The Movie Club, a podcast for people that love movies.
(00:00:05):
What, like a car?
(00:00:06):
I kill him, Gilbert.
(00:00:08):
You complete me.
(00:00:10):
What's up, daddy?
(00:00:11):
We're going streaky!
(00:00:13):
Because there's no crying in baseball.
(00:00:15):
Nobody puts baby in a corner.
(00:00:16):
Do you understand the words?
(00:00:18):
You're goddamn right I did!
(00:00:20):
You have six fingers on your right hand.
(00:00:28):
What kind of plastic you carry?
(00:00:29):
We've got a Visa and a gasoline card.
(00:00:32):
Well, I've got a Neiman Marcus card in case we want to buy a gift for someone.
(00:00:35):
What have you got?
(00:00:36):
Chalmers Big and Tall Men's shop.
(00:00:38):
It's a seven outlet chain in the Pacific Northwest.
(00:00:41):
Great stuff.
(00:00:43):
Unfortunately, it does us no good here.
(00:00:46):
Six bucks in my right nut says we're not landing in Chicago.
(00:00:50):
All right.
(00:00:51):
Hey, I'm glad we're off and running.
(00:00:54):
Good job, guys.
(00:00:55):
Good job.
(00:00:56):
Well, happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
(00:00:59):
Is it Thanksgiving?
(00:01:00):
It'll be close to Thanksgiving when this comes out.
(00:01:04):
So happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
(00:01:05):
We're doing a... Thanksgiving themed movie?
(00:01:09):
Yeah, probably one of the most Thanksgiving-y movies we could think of.
(00:01:13):
I would go as far as to say it's the only.
(00:01:16):
I mean, there's not really... This is the Thanksgiving movie.
(00:01:19):
Yeah,
(00:01:19):
I feel like there's a lot of movies that have Thanksgiving randomly in it,
(00:01:23):
but this is like...
(00:01:24):
I feel like this is a stretch to call it a Thanksgiving movie.
(00:01:27):
No, he's getting home for Thanksgiving.
(00:01:30):
But he never gets to Thanksgiving.
(00:01:32):
Yeah, they don't actually show Thanksgiving.
(00:01:35):
Because there's no turkey?
(00:01:36):
It's not like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
(00:01:39):
Yeah, that's right.
(00:01:40):
It's because Thanksgiving always gets overlooked.
(00:01:44):
Well, that's true.
(00:01:46):
That's true.
(00:01:47):
And that's why there's no other Thanksgiving movies.
(00:01:50):
Yeah.
(00:01:51):
I saw this picture on Facebook and it was like the like blow up things that you put
(00:01:56):
on your lawn and it was like Santa but he was laying down and the turkey was on top
(00:01:59):
of it and it had a sign that said wait your turn fat boy.
(00:02:06):
I don't know.
(00:02:07):
I think Thanksgiving gets overlooked because Christmas just hits you like a ton of break.
(00:02:11):
Like if you aren't ready to put your lights up and stuff, it's just like this time of year is chaos.
(00:02:17):
We should have done that a couple of weeks ago when it was warm.
(00:02:19):
It's still warm.
(00:02:22):
Warm ish.
(00:02:23):
It wasn't warm today.
(00:02:25):
It's like November and it's 60 degrees.
(00:02:29):
I think I'm guilty of that.
(00:02:30):
I want to put my Christmas decorations up like now.
(00:02:34):
I actually do.
(00:02:35):
It's time.
(00:02:36):
Oh, I'm doing it next weekend.
(00:02:38):
Oh, I can't.
(00:02:39):
I want my house fully decorated for Christmas on Thanksgiving.
(00:02:43):
When you're done, come over here and do this.
(00:02:46):
I can't do it until after.
(00:02:48):
100%.
(00:02:48):
I'll even give you a budget because we suck at it.
(00:02:52):
I love it.
(00:02:52):
Like, I really love it.
(00:02:54):
You should see the amount of bins at my house.
(00:02:56):
Can you do it for 50 bucks?
(00:02:58):
I can do it for free.
(00:02:59):
No, I mean, you need to buy this stuff.
(00:03:02):
Oh, well, yeah.
(00:03:03):
We have stuff.
(00:03:06):
I thought you were going to buy me.
(00:03:10):
That didn't even cross my mind.
(00:03:13):
You're like, I'm not paying.
(00:03:15):
I mean,
(00:03:15):
how about the fact that people who have their signs out,
(00:03:19):
do you need Christmas lights and they come out and decorate your house?
(00:03:22):
So, okay, $1,000, quote for this area, $1,000, and it lasts for 10 years, and it's a 10-year guarantee.
(00:03:30):
What do you mean it lasts for 10 years?
(00:03:31):
They say it all year around?
(00:03:32):
All year around.
(00:03:33):
They're permanent, and the lights switch for each holiday.
(00:03:36):
You can just change color code.
(00:03:38):
I would totally do it, but it's too uniform.
(00:03:40):
It's like super straight.
(00:03:42):
I love that.
(00:03:43):
For $1,000 and you have lights for 10 years.
(00:03:46):
That's cool.
(00:03:48):
I would totally do it.
(00:03:50):
But it's too uniform.
(00:03:52):
It is.
(00:03:53):
Are they very straight?
(00:03:54):
Yeah, for what other people do around here.
(00:03:55):
What do you want?
(00:03:57):
You want them to be crooked?
(00:03:58):
No, I prefer straight.
(00:04:00):
But everyone else is crooked and twisty-turny, and it'll be too perfect.
(00:04:06):
They'd have to mess it up somewhere.
(00:04:09):
Yeah.
(00:04:10):
I bet you could pay a little extra.
(00:04:15):
But they come out and replace your bulbs.
(00:04:18):
That's cool.
(00:04:19):
Yeah.
(00:04:20):
Yeah.
(00:04:20):
You looked in at us?
(00:04:22):
I did.
(00:04:22):
Yeah.
(00:04:23):
And they don't even have to come out to estimate.
(00:04:24):
They just Google Earth it.
(00:04:26):
For a thousand bucks.
(00:04:28):
For how much square foot?
(00:04:31):
For this house.
(00:04:32):
I want to see an example of what the lights look like for that thousand bucks.
(00:04:36):
Well, now that we're talking about it, it'll show up on your phone.
(00:04:39):
Oh, that's true.
(00:04:40):
That'll be my Facebook ad from here until it's turning.
(00:04:43):
Apparently, Guardian Bikes thinks that my kids need to learn how to ride their bikes because that's...
(00:04:49):
Facebook is nothing but these stupid bikes.
(00:04:52):
Can't stand it.
(00:04:52):
We'll cut that out.
(00:04:53):
I don't even want to give them credit.
(00:04:56):
Stupid fucking bikes.
(00:05:00):
We reinvented the bike.
(00:05:03):
Okay, buddy.
(00:05:04):
All right.
(00:05:07):
Katie, what are we talking about?
(00:05:08):
Should we introduce ourselves?
(00:05:10):
Sorry.
(00:05:12):
Yeah, I said we're talking about a Thanksgiving movie, but I never actually said which one.
(00:05:16):
No, because there is none.
(00:05:18):
Okay.
(00:05:18):
We're talking about planes, trains, and automobiles, though.
(00:05:22):
So I'm Katie.
(00:05:24):
And I'm Erica.
(00:05:25):
And I'm Ryan.
(00:05:25):
And I'm John.
(00:05:27):
Are you sure?
(00:05:27):
I'm John.
(00:05:28):
So Planes, Trains, and Automobiles came out in 1987.
(00:05:32):
Do you have any ratings, John?
(00:05:34):
No.
(00:05:38):
No, I don't.
(00:05:39):
Okay.
(00:05:40):
He didn't do his job.
(00:05:40):
I didn't come prepared.
(00:05:41):
Do you have the ratings?
(00:05:44):
I do have the ratings.
(00:05:46):
Someone does their homework.
(00:05:47):
Even though I told her, I was like, look, I want to be in charge of ratings.
(00:05:49):
I know.
(00:05:50):
You're the ratings guy.
(00:05:51):
You told me to stop looking them up because you wanted me to guess them.
(00:05:54):
But you still have them.
(00:05:55):
But I still looked them up.
(00:05:56):
Because she knew you weren't going to have them.
(00:05:58):
do you have ebert's uh i don't know i did so i did imbd gave it a 7.6 out of 10 and
(00:06:05):
rotten tomatoes gave it so it was a 92 for the tomato meter critics which is like
(00:06:13):
their critics and then an 87 audience score okay ebert gave it four stars that's
(00:06:20):
pretty good i just wow
(00:06:21):
Four stars.
(00:06:23):
Wow.
(00:06:24):
Four stars, by the way, that's the most stars.
(00:06:27):
For those of you who don't know.
(00:06:28):
All stars.
(00:06:28):
He gave them all stars.
(00:06:30):
That's more than 2.4.
(00:06:31):
2.4 is outrageous.
(00:06:32):
Four stars is spot on.
(00:06:34):
Wow.
(00:06:40):
So it was written and directed by John Hughes.
(00:06:43):
Love a good John Hughes movie.
(00:06:46):
And the main actors were John Candy,
(00:06:48):
who plays Del Griffith,
(00:06:50):
Steve Martin,
(00:06:51):
who plays Neil Page,
(00:06:52):
and Lila Robbins,
(00:06:54):
who plays Susan Page.
(00:06:57):
So I gave this movie an eight.
(00:07:02):
It's hilarious.
(00:07:03):
And I love, love, love Steve Martin and John Candy.
(00:07:08):
And I also I have like some things to bring up at the end,
(00:07:10):
but I feel like everyone can like kind of relate to either like they're either kind
(00:07:15):
of like a Neil or Adele in this.
(00:07:18):
Like I had a specific character that I was like, yep, that's that's me.
(00:07:24):
You're Neil.
(00:07:24):
I'm totally Neil.
(00:07:28):
100%.
(00:07:28):
No question.
(00:07:30):
Meanwhile, I'm like, I gotta let the dogs breathe a little bit over here.
(00:07:36):
What did you rate it, John?
(00:07:38):
I'm high.
(00:07:39):
I'm like 9-1.
(00:07:40):
I'm gonna go 9-1 on this one.
(00:07:44):
I think it's one of the classic great movies.
(00:07:50):
So can I ask you a question?
(00:07:51):
Where does the point one, like how do you come up with that?
(00:07:57):
It's a little bit more than, a little bit better than good.
(00:08:00):
Yeah, yeah.
(00:08:01):
I don't know.
(00:08:02):
I don't know where the one came from.
(00:08:03):
I'll let you know as we go through this.
(00:08:05):
Like I'm like, wait a minute.
(00:08:06):
That's what my point was.
(00:08:07):
That's the point one.
(00:08:08):
Right there.
(00:08:08):
Right there.
(00:08:10):
If I was Erica, I'd be a 5'4".
(00:08:12):
Then 10 minutes later, I'd be a 5'6".
(00:08:16):
I was going to, what did you rate it, Erica?
(00:08:18):
Hmm?
(00:08:19):
I like a solid 8.2.
(00:08:20):
There you go.
(00:08:22):
There you go.
(00:08:24):
You let me know when that .2 comes in.
(00:08:26):
She's our German judge over here, though.
(00:08:30):
She says it with such confidence, too.
(00:08:32):
She's like, oh, I'm giving it an 8.2.
(00:08:34):
8.2.
(00:08:34):
Solid 8.2.
(00:08:35):
I've been thinking about this all week.
(00:08:36):
Maybe an 8.25.
(00:08:39):
I was going with like a six.
(00:08:42):
Oh, no, I'm kidding.
(00:08:43):
I'm kidding.
(00:08:44):
I'm kidding.
(00:08:44):
I'm kidding.
(00:08:44):
I'm kidding.
(00:08:45):
Actually, this was really fun for me.
(00:08:48):
I'm going to go eight, five.
(00:08:50):
Wow.
(00:08:51):
I'm the highest one on this list.
(00:08:53):
Katie hated it the most.
(00:08:54):
I loved it, though.
(00:08:55):
I don't know.
(00:08:56):
You were an eight?
(00:08:58):
Yeah, I feel like eight's a good score.
(00:09:00):
Pretty subpar.
(00:09:02):
No, it's a solid score.
(00:09:04):
I actually thought this was a really good movie.
(00:09:06):
Yeah, first time seeing it.
(00:09:08):
For real?
(00:09:09):
It was, yeah.
(00:09:10):
When we talked about doing it, I thought... You thought... Wait, you have to explain this.
(00:09:21):
I thought it was the movie where the plane crashed and they started to eat each other.
(00:09:26):
That's caught alive.
(00:09:30):
That's totally what I thought this movie was.
(00:09:32):
Which has no trains or automobiles.
(00:09:34):
It's just a plane.
(00:09:36):
A plane.
(00:09:37):
He missed the beginning.
(00:09:39):
Well, that's why I didn't... I was like, I don't understand.
(00:09:42):
Why is this a Thanksgiving movie?
(00:09:44):
They're not eating turkey.
(00:09:46):
They're eating.
(00:09:47):
They're eating, but not turkey.
(00:09:48):
I was confused when Steve Martin didn't start eating John Candy.
(00:09:52):
I was like, when does that happen?
(00:09:53):
There's plenty to eat.
(00:09:54):
Anyhow...
(00:10:00):
Bring us into the movie.
(00:10:01):
All right.
(00:10:03):
As Neil Page tries to make it home for Thanksgiving,
(00:10:05):
he runs into every type of transportation issue you can imagine,
(00:10:10):
along with some avoidable accidents caused by a stranger,
(00:10:13):
Del Griffith,
(00:10:15):
that he meets along the way.
(00:10:16):
The two could not be more different and deal with many challenges as their
(00:10:20):
personalities clash during their two-day venture.
(00:10:24):
An unlikely friendship blossoms as we find out that maybe they are both exactly what the other needed.
(00:10:31):
See, if you told me that before I saw the movie, I'd say it would suck.
(00:10:36):
Wow.
(00:10:36):
So you hate my summary.
(00:10:38):
Cool.
(00:10:38):
Yeah.
(00:10:38):
I mean, that was aggressive.
(00:10:41):
I'm not sure how else I'm supposed to take that.
(00:10:44):
He's like, I got to tell you, the movie is like a nine.
(00:10:47):
Your summary, that's like the four.
(00:10:50):
That's terrible.
(00:10:50):
I would never even.
(00:10:51):
Ouch.
(00:10:52):
Ouch.
(00:10:52):
Totally not what I meant.
(00:10:53):
That's the way it came out.
(00:10:57):
I'm just going to shut up.
(00:10:58):
I mean, I heard it that way.
(00:11:03):
Not trying to cause trouble.
(00:11:04):
I really hope our listeners don't take it that way.
(00:11:09):
They're like, wow, I was going to go watch the movie, but not so sure.
(00:11:14):
Why did our streaming ratings go down?
(00:11:16):
I try to make my summaries broad enough that I'm not giving anything away, you know?
(00:11:21):
Apparently I gotta rework these, though.
(00:11:23):
Maybe you should start doing the summaries.
(00:11:25):
Summary was fantastic.
(00:11:28):
And the movie ratings.
(00:11:30):
Callum.
(00:11:32):
Callum.
(00:11:32):
Did you notice?
(00:11:33):
I mean,
(00:11:33):
I'm sure you did,
(00:11:34):
but the guy who races Steve Martin in the beginning of the movie trying to...
(00:11:38):
Yes.
(00:11:38):
Kevin Bacon.
(00:11:40):
We're getting right into that.
(00:11:42):
Let's do it.
(00:11:43):
That's like five minutes into the movie, isn't it?
(00:11:45):
Oh, I thought we were doing some facts first.
(00:11:47):
Oh, no.
(00:11:48):
Go ahead.
(00:11:48):
No.
(00:11:48):
No.
(00:11:49):
Go.
(00:11:50):
Fuck shit up.
(00:11:51):
I'm sorry.
(00:11:52):
Look.
(00:11:54):
Fun facts.
(00:11:55):
Go ahead.
(00:11:55):
Give us some fun facts.
(00:11:57):
Well, I just wanted to talk about like, so this is a John Hughes movie.
(00:12:02):
Very big producer, director, writer.
(00:12:06):
What are your favorite John Hughes movies?
(00:12:09):
Great question.
(00:12:11):
For me, probably Ferris Bueller is out there.
(00:12:15):
That's probably number one.
(00:12:17):
Breakfast Club is also out there.
(00:12:18):
I have Breakfast Club too.
(00:12:19):
Yeah.
(00:12:20):
I also love Home Alone too.
(00:12:24):
That's not as high for me, but I like the movie.
(00:12:28):
Ferris Bueller, because I looked it up.
(00:12:31):
And what's the other one?
(00:12:32):
It's got candles.
(00:12:34):
16 candles?
(00:12:35):
I thought you didn't like any of those.
(00:12:38):
Yeah, you told us you don't like any of the old, you said you don't like old rom-coms.
(00:12:43):
No, 16, that was good.
(00:12:44):
I don't like the Breakfast Club.
(00:12:46):
There's just something weird about the kids sitting and smoking and all that.
(00:12:49):
They're at detention.
(00:12:53):
They don't want to be there.
(00:12:54):
Didn't do it for me.
(00:12:58):
I love that movie.
(00:13:03):
Erica?
(00:13:05):
Looking up John Hughes films.
(00:13:06):
You're looking up what?
(00:13:10):
Oh, my God.
(00:13:11):
John Hughes.
(00:13:14):
We just named four of these movies.
(00:13:17):
I just want to make sure I name an actual John Hughes movie.
(00:13:21):
The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller.
(00:13:23):
No, doesn't he do all the National Lampoons?
(00:13:25):
Because I really like those.
(00:13:27):
I think he did.
(00:13:27):
Is St.
(00:13:28):
Elmo's Fire one of John Hughes, too?
(00:13:30):
I love that movie.
(00:13:31):
National Lampoons.
(00:13:32):
Yeah, he has European vacation here.
(00:13:35):
No, the original one.
(00:13:36):
Wally World.
(00:13:38):
He was not the director.
(00:13:39):
He wrote
(00:13:40):
Yeah, but he's always involved in them.
(00:13:43):
I think Chris Columbus directed Home Alone, but I'm pretty sure it was a John Hughes production.
(00:13:50):
No, I meant National Lampoon's.
(00:13:53):
Not Home Alone.
(00:13:54):
I meant the National Lampoon one with Chevy Chase, the original one.
(00:13:58):
He wrote some kind of script that got picked up and optioned,
(00:14:03):
and he was the main writer for that,
(00:14:05):
I think.
(00:14:07):
Oh, okay.
(00:14:08):
Yeah,
(00:14:08):
he didn't direct it,
(00:14:09):
but that kind of started his trajectory of becoming,
(00:14:14):
kind of getting the doors open for him.
(00:14:17):
Hmm.
(00:14:20):
So Steve Martin is like probably one of my like like top five actors.
(00:14:27):
Crushes?
(00:14:28):
No.
(00:14:29):
Oh, actors.
(00:14:30):
Favorite Steve Martin movie is Father of the Bride.
(00:14:33):
Love that movie.
(00:14:34):
But currently I love he's in the show Only Murders in the Building with Martin Short and Selena Gomez.
(00:14:40):
They're all executive producers on the show.
(00:14:42):
It's already been renewed for their fifth season.
(00:14:45):
It's incredible.
(00:14:45):
It's like a they have a podcast.
(00:14:48):
What's it called?
(00:14:49):
It's called only murders in the building.
(00:14:50):
They all live in the same building in New York and murders just keep happening in
(00:14:54):
the building and they have a podcast about it,
(00:14:56):
but it's really funny.
(00:14:58):
But also they solve the murders too.
(00:15:02):
And then John Candy,
(00:15:03):
I think The Great Outdoors is one of my favorites,
(00:15:07):
but also Plane Trains and Automobiles is one of my all-time favorite John Candy.
(00:15:11):
The Great Outdoors is one.
(00:15:13):
And Uncle Buck.
(00:15:14):
Yeah, Uncle Buck's definitely.
(00:15:15):
I can't recall it.
(00:15:16):
The Great Outdoors?
(00:15:17):
Yeah, I know I've seen it.
(00:15:18):
With Dan Aykroyd?
(00:15:18):
I know I've seen it, but it just, it's not there.
(00:15:22):
The bear, the big, the big bear.
(00:15:24):
No, I literally have no recollection.
(00:15:27):
I know I've seen it when I was a kid,
(00:15:29):
but I don't have a recollection of it,
(00:15:30):
so I would love to watch that again.
(00:15:34):
A lot of,
(00:15:35):
like,
(00:15:35):
John Hughes,
(00:15:36):
he had a really short window when he directed and did so much in that amount of time.
(00:15:43):
I know.
(00:15:44):
You would think that it was much, much longer.
(00:15:46):
Right.
(00:15:47):
You would think this guy had a career of,
(00:15:49):
like,
(00:15:49):
25,
(00:15:49):
30 years,
(00:15:50):
and then it ended up being,
(00:15:51):
what,
(00:15:51):
seven years where he was really active in Hollywood.
(00:15:54):
It's pretty remarkable.
(00:15:58):
So this movie is actually based on a very hellish trip that John Hughes had from New York to Chicago.
(00:16:06):
So he based it all off that.
(00:16:07):
And the original script was actually supposed to be four hours long.
(00:16:13):
Well, they recorded four hours of the movie.
(00:16:16):
They had to re-edit and cut it down.
(00:16:18):
That's crazy.
(00:16:19):
And there's actually a moment I want to bring up that you can kind of tell from
(00:16:23):
that because things were cut.
(00:16:26):
I don't know that I actually caught it,
(00:16:28):
but maybe some things shouldn't have been cut that didn't make sense together.
(00:16:32):
Yeah.
(00:16:33):
But this is really cool.
(00:16:34):
So Elton John,
(00:16:36):
apparently,
(00:16:37):
was actually writing the theme song for Planes,
(00:16:40):
Trains,
(00:16:40):
and Automobiles,
(00:16:42):
but Paramount insisted that they have ownership of it,
(00:16:45):
and then Elton John's recording studio pulled out,
(00:16:49):
and the song has never been released.
(00:16:52):
Ooh.
(00:16:52):
Ooh, even to this day.
(00:16:53):
Yeah, I feel like that would be probably amazing, right?
(00:16:57):
Mm-hmm.
(00:16:58):
Okay, so some fun actors that could have played the characters instead of Steve Martin and John Candy.
(00:17:07):
So originally John Hughes wanted Tom Hanks and Tom Hanks would be Neil.
(00:17:15):
And he wanted John Travolta to play Del.
(00:17:18):
And I 100% agree with you, Ryan.
(00:17:20):
I don't like that combo at all.
(00:17:22):
I could see Tom Hanks.
(00:17:23):
But not... Tom Hanks could totally...
(00:17:27):
Tom Hanks could totally pull that off.
(00:17:29):
Yeah, so it wouldn't be this.
(00:17:31):
I don't know.
(00:17:32):
I just found Steve Martin,
(00:17:34):
he played such the good straight man,
(00:17:36):
but he has that comedic side that I thought worked well.
(00:17:41):
I don't know.
(00:17:42):
I find Tom Hanks a little bit more totally the straight guy.
(00:17:46):
He's always serious.
(00:17:46):
Yeah.
(00:17:48):
But at the time, Tom Hanks was busy working on Bigg.
(00:17:52):
and Sean Travolta had had a bunch of movies that didn't do very well,
(00:17:57):
so production wasn't really in favor of him coming.
(00:18:00):
There is another pair that I actually...
(00:18:03):
I mean,
(00:18:04):
I think Steve Martin and John Candy were 100% the right choice,
(00:18:06):
but there's another pair that I actually was like,
(00:18:08):
ooh,
(00:18:09):
I could see that,
(00:18:10):
but I'll bring that up later.
(00:18:11):
She's going to leave us on an edge?
(00:18:13):
I'm going to leave you on the edge.
(00:18:15):
It'll make more sense when I bring it up.
(00:18:20):
So...
(00:18:22):
When I was watching this,
(00:18:23):
one of the things I thought about was when they show Neil Page's house,
(00:18:28):
like the outside of the house,
(00:18:30):
I knew it wasn't the same house.
(00:18:32):
It is the same house.
(00:18:33):
No, it's not.
(00:18:34):
Hell yes, it is.
(00:18:34):
It's not.
(00:18:35):
I looked this up.
(00:18:35):
I said it to her.
(00:18:36):
I know.
(00:18:37):
I was like, that looks like the Home Alone house.
(00:18:39):
It does look like the Home Alone house.
(00:18:41):
So it's not the same house, but it's like a mile away from the Home Alone house.
(00:18:45):
Oh, well then it's the same house.
(00:18:47):
Yeah.
(00:18:47):
It's a St.
(00:18:48):
Sam neighborhood.
(00:18:49):
But it was probably like.
(00:18:51):
Right.
(00:18:51):
Like if you parked your car at, say, the one house.
(00:18:57):
It's almost like parking it at your own house.
(00:19:00):
That's what we're saying, right?
(00:19:03):
Basically, yeah.
(00:19:04):
Okay.
(00:19:04):
Go ahead.
(00:19:07):
It's only a mile.
(00:19:08):
When I saw the house.
(00:19:09):
Was it at the end of the street?
(00:19:10):
Yeah.
(00:19:12):
When I saw it.
(00:19:14):
When I saw the house, I said, that's the Home Alone house.
(00:19:16):
It's identical to it.
(00:19:18):
I literally was thinking about that, Brian.
(00:19:20):
I could see the iron smacking him in the face.
(00:19:22):
But that's why I wanted to look it up because I was like,
(00:19:25):
that has to be...
(00:19:26):
And it was in Chicago too,
(00:19:28):
right?
(00:19:28):
Yeah.
(00:19:29):
No, it's a mile away, but it was in LA.
(00:19:32):
No, I mean that scene.
(00:19:35):
Grand Rapids never looked so good.
(00:19:40):
Yeah, double slingers.
(00:19:45):
Okay.
(00:19:46):
So let's get into the movie.
(00:19:47):
Oh, wait.
(00:19:48):
What?
(00:19:49):
We're not ready?
(00:19:50):
We're not in the movie yet?
(00:19:51):
No, but I'm already at the bottom of page two.
(00:19:54):
Wow.
(00:19:55):
You're hustling tonight.
(00:19:56):
I know, right?
(00:19:57):
Wow.
(00:19:57):
Let's do it.
(00:19:58):
All right.
(00:19:58):
So we are in New York City.
(00:20:00):
It is two days before Thanksgiving, and we open up in Steve Martin, who plays Neil Page.
(00:20:05):
He's at work.
(00:20:06):
He's at work.
(00:20:07):
And he is looking at his plane tickets.
(00:20:10):
He has a plane ticket to the O'Hare Airport in Chicago for 6 p.m.
(00:20:15):
So he's very worried about making it.
(00:20:17):
And his boss is like awkwardly like looking at these.
(00:20:21):
I guess it's like, I don't know, some type of like advertisement they're doing.
(00:20:24):
And he's clearly like just like, and then he'll get up like they're going to leave and sit back down.
(00:20:32):
Like the most annoying thing ever.
(00:20:34):
Did this part remind anyone else of Elf?
(00:20:37):
when they're going through the book.
(00:20:41):
No, no.
(00:20:41):
They're going through the book?
(00:20:42):
Yeah, when they're pitching the book and Miles comes in and he's... Oh, Peter Dinklage, yeah.
(00:20:47):
Yeah, he's looking at it.
(00:20:48):
Yes, oh, that's a good connection.
(00:20:50):
Yeah, I would agree with that, yeah.
(00:20:52):
But I feel like it's like everybody,
(00:20:54):
like,
(00:20:54):
where they can't leave before they're...
(00:20:57):
Well,
(00:20:57):
I don't have that issue,
(00:20:58):
but other people might have that.
(00:21:02):
I feel like it doesn't work now.
(00:21:04):
Everyone works from home and other things, but...
(00:21:07):
Someone out there may have really related to that scene.
(00:21:11):
I don't know.
(00:21:12):
Anybody who schedules a meeting for like 4 p.m.
(00:21:14):
on Friday.
(00:21:15):
And I'm like, really, people?
(00:21:17):
Really?
(00:21:18):
Yeah.
(00:21:18):
That whole scene is elf.
(00:21:20):
Right before Christmas.
(00:21:21):
That and every other movie where there's like elf.
(00:21:24):
I do.
(00:21:25):
I want to do Noel.
(00:21:25):
You do want to do Noel.
(00:21:31):
It says Anna Kendrick.
(00:21:31):
But we're talking about planes right now.
(00:21:32):
Did you watch that movie I told you to watch?
(00:21:34):
Her directorial debut?
(00:21:37):
Oh, wait.
(00:21:37):
I started that at the beginning.
(00:21:38):
Woman of the Hour?
(00:21:39):
The beginning is really good.
(00:21:42):
It's based on a true story.
(00:21:43):
I forgot.
(00:21:44):
We'll have to watch it.
(00:21:45):
You forgot about the Anna Kendrick movie I told you?
(00:21:48):
You'll have to send it again because I don't know where.
(00:21:49):
I couldn't believe it.
(00:21:50):
It's called Woman of the Hour.
(00:21:51):
It's on Netflix.
(00:21:52):
Okay.
(00:21:53):
Woman of the Hour.
(00:21:55):
On Netflix.
(00:21:55):
She's in it, but she's also the director.
(00:21:58):
It's her first movie that she's directed.
(00:21:59):
I'm doing it tonight.
(00:22:01):
No, you're not.
(00:22:02):
Definitely not tonight.
(00:22:04):
Tomorrow.
(00:22:04):
He might.
(00:22:05):
For Anna Kendrick, he might.
(00:22:10):
Some of us have Steve Martin.
(00:22:11):
Others have Anna Kendrick.
(00:22:13):
Ew.
(00:22:14):
Steve Martin is not.
(00:22:15):
You know what?
(00:22:17):
Steve Martin is the guy who looked in the movie.
(00:22:21):
It's like he looks really good now, but it's because he always looked kind of old.
(00:22:25):
Right.
(00:22:26):
They always say like he's looked like he was like 60 since he was like 20.
(00:22:30):
Because in this movie, if I had to guess, he's probably about 40 years old.
(00:22:38):
Maybe 42, right?
(00:22:41):
We can find it out.
(00:22:42):
But the point is, he looks older.
(00:22:45):
Yeah, he let his hair go gray.
(00:22:49):
Yeah, but then as he's aged.
(00:22:50):
He's more white.
(00:22:51):
Well, now he's all white.
(00:22:53):
But like his earlier movies, he's kind of like grayish.
(00:22:56):
42.
(00:22:56):
Yep.
(00:22:59):
I said that.
(00:23:00):
You said 42?
(00:23:00):
Yes.
(00:23:02):
Wow.
(00:23:02):
I said 42.
(00:23:02):
Good call.
(00:23:04):
Was that his acting age or his character age?
(00:23:08):
Or both?
(00:23:09):
He's just Steve Martin was 42, yeah.
(00:23:13):
I have a gift.
(00:23:17):
All right, let's do John Candy.
(00:23:18):
Hang on.
(00:23:21):
This is where I lose it.
(00:23:22):
No, I think John Candy was in his 30s.
(00:23:24):
I'm going to say 39.
(00:23:25):
Yeah.
(00:23:26):
John Candy looked very young.
(00:23:28):
He did look young.
(00:23:29):
John Candy looked like Paul Blart in Mall Cop.
(00:23:33):
All right, what did you say?
(00:23:33):
39.
(00:23:33):
36.
(00:23:33):
36.
(00:23:33):
Can you imagine looking like that?
(00:23:36):
36. 36.
(00:23:41):
I kind of feel bad, but dude, 36, that's young.
(00:23:46):
Okay, that's a nasty way.
(00:23:48):
Oh, wait, wait, I'll do it another way.
(00:23:52):
Damn, you look good.
(00:23:53):
Damn, dude.
(00:23:55):
You go, John Candy.
(00:23:56):
That mustache looks great.
(00:23:59):
You really wear that.
(00:24:01):
Your lip is tickling me, baby.
(00:24:04):
Yeah, that's actually kind of fun.
(00:24:05):
But I feel like also, I don't know if it's like,
(00:24:09):
the fashion or trends of the day.
(00:24:11):
Like,
(00:24:11):
I feel like if you look at pictures of people,
(00:24:13):
like the golden girls,
(00:24:14):
for instance,
(00:24:15):
like when they,
(00:24:20):
that they were supposed to be like 50 when they were like all together.
(00:24:24):
Yeah.
(00:24:25):
They, they use makeup.
(00:24:26):
Yeah.
(00:24:27):
I'm saying the trends, the trends of the time made people look, I think, older than what they do now.
(00:24:35):
You know?
(00:24:36):
Mm-hmm.
(00:24:37):
I still feel like I'm 20.
(00:24:40):
Yeah.
(00:24:42):
I don't.
(00:24:48):
I'm not touching that one.
(00:24:50):
So John Candy.
(00:24:53):
I'm not talking about ages and women.
(00:24:56):
So John Candy was how old in this movie?
(00:24:57):
36?
(00:24:57):
Hmm.
(00:25:00):
He looked older.
(00:25:02):
I would have guessed, okay, if I didn't know anything, I would have said 43.
(00:25:07):
So he's a lot younger than what I thought.
(00:25:13):
Yeah.
(00:25:15):
Anyway.
(00:25:15):
But maybe it was his character playing an older character.
(00:25:19):
Hmm.
(00:25:22):
Because he, I mean, yeah.
(00:25:25):
I don't know.
(00:25:26):
I think he just,
(00:25:27):
I think him and Steve Martin both have that kind of look where they just kind of
(00:25:30):
like look older.
(00:25:32):
But like, like Steve Martin, like he looks good for his age now.
(00:25:36):
Like they just have like an older look about them.
(00:25:39):
I don't know.
(00:25:40):
Like a more sophisticated look.
(00:25:44):
I'm going to let them talk about those two.
(00:25:46):
I'm just going to sit here and listen to them.
(00:25:49):
I mean, look, if you guys have things for Steve Martin and John Candy, go for it.
(00:25:54):
What?
(00:25:58):
Anyway.
(00:25:58):
Moving on so long.
(00:26:01):
When Neil Page gets outside, he needs to hustle and get a taxi.
(00:26:06):
He is kind of racing against this random guy on the streets who happens to be Kevin Bacon to get a taxi.
(00:26:14):
They're racing along and
(00:26:17):
Steve Martin actually trips and then Kevin Bacon gets the taxi that he wanted.
(00:26:23):
And so I actually looked this up.
(00:26:25):
So Kevin Bacon is actually only listed as a taxi racer.
(00:26:29):
That's like his title for the movie.
(00:26:32):
But one other thing I wanted to talk about with him is that later on in the movie
(00:26:36):
there's a scene where it goes back and forth between Neil trying to sleep next to
(00:26:42):
Adele and then it goes to Neil's wife
(00:26:47):
watching TV and on the TV she's watching a movie called She's Having a Baby which
(00:26:54):
hadn't been released at the time yet but it was coming out in theaters like the
(00:27:00):
February following this and it stars Kevin Bacon and this was to help promote the
(00:27:07):
movie so he had a little cameo in it.
(00:27:10):
I did not know that.
(00:27:11):
I have two questions about this because I know that Kevin Bacon was the guy who raised Steve Martin
(00:27:16):
One is, if you notice, Kevin Bacon doesn't have a speaking role in this movie.
(00:27:21):
And I don't know if you know this,
(00:27:22):
but if you don't have a speaking role,
(00:27:24):
you get paid quite a bit less in these movies.
(00:27:27):
So immediately, you know, he's not really making a lot to do it.
(00:27:32):
Well, thinking about it, we just did the Halloween episode.
(00:27:36):
Right.
(00:27:36):
I guess so, 80.
(00:27:37):
Well, I was going to bring that up, though.
(00:27:40):
Which one did he star in of the horror ones?
(00:27:44):
Jason.
(00:27:45):
Friday the 13th.
(00:27:45):
Friday the 13th, yeah.
(00:27:47):
So Friday the 13th was 80.
(00:27:48):
I think it was 80.
(00:27:50):
In the 80s, 82, something like that.
(00:27:54):
I thought it was 80.
(00:27:55):
I thought it was 1980.
(00:27:56):
Okay.
(00:27:58):
And this movie was what, 86?
(00:28:00):
Seven.
(00:28:01):
Seven.
(00:28:03):
87.
(00:28:03):
Okay.
(00:28:04):
Because it does seem like he's a little bit more of an established actor when he's
(00:28:07):
doing this scene,
(00:28:08):
but...
(00:28:09):
Yes,
(00:28:10):
1980,
(00:28:10):
by the way.
(00:28:11):
Not so much that he would...
(00:28:12):
Yeah,
(00:28:12):
maybe...
(00:28:12):
I guess maybe his career took a little while to get...
(00:28:15):
Because,
(00:28:16):
I mean,
(00:28:16):
like,
(00:28:16):
I think he had a lot of roles where he was...
(00:28:19):
Like kind of that minor actor.
(00:28:21):
And like looking back now, it's like, oh, it's Kevin Bacon.
(00:28:23):
But I guess at the time it was.
(00:28:25):
Well, because Kevin Bacon is another example of a guy who looked like he was 45 then.
(00:28:30):
And he's aged great because like he just always looked the same.
(00:28:35):
Like he's he's always had that look.
(00:28:38):
How do they get that?
(00:28:40):
What?
(00:28:41):
How do they get that?
(00:28:41):
Is it?
(00:28:43):
Moisturizer.
(00:28:44):
The moisturizer.
(00:28:48):
That dollar bill feeling.
(00:28:51):
It's the moisturizer.
(00:28:52):
It's a nighttime routine.
(00:28:54):
Cucumbers over the eyes, I hear.
(00:28:56):
It's like great.
(00:28:57):
It's rid of the crow's feet.
(00:28:58):
Yes, yes.
(00:29:02):
So Steve Martin runs into another guy and he ends up actually paying the guy $75 to
(00:29:10):
take the cab that this guy has gotten.
(00:29:12):
But unfortunately, as he's debating about the amount...
(00:29:17):
The car ends up getting another guy and it drives away.
(00:29:21):
And he is chasing it down the street and actually catches up with it and opens the cab door.
(00:29:27):
And inside we see John Candy, who plays Del Griffith, who's like stunned and like, what is happening?
(00:29:33):
Beginning of the end.
(00:29:35):
Yeah, exactly.
(00:29:37):
Did you notice, okay, so two things about that.
(00:29:39):
One is the negotiation.
(00:29:41):
I love that negotiation.
(00:29:42):
Anyone who's willing to pay, was it 50 bucks?
(00:29:44):
Right, and the guy's like... He's willing to pay 100 bucks.
(00:29:46):
I'm like, that's good, I'm going to use that.
(00:29:49):
But then when Steve Martin was running after the cab, did you notice how he looked weird?
(00:29:56):
No.
(00:29:56):
You didn't know that?
(00:29:58):
Rewatch that part.
(00:29:59):
He just looks like he's seven foot tall and flat.
(00:30:03):
Like a cardboard.
(00:30:03):
You think?
(00:30:04):
Yeah, and he's just running.
(00:30:06):
It's weird.
(00:30:06):
It's a weird, weird look to me.
(00:30:08):
That's all I got to say about that.
(00:30:11):
Thanks, Forrest.
(00:30:14):
Glad you picked up on it.
(00:30:17):
So he eventually gets to the airport and his flight is delayed.
(00:30:22):
So he calls his wife and this is when we meet Neil's family and his wife.
(00:30:28):
When you meet immediately, you're like, wow, there's some tension in that household.
(00:30:32):
You didn't see that?
(00:30:37):
No.
(00:30:38):
When he calls his wife, she was just like pissed that she's not going to be like...
(00:30:44):
I mean, it's Thanksgiving.
(00:30:45):
I'm sorry.
(00:30:46):
There's more to it than that.
(00:30:48):
So maybe a lot of traveling, and this happens often.
(00:30:51):
He does a lot of traveling.
(00:30:52):
Yeah, that's what I got.
(00:30:53):
He gets stuck in airports.
(00:30:54):
He's like, again.
(00:30:55):
It sets it up for the future.
(00:30:57):
Okay.
(00:30:58):
Yeah, that's what I did.
(00:31:00):
But we meet his wife, Susan Page, who is played by, is it Layla or Lila Robbins?
(00:31:06):
I've seen her in some other things.
(00:31:08):
She was just in that show, The Boys.
(00:31:11):
You guys seen that?
(00:31:11):
Nope.
(00:31:12):
Pretty good.
(00:31:13):
But they have three kids and actually one of them I recognized immediately is
(00:31:18):
played by Matthew Lawrence,
(00:31:20):
who I don't know if you guys,
(00:31:20):
there's the three Lawrence brothers,
(00:31:22):
they're actors.
(00:31:24):
And he has been in a bunch of things, but I know him most from Mrs. Doubtfire.
(00:31:29):
He's one of the kids and he's in Boy Meets World.
(00:31:34):
yeah so um when they show i think we talked about um the house immediately they
(00:31:41):
show it like before he calls his wife that is the home alone house like it it just
(00:31:46):
i was like it but i think it's really cool that it is like it is close it is
(00:31:51):
literally like a mile away and so um and it's it's a john hughes movie so he must
(00:31:56):
have been scouting out the neighborhoods and everything but did you guys see that
(00:31:59):
recently the home alone house is up for sale
(00:32:01):
I did.
(00:32:02):
For $1.3 billion?
(00:32:03):
It is gorgeous inside.
(00:32:05):
It's not that expensive.
(00:32:06):
What is it?
(00:32:07):
I think it was right around the million.
(00:32:09):
Okay, that's not bad.
(00:32:11):
It's gorgeous inside,
(00:32:12):
but it's also,
(00:32:12):
if you look at the pictures,
(00:32:14):
obviously it's more modern looking,
(00:32:16):
but it's like,
(00:32:18):
that's the inside.
(00:32:22):
There's actually a picture that they show where it's from the top of the staircase.
(00:32:27):
When he does the sled thing, I'm like, this is the actual.
(00:32:30):
It doesn't look like they changed the inside.
(00:32:33):
They update it, but they haven't changed layout.
(00:32:36):
Pretty cool.
(00:32:38):
Um,
(00:32:38):
but so Neil is sitting and he's waiting for his plane and he looks up and he
(00:32:43):
realizes that this man sitting across from him is the guy from the cat.
(00:32:47):
Because if you notice,
(00:32:48):
when he originally trips and doesn't get the cab,
(00:32:51):
he trips over Del's brief,
(00:32:53):
like that big trunk.
(00:32:55):
It's a giant trunk.
(00:32:56):
Oh, yes.
(00:32:57):
He looks back and he sees his name and he's just like, son of a bitch.
(00:33:00):
Yeah.
(00:33:02):
So he addresses him and tells him that he stole his cab.
(00:33:09):
And Del, he apologizes.
(00:33:11):
Well, because originally Del's like,
(00:33:13):
hey, I know you.
(00:33:15):
Yeah.
(00:33:16):
I don't forget a face.
(00:33:16):
You look familiar.
(00:33:18):
And he's like, oh, you know me, do you?
(00:33:20):
It's because you stole my cat.
(00:33:24):
Those two together were just hilarious.
(00:33:25):
Oh, totally.
(00:33:26):
Yeah, it's like polar opposite personalities.
(00:33:28):
And then he goes, I never stole a thing in my life.
(00:33:31):
I don't know.
(00:33:31):
Yeah, yeah.
(00:33:33):
You just sounded like Norman, right?
(00:33:35):
Yeah.
(00:33:35):
You totally did.
(00:33:35):
You went back to the Williams.
(00:33:38):
You went to the Golden Pond episode right there.
(00:33:41):
Trying not to, goddammit.
(00:33:42):
No.
(00:33:44):
You've got to work on your John Candy.
(00:33:46):
I have to.
(00:33:49):
That's your role.
(00:33:50):
Forget the stars and all that stuff, the ratings.
(00:33:54):
Get the accents.
(00:33:54):
Get the voice down for the main actors.
(00:33:57):
For the next one, I'll do that.
(00:33:59):
Thank you for letting me know what my role is.
(00:34:04):
Um, but Dell, he like profusely apologizes.
(00:34:07):
He did not realize it was his cab and he like totally wants to make it up to Neil
(00:34:12):
and he's offering him like anything.
(00:34:13):
He's like, I'll get you a hot dog, beer, coffee, milk, soda, tea, lifesavers, slurpee.
(00:34:21):
He does not want any of this.
(00:34:23):
Um,
(00:34:24):
but so they finally get on the plane and Neil is very upset because he's given a
(00:34:31):
coach seat instead of first class.
(00:34:34):
Very upset about this.
(00:34:36):
And then finally, when he does sit down, of course he's in a middle seat.
(00:34:41):
And he's next to Del.
(00:34:43):
And Del finally does formally introduce himself as Del Griffith,
(00:34:47):
American Light and Fixture Director of Sales,
(00:34:49):
Shower Curtain Ring Division.
(00:34:51):
And he shows him the shower curtain rings that he saw.
(00:34:54):
Mm-hmm.
(00:34:55):
Mm-hmm.
(00:34:58):
And as the plane takes off, he starts taking off his shoes and his socks.
(00:35:05):
And then the man on the other side of Neil is like sleeping on a shoulder and coughing.
(00:35:10):
And Del's like squishing him on the other side.
(00:35:16):
I never did introduce myself.
(00:35:17):
Del Griffith, American Light and Fixture, Director of Sales, Shower Curtain Ring Division.
(00:35:24):
I sell shower curtain rings.
(00:35:28):
Best in the world.
(00:35:30):
And you are?
(00:35:32):
Neil Page.
(00:35:34):
Neil Page.
(00:35:34):
Pleased to meet you, Neil Page.
(00:35:36):
So what do you do for a living, Neil Page?
(00:35:37):
Marketing.
(00:35:38):
Marketing.
(00:35:39):
Super.
(00:35:39):
Super.
(00:35:40):
Fabulous.
(00:35:42):
Isn't that nice?
(00:35:44):
Look, I don't want to be rude, but I'm not much of a conversationalist.
(00:35:48):
Let me stand in your way.
(00:35:49):
Please don't let me stand in your way.
(00:35:51):
The last thing I want to be remembered as is an annoying blabbermouth.
(00:35:55):
Nothing grinds my gears worse than some chowderhead who doesn't know when to keep his big trap shut.
(00:36:00):
If you catch me running off of the mouth, just give me a poke in the chops.
(00:36:07):
Feels good.
(00:36:08):
I'm telling you.
(00:36:10):
My dogs are barking today.
(00:36:12):
Those dogs are barking today.
(00:36:16):
I mean, that's horrifying.
(00:36:17):
So, Ryan, tell us about your experiences.
(00:36:21):
About my dogs?
(00:36:23):
No.
(00:36:23):
My dogs don't bark.
(00:36:25):
I will take my shoes off.
(00:36:26):
People you've blown with who've taken their shoes off.
(00:36:32):
There's people that will take their shoes off.
(00:36:34):
They've really...
(00:36:35):
Yes, all the time.
(00:36:36):
And they move their toes around and they wiggle them.
(00:36:40):
And then they massage them.
(00:36:42):
It's disgusting.
(00:36:44):
I cannot imagine taking my shoes off in a public place.
(00:36:49):
They don't take their socks off, though, do they?
(00:36:51):
I haven't seen that, but people do wear open-toed or sandals or flip-flops.
(00:36:55):
And then they take their flip-flops off and they start rubbing their feet.
(00:36:58):
They get all into it.
(00:37:00):
Yeah, it's disgusting.
(00:37:01):
Yeah.
(00:37:02):
I might never fly again.
(00:37:04):
It's awful.
(00:37:05):
It really is bad.
(00:37:06):
Well, my story is way different than that.
(00:37:11):
Are you the one that takes the shoes off?
(00:37:13):
No, it has nothing to do with the shoes.
(00:37:15):
She's like, this guy was giving me dirty looks.
(00:37:17):
All I was doing was rubbing the balls in my feet.
(00:37:21):
It was you.
(00:37:23):
No, so this one time, I was on a plane ride, and have you guys ever seen the movie Bridesmaids?
(00:37:29):
Yes.
(00:37:31):
So you know the plane scene?
(00:37:33):
I felt like I was literally in that scene.
(00:37:35):
There was a bachelorette party on the plane with me and the bride was like standing on the seat
(00:37:44):
They were like going crazy.
(00:37:45):
They bought me drinks while we were there.
(00:37:47):
And the flight attendant actually had to come over and give them like warnings.
(00:37:53):
And ironically, I was on my way to a bachelor party.
(00:37:57):
But that's fun.
(00:37:58):
That's not stinking feet getting rubbed.
(00:38:00):
No, yes.
(00:38:01):
But I was a little worried we were going to actually have to.
(00:38:04):
Yeah.
(00:38:05):
Land somewhere.
(00:38:07):
It was getting actually pretty bad.
(00:38:09):
She would not sit down.
(00:38:12):
The other bad thing on a plane is when people blow their nose and then put it into a little seat pocket.
(00:38:18):
And they just keep stashing them there the whole ride.
(00:38:21):
Yeah, you fly with the worst people.
(00:38:24):
Well, shit happens.
(00:38:28):
There's plenty of stories there, yeah.
(00:38:29):
But you got the coughers, the sneezers.
(00:38:32):
Mm-hmm.
(00:38:34):
The one guy who sits next to you and he's like, yeah, guess my fart.
(00:38:38):
And I'm like... Those are pretty funny.
(00:38:41):
I'm like... And he's like... Wrong.
(00:38:48):
Let me show you how it goes.
(00:38:53):
No, that was not a bad flyer.
(00:38:56):
We became best friends.
(00:38:57):
I'm sitting across from him right now.
(00:39:00):
Yeah.
(00:39:06):
I'm feeling some edits coming.
(00:39:08):
Okay.
(00:39:10):
Okay, I've been so much better about the edits.
(00:39:13):
You have.
(00:39:14):
That's right.
(00:39:15):
I'm not bothered by that.
(00:39:16):
Good.
(00:39:17):
That's great.
(00:39:20):
Katie Cuts is Latin and didn't.
(00:39:23):
We're not making that a segment.
(00:39:25):
That's not.
(00:39:28):
The Katie Cuts segment.
(00:39:29):
Katie Cuts.
(00:39:32):
We need like a cutting sound effect.
(00:39:34):
There you go.
(00:39:36):
Cut it out.
(00:39:37):
Sponsored by Joey from Full House.
(00:39:42):
Katie Cuts.
(00:39:43):
Katie Cuts.
(00:39:44):
Sponsored by Joey.
(00:39:48):
That's what that Elinus Morissette song, right?
(00:39:52):
Mm-hmm.
(00:39:53):
That's insane.
(00:39:54):
What?
(00:39:56):
Her one song?
(00:39:56):
Yeah, the song.
(00:39:58):
That's her ex, right?
(00:40:00):
It was written about Joey from Full House.
(00:40:02):
Oh, really?
(00:40:02):
What song?
(00:40:03):
Yeah, it was.
(00:40:05):
I'm a lover.
(00:40:06):
I'm a lover.
(00:40:07):
That one?
(00:40:07):
The one where she just shits on men.
(00:40:10):
It's all about him.
(00:40:10):
I didn't know that.
(00:40:11):
The cut it out guy.
(00:40:12):
Oh.
(00:40:14):
It's all about Joey.
(00:40:16):
It'll never be the same for me now.
(00:40:17):
Uncle Joey.
(00:40:20):
All right.
(00:40:20):
Well, eventually, because of weather, they have to land in Wichita, Kansas.
(00:40:26):
So Neil has to let his wife know that he is delayed.
(00:40:29):
And there's an announcement that the flight is actually totally canceled.
(00:40:33):
And did you see the guy that made the announcement?
(00:40:36):
No.
(00:40:37):
Ben Stein.
(00:40:38):
Bueller.
(00:40:39):
Ben Stein.
(00:40:42):
Yes, that is so funny.
(00:40:44):
I saw him and I thought, and I was like, no.
(00:40:47):
I completely forgot about that until just now.
(00:40:50):
I also think of him as the dry eyes guy.
(00:40:53):
Clear eyes for dry eyes.
(00:40:55):
I'll confess, I didn't think Bueller.
(00:40:58):
You thought dry eyes.
(00:41:01):
Exactly what I thought.
(00:41:02):
Win Ben Stein's money.
(00:41:04):
Remember that one?
(00:41:05):
No.
(00:41:06):
Alrighty, let's move on.
(00:41:07):
That's a show?
(00:41:08):
It was a show.
(00:41:08):
Yes, I remember that show.
(00:41:09):
Because Ben Stein was like a prominent like speech writer for I think Clinton or something.
(00:41:15):
Really?
(00:41:15):
Oh my gosh, wow.
(00:41:16):
Yeah, Ben Stein was a very prominent.
(00:41:18):
I feel like they could have given him more than like Bueller.
(00:41:21):
Bueller.
(00:41:21):
Well, when he went...
(00:41:23):
When he got an actor, he didn't get into too much.
(00:41:26):
But anyway, he went in and he was doing Win Ben Stein's Money.
(00:41:29):
And the person who was opposite him, I think in that show, was Jimmy Kimmel, I think.
(00:41:36):
It was Jimmy Kimmel and Ben Stein.
(00:41:39):
Because Ben Stein's so smart, it was really hard to win his money.
(00:41:42):
Wow.
(00:41:43):
That's cool.
(00:41:43):
I never heard of that show.
(00:41:45):
I know that.
(00:41:45):
Yeah.
(00:41:47):
So Dell offers to help Neil get a motel room and he lets him know he knows this motel owner.
(00:41:53):
So as they pay for their motel, Neil accidentally picks up Dell's credit card.
(00:41:59):
They get switched.
(00:42:02):
Kind of foreshadowing that we know something may result from this.
(00:42:07):
But since they're booked, they have to share a room.
(00:42:10):
And as they get in there, we see there is one bed that they will be sharing.
(00:42:15):
I mean...
(00:42:18):
Having to share a bed with a stranger is absolutely horrifying.
(00:42:22):
Especially when he looks like John Candy.
(00:42:24):
I would sleep on the floor.
(00:42:26):
Yeah.
(00:42:30):
You flip a coin,
(00:42:31):
one of you gets to bed,
(00:42:33):
and one of you can take that nice fluffy comforter and go to the floor.
(00:42:37):
There was a chair in the room, though.
(00:42:39):
Just the chair, though?
(00:42:41):
I couldn't sleep in a chair.
(00:42:42):
I'd rather a chair than a motel.
(00:42:43):
I can't sleep sitting up.
(00:42:45):
I cannot.
(00:42:45):
Yeah, but you have, like, roaches and stuff.
(00:42:48):
Oh, God.
(00:42:48):
Well, okay, now I'm not sleeping anywhere.
(00:42:50):
Just not roaches?
(00:42:51):
What are the roaches?
(00:42:52):
Did you see the motel they were in?
(00:42:54):
It's a motel, yeah.
(00:42:54):
Oh, in that motel, there might have been roaches.
(00:42:56):
That's true.
(00:42:58):
So, funny part, fact, about this scene, about this part, it was all... Ad-libs?
(00:43:04):
Yeah, it was all...
(00:43:07):
Improvise.
(00:43:07):
Improvise, yes.
(00:43:09):
I said ad-libbed, but improvised is, you know, an adjective for ad-libbed, right?
(00:43:17):
Or synonym, right?
(00:43:18):
Synonym.
(00:43:19):
All right, so as Neil is trying to sleep, Del is literally, like, cracking every body part.
(00:43:27):
At one point, I think he's, like, reading using, like, a lighter in the bed.
(00:43:30):
Mm-hmm.
(00:43:34):
Yeah, he keeps clearing his throat.
(00:43:37):
Oh, God.
(00:43:38):
Oh, my God.
(00:43:39):
So, I am personally, like, the lightest sleeper ever.
(00:43:43):
During this moment, I was, like, I'm, like, actually getting, like, uncomfortable.
(00:43:47):
Like, this is, like, ugh.
(00:43:49):
But, so... What about the beer thing, too?
(00:43:52):
Are we...
(00:43:54):
Well, I'm trying to think.
(00:43:56):
Let me know if I'm too far ahead,
(00:43:58):
but he makes a reference that he's like,
(00:44:02):
he's like,
(00:44:02):
I'm really sorry the beers exploded.
(00:44:07):
And he says, well, you put them on a vibrating bed, Del.
(00:44:13):
So he ends up sleeping on a side of the bed where the beers had exploded and made
(00:44:19):
the side of the bed smell like beer.
(00:44:22):
Oh, I don't think I saw that.
(00:44:25):
Really?
(00:44:25):
Yeah.
(00:44:26):
What was interesting,
(00:44:27):
it was a really small,
(00:44:29):
subtle scene,
(00:44:30):
and I was just like,
(00:44:31):
I bet you there was more that they end up cutting out from that.
(00:44:34):
100%.
(00:44:34):
Right, because they mentioned the beer.
(00:44:37):
Do you remember this?
(00:44:38):
So something had happened.
(00:44:40):
Yeah.
(00:44:40):
Maybe it just didn't make sense.
(00:44:41):
When Steve Martin's sleeping, he's pissed off because his side of the bed had exploded beer on it.
(00:44:49):
Oh, yeah, and then he sat down in it, like laid in it.
(00:44:52):
Yeah, and he ended up sleeping with beer on the bed.
(00:44:55):
Yeah, yeah.
(00:44:56):
And he's like, when I put the cans down on the bed, I didn't think they'd explode.
(00:45:00):
He was like, it's a vibrating bed, Del.
(00:45:04):
I thought that was great.
(00:45:07):
So eventually Neil totally freaks out and like jumps out of bed.
(00:45:12):
And this is like, I was like, that's literally me.
(00:45:16):
Like I cannot handle like any type of like disturbance to my sleep.
(00:45:22):
If I'm hearing someone snoring or anything, I am like,
(00:45:30):
My skin crawls.
(00:45:31):
I'm like, oh, it must be nice to be sitting there sleeping.
(00:45:37):
And I can't.
(00:45:38):
I literally have to have... I sleep with a noise maker.
(00:45:42):
I have to have my face mask over my eyes.
(00:45:47):
It has to be pitch black.
(00:45:50):
I have to be in perfect... Face mask?
(00:45:52):
Like eye mask.
(00:45:54):
You wear an eye mask?
(00:45:55):
Yeah.
(00:45:56):
It has to be pitch black.
(00:45:58):
The littlest amount of light.
(00:45:59):
I can't.
(00:46:01):
The littlest amount of sound.
(00:46:03):
Like when he got up and started freaking out, I'm like, I'm with you.
(00:46:07):
I'm with you, Steve Martin.
(00:46:10):
That is not okay, Del.
(00:46:14):
But this is when they start arguing back and forth,
(00:46:17):
basically about like what annoys them about each other,
(00:46:20):
which I think is so funny because how long have they known each other at this point?
(00:46:24):
They were like a married couple at this point.
(00:46:26):
Yeah, exactly.
(00:46:27):
Do we want to play that clip?
(00:46:37):
Why?
(00:46:38):
Why?
(00:46:38):
If I don't clear my sinuses, I'll snore all night.
(00:46:43):
Gee, if your kid spills his milk, what do you do, slap him in the head?
(00:46:46):
What?
(00:46:47):
What?
(00:46:47):
What is that supposed to mean?
(00:46:49):
You're not a very tolerant person.
(00:46:51):
Look, you've been under my skin since New York, starting with ripping off my cab.
(00:46:55):
God, you're a tight ass.
(00:46:58):
Held you like a mouthful of teeth.
(00:47:00):
Oh, and hostile too.
(00:47:02):
Nice personality combination.
(00:47:03):
Hostile and intolerant.
(00:47:05):
That's borderline criminal.
(00:47:06):
Screw you.
(00:47:07):
You spill beer all over the bed.
(00:47:09):
You smoke.
(00:47:10):
You mess up the bathroom.
(00:47:11):
Who let you stay in the room?
(00:47:13):
I even let you pay for it so you wouldn't feel like an intruder, which you most certainly are.
(00:47:18):
Here's a good idea.
(00:47:20):
Have a point.
(00:47:21):
It makes it so much more interesting for the listener.
(00:47:25):
Del's just doing at this point.
(00:47:27):
He looks like he's ready to explode.
(00:47:31):
By the way, in a fight, I think Del kicked Steve Martin's ass all day long.
(00:47:35):
Well, duh.
(00:47:37):
He's going to sit on him.
(00:47:39):
No.
(00:47:39):
Wait.
(00:47:40):
Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better.
(00:47:43):
I'm an easy target.
(00:47:47):
Yeah, you're right.
(00:47:49):
I talk too much.
(00:47:52):
I also listen too much.
(00:47:55):
I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you.
(00:47:59):
But I don't like to hurt people's feelings.
(00:48:02):
Well, you think what you want about me.
(00:48:04):
I'm not changing.
(00:48:06):
I like, I like me.
(00:48:08):
My wife likes me.
(00:48:10):
My customers like me.
(00:48:13):
Because I'm the real article.
(00:48:15):
What you see is what you get.
(00:48:21):
Okay, so one thing I like, I thought that was kind of a sad scene.
(00:48:29):
I love that he stood up for himself,
(00:48:32):
but at the same time,
(00:48:34):
that's that moment where I felt like I realized John Candy could have been a really,
(00:48:40):
really good,
(00:48:40):
like,
(00:48:41):
serious actor.
(00:48:42):
Like,
(00:48:42):
he explores,
(00:48:45):
like,
(00:48:46):
this could have been just a stupid little,
(00:48:48):
you know,
(00:48:48):
dumb,
(00:48:49):
they hate each other movie,
(00:48:50):
but there's layers to his acting here that I think gives it that much more authenticity.
(00:48:58):
And he reminds me of like what he could have been reminds me of what Robin Williams was.
(00:49:06):
Like how Robin Williams went from that cheeky,
(00:49:11):
all comedy kind of career,
(00:49:13):
but then he ended up exploring and then ended up becoming a really good dramatic actor.
(00:49:17):
And I feel like if John Kennedy hadn't died early, he probably would have gone into more dramatic roles.
(00:49:26):
Yeah, I agree with that.
(00:49:27):
Do you know how a modern-day version of that... Steve Carell is kind of like that.
(00:49:31):
Mm-hmm.
(00:49:32):
A great example.
(00:49:33):
Yeah.
(00:49:33):
Yeah, because anything he does has been phenomenal.
(00:49:37):
When he does dramatic roles, they're great.
(00:49:39):
You don't realize that he...
(00:49:41):
had that in him yeah I agree well I said it so I agree of course thank you good
(00:49:49):
point John thank you the other thing on this scene which we don't know yet but
(00:49:54):
later in the movie we find out a lot of what he said isn't actually the case
(00:50:00):
Yeah, about the whole thing.
(00:50:03):
So it's setting the tone for the rest of the movie at this point.
(00:50:08):
It's even more so like it's like his own voice standing up for himself kind of thing.
(00:50:16):
But when they do actually go to sleep, they're...
(00:50:22):
My favorite part of the movie.
(00:50:23):
Well, first, a thief comes in.
(00:50:26):
Yes.
(00:50:26):
Steals the money out of their wallets.
(00:50:29):
It's a very, like, random, like, tiny scene.
(00:50:33):
Which is why this thing was four hours long and it had to be cut.
(00:50:36):
Right.
(00:50:36):
So there's moments where... There must have been, like, so many things.
(00:50:39):
It must have been, like, on Golden Pond, right?
(00:50:42):
This kept going forever.
(00:50:44):
But clearly this was sort of still included, but there was more to it that had to be cut.
(00:50:50):
So it doesn't quite make that much sense that they just randomly get robbed.
(00:50:55):
Well, it makes sense in the fact that it's just an awkward show.
(00:50:59):
It's an awkward movie.
(00:51:00):
There's random things that are happening.
(00:51:02):
They can't seem to get on the same page.
(00:51:04):
And then he blames Del for stealing his money.
(00:51:07):
Yeah, he does.
(00:51:09):
But as they wake up,
(00:51:11):
we see del is on top of neil and he's like kissing his ear he's kind of like he's
(00:51:19):
kind of like nibbling his ear yeah and they're they're making like and and also
(00:51:24):
neil's like really enjoying it and it's why did you kiss my ear why are you holding
(00:51:33):
my hand where's your other hand between two pillows
(00:51:41):
Those aren't pillows.
(00:51:53):
All right, come on.
(00:51:53):
That's great.
(00:51:54):
That was great.
(00:51:55):
And that was completely improv there.
(00:51:57):
That was improv?
(00:51:58):
That was all improv.
(00:51:59):
That whole scene?
(00:51:59):
That entire scene was all improv.
(00:52:01):
Really?
(00:52:01):
Yes.
(00:52:02):
So he started nibbling his ear?
(00:52:04):
That was not in the script.
(00:52:07):
Now, I didn't cut it there.
(00:52:09):
I should have extended it, but you can hear the nibbling and the kissing.
(00:52:14):
Ew.
(00:52:15):
He's like, why are you kissing my ear?
(00:52:19):
That was very genuine.
(00:52:20):
Yeah,
(00:52:20):
so the original scene,
(00:52:22):
they were just supposed to be snuggling,
(00:52:24):
and then he was supposed to do whatever.
(00:52:26):
And he just started nibbling his ear.
(00:52:28):
And then they took it further.
(00:52:30):
I don't have a lot of notes on this,
(00:52:31):
but I do know that John Candy did a lot of improv,
(00:52:36):
and it drove Steve Martin nuts.
(00:52:39):
Well, they played off each other well.
(00:52:40):
Well, maybe they're very much like their characters.
(00:52:46):
I'm pretty sure John Candy legitimately was washing his socks in the sink.
(00:52:52):
That scene where they're going at each other and telling them everything they hate
(00:52:56):
about each other,
(00:52:57):
I felt like that was a little personal.
(00:52:58):
Yeah, they probably had something to that.
(00:53:03):
But right after they get out of the bed, they are immediately totally freaked out.
(00:53:10):
How about that Bears game, guys?
(00:53:17):
So, Neil goes to the bathroom, and he finds Del's socks in the sink.
(00:53:22):
I have that.
(00:53:22):
We can actually play that if you want.
(00:53:24):
Okay.
(00:53:30):
He's splashing water up on his face, just trying to, like, refresh.
(00:53:33):
Oh.
(00:53:36):
Oh.
(00:53:45):
Hey, Neil, take my socks out of the sink if you're going to brush your teeth, all right?
(00:53:52):
He's splashing water up on his face.
(00:53:54):
He's just trying to,
(00:53:55):
like,
(00:53:56):
refresh,
(00:53:56):
and then you can see he starts to,
(00:53:58):
like,
(00:53:58):
wrinkle his nose because there's a smell,
(00:54:01):
and he looks down and sees Del's socks in the sink.
(00:54:04):
And then did you also see he's, like, wiping his face, and it's Del's underwear?
(00:54:08):
Oh, yeah.
(00:54:09):
Big-ass, tiny-whities.
(00:54:11):
I got to tell you.
(00:54:15):
Have you done that before?
(00:54:16):
I feel like a story has come that you've done this before.
(00:54:18):
I've got to tell you.
(00:54:20):
I feel like from seven, you've really probably focused on this part.
(00:54:26):
What brand was it?
(00:54:27):
Yeah, yeah.
(00:54:28):
Were they sequined?
(00:54:29):
What part were they...
(00:54:32):
You really liked the underwear scene in 7 from the lawyer who was... Oh!
(00:54:40):
Yeah, that's funny.
(00:54:42):
And by the way,
(00:54:43):
if he was washing his face with Del's underwear,
(00:54:45):
you know,
(00:54:45):
Del probably wasn't wearing any underwear at this point.
(00:54:48):
Oh, good point.
(00:54:49):
Because he didn't really have... Oh, I didn't think about that.
(00:54:52):
All right, maybe.
(00:54:53):
Maybe.
(00:54:53):
Hmm.
(00:54:55):
So they go to a diner and Neil sees that his wallet is empty and he immediately
(00:55:01):
accuses Dell of stealing his money.
(00:55:03):
But when he looks in Dell's wallet, his money is also gone.
(00:55:07):
Dell at this point says, I know exactly how much he knows he has to the penny.
(00:55:13):
He said, I have 86 dollars and 11 cents or something like that.
(00:55:15):
Yeah.
(00:55:16):
And then he looks and he's like, oh, shit.
(00:55:20):
So they do get a man to come pick them up to take them to the train station.
(00:55:26):
And they have to sit in the back of the truck.
(00:55:29):
But the guy who picks them up is the hotel owner's son.
(00:55:33):
Correct, yes.
(00:55:35):
And Neil asks, they're sitting in the back with like the dog and it's clearly freezing.
(00:55:41):
And Neil just asked Del, he said, what do you think the temperature is?
(00:55:45):
And he just goes, one.
(00:55:46):
One.
(00:55:51):
So during that scene,
(00:55:52):
though,
(00:55:53):
apparently,
(00:55:53):
so,
(00:55:53):
like,
(00:55:54):
there's a part where the truck driver shakes Steve Martin's hand,
(00:55:59):
and apparently John Hughes secretly told the man to spit in his hand before shaking
(00:56:05):
Steve Martin's hand.
(00:56:08):
And when you see that,
(00:56:09):
like,
(00:56:09):
total,
(00:56:10):
like,
(00:56:10):
look of disgust on Steve Martin's face,
(00:56:12):
that was completely genuine because that was totally...
(00:56:15):
I wasn't expecting it.
(00:56:17):
Yeah, yeah, that was...
(00:56:19):
Um, but when they get there, they get their train tickets, but, um, they're the last tickets.
(00:56:25):
So they're not going to be sitting together.
(00:56:26):
So Dell asked Neil for his address so he can send him some money for the train ticket.
(00:56:31):
But Neil insists like, it's a gift.
(00:56:33):
Don't worry about it.
(00:56:34):
Also,
(00:56:35):
I'm not so sure if I knew a person like for a couple hours,
(00:56:37):
I'd be giving out my home address either,
(00:56:39):
but yeah.
(00:56:41):
Um,
(00:56:42):
so I noticed like,
(00:56:43):
so when they're in the train,
(00:56:45):
Neil's sitting next to this like little girl and I noticed that he actually starts
(00:56:48):
making conversation with her.
(00:56:51):
So I felt like this was a little bit of like Dell rubbing off on him.
(00:56:55):
Yeah.
(00:56:56):
Um, so of course then the train breaks down.
(00:56:59):
Um, so then they have to walk like a mile to get to a bus station.
(00:57:03):
Oh my God.
(00:57:04):
and del's kind of like walking with his trunk like ahead of him and he's like
(00:57:07):
dragging it and neil comes up and he does grab the back end and he helps him carry
(00:57:12):
it um so i feel like my favorite part about del is that he just like makes like the
(00:57:20):
best of every moment so when they they finally get this like bus ticket
(00:57:25):
And they're on this bus and Neil is just,
(00:57:28):
he's like,
(00:57:29):
all the bus riders are kind of like singing things and doing things together.
(00:57:33):
And Neil does try to join in.
(00:57:36):
But he starts singing.
(00:57:37):
I don't even know what the song is.
(00:57:39):
He sings something and everyone's just like.
(00:57:41):
They have no idea what he's talking about.
(00:57:44):
But then Del starts singing and he starts singing the Flintstone theme song.
(00:57:51):
And everyone joins in.
(00:57:52):
Who wants to sing a tune?
(00:57:54):
Who's got a song?
(00:57:56):
I got one.
(00:57:57):
You got one.
(00:57:57):
Neil Page has got one.
(00:58:00):
Three coins in a fountain.
(00:58:03):
Each one seeking happiness.
(00:58:05):
You know this, seeking happiness.
(00:58:06):
Throne by three hopeful lovers, no?
(00:58:12):
Flintstones, meet the Flintstones.
(00:58:15):
They're the modern Tony Kamali.
(00:58:19):
From the town of Bedrock, they're a page right out of history.
(00:58:25):
When you're with the Flintstones, have a yamadabadoo time, a yamadabadoo time, you'll have a gale.
(00:58:36):
Okay.
(00:58:36):
What was the first song?
(00:58:38):
I don't know what that first song was.
(00:58:40):
Three coins.
(00:58:41):
No, never heard of it.
(00:58:42):
But I got to tell you,
(00:58:43):
after he's trying to do it,
(00:58:45):
and then John Candy starts the Flintstones,
(00:58:49):
you can see Steve Martin just roll his eyes like this.
(00:58:53):
He's just so frustrated.
(00:58:55):
Yeah.
(00:58:56):
So a funny thing I wanted to bring up with this is so originally I was saying there
(00:59:00):
was like this pair that had been considered for these roles that I wanted to bring
(00:59:04):
up later.
(00:59:06):
So the other pair that I thought was actually pretty good was Rick Moranis as Neil
(00:59:14):
and John Goodman as Del.
(00:59:16):
And I bring it up now because in 1994, they played Fred and Barney in the first
(00:59:23):
The lie of Flintstone.
(00:59:26):
So it's a little bit ironic.
(00:59:28):
That's funny.
(00:59:30):
That's a pairing I could see.
(00:59:31):
I could see that too.
(00:59:34):
Rick Moranis?
(00:59:36):
Ghostbusters?
(00:59:36):
Are you kidding me?
(00:59:38):
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids?
(00:59:40):
Little Giants?
(00:59:46):
I could see that because I could totally see John Goodman doing this.
(00:59:50):
Yeah, John could have been so good.
(00:59:51):
He's so good.
(00:59:52):
Although, John Kane is better.
(00:59:53):
Rick Moranis was an incredible actor, too.
(00:59:55):
Yeah, Parenthood.
(00:59:56):
Yes, and he's in that with Steve Martin, too.
(00:59:59):
Yes, exactly.
(01:00:00):
Those two could have done it.
(01:00:01):
He stopped acting because his wife passed away, and he wanted to spend more time with his kids.
(01:00:07):
Rick Moranis, too?
(01:00:08):
Yeah.
(01:00:08):
I didn't know that.
(01:00:09):
Yeah.
(01:00:10):
So he's a really good actor and a really good guy.
(01:00:12):
It would be neat if they did...
(01:00:14):
Two versions with each group and see which one was better.
(01:00:20):
How much money would that cost?
(01:00:24):
It would be interesting, but I thought that was a pair that I was like, I could see that.
(01:00:27):
I'm sure there's an AI out there that can make that happen.
(01:00:30):
Okay.
(01:00:31):
All right.
(01:00:31):
Kevin or Callum can do that first.
(01:00:33):
Somebody will do it.
(01:00:34):
Yeah.
(01:00:35):
All right.
(01:00:36):
So...
(01:00:38):
When they finally do get off the bus, they have to try to make some more money.
(01:00:42):
And Del starts trying to sell his curtain rings.
(01:00:45):
As earrings.
(01:00:46):
As earrings.
(01:00:48):
And these teenage girls are loving it.
(01:00:51):
Like they are all in for this.
(01:00:52):
They're like clip-ons.
(01:00:53):
I love it though.
(01:00:54):
He sells so much.
(01:00:56):
He makes like a hundred bucks.
(01:00:57):
Yeah.
(01:01:00):
But he's selling shower curtain rings.
(01:01:03):
Yeah.
(01:01:04):
Throughout the whole movie,
(01:01:05):
I thought he was really funny,
(01:01:07):
but it was probably right around the part where he gave him the guilt trip in the
(01:01:11):
bedroom when they were arguing.
(01:01:13):
And then especially at this point that I really started to like him in the movie.
(01:01:18):
I just thought, this guy's actually pretty good.
(01:01:20):
Bell?
(01:01:21):
Yeah.
(01:01:23):
I started to really like the character at this point.
(01:01:26):
Yeah.
(01:01:28):
So they end up going to a diner and they're talking about home a little bit.
(01:01:32):
And Del says that he hasn't been home for years.
(01:01:35):
And he says that it's just a figure of speech,
(01:01:38):
but it's a little bit foreshadowing of what we'll find out later.
(01:01:42):
You do get the feeling that something isn't quite as he says it is.
(01:01:46):
And at this point,
(01:01:47):
Neil suggests that it might be easier if they split up and try to get home,
(01:01:51):
and Del takes it very hard,
(01:01:53):
but he does leave Neil alone.
(01:01:55):
And Neil goes off, and he gets off a bus to a rental car station, but...
(01:02:03):
The car that he has the key to is not in the spot that it should be.
(01:02:08):
The worst part about this is like this.
(01:02:11):
I didn't realize how far away.
(01:02:14):
Right.
(01:02:15):
He has to walk like down the highway.
(01:02:17):
He falls.
(01:02:18):
He goes off the bridge and he falls down the side.
(01:02:23):
No.
(01:02:24):
And so he by the time he actually gets to the car rental station,
(01:02:28):
he's like really dirty and really exhausted.
(01:02:32):
And then he meets the peppiest, happiest woman.
(01:02:37):
She was in other things.
(01:02:39):
What was she?
(01:02:39):
Oh, Ferris Bueller.
(01:02:41):
She's the secretary.
(01:02:44):
Yes.
(01:02:44):
Where he's like,
(01:02:45):
or she's like,
(01:02:46):
yes,
(01:02:47):
she's,
(01:02:47):
uh,
(01:02:48):
there's a line she says in Ferris Bueller where she's just like,
(01:02:51):
Oh,
(01:02:52):
she's like pretending to be the principal.
(01:02:54):
And she's like,
(01:02:57):
and she's doing all this stuff.
(01:03:00):
So apparently she ad-libbed some of that too.
(01:03:02):
That entire scene was improv.
(01:03:07):
By both of them?
(01:03:08):
By both of them.
(01:03:09):
Wow, that's awesome.
(01:03:10):
And how many F-words were uttered in this scene?
(01:03:12):
19 total.
(01:03:13):
18 by Steve Martin.
(01:03:14):
Do you want to hear the scene?
(01:03:15):
I want to hear it.
(01:03:16):
Welcome to Marathon, may I help you?
(01:03:27):
How may I help you?
(01:03:29):
You can start by wiping that fucking dumbass smile off your rosy fucking cheeks.
(01:03:36):
Then you can give me a fucking automobile,
(01:03:39):
a fucking Datsun,
(01:03:40):
a fucking Toyota,
(01:03:41):
a fucking Mustang,
(01:03:42):
a fucking Buick,
(01:03:42):
four fucking wheels and a seat.
(01:03:45):
I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me.
(01:03:48):
And I really don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of fucking
(01:03:52):
nowhere with fucking keys to a fucking car that isn't fucking there.
(01:03:57):
And I really didn't care to fucking walk down a fucking highway and across a
(01:04:01):
fucking runway to get back here to have you smile at my fucking face.
(01:04:07):
I want a fucking car right fucking now.
(01:04:17):
May I see your rental rental?
(01:04:20):
I love that.
(01:04:20):
Oh, boy.
(01:04:20):
Oh, boy.
(01:04:26):
Oh, boy, what?
(01:04:29):
You're fucked.
(01:04:31):
I love that.
(01:04:33):
I love that she played into it.
(01:04:34):
But this scene actually is what got the movie an R rating.
(01:04:38):
Really?
(01:04:39):
Wow.
(01:04:39):
We always go over some movies that couldn't be made today, that kind of thing.
(01:04:44):
That scene couldn't be done today.
(01:04:46):
Oh, yes, it could.
(01:04:47):
No.
(01:04:48):
Why not?
(01:04:48):
This is my reason.
(01:04:50):
Because if this is the scene that got an R rating.
(01:04:53):
Mm-hmm.
(01:04:54):
they would have eliminated it to get it back down to a PG-13 or PG rating.
(01:04:59):
No.
(01:05:00):
Yes, they would.
(01:05:01):
But they could have made it.
(01:05:02):
It's not going to get them canceled.
(01:05:04):
Yeah,
(01:05:04):
but how many times do they take a movie that would get an R rating and pull it back
(01:05:09):
down because they want to open up the number of people who can see it?
(01:05:14):
I don't know.
(01:05:15):
That's a classic scene.
(01:05:17):
That scene makes the movie.
(01:05:19):
Okay.
(01:05:20):
One of my favorite scenes in a movie.
(01:05:22):
I feel like
(01:05:25):
It's a great scene.
(01:05:26):
It's like that very relatable, like everyone has their breaking point.
(01:05:30):
He's been through it.
(01:05:32):
No, I agree.
(01:05:33):
I'm just saying.
(01:05:35):
All the F-bombs are one thing.
(01:05:37):
It's the way she responds.
(01:05:39):
And it's the way he says it.
(01:05:41):
It's almost like he has this weird calmness, but also it's like the F-word every five seconds.
(01:05:48):
And the visual, the people behind him are like...
(01:05:50):
You're just staring like, what's going on?
(01:05:52):
Just walk like four miles back to the car rental agency.
(01:05:57):
How can I help you?
(01:05:59):
With literally the rosiest cheeks in the world after she gets off the phone with
(01:06:04):
someone talking about Thanksgiving dinner.
(01:06:06):
Yeah,
(01:06:06):
and then she's on the phone for like 30 seconds or so and he's just looking and
(01:06:10):
she's like,
(01:06:11):
I don't know if I'll make it.
(01:06:13):
Yeah.
(01:06:17):
But after he gets done that conversation,
(01:06:19):
then he goes outside and he's talking to a taxi driver who's...
(01:06:23):
They're getting into a disagreement.
(01:06:25):
And the taxi driver just punches him right in the face.
(01:06:27):
And then he falls into the street, almost gets hit by a car.
(01:06:31):
And, of course, who is driving that car but Del Griffith?
(01:06:35):
And he runs over to him.
(01:06:36):
And he, of course, offers him a ride.
(01:06:39):
And... Wait.
(01:06:41):
He makes the... No.
(01:06:42):
First, he makes the guy pick him up.
(01:06:45):
He goes...
(01:06:47):
No, sir.
(01:06:47):
You do not treat somebody like that.
(01:06:49):
You will pick him up.
(01:06:50):
And he's like, no.
(01:06:52):
And he grabs him by the testicles.
(01:06:55):
And he's like, I got to tell you, I've never seen anybody get picked up by their testicles before.
(01:06:59):
And then the whole time in the car, his high-pitched voice.
(01:07:03):
Oh, that's great.
(01:07:13):
So while they're in the car,
(01:07:14):
first we see that Steve Martin is driving and John Candy's character,
(01:07:19):
Dell,
(01:07:19):
he's messing around with the passenger seat so much that by the time Neil switches,
(01:07:25):
he cannot use it because it's completely broken.
(01:07:28):
All you hear is... He's like, you're going to break the seat.
(01:07:33):
He goes, car seats don't get broken.
(01:07:37):
You see?
(01:07:38):
But it does.
(01:07:39):
It breaks.
(01:07:41):
So Steve Martin,
(01:07:42):
Neil,
(01:07:43):
he decides to go to sleep,
(01:07:45):
which I'm like,
(01:07:46):
dude,
(01:07:46):
have you not learned anything from this?
(01:07:50):
But during this time, Del is driving, and a song that he really enjoys comes off.
(01:07:57):
Oh, boy.
(01:07:57):
And he is swerving.
(01:07:59):
Oh, boy.
(01:08:00):
He's loving it.
(01:08:01):
What was the song?
(01:08:02):
Doing the Mess Around by Ray Charles.
(01:08:07):
He's like playing the steering wheel like it's a piano.
(01:08:10):
Oh.
(01:08:24):
Everybody's doing the mess around.
(01:08:39):
So one of the funny things about a fun fact about John Hughes is apparently he had
(01:08:47):
an extensive music collection.
(01:08:50):
Oh, really?
(01:08:51):
Yes.
(01:08:52):
And I don't remember who he did this for, but he would cut tapes and give it to his friends and stuff.
(01:08:58):
But he had a very, very extensive library for music.
(01:09:02):
That's awesome.
(01:09:03):
Yeah, it was like his passion.
(01:09:04):
Yeah, so he probably added that to his movies.
(01:09:09):
The funny part about the scene,
(01:09:10):
too,
(01:09:10):
is not only is he dancing and going crazy,
(01:09:13):
then his shirt is getting stuck in the seatbelt.
(01:09:18):
Have you ever had that happen to you, first of all?
(01:09:21):
No.
(01:09:21):
It sucks.
(01:09:22):
Not that I was dancing in a car and getting stuck.
(01:09:25):
But like you turn around or you move and it's like, God damn it.
(01:09:30):
Or the seatbelt locks.
(01:09:31):
And you were on an airplane and you couldn't get your shoes back on.
(01:09:34):
I don't know what to do here.
(01:09:42):
How am I going to rub my toes?
(01:09:45):
Excuse me.
(01:09:46):
Can you rub my toes?
(01:09:51):
Oh.
(01:09:52):
But so he's got like all kinds of stuff stuck.
(01:09:55):
I think at one point he has something stuck like on the, like the window.
(01:10:01):
What is it called?
(01:10:02):
The ones that like reeled up?
(01:10:04):
The window?
(01:10:05):
No, but like, you know how like instead of a button there used to be like, it was like... A handle?
(01:10:13):
Yeah.
(01:10:14):
Just a window.
(01:10:15):
Like that's how we used to rear the windows up.
(01:10:18):
Yeah, with a handle.
(01:10:19):
Yeah.
(01:10:21):
Oh, gosh.
(01:10:22):
She's like,
(01:10:23):
you know how when you used to get in a car and you had to push this thing down to
(01:10:29):
make the car door lock?
(01:10:30):
What was that thing called?
(01:10:31):
A lock?
(01:10:33):
I love it when, so sometimes the kids will say, so back in the 1900s.
(01:10:36):
I'm like, whoa, ew, whoa.
(01:10:40):
The 1900s.
(01:10:40):
And then you got to go back like 40 fucking years.
(01:10:43):
It's like, Jesus Christ.
(01:10:47):
Anyway.
(01:10:49):
You know, before you had the push button anything, they had a thing.
(01:10:53):
It was like a crank.
(01:10:55):
I feel like we need to pull out a rotary phone and see if she knows how to use it.
(01:11:01):
No shot.
(01:11:02):
Do you know how to use a rotary phone?
(01:11:06):
Yeah.
(01:11:06):
Have you ever used a rotary phone in your life?
(01:11:08):
Not like to actually call someone.
(01:11:12):
When did you use it?
(01:11:13):
Was it a play thing?
(01:11:14):
Yeah.
(01:11:16):
You never actually used a rotary phone in your life.
(01:11:19):
Oh, I wish we had one.
(01:11:21):
Do we have it?
(01:11:23):
Never.
(01:11:23):
Not like to call someone.
(01:11:25):
That's what it was, though.
(01:11:26):
It's a phone.
(01:11:27):
I mean, then you have it.
(01:11:29):
That's funny.
(01:11:30):
You're like, but I used it to hear it.
(01:11:36):
I love that sound.
(01:11:37):
I would just do it all day.
(01:11:40):
It's like a cat purring.
(01:11:45):
So... How do you use the phone?
(01:11:56):
I get the concept anyway.
(01:11:58):
What, how to dial a phone?
(01:12:00):
That concept you get?
(01:12:04):
You know, before you put it to mind...
(01:12:08):
You know, when you couldn't just go and you actually had to like crank it.
(01:12:13):
You had to turn this thing.
(01:12:16):
What would that thing be called?
(01:12:18):
You know, what would you call that thing?
(01:12:20):
A handle?
(01:12:23):
Yeah, that's it.
(01:12:23):
A handle.
(01:12:24):
We don't use those anymore.
(01:12:29):
Go for it.
(01:12:32):
Sympathy from the dog.
(01:12:36):
So he's also smoking at this time,
(01:12:38):
and he throws his cigarette out the window,
(01:12:40):
but we see it actually goes into the back seat.
(01:12:43):
Yeah.
(01:12:45):
So then he's still trying to release his jacket from...
(01:12:52):
From the handle.
(01:12:53):
From the handle.
(01:12:53):
And while this is all happening,
(01:12:56):
he's like trying to drive with his knees and he accidentally gets off on the wrong exit.
(01:13:02):
Can we talk about the camera shot there though?
(01:13:05):
They like shot his entire crotch.
(01:13:07):
Oh.
(01:13:07):
Yeah.
(01:13:08):
Very disturbing.
(01:13:09):
How'd you miss it?
(01:13:11):
I think I was focused on the knees.
(01:13:13):
You really focus on the crotch area a lot.
(01:13:18):
The underwear, the crotch.
(01:13:22):
Anybody here a good knee driver?
(01:13:24):
Never.
(01:13:25):
Yes.
(01:13:27):
Erica.
(01:13:29):
I have.
(01:13:30):
You don't eat when you drive ever?
(01:13:31):
Yeah, but I use one hand.
(01:13:33):
Yeah.
(01:13:34):
Oh, no.
(01:13:34):
Sometimes you have to knee drive.
(01:13:37):
Never.
(01:13:37):
No, like long road trip driving.
(01:13:42):
With your knees?
(01:13:44):
Well, not like the whole time.
(01:13:45):
You never knee drove?
(01:13:47):
This is why when I'm sleeping and she's driving, I wake up and it's like... So you're like Steve Martin.
(01:13:53):
This is why there's rumble strips on the side of every highway.
(01:13:57):
And I say, what are you doing?
(01:13:59):
You want to sweat?
(01:14:00):
No, I'm fine.
(01:14:00):
I'm fine.
(01:14:01):
I'm just driving.
(01:14:02):
Yeah, with your knees.
(01:14:04):
Jesus.
(01:14:05):
I mean, you've got to be able to drive with your knees.
(01:14:09):
I don't think that that's a thing.
(01:14:12):
No, it is a thing.
(01:14:14):
I don't make turns with my knees.
(01:14:16):
I'm not like... But if I'm trying to keep it straight on a highway, I'm pretty sure I can do that.
(01:14:25):
I can stay in the lane.
(01:14:28):
Give or take.
(01:14:30):
Give or take a little bit.
(01:14:31):
So now...
(01:14:35):
So he's gotten off the wrong exit,
(01:14:37):
and then Neil wakes up,
(01:14:39):
and they are crashing into something,
(01:14:44):
and he just tells them that they almost hit a deer.
(01:14:46):
Wait, wait, wait.
(01:14:48):
Is this before or after they're getting yelled at?
(01:14:51):
Oh, no, no.
(01:14:52):
That hasn't happened yet.
(01:14:53):
Okay, okay.
(01:14:55):
He's just crashing into anything, and he's just like, we almost hit a deer, and he's like, oh, wow.
(01:15:02):
He's just like...
(01:15:03):
Swerving all over the place like, oh, we almost hit a deer.
(01:15:08):
So then when they do get back on the highway, they're on the wrong side of the highway.
(01:15:12):
And there's a couple that's trying to get their attention.
(01:15:15):
You're going the wrong way.
(01:15:17):
But he thinks that they're trying to race him at first.
(01:15:19):
Yeah, he's like, Joker wants to race.
(01:15:21):
So let's play that one.
(01:15:22):
Do you want to hear a clip?
(01:15:23):
Okay.
(01:15:24):
Shut your window down!
(01:15:26):
You want something?
(01:15:28):
He's probably drunk.
(01:15:32):
Then he looks up
(01:15:58):
What?
(01:15:59):
What?
(01:15:59):
Where is it?
(01:16:05):
This is where they start flashing back to the skeletons.
(01:16:08):
Yeah.
(01:16:09):
Yeah.
(01:16:09):
They go right in between two Mack trucks.
(01:16:11):
Yeah.
(01:16:11):
They basically almost never survive this.
(01:16:14):
Yeah.
(01:16:15):
There was no shot in hell.
(01:16:16):
They were always surviving.
(01:16:18):
Yeah.
(01:16:20):
At least for another 45 minutes.
(01:16:22):
There's a little ways to go.
(01:16:25):
And their suitcases to get like launched.
(01:16:27):
So they go to the side of the road, start collecting their stuff.
(01:16:31):
And then the car sets on fire.
(01:16:33):
Yeah.
(01:16:35):
And they both just look at each other and start hysterically laughing.
(01:16:39):
Like, what else are you going to do at this point?
(01:16:41):
And then this is when it comes out that Dell actually rented the car using his credit card.
(01:16:47):
My favorite part, though, is that Steve Martin is laughing.
(01:16:51):
And he goes, why are you so happy?
(01:16:53):
He goes, because finally.
(01:16:56):
all this shame.
(01:16:57):
Finally, it happened to you.
(01:16:59):
And he's like, kind of stuck sticking it to him.
(01:17:02):
Like it happened to you because you rented the car.
(01:17:05):
And he goes, come to think of it.
(01:17:08):
How did you rent the car without a credit card?
(01:17:10):
He goes,
(01:17:11):
I knew the guy, and I gave him a couple of shower curtain rings.
(01:17:16):
He tries to play it off, and he's like, you don't rent a car with shower curtain rings, Dell.
(01:17:22):
And then he tells him it was his card.
(01:17:25):
I love it.
(01:17:28):
And this is when they, they try to get another motel room.
(01:17:33):
Um,
(01:17:33):
but as Neil tries to take out his credit cards,
(01:17:37):
they're all and they're all like really tiny and they're all charcoaled.
(01:17:45):
And he puts them out as if anything can be done with these.
(01:17:51):
He doesn't have enough cash, but he has $17, and then he gives the guy also his watch.
(01:17:55):
His watch, yes.
(01:17:57):
So Neil gets a room, but Del doesn't have anything, so he's going to sleep in his car.
(01:18:01):
And this is when he has a moment where... Well, he did try to give his Casio watch.
(01:18:06):
He did.
(01:18:07):
Crazily enough, he didn't take it.
(01:18:11):
It's a Casio.
(01:18:12):
It keeps great time.
(01:18:14):
But he is in the burnt car and he's going to sleep there.
(01:18:18):
And he kind of is like having a moment where he's like talking to his wife.
(01:18:22):
So we kind of get the feeling that maybe she's not around anymore.
(01:18:26):
And Neil does start feeling guilty.
(01:18:29):
He has an extra bed and he invites Del to come use it.
(01:18:31):
And then they enjoy an awesome night of like tequila.
(01:18:35):
Getting hammered.
(01:18:36):
Tequila and Doritos.
(01:18:39):
They get so drunk.
(01:18:42):
Yeah.
(01:18:44):
And they start talking about their legacy that they're going to leave behind and
(01:18:48):
they have a moment where they toast to their wives.
(01:18:50):
Very irresponsible of them.
(01:18:53):
What?
(01:18:54):
To drink that much.
(01:18:55):
Why?
(01:18:55):
They're in a hotel room.
(01:18:58):
Just saying.
(01:18:58):
Okay.
(01:18:59):
Okay.
(01:19:02):
So the next morning,
(01:19:05):
they are working to get the car out of the snow,
(01:19:08):
and Del backs it up right into the motel.
(01:19:12):
And they're like, we've got to get out of here.
(01:19:15):
At that point, it's like... At that point, you need to leave.
(01:19:18):
You need to leave.
(01:19:20):
But they do end up getting pulled over because they're speeding.
(01:19:25):
But they, they're, I mean, their excuse is that the speedometer is melted.
(01:19:30):
So they don't actually know how fast they're going.
(01:19:32):
And he's like, do you feel that this car is road worthy?
(01:19:35):
And he's like,
(01:19:36):
Oh, yes.
(01:19:37):
Oh, yes, sir.
(01:19:39):
She doesn't look like much, but I got to tell you, this is one good automobile.
(01:19:43):
My favorite is that he gives this whole speech about how he's trying to get Neil
(01:19:47):
home to his family for Thanksgiving,
(01:19:49):
like this moment where you think in the movies they're going to let him off,
(01:19:53):
and then they impound the car.
(01:19:55):
They impound the car.
(01:19:58):
But the State Trooper is actually played by Michael McKean,
(01:20:01):
who's best known for his role in Better Call Saul.
(01:20:08):
Who was he in Better Call Saul?
(01:20:10):
I'm not sure what his character's name is.
(01:20:14):
That's Saul's older brother.
(01:20:17):
Wow.
(01:20:19):
He aged.
(01:20:21):
Well, yeah.
(01:20:23):
He looks a lot different.
(01:20:28):
What nobody knows is it was actually played by the little kid from All in Golden Pond.
(01:20:35):
I knew he had another role somewhere.
(01:20:38):
Yes, he became Chuck McGill.
(01:20:41):
So Del does manage to arrange a ride for them in a refrigerator truck.
(01:20:47):
Um, and Del is sporting quite the black eye in this moment.
(01:20:50):
So this is one of those things where I was like looking at it and I was like, did I miss something?
(01:20:55):
But it was actually a cut scene that happened where if you listen in it,
(01:21:00):
he talks about,
(01:21:00):
he says that,
(01:21:02):
um,
(01:21:03):
the driver does not want to let anyone sit up front.
(01:21:06):
Right.
(01:21:06):
So they have to sit in the back.
(01:21:08):
So apparently there was a cut scene where he tried to sit up front and the driver punched him in the eye.
(01:21:15):
I didn't know that.
(01:21:16):
But for the rest of the film, he has a black eye.
(01:21:19):
I didn't even notice that.
(01:21:20):
And there's not that much left of the movie, but I'm like, what did I notice that?
(01:21:27):
I missed that totally.
(01:21:28):
I'll have to watch it again now.
(01:21:29):
Um,
(01:21:31):
Just fast forward it to that part, though.
(01:21:34):
Yeah, I will.
(01:21:35):
Yeah.
(01:21:37):
So they do finally get to the train station and they do have a sentimental moment
(01:21:42):
where they give each other a big hug.
(01:21:44):
And as Neil gets on the train,
(01:21:47):
he starts imagining Thanksgiving and what it's going to be like at home with his
(01:21:51):
family and all the things they're going to have.
(01:21:54):
Um,
(01:21:55):
and then he starts thinking about Dell and he starts like going back and thinking
(01:22:00):
about moments when Dell was talking about his wife and his job.
(01:22:03):
And he starts kind of like making some connections and he does go back to the train
(01:22:08):
station and he finds Dell sitting there and he is like,
(01:22:12):
Dell,
(01:22:12):
what are you doing here?
(01:22:15):
Dell, what are you doing here?
(01:22:20):
You said you were going home.
(01:22:21):
What are you doing here?
(01:22:25):
I, uh... I don't have a home.
(01:22:37):
Marie's been dead for eight years.
(01:22:41):
So this is when Neo invites him back to the house.
(01:22:45):
This is the good song.
(01:22:46):
You gotta let it go.
(01:22:47):
Okay.
(01:22:49):
Now they're going to, for some reason, they're going to the Home Alone house.
(01:22:52):
We don't know exactly.
(01:22:53):
We don't know why.
(01:22:55):
I'm waiting for the iron and the paint can to come down on them.
(01:22:59):
Maybe I'll just come in and say hi, and then I'll be on my way, all right?
(01:23:02):
Nah, don't worry about me.
(01:23:04):
This is a perfect song for this moment in the movie.
(01:23:12):
I was hoping you were going to sing it for us.
(01:23:15):
He won't sing it.
(01:23:16):
Oh, Katie's going to sing?
(01:23:17):
Mm-hmm.
(01:23:18):
Go for it.
(01:23:20):
I already got caught once.
(01:23:22):
Guys, I'm telling you there's tension between him and his wife.
(01:23:30):
Look.
(01:23:31):
Well, no shit.
(01:23:31):
He was gone forever.
(01:23:32):
She just wanted him to be home for Thanksgiving.
(01:23:35):
No, there's more to it.
(01:23:37):
Maybe it's because this is the only scene where they're actually filmed together,
(01:23:41):
so they don't actually know each other.
(01:23:44):
The chemistry's not there.
(01:23:46):
Pay equity's bad.
(01:23:47):
She's not getting paid the same amount for the movie.
(01:23:50):
She's upset with this.
(01:23:51):
There's tension.
(01:23:54):
He realizes now, though, this is where I want to be.
(01:23:58):
I'd like you to be a friend of mine.
(01:24:01):
Which, this part.
(01:24:03):
Did you cry?
(01:24:04):
No.
(01:24:04):
Hold on.
(01:24:08):
If you remember when they're having the argument, he says, what am I supposed to do?
(01:24:12):
Like introduce you?
(01:24:13):
Like this is Delgrip.
(01:24:15):
Like he like makes fun of him.
(01:24:16):
But now he's actually introducing him to his wife and go away.
(01:24:22):
Oh, there we go.
(01:24:23):
You take a piece of me with you.
(01:24:33):
So, I mean, we just assume he just lives with them now.
(01:24:39):
Full time?
(01:24:41):
Yeah.
(01:24:41):
Your bedroom's on the first floor.
(01:24:44):
It's like the movie The Blind Side.
(01:24:47):
Never saw it.
(01:24:48):
Never seen The Blind Side?
(01:24:50):
Oh wait, no, that's the football movie.
(01:24:52):
Yeah, but this is The Blind Side, but where Del has no talent.
(01:24:57):
Yeah.
(01:24:59):
Except a white guy with no talent.
(01:25:02):
He's like, sorry, I live with you now.
(01:25:07):
I'm never going to be rich and famous and able to actually support everybody here.
(01:25:13):
Well, no, in this sequel he becomes VP of sales.
(01:25:16):
Yeah, mm-hmm.
(01:25:18):
There is actually an alternate ending.
(01:25:20):
So in the original ending.
(01:25:21):
These are always great.
(01:25:23):
No, this isn't really.
(01:25:24):
Here's my alternate ending.
(01:25:25):
They just, remember the seven one where it was like, the alternate ending is they just go home.
(01:25:32):
They're just like, well, we'll never solve this murder.
(01:25:34):
Let's just go home.
(01:25:37):
Good night.
(01:25:38):
Come on.
(01:25:41):
Well,
(01:25:41):
here,
(01:25:42):
Del was actually supposed to follow Neil all the way home,
(01:25:46):
but Hughes decided that during the editing process that he really wanted Del's
(01:25:52):
character to start being more of like a noble person and getting kind of like the...
(01:25:57):
social aspect of keeping the distance.
(01:26:01):
And so finally he was able to take the hint from Neil's character and had Neil
(01:26:07):
actually be the one that came back to him and brought him home.
(01:26:10):
That's the way it should have been.
(01:26:12):
I agree.
(01:26:12):
But I felt sad.
(01:26:14):
I feel like in the movie, I felt as if he just felt unwanted.
(01:26:22):
Who?
(01:26:22):
Who?
(01:26:24):
Del?
(01:26:24):
Del, yeah.
(01:26:25):
He felt unwanted and just said, you know what?
(01:26:28):
I'm going back into my shell.
(01:26:29):
I have no wife.
(01:26:30):
I have no family.
(01:26:31):
I don't have a job.
(01:26:32):
I don't have a home.
(01:26:33):
Wait, I thought he had a job.
(01:26:34):
He had a job, but not anymore.
(01:26:36):
He hasn't been there.
(01:26:38):
They're going to get rid of him.
(01:26:40):
His life's over.
(01:26:41):
Really?
(01:26:42):
He didn't have a job in this movie?
(01:26:43):
It's been two days, Ryan.
(01:26:45):
That's it?
(01:26:46):
Two days?
(01:26:46):
Yeah.
(01:26:46):
It's been like two weeks.
(01:26:48):
At the very beginning, it was two days before Thanksgiving.
(01:26:50):
Hold on.
(01:26:52):
He had a job during this movie, though, right?
(01:26:55):
He really wasn't.
(01:26:56):
Yeah, I'm just saying he hasn't been there in a while.
(01:26:57):
They're just going to get rid of him anyway.
(01:26:59):
He's a traveling salesman.
(01:27:01):
He doesn't have like...
(01:27:03):
An office.
(01:27:03):
Right.
(01:27:04):
He just travels.
(01:27:06):
And now that they know he can sell them as earrings, I mean, he is going to get quite the race.
(01:27:13):
Maybe he can afford the Home Alone house a mile away from them.
(01:27:16):
I forgot it was only two days.
(01:27:17):
You're right.
(01:27:18):
Yeah.
(01:27:19):
This felt like weeks.
(01:27:20):
Oh, yeah.
(01:27:22):
I mean,
(01:27:22):
I feel like if I was in all of those scenarios,
(01:27:25):
I would be,
(01:27:25):
like,
(01:27:25):
losing my...
(01:27:26):
A lot happened in two days.
(01:27:28):
Yeah.
(01:27:28):
This is definitely, like, at least four or five days.
(01:27:30):
Yeah, probably.
(01:27:31):
Or four hours,
(01:27:32):
because,
(01:27:32):
you know,
(01:27:33):
that's how...
(01:27:36):
But there also was a post-credit scene where Neil's boss is still sitting there
(01:27:42):
analyzing the ads from the scene.
(01:27:45):
Oh, really?
(01:27:45):
But he's, like, eating his Thanksgiving dinner as he's still, like...
(01:27:50):
Did you watch the post-credits?
(01:27:52):
No, it actually didn't come out because I watched it on Paramount.
(01:27:55):
There wasn't any post-credits, but I read that in an article that they had that.
(01:27:59):
I have a couple of fun facts I want to bring up.
(01:28:02):
First of all, I'm going to go back to the beginning of the movie where they're in the cab in Kansas.
(01:28:08):
Do you remember that cab that's like really hoopedied up?
(01:28:10):
Yeah.
(01:28:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(01:28:14):
Do you recognize the cab truck?
(01:28:16):
What is he in?
(01:28:17):
I'm going to tell you what he's in.
(01:28:20):
He is in Seinfeld.
(01:28:21):
Yes!
(01:28:24):
He's the doppelganger of Kramer for when they actually produced the show Seinfeld.
(01:28:31):
Yes.
(01:28:32):
He is also in Friends.
(01:28:34):
As you said that, it just gave me that connection.
(01:28:38):
He's like this cranky old guy that lives above them too.
(01:28:41):
I don't know if you remember this scene where he steals the raisins as he's
(01:28:46):
performing for the part of Kramer.
(01:28:48):
He walks up and goes, can I have a raisin?
(01:28:50):
He takes a raisin and he walks off with the box and George confronts him about it later.
(01:28:57):
Fun fact.
(01:29:00):
John Hughes, he's often referred to as producing the Teen Trilogy.
(01:29:07):
The Teen Trilogy is 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Ferris Bueller.
(01:29:11):
That's what he's most known for.
(01:29:13):
He stopped directing in 1991, so he only directed from 84 to 91.
(01:29:21):
He quit directing not long after he directed Home Alone.
(01:29:25):
And his last movie, I guarantee nobody has seen this.
(01:29:29):
I saw it because I'm a nerd.
(01:29:31):
It was called Curly Sue.
(01:29:33):
Anybody know that one?
(01:29:36):
Yes.
(01:29:36):
Curly Sue.
(01:29:37):
That was in 1991.
(01:29:38):
It was a flop.
(01:29:39):
But he stopped after that.
(01:29:41):
And there's a lot of speculation as to why he quit.
(01:29:45):
Now, John Candy dies.
(01:29:47):
I don't know the exact year, but it's in this time.
(01:29:51):
I think it was 94.
(01:29:55):
Okay, but the Candy family and the Hughes family were really close.
(01:30:01):
They had a lot in common.
(01:30:02):
94, yep.
(01:30:04):
Okay, they lived close together.
(01:30:05):
And when John Candy died,
(01:30:07):
they said that that was a big moment for John Hughes that he felt like he was
(01:30:15):
worked to death.
(01:30:17):
They feel like that was part of the reason why he didn't want to work anymore.
(01:30:20):
Yeah.
(01:30:21):
Another part was he didn't like being in California.
(01:30:23):
He moved out to California because Hollywood made him move to California to edit
(01:30:31):
the Breakfast Club there.
(01:30:33):
And what he thought would be a short stay turned into four and a half years.
(01:30:36):
And he hated it.
(01:30:38):
And he wanted to raise his kids in Illinois, so he just moved back to Illinois.
(01:30:42):
I mean, that's...
(01:30:43):
That seems to be a theme in a lot of his movies take place in the Chicago area.
(01:30:49):
Exactly.
(01:30:49):
I love that.
(01:30:50):
That's cool, though.
(01:30:52):
And at some point, he just decided to shun Hollywood.
(01:30:55):
Now, he was a writer still after he stopped directing.
(01:30:59):
He wrote under some...
(01:31:01):
Pen name.
(01:31:02):
I don't remember the name of the pen name,
(01:31:04):
but it was,
(01:31:04):
uh,
(01:31:05):
it's in the,
(01:31:06):
the book,
(01:31:07):
the Count of Monte Cristo.
(01:31:08):
And he took that exact name and would be a pen and would write, uh, write, write under that name.
(01:31:16):
Um,
(01:31:17):
Can I say one little thing about the Illinois?
(01:31:19):
So I read that John Hughes,
(01:31:22):
kind of in a lot of his movies,
(01:31:23):
it felt like he created his own little universe where some of the characters that
(01:31:29):
were in different movies actually existed in similar towns.
(01:31:34):
So he called it the Shermerverse.
(01:31:37):
And so there was a town that was called Shermer,
(01:31:43):
Illinois,
(01:31:44):
that Del Griffith actually says he's from in planes,
(01:31:48):
trains and automobiles.
(01:31:49):
And in his mind, he like lived two doors down from John Bender.
(01:31:55):
from The Breakfast Club, and Ferris Bueller, and also Samantha Baker from 16 Candles.
(01:32:04):
So these all were taking place in this fictitious suburban town of Chicago that he had created.
(01:32:13):
Which is actually his hometown is Northbrook, Illinois.
(01:32:16):
So there's a lot of locations that were kind of like around the area that he actually grew up in.
(01:32:23):
When they filmed this,
(01:32:25):
the actors were miserable because they had so many outdoor scenes and they needed
(01:32:31):
more snow and more freezing weather to really replicate how bad this was.
(01:32:36):
So the temperature could be one.
(01:32:38):
Yeah, exactly.
(01:32:40):
So they put these,
(01:32:41):
they kept,
(01:32:42):
I don't know exactly where they went,
(01:32:44):
but I know it was between Illinois and like.
(01:32:46):
They went through, it was, it was Illinois, Chicago, or Chicago, New York.
(01:32:52):
So they went from Illinois to Chicago.
(01:32:56):
That's a far trip.
(01:32:57):
I don't know if you guys are familiar with that, but that's.
(01:32:59):
Yeah.
(01:33:00):
Yeah.
(01:33:00):
It was like New York.
(01:33:01):
There was a couple.
(01:33:02):
New York.
(01:33:03):
You're right.
(01:33:03):
Yep.
(01:33:05):
And it was Edmond Dantes, his pen name.
(01:33:09):
Okay.
(01:33:11):
I guess that's a character from the Count of Monte Cristo.
(01:33:14):
That was the inspiration behind it, yes.
(01:33:17):
So do you guys think you're more of a Neil or a Dale?
(01:33:22):
Dale.
(01:33:24):
Del.
(01:33:24):
Yeah, Del.
(01:33:25):
Okay, I'm a Neil.
(01:33:28):
Well, so let me... Maybe in the middle.
(01:33:30):
Not all the way, Del.
(01:33:31):
Yeah,
(01:33:32):
no,
(01:33:32):
I don't think I'm all the way either,
(01:33:34):
but...
(01:33:34):
I think if I were watching movie after movie after movie,
(01:33:38):
it would be Neil.
(01:33:40):
Because I like Steve Martin.
(01:33:42):
Mm-hmm.
(01:33:43):
But in this movie, I think John Candy just played a great counterpart to him.
(01:33:49):
No, but do you think your personality is more... Oh, personality.
(01:33:54):
I'm more Neil, I think.
(01:33:55):
Okay, me too.
(01:33:56):
Yeah, I'm a Neil for sure.
(01:33:57):
So now we have two Niels and two Dells.
(01:34:00):
Unless Erica decides to also flip.
(01:34:04):
The plane scene and the scene where they're in bed together, I was just like,
(01:34:11):
He needs to be stopped.
(01:34:13):
Like, this is madness right now.
(01:34:15):
I can totally see you as Del.
(01:34:16):
Okay, the clearing of the sinuses.
(01:34:18):
Oh, stop.
(01:34:18):
Okay, I'm not that.
(01:34:20):
No, you are.
(01:34:21):
You totally are.
(01:34:22):
I can see you as that.
(01:34:23):
I can see you as Del in the bed putting a hand between the pillows.
(01:34:28):
Like, nibbling on someone's ear.
(01:34:31):
Not in a bad way, just because you're a jokester.
(01:34:33):
Wait, because I'm a jokester?
(01:34:35):
He wasn't joking.
(01:34:36):
He was...
(01:34:37):
He thought he was with his wife.
(01:34:39):
He was having a dream.
(01:34:40):
He was ready to... Just remind me, traveling, I get a separate bed.
(01:34:47):
You do.
(01:34:49):
I'm not the serial killer here.
(01:34:52):
I won't hurt you, John.
(01:34:53):
I think I've realized about myself,
(01:34:56):
I love to travel,
(01:34:58):
but I don't enjoy the actual traveling part as much.
(01:35:02):
No, traveling sucks.
(01:35:02):
And if any of that stuff happened...
(01:35:05):
I just am not in a good mood.
(01:35:07):
It just annoys me.
(01:35:10):
No.
(01:35:10):
That movie's my worst nightmare.
(01:35:12):
Traveling's overrated.
(01:35:15):
No, I like traveling.
(01:35:16):
I want to be able to get there without any problems.
(01:35:21):
No, I was expressing my opinion.
(01:35:23):
Oh, okay.
(01:35:24):
I'm sorry.
(01:35:25):
Not your opinion.
(01:35:28):
Well, excuse me.
(01:35:30):
So this movie didn't win many awards either.
(01:35:33):
Well, it's not an award-winning movie.
(01:35:35):
No, it's not.
(01:35:35):
John Hughes' movies didn't win awards.
(01:35:38):
They just spoke to the teenagers.
(01:35:39):
Well, not this one, but his whole thing was he spoke to teenagers.
(01:35:45):
That's his problem.
(01:35:48):
But they're also, they're all, like, very long-living, like, classic movies, too.
(01:35:54):
I mean, they're all amazing.
(01:35:57):
What he was doing was just genius.
(01:36:02):
There's actually a documentary that was made in 2008, and it's called Don't You Forget About Me.
(01:36:09):
I watched this.
(01:36:11):
Yeah, I think it's based on that.
(01:36:12):
Forget about me.
(01:36:15):
It's based on that.
(01:36:18):
No, keep going.
(01:36:19):
Should we play it?
(01:36:20):
I feel like we should play it.
(01:36:21):
We should probably play it now and sing it.
(01:36:25):
It's a concert song, baby.
(01:36:26):
All right.
(01:36:28):
We might as well now.
(01:36:29):
I introduced it.
(01:36:30):
I brought this on myself, so I have no one else to blame.
(01:36:37):
Oh, go on.
(01:36:38):
This is freaking great.
(01:36:39):
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
(01:36:41):
How do you not like this movie?
(01:36:46):
Damn.
(01:36:47):
What movie is this from?
(01:36:48):
Breakfast Club.
(01:36:50):
I like the movie.
(01:36:51):
I like the song.
(01:36:52):
Oh, man.
(01:36:58):
Now we just confuse the shit out of the audience.
(01:37:01):
I don't care.
(01:37:04):
You want to play the whole song?
(01:37:06):
Whole song?
(01:37:06):
We're just going to sit here while you play the song.
(01:37:10):
And Katie lip-sings.
(01:37:18):
So are we going to watch The Breakfast Club now?
(01:37:19):
Is that what we're doing?
(01:37:20):
We should.
(01:37:21):
Eventually.
(01:37:21):
We should.
(01:37:22):
It's a good one.
(01:37:23):
All right.
(01:37:23):
So anyway, there's a documentary.
(01:37:27):
This is not one I recommend, by the way.
(01:37:29):
It's me.
(01:37:31):
But it was made in 2008,
(01:37:32):
and it's called Don't You Forget About Me,
(01:37:34):
where these,
(01:37:35):
I don't know,
(01:37:36):
four aspiring filmmakers or whatever seek out to interview John Hughes because...
(01:37:42):
John Hughes' legacy is that he dropped out of Hollywood and kind of became a little reclusive,
(01:37:47):
and you couldn't find him,
(01:37:48):
and he didn't want to be found.
(01:37:50):
He just wanted to live a private life, probably with just his family, you know, like a normal person.
(01:37:56):
So they go out to, they find him, and then they end up stalking his house.
(01:38:00):
It's crazy.
(01:38:01):
really weird um and they're like filming his window and eventually the curtains
(01:38:06):
open they're like that's him that that was like the climax of the movie well that
(01:38:12):
sounds like we need to go watch it no i am not i am not i mean the stalking part
(01:38:17):
all that was great i am not recommending it there he is but what's interesting
(01:38:22):
though is the movie was serial killer
(01:38:25):
The documentary was made in 2008 and nobody would pick it up until John Hughes dies in 2009.
(01:38:36):
And then all of a sudden there was a bidding war for this documentary.
(01:38:39):
So in a way it's like they got lucky that he died and they capitalized on his death.
(01:38:47):
It's kind of messed up though.
(01:38:50):
Granted, nobody's seen this movie except for me.
(01:38:55):
And I gotta tell you, when I say nobody, I looked it up to see if it was rated, and there's nothing.
(01:39:01):
It's as if this stupid thing was never made, and that's the way it should be.
(01:39:05):
I think John actually had a dream about this.
(01:39:09):
It doesn't exist.
(01:39:09):
He had his headphones on, and that song came on, and he just created this whole thing.
(01:39:16):
It'd be nice to stalk him.
(01:39:19):
I really like John Hughes.
(01:39:21):
I wonder where he's at.
(01:39:22):
Well, I know where he is now.
(01:39:25):
Kind of easy to find out.
(01:39:27):
Can we go one episode without?
(01:39:31):
Good luck getting an interview, but I mean... I'm pretty persuasive.
(01:39:36):
At the very least, I can be like, hey, buddy.
(01:39:39):
How you doing?
(01:39:40):
Oh, not great.
(01:39:47):
So,
(01:39:48):
I wonder,
(01:39:48):
what do you guys think a modern version of planes,
(01:39:51):
trains,
(01:39:51):
and automobiles would look like?
(01:39:53):
Oh, that's a good question.
(01:39:55):
So, who would play John Candy?
(01:40:00):
Well, not necessarily the actors, just like what would, like travel has changed so much, you know.
(01:40:05):
Yeah, they've probably been in Uber.
(01:40:08):
Tesla.
(01:40:10):
They've been in Uber for the car.
(01:40:14):
and it would be the wrong Uber because they didn't check the license plate.
(01:40:18):
Oh, that's a good one.
(01:40:19):
Did I tell you that story that happened to me?
(01:40:22):
No, that happened to you.
(01:40:25):
Happened to you?
(01:40:25):
Yeah, I think I told you the story.
(01:40:27):
You need to check the license plate.
(01:40:29):
We went to a wedding a couple months ago, and it was me and my husband and my sister and her husband.
(01:40:36):
Was it walking in the heels or something?
(01:40:37):
And we got into the wrong one.
(01:40:40):
They dropped us off.
(01:40:41):
And then for some reason, my family thought it would be a good idea to walk.
(01:40:46):
And I walked a mile in heels.
(01:40:48):
You could have taken them off.
(01:40:50):
You could have.
(01:40:51):
I'm not walking barefoot.
(01:40:54):
Better than walking in heels?
(01:40:55):
No.
(01:40:55):
What if she steps on a needle?
(01:40:56):
Exactly.
(01:40:57):
What if I step on something?
(01:40:58):
A needle?
(01:40:59):
What are you, walking like...
(01:41:02):
I have to bite my tongue or you might step on a needle.
(01:41:14):
It's better to have your shoes on.
(01:41:16):
Better to have your shoes on.
(01:41:18):
I did actually come very prepared with flip-flops,
(01:41:20):
but at some point I gave them to my sister,
(01:41:22):
so she had the flip-flops and I had the heels.
(01:41:26):
It's like, give me those flip-flops back.
(01:41:27):
I know.
(01:41:29):
It was nice.
(01:41:29):
I let her have them.
(01:41:31):
Those are the kinds of words that you could impart to the youth someday.
(01:41:37):
It's better to have shoes on.
(01:41:43):
Keep your shoes on.
(01:41:45):
Keep your shoes on, kids.
(01:41:47):
Dare to wear shoes.
(01:41:49):
Even if you have to walk a mile in high heels, keep your shoes on.
(01:41:53):
I do,
(01:41:54):
like,
(01:41:54):
seriously,
(01:41:54):
like,
(01:41:55):
I don't,
(01:41:56):
like,
(01:41:56):
I know a lot of people,
(01:41:57):
like,
(01:41:57):
at weddings and,
(01:41:58):
like,
(01:41:58):
dances will just go barefoot.
(01:41:59):
I think that's gross.
(01:42:01):
I always bring flip-flops, like, to change into.
(01:42:03):
Or socks.
(01:42:04):
What about socks?
(01:42:06):
It's still barefoot.
(01:42:07):
No, it's not.
(01:42:08):
It's not the same.
(01:42:09):
It's better.
(01:42:10):
I think it's better than being barefoot, but, like, there's not a lot of protection there.
(01:42:14):
People who dance barefoot?
(01:42:16):
Oh, dance?
(01:42:17):
Yeah, at a wedding?
(01:42:17):
She's walking.
(01:42:18):
No, at a wedding, people will take their shoes off and they're barefoot?
(01:42:22):
Yeah.
(01:42:22):
Yeah.
(01:42:22):
Throw socks on.
(01:42:23):
Do something.
(01:42:25):
Then you slip.
(01:42:25):
You bring your flip flops.
(01:42:26):
Yeah, that's fine.
(01:42:28):
At our wedding, we had a basket of flip flops for people.
(01:42:31):
Like we got bought like a bunch of old Navy flip flops.
(01:42:34):
I remember.
(01:42:34):
Yeah.
(01:42:35):
Right.
(01:42:36):
And above the basket, it said, keep your shoes on.
(01:42:41):
So let's go through... I like this question.
(01:42:43):
Let's go through this question.
(01:42:44):
So planes.
(01:42:46):
One do planes, one do trains.
(01:42:48):
The other do is automobile.
(01:42:49):
I do automobile because I already said Uber.
(01:42:52):
Wait, why are you going to do... We're not in the future.
(01:42:54):
We still have planes and trains.
(01:42:57):
What would it be like if you traveled on the planes, trains, and automobile?
(01:43:02):
Modern.
(01:43:02):
I don't think... Maybe I'm completely wrong in this opinion, but...
(01:43:07):
That part I don't think is that different.
(01:43:08):
I believe that you could still get stuck the way they got stuck.
(01:43:12):
Right.
(01:43:13):
There's nothing that they could have done in the future today that they couldn't do then.
(01:43:20):
Maybe with the car, they could have gotten an Uber or something a little bit easier.
(01:43:26):
Not from St.
(01:43:27):
Louis to freaking Illinois.
(01:43:29):
I think maybe just having a cell phone in general probably would have made things a little bit easier.
(01:43:33):
Yeah.
(01:43:34):
Yeah, it meant he would have had to talk to his wife more.
(01:43:36):
That might have been good.
(01:43:37):
Jesus, John.
(01:43:39):
Right.
(01:43:39):
I'm just saying.
(01:43:41):
I think they would have had access to getting a car a little bit easier.
(01:43:45):
She just seemed really angry with him.
(01:43:47):
I really saw nothing in their relationship that was...
(01:43:50):
I'm going to rewatch it because I got to tell you,
(01:43:53):
I felt tension.
(01:43:54):
Well, I think there's tension.
(01:43:56):
I think he travels a lot and it's Thanksgiving.
(01:43:59):
She wants him to be home.
(01:44:01):
Understandably so.
(01:44:01):
I don't think that's anything more than that.
(01:44:03):
Okay.
(01:44:06):
if we went into the future, the most you have is cell phones.
(01:44:11):
Yeah.
(01:44:12):
Yeah, I think transportation for the most part, like Ryan said, it might be a little bit easier.
(01:44:18):
Could have happened.
(01:44:19):
I think the planes would have been the same.
(01:44:21):
Yes.
(01:44:22):
The trains, we have a hell of a lot more crashes on trains now.
(01:44:26):
So catastrophe.
(01:44:27):
Right.
(01:44:28):
Off track.
(01:44:29):
The Uber would have been a freak because you got in the wrong car and he's taking
(01:44:33):
you somewhere you shouldn't go.
(01:44:34):
And then it turned into seven.
(01:44:36):
And it turned into seven.
(01:44:37):
And he ended up playing Kramer.
(01:44:39):
Look, the alternate ending is they never make it home.
(01:44:45):
Jesus, Ryan.
(01:44:46):
So we're going backwards here?
(01:44:49):
Yeah, the automobile is the Uber driver and he takes him on his own little journey.
(01:44:55):
And brings him a box at the end.
(01:45:02):
I will say... Riveting TV.
(01:45:05):
I would hope that they never remake this movie because it doesn't need to be... They can't.
(01:45:08):
They're dead.
(01:45:10):
John Candy's dead.
(01:45:11):
No, I know that.
(01:45:12):
I'm saying I hope they never, like, modernize it because this movie's a great... I know.
(01:45:17):
There are certain movies that it's like, just let them be.
(01:45:19):
Just let it be.
(01:45:20):
It's a great movie.
(01:45:21):
I agree.
(01:45:23):
John Candy just proves that he's an amazing actor in this one.
