#144 - "Clue" (1985) with Gerry D, Chris McMichen & Laramy Wells

1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,240
The board game Clue has a
fascinating history dating back

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,600
to the 1940s when it was called
Cluto Overseas and was later

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,680
brought to the United States by
Parker Brothers.

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,560
Today Hasbro owns Clue.
They actually acquired it in the

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,200
1980s and over the years the
game has inspired many fun and

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,160
creative spin offs.
These include a short lived TV

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,360
show, various themed versions
like the All Simpsons Edition,

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,920
and a memorable VCR version from
the video cassette era alongside

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,400
classics like Monopoly, Cranium,
The Game of Life, Sorry, and

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,760
Mousetrap, as well as beloved
junior games such as Candyland

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,800
and Chutes and Ladders.
Clue has truly stood the test of

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,000
time through many generations.
It was only a matter of time

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,120
before someone thought of
turning Clue into a movie.

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,760
Was it a big hit?
Not really.

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,240
Was it a lot of fun?
Absolutely.

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,160
So grab your favorite weapon,
meet us at the Hill House, and

17
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:55,120
watch your back when the lights
go out as Jerry D, Chris

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,320
Mcmuchin, Laramie Wells and I

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,520

1st to unlock the secrets of the

26
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,800
study is a man whose film
analysis is sharper than the

27
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,440
dagger in the library.
And unlike Mr. Body, his

28
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,400
arguments are always alive and
well.

00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:20,200
what we call, I'm just kidding.
I pressure of speech.

00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,200

party.
He's not being blackmailed.

secret passage.
He's here to help us figure out

44
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,640
which of the film's endings is
the best, and his insights

45
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:56,840
always hit their target.
No warning shot required from

46
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,080
Moving Panels podcast.

47
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,240
Wills.
How you doing Laramie?

48
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,880
And do it.
I think we all said that right.

49
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,680
So glad to have you guys on this
episode.

50
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,120
We're kicking off our new
season.

51
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,080
Just came off of our summer of
sequels series and excited to

52
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,760
talk about clue, which when I
sent out a list of all the

53
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,960
movies that I had not covered
yet, this was by far the one

54
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,000
that filled up the quickest.
So everybody wanted to

55
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,440
everybody, but it had a lot of
love.

56
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,640
You want to be a part of this
one and glad to have you 3 here

57
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:31,440
on this episode.
For an ensemble comedy, why not

58
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,120
have an ensemble Co host as
well?

59
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,000
Or ensemble of Co host.
That's that's the proper way to

60
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,800
say it.
But before we talk about the

61
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,040
movie, I want to talk about
Clue, the board game.

62
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,360
So I want to know what are your
memories of the board game?

63
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,320
Did you know about the game
before you saw the movie or did

64
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,840
you see the movie and then
realized there was a board game?

65
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,160
So we'll start with you, Jerry.
Yeah, so sometime in the mid

66
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:59,280
80s, my mom bought a complete
Clue board game at a garage sale

67
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,480
and my brothers and I were super
into it.

68
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,840
We played it all the time.
We created our own characters,

69
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,960
weapons and rooms.
And we even wrote to Milton

70
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,800
Bradley and they wrote back.
We still have the note to my

71
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,600
parents house, but it's they
explained, of course they're not

72
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,040
going to take suggestions from
kids, but they explained that,

73
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:18,959
you know, we didn't, we didn't
work for them.

74
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,880
So they technically couldn't use
their ideas, but they loved our

75
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,880
enthusiasm.
So we love this.

76
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,120
Game.
Did annoying the game make you

77
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,160
want to see the movie even more?
Was that what got you excited

78
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,720
about the movie?
Yes.

79
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,840
So we love the game so much.
And then we always wanted there

80
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:36,480
to be a movie.
And then in 1990, I was, I

81
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,360
remember being in class and my
friend Craig Land, I was making

82
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,080
a joke about something and he
said I didn't do it like you

83
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,120
like you guys were saying.
And he's like, yeah, like from

84
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,520
Clue the movie.
I was like, what?

85
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,160
What are you talking about?
Like, I have to see this now.

86
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,160
So that weekend we rented it.
We went to Movie Land Video.

87
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,120
I made my parents rent it.
And it's been one of my

88
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,840
favorites ever since.
Oh, very cool.

89
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,800
Hey, Chris, what about you?
Yeah, So played the game a good

90
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,160
bit.
My family was big time into

91
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,040
family game nights of all sorts.
And we played, we played lots of

92
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,400
things, you know, the Game of
life.

93
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,520
We played a bunch of those old
board games and Clue was

94
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,200
definitely at the top of the
list for us.

95
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,680
And, you know, it's one of those
games where regardless of your

96
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,120
age, adults, kids, everybody
could get into it, Everybody

97
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,560
could play.
You know, the mystery behind it

98
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,600
really made it accessible to
everybody body and and we really

99
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,720
enjoyed it.
And so I definitely knew about

100
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,080
the game prior to the movie for
sure.

101
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,760
OK, cool.
What about you, Laramie?

102
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,480
The same.
This was one of my favorite

103
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,640
board games.
When I was a kid, yeah.

104
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,080
And so, yeah, played it a lot.
We still play it.

105
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,800
It's one of one of my daughter's
now.

106
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,400
Favorite.
Board games and we've got a

107
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,640
couple of different versions you
mentioned, like The Simpsons

108
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,360
version.
Yeah, we've got a, we've got a

109
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,520
Doctor Who version.
And.

110
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,160
A nice Harry Potter version.
Nice.

111
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,600
OK, cool.
As well as the the classic.

112
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,040
We got yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah.

113
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,640
But yeah, no.
And then then it was the same

114
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,320
thing.
Like I found out it was a movie

115
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,120
and again, one of my favorite
board games.

116
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,560
I was so interested.
I I don't have the memory Jerry

117
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:19,240
does to know exact date and time
and place that I was when I

118
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,600
discovered the movie existed,
right.

119
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,680
But no, when I I discovered the
movie existed, I was very happy

120
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,800
to watch it.
And that was before I knew,

121
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,440
like, who Madeline Kahn and
Martin Mole and who really any

122
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,000
of them were.
Yeah, Oh.

123
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,480
Yeah, didn't realize I was also
watching Comedic Geniuses at

124
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,760
work, but yeah, no.
Love the board game.

125
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,840
Still love the board game, one
of my favorites.

126
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,000
Yeah, yeah, we had the board
game as well.

127
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,840
I don't remember playing it as
much.

128
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:53,000
I remember like playing with the
pieces as a kid.

129
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,880
Like I don't remember playing it
as a game and maybe I was too

130
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,080
young to understand like how to
play, but it was something my

131
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,400
sister, my sister was a big
mystery person.

132
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,400
Like she loves scooby-doo and
what my older sister, she loved

133
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,600
watching scooby-doo and reading
the she was a big Hardy boys and

134
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,720
Nancy Drew.
She read all those books.

135
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,080
So she was very big into like
the mystery stuff and I so I

136
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,320
don't ever remember.
Encyclopedia Brown for me.

137
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,360
There you go.
Yeah, yeah.

138
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,320
Hardy Boys Encyclopedia Brown or
what?

139
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,480
Yeah, yeah.
So like, I don't have any memory

140
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,520
of actually playing the game,
but I remember the box.

141
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,560
I remember opening the box and
all the little pieces and like

142
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,480
reading the instructions and
trying to figure out like how to

143
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,440
play the game or whatever.
And so, so leading in like

144
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,040
Jerry, I'll lead into how I saw
it.

145
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,120
So I didn't see this from the
theaters.

146
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,120
I saw this on HBO, but I
honestly, it was not one that I

147
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,800
watched a lot and I don't I
remember seeing it, but it's not

148
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,160
one that I remember like
watching a whole lot.

149
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,720
But I do remember the multiple
endings at the end.

150
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,360
So but I was, but my sister went
to see it at the theater because

151
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,360
she was such a big fan of the
game.

152
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,720
And I remember like after she
saw it, she wanted to go back

153
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,480
and see it again and trying to
convince my dad that there were

154
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,240
other endings and he didn't
believe her.

155
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,000
He just thought she wanted to.
He's like, I'm not giving you

156
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,440
money to go see a movie you've
seen already.

157
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,840
And I remember her taking the
newspaper and showing like it

158
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,480
shows ending AB or C.
And I want to go like I think I

159
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,520
saw the B1.
I want to see the SO.

160
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,960
But I I don't know if he
actually let her go back and see

161
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,720
it or not.
But I do remember watching it on

162
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,800
on HBO.
Now, did you have to go to a

163
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,280
different theater for a
different ending, or could you

164
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,320
just repeat the same?
I think so, yeah.

165
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,800
I don't think they had the same
one at the same theater.

166
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,159
Like they had different endings
at the same theater, yeah.

167
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,159
Yes, correct.
Yeah, I think each theater was

168
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:39,120
just sent whatever ending.
Random.

169
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,039
They decided to get.
Yeah, so.

170
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:44,240
But Chris, what about you?
When did you see it for the

171
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,120
first time?
First of all, Can you imagine if

172
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,360
you saw it once and then you
went to a different theater to

173
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,320
see a different ending and they
had the same one and you sat for

174
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,800
the entire?
Movie.

175
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,400
Yeah, well, she's like buying a
blind bag toy like.

176
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,280
I know they're trying to get
that different one to.

177
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,280
Keep getting the same one.
Yeah, but I think they printed

178
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,720
like which theaters had which
endings.

179
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,320
I think there was a there was a
way to find out if I recall.

180
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,960
Yeah, like I said, some.
Yeah, I know our local newspaper

181
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,560
told you like which ending, but
like I said, if you went and saw

182
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:19,280
the first weekend and you didn't
know which ending you saw, how

183
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,440
would you know which one you
were going?

184
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,160
Well, yeah.
Does it say like ending B here

185
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,880
you know?
Yeah, I don't know.

186
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,880
Yeah.
We definitely saw it in the

187
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:27,920
theater.
Yes.

188
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:33,600
It was a lot of fun, and I just
remember the idea that this is

189
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,520
the game that's come to life.
I mean, it really, These are the

190
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,480
characters I've been playing.
These are the same weapons we've

191
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,800
been dealing with.
Although, you know, it wasn't

192
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,840
quite the same little toothpick
knife that I tried to poke my

193
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,520
sister with all the time.
Of course, totally.

194
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,960
Like a real knife and such, but
but it it played well and I I

195
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,360
just thought it was a blessed.
So I did only see see it once

196
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,320
though, So I only saw one ending
until later on when it came out

197
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,160
on video.
And of course, then they showed

198
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,840
them back-to-back to back.
This was, you know, this was a

199
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,240
blockbuster deal for me to see
them go back and see all the

200
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,920
other endings.
It was a cool idea.

201
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,600
Great, Mark.
Which one did you get though?

202
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,120
I got the one with Miss
Scarlett.

203
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:20,320
I don't know what OK AB or C I'm
not sure which ones that's.

204
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,080
Ending a Yeah.
If you go, yeah.

205
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,800
If you go in the order they're
released to BA, yeah.

206
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,120
Yeah, now, now that brings up a
question because like I want to,

207
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,520
I didn't see this in the in the
research, but did like the

208
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,960
opening weekend, everybody saw A
and then they released the other

209
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,720
endings like weeks later.
I wish I would, I don't think.

210
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,640
So no, I think OK.
I think it was all.

211
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,680
Yeah, it was all OK all at the
same time.

212
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:45,200
OK, Yeah, that might have been
smarter.

213
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,480
Like everybody sees A and then
like re release it a month later

214
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,040
with now see, you know which
other ending you'd like to see

215
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,360
when you go ahead.
And Naomi, I'm taking up your

216
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,560
time.
No, no, no, I just think that

217
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,800
that the the multiple ending
thing, as much as it's talked

218
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,880
about, I know I I saw like
Siskel and Ebert's review and

219
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,320
that one of the reasons they
bashed it like that is though

220
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,880
the game.
That's the catch, right?

221
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,760
Yeah, exactly.
And the fact that the

222
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,840
explanations like do make sense,
I do think the Miss Peacock

223
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,560
one's a little weak.
Yeah, it's the shakiest for

224
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:20,560
sure.
Yeah, yeah.

225
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:23,440
But that the endings actually do
make sense.

226
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,480
But that.
Yeah.

227
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,000
And, and putting them all
together even still works is,

228
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,200
you know, it could happen this
way or it could have happened

229
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,320
this way.
Yeah.

230
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,920
That was the game.
It didn't.

231
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,960
It was always different every
time you played.

232
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,000
The one that I'm super curious
about is Ending D.

233
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,720
That's the one that I wish there
were footage.

234
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,720
That is missing.
Yeah, you can find pictures, but

235
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,800
apparently it makes the most
sense.

236
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,920
But it was also the darkest of
the.

237
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,600
You know, so they were.
Afraid to be.

238
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,480
Too.
Too much of A downer.

239
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,200
All right, so how long has it
been since you watched it before

240
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,720
you watching it for tonight's
podcast?

241
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,640
Jeremy, I'll start with you and
go the other way.

242
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,520
It's been a minute.
I can't put my finger exactly on

243
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,080
how long ago it's been.
And again, that just comes with

244
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,560
the fact that I've got, you
know, small children.

245
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:16,800
And it's, even though it's not a
a really bad movie for small

246
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,160
children, it's one of those you,
you you'd want them to be able

247
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,920
to watch it when they would
understand what's going on at

248
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:26,960
least.
So.

249
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,840
So yeah, I don't think, I think
it's probably been a good decade

250
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,680
probably, I hate to say because
I do really enjoy this movie.

251
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,800
What about you, Chris?
How long has it been since you

252
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,200
rewatched it?
Yeah, it's before I saw it this

253
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,200
week.
It's been a long time.

254
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,880
It's this is not one of the, you
know, I've been on your podcast

255
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,920
several times and a lot of the
movies we talk about come back

256
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,960
on TBS or TNT.
Yeah, that kind of thing.

257
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,920
This movie, though, is not that,
you know, I'm sure I saw it on

258
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,200
television as a rerun, but it
was around a Halloween themed,

259
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,400
you know, weekend kind of
marathon of movies and mystery

260
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,880
and horror and those kind of
things.

261
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,920
So, but it's easily probably for
me, been about 15 years since

262
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:10,600
I've seen.
It.

263
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:11,440
Wow, yeah.
Yeah.

264
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,800
What about you, Jerry?
Every other weekend.

265
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,520
Not every other weekend, but,
but I did see it in June.

266
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,840
June was the last time I'd seen
it prior to for for this.

267
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,560
Yeah, gotcha.
I do.

268
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:24,200
I watch it like two or three
times a year.

269
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,080
Yeah, Jerry's just got being
Jerry's the guy.

270
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,200
He's going to watch them all
over and over and over again.

271
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,840
So yeah.
But yeah, it's it's been, Yeah,

272
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,960
go ahead.
No, I was just going to say

273
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,920
there are some that I do watch
over and over again, but there

274
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,080
are some that I space out like
once a year.

275
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,560
You know, you got to got to give
a little space.

276
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,440
There you go.
There you go.

277
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,640
Yeah, this.
I haven't seen this in a long

278
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,080
time.
Like I think I like said, I

279
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,960
bought the digital version maybe
a year ago knowing that I was

280
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,960
going to cover it on the
podcast, but I had not, you

281
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,280
know, I hadn't seen it probably
since it was probably on TV that

282
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,280
it was on like, but like you
guys 1520 years ago when when

283
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,880
they were still playing it on TV
and so.

284
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,080
So, yeah.
So I think I watched it like a

285
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,160
year, a year and a half ago.
I think because I I bought it, I

286
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,640
was like, I want to go and re
watch it and it was like, but I

287
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,520
I kind of watched it, but I just
kind of had it on.

288
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,080
I really wasn't watching it
watching it.

289
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,400
So it was fun to really sit down
and watch it again this week and

290
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,640
kind of take it all in again.
So it was a lot of fun.

291
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,400
All right, let's talk about a
story origin of pre production.

292
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,960
Not a lot to cover, which is
good.

293
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,240
We've got a pretty lengthy cast
to talk about.

294
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,760
So but as I mentioned in the
opening, this was the first

295
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,840
movie based on a board game of
the board game was originally

296
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,320
called Cludo published by
Waddingtons in the United

297
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,000
Kingdom in 1949, followed soon
after by the American version.

298
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,920
It quickly became one of the
world's most popular board

299
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,560
games, eventually selling more
than 100 million units and

300
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,840
earning in excess of $1 billion
billion dollars.

301
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,280
Sorry, every time I, you know
those numbers.

302
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,440
Producer Deborah Hill, yes, the
Deborah Hill that Co wrote

303
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,000
Halloween initially acquired the
rights to adapt the game from

304
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,680
Parker Brothers and intended to
distribute to Universal Pictures

305
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,400
as early as 1981.
But then executive producer and

306
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,720
director John Landis conceived
the storyline for Clue, and he

307
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,240
approached the famed playwright
and screenwriter Tom Stoppard to

308
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,960
pin the script.
Stoppard worked on the project

309
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,120
for a year before quitting and
returning all the money he's

310
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,640
been paid for his services.
He's like, I just can't do it.

311
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,000
When stop.
Yeah.

312
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,400
When?
When Stopper departed the

313
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,000
project Land assault legendary
composer Stephen Sodheim and

314
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,400
famous actor Anthony Perkins to
write the screenplay, just as

315
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,160
they did together for The Last
of Sheila in 1973.

316
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,640
But both were too expensive, and
in the end, director Jonathan

317
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,920
Lynn wrote the screenplay
himself.

318
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,880
So Jonathan Lynn, I knew I
recognized that name.

319
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,560
This was one of the 1st movies
he directed.

320
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,840
But other ones that you would
ruin from are as My Cousin

321
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,600
Vinny, the whole 10 yards, I
think is the other one that the.

322
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,920
Old 9 yards.
Whole 9 yards the first one

323
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,200
yeah, so but I'm a huge fan of
my cousin Vinny.

324
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,720
So he's he's done some really
good, good comedies.

325
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,960
So but that's it for a product
production.

326
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,000
They they went through a couple
of writing changes.

327
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:29,200
I did read some item, but on my
notes, I think Jonathan Lynn had

328
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,040
them watch like a lot of 30s
screwball comedies to for

329
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,160
preparation and how he wanted
the dialogue to be done.

330
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,200
And you can definitely see that
in the movie.

331
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,200
Like it feels like that kind of
that throwback slapstick, you

332
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,920
know, screwball comedies, not
maybe a slapstick, but a lot of

333
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,280
physical comedy, a lot of rapid
fire dialogue that was very

334
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,320
popular, which I think works for
the movie because it's kind of

335
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,040
the time period that it's set
in.

336
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,680
And I was I was going to say
something about I think another

337
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,240
reason why it probably doesn't
get replayed as much and also

338
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,400
probably why for the girl, for
your girls there me why it might

339
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,160
be harder for them to watch now
is because it talks so much

340
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,160
about themes are like the
government themes of that era

341
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,000
that you kind of almost need a
history lesson, McCarthy to kind

342
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,440
of understand some of the yeah,
some of the reasons why as a

343
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,880
kid, that's probably why it
wasn't one that I watched over

344
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,359
and over again.
I love the ending once it gets

345
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,680
more zany.
But that first like half hour or

346
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,240
so where it's all the exposition
of like who they are and their

347
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,800
connections and stuff.
I didn't really understand that

348
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,080
as a kid.
So I could see how that would be

349
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,160
harder for younger audiences
today to maybe be able to piece

350
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,320
those things together.
I don't know what you guys

351
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,480
think.
No, for sure.

352
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,120
I mean, yeah, there's
definitely, you know, they talk,

353
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:49,160
there's like some Cold War stuff
in there.

354
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,880
There's, you know, when you talk
about communism, there's the

355
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,320
McCarthy stuff and, you know,
all the witch hunts.

356
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,760
I mean, yeah, there's definitely
stuff I didn't get as a kid, but

357
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,040
the delivery still made it
funny.

358
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,520
Yeah, he's got some good jokes
for sure.

359
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,680
That I like when you break it
down that you find out that

360
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,040
Professor Plum works for you
know who.

361
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,320
That's right.
Yeah, because he works for, you

362
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,720
know, he says that, and then he
goes, this is a particular

363
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,400
branch for the World Health
Organization, which is who?

364
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,480
So who you know?
Who you know?

365
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,640
There are a lot of good little
things there.

366
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,800
One of the things I did look up
because I was just curious, is

367
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,760
what house they were using and
it turns out that they built all

368
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,560
of that set in the studio and
except for the ballroom except

369
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:39,040
for the.
Ballroom.

370
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:40,280
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

371
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,320
Wall room was authentic to the
house where they filmed the

372
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,520
outside shots were of a real
estate which I also learned is

373
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,200
burned down now but.
Yeah, yeah.

374
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:53,080
And I think they used it for
Dynasty, like it was the same

375
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,960
exterior shots for some of the
Dynasty shows.

376
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,280
Whatever.
All right, well, let's talk

377
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,680
about let's talk about the cast.
And the main cast is in

378
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,560
alphabetical order, as it is in
the opening credits.

379
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,760
So we'll start with Eileen
Brennan as Missus Peacock.

380
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,800
She made her film debut in the
satire Divorce, American Style

381
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,240
in 1967, followed by a
supporting role in Peter

382
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,400
Bogdanovich's The Last Picture
Show in 1971, which earned her a

383
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,920
BAFTA Award nomination for Best
Supporting Actress.

384
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,160
She gained further critical
acclaim for her role as Captain

385
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,640
Doreen Lewis in Private Benjamin
in 1980, earning an Oscar

386
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,400
nomination for Best Supporting
Actress.

387
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,160
Of course, she reprised the role
in the television adaptation

388
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,640
television series Adaptation,
winning both the Golden Globe

389
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,480
and a Prime Time Emmy Award.
She worked prolifically in

390
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,520
television, receiving Emmy
nominations for her guest roles

391
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,080
on Newhart, 30 Something, Taxi
and Will and Grace.

392
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,920
So yeah, I I knew her from the
Private Benjamin TV show.

393
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,240
Like I remember watching that
show as a kid, knowing that it

394
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,480
was based on a movie, but never
seen the movie.

395
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,160
And then I think years later, I
saw the movie and had no idea it

396
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,200
was a slut.
They had used the same person in

397
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,720
the movie and the TV show, which
I thought was kind of odd at

398
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,280
that time, but.
It's pretty rare, yeah.

399
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,400
But she's fun in this, so yeah.
Anybody else have thoughts of

400
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,800
Eileen Brennan?
No, I mean, I, I this is where I

401
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,280
learned of her.
So I had seen her private

402
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,480
Benjamin, but I didn't really
put two and two together until

403
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,400
much later.
This is like when someone says

404
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,160
Eileen Brandon.
I think clue.

405
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,520
Right, right.
Yeah.

406
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,640
That's the first thing you saw
her.

407
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,040
And I'm sure that's probably why
it would be for sure.

408
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,160
Yeah.
This was her first movie after

409
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,920
her release from the Betty Ford
Center for Painkiller Addiction,

410
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,320
caused by her recovery from a
1982 car accident.

411
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,400
Her greatest physical challenge
during shooting was running

412
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,800
around the mansion for the
reenactment sequence, which is

413
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,800
pretty crazy that all the
running around they're doing so

414
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,520
next in the line is Mr. Tim
Curry as Wadsworth, the Butler.

415
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,400
Of course.
He received acclaim for his on

416
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,800
screen roles including Rooster,
Hannigan and Annie in 82,

417
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,280
Darkness and Legend in 85.
Any wise in the miniseries It in

418
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,680
1990, The Concierge and Home
Alone 2, Lost in New York, Long

419
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,080
John Silver and Muppet Treasure
Island 96.

420
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,960
His other notable film
appearances include The Worst

421
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,360
Witch in 86, The Hunt for
October 1990, 3 Musketeers in

422
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:27,480
1993, Charlie's Angels in 2000,
Scary Movie 2 in 2001, and of

423
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,800
course, he was also.
He's also a prolific Emmy voice

424
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,920
actor for roles in animation,
including Captain Hook and Peter

425
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,280
Pan and the Pirates from 1991,
Hexus in the film Fern Gully,

426
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,560
The Last Rainforest 92.
He was also Sir Nigel Thornberry

427
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,040
in The Wild Thornberrys from 98
to 2004 voice Chancellor

428
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:52,000
Palpatine Darth Sidious in Star
Wars The Clone Wars from 2012 to

429
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:52,880
2014.
He.

430
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,880
Was also in an episode of Psych
the American Duos episode.

431
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,520
Nigel St.
Nigel.

432
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,760
That's his name.
It's perfect.

433
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,680
I'm a huge Psych fan.
I am too.

434
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:03,920
I love it.
I love it.

435
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,520
Yeah.
Where he plays the the Simon

436
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,000
Cowell.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

437
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,520
yeah, I remember that now.
Yeah, yeah.

438
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,120
Tim Curry.
I mean that, I mean, talk about

439
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:16,840
a prolific actor.
I mean, and it's funny because I

440
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,520
think there's this meme about
like, if you mention the name

441
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,760
Tim Curry, whatever, like role
that they remember him from

442
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,120
tells you a lot about that
person.

443
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:27,960
Yeah, yeah.
Is he Doctor Frankfurter from

444
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,280
the Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Is he from Clue?

445
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,760
He's from Home Alone too.
So yeah, he but he's, he's

446
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,640
great.
And I had kind of forgotten that

447
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,280
he suffered a stroke a couple,
you know, several years ago.

448
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,520
So, and has kind of he did, he
did do an interview about the

449
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,440
the movie I was reading because
I guess it was an article that

450
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,160
was printed what he was not able
to be a part of because he had

451
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,200
recently had the stroke.
But then a couple years later

452
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,880
they re released the article
with him being able to talk

453
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,200
about the role because he's he
said publicly this was his

454
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,960
favorite role of the films that
he'd been in.

455
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,400
So he enjoyed this one the most.
What?

456
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,520
Understand why?
Yeah.

457
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,400
I mean, like the last half of
the movie is all yes, him,

458
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,560
right?
And it's just this super punchy,

459
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,680
snappy dialogue.
He's like, like his energy

460
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,480
levels just had to be massive.
So yeah, for sure.

461
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,400
I know he was supposed to be in
the whodunit clue documentary

462
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,560
that Jeff C Smith did, but he
came down with COVID the day

463
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,360
they were supposed to interview
Tim Curry.

464
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:32,640
And he didn't want to be known
as the guy that gave Tim Curry,

465
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,640
you know, COVID.
So he he cancelled and

466
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,760
apparently they didn't get the
message on time and it was a big

467
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,400
deal.
But that would have been it

468
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,400
would have been really cool to
hear his thoughts on it in that

469
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,400
documentary.
All right.

470
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,160
Any other thoughts on Harry
before we move on?

471
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,200
Just that he's awesome.
I mean, I'll just throw in he

472
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,080
was almost the voice of the
Joker on Batman the Animated

473
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,320
Series.
That's right.

474
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,480
That's right.
But he was, his voice was

475
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,960
deemed, too scary.
I mean, he is a little bit like

476
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,560
in home alone too, when after he
runs a credit card and it's

477
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,520
discovered that it's stolen and
he his grin like just grows

478
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,640
slowly, like the grin.
You know, there's something that

479
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,120
that is kind of scary, but then
of course in darkness and it

480
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:18,000
it's just like, wow.
Well, yeah, yeah, he can be fun,

481
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,880
but if he needs to be dark and
mysterious, he can definitely

482
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,520
pull that off for sure.
So I did like him in the shadow.

483
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,360
Was in the shadow.
I have to.

484
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,720
I have to go back and watch that
one.

485
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,360
That's the one with Alec
Baldwin.

486
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,800
With Alec Baldwin.
Yeah.

487
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:30,640
OK.
Yeah, Yeah.

488
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,240
Too many, too many to mention.
But he was not the first choice

489
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,400
for Wadsworth.
The first choice was Leonard

490
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,480
Rossiter, but he died before
filming commenced.

491
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,480
I think he was like, he was
known as like, like a fast

492
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,560
talking Butler and like some
other movie or TV show.

493
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,800
The second choice was Mr. Bean
himself, Rowan Atkinson, but it

494
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,320
was decided he was not
sufficiently well known at the

495
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,840
time so.
I want to see that version.

496
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,400
Though that would have been a
whole different movie.

497
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,520
Yeah.
Yeah, that.

498
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,960
Was really different.
Yeah, yeah.

499
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:07,320
But I wouldn't that would have
leaned into like that kind of

500
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,520
the British, you know, humor a
little bit.

501
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,440
It would have brought that that
in a little bit more, I think,

502
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,280
because that's what he was known
for at that time.

503
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,360
Was the British comedies before
the before Mr. Bean.

504
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,680
And let's get Leslie Nielsen as
Colonel Mustard.

505
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,040
And we got ourselves a movie.
All right, next on this, we got

506
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,480
Madeline Kahn as Missus White.
She was known for comedic roles

507
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,120
in films directed by Peter
Bogdanovich that does the name

508
00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:33,880
Again I Don't Want to Say and
Mel Brooks, including What's Up

509
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:39,160
Doc in 72, Young Frankenstein in
74, High Anxiety 77, Larry's

510
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,240
Favorite History of the World
Part 1/19/81, and her Academy

511
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,200
Award nominated roles in Paper
Moon in 73 and Blazing Saddles

512
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,120
in 74.
Blazing Saddles.

513
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,160
Yeah, Oh yeah.
But this is what I knew Madeline

514
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,240
Kahn from for sure.
That and I had seen Young

515
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,040
Frankenstein.
I had Frankenstein the World

516
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,280
Part 2, I mean Part 1 as a kid
on new TV versions of it.

517
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,680
But but of course her famous
flames on the side of my face

518
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,640
monologue was completely ad
libbed, which I thought was

519
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,760
fantastic.
Which part of me wonders if

520
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,760
that's the reason because that
it's such iconic, but when you

521
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,160
watch it in the movie it's just
abruptly stop.

522
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so like, how much longer did

523
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,800
she go is what I wanted to.
Know yeah, what I read was like

524
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,680
the director let her do like
several different takes of like

525
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,760
random things, but that one was
the one that caused the cast to

526
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,480
crack up like they they
completely lost it.

527
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,960
And so I think that's why it's
cut so short because trying to

528
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,680
get them back in like you had to
get those shots of them, but

529
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,360
trying to get them to a straight
face it was hard to do so.

530
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,880
And I think she I think she went
a lot longer and so he just had

531
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,040
to keep it short.
But yeah, but yeah, that she's

532
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,080
great.
I just, you know, and she's

533
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,400
great in this too.
I love it.

534
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,000
I really liked her in this part.
She's a very, very gifted

535
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,120
vocalist too.
And if you hear in the Jolly

536
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:09,920
Goodfellow section, you know,
she starts just ad libbing these

537
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,080
extra parts in between the lines
and then at the end she's doing

538
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,680
these super high harmonies and
they all sound really good.

539
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,360
And I'm like, man, this is a,
this is a perfect moment for her

540
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:21,520
to shine a little bit.
What I wonder in that scene,

541
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,800
too, when they're singing Jolly
Goodfellow, is did the rest of

542
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,280
the cast know?
Because Michael McKean turns and

543
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,280
looks at her.
Yeah, yeah, he does.

544
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:33,000
Like, and of course you know he,
he's a musician.

545
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,080
Yes, yeah, yeah.
So like, I'm wondering Dang,

546
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,400
like.
You have to guess that was ad

547
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,880
Lib.
I just guessing but.

548
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,560
Yeah, could be.
I didn't see that in the notes,

549
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,720
but, but it's very possible.
So I'll mention Christopher

550
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,400
Lloyd as Professor Plum.
We've covered him extensively

551
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,320
and are Back to the Future
episodes, so I'm not going to go

552
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,360
over his filmography.
But if you don't know who

553
00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:00,000
Christopher Lloyd is and you're
an 80s fan, where, what are you

554
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,560
doing with your life?
And this was released the same

555
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,000
year as Back to the Future, so I
think that's interesting to see

556
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,440
what a variety of characters he
played in 19/19/19.

557
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,880
Is it a variety?
Is it a variety?

558
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,280
Is he not playing?
Not.

559
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,440
A variation of Doc Brown.
He's a he's a little more

560
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,960
straight laced in this one.
I think he's not quite as 1.21

561
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,560
gigawatts, you know.
So, yeah.

562
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,720
But then as we, as we mentioned,
Michael McKean as Mr. Green.

563
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,760
McKean started his career as
Lenny in the ABC sitcom Laverde

564
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,800
and Shirley from 76 to 83.
That's where I knew him from.

565
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,160
He was briefly a cast member on
Saturday Night Live for its 19th

566
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,920
and 20th season.
From 94 to 95.

567
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,520
He has acted in films such as
Used Cars in 1980, The Big

568
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,320
Picture in 89, the latter of
which he Co wrote celebrated

569
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,040
with Christopher Guest acting as
films such as this Espinal Tap

570
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,560
at 84, Eston Show 2000, A mighty
win 2003 and For Your

571
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,920
Consideration in 2006.
He Co wrote the song A mighty

572
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,520
win for the film A Mighty Wind
and he won a Grammy Award as

573
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,760
well as A kiss at the end of the
rainbow from the same film which

574
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,080
was nominated for an Academy
Award which he wrote along with

575
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,000
his.
Wife Annette O'Toole Yes, that's

576
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:17,920
right.
Another 2.

577
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,560
So yeah, so he's prolific actor
so and even though he's Spinal

578
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,000
Tap sequel, sorry.
And then yeah, yeah, this is.

579
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:29,280
Spinal Tap, Come on.
And then he, even though he only

580
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:34,600
appeared in one episode, he is
officially the Perry White of

581
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,680
the Smallville universe.
OK.

582
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,240
Got.
To bring in that Superman

583
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,360
reference.
Good job, Mary.

584
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,640
Yeah, of course.
And then his wife.

585
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,080
Played Martha.
Yeah.

586
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,320
Martha, Yeah.
Yeah, why did you say that?

587
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,480
Name different Superman.
Oh yeah, right, right.

588
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,240
And then we've got Martin Mull
as Colonel Mustard.

589
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,360
We covered him in Mr. Mom, which
this was another great role for

590
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,920
him.
And then we've got Leslie Ann

591
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,000
Warren as Miss Scarlett.
In the 70s, she worked mostly on

592
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,400
television, receiving a Golden
Globe nomination for playing

593
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,400

1988, Life Stinks.
Oh, sorry, life, life stinks.

601
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,000
In 1991, Pure Country 92 Color
of Color of Night.

602
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,200
There's your Bruce Willis
reference.

603
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,040
Laramie in 1994.
That's a heck of a Bruce Willis.

604
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:45,520
Movie.
Yeah.

605
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,040
No, we don't.
Not one.

606
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,120
Not one we were the 1 to talk
about and secretary in 2002, but

607
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,320
yeah.
According to an interview with

608
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,800
writer and director Jonathan
Lynn, after a screening of the

609
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,880
25th anniversary of the movie's
release, Carrie Fisher was

610
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,600
originally cast as Miss Scarlett
until she ended up in rehab for

611
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,760
drug addiction.
Four days before filming

612
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,200
started, Fisher called Lynn and
agreed to a work furlough, which

613
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,840
which received approval of her
clinicians and the producers,

614
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,320
but was vetoed from the
productions insurance company,

615
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,440
forcing Lynn to dismiss her from
the project.

616
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,440
Leslie Ann Warren was cast as a
last minute replacement.

617
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,040
Why is that?
Because she was in a

618
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,760
relationship with John Peters
was one of the producers, but

619
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,440
also.
Did you not say that Eileen

620
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,760
Brennan had just gotten over an
addiction?

621
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,400
Yes, yes.
So.

622
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,000
But she was out of rehab at
that.

623
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,960
Point.
So yeah, I know, yeah, yeah.

624
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,000
It was like a special.
They had to get special

625
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,400
permission and it was literally
just the insurance guys who were

626
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,920
like come on, we can't do this.
Talk about liability.

627
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,160
Yeah, I think that also.
Would have been a very.

628
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,240
Different movie with Carrie
Fisher.

629
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:51,880
I think she would have been.
Great.

630
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,120
She would have killed it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

631
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,120
Like when I saw that I was kind
of like, Dang it, that would

632
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,040
have been really good.
So because she's also like a

633
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,720
famously.
Like a Hollywood, you know,

634
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,960
script doctor, so you know that
if there was something there,

635
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:09,520
she would have punched it up.
How old was she in?

636
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,040
84 or 85 when they, well, she
was what, 19?

637
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,200
And 77, so maybe 25.
Yeah, she was.

638
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,640
In the 20s, so definitely
younger than Leslie Ann Warren.

639
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,200
Yeah.
And so I'm just thinking.

640
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,640
About those scenes with at the
beginning with Professor Mom.

641
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:31,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wonder if that that'll still

642
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,120
would have little problematic
Tucker.

643
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,080
Yeah.
True.

644
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:40,600
Still though, you you glossed
over Martin Mull pretty quickly.

645
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:41,520
Yeah, you did.
Yeah.

646
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,960
Yeah, we we talked.
About him in the previous

647
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,880
episode.
But go ahead, I may may.

648
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,840
Point myself out as the youngest
of this group right here.

649
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,360
But I do remember him on
Roseanne.

650
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,560
I primarily focus on him from
Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

651
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,440
OK, Yeah.
So I got to.

652
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,880
No, I don't remember that.
I remember he he had like a

653
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,960
super brief cameo in Jingle All
the Way.

654
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,000
He was like a radio DJ.
He was DJ.

655
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,720
Yeah, radio DJ.
But see.

656
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,600
I also know him from.
He was the he was the lawyer for

657
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,280
the Bluth family on Arrested
Development.

658
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,560
Arrested Development?
That's right.

659
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,880
Yeah.
He was Gene Parmesan.

660
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,800
Yeah.
I mainly know him from Mr. Mom.

661
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,840
Like that's the that's the
iconic Martin Mole role that I

662
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,480
know him from.
And then we've got Colleen Camp

663
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,480
as the vet after appearing in
several bit parts, She had a

664
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,080
lead role in the comedy The
Swinging Cheerleaders in 74,

665
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,000
followed by roles in two
installments of the Police

666
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,240
Academy series.
She also had supporting roles in

667
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:52,080
Apocalypse Now in 79, and she
was also Julie Richmond's

668
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,720
Mother, Sarah and Valley Girl.
She continued to have minor and

669
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,040
supporting roles in various
independent and studio films

670
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:02,440
including Heather Bruce Willis,
Die Hard with a Vengeance in 95,

671
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:07,120
Election in 99, Factory Girl in
2006, American Hustle in 2013,

672
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,040
In the House with a Clock in Its
Walls in 2018.

673
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,600
Jennifer Jason Lee, Demi Moore
and Madonna were quote UN quote

674
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,800
considered for the role of the
French maid Yvette.

675
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,520
Eager to learn the part, Colleen
Camp Winter audition on a low

676
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,440
cut French maid costume showing
a lot of cleavage.

677
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,199
In a 2013 BuzzFeed
retrospective, writer and

678
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:28,480
director Jonathan Lynn admitted
that although he was impressed

679
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,880
with Camp's comedic acting
skills, it was her well endowed

680
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,679
figure that ultimately convinced
him.

681
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,719
He said, quote UN quote, there
was no avoiding it.

682
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,880
And in that costume, I could see
that there was was no avoiding

683
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,600
it.
They played, they played that

684
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:43,960
up.
Just a.

685
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,719
Little too much.
So I think that's like showing

686
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,239
was a PG movie in the 80s, how
much they got away with back

687
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,679
then.
But yeah, I, I remember when I

688
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:55,040
watched this a couple years ago,
I saw her and I was like, I know

689
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,200
I've seen her in something else,
but I guess, you know, she's

690
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,360
doing the little fake accent at
the beginning.

691
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,760
And then when I saw she was in
the police Academy, he was like,

692
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,000
that's where I've seen her from.
Tackleberry's wife.

693
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,880
And I was like.
So then I watched the police

694
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,800
Academy movies like a year or
two after that.

695
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,680
I was like, it's so funny that's
the same person because she's

696
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,440
such a different character in
those.

697
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,720
Then we've got leaving.
As Mr. Body, he's the front man

698
00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:20,480
of the Los Angeles based
hardcore punk band Fear.

699
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,720
As an actor, he played he had a
role in Flashdance in 83.

700
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:28,000
He was a motorcycle gang leader
in Streets of Fire in 84.

701
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,280
He also played the installer in
the movie The Wildlife in 84

702
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,760
with Christopher Penn.
And they said that he was

703
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,000
basically cast because of his
name.

704
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,320
B Ving because Mr. Body is
leaving.

705
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,080
Mr. Body is leaving.
Well, the studio wanted a.

706
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,800
Musician for Mr. Body and OK
yeah I don't know why they but

707
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:55,040
they insisted on it and so this
is like his Jonathan Lynn's kind

708
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,200
of F you to Hollywood a little
bit you know OK like you want a

709
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,880
famous musician well this is
your musician yeah and from.

710
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,880
A band that nobody's heard of.
Good job.

711
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:06,320
Yeah.
And it.

712
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,840
And is it me?
I thought there was.

713
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,480
And maybe it was just the
version that I was watching.

714
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,160
I mean, it's the version that I
guess is out there.

715
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:17,560
But in the scene towards the
beginning of his introduction

716
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,600
scene when he's like saying he's
the one that's blackmailed them,

717
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,960
it almost seems like his voice
is dubbed but I'm assuming it

718
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,800
was just a bad ADR there.
No, his voice is dubbed.

719
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,160
It's actually not.
It is OK.

720
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:31,800
Yeah, that was.
See that in?

721
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:32,520
Confirmed.
OK.

722
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,800
I don't recall who it was, but
for a long time people thought

723
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,440
it was Joe Montania.
OK, It's not.

724
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,880
It's it's someone else, but I I
just don't remember who it is

725
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,280
right now, but it has been fully
confirmed that it's dubbed.

726
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,680
OK, Yeah.
It was it.

727
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:48,440
Was just.
It was just a.

728
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,440
Bad match on one the one like
short scene and I was like, wait

729
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,720
a minute, is that really him
talking or is just a bad

730
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:56,760
overdub?
So OK, all right, we'll try to

731
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,800
hit these kind of quick.
Bill Henderson as the cop in the

732
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,800
mid 70s he appeared on mini TV
shows.

733
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,800
He was appeared in films like
Inside Moves and 80s City

734
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:11,120
Slickers and City Slickers in
91, White Men Can't Jump in 92,

735
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,160
among others.
He was actually a jazz musician

736
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,440
first before he got into acting.
Jane Weedland as the singing

737
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,480
Telegram girl.
Once again, another musician.

738
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,120
She's the lead singer of the Go
Go's.

739
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,840
Yep, She also played Joan of Arc
and Bill and Ted's Excellent

740
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,520
Adventure, which talked about
before Jeffrey Kramer was the

741
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,600
motorist.
He made his first appearance in

742
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,840
TV series Barney Miller.
He played Deputy Hendrix in Jaws

743
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:40,000
and Jaws too.
And he was also in Beretta.

744
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,400
And another like maybe the
Deborah Hill connection.

745
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,880
He appeared in Halloween 2
playing Graham, the dentist who

746
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,640
examines dead Ben Tramer's body,
believing him to be Michael

747
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,160
Myers.
So there's that connection.

748
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,520
And then Kelly Nakahara as the
cook.

749
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,720
She is most known for her role
in MASH, and she was also ATV

750
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:08,720
spokesman for IBM in the 80s.
And then the uncredited cameo.

751
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,280
Howard Hessman as.
The chief of police, who of

752
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,560
course you know as Doctor Johnny
Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati,

753
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,720
and Charlie Moore in head of the
class.

754
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,480
And of course Captain Pete
Lasard.

755
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:22,880
That's the one.
Yeah.

756
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,680
Police Academy to their first
assignment.

757
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:30,400
So, so, yeah, so him and Colleen
camp for both in police Academy

758
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,840
too.
I think that's the cast.

759
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,680
Anybody.
I didn't leave anybody out.

760
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,920
I actually said everybody that
was in like, you know, just some

761
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,480
of those cops that come.
In I think you you covered every

762
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,360
Yeah, I don't know who else and
the.

763
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,360
Crazy thing was like.
Usually I'll skip over people.

764
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,080
There's like no kind of history,
but like some like little things

765
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,600
I want to mention.
But but yes, an ensemble.

766
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,320
Let's let's kind of talk about
the ensemble.

767
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,040
Do you have a favorite, a
favorite character in the

768
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,800
ensemble?
Not your favorite actor, but

769
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,560
like the actual character they
played.

770
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,120
Do you have a favorite?
Oh, that's hard when you say it.

771
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:05,360
That way so.
I think my favorite character in

772
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:10,840
the movie is Wadsworth, yeah.
I mean it's easy, but my

773
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,760
favorite character?
Include not including this

774
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,680
version of him.
It is a Professor Plum.

775
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,160
Yeah, OK.
So like, that's the character

776
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,520
you choose.
To play as when you're playing,

777
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,280
yeah, yeah, OK.
And it's.

778
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,360
Always it's dumb.
When I was a kid, I saw a

779
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,720
professor and I just thought,
oh, he's like a cool, like

780
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:31,560
nuclear physicist or something.
A professor could be anything,

781
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,040
right?
But as a kid, I didn't know.

782
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,840
And so I was just and he had
glasses.

783
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,520
He's kind of nerdy.
So I was like, hey, he's me.

784
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,520
So yeah.
So I, I tend to gravitate

785
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,240
towards him.
But in the movie, I mean, I

786
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:45,120
think Wadsworth, you know, is
probably the the stand out

787
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,920
character in the whole thing
wants to go next.

788
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:52,600
I was going to say Miss White
until you said because I don't

789
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,960
think, Can you separate that
character from Madeleine Kahn?

790
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,840
I don't know.
So yeah, it's hard to.

791
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,280
Yeah.
Yeah, but.

792
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,680
I mean, yeah, if you just go
maybe character loan, I'd

793
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:09,760
probably also say Wadsworth, but
but yeah, no, my, my gut that

794
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,520
flames on the side of my feet.
Like that's just so good.

795
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,680
It's so good.
It's so iconic.

796
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,800
I mean, there's even a couple of
moments where she just makes

797
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,640
like a noise and it's it's
hilarious.

798
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:24,680
Yeah.
Yeah.

799
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:25,720
So.
So funny.

800
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,680
Yeah, the Colonel Mustard.
Character a lot the you know,

801
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:34,000
the idea that this this career
military man, you know, is

802
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,880
getting jump scared by
chandeliers and various scenes

803
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,960
is just kind of humorous to me,
you know, and I think he I think

804
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,680
you're exactly right, Jerry,
when you said earlier that this

805
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,680
would have been a perfect Leslie
Nielsen role.

806
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:52,680
He plays it so straight laced,
you know, and with without any

807
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:57,600
kind of sense of humor in it.
And it's just a really good role

808
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,320
for Martin.
I think it's it's fun you.

809
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,520
Know that whole interaction of.
Are you trying to make me look

810
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,080
stupid?
You don't need any help from me,

811
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,520
Sir.
That's right, That's right, I

812
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,280
don't.
Then he just pauses like, well,

813
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,160
even even like Chris is.
Saying when when he talks about

814
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,400
that he got his money because he
lost his mommy and daddy.

815
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,640
Yeah, yeah, yes.
Yeah, yeah, I think I read that.

816
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,840
I didn't put in my notes, but
Michael McKean said they were

817
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,600
having so much fun, like in
between takes, like they would

818
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,840
be like cracking each other up
that he would say a line from

819
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,240
the movie to make them like get
like something terrible is about

820
00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:36,360
to happen, like something try to
get them back kind of focused on

821
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,720
like, you know, he's like
because we is like his whole

822
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:41,640
thing was we have to play it
like it's serious life or death

823
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,560
or it's not going to work.
Like if they hammed it up, it

824
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,120
wasn't it wouldn't it wouldn't
work.

825
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,320
But because they're all playing
it completely straight is why it

826
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,760
works so well.
So all right, iconic scenes.

827
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:57,640
If someone said to you clue what
is the scene that pops into your

828
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,720
head, go ahead.
Your flames.

829
00:42:00,240 --> 00:42:02,840
It's it's, it's got to be.
Flames yeah, that's which is

830
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,160
crazy because that's that's in
the third ending so.

831
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,560
Like when it first came out that
wasn't that may not have been

832
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,160
which everybody saw, which I
think is crazy.

833
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,720
So yeah.
What about you, Chris?

834
00:42:15,720 --> 00:42:17,160
Same.
The flames on the side of your

835
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,760
face or you have a different
one.

836
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,960
You know I like the.
Endings, the the variation of

837
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,600
them, the creativity obviously
is a real cluey thing.

838
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:29,240
But you know, I really also like
the scene where they're making

839
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:34,840
out with all the dead corpses
and Bernie style stuff going on.

840
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,240
Right, right.
Huge.

841
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,880
Weekend at Bernie's fans.
So I see the the.

842
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,840
References.
To that and and I just, I

843
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,960
thought that part was just
hilarious with the policeman

844
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,840
trying to pull one over on him,
you know?

845
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:54,400
Yeah, because they cover the.
Blood on the motorist, Yeah, but

846
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,200
Mr. Body.
Just saw their blood splattered

847
00:42:58,440 --> 00:42:59,720
all there.
Yeah.

848
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,200
And then when?
When he's kissing the cook or

849
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,440
whatever and he's trying to hold
her, he pulls like her eyelids

850
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,680
up, pulls her to her eyeballs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

851
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,240
I was like, OK, come on, man.
What kind of cop are you?

852
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,440
Yeah.
And then, you know, this guy's

853
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,120
dead drunk.
Oh, he's dead all right.

854
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,320
Dead right.
Yeah.

855
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,200
You're dead right?
Yeah, I can assure.

856
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,600
You he will not be driving home.
We'll get.

857
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,360
Him, a car a black.
Car yeah a black car so good all

858
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,200
right yeah yeah iconic things
like I mean yeah a lot of the a

859
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,760
lot of the the sight gags like
them bumping into each other and

860
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,320
you know the some of the jump
scares and stuff are kind of the

861
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,400
stuff that I remember but I
really remember like for me I

862
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,560
it's not really an iconic scene
but what I remember from the

863
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,200
movie like I said I remember
watching the endings probably

864
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,280
more than anything else so the
little place cards between the

865
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,800
endings were like it could have
happened this way but it did

866
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,880
have you know what if it was
this so I definitely remember

867
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,600
that that's like the that's like
the thing that I remember of it

868
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,200
as a kid I always think also go.
Ahead.

869
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,920
Wadsworth running around right
before all the endings,

870
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:05,480
especially the one where he has
the knife and it's the way Tim

871
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:09,000
Curry runs, yeah.
Because he's like, slightly.

872
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,600
Back and yeah, it's like he's
he's keeping like his.

873
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,160
Butler's posture, right?
Yes, really.

874
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,440
Upright, yeah.
I always wanted.

875
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,760
You know, at the very end,
during the credits, they have

876
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,560
the the clue cards, like the
game cards with them.

877
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,920
I always wanted those as a game.
Yeah, they should have released

878
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,160
a movie.
Version of them.

879
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,720
Yeah, there, there.
Was a bootleg.

880
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:32,840
Version of it that apparently if
you can find one, is super

881
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,320
expensive.
But yeah, like that seems like

882
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:37,040
they could have just printed
money.

883
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,360
Like especially as it started
getting a.

884
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,000
Cult film status.
They should have just.

885
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,520
I don't know.
There's your, there's your

886
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,440
$1,000,000.
Idea to me.

887
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,760
It's crazy to me that this was
not a successful movie.

888
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,240
Yeah, but but of course, my
favorite movie, Shawshank

889
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:56,120
Redemption, and it wasn't
successful either.

890
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,440
Yeah.
Doesn't mean that just because

891
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:00,520
it's.
Successful doesn't mean it's a

892
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,200
great movie and just because and
vice versa, Yeah.

893
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:04,440
And vice versa.
Yeah, exactly.

894
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,280
Yeah.
Any other?

895
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,280
What are any?
About favorite scenes, I know we

896
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,000
talked about some I I was going
to say I love the flames.

897
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,480
Flames.
On the side of my face, yeah.

898
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:22,240
I also do like that.
At the very end, the last, the

899
00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:26,360
last scene, right, the last
version of the ending that they

900
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:30,080
do pay off the line that
everybody is familiar with from

901
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:34,600
the game where he says they shot
Mr. Body in the hallway with the

902
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,560
revolt.
I mean, you know exactly what we

903
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,720
all are looking for.
Yeah, they don't.

904
00:45:40,720 --> 00:45:43,520
Use that in the other.
Ones in the other thing which is

905
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,720
weird I.
Only pay it off in that last

906
00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:47,240
one.
And that's, that's a good one.

907
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,560
And then?
Now I'm going to go home and

908
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,640
kiss my wife.
Yeah, yeah.

909
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,040
It's like this.
Is this is like before the term

910
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,040
fanservice, like that's become a
term we're here recently with

911
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,720
all the, you know, reboots and
remakes.

912
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:03,440
But like that's I mean, you
think about this movie, this

913
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,440
this movie was not 100%, but it
was a really a lot of

914
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,840
fanservice.
Like if you love the game, there

915
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,520
were lots of we'll talk about we
getting trivia.

916
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,520
There were lots of little Easter
eggs before we call the Mr.

917
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,760
Easter eggs in the 80s, but like
things that if you knew the game

918
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,720
that you would have picked up on
or that were very intentional.

919
00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:24,280
They kept things very similar to
the game for you to take notice

920
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,240
of.
Like I even love like when they

921
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:30,040
open their boxes and like each,
you know, thing they have looks

922
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,400
like the the game piece, like
the the rope and the old school,

923
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,440
the big old heavy a wrench and
then the single pipe.

924
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:38,640
You know, it's like it's like
wow.

925
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,000
I mean, that's well, like you
said as a kid and playing the

926
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,640
game, that's what you knew.
So if they didn't have it in the

927
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,160
movie, you just wouldn't have
been the same.

928
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,560
Well, and also the.
What?

929
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,200
I like it, and I'm sure this was
intentional.

930
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:56,920
The floor of that entrance
hallway is squared off.

931
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,640
Like the board.
Like the board.

932
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:00,640
The board.
From the board game.

933
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,960
Is yeah.
So yeah.

934
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,480
To this day I still.
Randomly when I when my kids are

935
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,640
in their room and the doors
close, I'll do the let us in,

936
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,680
let us in, let us out, let us
out.

937
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:19,520
No 1 + 2 plus. 2 + 1, that's got
to be yeah, yeah, yeah, that's

938
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:20,720
got.
To be a scene for sure.

939
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,240
That's good.
Even if you're right, that's 1 +

940
00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:26,800
2 + 1 + 1, not 1 + 1 + 2 + 1.
There was a lot I was thinking

941
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,320
about a minute.
Ago and now I can't remember,

942
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,080
sorry, but it's one of my
favorites.

943
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,000
No, it's good.
I lost.

944
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,480
I lost them long before you
brought in the numbers they also

945
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,840
worked in.
Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a

946
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,640
damn.
Yes, they did.

947
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:45,880
For her ending, yeah, Ruby was
watching it with it with me.

948
00:47:46,240 --> 00:47:49,720
She had seen it before, and she
was telling me her favorite

949
00:47:49,720 --> 00:47:53,360
quote was the the Everything all
right?

950
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,880
Yep. 2 corpses.
Everything's fine.

951
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:56,120
Yeah.
Yeah.

952
00:47:57,240 --> 00:47:59,120
Nobody, nobody.
Mr. Buddy's buddy.

953
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,040
It's gone or the I'm not
shouting.

954
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,760
That's another one.
I'm not shouting.

955
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,000
All right?
I am.

956
00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:05,640
I'm shouting.
I'm shouting.

957
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,920
I'm Shout.
I.

958
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,320
Mean that the the writing.
In this is really good, like

959
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,240
even when I was going to looking
at the different quotes, like it

960
00:48:15,240 --> 00:48:18,560
was hard to find the 11 single
quote because it's so many good,

961
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,600
like, you know, bits that are
you know, they're worth the

962
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,640
lines working off of each other,
which which I always think are

963
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,440
great.
So all right, let's.

964
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:31,320
Jump into some.
Other scenes of trivia or trivia

965
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:32,600
and maybe think of those other
scenes.

966
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,880
So as I was mentioning in a lot
of detail to keep it consistent

967
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,600
with the game, color of each
character's car is the same

968
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,720
color as they're playing piece
in the game, as is introduced as

969
00:48:43,720 --> 00:48:45,880
follows.
Colonel Mustard drives a yellow.

970
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:50,440
Cadillac misses White drives a
black and white convertible

971
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:55,040
missus, Peacock drives a blue
Packer Deluxe Club sedan, Mr.

972
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:59,120
Green drives a green Plymouth
Cranbrook, Miss Scarlett drives

973
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:03,200
a red Lincoln Continental, and
Professor Plum drives a purple

974
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,040
Pontiac Stream lighter station
wagon.

975
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,360
Also attention to detail.
The secret passages in the movie

976
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,760
lead to the same rooms they do
in the board game.

977
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,720
The kitchen leads to the study
and the Conservatory leads to

978
00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:18,720
the lounge, which between
between this and Webster.

979
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,760
I really thought I would
experience more secret passages,

980
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,440
yeah.
Secret passageway save my life.

981
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,200
Yeah.
I'm kind of disappointed I

982
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,480
don't.
Have one in my house, yeah.

983
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,040
You know, they sort of brought a
Home Depot sells that bookshelf

984
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,560
that you can use as a door.
Yeah, Yeah.

985
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,240
And I've really, I, I look at
it, I mean, it's expensive as

986
00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:43,400
crap, but I look at it and I
just look around my house going

987
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,880
where could I, could I put this?
Yeah.

988
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,360
Yeah, I've, I fell into like
some sort of algorithm on

989
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,720
Facebook where randomly it'll
show me those kind of things,

990
00:49:52,720 --> 00:49:56,240
you know, the the DIY projects.
So I'm seeing these people do it

991
00:49:56,240 --> 00:49:58,680
like I need to have this like in
my house.

992
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,400
Yeah.
Still nowhere.

993
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,000
Yeah.
Yeah, very cool.

994
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:04,880
Yeah, I.
Agree.

995
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,080
I'm trying to think.
There was other.

996
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,560
Movies or TV shows like we'll,
we'll get to it.

997
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,160
So the decor that will also
point out the four.

998
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,240
Of us are representing 4
different colors as well.

999
00:50:16,240 --> 00:50:17,160
That is true.
That's.

1000
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,760
True, right.
Unintentional.

1001
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,440
Unintentional.
So who would that?

1002
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:23,920
So that would make you a Colonel
Mustard.

1003
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,920
I'd be Colonel Mustard.
I guess criticism is a scarlet.

1004
00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:29,440
Yeah, Mr. Scarlet, you, you
would either be.

1005
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:30,920
Peacock.
Or plum, Because you do.

1006
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,720
Yeah, yeah, a purple light, but
a blue.

1007
00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:34,280
Shirt I got the purple lights
behind me with a blue.

1008
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,520
Shirt Yeah, blue shirt and.
And then Jerry looks like he'd

1009
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:38,680
be Mr. Green.
Mr. Green?

1010
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:39,960
Yeah, Yeah.
So.

1011
00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:41,160
Well.
Done, guys.

1012
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:42,200
Well done.
Yeah, well done.

1013
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,360
The decor of the house includes
portraits of Presidents Abraham

1014
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:49,560
Lincoln, James A Garfield and
William Mcclenley, all of whom

1015
00:50:49,720 --> 00:50:52,640
were murdered, which I thought
was a cool little touch there.

1016
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,760
According to writer and director
Jonathan Lynn, they started

1017
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,120
shooting all scenes in
chronological order, but soon

1018
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,800
got behind on schedule.
And we're then obliged to change

1019
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:07,280
tactics and shoot all the scenes
set in the same room in a row.

1020
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,800
By the end of the shoot, they
were filming every scene set in

1021
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,360
the hallway in a row, which
could get quite confusing for

1022
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,920
the actors.
Luckily, Lynn himself knew the

1023
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,880
screenplay by heart because he
wrote it, and he also had a very

1024
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,800
good person in charge of
continuity.

1025
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,480
So yeah.
So every scene that was in the

1026
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:28,120
hallway they filmed at one time,
which I could see being very

1027
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,640
difficult for the actors to keep
up with for sure.

1028
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,040
Especially multiple actually.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1029
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,880
The multiple endings that that
was the part that that I

1030
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,040
thought.
Like how?

1031
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,120
Like you had to memorize the
three different endings and like

1032
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,200
not, you know, not to get that
mixed up.

1033
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,960
So and this made that made me
remember.

1034
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:52,400
I like the the like running joke
within the endings of a

1035
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,400
character saying there's one
thing I don't understand and

1036
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,160
then another character going one
thing.

1037
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,360
Yeah.
I did like that too.

1038
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,360
This was one of several.
Movies, mostly comedies made and

1039
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,120
released between the mid 70s and
mid 80s that revived the old

1040
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,640
Dark House Mansion movie.
Others included Haunted

1041
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:14,440
Honeymoon in 86, which I've seen
way more than this one, Murder

1042
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:19,400
by Death in 76, The Spiral
Staircase in 75, The Private

1043
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,080
Eyes in 1980 which I remember,
The Cat and the Canary in 78,

1044
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:27,200
House of the Long Shadows 83,
and Bloodbath at the House of

1045
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,920
Death in 1984.
I don't think I've seen that

1046
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:32,880
one.
Yeah, haunted honeymoon I love

1047
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:34,840
also.
That's another good one.

1048
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:36,880
I just.
I just found that on.

1049
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,520
Blue rail she wanted Laramie
that last week that I just found

1050
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,080
it on blue ray so I'm going to
watch it here pretty soon.

1051
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,200
That's that's one that it that
was on that was on HBO like

1052
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,840
almost every day and I'll have
to I remember that watching that

1053
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,960
one a lot.
Can we talk about the score real

1054
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,320
quick?
Yeah, go for it.

1055
00:52:51,720 --> 00:52:54,640
Like.
It's everything about it is it's

1056
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:59,160
like quintessentially like
murder mystery, you know, and

1057
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,720
they keep it creepy, but they
also keep it light and up tempo,

1058
00:53:02,720 --> 00:53:05,000
right?
And so it just it really

1059
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,240
progresses the scenes, you know,
and it's so catchy as well.

1060
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,320
Bump, bump, bump, bump.
You know, it's just it's, it's a

1061
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:16,120
really catchy melody that they
that they use here and it's it's

1062
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,200
perfect.
It really is just perfect for

1063
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,240
the film.
You know, sometimes and, and

1064
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,240
what I love about it, it's
memorable.

1065
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,720
Like not, not like a lot of and
I love, don't get me wrong, I

1066
00:53:25,720 --> 00:53:28,400
love the MCU.
I love, you know, the this new

1067
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,720
start to the DCU and all the
stuff.

1068
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,400
But like, if I asked you to sing
like this, the theme from Thor,

1069
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,040
nobody would remember it.
But if you asked to see the

1070
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,640
theme from Clue, like you can do
it off the top of your head,

1071
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,680
like so I I really appreciate
that.

1072
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,200
And that he kind of stuck with
that, that real, that kind of

1073
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:51,240
Victorian era setting.
Yeah, yeah, I.

1074
00:53:51,240 --> 00:53:53,400
Love the music like the.
Oldies and they're using in it.

1075
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,240
I liked Go Ahead Chris, a lot of
80s synthesizer.

1076
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,120
Sounds still you.
They come out also, yeah.

1077
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:03,760
Which is, yeah.
All right, so it was John

1078
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,680
Landis.
'S idea to have three different

1079
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,200
endings playing in different
theaters.

1080
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,200
So we have him to blame for it
now, his reasoning that if the

1081
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,600
audience caught on to the
gimmick, they would each go see

1082
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,600
the film three times.
But his plan backfired as people

1083
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,800
decide they didn't want to pay
three times to see the same

1084
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,800
movie with again.
Because each ending is probably

1085
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,800
only what, like maybe 5 minutes?
I mean, even though it's, yeah,

1086
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,680
even though it's only, it's only
an hour and 37 minute movie, I

1087
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:29,960
think.
So you're still paying, you

1088
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,360
know, to see 95% of the same
things.

1089
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:36,200
I think Jerry mentioned the
beginning.

1090
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,040
There was a fourth ending that
was written for the film,

1091
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,240
according to Lynn.
It really wasn't very good.

1092
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,680
I looked at it and I thought,
no, no, no, we've got to get rid

1093
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,080
of that.
In it, Wadsworth committed all

1094
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,360
of the murders and reveals he
poisoned the champagne, leaving

1095
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,040
no witnesses.
When the six guests soon die,

1096
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,320
the officers arrive and capture
Wadsworth, but he breaks free

1097
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,360
and steals a police car, though
the escape is ultimately

1098
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,600
thwarted when three police dogs
lunge from the backseat.

1099
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,160
Which I guess is how it was
going to end.

1100
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,320
Yeah, I mean all.
Right, let's talk about it.

1101
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:11,360
Which ending I won't say is the
best, but which one is your

1102
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,200
favorite of the three endings?
So I'll start with Laramie.

1103
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:20,960
It's C, you know, I yeah, I like
where they all, pretty much all

1104
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,360
are it, with the exception of
Mr. Green, they're all guilty.

1105
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,440
Yeah.
So yeah, I I just kind of like

1106
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:31,760
that, that whole concept that
because again, that's the game,

1107
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,040
like any one of them could be
the killer.

1108
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,320
And so I like the ending in
which all of them are the

1109
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,440
killers.
You know, I mean green.

1110
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,320
Technically is still a killer
because he kills Wadsworth or

1111
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,200
Mr. Body, whatever you want to
say at the end.

1112
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,680
So.
What about you, Chris?

1113
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:48,360
Well, I.
Kind of have to skew the.

1114
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:52,640
Other way, because I'm such a
fan of the game, I really only

1115
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:57,040
want one killer because that's
how the game always ends, right?

1116
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,280
That's the that's the other side
of the coin for me.

1117
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,800
But I really like the third
inning because I told you

1118
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,480
before, it pays off with the
tagline, right?

1119
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:09,280
It does that, but I I think I
have to stick with the Miss

1120
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,600
Scarlett ending just because
that's the one I saw in the

1121
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,320
theater.
And so I really associate that

1122
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:18,440
in my mind first with the movie
because I saw it originally,

1123
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,360
right?
Yeah, that.

1124
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,560
Totally makes sense.
What about you, Jerry?

1125
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:26,280
So I'm I'm kind of like.
Both I actually also I just

1126
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,760
wanted one killer because that's
how it is in the game.

1127
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:34,440
But the ending C is the best so
you know, it really is.

1128
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,400
I think it makes the most sense,
even though it doesn't really

1129
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,080
make sense if you think about it
too hard.

1130
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,800
You know, how would they know
where all the secret passages

1131
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:46,120
are and everything but but also
why vet told?

1132
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,200
Well, that one makes sense, but
you?

1133
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,960
Know, like Colonel Mustard
killing the the motorist in the

1134
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,000
lounge through a secret passage.
I mean, it, that one, I don't

1135
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,080
know.
But having said all that, I

1136
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,280
think ending C is the best
because we get the classic

1137
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,800
flames.
We get just all of the people

1138
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,400
just completely bewildered and
they're all guilty.

1139
00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:07,760
I mean, it's just it's, yeah,
it's.

1140
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,400
I got to go with C, Yeah.
Yeah, C is my favorite.

1141
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:15,480
I think because it has that pay
off the line, you know that that

1142
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:19,280
you that you want to hear like
it it and I think it kind of it

1143
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,120
it wraps everything up, I think
a little bit better than the

1144
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,040
other two, even though they're
still fun.

1145
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:29,120
But I think if they were going
for me, if they decided, you

1146
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,640
know, let's not do the multiple
endings, let's just do one.

1147
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:35,240
I think C is the one that kind
of fits the best of the three,

1148
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:38,600
but but it's still, I think it's
still fun to see the different

1149
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:40,920
endings.
All right, so I'll just briefly

1150
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:44,680
mention that there's been plans
for a remake that has not come

1151
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,000
to fruition yet, but for time,
I'm not going to go into that.

1152
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:48,160
If you want to read about it,
you can.

1153
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:52,080
And of course, there's a stage
adaptation that is out as well.

1154
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:56,360
So the screenplay for that was
for the adaptation was written

1155
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,560
by Jonathan Lynn, who wrote the
original screenplay.

1156
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:00,960
And so tell us what you think is
pretty cool.

1157
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:02,560
I tell you what.
What?

1158
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,080
It what essentially just a
staged version of this movie.

1159
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:06,360
Is it really?
Have you?

1160
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,760
Have you seen?
It I haven't.

1161
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,200
Seen it?
But I've read some of the script

1162
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,920
and it it essentially is just a
stage yeah version and I could

1163
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:17,640
see.
It see it being that way, I

1164
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:21,080
mean, because you have one,
pretty much one setting the

1165
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,400
different rooms.
So I could see it working on

1166
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,120
stage pretty well.
Yeah, yeah.

1167
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:31,240
I I would like to see as much as
I love this version, I would

1168
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:35,000
like to see a serious like real
whodunit like Agatha Christie

1169
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,440
style version of clue as well.
Are y'all aware that there was?

1170
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:42,760
Like a teen drama, Yeah.
Made in, like, 2011.

1171
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,360
Yeah.
I never saw it caught like.

1172
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,960
Clips of it and I was like, not
for me, but OK.

1173
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:50,800
Yeah, I haven't.
Watched all of it.

1174
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,800
It's only 5 episodes.
I've watched the first two.

1175
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,480
It's horrible.
I'm just going to go ahead and

1176
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,280
say that.
But yeah, you've got the six

1177
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,760
kids.
They witness what they believe

1178
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:02,640
is a murder.
But that was the thing when they

1179
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,720
all witness it, like again, I'm
watching it with my daughter and

1180
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,960
I went, well, that's it.
It was those guys in the hotel

1181
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,640
room with a Candlestick, like we
just saw it happen.

1182
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,000
None of them.
They don't have the names of the

1183
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,840
characters, but they get away.
They're connected.

1184
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:22,120
Like the kid who is is the
Professor Plum character.

1185
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:26,280
He's just a nerdy kid who goes
to a school called like Plum

1186
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:30,600
Academy.
And then then the.

1187
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:34,320
The kid that is the Colonel
Mustard character, they

1188
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,040
introduce him and figure out OK
he's supposed to be Colonel

1189
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,360
Mustard and then they show him
playing a video game called

1190
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:45,640
Mustard Missions.
And he achieves.

1191
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:48,680
Colonel Ranking.
Oh my gosh.

1192
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:49,960
Oh.
My gosh.

1193
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,000
Yeah, it's horrible.
And then and then throughout the

1194
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:56,000
again, I only watched the 2 two
episodes, but it takes place

1195
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,600
over multiple days.
But they're like the Power

1196
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:02,160
Rangers.
They're always wearing the color

1197
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,520
that is associated with the
character from the game.

1198
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,720
That's a.
But yeah, it it's bad.

1199
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:12,040
I'm just going to go.
I am going to finish it because

1200
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:13,680
I'm just curious.
You just have to though.

1201
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,480
Yeah, for sure.
I'm just curious.

1202
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,360
But yeah, it has to do with this
whole conspiracy with Nikola

1203
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:25,160
Tesla and OK, wow.
OK, yeah, there was a VCR

1204
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:26,800
version of the game.
Yeah.

1205
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:28,800
Oh yeah, yeah, I remember.
And then there was also a Clue

1206
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,280
2, which was like a sequel to
the VCR version of the game.

1207
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:34,920
It's.
Really bad.

1208
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:39,680
So I played it, I bought it for
my my brothers 1 Christmas

1209
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:41,040
because it was like a running
gag.

1210
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,320
I played it at a cousin's house.
And then we just never got to

1211
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,840
play it, my brothers and I and,
you know, we were so in the

1212
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,200
clue.
So I finally one Christmas got

1213
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:54,240
it for us and we we played it
and the acting in the whole

1214
01:00:54,240 --> 01:01:00,800
videos were Oh yeah, yeah.
If I never see it again, I'll be

1215
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,040
OK.
I think I saw the video.

1216
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,400
Like the video version of the
first one, like I think I

1217
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:07,200
remember like someone of my
friends had it.

1218
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:08,160
I don't think we played the
game.

1219
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,920
I just, we just watched the
video and I remember being like

1220
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:12,560
pretty terrible.
Like the acting.

1221
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:16,120
Yeah, the quality was pretty
pretty and they used the

1222
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:17,320
expanded.
Roster.

1223
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,320
So like somewhere in the late
80s, they released clue Master

1224
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:21,640
detective.
Yeah.

1225
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,120
OK with like Madam Rose.
Yeah.

1226
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,200
Miss Peach.
Yeah.

1227
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,880
Sergeant Gray.
So they use they use those in

1228
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,480
the cast.
And I think Professor Plum is

1229
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,760
like an archaeologist.
Archaeology professor.

1230
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,280
Mr. Green has like, connections
to the mob.

1231
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,120
Sergeant Gray is not actually a
Sergeant.

1232
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,720
He's like an escaped mental
patient that thinks he's like a

1233
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:43,520
cop.
I mean, it's.

1234
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,360
It was weird, man.
It was weird.

1235
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:47,960
Yeah.
Some things.

1236
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,600
Just be left alone.
It made me want to go.

1237
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,520
Back and watch this movie.
I'll say that.

1238
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,560
All right, well, let's talk.
About box office and start to

1239
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,080
wrap this one up clue was
released in the United states on

1240
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,600
December 13th, 1985 but
struggled at the box office

1241
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,600
opening at number six other the
other new.

1242
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,480
Release.
Jewel of the Nile took the

1243
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:10,120
number two spot behind Rocky 4,
which dominated the number one

1244
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:15,080
spot for the third week.
Klue grossed just $14.6 million

1245
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:19,240
in North America, just short of
its $15 million budget.

1246
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:23,160
So yes, it was not a box office
success, but once it was

1247
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:27,560
released on VHS and of course on
cable, where you could watch all

1248
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:31,040
three endings together is when
it kind of hit its cult status

1249
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:34,960
where it became a fan favorite
of our generation.

1250
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,520
All right, it's time to take a
look at how well this 80s flick

1251
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,200
holds up today.
It's the Rewatch the Billion

1252
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,880
Nostalgia Meter, our way of
measuring how enjoyable a movie

1253
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,000
is for repeat viewings, along
with the waves and nostalgia it

1254
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,120
brings.
Here's how it works.

1255
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:49,320
It's a one to 10 scale.
Any number between 1:00 and

1256
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,360
10:00 will do.
Here are a few parameters to

1257
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,280
help you decide that.
The bottom of the meter and #1

1258
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,080
is.
I saw it once and that was

1259
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,840
enough.
Right in the middle is A5, which

1260
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:02,440
means it's a good rewatch every
couple of years and the highly

1261
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,920
coveted Top of the Meter 10 is
highly rewatched and full of

1262
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,120
nostalgia.
So I'm going to go out of order

1263
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,680
this time and start with Chris.
Chris, where does?

1264
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,240
Clue.
Rank for you on the rewatch

1265
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,840
ability Nostalgia meter?
Well, those are two different.

1266
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:19,760
Things for me, it's hard because
it's true, you know?

1267
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,880
For me the.
Nostalgia is very high because

1268
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,920
like I said, I came through it
the way I think it got intended

1269
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:30,360
with the game first and then the
movie later, right?

1270
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:35,600
The movie second, right?
It's like reading a book 1st and

1271
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:38,600
then seeing the movie version is
really how I would like it

1272
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,680
always to play out, right?
And that's kind of what happens

1273
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,080
here.
It's like the the game in this

1274
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:48,160
case is my novel version in my
head and then I saw it for real.

1275
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:52,360
So I think on the nostalgia
meter, if I could indulge and

1276
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,440
give 2 numbers, I would.
I'd probably give it an 8IN

1277
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,880
nostalgia, but rewatch ability
may be a 5 for me.

1278
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,360
It's obviously been a while
since I've seen it.

1279
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:06,000
I did enjoy seeing it this time
obviously when I watched it back

1280
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:07,640
this week.
Certainly enjoyed it.

1281
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,840
A lot of laughs, a lot of good
funny moments that brought the

1282
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:14,800
movie back full circle for me.
But I think maybe every year or

1283
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:16,480
two would be plenty enough for
me.

1284
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:18,960
Gotcha.
What about you, Laramie?

1285
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:24,240
Yeah, this.
It's this is a tough one because

1286
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:28,880
I think nostalgia wise I agree
it's up there probably at an 8

1287
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:31,240
but in.
In rewatch.

1288
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,800
Ability, you know, the way the
way Chris is talking about I'm

1289
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,880
going yeah, but I just said I
haven't watched it in a decade,

1290
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:39,360
but I.
Also look at it.

1291
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:43,800
As it's one of those movies that
you know, and we've kind of

1292
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,680
shown that in the show, you
almost don't.

1293
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:49,120
Need to watch?
It because it sticks with you

1294
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:51,840
so.
Many of the scenes, so many.

1295
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:56,440
Of the line sticks with you so
you don't really need to rewatch

1296
01:04:56,440 --> 01:05:00,120
it, but it does have that
rewatch ability because you can

1297
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,360
just quote it and have fun with
it and all that.

1298
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,480
So I'll probably make just knock
that down just to give one

1299
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,840
number and I'll say A7, OK.
OK.

1300
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:10,560
All right, Jerry.
You're up.

1301
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:15,480
What you got so?
This is probably a nine for me.

1302
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:17,800
I knew was going to.
Because I do watch it.

1303
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:19,560
I do watch.
It a couple of times I.

1304
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:22,360
Do watch it a few.
Times a year, so it's not quite

1305
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:28,240
a 10/10 excuse me only because
there are a few slower spots.

1306
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,800
So, you know, when the cop gets
killed, like that whole

1307
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,240
interaction of just kind of him
on the phone and it's like,

1308
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,720
well, all right.
And then they they split up to

1309
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,920
like search.
It's a.

1310
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,600
Little bit slower.
Yeah, but I.

1311
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,880
Still love the movie do.
We really need to watch Tim.

1312
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:47,520
Curry cut the matches, right?
Yeah, you.

1313
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,840
Know there's so that's like
there's a couple of pacing

1314
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,880
issues though, but because I
watch it a lot I I have to give

1315
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:56,280
it a nine yeah yeah.
Yeah, I'm Jerry.

1316
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:58,680
You're going to be the.
You're the highest of all of us.

1317
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:00,520
I'm sure it's fine.
I don't want but.

1318
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,600
Yeah, but like I said this.
Isn't one that I I mean it's it

1319
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,360
has nostalgia but it's not very
high for me because it wasn't

1320
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,600
one like I said that I watched a
lot as a kid.

1321
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:12,760
I do like the game I probably
have more nostalgia for than the

1322
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:17,160
movie even though I love I think
the movie is great and rewatch

1323
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,160
ability.
I haven't watched a lot, but

1324
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:23,120
now, you know, watching it twice
in the last year, I could see

1325
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:25,680
myself watching it, you know,
every couple of years.

1326
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:27,640
So I'm kind of right there with
Laramie.

1327
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:31,320
I think around A7, maybe like a
6.5 is probably where it is for

1328
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:32,560
me.
Not that it's bad.

1329
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:34,960
It's, you know, it's a good
watch every couple of years.

1330
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:36,760
I think it, I think it
definitely falls in that

1331
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,280
category for me.
I think just because the

1332
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:42,040
nostalgia is not there for me as
it is for other people because I

1333
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,720
just didn't.
It's not one that I watched over

1334
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:47,880
and over again as a kid that has
that nostalgia.

1335
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:49,600
Nostalgia.
That's a word now.

1336
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,120
It is nostalgia for me.
It is not said it.

1337
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:53,200
It's when you say it.
It's yeah.

1338
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:55,640
And that's a word now.
So it's perfect.

1339
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,360
Word TM Yeah, there you go.
I'll.

1340
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:00,640
Put it on a T-shirt.
So let us know where you think

1341
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:04,720
clues.
It's still look this.

1342
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:07,160
Movie is still the best movie
based on a board game.

1343
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:08,920
Agreed.
Yes.

1344
01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:12,160
Yeah, agreed.
That's a very short list for a

1345
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,040
good read from for many reasons.
Looking at you, Battleship.

1346
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:16,920
Yeah, Battleship would be in
the.

1347
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,480
Top of the list of movies not to
be.

1348
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:20,480
Yeah.
Anyway.

1349
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:25,840
Oh gosh, I still like, I don't
know, PTSD from that movie, but

1350
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:28,520
like, I knew it was bad and
still wanted to watch it.

1351
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:30,720
And then once I finished
watching, I was like, you did

1352
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,920
this to yourself.
You knew it was going to be bad,

1353
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:34,640
but you made yourself what you
were getting into.

1354
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,440
Yeah, it's like look, because
we'll.

1355
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,040
Probably we'll never.
Talk about this movie.

1356
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,840
I just had to throw in the way
they finally made it connected

1357
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:46,400
to the game where they were
like, we can't see them.

1358
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:48,960
We'll just lay out a grid and
they lay out a grid.

1359
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:54,440
All right, a two hit.
All right.

1360
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:56,000
Well, let us know.
Yeah.

1361
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:58,360
Wasn't Liam Neeson in that movie
too?

1362
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:00,880
I think.
Yes, yes, yes.

1363
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,400
Yes, and it was another one.
Of those where they tried to

1364
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,320
throw that Taylor Kitsch guy
down our throat, Yeah, yeah,

1365
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:07,360
that was another one of those
two.

1366
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:08,880
Like stop trying to make it
happen.

1367
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:09,840
He's not going to happen.
Yeah.

1368
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:13,240
He's such a good actor.
He just could not get the part

1369
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:14,000
right for him.
Yeah.

1370
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,279
Yeah, look, he was fine on
Friday night.

1371
01:08:16,279 --> 01:08:19,279
Lights do not even make an
action star he was great on.

1372
01:08:19,279 --> 01:08:21,920
Friday Night Lights you.
Didn't like it was Gambit, did

1373
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,680
John Carter?
I mean, I was look, I.

1374
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:26,960
Was so I.
Know we're getting off track

1375
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,240
here I was so excited to see
John Carter.

1376
01:08:29,319 --> 01:08:31,840
I fell asleep like 15 minutes
into that movie.

1377
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,880
I didn't fall asleep, but I.
Definitely picked up my phone.

1378
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,920
Picked it up in the theater,
like, yeah, you busy?

1379
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:41,240
I didn't see it in the theater,
right?

1380
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,240
Yeah, but I was like, all right,
what else?

1381
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:47,200
Yeah, I think.
Yeah, I don't even think I read

1382
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:48,520
it.
I think I saw when it came on

1383
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:54,240
whatever cable pay, pay, pay
cable channel was on and I don't

1384
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:56,240
think I ever finished it.
Of course you did.

1385
01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:00,040
I mean in.
In 3D, because I had the 3D

1386
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,880
television with the 3D Blu-ray
player.

1387
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:06,200
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Glutton for punishment, yeah.

1388
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:10,200
Well, I also own Battleship so.
I think.

1389
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,160
I own.
Every Taylor Kitsch movie so.

1390
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,560
Every time you're you, you.

to have in my collection.

Blockbuster.
Those previously viewed movies

1398
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:38,880
were so tempting.
Oh yeah.

1399
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,800
So yeah, yeah, I know it's bad,
but it's only two.

Oh yeah, Robot.
Small wonder.

1417
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,840
A Rock'n'roll Christmas from
starring Dennis Miller, which is

1418
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:29,120
one of the most interesting
things I've ever watched, I

1419
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:30,240
think.
Remote control is.

1420
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:33,080
Coming up this month, it might
be early next month, but OK,

1421
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:35,160
yeah.
And the facts of life.

1422
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:38,200
We got a Facts of Life episode
as well, so take the good you

1423
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:38,920
take the.
Bad.

1424
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,320
You take them both and there you
have the exactly.

1425
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:42,160

Yep.

1426
01:10:42,480 --> 01:10:44,360
So that's, that's what's coming
up.

1427
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:49,560
And then October, I usually do a
Halloween movie or Halloween

1428
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:53,240
episode and a Christmas episode.
Awesome.

1429
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:55,760
And I kind of know what that
Halloween episodes going to be

1430
01:10:55,760 --> 01:11:00,160
and I'm excited about it.
So yeah, yeah, that one was

1431
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:01,000
good.
It was fun.

1432
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:02,840
Yeah.
All right.

1433
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:06,000
So doubly check out Totally Rad
Christmas if it's 80s in the

1434
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:09,160
Christmas, if it's if it's Rad
in the 80s, he's got it covered.

1435
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:10,760
I always mess that up for some
reason.

1436
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,000
No worries.
And And Laramie, what's going on

1437
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,240
over moving panels for
September?

1438
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,560
Well, of course, September.
Is when we kick off our new

1439
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,080
year.
So we're we're starting things

1440
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,400
off.
I wanted to do 2 things that I

1441
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,920
was not familiar with.
So we kicked off the month with

1442
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:31,080
Blue Beetle because I had never
seen Blue Beetle until I I did

1443
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:34,200
that episode.
And then later in the month,

1444
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:37,400
we're going to do Paper Girls,
the series that I'm sure a lot

1445
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:42,480
of people don't even know
existed on, on Amazon Prime that

1446
01:11:42,480 --> 01:11:45,480
was released a few years ago.
But.

1447
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:49,240
Going to do that?
And then over on our Side

King's birthday is in the month

1450
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,640
