we're on a mission from god

wendy so i got that going darling

looks like i picked the wrong way to

quit sniffing blue light

of my life we enjoy your films

[Music]

welcome to vintage videos where we're

re-watching the 80s so you don't have to

we'll be reviewing every major film

release of the 1980s in real time

i'm patrick o'reilly i'm jesse bayless

and i'm richard wells and today marks

the 40th anniversary of the release of

hollywood nights on may 30th

1980. it was written by floyd mutruck's

richard letterer and william tennant

directed by

floyd mutrucks and released by columbia

pictures

the location for tubby's drive-in the

centerpiece of the film was actually

a recently closed a w root beer oh

i missed those places it was right on

van nuys boulevard

uh did you guys have a lot of those out

here we had one in camarillo

we had one or we have one we had one i

didn't know that

by the way who knows where we live

punk rock group the new bomb turks took

their name from a character in this film

i'll explain which one later

[Laughter]

this film bears a striking resemblance

to george lucas's american graffiti with

tubbies playing the part of

mel's drive-in according to imdb this is

the first major film role for michelle

pfeiffer tony danza and robert wool

18 year old dudley in the film is being

played by a 33 year old man

yeah and advertising for the film parody

the apollo program with the tagline

the first movie to moon a man on the

land

instead of landing a man on the moon

which i'm pretty sure we had some guys

mooning people in

gorp yeah yeah too many way too many

not enough what but way too many

yeah but can it be way too many

we start the film with an egg smashing

against the title

on the screen and we hear surf sam on

kvla announced that tubby's drive-in is

coming down tonight

it's their last night of operation and

that if you're sad about it a friend

with weed is a friend indeed

i thought for sure that this was going

to be about saving the drive-in

that's what i expected the whole time

yeah yeah especially when we when we cut

to the

like affluent white family talking about

how excited that they're going to be to

tear it down and build this

new complex yeah it feels like the

sequel to a movie where

the gang didn't save the place yeah

they're just celebrating

it's like earnest goes to camp it's like

they're trying to save the camp

yeah but uh but no they literally staged

a whole neighborhood watch meeting

to talk about how happy they are that

this place isn't gonna exist anymore

although we do have a decent soundtrack

provided i think mostly by columbia

records but

there was stuff the studio didn't own

also

really good music actually was like as

we were watching the first 10 or 15

minutes i was like i might actually want

to buy the soundtrack to this movie well

it's much like the american graffiti

soundtrack right which is just like a

really great soundtrack i think they

actually have songs in common too

it was solid wall-to-wall music with you

know going from

famous song i recognized a famous song i

recognized so i was really surprised at

how much music they

put in this movie because that usually

dooms the thing to

not being released well yeah i mean i

don't know how they could afford that

much music

well the story with uh american graffiti

was always that

george lucas had like planned to use all

this music and he wasn't going to back

down on any of it

to the point that like a bunch of people

went unpaid and he offered them credits

in the film as

like in exchange and it's like no no

you're supposed to pay me and put my

name in chris

but uh up before american graffiti they

didn't credit everyone in the department

they credited the department head

and the credits for american graffiti

were much longer than usual because

everyone that worked on the film was

getting a credit

some in place of a paycheck but that's

not what we're reviewing

well look kind of our i think we're

going to touch back on it now and then

no i think that's that's the only

similarity that's it we're not going to

talk about all right fair enough

the knights the hollywood the titular

hollywood knights are driving around

pretending to have a person in their

trunk or i guess they actually have a

person in their truck

yeah but they're pretending that it was

uh a non-consensual

trunk situation and uh they pull up to a

bus stop where there's an old lady

and then a hand reaches out of the trunk

and tries to like grasp around and then

they drive away laughing that she

noticed their prank

dumb prank not funny and the old lady

wouldn't have cared

we cut to fran drescher and some friends

fran

from the other man mooning movie corp

she's still totally cute in this movie

she's absolutely adorable

when all you when all you know are from

is the nanny and you go back and you

watch these films you're like

oh i get it i get her appeal i always

liked her actually

but um she does have that i think i

mentioned it on the gorp episode she has

like that

gilbert godfrey reputation of just being

an annoying voice comedian

and that's like the end of it she's here

with uh two friends who are sunbathing

topless by a pool in the backyard

when new bomb magically appears to take

photographs of them

from the plants and they notice him and

scream and then he runs off

weirdly old school camera here yeah i

feel like it's

well actually maybe it's not because

what year is this supposed to be taking

place

65 okay so maybe that camera was

appropriate

i don't know it was weird because it had

like a giant film strip coming out of it

it was like

all the polaroids were all connected

well it seemed like a medium format

camera of some sort

yeah i don't know i'm not familiar with

65 photography

but he seems to have magical powers to

uh transport all over the place right

because as soon as he's running away

from here

we see him being arrested in someone

else's yard and

it feels like you're cutting to a

different scene happening concurrently

but somehow it's him again being

arrested for

the prank on the old lady earlier not

for

what he was just doing they're

complaining that oh these are also the

guys that egged our cars recently

and then while the the four hollywood

knights are in the grass of this front

yard

their cars are getting hit with eggs by

unseen knights

who they also have the power of

invisibility yeah these eggs literally

come out of nowhere

yeah and they're not even looking for a

source they're just like oh there's

another egg hit my car

okay we cut to the police station where

the supervising officer of these two

uh characters bimbo is the guy driving i

forget the other guy's name clark

clark bimbo and clark and uh they're

getting chewed out for hassling the

hollywood knights because

their stronghold is about to be

demolished and

we shouldn't be picking fights with

these people because it's all going to

be over soon so let's not make it over

complicated

which makes absolutely no sense because

no

well this is certainly a place where

they seem to gather they all

drive these fancy cars and the car place

is still there which is right next door

right but the parking lot is being

turned into

uh like a business park right but can't

they still go to the

auto detailing place and they can but

there's not a massive parking lot like

there

was it at the place right still

you can still go there right but the

whole point of this place is that

there's a big parking lot so they can

all park their fancy cars next to each

other and just drink and

and have fun but they're losing that

opportunity which i i assume would mean

they would just move to a different

neighborhood

bimbo and clark are getting chewed out

by a boss for

picking a fight with these kids before

they

finish this scene their boss points out

that

someone has spray-painted knights rule

on the side of their police car

which somehow they didn't notice we cut

to a neighborhood

watch meeting there's a bunch of

neighbors complaining about the rampant

mooning that goes on at the hands of

these hollywood knights

who are terrorizing the neighborhood the

whole time they're trying to have this

meeting

they're being interrupted by the same

two cops that

five minutes ago were being chewed out

at the station and five minutes before

that were

arresting five of these kids now they're

for some reason

in the kitchen just arguing about

popular music

in these people's house i don't know why

the police are at their house right

they're probably there for the

neighborhood watch meeting but they're

not in the room where the meeting is

happening they're

sitting in the kitchen arguing with each

other in full uniform

it's just uh i'm not clear what's going

on here

then uh mrs friedman who's running the

meeting reveals the

poster of the the business park that's

going to be replacing

tubbies and everyone's very excited that

they won't be terrorized anymore by the

nights they're going to have to move on

to some other burger joint with all

their fancy cars i mean

is this all that they get out of it i

guess i mean they're very excited for

this new building but what do they

what do they get from this building

fewer butts

all right i mean the butt percentage is

going to drop

significantly yes we cut outside the

house which the knights have of course

teepeed completely

even though there's like police inside

all the neighbors are in the same house

but

the whole thing is covered in toilet

paper i feel like i'd be more upset

about

that than the butt situation yeah like

the butt is just defensive

to my eyes but if i have to clean up all

the toilet paper and dried

egg goo all over my house that would be

bad we'll use the toilet paper to clean

up the egg

oh there you go we have an expert in the

house

but the the knights then go for the

trifecta they leave a

bag of flaming poo on the porch nevin

who

seems to be second in command at this

meeting opens the door

and as he's heading to the front door to

answer the ringing of the doorbell

mrs friedman is kind of catching up with

him and uh

groping at his crotch because the two of

them are having an extramarital romance

so yeah i was going to say at this point

we're supposed to realize that it's

not her husband i did not earlier in the

meeting she says i'm sorry my husband's

not here exactly she says i'm sorry my

husband's not here

but he's at the he'll be at the rally

that we've scheduled the same night as

this meeting

and of the dance later and of all this

other stuff right

but if you missed that line like i did

you watch this whole movie thinking

that they're married that they're

married and she's just really under her

husband and doesn't get any alone time

with him

yeah so nevin answers the door and of

course he steps on the dog poo

which is always funny

dog poo and then uh barbara anne plays

as this tradition with the flaming bag

of dog poop yes

poop again he called the [ __ ] poop

see that's what's funny is you make a

joke around what's happening

instead of just being like wasn't it

funny on its own it's like no because

these are all actors just doing what you

paid them to do

stuff on that bank not funny

automatically you have to put a joke in

there

so they that we are back at uh tubbies

where the knights are meeting with their

four pledges for this year

is it tubbies or is it just tubs i think

it's tubbies i think

the sign says yeah the cops are driving

around and uh

clark asks bimbo how he would look with

a mustache

and he says oh you'd look perfect like a

perfect jerk

and clark is like ah and it's such a

funny joke that we should probably

repeat it later in the movie

for no reason but then clark starts to

sing a song

and i and it was my only my only genuine

laugh of the entire movie i really love

this song

and i've been singing it ever since i

first watched this movie i could vouch

for that he has not stopped singing

but he's singing the theme of lawrence

of arabia

but he's added lyrics to it so it goes

laurence

lawrence of arabia

he's an english guy he came to fight the

turkish

and bimbo was in the process of

explaining to him that

this song does not have lyrics and he's

like no i saw it a bunch of times in the

theaters he's like

it never had lyrics any of the times

that you saw it

we cut two but yet somehow new bomb turk

hears this song and is able to repeat it

yes there's a microphone somewhere in

this car wait no

that's the joke crap i totally missed it

because he said because clark said he

was in the theater and he kept hearing

someone singing

that song oh so new bomb yeah singing in

the theater

every time live

while we're recording days later it

finally

clicked apparently clark thought that

there were lyrics to the song because

new bomb turk wasted money to sit behind

him and sing along to the theme of

lawrence of arabia every time he saw

that's a lot of effort to put into a

[ __ ] prank but

the knights take all their pledges to

watts

and they make them strip completely

naked and carry tires

for their initiation into the hollywood

nights now this is not a fraternity

this is just a group of people yeah you

get to call yourself

a hollywood knight and like one of the

guys is really

you know i got to be a hollywood knight

my grandfather and his grandfather and

his grandfather going back to the late

1700s to be fair what is a fraternity

except just a group of people as well

well it's at least centered around like

a

building that you all live in together

and

[Music]

it's just uh i don't get why anyone

would care about joining this group of

like city pranksters those butts are

prestigious

they don't look very prestigious they're

not being well taken care of

little hygiene is in order we got an

expert here

initiation basically consists of carry

these tires

go turn in a request at the local

radio station for a specific song to

play at two o'clock in the morning

and then bring the tires back to tubbies

you have to have the tires

you have to have the tires back at

tubbies at 2 am and right at 2 am a song

has to play

and this radio station does not take

requests over the phone you have to

give them in person we cut to the dj

booth which is like attached to a record

store

but it's out on the sidewalk side and dr

j is taking over in the dj booth

for uh surf sam i think was the other

guy's name he's

he sits down at the booth and starts to

play the next song we cut to

fran drescher what is her name in this

movie uh

there's so many people in this movie

it's hard for me to kind of keep

her name is sally sally okay i also want

to point out right now whoever decided

that the credits would be in

alphabetical order by last name

i hate you because it made this so much

more work to look things up

yeah when like the doo-wop group is

split up into four parts that are like

20 names apart each time it's really

annoying but so sally

the french rusher character and her two

friends are

driving through a park on the grass

and then on sidewalk and pull over next

to a tree

to change completely from one outfit

into another outfit like stripping

completely

naked and then changing outfits under

this tree in the middle of a park

random random park there's there's no

this isn't they don't do this here all

the time there's no reason that anyone

would know that they were gonna do this

here

turk who we said before has invisibility

and teleportation powers

is in the tree with two of his other

friends just spying on these girls

and watching them get naked i feel like

if i were him i would get tired of

seeing these girls naked because i see

them naked all day every day wherever

they are i'm just invisible in their

room watching them naked that's what

this character would be doing

with his magical powers i feel like i

would just choose not to strip

in a convertible that doesn't make sense

you're not making any sense

they don't even strip in the car they

get out of the car and stand in front of

it and strip completely naked and then

get back in the car

uh once the girls notice them and start

screaming at them and drive away

the cops pull up and arrest them for the

second time in

six hours yep but for some reason

they're still free to go

although he does i guess there is an

explanation here because

one of the two cops says you squirrels

better have some nuts in your mouth

or you're going downtown which i think

means you all better blow me

or yeah you're getting a squad car so

they must have blown this guy a couple

times already today

we cut to michelle pfeiffer and tony

danza that's why he keeps arresting them

yeah

yeah it's it's a game that they play

with each other it's their last night to

you know give these guys a few more

times before they disperse them

he's gonna miss him

[Laughter]

michelle pfeiffer and tony dansa pull up

to

uh tubbies yeah where she works she's a

car hop there

and he's mad that she works well he's

mad that she works

day and night she has a daytime job and

a night job

and so he's he's upset that he doesn't

he also has a night job

he's a healthy night

is he i don't even know if he is a

knight he didn't throw an egg at anybody

i barely saw his ass i don't even i'm

not convinced he is one

but he's mad that she works nights so he

doesn't get to hang out with her at

night and then all day she has auditions

scheduled because she wants to be an

actress

this place is closing tonight anyway so

who gives a [ __ ] if you just call out

don't go in clark and bimbo pull up in

the cop cart to tubbies and just start

randomly telling kids to get the cars

out of there

that there's not going to be any racing

tonight they make sure to tell all the

other hollywood knights that if

they even smell any burning rubber turk

is going to have to blow him again

um no he just says that turk's going to

be the one who gets in trouble for it

just turk he reminds everyone so that

no one except for this one guy cares

it's not even turk characters really

yeah he doesn't really

he starts to flirt with a couple of

girls as they pull up into the recently

vacated parking spot

they order two big ones and two cherry

cokes

and he offers them a big one because

he's hilarious

and then he threatens to fart a song

into their car

he starts with hey have you ever heard

my version of that song

have you ever oh my god we have to get

out of here

they both know what's going to happen

because this is routine for him

this is his pickup line i guess this is

how turk hits on ladies as he farts into

their cars

spoiler alert i think it works no i

think it does too for some reason

but anyway these two uh pull away from

the restaurant because they are not

interested

in having a fart car and uh even though

it was a convertible it'd be very

difficult

yeah to trap a fart i also don't think

that it's realistic to fart songs the

way he does in this movie

but maybe i'm just a shitty song farter

yeah you need to practice more okay no

please don't practice more

i'm gonna take i'm gonna get lapetto

maine's book of

uh intentional farts um

do you know who lopetto maine is no he

was like a french guy who used to

perform like just fart stuff

on stage but he literally like pumped

air into his own butt

and then would fart on stage in like the

1800s

is that why mel brooks is named after

him in the blazing saddles probably

yeah we meet another character because

there's

just not enough characters oh god it's

just

jimmy is leaving for the military he

just just the military in general he's

not going anywhere apparently

he's convinced that he's not going to go

to vietnam because they're only taking

advisors but this is before they really

started to

pick up in the uh that's the enlistment

effort yeah that this is the the

the audience has more information than

he does kind of thing

dramatic irony he thought that his

girlfriend was pregnant recently which

would have meant that he wouldn't

be forced to go to vietnam apparently

that's a part of the drafting program

that i was not aware of that

fathers were somehow allowed to skip out

on the duty

but not the duty not the duty that

whatever talk about

60s nobody no dudes are changing diapers

no

we uh they reminisce here about the

first time they showed up to smitty's

car shop that basically jimmy and

tony danza's character pulled up on a

bike that was broken

and he would told him to get get it out

of his shop and a couple hours later he

had the whole thing fixed and running

better than ever and whatever

we're good friends now because you fixed

my bike 20 years ago they complain that

nobody wants to be a knight anymore they

only have four pledges

this year but how many tires can you

really take in a trunk to watts

i think four is a good max plus there

seems to be an awful lot of nights

already

yeah it seems like you you probably

could max you could probably only take

on four more

yeah one of the one of the knights is

sitting by a car

and thinks that a pirate is checking him

out this is

the the second hint that this is

actually taking place on halloween night

yeah i was really confused about this

until we get much later in the movie

why is this random chick dressed like a

pirate well

they say it's halloween at the beginning

of the in the radio but it's so lightly

hinted at throughout the whole movie the

only hit we've gotten so far was that

there was

a pumpkin by the door when nevin went to

step on all the [ __ ] bag

here there's a woman dressed as a pirate

and i was like are they like

across the street from medieval times or

something

why is there this woman in this weird

scarfy

dress with in this scurvy dress scarfy

my word was made up um

but scurvy is a thing yeah um

not to describe dresses that dress was

very low in vitamin c you have not had

enough lemons in that dress

citrus you cannot you cannot argue that

that dress is very low in vitamin c

the yeah so the guy thinks a pirate is

checking him out but his friend blows it

for him by saying hey are you checking

my friend out and that's the end of that

scene

then a drunk kid wanders through the

shot carrying a skateboard i'm pretty

sure

this kid is like 14 but seems like he's

wasted on set

like he's slurring his words and

i'm pretty sure he was actually drunk we

get this dumb joke

uh turk is sitting with sally at the

window outside the restaurant

and he says hey you're the fine food

what do you get when you cross a donkey

with a slice of bermuda onion

i don't know what a piece of ass that

brings tears to your eyes

and the guy in the restaurant goes and

then when they cut to him behind turk's

back he's just like

[ __ ] idiot like so stupid i'm tired

of your dumb jokes

whatever's happening between it's

working between farting a song

in their convertible and dumb jokes that

don't make any sense

she's into it yeah sally is she thought

it was great

and she's smiling about it but she

stands up to go get in a car with her

boyfriend

who is a college guy and he's wearing

like a sherlock holmes costume

mm-hmm i don't even know if it's a

costume he's just supposed to be like a

crappy

pretty nonsense man he's got a a pipe

and a driving cap and uh i don't know

what he's doing

but he also drives an a nice car which

made me think that he was

part of their group or at least part of

their social circle

no it's just in 1965 literally everyone

drove a classic car because they were

all from the 60s well and this is

[Music]

[Laughter]

but this is also beverly hills this is

taking place in beverly hills so i think

everybody

is well off the cops harass the drunk

kid

they call him a sidewalk surfer and they

take his cigarettes away

is that a thing is that what you used to

call skateboarding i think so yeah

i think some people still call it that

they're about 110 but they still do it

the kid says that the cigarettes were

for his mom and they're like whatever

get out of here

turk drives down the main drag waving

nude polaroids of a girl at her

in another car and he's offering to sell

them to the other people

in the car with her i don't understand

this plan

or just social decision to be like

i'm gonna sneak into someone's house and

take naked pictures of them and then

sell them to their friends in front of

them

her boyfriend laughs and says that he

has the real deal and he doesn't need

photographs

turk parks the el camino which we find

out later is his

or i guess here is his brother's car not

his car

and he parks it in front of a fire

hydrant and they say

hey you parked that in front of a fire

hydrant and he says big deal it's

halloween

which is our third hint that it's

halloween mrs friedman

is inside the school giving the

introduction at a

pep rally and she hands off the

microphone to a weatherman for

no reason who announces some more things

while someone moons him from the

audience new bomb dresses like a wolf

and hits on a girl in a robin hood

costume in the parking lot

because it's halloween and that's

hilarious dudley and his mom are

approaching the rally

dudley is the 33 year old playing an 18

year old

he's he's sort of the social outcast he

uh is stuttering and uh he's dressed in

a like full band

uniform and he's trying to practice

songs on his trumpet

dudley is my hero yeah he's great he he

is the hero of this film

yes his mom tells him that he has to do

a good job because

uh the school is going to hand him a

check for 500 which is a year's tuition

in 1965.

ugh depressing friedman

and nevin have sex in a car

while the rally is still going on well

they're attempting to

yeah they're yeah they get started at

least the weatherman hands off the mic

to another guy

and this is mr friedman um he is the

president of the residency association

and he's the president the president

what and he introduces the marching band

and unrolls a banner that says beat the

[ __ ] out of the panthers which they

immediately have to roll back up because

obviously the words the [ __ ] uh out of

have been added to this banner

dudley walks up to the car where mrs

friedman and nevin are

still having sex and he puts his head

down between her legs while

dudley walks up to talk to her and it

seems like nevin does not stop

while she's having this conversation

dudley is showing her

uh props from a magic show that he

intends to do later in the night

and he drops them all into the car and

uh while they're trying to fish them out

of the back seat a third hand reaches up

with one of them

to hand them back to dudley and then he

accidentally bumps their car horn which

is stuck

and is just blaring until dudley finally

leaves and the two of them can get out

of the car to stop the horn

new bomb tells a pair of elderly women a

dirty joke about a guy

with five dicks and how his pants fit

like a glove

i feel like this must have just been the

crew sitting around going like uh

what's a joke we should this this movie

needs more jokes

who'd be a funny person to tell this

joke old ladies let's tell the old

ladies okay

it feels kind of like they checked out

one of those

cheesy joke books from the library yeah

it really does

i mean maybe it's accurate to the time

that in 65 it was like

yeah that's all we did was we sat around

at the library memorizing bad jokes

and then we would tell them at night the

knights jump dudley

on his way into the school and steal his

uniform but

it seems like they're familiar with him

and they're at least friends with him

because they like know where he keeps

his inhaler

and they know how he's gonna react to

this attack so they're immediately like

digging into his pocket like okay here

you go here's your inhaler

he's like please don't hurt me i think

i'm a bleeder

um we cut back inside the rally

where miss mr friedman introduces the

beverly hills cheerleaders there's only

three of them

yeah it's a cheerleading squad of three

women and one of them

forgot to put on her underwear and so

they do

as one does yeah it happens it happens

to all of us

i'm not wearing any right now well yeah

but that's on purpose but sometimes it

happens on accident too

and it happened to this girl and so

she's

doing some high kicks and fast spins and

showing off her butt

and everyone has a meltdown about it i i

don't know if they're

having a meltdown about her showing off

her but because we see her butt from

behind as she's jumping

facing the crowd right well it seems

weird to me because she seems

genuinely mortified that after she

realized what

had happened yeah and i don't think you

wear a tiny tiny short

skirt like that i don't notice you're

about to do some high cakes and don't

notice that you forgot your underwear

yeah i mean it's a little breezy down

there

if you're wearing a short skirt yeah

well this lady did it somehow

magically it was just the perfect

temperature out so you just you just

beautiful you know hollywood nights

that's the same of the movie oh my god

that's what it was a reference to

the comfortable temperature of her

vaginal

region the cops pull up to the school

and ticket new bombs

vehicle they tow it yeah they they

yeah they tow it's actually not his

vehicle it's his brother's vehicle

so the cops pull up to toe new bombs

brothers el camino

but while they're there they're getting

hit with eggs from more invisible

teleportation nights somehow new bomb is

there

to sing the lawrence of arabia song to

them but doesn't know that his car's

been towed later

right i'm pretty sure it is turk singing

it too

it's definitely robert wall so he's out

there

singing this song as a joke on them

while they're towing his car and then

later he's shocked to learn that it's

happened

the uh the guy on stage mr friedman

introduces

dudley who's gonna come and perform a

song and it's new bomb in dudley's

clothes he sings volari and

farts into the microphone while he's

singing

fran drescher yells at her boyfriend for

not thinking it's funny

because apparently i'm her boyfriend

the el camino is towed after the

rally once the mad farter has been

reported to the police

the cops arrest dudley thinking that he

is the mad farter

but but honestly what if they are what

would even if they had the right guy

what would they be arresting him for

public flatulence

yeah i need to be more careful yeah

there's not a law that he's breaking and

they would 100

for sure have killed this guy if a

second police car

and a group of witnesses who knew that

he was receiving the scholarship hadn't

shown up in time

because they're literally like sitting

on his back not giving him his inhaler

as he's dying from an asthma attack

from this hilarious prank that the

knights pulled so they almost got deadly

killed tonight

won't be the first time but uh luckily

someone prevented this murder by cop

the pledges steal a bunch of clothes

from a clothesline in a backyard on

their way through watts

and inadvertently look like

inadvertently though

he's wearing a hood like a triangular

hood over his head like what did he

like there's no reason to put that on

your head that way

but uh they walked past the house where

people are having sex in the living room

and they notice this this pointed hood

walking through yeah

grab a gun and chase them with with a

gun out of the

out of the yard getting shot at the

whole time we cut to a group of four

du-whoppers

performing a song at the record store

and the dj is enjoying the performance

newborn's brother comes looking for him

but there's absolutely

no payoff to his brother coming looking

for him

right yeah that was really weird and the

scene doesn't make any sense either

because

oh actually we have a quick scene with

tony danza and michelle pfeiffer here

which they're so sparse but danza

pitches moving to venice together to

michelle pfeiffer

who says like oh well you're asking me

to give up so much and it's like no i'm

not it's like

10 miles that way you could still act if

we live in venice

i don't understand what you're talking

about sacrificing well apparently in the

60s venice was like the boonies

i don't know i don't know but uh she

said she has a screen test in the

morning but

yeah and this is when new bomb's brother

shows up so right before he gets there

someone says hey new bomb i think your

brother's looking for you

and then he goes and he hides under a

vehicle

and then his brother pulls up and he

says hey has anybody seen my brother

and they're like no he's not he's not

here and he's like all right well you

tell him i'm looking for him

and then he leaves and then the bro and

then turk gets up and he's like

hey how's it going and they were like

your brother was looking for you like

yeah i

i know you told me you warned me and

then i hid

and then i unhid and you watched all of

that happen

so i don't know why you're presenting

this like it's new information

but instead he says he's looking for me

he's looking for me

that pussy's looking for me the uh the

iron box twins

as these girls are referred to

repeatedly they're in the bathroom

and they're talking but somehow newbomb

had the presence of mind to

psychically predict that they would say

embarrassing things so he went into the

bathroom first

and sat on a toilet and set up a

recording device so he could record them

right spreading gossip and of course

immediately they talk about how gross he

is

which i feel like is the only thing that

would ever get set in this bathroom

and then they start talking about a girl

who had an abortion and gave the

football team the clap

and then he steps out of the stall and

he says that was the iron box twins

talking to you live on my fake radio

program

and then he walks out of the bathroom

and they yell at him the cops are there

again

just being annoying i guess i don't know

why they're there they're back at

tubby's

someone shouts hey what time is it and

newbomb's response whenever someone says

what time is it

is to turn around and throw a burger as

fast as he can

and so he does that and it hits a cop

right in the face

and then he has to blow the guy again

probably so that's the fourth time

tonight but seriously he's been a race

he's been arrested like four times

tonight because he doesn't like get away

from them he throws the burger

it's like no he that's the fourth time

now that these cops have caught you dead

to rights

i don't understand why they keep just

letting you out

so they can catch you again we cut to

cars racing down the boulevard

and the cops tell them to pull over so

the cop car pulls up

to a left-hand turn lane and one of the

police gets out of the police car

and then the car continues to turn left

onto the side street

and the cop that he left in the middle

of the street says to the car that they

wanted to pull over

pull around this corner to the left like

that other like the police car did

and then they're like okay and then they

just drive straight

and the cop has he's completely

powerless this was

a terrible maneuver for pulling someone

over is to turn off the road and just

assume that they're going to do what you

ask

they continue driving new bomb is in the

car with

a guy named tarzan and these two chicks

that he brought tarzan is like this

blonde surfer dude

new bum just jams his hand into this

girl's crotch

while he's driving and so she dumps her

vanilla shake on his face

and he almost crashes the car then he

teleports to

the dance where he's suddenly dressed in

like a full suit and tie

and he intercepts the caterers and he

tells them

i'll take that punch barrel you need to

drive this

van through the garden and just destroy

as many plants as you can

and tell them new bomb turks sent you

yep

and instead of just staying on street

and driving around the building like

literally anyone would have done these

guys are like well he said to do this so

i guess we'll drive through the garden

and destroy the garden

they take the barrel of punch and they

set it down and

four of the knights pee into it i think

i hope to god

[Laughter]

because jess suggested they just might

be making a

mix of tea they might be

yeah because they said well they'll say

later

that my dick was in there yeah and so

it's like are you just dipping because

if you're just dipping

no one's gonna taste that you gotta do

something to this

mix but repeatedly but they also say

before they do this that they're gonna

spike the punch

that's true that's true but repeatedly

uh what's her face mrs friedman mrs

friedman is saying

i know that taste like more time i've

had this taste in my mouth

yeah whatever has been mixed into this

punch sometimes it's in my mouth

i hope it's not embarrassing later it

would be really weird if

some sort of drink had been in my mouth

before like why did she say it that way

unless she was unexpectedly like

drinking something that wasn't

normally in your mouth but like right

it's punch

yeah they wouldn't taste it if they were

just dick dipping

they're not bobbing with nuts right but

let's imagine

that any other liquid was in

was put into this punch would you say

i've had this taste in my mouth before

yes i would but that's my own

personality

yeah you wouldn't just be like that's a

familiar flavor yeah

no but the way she says it makes much

more sense i feel like someone's paid me

to put this flavor in my mouth before

anyway and they uh they start handing

the punch around to everybody like

drink this tell me if it tastes like

something weird and new bombs outside

trying to warn them against it

apparently yeah like aren't you supposed

to wait until the party's over and then

tell everyone they drank your piss well

no

just shout at the window that's my dick

my dick is in that cup somehow

he literally had one of the guys stand

by the entrance and

only tell the students at the dance

don't drink the punch don't drink the

punch and like as any adults came in he

just didn't say anything

but he definitely didn't get the word

out to everyone right

and the and the guy at the door is also

saying to the cops oh try some punch

and when the cops go over to the counter

mrs freeman's like

try this tell me if it tastes like

something you've drank for money and

then the cop

takes a sip and he says it does have a

little wang in it

good though dudley is now inexplicably

in a magician costume yeah

headed to a talent contest scheduled the

same night as the

dance and rally and neighborhood watch

meeting well it's at the dance

it's at the dance yeah he's going to the

dance to entertain people there's so

much going on why does dudley have three

costume changes

which trick should i do mother they're

all so good

some girls pull dudley aside and flash

him

to paralyze him and take his costume and

he's 100 cool with this

yeah like they should have just done

this the first time it's like is that

you getting new bump yeah

okay be careful with the cape it's

rental

it's very a very melted like character

yeah

don't forget about me because i'm a

little scared

and i was like oh dad loved this guy

but yeah so now we're back at the dance

slash talent show uh where the

audio of the iron box twins talking

about an abortion plays

over the in-house speakers the whole

audience thinks this is hilarious that

this girl has been outed for her

abortion

and for giving the entire football team

the clap and her dad hears the recording

and says that's my daughter they're

talking about and it's just the funniest

thing that anybody here has ever heard

jack friedman is again on stage

introducing a one-armed

violinist this is the third act that he

has introduced tonight that has gone

horrifically wrong and horrifically

right

because there's an old german guy who

seems very happy with

know if he's happy with it or not he's

having trouble reading him

he's not happy he's like he's just in

awe it's actually i'm not even mad

that's amazing yeah i think he enjoyed

the cheerleader performance i'm not sure

if he enjoyed this one

so a knight comes out and sort of

pinches a violin between his chin and

his shoulder

and just rubs the bow back and forth

yeah with nonsense music but then when

he finishes the performance

he brings the bow down and then grabs it

with his prehis

other hand

his prehensile dick it's not even a hand

this

this is one of the knights that doesn't

have another arm but his dick has

knuckles

and that's when the german goes it's

impressive he was able to grab it with

his dick

yes in reality this knight is just has

his arm down his

shirt and is reaching through his fly to

grab it everyone is

disgusted but cheering also no one here

is disappointed with the performance

well you know it's not the size that

matters it's how many joints it has

yeah that's what they said why they call

it a boner

[Laughter]

i need to call a doctor

somebody stole my bones

is that what you do you call a doctor

for bone theft

i don't know

or is that uh do you call that boniva

i think that's what he called theft

yeah but so uh even though it seems like

this performance was

was a hit uh jack friedman tells

everyone to stop applauding

because he's angry about what happened

um we cut to mrs friedman and nevin

having sex in the car again but now

they're slowly drifting out of the car

while they have sex

and onto inexplicably a trampoline

that's just been left

in the grass in front of the school so

they climb up onto the trampoline to

have sex

dudley's wandering through he doesn't

have his glasses because they were part

of his magician costume i guess

and he bumps their car door and closes

it so he locks all their clothes in

their car

and then he goes to talk to them i think

this time he actually realizes that he's

interrupting them

during sex yeah but he's coitus

interruptus yes

but now he's just like oh look we're all

in her underwear isn't that funny it

almost sounded like he was inviting

himself to join them

um

back at the dance a girl is now singing

this is

a niece of one of the producers of the

film fran's fancy boyfriend

is not funny enough for her he has

barely farted any songs tonight

and so she tells him to go away

and uh just be smart somewhere else you

jerk and she invites turk to a party at

her home

we cut to her backyard where people are

skinny dipping in a pool and

just making out with each other all over

the place the two of them

are in her car parked in the garage

she's inviting him to the back of the

car

for sex when he ejaculates prematurely

in the front seat yeah

then we cut to oh there's nothing more

to the scene no it's

it's so great because they get an

argument he's like you know what

you know what i'm glad i came i'm glad

that i came

it's like it's such a weird argument

yeah

yeah and it's it's funny because it

could mean like he came or

he's glad that he came to the party yeah

we moved back to

uh shrimpies what's the what's this

no the car smitty's smitty's there you

go

smitty's we go back to smitty's where

the guys at the shop are unveiling

jimmy's car which he just got tuned up

and a new paint job and they also throw

in an eight-track player as a going away

present because he's off to die

he's very excited about it tony danza

like pokes fun at the car like what

color is that piss yellow

and then tony nancy who's in there says

that's tony nancy yellow but we had to

back it up because at first we were like

did he just say it's tony danza yellow

like what does that mean first why are

you using the actor's name and

yellow what but um but he says tony

nancy because that's his name and he

actually fixes up cars

yeah so i think he's a a famous like

drag

yeah he's a hot racer sure yeah but yeah

so they uh they put this eight track

player in the car and he sits and

listens to a song on it he's very

excited

the pledges interrupt the doo-wop group

as they're walking away from the dj

booth

they're in all in dresses that they've

stolen off of clotheslines

why not just go into the booth at this

point i don't know you're like two

feet away from it do people not need to

dry men's clothes

too like couldn't there have been pants

somewhere but

they're all in like full dresses that

you're assuming that guy's

clothes need to be washed oh that's true

this is 65.

but they stop the do-op group and they

say hey we got to play this song

at two o'clock and you got to say

something about the hollywood knights

can you please do it for us

and they're like sure if you smoke some

of our weed

it's like what why would you that

happened

okay thank you sure if that's the if

that's the

toll the cops give turk a hard time

about the el camino back at tubbies

as revenge he's he says out loud hey

right about now is when the fat cop goes

to take a dump like he keeps track of

this

he writes it down like he knows when the

skinny guy is going to go see

lawrence lawrence of arabia and he knows

when the fat guy is going to take a dump

so he's going to poop next let's uh

destroy the bathroom right before he

goes in there

i i can see him as a butt

stench expert yes so that that does

check out he honed his craft

for a long time uh and then so they go

and flush two full rolls of toilet paper

uh down the drain at the only toilet at

toby's

the cop wanders in exactly on cue oh but

not before

clark asks him how he would look with a

mustache and then

uh bimbo is hilarious he says you would

you'd look perfect and he's like oh yeah

and he says yeah you'd look like a

perfect horse's ass

get it because he thought that he was

gonna say perfect

and then not anything after that like

when he asked him

just just less than an hour before then

for some weird reason

he draws one on yes yeah

like i don't understand why would that

be a good idea in

any situation for you to be out in

public be like you know what

i'm going to take a magic marker and

draw some lines on my face

people are just going to assume that new

bomb did that to you so the fat cop goes

to take a dump

the they barricade the yeah they bury

the door with garbage

yeah someone takes a screwdriver to the

door like they're doing something to the

door to make it not open

and then they dump a bunch of trash on

the floor which looks like mostly like

wet cheeseburgers like dipped in ranch

or something

they're like it's like really really

messy garbage food garbage is the worst

yeah so he goes to flush the toilet and

it's overflowing and he can't get out

and he starts shouting to clark in the

car and clark comes running around

he draws his gun and he says stand back

which is like i don't know what that

means if i'm on the other side of this

wall it's like

i'm gonna shoot through the wall stand

where i'm not aiming my gun

it's like i don't know which way you're

pointing what do you mean stand back

if i back up a few feet if you're

pointing that direction the bullet's

still going to hit me

he fires a bunch of bullets through the

door and at this point bimbo is so angry

that he charges out of the door

and falls across all the garbage even

though the door opens

into the bathroom so he would have had

to pull it in notice the trash

but somehow he doesn't and he falls in

the trash and it's hilarious

they try to leave dudley gets in front

of their car

and pretends that they hit him with the

car

and then they're like oh no are you okay

and then he and then they

suggest that they're going to put a

night stick in his mouth to help him

breathe

or to do cpr like they don't know how to

do cpr because they're just cops

um and so he just stands up and says

never mind i'm fine

and so then they try to leave and they

crash into another car leaving the

parking lot

tony danza sits down with michelle

pfeiffer and i'm not gonna refer to

these characters by their

names i'm just gonna go with the actors

um he tells them that he's

he's not worried that she's not going to

make it but he's worried that she will

make it

and that she will leave him that's the

plan and she says

yep you can stay on tv i'm going to be

in movies

the pledges arrive at 2am right as their

song

is playing on the radio and everyone's

really excited about it

uh smitty tells jimmy that it's okay to

be scared

and jimmy tells smitty that he's been

like a father to him

we're wrapping up everybody's stories uh

dudley

calls his mom but dudley also gets a

jacket right

yes and then he goes to a pay phone he

calls his mom and he says

mother i have an assignation with a

young lady tonight

i am going to explore the boundaries of

my manhood

oh i see dear father i'm going to get

laid

you're going to be a little late

the past i'm going to screw someone

and then she dies and then we

uh the kids moon the cops and start a

chase

the cops as they're speeding around a

corner crash into

another car that mrs friedman and nevin

are having sex in

and it's parked outside her house this

time so her husband comes out with his

wig on sideways

and she's trying to explain why she's

naked with nevin

on the sidewalk outside of their home

the kids pull back up uh in the car that

they've been mooning from all night and

moon mrs friedman

and this really terrible song starts

playing

that is clearly original to the film

because the song is called hollywood

nights

[Music]

they drive me crazy

[Music]

but when the piano first started playing

i recognized it immediately

and started singing the other lyrics i

know to this piano score

which it turns out this is the piano

score that is sampled in the nappy roots

song good day

have you heard this song before yeah

it's like a bunch of kids voices over

the

doom

yeah we're gonna have a good day i was

just very surprised to hear it in this

movie and then when i looked it up it's

like oh they literally sampled it from

the hollywood knights soundtrack that's

so bizarre

i wanted to talk about a couple of the

connections to american graffiti which i

also watched in preparation for this

report

lay it on me um

we're centered around a diner with car

hops for most of the night

uh we have a soundtrack of largely 50s

and 60s music

all the classics a lot of beach boys in

both movies

we have these radio dj interstitials

there's dr j

in this movie and we have wolfman jack

yeah and american graffiti

someone refers to a car as being piss

yellow which

harrison ford refers to a car as being

piss yellow twice

in american graffiti and then someone

says it here because this is nine years

later

and there's wasn't home video yet so

they were like oh it's fine we could

just reuse a joke from another movie no

one remembers that movie

didn't spawn a television series yeah

nobody remembers it

and uh there's also a scene where uh

someone orders two cherry cokes which is

probably just normal for the 60s anyway

that's the end of the film guys we

didn't mention how they saved

the diner because they didn't because

they didn't save the diner

they didn't save it it's still closing

and everything is not great because all

these people one guy's going off to

vietnam

they're talking about the future like

everything's gonna change

and it's like oh man this is actually

kind of a sad

ending to this movie yeah but i think

it's the same as american graffiti

but dudley's a hollywood night now so

it's a happy ending and he's going to

get laid

but he just doesn't know how that works

i think they showed a lot of reservation

in not putting an epilogue up for each

character on screen and just being 100

a remake of american graffiti but this

was directed by floyd mutrucks

who uh in his spare time is probably

medicine for cold um he was a producer

on dick tracy and he wrote blood and

blood out which actually really liked

that movie

he wrote this movie together with

richard letterer

who uh was a producer on exorcist 2

and he also wrote maverick but not

not the newer maverick he wrote the 1960

maverick

and bill tennant who also has a story

credit on this

was a producer on a couple cleopatra

jones movies

and also the pursuit of db cooper yeah

um in 1981 so we'll be covering that

next year

oh that db cooper we should pursue him

he's got a lot of money uh he's dead

oh well maybe by now he's dead

now i'm going to move through the

credits in alphabetical order by last

name for some reason

uh mike binder or binder was one of the

pledges

he also directed blank man and he wrote

and directed

reign over me which is that don cheadle

adam sandler 911 movie

and he was an ep on ray donovan if

that's still on i don't know

i think it might be over with but i hear

i heard it was good who knows

tk carter was one of the doo whoppers he

plays nulls in the thing

yeah he's a monster voice in space jam

and he plays lenny in my favorite

martian

so okay i'm not the best with knowing

the names of actors

or or anything like that usually i could

describe to you something that i know

people from

two times in this movie i'm like i

really

really know this face and i have no

idea what from until i looked up his

imdb

and that was tk carter that was tv

carter he was

the teacher from punky brewster and he

was a regular on the show

yes that's awesome he was mike

um we have tony danza here playing duke

he plays tony on taxi he played

tony on who's the boss he was also john

senior

in don john that uh jogo movie

and he's also uh the pitcher in angels

in the outfield

also with jogo jogo of course being a

derogatory term for joseph gordon-levitt

um fran drescher was sally she was in

gorp

uhf the nanny beautician and the beast

she's wonderful

we don't blame her for this movie lee

french was jacqueline friedman

she'll play a prehistoric woman in

history of the world part one

and gary's mother in halloween two gary

goodrow

plays jack friedman here he wrote honey

i blew up the kid

or honey i blew up the baby is that what

that one is um

the third installment of that franchise

he also was apparently a tv reporter and

hero at large

he has a recognizable face but i don't

remember him from that um

sandy hellberg was officer clark uh he's

dr

schlotkin in spaceballs and

for a second i thought he directed

mortal kombat but he plays a director

in mortal kombat ah probably on the set

of john cage

because he's on set at the beginning

when he gets his invitation to the fight

ken hixson plays dark i don't know who

dark is

but he also plays a director in the

movie mr mom

he wrote inventing the abbotts city by

the sea

welcome to the rileys and the sequel to

the angelina jolie movie unbroken

okay so a lot of people moving behind

the camera from this cast

art lefleur is thomas here uh he plays

the babe

in the sand lot he uh this was his first

feature

um and he'll be back later this year for

any which way you can he plays a guard

in war games

he's captain sears in cobra and he plays

the tooth fairy in the santa claus

franchise

he's in the second and third

installments we got

glad he wasn't the tooth fairy in the

hannibal lecter electorate

our next credit did you look into this

guy at all which one

humble harv miller no okay don't

please don't i want to tell you this

right now humble harv miller

played dr j uh he's credited here is

harvey miller

he's an actual los angeles dj i'm going

to read you the first paragraph of his

l.a times obituary

okay veteran radio dj humble harv miller

whose six decade career was forever

marred by the shooting death of his wife

in 1971

for which he pled guilty went to prison

and then resumed his place behind the

microphone for 40 plus years

died tuesday in camarillo

his wife serena miller confirmed he was

84.

so this guy what year did he die uh i

don't know

but he killed his wife in 71 went to

jail

was out of jail in time to be in this

movie in 1980

he died just last year and he died last

year

in camarillo that's insane

i was like wait that guy that was like

super chill on the radio the whole time

that was like

we probably rented movies to him

probably he probably came into our

blockbuster

but that blew my mind when i read that

whole paragraph like i thought it was

crazy enough in the first sentence and

then when it ended in camarillo i was

like oh my god what the hell

we have tony nancy in this film playing

himself um

he was a famous hot rodder who had a

shop on ventura boulevard in the valley

and he would have been 15 years younger

when this movie takes place because he's

playing himself so it's weird to play

yourself in a period film

but he did it uh stuart pankan

played dudley laywicker um he'll be back

later this year in hangar 18.

um he plays mr james in mannequin on the

move

he's the voice of earl sinclair on

dinosaurs

he's also commander planck in xenon girl

of the 21st century

also xenon the sequel and

xenon z3 really good for him

yeah i am gonna mention every credit for

xenon girl of the 21st century that we

encounter

p.r paul played simpson not sure who

that was

he took over the role of montgomery

mcneil for the famed tv series

that was the guy that played the the

mean doctor on er

yes he played that guy's character on

the fame tv show

okay so he i think he is just one of the

knights

um joe marie payton is credited here as

black lady

i'm assuming she's one of a group of

women who walked past the doo whoppers

just outside the radio station she

played harriet winslow

for seasons one through eight of family

matters and was unceremoniously replaced

in season nine with julian

elder uh she was the whole reason that

the show existed in the first place

after appearing in two seasons of

perfect strangers when her character was

spun off into the series family matters

i didn't know those two shows were

related yep yeah so they dumped the

connective tissue

from this show to that season nine is

also totally bizarre and i thoroughly

recommend a podcast called

family chatters if you want to hear

people analyze

the insanity that is family matter

season 9.

like every episode is jumping the shark

yes that like

urkel in space urkel time traveling

it's bonkers there's also a halloween

episode with a

a dummy also played by urkel uh

i love the the key and pill sketch

where one of them is supposed to be

reginald johnson

coming to complain about a script or

something well he's like he's

complaining this used to be about me and

my family

it's about the neighbors in the next

episode steve urkel turns carl

into a giant sandwich and accidentally

eats him

oh wait that's hilarious but it's

hilarious come on i'm an actor gene

this was supposed to be about me and my

family no but you know after that after

that first

death spot with steve urkel i mean

america fell in love with him man we had

to make him a regular and

you know hey listen he's the star of the

show now sweetheart we gotta play ball

bubba

don't you dare bubble up me gene

uh i i also feel that reginald johnson's

character on that show was just spun off

from die hard or ghostbusters

uh yeah cause it's like he's he's a cop

character and everything he's just

with the exception of crocodile dundee

in which he is a chauffeur right

we have michelle pfeiffer here as susie

q she plays janet van dyne and ant-man

two

and end game um she's also in greece two

scarface catwoman i think catwoman is

probably

no yeah she played catwoman

played catwoman yes she isn't actually

catwoman yeah

uh dimitri phillips was newbomb's

brother

he is unremarkable

he looks like charlie rocket kind of to

me like a young charlie rocket

uh gaylord sartain

uh played bimbo he was the big bopper in

the buddy holly story

and he is in earnest goes to camp saves

christmas and goes to jail

yeah so this was the other instance of a

i know this guy

i really really really know this guy but

i could not tell you what it was from

until i looked it up

but this is the guy who in all the in

those three earnest movies

has like the the skinny old guy sidekick

partner oh that's always like

shutting his lower jaw yeah yeah

exactly so they're they're in all of

these movies together but they don't

they don't play the same characters over

and over they just happen to be in all

of the earnest movies

okay um we have al white here as lewis

he plays the second jive dude in

airplane so we'll have him later this

year

he also came back to play a witness in

airplane two

and he's credited as dad in back to the

future too

i i know who that is who is that uh so

back to the future two when they when

they travel

back to 1985 they don't realize that

they're in the alternate

1985 the one from the timeline that

split from the 55. so they go and knock

on the door

well uh marty goes to what he believes

to be his house

right and he jumps into his window into

his bed but there's a

preteen girl in there and the dad thinks

that it's someone trying to rape his

daughter

and he comes in there with a bet man

that franchise is full of good

old-fashioned family

fun robert wool is new bomb turk here

is there a name that's spelled

differently that sounds like this

i've never heard of anyone named new

bomb and

his name is spelled phonetically

n-e-w-b-o-m

i don't know is that a thing is that a

nickname well i think

that newbomb is actually his last name

but his brother's last name is also turk

we call his brother because they're

they're the new bomb is the name of

their

family business new bomb like baked

goods or something like maybe he's

newbomb junior or something

well like i would have imagined that

there's a name like new bomb spelled

like

n-e-u-a-u-m yeah

but not as a first name and they call

both of them turk they call him and his

brother both turk

so i don't i don't get it um he was

alexander knox in batman

which is kind of like the albert brooks

from taxi driver character but he's

great in that

and he also came back to reprise that

role for crisis on infinite earths

yeah just recently he's also marty in

good morning vietnam

and then halfway through the movie

you're like is that arless and i was

like oh yeah he is ours

yeah never seen an episode of our list

in my life yeah apparently he's that

character but i know

i know that he is arless yes that's all

i know about him

yeah um he also uh plays a really

fun character because the movie's so

bizarre and uh but i highly recommend it

uh the movie cobb in which tommy lee

jones plays former baseball player ty

cobb

who's being interviewed by robert wall

as an old man

and you just just find out it's this

kind of like weird descent and just

craziness because ty cobb is just so

evil and horrible like the most famous

baseball [ __ ] yeah it's just weird

spending time with him

yeah it's really amazing performance by

tommy lee jones

uh and we also have eric christmas here

as mr katzenberg i think he must have

been

at the dance upset at the people for

driving through the

through the garden and ruining

everything but we just had him in the

changeling

he was the assistant husband to the

medium

that was like tearing out the pages as

she was scribbling away

and he's the priest in herald and mod

and he also plays a priest in cheers

also died in cameroon no way really

wow in 2000 though yeah we had someone

else die here too

like in our house like a hundred feet

away apparently yeah no it was uh

that was in little darling yeah little

darlings so it's like oh my goodness

camarillo is where everyone comes today

yeah that's why i'm here

jess up or down uh

i'm gonna go down on this one richard

whoa

uh yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna give it a

down yeah um

i i feel like this movie

could have been pretty good

if you removed like three story lines

focused you're gonna say three

characters well yeah that's

that's it like because there's like the

jimmy plot which is really somber and

sad he's going off to vietnam he's

scared

of about going and we as the audience

are scared for him because we know how

bad the vietnam thing is going to get

and then there's you know some of the

other characters just kind of like

hanging out and

having like their own like kind of

little issues which is fine

but then just all the dick and fart

jokes don't fit

yeah newborn turk at the same time he's

trying to play

the dreyfus character from american

graffiti

and john belushi from animal house yeah

and you can't be both of those people

it's something like american graffiti

did better and

even much later richard linklater is

dazing confused

which i think takes place in the 70s

right but it's a very similar concept of

just following these groups of kids

who are dealing with this upcoming

changes of their life

yeah and i like robert wool but i think

he was miscast here

i don't even know if i think he was

miscast i think that that the character

was miswritten

yeah i think this this character

shouldn't have been like this you can

have

a zany kind of like character but he has

to have some kind of other substance to

him which he does not

yeah and it it doesn't make sense that

anyone would be friends with this guy to

let alone attract it to him

when all he does is run around and

shout obscene things at people and fart

into people's cars well

sometimes high school girls are dumb

yeah but

with the other guys that were around

here he's the one he just looks like an

idiot he doesn't

he doesn't look like he's funny or that

he's winning or embarrassing anybody

he just looks like a he looks like a

special needs kid that everyone just

puts up with

it's not necessary to check this one out

although it did

strike me as uh crazy that the

soundtrack for this would have inspired

a nappy root song for the

song good day it's just so weird that

they would pull it from this movie like

it must have just been on

cable one day and they were like i kind

of like that piano beat and that was

that was the impetus of a song other

than that i would say there's no reason

to watch this

richard where's this going letterboxed

um i'm gonna put this just below

friday the 13th which is just above to

all goodnight

okay right between those two jess what

are we looking at

uh so this one isn't terribly high for

me it

just barely does not make the windows

threshold

okay it is just below windows for me um

which is about maybe two-thirds down my

list and just above

don't go in the house okay mine is also

below the windows threshold for my list

i think this goes above nijinsky

but below a small circle of friends

that's

how annoying i would rank this i think

that's everything we have for this one

next time when we'll be discussing

effects

which imdb summarizes like so

some crew members of a company shooting

a horror film begin to suspect that the

killings in the movie are real

and that they are actually making a

snuff film

does not happen no i have uh yeah that's

right i have criticism

yeah so i like just reading you a

premise that's not what the next movie's

about

and then just blaming it on something

when i could have written an actual

premise

but uh we leave you now with the trailer

for

effects is there a trailer

i probably i don't know if there's not

just show the trailer for the movie fx

i'm just gonna play you a promo from the

short-lived channel fx

[Laughter]

which is still around is it i don't know

now it's fxx

is it is it the same channel i don't

know anyway justify was great

f x

dammit you get those lights please

now if you put this under her skirt are

we really going to make the audience

believe that it is her leg

sure on the cut after she's knocked down

yeah all right what about the blood

what about it was there enough why

that's the way it would read it with a

razor cut down there nobody is going to

believe

a spirit of blood don't believe anything

we show them

okay stand by i got speed

speed slater celeste

you make your living creating and

photographing special effects couldn't

those have been special effects

maybe it's not real no no that was real

something's wrong mommy

look real to me play it again all right

we start here right

he slashes at her repeatedly huh she

drags herself up the stairs

blood flows it starts slow at first but

then it builds up to a frenzy

pitch you should be filming this right

sometimes i think he's really going to

come at me with that razor

now am i screaming anything intelligible

or only till i cut your throat

slice your mouth off now he's laughing

at you like a lunatic

he's cursing at you but somehow you

managed to get up to that closet

uh yeah you'd be saying something like

uh arthur why

uh you're killing me uh you bastard

okay get ready

and a fade to black

did you get it
