C (4:24)

You can.

B (4:24)

You can just go check it out. You can get it as a sticker, which I have done. And now put on a water bottle. Yeah, I'm wearing my own merch. Or I guess I'm just repping my own merch, which is okay. My son did go to school in a dark web shirt for Pajama day. I didn't have any part in that, but I was proud. People, how did this get made? Is going to be in New York and Philly on November 7th and 8th. New York is almost sold out so we just added a brand new date. That's right. On November 6th, Dinosaur Improv is coming to Town Hall. Same location, special guests. We got the best of the best in New York. Edie Patterson, Mary Holland, Danielle Schneider, Rob Huebel, me and Jason. So much good stuff. Every show is completely different. So come see us in Boston, D.C. philly, New York, two nights in a row. Just go to hdtgm.com and check us out or see us here in Los Angeles at the end of the month. We are doing some live shows at Largo Dinosaur. And two, how did this get Maids where a good friend Nick Kroll is joining us as a very special guest. I also want to say keep the prayers, keep the goodwill, keep the good thoughts going for Avril Halle. If you want to send her any sort of just good wishes, you can do it by snail mail at andrewoviebitchesxyz or at Avrilhalli, P.O. box 641, Agora Hills, CA 91376. People, you had thoughts, you had questions. And now I try my best to give them answers. And a little section we like to call Corrections and Omissions. Marty Iglesias hit that theme.

D (6:13)

Omissions.

B (6:17)

Corrections and Omissions. Corrections.

D (6:25)

Corrections.

B (6:34)

All right, lizard breath, was anyone else bothered by the 2 liter bottle of Slice that Laura Dern had hooked to her backpack? Now Scott did include a picture of this. This is true. There is a 2 liter bottle of Slice just conn like almost like on a. Like a hook. Anyway, why wasn't it in a cooler? Warm orange soda doesn't sound refreshing after a long hike. Now Scott wants to point out it is not a bottle of Slice. It is a bottle of Orange Crush. So lizard breath, you've been debunked. Everything you say now it doesn't make a difference cause you were wrong. Wrong. Orange soda. By the way, if there's any hot soda to have, orange would be my favorite, I think. How about you? What do you think? Come find me online. Let's talk about it. MickG3D writes in the beginning stock footage you can see a guy surfing on a moving motorcycle in one of the overhead shots. I was so confused. Whoa, hold on one second. I didn't even see that. Good thing our eagle eyed producer Scott saw it. Pulled a clip. I watched it and yes you are indeed right. There is a man doing a motorcycle stunt. He is standing on a moving motorcycle. I this movie is absolutely amazing. It continues to confound me. If you've not read Brian Rafferty's article in the Ringer, you should definitely check it out. I was talking to him this week and, you know, give him those clicks because he goes way into the Deep Grizzly 2 lore. I don't think he gets to the bottom of the guy doing a motorcycle stunt, but, man, stock footage. It happens to the best of us. The Shining and Blade Runner, right? They use the same stock footage. I forgot who did what. Sean McBee writes, not only did we not ever see the bear actually hit the electric fence. Whoa, Sean, too many knots in that sentence, okay? But the footage of it being fried is literally cropped and saturated. Footage of the shark dying in Jaws, too. Wait, what? Again, you have to be on the Discord because all of this is in the discord in its beautiful glory. I can see the scene from Jaws 2 and Grizzly and yeah, it's the same shot. Whoa. How did they get that footage? Where are they getting all this footage from? I mean, did they steal that just from a Universal movie? Jaws 2 is still a popular. You know, that's like a. That's a Universal special. That's not like a company going bankrupt. Man, oh, man, I love it. Pete the S man writes. Can we talk about Bouchard saying how he and his family killed 25 bears and one day night? That's a massacre. First of all, are there even that many bears in one central location? And think of the travesty in all the blood that they left behind, let alone wiping out an entire species in an area. Wow, you guys did the thing that we didn't do this week, which is really talk about the movie. And I gotta tell you, that did stick out to me. The next omission is actually from AV Club writer Will Harris. Now he reached out to me saying that he interviewed John Rhys Davies back in 2012 and he asked him about Grizzly 2. Here are a couple of quotes from Will's interview. This is John Rhys Davies talking about his character Bouchard. I thought it was a rather good performance that I gave. I don't know why I put that accent on it, but I'm going to continue to do that. And this is John commenting on Steve Inwood, who played chief park ranger. John said, poor fellow. He was very handsome, very strong, but he had one or two problems. And I guess coming off the near superstardom of Staying Alive, it made him perhaps overvalue his contribution a little bit. And the whole thing was a real eye opener. Sometimes you learn more from the films that aren't terribly successful. And indeed, sometimes you learn more from the real disasters than you do from the ones that succeed. Sliders forever. I just added the sliders forever. Thank you, Will Harris. I love Will. Will is a friend of the pod. Check out his writing wherever. You like pop culture, you like film, you like Will Harris. Dig back into his AV club and also just see what he's up to. He's a good read. All right, let's go to the phones. Josh, what do you got?

E (11:08)

Hey, Paul, my name is Josh. I just thought you'd like to know something interesting. Following Grizzly 2, Damon Carvey and David Spade have a podcast called Fly on the Wall. And they just had a brand new episode with Charlie Sheen in which he says that Grizzly 2 was his first acting paycheck and he received $6,000, $2,000 a week. So he received three weeks of pay and immediately cashed the check, went into a store and bought two, in his words, fancy camping vests, one, two in. In different colors. And he said it was the first time that he actually felt like a big shot. So I thought you might find that interesting for your last books episode. I love the show and please keep going. I listen to your podcast and then I watch the movies and it really keeps me going. So thank you so much. Bye.

B (12:15)

Josh, you're the best. You're the best. I love. Thank you for your message. First of all, I will admit that when he first started, I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we know Karate Kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then you pulled in this other fact, this fact that no one knew about these camping vests. These camping vests that I guess each cost $3,000. I mean, maybe like 2,800 and tax kind of put it over the edge.

D (12:43)

Wow.

B (12:43)

Blew my mind. I love that fact. I love the fact that Charlie Sheen remembers that. And I think it's like one of those things that you remember those purchases when you first get money. Like, for me, it was a fold out couch because, I mean, I was living in a studio and I thought that was real upgrade. I guess I should have moved to a bigger apartment, but I remember spending a thousand dollars on a fold out couch. I was like, yeah, this is it. And then I also remember when I got a little bit more money that I bought another couch at Crate and Barrel, because at that point in my life, couches were the things I was spending the most money on. I was like, whoa, a thousand dollars. Like, how could I ever. I mean, rent, obviously, but wow, I love that fact. Josh, you are great. That Charlie Sheen documentary is fascinating. Or as fascinating as it could be when you pay for a documentary to be made about yourself. Here's what I'll say. A lot of A lot of talk has been around the monologue that Sam Rockwell gave in White Lotus I love is the fucking best. Huge heart, great actor, super funny guy. I thought that Charlie Sheen's monologue about the other side of the menu hit a little harder than Sam Rockwell's monologue in White Lotus. So what I'm really asking for here is can Sam Rockwell bring that character back to just do the monologue from Charlie Sheen's doc? I would love to see it. Thank you, Josh, for that call. Next up, Kelly. What do you got?

F (14:24)

Hey there, this is Kelly. I'm still honestly feeling a little disoriented from Grizzly 2, but I did want to bring up something for corrections and omissions because it didn't make the pot. And that was the wonderful Louise Fletcher, who you all correctly identified as Nurse Ratched and also played the terrifying grandmother in the 1980s adaptation of Flowers in the Attic. Very big for people my age, but then had a much larger role as Kai Winn, one of the major enduring villains of Star Deep Space Nine. Probably hearing from a lot of Trekkies this week. I was sorry we didn't get to see more of her in Grizzly 2, but seeing as how she got more screen time than George Clooney, Laura Linney and Charlie Sheen, I guess she did well. The crazy thing though is that this movie had yet another Deep Space Nine connection. One of the poachers was actually played by Mark Alaimo, who played Gul Dukat, arguably the other major villain of Deep Space Nine, who, sorry for the 30 year old spoiler, actually teams up with Kai Winn for the end of the series. So it was truly bonkers to see Louise Fletcher and Mark Alaimo in a project together, even though their characters never meet, like 10 years before they won the same Star Trek. I really wonder if they ever talked about Grizzly 2 on the set of Deep Space Nine, or if it was something they both maybe buried in the past since it never came out. Anyway, anyway, thank you. I love the podcast so much. I'm hoping to see Dinosaur in dc. Oh, and I'd really like to nominate Julia Garner for G Squad.

D (16:01)

Bye.

F (16:02)

Thank you.

B (16:02)

Kelly. Oh my gosh. First of all, these messages are warming my heart. Kelly. I'm a nerd. I'm a Star Trek nerd. You don't got to Tell me. You don't got to tell me twice. But, you know, you probably do need to tell me twice, because I didn't recognize Louise Fletcher. I know that name now that I'm looking at it. I mean, gold ducat, 100%. Of course I know gold ducat. And now you put it all together. So even me, a Deep Space Nine junkie. I love Deep Space nine, especially the later seasons. So good, great pull. And I'm going to guarantee 100%, yes. These people talked about their experience on Grizzly 2 because it is a bond. A bond. When you work with somebody on a movie or a TV show that's so fucked up, it is forever. The thing that connects you, it is. This is. I'm sure. I wish they would have hosted a podcast about it. They should have. Get them on a podcast. Let's get them doing a Grizzly 2 recap podcast. Let's make it happen. All right, coming up, we have a quick break and then more corrections and omissions because they're so damn good. Plus, Jason and I are going to chat about Halloween and we're going to reveal next week's movie. Stick around. This podcast is brought to you by Squarespace.

Rules and restrictions apply. Okay, welcome back. Since our last caller, Kelly talked a little bit about Julia Garner being in Geek Squad. Now, I didn't address that initially because now we're going to get into it. Okay, we're not going to talk about Grizzly 2 anymore. We are going to just respond to corrections and omissions solely related to the Geek Squad. And Kelly, your message was awesome. It meant the world to me. But guess what? Julia Garner, not in Geek Squad. No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't know why it's my gut feeling that she should not be in Geek Squad, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Let's see what other people say. Emily from France.

F (20:36)

Hi, Paul and Jason. This is Emily from France and I'm calling regarding the last chat you had with Jake Johnson. Just to tell you that in France the G Squad is actually a boy band. When you guys had Backstreet Boys and NSync, we had G Squad written G S, Q A deep. You should check it out there something. Thanks for all the great content. Love you guys.

B (21:10)

Well, of course Emily is right. I love an international call. Thank you, Emily, for calling us. And G Squad does look like our Geek Squad. I like it. So I guess essentially by laying down the law that there is a G Squad, then we have to call it Geek Squad. No more G Squad. It is Geek Squad. We do not want any confusion with French boy bands. Okay, now we're gonna go to the Discord for a second because Bolo Nomadic writes, Nick Holt is like 15 years older than Timothy and Austin. He has been famous for like 25 years. He can't be in the Geek Squad and Bolo Nomadic. I agree, I agree. I don't know why. You know, maybe I had Superman on the brain. You know, we all know that. As Scott points out that Nicholas Hoult's big break was back in 2002's About a Boy. He played the boy against Hugh Grant. Great movie. I big fan of that writer Nick Hornby, who has a great substack as well. But I agree. All right. Holt is out, Garner is out. Icoop says, the only thing that bothers me is that so much of the Geek Squad aren't in movies together the way the brat or frat packs were. We need a modern day Breakfast Club or St. Elmo's Fire. Well, Coop, that is a fair point. And we got a call that suggests maybe there is a movie that contains most of the Geek Squad after all. Drew from Atlanta, what do you got?

E (22:42)

Hey, Paul. Wanted to call about last week's episode where y' all talked about the pitch for Geek Squad. I thought a possible good template for who is in the Geek Squad is the Manson family. Kids from one upon a time in Hollywood. Those kids all went on to have great success and you mentioned a lot of them during your show. There was Austin Butler, Mikey Madsen, Maya Hawkes, Sydney Sweeney, Margaret Qualley, just to name a few, or even a couple that you dismissed, like Dakota Fanning. But she doesn't need to be in there. I'm sure she would understand, love the show and appreciate everything you do to brighten up my week every week. Would love for you all to come out to Atlanta for a tour. I don't believe y' all have ever been there before, but I would be first in line. Thanks again and take care.

B (23:27)

Okay. Wow. Drew. Laying it down. Drew, we want to come to Atlanta. We've asked to come to Atlanta. I don't know why we haven't. That's not. That's odd. I ask about it all the time. Maybe it's just about where we're going and how long we're on tour for. We will get there eventually. We'll get there. All right, but let's get into what the main point of this is, Drew. Okay. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Austin Butler, Mikey Madison, Maya Hawke, Sydney Sweeney, Margot Qualley, Dakota Fanning, all in that movie right now, we've already talked about getting some of these people in and out of here, but this is what I'm going to say. Mikey Madison, I've been on the fence. I don't think that she is worthy of Geek Squad yet. Anora. Awesome performance. Once my time in Hollywood, great performance, but I think we need at least three or four performances to get in that squad. That's what I'm saying. Three or four big performances. Maya Hawk, I think, falls in that same category. All right. Dakota Fanning. I was on. I was there. I was there. You know, people talked me out of Dakota Fanning. I thought she was a little too old. I don't know. I mean, Mikey Madison has been one that has come up. But if we're talking about the movie, then I have to put Mikey and Maya in again. This is not fully up to me. I have to take it to council. By the way, June has a lot of opinions on Geek Squad. Now, here's the question, though, is what's my time in Hollywood? The only kind of Geek Squad movie? Well, guess what? There is another. That's right. There's two. Just like, you know, that movie Star Wars. Let's hear from Kate from Mississippi to find out what Kate has to say.

F (25:20)

Hey, this is Kate driving to a concert in Memphis, which I'm late for.

B (25:26)

But loved every single bit of the Grizzly 2 episode.

F (25:30)

But the entire time you were talking about this, I wanted to scream, Sophie Thatcher. Sophie Thatcher's Geek Squad. We also have the other Nepo baby along with Quality Quaid in there. And then what's the other guy's name? Basically, the cast of Companion. Lucas Gage, I think, But Sophie Thatcher.

E (25:51)

100% Geek Squad.

F (25:53)

Just wanted to throw that out there. Thanks, y'.

E (25:54)

All.

D (25:55)

Great episode.

F (25:56)

Talk about this shit all the time.

E (25:57)

Thanks, y'.

B (25:58)

All. Yes, Kate. The cast of Companion are all Geek Squad. Sophie Thatcher, Jack Quaid, Lucas Gage. Love Jack. Let's put him in Geek Squad. Lucas Gage. Interesting. Sophie Thatcher. I like this, too. I'm liking what we're pulling together here. Okay. We're building the Geek Squad together. We're going out of the box a little bit. All right, Kate, thank you for that message. Everybody's message, really. This has been one of the most heartwarming. I'm so into the corrections and Omissions. I'm not actually taking in all the emotional feedback I'm getting here. It is making my day. You are all the absolute best. I'm coming at you with a lot of love, and you are coming at me with love. And that's the way it works. You get back what you give. All right, but here we go. Kate has a hot take. Hi, Paul.

A (26:47)

Longtime listener, first time caller. As a woman who is older than any of this Geek Squad, but definitely still younger than Jason, I loved the last episode, and I have a few observations about people who should be in the Geek Squad. First, Sabrina Carpenter is definitely Geek Squad. She was on the Disney Channel, and she did that, like, Netflix Christmas whatever thing. And so I think she counts. I couldn't believe it took you so long to say Paul Mezcal. I was literally strolling through Central park shouting, Paul Mezcal.

C (27:20)

And, like, waving.

A (27:21)

I'm doing jazz hands.

E (27:22)

You can't see it.

A (27:23)

As soon as you started talking about the tiny mustaches. And also, I think Daisy Edgar Jones probably counts. And what's his face from the movie with Jacob Elordi, who dated Sabrina Carpenter Very. I don't know.

F (27:38)

I can't remember.

A (27:39)

Anyway, I loved it. I think you should do more of that nonsense. It was an absolute hoot, and I was laughing the whole time. And so also, on a maybe, like, a little bit more serious note, I just wanted to tell you that, like, last year, I was struggling really bad with depression on top of my, you know, persistent adhd. It got so bad, honestly, that I could hardly get out of bed. And one day I went to run an errand and I put on the Little Italy episode of the show. And I ended up walking all day and listening to a bunch of episodes and just, like, wandering around New York totally mindlessly and aimlessly. And so I kind of was able to get myself to do that for a full week, and it was enough to, like, like, get me to take.

F (28:27)

A step and go see the right.

A (28:28)

Kind of doctor and start to, like, deal with whatever it was that was going on. And I really love the nonsense that you guys are doing. It brings so much joy to my life. Keep doing it, please. That's all. And I hope you have a wonderful weekend and week.

B (28:44)

Bye, Sabrina Carpenter. I don't want to put her in Geek Squad. I don't want to put her in Geek Squad because, you know, it just feels like it's off center. It feels like that's why we were talking about Taylor Swift out of Geek. I get it. I get why you want her in there. I don't feel like it works. Barry Keoghan. Feel like it works now. Am I messing up my age thing? I might be Daisy Edgar Jones. Yeah. You could twist my arm. My castmate from Twisters. You could twist my arm to Daisy Edgar Jones. I think that she could do it. But Sabrina Carpenter, I'm drawing that line because she's a different type of entertainer. And now she comes back to acting. Then it's open doors open again. If she pulls like a smashing machine kind of Safdie brothers team up. I'm gonna open up the door to Geek Squad tour. And I gotta say, Kate, just when I go out there and I say, oh my gosh, these messages, they've meant the world to me. You come in and you up it even more. I'm so happy to hear that. I'm happy that you are doing great and thank you for sharing that and thank you for also sharing three solid choices. You're the best. And hopefully we'll have some good live shows coming up that will make for some good walking around New York listening in the future. But that means a lot to me, Jason and June. But we still have business at hand. Okay. Because before we wrap up the Geek Squad, I want to acknowledge that, yes, Jason Mantzoukas, Jake Johnson and I, we are middle aged men. We aren't the best arbiters of who is Geek Squad. I mean, that's what people tell us, right? So to provide a more youthful perspective, here is our how did this get made Intern, an official Gen Z correspondent, Quinn Jennings. Quinn, take it away.

G (30:41)

Hello, this is Quinn, the official Gen Z representative for how did this get made? I heard there were a lot of takes about the Geek Squad and I have some opinions. I definitely think Timothee Chalamet and Jenna Ortega are in the Geek Squad. No question. I know Jeremy Allen White was kicked out at the end, but I'm gonna throw him back in there because even though he's been around for a while, he is currently in conversation with these young actors. He is a Hulu show. He is a biopic. Like he's really doing it. I'm gonna boot Austin Butler, Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley and Sydney Sweeney. I really don't think any of them have the edge to be in Geek Squad. Between some Nepo baby status and some denim commercials, I really don't think any of them. The four of them have charmed me enough to be in Geek Squad. I would add Zendaya Rachel Sennott, Iowa. Debery. Rachel Zegler. I think Barry Keoghan could be, like, the controversial Geek Squad member. Lucas Gage, I think, is another person that really is just everywhere and would kind of vibe with these people. And I'm gonna replace Nicholas Hoult with Harris Dickinson. Nicholas Hoult has been around for a while. Harris Dickinson has been in movies with these people, and people get Nicholas Hoult and Harris Dickinson confused anyway, so as long as you have one of them in there, doesn't really matter which one. I'm gonna say Harris Dickinson. So those have been my Geek Squad takes. Bye.

B (32:26)

Okay, Quinn's laying it down back in. Jeremy Allen White and Zendaya. I was always Zendaya on this. Kicking out Austin Butler. Okay, I think we're done with him kicking out Jacob Elordi. Interesting. Margaret Qualley out. Sydney Sweeney out. New pitches. Rachel Sennett. Ayo. Rachel Ziegler. Barry Keoghan. Lucas Gage. Nick Holt out. Harris Dickinson in. I gotta say, Quinn, you are not coached. You are not told to do anything. But when we went to you and said you need to help us, I think you laid it down in the best way possible. I am happy with this with the exception of Jeremy Allen White, who I do feel like is still too old. But you know what? I'm not gonna question you because that isn't my job. I'm going to accept the youth culture has spoken. Listen to the microphone she has. She's not calling in on some phone lines. Got a microphone hooked up there. Wow, wow, wow. So many great corrections and omissions this week. But you know what? Instead of picking a winner, I'm going to say you're all winners this week, you are all winners. So if you're Kate, if you're the other Kate, if you're Drew, if you're Coop, if you're Bolo, Nomadic, if you're Emily, if you're Kelly or you're Josh, guess what? This week, you won and you get this theme. Congratulations. You are the winner. Do you win a T shirt or a free dinner? Some movie tickets? A soundtrack cd? No, you just win this stupid song from me. Thank you, Scarecrow. That was awesome. I love that. Wow. What an episode. This is a big one. All right, now, if you want to chime in with your own thoughts about the latest episode, hit up our Discord or leave us a message at 619p a u l a s k. All right, coming up, after one final break, Jason stops by for just chat and I will announce our next movie.

B (37:53)

Here we are in October. I didn't tell you this, but we bought a 12 foot skeleton.

D (37:58)

Oh, you didn't tell me. I'm thrilled. You know what? And I'm glad you're telling me face.

B (38:03)

To face, you know, because here's the thing. This is June's idea, not mine. Yes. And here's where it gets even better. This is June's idea that she concocted with our two other neighbors. So we've each bought 12 foot skeletons.

D (38:20)

Okay.

B (38:21)

So no.

D (38:22)

Do they tell a story?

B (38:23)

Well, that's what we thought they could do, but they are not as poseable as we thought. So now we just have.

D (38:30)

Do they move at all or.

B (38:31)

No, they move a little bit. They move a little like we were trying to do. See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil. Smart. We're going to play with it some more. But the rigging of it was a lot harder. I mean, they are 12 foot skeletons. They are 12 foot skeletons. And oddly, 12 foot seems small when you stand next to it. I guess you don't understand what 12 foot?

D (38:56)

Well, it's different for you because you're seven feet tall.

B (38:58)

Well, I mean, that's always a big problem. You know, I did this thing with Shaquille o' Neal and I, I stood next to him and I was like up to his armpit. It was really. I. I haven't felt like a child like that.

D (39:08)

That would be strange. Well, anytime I feel like our friend Tall John, anytime I'm around Tall John, who I think is six, seven or six, nine maybe, I am genuinely like, wow, this is wild. Greg Davis from Taskmaster is like in a different atmosphere.

B (39:24)

Oh, really? See, I'd never really. Because he's sitting down a lot. I don't.

D (39:27)

Oh, yeah, 12. When you get. Get footage of him standing and he then is standing next to someone, you're like, oh, holy cow. He is a. He's a frost giant.

B (39:36)

Well, now, so we are the 12 foot skeleton. I will, I will keep on giving you some updates, but this is where we're at doing bits. And by the way, we had to get this thing delivered from Home Depot. It came on a truck and it was big and it was like, did.

D (39:51)

They set it up? Is it that like.

B (39:53)

No, no, no. It is. It is.

D (39:55)

It's not. Is it inflatable? No, no, this is. This is like, so, okay, so how does it not like. Like, how does it not blow over, topple over?

B (40:03)

You are attaching it to a frame that is very. That is a big metal frame that needs to be bolted into the ground like you are protecting. There's a house down the block for me. And this is where we got the idea originally was that it's a lone skeleton, and then someone across the street put another one, and we're like, oh, this is funny. Like, we should have more skeleton representation.

D (40:26)

Yeah.

B (40:27)

And. But the person down the block, their skeleton's always falling over, and it looks like a real nightmare. Yeah. That seems sad.

D (40:34)

Has there ever been a movie where people's Halloween lawn decorations come to life and attack?

B (40:41)

I mean, it feels like.

D (40:43)

That feels like, right. That feels like a horror movie franchise play, which is all the. All the 12 foot skeletons and the. The giant Nightmare Before Christmas is. What's that guy's name?

B (40:55)

Oh, yeah. Jack Skellington.

D (40:56)

Yes, Skellington. There's a couple of big giant Jack Skellingtons in my neighborhood. All of them, they just come to life with the souls of the damned, I'm assuming.

B (41:05)

I mean, this is a great animated film, and I think if you don't pitch this immediately, you're a fool.

D (41:10)

Should we cut this out of the episode?

B (41:12)

Should I just sell this? Honestly, you should.

D (41:15)

Oh, wait a second. Scott is showing us something that seems like this might exist.

B (41:19)

The Curse of Bridge Hollow. It's a. It looks like a Marlon Waynes film. It's a Netflix family friendly horror comedy where Halloween decorations come to life. There we go. All right. Well, Marlon Wayans did it.

D (41:30)

They did it. You got me Marlon Wayans. Great.

B (41:32)

I'm gonna go watch that, though.

D (41:33)

Curse of Bridge Hollow. I mean, let's see how it is.

B (41:36)

Wait a second. Riggle might be in this. Scott, can you continue to see if Riggle's in this? Because I. I believe I've seen.

D (41:42)

If Riggle is in this, we need to get him on the podcast to talk about it.

B (41:45)

Wait, that's his picture right at the top right there. Wow. He is in it because I've seen him wear a shirt that says Bridge Hollow.

D (41:52)

Gotta get him to come on and talk about it.

B (41:54)

Just.

D (41:54)

If he wants to, obviously. I'm so curious.

B (41:57)

No, I can't wait.

D (41:58)

Okay, now here's my pitch. Maybe that's our way in.

B (42:01)

Right?

D (42:02)

And this is having not seen the movie at all. So maybe Wriggle dies at the end of the movie. Maybe we. The sequel. We. That's our in is. We know. Riggle.

B (42:11)

The Bridge. The Bridge Hollow universe. We build it out. We build it into a bigger. Oh, man, I am. I am excited. I'm excited about the problem. And, you know, and I think, forgive me if we did talk about this on the show, but it's worth repeating that we pranked people last year with a tall Will Ferrell elf. Tall John Coolop and myself bought these. Seven foot tall. Or I guess I should say life size Will Ferrell as Buddy the elf, animatronic. And then. And then left them on people's doorsteps. And. And one was.

D (42:55)

Wait, did you do it to Hubel?

B (42:56)

Yes.

D (42:57)

Hubel was received. Like, I remember this.

B (42:59)

Yeah, Hubel was great because we. We put it on his doorstep, and he sent us the ring footage, which is up on my Instagram page. I can repost it here on the. How did this get me, too. Where you hear him go? What the. As soon as he sees the thing.

D (43:16)

How did you avoid getting caught in the ring footage?

B (43:18)

Okay, well, Jason, now you're gonna get into some details. So, Coolop, Tall John and I bought LED masks that were holiday themed. We put them over so they would have, like. Ours had images of snowmen and Santa Claus and they were playing music, so. And then we were. Your faces were obscure and we were wearing hoodies. Great Christmas hoodies tied down tight. And what we did was we did some prep work. We got the buddy all ready. We parked a house away past Huebel's security cameras and then lifted it, ran onto his property, put the thing down, rang the doorbell, and then got out.

D (44:01)

Oh, I see. Okay.

B (44:02)

Got it. And then we were so excited to see how it was received that we just hung around for too long until Rob did catch us now.

D (44:11)

Oh, he caught you? Oh, I haven't heard this. That's great.

B (44:14)

He caught us in the. Well, he caught us. Cause he came out, he's like, hey, hey.

D (44:17)

And then.

B (44:18)

Holy shit. And then we did it to Jack, and we got a little bit cockier with Jack because we were like, this will be funny, but we really need to. What we didn't do with the buddy.

D (44:29)

At Hughes house, by the way. Thank you for not doing this to me.

B (44:32)

I appreciate that 100%. We understand where we're going with these things. And so we did it with Jack. And the way that we thought it would be funny was the Huble one worked. But what if we could plug it into power. That was the thing that we were missing from the Hubel one. So we bought a very long extension cord, like 100 foot extension cord or something big like that. And we had it all ready. Then we ran up to Jack's house and then we couldn't find an outlet. And we were up in the bushes. We were in the thing and, and in the middle of us doing that, I guess he was alerted by his security camera.

D (45:09)

Oh my God.

B (45:10)

And started texting.

D (45:11)

I mean, good that everybody's things are working.

B (45:13)

Yes. And started texting us like, what are you doing?

D (45:16)

Oh my God.

B (45:17)

To tall John. Because Tall John is hard.

D (45:20)

That's a giveaway.

B (45:21)

Yeah. So. And. And he didn't know what to make of it. But we spent. Once we knew he wasn't home, then we were like on his lawn and we positioned lights to like kind of illuminate Buddy and, and have him stand there.

D (45:35)

I think the move would be to just travel like bring a generator, drop a generator and the buddy and walk away, you know?

B (45:41)

And I think you are right about that. And that's probably where we will go. We've been looking at Home Depot already. There's just interesting like, like you guys.

D (45:50)

Wheeling a gas powered generator onto someone's front lawn.

B (45:53)

We gotta do it for the elf pranks. And here's the thing that was interesting. I had seen this elf like maybe at the end of November. And I sent it to Coolop and I said we should put this on someone's lawn. And she's like, Hubel. And I was like, great, great. But it was expensive. It was like 120 bucks. And after this happened right before. Maybe it happened before Christmas. Yeah, right before Christmas. The prices come on dropping and dropping and dropping. So we did get this first buddy for 60 bucks. And then the Jack one was way after Christmas and we found one Home Depot and it was very far away, like in Carson. And we had to drive there and we got that one for $45. Okay.

D (46:35)

Oh my God.

B (46:36)

So we are, we are collecting.

D (46:38)

It would be great. And I. Maybe the Buddy or the. If you were to. What would be fun is if maybe with the inflatable ones. Yeah, you could get an inflatable one. If you could get an inflatable one to be looking in the window of someone's second story.

B (46:53)

Oh, you know what?

G (46:54)

I.

D (46:56)

If you could bring it up so that when they wake up on the second floor there is just a big snowman looking in at them. Now that is very funny.

B (47:05)

Look, Jason, you may again. You've pitched a great animated film. You've now pitched a great continuation.

D (47:11)

I'm just looking it up now. Damon Wayans Jr. Town. Oh, man, the Wayans are. Have this space covered.

B (47:20)

They are the original Halloween pranksters. I will tell you one thing, not that this is totally fine for you, but the other night my kids were like, I wanna watch something funny. I wanna watch something funny. And they're like, let's watch Airplane. And I said, well, you know what? Maybe we should watch a scary movie. Cause I think it's Halloween time.

D (47:37)

Have they seen Airplane?

B (47:39)

They have a while ago. But I also know how Airplane works. And it's the same way I feel about Naked Gun. It's a little too old. It's a little too old for them in the sense of they're not getting why it's super funny. Like they'll get the bigger jokes and you know, not that I've shown them Naked Gun, but I'm very careful. And man, oh man, I. That scary movie, the first one, I was like, that one's a funny one. It's so dirty. We had to turn it off immediately. Oh, it was so like just Carmen Electra, like literally.

D (48:09)

I'm trying to remember that movie, which I haven't seen probably since it came.

B (48:14)

Out, by the way. I'm not saying it wasn't funny. It was very funny. It just was like so grossly inappropriate. I was like, oh, I almost blanched at how, how much it was. But you know, it did open up with a great joke, which is. Is, you know, she gets the phone call from the guy in the scream mask and immediately makes a little fart and he goes, what's that? And she's like, oh, I just farted. Classic.

D (48:37)

Classic.

B (48:38)

It's just a nice thrown away line.

D (48:40)

That is really give me that all day, every day, you know.

B (48:43)

Also at Universal Studios, Jason, they are, they have an option this year at their horror mazes as a Wet or dry. Oh, no. Yeah. Oh, God.

D (48:52)

No.

B (48:53)

Wet or dry. What?

D (48:55)

Dry. Like what is the. Like, like a rub? Like, like, like a barbec.

B (49:01)

You, you get to pick how you would like to experience your horror maze.

D (49:05)

The idea, listen to me. The idea of being at Universal Studios for Universal Horror Nights and being wet is pure misery. Pure misery.

B (49:18)

Look, I have been there many times and I, I will recommend to everybody, you have to go to the. This one haunted house that out. That's out here in Calabasas. It's amazing. It's the biggest haunted house. This type in big haunted house la. But when I've gone to that universal one, they give you the smells of poop, which is a new invention. So you walk through like these things and you. You're smelling poop. And then, then they'll do these little things, like, where it's like a guy like going, my baby, my baby. And then he turns the baby to you, and then the baby, like, pretends to pee on you. But it's like water. So it's so you. Like. So it is like when you are getting wet, it's not just like blood, it's like. It's pee. No. And then. Yeah. So you really.

D (50:01)

And what is that? Even though that's not urine, it's just water. But that if that dull water gets in my mouth or my eyes.

B (50:08)

No, it's. I'm just like.

D (50:10)

The rest of the night I'm like, oh, great, now I have like pink eye. Or great, now I've got some other situation.

B (50:15)

It doesn't feel healthy. It doesn't feel good.

D (50:19)

That's how I feel about. What's the technology called? The tech. I'm calling it technology called where you. In the movie theaters where it sprays you with water or rocks the seed or.

B (50:27)

Yeah, the 40x they are. Yes, yes. Yeah. You can turn off the water effects, but.

D (50:32)

Oh, you can. Okay. Because one time I did it, it had water on it and I was like, never again will I ever do this.

B (50:38)

That the water effects on that are. Are tricky because that's the way.

D (50:44)

You're not going to convince me that teenagers aren't pissing in the. In the water can.

B (50:50)

It doesn't feel to me like that water is filtered in any way. It doesn't feel like, like, look, there's a. I can buy that. If I'm going on the Jurassic park ride at Universal Studios and I'm going down that waterfall, the water's being circulated. There's something going on. Right. You can't piss in all that. It's not probably the cleanest water. Sure, sure. You know, but there's something happening. I don't know what's going on. I don't know. I don't know what's going on in these movie theaters.

D (51:14)

We gotta be careful. We can't just be letting random water into our mouths and eyes.

B (51:18)

No, no. And not. Not in a moment of shock. I mean, no, I don't want that.

D (51:23)

Yeah, exactly. Not in a moment of shock. You're never more open and vulnerable to rogue water droplets.

B (51:29)

Well, this is what I was Saying like when you, when you create the smell of poop and you are walking through one of these haunted houses, you are like. And then you're. You're prone to have more of your body. You are. Your defenses are down, your mouth is open and then you get sprayed. And now it's. Now I took a big.

D (51:45)

Well, that's my. That's my new show. That's a riff. You know that because that's what Hot Ones is. You know, Hot Ones is like, it puts you in a position where you're physically uncomfortable and so you're more likely to say or reveal more personal things or be more. Your guard is dropped. And so my version of a similar show is you just go around picking up particularly pungent shits.

B (52:09)

Oh, Jason, I'm so sorry. Keenan Ivory Waynes actually has that. No. Yeah, yeah, that's a show on Quibi.

D (52:17)

Oh, it's on Quibi.

B (52:18)

It's a quick bite. It's a quick bite.

D (52:20)

Quibi's back.

B (52:21)

They're bringing back Quibi for that show. Show. It's only.

D (52:24)

It's the only streamer with Roku bought. Quibby Roku owns the Quibi library. I have only just recently found this out.

B (52:30)

Yes. And you can watch all of the. The Woman with the Golden Arm. And there's some there. And they put them together. So there's a. There is a. A flow to them that I.

D (52:41)

It's more cohesive than the. Than. Than the. Them digesting them as quick bites.

B (52:47)

Quick bites. Bites.

D (52:48)

Oh, actually that. If we. If that is a segue that I can segue into something I watched.

B (52:54)

Yeah, sure, go ahead.

D (52:55)

Speaking of things that were. That were shown to us initially as one connected thing, but are actually conceived of as smaller things, which is Criterion. If you have the Criterion app.

B (53:08)

Oh yeah.

D (53:09)

They have all of the seasons of the trip. The.

B (53:13)

Oh, I love that. Yeah.

D (53:14)

Cougan and Bryden, Steve Coogan, Rob Bryden, Michael Winterbottom. The series that are all the that. And they have the movie edits as well in the States. We got the movie. We got them all edited together. They were conceived of as each of them is a six episode season of television.

B (53:33)

Wow. Okay.

D (53:34)

And the shows are incredibly satisfying just because they really dig in on more of the difficulties and the. The embarrassing fights that they're getting. It just goes deeper. Emotions.

B (53:49)

Oh, I can't wait. I just watched Criterion. Like, you know, I forget how good Criterion is and it's often one that I don't like. Just turn on. Last night I watched The. Was it the long kiss goodnight? The Elliot Gould.

D (54:01)

Oh, Long goodbye.

B (54:02)

Long goodbye. Oh, my gosh. Incredible. I just put that on and sold some laundry and I was like, so funny.

D (54:07)

So you and I similarly. So they have just put up all the Robert Altman movies.

B (54:13)

Yes.

D (54:13)

So. And I watched half of Pret A Porter last night.

B (54:16)

Okay. And I, I, I've been on one.

D (54:18)

That I haven't watched in, since it came out.

B (54:21)

Out. Well, they also have like a 70s thriller thing that was like, I think that was last month, which has been like the Parallax View and stuff like that.

D (54:28)

Chinatown.

B (54:29)

And I found my way to that because I was watching after Robert Redford died last month, I was watching Sneakers and I was like. And I was like, oh. And it reminded it. I like that. I love that.

D (54:43)

There's a, There's a great Action Boys episode about Sneakers actually from. From just a few months ago.

B (54:48)

Ooh, I gotta go listen to that. That'll be great.

D (54:50)

Action Boys have been on fire lately. Fantastic episodes.

B (54:53)

They do the Chuck Norris talk show that just a live.

D (54:56)

There was a live thing.

B (54:58)

Yes. I love that.

D (54:59)

Their live shows, which are available to, to stream on their Patreon, are incredibly funny.

B (55:04)

Get ready for June, Jason and I to be confused about the lore of the Jason films. Sorry, but this is your fair warning to just prep for that. That emotionally prepped for that for us to be confused. Anyway, IMDb breaks in the plot by saying Jason Voorhees is accidentally awakened from his watery grave and ends up stalking a ship full of graduating high school students headed to Manhattan. Oh, boy. Jason Takes Manhattan. More like Jason Travels to Manhattan. Anyway, Rotten Tomatoes gives this film 11%. And Richard Harrington from the Washington Post wrote, Jason has been raised once more from the bottom of the lake. Probably around the same time this script was scraped from the bottom of the barrel. Ooh, yeah. Way to go, Richard Harrington. I like that. I mean, I'm making fun of it, but I'm not really. It was a good one. Here we go people. You want to know what Jason Takes Manhattan's about? Well, get ready because here is a trailer.
