Transcripts
[00:00:05] Chris: All this, like, I felt like all the exposition was very, very tight and well done. Does William Shatner
[:[00:00:15] Sherry: It's like Ricky Bobby, he's covering his base. Yeah, same with
[:[00:00:21] James: When she's in a loud crowd. Put it in the trailer.
[:[00:00:30] Chris: Yeah, I like the setup of the movie a lot.
[:[00:00:38] James: That's a, that's an emotional swing for 24, 48 hours.
[:[00:00:56] Sherry: Yes.
[:[00:01:02] Phil: Now, we did it for Big Lebowski, because for me, that's a Banner movie. Is this a Banner movie for you, Sherry, like Blabowski is for me, do you think?
[:[00:01:10] Phil: Okay, well then we need to do the sound effect, so let's
[:[00:01:23] Sherry: In the theater, I saw it several times.
[:[00:01:26] Sherry: Yeah, it was one of those that I'm like, okay, let's go again. Oh my [00:01:30] god, okay.
[:[00:01:34] Chris: Because I guess I feel like maybe, I guess what I was thinking, like the way we were defining it is maybe different from how you defined it possibly just now.
[:[00:01:53] Chris: Like a comfort movie versus, so it doesn't have to be a, a big blockbuster or No, no, no. [00:02:00] But it's gotta be well known though, right? I don't think so, no. Oh, I thought it was weird. Yeah, I thought it had to be well known. I was
[:[00:02:09] Chris: well known? Yeah, that's what I thought. Banner episode is
[:[00:02:15] James: The one that it's all about.
[:[00:02:26] Phil: one it's been Lebowski, I think yeah, okay, but
[:[00:02:30] Chris: No, it became bigger later Sure. Sure. It's the blockbuster pieces out, you know, cuz I agree that Big Lebowski is very much a Banner movie
[:[00:02:46] Chris: you. Yes, maybe not everybody else right on the planet
[:[00:02:54] Chris: kept going.
[:[00:03:00] James: think he got it. I think he just accepted it. Moved on.
[:[00:03:08] Chris: Like, yeah, it's one of your favorite movies. We're doing movies about podcasts. Yeah. We have to, at some point
[:[00:03:28] Phil: I might, it's like Blade Runner, I might [00:03:30] watch it every couple years.
[:[00:03:32] Phil: a baner. No, I wouldn't Well, but it's a
[:[00:03:37] Phil: I don't know quotes from it, necessarily, except a couple. I don't Think about it a lot or use it in my everyday speech. Like I do I get,
[:[00:03:45] James: Maybe I
[:[00:03:48] James: maybe banner episodes is a, you know, an extra stamp of, this is Phil's stamp. Yeah. Yeah. So share the Goonies or Sherry's.
[:[00:03:59] James: [00:04:00] no, absolutely.
[:[00:04:01] Sherry: So we can have more than one, of course.
[:[00:04:08] Phil: As far as I know, this
[:[00:04:13] Phil: We tried to, and, and unforgiveness unforgiveness is 92. So it's a little older, but. Yeah, I mean, this Academy Award winner, I think, and this kind of thing.
[:[00:04:25] James: deal. Well, I can, I can ask real quick, cause I know what my next movie pic's going to be. Yeah. It's [00:04:30] Jurassic Park. Oh yeah. Would that be a banner episode? Cause ah. Yes.
[:[00:04:41] Phil: So that potentially
[:[00:04:49] James: we're doing. And he runs
[:[00:04:53] James: is Dilbert presents. Okay. Okay. This would be a Jurassic park would be Spielberg's directorial [00:05:00] movie.
[:[00:05:02] Phil: Malcolm quite a lot, you know hard question to me. No, to to, to, to, you know. Oh, you mean Spielberg?
[:[00:05:11] Phil: quoting, like, you know, that is one big pile of shit, or, you know. Right,
[:[00:05:18] James: Yeah. So anyway, that, that's.
[:[00:05:25] Sherry: it's on, I'm watching it. Especially, well, we'll get to it when we get [00:05:30] to it. Yeah, yeah, but yeah. There's one scene in there that,
[:[00:05:38] Phil: Oh,
[:[00:05:42] James: wanted to pick a Spielberg movie, and it was between that and Jaws. And I thought that Jurassic Park maybe would fit more of the, the banner episode, heavy hitter things than Jaws. Because Jaws, I mean, it's right there with it.
[:[00:05:56] Chris: too. Yeah, I think either one would have worked, but yeah.
[:[00:06:12] James: But that's like a cultural turning point movie. Oh yeah. I am starved to stay by Jaws. Where Jurassic Park more fits into this season, what we're doing. That's why I picked it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe Jaws in the future.
[:[00:06:32] Chris: Visual effects turned the tide too. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. As much as Jaws and Star Wars in my opinion. Yes. As far as letting everybody into the digital age. Yes,
[:[00:06:53] Chris: I,
[:[00:06:56] Chris: 12 times a year.
[:[00:07:08] Phil: the box office, none of that matter. Cause like Buckaroo Banzai is a Banner movie, but exactly.
[:[00:07:36] Sherry: it
[:[00:07:37] Sherry: That was one of the reasons I really liked, I think, Stranger is it Stranger Things at the beginning?
[:[00:07:52] Chris: For sure, for sure. That's a good description of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, the original question was, is Goonies a Boehner movie?
[:[00:08:12] Phil: And, and I don't know, I can't imagine it was the first movie like that, you know, a bunch of kids doing something, but you know, like, Other movies are like, like, you know, super eight is a movie where he was before
[:[00:08:29] James: [00:08:30] So maybe, maybe a banner episode is where we highlight that we are recognizing like the big Lebowski that not the movie. Is bigger on the outside than just the movie. The Goonies is bigger than just the movie. Cause like you think the Goonies, Oh my God, I love the Goonies. They do, you know,
[:[00:08:55] Phil: You know, exactly.
[:[00:08:57] Sherry: and kindergarten,
[:[00:09:06] Phil: Yes. The dumb. Like there's a big cult following for Night of the Comet on the internet. I'm, I'm I'm in several Facebook groups and chats, you know, about Night of the Comet and cults
[:[00:09:17] James: Sure. Well, those people meet in person. Right. I mean, you have to drink the Kool Aid in a group.
[:[00:09:35] Chris: Yes. Like haunted sites. No, no, movies,
[:[00:09:49] Sherry: All right. Sorry.
[:[00:09:52] Phil: No, no, no, no. Well, no, it was important to clarify that if we had different thoughts in our mind, because like I said, I'll, I'll watch [00:10:00] night of the unforgiven, but arguably unforgiven. is much more heralded film by one of the greatest directors, actors in the world. I mean, so there's no comparison artistically to the movies, but I will watch Night of the Comet way more.
[:[00:10:26] Sherry: Okay.
[:[00:10:29] Sherry: I'm so [00:10:30] excited.
[:[00:10:33] Phil: We're doing notable quotas.
[:[00:10:58] Phil: I don't think I've watched it.
[:[00:11:02] Phil: This is absolutely the, the raw and uncut version.
[:[00:11:22] Sherry: So, these are quotes from some of my favorite movies. Alright. Okay? Yes. They're pretty easy. For you? We'll [00:11:30] see. No, they're pretty easy. Oh, we'll see. Okay. So, Rabbit is good, rabbit is wise. Don't shake your head. You have to say it. I know I'm
[:[00:11:40] James: that Sounds like a Nicolas Cage thing.
[:[00:11:45] Sherry: Rabbit is good rabbit is wise Yeah, the guy who don't yeah, don't fold the maps you roll Yeah, yeah, Cameron from Ferris Bueller. Oh,
[:[00:11:59] Sherry: Yeah. I say that all [00:12:00] the time. Rabbit is good, rabbit is wise. I do too, because I like that one. Yeah. Okay.
[:[00:12:07] Phil: No, no, that was the same guy in that movie as Austin Biglebowski who plays Brandt, you know. He doesn't say Rabbit is good, he says Fuckzone. Yeah. Yeah.
[:[00:12:17] Phil: Loser. Moon, move on. Yeah. He was loser. Move on. I say that one a lot too. Yeah. Food .
[:[00:12:25] Chris: It does. Yeah. They, they see Big Twister or whatever. Yeah. The dead star. That's no moon. That's [00:12:30] a, okay, cool. So plays, there
[:[00:12:32] James: Yeah. And twister would be a banner episode
[:[00:12:42] Sherry: I know, there's certain posters we have up in the room. One of them is, well, that's a Laserdisc of Twister, I think. And then we have the Goonies hanging up. That's all we are. The laser desk, laser, a laser only bag. They had lasers back in cowboy times. Well, they make, they make [00:13:00] perfect
[:[00:13:02] Sherry: they make perfect wall hangings because you can use the LP.
[:[00:13:07] Sherry: Frames they make for the records. And we actually have unforgiven. Yeah, it's hanging up another room, but we have the goonies and the big Lebowski and of course Prince's bride hanging up in here. All right. So anyway, so next one There's no crying in baseball.
[:[00:13:26] Phil: own.
[:[00:13:34] Sherry: That is one movie, I'm not kidding you, I could sit and watch it over and over, well, I don't care.
[:[00:13:45] Phil: Oh
[:[00:13:46] Phil: well, you know. In
[:[00:13:50] James: Yeah, sure,
[:[00:13:56] Sherry: you know, it's got a good cast in it too.
[:[00:13:58] Sherry: 28th
[:[00:14:01] Sherry: Okay. Anyway, I was talking about the movie though. The movie has a really good cast in it. You know,
[:[00:14:10] Sherry: is it Bill Pullman plays in the husband that shows up
[:[00:14:14] Chris: Oh yeah. Right.
[:[00:14:24] Chris: John Leavitt. John Leavitt. Yes.
[:[00:14:35] Phil: Here we are.
[:[00:14:37] Phil: Mm hmm.
[:[00:14:43] Chris: Pee wee.
[:[00:14:48] Phil: Stars
[:[00:15:01] James: Pee wee's Big Adventure connected to the Goonies.
[:[00:15:12] Chris: Brolin?
[:[00:15:13] Chris: Yeah.
[:[00:15:16] Phil: really? Yeah. What
[:[00:15:18] Phil: I don't know. I've seen Pee wee's big adventure maybe twice.
[:[00:15:24] Phil: Oh, Mr. Brolin.
[:[00:15:26] James: I don't know. I
[:[00:15:29] James: [00:15:30] Barbra Streisand's husband.
[:[00:15:32] James: Brolin. Brolin he
[:[00:15:38] Sherry: Can I know his first name? He was in the Amityville Horror and he was in Echo.
[:[00:15:50] James: You would think I would know that , I don't.
[:[00:15:57] Chris: right.
[:[00:16:03] Chris: All right. That's good.
[:[00:16:15] James: That's good by Devo.
[:[00:16:19] James: Man. Devo needs to be more popular.
[:[00:16:32] Phil: That was a
[:[00:16:54] James: 1985 October something. 15th, October 15th, 1985. [00:17:00] Yeah. Same Saturday, same everything. So those things happen on the exact same. That's yes. October October 20th, Saturday, October 26th, 1985 incidentally happens to be exactly the same day on which the events, the original back to the future happened.
[:[00:17:20] Phil: Damn right. All right. Are we ready for anything else before we get into money creates fans? All right.[00:17:30]
[:[00:17:58] Phil: And I think I saw those scores and [00:18:00] I said, yeah, that makes sense. The Critical Consensus, Critics Consensus, I printed this out or made a note of it because I had rated this movie on our Letterboxd account and I said much of the same thing. The Goonies is an energetic, sometimes noisy mix of Spielbergian sentiment and funhouse tricks that will appeal to kids and nostalgic adults alike.
[:[00:18:47] Phil: So I think it, it is the critics sort of didn't say pan on it, but didn't have a strong, an opinion as the fans, because I do think structurally It may be a little [00:19:00] problematic, and there's a lot of people all talking at once that make scenes noisy to me. But, 91 percent I think is right where it should be, probably, as far as fans appreciation of this movie.
[:[00:19:58] Phil: Did any of you all come across any different [00:20:00] numbers or anything? I'm just seeing 64.
[:[00:20:16] Phil: Yes.
[:[00:20:22] Chris: Yeah. Three times, but yeah.
[:[00:20:29] Chris: [00:20:30] and you and Sherry saw it opening weekend.
[:[00:20:33] Chris: Oh, but you think you did?
[:[00:20:39] Sherry: I did see it a bunch
[:[00:20:41] Sherry: I don't know if I saw it opening
[:[00:20:44] Sherry: but I, we went to see it and then we went to see it again.
[:[00:20:58] James: So this is the first like [00:21:00] sit through the whole thing. And yeah, it was, I get it. It was totally enjoyable.
[:[00:21:14] Chris: Yeah. She was like, is this the right movie? I'm like, yeah, it's the right movie. Give me a minute. These are the bad guys. Did we see the prison, the jail when we were there? No.
[:[00:21:28] Chris: More importantly, did you see [00:21:30] Mr.
[:[00:21:34] Sherry: windows. We drove past
[:[00:21:42] Sherry: may, we may have a classroom. Don't remember.
[:[00:21:49] Chris: I guess I'm setting up kind of the town and showing everything. Yes the chase scene Oh, yeah, at least like where is this? Where was this film? I was like, this is filmed where there is no bathrooms Yeah, [00:22:00] I'm like a story of Oregon, Oregon. Yep,
[:[00:22:08] Phil: That's where they wound up.
[:[00:22:21] Chris: distance in one of the. Scenes in the movie. Yes, you can see
[:[00:22:25] Chris: house.
[:[00:22:31] Sherry: one of the roughest rivers, that's where the coast guard practices off
[:[00:22:37] Sherry: and but I think washington state is where lewis and clark actually There was a
[:[00:22:47] Sherry: It could be I don't know.
[:[00:23:09] Sherry: There is a shipwreck there
[:[00:23:13] Sherry: there for over a hundred years, right? Yeah. I mean it's not much left But it is, it is just really strange that you can walk up to. Rusted out, hull of a ship. Yeah. It's, it's been there for many, many years. So it's a neat [00:23:30] place to visit. It really is a neat place.
[:[00:23:37] James: It's a beautiful spot. It looks great. I'd love to visit.
[:[00:23:43] James: We'll stay away
[:[00:23:57] Phil: Alright ready for the beats [00:24:00] Try to break this down. Like I said, I think I had a little trouble. I think I Put the break into two and three different spots before I finally get settled. Alright, let's do, let's do the beat.
[:[00:24:28] Chris: It's not that kind of movie kid. It's
[:[00:24:33] Phil: I have as my opening image. You have the, what, what kind of genre is it? Well, okay. Yeah. For both these movies, those Unforgiven and Goonies, I pegged them as the same genre, which I'm calling, I'm picking the Golden Fleece. Road trip movie.
[:[00:24:48] Phil: For both.
[:[00:24:50] Chris: We chose to Golden Fleece.
[:[00:24:53] Phil: Very well. Now, it's funny you say that because in Unforgiven, and we'll talk about this when we get to that movie, of course, but [00:25:00] in Unforgiven, I think it is very much a coming of age movie for the, the Schofield kid. Oh yeah. I think he grows up fast.
[:[00:25:28] James: Goland. Not only just [00:25:30] foreclosure, but demolition.
[:[00:25:36] Phil: right? Yes. So the opening image is more of a setup. The bad guys, the fratellis make a breakout and. I wrote, they're not the smartest bunch, and I immediately started thinking of the Sticky Bandits from Home Alone movies.
[:[00:26:15] Phil: Then there is a match cut from the escape to a hot pursuit in an old movie. We get the intro to the kids, Cheerleader, Data, Chunk, Mouth Brand, and Mikey. Through this sort of high speed pursuit as the credits roll.
[:[00:26:29] James: [00:26:30] And he loses his strawberry milkshake and a piece of pizza.
[:[00:26:42] Sherry: He makes, he likes to make up stories, but it's funny that he's the only one that really witnessed. Yes.
[:[00:26:51] Chris: Michael Jackson came to your house, but his sister did, but his sister.
[:[00:27:14] Phil: You wouldn't be here if it wasn't. No, I didn't catch that. That's
[:[00:27:20] Phil: well, you wouldn't be here if it wasn't. Shut up, man. Mrs. Marsh, Mikey and Bran's mother. Mouth's name is Clark. I don't think we ever hear that ever again in the movie, [00:27:30] but Mrs.
[:[00:27:38] James: that. I love those parts. It came to me this morning as I was getting ready that his dad is a plumber. I was like, so he's a plumber and he speaks fluent Spanish.
[:[00:28:07] James: Apparently, apparently that actress, she speaks perfect English. She was the they, she was the one that taught Corey Feldman phonetically. Oh, how to say those things. That's how he was just rolling.
[:[00:28:19] James: spoke Spanish cause
[:[00:28:20] James: nails a man. Yes, he does. I guess she was the one that was coaching him.
[:[00:28:25] James: Yeah. That'd be something that also sets up that he can speak [00:28:30] Spanish and read.
[:[00:28:42] Phil: And I think they did that pretty good. They set up most get away
[:[00:28:44] Phil: Yeah. That's how you get away with it.
[:[00:28:56] Phil: I have the catalyst coming in at 15. So within the first [00:29:00] 15 minutes, which I think is probably about right.
[:[00:29:07] James: You even know that chunk is you know he destroys everything, he gets his hands on mouth is a talker. And then what is it when the mom comes in, she completely just ignores the older brother.
[:[00:29:23] Phil: Right, right. In fact, when he's stuck in the chair, he's like, you need to quit these weird workouts. Like, you don't even think that he's they're naturally curious, [00:29:30] adventurous. They they rustle through the attic. The goonies a bunch of rejects.
[:[00:29:43] James: You don't get much tighter than that. Yes. I think Terminator 2 had a pretty tight little blurb in there when the one guy was explaining the robotics industry.
[:[00:30:00] Phil: And the beats may be more solid than I was able to figure out. But usually usually you can trust Spielberg to be very compact and tight and organized in his movies.
[:[00:30:16] James: a Richard Donner movie, sir.
[:[00:30:21] James: So don't take away from Richard Donner. No, no, no. I mean, he's got a career.
[:[00:30:27] James: Superman.
[:[00:30:44] Phil: And very quickly,
[:[00:30:56] Phil: Yes. All that's going to be donated yet, I guess, to the museum [00:31:00] or whatever. And he attempts other attempts have been made to locate this treasure.
[:[00:31:06] Phil: Chester Copper Pot. We learn. In this setup also had made a run at it and never came back and we find out his fate later. Yeah. So like, yeah, within a very quick amount of time you are and not, and not in a, you know, boring way, like you get all the information you need, but you're on board for the ride the whole way.
[:[00:31:28] James: Nice. Yeah.
[:[00:31:42] Phil: Yeah, you can actually get one, two, bam! I might have missed that the first time I ever watched it, but I thought that was Well, he had a good hold on it, and then he's just like, I'm like, ah, bam! Yes. One eyed willy in the pirate treasure, many have sought it before. We get the backstory on Willie and his epic sea battle.
[:[00:32:14] Phil: What if the map could help them find the treasure and save the goonies and the house and the goondogs. So right away. We are given the stakes and everything.
[:[00:32:33] James: They'll punish you. And then all the kids go up there, even though they're grounded and he knows all they'll be in trouble. They show up and then now what the call to adventure, I guess you'd say is we can find this treasure and then everybody's like, and I forget about it downstairs.
[:[00:32:52] Chris: debate.
[:[00:33:15] Chris: yes, that's what I have.
[:[00:33:16] Phil: So about 15 minutes. So we're good there. Okay. Yeah. So I have, all right, let's see. So I have debate. Yeah. I have basically a full page of debate notes. Oh, which is, that seems long. It does. It seemed very long to me because I kept [00:33:30] waiting for them to make a decision. And it seemed like one or more was taking a long time to get on board because they all had to get on board to do this thing.
[:[00:33:44] Chris: Sorry. Yeah, no, I, I don't guess I've thought about before, but yeah, Mikey's everyone else's B story. Cause he's the same. He's a flat art character. He doesn't,
[:[00:33:53] Phil: So here's, you guys can tell me what you have, but I'll just run through very quickly. what I think is a [00:34:00] massive debate section. Rand doesn't believe him and the Goonies seem less than believing. The call is refused by all but Mikey. If we don't do something now, there's going to be a golf course where we're standing.
[:[00:34:23] Chris: whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah. Them riding off on the bikes, them tying brand up and riding off on the bikes, that's their brick [00:34:30] entity.
[:[00:34:32] Chris: Yeah. Cause the, cause the guys come. I absolutely thought that. Give this to your, give this to your dad. All that stuff. Like that's the, the double bump. Okay. This is, this thread is fucking real. Here's these guys with paperwork to give to dad and you know what I mean?
[:[00:34:51] Chris: you know, they're that's your break into them. The debate's not as near as long as you think it is. Right? Yes. Okay. There is a debate. They go back in there. Like James said, everybody's like, Oh yeah, we can do this.
[:[00:35:02] Phil: even to the point of And we'll get to it when we get to it. But even to the point when they're under the wishing well, they're still, a lot of them are still thinking about bailing at that point. That's not
[:[00:35:14] Chris: The the apple cart or whatever this upsets the whole trip. That's not what he calls it. What's it called?
[:[00:35:24] James: I mean, they, I had, I just remember, I thought I, I had the break into two at the same spot when the [00:35:30] kids break out, run off on their bike.
[:[00:35:41] Phil: car. is rival for the girl. Yeah. So he's
[:[00:35:45] Phil: off flying
[:[00:35:47] Chris: the
[:[00:35:48] Chris: act. Yes. He calls it a road apple. Cause it's the, the apple that upsets the okay.
[:[00:35:55] Phil: Okay. So maybe, you know, like that includes
[:[00:36:00] Phil: and it does. And it does absolutely.
[:[00:36:02] Phil: Now, so the joke is when you take a test, always go with your first answer. So maybe I should have stuck with my first answer.
[:[00:36:10] James: There's a lot of, I saw, I caught it back and forth. Yes. The bottom of the fireplace. I had that maybe as a second. Cause now they're going to the upside down world, pushing
[:[00:36:25] Chris: But they're already on the road.
[:[00:36:40] Chris: And then it's just a lot of wishy washy bullshit as they go on, but that's yeah, the cheerleader is afraid of everything and didn't, you know, she looks like, probably because I'm, I guess, reading Harry Potter right now. So like into Harry Potter world. Yeah, she's like, she's like, okay, good. She's like an older Hermione.
[:[00:36:59] Phil: Yeah, probably. Yeah. [00:37:00] Yeah, absolutely. All right. So I, I probably should have gone my first cause I absolutely had them on the bikes. As, okay, well this is the second act, but then I So what did you
[:[00:37:09] Chris: Like, where did you settle on it? I'm not When they find the ship? Yeah. He's having to retrace his steps. Go ahead.
[:[00:37:19] Chris: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've interrupted you a thousand times, I apologize.
[:[00:37:25] James: clipped that market, put it in the trailer.
[:[00:37:49] Phil: Off road. Okay. All right. All right. Okay. The bad guys discover the kids. Mikey uses the ruse of having to go to the bathroom and discovers Sloth. Ran to the rescue. Kids suck, she says. [00:38:00] I'm going through this very quickly because I think there's a lot of, like, okay, so I was confused about whether they were on the journey yet.
[:[00:38:22] Phil: Chunk discovers ice cream and, and a fed on ice, they discover the dead federal agent. Brandon and others want [00:38:30] out, but through the tunnel is the only way out. And then Mikey, I thought, I thought, okay, well, this must be it because Mikey says it all starts here. That's the fireplace. There's no way we have to go through the fireplace to get out.
[:[00:38:51] Sherry: this scene. When, when he, when Chuck gets caught by the Fratelli on the road, that little kid, he [00:39:00] is some more actor.
[:[00:39:04] Phil: He was, he stole a lot of scenes. I think he was. Like, everybody remembers Chunk. Yes, when he starts
[:[00:39:14] Phil: Chunk is, is, Sayings, Hebrew, Hebrew.
[:[00:39:18] Phil: he'll
[:[00:39:18] Phil: a reference to All we have in our attic is Hanukkah stuff, so apparently he's, and he
[:[00:39:26] Sherry: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what, okay.
[:[00:39:46] James: Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. That's
[:[00:39:55] Sherry: did, and he doesn't look the same. Yeah, right. How do top
[:[00:40:03] Chris: The actor's name for, for data or whatever. Like I think he's his lawyer.
[:[00:40:24] Phil: absolutely.
[:[00:40:25] James: he
[:[00:40:26] Phil: Yeah.
[:[00:40:28] Phil: The shuffle. [00:40:30] The shuffle. Yes. That's
[:[00:40:35] Phil: Yeah. Roseanne's
[:[00:40:40] Phil: She is funny. She is
[:[00:40:41] Phil: So that, so I have this off now. I'm sort of walking this back because I think you guys are right.
[:[00:40:51] James: Mark that one too.
[:[00:40:56] James: I looked at it. I looked at it as the Fratellis were [00:41:00] the the rolling ball in Indiana Jones, like you cannot go back.
[:[00:41:09] Phil: it's to drive them
[:[00:41:19] Phil: Well, they, they, the brand keeps talking about how they're going to get in trouble.
[:[00:41:32] Chris: Well, but it's because they don't believe, right? Like he's, right. He's already there. If you think about it in B story, flat art stuff, right. Mikey's already where everybody else needs to be.
[:[00:41:53] Phil: That.
[:[00:42:09] James: Yeah. That's them going in under the fireplace at that time.
[:[00:42:19] Phil: it's right where it should be. That's there's
[:[00:42:21] Phil: I think there's a 27 minutes or
[:[00:42:29] Chris: So he [00:42:30] can't pursue them. Yeah. Right. And I think it's Mike. He's like, this is his favorite thing in the world. And then mouth goes about to be his flattest thing in the world. He mowed like so
[:[00:42:41] Phil: Yeah. So my break into two is wrong. We're going to go with you guys using the pipes to try and call for help.
[:[00:43:08] Phil: Right. But it is way late and I think the fun and games start after they meet the Fratellis when they ride their bikes. So I think, I think, yeah, the writing of the bikes probably is the break into two.
[:[00:43:28] James: Yeah. Yes. And [00:43:30] expand. Yes. My thought was, would the country club have discovered the treasure in the pirate ship during the demolition and deconstruction of everything?
[:[00:43:46] James: So yeah, because those plumbers were right there to finding that opening to that cave. They were right there. Yes. Yes. So anyway, but yeah, they would have discovered it and got all the riches and the riches become richer. Oh yeah. And I noticed in the movie, they never [00:44:00] call treasure, treasure. They call it the rich stuff.
[:[00:44:13] Phil: Missed that. That's interesting. Yeah. So that's about breaking the two 47 minutes, which is completely wrong. It's way too late. And so now I have my fun and game started, but we are obviously into the fun and games.
[:[00:44:38] James: right? Mis deeds, all of it. Okay. I'll tell
[:[00:44:43] Phil: Yeah. He's got a good memory too. Oh yeah. Now whether that, well, talk about him as a young actor or whatever, but he had a, he had bulks of dialogue and for him to be able to sort of do that naturally,
[:[00:44:56] Phil: my
[:[00:45:06] Chris: She she talks that way cause she is missing part of her tongue. Right. Right. Oh, the actress? Yeah, the actress. Really? In real life or in the movie? Oh. Yeah, in real life. Yeah, like she got cancer on her tongue. Oh, I didn't know that. And part of her moved and so I thought it was, I just found it humorous that, you know, when she goes to, starts, starts talking about threatening to cut off tongues.
[:[00:45:31] Chris: later, cause like you said, it is more pronounced in, in Throw Mama. Yeah. But yeah, cause I guess when we watched Throw Mama, what, last season, you know, two seasons ago, whatever, Stacey looked it up and that's how we found out.
[:[00:45:41] Phil: Oh, the, the, the mama Fratelli had her tongue. Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay. I didn't know that. And then she made a
[:[00:45:55] Chris: Yeah. I'm not drinking that water either.
[:[00:46:00] Phil: I think it's probably rusty water. Well, it's wet, ain't it?
[:[00:46:05] Phil: pipe. Yeah, I think it's straight up rust. Those
[:[00:46:12] Phil: Yes.
[:[00:46:13] Phil: were originally going to do counterfeiting.
[:[00:46:16] Phil: Their main goal was not the treasure. Yeah. They discovered the treasure. Yeah. Because,
[:[00:46:26] Phil: They, at that point, are they just chasing the kids or are they after the treasure as [00:46:30] well?
[:[00:46:32] James: learned of the treasure as they got deeper down there.
[:[00:46:56] Phil: Booty, that's what I said. No, but in real life it [00:47:00] just occurred to me now, but I can't remember what. They're called, we'll have to look that up later. The underground tunnels in the Corpse of the Illuminati where a Chester Copperpot went looking for the treasure and never came back and they find him.
[:[00:47:31] Phil: So this is a running gag. And then, and they discover One Eyed Willie's key, trip a mousetrap of sorts set by One Eyed Willie driving them deeper into tunnels, the falling rocks, very much sort of like an Indiana Jones feel, I thought.
[:[00:47:44] Phil: Bats, lots of them rabies, cut to Chunk who is still confessing bats come out of the fireplace, Chunk gives a warning, run, the waterfall the town, oh yeah, the town wishing well.
[:[00:48:03] Sherry: All right. When they first walk into that wishing well.
[:[00:48:08] Sherry: To me, it didn't look like coins. It looked like sparkling gold. No, you're,
[:[00:48:17] Phil: Yes.
[:[00:48:19] Phil: stuff, the rich stuff. Now this is okay. So. Those are the fun and games. This is where I have my midpoint is, and it's essentially at one hour. So at this [00:48:30] point I was like, okay, now I'm back on track. Is this where you had your midpoint at the wishing well? Where did y'all have your midpoint?
[:[00:48:38] James: I didn't get one. Yeah. Midpoint would be at the wishing well. Yeah, that's where I had it. Okay. When she throws her jacket out,
[:[00:48:57] Phil: So he is taking it back. So when they come across [00:49:00] this, they think they found money, which they have. And is it enough to, to solve their problems? No, but they think they found treasure. And then there's this moral argument of, you can't take these. These are people's wishes, you know? And then the speech by Mikey, this is our time, our time down here.
[:[00:49:26] Chris: So, yeah, well, there's also this, I guess a little bit of this theme about [00:49:30] taking from other people, right? That's not yours, right? The country club is taking all of their homes.
[:[00:49:34] Phil: good. Yeah.
[:[00:49:46] Phil: on the scales.
[:[00:49:47] Chris: Yeah. And then the bad guys do, and then they get their comeuppance.
[:[00:49:57] Chris: want me? But yeah, no, that I didn't have it, [00:50:00] but yeah, that sounds a good midpoint. Cause that's her. Cause that, yeah, it makes a little speech. She sends a jacket up committing to the, to the rest of the adventure.
[:[00:50:25] Chris: He thought that was super cheesy.
[:[00:50:27] Phil: Well, it's very much [00:50:30] a
[:[00:50:48] Chris: Come on dad, I'm like, what do you want me to say? I mean, it's a gag. Yeah, everything is just, you know, this humorous to me, the stuff that is okay. And, but that that's [00:51:00] not, you know, taste is not to be disputed. They had
[:[00:51:09] Chris: toilet thing with Troy, he was fine with that.
[:[00:51:15] Phil: No. All right. So that's where we, I have the midpoint. I think, I think it's probably okay there.
[:[00:51:29] Chris: [00:51:30] Really? Yeah. Which I don't, I didn't notice that till obviously, you know, watch it this time. I don't feel like I'd seen those shoes anywhere else. Even like the way, and I love Terminator, but the way they do it, like when he shows them, like which shoes, cause he puts them up to his barefoot to see the size, and then he'd have this shot and they're like, Ooh, we got Nikes, right?
[:[00:51:47] Phil: or Pumas, I thought they were Pumas.
[:[00:51:57] Phil: probably were.
[:[00:52:03] Chris: Oh yeah, absolutely.
[:[00:52:23] Phil: Well, when the
[:[00:52:37] Phil: I think so. Chunk and Sloth are, make friends. The Fratellis pursue the Goonies into the tunnel. So they chase them into the tunnels. And then this, I say it's another debate, but it's the road apple, like you said. It's our time down here. The apple cart has been upset and Mikey gets it back again. And so I went back and forth because I thought well, here's more fun and games the the key and the stones You know, she's playing the piano [00:53:00] almost sudden death for data as he falls down and almost gets spiked The discovery of another room below the sheriff knows of chunk in his stories and doesn't believe him And then sloth and chunk enter the tunnels.
[:[00:53:30] Phil: The bad guys are closer. She's playing the bones. Yes Data set up some booby traps, I, I, I said, we have a portable home alone and data. If you hit the wrong note, we'll all be flat. Because she was like, be flat, if you hit the wrong note, we'll all be flat. We'll all be flat, yep. I thought that was clever.
[:[00:53:51] Phil: Yes. Yeah. Way before this, even, they see his body crushed under a rock and they
[:[00:54:01] Chris: The three, the three of them wait. Yeah. Yeah. Cause he was not Indian Jones and was killed by one of the booby traps.
[:[00:54:25] Phil: Yeah. It looked very fun.
[:[00:54:32] Phil: I need to do that 10 more times. Cause that's, that's, it's a, it's a pretty cool set, you know, and then to have a water slide through all that, I'd be on that thing all day, man. Waterslide to Treasures.
[:[00:54:54] James: So when the Fratellis chase them down the, the water slide, do they have as much fun on the [00:55:00] slide?
[:[00:55:02] Phil: No. You don't see Sloth? I
[:[00:55:08] Chris: Cause the Fratelli's are on the log. Sloth starts at the top of the ship though, when he comes back, right? And he, cause he slides down like on the video, like with a knife. Yes. That's what I had.
[:[00:55:19] James: That's the high tower surprise. Yeah. Because Sloth was in the dungeon eating his food and watching pirate movies. Right. So now he's got a pirate ship. [00:55:30]
[:[00:55:38] Phil: yours. Yeah, so I don't, I don't, I don't, because the fatalities were on the log, the data had, had oiled up and they,
[:[00:55:47] Phil: Yeah, yeah, but do they, do we assume they went down this way? Yeah, they make it by,
[:[00:56:00] Phil: the Fratellis, I mean, did they?
[:[00:56:09] Sherry: don't see all that because the kids are in there with one. Right, right,
[:[00:56:18] James: Yeah. Well, I don't know. Yeah. No, probably. Maybe in sloths. First, first bath in a while. She probably kicked
[:[00:56:31] Chris: Yeah, Stacey looked him up and I should have wrote down his name. He was like a football player that played that role.
[:[00:56:50] Phil: Yeah, 7 years. Is this what, 82? Yeah.
[:[00:56:57] Sherry: 85 because I had just graduated [00:57:00] from high school.
[:[00:57:04] Chris: that summer. So it takes place in
[:[00:57:07] Chris: October 15th of 85. So it came out after that. It came out the summer of the summer of 85. Yeah. So it was,
[:[00:57:16] Chris: in the future, in the future.
[:[00:57:25] Phil: Did you have an all is lost false victory? Anybody? It's
[:[00:57:34] Phil: Yeah, I think, I think the water, the. Is a false defeat? The, the, the, the wishing well, yeah.
[:[00:57:40] James: Yeah, the false victory was the, the actually finding the right treasure and getting it, but they end up losing, getting robbed. Yes,
[:[00:57:56] Phil: All is lost. The Fratellis catch them, capture them, and the treasure is [00:58:00] why all is lost. Yeah, they pull it all out of Mouth's mouth, all the gems and all the pearl necklaces. The pearl necklace and the gems. The Fratelli sketch that says Miles lost. And then I, I don't know if I struggled with the break into three, but this is where I have my break into three, obviously chunk and sloth to the rescue.
[:[00:58:26] James: And the Superman theme plays [00:58:30] when he rips his shirt. Yes. Yes. Cause it's a Richard Donner movie. You're right. Richard Donner did Superman one and two. There you
[:[00:58:37] Phil: That's awesome. I didn't, I didn't even put that together. That's cool. Mama Fratelli says, I only dropped you once, maybe twice, to sloth, you know. Cause she's singing When the bell breaks the cradle will fall down, will come baby and sloth. Fall, fall. Baby fall. I only dropped you once, maybe twice.
[:[00:59:01] Sherry: good, I need to add something about everyone being in that water. Yeah. The boat. Do y'all know at the end when the media was interviewing? Data. And he says something about the octopus.
[:[00:59:15] Sherry: There was a scene with an octopus, but they cut it out. Oh,
[:[00:59:18] Sherry: Yeah.
[:[00:59:32] Phil: They don't get the gold, but the Fratelli's do. So I guess the high tower surprise is a setback. And so I sort of pegged that what was yours? Cause the
[:[00:59:49] Chris: And then the high tower surprise. Yeah. I have a setback, but then a re former new plan, new plan. Yeah. So while showing
[:[01:00:03] Phil: I, I wasn't able to sort of nail all that down. My new plan is dynamite blows a hole in the rocks and brings down the cavern.
[:[01:00:15] Chris: loves chunk. I guess that's forming the, the, the, the team, right? Cause sloth was quote a bad guy until now. So now it's which side. So they're forming a new team for me, you know, forming the team and gathering their supplies, which is the candles, right?
[:[01:00:33] James: early, early. Yeah. The hey you guys part. Maybe that was the gathering the team the team is back together now.
[:[01:00:43] James: Yeah.
[:[01:00:48] James: Yes. Getting outta the boat.
[:[01:00:56] Chris: Right.
[:[01:01:09] Phil: I need to look up, cause there, there is definitely a name for that kind of intricate system to achieve something simple. The law and the press show up, them damn goobers I think Sherry quotes that also. Families reunited, Chuck, Chuck gets a pizza. Data like son, like father.
[:[01:01:38] James: It's very, very similar mirror image. There's a bunch of contraptions that things that open it up and let the ship out. Yes. Yes. Yes. Contraptions throughout the movie. Yes.
[:[01:01:52] Chris: Rube Goldberg? There it is. That's
[:[01:01:56] Chris: Rube Goldberg machine.
[:[01:01:59] Chris: absolutely. That is [01:02:00] correct. Named after American cartoonist Rube Goldberg for a chain reaction type machine or contraption intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an indirect or impractically overly complicated way.
[:[01:02:25] Phil: I thought that was a pretty sweet line. Can't hug a photograph. Yeah.
[:[01:02:28] Phil: I love that. Right. Your [01:02:30] voice is kind of nice when your mouth isn't screwing it up. Well, your face is kind of nice when, You look kind of nice when your face isn't screwing it up. Is that chunking? I mean And then I thought it was funny when I guess brand is kissing the girl.
[:[01:02:45] James: Well now, yeah, they're actually, you know, the mother hugs the older brother and actually sees him and everybody's safe. And now she's not yet. All the kids are good.
[:[01:03:05] Phil: Family makes them the, oh, family makes them the richest people in the story. So, you know, not worried about the money. He's, you know, the housekeeper discovers a holdout gems enough to save them all. And this time the story is real that Chunk is telling because the ship is proof. So all loose ties wrapped up, everybody's saved.
[:[01:03:42] Phil: Yet in the mummy, you know, they had a camel's, yeah. The, from what's his name? Benny, Benny had, had a camel. Been a little too greedy, but he, he had loaded the treasure up into it.
[:[01:03:57] Phil: I think it's, I think it's losing [01:04:00] the treasure. They get the treasure, but then the fratellis take it on the ship.
[:[01:04:07] James: setback. So had they had included the octopus Yeah. In there. Maybe that's why they took it out is 'cause now you have too many, yeah, too many things. You have a high tower surprise now you have an octopus. Yes. You're, you're fighting now You have a blocked door.
[:[01:04:24] Phil: Well, yeah, it's what, what is a Catboy calls that something when you have double mumbo jumbo, double mumbo jumbo. [01:04:30] Yeah. And one of the Spider Man movies I had like triple mumbo jumbo to me. Like you had the sand guy and then you had to, it seemed like he was fighting three villains at the end of the movie, which anyway, that's right.
[:[01:04:40] Chris: yeah. The fertility should be enough. Now you got this octopus that, you know, to our knowledge, wasn't even set up. Yeah,
[:[01:04:48] Chris: Yeah.
[:[01:04:53] James: Interesting. Okay.
[:[01:05:00] James: Chuck is a standout in this movie.
[:[01:05:03] James: It was, I, having watched this for the first time all the way through last night, I was laughing. Yeah. When he squeezed his milkshake and smashed the pizza on the window, he had me. And that was at the first 30 seconds of the movie, I think. Right. So it was fantastic.
[:[01:05:29] James: opinion. [01:05:30] And Sean Astin great. That was a great, great acting job from him and Josh Brolin.
[:[01:05:42] Chris: Like, he's like, oh, that's Bob so young looking, you know, like he thinks of him as, as Bob from Stranger Things versus, you know, Rudy or anything else. Yeah, or even Proto, or Sam, yeah, Sam. Which is crazy to me, but.
[:[01:05:55] Chris: crazy. Sean Astin's had a long
[:[01:06:01] Phil: Did he have a role in Psych for a while?
[:[01:06:06] Chris: You should do Toy Soldiers one time. Yeah, Guy Harden in school. Oh
[:[01:06:14] Chris: never saw Toy Soldiers? I did not. They're a bunch of rich kids in a prep school and all their fathers are You know, famous people or whatever or at least powerful people, not necessarily famous.
[:[01:06:41] Chris: It's a lot of fun.
[:[01:06:50] James: I don't think so.
[:[01:06:59] Phil: All right, so you [01:07:00] want to start us out on this was your pick sure I think we know what you're
[:[01:07:29] Sherry: I just [01:07:30] love yeah anything to do with That time period I guess you know But I don't know. I just always It and it has also this, this puzzle. Yeah. To it. The movie has a puzzle to it, so Yeah. Yeah. Clues, one clue leads to another. I think that's, huh.
[:[01:07:48] Sherry: And, and I don't know, it's just an adventure and it was just, it's just a fun, it's a fun escape.
[:[01:08:09] Phil: absolutely. It's a comfort movie for you. And I think a lot of people, I enjoy it.
[:[01:08:20] Phil: Yeah. Yeah. You, the Gooney house, right. You wrote it. I don't think you really,
[:[01:08:43] Phil: well, there was an owner like on one of the videos, maybe I don't know if it was Scott on tape or Grim.
[:[01:09:02] Sherry: Yeah,
[:[01:09:05] James: to check into it before you go You think right?
[:[01:09:28] James: Yeah, yeah Like, you're not going to be blocking [01:09:30] streets, you're not going to be doing all that, because it's just a normal street. So hopefully the new people do that.
[:[01:09:51] Sherry: And we did not go out to the, the The beach area that they had in kindergarten comp and the Goonies.
[:[01:10:00] Sherry: we went to the beach area. Yeah, but anyway No, it's a really neat place and the town,
[:[01:10:11] Sherry: if you go to the Welcome Center They they give you a list of the movies made there and stuff.
[:[01:10:19] Phil: It's all very recognizable. Yeah. Anyway. All right. Good to go.
[:[01:10:39] Chris: Yeah. Totally recommend.
[:[01:10:41] Chris: Yeah. So I think it's a considered for me, right?
[:[01:11:00] Chris: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it was fun. That's, I guess. Yeah. I mean, as far as back to the banner stuff or personal stuff, I don't think it's a personally a banner movie, but yeah, it's, it's fun movie. I've seen it, you know, a million times.
[:[01:11:21] Phil: Like, you know, I don't know, Lace reaction, you know, he's obviously not of that,
[:[01:11:34] Chris: Like, he'll flat out refuse certain things. Sure, sure. The cultural touchstones, I imagine
[:[01:11:45] James: You know, MTV, Cindy Lauper on MTV type of thing?
[:[01:11:51] Phil: Nothing ever interesting happens in this town. Well. Nowadays, people have to be entertained, they're on their phones, you know, so yeah. There is a defferent [01:12:00] touch, different touchstone for sure. That's a good point. When you, to have fun, you have to make your fun kind of thing. Right.
[:[01:12:10] James: That's what the Goonies did. They make their own trouble.
[:[01:12:19] James: the, yeah, the goondocks is like the lower income area. Wherever they were. I gotcha. So it's just lower income housing. Goondocks.
[:[01:12:27] Sherry: have a question. You were talking about [01:12:30] Tom period or whatever. Is it a big thing for kids now to want bikes?
[:[01:12:49] Sherry: Because that was the thing. I had,
[:[01:12:56] Chris: You could go and ride and be out all day and come back. Supper. You [01:13:00] can't do that anymore.
[:[01:13:02] Chris: riding yard, front yard, you know? Yeah.
[:[01:13:11] Sherry: Yeah. It wasn't like we rode around the neighborhood unless I was, you know, visiting friends or something. No, no.
[:[01:13:22] James: That's how you would tell where everybody was. All the bikes were parked out front and
[:[01:13:27] James: video games, you know,
[:[01:13:35] Chris: But even before that, even before the, you know, I want to drive a car thing became, you know, in his head, it was, he'd stopped running the bike, but it's, and he never wrote it like I did because you, you know, I mean, go as far as we could, right. You trusted more, you know, now you're worried the kids getting, you know.
[:[01:13:58] Phil: Everything is like, [01:14:00] you know, in our neighborhood, you could ride from one neighborhood to another and never get on a major highway or street. Now, I mean,
[:[01:14:07] Phil: everybody's, this, this whole neighborhood, your neighbor, everybody's butt up right up against the interstate now, you know.
[:[01:14:28] Phil: Oh, like over Xbox or? [01:14:30] Yeah,
[:[01:14:39] Chris: There's a new thing. I do that more than seeing each other
[:[01:14:58] James: And you, and other people in the [01:15:00] room can't hear you, but you can yell in this microphone if people hear you on Fortnite and stuff, so you can play your video games with your headphones in your mouth. How much is
[:[01:15:10] Chris: He knows he was interested. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're sitting there watching a movie and, or whatever, right, and we hear him in there yelling and Karen, I'm like, oh my god, can he hear himself? Like he's, you know, oh my god, I can't believe I just died or whatever. We're like, It's so annoying, kid, because he's, you know, he's got his headphones on, he's so loud.
[:[01:15:27] Phil: Apple, I guess Apple has come out with [01:15:30] these goggles. Have you seen the commercial for these goggles?
[:[01:15:32] Phil: Where, like, you can watch a movie and it'll, it's, it's on your face, but it's like super wide screen because it's on your face and it, you know, so big screen TVs, what, they go on there.
[:[01:15:47] Chris: Oh, yeah No late to sit there and watch movies on his phone and I'm like, you know, we have to like big TVs in this house Really? Well, what what do you mean? You're watching? It's so small like I know phones are gotten qualities great and they're bigger But I'm never passing that up [01:16:00] like for watching on the big screen or like a big TV Like I'm not gonna watch some shit on my phone.
[:[01:16:05] Phil: Well
[:[01:16:12] Phil: apparently, if I remember correctly It's almost like virtual you cause you can use your hands to get on Facebook and it's all just yeah. So pretty soon it's going to be two people sitting on the couch with goggles on, not even seeing each other, watching the
[:[01:16:27] James: Well, there was to to explain the, kind of the [01:16:30] capabilities, there was a guy wearing them and he walked around a gigantic pile of like granite or whatever, and he just walked around it and it measured. Yeah, yeah, it's almost like Terminator.
[:[01:16:42] James: did was look at it and walk around the whole thing.
[:[01:16:48] Phil: I mean, you'd essentially become a cyborg at that point. Pretty much. You know, you scroll through your responses, but you, you know,
[:[01:16:54] Sherry: They need that on Skidmore
[:[01:16:59] Phil: That [01:17:00] show, they never, they, they, it's all hype and they never find anything. That's, that's my. Oh my God. Well, they're making money, aren't they? They are. They are. Stay
[:[01:17:08] Phil: going to find it this time. No, you're not. Anyway. All right. Did you, did you give your recommendation?
[:[01:17:14] Chris: for all those the coupon safe or whatever,
[:[01:17:27] James: sure. When's the last time lathe. Yeah. Wanted to [01:17:30] go on a treasure hunt Right. Type of thing.
[:[01:17:35] Chris: hunt consists of getting on the Wells Fargo app and seeing how much money he has in his account. Yeah, sure. Well, and then Dad gimme money. Well, okay. What have you done, , you know, geez, can I have money? Right. That's where you come in.
[:[01:17:50] Phil: share of money.
[:[01:17:55] Phil: Yeah, so that it begs the question like how much how many new fans of [01:18:00] this movie will be attracted because of the touchstone
[:[01:18:02] Phil: you know, so some may look on it and and just not get it and and because their experience is completely Alien to what hmm.
[:[01:18:12] James: interesting take, you know Cause I mean, like you, you telling me that just the consider like, I'm like, Oh, yeah, no. Yeah. Well, would it, would it stand up? Would it stand up to the new,
[:[01:18:29] James: [01:18:30] 10 years, 20 years younger than us. Yeah. Yes. Who,
[:[01:18:42] Phil: It's loud. It's noisy. It's chaotic. But I always, always enjoy it when I watch it. So, so three recommends and a consider a strong consider. Yeah.
[:[01:18:52] Chris: medium consider.
[:[01:18:55] Chris: All right. I didn't realize we were breaking them down. I thought it was just consider. It is. It is. [01:19:00] It's not a pass.
[:[01:19:01] James: down. What is it that Homer Simpson says? It's like, it's hard for us being upper, lower middle class. That's right. What?
[:[01:19:17] This has been the [01:19:30] Goonies.
