.720
The scene the scene that the scene that she's talking

682
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:07.359
about in question.

683
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:09.639
You remember when she's on the ladder getting books or

684
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:11.679
something down and yes, checking her out.

685
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:14.039
That's where one of the sykes comes in looking at

686
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:14.920
her behind.

687
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:17.760
You sure you don't want to file harassment because that's supervisor.

688
00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:21.320
Yeah, she but she was like, hey, you know, I

689
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:24.440
just all I could do was giggle, you know. But

690
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:27.880
she you know, she had some tough times, like uh

691
00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:30.800
she said basically she made made the claims like every

692
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:33.320
day he was out to tear like tear someone down.

693
00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:35.440
Basically I'm paraphrasing what she said on the podcast, but

694
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:37.559
she's kind of talked about it like each day like

695
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:40.599
she he was coming after somebody, and like her first

696
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:44.599
day on set, it was her and she just kind

697
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:48.000
of felt small. She felt, you know, like I don't

698
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:49.559
want to be here. I'm not happy to be doing

699
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:51.559
one of this movie. So kind of kind of sucks

700
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:53.880
when you hear something like that. And this was this

701
00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:57.519
was recently when she did well that was twenty twenty two,

702
00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:00.559
I guess when she did the podcast. But U just

703
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:03.159
kind of sucks when you hear about a bad experience

704
00:35:03.239 --> 00:35:05.440
of that caliber, you know, because I've been right, man, we.

705
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:08.159
Love him, you know, it's yeah, I think he's fantastic.

706
00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:11.480
So yeah, I mean I get it.

707
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:14.679
I've I've been in that position and had stuff stuff done,

708
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:16.480
and yeah, when you're like doing a job or things

709
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:18.719
like that, sometimes the situation, even though it calls for

710
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:21.599
something much bigger, sometimes I can do is just like

711
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:25.320
you said, just giggle and like kind of just go inward.

712
00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:28.119
I mean, so, I I get it. You know, when

713
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:30.280
you're in that moment, there's no really you know, sometimes

714
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:33.079
it is just a freeze, you know.

715
00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:35.840
I do want to I want to throw some some

716
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:40.719
accolades when we can. At this movie did win an award,

717
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:45.880

Well, it could not have been for the Hallmark Guests soundtrack.

720
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:55.199
It was the surprise here.

721
00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:59.719
It was nominated for an MTV Movie Award for Best

00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:03.239

00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:23.599
Welcome back, Angela.

743
00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:26.920
Before the break, you're you made a comment and I

744
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:32.039
have that in my my notes here. Psychologist Stephen in

745
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:37.760
Gold uh interesting here. He was asked to review this

746
00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:41.159
film and offer some insight into the Jenny Johnson G

747
00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:46.119
Girl character. His professional opinion was that she had borderline

748
00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:47.239
personality disorder.

749
00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:50.480
Oh totally, and I'm not knocking that because if you

750
00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:52.559
need to get help, help, you know, oh yeah.

751
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:52.920
We have that.

752
00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:58.239
But but this was not It's not funny, it was cringe.

753
00:37:58.519 --> 00:37:59.159
It was just.

754
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:03.280
Well yeah, yeah, yeah, the preason.

755
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:08.280
I mean, this isn't I mean, could this ever possibly Angela?

756
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:10.360
Because I you know, I was looking at reviews, like

757
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:13.400
from critics, which were mixed. I was looking at reviews

758
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:16.119
from real people, you know, whether it was on IMDb

759
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:21.320
or Reddit. Some some people, I think unanimously people are like,

760
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:24.760
it's a bad movie. But there was surprisingly, there was

761
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:27.559
a there was a a lot of people that were like, yeah,

762
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:29.360
it's bad, but I would I would watch it again.

763
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:32.440
So is there any hope that this could ever be

764
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:34.840
like one of those bad movies.

765
00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:37.239
You like watching. No, you know, so bad, it's good.

766
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:38.960
I don't think it's so bad. It's good, right, It's

767
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:39.400
just bad.

768
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:41.079
Yeah, it's it's just bad.

769
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:43.239
My Super Ex Girlfriend.

770
00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:45.519
Too many things about it that make my skin crawl

771
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:47.119
that I just yeah, it's not enjoyable.

772
00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:51.639
My Super Ex Girlfriend opened July twenty first, two thousand

773
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:53.880
and six, at number seven.

774
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:55.239
Think about that.

775
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:59.400
Six other movies beat it its opening weekend. It did

776
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:04.119
eight million dollar ultimately made sixty one million worldwide for

777
00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:07.880
an Ivan Wright men comedy in two in the two thousands,

778
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:10.480
with Uma Thurman starring.

779
00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:15.800
That's concerning very much. Uh, let's talk about a scene.

780
00:39:16.840 --> 00:39:23.039
Okay, So I'll go first first, Yeah, no, go ahead.

781
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:25.159
Okay, Okay, so I'll go first because I always I

782
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:27.559
never go first, but you know I'm gonna go first.

783
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:29.800
All gentlemen always first.

784
00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:35.159
Uh yeah, more that male bad writing? Right?

785
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:40.599
Can we talk about uh Uma Thurman's performance. I'm choosing

786
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:45.480
this scene for a performance, okay, because I genuinely I

787
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:47.639
just don't think there's a lot of good acting in

788
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:48.079
this movie.

789
00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:50.760
But it was so forced.

790
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:55.079
I did pick this one for Uma Thurman's performance because

791
00:39:55.199 --> 00:39:56.719
I was kind of laughing a little bit.

792
00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:00.920
Can we talk about the double date scene? Uh?

793
00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:09.000
Luke Wilson's amazing quote. In fact, I super appreciated. Yes, Angela,

794
00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:10.480
She's like, can't a girl.

795
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:11.800
Just have a night off? Yeah?

796
00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:15.599
Yeah, I mean we get it. With great power comes

797
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:19.960
great responses. Yes, but damn can can she just have

798
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:20.920
one night off?

799
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:21.519
Right?

800
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:24.119
Yes? What's you? What do you think about this scene?

801
00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:26.519
I'm laughing at this scene honestly.

802
00:40:26.199 --> 00:40:27.880
I know. It's like, I don't care if this whole

803
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:31.000
city is about to be completely obliterated by a missile.

804
00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:34.079
I'm fucking staying on this goddamn double and I'm not

805
00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:35.599
leaving my boyfriend with us.

806
00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:43.480
You know, she's just a slut shame. Yes, yes, yes,

807
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:45.920
her bread.

808
00:40:46.360 --> 00:40:53.639
Yeah, filling up over here. So we got there's a

809
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:58.760
breaking news. There is a missile, a rogue missile run away,

810
00:40:58.800 --> 00:40:59.960
but something with a missile.

811
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:01.639
It's coming right at New York City.

812
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:05.679
I don't know if you noticed the newscaster, the the

813
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:11.800
anchor that's Ivan's daughter. Okay, yeah, better known as Marine

814
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:15.199
Ponderosa from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. But yeah, Kat,

815
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:17.480
I think Catherine rightman. But anyways, I was like, hey,

816
00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:21.440
it's Marine pond Rosa. They're all freaking out, like every

817
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:23.039
one of the restaurants, like, oh my god. And then

818
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:26.559
she's like, there is no time the city of New York.

819
00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:28.519
All we can do is pray, like it's just getting

820
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:31.360
worse and worse by the second. And he's freaking out

821
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:33.519
and he's like, uh, shouldn't.

822
00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:35.719
Someone take care of it? Yeah, how about the Air Force?

823
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:36.880
Because that's their job.

824
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:41.880
She's like, I gotta be honest, I'm cracking up because

825
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:44.599
she's she's one hundred percent right, it's not her.

826
00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:48.480
Job, but she's a superhero, so she's and.

827
00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:51.639
Then also out of all the moments to yeah, I

828
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:54.239
don't trust you within an of your life and we're

829
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:55.599
all gonna get smited.

830
00:41:55.679 --> 00:41:56.320
I don't care.

831
00:41:56.920 --> 00:41:59.239
But she when she's like, oh, you'd appreciate that, wouldn't

832
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:01.760
you it, He's like, yeah, I'd super appreciate it.

833
00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:05.559
That look that she gives it mine and like it's up.

834
00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:09.880
It's so good. I'm laughing.

835
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:13.239
I'm genuinely that in one other scene I'm genuinely laughing

836
00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:14.480
at and I don't I don't want to step on

837
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:15.320
it because I want to see it.

838
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:18.800
Maybe what scene you want to talk about? What? You know?

839
00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:18.880
What?

840
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:19.519
What do you got?

841
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:23.960
I chose this just not for really any of the

842
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:26.039
reasons that you have listed here, but just for the

843
00:42:26.119 --> 00:42:30.800
pure ridiculousness and caddying it of this take it woman

844
00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:35.000
with superpowers and just so focused.

845
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:36.400
On this lame o.

846
00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:38.800
Well then he goes and you know, he meets you know,

847
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:41.239
his love and everything to Hannah and then immediately you know,

848
00:42:41.320 --> 00:42:42.079
jump into bed.

849
00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:42.760
And then.

850
00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:51.039
She girl is floating outside their window with a live

851
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:55.519
great white shark and flings it through the window into

852
00:42:55.599 --> 00:42:59.840
the bed and it is flip flopping through the apartment

853
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:04.559
going after Matt, and then the poor thing gets knocked

854
00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:06.079
out of another window.

855
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:07.280
And drops to its death.

856
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:09.920
You know, several stories, you know, blowing to New York

857
00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:10.760
City traffic.

858
00:43:11.719 --> 00:43:15.079
I mean, and she just freaking maniacal and just this

859
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:18.400
thing is going through this like chopping. I'm like, are

860
00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:20.760
you freaking kidding me? Right now?

861
00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:25.679
It's so it's so unus's she's not a lover, which

862
00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:28.679
I don't appreciate. I mean, you just kill that poor shark.

863
00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:31.320
You try to kill his fish earlier by boiling it

864
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:34.880
in its tank fatal attraction style. But luckily he saved it,

865
00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:37.480
you know, Okay, so.

866
00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:41.199
Good good once.

867
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:45.159
And he establishes maybe we should see other people, which

868
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:46.920
just don't say that.

869
00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:52.280
Also, she's cutting vegetables with a super sharp, big ass knife.

870
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:54.679
Do not know how to? Yeah, you men do not

871
00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:55.880
read the room?

872
00:43:56.199 --> 00:43:56.920
Yes, okay.

873
00:43:57.039 --> 00:44:02.039
So during the breakup, she she flips the table, she

874
00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:06.400
boils his goldfish, yes, flies through the roof like you know,

875
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:07.679
gives him a brand new skylight.

876
00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:12.719
Additionally, she will use her laser.

877
00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:15.719
Vision to to to put the to write the word

878
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:20.960
dick on his forehead. She takes his car, carves you

879
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:23.840
suck onto it, and then throws it into the into orbit.

880
00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:25.480
So it's just kind of floating out there with the moon.

881
00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:29.039
Makes him look at it through a telescope.

882
00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:32.880
Yeah, strips him. He's he's his big presentation. She like

883
00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:37.000
does her super speed strips him naked. By the way, Angela,

884
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:40.840
before you compliment Luke Wilson on his on his hind parts,

885
00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:43.480
that's a that's a that's a stunt double.

886
00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:46.119
It's a male model standing in front. That's not Luke.

887
00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:48.559
Well, I kind of figured because if you see the

888
00:44:48.599 --> 00:44:50.599
scene earlier where he takes a shirt not knocking him,

889
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:51.039
it's okay.

890
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:51.519
I don't know.

891
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:53.280
I don't mind a dude with a little bit of

892
00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:55.320
you know, he had a little bit of you know,

893
00:44:55.360 --> 00:44:56.000
belly or whatever.

894
00:44:56.159 --> 00:44:58.199
That's fine. But yeah, I knew from whom I'm like,

895
00:44:58.239 --> 00:44:58.960
that is so not him.

896
00:44:59.039 --> 00:45:00.199
That's not his ass, you know that.

897
00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:04.599
But she does all this to him and then culminates

898
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:07.360
in throwing a great white shark at him. I ask you, Angela,

899
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:11.320
in the history like of bad breakups, if if you've

900
00:45:11.360 --> 00:45:12.920
ever when you think back to a bat, if you've

901
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:15.639
ever had a bad breakup, have you ever been so

902
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:18.000
mad at the at the guy that you would if

903
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:18.719
you had the powers.

904
00:45:18.719 --> 00:45:20.239
And we don't know, I mean, I'm not confirming or

905
00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:22.039
denying that you are superhero.

906
00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:24.360
Would you would have you ever been angry enough to

907
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:25.760
throw a great white shark at a guy?

908
00:45:26.760 --> 00:45:27.559
Not literally?

909
00:45:28.039 --> 00:45:28.440
I wouldn't.

910
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:32.840
I would never harm Yes, I was like, no, I would,

911
00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:33.559
I would never.

912
00:45:33.920 --> 00:45:34.960
I would never do that.

913
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:39.159
Yeah with the but yeah, it's just but then can

914
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:41.800
I mean, you know the her her.

915
00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:45.800
Method of handling rejection. It's a little bit better with

916
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:50.639
help men handle rejections. So you know, I know that's

917
00:45:50.679 --> 00:45:52.719
another topic for another podcast.

918
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:57.400
But anyway, Okay, what we're gonna take.

919
00:45:57.440 --> 00:45:59.599
We're gonna take one last break and then we'll come

920
00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:05.039
back wrap things up. I am curious to hear your

921
00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:08.239
recommendation here. So let's let's say someone watches My Super

922
00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:12.159
Ex Girlfriend and they say, hey, Ivan Rightman, interesting movie.

923
00:46:12.679 --> 00:46:15.559
I get why it's not a fan favorite, but I

924
00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:20.679
enjoyed it. But did he do some some underrated stuff?

925
00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:22.880
Did he do some stuff that was maybe not as popular?

926
00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:29.800
You know, written by, directed by, or possibly featuring Ivan Rightman?

927
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:34.039
What underrated project would you recommend.

928
00:46:33.840 --> 00:46:34.880
To our listeners.

929
00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:38.079
I'm gonna go with Dave, Kevin Klein, and Sigourney Weaver.

930
00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:42.639
That was I liked that, well, you should love it.

931
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:44.480
It's awesome, But I don't know if that's underrated.

932
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:48.719
Well it was hard, I know, but going through that

933
00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:50.719
whole list, I'm like, I don't like what would even

934
00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:54.639
be considered underrated. All those other ones were pretty well known.

935
00:46:54.679 --> 00:47:00.360
I don't really remember Dave getting but again I went

936
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:00.840
with that one.

937
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:02.360
Okay, let's let's I got.

938
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:04.360
We gotta give you a free pass on this one

939
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:07.280
because it wasn't like a blockbuster, but it was a.

940
00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:08.639
It was a fun Everyone loves Dave.

941
00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:12.480
Okay, we have David, we got, we got, we got

942
00:47:12.519 --> 00:47:13.039
David Burns.

943
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:14.519
Oh yeah, we love David Burns.

944
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:17.519
Daves Dave's are just good. And Kevin Kline Davis is awesome.

945
00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:21.199
All right, I'll uh yeah, let's judges, we're gonna allow

946
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:23.079
that one because it's it's just a fun movie.

947
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:26.119
That's that's that's a good one. I'll tell you my recommendation.

948
00:47:26.800 --> 00:47:27.719
I already mentioned it.

949
00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:33.000
And you know, based on the amount of money made, Yeah, definitely,

950
00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:35.719
I feel a little underrated, whether you're talking to Ivan

951
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:39.159
rightman or Kevin Costner talking about twenty fourteenth Draft Day

952
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:43.440
one more time, because Angela, you've seen it, right, yes, Okay.

953
00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:45.519
Now this is what I say. Really, you know, get

954
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:46.280
into the football thing.

955
00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:47.679
But that was ye was really good.

956
00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:50.119
I didn't feel does that feel like an Ivan Rightman

957
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:55.840
movie at all? No, did twenty nine million worldwide on

958
00:47:55.920 --> 00:47:59.639
a budget of twenty million, and you know, Hollywood math Angelo,

959
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:04.400
that movie did not make money. So, as I said before,

960
00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:08.119
it was Rightman's final film before his his death.

961
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:08.719
In twenty twenty two.

962
00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:13.159
Kevin Costner in sports that's pretty much all you need,

963
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:16.880
you know, to make one or both of those a success.

964
00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:19.760
In my opinion, we need to do a sports movie. Okay,

965
00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:22.039
can we get Kevin Costner? Yeah, we need a Kevin

966
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:24.679
cost movie. Can he do something in sports? Yeah, okay, we're.

967
00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:28.440
Good now you mentioned it. He has had several sports.

968
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:33.079
Oh, he's Kevin Costner. Might be the king of sports movies.

969
00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:38.519
Field of Dreams, Yeah, Boulder, yep, Draft Day yep.

970
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:40.719
Come on, ten Cup?

971
00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:45.760
Oh yeah, that's golf. Okay, yeah, ten Cup. Yeah.

972
00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:49.199
How about one of my favorite baseball movies. We haven't

973
00:48:49.199 --> 00:48:50.960
covered it yet, but we will, I'm sure.

974
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:53.920
For love of the game. Billy Channing.

975
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:56.719
Oh yeah, yeah, I have such a good one. I

976
00:48:56.719 --> 00:48:59.000
don't think I ever watched it one, but I had.

977
00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:01.679
Oh you got it. You gotta watch that one. I

978
00:49:01.679 --> 00:49:04.280
think you'd like it. Good stuff, good stuff.

979
00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:07.119
So five of them?

980
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:13.280
Yeah, three ball one golf and baseball football golf. Can

981
00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:17.039
you can you be a world breaker and say archery

982
00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:18.960
if you throw Robino Prince of Thieves in there?

983
00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:23.320
Yeah, there you go, there you go right. Yeah.

984
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:25.199
I don't know that I need to ask, but I

985
00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:27.800
will Angela, because we always do this at the end

986
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:34.079
your recommendation or lack thereof, But would you if someone

987
00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:36.760
someone's like, is this at least is this for like

988
00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:39.719

a video episode and she is shaking her Yeah.

993
00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:52.840
No. I would not recommend this one, but if you

994
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:57.159
do want a really good, cute, romantic comedy does not

995
00:49:57.239 --> 00:49:59.599
have anything to do with superpowers. But guess what that

996
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:02.760
will not break? This movie is really good. It's nineteen

997
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:05.400
ninety six is the Truth about Cats and Dogs with

998
00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:08.760
Uma Thurman starting alongside Jeanine Garoffalo and Ben Chaplin.

999
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:10.480
That is still one of my favorites.

1000
00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:10.960
I would.

1001
00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:13.480
I would check that one out. If you haven't seen

1002
00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:14.239
that one.

1003
00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:17.440
All right, you, that's not bad. Actually, actually that's a

1004
00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:18.880
fun movie. I've seen that one.

1005
00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:20.000
It's good. It's good.

So we'll have to watch it. I think it's a really.

1008
00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:27.760
Good banter friendship.

1009
00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:30.840
Anything Is there anything off off from memory?

1010
00:50:30.920 --> 00:50:34.079
Is there anything even remotely superhero related or super related?

1011
00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:37.480
Because super Troopers? Yeah, is the word super even put

1012
00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:38.039
in it? You know?

1013
00:50:38.719 --> 00:50:40.800
Probably not, but you know what, it's fine because Lelei

1014
00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:46.639
Blonde didn't have Kevin Smith or super powered people, so no,

1015
00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:47.159
it had.

1016
00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:48.639
It had Angelinoris and Amber Lewis.

1017
00:50:48.679 --> 00:50:49.599
So that's that's right.

1018
00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:51.920
If you want superpowers, that's that's the That's the two

1019
00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:53.880
right there, Amber and Angela.

1020
00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:58.119

Angela, it is always a pleasure with you when you're

1026
00:51:17.719 --> 00:51:19.199
not tossing great white sharks at me.

1027

I do my best to withhold that I keep that further.

You Yeah, I can, I can I say something you.

1029
00:51:26.920 --> 00:51:30.119
You've been pretty busy this this past month, and you've

1030
00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:31.159
done such an awesome job.

1031
00:51:31.639 --> 00:51:32.119
Thank you.

1032
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:33.519
Yeah, it's great to have you.

1033
00:51:33.599 --> 00:51:38.280
Like again, hindsight, I never would have thought male dominated

1034
00:51:38.280 --> 00:51:42.239
comedies like Super Troopers and Kevin Smith stuff. You weren't

1035
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:45.920
the first name on the call sheet and then you're like, whoa,

1036
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:47.840
hey guy, I want to talk.

1037
00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:51.920
Yeah, and I are you wrong. I don't know if.

1038
00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:56.719
I've laughed more on a couple of episodes, uh, the

1039
00:51:56.920 --> 00:51:58.400
entire time we've been doing this, I don't know if

1040
00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:01.639
I've laughed more then than these last couple ones that

1041
00:52:01.679 --> 00:52:02.320
you've been a part of.

1042
00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:07.760
So thank you for that. I super appreciate it.

1043
00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:10.159
I bet you do.

1044
00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:15.760
