- Yeah, no, I think rabbit hole,like Wonderland, like you just gone,I think I've always said wormhole.- I think both are fine.- There's probably people driving,listening to this podcast, going,what the, why is he saying wormhole?- Yeah, does Jonas listen?'Cause he's definitely be yelling at the,it's rabbit hole.- Yes.- Yeah, Jonas would love this podcast.- Scooner is a sailor. - He did a messaging.- Yeah, let him know.I always forget to.- Also, if anybody else wants to check out Patreon,we just released the 1989 Tim Burton Batman,and we're about to release by the time this episode comes out,we will have released any of the Jones in the last year.- You're safe, that was so fun.- Yeah, it's got it so good.And so we're trying to get crank out some more Patreon1989 movies while Jeff is off school for the summer.- Yeah.- Probably coming up, feel the dreams, uncle blocks,and stuff like that from 1989.But we'll be doing that.All right, dude, I got, I wanted to line up a guest for us.I reached out to a couple people from the movie,it wasn't able to do it.But I did find someone pretty good,die hard Cubs fan.- What?- In turn Mike Jones.- Oh no, Mike Jones.- Hey.- What is going on?- What's up yo?- Dude you were in a Cubs hat.- I know for the movie.- How did you have one? Did you go by one?- I did, I love the Cubs.- Okay.- Wait Jones, did you, you didn't see Terminator 2?Nope.But you have seen this movie.Yes.Long time ago.Was this one of the high points that being a Cubs fan?No.2016, right?That was the high point.Yep.Yeah.Yeah.Yeah.My life, anyway, like maybe 1908 had--[INAUDIBLE]--and into this movie, they did win the World Series.So I feel like as a Cubs fan in the '90s,this was maybe one of the high points.It was kind of like a mockery of like, what would happen?Yeah.Right.Yeah, you needed a medical miracle and a sixth grader to pitch you to the pitch to the World Series.- And then to get a guy stuck between the doors,between two rooms, stuck like...- Not a guy, but Brickmuff,put some respect on Brickmuff's name.- Yeah, yeah.- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.- No, dude, that is so great that you're here.I've missed talking to Mike Jones, this is awesome.- Thank you.I appreciate that.- Mike, you're finishing up a year, two of your internship.How are you feeling so far?- Yes, I feel like I've contributed very little.Yeah Commensurate with your pay, which is also very little yeah It's exactly I did even with I did till Jt. I thought about trying to get like burp Bill Murray or somebody on the show and As far as I got yeah, yeah, just talking about it dude just thought about it put it on your put it on your wish board Yeah, and see if I'm gonna do this I'm on a boss. Yeah- Ah, that's freaking great.So dude, how much do you like this movie?Can we ask my Jones where he rates it?- Yeah.- Yeah.- Three two, maybe three?- Four.- Is it because they win the World Series and it makes you feel--- I didn't like the kid.As I remember, like looking back,like I just wanted to punch him the whole time.- Yeah, that's a thing.- He had a pretty punchable face for a kid.Yeah.Wait, Jones, I gotta ask you this'cause you like baseball still.Why are baseball movies so much better than real baseball?'cause it includes locker room hijinks,which I think is really fun.- Yeah, I guess, man.But like, I was the field stuff.Yeah.I can make a list of 10 amazing baseball movies,and I've been to 50 baseball games,and I've never had a good time not as any one of them.- You've never had a good time at a baseball game?- I have, but never during the baseball.No, we went to the Astros game,Me, You, Jeff, and Will,and we had like $18 hot dogs,and we ate all that hot dogs.So that part was awesome, but who won that game?Jones, do you remember?- The cup.course you don't because it didn't matter at all.What you remember is that we ate 18 hot dogs.Like it doesn't the game doesn't matter at all.The other thing I remember in Houston was snake, aka Rob Schwamm.Yeah. And I went to a game when we were interns like actual real interns.Real interns doing real stuff.So Sammy, so say hello, run.So I remember one of the game, but I remember that.Yeah. Yes, snakes snakes wife Molly is a faithful listener to the podcast.- Snakes.- I don't think knows how to do podcasts,but everyone's wanting to tell you what,he'll text me and say like,"Molly, maybe listen to your podcast, it was awesome."(laughing)- Made?- Yeah, made.- He had to be forced to.- Yeah, I think like she was driving the car and he was stuck in it.(laughing)- Dude, how many people tell me that?They're like, "Yeah, I do listen to your podcast'cause my husband made me listen to it."It's pretty funny.I was like, "Oh man, so sorry."- I download every one of them.I wouldn't say that I've listened to everyone.- No, you do, man.- But I download them.- You're doing the important thing, down the line.- Really appreciate that.- Really appreciate it.- Wait, Mike, what's your all time favorite baseball movie?- How about top three?- As a kid it was the natural.- Oh, dude, such a good one.Have you watched it though since you grew up?- I have not watched it probably since, yeah,early 80s or late 80s, maybe it was the last time I watched it.- Dude, it's a way different movie.'Cause you're thinking like, oh, it hit the lights and he's running under the sparks.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- He hit the upper deck and the polo grants and it broke the clock or some, you're thinking of all that And that is a small part of the movie, dude.It's so different.It's really good.- Yeah.- You should watch it.- Yeah, feel the dreams.I also remember in the natural when he made the bat out of the tree that got hit.- Oh yeah.- That was a cool thing.I like, I've always thought as a kid,like, yeah, I could just go cut down a tree and make a bat and be like, yeah, it's gonna be easy.- You wanna know why he was able to do that?'Cause it was the incomparable Robert Redford.(laughing)I love Robert Redford.All right, so natural and feel the dreams.- Feel the dreams.It's gotta be in there and then I think Major League,you gotta get the comedy out of you too.- Does Sandlot make the cut anywhere in the top 10?No bull Durham.- Who bull Durham?- Sandlot, they're gonna be in there,but I don't think they're top three.I think I'm gonna stick my top three.- Yeah, I put Bull Durham in over field of dreams if I gotta pick a Kevin Costner baseball movie'cause Bull Durham's freaking hilarious.What's the third Kevin Costner movie?There's one where he's the pitcher.- For Love of the Game.- For Love of the Game.- And that's where you're the mechanism.- Yes, yes.That's a romantic comedy masquerading as a baseball movie.That's fine with me.Yeah, except they forgot the comedy part.That's why it's better than an actual baseball game, though.I kind of want that hat.Can I come steal that hat?I'm so sick.Dude, I'm gonna find where I got it and then I'm gonna get your address and I'm gonna send you one.It'd be your first payment for two years of intern.Right, we still gotta do the live show.One day.And steal your hat.When my kids move out, so 15 years you know,- Yes.- And I'll be awesome, we'll be doing movies from 2008.- Oh my gosh.- We'll be doing the hangover.- Oof, that's a good one.- It is a good one.Very highly inappropriate.(laughing)- We're never gonna make it.- Thank you, never gonna live long off Smeak 2008 or?- All of the above, yes.- Yes, all of that.- Jeff's convinced he's on Dev's store,even though he's only 45.- 44, I'll be 45 in August.- Yeah, in like three weeks.And like, yeah dude, 99 will do the matrix.It's like, not gonna make it.It's not gonna make it six years.What are you talking about?(laughing)- Dude, I might.- I've been stretching, I've been drinking a lot of water.- All right Jones, what else you got for us anything?Any message for the podcast?We haven't heard from you in a year.- That's up in that one?- I don't know, I can't remember.- I feel like I haven't worked a lot on the podcast.(laughing)- Long nights.Staying up late, doing that.- Yeah. - I do a lot of the behind the scenes where-- - Yeah.- Yeah, down in the salt mines,working on the podcast behind the scenes.- I got nothing.I can't think of anything for wise to say.- Have you seen Jurassic Park?That's the biggest movie this year, $900 million.- I mean, I saw it back in the day.I haven't watched it again because--- Okay, but you did see it at one point in time.- Yes, I have seen it at one point in time.- Okay, it's the one about dinosaurs.(laughing)I don't think I've seen all the Chris Pratt ones.- You're not missing anything.- I just wanna make sure that Dustin knows that you did see Jurassic Park at some point.(laughing)- All right Jones, good to see you, buddy.- All right. - Just to email you a hat.Later, dude.- See you guys in your fire.- Thanks.(laughing)- Freakin' Jones, I love Jones.- Yeah, that guy has a tattoo of the Chicago Cubs.So I thought for sure he would really like this movie,but turns out he's, he did not take it at all.- Here's like three, four, maybe, I don't, that's it.- That's great.- I thought he was gonna say this was an amazing moment as a Cubist fan, but he didn't like it at all.- No, you know what, to be honest,I could kinda see that.- Yeah.I just liked how when you wrote this movie,you could only have it be the Cubs,'cause there's like nobody in the stadium,the team's terrible.It's like how can we make this movie 18 months from now that we're sure when we film it,they'll still be terrible.It's like, oh, well, it's gonna be the Cubs.- Yeah, did you see how they actually filmed some of those wriggly field shots between a double header?- Yeah, yeah, that's great.- Yeah, dude, I love when they do that.Everybody's already there for a game and for the Cubs fans, it's like not really there.Just a couple of people are there and it's okay.Before the next game starts, we're gonna film Daniel Stern's gonna be out there.The kids gonna be out there.Yeah, and they're like, you had to chant like a "We Want Henry" and all the Cardinals fans were saying "We Want Ozzy."So they kept having to go, "All right, cut."[laughter]It's very good.I like that. That's a good way to do it.All right, for real though, I don't understand why baseball movies are so much better than other sports movies.There's something about baseball that lends itself to the medium of film and I don't know what it is.Do you have any theories? Yeah, I do. So I think Jones is right. Not only is it the off-the-field stuff is nice to see.When was the last time you sat there for the whole two and a half hours and you only got through one baseball game?Like it's sped up and like every time you know The guy's up to bat and he swings and he misses and he steps back out of the batter's box and he does his Velcro and his thing, he checks his chain,he spits a couple of times, he straightens out his jacket and then he gets back up there and gets ready to hit again.Like we didn't see all that.We were like inside Kevin Koster's head here and him going clear the mechanism and watching that kind of stuff happen.So I think that's what, 'cause I'm with you.I love baseball movies.- I think that's an important part of it.I think the fact that baseball is played without a clock is an important part of it because it allows you to build tension.I think the other thing that I came up with that I think is an important part of it is that baseball is really an individual sport masquerading as a team sport.It's the pitcher versus the batter,but really there's also a bunch of other people there.So you can have stuff where it's like everybody comments,like what, we need live chicken, live chicken,cannoes six make a nice gift.All right, let's get to,like you can have the scenes with the whole ensemble,but then it's just back to like crash and nuke just to people or whatever.But you can also do like, you're saying like,build dramatic tension where the guys like steps out of the batter's box.They messes with his gloves and we go to the announcers and they say something.- Right.- By the way, there is a clock now though.There's a pitching clock.- Another is.- Yeah.- Praise Buddha, it's long overdue.- Yeah, I'm saying like.- Step it up, make it even shorter than that.- But football and basketball are sports that I like way, way more than baseball,but there's not nearly as many good football and basketball movies.What's the best football movie?The original longest yard?- Any given Sunday.- Any given Sunday?That's great, but like.- That's Oliver Stone's dramatic.- It's super gritty.- Yeah, super bad.Like it's like-- - And then basketball,like there's, I mean, blue chips.- Blue chips. - Hoosiers.Like there's not like--- What was the second one you said?- Hoosiers.- Hoosiers, yeah.I wasn't a huge, I liked it,but I didn't really like it that much.- Like my favorite basketball movie,if I can count it as a basketball movie,as white men can't jump by a thousand miles.- Yeah, that's a basketball movie.What about Space Jam?Is that a basketball movie?- Space Jam is a product placement.- For Warner Brothers.- Primarily.But yeah, man, something about baseball just lends itself to film and you can just make great,you can also make great golf movies and great boxing movies'cause there's multiple of each of those sports.But for whatever reason, football and basketball,I think there's just too much stuff happening like in the games.- Yeah, there's not enough time to cut away to something to watch it.'Cause think about like, like we did necessary roughness.Remember in the very end and they were in the huddle,he's like, all right, I promise you,if we get into that end zone,all your pains can disappear and like, dude,- 40 second clock is way up.- Yeah, you guys are already taking a penalty.- Yeah, so like--- Yeah, and you also have to find,it's really hard for a football,and a football movie to find stuff for everybody to do.Like the kicker has to have her moment,and then the big Simone guys,'cause you're never gonna touch you.I guess it's a lot of-- - Let's do that movie again.I liked it.(laughing)- I'll call Marvin and see if he wants to do one more go around a necessary reference.- Yeah, yeah.Dude, I, I think you're right.I think it's because there's--- Not a queasy thing at T.(laughing)- In China.So I think you're right.I think there's enough space and time downtime, I guess,for baseball and even golf.- There's something about some sports just lend themselves to being made into good like compelling movies and football and basketball just don't in the way that boxing and golf and baseball do.- Yeah, what about hockey's too fast-paced,soccer's too fast-paced.- Hockey's too fast-paced, soccer's too fast-paced.- Nobody watches those anyway, right?- No, just the entire whole entire world.- Yeah, everyone.So we need to work on our script for a baseball movie.- We could, I don't know anything about baseball,but I'm sure we don't think we need to.- All right, you can just float it like scruffing.- Just scruffing McGee.- All right, see, in a float or pitch,just scruffing McGee.(laughing)All right, give us the synopsis.- Rook of the Year is a 1993 Family Sports Comedy Film about a 12 year old, Henry Rowan Gardener,who after breaking his arm and healing with extraordinary pitching abilities,become the youngest player ever signed by the struggling Chicago Cups.- Oh man.- Rosenberger got in there.Dude, I wrote down every single time he said a different name and I have them all written down.- All right, that's perfect.- Can I go through them right quick?- Yeah, you wanna do it right now?- Yeah, yeah, kiddo.All right, we got Ruin Ferder,Robin Booser, Rosenberger, Garden Hozer,Rhino Mucker, Ruin Gardener, Rosenberger.- Those were all, and he called them Ruin Gardener one time.- And he called them Ruin Gardener one time when I freaked him out.- Yeah, and that's Albert Hall who's the guy,he's an apocalypse now, he's in major pain,- Yeah, he's in Malcolm X.He's in a bunch of stuff.- Yeah, he's been around.Dude, when I just listed those,all I could think of was Eddie Azard.All right, we got Zinglebrirt Bimble Deck,Tingle Bird Bingle Deck, Slut Bunwala,Klingibund, Fisty Bands,Englebrirt Humberding, Zinglebrirt Bingle Bank.Why don't we go back one?- We'll go back one.- No, Jerry D'Ollsea.I like Jerry D'Ollsea.- Yeah, no, he died.- No, he died.- No, he's fine.- He's fine, no.- No, no, he died.- No, he died.(laughing)- Incompetent, they're very few,humped in Britain.(laughing)- Yeah, that's the ASNOPSIS.It's a completely ludicrous premise,but it also kind of works,'cause it's a Disney movie.- Yeah, it does.- Like angels in the Alfield and all that,all those weird like kids movies.Like, yeah, he falls down,then suddenly he can throw the ball really fast,and then the cops sign him.That part's not weird at all, by the way,because if you read through the history of baseball teams,signing people just on a lark to get people to come and watch,they're actually where baseball teams in the,I wanna say it was maybe 1800s or early 1900s,Like signed a, what's the politically correct term for someone who's not very tall,like genetically, little person.- A little person, yes.- No, I thought that was not politically correct.- No, I think little persons what they want.- Okay, so like actually signed a little person because they keep getting on base because they had no strike zone.- Oh man.- Like there's just like a history of Major League Baseball is exactly, is full of stories like that.So if there was a 12 year old who could throw 103 miles an hour,a Major League team would absolutely sign him.Is there no age thing for the baseball?Is there an age thing for the other sports?Yeah.I don't know.Don't you have to go to college for basketball?Yeah, I think NFL and NBA for sure,you have to be a certain age baseball.I don't know, maybe not.Maybe so.Who knows?That's amazing.The things I don't know about baseball is everything.All of it.Yeah.Yeah, dude, we went to a baseball game this past week in the AAA affiliate in Nashville,and it's the Nashville sounds,and they were all wearing uniforms.It said, "Hot chicken."And I was like, "Why is the name different?"And I just, I had to ask a guy next to me who had a sound tattoo.I was like, "Dude, what's going on with the names?"He's like, "Oh, they just do different jerseys"sometimes just to sell more stuff."I was like, "Oh, that makes sense."That's a great idea.- That's a lot of chicken.It's pretty delicious though.- Yeah, really?- Yeah, what's the appeal of like,"Oh, it's like regular chicken"s have it makes fire shoot out of your butthole?"Okay, why?- Dude, I thought it tasted good.I mean, I didn't also, I didn't pick the very top hot.Dude, I never picked the very top, but I don't know.It's like, are you kidding me?Every time we go to Buffalo Wild Wings,you could blazing sauce and you're dipping like,stuffing it and you're like licking your fingers.I was like, oh my God, how's he doing that?- No, no, I get the hot sauce,but then I just, I take the tenders and I just wave them over the top of it.Never actually make contacts.It's go with spicy.Oh man.- It's like infused water.- Yeah, yeah.- It's like this is water that leaned up against a watermelon at one point.(laughing)Anyway, this movie, $10 million budget grossed$56.5 million.- That's pretty good.- Which is number 22 on the year.That's incredible.- That's pretty good for this kind of minute.- Dude, this thing is right behind Cystrak 2 Demolition Man in Tombstone.- Nice.- The 93 movies release schedule was absolutely in bananas.So many good movies still coming.- No, it really was good.And this came out in the summer when all the kids were off,so I could see everybody going to see this.I did mark down what the approval rating was though,'cause you know, I now look that up after.- Yes, pretty low.- Yeah, way lower than I thought.- I did too.I got 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, what I saw.- Yeah.- I mean, Rotten Tomatoes is like,Rotten Tomatoes comes out 20 years after this movie is made.So it's not like this is people in the moment going, "That movie was, let me go to the internet"and type in what I thought."There was no internet in '93."- Yeah, yeah.Did they not take like old film reviews though from that?Or no?- I think they did.But then the Rotten Tomatoes critic review was an average of 4.9, oh, out of 10.Okay, that's not so good.(laughing)4.9 to 5.- That's a 10, nevermind.- Yeah.- Ebert gave it three out of 11 stars,and that's three out of four stars.- Yeah, yeah.Ebert, though, he remembered playing baseball and sucking,and he was like, it brought me back, so that's awesome.- Yeah, well, and remember in Ebert,I can definitely see him as a baseball player who wasn't very good.- Turn around.- Oh, just some of the way around.- Just some of the way around.- So not all the way around.- Great.- Good, Jerry.- Or Jerry.- They're both favorite.- It's one of the most famous.- More favorite.It's another favorite, just not as much.Not as much favorite.- Good eye, Brian.- Good eye, Brian.- Oh my God, all right.- SQL's spin-offs.Did this have some like direct to video?- No, I didn't.- I didn't see any.- I didn't see any though.- I didn't either, but I feel like it should have had that.He was an American pie.You think that was a spin-off or no?- No, I don't think that was in the same universe.Do you remember when you first saw this?- I do, I don't.I do remember we had this on, like,we didn't buy the VHS.This was when we recorded off of HBO and like, in my dad's handwriting,it said rookie of the year.And I remember watching it a bunch,but we didn't own it.So I don't remember where I saw it.I don't think I saw this in the theater.Yeah, I didn't see it in the theater and we didn't own it,but I feel like we must have rented it multiple times'cause I had, or it came on TV a lot, one of the two.Did it come on the Disney Channel a bunch maybe?Because I'm like watching it.I'm like, dude, I remember all of this.This Disney, I thought this was Fox.I thought this was 20th Century Fox.- Well, it's 20th Century Fox,but 20th Century Fox is owned by Disney.- Yeah, but that's recent.- Yeah, I guess so.- Because the only reason I say that is because when they were talking to Daniel Stern,they wanted Joe Pesci to play some part.They were like, "Hey, can he play Rocket?"Or can he play something?And Daniel Stern was like, "Look,I don't want this to be thought of as the same universe as home alone."It was bad enough that they wanted McCulloch and to play the lead.- Yeah, so if it was 20th century Fox,it wouldn't have been on the Disney Channel.What would have been on?- I don't know, TVS, I have no.- TVS or something, but anyway, I saw it a bunch.'Cause when I watched it, I remembered it really well.And also I quoted this movie,like, I mean, still to this day,but all through high school.- Oh, big time.- Like the number of times I said,"Ha, ice, you heat up the ice."- It's the best of both worlds.- Yeah, dude, the,you give me the big stuff.Like I can remember,- You got that big doggy.- Yeah.- Yeah, all of those things,I can remember saying those a lot.So yeah.- He had freaking brick my stuff.He's so good.- Yeah, he's good.- Where do you rate this?- Dude, I thought it was fun.I gave it 6.5 chimis, 'cause I couldn't give it seven and that's right where it landed for me.- Yeah.- Dude, I think that's an excellent place to rate it.I got it eight and a half.- What?- Nice.- It's just really fun and I had it at eight and I was like, I got a bump at just 'cause I had five brickma quotes that I still say all the time.So I just got a half chimmy dog, just brickma bump.'Cause it's so quotable.- I, but thinking about it, man,It's still really, it's got really legitimately funny parts.It does.It's got some heart.It's got a good storyline.It's well acted.Yeah.It's just a fun movie, man.Did your kids watch this?Yeah, they watched it with me.They loved it.That's what I'm saying.You could just put a 10-year-old in front of this movie and they could have a fun time for two hours.I literally asked them at the end.I was like, "All right, what was wrong with the movie?"And Jake's like, "It was fun.I liked it."And she's just like, "I liked it too."She's like, "I like the funny guy."I was like, "Yeah, yeah.I got it.He was super funny."The only thing she could think of that was wrong was their teeth.I was like, yeah, yeah, it was bothering the hell out of me too.I just didn't say anything.That was the only thing she could find wrong with it is that nobody had white teeth.Yes, the 90s that teeth looked like regular teeth.It looked like freaking blind your reflection teeth.Yeah, but it's one thing to have like super white teeth like freaking Shannon Sharp.And it's another thing formed to be like, I just freaking switched around some red wine before I came to set and I'm ready.- Well dude, they're baseball players.They were chewing tobacco all day.- I wouldn't even try to be authentic.- I was talking about the mom and the boyfriend,George Costanza.- What is this, an oracle redden buyer?- The commercial with the early suckleaf people.- Get all these suckleaf people.- Man.- Yeah, so I gave it 6.5.8.5 is a lot higher than I thought.I can't believe you gave this thing.- It's higher than I thought too, honestly.I feel kind of guilty for it,but that was just my reaction in the moment.I was like, "Did it still really fun?"- Yeah. - And I just love Brickma so much.I think he's not only one of the best characters in this movie, but maybe one of the best comic sidekick characters in any sports movie of my life.- I liked all of the stuff he did.He was a little too goofy for me to put him in my top people.(laughing)- I could definitely see that now that I'm a grownup,but I just thought it was perfect.- Yeah, I can't believe he gave this an eight and a half- And you gave Cap Moran a negative three or whatever you gave it.- Oh, I still strongly stand by it.As much fun as I've had talking about Cap Moran since then, I still strongly stand by that rating.- Oh man.- What's your first scene?- All right, my very first scene is Henry has now started playing for the Cubs.So he's super popular.And he goes back to lunch at school.And they're sitting there and the girl that he likes is smiling at him.and his friend Roger, the big tall blonde hair kid,and the other kid Clark with the just ice cold Luke Skywalker haircut.They're sitting at the lunch table and I'm like,come on, let's just go over there.And Roger is sitting across from the other girl's friend,the blonde, and he's smiling from ear to ear,and she's smiling back at him.He's like, how's it going?How's it going?How's it going Tiffany?And she's like, hi Roger.He's like, not bad?All right, yeah.And the dude, the kid Clark Lane's over goes,she called you Roger.He's like, so, like he didn't know.You having meatloaf, meatloaf?Are you heard Jimmy Rogers gonna pencil stuck up?Dude, and then like, what's that thing?- The racer's still in there.- Yeah, they had to get pliers and everything.And he's carrying around the piece from the boat.And they're like, what's that thing Clark's carrying?He's like, oh, we have a boat.And then like, he's like, "Toda, take a ride.Tell her you're gonna take her for a ride."Like that whole bit was fantastic for me.And Jake was watching it and he was like,this is just like my friends.Like, I was like, dude, that's great.He's going into sixth grade.These kids are in sixth grade.He says it's accurate still.- I didn't put that.I didn't put that scene,but I did capture some stuff from it'cause it was just like,dude, the junior high kids are such savages.- Dude.- Like they just were, they're merciless.And then he's like saying about the girl that Henry likes to say, come on man, she's stacked.- Yeah, and he puts his hands like basically touching his own chest. - Yeah, when you're high-stacked.- Dude, this is the thing.He didn't put his hands out.He just had index fingers out and he was like,she stacked and his fingers are directly over his own nipples.- And he's going, "Milk did that body good."I'm just drinking a carton of milk."- God.- Milk with every meal, that was a good call.I don't know why we don't do that more.- Dude, remember there was a giant ad campaign in the '90s just for not like a brand of milk,just for the product milk from a cow?- Yeah.- Like the government was spending money going,are you guys having milk?You should have milk.Like celebrities were telling us on billboards?- Oh, that was a government thing, wasn't it?Or was it paid for by the--- Yes, absolutely.Milk growers.- Well, it might have been paid for by the milk commission or whatever, but dairy cow group of America.But I think like that,I think the government was also in on it.- So is that why we had milk with every meal at school?- I have no idea.But I'm gonna guess yes.- I don't like milk with every meal, that's gross.- Dude, if I have milk, once a year, that's too much.- I don't care about that.- All right, today's lunch is meatballs and spaghetti with a side of salad, a piece of bread,and a glass of chocolate milk.What?- We got mountain dew, we got crab juice.- Give me crab juice.- All right, so what's your first scene?- My first one is after he's playing for the Cubs,but it's when they go on the road trip and he has to bat.- Oh man.- So good.(laughing)- So good.- It's dude in the editing is genius'cause he's at the plate.He's like barely inside the batter's box.Like his heels are still touching the white line at the edge.And he's going, "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God."And then it cuts to the manager going,"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God."And then it cuts to his mom back home on TV going,"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God."- Dude, I'm glad you said that'cause I, the editor, his name is Rajna Gosnell.Did a great job.'Cause like every time there's like excited screaming and they're cutting between all the different people,'cause you know, like his mom was watching it at the florist shop or whatever.They're in the dugout watching.And then he's on the actual field.And they just cut to all of those for the,oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.Or like when what's his name hits the,it's gonna go foul or fair.And he's gone, it's foul, it's fair.And they're going back and forth to all the different groups.And they show John Candy and they show,Henry and they show the mom, dude,it was a good motif all throughout the thing,and that was just, it was a really great edit the way they did that.- Yeah, dude, the editing was awesome.That guy, by the way, is the actor that played that huge batter guy's name's Tom Molanovic,and he was the state trooper in Groundhog Day.- Groundhog Day.- Yeah, you know who I thought it was at first?I thought it was Donald Gibb, the guy who plays in Revenge of the Nerds, the big dude, Ogre.- Yeah.- I thought that's who it was gonna be.And the whole time, dude, it looked just like him.But no, it's the stage you're looking for from a groundhog day.- But yeah, I had that, and that's,there's the "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God."But then he gets on base 'cause the pitcher can't throw him any strikes.- Yeah.- And then he's, dude, as soon as he gets on base,he starts talking shit to the pitcher.- Yeah.- And he's messing with the first baseman.He's like trash talking him like it's still little league.- My kids.(laughing)- Cackled.Like they were, I had to pause it because he, she was laughing so loud at that whole bit.She loved it.say and dude it was great. And then also John Candy is the is the announcer and he's fantastic.After the fourth ball comes by like it the ball comes by the catcher catches it.The ump goes take your base and then he swings. Yeah. Dude that was one of my quotes.Hank took a rip of that one but the ump had already made the call so he's on his way to first.Dude I lost it so good. Oh god. And the pitcher's like he's swung. Yeah. By the way dude that That guy who was the picture during that part,his name was Tim Stoddard.He was the technical advisor for the baseball scenes in that movie.He actually pitched for the Cubs in '84.- Nice. - When they won the NL East title.- Good stuff, but yeah, that whole thing,the whole "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God."Him taking a swing after he'd already called,after he said, "Oh, he said, take your base."He gets on base, he starts messing with him,he steals the base.- Yeah. - God.- Yeah, that was fantastic.And then he ends up scoring,but he doesn't realize he's supposed to run and the other guy is running behind him.- Oh, he's spanned.- And he's like, "This is fast as I run."And they both slide together and both score.- This might be racist, I have no idea,but that dude looked a lot like Sammy Soeson to me in the face.- I don't know, I don't know if that's racist or not.- It was regular Sammy Soeson, not like,- Not inflated head.- Yeah, not each each.- Oh my God.- Speaking of which, when I saw Barry Bons,I was like, "Oh my God."That's Barry Bons with a regular head.- Yes, Skinny Berry Bonds before his head swallop like a watermelon, and he hit 9,000 home runs in a single year.- Yeah, that's crazy.- But yeah, that's my first scene,what's your next one?- My next one is just the first game that Henry Pitch is in.- Yep.- It was just, he didn't know what was going on.He doesn't really know how to pitch.He hits the guy, like, he throws a wild pitch into the dirt, like, all of those things happen and he still ends up getting the save.(laughing)Which is just, dude, it's just really great.Like you could tell, like he had no idea what was going on.He didn't know what to do.He was just like, throw the heat, got it.And dude, when he, that's another scene that,or another part of that, I'm sure that's Daniel Stern's idea,like the camera angle when he walks out to the mound,and he's looking down at Henry and he looks tiny.And then from his perspective,he's looking up at Sally as he takes the ball.And he's like through the heat and slow motion.Ah man, that whole thing, it was really good.It was really good.- I'm sure that's a decision from the director and the cinematographer, director of photography,figuring out the cameras and the camera angles and stuff.- Yeah, those type of things that were throughout the movie made it like, again, I like Daniel Stern and I like his character and this, it's funny.I like what Daniel Stern, the director,did more than Daniel Stern, the actor.- Yeah, I think.- I'm not gonna go there,'cause I think Brickmas genius.- Yeah, I'm gonna go.- This was well directed for sure.- Yeah.- My next scene is, I don't even know why I put it on the list,you simply just always remembered it,as the Ray Charles dyed Pepsi commercial.- You got to ride one baby.(laughing)'Cause I just remember that commercial that I had campaigns so well.- I did.- I did.- Henry's wearing a tuxedo and he's sitting in a grand piano and he's singing along to Ray Charles but he can't get the line.- Yeah, it's 'cause it's like seven words in a row and they're all weird and they don't sound like they go together.- No, no, they don't.I was gonna do it but I can't.(laughing)You know what I noticed as somebody who occasionally wears bow ties to work,when he started singing that part,the girls that were dancing around him untied his bow tie.And it takes me a couple of seconds to tie a bow tie.And I don't like it.And when they untied it and then they said,"Cut."I was like, "Oh man, that sucks."Somebody's gonna have to tie that back."Yeah, there's some costume director.It's gonna do that for him.Yeah, they got that.And the director's like,"I need you to make it sexy."How long is this gonna take?Yeah, absolutely.That was a good call I used to love that.And also, I liked how,because this is a movie about a kid who actually gets famous,they can do the product placements overtly inside of the movie.Right. Like just like that's full on.Yes, exactly. I would have bought a corporate sponsors and he opens the pizza box, this pizza hut.Well, we're in a deedous jumpsuit.Little, what's your last thing?Yellow.Different.My last one is when they go to the hotel and Brigham is trying to tell him like how early he's got to be down there.The bus leaves at 11.and he gets stuck between the doors.- Yeah.- And the foreshadowing before that,when the guys drop it 'em off,and the doors, they have the connecting doors and they're connecting doors.- Yeah, he's catching it.Just like all the doors that keep locking on him,he catches it at the last second.And that guy, beforehand,it seems your door is malfunctioning.And he's just smiling with his mouth open and staring at him.And, dude, Daniel's starting to just stare and write back at him.I'll get someone to help, and he walks off.He's like, "Hey, nice guy!"Like, I, dude, I don't know why I like that part.That part with that guy, the balding guy that stared at him with the mouth open was great.- Yeah.That's awesome.We didn't have any of the same scenes I can't believe that.- Yeah.- The thing that I really liked about Daniel Sturring is trapped between the two doors,which is amazing 'cause number one,it spawns one of my favorite lines.- La la la.- La la la.- La la la.- La la la.But also, I didn't, obviously, I didn't realize it as a kid,but now as an adult, I'm going,the thing that's extra genius about that is that then Brickma gets locked on the pitching cage later,'cause he goes, "My lucky seeds!"Yeah.And he gets locked.But that what that means is that the director Daniel Stern does not have to shoot scenes where he the actor Daniel Stern is in the scene.In the scenes, right.That's good.So it's like, it's such a smart way from a production standpoint to go,like I'm directing this.I can't also be in my outfit with my handlebar mustache,like performing.I need to be locked away between the two connecting doors or in the pitching cage locked up.I tell you one thing though,somebody who can act and direct at the same time,the incomparable Robert Redford.He does it at the time.No, dude, you know what?- So does Jason Payment.- Yeah.- You can do it, but I'm saying like,I think it's cool that he was just like,"Hey man, there's gonna be a million people.These are huge scenes.The whole stadium is there.I need to not be in the shot."- Right.- What do we do about that?- Right, right.- What if Brickman just locks himself in the cage.It's like, "Perfect, let's do that."And then it's actually really funny when he does it.- Yeah, and dude, when he starts shaking the cage and everything starts falling,- You see, lost it again.- That's 'cause he's freaking genius.- Yeah, dude, when he gets stuck in between the doors,I can remember every hotel since then that we've had connecting rooms.I've always tried to see if I could fit in there and I never could.- I'm a thousand percent positive that now I could not fit in there.- Dude, I don't know if I ever could have.- No, that's what I'm saying.I think that was especially made.- That was definitely, that was special effects on TV.- Yeah, I just didn't realize.- I just didn't realize.- What?- There's a lot of air cry about it.So what's your third one?- My third one was the final game.- Nice.- The final game where they're gonna win the pennant.Dude, it's got the hidden ball trick.- Yeah.- It's got Stedman thrown at his arm,and then it's like that really actually kind of emotional moment where he's like,the manager's like, "Hey, I'm Gary Buc comes out."And he's like, "Ab done."And he's like, "Kats great, I'm just gotta save you for the playoffs."He gave me six great in and he's like,"No, no, I'm done.My arm is gone."- Yeah.- And the manager's like, "Well, hope you let me finish"out the season before you take my job."- Nice, yeah, yeah.- I remember that.a nice emotional moment that was like a Chet's arc concluded.By the way, Gary Busy being perfectly serviceable in this movie and not being crazy.There's great value in his movie.But we killed it.He killed the whole time too.I'm like, is that a fake mustache?Kat's like, no.That's definitely not a fake mustache.No, it definitely is.A fake mustache.I looked it out.It is a fake mustache.Dude, also fantastic mustache.Yeah.When he gets hurt, the music is playing like heavy handed or catchable music.Yeah, and then right as this right as he throws it you hear the crack and you can see is the pain in his face All you hear is an electric guitar. It's like The pain is causing an electric guitar sound and I freaking loved it And then when he went to go throw it again like he picked up the bun And he went to go throw it and his arm was back and you could tell the pain the electric guitar came back Dude, it's great. That was a good call to do that This was a really good score, and I was kind of confused like how the score ended up being so good.And I looked it up, it's Bill Conti.Dude, that guy did Rocky, did Karate Kid.- I was gonna say Bill Conti is Rocky.- All over the '80s, doing all the classic '80s stuff,like electric guitar solos as you throw out your arm.(laughing)- That was a good call.As soon as it hit it, I was like,oh yeah, remember that, that's great, I love it.- But yeah, but when, like Henry, you know,he slips on a thing and he can't throw fast anymore and Gray value Nick Nolte, he's out, his arms hurt.And so he's doing the like,he's walking people, he's doing the hidden ball trick,he's like making plans to get everybody out,using trickery, using--- Dropping it and calling him a chicken.- Yeah.- Like God, man, that's great.- Yeah, I'm with you.That was a good call.- And then he floats it past Old What's His Name from Groundhog Day?- Oger from Revenge No 8.It's not him, it's not him.- Tom Melonovich.- Tom Melonovich.Yeah, good call.I like the last, dude, I'm glad we didn't have the same because I agree with all of yours too.There's a really good, if I could pick six, I'm with that.- Yeah, no, I like it when we don't have the same ones either'cause it gives us more stuff to talk about.- Absolutely. - Quotes?I got way too many because I have five brickma quotes.- Dude, I put all the brickma quotes together.- I know, I did too 'cause I just, I couldn't make it,I couldn't make it work any more.- So which brickma quotes do you have?Do you have, you have, give me the good stuff?- I gotta give me the good stuff.- All right, so how about this?Oh man, and then the last thing that I had was,I wrap up my cake here, my vomit bag, and voila!Breakfast, conservation, managing resources,that's the key to baseball.- I freaking love that guy.- Dude, and then later on there at the party,I don't know why there was a party after they just won a regular game, but he's talking to Henry again, and he's like looking over,and there's like these two like young girls,just like the hair's all curled, like wearing fancy dresses,and he's like, all right, then we come with me.He's like, excuse me ladies, and the ladies like,look at him, and he goes,- Excuse me.- And they step aside and there's a pinball machine.- And remember, it's all free.- And dude, Henry gets all excited.He's like, wow, pinball.And he just shoves them to the side and starts playing.- Yeah, that's good stuff.- That's what's breaking my genius.We gotta figure out some good break my stuff.We can pull out and put on TikTok'cause people need to know.- Yeah, dude, we'll definitely do that.What's your non-break my quotes?- A very first non-break my quote is funky buttloven.- Yeah, same.First of all, the sound his shoulder makes is great.And that's seen.I know man, the sound effects in this movie are fantastic.Second, George and Clark are in the doctor's office room with him while he's getting his arm checked.They got like, why not?They got like, popsicle sticks in their mouth and cute tips in their nose and they're messing around.And he said that when he hits the doctor and he says, "Funky butt loving" and George repeats it.Did he say funky butt loving?Do he see, he started saying it from there on.She just kept saying, "Funky butt loving."I was like, "All right, if you really think about what he's saying,we should probably not have my five year old say that."That's so good.So, yeah, "Funky butt loving" is my first.What's your next one?I got that one.The only other one I had is when he goes to his first game his mom is dropping him off and she's walking into the player's entrance.And she's like, "All right, I'll take you inside."He's like, "Mom, none of the other cub moms are going to be there."Oh, dude, yeah, that's right before the Wizard of Oz bit. That was good. Yes. Yeah. And I don't know why that made me laugh But dude, it was awesome. Yeah, my only other quote was the Hank took a rip of that one But the umpid already made the call he's on his way first I freaking love dude. I love John Katie. He had a ton of freaking lines that were like he had some great lines He got hit in the back and the guy got hit and he's like, oh That stinks. I wrote down the I wrote down a He took a rip of that one, but they're laughing. I already made the call but it didn't quite make my cut.- Didn't make the cut.Which was cool because he wasn't even supposed to be in it.He was just visiting the set and then told Daniel Stern who's their friends and he said like,"Man, I'd love to have a little small part."And what you got?And he goes, "How about an announcer?"He's like, "Oh, that would be great.Can I do that?"That's why he's not, John Candy's not even credited in this movie.- That's cool to know 'cause I didn't look that up and I was wondering like, how'd they get John Candy to be in this movie?John Candy's a huge star.- Yeah, at this point he definitely was.And dude, I thought he like kept the whole thing moving.Like he tied it all together.I think it was great that they had him in there.- Well, and it would be weird if you didn't have a comic relief like baseball anchor.Every baseball movie we've ever done has that role.Like it'd be weird if you didn't have that.- Yeah.- Like, yeah, bet you 10 bucks, he's gonna die to my drop in there, Miley.- Oh man.- All right, characters number one,buy a mile for me as Brickma.- Yeah, of course it is, that's awesome.- He's just so good, man.Just quickly in my head I was going like,all right, top, comic, performances,like from a not lead character in the entire decade that might be in there.- Really?- Not really.I don't think it's gonna be top 10.'Cause if we really go through it there's a bunch of really funny movies.- Yeah.- But if you think about like,most of the comedies, the main characters are doing,like Tommy Boy, the main characters are really funny.There's no one else that movie where you're like, "That guy was so funny."- Yeah.- Like the only other one I could think of,You'll get a kick out of this.The next one that immediately came to mind when I started trying to think of that is Eddie Murphy and Mulan.(laughing)That was literally the next one.I thought it was like Moushiu.- Yeah.- Bit character, comic relief,that was absolutely hilarious.- Dude, I know you really like Brickmouth.He just didn't make, he was a little too goofy for me.That's the only reason he didn't make the cut.- No, but it's perfect for the movie that this was,which is a PG Kids release, aimed for 10-year-olds.- Perfect, dude.- My kid, they thought he was the funniest thing.They loved him.- Well, and like that tells you right there,30 years later, your kids are in the right age range and they're still dying laughing at this before.- Right, that's, Daniel Stern is a freaking genius.Totally with you.CC loved, she recognized him from home alone right away.And she was like that's, she loves him.Sticky bandits.(laughing)Who's your first?- My very first one is John Candy.'Cause, dude, he's got the stubble.He's like just like all the other, you know,like you said, the funny comic relief anchors.I wonder how much of the stuff John Candy came up with compared to what was written for him.Just stuff like, well, I just figured out why the Cubs lose every year.They've got more talent in the stands than they do in the field.Or like, well, that's gonna bring rockets,earned run average to about 300 or so,which equals the attendance here today.What a team.Like stuff like that, dude, I just loved it.- I'm just assuming that John Candy Ablib,- Adlib almost all of that.- Yeah.- I like, and the other thing is,is John Candy's kind of Chebby,and he could still be a leading character,which is rare.- Yeah.- And I like that, 'cause I'm also Chebby.- Yeah.- He was mine, my first.- John Candy, by the way, died at 43.- Yeah, no.- It sucks that we didn't have like 30 or 40 more years of him being hilarious and moving.- He would have been, dude, we watched Summer Rental with him this year, and my kids loved it.Like, everybody loves John Candy.Dude, I want to do Uncle Buck on Patreon for 1989.- We're definitely gonna. - I think if we get to it,I would be absolutely delighted.- Well, there's gonna get our garbage.- We'll do it next.- We'll do it next.- My second character is Rowan Gardner.- Yeah, me, Thomas Ian Nichols.- Yeah.- Amy's the lead character.The movie hangs on this kid.It's hard to be a good child actor.And I know Jones is annoyed by him.And I totally get that, 'cause he is kind of annoying.- Yeah.- But I think that was the idea you're supposed to be.- That's what I was gonna say.I think you played it perfect.like he's a goofy nerdy kid, he's not good at sports.Like that's the whole point.- But now he's good at sports.- Since he's good at sports.- Broke his.- Since he broke his, whatever.Well, this is the thing too.I think I realized why he fell.In that scene, he was wearing Chuck Taylor's and having worn those for that daddy daughter dance,I can tell you, those are not the best shoes ever.- Yeah, Larry Bird might still be playing in the NBA if he wasn't wearing Chuck Taylor's.Yeah, dude, I had Rowan Gardner also.I like the fact that Thomas C. and Nichols,he's a musician now.Actually, I used to run into him when we both lived in LA.It shows and stuff.- Dude, I listened to some of his music.It's not bad.- Yeah, no, I think he's been working pretty steadily.He's still doing stuff.He's an American buy.He's done some more movies, done some music.- Yeah, the last movie he was doing.- Like, still doing it.- It was a couple of years ago.So yeah, he's still doing it.Dude, you can tell how good he was at baseball by the first game he was in for Little League.He was wearing jeans.Everybody else was wearing like a whole outfit and he was wearing jeans.- Yeah, he was the last guy sitting in the dugout and they put the kid out and ahead of him who's like head the cook bottle glasses on.- Yeah.- Grape, any grape or cherry.- Or cherry.- Who's your third character?- Third character is great value and dignity.- Yep, doggy. - A great value, Chewbacca.- Oh, dude, something I put in the Rowan Gardener thing.By the way, he was making League Minimum, we assume.In '93 that was $190,000.Today that would be $400,000.- Are you bad?- Not bad.Well, he had a five year, $25 million contract signed with the Yankees, he should have just taken that.- Yeah, I should have taken that and just moved to New York.By the way, when he said $500,that's like six years allowance.That means he was getting paid a $1.60 a week,which adjusted for inflation is $337 a week.If he's doing chores for $3.37 a week,we need to call for a, I don't know,Oxfam International and get some,- Yeah, get some national labor relations for it.- Get some people out there.Dude, I feel like, did you get an allowance?- No.- Yeah, 'cause there was a thing when we were kids where we got an allowance, my brother and I did.I don't remember what it was.I feel like it was like,it might have been a dollar or two a week,but it might have been like five bucks or something.I don't know.But there are also kids who didn't get an allowance.- Yeah.- Remember that being a big point of contention?- Yeah, I didn't get an allowance,but you know what?Every time I was like, "Hey, I'd like to go to the movies,"it was never like, "Well, you gotta get your own money out."Like, they always paid for that shit.You know what I'm saying?They always gave me money to do that.So I wasn't too bitter.But what the hell, you spending money on at that age?- Well, I think the point was,was it was supposed to teach me,and like if my allowance is freaking $3 and I wanna buy,- You know, excite bike.- I gotta save it for like 10 months.- Right.- And then I go and buy it.And I would, I'd be like,oh man, I wanna get the New Zelda game.It's like, all right, I'm a save for three months.- Oh, dude, I need to go find NES,emulator so I can play excite bike.I can't believe you said that, that's delightful.But that's what I would say for, I would say for video games.I would say for Nintendo games, Super Nintendo games,and so on and so forth.- I think eventually I had some sort of allowance,but yeah, I also have Gary Bucy,great value, Nick Nolte is my third character.How Gary Bucy got cast in a kids movie is beyond me.- I don't know that everybody knew he was this crazy back in the gap.- Well dude, we just, the last thing we saw him in,do you remember, was under siege,and he had it turned up to 11 the whole time.- Yeah, yeah.- Like did people not see that movie?It made like $160 million.- Yeah, but you saw him there and you're like,you know who'd be great for this kids movie?Is Gary Bucy?- He didn't have it up to 11 for this.I think he did a good job.- No, that's what I'm saying.He actually, it was like perfectly measured.I don't know if that's like,he ran out of drugs or a dentist or an ask him nicely or what, but like, he played it perfectly,but that's just, that's the lowest level of Gary Bucy you could have gotten is this performance.Like how could you, how could you expect that?I don't know, I still understand.- I can tell you that the part that I realized that Gary Bucy wasn't on drugs,was when they were on the plane,after Brickma takes off from sit next to Henry,and he calls Henry over and sits down,and he goes, "What'd you have?"He goes, "I had the chicken tenders."How are they?They're pretty good.What'd you get?Best Salisbury steak I had in my life.I was like, "What?"That, I mean, I guess maybe they could be the best Salisbury steak,'cause I don't eat Salisbury steak that much.But who, the best in his life?Do you think he ate Salisbury steak every day?Like that one guy you looked up for that one movie?They died at like 35?- Yeah, James, H. Salisbury, the guy who came up with it.The guy who thought vegetables caused tumors and tuberculosis and said you need to have three Salisbury steaks a day and wash it down with hot water and that cleanses the digestive system.- That's the secret.That's the John Wayne diet right there.- Yeah, guy.You know why they called it Salisbury steak though?'Cause there's a bunch of stuff that was like ground meat packed into little patties,but what do you call a ground meat packed into patty that you put on a bun and eat?- I call it a hamburger.- Right, right, but not in the forties you did because that was close to Germany.- That was a journey.- So you had to call it something else.So they're like, "Solves Berry Steak, it is."- Nice.- 'Cause we don't wanna be, yeah, man.That Gary B.U.C. performance to me is kinda miraculous.I don't know how Daniel Stern got that out of him because he's such a friggin' wacko,but he was perfect in this.- Yeah, he was really good.Dude, a couple extra, I put Brickmas, my bonus character,but I wanna throw out the clueless dad,Fisher, the guy who played Larry Fisher.Oh yeah.And then the guy who played Bob Carson,the guy who played the owner.He was from the owner.Eddie Braken, his name.Home Alone 2.He played Mr. Duncan and Home Alone 2that owned the toy store.And also Neil Flynn, who was in Scrawl.She is the first baseman.Yeah.I hadn't seen that whole, 'cause we decided We probably shouldn't show him that yet.Scrubs, but he has seen a few episodes,so he recognized John to right away.- Yeah, that was awesome.- Cool, writers, directors, actors.- I think we talked about it.The writer, Sam Harper, this is first screenplay credit.He's gonna write some other stuff.He doesn't write anything else for 10 years.He writes cheaper by the dozen,which makes almost $200 million.It's the Steve Martin remake.- Yeah, I remember that one.- And then he's written some other stuff,like open season, just married.Like another, just married, due 2003,Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy.- That was a great movie.- Another movie that, dude, it made $100 million on an $18 million budget.Like he's, I don't think he's winning any awards,but everything he wrote made a bunch of money.- Yeah, the bitch hit me with an ass tray.I've written, I love that movie.- And he wrote Rio in 2011.- Nice.- Yeah, yeah.- Another one that made a bunch of money.- Yeah, like a good writer.Daniel Stern is the director.I think this is the only movie he's ever directed.- Only movie, the Zillian one.- Yeah.- I really wanted to talk to him,'cause I just wanted to ask,like he did a good job.Why did he just never do it again?- Right, no, go out on top.- Yeah, or just go like,actually that wasn't that much fun.It was a pain in the ass, I don't wanna do that.- Right, maybe so, maybe so.When he goes to the, when Henry is in the locker room and he looks at the guy to the left and he looks down at his junk'cause he's wearing tidy whiteies And you hear like a like a cello and a bass sound and he looks to the right and there's another guy in like, tidy whiteies and he looks down to his junk and you can hear tidy whiteies and he looks at his own and you hear like a little twinkle and a piccolo.And you hear that?It was great, man.Yeah, the sound effects and the score and stuff.All that together was just great.It was really good.Yeah.Do you have any extra good?No, I don't.I do have a couple of things.All right, a couple of work to do as quickly.Yeah, yeah, a couple, there's just questions.- No, one, the stirrups,Brigham and stirrups were always loose and never fitting right.What are those four to those just hold up socks?What are, like on Facebook, you know what I'm saying?Like on CC and Jake when they played like T-Ball and stuff,they're just painted on the socks.- I thought those were supposed to be for the really old baseball pants to keep the pants from riding up.- Who may be so?- Like put them under, you stepped on them and then it kept your pants from like pulling.- Yeah, maybe they're connected to the pants, good call.All right, let's do five questions.Is it okay for kids?I feel like we've already covered that pretty well.- Yeah, absolutely.It's definitely okay.Could you make it again?- I mean, yeah, I guess so.Dude, what are your kids watching?Are they making sports movies for kids?Or what are they doing?- I don't know.My kids like the newest space jam,but like you said, that's not really a sports movie.They watch a lot of rare TV shows from Disney.- Yeah, I feel like they're just cranking out TV shows for kids and not doing as many movies'cause maybe you don't take kids to movies as much,'cause it's $35.- Yeah, it's $1,000 million.- Yeah, nobody's doing that.Yeah, I think they could remake it though.I think they could still make a movie for kids like that.- Yeah, it'd be great if they would.Would it be a movie or a TV show?I'm guessing given our, it'd probably be a TV show.- Yeah, it would just talk about.- But you could probably, I'm telling you,you could make a movie.You could make a movie.- Did you recast it?- I did.- Dude, I just, I don't know what to do when I'm casting kids.I don't know any 10 year olds.- So, dude, I wanted it to be a girl.So I started thinking like, who was the last little girl that I saw that was really good?Did you see one's point of time in Hollywood?That little girl that was playing in the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio.Her name is Julia Butters.She's way good.That's who I want.And she's about the right age.For the rocket, the guy David Harbor from Stranger Things in Black Widow, that guy with the big beard, you know I'm talking about.Yeah.That's who I want the rocket.Henry's mom, I want Zoe Kravitz, because I like her and for Phil Brigma.I couldn't think of somebody that ridiculous, but I wanted somebody super funny and I I wanted a person of color so I chose my go to Donald Glover because I freaking love that guy.Yeah, and he is hilarious. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't know who you could have do be Brickba.I would go I'll be trying to figure out like his wippy goldberg to old for that.She would be a good Brickma. Yeah, she might be too old though.She's definitely too old. We could never get her for a movie like this,but it would be awesome if if the mother was played by Florence Pugh. She's really good. Who nice.Can you still watch and enjoy this in 2023 for me?- Yeah. - It's a hell yes.- Yeah, yeah.- Do you know how I love it? - It's super fun.- It's on Disney+. - Yeah.- If you got kids or if you're like us and you're old, you should watch this.- Yeah, you should totally watch it.Take some ibuprofen and sit on the couch and watch it.- If you remember it the first time.- That's awesome.Well, next episode, episode 15 is the program.Is that what we're doing next?- Yeah, next up is the program.- That's a sports movie.That's awesome.- Starting the events, it plays the table.- Dude, I've seen this movie once.I'm so excited to watch it again.- I owned it on DVD, I've seen it a bunch of times.I was not surprised.- I've been asked to watch it with you once.- Yeah.- I saw parts of it with Thad and Chris when they lived in that little pool house thing.- Yeah, I remember it being on in there.That's the only times I've ever seen it.- Nice.- So I'm excited.- All right, cool.We'll see you next time for the program.- The program.- Firecandy.- Firecandy, yes.(upbeat music)Thanks for listening to Movie Life Crisis.Please subscribe, rate, and review, and remember, don't drive anger.(upbeat music)(upbeat music)[Music]
